Army News Members of the Enlisted Reserve Corps, United States Armv, who volunteer for a nine or twelve month tour of duty at one ot the five Armv and Air Force Recruting Stations in tbe Carolinas will be given the privilege of obtaining a discharge from the Enlisted Reserve Corps for the propose of enlisting In the Regular Army or Air Force at any time during, or at the end of, their tour of active duty, according to a statement issued today by Capt. W. E. Cooper, commanding officer of the Winston-Salem Recruiting Station. "In addition to receiving the same pay and allowances of the Regular Army men on iecruiting duty’’, said the Captain, ,.these Enlisted Reservists wilt be on equal basis with-the Regulars in regard to any promotions which are made while they are on active duty. The active duty time will also be included, in addition to previous wartime service, in determining tbe grade these men may obtain in the Regular Army if they decide 10 make the Army a permanent ca reer.” The Captain futfaer stated that one of the most attractive factors in this offer to members of the EKC is the $105.00 per month for rations and quarters, which will be paid in addition to Regular Army pay. Due to this additional allowance, a Private First Class with no depen ents or longevity would draw no* less than $185 00 per month. It he is married, or has other depen dents, he would be entitled to fam ily allowances. This basic pay would, of course, be increased ac cording to the grade the man holds In the Enlisted Reserve Corps and the longevity pay for which he qualifies Time spent in the" ERC on inactive duty is included in de termining longevity pay. Capt. Cooper said that June 20 has been set as a deadline for the recall of Enlisted Reservists for this duty so he urges interested men to contact the local recruiting station at once for full particulars.

Loams, silt loams and clay loams need large amounts of organic m atter in the plow layer and deeper to keep them open and loose for high crop production.

These compactions slow down the intake of water. They cut down the amount of water and air the soil will hold for crop use. They keep the fibrous roots of corn and small grain "upstairs" away from water and plant food held deeper in the soil. Temporary relief can be had by using machines 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 legumes 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 water. 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 water 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. S. were broken when an average of $2,267.39 was paid for 23 Scottish bred Ayr- shires imported and sold by Frank V. Lile of Bellefontaine, Ohio. The sale grossed $52,150. A new record price for Ayrshire bull calves was set at $4,600 by Howard Baum and Sons of Paint Valley farm, Bainbridge, Ohio, in the purchase of eight-months-old Killoeh Gay Spark (above). Increased Yields Noted With Use of Fertilizer Wheat yields can be stepped up 7 to 14 bushels per acre and the hay crop_ can be increased through use of more fertilizer in hay and pasture crops seeded in small grains, de clares Dr. D. R. Dodd of the Ohio experiment station. This practice is particularly profit able on land already highly produc tive, Dodd points out. As an exam ple, he cites tests made by research men on plots at the Ohio station. The land’s producing capacity already had been- built up by good soil man agement so that it was produc ing an average of 85 bushels of corn, 23 bushels of wheat and 3 tons of hay per acre. In the tests, a 2-12-6 fertilizer was applied at increasing rates to wheat. I") OWN in Alabama, old Uncle Pete Houston, farmer, stock raiser and horse trader, enjoyed go ing to the county seat each month on court day to transact his mani fold business operations. While there, he stopped at the home of his old friend, Seymour Howland. One court day, night came on without the appearance of Uncle Pete at the Howland residence, and his old sidekick, Seymour, began to worry about him. It wasn’t until well along in the evening that Uncle Pete came stomping up on the How land veranda. He explained that he had been delayed swapping horses with Jake Mashby. “Jake Mashby!” yelled Seymour. “Don’t you know that fellow is the biggest crook in the South? And you have been dumb enough to swap horses with him in the dark. Well, I can tell you, without looking at the horse you’ve got, that he ain’t worth a tarnation.” “Seymour,” rejoined- the veteran trader, “I’ll admit that I don’t know much about the horse I’ve got; but I shore do know a powerful lot about the one I got rid of!” Slightly Mixed Up' The Smiths wheeled their baby in a perambulator that was something of a family heirloom. It had once belonged to the baby’s own father. The fact thrilled little Annie, a neighbor’s daughter. Rushing into the house and but tonholing her mother, she cried: “Just think, Mother. Mrs. Smith wheels her baby in the very same carriage she once used to wheel her husband in!” TRICK SHOT An eminent clergyman visiting Port Huron was golfing on a local course, and for his caddy had a lad full of spice and ginger. At the first too, the reverend gen tleman asked the caddy how far it was to the first hole, and the caddy replied: “Three hundred and fifty yards, parson.” “Oh,” remarked the clergyman, “just a drive and a putt.” He teed up his ball, took his stance, and then, waggling his club a bit, he finally drove the pill about 20 yards down the course. The caddy hitched up his trousers and peered out over the fairway. “Reverend,” he finally remarked, "that’s gonna be one heck of a putt.” A Wild Country Charles M. Schwab, while getting some steel contracts in Great Brit ain once, was asked concerning a young man who had been with him on a previous visit. “I’m sorry,” replied the steel magnate, “but he was killed by a revolving crane.” “My word,” gasped the Britisher in flabbergasted amazement.

U. S.-Treasury B epartm ent New Chemical Curbs Many Fruit Pests Tests Show Fungieitlo Effective in Orchard Characterized as effective against a wide range of fruit pests and dis eases, a new dinitro fungicide and insecticide for orchard use now is available commercially under the trade name of DN-289. It is a stable, clear solution containing eight ounces actual dinitro-secbutyl- phenol in each quart and is readily miscible with water. DN-289 has proved effective as an insecticide for use in the dormant period against a variety of insects such as rosy apple aphid, currant aphid, black cherry aphid, mealy plum aphid and viburnum aphid, eye-spotted bud moth, cherry case- bearer, pear psylla and oyster shell scale on apple and lilac. Promising results also have been shown in con trol of San Jose scale, scurfy scale and the eggs of the European red mite. As a fungicide, DN-289 has been used successfully for control of sooty blotch on pears. Amount of the compound required to attain good control ranges from Photo shows an apple protected by DN-289 (left) and cluster at tacked by rosy apple aphid. one quart to two quarts in 100 gal lons of water. Aphids are controlled with one quart while two quarts are needed to kill bud moths, case-bear- er and the pear psylla. Heavier con centrations may be needed to con trol oyster shell scale. Research workers are conducting extensive tests to find other insects and diseases that may be controlled with the chemical, which was devel oped by the Dow Chemical company. Packaging of Poultry Is New Development Farm ers of tomorrow must be poultry merchandisers as well as producers if they are to compete suc cessfully with the new “broiler fac tories.” Progressive poultry raisers must keep attuned to the times if they are to meet the challenge of new developments in the industry. Within a short time the consumer will have a wide range of selection for poultry and m eat products. This will necessitate better merchandis ing on the part of tbe individual poultryman. One of the principal means of meeting this challenge is for the poultry raiser to start selling chick ens under brand names in an effort to promote his product for the time when consumers again will be “choosy.” To accomplish this, good packag ing is essential. Modern transparent Good packaging, as demon strated by this cellophane-wrapped chicken, is good advertising. packaging of ready-to-eat- poultry will increase sales and profits. Tests conducted with the same grade of poultry, half being sealed In flexible packages, the others with out covering, proved that demand for the packaged birds was one to three times as large as for the un wrapped ones. For packaging, cellophane, trans parent regenerated cellulose film or a rubber hydrochloride film are avail able. They are moisture-proof, air proof, strong, flexible and resistant to liquid and grease, .

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Uneasy Truce Prevails in Palestine; No Talks With Russia, Trnman Says; Draft Machinery Set to Begin Work ____________By Bill Schoentgen, WNU Staff W riter_________ (GDITOBfS NOTE: When opinions are expressed In these columns, they are those of W estern Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) HOLD FIRE Still No Peace For a little while the dove of peace drifted over Palestine on frayed and weary wing as Arab and Israeli armies were observing, more or less loosely, a four-week truce in the war for possession of the Holy Land. At best the United Nations-super- vised truce agreement was a fret ful and uneasy affair. Before the four-week mediation period was two days old both Arabs and Jews had begun charging each other with violations of the pact. Count Folke Bernadette, U.N. truce negotiator, was investigating the accusations, but it looked very much as though another security council cease-fire order might go unloved, unhonored and unobeyed. Actually, it is difficult to see how any synthetically imposed truce could succeed in Palestine. There are no basic grounds upon which a genuine interruption of hostilities could rest. Both sides profess mili tary proficiency and the ability to keep on fighting and winning. And more important, each side is fanatically opposed to modifying its demands: Israel is determined to retain its sovereignty and to have unlimited immigration of Jews into the state. The Arabs are just as determined to erase the state of Israel from the map. Thus, there is little confidence in the security council’s truce plan and its power to effect peace. And that pessimism was heightened by the knowledge that no U.N. cease fire edict has worked yet. Aside from the seriousness of the struggle for Palestine itself, deep est significance of the affair lay in the fact that it is raising once more the old question of whether any world peace organization of nations ever can succeed in the task it sets for itself—the maintenance of peace and order on earth. Pressure of world opinion—which is all the U.N. security council can bring to bear, lacking both military teeth and the power to bring eco nomic sanctions against offending nations—apparently is not going to be enough, at least in the case of Palestine. One inference which may be drawn is that the U.N. will need more power of one kind or another before it can prevail against the fetish of blind, militant nationalism that has hurled the world into two major wars already in this cenury. PRESIDENT: About Russia Forsaking for the moment the po litical whiplash he has been using on congress during his western tour, President Truman issued a major enunciation of U.S. foreign policy, bounded on all sides by an indict ment of Hussian tactics, in a speech at Berkeley, Calif. . His address was the clearest cut answer thus far made to the recent spurious but widely publicized Sov iet offer to talk over Russian- American differences and the issues of the cold war. Although the Soviet overture pat ently had been made as a last-ditch effort to derail the European re covery program and also slow down Bingo! In addition to taking rapid-fire pot shots at congress during his points west tour, President Tru man sharpened up bis target eye by blazing away at some clay pigeons on his stopover at Sun Valley, Ida. In contrast to con gressmen, the clay pigeons couldn’t snipe back. the U.S. military preparedness pro gram, it undoubtedly carried a great propaganda impact abroad and, to a smaller extent, inside the U.S. President Truman’s Berkeley speech -was a creditable reply. His theme was that the Soviet Union is acting as an aggressor and obstructor of world peace, and he postulated the theory that there is no likelihood of settling disputes be tween the two nations by negotia tion so long as Russia continues to wield international communism as a weapon to influence the course of world events. The American intent, he said, is to deal with the East-West cleavage by deeds, not propaganda. “We shall judge the policy of every nation by whether it advances or obstructs world progress toward peace and we wish our own policy to be judged by the same standard.” As a measuring stick for that principle Mr. Truman suggested that Russia begin the demonstra tion of her good intentions^ if any, by halting the perilous strife in Greece and Korea. Thus, both Americans and Rus sians know where the U.S. stood. And from this side of the ocean it looked to be as good a place as any. DRAFT: Machinery Peacetime selective service actu ally had been all but a reality for months before President Truman put his signature to the draft bill. The gears, wheels and levers of the draft machine needed but a flick of the finger to start turning out citizen-soldiers for the benefit of the nation. So much spadework has been done that the office of selective service records estimated that it could have inductees on the way in 60 to 90 days after the law becomes effec tive. Those 19-to-25 year olds eligible for service can expect something like this: There will be no hoop-la or gold fish bowl drawings. Instead of being determined by lottery the order of induction probably will be figured out according to age groups. It is likely that 21-year-olds will start the proceedings. After the registration,' all men over 21 and under 22 would be classified. Tliose not exempt would be put into Class IA as eligible for immediate induc tion. Whether the first age group selected would be exhausted before another is called up had not yet been decided. Military authorities estimate that about two out of every three men in the 19-through-25 bracket who are single and non-veterans will have to serve in the army, navy, air force or marines, either as draftees or volunteers, Roughly, there are about 1,552,000 single non veterans in that age group. The whole business will have a familiar ring for Americans who can, without half trying, remember the details connected with getting an army together for World War II. U. N. SITE: Changeable Not that it’s an original idea, but another move is reported to be get ting under way quietly to switch the United Nations headquarters from the U.S. Geneva, Switzerland, is being mentioned as the substitute site, al though nations supporting the idea are taking no open steps and are confining their efforts currently to lajing groundwork for the real drive which may be expected to emerge this fall at the Paris assembly. The whole plan might go down the drain, however, if congress were to approve the 65-million-dollar loan ti the U.N. for building the projected skyscraper headquarters in Manhattan. As usual, there is a play of forces behind the scenes on this question.- The Arab states favor moving the U.N. to Europe, primarily because they are bitter over the success Zionist Jews have had in influenc ing the U.S. Britain originally wanted a Euro pean site and might, under certain conditions, revert to that standT Russia, another question mark, is expected to grasp the opportunity to attack the U.S. for failure to keep promises should congress fail to approve the loan. INFLATION AND TAXES Vacations Cost More This Year If you haven't been on a vacation since 1940 and you are planning one for this summer, you’re probably in for a shock—the kind that makes the bankroll tingle. For depending on the kind of va cation you take and the brand of recreation you prefer, vacation costs in 1948 have jumped from 20 to 100 per cent over comparable prices in 1940, according to the fam ily economics bureau of Northwest ern -National Life Insurance com pany. For instance, a 12-day cruise from New York City to Nassau, Havana and Miami cost as little as $120 In 1940. Today the same cruise is list ed at a $218.50 minimum, an in crease of 82 per cent. Ciiy Parents Mr. and Mrs. Girard Van Bar- kaloo Hale of Santa Barbara, Calif., “adopted” the war-ravaged French village of Maille in 1946, subsequently sent 12,000 gifts of food and clothing to its inhabi tants. Now they’ve gone to Maille to receive the personal thanks of the 366 persons whom they shep herded through the hard years. AID CASH: And Politics Although its funds were still in a state of confusion as a result of a combination of congressional econ omy and GOP political machina tions, the economic cooperation administration nevertheless man aged to toss off the biggest bundle of foreign relief cash so far. Paul G. Hoffman, ECA admin istrator, approved the assignment of $95,610,605 for 10 European coun tries, including Trieste, and China. The action brought total Marshall plan authorizations from available funds to $393,737,029. Countries sharing in the new ap provals were Great Britain, The Netherlands, France, French zone of Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, Norway, Greece, Trieste and China. The assignment of almost 96 mil lion dollars In foreign aid funds served to point up the squabble set off in congress when the house voted to spread the recovery funds over 13 months instead of 12, there by producing the effect of slashing aid appropriations by one to two billion dollars. While the senate restored the ap propriations cut, many U.S. leaders were gravely worried about another possible significance of the house action. Theory was that the house, by cutting ECA appropriations, demon strated that Republican organiza tion bosses are determined to fight, and reverse if possible, the line of foreign policy represented by the MarshaR plan. It was thought to be part of a larger plan to gain control of the Republican party and to defeat the new postwar GOP leaders—Van- denberg, Dewey, Stassen and War ren—by chipping away the corner stone of the foreign policy they aU profess. The situation had the outward appearance of chaos, but behind it lurked the business of playing elec tion year politics while permitting the rest of the world to go hang. MIDDLE INCOME: That’s $2,920 Any American fanuly which could add up the wages it received in 1947 and get $2,920 for the total had earned a “middle income,” accord ing to the way the federal reserve board has it figured out. That “middle income,” up $320 from 1946, incidentaRy, means that half of aU the 42 million U.S. fami lies made more than that whUe the other half made less. About 69 per cent or 28,980,000 families had a joint income of $2,000 or more last year. By con trast, in the mid-1930s fewer than 6.6 million famiUes had incomes at that level. But a dollar bought con siderably more then than it does now. Twenty-one out of each 100 fam ilies rated incomes above $5,000 in 1947, while eight of that group got more than $7,500 a year, However, not all were in the top money. Of each 100 famiUes 13 had incomes under $1,000 and another 18 earned between $1,000 and $2,000. But even many of the weU-to-do were unhappy about the whole thing. They felt that they were be coming worse off financiaHy be cause of the high cost of Hving. According to the federal reserve board’s sample survey, those per sons who own their own business or manage somebody else’s earn the most money. Middle income for famiRes headed by “a managerial or self - employed person" was $4,500. Next on the Ust were professional workers with a middle income of $4,000. SkiRed and semi-skiRed workers foUowed with $3,000, clerks and salespeople with $2,900 and un- skiRed workers with $1,800. Weigh Your Words? Scientists with a will ter weigh have developed at the Rahway, N.J., Merck institute for therapeutic re search a scales so incredibly deli cate that it records the weight of a puff of air from a single wave of the hand. The scales are being used to weigh potent new drugs and also to weigh the energy spent by animals placed under the influence of medi cinal drugs. Washington D igest; GOP Wanted Mac;s Return; Oh, Yes, They Surely Did By BAUKHAGE News Amdyst and Commentator PHILADELPHIA.—Gen. Douglas MacArthur,. in regretfully regretting his inability to accept the senate appropriation committee’s invitation to come to Washington to testify on the Far Eastern situa tion, said he’d rather wait until after the national political 'conven tions; that he didn’t want to get any political implications mixed up with his visit. Regular RepubHcaus solemnly accepted the general’s response just as Jf they hadn’t moved heaven and earth to keep him from accepting. Sen. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire remarked gravely at the time that if anything should happen whHe MacArthur was away (from Japan), he (Sqnator Bridges) certainly wouldn’t want the responsibiUty of having the general back here (Oh, dear no!). The enthusiastic poUtical ama teurs who urged that the general be invited finaRy were quieted down to the dismay of the Democrats who wept loudly into their.beards when they heard the general would not come. But there was enough danger of ruc tions, rows and revolt am ong contenders f o r the Republican nomination with- o u t ta k in g chances on a mHitary apple cart upsetter. MacArthur in the United States, marching under arches of triumph, enjoying the lay ing on of leis, not to mention being cheered and perhaps even voted for by a few starry-eyed elephant cubs, was no pleasant thought for the RepubHcan regulars to contem plate. On Rie other hand this con tingency would fiR the simple Dem ocratic soul with joy beyond com pare. We observed the same sweet in nocence as to the objectives of President Truman’s recent Httie informal tour of the country. As Chairman Beece of the BepubU- can national committee remarked before he left: “It (the trip) wiR be as non-poUtical as the Fender- gast machine," which indicates the nature of the inter-party amenities which may be expected from now on. It is indeed a tragedy that this quadrennial election—in which we go through aR the motions of tearing our adversaries to pieces, accusing them of aR the crimes in the calen dar just as if we meant it, should have to take place whHe wars cold, if not hot, seem to be breaking out aR over. It is probably a fine thing how ever, that, as civiHzation progressed, we changed our methods of choos ing a leader. In the old days it was a very simple process. When the eldest son had reached that point of strength and wisdom where he felt it was relatively safe to argue with papa the two of them took np their clubs, the ladies and younger ChUdren made a circle, and father and son held an election. It didn’t take long, and the best man won. The ladies buried the defeated candidate, and tribal life continued tranquiRy until the first Tuesday after the first Monday of the month and year that junior thought aus picious. Nowadays, we stretch the affair out for a whole year or more. The Russians have simplified elections by removing one candidate before hand which eliminates much of the element of chance. With us the contest is highly absorbing and just as the sabre tooth tiger often sneaked in and carried off some of the tribe while the others were watching the “election,” so aR sorts of things happen to us when we have our minds oh the political race. ' This time there is some danger that a large fat bear may grab off a large chunk of. oU-land while we are watching the events leading to the November finals. * * • Union of Nations To Secure Peace Recently Gen. Omar Bradley, chief of staff of the army, made a masterful argument for an unselfish and positive effort for peace, along with an idealistic appeal that we steer “by the stars, not by the Ught of each passing ship.” “In our hatred and renunciation of war,” said General Bradley, “we’ must not forget that the roots of conflict flourish in the faults and failures of those- who seek peace, just as surely as they take shape from the diseases and designs of aggressors. WhRe the American people have within themselves the moral strength, the power and wis dom to marshaR their forces against aggression in whatever form it affects — we cannot feign wars. We have suffered enough in innocence through indifference or neglect of struggles that bring on two world wars to know that non involvement in peace means certain involvement in war. “Either we shaU employ our strength, power and conscience, boldly and righteously in defense of human dignity and freedom, or we shall waste those reserves for peace, and default to the forces that breed new wars.” Wars can be prevented, said Bradley, just as surely as they can be provoked, and therefore "we who fafl to prevent them must share in guflt for the dead.” That thesis of General Bradley’s that it requires positive peacetime action to stop wars is concurred in by Clarence Streit, president of Federal Union, Incorporated, an organization working for the feder alization of the free countries of the world. Streit’s argument, made before the house foreign affairs committee, did not get the pubUcity it should. Streit said that only through free dom can peace come. Specifically, if the free nations unite in a federation (by free nations, he refers,, to nations which are not dominated by any foreign power and where at least the theory of democracy, as we understand it, obtains) these free nations can as sure peace. He suggests as charter members of the federation the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Lux emburg, The Netherlands, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Eire, Canada, AustraUa and New Zealand. Streit says farther that power can be divided into four suits, like a deck of cards, and that these 15 democracies, if they federate, can hold every ace. He lists them: “The Ace of Clubs: Armed power. Not only would their soldiers, if united, number as many as Rus sia's and be much more mobile and better-equipped, but this union would begin by having the bulk of the world’s airpower; 90 per cent of its naval tonnage; advance bases everywhere on earth; IOO per cent atomic power. “The Ace of Spades: Productive power. Despite the tangle on tar iffs and currencies, these democ racies outproduce the rest of the world. Think what they could do with a free flow of trade simUar to that among our own states! “The Ace of Diamonds: Raw ma terial power. No need of separate stockpHing of essentials. These na tions would produce 50 to 90 per cent of most of them. “The Ace.of Hearts: Moral power. This union would unite aR lands towards which the rest of humanity has looked for refuge from oppres sion and leadership toward Uberty. Nothing can appeal to men so deep ly as can individual freedom—and to back it up with every ace is to add irresistible authority to its appeal.’’ I think that is a very concise and logical statem ent Western Europe already is moving toward a anion, slowly, oat of necessity, because there is . NO OTHER WAY! The peoples of the world do not want war; the free nations, having achieved freedom, have no cause for war except to defend that free dom. The federation could main tain freedom without war for no one would dare challenge it.

Yet congress, willing to spend billions to train young men for war has bottled up the 300 million dollar aid-to-education bill to train young men and women for peace. Georgia’s Democratic Congress man Don Wheeler has been begging for 218 of his house mates to sign a discharge petition to force the federal aid-to-education bill out of the education and labor committee where it has been salted away by the GOP leadership. But he has not been able to scrape up more than 43 names! Meanwhile, literacy in the United States has sunk to an alarming low — probably lower than Russia. IVhat the public also doesn’t realize is that the nation’s 10 million illiterates over 21 years old are not southern Negroes, but many of them na tive-born whites. Official statis tics show that 4,200,090 adults, who cannot read or write, are whites born in this country. An other 3,100,000 are foreign-born whites, whereas only 2,700,000 are Negroes. The remaining handfnl are Latin Americans and Orien tals by birth. Furthermore illiteracy isn’t Tound exclusively in the South. For example, more than one million illiterate adults live in New York, another 696,000 in Pennsylvania and 462,000 in Illinois. However, 36 per cent of Louisiana’s total popula tion cannot read or write. During the war, draft boards weeded out 350,000 young meh who could sign their name only with an X. Of these, 150,000 were physi cally fit to serve in the army but Iere disqualified because of lack of education—a loss to the country of approximately 15 divisions. Yet house leaders are not willing to spend a few million dollars on a bill already passed by the senate and which again would make Amer ica the most enlightened nation In the world.« * . Veterans Housing Bill MICHIGAN’S CONGRESSMAN JESSE WOLCOTT, who has been bottling up the housing bill, thought he would show he was not anti veteran by calling two witnesses to speak for the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He did this despite the fact that he had a telegram in his pocket OfflciaSy repudiating the two wit nesses. Signed by Merle Hopper, Michigan VFW commander, the telegram read: "George Lyle and Arthur Grieg purported to represent Michigan department VFW on housing at your committee hearings. No one but myself is authorized to speak for VFW in Michigan on any sub ject before congress.” Deliberately ignoring Hiis pro test from the VFW commander, Wolcott in effect deceived the public by putting Greig and Lyle on the stand to denounce low- cost housing for war vets. He also failed to mention that Greig and LyIe for a long time have been playing hand-in-glove with the real-estate lobby in Detroit. However, Representative Hale Boggs of Louisiana, himself a vet eran, did not let Wolcott get away with -this. He asked Lyle if the national VFW was for public hous ing. Knowing the answer was “Yes,” Wolcott had the nerve to interrupt Boggs. But the Lousianan, persisted: “I insist on an answer to my question as to whether the na tional VFW has endorsed this bill— yes or no.” Lyle finally had to admit that the Veterans of Foreign Wars fa vored passage of the housing bill and that he and Greig were speak ing only for themselves. Chairman Wolcott looked very sick.« * * Army-Havy UiiiiicaSion THE GREATEST ARGUMENT in favor of army-navy unification was pooling of supplies. It was estimated that the taxpayers could be saved a lot of money if the army and navy bought their sup plies together instead of bidding against each other. However, Secretary of Defense Forrestal, supposedly a business man, hasnit even accomplished this —despite the fact that he knew from recent war experiences how great- this waste was. If the armed services kept a single, Sears-Roebuck type of cata log of their supplies, it would bring about great saving. The waste that has resulted from this lack of uniformity is astronomical. For example, 30 million dollars worth of . tubes were purchased by the army In 23-12—enough to last for 10 years. Yct the following week another order was placed for 60 million dollars worth of tubes—because the army liad( to stock different types. As a result, army ware- - houses overflowed with tubes that varied only slightly from each other, maybe no more than a prong spaced differently.

Wisconsin Notes Drop In Dairy Cow Numbers At the beginning of 1948, Wiscon sin, America’s greatest dairy state, had 2,580,000 cows and heifers, two years old or over, kept for milk, also 1,015,000 heifer calves and heifers one to two years old kept for mil!: cows. Compared with a year ago, the number of milk cows ,declined 51,000 and the number ol young stock kept for future milk I cows decreased 16,000 ( C r o c h e t % i s o C o v e ltf f ^ o i e G i a i r S e t i n P in e a p p le T f l o t i f Four Measures Listed ToCurbEImDisease Increasing Toil Noted Over Widespread Area The dread Dutch elm disease, killer of thousands of trees, is spreading rapidly over large areas, Control meas- . ures should in- lrfok^ y * ; ' elude: (I) Prim ing and burning y' of all dead ma terial from elms; (2) removing of the bark before ’'VfnVvJ./ ■llV-A.-, eIm wood is stored or dump - ed, if the wood is n o t destroyed; (3) piling of stored elm wood in a dry building or cellar; (4) removing and burning promptly all elm trees killed by the disease. There are three good clues for spotting the diseased trees, accord ing to University of Massachusetts specialists. Evidence of woodpeck er work is one. Where strips of bark have been removed from tree limbs it may indicate that wood peckers are feeding on elm bark beetles, carriers of the Dutch elm disease. Shepherd’s crooks are another sign of the disease. These crooks are twisted twigs branching out at the end of last season’b growth. Third, lack of spring buds may indicate that the trees have been attacked by the disease. Early detection of the disease will aid control measures, foresters say. Electricity Serves New Chore in Poultry House Electricity has added one more chore to its list of poultry opera tions. It has invaded the egg stor age room in a battle against mold and musty odors. Accompanying picture shows how this battle is being fought on a Virginia farm. The “armament” consists of two bactericidal lights. From a central place on the ceiling, the lights radiate powerful germ- killing rays into every part of the room. The egg storage room has been free of mold and musty odors since the equipment was installed three years ago.

Neighbor folks would be shak ing their heads sadly. People liked Libby. Sort of old-maidish she was, near 40, but there was kindness and generosity in her heart. Not that her death would be a surprise. She was very frail and a chronic heart sufferer. Doc Hunt ley had begged her to slip off with him and have a quiet justice-of-the- peace wedding and avoid excite ment. But no. She’d wanted to be with her family—what family she had, and such as it was. With tightening throat, Doc gazed down on the thin dark figure in the blue tulle wedding dress lying on the quilted bedding. She’d fallen on the rag carpet, they had told him when he arrived, and one of the women guests had picked her up and placed her on the bed and had removed her stockings to massage her legs. Doc noticed the heavy finger marks on the thin ankles Then his gaze swept to the digitalis bottle on the dressing table. Libby’s heart never had been in such a bad condition that a shot of heart stimulant hadn’t brought her out of it. But it was obviously a severe attack. Her face was bluish, her dark eyes bulging, as if from an exploding heart. A look of ab ject horror had torn open her mouth, twisting her pretty face. “My husband was settin’ in the front room waitin’ fer the preacher and you to come, Doc," Cousin Laura said—Doc always called her Cousin Laura, because she was Lib by’s cousin, the only relative Libby had. “The first guests were jest corn in’ up the road. I was in the kitchen tiimmin’ up the weddin’ cake. I thought I heard Libby scream. About an hour ago it was. I came in here as quick as I could wash off my hands, and there she was a-lyin’ there on the floor, but blue in the face.” Cousin Laura was a big-boned woman with suspicious, disapprov ing eyes. Her hair was coal black. Cynics had whispered that Laura had married Grandpappy Bogle, 40 years her senior, for his farm. He was stone deaf and couldn't (it was believed at the time) live more than six months. Grandpappy had a son, Harv Bogle, living with him. That was the family—Grandpappy Bogle, Cousin Laura Bogle, Harv Bogle and Libby. Doc had always had an uncom fortable feeling that Laura hated him, or at least resented his taking Libby from the family. Doc could hear Grandpappy in the front room yapping away with the guests. No m atter what anyone said to him, he assumed that they were agreeing with him and went on yapping. “Where’s Harv ?” Doc said. “Harv’s out to the barn sulking, t reckon—on account of the wed ding,” Cousin Laura said with evil suggestion. “He ain’t been in all day—didn’t even come. in fer his dinner.” Then she became thought ful, her black eyes slitting. “Now, wait a minute—I believe I seen Iiim out on the back porch about an hour ago. Yeah, I did, come to think of it.” Doc understood about Harv not wanting to attend the wedding. He’d known that Harv Bogle had loved Libby like a man possessed. He’d threatened a half dozen times to kill himself if she didn’t m arry him. And when that didn’t work, he practically threatened to kill her. Only yesterday he’d told Libby that he’d rather see her dead than mar rying the doctor. Doc had brushed Libby’s fears aside. Harv was harmless. Give him a month of fishing and squirrel hunting down in the Obion river bottoms and he’d forget it, Doo had assured her. Harv was the bachelor type. He lived from day to day, felt no responsibility about anything. The only thing he planned ahead was his tobacco patch out behind the barn. Doc found Harv sitting on the wagon tongue in the barnlot. He was distractedly scraping blue mud from his rough brogans with a Libby’s room was just as heat The rag carpets looked as if they’d just been washed a day or so before. Doc went to the wall telephone, rang central and asked for the sheriff. “This is Doc Huntley, Sheriff. I want to report a murder . . . yeah, out at Grandpappy Bogle’s place...” Doc hung up, turned. Cousin Law a stood in the kitchen door, her black eyes staring balefully. Slowly, doubt and indecision tor* her mouth open. “Did you say “murder?’ ” “Yes. Libby was murdered. By the person who would inherit the 200 acres of rich bottom land. Lib by’s land is certainly more tempt ing than Grandpappy Bogle’s red clay hills—” “How—how—” “Libby was picked up by her ankles and held upside down until she died from a heart attack.

He was a heavy- set man in tattered overalls, griz zled, his teeth showing the effects of constant tobacco chewing. He didn’t talk much and spent most of his time alone in the river bottoms. His attitude towards the doctor was surly since Doc had started courting Libby. Harv looked up darkly. “Been out here all afternoon, Harv?” “Here and the bottom—if it’s any thing to you.” He kept on scraping mud. “You were seen in the back yard about the time Libby died.” “Died! Is she—” He studied Doc suspiciously. Slowly, conviction crept over his face. “Somebody lied,” he said dully, and returned his attention to his shoe. “Harv, I never talked with Libby about it. But who gets Libby’s prop erty? She had a will, didn’t she?” Doc knew that Libby owned 200 acres of valuable bottom timber land where Harv did his hunting and fishing. “Naw,” Harv replied. “She didn’t leave no will. You sort of got left out, didn’t you, Doc? If’n she’d lived through the day, you’d have got yo’r hands on that land, wouldn’t you?” Doc struggled to keep from get ting mad. His gaze shifted to the dry branch at the foot of the red- gullied hill. Snarled, hungry-looking sassafras grew on the bank and along the fence rows, as if it had been forced out of competition for space in the rich bottom lands and relegated to the hills where compe tition for food was tired and hope less.

Bezalelf The Craftsman Lesson for July 11,1948 Dr* Newton THE dignity of labor, the source of artistic ability, the secret of mechanical skill, and the service of good workmanship—these are the fa c e ts th a t b re a k a cro ss the ages, pointing us to worth ie r effort, as we stu d y ag ain the achievement of Be- zalel and his associ ates in the construc tion and furnishing of the T ab e rn ac le a t Sinai. You will wish to read the sc rip tu re passages for the les son and the devo tional reading, Exodus 20:1-17, and the golden text: “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might,” Ecclesiastes 9:10. * * >:> A MAN WHO DID FINE WORK BEZALEL, grandson of Hur, son of Caleb, was called of God to superintend the building of the Tab ernacle'. His name means “under the shadow of God.” He knew how to do fine work, having been trained in/Egyptian art and handicraft— metallurgy, carpentry, weaving, em broidery, leather-dyeing, gem-cut ting and confections. He even knew the art of apothecary. Best of all, he loved to do fine work. It is one thing to possess the know how, it is yet another thing to love the execution of a great de sign.* * * TRAITS OF CHARACTER BEZALEL possessed knowledge as a fine craftsman, but back of this technical knowledge was spirit ual discernment. He was filled “with the spirit of God.” He worked at the temporal, but he worked for the eternal. He possessed wisdom — wisdom which comes only from God. Wis dom which means understanding in the sense in which Solomon speaks in Proverbs. Picture life with every workman filled with the spirit of God, and possessing an understanding of his task in the light of God’s eternal will. Here, I fancy, Henry Van Dyke may have got the inspiration for his great poem on “Work.” * * * HANDS THAT SERVE GOD AHOLIAB, meaning “the father is my tabernacle,” was called of God to help Bezalel in this high and holy task. He was of the tribe of Dan—which tribe furnished Hiram as chief artist in building Solomon’s temple. Aholiab, “given of God” for this divine task, gladly dedicated his skillful hands in helping Bezalel. And there were many others who helped—“wise hearted,” we read. Here was a task, God’s task, and here were leaders, Bezalel and Aholiab, ready to serve God; and here were helpers, wise hearted. * * * WORK FOR EVERY DAY TURNING now from the fascinat ing story of how Bezalel and Aholiab and their helpers con structed and furnished the Taber nacle at Sinai, according to the mi nutest detail as outlined in the pas sages above cited, let us ask, What about our work? There is work for everyone every day. “To every man his . work.” And every task is essential in bring ing to pass the Kingdom of God on earth. God did not make us for idleness. He made us for a pur pose—that purpose to do our par ticular work. None other can do what God has ordained, that we should do. “My Father worketh hitherto, and I work,” said Jesus. “Work, for the night cometh when no man can work.” Will, my work be done ere the night come? "Time worketh, Let me work, too, Busy as time my work I ply, Till I work the work o/ eternity."

Missions Whether we like it or not, we have been thrust into a world that has been crowded up into such close quarters that there is no longer any “home mission” field or “foreign mission” territory.

FIRST AID to r AILING house w n by Roger C-Wbitman QUESTION: We have lmotty pine walls in our living room, which have had an application of a pene trating wax. Wliat can we use that would give a smooth, dull gloss, and that would protect the wood ? ANSWER: The material that you used is intended for just that purpose. If more of a sheen is da- sired, the walls should be given a thin, even coat of paste wax, allow ed to dry for 20 minutes or so, and then rubhed well with soft, clean cloths. The smoothness of the finish depends entirely on the sanding and rubbing done on the surface of the wood before any finish is applied. QUESTION: We have sanded our floors, put on one coat of shel lac, and two coats of varnish. The floor is slightly rough; how can we make it smooth without redoing it? ANSWER: Go over the rough places with a handful of fine stsel wool moistened with turpentine. This will dull the finish, hut you can touch it up with a little ■var nish. QUESTION: My silver salt cel lars are spotted with black marks, made by the salt. Eow can these spots be removed? ANSWER: Silver spotted by salt can best be cleaned and bright ened by a jeweler or silversmith. Caution In Using 2,4-D In fighting weeds in lawns there may come a time when most of the turf is free of them and only a few individual dandelions or plan tains are to be found here and there, and small patches of the low persistent pennywort and chickweed. When 2,4-D is used as a spray it is likely to kill or dam age the clover, which is often de sirable in the mixture, and it may drift to other sensitive plants. To use, 2t4-D effectively cn small patches of the spreading weeds, says L. .W. Kephart, weed special- % 1st of the U. S. department of ag riculture, a paint brush is a prac tical applicator that will not spread the herbicide beyond the spot to be treated. Unless the brush is re served for this use (and not used for sprinkling other broadleaf plants about the place with insecti cides and fungicidcs), it should be thoroughly washed out with soap and warm water and left to stand overnight in a quart of water to which a teaspoonful of ammonia has been added. ir s ASPtPlN AT ITS BEST St. Joseph ASPIRIN WORLD-'S--LftROBST SFUfcV AT IO< Pullorum clean N.

Listed below are some of the safety rules recom mended by the National Safety council. Do not use home-made electric fence controllers; they are not safe. No fence should be energized from any electric source except through an approved controller, one that meets the safety stan dards of a recognized agency. It is important that the controller is properly installed with good ground and lightning protection. Do not tamper with the control ler. If it needs servicing return it to the manufacturer or have repairs made by a factory-authorized rep resentative. Teach children not to tamper or play with an electric fence. Avoid locating an electric fence where the charged wire and a good ground such as a pipe line, pump, stock tank, pond, irrigation ditch, or other normally wet ground can be contacted at the same time. Identify electric fences, especial ly those near buildings, property lines, or roads with prominent signs. Provide insulated gate grips for opening and closing gates.

BENSON President--Martlnui Cailtf* I Searcy, Jrkatnas j Only the BeCrinning Some of the people supporting pro posed “federal aid” to education bills admit frankly that these represent only a beginning. Once the principle had been adopted, they say, increasing amounts could be expected. Those ac quainted with the way federal projects grow and grow and grow, would nat urally expect this to happen. Within a decade the federal government would be carrying the chief burden of pub lic education. Is this bad ? Just to suggest the idea is to show the danger. Decisions of policy for public education would be made on the national IeveL After such nationalization of the public schools, it would be easy to obtain legislation requiring all students to attend public schools for "national indoctrination” purposes. This is exactly the type of thing we decry in Russia. These were the methods that made millions of school children just like Hitler and Mussolini wanted them. How to Control To favor federal aid is to argue for the exchange of our present public school system, with locally controlled public schools operating alongside many private and church related schools, for a nationally financed and nationally controlled educational sys tem. No two ways about it, federal aid would mean undesirable federal controls. Controls do go along with financial assistance, and our federal govern ment has no record to the contrary. In fact, the Supreme Court of the United States has already declared, in the case of farm subsidies that the federal government may control that which it subsidizes. Political Spoils When we recall powerful influences within our own generation to get polit ical influence into nearly every Ameri can institution, it doesn’t take much imagination to see federal control of the American school system following any general federal aid program. We can all remember when, at election time, WPA workers were told: "Re member who your friends are” when you vote. Dependence upon Washington sets up a political system, super-deluxe model. I would look upon the nationali zation of American education, which could be expected to follow federal aid bills, as a decisive step in the develop ment of a totalitarian state. Should America nationalize her education, it is my conviction that full nationaliza tion of industry, .distribution, and ag riculture would follow within a gen eration. Let’s Keep Freedom We must remember that the one nation in the recent war which was able to arm itself against the axis powers was not a socialized state. The one Ration that was able to lend arms to its allies was not a socialized state. The one country now being called upon to help all the rest of the world is not a socialized nation. The one nation now providing the greatest educational sys tem the world has ever seen is America. I am not one of those who believe that in order to remain great we must discard suddenly the methods and prin ciples by which we became great. Two years after England started national izing her industries she was forced to vote power to the government to tell her citizens where to work and what to do! We want none of this. But, if we nationalize education through so-called federal aid, we will get all of these ills and more! Jnst Testing xnem The nice old lady smiled at the little girl who had been left in charge of the cake shop. "Don’t you sometimes feel tempt ed to eat one of the cream puffs, my dear?” she said. The little girl was quite shocked. “Of course not,” she replied. “That would be stealing.

SHEAD WNU WaiJhinsten Correspondent PHILADELPHIA—Bowling over all opposition in an unchecked power 'drive toward the coveted goal of 548 •votes, Governor Thomas E. Dewey, of New York, swept to victory on the third ballot at the Republican National Convention. After a night of speculation on vice- presidential candidates which in- Iduded the names of Charles Haileck, of Indiana; Senator John Brlcker, of Ohio; Oovernor Wanen was put forth M the Dewey choice for the post. Ctovernor Earl Warren, governor of California, was nominated to the vice- presidency by acclamation after Arl- IOiia had withdrawn the name of Barold E. Stassen. Acturlly the colorful New Yorker’s nomination came by unanimous vote after he had demonstrated unpre cedented strength on the first ballot over six other contenders for the nomination. Governor Dewey polled .434 votes on the first ballot to 224 for Senator Ro':ert A. Taft, of Ohio, his nearest coir ”ctitor, with former Gov ernor Harold E. Stassen trailing in third place with 157 votes. Senator Vandenburg, of Michigan, polled 62; Senator Rr.ymond Baldwin, of Con necticut, 19; Speaker Joe Martin, of Massachusetts, 18; Carroll Eeese, of Tennessee, chairman of the GOP national committee, 15; General of the Army Douglas McArthur. 11; iGovemor Dwight Green, of Ulmols, ;96; Governor Alfred E.

DEWEY Detmy In Center Of Early Activity GOV. EARL WARREN platform to withdraw in favor of Dewey. They were quickly followed by Governor Warren, of California, and the others. . Governor Cewey told the delegates he accepted the nomination “un fettered by a sinsle obligation or promise to any lhing person.” His acceptance speech, rhich evidently had been prepared in advance, since it was Jelivered in mimeograph form to the press before he made it, was on a hish plane of a “spiritual upsurge.” “Our problem,” he said, "is most of all spiritual. Oitr problem is not outside ourselves. Our problem is within ourselves . . . we have devised noble plans- for a new world. With out a new spirit, our noblest plans will come to naught.” Governor Dewey came into toe con vention as the leading candidate, with apprciinwtely 350 votes pledged to him cn the first b.’.ilot and possibly some OO to 75 votes as a reserve upon '.Vhirh he could comii; after favorite son I csn-iiCate. teen moved out of the I pioi'.rre.

Dewey did not Swe the votes he claimed. Further, the Dewey "blitz” brought 2raator Ai thiu- Vandenburg from out of his cocoon as a dark-horse and into the picture as an active candidate to be nominated on the first roll call of the states. First show-down was a split in the Pennsylvania delegation of 73 votes resulting in the withdrawal of Penn sylvania’s Senator Edward Martin as a favorite son candidate in favor of Governor Dewey, throwing roughly half of the delegation to the New Yorker. This did not change the pic ture In the total vote, however, since it meant only that the other half of the Keystone state delegation con trolled by Governor James J. DuSf would go to Senator Vandenburg on the first ballot instead of waiting until a later ballot. Then the Missiouri delegation split with Senator James P. Kem1 of that state going to Governor Dewey with his following of the delegation and Senator Forrest Donnell holding out for Senator Taft with his Misouri delegates. Governor Alfred E. Dris coll, of New Jersey, who had been flirting with the Vandenburg candi dacy for several weeks then pulled Into the Dewey camp with his 35-vote delegation. Up to this point before the balloting started, Governor Dewey had reached the peak of his claimed strength. Confident Spirit Highlights Sessions Until the demonstrations for can didates started the wild and tumultous session which lasted long into Wednes day night, there had been little en thusiasm and actually small crowds attending the convention. There was a: air of tenseness and responsibility about these delegates which did not lend itself to hilarity or hor?e-play to any large degree. These delegates gathered here were all convinced they were naming the next President of the United States . . . that IMS. Ip • sure winner for the Reiji BIieA party. The best demonstration up to the roll call of states came when Herbert Hoover, former president and GOP elder statesman was escorted to the platform by Alf Landon, of Kansas, the 1936 nominee. Mr. Hoover was given a 16-minute demonstration, and he made a sturdy, if aged picture there with the klelg lights beaming upon him. Foreign Aid Pkmh Features Platform Highlight of the 1948 OOP PtaMoma and chief bone of mntentloa In ses sions of the resolutions committee was the foreign relation* plank.

The platform was all-inclusive covering the field of domestic issues including conservation of natural re sources, farm price supports, economy in government, against high prices, abolition of useless government bureaus, maintenance of an adequate armed service for sea, land and air; reduction of the federal debt and taxes, elimination of monopoly to aid small business, a sound soil conser vation program, development of sound farm credit, encouragement of family- sized farms; progressive development of the nation’s water resources for navigation, flood control and power; a comprehensive reclamation program; recognition of the nation's obligation to all veterans and a realistic and ade quate adjustment of benefits; housing by private enterprise at lower costs, but federal aid for local slum clear ance and low-rental housing; exten sion of the federal old age and survivor’s insurance program and in crease of the benefits to a more real istic level; strengthening of state-aid programs to provide more adequate hospital facilities, to Improve methods of treatment of the mentally ill, to advance maternal and child health. ?Jhe civil rights platform plank included an antl-lynching law, abolition of tlip poll tax as a requisite for voting, opposition to racial segregation In the armed services and “equality of all indi viduals in tlieir right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happi ness ... right to equal opportunity . to work and to advance In life not limited because of race, re ligion, color, or country of origin.” Tlie platform also pledged new legislation against communism, revi sion of the procedure for election of president and vice-president to “more exactly reflect the popular vote.” This plank referred to the Lodge constitu tional revision resolution to change the vote procedure of the electoral college. Hqual rights for women, equal pay for equal work regardless of sex, educational opportunities for all and giving title of tldeland oil lands to the states completed the document.

W. K, Isenhonr- High Point, N. C. R4 This may seem like a strange subject to write about, but follow me and see. W hen I was a bov T well remember it was quite a de light to wade In the creeks and go to the ponds and swim. Now and then we would see what we called a “ sink hole.” The water- would roll around and around and then sink down in a little hole. Then when we had a spell of real wet weather sometimes we watched the little stream s out In the fields, and saw them flow down in a hole in the earth and disappear. I was jnst thinking a. little while ago how this compares to the lives of many people who serve the devil. Many of them make lots of money, but they simply waste it in riotous living. Thev “ blow it in,” as the saying goes. Multitudes of people speud lots of money for tobacco, which, if von would stop to realize it absolutely worthless, and far more than worthless. It is very injurious to the health of millions of people. One of the leading causes of heart trouble and cancer today* we verily believe, is the use of to bacco. Never have we seen so many people with heart trouble as today, nor with cancer, and as they poison their svstem with nicotine we are conscious it brings on this condi tion. So In this particular they are pouring tbeir monev, so to- speak, in a sink bole. It disappears and does them no good, but much harm- The other fellow gets their monev mil llw tit y Wlili In kIm. y then oftentimes go to a pretnt ture grave. L et's own up to the truth and say, “ Yes, it Is so.” I have been going to a hospital re cently to see some patients, both of whom were quite ill. The doctor told one of them that seventy.five per cent of his trouble was caused by smoking The other patient was so afflicted that the doctors stopped him fnm . smoking cigarettes, or advised him to. saying that his ill. ness was caused by cigarettes. This is just a sample of what tobacco is doing for multitudes of people to. day. Tbeir money is gone and It sinks them down In health, even in early life, and to the grave. Then there are those who waste their money with beer, wine, liquor and dope. This is literally injuring the health and wrecking the morals of millions of people today. fust pouring their money and their heal, th and lives into a sink hole. She9S A Bird From just a platn bird, through succession of cognomen of the feath. ered tribe, Mrs. Elizabeth Martin, of Paris K y., who has been visiting W arren county, has feathered her nest well, and holds probably the most singular distinction of sur names of any one on record. Sbe began as Elizabeth Bird In Harrison, Kv., and first ventured from the home nest when she mar ried Bob Martin. W hen Mr. Mar. tin died she married Edward Crow, a farmer. W hen the time came to change nests she allied herself with William Robin, and lived happy until the matrimonial season of Mrs. Robin again rollfd along. Then David Buzzard a widower more attrative personally and so cially than his name would indicate, appeared and Mrsv, Robin became Mrs. Buzzard. Into the Buzzard roost Mrs. Buz. zard carried one little Martin, two little Crows and one little Robin. One little Buzzard was already there to welcome the other birds. Ex. REAP THE AD$ Akmg With the New* Matfer of Protection T ITTLE Mortimer and his pal, Otis, were studying pictures of primitive life on a remote South Sea island. Mortimer’s mother had just spanked him soundly with a slipper and he was still smarting from the punishment. “Otis,” he said, studying a pic ture of primitive family life, “I wish I could live on a South Sea island. Mothers there don't wear any slip pers.” Otis examined the picture with care, and then soberly replied. “I wouldn’t, Mortimer, ’cause down there the little boys don’t wear any pants!” THE AMERICAN WAY Millionaire to beggar — with you this minute I Beggar — Look here, mister; the only difference between you and me is that you are makin’ your second «1 first, Pauses That Counted The lecturer was a celebrated doctor of law, and his talk was to be on "Fools." The chairman who was something of a humorist, stood up to introduce him. “Ladies and gentlemen," he said. "We aTe now to have a lecture on fools by one” — he paused, and there was loud laughter before he resumed — “of the wisest men in the country.” The lecturer then rose to speak. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he said. 'T m not half so big a fool as the chairman” — he paused, and again there was loud laughter — “would- have you suppose!” Time to Run A certain fearless and athletic man was going home late one night. He was warned not to go the usual way, as there had been several hold ups. He went just the same, and pres ently was met by a man who asked him what time it was. Thinking that- this was the prelude to a holdup, he hit him a heavy blow, and said: “It has just struck one.” “Begorrah,” was the reply, “I’m glad I didn’t ask you an hour ago.” Playing It Safe “Tell me what you eat, and I’ll tell you what you are,” said a lunch counter philosopher. Whereupon a meek little man, sitting a few stools away, called to the waitress: "Can cel my order for shrimp salad, please.” Hastening It “You and I have been friends for years, Doc,” declared the chronic dead-beat patient, “so I won’t hurt your feelings by offering to pay your bill. I’m going to let you in on a little secret: You’re one of the chief beneficiaries of my life insur ance policy.” “In that case,” stated the sorely beset doctor, “let’s see your pre scription a minute, old friend. There’s a small, but very important change I’d like to make.”’ WELL, WELL! Groom—If i’d known that tun nel was going to be so long, dar ling, I’d have kissed yon. Bride—Gracious! Wasn’t that you? Strange Tastes An old man had been fishing from the pier all day without uttering a word. A visitor who had been watch ing him for some time at last ap proached him. “I see you are using fishbait for lobsters. You think it good, do you?” The old man shook his head. “No.,” he said. A long pause followed. ' “But the lobsters do,” he added. Hew Device Controls 'Cancerf of Buildings Pipes Enable Chemical » To Reach Termites Termites, the "cancer” of build ings, now can be controlled. Through all the ages the tiny insect that feasts on wood in homes, farm build ings and other structures has been a constant destroyer.. Annual prop erty losses run far into the millions. Ordinary control measures couid not get at tlie intricate tunnels hid den away in difficult and impossible to reach places. A new device, hailed as an effec tive means of combatting ‘‘the de structive pest, was demonstrated a! the annual convention of the Nation al Association of Home Builders in Chicago by W. B. Hill of Memphis. Tenn., nationally known as a termite expert. His method consists of installing a series of slotted pipes at the time of construction in all inaccessible areas, including dirt-filled porches, sun parlors, stoops, steps and fire places. Annually a perforated pipe is slipped into the allotted pipes and all hidden areas are treated with a powerful chemical toxic blown In this novel display, a colony of termites is feasting on the framework in a model home structure. It provides dramaticproof of the destructive ability of the tiny insects. through openings in the pipes. Hill, who has spent 20 years figur ing ways of waging war on the ter mite, also has devised a display showing live termites at work. En closed in glass, his small scale mod el home has an army of hungry ter mites actually at work constructing their intricate network of mud tun nels or shelter tubes. It shows the worker, the soldier on guard and the immature, young potential queen who swarms in the spring. Beware the tNew Look/ Crop Specialist Advises Beware the “new look,” espe cially in crop varieties. That is the advice of Joe Robinson, Iowa State college agronomist. “New varieties seem to hold some sort of magic charm over many farmers,” stated Robinson. “I am happy to see the farmer change to new varieties whenever they can increase his yield but just because a variety carries a new name is no indication of its value.” Robinson pointed out that per formance records are more impor tant than newness. . Selection of suitable hybrid corn varieties creates another problem. Unlike other crops, some hybird corn varieties are produced by only one concern. Eligibility of both the private hybrid lines and the experi ment station lines for certification depends on the performance rec ords in a corn yield test. M osquito 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, makes their use prohibitive on large mosquito breeding areas. Ditching and other more permanent methods still must be resorted to in those areas. Photo, from the New Jersey agricultural experiment station, shows an aersol fog generator used by a mosquito extermina tion commission. Bigger Fowl Contest ExtendedforYear Pouitry Halsers 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.

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 Americap chicken A day-old chick perches on a model of the Chicken-of-Tomorrow, the objective in a nationwide con test extended thrdbgh 1948. eaters more for their money. Poul- trymen from all parts of the coun try are joining in the hunt for a breeding formula which will add at present-day chicken. A higher per centage of meat 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 con 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. All 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 in cubation. Hens won’t lay any more eggs than they are laying just because a roost er is on the premises, so why not sell 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’ll save about $3 in feed costs on the swapl Quality Chicks Needed To Offset Feed Costs One method through which poul- trymen can combat the present high cost of feed is to purchase good quality chicks. Feed costs, records compiled by the extension service indicate, now amount to 60 per cent or more of the total costs of producing eggs and chicken m eat in contrast to 50 per cent in normal times.

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Weary 80th Coigress Comes to EnJ Of Trail in Welter of Legislation; Truman Finishes Political Road Show ____________By Bill Schoeatgen, WNU StafE Wrifer YEDlTORfS NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those ef W estern Newspaper Union's news analysts and not ncccssarUy of this newspaper.) CONGRESS: Adjourned Embattled and fatigued, the 80th congress nevertheless managed to spew forth a batch of important legislation with the relentlessness of a doughnut machine before it adjourned for the national political conventions. In the waning hours before ad journment the dog-tired senators and representatives pushed through farm legislation and a peacetime draft, together with bills having to do with housing, displaced persons, the atomic energy commission, wages of federal employees and foreign aid appropriations. Republican leaders made it ap parent that although congress had adjourned its session the way was being left open for it to reconvene later this year. Despite this, however, the 80th congress had run its formal course. And that it was a vital, exciting course and one that had produced some momentous legislation no one would gainsay. Partly responsible for this character of congress, of course, was the fact that President Tnim an had written a record num ber of vetoes. Some of the high points of con gress' record: FOREIGN AID—Congress issued billions for the support of Greece and Turkey and for general foreign relief, capping that by underwriting the Marshall plan for world econo mic survival and revival and estab lishing the economic cooperation administration as a further invest ment in the future of 16 friendly European nations. NATIONAL DEFENSE—Aware of the implications of the realistic for eign policy the U. S. had begun’ to follow, congress adopted a peace time draft, demanded a “70-group” air force, appropriated funds to modernize the army and .navy, en acted a law to unify the armed forces and created the atomic energy commission. HIGH PRICES—Congress ignored President Truman’s repeated and insistent demands for authority to control prices and wages and kept to the classic Republican concep tion of “laissez faire” with regard to business and industry. It re duced personal income taxes and reduced the domestic budget by two billion dollars. LABO R -The Taft-Hartley law was enacted over President Tru man’s veto in an effort to curb union excesses and restore a better balance between labor and manage ment. The minimum wage law, growing constantly less useful as prices and wages rose, was not re vised. DRAFTEES: Back Again With the peacetime draft a reality in the U. S. again for the first time since 1941 many thousands of young men (19 through 25) are face to face with the prospect of wearing G.I. clothing for 21 months. Most of them were destined to go into the army, since the navy and air force are scheduled to re ceive an extremely small percentage of the draftees. For those non-veterans who want ed to escape the draft there was at least one reasonable method of do ing so—enlistment in the national guard or reserves before the Presi dent signed the bill. And national guard officers all over the country reported that they were receiving a most gratifying number of in quiries from prospective enlistees. Meanwhile, Gen. Omar N. Brad ley, army chief of staff, reported jovially that the army would fry to take on as many as 10,000 draft ees a month under the new act. Selective service, he said, will “back our leadership in the world and will strengthen our foreign policy.” That, certainly, was the hope of most Americans, notwith standing the furious last-ditch efforts of isolationists in congress to block passage of the draft law. The chief of staff revealed that at present there is only one domes tic army division up to full strength. He said the draft and enlistments will bring the army up from 540,000 to 790,000. Is there any immediate emergency that must be met by a prepared .army force?' Most authorities think not, and General Bradley himself soft-pedalled the idea. Bongo Bongo Evidence of a recurrence of canni balism in IVench Equatorial Africa has prompted the French colonial administration to launch a vigorous effort to wipe out that evil among the natives. The government is imposing hardlabor penalties on offender!, using that punishment as a threat to break the hold of witch doctors who get free supplies of meat by promoting annual human-sacrifice rituals, Eight Ball Wfc With the all-cracial (for him) Democratic convention only days away, with the Republicans throwing political rocks at him, with southern Democrats bluster ing- against him and his policies and with his own Democratic or ganization feeling very tepid about his prospects, President Truigan could be forgiven indeed for having that “behind-the-eight ball” feeling. RETURN: Truman President Truman was back in the White House after journeying 9,505 political miles—one of them on a ski-lift at Sun Valley—to bring his story before U. S. voters. That story was primarily his bitter characterization of the pres ent congress as wallowing in de fection. As a U. S. President going be fore the people to seek re-nomina tion by his own party,, he summed up his stand in a single, tough phrase made during his speech at Harrisburg, Pa. If the voters don’t make a change in congress this November, He said in effect, they “can stew in your own juice." Whether or not the spectacle of the President stumping the country in search of popular support is viewed as admirable or otherwise, it certainly must be regarded as a phenomenal pilgrimage in the annals of American politics. At first flaunting a “non-political” banner, which he soon discarded, Mr. Tnnnan traveled 8,534 miles on eight different railroads, 720 miles by automobile, 225 miles by air, 25 miles across Puget sound by yacht and one mile by ski-lift. In that* political hegira the Pres ident brought the public up to date on the background of what is prob ably the most bitter feud beteween a President and congress since the days of Andrew Johnson. There is no doubt that the Presi dent, safely back at his desk in Washington, was feeling that he had accomplished pretty much what he had set out to do: The arousing of voter-interest in the issues at stake and the presentation of him self to the people in the role of a comradely but hard-hitting Presi dent who is the watchdog of their welfare. PALESTINE: Mediation Although the situation in Pales tine—the truce between warring Arabs and Jews—has been over shadowed in the U. S. by the clamorous news from the Republi can convention, Count Folke Ber- nadotte’s negotiations were continu ing—and so was the tension. There were no indications, how ever, that the United Nations media tor was having any signal successes in bringing Israel and the Arab states together on terms. As the truce went into its second week the U. S. assigned three de stroyers in the Mediterranean to immediate duty with the Palestine mediator to help supervise the ar mistice. The destroyers, American offi cials said, were not empowered to use force of any kind in patrol duties, nor would they be allowed to stop or board any ships. Meanwhile, to inject a further atmosphere of law and order into Palestine the first United Nations “army” had been started on a shoe string. Thirty permanent U. N. guards from Lake Success were flown east to help supervise the truce, along with 20 other volun teers selected from U. N. secretariat employees, TARGETS: Fleet Test Battleships New York and Nevada; survivors of the Bikini atom bomb test, were scheduled to be sunk this month as targets during Pacific fleet tests. The two old battlewagons will be towed 30 miles south of Honoluluto play their final role with the navy they have served through two wars. They will be used to test weapons of the fleet In tactical maneuvers. MEAT: TooPopular With the exception of vegetarians and some carrot juice addicts, nearly everyone likes meat. And in the U. S. everyone eats a lot of it. That is why all the Mt. and Airs. Jack Sprats in America are deeply incensed whenever the meat supply falls off from the normally prodi gious amounts available to the con sumer. A condition of that general de scription ciurently prevails in the U. S. and, according to R. J. Eggert of the American Meat institute, it will take at least a year following good crops in 1948 to bring about any substantial increase in the amounts of beefsteaks, pork chops and bacon on the table. Biggest trouble, Eggert said, is that the ratio of the eaters to the edibles has grown too top heavy since the war. Wartime drain of flocks and herds and last year's short corn crop are responsible for the currently de clining animal population. But there is no comparable de cline in demand in sight The meat industry forecasts a continuing steady demand for meat because: Incomes are near an all-time high; the real income (actual purchasing power) of the average consumer is one-fourth greater than in 1939; pop ulation has increased 15 million in the past decade; people are con vinced of the nutritive value of meat. SHIPMENTS: Restricted Widespread agitation by politi cians, newspapers and just plain people over shipment of crucial U. S. goods to Russia had paid off in what economists might term an unfavorable balance of trade with the Soviets. During April, when the clamp- down on exports to Russia first took full effect, the United States re ceived $12,594,841 more goods from the Soviet Union than it shipped. Whether that imbalance will turn out to be strategically unfavorable to the U. S. if the controversy with Russia continues to expand is a question that the next few years probably will answer. In its simplest form the situation is a paradox. It is an axiom in in ternational relations that unrestrict ed trade among nations is one of the best guarantors of peace. Yet the restrictions on export trade to Russia last April were Imposed to prevent shipment of potential war goods to the Soviets. Significant is the fact that U. S. imports from Russia were higher in April than in any other month this year except March, indicating that there has been no immediate effort by Moscow to retaliate for the tightened U. S. controls. One oddity, perhaps also signifi cant, was Russia’s shipment of $1,312,382 worth of manganese and chrome, both basic items in the manufacture of war materials. Job Done Sen. Arthur Capper (Bep., Kas.) is 83 years old and has represent ed Kansas in the senate for 30 years. Now he has announced that he will not run for re-election. He thinks it is time for him to step aside in favor of a younger man. MAGINOT: Try Again? France’s Maginot line, that sup posedly impenetrable, concrete-and- steel system of static defense that failed to stop the Nazis in 1940, is being touted now as a shield against possible Russian attacks. Some French army engineers even go so far as to say that the United States would be wise to finance the reconditioning of the Maginot line as insurance against the Red army. And at least one of France's top military leaders, Gen. Jean de Lattre de Tassigny, is reported to believe that the line should be in vestigated with the idea that its immense underground forts might be transformed into atomic bomb shelters. When the fortresses came into Allied hands near the close of the war it was discovered that the Nazis, had removed much less of the armament and equipment than had been believed. Most of the guns, minus only the' breech blocks, had been left in place. Simple fact, however—and it is accepted by most U. S. mili tary men—is that the Maginot line is badly outmoded by present swift and mobile methods of warfare, and further, that it was outmoded even before the start of World War n. Washington Di9 e s t One Diplomat Knew Better: Scratch One Tyro Diplomat By BAUKHAGE News Atudyst and Commentator WASHINGTON.—Back in the partially-deserted capital after one and before another political convention in these days when Washington’s tiger Eeat drives those who are not too driven other wise out to the mountains and beaches, I took a short ride with a friendly official who, like most of the press and radio, has to stick out a good share of the summer in the city. We passed some of the last few. fine old residences and a number of embassies and legations. Shutters were drawn, orange-red paint was smeared in a pattern I never have been able to understand on ironwork of high picket-fences and window bars. Some windows were bdarded up. “If it hadn’t been for you,” I re marked to my companion sitting be side me in what he alludes to as ‘the ta x p a y e r’s limousine,’ “I might not have been in Wash ington this sum mer. I might have been Ioaf- iiig at a moun tain - lakeside or elsewhere ...” “How so?” he inquired. “Don’t you re c a ll,” I asked, “that you were a newspaperman yourself once and, corollarily speaking, met a lot of interesting people? I was one of them. That meeting killed what I thought then was to be a brilliant diplomatic career.” The story begins right across the street from the office I now occupy on Eighteenth street, in a fine old brick house which I saw first in the year 1914. The carriage drive in front of it is blocked now by the curbing, probably because the traf fic officials thought no automobile could safely make the turn which a “spanking pair” negotiated so easily three decades ago. A sign on the lamp-post in front of the house says “no parking at any time.” A brass plate over one of the windows, still barred with the graeefully-curving ironwork of another century says: “Colum bus University.” The plate it re placed used to say “Former Home of Secretary of State Lansing." In 1914 it was some two hours after leaving that red brick house that I began “putting off”—(putting things off is a great art and one that has reached a high point of refinement in Washington. I always have practiced it.) If I hadn't put off then, I might have become a diplomat. As it was, all I got was deadlines the rest of my life. It happened this way. I had just returned from an extended period in Europe where I had been going through the motions of acquiring an education. In the process I acquired the ambition to become a member of the foreign service of the state department. I planned to rise, by easy stages, on pure merit, of course, to the position of ambassador to the Court of S t James. Beyond that, as a cabinet officer says following a change in administration, I had no plans. I did have four out of five nec essary qualifications which I knew from experience on the Quai d’Orsay and elsewhere assured'a successful diplomatic career. The four which I possessed were a top-hat, a tailcoat, striped pants and a pair of spats. The fifth I was confident I could soon acquire easily since I had an excellent letter to the father-in-law of the secretary of state, who had been a secretary of state himself and an important pillar of Wash ington society. I was sure that under such auspices I could acquire that sine qua non—a wife rich enough to keep a diplomat in the' style to which he is supposed to be accustomed. I recall that afternoon very well. I rang the bell to that door—well it was a different door of course— there are four there now with brass handles worn shiny by ambitious Columbians—but at least the door which that afternoon was to be my portal to a brilliant career was right there in the same frame. It opened, I handed the silk hat and ebony stidk to the servant and in a few moments I was being warmly greeted by a gentleman wearing what Sam Blythe once called the most diplomatic whiskers in Washington, John Watson Foster. I saw that my striped pants and tailcoat which had just enough of a continental cut to make a proper impression, as well as the bow- from-the-waist I had learned in Berlin, were doing their work and I made mental note of the less unattractive unattached females. So after tossing off a bon mot or two, I left, feeling that my career was virtually launched. It was still fairly early, so I de cided to drop in at the National Press club to which my old school mate, David Lawrence, had given me a guest card. As the weather was fine, I decided I might as well walk and giye Connecticut avenue a chance to admire my distinguished stripes and tails, although tailcoats and top-hats, per se, caused very little consternation in those days. As I walked, I idly speculated on what course I would take if knee- breeches were insisted upon when I was presented at court. Meanwhile, I observed the strolling young ladies who, though probably unable to support an ambassador, were never theless quite as attractive as any of the better-qualified ones at the re ception. I had just about decided not to make an issue of the knee-breeches thing—after all I had been on the stage for a short period in my career and a couple of pairs of long stock ings underneath would do for my calves what nature hadn’t—when I found myself at the club. A tall, black-haired gentleman arose and gave my a dignified greet ing. I had thought it best while I was considering my diplomatic ca reer to accept a temporary position with the Associated Press—a posi tion I received after some rather tall talk on the part of David Law- ence and a kindly letter from Su perintendent Roberts of the Paris bureau for whom I had worked. The gentleman who greeted me at the club was one of the staff which I was to join, assigned to the state department. And he was the man I alluded to—the friendly official— in the early paragraphs of this column. Bight there, or shall we say in the course of an hour or two, there developed the beginning of a beautiful friendship and the be ginning of the end of any illusions concerning a diplomatic career. I applied for membership in the club, never went to another “at home” in the fine old brick house on Eighteenth street. From that time on it has been deadlines instead of receiving lines. Although I didn’t realize it at the time I really wasn’t properly equip ped for a diplomatic career — my spats were black. The diplomatic world has not been altogether neglected in the course of meeting deadlines, but when I entered that allegedly romantic demesne as I still do in the course of my job, it is by way of the back door, an entrance which, I have discovered, often provides a much more revealing view of the sur roundings. Perhaps it isn’t polite to refer to the chancery entrance that way, but it is certainly not the front door. As it turned out, not many weeks after I had given up my dreams of becoming a Machiavelli or a Metter- nich, I found myself a caller at six or eight embassies a day—I was put on the diplomatic run because a war had broken out and it was quite as important for belligerents and nervous neutrals to provide news from their points of view as it was for us to collect it. The butlers in most of the em bassies before World War I would as soon admit a reporter as they would a rug-peddler or a scissors- grinder. It required considerable working over to bring them into line. And what a change today! The amount of time, money and energy expended by foreign nations in get ting information to the American radio, press and public is one of the major items on their Washington budgets! * * * A nother Jatvbone For Samson An . old-fashioned dentist thinks the Russians have Hitler’s jaw. The dentist, Dr. Plaschke, says he read in a German dentistry magazine that his former assistant, now in Russian custody, had identified a jaw which the Russians were toy ing with as Hitler’s. Dr. Plaschke claims the assistant couldn’t positively identity it, but he himself feels it must be Hitler’s because the magazine ridicules the work as old-fashioned. Plaschke says he did an old- fashioned job on Hitler when he made a bridge of 12 teeth in 1934. Plaschke also claims to have studied dentistry at the Univer sity of Philadelphia in 1908. Their methods have probably advanced since then, but Ilitler was old- fashioned about some things. All we can do is hope the bridge pained him. And remember thatthat jawbone, if it’s authentic, slew more men than the one from a similar source that Samson used when he went after the Philistines. . * • The Palestine problem has so many ramifications of interests and counter-interests that, like an ice berg, only a fraction of its bulk is visible in the open discussion and debate. * * » One ol the features of the Re publican convention was a mam moth scapple breakfast.

Russian town of Totma, 400 miles east of Leningrad, is building a monument to honor the memory of a native son, Ivan Kuskov who in 1832 raised the Russian flag on the bastions of Fort Boss, which he had built in California. The settlers of Fort Boss explored the area for about 6S miles around, discovered several rivers- and the highest peak of northern California, Mount Shas ta. Fort Ross was about 50 miles north of San Francisco. Ross in this case is the root word of “Russia.” For 30 years the California fortress was an outpost of imperial Rus. Cat Retrieves Mice to Earn His Daily Crackers and Milk ROCHESTER, N. Y.—A big black cat named “Eight-Ball” is guardian and retriever in a mousery at nearby Avon, where white mice are bred for use in medical research. In his duties, Eight-BaU has a thousand strains put on his innate desire to kill mice. One lapse, how ever, would mean his permanent exile and loss of the softest touch a cat might ever have in his nine lives. He aids his master, J. Louis Cleaver, a former Rochester school teacher, by corraling mice that es cape from any of the several thousand breeding cages. He gath ers errant ones into his mouth and returns them to Cleaver. His reward for bringing them back alive is a dish of mashed crackers According to the 1945 census of agriculture, nearly a third of our farms in 1944 each grew less than $1,000 worth of products. Nearly 60 per cent of all farms each turned out less than $2,000 worth of pro ducts. Nearly three-fourths of our farms grew less than $3,000 worth of products. The operators of these farms took in much less cash than the amount of those figures—and still had to pay their production costs. A great many in this big group are not now able to meet their farm and family costs from' farm incomes. Many of these farms, of course, are part-time and subsistence units.

I 'S for full Lalo color ca Veis Get Snubbed pHAELIE HALLECK, who used to V ' be one of the best-liked members of congress when he was an ordi nary young representative from In diana, has now risen to the esteemed job of house Republican majority leader and can give lessons on how to “win enemies and alienate peo ple.” Halleck recently kept three repre sentatives of veterans’ organizations cooling their heels two hours in his outer office, then gave them the here’s-your-hat-what’s - your - hurry treatment. His callers—John Williamson of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Francis Sullivan of the Disabled American Vets and Robert Mc Laughlin of AMVETS—wanted to find out why the house leadership was blocking various vet measures, and brought with them a pamphlet, written by Gen. Bonner Fellers, for mer publicity adviser to General MacArthur and now veterans’ ad viser to the Republican national committee. The pamphlet boasted what the G. O. P. congress had done for ex-servicemen. “You could drive a 10-mule team through some of the loopholes in this document,’' asserted William son. "Actually, this congress so far has been noted for what it hasn’t done for veterans. General Fellers apparently had such a tough time making up a list of accomplishments that he included the army-navy merger bill. That didn’t help war vets, and there’s a question that the merger has done the army and navy any good. “In fact, when you get down to cases,” continued the VFW spokes man, "this congress has done abso lutely nothing about even the most urgent kind of veterans’ legislation, such as bills for the relief of widows, orphans and disabled vets.” Halleck grunted impatiently as he looked through the Fellers booklet: “We can’t do everything. It’s 500 million dollars for this, and more millions for something else, and 1300 million dollars for federal aid to education—” He stopped suddenly and looked at Williamson, inquiring: “I under stand the vets want that, also.” “Yes, sir,” replied the VFW spokesman. “My organization is for the education bill.” The G. O. P. leader promised to “take up” the widows-orphans-dis- abled vets question with the Repub lican steering committee, jumped up, opened his office door and “invited” his callers out. * * » Infra-Committee Polities G. O. P. FRIENDS of the real- estate lobby tried a smart, last- minute maneuver to try to block the housing bill. Noticing that only four or five Democratic members of the house banking and currency committee were present, G. O. P. Congressman Clarence Kilburn of Malone, N. Y., quickly moved to report out the Wolcott bill minus public housing, slum clearance and other humani tarian features of the original Taft- Ellender-Wagner bill. Representative Boggs of Louisi ana and Mike Monroney of Okla homa jumped into action, rounded up Democratic colleagues and all were on hand to help defeat the Kilbum motion, 14 to 13, with the support of three Republicans— Hull of Wisconsin, Stratton of Illi nois and Scott of Pennsylvania. G. O. P. Congressman Frank Sund- strom of East Orange, N. J., then moved that loans to farm housing be deleted. This put Scott, a city man from Philadelphia, on the spot. But Scott fooled his G. O. P. col leagues by voting "present,” thus defeating the motion by a 13-to-13 tie vote. Again, Republicans Hull and Stratton, both with many farm voters, voted with the Democrats. Hovrever the desperate Republicans didn’t give up. Representative John Kunkel of Harrisburg, Pa., demand ed a reconsideration of the vote, still hoping Scott would switch back to the Republicans. * • * Rank Has Its Privileges NOW THAT THE DRAFT and a big army are on the way back, the Doolittle report and the caste sys tem should be taken out and dusted off.

Like any up-to-date cocktail lounge, it is furnished with a television set, streamlined bar and adjoining kitchen. SlightDangerNoted In DDT Dusted Corn TesfsofSiIageShow Minute Trace in Miik Farm ers are being told to use DDT dust or spray for control of European corn borer. This raises a question.- Can corn dusted . or sprayed with DDT be used for silage for beef or dairy cattle without dan ger to the animals, or to people who use the milk? Tests in Wisconsin showed there was a trace of DDT in the milk of dairy cows fed silage made from canning factory pea vines which had been dusted with DDT. The amount of DDT was so minute, however, that it was not considered danger ous. On corn, an application of 30 pounds of dust (containing 5 per cent DDT) per acre might amount to two ounces of DDT per ton of si lage; that is, if all the dust stayed on the corn, which is extremely un likely. Even that much would result in only about a gram of DDT daily in the ration of a cow or steer. DDT toxicity studies at a private research farm indicate no danger to animals from considerably larger amounts. Even so, if any farmer fears a trace of DDT in milk from silage made from sprayed or dusted corn, he can feed ihe silage to steers, heifers or dry cows. <r Twice-Day Record With a record-smashing total of 1,118.8 pounds of butterfat, Crest- view Toitilla Susan, purebred Hol stein dairy cow owned by Lake- field Farm s, Clarkston, Mlch., has established a new all-time U. S. butterfat figure for cows being milked twice daily. “Susan” pro duced close to 1,400 pounds of ta ble butter during the year. Herds and Flocks FaU pigs have advantages over spring litters because they are far rowed under more favorable condi tions. Sows and gilts have been on summer pasture soaking up sun shine during pregnancy. Iowa State coUege swine specialists say faU pigs usually come stronger and more pigs are saved. Turkey raisers are being advised now not to put baking soda or salt in drinking water for poults, because use of these in excessive amounts causes a condition known as “water beUy." Burn the carcass of every animal that dies of anthrax. Don’t open the carcass. Soak in with kerosene, cover it with a load of cobs or straw, put a load of manure over them and set fire to the pile. H possible, bum anthrax carcasses right where the animal dies. Castrate pigs any time after they are a week old. After castration, keep them on clean grass pasture where there are no mudholes, to re duce danger of lockjaw infection. Caution Urged in Feeding Salt to Poultry Flock Extra salt wiU control cannibalism for a short time after it is added to the ration of chickens, according to Pennsylvania State coUege. Us ual amount is two teaspoons per gallon of drinking water. Salt should be fed only long enough to stop cannibalizing, except the small amount contained in the mash. Feeding large quantities actually may prove harmful. A AC'* crpH is emeus I Jtiger is angry U because HE HAShfTANY STRIPES ^ @ 0 5 P R A W THEM IN FOR HIM.

Naomi, Woman Of Faith Lesson for July 18,1948 IF WE are to understand Ruth, cherished heroine of the book bearing her name, we m ust know Naomi, her mother-in-law—woman of faith in God and surpassing patience and sacrifice in ser vice to her day and generation. It is the Book of Ruth which- we have for Sunday’s lessons, with Psalm s 28:6-9 as the devotional read ing. The golden text, “Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God,” Rutb 1:16. Dr. Newton IN SEARCH OF BREAD FAMINE in .Judah, where Elime- Iech and his wife, Naomi, and their sons, Mahlon and Chilion, dwelt, drove them to Moab1 in search of bread. Elimelech died, and the sons married young women of Moab, Ruth and Orpah. And then the sons died. Naomi, feeling that she must not longer remain in Moab, an nounced her intention to return to her native land, and bade Ruth and Orpah farewell. In one brief decade Naomi had lost husband and sons, and now she longed for home. * » * “INTREAT ME NOT TO LEAVE THEE” ORPAH accepted Naomi’s sug gestion, and turned away to her own people; but not so with Ruth. She loved Naomi. She could not give her up. Naomi had done some thing for Ruth in those years of sorrow and loss. “Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee; for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge. Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. Where thou diest, I will die, and there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and m e.” With these sublime words, Ruth lashed herself to Naomi, and to gether they started on the long trek to Bethlehem. * * * WHEN FAITH CONQUERS HERE we witness conquering faith—conquering faith in the hearts of Naomi and Ruth. And they come to Bethlehem. It was the harvest season, and Naomi di rected Ruth to glean in the field of Boaz, a wealthy and generous- hearted citizen of Bethlehem. Faith in action! And the world loves the story of Ruth becoming the wife of Boaz, and thus the mother of Obed, the grandfather of David the king in the ancestral line of Jesus Christ, the King of kings. And Naomi, through her conquer ing faith, held in her arm s the little baby, Obed, and dreamed of God’s unfolding purposes to bless the world. In this unsurpassed romance we witness faith in adversity, faith in association, faith in conduct, faith in claim, faith in confidence, and faith in a glorious climax. * * * WHEN FAITH CONQUERS LIFE is always ennobled when faith conquers. It is easy to imagine how history might have missed this beautiful love story, had not Naomi been a woman of con quering faith. She might have given up and over to her great sorrow and pined away in grief and defeat. But Naomi followed the gleam. And her trust in God shed its gentle glow into the lonely heart of the Moabite widow, Ruth. Ruth clave TiTitn Naomi. She could not do other wise. “Truth is stranger than fic tion.” And all history was enriched. It is ever so when faith conquers. Thus the poet states the case: "God mooes in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform, "He plants his footsteps on the sea, And rides upon the storm." • « • {Copyright by the International Council ot Beligioua Education on behaif of 40 Protestant denominations.

Your Health De partment Missionaries introducing modem medicine into China and India re port that surgery is most eagerly accepted. Other medical work, such as internal medicine and pre ventive medicine is much less readily acceped. The reasons are clear. The Chi nese gentleman says in effect. “I see a hot, flushed, weak patient groaning because of pain in his abdomen. I see you remove his appendix by surgery. I see his face relax, I feel his fever fall. I no longer hear his moaning. Mv eyes, ears, and hands sav you’ve helped him. But this preventive medicine, these vaccines, this san itation business—only dull statis tics and my imagination tell me it’s worthwhile. Maybe I would not get typhoid anyway.” In Davie County our will to progress is facing a real test. Few of us have seen cases of typhoid, diphtheria, smallpox. W ith ima gination and a careful look at the figures, we’ll realize vaccination is worthwhile and we’ll keep these diseases away. Vaccinations may be obtained at the Health Department in Mocksville every Thursday after noon and Saturday morning; and at the Health Department in Coo- Ieemee every Monday afternoon. EUGENE E.

There are sev eral varieties of sweet alyssum, ranging in height from four to 12 inches. Height is an important point to consider in making the se lection, since shearing is necessary for continuous bloom. Plants that are too low for shearing—those that grow to a height of only four or four-and-a-half inches, for example, will go to seed early in the season.

CARNIVAL NIGHT By MARY KEMPE CHEATHAM A PfOfiuct of Gmerat Foods ALL along Elm street to the old ^ park grounds, the carnival was drawing people like a magnet. From where Ellie sat, on the top step in front of Mrs. Blodgett’s boarding house, she could see them hurrying along in groups and couples, laugh ing and chatting, their merriment floating back to her on the early summer air. Cars whizzed by, carry ing others, till it seemed the entire population of the little town was rushing in one direction. AU, that is, except Ellie—and possibly Mrs. Blodgett, who, now that the supper work was over, sat contentedly in the kitchen, resting her feet. There was nothing in the world like carnival music, reflected EUie, leaning her head wistfully against the porch rail. The nostalgic ripple of tunes, half sad, came to her on sudden bursts of breeze, cutting into her heart with the sharpness of pain. She closed her eyes to shut out the sight of the couples—always the couples, passing through the early dusk, smiling into each other’s eyes, murmuring words of which only the tone need be heard. Carnivals are for couples, she thought No, for children, too; for families, even for old people, visit ing their neighbors and winning lamps and blankets. But not for someone alone. Never for some one alone. Tou could walk through the crowded grounds un der the blaze of lights, caught in the blare of melody, and become the loneliest person in all the world. She had been doing fine till the carnival came to Grey- ville. Why, she thought, oh, why, did the carnival have to come? She opened her eyes, at a soft touch on her knee, and saw Patty Brown, a little neighbor girl, sitting on the step below her. "Gee,” sighed Patty, on a long, mournful breath. "Isn’t it LONE SOME?” Ellie smiled. “For you, too?” she asked. Patty nodded, hard, “Yes,” she said soberly. “Everybody’s gone to the carnival but us. I guess you and me, and Miz Blodgett and my Grandma, we’re about the only ones in town that didn't go. Miz Blodgett, she never goes anywhere, anyway, and neither does Grandma since my Grandpa died. My Grandpa was swell! He always took me to car nivals.” She shook-her head in rap turous recollection. "You live with your grandmoth er?” Ellie asked. She felt suddenly ashamed of how little she knew the neighbors. She had been boarding at Mrs. Blodgett’s several months, since first She came to Greyville to work in its dress factory and to work even harder at the serious business of forgetting Bruce. "Ever since I remember,” an swered Patty. "My Grandpa loved carnivals like. I do. Grandma was always scoldin’ him about it, but he’d take me every night and we’d go on the rides and buy cotton candy. My,” she breathed, “I sure miss Grandpa.” Ellie studied the serious small face, framed by the smooth brown pigtails. Here too was someone adjusting to a loss, and she had not even taken the trouble to find it out. She had seen Patty often enough, running errands for Mrs. Blodgett and playing hopscotch or jacks on the wide front sidewalk, but she had been too absorbed in her own affairs to ask about the child. How selfish people are, hought Ellie. “Patty,” she asked humbly. “would you like to go to the car nival with me?” “Yipes!” uttered the little girl, al most toppling off the step backward, “Would I!” “Be careful!” cried Eliie, thrusting an arm about the little shoulders. She laughed in spite of herself to see the change in the young face. There was nothing serious about it now. It was afire with the dazzle of carnival lights themselves. “I’ll go ask Grandma,” shouted Patty, bounding across' the lawn. “I’ll be right back.” “Bring a wrap,” called Ellie after the swinging pigtails, “It may be cool on the rides.” She went inside for her own light coat and to go over her makeup at the dresser. Her face in the mirror was smooth and quiet, showing only In pallor the turmoil of the empty months. It was still quite a good face, the eyes a looking at Patty’s'happy face, It Is I who am without the magic. The barkers called from their concessions, drawing the crowds with imperative cries. Girls passed, carrying feathered kew- pies, spangled whips, bright birds and monkeys on sticks. There was a blend of hotftog and hamburger odors, coffee aroma, the roast ing fragrance of peanuts and pop corn. Everywhere were people, eating ice-cream sandwiches, drinking pink lemonade from sweaty glasses. Patty, high on the merry-go- round, clung lovingly to her horse’s bridle and waved to Ellie every time she passed. “That was fun,” she beamed, fin ished at last, running to Ellie for new-adventure. They joined hands and started over the grounds. “Who’s your girl friend, Sis?” asked a man’s voice. Instantly guarded and alert; Ellie turned to look. She gazed warily, straight into two gray eyes. So gray, she thought. I’ll always be a push over for gray eyes. He was not a dressed up young man, but he looked nice with his soft shirt open at the neck, showing his tanned "Mr. Henyon already, knows you haven’t got a boy friend,” soothed Patty. “I told him when he asked this afternoon.” wide, deep blue, the hair a dusky cloud, brushed back from a widow’s peak at the forehead. With lip stick and rouge and a deliberate turning up of the lips at the corners, it was even an animated face. By concentrating on "Patty, Ellie found she could keep the lips curved up ward. She would forget all other carnivals. “Oh, my goodness,” complimented Patty. “You look beautiful!” Ellie laughed. She tucked the child’s hand under her arm and they started for the park grounds. The groups were dwindling now. As Patty had said, most everybody was already there. 'Tt’s funny you haven’t got a boy friend,” Patty mused. “Pretty as you are.” “I used to have one,” Ellie obliged, out of a long silence. “His name was Bruce.” Patty considered gravely, but asked no more questions. “Oh look!” thrilled Patty. “There it is. Please, please, let’s go on everything!” “Most everything,” Ellie amended, “not the really rough rides. But the others.” She held tight the warm, squirm ing hand in her own, to fortify her self for the first glimpse of the sprawling tents. “You have to get over this, Ellie, my girl,” she told herself, gulping down the lump in her throat. “Tonight’s as good a time as any." It was like all carnivals before, without the magic. No, she decided, A PRAYER FOR INNER STRENGTH I IoswiiKba, Td SbU I cnsct-SN Lqiood Ilus will of UM Y« d lbs tillioi uhes cool In ra ta I So srili o f bust fijul coflifoit tbnm£h Iht I blow—Iul Ooi ia t Cod, snfncel U gswtt Co* ne Sb!

His face was tanned too, right up to his straight black hair. His teeth looked even and white when he smiled. “Oh,” said Patty, startled. “She’s Ellie. She lives at Miz Blodgett’s.” “Yes,” agreed the man. “Remem ber, you told me that this afternoon when I got your ball out of the street.” “Uh-huh, I remember,” said Patty. “He’s Mr. Kenyon,” she told Ellie, “the man that was riding around in the loudspeaker car. He told me his name today.” “Fun and frolic for all,” mimicked the young man, using his hands for a megaphone, “that’s me.” “Since Ellie hasn’t a boy friend,” Patty suggested, “maybe you’d like to take us on the ferris wheel?” Ellie’s chill expression warmed to a flush. “Pat!” she exclaimed. “Mr. Kenyon already knows you haven’t got a boy friend,” soothed Patty. “I told him when he asked this afternoon.” “Pat!” protested Ellie again, feebly. “She used to have one,” Pat con tinued helpfully, “but not any more.” “I used to have a girl friend too,” offered Mr. Kenyon. “I know how it is. I’d like to take you on the ferris wheel. Take over for a few minutes, will you, Mike?” he called to a man at the shooting gallery. Helplessly, Ellie found herself engineered along. “So you were asking about me,” she managed at last. “Yes,” he answered. “In a little place like this, who wouldn’t be? You’re an attractive girl, you know. This is a nice town too.” “What ever happened to her?” asked Patty, “the girl friend you haven’t got any more?” “She didn’t like my job,” replied Mr. Kenyon. “She said she couldn’t see any future in it, but it was the only work I knew.” “Huh!” snorted.. Fat, “She must have been silly!” “Oh, no,” said Mr. Kenyon, “but she made me mad and we had a quarrel. I told her there was another girl who would like it fine. Thmre wasn’t, of course, but my real girl thought so.” “Pat’s right,” agreed Ellie. “She was very foolish. There’s no more future to anything, than love.” They walked up the ramp and the carnival man fastened all three into a seat, with Patty in the middle. The wheel started its wonderful back ward swoop, taking thepi up, up, above the tents, above the trees, above the little trailers where the carnival workers lived. The stars were close, and the people, oh, so small and far below. Ellie shut her 'eyes, recalling another carnival, an other time. She opened them when a hand reached out to clasp her own. “Hello, Ellie,” said M t. Kenyon softly, the gray eyes looking deep into hers. “Hello, Bruce,” whispered Ellie with a quiet smile/ His arm, to reach her, had also to encircle Patty, who seemed not to notice. They tad stopped at the top now, rocking gently in the night. Patty stared over the seat edge into space. ___ “Oh, my,” she quavered. “THIS MTTRT B E ALM OST HEAVEN!” /3RESS, BOLERO FOR SUMMER WEAR YOUTHFUL FROCK IS EASY-SEWING 8309 (2-20 Sun Dress Just right for sunny hours out of doors—a simple yet smart sun dress that can be made plain or in con trast.

Once the principle had been adopted, they say, increasing amounts could be expected. Those ac quainted with the way federal projects grow and grow and grow, would nat urally expect this to happen. Within a decade the federal government would be carrying the chief burden of pub lic education. Is this bad? Just to suggest the idea is to show the danger. Decisions of policy for public education would be made on the national level. After such nationalization of the public schools, it would be easy to obtain legislation requiring all students to attend public schools for "national indoctrination” purposes. This is exactly the type of thing we decry in Russia. These were the methods that made millions of school children just like Hitler and Mussolini wanted them. How to Control To favor federal aid is to argue for the exchange of our present public school system, with locally controlled public schools operating alongside many private and church related schools, for a nationally financed and nationally controlled educational sys tem. No two ways about it, federal aid would mean undesirable federal controls. Controls do go along with financial assistance, and our federal govern ment has no record to the contrary. In fact, the Supreme Court of the United States has already declared, in the case of farm subsidies that the federal government may control that which it subsidizes. Political Spoils When we recall powerful influences within our own generation to get polit ical influence into nearly every Ameri can institution, it doesn’t take much imagination to see federal control of the American school system following any general federal aid program. We can all remember when, at election time, WPA workers were told: “Re member who your friends are” when you vote. Dependence upon Washington sets up a political system, super-deluxe model. I would look upon the nationali zation of American education, which could be expected to follow federal aid bills, as a decisive step in the develop ment of a totalitarian state. Should America nationalize her education, it is my conviction that full nationaliza tion of industry, distribution, and ag riculture would follow within a gen eration. Let’s Keep Freedom We must remember that the one nation in the recent war which was able to arm itself against the axis powers was not a socialized state. The one nation that was able to lend arms to its allies was not a socialized state. The one country now being called upon to help all the rest of the world is not a socialized nation. The one nation now providing the greatest educational sys tem the world has ever seen is America. I am not one of those who believe that in order to remain great we must discard suddenly the methods and prin ciples by which we became great. Two years after England started national izing her industries she was forced to vote power to the government to tell her citizens where to work and what to do! We want none of this. But, if we nationalize education through so-called federal aid, we will get all of these ills and more! Just Tesling xnem The nice old lady smiled at the little girl who had been left in charge of the cake shop. "Don’t you sometimes feel tempted to eat one of the cream puffs, my dear?” she said. The little girl was quite shocked. "Of course not,” she replied. “That would be stealing. I onlv lick them.” HOMt-CANNEO ASPARAGUS FOR WINTER LUXURY DAVIE BRICK COMPANY DEALERS IN GOOD COAL Da> Vhonp 194 - Nieht W--nnc Il^ Vlo-ksVille, N. C.

This statement is made in the Bsll Blue Book, lead ing home canning guide. Garden- fresh, sound, cli>an vegetables are the only kind worth canning and it is a waste of time to can over-ripe, stale, tough produce. But how re warding it is when crisp, fresh veg- j •tables, canned according to direc- I tions given in such a reliable guide , as the Ball Blue Book, are opened for winter use! So lay hands on the first quantity of tender, firm asparagus shoots you can get and put them up in Ball Jars for this winter. Asparagus tips are a luxury dish when snow is on the ground. Grade the asparagus for size and wash clean. Cut off tough ends and remove the scales which harbor dirt. — Photo courtesy Ball Bros. Co. Place upright in wire basket or in square cheesecloth and hold three minutes in boiling w ater which ! readies just below the tips. Pack up right in hot Ball Jars, using a knife to guide the last stalks into each jar. Add one teaspoon salt to each quart. Cover with boiling water, j Process 40 minutes at 10 pounds ■ pressure. If preferred, asparagus j may be cut into two-inch pieces be- | fore pre-cooking for packing. Duplicate This Picture and Save Money! a m II 4 “ -1J i No greater indication of the neces sity for more home canning need be cited than the U. S. Department of Agriculture campaign for 20 million home gardens in 1948, an increase of three million over last year’s goal. The department says adequate home gardens are needed to increase the domestic food supply when many areas of the world will desperately need all the food this country can ship abroad. So while you can set up a picture like the one above in your own kitchen, Mrs. Housewife, be sure to do so and you will have plenty of nourishing, flavorful home-canned fruits and vegetables for your fam ily’s use next winter. And you’ll be able to bolster your food budget against high prices! V * - J \ 'i- •i, > * —Photo courtesy Ball Bros. Co. Keep a supply of your favorite fruit jars, caps, lids and rubbers on hand; then you can put up fruits and vegetables as soon as they come from the garden or your grocer gets in a fresh supply. Select clean, sound, fully ripe fruits, young, tender, gard en-fresh vegetables, and can them according to your fruit jar manu facturer’s instructions. For Desseris Supreme—Home-Canned Peaches ■ ■ 1 1 1 W tfS -. . t e * Jrkte ■mm * The homemaker who has home- canned peaches on hsr shelves need never apologize when she serves des sert, for hoi!ie-canned peaches served right out the the jar are fit for a king! And, if there is time, peach upside down cake, peachcs served on angel food cake wedges and topped with whipped cream, peach ice cream, a whole galaxy of mouth watering desserts, can be made from this delicious, home-canned fruit. Sound, firm, tree-ripened peaches are best for canning. Grade them for size, color and condition, then wash and peel. Simply scalding in boiling water one minute and dip ping one-half minute in cold water will cause some varieties to skin easily. Paring with a knife is usually the b:.st way to peel peaches. They may then be cut in halves and the stones discarded. If you like, scrape the cavities of freestone fruit to remove the pink or red fibers. As peaches are halved, drop them in a weak solution of vinegar and salt water (one tablespoon salt to a gallon of cold water) to prevent dis coloring. Rinse before canning. Peaches may be canned by the cold pack or hot pack methods, but hot packing and processing in a water bath canner is considered superior. The Ball Blue Book gives the follow ing instructions. COLD PACK METHOD Pack peaches into hot Ball Jars, layers overlapping, cavity side down. Cover with boiling sirup made with one or two parts sugar to-one of water. Process from 20 to 35 min utes in hot-water bath. Use the longer period for extra large or very firm fruit. — Photo courtesy Ball Bros. Co. HOT PACK METHODS 1. Make a sirup of one or two parts sugar to one of water. Add peaches, a few at a time, and simmer until hot through (10 to 20 minutes). Pack into hot Ball Jars, layers over lapping, cavity side down. Cover with sirup in which peaches were cooked. Process 10 to 20 minutes in hot-w&ter bath. Can leftover Srup for pudding or ice cream sauce. 2. Add from one to 1% cups sugar and one cup boiling water to one gallon prepared peaches. Cook gently until peaches are hot through and sugar dissolved (10 to 20 min utes). Pack and process as instruct ed above. If there isn’t enough liquid to cover peaches in jar, add boiling water after peaches are packed. Use longest processing period for large, firm fruit.

R4 As we observe the failure of mul titudes of our youth today we real, ize there Is a vast cause for it. In fact we might say that there are many causes, and these climax In a few that are outstanding. One of the main causes of their failure in life—failure to reach life’s best and highest achievements, and a lack of real success In something great and worth while—is a lack of high aims and noble purposes. We accomplish and achieve in life according to our aims and pur poses, No one rises higher than he aims; no one accomplishes more than he purposes. If one’s aims and purposes are low, and be con tinues to live on that level, he will climb no higher. Of course it is easier to go down grade than It is to climb upward, but there is no honor in it, no greatness, no real and true success Trnlv great men and women turn from the road downward, and from all the de. grading and demoralizing evils of the world, and give themselves un to Gad. then aim high and purpose sublimely. Men do not rise higher than they aim; they do not accomplish more than they purpose. The highest aim and most noble and sublime ourpose is to live for God and do -His will. Th's will bring to one and all the best and most marvel ous success and outcome, both for time and eternity. We believe that every youth of our nation to day, who has the blessing of com mon sense, could become burning and shining lights, bless and uplift their fellowmen, make their mark, and know that life is a success rather than a failure. This should be the crowning glorv of every life. No one lives In vain when his life is deeply consencra'ed to God. along with high aims and noble purposes to which he devotes his time, talents and energies. He may not win fame, but he will gain the blessed approval of God, which is far better. A genius without high aims and noble purposes will fall; but a very ordinary man with high aims and noble purposes will bless his country and leave his in fluence behind to live after him. Amen. Your Own fault Over five hundred Sears-Rae- buck catalogues were received at the Larned, Kas., postoffice one day last week, says the Lamed pa per. It took forty-six sacks to bold them. It is said that each cata logue costs the firm one dollar to print. It took tweutv-eigbt cent- in postage for each catalogue. That means over $500 for the books and $100 for postage. Six hundred dollars spent In a small town by one mail order house for advertis ing. And yet some local merch ants who sell better articles at cheaper prices than the mail order houses are letting trade get away from them simply because they will not advertise—because they do not believe in advertising. Does advertising pay? Ask Sears-Roebuck. The only thing on earth that keeps up the mail or der house is advertising.

Do You Read The Record? Forger They Sent to Prison Sends Paintings to Police MARSHALLTOWN, IOWA.— The living rooms in the homes of Police Chief Sim Smith and Patrolman Charles Harbison are adorned with landscapes painted in oils by a check forger they sent to the state penitentiary. They received the paintings as gifts from Merle Sankey, a rubber check specialist who drew wide spread attention last year when his side talent as an artist was publi cized. Sankey, arrested at Galena, 111., spent six months there before he was transferred to the jail here. While awaiting transfer, he painted the women’s cell block in the Ga lena jail to resemble a bridal suite. He decorated another cell, used to house drunks overnight, with pink elephants on the walls. The paintings sent to the police officers depicted mountain scenes. Bans on Youngsters Cause One Man to Become Landlord DUBUQUE, IOWA. — Virden Hal sey, 27-year-old precision grinder at a local farm equipment plant, has remodeled an old hotel into seven apartm ents and is renting only to families with children. Halsey, who came here nine months ago from Alton, 111., said that he did it when landlords would not rent to him because he had two children, aged six and seven. To find a place for his family, Halsey bought an old hotel across the river at East Dubuque, 111., con verted it into apartments and an nounced his offer. The last of six families has moved in and Halsey’s own two children have arrived from Alton. Now there are “more than a dozen” children in the place, not counting those over 10 years of age, whom Halsey con siders "practically grown up.” Japanese Villagers Unveil Memorial Tablet to Yanks WAKAYAMA, JAPAN.—A stone memorial tablet dedicated to six American airmen killed during the war when their plane crashed in the mountains near Yamaji village, Wakayama prefecture, was un veiled by villagers.

BANDBOX BETTY By MARV KEMPE CHEATHAM XJEAT shimmered from the down- ^ town pavements. Torrid light fell in bars through the Venetian blinds in Mr. Humphreys’ private office, carrying with it a coppery odor, like that of a penny clutched too long in a perspiring palm. It was a hot day all right, and the city lay panting under the noonday sun. “Leave the door open, Miss Bar clay,” called Mr. Humphreys, as Betty returned from lunch. “Let the air circulate.” “Whew,” he added, mopping his brow, “we’ve got to get some air conditioning in this hotbox.” Betty smiled, removing her white gloves and her crisp white hat. Mr. Humphreys said the same thing every summer. She laid her gloves and white purse neatly away in the bottom desk drawer and sat down at the typewriter. With her blonde hair sleek and smooth and her pale green dress miraculously unwrin kled, she looked as cool and fresh as an iced limeade. “How do you do it, Miss Barclay!” marveled Mr. Humphreys, entering the cubicle of an outer office where she sat as secretary and receptionist. “You can’t be as cool as you look! Anyhow, let’s put this fan out here ,somewhere to stir up a little breeze.” He looked around vaguely, pulled out a chair a few feet from Betty’s desk, set the fan on it, plugged in the cord and returned to his own large desk through the open door marked Private. Betty gazed doubtfully at the fan whirring away on the chair before her. She anchored the fluttering pa pers on her desk with paperweights, and, with a little frown of annoy ance, smoothed back the tendrils of hair which were beginning to blow loose from the bun at the nape of her neck. She caught Mr. Hum phreys looking at her and smiled. After all, Mr. Humphreys was the boss. If he wanted to go around putting electric fans on chairs, it was no business of hers. Anyway, Mr. Humphreys was nice. Nice, and quite, quite happily married. They were all quite happily mar ried, thought Betty with a sigh, as she began on her transcription. AU the really nice members of the of fice force in the other departments, all the nicest salesmen. That busi ness of romance in an office was just something you read about in magazines. “Is Mr. Humphreys in?” She looked up as a tall, broad- shouldered, red-haired young man strolled toward her desk and thrust a business card into her hand. Be fore she knew what was happening, he had pulled up his trouser legs slightly, to preserve their meticulous crease, and had begun to assume a sitting position over the whirring fan. “Don’t sit down!” Betty shrieked, simultaneously with Mr. Humphreys’ shout. The young man catapulted away from the chair as though a bomb suddenly had sprung from the fan blades. Backed against Betty’s desk, he stared, then grinned. Mr. Humphreys, flown to the rescue, was mopping.his brow again, but not from heat. “That,” he said, shakily, “was a narrow escape.” He disconnected the fan and stood, bewilderedly, holding it. Her composure regained now that catastrophe had been averted, Betty became once more all coof efficiency. She glanced at the card. She chuckled. She could not help it. ‘ Would you, ’ she asked, “have had coverage for THAT?” The card read, “John J. Thomas, Insurance.” The young man chuckled, too. “I came here,” he remarked, “to talk to Mr. Humphreys about accident insurance.” “Sure, sure,” murmured Mr. Hum phreys, still shaken. "Come right in. Have one of the boys put that thing on a bracket for you,” he said to Betty, indicating the fan. When they emerged from Mr. Humphreys’ sanctum, John Thomas had a pleased expression on his face and, no doubt, a policy in the bag. “It was really her fault, you know,” he remarked to Mr. Hum phreys, loitering at the door. “She looked so cool, I didn’t even see that chair.” “Miss Barclay always looks cool In summer,” said Mr. Humphreys proudly, “and neat all the year ’round.” “Like she’s just stepped out of a bandbox,” John continued. She had a number of dates with John, their tempo always smooth and pleasant Her work suffered no misplaced commas, Mt. Humphreys was happy, John seemed happy and Betty was almost happy. Oidy—that was all that ever happened. Never once had John attempted to kiss her or even hold her hand. He was, she concluded finally, a confirmed bachelor. “Just as I," she thought, poking savagely at the typewriter keys, “am a confirmed old maid.” It was a Saturday, almost noon quitting time. John had not called, and the future suddenly became a whole series of weary calendar pages, neatly tom off day by day and deposited in the wastebasket. As she walked from the building, there was John’s convertible .parked at the entrance. “Get in,” he called, “we’re going on a picnic!” It was amazing how his red hair could brighten up the day! Betty was happily in the car before she even noticed his female compan ion. “Oh!” she gasped. For there, huddled between John and a bulg ing picnic basket, was a startling .apparition — a little girl with freckles, wide blue eyes and the same red hair! m £ Muggsy gave her a broad grin, the more effective for three missing teeth. “You’re pretty,” she said. “I like you." Betty flushed. She had had the expression applied to her before. Since her first days with the com pany, she knew she had been fa miliarly referred to by the other employees as “Bandbox Betty,” but it was disconcerting to be discussed in this fashion. “The least she can do,” he teased, “is give me a dinner date.” “That’s fair enough,” echoed Mr. Humphreys, “if it’s all right with Miss Barclay.” “Well,” conceded Betty, “but I warn you, I have all the insurance I need." Dinner with John Thomas was distinctly pleasant. It was cool in the Orchid room and the table ap pointments were perfect The floor show was good, the food even better. From cocktail to parfait, the courses were faultless. John himself met every requirement as an escort. Betty began to be glad Mr. Hum phreys had put the fan on a chair. “Not a hair out of place,” John commented, studying her across the table. “They drill it into you,” countered Betty, "at secretarial school. White collars, tidy fingernails, all that” “I’LL BET,” John said, suddenly, eyes twinkling, "YOU WOULDN’T EVEN GET MUSSED AT A PIC NIC!” They parted early for, as Betty pointed out, a good secretary had to have plenty of rest. Besides, there was the usual routine of washing hose and gloves, cleaning shoes and purse, doing her nails and pressing a dress for tomorrow. race IMitll (.rowell riT^OMORROWS bridge u I look ah d XjvX I Isanckcqr dung to view: |H v JR Irs pien ate crumbled, its rails are down, vlvlv •» fofioor would let aeduougtk Ivlvlj vi Tbeduuo ittpentitdtAtod deejv & Aodtbe wttenfeem end fiet; vXy; •I- I here aosed duibridge • tbousnd timet v’.vX I Though I never have rached it fet MW.

Every year, about this time, I take her on a picnic.” “Oh,” said Betty again, uncertain- ly. Muggsy gave her a broad grin, the more effective for three missing teeth. “You’re pretty,” she said. “I like you.” She climbed into Betty’s lap and settled herself with a com fortable sigh. “You’ve got a pretty dress,” she added, stroking it with a hand which was just a trifle grimy. Betty looked down at her wrinkled skirt, but under the child’s weight it could not be straightened. John, busy with getting the convertible out of the Saturday traffic, appeared not to notice. He looked different in wash trousers and sports shirt Muggsy1 too, wore a washable print dress. Betty ruefully considered her office apparel but made no comment. As they drove, the wind whipped at Betty’s hair. She had no net and all she could do was keep pinning the strands back in place. When they reached the picnic spot, Muggsy jumped up and down in de light. “C'n I wade, Uncle John, c’n I wade?” she called, casting off shoes and socks and stepping into the creek. “I’m going to look for crawdads,” she declared, peering stealthily under rocks in the shallow stream, now and then letting her dress tail dribble in the water. Betty was gazing into a pocket mirror, trying to smooth her hair. “Come help me,” John called, piling twigs in a little rock fireplace. “You unpack the lunch, while I build a fire to make the coffee and broil the steaks.” The fire smoked, ashes fell into the coffee, the charred stick forks made smudges. Betty did her best to stay neat, but Muggsy was every where at once, dribbling steak-juice, mustard and catsup. A stinging sen sation crept behind Betty’s eyelids as she recalled John’s admiring words, “I’LL BET YOU WOULDN’T EVEN GET MUSSED AT A PIC NIC.” She pulled ineffectually at her wrinkled frock, dabbed with a handkerchief at stains, wiped the dust from her shoes. It was unfair of John to put her to such a test. The. picnic dragged mercilessly on to an amusement park where Muggsy wanted to ride a roller coaster. Betty shuddered. She hated roller coasters, she hated flying turns, but she found herself hurtling through space with John and Muggsy in any number of crazy fashions. When they emerged, her bun was quite gone, the blonde hair hanging loosely about her shoulders. Her shoes were full of shavings from the amusement park grounds, she Vhad a run in her hose and her face V as smudged and devoid of makeup. John stared at her and laughed aloud. “What,” he asked, “has be- col ie of Bandbox Betty?” Someone, she thought, should slap his 'face, but before she could put the impulse into effect, he had seized her Klands and pulled her close. To her amazement, he kissed her fierce ly, before all the people in the amusement park, with Muggsy gig gling) at them both. Everything seemfjd to fade away as she kissed back., “That,’it” r he breathed, “is more like “I couldn’t have stood it,” he said, “to tiave you respond with nothing but a it«at little peck.” ' J i a H e n n f - A fte r n o o n S t i f L ( C o m p le te ^ lA J e in fn th j- o r J J o t i BM N I Afternoon Style A beautifully fitting afternoon style to flatter the slightly larger figure.

Can a damper be purchased that will not require taking out half the chimney to install ANSWER: That cannot be done in a chimney that is already built. If you wish to close off the fireplace opening much of the time, have a sheet metal panel made to fit the opening that can be taken out when the fireplace is to be used. This panel will prevent the escape of warm air up the chimney. QUESTION: I have a large win dow, the pane of which when broken is expensive to replace. I am won dering if it would be practical to put in a vertical strip to divide the sash, thus using two panes half the present size. Could I do it myself? ANSWER: It would be best to take the sash to a millwork shop to have the. mutin bar inserted there. The sash will have to be grooved to hold the bar in place. If there is no mill handy, a competent carpen ter should be able to do this for you. QUESTION: Could I use a lac quer paint on my concrete floor? The cement work is a home job, and it seems to be coming off in spots. It washes off like pieces of sand or small stones. ANSWER: Give up the idea of painting the floor with lacquer. You might be able to pour a new topping coat on the present floor, since it probably is rough enough already. It might be better to break it up and use it as a base for a new sur facing.

Truman was nominated for Presi' dent early today by a Democratic party facing its worst split since before the Civil w r. The President won the nomina tion on the first ballot after o..e southern delegation and half of another one stormed out of the convention in rebellion against the 1948 platform indorsement of Mr. Truman’s civil rights program. Senator Alben Barkley, of Ken tucky, was nominated by acclama tion as the Democratice vice-pres idential candidate. WHAT BUILDINGS WILL BACH COIOiIUNrrY GET FROM BOND ISSUE? It is intimated that some of the Democratic brethren who worked for the defeat of Kerr Scott in the recent Democratic primary, will be out looking for jobs come next January. A good Democratic preacher tells us that the Democrats will march up to the polls next No, vember and vote for Truman. We don’t believe all Democrats are liars. Many have told us that they would not vote for Truman. The Record did what it could to help carry the school bond election, and donated free space. We didn’t commercialize this mat ter and ask business houses to do nate hundreds of dollars worth of advertising space. It looks now as if Dewey and Warren would sweep the country next November. Even a few of the Southern states may switch to the Republican column. It is a hard matter to defeat the machine but such a thing did happen North Carolina in 1928 and again store in the recently constructed FARMINGTON: Provision is made for a new auditorium at Farmington. This will include the auditorium prop er ; a lunch room, home economics department, toilet facilities, light ing, plumbing, and equipment. It will give Farmington sufficient classroom space to take care of pupils enrolled and teachers al lotted to the school by the State Board of Education, with an ad ditional classroom for special classes and additional teacher. The people of Farmington have been denied the benefits of an auditorium over a long period of years and the provision, for this school in the bond issue are neces sary to the school program. SHADY GROVE: This high school will be pro vided with a physical education building sufficient in size to make the teaching of health practical on a day to day basis. In connec tion with this building there is a lunch room, home economics de partment, science room, toilets for bovs and girls, equipment for the new structure, heating, lighting, plumbing. This new structure will give Shady Grove school class room space that will enable the school to add vocational courses so badly needed by the boys and girls of that community. They are now denied the benefit of voca tional courses. Toilet facilities in the school now are totally inad equate and the new structure to gether with added toilet facilities will give this school only mini mum necessities to carry on a full program of education. SMITH GROVE: Smith Grove has adequate class room facilities but has no space for carrying on a full program of health and physical education. Building plans under the bond issue provide an elementary phy sical education building of prop- i / i /-> _ I er dimensions with toilet facilities,The new Sanford-Mando Com . Iights aU(1 piumbing that mee{ pany have opened their new minimum standards. To Subscribers The Record is being mailed early this week on account of carrying some important articles in regard to the bond election for schools which occurs on Tues day, July 20th. Read the articles in todays’ paper, which goes all over this section on Monday of this week instead of Tuesday. Be sure and go to the polls Tuesday, July 20th, and cast your vote for what you believe is to the best in terests of the people of Davie County. No Polio Epidemic There is no polio epidemic in Davie County. Onlv five cases of polio have been reported this year, and all of them in the Redland section. No new cases have been reported since June 15th. New Store on June 26, 1948. If Kerr Scott is the kind of a man Charlie Johnson says he is, and if Charlie Johnson is the fel low Kerr Scott accused him of be ing before the recent Democratic primary, then the Democrats had better join with the Republicans and help elect George Pritchard Governor next November. Sam Jones once said: Any man who will make liquor is an infer nal rascal. Any man who will sell liquor is an infernal thief. Anv man who will buy or drink liquor is an infernal fool. We have lots of rascals, thieves and fools, if Sam Jones, the great Methodist evangelist told the truth. Sanford building ' opposite San ford Motor Go.

AU Davie County schools are scheduled to open the fall term on Thursdav, Aug. 26th, accord- ; ing to Supt. Curtis Price. We I understand that there are but two [ or three vacancies in the teacher reworked and installation _made to provide proper heating of all class rooms, additional toilet faci lities will be provided in this building to bring them up to the required standard. Cooleemee children have been denied proper health facilities over a long period of years and this building pro gram seeks to provide only ne cessary facilities for the children enrolled. COOLEEMEE: (Colored) Three additional classrooms are to be added to this two-room building. This will take care of children from outlying schools, who are now attending school in a condemned building. In addi tion to the classrooms the plan calls for a small auditorium, kit chen, heating, lighting and plumb ing, plus equipment. MOCKSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL: Plans call for the erection of a new auditorium on the ground floor to replace the present third floor auditorium. The present third floor of the building which now houses the auditorium will be made into classrooms. Alterations will be made on two classrooms to make them standard in size. Toilet facilities will be added on the third floor to bring the needs up to standard. In connection with the new auditorium there will be a lunch room and a science de partment to adequately provide for these two phases of school ac tivity. Provision is made for a physical aducation building and in connection with it an agrcul- ture classroom, heating, lighting and plumbing are in the plans for all now structures. Two additional classrooms and toilet facilities are planned at the Mocksville primary school. DAVIE COUNTY TRAINING SCHOOL (Colored): The Davie County Training school is the only colored high school in the County. Plans in the bond issue provide additional classrooms, toilet facilities, audi torium. and kitchen, heating, lighting, plumbing. The Grand? Jury considered this one of the' worst situations in the county and all provisions in the plans for this school are urgently necessary as of now. ^ In the whole plan there is not a single gymnasium as such. Ev ery building structure in the plans include classrooms. There will be a gain of twenty-five .(25) rooms throughout the county and they are necessary. Toilet facilities will be brought up to standard in all schools. Auditoriums are provided where needed and where they are not now provided. Every building is essential to the school program in Davie County. Heat ing, lighting and plumbing are necessary to the health of the school children. Without this bond issue the cost can be greater by far than the yearly cost of the bonds. When you vote —VOTE “ YES”. Your child cannot vote.

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS GOP Convention Hands Nomination To Dewey in Display of Unanimity; Warren Second Choicejon Ticket . By Bill Schoentgen, WNU Staff W riter. (EDITOR’S NOTE: Wlicn opinions ore eiprcnfd in llicse columns, they are those ot Western Newspaper Union’s news anal>&fs and not necessarily of this newspaper*) Is GOVERNOR DEWEY AND FAMILY ... They want a new, white house. . . DEWEY EYED GOP Convention Out of the smoke-blurred rooms during the recess before the third roll call came the word: It was Dewey—first again with the medi cine men. From the very beginning of the GOP ■ convention in the sweltering confines of Philadelphia's conven tion hall it was a simple case of Dewey against the field. The field was composed of Taft, Stassen, Vandenberg, Warren and Mac- Axthur1 plus a scattering of fa vorite sons. Despite some frenetic jockeying for delegates by Dewey, Taft and Stassen over the week-end pre ceding the convention, the big three of the GOP started out on Mon day with their pre - convention alignments unchanged. But by the time Gov. Dwight Green of Illinois had finished with his keynote address Monday night it was apparent that a stop-Dewey movement was struggling to get under way. As it turned out that movement never did get beyond the struggling stage and Dewey re mained virtually the only one un affected by it. In retrospect, the convention by that time already had assumed an inexorable course toward th e Dewey camp. Second - guessers maintained that the whole affair oozed along as if motivated by some fundamental and changeless law, although that was not fully evident until the convention could be viewed as a finished product. If there was a fundamental law it was compounded from a series of heterogeneous factors, political and personal: First of all there was the superbly functioning Dewey machine, oper ating with almost 100 per cent ef ficiency to corral votes. Secondly, the Dewey opposition was divided. Taft and Stassen, poles apart in their political phil osophy within the Republican party, could not get together. Stas sen flatly refused a deal and Taft kept waiting for a break that never came. California’s Gov. Earl War ren refused to have a hand in a stop-Dewey drive, insisted he was running for the nomination and not just against Dewey. Vandenberg added to the confusion by remaining silent, noncommittal and even dis interested. Nomination Actual climax of the convention came when Sen. Edward Martin of Pennsylvania renounced his favo rite son candidacy and threw his support, backed by about half the members of Pennsylvania’s 73 dele- dates, to Dewey. That started the blitzkrieg. From then on it was Dewey and downhill all the way. As the crucial balloting began in humid, steaming convention hall it became more evident that a stop- Dewey coalition had not jelled. On the first roll call it was Dewey 434, Taft 224, Stassen 166. On the second ballot Dewey had gone up to 515 and Taft to 274, while Stassen dropped to 149. At that point the convention re cessed for three hours, a move engineered by Taft, Stassen and other anti-Dewey leaders to give them time to decide whether or not to continue the fight. When the convention reconvened for the third roll call the stop- Dewey drive had changed to a nominate-Dewey stampede. Sen. John Bricker of Ohio was the first on the rostrum to withdraw the - * / GOVERNOR WARREN . .. He accepted .. . name of his state’s candidate, Sen ator Taft. This was swiftly fol lowed by similar withdrawals by Warren, Stassen, Vandenberg and MacArthur. On the third ballot the 1,094 dele gates to the convention nominated Gov. Thomas E. Dewey as their unanimous choice to run as the Re publican candidate for President in 1948. IVarren Selection of Gov. Earl Warren of California as the Republican nominee for vice-president came as a complete shock to almost every one, despite the fact that the choice was a logical and reasonable one. Warren was a surprise pick be cause prior to the convention he had maintained stoutly that he could not afford to take the vice-presidency and would not accept the second spot. It was even more a departure from the norm in that the Dewey- Warren ticket failed to offer a grain of consolation to the old guard and isolationist wing of the party. Warren has strongly inter nationalist political views — even more so than Dewey—and has been a consistent critic of the GOP iso lationists. Initial speculation as to the vice- president spot ran to Rep. Charles Halleck of Indiana or Sen. Kenneth Wherry of Nebraska, both of the “conservative Republican” tradi tion. But in the night-long pow-wow that followed the Dewey nomina tion it was Warren who was chosen. Dewey himself averred that he had not influenced the choice, that the party leaders had become convinc ed that the California governor was the best bet. Nevertheless, Dewey had had to make certain promises in order to get Warren for the job: The vice presidency, he said, no longer would be the stale, flat and un profitable post it has been. He planned to make Warren a “full partner.” Significance Whether the GOP convention constructed its policy platform to fit the candidates or . nominated the candidates to fit the platform is, of course, an impossible ques tion. Nevertheless, the Republicans I managed to do both. Categorically, the platform is a sound, forward-looking one in the light" of the issues, both foreign ] and domestic, to be faced. Strongly internationalist and bi partisan in tone, it rejects the old line of isolationism for isolation ism’s sake and upholds the Euro pean recovery program. That foreign policy stand, har monizing as it does with the pre viously stated convictions of Dewey and Warren, may stand as a his toric milestone in development of the Republican party. NOMINEE Dewey Runs on Calculated Ambition Ihomas Edmund Dewey is a suc- >s story in himself, featuring the id of success that is achieved not ppenstance but through precisely lculated ambition spearheaded by ieiseiy directed energy. (Vt 46 he has been elected gov- ior of New York twice and de- ited once for the same office, ireover, he has received the Re publican presidential nomination twice in succession. It' is the only instance in the his tory of the Republican party where a defeated presidential candidate was nominated to run again. Born in Owosso, Mich., Dewey achieved prominence in New York City as a racket-busting district attorney. CRACKDOWN: Marshal Tito Russia’s iron curtain had twitched apart along its Yugoslavian seam to provide a glimpse of the Communist stage set with the rickety scenery of dissension, fear and insecurity. Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia was the central figure, but remained so for only a brief instant before his Soviet bosses whisked him off the boards. Plain fact was that Tito, hitherto the fair-haired boy of eastern Euro pean communism, had been all but purged from the Communist party because he was trying to make a play for western capitalism. Actually he, together with his henchmen in the Yugoslav govern ment, was ousted from the all-im portant Cominform (Communist in formation bureau) which was estab lished last year to provide greater unity for the Soviet satellite states of eastern Europe. Tito and his regime were charged with virtually everything the Soviet politburo considers a crime—rang ing from Trotskyism and anti- Sovietism to “ineptness” and “false demagogic tactics.” Behind this official facade which the Communists had thrown up, however, were the real reasons for Tito’s expulsion from grace: As the only wartime hero of the Communists the Yugoslav marshal had begun to take himself too seri ously, hence, was beginning to feel the need to express his own opinions and policies on matters political and economic. Stalin wanted no other boss in his sphere. Tito was building up a “personal police” army which was molesting other Communists, including Rus sians, in Belgrade. Also, he had fol lowed an independent foreign pol icy without Moscow’s approval. Finally he committed the cardinal sin of currying favor with western capitalist diplomats with an eye to obtaining reconstruction credits for Yugoslavia. SERVICE: Drafting That draft which men in the 19- through-25 age group are begin ning to feel is the result of the U. S. armed forces drawing in their breath and preparing to expand all over the place. Between next fall and next sum mer the services plan on calling about 30,000 draft-age young men every month. Drafting is scheduled to start about September 22. With a strength of 837,000 au thorized by congress in the selective service bill, the army has estimated that it will need between 225,000 and 250,000 selectees to approach its authorized strength. That number is in addition to the 250,000 or 300,- 000 volunteers it so fervently hopes it will get. In discussing plans for this second peacetime draft in U. S. history, Army Secretary Kenneth Royall ex plained that the army now has 542,- 000 men but it won’t jump to the 837.000 figure immediately because funds for the fiscal year which be gan July I are not-sufficient. Thus, by July I, 1949, the size of the army will be an estimated 790,- 000. The peacetime draft is a rela tively slow - functioning process. Certainly it can’t compare with the wartime levying of manpower. Peak of the induction rate during the war was reached in February, 1943, when 406,374 men received their greetings. When the army attains its full 837.000 strength it will consist of 12 regular army divisions. Backstop ping these will be six national guard divisions, together with other sup porting elements such as anti-air craft artillery and service troops. BLOCKADE: Berlin Russia’s freight blockade of Ber lin, while a stark enough action in its own right, nevertheless was a secondary manifestation of the same old cold war crisis arising out of the Soviet bid for power in Europe. While American ’and British planes by the hundreds were flying in food to besieged Berliners the western powers were pondering a question they had had to answer in 1938 when Hitler was in power— whether or not to appease. Long range plans of the Kremlin, of-which the Berlin blockade is just one phase, call for the forcing of the western Allies out of Berlin. This, according to Soviet thinking, could be done by either of two means: Either by threats and ter rorization involving the risk of war, or by a four-power negotiation which could be hoped to result in a western appeasement policy such as grew out of the ill-starred Munich conference of 1938. > Britain and the U.S. are on a dangerous spot. If they pulled >out of Berlin under pressure of. forre applied by Russia the power and Ili- fluence of western democracy would be perilously weakened in Europe. Washington Asthma, with its painful choking and wheezing, often may be the result of .an emotional disturbance rather than being brought on by purely physical factors. Dr. F. B. Schutzbank of Tuscon, Ariz., told the American Medical association meeting in Chicago that many of the asthmatic victims who flee to Arizona for relief could save the trip simply by curbing their family quarrels and other distresses. No Right-Minded Candidate Will Antagonize Newsmen By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator CONVENTION HALL, PHILADELPHIA.—The notes for this column are inspired by a-view—from the extreme left wing of the Democratic platform. I do not mean that figuratively, but literally. I am sitting in the left-hand corner of the wooden platform filled with the brass hats of the party and their friends who are gathered together to nominate a Democratic candidate for President of the United States. IJ 8*1 The scene isn’t so very different from other political conventions I have attended back to—well, never mind how far back, I have in my mind’s eye a dif ferent picture. It is a platform, viewed from just about this angle, but instead of this high ros trum protruding into the hall from the middle of the wide plat form there is just a wooden box with boards atop it — rough- hewn rails to fence off the speakers from the shouting delegates. The name of Abraham Lincoln is being put iu iiuiuJim iiuii. Tma vision, let me hasten to add, is purely vision ary. I did NOT cover that conven tion. I saw a picture of it in a book. The scene I have been watching is no more placid. That Demo crats love a Donnybrook is an old saying. No smoke-filled rooms, no private fights for them—rather a free-for-all in a wide field, even if they know what the final outcome is to be in advance. But frankly I have been thinking about something else as I sit here in this tropical heat—that is, in the moments when I have been able to think between the flashing of the light which is the silent bell on the telephone beside the mike I am sharing with Earl Godwin. The flash of the light on the phone means someone in the ABC booth, high above us, wants one or the other of us to jump in and give a brief word-picture of what is transpiring in our immediate neighborhood, for we are in the thick of things here and, believe me, sometimes things are pretty thick. What I have been thinking about is the lot of the newsman and the small thanks he gets for his pain and suffering in a political year. Be sides being hauled and mauled by the public—his public, as the listen ers of a commentator are referred to—besides that, he is under slant wise attack by the candidates when they forget themselves. Nobody, either the partisan lis teners or the politicos, ever thinks the columnist, commentator- or reporter is being fair unless he is boosting his side. Candidates, when they are in pos session of their full senses, don’t go around arousing the wrath of the newsmen. Even Franklin Roose velt, who was forever needling the newspapers, always carefully ex plained that it was the publishers and editors and headline writers who twisted the news, not the men who wrote or broadcast it. But sometimes candidates slip. And as we sit, perspiring under the klieg lights and trying our best to tell the truth without malice and with as much charity as possible about what is going on before us, we recall without too much rancor, the statement of the candidate who is not being unanimously nominated. On his recent trip he made one off- the-cuff remark, which prompted him to send that offending piece of haberdashery to the laundry imme diately after he had thought it over. President Truman opined to one rear-platform audience that it was almost impossible to get the facts definitely before the public “be cause there are certain people in the newspaper business and cer tain people in the radio business who have a distorted view of what the people ought to know and what the people ought to think.” It might have been better if he had worded his plaint in the lan guage of an earlier candidate—much earlier—John Quincy Adams, who at least narrowed his charges against the press to a few papers, even though he didn’t name them specif ically. This offered a sop to the rest. However, President Truman, in a previous outburst on that same western trip was specific too. He attacked the Chicago Tribune and the Spokane Spokesman-Review. In lambasting the Tribune, he was fol lowing in Franklin Roosevelt’s foot steps. You may recall that on one occasion when FDR was asked a particularly sharp question by a I Tribune reporter, he replied: “Oh, 'tell Bertie (Robert McCormick, pub- : lisher). he’s seeing things under the bed." »Mr. Truman’s attack on the Trib- tjB came about this way: While tT/elling through Washington state, !■reporter put to him a question . which, although it seemed guileless, I miglft have concealed a barb. Any- : how * e President interpreted it that I W3S (When Senator Magnuson re vealed that the reporter asking the question represented the Spokes man-Review. The President knows that part of the country and the sentiments ex pressed by its publications. It was then that he said the Spokesman- Review and the Chicago- Tribune were “the worst newspapers in the country, the Tribune having the edge.” That was about as sharp a thrust as a President ever has launched at the press in modem times. It was in that connection that he also called the present congress the worst in our history, later amending it to “second worst” It would have been kinder to the rest of us if Mr. Truman had stuck to the specific instead of adopting the sweeping generaliza tion quoted earlier—“some people in the newspaper and radio busi ness, etc.—” Presidents since the time of John Quincy Adams have not been shy about airing their views concerning the Fourth Estate. But Adams, while not specific, at least narrowed the field of his complaint to “eight or 10 newspapers of extensive circula tion published in various parts of the Union acting in close concert with each other and pouring forth PRESIDENT TRUMAN • , , rear platform opinion . . . continual streams of slander upon my character and reputation, public and private. No falsehood is too broad, and no insinuation too base, for them . . . ” President Cleveland also had his press troubles, and history admits he got a rough deal. One summer when he was governor of New York and was sweating it out at Albany, New York newspapers reported him as taking his ease at Newport. Sometimes the newsmen do let their spleen get into their report ing, but for the most part, they follow Kipling’s advice and go on the basis that you can’t do a good job unless "... you keep your head when all about you, are los ing theirs and blaming it on yon.” Television may achieve what the less vivid reports conveyed by print or the spoken word cannot. Repub lican leaders, realizing this, sent out some pretty strict orders on that subject before their recent conven tion in this city. The orders were revealed by that all-seeing, all-hear ing monitor of stage, screen and radio, “Variety.” Republican delegates were told not to be seen (by the eye of the television camera and thereby mil lions of other eyes) talking to mem bers of delegations from other states lest the suspicious public smell a deal in the making. If they must huddle they were told to huddle unseen. Delegates also were warned not to assume awkward positions on the floor lest televiewers deduce that handsome isn’t as handsome doesn’t. And most of all, they were warned not to be seen leav ing early and coming late. Not overly hopeful that orders would be followed, monitors were ap pointed. Since I couldn’t see much of the video product, because, as a re porter I had to keep my eyes on the televiewers themselves, I can’t say how well the Republicans comported themselves when televised, nor can I assay how well the Democrats, cur rently in the spotlight, profited by what they saw of Republican video performances last month. And if either didn’t perform with all the grace and decorum nobody can be blamed but themselves. The cameraman gets off easy. The writ er and the broadcaster still will have to duck the slings and arrows of the outraged unfortunate. A recent survey showed that radio listeners like hymns most Probably a television survey would show that televisioners perfer hers. IOUSEHOLD IlNTSf Here’s a good treatment for scorched linen.

Dandelions for Dinner STUBBY, vocal Congressman Ches ter Gross of Pennsylvania joined the symphony of Truman accusers the other day, denouncing as “dou- 'i.ble-talk” the President’s attacks on. ^fcnn^ress for inaction on farm legis lation and the high cost "of liviug.— To prove his point, Gross quoted a letter from a Lakeland, Fla., house wife who had received a depart ment of agriculture cookbook with 150 recipes for plentiful, inexpensive foods. “I have been a housekeeper for 52 years,” she wrote Gross, “but we just cannot cat grass along with soybeans and all the stuff the cook book says is so grand and nourish ing. Sure, the department of agri culture is a crazy bunch.” “I agree that she is exactly right,” said Gross. “If that is all that the New Deal has to offer af ter 16 years of planning, is it any wonder that there is such a wave of righteous indignation rising all over the land?” What the Pennsylvania Republican forgot, however, was that recently he commented as follows on the agriculture department's campaign for greater consumption of plentiful foods: “This time of year the body craves greens. This is the time to buy asparagus, no matter what the food experts tell us. But up in York we don’t have to buy asparagus until the price is right. We go out into the fields and get dandelions, mus tard greens and poke. These are weeds, the experts might say, but we know they are good eating. There’s nothing better for a person in the spring than a nice mess of dandelions.”* * * G, I. Loan Frauds FAILURE OF SOME U. S. dis trict attorneys to prosecute cases of fraud against veterans finally has brought some abrupt action from the justice department. Two cases are involved, both in Temple, Tex., and both affecting so-called “prominent citizens” — Gordon Duncan of Duncan Homes, ana R. M. Newton, secretary of the First Federal Savings and Loan as sociation. Veterans’ administration offi cials have reported to the justice department that veterans in Tem ple testified they were contacted by a man named Wilson M. Press ley who suggested that he knew how to make some easy money. They then were invited to get in touch with Gordon Dnncan of the Dimcan Home real estate office who in tom offered them $200 to S250 to sign the proper papers for a G. I. loan on a home that Dun can was building. Veterans’ administration reported to the justice department that through some legalistic sleight-of- hand the title of the house was juggled around so that the veteran get a fee and Duncan got the home. In most cases veterans didn’t even see the homes for which they re quested G. I. loans. These loans were financed through R. M. Newton who, according to the Veterans’ administration’s report, linagled government guarantees on the basis of false appraisals. E. C. Berry, Veterans’ administra tion appraiser, stated that he had “completely reviewed the property described in this report inside and out.” But in each case, Veterans’ administration officials claim, Berry had signed the reports without even seeing the property. Believe it or not, but Berry had been in Florida when 17 of the 36 appraisals were reported to have been made. The justice department now has agreed with Veterans’ administration about cleaning these fraud cases up. • • • Gsg Rules in Congress THE 80TH SESSION of congress won’t go down in history for de votion to the common man, but it did set a new high for gagging free and fair debate. Most people have the idea that congress is a deliberative body which carefully debates the laws of the nation before passing them. This is largely true in the senate. But in the house, the Republican leadership has been imposing a ser ies of gag rules. A gag rule Is an order by the rules committee that a bill cannot be changed or amended on the floor of congress. It means that a handful of men in committee draft the bill, after which 400 other representatives take the bill as is. They can only vote yes- or no. Some of the most important pieces of legislation passed by congress at the 80th session were put through under a gag rule, including every, major bill reported out by the all- important ways and means commit tee. Czar Knutson, chairman of this committee, insisted on imposing a gag rule on his Wall street-inspired tax “reduction bill,” also on his reciprocal trade extension bilL Oth er congressmen, not members of his committee, had no chance to amend these bills. They had to vote for or against them as drafted by Knutson and a small group on the ways and means committee. Excessive Use of T imo Exhausts Soil Fertility Specialist Warns Other Plant Foods Required _Limiag__can exhaust rather than rebuild soil fertility, unless lime I* accompanied by the return of other needed plant food elements to the soil, declares Dr. William A. A t brecht, University of Missouri. “Up to the present time in our land use,” says Dr. Albrecht, “we have been putting limestone on our soils under the mistaken belief that its benefits rasted only in reducing soil acidity. We have gone ahead with our campaign with the idea that lime is all that is needed, and that if a little is good, more will be better. “This generous use of lime has helped produce more proteins in legume forage and other crops. But the added crop production has used up other plant food elements. Among these potash has been the most prominent. “We have credited the lime and the neutralization of the soil with working wonders, but we have not realized that liming by itself was helping exhaust our soil fertility more rapidly,” he points out. “It is essential,” concludes Dr. Al brecht, “to remember that we need potash to make the carbohydrate* in the growing plant before we can convert them into protein.” Sturdy Roots Required For Top Crop Output No crop can do a better crop producing job than the roots that nourish it. To get strong, healthy, bushel-boosting growth above the ground, you have to have a sturdy root development below the surface. Roots need plenty of “living room” to stretch out for moisture. TO GE-T GROWTH HERE — Ku YOU MUST HAVE’ GROWTH HEElfe T m air and plant nutrients. They need that room not only in the plow layer, but also in the subsoil below. It takes plenty of organic m atter to keep a clay or loam soil roomy, well drained and ventilated. P art of that organic m atter is burned up every year in producing crops. If it is not replaced, then your soil packs down. It becomes “stuffy’* alid hard to cultivate. It loses its sponginess, or porosity. Roots can not grow readily, top growth suffers and lower crop yields result. Several steps are necessary to get good catches of legumes. Liming, based on soil tests, is important. So is the application of fertilizer carry ing phosphate and potash. To round out a balanced soil management program and add to the organic m atter supply, animal manure and crop residues should b* returned to the soil.

DEVOTIONAL BEADING: I CortaihUn* 13:1-1». Jonathan, Loyal Friend Lesson for July 25,1918 Dr. Newton WELL-might we term this a les son on the facets of friendship. Rarely will one come upon such a splendid example of friendship in all literature. Cole ridge put it well when he wrote, “Friend ship is a sheltering tree.” D iogenes Laertius, writing on Aristotle, says, “He was once asked what a friend is, and his answ er w as, ‘One soul abiding in two bodies.’ ” Such was the friendship of Jona than and David—a sheltering tree—one soul abiding in two bodies. Although Jonathan’s father attempted at least ten times to kill David, Jonathan was drawn the closer to David, with whose soul his was knit. The record of this friendship is found in our scripture and devo tional readings for the lesson, with the golden text from Proverbs 17:17, “A friend loveth at all times.” * * * A PRINCE SHARES WITH A SHEPHERD JONATHAN was the crown prince apparent. David was a shepherd boy. Saul expected to place Jona than on the throne. God had se lected David. Jonathan would, no doubt, have made a better king than Saul, his father; but he had no desire to be king when he discovered the kingly qualities in his friend, David. Not once did Jonathan ever indicate any disappointment in not becoming king. * * * JONATHAN STANDS DP FOR HIS FRIEND W HEN Saul openly plotted the death of David, Jonathan begged his father to reconsider his course and spare the life of the man who had killed Goliath and had proved himself the valiant friend of Saul. This was the final test of Jonathan’s sacrificial love for Da vid. He might have remained si lent, thus aiding in the death of the one man who stood between him and the throne. But Jonathan was made of the stout texture which counts no sacrifice too dear for a friend. He was willing to stand up and be counted when it meant that he would not become king. Thus we see that true friendship is not always easy. It usually is very costly, but it pays big dividends in the coin of eternal wealth. * * * FRIENDSHIP THAT COSTS AND like as Jonathan stood up and witnessed his lasting friend ship for David, at a very great cost, so are we today summoned to this ennobling type of friendship for Christ. “Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you,” he once said. Young people find it rather costly to be loyal friends of Christ today. There are many siren voices that invite young people to take the low road—social drinking, gambling de vices of one sort and another, satis faction of sensual desires. But the true friend of Christ will withstand these voices, choosing rather the high road of Christian gentlemen. * • * SACRIFICIAL FRIENDSHIP U 17RIENDSHIP is the loveliest f flower in the garden of hu manity,” according to my cherished friend, Dr. Hight C. Moore. I would add this thought—true friendship flowers in the garden of humanity, but it finds its life in the Garden of God’s Perfect Eden. I have not known one single friendship that has impressed m s that did not stem from above. “How can two walk together except they be agreed?” And the only cement that will hold human hearts together —one soul in two bodies—is the grace of God. “Friendship is as God, who gives and asks no payment,” said Richard Hovey, and not until the human will is yielded to the will of God, even as was the will of Jonathan, can sacrificial friendship come to flower and to harvest.

BENSON* President—Mardina CclUeit Searcy. Arkansas Only the Beginning Some of the people supporting pro posed “federal aid” to education bills admit frankly that these represent only a beginning. Once the principle had been adopted, they say, increasing amounts could be expected. Those ac quainted with the way federal projects grow and grow and grow, would nat urally expect this to happen. Within a decade the federal government would be carrying the chief burden of pub lic education. Is this bad I Just to suggest the idea i6 to show the danger. Decisions of policy for public education would be made on the national level. After such nationalization of the public schools, it would be easy to obtain legislation requiring all students to attend public schools for “national indoctrination” purposes. This is exactly the type of thing we decry in Russia. These were the methods that made millions of school children just like Hitler and Mussolini wanted them. How to Control To favor federal aid is to argue for the exchange of our present public school system, with locally controlled public schools operating alongside many private and church related schools, for a nationally financed and nationally controlled educational sys tem. No two ways about it, federal aid would mean undesirable federal controls. Controls do go along with financial assistance, and our federal govern ment has no record to the contrary. In fact, the Supreme Court of the United States has already declared, in the case of farm subsidies that the federal government may control that which it subsidizes. Political Spoils When we recall powerful influences within our own generation to get polit ical influence into nearly every Ameri can institution, it doesn’t take much imagination to see federal control of the American school system following any general federal aid program. We can all remember when, at election time, WPA workers were told: “Re member who your friends are” when you vote. Dependence upon Washington sets up a political system, super-deluxe model. I would look upon the nationali zation of American education, which could be expected to follow federal aid bills, as a decisive step in the develop ment of a totalitarian state. Should America nationalize her education, it is my conviction that full nationaliza tion of industry, distribution, and ag riculture would follow within a gen eration. Let’s Keep Freedom We must remember that the one nation in the recent war which was able to arm itself against the axis powers was not a socialized state. The one nation that was able to lend arms to its allies was not a socialized state. The one country now being called upon to help all the rest of the world is not a socialized nation. The one nation now providing the greatest educational sys tem the world has ever seen is America. I am not one of those who believe that in order to remain great we must discard suddenly the methods and prin ciples by which we became great. Two years after England started national izing her industries she was forced to vote power to the government to tell her citizens where to work and what to do! We want none of this. But, if we nationalize education through so-called federal aid, we will get all of these ills and more! Jnst Testing mem The nice old lady smiled at the little girl who had been left in charge of the cake shop. "Don’t you sometimes feel tempt ed to eat one of the cream puffs, my dear?” she said. The little girl was quite shocked. "Of course not,” she replied. “That would be stealing. I only lick them.” DAVIE BRICK COMPANY DEALERS !IN GOOD COAL Dav Phone 194 - Nieht Phone 119 Vlo'ksville, N.

C HUNTING for More BUSINESS T ry O er Ads Proposals Ior Naw Canal Across Nicaragua Revived Evacuation of United States mili tary bases in Panama again has brought to the fore proposals for a canal across Nicaragua.Under a 1916 treaty, the United States has exclusive proprietary rights for construction and mainte nance of an interoceanic canal across Nicaragua. The treaty also grants a lease on the Com islands in the ' Caribbean and the right to establish a naval base on the Gulf of Fonseca in the Pacific. A half dozen surveys of possible canal routes across Nicaragua have been made in bygone years. One proposed course is 173 miles long, 122 miles longer than the Panama canal. It wguld shorten the distance between New York and San Fran cisco by 400 miles.This cotmse would take the canal across Lake Nicaragua for 70 miles. Actual construction of the canal on either side of the lake thus would be only twice the length of the 51- mile Panama canal. The plan calls for creation of a harbor at Brito on the Pacific coast. Ascending Grande river valley for nearly three miles from the Pacific, three twin or two-lane locks would lift ships HO feet. A cut through the western divide, with its maximum height of 153 feet, would carry the canal to the basin of Las Lajas river. The river would be followed nearly 12 miles to Lake Nicaragua. Quality Pillow Required To Assure Proper Rest A good pillow is essential for proper support of the head so that the neck muscles may rest comfort ably. If a pillow is not used and the head is not supported comfortably, the spine can be thrown out of align ment. The quality of a pillow can be determined by its filling and by four characteristics: It must be light in weight, resilient, buoyant and free from odor, dust and stiff feathers. There are three types of fillings used in good quality pillows: Alldown, a combination of down and waterfowl feathers, and aU-water- fowl feathers. An all-down pillow is the most expensive, but is really too soft for comfort as it lacks the buoy ancy supplied by waterfowl feathers. The mixture of down and water fowl feathers is an ideal combination, and the least expensive of the three. Crushed, chopped or artificially curved waterfowl feathers are gen erally less desirable because these processes destroy the natural resilience of the feathers. Goose and duck feathers are springy and resilient. They are full and fluffy, and their shafts are naturally curved and buoyant. Although goose feathers are considered better, because they are stronger and fluffier, a good quality duck feather often is better than a low grade goose feather. Dogs Big Aid to HuntersDuring the 1947 pheasant season one out of 11 hunters took along his dog and one out of every five hunting parties had a hunting dog to find dead and crippled birds. These facts were revealed by analysis of inter views in the field with 4,341 hunters. That Hover paid for his dog biscuits and place behind the stove is shown by the fact that hunters using dogs lost only one bird for every nine shot down. Hunters not using dogs lost one out of every four birds shot down, or twice as many for each bird brought to bag as dog-using hunters. Himters using dogs on pheasants required two hours hunting for each bird in their hunting coat. For hunters without dogs it took three hours to bring a bird to bag. The field check revealed the labrador as the most popular dog in use, with springer spaniel run ning second in numbers used, cocker spaniel third, pointer and Chesapeake tied for fourth, and setters fifth. Freferences in Milk Consumers in 11 states expressed their preferences in milk to Ameri can Home Economics association. They indicated that safe milk is one of the foremost wants of consumers. The voters came out strong for milk from herds that have been exam ined, tested and declared free from disease; milk handled by persons examined and found healthy; milk produced only in inspected dairies, and milk that has been pasteurized. Labels on milk containers were sec ond in interest. In order of impor tance, consumers want the label to state grade, type of milk, date pro duced, butteifat content, name of distributor and vitamin content. Glass containers got more votes than paper containers, square shape was the preference of those who considered shape. Dogs With Encephalitis Dog owners are being warned by American Veterinary Medical asso ciation that encephalitis, a virus disease affecting the brain and nervous system, may be responsible for a great many of the dog losses heretofore attributed. to distemper. The disease has stricken more than 500 dogs in the St. Cloud, Minn., area in the past year. An attack of encephalitis usually begins with vio lent convulsions, followed by a leth argy in which the dog appears to be walking in its sleep. Anti-encepha litis serum is an effective treatment in early stages of the disease. Pre vention by vaccination still is in the experimental stage. Checking Equipment Will Pay Dividends Traders Need Regular Servicing, Adjustment Periodic checking of tractors and o th e r f a r m I " -H l HI ■■ I precaution that will prevent serious delays in the field, assure safer oper ation of machinery and make farm work easier. Increasing the life of vital machine parts results in more units of useful production per machine and per part. This in turn means less cost per unit produced by the machine. A machine naturally wears out with Careiul inspection of Ii-Ctyrs and other farm equipment at reg ular intervals will increase effi ciency of the machinery. use. However, the rate of wear may be reduced greatly by a skillful operator who is exacting in his attention to adjustments for wear and for proper and systematic lubrications. A tractor in good repair, agricultural engineers estimate, can oper ate on two to three less gallons of fuel than the tractor with faulty operation. Adjustments in the carburetor, governor, timing, mani fold and valves also will increase the efficiency. A careful check will disclose loose bolts and nuts as well as parts that need adjusting or replacing, thus eliminating the chance for costly breakdowns later. Every repair and adjustment should be made just, as soon as the need is noted. Farmers also are advised to equip their tractors with fire extinguish ers and to provide secure holders for grease guns or other servicing tools carried on the machine. Loose accessories may cause falls or re sult in a tragedy. Hitchhiking Pests "Hitchhiking” insects, taking ad vantage of the frequency and speed of modern airplane flights, offer a continual threat to areas of the na tion now free from certain insect pests. A continual watch must be kept at airports in infested areas to assure that “hitchhiking” insects do not move from one part of the United States to another or leap easily across international boundaries via the airplane. Last summer, inspectors of the bureau of entomology and plant SM HEtlO TO OlAEA IH CEHtemiiu ILL WRITE 9 quarantine intercepted the project ed flight of thousands of Japanese beetles trying to hitchhike b.v air plane from beetle infested airports in Washington, Baltimore, Phila delphia, New York and Newark. These beetles threatened to move into beetle free sections of the United States. Inspectors closely checked more than 7,000 airplane flights and su pervised the application of a thin film of DDT from aerosols over hundreds of commercial and mili tary planes. The beetles’ favorite food plants in the immediate vicin ity of the airports were sprayed, using mist blowers for the job. The summer’s program was the most comprehensive ever attempted to prevent beetle spread, and yielded the largest number of interceptions for any season since this type of control work became necessary.

It looks like good reason and common sense would turn men from the devil and the broad way hell ward, and then di> rect to Christ and tbe glorious wav heavenward. However, it isn’t so. We see oeople everywhere suffer, ing at tbe bands of tbe devil, and yet they go right on following him. or letting him lead them. Ofcoutse tbe enemv Of our lives and sqjpls is always deceiving the human fami ly, or seeking to deceive. There are some whom he canhot deceive, as thev know his tricks, plans, schemes and wiles, therefore follow the Lord Jesus Christ, and trnst H is grace and power to keep and deliver them. The devil is very, very treacher ous. H e is sly and exceedingly cunning. H e comes at people in so many wavs. H e will even ap pear In a false garb as an angel of light, and would deceive God’s very elect, if possible. However, as long as we pray much and live close to God we cannot be deceived nor de feated by the devil Thank God and praise H is holy name forever. If all men could but realize the treachery and deception of the de* ception of the devil it seems to me that manv wonld turn from him that don’t. Thev listen to bis lies, and even think he is telling them the truth. They yield to his sug gestions and temptations! It looks like when he deceives them for years they would realize that he is noth ing but a rascal, deceiver; usurper and destroyer. H e seeks to wreck every life and damn every soul on earth. Yes, the devil is ^ indeed ' ‘roach erous. You never know one hour what he is going to do the next. /l have said many times that people who live for the devil never know what he will ckuse them to do, nor where he will lead them-, nor what be will lead them into. They' may be assured, however,' that he will lead them to hell if they keep fol, lowing him. No doubt but that m ultitudes of people have done things— even committed m urder— who bad no idea of doing snch a thing. If vou had told them they m ight, if they continued to follow hi -, they would have told you that it would never, never happen. Nevertheless it did. This treacher. enemy causes people do that which they least thought of sometimes. The only safe thing is to turn from him forever.

'T 'H E old farmer was dozing in the I shade of his front porch, when a high-pressure salesman bustled up the front walk and awakened him with a cheery "Good afternoon.” He had a sample book of a 10- volume set on scientific agriculture he was selling. The old farm er was at length per suaded to page through the speci m en volume. “Nope,” he objected; “ain’t got no use for it.” “But you ought to have it,” the salesman insisted. “It will teach you to farm twice as good as you do now.” “Hell, son,” barked the ancient ,agriculturist, “I don’t farm half as good now as I know how.” SHORT TRIP A missionary, newly arrived at the Cannibal islands, asked where his predecessor was. “ Your predecessor," replied the cannibal chief, “has taken a trip to the interior.” Well Taught A little girl about six years old went into a bank and asked to see the president. A smiling clerk showed her into his private office. She explained solemnly that her girl’s club was raising money, and would he please contribute? The banker laid a dollar bill and a dime on the desk and said, “You take whichever one you want.” She picked up the dime and said, "My mother always taught me to take the smallest piece,” but pick ing up the dollar bill also, she add ed, “but so I won’t lose this dime, I’ll take this piece of paper to wrap it up in.” Zachaiv Teylor wanted to ap point Abraham Lincoln governor of the Oregon Territory but Mrs, Lincoln disapproved.

Exeess Baggage Weary of working as a ..cook in northwestern lumber camps, Ole Svenson retired to a small farm, but after batching a while he went to the city and-got himself a wife. Life on the farm was too lonely, how ever, and the woman soon ran away. “Well, Ole,” said a friend, “are you sorry she went?” “No,” replied Ole. “No? Why not?” “Veil,” retorted Ole, “she vas al- vays getting _ in d e .v g ^ l cooking,” ..—■ TOE-PRINTS During the night, two burglars en tered the bank. One approached the safe, sat down on the floor, took off his shoes and socks and started to turn the dial of the safe with his toes. “What’s the m atter?” said his pal. “Let’s open this thing and get out of here.” “Naw, it’ll only take a minute longer and we’ll drive them finger print experts nuts.” Simple Arithmetic A Sunday school teacher had been telling a class of little boys about crowns of glory and heavenly re wards for good people. ‘Now tell me,” she said at the close of the lesson, “who will get the biggest crown?” There was a silence, for a while, then Johnnie replied, “Him wot’s got the biggest head.” WANTED TO GET EVEN y ip f f il INFLATION HERE.

One day he rushed into the house excitedly and told his mother he had just seen a bear in the backyard. “Now, Bobby,” said his mother, “you know it wasn’t a bear, it was just a big dog. I want you to go up to your room and kneel down and pray to God to forgive you for telling a lie.” After a few minutes the boy came downstairs- again. “Did yo.-/ ask God to forgive you?” “Yes, and He said it was all right.

Tlie teacher was very dis couraged and urged her pupils in some excitement to put more ex pression into their recitation. ' “Too flat!” she exclaimed. "Too colorless! You can do better than that. Try again. Now! Open your mouth and throw yourselves into it.” \ A Step Toward Socialism Dr. Robert A Millikan, one of the world’s most distinguished scientists and Nobel prize winner, has referred ' to current proposals for federal aid to educate as “another of those efforts to clear out the cockroaches by burning the house down.” That is right. More federal aid might bring .increased teachers’ salaries, which all of us want. But I stand in constant amazement that so many folks in the education profession are blind to the tremendous dangers of federal aid. Not to be outdone by those clamor ing for money to be routed via Wash ington for the public schools, college and university administrators recently climbed on the bandwagon and put in for their share. At a major conference of higher education in Chicago, Dr. Alonzo Myers of New York University proposed a catch-all program that would call for expenditures dwarfing those in public school bills now in Congress. * Take Your Share Among other things, this program would set up an “Educational Recon struction Finance Corporation.” As a government project, this bureau would no doubt take bookkeeping lessons from RFC and TVA. Both of these have tucked away millions of wasted tax dollars. Experts have said that it will be impossible for RFC ever to account for all of its funds. After this ERFC, we can expect other RFCs for any group that has enough power and votes to get the ear of Congress. Not to be outdone in the scramble, educators from several private colleges (not state-supported) fought strenu ously at the above-mentioned confer ence for federal aid. Their impelling motives went like this: in any disposal of federal funds, we must not be neg lected! In other words, as long as Washington is throwing the money around, you have nothing to lose to ask for your share. Great Handout To me, all these things look like very poor Americanism. Is this a gen eration that runs to Washington and Congress to receive cure for every ill that besets the community? If our local people (states and communities) (iavelrS§SWl quate care of their educational prob lems, then for sure more money from the federal government will not rem edy the situation. And that goes for Arkansas, too. But the nub of it is: local communi ties hare done plenty, still are doing things about local and state needs in education. I have no patience • with those who hallow the internal propa ganda machine in Russia and call it education. We have done more to edu cate our youth than any Communist country ever will be able to do—under Communism. There’s nothing radically wrong with American education. But there will be—if we hand control over to Washington. Education is one of the biggest en terprises in America. When we give, over to the federal government the purse-strings for local education then we have taken the long step toward Socialism. What we must do is get the federal government off the necks of taxpayers. Then the states can collect more taxes and there is no rhyme nor reason left to get education expenses from Washington. We must draw the line on this dangerous trend. Let’s have no so-called “federal aid." Tree 'Butchery* Blamed On Untrained Pruners It often takes 50 to 75 years to raise a good shade tree. But, exten sion foresters insist, it takes only a few minutes for an untrained pruner to ruin its beauty. Poor trim ming technique is destroying the beauty of many streets. Examples of good pruning are seen on most public building grounds. Gn the other hand, on al most any street examples of tree “butchery” can be seen.

Three years ago she was in an automobile accident in which the car was demolished. And now Mrs. Pafford is recovering from another accident—she fell out of a taxicab. Uiiivsrsities Offer Free Schobrships Ji1Eaiiy Require the Fulfillment Cf Unusual Conditions NEW YORK.—According to Clar ence E. Lovejoy, in his "Complete Guide to American Colleges and Universities,” more than 75,000 college students are eligible annu ally for scholarships in addition to the thousands more.who win state scholarships and those who take advantage of army and navy educa tional opportunities. Many of the awards, however, have novel conditions and stipula tions. Since 1916, there have been several scholarships available at Harvard if your name is Murphy. If your father worked on the Pennsylvania railroad you are eligible for a scholarship at Prince ton and one of several others at the University of Pennsylvania. At Pennsylvania, too, there is a Coxe grant which provides a scholarship for a young man who fulfills the requirement that he come from the coal regions of Pennsylvania. Ancestry plays a large part, too. If one of your ancestors fought in the Confederate army you may ap ply at Tulane for a scholarship. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has scholarships for sons of officers of the regular army, navy, marine corps and coast guard, while daughters as well as sons of army and navy officers are line for Indiana university Jarships. irou have to do is ctAU Vermor^TOe'eligible for the EUis scholarship at Columbia university. Morality comes into consideration at Dartmouth and several other in stitutions which stipulate that the student may not drink intoxicating liquors, while still others will not consider smokers. Princeton has several funds for the education of “pious youths for the ministry.” There is hardly an important in dustry that doesn’t offer scholar ships. Eager ceramic students may study at the University of Illinois thanks to the Illinois Clay Manufac turers association. Juniors or seniors who are interested in taking agricultural and dairying may ap ply for a §200 scholarship at the Rhode Island State college thanks to Dr. Charles H. Hood. The W. Atlee Burpee company's $100 award is, appropriately enough, for an in terest in flower and vegetable growing. Northwestern university has an nounced eight scholarships for sons and daughters of the A. F. of I*. Chicago Flat Janitors union and pointed out that this was the first time an American labor union had offered general, unrestricted schol* arships.

It really doesn’t.” Dusk dimmed the coral gold of H arriet Marne’s hair, dimmed the blue of her dress, and blurred the outlines of the light dotted buildings rising above the flat roofs upon which she and Ralph Pell stood. It filled with deep shadow the narrow slot of the alley between them, and the noise of the city was a screen about them, isolating them from the rest of the world. “That’s what you think now, but you’d get straight in your thinking in a few weeks, or months, or years. Then it would make a lot of differ ence.” Across the alley, Ralph Pell leaned bronzed arm s on the low brick parapet of the other building and shook his head in slow delibera tion. Pink neon glow spilling into the alley from the street eight floors down glinted on his brown eyes and made odd shadows in his curly brown hair. It changed to an im possible color the tan of his knitted sport shirt. “After that, it would always be there between us. Or rather, it wouldn’t be there.” He laughed harshly and reached down to feel, through brown trouser fabric, the device which substituted for the flesh and bone he had left on a field in Normandy when gunfire from the ground m et parachutes drifting silently in the darkness. He would never forget that. “No, Ralph.” Harriet’s small fist struck the stained brick of the low parapet bordering' her own flat roof, as if to drive understanding across the dark drop of the alley between them. “It would never make any difference to me. To me, you would always be—” She groped momen tarily for a word that would not sting. “Normal?” His voice was flat and bitter. “Please, Ralph.” Her voice rose a little. “Sorry, but I’d never be that, even with two real legs.” He laughed shortly. “Service medico says I’m part of a mind, as well as part of a man. Let’s don’t kid ourselves. Too much is riding on it. It would al ways be there between us like—well, like this alley is between us now. I’d have as much chance getting over it as I would getting over this alley.” He glanced down at the eight-story drop, the sliver of pave ment below. “Imagine me doing that. Be your age. Get wise to some facts. The best thing for both of us to do is to forget we ever— Ah!” He made a savage gesture. “Let’s talk about something else.” Harriet said that quickly, almost desperately. ‘Let’s talk about you peeping at me on my roof here this summer.

Let’s talk about our meeting up here with the alley be tween us in the evening. Let’s talk about—” Her voice stopped for a moment on an odd, sharp gasp. ‘Let’s talk about the big ape escap ing from the city zoo this afternoon. Let’s—” V“Ape escaping from the zoo?” Ralph Pell stood, tall and slender in the night. “I haven’t heard any thing about it. You’re sure?” “You probably missed it.” Har riet laughed a little shrilly. “The ape is big and black and ferocious. I—I certainly wouldn’t like to m eet him up here on my roof alone, with no one here to help me. Goodness! Oooooooooh!” She shivered aud ibly. “No chance of that.” There was amused tolerance in his grin. “The ape’s probably back in his zoo cage and glad to get away from humans. And I didn’t peep at you on your roof. I looked. It can’t be a crime to look at softness and beauty and sweetness, with so much hardness and ugliness and bitterness in the world. It can’t be a crime for a— Ah! Let’s talk about the ape!” he finished quickly, harshly. "Well, I Uke that.” Harriet laughed. She moved away from the para pet, small and shapely in the night against the neoned sky. “I’m cold. I’ll have to get a wrap. Don’t go away. I’ll be back in a minute.” She ran. Ralph Pell watched her cross the flat roof of the other building to the small shedlike structure that housed the stairway. It was about forty For a moment, he wai down through the black Normandy night, a huge silk dome above him, bracing himself for the blast from the ground, the numbing shock of bullets striking. His artificial foot struck the other parapet and slipped off. He fell. There was a quick, breath-taking drop toward the pavement eight floors down, then his outflung arm struck brick. Brown fingers curled over a sharp edge, gripping. Strain came on the arm as he stopped the fall, and his weight all but tore his fingers loose. Small, sharp sounds came from his lips and he got his good leg up, hooked the heel over the edge of the parapet, then lev ered the rest of him up. He rolled over the parapet top and dropped to the flat gravel roof of the other to “It would never make any difference to me. To me, you would always be—” She groped momentarily for a word that would not sting. feet away. Then he jammed his hands down into his trouser pock ets, swore softly and kicked at grav el on his own flat roof with his good foot, balancing himself on the arti ficial limb. His eyes were stormy, his lips tight. H arriet was swell people. That made it tough, but positive. She de served a whole man. Years, or maybe only months or weeks from now, she’d look back and be glad that things turned out as they had. She’d realize that he was right, and maybe she’d understand why—and —well, everything.

The impact of the two words Srove him forward until his knees struck the edge of the low brick parapet bordering the eight-story drop into the alley between the two buildings. He heard H arriet scream again. Shouting for help would be use less. By the time someone heard and understood and reached the oth er roof. . . . It would take many minutes to run downstairs, cross to the other building and get to the roof. In the meantime. . . .

Grunt ing with effort, he flung himself out over the alley and toward the brick parapet of the other building roof. building, and his heart beat was shaking him. Even as he struck he was up and running toward Harriet and the black shape. He came within reach, laced fin gers into stiff, coarse fur and jerked savagely to drag the black shape away from Harriet. The fur yielded with an ease that all but made him fall, and he found himself holding the black-furred pelt of a small ani mal. There was felt sewn to the underside of the pelt, and he recog nized the thing. “Hey ! This is the little black bearskin from your apartm ent!” He yelled at Harriet Mame standing before him in the darkness, small and quiet. “Hey!

C.’ed by eager young beavers known as “disc jockies,” had become so much a part of teen-age life until one of our hi-style scouts from Nashville, Tenn., told us it was customery to end up an evening date at the local radio station to watch the platters go ’round and listen to the jockey joke. That piece of news set us out on the trail for more disc jockey info. Tune in to the next transcribed paragraphs, if you’re interested. MOTHER’S DAY-Up in Mon- treal, Canada, Disc Jockey Bob Home, who conducts a regular aft er-school clam bake for teen-agers, has established every Thursday as Mother’s day. Teen-agers request records to be played for their moth ers and the Mother-of-the-Week is picked from their letters and is sent a dozen roses.

Coming from behind parked cars and crossing the street at places other than designated crosswalks are the most danger, ous things the man on foot can da in traffic, according to the acci* dent prevention department.

The Record would be glad to learn the names of the two per sons in South Calahaln who voted in favor of the school bonds last Tuesday. It might be to their in' terest to get in touch with us. The Record would respectfully ask the city fathers to ask the business houses, services stations, ice cream and cold drink parlors who stay open Sundays, to close their places of business during morning a n d evening church hours. “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” The polio epidemic doesn’t seem to be improving much in North Carolina. Davie has been fortunate up this time in hav ing but five cases so for this year, and only one death from this ma lady. AU precautions should be taken to prevent the spread of this dreaded disease. Many towns and counties are quarantining child ren under 16 years of age from at tending all public gatherings. In Asheboro children under 16 are prohibited from visiting stores and other public places. Picnic Cancelled Mail spective voting precincts last Tuesday and voted in the $800,000.00 school bond election. A total of 2,250 votes were cast, 1,462 being in favor of bonds, and 788 being opposed to bonds, giving a major ity of 674 for the bonds. The Record is glad that the good people of Davie gave such a good majority in favor of larger and better school facilities for the present generation and the babies of today who will be the boys and girls of tomorrow. The Record helped to get the first graded school for Mocksville some 40 years ago, and is glad to have had some small part in helping to carry this election for* the en largement of our school buildings throughout the county.

Our district is in the epidemic area which extends from Ashe ville to Raleigh. We have had a total of 19 cases this year in the district For our population, we have a higher incidence than the state average, but a lower inci dence than many counties such as Guilford, Surry, Moore :nd Meck- j lenburg. Direct contact with in fected people is still thought to be the important method of spread. Probably many persons are in fected who are never actually sick. Both adults and children can be infected, but adults are less sue ceptible. It would be impossible to avoid all contact with infected people unless all business were curtailed completely. The disease may possibly also be spread through human sewage, flies, contaminated water. Many out the State. This Revue will probably be held as a part of th e; 4-H Achievement Program early in the fall. j Eleven members of the Baptist Training Union of the Mocksville Baptist Church, accompanied by Miss Inez Naylor, leader of the Intermediate Union, returned last Thursday from Ridgecrest, where they spent a week attending the Training Union Conference. equipment.

W a s h i n g t o n D 19c S t j Some Things Are Worse Than Being in the Army By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. WASHINGTON.—Less than a month from now the draft will hit young Americans, but it will be a nudge, not a wallop. One of its chief immediate purposes is to deflect the flood of enlistments of young men from the national guard and the reserves to the regular services. It is expected that so many eligibles will enlist rather than wait until they are invited that only between 200,000 and 250,000 will actually be requested to report or- — . Baukhage It isn’t at all strange that there is< ■ a certain amount of reluctance on the part of so m a n y y o u n g A m ericans to leap to arm s the moment they as certain that their country has de cided they are needed. T here are no bugles blowing. Nb for eign tyrant has soiled th e n a t io n ’s h o n o r, there is no vis ible sign of a “military neces sity’’ to disturb the even tenor of their activities— Gandlot, movie, poolroom, work, study or play. On the contrary, there has been an almost steady anti-military prop aganda from all sorts of sources, aU the way from the paid agents of the Kremlin to the innocent ideal ists or the doting mothers who think that if fighting must be indulged in, it certainly should be done by some other mother’s boy. The polls show these propagandists are in the mi nority, but they are a loud minority. Personally, if I were advising a teen-ager I never would rec ommend close order drill or tossing together a hatch of fir ing data which would produce almost as many shorts as overs, as the one most terrifically scrumptious method of whiling away a couple of years. On the other hand, I have had more adulterated pleasure in doing quite a number of things in which were not included learning the mul tiplication table, cutting the lawn, making a trial balance, working a paper route, translating the chap ter which begins “Caesar trans Rhenum pons fecit,” or even carv ing the Thanksgiving turkey the first time “her” relatives came for dinner. As I say, I can imagine several things many people would rather do than these mentioned, including military service, but having done them, most people are better for it. J admit that for one of a delicate ous disposition, unable to ad- 'JJV-his personality to groups, carv ing aNyJjjfey ^isis -Sliie be fore in-iaws might be the worst thing imaginable. It might be the one particular thing that the par ticular traum a affecting that par ticular individual couldn’t stand. Extreme psychosis might result— even a psychotic condition that would lead to homicide or some oth er emotional outburst that a strong er psyche could have repressed or sublimated into kicking the dog or dropping molasses on his wife’s gir dle. I grant all this freely. There are men so unable to meet the simple challenge of the crowd, for instance, even those only mildly afflicted with agorapho bia, that they never could stand a simple formation like pay- call. I have known the type in civilian life so sensitive to the presence of others that although he had been drinking peacefully for hours and accepting the hos pitality of say two or three ac quaintances, when an addition al member appeared (just when it was our subject’s turn to buy a round) he would jump through a plate glass window, four sto ries to the street below. Someway, he lacked the group in stinct. I admit that type probably wouldn’t get on in the army—long. However, I claim these are excep tions. The majority of the problems which the youth of our land is go ing to have to face soon are not too tough. And they are good exercise —like parading in full kit. Meanwhile 694,000 men, without giving more than a thought to the hardships ahead of them (197,000 of these, according to the experts, are re-enlistments and therefore should know what they are getting into) will already have joined up, thus reducing the number of those who bashfully await their Uncle’s nod this year. Thus out of the 924,000 new men needed, less than 250,000 will be drafted. And many of those who are called will not be chosen be cause of the number of exemptions granted. Veterans with combat rec ords, with 90 days service be tween Pearl Harbor and VJ- day, or with 18 months’ service sipce September, 1940, will be evempt, as will anyone who has earned a combat infantryman’s badge, a Purple Heart, Air Med al, or any combat medal. Exemptions will be granted to any veteran joining an organized reserve unit, or if the nearest one which he otherwise might join is an unreasonable distance from where he lives. There are three kinds of defer ments for those planning on going to college (I) for all full-time stu dents, until academic year ends; (2) advanced students in certain specialties; (3) four years’ defer ment for college students enrolling in a full four-year ROTC course or other military courses under spe cial conditions. There are exemptions under cer tain conditions for m arried men, high school students, scientists, en gineers and reservists. So not many young men who don’t want to are going to have to serve in the armed forces of their country. At least at pres ent there seem to be enough ready to step forward before they are actually called. As I remarked, it is easy to un derstand why the average youth would rather not accept the restric tions and discipline of army life. A part of the lack of enthusiasm for soldiering is due to the long tradi tion in the United States that sol diering is a wartime business for all those who don’t make it their fulltime business. And I use the word business because it describes a career honored in this country far above that of the professional man —the artist or the writer—and the homage rendered is even greater in comparison if a member of die military profession is involved, ex cepting, of course, war heroes. This is something hard to change. But the thing we can and should combat is the propaganda referred to earlier—propaganda which is put forward in many cases for far dif ferent reasons than even the pro ponents realize. Far too often objection to mili tary service is made on the basis that it in itself is a bad thing or a wasteful thing, when the real reason behind the argu ment is a selfish unwillingness to take the risk or sacrifice the time and effort which the serv ice involves. Frequently this false reasoning stems entirely from the influence of a parent whose purely selfish pos sessiveness has perverted the mind .9&S:W^e would'' accept his responsibility and take his training in h is, stride with no more than the ordinary, harmless grousing which is as much a part of military service as the alibis at the 19th hole. It Wasn’t Like This In the Old Army The army psychologists have been working double time ever since they discovered that it took more than guts and gunpowder to win wars, and that the winning was easier on something besides hardtack and whiskey. In World War II, besides the best food an army ever ate, better med ical attendance than the average civilian can get, and a lot more su perlatives, th(e armed forces went in for yards' and yards of colored ribbon. It did no harm , even if the British did say the Yanks got a new service stripe every time they saw a battle in a newsreel. And it helped morale. And now something new has been added. A whole new sys tem of chevrons in two colors have been devised for combat and non-combat non-commis sioned officers. Combat lead ers—squad sergeants and pla toon sergeants, for example— get an inch-wide tab of green in Hie middle of each shoulder loop. Despite all this, I can’t help think ing of the verse that came out of a war where the prevailing color was olive drab—with the drab predomi nating. It goes like this: Oh the general with his shiny stars, leadin’ the parade, the colonel and the ad jutant a-sportin’ all the braid, the m ajor and the skipper—none of ’em look so fine as a newly minted cor poral a-comin’ down the line!” Ike Couldn’t Say Anything Before the Democratic political convention, Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower couldn’t sit down to write a letter without reading in his news paper the next day that that letter had been translated into an accept ance on his part to run against Tru man for the presidential nomina tion. Had Eisenhower written a letter saying that he often leaned back to dream about the North African campaign or to think about the de cisions at Casablanca, someone would have been sure to come forth to say: “See that? He talks about a campaign—obviously hinting at the presidential race—and ‘deci sions at Casablanca’—get that? Cas ablanca is Spanish for White House! Block Housing Bill Q N E OF THE MOST IMPOR- TANT VOTES in the closing days of congress was held in strict est secrecy, though it effected sev eral million people. It was the vote of the house rules committee to pre vent the housing bill from reaching the floor of the congress where other congressmen could vote on it. How ever, this column has now obtained that secret vote. The Taft housing bill, with provi sions for slum-clearance and low- cost housing, had long before passed the senate. It also passed the house banking and currency committee after Congressman Jesse Wolcott of Michigan pidgeonholed it for weeks. Finally it went to the rules com mittee, which has the power to de cide whether any bill can come be fore the full house for a vote. And that was as far as it got. While thousands of veterans waited for long-promised housing to mate rialize, six Republicans on the rules committee voted thumbs down. Naturally they tried to keep their names secret. However, here is the roll call of the six men who flouted the will of the majority of congress and wouldn’t even let 400 odd other congressmen vote: Leo Allen of Illinois, chair man of the rules committee; Jam es Wadsworth of New York, who while voting with the real- estate interests on this, simul taneously demanded that young men be drafted; Edgar Cheno- weth of Colorado; Ross Rizley of Oklahoma whose law firm represented some of the big nat ural gas companies while he authored a rate-increase bill for the gas companies; Forest Har ness of Indiana; and Robert Rich of Pennsylvania. Two Democrats present voted for the housing bill: Howard Smith of Virginia and Adolph Sabath of Illinois. That was how the Taft housing bill containing the hopes of milt lions was buried. One interesting gentleman who walked out at the last minute of the housing bill was Congressman Gene Cox of Georgia. Cox is a key man- of the rules committee, claims to have great influence. Before the vote came off, Cox sent a telegram to his home district promising to support the housing bill. But just before the vote came, Cox got up and ducked out of the rules committee. News of his run out, of course, did not get back home to his home voters. Woman Gets FCC Post ONE OF THE FEW Truman ap pointees to be confirmed by the senate during the last-minute rush of congress was Miss Freida Hen- nock, the first lady ever appointed to the federal communications com mission. Miss Hennock was con firmed not only because of her abil ity but because of her amazing frankness. Called before the Republican- dominated interstate commerce committee, Miss Hennoek, appoint ed as a Democrat, told the sen ators: ‘I’m against you and I always have been. I have done my best to collect money for Roosevelt and have probably taken a lot of good Republican money away from what you wanted to collect.” “Do you know anything about radio?” asked one Republican sen ator. “Only that I’ve raised a lot of money for radio programs for Roosevelt,” replied Miss Hennoek. Senator Brewster of Maine want ed to know what Miss Hennoek thought of Mary Martin of Maine, who last year was considered as a possible appointee to the FCC. “I didn’t know her,” replied the lady Democrat from New York. “But I think that women haven’t had nearly the recogni tion they deserved since they got suffrage. If they have brains and ability they should not be penalized merely because they wear a skirt." The amazed senators, taken back by Miss Hennock’s frankness, asked many questions, all of them courteous and friendly When the hearing was over, the prospective FCC commissioner told the com mittee: “You’re much too nice. I hope you don’t confirm me and that you’ll call me back here every week.” But they didn’t, they confirmed her right away.* * « Politics in Education E. B.

Truce Fails in Palestine; Truman OKs Farm Price Support -By Bill Schoentgeo, WNU Staff Writer- {EDITOR'S NOTE: Wheu opinion# are expressed In these columns* the? are those off w estern Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) FAILURE: U.N. Truce There was not peace, but once more a sword in Palestine. The United Nations truce had failed. As the four-week interruption of hostilities between Arabs and Jews dragged somberly through its final hours, combatants on both sides were making preparations to re sume warfare. They had failed to come to terms, and that failure arose out of the fact that there had existed no po litical or social basis upon which a peace agreement could be rested, nor were either the Jews or Arabs particularly eager to create one. Their attitude throughout the truce negotiations had been that the contest over whether the state of Israel should be allowed to exist m ust necessarily be a flat, win-or- Iose battle with no middle ground solution possible. Count Folke Bemadotte, U.N. mediator in Palestine, had tried hard, but he had had to carry out his negotiations in what might be term ed a spiritual vacuum between the Jews and Arabs. There simply was no meeting of minds upon which he might have capitalized. Before the truce expired Ber- nadotte had endeavored to get it extended and continue the negotia tions. Israel had agreed to such an extension but the Arab league opposed it. Previously, during the last days of the truce, the Arabs had re jected a plan submitted by Bema dotte which included an extensive revision of the now defunct U.N. partition scheme. Bernadofte’s proposal would have restored the area of Palestine to what it was before Trans-Jordan was separated from it, and that total area then would have been partitioned into independent Arab and Jewish states. The plan, as presented, had a ring of desperation in it. It must have been obvious, even to Ber- nadotte, that the Arabs would not accept such a scheme, particularly since they had violently opposed the original U.N. partition idea. Trans-Jordan was especially an tagonistic to the plan, insisting that it would put the nation under at least partial jurisdiction of the United Nations, thus making it no better than a dependent state. As Bernadotte and his staff left Palestine guns already were firing and the Holy Land had relapsed into TcoBffiiiSfrflfjror- FARM BILL: ^ Price Support To the accompaniment of his now customary blast at the 80th con gress President Truman signed in to law a farm bill that extends pres ent price support policies for 15 months and establishes a long-range, flexible support program to begin January I, 1950. Signing the bill, the President said: “I wish to make it plain once again that legislation for price sup ports is only part of the action this congress should have taken to meet the problems of American agricul ture.” Thus, he was not criticizing the farm price support bill in itself but rather giving another re-run to the familiar theme whereby he has been castigating congress for do ing a little when a lot more was needed. Congress, he said, failed to en act legislation to strengthen the soil conservation program; it did not provide the necessary funds for marketing research; it did not act on the international wheat agree ment. It failed, he specified, to meet “the serious problems of rural housing, health and educa tion.” “In the field of agriculture, as in so many others, most of the busi ness of the 80th congress was left unfinished,” Mr. Truman observed. Under the extension bill farm prices generally will be supported at their present levels. However, the support price for cotton will drop from 92% to 90 per cent of parity. The idea behind parity farm prices is to insure the farm er the same buying power, compared with the rest of the community, that he had during a favorable crop period. Usually the standard interval upon which parity prices are based are the five years from 1909 to 1914. Five other basic crops will con tinue to be supported at 90 per cent of parity. They are wheat, corn, rice, peanuts and tobacco. Spending Money As the economic cooperation ad ministration closed its Marshall plan books on the first three months of its operation it reported that re covery shipments worth $762,747,140 were approved for Europe and China during that period. That total is about 58 per cent of the goal originally set for the quarter, but ECA Administrator Paul Hoffman said the unspent bal ance would be used eventually. Stage Manager Rep. Hngb D. Scott Jr. of Pennsylvania has been chosen by Republican leaders as the national chairman to lead the party in the forthcoming presi dential campaign. Scott is 47, a World War n veteran and represents the Germantown- Chestnut Hill district of Phila delphia in the house of repre sentatives. BERLIN: Trouble As U. S. planes continued to fly tons of food into beleaguered Ber lin the East-West stalemate over Germany was solidifying in a stub born mold. The Russian blockade of Berlin had brought the painful German is sue to a head, and both the Soviets and the western powers were an ticipating that events might begin to move very rapidly soon. There were these developments: The Communists announced that they were drawing up a constitution for a German republic and also a two-year plan to link Berlin eco nomically with the Soviet zone. At the same time, on the free side of the iron curtain, German political leaders were expressing their opposition to the western powers’ plans for a West German federal government. In Berlin, power cuts were or dered in the three western sectors of the city to save the dwindling coal stocks. The action was taken despite the fact that coal shipments had begun to arrive by air. Key to the situation, perhaps, was the Communist proposal for a n’w constitution. The Soviet-spon- s:.red German People’s Congress Oi , eastern Germany announced that thd' ddwnient would be official. In a statement the group said that “Germany is an indivisible repub lic made up of states and that execu tive power stems from the people.” That appeared to bring Soviet in tentions more or less out in the open. It means that Russia appar ently is determined either to force the western democracies out of Ber lin or bludgeon them into an agree ment whereby the Soviets would be in virtual control of the city. REPUBLICAN: Changes, If Although the presidency of the Uhited States still is far from a reality for Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, the Republican nom inee nevertheless is giving consid erable thought to some of the prob lems that will face him if he does get elected to the office. If, for instance, he is to make good his promise to sweep out “16 years of Democratic cobwebs” from the federal government, these are some of the tasks he will be expected to perform: Replace hundreds of officials in Washington and all over the nation with men of his choice who will put his policies into effect. Establish with congress a coordi nated program of policies for all federal departments, both foreign and domestic. Streamline government functions and eliminate duplications in the present structure of alphabetical agencies and bureaus. It will be a gigantic task. Pol icies that a Republican president would have to establish would range through the current conduct of for eign affairs; domestic spending of taxpayers’ money; federal relations with private business, labor and industry; housing, veterans, agri culture and social improvements. Then there will be the m atter of choosing a cabinet that will be geographically representative of the entire nation.

DdANSPlLLS 'Starter' Fertilizer Boosts Tomato Yield Best Results Obtained With Cannery Produce Tomato yields have been increased greatly by scientists who used start er solutions at transplanting time. Completely soluble, high analysis fertilizers now are available which will make excellent “starter” or transplanting solutions for cannery tomatoes, according to the New York state experiment station. One of the best of three new formulas is a 15-30-14 combination of chemically p u re ingredients which dissolves completely in water, thus avoiding the time and trouble of straining out the insoluble resi due which results if ordinary fertil izers are used for this purpose. Ex cellent results may be obtained from using the 15-30-14 formula at the rate of four pounds to 50 gallons of water, or 10 pounds to a 5-10-5 to the same amount of water. The solution is applied at trans planting time at the rate of one- fourth pint to the plant. Increased yields of a ton and a half of to matoes are not uncommon from the use of these solutions, which cost less than $1 an acre for materials. The beneficial effects are especially marked at the first picking of can nery tomatoes. Market gardeners are not likely to find the practice so beneficial because of the more in tensive' fertilization of their land and the better nourished plants they usually employ. Precautions Suggested To Cut Haying Mishaps Haying mishaps annually account for a large percentage of the m o o t ing farm accident toll, National Safety council points out in urging farmers to take extra precautions during the haying season. To reduce hazards and-thU3 avoid disastrous losses, here are a few suggestions: Carefully check- all equipment for defective hitches, ropes, pulleys, lifts, hay racks or ladders. Loft floors should be put in good repair and hay chutes guarded. Make starts and stops gradually In all haying operations and watch out for falls from hay racks, hay stacks and hay mows. Machinery should be stopped and thrown out of gear before oiling, ad justing or unclogging, and safety guards should be kept in place at all times. Pitchforks are dangerous; always place them where they are in plain sight of all workers. Never throw a pitchfork. Do not wear loose or ragged cloth ing which may catch easily in mov ing machinery. Damp hay is one of the principal causes of barn fires. Be sure the hay is well cured before storing and check regularly for several weeks for any signs of heating. Two Row Stalk-Cutfer The two row stalk-cutter is turned on its skids for transport between fields. When reversed (with cutting blades on reel re moved) and riding on cutter blades, the tool levels corn stalks so the ground can be prepared more easily for the next crop. Arc welding makes a rigid frame that is required when the .cutter is hauled through a field behind a tractor. 2,4-D SprayProves Fatal To Some Woody Plants Many woody plants, including wil lows, are partially killed by 2, 4-D sprays. Killing of large shrubs or trees cannot be expected. The spray may be used, however, to prevent resprouting of susceptible species by applying as a concentrated spray to resprouts after the trees and shrubs have been cut. Repeated applica tions will be necessary to prevent further growth. r.im rreraag' ^ F r o s s O U T W a l l t h e EVEN M M B S R S z> I E T r e x s . . .

DEVOTIONAL BEADlNQt Paslms 82. Gainchf The Scribe Lesson for Angnst 1,1948 Dr. Newton BARUCH, whose name means “blessed," was the grandson of Maaseiah, “governor of the city” under Josiah (II Chronicles ,34:8), and his father, Ne- riahr, appears to have been an official dur ing the reign of Je- hoiakim. He was a trusted friend of Jer emiah (Je re m ia h 32:6-15 and 43:5-6). Tradition holds that Baruch was carried to Babylon, where he wrote the apocryphal “Book of Baruch,” and died in 574, B. C., twelve years after the fall of Jerusalem. Our golden text for this lesson is found in Psalms 119:105, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and light unto my path.” • * * OUR BIBLE itnP H E N Jeremiah called Baruch, -I- the son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book. And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I can not go into the house of the Lord. Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the Lord in the ears of the people in the Lord’s house upon the fasting day; and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of the cities," Jeremiah 36:4-8. How did we get our Bible? Through this simple process of God speaking through his appointed prophet, and by the faithful work of men like Baruch who served as scribes.* * * THIS SCRIBE OF LONG AGO IN THE introductory paragraph I sketched briefly the story of Ba ruch. He was a'trained man, trusted and beloved. This he had to be, else God' would not have approved Jeremiah’s selection of Baruch to copy what he was saying for God. And not only was he selected to write down what God was saying, through his prophet, but he was used to proclaim the words of God to the people in the Lord’s house. Baruch was amanuensis, reader and distributor of the Bible—a dis tinguished role, indeed. Let us to- -f^lM L -^adly ready to read tha. Bible to others^and to distribute and circulate the Scriptures wher ever we may. >Here I pause to pay tribute to the American Bible So ciety and all others, including the Gideons, who help to make the Bible known to all men everywhere. ... A MAN ON WHOM GOD COUNTED THUS we see that Baruch was a man on whom God counted. His work was done well, and we read that, “When they heard all the words, they were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king all of these words.” Young people will do well to pon der this incident. In the varied con tacts of young Christians in this modern day, we may*be used of the Holy Spirit in making known the words of God in countless ways. Thus, like Baruch, you may be used of God to make known his will unto all mankind. . . . BARUCH, A COURAGEOUS SCRIBE THE full context reveals the fact that Baruch exhibited courage as well as faithfulness in his ser vice as scribe to Jeremiah. It was not an easy task. Nor wilt it be easy to fill our posts as couriers of the Good News. But it was a re warding experience for Baruch. - He served his day and generation ac cording to the will of God. Mr. Henry Ford, Sr., believed in having a copy of the Bible near at hand wherever he might sit down in his home. I heard him say once that he had a Bible on every table in his home. “I do this in order that I may reach over and spend a few minutes with the Lord wherever I may sit down. And I always cherish the hope that others will find it a lamp unto their feet and a light along their daily pathway.” Let us give thanks for Baruch— the trusted friend who served Jere miah, and thus served God. {Copyright by the International Council of Religious Tduoraon on behalf of 40 Protestant denominations, Aeieosed by WNCf Features.} Conduct Fundamentally, the force th a t rules the world is conduct, whether it be moral or immoral.

The development of snow in suffi cient quantity to test military equip ment under simulated Arctic cli matic conditions was described by the army as the first accomplish ment of its kind on record. By being able to produce its own blizzards at home, the signal corps has made possible the testing of military equipment that otherwise would have had to be transported to northern wastes at great cost and inconvenience. Form Visible Cloud. Snow-making is not new, but the signal corps said previous endeav ors have been confined to refriger ating machines, producing snow flakes hardly to be compared to the three or four inch depth developed in a Fort Monmouth building large enough to house many men and many articles of equipment. The test chamber is larger than a four room house and spacious enough to accommodate a large truck and trailer. Large multipane glass observation windows designed to prevent frosting, permit views of the 40-below zero interior where test engineers work clothed in fur-lined parkas, boots and mittens. The test room is pre-conditioned to remove much of the heat stored in the air, walls and floors. Satu rated steam at high temperatures is injected into the test room to create an atmosphere saturated with moisture and containing water vapor in suspension. This forms a visible cloud or fog. Produce Winds, Too. A super-cooled cloud identical to those found in nature then is pro duced by a rapid cooling to a tem perature of 5 or IO degrees, the snow-making is begun by shaking a small bag of dry ice, about the size of a finger-tip, into it. As the clouds dip to a tempera ture near 40 below, the water vapor crystallizes, forming billions of mi croscopic snow crystals and a mass of snow soon blankets the test room floor. While the snow is falling, high velocity winds, produced by a high speed motor driven propeller, whip the fine, dry snow particles. Signal corps engineers said the test chambers are equipped with facilities to produce climatic condi tions in every part of the world.

C HUNTING BUSINESS Textile Specialists Study Elasticity in Knit Fabrics i Familiar as knit fabrics are in ; such things as sweaters, hose, close- fitting underwear and gloves, the textile and clothing industry has had relatively little scientific infor mation to go on in producing best materials for elasticity—the stretch and recovery or come-back — that makes possible a close yet comfort able fit. Pioneering in some lines of this research, textile specialists in the U. S. department of agriculture have had to start by devising their own apparatus and procedure to measure elastic recovery of yarns and fabrics under various stresses and strains. Tests thus far completed have yielded technical data on the stretch and come-back of yarns and plain knit fabrics. Elastic come-back of fabrics can not be predicted by knowing that of yarns. This is one point thus far learned. Nylon yam, for example, is far more elastic than yam of wool or silk. But when the same yarns have been made into plain knit fabrics, the wool or silk fabric is more elastic than the nylon fabric. Yarns of cotton, linen, wool, silk, nylon and the three types of rayon •have been compared, and also 19 plain knit fabrics, some loosely knit with 40 courses to the inch, some tightly knit with 64 courses. The two types of fabrics, loosely and tightly knit, point up another problem in elasticity, the research scientists have found. A yarn that has greater elastic recovery when knit into fabric of a certain number of courses may have much less in other fabrics. Plain knit fabrics of wool have more elastic recovery when loosely knit. Those of nylon, silk and rayon have more recovery when tightly knit. Checking Equipment Will Pay Dividends Tractors Need Regular Servicing, Adjustment Periodic checking of tractors and other farm equipment is a timely precaution that will prevent serious delays in the field, assure safer oper ation of machinery and make farm work easier. Increasing the life of vital machine parts results in more units of useful production per machine and per part. This in turn means less cost per unit produced by the machine. A machine naturally wears out with Modern Factories Retain Principles of Hand Loom Until about 100 years ago, spin ning and weaving still were done al most entirely by hand. The simple spinning wheel and the hand loom were important pieces of equipment in any pioneer home. Today, spinning and weaving are •done on rows of fast, noisy machines in great factories. The principles of these machines are still the same as those of the spinning wheel and the hand loom. In fact, the basic proc esses are the same as they were a thousand years ago. Modern ma chinery and science have just speed ed up and greatly improved the methods of making wool into useful products. 9 Two main kinds of cloth come from the mills, woolen and worsted. ,Woolens are made of loosely spun yarns which are prepared from the shorter wool fibers. Manufacturers call these fibers short-stapie fibers and the yarns short-staple yams. Worsteds are made from tightly twisted long-staple yams. Worsteds have a smoother, harder finish. Sometimes, woolen and worsted yarns may be mixed. " r No More cVd Liver Oil No cod liver oil, or substitutes, are needed for babies getting a single shot a year of vitamins, Dr. Henry J. Gerstenberger of Cleve land hospital reported to American Medical association. When a baby is eight days old,, he is given a single injection of vitamin D-3 in the abdomen. This is the same form of the vitamin that is produced natu rally in children’s bodies by sun shine. The shot is repeated once a year. For five years now it has kept babies in perfect condition so far as their needs for phosphorus and vita min D are concerned, the doctor said. The vitamin shot prevents rickets and has other benefits. He stated that mother’s milk does not contain vitamin D and that breast feeding in winter, where a baby can not get a lot of sunshine, is not pro tection. In many places the vitamin now is added to cow’s milk. I - » '■ ”s'’''I^hitchhiking Rests Hospitals for Veterans The magnitude to which the hos pital projects operated by Veterans’ administration have recently ex panded makes that venture of the federal government the largest of its kind in the world. These com bined institutions now have 101,273 beds available, and during the 1947 fiscal year they had an average daily patient load of 98,600. Veter ans’ administration already had cut in half the average bed-days per patient, thereby doubling the capac ity of existing VA hospitals, as com pared with previous treatment methods. In this respect, it is point ed out that during the 1946 fiscal yeaT a total of 386,614 veterans were hospitalized as against 271,000 dur ing the previous year. New Varieties Proven Two new potatoes, bred at Min nesota experiment station, have proven so satisfactory they will be distributed when seed can be in creased. The first is a white potato which has been named Chisago. •It is a cross between Cobbler and one of the station’s better breeding lines. It is a high yielder, tubers are large and cooking quality is good. The other is a red potato as early as Red Warba, which will bear the name Waseca. It is a high yielder of good cooking quality and is not as deep-eyed as Red Warba. Early trials indicate that both will prove satisfactory in earlier-producing re gions. Carelul inspection of tractors and other farm equipment at reg ular intervals will increase effi ciency of the machinery. use. However, the rate of wear may be reduced greatly by a skillful operator who is exacting in his atten tion to adjustments for wear and for proper and systematic lubrications. A tractor in good repair, agricul tural engineers estimate, can oper ate on two to three less gallons of fuel than the tractor with faulty operation. Adjustments in the car buretor, governor, timing, mani fold and valves also will increase the efficiency. A careful check will disclose loose bolts and nuts as well as parts that need adjusting or replacing, thus eliminating the chance for costly breakdowns later. Every repair and adjustment should be made just as soon as the need is noted. Farm ers also are advised to equip their tractors with fire extinguish ers and to provide secure holders for grease guns or other servicing tools carried on the machine. Loose accessories may cause falls or re sult in a tragedy. -''"7TT “Hitchhiking” insects, taking ad vantage of the frequency and speed of modern airplane flights, offer a continual threat to areas of the na tion now free from certain insect pests. A continual watch must be kept at airports in infested areas to assure that “hitchhiking” insects do not move from one part of the United States to another or leap easily across international bounda ries via the airplane. Last summer, inspectors of the bureau of entomology and plant SAr HELLO TO OLAlfA IH CEHTgRVIUE WETg quarantine intercepted the project ed flight of thousands of Japanese beetles trying to hitchhike bv air plane from beetle infested airports in Washington, Baltimore, Phila delphia, New York and Newark. These beetles threatened to move into beetle free sections of the United States. Inspectors closely checked more than 7,000 airplane flights and su pervised the application of a thin film of DDT from aerosols over hundreds of commercial and mili tary planes. The beetles’ favorite food plants in the immediate vicin ity of the airports were sprayed, using mist blowers for the job. The summer’s program was the most comprehensive ever attempted to prevent beetle spread, and yielded the largest number of interceptions for any season since this type of control work became necessary. Production of Citrus Shows Steady Increase Production of citrus fruits in the United States has about doubled each 10 years of the last 40, a de partm ent of agriculture report indi cates, with prospects that the rec ord will continue to climb. California and Florida produce more than 90 per cent of the oranges. Florida and Texas account for 90 per cent of the grapefruit. Almost the entire commercial crop of lemons is grown/in California.
