R4 As we look npon a great build* Ing, we realize that It Is pomnosed of thousonds and maybe mlHionc of nifces. F.flch and e^c^v »'tec<*. whether it be atone, brick, iron, steel, wool, cement, rods, screws, etc., has its place. It is true tliat some pieces have a more import, ant and prominent place In tbe strucmre than others, but It takes all to make the building complete. We might think of a great ma chine In like mannei. Perhaps thousands of part, are- assembled, and every piece Is necessary, to make the machine It may be the atttomoblle you drive, or tbe lino- type that vou gperate that sets tbe tyoe for your newspaper, or the massive press that prints the paper or rhe machine or machines that make the clothes we wear, and so on. For tbe machine to do good work each and every part sbowld fnnction properlv. If bolts break, screws get loose, taps come off. or some other part or parts of the machine break, or give wav. or get out order, It affects the entire strncture. As a people in a community, or a church, or even a home, each and everv one of w has his place. Then we might think of It on * larger scale and say the same hoI<*s rne as n ^tlo n, composed of many millions of people, but each and every one. without an exception, composes, or helps to compose, the whole This Is true. Now just as tbe great bnlldine, oa tbe great machine, composed of ,manv parts, must have each piece in fts place In order to function well, so It is with peonle. Entirely too many think that thev are such a small part of the home, the church, tbe community, and especially the nation, until It doesn’t make any difference how much they are out of harmonv with God and their fellowmen. Cer tainly It makes difference. Every nerson who Is out of his proper and rightfni plare In life *«elp5 to affect tbe whole citizenship. In order to have neach and harmony, each and everv individual should fill bis rightful place. Now TmeTo Fight The national congress has start, ed work on the super duper com* bulsory medical Insurance propo. sat. which is just a polite way to talk about socialized niedicine. Now Is the time for the Amerl can people to fight the soclallstle trend in government. Tbe people now can put a halt to this creep* ing philosophy that government can take ca e of us better than we cao take care of ourselves. It is high time, and possibly past time, that tbe American people assert some Independence and again as. sume personal responsibllitv for tbcir own needs. The nation is growing soft with tbe increasing dependence on government to sup* ply everydav needs. It Is proposed that a payroll tax be levied to pay for socialized me dicine. Wc already have payroll tax for social seeurity and job in surance. In addition to these fixed taxes there Is the withholding tax. Already too much ot payrolls are going in taxes and it is time tobalt. (be trend which would eventually have US all working for tbe govern, ment, in which event we would get what wc have from government, a. long with orders on how to live, where to live, at wbat ]ob to work, what to wear or not to wear—in fact. goveruL ent would direct our every move.One sure way to give up liberty is to give up yonr pay check in taxes and revive what yon have to have from the government itself. There is no way more sure and positive to lose your individual liberty. —Wilkes Joumol, ANXTHING TO PLEASE After going alwut three miles the motorist who had given an old lady a lift on the country road asked; “And where did you say you were going?” “Well,” she said, “to tell you the truth, I was going in the opposite direction, only I didn’t like to hurt your feelings when you were so kind as to offer me a ride.” HAD ENOVGH The girl in the bus took her powder puff from her pocket and began powdering her face. That finished, she took out her lipstick and made up the curves of her month. Still not content with her appearance, she devoted her attention to her eye brows.This beauty treatment was too much for the conductor, who had been watching her every movement, and he called out; "An; gent here like to borrow my shaving tockle?” GRAVE THOUGHTS A soldier, after placing some flow ers on a grave in a cemetery, noticed an old Chinaman placing a bowl of rice on a near-by grace. "What time do you expect your friend to come up and eat the rice?” asked the soldier.The old Chinaman replied, with a smile: “Same time your fliend come up to smell flowers.” MistakeA rookie in the cavalry was told to report to his lieutenant. “Private Jones,” said the lieutenant, “take my horse down and have him shod.” After three hours’ wait, the officer hunted up Jones and found him cleaning his gun. "Jones,” he said, “where’s the horse I told you to have shod?” The private turned pale and gasped, “Oh, did you say shod?” Flatterer Daughter. “I met the best-looking young officer at the dance, and he told me I was the prettiest girl he had ever seen.” Mother: “Now, my dear, don’t trust any man who starts to deceive you at the very first meeting.” Ongbt to Know Girl (quizzing sailor home on leave)—What would you do if your gun captain’s head was blown off in the midst of a battle?Sailor—Nothing. Girl—Why not? Sailor—I’m the gun captain. Which? The conceited young man was even more boring than usual. “It’s a fact,” he said with pride, “that people often take me for a member of the Guards.” His pretty companion wasn’t im- Wbo Else? NOT SO WONDERFUL The fortmie-teller was gazing at her client’s hand.“I see yon are to be married. Tott are gomg to marry Herbert Smith,” she announced.The girl was amazed.“Wonderfol! But how c4n yon tell that from tbe lines on my hand?” “Lbies, my foot!” the fortuneteller replied. “That’s the ring I returned to Herbert Smith last week!” A YOUNG woman went Into a large London store to buy • pair of birds. She told the salesman the varied she wished, and that she desired a male and a female. The birds were finally selected and handed to her. She then asked the salesman how she could tell the difference between the two. He instructed her to go to another store to buy a supply ;of male and female worms, and told her that when she fed the worms to the birds, the male bird would al ways eat the female worms—while the female birds would eat the male worms. She thanked him and went on her way. When she got to the door, she turned, and came back to the salesman and said: “I,must be stupid, but how am I going'to tell whidh are the male and which are the female worms?” And his reply was: "Madam, I am only a bird expert; you will have to See a worm expert about that.” Saving Money A MAN, visiting a house for the first time, found that his host was the proud father of three wild children. The latter made so much noise that the visitor found it diffi cult to hear a word that was said. One child was busy ripping the upholstery out of a brand-new divan. A second lad was driving nails into an expensive table, and the third was swinging gaily from a chandelier. The bewildered guest eyed the youngster who was driving nails into the furnitiure. He turned to his host.“1 say,” he said, pointing to. the boy witt the hammer, “don’t you find it rather expensive to let your children play like that?” The host smiled proudty.“Not at all,” he replied cheer fully. “I get the nails wholesale!” CONSISTENT He was talkmg of coincidences: “The most amazing thing happened to me at the races. It was the eleventh day of the eleventh month. My boy was eleven that day. We lived in a house nimibered eleven, and I arrived on the course, at eleven minutes past eleven. 'Later in the day I foimd out that eleven horses were to run in the big raCe, so I backed the eleventh horse on the card.” “And it won?”"No. It came in eleventh.” Uncle Sam Says “Really,” she drawled. “8hin — mud—«r black?” Yon American ckizeni who hara bera looking for an opportunity to lake «ome aggi«mive action which will express faith in ^onr connlry are now b e ^ given that chance.

T rm tu n t Depa rtm m t Increased Calcium in Diet Recommended os Investment Getting barely enough calcium in milk or other dally food to meet the body’s current need is not the best plaiming for good nutrition.“When calcium is increased to a more generous level, the human body is able to put the added amount to use for long-range needs. That is, the added amount of this : mineral is a good investment toward sturdy, healthy bones, ft aids old people no less than young adults. In women of child-bearing age, it even extends its benefits to future generations.”That is the meaning of the new recommendations for increased calcium in diets of grown men and women of all ages, arrived at by tbe National Research coimcil. In advising more calcium for adults, the coimcil’s food and nutrition board and committee on dietary allowances reviewed scientific knowl edge on calcium need, and took special not* recent laboratory ftaidings. Putting the new calcium recom mendations in terms of daily food, the easiest way to plan regularly for calcium needs is to get plenty of milk and its products in diet. Ranking next as good sources of this mineral arc dried beans and peas and certain of the leafy green vegetables such as turnip greens and kale, but it Is difficult to get enough calcium without milk prod ucts and especially some liquid milk. Famed Indian Cave Temples Still Stand in Hyderabad Hyderabad state, which yidded to &e Indian Union after five days of military action, was virtually the last of 562 princely Indian states to hold out against accession by either of the year-old dominions—India and Pakistan. In area, population, material wealth, historical and religious im portance, this landlocked state that spreads almost completely across the Deccan plateau in south central India is outstanding. Glories of earlier civilizations, centered in the cave cathedrals of Ajanta and El- lora, make it one of the world’s rich regions archaeologically, notes the National Geographic society. Ruled for 37 years by its present Nizam, Hyderabad compares roughly in area and population to Pennsylvania and Ohio combined. Sbc-sevenths of the 17-million population is Hindu, but the Nizam and his nobles are of tbe Moslem one- seventh. Almost two-fifths of the land is owned by the small ruling group. Despitfe this arrangement, which finds the ruler adding cash, bullion, jewels and other property to coffers that make him a billionaire, the lot of Hyderabad’s masses has been improved through the Niz am’s reign. Irrigation dams have advanced farming, cottage workers in textiles have benefited from special training, and new indus tries have sprung up. New Farms Have Curves Farm units fitted to the pattern of their irrigation water supply is a new style in bringmg new land into production. Electric current for pumping is proving a convenient tool for tailoring a good fit of the farm and its water, Ivan D. Wood „ the U. S. department of agriculture points out. Wood, who is an irrigation engineer of tbe Soil Conservation service, says the unlined irrigation canal is losing out be cause it is so wasteful of water and has other bad features, such as car rying weed seeds to clean fields. In some new irrigation developments, the boundaries between farms or between fields in a farm are no longer the straight north-and-south and east-and-west lines of the gen eral land office survey. "Instead, the farm units are designed to irri- gate to the best advantage.” FLOWERS CUT FLOWERS DESIGNS POTTED PLANTS SEE THEM AT Davie Florist Wilkesboto St. Phone 22^ W Seen Along Main Street By The Street Rambler. 000000 Barbara Vogler and Betty_ Jo Mock coming out of dental par lor looking not too happv—Miss Ruth Smith pausing a few min* utes in drug store—Covered wag" on, hitched to auto, rolling across the square—^Betty Ann Turner on her wav to gift shop—Mrs. Baxter Young driving brand new Pontiac sedan down M aiii street—Young couple walking across Main street holding hands - Mrs. Frank Fow ler carrying bunch of beautiful pansies into jewelry store—:Betty Shelton hurrying toward beauty shop—Lee Baker consulting with old friends in front of hardware store—^Edwina Long carrying arm load of books up Main street- Tim Kelly trying to work his way into bank—Dorothy Morris carry ing tennis racquet down Main St. Sheek Bowden discussing baseball game-Mrs. James Murray and little son entering theatre—Dick Brenegar running 30 minutes late. Our County And Social Security By Mrs. Ruth G. Duffy. Manager. Most all magazines carry sotne kind of test. One I noticed re cently asked questions about my own State—North Carolina, lean assure you I did not know the answers to all. It did make me think, however, and find the an swers to those I did not know. How much do you know about Social Security Insurance? Do you know what it means in dollars and cents to you, personally, and to your ^imily if you should die? So today a test, which is not actu ally one in the truest sense for I not only asking the questions but answermg them. The ques tions are ones that have been ask ed by persons coming to the of fice or writing me. Maybe anoth er time I will only state the ques- dons and a»k you to write me your answers. W ould you do this? I believe you would. Here are a few of the typical questions that are asked: Question: Can a worker start drawing benefits as soon as he reaches 65? Answer He can if he has work ed long enough on jobs that come under Social Security and has stopped working on these kinds of jobs. Question: A n income after I stop working sounds fin ^ but is Social Security really^paying off? Answen It certainly is. Every month more than 45 million dol lars in Social Security checks go out to retired workers and to the widows and children of workers who have died. Question; Where does all the money paid out in benefits come from? * Answer: From you and m il lions of others like you, aiid from your employers. One cent of ev erv dollar you earn up to $3,000 a year goes into a trust fund that is used to pay benefits. Bvery cent you put in is matched by your employer. Question: Do benefits have to be claimed? Answer: Yes. A claim must be filed before paymente begin. This is why I urge every worker to call or write to my office when he reaches 65. This is also why the family'of a worker who has died should get in touch with me. I will be in Mocksville on Wed nesday, June 22, at the court house, second floor, at 12:30 p. jn.

But his mother had always been keen about amateur theatricals; at a tender age he had appeared in a play with her. When he was eight he was making puppets and putting on shows at local church bazaars. So, when half way SANDY BECKER through pre-medical school, he abandoned the career of Ws fa ther’s choice and chose a branch of his mother’s hobby, radio. He has hobbies of his own, sculpturing and sketching in winter, playing tennis or golf in summer, but baby-sitting with his son and daughter limits his free time. Cathy Downs, who is featured in Allied Artists’ “Massacre River,” is knitting like mad, all because she posed in six knitted dresses for a fashion layout, liked them, and decided she coidd duplicate them herself.

Wilkinson •Corner r SEEMS to be universally presupposed,” said Inspector Ben Odell, “that people who aren’t in their own element are at a disad vantage.“I’m thinking of the time Detec tive Sergeant Rod Upshur went up to Round Pond for his summer vacation. Rod was city bred and city raised. He worked on the police force of one of the country’s largest cities. He didn’t know a great deal about the country and country ways. But he knew human nature, and he was smart. ----------- “Rod was stay-3-Minute ing at one of those Fiction summer camps and was having a pretty dull time, when Henry Graves, the owner, came to him with a request. “ ‘There’s been a drowning np the river a ways’, he explain ed. ‘Jed Thomas, the local officer. Isn’t so sure bnt what there’s fool play. I know it’s out of your jnrlsdicfion, bnt we’d appreciate having you lend ns a hand.’ He smiled flatteringly. ‘You see, your tame as a detector of crime is far reaching.’ “Jed Thomas, a farmer by trade, was congenial and willing to let Rod assume the entire burden.“ ‘Fact is, Mr. Upshur, there’s been a feud hereabouts. Between the Hallams and the Spencers.“ ‘Well, sir, couple days back Herm and P i ^ Hallam come to me an’ says they was bait diggin’ in their lower pasture and sudden^ they sees a boat with Pat Spencer in it come sweepin’ around the bend. He was clear across the river, which is about 200 yards wide there, an’ they claim he hit a submerged log and stuck. They claim he tried to push Itself off with an oar an’ the oar slipped an’ it an’ him fell overboard. Well, sir, Pat can’t swim an’ he just naturally drowned.“Jed Thomas drove Rod out to the Hallam farm and introduced him to Herm and Punk. They were big strapping fellows, smug, amused. “ ‘I see,’ Rod remarked to Jed, ‘that you recovered the oar Pat Spencer lost overboard.’ “ ‘Yep,’ replied Jed, and not too happily, ‘I foimd it caught in some weeds along the bank about 15 yards downstream. I guess he musta lost it, just like Punk and Herm said.’ “Punk and Herm laughed. “ ‘Wait a minute,’ Rod said easily. ‘Not so fast, boys. You two are smart all right. Too smart. So smart you made one awful blunder. Officer Thomas, I think you’ll be safe in arresting these men and charging them with murder.’PAT’S AND HERM’S mouths fell open. In fact, so did Jed’s. Jed said: “Yuh mean, you know Pat didn’t drown hisself^’ “ ‘O’ course he did!’ Punk Ballam said darkly. ‘Listen, eity jigger, you ata’t cornin’ up here an’ gettin’ away with ac- cnsin’ us o’ murder. You ain’t searin’ us none. We got each other for witnesses.’ " ‘Fine,’ said Rod. ‘That makes the lie all the worse, because you both declare you saw Spencer f ^ out of the boat, first dropping his oar. No, I must confess I am a city man and the ways of the coun try are strange to me. However, any dumbbeU would know after looking at that river and see ing that bend above here and know ing that there’s a fast current, that an oar dropped overboard near the opposite bank, could never lodge in underneath along the bank on this side 15 feet from where we’re standing. It would be two or three nules down stream by now.’ “For a minute, there was silence. The three men stared at Rod blank ly. It took quite awhile for the an nouncement to penetrate. Officer Thomas fortimately, recovered first. He had a gun in his pocket and he got it out, just as Punk Halam jumped at him. He had to shoot Punk through the shoulder, and would have done the same to Herm, apparently, had one more ounce of grey matter than his brother. He quit.” ACROSS 1 Single sheet of a bookSVaUey(poet)9 Donkey 10 Musical drama12 Rage13 Attendant spirits (Rom.

One of theni seemed quite intent on the match, following the ball back and forth without missing a stroke.

A young bride went into a butcher shop.“Now here’s a very fine ham that’s been home cured,” said the butcher. “Home cured?” asked the brid.e. “My goodness, haven’t you got one that hasn’t been ill at all?” At Long Last “Bridget,” said Mrs. Smith-Brown to her old servant on the day of the big reception, “I want you to stand at the drawing room door and call the guests’ names as they arrive.” Bridget’s face lighted up. “With pleasure, ma’am,” she said. ‘Tve been waiting to do that to some of your friends for years.” Nobody Barred The family had overslept, and Mrs. Smith woke with a start tQ the clanking of cans down the street. She remembered that the garbage had not been put out, and raced down to the front door strug gling into a robe, with her hair in curlers and lookhig rather sleepy- eyed. “Yoo hoo,” she called, “am 1 too late for the garbage?”"No,” shouted the collector. “Jiunp right in.” CHEAPER THAT WAX A magician was raving about himself to a producer. “I do a great act, Mr. Geckle.

C. -----------WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS----------- Russian Motives Puzzle Dipiomats As Berlin Blockade Comes to End; U. S. Spending Widely Criticized (EDlTOR^S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in tlicse coliimns, t Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of are those of : newspaper.) BLOCKADE LIFT PREPARATIONS . . . Preparations to get things ready for the Russian lift of the Berlin blodtade went bnsiljr ahead as agreements between the occupation powers fixed flie time. Photos above show workers getting trains ready to operate under regula tions fixed by the Soviets—rules which will permit 16 freight trains to operate daily into the city. Efficacy of the U.S. airlift in supplying Berlin mth needed supplies despite the blockade was given major credit for the Reds’ decision to end tbe road Mock. BERLIN: Up The Barriers What had really Impelled the Russians to lift the Berlin blockade and how would the action affi'ct world peace?Those were two top questions actuating western power diplomats as a semblance of peace was restored to the troubled Berlin sec tor of Germany and the U.S. airlift eased off.MANY OBSERVERS professed to see in the Russian action proof that the U.S. airlift operations had shown the Soviets so decisively the futility of m aintaining the block ade, that even the obtuse eastern ers finally had seen the light.There were others who insisted the blockade lift decision was motivated by a hope within the Kremlin that such an action would delay formation of a German people’s government. However, this did not seem a tenable theory, inasmuch as the western powers already had declared plans to go ahead with such a project.Seekers of peace attempted to see in the decision evidence fta t Russia really did not mean to make war now and that some as-yet-obscinre motive looking toward continuation of Red expansion without recourse to arms was really behind the move. SINCE MOSCOW’S original announcement concerning the end to the blockade, the order was broadened. Restoration of “transport, trade and communications” serv ices was directed.The order permitted 16 freight trains a day to move into Berlin, restored highway traffic, waived previous Soviet claims to search Al lied baggage, and demanded Soviet travel permits at certain check points. M ail service was also to be restored. Actually, the Soviet order restored the Berlin situation to what it was on March 1, 1948.Both British and Americans moved in reinforcements for the sm all units at border points to check papers of travelers and hotels and rooming houses had filled with persons waiting for the barriers to be raised.

H E LIVES in the Stamp & Coin Shop on Times Square in New York.A customer tried to enter the store, but foimd the door locked.However, as he turned away he heard Lorchen’s Insistent screams: “Let me out! Goodbye, goodbye.”Intrigued, the customer listened closer, heard m idfled moans &om inside the shop. He SUMMONED a building superintendent who opened the door and found Gustave Moerz, 50, the parrot’s owner and shop proprietor, bound in a chair by tape and wire. His mouth was taped, Moerz told police two men broke into the shop, tied him and took $644 from a safe and $100 from his pockets. PEEK INTO FUTURE Nuclear Scientist Gives Definition of His Kind In Baltimore, nuclear scientist Robert D . Fowler, of Jobns Hopkins UnlTcrsity, gave this definition of a nuclear scientist to a group of govenunent offi cials at a symposium: A man standing in a field in absolute darkness with thoa- sands of baseballs on the ground around him . Somewhere in the field, invisible to him , is a ham with but one window and some kind of animals inside. The m an picks up a ball and throws it in any direction. If, by some chance, it goes through the ham window and hits the anim al, then bounces oat again so that the man can catch it in the darkness—he attempts to iden tify the anim al by smelling the ball.That is something like a n n 0 1 e a T scientist practicing nuclear science. SPENDING: Slash Urged Suggestions that O.S. spending m ight be curtailed somewhat were coming from several quarters. Lat est source was President Trtmian’s economic advisers who held the idea that some existing tax burdens m ight be lightened and that the administration m ight scale down its call for four billion dollars in new levies. THE COUNCIL of economic ad visers, whose function is to counsel with the President on fiscal matters as they affect finance and economics, was reported to feel that cur rent business trends justify an early check on federal spending— that is, if the budget is to be brought anywhere near to a balance. It was the council’s opinion that such levies as taxes on the trans portation of goods add to the busi ness costs and coasvrner prices and impede an orderly vtrithdrawal from the postwar business boom.The council was more than cool to any extended public works pro gram -indicating its opinion by refraining from making any such recommendations in its report. The advisers have consistently ' urged that local governments prepare “shelves” of public-works blueprints for use when needed to bol ster emplo3rment and public purchasing power. BUT THE PRESENT trend of the national economy—^which council chairman Edwin G. Nourse called a “healthy disinflation”—does not warrant large-scale works spending now, the council said. Such outlays would make it harder to reach the goal of lower government costs. After a White House visit, Nourse informed newsmen that the council expects “some further easing of living costs.” Prices, he said, are continuing downward, but “not on a demoralizing basis and there is no need to dig into the storm cellars.” ROAD SAFETY: For Boys & Girls In the year 1947—figures for last year are not yet available—National Safety Council figures showed that 7,150 persons between the ages of 15 and 24 were killed In automobile accidents on American highways. In addition 330,000 boys and girls within that age group were injured in highway accidents. ACCIDENT REPORTS from' 29 states last year disclosed that 27 per cent of all drivers involved in accidents — or nearly one out of three — were under 25 years of age. That was an appalling toU of the nation’s youths and something, it appeared, should be done about it. Now, something was being done about it. The Inter-Industry high way safety committee had come up with a program designed to enlist the aid of youth itself in cut ting down highway accidents and fatalities among the nation’s youth. The program is one of education which would tend to encourage greater responsibility on the part of younger drivers when using the family car. Program m aterial now is being distributed to national organizations which agree to help sponsor the movement. The pro gram is centered around drivers 15 to 25 years of age. CHIEF INTEREST-and-coopera- tion-getter in the program are “m an-to-ma n” and “Dad-to- Daughter” agreement cards. The agreements are for the signature Df eligible sons and daughters with their fathers, and outline eight good driving practices which the young drivers agree to observe ivhile using the fam ily car. All state and local public support organizations were urged to take advantage of this opportunity to help reduce highway traffic ac- :idents involving youngsters.Those interested were directed to write: Inter-Industry highway safety committee, 1026 17th street, W ., Washington 6, D. C. //HEAT YIELD: .'lear-Record Crop With wheat surplus already straining grower and governmental ngenuity in housing it, word was hat the United States may ap proach a new crop record during ;he new season. Farmers, already )ff to a good start, were not sur- wised at a U.S. department of >griculture estimate of more than > billion, 21 m illion bushels from he winter-.wheat crop. That esti- nate was nearly two mQlion leveral weeks ago.No official forecast was given on ipring wheat, but the department said prospects point to around 300 nillion bushels for that type of vheat. OFFICIALS indicated the tre- nendous wheat yield vdll create hirther surplus and m ight lead to jovernment controls designed to :ut the acreage in 1950 between IS »nd 25 per cent. Controls would in- Jlude planting restrictions and possibly marketing quotas for in- iiv id u ^ farmers. No forecasts were given on other 5rops except rye, hay and southern peaches. But the department said .•eports from various parts of the Jountry indicated progress of 1949 :rops is encouraging. Rye produc- don was estimated at 22 m illion jushels, second smallest acreage a 75 years. The hay crop was put It 101 m illion tons, a more than iverage yield. The peach crop in ;0 southeastern states wias fore- :ast at approximately 15 m illion )ushels, about the same as last rear.

Answer: Yes, writes Dr. R . Bilz in a German medical journal. “A mood always occurs simiiltan- eously on the physical and psy chological level.” Even the expression on your face m ay be 'mimicked internally” by what a doctor discovers with a stomach- pump and X-rays, so that when your mood is tense and anxious, your “ulcers” reveal the facts as clearly as your eyes do. If you want to have a good digestion, you’d better at least avoid the far too common practice of airing your grievances and worries at the dinner table. Is recklessness based on fear? Answer: Yes. Most frequently the urge to “flirt with danger” represents an effort to avoid the shame of being thought a coward, and stiU more of being forced to rec ognize how frightened you’d be if you “stopped to think about it.” But again, you m ay be bolstering your belief in your “luck”—^whicH at bottom means your childish con fidence in your parent’s power to protect you from the consequences of your folly. A truly brave person never incurs needless risks because he does not have to prove he can face danger if he has to. Is having been “tight’' an excuse for rudeness? Answer: Only in the degree that the person you are asking to ex cuse your bad behavior w ill ac cept the fact that you have rude impulses which you are able to control when you are sober. For what you said or did was not “for eign to your nature”—it was an expression of a part of yourself which you did not wish to reveal or acknowledge under ordinary circumstances. Indeed, it was probably a wish to give tE s side of yourself an airing that uncon sciously induced you to anesthetize your inliibitions by drinking unwisely.

Barton BECAUSE the liver has so many different jobs to do and the liver means so much to our general health, we should all try to remem ber that it is the largest organ in the body and contains about 25 per cent of all the blood.One of the jobs of the liver is manufacturing bile which breaks up fats for digestion. It is an anti septic destroying harm ful organisms and a natural purgative pre venting constipation. It is, therefore, a true saying that “life depends upon the liver.”Another im portant job is the manufacture by the liver of a substance needed by the blood.Aside from the bile killing harmful organisms, the liver cells them selves filter out poisons from the blood, which, if not removed, would cause tiredness and weakness. In order to find whether or not the liver is doing this im portant job of filtering wastes and poisons from the blood, various tests are made, one of which is giving a dye by mouth or injections and seeing how long it takes the liver to remove aU the dye from the blood. Recently' research workers, investigating two common ailments— gallstones and ulcer of the stomach and the first part of the sm all intestine (peptic ulcer)—took a tiny piece of the liver from these pa tients for examination under the microscope and foxud that in only 6 to -7 per cent was the liver to a normal, healthy condition. As the liver is really the “chief’ or most im portant organ in. the body from the health standpotot, we should a ll try to keep it active and healthy by two simple methods: First, cutting down on fa t and rich foods; and, second, keeping the liver m an “ active” condition by bending exercises, keeptog the knees straight.At M cG ill university, Montreal, some years ago, research workers showed that squeezing the liver by bending exercises or deep breathing caused the liver to do its var ious jobs completely and in less tim e. It was a rough day for London nerchants. Thousands of women lesieged west end stores in the big- 'est nylon stocking hunt London tad ever seen. Crowds, mcludmg ome men waited outside the stores it dav'n. But it was in vain.The London Standard had an- lounced the sale, but didn’t men- lon that only 500 pairs of hose were ssued to each of the 10 leading tnres. HEALTH NOTES The economic cost of heart disease is staggering in terms of loss of life, absenteeism, disability, loss of gainful employment, and care and treatment programs.• « * It has been found that insulin— which reduces the sugar in the blood, brtogs on sleep and increases the appetite—is more effective m restoring the alcoholic patient to normal than any other method. While the passing of blood is but one sympton of cancer of the gen erative and urinary parts, it is one of the early signs and gives the patient a chance for successful treatment. Formerly, patients and, sometimes, physicians were lulled into false security by thinking that when the bleeding stopped, the progress of the underlying cause also stopped. But such is not the case.

Farben, the notorious Nazi cartel, developed for German troops and civilians in the last war. The Ger man people lived on "ersatz” dur ing most of the war. The extent of this Farben-izing of -ta-.erican food, unbeknown to the consumer, has been partiaUy investigated by tlie food and drug administration, which has been holding hearings on the use of syn thetic substitutes. However, the whole story hasn’t been told the public, chiefly because of official buck- passing. Food and drug officials wring their hands and say they have no authority under the law for a full-fledged inves tigation. They adm it, however, that more and mote chemical sulistitutes are being used in various foods and that they do not know what the final result will be on the health of the nation. Meanwhile Republican Kep. Frank Keefe of Wisconsin, who has been Quizzing the food and drug administration, has made some startling disclosures. He charged. 1—That bread can and is being chemicalized to a point where it has little if any nutritional value; 2—That non-nutritional chemicals, “mostly the result of the work of I. G. Farben chemists,” are being palmed off on the vmsuspecting public, in place of m ilk, fats and eg?s in such foods as cake, dough nuts, cereal mixes, peanut butter, ice cream, candy, salad dressing, milk drinks, synthetic whipping cream, Dickies and food flavors; 3—Manufacturers and pharm a ceutical houses that produce syn thetic foodstuffs have not made adequate research to determine if the substitutes are poisonous. While there is no proof of toxicity in most of the substitutes, Keefe points out that seven persons died after using a sub.=;titute salt prepared for peo ple who cannot use organic sal' in their diet. Taste Comes First The synthetic ingredient which many bakers now use in bread is a compound of polyoxyethylene glycol and stearic acid, loiown as polyoxyethylene monos tearate Stearic acid is derived from anim al fats, liu t polyoxyethylene glycol, a substance sim ilar to purified anti freeze for automobiles, has no nutritional value. The American compound is pro duced chiefly by the Atlas powder company of W ilmington, Del., and Glyco products company of Brooklyn and is distributed in slightly different forms under the trade names "Sta-soft” and “Myrj-45.” Both keep bread soft for a long period, so that a housewife who feels a loaf of bread in a grocery store thinks she is getting oven- fresh bread. In fact, this deceptive quality- plus a pleasing taste the chemical gives the bread—is the chief selling point'of its distributors. Vernon C. Usher, Inc., of Chicago, which makes a somewhat sim ilar synthetic compound called “Top-scor,” frankly states, in his literature. “In speaking of higher quality, we mean products that not only look good, but are appealing to ihe sense of taste as weil . , . bakery goods that arc not overburdened with fats and other richness to the point where substantially less Is eaten. "We believe that every person— man, woman or child—eats and drinks only that which appeals to the sense of taste, with little or no thought of nutritional value; so, we emphasize again, that higher quality bakery goods, in our opinion, are attained by balancing for mulas to a point where they are not overburdened with rich substances which, in the end, tend to discourage and decrease consumption.” Farm Buying Power Still Shows Gains Increase Well Above Cost of Living Rate The current drop in living costs has given the average city wage- eam er approximately the same buying power today that he enjoyed In June, 1946, final month of CPA. Though the farm er’s buying power has edged off with the drop in food prices it is bumping against government price supports, and still shows a gain that is w e i over double the increase in the cost of living, according to a chart stu(^ of our ten-year-old war boom, made by the fam ily economics bureau of Northwestern National Life Insurance company. Ten years ago last winter you could buy a new four-door sedan for $825, sirloin steak was 39 cents a pound, m ilk averaged liVz cents a quart, and you could build a five-room modem house for around $3,000—but we had 10 mUlion unemployed. Then European rearma m ent orders sparked our recovery Federal Warning One government agency that is carefully watching on this nutri tional question is tiie department of agriculture. The department for- sees not only higher support prices for surplus dairy products, costing the taxpayers m illions, but a serious economic threat to dairy farm ing if chemicals come into wide vogue. In a confidential report prepared for agriculture secretary Charles Brannan, Ralph Trigg, chief of the production and marketing division, points out:“It is our opinion that the department should object to the approval of chemical soft eners as acceptable ingredients in baking formulas, because of the effect on the health of the nation, since evidence indicates that the substitution of chemical softeners for fats, eggs and m ilk considerably reduce the food value of the product. 1940 'l»4l'1947 'Id4»''1944 1945 ' ! # The above cbart plots the coarse of the 10-year war boom. In January, 1939, America had 10 m illion unemployed and 41 mU lion at work. Annual net in come per farm was $702. Indus tria l wages averaged $34 a week, an annual rate of $1,248. from a nine-year-old depression, the study recalls. After an even 10 years of recov ery, boom, inflation, and tapering off, flie score stands as follows: Net annual income per farm 300 per cent higher—it was $702 in 1939, reached $2,915 in 1948, and had sagged to an annual rate of $2,800 by January, 1949. Weekly industria l wages up 130 per cent—^from $24 in January of ’39 to approxim ately $55 in January of ’49. Liv ing coste 71 per cent higher than 10 years ago, after nearly a four- point drop in the last few months. Finally, about ttu;ee m illion unemployed—a norm al “float”, as economists call it. Wage rates show a gain of 26 and a half per cent since June, 1946, while the cost of living index now stands just 28 per cent higher than in that final month of OPA. The actual living cost increase has been somewhat less than 28 per cent, the study says, since the government index naturally makes no allowance for over-ceiling prices which were general in the latter months of OPA; thus the wage- earner’s paycheck of today buys him as much or sliglitly more than his paycheck of June, 1946, the study finds. Percentage increases in worker paychecks do not reflect sharp additional gains made in so-called “fringe” payments dtiring the past decade, such as more vacations, holidays, sick-leave, pension pro grams, etc., the study points out.

Some people like to sprinkle their melon with salt. A combination of melon balls in a sherbet glass gives a lovely rainbow effect. Serve this well chilled as a dessert, with the melon balls floating in orange juice. Slices of cake which have become a little stale may also be topped with sweetened berries for a simple, economical dessert.A bowl or a basket of assorted fruits and berries makes a beautiful dessert for a porch supper be it fam ily or party. Pieces of fresh pineapple, combined with fresh whole berries and sliced bananas form the basis of a nice dessert fruit cup. Fresh currants, sugared and chilled make a nice dessert duo with fresh red raspberries.

Lesson for June S, 1949 T AST JANUARY a m an in Holland wrote to the high court of the new nation of Israel, petitionmg for a review, now nearly 2,000 years afterwards, of the trial of Jesus by the court at Jeru salem in the year 30 A. D. That court may never review the case, and per haps has no legal right to do so. But history h a s re viewed it, and re versed it. Jesus -Dr. Foreman was tried by at least fotir tribunals on the early morning of the first Good Friday. But the verdict of history Is that the courts were guilty, one and all, while the prisoner was innocent, *. * • Sentence first. Verdict afterwards R E S ID E S the inform al hearing be- " f o r e the ex-high priest Annias, there was the form al trial before the High Priest Caiaphas. He presided over the Sanhedrin, the su preme court of the Jews at that tune. It was a learned tribunal, venerated aU over the Jewish world. As the lawyers m ight say, its w rit ran everywhere; its decisions were, quoted as precedent in Alexandria, Babylon, Spam. Yon m ight hpve expected it to be dignified, honor able. But not on that night, with that victim . You m ight as well expect a pack of wolves, starved in m idwinter, to be dignified and hon orable with a sheep in fheir circle. These men, and their intim ate friends, had been de scribed by the Prisoner, not long before, in words fiiat stack in their brains like arrowheads. “Whited sepnlchres . . . fall of a ll ancleanness . . . ye say, and do not . . . yet devour widows’ houses . . . blind guides . . . offspring of vipers. . .” If there had been any hope that they m ight change, Jesus would not have used such words. So they had made up their m uids: He must die; Now was their hour, while the city slept. Leader of the pack was this Caiaphas. As the farce of a trial went on and the high priest by grace of Rome faced Jesus, High Priest by the grace of (Jod, what did he see in Jesus’ eyes? • • « That Fox TF CAIPHAS was a wolf, Herod ^ was a fox. It was Jesus’''nick- name for him . On that A pril morning this fox had the surprise of his lifetim e. Before he could collect his wits, he was facing the very m an whom his private police force had been vainly trying to arrest—Jesus of Nazareth. Two kings faced each other in Herod’s hall that morning. The one wearing a robe and crown, seated on some kind of throne, was one of the most un-kingly men who ever bore the royal title. The other, in plainest citizens’ clothes, and no crown, no throne to be seen, was the one real khig who has lived among men. • • • “Suffered Under ;Pontius Pilate” pO N T IU S PILATE, procurator of Judea, deputy plenipotentiary of his Im perial Majesty, sat on his t judgm ent seat and lo o k ^ at Jesus. Six times he had looked at iiim ; six times he had made certain tiiat this young prisoner was an innocent m an, and six times he had said so, even in the face a t the mob.' The noises in the street confused him . He could not hear, down through the centuries, the voices of m illions of men, women and chil* dren, rising up weds after week and repeating the words, almost like a curse: “—and hi Jesus (% rist. His only Son, our Lord, who . . . suffered under Pontius Pilate.” Ib e voices in the street drowned the voices of the centuries. But if, as Pontins FUate turned Jesus over to the w ill of those ndio hated him , he had dared to Io«dc into Jesas’ eyes, and what would he liave seen? To this very day, and to the end of tim e, in all places and among all men, this CSirist whom the world holds in chains is yet,the Judge of every m an. Men m ay say of Jesus what they wish, and he w ill Ibe silent still. But in ills eyes in the verdict. A m an is judged by his own judgement of Jesus Clirist. And you, too. Facmg you, he looks straight through you. W hat do yon see in Jesus’ eyes? Protestani .WNU Tea ominattons. Just in Case The old lady passing the insane asylum stopped an approaching inmate and said: “Can you tell me the tim e?”The cloistered brother took out a foot rule and a compass and a T-square. After fiddling with them for about five minutes, he said, “It’s just four o’clock.” “Wonderful,” says the nice old lady, “but what do you do if it’s raining and you can’t measure the shadow?” “Oh,” shrugged the inm ate, “in that case, I have to look at my watch.” C L A S S IF IE D D EPA RTM EN T BUSINESS & INVEST.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE N.C..JUNE1. 1949 LO O K IN G A Jff£A D >y GEORGE s. BENSON PusidCHl—Xtritiiif Cetttft SciK), Ariaiim Why Name Calling? The calling of names is a propaganda technique based on delusion and trickery. It has been common In politics for a long time, and has done its part to give politics a bad reputation among the people in gen eral.Americans are accustomed to a certain amount of this in election campaigns. But surely we have not come to the place where we expect it in the halls of Congress. In legislative sessions, when serious national problems are being discussed, it is a bit disturbing to hear so much name-calling. Any American has the right to disagree with another and to speak out his mind. But it is not necessary always to discredit those who disagree with us. Freedom Is Fragile The worst thing that has happened in America in the last twenty years has been the tendency to divide our people into class groups. Our coun try has long been known as the "m elt ing pot,” where im m igrant lads land backwoods boys can become bank ers and industrialists. High born or low born, rich or poor, in America it never really has mattered, llie important thing in America is that a m an may plan and live out his own dream. Some folks apparently have for gotten that these freedoms of ours are fragile and perishable. Unless we attend to the keeping of each of them, it is possible to lose them all. The building of class consciousness is one of the very worst things we can do to our American life. It could be the, entering wedge of all kinds of “isms,” any one of which in time might well put us in chains. Unwholesome Effect The term "big business” is used as name-calling by unthinking per sons and by those who have isms up their sleeves. Name-calling of busi ness, big or little or any size, can have nothing but an unwholesome effect upon the American scene. A U.S. Senator was quoted in the press recently as saying: “It appears that big business would rather risk a con tinued inflation of prices than balance the budget through increased taxes.”You see, all the people of the na tion are paying about a third of their total income in taxes. Must anyone who believes that taxes should not be raised be placed on the receiving end of a name calling campaign? One Senator on the Senate Labor Committee keeps branding as "fascist” certain of those who oppose increased taxation. Public Opinion Does this mean the Senators cannot make out a reasonable case for increased taxes? Does it mean that they can defend the case for higher taxes only by hanging ugly tags on those who oppose tax increases? If we must try to turn labor against management—if we must turn the public in general against employers who are providing millions of jobs at the highest wages ever Earned— then I am afraid we have reached a level that signals the end of our American way and our high standard of living.

Brake Accidents Lead An ICC analysis of mechanical defect accidents of motor carriers during 1947 revealed that as in pre vious years brake defects were re sponsible for more accidents than any other type. Tire failures are second in number and result in the most property damage. It showed also that mechanical defect accidents are continually increasing in number but are decrea.<iing as a per centage of all motor carrier acci dents.

There are ap proximately 20 million American families with incomes no higher than that.On the basis of $2,200 a year income, more than half the families in the U.

In fact I never knew him to attend church in a lifetime. If he ever entered the door of a church for a service It is more than I was aware of. He never attend* ed Sunday school and bad no Inter est In tbe spiritual welfare of him. self nor his community. He died suddenly, aud so far as I know without God. His life was wasted iu sin. He accomplished ttothlng good nor worth while. How.sad and even tregic: He could have been a man of God and a blessing to his countrv. I have taken special notice a. cross the years that lots ot people are afraid of a church, and esoe- clally a revival They are afraid tbev may get under conviction a. bout thefr lost coiidiflon, or tbat somebody may talk to them ahont their soul. I wonder why. Thsy seam to he more afraid of the i>ro. ole of God, and of the cbuecb, then they are of the devil and bell Then there i-s another class of of peoole who aitend cbujch until a revival is announced. As long as the revival continues they stay awav, then when it is over they start back again, NaturaHy there is something wrong ip the heart and soul, therefore they are not willing for the Gospel and fbe Holy Spirit to seach them out. This is indeed pathetic. Those who are alsend to attend church and Divine services, stid es. neclally afraid of a revival of Holy Ghost religion, certainly are In a dangerous condition. They are very sick solrltually, but afraid of the Great Physician, the only Sa. v*or of the soul who can save them from etMtJal death and damnation ‘•Turn ye, turn ve, for whv will von die?" It is ihdaed quite a problem to to wfn souls to Christ who are a- frald of the church, afra«d of Holy Ghrost revivals, and afraid of con viction and repentence O dear soul, if this Is vour condid tion, vou had better flee to Tesus and call noon Him for mercy and par- don. for holiness and redemption through His precious bloodl There is no time to lose. Slipping One Over Representative Hoffman of Mi chigan is peeved because a group of House members slipped through another tax-free ‘‘expenfe acconut” measure last week Mr. Hoffman has been “laying” for tbe bill " I had learned through the press such a measure was contemplated,” he said, "and when tbe chairman of tbe committee walked down the well of the House I moved to the front so as to be on watch for the particular bill. Although I listen- ed carefnlly, I was unahle to hear enough of what was s id to learn tbe measure I was watching for was up for cousidera'ion ” Under the hill, each member ot tbe House would get an additional $3 000 for clerk hire aud $500 for telephone and telegraph expenses. That woald be on too of tbe $3,500 taxfree expense allowance members of Congress are already receiving. The bill will add about a million dollars a vear to cost of government —not a largo sum in these days when blllion.s gty ilke berhs—but Id view of the fact that the treasury is faeing a deficit, tbat members of Congress are orating about govern mental economy for publi ceon- sumption, it is tip to Congress to set a better example.—Statesville D a ily ._____________ Do You Read The'Record?

"I took it to the chemist and had it made up, and I feel much better already.” Sqnelchelegant A lift-boy in one of the big stores hated to be asked needless questions. One day a fussy old lady entered the Uft.“Don’t you ever feel sick, going up and down in this lift all day?” she asked.“Yes, ma’am,” said the boy.“Is it the motion going up?”“No, ma’am.”“Is it the motion going down?” “No, ma’am.”“Is it the stopping that does it?” “No, ma’am.”“Then, what is it?”“Answering questions, ma’am.” Atom Age Structures Modern buildings can be constructed to “resist” atomic bombs but human beings must go “imder- ground” to be safe, a Yale faculty member declares. "It is true that structures can be designed which will remain standing after an atomic bomb explosion. No matter how carefully such buildings are constructed, however, it would not be safe for the occupants to remain in them during an attack,” according to Charles T. G. Looney. Loss of life, Mr. Looney asserted, could be "greatly lessened” by well-constructed underground shelters, well placed for efficient access. “It is obvious that well-planned civilian defense in all its aspects would b? essential.” he said.

Business as Usual Record Spring Pig Crop Urged !o Bo^.st Supplies Agriculture department is urging farmers to pr<.'luce the largest peacetime spriny pig crop on record in order to boost the meat sup ply-The 1949 spring pig goal calls for 60,000,000 pigs—an increase of17 per cent or nearly 9,000,000 more than the 1948 spring crop. This wiU require an increase of about 21 per cent in sows farrowing if litters are of average size.Goal aims to help provide average meat consumption of 150 pounds per person in late 1949 and 1950, when the 1949 spring pigs will be ready for market. This will exceed average consumption of 145 poimds expected this year and will be much above prewar average intake of 126 pounds.A hog-feed price relationship favoring hog production is expected to continue next year with average crop-producing weather in 1949. Facts About Insulating Ceilings of the top floor of almost any house are usually easy to insulate. Keep in mind two simple rules for the job: Try to keep the insulation as close as possible to the heated part of the house. Provide a vapor barrier between the insulation and the warm room, as well as a ventilation space above the insulation. The vapor barrier is a membrane which keeps moisture from reaching the insulation. Walls of older houses are often difficult to insiilate properly. Solid masonry houses are especially difficult and costly to treat. Frame or brick veneer houses can be insulated by blowing mineral wool into the empty space between the wall studs. Wales Hums With New Life The valleys of Wales are throbbing once more with the noise of industry. Pitheads, rolling mills and furnaces, silent in the inter-war years of slump and unemployment, now hum to a feverish round-the- clock schedule. The Welsh, who were hard-hit by tiie slump of the inter-war years are now busier than ever, and building the means for an even more prosperous future. Heart of this vast industrial rebirth is at Margam on the South Wales coast. Here, from a desolate wilderness of sand dime and marsh land, a steel giant is springing to life. Margam is today the site of the biggest single steel project in the world. Persimmon Gains PopularitjrThe persimmon is coming into the year-round eating picture. The small, native persimmon and the large, cultivated one both freeze well and can be used many ways. Varieties that are not stringy should be selected for freezing. They are usually frozen in the form of puree with one part pf sugar added to five parts of puree. The frozen puree may be used all during the year as a flavor base for ice cream or sherbet, as a frozen dessert, as topping for various desserts, or to use in persimmon pudding. The gay color and rare flavor of the persimmon make it a popular dessert. A doctor and dentist had been dose friends for over fifty years, but each had always taken particular care that the other should not discover his age. When, however, the dentist died, the doctor could not help looking forward to the funeral, when he hoped at last to know the dentist’s secret.As the coffin was being lowered into the grave he stepped forward to look at the brass plate, only to read: “Angus McLeod.

With the “soil blowing tunnel” at Manhattan, Kans., scientists are trying to learn how to keep the earth from flying above man. It is designed to reveal the basic facts of wind erosion, so that men can prevent the return of "Dust Bowl” conditions in the High Plains. With a single portable “blower” unit —a fan driven by a gasoline engine— the investigators can work either indoors with a built-in wind tunnel of plywood and glass, or outdoors with an aluminum duct that can be moved readily from place to place, to the field they will be able to study tte action of controlled and meas- urfed "blows” on soil in its natural ■tate, and compare, for example a elean-plowed section of a field with another that la "stubble mulched.” Uncle Sam Says “Put more Opportunity in jronr Future” dnrins the Spring Opportimity Drive for the sale of V.

Duffy, Manager. Every person in? this countrv should know about Old-Age and Survivors Insurance. You may ask “W hy should 1 know about this insurance if l don’t have a Social Security Account Number and have only worked for my self?” The reason is that you may be able to assist a friend or rela tive to assist a friend or relative to receive benefits they might lose by not filing for them. Too, you may become entided to benefits based on a relatives’ or friends’ Social Security Account because vou pay or help pay funeral ex penses. You may also wonder why I continue to stress the importance of knowing when to get in touch with my office. I do this because many people have and, no doubt, are losing benefits because they do nor know they can get them. It is also true that many people who do not know and understand the program will misinform oth ers. Hence, my opening state m ent-that every person in the United States, whether they have a Social Security Account Num ber or not, should know about Old-Age and Survivors Insurance. One woman who recently filed application for benefits for her four small children, lost benefits for about 11 months because she had not filed sooner. She told me that she was advised by a friend ^ a t she could not get benefits so she did not come or write to me. Another case illustrating lack of knowledge and money lost is that of a man who had worked in a barber shop until about 1944 when he opened his own shop and be gan working for himself. When he became 65, he could have be gun getting monthly checks if he had filed his application. He did not^e>until this year because he teid been told he was not entided to benefits as long as he worked. To have disqualified himself, he would have had to have contin ued working for someone else. He should not have accepted the advice of another, even though his friend, but shouldlhave made inquiry himself. Since this man did not come in, he lost benefits for nearly 5 years. I am glad to report that cases like these do not happen'often but even one case is one too many. W e can tell you if you can or cannot get benefits. Don’t put o ff asking. I will be in Mocksville on Wed nesday, June 22, at the court house, second floor, at 12:30 p. m. 1 will also be in Cooleemee on the same date at the Erwin Cotton Mills office at 11 a. m. THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE. N. C. ------------WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS------------ New Roosevelt Political Dynasty Seen in FOS, Jr.’s Vote Triumph; Clay Urges Scsord With CSermany BARKLEY: No Guards “I’m a big boy now. And besides, who would want to harm a young man like me anyway.” Thus did Kentucky’s Alben W. Barkley, Vice-President of the United States, dismiss the idea of personal guards. BARKLEY, who wUl be 72 in November, goes where he wants, when he wants and flatly refuses protection of any sort. He told newsmen that President Truman had “tried to get me to accept a few secret service men.” but was turned down. Secretary of the Treasury Snyder and top G-man J. Edgar Hoover also offered to provide bodyguards. But Barkley wanted his freedom. “I like it better that way,” he said. Barkley claims he’s just a “com mon man, nothing fancy.” In fact, he gets a kick out of people trying to figure out liow to address him. ‘‘I STILL call myself senator,” he says, “a habit after 22 years in congress, but the kids call me ‘veep.’ I like that.” He could also be called Mr. President, since that’s how he’s re ferred to in the senate over which he now presides. RADIO: Godfrey Tops Carrot-thatched, gravel-throated Arthur Godfrey, radio’s chief ex ponent of the “be yourself” type of entertp.iner-announcer, led the CBS network in earnings during 1948. He was paid $440,514.16 last year by the broadcasting system for which he labors. Newscasters didn’t fare so bad ly, however. Lowell Thomas was a close second with $420,300. Oddly enough, the network boss, Frank Stanton garnered only a measly .$109,738.80. All these figures cov ered income before Uncle Sam took his cut, so there was some difficul ty in trying to ascertain just how much “take home” pay these gen tlemen received.For the ABC network. Bon Mc Neill, emcee of the Breakfast Club, was tops with earnings of $180,229.- 40. . Paul Whiteman, ABC’s musical director and vice-president, re ceived $145,316.56. Again the network president ranked lower. ABC’s president Mark Woods got only $75,000. TROOPERS CATCH TARTAR and not necessarUy of t l^ newspaper. L a s t M a n O v e r (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these columnst tin Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts ROOSEVELT: Old Tradition The old tradition was running true to form ; you can’t beat a Roosevelt. Young Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., most like his father in looks, charm and smile, won the New York congressional seat left vacant by the death of Sol Bloom. And he won it with the national adm inistration and Tammany allied against him . FD R worshipers were jubilant. Those who had fought the “champ” throughout his years in the White House professed to see in the elec tion result the creation of a new Rooseveltian political dynasty. Already the cry of the exultant victors was “on to Albany,” New York capital which Franklin D. Roosevelt, four-time President of the United States, used as a spring board to the White House. Denied the Democratic nomination, young Roosevelt ran on the Liberal and Four Freedoms par ties’ tickets in a contest which kept M anhattan’s west side in an uproar for months. A surprise to many Americans, who did not know such procedure was permissible, Roose velt does not reside in the district he will represent in congress. It seems that all the while there has been no bar in the law to prevent a candidate from living in one dis trict and representing another.DESPITE his victory as a stand ard bearer for two other parties, Roosevelt declared he is still a 100 per cent Democrat. Campaigning, he visited thou sands of voters, turned on the old Roosevelt charm, mingled with the masses in their homes, attended house parties as honor guest, made street corner speeches. One defeated candidate sounded a fam iliar note heard so frequently during other Rooseveltian cam paigns:“The formula in this election was a glamorous name and a quarter of a m illion dollars, and neither of these did we have.” are tliose o ^ACCIDENTS: Three Reasons Plain stupidity, bad manners, and liquor are the top three causes of automobile accidents, accounting tor three-fourths of all fatalities, or over 24,000 deaths per year, accord ing to a case analysis by North-; western National Life Insurance; company.

Thus 44 per cent of our annual traffic death toll results Lt. Joe Russo, U.S. arm y air force, is shown holding a bou- qnet of flowers presented to him after he landed his air plane at Templehof airdrome to complete the last airlift flight before the lifting of the Berlin blockade. GERMANY: Clay Speaks Up If Gen. Lucius D. Clay, retiring United States m ilitary governor in Germany, had his way, America’s ex-foes would be permitted back into the company of democratic nations as soon as possible.BACK in Washington where he was feted and decorated by President Truman, Clay warned that un less Germany is restored to the community of western nations, an alliance with Russia by our former enemies is inevitable.Speaking to the house of repre sentatives, the general declared that the German people, in spite of their recent history of aggressive war and “extreme cruelty,” now had shown their preference for a government standing for the “dignity of man as an individual.” In the spirit of the residents of Berlin who survived through the airlift, Clay declared, there is a spark for German freedom that “may grow with the years.” He told the senate how the people of western Germany had adopted through their parliamentary council a constitution which guarantees free elections and is “devoted to reestablishing in Germany the dignity of m an.” WITHOUT referring to the Soviets by name, he charged, nevertheless,..^ that the Russians have tv/o objectives that were irreconcilable with tlie efforts made by the United States, England and France to create a four-power government in Germany based on international cooperation. lie defined these objectives of what he termed “the fourth power” as intent to exact the maximum in reparations from Germany and to set up a government that could be controlled or exploited by a police state. COMMUNISTS: Losing Ground Whatever was responsible—the American airlift, a conviction that American democracy liad more to offer or a general revulsion to all police states — the Communists weren’t doing so well in the east ern Berlin elections.THIS was in contrast with the confident predictions of Commu- ni-stic politicians in the Soviet zone of occupation of an overwhelming m ajority. The vote was being taken on a “people’s congress” of 2,000 members, all hand-picked by Commu nist-controlled organizations and put on a single ticket. However, the Commvmists were picking up only about a third of the votes expected. Some voters wrote on their bal lots “we won’t vote for a police state and we reject Communism.” Early returns from Berlin showed a m ajority of “no” votes—the only way the congress could be re jected since only one list of candi dates was submitted.THE “PEOPLES’ congress,’ if it were to be set up, would be the Soviet answer to the western state being set up in the western zone. Objective observers couldn’t fail to see in the initial trend' of the voting an indication that in any case where American system and idealogies may be contrasted with that of the Soviets, the latter can not command support. from failures by drivers or pedes trians to use common sense. Bad manners, such as road hogging-driving over the center line or actually on the wrong side of the road, and “barging through” when the other fellow has the right-of- way cause another 15 per cent of traffic fatalities, the records reveal. TRAFFIC DEATHS due to alcohol are estimated by the insurance statisticians at a m inim um of 15 per cent—12 per cent due to drink ing by drivers and 3 per cent due to drinking by pedestrians. This is the most difficult group of cases to. measure accurately, the study points out, because; Many drinking drivers try to conceal such facts in case of an accident, and an un known number succeed; second, a considerable proportion of other violations such as reckless driving, which are directly blamed for certain accidents, would not be com mitted if the driver were fully sober and his judgment clear. Summ ary: Of our annual traffic toll of 32,000 to 33,000 deaths, 44 per cent result from acts of folly by motorists or pedestrians, 15 per cent result from bad driving m an ners, and at least 15 per cent from liquor. Total: 74 per cent. SNEEZER: 150.000 Times Michael Hippisley had sneezed150.000 times and was stiU sneezing. London doctors sought frantically to bring some relief to the 14-year old schoolboy who had sneezed once every three seconds for nine days. THE only time the boy hadn’t sneezed in the nine days was when he was knocked out by drugs or sleeping. 'I’ve had kerosene up my nose, drops down my ears and hundreds cf tablets,” Michael told reporters. 'Then they cauterized me. I icouldn’t feel anything any more, but I kept on sneezing.” When news of Michael’s plight got about, some 50 callers offered sympathy and advice. One sug gested hypnotism. Another said sneeze in a paper sack. Unfortu nately, all remedies had been tried. SCIENCE, making great strides with allergy controls and remedies seemed stymied on this case. The Hippisley fam ily doctor said that’s what he thought it was—the constant “aa-chooing” was due to Michael’s “abnormal sensitivity to pollen dust.” C h e a ts D eath Ml BRONX CHEER (BOTTLED) FOR QUADS . . .

Reds Get Advice Big g e s t q u e s tio n m a r k in tlie m inds of every diplom at is whether the Russians have merely got soft tem porarily or have made a m ajor policy shift toward long term cooperation with the rest of the world.No diplom at, to date, dares ven ture a definite answer. However, uncensored reports from Germany give one significant clue which may reveal part of the answer. Recently the Russians have been getting advice from Rudolf Nadol- ny, form er German ambassador to Russia. Nadolny is not a Comm unist, is a German of H ungariM extraction, and a disciple of Bis- im arck, who always favored close ; cooperation between Germany and ' Russia.Nadolny’s advice to Moscow has been to cut out the diplom atic blaster, and talk softly to the west, while simultaneously strengthening Kiissian-Ger- m an ties.If Moscow extends the olive branch to western Europe and the United States. Nadolny is reported to have advised, western opinion w ill be lulled and congress w ill not appropriate fu ll funds for the north Atlantic pact. German-Russian Pact? In addition, Nadolny also met with Germ an leaders last month and gave them significant advice that Germany’s future lay with Russia. The way Nadolny sized it up was reported to be about as follows:If there is peace, Russia can give ■ far more to Germany than the al lies for two reasons; 1. She controls Silesia and can return it.2. B ritain and the U. S. A. are hvuigry for markets. If there is no war this competition for markets w in become keener, and Britain and the U. S. A, w ill keep Germany an agrarian state. Meanwhile Rus sia has ample markets in China and offers no competition to Ger many.If, on the other hand, there is w ar, Nadolny said he had positive assurance that Germany would be spared. The Red arm y, he prom ised, woldd advance either through Norway or Italy. Therefore close German-Russian cooperation was essential. Result was the stiff position taken by the western Germ an leaders at Bonn, when they first turned down Gen. Lucius Clay’s proposals for a western Germ an state. It was only after the Big Three foreign m inis ters granted concessions that the German charter of government finally was accepted. Phony Telegram Lobby Not since the holding-company fight of 1935, when the private util ity lobby bombarded congress with telegrams signed with names talcen from a telephone directory, has Capitol H ill been deluged with so m any phony telegrams and letters as in the current drive against pub lic housing. One of the lobby’s most ingenious schemes is being worked on California non;rp'-'- men by an organization with the higk-soimdin.<; r- mittee for home r?rcte.-;t^— Congressmen m ay not realize it, but this is merely a front for the powerful national as sociation of home builders. Its general chairm an, Frederick C. Dockweiler, also happens to be general counsel of the Los Angeles home builders, institute, while in the background is m ultim illionaire Fritz B. Bum s, biggest west coast builder and former presi dent of National Home Builders.However, California congressmen would be even more amazed if they knew how the folks are being used by the '‘committee for home protection. Here is how the lobby operates; Committee agents approach citi zens on the street, give them a “facts sheet,” containing 10 sample telegrams denoimcing public-hous ing legislation, and ask them to se lect one, copy it on a telegram blank provided by the lobby’s agent, and sign it. When 20 such “ canned” telegrams have been collected, they are sent to a member of congress. 'The latter assumes the telegrams are legitim ate messages from the voters back home. In addition to the "facts sheet,” which lobby agents hand to the public, they also have an “instruc tion sheet,” which they are very careful not to hand out. These con fidential instructions are a dead giveaway. “ 1. Select your prospect. Get a m an who has absolutely no con nection with the building or real- estate business.

N. C. MIRROR Of Your MIND I H H Mother Can't Replace Father By Lawrence Gould Can mother take father’s Answer: No, however hard she m ay try, and however relieved father m ay be by the thought of dumping his responsibilities onto her shoulders, says Dr. Edward A. Strecker author of “Their Mothers’Sons.” For the fact remains that mother is a female, and a child m ust learn to grow up in a world that’s m ale AND female. “Your son needs a m an around whom he can im itate. You want him to glory in physical strength, learn to be aggressively fearless, resourceful, protective—in short, mas culine. He w ill not learn that from his mother.” Are nicknames bad for children? Answer: There is no essential difference between a nickname and a “real” one if it is the name which the child comes to recognize as meaning himself. I know two or three men who would scarcely know whom you were speaking to if you addressed them by the names that are recorded on place? their birth certificates, and I can not see it has made any difference to them. But to give a child a nickname that seems “cute” while he’s a baby but w ill sound ridicu lous as he grows older may make his developing a norm al self esteem needlessly hard. Do longer hours mean getting more work done? Answer: No, say statisticians of the U.S. Bureau of Labor, report ing a survey of 2445 male and 1060 female workers in 34 different industrial plants in this country. “Generally speaking, the study indicates that, everything else being equal, the 8-hour day and 40-hour week are best In terms of effi ciency and absenteeism, and that higher levels of hours are less satisfactory.” Longer hours not only mean more tim e lost through absence from the job, but bring about a marked rise in both the number and freguency of accidental injuries. LOOKING AT RELIGION By DON MOORE THE!?e ARE ONLY SM OPM ON TEMPLBS m TUB WORLD...SIX OF JHSM A!?e m THE : UNireO STATES. - KEEPING HEALTHY Causes and Treatment of Hives By Dr. James WHEN HIVES (urticaria) occurs, the first thought naturally is to relieve the itching and burning but there are so many substances that can cause hives that we must try to find the cause as soon as possible. Thus, as certain foods are often to blame, the first method of treat ment is to give an emetic to induce vomiting, such as a teaspoon of mustard in half a glass of water. If the food has been in the body for some time, then a dose of castor oil or Epsom salts should be taken. The drug most commonly used to relievo symptoms is the injection of 10 to 15 m inim s (drops) of adrenalin under the skin.W hile cleansing out the stomach and intestine and the injection of adrenalin (epinephrine) give al most immediate relief from the itching and burning, it should be remembered that the system has received a shock and needs rest in bed, with liquid food for a day or two.When hives are over the entire W. Barton body, baking soda, which is always soothing to the inflamed skin, is effective—a cupful in the regular bath or half a cup in the wash tub. After drying, touching the hives with baking soda talcum or flour prolongs the relief. While the above treatment gives considerable relief in a ll cases, the cause of the hives should be sought so that chronic hives or frequent attacks of hives can be prevented by avoiding the foods, drugs and other subst^ces found to be the cause or causes.In addition to these causes, it is now known that just as emotional disturbances can increase the heart rate, raise the blood pressure, cause, stomach upsets and diarrhoea, so they can cause hives and other eruptions of the skin.One of the substances manxifac- tured by the body tissues is histamine, a factor associated with al lergic symptoms including hives. For this reason what are Imown as antihistamine drugs, such as bena- dryl, are used to treat hives. Becau.se tuberculosis glands in children appear to be a forerunner of tuberculous meningitis, some physicians prescribe streptomycin in such tuberculosis cases.• « • Insulin has kept many diabetics alive for years, enabling the great m ajority to attain the age they w o^d have lived even , if they had not been afflicted with diabetes. Early symptoms of cancer of the stomach are (1) uncomfortable feeling in the stomach, increased by eating but disappearing at night, (2) belching of gas' and gas pres sure, (3) lost appetite for certoin foods such as meat, (4) a feeling of tiredness and weakness, with loss of weight and thinning of the blood becoming evident. New Plastic Foam Used in Insulation Material Is Called Lightest of Solids The world’s lightest solid an amazing plastic foam that swells up when baked like a cake to .100 times its original volume—has been developed by Westinghouse scientist for use as a new insulating material. The new product is expected to find its way into many uses in appliances used in farm homes and about the farm .Even lighter than some gases, the new m aterial weighs from 10 to 20 times less than the fluffy meringue on a well-baked pie. Robert P . Sterling, 29-year-old chemist, and the m an chiefly re sponsible for the new product, said Shown here is a refrigerator completely insnlated with the new plastic - foam insolation m aterial. This is the way the refrigerator looked after the Insulation job was done, but before door liner and othei parts were put back in place. It is the result of a three-year search for an effective instdating m aterial that wiU fiU large areas, yet weigh “next to nothing.”The foam is made by heating a molasses-like synthetic resin at about 350 degrees Fahrenheit until it eiq>ands to 100 times Its original volume, then solidifies. Thousands of gas bubbles entrapped In the foam "buoy” it up and give the plastic its lightness. Foamed Into pre-fabricated metal wall sections, a two-inch thick lay. er weighing only 300' pounds would be enough to insulate a complete six-room house. Sterling said.Resistant to fire, moisture, fun gus growth and Insects, the foam is low enough in cost to be practical for many applications and uses, the scientist said.Not only do Imprisoned air bub bles give the new plastic great lightness, but they also provide It with its excellent insulating quail' ties. So-called “dead air” Is one of the best insulators known among commonly available materials, Sterling said.

Danger that coughing cattle may spread respiratory infections to their stablemates is highlighted in a research report from the Ameri' can Veterinary Medical association.

AVMA points out that this case occurred in England, where bovine tuberculosis is widespread. Although tuberculosis has been reduced to a m inim um In United States herds, coughers and sneezers are nevertheless a menace becatise they m ay spread a ll kinds of respiratory Infections. Isolation of any anim al showing respiratory symp toms Is urged, therefore, to protect the rest of the herd. Reid Mice Destruative To Melon Crops, Seed Untold damage is done each year to cucumber, cantaloupe and water melon fields by mice destroying the seed which are planted and also the plants which are up and bearing fruit. H. A. Bowers, Clem- eon college crop specialist, says. Bowers explained that the mea dow mouse destroys the seed after they are planted, and the pme mouse cuts oH the plants at the ground * n S LONG as I know how to “ make waffles, I can get to gether a good breakfast, a fancy lunch eon or serve a glamorous d e s- s e rt,” said a new bride. This young lady was indeed on th e right track; she had perfected one dish, and she could be certain that any occasion would be covered simply but adequately with it. Waffles m ay be varied in many different ways, and they can easily go from breakfast to luncheon to de.ssert for dinner or a party. No, not the same waffle, of course, but with a slight variation waffles really can do aU these things. Plain waffles with butter and syrup or honey are ideal for breakfast m ain d i^e s . Try pairing them with crisply browned sausages, crisply browned bacon strips, or ham. For luncheon, vary the waffle, and serve with creamed eggs, chicken, tuna fish or mushrooms. The dessert waffle is rich, and it m ay be plain, orange or even choc olate-flavored. Have you ever put together chocolate waffles with peppermint stick ice cream and passed the chocolate sauce? Yes, simple but very elegant! Or, how about crisp and golden brown waffles crowned with whipped cream and bananas? Yes, another fav orite!• * * B A SIC W AFFLES m ay be quickly ® and sim ply made from a pan cake m ix in the following manner: Quick Waffles (Makes 5 servings)2 cups pancake ready-mix V3 cup melted shortening 2 eggs 2 cups m ilk Place a ll ingredients in a mediumsized m ixing bowL Beat with a rotary egg beater until batter is fairly smooth.

To season the iron, when it is still cold, brush with cooking o^. Heat the Iron to baking temperature and allow to cool. Discard the first waffle made as It w ill be greasy. After this, waffles w ill not stick to the iron. Don’t peek into the waffle iron while it steams. This means the waffle is still b a ^ g . If batter spIBs on the iron, let it cook on before trying to remove it. When dry, it flicks off easily. When' brown spots appear on the iron, from spattering fat, use a fine scouring powder, rubbed gently, to remove them.Keep waffle cords In good condition by putting them away with out kinks and knots.Leftover kernel corn, cooked rice and blueberries m ay be added to waffle batter. One cup of any of these food Items is folded in the waffle before baking. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT BUSINESS & INVEST. OPPOS. Service Station and Garage—New modero in city.

PHILLIPS LIVING-ROOM SQUAT Television is developing a race of sitters—a vast, immovable popula tion of living-room squatters, as it were. In all areas of the country where video has come into play, great masses of people are “set- tin’ ” glued around the set, absorbed and sUent, neglecting sm all talks, books, papers and even the racing results. — *— The decline in conversation at house parties in television belts has become alarm ing. Guests hard ly speak to one another or to the hostess. Whole evenings are spent in which “come in” and “ good P R A Y E R P O W E R Y o u r prayers have comforted me, fnend. Through many a day; 'i. When Strength has M ed me, then I kaow fjjl That you will pray; When any hurt becomes too great For me to bear, 1 feel it ease, remembering Your power in prayer. "I shall pray for you each day,” you said, "My voice shall lift In your behal£ . . . ” O friend of mine^ ■ There is no gift Though you should search the wide world dirough That can compare W ith the precious, shining, white weight p.-i O f yom prayer! "Pray one for another,” we are told. 1, too, shall pray For you, and for each troubled heart In need today. ' i — G r a c e N o ll C r o w e ll night” sum up the total exchange of words. The old m an doesn’t go down to the store for the papers or a cigar. Mom cuts the cinema. It Isn’t because television is all sheer entertainment. In fact, it has been rather trying, often downright annoying. Video is still in the baby stage. It doesn’t look like an extra smart kid. But there is such a diversity of attractions on so many programs over so many channels that there is a fascination for 'millions in it, good or bad. So many more thrillers, playlets, vaudeville sketches, hockey games, fights, wrestling bouts, debates, concerts, newreels, soap operas, comedians, tragedians, actors, dancers, scientists, clowns and puppets come zooming into the old homestead that the audience at least gets action. The reactions are curious. We know one addict who says, “It’s so bad that it’s absorbing.” p o th e r demands, with more enthusiasm, “Show me another medium through which I can get a hockey game, a ski tournament, a forum, a circus, a Broadway show, a couple ot westerns, a book review and a carload ot miscel laneous entertainers and celebrities without getting out of my chair!”-m- We have even discovered a fel low who finds some commercials attractive on television. He hated commercials on the radio, but a close-up photograph of a mince pie, a layer cake, a stack of wheaties, a bubbling glass of beer or a gal whipping up a dinner on a cooking program intrigues him . He gets sore if a plate of frankfurters and beans doesn’t screen well or if a display of gelatins is out of focus. His c ^e f interest in a ll products seems to be their degree of screen clarity.— *—Men and women who could take their regular radio or let it alone have been known to go nnts over television. The busi ness of operating the various dials to bring in the entertainment gives them the feeling of being prodncers, stage directors, dramatie coaches, vaude ville kibitzers ond movie pro moters. They are never satisfied. They are always monkey ing with the dials, trying to achieve the perfect show. The American public is getting more and more amusement-mad and it looks as if books, magazines and newspapers m ay have to go all out for showmanship. Man’s house iBed to be his castle; it is now his fight arena, his ball park, his theater, his concert hall, his information bureau and bis personal clambake. The answer to “Shall we go out somewhere tonight” is “Why?” People used to leave the apartment to k ill boredom and s e ^ some di version. They now accomplish the same objectives with an “aeria7 stack” and a “booster.” ss- Hurry up with the dinner, momt There’s a prize fight, a wrestling show, six m usical revues, a tour of the nighteries, four westerns, a travelogue, a newsreel, four mys tery d r ^ a s , 18 newscasts, a rodeo, a m ardi gras and a sailfish tourna ment on the video tonight I This *n* T hat Armour and Co. omitted its preferred dividend, saying meat prices have fallen 20 to 30 per cent . . .

By IN EZ GERHARD VANESSA BROWN typifies every thing that a young actress ought to be. Very pretty, with chestnut hair and blue eyes, she has managed, at 20, to complete her college course and make pictures at the same tim e. Asked how it happened that she was chosen for the m aid of the all-star cast of Paramount’s “The Heiress,” she laughed and said she’d been VANESSA BROWN teaching W illiam Wyler’s daughter to swim; after testing older ac tresses he realized that Vanessa was right for the role, her ninth. You’ve heard her on the air—she toured Alaska with “Vox Pop,” has appeared on the Screen Guild and other im portant shows. She writes, too; has sold three stories to a nej7spaper syndicate. Joan Fontaine in “Bed of Roses” Will be back at RKO for the first tim e since she starred in “From This Day Forward” in 1945. A modem dram a, it stars her as an iron-willed girl with an insatiable desire to have her own way. Friends who knew her and Olivia de Haviland in their school-girl days say the beautiful Joan her self always had a way of getting what she wanted. John MOjan deserted film s two years ago to devote bis tim e to his avocado ranch at Vista, C alif., but could not resist the role of “M r. Howard” in “Mrs. Mike,” the Dick Pow- ell-Evelyn Keyes starrer being produced for United Artists. Five of film land’s glamour girls recognize a voice that has made love to them when they tune in M utual’s "Scattergood Baines.” Wendell Holmes, who plays “Scattergood,” has played the romantic lead opposite Joan Fon taine, Dorothy McGuire, Veronica Lake, Claire Trevor and Madeleine Carroll. He’s also tops at imper sonating Winston Churchill on the air. TheFiction Corner VALERIA’S AFFA IR with Eliot Harvey had proved extremely gratifying. After aU, Eliot was the most handsome and the most glam orous m an at Newfane Lake, and the confession of his love had rather ' flattered her vanity. But the duration had been brief. Two months, to be exact She had smiled a litUe wistfully the night she handed back his ring. “It’s been swell fun, Eliot, but it can't last. The feeling’s alone on the surface. It isn’t real.” “Not real?” He stared ot her, un- beUeving. “Good Lord, Val—” But s h e interrupted him with a ges- 3* Minute of - finality. cu«s.. “K ‘s no use, Eliot. Fiction You’re f a r to o -----------glamorous a n d handsome to fa ll in love. I tried hard,, but it didn’t work.” She patted his hand m aternally. “Summer romances are fun, and this has been the best ever. No regrets.” A hurt look came into his eyes, to be replaced an instant later by exaggerated indifference. He tossed the ring, caught it, pocketed it. “O. K ., sister. I guess I can stand it.” His eyes held that smug, “it’s-yo«ir- funeral” look that so fitted his role. She felt released, free again. When Doug M etcalf asked her to attend the Country Club ball with him she accepted without qualms of con science. Doug was big and homely.“Thought there was no harm in asking,” he grinned. “You won’t find me as spectacidar as E liot.” He looked at her cnrionsly, seemed on the point of asking a question and thonght better of it. She knew that he, like everyone else, was wondering if her heart was broken. W ell, let them find out for themselves. Their pity annoyed her. Who was this Eliot Harvey, a god or something? The night of the ball, dancing with Doug M etcalf, she saw Eliot floating by with Sheelah Jackson. He was looking down into her up turned face, oblivious to everything else. Valeria felt a little pang, and im patient at herself, gave her attention to Doug. Doug was watching her and there was worship in his eyes. SH E WAS DANCING a dreamy waltz with Doug when Eliot cut in. Surprised, she found herself in his :um s scarcely before his fam iliar features became recognizable. “Well, well, well. Look who’s here! How’s the Don Juan of New- fane?” “Val, let’s go out and get a punch.” His tone was almost harsh. Valeria hesitated. “All right,” she said. “I could use something like that. It’s been a destructive evening. I’m worn out.” They moved into tiK dcove NO REGRETS where the drinks were being serv ed. He led her beyond and th ro u ^ French doors that opened onto the terrace. The place was crowded, but they found a vacant bench be hind some shrubbery, and Valeria sat down. It was good to sit. Eliot bent over her. “Listen, Val, I can’t stand iti I ’ve been crazy ever since you gave me back the ring. I ’m going mad. You’ve got to come back to m e!” Amazed, she stared, np at him . His eyes were bnm ing coals. He stood there stripped ot his pride and dignity, no longer the confident Don Juan, the breaker ot women’s hearts. “Eliot, your drunk!” " I ’m not! Val, don’t you see I ’m not! Don’t you see how much I love you!” He dropped down be side her, and su d d e i^ his head was against her breast. He wept. Val was frightened and bewildered. So a ll his indifference, his By Richard H. Wilkinson casual acceptance of her decision to break their engagement, his in terest in Sheelah Jackson—it had a ll been pretense! A sham ! A mask! An attem pt to m aintain his Don Juan standing, to nourish his pride and vanity and conceit. She stood up, suddenly contempt- ous, ashamed of her own doubt, disgusted with his weakness. She looked down at him , without pity or compassion or regret, turned away and went eagerly back to find de pendable Doug, Discovery ot Iron Iron—according to legend — was discovered by prim itive m an in campfire embers or in meteorites. Iron tools were used in construct ing the Pyram ids about 3000 B. C. The ancients produced iron in fires built on the windward side of banks, or 'in pits or rock furnaces, using bellows.

They are told in the four Gospels without dramatics and without tears. Yet the dram a is there, stark and terrible; and only the hard of heart can read it without tears.There is a deeper question than what happened. 'Why did it happen? The first Christians were forced to think about the crucifixion. They a ll knew it was no legend. It was so. But they were hunted, as we are, with the question. Why? Here was a person whose teaching was truth, whose touch was health, whose life was love. You would have thought the world would welcome such a man, and give him the highest honors in its power. But instead, a ll it had for him were nails and thorns and a cross. Why? If God, who sees a ll things, knew that even his Son would come to no better end than a death of shame, why did God allow Jesus to be born, much less send him into the world, the world where the cross was waiting? No Other End ■t h e r e w a s, of course, “histori- * cal reasons” why Jesus was lulled. If we used the words “m urdered” or “lynched” it would be nearer the truth. Jesus’ death, from one point of view, was both a tragedy and a crime, and the Gospel stories show this. Jesus died be cause Pilate was a spineless man. Jesus died because the priests of Jerusalem saw that if this m an won, they would lose, and they wonld commit murder . rather than be defeated. Jesus died because the Pharisees bad closed minds and would not listen to truth if they did not thinfc of it first. He died because Judas was a traitor, because his friends were cow ard and even the best of them dared to show their faces only after he was dead. He died because the Jewish people had their minds set on one sort of Messiah, and when Jesus turned out to be quite another sort, they woidd have none of him . Being altogefher the sort of person he was, in that kind of world, a1 that particular time and place, you could say, as Jesus himself ^ d , that the Son of Man “had to” die. (Luke 24:26.) No other end was possible. There was no help for i1 . . . except to turn coward .and hide; and if he had been capable of that, he would not have been the Christ we know at all. The Flan of God Th e n was Jesus simply a victim of circumstances? Was he nc better than a fly caught in fate’s dark web? Far from it. The Chri^ tian church has always believed, even before these stories of the crucifixion were ever written, that the death of Christ was in the plan of God. In fact, it is at the heart oi God’s plan for mankind. It is by the death ot Christ that God reconciles m an and ' brings men back to himself. The Christian church believes and teaches that Christ died for us, that Is, for you and for me. We believe that this was not sim ply Jesns’ own Idea, something God had not thought of till Jesus suggested It. We believe that this was the in tention of God “from before the foundation of the world.” The God who is over all, works through aU things, even very evil things, to make his love known. “That The World . . .Might Be Saved” I^ E N had long thought of God as *•■1 living in far-off heaven, seated on a throne, high and lifted up. A just and m ighty God, one who cannot be touched with any human weakness, a holy and infinite Lord of the universe,—such a God men knew. But on earth there walks and suffers a race of men who are slaves of sin, slaves to evil. How can sucii a God help such men? Not by 'Staying on his throne and hurl ing down more curses. Only by doing w hat, men would never have guessed God would dare to do- come into this world, himself as a m an, translating himself into the life of m an; putting his shoulder imder the human load, even bear ing “our sins in his own body on the tree” (I Peter 2:24).

Weak Congress Passed Long-Range Laws Although the congress of the United States created by the Ar ticles of Confederation was hope lessly weak and inadequate, it set some momentous precedents which greatly influenced the cul tural and territorial development of the nation.The Land Ordinance of 1784 sig nificantly announced that the un settled lands of the United States were to be considered as territories being prepared for full- fledged Statehood rather than ‘colonies’ of the federal government — thus guaranteeing n e w states absolute equality with older states, which was unprecedented in governmental and judicial his tory.

JUNE 8. 1949 L O O K IN G A ff£ A D GEORGE s. BENSON PrcsidcHt—M trm i ectttft Sattf, M krnsu Lesson from Britain Hard times and doing without— that’s still the order of life in Britain. "Austerity” is the official name for it. True, a little sacrificing is not harm ful to anyone. But as a political system or way of life, British "aus terity” is going to continue looking a bit drab (as a cloak for socialism), when you compare it with the private management and freedom of enter prise we loiow in America. Britain, in effect, is telling America what not to do.Fact of LiteBut at the moment, the British experience is helping underscore an economic fact that needs more un derscoring here in America. That fact is this; increases in wages mean higher prices. Economists in our country have known for a long tim e that this is true, yet the popular view of it insists that the boss can go on indefinitely granting increases, year after year, without ever raising prices at all. The British know better. It seems that Sir Stailord Cripps, who is in charge of money matters in England, is right now urging B rit ish workers (even they who own industry and run the government) to work harder without higher wages. If the Britishers do this, the reasoning goes, there w ill be more to ex port to America. Then, Britain w ill have more dollars with which to buy the things her people need. Shrewd enough!Another Round? You see, the British are driving to get into as much of the American market as possible. Sir Stafford recognizes that if British workers should demand increases in wages, prices of British goods would make it im possible to compete successfully on the American market. In other words, the British (even the labor government) know that increases in wages do mean higher prices. Is Sir Stafford counting on prices going up in America? Well, at least he is laying plans to compete with American manufacturers—and an other round of wage increases over here would do much to help him, according to his own formula. Yes, indeed. Another round of wage boosts would send up prices so high that Sir Stafford would have little trouble in getting rid of everything Britain sells, from pottery to Austin motor cars. ' Forced PricesForeign trade is good for our na tion, just like it is good for the British. It’s a two way street. If we fail to get into the competition oittselves, then our goods w ill stop moving as fast as we know our production lines can move them. Tliis lesson Britain is teaching us works at home, too. The one thing we want to do is to keep production going, for we know that our people want jobs and have the capacity to consume. But if we are going to keep forcing prices upward, we may one day realize that depression is here just because we have done that very thing. We can have nothing but false prosperity that foretells .depression, if we force prices too high. BftV* you heard Dr. Benson and the '*LMd of the Free”?fMlOChtt\70iir local station for time.

It Often Happens '1 II DOCTOR’S telephone rang one “ night, awakened him from fit. iful slumber. It was one of his reg. idar patients, a man in a wild state of alarm . “My wife, doctor,” he shouted. " It’s her appendix. You’d better come ’round and see her at once.” ■ The doctor sighed and told the Iman to go back to bed. “Give her some bicarbonate and iginger ale, and I ’ll look in to-mor- luw ,” he said. “She hasn’t got ap pendicitis.”The husband became even wild er, insisting that she did have ap- ipaidicitis.; “Well, she can’t have!” the doc- ;tor to u te d . “I took her appendix ;out three years ago, and I never •heard of anyone having two ap- Ipendixes.”: “Ever heard of anybody having ;two wives?” the man asked, :bitterly. GOOD REASON The old m an fishing from the ;river bank landed a pike about two jfeet long, but threw it back. Later .he caught a large perch. Tliis he also threw back. '' Five minutes later he caught a sm all perch, and put it into his l>ag. •As he rose to go a fellow fisherman asked him why he had thrown back two beautiful fish and kept a small one. “W ell,” he replied, “my frying pan’s only nine inches wide.” Wrong And Bight The theatrical agent’s new clerk entered the private room and said. There’s a lady to see you, sir,” "Is she good-looking?”“Yes, sir.” “Show her in.”Ten minutes later the clerk was summoned. “W ell,” said the agent, gruffly, “you’re a nice judge of beauty, I must say.” “Ah, but I had to be careful, sir. For all I knew, she might have been your wife.” "Yes,” said the agent, acidly, “she was.” THAT STOPPED HER The farmer’s wife was famous tor miles aronnd for her sharp tongue, bnt one day she had to stop nagging. A farm horse kicked her so badly that she had to go to a hospital. During her absence there was a ceaseless stream of callers at the farm .The farm er was touched. It’s very nice of the neighbors, especially the men, to call and ask after the missus,” he re marked to the maid-of-ail-work. “Aye, sir,” replied tbe girl, “bnt most of fiiem want to know if yoa’II sell the horse.” He Asked for It He was up before the orderly officer, charged with using insulting language to his sergeant. “Please, sir,” he protested, “I was only answering a question.”“What question?” snapped the ofiicer.“Wen, sir, the sergeant said, ‘What do you think I am ?’ And I told him .” False Alarm A saucy farm damsel was speed ing through traffic in tbe city. She soon found herself stopped by a policeman. “Look here,’/ he growled, “where is the fire?” "W hat are you worrying about,” she coimtered, “you are no fire m an.” Photomfcrographic Aid A simple device, constructed from aluminum foil and a plastic slide by Boy J. Pence, principal laboratory teclmician of the division of ento mology of the University of Cali fornia at Los Angeles, has proved a valuable aid m increasing depth of focus of microscope objectives for photomicrography. Sm all holes, drilled dose to the outer edge of the aluminum foil in graduated sizes, serve the purpose of an iris diaphragm, when the slide is moved from side to side. They provide a means of adjusting an otherwise permanent aperture. Bottoms Up! OLD lady leaned out of the carriage window, called the guard and said: "G uard, does this train stop at Rugby?” "Yes, m adam .” "W ell, w ill you tell m e when we get to Rugby?” “Yes, m adam .’* Then she turned to another travd- ler and said: “W ill you know when we get to Rugby?” “Yes, m adam .” “W ill you be sure to td l m * when we get there?” “Anything to oblige, m adam .'' When the train stopped at the next "tation she called the guard, and -.old him to be sure and rem ind her when the train reached Rugby. This happened about every twenty minutes. In the end the train r.'ached Rugby, and a passenger tnld her that she had arrived. Just "•I the guard rushed up and said, ■■)h=s is where you get out, m adam.” “Oh. pa." she said; “If this is Rugby it iTni.'t be twelve o’clock, and that’s when 1 have to take my medicine.” ’»EAL-LIFE MAGIC Jack—When I was 6 years (dd, a m iracle happened to me.

He made many gifts of boolcs—a library of three hundred to the town of Franklin, N.

Check Storage Bins Often To Prevent Insect Damage V.'ith one of the biggest grain crpps in history now in storage it will pay farmers to check storage bins periodically for insect damage, suggests Gordon Mickle, en tomologist for tlie Colorado A & M co'lege extensive service.If weevils or other granary in sects are destroying your grain, you can still prevent further dam age by fumigation. Although grain fumigation is most effective at air temperatures of 65 to 70 degrees, many weevils are killed at lower temperatures. Carbon disulilde is the most effective m aterial, but since it is highly inflammable, it should not be used if it creates a fire hazard. Commercially prepared fumigants are available which are less of a fire hazard than carbon disulfide.When fum igating Mickle says the following points should be kept in m ind: (1) Make the bin as air tight as. possible. (2) If carbon di. sulfide is used, keep all fires away. A spark from turning on an electric light m ay ignite the fum igant. (3) Bury burlap sacks about half way and pour on fum igant, then cover with a tarpaulin to confine the fumes. (4) Use carbon disulfide at the rate of one pound for each 25 I bushels of grain. Use commercial ( mixtures as directed and allow bin i to fum igate for 48 hours or longer. Empty CoiCcn Ftour Bags Mo!;e Gcod Dress Material American woman’s Number One hobby is home sewing. Tliis past year, more homemakers have tak en up the profitable amusement than ever before. In a recent na tionwide survey, reasons given most often for tte sudden boom in home sewing were, to “economize an clothing e:q>enses” and “for entertainment.” Many bom* sewers reveal that ttejr tiss their empty cotton feed and flour bags as an inexpensive source of attractive sewing material. In recent years bag manufac turers have recognized the fact that sadcs have further use after they have served as containers for com modities such as feed, flour, sugar, and’ salt. Today many bags are designed in gay dress prints, colorful stripes, and bright geometric patterns, as well as solid white, so that women can take advantage of the bags in creating lovely clothes and house decorations after the original contents are emptied.The home sewing boom has giv- an an Idea to some bakers who use large quantities of flour. These bak- tefs launder their empty bags and piit them on sale in their shops, (Bering sewing material to their customers at m inim um cost. Seme of &e bakers sell large quantities of the empty cotton flour bags to grocery stores, which in turn, offer them to their customers who sew.

Pig brooders have been developed for this purpose. Their use w ill save an average of one and a half pigs per litter, according to Purdue univer sity. Brooders are easy to build and economical to operate. Generally, they are constructed by boarding off a corner of the farrowing pen to a height of about 16 inches. A roof is placed over this rectangular enclosure and a board nailed across the front opening about 8 inches above the floor. Heat is provided by a 150 to 300-watt lam p, the size depending on weather conditions. A hole is cut in the top, and the lam p placed in a suitable' reflector which is bolted securely over the opening. Pig brooders consume an average of 36 kilowatt hours of power per litter.

In aU the long sad story of mankind there is only one absolute conquest of death. It hap-, pened on the first Easter morning, and it was a turning point in the his tory of the world. [The few lines about the Resurrection, in o u r New Testament, would n o t cover the front page of this newspaper. We do not know all we want to know.But those few lines Dr. Foreman tell us enough to set us singing, they are a solid foun* dation for a soaring faith. • • • The M ighty Act of God W E shall be disappointed if we ^ expect the Gospels to "ex plain” the Resurrection. If there is '.nything the stories show clearly, t is that the first persons who knew if the Resurrection were confused md shaken by it. The disciples had lot expected anything like this, md they may not fuUy have under- itood what was going on. What they were sure of, what they could not deny, was first of all that Christ rose from the dead, and also that it was God who raised him from tb« dead, God had beaten the one unbeatable power — death. Death, the universal conqueror, turned ont for once to be the conquered. It is only those who can believe in an all-powerful God who can fully believe in the Resurrection. It Is The Lord WHAT MANNER of person was Jesus, after that first Easter morning? There were some differences hard to describe, and in fact not described, only hinted at. You notice that at times it was not easy to recognize him at first. Paul re fers to Christ’s “glorious body” and surely there must be a glory in a person who has actually proved too strong for death to hold—a glory such as even Christ, before Cal vary, had not shown. And yet—and yet, it was the same Jesus they had always known. No Ghost » Y NIGHT, in many a “seance,” mediums profess to get in touch with the spirits of the dead. If you could believe the spiritists, Shakespeare and Queen Victoria and innumerable other famous people, have come back and talked from beyond the grave. But the thing that makes the Christian church more than doubtful about such performances, is that some how the dead-and-come-back genius is never a genius any more. Neither Shakespeare nor any other famous person has said anything worth saying through a “medium.” And even these feeble ghosts cannot endure the daylight. They have to come at night. How different were th« com ings of Jesus! There was nothing weird or uncanny about him . Around the supper table, or on an afternoon walk, or out on the lake shore under the morning sun . . . never the poor mumbling ghost of a seance, never any stupid trifles from his Ups, but word* of truths and comfort which the church cherishes as among the best from our Lord’s m ind. Jesus’ resurrection is not the story ol the survival of a ghost, still less the mere return of a revived and walking corpse. It is the story of a Divine Person who conquered death, and who came back from that conquest in power and majesty, yet with all the tend.emess, love and brilliance he had ever shown. O ur Hope in Him PAUL (in I Cor. 15) makes it clear that our hope of life- beyond-death grows right out of Christ’s resurrection. The enemies of Christ would have given their right eyes to stop the mouths of the men who told that story, and to prove it a lie. But they could never do it. You cannot well stop people from believing what they have seen with their own eyes. So our hope ol eternal life is not just a hope. As Paul says, it that were all, we should be miserable men.

Answer: The N ational Lumber Manufacturers association, Wash ington, D.C., has several publica tions on the subject; some are free and others are available at a price. Protecting Silver from Tarnish Question: Is there any way to prevent silverware from tarnish ing? Isn’t there a preparation to apply on the silverware as a thin coating to prevent tarnish? Answer: Dealers in jewelers’ supplies usually sell a lacquer for this purpose, but firm s of this kind are only found in large cities. If you caruiot get it, a clear lacquer, sold at a well-stocked paint store, can be used instead. After polishing the silver, wipe it with benzine and then apply the lacquer. 1 SAVE A LOT OF STEPS BY KEEPING AN EXTRA CAN OF k3-IN-0NEj IN THE ^BASEMENT,') Blessed Relief From Constipation Misery “Irregularity made me feel so miserable ' I often had to stay home.

GERMANY: A Sour Note The Big Four conference in Paris was underway. For the first time ■in the cold war between East and iWest there was real hope that har mony would be forthcoming. In fact, Secretary of State Dean Aoheson had been warned by Sen ator Vandenberg, senate foreign affairs committee chairman, not to be too aggressive with the Russians, but rather to keep open, if possible, the door to lasting peace.WITH the Russian blockade of Berlin lifted and the Soviets apparently ready to sing a new tune in •world cooperation, the theme of the conference was to be harmony. ; But the delegates hardly had time to warm the seats of their chairs jbefore the Russians were at^ it again. Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky blandly proposed "that the council of foreign ministers .wipe out the new west German state and return German affairs, including direction of the Ruhr, to four-power control machinery.MANY had expected this course by the Soviets. They had predicted !that lifting of the Berlin blockade was done to soften up the ministers for this very proposal. But it didn’t work. A ll three western powers immediately rejected the proposition. The Soviet foreign minister showed little tact. He led up to his proposal with a long tirade denouncing the U.S., Britain and France for what he termed “viola tions” of the Potsdam agreements.SOVIET ideology could not toler ate a separate German state with autonomous powers and there was little question that the Kremlin would stand firm in this position. On the other hand there was no possibility that the western powers would recede from their intention to return government of Germany to the German people. Thus it would seem the impasse was clearly established. For the U. S., Dean Acheson delivered himself of what m ight v/ell be the decade’s masterpiece of imderstatement when he called the Russian suggestions “ disappoint ing.” But then he summed up the •world’s reaction when he added: “My hopes are distinctly chilled.” CONGRESS: Let's Wait A lot of "trouble for nothing” m ight be an apt phrase to describe a ll the national agitation against President Truman’s health insurance and civil rights proposals—for his own leaders in congress erased the issues by taking both hotly- contested items of legislation off the "m ust” list. ALSO slated for further delay was the administration’s four-bil- lion-doUar tax increase plan, the equally controversial Brannan farm program and the foreign-arms proposal. This left only three measure bills for top priority action. They were:1. Extension of the reciprocal trade program which has passed the house but is stalled in the sen ate. 2. Repeal of the Taft-Hartley labor act. 3. Ratification of the North Atlantic security treaty which re quires only a two-thirds m ajority vote in the senate. SENATE M AJORITY LEADER Scott Lucas indicated action m ight be sought before adjournment on minimum-wage boosts, the inter- national wheat agreement, and a pay raise for top government executives and m ilitary personnel. Speculation was that decision to abandon for the- time the compul sory health insurance program stemmed from mounting congres sional clamor for sharp cuts in government spending, with the civil rights legislation delay believed motivated by fear of a southern filibuster. Congress wants to adjourn by August, and consideration of any of the “powder keg” legislation might make that impossible. LUCAS said he thought President Tnm ian was “definitely satisfied” with the progress being made. That surprised some legislators, for unless congress repeals the Taft-Hartley law, the President w in be unable to point to accomplishment of any of his campaign pledges when congress adjourns. STAND-IN IN DOGHOUSE Potent- V o te POTENT VOTE . . . This lone woman voter, to whom a pair of shoes would be a Godsend, is shown as she cast her ballot in the elections held in the Rus sian zone of Germany. The Rus sians had hoped to make a big propaganda gun of the election —a gun that would be used in the “Big Four” conference beginning May 23. But the Soviets had to adm it that one-third of the valid ballots cast voted against tbe all-Commnnist slate. FORRESTAL: "Better to Die . . “Comfortless, nameless, h o p e- less, save in the dark prospect of the ya-wning grave . . . better to die, and sleep the never-waking sleep than linger on ” Wito the im port of these lines from' Sophocles’ “Chorus Prom Ajax” so obviously goading his consciousness, Jam es V. Forrestal, former U. S. defense secretary, plunged to his death from the 16th floor of national naval medical center in Washington. , FORRESTAL had been under treatment for “operational fa ti^ e ” since April 2. Attendant physicians said he had been considering sui cide, that the nature of his m alady indicated this mental condition as an inescapable adjunct to it. But they felt he was getting better; in fact they had hoped to release him from the hospital in 30 days. As secretary of defense, Forres tal labored under a burden such as few national servants have carried. His was the job of directing the gigantic naval program during the war, as well as the almost hope less task of attempting unification of the armed forces. The strain was great and a sympathetic people could understand why it m ight have broken a strong man. President Truman took full cog nizance of Forrestal’s worth when he declared the former defense secretary was “as much a casualty of war as if he had died on the fir-! ing line.” BUT there was an added burden weighing on Forrestal. That was a biurden of attack and -vilification from two of the nation’s top radio newscaster-columnists. After his shocking death, the press of the nation began to revalue the im pact of its effect and that of the radio. Some nationally-syndicated observers charged that the attacks upon Forrestal via radio and in print had added to his load of desperation. They advanced the premise that unless some check was put upon this type of journal ism, it m ight discourage many able men from entering government service. There is possibly no agony of mankind comparable to that which must go on in the m ind of the m an about to take his own life. It is wholly foreign to the concept of the normal, every-day m ind. Certainly it flies in the face of the very first natural law—self preservation. Weighing all this, it is difficult to understand how there could be anything but sympathy for Forrestal, and an honest effort to tmderstand something of the torturous mental suffering wliich drove him to leap to his death. G o o se on Loo se P ertu rb s G o ld Rush Fe te Genevieve the goose was on the loose and her successor was in the doghouse. Genevieve the first was a plump young bird bought from a farmer to play the role of the goose that laid the golden egg for Uie Women’s Medical college ’49 Gold Rush fete in Philadelphia. An im portant role which the ladies were determined to see done right. But Genevieve, obviously a vaga bond at heart, vamoosed from file car in which she was being brought to town. A Philadelphian living in M iam i read about Genevieve and had an idea. He’d replace ■ her with a goose he’d seen hanging around the Hialeali race track. He went to the track, found Genevieve the second waddling about. (JOB OUTLOOK: {Better for Grads ^ W ith starting salaries holding jlin n at last year’s record high levels, signs of a last-minute pick up in jobs for the mammoth 1949 class of college graduates were showing up, according to an an nual employment survey by the fam ily economics bureau of North western National Life Insurance Company. Although two-thirds of the 133 colleges and imiversities covered to date find their total employment calls a ll the way from slightly to “ disappointingly” below 1948, schools reporting in the final week of the survey have shown a much better ratio, the summary says. Approximately half of the late re sponses report their record of job offers to date as equal to or slight ly above 1948 experience. DARTMOUTH college’s school of business administration ob serves, for example, “We were disturbed by the February-March slump, but the later pick-up has •wiped out our losses,’ ” St. Louis university also reports that demand faded in February and March, but'as of the past six weeks it has begun to develop beautifully.” Uni versity of Nebraska’s college of 'business administration notes a stronger employment demand in the last ten days. But Duquesne uni versity at Pittsburgh reports, “Calls in general are less than in 1948 except those for sales person nel which have increased.” Boston university says job offers are 7 per cent fewer than last year; Ohio State finds about the same number of employers represented on the campus this spring, but each firm taking fewer men. Yale university has recorded more em ployment calls than as of a year ago. FIV E out of every six schools listed in the survey report starting salaries to be as high or higher than last year. Prevailing range of offers is from $200 to $275 per month for business administration and liberal arts seniors, and from $225 to $.^25 for engineering grads, with exceptional men getting still higher offers. lUinois Institute of Technology reports: “The class of 375 engineers graduating January 29, 1949, averaged $280 per month for a basic 40-hour week; this is the highest average salary of any class in our history.” TOURISTS: More Cultured The American tourist these days was coming in for a new type of treatment from his overseas hosts. For instance, in Capetown, South Africa, according to merchants, the new tourist is not the “vulgar type which used to invade Europe in hordes, wearing hom-rimmed glass es and loud clothes.” “THIS new American is well bred, quiet, wealthy, but has the fam iliar souvenir m ania,” said one curio dealer. “One bought every thing I showed him . ‘Is it genuine Zulu?’ he kept asking.” Then, the dealer added, “he took all my shields, assegais and bead- work. I had to call a ricksha to get the stidif down to the ship. And when he saw the ricksha, he wanted to buy that.”AMERICANS no doubt w ill palpi tate -with pride at this new evaluation of their cultural level by those abroad who profit most from tour ist business—but most w ill console themselves with the fact that so long as he has any money, the American tourist w ill manage to get along quite well wherever he m ay be in Europe or elsewhere. V ic tim s Mrs. Ralph J . Fugatt holds Mark Richard, 7 weeks, at their Springfield home. Her husband has never seen his son because he is- in Rutland, Vermont ja il under an early 1800 law which demands payment of court judgment or paupers oath. CRIME: Penalty Apropos A Midland, M ich., judge sagely fitted the punishment to the crime in a case in municipal court. Two youths, 21 and 18, were brought in on a charge of crashing a wedding party and running away with the wedding cake. They said they did it on a dare. After pondering a moment, the judge ordered the culprits to buy a wedding present and give it to the newlywed." MIRROR Of Your MIND J ^ Guilt Causes Renunciation By Lawrence Gould W ill a m an “renounce” a girl he really loves? Answer: Yes, if he has an exaggerated sense of guilt which drives him to deprive himself of happiness. Under such conditions, the Stronger his love, the surer he will be to find some plausible excuse for giving her up, since what he fears most of all is what he thinks w ill make him happy. But the average man who tells his sweet heart that he cannot m arry her because he is “imworthy of her” is more often trying to deceive her —or himself. He really is afraid she represents a standard which he is unwilling to try to live up to. Could children grow up without homes? Answer: No, writes Kate Fried- lander, British welfare worker, in the Journal of Mental Science. For a child’s conscience develops out of his relations with his moth er, and he must have constant contact with her during the first six years of his life if he is to learn to transform his prim itive instincts into useful and effecUvA patterns of behavior. “The development of an ethical code that w ill be strong enough to govern the individual’s future actions is dependent on the existence of fam ily life,” and nothing else can' replace it. Docs seeking “perfection’' prove high standards? Answer: No. It shows that you are morbidly afraid of being criti cized, either by others or by yourself. What makes your standards 5 high—and so rigid—is that you don’t dare to leave the finest loophole in your defense against largely im aginary accusations. The woman who cannot bear to see a speck of dust in her house does not really love cleanliness; she’s afraid of being called a “bad housekeeper.” And the m an who cannot finish a job because he “can never get It done to satisfy him ” is the -victim of a sim ilar fear.

AttMP KEEPING HEALTHY Today's Most Amazing Medicine By Dr. James W. Barton AS YOUR PHYSICIAN thinks over the past 10 years, you would naturally believe he would have in m ind the wonderful work of saving lives now being done by penicillin and the sulfa drugs. Dis eases that were practically all fatal and others in which but a small percentage recovered, are now suc cessfully battled by these antibiotics, as they are called, because :they k ill the organisms which for merly caused death. Two other antibiotics, streptomycin and aureo- ■mysin, have been recently added to m an’s defenses. It m ay come as a surprise to many to learn that your physician is thinking more about the blood coursing through your blood ves sels as he realizes—as he did not realize just 10 years ago — that blood is today’s most amazing medicine. “It has become more of a m iracle worker than penicillin.” In a pamphlet. Blood’s Magic For A ll, issued by the Public Affairs Committee Inc., a non-profit, educational organization in New York City, Alton L. Blakeslee states that blood already does more lifesaving jobs than any one of our wonderfiU drugs. If, on a single day, you looked in upon the hospitals in one large city, you m ight see the following: A surgeon, in a brain operation, packs a soft, white spongy mass into a wound. It quickly stops the bleeding and he leaves it there. The body wiU gradually absorb this sponge—fibrin fbam—because it is made from human blood. He covers the exposed brain with transparent plastic film , This film , made from blood, stays -safely till the body m anufactures,a new covering. In the accidtot ward, a quick injection of a clear liquid, human serum albumin, -made from blood, saves a dying m an from shock.In the .delivery room a new-born baby is being gi-ven a complete new blood supply to halt a possibly fatal battle caused by Rh anti bodies in his veins.A boy who is a “bleeder” is given an injection of a blood product that enables him to have diseased teeth removed. H E A L T H N O T E S From A pril to November of 1947 a total of 72 patients with tuberculous meningitis were treated at the University of Athens. All nine patients who didn’t receive strep tomycin died, whereas of the 63 who received injections of the drug, 29 survived. The earlier the treat ment the greater were the chances of recovery. “Early,” in this case, means within the first 10 days fol- Icjwine the onset of the attack. No one is bom a neurotic. It is more our surrounding “ culture,” our personal environment, which drive us to neuroses. A neurosis begins in disturbances in close human relationships.* * • Notwithstanding all that has been learned about the rheumative dis turbance, it still causes more disability than any other ailm ent except perhaps the common cold.

Shuns Spain INSIDE REASON why the Ameri can delegation to the United Na tions abstained from voting on Spain was because M rs. Eleanor Roosevelt threatened to denounce the state departm ent publicly if it voted for Franco. Warren Austin, the U.S. delegate, was all set to vote for sending am bassadors back to Spain when Mrs, Roosevelt found out about it. Im m ediately she telephoned secretary ot state Aeheson and gave him her very blunt views on getting cozy w ith a dictator who had played ball w ith Hitler and Mnssolini during the war. Any move to embrace him , Mrs. R . told Aeheson, would only embarrass the truly democratic nations ot western Europe and play into the hands of the Communist propaganda machine at a critical tim e in world affairs. Aeheson seemed impressed with Mrs. Roosevelt’s argum ent and suggested as a compromise that the American delegation abstain when the vote came up. He further promised to issue a statement blasting Franco as a dictator .created w ith the help of H itler and Mussolini, which he later did. This [satisfied Mrs. Roosevelt and she has said nothing more about the imatter. Senatorial Triangle The two women who are fighting jover Sen. H arry Cain, Republican of Washington actually came face to face the other day.• Mrs. Cain, who was put on notice by her husband in a public press conference that he was divorcing her, nevertheless turned the other cheek and went to the hospital to visit the sick senator. While there. Miss M ary H all, a senate secretary who m ay m arry Senator Cain after the divorce, also arrived for a visit. The sudden meeting was too much for M rs. Cain and she lashed out at Miss H all for stealing the senator’s affec tions. “ You m ay have the game,” she sizzled, “hut you’ll never get the nam e.” Later both women cooled off and Walked out . of the hospital to gether.The Cain divorce is supposed to become final on June 14. The lawyer who is handling the m atter for Senator Cain in Tacoma, Wash., is Ed Eisenhower, Ike’s brother. Rent Control Battle The legislatures of Alabam a, Texas, Nebraska and Florida now are considering bills introduced by real estate interests to abandon rent control. One of the public-opinion gimmicks put out by some of the real estate boys is that a jstate can temporarily get rid ' cf rent control, then later re store it—under the rent act recently passed by Congress. However, this is not the case. The rent-control act passed by con gress categorically and definitely bars ,=ny reinstatement of federal rent control if a state or city once votes to decontrol. In other words, if a state or city once breaks away from the rent-control program it can never come back again. Atomic Contracts Painstaking, persevering Sen. Joe O’Mahoney of Wyoming has been applying the scourge to big monopolies for years. Now he has come up with revealing information on the way big corporations handle big contracts with the government. In 1946 the atomic energy commission signed a contract with General Electric for atomic energy work at Hanford, W ash., and Schenectady, N. Y ., imder which G. E. was paid a ll its costs plus a fixed fee of $1. The total amount obligated under this contract was 370 m illion dollars, of which seven m illion was paid to General Electric for salaries, training of per. sonnel, etc. Meanwhile, Senator O’M ahoney points out that it has be- £ome a common practice of the atomic energy commission to get around congressional ap propriations by authorizing blanket contracts in such a way that Congress cannot judge their validity. In the current year, for instance, the commission has contract ap propriations of 600 m illion dollars and congress has no way of knowing what it’s all about. Britisii Gomproinise American Ambassador Leighton Stuart in China is m ad as a hornet at the British for trying to make a deal with the Chinese Communists behind his back.W ithout telling Stuart a word, British representatives talked with the Chinese Communists twice. By accident Stuart has discovered that what the British have proposed is this: If the Chinese Communists let the British keep Hong Kong, the British government then w ill be willing to recognize the Reds. AS BABY-SITTERS, FOOTBALL PLAYERS . . .Gridders, Says Lou Little, Make Good Sitters . . . WOULD MAKE JUNIOR STAY IN LINE By H. I. PHILLIPS GRIDDERS ARE SITTERS Lou Little, famous Columbia footb all coach, has appealed for jobs for football players as baby sitters. ■ “It is no gag,” he says. “I wiU personally guarantee that any of m y players w ill prove 100 per cent dependable.” So there.

"Would that the night were here and the hours through!” I Restless, my heart aied out, and then there came IA sudden shaft of sun and a Sain of blue, S Catching the cunained darkness like a flame. I And there was firelight dancing upon the hearth; j There was a small book weighted with golden lore; j A song rode in on the wind-waves of the earth; A neighbor breafted the Storm to reach my door. I A beloved voice came to me over the wire, : And there was a letter from many a mile avray. I Shut-in? My heart was ashamed of its desire; It would have missed so much had it missed today. By IN EZ GERHARD C Y HOWARD, at 31 is at the top in his second career. Four years ago he was a successful actor; he played the lead in “Storm Operation” on Broadway. Now a writer and producer of radio shows —“My Friend Irm a,” “Life with Luigi,” and a new one, “The Pri vate Lives of Eddie and Anne”— he is also an associate director, pro ducer and writer of motion pictures. “My Friend Irm a” is his first one. “M arie Wilson steals the show,” he assured m e; but a mo- CY HOWARD m eat later, “John Lund is wonder fu l; steals the show.” He said the same of Dean M artin and Jerry Lewis—but didn’t mention that he plays the voice of “Joe,” heard 'only on the phone, CBS and Para- 'mount are lucky to have him imder contract. > W ith M-G-M shooting sequences for “Adam’s Rib” all around New 'York pretty girls wearing dark ^ s s e s learned to avoid crowds; ithe interested spectators suspected .them of being movie actresses.

All six principals—G e n e Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Jules Mnnshln, Ann M iller, Vera-EUen and Bet ty Garrett, worked two days at flie Brooklyn navy yard. Cast in a m inor role in “Riding High,” Dorothy Barrett sang a song for members of the cast during a break; Director Frank Capra ,heard her and chose her to sing with Bing.

Her next step up is a fea- 'tured role in “Copper Canyon," Technicolor western. ficulty associating "Rock-a-bye Baby” and "Sleep, Pretty One, Sleep” with “Block that kick!” and “H it that line hard!” They found it hard to think of a husky fullback as the best person to !;iandle kids who made up their own rules as the evening went along._•_ It did not seem to mother that when she asked, “Do yon think the baby is all right?” she would find comfort in father’s answer, “ Yes, my dear. Remember that our baby sitter for tonight booted the longest punt in the 1918 season!” But on more sober reflection most people decided that, children being the problems they are when mom and pop are out, it m ight be reas suring to know that they are in the hands of a baby sitter coached in a rugged school and with a good record for victory, on fields wet or dry.-__•_ Kids are quick to recognize authority. They know when they are up against heavy odds. In the man ner and actions of a university grid star, they sense power, speed, de termination and the old “do or die” spirit.__•__ Few children w ill try to sit np until m idnight listening to the radio If the baby sitter is all-American m aterial.» Baby is not going to whip out the airgun around 9:30 and take some pot shots at the old woman across the courtyard, knowing that a great broken field runner is on watch. No kid is going to howl for a cooky if it can see in the eyes of the b a% sitter the never-yield-an- inch spirit of a football man around whose end no opponent made any progress in two seasons.__*__ A ll in all, parents should feel easy with a football star as a baby sitter. Even in a home where the kiddies are sure to get rambunctious a crack gridiron m an can de-' tect the signals, sense the trick! plays and stop the formations.

Trying to follow both is doing the American nervous! system no good. We found ourself shouting, “Slide ya big bum !” at a horse the other day and yelling, “Stop pullin’ his head off,” at a ballplayer._»_ It is all quite confusing. To see both sports, a video addict has to be pretty fast on the switches. In a stirring ball game it is quite a; trick tuning out- at the proper mo-i m ent to catch the horses all set ini the starting gate. And in an espe-j d ally inaportant horse race split-! second judgm ent is necessary in' deciding when to tune out of the horse oval and into the ball park._*_ He liked a horse on which Arcaro was announced as the jockey. “Ar- caro!” he exclaimed. “That’s poor judgment. They pitched him yesterday.”• Then while the race track an nouncer was chatting on generalities, Elm er dove back into the base ball channel. The home team had a m an on second, one out and a big hitter up. It added to his pulse beat and general confusion. “Come on!” he yelled, “Don’t go wide on the turns. Ya can’t lose at the weights!” Back to the ponies he switched, just in time. The horses broke as one. Elm er liked something called Mike’s Pride. “Atta baby,” ha cried, “You got your stuff todayl” ' The ffCiion SMILING LOSER By Richord H. Wilkinson Corner W IR B Y FOUND the girl seated on ^ a n upturned box behind the sta bles crying. He hesitated, feeling awiiward, then said: • “Hello. Anything wrong?” She looked up quickly, apprais ingly. “No, please go away.” Instead, Kirby squatted on his Q-Minute heels. “You O Fiction some money on that last race. Black Fox fooled every one by not coming in. I lost too.” “I suppose I ’m a baby to cry, but I couldn’t help it. I—we— father and I staked everything on Black Fox. Then that terrible I ’m- a-Runnin’, who nobody thought had a chance, bad to win.” She hestitated, dabbing at her eyes. He seemed like a nice young m an. And she did so want com pany and to talk . . . He discovered her name was Polly Hayden. The next day he called' at her house and met her father, a jolly faced old gentleman with white walrus moustaches. “We really shouldn’t feel so badly,” Polly told her father after the introductions were over. “Kirby lost a lot more than we and he isn’t complaining at a ll.”That night Polly and Kirby had dinner at a little inn out on the Tam iam i traiL He knew she was wondering when and how he ^yas going to pay his racing debts, and where he was going to get the money to establish himself in the law business. You just can’t hang out a shingle in M iam i and expect btisiness at once.But he didn’t offer the informa tion. The next day he hired an office on Flagler street, then called up Col. Stratton and asked that racing enthusiast to meet him at Hialeah. “Colonel,” he said over a sand wich and coffee an hour later, “I ’m going to take you up on the offer you made me for I ’m-a-Rtuuiin’. He’s yours for $50,000.” The colonel stared, “Now w ait a minute, Elrby, Has the horse died or broken a leg or something?” “Nothing of the sort,” Kirby laughed. “I ’m quitting racing for good. It’s no business for an energetic young lawyer to be wasting his tim e at. I hired an office this morning.” They went out to the stables and looked at I ’m-a-Runnin’. The colonel couldn’t understand it, but he wrote his check for $50,000 and the papers were passed. Conscious of a queer sensation in the pit of his stomach, Kirby headed back for the stables for a last farewell. Outside I ’m-a- Runnin’s stall he stopped dead still at sight of Polly Hayden talkmg with his stable boy. t j e R EYES blazed at him . “So! ^ The good loser. The m an who can lose everything, who w ill have to spend the rest of his life paying his racing debts and still smile! Oh, what a fool I ’ve been!” “W ait a m inute! Listen!” He caught at her arm but she jerked away. He followed her out to her car. “You’ve got to listen,” he said desperately, getting in beside her. “I only did it because I thought it would make you feel better. And it worked. I meant it when I said I was through with racing. I ’ve sold I ’m-a-Runnin’ to Colonel Strat ton. Look!” He held out the bill of sale and the check. She stared at him round-eyed, frightened. “ Oh, yon shouldn’t have! Kirby, yon shouldn’t! You’ll never be able—I mean, you love horses. Any one can see that. You loved I ’m-a- Runnin’.” “Not half as much as I love you,” he told her soberly. He put his arm around her. “You believe that, don’t you? You must believe it.” “Darling, of course I do. And— I am glad that you’re gomg to be a respectable lawyer, only—only—” “Only what?” “Well, sometime, after we’ve been respectable for a good long while, we’ll buy another horse, won’t we? A horse as great as I ’m-a-Rimnin’? Because—we both love horses, don’t we?” "W e do,” Kirby agreed joyfully. m m m piiile ACROSS DOWN 19. Organ of1. A pen 1. Opportunity hearing5. Movable 2.

BENSON PusiitHt—MtrdiHj Cctteje Scttta, I H ow ’s B ritain N ow ? Current news reports siiggest that the British are still having a tough tim e, though things seem a little bet ter with them lately. Actually, it is high tim e for signs of recovery. How m uch better off England would be right now—how much sooner she would have come out of the kinks if she had kept safe her traditional freedoms—that no one knows. But if the English m ind and spirit come out of these dangerous experiences unscathed, it w ill surely be a miracle. (There are those who w ill give more credit for improvements to the M arshall Plan and to the generosity of the American taxpayer than they w ill to Britain’s labor government.) The sad thing about it is that the Englishm an is still the worse off, having given up much of his heritage of freedom and liberty.Mess of Pottage The swap has netted a poor mess of pottage indeed. England’s experi ence is the lesson of the century for America. There was the dentist, for example, who took his own life because he found it impossible to oper ate his office as the government ordered. His suicide note cited too many forms to be filled out for the government and declared he could not do his work and the red-tape too.W hat about sm all business? Take filling stations (petrol there). From a London newspaper: “After two years of deliberations, a committee of 13 men has reported to the government on the technical considera tions which should govern the number, capacity, and distribution of petrol stations.” Im agine! That is the result, when people hand over their individual initiative to govern ment.How to Make Tea Under the heading “First Warm the Teapot,” an item in a British newspaper advises that the food m inistry is sending out an expert who w ill visit restaurants in Tottenham and educate the restaurant staffs on the subject of how to make tea! As if by now, the English people have not learned to make tea.Some of these seem a bit ridicu lous. They are. Like the report of demands for “free” wigs having risen imder socialized medicine to more than 200 a week—at a cost of more than $4,000,000 yearly. It is reported also that “Application Order No. 2” w ill entitle hairless men and women to the nationalized wig cleaning and dressing service, once every two months. From cradle to grave, indeed!Liberty in Flight In Froxfield, England, K. J. Kil- lord was building a house. He want ed a round hall window in his new home. But the “area planning com mittee” said no; the window must be rectangular. “A round window would be out of place in a rural area,” the panel declared. Commented Kilford; "There is no individual liberty today.” That happened in England. The whole British story of snarling bureaucracy may remind read ers of wartime experiences in America. It indicates, too, that govern ment control clashes with individual freedom. Shall we in America be able to keep our freedom? Hav« yon heard Or.

R4 We are not resnnnsible for com ing into this world, but are respon. sible for the wav we live and how we go out. This responsibility is great and solemn. How are we treating it? What are you living for? As for may part I am living for God and my followmen. Every person should have a pnr- tJose that is good, great and worth while. No one shontd live for the wrong purpose. When one’s life is given to God fully we know that he aims high, plans well and has a purpose that fs worthy to live by and die by. Are you living merely to merely exists Do you aim higher than inst the temporal things of life? Does your heart and soul, mind and spirit rise heavenward and Godward, or do you confine your self onlv to the things of time and of life this world? What are you living for? Many people seem to live only for themselves. They want every thing that is earthly to come their way. They desire to take in, but have no interest in giving out. Deep-rooted selfishness never makes for greatness, ncr for peace, joy and bapniness. It never makes for blessing others, nor for the glorv of God. nor for heaven. Men who thirst for money and riches, or for the thines of this world, often do so by making the lives of others hard Thev teek to feather fheir nest my making the nests of those abont them thorny.

The answer was the affirm ative.“Show me your diploma,” da- manded the producer.

The very senators who were loudest in their demands for econo- my and most viclferons in their oroniises that expenses would be cut have yielded to the old locfll pres sures to promote projects in cheir own states, and then by trading votes with other senators have con trived to kill almost every efforr to reduce the budget. The House in passing the nine regular appropriation b'lls bad cut about $i billion from the totals, but in the Senate many of these cuts were resrored, and even in the House authority was granted to various agencies to enter into more contracts, so that the net result was a reduction of less than a half a MIHou io a total of more than $35 billiou. The particular bills on which Senators asked for increases for projects in their states were for riv. ers and harbors and reclamation funds In determining these funds, the House committee first decides the gross amount to be appJopriatcd. Then tbe Armv corps of engineers Invites the Senatots to speak for projects in their own state. When these two funds were un der discnpsiou this year, 70 Sena, tors, or more than seven out of ten asked for increases for projects in their own states.

Citing a recent survey of dties over 100,000 population with parking meters, by the Chicago depart ment of purchases and the National Institute of Governmental Pur- ,chasing, inc., the association notes that the 62 municipalities reported receipt of 7.1 m illion dollars from 95,466 meters last year. Cost per meter in 1,000 lots, delivered and installed, ranged from $58 to $76.50 —an average cost of less tiian the average annual income. Minneapolis’ average receipt from its 2,100 meters was $166.67 while neighboring St. Paul realized an average of $113.12 from each of its 1,340 machines. Dayton aver aged $108.92 per meter, Long Beach Cal.—$107.31 and South Bend, Ind. —$106.67. Maintenance cost, including labor, repairs and collections, averaged $6.99 per year for each machine. Only 33 of the 68 reporting cities gave comparable answers to this query. Clogging by foreign matter was the chief cause of parldng meter trouble listed by the cities. Bent coins, slugs and vandalism also took their toll of the machines. In total collections, Oaldand. Cal., iranked first with $380,000 from 4,- 1351 meters. Runner-up in coUec- .tions were Minneapolis—$350,000, Denver—$327,897 from 5,057 meters, and San Diego—$323,00') from 4,450 meters. FA IR ENOUGH The class was having a general knowledge lesson.

Ticlc-Free Sheep Pay Off; Eat Less, Bring More Casli More lambs, heavier lambs, more and better quality wool, as well as the need for less feed, are the rea sons expressed by Colorado sheep m en who adopted a sheep tick control program last year, reports Dr. A. A, Goodman, extension veterinarian, Colorado A & M college. Colorado sheep producers who sprayed or dipped their sheep with a suspension of DDT last year re port they saw a marked improvement in the condition of their sheep. Also, at shearing tim e this year they found a m aterial reduc tion in the tick population com- ^ pared to that of a year ago. y; They are repeating the applica- tj tion of DDT again this year in order j3 to fiurther reduce the tick infesta tion in their flocks, adds Goodman. «ByCks, says the veterinarian, are tj.a costly pest for Colorado ^eep- » men. They lower the vitality of anim als, retard gains, and lower the quality and quantity of wool. When ewes are sheared, ticks lose their protective covering and practically all of the ticks migrate to lambs. When lam bing has been completed a practical tick control program is to dip or spray the lam bs with DDT suspension about 10 days or two weeks after shear ing. When dipping is practiced, four pounds of wettable 50 per cent DDT powder to 100 gallons of water is recommended. COULDN’T LOSE When a company’s ace salesman WM transferred from New York to Chicago, his boss sent along a letter explaining that while he was the company’s best salesman, he had one serious vice—gambling. ■When he arrived, liis new boss said, “Young m an, I ’m sorry to hear that you like to^ gamble. What do you bet on?” “Anything,” answered the salesm an. “For instance. I ’ll bet you $25 that you have a mole on your right shoulder.”“I ’ll take that bet,” said the sales manager and peeled off his coat and shirt. The salesman paid off, and his new boss wrote New York about ^ e incident boasting that he had already taught tbe young man a lesson. In a few days he received this reply: “He wins again. Before he left he bet me $200 that he would have the shirt off your back five minutes after he met you.” Reflnishiflg Fnm iture RefinisWng furniture is one job that calls for plenty of work space and ventilation. Solvents to remove paint and vam ish may be made at home or bought ready-mixed. Commercial removers are generally recommended, as they are more ef ficient. They can be purchased in paint stores or departments. If the remover is liquid, shake the con tainer weU. “Lay” it on the furniture with a brush but do not brush it in. Let stand only until the old finish wrinkles or is soft; then lift off the gummy substance with a putty knife. Work with Hie grain of the wood and be careful not to injure it. To remove the softened finish from carvings and ttmied surfaces, use a softwood stick. P iaU n FUes Atlantic A trans-Atlantic record for wild waterfowl m ay have been set by a yotmg pintail banded at Hamilton inlet, Labrador, by A. J. Reeve of the W ildlife Management institute’s northeastern wildlife station. In stead of joining other pintails banded in the same trap, & is ad venturous individual headed east and was shot only 21 days, later on the River D art between Dartmouth and Totnes in South Devon, Eng land. Its trap-mates were recovered along the Mississippi flyway. Orni thologists cannot say whether this bird was a European pintail breed ing in Labrador or an American pintail wintering in Europe since only the band was recovered from the hunter. At any rate, the incident provides a terse commentary J on the amoimt of energy wrapped in the leathers of a w ild duck. REASON ENOUGH “I see you farmers raise hogs almost exclusively here.

S. forest service. Community forests, in Forest service terminology, include cojmty forests, although Wisconsin practice usually is to place the two in separate categories. It is Wisconsin’s vast acreage of coimty forests which puts it far in the lead. According to the report, Wisconsin has 2,387,416 acres in community forests compared with 2,026,534 for the rest of the nation, or a total of 4,413,950 for the United States.

Oar County And Social Security By Mrs. Ruth G. Dufiy, Manager. Gne question asked fraquently at any Social Security Field Office is this one: “Does everyone who has a Social Security Card get benefits?” Simply owning a Social Security Card does not in itself guarantee that you will get retirement bene fits at 65 or later, or that yout fam ily will receive benefits if you die, whatever your age. Any benefits paid to you or to your survivors depend on how long you have worked on jobs that are covered by the Socid Security Act. As you know all kinds of work are not covered. It is easy to see that many persons who have ac count number cards, will have worked at least some time on jobs covered by the Act, yet won’t get benefits because they worked most of the time on jobs that are not covered. Let’s look at the occupations not eovered by Social Security. A ll types of farm work are left out of this O ld Age and Survivors In surance; domestic work in private homes is left out; work for city, county, State or Federal Govern ment is passed over; the self-em ployed are not under this insur ance system; employees of non profit institutions and organiza tions solely for religious or educa tional purposes are barred. In our country, no one is forced to continue in the same employ ment. And, as he changes jobs, he may come under Social Secur ity only to leave that coverage when he takes another job which is not covered. Sometimes he’s in and sometimes he’s om; there fore, sometimes he can get bene fits when he is 65 and retires and sometimes he cannot, which is al so tme of survivors. The Social Security Administra tion, as required by law. makes recommendations for imptoving Old-Age and Survivors Insurance. The diief recommendation for the past several years has been to extend the protection of O ld Age and Survivors Insurance to all gainfully employed persons and to increase this p r o t^ o n against the loss of income from old age or death. 1 will be in Mocksville on Wed nesday, June 22, at the court house, second floor, at 12:30 p. __I will also be in Cooleemee on the same date at the Erwin • Cotton Mills office at 11 a. m. If" THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE. N. C. Two Big Questions ■pEPORE Secretary of State Ache- ® son left for Paris, he stopped by Capitol H ill for some last-minute parting advice, wliich w ill shed light on some of the policies the United States w ill follow at the big four conference. Two big questions came up dur ing the hour-long, closed-door con ference;1. How far should we go in con ciliating Russia?2. TOere should we draw the line on German recovery?Senator Vandenberg of Michigan cautioned the secretary of state against taking too stern a stand with the Russians. He agreed we mustn’t give ground or show signs of appeasement, but at the same tim e he urged keeping an open mind to any honest peace over tures. His attitude was that we shouldn’t “bum the last bridge.” Senator Thomas Ctab was blunt and to the point about rebuilding Germany. “Is there any feeling anywhere,” he asked, “ that we should rearm Germany as a buffet against Russia?" Acheson assured not, but Thomas kept hammering this point home. He warned that Germany, when she gets her strength back, might side with Russia; that Germany has closer ties to the East than the West; that the Germans even started rebuilding their arm y and navy across the Russian border after World W ar I. Thousands of Germans actually worked inside Russia until Hitler bit the hand that was helping him, Thomas ret called. To Waicli Germans Senator Lodge of Massachusetts argued that we should strengthen Germany’s economy without build ing up her warmaking capacity. To prevent a resurrection of German m ilitary power, he demanded that Acheson insist upon a close watch on Germany’s forces and factories.The secretary promised this would be done. He added that Russia would have nothing to say about the Ruhr, since she got nothing from the Ruhr in peace time. “What do you mean by Russia?” Senator Thomas broke in. “H you mean the satellite states, then Russia has all the interest in the world in the Ruhr.” Central European countries, now behind the iron curts ji, he added, always did a big business with the Ruhr, which would give Russia a voic^ in deciding the fate of the Ruhr. Acheson and Vandenberg alst engaged in a brief dispute over whether the right-of-way to Berlin definitely had been spelled out in the Potsdam agreement. Vandenberg argued that it hadn’t been put in “contractual form ,” and urged the secretary of state to see that our right-of-way to Berlin w aj made, dear at P aris., FDR, Jr., “ On Way” No one fought the election of Franklin Roosevelt, Jr., harder than Vito Marcantonio, sole Ameri can Labor representative in congress. The bouncing, brilliant leg islator from Manhattan stumped the 20th district, trying to defeat the namesake of the late FD R. But after it was an over and the votes showed young Roose velt to be the overwhelming victor, Congressman Marcan tonio met Congressman Chet Hoiifield of California on the floor of the House. Quote he: “You want to get aboard with Frankim Roosevelt. He’s really going places.” Note—Young Roosevelt’s victory in New York w ill be a big psychological boost to his elder brother in California where Jim m ie planj to run for governor. CIO Housecleaning CIO President PhiUp Murray’s attack on Commtmists and fellow travelers last week was even tougher than appeared in the papers.It was so devastating that the Commimist party - liners were thrown jn to complete confusion afid, at one point, Ben Gold, president of the left-wing Fur Workers union, became so disgusted with his fellow leftists he went out for a round of drinks.

FARM PLAN: More Curbs Asked Critics and supporters alike of Agriculture Secretary Charles Bran- nan's 1949 farm support program were surprised when Brannan asked sweeping new powers to control the nation’s agricultural production. THE latest Brannan proposals were contained in the full draft of the administration’s farm program which was laid before congress. In that program, the powers re quested would m ark the first time in the history of the nation—not ex cepting wartime—when farmers and their activities would be so com pletely under federal control. For example, Brannan asked that rigid marketing quotas, now usable on only six m ajor crops, be applied on the great bulk of farm products, including meat anim als, m ilk, poul try, eggs, fruits and vegetables.It was a bold stroke on the part of the administration and one that was gambling with farm er good will over the nation.For it was quickly discernible that, if enacted, this program would put the American farmer tmder fed eral control from the moment he arose to feed the chickens and other stock in the morning, until he tended his vegetables and worked his crops, milked the cows and ted the stock again in the evening. The big question was: Would the farmers stand for that, even if congress did enact the law? Farm ers would be given a choice because under the Brannan proposal, they would have to vote adoption of the program by a two-thirds vote of all producers. Brannan envisions a condition where prices would be allowed to move freely in the market with farmers getting a payment cover ing the deference if and when mar- icet prices fell below a predeter mined “fair” return. LABOR LAW: Gets Priority With domestic issues having been given the green light over foreign affairs, the U. S. senate was committed to wrestle out a new labor law—or repeal Taft-Hartley—be fore adjournment.The importance of the labor ques tion to the administration was indicated in the senate’s shelving dis cussion of the North Atlantic security pact im til the troublesome labor issue has been disposed of.THE reason was rather obvious. Organized labor, worried by an apparent disinclination of congress to go along with the President in repealing Taft-Hartley and fearing further delay, was pushing the administration to get going. There was constant reminder behind the scenes of the President’s campaign pledges to scrap the present overall labor law and labor wanted action. The 1950 congressional races weren’t too far off and the administration evidently felt it had better deliver or face labor’s antagonism at the polls next year. It was estimated some three weeks of debate woidd be necessary before the administration’s bill came to a showdown vote.M AJORITY LEA DER Scott Lucas declared that if all m ajor legislation were not disposed of by July SI, “we shall extend the length of the session until we have dealt with the most urgent proposals.” Baldness “ Cure” Buried on inside pages of most newspapers was a story which, if true, would have rated banner headlines in the eyes of those it concerned. FOR, from Een, Holland, there came a claim that Meinheer J. Van Rooyen, a bewildered little barber, could cure baldness—no fooling.The news leaked out, and the little barber shop v.ras thronged with visitors. Letters poured in by the thousands. The meinheer started it a ll him self by trying to stop his own thin ning hair from growing thinner, experimenting with various lotions and use of infra-red rays. ACCORDING to reports, he finally hit upon a combination that made his hair grow. Tried on other.>!, it succeeded. Now he is treating 160 people, working 13 hours a day. U.S. JOBS: Could Be Cut A contention that the government cut its civilian employe rolls by 10 per cent and “ accomplish exactly the same purposes” was made in Washington by former President Herbert Hoover. Declaring that could be done if the gove: were organized properly, Hoover said the savings to the payers m ight reach four to billion dollars a year. M R. HOOVER’S statement have carried some weight, there were only an optimistic who believed anything might done along the lines he pointed The former President was spea] mg with authority because a commission of which he had been named the head—a fact-finding body to uncover just such things as he had uncovered—had exhaustively studied government functions and processes and had reported its findings. A 200,000 cut in federal personnel would require no wholesale firings, he said. He added it could be accomplished through normal turnover, which now nuis abouf 500,000 a year. / BERLIN: New Issues The meeting of the big four council of foreign ministers had developed one fact—discussion of Ger man unity under current conditions was futile. So, it appeared attention would be turned to Berlin where some m ajor problems yet remained unsolved. Berlin presented concrete issues which many hoped could be resolved or, at least, discussed more profitably. The western powers were understood as ready to insist upon written agreements concerning rights in Berlin to replace oral understandings that alone have given them any rights in the im mediate past. It was also believed they would urge a single elected city council and retention of occupation status for their zone. It was believed inevitable that the question of four- power authority—which led to a deadlock over the veto right when tho whole of Germany was dis cussed—w ill arise again in relatioj) to a Berlin regime. LIDICE: Nothing at All It was hard to tell where possible Communist machinations began and truth left off, but if the charges of a Czech official that not one dollar of five m illion raised in the II. S. to rebuild Lidice was used, then the American people and humanitarian- ism generally had taken the worst rocking in years. JAN VODICKA, secretary-gen eral of the union of fighters for freedom in Czechoslovakia, said the collection to rebuild the city razed by the Nazis had been made “ among our compatriots in the United States and the rest of the American public, and the union has information that of the five m illion dollars collected, 30 per cent was taken by the collectors and nearly 70 per cent by the adm inistration.”There was a quick denial. In New York, Dr. Jan Papanek, resigned Czech U. N. delegate, said the Lidice memorial committee collected “$5,000 at the maxim um ” from Americans and never got a chance to apply any money to Lidice. LID ICE, as too few probably w ill remember, was the village near Prague which was completely de stroyed by the Nazis in retribution for the assassination of the German "hangm an” Reinhardt Haydrich. All the men of the village were killed and its women and children dispersed. CHILD LABOR: Law Is Strict Summer vacations were coming up and there would be hordes of youngsters seeking work during the long holiday. But if the wage and hour and public contracts ^vision of the U. S. department of labor had its way, a ll child labor would be done strictly according to law. PROM Cleveland, the director, WiUiam S. Singley, issued a reminder to all employees of school boys and girls under 18 that age and employment certificates for such workers must be on file. He pointed out that these certificates “are considered as proof of age and serve to protect employers from unwitting violations of federal laws regulating the employment of children.” Under the fair labor standards act, the m inim um age for most jobs is 16, but in occupations declared to be especially hazardous for yovmg workers, the m inim um age is 18, MINE SAFETY: Lewis Wants Law Attacking state regulation of mine safety codes, John L, Lewis, leader of the U n it^ Mine Workers, demanded a federal safety law to “prevent coal miners from being maimed, mangled and killed.” CHARGING that the “nation’s coal is stained with blood,” Lewis produced •IF YOU CAN'T BEAT ‘EM . . Shanghai Populace Swings to Communists states and there is no way to implement fed eral suggestions and recommendations, Lewis contended that states are falling down badly. LEW IS’ testimony chiefly carried the theme that the states have tailed to enforce safety regulations and that the mine operators are not going to pay any heed to safety unless forced to do so. Remember .Him? It was mostly beer and skittles for the Communists in Shanghai. The city and its millions had swing into the Communist camp, not by degrees, but with what appeared to be an enthusiastic rush. Along long lines of avenues. Red flags Qcw from every shop. Newspapers reversed their policy overnight and began to sell the populace on communism. Students danced and sang Communist songs. A ll traces of any nationalism or opposition to communism appeared to be gone. In the customs house work appeared to be stopped. Instead, clerks assembled in the haUs learning Commu nist songs. Chinese radio stations spent much time giving singing lessons. The words were read over slowly, then music was played. How many w ill remember the gentleman shown above? W ell, the question is hardly a fair one for his public Always saw him in fight trunks, not street togs. He is form er heavyweight fighter Buddy Baer, whose en gagement to Hollywood column ist May Mann, put him in the news. TOBACCO: Less for Farmer For farmers who grow tobacco, the take was just about half as much as Uncle Sam collects in taxes from the product. This admission came from the U.

Good Clean Pasture Helps Poultry Men Home Grown Feeds Cut Operating Cost Good clean pasture and plenty of home grown feeds for your pullet crop pays dividends in more eggs, lower production costs and b ig g n poultry profits. The use of range shelters, range feeders and barrel waterers makes such a program easily possible.Missouri university tests show tljat pullets on well-fertilized alfal fa pasture consumed 17 per cent less feed than birds on bare range. The pasture-fed pullets needed les* feed for each pound of gain. Birds on clean pasture were healthier 1955*39 1948 f 0 # 9 170 ftOZ 1 TON 90D0Z •UVflTON and more energetic. M ortality rate was lower and there were fewer culls. Out of 100 pullets a t foui weeks of age, 94 of the alfalfa* raided birds later went into th« laying house, compared to 70 of ttiose raised on bare ground. Pur due university tests showed that ladino clover w ith com and snaal] grains provided a complete ratios for laying flocks. Getting good pasture and a cheap and plentiful supply of grain is a m atter of putting farm soil in shap« to produce bigger yields per acre. For this you need a rotation in which deep-rooted legumes and grasses are keystone. You need ta build up the organic m atter supply via plowed-under legumes, cro{ residues and manure. You need tc feed the soil a good ration of plani nutrients, so It, in turn, can feed the crops. In such a program, fertilizer is an im portant member ol the soil-building team. A t current prices, eggs w ill b u j nearly twice as much fertilizer as 10 years ago. It takes only 90 dozen eggs to buy a ton of 3-12-12 ferti- tizer today, whereas it took 170 dozen back in 1939. Check Work Stock Owners of the 55,000 horses and mules on M aryland farm s hav» been urged to “check intake valves, remove carbon from the cylinders, and adjust the carburetor.” Those terms aren’t as mixed a i one m ight think. Joseph M. Vial, extension anim al husbandman, ex plained that a horse’s mouth and teeth m ay be compared to intake valves on a tractor. The teeth need to be floated (just as the intake valve needs to be properly seated) if they are to meet evenly and let the horse chew his feed properly. Just as tractors are troubled with carbon in the cylinders, horses may have trouble w ith internal parasites. These m ay be removed by any competent veterinarian and the horse wiU be a better worker during the coming siunm er. The carbtaretor on the tractor adjusts fuel supply to the work load. For horses, this is accomplished by getting them in proper condi* tion before the heavy work load comes. V ial recommends this be done by “feeding the horse a hand ful ol oil m eal with his grain at this tim e of year to keep him in good condition and by giving him as many jobs to do as possible; such as spreading manure or hauP ing logs.” Other recommendations include: “Keep water in his cooling system, keep his tires in good condition by having him properly shod and se« that his harness fits.” farm Record Keepers Told of “Short Cut" “It’s easier to keep up than to catch up,” advises Clara Leopold, extension home management spe» clalist at the University of Nebras- I ka, to the home and farm account recordkeeper. Another hint, she says, is to keep a pencil attached to the account records. According to Mrs. Leopold,, a certain tim e each day should be set aside to jot down the daily transactions.

Justice Jackson ptdled the rug from under the five justices by saying that if the highest court doesn’t temper its doctrinaire baloney with a little horse sense it w ill convert the b ill of rights into a national suicide pact.

Wilkinson Corner A W EEK after I established resi dence in Seabrook, Ray Quimper, m y next door neighbor took tim e oft to drive me around the town and show me the points of interest. Toward evening he stopped his car before a driveway that led up to a huge brick house on top of Drybridge H ill. It was the only brick buUding in town and could be seen for i^ e s around. I had wondered about it since the day3-Minute of m y arrival Fiction Prince Alex ander Moisevich Deborin,” he explained. I looked at him curiously,, sensing that this was a proud moment for Ray. He had saved the brick house u n ^ last, like a child relishing the last morsel. “Of course,” Bay explained further “he has a city home too. B ut the fact is he spends the greater part of liis tim e out here. He craves solitude,” “Are you sure? I mean, wouldn’t it be fitting to let the m an know you’re glad to have him as a citizen?” “We’ve tended to that,” Ray said importantly. “Three days after his arrival a committee made up of leading citizens ■ waited on the prince and extended him a form al welcome.” He regarded me sagely. “We’re sm art enough not to antagonize the m an by pestering him to death.” On the day of which I write I was removing the storm windows from my house, for spring was near and the day was bright and warm. The prince came strolling along my street and stopped,, oddly enough, at the end of m y drive to watch. I perceived him from the corner of my eye, though gave no indication that I had seen. After a moment or two, much to my satisfaction, he turned in at the drive and came slowly toward me. At this precise moment the stepladder on which I was standing tilted precariously and the window I was removing threat ened to tumble to the groiuid. I uttered a cry of alarm , turned, perceived the prince as if for Uie first tim e, and shouted to him for aid. Involuntarily, he leaped forward and steadied the ladder im til I had descended.“Phew!” I grinned. “That was a close call.”“It was indeed,” he replied. “Would you m ind holding the ladder for me on this window over here?” He seemed a little surprised, but agreed to lend his as sistance. He proved as good a helper as I could have asked for. Three windows I removed while he steadied the ladder and helped me lower them to the ground. We chatted am iably about the weather. P R E SE N T LY the t a ^ was done * and I turned to him , grinning. “Thanks a lo t I don’t know how I would have managed without you." *“Really?” He seemed to appreci ate m y compliment. “Frankly, Tve enjoyed it, not only the work, but our little visit.” He hesitated. “You are new in town, aren’t you?” “ Comparatively,” I said. “It’s a m ighty nice town. Folks are aU like yourself. Ready and willing to lend a hand when help is needed.” I smiled happily. “ The fact that I know your name, Prince Alexander, proves a little theory of my own.” He stared in astonishment. "Y ou know who 1 am ? Yon help remove the windows?” I nodded. “Your philosophy and mine have a good deal in common. Prince. And that is, that you're no different from the rest of us. I ’d even venture to say tliat you are quite unhappy living up there in your castle so far removed from everybody. To prove that I am right. I ’m going to ask you a ques- Con. Tomorrow I ’m going fishing. Eow would you like to come along?” “I ’d like to very much,” he said. “But we must keep it a secret from the rest of the people. It would be a pity to destroy their illusion.” I agreed, winking at him knowingly, and the prince and I then and there shared a hearty laugh. Wl&T IS JESUS, after all? A name in a book? A picture on the walls of churches? More than ttiat! A historical character? Foun der of a great re ligion? More than that! He is the one and only Person who can be every where. He would be im portant if he had only lived; he is far more so be cause he lives on;But where does he live, and how?Christians would often feel lonely and discouraged, if it were not for one thing. They know Jesus prays for them. In long-ago times the High Priest of Israel used to pass beyond his people’s sight into the silent Holy of Holies, and when he did, the people knew that in that sacred place he was bearing on his heart the whole people, the people whom he served. So the writer to the Hebrews, in the New Testament, pictures Jesus as tho perfect High Priest, who hai passed beyond our sight, beyon( the beautiful blue veil of heaven, into the very -presence of God, where he lives, now to intercede for his people who are ever on his heart. Jesus lives on today in the life of prayer which we believe Is still his. No m atter what comes to the Christian, he can remember that One is praying for him who is stronger than all the world of evil. “ Greater is he that is for us than he that is against us,” said John the Apostle.* * • In His Book T UKE tells us that Jesus had to “ show some of liis friends his own picture in the Old Testament. His portrait is not .very plain there, but in the New Testament it is very plain indeed. The Bible leads up to Christ, he is its crowning figure. The Bible is, so to speak, a frame for his pictive. Many a person, in remote regions of the world, has become Christian just by readini about Clurist in some stray copy ol the New Testament. The reader be gins by reading about Jesus—then the pages come alive, and he meets Jesus, face to face. Jesus lives on, wherever the BiMe goes. CRDSSWOID PUniE lAST WEEK'S ANSWER ^ ACROSS 1.

But there cannot be any argument about one thing. When Jesus left his friends behind, he gave them orders to go tell the world about him . “Make disciples of all nations . . . Ye shall be my witnesses.” A shut-mouthed Christian isn’t much of a Christian. A shut-mouthed church is a poor sort of church. (Is it really a church at aU?) We do not believe that Jesus expected his followers all to become preachers. Indeed, we should remember that all A e first Clixistians were laymen. But they got results. One hundred twenty people grew to be three thousand, five thousand, in a few weeks. What is the reason «ia t 120 Cairistians today • don’t win 3,000 converts? One reason is that you would probably find those 120 Christians complaining that their church is "vacant,” they don’t have a pastor. The early Christians might have thought that very funny. How can a church be vacant with 120 people in it? Christ lives in his church.• • • Into All the World CHRISTIANITY is the only reUg- ion that can stand transplanting into any clim ate. There is no other religion that can number its peo ple from the Arctic to the equator, and from east to west around the world. But this is not an accident. It would not have happened by itself. Jesus himself in Galilee walked wherever he went, and in aU his grown-up life he did not walk farther from his birthplace ttian you could drive in an afternoon. But he walks on every shore. Where ship and camel and plane carry the missionary, there goes Christ: where the airways carry his message, there is he. Wherever Christians go, Christ goes in them and with them. He lives everywhere today where Christians live, he walks on Ciirist- ians’ feet. Beside the four Gospels in print, there is the Gospel Ac cording to You. Does Jesus live in and through you?

Meeting Closes A 10 day revival meeting at the First Baptist Church came to a close last Wednesday evening. Large crowds attended the even ing services, and much good was accomplished by the strong gospel sermons delivered by Rev. Wen dell Davis, of Statesville who as-_ sisred the pastor. As a result of the meetings, a number of reclamations and conversions took place, and a number of persons imited with the church. The town and community is better by having had this revival. Enjoyable Evening The “Tacky Party” and chicken fry held by the Veterans of Foreign Wars at the Club House on Thursday night was a distinct suc cess in spite of the heavy rainfall, which cut the attendance consid erably. Geo. Mason, Post Sr., V. Commander, was committee Chm. with Bill LeGrand supervising the cooking. Post Commander Richard Beed- ing called the meeting to order and then turned the gavel over to FredR. Leagans, who acted as master of ceremonies.First prize for the most tacky dressed man went to Fred Leag ans, with Hanes Holman as run ner up. First prize for the most tacky dressed lady went to Miss Kay Matthews, with Mrs. Maxa- lene Matthews runner up. Top honors for the most tacky dressed couple went to Mrs. Matlhews and Mr. Holman, with Mrs. Dorothy Mason and Mr. Leagans runnerup. The judges were Mayor-elect John Durham, Dr. Lester Martin and D.

Angell Reunion The second annual meeting of the Angell Association was held at Center arbor, Sunday, June 12.For the past 15 to 20 years the famUy of the late Wymouth Brady A n ^ ll met at his home for a pic nic dinner on the Sunday nearest his birthday. From this the As-! sociation was formed. | Dinner was spread on a long table near die arbor, for more than a hundred Angells and re latives. Nearly every county in Piedmont North Carolina, was re presented. After eating too much country fried chicken, ham, cake, pies, ice cream and cold drinks, everyone was called to their seats under the arbor by music from a string band. The business session was ca led to order by Chairman B. L. An gell, of Winston-Salem.

Start Making Your Stocks Of Jams, Jelly Goodies Early as Supply Fades lyrOST JAM and jelly cupboards * ^ are a sad sight to behold about this tim e of year because long months of u s e have depleted them pretty thor- joughly. Most I homemakers w ill ; find it a joy to start stocking fthem n o w with bright, jewel-Uke glasses of delectable jellies. Even for those of us who like a good store of jam and jelly, the job need not seem an unsurmount- able task. Make sm all batches and you’ll have better results in both flavor and color retention. Neither w ill you get tired that you never want to see another jelly glass again. Organize your work properly by getting out jars or replacing them. Wash them in sudsy water; rinse carefully and they w ill be all ready to place in cold water and started to sterilizing before you get ready for the fruit and berries. Many women like to get the glass wash ing cliore out of the way the day before, and this is an excellent idea. Utensils for working as well as the paraffin and sugar m ay also be laid out the evening before jel ly making day. Plan to make your batch first thing in the morning before the sun warms things up too much and makes you weary.• • * T JE R E ’s AN EASY guide for a favorite rhubarb and strawberry jam : Rhubarb-Strawberry Jam (KInkes 10 6-ounce glasses) 4 cups prepared fruit 7 cups sugar Vi bottle fruit pectin To prepare fruit: slice thin or chop, but do not peel, about one pound of rhubarb. Crush thoroughly about one quart fully ripe straw berries, Combine fruits and meas ure four cups into a large saucepan. To make the jam : add sugar to fruit in saucepan and m ix well. Place over high heat,' bring to a full, rolling boil and boil hard one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and at once stir in bottled fruit pectin. Then stir and skim by turns for five min utes to cool slightly, and to prevent floating fruit. Ladle quickly into glasses. Paraffin at once. Currants are rich in their own pectin and may be combined with other fruits not as rich in the sub stance to make fine jelly. Cherries in Currant Jelly 2 quarts currant jelly 8 pounds sugar 2 quarts pitted cberrles Wash, mash and cook slowly enough currants, with stems, to make two quarts of strained juice. Let currant juice come to a boil, then add sugar. Skim. Add cherries Strawberries and early rhubarb make one of the most de lightful and colorfnl jam combinations known in modern cookery. Young fry who like to work in the kitchen can be a great help to mother in preparing ingredients fruit is to be prepared. and cook slowly and steadily for 10 to 15 minutes. Pour into jeHy glasses, paraffin at once and set in a cool, dry place. LYNN SAYS:Jelly-Making Tips W ill Help You Assemble your equipment for jelly and jam making ahead of time. You w ill need a large mixing bowl, colander, a 6-quart saucepan, a sm all saucepan for paraffin, standard measuring cups, jelly glasses with covers and a utility tray. TOen melting paraffin for seal ing jellies and jam s, use a low flame or the wax will start to smoke. Raspberries, either by themselves or in combination with otber fruits make delightful jam s or jellies. Prepare the jelly glaisses by sterilization before starting the jam or jelly so they w ill be ready when the juice or fruit is to be prepared. LYNN CHAMBERS’ MENU Potato Salad Fried Onions Sliced Tomatoes and Cucumbers Biscuits ‘^Red Raspberry Jam Sliced Cantaloupe Beverage ^Recipe Given Black Raspberry-Currant Jelly 2 quarts black raspberries 2 cups water 1 quart currants SugarCook raspberries, currants and water for 20 minutes. Strain the juice and measure. Add an equal amount of sugar. Cook until a sm all amount of the juice dropped on a saucer jeUs. Ladle into jelly glasses and cover with paraffin at once. Raspberries do not have much pectin and for this reason they need pectin added to make them into acceptable jam . Use them alone or combined with strawberries. *Raspberry Jam '(Makes 8 6-ounce glasses) 4H cups prepared fm it 6 cups sngar 1 box powdered fruit pectinTo prepare fruit: crush thoroughly about two quarts fuUy ripe, red raspberries. If desired, sieve half of pulp to remove some of the seeds. Measure 4^4 cups into a large saucepan.To make jam : measure sugar and set aside. Place saucepan holding th e fruit over high heat. Add powdered fruit pectin a n d stir until mixture reaches a hard boil. Bring to a fun, rolling boil and boil hard one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim, ladle quick into glasses. Paraffin at once. Cherry Preserves 5 pounds cherries 5 pounds sugar Wash, pick and stone cherries. Place in a preserving kettle, alternating layers of fruit and sugar. Let stand over night. .Bring slow ly ' to a boil and then boil rapidly until thick a n d clear. Pour into sterilized glasses and seal at once with paraffin. Gooseberry Conserve 3 pounds gooseberries 3 pounds sugar 1 pound seeded taisins 3 large oranges Grate the rind of the oranges an« extract the juice. Mix together the orange rind and juice, gooseberries, raisins and sugar. Cook slowly im tll thick.- Pour into sterile jars and seal at once. Pineapple-Pear Preserves 1 pound pears 1 No. 2 can sliced pineappto m cups sugar % cup boiling water Dissolve sugar in water and let come to a boil. Cut pears in halves lengthwise, removing skin and cores. Cut pineapple into pieces and add both fruits to hot syrup. Cook until tender and clear. Seal in sterilized jars. E re r; Time To prevent excessive “weeping” on jellies and jam s, leave a half inch of space at the top when filling the glass. Paraffin, cover tight ly and store in a cool, dry place Fruits and berries used for jam s, jellies, preserves and conserves should not be allowed to stand in water as they tiecome water-logged and w ill have to be cooked longer, to get rid of water. This results in flavor and color loss. Use a lipped saucepan for pouring paraffin to make this job easier! A goof was watching a house painter at work. “Gee,” he said, "you mixed the paints.

An inexpensive wave curl er of non-metallic m aterials is used-in the process; the inventor suggests the pinna, or leaflets of the pinnated date-palm leaf. The patent reveals a method of treat ing and preserving the pinna and describes each step to be used in producing the proper waves and curls. IWMMW mwm! STOPty-BOOK fashion for your darling!

BENSON prtsidtKt-MariiKS CtlUft Seireg. /rtM sas W o rk e r ’s D ile m m a 1 Whether to ask for another raise in 1949 is a question now vexing our iunions. Shall they go on through this year without asking for another Iraise? Some unions are saying it w ill be bad business for the nation’s ;workers to insist on another round of increases. Others, recalling that raises have been obtain«d three years In a row, insist that labor keep it up and demand another raise.How’s the way to answer this $64 question, so ^ a t the American workman may have the $64—and much more? Because it makes sense that any sound gain made by .^ e ric a n workers w ill be a gain to r the entire nation, I favor whatever w ill have the greatest long range benefit for American workers.Consider the Facts People who have their facts straight know that any substantial rise in wages must be followed by a jum p in prices. This is elementary fact-and-figure economics. If we could have another wage boost with the rise in prices it would bring —and the nation would keep on buying—that would be one thing. But there are strong indications that won’t work again.Pipelines of supply to consumers are beginning to fill up. The public is refusing to buy as it has for five years. Consumers are getting more price conscious. Many manu facturers are even now finding it hard to market what they produce. Some are already compelled either to decrease hours of operation or lay off workers.Danger Signal If a wage boost now would result in more unemployment and lower wages in the long run, would labor unions demand the increase? No, they would not. Yet that is exactly what would happen, if we should crowd the entire economy toward a depression. There are certain serious danger signals.Here is a sample. On January 29 a Cleveland utility company awarded a contract for two generators to a Swiss firm. They cost $1,140,000 which was nearly $500,000 less than bids of three American firms. The Cleveland company had to accept the foreign bid, despite protests by American companies and by American workers.The Safe Way Now that Europe is beginning to get into the market, it will be seen that America has no monopoly on manufactured goods in the world markets. Competition there is just beginning, and it win get tou?h aplenty. Wage increases that push up prices, be.sides making more trouble ju.st now in the home market, would make it hard for America to compete in foreign markets. Foreign production w ill also con tinue to invade our home markets.Since living costs are already defi nitely going down, and since a wage increase would be very bad for the industries we work for, and vrould endanger our jobs. I ’d say let it go by. If we can keep present wage levels, and let prices come down, that w ill mean a real raise for everybody. That way, not only union members, but everybody w ill have their standard of living raised a full notch.

There are approximately 20 million American families with incomes no higher than that.On the basis of $2,200 a year in come, more than half the families in the U.

Sense of Values r E TOWN’S wealthiest man, and its most stingy, had just been rescued from the water of a lake -where he had been fishing from a boat. His rescuer was the leading doctor of the town. After the long, Jiard work of resuscitation by the doctor and the first aid treatments, the miser pulled out a dollar and handed it to the doctor, saying; “Well, doctor, I ’m much obliged to you for savin’ my life just now. Here’s a dollar . . . ail I have got on me.”The doctor handed it back, say ing: "Oh, keep your money!” “Not at ail! Not at a ll!” said the miser. “It would have been lost anyway if ye hadn’t saved m e!” NO CONTEST Junior: “Daddy, W illie Brown said that I look just like you.” Daddy: “And what did you say?” Junior: “Nothing. He’s bigger than me.” Paternal RegimeAt the parting of the ways one :cyclist turned into a side street and twisted round to wave a gay goodbye to his companions. But he didn't know that during the day a temporary reservoir for fire-fighting had been erected there. His front wheel struck it, and over he went head first into the water. As his head emerged above the surface he was not downhearted. “What a Government!” he remarked with a grin. “Free gasmasks, free shelters, and now free baths!” Matter of Dress Loaded down with bundles, the little man anxiously looked about him in the crowded department store. A floorwalker approached him and asked, “Are you looking for something in men’s wearing apparel sir?” "No, something in women’s ap parel,” came the answer. " I can’t find my wife.” RELAXED “I ’m sorry to hear that your husband is still in bed,” Mrs. Jraes said to Mrs. Smith.“Oh, there’s no need to worry,” M rs. Sm ith replied cheerfully; “he’s quite all right!”“Then why doesn’t he get up?” asked Mrs. Jones. “ WeU, It’s like this,” Mrs. Smith explataied. “When the doc tor called about two months ago he told my husband not to get up until he ^sited him again, and we rather think he’s joined the Army.” Uncle Sam Says Lots of you people today are tip> toeing around the edges of the pro* verbial soup bowl.

Tnatmy Doctor Devolops Teehnlquo 1 O fV a lu e to H o a riP a tio n t A San Francisco doctor has d«> veloped a technique ^ c h it is believed w ill make possible for ths first tim e photographs of the cor onary arteries of the living human heart, in order to determine their condition in the early stages o t coronary disease. Dr. Meyer Friedm an reported his method at the tiiird annual meeting of the Medical Advisory Council of the American Founda tion for High Blood Pressure at Cleveland, Ohio. He descrfted how he and his associates, worldng at the Harold Bnum institute, of which he is the head, have per fected a delicate operation wliich has been successfully performed on the heart of a living anim al with no apparent distobance of norm al heart function. He exhibited an x- ray photograph which showed clear* ly the condition of the coronary arteries. “The next step,” he said, “is to use the same technique on human subjects. The diagnostic aid which this method could give could be of inestimable value.” Dr. Friedm an also reported a new method, which he and his as sociates have developed, for taking the blood pressure of rats. It utilizes a “collar” and a specially adapted microphone applied to the rat’s tail, which makes possible a true reading. Because it is simple and inexpensive the equipment has pem itted studies of hypertension which otherwise would have been extremely difficult, he explained. PAGE WHISTLER Indians’ Living Standards Advanced by Better Roads Better roads as an im portant means of stepping up current, gov ernment efforts to enhance living standards on Indian reservations are urged by Charles M. Upham, engineer-director of the American Road Builders’ association. Citing the 1948 report of the departm ent of interior ^ an indica tion that a start in this direction already has been made, Upham points out that much remains to be done to provide America’s original inhabitants with adequate roads vital to better living. The rate of progress in this im portant function should be accelerated, he said. Up to 1933, reservation roads were merely trails, he cites the report as showing, ActUal roads were non-existant, streams had to be forded and heavy rains washed out routes which m ight be used by vehicles. The Indian could not get his products to market nor his children to school, due to tliis lack of communication facilities. In the 15-year period to 1948, congress ap propriated $37,000,000 for improvements of. roads and bridges and maintenance. To-day, with 20,548 miles of reservation roads, only 8,-000 miles are graded and drained, and only 200 miles actually paved. “The federal highway aid act of 1948 authorized $6,000,000 for reser vation roads, but has appropriated only sufficient to do a maintenance operation,” says Upham. Common Rose Diseases The commonest rose diseases are blackspot and mildew, both of which are easily recognized. M ildew is heralded by tired-looking foliage and a grayish film on some of the leaves. Blackspot is exactly, what the name implies. Both of these fungus diseases, along with the principal insect pests such as aphids, Japanese beetles, red spid er, thrips and rose bugs can be effectively controlled by a regular weekly spraying program. Spraytog or dusting with appropriate mate rials must cover the leaves on both sides. Use an insecticide to combat insects and a fungicide to control plant diseases. During hot weather, the mterval between sprayings should be extended to ten days or two weeks to avoid the possibility of burning foliage. W ith the advent of cooler fall weather, the weekly schedule can be resumed. Samanella PuUorum One of the most common troubles with baby ciilcks is the poultry industry’s old enemy Samanella Pull- orum, reports O. C. Ufford, poultry specialist for the Colorado A & M extension service. Tiiis is the bug wliich makes life unhappy for thousands of poultry raisers every year. We can’t lick puUorum with medicines—we just have to outwit thia disease, he adds. The organisms develop in the organs of both the adult male and female chicken and eggs laid by an infected hen also carry the organisms. Ufford points out that chicks hatched from in fected eggs readily develop the disease, and heavy death losses usually result. Having been m arried 20 years, a couple decided to celebrate by taking a little trip. While talking over their plans one evening, the hus band now and then glanced into tte next room where a little old lady sat knitting. “The only thing,” he finally said in a hushed voice, “is that for once I ’d like to be by ourselves.

Our County And Social Security By Mrs. Ruth G. Duffy. Manager. Employment, to most of us, means work in a store, m ill, ga< rage, beauty parlor, offic^ or oth er place o f business where the worker receives his or h « pay in cash weekly or monthly, I have in mind another job for which no cash is received, hours are not limited to 8 hours a day but is a 24-hour job in most cases. “Well,” you say, ."who in high heaven would have such a job?” The one may be your mother or your wife whose iob is classified as that of a housewife. Recently a minister diking to a group, said that the housewife holds the job which wields the greatest amount of influence in modem life. Comparing the va riety of work which women are doing away from home with the job of a housewife, this speaker pointed out that “the home is where the man and woman take hold of the social situation of the world. It is a handle, so to speak, of our social structure. In the home we have a better chance than any place to put into opera tion the ideals of the Kingdom of God.” After reading this profound sta tement, I asked myself, “How does our Social Security program help in promodng high ideals and in keeping a family together?” (1) It contributes by paving monthly benefits to the wife, if she is 65, and her husband is receiving mon thly payments, and to their child ren if under 18. (2) It contributes by paying monthly payments to widows left with young chUdren in their care, whatever the age of the widow, and to the young chil dren. These monthly payments will continue until each child is 18 unless the child marries before 18. This protection alone has kept many young widows from having to work outside of the home, put their young children in orphan ages, home of relatives, foster homes, or actually givmgthem up through adoption by another fin ancially able to care for them. (3) It contributes by paying a month ly payment to a widow who is 65 as long as she lives and does not remarry if her husband had wor ked a sufficient length of time. If the widow is not 65 upon her husband’s death and there are no 'young children, she gets one pay- ' ment at that time and is told that ' she will get monthly payments when she is 65 and die amount ' she w ill get. She has somediing definite to count on in her old age and does not approach that time of life with die fear that she will be dependent on others. I will be in Mocksville on W ed nesday, July 27, at the court house, second floor, at 12:30 p; m. Iw illa lso .be in Cooleemee on the same date at the Erwin Cotton Mills office at 11 a. m. THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVIUiE, N. C. Forrestal’s Death l ^ R . WESTBROOK PEGLER has ^ issued an array of charges aimed to make his readers believe that my criticism of the late Jam es Forrestal largely contributed to his death. M r. Pegler has now been answered by me in the only language he imderstands—a Ubel suil. But for more intelligent p«ople who m ay have read the Pegler columns, I should like to set forth the following facts: 1. AFTER I reported on M r. Forrestal’s mental illness, there was little other reference to him by me either in the press or on the radio. I did compliment him on his cooperation with secretary of de fense Johnson and I also suggested that he be given a long vacation at government expense. 2. AT THE TIM E of my radio references to Mr. Forrestal’s ill ness, he was imder sedatives; was not permitted to listen to any radio programs or read the newspapers. 3. THE NAVY immediately is sued a statement which had the effect of denying M r. Forrestal’s illness. If the navy, on the other hand, had taken proper precautions instead of m inim izing the facts, Jim Forrestal would be alive to day. Navy doctors knew, as they now adm it, that he had made earlier suicide attempts in Florida. They also knew that every other medical institution In the country puts patients with suicidal tendencies on the ground floor. Unfortunately, navy doctors m i n Im 1 z e psychiatric treatment, which may have been why they called M r. For- restal’s illness “nervous ex haustion” and put him on tfce 16th floor of the hospital tower. 4. CAPT. George Raines, the navy doctor in charge, has since made the following amazing statement; “I recognized the well- known psychiatric fact that the next 30 days would constitute the most dangerous period of the illness as far as suicide was con cerned .... I felt that the assump tion of responsibility must rest on my shoulders and not be shared with the fam ily or other naval au thorities.” And after admitting that this was the most dangerous period, the m an who assumed responsibility departed for Canada. Forrestal’s Friends 5. IN THE END it may be found that M r. Forrestal’s friends had more to do with his death than his critics. For those close to him now adm it privately that he had been sick for some time, suffered em barrassing lapses too painful to be mentioned here. Illness such as Jim Forrestal ex perienced does not come a ll of a sudden, like a fa ll from a horse. It begins months in advance. And such an illness cannot be pushed aside or overlooked. It must be treated. Yet during most of last winter, when Jim Forrestal was under heavy responsibilities and definitely not a well man, the little coterie of newspapermen who now insinuate Jim was killed by his critics encouraged him to stay on. This got to be almost an obsession, both on their part and his, vmtil Mr. Truman’s final request for his resignation undoubtedly worsened the illness. 6. THE REAL FACT is that Jim Forrestal had a relatively good press. A ll one need do Is examine the newspaper files to see that his press was far - better than that of some of his old associates. Secretary of Labor Perkins, lor instance, was one of the most criticized cabinet members of the last decade. She took it with a smile and is still working for her country. Winston Churchill had bitter criticism heaped upon his head and suffered one of the most crusliing political blows in recent history. However, he still remains an active force in British politics. Herbert Hoover retired from office one of the most criticized and beaten-up political figures of recent years. Yet he has come back as a drfinlte force for good government FBI Probe 7. IT IS TRUE that when Jim Forrestal retired, the justice de partm ent was in the process of investigating the Arabian oil pur chases made by the navy during his administration. I feel sure this did not involve him personally, though he was known to be dread. fuUy upset by it. 8. IF W E ARE to withhold criticism of a man hecanse of possible illness or danger to his life, then congressional Investigations, a free press, and our entire system of goveniment by checks and balances be comes difficnlt.For instance, when the FBI cross-examined the late Lawrence Duggan of the state department during last summer’s un-American activities committee probe, they had no idea he would thereafter plunge to his death from a New York office building. - - - - - - - - - WBCKLY News ANALYSIS----------- Issue is Joiied on Labor Measure; Senate Group Okays Atlantic Pact; Unemployment Increasing in Nation (EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in tiiese coltnnns, tbey are those ol Weslera Newspaper U nion's news aaaljrste and not neeessatHy of ibis aewspaper«> LABOR BILL: Issue Is Joined Ih e long-awaited fight on repeal of the Taft-Hartley labor law had begun. Debate had started in the senate with Chairman Elbert D. Thomas (D ., Utah) of the labor committee opening for the administration. Government forces were committed to an attempt for outright repeal of the measure, but all indications pointed to a compromise or nothing. Meanwhile, John L. Lewis declared that the AFL and CIO had betrayed organized labor’s cause by reportedly agreeing to a com promise.Urging adoption of the adminis tration bill. Thomas said the voters last November "decided the Taft- Hartley law was a mistake.” The administration seeics to replace it with a modified version of the New Deal Wagner act. Thomas called for quick repeal of the Taft- Hartley law.In telegrams to all 96 senators, Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers union, said he had heard AjTL and CIO leaders had agreed to accept four “oppressive amend- .nrients” to the administration bill.An AFL official pooh-poohed Lewis’ charges of a secret deaL As a matter of fact, he said, the AFL convention in Cleveland re cently agreed to accept the four amendments that “horrified” Lewis. These four amendments called for: 1. Power for the federal govern-, ment to seize plants involved in national-emergency strikes.2. The filing of financial returns by unions. 2. The filing of non-Communist and non-Fascist affidavits by workers and employers alike. 4. A guarantee of free speech in labor relations. ARTICLES: What Import? The senate foreign relations com mittee, in reporting favorably the North Atlantic pact, had almost bogged down on Article 5. That is the proviso in the pact which binds signatories to the rule that an attack on one pact member would be an attack upon all, and binds each to take such action as is deemed necessary, "including the use of armed forces” to restore and main- tafti the security of the area.THE W ORDING of Article 5 created in some minds a fear that its effect would nullify the right of congress to declare war and might put this power arbitrarily into the hands of the President.Senator George (D ., G a.) who had expressed concern aboilt the in terpretation of Article 5, finally said that he was satisfied that under it the President could not declare war nor “employ troops to enforce any particular action aimed at certain European coimtries without congressional approval.” Senator Pepper (D ., F la.) took the same tack. He said &e provision neither adds to nor subtracts from the war powers of the President as commander-in-chief. EVEN SO, it was a difficult point. The extent to which a President might go toward involvement in war was dram atically disclosed in the Roosevelt administration when the commander-in-chief admittedly committed the nation to “ everything short of war” in what was purported to be an attempt to avoid war. Under such a policy actions may go ^ ^ a r at the chief executive level that there would be nothing left for the congress to do but declare war in a situation in which it had no authority and no voice, NEW WEAPON: Top Secret What is being produced at the plutonium plant at Hanford, Wash ington?NO one would say, but Carleton Shugg, deputy general manager of the atomic energy commission, said the plant was handling a “product that needs a better name than ‘deadly poison.’ ” Was it the weird “ atomic fog” about which there had been so much speculation? Shugg wouldn’t say. He said, instead, that he was merely discussing certain phases in the production of plutonium—one of two fissionable materials used in makmg atom bombs. The other is uranium-235.SHUGG’S statement was made i during his testimony before a sen- ate appropriations subcommittee during the congressional investiga tion of the atomic program. Barred Steve Trumbull, M iam i Her ald reporter, was barred from the Florida state senate chamber after he questioned the manner in which a bill was brought before the senate. It was reported his cheekboHe was fractured when he was struck by a senator. UNEMPLOYMENT: Sudden Increase Whatever its significance, many economists were expressing concern over a sudden upswing in the number of unemployed in the nation. BETWEEN A pril and May. the number of U.S. jobless had in creased by 273,000 to bring the totally imemployed to a probable postwar high of more than 3.25 m illion. These figures were re leased by the federal bureau of the census. The rise in the unemployment figure at a tim e when it usually drops m ight be attributed, the bureau said, to the sudden rush of students for summer or permanent jobs. The bureau did say that two-thirds of the increase in unemployment could be traced to “young persons of high school and college age.” AT the same time, the bureau re ported, total unemployment was rising, principally as a result of seasonal activity on farms. Despite the conflicting reports, there were some among the country’s industrial and economic lead ers who feared the imemployment situation might grow worse before getting any better. SOVIETS: Appraise Guests In Moscow the Literary Gazette sought to evaluate for its readers the Russian appraisal of foreign diplomats and newspapermen who live in the Soviet Union. THE Gazette printed a poem vreitten by Sergei Mikhalkov, chil dren’s poet, playwright and coauthor of the Soviet national anthem.Translated freely, Sergei’s poem went this way: “We met them, you and I. “These friends who aren’t friends. “The jackal, wolf and swine, “And journalistic snake."In other words, those who are being sent here. “Wo know them all and can recognize them. “Even if we aren’t doctors.” NATURALLY, there w ill be no comment from the pilloried—not while they’re still in Russia. HEART STUDY: Artificials Used Emphasis in heart study now rests in the development of artificial hearts. Dr. Alfred Blalock of Baltimore, widely-known blue-baby specialist, was the authority for the statement.SPEAKING at a general scien tific session of the American Medical association, Blalock said: “The most interesting thing in surgery, but stiE in the experimental stage, is the development of mechanical devices as substitutes for the heart.” He reported that he considered as most promising a pump developed by Dr. John Gibbon at the Jefferson school of Philadelphia. “Dr. Gibbon’s pump w ill pump blood as the heart does,” Dr. Blalock explained. “He is working on an artificial lung to aerate the blood.”BLALOCK said D r. Gibbon’s pump replaced the heart of a dog for 48 minutes and the dog re covered.“If one can substitute for the heart for 30 to 45 minutes, one can open it and see what one is working at,” he said. “W ith a heart substi tute we can do more things inside the heart.” AMA GAGS FISHBBIN Famed Doctor-Editor's Authority Clipped The red-hot issue between the American Medical association and the admmistration over the President’s proposed compulsory health plan was coming to a boil. The AMA, obviously wishing to retain its own identity in matters of policy statements, clapped a gag on Dr. Morris Fishbein, one of medicine’s most famous figures. The board ordered him to stop writmg or speaking on anything except medi- cin.e. That meant he could not talk publicly on state medicine nor on the political issues boiling up in the APIA’S campaign against the Truman national health insurance plan. Dr. Fishbein is editor of the Journal of the American Medical association. He held no official position beyond that. ARMY BOSS: Was Buck Private The Cinderella story would take on new interest for the G I’s in Uncle Sam’s army.And there was a particular rea son. Gordon Gray, a one-time buck private in the arm y, was nominated by President Truman to be secre tary of the army.GRAY, now undersecretary, is 40 years old, a North Carolina pub lisher and lawyer. He has been acting secretary since the resigna tion of Kenneth C. Royall on April 27. Gray, born in Baltimore, is not an arm y career m an. But he served three years in the army, enlisting as a buck private in 1942. But he had something on the ball then, and rose to captain with the 12th arm y group in Europe.THE new secretary would be the government’s youngest head of an executive department. For the past 16 months Gray has been the army official responsible for the industrial mobilization and procurement official of his department. JOHN L LEWIS: A Severe Blow A federal district court of appeals dealt a heavy blow at John L. Lewis and his United Mine Work ers. Lewis and his union, found guilty of contempt of court for fail ing to call off the 1948 coal strike, had been fined $1,420,000.They appealed. The higher court upheld the finding and indications were that Lewis and his attorneys would lose no tim e appealing to the United States supreme court for a final decision. THE CASE grew out of Lewis’ defiance of the Taft-Hartley law last year for ignoring a court order issued under the law that directed the miners to call off a month-old strike in the soft coal fields.The district appeals court ruling made it clear that the decision was based on the fact that Lewis and the miners waited until the demands were met before finally call ing off the strike when they had been previously directed by the court to do so. Justice E . Barrett Prettyman said on behalf of the court: “THE SUPREM E COURT (has) held . . . involving these same ap pellants, that he who fails to obey a court order . . . is punishable for crim inal contempt. That decision governs us here.” The supreme court already had upheld the conviction of Lewis and his miners for defying a sim ilar court order in the 1946 coal strike. It was that ruling to which Judge Prettyinan referred. NAZI "WITCH": Not Through Yet Ilse Koch, called the “witch” of Buchenwald, infamous German prison camp of World War n , defi nitely was to face a German court on charges of mistreating Germans at the concentration camp. ONCE sentenced to life imprisonment by American occupation force verdict on charges of unspeakable cruelties to prisoners, nse had her term commuted to only four years by U.S. Gen. Lucius D, Clay on grounds of insufficient evidence.Among other charges she faced was one of having made lam pshades out of human skin. The announcement that Ilse would have to stand trial again was made in Munich by an official of the Bavarian m inistry of justice. THE U.S. authorities have turned over to German officials the records of the case in order that they might determine whether she could be tried by the Germans for mis treating their own citizens at Buchenwald, where she was th« wife of the Nazi commandant. Top Man Top man in the gradnating class at West Point, U.S. m ili tary academy, Richard T. Car- Tolth, Peckville, P a., had his choice of any arm of the m ili tary services. He chose the air force and here adjusts his second lieutenant’s bars on bis brand new uniform. JET FIGHTER: Tests Complete The United States air force was proud of its newest jet fighter— the Lockheed F-90, which had suc- cessftUly completed its flight tests at the Muroc flight test base in California. There was an air of secrecy about the plane’s performance. Some facts which did emerge were: The plane weig’ns 26,000 pounds, climbed 15,000 feet in 10 minutes, but that wasn’t its m aximum , the pilot said. New Selling System Aids Hog Producers Price Jlgreed Dpon Right in The Pen Under a new system of selling hogs, buyers and salesmen at the markets agree on the price right in the pen before the hogs are weighed. Thus the old weight- schedule is being replaced by a pen-to-pen system of marketing. The buyer is given a chance to rec ognize quality and pay a premiunj for good hogs. The quaUty of this Chester IVhlte sow and Utter is appai^ ent even to the casual observer; but under the old weight- schedule of selling hogs, breeders who produce such q u a ll^ stock would receive nothing extra for the added tim e and care they had expended to bring their hogs to such a de gree of excellence. The reason advanced for Increased interest in marketing is that the weight-schedule system fails to recognize the difference between hogs. It also fails to pay for true quality. Under the old schedule-selling, salesmen and buyers at a market would agree in the morning how many hogs each buyer would get. A schedvde of process was set up according to weight. “Hogs was hogs” and the scales determined the price. But that system is gradually being abandoned. Under the old method, farmers judged probable market prices by estimating the weight of their hogs. A premium of 50 cents per hundredweight was considered imusual at the market although the real value of hogs of the same weight varies as much as $5 or $6 per anim al. Such prem iums offered poor pay to the expert producer who raises top- qualify hogs worth more money. Another reason for the new system is the fear that if a better Job of selling isn’t done, hogs m ay be sold on a dressed-carcass basis. This method of marketing (which is used in Canada) is being ex plored by many farmers, coopera tives, agricultural experim ^t stations and studies under the 'federal research and marketing act. Maiqr public market operators also are worried about the decline in volume of hogs arriving for sale at term inal markets. $1,530,942.52 was the figure that M r. DeKwickrich estimated as his fortune.

Basmussen, of Cache coun ty Utah, did not know they would be national wheat champions when this photo was taken on their 4,000 acre farm , between Cache Junction and darkston, Utah. The wheat, which Victor Rasmussen is holding, is a sample of the crop from the 2,000 acres of wheat land, which is ovimed jointly by these two men and their brother Reuben, who was too busy farm ing that day to get in the picture. The Rasmussens’ wheat, which was hard red winter of the Cache variety with a test weight of 64 pounds per bushel, took first place in the 8th annual Philip W. Pills- bury judging for best United States wheat raised in 1948. The grain competed with 37 samples from 20 other states when the judging was held in Minneapolis.The Rasmussens rotate their wheat crop on 4,000 acres of unirrigated land. They are the sons of P hilip H. Rasmussen, who won the state and national Pillsbury award in 1946.

Answer: Certainly. Wo one can help being jealous of a person who appears to come between him and someone else he loves, and a boy who gives a ll his devotion to his father may be very jealous of his mother’s “ claims” upon him . But many boys begin by being jealous of their fathers’ relationship with their mothers (the “Oedipus com plex” ) and the average sm all boy would be likely to develop an intense attachment to his father either to conceal repressed hos tility toward him or because he felt "rejected” by his mother. Is “ advice by m ail” effective? Answer: Doubtless it is, but since most people find it so much easier to evade their actual problems or give only one side of a story when writing a letter than when talking to a trained observer that I, for one, don’t try to give advice that way. In the Journal of Applied Psychology, D r. C. Har old Stone and M r. Irving Simos report that a “follow-up” of cases in which they had given advice on job seeking and self-confidence showed personal interviews to have been more effective. Are continuons U gh winds fatiguing? Answer: I suppose this is an in> dividual m atter, depending on the “association” high winds happen to have for each person, but I think that living where strong gales blow most of the tim e wotild be “wearing” to most men and women. Moving about outdoors in a strong wind takes more muscular exertion, and the noise might be hard to shut out of your mind when you’re indoors. However, a norm al human being can adjustor as we say, “get used”—to many things wliich at first seem intolerable, and wind may be no es> ception.

Barton rc IS A NATURAL feeling of sym pathy that we have for the blind, for the victim s of infantile paralysis and for those who are crippled— particularly crippled children. What many of us fail to realize, however, is that there is a dread foe of humanity that takes away the young and old, yet we do nothing about it, thinking of it perhaps as just an act of Nature. I have in mind that deadly human enemy, heart disease. In a pamphlet, “The Challenge of Heart Disease,” th e American Heart association presents some startling facts that should make us all do our part in preventing the death of loved and valuable citizens. “Heart disease has been increasing rapidly. Today it is the leading cause of death. One of every three deaths is due to diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Heart di sease takes a greater toll than the next five leading causes of death combined.” The death rate from diseases of the heart and blood vessels is three times as high as tuberculosis. The unfortunate fact about heart disease is that it takes the greatest number of lives between ages of 40 and 60, the age of most productiveness and the age of greatest opportunity for helpfulness to fellow men. “The economic cost of heart disease is staggering in terms of loss of life, absenteeism, disability, loss of gainful employment, and care and treatment programs.” W hat can you and I do to help fight this terrible enemy of mankind? We can join our local branch of the American Heart association and help research physicians who are doing advanced work and in vestigation of the causes and treat ment of heart disease. We can help employ or place men and women with heart disease so that they can do gainful work and retain their morale. 11 THE By DR KEHHETH 1 FOREMAN SCRIPTURE: Psalms 1; 33:12-15; 67? 100. DEVOTIONAL READING: Psalms I45r 1-10. Songs for All Hearts Lesson for July 3, 1949 HEALTH NOTES It’s a standing joke among medical students that some men become skin specialists because skin patients never die, never get well, the disease comes on from tim e to time and they never call the physi cians during the night. As a m atter of fac>., very few physicians become skin specialists as they prefer general medicine and sur gery. When angina pectoris (breast pang) occurs, the patient should remember just what he is doing at the time, as this helps the physician determine whether or not true or organic heart disease is present. The fact that emotional upsets can bring on such pain helps to reas sure the patient. Dr. Foreman Th e greatest hymn-book in the world is to be our study for three months. Not the oldest; that honor belongs to the Vedic Hymns of ancient India.Not th e largest; the hyitmal of your own church may easily be twice as large. But the greatest hymn- book in the world is the book of Psalms, This col lection of religious poems was used as the hymn-book of the temple which was built when the Jewish exiles returned to Babylon. It was the hymn-book of Herod’s temple, and we know our Lord used and loved it. It is indeed the song-book of the Bible. It was the only hymnal which the first Christians used, for some time. Indeed the book of Psalms is probably the only hymn-book hon ored and used by three separate religions—Judaism , Mohammedani ism and Christianity.• • • How It Grew Lik e all hymnals, this book of Psalms grew by degrees. I* was not written all at one tim e or by one person. David wrote some of the Psalms, how many we do not know. The “titles” of the Psalms were added by later He brew editors, are no part of the original Psalms, and are often in. accurate. It is very likely that as much as a thousand years went by between the first of the Psalms to be written, and the last. Every modern hymnal that Is any good is in part a collection of the best of the old hymnals. So our book of Psalms, as it finally took shape, came from old er collections. A glance through i1 in the American standard version w ill show that in its present form it is made up of five smaller books, ending with Psalms 41, 72, 89, 108 and 150. Each book ends with a dox- ology and book V ends with a mag nificent series of them. Sometimes the editors left in duplicates. Beading Psalm 14 side by side with Psalm 63 wiU show that these two are exactly the same, only using different names for God. At leasi one- of the Psalms is made up oi “clippings” from earlier Psalms: thus Psalm 108 is made up from Psalm 57:7-11 and Psahn 60:5-12. The Psalms were cherished and preserved generation after genera tion because of their heart-appeal. Our Psalm book has gone through ■centuries of sitting; many were dropped out and forgotten, but the best were saved and sung; and what we have is the cream of thf best of the singers of Israel.* • • M irror of Man JOHN CALVIN called the Psalms the “m irror of the soul.” A ll the varied moods of man—hope, despair, triumph, envy, doubt, aspira tion, loneliness, hatred, fear, irritation, patriotism, joy, bitterness, weariness, amazement, anguish, rapture—almost every emotion that can be felt toward God or man breathes somewhere or other in these Psalms. Since not one of the authors of the Psalms was a Christian, of course, we should not be surprised to find, here and there, expressions (for example) of hatred which are out of harmony with the spirit and teaching of Jesus. The wonder is that there is so little of that kind'of thing. For every Psahn in which the poet says something cruel or hateful (e. g. Psalm 137:9 or 109:6:14), there are scores that breathe a spirit of gentleness and grace. For every note of despair (Psalm 88 is the only completely gloomy one in the whole collection), there are many hallelujahs of hope and glad. Message of God |F the Psalms are so human, how * can they be also God’s Word? Yet tliey are also, truly, a message of God. For they not only cast a divine light on the state of m an’s heart, but they show what the life of man is when God becomes real. For God was real to each poet who contributed to this great book. In latter weeks this summer we shall be looking at the Psalms from various special angles. This week it will be helpful to sit quietly with the three typical Psalms, 1, 67 and 100, and as you ponder over each one in turn, ask yourself: What does this show me about God? What does this show about life when it turns to God? (Copyright to the International Council Religious Education on behalf oe 40 ^ te s U n t denominations.

Marriage, Divorce Rates Show Noticeable Decline Throughout the civilized world in 1948, there was a noticeable decline in m arriage and divorce rates. With improved economic con ditions, there were indications in 1948 that fam ily life was slowly returning to normalcy. Many countries, notably Eng land, Finland, Japan, Poland, and Sweden, instituted or broadened provisions designed to make faibi- ly life more secure.In the United States, about 1,800,000 marriages were p e r- formed, a decrease of 10 per cent from the provisional total of l,992-,354 in 1947, and a drop of more than 20 per cent from the final figure of 2,291,045 in 1946.The rate of divorce was ap proaching the pre-war trend, with the number of divorces believed not to exceed 420,000—a decrease of 10 per cent from 1947, and a 30 per cent decrease from 1946. Certain notable efforts to im prove fam ily life were made in the United States in 1M8, accord ing to the article. Tlie National Conference on Fam ily Life, authorized by President Truman, convened at the White House in May to explore the factual background of U. S. fam ilies, dynamics of fam ily interaction, economic welfare, and related topics.Institutes on fam ily relations were held at the universities of California, Chicago, Indiana, and Southern' California, a n d the American Institute of Fam ily Relations sponsored worl^hops at several colleges.

PHJLLIPS ON ROAD MENACES A speaker at a convention of psy chiatrists declares that accident- prone auto drivers are people who, at the wheel of a car, behave just as they have behaved from child hood. It is the folks who have been inconsiderate, intolerant of authority and generally anti-social from infancy up who drive carelessly, he says. “If a man’s personal life is marked by caution and considera tion, his driving w ill be marked by it. If his life is marked by contrary characteristics his driving w ill be so m arked," the speaker insisted. __*__ Elm er Twitchell, the eminent student of human behavior, disagrees. And hotly. “The delicatessen dealers have a name for it,” he said today. “Any theory that auto- ists behave the way they do because they threw their rattle at the -r PROMISES ■<HE year will keep its promises to me: Unfailingly the days will come and go -, - - Rivers will take theirsure course to the sea; Seedtime and harve§t, these will come, I know.

The plain inescapable fact is tiiat the minute a human being finds himself at the wheel of an auto he becomes a different personality.• “A feUow who takes off his hat in elevators, helps oW ladies across streets and writes books on politeness w ill chase hts fellow m an up an alley, ycU at school children and cuss out pedestrians for getting in bis way, once he is in a flivver.

M r. Finchbutt habitually drives a 15-ton trailer recklessly, ignoring a ll speed signs, takes turns at 60 per hour and has never been known to heed a stop’ light. Report: As a baby Jeptha was allowed to pound on highchair with bottle; mother had nine children and was too busy to restrain his early instinct to spear live goldJ fish with fork; early schooling was under teachers who failed to send all other pupils home and just con/ centrate on Jeptha.. « ■ CASE 2.-Geoffrey Tuffit, 46, oi] truck operator and chronic weavei through dense traffic.

CASE 3.—Twiggsby Cropper, 19, college freshman. Twiggsby feels unnecessarily curbed if asked to d< less than 55 per hour in city cen? ters and 70 in suburbs, loves to drive “no-hands” across city play grounds. Report: From age of si3 months to year and a half he waa allowed to scream at nurse; from age of 3 to 5 instinct to pour hot porridge on the cat tmcurbed.

The Fiction TERRY, THE FOX By Richard H. Wilkinson Corner tty O V CAN’T FOOL an old fMt * like Terry Oakes,” Anse AeteB was saying. “Not even il you’re the smartest bank robber and gangster in the country.” He chuckled, reflecting on the story he was about to tell. “GlenviUe was pretty well wrought up that summer, to June government agents came through, warning a ll the sm all town b a ^ in the countryside to be on the look out, and advising what to do. Duke Insabato and a couple of his hench men, driven from their3-Minute lavmts in th e Fiefion cities bya concentrated effort of local and federal agents who were dead set on bringing an end to the cur rent wave of crime, were hiding out in the sticks and whiling the tim e away by staging spectacular daylight hold-ups of sm all town banks. “ The trouble was that no one knew where the varmints would strike next. Duke Insabato was sm art. He understood sm all towns because be was brought up in one and, he chose as the object of his pilfering banks that were pretty well isolated and unprotected. “June passed and part of July. Gradually the fear of GlenvUle citi zens began to subside. Only one other sm all town bank had been held up, and that more than ISO miles away. The depositors who had withdrawn their accoimts re- establtehed them. “Terry Oakes, the trust company president, didn’t gloat. He was an old-timer at the game and he im- derstood hum an nature. Early in June he’d had some signs printed and himg around the lobby of the bank. Such things as ‘Save for Your Old Age,’ ‘Deposit with Us and Your Money WiU Be Safe.’ The citizens smiled a little. Terry was trying to reassure them. One other sign was printed and inserted behind the glass in the front door. This too, amused them, but it didn’t annoy them any.“On July 15 the quietude of Glen- ville’s m ain street was abruptly and harshly interrupted. • A high-powered black sedan suddenly ap peared at the town’s south en trance, roared down on the bank and came to an abrupt halt. Loimg- ers in front of the General Store jerked erect. Three men had leaped from the car. Two of them, one carrying a machine gun, ran toward the bank. The third stayed on the curb, a second machine gun nestling in his arm. “The loungers, pop-eyed and frightened, watched in stupid .fascination. To their utter as tonishment they saw flie two bandits turn at the bank do«r without entering, rush back to the car, pile into it and drive away. "T T ALL happened within sec- onds. For a moment or two the loungers sat transfixed. Then of one accord they leaped up, raced across the street and entered the bank. Terry Oakes was talking on the telephone. He hung up and smiled at them. “ ‘Two to one,’ he said calmly, ‘Sheriff Irons picks up Duke and his gang at Jepson Corners. I just phoned him .’ He looked from one pop-eyed citizen to another. ‘No harm done, boys. They didn’t even get in .’ didn’t they? W hat‘“ But why happened?’“Terry grinned broadly. ‘Diike Insabato toows sm all towns. He was a smaU-town boy himself. That’s why he picked this hour to do his hold-upping. Right after lunch. “ ‘That’s where I fooled him .’ Terry paused to chuckle and glance toward the' front door. ‘It’s lucky Duke knows sm all towns. Other wise he m ight not have taken any stock in m y sign.’ “The bewildered citizens turned toward it and read. ‘They were a little dazed, and not quick to understand. “The sign read: ‘Bank Closed. Out to Lunch. Return in One Hour.’ ” ACROSS 4. Chief god 22. ImmenSdI. Crust on a (Babyl.)23. EdiblesoreS.Eaging mollusk5. Butts 6. Drooping 24. Places9. Buddhist 7. Cry ofmonument ofa lodging10.

U.S. Agriculture Makes Fabulous Record in 1948 For United States agriculture,1948 w ill go down in history as a fabulous year, according to the 1949 Britannica Book of the Year. “It was a year without a crop scare, with numerotis record and near record yields achieved; the com crop was more than 10 per cent above the previous record and fully 50 per cent above theprevious year; the wheat crop was the second largest on record and the fifth consecutive crop of more than a billion bushels, one of the five largest wheat crops the cotm> try had ever produced; the cotton crop was one-fourth larger than in the previous year.”Prices, too, reached a record level in January, 1948, though they then broke sharply and continued to dec&ne as 1948 crops were har vested, the new Britannica yearbook records. “In spite of the break in prices, the voljime of agricultural mark etings was such as to provide a gross income to farmers of almost 35 billion dollars slightly exceeding the 1947 record,” the publica tion continues. “However, because of higher costs of production the realized net income had been de> ffiining since 1947.*' M im is & m ii tors! enuoy'sMl ~W £ NM10NAL JOY SM OXS-a.J.BeliioI«Tl>1>u«>Con>paiv.WliiM<iii.8dvD.N.C. TUI THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVtLLE N.C.. JUNE29,1949 W O K IN G A S £A D GEORGE S. BENSON PrtsU tm -M um CtUttt Sare/.Arktfsm A T ask for Trum an President Truman has before him one o{ the greatest opportunities that any president has had during the first half of our century. Oddly enough, this chance of the century comes to the President through the foresight and statesmanship of the 80th Congress that last year absorbed so much punishment, politically, from M r. Truman. It was the 80th Con gress that set up the Hoover Commission on government reorganiza tion.Nobody’s Fault Our only living ex-president gladly accepted the job of guiding the ‘‘task force” of experts through some 19 months of detailed investigation. Mr. Hoover has played well the role of public servant in past crises. This tim e he accepted the taslc as chairm an of the Commission, believing It to be his last opportunity for im portant public service. At this writing. 18 “task force” reports have been sent to Congress. Only the final summary report remains to be made. The work of the Commission is so important that it must be placed above all politics. Like Mr. Hoover says, it’s nobody’s fault that our gov ernment has got itself all tied up in knots, with inefficiency the general nde. Government “just growed” that way, Topsy-lifce. It is definitely not a political, not a party, question.Support Needed Every one of us wiU be to blame, though, if we fail to get squarely behind both President Truman and the Congress and stay there pushing until this job of reorganization is done.The tendency, naturally, is to let it go. Yet, right now, when the nation is faced with such tremendous expenditures of public money at home and abroad, it is downright foolish not to practice economy. Estimates show that recommenda tions of the Hoover Commission would mean a yearly saving to taxpayers of more than 3 billion dollars.I feel coniident the savings could be larger than that. If real efficiency and economy is to become the rule of the federal government, the peo-; pie will have to support it. Way to Survival Time is running short. Our sprawl- i ing bureaucracy w ill not of itseM change Its habits. Instead, if left alone to grow, expand, and mush room as it w ill, our financial burdens w ill never cease. The latest report of the Hoover Commission deals with government agencies that are engaged in business enterprise. It catalogs more than 100 concerns of substantial size that are owned or controlled by the government. Large sums coidd be saved, according to the Commission, by cutting this num ber by almost one-third. It is evident that unless we do put our government house in order, there is no way for this republic to survive. As burdens of supporting huge and wasteful government grow in magnitude, we endanger the whole financial structure of the nation. Moreover, with continued growth of big government, we can arrive at state socialism some day without ever having voted for it. It’s hard to believe, but already one of every six adult Americans receives regular checks from Uncle Sam! Bftve yon heard Dr. Benson and (be rsdlQ drama "Land of the Free”?

S. forest service. Community forests, in Forest service terminology, include county forests, although Wisconsin practice usually is to place the two in separate categories.
