R4 Within the heart of a sinner, or a backslider, or a professor of re. ligion, there may be even that has never been taked out, or that has crept back in, which will manifest itself In speech conduct, and at­ titudes, deeds and manners. Per­ haps one of the w.orst spirits that may dwell within the bnman heart is that ot criticism- ugly, irritat- iug. aggrayatlng, unbecoming, un­ friendly criticitm. Many people posses a critical spirit. It seems that they look for something in the lives of their fel- lowmen, and even the best of peo. pie, to criticise them aboat. They overlook thair good traits and characteristics of life, hunting and seeking for faults, or imaginary faults, and in a critical spirst make mention os them, usually behind rhelr backs. People who are quite critical are never deeply spiritual. Some of them may profess to be Christians, and even claim ' high state of grace, but their attitude toward others, along with thclr criticisms, reveal to their sellowmen that thev leak the love and grace of God, the goodness and holiness of God We realize this is veiy hurtful. Critical people certainly don’t win their way iuto the hearts and lives cf others. They bar themselves out. They are shummed by those who would be their friands were if not for their critical spirit. We are conecious that people with a very critical spirit are never sweet in spirit. They are sour, merose and repulsive. They lack kindness, meekness and humility. To many people they may be quite repulsive. They drive from in. stead of attact to them those who might be ihelr warmest srlends. People who do lots of criticising do little praying. Perhaps many of them do not pray at all. A prayerful spirit keeps out a criti spirit. Honest praying and hard, barsh criticisms do not dwell to­ gether. Therefore it is much bet. ter to be prayerful than critical. Even if sometimes there are in. stances wherein a criticism is need, ed, such criticism should be done prayerfully, carefully, lovingly, and for one’s benefit. If you would keep sweet io your own heart, soul and spirit, and keep in fellowship with God’s people, and have blessed victory within and without, do verv. little criticising, but irnch praying and loving. Ar. en. Delaved Judgment He wasjnst out of law school and was seeking a suitable loca. tion to begfn practice. He de. oided to make a tour of all the siates’s county seats. Pausing at one courthouse that perched in the very center of a town, h e approached a while, bearded old codger who sat drow. Isly on the steps. Do you have a criminal lawyer here?" he asked. The old man squinted up at him. • We think so, young fellow,” was the brisk reply, "but we ain’t proved it on him ” "The mule," wrote a school* boy, “ is a hardier bird than the guse or turkey and diffrunt.

How to Win a Btt Reason to Be Nervous One day Judge Landis was trying a bankruptcy case, wherein the de­ fendant was charged with conceal­ing assets from his creditors. His Honor was amazed to hear the man openly admit or the witness stand that he had destroyed all the papers which might throw light upon the charge. “Why did you burn the papers?” the Judge demanded.“I was nervous,” the defendant replied. “Are you nervous now?” his honor wanted to know. “I don’t know,” the man replied.“Then I’ll find out,” said Landis. Suiting action to word. Judge Landis slowly descended from his bench, took out his watch, and timed the defendant’s pulse.“No,” his honor finally decided, “you don’t seem to be nervous—but you should be.” “Why?” the defendant inquired. “Because,” Judge Landis wryly rejoined, “in about 10 minutes I’m going to send you to jail.” Wasted EnergyTeacher: “Can you give the class an example of wasted effort?” Student: “Telling a hair-raising ■tory to a bald-headed man.” bat:g a in s e e k e r An old lady stepped up to the ticket window in a railway station and a.'ked. “How much is a ticket to Cleveland?” “That's two dollars and sixty-five fents.” replied the ticket seller.

And the three plants give off the same kind of poisonous oily substance wliich causes the rash when it penetrates the skin. Tlie plants are most dan­gerous in the siring and summer when their “juice’' is in abundance. One can pirk up the oil by touc''.ing the plant, by toi’"hing a ralre that has touched the plant (and the oil has been known to stick to garden tools as long as a year), by contact with the clothing or freshly anointed •kfa of anybody or anything—even the family dog—where It has touched tlie plant. 'TU bet you 10 dollars,” a man said to a boastful athlete, “that I can wheel something in a wheel­ barrow from one street lamp to the next and you aren’t able to wheel it back.” The local champ looked him over. He thought of bags of cement, bricks and old iron, and concluded that whatever the stranger could wheel, he could do better. “Bet taken,” he said. The stranger smiled and with a couple of witnesses they set out. A wheelbarrow was borrowed and taken to the nearest street lamp. “Get in, old man,” he said to the boasting champ. Heavy Scales A man who discovered the joys of fishing rather late In life becam.e even more insistent than ordinary anglers upon recoimting his tri­ umphs to skeptical acquaintances. Enraged by their thinly veiled hints that he was a liar, he bought a pair of scales, installed them in his li­brary, and mads his friends watch while he actually weighed the fish he had caught. One evening a neighbor burst in excitedly and sought permission to borrow the scales. He was back in 10 minutes, his face flushed with delight. “Congratulate me,” he. cried, “I am the father of a 24- pound baby boy.” Beautiful Sight ' A small boy was watching the glorious red glow in the sky over the nearby village with an express­ ion of delighted awe. “Ah, my boy,” said an old man, psi-Eing beside him, “I see that you come up here into the hills, as I do, to adnnire the beauties of nature. . . . A wo;iderful f.unset, isn’t it?” “That’s no suiv ot. sir,” said the boy. “It’s our school on fire.” READ THE OBITUARIES!Mother: “Why did Johiuiy get such a bad mark in history?” Teacher: “He didn't know when George Washington died.” Mother “How should he?

He came up with this: , “Ben Franklin was bom in Bos­ ton. He got on a boat and went to Philadelphia. He got off the boat and bought a loaf of bread and put it under his arm and walked up the street. A woman saw him and laughed at him. He married the woman and discovered electricity.” Confidence Unlimited “Do you give a guarantee with this hair restorer?” “We do better than that, sir. With every two bottles we include a gift comb-and-brush set.” Double Thanks Delighted by the gift she had re­ceived, the lady spoke warmly to the farm boy: ■‘At church tomorrow. I’ll thank your mother for this lovely pie.” “If you don’t mind, ma’am,” the boy suggested nervously, “would you thank her for two pies?’ POWERipijL BREW “Did you test this stuff, Joe?” “Yeah. I poured some in an ash tray.” “Did it turn green?”“I dunno. I can’t find the ash tray.” Never Strike A Newspaperman W e have been thinking over all of the ramifications involved in Senator Kenneth McKellar’s hit- ting and kicking newspapermen, and we have finally decided to come out against it-^unching or booting news men, that is. This includes editorial writers. Senator McKellar, 79 years old, hit Publisher Silliman Evans a blow in the face when Evans tried to shake the Senator’s hand. The The Senator also rained “powder puff” blows on a reporter for Drew Pearson kicked him on the leg when the reporter asked Me- Kellar’s age. It is not a question of getting hurt, since neither of the news­ papermen suffered cuts, abrasions or any ill effects whatever. It’s the principle of the thing. If a re­ porter or publisher or editor lets one man hit him he has to let he has to let everyone hit him. There’s no telling where it would all end. W e are therefore foursquare a gainst hitting, kicking, putiching, slapping, scratching, biting, buting, or otherwise striking members of the Fourth Estate by Senators, Members of the House of Repre­ sentatives or other constituted authority.—Twin-City Sentinel.

Our County And Social Security By Mrs. Ruth G.uffy, Manager, Each week we receive telephone ' calls and letters asking who may be entitled to benefits under the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance provisions of the Social Security Act. A letter which we recendy received reads: “My husband re­ tired from his regular job because he was 65, and since that time has been getting a small pension from his employer. W e are finding it hard to live on this pension and I wonder if we could draw his Social Security benefits now.” We answered that his pension would' have nothing to do with any ben­ efits payable under our program. I wish more women would follow this wife’s example and write our office when she and her husband are 65 years of age. In the case cited, the man and his wife lost monev because they delayed in notifying our office. The Social Security Act provides for only 3 months back payments from the month the claim is filed. As our letter was from a wife, let’s see what a wife must do to ger her benefits started. First, her husband must be at least 65 and receiving or entitled to receive benefits him self The wife must also be 65 and must file an appli­ cation for her benefits just as her husband. No one can do this for her and her payments cannot be­ gin until an application has been filed. She must furnish proof of her age but not necessarily a birth certificate. There are several types of acceotable proofs such as an old record in a family Bible, in­ surance policies and others. Many ‘ times persons have acceptable proof of age and do not know it. ^ We will assist one in getting ade- ; quate proof if necessary. A wife’s benefit is one-half the amount of her husband’s benefit. For example, if her husband is re­ ceiving $32 a month she will re­ ceive one-half that amount. $16. The two will receive a total of $48 eaeh month. The wife will continue to receive her check as long as her husband receives his. O ur office is located at 437 Nis- sen Building, Winston-Salem, and our telephone number is 7561. A representative of our office is in Mocksville on the 4th Wednesday of each month at the courthouse, second floor, at 12:30 noon, and in Cooleemee on the same date at the Erwin cotton mills office at 11 a. m. You are asked to meet our representative if you want infor­ mation about Social Security. THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE, N. C. The Gentle Extortionist By CHARLES STUART Things have a way of working out for the best and giving you renewed faith in people— people like Marty Stone, who fancied himself a pretty hard-headed business man, and Doc flowell, who found that Marty's heart was softer than his head, but who couldn't cure the lump in his own throot. C'ROM my small office I can see ^ anyone who passes through the Wide front doorway before he can see me. In that brief period I can size up a prospective customer, and that’s how it was with Fred Miller. He was small and frail-appearing. There was nothing spectacular about him except his tie, but it was an eye- catcher. Like a nervous monkciy, he batted his eyes rapidly to adjust them to the semi-gloom of the garage. I had time to catalog him as a cinch for a lot of extras.Seeing me in the office, he came over hesitating at the door until I said, “Come on in.” I stood to shake his thin hand.He had blue eyes that were deep- set in their orbits; they hung on mine like those of a dog that isn't sure of a kick or a caress. The flesh beneath them sagged into pouches, and his face v.-as deeply lined. He had the uinvholesome pallor of a man who spe.ids a great deal of time in-doors.“What can I do for you?” I asked. “Why," he said, “I want to buy a car.” “So do a thousand other people in this town,” I reminded hirfi. “I know. That’s wliy I’m here now. I want to get on your list for a future delivery.”Iven as I told him it would be at least tv»o years before he’d get his car, the wa^' thing v/ere moving, I was remembering things that I had heard about him—how his home had been broken, how his wife had taken their boy and gone out to the coast Mr. Stone, how much will the car cost?” “Hard to say, Fred, right now it sells for eighteen hundred. But you guess with me as to what it will cost two years from now.” I’m sure he only halt-heard me. He said, like he was almost talking to himself, “Eighteen hundred. About what I figured. I’U have it.” He wasn’t like most of my custom­ers; he didn’t keep harping on me for the new car. Until summer came, at any rate. Then one day he brought the boy in. He was lots taller than the old man, already, and devoted to him. From then on until the boy went back to the coast, they were in the garage at least once each day, poring over picture."! of the new auto, questioning my mechanics, and dis­ cussing it between themselves. Even after the boy had gone back to the coast, Fred would come in and pick up any new literature I might have on the car. I knew what he’d do with it, too; make notes in the margins, write letters about the auto, and send them all on to that boy.Time went along. The wife and my boys went off on a vacation. I never liked going home to an emp^ house, so I would put it off to the last minute, and hang around the club till bedtime. That’s how I found out that Fred liked the social life and late hours. I sort of figured that account­ ed for the bags xmder his eyes. But Doc Howell set me right. He and I got away for a few days hunt­ ing, and somehow on the way to the “Here’s something Fred wanted you to have,” I told him. His eyes were so full he could liardly find the door handle. It was said that Miller had agreed to some fantastic alimony if only she would let the boy come to him for at least a part of the year. He had some sort of minor post in one of the gov­ernment agencies in town; I knew it couldn’t pay very much. I didn’t see how he would be able to pay me the price of a new auto, but two years is a long time and mucli could happen in the interim. Anyway, I could al­ways sell a new car. So I felt around in my desk and finally came up with the list. “What kind do you want? Coupe? Sedan?” “A coupe, please.” “With or without wheels?” Fred smiled, tentatively. He wasn’t sure whether or not he was supposed to laugh. • “I’d like wheels, of course,” he an­ swered. “Want to put something down?” “Yes, I’d like to. How much do you require?”“Suit yourself. Even if you give me the full purchase price, it won’t bring your car any sooner.” He nodded. “Fair enough. Til leave you two hundred.” I took the bills and gave him a re­ceipt. Then I asked i£ he had a trade-in. He looked startled. “No, Mr. Stone, I haven’t. Is it necessary to have one?” . “Oh, no. Not absolutely neces­ sary,” A trade-in is still nice to have, though, for there is money in those used cars. “I don’t really have a car at all,” he e.xplained. “That’s why I want this one. My boy wiU be coming to visit me every summer and he’s get­ting pretty big nov/^.” His eyes lit up, talking about the kid. “In two years he’ll be eighteen and he’ll want a car. This is no town for a boy If he has to walk everywhere or depend on others for transportation. I plan to have a nice auto for him when he’s ready for it.” “Yeah, yeah. That’ll be fine.” There was something holding back in him when he talked about that kid, and it made me uncomfortable. As though he might talk about him the rest of the day if he had any encoiuragement But I wasn’t giving him any. “We’ll see what we can do,” I said, and stood up. He arose immediately. “You’re busy,” he was apologetic, “and I’ve taken so much of your time.” “Not at all,” I said, “come in and see me again.” “Oh, I will,” he answered, "you’ll get so tired of seeing me around you’ll want to throw me out By the way. mountains, Fred Miller crept into our conversation. Doc thought it a shame the way his wife treated him. “That woman milks him for every cent he can get. He owes everyone, including me.” I thought about all the times I had seen Fred down at the club. Now it costs money to belong, and if one gets into the games very often,- that’s ex­ pensive, too. Fred didn’t stack very high with me right then, because I couldn’t see how he could be broke and keep up the activities I had ob­served. I guess Doc read my thoughts. “Don’t be too hard on Fred, Marty,” he said. “You may not know it, but he isn’t down there at that club every night just for fun. He has a sort of job; assistant to the steward. I rather suspect he lives on what he makes there, and sends his regular salary check out to the wife, for that boy.” He watched the road for a few mo­ments before continuing. “Fred is not at all welL If he would take it easy, get a lot of rest and stop drink­ ing, he might last a long time, but—” his voice trailed off into silence. He rarely talked about his patients, I figured he thought he had said too much already. I forgot about Fred after that until one fine summer day I found that the next car on my list was for him. But I was dubious about the deal. After all, I was in business to make money; there were a lot of names after his that would be a great deal better business. It looked like Fred Miller was about to get the go-by, at least for a little while. Then that same day I twisted my knee and had to go to Doc’s ofiice to get it wrapped. Climbing the well- worn stairs, I met Fred coming down. He looked just about all in, and very sad. I thought to myself: “Oh well, what can I lose?” and told him about the car. His face broke into a million wrin­kles as he smiled. “That’s fine,” he said, “That’s good. The boy will like that.” He went on down the steps with a lot more life to his tread. I went on up to Doc’s. Just to make conversation, 1 asked him what was \raong with Fred. His answer was vague, as I might have known it would be. “Can’t understand the little feUow; he goes right on doing all the things I tell him are bad, yet he keeps com­ing in here to have me check him over. All I can do is shake my head, tell him to get more rest and stop burning the candle from both ends.” He adjusted a couple ol pads aroimd my leg, plugged some wires into a machine, and flicked a switch. “Doesn’t seem to worry him. Can you tell me why?” Neither of us knew then, but we got the answer later. When his car was being unloaded at the railway dock, I called him. Most of my customers like to be on hand to get a first glimpse of the car for which they have waited so long. After awhile, he showed up, and I was shocked at his appearance. He was walking slow and easy, like the old man he looked to be. His cheeta were hollow, his sunken eyes deeper than ever. The pouches .below them himg away down. But he was surely happy about the car. I told him it would take a couple of days to get it into shape for delivery. “Good enough,” he said, “I expect the boy over about then.” I never saw Fred again. Doc let me know. He called.me. “Come on over, wiU you, Marty?” I knew from his tone it was important, so I hung up and went right away. He was sitting in his private ofiice. When I came in, he pushed a bulky envelope across the desk to me. It was addressed to me in u i unfamiliar hand. Opening it, I found a two- thousand-dollar insurance policy with me as the beneficiary. The name of the policy holder? Fred A. Millerl I showed it to Doc. “Yeah,” he said, “Fred died last night. Natu­ral causes, yet he could have lived a lot longer. Only eventually he would become an invalid, and his son would want to take care of him. On the other hand, he could duck out now and leave the lad something, I guess he chose to have the boy remember him as something other than a sick old man.” I could see the picture. But you just don’t know what to say in such cases. So I guess I soimded a little irrelevant when I said, “Cars have gone up. Doc. This two thou­sand won’t cover it now.” Doc looked as though he were disappointed in me. He puUed out his check book and. picked up a pen. “Well, I want that boy to have that car, Martin. How much is the difference?” "Put that stuff back. Doc,” I said, “you don’t have a corner on soft hearts and softer heads.” He grinned then. “I want to share it, at least.” After old Fred had been decently tucked away—and it was amazing how many friends the old boy had— I called the kid over to the garage. Doc and I led him to the car. “Here’s something Fred wanted you to have,” I told him. His eyes were so full he could hardly find the door handle. “And here’s an­other thing he told us to give you.” He took the slip of paper I hwded him, and I was glad he couldn't read it right then. He only nodded; he couldn’t talk, although twice he tried. He put the car in gear and backed out Doc and I stood on the sidewalk to watch him drive down the street About a block away, he pulled over to the curb and stopped. My guess was that he couldn’t see through the tears that must have been tumbling down his cheeks. After aU, he was only a kid. I shoved my hands into my pockets and looked at my feet, not talking. For a minute. Doc didn’t say anything, either. Then: “What was that you gave him?” My tone was defensive. Hadn’t Doc treated Fred for nothing? “You really didn’t think I could keep that policy, did you?” Doc’s voice was sort of soft and strange when he finally answered. “Fred swe knew a soft-hearted sucker when he saw one, didn’t he?” He turned and started off. “Now I’m going down to the office and see if modern medicine provides any­ thing for a lump in the throat” iaS bv NANCY PEPPER CLASS CONSCIOUS We like to report your kindness to less forttmate teens in foreign countries—because it proves that you teens think with your hearts as well as your heads. Most of you have been mak­ ing collections for “Care” pack­ ages in your home rooms, but, as an extra ac­ tivity, foreign language classes in lots of high schools are send­ ing packages and letters to teens in the countries whose language they’re studying. Of course, you must write the let­ ters in the foreign language, which is good practice for you and good reading for the grateful teens who receive and answer them in their native tongues. It’s lucky for you that Latin is now a dead language, because after you’d written that “all Gaul was divided into three parts,” there would be nothing else to say.

Stroud: Am enclos­ ing a couple of bucks, which vou may credit on mv sub. to your little old Republican paper, and send me a Blum’s Almanac—you should give something tor the money. Hope that everything is good with you, and all the folks down there. Weather here has been extremely warm for time of year. To date we have not had a flake of snow, and very few days that were freezing, but plenty of rain* Bvsiness good here under the good old Democratic rule; but last few days price on tobacco has dropped considerable, and the far­ mers are goating about that. May­ be you did not know that this had become a big tobacco market, but it has. W hen I came here there was not a tobacco ware­ house, now I believe there are eight, and they are all rushed dur­ ing the season. Come up some time and get some fresh air. W ith best wishes, I am. Sincerely, R. S. MERONEY. Groundhog Wfeather Sleet, snow and rain begin fell­ ing in this section Sunday after­ noon about four o’clock and con­ tinued through the afternoon and night. Monday morning a mantle of white covered the ground to a depth of about 2 inches. A ll of Davie schools were suspended Monday due to icy highways. The sleet, rain and snow is sche­ duled to continue through W ed­ nesday. We will hope for the best but prepare for the worst. More Drunkenness In Charlotte W hile friends of the ABC stores set up in Charlotte sixteen months ago are pleased with some results of the new method of handling liquor, they certainly should be concerned about other results.They know that the legal sale of liquor has brought considerable revenue into the city treasury. The net profit of the Charlotte stores the first year was $1,527,000. In order to make this profit,, the Charlotte stores sold considerably over ten m illion dollars worth of liquor during the twelve month- period. They believe that the ABC stores have eliminated the big time boot leggers and are makins it increas ingly difficult for the little fellows to deal in illicit liquor. But of course nobody knows how much business is being done in Char lotte by the dealers who are evad iug payment of the present high tax on liquor. It is known that there has been a tremendous business in arrests for drunkenness in Charlotte since the ABC stores were opened for business. This is revealed in the police records. These show that in 1946, the year before the ABC stores were established, 6,754 per sons were arrested for drunken ness. During 19j8, the first full year in which ABC stores were operated, the number of arrests for drunkenness climbed to 8,461. Those who claim diat ABC stores will not increase the con­ sumption of liquor and drunken ness in the community will have to look elsewhere than Charlotte to find proof of their contention. An interesting observation in this connection is that figures ob­ tained from the records division of the Winston-Salem Police De­ partment reveals that there were 4.187 arrests for drunkenness in Winston-Salem in 1948. That is less than half the number arrested for drunkenness in Charlotte dur* ing the same year.—Wins'on-Sal* | em Journal. i Likes Flor da Our Schools Today And Tomorrow „ , , , W hat is the Legislative ProgramRecord.

I am snr j you will be interested in knowing more a> bout the purchase of school busef. W e discussed supervision and teachers salaries in an article la.t week. Under the present law if an ad­ ditional school bu^ is ni e led the county is responsible for making the purchase. After the bus is worn out it is replaced by the State at no additional cost to the county. Should the proposed legislation relating to purchase of school buses pass the State would pur­ chase both the original bus and the replacement bus. In addition the buses would berouted to with­ in i mile of children living on passable roads. Davie County would receive great benefits from this proposed legislation. The problems o f transporting rural children t o school would be lessened and better service given. The item of aid to counties in the construction and mainten­ ance of school buildings has been misinterpreted in many instances. Many people have been under the felse impression that the State maintains school buildings in the counties. No State funds are a- vailable, at present, for building classrooms n o r f o r repairing school buildings. The State pays for part of the coal, all the salary of the janitor, and part of the power and water bill. A ll other items of buildings and mainten­ ance comes from County funds. That is the reason for the bond issue last summer. Proposed legislation in 1949 is that the State appropriate $50,- 000,000.00 to assist counties in ’ constructing school buildings and in the maintenance of such school j buildings. This would be a de­ finite advantage to this County and to similar counties in the State.

C. -WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS- Record Budget Givea to Congress Acheson Confirmation Predicted; British Say Israel Menaces Peace (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are Western Newspaper 17nion*s news ant RECORD BUDGET:Aslced of Congress President Truman, presenting a proposal for the largest peacetime budget in U. S. history to the congress, was greeted with the ex­ pected reaction. Democrats ap­ plauded, Republicans instantly de­manded deep slashes in recommend­ed outlay. It became evident quickly that the fight on adoption of the budget would be carried out strictly along party lines. THE PRESIDENT declared it would take 41 billion, 858 million dollars to run the government right for the next year. And the punch line was that half of every Ameri­can tax dollar would be spent to hold back the Communist tide in the world.On a party line basis, approval of the budget was assured, assum­ ing, of course, that the Democrats hold fast. The President had a comfortable majority in both houses and there shoiUd be no difficulty in getting his proposal adopted.But the 41 billion-plus figure wasn’t all. Mr. Truman served notice he wiU ask more funds later to supply arms to non-Communist nations, a step which would push the budget even higher.THE ONLY possible bar to ap­ proval of the Truman budget was public reaction to the plan to finance with 50 cents of every American dollar anti-Red activities abroad. Would the people go along with American foreign policy and the theories of policy-makers that such a step was the only answer to Communist menace? Apparently the President is confident, because of his victory at the polls, that the people will support him in such a move and thus showed no hesitancy in his budget proposals nor in making his declaration that he plans to call upon the American people for even more money to stem the Communist tide.Already thoughts are turning to the 1950 congressional elections and congressmen whose senses were not completely lulled by the 1948 Democratic sweep, may want to sound out the public sentiment on the hugh expenditure program. If that is the case, public opinion may be the final factor in adoption of the budget. PALESTINE: Toil And TrouMe The British lion was roaring at a gnat. In a prepared statement, the English government declared that Palestine developments are “grave­ly threatening world peace.” Coupled with the dither was a report that Ernest Bevin, British foreign secretary, had offered to resign because of his Palestine policy and that Prime Minister Attlee had refused to accept the resignation. THIS WAS instantly and em­phatically denied. AU these developments came as Israel formally filed with the tJ. N. security council at Lake Success a complaint that the British were fomenting an “artificial crisis” over Palestine by troop movements and various actions just as negotiations were about to open with Egypt. The British foreign office state­ment warned that the seciu-ity coun­ cil has been “losing control over events” and said it had a reason to fear new Jewish violations of the cease-fire orders in the Holy Land area. Meanwhile, the critics of British policy in the Middle East prepared to demand that Secretary Bevin ex­plain how it happened that five RAF planes were shot down by the Israelis near the Palestine border. Britain’s air ministry asserted all five planes were shot down while flying over Egypt. IT COULD NOT be denied that the situation was difficult. Broken down to its basic essentials, it is a condition where one people must, or have been told they must, give way to the infiltration of another people—^the Jews moving into Pal­estine and the Holy Land area, the Arabs moving out. It has never been a secret that British sympath­ ies, for whatever reason, lie with the Arabs and John Bull looks with jaundiced eye on the partition action and the influx of. the Jews. But the United States and some other na­tions have sided with the movement to return the Jews to their home­ land, and thus the stalemate.It may yet require organization of and action by a United Nations police force to settle the affair. TRAILER DEMONSTRATION ___in these columns, they are those ofand not necessarily of this newspaper.! Truman's Flag Here is the silk flag wUch was presented to President Tmman at his inaugnration January 20. It is held by Lncy E. Notaro, civiliaii employe, and Brig, Gen. Hugh B. Hester, commander of the Philadelphia qnartermaster depot. The flag was made in the embroidery section of the depot, ACHESON: Should Make It General belief was that Dean Acheson would be confirmed by the senate as secretary of state. Named by President Truman to succeed George C. Marshall, Ach­ eson is certain to be taken over the hurdles in public hearings on his appointment. Protege of Justice Felix Frank­ furter and former intimate and employe of Franklin D. Roosevelt, intimate with and former employer of Alger Hiss and a law partner-of Donald Hiss, Acheson must inevi­tably be reminded of these facts by some of his interrogators. On the other hand, he can point to a long and distinguished record of public service in which his loyalties have never been question­ed. But in view of the current spy hunt in Washington and Ache- son’s connection with some of its principal figures, it would be little less than a miracle if his appoint­ ment were to be unquestioned.According to the record, Acheson began his state department career with an attitude sympathetic to Russia—that is, to the extent that he believed the United States should do everything possible to get along vrith the Russians. But, since Yalta and Potsdam, observers re­port that attitude has changed and he is now one of the most determin­ed anti-appeasers. The ghost of Franklin Roosevelt win walk and the echoes of the Yalta and Potsdam parleys will rustle as the Acheson hearings progress. But with Truman sup­ porters firmly in the saddles, there is little doubt of Acheson’s final confirmation. DESTRUCTION: Nothing to Chajice Destruction would be certain . . . there would be nothing left to chance if military scientists perfect their newest idea of a guided mis­ sile. This would be no “ordinary” guided missle. Instead, it would be one that would identify its target from a picture, then attack it. That’s no fantastic dream of the men who plan the weapons of war. A hint of its imminence was con­tained in a “glossary of guided missile terms” made public by the federal research and - devdopment board. The glossary’s reference to the subject was terse, saying merely this: “Guidance, homing, active—A system of homing guidance where­ in the source, for illuminating the target, and the receiver are carried within the missile.” Here was the general idea: A guided missile (it could be a rocket or merely a pilotless plane) fitted with a television set and a picture of the intended target— perhaps an aerial photograph of a city. The missile is launched in the general direction of the target. When it arrives at a point, when the pattern of the picture matches what its television “eye” sees, the mis­sile “homes in” on the target. That’s an over simplified descrip­ tion because thousands of complex electronic actuating computing de­ vices must make instantaneous and accurate reckonings; link the “eye” and the “brain” of the missile to its controls, and relay back to the base from which the missile . was launched information on where it is and what it "sees.” Man’s ingenuity in developing destructive devices apparently has not yet reached its zenith. Huge Exhibit Planned at Clilcago Siiow Desirability of life in a trailer •coach will be demonstrated to Americans when manufacturers from seven states and three coun­tries exhibit their models at the 1949 trailer manufacturers’ as­sociation show in Chicago starting February IS and continuing through February 27. The display will be housed in the International ampi- theatre. The trailer coach show is to be held in conjunction with the annual intemlitional Chicago sports and outdoor exposition, which is always one of the country’s biggest shows. Manufacturers from Illinois, In­diana, I^chigan, Ohio, California, Oklahoma, Texas, Canada and England will exhibit more than 150 models ranging in price from $2,000 to $40,009. Truman Answers Taft W H E N members of the National ™ labor relations board dropped in to see President Truman the other day, they found him seated at his desk writing a letter in long- hand. Looking up, he said:“I’ll bet you don’t know whom I’m writing to.” Then, without waiting for an answer, he added; “Senator Taft.” Continuing, Truman read Taft’s letter, which went somewhat as fol­ lows:“As I leave for Europe I want to send you my best wishes for your new administration.“You and I have differed on some things in the past, and no doubt will differ again in the future. But I want you to know that in such cases where we agree, I hope you will call on me for whatever help I can give you in the senate of the United States.”Looking up from the letter, Tru­ man winked at the labor board members and said: “You know I don’t think that fel­low wanted Dewey to'win, after all.” • * • . One-Man Lobby Congressman George Bender of Ohio, Republican, is the man who gave his friends Christmas presents of new brooms when the 80th con­ gress came into power exactly two years ago. Today Congressman Bender finds hlmseU swept out of office by popnIaV reaction to the Re­publican broom; so this Christ­ mas, Bender who has a real sense of humor, has been send­ing his friends a different kind of Christmas present. It con­ sists of Dewey campaign neck­ ties, and sweatshirts featuring a picture of the G. O. P. presi­ dential candidate, with the ad­monition “do it with Dewey.” Furthermore, th e resourceful Bender has already found a job. He has appointed himself a one-man lobby for the American people, and plans to appear at all congressional lommittee meetings to read some interesting literature to the Demo­crats. The literature he intends to read win be: the Democratic platform.* • « Mushrooming Wiarvland During the last year of the Civil War, Gen. Jubal Early came within a few hours of capturing the capital of the United States. His troops arrived at a point on Wisconsin Avenue where now stands the Sears Roebuck store, and if Jubal hadn’t stopped for a round of mint jiUeps at the farm now occupied by Eu­gene Casey of Gaithersbturg, Md., the capital would have faUen to the Confederacy. Immediately afterward the Mary­ land area which his troops occupied just outside the city was captured through peaceful politics by the Democratic party, and has re­mained Democratic ever since. In the succeeding years, it also has become the second largest city of Maryland. Actually a suburb of Washington, D. C., the mushroom city of Silver Spring ranks second only to Baltimore in the size of Maryland cities. Silver Spring a n d sprawling, densely populated Montgomery county around it for a long time were governed—and rather weU— by a Democratic boss, E. Brook Lee. Then the RepubUcans, hiuigry tor power, two years ago persuaded local Maryland voters to instaU a I system of nonpolitical government ' by council and coimty manager. This has proved an important experiment. One aspect also has proved amusing. For, although the county supervisor has given the area the best, cheapest and most efficient government in •years,- the Republican commis­sioners now want to get rid of the whole system. Reason: Their brief taste of run­ ning the second largest city in Maryland and its surrounding area has whetted their appetite for more.• * • Successful Experiment Tills amusing aspect, however, only helps to emphasize' the effi­ ciency of the experiment taking place under the nose of the city which governs the rest of the United States. It is an experiment which already has grown to 812 other cities of the U. S. A. and to 15 coun­ ties. What’s happened in Maryland’s Montgomery county is that school teachers, once woefuUy underpaid, now are better paid in some cases than those in the District of Colum­ bia. The measly sum of $12,500 once spent annually for school mainten­ance has been increased to $128,000. The amount of new roads built every year has been tripled. The police system has been revamped and modernized. Nurses’ salaries have been raised. And the mushroom area which thrives on the edge of the capital has become one of the most progressively governed in the East. Whshington D i9 CSt; Is U.S. Going Socialist? I^s World-Wide Argument By BAUKHAGE Neu>s Analyst and Commentator,WASHINGTON.—As congress sharpens its teeth for the “True- Deal” program (The “true being for Truman), some of the gentlemen who have watched things going on behind the scenes in Washington foi a long time (maybe too long) have a habit of blinking and saying in hushed voice:—“Say, is America going sociaUst without knov/ing it?” Long before the November election a number of European States­ men, editors, professional politicians and others who are backing the various socialist and socianstic-inclined governments, including Britain’s, were getting really worried lest a probable RepubUcan victory should make an emphaticaUy capitalistic America less sympathetic toward left* of-center regimes. BAVKH A G E The Truman upset caused them ; to whoop with joy. After they read the President’s state of the union mes­ sage on January 5, and after his ap­pointment of Dean Acheson as secre­ tary of state, they piiUed out a chair on the left side of the international table, expecting him to sit right down and join them.What was prob­ ably as much wish­ful tliinking as any­ thing else caused the official SociaUst par­ ty organ of France to liail the administration program as defi­ nitely socialistic. Most of the rest of the French press took about the same view, even to the somewhat lonely, pro-capitalistic Figaro which said the message was “close” to socialism.The same view was taken by the left-wing press in other European countries—(I’m not counting the Communists who merely rang the old propaganda changes). How­ ever, the independent Manchester Guardian, long known as the rock of liberalism and likewise as an outstanding voice in British journal­ ism, took a different tone. The Guardian always has been exceed­ ingly weU informed concerning the United States and probably under­stands America as «reU as any foreign newspaper. It said: “Mr. Truman’s program Is an Indication that socialism is not the only path for the left. Us goal might be called the in­surance state. Its method the deliberate shortening of the odds against the weak. But without abandoning the basically indi­ vidualist way of life which is accepted as characteristically American.” Comment from the extreme right in this country, in congress and out, chose to see Skipper Truman charting a course for the Sliip of State which veered far to the left of center, in fact headed straight for the rocks on which free enter­prise, individual initiative, in fact aU phases of capitalism, would be sunk without a trace. That, however, was not the opinion of the majority of the Re­publican party, and, already signs are showing that it isn’t the in­ tention of the majority of the Democrats to let such a catastrophe overtake us, even if they think the Skipper would be willing to risk it, which they don’t beUeve he is.The alarmists point to the rather startling suggestion on the part of the President that the government study production with a view to offering loans to the steel and other industries for expansion of plants and increased production. If the companies refuse to co­operate, It was suggested the government-owned steel plants would be erected. That does sound like a long step toward nationalization of Industry. But other observers, both those who consider the Idea fatal to free enterprise and those who be-' lleve In such government-run ventures as the Tennessee Val­ ley Authority, consider It more of a threat tlian a promise. In that connection the recent con­ troversy behind the iron curtain which had finaUy leaked out in specific and detailed form is inter­ esting. One docmnent consists of reports of a tliree-day conference of Soviet economists held last May, the other is a study of Russian economy during World War II, by a • member of the aU-powerfiil poUtburo. Both dociunents attack the theories of Eugene Varga, in- ternationaUy known Russian econ­ omist and former director of the World Institute of Economics in Moscow. Those ‘Anxious’ Russian Leaders This controversy, according to Walter Lippman, may be the real basis of President Truman’s Kansas City statement that there were “certain leaders” in Russia who were “exceedingly anxious” to reach an understanding with the United States.

Uth SL, Miami, Florida. ____________________ mysterious remarks, it might in­dicate that there is or was an ele­ ment in the Soviet leadership which felt it was better to try to get along with us. The explanation of the contro- versey among Russian economists is this: Soviet foreign policy, spectticaUy maintenance of the cold war, is supposed to be based on a belief that the United States is headed directly toward another de­ pression. This “bust” wfll so sap our strength that aU the Soviets will have to do is take us over with little or no real military struggle. (The revolt of the proletariat). We’U be too down and out to help anti-communist Europe. The anti- Commimist countries will faU easi­ ly into Commimist control. Then we can be beaten largely by infil­tration, fifth column “action com­ mittees” and other methods be­ cause there will be ■ general un­employment, discontent and general chaos. This belief Is based on the teachings of Marx and Lenin that capitalism is botmd to de­ stroy Itself because it produces “boom and bust” cycles which grow increasingly worse, and therefore, it is impossible for a capitalistic country to try to do anything permanent for the masses to increase their stand­ard of living. Now, however, along comes Var­ ga, introducing a new argument. He argues that by adopting mea­sures which he describes as “state socialism” any major depression in the United States can be pre­ vented or at least postponed for 10 or 20 years. If this thesis were accepted by the Soviets it would be wiser to cooperate with the United States and other non-Communist countries, rather than to take for granted that our economic system as wen as theirs is going to con­ tinue for some time. (Dn that theory it would be to the Soviet’s interests, for the present at least, for the Kremlin and the White House to play baU. What are the measures of “state sociaUsm” Varga is talking about?The various social and welfare proposals like expanded social security, national health insurance, federal aid to education, under­ takings like the Tennessee Vaney Authority and the many other re­forms which started under the New Deal, and which President Truman now urges should be carried for­ ward or expanded.In the early part of the Presi­ dent’s state of the union message he announced in popular language the underlying theory of his admin­ istration. He said: “We have rejected the dis­credited theory that the for­ tunes of the Nation should -be in the hands of the privllged few. We have abandoned the ‘trlclde-down’ concept of nation­al prosperity. Instead, we be- live tiiat our economic system should rest on a democratic foundation and that wealth should be created for the benefit of aU.” Whether or not the majority of the people have rejected that theory remains to be seen. There are still many people, who beUeve that no coimtry can be prosperous unless it is strong at the top and that it cannot be strong at the top, that business and industry cannot pros­ per, tmless free enterprise have the widest liberty possible. That capita^ should be encouraged by the in­ centive of profit to take risks and chaUenge competition. That gov­ ernment interference destroys the initiative which has made the coun­try great. That once business is unshackled by federal bureaucracy, the benefits flow (not trickle) down and spread out to benefit the whole people. The National Association of State Chambers of Commerce, one of a hundred business organizations testifying against a biU which would permit the TVA to build a new steam plant at JohnsonviUe, said: “. . . this government cannot continue much longer to aid in th growth of tax-exempt or gov­ernment-owned enterprises, this narrowing the nation’s tax base, ivithout throwing greater bur­ dens upon the remainder of the taxpayers and without grad­ ually strangling free enterprise to death.” CLOTHING AND JEWELBT STORE FOB 8A1.E.

C. i ‘Soil Surgeon' Declared Seedbed-Making Boon Performs Multiple Work, Cuts Needed Time in A new, efficient device for pro­ducing finer, smootlier seedbeds is the “Soil Surgeon” now on the mar­ ket. Designed for use in a plowed field only, the device does the com­ bined work of a double-disc, spiked tootlied harrow and a float—and manufacturers declare it gives the farmer a finer, smoother seedbed in half the ordinary time. The exclusive use of the soil sur­geon after plowing does not turn up dormant weed seeds or plowed- under vegetation, thus giving a cleaner growing crop and richer soil. It levels the ground, fills all air pockets, and seals the moisture This “soil surgeoa” Is designed for use in a plowed field only. K does the work of a double-disc, a spike-toothed harrow and a float —and is said to give yon a finer, smoother seedbed in half the time. in the soil, thereby making for quicker germination and a higher yield. Sturdy and simple, the soil sur­geon consists of two heavy steel pans with raised sides, to permit loading with dirt for added weight. These may be used singly or bolted together, depending on the desired width to be covered. To the bottom of each pan are bolted 20 double-edged cultivator Imives, each provided with a bear­ing to permit it to follow easi^ and automatically the tractor’s line of travel. These heavy-duty knives slice the four and one-half inches of soil into one-inch strips, while the action of the pan pulverizes, .smooths and levels the sliced soil in a way not approached by any other instrument currently in use on the farm. The field should first be worked in the direction of plowing, using £s many sections side by side as the tractor can pull with weight adjusted. The final finish is ob­tained by pulling the soil surgeon across the Une of furrows. The soil surgeon should also be used as a crust breaker for all oncoming crops to mulch and kiU small weeds.

Most North American Protestants do, because Jesus did. The word may not be found in the New Testament, but the thing is there. If Jesus did not be-|® lieve that religion * could be taught, then he w a s guilty o f wasting much of his time, for he worked at teaching in season and out of season. He was a product of the dj.. Foreman Sunday school, in a sense. During his childhood he would go to the synagogue school week days and especially on Sab­ baths; we know that by the time he was grown it was his “custom” to attend synagogue services. And in every Jewish com­munity the synagogue was the place where for two hundred years and more, children and youth and older people had been taught the Word of God. If Christians today are faithful to Christ’s example, we also will keep at the job of teaching our reli­ gion to every child within our reach, * * * Body and Soul R e a d e rs of the gospels wiU note that when Jesus went home from the synagogue on the Sabbath, his day’s work was not done. He would spend hours, sometimes till far into the night, healing people brought to him for cure. Jesus min­istered to mind and soul. Jesus was interested in personalities, whole people, not half-people. Our minds have to be fed, but we live in bodies, and bodies have no little to do with personalities. Jesus was not content with teaching sick people; he made sick people well. So the church to day, if it is faithful to Christ’s prin­ciples, will consider people as com. plete personalities.« • * The Common People W E FIND that Jesus did not insist on imiversity audiences. In­ deed, he never spoke to a univtrsity audience. There were great univer­sities in those days, but it was not necessary for any one to be a grad­ uate of one of them in order to enter Jesus’ school, or to understand what he taught. He taught the plain people plainly. Again the chiu^ch of today takes a leaf out of Jesus' book. Most of our Sunday schools, for instance, have graded lessons; the little tots do not study from the same quarterlies the grown people use. In all our teachings we try to use the pupil’s language and to put onr Christian ideas in the thoughts that the pupils can understand. At the best seminaries, young ministers-to-be are carefully taught how to put the great Christian doc­ trines in ways that the simplest over people’s heads is not teaching. * « • God and Education J ESUS did not try to teach people carpentry, or arithmetic, or geo­graphy. No doubt he could have done so. But he had something more important on his mind, something which he alone could teach. He taught religion, or in other words he taught the truth about God, and about man, and about right rela­tions between God and man. So the teaching church, whether in the Sunday school or in the books writ­ ten by its scholars or in its schools and colleges, when it follows Christ’s example, is always teach­ ing religion first and foremost. We do not believe that religion is a sec­ondary issue, something you can “take or leave.”♦ » Religion On Two Feet r SUS did more than talk. He lived. His whole life and char­ acter were saying more loudly and plainly what his vrords said. . So the Cbristian church today, when it is faithful to Christ, most translate into actual living the faith she teaches in Sunday school lessons, in catechisms and books and sermons. What we do, as Christians, speaks louder than what we say. Every Sunday school teacher needs to re­member that what is said on Sun­ day is important, but what the teacher does on Monday is more impressive.by far. The reason why Jesus was more effective than John the Baptist was that John, after all, was a Voice, while Jesus was a Friend. ,,(Copyright by the International Coun.

Arkansas Chemistry May Add Variety To Diet of Heart Patients Money for Adventure We Americans are accustomed to frowih and change. We have seen •ur nation go forward. We moved ahead not because we conquered ether lands or won territory. That kind of progress has not interested us. Our fathers did find a new and raw continent here. But even while it was being explored and peopled,I the inventive minds and venture­ some spirits of Americans were lay­ing the foundations for living stand­ards and for peaceful industry that never before existed.Our progress may be measured in greater standards of living and in greater production for the peo­ ple. Hard work has produced growth. Now, there is no earthly reason why we cannot continue to grow and grow — except one. We cannot have progress if we are will­ ing to quit growing. Like so many great civilizations of the past, it is possible for us to hit the skids. We can do just that if we become un­concerned and stop wanting to grow. Savings That WorkCertain seeds of decay are now planted in our economy. You see, industrial growth does not come by itself. Expansion of our great in­ dustries has depended upon venture capital:" Yet, venture money is scarce today. But what is venture capital? Venture capital is the money that has built these great factories. It is the savings that are risked to help people like Hen­ ry Ford and Alexawder Graham Bell get started—and keep on go­ ing.It goes into brick and mortar. It is turned into locomotive and drag lines. It pays for the research that discovers new drugs and new plas­tics. It strings power lines to homes and factories. It buys lathes and dump trucks. It is back of pay checks that men must have, even before sales bring in the expected income. You see. if we want an adventurous industry, we must have venture capital, to do all these things and more.Business Is Thirsty Now, the big trouble is this. We have throttled down our supply of venture money. There are some who maintain that this source for new industrial activity has dried up. At least this is true: both young enterprises and established firms are thirsting for the capital which even today’s normal growth re­quires of them. They are also hungry for the go-ahead signal, to build new plants and to improve old ones. This requires much ven­ture capital. Consider the oil industry. Tradi­tionally, the oil and gas business has been financed by private risk money. Yet, men in the industry say that 12 to 15 billion dollars more will be needed in the next ten years. Dollars for plant equipment and labor go less than half as far as they did 20 years ago, while risk capital has shrunk 75 per cent in that period. This industry is typical of many others that are hungry for capital!Shortage Hits UsShortage of this venture money hits us hard at every point! Without it new products that might go far in enriching mankind are side­tracked in favor of the sure money­ makers. New businesses, that must live almost entirely on risk capital, are handicapped. Without sufficient capital, production everywhere is curtailed, and this affects our jobs and our national well-being. No ven­ture means a weak industrial ma­ chine that openly invites foreign aggression. Naturally, if no venture money is found for expansion, gov­ ernment always wants to step in and do it for us. We mu.st remem­ ber that money for venture will be scarce and tearful until we cut down government expense.s and re­vise taxes downward. It is your re­sponsibility and mine tn help keep our industry strong, adventurous •nd free. Uncle Sam Says j A Fresh Start for Labor Our unions have been accused of "Communism” many times in re­ cent years. Sometimes the charge has not stood np under close exam­ination. At other times, labor or­ ganizations have faced the music and set about the job of cleaning out dangerous, im-American ele­ments. A recent decision of the CIO rank and file to clean house is j SQ example of the latter. Philip Murray and others helping in this unsavory task surely merit our full support.Clever but RiskyMost of us little know what mas­ ters the Communists are at clever organization. They do make good union workers. If they can find a union whose leadership is un­ trained, or members uninterested, they know how to take over. The Communists want to use labor unions as outlets for their propa­ ganda. They want new recruits. Naturally, they v.-.int to have access to union funds. Fi-om union treas­uries can come paychecks for faith­ ful, advance-agents of Commun­ ism!Moreover, a union base for oper­ ations is just what the agents of Commimism want most. This gives them a chance to see what they can do to insure failure for the enter­ prise system. With the reins of union leadership in their hands, it is no trouble at all to make exces­sive demands upon employers, to stir up unjustified strikes and slow­downs. Industrial espionage for Russia is easy then, and in case of war, sabotage can be undertaken. Subversive Boast These are some of the reasons why we must get behind Phil Mur- I ray and the CIO in their effort to ! oust fifth columnists from their ' unions. More than that, we must become acquainted with the ways of the Communist. You know, American Communists have boast­ ed that a dozen non-Communists stand ready to do the work and the bidding of each party member. This • means that well-intentioned persons may find themselves doing things just the way the Communists want them done.I We must be alert for the Com­ munist attitude, as well as for the ■ Communist himself. In every com­ munity, good citizens, we must watch for the fellows liiat want to sow discord and plant the seeds of strife. If there’s honest disagree­ ment, or differences of opinion, we are free to discuss these over the conference table. When we’re un­ willing to do that, vve may be boost­ing the stock of the Commtmists in our own America.Which Team? Here’s what I mean by the Com­munist attitude. A certain Califor­ nia union organizer said he operat­ed in this manner: No negotiations during a dispute until the manage-' ment is made to look bad to the public, in every way. This labor' official frankly stated he would not begin negotiations imtil the point is reached where management ap­peared in the eyes of the public to be selfish, greedy, crooked.Then, said the organizer, when labor was shown to be helpless and in need of protection, he was ready for conferences. Like this labor man, there are those who some­ times fail to see which team they’re on. The pity is that so many lend themselves to the purpose of those who would destroy America and all that labor stands for.

One ot the main purposes of war among the Sioux was the opportunity afforded of horse-stealing from the enemy. ITiey sent out scouts to find where the enemy kept his horses. After the scouts returned and had made their report the entire tribe went out on the warpath. The Sioux had several military societies, each with its own songs. Prominent among these were the "white horse riders” and the “strong heart societies.” The Sioux also had societies composed of men who had seen the same animals in their dreams, or visions. Such were the elk, horse and buffalo societies. First U. S. Air Rfail Service The years fly by quickly and before you know it the liltle “toddler” is ready for the big decision.

Treiuiirt/ Otpnlmtiit After viewing the potentialities of the airplane during World V/ar I, congress appropriated $100,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1918. to establish an experimental air mail route. With army pilots doing the fly-' ing, the first scheduled trip was launched May 15, 1918, between New York and Washington via Philadel­phia. Service over this 218-mile route consisted of one round trip daily, ex­cept Sunday. Three months later the post office took over the entire op­ eration. Out of this humble bsghi- ning developed coast-to-coast air mail service. On May 15, 1919, mail took to the air between Chicajro and Cleve­land; on July l, 1919, between Cleve­land and New York; on May 15, 1920, between Chicago and Omaha. Then on September 8,1920, the Omaha-San Francisco leg was added. An airway now linked the Pacific and Atlantic coasts for the first time—the U. S. air mail Route No. 1. Chemical treatment that made salt water drinkable and saved the lives of cotmtless wartime flyers downed at sea may free many heart disease patients from tasteless diets. The so-called ion exchange tech­ nique, employing a chemically active plastic as a desalting agent, has been used. in developing a new material which removes salt from the intestin­al tract, making normal diets possi­ ble for victims of certain types of heart ailment, the American Chemi­ cal society was told at its 113th an­ nual meeting. The new substance, according to its developers, is a synthetic resin ground into tasteless powder grains coated with fatty chemicals or shel­ lac. An oin-exchange desalting kit for making sea water potable was de­ veloped during the war, and was placed in the emergency kits of planes and ship’s lifeboats. While on Pacific duty. Dr. E. J. Greenblatt of Brooklyn, N. Y., hit upon the idea that the same principle could be ap­plied to the removal of salt from the diet of heart disease patients. On his release from the service, Dr. Greenblatt and M. B. Gilwood, of New York, began working on the problem, and several foods were treated with specially prepared synthetic resins with promising results. Milk, eggs and ground bsef were thus restored, in part, to diets. Atom-Splitting Betatron Sst Up in Underground Lab Five brilliant young scientists—a Canadian, an Australian and three Bnglislmien—are preparing the way for new discoveries in the field of atomic research. Working as a team !n an under­ ground laboratory at the imiversity center of Oxford, England, they are operating a nev/ type of atom-split­ ting betatron. The machine is the first such instrument to be set up In a British imiversity laboratoryjS Oxford scientists were developing a similar atom-splitting machine as early as 1938. But their quest had to be abandoned with the outbreak of the war. The world’s first betatron was perfected in the United States. British engineers and scientists have achieved a new success, howev­er. They have reduced the size of the instrument without dfaninlshing ita power. The Oxford betatron will put at the disposal of scientists electrons of higher energy than any hitherto produced artificially In any unlver^ sity laboratory in Britain. Around its "orbit tube” which has a crosa-sectlon of about one square inch, electrons hurtle at a speed nearly 99.95 of the speed of light. When these electrons hit a solid they produce x-rays capable of splitting the nuclei of atoms which are Im­mune to gentler methods of attack. Dnieper Dam Restoration In 1947 the third 102,000 horse­power tturbine was installed in Eur­ ope’s greatest electric power station on the Dnieper which was blown up by the Russians to prevent its use by the German invaders in 1941. Al­though another six turbines are to be installed before the rehabilitation job is complete, the most difficult stage has been passed. The gigantic dam, the huge power house, the river port, the shipping locks and other techni­ cal installations have been rebuilt and as a whole the station has as­ sumed its familiar pre-war contours. It is definitely more modem than the giant plant the Nazis destroyed, for all the technical progress during tlie 15 years since the Dnieper sta­tion was first built has been incor­ porated In it in the course of reha­bilitation. The cornerstone of con­ struction was laid in 192V. The power development was completed in less than five years. It was in operation for a total of nine years before its destruction incident to the German invaders. Our First E:n?inrer The beaver is not only one of the most resourceful of small animals but also one of the most industrious, and in many respects most useful. The beaver is the world’s first engi­ neer, and as such, its industrial traits are valuable to man and beast. For their value as engineers, beavers often are carried to locali­ ties where their kind once lived but disappeared. They are captured in lArge basket-like traps and trans­ported to depleted lands where beaver dams are neededr No sooner than given a new job—and they like a new undertaking — these sharp toothed workers start gnawing down trees for dam building material. When spring rains swell the streams their dams prevent the washing away of valuable topsoil, preserve timber supply and aid in beauti^ing the. landscape N'Tth Carolina Davin Onunfv 111 The Superior Cnurt NOTICE OF SALH Under and by virtue of the power of sale contained in a cer­ tain deed of trust executed by Sam Etcbison and wife Hester Van Eaton Etcbison, dated the 4th day of February, 1948 and re­corded in Book 35, page 259 in the office of the Register of Deeds of Davie County, North Carolina, default having been made in the payrnent of t h e indebtedness thereby secured and said deed of trust being by the terms thereof subject to foreclosure, the under­ signed trustee will offer for sale at public auction to the highest bid­der for cash at the court house door in Mocksville, N.

The} headline, the news account account and the picture do not tell the story It is impossible for newsprint to convey to any mind a realization of the tragedy because the mind simply refuses to grasp it. We are talking about the murdet of little ten.year-old Roberta Rine- arson, hut the kind of thing which happened to Roberto is happening almost daily to luanv other little girls—many more than a few yeers ago. So/far as the Engllsn language will convey the story, ht wever, here it is (with the omissions which mnst be made): The child has been brutally mis treated and strangled. A girment torn from her bndv, was .stuffed in> Into her mouth; there was a deep cut behind her lett car, and hei^lips wero crusbed. Finger marks or her throat indicated the ruthless brutality with which her life was taken.

Shoes should be warmed by rubbing with the palm of the hand before wearing. This is especially Important when shoes are new. Before wearing shoes the first time, ruh the leather until well warmed, then put shoes on and bend the feet to limber the shoes while the surface still is warm. The common practice of rubbing grease into patent leather to prevent cracks is a mistake. Grease is likely to soft­ en the patent finish and cause it to break. To clean patent leather, wipe with a cloth moistened In vinegar.

He rounded a corner and almost collided with a Prus­ sian officer—one of those who, with the arrogance typical of iiis class, expected civilians and women to get out of his way.

A feller came in an’ gave me $100. Another came by with $200.” “An’ sir, by that time my confi­dence had reached such a p’int that I put in $50 of my own money.” Records of Wind Velocity During the 1928 hurricane in Puer­ to Rico, a wind velocity machtee, geared to 160 miles an hour, broke at 160 before the storm had reached Its height. Gusts of more than 200 miles per hour have been recorded, while there Is a record of sustained velocity of over 180 miles per hour. Tornadoes are said to have a revolving velocity of over 300 miles per hour, but no one has ever registered them. Record for wind velocity, officially calculat­ ed, on top of M t Whitney, N.

Here’s one big, safe resolution for 1949: “Resolved, I will lake advantage of the opportunity praented by my government to buy U. S. Savings Bonds regularly; the finest, safest and most convenient investment in the world.” It you stop to think of it liiere’s no better time titan riglit now to start building a comfortable ciisliion for later years. Upon maturity, U. S. Savings Bonds will return to you four dollars for every three dollars you put into them. Tiiey can be bought regularly under two con­venient purchasing plans, the Payroll Savings Plan where you are employed or the Bond-a-Month Plan at your bank. CT.S. Treasury Department Wrong Customer An old waiter at the ciub was giv­ing the new hand a few hints. “See that fellow who’s just come in?” he whispered. “He’s got a twin brother and they’re as alike as two peas, only this one’s hard of hear* mg. Watch the fun!” Going to the member’s side, he smiled politely and said^ in an ordi- nary voice: “Well, pieface, and what do you want in the nose-bag today?” “I’ll have a chop,” was' the reply. "And, by the way, it’s my brdtlier who doesn't hear so well.” Amphibians of today—the well known fro^, toads and salamanders, and the unfamiliar caecilians—con- 1 vey almost no idea of what tiiis ani­ mal group was like in its hey-day, some 230 million years ago, notes Bryan Patterson, curator of fossil mammals at Chicago natural history museum. Fossil specimens, one of them 6U- feet long, of some of the early rela­ tives of today's lilUe amphibians and a number of skeletons of some of the earliest reptiles, have just been ad­ ded to the paleontological exhibits at the museum. About 16 specimens are included, some of them the giants of their times. From the later Devonian period (320 million years ago) to well into the Pennsylvanian period (240 million years ago) the amphibians were do­minant, and for most of that time, the only land vertebrates. A great number of diverse forms arose, the largest of which attained the size of crocodiles. Ancestors of these creatures were some lobe-finned fish that came out of the water about 300 .million years ago. The manner of their coming is not known but the event was momen­ tous for it was destined to lead to the rise of the dinosaurs and their eventital replacement by mammals, to the appearance of man and the de­velopment of his civilizations, to to­ tal wars and the release of atomic energy. Old-Time New Englanders Knew Lime Not Enough That lime alone is not enough to Iceep' the soil productive was well known by New England farmers more than .100 years ago, says Wm. A. Al­ brecht of the Missouri university col­ lege of agriculture. He quotes from a book, published in 1846 by a farm writer, Henry Coleman, as follows: “When a chemist in his laboratory wishes to liberate potash or silica from the soli he mixes It with lime and heats them together. By this means he renders soluble in acids or in water all that was insoluble be­ fore. Hie farmer performs exactly the same operation when he limes his land. He liberates by this means the silica, the potash and the phoi^hates from the soil and enables thei to ad­minister to the. wants of vegetation. But he has furnished no equivalent for that removed by the crops and, therefore. It must infallibly happen that the conttauance of the system is merely a rapid system of exhaust­ ing the soil.” Commenting on this himdred-year- old statement. Dr. Albrecht says: "They did not realize in 1846 that lime was a fertilizer, as we know it today. But they did know that lime alone Is not all that crops take from the soil. . . . They may even have written the old jtaigle: ‘time and lime without man’jre makes father rich but son poor’.” Search for Petroleum’s Origin New theories of how nature formed petroleum millions of years ago pro­ mise to aid the world search for oil. The greatest pools of oil have been fbund in areas which in past geologic thnes have been lakes, seas, or shore lines, according to Dr. Benjamin T. Brooks, of New York, who, at a meeting of the American Chemical society explained that vegetable and animal matter deposited in these places was rapidly covered with thick layers of mud and sand and thus pre­ served from complete decay. Petrol­eum geologists have long been inter­ ested in tlie question of how petrol­ eum Is formed, believing that such knowledge, will greatly aid in the finding of new oil fields. Current in­vestigations have thrown a great deal of light on oil formation and particu­larly on such questions as why oil occurs in abundance in certain rock formations and not in others. Duel With European Com Borer Back In 1917 near Boston, many sweet com fields were found which were being severely injured by light colored worms which tunneled in the stalks and later attacked the ears This was the first evidence that a new crop-destroying insect—the Euro­ pean com borer—had arrived in this country. By 1910 the European com borer had spread westward into the states bordering on the Great Lakes and southward to the Ohio river and along the coast to the North Carolina line. Damage in 1940 was about 6.5 milUon doUars. In 1943 the loss to­taled 33 million dollars and in 1947, the com borer had caused a loss of 97 million dollars. In 1947 the known westward Umlt of spread was in cotmUes west of the Missouri river and the southern limit was in north­ ern Tennessee and North Carolina.

Our County And Social Security By Mrs. Ruth G.ufty, Manager. Most everyone thih’ls of O ld • Age and Suavivors insurance as a retirement plan for those who are 65 years old or older. Actually the orogram benefits manv other groups, especially children. You mav be skeptical as was an em­ ployee of a small cancern with whom I talked several days ago who said “How wil Social Securi­ ty help my children?” I’ll tell you as I told him. That ascount num­ ber card you carry with you a- m unts to much more than just y6ur name ann a long number. It represents an insurance policy on which you make payments every time your employee hands you a. pay check. And, in case of your death, your minor children, if they are dependent on you, are the chief beneficiarie.s. The payments begin wi.h the month of death and continue until each of your children reaches the age of 18. You have probably asked your­ self a dozen times: "If something happened to me, how would my family get along? How far could my wife stretch the monthly pay­ ment from my life insurance?” Here is an actual case where So­ cial Security benefits are a great help to a small family. I won’t use the real names. Mr. Stevens told me that her husband had died leaving three small children. After talking with her awhile, I realized that 1 had seen her hus­ band often on tnps to that sec­ tion of my area. He was an at' tendant at a gas station where I often stopped for service and for directions to various parts of the county. I helped Mrs. Stevens complete an application for Social Security benefits for herself and children. 1 could not tell her at the time how much she would receive but assured her that there would be monthly payments. After secur­ ing a record of her husband’s ear­ nings from our central office in Baltimore, I wrote her that she would get $50 a month foi herself and children. 1 later saw her. She said that when she first talked with me the had no idea how she was going to get along on small monthly payments from the in, surance policy her husband carried with the $50 from Old-Age and Survivors Insurance she could get by if she budgeted carefully. This is only one of the many cases of this kind handled each day by So­ cial Security offices throughout the country. Your Government provides this method for wage earners to build protection for themselves and their families. I will be in Mocksville Feb. 23, at the court house, second floor, at 12:30 noon. 1 will also be in Cooleemee at the Erwin Cotton Mills office at 11 a. nu, same day. THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE. N.

I have so looked forwai, to surprising him.” Mrs. Gerald Ivering, home from six montlis in Europe, had reached New York a day earlier than she had cabled her husband. Her maid held the young wife by the arm as they went up the steps. In the hall Kit­ty whispered, “Go up and unpack, Parrish. I can find my way very well . . . just as if . . Parrish smiled fondly at her mis­tress . . . a face sweetly calmed by years of darkness and patient suffering. "Blindness made you no less lovely, said Parrish. '*And you could see noihivs fifJer than yourself" Parrish watclied her feeling the wall to her husband’s study. Gerald Ivering moved hastily away from the woman who sat be­ side him. He put his finger to her lips, then touched his eyes to call to mind that she who stood in the door could not see tliem. “Kitty! You wired you’d be on Wednesday’s plane. And there was no one tliere to meet you.” “I wanted to walk in on you like this when you were aU alone and thinking of me,” she cried. Th e woman moved noiselessly and stood by the mantle. liitty took the place slie had left. Ger­ ald, an uneasy frown on his face, sat beside her. “It is late,” said the blind girl. “I knew I would find you alone. Have you been very lonesome for me, Gerald? \Vhat did you do while I v.-as away?” “It has not been easy without you,” he said. "You vever eared for anyoue but me, Gerald, did you?” persisted Killy. "There was no other u'oviauy’ “But there was, Kitty . . . a year before you came. I thought I loved her and she pretended to care for me. I %vas just a young lawyer then. I had notliing to offer and she married a wealthy man.” “Ycu ceased to love her then, of course. Did you never see her again?”“Yes. I saw her , . . recently.” “Tell me. What Is she like? Is she prettier than I? . . . Tall, per­haps, %vith black hair and eyes and very red lips and a soulless face . . . a sort of woman whom it is death for a mah to love?” Tl:e woman moved angrily. A different crimson from that which decked her cheeks flooded her fore­head. Gerald gazed in wonder. He smiled cynically. “Slie is aU you describe.

She was untrue to my love and she is now untrue to i^asseroles Please, ^ Satisfy fippietites Duiing Cold Weather WOMEN LIKE casseroles for dinner and supper menus because they’re taste-tempting and satisfy­ ing to the family. At the same time, a well-planned casserole contains high nutritive value and stays within hard-pressed food bugets. If you’re short on time when pre­paring a meal, it’s easy to whip to­ gether a casserole. Then, too, be­ cause a casserole contains so many other foods and frequently includes vegetables, there’s little to worry about for the remainder of the meal. 1 Even if the casserole contains no I vegetables, you can serve those in a salad which takes no time to toss together. Fresh or canned fruits, and cookies from the old stone crock will do beautifully for des­ sert. PORK LEFT over from a roast vvaU work nicely in this biscuit roll.

Inevitable Critics Lesson for February 13, 1949 Q N C E UPON a time, so the old ^ story goes, there was a chame­ leon, a lizard that can change its color to match whatever it stands on. They put him on a black cloth and he turned black; on a red tablecloth a n d ^ he turned red; on a R green billiard table S and he turned green, jjk. Then some mean i person set him down Mon a Christmas neck- • J s tie—and the poor lit- ---- tie thing exploded, Foreman This is a parable o£ the person who tries to please every­ body. It can’t be done—and it ought not to be tried. “Woe unto you,” said Jesus, “when all men speak well of you.”Jesus Christ himself did not please every one. Not even a per­ fect personality can be 100 per cent popular. Not that Jesus enjoyed; rubbing people the wrong way. ! There was nothing perverse about j him. He was deeply sincerely, [ friendly, and to lose any friendships i must have been even more painful for him tlian for us who are so sel­ fish. Nevertheless he did make enemies, he had his critics; and his followers may expect no better.« * » Misunderstanding Motives ONE POINT on which Jesus met terrific opposition was his at­ titude toward the Sabbath. Repeat­ edly he or his disciples would do things on the Sabbath which (as Jews then understood the law) v/ere quite wrong. There are Jewish com­ munities in Palestine today v/here a man walking on the street on the Sabbath smoking a cigarette would be warned to put It out; for It Is against the Mosiac law to light a fire on the sacred day, even a tiny fire at the end of a cigarette. It was just that sort of thing that Jesus ran into, more than once. His enemies misunder­ stood, or at least misrepres­ ented, his motives. They claimed that he was “blas­ phemous,” that is, that he was de­liberately making light of God’s law. The truth was that he was act­ ing by God’s highest law—the law of love. Helping people in need was more important than keeping the letter of the Sabbath law. Jesus’ ex­ ample may help us here.« « * Stepping Out of Bounds WTHEN Jesus healed the man with the palsy, it was not the cure his critics found fault with, it was his first saying “Your sing are for­ given.” “Wlio can forgive sins but. God alone?” they said. In short, the Pharisees thought — some of them perhaps sincerely—that Jesus was stepping out of bounds, pretending to do something that he had no right to attempt and no power to accom­plish. Now Jesus did have both the right and tlie power to say what he said to that sick and sinful man. And he inacie no apologies for going beyond the limits his critics set for him. So we tdo may sometimes be ac­cused of “biting off too much,” of going beyond our powers or capa­cities. Our critics may be right, you know, though Jesus’ critics never were. But how often they are wrong! If Lincoln had listened to his critics he never would have left his back­woods-law office; they did not think him fit to be president. If the Wright boys had listened to their neighbors, they never would have flown an air­ plane, for who would have thought a couple of bicycle mechanics could do what so Many scientists said was impossible?» * « The Company You Keep IESUS’ friends got lilm into trou­ ble, as Mark shows us. For one thing, some were the “wrong sort” like Matthew the tax-collector. Then his friends had an unconventional kind of religion, they actually seemed happy about it instead of gloomy like some of John’s dis­ ciples. And to make matters worse, his friends “broke” the Sabbath laws much as Jesus did. All in aU, Jesus’ critics complained that Jesus’ friends were a bad lot, and they judged him by the company he kept. But Jesus knew his friends better than his enemies did. He never gave up or loosened a single friend&hip on his critics’ account. Some of his friends gave him up, but he never gave them up. So the Christian, if he'has any­thing like Jesus’ gift for making friends, may find himself criticized for their sakes.

He said, “It’s their baby, let them nurse it.” Another member wan­ted to know if we were going to have any more female weath r. He replied, “Maybe, when Mrs. Groundhoe has charge of the con­trols.” Another member wanted to know what he thought about North Carolina voting out liquor ahd having a dry state.

INAUGURATION: Brief htterhide President Truman could lay valid claim to the title “busiest man in the world.” The inaugural behind him, the nation’s chief executive was up to his neck in problems, both foreign and domestic.ON THE HOME FRONT,' there was a little matter of having con­ gress impliment Democratic cam­ paign pledges and provide funds for the continuing armament ex­ pansion. Abroad, with this nation committed to the gargantuan task of saving the world from com­ munism, the problem was equally monumental.But for awhile, on January 20, Harry Truman, Missouri farm boy who rose to the presidency of the United States, once by succession, currently on his own vote-getting prowess, relaxed, basked in public adulation, may even have forgotten the tremendous pressure imder which he labored.ORIGINALLY PLANNED as a more or less sedate affair, with this atmosphere desired by Truman, the inauguration, instead, was turned into one of the most lavish and spectacular since Andrew Jackson rode into the top spot. Packed and jammed, Washing­ton gave a hero’s welcome to the World War I artillery captain. Tru­man buttons, Truman pictures, Truman banners were greatly in evidence and the President, seeing these and the vast multitudes, must have wondered if there were any­ one at all who voted against him in the November election.BUT THE INTERMISSION from duty was brief. The parade, the swearing in ceremonies, the round of gala capital affairs that night, and the next day, Harry Truman was again on the job. Peace has been his rallying cry. Its importance marked all his utterances. Now he was buckled down to the job of trying to pre­ serve it. Men of good will every­where in the world were wishing him success. MONKEYS: Up in the Air For whatever benefit it may be to scientists or anthropologists, two sad-eyed dogs wUl no.t calm 300 Rhesus monkeys.THIS WAS graphically, if some­ what disturbingly demonstrated when 30 crates of the monkeys ar­rived in New York by plane from the Azores.The trip started sedately enough with all the monkeys locked in their crates. . Two large, sad-eyed dogs were along because someone had said their presence would tend to keep tranquil the monkeys’ spirits. Somehow most of the monkeys got out of the crates and suddenly there were monkeys in the cockpit, monkeys through the plane, mon­ keys peeping out of windows and monkeys even trying to liberate other monkeys. Capt. Miguel Braganca and his crew, heavily outnumbered, was forced to stay in the forward part of the ship while the monkeys cavorted. The monkeys saw to that. Says the captain: “They kept hang­ ing on the cockpit door and watch­ing us aU the time.” ■When th e plane reached La Guardia field, about a dozen chat­ tering monkeys were starting to climb out the windows, but eight airline cargomen joined the crew and with brooms and blankets fi­nally snared the truants. The monkeys were consigned for infantile paralysis research. SIX “NO’S”: Was It Bevolt? Six Democrats joining with sen­ ate Republicans gave the GOP victory in the first test of strength since the 81st congress convened. The issue may have been trivial, but the result burned Democratic leaders. Scott Lucas, Illinois, suc­cessor to Vice-President Barkley as majority floor leader, “sputtered.” Barkley was also put out. For, it appeared, the result was an unex­ pected as it was “humiliating.” THE ISSUE was exemption of inauguration tickets from federal amusement taxes. The exemption slid through the house 199 to 49, so one can imagine the surprise when it failed in the senate. Chief target ot administration censure was Kentucky’s Virgil Chapman. But those who remembered the Kentucky campaign would recall that Chapman showed no little independence in his drive for votes. Cupid Curbed Open Campaign Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and Linda Brown, 4, March of Dimes poster girl, open the anna! anti­ polio drive in Washington. Linda was cured of polio through the Na­ tional Fonndatiou for Infantile Paralysis. The army is making it tougher for American G.I.’s to marry Ger­ man frauleins. In the first place, many army authorities and chap­ lains suspect too many German girls are using marriage as an excuse to escape from the hard life of occupied Germany to the United States. There is also an apparent desire to protect ycung draftees expected to start arriving soon in Germany. He did not completely endorse the Democratic platform, would not be led into enthusiastic “me too” dec­ larations.Lucas was vehement. “On whose coattails did Chapman come to the senate,” h e demanded, “t h e Truman-Barkley coattails or those of Dewey and Warren?” Other angry Democrats rushed to point out that Chapman ran 100,000 votes behind Truman and Barkley in Kentucky.JOINING CHAPMAN in the “no” votes were Democratic Senators Byrd, Johnson, Maybank, Mc- Cellan, Robertson and Russell. Chapman didn’t take criticism lying down. He declared, in effect, that if such taxes are to be removed, it ought to be done in regular le^s- lative process, not by hurried action on the floor.Republicans were more meta­ phorical. They argued that since there is a tax on powder used on babies, a woman dressing up for an inauguration ball should regard her powder as more of a luxury than powder applied to a baby. This statement followed an effort to exempt baby powder for federal taxation which failed of approval. OLIVE BRANCH: Bevin Recants British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin apparently was relenting in his stand on the Palestine situation. Gingerly he held out an olive branch: Britain’s willingness to re­ lease Jewish immigrants of fighting age now held in Cyprus, his per­ sonal and strong support of peace negotiations between Israelis and Egyptians at Rhodes.Observers declared this position “deliberate and genuine effort on his part . . . to seek peace with Israel and his critics in Britain and in the U. S. WHATEVER MOTIVATED the foreign secretary, there was no overlooking the fact that criticism had been mounting both in England and America. With the pressure continuing, the situation might have resolved itself into one holding the very political future of Bevin.The foreign minister also in­ dicated that de facto recognition of the government of Israel was being seriously considered. If that step were taken by Great Britain, it would mean the death knell of Arab hopes for continuation of strife or any eventual triumph in the Holy Land controversy. D. S. BUDGET: Under Attack The question whether President Truman’s 21 billion dollar budget was excessive was being raised again. This time John Foster Dulles, chairman of the U. S. delega­ tion to the United Nations general assembly in Paris, raised the issue. The budget, which Dulles ques­tioned, provides 15 billions for military expenditures, six billions for foreign aid during fiscal 1950.DULLES THOUGHT it too high. He pointed to dwindling war fears and potential menace to U. S. economical health as reasons for curtailment of Truman proposals.Conceding that there is a “risk” of war, Dulles declared the “risk is not so great that we should seriously jeopardize oiu: own eco­nomic health . . . by saddling our­ selves with such vast armament.” Dulles suggested cause, implied a remedy. He blamed lack of suf­ficient unification of U. S. armed forces for administration belief in' the need of huge military outlay, and declared that present huge | military expenditures cannot go on. “I thing our armament is exag­gerated by the fact that there is not sufficient unification between | the different branches of our (armed) services,” he said. “It seems as though the rivalry were such that each branch wants to be strong enough so that if there is a war it can win it alone, without I help from- anybody.” Dulles said there is “less fear | of war,” than there was last year, but commented:“OF COURSE, there is always a risk. You have a tense situation like a dry autumn in the woods when any fool can start a fire. “It is entirely possible, however, to have better relations with Russia and I think it is probable.” The problem was up to congress. Could it gamble on the “fool” in the woods, or should it prepare with all possible equipment to stand by for a possible conflagration? Tourist Queen Washihgtoh Tax Bill Is Rabbit Stew To Congressman Doughton By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. WASHINGTON, D. C.—^Another rabbit stew has been served up to Rep. Robert L. Doughtbn of North Carolina, and he’s all ready for it. Representative Doufiiton, I might suggest if you don’t know it, is not only the oldest member of the house of representatives (85) but like- | wise the oldest hand at handling tax measures. |He had to step down from the chairmanship of the ways and means | committee for the brief Republican interlude. Now he’s back at the old stand, sharpening the butcher knife again. CLASSIFIED d e p a r t m e n t BUSINESS & INVEST. OPFOR. S115 PUTS TOU IN POPCORN BUSINESS Profit TOf...

Eleven afre^VSround wim But to get back to rabbit stew. Last season when President Tru­ man vetoed the second Knutson tax-cutting bill and and fired it back at congress, a reporter asked Doughton how he felt about it. He leaned back and told a story, for he’s fond of answering in para­ bles.A Tarheel house­ wife, it seems, served her husband rabbit stew every night for a week. When the second Saturday night came around and the same old dish with it, the husband bowed his head as usual, but instead of saying grace he was heard to mutter: “Rabbit’s rough. Rabbit’s tough. Oh, Lord, I’ve had rab­ bit enough” That, opined Mr. Doughton, was the way he felt about the tax biUs.But he has to help meet the big­ gest peacetime budget ever sub­mitted to a congress and he’s ready for it.In the 38 years that he has rep­resented the state of North Carolina in the congress, the habits of the dean of the octogenarian’s club in the lower house have changed very little since the last time. I explored them in some detail more than a score of years ago.He has earned a tremendous re­ spect from the men who work on fiscal matters in the house of rep­resentatives where the money bUls have to originate. And because he has a theory of his own about col­lecting and spending the people’s money, no bill comes out of his DIXIECRATS: Bough Road The road ahead looked rough for state’s righters. Democratic administration forces were showing little patience with southern old-liners who bad bolted the party in the presidential elec­tion. THE PURGE SWORD swung first at the un-American activities com­mittee and two heads tumbled. They were those of Representative John A. Rankin, fiery Mississippian, and P. Edward Herbert, Louisiana, both of whom supported the state’s rights ticket against President Tru­man in November.Rankin, along -with everyone else, knew the blow was coming, ac­cepted it calmly. BONUS BILL: Amvets Beady Amvets, World War 11 veterans organization, has announced its intention to ask Congress for an immediate veterans bonus which they think might'cost as much as 67 billion dollars. The organization said it will carry its proposal to congress soon.A similiar bill prepared by the Veterans of Foreign Wars is in the house hopper, having been offered by Rep. Rankin, Mississippi This German fraulein, Miss Elfi Giovanelli, was chosen “tourist queen” and wiU tour the V. S. this year in an effort to stimulate attendance at an import exhibi­ tion in western Germany. PERFECT: Testers Amazed U. S. air force intelligence testers rubbed their eyes, looked again. Yes, there it was—a perfect I. Q. score by a gangling, bespectacled Kentucl^ youth seeking a connec­ tion with the military.WILLIAM M. BELEW, 18, of Simpsonville had done what no one before him had been able to achieve, something the army believed im­possible. Told he was not expected to answer all the questions correct­ly, he nevertheless went ahead and, in rapid-fire order, dashed through the test without a single error.It was the preliminary test given volunteers at the air force recruit­ing office in Louisville. The testers were amazed. They checked, re­ checked the score, found it perfect. They then checked the records. Sure enough, Belew was the first to make a perfect score. THESE NEW TESTS, much more exacting than the old, have been in use since last May. Questions are divided into three sections, vocabulary, arithmetic, and per­ ception of spatial relationship. There are 45 questions and they miKt be answered in 40 minutes. Belew will give the air force a trial. If he likes it, he wUl make it a career; if he doesn’t he wiU take up accounting. A Simpsonville high school basketballer and diamond per­former, Belew stands six feet taU, weighs 160 pounds, was expected to pass the army physical examina­tion with ease. Best Voices The best “telephone voices” in the nation for 1948 were chosen by telephone operators of New York. The voices? Most sincere; Mrs, Eleanor Roosevelt and Ted Collins, owner Boston Yanks pro football team; most courteous: Joe Di- Maggio and ■ Mrs. Alfred Gynne Vanderbilt; most sensuous: Bita Hayworth, Actor Richard Ney; most expressive: Actor Jose Ferrer and Sister Elizabeth Kenny. "Ob, Lord, I've had rabbit enough,’ committee looking very different than he wants it to look, though it may not always suit aU the other members. Doughton doesn’t go so far as to say that fiscal legislation should be non-partisan, but he does say it ought to be as non-provincial and as pro-national as possible. His experience in collecting mon­ ey that ought to be collected goes back a long way.One story involves a man he went to see about a horse—two horses, to be exact. This man had bought a team from Doughton (the congress­ man is still a farmer in his own right, though he has to spend more time away from home than he used to). Later on the man wrote that he didn’t think the span was worth the $800 he had agreed to pay and wouldn’t pay it. The deal had been negotiated at a distance and the principals had never met. So one day Doughton dropped in at the farm and said he wanted to look over a good team. The man show­ed several, but none seemed to suit Mr. Doughton. “All right,” said the man, “I’ll show yon the best pair you ever saw in your life.” He brought out the horses re­cently acquired from Mr. Doughton, but still unpaid for. And what might they be worth? WeU considerably over $800. ' Mr. Doughton introduced him­ self and didn’t have much trou­ble in collecting. There is another reason why Doughton is a god man to have on the coUecting end of a bargain— if you aren’t the debtor. He’s farmer, true, but he is also a bank­er, and he works at both when he isn’t in Washington. He doesn’t keep banker’s hours, however. He goes to his office at 6:30 a.m., works throughout the day, and he’s often back in the office after din­ ner. He lives right across the plaza from the Capital.For the first 45 years or so of his life, Mr. Doughton held no elective office, but he managed to find timfe for an active interest in his com­munity which is deep in the Caro­ lina hills. Laurel Spring, N. C., is still his home. He was bom on his parent’s farm near there. His father, wounded in the war between the states, died when he was a grown boy. His mother was keenly active to her last hours, interested in the day’s mail and the daily newspaper to the last.Inheriting some land from his father, the boy started off for him­self, gradually acquiring more until he became a livestock raiser and farmer. Then he entered business, finally becoming president of a bank. He has described himself as a horse trader. There are many tales that have grown up about his astuteness that, if embellished by repetition, are not doubted by those who have watched his steady j advancement in congress.He entered under a Republican regime—President Taft’s—accepted minor committee appointments, but rose rapidly to the position he holds today—chairman of the power­ ful ways and means committee. One of th e horse-trader stories he tells is this: after disposing ot some animals he had meant to sell,, he was made a very attractive offer for the horse he was riding—bis own saddle horse. Done, he took the money, turned over the bridle, put the saddle under his arm and walked back home, 70 miles, says tradition, under his own power. There doesn’t seem to have been any deep-laid plan for a political career in the farmer boy’s mind when he began life among the ox­ carts and hand looms of those early days in the South following the war. Nor yet when he had acquired his own acres and entered, into the business life of the community. He was chosen a member of the state board of agriculture and served on the prison board. Then one day it was decided to run him for the state senate. He was elected and served for a term. Congress was next, but there was a sort of unwritten law in his dis­ trict that one term was all a man could expect, for Republicans and Democrats had always swapped terms. But Doughton changed all that. Or at least his con­ stituents did. When he had served his term In the 62nd con­ gress, instead of retiring him, as had been the custom, the voters sent him right back again, and they have been doing It ever since. There isn’t any question that Robert L. Doughton likes his job in Washington. But it’s equally true that when the session is over, he likes to hie himself back to his Carolina hills and enjoy life there. Around the capital he has the reputation as being as good a judge of men as he is of horses. He’s easy to talk to, likes a story, and can size up human as well as horse flesh while he is telling one. This year President Truman’s request for six billion dollars more in taxes, including £ome social security withholding levies, will get very careful scrutiny before it becomes law. Meanwhile, Dough- ton’s committee has to take care of the bin to extend reciprocal trade treaties. Also, studies wiU begin on the subject of extending social security benefits. There is in addition the matter of certain revisions in the basic tax code.But Representative Doughton is used to rabbit stew. » ‘uSderirri£tion."l.afge earaee buUd-with 5 rooms overhead, all fOT ^.000. down.

MOCKSVILLE. M. C. New State Secretary ED. NOTE—Drew Fearson today awards the brass ring, good for a free ride on the Wash­ington Merry-Go-Round, to Dean Acheson, new secretary of state. DE.-UM a c h e s o n, son of the late Episcopal suffragan bishop of Connecticut, has followed the reason­ able consistency an unadvertised but earnest desire to help his coun­ try, He has also cherished a desire, ever since he was a young lawyer in \Vashington, to clean up the horse- end-buggy diplomacy of the state department. Never in his fondest dreams, how­ ever, did Dean Acheson, in those youthful days, think that he might become secretary of state. His real ambition was to sit on the supreme court. The fact that he now finds him- soli secretary of state is probably due not only to ability—of which he has plenty—but to an act of kindness to a little man who had just suffered a slashing political defeat.In November 1946, Harry Tru­ man's party lost control of both houses of congress. The blow was ED great that more observers pre­ dicted Truman could never be re- e'ccted. Even some Democrats, especially Senator Fulbright of .4.r!:.--:nsas, suggested that “’Truman resign. Truman’s trip back to Washington from Independence, Mo., where he was almost like a funeral. 1. he arrived at the union sta- ti.-!n in Washington only one mem­ ber of tlie cabinet was on hand to n-:tet him, and he wasn’t really a "-ember. It was acting secretary cf state, Dean Acheson.-^.rjheson rode with the President back to the ^\'hite House where iruriian read over the singeing editcrial comment and asked Ache- scn what he should do. Acheson v. as bold and courageous. He ad­ vised Truman to issue a dignified, diplomatic statement urging co­ operation between congress and the Wnite House, pointing to other precedents where Presidents had faced hostile congresses. Truman agreed. Acheson drafted th e statement—a masterpiece— and the two men have been close frier.ds ever since. * • • Firsd Acheson Acheson is one of the few men ever fired by Franklin Roosevelt v.'ho has staged a comeback.His mentor throughout the years has been Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, who once taught him law at Harvard, recommended him as secretary of the late Justice Erar.deis, and urged FDR to make him solicitor general. Instead FDR made Acheson ur.cersecretary of the treasury, v.-i^-.ere he was out-of-step and miser- nb!e v.'hen, one day v.’hile waiting in an anteroom of the Wliite House, Tiev.snien came out to teD him that Soosovelt had just announced his resignation.^ # Fr;:n;durter Friend Almost every morning, the long, I?.r:’;y Acheson can be seen walk- ir.z L'.vo miles to work beside his old mentor. Justice Felix Frank- fiirler. It was Frankfurter who persuaded Roosevelt to take Ache- scn back seven years later as as- sisfant secretary of state, and it was Frankfurter who also urged Ache­son to ask the justice department to indict this columnist—a propos­ al v.-hich Acheson took up in cabi­ net meeting without success. ^ Aclieson first joined the state department in 1941 as assistant sec­retary in charge of congressional relations. He v/as an immediate success. Congressmen like Speaker Sarn Rayburn swore by him.* « 9 Masyland Farmer Despite high position, Acheson never has put on any airs, still lil:os to do chores around his Mary­ land farm in old clothes on Sundays. At the state department he juggled his own tray at the government cafeteria along with the clerks and stenographers. A.cheson entered the state depart­ ment pro-Russian—that is, in the sense that he felt the United States should do its best to cooperate with Russia, and that the peace of the world depended on the two coun­ tries. It was not long after Potsdam, however, that he began to be dis- ■illusioned. Ever since, he has been a consistent, vigorous, bitter nonappeaser. Friend of Hiss Some Senators will doubtless look askance at Acheson’s appointment because Alger Hiss and others, charged with purloining state de­partment documents, served with him, and because Donald Hiss, brother of Alger, is now in the Ache­son law firm. No one knows Acheson, however, would even re­ motely suspect him of any toleration of or connection with subversive influences. TEXAS TALK . . . Toting a six-shooter and wearing full cowgirl regalia, Linda Brown, 1949 Marcli of Dimes poster girl, tells Presi­dent Truman all about the “United States of Texas’* after the President presented her with a birthday cake on her fourth anniversary. Linda, who hails from San Antonio, was stricken with polio two years ago, but fully recovered through treatment provided by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. WILL GET WISH . . . Santa Claus couldn’t quite make it with the gift five-year-old David Cookson, Scranton, Pa„ wanted most for Christmas —a pair of hands. Bis parents were heartbroken when they could not fix it so Santa could arrange that gift, but Scranton veterans’ organ­izations raised a fund and little David will be fitted with mechanical hands. Be lost his in a threshing machine accident. CHILLT RESCUE . . . With ladders and ropes police haul John Lafek, 58, New York resident, who fell Into the East river and survived half an hour In the icy water, bellowing for help until rescuers arrived and dragged him out. A ladder is commandeered to get him completely ashore, after which he was treated at Bellevue hospital for submersion and shock. INAUGURAL MEDAL . . . Edwin H. Dressel, superintendent of the D. S. mint in Philadelphia, here holds the original plaster cast of the Presi­dent Harry Truman inaugural medal. Mrs. Nellie Taylor Boss, super­intendent of the mint in Washington and chairman of the Inaogural medal committee, holds first medal struck from die press in rear. Medals were sold and proceeds helped defray inauguration costs. So lai as was known, it was the first inaugural medal struck. Selection of Feeds Vital in Stock Health Ration fflust Be Ade^ate In Minerals, Vitamins What you feed your livestock to­day will determine the profit you make tomorrow, for experts are agreed that keeping livestock healthy is a profitable job—and to do that, care must be observed in choosing livestock feed.Feeding livestock on a ration de­ ficient in minerals, vitamins, pro­teins and carbohydrates, as well as fats, often leads to nutritional dis­ eases. Lack of any cf the common or trace minerals in home grown feeds may be and often is, respon­ sible for terrific livestock, feed, la­bor and investment losses. The problem of supplying miner­als in their right proportions is only a part of the compoimding of a product that wiU solve the livestock man’s problems. First, no matter how good the Ingredients that go into the making up of a feed, if livestock refuse to eat it the feed is useless so far as benefiting the animal is concerned. In recent years much has been discovered about livestock diseases due to dietary influences. In this connfection, the U. S. department of agriculture says: “Whenever a vital function . . . is interrupted owing to continued failure of the diet to supply sufficient quantities of essential nutrients, or to the in­ ability of the body to utilize these nutrients, the so-oaUed nutritional diseases develop.” Grand Cliamp Grand champion of the 49th International Live Stock exposi­ tion at Chicago was “Old Gold," a l,2G0-pound Black Angus junior, shown with C.

Weber of Kansas state college, the judge who picked the winner. *tove 4ppfe’ Popu/or The scarcity of tomatoes in the past year’s otherwise abimdant harvests recalls something of the history of this romantic fruit- vegetable. A sharp drop in production in some of the nation’s principal to­mato-growing areas means smaller domestic stocks of tomato soup, juices, stews, ketchup and chili sauce this winter. Unseasonable weather is given as the cause.' One himdred years ago the to­mato was just beginning an uphill fight for respectability as a food item. Indians of the Andes had cul­ tivated it since about 1000 A. D. The Azetcs of Mexico gave it the name that Cortez’ men altered into “tomato”—and they probably said “toh-mah»toh.” And the Spaniards took it back to Europe, but there it was recognized as a member of the deadly night-shade family. It was vTTinkled and small and was known as the . "love apple” in Europe and, later, in North Amer­ ica. And for centuries the supposed­ly poisonous fruit was nothing more than a garden ornament. Paper Lining Doubles Effect of Light Shades Lights around the house often seem dim at the time of year when evenings are longer. But light from lamps often can be increased by arranging for simple and better refiection. Light colors reflect light, dark colors absorb It. A white paper lin­ ing or a coat of white paint—or even white shoe polish on the in­side of a lamp shade may double t>r triple the light given'off.' Sunshine, Cleanliness Help Kill Disease Grass crops make ideal sani­ tary floors for the production and feeding of livestock because in order to maintain a good grass crop there must be plenty of sun­ shine, nature’s own and unex­celled disease-germ killer. Veternarians have been very successful in preventing swine erysipelas with the use of culture and serum—and in some cases, with serum alone.

ArtaKsat Straw, Formerly Wasted, Now Used for Pine Paper It Pays to Fight Everybody loves a fighter. For that reason, the popularity of Har­ ry S. Truman is running pretty high at this time. All the pollsters, all the misled, have had their say: President Truman was the man who wouldn’t be licked! Mr. Tru­ man was apparently the only can­didate who really took the opinion polls to heart. While the general public was being lulled to sleep by everybody’s opinion as to the out­come of the election, Candidate Truman got in there and fought.An American Ideal Preferences for candidates in the voting on November 2 were not the same as reported by the poll takers before election. What happened? My guess is this: a larger percent­age of those who favored a fighting man went out to vote than was the case with those favoring the non- fighter, who thought he would be elected anyhow. In other words, the opinion polls were interpreted by each candidate—by Mr. Truman in a way that helped elect Mr. Tru­ man and by Mr. Dewey In a way that defeated Mr. Dewey.The important thing is that the fighting man won. This is an old ^nerican principle. The man who works the harde.st, who never-says- die, is favored in the struggle for success. Our nation has been built by heroes, sung and unsung, who lived by that rule. May I submit that in these critical times, it will not be possible for America to keep her traditional place as the most favored of lands, unless Amer­icans are willing to take up the fight.Fight or Die Why has America more national income than any other six nations you can name? Why do more American youth have a chance to go to high school and college than go in all the rest of the world put together? Why do American work­ers have the highest wages in all the world? Here are some of the reasons: we have the right to own property, to operate our own busi­ nesses and compete with each oth­er, to invest capital in industrial tools.Moreover, we Americans can work at the job we like, wherever we like, with equal justice for all. If we keep these liberties, preserve constitutional government, and mamtain freedom of individual op­portunity, it will be possible for us to double our wages and standards of living, as we did during the last generation. If we turn to govern­ment management and thus kill our incentives, we can expect wages and living standards to go down 50 per cent below the present level. Stakes Are High Step by step America is being pushed in that direction. A few more steps, and we may find our­selves under such pressure that we cannot avoid socialism, and the communism that fellows it. Our people must understand these facts. More important, we must be active it) preserving the fundamentals of our American way of life.The price is stiU ‘‘eternal vigi* lance.” Are we willing to fight valiantly by every means: plat­ form, radio, press, screen, and conversation — to preserve Ameri- ■ca’s freedoms? If so, we can keep our freedoms. Otherwise, they will pass away, as from Greece and Rome. It takes a valiant heart. Those who win are those who fight. Have you heard Ur. Benson and the radio drama **Land of the Free'*? Check your local station for time. Practical Viewpoint ■ Tlie teacher, telling her class about various types of leather, ended her discussion with the question: “Now who can tell me the chief use for cowhide?” A small boy who had been gazing off into space during most of the period surprised the teacher by rais­ ing his hand.“Yes, Jimmy?” ‘‘To hold the cow together.” Nobody Believes Him William Fitelson, probably New York’s most successful theatrical at­ torney, tells of a trial in an upstate town in which the examining lawyer was trying to ascertain the vericity of the defendant by questioning one of his farmer neighbors. The an­swer was highly enlightening. “Can't say he don’t never tell the truth,” the witness averred, ‘‘but if he wanted his hogs to come to feed, he’d have to git someone else to call ‘em.” Early Days of Red Cross Red Cross societies of San Fran­cisco, Berkeley, CaWand, and several other California cities sprang into ex­istence in the early days of the Span- Ish-American war to serve troops of the California national guard, known as the First California Volunteers, who had been ordered to Manila. The effect of the surrender of the Spanish army at Santiago, Cuba, less than three months after the( declaration of war, was to cause the theater of war to transferred speedily from ..le Caribbean to the Philippines. Troops for this campaign, v;hich was to last three years, came from all parts of the country and were mobilized In San Francisco. This mobilization de­ veloped the need of a broad, active Red Cross program. Fine paper from wheat straw, up to now usually wasted or burned on U. S. farms, is the promise of a new process developed by the department of agricultin-e’s laboratory at Peoria, m. Paper from straw is not new, but the process, which reduccs the chemi­ cal cost and gives significantly higher pulp yields, is. Next come mill-scale trials, which domestic paper companies will watch with interest. Dutch paper engineers, to whom the proccss was sugpjested, •re using it siiccessful’y on a com­ mercial scale in Holland. v,-here straw la the main raw material for paper, iAbout 25 mills in the Midwest pro­ duce annually 500,000 tons of straw- board for the contp-ner industry fromwheat straw. But the cost of obtf in- Ing clean straw has provioiTsly been a stumbling block to usinj; .-traw for fine papers in this coimtry.

This is Cue to short supplies of pulpwood species are being used faster than grown, and Canada is drastically limiting pulpwood exports to the United States. Last year 95 million tons of wheat straw was grown. The straw burned and wasted would have been enough to produce 20 million tons of cellulose pulp, this country’s entire requirement. Electrical Hazards Cited By University Besearcher Spectacular dangers of high-volt­ age electrical circuits, well known and well guarded against, paradoxi­ cally constitute a lesser danger to the average person than do low-voltage electrical appliances abound. This is one of the points raised by Charles F. Dalziel, associate profes­ sor of electrical ensineering at Hie University of California, in a now summary of the results of several years research in electrical shock. Professor Dalziel revnews informa­ tion on the behavior of shock and damage producing electrical currents and charges, describes their physio­logical effects, and lists some acci­ dent statistics. Dalziel warns that while it is true that the hazard from contact with electrical circuits is largely dependent upon voltage, the actual danger to life depends aImo.<!t entirely upon the amount of current flowing through the body. He cites as an example that a man acr’r’3ntally comi-i" into contact with a 60.000-volt circuit when standing on a very dry wood pole may cause a smaller current to flow that he who inadvertently grasps a defective 110-volt portable appliance when In a bathtub.

S. Air Mail Service After viewing the potentialities of the ail-plane during World V/ar I, congress appropriated $100,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1918, to establish an experimental air mail route. With army pilots doing the fly­ ing, the first scheduled trip was launched May 15, 1918, between New York and Washington via Philadd- phia. Service over this 218-mile route consisted of one round trip daily, ex­cept Sunday. Three months later the post office took over the entire op­ eration. Out of this himible begin­ning developed coast-to-coast air mall service. On May 15, 1919, mail took to the air between ChicaJro and Cleve­land: on July 1, 1919, between Cleve­ land and New York; on May 15, 1920, between Chicago and Omaha. Then on September 8,1920, the Omaha-San Fran-isco leg was added. An airway now linked the Pacific and Atlantic cor.sts for the first time—^the U. S. air mail Route No. 3. Et?ked T-: es Ei:h-r la Vitamin C, ’est Sh-rws Whether to s*' e and prune toma­ to vines or to let them sprawl on the ground has long I- len a subjaot of ar­ gument amon" r irdeners. Those in favor of staldng. or otherwise sup'. porting the vines, point out that it saves space in the- garden, keeps the fruit clean, protec's it from rot from the soil, and makes for ea^er har­vesting. Those opposed argue against the time and labor required. A new reason for staking now comes from the Main experiment sta­tion as a result of recent studies on vitamin C in tomatoes. The'studies show that tomatoes from vines which have been staked and pruned are richer in vitamin C because they get more sunshine during ripening. This is important to the many families who rely on tomatoes, fresh and home- canned, as the prnclpal source of vitamin C in the diet Previous studies have shown that by far the greatest influence on the vitamin C content of any variety of tomatoes is the amount of suhlight they receive before harvesting. Al­though the gardener cannot control the weather, he oan plant tomatoes In a sunny location, train them to stakes or other supports, and trim them so that they are not shaded and are ex­posed to as much sunshine as possi­ ble. Eradlca^g Ear Ticks Field tests show that a single ap­ plication of BHC (benzene hexa- chJoride) in pine oil will kill all ear ticks on an animal and that the ears will remain tick-free for over twoweeks. LOOKING AffMAD n GEORGE s. BENSON PiesUnt—Mariiiis CatUje Searcg. Who Wants “Housing”? The central planners are at it again. They are getting set to try to push housing legislation through the special session of congress. There is hardly a bill to be con­ sidered that the “planners” and so­ cialist-minded experimenters will push harder than a public housing bill. They realize that government housing, and the huge and waste­ful' spending that goes with it, would put the federal government right in business.What is the origin of the idea that our government should subsidize housing and pass out the costs at it to the ta^^ayers? Where does the idea come from that the gov­ ernment of a nation is obligated to furnish houses and lodging to its people? These ideas did not origi­ nate in America, the land of tlie free. They came from Europe and from Russia. These ideas have been tried over there. They have never turned out any results, ex­ cept coIossaUfailure. Promise and Spend The only lasting effect of Euro­pean pubUc housing has been pub­ lic debt. Their projects did not give them more houses, nor elimi­nate situns, nor provide homes for the poor. However, their experi­ ments did give the Socialists and Communists a free ride to power. Time after time, these political gangs rode to power on public hous­ ing programs—so easy was it to promise and spend, promise and spend. Now, their people continue to pay heavy taxes for projects long since dead. It is amazing the lessons of his­tory are thus ignored, and the American people are asked to turn over their housing problems to the government. Our nation is great today, and our land a land of plen­ ty, because we Americans have had the initiative to do things for our­ selves. We have not been willing, in- the past, to turn our everyday lives over to an expanding govern­ ment. Our fathers did not stand back and beg the federal govern­ment to do everything for them.Unhappy !Kmes The British people have had un­ happy times with public housing and subsidies. During the thirties they tried public hou.sing on a large scale. But it was only after gov­ernment had failed, that private in­dustry came in' and produced a real boom in housing. 'Hie present So­cialist government in England is biterested in public housing. It is routine there to interfere with the liberties and freedoms of the peo­ple. The New York Times on May 5 carried a short dispatch from a small English town. It said that a carpenter had used his life savings and his own hands to build himself a smaU cottage, only to have gov- emmem wrecking crews come in to tear it down because he did not have a permit to build. Demolition ciews were called off only after neighbors had petitioned the Prime Minister and considered appealing to the King. Freedom Easily LostThe news story indicated that the “Ministry of Town and Country Planning” would have to decide whether the carpenter would be permitted to live in the house he put up with his own hands. Thirty years ago no Englishman could have thought that his rights and liber­ties would ever be subject to the whims ot a government bureau, like that. It takes centuries to win free­ dom and liberty, but it is possible to lose the same freedoms almost overnight. Notice To Creditors Having qualified as administra' tor of the estate of J. D .

Hindering Failures Rev. W. K. Nrnhnnr, Hitfti Point, N. C, P4 It is very easy to let failures in the past of one’s life stand in the wav of his fnture progress and suc­ cess. No doubt this is true of manv people.

What should be done with our failures is to regret them, re­ pent of them, turn from them, and sinccrely ask God to biot them out, ss much as pos.sible. then turn to future and make the best possible of the golden and precious opp r tnnities which God will bring be. fore us. We have no doubt but that men with great talents, and even with great learning, and with opportnni ties sufficient to enable them torise to the highest peakf of manhood, success and blessing, have simplv tailed to amount to anything great because they have let past failures stand between them and future privileges and opportunities. This ought not to he.

Even to do the little things that opportunity afforts is owned and blessed of God, and will enable us to live doblv and die triumph- ansiv.

WOOD ON WOOD Just one hundred and thirteen years ago, in 1836, Davie County was formed from a part of Rowan County. The area is Z56 square miles. Davie was named for Gen, W illiam Richardson Davie, of Halifax, who was bom m England Jan. 20,1756. Gen. Davie served in the Revolutionary Army, and was the founder of the State U ni­ versity. He was appointed Gov­ ernor of North Carolina in 1799, and was appointed a special envoy to the first French Republic while in office. He died in South Cai- olina Nov. 18, 1820. The county seat of Davie is Mocksville, which now has a po­ pulation of about 2,200. Mocks­ ville was named for the Mock family, the oresent site of which was once called‘‘Mock’s old field.” The first court was held in 1836 in the Methodist Church. The first court house was built of brick in 1837, pictured above. This court house was used until 1909, when a new court house was built. This new building was badly damaged by fire in 1916, the second storv being practically de­ stroyed. The damage was repair­ ed, and Davie has a modern, up- to-date court house. The court house built 113 years ago, was tom down in 1920, to make room for the new concrete State highway which links Mocks­ ville and Salisbury. The old court house was located in the center of the public square where the W in­ ston-Salem, Statesville and Salis­ bury highways now converge. John Clement, who wus in the Legislature from Rowan County, had a bill passed forming Davie County from the upper portion of Rowan. The same bill carried a proviso that John Clement be the first Clerk of the Court in Davie. This position he held un­ til 1845. Martin R. Chaffin, great uncle of the editor of The Record, who died in 1924, at the age of 98, was a young boy of 13, when the jail was built in 1839, and was em­ ployed to keep the shavings clear­ ed out of the building during the course of erection. The old jail is still standing but has been re­ modeled and is now owned . nd occupied by Lonnie Kurfees, A new jail was built about 39 years ago in the rear of the court house. The following county commis­ sioners were in office when bonds were issued to build the new court house in 1909: C. G. Bailev, chair­man; B. F. Stonestreet and Dr. J. M . Cain. 'The county attorneys were Thos. B. Bailey and A. T. Grant, Jr. A ll of these men are. now dead except A. T. Grant. | The corner stone ot the present, court house was laid by the local Masonic t,odge, assisted by Ma sons from other sections of the State. The first railroad in Davie coun ty was the N. C. Midland, built in 1891, connecting Mocksville ahd W inston. In 1899 the line was extended from this city to Moores- ville. Davie county issued $40,- 000 in bonds to help build the railroad from the Yadkin River to Mocksvillc, a distance of 12 miles. These bonds are still owned by the county. Mr. Wimple was sujig for divorce. "And then Judge,” he protested, “my wife hit me on the head with an oak leaf.”“Well, that couldn’t liave hurt you surely,” the Judge commented.“Oh, couldn’t it?" answered Wim­ ple, “It was the oak leaf from the center of the dining room table.” Thankful Tea«her Little Tobey was telling his mother about the day in school. “Mother,” he said, “today our teacher asked me whether I had any brothers or sisters, and I told her I was the only child.”“And what did she say?” asked his mother. “She said, ‘Thank goodness!’ •' WASTED WOMANHOOD A middle-aged woman lost her balance and fell out of a window into an ash can. A Chinese hap­pened to pass by, and remarked: “Americans velly wasteful. That woman good for 10 years yet,” Becrolt Trouble It was a very hot day and the sergeant was having some awkward moments with the awkward squad. At his wits’ end, he called a halt and wiped his sweating brow, ' “I’m cussed if I know what to do with the lot of you,” he growled, , “There’s some shady trees over there,” suggested a recruit hope­ fully, “I know,” said the non.^:om, “but I haven’t got any rope,” CANNIBALISM Liittie Boy m woodshed: “Father, did grandpa spank you when you were a little -boy?” Father with paddle: “Yes, my son.” Little Boy: "And did great-grand- pa spank grandpa when he was a little boy?”Father: “Yes, son.” Boy: “And did great-great-grand- pa spank great-grandpa?”Father: “Yes.” Boy: “Well, don’t you think with my help you could overcome this inherited rowdyism?” Bed Clothes “Look here, mister,” snarled the customs inspector. “You told me there was nothing in the suitcase except clothing and I found a bot­tle of whiskey.”- “Sure,” replied the accused one, “that’s my nightcap.” On the Beam At present ths radio-beam high­ ways of the sky have definite limita­tions, since only a limited number of planes can fly the beam In a given di­ rection,. This results in schedule ir­regularities and the necessity for “stacking up" of planes at airports. An American company now has a de­ vice which gives ten beams, five in each direction. A pilot knows at all times not only whether he is on his own beam or not, but also how far he is fi'oni his next stop. These lanes are unaffected by weather or wind condi­tions and can be flown equally wdl manually or automatically. Railroad Slane The brakeman entered the res­taurant and sat down at the counter for break-'ast. "What’li you have?” the girl asked. “Bring me two headlights, a strmg of flats, and one in the dark,” he ordered. While the girl was new on the job, she wasn’t to be kidded with railroad slang. She returned with a glass of water and a whistle."What’s this, what’s tliis?” the railroader sputtered. “That’s not what I ordered.” "J know it isn’t," the girJ answered cooly, “but I thought maybe you’d like to take on water and test you>- steam before you eat breakfast.” Matter of Opinion They were sitting <jeside each other on the hard bench of the rail­ way station, one reading his news­paper and the other rubbing his knees and emitting at frequent inter­ val* an exhausted “Phew!” “Wiiat’s wrong with you?” the reader asked.“Dunno; feel like I’m 60 years old tills morning.” “That’s too bad, isn’t it? Age is certainly an annoying thing.” “No, it ain’t,” the old one replied cheerfully, “because the truth is. I’m 85.” Emergency Case "Darling,” he said. I’vt seon the doctor and he tells me I have to give up smoking at once. One lung is in terrible shape, already.” She flinched. A look of agony came over her pale young facc "Oh, dearl” she cried. “Can’t you hold out a bit longer until we have enough coupons for the new radio?” SEBHON TOPIC “Brothers and sisters,” said the preacher, "the subject of my ser- moB today is ‘liars.’ But before I begin 1 have a question: ‘How many of you have read tbe 69tb chapter of Matthew?”Nearly every hand went np. “Yon are the people I am preaching to,” he replied. ‘‘There is no such chapter.” Party Manners The mother was briefing her young daughter, who was about to return a Uttle friend’s caU. “If they ask you to stay for dmner,” she m- structed, “say ‘No, thank you, I have dined’.” But at the visit, the friend’s father said, “Come along, my dear, and have a bite with us.” “No, tiiank you,” the little guest replied, “I already have bitten.” Look for Pre-Shnmk Label Wlien Buying Cotton Fabric Tliere wiU be less shrinkage m cot­ton garments if they are washed at home, rather than sent to the laun­dry, Home-style latmderlng has mild­ er action in the washing and spinning. Commercial laundering subjects fab­rics to a lot of mechanical action both in the washing and in the tumbler during drying, saysq Julie B. Brekke, KDAC extension service agent in elothlng. If a cotton fabric is gotag to shrink, the most shrinkage will occur during the first washing. The second and even the third launderings may cause a slight extra shrinkage, but. after that, the danger is usually over. It is difficult to predict shrinkage In a fabric without good fabric label­ ing. The amoimt of shrinkage varies In cotton materials, and It depends a good deal on the mamifactmers fin­ ishes, which exert considerable ten­ sion, When the fabric is wet, the ten­ sion is released and the fabric shrinks. Some of this shrinkage may be overcome in the pres^g after laundering by pushing the bron firm­ly In the direction of the shrinkage. As a final reminder. Miss Brekke says, "the best precaution to take against shrmkage in selecting a ready-made cotton dress is to look for a label marked ‘pre-shruhkV* “Uberated" Tams Sweet potatoes collected on Tinian island by a U.

Our County And Social Security By Mrs. Ruth G. Dufiy. Manager. W ith the Social Security set-up currently in the spotlight as a re­ sult of President Truman’s renew­ ed proposal that the law be amen- ed to extend benefits to some 20 million individuals in addition to those now covered, together with other changes, a review of the So­ cial Security plan in its present form is timely and should be < f interest. W e have a booklet explaining what Social Security means to the individual worker aud his family. I would like for you to write me for this booklet so that you may see exactly where you stand with regard to the plan’s benefits. The Old-Age and Survivors In ­ surance program is actually a con- tributarv insurance plan in which each workeijand his employer are partners. A t very low cost, it pro­ vides benefits (a) for the retire­ ment of a worker at the age of 65 or after, and (b) for the surviving family of that worker when he dies, no matter at what age. This insurance is a method ot providing, by thrift, against the hazards of old age and death. Be­ nefits under the program are not designed as full support of the worker in retirement or his family when he dies, but are intended to provide a minimum basic security to which the worker can add throughout his lifetime. It helps to keep the family together when its breadwinner dies. The booklet referred to above, and available for the asking, in­ cludes a complete explanation of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance benefits and schedules of benefits so that each worker can compute his own position with regard to the plan. There are two occas­ ions, it points out, when it is im ­ portant to get in touch with this office which is located in Room 437, in the Nissen Building, W in­ ston-Salem. These are: (1) W hen the wage eamer reaches the age of 65, whether he intends to retire or not, and (2) when the worker dies whether or not his family knows that his job was covered bv the program. There may be benefits in both instances. 1 willlbe in Mocksville again on Feb; 23, at the court house, second floor, at 12:30 noon, I w ill also be in Cooleemee on the same day at the Erwin cotton m ill company officeiat^ll a. m. THE DAVIK RECORD. MOCKSVTTJ.E. N, C. --------------WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSISLandlords Rebel Over Rent Cnrbs; Russians Set up Anti-ERP Program; Israel, Egypt Sign End to Fighting New Leader Li Tsing-Jen, China’s nationalist vice-president was holding the reins of organized government fol­lowing Generalissimo Chiang Kai- shek’s departure from Nanking to clear the way for a Commonist- directed peace. ■{^^^n*^lfe^paper Unioii's**'news not*neMssM ^°o t REBELLION: Among Landlords Chest out, muscles flexed, truc­ ulent of attitude, members of the American Property Owners asso­ciation in 20 cities threatened whole­ sale eviction of tenants in protest against rental control bills now in congress. AN OFFICIAL . of the organiza­ tion, composed chiefly of owners of small propertly, said in Tulsa, Okla., 600 to 1,000 eviction notices would be mailed to Tulsa tenants advising them to vacate within 60 days. Sim­ ilar action, he said, was expected in Chicago, Houston, Kansas City, Detroit, St. Louis, Fort Wayne,Grand Rapids, Danville, 111., and other cities. Tlie eviction notices affected rent- controled housing and included houses and apartments. Business units are not under rent control. SPEAR - HEADING the Tulsa movement was a retired Baptist minister, the Rev. Wallace J.Murphy, executive-secretary of the 200-member Tulsa property owners organization, and an honorary presi­ dent of the national association. The Rev. Murphy termed two rent control bills now before con­ gress “intolerable,” and said, “we refuse to operate so long as rental controls are on.” Owner of consider­ able property in Tulsa, the retired clergyman asserted, “we don’t in­ tend to serve under slavery which would take away the right to con­ trol our property. It is not enough that we must rent our property at a loss—now they want to fine us and put us in jail.” Landlords appeared mainly in­ censed because pending rent curb measures would be giving the fed­eral housing expediter right to con­ trol evictions, extend rent control periods, provide triple damages for overcharges on rent, and permit fines up to $5,000 and a year in jail for convicted violators. OBSERVERS WONDERED IF landlords weren’t letting their wrath becloud their judgment. For, under existing law, which doesn’t expire until late March, landlords are prohibited from doing exactly what the Rev. Murphy and his. asso­ ciates plan to do. The Tulsa incident was merely fuel to the flame of belief that if rent curbs are not maintained, the question of housing for those who cannot afford to buy homes would become even more difficult than it is at present. RUSSIANS: Coming to Taw? Messers Joe Stalin and the polit- buro, so long and so vocally derisive of everything the western world has or offers, were subconsciously pay­ing that world the sincerest form of flattery—imitation. The Russians had come forth with their own version of ERF, alpha­betical symbol of the Marshall plan for aid to Europe. AS THE EAST’§,. answer to the European recovery'plan, Russia had organized the economic council of mutual assistance for cooperation with five of her neighbors, Bul­garia, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and Romania. The purpose, as- outlined from Moscow, was “the exchange of ex­ perience in the, economic field, the rendering of technical assistance to each other, and the rendering of mutual assistance In regard to raw materials, foodstuffs, equipment, etc.” Russia, with her vast re­sources, obviously was to be the key nation in the council. The Kremlin held the door open to other nations. The announcement said, “other countries of Europe that share the priciples of the council and wish tc participate in broad economic cooperation with the aforetaentioned countries,” may join. THAT MOSCOV.' was cor.sidering t'le Marshall plan when its six-na­tion council was formed was evident in a Russian charge that the ERF interfered with the sovereignty of iiJitions, and that the U. S., Britain, and “certain other countries of western Europe” were boycotting the six nations in trade. The Russian action may prove to be the vital error in the Soviets’ program of expansion. If the system fails to function, it will serve only to spotlight the efficacy of the Marshall plan and the superiority of the western nations in equipment and ability to keep European com­ mitments. HURRY-UP MEASURE PEACE DOVE: Hovers in East Hovering wings of the dove of peace were becoming faintly audi­ble in the Holy Land dispute. Israel and Egypt signed a perma­nent cease-fire order and armistice talks were still going on after re­ cent difficulties. THERE WERE even more sig­ nificant developments looking to­ward final peace in the long contro­versy stemming from the partition of the Holy Land to make the area available as a place of settlement and nationalization of Jews. Great Britain had capitulated, and with the British lion on its side, the new nation of Israel had the two most powerful nations in the world committed to its support. Other nations were falling in line to recognize the Jewish state. In­ dications were that with the trend apparently fully in motion, Arab opponents to the Israeli state would soon be standing completely alone in their opposition. SHOXJLD THAT condition eventu­ate, Israeli seemingly would have nothing to fear, inasmuch as its armies already have proven a match for Arab forces. Bible students and others re­ligiously inclined would be quick to see in the developments the begin­ ning of fulfillment of the old proph­ecy that the Holy Land would one day be returned to the Jews, that they woimd one day become a na­tion again, with their own flag, their own land, their own govern, ment. SURPLUSES: Curbs Are Sought . Fearful of large surpluses of wheat and cotton, the government was studying moves to prevent this contingency. Secretary of Agriculture Charles Brannan outlined to a senate agri­ culture committee plans to hold down this year’s cotton and wheat crops. Brannon’s plan called for serving notice on wheat and cotton farmers that the 1949 crops they plant will 'not be considered part of their average production in figuring any future acreage allotments. This means growers could plant fewer acres without being penalized later by proportionate acreage curbs on their crops.Under present law, if acreage controls are renewed, the average acreage planted by a farmer in the five previous years is the amount he is entitled to pismt. Many officials felt that might in­ duce many farmers to plant as much as they can in order to have the maximum possible acreage when and if controls are clamped on. Brannan’s plan, assuring the far­ mer of no restrictive penalties through curtailment of acreage, was seen as a possible curb on any ex­cessive planting. About as large a winter wheat crop as possible already has been planted and a committee member declared cotton farmers are pre­ paring to plant an “extra large crop” to get benefit of present high support prices. Chairman Elmer Thomas (D., Okia.) of the committee which heard Brannan, said legislation to back up Brannon’s proposal would be offered in congress. Priority Ordered for Rent Curb Bill Speed was of the essence. Rent controls had to be safeguarded swiftly. So, into the senate hopper fell an administration bill calling for broader and tougher rent con­ trols for another two years. The bill, authorized by Senator Maybank, (D., S. C.) and, in the nouse by Representative Spence (D., Ky.) would continue controls through March 31, 1951, and would JACKSON DAY: Million Or More “Happy Harry” Truman 'had pulled himself up by his own boot­ straps, grasped the dark cloud of Democratic gloom and ripped it aside to disclose a satisfying silver lining.And now, party big-wigs and ad­ herents are smiling expansively in anticipation of hacking the million- dollar mark when the traditional $100-a-plate Jackson Day dinners are held in February. NOTHING SUCCEEDS like suc­cess, Truman might have reminded his followers—and because of his personal success, money, which was woefully lacking in Democratic party coffers before the election, is now expected to come rolling in.Normally, anywhere from $600,000 to $700,000 is raised for the party at the dinners, but this year the na­ tional committee thinks it can sur­pass that figure and come nearer the million-dollar mark. And they well may do it, for many people who wanted no part of Harry Truman during the campaign, and who kept their hands in their pockets, now are willing to give and give generously. However, careful planning is go­ ing into- this year’s Jackson Day dinner project. One such dinner wiU be held in every congressional dis­ trict of the larger states, and at least one dinner in each of the smaller ones. Plans already have been mapped to seat an all-time high record of 3,000 at the Washington dinner. “Of course there are still some lukewarm ‘Wednesday Demo­crats’, ” a committee said, "but the financial return this year should be terrific.” Politicians Settling Down To Practical Things Agoin By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. WASHINGTON. — With the migthy fanfare of the Democrats on inauguration day a fading memory and even the brave words of the Republicans on Lincoln Day less than a whisper out of the past, the practical politicians on both sides of the aisles in the house and senate are hard at their practical politicldng. \ The sudden re-entrance of Governor Dewey on the political scene was something that took many of his fellow Republicans by surprise. Nevertheless,, it would seem that many who don’t like him because he lost last November and others who didn’t like hiin enough to help him win last November, are willing to change their minds and really work for his election to the senate in 1950. They think he has a chance for tlie seat which Senator Wagner has held so long. Once again the nation’s attention would be called to the fact that diseases of the heart and blood ves­ sels are the leading cause of death in the United States. The occasion: The American Heart association’s 1949 national campaign. Hard to dramatize, be­cause its victims seldom die spec­ tacularly, heart disease is a major Doncern of those who deal with a people’s health. The malady is re­sponsible' for one of every three deaths in the nation each year. Rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease take a heavier toU from youngsters five to 19 than any other disease. Even in the years from 35 to 54, heart disease causes far greater mortality than the other leading kiUers, including cancer, accidents, - tuberculosis, pneumonia and nephritis. THE SIX LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH IN THE UNITED STATES DUWNG A REPRESENTATIVE y£A3 give the federal housing expediter powers he does not have now. These v/ould include authority to re-im- pose rent ceilings on previously- decontrolled areas and on other specified types of living quarters. Restored also would be right to control evictions, to sue for triple damages following overcharges, and to take criminal action against willful violators. ttam OF UKUi aiuxnti wmiitis >M(UI AKO■um The chart tells its own stoiy ahout the fatalities resnlting from heart diseases in the nation. The dates of the national cam­ paign of the American Heart asso­ciation are February 7 to 28. The Jates of National Heart Week are February 14 to 21.THE FUND-RAISING goal of the sampaign is five million dollars. Of this, three and one-half million dol­ lars will be used by local heart associations to maintain and expand iheir commvinity cardiac programs, rhe remainder wiU be used by the American Heart association for ex­ pansion of its national programs. The 1949 campaign slogan is apt and compelling. It is: “Open your heart—fight heart disease.” COAL SUPPLY: Everyone Relox The American male who must wrestle with the furnace, worry about keeping a fireplace full of fuel, concern himself with the pos­sibility of a heatless future could sit back and relax.There is enough coal under the surface of the United States to last a thousand years.After that, somebody else could worry.

Pointing out that half the world’s known coal reserve is possessed by the United States, he asserted many industrial leaders and technical ex­perts believe “that a large in­ dustrial development based on coal is in the making and that a con­ siderable expansion in coal produc­ tion is imminent.” PSYCHIATRISTS: Who's Next? Americans had something else to worry about besides prices and possible war. It seemed the nation’s 2hief need, despite any suppositions to the contrary, was more psy- ihiatrists. According to a subcommittee of the Hoover commission, nothing could be done about the nation’s de­ plorable mental health condition un­ til the present 4,500 psychiatrists were increased to 10,000. There is a tendency on the part of Democrats to shrug off this dis­tant possibility witii “Dewey can’t do that either!”To take on Senator Wagner in his prime would have been no small venture. But since the aging Sen­ator from New York has been ill for such a long period it is taken fo r granted that he will not run again in 1950. It is suggested that per­ haps his son, an up and coming young man in his ow n attempt to fill his BAUKBAGE fight, might father’s shoes. That is always good political practice, for more than one candidate with a former hero’s name, has been swept into of­ fice by voters who either didn’t know their idol had de­parted or else thought a candi­ date by any other name couldn’t smell as sweet. It was often declared that a number of old- timers had a vague feeling that FDR and TR were, if not the same, at least approximately the same person. Meanwhile the Republicans are rapidly solidfying their forces for a concentrated battle over the re­ peal of the Taft-Hartley bill, and the way the atmosphere feels at this writing. Republican senators are offering the nearest thing to a fiUibuster that can be offered with­out actually being labelled one. Senator Pepper called it that from the start. April is contract day for a good nany imions and the race is to get the Taft-Hartley act off the books before then. If the Republicans ;an keep on amending and arguing past that date, it wiU be a distinct, f only temporary, victory for them. It must have been quite a shock for the labor leaders to learn that the administration didn’t think that labor won the election. Labor did a tremendous job for Truman, put In a lot of hard, fast cooperative work, dovetailing their programs with the efforts of the regular par­ ty workers.But one Harry Truman did a lot of work, all by himself. When the A. F. of L. and CIO heads came iown to Washington early in January INAUGURAL COLOR FADES Back to practical politicking laying their demands on the line ■hey were somewhat annoyed to find a number of top Democrats polite, grateful and gracious, but also just a little coy.Newsmen outside one office door when an A. F. of L. delegation was waiting for members of Senator Thomas’ labor and public welfare committee, heard much desk- pounding and one voice was strong enough to penetrate the thick panel­ ling:“We went up and down the country ballyhooing for the re­ peal of the Tat^Hartley act. And that’s what we want now.” But the practical politicians in the house and the senate knew they were facing the fight of their lives. They knew they could count on some Republican support, but only If they sent down a bill which had something in it beside straight re­ peal. That is why the administra­ tion ordered a “one-package” meas­ure, one that contained certain positive provisions. The unions were willing to let the old Wagner act some back into force, but the administration knew that was the wrong approach since there was considerable popular sentiment against undoing all that had been done in th» way of scotching strikes Shake-Up Hits Probe Commiftee One of the interesting changes vifrought by the election was the re­ organization of the un-Ameiican activities committee. This strange child, born of a desire of one Demo­ cratic congressman to check Nazi and anti-Jewish activity in this country back in the days of Hitler had become a problem child tor the administration. The father of the idea (it was a New York congressman), saw his offspring kidnapped at birth. It was seized by Republican Hamilton Fish of New York and later by Rep. Martin Dies of Texas and brought up in quite a different man- mer from what was intended. The Democrats were pretty embarrased with the commitee before Dies was through with it, and when he decided to with­ draw from the Washington scene they tried to squelch it but failed. It had proved too good a headline-getter for its members. Then along came the Republicans in 1948 and grab­ bed it, making it one of the administration’s number one headaches. As soon as Democrats returned to power they saw to it that the com­ mittee, now an accepted institution, was cleaned up. By one twist and another, they managed to eliminate all of the old members but one, Representative Wood, who is chair­ man. Membership was limited to lawyers, which was logical enough, for its faults were those which no honest lawyer would condone, and it was reformed to recognize civil rights and to conform to some of th e fundamental principles ol justice and civil rights with which the original organization scorned to bother. Witnesses are now per­mitted to give their side of the case, be represented by counsel if they desire. Nothing has been done to hamper its effectiveness, and It should be able to render a real service from now on. As Bep. John McSweeney (D., Ohio) one of the new members, said: “The spy hunt should be carried to a logical conclusion, but I will not permit innocent men and women to have their names and charac­ters besmirched by unfounded and unsupported accusations.” The un-American activities com­ mittee, as it was run before it was cleaned up, was an institution which simply could not continue to exist in America. It used methods, which Americans wiU not tolerate, be­ cause if there is one thing an American demands, it is the right to be considered innocent until he is proved guilty. “Who steals my purse steals my trash. . . .. but he that filches my good name robs me of that which not enriches him and makes me poor indeed.” * • « Commies at Work In Ivied Halls One of the jobs which the com­ mittee under J. Parnell Thomas, was preparing to do was to investi­ gate communism in American col­ leges. That sent the universities and colleges into jitters for fear academic freedom would be throttled as other fredoms had been by the fanatical' members of the old group. However, there is no reason at all why a judicial investi­ gation of this particular subject shouldn’t be undertaken. Canada received a distinct shock recentiy from Dr. Watson Kirk- connell, president of Acadia uni­ versity. He made an analysis ol the report of the Labor Progressive Party university students confer­ence at Toronto last fall which was published by th e SATURDAY NIGHT, a weekly magazine pub­lished in Toronto. The report Is a 14,000 word document which presente the Communists’ own views on their position, in Canadian nniver- sities. It reveals, according to Dr. Kirkconnell, that there are militant Communist “nuclei” on the campuses at McGill, Toronto, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, and Vancouver, all under rigid party discipline. There are known to be a number of simUiar groups, doubtless work­ing with the same party techniques, in this country. In some places they are considerably weaker than they used to be. Small Grcos Wagon Will Please Children U E R E is a gift idea that appeals ^ to everyone. It’s a circus wagon plant holder that makes a delightful center piece for the table. Ivy and other small potted plants thrive in this gaily decorated circus wagon. If there is a child in the family, forget its use as a center piece and make several wagons to form a circus.

Ivor/ President Can Help JANUARY is a month when w« have come to thmk of inau^ra- ting Presidents and of raising money for children who cannot walk. In addition to children, news­ papermen became so long accus­tomed to a President who also could not walk, that they have been a little slow to realize that the Presi­ dent of the United States can now drop in on his friends on Capitol IliU without the least effort, and can amble in and out of the Capitol’s entrances as fast as anyone else when he takes the oath of office. For so many years it was neces­ sary to build long, slanting ramps up inclines in order to avoid steps for the President, that the people in Washington became quite accus­ tomed to it and took it for granted.And during aH the years Franklin Roosevelt was in office, the news­ papers, including those hostile to him, said almost nothing about his infirmity. Even in private conversa­ tion people did not talk too much about the fact that the President could not walk. They just felt sorry for him and didn’t mention it. Only on his birthday was his in­firmity brought home to the public, and then in order to help others stricken with his dread affliction. • * * An Idea for Truman Today this column recalls thess facts because as Franklin Roose­ velt’s birth again approaches, and as the span of years since his death increased, it is onlj' natOTal that the money-raising effort which he in­ spired should somewhat diminish. Therefore here is an idea which may help revitalize it—an idea by which one President can help the work started by another. Harry Truman not only can walk, but he can play the piano. And de­ spite the advice of his daughter to stick to his few favorite tunes, a lot of people think he plays rather wen. They enjoy hearing him. Only a very few of the American people, however, have had the pleasure of hearing him. He has played at the dinners of his Okla­ homa oil heiress friend, Mrs. Perle Mesta. He has played at the Press Club, and in the privacy of the White House. And while it might not be dignified for the President of the United States to play before a large audience, there could be nothing wrong with Harry Truman’s making two or three records for the Amer­ican people for the benefit of Roose­ velt’s infantile paralysis fund. For instance, if the President should make a phonograph record of his old favorites, “Missouri Waltz” and “Anchors Aweigh,” I predict they would sell in the millions. * * * ASCAP Offers Aid To test out the idea, I put it be­fore Fred Albert, head of ASCAP (American society of composers, authors and publishers). Albert has written a good many songs himself, including two which sold over two million—“I’U Get By,” and Bing Crosby’s theme song, “Where The Blue of The Night Meets The Gold of The Day.” So he can be consid­ ered something of an authority on music. Furthermore, as head of ASCAP he is something of an authority on the sale of records. Fred Albert’s reaction was imme­ diate. He volunteered to obtain a waiver of all royalty rights from the authors of Harry Truman’s fa­ vorites, and also oHered to pay a good share of the cost of making the records. The only reason he didn’t offer to pay all the cost was because he feared the sale would run into so many millions it would bankrupt ASCAP. Anyway, there is an idea—an idea hy which one President can help cure the affliction which struck another President. The records could be dedicated: “To a crippled President who helped a crippled nation—from Harry Truman.”« • • Inaugural-Go-Round Out-of-town detectives imported to augment the secret service 'were being paid $30 a day during the four- day inaugural. Five hundred of them, drifted from neighboring ' cities, wore a secret insignia to identify themselves to each other. . . . Ex-Sen. Curley Brooks of Illi­ nois, Republican, who arranged the money for the inaugural, couldn’t get more than two seats for himself. He thought he was making the preparations for the Republicans. Now he is defeated, and the Demo­ crats are spending the money. No wonder senators were calling the inauguration “Curley B r o ok s’ wake.” . . . Ten thousand Dewey buttons turned up in Washington, distributed by the Freedom Train. What happened was that the Amer­ ican Heritage Foundation was able to get salvaged Dewey buttons at bargain rates and covered them ever with freedom slogans . . . Oklahoma’s flying L quartet, which was bringing its babershop har­mony to the inaugural, had to sing without accompaniment. WINNER AND XEOPHT . . . Steve Wittman of Oskosh, Wis., poses with his trophy after he had won the Continental event in aU-American air maneuvers in Miami. IT’S ALL IN HOW TOU LOOK AT FT . . . Throagh a trick ot perspective and camera angle, this German V-2 rocket appears to dwarf the S55-foot Washington monument. The rocket, however, is only 55 feet high and is a part ot the armed forces exhibit on the monmnent gromds. The \-Z was powerful enongh to be one of the Nazis’ most effecttve weapons in the attacts on Great Britain. THE ACID TEST . . . While Califumia was shoveling snow, its citrus-growing and weather rival state ot Florida was, as the saying goes, “rubbing it in ." This time it was Nevada Smith, who poses with Florida sun- kissed oranges. SOME NOTES FOB THE RECORD . . . Grandchildren ot Tice-Fresident Alben W . Barkley of Kentucky add a few marginal notes to the Congres­ sional record. They are Alben W . Barkley, n , aged four, and his sister, Dorothy Anne Barkley, six. They are seated at the former senator’s desk in the upper chamber. DISLOTALTT SUSPECT . . . Samuel L. Wahraftig, AMG aid, is pictured in a telephone booth upon arrival in Boston. He was flown to the U. S. by military transport to answer disloyalty charges. SACRIFICE SUBJECT . . .Alma Bolster, of Bremerhaven, Ger­many, is the reason James Mc- Avoy, American seaman would renounce his citizenship so he might marry her. DENIES RUMOR . . . W. Aver- ell Harriman, U. S. Ambassador- at-large, denied upon arrival in U. S. that he planned to quit post because he was not chosen secretary of state. He declared he would remain in his post. ONLT THE BBATE PROTEST THE FARE . . . But In this instance li appears to be doing little good. A husky Bio de Janeiro, Brazil, cop is doing some vigorous necking here with Evandro Caxato, one of 24 stu­ dents of the National Union arrested In protest riots against a planned increase In Rio car fare. Three street cars were stoned and set on fire by the demonstrators, who, police said, were members of the young Communist league. All were released after questioning. INAUGURAIi PRESENT FOR PRESIDENT • . . President Harry S. Tnmian stands besides a clay model ot the bronze bust, by Washington sculptor Felix de Weldon, which was presented to the President during inauguration week. The presentation was made by the Democratic national committee. The bust carries an inscription written by Presi- flent Truman, taimseU. It reads: "Our goal must be not peace in our t;rne—but ueac* for SU time.” P h illip r THdSE INVENTIVE RUSSIANS Pravtia claims Russia flew an airplane 21 years before the Wright brothers’ Kitty Hawk flight. And Prof. V. Danilevsky teUs the Soviet Academy of Science that the Bus. sians invented the telephone, the electric light, the radio, the ship’s propeller and jet propulsion. That leaves us with nothing but the zip­ per and the wondshield wiper.* * * We took these claims up with Dr. Elmer Twitchell and he says they are correct. “It was Russia that gave the world the submarine, the telegraph instrimient, the mov­ing picture camera, gunpowder, the talking machine, the safety razor the electric ice-box and the first radio commercial, he de­ clared. “I thought everybody knew!” * * * “We owe the automobile to Mos­cow, too,” Elmer went on. “Henry Ford was really a Russian named Ivan Fliwercoffski. He got the idea of a low-cost car from Igor Model- teevich. Thomas Edison went to Rx^sia as a spy and stole the secret of the electric light, the phonograph and the movie camera from a fur tra<}er named Menlo Parkovich. Tom go into a meet­ ing of engineers where no Russian was eligible unless he had per­ fected an incandescent bulb and two types of movie cameras. He escaped discovery due to the fact he wore a red beard and woidd yield the floor to nobody.• • « “At that tim e every Volga boatman was experimenting with a talking machine. Edison stole the idea of the spaniel in the trademark called ‘His Mas­ter’s Voice.’ It was reaUy a Russian wolfhotmd.• • « Russia not only invented the telegraph but the first singing tele­ gram was sent by one Boris Kolo- noyopopoff of the Imperial Rus­ sian Opera. What we call the Morse code is Russian. The dots come from the old, old Russia and the dashes from the old, old, old, old Russia.« • • “As for the radio, Lenin’s grandfather had liis own net­ work, and one ot ihe early radio radio features was a fel­ low called Artlmromov God- freydovitch. They also bad a team called Amosoff and Andy- ozoff And EUa Fitzgerald says the Russians had the first jack­pot program. It was called ‘Stop the M ujjik’.”* • • Dr. Twitchell went on to say that his father remembered the time the Russians invented and flew the first airplane. “It was invented by one of the early Marxists and was propelled b? expletives. It had no wings. Marxists hated wings be­ cause of the suggestion,of religion. They just used a tail, a forked one,” he said.• • « “My old man said the Russians couldn’t get their first Russian plane off the ground at first, but that a couple of pre-Soviet OTiters did it with an editorial. The plane stayed up only a few minutes. It could have stayed up longer except that the inventor and operator wanted to get down and denounce somebody,” Elmer concluded.* * • WASHINGTON DIAGNOSIS The country is in splendid shapeGod is the Union’s state; Our system is a booming one— So let us operate!# No other system touches ours It’s busy, strong and fit — Hence it is quite apparent that There’s something wrong with it. * • * There was terrific irony in the last stage appearance of Willie Howard. It was only recently, in the tryout of a new musical. His big sketch was on the topic of hos­pital routines and he made his en­ trance on an operating table I No one dreamed that he was to die in one very soon. We saw the first performance of the new show, which was pretty terrible at that time, and were puzzled by Willie’s lack of form. There was a marked difference in his appearance, too, and for the first time in our experi­ ence wasn’t fimny. Little did anybody in the audience sense that Death was teaming up with him this time, a new and strange part­ ner after long years of merry go­ing.• • • The Pilgrims were a backward lot, They seemed to slave and drudge it; They fought the Indians withont a billion dollar budget. The early settlers were quite quaint — When Bedmen came full swing, They didn’t cry for guarantees Against that sort of thing.* « « The Tories are calling the Presi. dent Harry Delano Trusvelt.

Mrs. Doak, formerly secre­ tary to Governor Chas. B. Aycock* recalled having written Governor Aycock’s first statement relative to each child having the right to burgeon out all that is within him . Mrs. E. B. H untir showed that the 160,000 members of the North Carolina Association of Parents and Teachers was fully behind the program for schools. J.

Mr. Smith asked that there be re­ stored to the 1949-1951 budget an amount sufficient to provide 46 additional vocational agriculture teachers and 37 home economic teachers. Jonathan Daniels made a sped fie request for 118 attendance of­ ficers to assure North Carolina that not one child be allowed grow up as an illiterate. Harry B.

PRINCESS THEATRE $400M In Prizes To Be Given Away At Martin Brothers Store After The Show THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILI.E, N. C. START THE DAY WITH A GOOD BREAKFAST (See Recipes Below) BRIGHT BEGINNING ONE OF THE biggest services ^vhich any homemaker can give her fam ily is to feed them a good, sub­ stantial breakfast to get them off to work and school with proper spirit. This is the best way—at least to my knowledge—of preventing that mid- morning lag in energy as well as having th e m ind razor sharp whether you apply yourself at a school desk, sit in an office or work in the barn, fields or your own kitchen. A good breakfast' need not be elaborate to serve its purpose. Start off with a simple pattern including fruit, cereal and m ilk and you can be well fed. Naturally if you want more, there are any number of foods to be added. Too, there’s no need to feel that breakfasts can’t have variety. You can vary fruit and cereal daily, while eggs, breakfast meats and hot breads have infinite variety. 1/ mother w ill start fragrant odors in ibe kitchen when the fam ily is sch-iduled to hear the alarm clock, this w ill help keep them interested in completing the process and get them down to a good breakfast. * * • FOR THOSE of you who depend upon the oven to take the chill out of the house in the morning, here are some splendid, quick-to-mix hot breads for breakfast or any other meal: Honey Nut Bran Muffins (Jlakes 16 large muffins) Vi cup honey 1 cup flour?4 teaspoon soda 'A teaspoon salt Vi teaspoon baking powder 2 cups bran 1 tablespoon melted butter VA cups m ilk 'Tl cup walnuts, chopped fine Sift together flour, soda, salt and baking powder. Mix with bran and add other ingredients. Place in greased muffin pans and bake in a quick (425° F .) oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Raisin Bran Muffins (Makes 6 Muffins) ‘A cap sifted flour VA teaspoons double-acting bak­ing powder Vi teaspoon salt 1-2 tablespoons sugar 1 egg, well beaten Vi cup m ilk VA tablespoons melted shorten­ing H cup raisin bran Sift flour once, measure, add bak­ ing powder, salt and sugar; sift again. Combine egg and m ilk and add to flour mixture. Add shorten­ ing, then mix only enough to damp­en flour. Fold in raisin bran. Turn into greased m uffin pans, filling them 2/3 full. Bake in a hot (425° F .) oven 25 minutes. Flake Gems (Makes 12 muffins) 1 cup sifted flour 4 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 eggVn cup m ilk4 tablespoons melted fat 2 cups com flakes or wheat flakes LTNN CHAMBERS’ M ENV BREAKFAST Orange Juice Cooked farina with raisins ♦Honey Kuchen Butter Beverage •Recipe Given Sift together flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Beat egg until light, add m ilk then stir in dry ingre­ dients, being careful not to overmix. Add slightly cooled fat and stir just enough to m ix ingredients. Care­fully fold in corn flakes. F ill greased m uffin pans, 2 inches in diameter, 2/3 fuU. Bake in a moder­ately hot (400° F .) oven about 20 to 25 minutes. Honey Kuchen (Makes 1 square) Topping: M cup brown sugar Vi teaspoon cinnamon M teaspoon nutmeg Z tablespoons butter Vi cup bran or wheat flake* Kuchen: cup sifted flour ZVi teaspoons baking powder H teaspoon salt Vi cup m ilk l i cup honey 1 egg 3 tablespoons melted fat VA cups bran or wheat flakes Sift together flour, baking pow­ der, salt.

Bake in a moderately hot (400° F .) oven 25 minutes.« • • ANOTHER WAY to include cereal in the menu is to cook, chill and fry it. This m ay be served with fruit or breakfast m eat or with syrup. It’s a hearty, tasty dish. Fried Wheat-Meal (Serves 6) a teaspoon salt 2M cups boiling water M cup wheat m eal Add salt to boiling water in the saucepan. Add cereal slowly, stir­ring constantly. Bring to a boil and cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour into cold, wet mold. Let stand overnight, or until cold and firm . Turn from pan. Slice into 3/8-inch slices, and saute in a sm all amount of fat, turning to brown both sides. Serve with maple-flavored syrup. (Leftover cooked wheat-meal may be used in this way.) Fried Wheat-Meal w ith F ruit: Add % cup seedless raisins, chopped dates or chopped figs to the cooked cereal before turning into mold. Fried Wheat-Meal w ith Apples: Add % cup apples, peeled and cut in %-inch pieces to cooked wheat- meal before turning into mold.Either of the above are excellent when served with sausages, p tfr pared this way; lay pork patties or links in a cold frying pan and fry slowly for 12-15 minutes, , turning occasionally with 2 forks or a spa­ tula, being careful not to puncture the casing. Four off fat as it ac­ cumulates. Serve the fa t for sea­soning vegetables, frying eggs, potatoes, French toast or for m a t­ ing sauces of gravies.Released by WNU Features. LYNN SAYS:Add Variety To BreakfastOrange toast is a delightful varia­ tion to serve for breakfast. To make it, toast and butter bread, then spread with a mixture of sugar and grated orange rind wliich has been moistened with orange juice. Flaked cereals are delicious if heated in a shallow pan, dotted with butter and sprinkled with brown sugar. Heat in a moderate oven for just a few minutes and serve at once. Money For Love By LO m S CUNNINGHAM “ f ^ IR L reporters are the bunk,” growled H arrim an, the crime expert, in the news-room of the Comet. The pulsing presses that shook the building getting out the last edition brought the toilers under the eye-shades a pleasurable sense of rest after hard work weU done.

Dale had knoira H arrim an long enough to be in proper awe of the great m an. But Dale had known Alicia Delaao long enough to be in love with her. Further discussion of A licia was postponed by the turbulent entry of the city editor, Brickley. His de­ risive eye swept the crowd. “W ell, m y merry morons.” he jeered. “ Ex­ tend your cobwebbed ears to this: The Prince Bartholdi, a wealthy Rom an, has arrived in this city of sin. He is seeking his daughter, a runaway princess. Seems the lady objected to her father’s idea of a husband. The old boy offers the modest sum of fifty thousand to the one who finds his little M ariana. We’re going to get her for the greater glory of the Comet. It’s a general alarm . Here’s a picture of the.renegade.” “W hat do you think of it, A licia?” asked Dale, discovering his lovely neighbor and quickly telling her what it was all about. "Viity thousand dollars/” he sighed, "Just imagine, Alicia, what one could do with that. Why . . Later, when he had her alone in the secluded comer of their favorite restaurant, he took a deep breath. “I ’m going after that money,” he declared determinedly. " I need it, and if . . . if I get it . . . Alicia, darling, have I ever told you that I love you? If I get the money w ill you . . . m arry m e?” 'T 'H E girl smiled and raised her head.

Dale,” said A licia, solemnly. tree behind her 'dance a m adrigal before Dale’s dreaming eyes. “I love you, Dale,” said Alicia solemnly. “I m arry you.” Then she twinkled. “Let’s do it right away.” Dale and A licia were m arried that week and their radiant young faces in the newsroom advertised their happiness. The m arriage, however, they kept secret, although they managed to find a sm all apartment, to be furnished with their joint savings. But how to keep it was a puzzle, unless Dale dis­covered the princess. “It seems a hopeless task, A licia,” lamented DSle. “Every­body’s giving up. This Princess M ariana is the best little hider im aginable.” She pulled bis ear teasingly, "Don’t worry. Things w ill look different in the morning.” A licia was a prophetess. Dale awoke to find a strange girl sitting at the foot of the bed. The morning sunlight was no more golden than her hair. Her eyes danced with mischief. “W hat . . . what , . .

SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS nncedi Farm Outlook Bright For Coming 5 Years Federal Economists Show Optimism in Forecasts In spite of some recent declines in farm prices, agricultural econ­omists of the U. S. departm ent of agriculture took an optim istic point of view at their recent outlook con­ference in Washington, D. C. In the past, these economists have confined their estimates of the out­ look, to the coming 12 months. This tim e they tried to look five years ahead. And, they decided that things look fairly good for the farm ­ er for that long.Of course, they made two basis assumptions that'som e people still are' a little doubtful about—that a stable peace w ill be established ^nd that there w ill be no serious 3e- PURCHASING POWER _ _ _ _ _ _ Jiii -------tut lltilt w)i : f--- |m»ms . . America’s economic boom con­tinues as buying power outpaces prices. pression. If tim e should prove them wrong about one of the two, the effect m ay be drastic. And they hasten to point out that these are assumption, not predictions.They then go on to point out that the population w ill increase be­tween one and two mUlion persons a year until 1952; that industrial output per worker w ill increase, and that yields per acre and per livestock unit probably also w ill increase. High incomes for industrial work­ers w ill m ean a steady m arket for foodstuffs and clothing. H igh yield per worker m ight m ean more stable prices for industrial goods. Higher yields per acre and per an- nim al im it w ill m ean more economi­cal production for the farm er. AU in aU, this shapes up to just about ih e kind of five-year period that the farm ers themselves would like to enjoy. High production at fair prices means a break for pro­ducers and consumers — a square deal for both. In a drive to stam p out aftosa (foot and month disease) from Mexico in two years, a joint 17. S.> Mexico commission has under­taken the job of vaccinating from eight to 10 m illion cattle in tho affected area by the end of 1949.Trained teams go ahead of the nine teams of vaccinators to preach the benefits of vaccinatioii and convince the sometimes ig­norant cattle owners that vaccina­tion is the only alternative to disaster.By the end of 1919 the program w ill have cost approzim atftly 50 m illion dollars. It includes five points: constant inspection, dis­ infection, eradication, vaccina­ tion and quarantine. The vaccination process itself is sim ple. A needle of the vaccine is shot into the anim al and that*s a ll there is to it. It w ill take from eight to 10 m illion shots to com­ plete the job. The vaccine pro­tects for six months.

If breakfast-in- bedders have spilled coffee or chocolate, the spots w ill usually wash out in hot sudsy water. To remove fruit stains, pour boiling water through the stain. If it is stubborn, bleach w ith hydrogen peroxide or Javelle water.- To remove iron rust, apply a solu­tion of oxalic acid and rinse thoroughly.— • — It is not necessary to iron Turk­ ish towels.

Rochester 9, New ¥ork. r SUS BELIEVED in prayer, but he did not usually spend a ll night at it. When he did, we may be sure he had something of the greatest im- portance on his m ind. One of these occasion^ was the night before he sel­ ected the twelve men he called Apostles. He had thousands of disciples, crowds fol­ lowed him wherever he went. But it was im portant to have a few with whom he Dr. Foreman could live as an in­tim ate friend. So from the im ­ mense number of followers, Jesus selected twelve closest friends. Be­fore that fateful morning no one outside their villages had ever heard of them. But now their names are known—and eleven of them are hon­ored—around the world.. « Jesus Multiplies HimselfA GOOD executive, Jesus m ulti­ plied his own personality, A re­ cent book has shown how Harry Hopkins during World W ar I I lived in the White House as Roosevelt’s personal companion, having given up his own ambitions and living only to carry out the ideas of his chief. W ithout Roosevelt, Hopkins would have been little more than an inferior politician; and without Hopkins, many of Roosevelt’s plans could not have been carried out. He enabled the president to be in two places at once. So it was with Jesus, as Mark tells us. Jesus wanted those twelve to be with him , and then to send them out. He wanted these friends to know him as the crowds, and his enemies, never could know him . Be wanted these men to absorb his ideas and Ideals. By continual contact, day by day and month by month, they wotdd inevitably become more like him . Because of that, he could (and later did) send them out to do his work in places he could not reach. The word Jesus used for them was not his own invention; “apostle” was the word used a ll over the civilized world in those days for an ambas­sador, a personal representative of royalty. A ll Christians are in the "apostolic succession.” If a Christ­ian can truly say, “I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me,” then he is, as these men were, Christ’s per­ sonal representative.. . . Raw M aterial ■PHE ASTONISHING thing about ^ Jesus’ choice of these twelve is his faith in them . Of course they had faith in him—who would not? But who would have faith in them? There was not a single “outstand­ ing” m an in the lot. Not one had what we would caU a college edu­cation, not a m an of them had held public office or was rich or famous for anything at alL The officers of any modern church m ight shake their heads over them.There was Peter, an ordinary fisherman, much given to profan­ity; there was Matthew, a crooked business m an if ever there was one, for no publican could be honest and keep from starving; there was Philip, as stupid a m an as ever asked a foolish question; there were Jam es and John, loud-mouthed (Jesus nicknamed them the Thun- d e r Boys—“Sons of Thunder” ), greedy fellows who could not be satisfied till they had elbowed their way ahead of everybody else; tiiere was Thomas the bom pessimist, tbe defeatist . . . W hat could have got into Jesus’ m ind to select such men? * • * —And Jadas Iscariot ■PHE SECRET of Jesus’ choice was * this: He selected his men not for what they were or had been, but for what they could become, filled with his spirit, transformed by his friendship. It is so today, as always. The Kingdom of God needs men and women, but the raw hum an mate­rial found in or out of the churches is too shabby and weak to build anything like the kingdom of God. “Twelve Im m ortals”—? Nay, but one is the im m ortal betrayer and suicide. Why? The reason was in Judas, not in Jesus. The trnth is that Christ uriU not force him self on any one, not even on an Apostle. C M st needs men, now, as he needed men then, to carry on his work in this world. But he wants volunteers, never forced labor. The Christ of Glory can be served by the humble; but the free Christ can be served only by free men with open hearts. Judas m ay keep his heart shut if he w ill; Christ never forces his way in.

BENSON P ttsiitm —M tirdliif CiUejc Starc). JrlaHsas Labor Statesmanship One branch of America’s organ­ ized labor, the Congress of Indus­trial Organizations, has made a move that puts it in the same class with great statesmen. You m ight not expect these large ^oups, or­ ganized for wage bargaining with industry, to enter the field of inter­ national relations. Yet the CIO, meeting recently in its yearly con­ vention, did much to strengthen the hand of our government for the growing struggle in Europe. When Phil Murray raged forth against the Communists who had managed to get in under the CIO banner, he was not simply deliver­ ing a private opinion. Mr. Murray, himseU a stalwart statesman with­ in labor’s councils, knew he was speaking with labor’s whole voice. His strong condemnation of Com- .munist infiltration in American la­bor brouglit cheers and amens from almost all the nation’s wage earn­ ers.Against the Enemy Said Mr. Murray: “I’m not going to protect sm all cliques of men whose interests are promoted and propagated by the Daily Worker and the Communist party.” As if in answer, the CIO gave its leaders the power to clean out those few leftists who give “slavish adher­ ence” to Communist dictates.For years. Communist Russia has worked for undercover power in all countries. Also, it has been the Russian policy to stir up trouble be­tween la b o r and management, wherever and whenever this could te done. Along with this, the drums of propaganda pound out the com­m and to “revolt.” There are aroused strong class feelings and hates that cloud up the issues. No­body, then, is able to think things oiit around the conference table. Organized labor is dead, whenever Communism gets hold. Not Russia’s Tool The CIO has delivered an ulti­m atum to Russia. The CIO has let it be Icnown that America is doing all right without any "dictatorship of the proletariat.” It has served notice that American labor w ill not perm it itself to be used as a tool to accomplish Russian conquest of the world. It has said to the Commu­ nist, p a r^ : You can’t camp here while waiting tor the revolution and turm oil that you hope will give you a chance to take over! My thanks to M r. Murray and the CIO convention! All of us know that Communism can bring nothing but ill to this troubled world, that so much needs peace. We know that our own American way is al­ ready delivering the goods to an extent that puts to shame all the Commiuiistic promises, false as they are. When you think of it, it is amazing that any American would be a part in any scheme or plot to force upon us a way of life that adds up to nothing but slavery. No Fooling Labor I have confidence that the Amer­ican people w ill not be fooled by anything the Communist propagan­da m ill can turn out. When we rec­ ognize the fruits of American enter­prise that we enjoy, amidst aU the freedoms and liberties that are ours daily, a man would seem like an utter fool to think of changing our system for something else. I am thankfiil that our labor unions are awake to their responsibilities along these lines. They must keep eternal watch! Have you heard Dr. Benson and the radio drama “Land of the Free**?

By getting to the top of a mountain a mile or more high, we leave beneath us fully half of tlie dirt of the atmos­ phere. Even then, hov.-ever. there is turbulence in that occ^'n of air that stretches above us, and objects view­ed through telescopes dance and squirm and refuse to stay sharply focused. The larger the telescope, the wider a beam of air through which the light must come, so the more dir.- turbance. In general, a moderate telescope gives a better view of a planet than a very large telescope does. LOOKINGAKMAD GEORGE S. BENSON PtaidtHl—M atilH j CcUege Searcg.

Early Days of Red Cross Red Cross societies of San Fran­cisco, Berkeley, Oa!:land, and several other California cities sprang Into ex­ istence in the early days of the Span- ish-American war to serve troops of the California national guard, known aa the First California Volunteers, who had been ordered to Manila. The effect of the surrender of the Spanish army at Santiago, Cuba, less than three months after the declaration of war, was to cause the theater of war to be transferred speedily from -ae Caribbean to the Philippines. Troops for this campaign, which was to last three years, came from all parts of the country and were mobilized In San Francisco. This mobilization de- vdoped the need of a broad, active Red Cross program. Doing Things Together “The American success is the story of large numbers of people doing something together. When an enterprise prospers, everybody con­ nected with it prospers, and the success legend must be divided among them.” The statement was made by Mr. Crawford Greenewalt. president of the Du Pont Company, who believes that America's unique position was achieved “not because we have more coal or more gold or more land, but because we have more incentive, more venture, more determination.” Now, when the re.>!t of us get out and talk that way. I believe that we will begin to see the greatness of America. No Mere Accident ff management thinking at Du Pont is any key to the attitudes generally held in industry, 1 think we may all be encouraged to ex­ pect ^e ate r and greater thing.s as America goes ahead year after year. Indeed, “the greatest good to the greatest ni;’; !:er of people” is a description tii:,t just Sts Amer­ica. But it is no accident. It in­ cludes the ways wre cooperate, capi­tal with labor and labor with capital —until actually there are no dif­ ferences.Better Than Average When you consider that persons willing to deny themselves put up their savings to the tune of $13,500 for each worker at Du Pont, you see how the stockholders cooperated. That makes a good solid invest­ ment behind the average Du Pont worker. It’s higher than average. Proper and wise use of tools and human energy enabled this average worker to collect $10,600 for Ms part of production. That’s higher than average. Out of this $10,600 had to come costs of producing the goods. About 42 per cent, or $4,410, went for raw materials, power, and other neces­ sary expense. This average work­ er him seii was psid $3,330. The gov­ ernment tax bill was $1,0.30. There was put aside $730 to replace and modernize tools that wore out. All these costs cam.'^ to $9,500, whicli taken from $10,600 leaves a profit of $1,100. On an irivestment of $13,- 500 that’s about 8 per cent. Tl^at’s not bad either. What Makes America? However, stock.holders were asked to leave $280 of this profit in the business, malung $13,780 for this average worker to use the follow­ ing year; Stockholders were then paid $820 in dividends, or about a 6 per cent return on their money. This is the way that Du Font’s an­nual report read.=, ^n terms of each worker. It represents wonderful co­ ordination of the worker-manage- ment team. When you duplicate this many times, with big and little busi­ness, you’ve got what makes Amer­ica. The measure of America, then, is how well ail of us cooperate. We’ve done a wonderful job in the past, despite misunderstandings here and there. This system, that permits us to use all our talents and all our resources, is sometimes called “free competitive enter­prise.” But it is also a wonderful adventure in cooperation. More than any other land today, more than can be found of any nation in his­tory—we have succeeded in liring- ing “the greatest good to the great­est number of people.” Rave you heard Dr. Benson and the tadlo drama “Land of the Free”?

Even the Iron Curtain has not been able to hold behind its barriers &e ideas and thoughts of men. We have come to understand what the Russian Communists think by watching the actions of their American comrades. Every­ body knows that the Communist party in this country watches Mos­ cow closely. We can believe that Moscow keeps them in line, too. Everybody knows also that the Communist party in the United States is not very powerful. In terms of what it can do legally as a party, the average American gives it very little attention. However, what the party would do if it thought it could get away with it— that is another thing In this re­ spect, home-grown Communist opinion is very enlightening.Outside the Law Recently, W illiam Z. Foster, top man for the Communists in Amer­ica, told the Senate his party would not support the nation in event of war with Russia. He was testifying before the Judiciary Committee oh the Mundt-Nixon bill, which would put strict controls on Communists. Foster defiantly told the commit­ tee that if the bill should become law the party would not register with the Department of Justice as required.Foster shouted that Russia would never attack the United States. His reason: Russia i^ not an im perial­istic nation. At the same tim e, he said that America has embarked upon an im perialistic program, the greatest in history. (Im perialism means the practice of seeking con­trol or dominion over other lands and peoples.) Way the American Communists have the situation sized up bears no kinship to the plain truth in international affairs Wbo’s Imperialistic? Any school boy knows that America has no ambitions for the coiJtrol and domination of other countries. On the other hand, what Russia is doing in eastern Europe looks like the most obvious kind of “taking over.” It is this same W il­liam Z. Foster who once wrote that the Communist party would take over the United States government and. liquidate the free enterprise system, along with the Republican and Democratic parties and nur re­ ligious institutions.The rankest kind of im perialism known today may be seen in the Communist Internationale, to which all world Communists are respon­sible. This world organization exists for the purpose of. satisfying th" im perialistic ambitions of Russia’s political rulers. It uses Com-.nunists wherever they are. It plots the overthrow of other governments ty force. It incites revolutions wher­ever Commimists stand to gain. Watch Tbeir Tactics Communists w ill continue to do everything possible, by whatever methods, to hamper domestic peace and prosperity. They seek to set worker against employer, to create costly strikes and walkouts that cost the American public and work­ers billions of dollars. The Communists did these things during, the recent war. No good may be expected from them, either in time of war or peace. As good American citizens we must study 'their tactics, so that when we see the fruits of Communistic skuldug­ gery we can identify the tree from whence it came. As Commimist tactics and ideas are made clear, every one of us win have more ap­preciation for our own way of life. S trk e d T om ct es E h h 'r I q V ita m in 0 , ’est Shew s Whetlier to stai.e and prune toma­ to vines or to let them sprawl on the ground has long b «n a subject of ar­ gument among girdeneris. Those in favor of stalling, or otiierwise sup­porting the vines, point out that It saves space in the- garden, keeps the fruit clean, protects it from rot from the soil, and makes for easier har­ vesting. Those opposed argue against the time and labor required. A new reason for staking now comes from the Main experiment sta­tion as a result of recent studies on vitamin C in tomatoes. The studies show that tomatoes from vines which have been staked and pruned are richer tn vitamin C because they get more sunshine during ripening. This Is important to the many families who rely on tomatoes, fresh and home- canned, ,as the pmcipal source of vitamin C In the diet. Previous studies have shown that by far the greatest influence on the vitamin C content of any variety of tomatoes is the .amount of stmlight they receive before harvesting. Al­though the- gardener cannot control the weather, he oan plant tomatoes in a sunny location, train them to stakes or other supports, and trim them so that they are not shaded and are ex­posed to as much sunshine as possi­ ble.

Big busi ness has its friends. Litde busi ness has its friends and there are lobbies actively looking after the Interests of almost everybody and everything except the little fellow who hasn’t any lobby. Ationt the only time he hears from the gov­ ernment is when he gets a lax bill.” So the Florida Congressman is drafting a reso'uti^n to have the Hon^e cteate a special committte to study the problems of the littte fellow.

Practice Makes Perfect T ira E N the westbound train stop. W ped for a few minutes in a Nevada town, a traveler from the east got off to exercise by walking ;0n the station platform. He had stopped to talk to an elderly citi­ zen of the town when, presenting a rather striking picture, a shapely young brunette galloped by on a palomino horse. "Some class to your local gals," said the admiring traveler. "She ain't a native,” was the re­ply. “She's an easterner heiress that’s out here for a second time gettin, a divorce.” "But she rides, a horse so well. . "She learned to ride on her first trip out here,” the westerner ex­ plained. "Now she’s learin, to rope. Yes. sir, if she don't lose her fig- ger or her fortune like she keeps imagin’ she’ losin’ her heart, looks like she’ll be one ol the best danged rodeo performers in the country.” RECKLESS DRIVER Judge: You're a menace to ped­ estrians. No more driving for two years.” Defendant: “But, Your Honor, my living depends on it.” Judge: “^ ite true, but so does theirs.” A BOOMERANGAn efficiency expert went in to see the boss about his vaca­tion. He came out with a hang­dog expression on his face. Asked what was wrong, he re- pHed: “I only got one week. The boss says I’m so efficient I can have as mach tun in one week as other people have in two.” Poor Service Alter several hours’ fishing, Patty suddenly threw her fishing pole into the bottom of the boat and ex­ claimed, “I quit!” "Why, Patty, what’s the matter?” asked her mother "Well, Mother.” she answered, “I just can’t seem to get waited on.” A HELPING HAND The 98-pound joc-kej n:arried a woman at least twice his weight. After the ceremony, he asked some of the guests to drop over to his flat. The best man looked doubtful. "Thanks, Sammy,” he said, “but, after all, it’s kind of late. Maybe your wife wouldn’t approve of com­ pany at this hour.”The jockey shrugged. "Oh, I don’t expect you chaps to stay long,” he explained. “All I want is for you to help me carry the bride over the threshold." Self-Made Man A politician said tb Horace Gree­ ley one day: “I am a self-made man.”"That, sir,” replied Greeley, “relieves the Almighty of a ter­rible responsibility.” Formula for Mi.sfortune A BEGGAR clutched at the coat of a benevolent-looking pas­ser-by. "Five cents, sir, for a cup of cof­ fee," he whined. The other turned to him."Why should I give you five cents?” he asked. “What brought you to this terrible plight?”“A terrible catastrophe, sir,” the beggar replied. "Two years ago, like you, I enjoyed business pros­perity. I worked hard. On the wall above my desk was the motto: ‘Think Constructively! Act Decis­ively!’ Wealth poured my way. And then. . . one night, , .”■‘Yes, yes?” The beggar's frame shook convul­sively. "The janitor burned my motto." Modest Boys Young mother, to neighbor: “My son always has his shirt-tails flap­ ping, and your four sons always dress so neatly with their shirts neatly tucked in. How do you man­age it?” Neighbor; “Oh. it’s really very simple.

On the morning of the event, one of them called to ask her to go along. “It’s too late," she snapped, “I've already prayed for rain,” •TAINT SO A r2';ent fi an insane asylum was trying to rnnvinee an attend­ ant that he was Napoleon. “Bui who told you that you were Napoleon?” inquired the at­tendant, “God did,” replied the mmate. “I did not!” rame a voice from the next bunk. Peace of Mind Doctor—“This is a sad case, very sad, indeed I much regret to tell you that your wife's mind is gone —completely gone.” Husband—“I’m not a bit sur­ prised.

One was produced, and Mary was about to close the bargain when Donald tapped her shoulder.“Mary,” he whispered, “let’s have a boy.

The old hobo asked, “Going east, son?” “Yes,” replied the younger. “Don’t do it,” the old one cau­ tioned. “Why not?” “Twon’t do any good for me to tell you why not. Just take the advice of an older man and don’t do it. You wouldn’t believe me if I told you. Even when you see it you won’t believe it.” “Won’t believe what?’' asked the mystified young tramp, “You’ll see folks running — to work.” 300-Foot Microwave Tower To Help Probe Unknown Electronic engineers and scientists ate probing deeper into the unknown “microwave realm"—frontier of a vast new field of future radio devel­opments. To carry on the complex research required to study the micro-wave area and to develop new communi­ cations uses for them, Federal Tele­ communication laboratories, research unit of the world-wide I. T. & T., has erected a 300-foot "microwave tow­er", a shining, aluminum-sheathed spire that pokes, like an Inquisitive finger, into the sky above suburban Nutley, N. J. Ths tower is designed to replace a long series of ancestors, some of which still exist At a demonstration of the part to be placed by the new tower in micro­wave research, it was pointed out that towers have been associated «^th communication and communica­tion research for centuries. More than 1,000 years before Cihrist the fall of Troy was announced to the Grecian royal palace by means of beacon fires used as signals, from Ida to Lemnos, from there to Athos, the Mount of Jove, to the Watch Towers of Macis- tus, and finally to the roof of the Atreidae. b medieval days, beseiged citie!: numipulated a series of five flaminr torches on five towers in spelling out alphabetical letters to communicatc with allies outside the dty walls; $537 Million as Dividends Paid to Insured Americans Dividends paid to American policy­ holders by the life insurance compan­ies operating in this country totallec! *537,000,000 in 1947, the Institute of Life Insurance reports. Total dividends left with their com­ panies by policyholders, to accumu­late at hiterest, for the first time topped $1,000,000,000 at year-end. "Policy dividends in 1947 were $35,- 000,000 greater than in 1946, an in­crease of 7 per cent," the institute said. ‘•This Increase reflected the greater volume of life insurance own­ ed and the greater age of the bulk of the policies rather than liigher divi­dend scales. "Actually, the 1947 dividend scales, where they differed from those of 1946, generally reflected lower rates of refund, due to continued declines In earning rates. Earning rates, mortality experience and operating expenses are the three major factors which determine the dividends to be paid year by year. Dividends paid to policyholders are not dividends in the usual sense, but refimds on premiums paid for par­ticipating policies.’' During the year. $221,600,000 of the policy dividends coming due to policyholders were used to pay policy premimns. This was the most exten­sive use, accounting for 41.3 per cent of total dividends. Keep Eggs Covered for Quality As soon as eggs are purchased store them in the refrigerator or some other cold place, and keep them there until they are used. Experi­ ments show that at ordinary room temperature eggs lose as much fresh­ness in three days as they do in the refrigerator in two weeks. Keep eggs covered for two reasons: (1) To keep them from losing moisture through the porous shell, and (2) to protect them from taking on odors or "off flavors.’* Instead of keeping eggs in a cardboard carton or in an open bowl in the refrigerator, put them in a covered dish or in one of the closed containers used for vegetables. Re­member to keep eggs far enough away from the ice container of the freezing imlt so they do not freeze. Also, do not wash eggs until just be­fore they are used. The dull "bloom’' on the shells is a protective film which helps to prevent bacteria and odors from entering the pores of the shell. To the Colors SaluUng the flag when it is raised, lowered or passing in parade is a formal ritual which everyone Should observe. An alien in the United States stands at respectful attention.

A man in onlform presents the military right- hand salute. Seen Along Main Street By Th^ Street Rflfnhler. 000000 Mrs. I. C.

Our County And Sodal Security By Mrs. Ruth G.Duffy, M anager D id you know that there are 400,000 new widows in the United States every vear? Are you a wid- 1?? Are you 65? You may be one of those widows who have lost or are losing Social Security Benefits. I am going to tell you about benefits for aged widows — one group protected under OJd- Age and Survivors Insurance if certain requirements are met. I believe the best wav to do this is by telling of an actual case. The other day an aged widow, we’ll call her Mrs. Morgan, called at my office to see if she might be entitled to receive benefits. A friend of hers is receiving pay­ ments and this friend suggested that she come. Mr. Morgan, she told me, had worked for many years as a clerk in a clothing store. His work was covered employ­ ment. He was insured but died before he filed for any benefits under the old age and survivors insurance program. I told Mrs. Morgan if she met certain require ments, she could get a monthly payment. W hat requirements did Mrs. Morgan have? W ell, Mrs. Morgan is 65 years old; she has not remarried since her husband’s death; and she was living with Mr. Morgan at the time of his death. But this is not all. She filed an application for the benefits, which is very import­ ant, Why? Because payments never begin until an application has been filed and approved. Many persons think that benefits are just paid—that is, they think that they will begin receiving payments immediately after the death of an insured wage earner. We have no way of knowing of the wage earn­ er’s death unless some one makes an inquiry. Payments are made for only three months before the month of fi mg the application. To illustrate this fact, Mr. Morgan died in November, 1948. Mrs. Morgan filed her application this month—February. 1949. Since payments go back three months, Mrs. Morgan will receive payments beginning with the month of No­ vember, 1948. But suppose she had waited to file her claim in March. She would have lost pay­ ment for November, 1948. Mrs. Morgan will receive monthly pay­ ments for the rest of her life un­ less she remarries. If she does her payment will stop.

U. N. Facilities Offered if Truman, Stalin Meet The United Nations stands ready to aidvin any way it can in any East-West talks, accord­ing to a statement by Trygve Lie, secretary-general of the organization.Lie declared he would be “most happy” to have TJ. N . facilities used for a conference between Josef Stalin and Presi­dent Truman if the two leaders were to suggest it. Beyond that he would not go in commenting on the inter­view in which Stalin said he would be glad to confer directly with President Truman on a possible Soviet-American peace pact. He added that the U. N. has several facilities wliich m ight be used advantageously in the event of such a conference. SOVIET “ BARKIS” . . . tik e the Dickens character, Russia’sPremier Josef Stalin was “ willing” to meet with President Trnman to talk peace. But the question was; how witling? He is shown abovewith President Truman when the two met at Potsdam. WANTS OPEN DISCUSSIONTruman Won't Talk Behind Iron Curtain It was beginning to look like “Uncle Joe” Stalin and H arry S. Tru­ m an never would get together for a talk looking toward settlement of U. S. and other western powers’ differences with the Soviets. “Meet Stalin behind the iron curtain?” Secretary of State Dean Acheson snorted in disdain, declared in effect that the idea was pre­ posterous.Acheson went further. He asserted indirectly that the Russian leader was playing politics with peace hopes of millions of people. Anyway, Acheson went on, what m ight be gained? Hadn’t the Rus­sians consistenly blocked a ll efforts in the United Nations looking toward disarmaiTient, control of the atom bomb and creation of a U. N. police force?BUT THE U. S. couldn’t be put in the position of appearing disin­clined even to ta& about peace, so Acheson left the door open for a parley: but there were some Ameri­ can conditions this time. The \Vliite House, it appeared, would be willing to see Stalin—in Washington. Stalin had said he’d be willing to see Truman—behind the iron curtain, and there the m atter stood.Acheson made a further point. The U. S., in any event, would not discuss with Russia alone any points having a direct interest to other nations.As for a “peace” declaration, Acheson declard he found this puzzling inasmuch as Russia, the U S., and all other U. N. members are already pledged “by most solemn treaty commitments not to engage in war with one another.”H E ADDED that the hopes of the world’s peoples for peace are con­ sidered by this nation to be funda­mental, and that the United States would not play politics with these hopes. While it m ight appear an over­ sim plification of the problem, many m ight raise the question that if Acheson is relying on Russia’s U. N. pledge to keep the peace, why should there be any official U. S. concern over the entire Russian re­ lations puzzle?The fact there is grave concern over the puzzle indicates M r. Ach­ eson may have been talking when he should have been thinking. NORWAY: Standing Pat Norway was drawing no cards. Standing pat, she would play the ones she had.IN OTHER WORDS, the Nor­wegians wanted nothing but friend­ ship with the Soviets, but if it were all the same, they would rather de­pend upon security in regional pacts such as the proposed north Atlantic alliance, than upon an alignment with the Soviet union. The position stated by Norway was in answer to a Soviet note ask­ ing the nation’s clarification of its view on the proposed north Atlantic setup.Norway said the United Nations had failed to provide the world with peace and security, and her own people’s “serious concern” for their liberty had convinced the govern­ment that it was necessary to seek increased security through regional cooperation in the defense field.BUT THE NORW EGIAN govern­ ment assured the Russians that it would never agree to foreign bases on its soil "as long as Norway is not attacked or the subject of threats of attack.” And the govern­ ment pledged itself to support a policy of non-aggression. The decision could be interpreted no other way thgn as a definite setback for Soviet expansion-by-tn- tim idation policies. Norway is a sm all country and vulnerable to Soviet attack. Nevertheless, it has chosen to stand with the western nations—a decision certain to im ­pair Russian prestige and to show the way, in some measure, at least, how other Soviet-threatened nations m ay find the way out of a seeming impasse. PRESS FREEDOM: Losing Ground? Newspapermen and radiocasters from Sauk Center to Gotham would shout “foul!,” claim the opposition was hitting below the belt. A Baltimore crim inal court judge held three local radio stations and the news editor of one were guilty of contempt of court because they violated a court rule that restricts publication of crime news. THE JU D G E, John B. Gray, Jr., held, in a two-hour verbal opinion that broadcasts of information about a convicted murderer, before his trial last summer, constituted not only a clear and present danger to the fair adm inistration of justice, but “an obstruction to justice” in the accused’s right to a fa ir trial. The court agreed with a defense contention that the nine-year old rule was an “ abridgement of the freedom of the press,” but asserted such an abridgement “is justified because it conflicts with an equally potent constitutional right of an accused to a fair tria l.” NEW SHUTTER: Powerfully Fast A new fluid eyelid for a camera can blink and take a picture in 1-25 of a m illionth of a second. This eyelid is an electrical shutter with no moving parts. It’s fast enough to see any one of 25 things happen­ ing within a m illionth of a second. THE SHUTTER is a murky fluid that blocks light. Two electrical contants are immersed in it. When a current is passed tlirough, the liquid becomes transparent for an instant—as if a bottle of ink became water clear. The photographic plate is exposed to the action in front of the shutter for only the fraction of tim e when the liquid is clear. The length of exposure is governed by the volt­ age applied. The shutter offers a new way of slowing the action. The shutter was announced at the winter meeting of the American institute of electrical engineers by A. M. Zaren, Stanford research in­stitute, Los Angeles, and F. R. M arshall and P . L. Poole, TJ. S. naval ordnance test station. AMONG OTHER war-inspired de­vices being used in industrj'. the “snooper-scope,” which could “see” a- m an in the dark a quarter of a m ile away, now is being used to find faults in power transmission lines. It spotted the enemy by his body heat as it was supersensible. PENSION BILL: Vets Must Woit Little possibility was seen by con­ gressional leaders for enactment of a veterans’ pension b ill during the current session. The adm inistration is openly op­posed to any such measure, being quoted as saying a program already offered “could not be considered in accord with the program of the President.” THE PROPOSAL to which the reference was made is a veterans’ pension b ill to give servicemen of the last two wars a $60 monthly pension-when they reach age 60, plus disability payments. It is es­tim ated this would cost almost two billion doUars the first year, with later outlays reaching multi-billion dollar levels. Under this measure, sponsored by Mississippi’s Rankin, a veteran need only to have served 90 days in either world war to qualify for a pension. The extra disability pay would range from $20 to $120 a month, with no proviso that the disa­ bility m ust have been incurred in service. Veterans administrator Cary R. Gray, Jr., said that while he was neither opposing nor favoring the legislation in his capacity as vet­erans’ adm inistrator, its magnitude must be weighed closely now to prevent unwarranted financial out­ lays in the future. He pointed out the cost burden m ight be so great as to endanger the entire veteran- compensation program, PRESIDENT TRUMAN was on record with this statement; “The necessity for new or extended bene­ fits for veterans without service disabilities should be judged not solely from the standpoint of ser­ vice in our armed forces, but in the light of existing social welfare pro­ grams available to all veterans and non-veterans alilce. M r. Truman also said in his bud­get message: “The program of vet­ erans’ services and benefits should reflect the fundamental fact that our prim ary long-run obligation is to dependents of veterans deceased from service causes, and to vet­ erans disabled in service.

SATURATION: Claimed for Taxes Millions of Americans would agree with the premise: Taxes in America have reached the satura­tion point. Former President Herbert Hoover made the assertion to congress. As a remedy, he suggested unsnarlmg a century of government red tape, a slash in federal spending. FO R ALL H IS earnestness and the force of his figures, Herbert Hoover, “ great engineer” of the depression, was a voice crying in the wilder­ness. While President Truman outlined the need for vast federal expendi­ tures for world social and economic improvement, as weU as for defense measures, he had said nothing about reduction of government expendi­ tures. There was nothing in his an­nounced program relating to any such action. True, there have always been one or two individuals in every congress who have sought to stick a finger ir. the hole in the dike of federal outlay, but to date the stopper has never approximated the circumfer­ ence of the orifice. Indications were that it would be thus in the 81st congress. HOOVER RECOM M ENDED con­solidation of 1,800 bureaus, commis­ sions and divisions, but lurking in the background, ready to raise its awesome head at any moment, was patronage. Patronage means votes and votes means legislative tenure, and with the one fattening off the other, M r. Hoover’s recommenda­ tions commanded respect more for their temerity than for any hope of their adoption.

ATOM RAYS: No Deformities Are victim s of atomic bombings likely to produce grotesquely de­ formed offspring? Many scientists believe that is one of the terrible effects of atomic radiation. There are as m any more who disagree. But the U. S. arm y atomic energy commission has said no evidence of abnormal offspring had yet been found among the Japanese exposed to radiation at Hiroshim a and Naga> said. is officially described as “ to ad­ vance and insure com bat readiness for Fleet Marine Force A tla n tic units, and to pro- V i d e amphibious training for Army and Marine Corps units.” Adm iral W. H. P. Blandy, command- er-in-cheief of the « Atlantic fleet w ill ' * ^ over-all com-mand. Lieut. Gen. Keller E. Rockey, BAUKH.ilGE USMC, w ill com­ mand the joint m ar­ ine corps and arm y expeditionary troops which w ill be composed of the second m arine division and the 65th infantry, Caribbean command. Many of these men are vet­ erans of Pacific landings and the North African operations, but, the experts tell me, there are m any things to be learned for great progress has been made in amphibious training since the war. This is the first operation of its kind since the merger of the arm ­ ed services has been in effect, and nothing approaching it in size has ever been attempted in peacetime. Of course the m arine corps was virtually born amphibious and for the past 28 years has perfected the methods which were used in the late war. Now they serve as the instructors in this particular field of activity for the other branches of the service. Maneuvers which get compara­ tively little notice in the press are largely regarded by laymen as a spectacle or as a series of highly technical m ilitary problems which are too complicated to follow. As a m atter of fact, the actual man­ euvers are a sm all part of the opera­tion compared to the planning which dates back to the days when Caesar took his famous tenth le­gion from sm all boats onto the soil of ancient Britain, or before. Perhaps the earliest im portant invasion from the sea in modern times was one of the most unsuc­ cessful — the ill-fated G allipoli bat­ tle when the British troops were al­ most annihilated in -their first at­ tempt to invade Turkey in World War I. Intensive study of this de­ bacle was made in this coun­ try, and the marines had made great strides long before World War I I made such train­ ing necessary. Very few peo­ ple realized this. In fact, many people probably think that the Japs had a special patent on amphibious tactics. As one officer expressed it to me, there is nothing secret about this method of fighting. It is simply a question of “know-how.” A vast conglomeration of minute detail which is not used at all in ordinary land fighting. For example, an infantrym an takes for granted that he and his rifle are more or less one piece. But the first tim e he has to go over the side of a ship and into a sm all craft, he suddehly finds he is faced with a m ajor prob­ lem in assuring not only his own arrival on the beach but, what is equally im portant, the sim ultan­ eous arrival of his gun. If you have ever tried to crawl down a net with no equipment whatever, you realize it requires a ll ti’.e hands you have. But long before D-day, th'^;i'.sar.ds of details have been worked out hundreds of mUfs from the scene of action. As one officer put it, the stack of charts that have to be drawn are a mUe high. Beans, bullets, shoelaces—all are part of the picture quite as much as radar and range-finders. The little island of Vieques w ill be pounded with tons of shells, hauled, mauled, captured, and de­ serted, and then go back to a sub­ tropical siesta. But what happens there on and before M arch 2 and 3, 1949, m ay be of vital importance a decade hence. A New Truman Going to Work As the Ides of M arch approach, the new administration swings into its stride with a good deal of honey­moon fervor still in the air. From the day of the first White House press and radio conference after the inauguration, it was clear that we had a new President. Washington reporters had be­come used to several Harry Tru­ mans. There was the very grave and not very certain man who was called in 1945 to a job which he didn’t want and never expected to have with the shadow of tragedy over him . A m an who was at first so anxious to reassure the country that there would be no break in the continuity of leadership that he sometimes rushed in where a more experienced m an m ight have feared to tread. There were many “off-the- cuff” remarks with some dis­astrous results. Then came a period when he leaned over backward with caution; after that, the period when his own party seemed to be falling apart and it was no secret that the m an in the White House was disappointed and unhappy. Then came a gradual change which even many of his intimates did not realize, a change that grad­ ually culminated in the combative confidence which most of his sup­ porters failed to share. Washing­ ton watched his election campaign with considerable adm iration for his fighting spirit but without being convinced that even he, him self ac­ tually had the confidence he dis­ played. Then came the election upset and two months later, the tremendous turnout at the inauguration. There was evidence for those who could recognize it, in the manner of de­ livery of his inauguration speech, that here was still another Truman. At that first press and radio con­ ference, it was plain enough. At last he was his own m an. He felt he had earned his office. He prob­ ably had felt all along that he was fully competent to carry on its re­sponsibilities. But now something had been added: a controlled self- assurance. I think M r. Truman was sin­ cere when he told a luncheon meeting of the Democratic party’s finance committee that there were a m illion men in the United States who would make a better President, but it was his job and he would carry it out. He was sim ply saying that he realized there were men in the country with great­ er ability than he had. He didn’t say, nor did he think, that he didn’t have enough abil­ ity. If events prove that he hasn’t, he probably w ill be the first to adm it it. That is m y own interpretation and is offered for what it is worth. It is an expression based not only on what Harry Truman has said and done, but largely on the way he has said and done it. If he continues to handle him self in the way he has since the election, the men in government and out, in his own party and out of it, w ill find him a lot easier to deal with. Like­ wise, he is going to be proportion­ately more successful with those with whom he has to deal. Press Conferences Have Changed, Too At a recent White House news conference, an old tim er came up to me and remarked that the last few times he had attended these gatherings, aU of which had been especially well attended (well over 100 reporters) he couldn’t help thinking back to the days of Taft when, as he put it, Robert Sm all of the Associated Press and perhaps one or two others who used to be sneaked into the back door of the White House for confidential talks with the President, but no other nev/smen or women had any access whatever to the Chief Executive. I was not in Washington then but later I came to know Sm all very wen and I know he was known as "the fair haired boy” of the Taft adm inistration. It was the first tim e I had ever heard the expres­ sion. Sm all was a brilliant news­m an and Taft was very fond of him . I well recall the ex-President (Taft was then chief justice) com­ forting Sm all’s father at Bob’s fun­ eral. The former White House re­ porter was comparatively young when he died. I do not know how the press corps felt about Sm all’s inti­ mate relationship with the White House—or the other fortunate ones who were given these ex­ clusive privileges but I doubt if it occurred to anyone to sug­ gest the possibility of having regular open press confer­ ences. Teddy Roosevelt, how­ever, did call in press associ­ ation men on occasion. And yet such a situation (no reg­ ular conference) seems incredible today. No President would dare refuse to see newsfolk and stand up to questions which sometimes are more im pertinent than perti­nent.

The re-enactment of a modified excess-profit tax on corporations was recommended by Truman in both his 1948 message on the state of the union and in his address to the special session of congress last July. It was recommended, how­ ever. despite the violent objection of John Snyder, who was so op­ posed that the President had to turn to his council of economic ad­ visers for tax advice.This year, with corporate profits at an all-time high, such adminis­ tration stalwarts as Rep. John D. Dingell (M ich.), Bep. Herman Sberharter (Pa.) and Sen. Jos. O’Mahoney (Wyo.) came to the conclusion that another excess- profits tax recommendation was certain to come from the White House. So they prepared bills for an excess-profits tax to be intro­duced early in the 81st congress. Much to their amazement, how­ever, they were left out on the lim b W’hen the Truman state of the union message significantly omit­ ted any reference to an excess- profit tax. Inside story is that economic councillor Jolui Clark, head of an interdepartmental group of fiscal policy, finally gave up the fight for an excess-profits tax because of the obdurate sabotage and opposition of Secretary Snyder — long con­ sidered the President’s closest personal friend. Snyder has even gone to the ex­tent of placing his treasury tax technicians “ under wraps.” They are not available for conferences with the President’s staff or with administration leaders at the capi- tol. Snyder even went as far as to refuse a request from budget director Webb for the m ajor out­ lines of a treasury tax program to be included in the President’s budget message. Secretary Snyder now is con­ferring in secret session with con­ gressional leaders, but for the first time in recent history a secretary of the treasury w ill have no affirm ­ ative recommendations to present. Instead he w ill submit several “ al­ternatives,” thereby abdicating presidential leadership in tax policy. The chaos within the treasury is emphasized by Snyder’s refusal to choose between Assistant Secre­ tary John Graham of North Caro­ lina and general Counsel Tom Lynch of Ohio to represent him in policy discussions with congres­ sional staffs. White House aides privately ad­m it that the lack of cooperation from the treasury is frustrating and that the Truman- Snyder friend­ship presents a serious hurdle to the attainm ent of a “fair deal” tax program.* • * Bricker vs. Dev/eyGovernor Dewey was tongue- stabbed in the back by his former running m ate, Sen. John Bricker of Ohio, one day before President Truman’s inauguration. At a testi­ m onial dinner in honor of Sen. M argaret Chase of Maine, Bricker was introduced as Dewey’s run­ning mate in 1944. “It is true,” snapped Bricker, “I campaigned with Dewey in ’44, for Dewey in ’48—and if Dewey had campaigned for himself, we wotdd be inaugurating a different m an to< morrow.”• • • Housing Revolt Another revolt has broken out against the President’s public hous­ ing program. This tim e, however, the shooting doesn’t come from the real-estate lobby, but some of Tru­ m an’s strongest housing allies in the congress. Sen. Burnett Maybank of South Carolina and John Sparkman of Alabam a, Rep. Frank Buchanan of Pennsylvania and other liberals are up in arm s about the administra­tion’s bill, introduced by Senator EUender of Louisiana, which does nothing about the plight of war vets and others in the $2,000 to $3,600-a- year income group. Inside fact is that the EUender bill was written chiefly by Ray Foley, director of the housing and home finance agency, reportedly chummy with some of the big real estate lobby groups.Foley and his aides made no provisions for helping to fi­nance the $2,000-$3,600 income group, though President Tru­ m an had repeatedly told hous­ing leaders that this group— which Truman called the “ back­ bone” of the nation—should be helped to buy homes by direct government loans if necessary. Senator Maybank is firing the first shot in the revolt against the Ellender-Foley b ill by introducing an entirely new housing bfll—with government loan provisions for middle-income home buyers.

Dynamite Is Magic iVorker on Farmland Must Be Carefully Used to Prevent Harm Dynam ite is the P aul Bunyan of the modern farm . Like the make- believe, giant lum berm an who could uproot trees and do other remarkable things, explosives, properly and carefully used, can perform scores of labor-saving tasks about the farm , according to P. S. Eldred, manager of the ex­plosives and powder divisions, C lin industries, East Alton, 111. Farm ers today are finding they can save much labor and tim e in digging ditches, blasting out stumps, making post holes, cleaning out water holes and even planting trees by the use of explosives. “But caution is the watchword," he warns. Like fire, dynamite is an excellent servant and a terrible master. When the farm er uses it w ith full knowledge of the great labor-saving work it can do, as well as the fearful damage, he has a giant farm hand who can almost perform m iracles.” CHARGE^ fig u re 1 Stim ips are a bugbear to farm ­ ers. Each is a problem in itself. The farm er m ust study the type of stump, whether it has roots that run along just imder the ground, or has great tap roots. Then he m iist carefully plan how to blast out that stum p with dynamite. Again “ caution” is the watchword. If not sure, the farm er should consult an explosives expert. B ut the typi­cal way to blast a stump is to place the dynamite as near as pos­sible under the center mass, or under the larger roots. If there are two large roots, it m ay be nec­essary to plant the explosive under both. Figure 1 shows the proper way of loading to remove an evenly rooted stump. The charge is under the center of the stump. Sometimes there are stumps with central downward roots, called tap roots. I n such a case as shown in Figin:e 2, the charge is ^FUSE SPLIT CARTRIDGES Figure 2 placed down alongside the tap root on the side that w in bring it as near as possible to the center of the stump. Another great labor-saving task can be performed with dynamite. That is the digging of the ditches. Dynam ite can be easily carried through the woods, swamps and' other country impassible to horses or machines and, once there, can quickly do more work than dozens of laborers or several machines. FUSE, WATER OR EARTH TAMPING Figar* 3 But always the words “safety- first” must be kept in m ind. The farm er should know his explosive, know the type of soil in which he is operating and should not trust his own judgm ent. If there is ever any doubt, he should consult an expert. 'Ditches are dug by dynamite not by placing one charge, blowing out a hole then using another charge. Figure 3 shows the dynamite lanted stick by stick at regular itervals so that whole sections are blown out at the same tim e.

Like I Was Telling You By BAUTLEY HOIVLEY D A U L turned a quizzical eye OE ^ his compahion. Slie had bright blue eyes that darted happily abou< the dining car, missing nothing. "Like I was telling you,” she said in a birdlike voice, “people don’1 usually show their true selves. Y o u never can tell just what a person will do providin’, of course, he’s given an oppartunity.” Delicately she nib­bled a roll. “People are funny, they really are. Don’t you think so?” Paul nodded silently. So far he hadn’t been given an opportunity to speak but he didn’t m ind. This lady reminded him of his maiden aunt, an extraordinai'y woman who had been mother and father to him. She had been gone now for two years. Miss Harnngton, Miss Abigail Har­ rington, .began again. "Take my hus­ band, for instance.” Paul lifted an eye­ brow. "You’re wonderin’ haw J could be Miss Harrington, aren’t you, young man? It’s sim ple. I'he judge gave me permission to take my maiden name >=>ack. That’s what I want to tell you about. It’s almost unbe- >ievable the things that people do. Arch, ray husband, had a fine edu­cation and a marvelous personal­ ity.” She dipped her head and peeked coyly up. "Suppose it’s hard to believe, but I was not so bad myself. Anyway, I was the envy of all the girls. "Arch was dotvutowa one day doing some shopping for me. He was wailing for his package and what do you sup­ pose?'' Paul shook his head. “WeU, sir, the woman next to him moved on and left her purse right in front of him . A nice, juicy purse. Now Arch had good pay and everything nice but there it was — in front of him — the big purse—the opportunity. The temp­tation was too much. Arch fe lll" She laid her fork dov/n and wrung her hands. “Naturally I begged him to take it back, pleaded until I was blue in the face. I ’U bet you can’t im agine what he did?” ' Paul shook his head. “He wouldn’t fight with me, ol course, and he wouldn’t take the purse back. He bought me the loveliest dressing gown you’ve ever seen.” Her eyes glowed. “I looked beautiful in it, too. But it was ill- gotten. I was never happy in it.” Paul was silent. “ 'T'H IN G S got from bad to worse.Arch was clever but the police got on and we were hunted aU over. I stayed with him naturally because he was my husband and he was good to me. But they caught him .” A shadow crossed her face. “They She picked up her pnrse and beamed. tricked him. That wasn’t fair, was it?” Paul shrugged. Abigail Harrington looked up, her sprightly sell again. “That’s my story. I ’m sorry if I’ve bored you but I ’ve always thought it was a good example of what people w ill do if given opportunity.” Paul nodded silently and paid the biU. She picked up her purse and beamed at him . They rose together and made their way back to their seats. For the next two hours she prattled on about her fam ily and friends, his fam ily and friends. She asked many questions and answered them herself. The journey was over loo soon to suit Paul who was en­joying himself immensely. The train pulling in. was giving spasmodic jerks so he placed a protective arm to steady her. He jumped down and turned to help. Too late, he saw that one of her heels had caught on the step and thrown her off bal­ ance. He caught her neatly. “That was close,” she gasped. “Thank you, young m an.” She adjusted her hat and Paul stooped to retrieve her purse and its scattered contents. With a bow, he returned the trticles, all except one. It was a gentle- man’s wallet, bis wallet. His eyes raised to hers. "Like I was telling you,” she quavered, “people are funny. You never can tell what people w ill do, given the opportunity.” Released by WNU reatures.

Vegetable Magic Do you always slice tomatoes and serve them on a piece of lettuce? Do you always bake squash or boil green beans? True, you’ll get your quota of vegetables in the diet this way, but don’t you think variety would make them just a b it easier to eat? Vegetables are one of our most versatile foods, and there’s no lim it to the attractive ways in which they can be prepared. If you’ve fallen in a rut in serving these lovely jewels of green and gold, then take your­self in hand and brush up on vege­ table lore.New ways of preparing vegetables are no more difficult than old ones, and tricks w ith seasoning and serving may be all the fam ily needs to sit up and take notice of the vege­ table iare offered for dinner.Here is a squash recipe which w ill make the vegeta­ bles disappear aa i/ By magic: Zucchini Casserole (Serves 6) 6 small zucchini squash 6 tablespoons light cream 1 egg, slightly beaten % to 1 cup grated cheddar cheese Salt and pepper to taste Garlic salt to taste C ut peeled zucchini into quarter- inch slices and place in a saucepan w ith ju st enough water to cover.

DEVOTIONAL READING: Matthew 13:44-53. Ideal World Lesson for February 27, 1949 K NY MAN with a revolutionary “ new idea has to try to ex­plain it. Jesus was no exception. As a young teacher of religion, he had to answer the question which older ^ teachers were bound i f ^ ” to put to h im : If your § teaching is new, how can it be true? And if it is true, what can be n e w about it? . This was a fair ques- * tion. The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus’ answer to it. The Dr. Foreman m ain theme of that sermon is the kingdom of God, an ancient phrase but with new mean­ ings as Jesus used it. We can say “The Ideal World” and mean just the same thing.« « * The Eight People JESUS EM PHASIZES, above all, the kind of people who belong to God’s Ideal World. This would be surprising to some modern plan­ ners. Communists think that if you can once get a world in which every one has enough to eat and drink and wear, a world where nobody is poor (or everybody is as poor as every­body else, which is aU the same thing), you wiU liave the perfect world. Jesus would know this is nonsense. You do not get the per­fect world by improving the soil, or the system of government, or the economic system; you do not get it by passing laws of any kind. This does not mean that such things are unimportant—far from it. But the fact is that even after you got your perfect social sys­ tem , with perfect politics and perfect distribution of wealth, even a perfect clim ate and soil, yon would still be nowhere near the Ideal World unless you have improved youi: people.« » « Is This Xou WHAT W E call the “beatitudes” (M att. 5:7-12) is Jesus’ eight- point program for the citizen of the Ideal World. The right people are happy people, to begin with. (The word translated “ Blessed” is a reg­ ular Greek word for “happy.” ) But the m ain difference between differ­ent kinds of people is not that some want to be happy while others do not. Jesus’ ideal people are humble, not proud; they see their sins and are sorry for them ; they are “meek”—that is, they are not in a hurry to demand their own rights; they do not merely admire good­ ness, they are positively hungry for it; they are m erciful, not careless or cruel; they are pure in heart and not only in speech and act; they are not mere peace-wishers or peace- lovers (who isn’t?) b u t peace­ makers; they are people who are brave enough to do what is right. * • * Salt DO YOU really want an ideal world? The best way to begin is to learn how tO' be a citizen of such a world. Jesus uses two in­teresting simple words to describe the kind of people he means. You are salt, he said,—you are light. Salt and light are old-fashioned things but they have never gone out of date. So there is no substitute for a really good Christian. Living, here and now, like citizens ol the ideal world to come, Christ­ians ate both salt and light. Salt because they give a taste to otherwise fla t or bitter life. Salt be­ cause they keep human society from going rotten.« • « Light K ND LIGHT! Like salt, light ought “ not to be too noticeable. A glar­ ing light is bad on the eyes, as too much salt is bad on the tongue. So a Christian is not supposed to rub his goodness in on other people, so to speak. He is as Indispensable as salt in bread—and should be as in­ conspicuous. But light, like salt, if it is any good has to be applied directly. A strong light concealed in a steel tube does no good. Swishing the glass end of the salt-cellar around in the soup gives it no flavor. The salt m ust get into the soup, the light must touch what we see. So the Christian, God’s ideal citizen-in-training, can do the world no good by running away from the world. If a Christian is going to leave this world better than he found it, —even a little bit farther on toward the Ideal World,—he must come into touch w ith the world, not to im itate it but to change it. .-.(Copyright by the Intemattona!

FUECSX AID TO AILING HOUSES By Roger tVMtman QUESTIOlNf; “W hat can I use to clean my woodwork and wood sur­ faces with an enamel finish w ith­out removing .the shine? Regular cleansers dull the iinish so much and leave streaks.” ANSWER: There are special cleaning preparations for such sur­ faces and, if used according to di­ rections, should n;3t dull or streak the woodwork. It may be that you did not rinse off the cleanser enough after cleaning, so that a dirty fihn was left on the surface. As an al­ ternative to the cleaning prepara­tion, you m ight try sponging lightly w ith a soft cloth wrung out of soapy water (pure whitte soapsuds), and follow with clean, damp cloths. Then rub dry. If the surface looks dull, give it a very thin aipplication of paste wax, as nearly colorless as you can get it. Give it time to dry hard and then polish well".

Jriansas A n American Tragedy Now and then, a sorry scene is staged in the drama of American life. I refer to the tragic denial of basic American principles by mis­ led persons and groups, acting in the name of religion. It grates on m y ears when I hear of it. Though some of these persons are sincere, doubtless, I get plenty riled when I read the news that some church group decided that those principles which have so long brought us pros­perity and well-being, must be re­ placed as behind-the-times.Here are free Americans, citizens of a land that grants them freedom of religion, assembly, speech—citi­zens whose founding fathers dedi­ cated this nation to truth. They know that in America, the most lib­erty is found in doing right deeds. Yet—these who receive so many blessings—yet will they deny the heritage which should be theirs to pass on to their children.Better Society? In New England last June, a group of ministers met and in unanimous agreement called for “change toward the better society.” So far, so good. But then, this group denounceo tne idea ol protit incen­tives! “Monopolistic capitalism ,” they said. What blindness! In this frame of mind, would it not be easy for them to embrace Communism? This same group called for the creation of “community without loss of individual freedom.” What contradictions! What impossibili­ ties! Do you know what community is? It is not individual freedom, not tlie right to your own decisions, not the exercise of self reliance. That shadowy wording means; state con­ trol of everything. “Community” is common ownership; it is Commu­ nism. This is amazing, for a religious group to call for a state dictator­ship system — for Communism it­ self. Economic NonsenseCut in California last year a very large and influential group of churchmen accepted a conference report which lashed out against "the un-Christian motivation of in­dustry by the lust for profit.” In simpler terms, this means you are under suspicion if you have ideas about either having or making money. One religious leader pres­ent said it was not profit itself, but just the desire for profit, that was opposed. What nonsense for edu­ cated men!To say things like that is to con­demn industry in whole and in part. Labor, right along with manage­ ment, is socked ri"h t between the eyes. This kind of thinking denies the basis of America’s strength. It would repeal the principles which have made our land the finest ever, anyivher^ at any time. It calls for the overthrow of the American sys­ tem. That is exactly what w ill have to take place if the profit-motive is ever discarded. Keep Out Freedoms I cannot help wondering why these churchmen say these things. Is it because they have not read the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25)? Can they not see they are fol­ lowing right in line with fiiose who long to destroy America? Do they want a Godless nation, like Russia? Are they the unassigned agents of systems foreign to America? I have not the answer. But I do plade confidence in the religious people of America. A ll together, we must preserve this nation. Have yon heard Ur. Benson and theradio drama “Land of the Free"?. Chech your local station for time. Telescopic The barrier to closer scrutiny of Mars, or of any other planet, for that matter, is our atmosphere. We live at the bottom of a gre^t ocean of air By getting to the top of a mountain a mile or more hi.-jh, wo leave beneath us fully half of the dirt of the atmos­ phere. Even then, however, there if turbulence in that oce-n of air that stretches above us, and objects view­ed through telescopes dance and squirm and refuse to stay sharply focused. The larger the telescope, the wider a beam of air through which the light must come, so the more dis­ turbance. In general, a moderate telescope gives a better view of a planet than a very large telescope does. LOOKINGAHEAD GEORGE s.

Experimental Frozen Food TJnit Farm people who freeze part of their food supply will be interested in the farm type frozen food unit now in use in the laboratory of Eunice Kelly, human nutritionist of North Dakota Agricultural College experi­ment station. This home freezer Is 30 cubic feet, three and one-half feet wide, eight feet long, and three feet high. It is adequate for a farm family of four to six people. The unit is well Insulated with six to seven inches of redwood bark insulation, and permits a 24-hour or longer power shut-off without food damage. The average operating consumption of the freezer im it is imder 100 kilowatt hours per month, and it will cost from $2 to $3 to run each month, depending upon the electricity rate. How Much Government? It’s 2,272 miles from New York to Salt Lake City, Utah. Yet, if all the civilian employees in the execu­ tive branch of our federal govern­ment were six feet tall (they’re not), and you placed them head to top on U. S. Highway 30, they’d reach the distance easily with 1.4 miles to spare. This comparison is conserv­ ative. It was based on an estimate of 2 m illion government workers in the executive branch alone.Perhaps nobody can ever know just how many there are. During the first four months of this year, they increased at a rate of more than 450 a day. Use another com­ parison. There is one executive worker in the federal goveinment for every 21 income taxpayers. In other words, these 21 taxpayers are paying the salary of the 22nd man. And that’s just in the executive arm of the federal government. Paying the Piper Each and every American citizen must not fail to lie interested in this problem of mu.shrooming govern­ ment. As long as we fool ourselves into the habit of asking for more government, we’ll see more and more added to the payrolls and we’ll pay higher and higher taxes. We need to decide how much govern­ment we want. Certainly the more of it we set up the more we have to pay for. At fte rate we have been going in the last decade, most of us w ill be working for the government in a tew years. That would be one of the simplest ways to take the country into so­cialism . Let most of us be drawing paychecks from the government, in salaries and various benefits, and we would have socialism right here without voting for it. W hat we need constantly to remember is that the government has not a cent to spend except what it collects from you and me and from our neighbors. It’s Up to Congress Our next Congress w ill have a real test, and a real opportunity. Last year, the 80th Congress pro­vided this historic opportunity by establishing a commission to study the reorganization of the executive side of our government. Member­ship of the Commission includes some of our most public spirited citizens. These experts are giving the structure and functions of many a government agency a thorough going over. They are also studying expenditures, with the idea of pro­posing changes that will bring both economy and efficiency. Must Say: “N o!” The 81st Congress will liave the job of acting upon whatever recom­mendations the Commission may present. It is not an easy task. Any executive finds it hard to lop off an office here, and an office there. When the government starts a serv­ice, it is hard to find a stopping place. Moreover, each and every department will fight to the finish for increased personnel and more money. May the coming Congress find enough gizzard and gristle to stand up and say no. We must end waste and extravagance in government. When nearly thirty cents out of every dollar you earn goes directly or indirectly toward support of fed­eral government, that is too much. We cannot continue to be the strong and financially stable nation we must be, unless something is done to curtail the spread of gi“ ent. First U. S. Air Mnil Service After viewin,? the potentialities of the airplane durirg World War I, congress appropriated $100,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1918, to establifsh an experimental air mail route. W ith am:y pilots doing the fly­ ing, the first scheduled trip was launched May 15, 1918, between New York and Washington \’ia Philadel­ phia. Service over this 218-mile route consisted of one round trip daily, ex­cept Sunday. Three months later the post office took over the entire op­eration. Out of this humble begin­ ning developed coast-to-coast air mail service. On May 15, 1919, mail took to the air between Chicago and Cleve­ land; on July 1. 1919, between Cleve­ land and New York; on May 15, 1920, between Chicano and Omaha. Then on September 8,1920, the Omaha-San Franciiico leg was added. An airway nov/ linlied the Pacific and Atlantic cor.sts for the first time—the U. S. air inail Route No. 1. Small, out of the way corner of garden or yard makes a suitable site for a compost pile. Vegetable tops and trimmings make suitable com­post, but the compost pile should not be looked upon as a substitute for the ffarbage can. Fats in particular are to be avoided. There is no hard and fast difference bebveen compost and artificial manure. Compost usually consists of a mixture of poultry lit­ ter, fresh or dried manure and soil, usually in the proportion of one third of the animal matter to two thirds of the soil. Commercial fertilizer and ground limestone are usually added and the mixture is kept moist, and turned over a time or two during'a six-month period. A mixture of this sort is usually referred to as potting soil and it supplies an excellent medi- inn for the storting of seeds and transplanting plants. w GEORGE S. REN SON Presideut—Mnri/m) Csllege Setrcg. Arkansas It ’s Your Business Who owns America’s industry? It’s easy to say who owns the hot- dog stand down the street or the candy store on the comer. But, you say, “big” business is different. You’re right, it is different. The chief difference is that most large firms are “corporations," which are owned by many people rather than just one or two persons. Maybe the hot- dog man and the candy store owner —^maybe even you—own these big businesses. That’s very likely, for the people of America do own them. Sometimes you’ll find a fellow who is afraid of that word corporation. Mostly, that is because he does not understand what it means. The mod­ em corporation is built around this idea; many people working together can sometimes do things in a better way than just one or two can do them alone. You see, it takes a lot erf money for an automobile factory or an oil refinery. But we have them, even if they do cost millions of dollars to build. Then who’ll build them? Risk and Venture There is hardly anybody who would want to lay down ten or twenty m illion dollars for a new industriEd venture. Few have that much money, and fewer still would want to risk that much at a time. But there are many of us who would like to invest a little, hoping for a small retium on our money. This may be done through the cor­ poration. It obtains a charter from the state, which permits it to seek capital by inviting people to take shares of stock. Money thus put up by "stockholders” is used to build factories, to gather in machinery and materials, and to handle payrolls until earnings come in. If managed weU, the company may pay divi­ dends to those who put up their money. Money Working There are perhaps 500,000 corpo­ rations in America. Some of them are sm all Others are equipped- and financed by thousands of people for the purpose of doing big jobs welL Anyone who buys stocks or bonds is a direct investor. There are per­haps 20 m illion such persons, and they Ifflrdly could be called “bloated capitalists.” About half of all corporation dividends go to persons with annual incomes vmder $10,000. But whether they be called rich or poor, those who invest money in corporations are very important to all of us. Their investments help make jobs and create payrolls.The People Own In America, not two or three fam­ ilies nor a favorite political clique nor even the government, but the people own the tools of production. Anyone of us may invest in corpora­tions. Besides direct investors, any­ one who pays for life insurance or has bank savings should be inter­ ested in the welfare of corporations. That is true because insurance companies and banks invest in vari­ ous industrial enterprises the money they receive from you. In this addi­tional way, ownership of corpora­ tions is spread throughout the land. Management, labor, investors—all work together to make business and industry hvun w ith production. Everyone benefits. This is the mira­ cle of America’s free enterprise. « S'-thW-rghiJjTour lo «I staUon (or time.

In 1947, the iron and steel indus­try consumed 20,016,000 gross tons of purchased scrap In Its various fur­ naces. This tonnage of purchased scrap exceeded the previous peak, set during the war in 1943, by more than 1,336,000 tons. This record supply nevertheless was insufficient to boost steel operations above a yearly aver­age of 93 per cent of capacity. It Is estimated that millions of tons of po­ tential steel production have been lost since the end of the war because of insufficient supplies of purchased scrap, and the poor quality of avail­ able scrap.
