'Y\ Vl^ords Fitly Spoken Rev. W. E. Isenhonr. .lUb Point. N. C. R4 W e are so created. It seems, un- til we n aturally appreriate good words spoken unto us more than bad words. Over in Proverbs 2 5 :11 we read: A word fitly sponken is like apples of gold In pictures of silver.” Just as snch a picture would appeal to one’s m ind, so good words appeal to one’s heart Good words, spoken w ithout Bat. tery, eneourages us, bless us, cheer us, u p lift and strengthem us as we go on life’s journey. One of our readers savs, “ I still read your sermons in the paper and enjoy every word. I am pray, ing for you and the work you are doing. Pray for roe and my fami. ly, I am sending you two dollars to use as you see best.” Dear reader, yonr good words encourage ns to continue onr writ, ing. It takes valuable time to write onr messages and pooms. and lots of .ctudy, therefore when we receive word from onr readers, that they appreciate our efforts to serve them through the printed pnge, and have she assurance that thev are praving for us, along w*tl» an occasional offering to help «s meet expensa, it certainly does us much good Praise *he Lord Our writ­ ing has ail been freely given to the various puWicatlou* to which we have contributed across the years, as we have never change anything, so it is quite encouraging when t>eop1e show their appreciation hy writing us encouraging letters and enc1o.sing an offering. A few small offerings have been sent ns by pnb. lisbers. or by those who wanted a noem or piece of writing, but the greater part of nnr income from our writing has been on the part of appreciative leadeis. This has been voluntarv. Mav God richly bless and graciously reward each every one. A recent letter from a reader In Taylorsville, N . C., to wife and myself reads, in part as follows: “ We love yon here in Alexander conntv and enjoy vour inspiring articles and poems in the diffarent papers we read. Keep up the good work.

The 1 1 members of the commission disagreed on some points. Defense Secretary James Forrestal argued that the commis­ sion lacks both competence and an. thoritT to make a policy decision that Indians should be fitted In with the rest of the population He felt the matter should be left to Congress Secretary of State Dean Acheson and former Presidential Assistant Jamas Rowe, Jr.; also voiced mis* givings. Acheson questioned the idea of removing what he called ‘ Surplus” Indians from Indian lands and putting the land into pri­ vate, individnal. or corporate own­ ership. In most other respects, bowaver, the recommendations were nnnnimoas. Kats Equipped with Radio Aid in Behavior Studies laboratory rats with miniature ra­dio receivers built into their heads soon may be providing psychologists with new information about the be­havior effects of electrical stimula­ tion of the brain. By devising a way of “broadcast­ing” short wave Impulses to rats, Dr. Joseph A. Gengerelli, associate pro- taao r ot psychology In the Universi­ ty of California at Los Angeles, ap­pears to have cracked a bottleneck which has long plagued investigators in this field. Heretofore, electric stimulation of the brain required wiring the subject to a source of electricity. The direct physical connection necessarily re­stricted the subject’s movements.It was to overcome this objection, ■aid Dr. Gengerelli, that he designed a means of stimulating nerves by ra­ diant energy.The rats are equipped with what is actually the receiving end of a minia­ ture "walkie-talkie.” Dn Gengerelli "sends” to the,rats by means of a small signal generator which emits short wave impulses of a very high frequency.Rats and transmitter are enclosed In a pen equipped with "learning box­ es” through which he animals run at wiU.Speed of learning, retention and other behavior traits which might be Influenced by electric shock can be observed imder rigidly controlled con­ ditions, Dr. Gengerelli said. Talce Precautions to Avoid Heat Exhaustion, Sunstroke Heat exhaustion and sun stroke are two entirely different things, even though both may seem to result from exposure to high external heat. With heat exhaustion, the patient’s skin is cold and clammy, while with sun stroI:e, the skin is hot and dry. A simple rule may serve as a guide and avoid confusion regarding he treat­m ent Briefly, it is this: If the patient is cold, make him warm; if he is hot, make him cool. You can protect yourself against heat sickness by following these Na­tional Safety coimcil recommenda­ tions;Avoid overexertion, particularly In the early part of the heat wave. Avoid too much exposure to direct sun rays or extreme Indoor tempera­ tures and high humidity; wear a hat while out of doors. Wear light, porous clothing and avoid tight fitting clothes. Increase the use of salt on food, or use salt tablets or salt bi drinking water to offset the excessive loss of salt from the body through perspir­ ation.Drink water often throughout the day, one glass at a time.Bat nutritious food but avoid over­ eating: vitamin C lost through per­ spiration should be replaced with fruit juices.Get plenty of sleep and bathe regu­ larly.Avoid Ice cold water and alcohol.

JEST JESTIN' Vermont’s Scenic Wonders ■PVEBY summ er the farmers in a certain section of Vermont would hav* at many “paymg guests” as they could handle. It was a good businesa for the farm- m , but it greatly puzzled one of fhem. One day, after the work was done, when he was sitting on the porch with a visitor, the pxizzled farmer asked, “Why do you people come up here every year? Nottita’ here Hiat 1 can see.’’ “Why, the' scenery, man. It’s glorious!”The farm er looked around. "H uh,” he said. “ ’Tain’t so hot. Take away the mountains and the lake and what have you got?” No Assistance Tearing down the street as fast •s he could go was a little m an, and behind him toiled the bartender of the local tavern in hot pursuit. At the comer a policeman stood re­garding the scene w ith a smile. “Why don’t you help me catch him ?" bellowed the bartender, as he drew alongside the m an in blue. The policeman looked surprised. “He told me that you were racing for the price of a drink,” he said.“So I am ," shouted the bar­tender. “He didn’t pay for it l” SMALL TALK Toni—1 never loved anyone but you.Jane—Nonsense!

Roman costumes were worn bv members of the class and guests. A t the altar offerings were made to the gods to see if -it was per- missable for them to eat. They were granted permission. Theser* vants began to serve. Thev were Nancy Durham, Jane Click, John Johnstone and Jimmy Powell. The dinner was divided into three parts, the appetizer, main course and dessert. Between the second and third course a playlet was given entitled. “They will Gos­ sip.” Players were Glenda Madi son, Jean Smith, Guy Farthing> Guy Hartman, Thelma Laird, Ed wina Long and Nancy Stroud. After the third course everyone had their fortune told. Three Priestesses, one of Love, Edwina Lon^ one of Money, Jean Smith; one of Career, Nancy Stroud, told the fortunes.

Artificial Ponds on Farms YioM Now, Valuablo Crop Farmers in the United States are raising a new crop, along with the traditional com and wheat. That crop is fish. . According to the 1948 printing of the Encyclopedia Brltannica, thou­ sands of farmers are engaging in fish culture at the present tim e in their own once-day pastures.A lakeside location is not neces­ sary to fish culture. Artificial ponds have been constructed on tens of thousands of farm s since 1940, Bri- tannica reveals.“These ponds, normally ranging from one-half acre to several acres m size, are stocked with large- mouth bass and sunfish fingerlings in a ratio of 100 bass to 1,000 or 1,500 stmfish per acre. The ponds are then fertilized to produce natu­ ral food and m ay yield 200 to 300 potmds of fish per year.”Stocking these ponds with young fish is a job undertaken by federal and sta ti fish hatcheries, operating at capacity to fill the increasing de­m and. Statistics in Britannica show several hundred hatcheries in active operation. Empty Cotton Bags Ingenious use bas been made of empty cotton feed and flour bags by some home sewers. One'woman in Memphis, Tenn., redecorated her whole house with bag fabric, usmg the empty bags to make curtains, slip covers, and tablecloths. Many home sewers report that they have outfitted their entire fam ilies in cot- : ton bag garments. In 1947 approxit m ately 750 miUion yards of cotton fabric was u s ^ in making bags. Had a ll this m aterial been re-used by home sewers, there would have heen fabric enough for more than 214 m illion dresses! Every Bird Is Different SI No two buds are exactly aUke in appearance. They differ in size,, in color, and in pattern. Some­times even in a casual acquaint­ ance with the birds on the lawn, there w ill be a few one can recog­nize individually: an especially bright bluejay, a robui with an un- ustudly red breast, or a yellow warbler with extra-heavy chestnut breast m arkings. But even th« sparrows that look exactly alike to a casual glance w ill, on closer study, turn out to be recognizaU* as individuals. Seen AIoDg Main Street By The Street Rambler. oooono Pfc.

Duffy, Manager. W e have many inquiries asking how to figure the amount a per­ son will receive when he is 65. I shall briefly explain. There are 4 quarters in each year ending Mar. 31. June 30, Sept. 30 and Dec. 31. A t the end of each quarter your employer sends to the Bureau of Internal Revenue a tax return showing the name. Social Security Number and the amount of wages paid each employer during that quarter. These returns are sent to Social Security Administration and the amount of wages credited to each employee’s account. W e have available a record of wages TCported since Jan. 1, 1937. the date this program went into ef­ fect A t age 65 when a worker writes or comes in our office to file his claim for benefits, we re­ quest a copy of his wage record and his benefits are figured from the wages posted to his credit. Let’s figure a benefit and see ex­ actly how it’s done. For example, you will be 65 on April 10, 1949, and plan to redre at that time. You should notify us that you have stopped work. W e would request a copy of your wage re­ cord and find out what your total wages are. Suppose your wage re­ cord shows a total amount of $22,- 050 from Jan. 1. 1937 thru Mar. 31, 1949. To get your average monthly wage we divide this a- mount by the number of months from Jan, 1, 37 through March I 949. or 147. The amount we get is $150.00, your average monthly wage. We take 40 per cent of the first $50, which is $20 and 10 per cent of the remaining $100 of your average monthly wage,. which is $10. We add the two ($20 and $10) and this is your basic benefit. Since you have been paid $200 or more in each of 13 years (1937- 1949), 13 per cent of $30, or $3.90 is added to the $30 and your mon- ly benefit will be $33.90. If your vrife vdll also be 65 or over in April 1949, she will upon filing application receive one half of this amount or $16.95, giving the two $59.85 a month. If there is one child under 18 years of age. unmarried and not working in covered emplovment, that child will receive $16.95. We have a i- amphlet explaining the provisions of the Social Secu­ rity Act and will be glad to send a copy to you.

Howya-Doon Tells How Grownups Should Behave ... THEY'D GET GOUT, RHEUMATISM, ULCERS By H. I. PHILLIPS HOWYfi-DOON, ADULTS? The influence of a new radio character called “Hovvdy-Doody” on the kiddies is the talk of the amusement world. Howdy-Doody is a puppet on the program of Bob Smith, and, he has come close to taking over the American home at 6 p. m. daily. Howdy manages to work in a lot of pleas for the sm all fry to clean their plates, m ind their health and otherwise behave themselves, and we think it m ight be a good idea to introduce a sim i­ lar character for influencing the grownups.> Our character would be an adult puppet called “Howya-Doon,” and STAR DUST Ozzie and Harriet Switch to CBS By IN EZ GERHARD WFTER PRACTICING fancy ice- “ skating figures like m ad at a local rink, Harriet Nelson talked the reluctant Ozzie into taking the fam ily to Lake Arrowhead for winter sports, so that she could show off a bit. But they arrived to find the rink there covered with ten feet of snow. That suited Ozzie, who retired to their rooms and OZZIE AND HARRIET worked on the next “Ozzie and H arriet” script. If you’re among their thousands of devoted listeners of course you know that they are working their own children into their program in place of the young actors who have portrayed them ; also you know that they have just switched from NBC to CBS.

Golly, how nice it seems to be with you adults once more! I hope you’ve all been very nice adults and behaved your­selves in every way. Howya-Doon, did you clean up your plate today? HOWYA-DOON—Aw gosh, I cer­ tainly didn’t. I ’m not that crazy, M r. Smith. SMITH—I thought not. That’s fine. W hat happens .to adults who lick their platters clean. HOWYA-DOON—They get gout, indigestion, stomach acidity, rheu­ m atism , double chins, heartburn and everything. Gee, their diet gets a ll shot to pieces, M r. Smith, and they get fat and their clothes look awful on ’em._•_ SMITH—Right. So what is the proper way for grownups to behave at meals? HOWYA-DOON—Aw, that’s easy, M r. Smith. They do just what I do, lay off any kind of food that tastes good! SMITH—Anything that appeals to the taste, eh?/ HOWYA-DOON-Sure. If it’s ap­ petizing, it’s no good. All nice grownups who want their children to be proud of them w ill just go for carrots, beets, spinach and things like that.m SMITH—If by chance you get something on your plate that tastes swell and that isn’t fattening, is it okay to eat it aU? HOWYA DOON—Aw, no! A good little adult always carries a calory chart and makes himself pretty miserable figuring up the calories in everything he eats. I hope all you grownups do this._•_ SMITH—So do I, Howya. And now it’s tim e to show the movies. We’ve got some wonderful ones that are right down the alley for grownups. They are from the American M edical association and show what happens to adults who enjoy eating and lead happy , lives. But first, did you brush your teeth this morning? HOWYA-DOON-Aw, sure, I took my uppers and lowers right out of the glass of water where I put ’em each night and gave ’em a good stiff brushing. m SMITH—And what else did you do that a ll good grownups should do? . HOWYA-DOON—I put m y hotwa- ter bottle and my liver pads away neatly after I got up and I made sure all the bottles in the medicine cabinet were in order. SMITH—That’s fine.

D IG G LES kept his head down as though he were study­ing the prescription, scarcely hear­ ing Mrs. Tompkins voice through the noise of blood thudding in his temples. When he tried to speak, his lips were dry and his tongue moved nervously over them . “I beg your pardon, lilrs. Tompkins, what was that you said?” “I said if you haven’t a delivery boy I ’ll w ait for the three o’clock bus, but I ’m anxious to get back as soon as I can.” He looked again at Dr. Price’s cramped handwriting. “Oh, I ’ll de­liver it, M rs. Tompkins. I ’m sorry to learn M r. Tompkins isn’t well.” 'I told him it’s just his bad dis­ position coming out. I told D r.______________Price I certsunly I hated to drag him3-Minute out in weather like Fiction ®riv n u ii stomach ache. Doc­ tor says he’ll be all right in a day or two.” M r. Diggles took the handker­chief from the pocket of his grey alpaca coat and wiped his forehead. The moment he used to dream of years ago, was here at last. This would cost D r. Price his practice. The pity was, D r. Price would never know he could have saved himself, if he hadn’t made it so clear that a m an who mixed pre­ scriptions wasn’t supposed to know about diagnosis. D r. Price would never know what he’d done to him ­self when he told Mrs. White she m ight as well give the twins a chocolate soda as Diggles’ Own Whooping Cough Mixture. Because of D r. Price’s new ways of doing things, no one bought Diggles’ Ready Rheum atism Reliever now. Shots, it was, the doctor was giv­ing for everything. Not prescrip­ tions. Manslangbter, they called It. He wet Us Ups. WeU, no one eonld expect Bit. Diggles to in­ terfere wlfh Dr. Price’s pre­ scriptions again. Not a second time. Though it was so m any years ago, he could feel the flush of anger that flooded his face remembering the day he’d called D r. Price up, and suggested that maybe the heart medicine he ordered for M r. Ven­ ables was too strong. “I know what I ’m doing. Just m ind your own business,- Diggles, and I can m ind m ine.” He looked again at the prescrip­tion. There was no mistaking the symbol and he’d fill it as it stood. He reached for the bottle M d re­moved the cork. Carefully, he meas­ ured out the prescribed dose. I ^ R . DIGGLES straightened sud- denly, staring at the partly filled m ortar. A feeling of nausea swept through him as he snatched it up and flung the contents into the sink. His hand, replacing the bot­ tle on the sheU, trembled. Outside, the wind howled and flakes of ice made a cold noise beating the window pane. Slowly, he walked toward the telephone. After all, jnst as many people swore by Dr. Price as tmsted Diggles. As he waited, listening to Dr. Price’s telephone bell ringing, the shop door opened. M r. Diggles put down the receiver and went to the front. D r. Price was on the m at, stamping the snow from his feet.“Diggles, win you let me see the prescription Mrs. Tompkins just brought in ?”“I was just trying to call yon about it, D r. Price. I felt there was some little inaccuracy.”D r. Price nodded. “Something told me. But I wasn’t really wor­ ried. I knew you’d catch a mistake if there was one. It’s a great com­fort to me to know that a substan­ tia l m an like you is checking up on me, Diggles.”“I have to do what I can. A m an has to do his duty. He smiled and stood up. “That’s right, doctor. 1 guess duty becomes a habit if you do it long enough.” The wind screamed into the shop as D r. Price opened the door and went out. It was a bleak, bitter day, but in M r. Dig- ■gles’ heart it was suddenly stmi- mer.

A moment later, the same man, still standing, repeated his ques­ tion. At this second call another m an rose and said, “ Yes, I ’m a doc­ tor,” whereupon the other nearly fimshed off the performance by asking in a tone of great good na­ ture:—“How do you like the show. Doc?” Action, Please Annoyed with the progress of a certain scene. Movie Director Greg­ory Batoff jum ped out of his seat and threw his hat violently to the ground. “Get me some ballet dancers!” he roared.“Ballet dancers?” repeated the bewildered, script girl. “The script doesn’t call for any ballet dancers.” “I know,” thundered the angry Ratoff, “but I ’m going to have someone on his toes around here!” POOR THING B ill: “Why so melancholy, old m an?”John: “M y girl gave me my ring hack last night.” BiU: “WeU, buck np, there are others.” Johji: “Yes, of course, hat somehow I can’t help feeling sorry for the poor girl.” That D id ItA rookie was home on furlough. “W hat did you have to eat?” in­quired his mother. . “Oh a little bit of everything,” he replied vaguely; “W hat do you mean by every­thing?” asked mother. “Oh well, soup for instance,” he answered.

The iron curtain around the Krem lin is almost impenetrable, and all the speculation as to what the Molotov-Vishinsky shift means was nothing more than that—mere speculation. There was a tim e when the United States was able to get reasonably accurate inside-Krem- lin inform ation rfom the Czechs . and the Poles but since the Czech Communist purge and the tighten­ ing up in Poland, those sources have dried up. ' However, if past precedents are any criterion, the Russians w ill not take the north Atlantic pact lying down. They are more than likely to move—and may move in the opposite direction. That is beliind feverish Amer­ ican plans to fortify Iran, also be­ hind U. S. Ambassador John Wiley’s frantic cables from Teher­an. He seems convinced the Rus­ sians w ill move there next. ‘■S.O.B.» User Rebuked The vice-president of the United States isn’t advertising it, but he once participated in a severe note of censure of a congressman who used the same S. O. B. initials re­cently used by the President of the United States. The vote ot censure was tak­ en against Rep. Thomas L . Blanton, Democrat of Texas. Passed unanimously by the house of representatives when Alben Barkley was a member, the resolution stated: “Whereas Thomas L. Blanton . . . inserted in the Congressional Record, a letter which was in­ decent, obscene, vulgar and vile; “Whereas the said Thomas L. Blanton . . . has offered an in­ dignity to the house and to the people represented by the mem­ bership in congress . . . for which he deserves the severest rebuke and drastic censure, therefore be it “Resolved that the speaker of the house is hereby directed to summon him to the bar of the house and deliver to him its repri­ mand and censure.” The obscene m atter which Blan­ ton had inserted in the Record on Oct. 22, 1921, was a letter written by M illard French, an employee in the govenmient printing office, addressed to George H. Carter, public printer. The letter con­ tained the abbreviation S. O. B. Narrowly Escaped Ouster Nevertheless, Blanton escaped being e^ipelled from congress by only an eight-vote m argin. A total of 293 congressmen voted to expel him . Among those in congress at the tim e were such close friends of President Truman as Jam es F . Byrnes, later Tru­ m an’s secretary of state; Tom Connally ol Texas, now chair­m an of the senate foreign rela­ tions committee; Speaker Sam Rayburn, and Vice President Barkley. A ll the above voted to expunge Blanton’s S. O. B. abbreviation from the record but none of the above opposed the resolution of censure, though they did not vote to expel. The attack against Blanton was led by the late Rep. Frank Mon- dell of Wyoming and Nicholas Longworth, late speaker of ths house, also now deceased. Mondell. lu-ging that Blanton be expelled, said: “Anyone uttering in public anywhere the words placed in 'th * Congressional Record by the mem­ ber from Texas should be subject to fine and imprisonment. While v/e cannot repeat the words which form the basis of this charge, it can be said that they are unspeak­ ably foul, vile, filthy, profane, blasphemous, and obscene.” Alter the resolution of censure was voted, Blanton was called be­ fore the spea||er’s rostrum, where Speaker Fred G illet stated: “ 1 have been directed to cen­ sure you because, when you had been allowed by flie cour­ tesy ot the house to print a speech, you inserted in it loni and obscene m atter . . , and that disgusting m atter was transm itted as part ot the pro­ ceedings of the house to thou­sands ot homes and libraries throughout the country to be read by men and women, and, worst of an, by children. In ac­ cordance with the instructions of the hoose and as its rep­ resentative, I pronounce apon yon its ceiunre.” As Blanton left the floor of the house he collapsed in the corridor, struck h is . head on the marble floor and had to be assisted to his office. Glass Blockis Offer Builder Advantages Use Features Practical Feeder Bam Planning This practical feeder bam , shown below, not only offers good venti­ lation, freedom from drafts, and abundant daylight, but is designed to cut maintenance costs as well. Developed principally for dairy stock, it has a labor-saving floor arrangement with a feed room and silo convenient to the feeding alleys. Doors at either end provide venti- D airy bam suitable for big or m edium size farm operations. lation through the litter alley to re­ move odors. Ample roof vents dis­ perse siunm er heat, aid the circu­lation of air in winter as do louvres under the peak of the gabls. Control over ventilation has been carefully planned to eliminate creeping drafts. Sliding doors in- sin'e a tight closure and the gen­ erous use of glass block panels minim izes drafts usually encoun­ tered with conventional windows. These panels are fitted with hinged sashes which are easily swimg for ventilation. The glass blocks trans­m it an abundance of daylight. Even on cloudy days the bam is bright and cheerful. As a bam m aterial, glass block offers many advantages. Of hollow construction with a partial vacuum inside, the block has a high in­ sulation factor which can help m ain­tain heat of the bam in winter. This insulation value minimizes cold down drafts. Condensation and frosting are practically eliminated.An all-important advantage in these days of high costs is the per­ manency of glass block panels. Set in m ortar, the glass is impervious to weather and hum idity, is un­ harmed by chemical disi^ectants often required to m aintain dairy sanitation. An occasional washdown with a hose is a ll that is required to keep the panel surfaces spark­ ling clean. Painting is never re­ quired. Maintenance is also reduced by the liberal use of other long-wearing m aterials. W alls are of cinder or concrete block, the floor of poured concrete, and the roof of either a good grade of galvanized steel sheet or alum inum . The flbor plan has been developed for efficiency and functional use of space. Know Tour Pesticides As every coimty agent w ill point out, it is profitable to the farmer to know how to choose and use pesticides properly. There are many well known and m any relatively new chemicals for controlling pests. Their strong points and their weak points should be compared before making a choice.“It is im portant,” the agents em­ phasize, “to be fam iliar with your pest problems and to recognize and follow reliable recommendations rather than mere reports and sug­ gestions of untrained persons. “Study the problems that may follow use of certain m aterials, s u ^ as residues and off-llavors. Consider tim ing of ap^cations, dosages, mefliods of removing residues, etc., as a means of overcoming sec­ ondary problems. Be sure products you buy comply with all regula­tions. “Accuracy of dosage is one of the fundamentals in the use of medem chenoicals. Read labels and ac­ companying directions c a re fu l. Check Fire Equipment, Fanners Are Advised Farmers are urged by county agents to check fire extinguishers to be certain they are approved.These warnings are based on re­ ports from Fnre Protection Insti­tute, a national fire safety organi­zation, that many “unapproved” extingui^iers have been made available during the past few years. It was pointed out that an unde­ pendable extinguisher is about as jseful as a counterfeit dollar.

Range of Religion Lesson for A pril 10,1949 Dr. Foreman Q N C E THERE WAS a farm er ^ who owned a large farm . Its wide acreage was divided into pas­tures and fields and a garden and orchards and hdg- lots and ' , chicken-, yards and so on. But whenever any one would ask the farm er about some particular part of the farm , he would answer, “That’s not ray b u s i n e s s— that’s only the or­chard, it isn’t the farm ;” or “—That’s not the farm , that’s a flock of sheep,” or a rye field or whatever it m ight be. Of course such a farm er never lived, or if he did, he should have his head examined. W hat Does Religion Cover? V E T THAT FA RM ER is not a bit more idiotic than a Christian who, when asked about this or that activity or aspect of life, answers, “That’s not religion. I have no in­terest in it.” Religion isn’t a little fenced-oft pasture for lam bs, a tiny garden plot behind thick- hedges. Religion covers flie whole farm , every bit of life from end to end. Jesus knew this very weU. He never once refused to discuss anything on the ground that it was not religions. He cast light on everything that touched him . He caUed his followers the “light of the world.” Not flash­ lights, shining in one narrow beam! Kot flashlights, but lamps, set on a lam pstand and “giving light to aU who are in the house.” The Light O f God n GOOD cross-section of Jesus’ “ methods and ideas can be seen in M ark 10, into which one chapter M ark packs his whole account of a number of weeks which Jesus spent in the region called Perea. Observe the variety of situations whicdi con­ fronted Jesus. F irst there was a question about divorce. When they brought that question up to Jesus, he did not dodge it. He did not call it a personal m atter in which he, as a teacher of religion, had no in­ terest. He did not say it was strict­ ly a m atter for the civil courts. You m ay read what he did say in Mark 10. You w ill not that first of all he brings God into his answer. Religion A nd L ittle Children •PH IS CHAPTER includes the fa- mous story of the little children who were brought to Jesus—evident­ ly quite sm all children, for Jesus lifted them into his arms. We do not here Jesus saying, “ Oiildren are too sm all for me to take any interest in them . W ait till they are older. What good can religion do these tiny tots?” On the contrary, Jesus not only blessed them , but held them up as models for older people. Is your church folloning Jesus here? Is your church interested in the little children as much as it is in the “paying” members? Or are the little ones shoved off into some dam p comer of the chiu:ch basement? In your state or province, do the (Christian people take an interest in the children? Do children in your section get as good attention as pure-bred cattle do? As W ide As life rEN THERE WAS a question about eternal life. Of course Jesus ^mswered that one, it was obviously a r^g io u s question. (Ex­ cept that he gave it what some people even today would consider a not very religious answer!) Jesus went on to talk about money and the effect it has on a m an’s prospect of eternal life. Jesus would be the very last person to im agine that a man’s bank account has nothing to do with religion. Some people to this day don’t like to hear a preacl^ er mention money in his sermons. WeU, such people m ight have been offended by Jesus, for he often preached about money and prop­erty. Then there was ^ question of am bition, the audacious quest that Jam es and John made ot him . He had some strong re­marks to make about that. And finally at Jericho, not long before P alm Sunday, there was the blind beggar Bartim aeus. Jesus did not say to him , “Health is no aiffair of mine. I cure souls, not bodies.” <Coc^gbt Ig^the Internal_________Of Religious Education oa behalf of . PwtMtent denominations. Released by W HIJ Features) CLASSIFIED E P A R T M E M T BUSINESS ft INVEST.

THEY'D GET GOUT, RHEUMATISM, ULCERS By H. I. PHILLIPS " HOWYfi-DOON. ADULTS? The influence of a new radio character called “Howdy-Doody" on the kiddies is the talk of the amusement world. Howdy-Doody is a puppet on the program of Bob Smith, and, he has come close to taking over the American home at 5 p. m . daily. Howdy manages to work in a lot of pleas for the sm all fry to clean their plates, m ind their health and otherwise behave themselves, and we think it m ight be a good idea to introduce a sim i­lar character for influencing the grownups._•_ Our character would be an adult puppet called “Howya-Doon,” and would operate along the same pat­ tern, as follows:SMITH—Wen here’s your friend Howya-Doon, the friend of a ll grownups, again, folks. Golly, how nice it seems to be with you adults once morel I hope you’ve a ll been very nice adults and behaved your­selves in every way. Howya-Doon, did you clean up your plate today?HOWYA-DOON—Aw gosh, I cer­ tainly didn’t. I ’m not that crazy, M r. Snlith. SMITH—1 thought not. That’s fine. W hat happens to adults who lick their platters clean. HOWYA-DOON-They get gout, indigestion, stomach acidity, rheu­ m atism , double chins, heartburn and everything. Gee, their diet gets all shot to pieces, M r. Smith, and they get fat and their clothes look awful on ’em.• ■ SMITH—Right. So what is the proper way for grownups to behave at meals? HOWYA-DOON—Aw, that’s easy, M r. Smith. They do just what I do, lay off any kind of food that tastes good! SMITH—Anything that appeals to the taste, eh? HOWYA-DOON—Sure. If it’s ap­ petizing, it’s no good. A ll nice grownups who want their, children to be proud of them w ill just go for carrots, beets, spinach and things like that._•_ SMITH—If by chance you get something on your plate that tastes swell and that isn’t fattening, is it okay to eat it aU? HOWYA DOON—Aw, not A good little adult always carries a calory chart and makes him self pretty miserable figuring up the calories in everything he eats. I hope all you grownups do this.__•_ SMITH—So do I, Howya. And now it’s tim e to show the movies. We’ve got some wonderful ones that are right down the alley for grownups. They are from the American Medical association and show what happens to adults who enjoy eating and lead happy lives. But first, did you brush your teeth this morning? HOWYA-DOON-Aw, sure, I took m y uppers and lowers right out of the glass of water where I put ’em each night and gave ’em a good stiff brushing. SMITH—And what else did you do that a ll good grownups should do? HOWYA-DOON—I put m y hotwa- ter bottle and nay liver pads away neatly after I got up and I made sure all the bottles in the medicine cabinet were in order. SMITH—That’s fine. And now we’re going to introduce our new character Dub-a-Dab. HOWYA-DOON — Who’s Dub-a- Dab? SMITH—He’s the wonderful adult who never grunts, seems to enjoy life and ALWAYS BEHAVES SO H IS CHILDREN CAN BE PROUD OP H IM ! • • • Cuff Stuff Louis Johnson is the new secre­ tary of defense and those who are aU for a strong America hope he w ill not be bothered by the current cry, “Louis, drop that gvin.”• • • A Moscow paper says that Rus­ sian soon w ill be a world language. No doubt it w ill require an alpha­ bet of but two letters, “N” and “O” .* • • Travel Note: H. Tnunan, who was on a visit in Washington, re­ turned to Key West.• • • Elm er Twitchell says he would order a new $4,000 auto now, but he is waiting for it to come down IS cents.• • • A big store chain has opened stores In New York subway. It wiU specialize in "jam s.” Switch to CBS By IN EZ GERHARD nFTER PRACTICING fancy ice- ^ skating figures like m ad at a local rink, Harriet Nelson talked the reluctant Ozzie into taking the fam ily to Lake Arrowhead for winter sports, so that she could show off a bit. But they arrived to find the rink there covered with ten feet of snow. That suited Ozzie, who retired to their rooms and OZZIE AN9 HARRIET worked on the next “Ozzie and Harriet” script. If you’re among their thousands of devoted listeners of course you know that they are working their own children into their program in place of the young actors who have portrayed them ; also you know that they have just switched from NBC to CBS. Biu-ns and Allen’s high Hooper- ating didn’t keep their sponsor from dropping them at the end of the current season. It is reported that he thought the show too ex­ pensive, wants to spend part of the money on television. Robert Young in a comedy series w ill be the air replacement. W ith sponsors clam ­ oring for them, George and Gracie were not worried. ' Claudette Colbert wants to return to the New York stage next fall—has found a play she likes, but must clear up some picture commitments. Greer Garson, never yet seen on the Broadway stage, also wants to tackle it. John Wayne may find himself wishing he were two people. He has signed to do one picture an­ nually for Warner Bros., has a con­ tract to make three for RKO, three for Republic and an unspecified number for his own independent company.

Diggles took the handker­ chief from the pocket of his grey alpaca coat and wiped his forehead. The moment lie used to dream of years ago, was here at last. This would cost D r. Price his practice. The pity was, Dr. Price would never know he could have saved liim self, if he hadn’t made it so clear that a m an who mbced pre­ scriptions wasn’t supposed to know about diagnosis. D r. Price would never know what he’d done to him ­ self when he told M rs. White she m ight as well give the twins a chocolate soda as Diggles’ Own Whooping Cough Mixture. Because of D r. Price’s new ways of doing things, no one bought Diggles’ Ready Rheum atism Reliever now. Shots, it was, the doctor was giv­ing for everything. Not prescrip­ tions. Manslanghter, they caUed it. He wet his iips. W ell, no one could expect M r. Diggles to In­ terfere w ifli D r. Price’s pre­scriptions again. Not a second tim e. Though it was so many years ago, he could feel the flush of anger that flooded his' face remembering the day he’d called Dr. Price up, and suggested that maybe the heart medicine he ordered for M r. Ven­ ables was too strong. “I know what I ’m doing. Just 'm ind your own business, Diggles, and I can m ind m ine.”He looked again at the prescrip­ tion. There was no mistaking the symbol and he’d fill it as it stood.He reached for the bottle and re­ moved the cork. Carefully, he meas­ured out ^ e prescribed dose. Mr . DIGGLES straightened sud­ denly, staring at the partly filled mortar. A feeling of nausea swept through him as he snatched it up and flung the contents into the sink. His hand, replacing the bot­ tle on the shelf, trembled. MR. DIGGLES ON DUTY By MARY WHITEFORD Outside, the wind howled and flakes of ice made a cold noise beating the window pane. Slowly, he walked toward the teleidione. After all, just as m any people swore by D r. P rice, as trusted Diggles. As he waited, listening to Dr. Price’s telephone bell ringing, the shop door opened. M r. Diggles put down the receiver and went to the front. D r. Price was on the m at, stam ping the snow from his feet.“Diggles, w ill you let me see the prescription Mrs. Tompkins just brought in?” ■'I was just trying to call you about it. D r. Price. I felt there was some little inaccuracy.” D r. Price nodded. “Something told me. B ut I wasn’t really wor­ ried. I laiew you’d catch a mistake if there was one. It’s a great com­fort to me to know that a substan­ tia l m an like you is checking up on me, Diggles.”“1 have to do what I can. A m an has to do his duty. He smiled and stood up. “That’s right, doctor. I guess duty becomes a habit if you do it long enough.” The w ind screamed into the shop as D r. Price opened the door and went o u t It was a bleak, bitter day, but in M r. Dig­ gles’ heart it was suddenly sum­mer.

The iron curtain around the Kremlin is almost impenetrable, and all the speculation as to what the Molotov-Vishinsky shift means was nothing more than that—mere speculation. There was a time when the United States was able to get reasonably accurate inside-Krem- lin information rfom the Czechs and the Poles but since the Czech Communist purge and the tighten­ ing up in Poland, those sources have dried up. However, if past precedents are any criterion, the Russians will not take the north Atlantic pact lying down. They are more than likely to move—and may move in the opposite direction. That is behind feverish Amer­ ican plans to fortify Iran, also be­ hind U. S. Ambassador John Wiley’s frantic cables from Teher­ an , He seems convinced the Rus­ sia n s will move there next, “S.9.B.” User Rebuked The vice-president of the United States isn’t advertising it, but he once participated in a severe note of censure of a congressman who used the same S. O. B. initials re­ cently used by the President of the United States, The vote of censure was tak­ en against Rep. Thomas I>. Blanton, Democrat of Texas. Passed unanimously by the house of representatives when Aiben Barkley was a member, the resolution stated: “Whereas Thomas L. Blanton . . . inserted in the Congressional Record, a letter which was in­ decent, obscene, vulgar and vile;“Whereas the said Thomas L. Blanton . . . has offered an in­ dignity to the house and to the people represented by the mem­ bership in congress . . . for which he deserves the severest rebuke and drastic censure, therefore be it “Resolved that the speaker of the house is hereby directed to simimon him to the bar of the house and deliver to him its repri­ mand and censinre,” The obscene matter which Blan­ ton had inserted in the Record on Oct, 22, 1921, was a letter written by Millard French, an employee in the government printing office, addressed to George H, Carter, public printer. The letter con­ tained the abbreviation S, O. B. Narrowly Escaped Ouster Nevertheless, Blanton escaped being expelled from congress by only an eight-vote margin. A total of 293 congressmen voted to expel him. Among those in congress at the time were such close friends of President Truman as James F. Byrnes, later Tru­ man’s secretary of state; Tom ConnaUy of Texas, now chair­ man of the senate foreign rela­ tions committee; Speaker Sam Baybum, and Vice President Barkley. AU the above voted to expunge Blanton’s S, O. B. abbreviation from the record but none of the above opposed the resolution of censure, though they did not vote to expel. The attack against Blanton was led by the late Rep. Frank Mon- dell of Wyoming and' Nicholas Longworth, late speaker of the house, also now deceased. MondeU, urging that Blanton be expelled, said: “Anyone uttering in public anywhere the words placed in th» Congressional Record by the mem­ ber from Texas should be subject to fine and imprisonment. While we cannot repeat the words which form the basis of this charge, it can be said that they are unspeak­ ably foul, vile, filthy, profane, blasphemous, and obscene.” Alter the resolution of censure was voted, Blanton was called be­ fore the speaker’s rostrum, where Speaker Fred Gillet stated: “I have been directed to cen­ sure you because, when yon had been allowed by the cour­ tesy of the house to print a speech, you inserted in it foul and obscene matter . . , and that disgusting matter was transmitted as part of the pro­ ceedings of the house to thou­sands of homes and libraries throughout the country to be read by men and women, and, worst of all, by children. In ac­ cordance with the Instructions of the house and as its rep­ resentative, I pronounce upon you its censure." As Blanton left the floor of the '"house he collapsed in the corridor, struck liis head on the marble I floor and had to be assisted to his I office. Glass Blocks Offer Builder AdvantagesUse Features Practical Feeder Bam Planning This practical feeder barn, shown below, not only offers good venti­ lation, freedom from drafts, and abundant daylight, but is designed to cut maintenance costs as well.

Doors at either end provide venti- Dairy barn suitable for big or medium size farm operations. lation through the litter alley to re­ move odors. Ample roof vents dis­perse summer heat, aid the circu­ lation of air in winter as do louvres under the peak of the gabls. Control over ventilation has been carefully planned to eliminate creeping drafts. Sliding doors in­ sure a tight closure and the gen­ erous use of glass block panels minimizes drafts usually encoun­ tered with conventional windows. These panels are fitted with hinged sashes which are easily swung for ventilation. The glass blocks trans­mit an abundance of daylight. Even on cloudy days the barn is bright and cheerful. As a bam material, glass block offers many advantages. Of hollow construction with a partial vacuimi inside, the block has a high in­ sulation factor which can help main­tain heat of the bam in winter. This insulation value minimizes cold down drafts. Condensation and frosting are practically eliminated. An all-important advantage in these days of iiigh costs is the per­ manency of glass block panels. Set in mortar, the glass is impervious to weather and humidity, is un­harmed by chemical disinfectants often required to maintain daily sanitation. An occasional washdown with a hose is aU that is required to keep the panel surfaces spark­ ling clean. Painting is never re­ quired. . Maintenance is also reduced by the liberal use of other long-wearing materials. Walls are of cinder or concrete block, the floor of poured concrete, and the roof of either a good grade of galvanized steel sheet or aluminum. The floor plan has been developed for efficiency and functional use of space. Know Your Pesticides As every county agent will point out, it is profitable to the farmer to know how to choose and use pesticides properly. There are many well known and many relatively new chemicals for controlling pests. Their strong points and their weak points should be compared before making a choice.“It is important,” the agents em­ phasize, “to be familiar with your pest problems and to recognize and follow reliable recommendations rather than mere reports and sug­ gestions of untrained persons."Study the problems that may follow use of certain materials, such as residues and off-flavors. Consider timing of applications, dosagies, methods of removing residues, etc., as a means of overcoming sec­ ondary problems. Be sure products you buy comply with all regula­tions.“Accuracy of dosage is one of th* fundamentals in the use of medeia chemicals. Read labels and ac­companying directions carefully. Check Fire Equipment, Fanners Are Advised Farmers are urged by count; agents to check fire extinguishers to be certain they are approved. These warnings are based on re-' ports from Fire Protection Insti­tute, a national fire safety organi­ zation, that many “unapproved” extinguishers have been made available during the past few years. It was pointed ^ut that an unde­ pendable extinguisher is about as jseful as a counterfeit dollar.

SCRI^ _ __ DEVdTIOl 37.G : Mark 0:33- Range of Religion Lesson for April 10,1949 Dr. Foreman O NCE THERE WAS a farmer who owned a large farm. Its wide acreage was divided into pas- tiures and fields and a garden and orchards and hog- lots and chicken- yards and so on. But whenever any one would ask the farmer about some particular part of the farm, he would answer, “That’s not my b u s in e s s — that’s only the or­chard, it isn’t the farm;” or “—^That’s not the farm, that’s a flock of sheep,” or a rye field or whatever it might be. Of course such a farmer never lived, or it he did, he should have his head examined. What Does Religion Covet? y E T THAT FARMER is not a bit * more idiotic than a Christian who, when asked about this or that activity or aspect of life, answers, “That’s not reUgion. I have no in­ terest in it.” Religion isn’t a little fenced-off pasture for lambs, a tiny garden plot behind thick hedges. Religion covers the whole farm, every bit of life from end to end. Jesus knew this very weU. He never once refused to discuss anjrtliing on the ground that it was not religious. He cast light on everything that touched him. He caUed his foUowers the “Ught of the world,” Not flash-Ughts, shining in one narrow beam! Not flashlights, but lamps, set on a lampstand and “giving light to aU who are in the house.” The I.ight Of God K GOOD cross-section of Jesus’ “ methods and ideas can be seen in Mark 10, into wliich one chapter Mark packs his whole account of a number of weeks which Jesus spent in the region called Perea. Observe the variety of situations which con­ fronted Jesus. First there was a question about divorce. When they brought that question up to Jesus, he did not dodge it. He did not call it a personal matter in wliich he, as a teacher of re^gion, had no in­terest. He did not say it was strict­ ly a matter for the civil courts. You may read what he did say in Mark 10. You wiU not that first of all he brings God into liis answer. ReUgion And Little Children •PHIS CHAPTER includes the fa- * mous story of the little chUdren who were brought to Jesus—evident­ly quite small children, for Jesus lifted them into his arms. We do not here Jesus saying, “Children are too smaU for me to take any interest in them. Wait tUl they are older. What good can religion do these tiny tots?” On the contrary, Jesus not only blessed them, but held them up as, models for older people. Is your church following Jesus here? Is your, church interested in the little children as much as it is In the “paying” members? Or are the little ones shoved off into some damp comer of the church basement? In your state or province, do the Christian people take an interest in the chUdren? Do children in your section get as good attention as pure-bred cattle do?• • As Wide As Life' Th e n t h e r e w as a question about etemal life. Of course Jesus answered that one, it waa obviously a religious question. (Ex­ cept that he gave it what some people even today would consider a not very religious answer!) Jesus went on to talk about money and the effect it has on a man’s prospect of etemal life. Jesus would be the very last person to imagine that a man’s bank account has nothing to do with religion. Some people to this day don’t like to hear a preacb* er mention money in his sermons. Well, such people might have heen offended by Jesus, for he often preached about money and prop­erty. Then there was Uie question of ambition, the audacious re­ quest that lames and John made of him. He had some strong re­ marks to make about ttat. And flnaUy at Jericho, not long before Palm Stmday, there was the blind beggar Bartimaeus. Jesus did not say to him, “Health is no affair of mine. I cure souls, not bodies.'

A 'U iatt A Dangerous Tax There’s talk in Washington of a $4 billion tax increase. If Congress permits this new siphoning of in­ come and savings from the people Into the federal treasury, the re­sults can be dangerous for the whole nation. This is fact, regardless of whether or not the President and his administration would be cramped in spending a proposed $42 billion budget.Of course, like our Senator Mc­Clellan told homefolks recently: Mr. Truman’s program means that taxes can go only one way—up. up, up. Senator Fulbright, our other distinguished senator, tried to ease the misgivings of the economy- minded by pointing out that saving federal money and reducing taxes is a question of “what you are will­ ing to give up.” That is a problem, all right. Too many of us have the attitude of the well known politi­cian, who said he had never voted for a tax bill nor against an appro­priations bill. Justify SpendingIf we manage to fool ourselves into thinking the other fellow is go­ing to have to pay for the handouts, -we then show no enthusiasm about economy. Citizens and congress­ men alike, too often see economy as a fine thing when it’s not close to home, but work like mad for all the government "aid” they can get— for themselves.One thing is wrong with the ques­ tion our Senator asked about what we would give up. It puts the bur­ den of proof on the citizen who would economize! That proof be­longs elsewhere. Every bureaucrat who demands funds should explain and justify the expenditure of every . dollar!Wherein lies the danger to the na­ tion in'heavier taxes at this time? It is proposed that the burden of a $4 billion tax increase be placed UDon corporations and businesses. This might look to some like an easy way to shift the tax load onto somebody else. Actually, a tax that is shouldered by business is still borne by the people—because peo­ ple buy the products of corporations that are owTied by people. Don’t Kill IncentiveAt present the nation’s business corporations pay a 38 per cent tax on income. Earnings distributed to owners may get taxed up to 92 per cent. (Other taxes, also, are levied upon corporations.) Tremendous sums, therefore, are handed to Un­ cle Sam by industry. But right now, the nation's economists are agreed that America’s industry must have huge amounts of addi­ tional capital for growth and for expansion. There's danger, if in­ stead these billions mast be poured into Washington.Any industrial plant that is not able to spend mooey continually for expansion or for newer, better equipment is a corporation moving toward failure. An amount rough­ly equal to the President’s proposed budget of $42 billion is the least we ought to put this year into our in­dustrial plant. If America is to have the Industrial strength it should have, if jobs are to remain plenti­ ful, and it wages are to be high- then we had better have a care about penalizing our industry. America can lose out by exacting too much "take” from business. Unless industry is allowed to ex­pand, modernize, and meet today’s needs, there’ll be nothing at all to tax one of these days. T^en taxes take what would be invested, and when incentive to invest is killed— the country will go into reverse. An­ other $4 billion in taxes on corpora­tions would be most unwise.

Cook Pork Thoroughly Out of every 100 hogs that go to market, at least one of them is capable of causing trichinosis among meat consumers, declares the American Veterinary Medical association. Thorough cooking of pork is the only home safeguard against this serious disease, since cooking destroys the worm para­sites which cause it. Intestinal ir­ritation, muscular pain, and fever are typical symptoms, although some people become infected witti- out showing definite sjrmptoms. Pet animals also are susceptible to trichinosis, the AVMA says, and therefore should not be fed un­cooked pork. FINE V^ATCH REPAIRING YOUR WATCH IS A PRECIOUS INSTRUMENT.

SiaOULD NOW ERADICATE RABIESModem vaccination for rabies is 95 per cent effective. Federal agen­cies and many st.?tes have funds and authority to fight this treacherous disease. And everyone agrees on how to control it.So, there is no excuse for aUowing the dread virus of rabies to go on striking down 8,000 to 10,000 animals and persons each year in this coun­try. Rabies can be eradicated here— just as it has been in England, Nor­way and Sweden.People usually think of rabies as a “mad dog” disease — esp'ecially common in stray dogs. But it is more than that. Actually, all warm­blooded animals can and do have rabies. Nearly 1,000 head of farm livestock were among the 9,000 re­ported victims In 194T. Most cases are traced to bites from dogs, but rabid sqvdrrels, skunks, foxes and other animals are responsible for many outbreaks.Rabies is tricky, too, because the symptoms vary in different cases. Fierce dogs may become docile, quiet dogs may become aggressive, before they go into the “mad” stage. Rabid cows and horses become wild and excitable, with a tendency to bite and Uck or bunt at moving objects. In the final stage, any animal or per­son dying of rabies goes into a state of collapse and paralysis.What to do about it? If rabiss is suspected in a dog or other animal, call the veterinarian at once. The case m”st be reported. All shaded states reported rabies case« in 1947. But the real answer is prevention —and widespread preventive meas­ures can eradicate rabies and end this threat to the animal and human populations. Annual vaccination of dogs, coupled with strict control of dogs In rabies areas, is the answer. All dog owners should co-oparatc with veterinarians and other author­ities in every effort to stamp out this deadly disease. IIYESXOCK HEALTH ODDITIES HORN FLIES TOOK OVER 312 AS'ASANY a s 1000 Bors.

The beaver is the world’s first engi­ neer, and as such, its industrial traits are valuable to man and beast. For their value as engineers, beavers often are carried to' locali­ ties where their kind once lived but disappeared. They are captured in large' basket-like traps and trans­ported to depleted lands wher^ beaver dams are needed. No sooner than given a new job—and ttiey like a new undertaking — these ^arp- toothed workers start gnawing down trees for dam building material. When spring rains swell the streams their dams prevent the washing away of valuable topsoil, preserve timber supply and aid in beautifying the landscant.

May Black Measure Washington — Southern Demo, oratic leaders claim they can must er a majority in the House to block the Administration’s drive for re­ peal of the Taft-HaitJy Art. “ We can lick them by alxint 20 votes all along the line,” a top Dixie legislotor said. He asked that his name be withheld becaiisf we are still foemulating our strat­ egy.” The Southern Democrats renor'. edly were ready to th ow the-f stieniEtb behind a hill drawn up by Representative John S. Wood (D-Ga) It woutd keep the Taft- Hartly Act on the .st tute books With a few reUtive<> minor a< mendmeuts. The Southern Dcmocrrts believe they can revive their old coalition with the Republicans on the basis o» the Wood bill. If the two groups stand solidly together they have the strength to determine the course of Hourse labor legislasion. Administration leaders scoffed at the Soutern claims ol a majority gainst Taft.Hartley ereal But thev conceded that tbeir own bill is almost certain to carry manv Taft- Hartley provisions when debate is concluded. The Administration’s bill is now before the House Rules Committee. It would repeal thj Tafi-Hait'ey iaw and re-enact the old Wagner Act with amendmants to rrstMct jurisdictional strikes that thie-.ten the public health and safety. Some Sonthern Democrats said it is possible the House may never even vote on the Administration’s bill. They based this statement on the expectation that the Rules Committee will write a trick rule for the measure. Mistaken Identity rVRAMA Critic Alexander WooD- " cott was emerging from a theater one night when a stranger approached him and SEiid:“Hello, Mr. Hammond, I’m de­lighted to meet you. . I’ve been wanting to tell you for years-that I think your drama reviews are the best I’ve ever read."The man grasped WooIIcott’s hand and shook it effusively."This is a great pleasure, Mr. Hammond,” he told the dazed critic.A friend of Woollcott, who had witnessed the scene, walked up to liim after the stranger had depart­ed."Can you imagine that!” said the friend. "The poor guy doesn’t even iaiow that Percy Hammond is dead!”"I can forgive that,” sighed Woollcott. "What hurts is that he doesn't know I’m alivel” NOBODY’S PERFECT! The male half of a new dance team was pleading with a pro­ducer."You never saw anything so sen­sational,” the dancer raved. “At the ilnish of our act I take my partner by the hair and whirl her aroutad for exactly 20 spins. Then I wind up the whole tiling by heav­ing her tiirough an open window.” The producer paled."Heave her through an open window?” he repeated incredu- louky. “Do you do that at every performance?”The young man shrugged. “Nobody’s perfect,” he admit­ted. “Sometimes I miss!" Request for More Arriving at the river, a fisherman discovered that he had lost the worms he had dug for bait.For a half hour he searched for worms, but with no luck. About to give up and go home, he came upon a snake which was trying to swallow a frog. He decided that the frog would make good bait if he could get hold of it. The snake refused to he robbed of its dinner, however, so the fisherman decided to persuade him by pouring a few drops of brandy into the side of the reptile’s mouth. The snake dropped the frog, and the man returned with it to his fisliing site.After fishing for a short time, he felt something nudging him. He turned aroimd, and there was the snake looidng up at him with another frog in its mouth.

"It was the geraniums I promised my wife to water while •he was away.” Collect Eggs Frequenflyi Poultryman Urges Farmers Quality of eggs depends^ greatly on how quickly they are cooled after they are laid, reports J. M. Moore, extension poultryman at Mici^gan state college.He points out that consumer in­terest in eggs centers on quality. USDA poultry specialists estimate that 5 eggs out of each 100 pro­duced become unfit for food as a result of quality deterioration or other causes. This 5 per cent loss has taken an annual t(^ of more fiian 233 million dozen eggs in the past five years.Farmers are urged to collect eggs from nests at least three times each day—10 a. m., noon, and 5 p. m. Less frequent collec­tion not only delays proper cooling of the eggs but also results in a partly cooled egg being left hi a nest to be re-warmed by other hens using the same nest. In very hot weather, eggs should be gath­ered every two hours in the morn­ing and twice in the afternoon.Eggs should be collected in wire backets which permit the free cir- ddation of air around every egg. This is impossible when pails, boxes, or woven baskets are used. They should be placed on a wire tray and put in the cellar imme­diately after collecting. Because eggs absorb odors quickly they should not be kept in places where there are strcmg odois such as those of onions, lemona, kerosene, or mustinesE.Eggs should -be fully cooled be­fore they are placed in egg cases since there is not sufficient air cir­culation in cases to allow eggs to cool properly, Moore concludes. Food Specialist Sives Tips On Cooking for Large Crowd Chairmen of church suppers or inridge dub dinners will find these tips on how to go about cooking for a crowd of considerable value.Miss Frances Cook, foods and nutrition specialist at the Univer­sity of Illinois college of agricid- ture, advises you to look the situa­tion over before choosing a menu.Start by looking over tiie kitchen facilities. How is the equipment? It may be that the refrigerator space is limited. Then don’t have a gelatin salad or a refrigerator dessert. If there is only one oven, plan to do baking and roasting ahead of time.When ready to select the menu, perhaps the best bet is a simple meal with just a few courses. A menu suggested by Miss Cook is: meat bal’s with tomato sauce, baked potatoes, buttered peas, and Waldorf salad. For dessert, you might have chocolate pie.Once the menu has been decided upon, list the foods needed and the amount it will take.. Then out­line a working schedule—when to buy groceries, when to begui fix­ing the food. Tobacco Is Exacting FeederExperiments with fertilizer tor tobacco show that tills crop is one of the most exacting of all plants. For most crops, says the TJ. S. department of agriculture, the type of machine that places the band of fertilizer at one side of the row gives results just as satisfactory as from a band on each side. But with tobacco of most types, says J. E. McMurtrey Jr., of the bureau of plant industry, soils, and agri­cultural engineering, recent re­search work shows that a one-side application “frequently produces one-sided growtii eifects.” Some chlorine produces desiralde re­sponses with certain tobacco types, but it is extremely easy to supply too much) which will reduce'the fire holding quality of the leaf grades used for cigar, cigarette and smok­ing tobacco. As little as twenty pounds to the acre may be enough on some soils where flue cured tobacco is grown but. should be held to a minimum with cigar, burley and Maryland types. Caves Saved Thousands Two of the world’s most heavily bombed spots, the English channel port of Dover and the British Med­iterranean isle of Malta, made life-savers of old catacombs. Many children sheltered beneath the white cliffs of Dover rememiiered no other home. In Malta’s network of under - rock corridors, dating from crusaders’ times, the island­ers found protection for their lives, their planes, and meager supplies of food, notes the National Geo­graphic society. Athens hid price­less statuary from the Acropolis in near-by caves on the side of the “Prison of Socrates.” An art gal­lery of old Dutch masters was carefully preserved in a cavern formed by a sandstone quarry near Maastricht. - Our County And Social Security Bt Mrs. Ruth G. Dufiv, Manager. On Monday, Match 30th, we had a birthday—the I2th anniver­ sary of the openiug of our office. Like many of you^ we have had the same home for all these 12 vears—which is 437 Nissen BIdg., Winston-Salem. We had no birthday cake with 12 cmdles; no invited guests bringing ptesenB. So different from the way each one of us celebrated our own 12th birthday years ago. But we were not disappointed that no party was had with all Its accompanyin gaity. Why this change in atti­ tude of individuals? It is because our sense of values change as the years come and go bringing wis­ dom with experience. We come to realize diat true happiness comes from service and the satis* faction of doing our jobs to the best of our ability. So, March 30th was just a typi­ cal day in our office—serving our many callers by issuing account number cards to those getting one for the first time, explaining what it is, what to do with it, and why it’s so important: by issuing du plicate account number cards to those who had lost theirs, sug­ gesting how to take care of them; by taking applications from those 65 or over for monthly benefits to which thev are entitled because they have worked a sufficient length of time; by taking applica­ tions from survivors who are due benefits because the breadwinner of die family has died; and by an­ swering questions of many seek­ ing information not only about Old Age Survivors Insurance but other programs under the Social Security Act. Yes, our 12th anniversary was just another day and representa­ tive of what each day will be dur­ ing 1949 and years to come. Per­ haps, some of us now living in the home of the Old-Age and Sur­ vivors Insurance will go elsewhere before another anniversary, but just as your home represents more than a building of wood, brick, or mortar in which people come and go, so the home of Old-Age and Survivers Insurance means more thau four walls where we spend 8 hours of each day. It is a place where service to the public will be given long after its present oc­ cupants have gonThis is be cause die program administered was designed to help persons meet certain hazard common to all and over which they have litde or no control.

This will help to “lower” the ceil- ihg, especially if a darker tint than or^arily is used for ceilings is used. Another way is to graduate the tinting of the wall by painting the lower third a d^k color, the next tbird a lighter and the upper third of the wall an extremely light tint of the same color, with a narrow molding, or a thin line of metallic or bright colored paint for contrast, at the ceiling line. aave Cabbage Leaves There are savmg ways to use outer leaves of cabbage that so often grt thrown away. They can be saved and even used in cooked cabbage dishes or cole slaw if you treat them right.

New President Alonzo C. Edwards, Hookerton, the newly-elected president of the North Carolina Farm Bureau pre­ sent witn a membership of more dian 78,000 farm families, is a suc­ cessful farmer, operating . a 1,200 acre farm in his native Greene Ciyunty. Edwards purchased his first farm back in 1925 and two of his origi­ nal tenants are still farming with with him. The 30 tenants who live on the Edwards’ farm are not bothered with the yearly “mmoving prob­ lem,” because the Farm Bureau President encourages each tenant to build a financial nest-egg for the future by practicing a live-at-home program. This program consists of home gardens, a milch cow per family and the production of suf­ ficient feed crops for livestock. I have always found it an ad- vantange to keep the folks work­ ing with me happy and satisfied,” Edward says. Several of the farm­ ers who have tended his land now own their ow>. farms because of the thrifty farm plan that Edwards outlines with them. Active in Farm Bureau work for many years and particularly so in the past two as its vice-president and chairman of the state mem­ bership drive, Edwards says thaf membership in the organization is not a requirement for his tenants. Instead, he points out the advan- tagec of strong farm organization, and his tenants become members of Farm Burea only when they understsnd its objectives and de­ sire to join. So that the men working on his farm may leam first-hand the ac- ^ complishments of the organiza­ tion, Edwards has financed trips for two of them to two National Farm Bureau Canventions. As President of Farm Bureau, Edwards, with the aid of the members, intends to continue the , same sound and constructive poli- ‘cies the organization has so suc­ cessfully built on and which have proved a definite benefit to all ru­ ral people and the over all eco­ nomy of North Carolina. Edwards has served five sessions in the State Assembly and is the present chairman of the House Education Committee. He is a member of the State SCS Board of Supervisors; and a former mem­ ber of the Greene County Triple- A Committee. He is one of the organizers of Tobacco Associates. Inc., and the Flue-Cured Tobacco Cooperative Stabilization Corporation Active in various civic better­ment programs and organizations, he is a Mason and an active mem­ ber of the Methodist Church. He is married to the former Bettie Hardy Taylor o f Hookertoon. They have one son. 1 THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. -------------WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS------- Traman Ignores Program Setback, Insists Congress Is Cooperating; Approval Seen for Vets’ Pension Explains Pact (E D IIO E ’S NOTE: W hen opinions are expressed In Uiese colnmns, they are those Western Newspaper Union’s news analyst ana not neces^arfly of this newspaper.) PRESIDENCY: 'Say It Isn't So' Was President Truman emu­ lating the ostrich with the old “head in the sand” technique, or mas he naive enough to believe what he was saying?This seemed a fair question when Mr. Truman, despite multiple set­ backs in congress for his legisla­ tive program, declared he and the tongress were cooperating and that only “troublemakers” talked of bad feelings between them. • MR. TRUMAN had suffered three major setbacks in attempting to have his campaign pledges en­acted into law. He had been blocked on rent controls, appoint­ ment of Mon C. Walgren as a key figure in the national defense set­ up, and civil rights proposals. But, the President shook off these reverses by ignoring them in ft speech to the United States con­ ference of mayors in Washington.Instead, he told the mayors: “Of course I differ with the congress on some points and where these differences are important I thall continue to urge the course I think is right.“BUT, BASICALLY, the congress and the President are working to­ gether and wiU continue to work together for the good of the whole country. We are going to agree on a lot more things than we disagree on.” Many observers took the view that the President’s remarks in­ dicated adoption of new strategy in dealing with congress—that an attitude of “soft words” might be held more advisable than angry denunciations of the lawmakers. PENSIONS: Who Pays? It was beginning to appear that a veteran’s pension bill in some form would be enacted by the 81st congress. Prodded by Rep. John Rankin (D., Miss.), of the house veteran’s affairs committee, the measure under consideration would give veterans of World Wars I andII automatic pensions of $90 a month at age 65. Budget bureau experts contend this would cost the nation upwards of 125 billion dol­ lars over the next 50 years. WHO WOULD PAY the cost of the pensions? American taxpayers, of course, and among these would be all the veterans who might some day receive the bonus. As one young war veteran put it, “By the time I reached 65, I would have gone broke trying to pay taxes to grant me a pension.” That’s the viewpoint of some veterans. There are many others who honestly feel they are entitled to a pension and would readily accept an “Installment” tax pay­ ment period between their present age and age 65 in order to get the pension.SOME OPPONENTS of the pen­ sion measure favored restricting pensions only to veterans of World War I, but it was obvious no such proposal as this would be enacted.There were too.many World War II veterans who would oppose that simply on the principle of discrimi­nation, no matter how they might feel basically about the pension proposal.On the first test of the measure. It was almost lost, but swift par­liamentary maneuvering saved it from being returned to committee where it might have died a natural death. DRAFT: Easing Off Military draft eligibles could re­ lax — Maj. Gen. John E. Dahl- quist, army personnel chief, said no more men wiU be inducted into the army before July, 1950; and that’s vihen the present peacetime draft act expires. SO, IT SEEMED that the peace­ time draft was virtually over, ex­cept for the possibility of enact­ ment of a new act or extension by congress of the present law. However, the national defense es­ tablishment hastened to state that General Dahlquist was giving only his opinion — that no draft policy has been laid down, and that no one knows what the future holds. IT WAS REGARDED as signifi­ cant tSat there have been no induc­tions under the present law since the end of January because volun­tary enlistments have filled quotas, and army officials have said that budget reductions forced them to cut their proposed strength. INSIDE 'SHORT' STORY Dean Acheson, secretary of state, explains north Atlantic pact at special press conference at the state department. PACT: Reds Burn The Kremlin and its satellites were literally burned up over the north Atlantic treaty alliance. To the Russians the pact was a “deceptive instrument o f w a r aimed against them. • THE CONTROLLED Russian press and radio joined in the clamor, branding the pact as the work of war-mongers trying to wreck the United Nations.The general theme was that the alliance was the “main weapon of the aggressive policy of the ruling circles of the United States. Brit ain and France. The Russian stew was under­standable. By this diplomatic coup western powers had managed to abate somewhat the legend of So­ viet invincibility among the smaller countries and at the same time to serve notice on the Russians that any further violence or aggression within the pact area would mean war. THE TERMS OF the pact do not actually say that: but they say something which is the same. That is that pact nations shaU construe an attack on any member as an attack upon them all, and even the dumbest Muscovite could under­ stand what that meant. The treaty, however, was not without its cries at home. John Foster Dulles, slated to be secre­ tary of state had Dewey nabbed the presidency, was anything but enthusiastic about the alliance. In fact, Dulles observations on the subject were such as to raise the ire of Dean Acheson, secretary of state, who charged that DuUes was put out because he, Dulles, couldn’t get over Dewey’s defeat, and how he might have been secretary of state himself but for that. RENT CURBS: Outlook Dim Overriding administration recom­mendations, the senate voted to let town and city governments abolish rent controls in their areas—if the state governors approve. THERE WERE MANY who would discern instantly the political im­ plication inherent in such a move. In states where governors are per­ mitted under law to succeed them­ selves—and even in states which do not permit this—governors are usually concerned with .re-election or with naming their successors. Abolition of rent control power could be used as a potent weapon with which to beat recalcitrant voters into line. As anyone familiar with legisla­ tive processes knows, organiza­ tions are always the most power­ful and effective lobbyists. Land­ lords have a national organization which already has been vociferously vocal at Washington. There has been no organization of renters and tenants, not even at the state or county level. Those who are heard in law-making assembUes are those who are organized and who know how to obtain hearings. And these organizations usually manage to do rather well for themselves. IN WHATEVER FORM the biU finally emerges from the senate, It must go to a conference committed in order to iron out differences be­tween house and senate versions. States righters would herald the local option features of the control bill with elation and landlord groups would find it easier to attempt legislative pressure in their own back yards. 'Boss" Censored President's Swim Photos Whatever else the incident of the censorship of pictures showing Harry S. Truman swimming in Florida may have done, it put him solid with most American males whose choice of pastime is so fre­ quently influenced by the distaff side at home. For, at least, the secret of the' confiscated photographs was out— and the gentleman who broke the “inside story” was none other than Mr. Truman himself. It wasn’t censorship at all, the President said, which caused presi­dential party attacWs to seize photos taken of Mr. Truman while he was swimming. It was just that Mrs. Bess Truman doesn’t want her husband traipsin’ around clad only in bathing trunks, and Harry S. Truman jolly well knows it. MEMORY: Ours Is Short i To many who had «ptrienM d the horrors of war and who had met German foemen in battle, i American policy in Germany was almost maddening. Official ap- 'proval of selection of a group of ex- Nazis to manage the Ruhr—Ger­ many’s greatest war-making poten­ tial—was bringing cries of protest from all over ttie nation. The grasp of the ex-Hitleritea was reaching farther and farther into Germany’s vital affairs and the optimism of the group lhat their desires would be fulfilled was sig­nificant. Latest manifestation of the trend was a statement by Hans Thomsen, who was the Nazis’ last charge d’af­faires in Washington, that he and jther veteran Hitler diplomats ex­ pected to resume their careers in the “new Germany.” There was no lack of cockiness in Thomsen’s stand. Said he: “The new German government cannot get along without the old Wilhelm- strasse men—who know their busi­ness.” He is now in the banking business in Hamburg. The old pattern was becoming Increasingly clear. Smart diplo­ mats, seeking a rampart against communism, were using this same objective to re-create Germany as a European power—a buffer against the Reds. SWALLOWS: Unfailing Legend The old, old legend was unfailing. Always the swallows had come back to Capistrano, and this time they came again. THE LEGEND was fulfilled to the day. Through the long,' lazy centuries tha' ihe birds have al­ ways been coii.yjg back to San Juan Capistrano, thtf;'> returij has always been on the same day each year— St. Joseph’s day. And this year tnere was no devia­ tion. On St. Joseph’s day the birds came sweeping back at dawn to fly into their homes under the eaves of the historic old mission. “They do not come in huge swarms a? some reports have it.” an old padre said. “Instead they arrive in small contingents, 50 to 75 at a time.” Father Hutchinson, pastor, said that the birds usually leave in July after their young can fly. They travel to nearby canyons to feed where msects are plentiful, he in­dicated. BOGEY MAN: Solons Defiant Figuratively thumbing its collec­tive nose at the “big man” the United States senate by a vote of 50 to H confirmed the appointment of Dr. James Boyd as director of the federal bureau of mines. THE “BIG MAN” was John L. Lewis, leader of the United Mine Workers of America, and he wanted no part of Dr. Boyd in the federal mine regulation setup. The senate action came while Lewis had the pressure on. Lewis’ miners were in the second week of a 14-day shutdown ordered by Lewis who termed the stoppage a ■'memorial” to miners killed and injured last year. Chief speculation concerned the import of the senate action. Did it mean that government, finally, was ready to clamp down on the dictatorial Lewis and abolish his power as a continuing threat to American industry? It could mean that, if Lewis’ mine stoppage resulted in a re­ versal of labor sentiment among some members of congress and a really “get-tough” labor law were to be enacted.What Next? Coal operators and coal con- smners were wondering what would be the next move in John L. Lewis’ campaign strategy. Lewis, above, had called the miners out in a two-week stop*' page which he described as a “memorial” to miners killed and iuirt in 1948. M IR R O R of your M I N D • • • By Lawrence Gould Gambling Is Self Destruction Do people who gamble always hope to win? Answer; The average person who takes an occasional “flier” may only be trying to forget life’s harsh rule that you do not get something for nothing. But psychiatrists say the “neurotic gambler”—^the chap who will play the horses or shoot dice with his employer’s money even though he knows there’s bet­ter than an even chance that he wiU be disgraced and ruined—^is uncon­ sciously the victim of a secret urge to self-destruction. It is this that will not let him quit when he’s ahead but makes him go on tiU he’s ■'cleaned out.” Can you give yourself “shock treatments”? Answer; Literally, no. As I have said before, such treatments must be given by a physician. But a correspondent notes the interesting fact that now and then, when she is deeply depressed, she will laicon- sciously get herself into trouble or danger (she once “accidentally” set her house on fire, for instance) and fee jolted back to a more nor­ mal frame of mind. Like “insan­ity,” depression often represents a wish to punish yourself for some real or imagined offense, and al­most any kind of shock may serve this purpose for the moment. Did war tragedies warp children’s mind? Answer: Yes, reports a Swiss psy­ chiatrist who treated child refugees in Warsaw, Poland. Children who had been driven from their toDmea and in many cases seen their par­ents sent to the gas chamber be­ came smart in some ways, but de­veloped the belief that nothing is important but self-preservation and that only fools try to be kind or honest. This “false image of real­ity” (which for so long was true as far as their experience went) is hard to erase and makes it difScuIt to teach them to adapt themselves to normal living. LOOKING AT RELIGION By DON MOORE K E E P IN G H E A L T H Y Treating Ailments of Old Age By Dr. James W. Barton 'T'HERE .are so many elderly men and women today that many large houses, once so hard to sell, now are. being sought by registered nurses or practical nurses and es­tablished as “rest homes” for el­ derly people and invalids. Some of these larger rest homes not only have a graduate nurse living on the premises, but also a physician calls once a day.. This specialty, geriatrics, is the natural res^t of the length­ening of the life span. As we grow older, we may not develop any special disease or diseases, hut there, is naturally a gradual loss of strength, and so symp­toms and also diseases often come with age. We have been thinking of this new specialty mostly in terms of treat­ing diseases of old age. Dr. C. Ward Crampton, however, states that geri­ atrics is concerned less Mth treat­ ing the iUs of those already old than with preventing, postponing and eas­ ing the aging processes and guar­ anteeing one a vigorous old age. In order to learn the exact physi­ cal, mental .and emotional condi­tion of the elderly, a thorough or complete examination is giveii, di­ vided into three parts: First comes the “data gathering” visit, or “pUot” examination, in a search for any “aging” tissue or process. At the second visit, as the phy­ sician has studied the whole sit­uation—blood pressure, strength of heart, urine, blood—he now prescribes a program of living —and any medicine that may give energy or slow up aging processes. At the third visit, two or three weeks later, the results of the health program are checked and a fuU health program for six months or year given.This study and examination of the elderly man or woman to leam what he or she needs, and then prescrib­ ing the necessary health progran^ is good common sense. In Champaign, HI., Carl Fletcher, 23, was so irked at finding nothing worth stealing after housebreaking that he called police and reported his own burglary. Fletcher broke into a filling sta­ tion, then telephoned the sheriff and police to “come get” him. He waited for them'and unlocked the door to let them in. “I just got mad,” he said, “at finding noting worth taking.” HEALTH NOTES Twenty-five out of every hundred people who have blood in their urine have been found to have cancer somewhere in the kidney, bladder or other part of the urinary tract. Do not think that when such bleeding stops, the progress of the underly­ ing cause also stops, for we know now that once cancer starts, it pro­ gresses till death occurs unless treat­ment Is begun immediately. In New Jersey at the present time there are now in progress five dif­ferent studies on vision in various in- dustries. By these studies much valu­able material is being collected foi the purpose of improving our present knowledge of vision of industrial workers. This will mean more and better production and at the same time conserving the vision of the in­dustrial worker. ' Bluehids for Color T OOKING for a bluebird?

And his work load was increased by the fact that many Democratic members of the house foreign af­fairs committee brazenly loafed on the job, leaving most of the work to Sol and the Republicans. While the II Republican membe^ of the committee usually are pres­ ent, sometimes as few as three Democrats have turned up. This once caused conscientious Con­gressman John Kee of West Vir­ ginia to remark, “maybe what we need is a police force to get our colleagues to attend meetings.” So far statesmanlike Congress­ man Charles Eaton of New Jersey, leader of the Republi­cans, hasn’t taken advantage of this. But he could easily turn the tables on the Demo­ crats and put the Republicans in the position of running American foreign policy. As a result of the first act of new Democratic Chairman John Kee, when he took over following Sol Bloom’s death, was to warn Demo­ cratic congressmen it was time for them to quit plaj’ing Iiookey. Note—Sometimes it has even been necessary to telegraph Demo­ crat Joseph L. Pfeifer of Brooklyn at his home to insure his attendance for committee votes. • Servant of Brotherhood ^^^len Forrest Warren, now on the San Diego Journal, was a re­porter on the Atchison (Kas.) Globe, he lost his wife under the wheels of a train. Perhaps that tragedy had something to do with causing Warren to spend much of his time since then listening to the sorrows of others and doing some­ thing about them. At any rate, Warren has become a tireless worker for his fellow men. He has organized a revolving ivheel-chair service in which there are more than 600 wheel chairs and many walkers for polio victims. He originated tlie San Diego shoe fund, collecting $40,000 and more than 100,000 pairs of shoes that v/ere re­paired and given to needy children. At Christmas time Warren con­ ducts a Santa-helper program by which 4,000 men, women and chil­ dren are cheered with holiday pres­ ents. He has collected money to buy books projected on the ceiling via films so that flat-on-the-back patients may read pages on the ceiling above their beds. Warren, now 71 years old, does aU this in addition to his regular work on the San Diego Journal. He is a real servant of brotherhood. Plumps for Feron No newspaper in the U.S.A. has fought Harry Truman more vit- riolically, vehemently and vigor­ ously than the Chicago Tribune. These attacks have also been cen­ tered on Truman’s military aide, Gen. Harry Vaughan. Neverthe­ less, Tribune publisher Colonel Mc­ Cormick now has found something in common with Harry Truman and Harry Vaughan. He is an admirer of dictator Peron of Argentina. Col. McCormick has been trav­ eling through Latin America spending an average of 30 hours in each of four capitals — but spent more time in Buenos Aires where President Peron pinned a medal on his breast—the same kind of medal given to General Vaughan. After lunching with Peron, Mc­ Cormick informed the press that he and the dictator were in com­plete accord on western hemi­ sphere affairs. Other things about the Colo­ nel’s trip were interesting. One was the way American ambas­ sadors kowtowed to McCormick, giving the impression that the publisher’s views were sym­ pathetically received in Wash­ington. ^Vhere he stopped McCormick was wined and dined by the U.S. envoy, with top government officials of each country invited. Another interesting fact was Mc­ Cormick’s rabid attitude toward Europe which became so violent­ly manifest that even his own in­ terpreter toned down his remarks. Drooping Merchant Marine Democratic Sen. Warren Magnu- son has informed Presidential As­ sistant John Steelman that he will do some tough talking on the sen­ ate floor if the White House doesn’t wake up to the plight ot our mer­chant marine. It’s time we realized that tBe American flag is going off the seas, declared Magnuson. Our private commercial siiippers have fewer vessels in service than the approxi­mate 360-vessel seagoing fleet of the army. Furthermore, 95 per cent of our relief shipments to Denmark and 60 per cent of our shipments to England are being carried in foreign bottoms. As a result, declared Magnuson, about 48,000 U.S. merchant seamen have been beached in the last seven months. WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS MOST ... Boola Boola Boys Battle Bicarb Business ...

Peck had JOAN FONTAINE fought off requests to play Abra­ ham Lincoln, saying he was a cinch to be typed as Lincoln and wanted to postpone it — but could not refuse the role, in “The Prairie Years,” with Engelbach directing. "Tactful but forceful direction” — that’s what they say they get from him. Hollywood has toed two of “The Guiding Light” cast into its fold. Willard Waterman, “Ray Bran­ don,” starts work as Bing Crosby’s s tu ^ brother-in-law in “Riding High,” and Betty Gerson, the fe­ male lead, wiU have a leading role In a picture at Republic that’s un­ named so far. This wiB be Miss Gerson’s first film venture, so here’s luck to her. The new “March of Time” may give you a lot of Ideas, if you don’t know where to spend your next va­ cation. Or it may show you a place you’ve already enjoyed. The film shows a cross-section of American holidays — cruise ships, big and little hotels, camping trips, dude ranches. Americans spend some 11 biUion dollars on vacations; here is how they do it. Kid Chissell, one of the ex­ prizefighters in RKO’s “The Set- Up,” used to work out in a Cleve­land gym in 1925 with an amateur fighter named Paclq? East. Then Pacicy took the long count, gave up fighting, and Chissell didn’t Imow what had become of him. Didn’t see East until some years later, in Hollywood. Packy had won quite a reputation there as Bob Hope. T he Fiction C orner MAGIC MONTH By D Y E R W IL S O N He le n a n d A N D Y weren’t laughing. They were sitting in metal chairs which were placed at right angles to each other, instead of side by side cn the glider, and the glow in their eyes was replaced by anger. “The trouble is you have no am­ bition!” Helen was saying as her wide set gray eyes flashed signals, “You act lazy!” The long curls were given a toss as she got to her3•Minute feet.Fieiion ^ndy got up too., risiion jjg jjgj. o ne sided smile he’d brought home from war with him and shrugged his heavy shoul­ders. Andy had blond curls, too— tight to his well shaped bead and the merriest of hazel eyes. “You can say that again,” he told Helen, “I act lazy, do 17” He thought: WeU, that’s that and I’ll re-enlist and get as far from Hyville as pos­sible. When he got home the radio was playing jive and he woimd one leg over the other and sat in the big green chair beside it. His mother came into the room and said, “aren’t you going to look for a job today, son?” ' As he worried for an answer the annoimcer interrupted the program to tell about a soap contest. “Five hundred dollars for first prize,” he said, “just tell in twenty-five words why you like Sudzy-Soap best!” "I’m trying to think up an entry for the contest. Mom,” said Andy directing his hazel eyes up and grinning like an imp, “only I’U have to have the wrappers from three bars of the darned soap.” Andy Tyson tried not to under­ stand that she inferred he had wasted too many afternoons. He made great work of wording his en­ try and addressed the'envelope for mailing. Habit toined his steps into the comer store where the fellows laughed and teased him about his entry. Half angry again he hniried out of the place and' tossed the letter into the near- In the three weeks that went by he didn’t go near Helen nor did he look for a job. One day slipped into the next and a laxness seemed to hold him tight. He was marking time and getting more dissatisfied with every passing hour. •PHE NIGHT, a day later, when he ^ got home to find excitement In the very air and Mom holding out a telegram he ripped it open and nearly passed out. SUDZY-SOAP IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE YOU WINNER OF FIRST PRIZE. STOP. LISTEN TO USUAL SATURDAY PROGRAM. STOP. CONGRATU­ LATIONS. Next day Andy got a job. It was really easy. He felt so good — so proud of himself and ready for any­ thing that came along he just went right after the mechanics job he saw advertised in the moming paper. Saturday night the whole family gathered for the radio program telling of the contest and the win­ ners. “But I didn’t win,” Andy said helplessly when the program was over, “they didn’t mention my name and that Robert Am­ herst won the five hundred dol­lars." The door bell interrupted Andy and when the messenger boy gave him a telegram he glanced at it and ripped it open. “HOW DID IT FEEL TO BE A PRIZE WINNER FOR A FEW DAYS? STOP. THE BOYS. Andy was half way out the door when Helen caught up with him, “where you going?” she asked. “I’ll bust those guys In the nose,” Andy cried, “of all the dirfr, low down tricks.” Helen laughed as die read the telegram. Tears rolled down her lovely cheeks and still she laughed. Andy couldn’t help laughing with' her. “If they hadn’t done it we’d sUll be angry with each other,” she pointed out, “and you wouldn’t have your job—and we wouldn’t be plan­ ning on getting married.” ACROSS 1 Front ot a boat5 Snow shoe! 9 Thick cord10 Penitential season11 Muffled 12 Become liable to14 Chief god (BabyL)15 Having a handle (var.)IS Kingdom,NW Europe 19 Tantalum (sym.) 20 Mysteriouf21 Obnoxious plant 23 Fascinate 25 Endures26 Absorbed, ar in thought27 Fly aloft2S Mulberry 29 Raged32 aay-like 85 Hewing toolSS Mohamme­dan bible37--An toinette39 Cains 40 Covers with ink41 Alcoholic drink (Orient)42 Register DOWN 1A dried plum2 Large round rooms3 Open (poet.)4 Marry SslBtlon In Next Ira n . i Ip» II i % %%%P1 m 5 Lurk6 Knows (Scot)7 Indian (Peru)8 Speak stum- blingly 11 Insane 13 Peruses 15 Chest17 A market ' 18 Fortify 21 To tire 22IdentiBcationmarks23 Clatter24 SUght depressions25 Exclamation used to frighten No. 29 27 Pig pen29 Meaning30 Live31 Scotch river 33 Melody 34PuU371/1000 of an inch 38 Keel-billed cuckoo A n u w u «• Foide Hambn n m aaa ucauE] QQGiQ s a a s a a a a a H anaQ 133 □□B n a n S 9 Q D lilQ a QEl □ OQ ISQQ Qia BaaQ □□□ □ na a a a h b a a a a a HQaHB □asia BQizja ui[3aB a n a s Series K—48 C L A S S I F I E D DEPARTMENT BUSINESS & INVEST.

He once said, ‘‘Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.” W ith the farmer having to sell his grain, cotton and other farm products for much less than he was receiving one year ago, and with hundreds cf workers out of a full time job. seems that this is no time to raise rents, salaries and the prices of automobiles. President Ti^uman said last fall that if he were elected president he would raise salaries, reduce the cost of living, repeal the Taft-Hart- ley law and pass what the Dixie- crats call the “Social Equality law. Up to the hour of going to press Mr. Truman hasn’t been able to make good on these promises. The Winston-Salem Journal and the Twin-City Sentinel are owned by the same company, with Gor­ don Gray the President or pub­ lisher. The Journal is making a fight against opening liquor stores in Winston-Salem. The Sentinel is making a strong fight in favor of opening liquor stores in the Twin-City.

New Type Sharpener Usable in Fields Will Sharpen Mower Blade While on Bar A new type of hay mower blade ■ sharpener which makes it possible. to sharpen the ordinary mower sec- | tion right in the field without even i removing it from the cutter bar, ] thus saving time and labor and : making it possible to cut more hay ' faster, has been placed on the mar­ ket by the New England Carbide Tool Company, Inc. Th-c black tip of this new type mower blade sharpener is made of carboloy cemented carbide, hardest metal commercially avail­able. Mower blades can be sharp­ ened qnickly and easily in the field v.’itli this sh.irpener. The sharpener consists of a steel shank one-half inch square and about 5" long, chrome plated against rust and having rounded edges so that the tool can be carried safely in the pocket. The tip which does the actual sharpening is made of ultra-hard carboloy cemented car­ bide metal, which is attached se­curely to the steel shank. To sharpen mower blades with this “carbide tipped” tool, the edges of the blade to be sharpened are uncovered. The sharpener is held in the hand, palm down. The car­ boloy tip is placed on the mower blade at about a tliirty-degree angle, and drawn from back to front on the blade three or four times. This pro­duces an extremely sharp edge. Any small burr which may develop on the blade may be removed by drawing the carbide tip across the bottom of the blade. Horses Are Dangerous Never approach a horse with­ out speaking to him. As a rule, farmers do not con­sider horses as especially dan- gerou.s animals, yet they account for more accidents of a serious nature than any other farm animal. According to the National Safety Council, approximately three times as many accidents occur with horses as with any other farm ani­ mal. Farmers should always be cautious around these animals, the^ NSC continued. One phase of this* precaution is a through check in the spring of aU equipment to be used on or by horses, particularly harness. Only strong harness should be used and these should be inspected regularly and kept in good repair. Dry leather has low tensile strength and it should be cleaned with mild soap and warm water and treated with oil. Attention to equipment such as neck-yokes, tongues, single­ trees, double-trees and eveners is also very necessary. The NSC suggests that many seri­ ous farm accidents can be prevented by following these simple rules: Never approach a horse without speaking to him. When cleaning a stall, make no sudden movement. Enter the stall on the left side of the horse. When driving or leading horses, never wrap the lines aroimd body. Male Youngsters Drink More Milk Than Girls Results of a recent study should be of interest to dairy farmers. The study revealed that teen-age boys drink more milk than teen­ age girls. Eating habits of school boys and girls, 15 years of age and over, in both city and rural high schools were studied for three days. It was found that 39 per cent of the boys and only 22 per cent of the girls drank a quart a day. MABBIED MAN HAS MANY PROBLEMS . . .

Heaven Is Real Easter Lesson for April 17, 1949 Dr. Foreman there is mail He a v e n is just as real as Chi­ cago. More so, because Chicago will in time cease to be, while heaven lasts forever. A few atomic bombs, a whiff of some new plague, can make Chicago vanish: but no atomic bomb can touch heaven. The pity is, so few Christians really be­lieve this. We can get mail from Chi­ cago, but who ever heard of mail from heaven? Wait, though from heaven, and you have it there in your Bible. If you accept it for what it is, the Word of God, then it is the Word from heaven. To be sure, it does not teU us much about heaven . If you were actually trav­ eling to Chicago, you would not begin by studying a street-map of that city. What you would need is a map of the roads between. So the Bible is not a guide­book to the “City Four-Square;” it is more of a road-map to help us find the way betxveen here and there. Nevertheless, the Bi­ble does assure us that heaven is real. Christians have many reasons for believing in the reality of the future life, and some of these may not be in the Bible; but the best reasons are there. Jesus Believed It WINIFRED KIRKLAND has truly said that Jesus did not simply believe in immortality; he lived it. Jesus would never have called tins' world or this life trifling or imim- portant. But all around, under and over and through this visible world, Jesus was aware of another. He lived and acted as a citizen of both worlds. He talked of life after death —or for that matter, of his own life before his birth—as calmly and nat­ urally as you would speak of next wsek or next summer. Christ is Risen Ma n y p e o p le feel it would be easier to believe in the future life if someone who had been across the line of death would return across that line to bring a message from the beyond. So they attend seances and they listen to table- tappings and go through all manner of weird performances in order to get a word or two from someone who has passed on. But all the time we do have a record of a Return. Indeed it is The Return. We call it the Resurrection. The message of Easter is not summed up in songs about some “Beautiful Isle of Somewhere;” it is in these three words: “Christ. Is risen!” He did not return in darkness, he was not under the control of any “medium,” he did not make him­self known by ghostly hauntings. He was seen at supper-tables, he spoke to his friends on a mountainside, he came to fishermen on a spring morning by a lake shore. The ear­ liest Christians doubted some things;, but few doubted that the Lord was risen indeed. Heaven Begins With God Th e CURE for the troubled heart, Jesus said, is faith in God. One of the strongest reasons for believ­ ing that the future life is real, is the nature and character of God him­ self. Jesus said as much once, in an argument with men who did not believe in immortality; “God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” If we were God’s paper dolls or toy soldiers, he might weary of us as a child wearies of its toys, and sweep us aU into de­ struction without a moment’s thought. But if we are truly his children, then when life’s evening comes, he wiU call his tired child­ren home. Eternal Life. bas two sides, the heaven-side and tbe eartb- side. The church has never be­ lieved that simple immortality is the same thing as the heaven­ ly life. A Judas, when he dies, goes (as Peter saidly said) “to his own place.” A Judas carries out his own hell with him. But a man like Paul, or any Christian who has been at home with God here on this earth, when at last death comes, will, aj Whittier said: ^ “Find himself by hands fa­miliar beckoned Unto his fitting place.’ by f e m i n i n e ^ w o ~ P i e c e f f o !

H old-O ver Hens Bring Profits According to Poultryman Hen­ ry Schlueter, Henry county, Ohio, a bunch of layers usually are U to IVA months old before they pay him a cent for his labor—and if he sells them at the end of their first laying year, they have been making money for only seven months.160 layers 20 months old, culled from 600 straight run chicks—and later from 294 seven-month pul­lets, cleared $110.38 in two months: it just isn’t good busi­ ness to discard them for a flock that wiU net almost $25 a month less—not until they have slumped and return less profits than pul­ lets.

BENSON Ptc$Ue»t-MaidiKj CtUtft $tnrcf.Arka»su The Spirit of Research What has happened to the haM- starved genius who used to toil in some lonely attic, hoping to invent the wonder of the age? His day is jtist about over. There are not so many of these lone-woU inventors as there were in grandpa’s time. Don’t we give patents any more? It isn’t that. 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 millioa Some do. That spirit remains. The Newer WayBut better ways have been found. The newer term “research” is grad­ ually 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 way 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. Wh0e the half­ starved inventor struggled along with almost no financial backing, the modern 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 De velopment, $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 product.True, 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, for better ways of producing better products, is a company that will lose out and close down in the long run. A more enterprising competitor will wind up with the consimier’s dollar! Spirit of America The company that spends for re­ search is the company that I would want to work for. It is also the company whose stock Fd 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 tayon. 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 be­ fore a penny was earned from the product. That kind of thing can happen only in America, and under free enterprise. The freedom to ven­ture and to look for the better way of doing things, for the newer and better product, belongs to the spirit of America, and it is responsible for our high wages and our high stand­ ard of living.

Cook Pork Thoroughly Out of every 100 hogs that go to market, at least one of them is capable of causing trichinosis among meat consumers, declares the Ant'iirican Veterinary Medical associsticii. Thorough cooking of pork is the only home safeguard against this serious disease, since cooking destroys the worm para­ sites which cause it. Intestinal ir­ritation, muscular paiii, and fever are typical symptoms, although some people become infected with­out showing definite sjrmptoms. Pet animals also are susceptible to trichinosis, the AVMA says, and therefore should not be fed un­cooked pork. FINE ]^ATCH REPAIRING Y O U R W ATCH IS A PRECIOUS INSTRUMENT.

Federal agen­cies and many states have funds and authority to fisjht this treacherous disease. And everyone agrees on how to control it.So, there is no excuse for allowing the dread virus of rabies to go on striking down 8,000 to 10,000 animals and persons each year in this coun­try. Rabies can be eradicated here— just as it has been in England, Nor­way and Sweden.People usually think of rabies as a "mad dog” disease — especially com;aon in stray dogs. But it is more than that. Actually, all warm­blooded animals can and do have rabies. Nearly 1,000 head of farm livestock were among the 9,000 re­ported victims in 1947. Most cases are traced to bites from dogs, but rabid squirrels, skunks, foxes and other animals are responsible for many outbreaks.Rabies is tricky, too, because the symptoms vary in different cases. Fierce dogs may become docile, quiet dogs may become aggressive, before they go into the "mad” stage. Rabid cows and horses become wild and excitable, with a tendency to bite and kick or bunt at moving objects. In the final stage, any animal or per­ son dying of rabies goes into a state of collapse and paralysis.VVhat to do abovt it? If rabies i.s suspected in * dog or other animal, call the veterinarian at once. The case mii.st be reported. All shaded staves reported rabies case!, in 1947. But the real answer is prevention —and widespread preventive meas­ures can eradicate rabies and end this threat to the animal and human populations. Annual vaccination of dogs, coupled with strict control of dogs in rabies areas, is the answer. All dog owners should co-operat" with veterinarians and other author­ities in every effort to stamp out this deadly disease. , IIVESTOCK HEALTH ODDITIES FIFTH PLAGUE OF ESYPT WAS P«)8A9LY ANTHRAX ------ A OiS£AS&Y/HICH- VETEBINARIANSHAVe KEPT W ELL U N DER ■ ^C O N T R O L IN T H IS C O U N T R Y .

Deficit Risks President Truman, agsin nrgine Congress to raise tax rates, declar­ es that a Federal deficit would be much more dangerous to the conn, try’s economic health than a tax increase. We fully agree lhat government, al deficit spending at this time could be disastrous, giving infia. tion another shot in the arm. But overtaxing the people could brin^. on a depression, which coulJ bring on a depression would be just as bad When the government takes iro much of peoples’ earnings it creates deficits of a port which bring a chain reaction that soon affccts the entire nation's economic health. John Doe’s wtekly pay onvel< pe is nicked for. «ay thiee dollars of withholding taxes If he hid tho.'^e three dollars to spend he would be able to trade in his old ice box for a u:w refrigerator. But with the tax deduction he won’t be able to make payments, so he makes his old box do Tbat means the mer chants loses a kmIc and in turn cuts down on bis oider with the distri butor who cancels an order with the manufacturer. The manufac­ turer in turn cuts orders for raw materials and supplies and lavs off part of his employees. Next thing we know we are in an ecomic slump and government experts, needing a whipping boy, blame it on business when the real culprit is govern, ment policy. If, instead of insisting on ever higher taxes. President Truman would urge Congress to cut down on Federal spending, we could have lower taxes without threat of a Fodpral deficit, and business, re­ assured and confident, would surue full steam ahead into prosperous production--S'atesville Dally.

New WordingThe Washington biological sur­ vey, which puts metal bands on mid birds to study' their migra­ tory habits, recently ordered new bands with difierent wording. They now read “Notify- fish and wildlife services, Washington, D. C.” Formerly the bands said simply, “Wash. Biol.

It was terrible. Stop fooling the people.” ADVICE TO PARENTS MARKSMANSHIP A tipsy hunter was standing in a rocking boat trying to get a bead on one solitary duck flying over a lake. After weaving his rifle back and forth several times, he at last fired, and to the astonishment of onlookers, the duck dropped. A spectator congratulated the happy huntsman on his fine marksman­ ship under such adverse conditions.IDs modest answer was, “Well, out of the whole flock up there, I ought to get at least one.” Radio InfluenceSammy’s father was an ardent radio fan. Every evening he had special programs to which ha listened, but of them all his favor­ ite was a “conthiued” mystery thriUer. The foiu:-year-old couldn’t take It all in, but he was quite content to sit for hours in his father’s lap, listening to the music and dialogue pouring from the speaker. So his mother was not particu­larly surprised to hear him con­ clude his little prayer one night with the announcement: "Tomorrow night at this time there will be another prayer 1” Qiflck'Kesujts'The old lady had lost her purse and she rushed into the station house and tearfully told her story.

Try one at a time. With a tossed green .salad, add a combination of chopped fresh or powdered basil, tarragon and tityme. For cheese balls to garnish stdads, mix the cheese with pow­dered caraway or dill seeds. Try tarragon vinegar for tossed green salads, or for marinating chicken, lobster or crabmeat salad. Use gar­ lic vinegar for french dressing or in potato salad dressing. Child Training Expert—If your children become unmanageable, quickly switch their attention. Puzzled Parent—Their what?

School Lt'nches Studied Right Off Pla^e n SeEiool What children actuallv eat—not just the menu for the day—deter­ mines the real nutritive value of their school Iimch. This viewpoint has prompted nutritionists of the U. S. department of agriculture to make a study of school lunches right off the plate in two Maryland schools. Twenty-eight lunches served at two seasons were the basis of this study by Dr. Milicent Hathaway and Dr. Frieda Meyer of the bu­ reau of human nutrition and home economics. They are now analyz­ ing chemically those meals served to children in the third to sixth grade, and have tihus far checked up on three important vitamins. Judging from the meals analyzed, vitamin C is low in many school lunches, except on days when orange juice is served. Including citrus fruit juice in the noon meal is a simple and effective way of assuring that the school child will get sufficient vitamin C, the nu­ tritionists advise. The B vitamin, thiamine, is prob­ ably the nutrient most often low in school lunches, they observe. Only one of the 28 lunches provided one- third of the day’s needs of this vitamin as recommended for 12- year-olds by the national research council. Ten lunches provided enough thiamine for eight-year-old children. Peanut butter, dried beans, split pea soup and similar foods are good sources of this vi­tamin. The lunches provided amply for the B vitamin riboflavin. Milk is credited with giving important aid in this respect. The nutritk>nists comment that it is well for school lunches to supply liberal amounts of riboflavin since many yoimg- sters got little milk at home. History's Storehouse in Washington Since the National Archives wa.>! created by an act of congress in 1934. it has accumulated 840,000 cubic feet of “permanently valuable” recsrds.

Versalile Camel Had Role In Building 2 Continents Australia’s camels, which once helped explore, supply and police the “out-back” country, are becom­ ing a nuisance. Outpaced by trucks and buses, the animals are being given away by the South Austral­ian government. The first recorded camel in Aus­ tralia was imported in 1840, notes the NaUonal Geographic society. Twenty years later, two dozen were brought in from India, as carriers for the ill-fated Burke- Wills expedition across the conti­nent. Because of their strength and en­ durance, and ability to go days without water, camels played an important role in early surveying and settlement of the island con­ tinent.In long trains, silhouetted against the empty horizon, they packed mail, food and other necessities to interior sheep ranches, returning with loads of wool. They helped push pioneer telegraph lines, and as fleet mounts for constables, captured many a fleeing outlaw. b the U. S. on the other hand, early eiqperiments with camels were soon abandoned. In 1855, Secretary of War Jefferson Davis, later president of the Confederacy, encouraged the importation of cam­els and native herdsmen to aid military transport in the arid Southwest. The Civil war, however, halted activities. Horses and mules would bolt at sight and smell of the newcomers, ^^en Camp Verde fell to the Confederates, many of its camels wandered off. The oth­ers were later sold to packers, cir­ cuses and zoos. Lamb Overeating Disease Combatted by Medicines Science has come to the rescue of lambs that get deathly sick from eating too much.Ovine enterotoxemia, usually called overeating disease, can now be combatted by three effective medical weapons, veterinary re­ search men told a national conven­ tion of %e American Veterinary Mescal association in San Fran­ cisco.Lambs sent to feedlots to be fattened for market often get sick and die from stuffing themselves on grain. An organism present in their digestive tract begins to pour forth a poison under the tafluence of heavy grain feeding, with death often resulting.Since the object of feedlot opera­ tions is to get lambs fat as quickly as possible, it is not practical to reduce the ration. So, histead, sheep owners in cooperation with veterinarians are now ushig one or more of the three following means ot cutting down losses: A bacterin, which confers im­ munity against the disease.An antitoxin, which also confers immunity and has been found valu­ able in stopping explosive out­ breaks. Sulphur, fed in small amotmts along wift the grain ration, as a preventive measure. All of these methods have been tested under field conditions on many thousands of lambs, the re­ search men said. China Fights Cattle Plague American wartime research is going into delayed action against a plague responsible for nearly a million cattle deaths annually in China. Because military leaders feared that saboteurs might faitro- duce deadly rmderpest virus into American herds, they set up a top-secret research project on a remote island in the St, Lawrence river, where leading United States and Canadian veterinarians, aided by virus disease specialists, de­ veloped a highly effective vaccine, ready for use in an emergency. As soon as the war ended, the United States sent a large shipment of the vaccine to China, and it was put to work immediately in combatting widespread outbreaks of rinder­pest China was given the American formula and is now manufacturmg the vaccine in a project designed to rebuild her livestock industry.

Caution for Pet Owners Overloading Fido and Puss with the "sunshine vitamin” may black out their 'chances for a healthy, happy existence, pet owners are cautioned. “Serious pathologic changes” have been observed in pet animals receiving excessive daily doses of vitamin D fractions over a period of several months, according to veterinary authorities. While measured amounts of vita­min D are essential to the health and growth of dogs and cats, in­discriminate feedteg of vitamin D supplements may so affect bone growth that their teeth become dis­ eased and useless. Our County And Social Security Bv Mrs. Ruth G. DufEv, Manager. Many times in this column I have used the term “insured wor­ ker.” Do you know the meaning of this expression when it applies to you in connection with the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance program? A n “insured worker” is a t erson, either living or dead, who, at the time a claim is filed on the basis of his wage record, has the number of quarters of co­ verage necessary to permit pay­ ment of benefits. A quarter of coverage is a 3 month period end­ ing March 31, June 30, Sept. 30, and Dec. 31, in which a worker is paid at least $50 in wages in gen­ eral business employment. The number of quarters required de­ pends on the date the worker be­ comes 65. A worker who was 65 before July 1, 1940, needs only 6 quarters of coverage to get bene­ fits. A worker who becomes 65 anytime from July 1,1940 through December 1956, must have at least one-half the quarters from Jan. 1, 1937 to the quarter in which he is 65. For example, we now, in April, 1949, have had 49 quarters from January, 1, 1937, through March 31, 1949, so a worker be­ coming 65 any time from April 1, 1949 to June 30, 1949, needs 24 quarters to get benefits. Forty- nine is an odd numb-‘r of quar­ ters, so the odd quarter is dtopped in determining the number of re­ quired quarters. Persons who become 65 on or after Jan. 1 . 1957, will need at least 40 quarters of coverage. Any person who has earned 40 quar­ ters will be insured for life even though no other quarters are ear- '■ ned. So, a worker who has had regular work under this program from Jan. 1, 1937 to present time, will receive retirement benefits when he is 65. A person who ‘ meets the requirement for his own benefits is said to be “fully insur­ ed.” The requirement for fully insured standing in a death case is much the same as for a living worker. A person over 64 at death must have earned at least the number of quarters required for his own benefits. A person not ' yet 65 at death must have earned at least half the j]uarters between Jan. I, 1937, or the quarter in which he became 2 1 , whichever is laler, and the quarter in which death occurs. O f course, a person who has earned 40 quarters is in­ sured in any case.

H 0 lfS S H O L 9 Speed your Cooking with Pressure Pans(See Recipes Below) Quick Meals IF YOU’VE EVER come home at five o’clock after an afternoon of club activities, have you won­dered how to get a roast on the table and a meal cooked to com­ pletion Vvithin the hour? The solution to this problem lies In cooking the meal in one of those efficient utensils known as a pressure cooker or pressure pan. In an hour, and in many cases, less time, you c a n have a steaming h o t meal with meat, vegetables and potatoes on the table tor a hungry family. All this can be accomplished with no more previous preparation than market­ ing.Foods cooked under pressure cook quickly because the steam is held within the utensil. Food values are saved, too, so you can serve more healthful meals to the family. And, if you’re a busy homemaker, you can save hours of time in the preparation of foods which usually take tliree of four hours to cook. AU of the recipes given today use meats that take long cooking time under ordinary circum­ stances. Use the directions care­ fully and follow the manufactur­ ers’ directions for using whatever kind of cooker you have.* « • THE RECOMMENDED pressure, for most dishes including meats is 15 pounds.

Rules of Temperance Lesson for April 24, 1949 •THERE IS REALLY something funny about it. Consider a First Church congregation singing: “Jesus, I my cross have taken. All to leave and follow thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my AU shalt be.” Ob, come, come, ladies and gen­ tlemen! Your cross? Where is it? "A ll to leave”—?You are going right back to your homes fo r an extra-good Sunday dinner. “De- titute”—? (Some con­ gregations, believe it or not, actually sing “naked, poor,” in­ stead of “desti­ tute.”) Not a one of you ever has been Dr. Foreman on relief; you prob­ ably have more money in the bank than most of the people who didn’t come to church. Some People Cannot be Christians IT MAY BE FUNNY to compare what the congregation is singing about themselves with what they reaUy are. But it is sad, too, be­ cause that hymn illustrates how foggy-minded some Christians are about their o\vn “cross.” They can sing blithely about it, and even complain (in song) about their own condition as something for the Salvation Army to look into, when they don’t mean a word of it. The fact is, Jesus did demand just the thing the hymn describes. He said, in so many words, “Whoso­ ever doth not bear his cross and come after me cannot be my dis­ciple.” tVhat Did Jesus Mean? THERE ARE TWO ways of mis­ understanding Jesus here. One wrong line is taken by those who think Jesus did not mea» a word he .said. The other wrong line is taken by a very few people, a very few in­ deed, who take Jesus absolutely lit­erally. They believe that no one can be a true, 100 per cent Chris­ tian, unless and xmtil he gives up all his property, aU his family, and lives alone and wild, a hermit in the wilderness. The facts show that both these interpretations are false. The world has never been really made better, either by selfish, com- tort-loving, worldly Christians, or by the wild and woolly hermits who are clean “out of this world.” “Love Thysolf Last” •pHE WISEST, the most devoted ^ Christians, have known better what Jesus meant. Jesus’ own parable of the “rich fool” gives us the hint. He tells of a man who had everything he wanted . . . but when he came to die, discovered he had nothing. In that little story-Jesus -shows us a man who put himself be­ fore all other persons; who put him­self before God; and who put things before character. He Uved for his body, he lived for his comforts, he lived for himself. The neighbors, maybe, called iiim smart because he ^vas rich; but God called him a fool, and what God calls a man, that he is. Taking the cross means living as Jesus lived, not as that fool Uved. Christians and Liquor Don’t Mix CONSIDER JUST ONE iUustration of what Jesus means. Should a Christian drink alcoholic liquors? If you are not a Christian, you can try to answer this from non-Chris­tian reasons; but that is not the question. Shall a Ciiristian drink? Just think about this in the light of what Jesus said. The disciple of Christ wiU deny himself; does the drinker deny himself? The dis­ciple of Christ will put Christ first always; but what does the drinker put first? Jesus caUed a man a fool who lived for his bodUy pleasure, lived for himself; what would he call the man who thinks he can “take it or leave it” but who is ac­tually tied to his bottles? It is true, a selfish man may perhaps (for selfish reasons, such as saving money) deny himself liquor, tobacco, or even tea and coffee, and still be no Christian. But a man who really denies iiim- self, who loves himself last, will find that other self-denials foUow as a matter of course. A man who lets his appetite dictate to him, es- peciaUy his appetite for alcohol, is a man who is letting real self starve.

Not I!”- “Why on earth not?” asked the customer. “I did once,” came the reply, “and it darned near ruined me.” “Ruined you?” gasped the cus­tomer. “How on earth was that?” “Why,” responded th e shop­ keeper, “folks kept on coming in and buying things untU they nearly cleaned me out!” SEWING CIRCLE PAnEBWS SHOULD GET ABOUT l e r . “I told your father that I loved you more than any other girl I ever met.” “And what did he say?”“To try and meet some more girls.” Coimting The Cost The bride of a struggling young writer was the big success of the evening, and aU the men at the party elbowed each other to dance with her. “She’s charming, old boy,” the host said enthusiastically to the hus­ band. “And her dress is a poem.”“Not a poern,” answered the young writer, gloomily. “Sixteen poems, five short stories, and nine articles.” Reg’lar FellersMy ma don’t allow me to play with you,” said the boy with the freckles. “She says you’re a bad boy.” “My ma don’t allow me to play with you, neither,” retorted the red­ headed one. “She says you’re the worst boy in the neighborhood.” “Gee! we’re both reg’lar feUers, ain’t we?” SURPRISE! A fat lady stepped on the scales. They were out of order and an indicator stopped at 75 pounds. An inebriated gent watched her intently. “My gosh,” he marveled, “she’s hollow!” Extras ExtraWriter: “How much board will you charge me for a few weeks while I gather material for my new country novel?” Hiram: “Five dollars a week un­ less we have to talk dialect. That’s three dollars extra.” Nothing To WearAn artist had just finished read­ ing a story through, and was about to begin illustrating It for a maga­zine. “I say,” he said to his wife , “this story is supposed to have happened in 1937. Now what were dresses like ten years ago?”“Like mine!” she retorted, throw­ ing him a bitter glance. Imagine!

PHONE 96 Mocksville, N . C. THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. W c JlESlc Ferguson Jittery 0. p. Sen. Homer Ferguson ^ must be getting jittery over his election probe back in Michigan. At any rate something has thrown Homer’s balance wheel out of gear. The other day, the Michigan sen­ ator, .supposed to be a great prose­ cutor and investigator, let it be knowTi to the press that two years ago he had informed Attorney Gen-, eral Tom Clark about Judith Cop- lon, the justice department analyst recently caught handing govern- men documents to a Russian dip­ lomat in New York. Tlie implica­ tion was that Clark had sat on his hands for two years while Miss Cop- lon got away with justice depart­ment secrets. When Attorney General Clark heard of the Fergnson state­ment, he was, to say the least, flabbersastefl, and sent word to the senator that he would give him 15 minutes to take back his statement. Ferguson was quick to reply. He sat down and wrote Clark a humble longhand note taking back what he had said. Tlie senator’s excuse was that he had been misquoted. He never had sold he gave information about Judith Soplon to Clark, nor did he state that he had demanded a probe of the matter, Ferguson wrote the attorney general. Next day the attorney general happened to be up on Capitol Hill calling on the chairman of the sen­ ate judiciary committee, Pat Mc- Carran of Nevada. “Here’s a letter that might in­terest you,” remarked Senator Mc- Carran, handing him a typewritten letter on the stationery of Senator Ferguson. . In the letter, Ferguson said exact­ly what the newspapers quoted him as saying the night before, and which he had denied to Clark. Two years ago, wrote the Michigan sen­ ator, he had given the information about Judith Coplon to Clark, and now he demanded an investigation. Furthermore, he put all this in black and white. The attorney general read thj letter with amusement. “Well, here’s a letter he wrote me,’.’ he remarked, pulling out the handwritten note in which Ferguson said he had been misquoted. McCarran read the note, then ob­ served: “I thought there was some­ thing funny about Ferguson’s phoning me last night. He wanted to know if I had re­ ceived this letter. Then he said: ‘Well, don’t give it out. It’s confidential’.” Silver Lobby Loves China In a secret report to the senate foreign relations committee last ■week. Secretary of State Acheson bluntly announced that the Commu­ nists are complete masters of China and it would be folly to send more U.S. arms to the defeated Na­ tionalists. Acheson reveoled that nine- tenths of the equipment already fnrnished by the United State! has been surrendered to the Communists in the past .eight months. Today the Communists have the military power to march wherever they please ib China—mcluding south China where the Nationalists are still iiolding out, Acheson reported Meanwhile, the Nationalists are negotiating frantically for a coali­ tion government. Whether the Uni­ ted States will do business with the new government, Acheson said, will depend on the Communists’ atti­tude. The secretary of state was called before the foreign relations com­mittee to onswer a petition, signed by 50 senators, demanding aid for the Nationalists. Significantly, the petition was sponsored by Sen. Pat McCarran of Nevada, the silver lob­byists, whose plan is to bolster Ihe Nationalist economy—with silver. Lobbying for Peace Senate G. O. P. leader, Arthur Vandenberg, backed coDeague Owen Brewster of Maine in a comer, glanced furtively for eavesdroppers and whispered: “You’d better lay off that ECA fund to the Dutch that you’ve been raising such a fuss about. I just learned there’s a lobbyist mixed up in this.” Vandenberg probably referred to young Piandolph Feltus, a regis­tered lobbyist on capitol hill, who has been fighting ECA aid to the Netherlands on the ground that the money will be used to finance Dutch armed imperialism in Indonesia.“Listen, Arthur,” grinned Brew­ ster, “have you ever heard of legis­ lation on any subject in congress, of major or minor importance, that doesn’t have a lobbyist for or against it?” Note: Feltus and many others have been talking to senators on the ground that o breakdown of the U.N. regarding Indonesia means a serious undermining of the peace machinery of the world. -------------W CIKLY News ANALYSIS-------- Priee Reductions Clip Inflation: Rent Control Law Gives Autliority To State Governors, Legislatures (EDITOR’S NOTE: Wlieii opinions are BTcstern Newspaper Union’s news analyi PRICE DROP: Hits Inflation American consumers were ask­ ing themselves: What does it mean? Why ■ were prices being slashed, the dollar stretching a little further? Was it simply that inflation was being clipped, or was it true, as some have said, that the country is in the midst of a mild recession? THOSE QUESTIONS were well- founded. For, in the latest economic development, prices of automo­biles, accessories, radios, refriger­ ators and ranges had been re­ duced. Continued reductions in such basic commodities as lead, zinc, copper and steel indicated there might be further cuts in manufac­ tured goods in the wind. One automobile manufacturer announced cuts ranging from $198 to S333 in the price of his cars. The mid-season catalogue of the na­ tion’s biggest mail-order house an­nounced “many price reductions in all lines.” Even ice cream was down—off three cents a quart in Philadelphia. Radios showed the biggest drop. One nationally-known manufactur­er announced price cuts of 20 to 50 per cent on nine home model sets. Auto batteries were lower in cost. A refrigerator manufacturer knocked off $20 from some of its models. Steel was down and scrap metal was at the lowest price in al­ most two years. WHATEVER ELSE entered into the picture, it was concedcd that buyer resistance was one of the main items in the price reductions. The consumer had become more conscious of prices. There had been more hand-to-mouth buying. There was a tendency to “wait and see” whether prices would come down a bit. Businessmen and industrialists agreed that the “bloom is off the boom” — that a healthy readjust­ ment is underway. SPEED PILOT: A New Record!' Joe De Bona, by his own admis­sion was a “scared boy.” And he had every reason to be. He had taken off from Burbank, Calif., in actor Jimmy Stewart’s nine-year old plane—a souped-up F-51—at 9:20:50 one morning, and exactly five hours later he was zooming into the airstrip at New York’s La Guardia Field. THE PLANE had a cracked cock­ pit canopy, dangerously low oil pressure, no oxygen, and gasoline for only seven more minutes of fly­ ing when De Bona whistled into the airport at 600 miles per hour.“I’U never try a record flight again.” he said. “This was too nerve wracking.” Fred H. Wilkerson, official timer of the National Aeronautical asso­ ciation, said the NAA would have to decide whether De Bona set a new cross-country record. He said the plane carried no barograph, a locked instrument which shows elapsed time, and that the gasoline tanks were not sealed. THE OFFICIAL coast-to-coast record for a single reciprocating plane such as De Bona flew is six hours, seven minutes and five sec­ onds, set by Paul Mantz on Feb­ ruary 28, 1947, in a flight averaging 401.076 miles per hour. DEFENSE CHIEF: Has Big Job Louis Johnson of West Virginia had taken on one of the biggest jobs in the world, and had added to the jnagnitude of the task when he declared the armed services of the United States would be “united as one.” WELL, JOHNSON, in taking over as secretary of defense, was the man whose job it would be to unify the armed services, but his prede­ cessor, James V. Forrestal, retir­ ing to private life as a banker, hadn’t been able to do it. The fact was that jealousy be­tween the services made it prac­ tically impossible to implement a congressional act unifying the army, navy and air corps. However, it was said Johnson would come closer to it than anyone else proba­ bly could. It was reported he was ready to adopt a “tough” policy to brass hats in all the services and that if unification were possible, he’d bring it about. FORRESTAL: Medal From Harry James V. Forrestal, retiring sec­retary of defense, received a sur­ prise when he caUed at the White House to say goodbye to President Harry S. Truman. Mr. Truman pinned the Distinguished Service Medal on Forrestal’s coat. The citation read that Forrestal had “materially advanced the se­ curity of the nation.” Forrestal said it was “beyond me” how he merited it. ---In tliese CDlnmns, Iand not necessarily of are tbose of : newspaper.) New Senator One of the nation’s foremost educators, Dr. Frank F. Gra­ ham, has been appointed U. S. senator from North Carolina to succeed the late Sen. J. Mel­ville Broughton. Dr. Graham was president of the University of North Carolina. RENT BILL: Buck Was Passed The rent control question was red hot. Congress knew it. The pec^le knew it. But something had to be done before controls expired March 31. Congress had to do something. It did. It passed the buck. A rent control bill was drafted by the 81st congress, but it laid in the laps of state governors and legislatures the real power and re­sponsibility for rent controls. EVERYTHING congress wrote into the present bill can be nullified by a governor or a legislature, if they see fit. The bill continues rent controls for 15 months, or to June 30, 1950. It sets up a “home rule” process for decontrol of states, cities, or other local areas. Legislatures could remove controls throughout a state, or in parts of a state. A city government, or ruling body of other communities, could pass a resolution calling for de-control and, if the state governor approved it, then the federal government would be forced to abolish controls in that community. The bill requires the housing ex­pediter to fix rents so as to insure landlords a “fair net operating in­ come . . . as far as practicable.” However, it restores old O P A powers for the rent expediter to control evictions. This, some con­ gressmen said, would prevent any mass evictions by landlords. UNDER THE MEASURE, the housing expediter is authorized to sue a landlord for three times the amount of any charge made against a tenant above the legal rent cell­ing. Under old law, the tenant had that power, but seldom used it. The new act does not authorize further 15 per cent “voluntary” in­ creases in rents, and recontrols any dwellings decontrolled under such voluntary leases, at the rent figure contained in such leases. Veteran’s priority for first chance to rent or buy a new property are continued in the biU. STOCK MARKET: Curbs Are Relaxed The federal reserve board had taken an action that should make the “ribbon clerks” very happy. “Ribbon clerks” is a name ap­ plied by stock market operators to amateurs who seek to engage in the fascinating business of trying to make several bucks grow where only one grew originally. THE FEDERAL reserve board ruling was that the down payment on purchase of stocks would be re­ duced from 75 per cent to 50 per cent. The board had been pressured for several months by the New York stock exchange, its president, Emil Schramm, and securities dealers generally. They had complained that the previous restrictions had thrown markets into the doldrums and that trading had remained at an unusually low level for months.THIS WAS CONSIDERED as strong indication the board be­lieved inflation had ceased to dominate the economic situation.Earlier, the board had relaxed restrictions on installment-buying credit, giving a longer term for in­ stallments on purchases of auto­ mobiles, furniture, refrigerators, washing machines and radios. Open Season In Kentucky, a wife may swear out legally a search warrant against her husband, according to an opinion given by Assistant At­torney General Squire N. Williams. Whether this extends to hubby’s pockets was not mentioned in the ruling. Williams declared, in an opinion given Harry R. Burke, a Prestons- burg attorney, that he knew of no state statute preventing women taking such actions. TRUMAN: Still Adamant President Harry Truman was nothing if not stubborn. Rebuffed by the senate armed services committee on his appoint­ment of Mon C. Wallgren to head up the national security resources board, Mr. Truman has served no­tice the fight is not over. DESPITE THE FACT that senate policy and tradition seldom has taken such a' matter to the floor after committee disapproval, it was understood that Mr. Truman was planning to have the issue taken from the committee and fought out on the floor of the sen­ate. Such procedure has been fol­ lowed, but only rarely, as senate history shows. The committee, in declining to approve! the Wallgren appointment, stated its position was taken only because of its conviction that Mr. Wallgren was not fitted, either by experience or ability, to hold down the vital key post in the national defense setup. Truman associates said that if other means fail, they expect the President to urge Millard 'Tydings, Maryland Democrat, chairman of the committee blackballing Wall­gren, to take the lead in a light to relieve the committee of considera­tion of the nomination. SEN. WARREN G. MAGNUSON, (D., Wash.) said he thought there was a possibility that some mem­ ber of the committee majority might be persuaded to let the nom­ ination go before the smate, al­ though with an unfavorable report. The committee voted 7 to 6 to reject Wallgren’s appointment. President Truman’s fight for his old fishing crony and senatorial colleague was not expected to be­gin immediately. Instead, the Pres­ ident was said to be planning to let the matter rest for awhile so he can see what may be done to­ward out-maneuvering some of Wallgren’s opponents.Polio "Fowled" Up? Shown here, a virologist har­vests virus of newcastle dis­ease from embryonated chick­ ens. Science thinks tliat there is a “bare possibility” that an anti-polio vaccine may be de­ veloped from the virus of new­ castle disease — an ailment which affects young fowls and usually is fatal to them. CONFERENCE: That's All, Folks The Cultural and Scientific Con­ ference for World Peace had ended without any specifically untoward incidents, barring a lot of booing and a harrowing by rightist ele­ ments of the leftist techniques of picketing and heckling. A DELEGATION of seven Com­ munists representing Russia had attended, among them the great composer Dmitri Shostakovich. Many had argued the Reds should have been denied attendance, de­spite Shostakovich’s presence among them. But calmer heads prevailed, and the Russians came. But, it appeared, they weren’t ready to go home when the parley was over. In fact, the 18 foreign delegates were all set to make a nation-wide speaking tour and then return home, “as soon as possible,” as they put it. HOWEVER, U.S. Attorney Gen­eral Tom Clark notified immigra­tion officials in New York to see to it that the delegates, Russians and all, leave the United States as soon as they could make arrange­ments. The seven Russian delegates were notified that their visas did not allow them to tour the nation; but the state department indicated it would consider any' application for an extension of their visas. THE SPONSORS of the “peacfe conference” said they did not know what the Russian delegates planned to do, but a spokesman said It was expected all four eastern European nations’ delegates would depart Shortly. » UNREST: Extant All Over Psychologists and psychiatrists might easily read into the incident a manifestation of the general un­rest which is plaguing mankind just now. At any - rate, because a Calcutta soccer team defeated a team from a nearby village, a mob of angry villagers attacked and stoned the train the next time it came through the community. Eleven persons, including two women, were injured. MIRROR of your M IN D • • • By Lawrence Gould Kisses Mean Different Things Will a girl who really loves one man kiss others? Answer: That may depend, not on how "really” she loves him, but on what a kiss means to her. And remember, kisses mean quite dif­ferent things to different people. In pre-war Japan, for instance, a kiss was considered so extreme an intimacy that the censors cut aU kissing scenes out of the movies. At the other extreme, I know social groups in which a kiss is regarded as merely a bit more cordial than a handshake. But courtship is diffi­cult when certain actions appear terribly important to one partner and trivial to the other. Do “wiseerackers” have a sense of humor? Answer: Not always, at any rate. The typical wisecrack is a form of wit, the essence of which is to de­flate someone by making him look ridiculous, and particularly, doing this imder conditions in which he can’t show resentment because it is “only a gag.” It is closer to the practical joke—^which is almost pure sadism — than to humor, which prompts us to laugh at ourselves as well as others. The wisecracker who is short on humor wiU betray the fact by getting angry if you sug­gest he is ever “unintentionally fun­ ny.” Can words help drive people to drink? Answer: Yes, and I do not mean only “harsh words.” For the feel­ ings with which words become as­ sociated may affect our attitude to­ward the things they describe. A Swedish psychologist, Dr. O. Sundet, calls attention to the fact that in the Scandinavian languages the words- which describe a person who does not drink have a disagreeable im­plication, while those for intoxica­ tion suggest s^pathetic feelings. To make abstinence from liquor, popular would take a new national vocabulary, which would be a long, hard job. LOOKING AT RELIGION By D O N M O O R E KEEPING HEALTHY 'Electric Knife' Surgery By Dr. James W. Barton \ ^H IL E many of us know about removing tonsils by electro- surgery, we may not know that this method, the “electric knife” as it is called, also is used for other op­ erations. (The method — electro-co­agulation—involves using a high fre­ quency current, instead of a knife and scissors; it destroys the tis­sues by removing aU their fluids.) When and why is this “elec­tric knife” method used? In “Clinical Medicine,” Dr. Gus- tavus M. Blech, Chicago, states that the principal reasons for use of this method, now an absolute necessity in nerve and brain surgery, are (1) tissues are divided with a least amoimt of injury; all cells, danger­ous and not dangerous, are de­stroyed by coagulation: (2) small blood vessels are sealed or closed by this method, preventing further bleeding and the need for gauze sponging, which irritates the surface tissue when the surgical knife is used; (3) pain following the opera­tion is slight because of the blunt­ ing of the ends of nerves. The electro-coagulatiofl meth­ od removes all malignant cells (dangerous, such as cancer cells or suspected malignant structures) to avoid carrying malignant cells into the system, thus reducing chances of start­ing a growth (cancer) in othei parts of the body. . The next important use for coag­ulation is in hemophilia (where the blood will not clot) and in opera­tions on organs which are very rich in blood and blood vessels, such as the liver and spleen. .Also, it is valuable in an emergency when the patient is anemic, run-down or el­ derly. Of course, in cases of plastic surgery, surgery by the usual method — the knife — should hr- used because only tiny scars aro left, whereas scars made by electro-coagulation are large and slow in disappearing. The type of anesthetic used is lo­ cal, spinal or into the veins, to pre­ vent any chance of an explosion oc­ curring. An individual’s chances of reach­ing a ripe old age are far more dependent on environment (his sur­roundings) than on heredity. Fig­ ures based on an insurance com­pany’s study of the death rates and family history of policy holders, shows that those whose parents died at relatively advanced ages did little or no better than those whose parents died earlv in life. Remember that early cancer is curable by (1) X-ray, (2) radium and (3) surgery. See ypur doctor immediately if you notice any of these signs and symptoms of can­cer: (1) any sore that doesn’t heal, (2) a painless lump or thickening m the breast, lip or cheek, (3) ir­ regular bleeding or discharge from the nipple or any opening, (4) change nf onlnv in e wart Or birthmark. oso PDRKEYI Each suB !52,000, $ll $70,000 ill professioi| ■winners, tional F if Ave..

Wallis has signed Joan Fontaine for “Sep­ tember,” to be filmed in Italy in August for Paramount. Pat Knight thinks maybe it is an omen forecasting her future star­ dom—during filming of Columbia’s “Shockproof” she found a letter in her uniform’s pocket, addressed to Joan Crawford, who wore the unLform in “A Woman’s Face.” A Moroccan Michoue,” some­ thing- new in New York parties, launched George Baft’s "Out­post in Morocco.” Shot against magnificent, authentic back­ grounds, it Is a story of the French Foreign Legion, with plenty of action. The men in the supporting cast, headed by Akim Tamiroff and John Lltel, are excellent. Marie Windsor must have been cast only for her looks. Joanne Dru became an actress because she was too shy to make friends and took dramatic lessons to overcome her shyness. Howard Hawks saw her at a dramatic so'iool, hired her for “Red River.” “The swell thing about getting eight out of a dozen nations together like this is that at least it ends the day when they would not go far enough out on a limb to give each other their right phone numbers. They now agree not only to do this, but each one promises to answer the phone, no matter who is calling or how hot is it.__*_ “I am sure the pack is a good thing on account of Henry Wallace and the Daily Worker and Russia is giving it the old elbow. If Henry was for it, I would be pretty sus­picious. The way it shapes u^ to me is that with England, France, Canada, the United States, Bel­ gium and those other nations on my side, I can afford to let Henry stay on the bench.* 'I can’t quite figure out what the Atlantic Pack does to the UN.

Personally, when the shooting starts I’d feel nervous if my side were just to confer on the matter. In the next global war, the sneak- puncher is going to have a awful head-start on the boys who go into a conference first.

Mitchell ^•pHEY’BE all curious,” 1 A insisted Arthur Jordan. “There never lived a woman who wasn’t 99-44/100 per cent curiosity. I could quote you a dozen bits of poetry proving the fact—”“F o r goodness’ sake, don’t!” urged ae m Tate. “I’U take your word for it. Honestly. But Elsie isn’t that way. I’m telling you.” “You’re the kind that would never be happy with your wife asking you this aiid looking over mail and rooting about in your desk when you’re out of the house. I know you.”“Don’t speak of Elsie Lyons as ‘rooting’, if you please,” Clem Tate said coldly, “r u Htell you what. I’ll3 Minute lock the office door Fiction Slve her theneiion ^ ^ y _ y mention Bluebeard —and then you and I will go out. I’ll keep the key of the corridor door, however, and we’ll come in again and sit here. I’ll tell her not to use that key at all. See? Then if she is as curious as you say, she’U come bouncing in a la Made­moiselle Bluebeard or whatever her name was and we’ll be sitting right inside here.” “O.K. with me,” said Arthur Jordan. “She’ll be In here and don’t yon forget I told you so. I’d as soon have a homelier girl and one who wasn’t so careless anyhow. She’s decorative but she’d forget her head If it weren’t for the curls there.” Now Elsie Lyons was pretty. She knew that fact as well as anyone else. Fluffy golden hair framed a heart-shaped face with a pointed chin below a widow’s peak of hair at the upper edge. Her great grey eyes turned to pansy-color at times. But looks and business efficiency do not always go hand in hand un­ fortunately and Elsie ran about ninety-nine a n d forty-four o n e- himdredths per cent girl and fifty- six one-hundredths per cent effi­ ciency.“I am locking the door to the pri­ vate office. Miss Lyons,” said Clem Tate distinctly. “I want no one to go in there. No one. Is that clear. Miss Lyons. Here is the key.” “Certainly, Mr. Tate,” she said demurely, placing the key in her desk drawer.The two yoimg men walked re­ solutely into the outer corridor and the outside door swung too gently behind them. “Well, Bluebeard, how about it?” asked Jordan when he put the key into the door to the private office. As the door swvmg open they both looked in eagerly. They heard the telephone in the outer office. Silent­ly they sat down and Jordan gave his partner a poke in the ribs when Clem Tate looked too triumphant as the moments passed.At THE END of a half hour Clem Tate rose to his feet. Jordan fol­ lowed him and they made their way silently into the outer corridor again.“Well, was I right, Jordan?” asked Clem.“You win, Bluebeard—er, I mean, non-Bluebeard,” said Jordan. “Say, I’ve got to have a breath of air after that self-imposed silence. I think maybe we both like talking a little better than we thought we did. I had a thousand things I wanted to tell you while we sat there. But as for your charming little Elsie — she’s the real thing all right, all right. Never even clicked the key in the lock, did she? Or looked through the key-hole at us?”Jordan ambled towards the eleva­ tors with a wave of his hand. Clem Tate stood an instant at the outer door and then entered the suite of offices. He hurried through to the door of the private office and tried the knob. “Oh—” he said, “Miss Lyons, 1 forgot that this door is locked. Let me have the key, will you, please?” “I—I’m so sorry, Mr. Tate. But I sunply can’t think what I did with that key. There was a tele­ phone call the moment you left and I looked for the key so that I could —could—er—lay the message on your desk. “But I said not to go in.” S h e laughed gently. Dimples peeped in and out charmingly. She bent again and then with a sigh she murmured; “Oh! Here it is!

The youthful 4-H club member led the list of 800 trappers from 32 coimties with a total catch of 50 during the year. Second honors went to Gene Gage, of RFD 1, Can­ andaigua, who trapped 42. Tied for third with 34 foxes apiece were R uss^ KUian, of Cowlesville, and William Smith, Jr., of Ancramdale. With (he side of his garage piled high with pelts, here is Gene Gage, of RFD 1, Canandla- gua. New York state, who trapped iZ foxes during 1948 and won honors In the statewide contest. The 800 trappers in the contest accounted for 1,691 foxes, with red- pelted specimens outnumbering the gray animals six to one, according to Prof. D. B. Fales, assistant 4-H club leader. After four years, a total of 8,768 foxes have been trap­ped by rural boys of the state. Some 60 coimty trapping cham­ pions were honored at the banquet which brought the 1948 season to a close. Agricultural and conserva­ tion officials and adult professional trappers attended the ceremony and watched the presentation of awards. Premru, the state champion, re­ceived a repeating shotgun as top prize. Other awards totaling about $250 in value'were presented other trappers and pelt preparation win­ ners. The New York state poultry coun­ cil, the state Farm Bureau federa­ tion, the state conservation council and the American Agriculturist co- 'operated in sponsormg the program of awards, entertainment and ban­quet. The annual fox trapping contest is conducted by the New York state extension strvice in cooperation with those agencies and the state conservation department. New Crop Blowei A new farm machine that saves the farmer time and labor by auto­ matically blowing forage wherever he wants it has been placed on the market by the New Holland Ma­chine company. This new crop blower can sweillow blow it anjrwhere the farmer wants up to 20 tons of hay per hour and to store it. Or, if the farmer is filling his silo, the blower handles up to 25 tons of chopped com an hour. Weighing 1,350 pounds, the blower has a 12-foot hopper for receiving crops from the field. A patented leveling device keeps the forage flowing evenly Into a large throat which feeds a 42-inch f^h e e l. Whirling at speeds up to 1,200 r. p.m., this huge “fan” blows crops through an eight-inch pipe wherever the farmer wants to “aim” it. Fertilizer Formula Found “Sure Bet" After Tests Maryland corn producers look­ing for a “sure bet” now have their answer. Five years’ tests show that 200 pounds of 3-12-16 fertilizer ap­plied with the fertilizer attachment on a modem corn planter is prac­ tically a “sure bet.” Research workers at the state’s agricultural experiment station report that this application gave higher returns for the fertill^r invested than any Dther practice.

BENSON PiaU tnt—MardiKj C tlltft Setni.A rkiixsia Socialism and Taxes Can high taxes take us down the road to socialism? Yes, a whole lot farther than most people think. Top economists are pointing right now to danger signs that aSect you and your job. With taxes having long ago neared the “breaking point,” it is just possible that un­wise legislation for more spending and more taxes could upset the na­ tion.The pliglit our nation is in right now, because of a tax load that re­quires more than a quarter of every dollar of national income, was ap­ parent in the President’s recent message. Mr. Truman stressed the need for high steel production and for expanded facilities. (Steel out­put is hitting new all-time peaks— even better than war time highs.) It wotUd be the part of the federal government to build plants and pro­ duce steel, if private industry did not, Mr. Truman said. For this, who would put up the capital? Contradiction?Obviously, you would. By paying taxes. When government goes into business, the effect is to spend money, not make it. That has been proved too many times. But on the face of it. Mr. Truman’s proposi­tion—that the government get into the steel business—is nothing more nor less than •■socialism pure and simple. Continuing, Mr. Truman said there must oe $4 billion in new taxes, mostly fruni corporations. The contradiction of it all makes food for serious thought.With one breath, the government thus orders business to "plan for steady, vigorous expansion,” and with the next proposes taxing poli­cies that will make it impossible for industry to have funds for ex­pansion. Despite already high taxes that make capital timid, the steel industry has somehow readied enor­ mous production levels. But more taxes remain a dangerous threat. What Congress dees about taxes this year may have great influence on the production of the future.Incentive Destroyer Heavy taxes are a certain hin­drance to production, and hence to prosperity and national well-being. More than any other one factor, taxes can smother initiative. They destroy incentives to get ahead, to save, and to invest. Taxes take at least half the total income of all persons with incomes of $5,000 a year or more. This groiip repre­sents only one-tenth of America’s families, but it is from this group that the bulk of risk capital must continually flow into new enter­ prises.A Plague of Taxes That high taxes are now keeping funds away from business enter­prise is a sobering fact. Figures will show that in the eight year pe­riod from 1940 through 1947, indi­ viduals cut back their holdings ot corporate investments by nearly a )illicbillion and one-th:rd dollars! Taxes do prevent savings for investment.Be assured that if the federal budget takes $42 billion from the people, the price of everything from bread to shoestring will contain its share of that multi-bUlion dollar fig­ure. That is why government spend­ ing must interest you. The more government spends, the more it must collect. And government has nothing, except what it gets from the people. Then when people pay. incentive is in grave danger. The Gargantua that can overthrow America is “Big Government.” This destroyer feeds on taxes.

The beaver is the world’s first engi­neer, and as such, its industrial traits are valuable to man and beast. For their value as engineers, beavers often are carried to locali­ties where their kind once lived but disappeared. They are captured in large ba.-^ket-like traps and trans­ported to depleted lands where beaver dams are needed.

You go into year packet and yon give them of vonr purse; Yon go to see the merchant and you parchase from bis store. And when vonr goods are running low yon go and buy some more; You go to see"' your neighbor and yo.i talk about yonr farm. And maybe .say a lot of things ;in which there is some haim; Yon go to see the dentist when your teeth are getting bad. You look into the catalog' to find the latest fad; Y ju answer to youf Govrrument at every call of roll. But never see the man of God a- bout your precious sonl. You pass and pass the preacher by and never stop to think Some day you’ll reach vonr iour. nev’s end and stand upon the brink Of vast entemity so sure, then go to meet your God, And answer for the way you’ve lived, the path your feet have trod. Perhaps you’ve let your Bible lay upon the shelf in dust. And then you’ll find, when it’s it’s too late, the things in which you trust. And things for which you've spent your life, your ironey and vonr time. Are not tbe means that bring yon peaco and joy that is sub. lime; So stop, dear one. upon vonr patb and let the preacher pray And help you ficd tbe God of love ere ends life’s little day. You say the preacher ought to be in every needy place. And ought to wear a sunny smile and have a cheerfnl face; He ought to study, nreach and prav, and visit all the ill. And ought to be an bouest man and settle every hill;He ought to keep his family up and educate them. ton. And if he fails on anything, al. though he’s done no sin. Yon think vou ought to get him out and put another in; And yet. perhaps, the truth is this you didn’t do vour part.And now yin have a guiltv soul, a sinful, wicked heart. O yes, you pass t*’e preacher by and have but little thought Of how he’s labored in vour midst — how faitbfully’be tanght— To save your orecious soul from bell, and save yonr children, tooAnd help yon on the narrow way with pilgrims tha are true. Yon spend your money and vour life for pleasures of the land. And nevr ctop to visit him. nor give a helping hand; Yon do not help support the church, nor even pay your dues.Nor helo tne preacher’s family or with food and clothes and shoes. Though vou expect him on his job, faithful and trne indeed.But never ask if he is well, or has a single need. Notice to Creditors Having qualified as Executrix of the estate of Z.

GRANT, Attorney. Panleillln Value Studied In Many Animal Diseases ^ Famous though penicillin may be, it will still have to prove its worth the hard way—like any other drug—in order to win acclaim in the fight on animal diseases.Up to now, bovine mastitis caused by streptococcus organisms is the "only animal disease for which the effectiveness of penicillin is established by adequate scien­tific experiments,” Dr. John H. Collins of Washmgton, D. C., told the District of ^lum bia Veteri­nary Medical association at a re­cent meeting. It is a promising treatment for at least 18 other animal diseases, but its real value against these conditions will not be proved imtil extensive con- j trolled experiments have been car­ried out, the speaker said.While repeated tests have proved ■ the value of this drug in treating streptococcic mastitis, it is likely to give disappointing results in bovine mastitis caused by other types of organisms, Dr. Collins told fte veterinary organization in em- , phasizing the need for accurate | diagnosis prior to attempting mas- ‘ titis treatment. ,Equine and calf pneumonia, ca- ^ nine leptospirosis, blackleg, eye ' infections, and certain skin dis- ^ orders were listed among the dis- i eases for which penicillin offers promise. Hus drug also is report- ' ed to be effective in swine erysipe­las of turkeys, Dr. Collins added, but there are “conflicting opin- ' ions” as to its value against that infection in hogs. Hoiv to Get a Salary Raise /^N CE in the days when Sam Bennett was serving as actiiq; city editor on a New York news­paper, there was delivered into his hands a dispatch stating that Charles Schwab has just been elected president of Carnegie Steel Co. at a salary of a million dollars a year. Bennett relegated the news to a single paragraph on page 1 0 .When the publisher came across the burled item, he waa ftt to. be tied."Good Lord, Bennett I” he shou^ ed. "Why didn’t you give this news a big {day m UBi front page? Don’t you ktaow that a young man mak­ing a million dollars a year is a great story?”“Boss,” rejdied Bennett, slightly wearily, "after a salary gets over $0 dollars a week, I ]ust don’t know what to say about it.”Bennett got a raise. INEXPENSIVE ADVICE Turkey Roasting Technique Outlined by Nutritionist That old housewifey custom of pricking the skin of a cooldng tui^ key with a fork’s tines is not a reliable test and it allows savory cooking juices to escape. Oregon State College extension nutrition specialist, Miss Agnes Koishom, says a much better test is to press the thickest part of a drumstick between the fingers, being careful to protect the hand with a cloth or paper. 1 %e bird is done, she adds, when the meat is soft to the touch.A second test to use on the cook­ing turkey is to move a drumstick up and down with the fingers. If the leg joint moves or breaks readily, the bird is ready for the table.Correct turkey roasting tech­nique, according to Miss Kolshom, involves slow cooking w*th dry heat. For birds that weigh up to 14 pounds, a roasting time of ^ree and one-half hours is recommended at an oven temperature of 300 de­grees. Larger burds will require up to six hours to roast at the same oven heat.A home-handy to remember in preparing dressing, Miss Kolshom points out, is one cup of dressing for each pound of turkey Do not stuff the bird tightly, as the dress­ing will expand in cooking, she adds. Extra dressing may be baked in a separate pan. Although she had examined ev­ery article the weary salesman had placed before her, nothing seemed to suit her requirements."No,” she said: “I’m afraid none of these things will do. You see, tomorrow is ihy husband’s birth­day. and I want to give him a sur­prise.”" I see,” said the assistant coldly. "Then why not hide behind an armchair, and suddenly cry ‘Boot* at him?” Miniature Cars Popular Miniature automobile business is booming to such an extent that miniature makers are turning out replicas of real automobiles by the thousands on assembly lines simi­lar to those of automobile manufac­turers. It is reported that some automobile dealers, who cannot get enough real cars to meet demands, are buying miniature cars and handing them out to customers on their waiting list to remind the latter that they haven’t been for­gotten. The little cars with the dealer’s name stamped on the roof also serve another good will use as toys for youngsters. ' EASILY DONE Improved CattleWhen a railroad first put on fast ejpresses, there was much trouble with ranch owners whose stock strayed onto the tracks and were killed. And, without fail, when a steer lost its life, the owner put in a claim for damages on ttie basis of a valuable, pure-blooded animal.In desperation the president of the railroad called in a famous attorney for consultation. The lawyer examined all the record? and reported as follows:“I have come to the conclusion that nothing improves the strain of Oklahoma cattle so much as crossing them with a locomotive.” KILLED BY A WEASEL Son—Father, can my new boy Mend replace yonr business partner that died this morning?Fafher-It’s aU right with me, if yon can arrange it with tbe undertaker. "So you lost your poor husband. I’m so sorry. How did it happen?” "He was keelt by a weasel.” "Killed by a weasel? That’s very unusual. How did it happen?” "Driving hotomobil, commeng to railroad crossing. Deedn’t hear no weasel.” Conversational Lapse A small boy was asked to dine at the bome of a distinguished pro­fessor. Upon his return his mother questioned him at length, asking him if he bad been perfectly polite."Well,” said the small boy. "vdien I was trying to cut my meat, it slipped off onto the floor— but I made it all right.”"What did you do, dear?” the mother asked.“Oh. I just said carelessly, that’s always the way with tough meat I” Doctor’s Logie Doctor (as he finishes painting t’s throat)—That’ll be three Follow the LeaderThe Bank of England has long requhred its employees to sign a register upon their arrival in the I morning, and if they are late they ! must likewise record the reason ; thereof. London weather being what : it is, the first tardy gentleman gen- I erally sets down “fog” opposite his ' name, and those who foUow write, “ditto.”But fate dealt a new hand one ’ morning, and the first latecomer wrote in the book, "wife had twins.” Under the twice-blessed gentleman’s name mechanically I followed 20 others, each followed by■ the one word “dittol” Fox«»-. Spread Rabies In several of the southern states and in New York state, foxes have become a serious threat to rabies ccmtrol, due to the fact that many of them have this disease. Dr. Ray­mond Fagan, veterinarian for the Indiana state board of health, re­ports that considerable progress is being made in eliminating this men­ace by shooting and trapping foxes. If the fox population is kept down by continuous himting and trapping, rabies from this source will be a less serious problem to human be­ings, dogs, and pastured animals. Dr. Fagan says. New Ring Idea “Companion bracelet-rings,” two rings worn on different fingers but linked with decorative chains, is a new idea created by British jewel­ry craftsmen. One of tbe designs links a palladium wedding ring with a twin-shanked little-finger ring. Another creation is a delicate gold finger sheatti for the first fbiger stud­ded with blue stones and brilliants chained to an even more elaborate band worn on the second finger. Sylvester Says: “ Here’s the plot! Now, who’s home shall we build on it?” When the Fed- Federal Govern­ment builds “public housing” _ _ it uses the samematerials and the same men pri­vate industry is using now to build 6 homes a minute every eight-hour working day.If the government takes men and material away from a home being built for your neighbor, it stops your neighbor from building his house.If the government takes your tax money to build a house for your brother (public housing) it doesn’t add a single house to the present supply. For, it must tear down your bffother’s old house to justify its spending of your tax money.But if your neighbor has a good house and builds a new one, there would i»e two hoBses—one for your neighbor and one for your brother.

Our County And Social Security Bv Mrs. Ruth G. Duffv. Manager. Employer Social Security Tax returns for the quarter ending March 31, should be mailed to the Collector of Internal Revenue not later than April 30. It is impos­ sible to over emphasize to each employer the importance of item 17 and 18 on the tax return. U n­ der item 17 should be entered each employee’s Social Securitv Account Number, and under item 18 should be entered each em­ ployee’s correct name-the name as it appears on his Account No. Card. The omission of full in­ formation from the tax return may cause many wage earners to receive reduced benefits in some instances and in odier cases may result in a total loss of benefits, due to the fact that Unemploy­ ment Compensation and Old-Age and Survivors Insurance benefits are based upon the earnings of the wage earner. If vou cooperate with your em­ ployer by seeing that h< has your name and account number, you can save vourself and your family the possible loss of future benefits and your employer a lot of trou­ ble. Remember you are the one who will get the benefits. If you have not given this information to any employer you had during January, February and March, do so at once. If you do not have a Social Security Account Number Card and are now working in cov­ ered employment, apply for one immediately. You can get the ap­ plication blank from your local postoffice. You should send the completed application to the So­ cial Security Administration, 437 Nissen Building, Winston-Salem. If you tiave had a Social Secur­ ity' Account Number and have l«.ySt vour card, you should request a duplicate card by getting an ap­ plication hlank from the postof­ fice, completing and mailing to this office at above address. We will issue you another card show­ ing the number that was issued to you when you first got one. Your number never changes in any case. Women employees who have had their names changed beeuuse of marriage, divorce or for any other reason, should see to it that their Social Security Accounts are corrected. This can be done by writing to this office at the address given above. W e will also send vou another catd which will show your original number but your present name. I will be in Mocksville oti W ed­ nesday,' April 27, at the court house, second fioor. at 12:30 p. m. I will also be in Cooleemee on the snme date at the Erwin Cotton Mills office at 1 1 a. m. THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE. N. C. -----------WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS----------- Effect Disputed as Pact Signed; Bradley Urges Earopean Fortress; Senate Okays More Aid for Chinese Israel's Miracle (EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinions are expressed In these colnmns, they are those of Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) PACT SIGNED; Hopes & Fears For better or worse . . . for a hope of peace or a step toward war . . . the North Atlantic pact was now a reality. Wliether it would in­ sure peace or aggravate tensions into war, no one could say with finality. Tliere could be no doubt anywhere, however, that its sign­ ing was completed in a world at­mosphere redolent of both hopes and fears. STRIPPED of its mumbo-jumbo phraseology, the intent of the pact is simple: It declares that an act of aggression against any of the signatory nations shall be construed as an attack against all. It does not make mandatory military help by any signatory to any pact mem­ ber who may be attacked. The de­ gree of assistance is optional. Therein, as many observers have pointed out, lies the pact’s strength and its weakness. The strength in­ herent in the proviso lies in its leaving to signatory nations exer­ cise of their own judgment regard­ ing the degree of emergency in the event of attack, and does not pre­ cipitately hurl all pact signatories into war willy-nilly. Its weakness stems from the fact that aggressor nations may be willing to gamble that great powers will not be will­ing to wage all-out war to come to the assistance of a smaller signa­tory. THERE WAS STAUNCH denial that the pact was aimed at any particular nation, but only a moron would concede the truth in that. The pact definitely was aimed at blocking Russian aggression against the smaller signatories, and there was little effort to hide the hope that the pact would do just that. On the other hand, there were those who felt the step was one which would ultimately lead to war as Russia would brook no actions short of war to stop the tide of Soviet imperialism. Pact signatories were the United States, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Prance, Iceland, Italy, Luxem­bourg, Netherlands, Norway, Por­ tugal and the United Kingdom. DEFENSE: Arms for Europe The United States was urged to follow up swiftly its peace-insur- ance action in signing the North Atlantic pact. General Omar N. Bradley, U. S. chief of staff, called for a military aid program which would strengthen western Europe as a fortress and stop an aggres­ sor before he could overrun the continent. Bradley rejected the idea wide­ ly held among some military men that it would be impossible to stop Russia from conquering all Europe if it chose. The best thing the United States could do, according to that theory, would be to strike back with air power and lead a counterattack which would even­tually liberate the continent. BRADLEY flatly contended that such strategy would breed despair among potential allies in Europe and render them impotent. His remarks carried added sig­ nificance because he stated he had been requested by the state depart­ment to comment publicly on the military security significance of the North Atlantic pact and its im­plementation. He took a hefty swing at the Soviets, although omitting them by name, when he declared: “If to be resolute is to be hostile, then we shall have to endure the slanders of those who call us hostile. For their slanders are the expressions of angry resentment from jackals denied their plunder.” HE DECLARED the Atlantic pact had removed the world crisis from a “cold war” stage, and warned that America could all “too readily become the victim of our own slogans . . . if we. do not soon re­ nounce our catch-word addiction in all too many minds that ‘cold war’ is the overture to real war, we may find ourselves with a mentality that accepts real war as inevit­ able.” But did his urging to strengthen the “ramparts” of Europe in favor of air power and liberation later, mean strengthen the pact coun­tries’ defenses with men as well as guns and munitions.That was a possibility the peo­ ple of the U.S. would have to con­sider. RUSSIANS ON RAMPAGE This map compares for the first time the boundaries of the IJ.N. decision with the area ac­ tually won by Israel arms. The miracle of reclamation is Is­ rael’s present achievement and futntre hope. ARMISTICE: Jews in Dissent Amid verbal strife and dissen­ sion, the government of. Israel con- sumated an armistice with Trans­ jordan. Despite vociferous opposi­ tion, the government won a test vote of confidence in parliament. WHATEVER ELSE the armistice may have effected, a foreign office spokesman said it had added 150 square miles to Israel. This area was to be pared off the northwest­ ern area of the bulge by an Arab withdrawal from the Hadera-Afula road and off the western edge by a withdrawal from the Tel Aviv-Haifa railroad. But the armistice was not effected without bitterness. Prime Minister David Ben - Gurion’s opponents charged the armistice was tanta­ mount to recognizing the incorpora­ tion of the Jenin-Tulkarm-Nablue bulge north of Jerusalem into the Hashemite Jordan kingdom of monarch Abdullah. The vote followed a stormy five- hour debate. Opponents charged the armistice opened Israel to Anglo-American influence. Ben- Gurion retorted that possibly Trans­ jordan was a puppet government (of Britain) but there were also puppet parties in Israel serving out­ side interests. CHINA: More Aid There would be more aid from the United States—but, locking the door too late—there was a condi­ tion. The senate wrote into the aid bill a ban on shipments to Commu- nist-controUed areas. IT LONG HAD BEEN public in­ formation that much of the suplies and munitions sent by this country to aid the Cliinese Nationalists in their fight against communism had fallen into Commimist hands. The procedure was beginning to make America and its Far East policy appear a bit silly. Now, congress had moved to stop a procedure which must have afforded no little amusement to Russia and her Communist hordes in China. THE U. S. SENATE accepted an amendment to the aid measure to make available 54 million dollars in “frozen” China aid funds—“pro­ vided it is spent only in areas con­ trolled by the Nationalist govern* ment.” Soviet' Troops Attack Army Post in Iran Even as the North Atlantic pact was being signed in an actual, though disavowed, effort to stem the spread of Russian imperialism, a military informant in Tehran re­ ported Russian forces had attacked an Iranian army post. The report stated a Russian regiment, sup­ ported by tanks and armored cars had made a new foray into Azer­ baijan province. Iranian troops replied to the fire and an “important battle” ensued, the source said. The reported clash occurred dut- ing a time of reported strained re­ lations between the countries. Rus­sian pressure on Iran had been mounting, causing speculation that the oil-rich Middle East country would become the next focal point in the “cold war.” Secret “Leaked” M O W that-James Forrestal is out •I” as secretary of national defense, the story can be told of one of his last sessions with Truman and the man who was to take his place— Louis Johnson. Though Forrestal had put up a tough fight against the appearance of being ousted from his job, he saw the handwriting on the wall end asked only that there be a gradual change-over from him to his successor. He wanted this to take place May 1, but at a luncheon with the President and Louis John­son, he bowed to Truman’s wish that it be April 1. Furthermore, Forrestal volun­ teered to help Johnson in taking over the defense job and immedi­ ately placed important secret in­telligence at his disposal. At this luncheon meeting, it was agreed on the date when Tohnson’s appointment would iie announced, and Johnson de­clared that until that time hf was going to leave town. “I don’t want to be accused of leaking the news,” he said. "And it’s already begun to leak.” He looked meaningly at the other two. “There’s been no leak from me.” declared Truman. “May one cross-examine the President of the United States?” asked Johnson. The President smiled, and John­ son proceeded to do so. “Didn’t you tell General Eisen­ hower about this?” he asked. “Oh yes,” admitted Truman, •'But he won’t teU a soul.” “And did you tell Senator Tyd- ings?” asked Forrestal. “Yes, I forgot about that,” ac­ knowledged the President, “but Tydings won’t leak.” “Yeah?” said the new secretary of defense. “Well, it’s leaking al­ready. And that’s why I’m leaving town.” Michigan Scandals If the justice department ever quits sitting on its' hands and takes 'a real look at the Michigan political contributions, it will uncover some of the juiciest scandals in the U. S. A. Furthermore, it will get to the bottom of the manner in which a lot of political money has been raised in this country. The justice department has fud- dy-duddied round with a semi­ investigation, but the U. S. district attorneys in Michigan have been half scared of the big Michigan auto interests, while higher-ups in the justice department have been busy chasing spies and running oft in other directions. Meanwhile, S en. Francis Myers of Pennsylvania, chair­ man of the senate campaign investigating committee, has had some efficient probers busy in Michigan, and they have dug up evidence of tride- spread violation of tbe corrupt practices act. Among other things they have found: A cashier check, Feb. 24, 1948 by the Barclay Deyo corporation, a Detroit Ford dealer, for $750 to the Wayne county Republican fi­ nance committee. Also a contribution by the Park Motor Sales company, a Lincoln- Mercury dealer in Detroit, for $750, on Feb. 11, 1948 to the Wayne county Republican committee. Also $953 to the same committee on March 12, 1948, by the Floyd Rice Sales and Service Co., an­ other Ford dealer in Detroit. Not only are these contributions by corporations a violation of the corrupt practices act, but senate investigators are interested in as­ certaining what connection there was between certain large gifts to the Republican machine and the nonpayment of sales taxes by cer­ tain auto dealers. Michigan raised a terrific wad of dough for the G. O. P. What did the Michigan auto people get m return for their money?

S. embassy has passed along Tito’s urgent request—with the postscript that it has ironclad evidence that an average of two Russian ships each day have un­ loaded military equipment at the Albanian port of Durazzo for th« past three weeks. Diminishing Communists — The American ambassador to Italy, James Dunn, has just sent a con­fidential cable to the state depart­ ment reporting that, thanks to the friendship train, the Marshall plan, etc., Italian Communist member­ ship has dropped from more than two million to less than a million, 600,000. MIRROR of your MIND • • • By Lawrence Gould Kindness May Frighten Some Will kindness put anyone at his ease? Answer: No. It will work in most cases, but there are some people who are actually frightened by kind treatment. They believe tliis is be­ cause they are afraid you’re trying to put something over on them, but what really terrifies them is the pos­sibility that you may be sincere. For a person of this tsiie has built bis life around the idea that every­one is against him, and excuses his bad disposition, as well as his fail­ures by the fact that no one ever gave a break. To admit that you were kind would break down his defenses. Can inhibitions be a cause of illness? Answer: Definitely, writes Dr. Sid­ ney Tarachow of New York in the Psychiatric Quarterly. He main­ tains that there is a whole “syn­drome” (a pattern of symptoms) which results when inhibitions pre­vent our releasing inner tension by expressmg strong emotions such as love or anger. The “syndrome of inhibition” includes fatigue, mi­graine headaches, lowered immimi- ty to infection, an exaggerated im­pulse to cough, sleepiness, constipa­ tion, itching and hives, and several other ills for which no adequate cause had been discovered. Can a child spend too mncb time with grown-ups? Answer: Yes, once he has ceased to be a baby. The mark of normal development from infancy to child­ hood is a growing preference for the society of other children and com­paratively little inclination to stay with his parents except when he’s sick or sleepy. A child who spends much time even with his mother after he is old enough for school either remains too much dependent on her or is “over-stimulated” into trying to behave and think as she does. And this makes him feel “in­adequate” because he cannot really keep up with an adult.

KEEPING HEALTHY Frustration and Overweight By Dr. James 'T'HOSE of normal weight know that when they are upset in mind, they are not hungry; and if they do eat, thev are often sorry. One naturally would think, there­fore, that this same rule would work out on overweights because they usually are jovial in disposi­ tion and so emotional disturbances would upset them even more, and so greatly reduce their appetite. As a matter of fact, nervous­ness and emotional disturbances aiipear to have the opposite et- tect. Thus, we leam that obes­ity (overweight) largely is a compensation for frustration and is explained by the eating of more food than is required. We are familiar with the fact that many nervous individuals who have a problem they are trying to solve, a conflict which occupies much of their time, eat poorly. When they have their problem solved or their conflict settled, they begin to eat and sleep better. W . Barton It has been found that those who already are overweight and those beginning to accumulate excess fat, when they have a problem to face or some of their hopes have been frustrated, that, instead of eating less food, they find themselves eating more in an effort to make up to their bodies for the frustration that has occurred in their minds. It must be admitted, of course, that when not enough juice is manu­ factured by the thyroid gland or the pituitary gland, there will be excess fat accumulated. But it can easily be seen how a frustrated woman or man may sit with a box of candies or rich food available and continue to eat and eat to make up for tiiis frustration. And the comfort and satisfaction of eating seems to make up or satisfy the emotions caused by frustration. It just seems a nice, pleasant way to overcome disappointment by sat­isfying the appetite. It is because cancer of the stom­ach gives few, if any, evidences or symptoms that it is not always rec­ ognized in time to be treated to save the patient’s life. It is hoped that it will soon be possible to detect early cancer of the stomach by examining cells obtained from a smear of the uterus, Iddney, bladder and from bronchial tubes, so that beneficial treatment may be commenced. It is only too true that where there is a lack of enough food there is always a parallel lack of the pro­ teins — meat, eggs, fish — and un­fortunately in most cases a greater lack or shortage of proteins in pro­portion to the lack of other foods. Thus, the shortage of rice and tapi­ oca containing but a small percent­age of proteins is less than the foods rich in proteins. C L A S S I F I E D PARTM ENT AUTOS.

WILSON Th e p o r c h was broad and sunny, and Elsie ^aced the big chair where Dad could see the people passing and look across toto Mr. Bames grocery store. “You see. Dad,” she said cheer­ fully, “you’ll be happy here in the sunlight, and you can watch what goes on over there in the store — it’ll be no time at all untU you for­get about the shop — Goodness knows, a man who’s worked imtil he’s sixty-five years old has earned a rest.” Dad sank back in the chair and sighed wistfully. “I know, Elsie, a n d the company was real nice. Mr. Twilinger presented me with a watch, and said they were real sorry about my eyes, and hated to let me go. Watch making is such fine work and,” Dad finished carefully, “there was no other place open in the shop where they could work me in. Mr. Twilinger explained about it all be­ fore I came away.” “Yes,” Dad tried to settle him­ self uneasily, “but sitting here isn’t going to help pay for this house, and I did hope to see you settled in a home of yotnr own before I died.” He was glad when Mrs. Frisby stopped to talk. She was gossipy and friendly and Uked a chat. “Glad to see you taking a rest at last. Dad. Goodness knows, it was time. I see you’ve been looking at the sketch for the new MemoriaL Isn’t it wonderful that a great artist like Mr. Bonelli’s been engaged for the job. They say he’s been asking for medals to copy on the figures of the war veterans and I’m hurry­ ing right down with this one of Willie’s. Dad stared at the sketch of the Memorial, thinking of what Mrs. Frisby had said. Something of value. Dad went over aU his meager possessions and they weren’t much. Just his clothes, neat m d clean, the watch Mr. Twilinger had given him and that old coin. Dad was confused by the noise and bustle when he entered Mr. Bonelli’s studio, but Mr. BoneUi smiled at Dad and took him into a little office in the rear, “It’s about a coin,” said he hum­ bly, and took out his lucky piece. “Where did you get it, and why do you want to sell it, Dad.” It was easy to talk to Mr. Bonelli, and Dad explained about his home and Elsie. •PHE ARTIST sighed — “It might * have been valuable once, but it’s too defaced no#vfor restoration —I’m sorry,” he looked as if he really was.” I wish I could tell you that it’s worth something but I’m afraid it’s not.” Dad thanked him, but as he got up to go, Mr. Bonelli spoke. “I have a friend coming tomor­ row and if you drop in you can talk it over with him.” All afternoon Dad polished the coin and when he went down to the studio in the morning the metal in the coin shone. Mr. Bonelli was talking to an­ other man, when he saw Dad he beckoned him in. Dad took out the coin and the stranger ^anced at it, but he was really looking at Dad. Dad in his neat worn clothes, was worth looking at. He had lived a good life and all this good living showed in his wrinkled face and clean blue eyes. Mr. Bonelli’s own eyes twinkled. "We find yon have something of value. Dad, after all,” he said softly. “The coin was worthless,” he continued. “We want to use you as a model for one of the figures on our Memorial. We want to employ you in the studio to keep track of valuables loaned to us. Mr. Twilin­ ger says we couldn’t get a better man. The pay is good, well over five hundred dollars for the year’s work,” he said gently. “You see. Dad, the thing you have of value is yourself. You’ve been a good citizen and it shines right in your face.'* ACEOSa 1 Pawn (slang)5 Card, as wool 9 Bascal10 Smells12 French river13 Danger14 Sheltered side15 An eastern state (abbr.)17 BrisUe-liks organ18 Music note19Hiver(Belg.)21 Indefinite article22 Depart23 Yield26Bu£Eoon29 Satellites30 That which heals32 Negative reply33XJj>on34 Maestro’s baton36 Board ol Boltttlon In Next Issne. %1 z 4 7 9 10 " 16 14 zt mnz»SO 91 iZ p 34, 4l"41 H i 4k 49 Oidnanca(abbr.)' 6 Poems 3S Particle 7 Additional 41 Blver (It)8 Island oS42YouthEurope:43 Floats Great—45 Speech 47 Kind ol rSdC 9 A valley nt the moon48 Mistake 11 Slopes49 Merganser 16 Roman50 Thin money DOWN 19 A long yell20 Alcoholic1 Book of the beverageOld Testa­22 Tibetanmentgazelle2 S-shaped 24 A tiemolding25 Cry of a cow3 Mongrel 26 Trained4 Saves choral groups5 Tube on 27 Pea-likewhich silk vegetableis wound (pi.)

So declares a famous Protestant creed. It is not always good nor wise to teH everybody everything y o u know. Keeping your mouth shut may be one o f the best things y o u ever do. Jesus himself knew how to keep a secret till time to tell it. He never uttered an untruth about himself, but f 6 r a long time he did not openly de­clare his conviction, in spite of be­ing pestered to say Yes or No about it. The question was: Are you the Messiah? This was the same as asking, Are you the King? Jesus would not say Yes, because the mere word would be taken to mean “revolutionist” or traitor.” But he would not say No, because he was a king; indeed of all men he had the best right to the title. Royal Entrance BUT WHEN the time came, Jesus ® did declare himself king in a spectacular way. We know the story as the “Triumphal Entry in­to Jerusalem,” the story of Palm Sunday, now so fresh in our minds. Jesus lived in a nation of people who were familiar with the mean­ ing at symbols, both in word and action. When Jesns rode into the ancient capital where his fore­ fathers reigned, astride a mule colt, the people knew, and he knew they would know, that this was not just somebody riding a mule on a Sunday morning. In the history of the Hebrews, mules were the steeds of kings. King Solomon was crowned riding on a mule. There was a famous prophecy (Zech. 9:9) that when Jcrusalen’s great king should come, he would be riding on just such a royal steed. So when Jesus rode into Jerusalem, the people threw theur palm branches and shouted their welcome, not to the teacher and prophet, but to the King.• • • Tears in Triumph TT WAS NOT altogether a vic- torious occasion. Jesus knew too well how cheap and easy “dem­ onstrations” can be. In his mind’s eye he could see a cross standing outside Jerusalem, and in his inner ear he could hear this same dusty- throated mob, now shoutmg “Hosanna!”, yelling instead “Crucify him!” Tears stood in Jesus’ eyes. But they were not tears for himself; he never wasted energy in self-pity. They were tears for that blind city, tears for its coming destruction — the city that did not know the way to peace. Master of the Temple ■BOLDER THAN JESUS’ tnumpnal " entry was what he did inside the city. It was one thing to claim royal riglits over the nation; but at the temple Jesus’ claims reached far higher. It should be remem­ bered that in the eyes of all Jews at that time the Temple was abso­ lutely sacred. It represented the dwelling-place of the invisible God. Now the priests at the time were more profiteers and politicians than priests. They carried on what to­ day we call a “racket” in the sale of animals for sacrifice and in changing the ordinary money of all countries into the local Jewish shekel (in which coin alone could temple offerings be paid). The. racket was notorious; every decent Jew hated the priestly profiteers. But no one had ever done anything about it, for that would mean assum­ing on authority over the temple that no man dared to assume. But Jesus took it on himself. TTia direct and even violent action in smashing the racketeering ring was a mark of something more than ordinary self-confidence. He laid claim to being no less than the Master of God’s Temple. He was acting in the name of God and with the authority of God. « • « Master of Man W H E N THE CHRISTIAN church calls Jesus “Lord” and “King” today, we are making no claim for him which he did not make for him­ self. What we mean by these titles is that Jesus Christ, for us and for all men, is the authority above all others.

OUTSIDE ST ME - $1.00 It might be a good idea to put Herbert Hoover at the head of our government. He seems to be about the only man who has the brains to get us out of the mess we are in. Just because Congress raised the President’s salary to nearly twice what it was last year is no reason why North Carolina should raise the tax rate on gas one cent a gal­ lon. ____________ Along about this season of the year everybody has plenty of money but the editor. Now, we earnestly request all our friends throughout the country to hie themselves out into the highways and hedges and give the sons and daughters of liberty a chance to subscribe for this howling sheet, which is able to express its opin- ion without consulting bosses, politicians; preachers or promin­ ent men. To the man who re ceives a sample copy it is an in­ vitation to subscribe, it matters not what your politics or religious views are or whether you are for­ eign born or a native of South Carolina. The price is only $1 50 which will neither make or break the richest man that ever stole his neighbor’s money, or the poorest man that ever lived on potted mule. To our subscribers we would whisper a word. If you like our paper, tell your neigh­ bors and friends about it, and get them to subscribe. Go out and get some exercise. To our delin, quent subscribers — that means those who are broke, like us—we have a word of consolation. If you need the money any worse than the editor, don't send it in. If you do, you will be in danger of starvation. Cancer Ranks Second Cancer, including leukemia and Hodgkin’s disease, is now the se, cond ranking cause of death a mong children,. At the five-to nine-year-age period it leads all other diseases as a killer, statisti­ cians of the Metropolitan Life In suranee Company in New York report from a study of children insured in the company’s indus­ trial department. Death from the four principal communicable diseases of child hood, scarlet fever, diphtheria, whooping cough and measles, are now so few they are becoming a rarity, the company’s records show. The big measles year in • 1948 brought deaths from this disease above the all time low, but the 1948 figure of 0.5 per 100,- 000 for the industrial policyhold­ ers is considered ‘"favorable.” In the general population of the United States, cancer, leukemia and Hodgkin’s disease now kill well over 2,000 children each year. The death rate among the insured children was 7.1 per 100,000 in the period 1943 47, an increase of about 40 per cent, since 1930 34. The increase was slightly greater for boys than girls, and the cancer death rate among boys is now nearly one third higher than a mong girls. Leukemia is the most common type of fatal cancer in children. “W hile the figures on cancer in childhood do not make cheerful reading, the situation looks worse than It really is,” the statisticians state. They urge parents and teachers to give increasing attention to abnormal signs and svmproms which may m«an cancer in child ren. Usually mental or emotion­ al behavior, they point out. ma'y give the first clues to brain tumors in children. Miss Margaret Elizabeth Langs-1 ton, daughter of Mr, and Mrs.! W . M.

Ice Cream, Coke Make Acceptable Desserts For Nearly Every Meal THERE’S NOTHING FANCY about ice cream and cake, but they make a wonderful dessert for any occasion, plain or fancy. Then, too, there are few who can resist turning down a heaping 'bowl of creamy ice cream and a slice of feather-like cake, so you have no worry about pleasing family or guests. For youngsters who have dif­ficulty getting their daily quota of milk and other dairy foods, ice c re am is the perfect answer. T h e same is true, too, of adults who can­not drink their pint of milk. Ice cream is a highly nutritious dairy food that furnishes energy as well as minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. It also gives sig­nificant amounts of vitamins A and B2 and quality protein, all of which are needed for proper growth, strong muscles, bones and teeth. You don’t need to do anything special to make a festive dessert out of ice cream. Simply pile it in a glass bowl for easy serving A large serving bowl of ice cream siirrounded with lus­ cious fudge cup cakes topped with swirls ol chocolate frost­ing and pccan halves make a gala dessert for a festive oc­casion. Pass this with assorted sauces or jams and jellies for sundaes. ond to get the full benefit of its luscious appearance. Around the bowl you may have bought or homemade cupcakes or several bov.-is of assorted jellies, jams or sauccs for make-your-own sundaes. » » * HSRE -4RE SOME delicious cup­ cakes which you may want to serve; Fudge Cupcakes (Makes 12 cakes) 2 souares unsweetened choc- o!a!c Clip siisar 2 tablespoons railk 1 tcas;3r,on vanilia ^ i ciij) butter ei'.p sugar I i'SSIK- c’.ips sifted cake flour I 'i teaspoon baking powder H lcr>r>i!i>on baking soda ■"1 leaspn-jn salt ’■I; U cliocolate over hot water, add pne-fourtli cup sugar and two tablespoons milk; stir until very smoori!.

As an award for his accomplish­ ment, Moore received $1,000 in cash, a handsome trophy, and a special ribbon of honor, as well as an aU- expense trip to Minneapolis. Varnon H. Moore (left) of Clin­ton, Wisconsin, winner of the 1948 malting barley contest conducted in seven midwest states by the Midwest Barley Improvement Association, receives his awards from Herbert H. Ladish, treas­ urer of tiie association, in cere­monies held in Minneapolis* In addition to the regional award, Moore received the first Wisconsin state prize of $500, a county prize of $25, and state and county tro­ phies. In the' final judging, Moore’s Barley completed with samples from more than 125 carloads of the grain grown by contestants in the seven- state area. The prize-winning barley was of the Kindred variety, and was grown on 50 acres of Moore’s 186 acre farm. The prize-winning barley was se­lected by a committee of judges which included representatives of the U. S. department of agriculture. Each farmer taking part in the competition was required to enter a full carload of barley, or to join with not more than four other bar­ley growers in making up a carload shipment. Only varieties of barley approved for malting purposes in each of the seven states was ac­ cepted in the competition. Samples from contest cars were used as the basis for judging the grain. Sons or daughters of cash prize­ winners who assisted in growing the crop and who were between the ages of 12 and 21, received special farm youth award prizes equal to 10 per cent of the cash prizes won by the parent. Diy Crib Coin Leftover cake is easily glam­orized if served in this way: place two thiu slices of the cake on a plate, center with ice fruit sauce like apple-raisin, cream and top with a spicy given in tl^s column. spoon at a time, then lemon juic*. Just before serving, place the cakes on a bread board, fill centers with ice cream and cover the ice cream and all the outside of the cake with a thick layer of meringue. Bake in a moderate (375’ ) oven for five minutes and serve immedi* ately. Ice Cream Trifle 3 cups crumbled spice, pound or sponge cake 1 cnp orange juice I cup chilled pineapple juice Ice cream V2 cup chopped nuts Place cake crumbs in a large serving bowl and pour mixed fruit juices over them. ' Let stand for at least one-half hour. FiU bowl with small scoops of ice cream, then sprinkle with chopped nuts. Leftover beef, like lamb may be curried and served on hot,- fluffy rice. If hamburgers tend to look skimpy, place a thick slice of chcese on them before broiling. Add drained horseradish to med­ ium white sauce if you want to bring out delicious beef flavor in a boiled cut of the meat.Minced scallions and parsley may be added to melted butter to brmg out the full flavor of chicken, steaics or chops, which have been broiled. Farmers with com in the crib arc beginning to have a few ques­ tions in their minds. Some of the com may be quite high in moisture content and warmer weather will add to the problems of handling the corn.W. H. Sheldon, agricultural en­gineer at Michigan state college, says that wet com wiU keep indef­ initely while frozen. The problem is what to do with the wet com that is still in the crib when warmer weather returns. One solution is to feed it out before the weather warms up. How­ ever, in many cases large quanti­ties may be on hand and cannot be used rapidly. Experiments in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, have shown that heated air can be used to dry wet com. Blow­ing unheated air through the crib with a hay drier fan wiU not take out very much water, but it wUl keep the corn as cool as the air and greatly retard mold growth. Fruit Jars Usable In Fumigant Spray If the garden plot is small, J. 0. Ford, Auburn Polytechnic Insti­tute extension service garden spe­ cialist says, the correct amount of fumigant per row can best be ap­plied by using a fruit jar. A lO-or-20-penny nail hole should be made near one margin of the jar lid through which to pour the liquid. A somewhat smaller air hole is necessary near the opposite side of the lid.

Smoked UpIn the club a group of men were sitting, one of them an actor who had recently scored a great success. He had knocked aroimd the stage»for years and years without getting anywhere when the big break finally arrived. And, as a result, his head had grown to abnormal proportions.“I’m terrific,” he assured them seriously. “The entire nation is consciotis of me now. Why, a to­bacco concern had me down this afternoon and named a cigar aft­ er me.”“Wonderful!” yawned one of the group. “And for their sake, I certainly hope it will draw bet­ ter than you did for some years! Wrong CountThe newspaper publisher in the small Vermont village had mcny unique methods of stirring up reader interest in his weekly newspaper. One trick was to mis­spell words. Recently a local subscriber bturst into the publisher’s office and scornfully exclaim ed: “You’ve done it, Sam. I’ve count­ed eighteen mistakes.” “Tut, tut,” replied Sam calmly. “Try it again—there are twenty- five!” Plausible Legend o f Chopstick O rig in The origin of chopsticks—those little sticks of wood or ivory which the Chinese and Japanese use so skillfully-is lost in antiquity.

APRIL 27. 1949 Experiment for Comfort C'PH WIIiLIKER, the laziest man ^ in Jayhawk county, was con­ducting an experiment. Lolling in his favorite rocker on the front porch of his little cabin, he would turn his face to the west and rock a little while, then turn toward the south and rock some more. Chang­ing back, the experiment would go on."What’s the trouble, Eph?" his wife called out, finally attracted by his peculiar conduct. "What are ye' moving’ about so much fur?”“Jest trying’ to find out which is the easiest—rockin’ east and west with the wind, or north and south with the grain in the floor,” was Bph’s reply. New Wording The Washington biological sur­vey, which puts metal bands on •v^d birds to study their migra­tory habits, recently ordered new bands with different wording. They now read “Noti^ fish and wildlife services. Washington. D. C.” Formerly the bands said simply, "Wash. Biol. Surv,” Unofficial explanation of the change: An irate taxpayer's let­ter complained: "Sirs, I shot one of your pet crows and followed instructions. I washed it, I boiled it, and I surved it. It was terrible. Stop fooling the people.” MARKSMANSHIP A tipsy hunter was standing in a rocking boat trying to get a bead on one solitary duck flying over a lake. After weaving his rifle back and forth several times, he at last fired, and to the astonishment oi onlookers, the duck dropped. A spectator congratulated the happy huntsman on his line marksman­ ship under such adverse conditions.His modest answer was, “Well, out of the whole flock up there, I ought to get at least one.” Radio Influence Sammy’s father was an ardent radio fan. Every evening he had special programs to which he listened, but of them all his favor­ite was a “continued” mystery thriller. The four-year-old couldn’t take It all in, but he was quite content to sit for hours in his father’s lap, listening to the music and dialogue pouring from the speaker. So his mother was not particu­ larly stirptised to hear him con­clude his little prayer one night with the announcement;‘‘Tomorrow night at this time there will be another prayer!” Run.

Our First Engineer The beaver is n<it only one of the most resourceful of small animals but also one of the most industrious, and m many respects most useful. The beaver is the world’s first engi­ neer, and as such, its industrial traits are valuable to man and beast. For their value as engineers, beavers often are carried to 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. No sooner than given a new job—and tliey like a new undertaking — these sharp- toothed workers start gnawing down trees for dam building material. When spring rains swell the streams their dams prevent the washing away of valuable topsoil, preserve timber supply and aid in beautifying the landscape. .save Cai>bage Leaves. There are saving ways to use outer leaves of cabbage that so often g >t thrown away. They can be saveJ and even used in cooked cabbage dishes or cole slaw if you treat them right. Just trim away any spotted or bruised places, sprinkle with water and crisp in the hydrator or other covered pan in the refrigerator. Remember that cabbage contains a high awiount of vitamin C.
