E. Isenhour. Hitfh Polot N. C. R4 It’s great to be an educated saint, but everybody haven’t been and can’t be well edncaten, but Peter wasn’t. However, both served and worshiped God and accomplished great things. They left their mark behind that has Messed the world for ninetean hundred years. I ’ve seen gome educated saints, and I ’ve seen well educated men who were servantes of the devil. A man highly educated, with his life fully aonsecrated to God, is a great and maJvelous blessing. He win<: souls, encourages pilgrims on thei iourney heavenward, wieldes and leaves an influence along life’s pathway that lifts hnmanlty and honors and glorifies God. Would to ood thas every sdncatcd person were godlv. If this could be tea. Ilzed tbrottghont the earth today we would see a great change a- mong nations tbat would be wond erful. An education that takes one deep in godliness, righteous. hoKnes. and the richness of God’s love and grace, certainly is a rich and rare treasure It is far better to own than material riches when God is left oat of the heart and life. Our young people today who are striving for an education certainly need God in their lives. In fact they should first seek God, and seek His will concerning their lives, that thev may use their education to bless humanity rather than curse humanity. Tne Bible should be the main textbook of everv man’s life He should etudv it, love if.« great, deep, profound and wonder­ ful truths above all bocks on earth It should be sweet, dear and pre­ cious to his soul. It is always safe to follow its directions, when ac­ cepted and rightty interpreted. The Bible would save multitudes of our young people todav from er. tor, .trom false theories, and from much cheap tommyrot that has crept into our system of fducation. If they would sincerely accept it and its Divine Author. O (bat we had more educated saints! We praise God for all well educated people who lives are deeply s-iri- tnal. Not only so, but we deeply ap­ preciate, and thank and prai e God, for every saint on earth, many of whom have little ednca. tion, and soma of whom have none. Every saintly person is to be ap predated. But we realize tbat a man with a great education i a saint, who is powertui and active in God’s service can accomplish more than if he had no education. Saiutliness, however, is a peal of great price. Hoover Report Washington— Congress has re- ceived another report from the Hoover Commission— a report cri ttcal of confusion and w*.ste in the Federal government. The Hoover Coivmission took up the business end of the housekeep­ ing side of the government today This includes the job of buying things for the government, of keep, ing its records, of managing its ouildings. The Hoover commis­ sion decided that what it found was pretty sad. For example: it estimated that 70 per cent of all the goods which the government agencies have stor ed for themselves is above actual needs. In some cases, there are stockpiles which these agencies could not use up in 50 years. And when it comes to buying thing«: the Hoover Commission estimated that on about one and a half mil lion purchaiiing ordeVs, the paper work cost more than the actual goods tbat were bought hy the gov ernment. And said the commls. slon, just tty 10 find something in the Federal shelves; In some places there are 17 different systems of ideotifying the same tbiog. Electrification of Farms Given Impetus Under REA He Prefers Cash *T^HE husband and wife had fin- .1- ished an excellent meal i: the exclusive restaurant. A biU for five dollars was presented, and the hus­band suddenly remembered leaving his waUet al home. The waiter summoned the proprie­ tor. The husband explained the situation. “I must have left my wal­ let in another suit,” he asserted. “Can you wait while I go home for the money? I ’ll leave my wife here as security." The proprietor c-ougned slightly. “I beg your pardon,” he suggested, "b ut haven’t you a watch or a ring you could leave as a deposit in­ stead?” The husband looked up angrily. “S ir,” he demanded, “are you in­ sinuating that my wife is not worth five dollars?"The proprietor bowed. “Not at a ll,” he murmured, “but I already have a w ife!” GROVNRLESS FEARS “W hat would happen il we struck a big iceberg?” asked the nervous passenger “The iceberg would pass along as if nothing had happened,” answered the captain. The passenger sighed with relief. DEFIN ITE REPLY n iv teacher, explaining to her young pupil!> that the earth was round, asked questions to bring out her point. “ Herm an,” she asked, “ could you walk around the earth?” “No, m a’am ,” promptly r.epUed little Herman. “Why not?” asked the teacher. “Because my mother won’t al­ low me to leave the back yard.” Thirteen years ago, about 10 per cent of the nation's farms were elec­trified. Most power companies wers reluctant to take profit risks involve ed in making service available to • greater number, and many assumed that such farms as required electrici­ ty for major operations already had it. But congress thought differently, and rural electrification administni- tiori. v.-as established, authorized to r-r.'-e sclf-liquidating loans to bring circtric service to nnaerved persons i-! i"ir=! areas, says the U. S. depart- ....... '■f E’-.Triculture. REA operatesr.o f-ci.i;t.ie3, has no fidd offices, and 5 no grants. Its loans are made fcagis of coverage of areas f. ' ■ ’I it was assumed that existing no-. cnnipanies would use REA hr:: :-.7 facilities to extend electrifi- - "cn. .such companies borrowed less ” :- i c”o one-hundredth of the start- ir-: f:md made available 1935-36.Tcc:ay SO per cent of REA borrow- er.s are rural electric co-ops—Inde- nondent, locally owned business en> t^rprises—most of which operate dis­ tribution systems only, purchasing power from commercisj power com- pm ies or public agencies. Relatively little has been loaned to finance generating plants, transmis­sion facilities, or the installation of wiring, equipment, or appliances on consumer premises. Loans are made for 35 years at a flat 2 per cent interest, the amount REA can loan annually being fixed by congress. Before the war, the pro- firam was geared to loans of $40,000,- r'T annually, in 1947 alone, however, r-'\ r.dvanced more than $225,000,- 000 in rr.-yionse to actual demand. Slightly Deceiving A woman p’^oned her bank to arrange for the disposal of a thou­ sand-dollar bond"Is the bond for redemption 07 conversion?” a clerk inquired. There was a long pause, then the woman asked: “ Am I talking to the First National bank or the First Baptist church?" FISH NETS W illie; “ Dad, how do fishermen make their nets?” Dad: “That’s very simple, Wil­ lie. They just take a handful of holes and sew them together.” Run. Brother, Run! Two absent-minded nunters strol­ ling in the African jungle had for­gotten to bring their gun. They realized it when they saw a rare saber-tooth tiger coming toward them. “W hat shall v.-p do?” asked one. “I don’t know what you’re plan- nin’ on doin’.” the other hunter re­ plied. running “but I’m getting ready to spread the news through all South Africa” Fussy Patient Patient; “Why stick me in the ward with that crazy guy?” Doctor: “Hospital’s crowded— is he troublesome’ " Patient: “He’s nuts! Keeps looit- ing around, saying ‘No lions, no tiger.";, no elephants’—and all the tim e the room’s full of ’em .” Know Fire C "'‘rol ABC’s, Expert Suggcs'" to Farmers A survey showed that 81 per cent of farmers were tolerating dangerous fire hazards that could be remedied easily. Fire prevention and fii-e protection begin with fundamentals, says O. B. Copeland, extension service editor, Athens, Ga., "but many farmers atill do not seem to realize that there are three basic types of fires and that each should be handled in a different way. , “Class A fires," he said, "involve wood, trash, paper and other com­ bustibles and can be fought effective­ ly with soda-acid extinguishers. Class B fires are grease, oil and gasoline fires and should be smothered with carbon dioxide, foam or vaporizing liquid extinguishers. Class C fires are electrical fires and should be controll­ ed with carbon dioxide or vaporizing Uquid extinguishers. If possible, the current should be shut off. In all cases, extinguishers approved by the Underwriters' Laboratories should be used." Failure to appreciate the ABC fun­damentals of fire costs farmers an estimated $90,000,000 worth of pro­perty and kills approximately 3,500 people on farms each year. NPIP Spells More Eggs National potUtry in-.provement plan has proved, says Albert B. Godfrey of the bureau of animal industry, “a very efficient program for the identi­ fication, multiplication, and distribu­ tion of superior strains of poultry breeding stock." Since the plans were put hito operation, says the TT. S. de- p^tm ent of agriculture, the annual rate of lay in the United States has increased from 122 to 155 eggs a year, baaed on the number of layers in flocks. Other factors contributed, but the bureau says the improvement plan was a major factor. All states but Nevada now cooperate in the plan which involves about 27 million birds that are tested for pullorum disease and selected to improve breeding qualities. The cooperating states have adopted uniform termin­ ology and are obligated to meet at least the minimum requirements of the plan. U ght from Fireflies Captured fireflies provide the Wea­ ver bird with a well Ughted nest hi India, according to legends there. Famous English Bells Bells have bee 1 part of England's life for close to a thousand years, the first record of bell-founding in tins country dating l>ack around A. D. 940. Bell-founding is thus one of the oldest crafts in England, a craft which has changed little In those thousand years. When an old oversea.c peal has lost its harmony, or a hell is cracked, it is the English bell- founders who puts things right. Big Ben weighs 13 H tons, yet is not the biggest bell in London. That distinc­ tion belongs to Great Paul who hangs in one of the cathedraVs towers and weighs 16^2 tons. Paul Is also the heaviest bell in the empire. These, however, are little more than hand­bells compared with the great bell of Moscow, which one presumes still ex­ists beiiind the iron curtain. The weight of this beU is 128 tons, Heat and Egfg Combinations Reeonuaended for Children To get maximum body-building val­ ue from the protein in small supplies of meat, main dishes that combine meat with eggs are recommended by Ralph Hoagland of the bureau of ani­mal industry, U. S. department of ag­ riculture. Hoagland has been in charge of a long series of studies on growth on the protein of pork and beef. From this research it seems evi­dent that meat-and-egg combma- tlons are of special value to families with growing children who are get­ ting along with less meat because of higher prices. Enough protein of high biological value is necessary for the growth of all young animals, chil­dren included. When meat supplies are cut short to fit into tight budgets, mothers need to make a special effort to save their children from running short on the protein they need. One way to do this is to supple­ ment the smaller supplies of meat with eggs. Because eggs are rich in cystine and methionine, two of the amino adds needed for growth, they can reinforce small supplies of meat hi these two substances.Though ham-and-eggs and bacon- and-eggs are familiar teams, the use of other meats with eggs is much less common and deserves encourage­ ment in budget meals, Hoagland be­lieves. Well Ventilated Cellar Offers Best Egg Storage Best farm storage for eggs in the few days they await marketing is a well ventilated cdlar or basement. In the coolest comer build a shal­low sandbox about three by six feet, with a removable slatted cover. Pill nearly full of sand and keep the sand moist, to maintain high himiidity. Then enclose the comer with a can­vas or burlap curtain. Such a cooler—faithfully used- wili make money for the producer who is able to sell high qualliy eggs to a market that buys on a graded basis. Eggs intended for such a mar­ ket should be gathered three times a day in wire baskets and cooled out as quickly as possible. Eggs in a wire basket cool twice as fast as in a bucket, and four times as fast as in a case. Eggs left under a hen lose quality —and market value—very rapidly. So far as quality is concerned, an egg left under a hen for eight hours, is as bad as three days old when gather­ ed. After thorough cooling, eggs should be cased, using flats and fillers that have been kept in a cool, moist place. After casing, they should still be held in alcohol; moist place until market­ ed. They should be marketed once a week, or preferably, twice a week. Quality Wanted In Potatoes Most homemakers consider the quality of the potatoes they buy more fanportant than either the size or the price, a recently completed sur­ vey shows. In the survey, homemak­ ers In a cross-section sample of towns of 2,500 population or over were ask­ ed about their preferences in pota­ toes. They were asked about storage problems in the home, what cooking qualities they prefer, whether they purchase particular brands and many other questions. The study was made by the bureau of agricultural eco­ nomics In a project under the re­search and marketing act. Among the homemakers interrtewed, quality was fotmd to outweigh size and price 12 to 1 for the country as a whole. In the South, however, consumers indi­cated a slighUy greater interest in price than those in the North. It also was fotmd that homemakers in the U. S. emphasizezd the size over price by about 3 to 2., Utopian U. 8. Community Although it is as much a part of the United States as Long Island. Puerto Rico 1s the only commun'*-' under the American flag not sub’ect to federal income tax laws. Insular legislation recentiy enacted gives complete exemption from income, property and municipal taxes for a period of 12 years to new industries in 41 stipulated categories, as well as to new hotels and guest houses. Puer­ to Rico has its own insular income tax laws patterned after the federal legislation. Worst Food Thief One hundred thousand bushels of wheat were stolen from American farmers in a single year. That was the estimated loss due to leaf rust in 1938. Today that grain thief is still at large in many fields in the nation's winter and spring wheat belt The world-wide ' spread of this virulent, centuries-old plant disease and the economic importance of wheat have made leaf rust the gravest menace to the world's foremost food crop.

During the first months of each year, Social Security Adm in­ istration field offices receive many requests from wage earners for wage statements to be used as a basis for preparing income tax re­ turns. We have received many inquiries in our Winston-Salem office. Since all wage reports for the preceding year are not avail­ able, wage statements will not provide the desired information. The Social Secunty Administra­ tion’s records, kept in Baltimore. Maryland, do not yet include all wages reported for the year 1948. Because of the time required for the Bureau of Internal Revenue to handle the great volume of em­ ployer returns, and for the Ad­ ministration to post the wage a- mounts to the individual accounts, wage statements covering the year 1948 will not be available until July 1, 1949. A statement of wages furnished at this time will include wages through June 30, 1948 only. If you want such a statement, call at or write to our office, located at 437 Nissen Building, Winston- Salem, N. C., and request the form used for this purpose. W ith­ in a short time you will receive from our Accounting Division a statement of the wages posted to your Social Security Account since January 1, 1937. W hen you receive this state­ ment of wages, if you have any questions in connection with it, I suggest that you contact our of fice. We will be glad to discuss the statement with you. If your statement disagrees with the re- cotds you have kept, it is to your advantage to take care of this at once, for the law provides that Social Security wage records be­ come conclusive four years from the year in which wages are paid. I will be in Mocksville March 23, at the court house, 2nd floor, at 12:30 p. m. I will be in Coo­ leemee on the same date at the Erwin Cotton Mills Gompany of­ fice at 11 a. m.

MMtOIIILLe «. n o llll M R. CRANE sat in a pad- ^ ed arm chair before the lire in his room. The pipe and tobacco on the table beside him went un­touched. Old Mrs. Cranston had given him the pipe and tobacco, Che arm chair and the basement room. In return he tended the furnace and sometimes swept the floor. Old M r. Crane began to think, about him self as he’d have liked ----------- to have been. He3-Minute thatI^^d a fine rictio n father and moth- ----------- er, maybe a doc­tor and a teacher. Someone whose money came in regular and who’d have seen that he got educated; who could have found what he was suited to and maybe given him a start. He’d have m arried, well, someone like Alda Rich, who used to ride her bicycle past his father’s house and who sometimes stopped to speak to him . Alda was Dr. Rich’s daughter and spoke to everybody. A nice girl, not stuck- up or proud. The children would have been like Alda, too. Two boys and two girls. He’d have called the elder girl Alda and one of the boys for himself, M ilton Crane, Jr. People would have written it that way on letters. He’d seen it that way when he’d carried in the m ail for old Dr. Rich that summer when he mowed lawns for his keep. Dr. Rich had given him many a stray quarter on the side. "Seems as if such a rich country should be able to give you a better chance, son." Young as he was, be fe lt fomething both sorrow ful and angry in the doctor’s voice. After Algy, the smallest, got pneumonia and died, their father had failed. He and Sam had quit school and gone to work, he him ­self into the grocery business. But he drifted from job to job'. Sam put it in words, “It’s not that you don’t mean right or that you’re lazy, but it seems like you have got to be moving.” Sam had always been good to him just the same as he had been good to Dad. Sam was dead now. He’d felt bad when Sam died. He’d moved around just as Sam said, and when he was young and strong, he’d managed pretty w en- harvesting, lum bering, sailing once on a boat. It’s a life that’s hard on a man, having no proper comforts. Once Sam had come out to visit Seemed the girls got tired of him and looked to steadier men. him. ‘You’re getting no yomiger. Maybe you should think of m arrying and settling down.” IN THE end, he’d had to help out ■•• Sam. It hadn’t been much he’d had to give SaUy when Sam died, but until Sam’s boy grew up, he’d stayed at that elevator and worked hard. Sally’d asked him to come and live with them , but Sally had a nice house and, after knocking around aU over, a m an gets kind of rough. It wouldn’t have been fitting, and he’d always tried to do what was fitting. It was in the hospital that Mrs. Cranston found, him . She’d given tiim the room dnd the chair and yesterday she’d given him the to­bacco and the pipe, although th« furnace was black out. "Never m ind the furnace," she'd said, "W e’ll get someone to look after that —just rest." She knew. She was his kind. They must have told her that he hadn’t long to go. It was nice here, dreaming of Alda by the fire, and, maybe, a kid or two, though he’d known well, it wasn’t fitting for him to be looking at Alda Rich after her father died.

Wild Oats Harvest Lesson for M atch 6, 1919 Dr. Foreman « LL RELIGIOUS teachers of “ Jesus’ tim e used parables. But the great difference between Jesus’ parables and those of his contem­ poraries, a s Rabbi Klausner says, is that h is were re- m em bered and theirs were not. Peo­ ple w ill remember a story w h o cannot take in a lecture. Jesus almost never told “wonder-tales.” His parables are not in the least like G rim m ’s fairy tales or Alice in Wonderland. Mostly they are about simple ordinary happen­ings, and practically always about living people or things. The Kingdom of God is a king­dom of law, not of happen-so or ot magic wands. Jesus was fond of comparing God’s King­ dom to growing plants. Every plant is a m iracle, it Is evidence of God’s creative power; but plants do not grow overnight, they grow by the laws which the Creator made in them. » * » Wild Sowing II S WE SAW last week, the most “ important feature of the Ideal World, or of any world, is the quali­ ty of the people in it. So most of Jesus’ parables were about people, one of the most famous being this one of the “prodigal son.” (“Prodi­ gal” of course does not mean wicked or repentant, but wasteful, reckless with money or other things.) You could find many faults in that young man. One of them—the fault that nearly kiUed him —was that if he had a calendar he never looked at it. If you take a good look at a calen­dar you w ill always notice that there is another day after this one— another month, another year. But the prodigal never thinks about to­ morrow, only about today. He sows his wild oats because he has fun doing it. He can say “So w hat?” fast enough but he has never asked the question, “—and then what?” Childish, isn’t it? Yet a ll about us are prodigals old enough to know better. Some people even argue that it is a good thing to sow w ild oats, on the theory that the prodigal gets it out of his sys­ tem and is afterwards a better man. iTonsense! Is it better for your ed­ ucation to spend several years learning things wrong? Is it better for a garden to let it grow up in weeds for the first three weeks? Is it better for a m an’s health to spend his childhood years on a sickbed? That’s no more silly than to say that a m an is m orally better for having been im m oral for a while first.* * • Prodfigal Nation TT HAS even been said that we have a prodigal-son civilization. Our. generation is pretty busy sowing wild oats. We waste the natural re­ sources of the earth. Drinking has become encouraged by law and made glamorous by the movies. We spend more on liquor than on schools. More money is spent on a single day’s horse-racing at a big track than a whole state or province spends on education in a yea^ The ties of m arriage have grown so weak, especially outside the Christ­ ian church, that it has not been long since one American city was boast- mg that its m arriage rate had “caught up with” its divorce rate!♦ * • W ild Harvest •PHE PRODIGAL son in Jesus’ * story went home—but he had to reap his wild harvest first. The modem prodigal, whether indivi­ dual or nation, seems to misunder­stand Jesus’ meaning. If God is thought of at all, he is pictured as a benevolent Being who after all doesn’t m ind our enjoying our little Eling. “He wiU forgive,” said Vol­ taire, “that’s his busmess.” That is a total misunderstanding of God. The Heavenly Father does love every one of his children, yes. But he w ill not hold back any one who insists on wasting his substance. He w ill not inter­fere with the m an’s freedom even if that freedom is wickedly used. He w ill not suspend his own law: “Whatsoever a m an soweth, that shall he also reap^” 'The prodigal w ill never get back what he threw away. Time that is killed stays dead. The poverty and pain created by personal or national extrava­ gance and intemperance, God will not m agically conjure away.

C. -WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS- Church Rap$ Mindszenty Verdict; Dewey Dons Attire of Liberalism; People Checleed Inflation Threat CARDINAL MINDSZENTY For a principle, life (EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these colamns, they are those of Western Newspaper Union’s netvs analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) MINDSZENTY: Gets Life Term The trial of Cardinal Mindszenty, prim ate of Hungary, was over and the verdict came as no surprise.The Cardinal v?as sentenced to life imprisonment on charges of trea­ son and black marketing. If there were an unexpected element in the outcome it was that he was spared. But at trial’s end even that hung in the balance. Cardinal Minds­zenty still could lose his life. Under Hungarian law, while his sentence of life could be appealed, the su­ preme peoples tribunal, last court of appeal, could increase the sever­ ity of the sentence which, in this case, could mean only death. THE CARDINAL was doomed from the outset. His plight had so stirred the Christian world that de­nunciations of the Hungarian gov­ ernment’s actions were almost imi- versal. Powerful western nations, through their leading churchmen, had attacked the trial procedure and this, in turn, had incensed the Communist-dominated Hungarian court to a point where the issue was never in doubt. It was generally believed that it was only reluctance to make a m artyr out of the Cardinal that averted the death penalty. Hungary lost no time in assail­ing American representatives who actually, or purportedly, sided with the cardinal. Among targets of these attacks were Cardinal Spell­m an, of New York, who delivered a scathing sermon against prosecu­ tion of Mindszenty, and Selden Chapin, U. S. envoy to Hungary. AMONG OTHER THINGS, Cardi­ nal Mindszenty was accused of gathering information for Chapin in a scheme to overthrow the Hun­garian government. Chapin im medi­ ately branded this charge as “pure fantasy.” General opinion was that in the prosecution of the Cardinal Rus­ sian communism had made its first great blunder. For in the move was discerned the fact that religion and religious concepts— whether Catholic or Protestant— would not be permitted to stand in the way of Soviet aims. The Russians had resurrected a policy which once before had so alarmed them that they had for­ sworn it. But now they were pub­ licly and dram atically recommitted to it—a policy of the Kremlin ver­sus Christ, and this tim e the Soviet Union was up against an adversary for whom there can be no defeat. INFLATION: People Curbed it The people, themselves, c a n claim m ajor credit for the recent check to national inflation. That is the conclusion of the fam ­ily economics bureau of the North­ western National Life Insurance company which conducted a study of the subject. THE STUDY developed that a slowdown, halt, or reverse ot six m ain factors in the 76 per cent rise from pre-war price levels had been brought about. It found that as late as last September, the public still was bid­ding frantically against each other for more goods than were being produced in many lines. But in the final two months of 1948, con­sumers suddenly quit trying to out­ bid each other. W ith industrial production in high gear and comparatively free from Interruptions, output and available supplies of most consum- • er goods were gaining steadily. Government bidding for grain in Europe, which ran grain prices up to record heights last year, slowed down as world grain production recovered. THE LONG RISE in wage-costs- per-unit of goods was slowing down, the study said.Continuing its listing of the six factors, the study reported that rapid expansion in money supply, both cash and credit, due to vast government borrowing, had • also slowed down.Borrowing by business for ex­ pansion was listed as the sixth fac­ tor which was slowed down because of tightened restrictions. But the first and foremost cause of the current price deflation, the study concludes, has been the halt in the public’s scramble for goods. By trim m ing their demands to fit within available supplier, the peo­ple have recaptured some of their normal control over prices. HELP GIVEN NAVAJOS COP'S DEWEY: New Liberalism For a man who was strangely reticent about plans while seeking the presidency of the United States, New York’s Thomas E . Dewey turned vocal and voluble in his Lincoln Day address in Washing­ ton. In the dim inutive governor’s re­ marks there was no apology for defeat and no supine bid for favor. Instead, he lashed out vigorously against party policy and advocated a purge of “anti-liberals” from GOP ranks. That there was a noticeable para­dox in his position apparently dis­ turbed him not at all. While cry­ ing for those who oppose “liberal progressive” policies to get out of the party, he struck out also at New Dealish elements inside the organization. Urging his party to stop bemoan­ ing the past, he recommended that it dedicate itself anew to forward- looking programs of social progress but without “trying to outbid the Democrats with the public money.” It was Dewey’s first public ad­ dress since his defeat last Novem­ber, and in it he reminded his lis­ teners that the last GOP platform expressed wholehearted belief in unemployment insurance, increased old-age assistance, broader social security generally, slum clearance and public housing, public develop­ m ent of water power, and • farm price supports. These words must have left some of his hearers stunned. Surely, they m ust have asked themselves, why weren’t some of these things men­ tioned during the m ultiple appear­ ances of their presidential candi­date last year? , But, Dewey, ever the realist in facing a situation, however he may react to it, conceded that the par­ty was split wide open in a fight between two extremes of thought. And then he uttered a rem ark which m ust have brought some sly smiles. He said: “What we ought to do . . . is to make it everlasting­ly clear to the country where we stand and why.” INCOME: Average $3,000 The average annual income of the American fam ily was clim bing.In 1947 the average was $3,000, highest ever recorded up to that time. The federal census bureau, which issued the report, found that in­ come was distributed among the country’s 37 m illion fam ilies in this manner: FOUR M ILLION h a d under $1,000; six m illion had $1,000 to '^ ,000; eight m illion, $2,000 to ,000; eight m illion, $3,000 to $4,000; four m illion, $4,000 to $5,000; three m illion, $5,000 to $6,000; three m illion $6,000 to $10,- 000, and one m illion, $10,000 or more. Thus only four m illion fam ilies— or slightly fewer than one out of each nine fam ilies in the country— had in that year the $6,000 which President Truman has suggested as the starting point for the income tax increase he asked Congress to consider. An interesting factor is that in one fourth of the fam ilies, women earned 25 per cent or more of the fam ily income, and more than two m illion fam ilies were supported en­tirely by female breadwinners. Who fared best in the average? Farm wage-workers came out best. The income of this class had jtm iped from an average of $300 in 1939 to $900 in 1947. GREEN LIGHT: Woils Faithfully Harry S. Truman, of Indepen­dence, Mo., is getting into a habit of popping up as a poll topper in this or that department. “Man of the year . . . most pop­ular, etc., etc ...” are some of the poll winning titles he already possesses. Now, he has come up with an­ other. M r. Truman is the nation’s No. 1 pedestrian. No less an authority than that National Safety Council has so designated M r. Truman. THE ASSOCIATION’S magazine. Public Safety, pictured Mr. Tru­ m an on its cover and commended him for his interest in safety. The traffic advisory board of the D istrict of Columbia hailed the President’s “firm decision to wait faithfully for the green light be­ fore crossing Pennsylvania avenue.” Mr. Truman turned down a sug­ gestion that a special traffic con­trol be established for his daily walks between his temporary resi­ dence at B lair House and the White House. M r. Truman said he preferred to obey the traffic signals “like any other citizen.” A-BOMB DATA: Reds Demand It The Russians just couldn't stay out of the news. But in an utterance which com­manded American headlines, they revealed themselves as almo.sl childishly naive. With the cold war as hot as it could be, short of the bullet stage, the Soviets had the gall to demand that the United States tell them how many A-bombs this country has and provide full data on armed forces and armaments. Never modest in demands, the Soviets set a deadline for receipt of this information It was March 31, 1949. HOWEVEK. ihcy wouldn’t De completely selfish about the matter They demanded that the report on these matters be made to the United Nations, cf which Russia is a member. Warren R. Austin, 0. S. delegate to the U. N., dubbed the Soviet res­olution a "succotash of all the beans and different constituents” Russia has put to the U. N. on the arms and atomic questions since fne world peace organization was termed. Even a non-betting citizen might be excused for risking a sawbuck that the Russians would have noth- ' ing but their pains in proposing that the U. S. bare its atomic war- DOtentials to the Kremlin. B-29'S: Direct Hits The arm y air force was making a point for its contention of its importance as an effective arm in itself. Four air force B-29’s scored direct hits on nine fighting ships attacking Kodiak island in the navy’s north Pacific war games. An airm an aboard one of the bombers said the form ation spot­ ted the nine ships 250 mEes south­ east of Kodiak and registered bombing hits in three runs at 20,- 000 feet. THE SHIPS were part of a navy task force attempting to retake the island from a theoretical enemy. The report was significant from two standpoints. First, because the air force termed it im portant enough to report. Since that was done, it was motivated, probably, by the fact that the air force wanted to show that it had demon­ strated the efficacy of the power of land-based planes in an off­ shore attack. Government Feeding Snowbound Indians Operating overland and by air, the federal government was en­ gaged in the business of caring for its snowbound Navajo wards. Caught almost as helplessly as cattle in the worst blizzard to strike the plains states in years, Indians on the vast Navajo reservation were being fed by a 300-mile life­ line m aintained by the government.With sheep and cattle starving and freezing, with horse transporta­ tion impossible, the Navajos were in actual distress. The government’s Indian service doctors reported the health situa­tion was fairly good among the 60,000 Indians living within the reservation area.Workers toiled with aD kinds of mobile equipment to get through to fam ilies cut off for six weeks.

BAUKHAGE W ashington Di9^St^ American 'Know How' Aids In Development of Nations By BAU KHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. W ASHINGTON— ^When the various departments of the government began to g a tW data for the President to be used as the basis for pre­lim inary legislation for his “bold new program” of establishing the machinery of w orld cooperation for the development of undeveloped countrie.<i, it was a stxrprise to m any to learn that m any of these agencies are by no means starting from .scratch. The department of agriculture of course, has had the longest and most successful record in this line— a good 10 years. In 1939 it had become all too evident that in a world where the free flow of trade was threatened by rising anti-democratic hegemonies, we had to look to our nearer neighbors for m any things which we did not produce at home, and which they could, but did not, produce themselves. Congress was quite w illing to authorize the department of agri­ culture to lend some ^ of its technicians to f r ^ other countries and to help such coun­ tries as were willing to cooperate to set up agricultural sta­tions for the purpose of putting American techniques into ac­ tion. F o r those w h o m ay have questioned the expenditure in this connection, there is some satis­ faction in noting that the experiment paid, from the standpoint of all concerned including the peoples of th e countries involved. On the average the United States puts out one dol­lar for each three doUars spent by the other countries. In 1943 Latin American countries were ex­pending $500,000. In 1948 they in­ vested $1,178,000. The countries in which the stations are located, an official of the department explained, supplies “land, buildings, as­ sociate technicians, office and service personnel, equipment and supplies available within the country, and funds for op­ erating expenses.” The United States supplies the “know-how” and the specialized equipment necessary. The plan pays out, the depart­ment explains, this way. Asistance in raising crops such as cocoa, cof­ fee, certain fibres, m edical plants, tea and rubber, has increased the revenue from them. They are prod­ ucts in demand in this country, we don’t or can’t raise. The dol­lars they earn are turned into many manufactured products which these countries ptu’chase from us. In the last special report issued by the American m ilitary govern­ ment on the Licensed Press of Ger­ many, we have an example of ani other type of experience which the United States has had in attem pting to provide the “know-how” for a foreign nation. Some ot the seeds which have been planted and which it Is hoped will grow, thanks to the application of American techniques, are those which should produce a free and democratic press In Germany. It would be sorriewhat rash to try to teach the Germans a ll about the publishing business. After all Gutenburg, who invented printing, was a German, and ever since his time the Germans have taken the lead in many of the mechanical processes connected with the pub­lishing business. But when the American occupation forces moved m, there was nothing that resem­ bled a free press in Germany, and If there had been it hardly could have flourished under the conditions which then existed. Even today the best we can expect is a “nearly free press” and that is what it admittedly is. In the United States zone and in Berlin there are now 56 newspapers licensed by the United States.-These papers own a cooperatively-oper­ated news agency. These publica­ tions are not, and never have been, “pre-censored.” They are care­ fully read by the m ilitary govern­ ment officials, and some have been suspended, after warning. But these occasions have been few. The mission of the m ilitary gov­ ernment in the field of the press, as planned and applied to date, has for its first point: Sturdy Table Ideal For Use in the Yard “To help democratically- minded and trustworthy Ger­ man publishers and editors to build an objective, free, demo­cratic press in the U. S. Zone In Germany and to prevent the resurgence of Nazism, mil­ itarism, racism, pan-German­ ism, or nationalism in the news­paper and news agency field.” The special report explains that controls which were imposed when the papers were first established in order to conserve scarce mater­ ials, supplies, and equipment and in order to train editors, publishers, and journalists in the tradition of a democratic, free press have been progressively lifted so that for two .years at least the U. S. zone has had a "nearly” free press. The eventual goal has been from the start an absolutely free press to the extent that this condition obtains in the United States and Great Brit­ ain or other democratic countries. W hat have been the results? In the view of the m ilitary govern­ ment: “Democratically-minded and trustworthy German editors and publishers have established a solid core of independent and democratic newspapers in the U. S. area of occupation. They have been encouraged to maln- tam their independence and ob­jectivity against all attacks and to resist the encroachment of government or of other spec­ ial interest groups and protect their right to bring the news ot Germany and the world to the people of Germany and to com­ment upon it.” The questiSn that rem ains, how­ ever, is this: when the controls and the existing regulations are re­moved, v/ill the Germans graduate from a “nearly free press” which the Americans have encouraged to a genuinely free press which Amer­icans consider an essential of democracy? W ill the Germans, who for centuries have accepted control and regimentation from above, be able to start out afresh and make use of the democratic techniques to which we have at­tempted to expose them? That is one kind of “know-how” it is hard to pass on.* * • Hayllff Wfiips Winter Blizzards The winter storms which attacked the range country and presented what looked for awhile like a m ajor tragedy to the cattle industry didn’t ttu'n out to be as bad as some people feared, but it m ight have been con­ siderably worse if it hadn’t been for what happened in the Pacific islands in World W ar II. Tiie Japs used to say that the American’s most terrible weapon was the bull­ dozer and, of course, the Sea-Bees wrote epic history on a clean slate. The same m ight be said of the air force, so far as the snowbound ranchers, especially those in Neva­ da were concerned. There the hay- lift took them over the first, worst hump of the storms. The Great Plains always have furnished hazards unknown to other parts of the North American continent. As C. Warren Thornwaite, soil conservation expert of the department of agriculture says ot the Great Plahis; “In a desert, you know what to ex­pect of the climate and plan accordingly. The same is true of humid regions. Men have been badly tooled by the seml- arid regions because they are. sometimes humid, sometimes arid, and sometimes a cross be­tween the two. Yet it is pos­ sible to make allowances tor this, too, once the climate is understood.” One of the worst blows in the winter storms was struck in the southwestern part of the area af­ fected, southern Nevada and north­ ern Arizona, where ordinarily there is all-winter feeding. There are low altitude ranges there which make it unnecessary, under norma] conditions, to provide winter feed. When these were cut off there just wasn’t any feed available. The early settlers who struck west were suspicious of the plains. They didn’t realize that the gama and the buffalo grass which cov­ered those plains and provided plenty of sustenance for the m il­ lions of buffalo which roamed them unmolested, could resist drought as efficiently as it does. For miles there would be no water in sight to the men in the prairie schooners, so they took for granted the land was not liveable and pushed on to the coast. The grass, as long as it was there—and the buffalo were good conservationists and didn‘) overgraze it—reduced the run-off after rains and prevented erosion. But the first adventurers had westward-ho written in their hats anyhow, and they headed toward the coast. Then came the farmers. Hie cattlemen were driven farther west, the plow broke the plains and dug the dust bowl. But agriculture is a closer-knit industry now and it had many means of assistance besides the arm y upon which to draw to help combat the recent blizzards—^help which the early' plainsmen didn’t have; the department of agricul­ture had its organization: the for­ esters had equipment easily pressed into service.

C. Predicts Grain Surplus FORTHRIGHT Secretary of Agri­ culture Charlie Brannan warned a closed-door senate session recently that the government m ay have to buy up 800 m illion bushels of grain tliis coming year. Reporting to a private session of the senate agriculture committee, Bramian explained that farmers are ^ overplanting grain and cotton, that K prices m ay go into a tailspin. In (his case the government wiU have to take the crops off the farm ers’ hands. The money to do this, Brannan cautioned, is lim ited. ‘‘Next year,” he declared, “ it is entirely possible we w ill have all of our worldng funds committed.” Though the secretary of agri- cultare could use more funds to protect support prices, it isn’t likely that congress w ill add to the four and three-quarter m il­ lion dollars now available. This means the govermnent probably w ill be forced to low­ er support prices. Sen. M ilton Young, North Da­ kota Republican, asked whether B rannan favored support prices kept as high as 100 per rent of paritj-, such as demanded by the Farmers Union. “It is desirable,” replied the sec­retary of agriculture, “ but looking at the other aspects of the price- support program, I don’t believe it is at a ll possible.” He pointed out that the agricul­ ture department not only couldn’t stretch its money that far, but that 300 per cent of parity would en­ courage even more overplanting. Result would be an oversupply of commodities supported by the gov­ernment and a scarcity of com­ modities not under the price-sup- port program. In the end, it would be the hcuse- wives who would pay the bill, cau­ tioned the secretary of agriculture. Abundant commodities would cost more because of the high prices paid by the government to farmers, while scarce goods would cost more because there wouldn’t be enough to go around. “The American people,” Bran­nan shook his head, “w ill not stand for extreme costs.” Thomas’ Elevators Senators were amazed a n d amused when Chairm an Elm er Thomas of Oklahoma, the specu- I?ting senator, put forward an idea for curbing speculation. The m an who was once up to his neck in the commodity m arket urged lay­ ing aside tremendous stocks of cot­ton and grain in order to discourage speculation. By taking large bulks out of circulation, Thomas urged, the speculators would have less to work with. One senator bit his tongue to keep from sm iling. For it was the very same Thomas who delivered speeches on the senate floor blast­ing the OPA for trying to restrict speculation, together with other speeches bound to influence the commodity m arket, following which his friends cashed in. When col­leagues started investigating Thomas, he scared off super-snooper Sen. Homer Ferguson of M ichigan with a letter threatening to expose some of Ferguson’s activities. NOTE—Maybe the reason Thomas has changed his tune, now favors government purchase of ware­ houses and grain elevators, is that his speculating friends. Dyke Cid- lum, has been urging this course of action. Brannan Says ‘No” Secretary Brannan didn’t think much of Senator Thomas’s sugges­ tion. He wants congress to remove the GOP-imposed restriction lim it­ing the storage space which the government can lease, but he did not want the government to go in­ to the business of buying or con­structing elevators a n d ware­ houses. The agriculture depart­ ment would rather help farm co­ ops build storage, he said. The secretary of agriculture also dropped this significant hint to the closed-door senatorial meeting: This year’s crop w ill not be used as a basis for figuring - future acreage allotments un­ der crop controls. Many farmers are planting heav­ ily in order to increase their acreage allotments, Brannan explained, just in case crop controls are ordered. But expended production won’t do them any good, because this year’s crop won’t be taken as the yard­stick. Citrus Fruit Florida’s Sen. Spessard Holland raised the question of price s u ^ ports for tree crops—such as Flori­ da’s citrus fruits, tung oil and pecans. He cited a letter from Ralph Trigg, head of production end m arketing, reporting that the agriculture departm ent contem- planted no supports for tree crops at the present. Brannan replied that these com­modities are indirectly supported by heavy government purchases for school lunches and the European recovery program. ft 0 »S fH O lP 4 ’4 * * Follow Directions for Bailing Success (See Recipes Below) Baking's Fun “Oh, if I could only bake like Mrs. UcConnell or Mrs. Larson,” wails many a homemaker, not knowing how really simple baking is. The cakes, rolls, bread and even simple things Uke cookies that bring warm exclamations of praise are really no more difficult to make than baking & potato, or cooking green beans. Yes, m adm it they’re a little more complicated, but certainly no more difficult. Surely, any one of you can sift flour into a cup or crum­ ble a cake of yeast in a bowl. WeU, those are some of the things you have to do when you bake, but taken step-by-step, all of which are simple, there is noth­ing much more difficult in baking. Measurements are important. W hy? So that you w ill always have the same results. Are you saying that grandmother never measured, still she had perfect results? W ell, grandmother had a pretty keen eye, and if her eyesight was a little b it off, perhaps ^ e blamed the results on the weather or the oven. You’ll never have to resort to that If you measure carefully and follow the same directions that gave you success the first time. Bread baking may seem like a difficult task, but I ’ve never known a beginner who didn’t bake an al­ most perfect loaf of bread. The rea­son is, perhaps, th at she reads and follows directions so carefully that she can’t possibly go wrong. Here’s how: W hite Bread (Makes 4 1-pound loaves) 2 cups scalded milk 4 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons salt3 tablespoons shortening 2 cakes compressed yeast softened in 2 cups lukewarm water 12 cups (3 pounds) flour Combine m ilk, sugar, salt and shortening. Cool to l^cewarm. Add the yeast softened in lukewarm nrater. Blend in flour. Knead dough on well floured board, using this method: Fold dough toward you, push away with a rocking motion, using the heels of the palms. Turn dough slightly and repeat the fold- ing-pushing motions, w ith a rhythm (this makes it fu n !). If dough sticks. LYNN SAYS Make Your Baking Easy: By following these tips that save time and energy and put an end to confusion: , 1. Read the recipe so you know what ingredients, utensils and metiiod are needed 2. Assemble all ingredients and utensils before starting to m ix so you need not stop after mixing is once begun. 3. Arrange ingredients and uten­sils for easy and efficient opera­ tion. Grease pans and start oven.4. Prepare those foods which require special preparation, such as cutting, mincing, grating and chopping. 5. Measture ingredients before m ixing making sure directions are followed carefully. Flour should be sifted before measuring; brown sugar should always be packed tightly.6. Use as few u t e n ^ as pos­ sible to save dishwashing. If dry ingredients aro measured first, the same measuring equipment may then be used for “wet” foods such as m ilk, melted fat, etc. 7. Eggs should be beaten, m ilk scalded and fa t melted (in those recipes which ask for such prepa­ration)) just before beginning to ™8.' Mix recipe in order directed and by method described. Check after finishing to see that you have done the preparation as re­ quired.

New 'Cow Bomb' Used [n Spraying Animals Dry DDT Crystals Now Practical for Spray A new anim al disinfectant device called the “iscomist cow bomb,” is now available for use on live­stock. The cow bomb is used to apply a deposit of dry DDT crystals to the hair and hide of livestock for protection agamst the horn fly, house fly, stable fly, cattle lice, ticks, mosquitoes and certain other msects. Dry DDT goes into suspension in water less readily than any other form and withstands rain more desirably. It contains no oil to cause biffning or to help DDT pene­trate the hide. The DDT particles are microscopic in size and thus a given amount covers a greater area than other forms. It is said one icomist cow bomb wUl treat approximately 100 cattle with the recommended 30 second treatment. It provides protection for cattle on pasture for about three weeks im- der average conditions. To help prevent lice infestation, prophylac­ tic treatm ent of a ll additions to the herd is recommended. The iscomist cow bomb can be used on dairy and beef cattle, hogs, horses and sheep.‘The procedure recommended for cows is to cover the body of the anim al w ith paint sprayer motions at from 12 to 18-inch distances; for legs only 6-8 inches. Total time per cow is about 30 seconds. Heat Hurts Cows American dairy farmers have learned that some discontented cows, like some discontented wom­ en, can be expensive as well as unpleasant. Most of the cow’s troubles ’can be traced to heat and hum idity. A cow, unlike a human being, can perspire only • through the mouth. So when the temperature and hu­m idity inside a bam get high, the anim al becomes uncomfortable and stubborn—particularly at m ilking tim e. The U. S. departm ent of agricul­ture says an average cow gives off almost a pint of water every hour through breathing. In ad­ dition to the high hum idity caused by this breathing, a cow has an extremely high body temperature. During the winter months when the cows are in the barn most of the tim e, this combination results in the generation of an enormous amount of water vapor and heat. When the warm, moisture-laden heat comes into contact with the cold waUs, condensation and frost is formed. The net result to the farmers is rotting beams, joist and siding; a loss of hay becaiise of the mold created by moisture and frost; m ilk contamination, disease, par­ticularly among the young stock; reduction of m ilk production be­ cause of the discomfort to cows, and farm ers are forced to work under im pleasant conditions. A sim ple solution to a ll these costly problems is an automatic cooling unit which is proving tremendously popular w ith d ai:^ farmers in general and cows in particular. Superphosphate Held Best For Sugar Beet Fertility ■ Ordinary superphosphate is the best source of phosphate when used as a fertilizer for sugar beets, wheat and barley, according to Dr. Sterling B.

BENSON Pttsidm —HatdiKf Ctllege Seatcg. An American Tragedy Now and then, a sorry scene is staged in the dram a of American life. I refer to the tragic denial ol 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 pros­ perity 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 lib­ erty 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 denounced the idea ol profit 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 impossibili­ties! Do you know what commmuty is? It is not individual freedom, not the right to your own decisions, not the exercise of self reliance. That shadowy wording means: state con­trol of everything. “ Community” is common ownership; it is Commu­nism. This is amazing, for a religious group to caU for a state dictator­ ship system — for Communism it­self. 'Economic NonsenseOut in California last year a very large and influential group of churchmen accepted a conference report wliich lashed out against "the un-Christian motivation of in­ dustry 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 pres­ ent 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 ripht 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, anywher^e at any time. It calls for the overthrow of the American sys­tem. That is exactly what w ill have to take place if the profit-motive is ever discarded.Keep Our 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 those 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 place confidence in the religious people of America. AU together, we must preserve this nation. Have you heard Dr. Benson and theradio drama **Land of the Free”?. Check your local station for time. Telescopic View 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 great ocean of air By getting to the top of a mountain a mile or more high, we leave beneath us fully half of the dirt of the atmos­phere. Even then, hov.-ever, there i.e turbulence in that ocern of air th.^t stretches above us, and obiects view­ed through telescopes dance and squirm and refuse to stay sharply focused. The larirer the telescope, the wider a beam of air through which the light mu.'st come, so the more dis­turbance. In general, a moderate telescope gives a better view of a planet than a very large telescope does. w o K imASMAO Bv GEORGE S. BENSON Picsldmt—Matdliig CsUeft Searcf.

The average operating consumption of the freezer unit is imder 100 kilowatt hours per month, and it will cost from $2 to $3 to run each month, depending upon the electricity rate. Business, Big and Little! You cannot create a make-believe feud out of the mythical question of Big Business vs. Small Business. It won’t hold up, this attempt to make “bad business” out of business that’s big. We need many of them small, but we also want some of them big. I recall Emersc.i’s fabled quarrel of the mountain and the squirrel, in which the squirrel made the point: “If I cannot carry forests on my back, neither can you crack a n u t” Both big and little enter­ prises belong in America’s system. Out of the desire of people for goods and for services, our business exists. Private business, generally, is taken for granted. Yet, many un­ thinking people consider “Big Busi­ness” a certain bogeyman. They fail to see that big business is simpiy a lot of people doing things together tliat they could not do S2perately. Cat Them Down? We sometimes act as if we expect­ed the government to whittle all big industry down to size. Yet, what would our fate have been after Pearl Harbor, without large and well- equipped industries? In war, we re­lied upon our bigness. And big Industry was well-supported by thousands of small firms. Now, in peacetime, America looks to a well- financed and managed industrial community for continued prosperity and plentiful jobs. A business keeps pow ing amid strong competition if it pleases cas- tomers by giving them what they want at fair prices. W hile doing this it must pay its workers a competi­ tive wage, and also earn a profit on the money which owners of the tools have entrusted to it. If a busi­ness does these things, it may ex­ pect to grow and be of even greater service to its public. In America, any kind of business must merit public approval or fold up. Each a Customer Big industry can do some of the big jobs better. Suppose you had to depend upon a one-man workshop ftx* your automobile. Experts say it would cost you $50,000 to have your car built that way. Instead, large companies manage the mass produc­ tion of thousands of parts (some of which are made by smaU firms), so that an assembly line rolls out the cars. This requires millions of dollars of capital, and thousands of workers. Not all business should be big. Many needs are best served by small business. Actually, these firms are not always competitors of big busi­ ness, for the big fellow and the little fellow can be partners in industrial activity. Then each one, big or small, profits from the efforts of the other. Here, we’ll find parts used by big firms being made by small ones. There, we’ll find the material of a large producer being fabricated by a smaU m ill. Each is a customer of the other. Fulling Together It is because all of us have worked, and traded together, that living standards in America are the highest in the world. Many of our biggest businesses form the base of this pyramid of prosperity, making it possible for many small businesses to grow and develop. When our en­ terprises, big and little, have pros­ pered, everybody has shared in the rewards. What system could bring us more? Have you heard Dr. Benson _and theradio drama "Land ot the Free"?

Air Blali Service After viewing the potentialities of the aii-pIane during World War I, congress appropriated $100,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1918, to establish an expenmental air mail route. W ith anr.y pilots doing the fly­ ing, the first scheduled trip was launched May 15, 1918, between New York and Washington via 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 op­ eration. Out of this humble bsjrin- nlng developed coast-to-coast air mail service. On May 15, 1919, mail took to the air between Cihica.^o and Cleve­land; on July 1, 1919, between Cleve­ land and New York; on May 15, 1920, between Chicaso and Omaha. Then on September 8, 1920, the Omaha-San ^ Francisco leg was added. An airway* now linked the Pacific and Atlantic corsts for the first time—the U. S. air mail Route No. 1. Small, out of the way comer of garden or yard makes a suitable site for a compost pile. Vegetable tops and trimmings make suitable com- t>ost, but the compost pile should not be looked upon as a substitute for the garbage can. Fats in particular are to be avoided. There is no hard and fast difference between compost and artificial manui-e. 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 medi­um for the starting of seeds and transplanting plants. GEORGE s. BENSON Prcsidml—NiirdjM} CeUcge Seamj. Arhmsns 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 owntd 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 ern 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 of 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? Bisk and Venture There is hardly anybody who would want to lay down ten or twenty m illion dollars for a new industrial venture. Few have that much money, and fewer still woiild want to risk that much at a time. But there are many of us who would Uke to invest a little, hoping for a small return 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 well, the company may pay divi­dends to those who put up their money. Money Working There are perhaps 500,000 corpo­ rations in America. Some of them are smaU. Others are equipped and financed by thousands of people for the purpose of doing big jobs weU. Anyone who buys stocks or bonds is a direct investor. There are per­ haps 20 m illion such persons, and they hardly could be called “bloated capitalists.” About half of all corporation dividends go to persons with annual incomes under $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 tliree 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 inter­ested in the welfare of corporations. That is true because insurance companies and banks invest in vari­ous industrial enterprises the money they receive from you. In this addi­ tional way, ownership of corpora­ tions is spread throughout the land. Management, labor, fnvestors—all work together to make business and industry hum with production. Everyone benefits. This is the mira­ cle of America’s free enterprise. Save yon heard Dr. Benson and theradio drama “Land of the Free"? Checlijoar local itstton for time.

This irecord 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.

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 liirge basket-like traps and trans­ported to depleted lands where beaver dams are needed. No sooner than given a new job—and tliey like a new undertaking — these sharp- toothed workers start ja w in g down trees for dam building material.

R4 It is great to honor God. This should be the aim. desire, plan and purpose of man. We should honor Him because He created us. He made us in His own Image and like, ness. "W hat is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, thou visitest him? For thou has made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.” (Psalni 8:4, .s). For the honor God has bestowed upon us we should honor Him supremely. We should honor God for onr health. What a great blessing health i«. No doubt there are millionaires who would give all they posses if they could buy good health with if. They can’t. Good health is a great blessing from God. ^ We should honor God because He gives tis a sound mind. This is to be Kppreciated more than we realize. Just visit some insane in­ stitution and behold the mentally deranged. How pitiful! Maybe manv of them failed to take care ot their health, and by wrecking them* selves mentally. | We ought to honor God. love and reverence Him for the right use of onr minds. thus taking care of our bodias and minds. We should honor God for our homes, onr business, or that which brings us a livelihood, if we are io the right business. If home and business Is not what it should be, then we ought to se»k God’s help aud obey His directions. It is our privilege to have Christian homes ind engage io business wherein God can be our partner. This pleases God We should honor God for our couatrv. We lire in a Bible land. We live in a land of cbnrches, and a land where there are thousands o> Ghristiau people. Think of what It would mean to live in a countrv where God is unknown, and where 'here are no Bibles and Christian oeople, and where millions bow to -leaf, dumb idols a n d worship >bem. Their prayers and heart, cries are not heard; they carry their own burdens; they get no re* lief from their sins; they suffer in bndy, mind and soul, Tbelr god’s can’t help them. Onr God forgives our sins when we call upon Him, sanctifies and saves us from sin, and prepares us to live here and hereafter. We should honor Him for our souls, and with onr souls consecrated fully unto Him. Every­ body oaghs to honor God. To dc so brings glorious rewards, but to fail will biing a tragic cou.sequence The Cocktail Hour The Devil laughed with unholy Riee. " I am winning more followers than her.” said he. “ The temperance folks tried to curb my power, So tben I invented the cocktail hour” The elders mix driuka of whisker and gin. And kindly invite the young folks in. Then they start away in high.pow. ered cars And kill more folks than are killed by wars. Then the elders wring their hands and say, "W hy is our youth so reckless today? And-the Devil mutters, with grim­ ace soul, "Y o u can blame it on the cnck. tail hour.” SAM M ORRIS.

Less Than Tliird of Farms Made Agricultural Record American agriculture’s production record during, the war and since was accomplished largely by less than a third of the nation’s 5.9 million farms with a third of the farm population. This is'shown in a department of agriculture study of farms by total value of production. The survey breaks down farms into seven broad dasslfications, -nmning from large- scale operations such as cattle ranch­ es or big mechanized grain farms down to groups classed as nominal units representing mostly residential homes or places where elderly farm­ ers have retired. The figures are bas­ed on the 1945 census of agriculture. The study shows that approximatr- ly 1.7 million farms, represeriting 2: per cent of the total number of farms, turned out 76 per cant of the gross value of farm production in 1945. This means that 4.2 million farms con­ tributed only 24 per cent of the gros: value of farm production in that year Products raised and consumed on the farm are not included. The group that made the biggest single contribution to supplying food and fiber for the nation and to help feed a hungry world since tlie war is the medium fi^ ily farms. There wer<? approximately 1.2 million of these in 1945 with a population of around 5^- million, or nearly a fifth of the tota! fa m population. They raised 30 per cent of the total gross value of farm production. U. S. Makes Strong Effort To Control Cattle Disease Prevalence of foot and mouth dis­ease in Mexico has brought about in­ tensive efforts to Iceep the disease out of this country. The bureau of animal husbandry maintains a strict quarantine against all livestock and meat products from Mexico. It also is cooperating with Mexican authorities in efforts to stamp out the disease in that country. Carefully selected range riders and inspectors, traveling by horse or truck, patrol the border to prevent importation of livestock into this eountry. When Me;:ican livestock iss Ue Rio Grande and come out on American soil, the patrolmen prompt­ ly seize and destroy the animals. Fences have been built along some stretches of the river by private in­ terests to prevent stock from enter­ ing this coimtry. Sometimes attempts are made to smuggle animals and meat across the border, and the psC- trol'seizes and destroys the animals or meat. Not only is the border patrolled by men in motor vehicles or on horses, but also airplanes are used to inspect the border area. When an aerial ob­server detects a livestock movement or other signs on the Mexican side of the border that bear watching, he quickly notifies the ground patrol. Out of Date The young husband eyed the gray­ ish concoction with misgiving. Bravely he dug a spoon into the mystery and began to eat. After a few moments he straight­ened himself, eased his collar a little, and asked: "What do you call this, darling?” “It's date pudding, dear.” beamed his wife “Oh, yes,” be breathed, “but—er —what date?"

But one day she came very close to it. She needed a new maid, to replace Mag­gie, who was getting married. A perky young applicant seemed to have all the right answers, and Aunt Sarah had about made up her mind to hire her, when her native caution caused her to inquire; “Now, if you work here, I suppose you can be reticent about what you see and hear in this house?” This one required a little thought: so the girl chewed her thumb and considered. Finally she said: “Well, ma’am I can try. Just how much is therr here to be reticent about?” Sales Talk Business was slow in the little Kentucky town when the local bar­ ber stopped a heavy-bearded moun taineer in front of the shop anti said: “Come’on in and let me sel you a..shave, Zeke." “Nope,” said the older man. “1 vowed I wouldn’t shave till I killed off young Elmer Pike, the last n( the tribe I’m feudin’ with.” “Haven’t you got no pride?” ar­ gued the barber, pomting to the older man’s beard. “Would you want folks sayin’ that you was tryin’ to kill your enemy from ambush?” Polite Refusal “No, I can’t marry you," said the smart young lady to her suitor, “but I’ll always admire your good taste.” NOT INTENTiONAL During a railroad emergency, a volunteer engineer performed the reiiiark^ble feat of bringing the train in 35 minntes ahead of tim e.

ALWAYS A FIRST 'HM E A New Mexico dude ranch host was apologizing to his guests tor what he called “an unusual spell” of wind that scalped a saddle shed blew down numerous trees and kept the dudes indoors. His guests looked skeptical. Everywhere they wenl, they said, people always claimed the weather was “unusual.” “But this windy spell is unusual, " insisted the leathery faced ranch man dryly. “Why, you can see for your.self it’s blown dowTi trees that never was blowed down before!” L ^y Lnck Leads Finders To Many Buried Treasures Geological knowledg* Is handy In hunting a gold mine and archeologi­ cal lore does no harm when digging for buried citiea But some of histoir's moat exciting finds have come about through sheer chance. Involving peo­ple whose minds were on other things. The recent experience of striking English miners, who discovered valu­able fossil remains while passing their "stay-down” time chipping at the mine roof, recalls the odd fact that the first'black diamonds to serve in­ dustry were turned up in a door weight. The homely, black substance, whic!. is a' form of carbon but infinitely harder and purer than coal, seemed of little consequence when it was first discovered in Brazil in the 1800's, notes National Geographic society. Then an Amsterdam diamond cui- ter tried powdering a bit of it from his souvenir door weight to polish a difficult stone. It worked so well that eventually its use spread to industrial drills and other tools requiring hard­ ness and precision. Lady Luck often looks over the shoulders of farmers and fishermen An Italian peasant digging a well ir 1748 struck some ruins which turned out to be the lost city of Pompeii A few years ago, an ESnglish farmei plowed' up a priceless collection oi early Roman silver which had been missed by archeologists digging In the same field. Origin of Peeping Tom Explained by Researcher First “Peeping Tom” really had something to peep at, according to historical research conducted for Wiorld Book encyclopedia. Dr. George F. Reynolds, Cniversity of Colorado, explains that Lady Go- diva, the gal who rode horseback clad only in her flowing locks, is responsi­ble for giving our language the name ■’Peeping Tom.” According to the legend, the very modest and refined Lady Godiva ask­ ed her husband to reduce the taxes he imposed as Lord o f. Coventry. ’The lord snorted that he would reduce taxM on the day she rode down the main street clad only in her birthday suit. To her lord’s amazement and the consternation of the village wives. Lady Godiva prepared to make her famous ride. The village ladies ap­ pealed to the local boya to stay in­doors and spare Lady Godiva any em- barrassment. The legend relates that all the vil­lagers went indoors and closed the shutters. The men modestly avoided even coming close to the shutters— that Is, aU except Tom the tailor—he peeked! The story goes; that the tailor’s peeking was discovered because he was struck blind. For centuries a fair was held to celebrate Lady Godiva’s heroism, and the name "Peeping Toni” has become a standard phrase tn the English language. V. S. Seed Export Durtaig the war, exports of seeds to Europe increased greatly despite the suhnwine menace and other trans- portation difficulties. The U. S. gov­ernment became the largest buyer and exporter of seeds. lio m the fs!' of 1942 until mid-November of thi.- year the commodity credit corpora­ tion shipped more than 367 million pounds of field seeds and many mil­ lion pounds of vegetable seeds. More seed com than any other seed was exported by the government It was foUowed.by other seeds in this order: Austrian-Winter peas, wheat, vetch, -timothy, rye, orchard grass, cotton, ryegrass, Sudan grass, peanuts, red clover, sorghum, sugar beet, Ken­ tucky bluegrass, and crested wheat- grass. Large quantities were also shipped of alfalfa, alsike clover, white clover, mixtures of alsike and white clover, bromegrass, meadow fescue, miUet, redtop, hemp, rape, soybeans, and sunflower seed. Study Blood Parasites " A group of scientists of the Cali­ fornia division of fish and game and the Hooper foundation of the Uni­versity of California have completed a two-year study of blood parasites In birds in the Bakersfield area. The scientists were particularly concern­ ed with mosquito-bome bird malaria] parasites, in hopes that information gained m ight be helpful in their stu­ dies of encephalitis in the Bakers­field area.

Our County And Social Security Bv Mrs. Ruth G. Duftv. Manager. Social Security for children rests on a partnership of family effort, government services, and private facilities. The welfare of children is a dominant consideration in the achievement of our hope for a bet­ ter world. The present Social Se­ curity provisions represent an im­ portant step toward this achieve­ ment. W hen children are left with no one to support them, how are they to be kept from want? How can their own families give them the kind of home and care that child- ren need? How can the home life of America’s children be stren­ gthened? These questions are im­ portant to all of us. They are im­ portant to every community and to the entire nation. Today’s children are tomorrow’s citizens. The whole country has a stake in their security. Through the Social Security Act the Government helps families to protect their own children. W e administer one phase of the Act —O ld Age and Survivors Insur­ ance. This insurance plan pro­ vides a wav by which a wage ear­ ner maV build up protection for his children. W hen he works on a job covered under this system, a worker contributes a small regu­ lar amount from his earnings (one per cent), which entitles his fam ily to monthly insurance payments under certain circumstances. Our plan is designed primarily to protect children whose fathers die at any age, and children un­ der 18 whose fathers receive Old- Age Insurance. Children of work­ ing mothers who die insured may be entitled to benefits if they are not living with or being support­ ed by their father. In most cases adopted children and step-child- ren of a wage earner are included under the program. Monthly sur­ vivors’ benefits are payable to mothers as well as for the work­ er’s child or children in her care. Claims for monthly insurance benefits are taken at our office, 437 Nissen Building. Winston-Sa­ lem, N. C. Payments are not made automatically. A claim for benefits must be filed before pay ment can be-made. The workers family should contact the nearest Social Security Office when the worker dies; the worker should get in touch with the office whi-n he reaches age 65.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. -WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS- Congress Gets Control Proposals Which Would Curb Wages, Prices; Doctors Offer hblic Health Plan Absolved W illiam W. Remington, who was an official of the commerce department, was absolved ot dis­loyalty charges following an al­ leged link to Soviet interests. He was given a new job with th^ de­partm ent, but with salary re­ m aining at $10,000 annually. (EDITOR’S NOTE; When opinions are expressed In these eolnmns, they are Oiose of Western Newspaper Onion’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) CONTROLS: Needed or Not? The admmlstration at Washington has made its move for price and wage controls. It has asked congress to place ceilings on prices which threaten to go above last December’s level. It also has proposed creation of a six-man board to regulate wage in­creases. Already, however, it was becom­ing increasingly clear to the people that constantly shifting factors are changing so swiftly that some of the m ajor points in the administra­ tion’s legislative program m ay be­come obsolete before they are called for consideration. FOR INSTANCE, the downward trend in prices would indicate that a proposal for price control, except In some few isolated cases, m ight even appear ridiculous. Consequent­ly, continuing decline in prices would naturally knock out any vali­ dity of wage hike demands.The sincerity of the administra­tion in this respect m ight be open to question, but not seriously so.Practical politicians and people who realize the need for application of politics in government proce­dures win understand that whether th e government actually wants what it asks is somewhat beside the point. The real point is that these meas­ures were pledged by President Truman in his campaign, and it was as early as inauguration day that administration leaders stated publicly they meant to implement campaign pledges in every way. Now the adm inistration is going through the motions of seeking to have adopted a ll the legislation the President promised the voters when he was a candidate for the office.A QUICK KXJN-DOWN of the ad­ m inistration’s legislative-potential w in show that civil rights, tax in­ creases, outright repeal of the Taft- Hartley law and socialized medi­ cine, all admittedly needing some treatment, are in for a rough time in congress.That being the case, it is diffi­ cult to understand how M r. Truman and his advisers could make price and wage controls stick should there be no apparent need for either. PUBLIC HEALTH: Physicians' Plon There would be discussion of mo­ tive, of course, but whether ac­ tuated by the belief that socialized medicine was an undesirable alter­ native, or by a sincere desire to widen their field of service, Amer­ ica’s physicians had come up with a plan.OBVIOUSLY, the plan was a counter move in the developing battle over socialized medicine, and in it one could see some concession to th e bureaucratic ambitions which, it is claimed, motivates the socialized medicine effort. First, the doctors through their American Medical association’s board of trustees, urge creation of a federal department of health, with cabinet status, which would be authorized to promote the general welfare by aiding and fost«ing pro­grams in the field of health." This department also would contribute to individual, fam ily and commu­ nity well-being.Briefly, the program would in­ clude;PROMPT DEVELOPMENT of diagnostic facilities; health centers and local public health units; health centers and hospital services; com­ prehensive health education pro­ grams; integration of veterans’ m edical care and hospitalization with other medical care and hos­ pital programs; greater emphasis on the program of industrial medi­cine, and adequate support, vrith funds free from political control, of the medical, dental and nursing schools and other institutions nec­essary for the training of special­ ized personnel required in the pro­ vision and distribution of m edical care.In its scope the doctors’ program read like Mr. Truman’s “bold new program” for betterment of world living. But its very generalities and extent m ight be the factors to doom it.W ith immediate medical care the greatest need of too m any Ameri­cans unable to pay for it, the pana­ cea would have to be immediate and visual. Examined, even close up, the doctor’s plan appeared to offer little toward the solution of the issue of socialized medicine. MERCI TRAIN: And Kisses Although no finished hand at the game, Kentucky’s Gov. Earle Clem­ents was not to be outdone in the amenities incident to arrival of the French' Merci train in Frankfort. BUSSED heartily on the cheek by French representative Andre Picard,Governor Clements bussed right back; displayed no chagrin. And, in addition to the buss, Picard received a commission as a Ken­tucky colonel. DEFENSE PACT: Gilded Lily There were puzzling things going on in Washington as the proposed north Atlantic security pact came up for discussion.As any schoolboy knows, only con­ gress can declare war. Yet Senator Vandenberg of the foreign affairs committee was quoted as saying that if any pact were drawn he ex­ pected such a pact to “reserve to congress the complete right of de­ cision” on what to do about an armed attack. THAT STATEMENT of Vanden- berg’s amounted to nothing more than a thick coat of gilt on the lily. The pact could do no less than “re­ serve” such decision, because the constitution of the United States is quite clear as to what governmen­ ta l body in the United States has the authority to declare war. The constitution does not relegate that power to a senate committee or to the state department. The point is made only to high­light the trend of official thinking in federal circles. Despite the con­ stitutional provision. Senator Van­denberg and apparently those who draft the pact, are “w illing” to let congress make any decision on go­ing to war. There were other puzzling factors connected with the pact. Both Sena­ tor Vandenberg and Senator Con- nally declared that signing the pact would not com m it this nation to war in the event another pact signatory were attacked.IF THAT were the situation, the critical queried, what would be the use of the pact? The senators had an answer for that one—an answer reminiscent of American thinking before Pearl Harbor. They pointed out that, as Vandenberg put it, “in my opinion the mere form al recognition of this community of interest in the event of an armed attack on the Atlantic community—without another word in the treaty—would be an infinite assurance against World W ar III.” W hat the senator was intim ating in effect was that with the United States a signatory to the pact, any nation would be afraid to jum p either on the U.S. or another mem­ ber. THE SENATOR’S M E M O R Y seemed to be waning. Japan wasn’t “afraid” to attack Pearl Harbor. That was World W ar II. Germany wasn’t “afraid” to sink the Lusi- t ^ a . That was World W ar 1. The “fear” bulwark hadn’t done so well on two occasions. D id Senator Vandenberg have some special information, or in­ tuition, th&t it would work better to prevent World W ar m ?

I felt just like I was walking on air. The house looked like a greenery. AU those flowers and even an orch­ id. It was wonderful.” About reaching 102 . . . well, the lady who did it, Mrs. Katherine G. Lyon, said she was in favor of exercise and fresh air. “It’s a ll a matter of chewing your food properly, and getting plenty of fresh air. Anyone who is 102 years old and can’t walk at least two miles ought to go to a doctor and find out what’s the m at­ter with them . . . I ’m always ready to go ” Mrs. Lyon did not stipulate that walking two m iles a day was the entire answer. Show Human Touch THREE DISHN GU ISHED states­men were on hand to greet the French Gratitude Train when it arrived in Washington—Vice Pres­ ident Barkley and his former col­leagues, Senators Connally of Tex­ as, Democrat, and Vandenburg of Michigan, Republican. These three have served in the senate together for more than a quarter of a century. Sometimes they have been on opposite sides of bitter political battles, but they have never let party politics inter­fere with personal friendship. They know each other as well as they know the senate—which is better than almost anyone else in Wasli- ington. How much Senator Vanden­ burg knows about the early boy­hood of Senator Connally of Texas is his secret.But at the very conclusion of the ceremonies welcoming the G rati­ tude Train, as the venerable Tom Connally took a pair of shears and snipped the red, white and blue rib­ bon sealing the District of Colum­bia boxcar, his old friend, the sen­ ator from Michigan, whispered to the Vice President of the United States: “ I ’ll bet ihat’s not the first tim e .Tom has broken into a boxcar.” Acheson Wary of Bevin It is n t being advertised outside the state department, but British’ foreign m inister Bevin didn’t put his best foot forward with the new U. S. Secretary of state just a few days after Dean Acheson took of­fice. Bevin sent what amounted to a frantic SOS to Acheson for help to get him enough votes to squeak by an attempted cen­ sure of British foreign policy in the house of commons. But after Acheson helped to get him the votes, Bevin, In effect, bit the hand that fed him . Just before the debate on Pales­ tine, Bevin was worried sick that the Labor party m ight be defeated and have to resign. P art of the criticism was because Britain’s policy in Palestine was upsetting American relations. Therefore, Bevin hit on the idea of telling par­ liam ent that Britain and the United States had settled their differences and now agreed completely on Palestine. Bevin actually wrote out his re­ marks in advance and cabled them to the state department January 25 to make sure Secretary Acheson had no objection. Bevin also ap­ pealed to Acheson to issue an Amer­ican statement backing up Bevin on Palestine. The state depart­ ment OK’d Bevin’s remarks and gave him the go-ahead—and that statement was the trum p card which helped him w in a vote of confidence by a m argin of only 90. Otherwise the Labor govern­ ment m ight have been defeated. However, Bevin extemporaneous­ ly inserted some other remarks in his speech, criticizing American pol­icy. This made Acheson so irate he flatly refused to issue the sub­ sequent statement on Palestine supporting Bevin. As a m atter of fact, Acheson also considered protesting to Bevin about his Amer­ican criticism , but finally decided to forget the whole thing. He de­ cided, however, that he would think twice before helping Bevin out of a jam again. Probe Dodgers’ Airfield It isn’t often the government gets mixed up in big-league baseball, but for some tim e the civil aero­ nautics authority has been probing the Brooklyn Dodgers’ spring train­ ing camp at Vero Beach, Florida. Actually, the Dodgers are riot in­ volved. It’s the city of Vero Beach, which the government is interested in, because of a compli­ cated transaction b y , which Veto Beach is suspected of leasing a gov­ernment au:field to the Dodgers at a handsome profit. The airfield is being used by the Dodgers for their fair-weather training, for an of­ ficial charge of $5 per year plus the proceeds from an exhibition game. The airfield is owned by the government and leased to the city of Vero Beach for nothing, with the stipulation that any income is to be tised for the airfield’s upkeep and improvement. CAA officials now snspect that a lot more than $5 a year is being paid by the Dodgers for the airfield. W hat makes them suspicions is a statement by Mayor M errill P . Barber that the city had “ entered into a five-year renewable lease with the Brooklyn baseball club at an estimated income of $12,000 (annually).” Later, city officials began to search for extra pillows upon which the Dodgers’ heads were to rest at night. The government supposedly was turning over a certain number of piUows with the airfield. And airport, .manager Bud Holman, ap­ pealing for more piUows, com­ plained; “This is reaUy putting us in a bad position, as we have a 10- year contract with the Brooklyn ball club which should bring us in from $20,000 a year upward.” ^Vashmgton D i9 6 ^ G O P Tries to Face Facts: tChanges Are Sure to Come By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. W ASHINGTON— don’t w ant to get into semantics but I have to say something about the word “conservative”, purely as a word, if I am going to ^scuss some of the undersurface terms in W ashington re­ cently.If it is fair to define a conservative as a person who has something to conserve, and I think the American people are naturally conservative in that sense, when you take away that something, Americans w ill join the radicals or anybody else to win back what was taken away. BAUKHjVOE The m ajority of the people don’t want a free lunch. They just want a chance to earn enough to pay for their own lunch. But if they can’t get lunch any other way, they’ll take it how and where they can get it. That is a les­ son which certain conservatives (in the political sense) are learning slowly.Last month Tom Dewey retu rned from his political grave to say at a Re­ publican L in coln Day dinner that if the GOP tried to go back to the 20’s, it would become the "deadest pigeon in the coun­ try.” The burden of his theme was that the party was split wide apart and it had better get to­gether, slongh off one extreme element which wants to “turn the clock back” and the other extremists who want to “ out- promise the Democrats.” He de­ manded that the party stand for “ social progress under a flourishing system of private en­terprise where every human right is expanded.” Those op­ posed to “liberal and progres­ sive policies” should get out of the party. Here again we run into semantics —what is “progressive,” what is “liberal”—for that matter, what is Sylvia? To one an owl, to another a nightingale. To the pinks, a “liberal’' is a reactionary. To the conservative a “liberal” is a red. Dewey said that the Republican party (or the party as he sees it) believes in “unemployment insur­ ance, old age assistance on an in­creased basis, in broader social se­ curity generally, in slum clearance, in public development of our water resources, in farm price supports, in vigorous protection of the rights of labor.” And he seems to recognize that a ll of us, Republicans included, w ill have to take certain things for granted. Certain social and politi­ cal changes wliich we m ay not like any more than our grandfathers liked a lot of “new-fangled” ideas tJiey met with, like the safety razor, say.The federal reserve board, the income tax, women’s suffrage—all were once considered little less than the instruments of the devil him self by a lot of people who never think twice about them now. W hat policy the federal reserve board follows is debatable by either politi­ cal party, but nobody would be fool enough to try to elim inate the board as an institution. Both parties claim they invented it. The size ot the income tax, and how ' it’s distributed is also a m atter to be settled by the party in power,'but I can’t quite see anybody trying to eliminate incon^e taxes entirely. Other m atters like the principles of government regulation of inter­ state commerce, of old age and onemployment insurance . and dozens of other activities seem to be here for good. If I am a Red for saying that, you can measure me for a suit of long imderwear to m atch, tuck me into the one-hoss-shay and send me home.As a m atter of fact I am really pretty much of a moss-back. Al­ though I ’d trade in m y used air­plane for a rocket, it anybody has a surrey with the fringe on top and I had a place to park it, that’s what I ’d really prefer. Mention of Taft Evokes Criticism One can’t discuss the Republican party without mentioning M r. Taft. And whenever I say anything good on the air about Sen. Robert A. Taft, I get letters like the following from a m an in Lakewood, New York (I had in the same broadcast described a truck-driver who nearly ran over m e); “I can see a picture of you,” he writes, “looking dovm your long nose at that truck driver and be­ lieve me, I know just exactly how you felt towards him . However, I wonder which is the most dan­ gerous, an idiot with a truck or an Idiot with a vast radio audience. “You see, I look down my long nose at you just as you did the truck driver and I have the advan­tage of having heard a few thou­ sand of your broadcasts. Through this m edium I have explored your brain and believe me I find not m uch there. Your speaking of the truck driver as weU as Taft’s in­ telligence is a fair measure of your own. . . This was m y answer:“Dear Sir; I have your letter saying that you wonder which is the most dangerons, the truck driver I referred to or an idiot with a vast radio audience —and also that you have heard me a few thousand times. I am glad to note we have so much in common.”My reference to Taft which so infuriated the letter-writer was in connection with an im plication that Senator Taft IS the Republican party in the Senate as it exists to­ day. This situation may change, though there are no present indi­ cations it w ill. Taft rides the ele­phant, regardless of who happens to play the calliope. And paradoxically enough. It w ill be Senator Taft, the strongest fig­ure in the senate, arch-Republican, sjonbol of reaction to his enemiee, who probably w ill be a powerful factor ir the enactment of more than one of the so called ' “social- servlce” laws which are a vital part of the adm inistration program. Housing and federal aid to educa­ tion are two measures which m ight be named. And although the Taft- H artley act w ill have a new name, the Im print of its senatorial spdnsor w ill not be entirely eradicated from its structure when it comes out of the hopper. Taft was able to drag out tha labor bill hearings for ^ o weeks longer than was originally planned, and I would not be surprised if these lines appear in print before his gently-led filibuster against the re­ peal is over, or at least long over. But that does not mean Taft or his party controls the senate. As this was written a theory was abroad that the Republican strat­ egy had developed to the point where, if the party woidd keep its “young Turks” in line—the so- called lib e ral Republican senators who tried and so dism ally failed to cnrb Taft’s power—they could count on enough votes of the southern senators on most controversial is­ sues (unless these issues step on the toes of southern tradition) to wrest control from the Democrats. In fact, the expounders of this theory were only a little while ago pointing to defeat of the bill to exempt the tax on the Inaug­ uration as proof that the fate of the Democrats in the senate was a pretty dark one. They ex- pla ine d it was symptomatic when 41 Republicans voted against the measure, and found to their surprise and pleasure that they were able to get six Democrats to join them , thus providing a m ajority and de­feating the measure. That made tilings look very sim ­ ple. But there is another side to that story. That vote backfired and hurt the R e p u b lic a n s more than it helped. It did more than a little to create Democratic solidarity, and the reaUy deep-dishers on Capitol H ill are predicting that the Demo­crats are going to achieve enough unanim ity from now on to m ain­ tain their m ajority on m ajor issues. There w ill be, of course, matters where members of both parties w ill desert because the issue in­ volved is such that the particular state or area from which the sen­ ator comes has an interest which conflicts with the m ajority of his party. There wUl be some issues in which Democrats w ill join Republi­ cans as well as vice versa. And, as I said earlier, there are some things that don’t appear on the sur­ face. The burden of the attack against the Democrats, whetter yon call them New Dealers, F air Dealers, or Tramanites, Is that they seek government control of business. . Now I believe most Republican leaders have the brains to adm it (and if they haven’t they can expect to be defeated, just as the liberals and conservatives were beaten in England) that the best way to k ill government control—the antithesis of free enterprise because it is gov- enm ient monopoly—is to k ill priv­ ate monopoly. The latter is a two- edged ''sword against, free enter- jirise . First, private monopoly kills competition. Second, it opens the way to government ownership. Today the intelligent leaders of the GOP have to adm it what 1 am sure they believe at Ijeart, namely, that they w ill have to let the federal government do certain things for the people, it pifivate enterprise can’t or won’t do those things. Taft, as well as the young Turks, knows that. They also know that private monopoly breeds state control.

It is creeping into the cigar cases of America again, and few things have made the country feel better. The nickel stogie stands as an emblem of a smoother-going life, uncomplicated by almost every known type of worry. It marks an era when men trusted one another, hated nobody to speak of, and never tossed an night, harassed by thoughts of taxes, assessments, new bites, etc.m The five-cent cheroot marked an age .when you could know nothing about economics and still not be considered a hillbilly . . . a tim e when “index” was generally thought to be a mountain goat and when a “ spiral” was widely accepted as some type of tropical fish.• • • When the five-cent straight smoke reigned supreme tlie only tax a m an ever had to pay was a §2-a-year poll tax, unless he owned property. Anybody who talked of income taxes was langhed off as a radical, a nut or both. The word “ question­ naire” hadn’t come into our lan­ guage. tax forms were for land­ lords only.

Everybody thought economy was .a good idea. A man always had some idea where he stood financially at any hour. Only gypsies lived in tents..........If a m an had the wisdom and frugality to save up enough money to provide for his fam ily after he kicked the bucket, he could determine with­ out consulting a staff of legal experts whether they would get more than $4 of his estate._*_ A ll life was sweeter when most of the cigars in the sliowcases were five-centers and a 10-cent one was regarded as something of an extra­ vagance. People let their m ajor worries center on the common cold, the weather for Sunday’s picnic, dandruff, slippery sidewalks and how m any quarts of soup could be made from a soup-bunch.« We toss a lid into the air at the five-cent smoke’s return.

The best way to learn how to do this is to practice a ce rtm number of dishes until you can make them just perfectly, then learn how to put everything together and in ­ vite your friends.Many families have a standard company menu which they can pull out of a hat, so to speak. They have served the menu sev­eral times so mother knows just how to cook it to perfectton, and Dad and the youngs t e r s know' how to set the table and do the other little jobs that help mother.If you’re looking for just such a menu, look over tU s suggestion and see if it doesn’t have the ingredients of successful entertaining.

Some Buspicioiis clerk wants to know if your signature is genuine. It is a fair challenge, f o r • too many liars are in ” irculation. Jesus himself had to fur- nish identification. No less a person than iiis old friend John th e Baptizer h a d grown imeasy. “Are you the one we are looking-for,” he in- auired, “or shall we p ,. Foreman look f o r someone else?” Jesus’ answer to John was not to discuss the theology of the In ­ carnation, or anytiiing of that sort He just went about his usual day’s work.In. the course of that day he cured a good m any sick people, and preached to some very poor people. “Now go back,” he .said, “go back and teU John what you have seen and heard.” W hat those m en saw that day was what Jesus at another time called the “finger of God,” the genuine divine signature. Jesus wrote no book, no letters even; he wrote in Action, and his acts were the handwrit­ing of God. It is im portant to see where Jesus underscored that w riting. It is true, his healings were what we call m iracles. But Jesus did not even mention that feature. What he asked John to notice was simply this; the blind see, the lam e walk; lepers are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and (as a clim ax!) the poor hear good news. The signature of God, in short, is not sheer power; it is using what power one has, to help people in trouble.* * • Not By Bread AloneiPHE EXPRESSION, “needy peo- ^ pie,” nowadays suggests people who haven’t enough to eat or wear. Jesus helped such persons; but he tmew well that men’s needs go be­ yond well-cared-for bodies. There was the poor m an from the grave­yard, for example,—^he was happy enough. He didn’t want clothes, and he was strong enough to steal a ll the food he could eat. A ll he wanted, in fact, was to be let alone. But Jesus knew that what he needed above all was a sane m ind, a m ind no longer run over and trampled by a regiment of devils.When Jesus got through w itli him he was clothed, but that was not the best part of it. He was in his right mind. So God’s signature is not only written in a sound body, it is in the sound m ind. Again, at Jericho when Jesus invited himself to din­ ner with the pint-sized tycoon Zac- chaeus, Jesus did not go just for the meal. He went because he knew that Zacchaeus needed something. Jericho needed something, too, something only Zacchaeus could give. We do know that after dinner Zacchaeus was a changed m an. He was going to give back every dishonest penny, m th interest; and since he could not locate every one he had cheated, he was going to give away half of his holdings for the benefit of the p o o r., W hat Jericho needed was a ^new adm inistration, any honest 'one; they needed slum clearance; and Zaccl;aeus was going to give it to them. But first of aU Zacchaeus had needed a new heart—and Jesus gave him that. • * * - We Too Al l AROUND us is a troubled world. Some men, seeing it, infer there is no God. Others con­ clude that if there is one, he must be bad or weak. The truth is that the s i^a tu re of God is not to be found in the evil and the confusion of the world. It is to be seen wher­ever freedom is standing against slavery, wherever truth is pushing back ignorance, where diseased bodies are being healed, where san­ ity replaces madness. More people would believe in God if ttey could see more of the handwriting of God. Do yon want to help? We cannot always do things as sim ply as Jesus did. Cinring the dis­ eased is not for us a simple niiatter of saying. Be well.

Esteron 44 Results In Wild Onion Curbs Wild Garlic also Found Vulnerable to Solution W ild garlic and wild onion long have been two of the most trouble­some iveeds In southern lawns, pastures and certified grass and and grain seed production fields. As lawn weeds, these plants give the lawn an uneven, ragged appearance and produce a very- disagreeable onion odor when mow­ed. In pastures, dairy cattle feed­ ing on these plants produce m ilk with an off flavor which is of great concern to dairymen in several states. Seed production has been lim ited by the presence of wild potential contamination, onions in many fields because of During the past three years many experiments have been made with varied forms of 2,4-D to control wild garlic and wild onion. Tests with sodium salt of 2,4-D were un­ successful. Esteron 44 and the amine liquid, salt formations, how­ ever, gave good control when used at the rate of three to four pounds of 2,4-D acid equivalent per acre. Apparently the amount of water used makes little difference in the results obtained.v. As m any as 125 gallons per acre and as few as five gallons per acre were applied with equal success. For pasture work, observers agree that Esteron 44 may be some­ what more effective than the amine salts, but because of the possible danger from volatility of the esters of 2,4-D, it is suggested that the amine liquid salt be used where susceptible plants grow in immedi­ ately adjacent areas. (Lawns, for example, with adjacent flowers and shrubs). Moisture Conservation Helps With ViiTiea:t CropA 30-acre field that had produced little during the last few years, even with favorable moisture con­ditions, produced a good wheat crop, according to the Kansas state college extension service.“A combination of things made the land productive again,” a con­ servation district cooperator said. “Use of sweet clover, seeded in the spring of 1946, for green manure and terracing, and contour farm ­ing for moisture conservation were im portant.”The land, he explained, was bad­ ly eroded. The soil was thin, dense and hard to work. It had not produced a decent crop in the previous six years and was prac­ tically idle land.- Gullies were plowed shut after the terraces were built, so that the whole field could be contour farmed. In addition, grass waterways were developed and more terraces plan­ned. New Hay Chopper This combination hay chopper and ensilage cutter, which can be operated by one m an, has been introduced by the New Holland Machine company. The new machine feeds, cuts to desired length and blows corn, hay or other crops to mow or silo in one operation. Cutting in lengths ranging from S-18” to 1%, the chopper can handle up to 20 tons of silage an hour. Bathtub Fairly Recent Innovation in America Although many Americans con­ sider the daily bath essential to good health, most of their predeces­sors of a century ago never saw, much less bathed in, a bathtub in the home. For pre-Civil W ar Americans, bathing was a luxury indulged in a hut alongside the home. The White House got its first bathtub during Lincoln’s term. The first all-iron tub was installed in ITew York City in 1870. MIRROR o f your MIND • • • By Lawrence Gould- How Ideas Are Born Does anyone know where “ideas” come from ? Answer: If you’re thinking of "original ideas,” a ll that we can be sure of is that they don’t “come Into our m inds” out of the wild blue yonder; they rise out of the “uncon­scious.” Basically each idea starts from a wish or “drive” and repre­sents a real or im agined way of get­ting satisfaction for it: an invention, for example, m ay start with a wish to save yourself work, to win fame, or to make money. But little is known of the mysterious process by which we put two and two together so that an idea eventually “takes shape.” Are there people whom you cannot “win by kindness” ? Answer; Yes. There is a type of person who is thrown into a panic by being treated too kindly and he w ill shun you like the plague it you attem pt to do him favors; he firm ly believes you want to "put him un­der obligation” to you and thus rob him of his “freedom.” W hat he really is afraid of is his own uncon­ scious wish to be dependent on some stronger person, and the reason this wish seems so dangerous is that once he gave fu ll confidence to someone—probably, one of his par­ents—and felt he was betrayed or “rejected.” Can your body make your m ind sick? Answer: Yes, says Dr. Armando Ferraro of the New York State Psy­ chiatric institute. He feels that psy­chosomatic medicine has empha­sized the m ind’s effects on the body to the point where it tends to i^ o r e the fact that physical conditions m ay produce m ental disturbances. A disorder of the “autonomic nerv­ous system” which controls our movements and sensations m ay arouse states of "anxiety” such as occur in anxiety neurosis. W hat we know as m ind and body are two aspects of one organism and what­ ever injures one affects the other also. LOOKING AT RELIGION KEEPING HEALTHY Preventing Heart Stroke By Dr. James W. Barton T ^A N Y years ago, one of the med- ical journals published the story of a businessman who had be­ come m entally deranged. He was taken to a farm and treated entire­ ly as an anim al—regular meals, regular exercise and regular deep. In a m atter ot months he was restored to good m ental and physical health because ot this regularity of the same life as an anim al—plenty of the right food, and the fu ll amount of sleep to give rest needed be­ cause ot the hard physical work. It is not surprising, therefore, that physicians are prescribing some­ what sim ilar treatm ent for their cases of high blood pressure which cause heart strokes (coronary thrombosis or occlusion) and brain strokes (apoplexy). Men w ill not have coronary oc­clusion in the dangerous age (ex­ cept if they have infections) if: (1) they take daily physical exercise; (2) learn their foods (do not gain weight, take a low fat diet, do not eat more than they need for the amount of work or exercise taken); (3) keep a quiet m ind; and (4) get eight hours’ sleep, leaving worries at the office. < There is no question but that if the middle-aged m an or wom­ an would take daily physical ez- • ercise, which creates a natural appetite and prevents constipa­tion, he or she w ill have rich . pure blood circulating throngli* out the body, feeding needy tis­sues and carrying away wastes which could damage heart and blood vessels. Naturally, also, the m an or woman who can sleep peacefully and not be restless because ot office or do­mestic problems, is going to rest heart and blood vessels and prevent a rise in blood pressure. R e s t^ sleep is like having a batter? re­charged. It is the rise in blood pressure that causes most attacks ot coronary occlusion or heart stroke. HEALTH NOTES The doctrine that alcoholism is a sickness has provided drinkers with a handy alibi, according to Ed­ward J . McGioldrick Jr., director of New York’s Bureau of Alcoholic ■Therapy. The most im portant thing In effecting a cure is thst the pa­tient m ust want to be cured. There should be more psychiatric clinics like Bridge House in New York Citv W ith death rates from cancer re­ ported on the decline, there is strong reason for opUmism,'accord­ ing to D r. Louis L. Dublin, second vice president and statistician of the Metropolitan U fe Insurance com­pany. This is largely because wide­spread publicity has sent many per­ sons to cancevdetection centers or to their physicians at early stages of the disease. By SH IRLEY RAY TT WAS the fifth morning in a row so Mrs. Laughton was not sur­ prised. She slipped out of bed qui­etly, reached for a robe, and put it over her shoulders. Before dawn, every morning of that week, her four-year-old daugh- ter had wakened 3•Minute 1'®*' g e n tle' but insistent tugs FlCtlOil to tell her about.......... the dream she’d just had. Had they been liight- mares, Mrs. Laughton would have been eager to get up to comfort a frightened child, but they were nev­er nightmares. They were always gay and fanciful dreams that made the little girl’s sm all face glow with wonder and delight. So Mrs. Laughton, as on the other mornings, took Ellen into the kitchen and poured a glass of m ilk fo r each of them. W ith both sm all hands wrapped around her glass, the little girl sat on the edge of a too large chair and with shming eyes, eagerly told her dream. “ T DREAM ED I was sleeping. Mommy, and that the North W ind stopped right outside m y win­dow and called m y name. He said, ‘Ellen—EUen—wake up and come to the window. Then I ’U put you on my shoulder and take you for a ride with me.’ ” Mrs. Laughton took a druik from her glass of m ilk. This dream was going to be very much like the oth­ ers. Something or someone—once a •bluebird, once a fairy—she couldn’t recall what the others were—came to the window and offered to take Ellen on an impossible journey. M rs. Laughton yawned. She would liked to have put her daughter to bed and ended the tale at olice, but the thought of M r. Laughton and his 6ure-to-be-bad disposition made her ask patiently, “W hat did the North Wind look like, dear?”EUen was enthtisiastio. "He was green" she declared im port tantly. Mrs. Laughton thought to her­ self, “She doesn’t know one color from another,” The child continued. “He had long pointy green shoes and lohg green hair and a long green nose.” The wide eyes and little blonde head leaned forward and the sm all voice became confidential. “He was aU green except for the buckles on his shoes. They were sUver and shaped like stars and they' spar­kled so bright that I had to bUnk is “We went way up high over the houses and trees.” m y eyes as we went through the air.”Mrs. Laughton yawned again. E l­ len didn’t notice. "After I climbed onto his shoul­der,” she said, “we went way up high over aU the houses and trees. We woke the leaves and they made shivering noises whenever we passed by. We stirred the dust from the streets so they woxdd be clean for morning. “ IIU T soon he said that he must ■*-*take me back home because there were other towns he had to ■visit before the night was over. So,” (she sounded genuinely dis­appointed) “we came back to m y window. He lifted me down from his shoulder, said goodnight and went awav—way up in the sky.” “That’s fine, dear—such a fine dream ,” she said, and added hast­ ily, “Now let’s go back to bed.” It was morning. M r. Laughton had left for the office a couple of hours dgo, and Ellen was playing in the yard. M rs. Laughton made EUen’s sm all bed. ^ e picked up a rag doll and set it in a chair. She put the two miniature bedroom slippers in their place in the closet. & e picked up a rumple nightie and started to hang It away. There was something in the pock­et—something heavy. Mrs. Laugh­ ton put her hand inside and felt. It was cold and hard. She dreu) it out slowly and held it in her hand fo r • long tim e.

MARt H 9, ,949 Double the Ironing Board To Save Time, S?.ys Expert Wide board to fit on top of the regular ironing bocird of standard size for ironing linens, draperies, men's shirts, and other large pieces, will save many lifts of the iron and shifts of clothes during ironing. Use board that can be put on or off the standard board as needed, says Ruth Current, New York State college home demonstration agent. A width of 20 inches is suggested for this board. In an ironing study made by New York state specialists, it was found that this was as wide as any of the women in the study could reach at their preferred Ironing height without bending forward. For comfortable, efficient ironing an up­ right posture is necesisary, even while reaching the full width of the board. This allows free movement without strain on neck, arms or back. The length of the board should be about 42 inches -or slightly longer than the board on which it fits. One end r-.ay bo t?.pei-i’ d for convenience in slipping clnthcs over. Cut the board from 7/,-ine’i p’r.ywood or five-ply wall board. Fact;n v.'ooden cleats on the underside to fit it to t!:e louver board. To linld it more firrnly, wood­en buttons may b.? screwed onto the cleats which may be turned to clamp on the under board. New York state housewives who made the first tests of the wide board in their homes reported that it saved 15 per cent on the time spent on their weekly ironing. On tliis 20-inch wide surface, a man's shirt needs to br moved only three times in Ironing. New Methods Aid Search For Oil in Mexico Gulf Along the Gulf of Mexico—where tr. S. Industrial and military-training centers buzzed with wartime activi­ties—the recent oil strike in deep water off Louisiana adds something new to the old story of drilling In this part of the world. In 1901, the discovery of the Spin- dletop field, in oil-rich Texas near the Louisiana border, launched the biggest and most far-reaching boom of the then relatively young industry, notes the National Geographic soci­ety. About the same time, oil was struck in near-by southwest Louisi­ ana. It was the fir.st of the many ma­ jor fields which have made this stats today one of the nation's leading oil sources. Much of Louisiana's oil has come from the marsh-and-la’<e region around the Gulf. In recent years, however, prospectors have been look­ing beyond the mainland. The under-water continental shelf around the United States is believed to hold extensive deposits of the pre­ cious fuel-and-povrer substance. Ca’.i- for”ia tidc’ands lonp: have h3cn trr>- ped by s:antin.s; we!!s from tlie bsach- es, as well as by offshore rifs. Vari­ous drilling operations have been un­ dertaken off the Louisiana, Florida and Te::as coasts. Some of the pro.“!- peeting Gulf weils have been sunk more than 20 miles from land. Electric Appliances on Farms Farm wives and their families are now using mar.y of the electrical ap­pliances that have bnrr b;en cor.-.ni.on in the homes of city folks, according to a questionnaire mailed to farmers. Electricity helps do the washing on about 43 psr cent of all U. S. farms, replies from about 8,400 farm peop’.e indicate. The next most common ap­ pliance is the elcctiic refri"eratov which is reported in SS per ceiit cf the farm homes. One farm in four throughout the country has an elec­tric vacuum cleaner but the propor­ tion is over half on farr’s in ths Mi'V dle Atlantic, East North Central, and Pacific states. Soveral eloctrical ap- pliajices still are not common on farms. Only one in 10 of the farmers had an electric water heater. Foot- operated sevdng machines apparently are still v\'idely used by farm women. Only 7 per cent had one powered by electricity but, accordirj to a previ­ous survey, 82 per cent of all ffirms had some kind of a sewir" machine. Some of my nephews and nieces went to save regularly and actually do it* Chhers mean to save but don’t always gel around to it. These latter are the one* who onit think about a budget. The best way lo save is to do It on a regular basis, every pay-day. And the investment Is U. S.

BENSON PHsUeHt~Marii»g CotU/e Seany. America’s Greatest Resource When yon enter the gates of our huge factories and industrial plants, do you see what is really there? Whenever I go inside factory gates, the wonder of it all amazes me. 'Where did all the equipment come from? By what magic was all of it .assembled into such a gigantic unit for production? Somebody had to pay for all of it. Do you suppose it was a capitalist?Nobody’s Orders Yes, capitalists did the deed. It is interesting that they keep doing that type of thing, all along. They keep building steel mills and put­ting up new oil refineries. Nevi' as­sembly lines are continually set up, and old ones unproved. Plant expansions are iinderlaken. Mod­ern tools are installed lo r«piace worn ones. And one of the most amazing things ahnut it is that no­ body has to tell tUem to do it!No dictator commands that all this money be si.’i.nl. No govern­ ment bureau has to send out a di­ rective. It’s all just part of the sys­tem that is the mainspring of Amer­ ica. This system of free and in­dividual enterprise has made pos­sible the building of our nation. Whenever the incentive of profit or reward is there, both men and money w ill be put to work. Capital comes to the job in hope of a re­ward, just .".s a man expects a pay­ check as the result of his labor. Money and men work side by side, then.Froiits Make Jobs These things are so common un­ der the enterprise system as we know it in America, that most ol us take them tor granted. Yet, these capitalists (sometimes attacked so bitterly by unthinking persons) con­ stantly supply tile essential ingredi­ent that makes jobs and produces goods. Actually, the six or seven cents profit out of each sales doUar, which is typical of industir as a whole, does a tremendous job for you and for me. It pays for all the machines tliat, in turn, do most of the work. This makes it possible for 60 cents or more of this same sales dollar to be given to those who supply the human energy, the workmen. Some three cents, or only about half of this sm all profit, is used on the average to pay investors for tlie use of capital that brought these in­ dustries into being.Incentives for Each The other three cents or so of the profit goes back into the business. This portion of profit is used to pay for worn-out equipment and other replacements, and to keep up with rising costs and increased taxes. Today, that part of the sales dol­ lar called profit is hardly ever enough to meet industry’s real and urgent needs. In late years our in­ dustry has had to borrow more and more to meet rising inventory and equipment costs.The nation’s industrial enterprises cannot exist now, and never could have been developed, without the use of capital. Capital very effec­ tively teams up with labor and man; agement to bring great benefits to every citizen. Each of the partners —investor, worker, manager—^has his own incentive. This system, free and unhampered, brings forth the best effort from each. This enter­prise system is our. country’s great­ est resource. Have 700 beard Or.

Air Mail Service After viewmg tlie poter.tifJities of the aiiTlane during World War I, congi-ess appropriated flOO.OOO for , the fiscal year ending June 30. 1918. to estabfeh an expsriniental air ma:l route. W ith army pilots doing tlie fly­ ing, the first scheduled tiip was launched May 15, 1918, between Now York and Washington via Philadel­ phia. Service over this 21S-mile route consisted of one round trip daily, ex­ cept Sunday. Three months later the post office took over the entire op­ eration. Out of this humble begin­ ning developed coast-to-coast air mail service. On May 15, 1919, mail took to the air between Chica.iro and Cleve­land: on .July 1, 1D19, between Cleve­land and New York; on May 15, 1320, b;tvc:n Chicago and Omaha. Then on Scptern!;er 8, 1S20, the Omalia-San Fran-icco leg was added. An airway now linked the Pacific and Atlantic corsts far the first time—the U. S. air mail Route No. 1.

Vec:etabls tops and trimmings make suitable com­post, but the compost pile should not be looked upon as a substitute for the .sjarbage can. Fo.ts in particular arc to be avoided. There is no hard and fast difference between compost and artificial manure. Compost usually consists of a mixture of poultry lit­ ter, fresh or dried manure and soil, usually in the prcportion of one third of the animal matter to two thirds of the soil. Commercisd 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.

Jirtausas 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 owntd 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 ern corporation is built around this idea: many people working together can sometimes do things in a better way than jtist one or two can do them alone. You see, it takes a lot of money for an automobile factory or an pil 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 nev/ industrial 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 return on our money. This may be done through the cor­poration. 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 m machinery and materials, and to handle payrolls until earnings come in. If managed well, 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 small. Others are equipped and financed by thousands of people for the purpsse 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 hardly could be called “bloated capitalists.” About half of all corporation dividends go to' persons with aimual incomes tinder $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 tliree fam ­ ilies nor a favorite political clique nor even the government, but tha people own the tools of production. Anyone of us may invest in corpora­ tions. Besides d i ^ t investors, any­one 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 yovL In this addi­ tional way, ownership of corpora­ tions is spread throughout the land. Management, labor, investors—all work together to make business and industry himi w ith production. Everyone benefits. This is the mira­ cle of America’s free enterprise.

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 sted operations above a yearly aver­ age of 93 per cent of capacity. It is estimated that millions of tons of po­tential 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.

'H a t fish and grow smart” is an old, old saying, but scientists say that it’s all he bunk. The Ohio division of conservation says; "Science does not recognize any on^ food as more bene­ ficial to the brain than another. W hat food is good for the whole body is al­so good for the brain. Fish meat is considered rich in phosphorous and a German scientist of the nineteenth century started the idea, ‘No phos­ phorus, no thought.’ As a matter of fact, the human brain attains almost Its full adult size during the first six years of a child’s life and during the time when its chif-f article of diet is milk. The flesh ct fish is lighter and more easily digesfsd than most of the flesh meats and t^'!^efore it is a suit­able and desirable food for so-called brain workers or persons engaged in occupations involving little physical exertion and much mental labor.” Early American Gangster A noted thief and daring burglar.

Polish Coal Estimates Folish coal resources are estimate by Polish experts at anywhere froi: 75 billion to 80 billion tons. Ten per cent of the deposits are in the west­ern territories—the lands Poland ab­sorbed from eastern Germany. Po­land’s hard coal resources have been estimated at 10,500,000,000 tons by a special commission of mining experts. The commission stated that this in­ cludes only definitely ascertained de­ posits in mining claims to a depth of about 3,300 feet. Goat Bepiaces Horse The horse, driven from the road.' ‘by the automobile, lost its place in the gafinent factory to the smell}’ goat; for it is a goathair fabric that is now used in suit linings. It is a cloth made by conventional weaving methods, in which goathair is used as the filling yam in a warp of cot­ ton, wool or rayon. It differs from the old horsehair fabric in that the goathair is blended with wool or ray­on and spun into yam so that it goes into the loom as a strong, continu­ous thread. Midgets Boss Behemotli Tiny bits of silver weighing a''fe\v grains each will “boss" the world's Uggest overhead crane, which is to be built at the naval shipyard at Hunters Point, near San Francisco. The crane w ill be able to lift and carry more than one million pounds, with the aid of many motors and va­ried applications of the principle of leverage. The starting, stopping and speed of operation of these motors will be controlled by little gadgets almost nobody knows, called electri­ cal contact points.

But he is the bisr^est rat of all, frequently getting up to 60 pounds jn weight. These amazing ensrineers, who were given teeth for saw.s, go downstream from their home and build a dam. 'This backs up deep wa­ters which hide the entrance to their home and give them a good pool in which to hide from their enemiSs and to nail fish. The beaver lives on the bark of trees he gnaws as he cuts them down. He stacks up a woodpile for the winter and when cold weather comes he feasts on It.

It is (rood any Ome of the year and can be pro-*iced and prepared much' quicker than chicken. As for cooking, explains Mrs. Rice it can be broiled, fried, baked or cas­ seroled. In fact, rabbit can be cooked and served in just about as many ways as chicken. Many persons tell the story of serv­ing rabbit to guests without com­ ment and having them think it is chicken. In taste, this white, deli­ cately flavored meat is comparable to chicken breast. As to food value, rabbit meat is classed with poultry, lean meat and fish. In coat, rabbit is about the same as chicken when the higher proportion of edible meat on a rabbit is consider­ ed.

Priority on the coldest space In the cabinet, which is usually nearest the freezing cabinet, should be given to the most perishable foods, for which a temperature of 40 degrees or slight­ ly colder is recommended. The foodr which need coldest storage because they spoil most easily are: fresh an^' cooked meat, poultry arid fish, mea' broth, gelatin , dishes, milk, milk-and- egg dishes like custard, and cottagp or other soft cheeses. Modem refrigerators are de9i.raed to encourage this arran^m ent oJ food by providing; tall shelves for milk bottles beside freezing units and a covered compartment for meat .ius» underneath. In general, these varj> perishable foods keep best if covered Uncooked meat should be loozsly cov­ ered, or sbnply taken out of its wrap­ pings and placed in the meat com­partment of the refri^rator which provides it with enoufh ventilation for good keeping. Remedy for Carrott Yellows If carrot tops have many small young leaves which appear to be un­ dersized and are yellowish or reddish in color it is probably due to a dis­ease known as "carrot yellows.’’ C3ar- rot yellows, explains A. A. Granov­ sky, professor of entomology at Uni­ versity of Minnesota, is a virus dis­ease transmitted by a species of leaf- hopper which ^ends the winter in weeds and in spring and summer moves to carrots. In addition to bushy, yellowish tops, carrot yellows show up in wooly, undersized roots. Yel- lows-infected carrots are hard and have an off-flavor characterized as a bitter taste with an astrinqrent effect which clings to the mouth for some time. Best way to prevent carrot yel­ lows and to control leafhoppers is to dust carrots with a 5 per cent DDT or spray with DDT, using one or two teaspoonfuls of 50 per cent DDT wet- table powder.

Our County And Sodal Security By Mrs. Ruth G. Du€hr. Manager. Last week I discussed the need of Social Security for children. Today we shall go further into the Old-Age and Survivors Insur­ ance benefits. Monthly insurance benefits help to provide basic family security. They help make it possible for a family to stay together while the children are growing up. Child­ ren are given the opportunity to finish high school, and mothers are given a bstter opportunity to stay at home and give their full attention to homemaking and child rearing. Social security be­ nefits do not replace the earnings for the familv which are' lost be­ cause of the worker's retirement or death. But thev help to meet this loss through regular payments during the years when family re­ sponsibilities arc heaviest. Children’s benefits and benefits for widows with children in their care may be paid only when the the wage earner, on whom a child is dependent, is insured. To be insured the worker must have been employed a minimum time and earned a minimum amount in jobs covered under the Old- Age and Survivors Insurance sys­ tem. Benefits payable to a work­ er’s familv are figured from the amount of his benefit. .A widow’s monthly benefit is three-fourths of the amount to which her hus­ band would have been entitled. Each child-receives monthly ben efits equal to cnc iialf his father’s bencf.t.

BIG BUSINESS HEARD ON T-H LAW . . . Charles E. WOsan (right) president of General Electric, tesfifies at senate labor committee hearing on Taft-Hartley bill. With him, at left, is L. R. Boolware, vice-president of General Electric. Their CMicIasions: The law is s “good law with wise safeguards in labor-management relations." That labor thought otherwise is shown by the placard Wilson holds. LABOR LAW: Trouble, Trouble' In the field of liberal—or, as some would term it, even “left wing”— Republicanism, the OOP’s Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon was con­ ceding nothing to no man. THE SENATOR was vocally and vociferously hiurt. The defense of the Taft-Hartley law by “big busi­ness” was giving the senator no rest and he meant to let everyone know about it. W ith little originality but much vigor, the senator was crying that the attitude of many defenders of the Taft-Hartley law was a “Judas betrayal of the capitalistic system.’/ IN A SUDDEN onslaught against many of the business men who have appeared before the committee in defense of the measure, the senator declared their attitude is “shocking . . . selfish . . . class-conscious . . . un-Ciiristian.” In contrast, he praised Senator Taft (R-, Ohio) whose name the law bears, for his “fair-minded objec­ tivity” in considering testimony on the “shortcomings” of the act. Morse declared he and Taft are “much nearer together on the need for a law less drastic against labor” than they were in 1947 when the act was passed. MEANW HILE, sentiment w a s growing among congressional ob­ servers that with every day of delay on legislative consideration of Taft- Hartley law repeal, there increased the probability of labor’s failing to get as many of the law provisions outlawed as they m ight hope to do. A m ajor battle was shaping up on the proposal, with many legislators evidencing a dawning conviction that perhaps it would not be wise to scrap the Taft-Hartley law in its entirety and replace it with some version of the Wagner act. JOBLESS: 3 Million Out At present count the number of jobless in the United States stood at three m illion. However, according to the ex­ perts, there was no cause for im ­ mediate concern. Commissioner Ewan Clague of the federal bureau of labor said the tim e to become alarm ed wotdd be when the un­ employed total reached five m il­ lion and stayed there.Would it reach five m illion? THAT WAS A POINT on which the experts disagreed. Those who were loudest in point­ing to the possibility of a depres­ sion pointed out that in just three months the jobless total had jum ped from 1.8 m illion to the present three m illion That was a rate of acceleration which, they claimed should cause everyone to be alarmed. Time was an element, Com­ missioner Clague contended. W ait, he said, until the spring weather begins to revive the construction business and Easter trade and then “we’ll be able to tell better just where we’re going.” The federal official noted there was a drop of 1.75 m illion workers in non-agricultural jobs between mid-December and mid-January. P art of this was seasonal, he said, GETTING HOT IN FLORIDA Fraternity Man Chooses Mind Over Gastronomies Culture had won a minor trinmpta. At Ann Arbor, M ich., Paul H. Smith, VnlTersity of Miehigan jm uot was about to have at it with a hog for eating capacity honors.Thinking better of the idea, he changed his m ind. Reason, it appears, had raised Its awesome head.Smith declared that, on second thought, it occurred to him that the contest m ight be a “reflec­tion” on himself and his frater­ nity. Fraternity men from high above Cayuga’s waters to the Rose Bowl breathed easier, buck­led anew to their academic tasks. but the overall decline was greater than normal. SIGNIFICANT "was a report of Robert G. Goodwin, director of the bureau of employment security, who said that the number of people receiving jobless benefits increased by 62,000 to a total of 1,784,000 dur­ ing the week ending Febrtjary 12. In the same week in 1948, there were 1,030,000 such claim s. Employment or its lack has al­ways been a m ajor factor of indi­ cation in an evaluation of the na­ tion’s ecohomic condition because of the simple fact that in past re­ cessions general unemployment has always preceded periods of national depression. RUSSIANS: Big War Talk The Russians must keep prepared for war. That was the message of Soviet M arshal Nikolai A. Bulganin, Sov­ iet m inister of armed forces, in a statement in an order of the day m arking the 3l^t anniversary of the Red arm y. The M arshal named the possible enemy—the United States. Bulganin added that the "ruling circles of the United States which seek to establish their world domi­nation by force pursue a policy of aggression and of unleashing a new war.” The language was strong, even for the Russians. Was it the begin­ ning of a campaign by the Soviets to prepare the mass Russian m ind for conflict? It could be. Bulganin played on fears and prejudices which m ight well lay the groundwork for calling the Soviet people into war. Intim a­ ting the possibility of attack, he assured the Russians that the “Soviet people m ay rest assured our arm y, air force and navy w ill vigilantly stand guard over their socialist homeland.” THE UNITED STATES was the only western power singled otrt by the m arshal in his order of the day. But there was a naive element of braggadocio in a ll the anniver­ sary statements. It seemed Lt. Gen. S. S. Shatilov, deputy chief director of the political board of the armed services, was trying to, “whistle past the graveyard” when he stated that in its early days the Soviet arm y had “routed the hordes of 14 powers. Governor Warren Runs 'Bookies' Underground down was going to stick. The book­ ies “went underground” and it was A ll was not sunshine and soft breezes in Florida. It was hot enough but^at this writing there had been nothing to call off the heat imposed by Gov. Fuller Warren’s edict against bookies. “Bookies” to the initiate are those who take race horse bets off the tracks, usually in rear rooms of public establishments —in more .•nimptuous instances in their own establishments., It appeared the governor’s crack- reported that a telegraphic news service supplying results of horse races had suspended. Most reports emanating from the state were to the effect that bookies were out of work except for a f*w trying to do a sm all business by runners and'telephones. The out­ look didn’t appear too rosy.- DEATH SPRAY: Nazis Had It Out of Mountain View, Calif., came one of the most chilling, awesome post-war tales of what m ight have been in World W ar n . It was about a “ death spray”— a spray so fatal that If a spot of it the size of a dime lay on a per­son’s skin, that person was doomed. THE SPRAY was described as being potent enough to knock out whole divisions of men in exposed positions. A dime-sized spot, unless wiped off quickly, would k ill a m an in two minutes. It would penetrate ordi­nary clothing and some types of gas masks. Authorities for these statements wer? U. S. arm y engineers who destroyed 125,000 tons of the spray where it was stored in carefully hidden caves in Bavaria. M aj. Jam es M. Graham of the engineer corps said the Germans called the chemical “tabun,” a combination of the scientists who invented it. According to Major Graham , who had charge of the disposal of the chemical, “tabun” was a m ilitary secret until about six months ago when some inform a­tion concerning it leaked out to the American public. * One thousand tons were spared from destruction and shipped to the arm y proving grounds at Aberdeen, Maryland. THE M AJOR said the stuff is nearly odorless that a person has to know exactly what he is smell­ing before he can detect it with his nose. It has a faint fruity flavor and looks like crajikcase oil. Then the M ajor said something that would add no comfort to those who fear a war with Russia. He said that the scientists who de­veloped “tabun” were in Berlin when the Russians took over and probably became subject to Soviet control. Speculation was that It was not used by the Germans because of a reluctance to engage in chemical warfare for a lack of knowledge of what weapons in this field m ight be possessed by the Allies. OLIVER m iST : Fagin Is Issue Intelligent Jews would draw little consolation from the violent .acts of their fellow men in multi-torn Berlin. W ith the world on tenterhooks over the possibility of a third world war and with the issue of Palestine not yet completely settled as it af­fects ' the Jews, a mob of Berlin Jews saw fit to demonstrate over the showing of a British-made film .THE FILM was “Oliver Twist,” a story fam iliar to almost every English-speaking schoolboy and, ap­parently, fam iliar to a great many Jews as well. The Berlin Jews, it seemed, coiJdn’t stomach the Dickens crea­ tion, Fagin, one of the m ajor char­acters in the story. Fagin, depicted as a Jew, is an unlovely character who teaches children to steal for him and accords them brutal treat­ ment. The charge that the film was “anti-Semitic” was hurled by the Jewish demonstrators. Their demon­ stration was effective. It resulted in temporary w ithdrawal of the film . German police hospitalized some of the rioters, but said they could not continue to protect the theatre. THE EN TIRE A FFA IR provided a disturbing spectacle. Berlin, sup­ posed to be the proving groimd of the ability of nations to work to­ gether, has become, instead, the malododous corpse of that concep­ tion. People Are Funny And, people are funny, in many of the things they do. This woman, Charlotte Kierstein, 33, on probation for a check swindle verdict, couldn’t keep a job.

A-BOMBS: Whom To Tell? Government officials were being frank, bilt futile. They said they hadn’t figured out how to tell Ameri­cans ways in which to protect them­ selves from A-bombs without letting the whole world in on the “know how.”Their dilem m a, A-bomb officials said, is how to disseminate this in­form ation at home and keep it at home. No defense plans exist, for area defense. W a S h m g t o n D i 9 C S l j North, South Fought Hard Over President Buchanan By BAUKHAGE Neuif Andyst and Commentator. W ASHINGTON.— ^Democratic harm ony, so far as the D ixiecrat re­volt is concerned, remains an uncertain quantity. Democrats, basically, are still Democrats, but there wiU always be certain fundam ent^ d if­ferences between IJorth and South w hich existed even before slavery and secession became issues.Beyond that, however, receiit clashes with the Dixlecrats are largely only a levelling off process and probably nothing a sensible compromise cannot cure. People outside of Washington are often surprised that differences still arise between North a n d South over ancient m at­ ters which most of the country has forgotten. The coun­ try has also forgot­ten that it was here that the earliest out­ breaks of sectional feeling took place.As early as 1848, there was a riot fol­lowing, an “under­ ground” slave - run- R/iiTRnani!- incident inBAU KH A G E household servants were spirited oft to free­ dom. The Abolitionist Weekly was stormed and the capital suffered the biggest attack of jitters it had had since the British binmed the White House 34 years before. Nine years later a band of armed ruffians from Baltimore entered the city bent on help­ ing the “ Know Nothing” candi­ dates in the local election. (We had local elections then.) The marines had to be called out: six men were WUed and twice as many wounded. Tlie tide continued to rise and no President, from Tyler to Buchanan, could or would do anything about it. It was an open secret that Bu­chanan’s sympathies were largely south of the Mason-Dixon line. Historians agree that he learned in advance the decision in the famous Dred Scott slavery case which was one of the last of the explosions which started the Civil W ar. To­ day supreme court secrets are kept secret. But Buchanan knew the court had ruled that Dred Scott was not a citizen under the meaning of the Constitution, and could not be made a citizen; further that the Constitution affirm ed a property right in slaves, and such slave prop­ erty was protected by the “ due process of law” clause. Buchanan realized what the effect of this decision woiild be, but in bis Inauguration speech piously advised the country to accept the verdict, no matter what it was. Later when southern sentiment grew in the capital, Buchanan did try 'to organize a m ilitia, but con­ gress would have none of it. The regular arm y troops in the city were known to be of doubtful loyalty. The m ilitia, much larger on paper, coiild muster only 150 men. Meanwhile th e southern group, the M ilitant Jackson Demo­ cratic association, was drilling 800 men. Finally the m ilitia managed to get a thoiisand men under arm s. But feeling ran high, and pn Washing­ ton’s birthday following the election of Abraham Lincoln by the elec­ toral college but before bis inaugu­ration, the m ilitia paraded. Ex- President Tyler, a Vurginian, went to Buchanan and protested the fact that they had, been allowed to dis­ play the Stars and Stripes, and Bu­ chanan is said to have apologized. Most people' have forgotten the northern animosity toward Buchan­ an, but it was to crop up again in m y tim e when it was the subject of one of those asidulous debates for which Sen. Cabot Lodge was notorious. Many Presidents are memorialized in stone in Washing­ ton, but not a ll, and in Lodge’s tim e, Buchanan was one who was not. Buchanan had been a bachelor and had taken his niece w ith him to the White House as hostess to as­sist in the brilliant entertainments for which he was noted. She later became Mrs. H arriett Lane Johns­ton, lived to an affluent old age and when she died, left the stmi of $50,000 (which bought a lot more marble and bronze then than it would now) for the erection of a statue of her uncle. The donation of a site required Uie approval of congress. This donation was cheap, consider­ ing that, unlike sim ilar tributes to the nation’s ' hero, a ll ex­penses were provided. Congress was w illing enough, but not that stalwart yankee. Lodge, - who lived perhaps nearer to age of Buchanan to his own genera­tion. He chose to dig up aU the un­ savory memories his scholarly brain could muster to block the donation of the site. N atw ally hot southern blood grew hotter, and what some of M r. Lodge’s opponents lacked in data, 'hey more than made up in oratory. The motion was passed, but not until tempers had been thoroughly ruffled. The site chosen for the statue was not conspicuous. In fact, I had never seen it until it was brought to my attention by a gentleman fuBy con­ versant with the details of the dis­ pute and likewise fam iliar with every nook and cranny of the capi­ta l city. I asked him to show me statue. He said he knew where it was. In M eridian Park. But just before we arrived at the scene, he paused and said: “It ought to be here.” It developed that he had never seen it either. It was there—in an inconspicuous spot, a huge bronze statue, of good workmanship, backed by a wide exedra which is defined as “a seat with a high back”—but this would seat several squads of infantry. ; It is a huge piece of stonework flanked by two symbolic figures in classic style, one representing dip­ lomacy, in which Buchanan was skilled (he had served weU as m in­ ister to Great Britain) and one representing the law in which, if we m ay judge by his breach of ethics in connection with the su­ preme court decision, he was not of equal stature. Perhaps his niece was sensitive on this point for she specified the inscription—the only words on the statue beside the dates of his term and the single word “Buchanan”—It reads:— “ The Incomparable statesman whose walk was upon the moun­ tain ranges of the law .” (Al­ though It isn’t Indicated, it was Buchanan’s o ra attorney-gen­ eral who said ihat. There is a certain ironic touch in the fact that Buchanan’s memory had to be perpetuated in stone 1^ fam ily subsidy, for from 1820 to 1830 he was one of the few members of congress who pursued the futile attem pt to get ccfngress to approve a suitable m em orial in the capitol to George Washington. Efforts in this direction either were circumvented or ignored until 1831, the centenary of Washington’s birth. At that tim e, the public was so aroused over the indifference of congress that George Watterson, then librarian of congress, formed an association which raised the money for fte Washington monu­ ment which was—eventually—com­pleted on the spot originally chosen for a statute of Washington by M ajor L ’Enfant who drew &e plans for the city. The President said recently he didn’t depend on opinion polls un­der any circumstances. W ell, if anybody has a reason for that a t­ titude, it certainly would be H a r ^ Truman.

Bikini Test Probe O EC RET A R Y of Defense Forres- tal and the navy are moving frantically to hush it up but a full- fledged congressional investigation of the effects of the Bikini bomb tests is in the offing. In fact, Sen. Brien McMahon, chairm an of the atomic energy committee, m ay an­ nounce it any day. Senators say privately that they are fed up with the hush-h\ish pol­icy of the brass hats. While the senate committee is 100 per cent in favor of keeping secret all atomic inform ation of possible value to an enemy, they do not believe either the U.S. congress or the American people are an enemy. Also, com­mittee members feel the brass hats are deliberately suppressing con­siderable information about the ef­ fectiveness of the bomb to cover up mistakes they have made in failing to redesign or abolish warships. One interesting fact now in the hands of the senate com­ mittee is part of the inside story of Bikini. It shows that of the 73 ships involved in the Bikini tests, more than 61 were sunk or destroyed. This is an enormous loss from only two bombs. Yet it was never released in understandable form to tlie American public. On the con­ trary, news releases were care­ fully spread out over a period of tim e so that the man in the street never reaUy knew what happened. What Bombs Did The real fact, however, is that two bombs at Bikini sank the Bat­tleship Arkansas, the carrier Sara­ toga, the Japanese battleship Na- gato, two cruisers, 10 destroyers, three submarines, 12 transports and numerous other vessels. T h e aircraft carrier Independence, which was subjected to intense blasts from both Bikini bombs, is now anchored off San Francisco, permanently destroyed—usable only as a testing ground to determine the possibility of removing radio­ activity. This is still dangerous two years after the ship was attacked.Members of the senate atomic energy committee point out that the loss of so many ships from one bomb would be considered a m ajor naval disaster at any tim e, yet, because the public is not aware of the potency of the bomb, our “bath­ tub” adm irals are busily pouring another 14 m illion dollars down the drain on a 56,000-ton super- carrier which could be put out of action permanently if a bonlb were dropped within half a m ile of it. Problem “Insolvable” Information brought to the sen­ ate committee’s attention by Dr. David Bradley, a scientist who was an official observer at Biidni, re­ veals that, after the tests, the navy tried franticaUy to remove radio­ activity from damaged ships but without success. Bradley reported that ‘‘salt water, lye, foamite, soap, all spread with liberal amounts of gob profanity, had no avail in re­moving the radioactivity.” Sandblasting was partly effec­ tive, but you can’t sandblast a whole ship under battle condi­ tions. Nor can you sandblast Pearl Harbor or the Bremer­ton shipyards or Chicago. Pos­ sibly, with great quantities ot strong acid, you m ight be able to remove enough paint to clear the decks of fission products. But short of that, the coat of radioactivity administered by the A-bomb is on to stay. Bradley concluded '• that, “The problem of decontaminating th e total service of a battle ship or the brick and cement of a future Hiro­shima remains practically insolv- able.” Plutonium is the most dangerous atomic element of all. It podges in the bones, destroys t h e blood- producing marrow and m ay kill either by wrecking the red and white blood ceUs of the victim or it may kill the victim many years later through the formation of bone tumors. Plutonium cannot be re­ moved by any known process. None of this information is secret. A ll of it is known to many of the doctors of all na­ tions. Yet Secretary Forrestal, who this year is building more than 400 m illion dollars worth ot new ships, hasn’t paid miich attention to the problem. This is the inside reason, why the atomic energy comnlittee is now serious!^ planning a full- dress investigation ot Bikini and ; its results. Most im portant document th« scientists are urging the atomic energy committee to break loos« is the nonsecret sections of the re­ port of the evaluation board of th« joint chiefs of staff on the Bildn tests which defense secretary For restal has bottled up. The repor concludes with the significant state­ m ent that “Future, wars employing atomic bombs m ay well destroy nations and change present stand­ ards of civilization.” ETERNAL VIGILANCE, NOT TELEGRAMS . . .

You m ust have. He’s been cited for bravery a dozen times. Consid­ered one of the finest officers in the arm y, knows a ll the answers, as far as strategy is concerned. Sm art. A hero. W ell, maybe he was a herot I sup­ pose any soldier is a hero who knocks tiie devil out of the enemy, no m atter how he does it. That’s war. S till somehow I ’d always had a notion that a hero was one who braved odds. Queer the ideas kids get. Queer the way they stick with a chap as he grows older. At any rate, I was with Old General Jake’s outfit at Lam eraux. Remember Lameraux? Sure, General Jake got his biggest m edal for what hap­ pened at Lameraux. W ell, sir, the. day before the Boche moved in—of course we didn’t know it was the day be­ fore until later — up comes a messenger from headquarters with instructions for General Jake to hold Lam eraux as long as he could. 1 m ean, headquar­ ters knew General Jake’s tac­tics, and they didn’t want him walldng out without some show of resistance. General Jake smiled thinly to himself and tore the orders into little pieces and threw the pieces away. And then the next day the Germans moved in. We had ample warning. Everything was in readi­ ness for a hasty said efficient re­ treat. Of courstf, the sm art thing to do was blow up the bridge, wMch offered the only means of approach, before quitting the village, there­by impeding tiie Germans no end. Everyone expected orders to that effect, but General Jake had a sly look in his eyes. He was thinking of those orders from headquarters, I guess, and thinking what folks m ight say it he retreated as he planned.So instead of ordering the bridge blown up, he issued some hurried instructions. Then he started the retreat. Two m iles up the road he circled the outfit and headed back through some woods. We Waited at the edge of the woods for an hour, watching the Germans cross the bridge into the village. Tlien Gen­ eral Jake sent a messenger scam­pering oft to the field station he had established^ , Ten minutes later there was a terrific e^losion. The bridge flew into the air like kindling wood. H e Germans who were on the Lamer­aux side stared in amazement, but their amazement gave way to con­ cern, for just then General Ja W s boys came swarming out of the woods. W hat followed was pretty aw­ ful even tor a w ar. Our men outnumbered those Germans who had crossed the bridgci about thr.ee to one. We had the advantage of knowing just.w hat we were to do and having a Hock ot machine guns set up ready for use. By the tim e the slaughter was finished and our ovm wounded cared for and the outfit organized again, the body of Germans left on the other side of the river had built a pontoon bridge, and what with this and boats and rafts tiiey were coming across with murdeir in their eyes.But General Jake had planned everything. Before the first of the rem aining body of G erm ans touched \he Lam eraux side of the river we were in retreat, and * fast retreat at that, although there was plenty of tim e and nothing much to worry about. That evening we reached the town of L a Roche, which was oc­cupied by plenty of our boys, and .there we made camp. I don’t know exactly what sort of report General Jake turned in at headquarters, but I do know that he was dted for the Lam eraux episode not long after. That’s the sort of filing that makes a w ar hero, I gness. At w y rate, that’s 41ie rank Gen­eral Jake goes by now — war hero.

Davie County Farm Ownership borrowers have just held their an­ nual meeting lor the 1948 crop , and record book year. One &rm family paid in full and one new loan was made. Seventeen iwn- ilies made a report from a sum­ mary of their form and home re­ cord book. The government had an initial investment of 395,463 in these farm loans or an average of $5,615 per farm. These £anns av­ eraged 108 acres with 48 acres in crops. The families met in the court house. The discussion was led by Locke Holland. County Su­pervisor, who reviewed the sum­ mary of the 1948 record books. During this discussion it was brought out that the average an­ nual repayment is $247, whereas they pay on their loan in 1948 an average of $448, or 1.8 payments These Farm Ownership borrowers were $818 or 3.5 paym< ..iS ahead of schedule. Fiv- were just on schedule and 12 were ahead of schedule and ranging up to 26 years ahead. Net cask income jumped from $1157 in 1947 to $1,- 598 in 1948, whereas the general trend in farming from a national St ndpoint has been a smaller net income. Gross income for . 1948 was $433 over 1947. Total farm expenses increased only $20 over 1947 and to u l home living expen­ ses increased only $36. From ev­ ery dol ar the families earned it showed they spend 23c. for home living: 35c. for farm expense; 10c. for payment on debts other than debt on frirm; 16c. for purchase of additional capital goods for form or house; and 16c, of payment on . farm debt. After the summary of I their 1948record books were re­ viewed the families discussed ways. , and means of improving their farm i 'and home op<!rations., They con­cluded that a must in a profitable £arm program is to follow good form and home practices and spe­ cial emphasis wa< given to better land preparation, using higher quality seed and the proper a m ount of a high analysis of ferti­lizer. Proper cultivation, harvest and storage of crops was also im ­portant for increased (arm profit. The group realized that they must practice economy to help them while farm prices are declining faster on the products they have for sale than on the goods they have to buy. The goal of all was to get further ahead on their farm loan payments and out of debt as soon as possible. The Farm Ownership program is administered through the Farm­ ers Home Administration and is represented in Davie County by Lrcke Holland. County Supervis or. The office is in the court house, and open only on M on­ days. The purpose of the FO program is to help eligible fanners who cannot secure funds else­ where, to buy family type forms.

No Crystal Ball Needed To Tell Needs of Soil Tests Will Give Farmer Jlnswer to Question You don’t need a crystal ball to tell you whether your sofl needs lim e.A soil test w ill give you the yes or no answer. Where a deficiency exists, a test w ill indicate how much lim e your soil needs. County agricultural agents, vocational agri­cultural teachers or agronomists at state colleges and experiment sta­tions are glad to cooperate in making such tests. Testing is always the safest course in applying lim e. Some soils have plenty of lim e. Adding more m ight be harm ful rather than helpful to crop production. TOU DON’T NEED ft CBY4TAL BALL TO FIND OUT THE FEBTILITV OFYOUR SOIL. To soils that need it, lim e is the keystone of any well-planned soil building program. Lime adds needed calcium. Lime boosts the efficiency of fertilizers.- It neutral­ izes acid soils and makes possible the growth of sweet clover and al­ falfa. These deep-rooted legumes add precious organic m atter to the soil. But lim e by itself cannot do the whole soil building job. It has to be supported by the generous use of phosphate and potash fertilizers, by plowing under deep-rooted legumes, by the return to the soil of aU possible anim al manure and crop. residues. Plowing Under Organic Matter Aids OxidizationPlowing under some organic m atter in the field or garden is a good way of disposing of crop resi­dues because the microbes “burn” or oxidize them. They do this slowly, yet the proc­ ess of microbal combustion of such materials m ay have disastrous ef­ fects on a crop planted soon after plowing, in which case it is said the crop was “btmied out.” Microbes need more than energy “ go” foods. They need the “grow” foods, too, just as humans do. They do not demand that the nitrogen be. given them in the complete pro­teins or the more complex com­ pounds of this element as humans do; nevertheless, they are jis t as exacting in their needs for nitrogen, at least, in its simpler forms.Dr. W illiam A, Albrecht, chair­m an of the department of soils. University of Missouri college of agriculture, in discussing how soil microbes get their food, points out that they get it before growing crops get theirs. $732 Turkey Elwood Swanson of Turlock, California., with his grand champ­ion turkeys at the Far West turkey show.

It takes study, it takes, work. The call is necessary, of course, but it is not all. Jesus set the church an example here as always. He called his Twelve; but he was not so foolish as to think that just because he had called them they were aU ready to go out and take the lead. Jesus put them through what may be called the first Leadership Training School in the history of the Christian church. Dr. Foreman W ho Was EnroUed? r E TWELVE Apostles were the training class. Not a ll Jesus’ disciples were equal to it; perhaps some of them actually did not have the tim e. But these Twelve had al­ready been set off from the others, not because they were better men, but in order to do more direct ser­ vice in Christ’s name. There was nothing form al about Jesus’ training school. It m et wherever he was at the tim e—in a house, or by the roadside, or on a hill-top. There were no set hours, no textbooks, credits or diplomas. Jesus kept it going-"; to the very end, for even after the Resurrection, as Luke tells us (in Acts 1) he was still teaching his Twelve. « • * W hat D id They Study? Th e r e w a s no printed circular,, no bulletin, no prospectus or catalogue. -All the “ courses” amounted to just one thing; learn­ ing to do what Jesus was doing. To this day, that is the aim of all Christian training. M ark and Luke mention at least four things Jesus’ training-school students learned from him : preaching, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and pray­ ing. It would not be quite true to say that part of what they learned was spiritual and part practical, for there is nothing more practical than praying as Jesus taught it, and Jesus never ministered to people’s physical needs without touching their spirits too. Many a person now in some hospital for the insane need not have gone there if he had had the help that a well-trained m in­ ister can give. Ministers today are not taught how to perform m iracles like tiie feeding of the 5,000; but knowing that people’s physical well-being has a gread deal to do with their spir­itual welfare, the alert young Chris­ tian m inister of today wiU be keen­ ly interested in Christian social ac­ tion.« * « How D id They Learn? T h e t w e l v e learned by doing. It is the only way you learn any­ thing of a practical nature. Memo­rizing a textbook, memorizing rules, is not learning. You have learned how to do a thing only when you can do it. Of course you have to see it done, first. A boy on the farm learns to be a farm er .by watching his father and helping him , more than from school courses in agriculture, useful as they are. There is nothing to take the place of apprenticesiiip under one who knows. So Jesus’ Twelve watched him , listened to him , helped him , before they were trusted on their own.« « « W ill It S till W ork? Th e m e t h o d s Jesus taught are just as effective today as they ever were. Not all churches nowa­ days follow his line to the letter; in fact, most churches do not. But the basic principles which Jesus drilled into his first traveling representa­ tives are stiU good. One is faith. Missionaries in the 20th Cen­tury are required to take a great deal more equipment with them to their fields than one pair of shoes, one cane and an empty purse. Tet who can deny that any missionary of any church In China or in Korea today, must live by faith from day to day? Another of Jesus’ principles was direct contact. People are not won to Christ chiefly by sermons fronn pulpits, blit by in-the-home contacts. Ministers - know this, missionaries know it; Sunday school 'teachers ought to know it too. Getting ac­ quainted with your boys and giW i'at their homes, and being a friend to them there, is what wiU give your Sunday teaching its greatest force and success.

It continues to work us wonders despite the m any ways we have hedged it .about. The sorry plight of our time is that we have found such a fine way of life, proved that it works .so well, then cared so little to pro­ tect and cherish it. Yes, a lot of us pay first-rate lip service to free enterprise. But when it’s time for the crucial test, what happens? We let the politicians (who ought to become statesmen when elected) spread the death-web of bureaucracy far and wide. We seem to agree that gov­ ernment can do it—oh, just almost anything—so much better! We tax industry and incomes until capital is too scared to have any enter­ prise left. In short, we back en­terprise right up to the precipice, and seem not to realize what we have done. 50,000 Lives I have said that free enterprise still works us wonders. One of the most amazing examples of free­dom of business enterprise has been working miracles right before our eyes now for five years, and we have sarcely noticed it. One of the nation^s top science writers, J. D. Ratcliff, has outlined the miracle- story of penicillin manufacture in the January issue of “Nations Busi­ ness.” Ratcliff says this great med­icine is now the biggest selling item in the drug trade, saving 50,000 lives yearly from pneumonia alone. Just a few short years ago pen­icillin was made in laboratory flasks and sold for a fancy price. But, then, American industry tackled the job of producing penicillin. At first the quoted market price was $20 per 100,000 units, but today a dol­ la r’s worth of penicillin will rout dreaded pneumonia. Courage and Vision How did all this happen? Well, it took enterprise and lots of it. Pen­ icillin manufacture was pretty much a guessing game—at first. It took courage to invest and to plan. According to HatclirC, one sm all company in the chemical industry had this courage and vision.It seems that a man named John L. Sm ith, president of Charles Pfizer & Company, B roo kl^, gets the m ain honors for penicillin m an­ ufacture. Smith was an im m igrant to this country at the age of two years, and worked his way up to an education in chemistry. After be became president of that sm all firm, specialists in microbes and fermentation processes. Smith heard of penicillin. Then Smith took a chance, made possible by America’s system of enterprise.A Real Test This man Smith made plans to spend 4% m illion dollars for a giant new penicillin plant. That was big money, for his company was do­ing only about twice that amount of business annually. Besides, sci­ence was not certain about what penicillin could do. But Smith had seen it save lives, and he intended to produce it. He did, in vats as large as tank cars. The demand was great. Then others began to make it. Still, the Pfizer company’s sales jumped to 50 m illion dollars a year. The country had its prec­ious penicillin. This is a grand success story. But it is not a new one. The same kind of story has been repeated count­ less times in the building of Amer­ ica. Freedom of enterprise has helped make our land into a land of plenty. It would be well if we should test every bill in Congress, every national policy, with the question: w ill it encourage, or w ill it hinder, private enterprise?^ Have you heard Dr. Benson and Ui» ndio drama "Land or the Froe"t Check rnir local itaUon ior lime.

B. laeDhoor. .iUh Polnt.;N.C. R4 When we consider the high taxes that we are now paying, and the fact that there are mnltitndes of people out of employmeut, or work* ing part lime, we wonder how much more taxation we can stand. Kvery way we turn it is tax, tax, tax, and the outlook is that there will be an increase rather than de­ crease. It seems that we are going to reach the breaking point. Never have w» seen, in our dav, such faigh taxes as we are now paving; and in spite of all this I suppose we are still increesing oar national debt instead of decreasing it. At the rate we are still increasing our national debt ever be paid? Who will pay It? I have always heard that when an individual lives beyond his Jn. come, or beyond bis metfns, he will eventually “ go broke.” This is tcasonaltle Even a great bank ac count will eventually be exausted if one takes *ut more than he put in. W hy Isn’t the same true of a nation? If it applies to the indivi- dual I do not see why it won’t ap. ply to a nation. The reason indi- viduals go broke is oftentimes be­ cause they want to live too high. They want too much. Not only must their actual needs be supplied but they want a great deal extra. Is isextra mon»y for drink, for to­ bacco, for the movies, for new cars, for fine clothing, for pleasure, for excitement, and so on. They de- mand much above their income with which to gratify the lusts of the flesh. This Is true very, verv largely todav on'the part of tens of thousands of our yonng people. I think our Government has sim. ply spent bill ons of dollars to paci­ fy folks, and to get them to sane, tion lots of ungodly things, or at least some tbiugs In order to raise more money the nation has also permitted the cursed liquor forces to flood the country with beer and liquor, and the theatres to put on pictures that are wreck- mg our youth morally and spiritn- ailv. SncL places are beingi pat­ ronized t'v multiplied millibns ot people. All this is for money. H the taxes from snob evils mean s much tor our national expenses, why are our taxes 4ncrea^ed all tbi time? How much more can wt stand? Surely the breaking point is just ahead.

The new plant will boost still more Britain’s steel output, which continues to break records. Production target for 1948 is 14,.'i00.000 tons of ingot steel. Output during the first four months of this year was at the rate of jtlst over 15 million tons a year, a record for the industry. Architect for this tremeiidous pro­ ject is Sir' Percy Thomas, honorary member ot the American Institute of Architects and three times president of the South Wales Institute of ArcM- tects. The Steel Company of Wales wlH draw all its limestone supplies from Its own quarry at Comelly. The wharf and dock at Margan are to be enlarged to cape with extra ore re­ quired for the increased production. Welsh mills already produce 70 per cent of Britain’s tinplate. Check Pastures, Haylands, For Perns, Parmers Urged livestock raisers are warned of the danger of fern poisoning if pastures become scanty as a result of hot, dry weather. The warning’, by American Vatsrin- mrj Medical association, declared; "Dairy cows are likely to eat danger­ ous quantities of ferns when good grass becomes scarce as a result of over-grazing or unfavorable weather. An animal stricken with fern poison­ing may become suddenly and acutely ill and die within one to three days. Or the condition may come on more slowly, starting with a loss of ©pe­ tite and a slight ncs-b’ced. T'’?se cases linger on for fivs or 10 d5ys, but practically ail are fp.tal.” To guard against such farm­ers are ui^ed to check their pr>.-:*i!res and hay lands for the presenoo of h’ a- vy growths of fern. If a case of fern poisoning i.'; sus­ pected, the herd should bs p-oved to new forage immediately, ne-r’injr the results of a diagnosis to c’-t^r -'ne whether this or some infectir--. dis­ ease is the real cause of troub’c. Freezing of Egr^s Only fresh clean eggs should be se­lected for freezing. When preparing whole eggs, stir each e.f'g slightly with a fork—^just enough to mix yoli? and white. Pour into small ba-s. seal and freeze. When yolks are to be froz­ en, beat them slightly—not eno-"h to make them fltiffy. To each six egg yolks add one teaspoon of !!u<?ar or one-half teaspoon of salt. This pre­vents yolks from con.srealinK durinsr storage. A one-half pint packarre is convenient for freezinsr e<Tfrs. since all eggs In a package should be raed promptly after thawing. Cont-.iners should be filled only nine-tenths full to allow space for expansion during freezing. Family Income Figures More than four out of every 10 non­ farm families with Incomes of S5.000 a year or more live in small towns— cities with populations of under 50,- 000 and rural non-farm areas. This is shown in data by the U. S. bureau of the census on the distribution of family income In the United States by size of place of residence. The other, families in this Income class live In the larger cities. Even here, however, the big cities do not have a preponderant edge, indicating that big family Incomes and big cities do not necessarily go together, any popular notion to the contrary^ When Margarine Sfade Debnt Margarine was first developed in 18T0 in response to the demand of Napoleon ir i of France that someone provide a nutritious spr?!a.d to s-'f.v guard the health of F’-anc'-.'.' starved soldiers and civiV'n-'?. ’'Trjn the French chemist, Hi'5r>oI’'te M^Te- Mouries, first mar,r^ac*’'red ir''r"'n- rine, he used princiTis.’7v bsef fat churned with milk.

JEST JESTIN Difference of Opinion /TVNE day a brokerage urm learned v / that in his lectures at George­ town university Supreme Court Jus­ tice Jolm M. Harlan sometimes dis­cussed pending cases. Immediately they had a sm art idea. Why not have their lawyer enter the class at the universi^, and thereby gar­ ner some advance iiints on court decisions which m ight affect the stock market? The deed was done. One night the justice disclosed the principles involved in an important pending case, and set forth iiis con­ clusions. The broker’s lawyer rushed away to his firm and coun­ seled them to play the market to fit tbe anticipated ruling.Came the decision, but the firm lost heavily in the market, because the decision had been contrary to the lawyer’s expectation. When the lawyer anxiously sought the printed decision, he was struck by a single line prii) at the bottom, which read: "M r. Justice Harlan dis­ sents.” W HIPFERSNAPPER The clock struck 12, Father came to the top of the stairs and boomed; "Young man, is your self-starter broken?” And he rereit'ed tliis retort:“It doesn’t matter as long as there is a crank in the house.” SHORT RETORT One of the shortest letters on record was written by a New York renter in response to his land­ lord’s notice to vacate the house at once. Aware of bis rights under state regulations, the renter re­ plied:“ Sir: *‘I remahi,Yours truly.” A Chestnnt "D arling,” he cried, “I swear by this great tree, whose spread­ ing branches shade us from the heat—by this noble tree T swear I have never liked another girl.’' The girl smiled faintly. “You al­ ways say such appropriate things, Fred," she murmured " This is a chestnut tree.” A PPLIED PSYCHOLOGY The new ecretary was on the carpet. “Miss Brown,” said the boss, “ You’re very attractive.” “ ReaUy?” blushed the typist. “Yes, you dress well, your voice is modulated, yoiv deportment is beyond criticism .” “You really shouldn’t pay me so m any compliments,” she said. “Oh, that’s aU right. I just wanted to put you in a cheerful mood before taking up the m atter of ptmctua tion and spelling.” Plenty of Room Two ladies who had not seen each other for a long tim e met one day on the street.“Oh, M ary,” Blanche excitedly exclaimed. “Fve had a lot hap­ pen to me since I saw you last. I had my teeth out and an electric stove and refrigerator put in ” Some In Davie A Commission of the Nortii Carolina Legislature estimated that 2 percent of our population were feebleminded. If this is true and if they have children at the same rate as do other North Caro­ linians, there were 7 children bom in Davie County last year to fee- bleminded parents. Do you with your intimate knowledge of the citizens of your county consider that this estimate is approximate­ ly correct? Some of these children will in­ herit the limited brains of their parents. Others may appear nor­ mal. None of them, however, will be brought up under satisfactory conditions, since a feeble minded parent cannot give them the sur­ roundings and upbringing that a child should have. Fortunately, North Carolina has provided protection for such cases by making selecsive sterilization a- vailable. For either man or wom­ an this is a simple operation which removes nothing from the body, and makes no change that the patient can detect except the de sired one that children are not bom. It has not yet been widely used because most people do not knew about it, or having heard of it, confuse it with an entirely dif­ ferent procedure. W hen everyone understands that sterilization in­ volves no sacrifice and that it does not cause changes in sexual char­ acteristics, it will be easier to pro­ tect the next generation. Fewer unfortunate children will then be bom to parents who are too fee­ bleminded to take proper care of them and from whom they may inherit little intelligence.

Personality Plays Bi|r P ^ In Aoddents, Survey Shows Vteple who habitually crumple the tioAeta ot other people’s cars do not do It because of poor eyesight but be­ cause of petwmtiity. This is the con- cludon reached by Northwestern uni- veidty psychologists after a study of personal characteristics o f commer­cial bus drivers u related to their ac- M e n t records. Istenslve questlonnaiTeB among iW drivers with both good and bad neords were issued, in order to de- tMmlne which personality factors co­ incide with accident proneness. They bnmd that, contrary to general be­ lief, differences between safe and ac­ cident-prone drivers on the job could not be attributed to any differences in visual acuity, depth of perception, night vision, recovery from glare, complex reaction time or mental test scores, but rather to basic personality differences which tend to make an in­dividual “accident-prone" or “acci­ dent-free.” Rigid company screening, however, had eliminated applicants who were markedly deficient in the former qualities, the educators point­ ed out. Answers showed that the accident- prone drivers tend to decide things on the spur of the moment, without fore­ thought. They like to tell "tall stories” and enjoy parties a t which there is a lot of "loud fim.” They have a ready, often unreasoned, retort when their work is criticized. The safe driver will stick with a •lost cause,” think about himself and his plans a great deal; and although believing a person should get eight hours of sleep to be healthy, he wears himself out by taking on too mufh work. He prefers conservative styles in clothes; likes to' think, through a problem before 'he tackles It, and en­ joys spendhig an evening alone. Parting Seconds A pl’jm p husband, who had been working in tbe garden, entered the house and said to ills wife. “How come you bought those new work pants for me so cheap the other day?” “I found them in a bargain base­ m ent,” she answered “They were seconds.” "Y eah,” he grunted.

Recently an employer in this county who was not filing Social Security T ax Returns (whose name, by the way, we are not per­ mitted to give) was called to our attention by the widow of a per­ son who had worked for this cm ployer for about two years. W hen she filed her claim, she alleged her husband’s employment and in checking his wage record, we found no wages reported by this particular employer. Contact with iiim revealed that he didn’t know he was required tg pay Social Se­ curity Tax if he only had one em­ ployee.

Every employer having one or more persons working part time or full time for him in employ­ ment covered by the Social Se­ curity Act must have an employ­ er’s identification number and file quarterly Social Security Tax Re­ turns. He should file Form SS 4 with the Social Security Adminis­ tration, and an identification num­ ber will be assigned to him . This identification number should be shown on all employment tax re­ turns filed with the Collector of Internal Revenue, as well as on any correspondence with the Col­ lector on Social Security matters. Individuals who are just start­ ing a new business should file this form, or those who have been op­ erating a business and who have never applied for an identification number should also file. Employ­ ers must have an identification number for their employer tax re­ turns just as an employee has a Social Security Account Number to ideniify his Social Security Ac­ count.

THE DAVIE RE€ORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. -WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS- Truman Threatens to Take Battle On Legislative Program to People; MacArthur Sees No Russian Attack ________t*S NOTE: When opinions areVestern Newspaper Union's news anal TRUMAN: All Aboard! President Tnanan, who obvious­ ly regards himself as the “m an with a m andate,” was tossing some not too subtle threats toward con­ gressmen inhospitable to his legis­ lative proposals.Keep fooling with me, he said, in effect, and I ’ll hit the old stimip again—and you know what that means.The President meant that if con­ gress didn’t set about soon enact­ ing into law the pledges he made to the people during the November campaign, he’d hit the trail again and take the issue to the people— the way Franklin D. Roosevelt used to do.M R. TRUMAN apparently felt that by .so doing he could whip pub­ lic sentiment up to such a pitch that congress would be forced to go along with his program, or else face possible defeat in the 1950 elections.Not having the vocal equipment of his predecessor, who could get desired results with liis “fireside chats,” Mr. Truman would have to climb aboard a train it he wanted to influence the masses.Strangely enough, congress didn’t seem unduly perturbed at the President’s threat. Things went along in congressional procedure about as usual, with Republicans charging that the 81st congress is also a "do nothing” congress, while Democratic members were inviting comparison with the “do nothing” 80th congress. IT WAS REA D ILY evident that M r. Truman was needled by lack of congressional action on his pro­ gram. Reiterating his campaign pledges of last fall, in which he de­clared the central issue was the “welfare of a ll the people," M r. Truman asserted that lobbyists, pressure groups, and controlled edi­torial pages, columnists and com­ mentators w ere offering deter­mined opposition to his legislative program. “A ll we have on our side,” he said, “is the people.” Pointing out that he found on his campaign tour that the people of the nation are concerned about their government, M r. Truman termed that concern a “fme thing.” “I propose to do a U I can to help it along,” he added. Then he hurled the threat: “In fact, I m ay even get on the train again and make an­other tour around the co»mtry to teU the people how their govern­ment is getting on.” INFLATION: Has Two Faces Observers purportedly on the “in­ side” of things in Washington re­ gard approval of the congressional committee on the economic report —Mr. Truman’s proposal for con­ trols to ward off inflation—as lip service only and argue that none of the committee expect the pro­ posal to win congressional favor. It was said the favorable com­ mittee report was made only to “save face” for the President as he seeks to implement the pledges he made in his election campaign. THE COMMITTEE vote, which w ill send the measure to the floor of congress, was 7 to 4 for approval, and that came only after the pro­ posals of the President had been toned down. Critics of the Truman plan say it poses, the unique theory that the country is in the m idst of an in­ flation and deflation period at the same time—a condition admittedly difficult of comprehension. They assert, too, that it would give dangerous controls to the President at a tim e when they ac­ tually are not needed. One commentator observed that if any members of the committee considering the proposal had had any idea it would be enacted by the congress, it would have been killed completely before it ever got to the floor of the house or senate. JAPAN: Reds Answered The Russians had an answer to what would happen if they ever moved on Japan.Gen. Douglas MacArthur, In a special interview, declared that he did not expect any attack iq>on Japan by the Russians, but if that occurred, “we,” meaning th e United States, “should certainly defend her.”THE EN TIRE ID E A of a Kus- DENTURES: Save Life In Saidt Ste.

W ith the U.S. as chief oc­cupation force, how could the Soviets launch an attack of the Japanese without, in effect, making war on the United States?But, General MacArthur evident­ ly held the subject serious e n o u ^ to comment about it.“In case of another war, we do not want Japan to fight," Mac­ Arthur said. “Japan’s role is to be the Switzerland of the Pacific,” he explained. THEN H E MADE a telling point in speculation of a Russian attack on Japan; “Even if the Soviet government had aggressive intentions toward Japan, Russia would be incapable of carrying them out unless she cotdd secure mastery of the w r and either had a far Eastern fleet of her own or possessed the means of neutralizing any action by our fleet. “Russia could not obtain air pre­ dom inance," he went on. “On Okinawa I had constructed at the end of the war 25 airfields with the capacity to dispatch B-29’s, then our largest bombers, on 3,500 missions a* day. The whole of east­ ern Asia from Singapore to Vladi­vostok would lie w ithin range of those machines.” HE D ID NOT point out that with development of the bombing arm of the air force since the w ar, even farther distances for bombing pur­ poses covdd be covered by present- day missile carriers. Of the function of Japan in the American strategy of defense, Mac­Arthur said: “We never intended to use Japan as an ally. A ll we want her to do is rem ain neutral.” UNIVERSE: No Limits? Since the first m an lifted his head and gazed in puzzled awe at a star-studded sky, m ankind has been trying to discover the secrets of the universe. To that end, the huge, SMW-lnch Palom ar mountain telescope was built and put into operation. But the telescope’s first' contribu­ tion to the sum of m an’s knowledge of the universe served only to deep­en the mystery. Astronomers using it found that there is no outer edge to the uni­ verse of stars, and the look they took was twice as far as m an has ever looked before. The astronomers got some pic­tures of nebulae a billion light- yeare distant and spaced about a m illion light-years apart. Each one is a world of stars, like the M ilky Way. The star worlds are about uniformly spread up to. the previous lim its of sight, about a half-biffion light years. THE NEXT STUDY w ill be to find whether there is any thinning of the celestial fam ilies as sight is extended outward. On 2 stunning fkct the discovery brought home was that there is more than one star for every hu­ m an being who ever lived. Nearly every star fam ily, or nebidae, con­ tains more than a hundred m illion individual stars. Now it is science conctirring In the psalm : “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firm a­ ment showeth His handiwork . . Phone Aid Advances A house subcommittee has ap­ proved a bill to let the "government make loans for a vast expansion of telephone service to farm areas. The unanimous action came after the committee had adopted amend­ments aimed at protecting existing telephone companies aind encourag­ing the development of rural tele­ phones by private industry.The bill authorizes REA to make 35-year loans at 2 per cent interest. FEWER JOBS: For White Collois There are many fewer “white col­ lar” job openings than a year ago in most U. S. cities, but high grade personnel is still in demand. The volume of job-seekers, particularly men, is up a ll the way from ten per cent to as much as 300 per cent, but a heavy m ajority of the applicants are below-standard m aterial and there is little m arket for them. This is the tenor of reports from 106 private employment agencies in 42 principal cities from coast to coast, surveyed by the fam ily eco­nomics bureau of, Northwestern Na­tional Life Insurance company. THE “W EEDIN G OUT” .process is now on in full swing, agency ex­ ecutives report, as employers prune down working forces to eliminate the lazy, the inefficient, the chronic absentees and the chronically tardy, “who don’t realize that the wartime gravy-train has rumbled to a stop, and the era of competition is back.” The biggest drop has occtnred in jobs for im trained and junior office help, particularly m ale, the survey finds. But there is stUl a nation­ wide demand for salesmen and sales promotion personnel, and, in most cities, for accountants and other technically trained men. MOST AGENCIES report that sal­ aries are the same or slightly better than last year for experienced or trained personnel, but that employ­ment requirements are stiffer, em­ ployers interview more candidates per job, and check their qualifica­ tions much more thoroughly. The great m ajority of employers dealt with are uncertain as to the future, agencies report, but opti­ mists slightly outnumber pessimists. Most employers feel that pre-war competition is here again, and with it the im mediate necessity of trim ­m ing costs and sharpening effi­ ciency at e v e ^ possible comer. The prevailing attitude is that good busi­ness can be had by means of in­ creased efforts, if pending legisla­ tion does not turn out too imfavora- bly; many concerns are reported as m arking tim e on their future pro­grams until they can see how the new tax program and labor law shape up. Answers Critics Form er Gov. Mon C. W allgren, Washington, nominated by Pres­ ident Trmnan to head the na­tional security resources hoard, denieis critics’ charges at com­ mittee hearing. He was accused of heing “soft toward commun­ism .’’ He branded the charges “ ridiculons and silly.” WAR TALK: Little Ease-up There was little ease-up in the talk of possible war. War rumors were still flying, the latest reporting that the Russians had strengthened their garrisons along tho Soviet-Norwegian border. A “well-informed” Finnish source was credited with the report. The inform ant said the Russian troops had come from the Mur­ mansk area. While not estimating the number involved, he said the troop movements had been observed and apparently were in connection with the stand taken by Norway on the north .Atlantic defense treaty. THE INFORMANT said there were no indications of sim ilar troop movements along the ITbnnish bor­der Norway and R\issia now have a short common frontier in the far north. The frontier was established when the Petsamo region of Fin­ land was ceded to the Soviet union tmder terms of the Russo-Finnish peace treaty. The Soviet union recently pro­ posed to Norway that both nations sign a non-aggression pact. Norway has made it clear she w ill not en­ ter into such a treaty. Instead, Nor­ way ippeared disposed to cast its fortunes with cotuitries in the pro­ posed north Atlantic treaty—The United States, Canada, Britain, France, the Netherlands, Luzem- bourg and Belgium. SLOWDOWN: Banned By Court The''supreme court has upheld a Wisconsin ban on the slowdown as a union tactic in a dispute with m an­ agement. By a 5-4 vote, it sustained a state law which prohibits any concerted efforts by workers to interfere with production’ except by going on strike. The specific action involved was a series of unannounced work stop- pages MIRROR of your • • • MIND Loving Helps Understanding By Lowrence Gould Does loving a person help yon understand him ? Answer: Being “in love” is more apt to have the opposite effect, for it makes you want so desperately to believe the person whom you love is your “ideal" that you’re likely to endow him with whatever qualities that im plies, whether he shows any actual traces- of them or not. But with someone you have loved a long tim e and are sure of, you m ay well see virtues or abilities which no one else has noticed and which m ight never have been de­ veloped but for the encouragement you gave them. Such love makes your ^deal come true. t __ Can epilepsy mask emotional disturbance? Answer: This m ay be true with the m ild form called “petit m al,” in which there is no conclusive seizure but only a temporary blot­ ting out of consciousness and mem­ ory. In Psychosomatic iledicine, *>r. Wayne Barker of Cornell Med­ ical college tells of a young woman patient whose associations under psychoanalysis showed that at tte tim e of such attacks her superficial calmness hid intense emotion. Th« attacks came on in situations where her deeper and unconscious feeling conflicted unbearably with those she felt she should have. Are phohus and nightmares alike? Answer: They have m any points in common in both cases, what the person really is afraid of is soma* thing in his own m ind (generally a forbidden impulse) which he does not dare to adm it except imder the disguise of a comparatively harm* less “symbol.” Also in both cases the danger is made to seem to come from the outside world because this is not as frightening as to accept it as part of himself. A neurotic fear of dogs, or nightmares about tigers m ight equally represent the person’s dread of bis own hostile and aggres­sive feelings.

KEEPING HEALTHY Hearing Aids By Dr. James W. Barton TT IS gratifying to meet friends ^ and acquaintances, form erly hard of hearing, who now m eet you with a norm al, not a questioning, expres­sion on their faces because they are wearing properly-fitted and suitable hearing aids. Oculists and optometrists not only make sure of prescribing the proper lenses for the patient, but they also insist upon fitting the frames so that the patient obtains the angle necessary to give him the exact or proper vision through the lenses. Sim ilarly, the otologist or hearing specialist, after making a complete examination of the patient’s loss of hearing and the pitch necessary, prescribes the hearing aid best suit­ ed to the patient’s needs. And just as the oculist or optometrist is most careful in adjusting the frames of glasses, so the otologist wants to make sure that the apparatus at­ tached to the ear must fit the ear perfectly; if possible, a cast is m ade from .which the plastic hearing at* tachment is manufactured. U the ear piece does not fit property, it can interfere with the dearness .of sound. In cases where the little bones of the m iddle eardnim are damaged and the sound is not transm itted properly to the little hairs or hear* ing nerve endings, then what is called a bone-conduction hearing aid is necessary to transm it the sound. In these cases the earpiece, called an oscillator, is -attached to the mastoid bone, the large bony lum p at the back of the ear. As most hearing aids are made with amplifiers with three or four vacuum tubes, there Is little to choose among them ; but the fitting of the hearing aid is most im portant. The patient should not hesitate to return for adjustments just as he does for adjustment of glasses. HEALTH NOTES Vertigo (dizziness) occasionally is a symptom of high blood pressure' and the prospect for relief is favor­ able through cutting certain nerves coming from the spinal cord. When dizziness occurs, consult your fam ­ ily physician first; he m ay locate the cause. If not, he likely w ill refer you to an ear specialist, as ear dis­turbances are the commonest cause rrf dizziness. One way of reducing weight is toreduce the amount of a ll liquids__water, tea, coffee, m ilk, soft and hard drinks—by one h a lf.” This is because fat tissue holds water with­in it—about three pounds of water to every pound of fat. Thus, while water is "good for everybody,” it is not good for those wl\p are over­weight because they already are w^er-loesed. .CLASSIFIED t f E P A R T M E W T APTOS> TBCCKS & ACCESS, < BUSESWe keep a stock o£ fine Northern used buses for school, church and other transportation.

PHILLIPS TRDMAN AND THE TD6 President Truman, in explaining the probable cost of around five million dollars to repair the White House, declared — “My bathroom sagged so that I had begun to fear it would go through the floor.”_» We can’t see why, the President was alarmed. He would have been the first president ever to have fallen from one floor to another in his bath; it would have made his­tory.* For a century there might have been signs in the White House: "President Harry S.

STAR DUST Robert Taylor Stars in Western By INEZ GERHARD KOCORDING to a poll taken “ among allied exhibitors, there never has been a first class west­ern that has been a box-office fail­ure. Even the cheap quickies make money in some localities. Next on the monesrmaking list come out­ door pictures, in which action is more important than dialogue. Those spectacular musicals are fourth on the list. Indicative of ROBERT TAXLOR what we can expect comes Metro’s announcement that they will make three westerns, the first, now under way, being “Devil’s Doorway,” starring Hobert Taylor, just back from Europe. The other two are “The Outriders” and “Ambush.'” No stars have been announced for them as yet, but no doubt they’ll be big ones. Hedy Lamarr also is headed for a western. Paramount has her slated for “Copper Canyon,” with’ Ray MUland and MacDonald Carey. At the same studio Burt Lancaster gets another of those tough roles that he’d like to abandon. He’ll be a hard-shelled gambler in “No Escape.” But first he plans to make “William TeU” as an independent production, in Italy. Iwenty-fiTe hundred head ot cattle were used for the stam­peding scene in Allied Axtists’ “Stampede.” R o d Cameron, starting, said “When I watched them filming those scenes it seemed there was nothing for miles hut bawling Texas steers.” George Burns had bitter argu­ments with his laundry over the disappearance of some of his best shirts—then found that his daugh­ter Sandra was wearing them to school, with the shirt-tails, outside her skirt, dangling ankle-length. “On This Spot Harry S. Truman Made the First Crash Landing Ever Made in a White House Bathtub, GHder Type."_» Had Harry kept his mouth shut, let the^ building deteriorate and bravely crashed through the floor in his tub, it might have been far from a calamity so far as his for­tunes are concerned. People love the dramatic these days. They crave entertainment and action as never before. There on the gr6und- floor in his second-floor bathtub amid the rubble, his head unbowed, he would have won a new grip on the public. The pictinre might have taken a place beside Washington and the Delaware in water exploits. We can imagine some painter glorifying it with an oil entitled, “Truman Crossing the Dilapidated Beams.” The accident woidd have given the people a new appreciation of what a president has to go through. It would have kindled a mood of warm sympathy and understanding. What man has ever stepped into a bathtub without at least a fleeting fear of an accident? And how many have known what it is to take a tumble in one? Can you fancy their I feelings for a President who l«>d stepped into a tub . . . powl . . . gone down a flight or twol • This is an era of mmor, gos­ sip and suspicion; the story would have spread that the Re­ publicans had undermined the timbers, and this would have in­ creased pity for the President. From coast to coast, across mountains and valleys, over brooks and rivers, from log cabin to mansion the one cry would have gone up: "How’s Harry?” The world would have awaited breathlessly the hourly bulletins from the IW te House: - 10 A.M.—The White House morn­ing statement read: “The Presi­ dent is, doing well, but still suffer­ing from his own amazement.” Noon—The President is resting. His face is not so red by 10 degrees as was after the mishap._•_ 1 P. M.—Mrs. Truman was al­ lowed to visit the President this afternoon. She asked hhif simply, “It seems mighty funny toi me that you and the tub went down two flights, but your bathrobe remained on the hook upstairsl” _•__ 2 P. M.—President Truman got a telegram from Thomas E. Dewey. It read: “I join the bathtub users of America in my deepest gratitude that you piloted the tub to a safe landing and I sincerely hope you will soon be bathing again in the happiness and security which you have a right to expect from our country.”_•__ 3 P. M.—Henry Wallace was asked to comment on the President’s bath­ tub accident and replied: “It was too far away for me to know the exact facts. All I know is that you hear of nothing like that happening in Russia.”_«__ 5 P. M.—The doctors said they would permit the President to be interviewed by radio and television. “I only regret” Mr. Truman said, "that I have but one ceiling to give for my country.” A New Jersey court has ruled that a night watchman sleeping on the premises is entitled to overtime if awake during his sleeping hours. It he sleeps dar­ ing. his waking hours, does the boss get a refund? • • • We just heard of a fellow who, needing rest and quiet, was ordered by his doctor to spend six months in Wan street. ^Cher Cotnev DANCING SHOES Bjr CHARUS DORIAN m W L 'E a vast throng of theatre- »* goers passed through th e exits of the Oipheum, the beautiful blonde attraction left quietly by the stage door on the arm of her most ardent admirer, the owner of the theatre tmd string of others.

In the Holland Tuimel the sing­song ceased and on6 of the gang said to the girl: ^ “This is something new in kid­ naps, sister. We’re aU jolly good fellows, members' of a theatrical troupe (to the general public). But don’t get us wrong. We’d rub you out as quick as m y Broadway mug if you failed for a minute to join the spirit of our little game. Your big boy has just read our demands m a note left withhim.”‘T il—I’D pay you,” chatted the little dancer. “Please — my con­ tract. I must dance every night.” ■PHE CAR sped along for thirty miles and turned into a nar­ row road. License plates were switched and another fifty miles sped by. They stopped at a rail­road village and parked the car on a side street. They changed their toppers for peak caps and entered the railroad station. "Oh, yon’re the troupe from the opery bouse,” grinned Ihe operator. “Thought there Was two girls in the party.” "One of us is a female indper- sonator, bawl haw!” laughed the spokesman. The operator laughed too, and began stamping the tick­ ets, “Train’s not due for thirty min­ utes yet,” he apologized._ “O.K. brother, we’U put on a little show while we’re waiting.” He strode over to Paula. “SmSe, sister, SMILE,” he hissed, and out loud. “Come on, Sally Rand, give the gentleman your best imitation of a fan dance.” Paula was ready to faint but en­tered into the game by dancmg a whirling tap number that had the operator’s eyes popping. Some sing­ing followed and a bottle was passed around.“Now, another dance,” ordered the master of ceremonies. “Just a slow one,” pleaded Paula, “I’m very tired.” "Oh, all right,” yawned the fel­low. She made a long slow stride straight to the operator and whis­ pered “ListenI” Then she per­formed a painfully punctuated dance with more body imdulations than footwork. The bottle passed around again and the operator went to his key, took an order, sent one, and in a few mlnntes the train was in. They boarded it. Sargo was a small city. A taxi was ready waiting for them and whisked them out into the coimtry where they got out in front of a big house. Every shadow exuded a police officer. Eight ot them had pinioned the four “collegians” before the door opened, and two more seized the servant. Paula promptly fainted. Two of­ ficers carried her to safety. .“This house has been under sus­picion for a long time,” said an of­ficer to Paula. “When that opera­ tor’s message mentioned *Sargo’ we posted a squad at the house. Here’s the car now which followed their ta ^ from the depot.”Oh, yes, Paula’s dad had been a station agent and had taught her to tap dance the Morse code.

The compromise apparently was reached during backstage bargain­ ing between leaders of the two Democratic blocs. The ex-speaker relayed his report with great interest,.to other G.O.P. leaders at the Republican round table. This is a table in the house restaurant where Republicans gather for lunch and which serves as a sort of G.O.P. command post. Martin didn’t reveal his sources, but southern congressmen have long been dose to him, and Joe’s inside intelligence on Democratic goings-on has usually been devastat- ingly accurate. Terms of the all-important civil-rights agreement, Martin reported, are as follows: both sides agreed to an anti-lynch bill, anti-poll tax bin, 60-cents- per-honr minimum wage, and modifications of the Taft-Hart- ley law. These are crucial and important compromises on the part of conserv­ ative southerners, but they have served notice tliis is the furthest they win go. They will not, for in­ stance, accept the dynamite-laden fair employment practices bin, which win be quieUy side-tracked in the house. But they wiU support the rest of President Truman’s fair deal. This backstage compromise, how­ever, is nothing more than a quite Yalta agreement among the lead­ ers, Joe Martin pointed out. It can’t possibly be binding on an the rank- and-file Democrats, and many con­gressmen on both sides win vote the dictates of their own con­ sciences. Ham And Eggs— $25 M. Andre Picard, originator of the French gratitude train idea, was seated in a restaurant in Akron, O., eating breakfast. He had been hospitably and graciously en­ tertained by various cities across the coun^, and he suggested that it was time he paid some of the bins iiimself. Picard explained that he had ex­ changed some francs into dollars in New York, and puUed out a hun­dred doUar biU to prove it. Frank Douglas, French-speaking secretary of A. F. Whitney, presi­ dent of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, had been loaned to Picard to help him across the U.S.A. He said: “We don’t like visitors to pay for things in oiu: country. Besides, that $100 bill IooIq like it was cotmterfeit.” Picard, however, insisted; finally was told he conld pay for his breakfast. Subsequently, the waitress, tipped off in ad­ vance, brought Picard a check for ham and eggs—$25. ' M. Picard looked at the check, but did not wince. He did ask how much American workmen made per week, then he took his che ^ and his $100 bin to the cashier.Tlie cashier, also tipped off in advance, held the $100 biU up to the light and said: “I’m sorry but this bin is coimterfeit. m have to can the police.” Freneli Will Remember M. Picard and part of the French gratitude train committee, saUed for France, after one of the most inspiring trips across the U.S.A. ever experienced by any foreigners. They have come to know this coun­ try even better than many Ameri­cans. And they have also come to love it. Here are some of the things they wUl long remember: How the .^erican railroads not only hauled the gratitude train free, but were even thoughtful enough to put French-speaking personnd on most of the trains . . . the 120-piece high-school band at Elkhart, Ind.- musical instrument center of the world . . . the popularity of Gover­nor Paul Dever in Boston . . . tiie termendous parade staged by Mayor Joe Smith in Oakland, Calif. . . . the way Mayor A1 Feeney ot Indi­anapolis matched his clothes with bis complexion . . . the patience of Maryland’s Governor Preston Lane in waiting in the cold for the late arrival of the train in Baltimore. Of German descmt, Heine put on one of the warmest of aU welcomes for the French . . . the conrtesy of Governor Earl Warren in traveling tiie length of California to welcome the gratitude train . . . the dis- conrtesy of Governor Alfred Driscoll of New Jersey in not being willing to get np at 9 a.m. to be on hand. The warmth of Mayor Heck Ross’& welcome on one' of the coldest of Des Moines days . . . Governor Tom Mabry’s broad-brimmed New Mexican hat . . . the fact that two Italo-American mayors—M ik e di Sane of Toledo and Tom D’Alesan- dro of Baltimore—gave the French one of their , tinest welcomes.

New Farm Bath Unit Comes fiirPackaged' Setup May Be Attached To Existing Dwelling An Indiana manufacturing firm has announced the introduction of a novel, factory-built bathroom to be known as Ad-a-Bath. Repre­senting an entirely new approach to home modernization, the bath is constructed in one complete “ pack­age” for attachment to existing dwellings.Built as a self-contained unit, the bath utilizes conventional m aterials and equipments, and includes a ll necessary fixtures and fittings for immediate installation and im medi­ ate use. It is shipped fully equip­ ped for addition to a farm , lake cottage or suburban home. Since it is added to the exterior, there is no sacrifice of space or change of interior arrangement of the house to which it is attached. The setup is complete In every respect with tub, lavatory stool and tank, electric heater and built- in medicine and linen cabinets. It is of frame construction with ply­wood interior. Walls and floors are heavily insulated and the floor is linoleum covered. The interior, according to the manufacturer, has been designed for maxim um comfort, utility and attractiveness. Such items as towel bar, soap dish, tub grab bar, tooth brush and tumbler holder are included. Since the unit qualifies for FEtA. financing, a honie owner is requir­ed only to make a 10 per cent down payment, paying the balance in con­ venient m o n t h ly installments through his local bank. Fewer Wormy Apples Faithful adherents of the “ apple a day” m axim , if they can think back to war experience, wiU realize no'.vdays they are not nearly so likely as they used to be to find a v/orm, or half a worm, in their apple. Also, says the U., S. depart­ ment of agriculture, the “ spray residue” problem is not nearly so troublesome as it was.The apple worm—or coddling moth—problem appears to be on its way out as a m ajor concern in apple growing. DDT has proved an effective spray. In fact, in some isolated orchards that do not draw moths from luisprayed or poorly sprayed trees nearby, a good early spray program with DDT may so reduce coddling moths that there is no need to spray against a second brood.But DDT has not proved a fu ll solution to the apple insect prob­lems. It does not make a (dean sweep of all the pests. Thus DDT sprays perm it a biuldup of some pests that it does not control— the apple mites, for instance. The problem shifts, but a problem re­m ains. The mites do not cause wormy apples, but the apples are sm aller and of a poorer color. However, the new inw cticide parathion is making an impressive showing against nearly a ll the apple pests. Federal entomologists say that it can not yet be recom­ mended for general use, that more control is needed. Livestock Sanitation Gets Credit for Avian TB Curb Professor F . E . Mussehl of the University of Nebraska poultry husbandry department credits the work of the XJ. S. livestock sanita­ tion association with doing much to reduce losses , from avian tu­ berculosis. The livestock sanitation group comes into the picture, he explains, because - avian tuberculosis was quite often found responsible for condemnation of hogs.

ASPARAGUS,, that aristocratlfl vegetable, which comes into season early in Spring is sometimes called sparrow - grass. But whatever you caU it, this hand­ some green-tipped vegetable is one of the true appetite treats of the sea­ son. The vegetable can be changed from supplemen­ tary to a m ain dish if you serve it on toast with a cheese sauce be­ cause cheese is a high grade pro­tein food. The cheese sauce is also an excellent idea to remember if you want to add interest to leftover vegetables. Asparagus on Toast with Cheese Sauce Z tablespoons batter 4 tablespoons flonr 2 .cups m ilk Vi pound American cheese shredded Salt, pepper Hot, cooked asparagus tips Toast points Make cream sauce with the but­ ter, flour and m ilk. When thick and smooth, add the shredded cheese and stir until it is melted. Season to taste. Place eachiserving of as­ paragus on 2 toast points and cover w ith a generous amount of hot cheese sauce. If you want to make a spring vegetable platter that looks pretty as well as one which interests winter-jaded appetites, this next recipe is just the thing: •Spring Vegetable Platter (Serves 6) 1 pound green beans 4 medium carrots, cut In strips 1 box frozen asparagus 1 hard-cooked egg, chopped Vi cup hutter 2 tablespoons lemon juice Cook green beans in boiling, salted water for 30 minutes. Cook carrots in boiling, salted water for 15 minutes. Cook spinach without water 5 - 8 minutes. Arrange spin­ ach in center of platter and garnish w ith egg. Arrange drained green beans and carrots in spoke fashion around the spinach. Pour over them a sauce of the butter melted and mixed with lemon juice. Garnish the platter w ith the following: Roll slices of luncheon m eat spread with salad dressing around tiny sweet pickles. Fasten with toothpicks. Like creamed cauliflower? Stick Vi cup of salted almond meats in the white sauce after pouring it over the vegetable for appetite appeal. Young cabbage cooked in m ilk rather than water is delicious to taste. Melted butter mixed with lemon juice and chopped parsley makes an excellent sauce for whole cooked carrots. Cup . of com added to 3 cups of cabbage and seasoned with crisp, crumbled bacon and a bit of sugar is delicious. SCRIPTUBE: Mark 7:aM7j liuke 7:1-10.DEVOTIONAL R B A D IN G : ActJ 10:34^ The Race Question Lesson for M arch 27, 1949. JESUS D ID NOT know there was a race question. That is to say, there was no question for him , though he well knew that his neigh­ bors found the race problem a hot one.A ll the germs of any race problem, even of race riots, were there in Palestine as in all of our world to­ day. First there was the feeling of racial superiority. Few, if any, peoples think of Foreman themselves as an in­ ferior race. Nobody would mind being kicked around if he thought he deserved nothing better. The Jews, to which race Jesus belonged, were no exception to the rule. They felt themselves the superior of any race on earth. Two Sides of the Question TN JESUS’ tim e the Jew of Pales- tine was in the m iddle. The Romans, having conquered the land, were top-dog in Palestine. With the Romans, the Jews saw the un­der-side of the race question. But there were other races, much less pure than the Jews, races called “Canaanite” for want of a better name. These people were kicked aroimd by the Jews, just as the Jews in turn were kicked aroiuid by the Romans. Looking at the Cana- anites, the Jews saw the race ques- tion from the top side. In Palestine the wounds of race quarrels were made worse by the vinegar of religious dif­ferences. In those days it was taken for granted: Different race, different religion. Jesus’ neighbors and relatives in Nazareth, like most Jews, supposed that God would favor only the “chosen people,” namely them­ selves. So the Jew’s resentment to­ ward the Romans above him and his contempt of the Canaanites be­neath him were made more bitter by his conviction that they would all end in hell except his own race, ♦ * • ■ W liat Jesus D id About It >PHE TWO STORIES in our lesson * (see the Scripture references), show the astonishingly simple way in which Jesus walked straight ^through those walls as if they did not exist. He passed no resolutions, denounced nobody; he sim ply treated aU races alike. He helped the Rom an arm y officer and the Canaanite woman precisely as if they had been Jews. (By the way, his remarks to that woman should not be misimderstood as rude. She did not take them that way. He spoke to her, we m ay well believe, w ith a smile, and she took him with equal good humor.) Jesus appre- ,dated faith wherever he found it. He was the last person to fancy that a ll human beings are alike. But he was the first to give all an equal chance. He^ took people as human beings, not as “Romans” or “ Cana­ anites.” He neither cringed to the Romans nor bullied the Canaanites. He looked at a ll men and women with level eyes, seeing not their skins nor their clothes, but their hearts. W hat We Can Do fS U R NORTH AM ERICA is also ^ criss-crossed by walls of preju­ dice — racial, political and religious. In Canada (for example) there is the friction between Canadians of French and those of English or Scotch descent; in the United States (not by any means confined to the South) between Negroes and white people, or between Japanese and white people; between the “ old stock” and recent im m igrants; and so on. Those walls look pretty solid; but a Christian w ill find that it he follows Jesus’ example he can walk right through them. Last winter a national interdenominational organi­ zation challenged its 28 m illion members and through them the Christian world, w ith one of the most sweeping declarations of human rights ever drafted by an American church body. H itting at every type of dis- trim ination—r a c i a 1, political, social, economic, religions—the group has challenged the Church to work for the creation of a non­ segregated society “ as proof of their sincerity.” Yet the real breakdown'of human prejudices, hatreds and contempts, with the injustices growing out ol these, dces' not come at one stroke by resolutions. It comes only by degrees, as C3irist-inspired individu­ als make their own bright doorways. (Copyright 1m; international Council of Religious Education on behalf of 4d Protestant denominations.

Look at the Label A lot of persons, who like to think •that they think, are bandying about |a couple of terms that mean less :than a whole lot to a whole lot of jpeople. I refer to the terms: “lib­eral” and “ reactionary.” May I •put in my two cents worth in hopes that you may know these modern labels better?What I mean is that arm chair commentators and soapbox spell­ binders throw these terms at you, without any apology. Sure, you can get their meaning, whether they are for it or against it, by the way their lips are curled and their epithets hurled. But that’s not enough. We need to know what the labels mean. A m an can’t think straight unless he can know his ideas as he picks them up. The Real Test Jesus said of false teachers; “By their fruits ye shall know them .” •That is still the best way to size up a man and his idea. It is even possible to put that test to la b ^ . That way, a m an cannot call him­ self one thing and be another.The word liberalism comes from the same basic word that gave tis the term liberty. The ancestors of this label, t^le^efore, are of the best blood. The term has the finest pos­ sible background, for it im plies a ll sorts ol freedoms and puts strong stress upon human liberty. Then how is it that those who claim lib­ eralism as their doctrine are found waving the banner for the very worst enemies of a ll liberty?State Supreme We Americans declare that we hold sacred the right to life, Ub- erty, and the pursuit of happiness. We have said that m an is to be as free as possible, while also being responsible. The nation’s founding lathers clearly insisted that govern­m ent must be set 19 to serve man, and not m an to serve the govern­ ment.But here and mrw we have the sorry mess o l the liberals today wanting to change a ll this. They propose to improve this arrange­ ment by "plaim ing” us into «ther. a socialist or a communist or a fascist society in which a ll signs of human freedoms must certainly vanish. These planners and plot­ ters would have the society (gov­ernment or state) to l»e supreme in all things. Even God they would replace by the State. A New Serfdom What need would we then have to guarantee personal rights and freedoms, if the .state is to assume all the responsibility for every­ body? No need, at all, if the State is supreme. These liberals (1 am now applying the label test to their works) care nothing for the Con­stitution. They are aU totalitarians at heart. Their aim is political pow­ er to suppress the personal liberty that belongs to the individual. Here we have the strange spectacle of dangerous “liberals.” What eke is the explanation, when those who love to call themselves liberals denounce as “reactionary” anybody who distrusts the police state and would halt the trend to totalitarianism ? A “reactionary,” strictly speaking, is one who ob­ jects to progress and desires to turn back the clock.

Photo-sensitization is the accurate veterinary term, and the disease is also known as solar eczema and trifoliosis.The condition aStects all types of livestock with white sldn or wliite- patches of skin. It is seen in horses with white-stockinged feet, in iine- >• xked Hereford cattle, in Holstein cows, in white and white-dotted pigs, and in sheep. A frequent com­plication in sheep is “big head,” where the ears become thick and swollen as a result of sun sickne^. In some animals the symptoms may resemble a contagious disease. It is I tiisreioie unporlant to gel a vet- I erinarian's opinion if any of these signs show'up. The only icnown preventive steps are to provide shade, and to prevent grazing on pastures' known to cause troubl" "’ its *'• ’ sen- ZSote peeling hide. sitize animals to sunshine are certain clovers, S t John’s wort, wild buck­wheat tmd leches^illa.

Yet. by correct sanitation and other precautions, swine producers can do a lot to reduce the hea/y losses caused by dysentery. This contagious swine ailment is thoug-lit to be due to a germ much like that causi.ig human cholera, and is now recognized as a specific dis- siase. Infection spreads fast, killing as many as 60 per cent of affected ' swine in a stricken herd. Hogs m&y die suddenly, after two ot three days' illness, or they maj ihiger on for two weeks or longer.

One type of control plan may be effective on one farm, while some other type may be required on an­other farm. The veterinarian’s advice should be obtained on the best pro­gram. and in setting an adequate scheme of sanitation.

C. R4 Tbe masses of htimaiiity are on the wrong road In life. It is C">m- mon sense to realize that wrong road cannot end at the rlgbt place. However, « seems that peo. nle have an idea that they can t'av. el on the wrong road morally and spirituallv a n d eventually an>t right— even end in heaven. This ie a delusion of the enemy of all afl mankind He so deceives nntil m«nv of hit followers take error for truth or take for granted that wrong will change to right in their lives even without turning away from it and turning unto God. We are made to wonder why it is thnt men are so easily deceived abnnt some things, and espedally when t comes to motality and spiritnalitv when they cannot be deceived a- bout lots of otber things. Any man with commou sense knows that he cannot spend twr dollars for one and luake a saccess in business. He knows that b has to take in more than he pnt.< out if his business prospers and hic bank account increases. He knows that he cannot fill his system with liquor, dope, nicotine, a n j various unwholesome and destrauctivc pot. sons, or bad food, and have good health. He may do this, but he positively knows he is destroying bis health and shortening his life. He knows he wants to go to a cer. tain place he can’t take the wrong road and get there. Reason and common sense reveals this to him, therefore he takes tbe right road and makes sure that be pursues ii in order to reach tbe place he de. sires to arrived at. However, this 7ery class of pe< « ole, or many of them at least. takV the wrong road morally and spir'. tually, and think they will comi out all right. Oh, how easy to l^t the enet..y of the soul I He mak^s people believe they can have a high morality and read a low class - 1 books and a poar classof literatme, that they can run with the worldly, pleasure seeking, hell going cro«d ind get to heaven Tbis is c.spe liolly true of multitudes of church members and prefes.sed Christians.

RESTORES HAIR A m an dropped iiis wig in the street and a boy picked it up and returned it to iiim . “ Thanks, my boy," said the owner of tlie Sying wig. “Yon are the first genuine hair restorer I have ever seen!” Steps ro^ Preventing Mildew Leather shoes often mildew in hu­mid weather. Here are some simple ways to protect them afrainst this damage. Keep shoes on high shelves in the clothes closet. High shelves are drier and therefore safer against •niWew than the floor or low shoe racks. Because damp air is heavy, it tends to settle alon.er the floor and encourage mildew. Heat from an elec­ tric light bulb kept burning in the closet often will keep the air dry enough to prevent mildew on clothes and shoes. Frequent airing with an electric fan also helps. To absorb moisture from the air and thus help beep the contents of a closed closet dry, a Jar of calciiun chloride is an old standby. Its disadvantage is that as it absorbs moisttte. It becomes li­ quid and must be drained and new solid chloride added. River Steamlraats Mere Memory Most of the famous old Mississippi river l>oats have tieen scrapped, but to oldtimers their memories linger on. Bach boat was a personality to the re n who followed the river or iust loafed along its shore. Probably the most distinguishin.ar thing about each craft was its whistle. In the golden years of steamboating, no own­er would think of sending a new pack­ et to ply the Ohio or the Big Muddy without a beautifully toned blaster. Now, like the steamboats they once ’H'aced, the whistles and bells are rone from the scene, althoii^h many still are close to the river. They can be heard at cotton gi?s, lumber mills in d steam powered plants, or calling hands to work on the bier pIan^a.l:!ons. Facts About Rotenone Rotenone is one of the home gar­ dener’s helpers ta producing more food with less effort, but the insecti­cide is sold in many different forms. To be effecUve in killing insects, the material should contahi at least three- fourths of 1 per cent to be mixed with water for a spray. Wire Window, Door Screens, Need Care for Best Results Rain spattering off dusty window screens can cause needless soiling of draperies, curtains, upholstery fabrics and even rugs. To prevent such tm- sightly streaking, clean wire window and door screens regularly with the dusting attachment of the vacuum cleaner or with a soft brush. If the cleaning discloses small breaks in the mesh, repair them with ready-made screen patches. Larger holes can be patched temporarily with pieces of metal screening one-half inch larger than the opening. Remove cross-wires around the patch to form a fringe and bend the fringe dow so its wires sli^ throu.irh the screen around the ho! 3. Than pinch the fringe tightly e^ainst the screen. Screening Rives longer, more effi­ cient service when It Is painted regu- ■: larly. Wipe the scrcjninp with bsn- *ine, then apply v,?mish thinntd with turpentine and llnssed oil. This mix­ture keeps the mc?h openings from eloggliig and insures good light and air circulation. 1 S lA P ' Son Outsm arts Dad T ^ A L T E R was the proud ’^“0/ a black mongrel.owner whichwas a nuisance to the rest of the hoMsehold.

Lispsdeza Piantinss Urged T« Feed Quail in Winter Shrubby lespedeza plantings on land that m ight otherwise produce little or nothing can give a great boost to quail hunting for sport— and for game that can be kept long as frozen food. The soil conserva­ tion service recommends these shrubby lespedezas strongly for soil conservation and to feed quail. They are legumes, and after the first year supply their own nitro­ gen on infertile soils. For the South, the SCS particularly recom­ mends lespedeza bicolor; farther north other hardier lespedezas w ill do better. Lespedeza seed is about all that quail need to carry them through the season of short feed in the win­ ter. Most other birds do not relish the seed and leave most of it for the quail. The SCS suggests plant­ ing it in fence rows on the land that is not plowed, in thin spots and clearings in woodland, or at the edges of woodlots. It w ill yield far more quail feed than the weeds it w ill displace. A strip with an area of an eighth of an acre w ill supply a covey of quail and hold them through the winter. Eight strips of this size are better than a patch ot an acre. As a hedge along a cultivated field the bicolor lespe­ deza has a season of beautiful bloom m stmimer, and bees find it a good sotu'ce ot honey. A fence row around a pasture w ill not feed quail because horses and cattle like it and w ill browse on it. Dogs Don’t VoteOne day when he was a senator, former Secretary of State Jam esF . Byrnes was listening to a col­league who was delivering a long winded address on the plight of tbe nation’s dogs. Dog food, wailed the colleague, was being sold for hu­ m an consumption, creating a food shortage for the canine population. When the senator , had conbluded his eloquent address, a friend asked Byrnes: “W hat did you think of his speech?” “Not bad,” replied Byrnes. “W hat a pity that dogs don’t vote.” Beflnisbing Stained Oak How to Avert Deadly Smos Revealed at Chemist Meet Smogs like that in which 19 per­ sons died in Donora, P a., sometime ago, can be a v e rt^ by a simple electrical device which filters fac­ tory fumes, Professor Frank T. Gucker Jr., of the University of Indiana, declared at a meeting of the American Chemical society. Explaining that the smog found so frequently in industrial areas re­ sults when water vapor condenses upon particles of dust and smoke in the air. Professor G utter as­ serted. “No fog or rain at all m ight form in an atmosphere which was com­ pletely free of dust.” There are several methods of elim inating sm all particles from the air, the most obvious of which is passing fumes through xi fine filter, according to Professor Gucker. n ils would not be a practical way of removing commercial dusts, such as those put out by smelters and cement works, which may be a considerable economic waste and health hazard. These aerosols may be removed rapidly and completely by means of a high voltage electric discharge, which charges the individual par­ ticles and draws them over to one of the electrodes where they are deposited. Such an arrangement, known as the Cottrell precipitator, w ill deposit tons of m aterial in the course of a day. When It is desired to refinish stain­ed oak, any old varnish should be taken off with paint and varnish re­ mover. Then, all traces of the remov­ers shoidd be eliminated by a thor-. ough wiping with benzine or turpen­ tine. Be careful to avoid smoking and see that there is no open flame in the room while doin.cr the job. Then use a prepared wood bleach, which Is ob­ tainable from paint dealers. V/hen blcached to the desired tint and thor­oughly dry, the surface then can be filch ed with clear varnish, lacquer, shellac or wax, or wax can be applied over the clear finish. 1 Fish of Many Names The Garden of Song ' At the northernmost tip of the n<»tiiemmost peninsula of Celebes island there lies a region of fertile valleys, bordered by coconut groves and surrounded by active volcanoes. It is the M inahasa, the "Land that has become one,” where eight origi­ nal tribes, with as many individual languages, have in the course of the centuries become tmited, and where disruption and conflict are virtually. unknown. Since the arrival of the' Portuguese in the 16th century, tbe Minahasans have adopted the Christian religion, which is now ad­hered to by 90 per cent of the pop­ulation. Every town, every n ira l area has its own church, usually sm all but charming and tended with great care by its members. Since 1934, the Minahasa has been granted an independent church with a synod of its own. Short History of Portugal Black crapple is really a scrappy game fish. Fly fishermen use light equipment and get the most out of its fighting qualities. However, fisher­ men long since have discovered that minnows are the best baiv for big crappies. The black crapple has more names than any other common fish­es many as 5 i have-been counted Among them are calico bream, white bass, rock £sh, silver perch, speckled bass, spotted trout, bitterhead, Lake Erie bass and papermouth. Diminutive Portugal, through the efforts of Prince Henry, the Navi­gator, tishered in the age of the mari­ time discoveries. Her early sixteenth centtiry monarch entitled himiself, for . very good reasons. Lord of the Navi­ gation, Conquest and Commerce of Ethiopia, Arabia, Persia and India. U ntil 1822, Brazil was her colony. For many centuries Portugal has played a prominent role in European poUUcs. As far back as pre-Christian times the Lusitanian Vlratus acquir­ed fame as leader in the resistence movement against the might of Rome. Crusaders en route to the Holy Land aided the still struirgUng Portuguese in eliminatbig the Moorish yoke.

U ntil a few years later, that was the greatest disaster I had en­ countered. 1 was a child then and had the security of a home and all that means but the money I lost could have been used to good advantage by my parents. You may not feel the loss of your Social Security benefits in the childish way I felt my loss, but the fact remains that, with most of us, such a loss would hurt. I want to help you avoid any loss of Social Security pay­ ments. It is possible for you to lose these payments and quite a - num ­ ber of people in your couniy have lost them already. It happens all too often that a wage earner him ­ self, who is over 65, may be laid off but fails to come into our of> fice or write us until many months have passed. Sometimes he chan­ ges from a job that is covered by Social Security to 'one that is not. In either event he may lose bene­ fits if he waits more than three months before filing a claim. He may not only suffer a loss himself but his wife, if she is 65, or his young children, will also lose money by the del.y. Then, there are cases where a ged widows, young widows with children, and orphaned children lose these benefite because aclaim is not filed promptly or within a reasonable rime after the husb­ and’s or fathei’s death. How can these losses be avoid­ ed? First, if you are a worker, age 65 or over, let us know at once if yoti are laid off. Second, ’ if you are the widow of a wage earner, inquire as promptly as pos­ sible about your rights. Third, a claim must be filed before any payment can be made. Fourth, the Social Security Act permits back payments for a 3 months period only, so you can readily see that if you delay filing your claim longer than 3 months you stand to lose one or more nonth- iy benefits. If it is not convenient for you to call at our office, write us or have some member of your fam- Uy do it for you. Then we can protect you from any loss.

Truman’s loyal friends had suggested to him, shortly before the Jackson-Jeffer- Bon dinner, that he go on a toiar.of the nation in order to keep con­ tacts with the people, not to rap congress. They were frankly afraid that Truman, sitting in the ratified at­mosphere of Washington and sur­ rounded by too many yes-men, was losing his perspective. So it was suggested that instead of going to Key West for a vacation, the Pres­ ident go on a trip through the west perhaps to visit some water-power project or the snowbound areas. M r. Truman, however, declined lo give up Ws Key West outing, though he had spent two weeks there shortly before Christmas. And at the Jackson-Jefferson din­ ner, he twisted the original idea around so that his proposed trip becomes a campaign tour against congress—despite the fact that the present congress is overwhelming, ly Democratic. Security for Servants President Truman’s program to extend federal old-age insurance to an additional 20 m illion persons wUl not slide through the house ways and means committee as easily as did the biU to extend re­ciprocal-trade agreements. Although chairm an “Muley Bob” Doughton of North Carolina agreed to introduce the administration bills on social security, he explic­ itly did so only “ as the basis for consideration and discussion.” When current hearings have been completed, the committee w ill then sit down in executive session to write its own bill, which w ill probably bear little resemblance to the Truman proposals. For example, the President in­cludes 5 m illion farm workers, 3.5 m illion hired hands, and 2.5 m il­ lion cooks, maids and other house­ hold servants in the 20 m illion to­tal to be covered. Yet members of congress from rural areas, among them Speaker Sam Rayburn, are convinced that farmers are op­ posed to social security And the prospects of a rebellion from an army of irate housewives, com­ pelled to pay and collect employ­ ment taxes on their hired help, makes even the congressmen from the cities shudder a bit. Old Age Benefits On the other hand, increasing social security benefits w ill defin­ itely be approved' However, con­ gress, wiU throw out the benefit pay­ments for both sickness of short duration (up to 26 weeks) and for extended disability. Too many peo­ple, the congressmen think, would get sick on purpose. In addition, ald-age retirement for women w ill probably be re­duced from 65 to 60 and a benefic­ iary wiU be, allowed to earn up to S50 (now S15) per month without losing the right to his government pension check. Bureaucrats Dug Snow The army did a great job in feed­ ing snowbound civilians and cattle during western storms, but other civilian agencies did equal pioneer­ing jobs with no credit at all—the interior department’s bureau of land management and the agricul< ture department’s forest service. Inside fact is that fbe land bureau proceeded with rescue work at a time when the army at first refused to budge. What happened was that on Jan­ uary 12, Paul L. Fickenger, re­gional director of the Indian ser­ vice at Billings, Mont., telephoned M aj. Gen. Lewis A. Pick, arm y engineer at Omaha on January 12 asking the army for assistance. General Pick, one of the highest officers in the engineers corps and already nominated as chief of en­ gineers, refused to budge. He said he was most sjrmpath- etic with any plan to help snow­bound people and cattle, but he had no authority to act. Also he said he had no funds allocated for this purpose. Itleanwhilei «he bureau of land management also lacked funds or authority. Without waiting for word Jrom Wash­ ington, however, its officials proceeded to spend money any­way. Figuring that Washing­ ton would reimburse fliem later, they worked round the clock with no figuring in of overtime. Taking a chance that Washing­ ton later would pay the bin they contracted for snow-removal equip­ ment, etc., which were not auttor- ized. Later, the money came tlirough. But it was the so-called civilian bureaucrats who had the courage to act when the army hesi­ tated. -WeCKLY News ANALYSIS- Rel Persoanei Siiaiteap Stirs World As Nations Ponder Meaning of Act; Time Rnnning Out on Rent Controls EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these coInmDs, they are those of iVestem Newspaper Union’s news a n a ^ts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) MOLOTOV PROMOTED? Stalin's Man World Speculates on Premier Stalin's Plans Out of the welter of world speculation on the significance of Russia’s nam ing Andrei Y . Vyshinski as foreign minister—replacing Vyacheslav M. Molotov—the British appeared most confident of their interpretation.Senior British diplomats had no hesitancy in declaring that Molotov is being groomed to step into Stalin’s shoes whenever the Red dictatoi dies or retires from the scene. ------------------------------ INFORMATION from London was to the effect that the opinion appar­ ently is based on reports which British Ambassador Sir Maurice Peterson had sent from Moscow.They said Peterson warned against expecting any change in Russian foreign policy as a result of Molo­tov’s release as foreign m inister. Andrei Gromyko, th e “walking m an” of the United Nations setup— so called because of the many times he has walked out of U.N. sessions— became Vyshinski’s assistant. A ll these diplomats agreed that Stalin would rem ain the No. 1 m an in Russia even if he should quit the post of prim e m inister. His supreme position, they speculated, would be safeguarded by his personal prestige and his post as Communist party secretary general and politburo member. THEY CONCEDED, however, that Stalin, 69 and ailing, m ay wish to be free of administrative chores.Informants made it clear that Ambassador Peterson himself did not make an outright' prediction that Stalin contemplates retiring from the prim e m inister’s job. They said the sense of his reports mere­ ly led British diplomats to thinlc that is a possibility.. The interesting thing, however, was the wild and widespread specu­ lation set off in the world by a change of Russian personnel at high policy level. This reaction served to emphasize world jittermess in the “cold war” with the Soviets. RENT CONTROL: Tik-Tok, Tik-Tok W ith the continuing tie-up of busi­ness in the senate because of a fili­ buster on a rules procedure, con­ gress had been racing against the clock in the matter of rent controls. RENT CURBS were due to expire March 31. Congressmen generally were agreed that imless they were extended by that date, nothing more could be done this session to save or renew such controls. Meanwhile, Republican sentiment in the house was that rent controls should be taken out of federal hands and turned over to the respective states. A mass meeting of GOP members of the house overwhelm­ingly supported the idea of ending federal rent control. It was reported that Repubicans favored only a 90-day extension of curbs and many wanted a ll controls to end with the fixed expiration date. They also took the position that if any controls were continued, the house first should adopt an amendment by Democratic mem­ ber Paul Brown of Georgia pro­viding that landlords, as far as practicable, should be “ given a reasonable return on the fair value of their property under rent con­trols.” MANY CAPITOL observers ex­pressed a conviction that the ap­ parent trend toward relaxation of rent curbs was stemming from the effective lobbying of rental prop­ erty owners and their organized groups. But whatever was to be done to protect the public from gouging on the part of some landlords would have to be done fast. Time was swiftly nm ning out. MEXICO: Oil for U. C Mexico had relented, the ani­mosity of the old expropriation days was over, and American interests were to set up again in the oil business “south of the border.” Antonio Bermudez, director of Petroleos Mexicanos, annoimced that a drilling contract had been signed with a group of California oil men formed by Edwin W. Pauley and two American oil companies.Senor Bermudez said the U. S. group’s chief job would be drilling of wells in Tabasco and Varacruz states. Under terms of the agreement, the U. S. group wiU not be paid for dry wells. The Mexican organization would set aside the proceeds of the sale of 50 per cent of the production ob­ tained from wells drilled by the mentioned companies to pay off their expenses in drilling produc­ tive wells. C O W S THAT, FELLOWS? This is a recent portrait of An­ dre! Y . Vyshinsky, . who has been elevated to the position of Russian foreign m inister. CHURCHMEN: 50 More Seized More churciimen in countries be­hind the “iron curtain” were com­ ing to know what it means to suffer for the Cross. Bulgarian security police had seized approximately 50 more Pro­ testant clergymen. THE LATEST ROUNDUP was dis­closed as 15 other Protestants were sentenced on charges ranging from treason and spying for the United States and Britain to black market money transactions. A ll 15 had pleaded guilty.By now the pattern of church con­ flict in Soviet-dominated countries was becoming clear. The Russians would not tolerate a setup where the church m ight act independently of the state. It mattered little whether the faith being prosecuted was Protes­ tant or Catholic—the aim was the same, subjugate it and its adher­ ents to the w ill of the state. THE K REM LIN could not risk men having other gods than Stalin, could not risk continuance or spread of a thesis built upon the dignity of the individual and his oneness with his Creator. The most terrible thing was that there was nothing anyone could do. Christian nations could not make war on the Soviets for reli­ gious persecution, however exten­ sive such persecution m ight grow. For the moment, men of good w ill could only pray for divine aid, hoping that retribution would fi­ nally overtake the agency which was subjecting Cliristian men to torture and imprisonment. RICH MEN: One "Fed up" " I found something was wrong with the wealthy class and I think a whole lot of them would be better off if they had to work.” JOSEPH E . U IH LEIN , 73, a senior member of one of the na­ tion’s wealthiest brewery fam ilies was fed up. Delivering himself of the above statement, he went on to say that he was resigning imme­ diately as a director of the First Wisconsin National Bank so no one connected with the institution would be embarrased by his actions. Uihlein’s consideration of his co­directors was understandable. For the former vice-president of the vast'Schlitz brewing company was planning to devote his full tim e to the unionization of “white collar” workers in the United States.“I believe five to six m illion can better their' lot by joining white- collar unions,” Uihlein declared. “I am not in it for any honor for myself, but only through a desire to help the working classes.” CONTINUING, he explained that “I have been thinking about this for about 15 years.”Joseph and his brother Erwin, now president of Schlitz, have been at odds recently over Joseph’s sug­ gestion that the brewery establish a million-dollar annual welfare fund for its employes 1^ contributing 25 cents for each barrel of beer sold. Yukon Lions Would Re-Ensilo "Grady" The Yukon, Oklahoma Lions club was strictly on it’s toes—mem­ bers organized a “committee to Put The Cow Back in The Silo.” The cow, of course, was “Grady,” who had captured national atten­ tion and country-wide press cover­age when she leaped into a silo and there resulted great puzzle­ m ent as to how she was to be freed ‘Grady,” for whom owner B ill Mach paid $1,000, had jumped through a silo door 17 by 25% inches. When the AP broke the story, the nation was agog. However, farm editor Ralph Partridge, of the Denver Post, came up with the answer. “Grady” was given a sedative, well-greased and then pushed and pulled through the door by which she had entered. WITCHCRAFT: "Spell" Broken In the remote fastenesses of the Pennsylvania mountains strange fears and legends aboimd. Among the mountain people such things as “hexes” and “speUs” and witchcraft are real and fearsome things. And out of these regions has drifted a strange tale of eerie graveside rituals in which a uni­ form was stripped from the ex­humed body of a soldier to “break a spell” cast over his widow. PVT. REUBEN ROCK was a woodsman in Greenfield township. A veteran of the north African campaign, he returned in 1946 to his home in the Allegheny mouu' tains and m arried Rosella Dively, then 19. The rigors of arm y life had created in Pvt. Rock a tubercular condition that steadily sapped the veteran’s strength. RoseUa oared for her husband night and day in their tinfinished home, ^ e denied herself proper rest and nourish­ ment while carrying on her nursing duties. But the veteran died. Before he died he gave his wife his army uniform. But Rosella requested that her husband be buried in it. That was done, then strange things began to happen. The young widow became a virtual invalid, refusing to eat or sleep, and began to waste away. Mrs. ARTHUR D IV ELY, Ros- ella’s mother, was convinced Pvt. Rock had practiced witchcraft. Conceding he was “ saved in the end,” she told of weurd “books and things” he kept in the house. “Rosella was crazy to be with him ,” she said, “a e would go to him at any tim e. That’s probably how he did it—by charming her picture that he always carried with him .” The Dively fam ily finally con­cluded the uniform was the an­ swer. They obtained permission to exhume the body. The grave was opened, the uniform stripped from l^vt. Rock’s body and cast into a fire. And there are m yriad folks in the section who are convinced that this action “broke the spell,” enabled Rosella to regain her health. BABY SITTERS: Big Business The city of Milwaukee has found that baby-sitting has become big business. Admitting there were no actual statistics available, M il­waukee officials nevertheless con­ tended that a safe guess would be that baby-sitters outnumber work­ ers in any other field.BABY-SITTING Uterally has be­ come “big business,” with full-time agencies providing sitters on a daily, or part-time basis. However, the m ajority of the sitters are still teen-agers—the girl next door who wants to make some extra spending money, or an older sister or brother who m ay become a baby-sitter un­ der protest. The professional baby-tenders from “Part-Time Parents” in M il­ waukee are prim arily middle-aged widows, according to the agency founder. Miss Dorothy Cam pbell The most im portant part of Miss Campbell’s service is fitting the right sitter to the right fam ily.H ER EM PLOYES are carefully screened before they are hired by the agency. They must like children, have an adequate knowledge of child care, including first aid training, and they must have a suitable background enabling them to serve as part-time parents. Women m ay be hired to take children to the theatre, to a party or out to dinner. Many fam ilies hire a sitter for one, two or three days every week, and the part-time par­ent takes over for the day. It all soimds like a good deal. Doubtless there are many com* munities in which a “Part-Time Parents” organization would be most welcome. Was She Next? The name of Mrs. Baby Davis of High Point, N.C., appeared on a list carried by Eaymond Fer­ nandez, the confessed “Lonely Hearts” murderer, when he was arrested at Grand Rapids, Michi­ gan. OLD FUDS: Time to Go President Truman said it: " It’s time for us old “fuds” to begin to go, and let the next generation come into its own.” He added: “That is true of government also.” The President. addressed his re­marks to about 125 Legionnaires in Wasiiington for a veteran’s reha­ bilitation conference. He said he was pleased at not seeing so many bald pates and gray heads” as usual. Improvement of Land Cuts Production Cost Margin Between Return,Expenses Is Narrowing Higher production costs now biting deeper into farm profits emphasize the need for farmers to get their land in shape to produce more bushels at lower unit costs per acre, ■ the Middle West Soil Improvement Committee points out.The m argin between what a farm er gets for his crops and what it costs him to produce them is narrowing steadily. Commodities used in farm production have more than doubled in price since 1939. Prices of grain and field crops have declined steadily since early 1948.' The committee declared that “ greater crop producing efficiency is the answer to lower farm prices and higher ‘ production costs.”Crop production can be increased by “put back” soil management methods and “holding” operations. “Put back” methods include re­building the soil’s organic m atter supply by growing deep-rooted legumes in rotation. They include replacing phosphate and potash drained off by constant row crop­ping. They also include putting a ll barnyard manure back on the soU and plowing under corn stalks, straw and other left-overs. “Holding” operations can include contoiuring, grass waterways and terracing where necessary. Wire Recorder Check When a pure-bred white leghorn climbs into a nest on the Heisdorf and Nelson breeding farm a t Kirk­ land, W ash., it is, in its own way, m aking poultry history.Unknown to the approximately 10,000 fowls on the farm , the most m odem wire recorders candidly keep track of their every deed. As far as the four partners in the business know, it is the first tim e so many chickens have becomc sub­ jects of a wire recorder. Use of the recorder has resulted in huge savings of tim e and money, and records have never been so Bert Nelson, partner in Kirk* land, Washington’s famous Heis* dorf and Nelson chicken breeding farm , reads the number on the leg band on a chioken and speaks it into the microphone of a wire recorder. accurate, according to A rt Heis* dorf, who with his wife, M ary, and the Nelson brothers, Bert and Clif­ ford, operate the farm . It was A rt’s brainchild to use the recorder in “running traps”— checking up on the hens to find out which ones are laying and which ones are “lying.” It’s done this way: Four days a week the trap is set. When the hen crawls in a nest a trap door closes behind her. She can’t get out until one of the partners lets her out. Each hen then is given a nim iber which is on a m etal tab placed around her leg. When anyone “nm s the traps,” he wears a sm all m icro­phone, presses the sm all m ike but­ ton and states the number o f the bird’s tag, and then' gives the number of eggs laid and any other pertinent inform ation about the bird. Many Conditions Affect Poultry Flock Breeding There are several conditions which can affect the fertility of a breeding poultry flock. Experts say it is a good plan to w ait for a week or 10 days after mSles have been put with the flock before starting to save eggs that are to be used for hatching. Weather conditions, vigor of males, size of flock, condition of layers, and number pf males are some of the im portm t factors.

Truman Chided h r His 'Newspaper Stand' . . . ELMER WRITES HIM AN OPEN LETTER Ey H. I. PHILLIPS LETTER FOR SPECIAL DELIVERY Hon. Harry S. Truman, Washington, D . C.Dear M r. President: It pains me to note that yon, who over the long pull have seemed to me a horse-sense fellow who knew baloney when he saw it and who didn’t like it. thin, thick or medium, have now taken up that old cry about the newspapers being in a deep plot against the people. Harry, you know better._•_ “There are no fuH-page ads for our iside,” you say in taking a dig at the press. Now that is plain has- senpfeffer. AH the page ads in opposition to your policies or acts in a year, if stacked end on end, would be completely lost in the thousands of pages which the American newspapers have de­voted to you in reporting your speeches and your programs. The space devoted to any one of your speeches in the papers of the coun­ try would swamp the total space consumed by all those fuU-page ads over a period of six months. The ads get into few papers; no paper fails to report your speeches to its fullest ability. Few Presidents In history have had a friendlier press. The note of kindness is to be found, even in the criticisms. The newspapers go to great expense to give you every break. It is doubtful if any oc­ cupant of the White House in 35 years has been more warm­ ly treated by tb« newspapers of this country from coast to coast and from border to bor­der. ♦_ At work or at play you get a m illion columns of newspaper space and any honest publicity expert in your own' party would adm it that the advertising is mostly good and that a ll the dough your opponets could lay a hand on wouldn’t be enough to get that much space for their views. So you m ust be kid­ding when you say, “There are no full pages for our side.”_< “Selfish interests are on the job year in and year out, seven days a week and 24 hours a day. They work through the editorial pages, the columnists and the commenta­ tors they control,” you assert, “They tw ist and misrepresent the measures the people voted for.”»_ Well, Harry, may the press of America never be as unfair to you as you are to the press when you make a crack like that. The fact twisters don’t last long on any paper. No newspaper can misrep­ resent things long and survive._*_ In a democratie country where a free press has men of all parties and beliefs running newspapers, yon don’t expect them all to be 100 per cent for everjrthing you propose, do you?> The press is one of America’s great institutions, Harry. It is m ighty im portant to the American system. It is im poijtant to the Democratic party, the Republican party and any other party. To de­ liberately undermine its prestige, crcate an atmosphere of distrust in its fairness and foster the notion that it is a tool of the privileged few is bad stuff, M r. President. In every great crisis the press is a Number One Need. You’ve needed it, Harry. And you’ve had it as few Americans have had it “year in and year out, seven days a week and 24 hours a day.” I thought you knew.

His mother was an extra in the early days of film- making, at Port Lee, N. J ., and BILL QUINN took B ill along. A stage career foUov/ed; came the depression, and he helped his mother and brother run a stationery store, perfect preparation for the setting of his radio show. His radio experience is extensive. Says B ill, “If there is a show that originated in New York in the past 12 or 13 years that I haven’t at least read a com­ m ercial on, I don’t know what it is.” Jerry Hausner just returned from a three months’ tour of Europe visited almost every country on the continent.

FICTION FCotPtet |L THE LAST CRY By NORMAN FREILICH U E STOOD outside his uncle’s ^ room, and as he listened for a brief moment to the labored breath­ ing coming from within, liis fea­ tures became distorted by some sinister emotion. For the physical wreck within the room, his imcle, stood between him and his inheri­ tance. Only upon Jason Stoneleigh’s death would he come into his estate, a n d only yesterday he learned from Doctor Phelps, his vmcle’s physician,' that old Jason would perhaps live for years. It was then he had made his decision.Alex clenched his fists as he thought how simple it would be to ______________strangle th e life 3 ~ out of the old man- Minute —but there was an Fiction______________ which would neverthrow an inkling of suspicion his way. His uncle kept a loaded gun in his room, eccentric as he was, he lived in fear of his life. He kept only one servant, who would be away today. Alex smiled to himself, deeply satisfied with his plan, as he en­tered the room. He greeted his uncle with robust good cheer, but his uncle, a dark scow] upon his thin bony face, sat in his chair silently. There was no movement in his body. “Aren’t you feeling any better?” he asked with feigned concern, and then the eyes of the two men met, and their glance seemed to sweep aside all pretense between them. “ It’s been a long wait, hasn’t it, Alex,” the old m an said with biting contempt, "but I ’m afraid it w ill even be longer. Doctor Phelps has been quite encourag­ing.” Alex edged toward the desk in which the gun would be. He opened the drawer, felt the brittle coldness of steel. He swept about to Jason Stoneleigh, and the gun was in his hand. “You miserable wretch,” he slurred, “I won’t have to wait a. day longer.”The old m an’s eyes stared wide with terror. His body did not rise from his seat as though he m ight be frozen with fear. There was only a pitiful cry: “You’ll hang for it, Alex!” K MOMENT later, with detached “ calm , Alex wiped the gun clean of liis own fingerprints, and then placed the weapon in the murdered m an’s hand. He took one last glance about the room assuring himself there was no trace of evidence.He was sleeping soundly that night, happy in the thought that in the morning he would be a wealthy man. But it was almost m idnight when he was awakened by the police. He was ordered to get into his clothes at once. “But I don’t understand,” he pro­tested, his face white and drawn. Then he succeeded in controlling iiis fears, realizing, of course, that tWs would be only a routine investi­ gation. Surely nothing could have gone wrong. He hastened into his clothes. The police drove him to the house of his uncle. It seemed a ll of them were awaiting him —the state’s at­ torney men, Jason’s servant—and in the background—Doctor Phelps. “I ’m here to give you gentle­ men every help,” he said, gravely, and the sound of his voice gave him sudden courage. “I ’m terribly upset to hear of my uncle’s sui­cide.” “ Suicide? Xou’re certain It was suicide?” The question was hurled roughly at him . Panic gripped him , and his eyes turned desperately to Doctor Phelps. “Surely, Doctor Phelps, you can tell them how absiurd it is to think otherwise. You can- teU them of m y uncle’s brooding over his m-health.” The doctor stepped toward Alex, his face stem , almost menacing. " I can only tell them the truth, A lex-” “ Yes, the truth,” Alex pleaded. “Your uncle suffered a stroke a week ago—and the gun which killed Jason Stoneleigh was found in his right hand”—the doctor paused— “and that hand and the whole arm were paralyzed.” CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1 A molded mass 5 A bird 9 Constellation 10 On the ocean Hire 12 Founder of Pennsylvania (poss.) 14 Department in Peru 15 Sorrow 17 Frozen water 18 Male adults 19 Sum up 20 Ever (con­ tracted) 21 Wrath 22 Poker stake 23 A binding agreement 25 Convulsions 26 Submerge 27 Eowing implement 28 Torrid 29 Hole-plereing tool 30 Observe 33 A wins 34 Sick 35 Method 3S Pierces, as withhoms 38 Ascend 40 Young . woman 41 Heal 42 Old time (archaic) 43 Shout p o n N 1 Spear-like weapon • SolQtton lo Next Usse. 4 I IIn w I t 'MISm20 M 2) w m zs 10a P i n w .'0.w .4, 2 Musical instrument 3 Grow old 4 Ahead 5 Yawned 6 Employ 7 Not harsh 8 Surgical instruments 11 Point 13 Wither16 Poem 21 Writing fluid 22 Breeze 23 The science of life 24 Province (Can.)

If you’re in doubt about what to choose, remember that a simple type in subdued colors w ill blend with almost any decorative scheme. Select Table Background To Harmonize with Dinnerware If you have chosen a subdued yellow set of dishes, your best choices for tablecloths w ill include soft green, several shades of blue, browTi and of course, white, either plain or touched with any of the already-mentioned colors. If your dinnerware is a soft green, the best choices are rose, maroon. Colorful and harmonious, pale lavender, yellow and brown for the background. For those of you who like floral types, select those colors for back­ ground which match or complement the main colors in the dinnerware. Silverware and glassware, too, should be in keeping with the dinner-, ware as well as the background tablecloths or doilies. Here are Sources For Tablecloths It’s easy, of course, provided you have the money to buy tablecloths and doilies for table settings, but it’s fun to see what you can do at home. Never again need you be ac­ cused of wearing a necklace merely for ornament’s sake, for now it has a utilitarian side as well. The new double duty idea is a highly ornamental necklace that is attached to a strapless evening dress to hold it smartly in place. The designs of the matching necklaces and matching bracelets are pace setters, too; for example, in the sketch shown is a cluster of grapes of sim u­lated pearls against rhinestone- studded leaves, combined with gold. Contempsrary Design WOMAN’S WORLD Simplicity, Harmony Outstanding On Tables Set With Taste. Care By Erlta Haley Ar e y o u p r o u d of the dishes and cloths and napkins which you use for setting the table? Or, are they just a jum ble of all sorts of dishes v/hich you’ve had in the past? If you really want to add beauty and graciousness to your home, one of the best ways in which to do it is to set your table for mealtimes with attractive and beautiful dishes and their proper accompaniments. Just in case you’re worried as to how the new table settings can come out of the budget, it’s im ­ portant to point out that the project need not involve a lot of expense. Quality dishes are within every­ one’s reach, and as for tablecloths or doilies and napkins, these might possibly be made at home with little or no outlay of actual money. It’s im portant to have certain colors and patterns in mind before starting this project. Decide what you like and be certain what you have chosen is in harmony with the furnishings in the home. Homes done in simple modern, early American, and some colonial types caU for simple table settings.For the more elaborate period types of homes, you’ll want to choose This lovely design in contem­ porary American pottery has sim plicity in every line. It is a fine example of the new trend in American dinnenvare, light in weight, yet strong and durable. It comes in subtle, pastels that are a favorite for casual, inform al liv­ ing and for that pleasant, relax­ ing supper after the rush of the day. Worn tablecloths can frequently be cut down to rectangular shapes to malce doilies. Perhaps the old napkins will even serve with the “new doilies.” Cotton bags, sheets, pillow cases and cotton remnants can frequently be converted into doilies. Dye them if it makes them more attractive, apply a light starch and press carefully. For simple table settings, use a fine, hand-hemmed edge, a narrow edging of good lace, a bias trim ­ m ing or a fringe. Study Dinnenvare Style .Before Choosing American dinnerware is now more plentiful than at any time since pre-war days and you’U find many attractive new lines stressing a spirit of individuality. Intensive research, increased output and lower costs have combined to put quality wares within the reach of every fam ily. There are certain differences in ware with which you should be fa­m iliar before buying. A ll of the following types are made by Amer­ ican potteries: vitrified china, semi- vitreous ware, often called fine earthenware, and pottery. Basically, the ingredients and methods of making are much the same for a ll three, but variations ^ processing and firing give differi characteristics to each. China, for example, is the m delicate of dinnerware. It is tra lucent, meaning that when you h a plate to light, you can see the c line of your fingers through it. may seem fragile, but is actui strong and durable. China is vi fied, which means that the ware been made entirely non-porous non-absorbent.

Semi-Vitreous Ware Is Non-Absorbent In style and beauty of patti semi-vitreous ware has the sa| qualities as china. In processing i texture it is different. Semi-vitre ware is molded somewhat thicl than china and is usually fired lower temperatures. It is not vi fied and is not translucent. H( ever, it’s an especially sturdy wa| capable of withstanding much ■ and long use. The deep glaze coj pletely seals the surface and mak the ware non-absorbent. Usually, semi-vitreous ware less expensive than china. It is ma^ in patterns which are entirely able for form al settings and more which are right at home less form al surroundings. Much of the gay, colorful nej dinnerv/are, which strikes a note inform ality is known in gener usuage as “American pottery! Basically, it’s a semi-vitreous w af and is no kin to the imported rou native ware commonly known pottery. Such native ware is rou in texture, made from coarse cla;^ fired at low temperatures and thiif ly glazed. Many of the most popular patter for casual, inform al occasions ar in American pottery. The ware deeply glazed, chip-resistant sturdy. Only because of its simp city, gay patterns and inform^ patterns is it called “pottery.” Because of its economy, America| pottery fits well within the fam il budget. For this same reason, marl families have the pottery for luncj eon and breakfast service in add tion to their dinnerware service china or semi-vitreous ware. Whatever you have, take precautions against misuse, should be hung whenever possibfl and plates m ay be stacked or placj on racks. China and semi-vitreo ware plates should be stacked ' pieces of felt between them. SEWING CIRCLE PAHERNS B y DR. KENNETH J . FOREM AN SCRIPTURE:Luke 9:28-36, 51.DEVOTIONAL READING: 2:5-11. Mark 8:27—9:1, 31-34; Philippians Trail of The Cross Lesson for A pril 3, 1949 Dr. Foreman •THE TURNING-POINT in Jesus’ * career was dram atic. But the few friends who were present did not then realize what it meant. On a vacation journey, Jesus put to his most intim ate friends this question: “Who do men say that I am ?” Peter’s answer,“Thou art the Christ,” may sound obvious to us, but was not obvious then. It was sensational, so much so that Jesus did not want the pub­ licity that would come to him if that name “Christ” were freely circu­ lated. For the word “Christ” meant nothing less than “King.” To the Romans it would sound like treason; but to the Jews it would sound like Judgm ent Day. When Peter .said, “ You are the Christ,” he was im plying also: “ You are im m ortal. You are the coming conqueror of the world. You are not in the same class with any other m an. You w ill do for mankind what no other hero has ever done.” God’s View and the D evil’s Q N ALL THAT glowing devotion Jesus’ next announcement fell like icy rain. In the ears of those friends of his it sounded like the beH of death. Never before had Jesus told them anything like this, and they must have found it hard to belive. For he had not a word about a throne, nothing about suc­cess, nothing about mastering the world. Quite the contrary. He must “suffer many things . . . be rejected . . . be killed.” If they heard the words “rise again” too, the words made no impression. For Jesus had announced what to them seemed impossible, absurd: He, the Christ, would be killed! Sm all wonder that Peter broke out— No, No! But Jesus would not com­ promise. He even called Peter “Satan” for thinking as he did. The Christian church agrees with Jesus, not with Peter.

Prelim inary tests at Davis, Calif., indicate that hogs gain most rapidly—^per pound of feed—at temperatures ranging from 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The rate of gain declines as the tempera­ture goes up or down beyond that 10-degree range and the biggest losses occur during extremely warm weather. Two-hundred-pounders lost about three pounds per day when ex­posed to 98-degree summer tem ­ peratures and, at 40 to 50 degrees, heavy hogs gained less than halt as much as during the 70- to 8 degree weather.

The Spirit of Research What has happened to the hall- starved genius who used to toil in some lonely attic, hoping to invent the wonder of the age? His day is just about over. There are not so many of these lone-wolf inventors as there were in grandpa’s time. Don’t we give patents any more? It isn’t th at America is still the land of liberty and opportunity. A man can still build his gadget and risk his shirt—in hope of making his first m illion. Some do. That spirit remains.The Newer Way But better ways have been found. The newer term "research” is grad­ually replacing the older term “in­ vention.” Our complex age has made specialization necessary, and this has been true of invention, or prod­uct development. To solve the prob­ lems of the day, the new v.'ay is to bring together many different minds, each highly trained in its own way. Industry is doing just this, and we call it research.The spirit of the attic inventor is there, but the tools and the meth­ods are different. W hile the half­ starved inventor struggled along with almost no financial backing, the modem research team requires and uses vast amounts of money.Gets Customers Now, I wonder if Joe Doe, member of Local 382, understands why his company put down in its 1947 an­ nual report: for Research and De­velopment, $2,000,000. In round figures, that was the sum spent last year by a company that employs about 8,000 persons. Some com­panies spend more. One of the firms that manufacture rayon reports that it has spent more than $30,000,000 since it became interested in that productTrue, it may seem like a lot of money your company is spending for research, Joe. But remember this: research money comes right back to you in a thousand ways. Actually, the company that does not spend for research, tor better ways of producing belter products, is a company that wiU lose out and close down in the long run. A more enterprising competitor w ill wind up with the consumer’s dollar! Spirit of America The company that spends for re­ search is the company th£.t I ivould want to work for. It is also the company whose stock Td be willing to buy. I am convinced that when many industries are putting large sums of money into research, to find the answers to problems that face them and the consumer, that money is well spent Years of time and millions of dollars may be be­ hind a new product But it may be worth far more. Many a new job and a much better product may be the result I mentioned rayon. Nowadays, nylon is newer. The DuPont Com­pany spent 11 years of research be­ fore they could even announce nylon, and used up $11,000,000 be­fore a penny was earned from the product That kind of thing can happen only in America, and under free enterprise. The freedom to ven­ture tuid to look for the better way of doing things, for the newer and better product, belongs to the spiril of America, and it is responsible for our high wages and our high sUnd- ard of living.

For their value as engineers, beavers often are carried to locali­ties where their kind once lived but disappeared. They are captured in large basket-like traps and trans­ ported to depleted lands where beaver dams are needed.
