R4 As we observe the failure of the multitudes of our vouth today we realize there is a vast cause for it. In fact we might say that ‘here are many cases, and these climax in a few that are outstanding. One of the main causes ot their failure in life—fnilure to reach life’s best and highest achievements, and a Iaak of real success In something great and worth while—is a lack of high aims and noble purposes. We accomplish and achieve in life according to our aims and pur poses No one rises higher than be purposes If one’s aims and purposes are low, and be continues to live on that level, be will climb no higher. Of course it is easier to go down grade than to climb up. ward, bnt there is no honor in it, no greatness, no real and true sue- cess. Truly great men and womeu turn from all the degrading and demoralizing evils of the world, and give themselves nnto God, then aim high and purpose sub limely. It is worth repeating that men do no) iise higher than they aim, neither do they accomplish mors than they purpose. The highest aim and the most noble and snb. lime purpose is to live for God and do His holy will. Amen. This will bring one and all the best and most marvelous success and out come. both for time and eternity. We believe every youth of our na tion today, who has the blessing of common sense, could become a burniug and shining light, bless and uplift his fellowmen, make bis mark, and know that life Is a suc cess rather than a failure.

In due season the claim agent for the railroad called. “We understand, of course, that the deceased was a very docile and valuable animal,” said the claim agent in his most persuasive man ner, “and we sympathize with you and your family in your loss. But, Mr. Olsen, you must remember this: Your cow had no business be ing upon our tracks. Those tracks are our private property and when she invaded them, she became a trespasser. Technically speaking, you, as her owner, became a tres passer also. But we have no desire to carry the issue Into court and possibly give you trouble. Now then, what would you regard as a fair settlement between you and the railroad company?” "Vail,” said Mr. Olsen slowly, “Ay bane poor Swede farmer, but Ay shall give you two dollars.” SLIP OF TONGCE Boss — Does your wife know you’re bringing me to dinner?

Artful Dodger At the breakfast table a young broker was relating an incident which had occurred the night before at his lodge meeting. The president, he said, had offered a silk hat to any member who would soberly declare !hat during his married life he had never kissed any woman but his own wife. “Dear,” he marveled, “do you know, not a single man stood up.” “Why didn’t you?” the wife de manded. “Oh, darling,” rejoined the wily one, "you know I look terrible in a silk hat.” ■ I !’I '* fit ! ’!TV Small Fry The youngster having found a cute little brown mouse in the flat hia family occupied, was all for tak ing it to school with him.

Miss Smith, young Joey’s piano teacher, was having considerable trouble trying to get him to practice his exercises.

I’m going to be a prizefighter when I grow up. But I’m keeping it from Mom as a surprise.” Marital Bliss Wife: “I looked over the rest of the men at the party and I was so glad that I was married to you.” Husband: “Thanks, Sweetheart!” Wife: “It's such a comfort to know that you have a husband that no other woman will try to steal.” MARRIED FOR MONEY “Dear,” said Mrs. Blake, “I think I’ll appear in the charity show.

U n c le S a m S a y s Egg Hunt A certain city dweller was inordi nately proud of his small suburban farm; from which he commuted daily. One day he was proudly conducting a visitor over his rural acres. “You have a nice little place here,” the visitor remarked. “Yes, ! have,” was the reply. “A nice garden.” “Yep.” “And some fine chickens.” "Especially fine chickens.” “You like chickens very much?” asked the visitor. “Indeed, I do!” was the enthusiastic reply. “I tell yon it is fine to take a basket every morning and go out after eggs.” At this point the little daughter of the aqiateur farmer brought the pro ceedings to a close by brightly chiming in: “Yes, Bir, and sometimes we find one!” ■MARCHE MIUTAIRE Broken Silence Mother was entertaining her bridge club when the pattering of tiny feet was heard on the stairs.

DoansPills THE RIFU By DANIEL F. LINDSAY « r)K L Y $30.” The clerk smiled ^ down at 'Jud as he handed him the rifle. “Oh,” Jud hesitated for a mo ment as his trembling fingers ran along the dull barrel. “I haven’t got Siat much.” “Sorry son.” He took it back. Jud’s wistful eyes followed him as he sat it in the rack and hurried down the counter." Thirty dollars! He had • a sick feeling as he stumbled out of the store. Why, he’d never even had his hands on that much money. As he walked down the street he swung the bag of salt from hand to hand. If a rifle cost that much, think how much that house must have cost. Enough to buy all the rifles in the world. Reaching the edge of town he started up the twisted mountain road. Unconsciously his bare cal loused feet avoided the blistering hot rocks. Any other day he would have - walked close to the jagged cut formed by the road. Today he didn’t care about the cool shade. His mind was still back at the little store. Maybe his Pa would get it anyway. The thought made him half run. As he rounded the curve he 'could see his mother waiting for him in the doorway. "You sure made a quick trip Jud. What you so excited about?” “I got to talk to Pa.” He handed her the bag of salt and went inside for a drink of water. She followed him with amused eyes. “What about son?” He hung the cup back on its hook and shook his head. “Man talk, mom.” "Oh, I see,” she ducked her head. “Well, he’s out in the upper pasture.” He rushed outside again. “Pa,” he shouted as he reached Uie edge of the tree ringed field, “It’s down at the store.” “What’s down at the store, son?” His eyes were affectionate as he watched Jud gallop toward him. “The end of the world done up in pink ribbons?” “No, Pa.” His young face was serious as he slid to a stop. “My rifle. The one I want.” “Oh?” Pa looked away uncom fortably. “You sure it’s the one you want?” How he had dreaded this day. AU winter long they had talked of guns, particularly the one Jud would get some day. Each time they went to the store Jud would rush eagerly over to the shiny gun case, but they never suited him. “Gradually 'it had reached the maybe, someday” stage. Pa had been glad. “Sure Pa. I went down for a bag of salt and there it was.” His eyes were shining. “You ought to see it.” "How much did they say it was, son?” Mentally he braced him self. “Well,” his face fell a trifle, “it was $30.” “I see,” Pa took his hand, “we’ll have to talk about it later. Right now I want you to help me mend some fences." Slowly the afternoon passed for Jud. Every minute seemed a year. He watched his father’s set face out of the comer of his eye. By the time they started back down the path toward the house his heart was heavy. Whenever Pa acted like this it meant they didn’t have the money. Silently he ate his sup per and went to bed. It was several hours before he fell asleep. He listened closely to the rise and fall of his father’s voice, straining to make out the muffled words. It was useless. The walls of the old log cabin weren’t built for eavesdropping. After a while he heard the sounds of their going to bed and the house was silent. He lay there staring miser ably at the ceiling, his mind filled with the deep aching and despair that goes with wanting the unat tainable. Finally his tired little brain could stand no more and he fell into a restless sleep. The early morning sunlight streaming across his face woke him. He started to jump up, then remembered the rifle and sank back. The sounds of hungry ani m als edged around his conscious ness. He could hear Fete, BIackie and Joe, his lame sheep, bleating for him. At least, he shrugged his shoulders. I’ve got them. "Son,” his mother came in from the kitchen, “As soon as you’re outside. Jud sat down at the table, swallowing the lump in his throat. His mother filled his plate with pancakes. He didn’t even know they were there. Through the screen door he could hear his sheep being loaded into the battered old truck. A rifle was better anyway. When his father tooted the horn he got up solemn faced and kissed his mother. AU the way to town he kept his eyes away from the" back of the truck. Just as they came to the slaughter house he could stand it no longer. “Pa,” he burst out, “They won’t hurt long, wiU they?” “No, son,” his father’s eyes shone kindly, “They’U never know what happened.” “AU right.” He stared out of the window while his father sold them. When the man took them away he swaUowed hard, then shook his head. His father handed him the money and they drove off. “Want me to come in too, son?” Pa smiled as they came to the store. Jud shook his head and hur ried up the rickety steps. Half a minute later he came back out wearing .a proud smUe. . “Say, Jud, that’s some iron.” His “Sure Pa. I went down for a bag of salt and there it was.” His eyes were shining. “You ought to see it” dressed your Pa wants to talk to you.” “AU right.” He hurried into his pants, and shirt. At least he would know for sure. His father smUed as he entered. “Good morning Jud.” “Morning Pa.” His eyes searched his father’s face for a sign. “Your mom and I talked about the rifle last night, son.” Jud just stood there. “And we don’t think we can spare the money right now.” “Okay, Pa,” his face feU, “$30 is a lot of money.” “But,” his father continued, “we did think of a way you could get the rifle if you wanted it bad enough.” ■ “Oh, I do, Pa.” His face was one broad smUe. “I want it more than anything in the world.” “Enough to seU your sheep?” TUD pushed open the screen door ” and walked outside without an swering. His mother and father exchanged glances and went on with their breakfast. Once away from the house Jud hurried to the Uttle pen. The sheep hobbled over to his side. He sUpped one arm around Pete’s neck and his mind went back to the day he had crawled down into the ravine in search of him. He stood there a long time while a chain of mem ories passed over him. FinaUy he wiped a tear on his shirt sleeve and went back inside the house. “I want the’rifle, Pa.” He held his sturdy little body stiff. “AU right son. It’s up to you.” His father got to his feet and went Grapes In the Sun ' G ra ce N o l l C ro w ell mTbe SUDt which his all those planets revolving •found it and dcpcadeot vpoo it, cio /Jpes • duster of grapes as if it had ootfuog else in Lbe world to do.” —Gaulbo i puiple cluster at my fingertips, _ Sweet with die essence of the sun and rain.

AU afternoon they could hear the crack of the new rifle echoing down the range. Then toward evening there was a long periopl of silence. When they caUed him for supper he pushed open the screen door and shuffled inside. His sigh was heavy. Pa looked up with an un derstanding smUe. “Regret your bargain, son?” “No,” he shook his head, “but I miss my lame ’uns.” “I know, son. Growing up is tough.” “Yes, Pa.” He ran his fingers along the duU barrel. He tried hard not to think about Pete, Blackie and Joe. at bv NANCY PEPPER JIVIN’ YOUR JEANS There’s an epidemic of blue jeans parties sweeping through teendom. Maybe it’s just a reaction to aU this “new look” d ress ing up that’s been going on. E ven though the new name for a jeans party is a “bums rush,” you usuaUy turn up looking pret ty elegant—even in je a n s. H ere a re some of the ways you dress them up to the occasion. SISSY STUFF—One way to fem inize your jeans is to cut them off, pedal-pusher length, and edge them with eyelet ruffling. Ditto around the neckline of your tuck-in sweat er. No, Elmer—the farm er’s daugh ter never looked like this! CLIPPED ACCENTS—You’ll at tract attention (and imitation, too) if you roll up your jeans and hold them in place with cUp clothes pins. As a formal touch, paint your clothes pins with red polish, and, while it’s still moist, sprinkle some sequins on them. WASP WAISTED — That’s how you’ll look if you bind your ombre silk scarf, cummerbund fashion around your waistline at the next jeans jamboree. A matching scarf tied around your head please, with long ends hanging gypsy style at one side. Now, all you need is a golden earring—or, maybe, Ray Mil- land. GOLD PLATED—For a really new look, gild your jeans with a gold kid belt; wrap fake.gold chains around your neck and dive for the oyster in gold kid ballets or sandals. A coat of gilt paint will transform last year’s black ballets, in case you’ve squandered your allowance on malt- eds and bubble gum.

Size 14, 4 yards of 39-inch, FIRST AID to tke AILING HOUSE by Roger C. Whitman QUESTION: I have bronze screens that have been discolored because someone rubljpd yellow soap all over them. This has made them green. I have tried to clean them by washing them and also used kerosene, but this has not nelped. I would appreciate any suggestions. ANSWER: I believe wiping the screens with a cloth dampened with ammonia would take off the green discoloration. Be careful of am monia fumes. If this fails, try a good m etal polish. An alternative would be to wash with ordinary vinegar, in which has been dis solved as much salt as will be taken up; then rinse well with clear water. The solution can be made into a paste by the addition of flour. QUESTION: My chimney has leaked for years. Numerous re pairmen could not find the leak. I also had a waterproof coating ap plied. The leak is over the fire place. Can you advise me? ANSWER: There m ay be breaks in the m ortar joints, especially at the joint over the fireplace. Or the bricks themselves may be old and porous. Defective flashings at the roof line might be another cause. Try to get a good chimney mason to visit the house on a rainy day and find out just where the trouble lies. He m ay advise putting on a chimney cap, for rain m ay come down the chimney. Perhaps a tuck-pointing job may be needed, and also a coating of cement base paint containing a waterproofer. Insects Cause Food Loss Insect pests reduced cottonseed production last year by an amount which would have provided 4,500,- 000 people for a year with as much fat as now is included In Eiuropean diets. Each .100 pounds of cotton seed meal will replace 250 to 300 pounds of grain when the oil meal is used for -Iivestock feed. Some authorities estimate that control of insects that attack corn would add 100 million bushels to annual yields.

No_______________ Mamo _ Address More Money Spent Dtiring 1948 Americans during 1948 are buy ing houses and automobiles faster than they can be produced and in debtedness is increasing, according to the Federal Reserve Board’s 1948 survey of consumer finances. Fewer folk are saving in 1948 than the year previous. Some 3 mil lion consumers who had savings bonds in 1947 didn’t have them the first of 1948. Consumers are doing more of their paying on a credit basis than a year ago. Because buy* ing has increased, they’re using more of their savings than before. It is expected that about one- fourth of the consumers will spend beyond their income in 1948 as they did in 1947.

Your Health De partment Our polio, cancer, and tubercu losis Associations have done fine work in raising funds for special causes. However, we have had few community organizations with health projects of a broad general nature for everyone in the com munity. The Good Shepherd Church in Cooleemee has for many years pioneered in this field under di rection of Mrs. Margaret Green, Community Nurse. Now Center Grange of MocksvilIe has a health project with many features. These various projects are vo lunteer projects and are not do minated by any official govern mental agency. On invitation the Health Department has and will help out along with other doctor, nurses, and health workers. EUGENE E. TAYLOR, M. D. Health Officer. Chas 6 .

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS' Bunper Crops Due This Year, May Crack High Cost Living; Spy Probe Confusion Mounts By Bill Schoeatgen, WNU Staff Writer — {EDITOR’S NOTE; When opinions a te expressed In these columns, they are those of W estern New spaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper*) SIDETRACKS . . . Two potential witnesses who..were expected to add some information to the Washington Red spy hunt were Mrs. Oksana Stepanovna Kosenkina (left) and Alexander Koral. Neither did, however. Mrs. Kosenkina, who taught children of Russian C. N. OfBcials in New York, made headlines by leaping from a third-story window in the Soviet consulate where she allegedly was being held against her will. Koral, billed as a “mystery witness” and accused of being a paid courier for the wartime Communist espionage ring, refused to tell anything he might know on the grounds that he would be incriminating himself. C R O P R E P O R T : Momentous There was momentous news from the nation’s farm s: In the cards for 1948 was a record-setting com crop, the second largest wheat crop and substantial increases over last year in oats, barley and rye. Government estimates, as of August I, of this year’s grain pro duction read like a statistical fan tasy of the promised land. Bureau of agriculture economics reported that a corn crop of 3,506,- 363.000 bushels is indicated this year, far above 1947’s small, weath er-plagued crop of 2.4 billion bushels. An appro x im ate 1,284,323,000 bushels of wheat will be forthcom ing this year. Other crop estimates were: Oats. 1,470,444,000 bushels; barley, 313,139,000 bushels, and rye, 26.664.000 bushels. Trouble grew out of the fact that, although the huge crops are wel come this year, they may set the scene for huge postwar surpluses, mostly of corn and wheat. Officials contend that there sim ply aren’t enough animals left on the nation’s farms to take care of the kind of p ro d u c tio n being achieved this year, particularly the corn outturn. Immediate result of this sudden condition of oversupply probably will be the government’s starting to support corn prices as soon as the crop starts moving. Other grain supports are likely to be evoked later. Grain exports will be pushed, of course, but the export m arket is almost certain to fall off in a year or so because other nations also are intensifying their farm produc tion with considerable success. Deflation? Brighter side of the crop situation is the fact that it promises the consumer almost certain relief from inflated food prices sooner or later, since grain supplies and prices are basic in determining cost of living at the household level. Prices of most grains, as a mat ter of fact, already have broken. Com was down to $2.02 a bushel ■mese ere CBOPS OUOHTA REDUCE FOOD PRICES •‘ife&asaf***’"-' from its postwar peak of $2.80. IVheat was down from $3.13 to $2.09, oats from $1.47 to 74 cents. Further decreases are inevitable when this year’s great yield makes itself felt. Generally, cheaper grain means cheaper feed for livestock. Cheap er feed means less expensive meat in the butcher shop. This apparently certain relief from the high cost of living is not just around the corner, however. It lies somewhere in the middle future. Prices probably will con tinue to rise somewhat for the rest of this year, after which the im pact of the 1948 crop should be felt, causing them to come down. , Despite the optimistic outlook, there is another problem to com plicate the picture. This year’s great crops could lay the ground work for farm gluts that would be followed by costly subsidies in the form of farm price supports. Should another year of heavy crop yields follow this one, and should there be a recovery of agri culture abroad, tremendous sur pluses in grains would result. Thus, XJ. S. taxpayers would stand to lose in the cost of price supports a good deal of what they might save in food prices. C O N F U S IO N : And Spies America’s current top thriller, the Russian spy sensation, had devel oped more facets than a cylindrical lens in a lighthouse and each one was blinding to the eye of the be holder. The motley group of persons called to testify before congressional in vestigating committees was grow ing and growing. It was getting to the point where even the witnesses had witnesses. A sensational offshoot of the orig inal spy investigation temporarily stole the spotlight from the main event. This was the battle of 'the schoolteachers—Mikhail I. Samarin and Mrs. Oksana Stepanovna Ko senkina, both U. N. personnel. The goings on over this pair of Russian pedagogues seemed to be fairly complicated, but they could be boiled down to a sophisticated international game of run sheep run. Both Samarin and Mrs. Kosenk ina had appeared on the scene as potential witnesses in the congres sional investigation. Then things started to happen. First Mrs. Kosenkina disappeared for a few days. According to the official Soviet version, she had been “captured” by a group of anti- Communist Wliite Russians and held prisoner. Then she was “res cued” by loyal U. S. S. R. sub jects. A few days later she leaped from a window in the third story of the Soviet consulate in New York where, she said, she had been held captive. Driven to desperation by fear, she was seriously injured when she took the only way out. On top of all this the other school teacher, Samarin, also disappeared. He, too, was supposed to be in cus tody of anti-Commie White Rus sians. However, information leaked out from the Samarin camp: He wanted to testify; he liked the XJ. S. and revolted against going back to Russia. A C C ID E N T S : 100,000 Deaths Possibly the most shocking set of statistics compiled year in and year out in the XJ. S. is that dealing with the nation’s accidental death rate. In 1947, National Safety council has disclosed, about 100,000 persons died accidentally. The full accident toll was approximately ^,000 deaths higher than in 1946. Accidents in the home accounted for a majority of all the deaths list ed by the council. There were 34,500 such fatalities. The total also in cluded 32,300 traffic and 17,000 oc cupational deaths. Some of the other facts released in the annual report: More people died in disasters last year than in 1946—550 in the stu pendous Texas City explosion, 167 in a Texas-Oklahoma tornado, 111 in the Centralia, 111., mine blast, and 198 in airplane crashes. Total of 20,900 deaths resulted from rural traffic accidents, while city traffic accidents accounted for 11,400 fatalities. 211.9 BILLION U. S. Personal Income Still on Elevator Everybody works. Everybody makes money. That is the theme song of the American people who are, nevertheless, twisting and turning in the clutches of an in tolerable condition of inflation. But the money keeps on rolling in. Personal income hit a historic high rate of 211.9 billion dollars in June, the commerce department has reported. That figure is 2.5 billion 'dollars above the total per sonal income for May. Responsible for the large May- to-June increase were the absence of major strikes, impact of third- round wage boosts in durable goods industries and higher prices re ceived by farmers for livestock, the department of commerce said. Wage and salary payments jumped 2.3 billion dollars in June. YOUTH MONTH: Awareness If the day should ever dawn when every family in the nation becomes fully aware that all juvenile delin quency has its beginning in the home, then XJ. S. society will have reached its Elysian fields. Once families become endowed with this awareness they will tend to bring pressure to bear to elimi nate the secondary factors that con tribute to delinquency in young peo ple: School failure, church failure, bad housing and the inevitable shift in ethical values from one genera tion to the next which are some times confusing and frightening to immature minds. To that end, and because a healthy store of young minds and bodies is the best overall insurance any nation can have, September has been proclaimed Youth Month. The Theater Owners of America, who feel they have a big stake in the welfare of XJ. S. youth, have, undertaken to organize the princi pal media of information—newspa pers, magazines, radio and motion pictures—to publicize the month. Aside from the publicity to be ac corded the problem of juvenile de linquency, which is the immediate purpose of Youth Month, the observ ance is more deeply significant in that it provides some, evidence that Americans are becoming actively conscious that at least a partial remedy must be found. Springboard for Youth Month and any other concerted group action that might obtain is a probing and thoughtful report on juvenile delin quency by the National Conference on Prevention and Control of Ju venile Delinquency, Washington, D. C. A digest of this report, or series of panel reports, covering basic causes and possible solutions of the problem, is well worth a few hours’ study on the part of every parent who is aware of his inevitable falli bilities as a guide and leader of his children. NEW LOW: Bitterness While American, British and French ambassadors in Moscow were grimly making peace talk with Soviet Foreign Minister Molo tov in the Kremlin, general relations between the East and West were sliding to new depths of mutual re crimination. This state of affairs was not eased any by unsubstantiated reports that the Moscow talks had degenerated into a deadlock and that no progress was being made. For the most part, however, the animosity was being spread through raucous propaganda by British newspapers, with the publications sponsored by the Russians and the western powers waging a pitched battle of words. The British-licensed paper Tele- graaf reported that the Soviets were getting ready to move great num bers of new troops into Germany and that Russia was pressing to ward “sole rule over all of Berlin.” Soviet propaganda instruments, meantime, renewed their overall attacks on the West, demanding that the Berlin city council be oust ed and that the whole city be made part of the Soviet zonal administra tion. Regardless of any truth implicit in the Berlin newspaper fight it was obvious that the vindictive battle would do much more harm than good to relations between the two power spheres. It was equally obvious that there was more bitterness and fear at work in Berlin than there was a rational understanding of how to cope with the crisis. W ashington D i& esU Ghost of Latvia Recalls Memories of Better Days By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator WASHINGTON—At the end of one of those few pleasant sum mer days which Washington gives us, I was walking 'homeward from a mission in a part of town which I hadn’t visited recently. I found myself in a neighborhood which seemed to produce a slightly nostalgic feeling. The street took a quick up-tum and, for a short block, was quite steep. Most of the houses were new but there was one with a colored glass win dow such as graced many a home that I visited as a child. Such windows were usually on the staircase landing, at the turn, and when the sun shone through them it tossed a handful of jewels on the carpet. I always wanted to pick them up. That, I thought as I walked along, is nostalgic—childhood memories. Headliners m IN LONDON. . . .

DRAFT: Questions This may come as a shock to young future draftees who want the world to know that they are loyal Americans, but just about the only question draft boards will not ask the potential inductee is whether or not he is a Communist and if he is loyal to the XJ. S. All the queries in an eight-page questionnaire for draftees deal witb*f the subject’s social, economic, phys ical and marital status. But I was wrong. Soon I realized^- that the memory which the stained g la s s w in d o w evoked was much more recent. But it did stir ghosts, the ghost of a man and the ghost of a nation, for there is no r e a s o n why dead nations, which reaEy never quite died, must not live on in some form. And Washington is not without such disembodied sov- ereignites. I had seen the man whose memory the multi colored window had stirred for the first time when he was descending a stairway with just such a window behind him. He was Alfred Bil- manis and he died in July of this year. He was the minister of the republic of Latvia which had “died” eight years ago but according to the state department was and is of such corporeal quality that, along with its sister republics of Lithu ania and Estonia, it still possesses diplomatic representatives who are recognized on equal term s with those of living nations. It was in August of 1940 that the Red army marched into the Baltic states and they became by force majeure, territorially a part of the V. S. S. R. But the three little democracies were prepared politically, if not diplomatically. A month or so earlier, by due process of parlia mentary law, a decree was pro mulgated which made the Latvian minister to London chief of the Latvian state if the Russians took over her territory. Today Charles Zarena, minister to Britain, re mains the head of the diplomatic corps of the republic ,of Latvia. Bilmanis continued to serve bis ghost-government in the United States after the Russian seizure. Up to then he had helped to keep the bonds firm between us and his little country whose people reached the shores of the Baltic back in the early days of European history, along with the only two other re maining groups which are at least linguistically, if not ethically, re lated to the Latts: the Finns and the Magyars. The last president of the free republic of Latvia, Carl Ulmanis was A m e ric a n trained. He lived in Nebraska where he waited in exile and worked for his country’s inde pendence. He studied agricul ture and when he returned to Latvia in that hopeful heydey of Europe’s new republics after World War I. he carried'back ideas. One of them was the 4-H clubs. Latvia was 60 per cent agricul tural and among its population of only two million, the 4-H movement grew, adapted of course to its new environment, to 40,000 when I heard of it last before the iron cur tain descended. There were interchanges of visits between the countries and, when ever the big 4-H encampment took place in Washington, the little Lat vian legation echoed to the cheer ful chatter of American children who drank lemonade and heard the big, smiling man with the expres sive ruddy hands, tell of his coun try and show pictures of the chil dren there at work on their proj ects or going through their folk dances in the gay costumes of their land. The American kids looked at the paintings that covered the walls—for Bilmanis was quite a collector. They were allowed gingerly to try the great chair which Napoleon had taken back to France from Moscow, ex amine the delightful little ivor ies, the china and the other objets d’art which filled the legation. And then, one by one, they tripped up the stairs to look at the life-size model of the Latvian girl in the traditional robes of the country, wearing the symbolic necklace made of great discs of amber. Amber had been a Latvian article of export since the earliest traders from the Mediteranean made their way to this northern land, for it was a much admired ornament for the ladies of ancient Rome and Greece. A good neck lace was supposed to be worth an Arabian mount. If there is any amber being col- ected nn Latvian beaches today it is being turned into the coffers of the Kremlin. I can well imagine what happened to the 4-H organiza tions when the Reds stepped in— they are about as closely akin to the Communist youth as the boy scouts were to the Hitler jugend. But if we are to believe all we hear, Latvia is resisting commtmization. Only this week I received a copy oi the Baltic Review, printed in Sweden. Here is one paragraph: “With the coming scholastic year war games will be introduced as an obligatory subject in the schools of all the constituent Soviet republics, writes ‘Cina,’ the organ of the Communist party in Latvia. The paper goes on to say that the international situation demands that children be taught the art of war as early as possible. Military discipline should be instilled in them even before they come to school. Their toys should be model tanks and planes and so-called children’s ‘mechanos’ or building boxes should consist of parts whereof these objects can be con structed. The author relates about his trip to Russia to study Soviet education and military training and rem arks that in this respect the Baltic republics are very backward as yet. Pupils of seven and eight in the schools of Moscow had dis played quite surprising knowledge as regards military matters. Ten year olds had been experts with the rifles and girls had been as competent as boys. Even tiny tots four and five had known the rudi ments of military drill. How useful this proficiency may be in a gueril la war, exclaims the author.” What is going to happen to the next generation in the U. S. S. R. itself and in the countries dominated by her? Listen to this further extract from the Baltic Review: Communists’ Ideas About Education “Every Soviet school manual, every work of fiction for children and young people, every periodical for the rising generation is a man ifestation of a war-like spirit worthy of the Huns of old. Innu merable are the glorifications in them of all sorts of heroic exploits of Soviet people during World War II., to enter a military school is represented as the highest aim of every Soviet boy and 80 per cent of the pictures show guns, tanks, infantry or cavalry exercises. Pic ture books for tiny tots exhibit children playing with rifles, tanks and grenades, every game taught to the young has a military pur pose. This little bit of space that is left over from these aggressive and > -4.. .,JL -F ALFRED BILMANIS . . . ghost of a nation . . . bellicose writings is used to extol the m erits of the Communist party and its leaders, Lenin and Stalin. AU this literary production exudes such a hate for the whole world, for the bourgeoise, imperialism and capital, that the books of the Hitler jugend seem mild nursery rhymes in comparison.” That is not the kind of a state of which Alfred Bilmanis dreamed. He hoped one day to return with his valuable pos sessions and build a museum in his own restored country. Though he continued to serve as minister, his funds ran low and he had to part .with many of his things. However, he did save some of the paintings, Napoleon’s chair and the lady and her beads. Perhaps someday others may realize his dream — some happy day—when freedom in Europe is returned and the ghost republics of the Baltic become real once more for the people who in h ab it them. Married Women Earning More For the first time in history mar ried women outnumber single wo men with paying jobs, according to Paul C. Glide of the U. S. bureau of census. Since 1940, Glick says, there has been a 50 per cent increase in the working wives labor force. Today, the husband is the sole provider in only three fifths of the husband and wife household. "Five sixths of the married wo men working have either no depen dent children in the home or chil dren of school age only,” Glick ex plains. Glick believes this means the advance of the standards of family living. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT BUSINESS * INVEST. OPPOR. DRIVE-IN TH EATER All o r half interest for sale. Good location.

According to uncensored reports, anti-governmelit tracts have been circulated among Russian soldiers and have even shown up on the streets of Leningrad. Pamphlets published by “anti-Communist or ganization in the Red army” also have been picked up in Vienna .,which is partly occupied by Soviet troops. Meanwhile, Lt. Gen. Kuzma Ro manovich went so far as to com plain in an article in the Soviet Army Journal recently that disci pline has sunk to a new low. He demanded a tightening-up against laxity in the army. Uncensored diplomatic advices also indicate that the Russians are reaping political repercussions in eastern Germany. One bloc of Ger man Communists has appealed boldly to the Soviet m ilitary ad ministration to abandon the Berlin blockade. As a result of this unrest in the Soviet zone, Russia has ordered a purge of the Russian-sponsored So cialist Unity party and one of the party leaders in Saxony, Herr Schliebs, bitterly castigated some of his co-workers at a recent con ference in Bautzen. One reason for the unrest in the Soviet zone has been a general economic breakdown. ‘‘After three years of systematic exploitation,” a report from Sax ony says, “conditions in the east ern zone have reached their lowest standard yet.” The Hobo Basket Rough - and - tumble railroad men have been passing a collec tion basket from freight train to freight train across the country to raise money for crippled kids. Dubbed the “Hobo Basket,” it was started on its journey six months ago by three southern railway yard clerks in Birming ham, Ala. Other trainmen trans ferred the basket from caboose to caboose until it had traveled through most of the 48 states. Now it is heading* back to Bir mingham in a basket pasted with messages from hardened rail road workers and. with more than $8,000 inside. Potential Air Lift The vitriolic battle over the 70- group air force has been pretty well forgotten. However, biggest proof that Secretary for Air Sym ington was right and Secretary of Defense Forrestal wrong about the importance of air power is being demonstrated around the clock in Berlin today. However, without detracting from the magnificent job being done by the air forces over Berlin, now might be a good time to demon strate army-navy coordination. It happens that the navy has the biggest air freight carriers of either branch of the service —the Mars flying boats. Now operating to Hawaii, they carry 35 tons each, about ten times the cargo of the DC-3s, main stay of the phenomenal air lift into Berlin. Flying the short 200-mile hop from Hamburg to Berlin, the Mars boats would need little gasoline, therefore could carry more than 35 tons of freight. They also would have the following advantages: Greater lift per gallon of gas; few er planes in the air corridor with less traffic congestion; the trip- from Hamburg to Berlin (200 miles) is less than the present fliglit from Frankfort to Berlin (300). So the navy might get a little practice at-unification by augment- ing the army over Berlin. * * * Norih-South Football Champ Pickens of Montgomery, Ala., the man who is trying to build up North - South understanding through sports, once had to solve a complicated problem involving President Truman’s home state. Pickens stages a football game every December between an all- star team from the North and an all-star team of the South. One year the question arose as to whether the University of Missouri was in the North or the South. A hot debate followed, partly because the star Missouri play er was named Jefferson Davis and the South wanted him on its team. However, when Pickens consulted the map, he found that Columbia, Mo., home town of the university, was north of the Mason-Dixon line; so Jefferson Davis came to Montgomery, Ala., cradle of the Confederacy, and played for the North. Pickens has organized the Blue and Gray association to which he charges $1 membership and which anyone can join, in order to pro mote North - South understanding. With the proceeds he plans to build a football stadium as- a shrine to those who wore both the Blue and the Gray. t I Soil lBank Account' Determines Returns Check Up on Solvency To Assure Prosperity Check up on your soil fertility “bank account.” Ifs more important to you than the number of dollars you have in your commercial ac count. Your present and future prosper ity depends on your soil’s crop pro ducing ability. Crop producing abil ity, in turn, depends on the size of your soil fertility bank account— how you match deposits and with drawals. Every crop you sell carries with it nitrogen, phosphate, potash and REGULAR DEPOSITS KEEP SOILS FERTILE. other plant nutrients. Unless you balance these withdrawals with good management “deposits” that replace nutrients, rebuild organia matter and repair damaged soil structure, your soil bank account will be overdrawn. Among steps recommended for keeping your soil bank solvent are: Use deep-rooted legumes regularly In the rotation. Apply lime on the basis of soil tests. Use commercial fertilizer containing phosphate and potash as needed. Return manure, corn stalks, straw and other crop aftermath to the soil. Use contour cultivation and other conservation methods where necessary. Just as you will get a notice if your checking account is overdrawn, lower per acre yield and higher per bushel costs will notify you if your soil bank account is being over, drawn.

Home Team Lesson for September 5, 1948 . Dr. Foi HUSBAND AND WIFE: Team or tug-of-war? In times when more and more homes are splitting apart, it is refreshing to read the story of one home that stuck together. We do not know whether these two ever had children; no doubt their home was happier if they had. But we do know their names. No one v/ho ever spoke of them mentioned one without the other. You could not think of Aquila with out thinking of his wife Priscilla (or Prisca for short), or vice versa. They were displaced persons, but that did not keep them down. Family Trade Union T IKE AIjL JEWS of that time, they had a specialty, a trade they had learned. In this case someone had taught Prisca the same trade (or did she learn it from her husband?), so the two of them formed a sort of trade union. They were tentmakers, working not only in heavy tent-doth but in the tanned skins of which many tents in that time were made. Their home was a workshop, their hands were bent by long use of hard tools, very likely they initialed their produce. P & A tents were good tents. Their business was good, for we know they always had room for another guest, for another hand at the workbench. That was one thing helping their m arriage to stick. How many husbands and wives today are working teams? One reason why divorces are more common in cities than on farm s is Utat the city man and his wife seldom have any work in common, while a farm er and his wife are a working team In which each needs the other to succeed. Find some work you two can share, even if it Is wash ing the dishes, and you have something to help you hold to gether through the years. More Than Meals A NOTHER bond that held these together was their hospitality. They had a long list of friends, some of them distinguished. We know about Paul and Apollos and we hear of many others. But when Apollos stayed at their house, he was getting more than meals. If you don’t do more for a guest than feed him, he might as well be at a restaurant. If you don’t do more than amuse him, he might as well be at the movies. What those two did for ApoUos was to give him ideas, bigger ideas, truer and better than he had ever had, about the Christian faith. No doubt Apollos enjoyed Priscilla’s lamb chops, but when he left that home he was not merely a well-fed man but one whose soul had grown. Here again is something for husband and wife today. What are you doing for the people who come in your door? If they come for dinner yon wouldn’t in sult them with trash or poison. What do you give their minds, their souls? Poison, trash or food? The Church in Their House E v i d e n t l y the p & a tents made enough money for Pris cilla and Aquilla to have a spacious home, for we find Paul in a letter mentioning “the church in their house.” This more than anything else kept these two together, a working team. You know in every church there are a few key people. They may not be conspicuous, but like the distributor under an auto mobile hood, if they are not there things do not run smoothly and maybe not at all. Aquila and Priscilla were like that. . Their church naturally re volved around them. This must have taken a good deal of their time, no doubt it cost them money, and it m ust have m eant work. But if the church was in their house it was because they wanted it that way. It would be hard to believe that they asked for this so as to keep th em selv es from drifting apart; yet undoubtedly that was one effect of it. The great majority of divorces are among people who have no connection with the church whatever. Many, of course, are of persons who are on church rolls somewhere. But how many broken m arriages do you know among persons who are active in Christian work? * * * (Copyright by the IntemationaJ Council of religious Education on behall of 40 Pretesbmldenominations. -Released by WNU features.} Deal the Bread! .

SEPTEMBER I. i948 W O K IN G A H E A D GEORGE S. BENSON President—Hardiug Cettege Searcy. Arkansas Wage Increase and Profit Survey Show Some Interesting Figures C o n g re ss M ak es a C om eback The 80th Congress was our first post-war Congress, and if faced mountains of problems. Moreover, it was a Congress of a different party from that of the President. The 80th Congress worked hard to get as far as it did. It ran an independent course and made a great record. During depression days a be wildered Congress took orders straight from the strongman. This was approved by many as the best kind of unity for the nation. Unity is a fine thing. When purposes are sound and methods are right, uni fied action can benefit the people. But the United States Congress was not created by the founding fathers to always say “yes” to the nation’s president. The whim and fancy of a political leader, no m atter how great the leader, may not be to the best interest of our people. Restored to Strength. That is perhaps why the founding fathers created the three branches of our government as they did: the legislative to pass the laws, the executive to carry them out and the judiciary to provide justice. Knowing these things, many per sons wondered whether Congress would ever regain its rightful place The 80th Congress has done just that. If ever a Congress denied the rubber stamp process, this one did so. The stature and dignity of Congress appears to be returning It would hardly be possible for Congress in a nation like ours to please everyone. But every one of us can be thankful that the 80th Congress has done much to restore the integrity and strength that our national legislature should have. There were times when this Con gress did not answer “yes” to the President. Congress did not do this just to nettle Mr. Truman. The 80th Congress was doing things upon its own conviction, following its own best judgment. The People’s Safeguard. There was no vindictiveness, but instead a determination to rely upon its own judgment rather than upon that of the executive alone. Our people can find no quarrel with this, once they think about it. It is only that kind of Congress which will continue to safeguard the wel fare of our nation under the Con stitution. We can never afford to forget the importance of Congress I as the people’s will in this republic. I The hard work of the 30th Con- ! gress is shown by the fact that it passed more than 1,000 bills and ; conducted numerous investigations. It studied and acted upon nearly 30 major pieces of legislation. Among these was the Taft-Hartley bill—called the “slave labor bill”— which has not enslaved but has I alrend' P1Wwn its wnrbahility t -' *:. :-l sr ml:, .,lii-r. Mo, was I’ n M ■ "m; Ii- t Cmwv-. showed New York—Labor’s share of Amer ica’s national income, measured in dollars, has risen by leaps and bounds since 1929 while the investor’s share has dwindled to an alarming figure. Similarly, the “real” value—the purchasing power—of Labor’s share has increased far beyond the rise in the cost of living, while the pur chasing power of the investor’s por tion has dropped sharply. That, in brief, summarizes the findings of a noted New York utility executive who has just completed an authenticated survey of the trend of the national income from 1929, peak of the so-called “prosperity period” and harbinger of the depres sion, up to and including 1947. The survey, phrased in simple lan guage and based on official govern ment statistics, has been compiled by Mr. John A. Ritchie, Chairman of the Board of the Fifth Avenue Coach Company Although carefully abstaining from interpretation of its factual content, the survey is by itself an answer to the claim of ccr.ain Labor leaders that corporate profits are far out distancing the gains of the American workingman. Thus, while corporate profits amounted to $17,400,000,000 last year, or 8.6 per cent of the national in come, Labor’s share in wages and salaries from private business to talled $105,200,000,000, which repre sented 52 per cent of the national income. Wages and salaries showed a dol lar gain of 132.71 per cent over 1929, while dividends increased by only 16.78 per cent. Only $6,800,000,000 was paid out to investors in divi dends. AU the remainder was re tained for capital expansion, im- I John A. Ritchie provements and reserves—to increase and improve production, seek out new markets, create new jobs and make more secure the jobs already held. In real value—purchasing power— Labor’s share in 1947 was 81 per cent greater than in 1929, while dividends paid investors last year were reduced in purchasing power by 9.18 per cent over the same period. The "real value" of the 1947 dol lar, based on prices prevailing in 1939 (when World War II broke out) was 63 cents. Thus, wages and sala ries last year increased, in real buy ing power, to $66,276,000,000 com pared with $36,617,000,000 in 1929, while the purchasing power of divi dends shrunk from $4,717,000,000 to $4,284,000,000 in the same period. .-n-.-vess ’■'*i Mism di nn- 'e !'-'Mini I I;-: ;• ■ .

R4 We believe there are manv peo. pie who have the ability to ac complish great thiugs In life, hut they accomplish nothing worth while. They are simply sleeping giants. They let their gifts and talents lie dormant within their lives and never put them to any good and great use. Sometimes we are made to wonder why this happens with some people, and with all talented people, as for that mattar. There are many people who are well educated, well prepared to live great and useful lives, and have golden opportunities, but seem con. tent to merely eke out an existence. They seem to have' no vision of great and sublime accomplishments in life have no higher aims, noble plans and worth while purposes As a consequence they onlv exist, amount to nothing great, and some day shall have to go into the pre sence of God empty-handed, even having left Christ out of theirsonls and lives, to hear Him sav, ‘‘De part. I know you not.” How sad that will be: So many people seem content to drift along on the easiest road pos sible. sleep and slumber their time away, with no thought of whot they could accomplish in life to bless the world and glorify God. To them the wav of least resistance is what they desire and look for, even thongfa they know, or should know, that they should and could live useful and sublime lives, leav ing their “ footprints on the sands of time” to live after them to bless the world, Indeed there are those who have gigantic minds, gigantic ability, fine and gracious opportu- nities. hut neglect their gifts, their souls, aud sleep life away. O sleepy, caraless. indifferent soul, a- wake! Soon it will be too late to prepare to meet God and help others prepare. Your gifts and opportu nities will soon slip away, never to return—no NEVER. ‘ U n c le S a m S a y s A SECURITY .Year part In the SecnrKy Loan takes mlnntes but benefits of yonr action may last a lifetime.

Miracle Man Made Timber Speeds Britain’s Housing By a clever mating ot plastics and prefabrication, Great Britain has pro duced “plimber", a synthetic woods that is factory-made from a variety of -aw materials. This plastics compo sition building material is pro ring ideal for walls, partitions and flooring, radio ca'hinets and furniture of ail types. “Plimber" Is helping to solve Britain’s colossal housing problem. It has already gone far towards acceler ating the nation’s speedy, low-cost home building program. Adaptable to many kinds of construction, it is also pulling its weight in Britain's port market. Strong enough to withstand any climate, it takes a fine veneer fi nish for home furnishings that stands comparison with top-quality natural woods. Developed over the past three years, “plimber” is now in mass production at six plants in Britain. It consists largely of wood fibers chemically treated and bonded with synthetic re- slns. These same adhesives were used In making aircraft during the war. The wonders of the mongrel wood are almost unlimited. It can be sawn, cut, drilled nailed, screwed and gener ally treated like real timber in every way. Wandering Date of Easter Puzzles Millions Annually The wandering date of Easter is puzzling to almost everyone but as tronomers and ecclesiastical authori ties. March 22 is the earliest possible date; April 25 Is. the latest. This year it feU on March 28. The early Christians were sharply divided between Jews and Gentiles. Those whose ancestral faith was Jew ish wished to have the celebration of the Resurrection follow the Passover supper by three days, always, while the Gentiles wished to celebrate Easter al ways on Sunday. The decisoln was a compromise, to the effect that Easter should be the first Sunday after the beginning of the Passover. It is not stated that way, however, nd Pass- over sometimes falls a month late, when an extra month is inserted In the Jewish limar calendar In order to keep It In step with the seasons. That hap pened this year, for example, when the Passover began on Saturday, April 24. Easter Is the first Sunday after the first full moon to follow the beginning of spring, so it happened that Sunday, March 28 was Easter In 1948. Easter precedes the beginning of Passover, thus violating the original spirit of the regulation. Too Late, Old Man Their quarrel had degenerated into shrieks and yells and tears and jeers.“I wish to heaven I had taken my mother’s advice and never married you,” the wife shrilled.Hubby's jaw dropped in amaze ment. “Here, wait a minute,” he demanded; “do you mean to say your mother tried to keep you from mar rying me?”“She certainly did,” the wife re joined, “she fought tooth and nail against it.”“My God!” the husband moaned. ;“Hpw I have wronged that woman!” Herbert Hoovers Birthday August IOth was Herbert Hoov er’s birthday. He was 74 years old The years, have soffened the poe- ple who once were sarcastic about “Hoovercrats” and our former President is generally being hon' ored with affection. In the new best-selling biograj p hj of Hoover, entitled “Our U n known President.” bv Eugene Ly ons,' there are several remarkable bits of news, for example: Herbert Hoover has never ac cented a cent of pay for public ser vice or political office. He was Quaker born and bred in an Iowa cottage almost as hum ble as Lincoln’s. His first job was pushing an ore car on the night shift in a mine at two-dollars a day. He turned down a Guggenheim partnership at $500,000 a year to become Secretary of Commerce. The first and only office for which Hoover ever ran was the presidency. It is fitting that the nation should do honor on his - birthday to our only living ex-president and one who we are coming to find out was and is a great man.—Twin City Sentinel. HooverfS Mistakes (From the W allace (Ida.) Miner) An inspired piece from one of the New Deal propagandists says that “ Hoover was a complete fail ure.” So he was. H e failed in a lot ot things. He failed to draw oiit his salary of $7 5 ,0 0 0 a vear- while he was President, turning it ail back into the treasury. He failed to have his sons organize in surance on government enterprises. He huilt a Rapidan resort for fish, ing and iecrearion at his own ex pense and gave it to the govern ment, None of his sons went rac ing through the divorce courts to the disillusionment of the public. He never bundled tip a lot of gov ernm ent doeutnents to sell as a book to the faitnful at a huge pro fit to himself and he never sold himself into political slavery to a Iahor organization for a $5 0 0 ,0 0 0 campaign fund. He gathered a marveiona collection ot war stuff and built a museum for it, but failed to ask congress to pay the bill— he paid it himself. He did not preoch and promote class hatred and he did not try to oack the supreme court. H e did not plow up everv third row of cotton and he did not promise the American people one thing while at the very same moment doing every thing to accomplish the directly op posite result. He did not ask Congre sto asses es the taxpayers $1,0 0 0,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 ei Srv titre someone shot off a fire cracker in Europe and he did not go on fishing trips on government warships accompanied by a fleet of destroyers. N either did l;e kill off all the farmers’ little pigs or en courage the importation of Argen tine beef: In fact there were a lot of foolish things that Hoover didn’t do that some other people have done. There are a lot of const-tuc tive things he could have done tf he had not had the opposition of a Domocratic Congress bnt anyway he did not leave the American $4 5,- 0 0 0.0 0 0 .0 0 0 in dabt. Mrs. 1Hoover never made speech es or racee hither and you on un im portant m atters She never wrote silly drival on her everyday life and sold it to the newspapers papers and" she never sold soap over the radio H er only public appearance was an honorary mem ber of the Girl Scouts of America. She never invited Communist youth to the W hite House as her guests The Hoover family seems to have made a failure of- about everything th it goes nowadays. DoYouRead The Record? Voice of America /Last year, when Congress was trying to use the axe on appropria tions for the State Department, it sharply pared the huge sum asked for its foreign information service At otice there arose loud wailing that the department was being hamstrung and crippled, that with Russia flooding the ether with Its Communistic propaganda it would he a fatal error to still the voice ot America bringing information to the peoples of the world about our way of life, our fine democratic institutions, about this wonderful, marvelous land of ours, How are we going to make and keep friends abroad if we make no effort to counter the Iies-Moscow was broad, casting about us. So reluctantly, very reluctantly. Congress restored the cuts and appropriated the sum of $27 mil lion for the Voice of America, which was to spread the gospel of Democracy to the far corners of the world. Recently Congress was hopping mad, and for good reason. For the Voice of America was holding the United States up to ridicule. Excespts were read of programs beamed to South America which had been prepared and broadcast by the National Broadcasting Com. pany for the State Department’s information service, and here were some samples: “Nevada’s two main cities com pete with each other because peo ple get married in Las Vegas and divorced in Reno.” “ Brigham Young was described as “carrying a bottle of whiskey in one pocket and a cud of chewing tnoacco in the other ” Birming nam was constructed in a burry and they have had no time to im prove it.” . “New England was founded by hypocrisy and Texas by sin.” No section of the country was scared in these ironical descriptions qf America past and present whicL sound as it they had heen authored for the Comintern rather than for a branch of our Department of State. No wonder Congress was hoppin mad, surprised and alarmed over such libelous misrepresentatious subjecting us to scorn and ridicule, and the investigations ordered should put a definite stop to such nonsensical misappropriation of public funds.—Statesville Daily. .

Our County And Social Security By Mrs. Ruth G. Duffy, Manager. Recently I received a letter from a wage earner asking how he could make certain that his re cord of wages in n»r Accounting Division is being kept correctly. The answer to this question is im portant to every worker. I a.m going to tell you bow to be sure. First, get out your account num. ber card. Have you found it? If so, you see that the nnmber has nine digits, divided into three parts. This number identifies vour own account. No other person can use that number; have that number as. signet! to him; be paid retirement benefits from that number, except von and your family, upon your re tirement or death. Your family also has a stake in your account. Now let’s Iopk at the way we keep up with yonr wages. Every 3 months pour employer sends in a report showing wages paid to you during that period. He put your name, your account number, and the wages on his- report. Our Ac counting Division posts, by machi. nes, vour wages to yout record. If your employer gets your number mixed up, or leaves out part of it, or hses a different name then is shown on your card, tbose ma chines refuses to accept such a re port. Make certain that your em ployers gets yonr name " nd num. ber exactly as shown on your card. Now, how cau you be certain that you have been getting full ere. dit for all your wages? Write us asking for the form used for this purpose. When you get it, give the information asked for on the post card and mail it (it is already addressed). .You'll get a reply giv- ing yonr credits. If you do not a- gree with the amount shown, again write to the Social Security Office, 437 Nissen Building, Wiuston.Sa. lem, N. C. A thorough recheck of our records will then be mrde, and if the added wages are not lo cated, the employer will be cnlled upon to clear up the matter We also want to be sure thai your wage record is correct, aud we en couraged everyone to ask for b starement of his account at least every 2 or 3 years. Errors left uncorrecled more than 4 years are almost impossible of correction. There is no cost to you for this service beyond the stamps you use in correspondence.

X k * FICTIONC o tn et ANYTHING FOR A FRIEND By MARJORIE ABBOTT CAM looked uncomfortable as he l j Stood with his large feet planted awkwardly on Harriet Sweet’s oriental rug. His violin was tucked under one arm, and with his free hand he pushed a thick lock of hair away from his dark, ugly face. “AU right, Sam, let’s try it again." said Harriet. She sat straight-backed on the piano bench and played the introduction to "Traum erei" on the mahogany grand. Her gray head kept time to the music with lively little nods. “Yes, m a’am ,” said Sam. His voice was changing. Every move he made was done in an agony of self-consciousness. He brought his violin up to his chin, and then for got himself as he brought the rich tones to life beneath his fingers. Harriet sighed as the last note became stilled. “That was splendid, Sam,” she said. "I haven’t another" pupil as talented as you are.” A light showed briefly in his dark eyes, and then he blushed and moistened his lips. Harriet wondered sometimes why she wanted so much to win this boy's friendship. He was unattrac tive. He had a last name she couldn’t begin to pronounce. It was partly the longing of a lonely, child less woman, she supposed, for someone to mother. The music should have formed a bond between them. But up to now she felt she was losing the battle to pierce his shyness and win Sam’s friendship. For six months he had come to her for his weekly lesson, but al though she had tried in every way she knew to get next to the boy, she had failed. “I have no friends,” he had told her once bluntly, when she had questioned him, and she had an aching picture of him, working hard after school to earn money to help out at home with his brothers and sisters, squeezing out the extra dollar for a music lesson, practicing late at night. She would have loved to help him in some way, but he was proud and independent. Sam cleared his throat and wiped his arm across his sweating fore head. “Mrs. Sweet, I’m going to stop taking lessons,” he said. "Oh, Sam,” said Harriet, “Why?” “My kid brother busted my violin. TIiis one is borrowed from my old man’s sister just for tonight. I’m going to earn another fiddle. It will take a while. They have them at Brothers’ music store for 15 bucks. As soon as I get it I’ll be back.” It was the longest speech he had ever made. Harriet reached over the bronze bust of Beethoven on top of the pi ano and took her own violin loving ly from its alligator case. “There’s no need of missing those lessons, Sam,” she said. “You may use my violin as long as you need one.” She tried not to think about the kid brother who busted violins. This one hach cost her a thousand dollars. Sam’s face was shining. “Gee, Mrs. Sweet. Gee! I’ll make it right with you,” he added hastily. “I know you’ll take good care of it.” “Oh, yes, ma’am.” She followed up her advantage. “I wish you’d always try to think of me as your friend, Sam. I like you very much.” He looked down at the floor and shifted from one foot to the other.* * * H ARRIET thought of Sam often in the following week. She thought of his large, strong hands that would bring heartbreakingly sweet melodies out of her violin. She wondered if the boy would like the incredibly rich, full tone of the instrument. She didn’t see him again till the following week. As he came in he was filled with a strange restless ness that he couldn’t control. “Last week you said that you were my friend.” “Why yes, Sam.” “There’s something important I’ve got to ask you.” This was the moment she had been hoping for, in all her months of knowing Sam. “I’ll do anything I can for you, Sam,” she said quietly. He stood there facing her, almost defiant in his earnestness. For the He saw the look of surprise on her face. His voice cracked as he went on. “Gosh, I know it probably cost you some dough. I’d even pay 75 bucks for it.” She was staring at him incred- uously. There was no sound in the room but the slow ticking of the grandfather clock. He flushed and looked down at the floor. His fingers were restless on his plaid cap. In a sudden agony of embarrassment, he thrust his hands behind him. “You think it’s an 0. K. fiddle too,” he said. “I suppose I shouldn’t be asking you for it. Even if you are my friend.” She hesitated only a moment be- to She had an aching picture of him, working hard after school earn money to help out at home with his brothers and sisters. moment his shyness and awkward ness were gone. “I played your violin all week,” he said feverishly. “It was smooth as—as oil or something. Gee, it was swell!” His eyes were blazing, and his dark face was no longer ugly. “Look, Mrs. Sweet, I can get 50 bucks from my uncle. I’d work to pay it back to him.” fore she walked toward him and placed her small, blue-veined hand lightly on his arm. “Yes, Sam, I am a little attached to the instrument. But if you think you can raise 50 dollars, the violin1 is yours. For a moment I was shocked, because you see, 60 dollars is quite a bit of money to take. Es pecially from a friend.” Tricks for Teens By N a n cy P epper PETTICOAT PROTEST There we go again—the girls in troducing a new fashion and the boys giving it the well-known B ronx cheer. We’re refer- •fi rin g to th e n ew < P. H. D. s o c ie ty (Petticoats H ang- . ing Down) — and I I to the caustic com- | J ments that are be ing made by your best friends and se- I u verest critics. Pet ticoats have made the front pages of your high school papers, just as your Gibson skirts did last season. But not even the ridicule of your favorite three-letter man can shake your belief in them. CAN-CAN COMMOTION—Instead of lifting your cotton skirt demurely at one side with a pin or petticoat peeper, you sew a little buttonhole loop to the center back, at the edge of the hem, and sew on a but ton at the center back of the waist band. Then you can button up your skirt in back to form a can can bustle and to reveal your con- BECAUSE MEBBLBW G race N o ll'C ro w e ll __ VtW'VsV S O many furrows in so many lands, Somanyplowsbeneath men’s guiding hands, And lo! the old earth's surface has been tilled. To meet the world’s need, granaries are filled With coin and wheat and rye from countless fields. Because men plow, there are these golden’yields; Because their silver shares have pierced the sod And they have worked together with their God, The hungry world has food enough to eat If we share wisely—and shared loaves are sweet The plows go down the land, the furrows run Forever curved and deep beneath the sun: The ancient furrows, and the fresh-jurned furrows now—. There will be bread while men have faith to plow. We thank Theei God, for the heartening thought of men ’ Sowing and plowing and reaping, to plant again-,. toasting petticoat beneath. It’s a sm art trick to play with a black1 cotton ruffled skirt over a striped1 or plaid cotton petticoat. 1 WELCOME RELIEF—You teen agers who must wear uniforins to school have welcomed petticoats as a means of breaking the monotony —without breaking the rules. Before and after hours you can pull down your petticoat so that your ruffles show beneath your uniform hem line. During school you tuck your petticoat out of sight. So far, we haven’t heard about any petticoat protests from the faculty. PEGGED PETTICOATS—So you thought that petticoats were pretty only with your ballerina skirts, did you? Then you haven’t seen them peeping between the side slits of those straight and narrow pegged skirts to which so many girls still cling—and, vice-versa, which cling to so many girls. If your pegged skirts are too short, let your petti coat ruffles hang down below about an inch. CONVERTIBLE PETTICOATS — Some petticoats are made to serve a double purpose. For instance, a pastel cotton petticoat with double hemline rufflles of eyelet, comes with its detachable cummerbund belt. Without the cummerbund you wear it as a petticoat under another skirt. With the cummer bund, you top it with a peasant blouse and wear it as a skirt. It’s a good idea for those of you who are making their own petticoat, and, judging from the reports of home ec teachers, lots of you are. Now, that you’ve revived petti coats and camisoles, will you be saying “twenty three skidoo” in stead of “scram” and “I love my wife, but, oh, you kid!” instead of “hubba, hubba?” They Started On the Screen. So many of your customs and fads start with the movies. Why, that Peter Lawford-June Allyson lesson scene from “Good News” has even inspired you to do your French homework these nights! Has your crowd adopted this movie- made idea yet? YOUR NEW DANCE—It’s that oldie, the Charleston—ever since you saw it danced in “Good News.” Bet your parents could give you some fine points on it. Bet they cotfld show you the cups they won in Charleston contests back in the days when Joan Crawford scintil lated more than she suffered. YOIJR NEW CUSTOM — Since you’ve seen “Captain from Castile,” you’ve revived the custom of giving a handkerchief to your T-man (top man) as a keepsake. He keeps it in his jacket pocket for show—not for blow. NEW HAIR-DO—The short cut with bangs, as Eleanor Parker wore in “Voice of the Turtle” is sweeping through the high school halls these days. But do any of your upper classmen try to look like Ronald Reagen?

The bond issue carried by a nearly two to one vote. The Record editor must have a powerful influence if he is to take credit for carrying the bond issue. We wonder if this farmer will quit selling his wheat and corn to our flour mills? Will he quir selling his chickens and eggs, and buying his groceries from our merchants who voted for the bond issue? W hen asked if he yoted for the good roads bond issues a number of years ago, he declared that he did not. We told this gentleman that he didn’t have enough cash to pay for The Record six months.

C. W EE K LY N E W S A N A L Y S IS ' U. S. Registers Cold War Victory; Moscow Talks Headed for Failure; Truman, Congress in Budget Fight -By Bill Schoentgen, WNU Staff Writer- COLD WAR (EDITOR’S KOTO: When opinion* are expressed In these columns. they are those of W estern Newspaper Vnion*s news analysts ana not necessarily of this newspaper.) BUDGET: Unbalanced Will there be a surplus or deficit in the government’s budget at the end of this fiscal year? It was a question good for a lot of political haymaking, and both President Truman and his Republi can opponents in congress went to work with a will. Mr. Truman’s forecast was that the government would be 1:5 bil lion dollars in the red next June. In his mid-year budget report he blamed the Republicans’ “ill-timed” five-billion-dollar tax cut for put ting the nation back in the hole. Stricken with horror, GOP law makers rapped back sharply: F ar from harboring a deficit, they said, the treasury will close its books next June with a surplus of be tween five and six bilUoU dollars. The President had juggled figures for political campaign effect, the Republicans charged bitterly. “Another of the weird distortions which are coming from the White House while its occupant is a nerv ous candidate for re-election,” com mented Sen. Styles Bridges (Rep., N. H.) mordaciously. Mr. Truman had said that federal expenditures this year would hit 42 billion dollars, while Republicans claim that actual expenses will to tal 38 billion. They charged, too, that the President had figured the national income 3.4 billion dollars too low for the year. Just who was right in the m atter, if anyone, was impossible to say. The entire affair had many of the characteristics of the kind of tem pest in a teapot that is a run-of-the- mill event in an election year. Actually, even if President Tru man’s estimate turns out to be the correct one, the books still will show an “adjusted surplus,” despite the 1.5-billion-dollar operating deficit. That is because congress provided that three billion of the surplus last year should be shifted to this year’s accounts to help meet for eign aid costs. PSYCHIATRY: War Cure How can the world prevent wars? Use of psychiatry would be a big help, according to Dr. John Milne Murray, professor of clinical psy chiatry at Boston university. A psychiatrist, he said, is one who seeks the reason for the fail ure of human relations in the indi vidual rather than in the mass. "But,” he asked, “what is war except a mass breakdown of inade quate relations ending up in a tre mendous burst of self-destruction?” Take, for instance, the reactions of a child trying to adjust itself to a harsh environment. Under stress the child may revert to archaic forms of behavior, and that is very sim ilar to the impulse of destruc tion which, on a world-wide scale, becomes war. Therefore, knowledge of mass hu man reactions should be employed to abolish war, Dr. Murray con cluded.^ Actually, it’s all very simple. If people didn’t act the way they do they wouldn’t have to fight each other. The trick is to make them understand that. O u t o f t h e P a r k V i ll ia n R e v e a le d ■ ' At last something had happened that could and did make people un derstand what this Russian situa tion was all about. It had been pretty difficult going for the world public to perceive the basic truth when it was obscured by confusing circumstances like currency reform in Berlin, control of the German Ruhr, a maze of spi£s at home and political annihila tion of small European nations by Russia. What it all amounted to, as far as most people were concerned, was a mess of verbal pottage that they wouldn’t trade for the comics page any day of the week. Then it happened. Mrs. Oksana Kosenkina, the Russian school teacher, jumped from a third-story window in the Soviet consulate in New York to achieve the liberty she so desperately sought. Mikhail Samarin, the other Rus sian school teacher, was wanted by the Russians but managed to retain his freedom. Refusing the Soviet de mand that he return to Russia, he tossed this scallion for the Commu nists into the propaganda war: “I won’t return to death.” And finally, in England Olympic athletes from Czechoslovakia and other Soviet satellite states were steadfastly refusing to return tg their home countries after their taste of a free land. It all added up to the biggest break the western nations have had yet in their propaganda battle with the East. This was simple, basic, under standable: These people from the land of the Soviets—the schoolteach ers and athletes—utterly despised the idea of returning. They simply would not do it. Thus, it was in the end a few ordinary persons who destroyed the elaborate fabrication which Moscow had constructed to represent to the world the ideal way of life that existed in the Soviet Union. One Voice of America spokesman said: “This is what we have been waiting for in our war of words. This is something that can be easily understood by people all over the world.”The Communists tried frantically to cover this breach in their curtain by calling it, among other things, an underground conspiracy in the U. S. to wreck any possibility for peace between the two nations. But the villian’s disguise was off now and everyone knew him. Try as they might, the Communists nev er would be able to explain why two obscure school teachers would seek their freedom so desperately, nor why Russia was so determined to get them back. PARLEY: Failure From Moscow came crushing news for all those hoping for peace: The talks between the western de mocracies and Russia were report ed to be on the brink of failure. Barring a last-minute miracle in the conferences between the U. S., England, France and Russia, the East-West stalemate would continue, along with the Soviet blockade of Berlin. It was reported that the western powers were getting ready to stay in Berlin under conditions of eco nomic siege, planning to maintain and enlarge the air lift to supply the 2.5 million persons in their sectors. There was, however, one slim chance that utter failure could be avoided. The three western ambas sadors were scheduled for a final talk with Premier Stalin, and it was a possibility that the negotia tions might be rescued. But the odds against agreement stood at about five to one, officials said. If the conference ended in the anticipated failure, it was thought that the Big Four governments would try to conceal the extent of the fiasco from the public in order to avoid the even greater degenera tion of East-West relationships that undoubtedly would result if every- - one knew just how hopeless the case was. However, if the Moscow talks did break up in futility it would not mean necessarily that all similar negotiations would be abandoned. It would mean that any further ef fort to reopen them would be de-> layed until at least next spring— possibly March—after the election and inauguration. In some dimly seen future time baseball record books might fall into dust, but there will be those who still talk of Babe Ruth. And among kids the legend of the Babe might grow into this: Every baseball be ever lift he (lit for a home run. And some might smile at the exaggeration but say nothing because it will be a magnificent story. WHAT'LL YA HAVE, GENTS? How About 55 Gallons of Black Coffee? CoSee and milk, by a wide m ar gin, remain the favorite beverages of American drinkers who will down nearly eight billion gallons of coffee and nearly seven billion gallons of milk in 1948. The report on the national liquid intake, compiled by the family economics bureau of Northwestern National Life Insurance company, also estimates that about 2.7 bil lion gallons of beer and 1.7 billion gallons of assorted soft drinks will be consumed this year. CoSee consumptioh comes to 55 gallons per capita in 1948.■ The grand total of 7.95 billion gallons would make a circular lake one and a half miles across and 20 feet deep. It would keep a Niagara falls cataract flowing for 67 min utes—without cream or sugar. -GI I ORtW ,SON Dress Rehearsal for War PlG H T MILES out of Frankfurt, Germany, at the Rhine-Main airport, is a place the G.I.s call “Boom Town.” It is called that be cause a new town has sprung up overnight, with the carpenters’ hammers still making as much noise as the airplane motors—all because of the Berlin airlift. One thing about this airlift which most people don’t realize is that it’s an air force rehears al for future possible eventual ities. And the top air people are quite candid about this fact. Furthermore, if the diplomats succeed in raising the Berlin block ade, the air force does not intend to abandon its installations. Boom Town will stay right on—just in case the Russians tighten up their eco nomic grip on Berlin once again. In the briefing room at Rhine- Main, a pair of snowshoes are tacked on the wall—memento of the 64th Troop Carrier squadron based at Elmendorf field, Anchorage, Alaska. Those snowshoes are sym bolic of the manner in which the air force has abandoned all other tasks in all other parts of the world to break the Berlin blockade. There might also be other symbols — from Albrook field, Panam a, Bergstrom field, near Austin, Tex., and Hicbham field, Hawaii—pilots assembled from all parts of the earth, getting experience in a theater where Oiey may have to operate with life-or-death determination In the future. That is why the army, in calcu lating the cost of the airlift, reck ons only the cost of gasoline and supplies. The cost of pilots’ time, they figure, is a good investment.• » * Bradley’s Inspection Tour BEST INDICATION that the west ern powers don’t anticipate early hostilities in Europe despite the tense state of the Moscow talks is that army chief of staff, Gen. Omar Bradley, plans an extended vaca tion trip. ■■ General Bradley is combining va cation with business on a one-month tour of American outposts in the Far East. Although nobody will con firm it, it’s considered likely Brad ley will take to Japan another invi tation from President Truman to MacArthur, asking the Allied Far Eastern commander to come home and receive a hero’s welcome. Mac- Arthur has indicated that if he re turns home from Japan it will not be until after the November elec tion. Note—V. S. diplomats predict Russitit next zone of intensive operations will be the Far East—the area Bradley is visit ing. f * * * Seek Small Town Vote DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMEN Melvin Price .of Illihois and Frank M. Karsten of Missouri got a lec ture from President Truman on the importance of the small town vote. Calling at the White House, Price and Karsten assured the President of their support next November. Whereupon Mr. Truman gave them a homely discourse on the coming campaign. • “I’m not worried about the elec tion,” he said. “We’re going to win, that’s sure. I know that’s sure be cause we’re right and they’re wrong. “I’m going to make it a rip- snorting, back - platforip cam paign to what Taft calls all the - 'whistle stops,” ’ the President continued. “Taft calls them whistle stops, but I call them the heart of America. When they count the whistle-stop votes, Taft may be in for a big surprise. I think the whistle stops will make the difference between victory and defeat.” Mr. Truman also expressed con fidence that he would carry much of the farm vote. He said that Re publican opposition to the world wheat agreement would play into Democratic hands. “We have our biggest wheat crop in history,” he said. “The Russians have their biggest bumper wheat crop in history. The farmers know that if there isn’t some agreement to protect them, all the farm ers will be hurt. I am going to explain this to the farm ers in the campaign,”* * * Condemn Housing Frauds AN ALL-OUT CRACKDOWN on housing frauds against veterans was ordered by Atty. Gen. Tom Clark and Housing Expediter Tighe Woods at a conference of U. S. district at torneys from 21 key cities. “I want you to put these housing frauds at the top of the list when it comes to prosecutions,” ordered the attorney general. EquaUy vigorous was Woods, who has expanded his investi gating force from 15 to 300 men. He told the district attorneys in their dosed-door session that while he would leave the legal , justification up to them, he wanted to emphasize the govern ment’s moral obligation to do something about housing viola tions. W ashm gton D i 9 CSt; Nation's Grasslands Stand For Security in Agriculture By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. WASHINGTON.—“The grasslands, hay lands and forested range lands of the entire United States cover more than a billion acres, nearly 60 per cent of the total land area. They furnish about half of the feed for all the livestock.” That statement is quoted from the new AGRICULTURE YEAR BOOK titled “Grass,” last copies of which now are being delivered to congress men for their constituents. Purpose of this book is to contribute to the lore and practice of the American farm er so he may help to attain “permanency in agriculture/" This permanency is obtainable,^.................. says P. V. Cardon, in the opening chapter of this splendid 900- page book, by means of “—an agriculture that is stable and se cure for farm and farmers, consistent in prices and earn ings; an agricul ture that can sa tisfy in d ef in ite ly a ll our needs of food, fibre and shelter BAUKHAGE in keeping with the living standards we set. Every body has a stake in a permanent agriculture.” Grassland is, according to the many experts who have contribut ed to this volume, the foundation of security in agriculture. Grasslands, by the sheer force of their need, have increased from an original 700 million acres to the present billion. Believers in grass expect th a t. acreage to be in creased, and I have no doubt that this book will help. Grass means to these stu dents of the Gramineae fam ily, wheat, corn, rice, sugar cane, sorghum, millet, barley, oats, many of the sod crops which provide forage or pas turage and the associated leg umes, clover, Iespedezas, al falfa and others. The trend toward grassland ag riculture in America existed for some 10 years but was interrupted for intensive cultivation during the war. Now it is increasing again, according to Cardon who has been engaged in agriculture research since 1910. But he points out that grassland’s agriculture supple ments rather than replaces other farm production — for example, livestock production, with which it is inseparably linked. "Grassland agriculture,” he says, “under good management may equal or increase the produc tion of digestible nutrients, reduce materially the labor needed to grow them and lower the cost of supplying protein necessary to nourish animals.” There are many interesting and widely varying chapters, progress ing from the general to the more specific. The editor, Alfred Steff- erud, has summarized the book as separated into four parts. The first is an examination of grass as it applies to people anywhere with the emphasis on livestock and soils and conservation. Forage for live stock, the use and value of pas tures, grass and rotations, and range, as a major resource and ‘ ------- Technicians selecting male buffalo grass to secure pollen for. breeding to improve strains at the buffalo grass survey at Woodward, Okla. grass “for happier living” on the playing fields, lawns, highway shoulders and airfields. Other parts of the book are de voted to the uses, nature and iden tification of various grasses and finally there are detailed charts, tables, recommendations for seed- ings and mixtures. Scope of the topics is wide, for the subject involves not only the varying conditions of soil and cHmate, but also so cial conditions affecting the ten ure of land and the lives of the people, along with shifts In na tional policies and political trends. There is no more striking ex ample of how these purely external conditions affect the farmer than in England today, where a com plete change in that country’s ag riculture was brought about dur ing the war and continued since. The great parks, private estates, preserves and forests have been broken up under pressure to raise food which formerly was imparted. The general trends in America have been less obstructed by exter nal influences. '‘Grass” is a book for city- man as weU as farm er, and among the vast compilation of data resulting from experiment, record and research, there are even a few pages given to a panegyric whose poetic fervor makes up for jgjhat may be a lack of purely scientific back ground. I can’t help quoting from the ar ticle, “In Praise of Blue Grass,” by John Jam es Ingalls who was senator from Kansas from 1873 to 1891. It is reprinted from the Kan sas magazine in which it appeared in 1872, and has been widely quoted ever since. After describing the beauties of a ride through his “primeval win ter in Kansas," Ingalls describes Close up showing method of pollinating female buffalo grass flower with pollen from selected male strain. his descent into a valley where, he says, was created “the strange spectacle of June in January,” peculiar to his native state. "A sudden descent into the sheltered valley," be writes, "revealed an unexpect ed crescent of dazzling verdure, glittering like a meadow in early spring, unreal as an incantation, surprising as the sea to the soldiers of Zenopbon as they stood upon the shore and shouted rThidatta!’ It was Blue Grass, unknown in Eden, the finat triumph of nature, reserved to compensate her favorite offspring in the new Paradise of Kansas for the loss of the old upon the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates,”• • ♦ Is Truman Another Boy on Burning Deck? It may be just as well that Wash ington has not only its proverbially- unbearable weather, but that it has a political campaign as well to take its mind off more serious troubles. It started out as a rather dull campaign with the Republicans positive of victory and the Demo crats showing an overweening will ingness to get used to the idea ol looking for another job. But ever since Harry Tru man’s peppy speech at the Democratic convention, you fre quently run into a Democrat who actuaUy thinks his party has a chance in November.I One loyal adherent to the party of Jackson and Jefferson approached me with a theory that Truman had a very good chance of winning on the psychological basis. “You know,” he said to me, “deep down in the subconscious of every American is a' boy-on-the-buming deck complex.” (If you belong to the older generation, you probably recited Casabianca on assembly day at school): . . . the boy stood on the burning deck, Whence all but him bad fled; The flame that lit the battle?s wreck,Shone round him o’?r the dtad. I didn’t get it at first, but the explanation is simple and not il logical. There probably never has been a more outstanding example of a one-man show than. Harry Trum an’s performance at the Democratic convention. My friend went on: “Most Ameri cans at one time or another have pictured themselves as rising to the occasion, alone and unsupported, taking on all comers, swinging to the right and left regardless of the odds, holding the fort or storming the redoubt or saving the child whence all but him had fled.” He want on to say: “Ameri cans see this spunky little fight* er who wears a confident smUe when most of his colleagues have faces as long as a new- look skirt, and they imagine themselves in his place. “As any schoolboy who has studied psychiatry knows, there will be a transference displacing the affect from one person to another motivated by the unconscious iden tification of the voter with the boy on the burning deck and from the boy on the. burning deck to the Democratic candidate.” Quien sabe?

Um .tl.Phillipr RADIO'S MONEY PROBLEM The big radio question today is whether the melody being played by the Federal Communications com mission is “The Baloney Waltz,” “Doubletalk, How I Love Youl ” or "This Time I’m Leveling.”» It has (hang onto your hats!) dis covered that there are prize con tests on the air and that they are illegal under one of its own rules adopted 15 years ago and based on a United States postal law not far from 100 years old! And it says it is going to act to stop the give away programs now flooding America and developing a race of free mink coat, ice box, bungalow, and dough- bag collectors. In acting so late, the commis sion shows itself slower on the trigger than any contestants on give away programs. It has tak en it over a decade to answer tie simple question “Is your radio set a household fixture or a crap game?”* The commission declares that give away programs will be banned if: (I) The winners are required to fur nish any money or thing of value or to have in their possession any ad vertised product. (2) If winners are asked to answer questions the answer to which is given on any broadcast. (3) If the contestants are required to be listening on their radios. (4) If answering a phone or writing a letter is required.♦ That about covers everything from boxtops and mystery voices to slogans and song identifications. And if the FCC is on the level, it means it is abandoning its own “Doubletalk or Nothing” program, a feature shared by the radio sta tion owners.* Voice: “Didn’t the National Association of Broadcasters come out many months ago with their own code stating any broadcast designed to buy the radio audience by requiring it to listen in the hope of reward should be avoided? But did it raise a finger to enforce the ban? No prompting, please.”* The FCC announces that it will receive reactions from the radio stations. (AU radio stations glutted with jackpots will kindly subgiit their reactions in SO words or less, stating clearly why they like ap plesauce. AU letters remain the property of the FCC.' Ed. note.)* We shaU see what we shaU see. Despite all federal laws and com mission rules, radio constitutes the greatest coUection of raffles, lot teries, sweepstakes, bingo games and prize contests on earth. More people gamble on the airwaves in one night than at the race tracks and gambling houses in a year. You twist a dial with the same feeling you get when you pull the lever on a slot machine. Nothing is missing ex cept the three-plum symbol and the fin d in g noise. It has reached a point where a man tumiig in doesn’t know whether he is lisfening to a radio program or getting a key to Fort Knox.♦ The Federal Communications orchestra and the National Associa tion of Broadcasters brass band m il now play a selection. Listen carefully and see if you can identify it. If it turns out to be “I’m Sincere with You My Dear,” you win two jet planes, a three piece mink suit, $50,000 in fresh meat, six months fun in the U.

Some simply drain the poultry line and go back to carry ing water during the winter. Others, who dislike carrying water even more in the winter than they do in the summer, appear to have devised satisfactory ways of keeping their pressure w ater systems working no m atter what the thermometer reads. The result of one farm er’s idea is shown in the accompanying illus tration. It presents one of 16 water- ers fashioned from drain tiles, 2% feet high and 12 inches in diameter. Pie plates, suspended a few inches below the top of the tiles, are used for drinking purposes and water flows into them on a continuous, f i Ideal water heater for winter ' use can be installed at little cost, year-round basis. Ordinary sink drains, located below the plates, direct the overflow into a central waste system which serves the three-story poultry house. Waste water spills over a hill a short distance from the building. The steady flow of water through the supply pipes, plus the fact that alt such pipes are doubly protected by being located within convention al soil tiles, keeps them open all winter. To date, ice and snow have not retarded the waste outlet. The system’s 500-gallon supply tank is served by a two-horsepower elec tric motor. P ays to M echanize The mechanical age is paying dividends on the farm as well as in industry, says the Farm ers and M anufacturers Beet Sugar associa- S tion. A century ago 64 man-hours of labor were required to produce an acre of wheat, now less than 10 hours are needed. One hundred fifty years ago the labor of 19 farm workers was necessary to produce the food consumed by one person Uving in the city, now one worker can produce for four people living in the cities.

Farm P opulation Drops 10 P er Cent Since 1940 Farm population of the United States declined about three million persons, or 10 per cent, between the census of 1940 and the special estim ate as of January I, 1948. The latest farm population figure of 27,439,000, however, is more than two miUion larger than the total for January, 1945, when many farm residents w ere'in the armed forces or working in war plants, census reports show.

The Man for the Job Lesson for September 12, 1948 Dr. Furemnn H ISTORY KNOWS some men only by their nicknames. Stalin is a nickname, so was Charlemagne. And so is Barnabas, one of the best of the early Christ ians. The apostles n ick n am ed him “Barnabas” and the name stuck, for it means “Son of En couragement,” and Barnabas’ specialty w as en couraging people who badly neede it. Barnabas was not a brilliant man, perhaps not even ,a strong one, though he had an im pressive “front.” On a journey in the back districts the natives would take him for Zeus, king of aU the gods. But it was not his looks that were important, it was his big heart. When Saul was converted, there was an awkward situation when that young convert went back to Jerusalem. The little society of Christians there knew Saul for a tiger. They had suffered at his hands, they had seen their friends dragged off by his henchmen. So when Saul showed up among the very people he had terrified, when he not only showed up but claimed to be one of them, .no wonder they were frightened. AU but Barnabas. Somehow or other shall we say it was God’s Spirit in him?) Barnabas was not afraid. He took Saul the Terrible by the hand, he introduced him to the church leaders, he told them his Storyi he sponsored Saul as we would say.* * * An Eye for God A f t e r t h a t e x p e r i e n c e with Saul, Barnabas’ friends came to think of him as a man who could probably see the good in any man or situation if there was any good to be seen. So when the head quarters church in old Jerusalem heard of a novel sort of church down in Antioch, they sent this “Son of Encouragement” down to see what went on. It was certainly no church on the Jerusalem pattern; was it a good one, or even a genuine church at aU? Barnabas would know. And so he did. Other men could see the large number of church members in Antioch; others could give yon statistics about its rate of growth; others could tell you it was bi-racial, a daring experi ment then as now. Some ap plauded, some raised their eyebrows. But we read that Barnabas had eyes in his soul as well as in his head. What he saw, as he looked at that stirring new church with its new ways, was “the grace of God.” AU of us can see things on the sur face, we can count noses, we can make reports for the papers. But seeing underneath, seeing the grace of God (or the need of it)—that is not so easy. Wanted for every church: A Barnabas! Round Peg—Round Hole W HEN BARNABAS had taken stock at Antioch he' knew the place needed a man, and he knew the man for the place. Off he went across the Taurus mountains to Tar sus, where Saul was doing nothing particular, and he brought Saul to Tarsus and set him to work. Saul turned out to be, as Barnabas ex pected, the round peg for the round hole. That team was a “natural”—but only Barnabas would have thought of it. Paul fitted in with the church, too. A tireless worker, he was just the man for that vital growing con gregation. Getting the right people for the right jobs is stiU one of the big problems of the Christian church. Many a Sunday school class, for instance, now is withering on the stalk, only because the Sun day school superintendent has never found the right teacher.• * * The Hands of the Church T HE TIME came when Barnabas and Saul were sent out by that same Antioch church to be the first foreign missionaries ever deliber- ately sent out by any Christian church. The hands of the church were laid on them before they left. To this day, when a man is set apart, by ordination, for a particular work in Oie Christian church, hands are laid upon his head. This is more than an an tique ceremony, there is more than magic in it. The laying on of hands may mean different th in g s to different churches, but this at least it always means: The men so ordained are now the hands of the churches they represent.* • (Copyrighi by the (nternafioncri CouacU of rtlitfous Cducatioa oa behaii of 40 Protestant ^nom inations.

SEPTEMBER 8, .948 LO O K IN G A H E A D GEORGE S. BENSON Prcsiiirnl—Warding CdUgc Searcy. Jlrkausas "Aid" or Waste? Suppose your doctor should say, after having drained off about three quarts of your blood: “Why, my poor man, you look anemic. I’m sorry for you. Out of my well-known generosity I aw going to give you a half-pint of blood.” You wouldn’t consider his reas oning to make good sense. Yet, the backers of federal aid to education, arguing that “poorer” states are not able to support adequate educational ■programs within their borders, fall back on that sort of thinking. For the federal government to take from Arkansas $98 million a year in income taxes and then offer back $6 million in “aid” because of Arkansas’ poverty, just doesn’t make sense. If the federal government would elimi nate its present wasteful spending and reduce income taxes by only 10 per cent, that alone would be worth more to the "poorer” states than passing back to them this proposed “aid.” Operation: Wasteful It must be remembered that Wash ington has no money to give anybody. The federal government can hand out only that which it collects. It can only tax the states to get money with which to “aid” the states. We should remem ber, moreover, that such aid will al ways be weighted with bureaucrats and political hangers-on, to be paid for by the same states that get the “aid.” The local way is not only the respon sible way, it is also the economical way. The federal government has no rec ord for the economic operation of any thing. Should our public school system become federally controlled, I would definitely expcct it to become a waste ful operation. (Most of our Indians are educated in federal schools. The cost per student is several times greater than in our regular schools.) A fed erally operated school system would show the same waste and inefficiency that is typical of federal operations in general. How to Become Poorer We have a national debt so mon strous already that there is mounting concern whether we shall be able to meet present obligations and maintain economic stability. Therefore, I look upon federal economy and efficiency as an issue of prime importance. The same thinking that begs for federal aid to education can be allowed to wreck the government by adding fi nancial burden upon financial burden, when the treasury has more debt than anything else. As an Arkansas citizen, I am fully < aware of our own educational prob- ! letns, in one of these “poorest” states. ; Yet, we have tripled our per capita I income since 1939. Scores of new in dustries have been started in the state, and our agriculture is prosperous. We can support an adequate school system. What Arkansas needs most is a suit able reorganization of our outmoded system, not federal aid as a crutch for all present weaknesses. What America actually needs today is deep moral purpose in her education, rather than a more extravagant sys tem. Our educational advantages have increased greatly in the last 40 years, but the juvenile crime rate has in creased just as fast. There are those who would make federal aid the answer to juvenile delinquency, a problem which goes back largely to home and parents. Yet, the moral purpose that America needs so much suffers a real set-back every time we hand individual freedom to federal bureaucrats. Man’s Worst Enemy Kecantly at a gathering of literary and theatrical personalities, a certain well-known producer was holding forth on the countless mistakes he had made in his business and how much money they had cost him. “I declare,” he announced, “I’m my o™ worst enemy.” ‘‘Not while I’m here,” . came a re joinder from the back of the room.

In 1776 a Scotchman fam ed Mat thew Boulton risked $200,000 of his savings to help Jam es Watt develop a new device known as a steam engine. In 1948, the estimated cap ital expenditures of the nation’s chief railroads (the railroads grew because of Watt’s invention, though now steam is not the only motive power) approaches one billion dol lars! Our Class I railroads expect to spend $319,958,000 during this quarter of 1948. How our nation finances its in dustry is an interesting story. The American way of doing this ex plains the high standard of living we enjoy today. Not all nations do it as we do. In some countries every thing is owned by the government. The government does everything. Of course the pri-.ple foot the bill, but in these totn Iitarian countries rewards never come. In America anyone has the opportunity cf in vesting and sharing in the progress of industry. You May Share Critics of “capitalism” , who say that government is the only agency big enough to do things that have to be done in a progressive eco nomy, really miss some important points. They just don’t know their American system. Did you know that over fifty million Americans pool their savings to provide the tools for workers? Perhaps you are one of them. These men and women have saved up something for a “rainy day” and, meantime, have invested it. Perhaps you have a share in industry you did not know aiout. If you have life insurance, it is quite likely that your insurance company invests the premiums you pay to provide tools for industry. Savings banks likewise invest de posits. In this way, the “capital’' funds that our people own and in vest actually turn the wheels of industry. Unfettered Growth Then too, industry itself saves and reinvests. Evepr live company or business will find it advisable to take a portion of its income and “ plow it back under” right in the business. Of money that every in dustry pays out "for use of tools”, only a comparatively small amount goes to the thrifty people who really own the tools. Most of it goes to buy the actual tools. Industry has constant need for investments for expansion and new facilities. I say, let the people provide the saving's to make our industry grow and grow. That way there’s no ceiling on progress. No limit to the standard of living. Let us f%- place old-models, invent new ma chines, develop new methods. Our population is growing, and our needs will be tremendous in the fu ture. We can continue to be great consumers, if we keep a system that permits us to be great pro ducers. Right now, there is an important reason why we should save, and save to invest. We must stop adding dollars that could be savings to the inflation stream, bidding up prices and damaging our economy The railroads represent just one in dustry that is calling for capital. There are many other industries in which savings may be put to work. Under the American system, there will continue to be more jobsv more pay, and more security as' well as opportunity for all.

Suddenly the major’s huge arm lashed out and jerked the rifle away fiom the sol dier. “You’re one devil of a soldier,” the r.:ajor barked. “Here you are—ren- completely he!;:!3ss.” “Ah don’t Icnow about that,” thn younjt mountaineer v-.torted, snd tin major found himself looking down th.: barrel of a .SR revolver which had un accountably appeared from the sol- rier’s shirt. “AU ah kin say, major, is I iiat you’d better hand over that riflo. It ain’t loaded—but this pistol is.” BEWARE OF THE DOG The three-year-old and his father were being pushed toward the rear of the rapidly filling elevator. A kindly woman turned to the dad and said, "Aren’t you afraid your little boy will be squashed?” “Not a chance, lady,” answered the father. “He bites.” Ch-a-h-h-h-ming Doctor: “Wait a minute, I didn’t tell you to say ah-h-h.” Patient: “I know you didn’t. I just saw the nurse.” As the Crow Flies Wife, angrily: “And I suppose you expect me to believe that you came straight home from the office?” Husband: “Sure did; just like the crow flies.” Wife: “Yes, so I see; stopping fre quently for a little corn.” Misiuiderstanaing Asylum inmate (to man driving by with a load of fertilizer)—What are you going to do with that? Driver—Put it on my strawber ries.’’ A. I.—That’s funny. We put sugar on our strawberries. Raise in Salary Under the community-property law a husband is entitled to half his income, which is a big increase for most m arried men. ‘MARCHE MILITA1RE’ A little piano pupil who had learned her music lesson very well was told she could choose her next piece. “Oh, please, may I learn ‘Marsh mallow Tear’?” she asked. “I don’t believe I know that,” an swered the teacher. “Could you hum a few measures of it for me?” The child began to sing, and pres ently the teacher recognized the melody of Schubert’s “Marche Mili- taire.” Notice of Sale of Land Under and by virtue of the power of sale contained in a cer tain Deed of Trust Executed by Hubert Chunn and wife Lessie Chunn, to B.

Tonque and Tem- per Rev. W. E. IaeDhoor. HUh Point. N. C.- R4 Tongue and tem per is a master, Like a m ighty tyrant king, That will wreck and bt Ing disaster, Or a wound, or bruise, or string, If God’s Spirit, meek and holy, doesn’t govern and control. And there isn’t grace that’s lowly Deep within the life and soul. Tongue and temper is the reason Many crimes have cursed the earth; Nations fight, and men of treason Sell the land that gave them birth. Yes, through temper, tongue and spirit That are foul with many sins, Man reveals his little merit, Showing why he never wins. Tongue and temper murders daugh. ters, Murders husbands, wives and sons; Murders sweethearts, kills end slaughters, And our sense both shocks and stuns, Till we’re made to weep andwond. er How such cruelty can be— Why, O why, men rage like thunder When from such they could be free! Tongue and temper breaks so many Precious lies within the home, Never bringing good to any Where we dwell or whero we roam; Yes, the temper stirred to action, And the tongue with cutting speech. Oftentimes can bring a faction. That is grievous to each. Tongue and temper wins no battles That are blessed and sublime, For where anger rolls and tattles Men to. greatness do not climb; Neither do they bless tbeir nation, Nor receive God’s holy grace, But in life thev take their station, Witb no sunshine in the face. - Tongue and temper tells the story Of the loss of many gems, And the tnlngs that would bring glory— Even honor's disdains; So we want to tell our readers. If you’d go life’s upward way And be classed as noble leaders-. Take Christ in your soul today.

Seconij Thought Wife—“ Erank, will you match a piece of silk for m^on your way home from the office?” Frank (with a bright idea)—"0, do you mean at the counter where that pretty blonde works? The girl with the big, soulful eyes and—” Wife—"On second thought. I won,t bother you. It’s not fair of me to ask you to do errands for me after your Iona day's work ” R E A D T H E A D * Along With the Wawi Boomerang "At her request you gave up drinking?” "Yes.” “And you stopped smoking for the same reason?” "I did.” "And-it was for her that you gave up dancing, card parties and bil liards?” "Correct.”“Then why didn’t you m arry her?” “Well, after all this reforming, I decided I could do better.” NO SALE WOMAN'S “I’m in charge of the office to day,” said the middle-aged woman. "What can I do for you?" The farmer hesitated. “You sure this is the Woman’s Exchange?” “Of course.” “And you’re the woman?” "That’s right. What can I do for you?” “Nothin’,” said the farmer. “I guess I’ll keep Semanthy, after all." One Too Many A -farmer instructed his hired man, who had been with him for a number of years, to write on each egg the date laid and the breed of the hen. Pretty soon the hired man resigned. Farm er — Why do you want to leave? Hired Man — I’m through. I’ve done all sorts of jobs, but I draw the !line on bein’ secretary to a bunch 0’ hens. Hard on the Throat Tommy had been away from school' for some days and returned with his throat in red flannel. He presented a note; “Please do not let Tommy learn any more French. His throat is so soar that he can hardly speak Eng lish." THIS ONE STOPPED HIM A certain inspector, noted for his fault-finding propensities, was in specting a newly completed portion of a transcontinental - highway. He grumbled at everything. The crown was not high enough, the shoulder too steep, the ditches nut deep enough, and so on. The foreman bore it all patiently. Then he straightened up to his full height, and looking the inspector in the eye, asked: “How is she for length?” Radar Port for Isle of Man Radar now guides the way for the half mllion British, Scottish and Irish vacationists who pour onto the Isle of Man every season. Douglas, the holi day island’s port, has equipped its har bor to the first radar-controlled anch orage In the British Isles. Next In line Is Liverpool, great English port where most of Man’s visitors embark on the 80-mlie IriBh sea voyage to the “Monte Carlo of the North.” The harbor of Douglas is often fogbound, and In the height of the season crowded steamers are arriving and departing almost con stantly, says the National Geographic society. Shore-based radar and shore- to-ship radio will help move this traf fic safely. Soccer Played as Early at. 1820 First variety of fotball known to the United States was- soccer. It was played spasmodically, and not accord ing to established rules, as early as the 1820’s. The first regulation game was In 1869, between Princeton and Rutgers. But late In the 1870’s, the players proceeded to blend soccer with rugby and the result, with inspired changes, became football of the Amer ican species of today. The love of soc- oer continued, despite the tidal wave which swept America’s own brand ot football Into popularity, soccer waa featured for a time as a professional sport for amateurs, played In the hours not devoted to regular occupation, and was a favorite at a number of colleges. New Chemical Weapons To Combat Weed Pests Farm ers and householders wag ing war on crab grass and other troublesome weeds and grasses cnn look for help from two new weap ons. The weed-killing chemicals bear the jaw-breaking names of sodium isopropyl xanthate and allyl mixed chlorophenyl carbonate. They have been tested by federal and state agricultural experiment stations “with excellent results against many weeds and grasses not eco nomically or satisfactorily con trolled by other chemicals or prac tices,” the announcement said. They are being used in active experimen tal programs but are not yet avail able commercially. The second-named herbicide is the one that combats crab grass, as well as barnyard, orchard and blue grass, cattails and similar plants. It has a hormone-like action which attacks the root struc'.ure of the weed and arrests growth immedi ately by preventing seed develop ment, even though no effect is ap parent on the surface for the first week or longer. It also is used effec tively in combination with 2,44) against some broad-leaved weeds not affected by 2,4-D used alone. The sodium isopropyl xanthate is described as a “complete killer” which should be applied directly to crop plants. It shows promise for pre-emergence tneatment, in spray or dust form, and has been used with success iii the chemical weed ing of growing crops. Apples Cuntain Many Important Food Elements The main nutritive value of the apple consists in its content of sol uble solids, mainly sugar, to the ex tent of about 13 to 16 per cent, ac cording to C. R. Fellers, Massachu setts State college. Ripe apples con tain little or no starch. The acid of the apple is maljc, an easily digest ible organic acid which leaves no acid residue in the body. Apples may be freely eaten without fear of “acidosis.” Apples are particularly rich in pectin content as evidenced by the ease with which apple jelly is made. This pectin contains from 5 to 16 per cent of uronic acid, a substance concerned with mucine formation in the body’s mucus mem branes. Pectin has been reported beneficial in many ways such as in intestinal ailments and in absorp tion of toxic substances from the in testine. During the war, pectin prep arations were used extensively in surgery to promote healing. Apples contain small but useful quantities of minerals such as iron, phos phorus, sodium, potassium, magne sium and iodine. Thus, apples pro vide considerable nutritive value in addition to their aesthetic and appe tite appeal. Cities Launch Campaign To Reduoe Noise Level Quiet is the watchword in many cities currently acting to reduce noise, according to a Kiwanis magazine survey. Schenectady, N. Y., recently passed an ordinance branding sound trucks a nuisance and banning them fiom citv streets. The New Jersey supreme court meanwhile upheld a Trenton ordi nance forbidding broadcasting of speeches or music from , sound trucks. The ordinance had been con tested as an infringement of the right of free speech. In Sacramento, Calif., an ordi nance had been proposed to pro hibit sound amplifying and broad casting from both airplanes and sound trucks, and to forbid adver tising from motor vehicles on city streets. Miami’s anti-noise ordi nance now prohibits loudspeakers playing in the open air or in hotel patios. A ban on “unnecessary loud noises" which interfere with the ordinary comfort of residents has been imposed in Sylacauga, Ala. Of 75 cities with anti-noise regulations, 67 report success in lowering the noise level through consistent en forcement efforts, and 14 report re duction of the number of traffic ac cidents following enactment of anti noise ordinances. Hottest Spice Family More than 50,000 tons of spices are consumed annuaUy in the United States alone and the most popular spice is black'pepper which was discovered as an unattractive wild vine in the' jungles of the Malay peninsula. Both black and white pepper come from the same plant— the white comes from the less pep pery, inner parts of the berry. Hun dreds of other types of peppery, hot plants are much hotter to the taste and easier to grow but the popular ity of black pepper on the modern table remains unchallenged since long before Columbus set out to find a faster route to the spice-bearing East. A RARE STEAK Farmer: “You can’t go wrong on this mare, sir. She’s sound, gentle, a good worker and a fine BaddIe horse.” City Slicker: “What I want to know, is she tender?” ------------ S- Sufferin’ Cats To the woman lecturer the rapt at tention of the little man in the third row asile seat was flattering, but a, little disconcerting. She had learned: from long experience that a listener sometimes weighs the words of a lec turer with extra care in the hope of finding something with which to de stroy him. Nevertheless the speaker continued her brave protest against the unfor tunate fate of womankind. “For centuries,” she railed, “women have been misjudged and mistreated. They have been enslaved, humiliated, exploited, ridiculed. They have suf fered in a million different ways.” Suddenly the little man in the third row aisle seat challenged: “But there is one way, madam, in which women never have and never will suffer.” “And how is that, sir?” the speaker angrily demanded. The little man surveyed the audi ence carefully and, making certain that he had their undivided attention, he re plied: “They have never suffered in silence.” Making "Decent Citizens" Of Dogs with Urge to Kili it Is not difficult to break farm dogs of the habit of killing sheep or poultry, according to scientific reports. Veterinarians who have studied this problem say that a psychological pro cedure Is the simplest and most effect ive means of dealing with such cases. They explain that the killing habit is r "conditioned reflex"’. This reflex can be inhibited by repeating the condi tioned stimulus, which In this case is the presence of sheep or poultry, sev eral times without allowing the reflex to proceed further along Its accustom ed course. For example, if a Chlcken- Ivillingr dog is surrounded by chickens yet restrained so that it cannot attack them, the stimuli of the sight, smell and sounds of chickens eventually will cease to suggest killing. When the dog is treed after a few weeks of close as sociation with the birds, It no longer wrill be Interested In destroying them. The usual procedure is to confine ei ther the dog or the livestock In a wire- enclosed pen, allowing the dog to be in the same area with the stock. For the first few days, the dog will bark, drool, snap and rush at the wire fence, but within a period of weeks it will become less concerned and finally will pay no attention to the animals. Then, when allowed free association with Its for mer “enemies.” the dog will not molest them. This principle has been applied suc cessfully on farms where poultry and sheep are kept, but investigators cau tion that it may not apply In all cases and that condition* of extreme ex citement may cause a recurrence of the killing habit.- Monkeys Make Good Showing In Hisrh Altitude Researcb Yale university physiologists have demonstrated for the first time that it s possible to epose a monkey to an al titude of over 14 miles In a pressure chambei and bring him out alive. This report was made at a meet ing of the aviation physiology section of the American Physiological society by Dr. Samuel Gelfen. The research, although performed on animals, has significance for high al titude fliers and airplane passengera Out of all the monkeys wbicb were suddenly exposed to altitudes ranging from 70,000 to 75,000 feet In decom pression chamber tests, only one died. In this instance there were other con tributory causes. . The monkeys taken to this extreme ly high altitude—which In nature has a temperature of about 65-70 degrees below zero Farenhelt—were returned to sea level Immediately at a “free I all” rate of almost 200 miles per hour. This is comparable to a man falling out of a plane at a high altitude and plunging earthwards without opening a parachute. It took almost five min utes to bring the monkeys back to sea level pressures. Previous experiments had been made on rats, but the monkey, which is an animal closest to man, had never been decompressed to 75,000 feet. Amazing ly enough, the monkeys withstood the shock more readily than the rats, which experienced a 50 per cent mor tality in experiments.

Social Security Benefits Must Be Claimed Or They Are Lost. Yon, who have been reading this column each week, may say to yourself, ‘why does she keep repeating the above statement? The answer is that persons are continuing to ' lose benefits simply because they do not file their applications. As long as your editor agrees with me that the need for emphasizing this fact ex- , ists, I shall keep repeating it. Here are three reasons why peo pie fail to claim their benefits. Don’t make make these mistakes: "Reason 1, Sbe didn’t know her rights. A young widow with two children Jost $600 in monthly pay ments because she delayed her claim She hadn't realized that the weekly social security deduc tions from her husband’s p a y bought insurance for bis family. Reason 2. Sbe thought Old-Age and Survivors Insurance was char ity. A widow, aged 68, lost $900- tbree years’ pavmebts. She de. laved her ciai.. because of the mis taken belief that old-age and sur vivors iusuaance payments and a form of government charity. She, didn’t realize that her husband bad earned these payments by working under social security. Reason 3. He thought running his own business after retirement disqualified him A worker who retired trom bis regular job at age 65 and started bis own business Iosi £240 in monthly payments. He didn’t know that under the taw a retired worker can qualify fo r monthly social security payments even though he is operating his own business. To protect social security bene fit riahts, write or visit your social security office at age 65 . if you have worked in covered employ ment, or when a worker iu your family dies.

W EEK LY N E W S A N A L Y SIS- II. S--Russia Events Reach Climax; Moscow Parley Continues Uneasily; Soviets Sever Consular Relations -By Bill Schoentgen, WNU Staff Writer- (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those of I Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of ibis newspaper.) D is c u s s io n THE AX WAS THERE R U SSIAN S: Climactic Virtually every avenue of public thought in the U. S. was teeming with Russians, shadows of Russians and a few Red convertibles. There was a feeling, however, that the international commotion had reached its climax and was ready to start subsiding, partly be cause public interest, flagellated into a state of high excitement, couldn’t stand the stress and strain of it all much longer. Nevertheless, events having to do with Russia remained for the time being, at least, reasonably climac tic: The Moscow talks were ready either to pay off or break down; Russia had broken off consular re lations with the U. S.; Mrs. Oksana Kasenkina, the window - jumping Russian schoolteacher, had told the story of how she had been strong- armed. Moscoiv In the Kremlin, where the three western ambassadors were trying to pound out some kind of tentative basis for negotiations with the So viet Union, the Russians were play ing their familiar game of hit-and- run. U. S. Ambassador Walter Bedell Smith, British Representative Frank Roberts and French Ambassador Yves Chataigneau had been drudg ing through a series of meetings with the implacable V. M. Molotov, Soviet foreign minister. Molotov, as usual, was hard, tough, adamant in his adherence to current Soviet policy on the Berlin and German problems. No. prog ress was made; the three western representatives were dispirited, al though they kept to their chore. The word was whispered about that this conference might break up in total failure. Then came a break, or so it ap peared. Prem ier Stalin would meet again with the three envoys. In the ensuing discussions with Stalin hopes again were raised that the western powers might succeed in at least partially lifting the Berlin blockade and perhaps effect an area of agreement that could be used for a subsequent top-level meeting to iron out some of the m ajor East- West differences. But there were some who still could see the ax on the peace table. Somehow, there was a fimiliar pat tern behind these negotiations that went something like this: After Molotox had subjected his fellow conferees to hour after hour of his case-hardened refusals to come to terms, attempting by those tactics to wear his diplomatic op ponents down, the scene was set for Stalin's return. Stalin came on with - his air of geniality and good will, apparently not only willing but eager to reach common ground. His attitude was so manifestly different from Molo tov’s that hopes again soared. There was the danger. Lulled into optimism, the western envoys might be trapped into making concessions that should not be made. This same kind of Molotov-to-Stalin play had worked before. Hit the Road Jacob H. Lomakin, Soviet con sul general in New York, had con ducted himself improperly and dis creditably in the affair of the Rus sian schoolteacher, Mrs. Oksana Watch That Credit Prospective home buyers who might plunge beyond their means simply because down payments are lower under the new housing law have been warned by government housing experts to avoid that trap. “Our only worry,” one expert said, “is that the lower down pay ments will encourage people to buy homes they can’t afford. When you reduce the down payment, the monthly payments are more.” Kasenkina, the U. S. state depart ment pointed out as it ordered him out of the country. It ’was a sensational turn of events. In a note to the Soviet em bassy the state department asserted that Lomakin had, in effect, misled his own government with regard to the Kasenkina case so that the pro tests which the Soviets made to the U. S. were “based on misinforma tion.” In addition, the note charged that the consul general had “hindered the investigation of the competent police officials by refusing to al low them to interview Mrs. Kasen kina” while she was under control of the Soviet consul. Then, even as Lomakin was pack ing his bags and preparing to leave the country, Russia countered sharply by formally severing con sular relations with the U. S. and repeating is accusations of bad faith. < That seemed to prove that Loma kin’s actions in the Kasenkina af fair were not so much the expres sion of his individual initiative as they were a direct reflection of Kremlin policy. However, no one was worrying too much about the breaking off of consular relations. The move did not mean that diplomatic relations were severed. Soviet consular activities in the U. S. were limited to arranging for mutual trade and travel between the two nations. Since there is prac tically no trade or travel exchange taking place, the presence or ab sence of a consul wouldn’t make *oo much difference. To Escape Lying weak and ashen-faced in her hospital bed in New York, Mrs. Oksana Kasenkina finally got around to telling the story of why she leaped from the third-story win dow of the Soviet consulate. “I jumped to escape, not to kill myself,” she said. She said that her “rescue” from the Tolstoy foundation’s Reed farm was not a “rescue but an arrest,’ engineered by the Russian consul- general. She did not want to go back to Russia. Although she loves her people, she stated that “I don’t agree with the policies of Josef Stalin. I cannot agree with the regime in the Soviet.” VIEWPOINTS: .Religious It couldn’t be called schismatic: It was thoroughly democratic. In such a way delegates to the first assembly of the World Council of Churches might have assessed the first two addresses which of ficially opened the historic sessions in Amsterdam. John Foster Dulles, U. S. lay lead er in many religious activities and internationalist-minded statesman, and Czechoslovakia’s Joseph L. Hromadka of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren, speak ing in a section discussion on “The Church and International Disor der,” between them managed to strip much of the camouflage from the growing philosophical and spir itual rift separating the East and West. Total result of Dulles’ and Hro- madka’s addresses, taken together, was not to presage a religious split between the two blocs of nations but rather to define the problems, at the root of current international disorders for those who are cou rageous enough to attack them with spiritual weapons instead of guns. DUUjES . . . “Peace can never be stabilized except by institutions that seek to reflect moral law and that respect the dignity of the indi vidual. And the present methods of communism are incompatible with peaceful change. “Collective action may at times be required, pursuant to the Unitec Nations charter, to protect mem ber states or individual human be ings in their charter rights. “Those who believe in moral law and human dignity must be con cerned to make social institutions reflect those ideals.” HROMADKA . '. . The world is seeing “the end of western suprem acy within the realm of internation al order. “Now, three years after World War H, the western man hasn’t yet recovered and is losing more and more the last remnants of his world leadership.” He “hasn’t much to offer along the lines of moral, philosophical or spiritual leadership.” (Editor’s Note — While Drew Pearson is on vacation, the Washington Merry-Go-Round is being written by his old part ner, Robert S. Allen.) Ace in Berlin Battle 'T 'H E U. S. has a trumping ace up its sleeve in the fateful battle of Berlin. While nothing has been said about it publicly, it is certain now that the Allied zones of the city can be amply supplied by airlift through the winter. That includes both fuel and food. Already, the spectacular air lift is laying down 4,030 tons daily of these supplies. A mini mum of 4,500 tons is required. This figure will be definitely at tained by October I, under pres ent U. S. and British plans. By that date, the necessary trans port planes, personnel, and ground facilities will be in operation to ensure a delivery of at least 4,500 tons of supplies every day regard less of weather conditions. The program calls for the U. S. to transport 3,300 tons and the British 1,200 tons. W ashington D 1 9 CSU Mon Is Riding Life Cycle Toward His Destruction By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. WASHINGTON.—Today we have two visitors whom I met re cently at the Smithsonian institution, Mrs. Neanderthaler (her husband wasn’t available) and Mr. Cro-Magnon. They have come a long way. The Neanderthalers lived about 25,000 years ago—but what’s a few thousand years among friends—or relatives? I doubt that the Neanderthalers are relatives of ours—and I’m not sorry. Wry lest When it enacted the Euro pean recovery program, con gress wrote into the law an un witting wry jest on W. AverelI Harriman. The gangling former secretary of commerce is am bassador-at-large in Europe in the administration of the act. His official title, as specifically des ignated by congress, is “United States special representative.” The initials of that title are U.S.S.R.—which also stands for the Union of Soviet Socialist Re publics. Baukhage Farm income High Despite the tapering off of grain . prices, total farm er income this year will approximate 1947’s record of $30,500,000,000. Following the commodity-mar- ket break last spring, govern ment experts were fearful of a marked slump in farm er in come. The fears were needless. Preliminary statistics show that grower income will be a little less, if any, than last year’s record- smashing peak. That’s good news in the national economic picture. It means no fall ing off in the vital segment of farm er buying. And when the farmer buys freely, industrial activity stays high.. * • • Exudes Optimism Adverse polls and political re ports are having no effect on Presi dent Truman. He continues to ex ude complete confidence that he will win. When a senate friend called at the White House, the President lost no time in asking him to make some campaign speeches for him. “It’s going to be tough going,” the senator said. “It’s always tough going in a fight,” Mr. Truman retorted cheerfully. “But I want to tell you one thing. I can still beat Dewey. I can take him, and I’m going to take him. He’s got some surprises in store for him.” Comment by Rep. Edward He bert, rabid Dixiecrat from Louisi ana; “The trouble with Harry Tru m an is that he takes his own ad vice.” Secret Ambition President Truman has a secret ambition. He revealed it to Tappan Greg ory and Joseph Stecber, Ameri can Bar association officials, dur ing their White House call. “You know,” the President said, “I studied law two years. Then I helped make law for a number of years as a senator. Now,' as Chief Executive, I am enforcing the law. “In fact,” he added wistfully, “I feel qualified to be admitted to the bar. I think I’d make a pretty good lawyer.” OUTPUT: Upshoot Total national output of goods and services, stimulated by inflationary forces which have been growing stronger since, early summer, hit a record-breaking rate of 248.2 bil lion dollars in the second quarter of the fiscal year, the commerce department has reported. That figure is 4.4 billion dollars above the peak reached in the first three months of this year, acccrd ing to the department. Upsetting the Applecart CIO chiefs have inside word that the indictment of the 12 Communist party leaders has thrown a monkey wrench into Leftists’ plans to set up a national labor organization. The secret scheme was to pull certain communist - controlled unions out of the CIO as the nu cleus for a new outfit. Among these unions are the electrical workers, the office and profes sional workers; the mine, mill and smelter workers and the to bacco and agricultural workers. This planned “walkout” was in line with Communist tactics in oth er countries, where separate labor organizations are being set up. But apparently the conspiracy indictments raised hob with the scheme in the U. S. and they have pulled in their horns. They lived early in the Old Stone S’ age, and died without leaving any known heirs, assigns or descendents —which may be just as well for the rest of us who might have inherited some of their characteristics. They were sub-humans—stocky folks- but they couldn’t take it. They died out. Now Mr. Cro-Magnon was a dif ferent proposition. He was a su- .. perior human J t t ' and I wish he, js i wer.e a relative because he was really superior to us—better body, better brain. If he’d only lasted, what a career he would have had in H ollyw ood— a n d what he might have done for us! He might have saved us. He may still. I’ve been read- in g tw o n ew books—“Our Plundered Planet,” by Fairfield Osborne and “Road to Survival,” by William Vogt. Our friend Neanderthaler proba bly managed to stick around 200,000 years or so before his environment or his neighbors finished him off. Today we are rapidly chang ing our environment, and un less we cease destroying our sources of food and shelter, we shall soon destroy ourselves, as our sub-human friend was de stroyed. We know that there are two things which chiefly distinguish man from the animal: The way he has de veloped the use of his hands and the way his brain works. But our hands, at the levers of machines, conceived by our brains, have so disturbed the cycle of nature, have done such terrible things to all forms of life, that they may prove our undoing— if they don’t blow us into atomic eternity, first! Forgetting atomic destruction, let’s look at some others. We are very good at repro ducing. In three centuries the population of the earth has in creased almost five times. In the seventeenth century there were 400 million people. There are 2,000 million today. Five times as many mouths to feed. Osborne says: “If one takes four billion acres, representing an area of land estimated as now available tor cultivation, it means that there are less than two acres per capita. Contrasted -with this is a generally accepted computation that two and one-half acres of land of average productivity are required to provide even a minimum adequate diet for each person.” Think of that: It takes two and one-half acres to feed you properly. There are now only two acres avail- age depth of the topsoil on the earth is about one foot. It is estimated that it takes nature, under favorable con ditions, from 300 to 1,000 years to build one inch of that vital source of our food, clothing and shelter. “Yet,” he says, “what may have taken a thousand years to build can be, and in some places has been, removed by erosion in a year, or even in a single day.” Erosion. That comes from over use, wrong use or removal of pro tecting grasses and trees. We over- grazed the plains to get quick money for beef, mutton and wool. We plowed fields of grass, left them ex posed, and you remember what hap pened—the dust bowl. We slaugh tered the forests and reaped the. yearly devastating floods. Today our food and shelter runs down the mud died rivers to be lost in the ocean. And animal life? We killed off millions of wild animals on this continent. We replaced them, to some extent, by domes tic animals. But we are break ing the magic cycle of life there, too, for the life-giving proper ties of most of our domestic animals do not return to the soil as did the bones and bodies of wild life that lived their course, died and were enveloped in their mother earth. Sheep and cattle are shipped today to slaughter houses where what Iit- T ■ M i MRS. NEANDERTHALER . . . they cotddn’t take i t . . . able. So you can see why there are such food shortages around the world. Osborne goes on: “The relation between land-health and health of human beings is actually no more than a delicate aspect of the delicate complex aspect of all life.” The cycle of life—the life in the soil that feeds and clothes our own life—is a part of the single whole which contributes to the fruitfulness of the earth. I haven’t space here to go through the whole list of crimes that man has committed in the race to break that cycle—to destroy the fruitful ness of the earth—that fruitfulness upon which his own existence de pends. Take the most striking ex ample—the topsoil. Topsoil. When that goes, we go with it. Osborne, as I mentioned in this space last week, estimates the aver- MR. CliO-MAGNON . . . spark oi something else. . . tie is left disappears in disposal plants or goes back to the ocean. We are killing the soil. Gradually removing it and the tiny animal and plant cells it contains, and thus de stroying the potential for reproduc ing the tiny living organisms in the top soil which are a part of the re lationship of all living things. I haven’t space to go on, but I don't want to leave on a too-de pressing note. It’s true, that our friends, Mr. and Mrs. Neanderthal- er, the sub-human folk with the lit tle brain, couldn’t take it. But we can hope that his successor, Mr. Cro-Magnon, who had a better brain than we have, passed some of it on to us, with the spark of something else that made him lift his chin a little from the clod. “We have been taught to lift ours higher, to the heavens. There’s hope up there—and inspiration—and with in ourselves the power, too, if we know how to use it.* * * More Trees On the W ay American farmers will have more trees to plant next year than ever before m our history. State nurseries plan to grow 368,- 976,551 Ui 1947-48, according to a national survey just completed , by the American Forest Products In dustries, Inc., of Washington, IX C. Most of these trees will be sold to farmers and other landowners at cost, while many will be given to farmers free of charge by forest industries who purchase them from state nurseries. This forest seedling production, however, will be increased substan tially by federal and private indus try nurseries over the United States, pushing the total to approximately 400 million seedlings. Yet these figures, representing the planting of three trees for every man, woman and child in the coun try, indicate statistically that seed ling production still is not enough to fill the demand by woodland own ers and other citizens interested in growing trees. And while they still do not meet the tremendous demand, if all these seedlings were planted 1,000 to an acre they would form a verdant, mile-wide belt stretching from New York to Chicago. The record in tree planting is matched only by the volume of new wood now growing on America’s forest lands. Total growth now ex ceeds 13.3 billion cubic feet of wood every year—greatest volume ever recorded in surveys made by tin- federal government. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT BUSINESS & INVEST. OPPOB.

C. m Wheat Yield Boosted Through Fertilization G ains in Indiana T ests Exceed Seven B ushels Fertilizing wheat paid dividends In crop increases averaging seven to nine and one-half bushels per acre, Purdue university research men revealed in announcing results of 1947 studies conducted in 15 Indi ana counties. Wheat yields increased seven bushels per acre when fertilizer applications aver aged from 150 to 2 0 0 pounds per acre. When the plant food treat ment was boosted to 300 to 400 pounds per acre, average production gains of nine and one-half bushels were ob tained. D em onstrations with wheat started on various soil types last fall showed somewhat similar results, ac cording to the Pur due research men. When 165 pounds of 0 -12-12 was ap plied on six south ern Indiana upland soils, increases of five bushels per acre resulted. When the applica tion was doubled, yield increases averaged seven bushels per acre. "Applications of 300 to 350 pounds of 3-12-12 are being recommended for wheat on practically all upland silt or clay loam soils and for sandy loams,” says a statement by the Purdue agronomy depart ment. “If the 3-12-12 cannot be obtained, then 2-12-6 is a good sub stitute for the wheat crop itself. The additional potash in the 3-12-12, however, is especially important for the clover and corn crops fol lowing the small grain.” M achinery Is Revam ping F anning in Cotton Belt Nearly a million tractors today are in action on farm s in' the 18 cotton-producing states, saving time and labor in nearly every phase of cotton production. The invasion of machinery into the South’s white cotton fields is elim inating the back-breaking task of producing the cotton crop. Man’s mechanical helpers achieve in a few hours what formerly took days of costly human labor. For example, the flame cultivator, at tached to a tractor, removes grass and weeds from the field at one- tenth the former cost. An experiment in the coastal plains area of North Carolina showed that while 118 man hours are required to produce an acre of cotton by the old man-mule meth ods, use of two-row tractor equip ment, mechanical choppers, flame cultivators and machine ,pickers cuts the man-hour requirements to 19.7 per acre. Machines capable of harvesting a bale of cotton in slightly more than an hour are now a reality instead of a remote possibility. While the average hand-picker gathers about 15 pounds of seed cotton an hour, a single mechanical picker in the same field harvests about 1,500 pounds in 2 hours, 20 minutes. Thus, the mechanical harvester accomplishes the work of 40 to 50 human pickers. Internal P arasites Loot Farm ers of H uge Toll Few criminals ever dream of committing a 125 million dollar rob bery. But that’s the amount in ternal parasites steal from the U. S. livestock industry every year. Be cause the parasites are hidden, the farm er never will see the thieves at work. However, they keep right on causing losses day and night. Parasites cause diseased animals and poultry to eat more grain and other feeds than healthy stock eat. They stunt the growth of young animals arid sometimes kill them. Affected animals generally bring lower prices when shipped to m arket. Internal parasites can be con trolled. Phenothiazinet carbon tet rachloride, hexachlorethane, sodium fluoride and carbon disulfide are used to fight certain types of para sites. The advice of a local veteri narian should be secured to de termine the proper method of treatment. Spoilage of Stored G rain H inges on B in's Condition * Grain can be stored almost in definitely with little deterioration in farm-type bins — .those that hold 1,000 to 3,000 bushels—if the bins are kept dry, cool, clean and free of insects, according to the USDA. For control of insect infestation, chief reliance must be placed on fumigation. Shelled corn has been stored for several years with a loss of less than I per cent, according to official reports.

For a Better City Lesson for September 19, 1948 44 P OR A BETTER CITY- is a question is: is good slogan. No one would think of objecting to it. If the great city of Ephesus, capital and me tro p o lis of the wealthiest and most thickly populated province of the Ro man Empire, had had a chamber of commerce, no doubt they would all have been in favor of a Better City. There would be no argu ment about that. The What makes a city better? Four different ideas on that line—two very, bad ones and two good ones—can be seen in the story of Acts 19. You should read the story itself before looking over these comments. Because we are beginning toward the end of the story, with the very lowest and silliest of the four ideas how to make a city better. It is a very simple idea: Just “holler,” yell, make a demonstration. Make it long, make it loud, and the city will be the better for it. For two mortal hours that absurd mass- meeting kept the uproar going: “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!” A carious tiling, the mob- mind. If something is true, how can noise make it truer? If a thing is a lie, how can all the shouting In the world make it respectable? Bnt the mob-mind thinks that if a thing is said loudly enough and by enongh people, it is bound to be true. So that theater-full of fools wasted a good afternoon shouting a lie into the deaf blue heavens. It did Diana no good. She was as dead as Mar- ley’s ghost, she had never lived, in fact. It was no use drumming up the decibels. Do you know people who think they can make your town better by shouting about it? It won’t work. You can make a town or county famous if you shout long enough; but you won’t make it bet ter. * * * Making Money THE SILVERSMITHS there in Ephesus had another theory. The way they looked at it, the big thing is money. They used to make money selling their little silver shrines. Now this fellow Paul had coiiie along, persuading people that hand-made gods are no gods at all, and the. trade in “sacred” trinkets had fallen off. It looked like a bad year for the silversmiths. To make things better, they decided, they needed more money. More busi ness! More production! The fact that what they produced was not only worthless but actually harm ful, did not seem to bother them. Do you know people like that to day? * * * Abiding By the Law THE TOWN CLERK of Ephesus had a simple idea, vastily bet ter than these other two. He saw no sense in the mass meeting, he seems not to have been taken in by the silversmiths’ crocodile tears. If anything was wrong in Ephesus, he said, the courts- were open, and trials were open, and .trials could be held. We have laws—let us live by them; that was the gist of his idea. That, is not bad advice. All honor to the'-honest serv ants of the public who now as- then give their best efforts to seeing that good laws are made and well enforced. * * * Changing Lives SPEAKING OF LAWS, there are three kinds of people in the world. One kind will not obey the laws whatever they are. These are the criminal classes. A second kind stay “inside the law.” but they never advance a step beyond them. A third kind, too rare, will go far beyond the law’s requirements in personal living and in social help fulness. Now Paul had been in the city of Ephesus for some months, and he had nothing to do with the law s of that city. Yet what he' was doing was more effective in making that city better than anything the courts could'have done. For what he was doing' was nothing less than changing lives. “The trouble with people is that they’re people,” and the busi ness of Christanity first of all is changing people. It is no use hanging out the slogan “For a Better City” unless you are working for better people. A tre e 'is no healthier than its roots, and a community’s roots are the characters of her people. And from St. Paul’s day to this, the one and only organization which sets out to change people from the in side, is the Christian church.* * • (Copyright b y the International Council of religions Sdueatioa on behalS o f 40 Proteataat denominations.

So, ordinary laundering will work for washable fabrics. Sponging with a cloth dipped in soapy water will clean unwashables. If the stain is old, add a little ammonia to the wash water. To clean a parchment shade, rub it with a fresh piece of white bread or an artgum eraser, or with a cloth dipped in milk.

Pinkham’s T 1HE deafening applause thun- dered about her, and the cries of “Bravo” rent the air of the staid old Music hall. Even through the din, Marya could remember the first time she had heard Louis play. It was the day she had left her music on the train—a brief case filled with sheet music. Even then she had known that this day would come—the day for which she had waited. But she would wait no long er. She remembered how she had gone to their house after church. It was the first summer she stayed in the city to work at Hull house. At the social center she had met Eleanor, Louis’ sister. They were such a charming family, the Alva- nois. Mother and father, first gen eration immigrants from Italy, and the children were American as only the children of immigrants can re joice in the land of the free. As she slipped into her coat to leave Carnegie hall, Marya re membered that other day. She had taken the train to Kedzie ave nue, and then followed the long streetcar ride to the south side. They had invited her for dinner, but they had asked her to bring her music so that she might sing for them. When she arrived, dinner was ready. They had been to church early so that they would have all in readiness for her visit. Albert— Mr. Alvanio—was not home. Albert traveled for a drug company, and frequently had to be on the road. In fact, the only time she could re member having seen Albert was at the concert later. But Carmen and Eleanor and Louis were there. And, of course, Mrs. Albert was there. Talking. Talking and chattering all the time, and yet accomplishing all the things necessary on the part of a perfect hostess. What a jolly, wonderful dinner it had been. They ate spaghetti and artichokes. She especially remem bered the artichokes, because it was the first time she had eaten them. They had to show her how to pull out the little spines and slide the soft, pulpy, white m eat off between your teeth. And they had served chestnuts for dessert. Then Adele—that was Mrs. Al- vanio—was saying, ’And now, Miss Ames . . . now, you sing for us!” Marya had sung for them, huge dinner notwithstanding. She sang the songs she was studying . . . beautiful melodies from the operas of their beloved Italy, songs of re ligion, love songs . . . all the songs in that brief case. Mrs. Albert had accompanied her and sang with her. They all sang. Then a group of noisy young peo ple from the settlement house clubs joined them. Carmen played the cello, Eleanor sang, Marya sang again, and they finally coaxed Louis to play the violin. Louis was twen ty, just Marya’s age, but he was so shy. Louis played for them, resting his round, somewhat boyish face on the chin rest of the instrument. His black, sparkling eyes danced with the music as the inarticulate strings became the medium of mag ic. IDs eyes danced like the tar- antelle that he played. And all the music of the ages poured from those strings. Marya sensed that this was the real Louis. Louis with the laughing black eyes and the tight ringlets of raven hair. When Louis stopped playing, the others were noisy again, but Marya sat quietly in the chair, contemplating the magic artistry of Louis. They wanted her to sing some more, but she refused. How could anyone sing when such genius was present. Louis had come over to her, and sat casually on the arm of the chair. “Did you like my playing, Miss Ames?” he asked politely. “You have a great talent, Louis,” she replied evenly and quietly, but her heart was racing as rapidly as the tempo of the tune he had just played. The group soon surround ed her, and they joined in the folk dances of far-off lands which they performed with such unleashed fury and excitement. When she left, Louis volunteered to walk with her to the street car. At the door she paused to thank Adele -for the lovely day. Smiling wistfully at Louis, she told his moth er, “this young man is a great artist; he must be encouraged.” But Mrs. Alvanio only laughed, and made some remark about Elea nor being the one with the talent. As they walked to the car line, they exchanged but a few brief sentences, but a tacit understanding tened, spellbound. She had thought to herself, “This is only young Louis, but, oh, he is an artist!” She scarcely dared give utterance to the other thought, “And I love him.” The fiddle strings danced as the magic was forced from them by the hands of Louis. The hands of a youth, but they were the hands of a whole people, singing their song down through the years. The audi ence seemed to like Louis, and the critics said he was a lad “of some promise.” But they had missed the magic. After the concert, Marya began to see Louis more frequently. They would take long walks through the parks on the south side, their hands clasped together. Would Louis never speak to her of love, she wondered. And Louis, never seeming to emerge from his shyness, talked of music, and life, but never those words she longed to hear. Then the war came, and Louis was gone! Marya joined the Red Cross pro gram and worked in several of the large social centers in New York. lDMllWmmn Louis had come over to her, and sat casually on the arm of the chair. “Did yon like my playing Miss Ames?” he asked politely. seemed to have grown between them. On the way to the suburb where she lived, Marya thought about her day—and Louis. She be came so engrossed in her thoughts that she left the brief case with the music on the train. Early that spring, there was a concert at the social center with the women’s symphony accompanying the young artists. Naturally, Marya attended the concert. AU the Al- vanios were there—even Albert, who wasn’t seUing drugs for once. Elea nor was to sing, and Louis was to play. There were three others on the program, too. Eleanor was the second performer, and Shei9Sang beautifully, her lyric soprano float ing magicaUy above the muted vio lins of the orchestra. During the intermission the peo ple talked and buzzed, and the Al- vanios looked toward her and smiled, as though to say. “See, we told you. Eleanor’s the one!” The orchestra returned and the program continued. Then Louis played, and the angels listened. Louis, with his soft, round chin rest ing on the violin. From the bay of Naples, where the feeling for song was bora, from the hiUs of Abruzzi where the shepherds sang, the mu sic sweUed up to pour from this handsome youth coaxing the tone from the instrument.

But no word came of him. Each year at Christmas she got the Alvanios’ card, and the spright ly, talking note scrawled across its back in Adela’s iUegible hand. “Eleanor was at Curtis institute,” she wrote, “and Carmen was study ing with Mastroberti.” But of Louis—nothing! Marya tried to put him from her mind, but she fought a losing bat tle. She worked furiously, trying to forget. Then the war was over, and the period of readjustment began. She continued to work in New York. One day she returned to her desk to find a letter from Louis. He was to have his debut in Carnegie haU, and had enclosed a ticket for her. Would she be so kind as to XXTOULD she come. An hour be- ’ * fore concert time, she was waiting in her seat. She listened with bowed head while he played the monumental works of the great composers. The audience liked him, and caUed foi an encore. Then Louis played the tarantelle. She looked up as she listened, and he smiled in her direction as the bow raced across the singing strings. Then the dancing, laughing melody ceased. AU around her, the people stood, cheering! The cheering and applause echoed through the huge auditorium, but Marya was remem bering another Sunday afternoon. She remembered the artichokes and chestnuts . . . she thought about her music, the music in that brief case. Beautiful songs they were, love songs, lfagic songs, songs in praise of God, songs about men’s souls, songs of death, and songs of life. Life and songs. That was it! Life and songs. Songs on the strings of a violin. As she hurried from the auditori um and walked up the street, people smUed. People simled at the young woman who was humming to her self whUe she walked up, the street. They stopped to stare at the girl singing and walking in the snow. During that applause, she had reached her decision. She thought that Louis, like her songs, had been lost to her; but one never lost songs, and one never lost love. These were things of the heart—they could nev er be lost. This time the critics proclaimed Louis the finest young artist to ap pear in the city‘in many years. A great discovery, they labeled him. She laughed when she read that they had discovered Lorus at the concert. She was stiU smiling when she caUed the hotel where he was staying. She informed the clerk, “WiU you teU Mt. Louis Alvanio that Marya Ames is calling? . . . Yes, I’U wait.” She had waited so long . . . but now the waiting had come to an end . . . and she, smUed as she re membered artichokes and chest nuts, laughing eyes and violins, and music left on a train.

BENSON PresiienI-Hariing CMcge Seareg, Jirkansas "A id " o r W a s te ? . Suppose your doctor should say, after having drained off about three quarts of your blood: “Why, my poor man, you look anemic. I’m sorry for you. Out of my well-known generosity I am going to give you a half-pint of blood.” You wouldn’t consider his reas oning to make good sense. Yet, the backers of federal aid to education, arguing that “poorer”'states are not able to support adequate educational programs within their borders, fall back on that sort of thinking. For the federal government to take from Arkansas $98 million a year in income taxes and then offer back') $6 million in “aid” because of Arkansas’ poverty, just doesn’t make sense. If the federal government would elimi nate its present wasteful spending and reduce income taxes by only 10 per cent, that alone would be worth more to the "poorer” states than passing back to them this proposed “aid.” Operation: Wasteful It must be remembered that Wash ington has no money to give anybody. The federal government can hand out only that which it collects. It can only tax the states to get money with which to “aid” the states. We should remem ber, moreover, that such aid will al ways be weighted with bureaucrats and political hangers-on, to be paid for by the same states that get the “aid.” The local way is not only the respon sible way, it is also the economical way. The federal government has no rec ord for the economic operation of any thing. Should our public school system become federally controlled, I would definitely expect it to become a Waste ful operation. (Most of our Indians are educated in federal schools. The cost per student is several times greater than in our regular schools.) A fed erally operated school system would show the same waste and inefficiency that is typical of federal operations in general. How to Become Poorer We have a national debt so mon strous already that there is mounting concern whether we shall be able to meet present obligations and maintain economic stability. Therefore, I look upon federal economy and efficiency as an issue of prime importance. The same thinking that begs for federal aid to education can be allowed to wreck the government by adding fi nancial burden upon financial burden, when the treasury has more debt than anything else. As an Arkansas citizen, I am fully aware of our own educational prob lems, in one of these “poorest” states. Yet, we have tripled our per capita income since 1939. Scores of new in dustries have been started in the state, and our agriculture is prosperous. We can support an adequate school system. What Arkansas needs most is a suit able reorganization of our outmoded system, not federal aid as a crutch for all present weaknesses. What America actually needs today is deep moral purpose in her education, rather than a more extravagant sys tem. Our educational advantages have increased greatly in the last 40 years, but the juvenile crime rate has in creased just as fast. There are those who would make federal aid the answer to juvenile delinquency, a problem which goes back largely to home and parents. Yet, the moral purpose that America needs so much suffers a real set-back every time we hand individual freedom to federal bureaucrats.

Jrkansas «, Do You Envy Profits? : All the talk about profits and profi teers has put a lot of us on the wrong 'track. There has been so much of this misleading talk during the past decade that some of our youngsters are be ginning to think there is something immoral about making a profit at all. Some of them take it so seriously that they think the profit system should be junked in America. On the contrary, I am convinced that the profit system is the very spark plug of our economy. I have given this subject a lot of study. However, it isn’t very difficult to see that workers are in for trouble if they are employed by a business that doesn’t make a profit. More than this, I think profits are too small for the good of workers and the good of the American public. First Aid to Labor Some people seem to think that if no profits were made at all, the workers -would get more wages. This cannot be. My belief is that the part of the sales dollar called profit actually helps the workers more than it helps anyone else. More than that, I believe it can be proved that the part of the sales dollar called profits actually helps labor more than does the part of sales dollar called wages. Consider an example. Fifty years ago it required 8 hours’ work for one man to shape the top of a gasoline tank for an automobile. He was paid less than $1 for the job, which he did by hand. Finally, the automobile idea caught on, and vehicles sold. From profits, the companies have continually -built up better and better plants. Tools are good and efficient. Working condi tions are always being improved. Prof its have brought all these things. Profits Pay Off Nowadays, an auto worker shapes the top of a gasoline tank in one min ute, instead of eight hours. He is happy to work in a clean and sanitary plant. He uses modern tools that are productive and efficient. Most of the back-breaking labor is done by elec tricity or other power. Even after the cost of keeping up the plant and its modern tools, the modern auto worker earns $10 a day instead of the $1 a day of fifty years ago. Was it wages that enabled the worker to increase his pay ten-fold? Just asking for higher wages didn’t ' mean that they were forthcoming. There was more to it than that. It was profits that built the improved plant and bought the improved tools. Had no profits been made the workers would still be working fot $1 a day, or less. This is not difficult reasoning, but it shows what profits are worth to the workers. Everybody Profits What about the public? If the mod ern automobile like the Ford or Chev rolet had to be made by hand, it would cost $50,000 to make at present wages. Yet, with modern tools such a car is made and sold for less than $2,000. That is what profits have done for the public. Today it is possible to buy an automobile for 4 per cent of what it would cost if no profits had been avail able for better plants and tools. This money for modern plants and efficient tools can come from only two places: from profits, or from loans. But the business that is not making profits cannot borrow for long. In reality, then, this money must come from profits. Better plants and tools couldn’t be had without profits. If we stop prof its we stop increases in wages and we stop the march of production toward lower prices. That way, we injure both workers and the public.

Served at least once a week they add variety and needed nutrient to meals. And, compared with other meats, fish are less expensive and are easily and quickly prepared. Two or three persons can be served from one pound of fish. Fish can be baked, broiled, steamed or fried. They can be used In soups, chowders and salads. Although not the brain food some persons once thought, fish are rich In high quality protein. One serving a day provides the animal protein needed to balance the less effi cient protein of cereals and vegetables. In canned fish and some cooked fish the bones are softened and may be eat en. An excellent source of calcium fish will also give the important minerals, phosphorous Shd iodine. Only fish — salmon, tuna, shad, mackerel, white fish—are rich in vita mins A and D. Vitamin A promotes normal growth, protects the eyesight and keeps healthy the protective mu cous membranes of the-nose, throat, lungs and Intestinal tract. Vitamin D, often called the "sunshine”’ vitamin, promotes orderly development of bones end teeth.

G. Suits, noted research scientist. Atomic fuel will provide a source of heat which will be converted to electricity through turbines and generators. “In terms of the use of atomic power as an ap preciable factor In American industry” says Dr. Suits, “we are concerned with the future which lies 20 or 30 years ahead, and the one thing we can be most sure about Is that our guesses as to what this future holds are likely to be wrong.” Energy now produced In large amounts from atomic sources, as for example, In the uranium “piles” at the Hanford works In Washington, is wasted by warming water from the Columbia river. Considerably higher temperatures will be required for an efficient source of power. U n c le S a m S ay s .

H eroes Rev. W. K. Iaenhour. High Point. N. C. R4 Yes, heroes are brave men. Thev do exploits. I don’t mean that “daredevils” are heroes. J think there is lots of difference between a real bero and a real daredevil. A hero does something good and worth while, but a daredevil mav do some almost tragic just to show off. He may risk his life fot fame, or for publicity. Webster says that a daredevil is "recklessly bold per son. Then there Is lots of difference between a hero and a “bully” . No doubt some people think they are heroes when they are only bullvs. Abuilys does lots of “showing off.” He likes to reveal his phvsical strength, of show bow much he knows, or run the “bluff” on some- body. Sometimes bullys think the louder they can cuss, or the more vile language tney can use. or the more anger and temper they, can manifest, the braver they prove themselves, Fellows like that are often the biggest cowards you ever meet. Ofteniimes thev try to bluff” the other fellow by their bad Iang iage and vile deeds. In fact I sincerely doubt if one can be a real hero unless he is god- ly, or has in heart, mind, soul and spirit something that is good, and gives himself to a purpose that is good. Drniel was a bero when he refused to obey the decree of the' king, because he knew the. king was wrong, therefore took the lion's deo rather than displease God. Well, praise the Lord, be came out triumphantly. Everyone comes out triumphantly when he obeys God. I don’t think we have to go out and do some great, outstanding, marvelous deed every time to be a hero. In fact I think every child of God Is, In a sense, a hero. It certainly takes the soul of a bero to withstand the devil and all the demon forces of earth and hell. re. fu'e to bow to temptations the de vil continually bearings before God’s people, and In the meantime live a life that pleese God. When von see a bov or girl that attends chnrcb and Sunday school, and that loves - God, truth, right and righteousness; who will not yield to bad influences, and refuses to go with bad company and tbe wrong crowd; who shuns the plaees of evil, sin and wickedness, who canuot be persuaded or bought out —well, that is tbe spirit of hero- ism. What they do may never go on history’s pagrs, but what is far berter, God keeps tbe account of It In the books of heaven. Praise His holy name.

Microwaves Demonsiraie Naiure of Lighi and Radio Microwaves, made famous' by ra dar, provide the teacher with the simplest means of demonstrating the nature of light and radio waves, C. L. Andrews, New TCork State Col lege for Teachers, told the conven tion of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Light waves are a hundredth of a hairs breadth long. To observe wave effects in light, the student m ust squint through a microscope eyepiece into some ingenious de vice. Radio waves are a few thou sand feet long. To study their wave effects, a laboratory the size of the state of Texas with a roof 100 miles high is required. Wave effects of microwaves are man-sized, conveniently spread out on a laboratory table to be meas ured with an ordinary ruler. With the aid of a hand-sized transm itter and a hand-sized intensity meter, reflection, refraction, interference, diffraction and polarization of waves are to be demonstrated. Fading of radio signals due to in terference between the direct wave and that reflected from the Ken- nelly-Heaviside layer is simulated with the transm itter and receiver a few feet apart and a wire screen used to represent the ionosphere. Cotton Is Most Popular Of Mattress Materials Solid-filled m attresses derive their comfort from the natural resiliency of their filling materials. The great est percentage of these are filled with cotton. The best ones are filled with long-flbered cotton which has been felted into layers. The cheaper ones—the ones into which short cot ton fibers are blown, or the plater m attress which has loose fibers in the center with a few felted cotton layers above and beneath—tend to m at down, developing lumps and depressions. High quality curled hair makes a good m attress for anyone who pre fers a very firm sleep foundation, fiorse tail and cattle tail hair are best, with horse mane second. Hog hair is rather stiff and less resilient. Kapok, which comes from the pod of a tropical tree, makes a soft, light, easy to handle mattress. How ever, kapok fiber is extremely per ishable and there is little demand for kapok mattresses today Rubber mattresses arc made , from the milk of rubbir trees which has been whipped into a foam-like substance. Most of them are only four inches thick and require a deeper than standard bedsprng. They are expensive and still too now for cumulative consumer react tor to be obtained. Weather Science to Tame Destructive Ice and Hail There is a very good possibility that destructive hailstorms may be eliminated in the future, and seri ous ice storms may be “tam ed" in winter, according to snow-and-rain- making scientists, National Patent council reports. By introducing large quantities of ice nuclei at and above the freez ing level in high cumulus clouds, hail particles would be unable to grow to any considerable size, ac cording to Vincent J. Shaefer, con sultant to “Project Cirrus,” a weather research program being conducted by the army signal corps and office of naval research. There is evidence that the seri ous ice storms of last winter result ed from formation of rain in super cooled clouds, according to Shaefer. Under such conditions, it should have been possible to convert all this rain to snow. It is unlikely that the inconvenience and traffic trou ble produced by an increase in snowfall would be as great as that caused by icy streets, broken pow er, light and telephone wires, and* the breakage of shade and fruit trees. Not all ice storms can be related to superdboled clouds, in Shaefer’s opinion, but last winter’s storms point -out the -importance of know ing more about such situations and having facilities to cope with them when the situation could stand im provement. Hottest Spice Family More than 50,000 tons of spices are consumed annually in the United States alone and the most popular spice is black pepper which was discovered as an unattractive wild vine in the jungles of the Malay peninsula. Both black and white pepper come from the same plant— the white comes from the less pep pery, inner parts of the berry. Hun dreds of other types of peppery, hot plants are much hotter to the taste and easier to grow but the popular ity of black pepper on the modem table remains unchallenged since long before Columbus set out to find a faster route to the spice-bearing East. What’s in a Name? TTANS WAGNEK, one-time great PitlsLurgh infielder, tells of two rookies who once came up to the Pi rates in the waning days of a .season. The manager wanted to try them out at the plate, so he decided to give them a turn at bat one day when his team had a lead of several runs. • Tlie first rookie approached the plate. “What’s your name and who are you hatting for?” the umpire asked. “My name's Riggs and I’m batting for myself,” was the fast reply. The umpire’s face crimsoned, but he allowed the remark to pass. To add to his discomfort, the youngster singled on the first pitch. When the second rookie—a small, shy boy—came up, the umpire was in no mood for another wisecrack. “And what’s your name and for whom are you batting?” he asked. The newcomer hesitated, coughed, and blurted, “Boo!” ■ This was too much. Flinging his mask to the ground, shaking an angry finger before the rookie’s face, the umpire yelled, “Out of the game.” But the youth was completely in nocent. His name was Boo—Everett Boo. RETURN FAVOR “How did Frank lose the fingers of his right hand?” “He put them in the horse’s inouth to see how many teeth he had.” “And then what happened?” “The horse closed bis mouth to see how many fingers Frank had.” Slight Misunderstanding “Now,” the lecturer asked, “is there ,a man in the audience who would let 'his wife be slandered and say noth ing? If so, stand up.” A meek little man rose to his feet. The lecturer glared at him. “Do you mean to say you would let your wife be slandered and say nothing?” she cried. « “I’m sorry,” the little man apolo gized. “I thought you said ‘slaugh tered’.” Last Straw C1ROM the moment she had started " school, till years later, when with a sigh of relief, she heard its doors close behind her, Emma Sheep shanks had disliked her name, and lived only for the day when some man would m arry her and change it. At last! Emma Sheepshanks knew immediately that she had met her ideal, her soulmate. He dispensed with an introduc tion. He begged for a dance, an other, and yet another, and permis sion to call. Trembling, she heard his knock. Eagerly she seized his card from the maid. One glance at it and her eyes blazed with indignation. “Tell Mr. Ramsbottom," she said, ‘that I am not at home today, nor upon any future occasion.” HE DID! "Sir, I have a question of great importance to ask you—have I your consent to marry your daughter?" “Do you drink, young man?” "Thanks, Pop—but let’s settle this other thing first.” U n c le S a m S a y s Any day soon you may be faced by some real bugaboos if you are not salt ing away a part of your wages every pay day.

Treasury D epartm ent First Innerspring Mattress Heinrich Weatphal, veteran of the Franco-Prusslon wars la credited with the Invention of the innerspring mat tress. He had been Injured during the war and spent much time on a hard hospital bed. Through his discomfort, he conceived the Idea for the inner spring mattress, had one made and presented it to Prince Bismarck In 1871. He lacked the funds to capitalize on his investment, however, and the patent expired. Research In this coun try got underway in the early 1900’s, -but it was the late 1920’s before lnner- springs were produced In any quan tity. Since then, perfected Innerspring unit constructions, Improved tailoring and other features developed by indi vidual manufacturers have added more comfort and better appearance to in nerspring mattresses. I Alexander Hamllton-Aaron Burr Duel The famous duel between vice-presi dent Aaron Burr and Gen. Alexander Hamilton took place on the morning of July 11, 1804, at a few minutes past seven o’clock in the morning. When a second cried the word “Present!” Burr fired Immediately and Hamilton pitch ed forward on his face. His pistol dis charged In the air. Hamilton was car ried to the edge of the Hudson river and revived with spirits of hartshorn. Burr's bullet had pierced his liver and lodged in his spine. He died In New Fork after many hours of agonizing pain. The duel took place on the wood ed heights of WeehaWken, N. J. Its cause went far back into the lives of both men. After the duel, Aaron Burr was as dead—politically—as Hamilton.

Tnatunt DtpaHmtnt Record Low Death Rate Estimated for Past Year American life insurance policy holders probably will record the best health year in history in 1947, the Institute of Life Insurance re ports, early estimates pointing to the lowest death rate ever recorded. This was accomplished despite new high death rate records being set in the two ltading causes of death, heart disease and cancer. During the past year, policy holder deaths from influenza and pneumonia, tuberculosis and chil dren’s diseases dropped to a record low rate. While these three classifi cations combined accounted for one- third of all policyholder deaths 39 years ago, this past year they repre sented fewer than one-twelfth. Both children’s diseases and the influenza and pneumonia classifica tion showed 1947 death rates at about one-half those of prewar years. Developed Early Glass In 1607, eight Polish and German glass blowers, members of Capt. John Smith’s first expedition to colo nize the new world, landed on the Jam es river at what later was to be the site of Jamestown, Va., accord ing to a study of glass history by Libbey. They constructed a crude glass furnace in the nearby woods to make beads for trading with the Indians and thus glassmaking be came the first industrial enterprise on American soil. Because glass- making always had been in the hands of a small group of craftsmen who were m asters of a difficult art, manufacturing processes changed little until 1900, when America de veloped processes that revolution ized the industry.

Our County And Social Security By Mrs. Ruth G. Duffy, Manager. A child under the Social Securi. ty Act is a natural child of a wage earner, his stepchild, and bis a- dopted child. Therefore, these children are due month benefits, until 18, if the wage earner is 65 and receiving benefits or if the wage earner dies, at whatever age, provided he has worked long en ough in employment covered by the Act. We bave a special inter est in minor children because they cannot file for themselves but are dependent upon those who have the responsibility of their cars and support to file for them. And, ,ometitnes, children lose benefits because the persons so responsible do not file applications on tbeir be- Iiahalf in time to prevent loss. This week, we handled the claim of a wage earner who has one son, age 16. This wage earner is 65 and entitled to a montblv check of #32 50 In addition to b<s own check of $16 25 (half the amount of bis) for his son until the son is 18 The iuiportnnt thing is that the wage earnei had to file an ap. olication not only for his retire ment benefits but an application on ^ behalf of his son. Another case deals with the pro. blems where the father, or wage earner, died leaving three minor children. We ufcre first notified of his death bv a funeral director. Upon investigation, we found that tbe deceased wage earner was a widower. The three children are In *he home of their grandmother. The grandmother did not know that she should come to see us and file an application on behalf of the children and. if wc bad not gotten in touch with her, they would have lost benefits.fThe father had work ed long enough for bis children to be paid montblv benefits. The grandmother will get $35.51 each month for the ohildren in Jier care. It’s not much, but even this small amount will help in rearing this orpqan family. I hope the two examples I have given may help you uuderstand children’s rights under the social security program. O pportunity Knocks THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS- South Receives Wallace With Fury; CIO Pledges to Support President; Berlin Meetings May End Stalemate -By Bill Schoentgen, WNU StafF Writer- C ro w d F u ry (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed In these columns, they are those ot Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) WALLACE: Pure Hate Henry Wallace claimed that his expansive love for his fellow men had not been diminished by his ex periences in the South, but it stood as a fact that the ram parts of that abiding affection must have under gone a severe test. As the Progressive party’s presi dential candidate Wallace had gal lantly penetrated into the southern states to bring them his brand of enlightenment. But the crusader was not appre ciated. He was received in North Carolina by hostile audiences who showered him with invective, vili fication, eggs and tomatoes. His speeches were blanked out by boos and catcalls in Winston-Salem, Durham, Burlington, Greensboro and Charlotte, N. C. Wallace was stunned with unbelief at what was happening to him. In Burlington, where the full force of North Carolina’s vitupera tive mood was unleashed, the for m er vice president was not even given a chance to talk. He was un able to do anything except dodge missiles and plead with the furious citizens closest to him that things like this were not supposed to hap pen in the United States. It was an ugly display of bad taste that spread hysterically from town to town as Wallace’s tour progressed. The egg and tomato tossing was severely criticized by top U. S. officials, including Presi dent Truman who called it “highly un-American business,” and said: “Mr. Wallace is entitled to say nis piece the same as any other American.” Nevertheless, in North Carolina Wallace’s say was confined for the most part to protestations against the treatment he was receiving. At Greensboro, with egg shell clinging to his head, he shouted: “I don’t mind being hit by eggs and tomatoes, but they would be more useful being fed to children. “The faces I have seen distorted oy hatred are of people for whom I have in my heart profound com passion, because most of them have not enough to eat:” The crowd laughed at him. And as Wallace left North Caro lina to head into Alabama and Mis sissippi it looked as though he might be able to use some “profound com passion” for himself, for his racial views are opposed even more vi olently in those states. BACKING: For Truman As the two major presidential candidates prepared to swing their campaigns into full career in prep aration for the November elections, some good news popped up for President Truman. The CIO officially threw its sup port to the Democratic ticket and pledged the organization to work for his election. That was the way the CIO had written itself on the political books this year, but the action left the organization simmering with inter nal discord. Bitter protests of 12 left-wing un ion leaders had had to be overcome before the CIO could cast its lot with Truman and Barkley. The dis senting unions wanted to support Wallace, and they had their way insofar as the resolution adopted by the group \jas easy in its criticism of the Progressive party’s candi date. GOP nominee Thomas E. Dewey, however, was condemned as “the candidate of big business.” The Dixiecrats1 headed by Gov. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, were shrugged off in the resolution as a coalition of Democrats and “do- nothihg Republicans” that has “steadfastly adhered to the philos ophy of the National Association of Manufacturers.” The pro-Truman resolution by the CIO executive board did not neces sarily mean total support for the President, however. Philip Murray, CIO president, said that the 12 dis senting unions are not bound by the majority decision to back Mr. Tru man. “Any union still may exercise its right to do what it wants,” he said. That meant, apparently, that the leadership of at least 12 CIO unions, numbering more than a million members, would continue to labor in behalf of Wallace, while 30 other unions with about 5.5 million mem bers wotdd go to work for the Dem ocratic party. Henry Wallace, Progressive party candidate for President, has discovered that the penalty for espousing political ideas that dif fer sharply from the majority opinion is hatred. Speaking at Greensboro, N. C., he was pelted with eggs and vegetables—which probably is just another form of freedom of expression. BERLIN: Some TaUe That sound of sabers rattling in Berlin meant this time that the disputants in the fight over control of the German capital were merely laying down their swords to get to gether and talk about it once more. Tensimi lifted almost visibly when the Big Four military gover nors of Germany met for the first time in more than five months to discuss a single currency for Ber lin and the lifting of the Soviet blockade of the city. The meeting was called in the first place to implement decisions reached by the American, British and French ambassadors with Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov in Moscow. At least the Moscow talks had accomplished that much. Topping the list of items for dis cussion was the problem of what to do about the rival currencies in Berlin. At present both eastern and western zone m arks are circulating in the city. It was understood that the con ferees in Moscow previously had agreed in principle that only the Soviet zone m ark should circulate in Berlin, but that it should be under four-power control. There were still conflicting atti tudes as to what course the Berlin parley should take, however. The Russians believed that an agreement on getting a single cur rency must be worked out before any final East-West agreement on Berlin can be possible. In Washington the U. S. state department, backed by Great Brit ain and France, was insisting that the Soviets must lift the Berlin blockade before any discussion of the currency problem is held. The whole situation was extreme ly complex and, actually, few per sons outside of high official circles made any pretense of being able to understand it fully. About as far as general under standing of the subject went, it was limited to the realization that un less an agreement were reached soon the tortured peace would be- come more dangerously strained. H ead lin ers IN GARLAND, TEX. . . . A cam paign-minded hatmaker was offer ing edible candy headgear (above) for reckless election bettors who vow to eat their hats if their can didate loses. IN ROCHESTER, N. H. . . . Ray mond Beaulieu, fined $73 in munici pal court for operating an unreg istered automobile, sold his car ,to raise money to pay the fine. SPRINGFIELD, MASS. . . . Rob ert H. Smith was granted a divorce when he testified that his wife, enraged because he didn’t know how to dance the polka, slapped and kicked him until his weight dropped from 165 pounds to 140. NO REUEF TOMORROW High Cost of Living Stays and Stays Here’s that same old news again: There is no immediate relief from the high cost of living in sight, and it probably will continue to creep upwards throughout the election campaign this fall. Economists of the labor,' com merce and agriculture departments concur in the prediction that no break in prices is likely to come •bout before the November 2 elec tion. Their statements indicate that the next President will have to face the high cost of living issue right off the bat. Even in food prices, where record crop forecasts have jolted prices a little, no immediate relief is in prospect for the family budget. Food costs, as a m atter of fact, will be higher at least until the end oi the year. GREEK CRISIS: Relieved Few U. S. forays into the field of international aid have been sc widely condemned and excoriated as the so-called “Truman doctrine” for economic help to Greece and Turkey. • Almost since its inception the “Truman doctrine” has been de nounced as a fraud, a farce and a flop. Much of the denunciation, however, seemed to be based on opinion rather than fact. Actually, for a long time it was almost im possible to assess the condition oi the Greek aid program. Now the government has come out with a report to congress that States bluntly that American mili tary and economic aid has removed the danger of Greece falling to Communism. “While not all the problems in Greece are solved, the crisis of 18 months ago has been averted,” one Official said. “The aid program in Greece is over the hump.” The report, submitted by Presi dent Truman and covering the first year of American efforts to keep Greece free, embodied virtually the first optimism anyone has ex pressed regarding the picture in Greece. So far does this optimism extend that Greece now is accepted of ficially as the “bright spot” in American attempts to help other nations resist the onslaughts of Communism. In Asia and other Eu ropean countries the anti-Commu- aist battle is not considered won. Government emphasis, of course, is on the fact that the task in Greece still is not done. Between 15,000 and 17,000 Greek guerrillas remain at large despite recent suc cesses by government forces. And guerrilla action may continue for several years, depending on the amount' of aid received by the rebels from Albania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. Briefly, the official success story of the Greek effort claims that the nation’s wild inflation has been re sisted, the cost of living is drop ping, about 1,000 miles of key roads have been reconstructed and the vital Corinth canal is open to traffic. L o v e in B lo o m ? British tongues and heartstrings are vibrating with rumors of a romantic association (that’s what it is when royalty is involved) between Princess M argaret Rose, youngest daughter of the king and queen, and the marquis of Bland- ford, a fair-haired young noble man. Her parents have yet to pass judgment on him, however. DEATH CAME: Charles E. Hughes Regally bearded Charles Evans Hughes came within a whisker oi being elected the 27th President of the United States in 1916. At that time he was a crusty, unbending, academic man, and it was probably because of that tem perament that he lost the presi dential race to Woodrow Wilson in one of the closest elections in his tory—277 electoral votes to 254. California’s vote was the deciding factor in the final result and Hughe9 lost that when he incensed the Cali fornia governor by failing to visit him while on a tour of the state. But Charles E. Hughes was, nev ertheless, as near to being a great man as most people ever get. And he mellowed with time. He was the only American evei to be appointed twice to the U. S supreme court—once in 1910 and again in 1930 when he returned to preside as chief justice. He was twice governor of New York, his native state, resigning the position during his second tern] to become a supreme court asso ciate justice. In July, 1941, he retired from the supreme bench to withdraw into private life. Between that time and August of this year he made only one public appearance—to attend the funeral services of Harlan Fiske Stone, another chief justice, in April, 1946. Late last month Charles Evans Hughes, 86 years old, died of con gestive heart failure. Timber Top Lumber production in the U. S. this year probably will exceed the 1947 output by at least 5 per cent, the commerce department has esti mated. The department’s lumber survey committee reported that this level would be attained if there is no slackening of demand. Lumber cur* rentiy is flowing to m arkets in ample quantity to supply the rec ord-breaking construction activity. Washington DigeSu Spy Inquiry Should Not Ask Rejection of U. S. Constitution B y BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. WASHINGTON.—When a m an has a strong constitution he doesn’t have to think much about it. It works about the same with a nation. Especially, when both are young and vigorous. But as they get more m ature, they may discover a few organs here and there which have to be mended or a few articles that have to be amended just because of a changing environment. Baukhage In any case it isn’t a good idea to lock your constitution up and never take it out and dust it off and see if it is still there. This is the month when what Ben Franklin referred to as “the grand Federal Constitu tion” was bom in Philadelphia after more than four months debate by the constitutional convention. It was signed Monday, S eptem ber 17, 1787. G eorge Washington pre sided over the convention and presided as well as he had as head of the rag ged Continentals. When the docu m ent w as en grossed it was signed by all but Gov. Edmund Randolph and Col. George Mason of Virginia and Elbridge .Gerry of Massachusetts. ‘‘The b usiness being thus closed,” as Washington wrote in his diary, “the members ad journed to the City Tavern, dined together and took a cordial leave of each other . . .” Many people at the time thought the Constitution was pretty good as it was, and yet the part which is probably most familiar to the pres ent generation is the part which our founding fathers recognized as the first thing lacking in the orig inal draft—the first amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free ex ercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” This amendment and the nine which followed, making up the Bill of Rights, were all introduced in the first congress, as the Beards in their “Basic History of the Unit ed States” put it, "in response to a popular demand” but involving “no alteration in the form of gov ernment.” Congress passed the Bill of Rights on to the states, which, in convention, ratified them in 1791. Establishment of these funda mental rights, says Carl Van Dor- en in “The Great Rehearsal,” may be regarded as the “contribution of the people” to the Constitution. They represent the crystallization of those desires for human dignity in the souls of civilized men—de sires which reveal his innate pos session of a spirituality that dif ferentiates him from the beasts. The maintenance of those rights, as opposed to the attain ment and safeguarding of purely m aterial possessions, has brought about the clash of ideologies which threatens a crisis in the world today. Spy Probe Presses Point During the spy-ring investigations by the house un-American activities committee, there was much talk about the violation of the Bill of Rights. The President himself, when asked a categorical question on that subject, said he believed that this committee had, in the course of its hearings, infringed these rights. He did not specify which of the rights had been infringed but from his pre vious expressions it would seem he was referring to the fifth amend ment which says in part: “No person shall be held to an swer for a capital, or otherwise in famous crime, unless on a present ment or indictment of a grand jury. . . .” The President said some of the testimony made public had done irreparable harm to certain per sons, had slandered a lot of people who didn’t deserve it. He explained that all the evidence of alleged guilt concerning these persons had already been presented to the grand jury and that the grand jury had not considered it sufficient grounds for indictment. The jury, protecting the rights of the individual, had not made the names public. But the un-Ameri can activities committee, present ing the same evidence, had made the names public and in so doing had, according to the implication of the President, infringed the Bill of Rights. From the mail I get and the tele phone calls I receive, I know that many people disagree with the criticisms of the committee, fully approving of its actions. These people, I am sure, do not believe in the infringement of anyone’s . constitutional rights. They believe in the American legal principle that a person is innocent until he is proved gnilty. But they appear to have con- <S ------------------------------- victed the accused in their own minds, feel they are guilty, and also have the feeling that anyone who objects to what the com mittee has done is guilty of tak ing sides with a traitorous per son and, therefore, is himself in directly guilty of treason. Before me I have a letter. It is written in good English, emotional it is true, but obviously from, an intelligent and educated person. It says in part: “Why not be fair in your broad casts? It is scandalous and near criminal to m urder a man’s repu tation on m ere suspicion as is being done by certain commit tees investigating com m unism ...” So far so good. With that start I expected a strong defense of the Bill of Rights to follow. But no in deed! Listen to this “but”— “You know perfectly well the necessity of the publicity against communism because there is no other way to arouse the electo rate. You know there are Bene dict Arnolds by the score In the administration’s set up.” Wait a minute! Is it necessary to violate the Constitution to arouse the electorate? If you believe that, you believe in revolution. It’s revo lution if you do not use legal means in exercising your right to change the Constitution. But do you want to change the Constitution so the Bill of Rights is infringed? Not if you really mean what you say in the first paragraph of your letter. W ho’s Selling U. S. Down the River? As to whether therS are “Bene dict Arnolds” in the government, I have no doubt there may be for eign spies in the government, and I would be in favor of dealing with them much more drastically than persent laws permit, I hope strong er laws will be drafted. So does congress. The department of jus tice has been working on such a law for some time. But to say the government is full of traitors is either utter nonsense or else the FBI is a lot of morons. Now let’s read further from my listener's letter: “ Canada has officials In their government who are loyal to Uie country and cleared out the rats on their own initiative. We have men who are selling us down the river night and day.” Well, as to Canada, no one was publicly accused until the court had decided there was legal proof of his guilt. The names of those who had been accused and declared in nocent never were revealed. As to men “selling us down the river night and day,” I will take the word of General Eisenhower if, in a political year the President’s word can’t be taken. The general said: “This country keeps its m ajor secrets pretty well.” Now the writer of this letter is obviously sincere, believes, accord ing to his own word, in the fifth amendment, on both legal and moral grounds. Yet on the same -page, speaking with natural but il logical indignation he asks that the Bill of Rights be abrogated. I understand this psychologically. I have found myself privately con victing at least one of the persons who was accused by a witness be fore the un-American 'activities committee although I know that in vestigation by the FBI and hearings by the grand jury failed to find this person guilty. Perhaps more evidence will be introduced with which the accused can be convicted under the law, but as long as we pretend to be loyal Americans, we have to hold our tem pers and with hold our judgments. Perhaps before forming opin ions on this subject, certainly be fore expressing them, instead of just counting 10, it might be well to count the 10 amendments com posing the Bill of Rights and while counting, read them over carefully. And maybe, as a birthday pres ent to the Constitution which 'has given us the best government we know about, read the rest of the document over, too. If enough peo ple did that, there might be a hap pier birthday all around. • * • A oorn-borer in an ear of cofn can’t bore any more than the corn you can hear every day with your own ear.• * • After the recent Olympic games, which were held in England, Brit ish Prim e Minister Attlee had to go to the hospital with athlete’s foot• * • When Christopher Coltunbus dis covered America, he found no cows.

Editor’s Note—While Drew Pearson is on vacation, the Washington Merry-Go-Round is being written by his old partner, Robert S. Allen.) Political Kettle Boils T aHE long-simmering political ket- A tie has reached the boiling point. On the national stage, the cooking started when Harry Truman and Thomas Dewey formally squared off Oefore Labor Day audiences. Simul taneously, a number of equally ex citing and significant state contests were joined. To the sm art politicoes, these local battles are second in importance only to the "big top” melee. For the politicoes know that what hap pens in these state arenas will pro foundly affect not only the national contest but also the shape of things afterward. The control of congress, of powerful organizations in key states, and in the event Mr. Truman loses, of the national Democratic machinery, are at stake in these tests. Intensifying the concern of the po litical generalissimos are two fac tors: The great body of "undecided" voters, manifest in every important poll; and the spectacular upset of Memphis Boss Crump by crusading Rep. Estes Kefauver. To the profes sional politicoes, these two items speE uncertainty. Anything can hap pen. The general public is itchy and new and fresher-sounding voices have a strong appeal. Rank Surprise High-ranking officers are in for a surprise when the report of the advisory commission on serv ice pay is published. The commission will recom mend increases for enlisted men and junior officers, but none for the top grades. In fact, they ac tually may face a pay cut In the recommended elimination of tax deductions and certain allow ances. A previous committee of gen erals' and admirals had recom mended pay boosts for all ranks, with the top echelons getting the biggest increases. Defense Secre tary Forrestal didn’t even both er to send this report to con gress. Instead he appointed the civilian commission to make a new study. Shipping Ban Violated The U. S. still is shipping vital war m aterial to countries behind the iron curtain. And these shipments still are be ing made with approval of the com merce department’s office of inter national trade. This is the agency that formerly was headed by Wil liam Remington, leading figure in the Russian “spy” disclosures of the house un-American activities committee. This astounding trade still is going on despite the administra tion’s announced policy of ban ning it, despite the warlike ag gressions and provocations of Russia and also despite the world-wide furor over the con gressional revelations and their attending fantastic ramifica tions. This column definitely has es tablished the following facts re garding the continued export of vvar potentials to Communist-ruled coun tries: The OIT has secretly issued a li cense for export of a large quan tity of ball bearings and steel balls (for the manufacture of bearings) to Czechoslovakia. This license was issued to the Overseas Mercantile company, N. Y. Satellite Czechoslovakia is today one of Russia’s m ajor munitions producers. The great Skoda plant has been converted entirely to mil itary output. Further, ball-bearings are a key essential in the making of war goods. Two of the most costly air force raids into Germany during the recent war were for the pur pose of knocking out ball-bearing plants. An official of the Overseas Mer cantile company admitted that the ball bearings being shipped -to Czechoslovakia could be used in war preparations.• • * Eye Poppers in Budget Preliminary budget estimates submitted by the army and navy for next year are eye-poppers. The two services are asking for approximately five billion dollars more than the 16 billion dollars congress voted them this year. Ths navy wants more than 11 billion dollars and the army more than 10 billion dollars. This stupendous 21 billion dol lar total does not include air force estimates. They are still to come and are sure to be not less than 7 billion doUars. The 1949 budget is already ir preparation. It will be submitted to the new congress in January by President Truman, whether he is re-elected or not. If they win, G.O.P. leaders privately are planning to demand a voice in preparation ol the budget. Spraying in Summer Will Not Halt Grubs D e stro y in g E g g s F a ils T o S to p W in te r A tta c k Spraying cattle in summer with benzene hexachloride, rotenone or other insecticides, new or old, does not prevent grub infestation in win ter. Although there is nothing new in that statement, the need for repeat ing it is plainly indicated by an account of spraying dairy cattle in one of the com belt states. The work was given considerable pub licity, with erroneous conclusions. In this case, older animals of the herd were sprayed with DDT. Heif ers and calves were not sprayed because they were running in pas- Dipping method is favored by some cattlemen to control grubs and other infestations. ture. Spraying them would have required getting them up and han dling them. The following winter, it was noticeable that the cows which had been sprayed were not infected with grubs. The young stuff was peppered with them. The natural conclusion was that a summer spray of DDT was effective. That conclusion is unwarranted because, as entomologists know, older cattle seldom if ever have grubs of the heel fly. The young animals are the ones that suffer. The department of agriculture says: “Many substances have been applied to cattle to keep away heel fiys and to kill the eggs deposited on the legs of the animals. All have been found to be either ineffective or impractical. The best time for attacking the pest is when the grubs are in the backs of cattle.” Soil Inventoiy Tenned Good Management Basis Keep an inventory of the soil’s fertility, the same as of buildings, livestock and equipment, advises M id d le W e st Soil Improvement committee. Nearly any farm er knows how many dairy cows, beef cattle, hogs and sheep he has. He also keeps a record of his seed, feed, build ings, machinery and fences. Few farm ers, however, have an inventory of their principal asset— cAeck up on YOUR SOIL* too / SOIL INVENTORY PLANT FOOD N IT R O d E N P H O iP H A T S PO TA SH ' O P e A m c M ATTER o'oLoVLTH 0 the soil. Yet a farm er’s earning power depends largely on whether his soil's fertility level is high or low. On thousands of farm s a soil fertility inventory would show seri ous shortages. Overcropping has used up nitrogen, phosphate and potash. The organic m atter supply is scraping the bottom of the barrel. Soil structure has been damaged:' Drainage is poor and air circula tion is shut off. Crop output is low. Restocking the "shelves” of the soil warehouse involves several es sential steps. Plant food is impor tant. But other things also are needed, particularly organic m atter and good soil structure. The soil inventory can be im proved faster and at lower cost if “leaks” are halted by conservation measures that will slow down run off and save topsoil and plant foods. Among such measures are contour cultivation, strip cropping and ter racing where needed. Soil Fumigation Needed In Sugar Beet Culture Joint tests in Utah by sugar in terests and USDA “showed that soil fumigation for beets which follow beets made the difference between big yields and no yield at all.” The sugar beet nemotode builds up so fast in one growing season where fertile soil has grown a big crop of beets that the field is a death-bed for sugar beets the next year with out soil fumigation, it was indicated in the tests.

Faith: A FamilY Tradition Lesson for September 26, 1948 D r. Forem an HERE IS a brief Bible quiz: What Christian man did Paul recom mend to the Philippians as the one completely u n selfish person he knew? When Paul needed a man to pre sent his ideas to a “problem church,” whom did he send? When Paul wanted reliable information about a church, on whose report did he depend? Whom did Paul call “son” more often than any one else? The answer to all these ques tions is the same: Timothy. Certainly a man whom the great Saint Paul found so congenial, so reliable, so.unselfish and effective a Christian, is a man worth our careful attention. We ask this ques tion about him: What made him what he was?#’ * • Faith at Home SOME MEN have to leave home to find faith. But perhaps the hap piest Christians, certainly the most fortunate, are those who cannot re member what it was not to have faith. It was the atmosphere they breathed as children. The first people they knew were Christians, prayer and faith were taken for granted, the name of Christ was heard only in reverence and love, never in jest or anger. Timothy grew up in such a home. When he became a m ature, work ing Christian he had no wasted years to regret, no wild oats to pull up. The faith of his adult mind was not scarred by the acid remains of 'earlier doubt. Timotby1Slifew as all of one piece. He was bom to faith, he grew up in it. Homes can do a great deal for the children who live in them. But nothing else — p h y sical health, poise, culture, friends, ambition—nothing else is quite so valuable a gift or quite so lasting, as faith. lit later years faith may have to be pounded into a person or shocked into him; but in childhood faith is woven in, welded In, and that is as it should be. Happy the Christian who does not have to turn his back on his childhood when he turns his face to Christ!* # * Book of Wisdom U n ELIGION cannot be taught, AV it can only be caught,” is an old saying. It is partly true, for you cannot set any dozen people a t ran dom down on a bench and teach them into faith. If teaching religion were as simple as that, then every Sunday school could guarantee that every one of its graduates would become a saint. Nevertheless, re ligion can partly be taught, for in a book there may be crystallized the faith of many a generation. A book may concentrate and preserve the insight, the inspiration, the as surance of men and women who though dead yet speak. Living with books of faith is like living with many families 'of faith at the same time. Such a book is the Bible. And it was the Bible, or so much of it as had been written, the Old Testament, which was. the one Book in Timothy’s boyhood home. Through the Scriptures, the boy’s mother taught her son not merely her own faith but that of many a generation before her time. In our own day, parents may feel that they come too far short of being saints, so they hesitate about urging their perhaps dim ly-felt religion on their children. Yet in our Bible there is open to all fathers and mothers a means of placing their children in an atmosphere of intense faith. Personal religious genius is rare; but even though you may be any thing but a genius, you still can. bring to your child the treasures of the Bible, product of the highest inspiration and insight the world has known.• * * Women of the Family TIM O TH Y’S FA TH ER w as Greek, probably not a Christian. He and Timothy may never have understood each other. It was the women of the family who molded the boy’s mind and heart, his mother, Eunice, and his grand mother, Lois. It is always so. It is the women of a family who have most Influ ence for faith or against it. The boy knows his mother before he knows any one else.

SEFFEMBEk 22, 1948 THE DAVlE RECORD: Resolute Against Sunday MoviesC FRANK STROUD TELEPHONE Editor. t Entered atthe Postoffice in Mocke- vllle, N. C., ae Second-claw Mail m atter, March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: O'F: VEAR IN N, CAROLINA % 1.50 SIX MONTHS IN N. CA ROUNA 75c. ONf YEAR. OUTSIDE STATF - $2.00 SiX MONTHS. OUTSIDE STATE - $1.00 At a regular meeting of the Davle County Ministers Associa' tion on Monday, Sept. 6 th, the following resolution was unani . mously passed: j “Be it resolved that the Minis*1 ters Association go on record as being violently opposed to Sunday movies, and that a' committee be appointed to see the proper autho rities.” “As Maine goes, so goes the na tion.” is an old saying. If this holds true this year the Republi cans are going to have a landslide. The Record is and has always been opposed to Sunday baseball, basketball, movie shows and all other worldly sports on Sunday. We may be old-fashioned for all that, but holy writ commands us to do our work in six days and keep the Sabbath day holy. Just how a person can keep the Lord’s day holy and go to worldly a- musements is something that we cannot understand, “for what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” Attention Rounds men The Davie Hunters’ Association was organized recently, the pur pose of which is to protect our hunting dogs from theft—c mnion theft. Practically every hunter in the county has, at one time or another, had the misfortune of losing a dog, the destiny of which was seldom learned. However, our better judgment tells us that common theft is the primary prob lem. So, coming together in a democrctic kind of way, we form ed this association to help this so called “racket.” The membership fee for one year is $5, $3 of which must be paid upon entering the club, and the remainder can be paid any time within the next year. We have a good number of members now, and when the news gets a- round to all, we feel that many more of our friends will join us. Hunters from adjoining who would like to become bers of our club are encouraged ^ tors were scarce to join us, whether you are a fox hunter, rabbit, bird or coon hun ter, you are all welcome. Men Meet Horri ble Death Wayne W. Fowler, of James town, and Tommie Thornhill, of Whitewright, Texas, met death near Cedar Creek bridge, 6 miles east of this city on the Winston- Salem highway, shortly before 6 o’clock last Tuesday morning. The men were driving trucks, which crashed near the bridge. Following the collision the trucks caught on fire and both men were burned beyond recognition. One truck was loaded with canned goods and the other with paste board containers. Fowler was said to have been killed by the impact, his body being partially rolled up in the top of the truck. The body of Fowler was carried to High Point Tuesday and the body of TommieThomhill was shipped to Whitewright, Texas, Wednes dav. It was said to have been im possible to ascertain exactly how the accident happened, according to Patrolman T. I. Badgett, who thought perhaps the driver of the Jamestown truck, seeing the other truck coming toward him across the bridge, applied the 1 brakes heavily, lost control and collided with the Texas truck, which going east after he had cleared the bridge. A number of accidents have oc curred on or near this bridge in the past several years.

They’re nice fellows all right and they don’t do it to hurt fny feelings, but I’m scared of audi ences, see, and every time I get tip in front of one my mouth starts to twitch and it makes my nose wiggle—like a rabbit’s. I’ve seen myself in a m irror and I got to ad mit if I was one of the fellows I’d oe calling me Bunhy too. You get ivhat I mean. Nine years I’ve been in Jake Little’s orchestra playing the sax Snd the bassoon. First we went all iver the country but now we’ve got a neat little spot in Hollywood, lake likes me and he thinks I play She sweetest sax he ever heard, but S long time ago he quit passing me solo parts because sure as I ever got up where I faced an audience I’d get nervous and my darned mouth would start twitching and well, there I was. I’ve had to sit back and watch plenty of other fellows come and go, getting the solos, getting the lands, getting the raises in pay, and getting new and bigger con tracts some place else. Now it’s Charley Welch. I play better’n he does—oh, that ain’t bragging—even Charley’U tell frou that. Only Charley’s got the personality.- And he’s good looking. And Marge likes him. That’s the rub. Marge is head usher here at the Zenobia. One of those cute little lashy-eyed girls in the satin uni- 'orms. You’ve seen ’em. Brass outtons down the front and swallow tails over their tight blue satin “ants. You wouldn’t think to look it Marge that she’s like she is. Practical and hard working. She’s had a tough time, see. 3he’s twenty-two but you’d never guess it. And she’s got a kid five ,•ears old. The cutest little trick ,ou ever saw. Vingie. Vingie likes me too. “Why do they call you Bunny?” she says to me, and she iooks at my ears like she thinks maybe they’ll grow up out of my lair. “Because I’m a rabbit, see,” I :ell her. Only I’m looking at her mother. Marge frowns and then she says, ‘That’s what makes me so mad at you. Why do you let yourself be a ••abbit?” Marge is like that. What she don’t want to be, she won’t let her self be. Marge got married when she was sixteen to some rich folks’ rid. He run out on her before Vingie was born and ever since Marge has taken care of herself. She's got a nice little apartment and she dresses Vingie up clean and cute. Oh I tell you, Marge is pm art. She’s too good for me. She ought to have a fellow that could do a jot for her. She says to me, “If you were only the sort who’d ever get ahead.” And she looks at me :ross. "I like you, Bunny,” .she’ll say, “better than any fellow I ever knew, but I don’t want to get m ar ried to a backseat sax player who’ll never be anything else.” Charley Welch has been making a play for Marge. I like Charley, pnly he’s the darnedest guy about getting to work on time. Always the last one. Skating across the stage and freezing into .position the very second the curtain starts up. We’ve kept telling him some time ne’ll miss it. He laughs and says he’ll commence starting earlier. But he never does. “Charley’s fun,” Marge says to me. “And he’ll get ahead too.” "Honey,” I says to her, "you’re not going to m arry Charley, are you?” "Well, I don’t know,” she says. “I could calm him down a little. And if he had a wife to see that he got started to work on time. . . . ” It gets me worried, see, and I begin to think that I want to get m arried to Marge so bad that may be now I could handle a solo spot and not go twitchy and muff it. So I ask Jake Little to give me a try. And he does, on one of the mati nees. Do I go over big? No, I sit back there and I don’t look at the audi ence but I know it’s out front. All them eyes. I begin to sweat and m y mouth goes to jumping. I sig nal Jake and he gets Charley to take over. I don’t even ask Marge to let me take her home, I just go on to my own place. And I think about out there. Charley’s playin’ his piece. I stand there and go through the motions. First thing I know I find myself lookin’ down at that audience. You know, it’s funny, but that’s the first time I ever saw the peo ple in an audience. It ain’t an octo pus any more. It’s fellows and girls and women that look like the woman that runs the restau rant where I eat, or the one who sits across the way on the bus. And what do you think I see. \Vhy, right there in the front row is Vingie. With a grin all the way across her little pink face. And clear in the back is Marge, and she’s watchin’ me so hard her eyes are round and shiny. Well, sir, my chest begins work ing again and I can breathe. My lips unfreeze. In a minute I’m standing there as easy as can be. Boy, is that a swell feeling!—Like sprouting wings. I’m still feeling like a bird on the loose when the show’s over and Marge comes back. She rushes right over to me, "Joe,” she says —first time she’s ever called me Joe. “Joe, you were wonderful. I knew you could do it.” And she takes my arm and hugs it to her. " ‘Joe,’ she says, ‘you were wonderful. I knew you eould do it.’ Vingie was there, too, dancing around and clapping hands.” Charley probably taking her home in his roadster. Charley’U laugh and say, "That poor Bunny.” Then comes the matinee when Charley don’t show. His seat’s empty and Jake is gettin’ nervous and the fellows are saying like they always do. "Don’t worry, he’ll be here.” But he don’t come, and the buzzer sounds . . . and Jake makes me come up and take Charley’s place. He looks down at me like he’s sore and he says, “You’ll do the solo. Get it?” So I’m stuck with it. And I tell myself, all right, you got to. You ain’t going to be a rabbit all your life. Think of Vingie. And remem ber, Marge is out there. I ain’t begun to twitch because I got my lips held so night they’re moving my teeth back into my mouth. T KNOW the part all right. I al- ways know all the parts. And I can play ’em like a million dollars at home. I can even play ’em for Marge. It’s the audience that gets me. AU them eyes. Okey, I teU myself, you do it this time, or you’re through. And I mean through. My time comes and I stand up. I start lifting my sax. I’m not twitch ing. . . . But my Ups has frozen solid over my teeth. I try, and get out of breath and my chest col lapses. But my sax is up. The cue comes. And the sweetest music I ever heard comes floating in from the wings. I look quick sideways. Charley’s ^ll(WlOU)S “Right behind her is Vingie and she’s saying, “I saw you, I saw you,” and dancing around and clap ping her hands. WeU, if I’m stiU a bird, I’m a dead one. AU that sweU feeling Is gone. One thing I’ve never done is Ue. I’ve been told I’m too dumb to Ue. WeU, maybe. But stiU I don’t Ue. Only so help me if I didn’t want to then. But I said, “It wasn’t me, Honey. Charley was playing from the wings.” So I tell her how it aU was. She looks at me and her eyes get shiny, and I’ve never seen her mouth so soft. “And you carried right on,” she said, and her voice sounded like it does when she talks to Vingie just before Vingie goes to sleep. "That was cute of you, Joe,” she says. And she takes hold of my arm again and says, "I promised Vin- .gie you’d take us out for a bite of dinner. WiU you?” Just then Charley goes by. “HeUo, Charley,” Marge says, and turns her back on him, plain as day. I’m beginning to see how much I owe the guy and I says, “Thanks, Charley,” and he just shakes his hands above his head and grins and keeps going! And Marge just says, “Come on, Vingie,” and holds out her hand. Vingie frowns a Uttle. "Can’t I walk on the other side and hold Joe’s hand?” So she does. That night Marge put her hands on my shoulders and says: “Joe, I think you’re going places.” Then she leans against me and puts her face into my coat. “WiU you take me with you?” she says. And th e re ’s V ingie dancing around us clapping her hands, and saying, "Me, too, Joey, me, too!” >,/1' A .

Those of Cheju, 50 miles off Ko rea’s southern tip, have been nota bly adept. An estimated 10,000 to day live by harvesting ocean acres, while their men in some cases tend the children and prepare the meals, notes the National Geographic so ciety. From this feminine monopoly has grown the tradition of Cheju as an Amazon isle. It took positive form in the West about 1900 when a traveler brought back the tale that the island until 1850 had been popu lated solely by women and young children in storied Amazon style. In the 1946 census, Cheju counted 276,148 inhabitants, virtually all on the coasts of the 45-by-20-mile oval of land. There were 113 women to each 100 men on Cheju In 1946, whereas on the Korean mainland men outnumbered women. Cheju port on 'the north coast is the island’s capital and chief cen ter, counting 30,000 inhabitants. They live largely in crude, thatch- ed-roof huts of mud and stone. An cient walls to defend against pirate attack still stand along the shore. Life of Samuel Colt After being expelled from Am herst, Samuel Colt was sent to sea. The ship's paddle wheel gave him Sn idea for the revolving pistol cylinder. At the age of 14 he whit tled out a model and it worked. Later, he quit his father’s dye plant to seek his fortune as “Dr. Coult”. In 1832 he sent his plan of a gun to thg U. S. patent office, and was awarded a patent in 1836. After the original company failed, Colt invented the submarine “mine”, while still in his twenties. He died wealthy at the age of 48. SAfAP/C&tC*Z£//IA/0POP/ S4Y ...

Jrkattsas “Housing”, Sounds Good Public housing proposals, like so many other measures that would take America ‘way down the. road to Socialism, come up in nearly every session of Congress. A gov ernment housing program, known as the Taft-Ellender-Wagner bill, found enough support "in the recent Congress to get through the Senate. It failed in the House. Bills of this type have at least nine lives, and you can expect to see more of them later. It sounds good to nearly every body to say that “low-income” families are entitled to housing. When the real issues are all clouded up with emotion and sentimental ism, there are some who will vote "yes” without taking the trouble to get down to facts. I, too, favor “housing.” Housing is essential for everybody. But I am also aware that the needy, the unemployable, the very lowest-paid workers, do not get into public housing projects. What Is Low Income? From all reports, the situation at a 550-family unit government project in New York State is typical. The law states that a family earning more than $1,700 cannot qualify there for an apart ment. Yet, half the families in the project have incomes above the minimum, some up to $8,000. Only a very few destitute families ever get into government housing. They cannot pay the high maintenance and operating costs. Even govern ment rents are too high for them. I say these things to shed lighton the arguments of the planners, who dcte on the goodness of the government. Their sentimental propaganda serves no purpose but to mislead. The T-E-W bill prom ised to build homes for "low-in- come” families. Perhaps there art' 10 million, 20 million, or maybe 30 million. What’s the measuring stick for a ‘'low-income” family? Who would decide about this? And where would they be put up? To Get the Vote. A joint committee of the 80th Congress found that the Federal Public Housing Authority, even with a “dormant” program, em ployed 6,571 persons and used up a budget of more than $11,000,000 a year. A major part of the FPHA’s activities were devoted to creating a desire on the part of the public to depend completely upon a benevolent government. Nor has the FPHA overlooked its op portunities to set up systems of political patronage. The T-E-W bill calls for 500,000 units of housing uver the next five years. Despite the tremendous cost of $7 billion, this amount would not even begin to satisfy all the “low- income” families, But it would be enough to satisfy many a politi cian. Think of the possibilities for keeping the party vote in line. Why couldn’t the government projects be put up where they would bring in the vote? Despite all these dangers, the sorry part is that public housing can give us no expanded production of materials, no additional skilled construction workers. In short, it cannot relieve the housing short age. Besides real discouragement to more private housing construc tion, the government would extend its powers over all the people through public housing. We must not be fooled this way into accept ing Socialism. , DAVIE BRICK COMPANY DEALERS.'IN GOOD COAL Dav t*hnn'> 194 - Niirht Fhnnr 119 M-i-k«vii|». N.

JrftMUt , Do You Envy Profits? All the talk about profits and profi teers has put a lot of us on the wrong track. There has been so much of this misleading talk during the past decade that some of our youngsters are be ginning to think there is something immoral about making a profit-.at all. Some of them take it so seriously that they think the profit system should be junked in America. On the contrary, I am convinced that the profit system is the very spark plug: of our economy. I have given this subject a lot of study. However, it isn’t very difficult to see that workers are in for trouble if they are employed by a business that doesn’t make a profit. More than this, I think profits are too small for the good of workers and the good of the American public. First Aid to Labor Some people seem to think that if no profits were made at all, the workers !would get more wages. This cannot be. My belief is that the part of the sales dollar called profit actually helps the workers more than it helps anyone else. More than that, I believe it can be proved that the part of the sales dollar called profits actually helps labor more than does the part of sales dollar called wages. Consider an example. Fifty years ago it required 8 hours’ work for one man to shape the top of a gasoline tank for an automobile.' He was paid less than for the job, which he did by hand. Finally, the automobile idea caught on, and vehicles sold. From profits, the companies have continually built up bettor and better plants. Twls are good and efficient. Working condi tions are always being improved. Prof its have brought all these things. Profits Pay Off Nowadays, an auto worker shapes the top of a gasoline tank in one min ute, instead of eight hours. He is happy to work in a clean and sanitary plant. He uses modern tools that are productive and efficient. Most of the back-breaking labor is done by elec tricity or other power. Even after the cost of keeping up the plant and its modem tools, the modern auto worker earns $10 a day instead of the $1 a day of fifty years ago. Was it wages that enabled the worker to increase his pay ten-fold? Just asking for higher wages didn’t mean that they were forthcoming. There was more to it than that. It was profits that built the improved plant and bought the improved tools. Had no profits been made the workers would still be working foi $1 a day, or less. This is not difficult reasoning, but it shows what profits are worth to the workers. Everybody Profits What about the public? If the mod ern automobile like the Ford or Chev rolet had to be made by hand, it would cost $50,000 to make at present wages. Yet, with modern tools such a car is made and sold for less than $2,000. That is what profits have done for the public. Today it is possible to buy an automobile for 4 per cent of what it would cost if no profits had been avail able for better plants and tools. This money for modern plants and efficient tools can come from only two places: from profits, or from loans. But the business that is not making profits cannot borrow for long. In reality, then, this money must come from profits. Better plants and tools couldn’t be had without profits. If we stop prof its we stop increases in wages and we stop the march of production toward lower prices. That way, we injure both workers and the public. A REAL DIPLOMAT “Pa,’’ said Hector, lookicg from the book'he was reading, "what is meant by 'diplomatic phraseology’ ?” “Well,” replied Pa, “if you were to say to a homely girl. 4Your face would stop a clock,’ that would be stupidity, but if you said to her, 'Wlifen I look into your eyes, time stands still,’ that would be diplomatic phraseology!” Surprise for Mom! Miss Smith, young Joey’s piano teacher, was having considerable trouble trying to get him to practice his exercises. Finally, turning to him in despair, she said, “Joe, don’t you want to grow up to be a great con cert pianist?” “Ah, no,” Joey spoke up. “These music lessons are just a taste of money. I’m going to be a prizefighter when I grow up. But I’m keeping it from Mom as a surprise.” Marital Bliss Wife: “I looked over the rest of the men at the party and I was so glad that I was married to you.” Husband: “Thanlra, Sweetheart!"

A tinnms How to Lose Out The government lost $2,000,000 a day while running the nation’s rail roads in World War I. That’s not hay! The government operators got rid of that money even though they found it necessary to jump freight rates HO per cent! This sad ex perience gives you a real-life pic ture of what happens in America under government management of industry. Every time we try it in America, the nation as a whole it the loser. Compare that record with the railroad management’s record In World War II. This time we kept private operation and management. There was no increase in freight rates, and the railroads paid $4,- 000,000 a day to the federal govern ment in taxes. This means that under private management our peo ple were ahead at least $6,000,000 a day. That’s over two biilion dol lars a year! To Suffer Most Not long ago 21 railroad unions came out with a proposal that the govefnment take over the railroads permanently. Surely, somebody is terribly misguided or misinformed. If our union people will study the records of government manage ment in this and other countries, they wUl make no such demands. Actually, the railroad unions them selves would be the groups to suffer most under government manage ment. Our workers have a huge stake in the American way. If private ownership of industry is worth sav ing, then we must do everything we can to stave off these tendencies toward Socialism and Communism. Best Service, More Pay Railroads in the United States and one Canadian line are the only railroads in the world that are not government owned or government controlled. Where do you have the best railroads and the best service? In America. Our railroads offer better service at lower cost than you’ll find in any other nation in the world. This is true even, though the pay envelope of the American railroad worker is far greater than that of railroad workers in other nations. It would be much wiser for our unions to ca'll for less government strangulation in the form of taxes, not for more control. It is quite possible for a slow strangling process to bring on complete gov ernment control of railroads. We must not permit that. Our workers must continue to rcceive the good wages and benefits Ihat corns C;-om railroads controlled by the' railroad industry, not by an agency of the government. Experience, 1N0I f Operating expeftses of railroads have soared during the past 30 years. Yet, the railroads under private ownership have increased their efficiency, to serve the public bettor at lower cost. Two things have resulted from this efficiency: higher wages and lower costs to the shipping and traveling public. Nobody would expect government managed railroads to do these things. And they wouldn’t. Under government operation there is no call for initiative. Competi tion is not allowed to play its part in keeping us on our toes. We have high standards of living in America simply because we have freedom to act and to look opportunities in the face. We invest savings and earnings, not tax money, for better tools and modernization. Our ways have paid off. A look at nations around us shows the folly of gov ernment ownership.

Rich Gold and Ore Veins Discovered in Australia Two rich gold strikes and the dis covery of scheelite deposits are re ported from Perth, Western Aus tralia. Selected ore taken from a claim at Parker's Range yielded 65 ounces 17 pennyworths of gold from three hundredweighths of stone. A total of 300 ounces has been taken from this reef. The second strike is reported in I the Kalgoorlie district on property adjoining the new Kalgaorlie gold mines in which capital was over subscribed in a few minutes when made available for public subscrip tion. A large body of stone 38 feet wide which assayed over an ounce of gold to a ton at a depth of 54 feet was uncovered. At Kalgoorlie, hub of the Austral ian gold mining industry, a seam of scheelite has been found a mile and a half away from the famous “Gold en Mile.” It is the first discovery of this mineral in that area. The scheelite was found in a deposit of quartz. Specimens from the seam subjected to tests disclosed scheelite in fairly large quantities. (■ U n c l e S a m S a y s How time flics!

And by the same token there are few who canmit feel the satisfaction of planting their money where it will grow. Invest in U. S. Savings Bonds and your money will grow, producing $4 for every $3 put into these bonds. Your country needs your money and you will need money to do the things you dream of today.

Lie Down Strike Good Vear for Many The year 1947 whs the most pros perous peacetime year in history. This is especially inlt-i esting in view of numerous early predictions that a business recession was imminent, point out business research workers at University of Illinois. Reasons why the recession did not material ize included: short crops in both Europe and the United States, and resulting higher food prices; exports higher than expected: the backlog of demand proving larger than was an ticipated, with bottlenecks prevent- ing production of many commodities from meeting demands; increase in consumer credit.-and bank loans to Individuals, and increased wages to coal miners leading to price in creases in coal, steel and automo biles adding impetus to inflation. Hens Laying More Eggs The American hen today is re sponding to better care and man agement by laying 15 per cent more eggs annually than she did at the beginning of World War II. This re markable rise in annual egg produc tion per bird from an average of 134 in 1940 to 154 now is due largely to the increase of better breeding stock, employment of sound man agement techniques, advances in disease control and greater use of scientifically balanced feeds. Such is the conclusion reached by poultry nutritionists and other authorities, who point out that this new record was accomplished despite many war-imposed shortages that necessi tated constant changing of formulas to maintain feeds in proper nutri tional balance. A d o c to r was called upon to attend the hutler of .an aristo cratic but impecunious p'.-timi When he arrived he found 'lie inan in bed, and a superficial examina tion revealed that there wa.- ucil.li ing whatever the m atter with hiiu "It’s like this,” said the busier is a hoarse whisper, “Mrs. Pai l iny ton owes me $30 in wages, ami Pu. going to stay in bed until I get ,1 " “And a darned good idea, ti.n" said the doctor. “Move over si. owes me $250.” WELL—AH—PERHAPS “Has Grandpa left for n . ! yet, mommie?” asked the 111: = ■ girl. “No, dear,” replied her inothet "Grandpa is retired. He do.' ii'; work.” “But, mommie, he goes to race track every day. Doesn't U work out there?” Missed by a Drop 'he pastor of a little church 11 Vcitnont was famous for the Iac that every one of his sermons lasted 22 minutes. Then one unfortunate Sunday the sermon lasted three- quarters of an hour. At dinner his mortified wife asked him what had gone amiss. “It was one of those things," said the pastor moodily. “My secret de vice was to slide a cough drop under my tongue just before beginning the sermon. It melted in exactly 22 minutes. Then I knew it was time to stop. This morning I was talking for over 40 minutes before I realized my cough drop was a suspender button.” DRUMMING UP BUSINESS Little Georgie received a new drum for a gift and shortly there after, when father came home from work one evening, mother said: “I don’t think that man upstairs likes to hear Georgie play his drum,” but he’s certainly subtle about it.” Father: “Why?" Mother: “Well, this afternoon he gave Georgie a knife, and asked him if he knew what was inside the drum.” Farewell Speech Herman Fitzpatrick was a great landowner in Ireland in the days before that fair land became inde pendent of mother England. The country was, as always, in a great ferment of polities1 excitement. To this kindly and indulgent landlord there came one night a tenant, hat in hand, asking a favor. “Shure, it’s this way, Mr. Fitz patrick,” the man ex p lain ed , "they’re after asking me to make a political speech at a political meeting in the village this night, and I be thinkin’ maybe your honor would help me with my speech?” “Of course I will,” the great land lord replied, "if you will tell me what you want to speak about.” The tenant hesitated, and then blurted out: “That be a delicate question, your honor, as the subject we are discussing is—dividing up your honor’s land!” GOOD-NATURED COW “I’ve got a cow I want to sell you, Charlie.” "YeB ? Would she fit into my Guern sey herd?” “No; I dunno as she would.” “Does she give lots of milk?” "No; I can’t say as she gives lots of milk, but I can tell you this: She’s a kind, gentle, good natured old cow, and Jf she’s got any milk she’ll give it to you.” He Got the Girl A YOUNG Frenchman, poor but am- ** bitious, was anxious to marry the daughter of a certain gentleman of wealth. He consulted -a lawyer friend as to how this might be accomplished. "I have been invited to dine at that gentleman's house, next Wednesday,” the lawyer said. “Just leave the matter in my hands. Hut, first, let me ask you a question: Would you suffer anyone to cut off your nose if he would give you a hundred thousand francs?" “Of course not,” the poor young man replied. “Very well,” said the attorney. “That’s all I wanted to know.” At the dinner, the lawyer adroitly brought up the subject of the poverty- stricken young suitor. “By the way,” said the rich host, “can you tell whether that young man has any money?” "Yes, I can,” said the lawyer. “I understand he has no ready cash at present, but I also know for a certainty that he has at least one asset for which he has been offered, and for which he has refused a hundred th o u sa n d francs.” The young man got the girl—with a handsome dowry. WHEN I WAS YOUNG- Dad to Son: “I never knew what it was to kiss a girl fill I met your mother. Will you be able fo tell your son the same?” Son: "Sure, but not with such a straight face.” Neck Pains Brown was a very light sleeper. One night he was obliged to stop at a small hotel and, after much trouble, finally succeeded in getting to sleep. Two hours later came a loud knocking Dn his door. “What’s the matter?” he asked sleepily. “Package downstairs for you, sir,” same a boy’s voice. “Well, let it stay there. It can wait until morning, I suppose?” The boy shuffled down the corridof and after a long time Brown fell asleep again. Then came another knocking on the door. . "Well, what’s up now?” Brown de manded. “That package—it isn’t for you!” WELL LIT When a gentleman living 111 the country went to dine with a neighbor he lighted his way down the dark, tree covered lane with an old-fashioned stableman’s lantern. The dinner and wine were excellent. The next morning, however, he re ceived the following note from his host of the night before: Dear Bob: I am sending my man over with your lantern. If you are quite finished with my parrot and cage I shall be glad if you will trade them back to me.

'''■•--fury Department Facts About The South By Bryan Collier Washington—Those who say I he South is “solid Democrat’’ jn«» hasn’t bothered to stndy election statistics. The facts are that only two Southern States were still *'sold’’ as recently as 1944, in that Repub lican votes were negligible. The GOP polled only 7 6er cant of tne MissiseipDl vote in ’44, only 5 per' cent of the South Carolina vote But in every other “Dixie” State In 1944. the Republican ticket poll, ed 18 per cent nr better of the total vote, rnd the percentages- ranged upward to 30 per cent In Arkansas and Florida, 33 per cent in North Carolina. 39 per cent in TeAnessee and 40 per cent in Virginia. In tha 18 percent bracket were Alabama and Georgia. Texas gave Governor Dewev 19 per cent even aeainst Roosevelt and the “don’t change commanders” there. Loui siana gave him 20 per cent. Throughout all eleven “South ern” States, Governor Dewev poll ed in 1944 26 of the total vote! Better than one out of four Southerners were voting Repnbli. can even then! “Moreover, the pattern of Re publican strength in the South has shown a uniform increase during the last three Presidentinl elections. Let’s take three States for exam ples. In Texas, GovernorLandonpoll. ed onlv 12 per cent of the vote in 1936, Mr. Willkie got 19 per cent In 1940 and Governor Dewey 19 per cent 1944 In North Carolina Landon and Wilkie both got 26 per cent, but Governor Dewev raised it Io 33 per cent—almost ex actly one in three! In Georgia. Landon got t2 per cent, Wilkie 15 per cent, Dewey 18 per cent. Analysis of the statistics for the 1944 elections shows an interesting difference in Republican Strength within two sections of the* Sonth itself. In the six Southeastern States— the North-South “tier” including Virginia, the Carolinas, Tennessee Georgia and Florida — Governor Dewey in 1944 polled 31.5 percent of the total vote. But in the "deeppr” South— Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana. Arkansas and Texas—his med:an percentage was 23.3. Maybe thts shows were the GOP had best concentrate its efforts in 1948. _______________ Now is the time to sub scribe for The Record.

He was leav ing a hard life behind, years of Hand-to-mouth existence, years of depending on occasional charter trips and the students able to pay the high rates on his big machine, rhe future opened before him: He would get a new ship, one of those long-range, all metal jobs, go in for long-distance competitive races. And he would have a swell-looking girl with a pile of dough to pay the bills. He glanced at the instrument board, saw that everything was all right. The cabin ship roared stead ily over Connecticut at four thou sand feet. There were scattered clouds beneath him, but not enough to hide the ground. His luck was breaking right for the first time, just right. Reaching up, he patted the mascot swinging from the roof on a length of ribbon. Il was a small doll, black of face, with two pearl buttons set in' the satin for eyes, a piece of red silk [ stitched across the lower half of | the face for a mouth. It was garbed I in a loud plaid dress green and red. That rag-stuffed little figure had been hanging in this ship for over two years. Palmer had come to be lieve it was lucky. The girl who had loaned him the down payment on the machine had put it there. He DOLL FOR LUCK By GENE GILBERT He jerked the doll loose and tossed it ont through the open side window. had met her one summer whe-i he had been barnstorming with a small, old ship, and they had knocked around together for three months. She had been pretty sure of herself, Palmer recalled, loaned him money, talked about how “we” were going to make a fortune with the larger ship. He recalled the night when they had won the doll at a small car nival, in one of the ring-toss games. He had made up his mind already to pull out sometime soon. And it had annoyed him somewhat to see her having such a gay time. But he could not tell her, there was no need to say goodbye tearfully and have her bawl and carry on in front of him. On their way home she had in sisted that they go to the field where his ship was staked down in the open, and sit in the cabin for a few minutes. She had been big, and light blonde and sentimen tal. Just before they had left the cabin, she had pinned the thing to the upholstery on the ceiling. “That’s our luck, Eric,” she had said. “As long as she’s there, we’ll always be safe.” Palmer had smiled, kissed her and taken her home. At dawn of the same morning, he had taken off and come East. He had never returned. Once in a while, a letter from her had caught up with him, but he had not answered. What was the use? He had intended to send her back the loan when he could. He was grateful for the help, and everything. But how could he explain without hurting her, that they were just not suited to each other? When the letters had stopped coming, he had thought that she had understood. Then some fellow, who had known them both, had handed him a clipping, without a word. She had been killed in a crossing accident. It seemed that her car had stalled on the tracks, and that she had made no effort to get out. The fellow evidently thought she had done it on pur pose. Palmer knew better. That girl had had character, she would not have done away with herself over a few hundred bucks and a broken engagement. He had been tempted to take that doll down. Then he had rea soned that it would be, in a way, an admission of remorse. And he had nothing to blame himself for. The doll had brought him luck at last: Eleanore. She had looks and background and money. Further more, she had the kind of a spirit he liked, which he needed close to him. To her, a ship wasn’t some thing to work for a small house, for an ordinary living. She enjoyed what he enjoyed, fame, her name in the papers. She loved him, all right, but she would always understand that he must take long chances. A HEAD, he saw the small field where she was waiting. They would drive to her home, be m ar ried, and fly away. He tipped his left wing, banked lazily over a field. A bright spot of color de tached itself from a long, sleek, dark car. Eleanore waving her scarf. That was service—already: His girl waiting for him with a sixteen cylinder bus, complete with chauffeur. His spirits surged higher. This was a private airport, no inspector would be around, so he was safe in giving her a show. He slammed the motor full on, nosed down then hauled the ship up and over in a tight loop. He leveled off and eased her around, a few wing-overs—and level flight again. Something caught his eye, the doll, swinging from the roof, grin ning redly. He smiled and slapped it like a punching-bag a few times, glanced at his altimeter. He still had fifteen hundred feet. One last stunt and then he could land. He circled the field once more, swung around and when he was almost ov er the car, shoved the throttle full on and dove in a screaming fall. The moving doll again attracted his glance. Eleanore had tightened her lips when he had told her it was a souvenir from a dame, before he got serious with her. It might be tactful to ditch it now—scarcely the memento for a perfect honey moon! A small sacrifice to love. He reached out, jerked it loose and tossed it out through the open side window and pulled the wheel back to neutral. Eleanore was standing still by the side of the car, he noticed and he decided to level off. No need to frighten her. He hauled back fur ther on the wheel. It yielded an inch —and stuck. He pulled again, hard er, and the wheel stuck—the wheel stuck— He must get her nose up, level off—he was doing better than two hundred and the ground was close. Too close . . .# • • Caught between the horizontal stabilizer and the counterweight for the elevators, the small black doll in the loud green and red plaid dress seemed to widen the grin of her scarlet satin mouth. TRICKS FOR TEENS By NANCY PEPPER Mock Turtle. . The latest fashion to turn into a fad is the long-sleeved, turtle neck cotton knit T-shirt. You’re wearing it in white only and you tie one of your shad ed silk scarfs under the roll collar with the long ends hang ing down in back. On the front of your turtle neck shirt you wear your trickiest pin or set of match ing pins. At a CALLING ALL GIRLS fashion show held up in Stamford, Conn., we counted no less than eight of these shirts, similarly scarfed, in the first row of the audience! Your favorite teen department has the T shirts, you have the scarfs—so what H E W H O IS GLAD Grace Noll Crowell £ WHO is glad for every day’s bright beauty, For a flower or a ied leaf in the wood, Who seeks fresh color in each hour's drab duty, I think he thanks his Maker as he should. He who is brave to meet each day’s new sorrow, Whose courage marches with him as he goes, Carries a stronger heart into tomorrow, And thus thanks God the very best he knows. He who walks calmly, surely, through disaster, Trusting In unseen hand to bring him peace, Lifts up his life, a prayer unto his Master, And offers him a praise that does not cease.

"Glad to Hear It”—Your comment on any good news. "Sad to Hear It”—Ditto on any bad news. “Concoct a Witticism—Very for mal for "pop a corny.” "That’s Your Red Wagon”—That’s your worry. "Icky Bird”—New name for a drip and no relation to the Dicky Bird who announces spring in that popular song. "T Man” — Top man, formerly known as your O. A. O. "Once in a Red Moon”—Indicates a much longer interval than the traditional “Blue Moon.” "I Wish Your Mother Had Raised Ducks Instead”—This retort can mean only one thing; that you wish the person to whom you’re talking had never been bom.

This pain may radiate down the arm and is described as tightness or squeezing in character. Quite frequently it is attended by vomit ing, and naturally is thought to be an attack of acute indigestion. The only first aid that can be given in the home is to have the patient sit quietly until the pain subsides. If the patient has been under the care of a physician he will usually car ry nitrogycerin tablets given to him by the physician. One of these tablets should be placed under the patient’s tongue. If the pain or vomiting continues, a doctor should be called at once. The re cognition of this type of heart at tack, not putting it down as just in digestion, and seeking medical aid et once, may save a person's life.

I Two of the entertainment feat ures of the Winston-Salem and Forsyth County Fair of 1948 were “written up” in a single issue of “Life” Magazine recently as the Iargestand most outstanding in their respective fields. “And the same thing can be s_id of the en tire Fair that is to open Tuesday, October 5—it is North Carolina’s largest and most outstanding agri cultural fair,” Manager Tom S. Blum declares. The two attractions that receiv ed such favorable notice in the na- tionally-circulated magazine were the World of Mirth Shows, which will provide the midway attrac tions at the Winston Salem Fair, and Joie Chitwood’s Auto Dare devils, who will be seen Friday af ternoon, Oct. 8th, and Saturday night, Oct. 9th. This year’s fair at Winston-Sal em will exceed any previous effort, in size, quality and attractions for all visitors, Mr. Blum says. All disp.ay space has been reserved and the exhibits of farm and home products will be well worth see ing. The prize list for these dis plays has been increased and the arrangements will be representa tive of the Piedmont area. The livestock exhibits will be valuable for their proof of the rapid ad- vanefcment Piedmont North Caro Iina has made in this respect. There’s always plenty to interest all ages at the W nston Salem Fair and Mr. Blum declares this year is no exception. The big midway, with its rides, shows, thrills and brilliant lights, will be the center of attraction for all comers. Then there will be the horse races Tues day, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons; Joie Chitwood’s Auto Daredevils Friday afternoon aud Saturday night, doing things with automobiles that have to be seen to be believed; and the thrill ing motorcycle races Saturday af ternoon. The famous George A. Hamid attractions will present the enter tainment in front of the grand stand, with an elaborate revue, featuring music, dancing and pret ty girls, each evening immediately preceding the thrilling fireworks. Wednesday, Oct. 6th, is “Coun ty School Day,” with all school children and teachers in Forsyth and adjoining coundes admitted to the grounds free of chare.

Trygve Lie, secretary-general of the United Nations, beams as be accepts from former French Prem ier Robert Schuman a golden key as a symbol of France’s temporary surrender of sovereignty over the Palais de Chailiot, where the U. N. general assembly opened on September 21. Wbat treasures of peace that key might unlock this year is a question that gives pause to the entire world. CAMPAIGN: Trumpets Sounded Politicians cleared their throats as with the sound of trumpets, and the 1948 presidential election cam paign swept into motion. The first skirmish between Demo crats and Republicans featured President Truman and Harold E. Stassep, who carried the word of their respective parties into the great industrial area around De troit. THAT INDICATED that, for the time being at least, the pivotal fac tor directing the policies of both GOP and Democratic campaigns would be the labor vote. To win the election this Novem ber Mr. Truman probably will need the same proportionate amount of the labor vote that turned out in favor of Roosevelt in the 1932, 1936 and 1940 campaigns. Whether he will get it is very much open to question at this stage. Truman Launching his battle for re-elec- tion in the Detroit area over the Labor Day week-end, President Truman fired at will. AT GRAND RAPIDS, Lansing, Detroit, Pontiac and Flint he ex horted all the “little people” of the U. S. to register and vote in the November 2 election. If a heavy vote turns out, he in sisted, not only will he be re-elected, but the Republican majority in con gress will be replaced by a Demo cratic one. “IF YOU STAY home next No vember and keep these reaction aries in power, you will deserve every blow you get and you can expect a barrage of body blows,” said Mr. Truman. This was a repeti tion of an idea—that “you’ll get what you deserve”—which he had expressed earlier in the year and which, at the time, was received with some animosity by the people to whom he addressed it. “You can elect a reactionary ad ministration and go into an era of fear, or you can elect a congress and an administration that stand ready to play fair with every elem ent of American life and enter an era of new hope. We’re in a hard, tough fight against shrewd, rich op ponents. They don’t count on your vote; they just don’t want you to vote.” Judging from his Labor Day speeches, Prfesident Truman is planning to shape his campaign around these contentions: 1. THAT THE MAIN issue boils down to Republican special privi leges as against Democratic con cern for the little man. 2. THAT THE “DO-NOTHING 80th congress, under GOP control, has done nothing to justify its re- election. 3. THAT ANYTHING EXCEPT an all-out vote by labor on election day “would be a betrayal by la bor of its own interests.” 4. THAT IF THE MASS of the nation’s voters go to the polls on election day a Democratic victory is assured. Stassen Just a step and a half behind Mr. Truman came Harold E. Stassen, striving valiantly to scatter the coals of the bonfire the President had kindled in Detroit. Apparently blessed by Thomas E. Dewey, GOP presidential candidate, Stassen’s speech in the motor city was billed as the official kickoff of the Republican campaign. Employment Record The U. S. rounded the turn from summer to autumn with its civilian employment at the highest level in the history of the nation. Approximately 61.5 million work ers are employed, while the unem ployed number only 2,227,000 as compared to more than 12 million during the gloomy depression years of the early 1930s. Personal pros perity now depends, however, on the impact of inflation. STASSEN SPARED no words in taking President Truman to task, referring to him as a “complain ing” failure who had resorted to “demagogic appeals” in seeking re- election. Specifically, he charged that Mr. Truman had “dishonored labor with an extreme demagogic appeal to set class against class.” In thus resorting to the time-hon- ored political device of attacking and reproaching the opponent from a personal standpoint, Stassen had gone Mr. Truman one better. In his- Detroit addresses the President did not even mention Thomas Dewey. THE DEFEATED GOP aspirant for the party’s nomination declared that Mr. Truman had come not to laud labor for its record, but “as a complaining candidate for election seeking labor’s vote.” “His scolding, threatening, com plaining speeches” indicated that he lacks the leadership “in affairs at home and abroad so vitally need ed in these next crucial years,” said Stassen. "He failed when he had a Demo cratic congress to work with, “He failed when he.had a Repub lican congress to work with.” TCRNDfG TO THE political foot ball which the election year has made of the issue of Communist activities in the U. S., Stassen as serted that the Republican party is “driving the red herring out of the official waters of the Potomac” by means of congressional inquiries into the Communist problem. “Too many red herrings have been in Washington for too long a time,” he blasted. “The President should help man the red herring nets instead of complaining against the fishermen.” BERLIN: More Trouble There was, it appeared, no end to the Russian-sponsored trouble in Berlin, and it was having its grimly detrimental effect on the fiber of the peace. Latest incident piled atop many other instances of petty Soviet en croachments, needed little more than a small flame to turn into a funeral pyre for what is left of world harmony. IT WAS A FLAGRANT invasion of American offices in the Berlin city hall by armed Russian-con trolled police who kidnapped 19 western sector policemen who had sought sanctuary in the building. What the purpose of the raid was never became quite clear. On the surface it looked like pure terror ization carried out as part of the overall Soviet plan eventually to get control of the entire German capi tal. AN AMERICAN protest by Col. Frank Howley, American comman dant in Berlin, was rejected blunt ly by the Soviet commander, Maj. Gen. Alexander Kotikov, who flatly warned the U. S. officials “not to in terfere in m atters which don’t con cern them.” Kotikov’s letter followed rejection of French protests that demanded the release of another 19 anti-Com- munist western sector policemen who were kidnaped by Soviet police while traveling in a French convoy under a Russian guarantee of safe conduct. In the face of these intolerable developments, how could East-West negotiations for a Berlin agreement continue? Apparently they couldn’t, except under almost impossible strain. SECRETARY OF STATE George Marshall charged that the Berlin city hall kidnapings were aimed, at least in part, at disrupting the talks by the four military gover nors who were, ostensibly, seeking the road to a settlement of the Ber lin problem and the issue of uni form currency. Thus, it was easy to understand why U. S. diplomatic authorities were concerned with the possibil ity of an early collapse of the for mal negotiations. It was likely that the Kremlin would be the first to flash the red light. GO- (Editor’s Note: While Drew Pearson is on vacation, the Washington Merry-Go-Round is being written by his old part ner, Robert S. Allen.) Lewis May Retire TOHN L. LEWIS intimates are J whispering a startling report about him. They say he is seriously consid ering retiring as president of the United Mine Workers at the union’s October 2 convention in Cincinnati. Poor health is given as Lewis’ reason. The 68-year-old miner czar has had a number of sick spells in the last few years. He is suffering from a circulatory ailment that af fects the heart. The past two months Lewis was in seclusion at a Mon tana health resort, on the advice of his doctors. If Lewis steps down, he will do so at the peak of his power and with his union larger and more prosperous than at any time In its stormy history. Min ers are drawing more pay than ever before, receive bigger pen sions, and the UMW treasury bulges with more than 10 mil lion dollars in government se curities. In the event Lewis quits, his suc cessor will be UMW Vice President Tom Kennedy. Short, quiet-man nered, soft-spoken and friendly, he is the direct antithesis to the tur bulent and melodramatic Lewis. But the two men are very close. Lewis’ retirement plan, accord ing to intimates, does not include complete separation from the UMW. He will retain an active hold on its affairs. Campaisn Bombshell President Truman is quietly nursing a bombshell he will de tonate during his western cam paign tour. It will be the announcement that’ a number of reclamation projects will have to be shut down because the G.O.P.-con- trolled congress failed to pro vide sufficient funds. Top among these projects are Boysen in Wyoming, Heart river and An gostura in the Dakotas. The President will charge this is an other example of congressional disregard of public welfare. More Fuels Assured The outlook is very promising for more fuels this coming winter than last. Barring some unexpected upset, the supply of coal, oil and natural gas will be from 10 to 20 per cent greater than last winter. Certain sections may encounter shortages but the country generally will have enough winter fuels to meet normal needs. Of the three m ajor fuels, coal is in best supply. Reserve stocks are now so ample that restric tions on foreign export were re moved September I. Fuel oil output is now 10 per cent above that of last year—an increase slightly above the expansion in use of this fuel. Also, reserve stocks are considerably ahead of 1947. If everyone uses restraint, there ■will be enough fuels for all this winter.* * * Biting the Hand . . . •The Greek government doesn’t like the salaries the U. S. is paying its Greek aid mission officials. This money comes from U. S. tax payers, the same as the remainder of the $500,000,000 the U. S. is pour ing into Greece for recovery and m ilitary purposes. Also, the two toughest prob lems confronting aid officials are to try to get the Greek gov ernment to impose a just tax on its wealthy classes and to lop off thousands of drones on the government payroll. Notwithstanding all this, the Greek national economy commis sion, at a recent meeting, sharply assailed U. S. mission pay scales. The commission was particularly outraged by one salary for $12,000 a year and another for $10,000. These were held “out of proportion not only in relation to the salaries of local employees but also to those which the U. S. pays its highest officers.”• * • Best*Selling Diary The U. S. government is profiting very handsomely from the diary of the late and unlamented Joseph Goebbels, Nazi propaganda minis ter. To date, the publication has netted the alien property custodian over $300,000. Found by a German In Ber lin’s rubble, the manuscript was initially traded for 16 cartons of cigarettes. For a while, it looked like the lucky American publisher would make a big killing from book, mag azine and newspaper syndication sales. But> Asst. Atty. Gen. David Bazalon stepped in and claimed the work as U. S. property. It has been paying off to the U. S. treasury W a s h i n g t o n D ’i 9 e s t j Autumn Offers Many Joys For the Faithful Beholder Py BAUKHAGE Netvt Analyst and Commentator. WASHINGTON, D. C.—You are reading these lines, I trust, not too long after the autumnal equinox, which I hope you cele brated with the proper ceremonies. The word equinox is Latin for "equal night” which implies equal day. All over the earth there is that kind of equality at this time. Thus the Creator established equality of such nice perfection that neither the strongest telescope nor the most accurate micrometer can question it. Equality was some thing that had no measure of weight until the philoso phers proclaimed it and until it was preached to the western world by a lowly carpenter’s son of Nazareth. We worked near ly 2,000 years be fo re a p o litica l goal em bodying th is philosophy was written into the C onstitution of a nation — the United States. It is an unachieved goal but one more nearly reached here than anywhere else in the world—fellow travelers to the contrary, notwithstanding. Strangely enough, the one idea chiefly associated with equality of day and night—the equinox—has been proved utterly unfounded. For a long tim e it was generally ac cepted (and is still believed by many) that violent storms which were given the name, “equinoxial gales” are prevalent at this season. Suppose you were to approach the 10 men—or twenty or thirty —who have spent the most time studying this particular subject, gathering all the facts, check ing all the records available, as long as authentic records have' existed. If you asked them if it is true that there are especially bad storms at this time of year, they could answer (in carefully worded and virtually under standable sentences) “That is the bunk!” Baukhage At the equinox the sun is in the process of crossing the celestial equator. That is the circle parallel to our equator which if expanded would touch the s«m. The sun does this in the spring (vernal equinox) and in the fall (autumnal equinox). At this season, if you live in my neighborhood (or within several hundred miles thereof) you will heed this piece of advice in the Hagerstown (Md.) Almanack which says: The ravages of the tent cat erpillars go unnoticed by many persons until the leaves are eaten from a tree. Naturally it makes extra work for the tree to produce another set of new leaves, which weakens the tree, and after a few years of this extra work, the tree is In dan ger of dying. “The greatest natural enemy of the tent caterpillar is the common house wren. These are valuable birds to have in your gardens during the growing sea son.” And now after that piece of ad vice, which is hot seasonal for my friends “down under” where the autumnal equinox heralds the com ing of summer and not fall and win ter, let us return to our meteoro logical mutton. I will not become technical but I think it is just as well to get better acquainted with the phenpmena, natural or otherwise, which sur round us. There is no reason why, if one rises late in the night to let the cat in (or out) he need crack a shin on a chair, once he understands why and in what position his wife has moved it since he last noticed its location—and the stars are just celestial furniture. W h a t Is T h is T h in g 'R etro g ra d e M otion’? There is a certain “retrograde motion” from east to west of the equinoxial points, which I won’t go into in detail for several reasons, one being that I haven’t the slight est idea what the phrase means. Nevertheless, I will mention that retrograde motion was discovered by a gentleman by the name of Hipparchus in the year (about) 120 before Christ. Experts say this mo tion accounts for the changes in the position of the Pole star, the North Star as it is usually called. Some people think the Pole star doesn’t change. A number of im portant people since Hipparchus have thought so. Take one, William Shakespeare. Remember in Act III of Jidius Caeser when a petition for repeal of the disenfranchisement of Publius Cimber is presented? Cassius drops to his knees to beg for the repeal but Caesar says: ‘'I could be well moved, If I were as you; If I could pray to move, pray ers would move me: But I am constant as the north ern star, Of whose true-fix’d and resting quality There is no fellow in the firma ment, The skies are painted with un- number’d sparks, They are all fire and every one doth' shine, But there’s but one In all doth hold his place ...” Perhaps Shsiespeare had never read Hipparchus. (Some say he couldn’t read but if so, where did he get his plots?) Anyhow, Hippar chus said, (and nobody has dis proved his theory) that the position of the Pole star does change (from our viewpoint). One authority ex plains it this way: “The pole of the earth is swing ing slowly as if it were the axis of a top, or as if the earth, rotating, were a kind of gyroscope.” The study of what is called the “pre cession of the equinoxes” (their moving backward in relation to the constellations) is fascinating. But I have no intention of reading a lec ture on astronomy here—for sev eral reasons, including the one mentioned before. But I do want to mention some things which George Stimson (with whom I have just been talking) brought up. You rem em b er George? He comes from Anamosa, Iowa, where he has just been spend ing a wonderful vacation with his mother who, at 77, does her own cooking because she likes it bet ter (and, according to George, for good reasons) than anyone’s else. George, to whom most Wash ingtonians turn when they want the right answer, says that rec ords for a period of 50 years show that there were actually fewer storms during the period between September. 20 and 25 (which overlaps the equinox) than there were immediately preceding' September 25. The same, he says, is true of the vernal equinox. “The notion about equinoxial storms in one form or another,” says George, “dates back to at least 1748 and probably originated among seafaring people.” AU this information is in his “Book About a Thousand Things” and if I had thought to look it up first I wouldn’t have interrupted him in his work on his book about a thousand (or more) things regard ing American history which will be his next opus and which I’m willing to say in advance of publication is going to be good. So much for the equinoxes, with whom, since we meet them twice a year, we ought to get better ac quainted. B la c k ja c k P ersh in g ’s L ife a n d T im es Speaking of books, Col. Frederick Palm er sent me his latest book en titled “General John J. Pershing.” It was written some time ago, re cently brought up to date after Pal m er’s last interview with Pershing, but in accordance with the author’s stipulation, was not published until after Pershing’s death. “It was not to be submitted to him or to appear in the' light of an official biography 'or one authorized by his heirs.” This is stated in the foreword and Palm er elaborated on his attitude to me during a luncheon shortly before the book appeared. Colonel Palmer, is the elder statesman of the war correspond ents. But years are of small ac count to him. He is pert, active and his memory is phenomenal. I knew of him in connection with the Russo- Japanese war although at the time of that conflict my military experi ence was limited to playing with a painted fleet of warships. The warships were a Christ mas present received while I was still building with blocks and shooting Indians with bows made of umbrella ribs and drill ing in an infant cadet corps. Later I came to know a colleague of Palm er’s in that war which gave Japan the toe-hold in the Far East that made her the power she was in World War II. His colleague was Photographer Jimmy Hare, the dean of his clan for many decades. The Pershing book I have not read at this writing but as Sooni* as I do I’ll tell you about it.* • * Although the special session of congress was mad/ at the President for calling them back, they gave the reading of his proclamation assembling them a tribute rare in history. They stood up while it was read. They got up because they thought the invocation was about to be made and they didn’t like to sit down and reveal their error.• • » What a wonderful three - point landing, said the little kangaroo to its mother.» • * There may be a new King of Spain.

DdANSPlLLS New Unit Improves Ventilation of Bam D a iry m e n F in d D ev ice P a rtic u la rly E ffe c tiv e Many of a c-nv’s troubles can be traced to heat and humidity. A cow, unlike a human being, can perspire only through the mouth. So when the tem perature and hu midity inside a bam get high, the animal becomes uncomfortable and stubborn, particularly at milking time. According to the department of agriculture, an average cow gives off almost a pint of water every hour through breathing. In addi tion to the high humidity caused by this breathing, a cow has an extremely high body temperature. During the winter months, when the cows are in the barn most of the time, this combination results in generation of an enormous amount of water vapor and heat. When the warm, moisture-laden air comes in contact with the cold walls, condensation occurs and frost is formed. The net result to farm ers is rot ting beams, joist and siding; a loss of hay because of mold created by moisture and frost; milk contami nation, disease, particularly among the young stock and reduction of milk production because of discom fort to cows. A simple solution to all of these costly problems is an automatic cooling unit, which is proving pop ular with dairy farmers. These automatic ventilation units, easily installed, reduce condensa- Picture on Vernon Julius farm at Freeport, 111., shows installa tion of automatic cooling unit In dairy barn. tion to a negligible degree.—• less Qian 2 per cent. This action, in tuift, decreases barn deterioration, hay mold, milk contamination and disease. It also provides much more comfort for the cows and in creases milk production. In addi tion, working conditions for the operator are much more pleasant. The cooling units are equipped with an automatic “airswitch” thermostat. H ig h e r Y ie ld s O u tw e ig h C a ttle S p ra y in g C o sts An increase of $3.75 per head more than covers the cost of spraying beef cattle with DDT, it was re vealed in a test of the value of fly control conducted at the University of Illinois college of agriculture. Protected cattle gained about 15 pounds more per head during the pasture season than a group that had not been sprayed. At 25 cents a pound, an Increase of 15 pounds a head amounts to $3.75 a head, a return that far outweighs the cost of spraying. Beef cattle should be sprayed often enough to control flies, whether it requires two or three spraying* during the season or once a month. H e rd s a n d F lo c k s Use of 2, 4-D sprays for weed con trol in pastures is not dangerous to grazing animals. A home-mixed spray of crude benzene hexachloride powder and water is more likely- to taint eggs in poultry houses than a good com mercial roost paint containing the effective portion of the same chem ical. Poultry houses with light colored roofs are cooler in summer than those with roofs painted black. To get water to hogs in distant pasture where there is no water sup ply, pipes can be laid on top of the ground. To prevent freezing in winter, disconnect and drain the pipes. B e n z e n e H e x a c h lo rid e W ill C h eck H og M a n g e If hogs stand around and rub in stead of eating, they may have a touch of mange. Benzene hexa chloride has been found to be more effective than lime sulphur. Ben zene hexachloride should be applied when tem peratures are up around 75 degrees, using one pound of 50 per cent powder to four gallons ol water. It is important to see that the animal is completely covered, including the inside of the ears. /T tA N y o u LEAO Tf\ K J /AT A N E V E N ‘ OOT y o u P A S S A S ID A S S T A r1 7 A M E A N Y F R U IT S Tt B E G tN W tTH (StVE N LE TTE ) A W.

The Bible is not like a piece ol music played on one single instru ment, like a tune on a piccolo; it is more like an immense symphony —the more often we listen to it, the more we hear in it. * * • Many Times ■^ O ONE knows exactly how long M t took for the Bible to be writ ten. Let us suppose that the earliest parts came from the pen (oi stylus) of Moses, and the latest part from about 100 years aftei Christ (John and the Revelation). If Moses flourished around 120C B. C., that would mean that the Bible was completed 13 centuries after it was begun. In 13 centuries much can hap pen, and much did. There is hardly any circumstance or crisis, there is scarcely any time, however hum drum or thrilling, which does not have its match in the Bible. Its writers were inspired men; they knew God. But they also knew the times in which they lived, and thus can speak to ours.* 0 0 One Theme CvOR all the vast variety of the 1 Bible, there is in it a deep and lofty unity. It is bound together bj its mighty purpose, which throbbed in the heart’s blood of every man who wrote a line of it. That pur pose is to make God real to man. and to bring man to God. The writ ers of the Bible may have had theii lighter moments, but they did not write these pages then. They wrote under the irre sistible impulse, born of the Holy ‘Spirit, to make plain to other men what God had re vealed to them. So as you come to the Bible, re member its purpose is not to make you admire or revere it as a book, its great purpose is to be trans parent, a window through whicl you shall see God.

Walker Funeral Home AMBULANCE SERVICE DAY ORINIGHT Piione 48 Mocksvilie, N. C New York—Labor's share of Amer ica's national income, measured in dollars, has risen by leaps and bounds since 1929 while the investor’s share has dwindled to an alarming figure. Similarly, the “real” value—the purchasing power—of Labor’s share has increased far beyond the rise in the cost of- living, while the pur chasing power of the investor’s por tion has dropped sharply. That, in brief, summarizes the findings of a noted New York utility executive who has just completed an authenticated survey of the trend of the national income from 1929, peak of the so-called “prosperity period” and harbinger of the depres sion, up to an^l including 1947. The survey, phrased in simple lan guage and based on official govern ment statistics, has been compiled by Mr. John A. Ritchie, Chairman of the Board of thp Fifth Avenue Coach Ccmpsr.y. Alt':,- ugh carefully abstaining from interpretation of its factual content, the survey is by itself an answer to the claim of certain Labor leaders that corporate profits are far out distancing the gains of the American workingman. Thus, while corporate profits amounted to $17,400,000,000 last year, or 8.6 per cent of the national in come, Labor’s share in wages and salaries from private business to talled $105,200,000,000, which repre sented 52 per cent of the national income. Wages and salaries showed a dol lar gain of 132.71 per cent over 1929, while dividends increased by only 16.78 per cent. Only $6,800,000,000 was paid out to investors in divi dends. AU the remainder was re tained for capital expansion, im- — I 3 * FSfc ' '• Microwaves Demonstrate Nature of Light and Radio Microwaves, made famous by ra- [dar, provide the teacher with the simplest means of demonstrating Tie nature of light and radio waves, (.

In real value—purchasing power— Labor’s share in 1947 was 81 per cent greater than in 1929, while dividends paid investors last year were reduced in purchasing power by 9.18 per cent over the same period. The “real value” of the 1947 dol lar, based on prices prevailing in 1939 (when World War II broke out) was 63 cents. Thus, wages and sala ries last year increased, in real buy ing power, to $66,276,000,000 com pared with $36,617,000,000 in 1929, while the purchasing power of divi dends shrunk from $4,717,000,000 to $4,234,000,000 in the same period.

It has two hind legs, walks along the bottom of the ocean, and was netted during trawling operations in Shark bay. The fish is about five inches long It has two fins on either side of its body. The fins apparently are used to maintain balance while the fish ts out strolling. Members of the paity have described it as resem bling a miniature swordfish. Farm Wages Rising Farm labor wages showed an up ward- trend as 1947 ended, Iowa emergency farm labor summary fig ures indicate. Daily wages, without board, averaged $7 at the end of the year, a rise of $1 over October. Orders for dependable year-round i workers, either married or single, are getting harder to fill, despite the i better wages. Good paying city jobs j and the desire of young men to farm for themselves are blamed for the growing scarcity in farm labor. pr Science Io Tame Destructive Ice and Hail is a very good possibility Fstruetive hailstorms may be gted in the -future, and seri- storms may be "tam ed" in according to snow-and-rain- scientists, National Patent reports.

Sotfon Is Most Popular Of Mattress Materials Solid-filled mattresses derive their comfort from the natural resiliency of their filling materials. The great est percentage of these are filled with cotton. The best ones are filled with long-fibered cotton which lias been felled into layers. The cheaper ones—the ones into which short cot ton fibers are blown, or the plater mattress which has loose fibers in the center with a few felted cotton layers above and beneath tend In m at down, developing lumps and depressions. High quality curled hair makes a good m attress for anyone who pre fers a very firm sleep foundation. Horse tail and cattle tail hair are best, with horse mane second. Hog hair is rather stiff and less resilient. Kapok, which comes from the pod of a tropical tree, makes a s- ft. light, easy to handle mattress. How ever, kapok ,fiber is extremely per ishable and there is little demand for kapok mattresses today. Rubber mattresses are marie from the milk of rubber trees which has been whipped into a foam like substance. Most of them are only four inches thick and require a deeper than standard berisprmg. They are expensive and still too now for cumulative consumer reaction to be obtained.

Rich Gold and Ore Veins Discovered in Australia Two rich gold strikes and the dis covery of scheelite deposits are re ported from Perth, Western Aus tralia. Selected ore taken from a claim at Parker’s Range yielded 65 ounces 17 pennyworths of gold from three hundredweighths of stone. A total of 300 ounces has been taken from this reef. The second strike is reported in the Kalgoorlie district on property adjoining the new Kalgoorlie gold mines in which capital was over subscribed in a few minutes when made available for public subscrip tion, A large body of stone 38 feet wide which assayed over an ounce of gold to a ton at a depth of 54 feet was uncovered. At Kalgoorlie, hub of the Austral ian gold mining industry, a seam of scheelite has been found a mile and • a half away from the famous “Gold en Mile.” It is the first discovery of this mineral in that area. The scheelite was found in a deposit of quartz. Specimens from the seam, subjected to tests disclosed scheelite in fairly large quantities. N O T I C E ! REPUBLICAN SPEAKING Hon. John A.
