READ THE AD$ j Along With the New { lice Inflict Heavy Damage on Cattle D D T T re a tm e n t C u ts H ig h W in te r L o sse s Lice are injurious to all types o{ cattle. Animals produce less meat and milk if lice are unchecked. Young anim als and poorly-nour- ished old anim als suffer most from lice. The winter season is the time lice are bad on cattle. The louse popula tion builds up then. Dr. Harold .Gunderson, extension entomologist a t Iowa State college, says one louse iunchecked in fall means 1,000 the 'following March. For lice control on cattle, DDT is !being used successfully. Early in !fall, before cold weather arrives, it Iis mixed with w ater and sprayed Son the animals. After cold weather ) comes, a DDT dust is recommended. !Farm ers are being advised to use a j dust containing 10 per cent DDT. ;Some of the powdered louse killers on the m arket contain less than 10 !per cent DDT, but have other ef fective insecticides combined with !the DDT. The rotenone dusts recommended 1 for cattle grub control can be used ifor lice control. Usually they are diluted for lice, to cover greater 'area and reduce the cost. For in stance, one pound of a cattle grub dust containing IVfe per cent rote- ■ none can be mixed with two pounds C f flour to make an effective louse killer. World's Largest Potato Tard Found in Chicago The world’s largest potato yard is located — not in Idaho, nor in Maine —but in the largest city near the geographical center of the nation— Chicago. In file Wood street yards of the CJhicago and Northwestern railroad, an average of 20,000 carloads of po tatoes are handled annually. Many thousands of tons of other vegeta bles also pass through this yard. The yard is the central m arket ing point for potatoes, which come in from virtually every state in the union. Dealers and brokers assem ble in the yard each day before dawn to buy, sell or reconsign an average of 36,000 bushels daily. The Wood street yard is a far cry from the wooden platform which served as a term inal years ago. Milk Testing Traced To Michigan Fanners By Louis Sellers Forfy years ago a few progressive dairy farm ers in Michigan organ- ized the first cow-testing association in the United States. They wanted to improve the profitableness of their herds. They Mred a tester to weigh P art of the increase in produc tion can be credited to progres sive Michigan dairy farm ers. and test the milk of each cow and to keep a record of her feed cost and income. They wanted that informa tion so they could cull the low pro ducers from their herds and feed the rest more economically. In the first four years of their pio neer effort, these Michigan farm ers doubled the average profit per cow. Since then thousands of other dairy farm ers have followed their exam ple with equally striking results. T X L O O K IN G T i A H E A D t e t f n GEORGE S. BENSON PralitHt-Mttiiiif CeUcge Sarcg. Atkansis European Check-Up How would you like to be able to take a five-weeks’ trip to Europe to see if what you’ve heard is true? Mr. E rnest T. Weir, chairm an of the National Steel Corporation of Pittsburgh, did just that. He made informal contacts with people of all sorts. Then he had opportunity to interview outstanding men of finance and industry in each coun try. Because of Mr. W eir's nationally recognized leadership, and because I consider him a far-seeing and capable observer. I want to give you some of h ^ conclusions. I p!e Must Work English businessmen he inter viewed think England must work out her own salvation. They said more U. S. dollars poured into Eng land would be harmful. Our $4 bil lion loan to them has been wasted, they told him, and has kept Eng land from facing problems square ly. “England’s greatest need is for better government, more hard work and greater production.” France, excepting war-torn areas, was in about the sam e physical shape as England. “The most seri ous condition in France is the black m arket in money,” he added. The black m arket offers twice as many francs for a dollar as the govern m ent allows officially. “The great problems of France are bad gov ernment, encouragement of the peo ple to believe they can live without working, and the consequent failure of the people generally to produce.” Follow Up the Money! Mr. Weir thinks the Germ an peo ple m ust have full liberty in the re construction of their country. He branded the Morgenthau plan, as applied in Germany, “one of the great crimes of history,” America should stop lending or giving money without proper planning and full in vestigation of the use of the money. At the sam e tim e, he believes Ger m any is a safe place to put funds for reconstruction, with proper plans. The individualism of the people in England, France, and the United . States m akes communism an un real danger. He believes the peo ple in these countries will never, for long, perm it “the iron heel on their necks.” It is his belief that a program financing foreign nations so they will not go communistic is without justification, “People who will stand for Communism will go in that direction irrespective of what we m ay do to the contrary.” Need for Leadership Europe is loafing on the job of genuine recovery, he believes. “The day they roll up their sleeves and go to work, recovery will begin.” Visitors find the English and French, supposedly starving, work ing only 40 hours a week. Mr. Weir asks: “Why don’t they adopt a six- day week, which would greatly in crease the production of all m ate rials?” There are enough resources and manpower. “Given the right kind of leadership and adequate incentives . .. the peoples of Europe would work harder and m ore pro- ductively.” Mr, Weir’s phrases “right kind of leadership” and “ adequate incen tives” suggest the key to this en tire puzzle of European difficulties. Take away the profit motive and people lack incentive to work. Then add tax oppression and all the de cay of leadership that Europe has had to put up with. The result is w rest and economic chaos. Grab bing the nearest “ism ” will not bring prosperity, nor freedom of any kind, for anyone. That is the way to shackles that bind men: hands, feet, and ideals. Gravity System Removes Moisture From Dairy Barn Among inquiries that Michigan State college agricultural engineer ing departm ent receives from farm ers, one of the m ost common deals with m oisture condensation in dairy barns. . A. J. Bell, agricultural engineer, says that air in a dairy barn is just about saturated with moisture. When this warm , m oist air comes in contact with a cold surface, such as an outside wall, the air cools and the moisture condenses. The answer to the problem lies in a good ventilation system and warm —rather than cold—walls. A m ature cow gives off in breath ing about eight and one-half quarts of w ater in 24 hours. A large herd of cows gives off a large amount of m oisture that m ust be removed by ventilation. A gravity system , de signed to fit the needs of the barn, works well. When a more elaborate system is desired, electric fans can be installed to draw out the mois ture-laden air. Fried Chicken G harlotte Observer. W ith the tem perature m oderat ing day bv day, the hrst spring chickens will be hatching, and the careful husbandm an who raises his own fryers will take particntar care th at they get their daily ration of m ilk, th a t they have enough exercise to keep them healthy, b n t not enough to m ake them tough, and th at they grow to the proper size tor frying in not m ore than ten weeks. Yes, we know you cdta buy fry ers at tbe store any tim e of the year, but in m any cases such pur chasing is a lottery, tor you may get a leghorn th at takes three or four m onths to grow to the proper size for frying, and by th at tim e be is so tough tb at you can’t tell w hether you have a chicken drum stick or a leg from the patriarch of the bullfrog pond. Vou need a fast.grow ing Ply m outh rock or one of the sim ilar breeds, m ilk fed aud tender, w ith plenty of m eat on his bones, to get really good fried chicken. T here are cooks and cooks and fried chicken and fried chicken. A species of m ayhem com m itted by too m any cooks Is to thronv the pieces into an open frying pan th at is too hot and leave them un til the outside is covered w ith a crust as bard as tanned leather and the Inside has lost all its juices and is so tasteless th at you m ight as well chew on the fibers of a hick ory stick. Such a cook should be sent to w ork in a dog food factory. B ut the cook who know s bow to preserve all the luscious tenderness of the youne fowl will have a deep iron skillet at a precise tempers), ture that can be determ ined only by a certain clairvoyance but never w ith scientific instrum ents. Into the deep fat are laid the pieces of chicken, gently and lovingly, and, when all are in place, tbe skillet is covered w ith a heavy lid to pro vide a D utch oven effect. W hen the m eat has cooked al m ost through, but before any crust has formed, the skillet is re m oved from tbe surface heat, and at this point the cook adds a clove of garlic and a dash of origa no. N ow , the use of garlic is an art in itself. It can be 'loaded into a dish until he who partakes of it is shunned like a le p e r' and m ust wash his olotbs and be unclean un til the even; or it can be used judi ciously to give the food just a su spicion arom a th at can be detected only by the gourm et but bv him is prized above incense and m vrrh. A nd origano is a seasoning far too rare in even the best-appointed kitchens. I t im parts a faint tang which, like a thread of gold, m ay he hardly discernible but is exceed I uglv rich. W hen these additions have been m ade, tbe skillet is again covered and put into a m oderate oven, w here tbe seasoning slow ly cooks into the m eat, only a flaky crust is form ed, and all the juices stay iu. A t the instant this stage of perfection is reached, the cook takes th e skillet out of the oven, removes the chicken, and adds enough flour and m ilk to m ake that inim itable gravy th at tb e gods of O lym ousnever tasted, else they would not have'bothered w ith a m- brosia. By this tim e the biscuits are done. T hen, when a table is graced w ith a platter heaped w ith legs and thighs,.breast aud wings, so ineffably done tb a t th e m eat falls away from the bones at a touch of tbe fork, witH the fluffy biscuits, w aiting to be SDread w ith ibe cream y gravy.w hen a fam ily is -al'ed to such a table the bead h e re o f can say w ith deep conse- r ration, “ G ive us grateful hearts, O F ather,” for earth has not any. tb in g 'to show m ore fair.

Road Improvement Essential T he S tate H ighw ay and Public W orks commission no doubt acted wisely iu setting aside this year’s highw ay surplus for im provem ent of county roads not included in the system of state highw ays. E xperience this w inter w ith dirt roads, closed schools, m aroon ed farm ers, and other difficulties show s once again that the people living off the m ain highw ays d e serve better treatm ent from those who spend highw ay tax m oney. Crushed stone surfacing of roads wili help greatly, b u t we hope th at the state will continue the policy of the past year by placing m ore perm anent type surface on the roads traveled m ost. T he m ain ar teries of travel in the secondary system should be hardsurfaced, so th at the job of getting tbe road passable will not have to/ be done over and over. L ast year the Parsonville roed, Clingm an road and som e sections in the eastern part of the county were improved. L et us hope tb at the state will contiune this type of woi k , as well as keeping tbe more rem ote sections of county roads passable.— W ilkes journal. The Dollar Drops T he value of th e dollar lies only In w hat it will buy. If w e say the 1939 dollar was w orth 100 cents, then it is m athem atical th at the 1948 dollar Is w orth only 60 cents, on the average. Com pared w itb the 1939 dollar, the 1948 dollar bill buys only 4 9 /4 cents w orth of food; 54 cents w orth of clothing; 92 cents w orth of rent and 9 9 cents w orth of public utility ser vices. H igher prices have been the avowed purpose of tbe N ew Deal since its beginning, and these, of course, mean the underm ining of the entire plan of social security; also of thrift, savings, and Insur ance.

FICTION C o t 1H e t CAREFULSLOW By JOHN SCOTT DOUGLAS T70U can’t make fast moves when * handling bees, so a beem an learns to be slow and careful no m at ter what happens. I rem embered that the day I stopped by OakknolI ranch and found a stranger sitting in the farmhouse kitchen and watch ing Em m y prepare a fat fryer. Now I’ve been in love with Emm y since she was 16. The 10 years that have passed since then have changed her so little that if I were buzzing around looking for something sweet, I’d still pick Emmy. The western sun slanting through the window made a halo of her fair hair and her face was flushed from the hot stove. She waved a floury hand as she popped a drumstick into the sput tering grease. “Hello, Bill,” she said. “I want you to m eet Fuller Launson. He’s bought the Hall place and is raising horses. Where’d you come from?” “ Sierra foothills,” I answered, “ I’m taking my bees down to Red lands to pollinate the Farland or chard.” “Bill has a pollinating service,” Emmy explained. “Arsenic sprays kill so many bees that orchardists pay him to bring his hives, so the trees will bear fruit.” “I see,” Launson said, the wisp of a black mustache over his thin lips barely moving. I couldn’t make up my mind whether he was one of those rob- ber-bees that steal honey from an other hive or whether he was a drone that lets the workers sup port him. He had black eyes and a waspish face. And there was con tem pt in the way be looked at my swollen hands that mighty near put me in a stinging mood. I can’t bother m th gloves when I’m hand ling beehives all the itme. I asked about his horses while Em my cooked supper, but he seemed to resent m y dropping in and wouldn’t say much. However he admitted that his old m an had plenty of money and thought that since Fuller Laun son wasn’t much good in his busi ness, he might as well try to raise horses. Now Emm y has a heart as big as a six-super hive and she’s always feel ing sorry for queer characters. She never talks much about herself, but she’s a good listener. Still, I couldn’t figure what she saw in Launson, ex cept that he had a college degree and she respects education. I could have told Launson other things about her. She’s been lonely since her folks died, however, so if she found him good company, that was all right with me. A beeman learns not to disturb the queen unless he has to. After supper I had to leave to get hives set up in the fields of the Red lands orchard before sun-up. Laun son showed no signs of Swarming, so I guessed he planned to visit a while longer with Emmy. But a beeman doesn’t jump to conclusions. As I say, he learns to be slow and care ful. It was two weeks before I got back to Oakknoll again. Launson sat in the same chair, as if he hadn’t moved in all that time. He didn’t seem real friendly, and acted bored when I asked about his horses. Weil, supper didn’t go so well that night. Emmy treated me as she al ways does, but Launson sulked as bees do on a rainy day when they can’t gather pollen. After supper, Launson said, “there’s a good movie in town. Like to go, Emily?” * She started shaking her head, but I spoke up. “You go right along. I’ve been driving nights and working days until I’m too wore out to be fit company for anyone. I’ll just catch a few winks on the sofa and push along about 11.” “Oh, Bill,” Eknmy said anxiously, “do you have to work so hard? You haven’t an ounce of flesh!” “No money’d keep m e driving this way,” I adm itted. “Now that the w ar’s over and we got to help feed the world, we need bigger fruit crops. weak chin would hurt m y swollen hands m uch. I decided not to try it. “Launson,” I said, ‘T m putting some hives out under the trees here. If you ain’t afraid of bees, I want you to give m e a hand.” When I cam e inside later to wash up, Em m y w as just putting the last steam ing dishes on the table. • Well, supper didn’t go so wen that night. Em m y treated me as she always does, but Launson sulked as bees do on a rainy day when they can’t gather pollen. But the spring pollinating is almost over and soon I can take it easier.” “Not here, I hope,” Launson said unpleasantly, when Eknmy went into the bedroom to get her hat. I knew then how bees feel when yon shake their hive on a cold day, but I was too tired to argue. I was asleep before they drove away and the alarm-clock awakened m e be fore they returned. It was nearly a month before I could get back. When I drove past the old Hall place, it looked like Launson hadn’t given his horses much care. He stepped out of the house after I’d stopped the truck, and'spoke as if he owned Oakknoll. “You back?” “Yep,” I said. “Just in tim e for supper.” “I didn’t know Emily was expect ing you,” he snapped. I wondered whether Launson’s “Where’s Mr. Launson?” sh, asked. “Last I saw of him ,” I said, tuck ing in m y napkin, “he was running toward his house with a veil of bees trailing behind him . He dropped a hive he was carrying, and instead of backing away slow and careful like, he began swatting bees. They kind of resented it." Em m y didn’t say anything for a minute. “I’m glad he’s gone,” she said, and smiled. “I’d have told him things before, but I get so lonely whep you’re away, Bill. What made him drop the hive?” “I guess something I said startled him. You see, he’d just advised me to move on, saying I’d never get any where with you, Em m y.” “The idea! What’d you say to that, Bill?” “Why, I told him he was crazy— that we’d been m arried 10 years.” YOU CAN’T BUN AWAY One of my younger friends, a man in whom I always have had con siderable confidence, did something last week that caused m y confidence to be shaken. I’ll tell you about it. When the pressure in a job he has held for two or three years became too great, he quit. “I am going to pull stakes and go to another town,” he told me. “I just Wouldn’t take it any more.” I say that m y confidence was shaken. What I mean is this, that whenever anyone tries to run away from a crisis, a situation, a condi tion or himself, he’s doomed to fail. Yet every day you see someone who is trying to run away from him self. Psychologists are very much interested in the roads which these runaways take, and one of their first considerations in evaluating a per sonality which is broken or unhappy is escape. You probably know that you live every day with a conflict raging in side yourself. Sometimes the con flict is subdued by a quiet sort of guerrilla w arfare of the mind. At other tim es it reaches the battle \ ! i' * (jince Wieeee// I FAITHI drink the water in my cup; r \ I breathe the air and trust that it is pure; ThebreadIbreakateveningasiaip I lake believing that the loaf is sure To be quite clean. At night I go to sleep And journey through a strange and darkened land, With confidence that God has power to keep His never-failing hold upon my hand. By faith I rise to meet my busy day Sure of the sun, I plant and hoe my Knowing that nin and light will way Across the earth, that my immediate need For food will be supplied. By fiuth I go Trusting In God and in my feUow-men, And if at times that silver fire burns low, It never tiils to lift and burn point. Only rarely is there total peace. When this conflict becomes too formidable, too threatening, you do the obvious thing—you try to run. That seems to be the thing to do, but often the escape is worse than the conflict—and m ore lives are damaged by these escape or fight mechanisms than by any one thing. Maybe you’d like to have m e tell you very briefly about the various escape routes that the mind follows when things get too hot. They are 13. First comes regres sion, which m eans to go backward, do childish things. Then comes ex troversion—that m eans to turn to excessive activity to cover up the conflict. The opposite of that is in troversion—to think excessively, to dodge real issues. Rationalization is to indulge in false thinking, while segregaton is not to let your right hand know what your left hand is doing. When you practice repression, you forget unpleasant things; and when you disassociate, you pass the buck. Sometimes you resort to conversion —that m eans to have a breakdown or illness in place of a conflict. Dis placem ent is to worry over one thing when another is to blame, and pro jection is to ,attribute your own faults to others. Another escape is called identifica tion; that means to form phantasies. When you follow compensation, You overdo some particular thing in order to overcome your inadequacies. The final escape route is the only one which is wholeheartedly recom mended. It is called sublimation— that m eans to turn the effect of the conflict into some useful channel. Soybeans Provide Protein To Offset High Food Cost High food costs m ake it difficult for the homemaker to know how she can get the most for her food dollar. Protein is one of the most essential protective elements in the human diet, say extension service nutritionists. Foods which contain protein— meats, eggs, milk, cheese—are high in cost, but they m ust not be left out of the diet. Cheaper cuts of m eats, m eat stretchers, egg dishes and cheese dishes will help supply the body’s need for protein. Other sources of protein are soybeans, dried beans and peas. These vege tables come nearest to m eat, eggs, milk and cheese as body builders. : They also contain Vitamin BI anrf iron. For home’m akers not fam iliar with the soybean, this information is of fered: “Soybeans contain protein ol high quality, sim ilar to animal pro tein. Theyman be used in place ol m eat in the diet. Soybeans are good sources of usable iron and other mineral, such as calcium, phos phorus, as well as an excellent source of vitamins of the B-com- Pjex-. EYesh, green soybeans are rich in vitamin A. They are high in fat, and sprouted soybeans are a useful source of Vitamin C.” Legumes Open Soil To Air and Water S y s te m o f R o ta tio n P r e v e n ts C o m p a c tto n Tight “ stuffy” soils are robbing many farm ers of high bushel-per- acre yields of com and sm all grains each year. Loams, silt loam s and clay loam s need large am ounts of organic m atter in the plow layer and deeper to keep them open and loose for high crop production. Heavy soils that are low in or ganic m atter and worked with heavy tractors and m achinery become TAPROOTED LE6UME9 LOOfiEN .

These compactions slow down the intake of w ater. They cut down the am ount of w ater and air the soil will hold for crop use. They keep the fibrous roots of com and sm all grain “upstairs” away from w ater and plant food held deeper in the soil. Tem porary relief can be had by using m achines that reach below the ordinary plow layer and break up the plow sole compactions. Real relief, however, comes only through regu lar use of deep-rooted legum es in the rotation. The driving tap roots of sweet clover and alfalfa force their way through the compactions and reach deep into the soil, thus opening it to air and w ater. The mineralized organic m atter they leave there im proves soil tilth and furnishes plant food for other crops. Channels of the tap roots are routes for w ater and air and fibrous roots to follow deep into the soil. Compaction-busting alfalfa and sweet clover need phosphate and pot ash if they are to do a good job. - Smash Sale Records AU records for Ayrshire auction sales in the U.

Fight Newcastle Disease A new advance In the efforts of veterinary science to meet the New castle disease threat to the nation's poultry industry has been made. Close on the heels of a promising new method of vaccination against the disease, other research workers have discovered a “highly reliable” method for diagnosing Newcastle disease in chickens by means of blood tests. The new method is based on the.„effect of Newcastle serum and virus on the agglutina tion of red blood cells. Newcastle disease causes a combination of nervous and respiratory symptoms. Many of these are characteristic of other poultry ailments. That is whjf diagnosis has been one of the great difficulties in coping with it.

MAS ARYK: D eath in Prague Whether Jan Masaryk, Czecho slovakia’s foreign minister, took his own life or was liquidated by the Communists really didn’t make any difference. The Communist government had announced that he had leaped to his death from a first, second or third-floor window (U. S. news papers readers could choose their own version) of the foreign office in Prague. Later reports by “highly authori tative persons” insisted that Mas aryk had been murdered by Com munists. An alleged “eyewitness” testified that he had seen Mas aryk’s body after its reported fall to a concrete pavement and that it bore no evidence that the fore ign minister had died in such a manner. Supporting the murder theory was the fact that M asaryk was re ported to have m et President Ed ouard Benes the day before his death, and the two were said to have planned something the Com munists wished to prevent. Unidentified Czech officials who have escaped from Prague re ported also that President Benes was a prisoner of the Communist regime. But whether Jan Masaryk, son of the founder of the Czechoslo vakian republic, had been mur dered or goaded to suicide by his intolerable position, one thing was certain: Communists had killed him just as surely as if they had put a pistol to his head and pulled the trigger. If M asaryk took his own life it was not just because he was seek ing an escape, but because it was the last service he could do for his country—throwing light, by his own destruction, on the terrible, destructive force t1::: jmmun- ism. NERVES: W arlike The alternate, o.... .. flex ing of muscles by the Uuited States and Russia was, it appeared, shift ing in status from a cold war to a war of nerves. There were the unmistakable signs of the military preparing Io reassert itself. Many reserve of ficers had received letters point ing out that, although they were not being called to active duty immediately, they would do well to prepare them selves. for such a possible eventuality. In the Pentagon building in Washington army planners were working late at their desks. Pro curement officers were reported to be showing great interest in ce ment factories, since cement is vital in building underground shel ters and fortifications. Russian troops were said to be massing in eastern Germany, but no one would venture to say whether this was pure bluff, a threat of retaliation to the Mar shall plan and union of western Europe, or a show of force in tended to influence the coming elections in Italy. But President Truman himself pre cipitated the worst outbreak of war jitters when he publicly pro claimed that his faith in the at tainment of real world peace had been shaken, although he still be lieves real peace is possible. In this crisis the U. S. govern ment was stressing these points which embodied administration policy for meeting the situation: ■I The European recovery plan should be carried out promptly. o The U. S. encourages forma- "* tion of what Marshall called a political association in western Eu rope as the first step toward re storing stability. O Spread of Communist govern- ments anywhere in the world, including China is opposed by the American government which will do everything in its power to block communism. A The U. S. will continue to work for world peace wher ever possible. Finally, any estim ate of the sit uation must include this inesca pable conclusion: Neither Russia nor the U , S. wants war now; and, more important, neither could af ford to fight one. This particular decade continues to be a period worked by a shifting of forces and consolidation of strength where it will do the most good if and when the real showdown copies. The Way Out Added to the list of the world's numberless m artyrs for liberty was the name of Jan Masaryk, foreign minister of Czechoslo vakia, son of Thomas Masaryk who was the first president and liberator of the country. STRIKES: M iners Widespread strikes in the na tion’s soft coal fields were touched off by John L. Lewis’ latest foray into the national scene, a demand for $100-a-month pensions for his miners. The United Mine Workers leader had asked rank-and-file “reaction” to his charge that coal operators had “dishonored” the 1947 contract by failing to grant pensions. And his miners produced the exact re action he wanted as almost 200,000 of them in U states quit to •sup port Lewis’ stand at the very out set of the difficulties. It was not a strike in the techni cal sense of the word. Lewis, m all his power, simply had nodded his shaggy head and his men, quick to catch the signal, walked away from their jobs. The current mine contract does not expire until June 30, but it provides that the miners need work only as long as they are “will ing and able.” Im pact of the soft coal walkouts showed first in the nation’s steel industry where output is threat ened* if the shutdowns continue for any length of time. Many of the closed mines are “captives” whose entire output goes to the steel companies. Packers Fraught with an even greater immediacy than the mine walk outs, however, was a nationwide strike for more pay by 100,000 members of the CIO packing house workers. The strike went off as sched uled despite an urgent request by President Truman asking the pack ing companies and workers’ rep resentatives to maintain the status quo without interrupting negotia tions until April I, at . which time a board of inquiry was slated to re port to him on conditions of the strike. In reply to the President, the un ion strike board rejected his pro posal because, it said, the pack ing firms would not agree to plac ing even their wage proposals in to effect during the negotiation. As the strike began, govern ment records indicated that the en tire nation would come to feel the curtailed m eat supply after the first week, with some- areas more severely affected than others. GOVERNMENT: E xpensive Total per capita cost of running the federal government for one year has zoomed $201 since 1939, acording to a report by the Tax Foundation. It now is about $270 a year, compared with $69 in 1939. War, of course, was mainly re sponsible for the increase. Total estimated expenditures for the fiscal year 1948 are 37.7 bil lion dollars. War and its after- math accounted for almost 23 bil lion of that. But the blueprint for 1949, said the foundation, registers an in crease. It quoted President Tru man: “In the fiscal year of 1949, 79 per cent of our expenditures reflect the costs of war, the effect of war and our efforts to prevent a future war.” SH lFTim WORLD Nobody Worries About Tissick' Now City dwellers of 300 years ago— the inhabitants .of London in the year ■ 1648, for" instance—were only half as likely to be killed in ac cidents as are the metropolites of today. But they were several times as likely to die from tuberculosis or other diseases with such fearful names as spotted fever, purples, rising of the lights, plague in the guts, tissick, imposthume a n d others, says a study of early and present - day mortality by North western National Life Insurance company. • The king’s horsemen were the fastest traffic to contend with in 1648. The automobile was still 250 'years in the future. Moguls Probe Candidates I T HAS NOW BEEN nearly four years sinpe Democratic party moguls m et at a secret White House dinner and persuaded Franklin Roosevelt to accept Senator Tru man of Missouri as vice president. They knew then, of course, that the chances of FDR’s living through the next four years were slim. Present at that dinner were Ed Flynn of the Bronx, Mayor Ed Kelly of Chicago, Mayor Hague of Jersey City and Bob Hannegan. Recently almost the sam e Democratic moguls convened at the White House. And despite the announcement that Tru man is a candidate, they still hope they can deftly dislodge from office the man they put in. They know in advance that this would not be easy—for two reasons: I. The em barrassm ent of breaking the news to Mr. Truman. 2. Find ing another candidate who can win. Two years ago this wonld have been easy. At that time, Truman himself was saying he did not want to be president. But no m an likes' to .retreat under fire, and Mr. Trum an’s ideas on this are well illustrated by the staunch support given such friends as Ed Pauley and Brig. Gen. Wallace Graham when they were under fire for speculating. The party moguls promised each other privately that they would be hard-boiled and tell the President the truth—namely that the chance of victory with him at the head of the ticket is nil. Finding a candidate to take Mr. Truman’s place will not be easy. Chief Justice Fred Vinson of Ken tucky would be acceptable to the South but wouldn’t arouse too much enthusiasm in the North. Supreme. Court Justice William O. Douglas is a great administrator and would have the advantage of probably per suading Henry Wallace to withdraw, Henry Kaiser would be popular in the West with labor and with small businessmen. It takes time to build up any can didate.* * • Religion W hips Commies HARASSED SECRETARY OF STATE MARSHALL has confided to friends that he is more worried than ever about the approaching elec tions in Italy. He fears a combina tion of the Yugoslavs and Italian Communists may try to take over. Meanwhile, Francesca Lodge, -wife of the G.O.P. congressman from Connecticut, herself born in Italy, has received an interesting letter from an old friend indicating that the religious tem per of the Italian people will win out over communism. “Life here seems to have come to a standstill,” Mrs. Lodge was in formed. “Everything is paralyzed waiting for the result of the elec tions. “A new wave of religious fervor seems to have come' over most people. There are all sort of mani festations In the way of the Ma donna appearing in several places. At Assisi the great statne on the top of Santa M aria Degli Angeli— the romantic little church where the pilgrims used to m eet coming back from the Holy Land, and where Saint Francis lived and where the rose plants have blood stains on the leaves—well, this big statue for days now has been the center of thousands of visits from peupie from all over Italy.”* * * M arshall’s Aid Plan IT IS NOW NEARING ONE YEAR since General Marshall proposed what is now known as the Marshall Plan For Aid To Europe. When the plan was first proposed congress said it was too busy with routing appropriation bills and short ly thereafter adjourned for the sum mer. Last fall, as the European situa tion got bad again and speedy ac tion on the Marshall plan was urged, congress squawked about going back to work. Too many of its members were away on trips, congressmen complained. Finally when congress was con vened there elapsed weeks and weeks of hearings, debate, argu m ent and secret G.O.F. meetings at the home of Kansas isolationist Senator Reed—all at a leisurely pace as if the world were per fectly normal and there wasn’t the slightest need to hurry. Meanwhile Russia has gobbled Czechoslovakia, tightened its hold on Finland and is preparing for an early strike at Italy. After that, France. Some Republicans — notably • Ma lone of Nevada, Ecton of Montana and Wherry of Nebraska—are too dumb to know what the world situa tion is all about. But other G.O.P. obstructionists—among them Know- Iand of California and Ball of Min nesota—are sm art enough to realize that a few millions of dollars spent now can save thousands of lives later. So far, however, they haven’t. The debate in congress boils down to the fact that either the M arshall plan is worth voting or it isn’t. If it’s to be dragged out until after Russia swallows Europe then it might as well be kissed off right now, Congress should make up its mind—and fast! W a s h in g t o n D i9 e s u S c ie n c e T a le n t Q u e s t S h o w s A id T o P ro g ress By BAUKHAGE , News Analyst and CommenttUor WASHINGTON—I don’t often go into such intimate matters as private murders in these columns, but I have been impressed lately to see the results of the untrammelled spirit of modem youth, whose repressions and inhibitions have been removed by thoughtful parents who use reason instead of the cruel discipline such as I have suffered —having to go to bed without supper, for instance, when I was im pudent to my elders, or being kept in the house for throwing my arithmetic at the cat instead'of doing my homework, or having my mouth washed out with acme soap when I used language unbecoming a future commentator. ‘ Recently a pretty little brunette who was irked by having to leave the city to dwell with her parents in some dull rural area of Missouri re belled. After shooting Mama and Papa, she stuffed them behind the sofa and tried to dispose of their property. Then there was the poor Uttle seventh-grader who sm arted under thoughtless taunting by a far m er who thought the youth displayed poor form in sawing wood. The boy shot the old m an and dumped him in a creek. There was the 18-year-old girl from Portsmouth, Va., who playfully sprayed five G.I.’s with revolver shots in a shooting gallery, and the six girls, aged 14 to 16, who beat up their female gym instructor in a Bronx high school. - Of course I am not old-fashioned enough to encourage corporal punish ment, but it does seem that a little less sparing of the rod might have prevented spoiling the crime record of the peaceful communities from which these youngsters came. Perhaps it wouldn’t have helped, though, when the nations of the world set such bad examples. I couldn’t help thinking of a para graph in the concluding chapter of that highly important and revealing book by form er Secretary of State Cordell Hull. Said Hull (and I can see him leaning back as he dictated, looking over the wide sweep of the Maryland landscape, letting his thoughts go back over the rich days of his years): “We have a desperate need for more religion and morality as the background for government. The religious and moral foundations for thought and conduct require strengthening here as well as throughout the world. There is no higher civilizing influence than re ligious and moral concepts. Corrup tion and tyranny can be driven out of government only when these con cepts give men the faculty to rec ognize such evils and the strength to eliminate them.” \ In these' days when we hear so many unpleasant references to the atom bomb, it was a. relief to the national capital to get its annual rem inder that the people who know most about atomic energy think far more about how it can promote human welfare than about how it can extinguish human life. Sixteen thousand high-schoolers presented themselves this year as possible winners in the seventh an nual Westinghouse science talent search. After rigorous elimination- tests, 40 finalists were selected to come to Washington for talks with scientists, visits to Capitol Hill and the White House and conversations with their colleagues. These 40 students have a reason able assurance of scholarships of $1,000 each from various sources, aside from the search awards, while the two lucky top winners each are given $2,400 with which to continue their studies. There was another interesting thing about this year’s awards—the revelation that America still is draw ing heavily on the Old World for its scientific talent. Thetboy who won the top prize was born in Budapest. Andrew Kende displays his ex periments with new solvents to re duce explosion hazards. He is Andrew Kende, a 15-year-old chemist, a handsome youngster, five feet eight inches tall. Of the 40 final ists, five -vere born in Europe, and 26 parents of the 40 finalists were foreign-born. The girl winner was 17-year-old Barbara Claire Wolff of Flushing, L. I., (where the United'Nations has its headquarters' although there is no connection). All the contestants m ust have’worked on a special sci entific project, and Miss Wolff de voted her time to production of phenocopies. Now, if you raise fruit, you will be intereste 4_in this, al though you probably wouldn’t recog- nze a phenocopy if you met it on one of your strolls through your orchard. A phenocopy is a change—a change in m e body-shape of a fruil fly. The fly itself will not be per m itted to get at your fruit. Its egg s have been dyed and irradiated, ob servation of which processes in the long run probably will help the fruit industry. When Miss Wolff isn’t dy ing eggs—and irradiating them—she B arbara Claire Wolff, who plans to become a geneticist, is shown with the equipment she uses to produce phenocopies. is editing her school paper, playing badminton, studying, and, we sup pose, practicing the modem dance and enjoying her clubs, which in clude math, cancer and microscopy organizations. Young Kende’s project has to do with removing or reducing explosion hazards in the chemical processes by which such modern synthetics as the silicones, sex hormones and some synthetic rubbers are produced com mercially. Some day, thanks to him, men and women may be able to face the most alluring hormone or the most explosive overshoe or automo bile tire in comparative safety, and m ay even be able to w alk.right up to a silicone and slap it on the back. The 40 finalists were reminded by Watson Davis, Science Service di rector; Harlow Shapley, director of H arvard college observatory, and W. W. Waymack, atomic energy com missioner, that it is not enough these days, however, for scientists to stick to their scientific last, letting the rest of the world go by. As Dr. Shapley put it: “Don’t be so laborious in your labora tories that yon ignore your respon sibilities as citizens.” And as Way mack warned: “Nowadays the sci entists must not only aid in the creation of knowledge, but in the dissemination ' and use of that knowledge for The general wel fare.” Unfortunately, there are all too few trained scientists in this atomic age. As the report of the President’s scientific research board pointed out, the technological and scientific prog ress of this country depends upon one-half of I. per cent of <5ur popula tion-som e 750,000 persons. This small group comprises the trained manpower—the scientists, techni cians and engineers upon which the operation and the expansion of our economy depends. :ind those actual ly engaged in scientific research, technical development or teaching comprise a much sm aller group within this pool—only 137,000 persons. The science talent search and sim ilar projects undertaking to discover and encourage youthful scientific talents are helping to ensure the fu ture security and prosperity of the United States which depend as never before on the rapid extension of scientific knowledge—not only be cause the laboratory is the first line of defense in wartime and the sci entist is the indispensable warrior, but also because scientific discovery is the basis for our progress against poverty and disease. * * * Ex-G.I.’s can upset the budget again this year. In its attem pt to trim Mr. Truman’s spending, con gress makes no allowance for near ly 500 million dollars still unclaimed in terminal leave pay due enlisted men. The President’s bulging bud get set aside only five million dollars for this item, just I per cent of the total possible cost. * • • In contrast to the usual Hollywood practice, the government’s film pro duction includes none of the usual “thrillers.” Latest 25-minute short subject made by.

Some of the people who say they would rather be right than president don’t get the chance they deserve " ostwar Synthetic Rubber Retains Air Longer Period Natural rubber has been regarded by most motorists as being far superior to synthetic rubber. How ever, the synthetic product which now is being produced offers cer tain marked advantages over its oredecessor. Butyl rubber holds air far better than anything else. Three or four ’reflations a year are sufficient to maintain the even pressure so iecessary to get out of tires the raximum of life and service. During the war, butyl was with- ield from civilians. Now, inner ubes are made of butyl synthetic •ubber. Butyl rubber is made at .emperatures far below zero and !Oils at sub-zero cold. Postwar improvement in syn- hetic rubber also extends to color. Up to this time, inner tubes came In a dull gray, black, or a hot .vater-bottle red. No other colors vere available. There was a reason for this. Color :n rubber goes back many years to a discovery that antimony sulfide was superior for making good rub ber. It happened that antimony sulfide gave rubber a rich, red hue. Until recently, synthetic rubber iailed to take any color well. The reason was that the chemicals needed to keep oxygen from de teriorating the synthetic were so powerful they discolored anything except Mack. Then preservatives, called age re sistors, were developed that did not discolor rubber, but they smelled. Usually the odor was carbolic or medicinal. Lately a resistor was found that does not smell. Now synthetic rubber can be given any color desired, and the color will last. Patrick Henry's Old Home To Become National Skrine For a long time the home where Patrick Henry lived and is buried was forgotten. Now it has become an American shrine. The Henry home—Red Hill, in Charlotte county, Virginia—which was burned in 1919, is to be re stored as it was in Patrick Henry's time, and furnished with Uie fur niture and decorations that Patrick Henry had. This great patriot won his first tim e by demanding for colonial Vir ginians the rights of Englishmen. He won his greatest fame by de manding for all Americans complete freedom forever from England. Although a slave-holder, Patrick Henry considered slave-holding an economic curse as well as a social evil. He was a lawyer by profes sion, and also a very successful politician. By 1775 war was imminent On March 23 Patrick Henry offered a resolution to organize the Virginia militia and put the .colony in a state of defense. In supporting it he made his most famous speech, which closes with the declamation: 44Give me liberty or give me death!" Pullorum clean N. H. Red, Barred Cross and Sex-Link Cockerels $6.00 per 100.

Soap Favorite Dish For Every Weather; Here’s How It's Done Soup is an easy way to have lunch quickly for youngsters who cbme home to eat. Soup may be made ahead of time, reheated and served easily with sandwiches or salad for a well-balanced lunch. Soup m aking is one of the oldest of cooking arts known to the home maker, and though we do not serve it as often as did our ancestors, a steaming, fragrant bowl of soup on a brisk, cool day has lost none of its charm. We like soup for many reasons. First of all, there’s its delicious aroma and its good, filling quality. If you serve good hearty soup, you need little with it, perhaps ju st a salad and light dessert. Soups are especially noted for iourishm ent. Meats and vegetables they have plen tifully; atid if it’s a cream soup you are serving, well, th at’s an easy way to get milk and cream into the diet. Soup is a good filler-upper if you feed a hungry crowd of men who work out-of-doors all day long. It’s also a good stim ulant for the appe tite, if well seasoned and full of rich deliciousness. Soups made with quantities of milk are especially fine to serve for luncheon ft you have children. They’re easy to make and you don’t have to worry if the youngsters are a little late in getting home because soup is easy to keep hot, and will not spoil with a bit of extra cooking. CREAM OF CORN SOUP (Serves 6) 1 quart of milk 1 No. 2 size can of cream style corn Yz cup chopped onion V/2 teaspoons salt 1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 tablespoons cold water Y2 teaspoon paprika Yi teaspoon pepper Combine milk, com , onion and salt Cook in a double boiler for 30 minutes.

CREAM OF PEA SOUP (Serves 6)' 2 cups canned peas Yz cup finely chopped onion 2 tablespoons fat 2 tablespoons flour 2 cups rich milk V/2 teaspoons salt Yi teaspoon pepper LYNN SAYS: How to Serve Soup: If you are serving a thin soup, the proper dish is a two-handled cup of some so rt Thia is used because it is quite correct for people to lift them up and drink the soup. H earty soups such as chowders are served in soup plates, bowls, orm arm ites. N ever serve a chow der as a first course because it is much too heavy a soup for this type of eating. Cream soups m ay be correctly served as a first course, as our thin soup, but do not m ake the servings too generous or the re mainder of the dinner will go begging. If the soup is to be served hot, it m ust be piping hot. Make sure the family is ready to come to din ner before dishing it out. Chilled soups are good on warm nights, and m ay be served in the two - handled dishes suggested above. Accompaniments f o r soup should be small and dainty, at tractively served on small plates With doilies.

Homemakers who have large fam ilies to feed will do well to make a large pot full of rich, delicious soup stock. This can be done on an after* noon when you’re ironing or mending, so th a t you can look a t the pot occasion ally to see th at it is kept simmering slowly for several hours. Then the stock can be served with dumplings, vegetables, noodles and rice, a differ* ent way for several days.

Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 hours. Add the vegetables and cook V/2 hours more. Vtlien cold, remove layer of fa t th a t form s on top. In m aking m eat and vegetable soups it is very im portant not to add w ater once the soup starts simmer ing. This thins the m ixture out too much and prevents the soup from attaining a full-bodied flavor. Soups such as chowders may be served a t the table from a tureen. A salad and dessert complete the meal and give hearty nourishment even though members of the family may be engaged in heavy work. Fish chowders are hearty enough to serve with just a salad, preferably fruit, and a light dessert. Here is one made with cod th at is truly delicious: FORTY-FATHOM CHOWDER (Serves 6-8) 2-3 pounds fillet of cod, frozen % cup diced fat salt pork % cup sliced onions 2 cups hot w ater 2 cups sliced potatoes 2Yz teaspoons salt Dash of pepper 1 cup evaporated milk 3 cups fresh milk . Cut fillets of fish crosswise in 2- inch strips. F ry out salt pork in kettle until crisp and delicately browned. Add onions and saute slowly. Add w ater and potatoes and cook 5 minutes, or until potatoes are partially done. Then add fish and cook until it can be separated into large flakes with a fork. Add remaining ingredients; reheat and serve.Released by Weatem Newspaper Union ■----------THE MT I |j|] lf l^ r ^ n i« T a 1(on4l Unllorra TBfll IJjJJlBH Sunday School U sw nt R il B> LOUIE D NEWTON. D. P SCRIPTURE: Ezeldel 18; 34; 36:22-38; 37*1*14DEVOTIONAL READING: Ezektel 34: 25*31. His Message to Exiles Lesson for April 11, 1948 D r. Newton HONTINUING the them e of last Sunday’s lesson, we go further into the m inistry of Ezekiel as God’s m essenger to a people in exile. For th is S u n d ay we* have chapters 18 and 34, and por tions of the 36th and 37th chapters. The 18th chapter opens with a re vealing rebuke to Ezekiel. God tells him expressly that he is not to say any m ore to the Jew s that “ the fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge. As I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall not have occasion any m ore to use this proverb in Isreal. Behold, all souls are m ine.” And then God adds, “The soul that sinneth, it shall die.”* • » GOD’S LOVE AND CARE A LL through these chapters in ^ Sunday’s lesson, two solemn truths appear—God’s love for his people, m anifest in unwearied care; and the responsibility of each soul for the sin which such comm its against God. This truth, or these truths, I should say, are equally applicable for ns today. As Ezekiel w as sent to rem ind Uie people of God’s love and care, so m ust we, early in our youth, accept the responsibil ity of accepting his love or re jecting his love. We cannot claim his care if we despise his will. That is the m essage of Ezekiel for us.* * * WHAT GOD IS LIKE ■\JOW HERE in the Old Testa- ’ m ent is the love of God more m anifest and compelling than in Ezeldel 34:11-27. I hope that you will open your Bible to this passage. H ere the Bible speaks in words that burn with the com passionate love of God for sinful souls. “I will both search m y sheep, and seek them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out m y sheep, and I will deliver them out of all places w here they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day . . . And I will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers.” One is rem inded here of Jesus, when he said, “For the Son of m an is come to seek and to save that which w as lost.”* * * A NEW HEART ** A ■ new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you,” Ezekiel 36:26. Here we have, perhaps, the sub- lim est sentence in the prophecy of Ezekiel. . God is speaking. Ezekiel is m erely the m essenger — the voice, as John the Baptist delighted to de scribe himself. Ezekiel has faithfully declared that each individual is responsible unto God, and just as faithfully he has proclaim ed God’s love and care, and now he adds the third great truth, nam ely, that God waits to bestow the new 'heart and the new spirit to every repentant soul. A new heart and a new spirit. That is w hat the Jew s needed. That is w hat the world needs today—a new heart and a new spirit. QlQy God could give a new heart then, and only God can m ake such gift today. • * • EZEKIEL’S MESSAGE FOR VS T I T OULD we listen to Ezefkiel to- day? He has the m essage we need above all other words that m ay be spoken. He called the Jew s to repentance of sin. That is what Am erica needs today. Boys and girls need it. Men and women need it. And just as God w aited patiently to bestow the new heart and spirit to Israel in the long ago, so does he wait to grant us today a new heart and a new spirit. "Our God, our help, in ages past. Our Hope for years to come;Our shelter from the stormy blast,And our eternal home!’* • » (Copyright by the Jnternational Cmoeit et Religious EdueMtion on behalf o/ 49 ProtestMot denominations, Reiessei by WNB Festures.)

C., APRIL 7. >048 LOOKING A K K A D by OEORCE S. BENSON President—Mardtitg CctUge Searcy. Jtrkansat What’s the Secret? : W hat m akes American living the best living known? W hat 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, climate, or the other factors usually 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 win find in the almanacs. Looking further and with a UttIe more discrimination, you wiU find that Arrferica does much, much, more with what it does have. Wfiiat I mean is that America produces. The figures wiU teU you that our “industrial and agricultural output” is great. This does not mean 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 IVorks Then where’s the difference’ W hat’s the secret? It is the system that m akes the difference. Our high standard of Uving, 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 meet 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 rewards of their inventiveness and their enterprise. You see, the feUow who invents a Ught bulb or a self starter is not the only one to profit. The feUow who uses them profits most. Trial and Error 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 more 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 airUnes will lose seven milHon 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. tifo-fam ijay Dog Tags for Children 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.

Dear Dad: This little farm tractor is friction- driven and has plenty of power. The Supermite motor is operated by one No. 935 Eveready flashlight cell which fits snugly under the hood* Front wheels may be purchased at any model store. These wheels, a few bits of balsa and a tube of model airplane cement (also obtainable at your local model supply store) are the only items you will have to buv for the construction. Start by making the body This is composed of a base piece and four bits of Vt ’ balsa Cut all pieces to dimensions given and assemble with Dins and cement. Now make a battery clip ol springy tin or light brass Nail and glue it to the back of the front piece taking care to place it so that it bears on the exact center of the No. 935 Eveready cell. This clip serves as one terminal point For the other termi nal, press a large paper clip through the back piece of the hood, also taking care to center it with the battery nipple. The paper clip should project about %" beyond the back piece. Bend the prongs out slightly so that when the switch lever is mounted in Its slot the switch blade will engage Bie split prongs as the switch is Moved forward. Fasten the motor to piece "A” w ith 3 small screws and then hook Bp motor to the front battery clip and to the switch lever. Hook-up should be made so that the motor revolves in a counter clockwise di rection. The direction can be con trolled by reversing the leads to the motor. Connections completed, slip the battery in place and try out the mo tor. Now remove the battery and get busy on the rear (drive) wheels assembly A glance at the drawings will show that the rear wheels are mounted on tin hangers. These hangers are pivoted to the back piece and are pulled back by small rubber binders each side of the frame. Just enough tension is needed and no more than is sufficient to hold the right hand drive wheel gently but firmly against the rubber pencii-tip motor dfive wheel. In order for this drive gear to function smoothly, both rear wheels and motor drive wheel must be care fully centered on their respective shafts. The rear wheels are easily centered by using a compass to lay out the balsa reinforcing discs to the exact inside diametei of the cardboard box tops which form the wheels. The rubber-tip drive wheel is somewhat harder to center on the motor shaft but it can be done prop erly, if care is used Sincerely yours. 2> O tU f R o lfr9 Uncle Sam Says NEW LOOK 4m SECURIT)' UNCLE S k IMSfalSR Regardless of whether you ap prove the new look in fashion, ev ery one of my nieces and nephews certainly is in the style with the new look in security.

Treasury Department Nurse Training Started >.. 1869, a report read to Ameri can Medical association by Dr. Samuel Gross represented a change in current thinking which since has become universally accepted. The report stated that nursing was as much of an art and science as med icine, and urged that "training schools” for nurses be established in connection with hospitals in all sections of the country. First full course in nursing in this country under the aegis of a university was given in 1909, when University of Minnesota began such a program. WeaKh From tbe Sea The relentless search of scientists for more efficient utilization of America’s natural resources has re sulted in the sea becoming more and more productive for industry. While fish still comprise the great est value of the sea’s products, there are many other _ products taken from the ocean waters. At least 32 comniercial commodities are being made from fish, including auto lacquers, gelatine, jewelry. Ieatiter softeners, printing ink, lu bricating oil. These are just a few of the various products which are be ing m ade or improved by the rapid ly advancing science of fish chem istry. Cancer of Hard Metals Just as cancer originating in the body cells is one of the principal causes of human death, the break ing up of the basic crystals or “cells” of hard m etals accounts for m ore failures in modem engineer ing practices than any other single factor, according to SKF m etallur gists. Steel, like all m etals, is crys talline. In the carefully heat-treated parts fit bearings, these crystals are exceedingly sm all, but they are still crystals. The cohesive forces which hold m aterial together are stronger toward the interior of such crystals than they are across the areas where one crystal m eets another. Since the crystals are irregularly shaped, it seem s for instance, reasonable to conceive points in steel where two, three or more crystals m eet and where the cohesive forces, there fore, would be particularly weak and subject to cracking or breaking under prolonged strains. AU T ear Milk Source Supplies of evaporated milk in grocery stores again are ample after being curtailed during war years. From 1920 to 1940 use of evaporated milk increased 204 per cent. Now one out of every four cans of food going into the family m arket basket is a can of evaporated milk. Evapo rated milk is concentrated to half its original volume by evaporation of part of the w ater naturally pres ent, then homogenized to distribute the butterfat evenly through the milk and heat sterilized in a sealed can to keep the milk safe and sweet. Typical too of the industry's re search is the fortification of evapo rated milk with vitam in D. The sealed can not only gets evaporated milk to the consumer safely but also keeps it safe in the refrigerator after the container is opened. a Historic Fifeshire Boom Development of Fifeshire as Scot land’s coal-mining center-accents a region prominent in history from the days of King Malcolm Canmore to the birth of Andrew Carnegie. The shire has coal resources esti m ated in excess of five billion tons. The fields lie north of the Firth of Forth, across from Edinburgh. Car negie’s native town is Dunfermline, at the edge of the coal fields. Rail connections from the coast, three miles distant, carry the products of Dunfermline’s iron and brass foundries. Carnegie endowed the town, provided a Ubrary and public baths, and presented historic Pit- tencrieff Glen for a public park. , T h e D a v i e R e c o r d H as Been Published Since 1 8 9 9 4 8 Y e a r s Others have come and gone-your county newspaper keeps going.

Simple Instruction* BsscS on Soience You may not have a degree as an engineer, Mrs. Housewife, but when you’re home canning you’re using scientific principles just as surely as a mining, chemical, electrical or other engineer. That is, if you fol low glass jar m anufacturers instruc tions, for they are based upon scien tific discoveries made over a period of s 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 1798 by the French gov ernment. Napoleon, like Frederick the GreaL believed an army travels on its stomach, and the folks at home got hungry and discontented too! Nicolas won the prize, after 15 years' work, but his methods and equipment have been . greatly im proved upon. He labored under many handicaps, not knowing a tempera ture beyond boiling is required for processing some foods and having to design his own glass jars. Not until 1860 did Louis Pasteur estab lish the fact that microorganisms are responsible for food spoilage. Four teen years later, an American, A. K. Shriver of Baltimore, invented the “retort” or “pressure” cooker. In 1858 John Mason patented the Mason jar with neck designed for receiving a screw type cap. The Mason jar with porcelain-lined zinc cap is an old reliable. Mason would probably be astounded by the 1947 cap for sealing the Mason jar. This new style cap is a two-piece metal affair with a Dome lid which has sealing compound on the under side and is tested for seal by pressing on the center of the lid with the finger. Sealing with the Dome lid is made doubly sure by the new type metal band which bears down on the lid at three pressure points. Also reliable in seal is the light ning type jar with rubber ring, glass lid and wire bail. Many scientific experiments and jar improvements have perfected pro cesses for today’s home canning and it is upoii 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.

Com m unism is an enem y to all phases and types of religion, and especially th e C hrist ian religion, and to dem ocracy, and would iike to own the w ealth of the w orld, in all probability. She w ould like to break down the m orality and spirituality of all nations, and th a t would give her the privilege, as nothing else could of ruling the world. T o w hat ex tent she is going to succeed re m ains to be seen. H ow ever, w e realize th at the nation w hose leader and protector is G od can’t be overpowered aud defeated as long as she serves, worships and obeys G od. O ur greatest danger now is wickedness as a nation. W hen m oral and spiritual strength of a nation is gone, then the power to w ithstand and overpower other nations th at m ay m ake w ar against her is gone. M an w ithout G od is a m iserable failure, or will be, and the sam e is tru e of a nation. T he greatest need of the U nited States today is a m ighty revival of old tim e, “ m ourner’s bench’’ H oly G host religion. In fact I believe if we w ere as godly, prayerful and holy as we should be th at Russia, and all nations com bined, a s for that m atter, could not do anything w ith us.

Opportunity Knocks w e a p I h o s m Sword Swallowers Dance Ranks High In Zuni Magic Probably one of the strangest of the winter Indian ceremonials is the Dance of the Sword Swallowers, held each winter at the ancient Zuiii Pueblo in the western part of New Mexico, south of Gallup. Few white m en have ever- seen the ritual, which ranks high among examples of Indian magic. The dance is a supplication to appease the rain gods so that they will al low winter snows to nurture their lands for spring planting. The Zunis ages ago found that sum m er rains were not enough to assure bounteous crops, so they rea soned they m ust further please the gods to bring Jieavy snowfalls for additional moisture. The Dance of the Sword Swallow ers and the accompanying cere monies take several days, and it is reported that double edged, sharp pointed, 18 inch swords are used in the ritual. Accompanying each dancer is an attendant, and if the sword swal lower fails to make the sword reach the pit of his stomach, the attend ant reportedly pushes it down the swallower’s throat. The sword then m ust be withdrawn and swallowed again, A long and intricate ceremonial, the Dance of the Sword Swallowers ranks with the Shalako ceremony as one of the most spectacular of the festivals held at Zuni Pueblo, where Coronado began his conquest of New Mexico in 1540. Commodity Prices Show Marked Upward Swing Upsurges in wholesale commodity prices m ay delay hopes of a tapering off in the present upward movement Of prices, according to Northern Trust company, Chicago. Between June and mid-November of 1947, wholesale commodity prices advanced 7.5 per cent, or at an an nual rate of 18 per cent. This ad vance is in contrast to a general leveling off in price trends during the early spring and displays a range varying from 15 per cent for hides and leather and 14 per cent for fuel and lighting to only 2 per cent for house furnishings. Four factors may be cited as be ing prim arily responsible for the re cent rise in prices; First, the very large increase in coal m iners’ wages, forcing a 15 to 20 per cent rise in bituminous coal prices and a consequent rise in steel prices; sec ond, the advance in freight rates. The two other factors are: The en larged agricultural* export program, coming at a rime when supply is unbalanced as between bread and feed grains, and when the crop out look for next year is less favorable; and a growing conviction on the part of m any people that high prices are here to stay indefinitely, and that little or nothing can be gained Iqr deferring expenditures in the hope of lower prices. Disease Carried by Water There are only three diseases common to this part of the world that are known to be caused by drinking unsafe water. These are typhoid fever, dysentery and diar rhea, according to the Illinois de partm ent of health. Public health workers have m ade progress in eradicating- typhoid fever, but this water-borne disease long has played havoc with mankind. Numbered among its victims are emperors, presidents and generals. Today water-borne typhoid is preventable and any death resulting from it may be charged to negligence or igno rance. Dysentery and diarrhea- are still common, and occasional intes tinal disturbances m ay be caused by polluted drinking water. Cholera is also a water-borne disease al though it is not common in this part of the world. Like typhoid, it too has claim ed the lives of famous people. High Milk Producers Required Ior Profit The size of the milk vyells is a true m easure of the size of the milk veins. This diagram of the udder structure by Clemson Agricultural college shows the udder structure in detail. If the end of the vein is forked, two or three milk wells often m ay be found on either side. A good m am m ary sy> m is indi cated by a large udder, which gets its capacity in length and width rather than excessive depth, extend ing well up behind and forward. Significant Changes Noted In Nation’s Money Market Recent trends in the loan and in vestm ent portfolios of m em ber banks and the current weakness in the m arket for medium and long term government securities reflect a num ber of significant changes in the forces which have influenced the money m arket during the past five years, according to officials of the Federal Reserve system. These changes may be grouped into two categories: (I) basic economic forces — particularly the increased demand for credit and capital by business generally, and (2) a series of official policy m eas ures designed to curb additional credit expansion under current in flationary conditions. Perhaps the most significant de velopment resulting from these fac tors is the change in the interest rate pattern. Although ’short-term rates have firmed noticeably, this development has occurred within the fram ework of a controlled m ar ket, and the federal reserve sys tem still is committed to m ainte nance of an orderly security m ar ket. The extent to which official action by the treasury and the re serve system has been able to influ ence credit expansion is conditioned by requirem ents of managing the public debt as well as by the gov ernm ent’s current fiscal position. Jerusalem Is Hallowed Center of Three Faiths On the rugged mound known as the Rock within the eastern edge of the walled Old City of Jerusalem the Ark of the Covenant once stood. There Abraham prepared to offer Isaac as a sacrifice and Solomon built his great temple. There stands the Wailing Wall where Jews mourn and pray—a wall believed by many to be a rem nant of Solomon’s Tem ple. From this sam e black rock, Mos lem s believe Allah lifted Moham med on a visit to Islam ’s heavens, returning him the next day. And the Dome of the Rock is the grace ful Mosque of Omar, one of the three most sacred spots in the Mos lem world. Thus, notes National Geographic society, a single sm all area in the Holy City of three great religions— Jewish, Christian and Moslem — points up the interest in hallowed ground that is both m utual and com petitive. Jerosalem lies half a mile above sea level in the mountainous heart of the land of Canaan, now known as Palestine — its Philistine name. The city, grown much larger out side its old walls, is midway be tween the M editerranean and the Dead sea. Rcpe Around tbe World American rope m akers reach to the far corners of the earth for the fibers they need to m eet the uni versal demands of 141 million Americans for rope. Whether it is for the 5,300,000 farm ers or. 107,- 000 fishermen in this country, or for a m echanic or a housewife, there’s a steady flow of cordage fibers to American factories to make up the estim ated 300 million pounds of rope and twine that will be pro duced in this country this year. With a negligible supply of raw m ate rials available in the United States, large and sm all cordage m akers alike look to the Philippines and Africa, the E ast Indies, India and Middle America for their basic fi bers. The Philippine islands, with their world famous m anila hemp, are the largest single source of abaca fibers. Manila fiber, the cor rect nam e for which is abaca, is still the No. I hard fiber used in rope making. Five Points Suggested To Curb Hog Influenza American farm ers were warned that swine influenza m ay cause new, record-breaking financial losses. “This disease is a danger to swine, just as it is to people, In cold w eather,” American Foundation for Animal Health declared. “This year, in view of high prices and food short ages, widespread outbreaks would be a m ajor disaster.” I A five-point plan to prevent swine influenza losses w as recommended: “Keep hogs away from old straw stacks, m anure piles and contam i nated lots, where they m ay pick up the virus of influenza. “Provide clean, draft-free quar ters, with am ple bedding. “Keep clean, fresh drinking w ater . before the hogs all the tim e. f I “Combat internal parasites.

In this case, mixing is coordinated with cribbing and grinding operations. Generally, m ixers are located either adjacent to the grinder or in the barn mow alm ost directly above the mill. The two-ton m ixer, shown in the accompanying illustration, is in the mow of a Midwestern farm . When processing operations begin, shelled corn, which has been blown JrI J l I Such a m ixer will save labor. into a bin to the right of the m ixer, drops through a chute to the grinder on the floor below. The blower pipe is shown at the right of the mixer. After grinding has been com pleted, the ground grain is blown into the m ixer and necessary sup plements added. The thoroughly mixed grain then flows out of the mixer and down a chute to be load ed into a feed cart on the first floor. The only m anual work required is dumping the sacked supplement into the mixer. A conventional type blower cribs the whole grain auto matically, while the blower attach ment on the electrically powered grinder returns the ground grain to Uie mixer. Setups of this type are becoming commonplace on scores of electri fied farm s. They can be constructed at relatively sm all cost and, in most cases, by unskilled farm labor.

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Truman Calls for Draft, Training To Bolster Resistance to Russia; U.S. Reverses Stand on Partition Released by WNU Features (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed In these columns, they are those of Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) ■f I BAlTiC < NORTH SBA S. S. R. 0:,,n - - .3 1 M=J M FORCES AT WORK . . . Increasing Conunnnist pressure in Europe has been instrumental in dividing the continent into three component power blocs, all of which are influenced by a fourth force—U.S. policy, symbolized by the presence of American troops in Germany, Austria and Italy. Map shows western bloe (I) of anti-Communist Britain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands; northern bloc (2) of the Scandinavian countries, daily growing more apprehensive of Soviet tactics and eastern bloc (3) of Russia and its satellites. Present ap proximate American troop strength is indicated for Germany (120,000), Austria (10,000) and Italy (5,000). THE PRICE P e a c e a n d W a r “We m ust be prepared to pay the price of peace or assuredly we shall pay the price of war.” Those words, spoken by President Harry Truman to the U. S. con gress, could be the seeds of the first genuine, effective foreign policy this nation has had for half a cen tury. Disregarding any political over tones there might have been in the President’s speech, his address to the joint session of congress re flected the realization at the top level of government that any suc cessful foreign policy must be based oh the fundamental concept of strik ing a balance between commitments abroad and the national security or strength at home available to back up those commitments. By definition, the term “foreign policy”, implies that any nation ex pressing such a policy possesses the strength—in military forces and alli ances—to follow it consistently at all times and to defend it just as con sistently in case of war. In that connection Mr. Truman specifically asked c o n g ress for power to draft men to build armed strength against the ruthless aggres sion of Soviet communism. He asked also for “prompt enact ment of universal training legisla tion,” indicating that the draft should be only temporary until universal military training is giving the coun try the trained men it needs. Finally, he sought swift passage of the 5.3-bi]lion-dollar European recovery program — the Marshall plan for economic recovery of west ern European nations which is set ting the Kremlin’s teeth on edge. Bluntly the President upbraided Russia for making a travesty of peace: “One nation has not only refused to cooperate in the establishment of a just and honorable peace, but— even worse—has actively sought to prevent it.” Western Pact Lending force to Mr. Truman’s scattering of the seeds of foreign policy was the fact that, an hour before he delivered his pronounce ment, the just-completed five-nation western European pact for common defense against attack had been an nounced officially. Under the treaty, Britain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Neth erlands pledged one another military aid in the event that any one of them should be attacked. According to the new “Truman doctrine,” the United States would be the principal guarantor of this five-power union. Without such a guarantee of U.S. backing, the west ern European treaty would be meaningless. By his declaration in support of the western European pact Mr. Tru man seemed to be guiding the U.S. to a point of departure from its his toric adherence to the diplomatic enormity of refusing to engage in “entangling alliances” even at the price of its own welfare. BACHELORS: Declining Evidence of an innate desire for family life among adult Americans is revealed in a study by the U. S. bureau of the census showing a long-term decline in the proportion of bachelors of both sexes. On a numerical basis, census bureau figures disclose, the num ber of single men and women has dropped to the lowest level since 1920, despite a third increase in population since then. REACTION: Divided What are the true facts? Just how potentially lethal is the situation with regard to Russia? Senators and representatives were asking those questions after Presi dent Truman’s “let’s get strong” message. Many of them were de manding answers before they would consent to go ahead with any legis lation endorsing a military draft or UMT. Congress was divided, but the split was not along party lines. It re flected isolationism, discontent with the Truman foreign policy and in some cases an almost unhealthy re spect for Russia’s power in Europe. G reatest fear seemed to be that conditions in Europe, as precipi tated by Soviet actions, may get CONVINCING Closeted for 50 minutes with Secretary of State Marshall, Sec retary of Defense Forrestal and Secretary of the Army Royal], the senate arm ed services com mittee emerged from the confer ence to throw its weight behind President Truman’s plea for quick action to. build up America’s mili tary forces. Sen. Chan Gurney (Rep., S.D.), chairman of the committee, re ported that 10 of the group’s 13 members were convinced that both a limited draft and universal military training have become an “absolute necessity.” Just what the three secretaries told the armed services commit tee was not disclosed, but it was undeniably powerful information. out of hand suddenly, despite the efforts of Russia or any other na tion to prevent such a development. Best opinion holds that, while Rus sia is not now seeking war, the Communists have created a kind of Frankenstein monster in Europe that at any moment could plunge out of control and involve the world in another Conflict, Secretary of State Marshall is said to feel this way; The Soviets are motivated by a sense of urgency to act before the European recovery program begins to function and before the union of western European nations is firmly established. Driven by this feeling of urgency, the Soviets may not be able to avert an incident which would lead to a shooting war. ABOUT FACE: Expedience To many persons it looked as though the United States, in aban doning its support of the Palestine partition plan, had pulled a “Pon tius Pilate” on the sam e scene where the procurator of Judea had washed his hands not quite 2,000 years ago to sanction the Cruci fixion. In reversing its role in the par tition struggle, the U.S. proposed that the Holy Land be made a United Nations’ trusteeship, giving Jews and Arabs a chance to reach agreement on their own concerning the future of their country’s gov ernment. Warren R. Austin, American dele gate to the U.N., said that it was obvious that partition could not be carried out except by force, and the U.S. consistently has demurred against the idea of sending troops to Palestine. It was ironic that the American statement withdrawing support from the partition plan was undoubtedly the death blow to that plan which never would have been adopted by the U.N. in the first place if it had not been for American pressure and influence. Washington War litters O FFICIAL WASHINGTON GIVES ALL the appearances of having a bad case of w ar jitters or else planning, a deliberate show of mili tary activity In order to outbluff the Russians. Telegram s have been sent to large groups of reserve officers to be ready in case of trouble. No one has been called officially, but many have been warned that they may be called. In addition, arm y representatives have visited certain key factories and inquired about plans for rapid conversion of their plants in case of trouble. The arm y has been espe cially interested in cement factories, pointing out that it may be neces sary to do a lot of underground con struction. Behind • this, war chiefs admit, have been some ominous moves by the Russian arm y, which has now concentrated heavy reinforcements either in Russian-occupied Germany or else near the German border. There is no way of knowing just what this means. It may mean that the Russians are pre pared to move into W estern' Eu rope in retaliation for the west ern alliance and the U. S.-Brit- ish-French plan for a separate control of the Ruhr. Or it may merely mean that the Russians are shifting their troops around in order to intimidate the Ital ians on the eve of the election and also to scare the United States. It is considered unlikely that Russia really wants war . now, so it m ay well be that the Russian troop maneuvers are • • bluff. In any, event, U. S. war chiefs, having been caught napping at Pearl Harbor, are taking no chances again. To this end, only a few U. S. troops are being left in Germany. Large U. S. forces there might tempt the Russians to deliver a crippling blow and execute a Dun kirk. Should Moscow not be bluffing and suddenly advance through Germany, plans are all set for the U. S. arm y to high-tail it across the continent and on to England. * « * Navy Sponsors Tours THE ARMY AND NAVY are supposed to be united now, but the navy has started imitating the arm y in a drive to win friends and influence taxpayers. Every few months a group of prominent educators, editors and industrialists is invited to attend a 10-day school and learn all about the navy. They are taken' behind the scenes at a big naval base, given a front row seat to the navy in action, even awarded di plomas after the course is com pleted. It’s an indirect lobbying plan somewhat similar to the arm y’s system of flying civilians to Fort . Knox to view the trial military training school. This lobbying re cently was censured severely by congress. The navy’s next course for civil ians opens at the Pensacola naval air station, with 60 educators, edi tors and businessmen invited. “These men will come from near- ,by southern states and will pay all their own expenses,” .explained Capt. A. Macondray, officer in charge of the project. When pinned down, however Macondray adm itted that three men have been invited to fly an the way from Alaska in naval planes, and that several others are also traveling at government expense. “But,” insisted Macondray, “they will have to pay for their own meals.” • • • Truman Blasts Pearson THE PRESIDENT of the United States was blazing mad and shoot ing from the hip when Democratic Chairman Howard McGrath and Executive Director Gael Sullivan went in to see him. They had ex pected to have a quiet talk over political conditions and warn Mr. Truman of growing revolt inside the party. But they never had a chance. Once inside the door, Mr. Tru man said he was fed up with the lack of loyalty by certain party leaders. He blamed the southern revolt on Senator ' Byrd of Virginia and described Byrd as the “finest Re publican in the Democratic party.” Mr. Truman also leveled a blast at the “no-good columnist Drew Pearson” and congratulated Mc Grath for having issued a state ment denying a Pearson report that he, McGrath, would like to resign as national chairman. McGrath had intended talking to Mr. Truman about a vice-presi dential running mate, and planned to suggest Sen. Lister Hill of Ala- ' bama. Knocked off base by the vehe mence of the President’s tirade, how ever, McGrath forgot all about men tioning Hill’s name. W ashington D iffesn J a n M a s a r y k T o o k H i s L i f e I n P r o t e s t A g a i n s t ' R o b o t s ' ' , By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator WASHINGTON4-F o r some time after I heard the tragic news of Jan Masaryk’s suicide, a strange memory haunted m e. . . . I saw — A man and woman alone in a darkened room. They OTe two of the last three human beings on earth. The rest have been destroyed by an army of automatons—man-created robots. Creatures who have all other human attributes, but no sensitivities, no souls. Me chanically-made, the robots are the triumph of the productivity of the machine. But they have revolted and turned against their creators. They now are marching on the last human stronghold. T h e lights go out, you p can hear the rhyth- ’ mic tram p, tram p, tram p of their iron feet. There is a crash of glass as they push, i n- sensitive to pain, through the win dows — two revolv er shots ring out in the dark as the human beings—com- m it suicide to save themselves from the horrible wrath of the automatons. That, you may remember, was the climax of the play RUR—“ Rossums Universal Robots”—written by Karel Kapek. I was reminded of it because of one of the first deeds of Jan Ma- saryk in 1946 when he returned to his native country after the exile imposed on him when Hitler’s robots crushed the first Czech republic. When M asaryk returned, he laid flowers on the grave of Karel Kapek, the great Czech author who wrote that prophetic play, giving us the word “robot” and the warning be hind it. The word comes down from the old Slavic “robota,” servitude. We have accepted the word. We have not heeded the warn ing. The robots, like the Golem of the Hebrew myth, and the Adam of the Psalm s “yet being unperfect” be fore a soul was breathed into his substance offer a grim warning to us now. Unhuman beings released today, may re-enact Kapek’s play' on a stage, wide as civilization. Day after day come the fright ened echoes from Europe of the fear of war. And yet no people wants it. If you were to write down all the m aterial demands of the diplomats and the riders of each nation, and put them in the hands of the peoples of the world and tell them: If you want these you must have war, who would pay the price of war? None. None but a robot, without sensitivity, without soul. The martyrdom of Jan M asaryk seems to have hurt ratheri than helped the Communist cause. I spent some time with the former Czecho slovak ambassador to the United States, Juric Slavik, on the eve ning of the day when M asaryk’s sui cide was announced. Slavik believes that M asaryk felt he could serve bis country better dead than as a living pris oner, for the am bassador says he was a prisoner. Masaryk, alive, but with every word and gesture filtered through the censorship of the Communist screen, would be come a symbol of the spirit of Czechoslovakia surrendered, en chained, a noble and historic name and all it has stood for, be smirched and obliterated. Dead,, the name, the spirit, live. The ambassador recalled an epi sode in that epic odyssey which has gone down in m ilitary history as I . I JAN MASARYK The name , the spirit, live. one of the marvelous achievements of World War I—the m arch of the Czechoslovak Legion which fought beside the Allies against the Rus sians, and after the Bolshevists had made their peace with the Germans, fought its way from the Ukraine to Vladivostok, a trek that makes the world’s great m arches pale by com parison. Many believe that Masaryk had remained on with the new govern ment as foreign minister, not be cause he accepted as inevitable Communist domination, but be- I cause he felt he could serve best I within the government, working se- ; cretly with democratic elements. I He made a cryptic declaration in a speech to the Czech arm y after the Communist assumption of pow er, in which he said: “Czech and- Slovak, brothers, I am with you.” This m ay have been an indication of his true purpose; to direct the un derground. He was a m aster at subtlety. One must take into consideration the attitude toward self-destruction in a country which had a long tradi tion of m artyrdom and underground resistance, and no Catholic back ground. Id o n o tk n o w h o w m u ch o f a mystic Jan M asaryk may have been. But it has been emphasized that only a few hours before his death, he visited his father’s grave with others, to venerate the honored memory. And he rem ained there, alone, long after the others had gone. Perhaps he felt that he had re ceived, in that lonely vigil, some mystic command, say as Hamlet did after a sim ilar experience: “ . . . and thy commandment all alone shall live within the book and volume of my brain, nnmix’d with baser matter: yes, by heaven!”* * • Peace Depends On World’s Children Recently I received a pamphlet from the General Brotherhood board containing an article by Gordon All port, departm ent of social relations at Harvard, entitled: “Guide lanes for R eseardi in International Coop eration.” Allport points out that most in ternational conferences m eet in the Credit: United Nations World These United Nations m em bers don’t quarrel. Can you guess the country to which these children of members of the United Na tions staff belong? glare of cam eras, microphones and bald heads, and that it is tim e to concentrate our efforts on the chil dren. In teaching children about the peoples of the world, Allport says the tendency is to accentuate the DIFFERENCES. • He says: “The American child learns with horror about head hunters, about infanticide; and he learns to laugh at the Dutch who clop in wooden shoes, and at the quaint observances of E aster among adherents to the Orthodox faith. The implication of inferiority is a usual by-product of our present method of teaching cultural and national dif ferences. Less dram atic, but far sounder, would be th^ teaching of the common considerations of justice and morality that are identical over vast areas of the earth. Practices that m ay SEEM to differ dram a tically often indicate common as pirations and common values.. The prayer wheels of Tibet and the si lent Quaker meeting have virtually identical functional significance; so too the initiation rites of the Pawnee and the American high , school com mencement. Allport thinks that a study of the common peoples of the world un doubtedly would reveal that more important to them than boundaries and national aspirations are m at ters of self-respect, pride, food, shelter, m arriage and the wel fare of their children. Yes, as I said earlier, ask the peo ples of the world to vote between capture of territory, acquisition of ports or oil fields at the price of war—and there would be no ques tion of their choice. Little effort has been made,. All- port claims, to search for the com mon ground of mankind—and he suggests that the United Nations prepare an encyclopedia of the uni formities and sim ilarities in the be liefs, practices and aspirations of all peoples—an encyclopedia which would serve as a reference guide for innumerable aspects of world policy for years to come.

It seems to me this should be the other way around. Let’s have friends over, not to return their in- ,vitations, but rather to enjoy their company and have pleasure in talk ing over the problems of the world, the home, or whatever is uppermost in our minds. How can you have time to talk and just enjoy company when there’s food to prepare and serve, I hear many women asking. Well, then, let’s plan simple, easy to serve foods th at won’t take us away from the guests, or make us to o flustered a n d worn out by the preparation. It’s far better to serve a bit of cinna mon toast and a cup of tea, for example, to friends dropping in durm g the afternoon or evening, than it is to try to put together a cake or fancy sandwiches and cookies. They’ll appreciate it much more. AU of the recipes I’m including today are simple and easy to pre pare. Perhaps they m ay even seem too simple, but remember th at very simplicity m ay come in very handy when you w ant to fix something quick and easy. CHEESE PLATTER % pound American cheese, sliced % pound Swiss cheese, sliced 34 pound aged Cheddar cheese, sliced 3 ounces cream cheese 2 portions Roquefort cheese 1 small glass jelly or jam Assorted bread Arrange cheese and jelly on large platter. Serve with a hot beverage, letting guests make up their own sandwiches. A nother good idea is to keep ice cream on hand a t all times, just in case people drop in. The ice cream can be served plain or with cake and cookies. Here’s an unusual recipe th at is bound to make a hit: APRICOT PARFAIT (Makes I quart) 34 pound dried apricots U cup sugar 2 egg whites, stiffly beaten % cup heavy cream Cook apricots in water to cover, until ju st tender. Drain off juice, add sugar and boil to 230 degrees F. or until syrup spins a thread in cold water.

If possible use a ja r th at is just large enough to hold the amount of eggs you have, w ithout any space on top of jar. If yolks are broken, they may be stored a 3 described above. If unbroken, they should be placed in a covered container, covered with w ater and refrigerated. Leftover egg yolks m ay be dropped in cold w ater and cooked, then used for sandwich fillings or garnishes. To extract onion juice, scrape with a sharp knife or the edge of a spoon. To grind-raisins or sticky fruits, heat the grinder before putting them through. To sour milk for a recipe (when you have none on hand) add 2 tea spoons vinegar or lemon juice to I cup sweet milk.

Press apricots through a sieve and chill. Whip cream until stiff enough to hold in a soft peak, add apricot pulp and egg white-syrup mixture. RYeeze until firm. Apricot parfait is also good served with a berry sauce or strawberry or raspberry preserves. If you keep ice cream on hand as I’ve suggested, you won’t have any difficulty making up the next two delicacies. These are excellent for luncheon desserts, afternoon tidbits, or evening snacks: Orange Blossoms Sponge Cake Shells Ice Cream or Orange Sherbet Lemon Pie Filling Whipped Cream Sponge cake shells m ay be made a t home when you are baking, in M ary Ann individual cake pans, or m ay be purchased. Mix equal parts of whipped cream and lemon pie filling (made in advance and kept refrigerated. Place a layer of this m ixture in each shell, top with sherbet or ice cream and serve a t once. Frozen Cake Balls Cover a scoop of ice cream with soft cake crumbs and place on serv ing plate. Cover with chocolate sauce and sprinkle chopped nuts over all. Quickie Sandwiches Long strips of toast spread with seasoned cottage cheese and served with a slice of pickle or dash of paprika. Long slices of thinly cut carrots spread with cottage cheese and rolled as for jelly roll. Deviled ham mixed with bacon or chopped olives spread on thin slices of toast. H ard-cooked eggs mashed with mayonnaise and a dash of curry and served w ith bread, allowing guests to make their own snacks. Fresh crabm eat salad made with celery and green pepper, diced and served with potato chips. Dates, chopped, mixed with cream cheese and moistened with orange juice. Or, several ground fruits (put through the grinder) and mixed with cottage cheese, to serve for sandwiches. Potato chips sprinkled with grated cheese and browned under broiler. Pimiento cheese mixed with chopped ginger and served on bread or toast. Sliced sausage, chicken or ham placed on a platter with cheese and a bowl of fruit makes a good eve ning snack. Always serve a good beverage to go with snacks such as these, as it makes the get - together more pleasant.

Beware the tNew Look/ Crop Specialist Advises Bewarb the “new look,” espe cially in crop varieties. That is the advice of Joe Robinson, Iowa State college agronom ist ‘‘New varieties seem to hold some sort of m agic charm over m any farm ers,” stated Robinson. “I am happy to see the farm er change to new varieties whenever they can increase his yield but just because a variety carries a >new nam e is no indication of its value.” Robinson pointed out that per form ance records are m ore impor tant than newness. Selection of suitable hybrid com varieties creates another problem. Unlike other crops, som e hybird corn varieties are produced by only one concern. Eligibility of both the private hybrid lines and the experi m ent station lines for certification depends on the perform ance rec ords in a corn yield test. Mosquito Control Use of DDT, 2,4-D and other newly-developed weed killers is aiding efforts for mosquito con trol. Cost of some of the new' In secticides, however, (nakes their use prohibitive on large mosquito breeding areas. Ditching and other more perm anent methods still m ust be resorted to in those areas.

In two m onths of duty he pic tured the dessolation of bomb ruins, the poverty of street beg gars, the impotent threat of sui cide boats, the beauty of fishing villages, the simplicity of the Jap anese homes, and the sanctity of Shinte Shrines.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. FICTION «#?*(£» By ROBERT C. BLACKMON STRICTLY BUSINESS THE finest sermon I ever heard ended and the benediction came straight from the heart of the broad-shouldered figure in the pul pit. The stirring voice of the big organ filled the church and the con gregation began to leave. Harry Thatcher and I were sur rounded by sober, thoughtful people as we went to the car. He drove out toward the lake. '“Don,” Thatcher said abruptly aft er he got a cigar started. We were entering the lake drive. “There are three million, five hundred and sixty-six thousand, four hundred and eighty letters in the Bible.” “I suppose so.” I almost dropped my cigarette. His talking about the Book took me by surprise. His in terest was financial news, exclusive ly- “There are seven hundred and s e v e n t y-three thousand, seven hundred and forty-six words in its thirty-one thousand, one hundred and seventy-three verses.” “Sure.” I k . . J at him, wonder ing. His gray eyes were half closed, Iiis broad face grave. One could see why he was called “Bull-dog” Thatcher. He had a reputation of going after business, wherever it was, and -getting it. “Shortly after the war ended, a young man named Phillip Crasor came into my club one evening.” Thatcher settled himself more com fortably in the broad frotit seat of the car, one big hand on the wheel rim. “He had been a pilot. I don’t know how many missions, but enough. Star end at the university before that. AU around athlete. He bad been mentioned as a possible Olympic chance. Follcs had a lit tle m oftey.'’ The car rolled with almost no noise. I said nothing. This wasn’t the Harry Thatcher I’d known. I’d dropped in on him last night since I was in town for a few days, and he’d insisted upon my going to church with him this morning. Thatcher was not a church man, so far as I knew.- I waited. “Phillip had got some cockeyed ideas in the army,” Thatcher went on. “Some radical talk. He started griping about youngsters in the army getting killed while the big-income businessmen stayed home safe. My income runs up a little.” He couldn’t conceal a note of pride.. “He looked at me when he said it and I thought he was making it personal. I told him big-income men were worth what they got and he said they were a lot of stuffed fools. I got sore. I told him he couldn’t handle a $50,000 job for a month, much less a year.” Thatcher coughed a little, apol ogetically. “I was a captain in the first world war. Infantry. Shrapnel.” His hand moved to his right side. “They wouldn’t take me the last time.” He straightened. Breeze from the lake swept our smoke from the car. “Phillip Crasor said he had $5,000 that said he could handle any $50,- 000 job for 12 months. Inherited the money from an aunt, I believe. Anywhy, he said for me to put up or shut up. The fellows in the club laughed, and I—well, I lost my tem per. I called him at ten to one, betting 50,000 against his five that he couldn’t handle the job. I was to name the job. It wasn’t to be impossible, or require technical skill neither of us had. It was foolish, but neither of us would back down. It was a bet and I couldn’t call it off. Betting is strictly business with me. If I win I collect, and if I lose I pay off. Strictly business. U a man can't look at it like that, he has no business betting.” He tooled the big car around a curve. Sunlight was on the lake, a moving pattern of glinting water under a cloud splashed sky. “The dub was in an uproar, with men betting each other we’d both back out, or go on with it. I went over to the big bookcase at the other end of the room to think it out. “I saw the Bible in the book case and remembered my mother telling me that the Book was good to read when yon didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know what to do. “I took the Bible and saw in the back where it had so many letters and words and all that, and it gave me an idea. When I was in school I couldn’t spell. “The teacher used to make me write missed words on the black- place and the materials to do the job, and I was to be the judge of whether the copies produced were acceptable or not. If we had too much argument we could each choose a friend and they would choose a third party to settle the argument. There wasn’t anything left for me to do but go through with it. I was going to teach Phil lip Crasor a lesson, anyway.” My forgotten cigarette burned my fingers and I tossed it from the car. “I turned over a small cottage down on the lake to Phillip Crasor, stocked it with a Bible, paper, pens, ink and blotters and told him to go to work. I left a man there to see that he didn’t get outside help. It was strictly business with me. I had $50,000 at stake.” “Phillip Crasor was going to produce 10 perfectly legible hand written copies of the Bible, as the contract provided, or he would lose the bet." “I didn’t get back for a week or two, and Phillip had spoiled a lot of paper but produced nothing ac ceptable. He wanted to fight, but I told him to read the contract and it was time for him to put up or My man cabled me that Phillip Crasor had locked himself in the cot tage and wouldn’t let anyone in. board a couple of hundred times. I wrote about 20 words a minute, writing carefully. I figured I could write perhaps 30 words a minute, fast. That meant about 15,000 words in a full day of writing. At that rate, it would take 50 days to com plete a handwritten copy of the Bible. Ten good, clear, handwrit ten copies would therefore take about 500 days, and the bet was for a year.” Thatcher laughed softly, remem bering. “I realized that this was an ideal job for the purpose. It required no technical skill neither of us had, and there was a good chance that Phillip Crasor couldn’t do. it. I didn’t want to lose $50,000 any more than he wanted to lose the five. Phillip hadn’t stuck at anything since he came out of the army, and I figured he’d drop out within a few weeks at the most. Then, I’d return his money and teach him a lesson he wouldn’t forget about betting. And there was a very good chance that, after he learned what the job was to be, he’d drop the whole thing and agree to call the bet off. That would have been fine with me. I couldn’t back down as long as Phil lip wanted to go on, of course. The men at the club never would have forgotten it, and it would have hurt' me in a business way. I went back to the others." He nursed his cigar for a few moments. ‘Phillip Crasor exploded when he learned what the job was to be. I didn’t know it, but his handwriting was awful. He thought I was rib bing him. The men in the club were having the time of their lives. A well-known lawyer drew up a contract and both of us signed it. Phillip Crasor wouldn’t back down and I couldn’t. I was to furnish the Grace Noll Crowell L T HIS would I hold more praicMs Uan fine gold, This would I keep although all else be lost: Hope in the heart, that predous, price! thing, Hope at any costAnd God^ if its fine luster should be dimmed, If seemingly through grief it may be spent, Help me to Wlit without too much despair, Too great astonishment.

The club was betting he’d last about another week. I did not think he’d go that long.” Thatcher looked out over the lake, then his eyes came back to the drive before us. “Business suddenly took me to France and Italy and I stayed there for months.” He coughed again, apologetically. “All wars are not won on the battlefield, and all sol diers do not wear uniforms, you know. Anyway," I was gone over nine months. My man cabled me that Phillip Crasor had locked him self in the cottage and wouldn’t let anyone in. The year was almost up when I got back home. It had about 20 days to run. I hurried down to the cottage.” Thatcher flicked ashes from the cigar. “My man said Phillip Crasor had been gone for a week. The 10 handwritten copies of the Bible were on a table in the cottage, all per fectly legible. On top of one pil« was a letter to me from Phfllip Crasor. I have that letter home now, in my Bible. He said he wouldn’t take the $50,000 and the bet was off. I paid, though, to the church we attended this morning. When a man loses, he should pay. It’s strictly business. If I’d won—” “But what about Phillip Crasor?” I held another forgotten cigarette in my hand. “Oh. He preached that sermon you heard this morning.” LET'S TALK ABOUT y o u , — BY CHARLES B. ROTH — GIVE YOURSELF TO A CHAlB A friend of the late William James, greatest psychologist of his day, asked the noted man if he woidd mind giving a few rules for the improvement of personality. “One rule I will give you,” re sponded Dr. James, “a simple rule —but so important. The rule is this: Learn to give yourself up to a chair at least once each day.” Mystified, the inquirer asked what Dr. James meant when he said “give yourself up to a chair.” “Practice conscious relaxation,” he was told. “Relax every day. Relaxation, particularly the ease and restfulness associated with otter relaxation, is one ol the best aids I know in developing K charming personality.” How often one sees these futile run-arounds, men and women who are busy from morning till night, who never relax, who dash from one thing to another, who fidget and fume, who talk rapidly, who burn up energy and tire themselves and everyone else out by their fruitless display of waste motion. And how rarely one finds the composed, re laxed personality of power. Dr. James' advice was, of course, purely physical—all you had to do was to give yourself up to the chair, relax utterly, let your body sag where it would. But there is al ways a subtle and marked relation ship between mind and body. And the purpose of his counsel was to let your mental moods take theii tone from your physical department “What mental mood can you e* pect if you are always physical!] tense?” he inquired. in U rn o flo flo l U niform S irn cfo / S tiio o l lo a io n 8CRIPTU RE: Ezra 1-6; Haggai. DEVOTIONAL READING: Psalma 126:1-«. The Return From Exile Lesson for April 18, 1948 D r . N e w tO D COWPER’S lines come to mind as we study the dramatic re turn of the Jews from their exilfe in Babylon to Jerusalem in the first year of the reign of Cyrus, king of Persia, 536 B. C.: "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea And rides upon the storm.” And yet it is not altogether strange, for if you will turn to Jeremiah 29:4-14, you will find a prophecy given 50 years before the event that this very thing would occur. There were two other deportations of the Jews from Babylon, prior to the incident in our lesson — the return led by Daniel, 606 B. C., and the one led by Ezekiel, 597 B. C.* * * PROCLAMATION OF CYBOS T HE proclamation of Cyrus, Ezra 1:1-5, records the happy word to the Jews that they would not only return, but that the temple would be rebuilt. Cyrus called upon all the people who would to make offer ings by which the temple might be restored. Cyrus was acting under divine impulse in this gracious and generous proclamation. “The Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah,” said Cyrus, Ezra 1:2. xFifty thousand Jews, their hearts rejoicing at the thought of return ing to the land of their fathers, set out on the trek of 600 miles, laden with gifts from the Persians for the restoration of the temple in Jeru salem. They could now sing the song of the Lord, and no longer did their harps hang silently on the willow trees. * * * THE DECREE OF ARTAXERXES T HE fourth chapter of Ezra brings us to the halting of the work on the temple, after they had raised the magnificent sum of ap proximately $400,000, and had laid the foundation for the temple, with imposing ceremonies. This delay was occasioned by the jealousy of the Samaritans, who went to Artaxerxes, through em ployed counsel, and convinced him that it would be dangerous to allow, these Jews to rebuild Jerusalem. At first, the Samaritans proposed that the Jews let them use the temple in joint worship, but the Jews feared the Samaritans and refused their offer. It was then that the Samaritans effected the delay in the building of the temple by the space of 14 years. Meanwhile, the Jews went forward with the build ing of their homes and reestablish ing themselves and their civiliza tion in Jerusalem.* * * STICKING TO ONE’S PURPOSE WE come now to the part Hag- gai played in summoning the Jews to their duty and obligation to God to restore the temple. It was in the second year of the reign of Darius that Haggai received the word of the Lord. “Is It time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house lie waste? Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Consider your ways.” It was enough. The people rallied to the call of Haggai, and the temple was completed. Hen can al ways do what they ought to do, if they will to do it..* * m GOD’S PURPOSE FULFILLED T HE message of Haggai was heeded. The temple was com pleted, Ezra 6:13-18, and God’s pur pose was fulfilled. Read Psalm 126. This brings us to the golden text: "No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God,” Luke 9:62. When once the returned exiles felt the iron of God’s purpose surging througK' their veins, they quitted themselves like men, and God’s power was everywhere manifest.

Right now there is not enough oil for all who want to con sume oil in this country; and some domestic waters are not calmed. Some of you have come smack up against this shortage of petroleum products. I hope you are not among those who have had the poor judg ment to call for government ration ing and control. I have said in an earlier column that it was government bungling, along with Ihe wastage of war, that laid the ground work for our current ■trouble in the petroleum industry. ;The result—our shortage of fuel oil and gasoline—is here. Now there are those folks who get frightene:’, not having the long view of th’n.-s, .every time a slight economic d'r'o- cation rears its head. These f!k - usually holler for the government Ic do something. Who’s To Blame? Or they blame an industry. In t’-'s 'instance the oil industry is no i r r r to blame than you are. In fact, you are probably more to blame, espe cially if you are one of nearly a million householders who have in stalled oil heating since 1941. Or if 'you have anything to do with the almost 2% million increase in motor vehicle registration since 19*1. There are 35% more trucks on the road than before the war. They haul food to you that is grown in farms almost 100% more mechanized than in 1941. AU these things take oil. Rail roads used 42% more diesel fuel in 1947 than in the year before. Our greatly stepped-up industrial growth has been powered by oil and lubri cated by petroleum products. Oil and gas have emerged as the main source of industrial energy. In 1920, coal accounted for 78% of the total energy produced in this country, oil and gas 19%. In 1946 it was: coal, 47%; oil and gas, 47%. (The miners’ Mr. Lewis please note.) Full Speed Ahead The oil industry is therefore pro ducing at top speed. Present output of the industry is more than the whole world required ten years ago. This demand is estimated by some oil men to be growing at a rate of about 8% a year! This is the kind of situation that government interfer ence and price control can never cure! Demand is a fine thing, for the whole industry. But there are prob lems. Oil men tell me it costs three times as much to put up a modern refinery as it did in 1936. They say total exploration costs are about four times those of ten years ago, and wildcat wells cost (per barrel discovered) five or six times what they used to. Then, of course, there’s the problem of whether they can get the steel or materials at all. What You Can Do If you are an oil consumer, you can help get the country through this crisis. You can do it by practic ing honest-to-goodness Scotch econ omy this winter. This voluntary way will prevent government interven tion and rationing, which would only make matters worse. Rationing would bring hoarding and ruin pres ent fair distribution channels. The industry through enterprise will continue to put out the goods. Solv ing problems this way, America will continue to be a great and strong nation. Uncle Sam Says IM B What would you say if you saw a groundhog emerge from bis hole this month with a stock of Savings Bonds in his paws? Millions of my nieces and' nephews, who own Sav ings Bonds and are adding to their bond holdings regularly through the Payroll Savings or the Bond-A- Month Plans, would say that Mr. Groundhog has at last acquired common sense as a prophet of an early spring.

Sn Treaeury Department Proper Treatment Will Halt Termites Tests Show Need for Protecting /!!I ’Lumber A visit to tropical Barro Colorado island in the Panama canal zone 21 years after a termite test building was erected to test effectiveness of coal-tar creosote and zinc chloride in protection of wood against ter- I V * -- Panama test house. This photo shows that treated wood had not been attacked by termites. mites has shown that despite this “termite heaven,” inhabited by some 45 different kinds, termites can be defeated by proper wood treatment. This will'be good news to farmers and home owners who see their wood foundations, walls and floors fall away before the onslaughts of the wood destroying "disease.” After 21 years the impregnated wood was sound, but a cot of un treated wood left in the house was riddled by termites. This would seem, to indicate that in building a house or farm building, all lumber, including the shingles, should be treated as well as the fence posts. It was found that when the termites found no edible wood, that is untreated wood, that they soon moved to new territory. Tests have shown that soil-poison ing, although beneficial, is less per manent and should be resorted to only where structural control meth ods are impractical, or in addition to them. Another aid is to discourage ter mite activity by adequate drainage, ample ventilation and removal of wood debris. Bunching Vegetables Wcalher Science to Tame Destructive Ice and Hall There is a very good possibility that destructive hailstorms may be eliminated in the future, and seri ous ice storms may be “tamed” in winter, according to snow-and-rain- making scientists, National Patent council reports. By introducing large quantities of ice nuclei at and above the freez ing level in high cumulus clouds, hail , particles would be unable to grow to any considerable size, ac cording to Vincent J. Shaefer, con sultant to “Project Cirrus,” a weather research program being conducted by the army signal corps and office of naval research. There is evidence that the seri ous ice storms of last winter result ed from formation of rain in super cooled clouds, according to Shaefer. Under such conditions, it should have been possible to convert all this rain to snow. It is unlikely that the inconvenience and traffic trou ble produced by an increase in snowfall would be as great as that caused by icy streets, broken pow er, light and telephone wires, and the breakage of shade and fruit trees. Not all ice storms can be related to supercooled clouds, in Shaefer’s opinion, but last winter’s storms point out the importance of know ing more about such situations and having facilities to cope with them when the situation could stand im provement. Rich Gold and Gre Veins Discovered in Australia Two rich gold strikes and the dis covery of scheelite deposits are re ported from Perth, Western Aus tralia. Selected ore taken from a claim at Parker’s Range yielded 65 ounces 17 pennyworths of gold from three hundredweighths of stone. A total of 300 ounces has been taken from this reef. The second strike is reported in the Kalgoorlie district on property adjoining the new Kalgoorlie gold mines in which capital was over subscribed in a few minutes when made available for public subscrip tion. A large body of stone 38 feet wide which assayed over an ounce of gold to a ton at a depth of 54 feet was uncovered. At Kalgoorlie, hub of the Austral ian gold mining industry, a seam of scheelite has been found a mile and a half away from the famous “Gold en Mile.” ‘It is the first discovery of this mineral in that area. The scheelite was found in a deposit of quartz. Specimens from the seam subjected to tests disclosed scheelite in fairly large quantities.

Its old gabled stone houses with their mullioned win dows are even roofed with stone. From birth this Wiltshire village had belonged to the lord of the manor, the best known of whom was Sir John Fastolf in the 15th century, caricatured in Shakespeare’s Fal- staff. He had married the widow of Sir Stephen Scrope, whose family had owned the estate for 500 years. Castle Combe’s once flourishing tex tile mills are gone and its popula tion is greatly reduced. It owed its industrial prosperity largely to pow er from the river flowing swiftly through the richly-wooded valley. This was once a thriving market town, where Wiltshire farmers sold their produce at the market cross in the village square. The upper story of the market house was used as a sort of guild hall.

Form Hospital Districts Hospital districts similar to school districts are being established in California in counties of less than 200,000 population. The districts need not stay within county lines but may include areas contiguous to centers selected for the building of hospitals to be included in the gen eral county tax rate at not more than 20 cents per 100 dollars assessed valuation. Already 17 such districts have been started. Some are plan ning to issue bonds for hospital con struction to be serviced out of hospi tal revenues or taxes should sub sidies be necessary. The statewide hospital survey being conducted by the California department of health is cooperating in an advisory capac ity when requested and it is expect ed that many rural communities will be able to bring hospital facilities in line with their needs under this pro gram. Flies Resistant to BDT Developed by Scientists A strain of DDT-resistant house flies, requiring nearly twice as much of the chemical to kill them as ordinary flies, has been devel oped by the USDA. The possible fu ture development of DDT-resistant houseflies in nature is of consider able importance to public health. The problem depends somewhat on how long it may take for wild flies to. develop such resistance. This would complicate controL When Turkeys Had Bells Half a century ago before turkey raising became a scientific commer cial industry with heated apart ments, hot and cold running water, cod liver oil and vitanfin pills, many general farms had a flock of a score or. two of birds. The long-legged, bright-eyed birds liked to wander over the meadows, pasture and up land fields for grasshoppers and bugs. They circled into the woods and when the beechnuts fell, after the 'first killing frost, the turkeys fattened on the beechnut meats. Thus it was that generations ago farmers Hung small bells around the necks of the turkeys, according to Pacific States Pomtry association. Mail order catalogues carried ad vertisements listing the polished metal turkey bells at $1.10 per dozen.

Be An “Engineer in Good Eating”—Do Home Canning! Simple Instructions BoseJ Sn Science You may not have a degree aa an engineer, Mrs. Housewife, but when you’re home canning you’re using scientific principles just as surely as a mining, chemical, electrical or other engineer. That "is, if you fol low glass jar 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 1796 by the French gov ernment. Napoleon, like .Frederick the Great, believed an army travels on its stomach, and the folks at home got hungry and discontented too! Nicolas won the prize, after 16 years’ work, but his methods and equipment' have been greatly im proved upon. He labored under many handicaps, not knowing a tempera ture beyond boiling is required for processing Borne 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 whicb has sealing compound on the under side and is tested for seal by pressing on the center of the Iid with the finger. Sealing with the Dome lid is made doubly sure by the new type metal band which bears down on the lid at three pressure points. Also reliable in seal is the light ning type jar with rubber ring, 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 Biue 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.

Internal Parasites Cut Yield oi Wool Year-Round Control Program Advocated Most of the emphasis on parasite control in sheep has been tied up with faster gains, better lamb car casses and prevention of damage to the intestinal walls of the animal. Attention of sheepmen now is be ing directed to the effect of internal Producers must be insect free. parasites on the yield of wool. Michigan State college is urging flock owners in that state to treat -animals with phenothiazine to keep them in good condition and to get ; a heavier growth of wool. Pheno- ! thiazine is administered as a drench or in pellets, or mixed with salt and kept before the flock all the time. A dependable year-round program calls for individual treatment of all animals in fall and spring, and use of the phenothiazine-salt mixture throughout the pasture season. This (ia the program being followed by progressive sheepmen to keep para sites in check. Soil Needs Nitrogen How lime, clover and crop resi dues increase the soil’s nitrogen- and organic matter supply and thus boost crop yields, is shown by the chart below. This drawing summar izes results of tests at the Dixon soil experiment field by University of Illinois agronomists. All three plots in the tests were limed and the crop rotation on each included corn, oats and wheat. One plot had no clover. The small grain straw was removed and the cornstalks were burned. This plot produced a four-year average of 87 bushels per acre. The second plot had the same UME-NO CLOVED .CODNmkS BURNED. CODN -57 BU UME-SWEET CLOVER C0RNSTALK5 BURNED. CODN -81 BU.

The increased nitrogen and organic matter from the - clover boosted the corn yield 24 bushels. On the third plot, sweet clover was grown and in addition the corn stalks, oats straw and wheat straw were returned to the soil. The extra organic matter, nitrogen and other plant foods thus saved and, returned in the crop residues gave the soil "what it takes” to yield 88 bushels of corn per acre. Rteord Low Death Rate Estimated for Past Year American life insurance policy holders probably will record the best health year in history in 1947, the Institute of Life Insurance re ports, early estimates pointing to the lowest death rate ever recorded. This was accomplished despite new high death rate records being set in the two leading causes of death, heart disease and cancer. During the past year, policy holder deaths from influenza and pneumonia, tuberculosis and chil dren’s diseases dropped to a record low rate. While these three classifi cations combined accounted for one- third of all policyholder deaths 35- years ago, this past year they repre sented fewer than one-twelfth. Both children’s diseases and the influenza and pneumonia classifica tion showed 1947 death rates at aljout one-half those of prewar years. Cities Launch Campaign To Reduce Noise Level Quiet is the watchword in many cities currently acting to reduce noise, according to a Eiwanis magazine survey. Schenectady, N. Y., recently passed an ordinance branding sound trucks a nuisance and banning them from city streets. The New Jersey supreme court meanwhile upheld a Trenton ordi nance forbidding broadcasting of speeches or music from -sound trucks. The ordinance had been con tested as an infringement of the right of free speech. In Sacramento, Calif., an ordi nance had been proposed to ‘pro hibit sound amplifying and broad casting from both airplanes and sound trucks, and to forbid adver tising from motor vehicles on city streets. Miami’s anti-noise ordi nance now prohibits loudspeakers playing in the open air or in hotel patios. A ban on “unnecessary loud noises” which interfere with the ordinary comfort of residents has been imposed in Sylacauga, Ala. Of 75 cities with anti-noise regulations, 67 report success in lowering the noise level through consistent en- forcement efforts, and 14 report re duction of the number of traffic ac cidents following enactment of anti noise ordinances. Apples Contain Many Important Food Elements The main nutritive value of the apple consists in its content of sol uble solids, mainly sugar, to the ex tent of about 13 to 16 per cent, ac cording to C. R. Fellers, Massachu setts State college. Ripe apples con tain little or no starch. The acid of the apple is malic, an easily digest ible organic acid which leaves no acid residue in the body. Apples may be freely eaten without fear of "acidosis.” Apples are particularly rich in pectin content as evidenced by the ease with which apple jelly is made. This pectin contains from 8 to 16 per cent of uronic acid, a substance concerned with mucine formation in the body's mucus mem branes. Pectin has been reported beneficial in many ways such as in intestinal ailments and in absorp tion of toxic substances from the in testine. During the war, pectin prep arations were used extensively in surgery to promote healing. Apples contain small- but useful quantities of minerals such as iron, phos phorus, sodium, potassium, magne sium and. iodine. Thus, apples pro vide considerable nutritive value in addition to their aesthetic and appe tite appeal. Alaska’s School System Alaska is the only area governed by the United States that has two public school systems—one by the federal government and the other by the territory. The federal gov ernment provides schools Jor the na tives and the territorial government makes provisions for the white popu lation. The natives and the whites are about evenly divided in num bers. There is no prohibition against natives attending territorial schools, and vice versa. With few exceptions, however, attendance is practiced within the purpose of the two sys tems. Schools supported by the fed eral government confine their work to grades, usually from the first to the eighth. Territorial schools in clude both grade and secondary classes. Natives desiring an educa tion more advanced than the eighth grade may transfer to a territorial high school. Developed Early Glass In 1607, eight Polish and German glass blowers, members ot Capt. John Smith’s first expedition to colo nize the new world, landed on the James river at what later was to be the site of Jamestown, Va., accord ing to a study of glass history by Libbey. They constructed a crude glass furnace in the nearby woods to make beads for trading with the Indians and thus glassmaking be came the first industrial enterprise on American soil. Because glass- making always had been ir. the hands of a small group of craftsmen who were masters of a difficult art, manufacturing processes changed little until 1900, when America de veloped processes that revolution ized the industry. Prt Young Farmer Has Chance to Start Knowledge and Training Essential for Success More "than the usual number of places are available for young men to get started in farming in 1948, according to Prof. C. A. Bratton-of Cornell university. Many farmers are ready to turn their farms over to young men, or are looking for a young man to work for wages on a profit-sharing basis. Farming in the years ahead, ac cording to Bratton, will provide a good living for the young man who is well trained, properly financed and located on good lands. Educa tion and experience will be even more important for farming in the future than it has been in the past. Starting farming in a peziod of in flated prices requires caution. Un usually high prices for livestock and machinery and high leind values make it important to start without heavy indebtedness. Working as a Time and again 4-H club mem bers have proved that their train ing well fits them to successfully operate farms of their own. hired man in a farm partnership or share renting are ways a young man with limited capital can be come established without a heavy debt load.

Pasture Makes Cheap Dairy and Stock Feed Pasture is the cheapest and best feed your dairy and meat animals can get, declares the Middle West Soil Improvement committee. Not only will it save scarce feed grains, but also it will cut production costs and step up the milk and meat out put. However, the soil must be fed to get a good stand of legumes and grasses. Legumes are heavy “eat ers” of phosphorus and potash, re quiring plenty of plant food. Lim ing, based on soil tests, use of manure and the return of crop after maths to the soil are other essen tials. Airplane Defroster An obsolete twin-engined bomber purchased from the Australian war disposals commission is doing duty as a “defroster” on a South Aus tralian orchard. The orehardist mounted the fuselage and motors on a turntable and removed most of the wing sections. He set the rud ders so that the plane revolves slowly.

Selected chiefs of Ewe-speaking tribes of Togoland re cently were invited to appear before the United Nations trusteeship coun cil to oppose continued partition of that former German colony between France and Great Britain. For cen turies, the native kings of Dahomey maintained female troops. Through out the 19th century, armed with blunderbusses and razor-sharp knives, these women soldiers per formed feats of endurance and feroc ity in combat that made them known to Europe as the Dahoman Amazons. The Ewes called them “the King’s wives.” Seen Along Main Street By The Street Rambler. 000000 Ann Martin, Marion H orn and small dog sitting in parked auto on Main street—Coaleen Smith paying bill at drug store—Bovce Cain and W .

U E Low Alcohol Reserves TI7HILE THE BRASS HATS de- mand the drafting of men for the army, they continue to let the big distillers pour out more and more wfflskey, despite the fact that the nation's industrial alcohol re serve remains dangerously low. Industrial alcohol was one of the most strategic materials of the late war, being used in producing syn thetic rubber, chemicals, insecti cides, TNT and munitions. In fact, industrial alcohol was considered so essential that more than 200 million gallons were stockpiled in the year 1943 alone. Today, however, only about 21 million gallons of industrial alcohol are stockpiled—enough to last 10 short days if war should break. While the big distillers are ig noring Mr. Truman’s plea for vol untary rationing by adding to the already groaning supplies of whis key in warehouses, the army and navy munitions board is doing absolutely nothing about stockpil ing industrial alcohol for defense. Real fact is that we face a worse industrial alcohol shortage, in event of an emergency, than before the j war—because at that time we had I a big grain surplus. Now we have ; virtually no grain surplus, with for eign aid taking about all we can spare. Meanwhile, the brass hat-con trolled munitions board hasn’t even bothered to put industrial alcohol on its list of “strategic and critical materials.”. . . U. S. Won’t Drop A-Bomb WITH THE WAR SCARE such as it is, one all-important, obvious ques tion is whether the United States should get the draw on Russia and drop the A-bomb first. This ques tion has been discussed at Key West and at other military conferences, but the decision seems to have been no. In fact, at Key West, Admiral Leahy, the President’s chief of staff, even made a passionate plea that the atomic bomb not be used in such a way as to harm innocent women and children in enemy terri tory. However, it was decided that the United States will lean over back ward to make sure no war initia tive, no overt act, no premature dropping of the A-bomb takes place. At present, the United States has a more than ample supply of A- bombs, plus the capacity to make more at assembly-line speed. Fur thermore, the new A-bomb is about 1,000 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. But they will not be used against any enemy in any surprise move. To do so would be against the Christian concepts of humanity, also against the century-and-a- half tradition of the United States that we never have attacked an other nation, F u r t h e r m o r e, for the United States to get the jump on the enemy by dropping the A-bomb would mean such revulsion of world feeling that we would lose our present moral position in Europe. The history of every war is that when pepole consider themselves wronged, they bide their time and build up their resources until they can come back at their conqueror. Another important point considered by U. S. defense chiefs is the fact that the Russians now have ob tained all the secrets of German submarines and undoubtedly will use them to release rockets at ma jor U. S. cities. As a result, Russian subs today could come close to American cities with V-2 rockets aboard, to be launched against U. S. cities from submarines decks. T h e s e gruesome prospects are some of the things U. S. strategists necessarily must c o n s id e r . They feel there is no use shutting our eyes to them, in fact, that if we prepare to meet them, the prospect? of war with Russia will be lessened • * * Heed Key Materials PRESIDENT TRUMAN HAS RE CEIVED a blunt warning from Wil liam M. Allen, president of Boeing Aircraft company, that the govern ment must reinstitute allocations of key materials, such as aluminum, if the U. S. is to build airplanes for future emergencies. Allen, who was accompanied to the White House by Sen. Warren Magnuson of Washington, told Mr. Truman that his company now is producing a super successor to the B-29, known as the B-50, at the rate of seven planes a month. The new planes can outstrip both the 3,200- ! mile range of the B-29 and its 350- mile-an-hour speed. Boeiiig also is testing a new jet bomber of revolu tionary speed and range. But, Allen told the president: “We can’t begin turning out these new planes in any quantity unless there are allocations of the materials needed to produce* them, so we can plan our production schedules at least six months ahead. We can gear up our pro duction of B-50’s right now to 40 a month, but not without material allooations.” UPhiHipr HOME SWEET HOME The trend in house building is decidedly toward the one-story demi- tasse, close coupled economy-sized home. At first regarded as a make shift offspring of depressions and wars, the half-pint dwelling has gone too far for that now. It seems here to stay.Q Home development sites all over the land are dotted with homes shucked of old-time standard fea tures such as an upstairs room, an attic, a cupola or a flight of stairs The upper floor strikes some ob servers as much a thing of yester day as the nickel glass of beer, the five-cent stogie and a straight an swer to a congressional committee *_ Generally speaking the home of 1843 is something mom and pop would have thought inadequate for the pigeons. They would have re quired more room for a couple of laying hens. It is a garage with living rooms to match. Every thing is close to the ground, in cluding the roof. * _ The automobile, radio, movies and road maps and electric equipment are responsible for the Tom Thumb domicile. For they have created a new design for living. The era when people stayed home much has gone. The age of gentle living, fire side concentration, dinner parties and family gatherings is fading out. *_ Mother’s place is in the home— when the car is laid up. * _ Mom and pop used to have to stay home most of the time. They got the same kick out of the long trip from the back kitchen to the garret that their sons and daugh ters get from a dash to Canada. *_ Mother held a roomy pantry dearer to her heart than JoetS Frankfurter Grille.» (Still there is no denying the fact she aged rapidly and wore out earlier daing all the necessary housework and just sitting around in her spare time listening to the old man pick at the banjo. Maybe it’s all for the best.) * * * THE LEADERS AND TRORIflH “It is reported that leading powers In the Democratic party, convinced that Mr. Truman cannot be re elected, will try to get him to with draw.”—News Item. » , FIRST LEADER—The question before us is how to get Harry to retire.

WEEKLY WEWS ANALYSIS Lewis Battles Taft-Hartley Law; Baruch Sees ‘Total Mobilization’; Eisenhower Repeats His Refusal , Released by WNU Features . (EDITOR’S NOTEs When opinions are expressed In these columns, they are those of Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) LABOR: Lewis Fight John L. Lewis and the Taft-Hart- Iey law were locked in a mortal struggle. His United Mine Workers were still out of the pits in a “volun tary” objection to the companies’ alleged refusal to provide them with a $100-a-month pension plan. Most of the 400,000 miners were out fish ing. Lewis himself was out gunning for the Taft-HartIey law, enactment of which was largely the result of his activities in the first place. After the miners had gone out, President Truman, acting under the Taft-Hartley law, had appointed a fact-finding board to investigate the difficulties. But when the board asked John L-. Lewis to testify, he refused. Then the board issued a subpoena requesting that he appear. Again Lewis refused, stating that the board had no right to demand his presence before it. He said he based his disinclina tion to testify on the facts that: •I Neither he nor the UMW had done anything covered by the Taft-Hartley law, thereby nullifying the President’s invocation of the law, and r\ Two of the three board mem- " • bers were “biased and preju diced and in honor should not serve.” Finally, minutes before the dead line, the burly, bushy-eyebrowed chief appeared. It was obvious, of course, that the UMW chief was out to break the Taft-Hartley enactment. Apparent ly he was determined to drag the pension dispute all the way through the courts—preferably as high as the supreme court to get a final verdict. And any way it turned out, the process would react for the miners’ immediate benefit. While the courts would be mulling over the matter the date for the annual renewal of the mine workers’ contract in June would be approaching. The longer the present dispute remained unset tled, the worse the nation’s coal situation would grow, thus putting Lewis in‘ a good bargaining position to extract a favorable contract for next year. MOBILIZE: Controls? Bernard M. Baruch approves of selective service and universal mili tary training for the present quasi crisis, but he does not think that is enough to meet all the implications the world situation holds. The financier and presidential ad viser called also for an “economic mobilization plan” and said that America’s failure to muster all its resources now for peace would leave “no alternative but to mobilize for war” in the future. Baruch told the senate armed serv ices committee that he was afraid that if the nation suddenly and with out preparation were called upon to mobilize and prepare for a big war, such forces of domestic inflation would be set in motion as could blow the country wide open and leave it defenseless. He suggested the appointment of someone to “watch the impact upon our economy of the partial mobiliza tion we are entering upon and to maintain a constant inventory, bal ancing all our growing commitments against our resources.” It had not been a hidden threat, but Baruch’s statement had focused attention on the possible danger that a sudden spate of military spending could bring about ruinous inflation. As a result, talk of reviving the defunct OPA was being heard in Washington. Baruch’s warning touched off informal discussions in congress about the possibility of re viving wage-price controls, rationing and other curbs on the domestic economy. This, of course, had been an in tegral part of President Truman’s famous 10-point program against in flation which he proposed last year, but most congressmen virtually had gagged at the thought of reimposing price and wage controls, and the President was accused of trying to set up something like a “police state.” Now, however, congressmen were not so sure. They were beginning to wonder if the military spending necessary to contain Russia might not have to be buttressed by con trols at home. ‘Greatest Killer’ Glenn L. Martin, pioneer air craft builder, revealed that tbe U. S. has developed an offensive weapon superior to the atomic bomb. He called it a “radioactive cloud—thie greatest killer of hu man beings ever devised.* Martin said also, “I’d be in favor of using it before I’d become a slave to another nation.” LUCIUS CLOBB O n W a r N e r v e s “Pharonie,” said Lucius Clobb to his helpmate as he arranged a quizzical wrinkle in his brow, "d’you think we’re thunderin' toward another war?" "Soon as you open your mouth I fig ure we’re in for at least a skirmish" retorted Pharonie. “If you spent half as much time cnltivatizi’ my peace of mind as you do your soybeans zee wouldn’t have zzear the arguments we do.” She impaled the elder statesman of Pazohooley county on a spearlike glance. "Dazig it, Pharonie, zohy do you have to dz-ag your rockin’ chair znilitarism izito everything I set out to do a. little talkin’ on? One of the reasons you married me in the first place zoos to get security. Now you got security but you still leant to fight." The light of creative achievement gleamed briskly in Lucius Clobb’s eye. “Say, by gosh, that there gives me a right smart idea for an aphorism. Nothing I like better thazz an aphorism. TFAat d’you think of this Pharonie: Betzceen 1941 azzd i945 we zvere united with Russia in the bonds of holy war lock, but nozo the honeymoon’s over, the lock is busted and there ain’t noth in’ left, of the original idea except zoar." “blister Clobb, you can put that out in the com crib with the rest of your aphorisms," commented the critical Pharonie. “Mebbe so,” sighed the elder states man, "but it worries me—not knowin' how to feel about this here world situa tion. I’m gettin’ on toward 69, so I could afford to think that in order to have peace and a secure foreign policy zee first got to rig zip a strong back bone at home. And a strong backbone right now means a strong army and navy and air force,” REPEAT: Ike’s ‘No’ Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower, fair- haired boy of both political parties, said it once more: He would not be a presidential candidate on any body’s ticket. There had been a lull following his unequivocal refusal of Republi can overtures, and then the pro- Eisenhower sentiment was resur rected in the hearts of ho fewer than four widely divergent groups ___ Probably the most unique ap proach was being made by Torrey Stearns, a New York public rela tions man, who harbors the opinion that Eisenhower is a Republican.. He conceived a “People for Eisen hower” movement. The method is a nationwide solicitation of voting citizens to send in postcards bear ing this signed testimony: “I want to vote for General Eisen hower'for president in November. I am a citizen of voting age.” “On June 21,” Stearns announced, “all of the statements will be pre sented to the Republican national convention as indisputable evidence that the people of the United States demand the nomination of Dwight D. Eisenhower for president.” But Eisenhower was having none of it. Speaking .through a statement by Maj. Gen. Floyd L. Parks, army press chief, he indicated that "his no politics statement of some weeks ago” should “apply to all parties and groups of voters.” Said Parks: “He has not changed one iota in his position and I do not believe he will do so.” BUNDLE FROM HEAVEN New M inor P lanet 'Swims Into Ken' U. S. astronomers have revealed the discovery of a bundle from heaven—a strange new minor planet which moves around the sun at high speed. The planetoid is only about two miles in diameter. Although there are about 1600 of these minor chunks of matter, all circling around the earth like the sun, most of them travel in orbits far larger than that of the earth and do not come any where hear it. It is the fact that the newly dis covered planet cuts through the earth’s orbit that makes it unusual. Only four other minor planets have been found which do this, and they have since been lost to astronomers’ telescopes. The Fern Doily Bigger Fowl Contest Extended for Year Poultry Raisers Seek Heavier Farm Flocks Bigger and better drumsticks for “Junior” are sought in the national Chicken-of-Tomorrow contest, which !will be extended through 1948.

I Unlike popular reducing fads among the hen’s human counter parts, this barnyard project is de signed to add weight to the farm flocks and to give American chicken _________ A day-old chick perches on a model of the Chicken-of-Tomorrow, the objective in a nationwide con test extended through 1948. eaters more for their money. JPoul- trymen from all parts of the coun try are joining in the hunt for a breeding formula which will add at least 10 per cent more meat to the present-day chicken. A higher per centage of m eat on the bone structure and even meatier wings are sought, thus assuring “Junior” that no longer will only a skimpy ap pendage be left as his lot when the dinner platter arrives at his lowly place. , The industry-wide educational breeding contest originally was set up on a three-year basis, with two years of state and regional contests culminating in a grand national championship this spring in Dela ware. Forty top breeders throughout the nation will send eggs to the finals, where they will be hatched and raised under identical conditions under supervision of the depart ment of agriculture. Winners will re ceive $7,000 in prizes awarded by A & P stores, sponsors of the corn test. Expensive Alarm Why keep a rooster when an alarm clock is cheaper? That question is posed by Boyd A. Ivory, Wyoming agricultural exten sion service poultry specialist. A rooster, Ivory points out, eats about $5 worth of feed a year at current prices. AU you get in return, he in sists, is a lot of crowing—accom panied by NO eggs! A rooster is worthless in,a poultry flock unless he is being used for breeding purposes in supplying fer tile eggs for hatcheries or home incubation. Hens won’t lay any more eggs than they are laying just because a roost er is on the premises, so why not seU that “crowing so-and-so” ? Trade him for a $1.93 alarm clock that tells the time of day for the entire 24 hours and you’U save about $3 in feed costs oh the swapl Quality Chicks Needed To Offset Feed Costs One method through which poul- trymen can combat thg present high cost of feed is to purchase good quaUty chicks. Feed* costs, records compiled by the extension, service indicate, now amount to 60 per cent or moce of the total costs of producing eggs and chicken m eat in contrast to SO per cent in normal times. Tree 'Butchery' Blamed On Untrained Pruners It often takes 50 to 75 years to raise a good shade tree.

Examples of good pruning are seen on most public building grounds. On the other hand, on al most any street examples of tree “butchery” can be seen. 8 YrOU CAN bring all the delicate charm of the lovely fem leaf right into your home by making one or more of those handsome doilies for your best table.

Table-Grafle M/RGARJNE MERRY MERRY MERMAID By MARY LOUISE CHEATBAii "1 'Mli L W T-M AjMSilU o r t i e t i 1TT was still early, and the beach was ; 1Tr deserted,.except for a few lone baUiers far ’ around the shoreline. Merry finished her splashing fa the chilly waters and climbed on a rock by the lakeside, the only rock in view anywhere on the sandy beach. It made a bice spot to sit and dry as the morning sun grew warmer. Spreading her beach robe over the rock .to protect her new green bath ing. suit she rubbed her arms and legs briskly with a towel, then cast it aside .and rummaged, in the can vas beach bag for her- brush and comb, and. a hand inirror. She had just finished !shaking the water from her long, blonde hair anid was brushing it to a -golden sheen W hen a masculine voice beside Ifer told her she was no longer alone.-' "Ah, a mermaid!” said the voice, and there stood a bronzed young mari-in-bathing trunks. He was tall and dark and broad-shouldered, and just thetsbrt of: a. young man a girl dreamed. of>meetirig on her vacation,' only he had appeared much too soon. She blushed and groped for -fin an swer. She shivered and sneezed. “Well,” commented the young man.. “ I .don’t know mermaid lang uage'but kerbhoo, yourse^ Without waiting to be asked, he had= seated himself on the sand be side ithe rock and not knowing what else to do Merry went on awkwardly brushing her hair. “What’s your name?” he asked. “Mine’s Terry Thornton. Staying with some cousins at that cottage down the Ene.” “Meny,” she admitted unhappily. “Not Mary; Merry, like in; Merry Christmas.' Only my last name’s Day. My mother had original ideas.” “Hmm.” Terry mused. “Well, on you its turned' out all right, though she took a chance. Supposing you were one of those grave, sober people who go around frowning ail file time? But with those dimples and that smile it suits you.” Meny blushed again. It was dis concerting to have a strange young man studying her face so closely, but it was funny, too. She laughed. "Merry,” he repeated. “I like that. Merry and Terry. Makes a good combination. Hey! Where you go ing? Don’t jump back in the water, mermaid. I’ll only swim right after youl” "Breakfast,” said Merrj r1 gather ing up her belongings. “We haven’t eaten yet. They’re expecting me at the cottage.” “Well,” said Teny reluctantly. “ ’Bye, then, for now. See you again.” He walked over to the deep end of the pier, waved, dived clean ly and, as Merry left the beach, she saw him swimming with long, sure strokes out to the raft. If only, she thought, he hadn’t come along quite so soon! Now she would have to go to the beach even earlier. “Terry Thornton?” said Mrs. White, with whom Merry was board ing during her vacation. “Why, yes. He comes up here summers to visit relatives in one of those cottages down the row. One of the best swim mers around her. Regular fish.” Merry’s heart sank but she ate heartily of the blneberry muffins and decided nothing was going to spoil this vacation of hers. She had planned too long and worked too hard for it, and now she was going to enjoy every minute. - It was not much fun, going in the water so terribly early, but she splashed determinedly the next morning, then spread her beach robe on the sand and lay there on her stomach, soaking up what sunshine there, was. Head cradled on elbow, she gazed dreamily at the lake. It was always changing color, like the stone in -a ring she used to have- green, blue,-silver, ;or gray, accord ing to the light. The office, with its irritations, seemed far away. "Hello, there!” Itrwas Terry. She sensed his presence before he spoke.: “Care for a swim?” She shook her head. “I’ve already been in,” she said. “Well,” he persisted, “You can go in again.” “No,” said Merry. “I like it here on the beach.” “Okay,” Terry shrugged. “Suit yourself; I’m going to take a swim, then I’ve got to go to the village. Be gone all day. You ought to come along.” "No,” said Merry. "Thanks any way.” She was sorry to see him go, yet happy, too. He would be gone all day! As soon as he was completely out of sight she waded back into the water. Olga, Mrs. White’s cook, came wading out but Merry didn’t mind. Olga was plump and comfort able and she was eating an apple. . *,‘i $ e ,r ip ^ « j£ t0 ia V o ^ ^ e ^ ! arid' keep on 'Vftfh rher; attemjits' fat' swim. “I don’t kriow w hjrliion’t tell him," she thought. “He prob ably Would, teach nje-himself-but, h«: might think I ani aWfiilly stupid, fhej way I don’t make any progrejsg.

"No,” answered Olga, “but I can float.” She lay back, easily, on the surface of the water and continued eating her apple, gazing unconcern edly up at the sky. “That’s wonderful!” said Merry. She tried it but sank immediately, and sat up, gasping and blowing water out of her nose. A peal of laughter rang out and she looked' into the face of a 10-year-old boy who was swimming about like a porpoise. “Here’s the way,” he said, and floated like Olga. “Gee!” he said. “Don’t you know how to swim?” / “No,” Merry admitted, sadly. “I’ve never been around water, much. I’ve always lived in the city, and I just never did learn.” “It’s easy,” said the boy. “Watch here.” So the lessons began. Hopeful and hopeless by turn, Merry kicked and splashed. Her freckle-faced tutor was a hard taskmaster and a merciless critic. They kept at it most of the day but Merry still couldn’t stay on top of the water. lLooks like I’ll never learn!” she thought, but early^ the next morn ing she was-at it again. She man aged to be lying on the beach when Terry dropped by. She turned down his invitation to go on an all-day boating trip with some friends. “An other day,” she thought hopefully. Her young instructor turned up again that afternoon, as enthusiastic as Merry was determined. Day after day, by some rose or cUhis S ra v e Qlew Q0orld -Grace Noll Crowell D ewy-eyed ud d»ning- faced the morning Is startingon iu journey of today Its old wounds healed and seemingly forgotten, Its old son wiped away.

Iy.- “I’ll do it.” ,V" She lay on her side, taking slow,. easy strokes, watching Bobby, in the , boat. The water felt wonderful—she felt wonderful herself! Hardly out of breath at all, she reached the raft. "Hurray!” shouted Bobby. “You made it!” : f ■ -' “Hurray!” echoed another voice. “Three cheers for the merry ,mer maid!” And there on the raft, outlined against the sun, was Terry. Eagerly, he pulled her out of the water. “I crown you queen of the- mer- • maids,” he said, adorning her head with a dripping white %aterlily h e ; had brought from the;;lagoon. ’ “So ! you learned to swim in less' than two, weeks!” , Merry caught her breath. “How did you know?” she asked. “ “Well,” said Terry, smiling deep ly into her eyes. “That-kid jbrother. of mine is a pretty good teacher.?'-'’ LETS TALK ABOUT y o u .

I have said in an earlier column that it was government bungling, along with the wastage of war, that ;laid the ground work for our current .trouble in the petroleum industry. iThe result—our shortage of fuel oil .and gasoline—is here. Now there ,are those folks who get frightened, not having the long view of things, .every time a slight economic d:s’-> . cation rears its head. These frfc usually holler for the government to 'do something. Who’s To Blame? 1 Or they blame an industry. In this 'instance the oil industry is no more to blame than you are. In fact, you are probably more to blame, espe cially if you are one of nearly a million householders who have in stalled oil heating since 1941. Or if ■you have anything to do with the almost 2% million increase in motor vehicle registration since 1941. There are 35% more trucks on the road than before the war. They haul food to you that is grown in farms almost 100% more mechanized than in 1941. All these things take oil. Rail roads used 42% more diesel fuel in 1947 than in the year before. Our greatly stepped-up industrial growth has been powered by oil and lubri cated by petroleum products. Oil and gas have emerged as the main source of industrial energy. In 1920, coal accounted for 78% of the total energy produced in this country, oil and gas 19%. In 1946 it was: coal, 47%; oil and gas, 47%. (The miners’ Mr. Lewis please note.) Full Speed Ahead The oil industry is therefore pro ducing at top speed. Present output of the industry iS more than the .whole world required ten years ago. This demand is estimated by some oil men to be growing at a rate of about 8% a year! This is the kind of situation that government interfer ence and price control can never cure! Demand is a fine thing, for the whole industry. But there are prob lems. Oil men tell me it costs three times as much to put up a modem refinery as it did in 1936. Tliey say total exploration costs are about four times those of ten years ago, and wildcat wells cost (per barrel discovered) five or six times what they used to. Then, of course, there’s the problem of whether they can get the steel or materials at all. What Tou Can Do If you are an oil consumer, you can help get the country through- this crisis. You can do it by practic ing honest-to-goodness Scotch econ omy this winter. This voluntary way will prevent government interven tion and rationing, which would only make matters worse. Rationing would bring hoarding and ruin pres ent fair distribution channels. The industry through enterprise will continue to put out the goods. Solv ing problems this way, America will continue to be a great and strong nation.

Be An “Engineer in Good Eating”—Do Home Canning! Simple Instruttions Based •n 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 pme, after 16 years' work, but his methods and equipment have been greatly im proved upon. He labored under many handicaps, not knowing a tempera ture beyond boiling is required for processing some foods and having to design his own glass jars. Not until 1860 did Louis Pasteur estab lish the fact that microorganisms are responsible for food spoilage. Four teen years later, an American, A. K. Shriver of Baltimore, invented the “retort” or “pressure” cooker. In 1858 John Mason patented the Mason jar with neck designed for receiving a screw type cap. The Mason jar with porcelain-lined line cap is an old reliable. Mason would probably be astounded by the 1947 cap for sealing the Mason jar. This new style cap is a two-piece metal affair with a Dome lid which ha» 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 becbme 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.

Personally, we don’t believe she will. At the same time, we are of the opinion that the Democratic majority is going to be extremely unall when compared to what it has been in the past. Onr observation is that the peo- Dle of North Carolina don’t want Harry Truman to be President during the next four years. This applies to the leaders of the Dem ocratic party in the state as well as it applies to the average voter. - Despite this feeling on their part, however, most of them will vote the national Democratic tick et because of ‘‘party loyalty.” Back in 1 9 2 8 the state went Re publican because the voters didn’t want Al Smith in the White House. You can say what yen please about that election but the fact remains that the principal rea son why Smith was defeated in North Carolina was due to bis re- ligien. There is no “religious issue” involved so far as Truman is coucerned, and this fact may help him to carry the state. As we have just said, however, his majority isn’t going to be anything to brag about. Democratic candidates for state offices undoubtedly will wiu out without much difficulty, although here again you are liable to see smaller majorities than usual. Indications are that we will have a larger number of Republicans in the State Legislature next year than we have had during the last six or sessions.—The State. Building Prices Says the Statesville Landmark: "There is a possibility that a year from now construction costs may be down as much as ten per cent with further declines coming late-. On $1,5 0 0 ,0 0 0 school construction program, such a saving would be quite considerable. When it i considered that cost of building are up 2 6 0 per cent over prewa , the expectation of such a declin is not unreasonable. The $1 5 0. 0 0 0 saved would build an extra school where it is needed,” Ba gome communities might lose by saving; arm Methods Suggested For Treating Lice Second Application Is Generally Necessary The poultry grower has a choice of several effective methods for treat ing lice. Which one he uses will de pend on his preference or the^avail- ability of remedies, according to Washington State college. Whatever method is used, birds should be examined 10 days to two weeks after treatment to see if any lice still are present. Louse eggs are not always de stroyed by the treatment used, and these will hatch later. A second % Mass of body-louse eggs at tached to feathers. treatment usually is necessary and should be applied about two weeks after the first treatment. One method is to fumigate with a 40 per cent nicotine sulfate solution. In this case directions of the manu facturer should be followed. Lice powder also is effective. These may be DDT, nicotine sulfate or commercial sodium fluoride or sodium fluosilicate. These may be applied by the pinch method. It con sists of placing on the skin of each fowl about 10 pinches, rubbing into the breast, each thigh, below the vent, on each side of the back, on the neck and head and on the under side of each outspread wing. The fowls also may be dusted, sprayed with dusting material or dipped in a solution. In some parts of the coun try louse ointments are widely used. Com Production Many things are required to pro duce 100 bushels of com per acre. The growing crop must have plenty of nitrogen, phosphate, potash and other plant nutrients. A shortage of any will hold down yields and lower the quality and feeding value of the crop. So the use of fertilizer is vital. For high corn yields, the soil must store water for drouth periods. The accompanying chart shows how much of these it takes to produce 100 bushels of corn. Organic matter is especially important. While not a FOR 100 BUSHELS OF CORN -U THE SOIL MUST DELIVER 8 HlUlON LU 0» w a rn Nitrogen, phosphate and potash are.the most important plant nu trients for growing corn. plant food, it is essential to crop production. Organic matter im proves tilth and keeps the soil loose and open. It is a sponge that soaks up water readily for crops to “drink” in dry spells. It allows air to reach roots and soil bacteria. Or ganic m atter can be built up by growing deep-rooted legumes and grasses frequently In the rotation. To get good stands, liming based on soil tests and a generous feeding of phosphate and potash are needed. Organic mattfer can be replenished, too, by returning barnyard manure, straw and com stalks to the land. When plant food, good tilth, organic matter and other soil conservation measures are combined into a team, maximum com production per acre is assured. Cotton Is Most Popular Of Mattress Materials Solid-filled mattresses derive their comfort from the natural resiliency of their filling materials. The great est percentage of these ate filled with cotton. The best ones are filled with long-fibered cotton which has been felted into layers. The cheaper ones—the ones into which short cot ton fibers are blown, or the plater mattress which has loose fibers in the center with a few felted cotton layers above and beneath—tend to m at down, developing lumps and depressions. High quality curled hair makes a good mattress for anyone who pre fers a very firm sleep foundation. Horse tail and cattle tail hair are best, with horse mane second. Hog hair is rather stiff and less resilient. Kapok, which comes from the pod of a tropical tree, makes a soft, light, easy to handle mattress. How ever, kapok fiber is extremely per ishable and there is little demand for kapok mattresses today. Rubber mattresses are made from the milk of rubber trees which has been whipped into a foam-like substance. Most of them are only four inches thick and require a deeper than standard bedspring. They are expensive and still too new for cumulative consumer reaction to be obtained. First Bolf Factory Used Bull for Power Source The main source of power in America’s only bolt factory in 1839 was a bull, patiently walking the treadmill which operated the forge bellows. Micah Rugg had invented a machine to help in the manufac ture of bolts. It was a crude thing, still involving plenty of hand work, but it was the beginning of a mighty industry in this country. For some years before 1839, Rugg had been the village blacksmith for Marion, Conn. Using methods hand ed down through generations, he had made carriage bolts so success fully that he decided to give all his time to their manufacture. He was a shrewd Connecticut Yankee, who realized that he must make in quan tities and sell cheaply to be success ful, and with this in mind- he set about developing his machines. Two heading machines and, a year later, a threading machine crowned his labors. Fortunately, in Stamford, Conn., was an iron works. It was probably from here that Rugg bought his bars of puddled wrought iron, the only metal considered usable for car riage bolts. It wasn't long before he was making 500 of these fasteners a day. Aid to Oil and Gasoline Peak output of gasoline and fuel oil can be maintained by adding antiseptics to the water used in re fineries, for cooling purposes, it has been reported to American Chemi cal society. The slime formed by water-borne bacteria in a single month can reduce operating capac ity 25 per cent by clogging pipes. Small amounts of chlorine, phenol or other bactericidal chemicals in the water keeps the equipment almost entirely free from choking slime for as long as four months. Bacteria themselves comprise only about 25 per cent of the deposit, the rest con sisting of minerals and debris en trapped in the slime. Practical ex perience indicates that formation of slime can be observed continuously without halting plant operation by checking the cooling efficiency of the water pipes, according to the report Schools Face Crisis The nation’s public schools are facing their worst financial crisis since the "depression. The dilemma confronting local school boards in volves mainly the crippling of con struction programs by inflation and cost-of-living pay raises for teach ers. Record enrollments in most schools are making construction a matter of special urgency. Further, a five-million increase in the na tion's elementary school population is expected during the next decade as a result of the 40 per cent rise in the U. S. birthrate since the war ended. Horsepower Increases Total horsepower available in the nation’s factories has climbed from about 50,452,000 in 1939 to a present high of 68,000,000, reports SKF in dustries. Scores of mechanized servants such as lift trucks, cranes and hoists that reduce handling of materials to a minimum have had hard physical labor irrevocably ob solete in industry. The handling of materials now accounts for only about 18 per cent of the industry’s production costs, as compared with 22 per cent a decade ago. Microwaves Demonstrate Nature of Light and Radio Microwaves, made famous by ra dar, provide the teacher with the simplest means of demonstrating the nature of light and radio waves, C. L. Andrews, New York State Col lege for Teachers, told the conven tion of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Light waves are a hundredth of a hairs breadth long. To observe wave effects in light, the student must squint through a microscope eyepiece into some ingenious de vice. Radio waves are a few thou sand feet long. To study their wave effects, a laboratory the size of the state of Texas with a roof 100 miles high is required. Wave effects of microwaves are man-sized, conveniently spread out on a laboratory table to be meas ured with an ordinary ruler. With the aid of a hand-sized transmitter and a hand-sized intensity meter, reflection, refraction, interference, diffraction and polarization of waves are to be demonstrated. Fading of radio signals due to in terference between the direct wave and that reflected from* the Ken- nelly-Heaviside layer is simulated with the transmitter and receiver a few feet apart and a wire screen used to represent the ionosphere. Viking ‘Wineland’ Landing Placed in Massachusetts A possible location of the Viking “Wineland” was at the mouth of the Merrimack river in northern Mas sachusetts, is the conclusion reached by Dr. John R. Swanton, Smith sonian institute, after an intensive study of the Icelandic sagas. Dr. Swanton brings to the identi fication of the Norse landings in North America about the year 1000 the experience of a lifetime in re constructing the trail of De Soto across the southern United States. Wineland was the southernmost of the temporary Norse settlements. The sagas leave little doubt that it was a well-wooded country where wild grapes were found and where there was an abundance of grain. Furthermore, the landing was in the mouth of some tidal river which, a little way inland, broadened into what was described as a lake. The mouth of the Merrimack, he found, checked better with the confusion of often conflicting data than any other site along the New England coast. Other Norse landings most probably were on the southern coast of Labra dor, where there is a general agree ment of the topography with the confused descriptions. Soldiers of Genghis Khan Carried Dried Milk Ration To Marco Polo is attributed the description of a dried milk made by the Tartars during the 13th century. He reported that the soldiers of Genghis Khan were said to have carried dried milk as a part of their ration, according to Jack A. Wright in the Oregon State Agriculture bul letin. Next mention of dried milk in tab let form came in 181Q. It was made by the French scientist, Nicolas Ap- pert, from milk concentrated slowly to a dough-like consistency in a cur rent of dry air. The first process utilized for manufacture on a com mercial scale was that invented by Grimwade, about 1853. The perfec tion of milk drying processes for commercial use dates back to about the same period, the last half of the 19th century, as does that of com mercially practicable processes of milk condensing. In most cases the inventors of processes for the one product were not unmindful of the possibilities of the other. In the United States the first suc cessful dried milk manufactured on a commercial scale was malted milk, with this product placed on the market in 1887. This product ,also contained an extract of barley and wheat flour paste. Dangers In Scrap Metals Recent investigation of ferrous Scrap metals destined to and on hand at steel mills reveals that explosives • contaminated scrap is filtering into commercial scrap channels despite stringent measures being taken by the army to prevent this situation. Investigation indicates that the contaminated material pos sibly is being obtained by pilferage of scrap items from practice ranges on military installations throughout the United States. This situation also may be the result of discarded war trophies having entered commercial channels through sale as scrap met al. The danger involved in handling explosives-contaminated scrap by persons hot acquainted with mili tary munitions is great, army offi cials say. A harmless looking piece of metal can result in the loss of life or the permanent crippling of innocent people.

Our County And Sodal Security By Mrs. Ruth G. Duffy," Manager. Benefits from Social Security that you and your family will get when you retire, and benefits your family will get if you die depend on the correctness of your social security account and yonr under, standing of it. At least once every four years yen should check on your account, because after four years some errors cannot be corrected. It is especially advisadle to check if you have worked for short periods, for a number of employers, for a firm that was in business only a short time, or for an employer, who did not deduct the r per cent, social security tax from your pay. Your understanding of just what social security is all about may be raiber vague and limited. Perhaps the following questions and answ. ers will help you to protect your- se'f and your family. How long must you work to get retirement benefits? You must have be, n paid { 5 0 in wages in covered johs approximately half the time between Tanuary 1, 1 9 3 7 or your twenty-first birthday, if that were later and the date on which you reach 6 5 , whichever is earlier. Are social security benefits au tomatic? No, you must file a claim before you get a- monthly check. Your benefits may be retroactive for only three months before the mnnth in which application Is filed. Are benefits available to your family upon your death if you have social security protection? Yts. if they meet certain qualify, tng conditions. Does your family have to pay anyone to get benefits? No, the office of the social security Ad ministration will give, free of rl-arge, all the help they need in fi'ing a claim. How soon should your family file tbeir claim, if you should die? Promptly. Survivors benefits are retroactive for only three months. Where should your claim, if you are 6 5 , or that of your family, in case of your death, be filed? With the Social Security Administration office, located in Room 4 3 7, Nisseu B'dg , Winston—Salem, N. C. I will be in Mocksville on April 2 8th at 1 2 :3 0 on tbe 2nd floor of the Courthouse.

S. this inter play of forces had all the ingredients of an epic poem—the power of good striving mightily to overcome the power of evil, with the fate of a large segment of mankind depend ing on outcome of the struggle. There was an epic quality, too, in the manner in which congress, seem ingly impelled by a strong Sense of urgency, raced the bill through for final action. The house approved it with a vote of 318 to 75 after less than 15 minutes of explanation, and the senate followed up swiftly with a voice vote. Two days after passage of the measure President Truman meshed the gears of the global aid program by ordering the reconstruction fi nance corporation to advance 1.16 billion dollars at once. That action released U. S. dollars, reconstruction supplies and in some cases arms to 15 European nations, as well as Tur- Key, western Germany, Trieste and China. The overall $3,098,000,000 aid pack age includes 4.3 billion dollars for the European recovery program, 275 million dollars for military assist ance to Greece and Turkey, 463 mil lion for China and 2 million dollars for Trieste. AU of it is aimed at areas where communists are sharp ening their sword of aggression. An ill-starred movement in the house to include aid to Franco Spain in the bill was defeated before it had time to do much damage to U.S. prestige and moral stature abroad. As the aid started to move, the situation abroad stacked up some thing like this: Russia’s seizure of Czechoslovakia, its new pact with Finland and pres sure on Scandinavian nations, the Soviets’ arbitrary action in Berlin all pointed to the fact that Moscow was trying to bring about a show down in Europe before the Euro pean recovery plan began to work effectively. On the other hand, the rapid pas sage of the foreign aid measure, the proposal to return Trieste to Italy and the stiffening of American* wiU in Berlin seemed to . indicate that the U.S., while not forcing a show-' down, was, nevertheless, willing to have it as soon as possible. Few persons familiar with the situation thought that a showdown with Russia necessarily meant war. But it did involve acceptance of a risk of war. U.S. leaders were wiU- ing to take that risk on the theory that the likelihood of a shooting war is less now than it might be in the foreseeable future. R E D U C T IO N : Tax Measure President Truman’s veto of the income tax reduction bill was crush- ingly overridden by both houses of congress—311 to 88 in the house, 77 to 10 in the senate—and U.S. citi zens sat back to gloat over the first major tax-cutting measure passed in nearly 20 years. In his now characteristic “I’d rather be right than be president’’ role, Mr. Truman had stubbornly affixed his veto to the bill, protest ing that it mainly would benefit pre- sons with incomes of $5,000 or more, encourage further inflation and sap the nation’s strength at a time of international “danger.” Examination of the new tax struc-. ture indicated that the President was right in his first contention, at least —that the law would be of greater benefit to persons with high incomes than to those in lower brackets. Reason for that is that 12.6 per cent of $3,000 is considerably less than 5 per cent of a million. (Cuts in tax rates as provided by the new law range from 12.6 per cent in the lowest brackets to 5 per cent in Ifee top level.) Most interesting aspect of the tax cut development was the question of what motivated Mr. Truman to veto the bill. He was aware that enough members of both houses were sup porting tax reduction in this election year to override his veto; hence, that his veto would be a gesture of fu tility that would place him on record as opposing the popular will. Mr. Truman must have been aware, also, of the strong possibility WhoVMad? Nobody seemed to be mad at anybody when Gov. William M. Tuck of Virginia and President Trnman met at convocation exer cises at William and Mary college, Williamsburg, Va., to receive hon orary degrees of doctor of laws. Mr. Truman exchanged a cordial handshake with Governor Tuck, vociferous leader of the southern states’ rebellion on the President’s civil rights program. that next year congress, safely through the elections, will boost fed eral income by reimposing some version of the wartime excess profits tax, In view of these unpretty but in escapable realities, the President’s veto of the tax bill simply did not fit the preconceived pattern of political action in an election year. Rather, it looked more like the deliberate driving of another nail in his politi cal coffin. In his veto message, Mr. Truman contended that increased defense and foreign aid measures might make it necessary for congress to raise taxes next year. “In the case of the income tax,” he said, “nearly 40 per cent of the reduction would go to individuals with net incomes in excess of $5,000, who constitute less than 5 per cent of all taxpayers.” Also, the President continued, while national income is high every effort should be made to reduce the size of the 253-billion-dollar public' debt. He was, beyond doubt, sincere in his objections, but they fell on deaf ears in congress. A P O L O G IA : From Russia Even as Russia officially ex pressed regret over the “unfortu nate” British-Soviet plane crash over Berlin which cost 15 lives, plain people all over the world began to see more clearly how, although no nation is seeking war now, a war could start accidentally. A pilot of a Russian fighter plane had buzzed a British plane, carrying 14 passengers, as it was landing in Berlin. The transport crashed in the Russian zone where the wreck age lay for 12 hours before the bodies were permitted to be moved. Tension in Berlin eased somewhat when British officials accepted the Russian apology and canceled plahs to assign fighter plane escorts to all air transports coming into Berlin. The official British account.of the crash quoted eyewitnesses as saying that the Russian fighter pilot was “frolicking” when he hit the big plane. While the fighter pilot undoubtedly had not been ordered to harrass the British plane, it was equally appar ent that he and his cohorts had not been forbidden to do so. Aside from the number of lives lost, the disturbing part of the inci dent is that it was, in a ,manner of speaking, an aggressive action, an overt act of deliberate provocation. And it is just such incidents as that that world leaders fear might one day touch off the conflagration. Headliners IN MANILA, P. I. . . .

MODERN MOTORCADE Cars on R oad H it H istoric Figure Number of passenger cars on the road in the U.S. today is at an all- time high, according to an article in the April edition of “Business Comment,” bulletin of Northern Trust company. This is true despite the fact that no passenger cars were manufac tured for private use during the war, that an estimated average of 1.2 million p a s s e n g e r cars were scrapped or put into storage yearly during the same period, and that postwar production has not yet ex ceeded the best prewar years, the bulletin stated. Latest available figures indicate a total of 27.5 million passenger cars registered in the U.S. on JiUy I, 1947, the article reported. Britain Will Fifht Reds ONE ALL-IMPORTANT Q U E S TION debated by war chiefs dur ing recent defense discussions was whether Great Britain would throw its weight with the U. S. in case of a Red army sweep across Europe. It is no secret that there has been strong sentiment in war-weary Brit ain for sitting out the next War. Five years of buzz-bombs and living in air-raid shelters have made a lot of Britishers feel that neutrality may be’the best policy. Incidentally this opinion is also widely held by many Frenchmen, Belgians, Dutch and other conti nentals. The answer to this question was all-important to U. S. defense plan ners. They had to figure out in ad vance whether the United States would be able to have air bases near the European continent. With the Red army probably sweeping to the English Channel in a few weeks in case of war, Britain and Spain would be the only potential bases usable by the United States. However, definite word has now been given the United States by the British government that, if Russia attacks, Britain will fight. British bases will be available to American bombers. # * * Kavajss Own Vaiiiafele Land IT NOW LOOKS AS IF the pov erty-stricken Navajo Indians, .trying to scratch a precarious living from the wastelands of Arizona and New Mexico, may own one of the most priceless pieces of property in the U. S. For some time our chief worry in production of atomic energy was the fact that all uranium deposits lay outside the United States. However, it now appears that the Navajos have been tending their pitiful flocks above a hidden atomic treasure. For, upon the Navajo reservation in the upper corner of Arizona and New Mexico, the Vanadium Corporation of America has been quietly extract ing uranium. Farther details regarding this operation must remain a military secret. One amazing fact can be revealed. So far, the Navajos haven’t received one penny for the uranium taken from their land. Instead, the profits have been raked in by the Vanadium corpora tion. The price which the atomic energy commission is paying the Vanadium corporation for uranium also is se cret, but a member of the joint congressional committee on atomic energy predicted that the metal may become almost as precious as dia monds. Since the richest deposits are all outside the United States and could be cut off in case of war, this domestic supply becomes all the more valuable. But the Navajos, sitting on one of nature’s jackpots, so far haven’t been able to collect a cent. Reason for this again is largely obscured by secrecy, and only part of the story can be told within the limits of na tional security. For one thing, uranium does not exist in its pure form on the reserva tion but must be extracted as a by product from vanadium. The only leases to dig for vanadium on Navajo territory—six in all—are held by the Vanadium corporation. These leases specify that the Indians will be paid 10 per cent royalty on all' mineral compounds—except vanadium com pounds. In the latter case, the royalty is stipulated as 10 per cent of the vanadium oxide, a metal used to toughen steel. Since uranium is part of the raw vanadium ore until processed, the company conceiv ably might get away with paying royalty only on the comparatively valueless vanadium oxide, not on the other raw vanadium out of which uranium comes. The Indian service takes the view that uranium is a separate metal apart from vanadium, therefore is subject to the full 10 per cent royalty fee.* * .* Stalin's Gigaretfe Case COMRADE ANDREIGROMYKO, Russia’s dour-faced ambassador to the United Nations, always looks as •if he had a grouch on when snapped by photographers. Actually, he has a sense of humor. Or so a fellow diplomat found when he told Gro myko this story. At Yalta, Winston Churchill took out his handsome gold cigarette case and offered Stalin and FDR a cigarette. The cigarette case evoked considerable admiration — especially the inscription: “To Winston from his colleagues in the house of com mon's.” A little later Roosevelt took out his cigarette case and offered the con ferring statesmen a cigarette. His case also evoked admiration, includ ing the inscription which read: “To FDR from the boys on Capitol Hill.” Next it was Stalin’s turn to flash a diamond-studded cigarette case. Its inscription read; “To Count Szecheny from his friends at the jockey club.” Gromyko listened carefully, roared with laughter. WaShiiVQton D iffeS u U . S. H a s B est O p p o r tu n ity T o E n force P e a c e in W o r ld Value of the Little Fish The little ones didn’t get away! That is what Secretary of the In terior Julius A. Krug is explaining as he spreads the mesh of one of the 90-foot nets used by commercial fishermen of the New England coast. “Fifteen million baby haddock that didn’t get away,” says Krug, who as. interior secretary is likewise re sponsible for keeping a government eye on America’s fish and wildlife, “would have been worth a million and a half dollars to New England’s fishermen from March to mid-Octo ber of last year They were caught in ordinary nets, killed and dis carded.” If the little haddock had man aged to get away, they probably would have grown up, been caught this year and sold by the same fishermen for a million and a half dollars.” This was one of the tilings I learned aboard the Albatross III, only floating laboratory possessed by the Umted States, which goes into service this spring. She started out By BAUKHAGE JVetcs Analyst and Commentator Once again we face the high cost of savagery—or preventing it —depending on how you put it. Billions more to run the government and the world, and to cover a stepped-up defense program. Talk of a 10 per cent increase in the budget for next year seems logical. As one cyiiic remarked, in the next w ar perhaps we ought to try to get on the losing side, and let the victors support us for a change. Discussion of the details and cost of a selective service and universal military training program has been going on for some time. Sentiment against drafting husbands and G.I.’s seems to be crystallizing. It would seem that G.I.’s might be fairly good material in an emer gency without having to learn the general orders over again, and with out having to reacquire precision in bringing the right hand smartly to the cap brim or lying down within a reasonable period before the arrival of a machine gun bullet. As to the husbands—they aren’t entirely expendable, of course—all of sgpfl' them. Probably the IT .'.j most effective thing I _ nfH- congress could have done was to vote.im mediately for imme diate registration for everyone. The age brackets and exemp tions, after all, could be settled later. If the emergency aris es or even approch- es—we can talk de tails. That is the Kina oi emergency we face, and no sacrifice would be too great to prevent it. Right now proof of our willingness to act is most important. Contrary to the general assump tion that all we need is a few push button experts and professors of nuclear science, any war that might come from now on would require a more extensive mobiliza tion of civilian as well as soldier than anything which has preceded it. Meantime, there is a better chance to establish a solid and stable peace than there ever has been. The Unit ed States has a better opportunity to enforce peace than any nation ever had. We could, with compara tively small sacrifice, start a pre paredness program to prevent the “imbalance” of power against us, as they say in diplomatic language. In other words we could, without danger of actual conflict; since there is no power NOW (not tomorrow or next year, but NOW) strong enough to threaten us, establish a Pax Americana. And with the will to peace that exists in the world today, we could use that situation, not as the Pax Romana or the Pax Brit- tanica was used—to create enemies —but to build an effective Pax Uni- versa. America, in its strength, could well afford to yield sovereignty to an international force. A period of tranquillity, enforced if neces sary, is what the world needs; time to reflect. Rome and Britain did bring a long peace of sorts; we can establish a longer one— one long enough, perhaps, to build a permanent one. The principle is simple—as a col league of mine is fond of saying— “nobody tries to pick a fight with Joe Lewis.” Early statements were made to the effect that it would cost an addi tional 480 millions over what already has been budgeted for universal mil itary training. We now spend 650 million dollars a year on cosmetics. And the total time used in applying them, according to my private sta tisticians, divided into manhours of military training, leaves a generous surplus for home-work. I do not mean to treat lightly the world situation and the idea of a Pax Americana is not an empty one. It is, in fact, the only kind of a peace we can be sure of until we have time to stabilize world con ditions, until there is a fairer di vision of the bread, and the se curity in which to earn it and eat it; a cessation of the fear, suffer ing and anxiety which make men trade their heritage of freedom for the empty promise of protection at any price. I sympathize with the people who oppose militarism in any form; but I do not accept as a valid syllogism: Militarism is bad; military training in America is militarism; therefore, military training in America is bad. Military training in Germany (the classic example) was the result of militarism, not its cause. Military training in America is no more re lated to German militarism than a hot dog is brother to a Dachshund. Baukhage interviews Interior Secretary Julius A. Krug aboard the floating fish laboratory “Alba tross III” in Boston harbor. as a regular commercial trawler, was drafted, transformed into a member of the coast guard’s Atlantic patrol, discharged and now is equip ped to do exactly the work com mercial fishermen do, plus a lot more (by her crew of scientists) which will help the fishermen do better. One of the tasks of the fish ex perts is to see if anything can be figured out which will save the wast age created by catching the fish too young and thus preventing them from growing up to be caught and sold another year. The mesh in the net in the picture is four and a half inches instead of the standard three-and-a-half meas urement. Experiments have shown that use of the larger mesh saves 80 per cent of the under-sized fish, and does not reduce the size of the catch of the larger, marketable fish. But the commercial fishermen have to be shown. One of the many tasks of the Alba tross III is to prove by actual demon stration that this is true. It is a big job. And the department of the in terior has a big man at the head of it. The dwarf in the photograph to whom Krug is talking (according to figures on my White House pass pro vided by the secret service) is 5 feet, 11 inches tall—and I am standing on my two feet, not kneeling. • * * Few Americans sipping their cof fee, says Mid-America Informatiofr bureau, know that the berries from which it is made look a good deal like cherries.

Very seldom do pearls found in oysters by diners have any value. If the oyster was cooked, you can be sure the pearl is practically worthless. 5. Not a thing.

C., APRIL 28. .948 Young Farmer Has Chance to Start Knowledge and Training Essential for Success More than the usual number of places are available for young men to get started in farming in 1948, according to Prof. C. A. Bratton of Cornell university. Many farmers are ready to turn their farms over to young men, or are looking for a young man to work for wages on a profit-sharing basis. Farming in the years ahead, ac cording to Bratton, will provide a good living for the young man who is well trained, properly financed and located on good lands. Educa tion and experience will be even more important for farming in the future than it has been in the past. Starting farming in a period of in flated prices requires caution. Un usually high prices for livestock and machinery and high land values make it important to start without heavy indebtedness. Working as a Time and again 4-H club mem bers have proved that their train ing well fits them to successfully operate farms of their own. hired man in a farm partnership or share renting are ways a young man with limited capital can be come established without a heavy debt load.

Record Low DsaIh Rate Estimated for Past Year American life insurance policy holders probably will record the best health year in history in 1947, the Institute of Life Insurance re ports, early estimates pointing to the lowest death rate ever recorded! This was accomplished despite new high death rate records being set in the two leading causes of death, heart disease and cancer. During the past year, policy holder deaths from influenza and pneumonia, tuberculosis and chil dren’s diseases dropped to a record low rate. While these three classifi cations combined accounted for one- third of all policyholder deaths 35 years ago, this past year they repre sented fewer than one-twelfth. Both children’s diseases and the influenza and pneumonia classifica tion showed 1947 death rates at about one-half those of prewar years.

Simple Instructions Based •a Sdeoee You may not have a degree a* an engineer, Mrs. Housewife, but when' you’re home canning you’re using' scientific principles just as surely as' a mining, chemical, electrical or other engineer. That is, if you fol low glass jar manufacturer’s instruc tions, for they are based upon scien tific discoveries made over a period of a century and a half. Back in Napoleon’s time, a Paris confectioner, Nicolas Appert, set out to find a method of food preserva tion and, win a 12,000-franc prize offered in 1795 by the French gov ernment. Napoleon, like Frederick the Great, believed an army travels on its stomach, and the folks at home got hungry and discontented too! Nicolas won the prize, after 16 years’ work, but his methods and equipment have been greatly im proved upon. He labored under many handicaps, not knowing a tempera ture beyond boiling is required for processing some foods and having to design his own glass jars. Not until 1860 did Louis Pasteur estab lish the fact that microorganisms are responsible for food spoilage. Four teen years later, an American, A. K- Shriver of Baltimore, invented the ‘‘retort’’ or “pressure” cooker. In 1858 John Mason patented the Mason jar with neck designed for receiving a screw type cap. The Mason jar with porcelain-lined zinc cap is an old reliable. Mason would probably be astounded by the 1947 cap for sealing the Mason jar. This new style cap is a two-piece metal affair with a Dome lid which has sealing compound on the under side and is tested for seal by pressing on the center of the 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 iid 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.
