Lt. Hai- vey. commanding officer of the W-Salem Army and Air Force Re. cruiting Station. Tbe Lieutenant stated that nj man will be accept ed for a grade higher than that which he held when he was sepa. rated from the service, however. This shortage ot skilled person, net has been caused bv the expan. slon of the Aimy and the increase in number of antiaircraft artillery units. Among the former Navy and Coast Guard men who are especial ly desired are those skilled as radar, men, electriciaus mates, gunuprs mates, and Gre controlmen. Sev eral other allied skills in the Navv, Coast Guard, and Marines will be accepted as qualifying for non.com. missioned officers grades in the Artnv. The Lieutenant futher stated that men enlisting under this dir ective will be enlisted for three, four. Gve or six years in the Re. gular Army unassigned. After completion ot reception processing and the required training, they will be initially assigned to an antiair craft artillery unit with duties con. ststent with or related to the mili. tary occupational skill under which they were enlisted. Full i formation on this new and temporary offer mav be obtained by visiting the local Army and Air Force Recruiting Station at P. O Bldg W-Salem or by contacting any Army and Air Force Recruit, ing Sergeant. Although no time limit has been set for accepting en- Iistmentments under this program, it is expected the anthoritv will be withdrawn as soon as the antiair. craft personnel status is such as to remove it from the critical list. I Tip for Travelers I ' A WKE and greatly experienced traveler was asked how he : managed to pay the proper amount to taxi-drivers when he was abroad. “Oh,” replied he, “I take a hand ful of small coins and begin count ing them into the driver’s hand, ‘keeping my eyes constantly on his jface during the transaction. As soon jas I detect a smile on his face I |Stop doling out the money.” i “I suppose,” ventured the other, !“that determines what you will pay 'him?” “Not exactly,” rejoined the expe rienced traveler. “I take back one coin and return it to my pocket, ,for when he smiles, I know I have paid him too much.” WHY COMPLAIN? I A certain ambitious young movie actress complained to. a declining star: “It irks me to think that I get only $100,000 a picture.” To which the other rejoined: "Nice irk if you can get it.” BZ-Z-Z-ZI Ethel — Mamma! It’s dark in here, and I’m afraid! Mother—Hush, Ethel. The an gels are in there with you. Be quiet and go to sleep. Ethel — Mamma! One of the angels just bit me! Had It In for Them Bob Sloane, narrator of “The Big Story,” told about the dowager who was giving last minute instructions to her faithful maid. “Now, Marie,” explained the dow ager, "when people start arriving, I want you to stand at the parlor door and call my guests' names.” “Fine, madam,” responded the servant. “I’ve wanted to do that for 20 years.” Protecting His Investment After lavishing untold wealth in money, furs, cars and jewelry on a beautiful blonde show girl, a certain old New York playboy finally made her his wife. “That old relic!” an acquaintance hooted. “Do you suppose that could be a love match?” “Heck, no,” rejoined another. “The old coot married her for his money.” DIDN’T LIKE IT B-B-B BUT d u c h e s s / When asked how he liked England after he had returned from service, a G.I. replied: “Well, if the beer had been as cold as the soup, and the soup as hot as the wine, and the wine as old as the chicken and the chicken as young as the maid, and the maid as eager as the Duchess, I’d still be there.” Early Weatherman Dr. John Lining, a physician who went to Charleston, S. C., from Scot land in 1730, appears to have been the first American to use instru ments in weather observation. The1 Scotch always have had a leaning! toward scientific instruments and it : was in keeping with his heredity : that Dr. Lining should come to his: adopted land equipped with barom eter, thermometer, hygrometer and rain gauge. Dr. Lining’s interest in: the weather lay in the effects of weather changes on the hum an1 body. ; Hair on End, Foose-Fimples Termed Fifmeni of Fiction The appearance of goose-pimples on the skin is an example of the relationship of the nerves and the skin, Dr. Herman Goodman points out in an article in the Merck Re port. The story books tell of goose-pim ples as a reminder of the days when it was possible to make the hair stand on end to frighten an enemy. ;Every fiction writer makes some- Ithing of this. Neither man nor wom an can at will either make the hair stand on end or cause the muscle !Contractions of goose-pimples. But fear, or the very thought of fear 'while safe in an armchair at home, can cause goose-pimples. The reac tion is beyond the power of con scious will. It is just another ex ample of the workings of the invol untary nervous system. One definite infection of the nerve roots of the skin causes an eruption of the skin surface. Reference is made to herpes zoster or zona, bet ter known as' shingles. The infec tious agent, virus or viruslike, in volves the posterior nerve ganglion of the spinal cord. The skin along the zone or area served by the nerve affected shows the eruption. Pain may be very severe. Distribution of the blisters of the eruption depends upon the nerve root involved. In folklore, shingles going all the way around the body is a sure sign of disaster. Shingles, almost always, is one-sided. It rarely affects both sides of the body at the same zone level at the same time. Shingles rarely appears twice in the same person during an entire lifetime. But once is enough, particularly if the pain persists long after the blis ters on the skin have been forgotten. Same Poles to Carry Farm Telephone, Electric Wires Engineers have worked out ways to use the same poles for carrying both power lines and telephone wires and even of using the same set of wires for both farm services. To help provide for joint use of poles and wires, Rural Electrifica tion administration and Bell tele phone system have worked out mod el contracts. These contracts are for REA-financed electric co-opera tives and the various local tele phone companies. Where REA co-ops and local tele phone companies get together on using their facilities, they will fol low one of two plans. Both the tele phone company and the co-op may agree to use the same wires. If so the telephone company will in stall. equipment for sending out high-frequency, short-wave current to hitchhike along the regular pow er lines. Or the co-op and telephone company may sign an agreement to string separate sets of telephone and electric wires on the same poles. Either way the arrangement becomes strictly a leasing proposi tion. Rural electric co-operatives would not, under these contracts, provide telephone service. Start of Egg Noodles The first egg noodle in recorded history was made in the year 1548 hear the village of Immenwald in the Bavarian Alps. The egg noodle is a German variation of spaghetti. Spaghetti had been introduced into Italy many years earlier by mem bers of Marco Polo's crew. Travel ers crossing the Alps from Italy brought spaghetti into the various duchies and provinces that cen turies later were formed into the German state. At a little roadside inn near Immenwald, where cour iers frequently stopped to change horses, the plump proprietor’s wife began experimenting with spaghetti dough.- She tried adding eggs to the dough before drying it in long strands. The results surpassed her fondest hopes. Travelers came from far and wide to sample her “Nudel” or “Nudelin” which became the spe cialty of that little Bavarian inn.. Breadbasket of America Agriculturally speaking, Kansas is the breadbasket of America. She is a state of fertile valleys, choked with alfalfa, vegetables, melons and grains. Pastures and feed lots are crowded with livestock. Kansas has more land in farms than any other’ state except Texas, which is three times as large. Her farmers plant more wheat than 28 other states har vest, producing more wheat than any other state. Kansas ranks first in flour milling, alfalfa seed, wheat storage capacity, and is among the first three states in grain sorghums, cattle and sweet clover seed. She has a . higher-jarm property valua tion than 40 other states, the second largest livestock market in the na tion, outranks 41 states in meat packing, has the largest grain eleva tor in the nation and the largest broomcom market in the world. Pack of Seed Nets Million Dollar Crop Plant Immigrant Has Typical Success Story One package of seed sent home by a missionary less than 30 years ago has developed into a crop now valued at more than 200 million dollars a year. That is the success story of a plant immigrant — Korean lespe- deza. Only three decades ago Dr. Ralph Mills, a medical missionary, sent a package of lespedeza seed from Korea to the U. ■ S. department of agriculture. Department specialists planted the seed at the experimental farm across the Potomac river from Washington. In a few years there was enough seed to plant lespedeza at several state experiment stations. The imported crop, fitted well on the poor, slightly acid soils unfit for such crops as alfalfa and soon was being grown widely in the East Cen tral states as a seed and pasture crop. Now its use is becoming more widespread, particularly in areas of low fertility land. The U. S. crop of Korean lespe deza, developed directly from the single package, now is valued at more than 200 million dollars a year. Value of the seed crop amounts to 20 million dollars. The hay crop makes up another 100 million dollars of value. Although value of the pas ture crop is difficult to estimate, spe cialists contend that it amounts to at least 100 million dollars. These figures do not take into account the profitable use of millions of acres of low fertility land made possible by introduction of the new legume crop. H e 's a R a t What is the most destructive ani mal in the world? No—it’s not a puppy or a small boy! The common Norway or brown rat has absolutely no competition when it comes to the ability to destroy. Annually, rats alone destroy about 4 per cent of the total grain and cereal crop in the United States, fig ures compiled by extension service entomologists indicate. As if its de structive abilities were not enough, the rat is host to carriers or is it self a carrier of bubonic plague, typhus and other diseases which are deadly to man. Few farm s are entirely free of rats, although rat populations can be reduced quickly. Cleaning up the premises, rat proofing, cutting off food supply, poisoning and trapping pre major points in an effective rat control program. But, once the con trol measures begin to show results, there can be no relaxing. Rat con trol is a permanent, year-around program. A few days of poisoning will have only a temporary effect on the rat pomdation.rDnaccuscomed as 1 Am Joseph Chamberlain was the guest of honor at a dinner in an im portant city. The mayor presided, and when coffee was being served the mayor leaned over and touched Mt. Chamberlain, saying “Shall we let the people enjoy'themselves a little longer, or had we better have your speech now?” Strategic Position The formality of a one star in spection in Squadron D was broken when Brig. Gen. Emil C. Kiel came to a halt before a WAC corporal. “Do you get enough to eat?” he asked. “Yes, sir!” the corporal replied— then after a moment’s hesitation added, “I’m a cook!” Before the Trouble Started Husband and wife were preparing their lessons for university classes. When she asked him for a Bible reference he answered glibly: “Proverbs, 21:9.” ' The wife looked it up and found this: “It i& better to dwell in a cor ner of the house than with a brawl ing woman in a wide house.” SeeD Aloog Maio Street By The Street Ramhlpr.

O ur County And Social Security By Mrs. Ruth G. Duffv. Manager. At the end of 1927, approximat ely two million persons were re ceiving benefits under the Old Age and Surviaors Insurance program. Of this number, about 900,000 claims were being pnid to persons 65 or over wbo bjid worked long enough in covered employment to be insured. There are still some indivipuals who are not receiving benefits to which they may be entitled. Tbeir loss ir doe to their failure to apply for benefits. Let me emphasize that no payment is made to anyone unless an application for such pav. ment is made. The law specifical ly states that applications tnnst be filed. Tbe other requirements for retired workers to get benefits are attainment of age 65 and required length of employment. Geneiatly a person bas sufficient credits when be or sb? bas worked at least balf the time between 1937 aud their 65th birthday. During tbe past three months, 15 persons in the area servlcee by this office, lost p*yment by delay, ing to file tbeir applications on time. There is no way for them to get the payments that were last. Tbe law gives a limit in which (0 file applications for benefits and if individuals do this, no money will he forever lost. There are two times for action. First, when you are 65 are retire from covered employment, even though temporarily, you should write or see someone from this of fice. Second, when anyone in your famiiv dies, who bas worked in covered employment, the survivors should contact tbi' office.

Political Cycle When a party is in the ascen- daney, it takes more than a special session of Congress to keep It from final victory. According to an Associated Press dispatch, two other presidents have called special meetings of Congress when it was controlled by tbe op position party Republican Presi dent Taft did it in 1911 to consider a reciprocal trade agreement with Canada Tbe following year Taft was defeated for a second term. Democratic President Wilson call ed a special session in 1919 to get some appropriations bills passed and a year later tbe Democratic party was buried in a Republican l#pd?!ide—Statesville Daily. THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C -WFfKtY NCWS ANALYSIS- Fighting Trumaa Gets Democratic Nomination, Calls Special Session; Barkley Selected as Running Mate By BiU Schoentgen, WNU Staff Writer (ED ITO R ’S N O T E : W hen opinions a re expressed In these colum ns, they a re those of W estern N ew spaper U nion's new s an alysts and not necessarily ol this new spaper*) r 4 Truman ‘WE ACCEPT!’ Barkley In Fighting Mood Born in Log Cabin THE PHILADELPHIA STO RY Truman-Barkley If the Democrats hadn’t known before their convention that Presi dent Harry Truman was their man they found out on the steaming Wednesday when their political show slammed through to a smash ing, triumphant finish. Harry Truman told them so, -after the enterprising liberal forces of the party had spent all that Wednesday in the 105 degree heat of convention hall proving it be yond all doubt. It looked like the Democratic party might have been completely revitalized in 12 tense hours on that last day of the convention, ending a period during which the Democrats’ morale and will to win slowly had been ossifying. The revitalization came as a re sult of two potent factors which actually could be reduced to one— President Truman’s influence. In the first place, in adopting the strong, positive civil rights plank in the platform the party not only repudiated the idea and spirit of reaction but also dealt an extremely sharp and real slap to the hands of the southern wing which had tried, at times almost savagely, to produce a cleavage within the party. That action, closely followed by the nomination of President Tru man to run for re-election and the nomination of Sen. Alben Barkley of Kentucky by acclamation for the vice-presidential spot on the ticket added another solid tim ber to the structure that the liberal elements of the party were fighting so hard to build. Those developments were, in themselves, a complete and vic torious proof that the Democrats this year intended to bring them selves before the American public as a responsible, cohesive party that would be striving for nothing less than total victory in the No vember election. But it remained for President Truman to give the whole affair a significance that could not be ignored. Fighting Finish It was a far cry from a love fest as the Democratic clans, feuding for many months, m et in the City of Brotherly Love for their 30th national convention. After three days of strife and bickering, the conclave came to a close as a fighting President Tru man triumphantly accepted his party’s nomination for the presi dency and then rocked Democrats and Republicans alike with an in stant summons to the 80th congress to return for a special session July 26. The convention, perhaps the most bitterly divided since 1860 and 1924, ended with a political ex plosion detonated by the quiet man from Independence, Mo. The ex plosion startled even the regular members of his own party who had engineered the nomination of Mr. Truman to the presidency. The Democrats pinned their No vember election hopes on a ticket of Harry S. Truman and Alben W. Barkley. It was the 64-year-old modest, low-voiced former senator from Missouri, who had succeeded to the office upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1945, for the presidency. And it was the 70- year-old, soft-speaking, compromis ing senator from Paducah, Ky., for the vice presidency. The President’s call for a special session provided a dramatic and startling climax to the 30th conven tion, which had been marked by bitter debate over ferocious family differences. The party had been ripped by in fighting between northern progres sives and southern conservatives over the issue of equal civil rights for Negroes. One-half of the Ala bama delegation — 13 of the 26 votes — and the entire Mississippi delegation of 22 had stormed out of the convention amid boos, cheers and a great pushing and shoving. This was the high point of the widely-heralded southern revolt, al though a rum p convention was called to m eet in Birmingham, Ala. Discord Flares Discord prevailed long before the 1,596 delegates from the 48 states and territories gathered in stifling, steaming Philadelphia for the quadrennial convention. Dissident factions of the party rallied behind a concerted drive to draft Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower as the party’s standard bearer. “Ike,” however, removed himself from the race with his third and final insistence that he "would not accept the nomination.” The day after the Eisenhower boom collapsed, the New Deal ef forts to oppose Mr. Truman with Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas also blew up. Douglas, whom the President had wanted for his running mate, flatly refused to be considered and also knocked himself out of the vice presidential running. After Douglas declined to enter the presidential race, Senator Pepper of Florida announced his candidacy with the backing of the New Deal wing, but his bid was not considered very seriously. Civil Rights After seven days of wrangling, a platform pledging the Democratic party more specifically than ever before to work for basic constitu tional civil rights was adopted after a floor fight which proved rather tam e in view of the anticipated knock-down, drag-out battle. The platform calls on congress to support guarantees of: “The right of full and equal po litical participation” — meaning anti-poll tax legislation. “The right to equal opportunity of employment” — another way oi promising a fair employment prac tices act. “The right of security of person’* —meaning a federal anti-lyncb law. “The right of equal treatm ent in the service and defense of our na tion”—meaning the end of segrega tion in the armed forces. The long-heralded southern re volt, however, failed to develop into the Dixie-wide proportions predicted. Only Mississippi’s 22 delegates and 13 of Alabama’s 26 stalked out of the convention in protest against President Truman’s nomination and adoption of the strong civil rights plank. However, 263 remaining southern delegates registered that area’s protest by voting for the presiden tial nomination of Sen. Richard B. Russell of Georgia. Size of the pro test vote indicated the Democratic party still has a problem on its hands 'in the South. I PERSHING: T a p s S o u n d s Gen. John J. (Blackjack) Persh ing, who led American troops to victory in World War I., is dead at the age of 87. The aged former chief of staff had been ill since February, 1938, when he was stricken at Tucson, Ariz., by a form of rheumatism which affected his heart muscles. He came close to dying at that time, but rallied with a display of fighting spirit which amazed his physicians. Since then he had lived at Walter Reed hospital in Wash ington, D. C. Death was caused by a blood clot which reached his lung. At Persh ing’s bedside when death came were his son, W arren; his sister, Miss May Pershing, and his long time physician, Maj. Gen. Shelley Marietta. Long the idol of a grateful nation, Pershing held the rank of general of the armies, a title conferred on only four other American soldiers, Washington, Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan. He outranked such con temporary five-star generals as George C. Marshall, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Douglas Mac- Arthur. Their title is general of the army. Pershing won his greatest fame as commander-in-chief of the American expeditionary force in World War I. Appointed to that post in 1917, he took personal command of the American troops sent to France. He almost imme diately became involved in a dis pute with other Allied commanders who wanted to break up the American army and use it to rein force the French and British armies wherever necessary. Persh ing flatly refused to let his troops lose their identity. Born Sept. 13, 1860, in the fron tier town of Laclede, Mo., Persh ing was graduated from West Point when he was 26. He became a sec- NO LIMITS American Cities Are Increasing in Size Los Angeles, brunt of many jokes for its ever-expanding city limits, is not the only American city which is increasing in size. In fact, American cities are get ting bigger all the time, with 298 communities extending their boun daries in 1947 for a new all-time record, according to the Interna tional City Managers association. The rush to keep up with urban expansion marked a 15 per cent increase over 1946, when 259 cities annexed new territory. Most citiei seek to annex suburban land to solve their population problems. “Cities want outlying territory to equalize local tax rates and to provide uniform public services,*' according to the association. GENERAL PERSHING Last Battle ond lieutenant in the sixth U. S. cavalry and launched a career in soldiering to which he devoted his entire life. He fought Indians in the American west, Spaniards in Cuba, Moro tribesmen in the Philippines, Mexican bandits un der Pancho Villa on the U. S.- Mexican border and Germans in France. Throughout World War II, Persh ing received a full report twice a month from General Marshall, his aide of 1917. Although old and feeble, the general followed daily developments closely from his hos pital room, paying particular at tention to “my boys,” who included Generals Marshall, Eisenhower, and George S. Patton Jr. CROPS: Record Output Barring a major crop disaster, the nation will harvest another bumper crop this year, with indi cations pointing to a general crop production which may surpass that of the outstanding year of 1942 and the record set in 1946. Acreage in crops is among the largest in recent years and yield prospects are good for most crops, agriculture department spokesmen said, on the basis of July I condi tions. An all-time record corn crop of 3.328.862.000 bushels was forecast although com, the largest feed crop, still feces such hazards as a dry, hot August or an early frost. Previous record was 3,287,927,000 bushels in 1946. The wheat crop prospect of 1,241,- 751.000 bushels represents a gain of 4 per cent from earlier forecasts. If that amount is harvested, it will rank as the second largest crop in history. Rice will set a new acreage rec ord and nearly equal last year's record output. Oats and barley will be well above average crops. Bumper crop prospects are not expected to mean any immediate increase in m eat supplies or any noticeable decrease in m eat prices but the record harvest should mean larger m eat supplies in the future. Employment Gains Continuing the postwar upward trend in civilian employment, 1.5 million more persons were em ployed in civilian occupations last April than in April, 1947, it is re vealed in figures compiled by the N a tio n a l Industrial v Conference board. Accompanying this increased em ployment was a decline of mofe than 200,000 in unemployment over the year’s period. Washington DigeSu Alas, Poor Yorickl Capital Has Seen Its Last Theater By BAUKHAGE Netvs Analyst and Commentator. WASHINGTON—As Washington hurries through summer, forced to commute to Philadelphia for its major distractions, it is faced with a painful prospect of less diversion next fall. This city which once boasted of almost a dozen legitimate theaters (when it had a much smaller population) is about to have the last one that lingered on alone turned into a movie house. The old National theater, which opened in 1835, was burned and rebuilt four times, collapsed once, is now about to end its legitimate days on an issue which is giving the Democratic party equal concern—civil rights. The Actors’ Equity, to which most actors belong, won’t play here because Negroes are not permitted in the audience. Baukhage There is talk that the old Belasco < theater, erected in 1895 on Madison place, facing La fayette square, may be reco n d itio n ed and leased to a management which will lift the racial discrimination prac tice (the Belasco is c u rre n tly gov ernment property and is used as a storehouse). If the Belasco is not re opened, Washing ton will be theater- less. W ashington’s theatrical tradition began early. One of the first theaters here was the Washington theater at Eleventh and C streets. It opened in 1804 and its ads proclaiming the grand premiere added in small type: “No Segars are to be smoked during the performance.” When that edifice burned, a second Washington theater, seat ing 700 persons, was opened in 1821. It boasted numerous im provements and innovations, in cluding stoves, reserved seats, improved acoustics, no liquor in the box lobbies and facilities for Negro playgoers. “Facilities” to day wouldn’t satisfy—accommo dations would have to be on a basis of race equality. Fourteen years after the new Washington theater had opened its doors the National theater appeared on the site of the present movie- house-to-be. It is located in the very center of what only recently has been called “downtown,” on E street which meets Pennsylvania avenue just before it bumps into the treasury building, skirts its northern front and ambles past the White House. Important clubs, hotels and restau rants are only a few blocks from- the National today but when it was built, it was, like any other point in the young capital, well-nigh in accessible in inclement weather. When it rained or snowed, Pennsyl vania avenue became a mudhole. Residential areas, except those in Georgetown, weren’t far from the center of town in the early 1840s, but because of the rough going (the wealthy didn’t like to risk their fancy equipages, out on bad nights), it cost as much as $10 to get from- home to the show. Now you can ride all the way from Capitol Hill to what was forest and farmland in 1835 for 30 cents. The capital’s greatest theatrical development began right after the Civil war and went on for three de cades. By the time I attended my first show here in 1914, there was no dearth of dramatic entertain ment and sometimes three original Broadway companies would be play ing in different theaters at the same time. It was a good town for open ings up until fairly recently. There is one theater, now a mu seum, which is still a point of in terest for tourists. Originally it was a Baptist church on Tenth street. In 1861 it was converted into what was called Christy’s opera house. Later it became Ford’s theater. In the upper stage box of this theater, President Abraham Lincoln was as sassinated by the actor, John Wilkes Booth. There was a saloon on the corner below the theater where Booth was said to have had his last drink be fore he crept into the theater, shot Lincoln and leaped to the stage, tripping on a piece of bunting and breaking his leg. For many years, over the bar of that saloon, hung a crude pic ture of the assassination, and on the floor was a m etal marker where the half-mad actor was supposed to have stood as he warmed his courage in prepara tion for his theatric crime. Washington th e a te rg r e rs were well - acquainted with John Booth’s acting but better still with that of his elder brother, Edwin, who had the greater talent. But they never saw Edwin Booth on a local stage again. He was so heart-broken over his brother’s crime that he never again played in the capital. A theatrical performance in Wash ington plays one role that it plays in no other American city. It becomes, on certain occasions, few or many, according to the taste of the in cumbent president, a ceremony of state. No m atter how private a pres ident wants to be when he sees a show, he can’t help being a public personage on such occasions. The secret service, responsible for his life, wouldn’t think of letting him sit anywhere but in a box where he is separated from the crowd. This, on the other hand, makes him con spicuous. One guard outside the door to Lincoln’s box in the Ford thea ter could have prevented the as* sassination. The fact that there was no pro vision for protection by the govern ment in the Temple of Music in Buf falo cost the nation its President William McKinley. Since then, the chief execu tive has had a bodyguard wheth er he likes it or not, and a body guard can’t hide its light under a bushel. Entrance and exit from a public building become a little bit of a pageant, no m atter how they are effected. Woodrow Wilson loved the theater. He liked vaudeville and was a fre quent visitor at Keith’s—now one of our big movie houses. Edmund Starling, head of the secret service under several presidents, often talked to me about how much Wilson loved the theater. Starling enjoyed it, I enjoyed it, and perhaps togeth er, we exaggerated Wilson’s affec tion for the footlights. But Starling used to say that Wilson got more recreation from that source than any other. In his book, “Starling of the White House,” he says Wilson pre ferred musical comedy and vaude ville to serious drama. That was the general impression among the newspapermen, I know. Both the Roosevelts, Theodore and Franklin, were great theatergoers. Neither of them was a blushing vi olet as far as receiving adulation of the crowds was concerned, but for a number of reasons, largely the hectic times, of the late Roosevelt’s regime, the former made his at tendance anywhere more of a show. Although an assassin’s bullet did lay low a man in Franklin Roosevelt’s entourage—Mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago when both were visiting Miami—Theodore Roosevelt was himself actually shot and badly wounded on one occasion. However, this was after he left the White House and while he was making a political speech in Milwaukee. It was the movie which drove out the later Washhigton legi tim ate theaters, but this death blow to the present-day National theater arises out of the grow ing demand to end segregation— a demand which made itself felt after World War I and which in creased in World War n . The frequent, well-publicized con troversies over lifting of the se gregation ban in Constitution hall, property of the Daughters of the American Bevolntion and one of the few available concert halls in the city, have spotlighted Washington’s segregation habits —they aren’t laws. The manager of the National thea ter is not closing the theater for social reasons. He simply can’t book shows if he continues race discrim ination and he thinks that if he raises the ban, he can’t sell tickets to enough white people to make > it pay. To southerners it probably seems absurd that such a question should arise, and northerners probably will be just as surprised for the opposite reason. Washington was once a southern jity, now it is a mixture of North and South and typical of neither. Embrace, Pity, Then Endure 1 Before his third party’s conven tion in Philadelphia, Henry Wallace repeated several times the assertion that he was not a Communist, that he didn’t want Communist support, in fact, that he wished they’d get out of his party. For this, as some observers pointed out, Wallace was mildly spanked by the Daily Work er, mouthpiece of Muskovite com munism in America. It seems to me that Wallace is following one of Alexander Pope’s quatrains in reverse. Remember Pope said: “Vice is a monster of so fright ful mien As to be hated needs but to be seen, ITet seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace.” Having embraced the Reds, Wal lace seems to be beginning to back up, through pity, and now is finding that he has to endure them, whether he likes them or not. UBMSON ... Gzar John L. Lewis Very few people realize what John L. Lewis has done to white-collar workers, to old people J 1® ? ® government pensions and to the rest of the labor movement. . , To get a bird’s-eye view of Lewis operations, you have to go back to the days of the New Deal when it was recognized that all old people in the United States deserved some kind of security. Accordmgly the social security act was passed, pro viding unemployment compensation and old-age pensions.Today these pensions have be come most woefully inadequate, and one factor helping to make them so has been Lewis ad his never-end ing, inflationary demands for wage increases and miners pensions. For instance, when Lewis gouges a multimillion-dollar welfare fund out of the mine operators, the op erators in turn pass the cost on to the oldsters and everyone else in the country, whose pension then be comes less valuable. Thus the miners become a privileged class set aside from the rest of the American people. Not only do they get three and four times the pensions given ordinary citizens, but other citiz ens have to pay for the miners’ pensions. Thus the widow who tries to make both ends m eet on a m eager gov ernment pension of $30 a month, has to help pay for the m iner’s pension of $100 a month — because the increased price of coal is passed on to her. ANOTHER THING: Lewis now can bulldoze wage increases for the miners which certain other un ions can’t. For instance, the rail roads have their rates sets by the interstate commerce commission. As public utilities they are not free agents to decide what they will charge the public. Actually, coal is just as much a public utility as the railroads. It is essential to the lifeblood of the nation. B ut while the rail roads are regulated by the ICC; the electric power and gas com panies by thife federal power commission; and the radio, telegraph and telephone compa nies by the. federal communica tions commission, the coal in dustry remains unregulated. STILL ANOTHER THING: Pri vate industry cannot get together and conspire to fix prices. To do so violates the Sherman anti-trust act. Yet Lewis can get all the m iners to gether from West Virginia to Utah, and from Ohio to Alabama, and coal operators, big and little, me chanized and unmechanized—with out violating the Sherman anti-trust act. PREDICTION: I, The Supreme court in a year or so will reverse its previous ruling and make la bor unions subject to the anti-trust laws. 2. Congress, recognizing that the coal industry is just as much a public utility as the railroads will set up a commission regulating both coal wages and coal prices. In oth er words, Lewis will kill the goose that laid his golden eggs. * * * Special Session Some White House advisers are strongly urging the President to call congress back for a special session. They tell Mr. Truman that he should insist on enactment of m ajor legislation, such as the Taft-EUen- der-Wagner public housing bill, which, though blocked in congress, was indorsed in the G.O.P. conven tion platform. Friends tell Mr. Truman that, if G.O.P. leaders continue to block housing during the spe cial session, he then could charge them with failure to car ry out platform pledges. Other advisers, however, have told Mt. Truman that it would be wiser politically not to call a spe cial session, but to let these Repub licans stew in the juice of their congressional mistakes. Since the President plans to make congress his No. I campaign issue if renominated, the latter is prob ably what he will do. * * * Ill-Fated Venture Harry Truman has taken a lot of ribbing about that failure in the haberdashery business. But the other day the President told on himself the story of how he had had still another ill-starred business experience—as an oil prospector. He told the story to Frank P. Douglass, able boss of the national mediation board, who called at the White House to report that he had nothing to do' with efforts of friends to get him named secretary of la bor. “I can understand your posi tion,” replied the President. “You know I was once in the oil business myself on a limited scale.” Truman grinningly related how he had had an interest in two oil wells, both of which proved, dry on the first drilling. “The project went broke and my partners and I were forced to sell out,” he added.

Inflation has raised the cost of everything from the yachting cap and the rubber shoes to the yacht and its gro ceries, but once a man has made up his mind to get out and lose his bearings amid the seagulls nothing can stop him. ♦ It is amazing how many men, who get panicky if they find them selves ashore where they are not sure of the house numbers, think it is a pleasure not to have any idea where they are aboard ship.«_ Yachting is a process of getting lost, sunburned, confused, damp and squeamish with a will of iron. ♦ It is an endeavor to feel carefree if it worries you sick. It is a search for recreation among spar buoys, canned foods, white caps, squalls, low ceilings, uncomfortable bunks, motor troubles and strange reg ulations. *_ Rule one requires you to wear a white cap, keep a chart which you can't read, determine your wheFG- abouts by binoculars and carry a horn, a raft, life preservers, and a boarding ladder. On dry land any such job would bring a revolt; at sea it is called delightful.* An auto is comparatively in expensive. It serves you 12 months instead of three and at no time do you have to varnish it, look for openings in its seams, plug up a hole aft, pump it out or hail a tug to get it off a sandbar. *_ With a boat you spend many months planning changes in design, going over the equipment, arguing with the shipyard owner, checking bills, wondering about the insur ance and condemning the yacht club directors for another assess ment. *_ What really makes a man go for the yacht routine anyhow? It m ust be the yen to escape painting the porch, flee the traffic jam and for a brief in terval find a life where there are no signs reading “No Parking,’’ “Joe’s Jumbo Hot Dogs” and “Antiques for Sale.” *_ Fetch our open dory, skipper, and let’s cast off for the open sea with a hearty “Yo ho!” * * * The Garble Sisters “What do you make of that crisis in Berlin?” “It’s awful.

Some of the decided advantages were: Grass silage preserves as much as 30 per cent more protein of alfalfa. 4 P J lllfl There need be no loss of the crop through rainy weather at haying time. Crop may be saved in a more or derly manner and labor distributed more evenly. A grass silage program helps in control of weeds because it destroys the viability of weed seeds. A grass silage program makes the control of erosion and insect pests easier, It can be used to preserve the feed value of weedy crops, It can be used to give pastures a much-needed rest period in the falL Grass silage makes for more vita mins and more color in winter milk and butter than either corn silage or sun-cured hay.

Precautions for Dipping Sheep Are Suggested Among rules to be followed when dipping sheep are: Fast the sheep several hours before dipping. Dont dip sheep immediately on arrival at the bath if they have become heated. Don’t dip sheep in an arsenical bath if they have open wounds. Don’t put the sheep In the bath head first. Prepare the bath strictly In accord ance with instructions on the pack, age and mix thoroughly. Young Cockleburs Are Poisonous for Swine Young cocklebur seedlings will poison pigs, according to veterinari ans at Iowa State college. The dan ger of cocklebur poisoning is greater this year because of short pastures. With grass short, pigs will be tempt, ed to eat young cockleburs in search of green feed. Best remedy is to keep hogs out of fields containing cocklebur seedlings until they are eliminated. B Y >A.WNU6ENT< MY PICTURE AROUND Tfte OiTTUNEtANTi FOLH IT AS SHOWN.

Renee is every bit as talented and captivating as Shirley Temple was at that age. But there isn’t a chance in a million of Renee becoming a child movie star. “You are not interested in movies —you don't even go to see them,” solemnly explains Renee, “if you are saved.” There isn’t much chance that Renee will change her ideas about the movies. Her father doesn’t like movies. Her mother doesn’t like movies. Her tutor doesn’t like movies. Just to clinch the m atter, Renee doesn’t like movies. Australia to Texas In little more than a year, Renee has preached to audiences totalling 200,000, in virtually every m ajor city in the world. Of this number, says her father, Jack Martz, Renee has “led 6,000 souls up to the altar to confess their sins and accept Jesus Christ.” She has received silver loving cups from interdenominational congrega tions in Belfast, Ireland, Perth, Aus tralia, and Houston, Tex. Renee is a brown-eyed moppet who wears cowgirl boots at revival meetings and preaches the gospel with fervor and natural sincerity. She likes chewing gum, dolls, ani- mals, traveling—and preaching. She doesn’t go to school. Her formal education is provided by her family and her tutor, Ruby May James. “She went to school once for three weeks,” her father says, “but the principal told her not to come back for two years, she was so far ad vanced.” Renee has an almost adult vo cabulary and an exceptionally re tentive memory. Her father says she memorized 200 nursery rhymes at the age of 3. Cross in Sky Her father, a form er Reading, Pa., hosiery mill worker, began preaching in 1935,, two years after meeting his wife, Esther, who plays a saxophone at the Martz revivals. Renee was born April 21, 1940, at a Swedish Covenant hospital in Chi cago, and began preaching in 1946 in Oklahoma City. She explains simply: “I got the call.” One afternoon she saw “a red cross in the sky,” Renee says “and I heard a voice from somewhere say, ‘You go and preach the gos pel.’ ” She told her father and the following night Renee preached her first sermon. Australia is probably Renee’s fa vorite country. She lectures like a professor on Australian aborigines. Stories of the Australian bush excite her imagination as cowboy-and-In- dian stories excite American chil dren. And what does Renee want to be when she grows up? What else but—“A preacher.” Jap Hermit, 60, gets 2,100 Replies to Ad for a Wife TOKYO. — The bald, 60-year-old hermit of Tokyo said he is trying to decide which of 2,100 applicants to make his bride. Ichiro Akimoto said he is waver ing between an eager 55-year-old woman with half a million yen and a 19-year-old geisha. Other Japanese men seem puz zled over the hermit’s appeal. But they appear to accept his boast that 2,100 women have answered his ad- vertisement for a wife. Akimoto lives in a dingy little house, but makes a handsome profit from his modern, competitive post war profession: Rolling tobacco from cigarette butts into new cigar ettes. He said he will settle 20,000 yen on his wife after the wedding, in vest 3,000 yen in a business for her, and provide 2,000 yen a month for living expenses. At official ex change, a yen is worth two cents, U. S.: in the black m arket, far less than that. He also said he’d throw in a sew ing machine (so she can earn more money) and perhaps a bicycle. “But I don’t know about that bi cycle,” he reconsidered. " There was a 28-year-old girl who almost drove her mother crazy to let her m arry me. I bought her a bicycle. Then we quarreled. She kept the bicycle . . .” Prisoner Conceals Homework Behind Picture of Landscape ABERDEEN, MISS.—Day after day a prisoner had been lying on his bunk and admiring a landscape which he tore from a magazine and put on the jail wall.

American woodworking industries are turning to a wood from the vast forests of the Belgian Congo known as “Korina” because they are unable to obtain high-quality timber at home. One of the countries largest tim ber users already has begun large- scale importations of the wood that stacks up with American oalc. The Industry is importing about 6,500,- 000 feet of Korina a month. The inability to obtain high- quality timber in the United States is blamed on two things—lack of a sound conservation scheme and rap id growth of the woodworking in dustries.

The Journal has been a great factor in helping to keep Cooleemee and Davie County in t''e front lines of progress. The Record is hop ing that the Journal will live long and enjoy a bounteous share of prosperity as the years go by. 49 Years Old With this issue The Davie Re cord begius its 49th year of ser vice to the people of Mocksville, Davie and surrounding sections. For 41 years the present editor and owner has been on the job. The paper has never missed an is sue and has never come out a day late in all these years. Regardless of heat or cold, rain, sleet or snow, the paper has gone to press on time. The Lord has been good to us during all these years. We have made many mistakes and have said and done many things we should have left unsaid and undone, and have failed to do many things we should have done. We have done everything pos sible to help build up Davie County. We have fought for every measure that we thought would benefit our town and coun ty, we have seen Mocksville grow from a sleepy village of less than 1,000 population, to a live and progressive town of about 2200 people. Our roads, schools and other public neccessities have made rapid strides in the past 40 years. W hen we came here there were no paved streets, no water system, no electricity, and but three small manufacturing enter prises. Today we have a network of fine highways, good bridges, good school buildings with larger and better buildings in the near future. We are proud to have had a part in helping to secure these fine things for our town and county. To all who have stood by us and given us their advertising, printing and subscriptions during all these years, we extend our sin cere thanks. We hope you will continue to call on us at all times when we can help you in any way to make this a better world 'n which to live. No New Cases Davie County hasn’t had a case of polio reported since June 15th. Up to this date the county has had but five cases this year. This State has reported about 1100 cases to date, this year. Mrs. G. f . foster Mrs. Sarahann G. Foster, 88, died at her home, Mocksville, Route 4, at 9:15 a. m., Friday.

W fF IC ION CORNER Gardenias From Mrs. Garrity By FRANK BROOKHOUSER D a r r e l l m ille r , the high-powered scribbler and bis jrau, the lovely Marianna Latte, of the flickers, are readying a separate man- Jal billing . . . careers donTt mix ’tis said. , . . Mrs. Garrity read the item from Hal Boyd's gossip column in the Blade for the fourth time, staring at the paper which lay on the table In the supply room as she wrung out her mop. She always read Hal Boyd. His column kept her abreast of all the doings among the big people, people she saw sometimes in the hotel. When she had first read the item on the subway coming to work, it had struck her with as much im pact as if the two perstfns men tioned had been her own daughter and son-in-law and now she went about her work without spirit, missing the warm delight with with a dazed feeling, unable to disguise her surprise at seeing the lovely lady in his room. And then he had said: “Mom” —he always called her mom—“I want you to meet Mrs. Miller. Isn’t she a lovely thing?” “She is that, Mr. Miller.” "Marianne, this is mom—Mrs. Garrity. She’s taken care of me for a long time.” "Ah, you’re always kidding, Mr. Miller. I just clean his rooms for him, Mrs. Miller.” “And never touches any papers that shouldn’t be touched,” he had said. “And always puts the slippers in the proper spot under the bed.” “I suppose now you’ll be needing a regular woman.” She was strangely frightened at the thought. “We will not," he had said. And then Mrs. Miller, such a sweet, kind girl, had said: "Of m "I want seven dollars’ worth of gardenias,” Mrs. Garrity told the florist. He stared at her bewildered. “Yes, seven . . . ” she repeated. <vhich she always contemplated gleaning their rooms. Such nice young people they were and, after all, she had known them since that first morning, Mr. Miller even longer. And they had always been so happy together. It didn’t jeem right. She lifted the bucket /iredly and started walk ing to tng rooms which had been Mr. Miller's even before they m ar ried. Everything in the bedroom was the same and the picture mingled with the implications of the item brought a sharp tug to her heart. His coat was lying over the chair. He must have worn the camel’s hair this morning, she thought. Well, she supposed it was warm enough, although the wind was sharp, biting. The coat had been ■there like that the first morning. And she had put the bucket down, yes right here in the bathroom, I Cf, by NANCY PEPPER THE VERY IDEA! Honestly, you teens are the most ingenious lot. In fact, you remind us of what papa lightning bug said to m ama light ning bug: “Junior is certainly bright for hisage.” Here are some of your latest discoveries. ID E A F O R ID E N T IF IC A TION — Just to make sure you won’t get your rub ber boots mixed up with Susie Smith’s in school, punch a few holes around the tops and string plaid shoelaces through them. You’ll have no more boot mix-ups, unless Susie decides to do the very same thing.

For instance, John Agar was “Boom” in “Fort Apache.” Well, wasn’t he? WHEN YOU’VE SEEN ENOUGH, FRAJIE IT—What you say to some one who stares at you too long for comfort. AN ESTELLA—A snobbish girl, as in “Great Expectations.” OKAY, BEAN, LET’S STRING ALONG—Let’s dance. BLESS YOUR POINTED LITTLE HEAD—Can be said at any time, especially to someone who has just popped a corny. course not, mom. If you need extra time, you take it and we’ll be happy to pay you for the extra work.” Joy and good feeling and bright spirit had filled the room that morning. And gardenias, dozens of gardenias, in the pitcher on the dresser, in another pitcher on his little bookcase. Mrs. Miller had listened almost enchanted by the story, it seemed, as he explained the reasons for the gardenias. “They have a special sig nificance,” he had said. ‘‘It seems that I was going into , a flower shop and she was com ing out and I was going to bay gardenias and she had already bought them. And we bumped and I knocked them oat of her arms. And we had lunch. And we got m arried. And there’s a gardenia for every day of the two months we were courting, Mrs. Garrity.” They had always been happy to gether. You could tell that by the way their faces brightened when they looked at each other, Mrs. Garrity thought. Mrs. Miller had just been starting out then but now she was a big star and Mrs. Garrity went to the neighborhood theater both nights when she was playing in a picture and told Mr. Garrity and her children how well she knew her and got autographs for them. “And she’s as sweet and kind as you could find,” Mrs. Garrity al ways said. Scrubbing the bathroom floor, Mrs. Garrity remembered all tiie dresses she had given her, the rich perfumes, books for the children, and never forgetting to ask about Mr. Garrity’s health. Of course, they couldn’t have a house, not with her in Hollywood so much. But they had made the hotel rooms cozy and home-like. And when she was in the city, they had sucji good times. - It had never occurred to Mrs. Garrily to doubt the item in the column and she was not unduly surprised when she saw the suit cases in the bedroom. That was why Mrs. Miller had come back this time, then, to take the things of hers that were in the room. There was a short note on the dresser. “Please take the black dresses in the closet, Mrs. Garrity,” it said. Now wasn’t that just like her, Mrs. Garrity thought, remember ing me, even with all her sad ness. And her heart must be so heavy today. No, it wasn’t right. Even if they were apart a lot. It probably had been some foolish argument they would both get over in time. Hadn’t she argued with Mr. Garrity? Yes, many times when they were younger. And it was nicer thali ever when you made up. The idea of gardenias came sud denly to Mrs. Garrity in the maze of memories that were flashing through her mind. There wasn’t much time. Mrs. Miller was prob ably only out for lunch and would be back any minute. Mrs. Garrity reached into her pocket, pulled out a small wad of bills. She counted them carefully. There were seven. Well, the grocer would just have to wait. She went down the service elevator and hurried to the flower shop on the corner. “I want seven dollars’ worth of gardenias,” she told the florist. He stared at her, bewildered. “Seven dollars worth,” she repeat ed, looking at him sternly. He shrugged his shoulders and started to work. She walked rapidly back to the hotel with the large box. In the rooms again, she hurried to the typewriter and fingered the keys idly, her rough, gnarled hands looking strange in this po sition. Now what should she say? It was very important what she said. It had to erase a lot of things, it had to say a lot of things. She started to type with great care and deliberation. “BECAUSE THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL LIKE YOU ...” Yes, that was all right. Maybe he would be able to put it better, him being a writer, but that is what he would mean. “ . . . AND TO WISH YOU HAP PINESS WHEREVER YOU GO . . . ” Yes, that was all right. She felt almost romantic, reading it to herself again. “WITH ALL MY LOVE ...” She smiled as she typed his name. Hurriedly, she filled two vases with water, put the gardenias in them, placing, the note auspiciously beside one, and then she began to clean the rooms, working spir-. itedly, feeling much better now. She managed to finish her work before Mrs. Miller returned. Reading Hal Boyd’s column on the subway the next morning, she felt her heart quivering with in tense happiness, felt a lilt there that she could rardly believe was possible for a woman of her age. Her eyes glazed with tears as she read the item for the fourth time: nDarrell Miller and bis missus, Marianne Lane, say it isrit so that they are though and they have a message for Mrs, Garrity . . . the message: 'IF YOU THINK IT'S THAT IMPORTANT, SO DO W E’." Mrs. Garrity got off the subway, her eyes dreamy, walked proudly into the basement of the hotel.

DEVOTIONAL READING: Uattbtw 25:31*45. Ebed-MeIech, Tbe Ethiopian Lesson for August 8, 1948 Dr. Newton ARE you ready for a real story?. Then turn to Jerem iah 38, and read on to verse 18 in the 39tn chap ter. This interesting story reveals a hero, Ebed-melech, by nam e, w hich means “the king’s s la v e .” T his m ay have been his official title rather than his personal name. Any way, he is the hero of our story, and a very admirable hero, in deed. He was a Negro, and E th io p ian eu nuch, in charge of the king’s chambers. Zedekiah, as the story reveals, held Ebed-melech in high esteem. He was, obviously, a most honorable man. How he had come to know Jeremiah, and to esteem him so highly, is a subject for profitable contemplation. The devotional read ing, Matthew 25:31-46, offers final opinion on the value of Ebed-me- lech’s ministry to Jeremiah. The golden text, “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men,” Galatians 6:10. * is * JEREMIAH’S FEIEND EBED-MELECH was Jeremiah's friend. When he saw what the princes had done to Jeremiah, he went to the king and begged him to allow him to draw Jeremiah out of the mire in the dark dungeon. He know that Jeremiah would soon die in this awful place, and Ebed-me lech risked his life in making the request to rescue Jeremiah. The wonder is that the princes had not ordered Ebed-melech slain. Evi dently, they recognized the hand of God. Like as this Negro servant in the long ago served God by rendering kindness to a man of another race, so may we today serve God and civilization by good will and kindly service to all races. * * * FREEDOM THROUGH A SLAVE THE story of Ebed-melech’s kind ness to Jeremiah lifts to en nobling example the act of a slave on behalf of freedom. The world’s benefactors are those who under stand freedom, and cast themselves in utter self-forgetfulness into the struggle for right against wrong. What had Jeremiah done to re ceive such harsh treatment? He had delivered God’s message to the peo ple of Jerusalem, warning them that the city would be taken by the Chaldeans, and how they might es cape destruction. Jeremiah was proclaiming freedom—not always a popular course. For this effort to help the people, he was thrown into the muddy dungeon. This servant of the king was the only man in Jerusalem who understood the pur pose of Jeremiah. * * * A FRIEND INDEED GRANTED permission from the king to rescue Jeremiah, Ebed- melech devised prompt methods of letting down old pieces of rope and rags, telling Jerem iah how to fasten them under his arms, and with the aid of thirty men drew him up from the mire, and brought him into the court of the prison. And then God spoke words of great reward to Jerem iah on behalf of Ebed-melech. “But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the Lord; and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid. For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee, because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord.” « * * WHO SIDES WITH GOD EBED-MELECH’S noble ministry to Jerem iah lifts up a banner for every true follower of the Lord. Who sides with God must always win. That is the lesson of the les son. We should never have known about this Negro, had he not cast his all on the side of God. "Who sides with Goi must always win, No cause to him is lost.” (C opyright b y the Interaotlonol Council of Religioua Education on behalf of 40 Proteatemt denominations.

Jtttarrsas Reign of the Bureaus “Bureaucracy” is a mossed-over but not outmoded term. Its popularity may have faded lately because politicians seem to use the term less and less. I fear that all too many folks have as sumed that government by bureauc racy is here to stay, that no matter what brand of, national administration you have, the emphasis will still be on Washington. Yet, to welcome an increasing reign of bureaucrats is to Invite totalitarianism. The battle against political encroach ments upon the lives of our people still can be won. When the facts are car ried straight to the bar of public opin ion, I believe informed Americans will repudiate this reign of bureaucrats. For a generation, the scope of govern ment's power has extended outward from the federal center. People are tired of abuses that come in the wake of bureaucracy. Beyond the Law Do you realize that some 1,200 fed eral bureaus now exist to dominate, control, and restrain every manner of human activity? Back of these bu reaus eleven government agencies func- as corporations and 44 actually exist as corporations. The majority of these have little constitutional justification. Compliance with constitutional law is not important to these bureaus and agencies. Neither is the spirit of indi vidual enterprise, which is so much a part of American tradition. These agencies feel they are beyond the law and the spirit of the constitu tion. While competing with the private enterprise of citizens, these federal corporations indulge in wasteful, ex travagant, and corrupt practices. A screen of bureaucratic confusion, with the help of garbled records and false accounting methods, hides them from full public view. These methods re semble thn--- th" monarchies of old! No Rent, No Taxes Federal corporations that compete with the enterprises of private citi zens have rare advantages. They pay no rent, and decline to refer to this in their bookkeeping. They are simply “operating government property ."They pay no taxes, like the corporations with which they compete. They are “the government,” and their purpose is to consume taxes. Tax money is grist for their mills. Despite having to pay no rent and no taxes, federal corporations are esti mated by one source as having used up $5,500,000,000 more than they earned in the year ending last June. Moreover, they have a free rein on costs. Losses added to well-hidden costs are esti mated to make up a full third of the annual federal budget. All this cost is a huge burden on the productivity of our citizens. Such wastefulness has no place in this people’s republic! Consider the effect on our nation now, if we could eliminate one-third of the tax requirement! Not only would we have needed money for world re habilitation and for retiring the na tional debt. While establishing a sound federal economy by eliminating these needless government costs, we would increase the standard of living for ev eryone. But most important, by ending the reign of bureaucracy, we would halt the march toward totalitarianism! Definite Proof Mr. and Mrs. Newbride were nearing the tearful stage of their first till. “You talk of possessing judg ment," sniffed Mrs. Newbride. “My judgment is superior to yours!” “Oh, unquestionably,” retorted Mr. Newbride. “Our choice of life partners proves that.” Grammatical Sadie — And when Mrs. Gubbins sez you wasn’t no Iidy, wot did yer say? Judy — I sez, “Two negatives means an infirmary,” and I knocks 'er down. She’s in the 'orspital now. DAVIE BRICK COMPANY DEALERS ’IN , GOOD COAL Dav Phriiv 134 - Night Phone 119 ,.-icBviile. N. C.

C HUNTING for M ore BUSINESS Try Our Ad !Textile Specialists Study Elasticity in Knit Fabrics •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 m aterials 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 yarn, for example, is far more elastic than yarn 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. 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. 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-staple fibers and the yarns short-staple yams. Worsteds are made from tightly twisted long-staple yarns. Worsteds have a smoother, harder finish. Sometimes, woolen and worsted yarns may be mixed. No More Cod 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. 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 year 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. LO O K IN G A ffE A D GEORGE S. BENSON PniUnt--JtariUf ClUift Stattf. Jrtartsat JUST ROUTINE TACTICS The “good” Communist is sworn to lie. (Unfortunately, all the liars are not in Russit, nor even in the Communist party in this country. Life would be much more simple if they were.) However, among our so-called liberals, and even the fel- low-travelers there are those who are waking up to the fact that dis dain for plain old honesty and in tegrity is one of the chief charac teristics of Communism. I know only one answer to the problem of the Ue, and that is: truth. If there were only one Communist in the world folks with truth in their lives could isolate him easily enough. But when you admit the tactics of lying into international relationships, things begin to ' get complicated. It is indeed a real pro- Iem to deal with nations which lack moral integrity, and my sym pathies go out to our statesmen who have to meet the Communists on international issues. Nothing On Merit To illustrate. Shortly after pres ident Truman’s message to Congress on European recovery, the Moscow radio announced: “The essence of the Marshall Plan is war.” Mar shall, the radio said, was out chiefly to assist American monopolies. Marshall was called the "intimate friend of Wall Street big wigs ” It seems that to represent Secretary of State Marshall as imperialist, monopolist, oppressor, and warmon ger is just routine Communist tac tics. Secretary Marshall is not an im perialist and he is not trying to conduct a program in Europe in the interest of American monopo lies, and so on, which fact eeryone knows. Even the RussAns who were saying those things knew the state ments were untrue. Their method of defeating the Marshall Plan at that time was to misrepresent it. They didn’t dare criticise it on its merits. See the Methods These statements were designed, of course, for the American pirhhc. To the American public this parti cular incident was perhaps of little importance in itself. However, it is useful in demonstrating the tactics used by Communists in America for several decades. These men knew at the start it would not be easy to urdermine the Amerman day of life. They realized their best method was to cause dissension and friction among the groups in Amer ica. The Communists apparently de cided that the easiest way to create this friclion would be to set labor and industry against each other. To this end they began picking out American industrialists and ca 1Iiug them profiteers and capitalists, dis interested in the welfare of the worker. They also misrepresented the amount of profits, until many people think industrialists make ten times the profit actually made. We can see quickly the absurdity of attacks on Secretary Marshall. But perhaps we have been slower to see the lies and misrepresenta tions used right here in our country anr :nst our own people. Our indus trialists have worked unceasingly,* along with labor, to help raise our; standard of living. Only in America i do the rank and file enjoy cars,, radios, telephones, refrigerators and; hundreds of other luxuries. Let's keep our thinking straight, despite ; imunist tactics. .

Mr. Hendricks tells us that his stay in the mountains was enjoved and that he is improved In health. J. A. Daniel is making prepara tions to erect a dwelling bouse 00 South Main street. MocksvIIIe has made a contract for electric lights and the Davie Capitol will soon be "lit up.” Mocksville having caught the spirit of the day is making splendid pro gress. Streets have brought a new day to town and those who knew this place some years ago would scarcely recognize it now so great has been the general improvement. Roland Lakey, of near Cana, happened to a serious accident at a sawmill Friday. One of !the "dogs,’ bit him on the arm and head, cut ting his head very bad and crack ing his skull. He was brought here immediately and his wounds dressed by Dr Rodwell. He is expected to recover. H. N. Jessup and W. J. Neipen- berg have just completed their pret ty hollow tile bungalow on Wilkes- boro street and will move within the next day or two They are e. recting a hollow tile bungalow for A. A. Holleman adjoining their residence. Never Great Rev. W. E. faeobour. Hitfb Point. N. C. Bi It’s never great to do tho wrong, Her travel with the evil thron->; It’s never great to curse aud swear.

Making Vfeather When the chief of the United States weather bureau appeared before a House committee a short time ago and asked to be excused from acepttng a balf.million dol lar appropriation to conduct rain- making experiments. Congressman Rogers of Florida remarked dryly that "we ought to laud this man for coming hero and recommending that the sum he reduced. That’s the first time I’ve seen that done.’’ When a Federal bureau refuses funds that’s uews indeed, but the weather bureau chief may have been thinking about the 19th ceu. try schoolmaster who won out in a competition tor the job of teach. |ug village school by claiming that he could make the weather and got fired bacause he couldn’t make it to suit everybody at the same time. For when Farmer Brown needed a dry spell to cut his wheat, Farmer Smith clamored for rain because his pasture was drying up. So to keep peace in the community the villagers decided to get a less ac complished teacher and leave the weather to the Good Lord. Privately owned companies, such as General Electric, which have done considerable spadework in ralntnaking experiments, have ser ved notice on the government that if further cooperation and assist ance is expected, then the goaer- nment will have to take full re sponsibility for any legal suits that may arise as a result of cloud physics experiments. Rainmaking has progressed to the point where it has practical value although artificial showers still depend on the presence of rrin clouds which aien’t always handy when precipitation is most needed. But the biggest obstacle seems to be the human element getting every body to agree on the when and the where. And that is probably the reason the weather bureau would prefer to concern itself solely with predicting rather than making the weather. Very sensible, too, we’d say.—Statesville-Daily. Women Secure Increasing Number of Public Offices A woman’s place—among others —is in state government, according to a recent survey of at least 30 states. Citing a study now being made by Women’s National institute, the civil service assembly reports that in the majority of states women are being appointed in increasing numbers to public jobs, expecially in social wel fare, health, education and labor. California, Connecticut, Illinois, Oregon, New Jersey and New York are among states greatly increasing the number of women in public of fice during the past few years. These states also have passed laws recently protecting feminine inter ests generally. Current trend in such legislation is toward laws which safeguard women’s interests by insisting on equal pay for equal work, regard less of sex, by opening jury duty to women and by granting community property rights to married couples. One state now maintains coun seling service to help women set up and run their own businesses, while another meets with women’s repre sentatives to discuss legislation of special interest to women. In New York, women now are em ployed in every department of the state. New York has named a woman as deputy commissioner of its commerce department. In Cali fornia, 80 women have been ap pointed to public posts in the past three years. Corn Credited With Saving Colonists From Starvation The advance of American civiliza tion has been closely paralleled by the increasing importance of Indian maize or as it now is called—corn. When the early settlements in Virginia were in dire peril of starv ing, it was the foresight of Capt. John Smith, who had decreed that every colonist plant corn, that saved the day. Thus from its very incep tion, America has been permeated with and obligated to corn, which has played a major, if little real ized, role in its history. Many branches of science have been responsible for development of the com industry. For example, the agronomists, the chemists, the engi neers, the geneticists, as well as many others have pooled their tal ents to raise the original, humble Indian maize to the prominent role it now plays in world economy. The value of the corn harvest an nually exceeds that of any other agricultural crop. As a m atter of fact, in 1946 the value of the total com crop was greater than the com bined total for all the coal mined and all of the oil produced in this country. Valuable Oil From Weeds Possibility of making a valuable oil from the seed of pennycress, a European weed common in middle- western and western states, has been suggested by the department of agriculture. This weed, also called fan weed, french weed, dish mustard, treacle wormseed and bas tard cress is similar in general char acteristics and potential uses to rape and mustard oils. Its seeds yield about a third of their weight in oil; the residual oil tree meal has a protein content higher than that of undecorticated cottonseed meal ob tained by mechanical expression which contains about 28 per cent protein. The potential value of pen nycress oil naturally lies in its close resemblance to oils of rape and mustard, which are valued ingre dients of certain lubricants, and are employed in machinery operating under heavy loads at high tempera tures such as marine and diesel engines. Both rape and mustard oils are used in some food products, and is is probable that, with proper re finement, pennycress oil is edible. Huge 17. 8 . Fire Toll Direct losses by fire in 1947 reached an unprecedented 700 mil lion dollars, or 23 per cent higher than the 1946 toll of 561 million dollars. The 1947 fire loss, if appor tioned equally among America’s 60 million jobholders, would cost each wage earner $11.66. In United States cities fire protection costs about $3.69 per capita, according to the president’s conference on fire pre vention. Thus public protection against fire would cost each family of four a total- of $14.76. Adding $11.66 to $14.76 equals $26.42, the average family’s share in the direct cost of fire and the protection made necessary by the threat of fire. This only covers the direct costs of de structive fire. The indirect costs, which include losses of business, credit, medical expenses and other factors, which can only be esti mated, are two to three times the direct property loss. £ Good Precaution Ar te m u s WARD was traveling on a slow-going southern train soon after the Civil war. When the conductor was punching his ticket, Artemus remarked: “Does this rail road company allow passengers to give it advice, if they do so in a respectful m anner?” The conductor replied in gruff tones that he guessed so. “Well,” Artemus went on, “it oc curred to me it would be well to detach the cowcatcher from the front of the engine, and hitch it to the rear of the train. For, you see, we are not liable to overtake a cow; but what’s to prevent a cow stroll ing into this car and biting a pas senger?” ‘HONOR THY FATHER . . “Boy,” said a traveler to a dis obedient hill-billy youth he encoun tered, “didn’t you hear your father speak to you?” “Oh, y-a-a-s,” replied the youth lazily, “but Ah don’t mind nothin’ he says. Maw don’t nother, an’ 'twixt us both we’ve jes’ about got the dawg so he don’t.” Oversight A grave digger, absorbed in his thoughts, dug a grave so deep he couldn’t get out. As the chilly night came on he became more and more uncomfortable, and started shouting for help. At length a passing in ebriated gent, attracted by his cries, staggered over to investigate. “Get me out of here,” shouted the grave digger. “I’m cold.” The inebriated gent regarded him with surprise. “No wonder you’re cold,” he answered, “they forgot to put any dirt on you.” MADE TO ORDER Canvasser—May I have a few minutes of your time? Prospect—Yes, if you will be brief. What can I do for you? I’m a man of few words. Canvasser—Just the man I’m looking for, my specialty is dic tionaries. Time To Go Home A drunk had repeatedly called the hotel telephone operator in the early morning as to when the bar opened. Each time he was told "eleven o'clock.” Finally the manager was asked to take the call and he said “eleven o’clock, but I’m going to be there to see that you don't get in.” Where upon the drunk replied, “I don’t want in, I want out!” NO STRETCH ROOM “How did you sleep?” asked the hostess sweetly. “Was that couch all right?” “It wasn’t so bad,” said her son’s college friend amiably. "I got up from time to time and rested.” Rejoinder A cautious man wrote the follow ing to a mail-order house: “Please forward to me one of those gasoline engines you describe on page 135 of your catalog. If the engine’s any good, I’ll send you a check for it.” A few days later he received this answer from the mail-order house: “Please send check, and if it’s any good, we’U send you the engine.” U. S. Sboe Industry Traeed To Mayflower’s Third Trip More than 800 generations have come to witness the light of day and retire since the first bearded craftsman wove at his knee the water-softened, pliant strands of a ripened, three-cornered reed of pa pyrus { to form the sandals which were to be worn by himself and members of his family. In the field of modem shoe de sign, thousands of models have been brought forth. In the field of shoe tools and machinery, more than 8,000 patents portraying the genius of 3,000 inventors have been record ed. In the field of shoe manufactur ing processes, scores of technologi cal improvements have been de vised. In the field of leather, hun dreds of worthwhile innovations have been conceived. And in the many other industries closely allied to shoes and leather, hundreds of inventors have brought forth com parable improvements of benefit to the millions of people who of neces sity use footwear. The shoe industry in the United States started in 1629 when the May flower, on its third voyage to Amer ica, landed in the harbor of Salem, Mass. Shortly after anchor had been dropped, Thomas Beard, a shoe maker of St. Martin's, London, and Isaac Rickman, a journeyman shoe maker, came ashore with bundles of hides and the rough implements utilized in the making of early foot wear. Shoes, in those days, were crude and ill-shaped and generally low around the ankle. For ornamenta tion, they carried huge silver buckles. TTie right shoe could not be distinguished from the left, and con sequently shoes were worn on either foot. Innerspring Mattress Has Wide Margin in Popularity There are two types of m at tresses, the innerspring and the solid upholstered. Ever since the in- nerspring was introduced in the 1920s, it has been gaining steadily in popularity until today it represents 90 per cent of the consumer demand for mattresses. The well-tempered wire coils of the innerspring unit are designed to build up resistance in proportion to weight The way in which the coils are held together divides all innerspring m attresses into two groups. In one, the coils are individually encased in cloth pockets which are sewed to gether. In the other, the coils are fastened to one another by small helical springs or metal ties. Coils in the metal tied units usually are larger and made of heavier wire, than those in pocketed types. Tempering of the wire and the coil design in both determine the resiliency. The filling material which is placed on the top and bot tom of the spring unit also is im portant to the comfort and durabil ity of the m attress. In innerspring mattresses, it consists of felted cot ton layers, curled hair or a combi nation of both. Various types of in sulation, including sisal, quilted or ; stitched pads and other special pat ented devices are used between Ihe coil unit and the padding to keep it from working down into the coils. Plains of Kansas Back in 1541—some 60 years be fore Pocahontas saved John Smith’s life—the first white man set foot on Kansas soil. He was Gen. Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, who trav ersed “mighty plains” covered with “humpbacked oxen.” "The earth,” he said, “is very strong and black, very well watered by brooks, springs and rivers, and the country itself is the best I have ever seen.” More than 300 years later, in 1854, settlement of Kansas was begun, and here commenced the battle over slavery which culminated in the Civil war. In. 1861, Kansas be came a state, 400 miles wide and 200 miles deep, and after the Civil war, people poured into the state, plowed up grass and planted com and wheat. These brave pioneers replaced the Indians, and the herds of buffalo that once roamed the plains gave way to herds of cattle. Jail Has Theme Song “Some Day Soon” was the song adopted by the Goulbum jail orches tra, near Sydney, AustrMia, for its theme during broadcasting. The band also features “All the Time” and "I'm Confessin’.” The band during one of its broadcasts played two numbers composed by a man who is serving a life sentence for murder. One was “The Cliffs,” a waltz, and the other a popular num ber called “Dream Serenade.” The latter has been published commer cially. The pianist, who also is the conductor, practices and composes in his cell on a silent keyboard which he made himself. Members of the band spend all their recrea-. tional time rehearsing.

Our County And Social Security Bv Mrs. Ruth G. Duffv, Manager. About two million persons were receiving Federal Old.Age and Survivors Benefits at the end of 1937, according to figures recently supplied our office by the Social Se curity Administration. Of this number, about 900,000 claims were being paid to aged persons who had worked, sufficiency long in employment covered by the Social Security Act. There is still a small proportion ot retired individuals who are not receiving benefits to which they should be entitled. If you are one of these your loss is due to your failure to appty for benefits. No claims are paid before an applica tion is filed. The law requires that this be done.

Campaign* Skul duggery As everyone knows, the treasury of the Democratic National Com mittee is practically empty, be cause ihe big contributors have not been willing to put their money on a sure loser. Unable to get campaign money by the customary method, both the committee and the administration have resorted to subterfuges that are anything b.it admirable and might even be considered by a strict moralist as unethical. First President Truman an nounced that his tour of the West was non-political. That definition made it possible for him to charge the expenses to the govarnment as part of his legal travel allowance It is perfectlv obvious to all but the blindest of partisans that the call tor the special session is like wise a campaign maneuver. The President Intends to figbt the cam paign in Congress instead of in the hustings. The special session will cost us at least a half a million dollars, if we count only the mileage paid to con gressmen and the printing of the Congressional Record and leave out all overhead and incidentals, which will not be inconsequential. We don’t know bow much the President's campaign in the West cost us, but as a rough guess we should say about $100,000. So the taxpayers of both parties have been assessed some $600,000 for the Democratic campaigu fund. — Charlotte Obsei ver. 3513 T H E DAVTE RECORD. M OCKSVILLE. N. C. 'WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS' Berlin Crisis Nears Showdown; First Peacetime Draft Begins; Special Session Opens Campaign -By Bill Schoentgen, WNU Staff Writer- (ED ITO R 'S N O T E: W hen opinions a re expressed In these co lu m a s, th e y a re those of W estern N ew spaper U nion's new s an aly sts and n o t necessarily of Uiis new spaper.) n r w i rAni Th NOT YET—BUT SOON Josb sergeant now — but just w ait a few m onths! BERLIN: Shoivdoivn The old familiar pattern of just one crisis after another in the cold war between Russia on the one hand and the western Allies on the other was being repeated again in the Berlin showdown. But an un easy world watched anxiously, fearful that at any moment some crisis might explode into actual warfare. Urgency of the Berlin crisis re sulted in the recall of Gen. Lucius D. Clay, U. S. military command er in Germany, and his top politi cal adviser, Ambassador Robert Murphy, for a first-hand report on the situation. Clay conferred with President Truman, State Secretary Marshall and Army Secretary Royall on means of carrying out the Ameri can government’s intention to stay in Berlin despite the concerted Rus sian drive to force the western powers out. The official line was laid down by Secretary Marshall, who said that while the United States would not be “coerced or intimidated” by the Russian blockade of Berlin, the ad ministration nevertheless will “pro ceed to reach an acceptable solu tion to avoid the tragedy of war.” Although rumors that the Berlin blockade might prove the spark that would enkindle fighting war fare permeated official quarters, the U. S. position appeared to be that this coimtry hopes to avoid war. However, if the Russians are determined to cause more serious trouble at Berlin, this government is determined to resist force with force. It is equally determined to avoid taking any step which might make the situation more serious as long as negotiation and other diplomatic means remain open. There will be many more talks, much painstaking d e lib e r a tio n among the western powers in con nection with the exchange of notes regarding the Berlin blockade, ir retrievably linked up as it is with the over-all German settlement. Marking the high water m ark in the deepening Berlin crisis and lending emphasis to the determina tion to back up its policy that American troops will not leave Berlin, the United States dispatched powerful reinforcements to its air arm in strife-torn Europe. A big question m ark still con cerned Russia’s ultimate objectives. Was the Kremlin merely trying to drive the Allies out of Berlin or was this but another step in the funda mental objective of moving the iron curtain inexorably westward, coun try by country, until it embraced the whole heartland of Europe? DRAFT: Blows Strong America’s first draftees — 1948 style—are going to be whisked into uniform so fast they won’t know what hit them. The draft proceedings wfll start rolling Monday, August 30, when the first of 9,500,000 youths will register. Registrations will con tinue on 17 designated days extend ing to September 18. From these millions of men, volunteer draft boards throughout the nation will select the manpower to match the m aterial build-up of air, land and sea forces called for under the rearm am ent program. Military men are set to welcome the first draftees into their ranks any time after September 22. Under the law actual drafting cafmot start until that date. The presidential proclamation setting the registra tion dates did not specify when in- FOOD: Consumes Dough Confirming suspicions which house wives have held for many months, department of commerce analysts reported that food stores easily get a bigger part of the retail dollar now than any other business. Food stores are doing far better than be fore the war by taking in 27.6 cents of each dollar spent in retail chan nels. In 1940, by comparison, their share was 23.5 cents, according to the report. ductions would begin, but they are not expected to start before October I. The first draftee, it is indicated, will be 25, unmarried and a non- veteran. Registration dates specified by Mr. Truman for each age follow: The oldest group, meaning men born in 1922 after August 30, 1922, will be registered on Monday, August 30. Men born in 1923, August 31 and September I. Men bom in 1924, September 2 and 3. Men born in 1925, September 4 and 7. Men bom in 1926, September 8 and 9. Men born in 1927, September 10 and 11. Men born in 1928, September 13 and 14. Men bom in 1929, September 15 and 16. Men bom in 1930 before Septem ber 19, September 17 and 18. The proclamation stated that youths bom after September 19, 1930, will register on their eight eenth birthday, or within five days thereafter. About 1,200,000 youths come into this category yearly. CAMPAIGN: Advanced With the kickoff advanced six weeks through President Truman’s action in calling congress back into special session, the A m e ric a n people are in for one of the most heated and intensive presidential campaigns in recent history. The whole political calendar has been advanced this year. The President’s opening message to the recalled congress signaled the ini tial salvo in the campaign, which will be in full swing until the November balloting. Normally, national candidates wait until after Labor day before entering into thorough-going dis cussion of the issues of the cam paign. This year’s campaign also be came more involved with the addi tion of third and fourth parties to the field. Although its ticket of Henry Wal lace for president and Glenn Taylor for vice president was in the field months ago, third party adherents followed the Republicans and Demo crats to Philadelphia for their nominating convention. Rebellious southern Democrats, after walking out on their regular party conclave, gathered in Bir mingham, Ala., to enter a fourth party in the field. Heading the states’ rights ticket are Gov. J. Strom Thurmond of South Caro lina for president and Gov. Field ing L. Wright of Mississippi for vice president. The states’ rights Democrats have shown their greatest strength in Alabama and Mississippi, where a combined 20 electoral votes are pledged against Mr. Truman. Bright Sayings— I — OfOldsters —* “Women’s brain are badly need ed in every type of skill and at every level."—Miss Dorothy Ken yon, New York City attorney and U. S. delegate to the United Na tions’ commission on status of women. “It is common knowledge that Communists joined unions to cause trouble, not to help the unions, and congress had. a right to legislate against this.” — Judge Sherman Minton of U. S. circuit court of appeals. “It must not be forgotten that with Russia we are dealing not with a great nation that can express its free will but with 13 men in the Kremlin who have made themselves the m asters of the brave Russian people and who rule them with far more dictatorship than was ever shown by any Russian czar since the days of Ivan the Terrible.”— Winston Churchill. “Never again should we have to abandon our men as was the case at Corregidor.” — Vice Admiral Arthur W. Radford, chief of naval operations CRACKDOWN: On Reds Uneasiness over the foreign sit uation was reflected in two actions directed against subversive ele ments on the home front. In the greatest crackdown in his tory on the Community party in this country, a special federal grand jury in New York indicted 12 party leaders on charges of con spiring and agitating to overthrow the U. S. government and of being members of a party which threat ens overthrow of the government. The special grand jury to delve Into Communist activity was creat ed in June, 1947, by order of Atty. Gen. Tom C. Clark. Included in the roundup were William Z. Foster, party chairman and several times Communist can didate for President of the U. S.; Benjamin Davis, New York City councilman; John Gates, editor of the Daily Worker, and several members of the Communist na tional board. Almost simultaneously, charges that several hundred foreign agents have used the United Nations to cover subversive activities here were hurled by state department representatives at a senate commit tee hearing. Robert C. Alexander, assistant chief of the department’s visa com mission, declared that some of the agents were employees of the Unit ed Nations or came here in some j way related to the U. N. Such per- j sons are covered by the interna- : tional immunities act passed in 1945. I Surprised at the charges, United Nations officials insisted that it was up to the state department to back up the charges with facts. A check on nationalities of U. N. staff members showed that of a total of 2,944 there were 1,463 for eigners. From the “iron curtain” countries there were 108, but many were appointed before the change of governments put their homelands into the Russian sphere. That Man Again Washington D igest; Disturbed About World? Sun Spots May Hold Clue By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. WASHINGTON.—If you were disturbed over the mayhem and misunderstandings rampant in the month o f July, relax, there may be a scientific explanation. Sun spots. For the first time in 11 years, there is a maximum number of ultra violet rays about, released by eruptions on the surface of the sun-rays which may cause tempers to flare, emotions to get off bal ance, glands to be affected so that abnormal behaviour results. This ish t fantasy. Medical science has revealed the effects of over exposure to the ultra-violet ray. Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey is sworn in as director of selec tive service for the second time. Hershey, who will direct the na tion’s first peacetime draft, held the same post during World War II. STRAW: Stack of Money There are potential stacks of money in the stacks of straw which annually go to waste on U.S. farms. Although the paper industry offers a large potential m arket for the product, farm ers last year burned or did not use about 38 million tons of straw, according to department of agriculture estimates. Recent technical advances have made possible a large expansion of the m arket for straw. It has been found suitable for blending with wood pulp to make fine papers and also can be used in the manufacture of v a r i o u s insulating building- board products. Principal industrial use for straw at present is in mak ing corrugated strawboard, which is used as a liner in cartons and boxes. Some straw also is used for coarse grades of wrapping paper. Research by the department of agriculture laboratory at Peoria, Hl., indicates that straw pulp can be substituted for 25 to 40 per cent of the wood pulp now used in fine and specialty papers. The strawboard industry was es tablished in this country around 1900, when wheat was harvested with binders and threshed. Eltery wheat farm then had its straw stack and the straw could be baled. When the combine harvester came into general use, most of the straw stacks disappeared. Development of pickup balers, however, once again have made straw collection on the farm a practical operation. In normal times, it is estimated, the farm er may add 8 to 20 per cent to his cash income from wheat by collecting and selling the straw. WAR: Still Costs The costs of war continue long after the battles cease. A grateful Uncle Sam already has expended 8 billion, 223 million dollars to re turning veterans during the first four years of the G.I. bill of rights, Veterans’ administration reports. Accounting for that total were 14 million, 300 thousand “benefits." It is impossible to determine the exact number of World War II vet erans who shardd in this payment. Baukhage Sun spots may have been respond sible for the disturbances you and I read about on just one single day last July—on that day in Haiti a publisher w a s assassinated by an otherwise gentle young poet because the bard had lost some kind of a scholarship; a 33-year-old painter who lived near the otherwise pleasant and peaceful New England home of House Speaker Joe Martin at Attleboro, Mass., did a dance when he heard his wife was dead— it seems he had shot her in the head; here in Washington, a 22- year-old husband knocked his wife down, tried to stab her with a butcher knife, attacked an innocent passerby and started a fist fight with a policeman; a vitamin plant blew up, a prisoner became ill of benzedrine poisoning, a tanker in Chicago caught fire, Jimmy Roose velt feuded with the other members of the California delegation and the Russians kicked up the usual fuss. You and I probably had our own troubles—all perhaps due to nothing but the rash on Old Sol’s physiognomy. Scientists will tell you that sun spots were known by the Chinese before the telescope made them a comparatively familiar subject of astronomical concern. They are not uniform in size or shape and some times appear singly, sometimes in groups. A single spot may be large enough to take in our whole planet with room to spare.- Groups extend over areas that may include mil lions of square miles. Sun spots do not appear to have a definite duration. As a rule, they last but a short time, sometimes not more than a day. But one is recorded (in 1840-41) as having con tinued for 18 months. The number of sun spots varies greatly in a periodicity that is not strictly regular but that reaches an aver age of slightly over 11 years. And last month Dr. Roy Mar shall, director of Fels planetari um in Philadelphia, echoed an earlier suggestion made here in Washington. He said that sun spots could have a definite effect on the behaviour of people. And he reminded us that sun spots reached their last maximum frequency (before July, 1948) in 1937—when Hitler started his blitz. It was several years ago that no less an institution than the con servative and careful Smithsonian, the capital’s great scientific organ ization, speculated on the possibility that there might be a relationship between sun spots and wars, as well as sun spots and weather. Weather affects crops, crops affect economic conditions. Sun spots which release ultra violet rays which affect emo tions might, an official report to congress suggested, disturb nego tiations between individual leaders which might involve nations in war —that’s the reasoning, anyhow. Some may think it far-fetched. Shakespeare did when he said: “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.” Pojets are frequently right but not, perhaps, immune to the violence of the violet ray. (Witness the Haitian poet who shot the publisher.) At any rate, the Smithsonian listed considerable technical data showing that sun spot activity frequently had preceded wars. Some scientists say sun spots may have good effects, too— resulting in heavier foliage, better crops, more rains—as well as their evil tenden cies to disturb interpersonal rela tions, not to mention radio com munications. However, there is tittle we can do about it, for as far as we know the sun is like a leopard— it can’t (or won’t) change its spots.« « « O ne ‘Free’ Book Ia Not Wasted If you are one of the lucky farm ers who wrote your congressman promptly, asking for a copy of the Department of Agriculture 1948 Year Book, you have a treat in store for you. The first copies al ready have come from the govern ment printer but it will be some time before the bulk of the printing is ready for delivery. This year’s topic is a live one: GRASS. It deals with the general subject of grassland agriculture and there is something in it for virtually every farm er and, if there were enough books to go around, could be utilized by everybody who raises a lawn, not to mention people who run air ports or playgrounds, or any other enclosure of greensward. There is a growing interest in this subject. One member of the de partm ent of agriculture called it “a big swing to grass” on the part of farm ers over most of the country. Not just as feed but for many pur poses and functions. One farm er near here, for instance, said to a friend of mine recently that he had quit growing corn for silage. He uses grass entirely. In case you have forgotten, you have a chance to get a De partm ent of Agriculture Year B'ook because of a law passed in Abraham Lincoln’s time. Congress every year appropri ates a sum of money; the de partm ent prepares the book, (under the incumbent editorship of Alfred Stefferud) the govern ment printing office prints, binds and delivers 241,000 copies to members of congress. They pass them around as far as they go. That’s the law. This volume is probably one of the few “free” books which is not wasted for it goes almost ex clusively to people who want it and use it—in this order—(I) farm ers, (2) state agricultural colleges, (3) other colleges for G.I. courses, (4) some high schools. Later on I- shall give you an idea of the contents of the current volume which deals comprehensively with the subject of grass (including legumes and associated plants) be ginning with the history from colonial days, the place of grass in building soil and feeding livestock, specific information applying to 10 sections of the United States and pictures and descriptions of a 100 different grasses and legumes. * * * Guard Your Liberty— Know Dates at Least It’s almost impossible to believe that any American would not know the meaning of the approaching V-J day. But will Americans, 172 years from now, remember that September I m arked the official end of the bloodiest war in history! Perhaps this sounds absurd to you. It wouldn’t if you had read the results of one of a series of polls taken by the Washington Post. Just before July 4, the Post interviewers asked a number of individuals: “Fourth of July is almost here. Can you tell me why we celebrate it?” Eighty-five per cent of all persons asked had the right answer. Twelve per cent had no idea why the Fourth is a holiday, and 3 per cent thought it was the anniversary of Armistice day, the end of the Civil war, emancipation of the Negroes or some other event. One of those who had no idea at all on the subject was credited with a col lege education. Asked what the day meant to them, 39 per cent said, in various ways, that it meant national free dom; to 18 per cent it spelled per sonal freedom and liberty in gen eral; 11 per cent said it didn’t mean nothin’ nohow but a holiday. How many of us who admit that liberty—freedom—is our inherent right, know what freedom is? Few, unless they have lived in a country where one practices that quick, ap prehensive look to right and left, before he dares speak a word of criticism or comment. It’s a de pression gesture. I’ve seen it and shuddered. I have quoted W. E. Woodward before. In his “New American History,” he says: “Liberty implies responsibility and the vast majority of man kind has always hated responsi bility worse than death. So In all ages, men have run around, holding it out before tbem as one holds a golden vessel, offer ing it to anyone who possesses enough vulgar enterprise to take it away from them.” This “vulgar enterprise” is afoot today, snatching liberty, right and left and tossing it into a totalitarian limbo of the things mankind really loves—loves but does not always cherish except in memory. One might paraphrase an ancient proverb: “A fool and his liberty are soon parted.” Folly is not in curable. It can be exchanged for wisdom. Perhaps some of the "realists” who scorn such abstract subjects as political science and history would do well to encourage study of our liberty, how we came by it and why it is worth keeping.

SBiflUND CAOSON fnas- War Bases in England I ) ECAUSE of the tense Berlin situation, what amounts to re vival of wartime American air 'bases will b e' set up in England almost immediately. Two groups of B-29s of about 30 planes each are re-establishing {active American bases In England. {They will be under the command of Gen. Curtis Le May, who also ,commanded the wartime operation I of B-29s from the mid-Pacific {against Japan. Air force officials, while with holding comment, admitted that the two groups of B-29s operat ing from England will take no part in ferrying food to Berlin. T heir fu nction will be to “growl.” It has been an open secret for !some time that in case of a show down with Russia, American air bases would be set up in England. In fact, this was discussed with the British government through diplo m atic channels some months ago, and it was agreed that England would make bases available to the United States in case of a European crisis. Sending the two groups of B-29s is interpreted as the first step to establish bases which could be used hi case the United States had to withdraw other air bases from Ger m an soil. The Russian blockade has not been able to keep the stork out of the American sector in Ber lin. In fact, the stork has an especially easy time there, for hospital charges, including pre natal care, are only $15. . . . One of the hardships suffered by blockaded Americans in Berlin is tearfully told in the official U.S. bulletin: “Owing to gasoline rationing, house delivery of Coca Cola will be temporarily sus pended.” Showdown in Berlin Ire against Russia is so tense In Berlin that certain high-placed U.S. officials (civilians) have been urg ing Gen. Lucius Clay to break the Soviet blockade by force. They want him to arm a food train in the American zone of Ger many and send it speeding through the Russian zone to Berlin with U.S. troops in armored cars riding just behind the engine ready to shoot if the Russians resist. These U.S. officials go so far as to plan counter measures in case the Russians sabotage the rail line. They propose that a corps of U.S. army engineers be sent along to repair any tom-up rails, also to repair the River Elbe bridge if it is blown up by the Russians. Some officials, quite close to Clay, claim that Russia is not ready for war and would try to “localize” any trouble with the United States. There might be some clashes between U.S. and Red army troops around Ber lin, they advise, bnt Russia would not let them spread to the rest of Europe. She would back down first. General Clay, however, doesn’t agree. So far he has rejected this explosive advice. He says that if an incident took place, you never can control men’s passions. Trouble might spread whether M o sco w wanted it or not. Privately, Clay has described such measures as "unwise and dangerous,” likely to “commit us to war.” Instead General Clay favors eco nomic sanctions, before making a' move which would convert a cold war into a shooting war. For in-; stance. Clay thinks that we have, been too lenient with the Russians regarding shipping and air facili-. ties, that we should crack down on the Russians economically. This would hurt, but not risk war.' In brief, here is one historic case where a soldier is reluctant to use force though civilians urge U- • * • McCarthy’s Crusade A one-man crusade to liberate the millions of war prisoners still held as slave laborers in Russia, France and B r i ta i n , has been launched by Wisconsin’s Republican Sen. Joe McCarthy. The ex-marine officer, who flew as a tail gunner against the same men he now hopes to set free, is bringing a lot of political pressure to back up his humanitarian appeaL McCarthy c a n n o t speak out against Russia for holding German and Jap prisoners in forced labor, as long as France and Britain are guilty of the same tactics. The plight of these prisoners, still in bondage three years after the shooting has stopped, is described in Red Cross re ports to McCarthy. It is esti mated that nearly five million war prisoners are stiff held by the victors, much as slaves were brought back by the con querors of the dark ages. Most of" these are working off reparations inside the Soviet union.' How many have died from exhaus tion, overwork, undernourishment and bitter cold is impossible to say.' Storage of Surplus Fowl Is Profitable Poultry Held in Locker For Sale at Price Peak To assure that poultry of various classifications is properly held in locker plants or freezers, it is advis able that the fowl be wrapped in water-proof, moisture-proof paper. Latest scientific methods call for enclosing the fowl in a strong mesh fabric, known as stockinet, which keeps the prepared locker paper tightly pressed around the chicken, thus eliminating all air pockets in side the wrapping and preventing the paper from becoming loose at any time. Poultrymen and farmers with a surplus of poultry have found it I profitable to place some of the birds, as well as game fowl, in storage for their own consumption as well as for sale to local markets when prices become higher. Considerable demand has been found for ducks, geese and turkeys as well as for chickens. During the past few years some poultry raisers have found an ex cellent market for smoked fowl and a most satisfactory market price. Only quality fowls should be so stored and handled, and then only when proper wrapping material is utilized and proper storage facilities are available. Modern Agronomists Debunk Copybook Line “Hay is dried grass.” That line in variably appeared in copybooks handed out to pupils in old-time writing classes, but agronomists at Ohio State university claim the c o p y b o o k publishers apparently knew considerably more about teaching pupils to write than they did about haymaking. Some dried grass is excellent live stock feed but other cured grass is just fair quality bedding, agrono mists insist. The best time for cutting hay is when plants have made almost their greatest growth in weight but still contain a high percentage of protein. For red clover, the recommended cutting time is when the plants are in the half bloom stage. The most hay of high quality will be hauled from the alfalfa field if cutting is started before the half bloom period. Renovated Tractor This steel shod tractor was in good operating condition, so the farmer decided to adapt it for rub ber tires. The tires, tubes and rims cost $119.

DEVOTIONAL READING: Jobs 6:1-14. Andrew, The Man Who Brought Others Lesson for August 15,1948 ill Si M EET Andrew, brother of Simon Peter, fisherman of Galilee. Follow his career and you will ac count him one of the truly great men of the ages, chiefly because he was ever alert to help men on to God. He was always introduc ing his friends to Jesus. There a re m any passages of scripture cited for this study, with the devotional reading in Luke and the Golden Text from Dr. Newton John 1:42: “ He b ro u g h t him to Jesus.”... WHAT ANDREW TOLD HIS FRIENDS WSEN Andrew m et Jesus, and discovered in him the Saviotu1 of men, he went and found his brother, Simon, and said unto him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ,” John 1:41. What do we tell our friends? Do we not delight to tell our friends what we have found to be good? This was the mission of Andrew— teling his friends about Jesus, for he had found in Jesus that which was good. John the Baptist had told Andrew about Jesus, and he was determined that he would tell ev eryone who would listen to this good news.... HOW ANDREW KNEW ABOUT JESUS ANDREW got his impressions of Jesus firsthand. When he heard John the Baptist say, “Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world,” he went on to in quire about Jesus, and Jesus bade him and John spend the day with him. They did, from 10 o’clock in the morning until late afternoon. That was enough. Andrew knew from that day about Jesus. He was now ready to tell others what he knew about Jesus. Do we Imow Jesus well enough to tell others about him? If a fisher man coifid tell the story effectively, cannot everyone? But let us re member this, no man can introduce his friend to Jesus until he himself knows Jesus. t * * THE MAN WHO BROUGHT OTHERS LET’S look for a moment at some of the people Andrew brought to Jesus. We begin, of course, with Simon, his brother. Here, I think, is the highest test of his ability to tell others about Jesus—bringing his own brother. It is often easier to tell strangers about Jesus than those of our own family. And now we see Andrew yonder in the multitude, finding the lad with the loaves and fishes, and bringing him to Jesus. That is the test of seeing the right person at the right time. And again this is the acid test of introducing people to Jesus. Again, we see Andrew sensing the fact that some young Greeks had come a long way to see Jesus. He knew how to help them. In this incident we see the final example of winning people to Jesus—cultured Greeks, who were familiar, we may assume, with the current thought of the world. But this simple fish erman of Galilee knew hov( to ap proach them, how to gain their attention, how to bring them to Jesus. * * * THEX WAIT FOR THE ANDREWS TODAY THE world waits for some An drew today. I fully believe that most people could be won to Christ if only there were enough Andrews. Rarely have I had a person to repel me when I faithfully followed the leading of the Holy Spirit to speak to such person about Jesus. Andrew did not rely upon his own resources. He went in the might of the Lord. He knew what Jesus had done for him. He yearned to see all men enjoy their blessing. He was a simple messenger—a voice. And God gave him words—words that fell like good seed into fertile soil. So m ay we today introduce our friends to Jesus. Only let us remember this—we m ust first know him! fCopyright by the TnteracrtfonaJ Council ol Religious Educatfon on behalf of 40 Protestant denominations.

H. 10 UI + A t , A Doodle that became famous Some important things “just happen!” For example, long ago a Southern Rail- way man had a free moment, a pencil, and a piece of paper. His wandering pencil developed our symbol, “The Southern Serves the South.” To Southerners it’s the sign of an efficient, econom ical transportation system . . . whose 8,000 miles of lines are the sinews and muscles of our fast-growing Southland, To our 45,000 employees it’s the sign of a good place to work . . . where a man can take pride in the job he’s doing. To Southern businessmen it’s the sign of a steady customer with a giant shopping list... who buys often. To communities all over the South it’s the sign of .a friendly railway . . . a neighbor, a taxpayer and a “good citizen.” From its casual birth on a scrap of paper, this “doodle” has grown to mean many things to many people . . . all across America. £.

Xke- FICTION * Covnev By LOUIS MALLEN NO TWO ALIKE 1IXrH AT puzzled Paul most was “ V what made girls vulnerable and moon-eyed whenever his twin brother, Peter, was about. There was no denying it, girls usually fell for Peter’s line. He was smooth. Paul had seen it happen too many times. Fear gripped his heart as he thought it was about to happen again—tonight—this tim e to “too nice a girl." Pensively, Paul tugged at the chair under him and moved closer to the table in the SI Zebra club. He passed his hand fondly and carressihgly over the beaver jacket on the chair beside him. This was Ann—a part of Ann—the delicately Ann had said: “You don’t mind, do you, Paul?” Of course he did! But he couldn’t let Ann know, just then. “This is some brother you have.” She smiled into Peter’s face as they glided away. Some brother, is right! Paul thought. Probably laying it on again. Ann seemed to enjoy it. Paul didn’t! Ann was his girl! Ann fitted into Paul’s plans for that part of life he desired. A home. A charming wife. His heart melted every time he dared to think of it. He hadn’t yet found the cour age to tell her. Gracious, kind, beautiful Ann. But he had told her all about himself, his early boy- Thank goodness this was the last dance. He tried to put the fear from his mind. Paul feared the worst. perfumed fragrance of the jacket pierced his troubled mind. Baffled and driven, he came to a decision. He resolved, after tonight, to ape and copy his twin brother’s every move and loquacious banter. He’d do it and see how far that would get him—for a change. Paul’s eyes searched the dance floor for Peter and Ann. They had danced together for the fourth con secutive time. Thank goodness this was to be the last dance, they had agreed to leave upon its completion. FOOLISH NOTIONS With everything you have to wor ry about, including what you’re go ing to do this Saturday night—how do you ever have time to dream up th ese am azing ideas? TOOTH SAVER— Remember that ar ticle in a national magazine about the bad effects of open ing your bobby pins with your teeth? Well, one of our Hi-Style scouts reports that she is now opening her bobby pins on a wire which she nailed tautly from one side of a wooden box to the other. She keeps her bobby pins in the box and opens them on the wire as she lifts them out. She says it’s much easier to get a new piece of wire than it is to get a new set of teeth. She has something there! ALL OVER THE M AP-Because so many of you collect pen pals just as you collect photos of Robert Mitchum and telephone calls—you’ll be interested in an entirely new system of keeping your correspond ence in order. Pin up a large map of the United States and stick pins in each city where you have a pen pal. Red topped pins means that your pen pal owes you a letter; black means vice-versa. It’s a good re minder and it looks so official! LIVELY DECORATIONS—Do you want a really different table center piece for your next party? Well, fill a bowl with a quart of water, drop in one teaspoon full of citric acid and one teaspoon full of baking soda. Now—drop in 18 moth balls and, within a few moments, the balls will start jumping up and down and will continue to perform for about an hour. When they show signs of tir ing, just revive them with another dose of the acid. Let us know how it works. ANHLE TURNS—A trick for your old ballet slippers is to sew ribbon loops at the backs to hold any rib bons or bracelets you might wear as anklets. For evening, try rhine stone or gold ribbons. We’ve already warned you that the ankle strap shoe is the sm artest thing on two feet for summer, haven’t we? BEAUTY AND THE BIB—You wind the chains ’round and ’round your necks to Mil in a bib effect over your sweater and blouses. If you’re wearing a dickey, just wear the Peter Pan collar over the chain. hood, he, the younger of twins, he had even told her about Peter. He wasn’t afraid of Peter then, with two thousand miles between them. They’d probably be married before Peter would meet her. Paul was afraid of Peter now. Breezy, garrulous Peter. Back home, Paul had always been re ferred to as the quiet one, when the twins were the subject of con versation. The trouble with himself, Paul thought, was that he had always given up too easily to Peter, from childhood up. Peter always did get the best toys, the best bike, the best clothes, the best of everything. Ann was something Paul wanted more than anything else in his life. She represented the best of every thing to him. Determination filled his lean, square-jawed face. He WAS the quiet one, up until to night. Long live the new Paul! It would not be easy, Paul re minded himself. Peter had years of experience along these lines. He regarded life about him with hard ened indifference, and when Paul sought to reason with him, Peter’s face would turn quite blank, his eyes evasive. He never argued, never changed. He’d find love, cul tivate it to crop, taste of it, and leave it. Now, with the thought of losing Ann racing through his nervous system, Paid vowed his scruples were to undergo a change. Earlier in the evening Peter was in Paul’s apartm ent talking on the phone. “Peter!” Paul said. “What are you doing in New York . . .? How did you get in the apartm ent?" “Quiet, young un,” Peter had said. He placed his hand over the mouthpiece of the phone. "Can’t you see I’m busy?” “Sorry.” “Say, who’s Ann?” Peter whis pered. “ANN!” Paul had almost shouted. “Give me that phone. Quick. Be fore you wreck my life!” Yes, Ann knew it was his brother . . . Peter told her after a few minutes of conversation . . . their voices sounded so much alike . . . quite a kidder . . . she’d like to meet him. Why not bring him along tonight, on their date? . . . it would be nice . . . he’d probably be lonesome . . . she had said. Lonesome? What a thought to associate with Peter. New York would be just an interlude for him. ". . . the superintendent let me in. You’re looking great, Paul. The phone rang so I answered it. All right? Good. Transferred to Mas sachusetts. You’ll be seein.’ more of me now. Great town, Boston. Steeped in tradition. Girls conge nial, too. Wouldn’t exactly com pare with the girls in Texas. But all right. Great.” In the apartm ent Paul wasn’t so sure he was doing the right thing taking Peter out on this date, he felt uneasy—remembering Peter’s technique. He had executed a feeler: “How about making it stag tonight?” “Nothing doing,” Peter had said. “Besides, you’ve already made the date.” True, the date was made and Ann did want to meet Peter. Would she be less susceptible to Peter’s soft impeachment? Thank goodness this was the last dance. Paul feared the worst. He tried to put the fear from his mind. They were coming back to the table now, both of them laughing, hand- in-hand. Paul tried to tell himself he was being foolish and torturing the depths of his heart with pain that never really should be there. The obsession stayed with him as they reached the street and there took on more agitation. Peter said: “Well, I’ll leave you two alone now. The night is still young for me. Sea you later in the apartment, PauL Good night, Ann.” “Good night, Peter,” Ann said, “Call me before you go away.” TS THIS IT? Paul wondered. Is this the beginning to another brok en heart? Theyw atchedPetervanish down the dim lit street. He turned at the next corner and waved. In the next instant he was gohe and with him a still, hushed silence came over the empty street. The laughter, the gayety, the radiance left Ann’s face. Paul prepared himself bravely for what was to come. Ann was talking: "Peter is fun.” Fun? Was that how lasting love was defined? Had fun taken the place of love built on solid, deep- rooted admiration? The love, the deepest affection that normally leads to m arriage? Peter was hot ready for that. Someone was bound to be hurt, cruelly; he’d not allow it to happen to Ann. He turned to her, words of protest rushing to his lips—then suddenly heard her say: “. . . but of the twins, I like you best, Paul.” Paul glowed. Ann somehow un derstood—understood that life with Peter, for any girl, would end so— a wave of the hand. His heart beat ing wildly, there on the walk, Paul took Ann into his arms, held her close and vowed—to be himself for the rest of his life.

Freeze in Garden Flavor In Moistureproof Cartons To keep the most “garden good ness" in fruits and vegetables that are to be frozen, package them carefully. This point is stressed by Miss Frances 0. Van Duyne, as sistant professor of foods, Univer- sity of SIinois college of agricul ture. Choose containers that can be sealed tightly and .won’t leak. Frozen foods are better when packaged in containers that are moisture-proof and vapor-proof, Miss Van Duyne explains. Other wise the foods dry out and lose palatability. Cartons come in a variety of types and shapes. Rectangular or square cartons may have inner linings or have a waxed plastic finish; some are made for use with cellophane bags. Most of these are sealable with heat—by pressing to gether edges of covering material with an electric iron or a hand iron. The cartons are generally easy to handle and store. Waxed cups are convenient, but the seal on the set-in lid isn’t moisture- or vapor-proof. Before sealing a filled carton or bag, wipe inside edges with a clean cloth to remove moisture that would prevent a tight seal. Also press out all possible air from top of bag, then heat-seal tightly. Or you may like the pressure tapes for sealing; they have an adhesive substance on one side so that they can be stuck on edges of bags and cartons.

That Bogota Affair The bloody uprising which almost wrecked the Inter-American Confer ence at Bogota recently was headlined in the American press. Most observ ers thought it was just another South American political upheaval. Yet, when the smoke of pillaging, the looting, and the dynamiting had ceased, it was evi dent that this rebellion had something different. The new ingredient was the amazing precision of timing and the speed with which the events moved. When American newspaper men who were in Bogota had time to think about it, they discovered that this “revolu tion” was pulled off with the same practiced techniques that European Communists have been known to use. It was also discovered, after the haze cleared, that our own State Depart ment, including our Bogota foreign of fice, had received warnings out of Chile that something was afoot. Yet, nothing prevented the uprising. “Mass” Action First a liberal party leader was shot down on the street under circumstances that indicate the Communitsts may have killed one of their own, just to get things started. The assassin was stomped to death and mutilated so that Identification was impossible. After that, just like clock-work, mobs in widely scattered areas got busy. They grabbed radio stations and asked the “masses” to go forward to the attack. The Communists then really took to their soap-boxes. They openly identi fied themselves as Communists and called for comrades to raid any place that might have weapons. Other mobs attacked public buildings, including the famed Capitol where the Inter-Ameri can Conference was being held. Yet another mob dragged the assassin’s corpse to the Colombian president’s mansion, where it was flung across the doorstep for the rest of the afternoon. Lawless Fanaticism What happened to the police? They had disappeared. Nor did the army show up. The mob, therefore, went about freely burning automobiles and wrecking buildings. Though the army ■was said to be critically short of gaso line, yet plenty was available for the gangs. Plenty of dynamite also. While these things were happening in Bo gota, key centers elsewhere were being burned and pillaged in the same man ner. Why am I recounting all this? I want to demonstrate that Communism is not a law-abiding political party. It is a lawless fanaticism. We have had a demonstration right here in this hemisphere which shows the type of terrorism and force Communists ase to gain political power. What Com munists have done in .Russia and in European riots and uprisings, they ■will do again wherever they can, in whatever countries they find sleeping on the job. America must not be lulled to sleep by the sweet words of misguided ideal ists, who are being used by revolution ists the world over. There are few real Communists in America. There are not many Americans that desire to join lawless mobs. But Communists will stop at nothing which will cause strife and division among our people. We must know the methods of Commun ists, for if we do not anticipate the harm that even a few of them can do, we stand to lose what is America. j Quality Chicks Needed j To Offset Feed Costs j 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 SO per cent in normal times.

C. R4 We peed ladies and gentlemen In all walks of life. We need them as husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, sons aud daughters. We need them as husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, sons and daughters We need ladies and gentlemen in our homes, churches, schaols, shops, factories, mills and offices. We need them on our farms. We need them as leaders and instructors. We need them in nur .various places of business, In fact we need them everywhere. Wbat Is the real meaning of lady? No doubt many women are called ladies who are net. One who is immtral. wioked and of bad character is not a lady. One who upholds and .-t'uds for that which is wicked and mean is not a lady. I think tbs best definition of a lady, or one of the best definition, is given by Webster, and we quote: A woman of refined or gentle manners.” We are adding our de finition by saying also that a lady is one of noble, spotless character. This ought to characterize every woman of earth, but it doesn’t. Wealth, education, poiition, nor even popularity and fame, doesn’t make one a lady. Yes, a clean, godly, noble lise makes one a lady. This Is within the reach of all. Wbat is the real meaning of gen tleman? Let Webster answer this also. He says a gentleman is "a man well born; one of a good fami ly; one nf gentle or refined man ners; a well-bred man.” Even if a man is not well born be can cer tainly live so he is a eemleman. Therefore an immoral man, or pro fane man, or criminal, or liar, or rogue, or rascal, or drunkaid. or ane who curses his home, his com munity, his country, is not a gen tleman. He lacks those wonderful and stiblime traits and characteris tics, qualities and principals which made a real gentleman. It means more ro to be a lady or gentleman than most folks realize. O how we need ladies and gentle men eeerywhere today! If we bad Christian ladles and gentlemen everywhere we wouldn’t see our nation so wicked. It Is better to be a Iadv or gentleman than to be rich, learned, popular and famous. Fameapart from God’s approval, and apart from that of which makes men real gentlemen and women real ladies, is but empty, light and vain. However, God has made it possible for everybody to reach the high peak of Christian ladies and gentlemen. This should be the desire of all. Newspapers Best Louis M. Schneider in his ‘Trade Winds” financial column reports that “manufacturers agree that newspapers offer the best me dium for advertising purpose. Funds being split 50 per cent for newspapers, 25 per cent for radio and 25 per cent for mail, display and magazine.” That’s something we’ve known all our lives, and at this time newspaper space is a better bar- gain than ever. Reason is that circulation generally is up while space rates have advanced but little since prewar, many publish' ers depending on increased vol ume to absorb rising costs. Now more than ever, smart ad vertising pays its own way. Statesville Dai y.

Eut it could jtlnp as high as the Empire State building.” "Well, go on,” said a cowhand. “It was a stuffed cat,” said the New* Yorker triumphantly. The boys thought that over, and then the same cowhand growled: “Sure, but you said it could jump as high as the Empire State building.” "If you boys would just think a moment,” the New Yorker replied, “you’d know the Kmpire State build ing can’t jump.” CUCIiOO IN RKVERSE . Husband: “When anything goes Wrong around our house, I just get ibusy and fix it.” ; Wife: “Yeah? Since you fixed the (clock, the cuckoo backs out and asks: i'What time is it’?” Telephone Ethics I A telephone operator was at one end ,of the wire and a little girl, who had !answered her ring, at the other. The ^operator, obeying one of the company’s ,rules, was trying to get the child to jcall an older person. She began, “Is !your mama there?” "Is your big sister there ?” “No, there’s no one here but grand- jma and me and the cat. Grandma can’t (hear and the cat can’t talk.” COMMITTEE OF WELCOME Will Rogers, who was proud of having American Indians for an cestors, cracked one of his best jokes at the expense of the Daugh ters of the American Revolution. “I can’t claim my folks was Mayflower descendants,” he told the women, “but I recollect they was there to meet the boat.” Too Much for Him! In the miUmery shop the gushing saleswoman said: “That hat you have on now is a darling. Really, it makes you look 10 years younger.” “Then I don’t want it,” replied the middle-aged customer. “I can’t afford to put on 10 years every time I take oS my hat.” Holding Out "To what do you attribute your long life?” the newspaper reporter asked the centenarian. “I don’t rightly know yet,” replied the old-timer, pulling lazily on bis pipe. ‘T m still dickering with two breakfast-food companies.” RAGE IN HEAVEN Funeral services were being conduct ed for a woman who had been thor oughly disliked in her rural community. With a violent explosive disposition she henpecked her husband, drove her children mercilessly and quarreled with her neighbors. Kven the animals on 'her place wore a hunted look. The day was sultry and as the serv ice ended a sti-rm broke furiously. There was a blinding flash followed by a terrific clap of thunder. "Wall, she’s GOT there!” a mourner said. Egg Records Now Crive Hen Good Raisons for Crowing Tf the oacklv ot a hen- or puiiet— is her advertisement that she has laid an egg. the poultry yards of America are' noisier places than they used to be. Tn the ten years from 1936 to 1946 the average egg production of layers In Ihe flocks increased from 12] eggs a year to 155. kays the U S. department of agriculture. This is an Increase of more than 28 per cent. The National Poultry Improvement plan got under way on a national scale in 1936. and is to be credited with a large share In the improvement which the egg production records reveal, say the bureau of animal industry. In 1936 there were 1,017 hatcheries operating undei the NPTP. In 1947 the number was 4,498. The egg capacity of the hatcheries under the NPIP was 38 million In 1936 and 326 milion in 1946, or nearly two-thirds of the total hatnh- ery capacity. A notable result ol operations under the I1IPIP has beer, a 50 per cent de« dine In the incidence of puUodum di sease reactors—from S.fifi per opnt 'n 1936 to 1.84 in 1916. Over the years, says Paul B. ttum* bro of the bureau of animal industry, the poultry population of the TTnited States has been greatly improved through the efforts ot relatively JVw specialized breeders and the irmlt.ipH* cation of efficient strains by ha*ehp»*v- meiu There are 347 breeders entered In the highest stage of quality breed ing under the NPIP, known as "Record of Performance.” These brc sders have 471 flocks and are trapnestlng about 220,000 birds. llThese flocks." says Zumbro, “furnish a major portion of the stock used for hatchery flock im provement work. The work of the pedi gree breeders has greatly enhanced the egg production qualities of our poultry population.” Good Artificial Lighting May Save Eyes, Accidents Good lighting in the home promotes safety; Inadequate illumination may contribute to accidents on stairs, In working spaces, or elsewhere. Poor lighting may permanently Injure the eyes, especially the eyes of children. It has been found that the majority of the homes In this country are not pro vided with adequate artificial lighting. Use of the eyes under poor conditions of lighting leads to eye fatigue, which can lead to eye strain and permanent Injury to the eyes. Essentials of good lighting consiBt of a sufficient Intensity of illumination, a suitable distribution of the light, and freedom from glare. A sufficient Inten sity of illumination will be provided in the case of electric lighting by using the proper size and number of lamps. A proper distribution of the light will be determined by the location of the lamps and the reflecting character of walls and ceiling. To avoid glare bare lamps of high Intensity should not be used nor should lamp filaments be exposed In the di rect field of vision. The best way to ob viate glare is to provide lamps with suitable diffusing shades. Glare is sometimes cause by use Of glossy pa per, polished desk tops, and similar re flecting surfaces. Children should be cautioned against working where di rect reflections are thrown into the eye. Illinois Commnnist Colony One hundred years ago a communist colony, known as Bishop Hill, was In full swing, in Henry country, ISO miles southwest of Chicago. Here one thou sand people, all from Sweden, lived In brotherly amnity and ate three times a day In a great communal dining hall. The entire plant was believed to be worth one million dollars. There were 10,857 acres of rich Illinois land. The residents of the colony soon became fa mous for their livestock. They made wagons for the neighboring farmers and their grist mill, like their earlier hand mills which kept them from starving, ran most of the time. During the Civil war Bishop Hill raised a com pany of men, and In 1862, while its soIdierB were still away, all Bishop Hill property was carefully inventoried and divided, and the community ceas ed to exist. Each man received one share, each woman and child a frac tion. Africa’s Dreaded Tsetse Fly Sleeping sickness is a dread disease caused by the tsetse fly. This sickness has made tens of thousands of miles in Africa almost uninhabitable for both men and livestock. The fly which car ries the Infection is found In scattered areas throughout west and central Af rica. The tsetse fly resembles our com mon horsefly to some extent. It makes its home mainly In dense vegetation bordering river banks, and is hidden so deeply in the foliage that an airplane spraying DDT is of little value In rid ding the country of the pest. Sleep ing sickness starts with fever and headaches. Paralysis often results If it Is left untreated, followed by death within a few months or years. HCNCd WAS BIGHT "I had a hunch on the races to day. I got up at 7 o’clock and found $7 in my pocket. There were seven of us at lunch and there were seven horses in the seventh race.

"Yes, dear.” "No wonder they put him out!” Balsa of Ecuador Fast Grower Of all Ecuador's treeB, perhaps mors has been written about balsa than any other. Balsa trees are easily disting uishable by their large, broad leaves, about a foot long. Among the most ra pidly growing trees known, they spring up like weeds arid reach lumber size In less than 10 years. The first year a seedling wUl elongate more quickly than a cam plant and will reach a greater height Maximum size is about 100 feet in height and four feet In trunk diameter. Balsa has large brownish-green, succulent flowers, about eight inches In length. New Uses for Corn Future industrial uses of corn and its by-products are almost limitless. The use of stalks and leaves as en silage, packing materials, paper and paper board, and the use of cobs as a source of furfural which is used for various syntheses and as a selective solvent in petroleum refin ing are but a few uses. Another use is for burnishing metals, for sweep ing compounds and for light weight ceramics. The analogy of starch now being in the same relative raw materia] position as petroleum was 20 years ago gives to com a bright and rosy future. Apple Merchandising Law Maryland apple growers will pay a special tax on apples in view of a law passed by the state legislature with approval of the growers. The first 500 bushels sold by any grower are exempt from the tax so growers selling less than 500 bushels pay no tax. On sales of all apples, over 500 bushels, there is a tax of one cent per bushel. One-half of the tax must be paid each six months. Monies re ceived are used by the Maryland State Apple commission to publicize apples and promote their sales. Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia have similar laws. Uncle Sam Says This month Americans celebrate In dependence.

I gra dually steer the conversations to social security for I am interested in finding out just how much thev know about their social security program. Sometimes, I am disap pointed. Persons know that thev are paying a social contribution each pay dav, but when I pin them down as to just wbat this whole program means to thatn, some are quite vagua. Most of these to whom I have talked know that social security has something to do with old-age, but tbey do not bave any well-defined ideas bow. Some think thay can get old-age and survivors iosurance only if they are in nead or if tbey don’t own any property. Even though they bave paid money into the social security fund, they still think of it as charity. They don't undarstand that this is an insur ance program; that if a retired worker meets certain conditions, be can collect monthly benefits as long as be lives as a matter of right— because be has paid for it. Many seem to know'something a- bout the old-age part of old age and survivors insurance, but the majority do not know much abou! the survfvors’ part of this insur- ance.

C. ’WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS- Congress Fights Troman Proposals; High Crop Goals Set, Wheat Cat; Atomic Tests Assure New Power Hands in Pockets tffc Face to face with the congress he had labeled “worst, save one," In history, President Truman was greeted by one of the coolest congressional receptions ever ac corded a chief executive when he appeared before the special ses sion. Only polite applause came occasionally from the galleries and from administration follow ers ; Repnblicans kept their hands in their pockets. By Bill Schoentgen, W NU Stafi W riter- {EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed In these colnmns, they are those of Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) CONGRESS: F e u d in ’ a n d F ig h tin ’ Bitter recriminations resounded as the fight between President Tru man and the GOP-controlled con gress moved into a new round with convening of the extra session of the 80th congress. In a dynamite-laden atmosphere, the President appeared before a joint session of the congress which he had labeled "one of the worst in history” to demand a sweeping anti-inflation economic program. The reception for both the Presi dent and his program was cool as Republicans launched their wreck- ing-crew tactics. Defiant GOP leaders charged Mr. Truman with playing politics and prepared to play politics of their own. The net result, it appeared, would be a short special session. Initial step in the GOP’s pro gram of obstruction was a decision that the extra session should con sider only those recommendations made by Mr. Truman which could “pass a test.” This test, established by the majority conference, set the qualifications for congressional ac tion as follows: Proposed legislation must be • emergency in character. It must contain a problem of national importance. It must be a program which can be processed properly with in the time available to an emergency session. This available time for process ing would be no longer than a period of congress which would not “interfere with the proper conduct” of the autumn campaigns. No appropriation bills were to be considered, nor would any consid eration be given to confirmation of nominations which might be sent to the senate by the President. Over aU hung the threat of a Dixie Democrats’ filibuster against the anti-poll tax bill, which would widen the rift between Mr. Truman and the southern wing of his party. There were no surprises in the President’s recommended legis lative package, He proposed a re- imposition of the excess profits tax, limited restoration of price con trols, even more limited wage con trols and enactment of the Taft- Ellender-Wagner housing bill. WHEAT: G o a l C u t As clogged elevators and en forced embargoes once again m ark the nation’s harvest of another bumper wheat crop, the department of agriculture recommends a cut of 8 per cent in wheat acreage in its preliminary recommendations for the 1949 crop year. Although continued high produc tion of other m ajor grain commodi ties is recommended, a slight de crease is suggested for wheat acre age, which has increased sharply in recent years in response to war and relief needs. Looking forward in a move to con serve the country’s soil resources, the department points out that "a better balance between soil-conserv ing and soil-depleting crops will actually assure higher productivity over a longer period of years.” Farm ers also are urged to pro vide for sufficient summer fallow and, in marginal areas, to plant grass seed on land which is not suitable for sustained production of crops. Also considered in arriving at the wheat goal were this year’s in creased carry-over, prospects that the 1948 crop will be second largest in history and possibility of small er demand because of improved crops in importing countries. The department recommended wheat plantings for 1949 of 71.5 million acres which, with an av erage yield of 15 bushels, an acre, would mean production of nearly 1.1 billion bushels. July estimate of 1948 wheat production was 1,- 241,751,000 bushels. In setting another farm goal, the department recommended a beef cattle breeding herd of 15.5 million cows next January I, a decrease of about 500,000 head. Better manage ment, improved feeding practices and thorough culling, it was sug gested, will “put the cattle indus try in better position to supply the meat requirements of the increased population.” The recommendations are sub mitted to state agricultural councils for consideration. State goals and final national goals are determined on the basis of state review and recommendations. A-BOMBS: New Force The veil of secrecy which has shrouded most of the post-war atomic energy experiments was lifted, a tiny bit at least, for the American public ih the fourth semi annual report of the atomic energy commission and an acompanying statement by President Truman. Justifying the secrecy, the Presi dent contended that until controls are established on the international level to prevent use of atomic energy for military purposes “we cannot, as a nation, afford to dis close these secrets which make this new force the most deadly form of military weapon.” Witii that statement, the American peo ple, anxiously eyeing war clouds on the horizon, are inclined to agree. Some measure of reassurance was contained in both reports, stress ing the fact that the nation has gained -new power in atomic wea pons. Both disclosed that the secret tests of new type bombs at the proving grounds on Eniwetok island early this year were highly successful. The commission’s report, the fourth semi-annual summary to congress as provided by law, indi cated there were three bombs used at Eniwetok in the spring project known as “Operation Sandstone.” Principal study was “on the gen eration of nuclear explosion itself” rather than “on the effects of the nuclear explosion,” as was the case in the earlier Bikini tests. The report stressed develop ments of atomic energy research in medicine, agriculture, metallurgy, other sciences and industry. Radio active materials have been given 229 institutions and commercial agencies for experimentation. LIVING COSTS: Hit Peak They changed the name—from cost of living index to consumers price index—but they still can’t change the trend—upward and ever upward. In fact, the index struck an all- time high on Jtme 15, with food prices reaching record-shattered lev els, the bureau of labor statistics reports. The index, which represents re tail prices of goods and services bought by moderate income fam ilies in large cities, registered 171.7 per cent of the 1935-39 av erage. Further increases are inevitable, too, for wholesale prices hit an all- time high during the week ended July 17 and it takes about a month for their impact to be recorded in retail prices. The new consumers price index is 9.3 per cent higher than a year ago; 28.8 per cent above June, 1946, when price controls generally were abandoned, and 74.1 per cent above the August, 1939, level. On V-J Day in 1945 the same index was 129.3 per cent of the 1935-39 average. PRECARIOUS PERCH Americans Seek Economic Security Increasingly aware of the need for economic security for them selves and their families, Amer icans will expend approximately 15 billion dollars for that purpose in 1948, the .Research Council for Economic Security estimates. The estimate covers payments made under private or govern ment organized plans to meet in security arising from death, old age, accident, sickness, disability, unemployment and other conditions. N o r th e a s te r n , middlewestern, and Pacific coast states have the largest measure of protection, both in total amounts and in per capita payments, the study discloses. DRAFTEES; Old Pals In an endeavor to make the up coming draftee as happy as a khaki- colored lark, the arm y is removing its “petty annoyances” as it com pletes plans to process men in ducted under the first peacetime draft in history. On orders of Gen. Omar Bradley, chief of staff, to remove “the petty annoyances that sent many World War II veterans away hating the army,” training officers prepared to greet the recruit like an old friend of the family. Only the finest officers and non- coms will handle the draftee, train ing officers promised. The recruit will even be given a $5 advance on his $75 a month pay the first day in camp so he won’t be broke. He won’t even have to wait to “tell it to the chaplain,” as he’ll be taken to the chaplain during his orienta tion days and urged “to let his hair down.” AU of this wiU take place at eight m ajor training centers which have been set up to receive the draftees and give them their basic training.

GERMANY: Explosive Germany remained an explosive issue in the strife-torn international picture. As the titanic East-West struggle for Berlin continues, reports were current that four-power talks would be resumed in an attempt to settle the crisis there as well as to scan the entire European situation. The rumors circulated after top diplo m ats of the U. S., Britain and France were closeted in a series of conferences. In the biggest air lift in history, U. S. and British planes continued to transport food and fuel to the beleaguered city. The big planes averaged 4,500 tons of essential goods daily in their effort to break the Russian blockade. Violence broke out in the Rus sian sector of the capital city as thousands of Germans jammed banks to exchange their money for new Soviet-sponsored currency. Although she looks like a prim s c h o o lm a rm , Berlin’s woman mayor, Socialist Louise Schroeder, courageously defied Russia’s order to dismiss the anti-Communist deputy police chief.

WASHINGTON.—I have just had an interesting conversation with R. E. McArdIe of the forest service of the department of agri culture, and I have discovered that I’m one of the people that the United States of America has to look to for its future lumber supply. My father took up some of the last of the government forest land that was available in the Southwest. That little plot, along with the other privately-owned timberland straggling over the map of the U. S., makes up three-quarters of all the timber there is in the country. Only one-fourth of our forests are public property. And three-fourths of this three- fourths is composed of small wood lots which aver age 60 to 70 acres. Further more much of it is not part of a fa rm b e in g worked by an ex perienced farm er. A great deal is owned by people who don’t live on the wood lot or near it (like me), andmanyofwhom (also like me) wouldn’t be able to tell a tooth pick from a tele phone pole if it weren’t for their size. Worse still, many farmers own ing woodlots with valuable stands of timber on them don’t know how to get their money’s worth from that land or how to keep the wood ed acres contributing to their live lihood as the rest of their farmland does. In other words, growing tim ber in this country has become to a large extent a side issue. Bankhage I am glad to report, after telling you all this bad news, that both the government and the lumber industry are trying to do something about this sit uation for the general, as well as for the individual, good. For example, in 1937, the Crossett Lumber company gave the govern ment 1,680 acres of typical second growth stands in southeastern Arkansas. I can’t go into the pro gram of experimental work that has been done there, but there is one item that affects our story. R. R. Reynolds of the forestry service went to work on 40 acres of this area. He did the things any farm er can learn to do to a similar woodlot. Last year Reynolds reported eight annual cuts which averaged a marketable value of more than $580 a year, and he had as much volume as when he started! Of course, everybody hasn’t Rey nolds’ know-how, but the govern ment is helping to spread that know-how through its representa tives or through state organiza tions. So is private enterprise. Florida Teaches Youth Forestry Fundamentals Thirteen years ago, Florida for example, began a forestry training camp for her Future Farm ers of America members. On August I of this year, some 200 members of the FFA attended a two week camp at Camp O’Leno, about 60 miles west of Jacksonville, where they were taught, in the forest, the fundamentals of good forest prac tices. The first week was for begin ners who had had no previous for estry background; the second week was for those-who had attended a previous camp. During the first period they were taught fundamentals of gum farm ing—how to secure naval stores such as turpentine and rosin from slash and long-leaf pines; how to identify the commercially valuable trees and their use; how to farm forests as they farm cotton and other crops; how to protect their woodlots from fire; how to thin their stands of trees by cutting out the crooked, diseased, and other trees to allow the healthy ones room for more rapid growth; how to make seed beds grow tree seed lings, and how to transplant them on their woodlots. In the second week, the lads were pot through more training In advanced principles with emphasis on actual work in the forest. They fought a fire to learn the correct procedure. They marked trees in a plot, esti mated the board footage in a stand ing tree, cut it down, sawed it into lumber, and measured the lumber as a check against their previous estimates. They were taught how to chip trees in gum farming and how to m arket the gum.' They were even put through a law en forcement course which stressed fighting the incendiarist in the woods. They were shown how to detect clues for purposely set fires. Health and recreation are not neglected in these camps, and at the end of the two week period the boys go home enthusiastic, ready to practice on their own woodlands. They take the message to their parents, of course, and make a re port to the organizations to which they belong. Briefly they have gained a fundamental knowledge of the value of trees and how they can be grown for profit. During the time Florida has run this camp, they have aver aged 100 boys a year which means some 1,300 have been in doctrinated in the fundamen tals of forestry. Today many of these graduates are leading citizens of their communities and many are growing trees for profit. Program Extends To Other States Nor is Florida the only state tak ing an interest in this new think ing regarding trees and youth. Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Loui siana, North Carolina, and Virginia staged similar camps this year. FFA or 4-H club members were the lucky youngsters, depending on which group the state forestry agency is co-operating with at the time. The purpose, of course, is not to turn out foresters. That would be impossible in two weeks. But camps can build up an effective in terest in growing a cash crop by growing trees. This year more than 600 youths from the seven states attended these camps, with all expenses paid by the forest industries. This is where private industry has stepped into the picture. On the modern theory that our future timber supply must come from what we grow, not as in the past from what we found on the land, the Southern Pulpwood association, composed of southern pulp and pa per industry members, with the co operation of the Southern Pine as sociation, pioneered in financing these and sim ilar camps. The sum total of this whole proj ect adds up to this: Industry” has joined forces with state agencies to interest youth in becoming suc cessful Tree Farm ers of America, and to turn to account what has been up to recently a wasteful sideline on the farm sr-a sideline which must supply an important part of America’s current and fu ture vital lumber needs. JVv X Florida teaches the fundamentals of good forestry to FFA youth at annual summer camps. Trammel Green, nurseryman for the Florida forest service, is shown here instructing two boys in preparation of a seed bed. Here they are spreading pine straw over the freshly planted seed as a protective measure. Storage Chest Solves Extra Space Problem IF YOU have a problem storing extra bed linen, out-of-season clothing, or just about one hun dred other articles everyone col lects and doesn’t know where to put, this under-the-bed storage chest should be of interest to you. While the pattern offered suggests; building a chest approximately / 30” wide, 42” long by 6” deep, it can be built to any length re quired. One of the big features of this chest, beside ample storage facil ities, is its utilization of unused space. Being suspended between large wooden wheels the chest can be rolled under the bed, even over rugs with very little effort. Anyone can build the chest by follow. ing the full size pattern now available. It tells what m aterials are needed, shows location of bolt and screw holes and provides the simplest method of build- ing. AU the m aterials needed are now available at lumber yards everywhere. H you live in an apartment and hesl- tate to m ake this chest for fear of dis turbing the neighbors, the chest can be built without driving a nail. A glue is now available that binds two pieces of wood together so thoroughly that the wood will break before the joint can be loosened. A tip to those who plan on attending a wedding real soon—this chest makes an ideal wedding gift for the luclqr bride and groom. Send 25c for Pattern No. 37 to Easi-Bild Pattern Company, Dept.

The Picture Changes T J n c e n s o r e d d is p a t c h e s from behind the iron curtain have increased the fear that Russia may be ready for war now. Hitherto diplomats felt certain that the Soviet did not want war for at least two or three years— until she could develop the A-bomb. But here are some developments which have taken place behind the iron curtain. I The C om m unist - controlled • Czech government has received orders from Moscow to empty a large number of army barracks in western Czechoslovakia in prepara tion for the early arrival of large Russian troop concentrations. It's important to remember that Czech oslovakia is adjacent to the Amer ican zone of Germany. If this report is accurate, the Red army is mov ing up units to face U. S. troops in the American zone. 2 The Russians have ordered * thousands of bilingual signposts erected all the way from the Soviet border to the German border for use of Red army divisions. Word that these signposts are being set up has leaked out through the Czech underground. They all point In the direction of Berlin and Paris. 3 Russia has occupied 15 new ■ air bases in eastern Germany, west of the Soviet border. Some of these air bases are staffed with the Russian version of the B-29, copied from B-29s forced down in Siberia during the war. 4 Russia has quietly summoned ' home for consultation some of the most trusted diplomats in its foreign service, leaving relative second-stringers in charge of its embassies. 5 Word has gone out from * Moscow for the immediate purge of all dissident and weak elements in the Commtmist party throughout Europe. This means any Communist who doesn’t toe the Moscow line unflinchingly is to be ousted. This order reportedly has the blessing of Prem ier Stalin. It is interpreted to mean that the Kremlin is gearing for a final show* down. ' Reason for Worry It has been two years since congress, after hot and hectic debates in the month of July, 1946, voted to sabotage price controls. Here are the official figures showing the difference between controlled prices and uncon trolled prices since the end of OPA: PRICE OF MEAT—upped 191 per cent since May 15, 1946. RENTS — which remain un der controls, increased only 7.6 per cent. GAS AND ELECTRICITY— regulated by state and municipal commissions, have increased only 2 per cent. GENERAL FOOD PRICES— have gone up 214.1 per cent over the 1935-39 average. A Dramatic Touch President Truman got some in teresting suggestions on the Berlin crisis the other day from Jam es Patton, rugged boss of the Nation al Farm ers union, who urged him to “Do something dramatic.” “If I were president,” blurted the Rocky mountain farmer, "I would call Prem ier Stalin on the phone, tell him we had a bad sit uation on our hands and say I wanted to meet him in Berlin to talk it over.” “Jim ,” the President smiled, "I can’t be dramatic. I’m not the dra matic type.” But he assured the farm leader that “ways can be worked out” to settle the explosive Berlin question without war. Patton had one more question on the international situation. “How close,” he asked solemn ly, “are we to war?” The newspapers, Mr. Truman re plied, have overplayed the Berlin tension. The Russians, he was con vinced, do not want war. “And we certainly don’t want war,” added the President. Patton also told the President that, while congress had passed farm price supports, it was only the beginning of a long-range farm program. Farm ers need other measures, such as soil conserva tion, rural electricity and aid to rural schools, he said. » • • U.N. Air Bases Pentagon planners are dusting off a secret plan for a network of United Nations bases around the world in order to enforce the peace. About 50 strategic bases would be turned over to an international se curity force, according to this plan, which was first'subm itted by the air corps in 1942. Military strategists argue that the United Nations must demon strate that it means business—if it intends to stay in business. If a majority of nations jointly oper ated these bases, even a big na tion like Russia would hesitate to attack. Research Improves Average Crop Yield Better Machinery and Fertilizer Aid Advance Farms now are growing about a third more crops than in 1920 and getting the job done in about 10 per cent less time, according to U. S. department of agriculture statistics. Several factors have made this record possible. One has been the research work of plant breeders in developing heavier yielding, hardier varieties of com, small grains, root IN IOAb IT TOOK (0% LESS FARM LABOR TIME TO PRODUCE '/5 MORE CR0P&. IN 1020 THESE CD0P& WERE PRO DUCED WITH THI5 AMOUNT OF FARM LABOU TIME.Il o CROPS PRODUCED crops, legumes a n d vegetables. Another is the improvement in ma chines that helps fanners do more work in a day. A third has been the increasing use of commercial fertilizer and a better knowledge of how to use it. Even with increasing use of fer tilizer, the bigger per acre yields from improved crop varieties are being obtained at the expense of the soil’s plant food and organic matter supply, warns Middle West Soil Im provement committee. “Unless this drain, is offset by fer tility building practices that put back needed nutrients and replenish organic matter,” the committee says, “worn out soils and lower yields will be the eventual result on mil lions of farms." Vitamin D Will Prevent Development of Rickets Like the old fallacy about locking the stable after the horse is stolen, treating calves for rickets after they have them is not the same as pre venting the disease. A nutritional disease, rickets are caused by a deficiency of vitamin D in the diet. The animal is unable to store sufficient mineral in the bones, which thus become soft. The bones bend under the weight of the ani mal, causing bowed legs, knock knees, roached back, low loin, dropped tail head and depression behind the withers. Once these de formities occur, they cannot be cor rected. Dream For a Shop I, I,.,.-n _ Il J % J j. I j UUUtA Well designed work bench and tool panel. Each tool has a speci fied place on the panel and is within easy reach of the workman. Storage space beneath the bench holds small parts or equipment. Hay Prod Thermometer Permits Constant Check To reduce danger of a barn fire from spontaneous ignition of hay, Fred Roth, farm safety specialist at Michigan State college, advises con struction of a simple hay prod ther mometer. When hay is stored with more than 20 per cent moisture content, danger of heating in the mow is present unless a mow drier is being used. Even small amounts of damp hay, if concentrated in one spot, may cause heating in a limited area. As heating of the hay can extend over a considerable .time, continual checking is advised for two months after hay is put into the mow. An inexpensive hay prod thermo meter consists of 10 feet of one-half inch electrical conduit with an oak or ash point on one end to permit driving into the hay. Six one-quar ter inch holes should be punched in the conduit above the point. A dairy thermometer on a string then is put into the conduit. A rubber pad at the bottom of the tube will keep the thermometer from breaking. Fresh Paint Will Cause Lead Poisoning in Cattle Fainting time on the farm may mean lead poisoning time if cattle get near freshly painted buildings, University of Illinois veterinarians point out Paint is by far the most common source of lead poisoning in cattle. Cows and calves are fond of licking paint, especially fresh paint from barns, stables, fences or even paint cans and buckets. Old paint cans should be disposed of. B Y JAW.

Aets 9:36-42; READING; Uatthcw PtDmbt Religion: Hand-Sewn Lessen for Anffnst 22, 1948 THE NEIGHBORS didn’t know what Tabitha’s ideas were. She never went down in history as a great thinker. What church she a t tended, whether she ever took part in e prayer-meeting, what her spiritual life was like, the neighbors did not say. But they cried when she was dead. She was a good woman, they knew. When Simon Dr.foreman P e te r cam e th a t way, they did not tell him about Tabitha’s prayers or her peace of conscience. No doubt she had these. But what the neighbors brought in to show how good their friend had been, was—“coats and garments.” AU made by hand, her hands; made for her poorer neighbors, widows. In those days widows were not pro tected by life insurance, social se curity or annuity plans. They could not go out and earn big money in factories. To be a widow, as a rule, m eant to be in need of help. Too many of them starved. So Tabitha spent her time making clothes for the widows of her city. * • * Full of Good Works * I ’HE BIBLE says she was “full * of good works.” It does not say she was full of faith or full of love. Just full of good works. We can be pretty sure the faith and love, the religion, was there, but it was tte good works that people noticed. Religion In Tabitha’s house was translated into the language of coats and skirts. Religion al ways has to be translated into something we can understand. Religion uses words, of course; books full of them . We cannot get along without them. They stand for something. But where the Christian religion is con cerned, we cannot stop with w ords.. Would They Want You Back? 1 1 hHERE MUST have been a num- A ber of deceased Christians in Joppa, but the only one who seems to ^ have been worth a miracle to bring back to life was this woman, Tabitha, or Dorcas. Her life was over, yet it was a life worth living again. How many people would be ugirth bringing back to life again? How many funerals would the neighbors want done in reverse? Not many, maybe, but if the neighbors voted at each funeral, as they did at Tabitha’s, on the question, “Do we want this person back again?” they would usually vote for people like Tabitha, whose religion was all hand-sewn. * * * What Is Service? SERVICE ISta word much used in Christian circles. We even have the world around us using the word. Department stores, gov ern m en t agencies, radio m anufacturers, fill ing stations, all offer service. The trouble is that much of this is some thing for which you have to pay. And much so-called service is sim ply mending something that was not done right in the first place. Tabitha’s service was of a different kind. It was genuine doing for peo ple who couldn’t do much for them-’ selves and who certainly could not do anything in return. Even among Christians, when we think of service we set our sights sometimes too high. We think of Telemachus, who stopped the brutal sport of gladiators murdering one another on Roman holidays. We think of great missionaries or set tlem ent workers, or C h ristia n statesmen like Gladstone or Kuyper. All honor to such men and women; they inspire us all. Yet they dis courage us, too. For these great Christians are “special” people; they had outstanding talent, some of them even genius. They had op portunities given only to a few, op portunities that do not come in ev ery one’s lifetime.D D D Religion in the Hands W E SHOULD REMEMBER this Tabitha, or Dorcas. All she had was her hands and some pieces of cloth. Her only opportunity was a poor city filled with poor people. Her only talent was one most women have: Plain sewing. Yet the Tabithas, the Dor- eases, make the backbone of Christianity. They are the salt of the church, the salt of the earth. In your own town, in your own community, if the Christian religion is loved and respected, It is not because of the famous preachers; it is be cause of the humble doers, the people whose Christian religion goes to their hands.* * • (Copyright by th» international Conndi oI rebgiotu Education on Ixhalt oi 40 Protestant denominations.

He had just settled down to read hie evening paper when Barbara climbed on one knee, and George Henry took possession of the other. He let the newspaper drop to the floor. He couldn’t read with a pair of heads in front of his eyes. “How old am I, Daddy?” Bar bara asked. This was better than Daddy had hoped for. He was expecting some thing else, "you’ll be three next month,” he told her. He thought that if he used a lit tle child psychology he could keep the children’s thoughts on their ages and birthday parties, instead of having them think of that other thing. “You’re five, George Hen ry,” he said, "you’ll soon be going to school.” George Henry said bluntly, “tell us a story.” Here it was, that other thing that he could see coming. “Not now,” Daddy groaned, “I don’t feel like telling a story.” "The three bears, heh, George Henry?” Barbara chimed in. They settled back expectantly In Daddy’s arms. Their flannel pa jamas were soft and warm as his arms embraced them. “Once upon a time there was three bears,” Barbara prompted. What could Daddy do? He shrugged his shoulders hopelessly. “The three bears lived in a cabin at the edge of a woods.” “No Goldilocks,” George Henry said, “tell us about the three bears and an elephant.” “An elephant?” Daddy didn’t feel like plotting a new story. “It will have to be Goldilocks,” he said. Barbara clapped her little chub by hands. “Goody,” she cried, “what does the elephant do in the story, Daddy?” “But I don’t know any elephant story.” “Remember the one you read out of the book that you wrote?” This was George Henry trying to refresh his Daddy’s memory. Daddy tried to think over the juvenile stories that he had written and had had published. He couldn’t place an elephant story that had anything to do with three bears. “No Daddy, it wasn’t in the book,” George Henry suddenly re membered, “you just told it to us.” The easiest thing to do, Daddy decided, was to make up a story, then rush the children off to bed. “During the day,” he continued, “the sim shone bright on the cabin and kept the three bears warm.” “What was the bears’ names?” Barbara wanted to know. There could be no question about the names. Whether it was bears, pigs, ducks or rabbits, the names had to be the same. "One bear’s name was Barbara, another George Henry, and the third, Sally.” Sally was the children’s eight- year-old sister. She had just start ed to take violin lessons, and Daddy could hear her in her bedroom try ing to squeak some notes, out of the G string. “As I was saying, the bears were kept warm in the daytime by the hot sun. But at night when the sun went to sleep, it got very cold, and the. bears had to keep a fire in the hearth of the open fire place.” The telephone bell rang, and as the children’s mother came from the kitchen to answer it, Daddy re mained silent. This was a rule in the home. No one talked while some one else was speaking on the telephone. The children hugged against Dad dy. He thought they might go to sleep. Their mother talked for several minutes. Daddy gathered from the things she said that she was giving Mrs. Piper, a neighbor who lived up the street, a recipe for cheese pie. When his wife went back to the kitchen, Daddy looked at the chil dren. Their eyes were closed. Ah, no more story telling tonight, he thought. George Henry opened sleepy eyes. “So the three bears had to keep a fire at night—” Daddy began to talk softly, sooth ingly. This would put the children "The poor bears,” Barbara mum bled. She looked like she might cry. “The next day,” Daddy said hur riedly, “the bears decided that they just had to have wood, so they went back among the trees. After they made sure that no other ani m al was in sight, Sally bear picked up the axe and be£an to chop- chop—chop.” “Please Daddy, tell us about the elephant.” George Henry held his hand against his mouth to hold back a yawn. “But before long, the thumping noise again rang out in the woods. Thump—thump—thump. The bears were too frightened to run this time, and suddenly a big animal stuck its head and long trunk be tween two trees and glanced be wildered at th e' three shivering bears.” “Let it be a good elephant, heh Daddy?” George Henry said. "All right, it was a good ele phant, and it asked the bears why they were frightened? None of the 3 ■Ar George Henry said bluntly, “ tell us a story.” sound to sleep. “The bears had to have wood for their fire, so every day they went into the woods to chop down a tree.” “Louder, Daddy,” Barbara told him, "I can hardly hear you.” George Henry wiggled a bit and asked, “Where’s the elephant?” "The elephant?” Daddy had for gotten there was supposed to be an elephant. “The elephant, uh, we’ll get to him . . . the bears had to go to the woods for fire, wood. One day Sally bear was chopping down a tree. It was a big tree, for most of the small trees had already been burned, and she became tired. George Henry bear took the axe and began to chop—chop—chop.” “What about the elephant, Dad dy?” It was Barbara this time. "Suddenly the bears heard anoth er sound in the woods. George Hen ry bear stopped chopping to listen. Thump—thump—thump! AU three bears were startled. They never heard this noise before.” Barbara smtted, “Here comes the elephant.” Daddy- ignored the interruption. “George Henry bear dropped the axe and the three bears ran as fast as they could back to their cabin, and they locked themselves in.” George Henry sat up straight, aU sleep disappearing from his bright blue eyes. "Did the elephant chase them, Daddy?” he asked. Daddy sighed deeply and said sternly, “Will you two settle down and allow me to teU the story? Meekly, George Henry back in Daddy’s arm. “That night it was very the bears had no wood t< They huddled near the da: place and almost froze.’ bears dared to speak, so the ele phant looked around and saw that they had been chopping at the tree.” “So the elephant chopped the tree down for them,” George Hen ry volunteered. Daddy smiled. This would be bet ter than bringing in a lot of com plications and would get the chil dren to bed in a hurry. "Yes, the elephant took the axe in his trunk and chopped the tree into smaU pieces. The bears then saw that the elephant was a friend, so each gathered an arm load of wood, while the elephant took a big load in his trunk, and they aU went back to the cabin.” “Is that aU, Daddy?” Barbara wanted to know. “Not quite. The elephant was so big that it couldn’t go through the door of the cabin, and when night came, it had to stay out in the cold, while the bears kept warm near the fire.” O E O R G E HENRY could hardly keep his eyes open but he said, “Let the good elephant go inside near the fire, Daddy.” Daddy thought for a moment. How could he get the elephant in side? Suddenly he knew how. “The following morning the bears were so sorry for the elephant that they got out aU their carpenter tools and busily went to work.” “Did they build another cabin?” Barbara asked this although Dad dy thought she was asleep. “No, Grace Noll CrowelL HANDlB ihem cmfiillf, garden*! these brown husks Have banked their hies, but any momentmay Butft Into Same.

Trumbull Canvas A nation-wide hunt for the paint ings of John Trumbull, visual re corder of the American Revolution, has been instituted by a Yale pro fessor. Theodore Sizer, professor of the history of art at Yale, issued the call for information about the Trumbull paintings in the “Yale University Library Gazette”. The first such request for assistance was made by Professor Benjamin Siliman, 2d, in 1882 in the “Ameri can Art Rveview”. Sizer, working under a Guggen heim fellowship, is a noted authori ty on the “patriot-artist”. He has compiled the first thorough check list of Trumbull’s works, and the recent acquisition by the Yale li brary of Trumbull’s notebook, con taining a list of the artist’s earlier works, has encouraged Sizer to seek elsewhere for further informa tion. Cd. Trumbull was responsible for the design of the original Yale Gallery, the first such art museum in the United States connected with an educational institution. The pur pose of the search is to complete a check list of his works and discover their location. Col. Trumbull’s paintings are richly steeped in the tradition of Yale, New Haven and Connecticut, as well as the revolutionary period. According to Prof. John Marshall Phillips, director of the Yale art gallery, the artist seemed to have a faculty for appearing on the scene of action just as history was being made. He, therefore, gave the U. S. many pictorial records, otherwise unobtainable, of this country’s early background. Two Plecer The ever-popular two pleeer shown here with slanted lines for accent.

About 4,500 persons drown every year in the United States. Many of these tragic accidents occur to people who have gone in the water for the first time in a season.

Miattsas Labor Needs Profits Have you ever heard talk about “fair” and "reasonable” profits? The suggestion is that any amount of profit higher than “reasonable,” whatever it is, would be unwholesome and bad for everybody. If you have ever fallen for that old line, repent at once. This may shock you back to reality, but I say it sincerely: What America needs is big profits, the largest profits that can be earned honestly! I say this with the welfare of the worker clearly in mind. The Worst Crime Once a great labor leader wisely id: "The worst crime against work ing people is a company which fails to operate at a profit.” A survey has shown that people agree with this, in principle. Yet, they think profits much h'rrher than they are today. The sur vey showed that most people thought profits to be more than four times what they actually are. Most people said that 10 per cent of the sales dollar would be about right. The fact is that last year corporate earnings averaged less than 6 per cent of sales. Then there are those who are always trying to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, by calling for more wages to be paid out of “increased” profits. Except for taxes, the biggest portion of last year’s profits went for better plants and tools. If every dollar of the profit which went to stockholders last year had been turned over to workers, it would have brought a wage increase of only 6.8 per cent. Cut Down Profits It is false to assume that industry could make wages higher and prices lower by cutting down on profits. That way, profits would no longer be the incentive for healthy competition. Gov ernment would have to step in and control the whole economy. This would mean the end of free enterprise and the high standard of living we enjoy. To some people, it may seem like a good thing to soak the “rich” or Iam- bast capital at every opportunity. But they will stop doing that when they begin to realize how much it hurts the worker. Our workers are depending upon the profits of capital to supply the tools that mean so much to them and to every consumer. How can we have tools and plants, unless we en courage profits ? How can we have jobs and prosperity, then, unless we en courage profits? Dangers to Workers We have gone through a long period -of danger, but we’re not out of it com pletely. The period 1930 to 1940 was the first decade in our history during which our stock of tools did not in crease. We allowed 25 per cent of them to wear out and didn’t replace them. In 1930, America’s stock of tools amounted to $1,646 per person. By 1940, this was down to $1,302. To get back to the 1930 level at once, we would have to spend perhaps 75 billion dollars. Do you see our danger? Modern man is completely dependent upongood tools. We cannot afford to eliminate profits, and do away with the rewards that come from taking risks. If we do, the American workers will have to bear the brunt of a dangerous mistake. We need more Henry Fords and Thomas Edisons. Did they make profits? Yes, and they built America. With profits, they made it possible for millions to enjoy a more productive America.j Off Again, On Again An old farmer was dying and was giving a few parting injunctions to his wife. forget, Maria,” he murmured, that Tom Smith owes me 10 pounds.” "Poor dear,” she remarked to her neighbors who had assembled to share her grief, “sensible to the last.” "And don’t forget, Marie,” went on the dying man, “that I owe old Jones 20 pounds.” Oh, poor thing,” cried the widow- to-be, “he’s wandering asain.” DAVIE BRICK COMPANY D E A L E R S 'JN GOOD COAL Dav Hhnn« 194 - NiirHt Fhom* 119 M N„ C.

C HUNTING for More BUSINESS T ry O ar A ds Chief Finds iiNice Wampum” in New York E Chief Tso points out his favorite—a $10,000 bill. Saligo Tso, 62-year-old chief from the Navajo rerervation at Ganado, Arizona, thinks Uie “wampum” sit uation in New York today is de cidedly better than in 1626, when the Indians sold Manhattan Island for $24. Chief Tso and a group of his tribes men were in New York recently to participate in the Arizona exhibit at the International Travel and Vaca tion Show at Grand Central Palace. They not only made a big hit at the show but, in colorful' striped blan kets. shining silver jewelry and with tom-toms and bows and arrows, they attracted wide-eyed crowds as they wandered through the city’s canyons. One of their visits was to the Chase National Bank’s Collection of Moneys of the World, a display of some 75,000 specimens of ancient and modem currencies. Such rare items as fish-hook money, cloth money from the Congo, spirit money from Siam, and a 100-pound circular stone used as "cash” on the Vap Islands in the Pacific, evoked mild curiosity from the group. A string of caribou teeth once used as money in Alaska drew a smile to the lips of Chief Tso, and when he came to the lieaver and coon skins used by Mississippi trap pers he busied himself comparing these with his own beaverskin head dress. Checks signed by Lincoln, Wash ington, Charles Dickens and Francis Scott Key. a check “written” and “endorsed” by arc welding and “can celled” by macliine-gun bullets, a check for one cent made out by Henry Ford, and strange coins used in Biblical times drew reserved nods from the chief and his party. But when asked what he liied best, the chief quickly pointed to a piece of U.S. paper money bearing a pic ture of Salmon P. Chase, who was Sec retary of the Treasury under Abra ham Lincoln, and said, animatedly: “This wampum nice!" The picture of Mr. Chase (in case you don’t happen to have one of the bills in your pocket) is on some rather rare present-day '‘wampum” —the $10,000 Federal Reserve note.

R4 I sought for something rich and sweet That I could cherish on life’s way. And that would guide my weary feet That they might never go astray; And so I found God’s wondrous love Through Jesus Christ His only Son; My soul’s now fixed on things a- bove As on life’s upward race I run. How sweet this love that fills my . heart And lifts my soul above tbe world, As I go forth to do mv part Beneath salvation’s flag unfurled, To win the lost to Christ my Lord And help dear pilgrims bear their cross. That we may have a great reward Where none shall ever suffer loss! This precious, holy love of God Keeps out desire for evil things. And blesses ’neath the chast’ning rod Until one’s heart and spirit sings And glories in the heav’nly grace That comes so sweetly flowing down To strengthen one on life’s great race Till he shall win and wear a crown. Thank God for love that lifts the soul To higher realms that earth af fords, And keeps us true while evils roll And Satan seeks with many swords To cut our faith and trust and hope And leave us stranded on tffe’s shore. Where we in pain would have to grope, Lost and defeated evermore. Who Wants Con trol • Something over two years ago a Statesville housewife timidly ap. proachad the meat cutter in a local market and said; “I know it’s a foolish question. but— do you have anv bacon?” There wasn’t anv bacon. Nor was there any ham or pork of any kind, no beef, lamb ot mut ton, and no veal. AU tbe butcher had to offer was bologna and spam. There was no butter soap, no toilet tissue, no sardines, no cigarettes. And hundreds of other Items were equally unobtainable. It was that way throughout the country. In May, 1946, the Bu reau of Labor Statistics reported that 85 per cent of the retail stores had no veal; 85 per cent of the re. tail stores had no vaal; 80 per cent were without pork, bacon or beef. Miners left the pits because they were unable to perform heavy work without nouring food. That's when we had rationing, and price oontrols. Nobody wants rationing, and when it comes to price controls, it is always the other fellow’s prices that are too high and need controll ing. Labor asserts food is too costly at’d wants farm prtces con trolled. Farmers think they are paying too much for machinery and supplies and want wages con trolled. Farmers think they are paying too much for tnecbinery and supplies and want wages con trolled. And both say industrial profits are ont of reason and would like to have something done about that.—Statesville Daily. A FF LINES 3 Dead Men Don’t Talk TN the tavern of a small Danish town, ^ three men were discussing a gentle man who had died several years before. They all agreed that the deceased had been selfish, disagreeable, miserly, mean and even cruel. A strangeT interrupted. “I believe you’re wrong,” he observed quietly. "The gentleman was kindly, courteous, lovable, thoughtful, generous.” “He was a friend of yours?” asked one, rather embarrassed. "Oh, no. I never met him.” "But if you never met him,” pro tested the man, “how do you know he possessed such splendid qualities?” “I should know,” replied the stran ger. “I married his widow!” WINDY WISDOM You can always tell a country girl from a city girl.

Subtraction In response to compliments 011 the delicious dinner, Mrs. Brown was en thusiastically regaling her guests on hfcf good fortune in finding such a jewel of a cook. “She has only one fault,” sighed Mrs. Brown. “She breaks a lot of dishes.” Just then came a loud unmistakeable crash from the direction of the kitchen. “More dishes, Annie?” called Mrs. Brown. "No,” came the faint answer, “less.” SILENT CAL One Sunday after President Cool- ■ idge had returned to the IYhite I House from church, where he had gone alone, Mrs. Coolidge inquired: . "Was the sermon good?” j “Yes,” he answered. I "What was it ahont?” I “Pin.” I “What did the minister say?” : "He was against it.” One Way Out “Whatever made your husband take up scouting long enough to become a scoutmaster, Mrs. Ruggs ?” “Well, Mrs. Frump, you know we have a lot of lawn to be mowed in the summer, and miles of sidewalk to shovel in the winter.” Eternal Rest During a conversation with an old friend he hadn’t seen for some time, a farmer asked him how he had been sleeping. “I sleep good nights,” he said, “and I sleep pretty good mornings, but after noons I just seem to twist and turn.” Carp In France Grow Big There are some enormous carp in the fish ponds of the Chateau de Chantilly, France, which are believed to be well over a century old. Just before the war two met, were punished at Baden, near Vlenha, for stealing from a local lake two carp estimated to be so old they had been registered under the Austrian office for the preservation of ancient monuments. There is a record, too, of an enormous carp being caught some years ago in the moat of a castle ' in Bavaria which hftd a ring In its gills, proving it to have been at least 260 years old. Definite Proof Mr. and Mrs. Newbride were nearing the tearful stage of their first tiff. “You talk of possessing judg ment,” sniffed Mrs. Newbride. “My judgment is superior to yours!” “Oh, unquestionably,” retorted Mr. Newbride. “Our choice of life partners proves that.” Grammatical Sadie — And when Mrs. Gubbins sez you wasn’t no lidy, wot did yer say? Judy — I sez, “Two negatives means an infirmary,” and I knocks ’er.down. She’s in tire 'orspital now. Psychologists Make Study Of Causes Behind Suicide More men chan women succeed ir* committing suicide, but there are usu- ; aly more attempts, hysterical and ■ fake, among females, according to a recently completed study of SOO sui cidal attempts. The study was made by Alex J. Arieff, associate In nervous and mental diseases In the Northwest ern university medical school, in asso ciation with Dr. David B. Rotman, di rector of the psychiatric institute of the municipal court of Chicago, and others. The cases studied were referred to Dr. Arieff and his associates by the court. It was learned that, in the age group under 20, the majority of at tempts (52 per cent) were hysterical or fake. In the group aged 20 to 30, 48 per cent were fake, and from 50 to 70, only about I per cent fell into this category. The older the person, there fore, more genuine and ominous the at tempt to take his own life. The investigation found that acute alcoholism generaly acts as a precipi tating, not a causative, factor. Ii oth er groups, it is the precipitating agent in-between 40 and 50 per cent of the cases. "From this we can safely con clude that many suicidal attempts nev er would have been made if alcoholism did not enter into the picture,” the re searchers said. Another significant trait of suicidal types is their work record. It was learned In the study that 41 per cent of the cases had inadequate employ ment histories. Lack of work, or a poor occupational record, often is an im portant symptom of maladjustment, and, in the absence of bona fide physi cal handicaps, psychiatric reasons can be suspected, the report stated. Sport of Talconry Wanes Since End of World War II The British falcon, which served its country In one of the world’s strangest air forces, is facing loss of popularity. YYhile Britain's "austerity” program is on, any reduction in game through the sport of falconry, to say nothing of rugged individualism on the bird’s part in raiding barnyards is considered less than patriotic. Before World War H, the ancient and once royal sport of hunting with falcons was winning new followers both In Great Britain and the United States, notes the National geographic soci ety. The hobby paid dividends during the conflict when "squadrons" of pere grine falcons were drafted to patrol England's -oast and intercept pigeons suspected of carrying German mes sages. Specially trained hawks also did their bit in discouraging flocks ” of small birds from gathering around air fields, thus reducing collision hazards. The peregrine falcon, close kin to the American hawk, is outstanding for its courage, speed and power. The hunting falcon operates like a fighter plane. Climbing high above the prey, the fal con swoops in power dives that have been estimated at more than 200 miles per hour. Use of ITon EgypUan pharoahs of 4,000 B.

Swords forged from meteorite iron by the Assyrians and Persians were supposed to possess magical power that protected their owners from all possible harm. An iron meteor that fell in Asia Minor was worshipped by the Phoenicians as Cybele, mother of the gods. The sacred Black Stone of the Mohammedans en shrined at the center of their Holy-of- Holies in Mecca, has been described, doubUess by disbelievers, as a large meteorite, The Romans drove iron nails into the wals of their homes as an antidote against the plague. BARELY ALIYE "You have no complaint,” a city man said to a farmer. "You have your own milk, butter, eggs, meat, and vege tables. With enough to eat and a place to sleep what more do you want?” "Well,” said the farmer, “you come around a few months from now and you’ll see the fattest, sleekest, naked- est farmer you ever saw.” Delayed Action The schoolmaster stood with his back to the fireplace on a winter morning, and addressed good advice to the pupils before starting the day’s lesson. “Before you speak, think. Count 50 before you say anything important: 100, if it is very important." The lips of Ms pupils were moving in unison, and suddenly they burst out in chorus: “Ninety-rine, one hundred! Your coattails are on fire sir!” Two Cowfuls of Milk Auntie—“Now, dear, that is really as much milk as you should drink now.” Niece (visiting from the city)— “Pshaw! I don’t see why you want to be so stingy with your old milk. There’s two whole cowfuls out in the bam.” U n c le S a m S a y s IB iliil |I|1H111§!P1 3 Climbing Cats In California Towering palm trees, which range from 75 to 90 feet in height, are a chal lenge to the felines of Southern Cali fornia. When an adventurous cat climbs to the top of one of these trees, it is usually a one-way trip. The ani mal begins /ailing for help and neigh bors put in a frantic call to the SPCA. At these dizzy heights, the harmless looking palm fronds are lined with ra zor-sharp blades which frighten the cat and discourage him from making a try at descending. To effect a rescue, this humane organization must hire tree trimmers at a cost of from $60 to $100 per tree, depending on the la bor involved. Cats have been marooned for several days before being rescued.

Near ly 10 million of them are doing their share through the purchase of U. S. Savings Bonds on the easy, automatic payroll savings plan. They realize that a dollar saved is a dollar fighting against inflation. And some day, these dollars saved, will be returned to them with interest, $4 for every $3 invested. These bonds are truly security bonds as they help to stop spiraling prices. You too can become an investor through the steady accumulation of Savings Bonds. If self-employed, an automatic bond buying plan is available to you through the Bond-a-Month plan at your bank.V. S. Trfffinry Dcporlmmt Hosses Is Hosses T INCOLN and a judge were having “ a friendly contest of wits on the subject of horses, when Lincoln said: “Well, look here, Judge! I’ll tell you what I’ll do. I’ll make a horse trade with you, only it must be upon these stipulations: Neither party shall see the other’s horse until it is produced here in the courtyard of the hotel and both parties must trade horses. If either party backs out of the agree ment, he does so under a forfeiture of $25.” It was agreed, and Lincoln and the judge each left to find a horse for the joking trade, while a crowd collected to watch the fun. When the judge re appeared there was a great laugh at the incredibly skinny, dejected-looking animal, blind in both eyes, that he led. But the uproar came when Lincoln strode upon the scene with a carpen ter’s saw-horse on his shoulder. Reliev ing himself of his burden, Lincoln with a disgusted air scrutinized the judge’s animal. “Well, Judge,” he said, “this is the first time I ever got the worst of it in a horse trade.” BELIEVER IN SIGNS An elderly farmer drove into town one day and hitched his team to a telegraph pole. , “Here!” shouted the burly police man, “yon can’t hitch there!” “Can’t eh," exclaimed the irate farmer. “Well, why have you got a sign up there that says, “Fine for hitching’?” Seen Along Main Street By The Street Rambler.

Our County And Social Security By Mrs. Ruth G. Duffy, Manager. When we get a claim for Old- Age and Survivors Insurance bene fits, one of the most important fac. tors to be consideted is the total wages that have been reported by. the worker’s employers. Since these employers’ reports are so im portant, I want to review the em. ployer’s duties under tbe Social Se curity Acr. There are many new businesses being started, so a word to the new employer first. Some go inio busi ness without realizing that the So cial Security Act provides for two seperate insurance system for their employees—the Federal old-age and survivors insurance program, and the State Federal unemployment in surance system. Most all business firms are concerned with old age and survivers insurance program if they have even one employes, and even if tbe woak is only part time or temporary. Whether tbe em ployer comes under the State em ployment insurance program de pends upon the State law, The new employer should first apply for an employer’s identifica tion number. Blanks for this pur pose may be secured from my office or the Internal Revenua office Tbe employer should secure the social security account number from each employee at tbe time he goes to work, and the name should apnear on his records just as it is shown on the card. Heshould insist on seeing the employee’s card and not rely on the memory of the employee in giving it. When an employer reoorts all social sacurity numbers and names correctly, he has no dif ficulty.

H W O im u L TlOIIU FMT REUEF Xker FIGTION Cotnev By HELEN LANGVVORTHY LIFE WITH JEAN PJORIS WALTERS ran a clean, *-* white sheet of paper into her typewriter. Very determinedly she began, “Susy Cow was out in the meadow eating the green grass when—.” That was it “when” — what? In her mind’s eye she tried to total all the stories she had written about Susy Cow, Timothy Piggie and Horatious Horse. The stories would reach to the moon, of that she was sure. But they did keep a roof over the heads of she and her daughter, Jean. Doris went to the window .for inspiration. The same dull yard, the same dull neighborhood of the town of East Branch was there. She wished desperately that she might write something altogether different but according to the pub lishers the youngest generation had not had their fill of Susy, Timothy and Horatious. They wanted more. Sometime, she reflected, she would burst out and write something but those too-familiar epics, publishers or no. Doris smiled then, for from the window she saw 17-year-old Jean standing on the comer with Petey. They were talking with intense in terest. Doris went to the kitchen and fixed a thick sandwich in readiness for Jean. She reflected that for one so dreamy looking, so ethereal, Jean had no loss of ap petite. She practically marched to the typewriter then, determined that Susy Cow would be doing some thing before Jean breezed in. As it happened, an idea hit Doris, an idea so overwhelming that she sat and whistled like Jean. Could she? She would! She was whizzing away at her typewriter when Jean came in. “Hullo, Mov,” Jean called loudly. Tm starved!” “There’s a sandwich,” Doris an swered shortly and went on typing. Jean munched the sandwich and asked, “Got an idea for dear, dear Horatious at last?” ‘Yes. Brand new," Doris an swered absently, clicking away. Jean was in the mood for con versation and altho she might have noticed that her mother had a far away look she had to tell her the school gossip. “Alice had a new dress on; called it a rag, but she was careful to let the label show. Petey liked me in bangs, but Chudt says it puts me in the kiddie car class—. Mov, you’re not listening!” “You’d be surprised what a good listener I am,” Doris answered, but Jean turned on the radio full blast then and Doris resumed typing. Days passed. Jean talked this day of Petey, that day'of Chuck and forever worried whether she looked kiddie car young or hideously old, even twenty I “Can’t you forget the seven-year- olds and concentrate on the 17- year-old?” she asked plaintively' after finding Doris typing for many days. “This story is—different. Maybe I ought to tell you—,” Doris began. But Jean clapped her hands over her ears and ran from the room. “Spare me the details. I’ve posi tively heard my last Horatious yam .” She grinned wickedly. “Just let me help with the check.” There was a reward for Doris’ tired fingers the day the publishers wired her that the synopsis had been altogether satisfactory and to rush the completed manuscript. They sent an advance that left Doris dizzy. “I’m made, Jean,” she crowed. “It’s easy street for us from now j Jean picked up the check, un believingly. “Did Timothy and Horatious do this? Oh, I love ’em to pieces. What will we buy first, Mov?” That evening there was no typing for Doris and Jean mentally spent thousands, maybe millions. “We ought to move to New York,” Doris told Jean. “I’m sick of this town. An apartm ent—with someone else to shovel snow all winter and weed all summer!" "It will be just too-too wonder ful,” Jean relaxed in dreams of their future. One minute she ap peared as still as the Sleeping It wasn’t as much fun as in the books.’ ” A few pages further Jean read of the time she had caught the front of her dress on a porch rail ing at a dance and had tom a strip completely off without noticing. On the dance floor she became aware that two inches of her slip showed. But several dances later three other girls had “suffered” similar acci dents. Next day 10 girls tried the new style. Jean sniffled and flipped more pages. There was the account of the time the new life guard began duty. He was wonderfully hand- I <2 KZ “Can’t you forget the seven-year-olds and concentrate on the 17-year-olds?” she asked plaintively after finding Doris typing. Beauty, the next she went tearing to the ’phone. “Gotta tell Petey,” she called. “Wait! S o m e th in g could go wrong—,” Doris cautioned. But Jean was already saying, “Guess what? Horatious came thru in a big way!” C 1ROM then on things were even *■ more hectic than they usually were around Jean. The crowd dropped in often, thrilling with Jean over the move or mourning that they’d perish if she dared leave. It seemed to Doris in those frantic weeks that life was a round of typ ing and cleaning up the kitchen after the raids of Jean’s gang. The publishers were getting impatient and already sending a few sample ideas of their promotion plans for the book. The day it was finished Doris felt vaguely uneasy and went for a long walk. On the path by the river she told herself she wouldn’t dare sit down or after all those nights of work she would do a Rip Van Winkle. Back home Jean came in with her usual, “Mov, I’m starved!” Munching an apple she sat down at her mother’s desk and picked up the top page of the new story. She was curious about the excitement her mother had uncorked for the seven-year-old gang. The title appalled her. It was “Life With Jean.” She began read ing; she skipped pages. It was all there. Her story. It began with her first date with Petey. They were 12. At a kids’ party Jean had thought Petey “hers” but after wards he had gotten on his bike, waved casually and rode away leaving Jean to walk home alone. Jean gasped. Skipping a few pages, she read: “—she was wash ing her face—washing?—practically scrubbing. When asked why, Jean answered calmly, ‘Petey kissed me. .Al T ElUIH and beauty glow from this old Boole like tall white tapers set to light the way; O hearts di Stressed and burdened, Ifwe look There Is & lighr for every darkened day Here in die living truth, before our eyes.

He had paddled all 15 years of her and then shown her the picture of his wife and small boy. Even Jean’s wail, “Why are such good looks wasted on m ar ried men,” was there. She read of the time Chuck had come to East Branch. His con vertible had won Jean over at first. Petey and Chuck eventually settled it “man to man.” Jean thrilled hearing of Petey’s bloody nose and Chuck’s dislocated jaw. “I’m in famous. I’m notorious. I’ve been fought for,” she had crowed. Jean was crying stormily as her mother came in. “How could you!” she demanded. Doris’ heart sank. “But, honey, it was so cute. After all, New York, new clothes—,” she coaxed. “I’d perish if Petey read this drivel,” Jean told her coldly. “Horsefeathers!” Doris straight ened the jumbled pages. “Think what it means. If East Branch smiles a little now, it will be for gotten a year from now.” “I’m not living in a year from now,” Jean cried furiously. “It’s now!” She blew her nose loudly. She tugged at her mother’s arm. “Say you’ll cancel it, Mov. I’d run away, honest.” Her voice trembled. “Petey means more to me than old New York.” Doris gave her daughter a very searching look. She took a quiv ering breath and managed a faint, “You win.” Jean danced, she turned on the radio. “Come on, Mov, let’s put the old thing in the furnace.” She was all smiles now. Doris had sat down weakly at her desk. But her voice was stern. “No! Label it yourself, ‘Open in 1968.’ ” “I’ll be frightfully old then,” Jean complained. "I’ll be aged. 37!” “But it will make such beautiful reading for your own ’teensters,” Doris commented acidly. She ran a clean sheet of white paper into her typewriter and began, “Susy Cow was out in the meadow— & CHAIN GANG Every season there’s a new jewel ry fad that sweeps through the hi- school halls like an A rt Lund record ing.

Avoid this by setting the onion on a flat m etal grater while you slice it. The grater won’t allow the onion to slip out from under at the crucial moment.—•— With chromium - plated copper pans, there’s no need to beware of bare spots. You will have to keep after them diligently with steel wool and scouring powder every time the vessel is used, though, because the bare spots will stain easily.—•— Try making dish towels out of worn-out bedsheets.

Gordon Stonestreet * T h e following conversation s i took place in a kitchen between a = group of rotten vegetables, tin = cans, etc. Rotten Potato: I understand they’re going to collect and haul us off once a week now, rather than every two weeks. W hat do the rest of you think of this ac tion taken by the Town Board? Rotten Tomato: I, for one, am very happy about it. I have been spoiled for two days already and it will be a relief to be taken a- way, instead of having to wait a. nother week. If they would only cover me up, I would not be a- shamed, but here I am in view of everyone who comes into the kitchen. Spoiled Cabbage: I’m afraid at this point I am guilty of emitting an unpleasant odor. I hope you’ll excuse me. I shall be very glad to get out of here as soon as I can. It might be a very nice looking kitchen, except for us. Rotten Potato: When I think of my normal brother and sisters over in that bin, I am ashamed to be here in this condition. I seem to attract so many flies, too. They swarm over me and increase my misery. Not only that, they are known carriers of the polio virus, as well as typhoid germs and then they try some of the good food on the table. The lit tle children who live here and carelessly leave doors ajar, allow ing those flies to come in, eat the food that the flies have feasted upon. Oh! It’s a sad situation! Canteloupe Hull: You a r e lucky. I fell on the floor last night and a mouse nibbled on me. Then the baby came along, pick ed me up and almost took a ’ bite when he was rescued. But, here I am—still on the floor. I just hope that I will be discoved in time to leave here with the rest of you. Apple Peelings: There goes the tin cans. I know they’re glad to leave. I heard the orange juice can say this morning that when his days of usefulness were over he was glad to be hauled off out of the way. Com Shucks: It’s our turn next. She’s coming for us now and I’ll certainly feel more home where I’m going.

C. ; WEEKLY NEW S ANALYSIS---------------- Moscow Talks Provide Peace Hope; Congress Eyes Inflation, Housing; Red Spy Scare Startles Country -By Bill Schoentgen, WNU Staff Writer- ‘T h e n T h e r e W a s . . . ’ (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed In these colamns, they W esiern Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of this MOSCOW : Conference Practically all that anyone knew during the initial stages of the Mos cow conference between Josef Stal in and the ambassadors of three western nations was that there was a conference. The opacity of a thick censorship ban overlaid any details of what was happening. Nevertheless, the impression was that the talks fathered by the desperation inherent in the Berlin crisis, might be the first step in eas ing off the strain between Russia and the western powers. Some information that slipped through the secrecy wall indicated that both sides might be willing to make some concessions in order to further negotiations between Rus sia and the U. S., Great Britain and France. ' The talks with Stalin and Molotov were reported to have produced at least one new suggestion—that prior to another Big Pour conference there Ehould be a meeting of the U. S., Russian, British and French deputy foreign ministers. Such a conference would, theo retically, be accompanied by a grad ual relaxation of the restrictions which the Soviets have clamped on the western areas of Berlin and which brought the East-West rela-= tions to their present boiling point. Although it might be the height of optimism, Communist Russia be ing what it is, there was some faint hope that such a piecemeal lifting of the Berlin blockade niight bring about a provisional meeting of minds on the subject of German currency and other irritating is sues. At the worst, such a discussion at least would tend to act as a brake against a drift to war and provide a breathing space for talks with Moscow on more basic controver sies. There was, however, still another Interpretation of the discussions be tween Stalin and the three western ambassadors: Russia, having car ried its Berlin blockade virtually to the ultimate point short of war, might be thinking that it had brought the western powers to a position where they would have to accede to Soviet demands if they wished to avoid conflict. are those of newspaper*) Whittaker Chambers, a senior editor of Time magazine and an admitted former member of the Commmiist party, got a load off his chest when he told the house un-American activ ities committee the names of a few more higher echelon gov ernment officials who had par ticipated in the notorious Wash ington spy ring of a decade ago. His testimony included the names of Alger Hiss, for m er state department official; Nathan Witt, former attorney for NLRB, and Lee Pressman, former CIO general counsel. CONGRESS: Unwilling Probably the only accomplishment of the special summer session of congress called by President Tru man was to provide both parties with a bigger and better supply of political ammunition for the elec tion campaign. Democrats would be able to say that the GOP congress simply sat back on its haunches and did noth ing about the pressing problems of inflation, housing and other nation al issues. Republicans could counter with the assertion that, within the bounds of their political beliefs and judg ment of what is best for the na tion, they did all they could under the circumstances. To that they probably would add the stock argu ment that the whole thing is the fault of the 16-year Democratic regime and that the ultimate solu tion must lie in the election of a Republican administration this No vember. One result of the special session that might be classed as favorable was that it served to sharpen Ihe rough edges of the wide cleavage between the two parties over do mestic problems and give the voters a more clear-cut, definitive idea of what they will be deciding on November 2. Despite President Truman’s la borious diatribes against congress and his repeated warnings that con trols alone will curb the now dan gerous inflation, in the final analysis it remained foolish to believe that the GOP congress ever would take the action he recommended. Re publicans simply do not approve of that method of handling the nation’s economy. Republican congressmen agreed only to string along with legisla tion serving to reimpose consumer credit controls, with some limita tion on bank credits, and to speed action on a watered-down housing program which does little except ease credit term s for home builders. The anti-poll tax measure, blocked for a week by a droning filibuster by southern Democrats, finally withered and blew away in dust. T A X A T IO N : 125 Billion By the end of this year individ ual taxpayers in the U. S. will have paid nearly 125 billion dollars in direct personal taxes, according to a survey entitled “Domestic Con sumer Markets” prepared by the National Industrial Conference board. Last year, the report says, Amer icans paid more in personal taxes than they spent for new homes, cars, furniture and medical care.

First stone was cast by Miss Eliza beth Bentley, self-confessed courier for Soviet agents, who revealed that much of her information had come from sources in official government positions. She showed no hesitancy in nam ing names, among which were those of Nathan G. Silvermaster, board of economic warfare and war assets administration official; William W. Remington, former commerce de partment official, and Alger Hiss, former state department official ac tive in the establishment of the Unit ed Nations. There was no visible proof that any of the persons she implicated ever had furnished information to the Soviet espionage ring, although some had Communistic backgrounds. As a matter of fact, the FBI reported that it had spent more than three million dollars in an investigation of the same matter months prior to the current excitement. The G-men finally gave it up because of lack of documentary proof. But congressional investigations were under way in both the senate and house. Testimony included the usual flamboyant accusations and re criminations but failed to produce any concrete evidence. Rep. Karl Mundt (Rep., S. D.), chairman of the house un-American activities committee, added to the national impact of the affair by as serting that there is “good reason to believe a Communist spy ring is op erating in Washington right now.” His committee was investigating, he said, although the public hearings so far had dealt only with the testi mony that a Red espionage system was at work in the U. S. during the war. C O TTO N : Mechanized Last of the great American farm commodities to remain essentially a man-mule crop, cotton finally is becoming mechanized, thus elimi nating the necessity of maintaining vast armies of laborers to meet the two peak labor periods of the crop cycle. Mechanization is one of the ma jor steps in the effort of cotton people from Virginia to California to achieve lower production costs. To the 12% million people in 18 states who derive all or a substan tial part of their income from cot ton it is of paramount importance that they keep their crop competi tive cost-wise. The answer lies, to a great ex tent, in mechanization. Thinning and weeding equipment and har vesting machines are revamping the farm picture in the South. The mechanical cotton picker is capable of performing the work of 40 to 50 human pickers, varying with weather conditions, land sur face, and other factors. Typical result • of mechanization was the experience of a Mississippi farm er who used a flame cultivator to control weeds at a cost of 50 cents an acre at the same time hu man choppers were costing $5. Of course, complete mechaniza tion of cotton will not materialize overnight. National Cotton council, representing the entire industry, reports that in 1947 less than 3 per cent of the crop could be classed as entirely mechanized. A consid erable portion of the remaining crop, however, was in various stages of mechanization. Gimi I OKi ?IV Ul Hershey’s Draft Plans "^JOT all the details have been r e le a s e d officially yet, but Lewis Hershey, selective service di rector, gave a brief report on draft plans to a closed-door session of the senate-house a rm e d services committees recently. He told the solons that the se lective service machinery would be ready to process the first batch of draftees by October 15, but esti mated the second call would not come before January I. Hershey told the senators and congressmen there was strong pres sure—at that time—to start drafting 19-year-olds first, since they were not ready to settle down and would be less likely to be upset by army service. The two armed services commit tees, however, agrued the opposite. Unanimously they agreed that the 24- and 25-year-olds should be tak en before they passed the eligible age. This was later decided. The selective service boss estimated that 9,000,000 youths were available for the draft, but only 1,386,000 would be eligible under the loophole-riddled plan for deferments. Of those who will be caught, the bulk are un der 22 since many of those over 22 served in the recent war. The number eligible for the draft in each age group was broken down by Hershey as follows: 25-year-olds, 8,000; 24-year-olds, 15,000 ; 23-year- olds, 19,000 ; 22-year-olds, 22,000 ; 21- year-olds, 222,000 ; 20-year-olds, 475,- 000; 19-year-olds, 635,000.• * * Race for Uranium Most encouraging. sign on the atomic-energy horizon is what the Russians now are doing in Saxony. Low-grade uranium deposits are found In this southern Ger man state and the Russians have been working feverishly to mine them. They have been us ing a great deal of labor and going to great lengths to scrape up this uranium, which is so low grade that In Canada it would be ignored. The fact that the Russians are taking all this trouble over such poor quality uranium in Germany obviously means only one thing: They don’t have any worth-while uranium of their own in Russia. * • * Corporation Gravy While the cost of food to the housewife has zoomed, here is what has happened to the dividends of big corporations. The figures were presented re cently by plain-talking Democratic Sen. Joe O’Mahoney of Wyoming, as compiled from official reports: Profits of 100 corporations after 1940—$1,875,000,000. 1945—$1,943,000,000. 1947—$3,730,000,000. O’Mahoney also cited a Federal Reserve Board report, stating that business profits this year will ex ceed the dizzy high of 1947. Point ing to individual corporations which have shared in this bonanza, he re ported that General Electric com pany now is making profits in ex cess of 20 per cent of net worth. General Motors, 19.9 per cent, U. S. Steel, 10 per cent. The 1947 profits of General Elec tric, before taxes were paid, were five times greater than its 1939 prof its, O’Mahoney charged. Meanwhile, he declared, wage in creases have been obliterated by inflated living costs, as evidenced by the fact that American consum ers are paying 37 billion dollars more for what they buy this year than in 1946.» * • Cabinet Pains President Visitors who called on President Truman at the White House after congress opened, found the chief executive hopping mad at some oi his top executives. He was par ticularly irate with Secretary of the Army Kenneth Royall. Under secretary of the Army William H. Draper and the arm y’s chief of staff, Gen. Omar Bradley. Mr. Truman said he was fed up with Royall and Draper for their sabotage of White House policies. Draper’s policy of re building Germany at the ex pense of her neighbors and Sec retary Royall’s inept handling of army racial discrimination had got under his skin. The President was more huri than angry at the way his fellow Missourian, General Bradley, had reaffirmed segregation and the army caste system 24 hours after his commander-in-chief had issued an executive order curbing segre gation. * * * Spaatz Speaks One reason air thief of staff “Tooey” Spaatz retired from the army was that he felt he could do the air force more good on the out side. For the first time, he now is preparing to speak his mind fear lessly in a flood of magazine and newspaper articles. Unhampered by military restric tions, Spaatz will tell bluntly how hte thinks America should meet the threat of another war. W ashington D i9 e $ t/ Czech Refugee Confirms Crack in Iron Curtain By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. WASHINGTON.—Is the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics cracking? That’s an idea which is being toyed with by" some wish ful thinkers in Washington while others consider it one of the most dangerous playthings that ever got into the hands of unwary diplomats. In any case, the theory is worth examining. It appears to have been encouraged by some members of the little group of highly intelligent but also highly prejudiced people who form a constantly growing segment of Washington society—the political refugees from the countries on the Soviet borders. One can, however, trust this group for certain basic facts. Recently, I learned one of these®— ----------------------------------------------- BAUKHAGE facts which may surprise you. Of course, you recall that Soviet diplo macy always has explained what we call its aggression as simply a desire to surround itself with what it de scribes as “friend ly” countries. The refugees of whom I spoke are living proof that not all of the inhabitants of Russia’s satel lites are friendly. However, -most of us have been led to assume that at least the govern ments and the controlling Com munist minorities which support them have been able to produce a degree of mutual affection which satisfies the Kremlin. After Tito’s action we wondered. What about the frontiers between these coimtries and Russia? The answer came from an anti communist, recently arrived from Czechoslovakia—one of the many persons who are seeping out of that and other satellite countries every day. He was asked in my presence if the frontier between his country and Russia was open, in the sense that travel was permitted under the same conditions that obtain between normally friendly nations. The Czech laughed. He said: “The border between my country and Russia is no tighter than a dam would have to be to keep a drop of water from getting through.” I have heard the Russian frontiers of other satellite nations similarly described. My informant also outlined other significant conditions in Czechoslo vakia, first reminding us of three important facts: 1. Czechoslovakia is the most industrialized of all the satel lites. 2. It is also the most demo cratic in the realistic sense we view d e m o c ra c y . In other words, the country is thoroughly indoctrinated with the kind of democratic methods we know. This is due in part, of course to the fact that so many of the men responsible for formation of the Czech r e p u b lic spent many years in the United States and were made thoroughly fa miliar with American methods. It is also dae to the fact that they had a long period of prac tical e x p e r ie n c e in putting these methods into effect in their own country. 3. The Czechs had a very high standard of Uving pom- pared to the other satellites. These factors, taken together, made the Czechs particularly vul nerable to a Commvmist coup. When it came, because of their demo cratic training and high standard of living, the Czechs were partic ularly unhappy as an afterm ath of Communist methods and Russian domination. In other words, the Czechs had more to lose than any of the other countries within the Red orbit. Greater Problems Are in Prospect Czechoslovakia is not yet thor oughly communized. There is still a certain amount of open criticism. There have been no wholesale purges. Undoubtedly, these will come, but when they do—and herein those who believe that the Soviet position is weakening are encour aged—the prospects are that the harder the Russians crack down, the greater problem Czechoslovakia will present to her Kremlin over seers. Before the coup that ended in the death of Masaryk took place, it was estimated that perhaps 20 per cent of the people had been indoctri nated with communism. Another 10 per cent were sympathetic, chiefly from a theoretical point of view. My Czech informant declares that it can be reliably estimated that the taste of practical communism which the people have had now has reduced that communist score to 15 per cent. He also confirmed the recent statements about the army—though he gave no figures—made by Gen. Antonin Hasal who escaped to the American zone of Germany in the middle of July. Hasal said that 70 per cent of the enlisted men and non-commissioned officers in the Czech army was anti-Communist. My informant put it this way: “The air force, many of whose members fought with the R. A. F., is almost entirely pro-Western. If the Reds hadn’t drained the tanks of all the planes before the coup. most of them would have flown away.” Many did anyway and Czech planes are turning up con tinually in Western controlled areas of Europe. This occurs in civil aviation too because many of the pilots are former members of the air corps. But if the Red government can not trust the air corps, it has even less confidence in the Czech armored force. It has been necessary to immobilize it. But the g r e a t e s t friction caused by partial communiza- tion is felt in the nation’s econ omy. Everyone suffers, at least indirectly, because of this, but it can be seen most clearly among workers. Recent fig ures, which were made avail able to the public, indicate that there is a sharp falling-off in the man-hour productiveness. This could be attributed either to conscious sabotage or to a feeling of indifference and re sentment caused by reduced pay and restrictions on the union labor movement. Before the Russians moved in, 7& to 80 per cent of Czechoslovakia’s foreign trade was with non-Com- munist countries. This has been considerably reduced under pres sure from Russia, but even now some .60 to 70 per cent of her ex ports go to Western Europe. Virtually the entire output of the great Skoda arm s factory goes to Russia. The output is largely heavy artillery. Production of small arms for Russia also has been stepped up greatly. Chance of Revolt Termed Small Objective observers admit that there is small chance of an open revolt. That isn’t the Czech method. They are great underground work ers, but they haven’t the enthusiasm for blood-letting that people like the Yugoslavs have. If, however, the Soviets became involved in war, undoubtedly the Czechs would join heartily with those they consider their liberators. Those persons who predict a crack in the iron curtain base part of their argument on an attitude among Czech leaders which is said to parallel that of Tito’s supporters in Yugoslavia. That is this ques tion of nationalism. There have been recent reports from Europe that Czech Prem ier Gottwald, who always has been considered Mos cow’s right-hand-man in Czechoslo vakia, is about to fall from Soviet grace for the same reason Tito fell. Gottwald is a lifelong Communist who was won over to the Marxian philosophy before he had an op portunity to see it put into effect in his own country. He was an apt and willing student in Moscow, but he apparently cherished the illusion that his own country could accept the communist'form of government and still maintain its identity and its independence. The utter domin ation by Russia has become not only distasteful to Gottwald but also to at least two other members of his cabinet, including the minister of justice. Gottwald is not the leader that Tito is and he probably can be brushed aside. But the viewpoint he has come to represent is pointed out as one of the weaknesses of the Russian system. There is one other fact which cannot be hidden from the eyes of any careful observer with' some military knowledge of Czechoslovakia. That is that the military preparations in the country which the Russians have carried out are almost 100 per cent defensive. Apparently, the Russian fear of invasion from the West is greater than their desire or ability to pre pare for offensive warfare. As proof of this, my informant told me that although one of the scarcest consumer p r o d u c ts in Czechoslovakia is paper, two of the biggest mills manufacturing it were limiting their output to blackout paper only. These are some of the reasons back of the theory which th* people who believe in the old military axiom that you mustn’t under estimate the enemy say is dan gerous.* • « Britain’s labor government of Att lee and Bevin declared the dock ers’ strike a national emergency, the first such proclamation since 1926 when Bevin himself was a strike leader.

Elevator Will Serve ManyUsesonFarm Conveyors Elim inate ‘Back-Breaking’ Chores Elevators are becoming as com mon on farms as they are in city department stores. They are, how ever, of a different kind—and not used for the same purposes. Unless, of course, city stores have started conveying farm produce from the sidewalk into ninth or tenth story “mows.” Farmers began to think seriously about elevators and conveyors dur ing the last war, and they’ve been doing someting about them ever since. Many built their own equip ment. Others bought commercial models. The source matters little— it’s what they can do that counts most. All-purpose elevators, either port able or stationary, are capable of elevating to desired heights baled, chopped or loose hay, ear corn, 1 'H m m . ^xdjujSj j root crops, shelled com, ground grain and forage. Chopped hay is being elevated in the accompanying illustration. They do these “back-breaking” chores easily, and all day long with out complaining. However, before you build or buy an elevator be sure you know for what it is to be used. That knowledge will determine the size and type best suited for your needs. Costs of operation vary somewhat, but, in general, farmers can figure on it taking from 1/10 to five kilo watt hours of power to elevate 1,000 bushels of grain with an elevator, run by a five horsepower motor. 6 n this basis, approximately 500 bushels of grain can be elevated for less than five cents worth of elec tricity. S m a ll F a im U n its A re B ig Im p lem en t B u y ers Two-thirds of the one and one- half billion dollars being spent for agricultural implements this year is being expended for small one-family farms, according to a recent survey of the Anti-Friction Bearing Manu facturers association. For the first time the small farm operator, who owns 6 per cent of the country’s total farm acreage, will be the biggest customer for automatic labor-saving implements. The low ebb of farm labor as well as the increase in farm savings has been responsible for the mechaniza tion of the smaller farms. One outstanding result is that by 1950, it is estimated that four mil lion farms will produce 33 per cent more than the total production of six million farms before the war.

KENNETH J. FOREMAN SCRIPTURE: Acts 9:1-22. DEVOTIONAL READING: Lnke 10:25-37. At the Word of Command Lesson for August 29, 1948 DO PEOPLE always, do what they know is right? You would think so; but they don’t. It is strange how many excuses people can think up to get iff out of doing what Il they know in . their hearts they ought to do. But not this man Ananias. He was a shining exception. There -are three An- aniases in the New Testament, and this one makes up for the other two. One of the others was a rascally priest and one was a famous liar; but this Ananias, an other of the “unheralded” charac ters from the Bible, is famed for going when God said, “Go.” We know nothing much else about him, but this is enough. No Wonder He Hesitated IT WAS just after the conversion of Saul. At the time of our story, nobody had ever heard of Paul, only of Saul as he was then called; and nobody heard anything good. He was a bitter, ruthless man. He had no use for Christians. Exter mination was his only' answer to the Christian challenge. The name of Saul brought terror. On this day of our story Saul had been only three days a Christian. He had had nothing to eat all that time, and he was said to be blind. You may be sure that Christians stayed away from him. His Jer usalem cronies had no doubt given him up as crazy; but no Christian would go near him either. At this point our Ananias had a vision: The Lord told him to go to Saul and lay his hands on him in help and blessing. N atoally Ananias held back. This was a dangerous man, said he. But again the Lord in the vision said, “Go.” and Ananias went. Suppose Ananias had said “No”? That might have changed the whole course of Christian history. How? He could have thought of many an excuse. “Aren’t there other men who can baptize Saul as well as I can? . . . This whole vision may be only a mistake . . .” And so forth. But not when it became clear to him that this was God’s will, Ananias went, though he still did not like it. How is it with yon? When you know what you ought to do, what is the first thing you think of? How to do it, or how to get out of doing it? » * * Taking Orders From God HOW CAN we tell when it is really God who commands us? Most Christians today are suspici ous of visions, and well we may be. Too many crazy things have been done by people who saw “visions” for us to trust such experiences very far. One way in which God’s or ders come to us is in the Word of God, particularly in the words of Christ. For example, take one of the hardest things Jesus ever said: “LOVE YOTJR ENE MIES AND PRAY FOR THOSE WHO PERSECUTE YOU.” That sounds' tough. It is tough. But it is a command. Yet don’t most of us leave that command in the closed Bible and act as if the words had never been said? That brings up another question. Is it likely that Ananias became fond of Saul all at once? Hardly. Ananias could not have liked the man; there was then nothing about him to like. We know from Paul’s own words that people generally were not attracted by his looks. Yet Ananias, who could not have liked Saul, much less been fond of him, went and called him “Brother" and gave him his start in the Christian life. » * * Do You Know a Saul? N OT FAR from where you are sitting at this moment there may be someone like Saul. He is a Christian, but a new and (so far) poor one, maybe. Someone nobody believes in, someone you scarcely know. It m ay b,e a child out of some low-grade home; it may be an ex-drunkard (not so long over it) or an ex-convict even; perhaps someone who has actually done you a wrong. But this person may be just where Saul was, needing a friend. God may already have touched his heart, all he needs now is the hu man touch of a Christian friend. Maybe you can’t love him, can’t even like him; but if he is a human soul God loves him. If you can help him, then you are his An anias. You know what you ought to do. Will you do it? * * » (Copyright by the International Council of religious Education on behalf of 40 Protestant denominations.

Arkansas Do Profits Rook You? Profit is a word that folks must ut ter today only in whispers. In fact, it is a nasty word, the way most people use it. And this is a pity. Actually, the word has in it a great measure of prog ress and once meant the results of that which was “proficient,” or usefully pro ductive. But folks today have twisted their ideas* on profit around so that the word indicates to them the ability of business to take advantage of some body, especially the worker. Our economic processes are interest ing and exciting when you understand them. Without properly understanding the ways of money, trade, and com merce, an unthinking person can be come a dupe for every ISM that Dr. Utopia has to offer. It is amazing to me that I find young people and a few old ones, too, so taken in by glamorous ideas that have no basis in fact. Some of these folks dream that profit is loot. They look at profit as lacking in morals and as the worst kind of sin. Work and Progress The tihng that is directly responsible for human progress and human wel fare is work. Work is human energy. Without work, and without the pay that people get for their human en ergy, progress would be at a standstill. But, there is something else. The tools, the factories, the land, the buildings— all the things men use in drawing upon their human energy—these things are simply human energy stored up for use. Workers Like Profit Payrolls and profits: these two items are vital to the well-run business en terprise. Nearly everybody under stands already how important payrolls are to the welfare of our economic community. But not nearly so many people understand that profits also are necessary. In fact, it would be impos sible to have good wages without cor respondingly high profits. Then, a worker whose company makes a profit is well-blessed indeed. Why is that so ? Only a business that makes healthy profits can offer steady, good-paying jobs to the community. Only a company that makes sufficient profit can buy modem tools and re place worn-out ones. What worker does not like to operate good machinery? Only a business that makes good profits can afford to plan and to expand its facilities. In other words, all work ers who think right about it would want an employer to make good profits. How to Prosper Many workers think that wages are paid out of profits. This is not so. Money for the work comes right out of sales and goes directly to payrolls, just as money for profit comes out of sales and goes for the use of tools and the replacement of tools. When profit is high, the chances are that wages will be good. This is nearly always true unless taxes come in and take too large a chunk, or unless the company is so much in debt that profits cannot be used for new tools. If I were an employee of a company or working, in an industry, I would be very mtteh concerned that my employer makes a profit. I would do all I could to make a profit for him. Knowing that my chances of having a good job and of growing with the company would depend upon the success of the whole enterprise, I would work hard to keep my employer "out of the red.” Then I would know that my efforts really are building a greater America.

Saligo Tso, 62-year-old chief from the Mavajo reservation at Ganado, Arizona, thinks the “wampum” sit uation in New York today is de cidedly better than in 1626, when the. Indians sold Manhattan Island for $24. Chief Tso and a group of his tribes men were in New York recently to participate in the Arizona exhibit at the International Travel and Vaca tion Show at Grand Central Palace. They not only made a big hit at the show but, in colorful striped blan kets, shining silver jewelry and with tom-toms and bows and arrows, they attracted wide-eyed crowds as they wandered through the city’s canyons. One of their visits was to the Chase National Bank’s Collection of Moneys of the World, a display of some 75,000 specimens of ancient and modern currencies. Such rare items as fish-hook money, cloth money from the Congo, spirit money from Siam, and a 100-pound circular stone used as “cash” on the Yap Islands in the Pacific, evoked mild curiosity from the group. A string of caribou teeth once used as money in Alaska drew a smile to the lips of Chief Tso, and when he came to the beaver and coon skins used by Mississippi trap pers he busied himself comparing these with his own beaverskin head dress. Checks signed by Lincoln, Wash ington, Charles Dickens and Francis Scott Key, a check “written” and “endorsed” by arc welding and “can celled” by machine-gun bullets, a check for one cent made out by Henry Ford, and strange coins used in Biblical times drew reserved nods from the chief and his party. But when asked what he liked best, the chief quickly pointed to a piece of U.S. paper money bearing a pic- : ture of Salmon P. Chase, who was Sec- ' retary of the Treasury under Abra ham Lincoln, and said, animatedly: 14 “This wampum nice!” ! 'The picture of Mr- Chase (in case you don’t happen to have one of the bills in your pocket) is on some rather rare present-day “wampum” —the $10,000 Federal Reserve note.
