R4 Going back on God, after one has accepted Christ as his Savior, and drifting away into in again, is a very dangerous and risky thing. Too many In this condition are killed suddenly, or die from heart failure, or cancer, or some other disease, or from on operation, and never get back to God. There is never an hour, nor even a minute, when one is safe in a backslidden condition. When once we start with Christ heavenward it should be our business, our sincere desire, our aim, plan and purpose, to eo all the wav with Him without turning back. Some say that if one is once saved from his sins he can never be lost, regardless of what he does or doesn’t do. They say he jcan cnrse, swear, commit adultrv. He, steal, cheat, defraud, get drunk and even commit mur. der, or do anything else, but he will be saved. Bow sinful, bow unreasonable how red'culons! Some who do these things may deeply repent out of a broken heart and a contrite spirit and get back to God, which Is pos.slbIe, but too many never do. Many ungodly pro. fessors of religion, who claim Christ as their Savior,some of whom have at some time in life been saved, no doubt, are suddenly called Into e. ternity in their sins. Not only Is backsliding very dan­ gerous to those who practice it, but it endangers lives and souls of others. No doubt manv a person who has once been forgiven of his (ins has gone back into sin and killed somebody, or wrecked the homes and lives of others, and has kept souls out of heaven. One of the great hinderances today is rea­ ching the outside world with the Gosnel of the Lord Jesus Christ, and winning precious souls, is the way multitudes of church members live. Many of them, though llv> ing in wilful sin. claim to be fol­ lowing the Lord, or say they were once saved and that they will be all right, thus deceiving their own hearts, and in the meantime hind- ering others from getting to God. How their Inflnence counts* Many say if that is Christianity, which it is not, they don’t want tt In nut­ ting on revivals we always find backsliders and worldly, nr ungodly church members, that hinder so much. There they are standing in the wav of those who might seek God, and would, if they were trne to God Of course in spite of this there are people who feel the need of salvation so much until they turn to Christ. Thauk God. They Can Have It Well! Here we have an orga- nized movement to deprive a color ed singer of blj civil light to give a concert! And did that happen in the deep Souih — the bigoted, piejndiced South? No! It happened up north! Up north where all is harmony and sweetness among the races, where there are no Jim Crow laws, where colored men sit in Fifth Avenue busses while white women hang in the aisles on .straps—right In New York where they have an FEPC law that says no person shall be de prived of his right to earn a living on account of race, creed or color. If that had happened in the South, a section of the northiern press would have broken its big. gest headline type and denounced it as a mob action They would have called it a race riot, a lynch ing and what uot. > But in New York it’s different. Up there it is a patriotic parade to put a Communist in his place. Well, isn’t Sommunism a creed?Anyway, we are happy P. ul Robeson chose to throw his tan- trums np north,—Statesville Daily. LIN E Cutting Him Down to «lze A prim spinster in a western city took her visiting niece, an attractive brunette, to an art exliibition held by a group of amateur painters. There they encountered an exhibi­tor, a loud young man, far more impressed with himself than any­one was with his painting, who wore a smocii, a Parisian moustache, and a rather startling red beret.Soon he approached the spinster and her niece and said: “You must let me show you ladies around. Of course, you know who I am !” Disdainfully the spinster stared down Inn nose at his flam ing head­ gear, and said: ‘‘A donkey with an unusually loud b’ret?” •P. S.—He Got the Job” An Irishm an anxious to get on the police force hounded the poli­ticians until they decided to give him a letter to the commissioner, but the signature carried with it that popular little curve which meant to “sidetrack Pat in the usual diplomatic manner.” The commissioner, after reading the letter, told Pat that if he could answer the three following ques­tions he would appoint him : ‘‘First. How many stars are there in the heavens? Second. How many hairs are there on my head? Third. What am I thinking?” P at could not give an answer to any of them and was turned down. After wandering about town for seme time an idea struck him. He would represent himself as his brother, and try again. The ques­ tions were the same, “How many stars are there in the heavens?” “661,468,432,” answered Pat. “How do you know?” “I counted them, and if you don't believe me count ’em yourself.” “How many hairs are there on my head?” Pat walked up, and pulling one hair from the commissioner’s head, answered: “One less than there w ^ a minute ago.” “What am I thinking about?” “You tliink you are talking to my brother, but I’m the same man back again.” He was appointed. Bright Boy The children had all been photo­graphed and the teacher was try­ing to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. “Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, ‘There’s Rose; she’s m arried,’ or ‘That’s Billy; he’s a sailor.’ ” A smaU voice at the back of the room piped up, “And there’s teach­er, she’s dead.” Foxy uranopaw Gramps was getting married again. Asked why he was marrying a nifty chorus girl instead of a woman nearer his own age, Gramps said: “Well, son. I ’d a heap rather smell perfume than linim ent.” Origin of “Hubba-Hubba” “Hubba - hubba,” the popular “wolf call” of World War II, started in much the same manner as the word “barbarian.” The ancient Greeks felt that foreigners spoke in nonsense syllables, and foreign languages sounded like a series of “ba-ba” sounds to them. So they called the foreigners “barbarians.” Illustrating that human nature doesn’t change much over the cen­ turies, the American soldiers in the Pacific considered foreign lan­guages just so much “hubbub.” Basing his choice on this word G .I. Joe nicked up two nonsense sylliibles of his own to describe a pretty native girl—“hubba-hubba.” Kind Old Gentleman: How do you like school, my little man. Little Man: I like it closed, sir. Health Note Hospital patient: “They say walking is good for the health.” Another: “Not for ray health. I walked last night when I should have run.” Unfair Competition Benedict. “Not married yet?” Bachelor. “No.”“But I thought you had serious intentions in a certain direction?” “I did have, but the evening I went to propose to her, before I sot a chance she told me she loved Browning and Kipling and Shelly. Now what chance did 1 have with three other men?” He Had lU n Him “Isn’t it remarkable thst B-ovra's luck should stay with him to the very last?”“How was that?” queried the other. “He was operated on for the re­moval of a pear! he had accidental­ ly swallowed while eating oysters, and when the pearl was examined it was found to be valuable enough to pay for both the operation and funeral.” Paid in Full? “Why did you name the baby BiU?” “Because he was born at a sum­ mer resort hotel.” Man in Trouble“Your honor, I was not intoxica­ ted.”“But this officer says you were trying to climb a lamppost.”“I was, your honor. A couple of cerise crocodiles were following me, so who wouldn’t under the cir­ cumstances?” A rtificial Respiration When breathing has ceased in any human being because of electrical shock, asphyxiation, or submersion in water, immediate effort should be made to start breathing again. The time element here is of utmost importance and artificial respira­ tion should be commenced immed- diately without losing time in trans­porting the patient from one place to another, or in waiting for a physician. Many lives have been saved by the prompt efforts of those who knew how to apply the Schaeffer prone-pressure method of resuscitation, and many lives have been lost because no one present had that knowledge. Boy scouts and girl scouts are now generally trained in that method of resuscita­ tion and their services may be called upon when there is no adult nresent who is fam iliar with that method. HOW CLSKT 1 took my sm all son to the gro­cery store the other day and as us­ ual he wanted to buy everything in sight.He said: "M am m a, let’s buy some bird seed.” I could understand his requests for candy bars and jelly and cookies, but this had me stumped. "W hat in the world do yon want with bird seed?” I asked. “W ant to plant it,” was the reply. “But what for?” I persisted.“So we_can grow some bird*.” ‘Real McCoy’ Os-i'“iria?cd in Corner Saloon Erav/I According to research ex'^iert-s. the expression “the real McCoy” is believed to have come to our lan­guage because of a brawl in a .sa­ loon. The story goes that a gentietn.nn by the name of >'cCoy one after­ noon was mirrling his own businu.sn drinking a schooner of beer in a corner saloon. He was aonroached by a drunk who, in a loud tone and tor no rerson at nl' r^sid very un­ kind things about McCoy and his ancestry Friends of the drunk tried to drag him away, exolainin.s that this was the grpat J^cCoy—one of the top prize fichlers of t''e day. The drunk s’lort-d hi.« disbelief and continued iiis abusive tsctic.-; until iWcCoy turned and flattened the hcckler with one punch. When the heckler came to, he shook his head, rubbed his jaw and said. “You’re right; he’s the real- McCoy.” This story was repeated over and oven until the expression “the real McCoy” came to mean "genuine.” PACKAGE ( X P R E S S Build ■ ladder to the boat of your dreams with U.

Our County And Social Security By Mrs. Ruth G. Dufiv; Manager. Last week in my visits to sever­ al towns in my area, I found peo­ ple more anxious to discuss the Social Security program. Matty questions were asked which, I be­ lieve, were prompted by the re­ cent vote of the House of Repre­ sentatives for a bigger Social Se­ curity system. O f course, the ex­ isting Social Security Act has not been changed and the informa­ tion given to my inquirers was based on provisions of present law. Many people wanted to know “what the Social Security Act is ; designed to do for them.” The ' Old-Age and Survivors Insurance provisions of the Act was design­ ed as a stable program to provide a basic security to retired work­ ers 65 and older, and to depend­ ent survivors of deceased workers. I sav “basic” security because jrlie payments were not designed to provide for an individual’s custo­ mary standard of living unless he has resources in addition to these insurance payments. The pay­ ments now being made provide a level below which the income of the individual may not go. Other people with whom I talk­ ed had the idea that the Social Security payments were intended to take the place of an individ­ ual’s savings. That was not the intention of this program when it was begun, and it wasn’t intend* ed that the payments should in any way stifle or interfere with an individual’s initiative or thrift. They were intended to help the family maintain itself as a unit when the usual family income is cut oft because of old age or death. Some asked “what is the amount of this basic benefit?” It varies with each individual because the amount of payments is based on the wage record of the individual over the y;ears in work covered by the program. Under the ex­ isting law, the maximum amount payable to a retired worker and his wife, at this time, is $67.80; the least that is payable to them jointly is $15. The interest shown by persons with whom I talked last week was very encouraging. If you have J worked in employment covered : by the Social Security Act and j you’re 65 or older, ask us how . you stand in regard to your Old- ' Age Insurance. You survivors of 'deceased workers, who worked where an account number was needed, ask us how you stand in regard to Survivors Insurance. I I will be in Mocksville on Wed­ nesday, Nov. 23, at the court house, second floor, at 12:30 p. m. I will also be in Cooleemee on the same date at the Erwin Cotton Mills office at 11 a. m. J t THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE. N. C. Pressure Ends Probe WHEN good old Clyde Hoey, the swallow-tailed senator from North Carolina, announced there would be no more hearings on Gen­ eral Vaughan, John Maragon and the five-percenters, it didn’t sur­prise anybody on the inside.For insiders have known how much pressure has been exerted by the White House to shut the investi­gation up. About six weeks ago it was an­nounced that public hearings would be suspended in order to give the committee staff a chance to do more investigating, also to give committee counsel Rogers a two- week vacation. Since then, however, White House pressure has been ter­ rific, with even staff investigators threatened with loss of government pensions.Since then, also, some sensation­ al leads have been glossed over by committee investigators or care­fully stowed away in pigeonholes.One of the most interesting fig­ ures which Senator Hoey and his staff have turned their backs on Is David A. Bennett, the perfume manufacturer, who sent seven deep freezes to General Vaughan. Mrs. Truman and other bigwigs at about the time Vaughan’s friend, John Maragon, was trying to smuggle Bennett’s perfume into the United States disguised as champagne’for the White House. Yachts & Deep Freezes There are some other interesting things about Bennett which the pub­lic doesn’t know, and most of the record is in government files where any senator investigator could easily dig it out. This column doesn’t have the same power to subpoena records as does Senator Hoey of North Caro­lina, but since the senate commit­ tee has decided to backslide on the job. this writer has done his best to take up where the senator from North Carolina left off.For instance, here are two inter­ esting things which the public has a right to know about. Bennett, at the tim e he was giving away deep freezes, acquired four government airplanes without competitive bid- aiag, and four luxury yachts, three of them from the TJ.S. government. four yachts are a lot for any one man to have. For that matter, so are four airplanes. However, deep- freeze-giver Bennett wasn’t satis­ fied with four yachts and wanted to buy another. To this end, a letter was writen to John Maragon, care of General Vaughan at the White House, bv one of Bennett’s subor­dinates. The letter, dated Novem­ ber 19, 1945, is in the files of Sen­ator Hopy’s committee, but since he doesn’t seem interested in doing anything about it. this column is glad to publish the letter as fol­lows : “Mr. John Maragon, c/o Brig. Gen. Harry Vaughan’s office. White House,Washington, D.C.“Dear John:— "A t the request of Mr. Bennett, am sending you herewith reorint of an advertisement—on ‘yachting’ and ‘motor boating.’ Mr. Bennett would like you to contact Commo­ dore Moran, of the small boate di­ vision. maritime commi.-ssion—Miss Barrett, sec’y.—and find out what condition this is in. and what price the-" are asking for same. "M r. Bennett i.-! feeling fine after his little rest in the country, and is planning on leaving here again to­morrow to spend Thanksgiving there. “Hope you are in the best of health, a n d with kindest re­gards . . Par?i«s on Yachts At the time this letter was writ­ ten to Maragon. Bennett already had the following luxury yachts: “Carnan.” BniT horsenowpr, 121 foot. 221 tone: “Valerie.” 85 font, 124 tons: "Caroline,’’ 45 foot, 24 tons: "Nedra B.” I l l foot. 101 tons. All of these, except the "Valerie V.” were purchased direct from the maritime commission. And when the m aritim e commission was asked to disclose who else bid on the vessels, and how much was bid, the information was refused. When asked whether the bids had been advertised. Miss Mary Bar­rett. referred to in the above letter to Maragon. flew into a rage. One reason why Senator Hoev may wish to deal lislitlT with the m an who had S9 many fleen freezes and yachts at his dis­ posal was because Harry Tru­ m an. when Vice-President, was a enest aboard the Bennett yachts. In fact, the yachts were used for some of the famed Truman-Vaugh- an poker parties, and this long-time intim acy between the Pre.sident of the United States and the president of the Verify perfume company m ay be why Maragon felt that he couW with impunity label his per­ fume as consigned to the White House and try to smuggle it through U.S. customs. At that time—around 1945—one Bennett yacht was moored on the Potomac, another at Saugatuck, M ich., and another in Florida. ------------W EIKLY N ew s ANALYSIS------------ Harvest This Year Seeood Largest In li^ History, Government Says; Reds Purge Czech Property-Owners <CDITOR*8 NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these eolnmns, (hey are those o Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily ot this newspaper. HARVEST: Second Largest America’s horn of plenty con­ tinued to go all out in its produc­tion of food for the world.Latest crop summary of the U.S. department of agriculture showed that good harvest weather would assure the nation of its second larg­ est volume of crops in history, topped only by the record-breaking haul of 1948. EQUALLY im portant was the fact that a record supply of com was on tap for producing meat, dairy and poultry products.The month of September brought conditions sufficiently favorable to boost total production prospects 1 per cent, despite a slight decline in the com estimate. Total crop volume was indicated at 131 per cent of tlie 1923-1932 base level, second only to last year’s 137 per 9ent. However, present indications are that this may be the last year for some tim e that crop production reaches such astronomical heights. As su^luses were mounting almost alarm ingly, the government was preparing to take action to reduce output next year..There was every likelihood that market quotas would be slapped on some of the basic crops which have been overflowing into storage in recent years. THIS YEAR’S huge output is the result of fairly large production of most individual crops, rather than record-breaking yields of just a few. Nearly 128 m illion tons of live- stock-feed grains are being pro­ duced this year, including a com crop of about 3.47 billion bushels. Last year's com crop of 3.65 billion bushels set an all-time record.The 36.5 billion tons of food g r ^ s now estimated, though exceeded in each of the past three seasons, is greater than in any earlier year. Included in this figure is a bumper wheat crop of 1.12 biUion bushels, virtually all of which has been har­ vested. CONGRESS: Half a Loaf The first session of the 81st con­gress headed toward an October adjournment with less than half of President Truman’s program writ­ten into law. THE PRESIDENT could count 15 m ajor accomplishments, by his reckoning, at least, on the part of the congress he helped ride into office last November. Left as unfinished business for the 1950 congressional campaign, however, were a number of highly controversial proposals among the 22 requests that M r. Truman had laid before the present session without getting final action.Chief among these is the Taft- Hartley act repeal, which w as, turned down in both houses during this session. The President un­ doubtedly w ill revive the issue in January, and the outcome this time may depend upon how some special elections this year to fill senate and house vacancies turn out.SOME OP THE other requests which M r. Truman is almost sure to re-introduce early next year will be for a system of compulsopr health insurance, civil rights legis­lation, standby price-wage controls and the passage of “Point 4” legis­ lation to guarantee U.S. support in developing backward areas of the world. PAY BOOST: For Cabinet There was good news for cabinet members, who have been plugging along at the same old salary ever since 1925.A joint senate-house conference managed to arrive at an agreement to boost cabinet members’ sal­aries from $15,000 to *22.500 a year. THE CONGRESSIONAL group also approved pay raises for some 200 other top-drawer federal offi­cials—at a cost of $1,087,000 an­ nually.In addition to raising cabinet sal­ aries, the pay bill w ill:GRANT Undersecretary, of De­ fense Steve Early $20,000 a year mstead of $14,500, and the armed- forces secretaries $18,000 a year instead of $14,000. Most of the undersecretaries of the various departments w ill go up from $10,330 to $17,500. J . Edgar Hoover who, as head of the FB I, now receives $14,000 w ill get a raise to $16,000. Witness Adm iral Arthur W. Radford took the stand before the house armed sendees committee to testify that current defense plans and m ilitary setup rele­ gate the navy to a role "use­less and inadequate” in the event of an atomic war. CZECH PURGE: Slow Terror Slow terror, the kind that even­tually is bom in persons living under any totalitarian government, was seeping through Communist Czechoslovakia. Cause of it was a Red purge, aimed prim arily at supposed bour­geois elements, but leaving no man —be he a Communist party mem­ber or not—free from the fear that he may become a victim sooner or later. UNCONFIRMED reports of the total seized or marked for arrest in the Communist police roundups ranged between 30,000 and 40,000. No information was being given, either as to causes, results or any other details of the widespread ai^ rests. The pattern of the purge was clear. Landlords, architects, con­ fectioners and other sm all shop­ keepers were being picked up.and their business confiscated. In some cases, their apartments were seized and fam ilies dispossessed. In the m ain, it was a drive against Czechoslovakia’s proper­tied classes, theoretically the mor­ tal enemies of Marxist communism. HOW EVER, the prosecution of the property owners was accom- p a n i^ throughout Bohemia and Moravia by purges of government employees, the clergy, arm y and even the Communist ranks. Charges, where there were any, ranged from high treason and sympathy with Titoism or "western im perialism ” to simple denuncia­ tions by snoopers who had over­ heard suspicious bits of conversa­tion. Possible hint as to the reason behind the purge was the report that the government is having trouble not only in its campaign to control the Roman Catholic church, but also its efforts to prod highei production out of the workers. CHINESE REDS: Win Diplomats Was it a case of rats deserting a sinking ship? That might have been a plaus­ ible construction of the move as Chinese diplomatic-staff members in Paris deserted to the Communist regime at Peking and called on Chinese diplomats throughout the world to follow their example. GEORGE MONG, counselor of the Paris embassy, made the an­ nouncement. He reported that 11 diplomats, eight from the embassy and three from the consulate had walked out on Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalist government at Canton. The develonment posed a prob­ lem for the French foreign minis­ try’s Asiatic affairs section. They were particularly concerned by the threat of a rebel sit-in at the em­bassy. However, the issue was re­ solved when the French moved firm ly to back up the Nationalists and struck the dissident Chinese envoys off its diplomatic list. THE FRENCH difficulty was clear. While Paris still recognized the Nationalist government, it was becoming increasingly apparent that the westem powers eventually may recognize the Communist re­gime of Mao Tze-tung. Already there have been conversations on that subject. BURLEY: U.S. Likes Quotas The government took first steps toward continuing existing rigid marketing controls on burley to­ bacco am id calls by agriculture secretary Charles Brannan for another three-year control pro­gram and for views by interested persons on the question. BRANNAN’S REQUEST for the three-year extension of control on the burley crops stemmed from the fact that this year’s prospective, production of about 590 m illion pounds is well above the current annual rate of disappearance. The leftover of burley on October 1, the beginning of the 1949-cpop- marketing year, was estimated at 970 m illion pounds—about 7.5 per cent above liia t of a year ago. It was the highest on record. Brannan, in asking for expres­ sions of views by interested per­ sons, was acting imder require­ments of the law. The question is expected to be submitted to a ref­ erendum in December. Approval by at least two thirds of those vot­ ing would be required.QUOTAS for the 1947, 1948 and 1949 crops were voted in 1946. Brannan is also required by law to proclaim quotas by December 1 if he finds there is a surplus within terms of the law, and there would be few who - would not concede that a surplus exists. BIG STEEL: Try, Try Again The government was pledged to do its best to bring peace into the steel industry. M ORE AND M ORE meetings had been arranged in an effort to end the deadlock between workers and operators. Cyrus Ching, U. S. conciliator director, made the first peace move in the extended strike when he arranged inform al meet­ings with steel companies and the striking CIO United Steelworkers. Both sides had been holdmg doggedly to their pre-strike posi­tions—the union for company-paid insurance and pensions recom­mended by a presidential board, and the industry for welfare bene­ fits with workers helping to foot the bill. SOME COMPANIES had agreed to accept the union terms, but this did not m ean strike’s ease. The stakes were big in the con­test. Where big steel went there would go most of U. S. industry, inasmuch as steel usually sets the pattern in wage and labor nego­ tiations. NAVY: Blue Fading The man with the charming smile, the iron.w iU and a weak­ ness for salt water and blue uni­forms was no longer in the White House. Top man in U.S. govern­ment, instead, was a hard-bitten captain of artillery in World W ar I, an army enthusiast with little in common with sailors. THUS THE NAVY, embattled against a horde of critics, de­tractors, and air-minded big brass was literally fighting for its life before congress. The battle dragged on and on, while the huge B-36, world’s largest bomber, shook and bumped about in the verbal hurri­cane raging in Washington. The U.S. air force, for the mo­ment, at least, held the center of the s'age, seemed assured of most support. The navy, according to one witness, would be relegated to the status of a convoy force if present unification plans for the armed services were carried out.

Farmers should always be on the alert to the danger of run­off water washing away foot­ ings under foundations, partic­ ularly on outbuildings where such caution, normally, might not be exercised. When run­off water wasi!.es away footings under foundations, the building settles. Reduced Grain Growing Brings Seed Eold Need Prospects of reduced grain-grow­ing, including corn and wheat in 19S0 and following years should cause farmers to consider saving more grass and clover seed, says a statement from the college of agriculture. University of Kentuc­ ky. The seed, it was pointed out, w ill be needed for the sod crops that are to take the place of grain. The bureau of plant industry at Washington says that grain reduc­ tion w ill mean at least 25 per cent more grass and hay.

I am very sorry to say we have been parted for some tim e,” said a charm ing star of the stage and screen the other day. The mood vas that of numerous recent di­ vorce announcements. W hat’s be­come of the old-fashioned couple who used to part with the crash of pots and pans, m utual cries of “Sez you!” and a stem demand By H. I. PHILLIPS from the cops: “Make way for the wagon. They’re both all cut up?” ' In Hollywood a bnsband an- nonncing tiiat he is through with his bride says she is a very fine person. 1 have the highest regard for her. We agree to disagree.” A New York society gal, enduring matrimony for a couple of years, announces: “We are both very fond of each other.” C cr m r f When Jesus Saw T&eir Faith / T HERE are phtases ninnmg Aiou|^ the I word of God That strike liie ear, that gleam to catch the eye: These simple words, '*When Jesus saw their faith,” Ring out as dear and startling as a cry. He saw &eir faith, the one diing he required Before he granted what their hearts desired. When Jesus saw iheir faidi, the lame arose, And darkened eyes were given sudden sight; The dead were <juickened into life again. And hearts bowed down with sorrow were made light Because of that white inner burning flame He dianged the world for everyone who came. Lord, Lord, I, too, have faith; bdiold the fire That bums in me and grant my heart’s desire. GkACB NOU CROWBLL What goes?Away with these folk who an­nounce a separation m tones and manner of making known a deci­sion to cancel a magazine sub­scription or change the brand of white shoe polish. Let’s demand some harsh words, a few swings and a blow by blow of the fight leading up to the parting.* • • Divorce has been a sufficient blight on the social fabric with­ out this nonsense about it en­tailing merely a slight drop in friendliness. It is getting rou­tine to read of marriages being busted np because be and she like each other so m uch! If matrimony most go on the rocks, let’s cut the business of fitting the ship with loveseats and assigning a flock of harp­ists to sit on the rocks and play “When We Come to the End of a Perfect Day,” and “Dear Old P al of M ine.”• * * What is civilization coming to mates? There was a tim e when the m arriage state was regarded as sufficiently binding to command a little respect and nothing to be smashed up without a rousing battle, some broken furniture, a few shat­ tered window panes and m utual shrieks of '“Oh, Yeah! I was warned about you three months be­fore the wedding.”« • • You couldn’t get a good lawyer to take the case if neither side had an arm in a sling.* * * Not even a gossip reporter would credit a rumor of divorce pro­ ceeding if the principals were still capable of exchanging tender looks. No court would go on with the hear­ing if there were no dirty looks.« « * No self-respecting neighbor­ hood would stand for a couple breaking up a home on the friendUest of terms, and a sweet “^ease don’t get the idea we dislike each other.” It would regard such a mood as definite­ly tougher on community mor­ als than if all the kids had seen him throw her from the second story window, and if what she said to him withered the leaves on the backyard maples.• • • Parting on the friendliest ol terms! The very thought is cor. roding. It cheapens m arriage. You wish to break up your home? Gwan, get in there and do it right away! There should always be an excusa for divorce.• • • TE GOTHAM BOGLE AND BANNER The picture of the year was Art Whitake/s recent flash of the Sonfa Henie wedding shaming the kids "under th e teuC with expressions which pmnters strive to catch....

This is one radio show that tiie country evidently cannot do with­out. It went off the air in 1946, and GERTRUDE BERG Mrs. Berg turned it into a success­ful play; last January it began on television, and soon people were giving its presence as the best rea­son for buying a set. Now it’s on the air again, on CBS Friday evenings. And charming, warm-hearted Mrs. Berg is spending her days writing and rehearsing, but saving eve­ nings for her husband, two children and friends. Some years ago Susan Hayward was brought to New York by Para­ mount, part of a plan to build up a gorgeous looking young actress into a star.

Wilkinson Corner Ra n d y SUMNER toM the glrl he loved her. She was beautifuland he was human and he couldn’thelp himself. He felt chagrined when he thought of it later becausethat night he had forgotten tiiat he was a police detective and she thegirl friend and accomplice of the notorious Tony Quarles.He had to get away from her for a few days. It was the only way hecould think clear- ^ jly . So he ran up- M inuie to Chicago and Fiction droppedriB iign ^ The chief got sore when he saw him .“W hat the hell! The dame w ill take a powder on you. If she blows it’s curtans as far as our chance of brtaging in Tony is concerned.” Randy felt like telling the chief to jum p in the lake. But he didn’t. He knew the chief was right. Pam ela was Tony’s girl. A new one. They’d been seen together at The Lobster Club and the story was that Tony was nuts over her.Right after that the Ryegate job was pulled; a night watch­m an and a cop shot dead. Of course Tony vanished. They couldn’t hope to find him . The girl vanished too. A week later one of the boys saw her down at Ocean Bluffs. She was an nsher in a movie theater. They didn’t pick her up. The chief was too sm art for that. He sent Randy down. "You’re a good looking kid, Randy, with a nice, friendly smile. Go down there and play the sucker game. Sooner or later she and Tony w ill join up. It’s our only chance.”Randy’s part was easy. He played the part of a lumber king’s son down from M ichigan on vacation. The friendly smile worked. Pam ela trusted him . She seemed lonesome and glad to have him around. Then came that night when im ­pulsiveness gave way to logic. He kissed her and told her he loved her. Randy made plans. The payoff was due to come soon now. He had orders to take both the girl and Tony. Well, he’d do just that.Days passed. They saw each other once at least every 24 hours. They danced and went sailing and swam and played tennis. Randy suffered. He was haunted by the scene that was inevitable. There was a hauntmg light in the girl’s eyes also. He wondered if she too, were - suffering because the same thing had happened to her. •pitE N ONE DAY he called for * her and found wild fright in her eyes."Randy! I ’m afraid! He’s here!” “That m an. The m an I tried to teU you about—why I left Chicago. He-jie’* horrible! At first he was nice to me, then—I had to run away to keep him from—fnrni—” “W hat’s his nam e?” said Randy hoarsely. “Lancey. Tom Iiancey. He’s at the Seaside. He called and said—” “We’ll go down and have a talk with him ,” Randy snapped."Randy! I can’t! I ---” “You’re coming too!”She didn’t imderstand Randy’s at­ titude, but she trusted him .They went to the Seaside. Inside the door Pam ela stopped. “There he is !” she whispered. "O n the divan reading the newspaper.”It was Tony Quarles. Randy felt sick. He put his hand under his coat and started across the lobby. Tony saw him coming. But it was too late. Randy got his giui out and shot before Tony reached his feet. The gangster went down. Randy looked at him , then remembered the girl. He had to take her too. He looked around, and there she was, staring in wild-eyed horror. “Randy! You shouldn’t have— you’ve killed him .” Randy’s lip curled. Tony Quarles opened his eyes and saw the girL “Hello, sister,” he managed. “Con­gratulations. You’re the first wom­ an copper who ever fooled me, but I guess you were worth it. Baby, you’re a looker.” Of course she wasn’t a copper. But she wasn’t Tony’s girl either. She was just who she said she was. She’d been telling the truth. And Randy was so surprised he let her swoon in his arms before he could gather his senses enough to explaiq his own identity. CROSSWORO P02 U[lAST WiEK'S ANSWER ^ ACROSS1. A retired glen5.

Old Tax Notice Rufus Sanford was showing us an old tax notice last week which his father, C. C. Sanford, for eight years Sheriff of Dav'e County, had printed in the year 1877. The sheriff warned the folks who hadn’t paid their taxes that they had better do so at once, or they would be fined heavily, or words to that effect. Seems that folks didn’t like to pay taxes seventy years ago. Mr. Sanford served as sheriff from 1874 to 1882, when W. A. Bailev was elected sheriff and George Shcek was elected Register of Deeds. That was in the good old days.

Melton of Advance, was ar. rested Wednesday by Sheriff Paul Foster on a warrant charging him with the murder of Melton. The jury empaneled by Dr. W. M. ^ n g , who had been appoint­ ed acting coroner by Sheriff Foster, found that Myers shot Melton in self-defense and ordered him re­ leased.

Brock will represent Myers. Myers testified at the inquest that Melton and another man came to his home Saturday to get a girl who was living there. An argument ensued and Myers testi- fied he ordered Melton off the premises. Mvers testified that Melton drew a pistol and fired at him. He said he went into the house, got a shot-gun and fired at Mel­ ton’s car. He said Melton then approached the house and fired his pistol several times. Myers testified he discharged his shot­ gun through the door. The dis­ charge struck Melton in the chest. He died instanlty.

God Our Comfort Lesson for November 6, 1949 K S T H E ENGLISH language “ keeps on changing, words do not always keep on meaning what they once did. “Comfort” is one of these. When our Bible was trans­lated into English in 1611, the trans­ lation most Eng- lish-speaWng p e o - pie use, the word “comfort” had a bigger meaning than most people put into it nowa­ days. We think of it as m eaning soothing; but it is a bigger idea than that. Giod is not merely a soothing Foreman God. We think of “comfort” as meaning to make comfortable; but it is a stouter word than that. God does not al- vrays make his people comfortable. The word means to strengthen, to steel against fear and despair, to put backbone into people.* • » “Fear Not, O Worm!” At t h e TIM E of the prophecies we study this week, the Israel­ ites had been kicked around a good deal. They had felt the conqueror’s boots, they were discouraged, as a ll good people are when somehow God seems to be letting evil forces trium ph. Their little world had split wide apart, their little nation had been blown to the winds. To those people, torn by ter­ rors and bowed down by wretchedness, people who were In serious danger of developing a once-for-all “ inferiority com­ plex,” people who were about to lose all their backbone, the great prophet brings his mes­ sages: “Comfort ye my people, saith your God.” The whole idea is in this one sentence (Is. 41:14): “Fear not, O worm Jacob! . . . I am your helper, saith the Lord.”God does not indulge his people in foolish pride. Beside the Al- m ightly they are worms, insects. Nevertteless, worm though he m ay be, the man who trusts in God w ill not be afraid. He w ill not trust in his own powers, he w ill not trust in luck, he w ill trust in God.A worm by itself is nothing; but with God on his side, the weakest of men can say with Paul, “If God be for us, who can be against us?” God’s men do not get their cour­age up by flexing their muscles or adm iring themselves. I^e y grow in courage as they grow in the know­ ledge of God.• * • Goodness And Power An y ONE who saw “Edward, My Son” w ill remember the trage­ dy of that fam ily. A boy’s charac­ter went slowly to pieces, because his father was determined that nothing should be too good for him . To gain his purpose the father ran rough-shod over everyone who stood in his way, and eventually ruined the lives of all around him , including his son’s and his own. The mother, on the other hand, could see, as the father could not, what his indtdgence was doing to the boy, making him a weakling and a rat. But she was too weak to stand up against her husband, and her life too was ruined. ’That story is a kind of parable. The prophet reveals a God who Is both powerftd and good; but suppose God were only good but not powerful, or only powerful but not good? Then the world would be in .a mess, as fiiat boy Edward was in a mess. But these tliree are a ll in the same God. A God who is power only, m ight do as Edward’s father did, destroy his children without even intending to do so. A God who is goodness only, m ight want to do right by his world yet not be able to do so, like Edward’s moth­er. A (lod who knew what was right but neither wanted nor was able to do much about it, would not be a God at all.e • « God Is Not Weary SUPPOSE GOD were indeed pow­ erful, good and wise, and yet grew tired from tim e to time? Sup­pose all God’s good qualities came and went, unpredictably, like the wind on a spring day? No; God is the Maker and Keeper of Promises, the Cove­nant God. He does not grow faint or weary; that Is our anchor of comfort. The earth changes, and men with It; but the Word of the Lord abides forever. His "covenant of peacfe” does not waver. We do not need to lean gingerly on the Almighty. Be w ill bear a ll our weight.

Yet the mileage death rate—deaths per 100,000,000 vehicle m iles—was the lowest in the nation’s history. The 8.0 rate was 30 per cent lower than the average rate of 11.5 through World W ar II.

She was unable to determine the cause of his anguish so she just tried to stop his crying. “Oh, come now," she urged him , 1 wouldn’t cry like that if I were you.” ‘You can cry as you want to.” he sobbed, “I wanna cry my own way.” Prodigal The optometrist adjusted the pa­tient’s new eyeglasses carefully and said with a tone of satisfac­ tion, “There, now you’ll be able to read without straining your eyes.” The m an looked a little doubtful. “You mean I ’ll be able to read without going to school?” he asked. Variation The question before the class was whether “ trousers” was sing- tilar oi; plural. The point was settled by declar­ing them singular at the top and plural at the other extremity. Temporary Adhesive For a temporary adhesive—or to mend something that will just be kept around and never used or put in hot water—try transparent nail polish. It works on dishes as well as glassware.

Separating Stock Glasses To separate two glasses which ere stuck together, dip the outside glass in warm—not hot—water, and at the same tim e put cold— not iced—water into &e inside glass. Ousting Fryables For dusting fryables, pancake flour gives a better flavor than or­ dinary flour.

Let’s stay here and save the trouble.” People Becom ing Artisans More and more people are bend­ing their backs and swinging the hammer and paint brush in build­ ing their own homes than ever be- for in this modern age. With places to rent scarce, prices high and more tim e on their hands, famiUes are undertaking these con­ struction projects. They derive much enjoyment from the work, have a sense of pride and satisfac­ tion and have saved much money on their investment when the job of building their new home is com* pleted. Use for "Discards” Women of the house v.m11 find th»t shirt boards (those cardboard back­ing sheets that come with laun­ dered sh-rts) are stiff enough to hold sweepings when no dust pan is handy. Some housewive.s keep a supply of them in their basements and garages and reach for one when they are overcome with thp cleaning urge. If you’re building or remodeling a home, there’s ad­ditional reason for saving those shirt boards. Stack them near the old broom used for sweeping up wood shavings, plaster particles, and the mud and dirt which is daily tracked into the house by work­ men. Convert 47,000 in U.S. More than 47,000 persons in the United States, converted last year through the efforts of Tlie Salvation Army, have probably returned to i.he churches to which they once l-e!onged, according to Commis- -ioner Ernest I.

S. military forces at five times their prewar strength, > record number of American Red Cross work­ ers are serving them throughout the world. More than 2,000 Red Cross repre­ sentatives today are stationed at 1,300 military installations and 123 hospi­ tals here and overseas. About 1,400 staff workers are serving troops in this country. The others are working at occupation and defense posts abroad Only during the peak years of World War II were a larger number on duty The duties ol thwo Red Cinss wor!.- ers are as varied as t!ic Iccalu in which they work, involving a wi<ie rf welfare sei'vices that contribute tii mili­tary morale. They may include liilini' over a soldier’s wife with grocery ami rent money until her f.iraily alloivimco check comes throu'rli. or scttin,!; n tvcl. fare report on an En!:inio sp:". i?cman’s mother via wcsthor hurrao raiiio.

Service of the I'fd Cro-ss worker in a military hospital may be helping a man through the fiilficult hour when ho learns that he will never be well again or removing the worry that often stands in thp way of his recovery. Under federal statute and regu­ lations of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force, the American Red Cross furnishes volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of the armed forces and acts in matters ol volun­tary relief and as a medium of com­ munication between the people of the United States and their armed forces. In the last year Red Cross stall' members handled more than 102,000 welfare cases in military hospitals More than 500 professional Red Cro.«f workers are stationed at 40 army hos­ pitals, 2(i navy hospitals, and 14 air force hospitals. For the able-bodied, too, whatpvei the problem or wherever the .service­ man is stationed, the chances are that It All Adds Up "The music teacher asked me something to-day that I didn’t know,” said little Freddie. . “^Vhat was that?” asked his par­ent. “He asked me how many carrots there were in a bushel.” How many carrots in a bushel?” asked the surprised parent. "W hat in the world can that have to do with music?”And the next day he chanced to meet the professor, and made in­quiry. The professor looked blanic, then a light dawTied, and he laughed heartily. ! “Oh, I see. I asked him how : many beats there were in a meas- ■ ure!” The Red Cross man at Hickam Ail Force liase, Hawaii, lends a helpini: hand to a young marine, enroute friini Kwajalein to bis Maine home on emer­ gency leave. the Red Cross has a field worker or the spot or nearby who can help trj to solve it.In this country 361 field directors and their assistants cover 148 bast stations, 31 substations, and 923 itin­ erant stations. During the last year field directors at camps handled more than 672,000 cases. Health and wel­fare reports requested by servicemen or their families were the most com­ mon type of help asked for- More than 179,000 such cases were recorded. The next most frequent type of request was that involving leave or exten.sion of leave. The Red Cross cannot grant i leave, but militar.v authorities depend iipon the organization for reports of conditions underlying leave requests. These cases run into many thousandp each year.Abroad, Red Citn;s coverage is al­most as complete as in this country In Japan alone. 159 men and women are sewing occupation troops at 31 military installations and 14 hospitals Other parts of the Far East are equally well staired. In Europe. 24S Red ('ross workers serve military pesonr.cl anil their de- pemients at 51 military installations iand 15 hospitals, most of tliem in oc- icupied Germany. Coverage is also Riven in Ensh'nd and to miscellaneotis units still in Pr.-.ncc. Britain’s Roads The Homans gave Britain her ■ first roads and they built them just j about as straight as nature would I allow. But it was the first and last attempt to emulate crow-flight. In the centuries since, the British have allowed their roads to flow ; like rivers, following the charming i line of least resistance. Even the modern concrete arteries perform ! graceful loops round sleepy vil- j lages, allowing them to snooze un- . disturbed. Eggs on Bill of Fare The consumption of eggs, one ot the oldest and most wide-spread ot foods, isn’t restricted to the pro­duct of barnyard fowl. Eggs of almost all birds and of some rep­tiles and fish are eaten or hav* been eaten at one tim e in somo comer of the world. Those of ducks, geese, ostriches, plovers, alliga­tors, crocodiles, turtles, penguins, gulls, albatrosses, and pelicans, among others, still are important diet items for m any peoples of today. UncSe Sam Says “E el Do” An Irish and an English couple went on a vacation together. They were most affable. In the after­noon, while the men played cards, the women would go fishing, for both of their husbands were very fond of fish. One day, Mrs. Clancy got a nibble on her line. After great difficulty she brought in her catch—a great big eel. “I say, Mrs. Clancy,” the Eng­lish woman said, “you have an eel for your husband.”“Yes,” snapped Mrs. Clancy, “and you’ve got a jerk for yours!” Matter of Choice To neutralize the odor of the stockyards district as the bus weht by it, a lady passenger bought a bottle of lavender salts. She un­ corked the bottle one block away from the district and kept it under her nose until the bus passed the section.One morning as she rode along she glanced out the window and saw that it was time to uncork the bottle. She did so and held it to her nose. As the smell of stockyards grew stronger she held the bottle closer to her nose. When the bus reached the heart of the stockyards district a man across the aisle shouted:"For God’s sake, lady, close that bottle,” City dwellers may complain of the hot days bat farmers realize how nec­ essary sunshine is to their growing crops.

R4 A yonoe m inister had just set. tied in bis first pasteriite in P hila delphia, when be was visited one evening b> one o f the laymen in his church. The m an said to him : 'Yon do not seem to be a strong preacher. lu the usual order of things you w ill fall here, but a lit. tie group of us have agreed to gather every Sunday m orning to pray for you.” The young man saw that group of young people grow to more than one thousand persons, all praying weekly for the pastor. H e was J. W ilbu r Chapuian. who grew to be­ come one of the greatest preachers America has ever know n. O h that our churches every- wberywhere had a group of godly members who would meet on S un. dav m orning and pray for their pastors! W hy not? N o doubt m any a dear pastor w hb loves the Lord and his people hardly ever hears of anyone who Is praying for him . They expect him to visit the sick, bury the dead, m arry the lovers, go among his members con tlnually and keep them com ing to church, and help them w ith tbeir problems, their tests and trials study and prepare his messages, and perhaps teach a class In Sun­ day school, be In prayer meeting every Wednesday, and maybe held cottage prayer meetings among his parishioners once a week, hold re. vivals. help the poor and needy, win souls, take care of his fam ily, educate his children, and prove a blessing to everybody In th » com- m unitv, yet they never meet to pray for him . Oftentim es m em . bers of our churches expect the pastor to do all the work w hile they sit back and look on. H any even fail to speak an enconraging word, and certainly qnite a num ­ ber never support tbeir pastor fin­ ancially. U sually a faithful- few a- among our church members have 'o snpport the church, w hile others d rift carelessly nlong and seem to feel no responsibility. W e believe almost any pastor that is godiv and prayerful, even though not highly educated, could make a great success in the past- o”ate as a soul.w inner and sbep* herd of the flock, if he ^^ad a real praving, tith in g , faithful member, ship. Instead of finding fault of your pastor, if he is a godly m an, trv praying for him very sincerely. Pray for him through the week, and pray for him very eamcst’y on Sundav m orning, and see how good be preaches, and how successful he w ill be. Our Courts G ov.

S L A P - Not That Important A very sm all boy had declined prunes so vociferously as to raise the whole matter to one of discip­line rather than a pardonable foible. His mother told him that God would probably be displeased at his disobedience.Later in the evening there came a heavy thunderstorm, and mother grasped this opportunity of going upstairs to heal the breach. She found the tiny mutineer standing in front of the window in an attitude of disgust. "H uh!” he said defiantly, as a terrific peal of thimder shook the house, “all this fuss about six prunes.” Knew What He Wanted Billy had been pestering his fath­er for weeks on end to buy him a puppy. “ You can’t have one just now,” his father repeated for weeks on end. “You know very well that you soon will have a little baby brother or sister to play with so please stop asking for a dog.” About a week later his father told Billy that he had a brother and asked him if he would like to see him. Billy reluctantly agreed to go up to the bedroom to see his new playmate. He gazed scornfully at the red-faced, squawking infant and turned to his father.“Daddy,” he said, "1 want a puppy.” No Flowers A motorist on a muddy road pulled up alongside a fellow traveler who was digging his car out. “Stuck in the m ud?” “No, my engine died here and I’m digging a grave to bury it.” Nice Another nice thing about silence is that it can’t be repeated.

Iroquois 'GonsiHutlon* Is Traced to Its Soureo An essentially new version of the “ epic of the Iroquois” has been traced to its source by a Smith­ sonian Institution ethonologist. It is a 300-page manuscript which apparently has served for year* as a sort of Indian Magna Charta on the Grand River reservation of tbe Iroquois in Ontario. It came as a temporary loan to the Library of the American Philosophical Society in .Philadelphia, was microfilmed, and since has been returned to its Indian owners. Written in Indian-English in the bold style of a scribe, the manu­script tells the story of the legend­ ary Iroquois lawgiver and prophet Degandawida, founder of the cele­ brated League of the Five Nations, which was one of the great original political systems of ttie world. It also describes, in considerable de­tail, the wanderings of the law­ giver’s disciple Ayonwhathah, bet­ter known as Hiawatha, who was the chief missionary of the re­ markable religion of peace and brotherhood which arose in the North American forests before the coming of the whites. The manuscirpt consists largely of the texts of the chants which ac­companied the Iroquois ceremonials • and the “constitution” of the League. This was perhaps the first constitutional government to arise in the New World. Its 30 articles, sometimes extended to 72, defined the rights of the original five tribes ; and of the tribes which later were ' admitted to the confederation. Few I modem Americans realize how the ! workings of the leacue affec’ pd the thinking of he framers of our own Constitution. An Australian, who had just ar­ rived in New York after a long trip across the continent, stood one day and watched a sandlot baseball game. His interest grew and grew until he went so far as to ask to be permitted to try his hand at it.He trotted out into the field where four players were shagguig prac­ tice flies and stood with them for a moment or two. Then a screaming line drive came at iiim like an express train. He put his hands up with the intention of catching it but the horsehide tore right through his fingers and bounced 60 his nose.After the flow of blood had been staunched he said, “Thanks, boys, but I guess it’s a little too danger­ous for me.” He then proceeded to catch a tram for Niagara Falls where he was scheduled to walk a tight-rope across the roaring rap­ids.

Our County And Social Security By Mrs. Ruth G. Dufiy, Manager. October 24 was United Nations Day. Thw United Nations offici­ ally came into existence on Oct 24, 1945, with the depositing at the Department of State on that day of a sufficient number of rati­ fications to bring its Charter into effect. Since 1947, the birthday of this international organization is observed each year on United Nations Day, October 24- W hat is the United Nations? Basically, it is a piece of machin­ ery or the means whereby con­ flicts between the member nations can be settled peacefully. The pur­ pose of the United Nations goes beyond the single task of preserv­ ing peace. Its biggest concern is people, for the world cannot be safe unless each human being in it feels safe and secure- enjoys Freedom from W ant and Freedom from Fear. O ur Government by the pas­ sage of the Social Security Act in 1935 provided a measure of secur> ity from want in old age. In 1939, the law was amended to provide some measure of freedom ftom want to survivors of workers in industry. The Social Security Ad­ ministration has recommended fot several years the expansion of the present program to include wage eamars not now covered by it, and also the liberalization in the monthly benefits. Before ad­ journing, the House of Represen­ tatives of the 81st Congress voted for expansion and a more compre­ hensive program. No action was taken by the Senate. The worker now covered by the program should see to it that each employer for whom he works has his account number. The benefits he or his family will get depends on the amount of wages credited to his account. For workers who are on jobs covered by the law only part of the time, this advice is very important. Now that tall and winter are here, many farm­ ers and those who have workod on farms during the planting and harvesting seasons will seek em­ ployment in jobs that are covered by the law. A§ the time of such workers is divided between cover­ ed and not covered work, it is to their advantage to see that their employers have their account num­ bers. Every worker when he rea­ ches 65. should get in touch with a representative of the Social Se­ curity office.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE. N. C. Anderson Rapped Q N L Y A PEW insiders know it, but President Truman has turned sour against his former secretary of agriculture Clinton Anderson. In fact, the other day the President hurled his favorite insult against Anderson, now serv­ ing in the senate from New Mexico. He called him a “big-interest m an.”What prompted this bitter epithet was Anderson’s fight against flat, 90 per cent farm supports. The President has long suspected that Anderson was quietly knifing the Brannan farm plan, but the clinch­ er came when Anderson urged a "compromise” 75 to 90 per cent, flexible price-support scale. Anderson had spread the impres­sion that the President was back­ ing his compromise. Puzzled, a congressional visitor put the ques­ tions warily to Truman.“In the senate,” he said, “Elmer Thomas (of Oklahoma) quoted you as being for 90 per cent parity, while Dick Russell (of Georgia) said he understood you were against 90 per cent.” “I don’t know how Dick got that idea,” Truman broke in. “Senator Anderson seems to have taken command,” added the congressman. “Personally I don’t care for Anderson’s philosophy.” “Well, Clint Anderson is a big- interest m an,” declared the Presi­ dent firm ly.“As between Anderson’s bill and straight 90 per cent parity,” Tru­ man continued, “I naturally favor 90 per cent because we cam­ paigned on that basis.” The President added that, on all the farm bills that had come out, he liked congressman Stephen Pace’s the best, be­cause the Georgia congressman had included the production payment feature of the Bran­nan plan. Referring again to Anderson, the congressional visitor pointed out that big-interest men who pose as liberals are much more dangerous than out-and-out reactionaries. “There is no question about that,” agreed the President emphatically.Note—Secretary of Agriculture Charlie Brannan has been fretful over Anderson’s opposition, but hasn’t raised his voice a;5ainst his former boss—because Charlie owes his job to him . Lewis Roars John L. Lewis was at his roaring best when the coal operators met with Federal Mediation Chief Cy Ching on their first try to settle the coal strike. While the meeting got nowhere, it certainly didn’t lack sound effects. The northern operators—led by Harry Moses, president of U.S. Steel’s H. C. Frick company, and George Love, of the Pittsburgh Consolidation Coal company—sug­ gested that negotiations be based on Lewis’s last contract, which ex­pired June 30. The southern mine owners, led by Joseph Moody, didn’t want to go this far, contend­ing there should first be reforms in the welfare fund. Boiling mad, Lewis thun­dered: “I w ill not discuss the old contract. Unless yon gentle­men are willing to talk about increased wage and payments into the welfare fund, as well as reduced working hours for the men who toil underground, there is no purpose in my re­maining here.” Turning a baleful glare at Moses, Love and Moody, he added wroth- ily that he might have known he would be wasting his tim e en­ deavoring to deal with “these eco­nomic puppets of the United States Steel company and the Cleveland Trust company.”The operator trio chuckled. They had been called worse names than this by the eloquent miners’ boss. Captive Mines “Why, you have no authority to speak for your bosses in U.S. Steel or the Cleveland Trust company,” Lewis went on referring to the Cleveland bank’s interest in Pilts- burgh Consolidation Coal and U.S. Steel’s ownership of the H. C. Frick Co. “So, why do you waste my time? If it was a question of matching your authority in the United Mine Workers. I would send five of my local union presidents to deal across the table with .you.” The operators reminded Lewis that he shouldn’t accuse them of making no “offer” to settle the strike, since he had made no spe­cific offer himself.“I have labor to sell,” Lewis re­ plied. “It’s up to the operators to bid for it.” Mediator Ching diplomatically re­ marked that the coal strike could never be mediated and settled until both sides showed a more co­operative attitude. But this pro­voked another wordslide from Lewis.“What do you mean by media­tion?” he demanded. "W hy don’t you use some on the operators to make them stop their highhanded oppression of labor?”“I have no authority to make either side of this dispute do any­ thing,” replied Ching. “All I can do is bring you together.” ----------W H KLY N ew s ANALYSIS--------- Nourse Raps Deficit Spending; Decontrol Fails to Dood Rent; Military Rudget Tops 15 Rillion vSDlTOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these colamns. Ifaey are these o w estern Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper. U.S. SPENDING: Deficit System Hit It seemed an obvious conclusion that the President’s council of eco­ nomic advisers was having little effect in influencing government of­ficials to insist upon a real' effort by the administration to put its financial house in order. ANY such conclusion would have been bolstered by the fact that Dr. Edward G. Nourse, chairm an of the council, was quitting that body. In an address before the national retail farm equipment association. Dr. Nourse hit hard at federal def­icit spending and charged that the government is “slipping back into deficits as a way of life.” Instead of deficit financing, he said, the government should be “putting its fiscal house in order and husbanding reserves to support the economy if less prosperous times overtake us.” According to reports. Dr. Nourse had informed President Truman that he was going to leave the gov­ernment, although there was no word as to whether the President had accepted or would accept the resignation. WELL-PLACED official circles were said to believe that Nourse’s decision to leave the advisers coun­ cil was because of his belief that he had failed in what he regarded was a fight to keep the council on a strict professional plane of fact­finding and advice-giving, divorced from political issues. In his address, Nourse was crit­ ical of elements among labor, agri­culture and management, chiding farmers for “demanding stim ula­ tive prices,” labor for demandmg shorter hours in the face of the need for increased production. RENTS: Keep Level A rather surprising thing had happened. A survey showed that lifting of rent control in more than 500 areas had not resulted in whole­sale rent increases. Lifting of con­ trols, put into effect in wartime, began last April 1.TAKEN as a whole, however, rents in key decontrolled areas did go up a little, but the hike was not as severe as most observers had predicted. The survey disclosed that land­lord reaction to decontrol was spotty. One m ajor factor in the over-aU rent picture was said to be the number of vacancies available —a factor which m ight, after all, have considerable restraining ef­ fect on any appreciable over-all rent increase. Some landlords raised rents, but had to cut them again when tenants moved out. Also some landlords . were still bound by leases issued in the period before decontrol. According to the survey, in­creases were scattered, rather than general, in most places.THUS THE PICTURE of the rent situation generally is clouded by the factors enumerated, factors which may of themselves have enough restraint value to hold down rent hike, as well as a dis­ inclination of landlords to raise rentals to levels most Americans expected.Continuing strikes, loss of income, more accessibility of housing sites may all combine to keep any gen­ eral and extensive rent increases from being made in the near fu­ ture. MILITARY: 15.5 Billions If war comes, America intends to be ready. Demonstrating that fact, congress finally got together on a record peace-time m ilitary appro­ priations b ill totaling approximate­ ly 15.5 billion dollars, including funds to build the air force up to 58 groups. BREAKING a month-long dead­lock and spurred, no doubt, by re­ ports that Russia has the atomic bomb, house and senate hurried through the details of the final measure which went to President Truman for approval.In this action, the senate finally bowed to house insistence on giving the air force some 10 groups and 740 m illion dollars more than Pres­ ident Truman had requested for it.CONCERN over the possibility of enemy atomic attack was indicated when congress also appropriated 50 m illion dollars to start construc­tion of a vast radar screen de­signed to warn the United States of any enemy air attack. Record's In President Harry S. Trnman, with congress finally in ad­ journment, would have to go to the people with the record of that congress in the fight for Democratic seats in the 1950 elections. Little of his program was enacted, but there was little doubt he wonid defend the congress to the end. BIG DAY: Break for Kids Underprivileged children in more than 3,000 U. S. and Canadian com­munities w ill receive assistance from a far-reaching program of youth welfare announced by Ki- wanis International and The Na­tional Kids' Day Foundation, Inc. J . Hugh Jackson, Stanford, Calif., president of Kiwanis International, in announcing the cooperative ef­ fort, said “the problems of under­ privileged children are the p ro ^ lems of the entire nation but their solution depends upon local action. There are more than 3,000 Kiwanis clubs which are geared for partici­pation in the program.” FOCAL POINT of the campaign w ill be the observance of an an­nual “National Kids Day,” the first to be held on Saturday, November 19, when each community w ill be asked to enlist the support of its citizens in meeting the problems of local youth. The Kiwanis president empha­sized that National Kids’ Day wUl not be celebrated as a holiday or used as a gift-giving occasion. “It is our intention to use the observ­ance of this day as a means of rallying the forces of each com­ munity toward solving local juve­nile problems,” he continued. “By this means, we hope to raise ad­ ditional funds to carry on a year- round program of youth activity in cities and towns in the U. S. and Canada. Money raised in each com­ munity w ill be spent in the same community for the benefit of chil­dren.” CHARLES PETTIJOHN, execu­ tive secretary of The National Kids’ Day Foundation, Hollywood, Calif., said his organization was formed last year to call national attention to the right of underprivileged youth to enjoy some of the benefits nor­m ally accruing to boys and girls in more fortunate circumstances. The Foundation also seeks to attract at­tention to the accomplishments of youth and to stimulate additional interest in the problems of youth. DEFENSE: A Speedup The United States was moving swiftly to meet the threat of Soviet possession of the atomic bomb. President Truman and the atomic energy commission had ordered a 30 m illion dollar expansion of atom bomb facilities at Oak Ridge, Tenn., and Hanford, Wash. THUS THE RACE to see whether the U. S. or Soviet Russia could pro­duce the most bombs seemed, to be on, and with it went any immediate hope, at least, for any international control of atomic energy. The ex­tent of the U. S. effort in the race was seen when authoritative quar­ters announced that the new atomic- plant-construction program ulti­mately would cost 300 m illion dol­lars. Chairman McMahon (D ., Conn.) of the congressional atomic energy committee, called the project a “m ajor expansion effort.” Mc­Mahon would not say that the ac­ tion stemmed from Russian prog­ress with atomic fission, but there was a certain evidence of haste in­ asmuch as White House clearance for the project came just six days after President Truman announced the atomic explosion in Russia. MIDDLE COURSE India Would Fight if Liberty Threatened less of war and to think more ofIndia wiU steer a middle course, clear of entanglements in the cold war, but when “man’s liberty or peace” is endangered, then India w ill fight. That was the declaration of In­dia’s prime minister Jaw aharlal Nehru in a foreign policy speech in New York a few days after his arrival m the United States.He called upon the world to talk peace and how to attain it, and ad­monished both east and west that: “The very process of marshaling of the world into two hostile camps precipitates the conflict which it is sought to avoid. The Indian statesman’s views were given in an address marking ceremonies in which Columbia uni> versity made him an LLD. INDUSTRY: British Threat How w ill the British devaluation of the pound and the resultant de­crease in factory wage rates affect U.S. industry? Potentially, the threat of very real and devastating competition from that source is seen by James F. Lincoln, nationally-known U.S. industrialist and president of the Lincoln Electric company, Cleve­land. ‘‘IF W E were to send 10,000 Amer­ ican production experts to England and ttte European continent for. one year, those countries could shut down evs^y industrial plant in the United States,” said Lincoln in sen interview in Cleveland. He had just returned from a two-week tour of industrial concerns in England, Hol­land, Belgium and France. His judgment, be said, was based on the fact of the factory wage rate decreases in England, following de­valuation, and a' sim ilar effect on nations affected to an average of pressures thus established. Lin­ coln declared that the devaluation action had cut wage rates in the nations effected to an average of only one-seventh of the wage level in this country. If these nations can continue to throw goods produced at those wage levels into this country, Lincoln ob­ served, there is a strong threat to American industry as a result. UP TO NOW, he pointed out, that hasn’t been done because European manufacturers are still enjoying a seller’s market, and European pro­duction methods have not yet reached a stage of development which w ill allow them to compete with American-made products. “The menace to United States in­dustry w ill come,” Lincoln said, “when the home markets of these countries are satiated and when U. S. production methods are more widely applied abroad.” RED A-BOMB: Mot Bluffing Russia has had the atomic bomb as a “real weapon” since 1947. That was the statement of Rus­ sia’s Andrei Vishlnsky as he put the blast on a campaign in the United Nations to put Yugoslavia on the security council. SO, whether or not the Russians really have the bomb developed to the actual threatening stage, the Soviets were playing right along with President Truman’s announce­ment that the bomb was really theirs. Possessors of the bomb or not, the Russians were now in an as advantageously strategic purpose diplomatically as it they had it.Vishinsky went on to predict “painful consequences” for the United Nations if Yugoslavia, with U. S. support, wins a security coun­cil seat over Czechoslovakia. AT a news conference the Soviet representative reminded reporters of a Tass communique last Sep­tember which disclosed that Rus­ sia has had an atomic weapon. And that was the farthest Vish­insky had gone in the current U. N. session concerning Russia’s posses­sion of the bomb. On September 23 he had declared that the U. S. had no monopoly on the bomb, but had not amplified that statement. WAGES: 75c Minimum More than a m illion and a half workers in interstate commerce were due for a pay hike as a result of congressional approval of a biU raising the m inim um wage rate from 40 to 75 cents an hour. The estimated annual cost was 800 m il­lion dollars. While raising the wage floor, the bill changed the language of the wage-hour law so as to remove cov­ erage from possibly several hun­dred thousand of the persons now under its provisions. The bill went to President Truman where early approval was predicted. Champ Cow The American Guernsey club of Peterboro, N. H ., proudly presents Spar - H ill Clematic, seven-year-old pure-bred golden Guernsey, as its choice for champion cow of the year. Dur­ ing the year, the cow gave 23,000 pounds of m ilk and 1,200 pounds of butterfat, four times the aver­age yield. THE'W ITCH': A New Prison Swearing and muttering. Use Koch, blonde “witch of Buchen- wald,” was transferred from an American m ilitary prison to the custody of German police who have charged her with 29 Buchenwald murders. W ith her charged crimes reading like a list of horrors from medieval history, the wife of the one-time Buchenwald concentration camp commandant was widely accused. Danger of Fires Worse on Farms Suggestions Advanced For Preventing Blaze Of an estimated fire loss of 11,- 000 lives and nearly 700 m illion dollars in property and resources indicated for the year 1949, a great percentage of these losses w ill be made up of fires on the farm . Because of lack of fire protection or adequate fire-fighting facilities, farm fires in almost every case are the most disastrous, because of the almost inevitable complete loss which results.Already the national board of fire underwriters has reported property destruction from fire in the amount of 398 m illion dollars, 8.9 per cent below the same period for 1948. But even if a downward trend should continue for the remainder CHIMNEY TOP flu e l in in g FLUE RINd STOVE PIPE Of 1949, this year’s losses would ap­proach the 1948 all-time high of more than 711 miBion dollars.These figures m ark 1948-49 as the most disastrous period in a decade that has recorded five billion dol­ lars in fire destruction. Between 1940 and 1948, fire loss soared 132 per cent.As the “prime cause” of most of the 800,000 fires annually, the Board lists “plain carelessness and mis­ use, of heating and lighting equip­ m ent.” The leading single cause of fire is careless smoking and use of catches, accounting for 16.68 per cent of the total destruction. How­ever, over the past ten years, the combination of defective chimneys and flues, stoves, furnaces, boilers and their pipes, and sparks on roofs has been responsible for 20.47 per cent of a ll fires reported.Proper safeguards in installation and maintenance of heating equip­ ment, chimneys and flues, safety officials say, w ill prevent fires of this type. Many communities al­ready protect their citizens with ordinances requiring the installa­tion -of flue linings in all new chimneys. One effective means of fireproofing chimneys involves the use of clay flue lining which forms a single, continuous noninflamma­ble unit inside chimneys of all types. The indestructible clay lin­ing prevents weather, heat and corrosive smoke and gases from eating away the m ortar between the bricks of the chimney. This elimi­nates the danger of flames reach­ing combustible materials through cracks between the bricks. Authorities urge homeowners to make a careful inspection of chimneys and heating equipment.

U.S. Agricultural Unit Helped Penicillm Use Although the U.S. department of agriculture did not make the dis­covery of penicillin, its work made it practical to produce the antibio­tic commercially.

N. C. B R O A D W A Y A N D M A IN ST R E E T Ibsen, Shmibsen, She Said; Confide With Me Everything ----------------------By BILLY ROSE---------------- I recently read a magazine piece entitled, “W hat’s Wrong w ith Modern Marriage,” in which the author opined that the divorce rate would drop like an over-ripe apple if the average w ife showed more interest in her husband’s business and hobbies. W ell, mebbe so, but you can’t prove it by m y U nde Charlie and m y A unt Frieda.... Charlie and Frieda are a couple of oldsters who have been living in a four-room flat on the East Side almost as long as magazines have been printing articles entitled, “What’s Wrong with Modem Marriage.” Ever since their nuptials, they’ve had at least one argument a day, and when they stop scrapping that’s when I ’ll start worrying about them.I remember an evening back in the days when I was knee-high to the Allen Street curbstone when Aunt Frieda came home from the movies with an air of unwavering nobility. “Charlie,” she said tensely, “how Is business at the shop, good, bad or fair to the mid­ dle?”“ Eh - peh,” an­ swered my uncle.(“Eh - peh,” I hasten to translate, means that things being what they are, if a man breaks even he can consider himself a runaway success.) is no answer,” said BUIy Bose “ ‘Eh-peh’Frieda. “I am sick of living in a doll’s house.”“I see,” said Charlie. “Tonight in the nickelodeon was showing Nazimova in ‘A Doll’s House’ by Hymie Ibsen.” “Ibsen, Shmibsen,” said Frieda. “You can’t push me out of your life. Confide in me everything, come thick or thin.” "This I’ll confide," said Charlie. "When I come home from the shop I'm tired out like a dog. Bad enough I live through the day without it should repeat on me like radishes." However, with m y Aunt Frieda, like Colimibus, there was no turn­ing back. She kept picking away until Charlie itemized the day’s doings—everything from punch-in to punch-out.• • • BOT THAT WAS only the begin­ ning. The payoff came a few weeks later when Charlie was f ii^ g to at­tend his weekly pinochle session. “I want you should teach me how to play,” said Frieda. “Pinochlel” said Charlie. "A l­ ways you are saying pinochle is for loafers and no-goods.” “I ain’t saying different,” said Frieda, but pinochle is your passion and I don’t want it should take m y place in your life.” Now, my uncle was a broad­ minded m an. When women began to bob their hair, his comment was, “They want to ventilate their necks, so let them.” But pinochle —well, that was another matter. Nevertheless, he knew better than to balk his wife outright and, as he explained the game to Frieda, all the while thinking bitterly of the coffeehouse session he was missing, a plot began to hatch in his head. Next evening he was home early with a bag of wool and knitting needles. “Frieda,” he said, “how you make a cable stitch?” H alf an hour later he was in the kitchen tasting the soup. “It needs a pinch paprika,” he said. “You’re giving me point-outs how to make soup?”“Who’s teaching? A woman cooks and shops, a husband should simi­lar cook and shop. How much you pay for cabbage?” “Five cents a head.”“At Fuzarri’s on Avenue A, is four cents.” * • « FRIED A DROPPED a handful of cutlery in the sink. “Fuzarri’s is six blocks away.” “So what? The exercise w ill do you good.” That Saturday night, Charlie persuaded s couple of his cronies to come over for a pinochle ses­ sion and put up with his wife's playing. At 12 o'clock Frieda said, "I eanft keep my eyes apart. \ - to Aeed f e answer that wUl cries- is ^ NOU Maybe yon could play three- handed.” "What kind pinochle player stops so early?’ said Charlie. "Deal!" And at } a.m., Frieda was dealing them as if they were bricks. Sunday, Charlie put on his best tie. “Today I go with you to see Theda Bara,” he said.“Is not necessary to go with,” said Frieda. “I got a date with the ladies.” ytw go. I s o *"W h acCharlie. Frieda, laugh at afraid Charlie would Theda’s amatory exer­cises and hum iliate her in front of her friends, pulled down the flag. “Marriage is not simple a ball and chain,” she said. “You go your way and I ’U go to Loew’s.” Charlie moved in for the kill. “No more schmoose about the shop?” T h e Fiction RANGE RIDER By Richard H. Wilkinson Corner pH U C K HANSON and Baldy ^ Davis, range riders for the Circle H Cattle outfit, were pretty disgusted the day young Johnny Howard rode into their camp and handed them a note signed by Old Man Hadley, the Circle H ’s owner. The note read in part:“This wiU introduce Johimy How­ard from New York, the son of an _____________^old friend of mine.■ He wants to beO - MinUtS a real cowboy O Fiction I ’™ sending him out to you boys. Show him the ropes. Jim .”Summoning Baldy, Chuck led the way out of earshot.“Ain’t the boss cute?” he said sarcastically. “Handin’ us this nurse m aid’s job. By Gad, one day Jim Hadley w ill go too far.” “The way I figure it,” said Baldy, “the boss is passin’ the buck. Since this fashion-plate is the son of a friend he can’t just give him the works and send him home, so he puts it up to us.” Chuck spat and scratched his head. “By gum, mebbe you’re right. Siiucks, that’s it exactly! Come on, we gotta do like he asks. We’ll make a cow hand outer this dude or die tryin’.” They returned to the camp where waited Johnny. “O. K ., feller,” Baldy said. “The boss allows we gotta make a cow hand outer yuh. Your first lesson is to get down off that flea-bitten nag you’re a-straddle and leam to stick on a real hoss.” “W ell,” said Johnny, “I was won­dering if I was going to have to ride this old crow bait.”Chuck and Baldy exchanged meaning looks. Baldy went out to the corral and returned leading a sleek-looking black that kept his ears laid back permanently just to show folks how he felt about any one who thought he could ride him. Confidently Johnny swung aboard while the two range riders climbed to the top rail ot the corral fence. Baldy was a little nervous. The black, with Johnny astride him , suddenly galvanized into ac­tion. It shot straight into the air and came down with all four legs as solid as gate posts. It sunfished and buckled and bucked. It got down and rolled over, brushed against the fence, reared on all fours, plunged and bucked some more. And presently, sweating and blowing, it stood docile and Johnny Howard was still on its back. John­ ny grinned at the open-mouthed spectators.•pH E RANGE RID ERS nibbed * their eyes. The thing that had happened was like an hallucination. They weren’t convinced. Chuck slid down off the corral.“We’ll now go into lesson number two,” he remarked, “which in­dudes buUdogging. Ever bulldog a steer, m ister?” Without waiting for the dude’s re­ply, Chuck, who had won laurels as a buUdogger, galloped after a steer, threw and roped him in rec­ord tim e. Pleased and swaggering he returned. "See how it’s done?” “Yes,” said Johnny, “I see. Mind if I try it on that big steer?” He tried it. He threw and roped the big steer in three seconds less tim e ttan- Chuck. After a roping exhibition Johnny, without being chal­ lenged, produced a six-gun and demonstrated some fast a^d accurate shooting. In fact, it was so fast and so accurate that Baldy and Chuck didn’t offer to-exploit their own prow­ess. When the shooting was over the range riders went into a huddle. Presently they returned to Johnny. Chuck stuck out his hand. “Mister, we hereby apologize. We know when we’re licked.” Johnny grinned. "W ell,” he said, “I reckon that was Uncle Jim ’s idea. At first. Then when he found out I was a circus performer he saw a chance to play a joke on you boys. I learned all my stuff in a circus. I got to be pretty good, because I liked the work. In fact, I liked it so well I decided to become a real cowboy. The truth is, I don’t know a darned thing about cow- punching and I ’d appredate it a heap if you boys would let me stay and teach me a few things.” “Teach you!” declared Chuck. “H a!

E^CREI By IN EZ GERHARD SINGER has to be something o1more than just, wonderful make her professional debut oi "The Telephone Hour.” 20-year- old Barbara Gibson did it Septem< t>er 12, and w ill be heard again on the program in February. Gladys Swarthout promptly phoned herf praise; Lily Pons, who had missed BARBARA GIBSON tiie broadcast, asked for record­ings. Like Lily, Barbara is a col­oratura soprano. Unlike her, she’s a young American girl—likes to swim and ski, makes her own clothes. W alter M agill, producer of "The Telephone Hoitt,” was at CBS the day she auditioned, heard executives raving about her voice; after hearing her sing he gave her her big chance. Columbia w ill release “A ll the King’s Men” some tim e near Christmas, to get maximum con­ sideration for Academy Award noinination. Paramount is banking on "The Heiress” : 20th Century- Fox has “Pinky” ; Eagle-Lion, “Passport to Pim lico.” Before designing “Mortimer Snerd,” CBS’ Edgar Bergen spent months in research on phrenology. He made a complete list of all physical characteristics associated with stupidity, then combined them all in “Mortimer.” The University of Dm ver has adopted Paramount’s “My Friend Irm a” as the basis of a course in film production and appreciation, n ie script, still, production and publicity pho­tos and a number of m iniatnre sets used in the picture are being used as visiial aids, and sets created by Hans Dreier and Henry Bumstead are on display in the college library. Lucille BaU is back at RKO, the first tim e in six years, to make “Easy Living,” with Victor Ma­ ture. It was at RKO that she met her husband, Desi Am az, eight years back, when they were the principals of “Too M ^ y G irls.” Florence Freeman expected to be home awaiting the stork’s ar*’ rival the last week of Septembeti and the script of “Wendy Warren and the News” was written so as to give the star a vacation. But her son didn’t know that in radio everything has to be done right oi^ tim e. He put off greeting his pari ents and two sisters until October 6. Double or Nothing “Now is as good a tim e as any,” said Teeter, senior, as he stood at a bar with his son, “to teach you a few facts of life. Remember, a m an who drinks beyond his. ca­pacity is no gentleman. To enjoy life you m ust observe the happy m edium . Have a drink occasional­ly, but never, never get drunk.” “Yes, sir,” replied his dutiful son, “ but how am I to know when I am drunk?”“W ell, you see those two naai sitting in the comer,” said his father, “if you were to see four, you’d know you were drunk.”“ I can see only one there now, father,” grinned the young m an.

M W M HUU «■ IH IH I Variety Gives Lunch Boxes Interest {See Recipes Below) Sandwich Tricks IJO M EM A K ERS who put together ^ lunch boxes daily are apt to tall into just as much of a rut about them as th e s c h o o 1 chSdren or husbands who eat them. Yet, since lunch is such a n impor­ tant m eal of the day, rules for variety must be observed c o n - sistently. E :^lore your ingenuity for sandwich combina­tions. These, after all, are the m ain­ stay of almost every lunch box. Think of other ways to make packed lunches interesting. See what inter­esting salad and fruit combinations can be tucked in sm all glass jars or cartons to add zest to the meal. Hot beverages and soups are par­ticularly interesting in cold weather. A few vmexpected surprises in the way of candid dried fruits, confec­ tions and new cookies or some rel­ ishes for the sandwiches w ill make a constant delight for the person opening the packed lunch. Plan for lunch boxes at least a week at a tim e, so that the same breads and fillings are not re­peated too often. Add special and appetizing seasonings to the sand­wich fillings; prepare foods care­ fully and neatly and see how much fun this task can become! Make quick work of the lunch box by setting a tray of necessary materials in an easy-to-reach cup­board. This should contain a knife for spreading as well as one for cutting the bread. Waxed paper and bags, cartons or covered glass cups, rubber bands, tin foil, candies, fruits, etc., should be on the tray. In the refrigerator, keep another section or tray with the fflings or spreads, salads and fruits, vege­ tables, and relishes, so that you need get out only the two trays to get together the limch. • • • He r e a r e so m e different ffl- ings and spreads which w ill add zest and appeal to any worked-ov;er collections: Egg S&lad-OUve Sandwich Filling (Makes 1 cup)6 hard-cooked eggs, chopped 2 tablespoons sliced, staffed olives, Vt cup mayonnaise VS teaspoon onion salt Dash of pepper M teaspoon dry mustard V2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauceCombine all ingredients and re- rrigerate’ until ready for use. Hdirseradish Butter Spread (Makes H cup) H cup soft hatter 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish % teaspoon salt Combine ingredients, but do not refrigerate before using. LYNN SAYS:Here are Special Tricks For Special Occasions Baked potatoes can get over­ worked, too, with the butter, salt amd pepper treatment. Try baking, then scoop out the mealy potato, seas’^ with rich cream, salt and pepper and add some sausage meat or bacon, crisply fried and crum­bled bdore returning to ^ e lls . Slivers of ham in the spaghetti bring compliments to you. A dadi of basil w ill add the gounnet flavor touch. LTNN CHAMBERS’ MENUBraised Short Ribs of Beef Carrots Lim a Beans Potatoes Chef’s Salad RoUs Beverage Pear Pie Sliced Tongue Sandwiches (Makes 6) M cnp horseradish butter spread 30 slices cooked tongue 12 slices enriched bread Spread bread with horseradish butter.

W H E N THE LUNCH BOX con- ” sists of two sandwiches, it often makes for variety to make one of meat, fish or cheese, and the other one a vegetable combination. The crispness as well as a good choice of flavors w ill make the latter interesting sandwich mate­ rial. Try some of these ideas: ■ M ix grated carrots and cabbage, in amounts desired with mayonnaise. Top with two slices of crisp bacjon.Slice cucimibers thin, dust with salt, then cover with thinly sliced radishes. Spread with mayoimaise. Grated cabbage and carrots mixed with chopped celery, mayon­naise and enough chili sauce for fla­ voring gives a crisp, colorful sand­ wich.Ijfittuce, watercress or young, ten­ der spinach leaves, or other greens, topped with thinly sliced toinatoes and mayonnaise gives a salad sandwich.Leftover peas may be mashed and' mixed with mayonnaise and peanuts for interesting variety. F ruit Sandwiches G itod % cup dates with % cup figS; &dd some chopped nuts and moisten with pineapple and lemon juice. Slice bananas thin, dip them In orange juice. Place on buttered bread, covered with lettuce, then sprinkle with a few chopped nuts. Thinly sliced apples, spread with mayonnaise mbced with chopped celery and nuts, gives a salad type sandwich.Egg SandmchesM ix hard-cooked, chopped eggs with mustard and mayonnaise. Add catsup to taste and enough chopped cucumber or cucumber picMes to make the spread crisp.C3iopped hard-cooked eggs com­bine well with chopped watercress or finely shr^ded lettuce and sal­ad dressing to moisten. Baking-powder biscuits take on novel interest when made witli orange juice replacing m ilk. Add some of the grated rind, too, If you want to sharpen the flavor. Finely chopped pecans, two table­ spoons to a cup of rice, w ill da much more than you expect to that delicacy which is already such a favorite. Fillets of fish take on festive aira when they’re served with chopped almonds cooked until just slightlj browned in salad oil. SCRIPTUBE: Isaiah 42:1-4; 50: 4.»j S2:13-53:12: Jerem iah 38:1-13.d e v o t io n a l BEADING: I P eter 1: 19^5. LoveSoAma2ing Lesson for November 13, 1949 Or. Foreman Lo n g a g o riding in his slow chariot through the southern sands, a puzded reader with Isaiah 53 in his hands asked the question other readers have asked ever since: Does the prophet speak of himself or of some other? The answer given by Philip (see Acts 8) has been the answer of the church ever since: This prophe­cy can be under­ stood only in the light from Cal­ vary’s Cross. Pliil- ip did not say, and we need not insist, that the prophet had Jesus, and Jesus only, in mind when he wrote. What we do say is that while these words m ight have described some one the prophet knew, m ight have described the whole nation of Israel, m ight even have described him self,still the words make but a poor picture of any one else, com­ pared with the picture they make of Jesus. . . . The Scarlet Thread TSAIAH 53 has been in the center ^ of the church’s thinking about Christ from the beginning. It may be said to run like a scarlet thread through the New Testament. It was in the back of the minds of Paul wid John and Peter alike. This jreat prophecy sheds a light on vhat otherwise had been a black ipaque blot—the death of Christ. What would otherwise be simply a horrible tragedy, per­ haps the greatest tra g ^ y of history, the perfect case of complete injustice, the final evidence that there is no God, in the light Isaiah 53 be­ comes a center of glory. ■ Instead of being ashamed of the cross on which Jesus died, the church sings, “In the cross of Christ I glory," . . . “Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, m y life, my all.”We believe that Christ suffered not for his own but for others’ sake. Suffering, not forced but willingly undergone, suffering not as mere pain but that others m ight be saved, suffering on behalf of others and for love of them—this is the key to the riddle of existence, this is the key to the heart of (Sod. • * • Not Christ Alone TF CHRIST’S M EN had refused to * follow where he led, if a ll Chris­ tians had been willing to let him carry, alone, the burden of the world’s sin and grief, there never would have been any Christianity— for there would never have been any Christians. Peter and James and the rest of the apostles would have refused to die for Jesus’ sake. The noble army of martyrs <would have been an ignoble arm y of cowards. No missionary ever would have left home and comforts and coun­ try; no mother would have laid down her life for her children; the unselfish service of those who have cared for the sick and the orphaned would never have been done; in­ deed, had no one ever been w illing to suffer for the benefit of others, one wonders whether the world could have even held together this long. Christ died that the world m ight live, yes; hut others also had to die to make his death avail. He died for Africa, that Africans m ight live; hut Afri­ cans died till men Uke Livings stone and Schweitzer and many a less famous m an and woman also went ont and lived there in loneliness and died in pain. Christ died for the little childrei of the poor, but until the Salvatioti Army and others like them went down into the slums and suBered there with and for them, those poor little people died without so much as dreaming that Grod m ight love them. Christ died for a ll the lepers in the world; but until a Father Da­ mien, and others no less CSirist- like, went among the outcast lepers and became outcasts themselves for the love of Christ, those lepers died in the dark. * . • “Let Him TakeHis Own Cross Daily” ' V E S , Isaiah 53 pictures the self- ^ sacrifice of our Lord, above all. But any one who has any intention of being a true servant of God must be willing to find his own life-direc- tion right here. The world does not need more pain; it does need those who w ill sirffer pain to serve others in Christ’s name. Protestant denomlaatlcHU.

M U ST e r o iE TAKE A LOOK ATYOIR INSIDES Study the above drawing for a few minutes. Notice particu­larly how the bile flows from the liver into and out of the gall-bladder and thence into the small intestine where it mixes with the partiy digested food just below the stomach. Bile is a necessary adjunct to proper digestion. Its absence from the intestines inevitably eavses putrefaction and ferr mentatioiu NATURE’S DANGER SIGNALS When your stomach, liver, and gall bladder have been upset by improper eating or drinkmg, or when they are not working well because retained and putrefying food matter in your intestines is poisoning your entire body, your bile stops flowing freely and you, sooner or later, begin to feel some of the following symp­toms:Your breath may become unpleasant (halitosis), your tongue coated, a bad taste in your mouth, your coffee (and tobacco) lose their natural flavor, your food does not agree with you; you may have head­ache, heartburn, gas and dizzy spells, you may be troubled with belching; at night the gas in your bowels may press upon your bladder making you get up frequently, thus break­ing into your sleep.In the morning you are tired instead of refreshed. Gradually your health is impaired: you have constipation, gas, putre­faction and self-poisoning (“intestinal toxaemia” or “acute gastritis” as many doo» tors call it). HOW TO GET RELIEF You can relieve this condi­tion, usually overnight, by taking Galotabs at bedtime and drinkingwater freely next day.Calotabs are a thoroughly dependable laxative designed to effectively relieve symp­toms of biliousness and acute gastritis due to constipation or faulty dig<!«tion, and to promote the flow of bile through the intestines.Calotabs are pleasant to take (sugar coated), prompt and ef­fective.

NOVEMBERS. 1949 Catting Him Down to Size A prim spinster in a western city took her visiting niece, an attractive brunette, to an art exiiibition held by a group of amateur painters. There they encountered an exhibi­tor, a loud young man, far more impressed with himself than any­one was with his painting, who wore a smock, a Parisian moustache, and a rather startling red beret.Soon he approached the spinster and her niece and said: “You must let me show you ladies around. Of course, you know who I am !” Disdainfully the spinster stared down hor nose at his flaming head­gear, and said; “A donkey with an unusually loud b’ret?” •P. S.—He Got the Job" An Irishman anxious to get on the police force hounded the poli­ticians until they decided to give him a letter to the commissioner, but the signature carried with it that popular little curve which meant to “sidetrack Pat in the usual diplomatic manner.” The commissioner, after reading the letter, told Pat that if he could answer the three following ques­tions he would appoint him: "First. How many stars are there in the heavens? Second. How many hairs are there on my head? Third. Wliat am I thinking?” Pat could not give an answer to any of them and was turned down. After wandering about town for some time an idea struck him. He would represent himself as his brother, and try again. The ques- liops were the same. “How many stars are there in the heavens?” “661,468,432,” answered Pat. “How do you know?” “I counted them, and if you don’t believe me count ’em yourself.” “How many hairs are there on my head?” Pat walked up, and pulling one hair from the commissioner’s head, answered: “One less than there w ^ a minute ago.”“What am I thinking about?” “You think you are talking to my brother, but I’m the same man back again.”He was appointed. Blight Boy The children had all been photo­graphed and the teacher was trj’- ing to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. "Just think how nice it ivill be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, ‘There’s Rose; she’s married,’ or ‘That’s Billy; he’s a sailor.’ ” A small voice at the back of the room piped up, “And there’s teach­er, she’s dead.” Sna^y Answer Kind Old Gentleman: How do you like school, my little man. Little Man: I like it closed, sir. Health Note Hospital patient: “They say walking is good for the health.” Another: “Not for my health. I walked last night when I should have run." Unfair CompetitiOD Benedict. “Not married yet?” Bachelor. “No.” “But I thought you had serious intentions in a certain direction?” “I did have, but the evening 1 went to propose to her, before I got a chance she told me she loved Browning and Kipling and Shelly. Now what chance did I have with three other men?” RED CP.OSS HAS RECORD NUMBER SE R V IN G U. S. M ILIT A R Y FO RC ES With U.

Under federal statute and regu­lations of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force, the American Red Cross furnishes volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of the armed farces and acts in matters of volun­tary relief and as a medium of com­ munication between the people of the United States and their armed forces. In the last year Red Cross staff members handled more than 102.000 welfare cases in military hospitals. More than 500 professional Red Cro.s.>: workers are stationed at 40 army hos­pitals, 26 navy hospitals, and 14 air force hospitals.

These cases run into m.nny thousand? each year.Abroad, Red Cro.ss cuvorase is al­most as complete as in tiiis country In Japan alone, 159 men and wcmen are serving occupati'jn troops at 3] militai-y installations an<l 14 liospitals ' Other parts of the Far East are equally ; well staCed.i In Europe. 24(j Red Crass workers 1 lerve military pesonnui and their de- .pendents at 51 military mstallations ;and 15 liospitals. most of them in oc­ cupied Germany. Coverage is also given in En;'land and to miscellaneous units still in France. Improved Automotive Finishes | Twenty years ago, more tiian ; SOO hours were required to com- | plete the finishing of an automobile. A modern schedule requires less than 12 hours from the time a body is delivered to the paint shop until it is ready, fully trimmed and fin­ ished, to be set in place on the chassis. Along with the rapid de­crease in the elapsed hours has come an almost proportionate in­crease in the quality of the deco­ rative and protective finish with rcisulting benefits to the consumei Eggs on Bill of Fare The consumption of eggs, one ot the oldest and most wide-spread of foods, isn’t restricted to the pro­ duct of barnyard fowl. Eggs of almost all birds and of some rep- tUes and fish are eaten or hav* been eaten at one time in somt comer of the world. Those of ducks, geese, ostriches, plovers, alliga­tors, crocodiles, turtles, pen^tat, guHs, albatrosses, and pelicans, among others, still are important diet items for many people! of today. “Eel Do” An Irish and an English couple went on a vacation together. They were most affable. In the after­noon, while the men played cards, the women would go fishing, for both of their husbands were very fond of fish. One day, Mrs. Clancy got a nibble on her line. After great difficulty she brought in her catch—a great big eel.“I say, Mrs. Clancy,” the Eng­lish woman said, “you have an eel for your husband.”"Yes,” snapped Mrs. Clancy, “and you’ve got a jerk for yours!” Matter of Choice To neutralize the odor of the stockyards district as the bus went by it, a lady passenger bought a bottle of lavender salts. She un­ corked the bottle one block away from the district and kept it under her nose until the bus pas.-ed the section.One morning as she rode along she glanced out the window and saw that it was time to uncork the bottle. She did so and held it to her■ nose- As the smell of stockyards grew stronger she held the bottle closer to her nose. When the bus reached the heart of the stockyards district a man across the aisle shoutfd:“For God’s sake, lady, close that bottle.” Build a ladder lo the boat of your dreams with V. S. Savings Bonds.

T n tsa iy D tp tn m tu “More Effective Than DDT” A new insecticide developed in Germ.any has proved effective against “a much greater number of insects than DDT,” and can often be useil in lower dosages, Dr. J. T. Thurston, research laboratories in Stannford, Conn., reports. Although the German product, which has been named parathio, is more toxic to warm-blooded animals than DDT, feeding tests conducted vrith white rats at the Hazelton ! laboratory. Palls Church, Va., have indicated that "there is little to fear from chronic toxicity,” Dr. Hurston says. S I L E R Funeral Home AND Flower Shop Phone 113 S. Main St Mocksvilie, N, C.

NOVEMBER 9.1949 Cntting Him Down to Size A prim spinster in a western city took her visiting niece, an attractive brunette, to an art exhibition held by a group of amateur painters. There they encountered an exhibi­tor, a loud young man, far more impressed with himself than any­one was with his painting, who wore a smock, a Parisian moustache, and a rather startling red beret.Soon lie approached the spinster and her niece and said: “You must let me show you ladies around. Of course, you know who I am !” ni.'dainfully the spinster stared down hor nose at his flaming head­gear, and said: “A donkey with an unusually loud b’ret?” “P. S.—He Got the Job" An Irishman anxious to get on the police force hounded the poli­ticians until they decided to give him a letter to the commissioner, but the signature carried with it that popular little curve which meant to "sidetrack Pat in the usual diplomatic manner.” The commissioner, after reading the letter, told Pat that if he could answer the three following ques­ tions he would appoint him: “First. How many stars are there in the heavens? Second. How many hairs are there on my head? Third. \\"iat am I thinking?” Pat could not give an answer to any of them and was turned down. After wandering about town for some time an idea struck him. He would represent himself as hi.' brother, and try again. The ques- liops were the same. “How many stars are there in the heavens?” “661,468,432,” answered Pat, “How do you know?” “I counted them, and if you don’t believe me count ’em yourself,” “How many hairs are there on my head?” Pat walked up, and pulling one hair from the commissioner’s head, answered: "One less than there w£(s a minute ago.”"What am I thinking about?” “You think you are talking to my brother, but I’m the same man back again.”He was appointed. Bright Boy The children had all been photo­graphed and the teacher was try­ing to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. “Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, ‘There’s Rose; she’s married,’ or ‘That’s Billy; he’s a sailor.’ ” A small voice at the back of the room piped up, "And there’s teach­ er, she’s dead.” Snappy Answer Kind Old Gentleman: How do you like school, my little man. Little Man: I like it closed, sir. Health Note Hospital patient: “They say walking is good for the health.”Another; “Not for my health. I walked last night when I should have run.” Unfair Competition Benedict. “Not married yet?” Bachelor. "No.” “But I thought you had serious intentions in a certain direction?” “I did have, but the evening I went to propose to her, before I got a chance she told me she loved Browning and Kipling and Shelly. Now what chance did I have with three other men?” RED CROSS HAS RECORD NUMBER SER V IN G U .S .M IL IT A R Y FORCES tVith U. S. military forces at five times their prewar strength, a record nmnber of American Red Cross work­ ers are serving them throughout the world. More than 2,000 Red Cross repre­ sentatives today are stationed at 1,300 military installations and 123 hospi­ tals, here and overseas. About 1,400 staff workers are serving troops in this country. The others are working at occupation and defense posts abroad Only during the peak years of World War II were a larger number on duty The duties of thp.<!e Ri'<l Cross work­ ers are as varicii as the loc:ilc in whioh they work, involving a ti'ii.'p i fwelfare services that contributi' lo mili­ tary morale. They in.n.v include tiding over a soldier’s wife with grocery and rent money nntil hei f.miily allowance check comes throu.Jrh. nr getting n wel­ fare report on an l^ !:jmo .serviceman’s mother via ivcntht-r hureaii rndio. Sometimes it menus getting word of a family emerjrcicy to a snilor with the fleet in the Jlcditerranean. Service of the Croi:s wcrkei in a military horpital may be helping a man through the dilTicuU hour when he learns that he v.ill never be well again or removing the worry that often stands in the way of hi.s recovery. Under fe<kral statute and regu­lations of tile Army, the Navy, and the Air Force, the American Red Cross furnishes volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of the armed forces and acts in matters of volun­tary relief and as a medium of com­munication between the people of “ the United States and their armed forces. In the last year Red Cross staff members handled more than 102.000 welfare cases in military hospitals. iUore than 500 professional Red Cros."! workers are stationed at 40 army hos­pitals, 26 navy hospitals, and 14 air force hospitals. For the able-bodied, too, xvliatever the problem or v.-herevor the service­man is stationed, the chances are that It All Adds Up“The music teacher asked me something to-day that I didn’t | know,” said little Freddie. i“What was that?” asked his par­ent. “He asked me how many carrots there were in a bushel.”How many carrots in a bushel?” asked the surprised parent. “What in the world can that have to do with music?”And the next day he chanced to meet the professor, and made in­quiry. The professor looked blank, then a light dawned, and he laughed heartily.“Oh, I see. 1 asked him how many beats there were in a meas­ure!” The Red Cross man at Hickam Air Force llase. Hawaii, lends a helping hand to a young marine, enroute from ' Kwajalein to his Maine home on emer- I gency leave. the Red Cross has a field worker on the spot or nearby who can help try to solve it.I In this country 361 field directors and their assistants cover 148 base I stations, 31 substations, and 923 itin­erant stations. During the last year field directors at camps handled more than 672,000 cases. Health and wel­ fare reports requested by servicemen or their families were the most com­mon type of help asked tor. i\lore than179,000 such cases were recorded. The next most frequent type of request ivas that involving leave or extension of leave. The Red Cross cannot grant leave, but military authorities depend upon the organization for reports of conditions underlyinji leave requests, riiese cnses run into many thousands each year.Abroad, Red Cj'oss cuvenige is al­most as complete as in this country In Japan alone. 159 men and wi>men are sei'ving occupation troops at JJl military installations ami 14 hospital.'!

W h a t D o e s Y o u r U t e C o u n t F o r ? Rev. W. G. Isenhour. HUh Point. N. C. R4 Every man’s life, as he journeys through this world, counts for something. We should not loose sight of this fact. The great A* postle Paul tells us, “ For none of us liveth himself, and no man disth to himself.” (Romans 14:7) There is no come back against God’s holy Word that will stand. We inust tuke it at its face value. Let us realize that we are social beings, and as we live among eacl other, labor and toil with eacl other, and travel along lie’s path way with each other, that our li are counting in some wav. who live evil, sinful, wicked livesi certainly may realize that thelrj lives are counting against, their own souls, against the lives and souls of others, against their coun. try, their nation, and the world but above all againot God and HI Gause, and against heaven, ast' grieve God bv helping keep cions souls out of heaven. Thei lives count for the devil and dai nes.s, for hell and namnation When we think of It from standpoint we realize the serion ness of giving one's life, time, taV ent and soul to the devil instead ol God. Then when we think of from 'he standpoint of godlin and righteousness, and from thai of great usefulness, and live ar. cordinglv, how wonderfall Every man whose life ronnts to the lim it of his ability, and through the gol. den opportunities which God gives- him for doing good, which he gra­ ciously accepts and puts into nse. mav well be assured of the fact that he shall not live in vain. He blesses bumanitv and honors God by his life. He shall leave an iu> fluence behind to live after him when he departs this life that shali lead others to accept Christ anrt reach heaven. This should be the supreme de.sire, aim, plan and pur­ pose of all men. Bnt. what does your life count for? This ts a great question. Think of it seri- ouslv. S im p le S o lu t io n Statesville D>iily Pre.sident Trnman at bis press conterence recently made it plain that when Congre.ss meets next January he will demand an in. crease in taxes sufficient to offset the five billion dollar deficit antici. Dated for the current fiscal year. And on questioning he told the re­ porters that if anybody can tell him any wav to avoid tax increases to moet the nation's deficit, he would like to be told. A ten.ycar old chap conld give him the correct answer. There are two ways to meet a deficit. One is by raising taxes, the other by cutting spending. Under the Pre­ sident’s prodding Congress appro ximately $40 billions, and if Con­ gress had given Mr. Trnma| all be asked for'this deficit wonld be sev. en billions instaad of five. A bov with a dime to spend knows he can’t have an ice cream cone and go to the movies too, so if he wants to .see tke show he’ll forget the cone.

Daily treatments are given in a specially-built underground build­ing in the medical center district. Only a limited number of patients will be treated for a time, while other research studies are con­ tinued. A team oi radiologists, physieistt, and technicians have pioneered in the medical use of the betatron for some tim e . The instnunent, science's newest source of high energy x-rays and electrons, was invented by Prof. Donald W. Kerst of the university’s physics depart­ment at Champaign-Urbana. Application of betatron x-rays for treatment of cancer is super­vised by Dr. Roger A. Harvey and members of the staff of the depart­ ment of radiology at the univer­sity's college of medicine. The beta­tron is hoped to be of definite ad­ vantage in treating deep cancer* and those which are inoperable bjr location. X-rays now used in hospitals for lating deep cancers are of 200,- to two million volts ener^. ests have shown that 22-million lit x-rays not only have great gy, but also will have the medi- advantage of concenlratin.s lore effect inside the subject ather than on the surface. Iiree Life-Saving Aids For Sick Dogs Outlined Three new ways to help critically sick dogs live longer and better lives were described by nationally known veterinarians recently.Dr. Carl F. Schlotthauer, staff veterinarian at the Mayo foundar tion in Rochester, Minn., told of a new surgical method for removing heartworms from dogs. The opera­tion is performed under anesthesia on the right ventricle of the heart, and patients “get along very well afterward,” he said.Dr. Myron Thom, of Pasadena, Calif., said that experience gamed in treating cancer human beings is being applied directly in dogs. “We have found that x-ray therapy Only an embittered and- vengefflBis indicated in at least 50 per cent of mind would have thought up an|^/xhe cancer cases in pet animals,"*u=__ ou------- / o r Thom reported. Dr. Lloyd C. Moss, member of the veterinary medical faculty at Colorado A & M college, declared that special feeding formulas—as carefully- compounded as formulas for human babies are speeding the recovery of convalescent pets. These preparations, containing nu­trients essential to rapid repair of diseased body tissues, are designed for ease of digestion and assimila­ tion, he said. thing like that. She was just aiig^'' enough to do it. She wrapped the engagement ring very carefuiiy in wads of wadding, tucked it in the box, and addressed it lo ti.e one she had severed relations with. Right next to the addiess she pasted a label upon which was inscribed in large red letters. “Glass—Handle With Care.” Logical The' father lectured his young son on the evils of fistcuffs as a way of settling disputes. “Don’t you know tliat when you grow up you can’t use your fists to settle an argument?” the father began. “You must begin to use peaceful and amicable means of arriving at a decision. Try to rea-. son things out. Try to discover by logic and evidence which is right, and abide by the right. Remember that might does not make right; though the strong may win over the weak, that still does not prove that the weak is wrong.” “I know, dad," said the boy kick­ing at the grass. “But this waa different.” , “Different? How different? What were you and Johnny arguing about that you had to fight over it?” “Well, he said he could whip me and I said I could whip him, and there was only one way to find out which of us was right.” Many of my nephews aua jieces find that the'contents of their pay en­velopes osually zoom away with sn- personic speed—their money is jet pro- pelleil.

U S Tre a vjy Depanmem Favorite Dog Breeds About one out of every three boys in America, has a dog for a pet at some time or another. Favorite breed of dogs among boys and other dog lovers throughout the country, is the cocker spaniel, de­scribed as “a good hunter and lov­able house pet.” Other prime fa­vorites are the beagle, the collie and the boxer, a valuable watchdog which will literally "fight” to pro­tect children or property left in its care. The estimated 13,000,000 domesticated mongrel and pedi­greed dogs in this country serve humans in many ways: They save lives, guide the blind, and pull hea'vy dog sleds across the snow. They herd sheep, help the law to track down criminals, and car^ messages and first-aid supplies in wartime. Birthplaoe of GoU Scotland is generally regarded as the birthplace of golf but the as­sertion is open to some doubt, whatever the proud clansmen of the club may say. In fact it was probably a Dutchman that started the ball rolling, the Dutch word for a club being “kolf,” meaning the thing you hit the ball with and not the place where you tell how you hit it. But Scotland's claim to be the home of golf is indisputable and, second only to the Highland Fling, golf is the reigning obsession of the Celt. Hea'vier Bails Needed In 1890 the railroads carried 77 billion ton-miles of revenue freight, and by the turn of the century this had nearly doubled. In the late ’20’s nearly six times as much was car­ ried as in 1890, and in recent years, traffic has climbed to around 700 billion ton-miles or nine trnies as much as in 1890. Increasing passen­ ger traffic shice the early part of the century, heavier rolling stock, and greater speed of both passen­ger and freight trains also call for heavier rails than formerly.

The latest gold finds now re­ported to be luring Finni.sh fortune seekers from all over the couol'-v have turned up along the Lammer river, not far from the horder.s of neighboring Norway and Sweden Last year the gold cry was raispri along the birch-framed bank.* of the Ivalo in the same Finnish re­gion. And two years previously gold was discovered farther west in Norwegian Lapland. The Lapland region, stretching from Norway’s far-north coast to Russia’s White sea, is aptly named skullcap. It already Is noted as an iron and copper producer, especial­ly in the Swedish section where some of the world’s largest iron deposits are found. The Lapps are real-life counter­parts of Scandinavia’s legendary dwarfs. Of Asiatic origin, ftey us­ually are four and d half to five feet in height, stout, and with great physical strength. They make a living chiefly by fishing, hunting, and tending rein­deer. Farming in their treeless coimtry of frozen marshland and ttmdra is a meager business The reindeer to the Lapp is what the coconut palm is to the South Sea Islander—food, shelter, and clothing. Lapps eat reindeer meat and cheese: drink reindeer milk: use antlers and bone for tools, and sinews for thread. They dress in reindeer skin, and for warmth stuff their boots and gloves with grass U n c le S a m S a y s Take a good look at that plane. Dad!

In our m ail one m orning recent­ ly I found a letter from an em­ ployer in our area inform ing us of the death o f one of his workers and giving us the name and ad­ dress o f the wage earner’s widow. W e immediately got in touch with the widow who told us that her husband had two young children surviving him , and that he had worked for the s:ime company for 14 years. She was told that she and herjchildren w ould be entitled to survivors benefits, but that she must file a claim in order to re­ ceive these benefits. She was re­ ally surprised. She had never known very m uch about Social Security, and thought that it was only for old people. She was al­ so surprised that we had heard a- bout her husband’s death, and readily adm itted that she w ould never have known she could get anything if we hadn’t talked w ith her. This was another case where a special service of ai» employer paid dividends in the gratitude of a widow and children for whom Social Security payments w ill make life somewhat easier, financially, through the difficult years ahead. The employer’s notice to us that an employee had died, meant a prom pt claim for benefits. H ad he not told us, we m ight not have known o f the death, the widow would' not have know n about her Social Security rights, and at least some o f the family’s m onthly be nefits m ight have been lost. The action taken by this employer is typical of many employers who have inform ed themselves of the program and have co-operated, over and above what is required o f them, in making the law a real part o f our present day society. Everyone working under Social Security should be inform ed of his and his family’s rights under the existing law. M uch needed benefits are lost daily by workers and the survivors o f workers who do not realize that they are enti­ tled to benefits under the Old-Age and Survivors Insusance program. To employers in our area, whose co-operation has been o f such be* nefit to their employees and their families, we are gratehiL They are pla'yinga vital part in providing security for all and hence making our country a better place in which to live.

He soon made friends with some of his neighbors who tried to help him get a job. One of them took him down to the owner of a small office building to see if he could get a job as janitor. Un­fortunately he could neither read nor write. Since the job entailed keeping of records they were forced to reject his application.He didn’t let that get him down, however, and went about looking for another job. He landed in a re ^ estate office and in a few years had worked himself into a sizable fortune.An occasion arose when he need­ed a large amount of cash to swing what promised to be a profitable deal. He went to a large bank for a loan. The banker knew him and agreed to lend the money if the man would sit down and make out a note for the amount.■ The caller smiled apologetically.

Thoughts o f the latge fam ily at the Oxford Orphanage begin to turn towards the Thanksgiving season when thousands o f Masons and other friends annually give generously o f their means to the welfare o f boys and girls who need and so we I deserve them. This is of the utmost importance in these young lives.' The Oxford Oxphanage f o r three-quarters of a century has specialized in every phase of pro­ perly rearing orphaned childred. Its contribution of more than 6.000 well-equipped and worthy young men and women to good citizenship is a living testimouial to the importance and usefulness of the institution whose sole ob­ ject is to serve. The need of Orphanages today for greater suoport is pressing. They must have more money or else. You know what that means. There is no economy in neglect. W hen we do not pay from the heart, often we have t o pay “through ihe nose.” Juvenile de­ linquency is an acute problem of the times. Its prevalence is de­ plorable. The Orphanage helps materially in the solution o f this social problem by rearing and training children who otherwise w ould not have a chance. I f it did no more than this, the O r­ phanage would justify its existence. As a tax payer and public-spirited citizen you are vitally interested in it. Express your gratitude at Thanksgiving by a generous dona­ tion to the Oxford Orphanage. M r s , M a r y F o s te r Mrs. Mary P. Foster, 69, died Tuesday at her home on Mocks­ ville, Route 4.

LEWIS was so miffed J about a Washin^on Merry-Go- Eound account of his oratory at a recent closed - door session on the coal strike that he ordered his right-hand man, John Owens, to bawl out the southern coal opera­tors for allegedly leaking the story.Owens carried out his instruc­tions, waving the newspaper clip­ping at Joseph Moody, president of the southern coal producers. “We know yon leaked the story,” protested Owens. “Well, you’re talking to the wrong peo­ple. These columnists ail have their price.” Moody vigorously and correctly denied that he had been the source, but added: “Let’s be honest. You were there and so was I. Won’t you agree that the story was an honest and factual account of what hap­pened?”“But it didn’t make Mr. Lewis look very good,” growled Owens.“WeU, he didn’t look good in the meeting,” replied Moody, Battle of Admirals One of the angriest men in the battle of the admirals is the under­secretary of the navy himself, Dan Kimball.Kimball was invited to an off- the-record meeting of 60 top navy officers in Monterey, Calif., Sep­tember 21. Officially the meeting was a routine review of naval problems, b u t Kimball sensed something special was going on. For those present included Admiral Arthur Radford, lead-off man in the navy revolt, together with Vice Ad­miral Gerald F. Bogan. There­fore. Undersecretary Kimball made a brief speech, pleading with the admirals to lay their cards on the table. “11 you think we’re not get­ting a fair deal,” Kimball said, “then let’s speak up. After all, I ’m one of your own. I used to he assistant secretary of the navy for air. I know yonr proli- lems.” Kimball told the admirals that President Truman had ordered waste removed from the defense spending picture, and that the de­fense budget would have to be cut two billion dollars by 1951.“If you feel this is wrong,” Kim­ball said, "speak up. I promise you we’ll get a fair hearing. I can walk into Louis Joimson’s office any time I want and get a hearing. So now is the time to talk.”The admirals looked down their noses, gave Kimball silent treat­ment. Yet it was at this very same meeting—without telling the under­secretary of the navy—that Admiral Bogan wrote his now famous letter. And it was at this meeting also that Admiral Radford added his post­script to the letter that touched off the powder keg in Washington. News Capsules ISOLATIONIST NEVADAN-Sen.Tom Connally, Texas Democrat, rallied a group of senators the other day to vote against an amend­ment by Sen. George Malone, Ne­vada Republican .... “Let’s get out there and vote,” stirred Con­nally. “I don’t know what it’s about, but it was offered by Malone. So I’m against it.” .... Many sen­ators feel the same way. UNHAPPY HINDU—Prime Minis­ter Nehru of India is irked at the state department for the man-kill- ing tour of the U. S. A. they’ve ar­ ranged. During his 26-day stay he will see virtually nothing but ban­quet tables, formal receptions and luncheons. What he really wanted was a chance to get acquainted with the plain people of the United States so he could decide how India should line up in the future. But the -state department disregarded this and arranged for 30 formal par­ties during the 26 days.PEPDING SENATOES-Washing- ton’s bumptious Senator Cain, a Republican, tried to make political capital on the senate floor over a $238 check paid by a group of uni­versities to Senator Magnuson, a Democrat, also from Washington. The money covered Magnuson’s travel expenses to New Orleans for a speaking engagement spon­sored by the universities. What Senator Cain didn’t mention is that he, too, has kept a lew speaking engage­ments—has flown to Honolulu to take part in the town meet­ing of the air; to Walla Walla, Wash., to speak locally; and to Boston to speak before the apartment house owners. In each case, Cain’s expenses were paid in full by the sponsoring organizations. Shipping Bonanza Capitol newsmen were skeptical when Rep. Porter Hardy of Virginia announced there would be a com­plete and forthright probe of the maritime commission a n d its squandering of taxpayer’s money on ship contracts. So many congressional commit­tees have been spreading the white­wash of late that newsmen doubted Hardy would make good his prom­ise—especially since he hails from the big maritime area around Nor­folk. -WHKLY NEWS 4N/11.VS/S- Trimai Renews Pledge of Support Of ‘Safe Plan’ for Atomic Curbs; Attlee Charts British Saving Plan (EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinions are expressed In tliese eolnmns, tliey are Ulose of Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of tbls newspaper.) lUAEES BID FOB STEEL PEACE . . . Cyrus Ching (facing camera) director of the U. S. mediation service, is surrounded by newsmen as he arrived from Washington to make another effort for settlement of the paralyzing steel strike. These conferences were described as “exploratory,” although Ching later reported that the situation was “not hopeless.” TRUMAN: Supports A-Curbs “To assure that atomic energy will be devoted to man’s welfare and not to liis destruction is a con­tinuing challenge to all nations and all peoples,” In those words, President Tru­man pledged his support to any safe and effective plans that would outlaw the atomic bomb.THE PRESIDENT spoke at a ceremony in which the United Na­tions laid the cornerstone for its permanent headquarters in New York city. Mr. Truman called the corner­stone rites “an act of faith — our unshakable faith that the United Nations will succeed.” The President declared that con­trol of weapons is essential to a peaceful world and said that “Ever since the first atomic bomb was developed, a major objective of U. S. policy has been a system of international control of atomic energy that would assure effective prohibition of atomic weapons . , . and at the same time would pro­mote the peaceful use of atomic energy by all nations.”HE ENDORSED anew the Ber­nard Baruch control plan which was rejected by Russia. The chief point of disagreement between western powers and Rus­sia on atomic energy control has been insistence by the West on an effective means of inspection to see that nations would keep their pledges to outlaw the bombs. Rus­sia wouldn’t hold still for'that pro­posal. WORLD FRONT: Spotty Picture The world picture was spotty as international developments became increasingly confusted. Washing­ton development intensified the tension between the U. S. and Rus­sia in the cold war, British and U. S. leaders were beginning to split on the issue of recognizing the Chinese Red conquering govern­ment, France was hard-pressed to organize its government, a Greco- Tito pact appeared possible and the U. S. closed its consulate at Da­rien. A look at the overall situation showed that in. WASHINGTON - T he United •States in a new crackdown on Rus­sia had obtained an indictment against Amtorg, Russian purchas­ ing agency in the U. S., and six of its officers on charges of failing to register as agents of a foreign power. The maximum penalty for violation of that law wo^d be $10,- 000 fine and five years imprison­ment. The firm itself was liable to a $10,000 fine. Shortly after U. S. attorney general McGrath an­nounced return of the indictment, five of the Russians were arrested by FBI agents in New York. As was expected, Soviet officials vigorously protested the arrests. There had been repeated allega­tions in congress that Amtorg acts as an espionage agent. Said assis­tant U. S. attorney Edward R. Rig- ney: “Diplomatic passports don’t constitute a defense for the crime charged here.” The indictments did not charge Amtorg with serving as an espionage agency for the Soviets. LONDON — There was a de­veloping split between Great Brit­ain and the United States on the issue of recognition of the Com­munist regime in China. Indications were that London would establish full diplomatic relations soon. However, this appeared contingent on whether the Communists would Norway Reports Progress in Atomic-Energy Study Norway was getting along rather well with atomic research, accord­ing to a report by the council for scientific research. The report said drilling for uranium in Setesdal valley had been successful, and underground operations had started with a crew of 30. The country’s first atomic pile is being built near Oslo, and three universities have received equip­ment for atomic research. ENGLAND: More Austerity In a drastic effort to rescue Great Britain from its financial morass, Prime Minister Clement Attlee charted an economic course designed to save 784 million dol­ lars amiually. He also ordered a cut of 400 million dollars in dollar imports. THUS did the prime minister plot a course of more austerity for the British people. The savings effected, or hoped to be effected, would result from lop­ping off spending for national de­ fense, capital investments, public relations and food subsidies. Attlee presented a quick, graphic interpretation of what was pro­posed. “We must reduce expendi­ture and increase production,” he told the house of commons. But it wasn’t as simple as the formula would seem to make it. To the already austerity-weary Britons it meant that many of the goods for which they now have to stand in line for hours wotUd be even more scarce. Gasoline and some food items would cost more. They would have to pay a 14-cent fee for medicines they were getting free under the national health pro­gram. leave the British alone at Hong Kong and promise to respect their rights there. The difference on opin­ion between the U.S. and Britain on the subject of recognition was not considered as a particularly se­rious one. It was regarded here as an inevitable reflection of their dif­fering national interests. While the U.S. has been withdrawing from China, the British are still “in” and hope to remain so for obvious economic and financial reasons. DARIEN — Harassment by Chi­nese Communists had forced clos­ ing of the U.S. consulate there. The American consul and vice-consul from this Russian-controlled city moved to Seoul. The U.S. attaches who had spent 15 months here said Communist policies prevented their relief at the end of a scheduled eight-month tour of duty. At a news conference, the reported Commu nist obstacles had limited their movements severely. Vice-consul Culver Gleysteen said he was once held four hours by Chinese Com­munist police and Soviet soldiers who accused him of “signaling out to sea” with the lights of his jeep. HAWAII — The prolonged strike of dock workers at five of Hawaii’s six ports was over at last. The CIO international longshoremen’s and warehousemen’s union ordered its 2,000 striking stevedores to go back to their jobs The men struck May 1, demanding a raise of 32 cents in their $1.40 hourly wage. The strike technically ended October 6, but continued, pending settlement of side issues involving working condi­tions, pay and other issues in outer- island ports. GOLD RUSH Pea-Size Nuggets Cast New Yukon Spell The spell of the Yukon was reach­ing out again to heat the blood of men who seek quick fortunes in gold. Reports of nuggets “the size of peas” being found near Fish- wheel in Alaska had been flashed throughout the territory and a new gold rush was on. Grizzled sour­doughs, tmtried tenderfeet vied with each other to stake claims for the precious metal. - Planes loaded with excited men, and mining equipment and husky dog teams were pushing into the area in a race with the arctic winter wMch would paralyze all mining efiorts. The village of Fishwheel was mushrooming overnight like the famed cities of the fabulous Yukon of the earlier gold rush days. The lure was like a magnet, reach­ing out with impelling force. FARM FAIR: World's Biggest Something of interest to every agriculturist, from the man who wants to grow bigger potatoes to the high-booted cowboy with the prize-winning Hereford, is on the agenda of the Canadian Royal Win­ter Fair slated for Toronto’s coli­seum November 15 to November 23, omitting Sunday. IN ADDITION there will be a complete display of the latest wrinkles in farm machinery and aids to more profitable operation.The Royal Winter Fair has long been recognized as the world’s la r g e s t agricultural exhibition staged under one roof. Sponsored by Canadian federal, grain and ag- riculttiral associations, the compe­titions carry with them many world championship awards. FOR THE FIRST TIME in 20 years, competition in the seed and grain divisions will be thrown open to any grower in the world an<l thus will award the winner world championship honors. Some 10,000 prize ribbons together with thou­sands of dollars in monetary awards will be handed out. Farm home displays, washing machines and a host of things in­teresting to women are always fea­tures of (Canada’s top winter fair. GEN. VAUGHAN: 'Shock Absorber' It was interesting to note the multiple interpretations Maj. Gen. Harry Vaughan, White House aide, was applying to his position of en­tertainer, aide and personal confi­dant of President Harry Truman. AT A DINNER given by feUow Democrats in Washington, Gen. Vaughan, linked with the capital’s “5 per centers” and mysterioira John Maragon, one-time White House hanger-on, portrayed him­self in a new light. He is, he said, a “shock ab­sorber,” as it were, as well as a “part of the scenery” at the White House.“IT IS NOT pleasant furnishing the throat,” he went on, “but I might as well earn my pay by be- rn a shock absorber . . . at the White House.” “I am an authority on investiga­tions,” he said. “We’ve had so many investigations in the last year or so that have laid an egg.”He pointed out that when admin­istration critics complain about “trivial things,” it’s a healthy sign that “there is not a great deal that they can complain about." THE “TRIVIAL THINGS” to which the general referred were charges that certain Washington figures with "influence” could swing government contracts and favors where they wished for a “5 per cent” fee, gifts of deep freezers to members of Washing­ton’s official family. The general’s personal popular­ity continued unimpaired. He and Mrs. Vaughan were elected hon­orary vice-presidents of the Dis­trict of Columbia Democratic club. LEOPOLD: No Poll, Please! Former Belgian premier Paul- Henri Spaak wanted none of a pro­posed poll to determine if King Leopold should return to the throne. SUCH AN ACTION might "de­stroy Belgium” Spaak declared in a radio address in Brussels. Premier Gaston Eyskens, a pro- Leopold Social Christian, iias pro­posed a country-wide poll on whether Belgians want Leopold back from his exile in Switzer­land.“I approve the prime minister’s desire to solve the royal question,” Spaak said, “but I do blame him, condemn him for trying to solve the royal question this way." Gets Navy Post Edward E. Wilcox, former P b IIa d e ip iiia newspaperman, has been named special assist­ant to the undersecretary of the navy. He succeeds Cedric Worth, self-styled author of th e “anonymous” document which touched off the B-36 probe. ISOLATION: A 'Big Peril' In Chicago, Sen. Scott Lucas (D., ni.) was sharply critical of a num­ber of colleagues whom he called 'an isolationist group of senators tar more dangerous to the security of our democracy than the Com­munists and fellow travelers under orders of Stalin.” Lucas, majority leader in the U. S. senate did not name the senators at whom he hurled the criticism, but he identi­fied them as opponents. ^ . Sunday i By DR. KENNETH SCRIPTURE; Isaiah 55;DEVOTIONAL READING: Romans 10:1.13. God's Open House Lesson for November 20, 1949 IT IS A WARM chapter, this 55th of Isaiah. Some false ideas about God melt away fast when they are brought close to it. Let us take a look at some of these notions and see how they wilt in the light of God’s w o rd . Sometimes these Hotions are h e ld ,s in c e r e ly , scaftetimes they are mere excuses to keep from facing God. One of these mistaken notions is the idea that God has two lists; one is a list of people •>'• Foreman on whom he in­tends to have mercy, and will save; the other list being a private one, of those on whom he intends to have no mercy and will not save. If your name is on the first list, fine; but if it is on the second list, you are in a hopeless fix; for it God is not going to help you, who can? This is a terribly wrong no­tion, It confuses the true God witb some sort of sultan in the sky who has a “social register” of persons lie win admit to his palace. "Use this invitation as your card of admittance.” No, it is not at aU like that. If you really think that admission to heaven is by card only, then cut out Isaiah 55 and present it at the gate. Cut out any verse in ttie Bible that says “Whosoever,”— John 3:16 for example—and pre­sent that. God keeps open house, he does not employ butlers or strong-arm men to keep out the crowds, he wants all to come who will. Do you want God? Then come. Are you thirsty for the living water? ’Then drink. It is as simple as that.• * • No W aiting •THERE IS ANOTHER notion tha\ * keeps people away from God. It is a kind of shyness. It is the feel­ing that maybe it isn’t any use hunting for God. It is the feeling a boy has when he is lost in the woods and has about made up his mind that there is no use in walking any more, he will just sit -dovm and wait till somebody finds him. If is the feeling that God may be sensitive and doesn’t want people coming bothering him. It is the notion that if God wants me, he will knock me down and drag me where he wants me to be. A man with a notion like that, of course, isn’t likely to meet with God. He spends his life paying God no attention whatever, not even think­ing about him, perhaps. He may even go as far as he can from the Father’s house, believing that God’s long arm, like the long arm of the F.B.I. or the Mounties, will reach after him and get him in case God ever wants him.Now this is a ridiculous idea and a bad one too. Isaiah would not think it true for a minute. “Seek ye the Lord,” he says. “Call on God . . . return to the Lord.” “Incline your ear and come!” This means you—if you will. But it you won’t, God will not force you. He forces no man. He wants willing obed­ience, loving service, not slavery. God will have no chain on you but the chain of love. God keeps an open house, not a prison farm.* « * No House O f Horrors ANOTHER WRONG NOTION, for which, alas, many a church member is partly responsible, is the notion that the nearer we get to God, the gloomier we shall be.All the talk about sacrifice and suffering for others, such as we were thinking of last week, all the emphasis in the church on the death of Christ, all the solemnity of most church services, make people think: “God may be all right for solemn people, but not for me; I like life with a smile.” Now that is just another mis­taken notion. The very persons who know the deeper meanings of sacrifice are just the persons who don’t like to ose that word about themselves. In fact, it could be said that in general it is only Christians who have a right to be gay. Jesus him­self, on the same night in which he was betrayed, spoke to his friends about sharing his joy to the fuU.Isaiah 55 is certainly no invitation to gloom. Joy, peace, the clapping of hands are there. But how do we know Isaiah was right? There is only one way. and that is not to sit arguing about it. You never know what a party is like by staying at home.I3o you really want to find .out what goes on there? Don’t be con­ tent to hear others say, “It’s won­derful!” God’s door stands open.

Its of no great importance, and I won’t get mad if the editor decides to file it in the wastebasket, and in its place print some big story about Marshal Tito or Rita Hayworth’s baby.To begm with, this story concerns itself with a church, and a lot of bright people will teU you a church is no longer of any importance in this test-tube and Bunsen-burner age. To make matters worse, the church is a Broolciyn^ and — well, I guess you’ve heard plenty of jokes about how un­important Brooklyn is. . . . One day last summer while driv­ing past a church on St. Felix street in Brooklyn, I heard a set of chimes that did nice things to my e a rs . They w e re u n u s u a l ly good chimes, a n d fig­ured to have cost a lot of money. Naturally, I won­dered how they hap­pened to be in the belfry of a modest church in a modest neighborhood.BiUy Bose “W h a t ’ s th e church with the chimes?” I asked a newsstand proprietor. “Hanson Place Central Church,” he said. “It’s Methodist.” “Have they had those chimes long?”“No,” said the newsie. “I think they put them in about a year ago.” The next day I did some tele- ^honing, and I liked what I found out. WHEN REV. John Emerson Zeit- er, pastor of the church, heard about a new ^ e of electrically-con- trolled chimes called CariUonic bells, he told his congregation about them and said it would be a nice thing for the neighborhood if people go­ing to work in the morning and coming home at night could hear Qiose beautiful chimes. He told his flock the bells cost a lot of money, and suggested they contribute a little something from time to time. Maybe in a year or so, the church could afford the bells. Next day a member of his parish phoned. “I’ve been discussing the bells with my business partner,” said the parishioner, “and we’d each like to donate a third of the cost. But there’s a hitch.” "What is it?” asked the Rever­end. "WeU, my partner is Jewish!’ said the bminessmao, "and we were wondering if that would make any difference."Reverend Zeiter said he didn’t think it would make any differ- ence at all. “We think,” continued the busi­nessman, “that it would be a good idea to find a Catholic to put up the other tliird. After all, people of aU faiths are going to enjoy these bells.”• « • THE NEXT DAT a CathoUc in the neighborhood offered to put up the remaining third, and the CariUonic bells were ordered. At the dedica­tion ceremoiqr a couple of months later, a plaque was put up on the waU of this Methodist church, and inscribed on it were the names of the Catholic, the Protestant and the Jew. . . . And that’s all there is to this story—this very, very little story. Do I think fliis one set of electrical­ly-controlled beUs is going to elimi­nate religious bigotry in Brooklyn? Of course not. Do I think the people in Flatbush who hear the chimes J —I r .1___£i D A W N UT of the dark, the light!

The F i c t i o n ^ FORTUNE SMILES By Richard H. Wilkinson Corner CEHjEB w a re was a young man who quarried with his father, and was turned away from his boyhood home. Caleb always said later that he went away of his own accord.Fortune smiled on Caleb. Five years later he found himself promi- nent in the af- I fairs of the small 3-Minute city in which he Eii>tinn h a d chosen to Fiction Moreover, -----------^he was rich. It was then that Caleb de­cided to go home. As the train began to climb into the fresh, clean air of the mountain coun­try, the tired look abont his eyes vanished. Color appeared in his cheeks. It thrilled him now to know that he was in a position to provide his father with all the comforts of old age. He swung from the train at the tiny depot. Everything was the same; the cracker-box station, the general store, the postoffice and the few small dwelling houses. A man with side whiskers and spectacles peered at him from the doorway of the depot.“HeUo, Banty. Where’s your rig?” The man stepped through the door. “Caleb Warel Know yuh any­where! How be yvdi, Caleb?” “Fine, Banty. And you?” “Tol’able, Caleb. Just tol’able. Figure on goin’ out to the farm? Drive you out if you say so.” “Figured you would.” He climbed into Banty’s ancient rig, glad of this opportunity to ride with the station master and leam the news.“Looks like you done quite well in the city,” Banty suggested cau­tiously. “Not bad,” Caleb agreed. And he knew that feeling of triumph and victory at iiis success. He thought “Caleb Ware! Know jmh any­where! How be yuh, Caleb?” of his father’s surprise and disap­pointment. It would be a bitter pill for old man Ware to swallow. "How are thmgs at the farm, Banty? How’s dad?”"Your dad’s ailin’,” said Banty. “He ain’t been right since you left five years ago.”“Me left him? Why he turned me out!”"Don’t make no difference. Yojj shouldn’t a done it. He needed you at the farm, Hie place is plumb run down, and your dad ain’t well.” Caleb feu suddenly that Banty was condemning him, that everyone in the village had condemned him. “Dad isn’t really bad, is he, too sick to work?” he asked.“He is now. A month ago he was tocik bad. Ain’t worked since." Banty spat and glanced at him side­ways. "He won’t be glad to See you, son, not like that. He’s got too much pride." CALEB XINDERSTOOD. He knew that his father would never take succor from a son who had deserted him, would never admit he needed the help of a traitor. He’d rather die starving than that. Banty might have said more, but Caleb suddenly leaped from the slow moving buggy. “You just keep on going, Banty, and forget you ever saw me. Dad need never know but what I come home because I had to.”Caleb plunged into the woods be­ side the road and discarded his coat and imdid his necktie. He walked for some distance through the heavy growth beside the hi^- way. Branches tore at his fine linen and ripped great gashes. Briars clutched at his trousers and tore holes in them. Thns Caleb came home. Sight of the farm gave him a pang. The house and grounds were run down and in need of repair.A cot had been placed on flie ' rear porch and on this cot Caleb saw the thin, g a ^ figure of Us father. He came and stood over Oie figure and looked down at It and smiled. “HeHo, Father,” he said. “It’s Caleb. I’ve come home to ask your forgiveness and to be taken in.” His voice was humble. Old man Ware opened his eyes and looked up at his son, and there was a quick happiness in his ex­pression. His dimming vision saw the tousled, ragged farm boy who had stalked so proudly away five years before. “I knew you’d come back, Caleb. I knew you’d come to your old father for help sooner or later. And —and I’m glad.” RD PUZILE ACROSSl.F«U I«S. Bulk9. Wavy (Her.)10. Verbal11. Travels back and forth12. Of the cheek14. Close to15. Devoured17. Biblical name18. Polish 20. Crowded 23. Bird 25.

Olivia de Havilland and Ralph Richardson, seen as -n awkward, shy, unattractive daugh­ter and her bully of a father, giv« OLTVIA DE HATILLAND superb performances. As a suitor anxious to marry the girl for her money, Montgomery Clift is less satisfactory. Miriam Hoplcins is ex­cellent as the girl’s aunt; in fact, the entire supporting cast deserves praise. “The Heiress” is even better as a picture than it was as a suc­cessful play—and William Wyler is largely responsible. The Farfa concentration camp sequences of "Stromboli,” which Producer-Director Rossellini had been holding personally, have fi­nally been turned over to the Tech- nostampa Laboratory in Rome. This makes the entire footage of the fihn avaUable to RKO^so it won’t be too long now till we see Ingrid Bergman in what she says will be her last picture. After playing golf left-handed for 10 years and reaching a two handi­cap, Ken Carson, of the Garry Moore show, has turned right- handed, on the advice of Pro Har­ry Cooper. Cooper says Ben Hogan did it—why not Carson? Wearing a black wig, Bette Davis sneers and snarls her way through “Beyond the For­est,” the rather tiresome story of a small-town girl who was willing to commit murder to get to Chicago. Miss Davis likes to play wicked women, bnt she should not have chosen this one. Joseph Cotton and David Brian do what they can to improve matters, bnt the picture is not good. Rudd Weatherwax, owner and trainer of Lassie, has had to hire a new secretary just to handle tiie fan m ail sent to the collie by fans of her NBC Saturday radio series. Much of it comes from children, and it comes by the bushel. Ed “Archie” Gardner is a dis­ appointment to his son, Ed, Jr. llie five-year-old, who has the Iiandsomest cowboy outfit in New York’s Central Park, wishes his father had become somebody dash­ing, like the Lone Ranger. Both Mike Romanoff and his famous Beverly HiUs restaurant have been signed for top roles in “A Lovely Place,” which Humph­rey Bogart will make for Columbia. Tliis is the first time the well known tavern has been shown in a picture in great detail. Since much of the film’s action takes place there it was decided to use the restaurant itself rather than build a replica.

NOVEMBER 16. 1949 I.:: S lA J l Not That Important A very small boy had declined prunes so vociferously as to raise tiie whole matter to one of discip­line rather than a pardonable foible. His mother told him that God would probably be displeased at his disobedience. Later in the evening there came a heavy thunderstorm, ani? mother grasped this opportunity of going upstairs to heal the breach. She found the tiny mutineer standing in front of .the window in an attitude of disgust.“Huh!” he said defiantly, as a terrific peal of thunder shook the house, “all this fuss about six prunes.” Knew What He Wanted Billy had been pestering his fath­er for weeks on end to buy him a puppy. “You can’t have one just now,” his father repeated for weeks on end. “You know very well that you soon will have a little baby brother or sister to play with so please stop asking for a dog.”About a week later his father to'd Billy that he had a brother and asked him if he would like to see him. Billy reluctantly agreed to go up to the bedroom to see his new playmate. He gazed scornfully at the red-faced, squawking infant and turned to his father.“Daddy,” he said, "1 want a puppy.” SURPRISE! A fat lady stepped on the scales. They were ont of order and an indicator stopped at 7S ponods.An inebriated gent watched her Intently. “My gosh,” he m am led, “she’s hollow!” Keason linougn How is it we didn’t hear the gun at the start of the swimming race? The starter used a water pistol. Advice You may go for a spin in his auto,Walk home if he gets your goat. But unless you can swim,Don’t go with himFor a ride in his motor boat. P.E D c e o s s CHAPTERS MEET VARIED NEEDS OF SERVICEMEN The Red Cross Home Service work­er looked up from her desk to find an old man holding a telegram and twenty-five dollars. “My boy wants to come borne, but he hasn’t got the money for such an expensive trip,” the old gentleman said. "He has just returned from 2 years overseas service and is getting a leave before reassignment. His mother has been very sick and I think he might help her to get well. We are living on our family allowance and whatever money my son can send, but I’ve scraped together this $25. Can you give me enough more to bring him home?” After verifying the facts, the Home Service worker seiU a teleg;ram to the Red Cross field director at the hoy’s camp, telling of the father’s request and of the offei of the twenty five iluilars he could so ill alTord. The fol­lowing day she rec'jived an answering wire from the field <lii-ector: Under federal staiufe and rr;;u- Istians of the Amy. Navy, and the Air Force. t'.'.e Ainerican Red Cross furnishc:: roluntcer aid to the sick and wouried of the armed forces and art'', ia matters of volun­tary relief an:l a.s a medium of cum- munication between the people of the United States and their armed forces. "Return tv.enty-five dollare to fath­ er. Amiy Ki-antinK emergency leave and arranjring for air transportation bome. \Vo are ariansinR for mainte­ nance and return transportation.”It was only one item in a busy worker’s day, but to two old people and a long-absent son it meant a lotOften the need is not for financial aid but for help with the unexpected problems that may hit any family and are more acute when the head of the family is thousands of miles away.It was so with an Air Force serg­eant who reenlisted after overseas combat sovice. He left his wife and children in Kentucky on a farm with his mother-in-law. He also left 25 head of cattle, through which the family income would be supplemented. He thought his family secure for the 3 years of his new enlistment. Then disaster struck. The wife’s mother necame ill and was compelled to sell the farm and go to live with' a distant i sister. This left the sergeant’s family ' without housing, and 25 head of cattle without care. The Red Cross helped the soldiei get emergency leave, helped him find suitable living quarters for his wife and arranged tor quick sale of his livestock. The sergeant then returned to duty, content in the knowledge that his wife and two small children were provided for. Often, the need for help extends heyond the time a man is separated , from the service. If, as a veteran the 'man and his family continue to need laid, the chapter is ready to help.That is Red Cross Home Service—a triend and counselor to the perplexed, to those in need, to men and women with problems. The sign read: “Dinner, 50 cents. With chicken, 75 cents.”“Let’s go in here, Mabel,” said he to the girl friend. “They made a reduction for two.” Bird Dog? Did you hear about the farm­er who crossed a dog with a chicken trying to get pooched eggs? Local Notes Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Nebs have just returned from New York, where the Missus got her face and Harrison his watch lifted, both on Broadway. Back to This Again" I don’t believe in Darwin’s theory of evolution,” remarked the professor.“No,” chuckled the cynic, “It’s more probable that some woman made the first monkey out of man!” No Flowers A motorist on a muddy road pulled up alongside a fellow traveler who was digging his car out.“Stuck in the mud?”“No, my engine died here and I’m digging a grave to bury it.” Nice Another nice thmg about silence is that it can't be repeated. How True! A tip is a small sum of money you give to somebody because you’re afraid he won’t like not be­ing f^id (or something you haven’t ^ked him to do. Unde Sara Says “In Other Words . . /• Hollywood’s leading dialectician pulled a couple of beauts recently. He warned a group of university professors, “Beware, gentlemen! That atom bomb is dynamite!” Of a temperamental anderlin? he com­plained, “I can’t make that fellow out. One day he’s wonderful to work with. The next he goes around snarling, and won't cooperate with anybody. He’s a regular Jack and Jill!” How About Crying? Love is the most fun one can have without laughing.

Spanish Dagger The Spanish dagger (yucca earn* erosana) is a branched yucca, with thick, long, broad leaves, up to three feet in length, and it attains a height of 10 to 15 feet or more. Big Bend national park -is one of the very few areas in the United States in which it can be found. There it is seen in extraordinary abundance in Dagger Flat, an area some two miles in width by 10 in length, in the northeastern part of the park. Britain’s Roads The Ronjans gave Britain her■ first roads and they built them just about as straight as nature would allow. But it was the first and last attempt to emulate crow-flight. In the centuries since, the British have allowed their roads to flow like rivers, following the charming line of least resistance. Even the modern concrete arteries perform graceful loops round sleepy vil­lages, allowing them to snooze un­disturbed. SILER Funeral Home AND Flower Shop Phone 113 S. Main St Mocksville, N . C.

Lost Opportunity Rev. W. E. Iienhonr. Hitfh Point, N. C. R4 AmoDR different thinKS that peo­ ple lose as they co through life oftentimes is that of opportunities- We realize that an opportunity that is good and worth while, if unaccepted is soon lost, never to return. We are now thinking of the great and .precious opportunities people have all about us of attend­ ing church and Sunday school, and of getting to God, which arc being neglected, i t is alarming how many people all over the land never enter a church door. Even parents neglect the church and f il to take their children. So many boys and girls are growing up in our midst without Christ, whose parents are likewise sinnners, and seem to care nothing for the church and the salvation of their souls. It is in. deed pathetic. W hat does the fu­ ture hold for parents and children who never go to church, and who care nothing about the Christian religion? Surely the consequet'ces will be fearful. O that such op. portunities would be appreciated and accepted: Then we believe the church is losing precious and priceless oo- portunities of going out and bring­ ing in many who are too careless about themselves and their fami- es. If many of our churches would become deeply Intererted in the lost about us as they should, and would go forth pravlng and working for such souls, and would get them into Sunday school, and to ehurch, and would seek to iead theni to Christ, we do uot doubt but that thousands could be won who arc on the broad road hellward^ No doubt the church is largely to blame for so much non-church at tendance, and for so many lost souls. Many of our church me - bers never go out to invite thosf to church who doa’t attend, never put fottb an effort to wSi them to Christ. What wil the Master say to those who never seek to wi 1 souls, even though thev profess to be Christian, go out and iuvite your neighbor to church who never attends.

CottonReferendum Ail cotton growers shunld be scrlonsly sfndying t h e present situation with reference to cotton, due to the fact that the Secretary of Agricnlture has proclaimod ana tional marketing quota fo r the 1950 crop, based on an allotment of twenty-one million acres and a quota of '1,733.750 hales In this connection, a national referendum is to be held December 15, at which time farmers will have an opportunity to vote either for or against the proposed marketing quota. The qnota will remain ih effect if it is approved by at least two ibiids ot the national quota refel rendum However’ if more than one-third of the farmers voting disapprove, the marketing quota will be withdrawn. Onlv farmers who produ.ed cotton in 1948 are eligible to vote in the referendum On the ba^is of the latest avail. aWe statistics ot the Federal gov­ ernment. the "total supply’ of cotton for the current masketing year is 20,656 000 running tiales. Wet, Anyway There is a town in Arizona—that is, they call it a town. Back in the hills are the mines and the miners’ shacks, and, where the railroad stops, there is one building—a com­bined general store and lunch room.A stranger, hiking through the Arizona hills, came to this restau- rant-store, and decided to have some lunch. After the waitress had served him, she regarded him fa­vorably from the door, wondering how ahe coul'd start a conversation, for it was a lonely place.At last she spoke, looldng through the door. “It looks like rain,” she voltmteered.He sniffed once at the steaming cup. “Yes,” he said, “it does; but it smells like coffee." DANGEBODS READ THE AD$ Along With the News Tlie sales manager and the adver­tising manager were arguing about which of their departments was the most important to the company. “Can j'ou show me,” challensnd the sales chief, “a single order lhat advertising ever put on the boo:;.=i?” "I think I can," reiiJit d the ad­vertising manager, “but lirsi un- swer this question. C?n .'-ou sl'.ow me a single load of h.-3y that the sun ever put in a bam?” HCERY IT! The orator was taking an uncon­scionably long time for his speech. He bellowed forth over his hear­ers’ weary heads:“I am speaking for the benefit of posterity.”A heckler promptly shouted: “Yes, and if you don’t be quick about it, they’ll be along to hear you!” She Couii! Do ThatAmong a young girl’s many ad­mirers was an extremely fat man. Even though he didn’t have a chance he persisted in his atten­tions. One evening he proposed to the girl of his dreams as she sat on the living room sofa. He became so wrought up, that he dropped to his knees and 'pleaded for a “yes” to his proposal of marriage. When she made it crystal clear that she was among those who didn’t Idve a fat man he sighed heavily and dropped his head sor­rowfully.“Well, at least,” he said, holding his hand out to her. “help me get up again.” M S. Rai!roa:l$’ Proirress Helped by Standard Gauge Development of American rail- road.s into the world’s greatest transport .system would not have been po.'.sible witliout standardiza­tion of railroad gauges. Where uniformity was achieved, the interchange of traffic from one line to another and through serv­ices became possible. In early rail­road history, almost every other road had a different gauge, causing freight and passengers to be shifted from one train to artother at con­necting points. When the industry was in its in­fancy, each new road set its own gauge, probably not foreseeing the congested rail system of today. As late as 1871, there were more than 23 different gauges used throughoul the country,, ranging from three feet to six feet. In the same decade, numerous narrow-gauge railroad.s were built, causing a “narrow gauge fever.” Altogether, there were 148 different lines, tot.iling 4.1R8 miles of track, with a three- foot gauge in 1879. Habitats of Tapir There are four kinds, or snet-ios. of tapir, all closely related ard classed in the genus Tapirus. Three species variously distributed in tropical America, from southern Mexico into southern Brazil and Paraguay, are the largest indisen- ous land animals south of the United States. The fourth species, the Malay tapir, lives in distant Burma, Siam, French Indo-China. the Malay States and Sumatra Were it not for investigations into U jc past history of the earth, this remarkable instance of discontinu­ous distribution between American and Asiatic taoir? would be difficult to explain. We know that in past epochs tapirs abounded over con­siderable portions, of the northern hemisphere. Adverse climatic con­ditions; combined with the rise of animals, caused the extinction of tapirs'except for the few survivors that wandered southward into their present widely separated habitats. Effects of Color ^ iis tr y is constantly learning new tricks with paint and color. There is, tor instance, the matter of the heat contained in sunlight. This heat radiation is subject to control through the use of color. Dark colors ?bsorb, heat raysr light colors reflect them and there fore cast them away. Oa compa nies make use of this knowledgf wlien thej’ select white and light tints for nainting tanks to keep their gasoline evaporation as low as possible. In gasoline storage tanks, the U. S. bureau of mines reports, a white tank had an evap­oration loss of 1.40 per cent; a red tank had a loss of 3.54 per cent— more than double. This test was made over a four-and-a-half-month period. Opening Ammonia Bottle Ammonia water, as purchased and used for household purposes rarely contains more than 5 per cent ot ammonia and presents few risks. However, if the bottle be­comes heated and is opened while in a heated condition, the pressure de­veloped in the bottle may cause a .=>pray of the solution to be thrown into the face. When a bottle of am­monia water is opened, it shoiiM be opened in a well-ventilated place and with the bottle held w A away from the face to prevent th* escaping fumes from coming into contact with the membranes of tlw eyes, nose, or mouth and irritating them.

Trefsiirv D^partmtnt Thanks, Awfully A deaf old lady walked into a Main Street store, and asked for five cents’ worth of castile soap."We don’t sell a nickel’s worth," said the clerk politely. “Yes, I want the white kind,” she answered pleasantly."Y 0 u don’t understand me, madam; I said a nickel wouldn’t buy any castile soap in this estab­lishment.” “Sure enough,” replied the aged customer, “soap isn’t what it used to be in my time; they put too much rozum in it nowadays.” “Oh, Lord!” said the distracted clerk, in a stage whisper, “will you listen to this old limatic?” Placing his mouth to the dame's ear, he fairly screamed, “We don’t sell a nickel’s worth of soap here!” “Yei,” smiled the old lady. “I wish you would wrap it up securely, with a double thickness of paper; I don’t want it smelling up my bag.” The clerk rushed to a box. tool; out a bar of soap, and almost threw it at the old woman, exclaiming. "Take it and get out, you old harri­dan of thunderation!”She smiled, wrapped it hersell. and carefully laid her nickel on the counter. “You’re the politest and most acconimodatingest young man I ever seed, and I’ll call again when I need more saap.” DEBTOR “Ah, my boy,” the actor said profoundly to his fellow Thespian, “I owe a great deal to thet old lady.”“Your mothert”“Heavens, no—mjr landlady 1” RIskr Bnslncss “See, here,” tte agent at an In­dian reservation said to one of the chieftains, "It’i a violation of the law to have more than one wife and you have four. When you go bacl< home you tell all of your wives except one that they can no longer regard you as their husband.”The chief pondered a moment and then replied, “Ugh, you tell ’em.” Spare Water in Cooking To Preserve Vitamin “ C” Spare the water and save the vitamins. Six vegetables—cabbage, ruta­bagas, peas, asparagus, cauliflower, and spinach—were tested for vitsr min C before and after cooking. All were cooked in four different ways: (1) in a pressure cooker above the water level; (2) in a tightly covered pan with only enough water to prevent scorch­ing; (3) in a steamer; and (4) in an open kettle with water enough to cover during the entire cooking time.Cooking by the last method— that is, with the most water- proved most wasteful of C in all the vegetables. The other thrp<- methods in which the vegetable came in contact with little water during cooking proved about equal­ly good for saving C in cabbage, rutabagas, peas and asparagus.Cabbage, for example, kept two- thirds of its C after cooking by the three water-sparing methods, but kept only a fourth after cooking in water to cover. Rutabagas and peas also kept three-fourths of their C when they cooked in steam or very little water, but had only two-fifths after cooking under water. Farmers’ Co-operatives An increase of half a million in membership in farmers’ market­ing and purchasing cooperatives during the 1947-48 marketing sea­son is reported by the farm credit administration. Total membership reached 5,900,000, compared with 5,400,000 at the end of the previous year. This total, however, does not accurately reflect the number ot farmers who belong to marketing or . pturchasing cooperatives, be­cause many farmers belong to more than one organization, FCA said. Minnesota headed the list ot states, with 602,000 farmer coopera­tive members. Illinois was second with 542,000, and Wisconsin was ^hird with 3M,000 niembers.

Our County And Social Security Bv Mrs. R uth G . Duffv. Manager. Last week I made a short train trip. It was a beautiful day and the ride was delightful. You w ill agree that this part of N orth Car­ olina defies description this season of the year. W hile riding I thought o f the thousands o f w&rkers ne­ cessary to make a trip bv train possible—those employed to keep the tracks in safe condition, to operate the trains, to sell tickets, and to m aintain all equipment. Railroad employees have their own Retirem ent and Unem ploy­ m ent Insurance programs. These plans are somewhat sim ilar to the Old-Aae and Survivors Insurance system and the Unemploym ent Compensation Insurance under the Social Security Act. In fact. Railroad Companies use Social Security Cards in order to keep wage records for their employees just as any other private business organization. However. I thought in particular of the 1946 amend- me.its to the Railroad Retirement Act which provides that survivor­ ship features o f the Social Secur­ ity Act and Railroad Retirement Act be integrated. Survivors of deceased wage earners who spent part of their tim e working for lail- roads and part o f their tim e for other private business organiza­ tions w ill receive benefits based on the combined wage records. . The agency responsible for pay­ m ent of a claim in case o f a com­ bined wage record depends on the deceased wage earner’s employ­ m ent under th.: Railroad Retire­ m ent Act. For example, if an employee worked for a railroad in at least twelve out o f thirty con­ secutive months before the m onth in which he died the Railroad Re­ tirement Board usually would be responsible for payment of claim. However, the im portant thing to remember is that wages earned working under both Acts are ad­ ded together in order to give the survivors the highest possible in ­ surance benefit. This amendment has enabled many persons who formerly could not have done so, to qualify for benefits under one or the other system. Another im ­ portant fact to remember is that an application must be filed before any payments can be made. Inquiries about such claims bv survivors of deceased wage earners should be made at the Winston- Salem Office of the Social Secur­ ity Adm inistration or an office of the Railroad Retirement Board.

Farmers who do not have a tobacco allotm ent but plan to grow tobacco in 1950 should file an application before February I, 1950. December 15, 1949 has been set as the date for holding the Farm- Committee Elections. Farmers w ho'did not participate in any of the programs ministered by the PM A during 1949 w ill not be eligible to vote in this election. V otina placing w ill be announced latjr. Farmers who have not made a final report on their 1949 soil building practices carried out and signed their applications for pay­ m ent are urged to do so right a- way. Approximately one-fourth o f the farmers in the county have made this report. Farmers who have unused mat­ erials, such as limestone, phos­ phate, fertilizer and seeds, that were received through the PM A office are urged to use this ma­ terial right aw.iy and report it to the office. If the material has to be carried over to the 1930 pro­ gram it w ill mean that the farn er w ill not be able to get as mucn material on the 1950 program as he will probably want. A t a final hearing before Magis­ trate Fred R . Leagans at the court house Wednesday afternoon. W ill Myers, of near Bixby, was bound over to the March, 1950 term of Davie Superior court for the fatal shotgun slaying of Everette (Prea­ cher) M elton at Myers home on Oct. 22nd. Myers, who was re­ presented b^ Attorney Burr Brock, plead self-defence but didn’t take the witness stand. His defense was based principally on the state­ ments of his wife, who it appear­ ed, was the only other person ac­ tually present when the shooting I occurred. Mrs. Myers testified in j part that M ilton had fired a num- I her of pistol shots into the house i where she and her husband were, I and that Melton was leaning thru the top part of the front door with a pistol in one hand and was at­ tempting to unfasten the door with the other hand when Myers fired a shotgun blast which alleg­ edly struck M elton in the chest, killing him instantly. The State was represented by Solicitor Avalon H all and Attor- nev Claude Hicks. They based their case on the assumption that Myers actually fired the first shot in the fatal gun battle, and that the body could not have fallen in a face down position with the head and shoulders off the porch, if M elton had been leaning through the top of the door when he was shot, lunior Johnson, who went with M elton to the Myers home and was near the home but not actually in sight, testified that the first shot fired sounded to him like a shotgun Mrs. Blanche D unn, who was at the Myers home ' said she ran when she saw there ' was going to be trouble, and that she heard only one shot which sounded like a shotgun. She later retracted this statement and said the first shot sounded like a pistol. Myers posted bail in the sum of $2,000 and was released from custody. tion Davie county’s C R O P com mit­ tee met November 15 at 7:30 in the courthouse to complete plans for the count\’’s participation in the N orth Carolina C R O P friend­ ship food train. !

MOCKSVILLE. N. C. Tax Violations PRESIDENT TRUMAN’S wam- * ing that there must be a tax increase recalls the fact that bur­eau of internal revenue experts estimate they could collect close to a billion dollars more annually without increasing taxes—if they had better income-tax enforce­ment. Two years ago the 80th congress chopped off a huge army of in- come-tax examiners, a group of hard-working, underpaid public servants who have the impleasant but necessary job of checking on people’s income taxes. While part of this cut personnel has been rein­ stated, the tax examiners are still woefully understaffed and able to inspect only a fraction of the re­turns. On top of this has developed another tax-payment deterrent—, namely, delays and wire-pulling in the prosecution of tax frauds. When the average taxpayer sees certain big shots getting away with spectacular tax vi­olations, naturally he figures he is entitled to do the same. This is not the fault of the treasury tax examiners nor the' prosecution officers of the justice department, most of whom are diligent public serv­ants. But when tax frauds are sent to U. S. district attorneys for criminal prosecution interminable delays sometimes develop. Some district attorneys just do not want to prose­cute. &metimes local politics are involved, and since U. S. district attorneys are appointed under a political spoils system on the recommendation of local senators and congressmen, they are some­ times more inclined to take orders from congressmen rather than from the justice department.« * • Delayed Cases But whatever the reasons, here are some tax-fraud cases which have been delayed or sidetracked between the justice department and the district attorneys in the field. In some cases no politics may be involved; but in any case the effect on the rest of the tax- paying public is bad. Just outside Washington. D. C., the T-nien found that the sheriff of Prince Georges county, Md., Earl Sherlif, had collected about §49,000 from gamblers during four years though he reported a total in­come of only S8.400. But when the justice department sent this case to U. S. Attorney Bernard Flynn in Baltimore, he sent it back m th advice that it was a difficult case. Again out in Kansas City, Kans­as, the T-men caught an eminent doctor, Herbert Hessler, failing to report as income 1,000 fees re­ceived from patients during three years. The-justice department sent the case to U. S. Attorney Lester Luther in Topeka for criminal prosecution, but Luther wrote back that he did not want to prosecute, because Dr. Hessler was too promi­nent in the community. The justice department instructed him to pro ceed anyway, however.* • « Patenotres Indicted Another significant case, report­ed in this column as early as 1943, was that of Mrs. Eleanor Patenotre and her son over concealed profits made from the sale of the Phila­delphia Inquirer, whereby the Pa­tenotres paid a tax of only $1,567 in 1930 when they should have paid around $200,000. Thanks to the dili­gence of one or two treasury agents and a series of exposes by this column, the Patenotres were finally indicted in August 1948.However, the significant fact is that the justice department had all its information available in 1945, and that Raymond Patenotre was in this country from 1945 on. Yet thanks to Patenotre’s ability to hire one of the shrewdest tax at­ torneys in Washington, Ellsworth Alvord, no indictment was brought until 1948. Meanwhile there were libel threats against this column. Even after the indictment, however, another year dragged by, with much legal haggling over a compromise. Finally it was arranged that Madame Patenotre wo u 1 d plead guilty and pay a two mil­lion dollar cash settlement it she didn’t have to go to jail. Most folks, of course, can’t af­ford top lawyers or such big cash settlements.« • • West Virginia Gambler Another interesting tax-fraud case was that of Bill Lias, well- known Wheeling, W. Va., gambler who originally pleaded guilty to cheating the government out of nearly a mUlion dollars. At the subsequent trial, U. S. attorney Lee Spillers not only bungled the case, but was put in an extremely bad light when It was disclosed that he had once received a large politicpl contribu­tion from Lias,* • • BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET So W ilso n H eld U p the W a r For Fast S horthand Lesson --------------------By BILLY ROSE--------------- During the closing days of World War I, I took the President of the United States out of play for 15 minutes. I did it with my little shorthand pencil. At the time. I was working for the War Industries Board in Wash­ington as a stenographer, and running out to get chocolate sodas for Mr. Baruch, its chairman.A few days before the Armistice, a Board executive handed me a let­ter and told me to deliver it to the proper party. The proper party was Woodrow Wilson. The White House that day was a jumble of senators. Cabinet mem­ bers, ambassadors and important brass. News of the Armistice was expected any hour, and the tension was like the last few seconds of the Dempsey-Firpo fight. I handed the letter to one of Mr.Wilson’s secretaries, and was asked to wait in case of a reply. A few minutes later the secretary re- *•— - — turned, looking puzzled. “The President would i m like to see you,” hem said. I g o t trembly in- ^ side. I was pushing'J k 18 at the tune — B n East Side, and also plain fresh. But my dealings with Pres-Billjr Bose idents had been limited to the one I had seen on dollar bills. Mr. Wilson smiled when he saw me. “I understand you’re quite a shorthand writer,” was his greet­ing.* • * MT TREMBLES vanished. I knew the President was a shorthand writer of sorts—the tachygraphy magazines were always bragging about it. “I hear you’re pretty good yourself, Mr. President,” I blurted out. Mr. Wilson blushed prettily- "I don’t se t much chance to practice these days," he said, like a fisherman apologizing fo r « six-inch trout, "Mr. Baruch tells me you can tirite 200 words a minute. I wonder if yoi/d give me a little demonstration." He handed me a pad and a pen­cil, and picked up a New York newspaper on his desk. Then, in his clipped, precise speech, he read one of the editorials at about 150 words a minute. When he had finished, the President said, “Now let’s hear you read it back.” Well, as every stenographer knows, it’s the reading back that counts. I shot the editorial back at him a good deal faster than he had dictated it. And then I started at the bottom of the page and read the editorial backwards. Wilson chuclded. He asked me questions about Gregg shorthand— lie was a Pitman writer. By this time, I was patronizing him a lit­ tle—the caddie who shoots a 61 isn’t self-conscious when he dis­cusses mashie shots with a Rocke­feller.« • * I PICKED UP the New York pa­per and handed the pad and pencil to Mr. Wilson. “I wonder if you’d mind writing for me, Mr. Presi­dent,” I said. Wilson rubbed his glasses on his sleeve. “Don’t go too fast,” he warned. I read the editorial at about one hundred words a minute, and then asked him to read it T O A C O N V A LE S C E N T I AM praying for you, friend, while you are waiting. The long hour through for strength to come again. 6 od grant you patience that you may wait bravely: God grant you courage for these days, and when The healing comes, as come it will, I pray. Health may be yours for many a useful day. In the meantime, rest, and know the everlasting Arms are close about you, that they will Sustain you, and a gentle voice commands you "Know that I am God, be still, be still." And heeding him, his healing touch will mend Your weary heart and mind. God bless you, friend.— GRACE NOLL CROWELL hack. When I told him he had made no mistakes, the President sighed like a kid who has just finished playing The Elves’ Waltz" for Paderewski. I picked up his notes. “If you don’t mind, sir, I said, “I ’d like to keep them.” Woodrow Wilson reached for my shorthand notes. “We’ll exchange,” he said. I walked out of the White House and floated back to my office via The Fiction ♦ Corner By ^ Richard H. Wilkinson Th e ALPHA, Alpha, Alpha, Alpha fraternity at Boynton univer­sity is responsible for the fate of Percival Oakes. It happened this way. * ■During his freshman year the AAAA’s pledged Percy to member­ship, and initiated him into the mystic three R’s. (Rites, Rituals and Regulatibns.) Percy took it like a man. When or- dered to imitate3’ ltlinute a dog howling at CiKtiAn th® moon, he did Fiction h is level best. -----------The result was as­ tonishingly successful. Percy sur­ prised even himself.The brother AAAA’s cheered loudly and clamored for encores. Percy obliged a second time and a third. He was immensely pleased with the applause and at the atten­tion he attracted.The next day. en route to class, Percy was stopped by a grave-faced sophomore and asked to give his imitation of a dog howling at the moon. For a moment he hesitated, conscious of a circle of grinning faces that had silently formed about him, faintly resentful of the fact that the brothers of the AAAA had made public the discovery of his hidden genius. He glanced once more into the grave face of the youth who had accosted him and then threw back his head and bayed lustily. A mighty roar of applause greeted the rendition. There were cries of “More!” “More!” Percival obliged a second time and then once more. Returning to college in the fall, Percy had completely put from his mind the cause and fact of his last year’s popularity. There were other rad more important things to oc­cupy his interest. He was now a sophomore, with all the rights and liberties and sensations of impor­tance that are synonymous with that lofty position. Best of all, he He looked at the moon and from his throat there came . .. rich tones of a baying honnd. Was now unhampered by the 30- odd freshmen rules that had last year cramped his activities.One sophomore caused Percy’s brain to swim. Here was loveliness and intelligence and femininity all combined. Unhappily, it took liim a fortnight to negotiate an introduc­tion. Her name was Delia Winter, and she was as popular as she was beautiful. This was discouraging and disheartening. Percy couM of­fer nothing; she had her pick of the college. IT WAS one of the Saturday ni, informal dances at the colle gym. They had been dancing gether for perhaps 60 seconds whi Delia looked up at him and sail “Aren’t you the boy who can itate a dog howling at the moon? Her eyes twinkled. Percy reddened to the ears. Hi felt a chill, a horrible apprehension: “No,” he bleated. “No! Whoever' told you that is crazy!” Delia didn’t press the subject, but Percy knew he was sunk. He let a month slip by before he could con­ jure enough courage to ask for a date, felt pitifully grateful when she assented. Within the following month he kept five dates with Delia but it was always the same; the “thing” was always there between them. He thought she muM think him ridiculous. She pitied him. During the intermission at the Dartmouth victory dance, Percy and Delia stroHed out ontc the now dry ice-skating rink and .sat down on the bulwark and lo o l^ up at - ■ nd ;ate, or dance w e li^ut it takes genius to be able to imitate things.”“Do—you mean that?” “Why, of course I do! I’ve always admired people who—have creative ability. Genius. Of course I mean it!”She looked squarely at him, and the last trace of doubt vanished from Percy’s soul like mist from a river bed before a rising sun. He stood up, he threw back bis head, he looked at the moon and from his throat there came th e clear, deep, rich tones of a baying hoimd. lAST WEEKS ANSWER ^ ACROSS DOWN 19. Highest J.

Jerry says they used the old formula—“All you gotta do to get a laugh is kill yourself.” W hile' Dean sang, Jerry rattled MARTIN AND LEWIS dishes, threw food, took up collec­tions among the audience. They in­sulted the patrons,' who howled with laughter and begged for more. That routine paid off; they have clicked in pictures (“My Friend Irma,” ) on the air and at night clubs, now make about $10,000 a week. Betsy Blair decided, when she married Gene Kelly, that her mar­riage was going to be more im­portant than her career. She was well set on Broadway, but she gave up the stage to be with him in Hollywood. So she’s very happy over being signed for an important role in “Mystery Street,” at the studio where he works. His next musical is “Summer Stock.” Haide Goransen, the Swedish model whose picture was on the cover of a recent copy of “Life,” has been deluged with movie offers as a result. Producers Robert Smith and Robert Briskin made plans for her to take a screen test in Stockholm: Fox and Uni­versal executives also approached her. She says she’d like to come to Hollywood, but it must be on her honeymoon. Don MacLau^hlin, "Dr. .lim Brent” on “Road of Life,” wonders how he dared do It— his first audition was also his first appearance In a studio and his first broadcast. And it was “live,” heard by several thousand radio listeners. Betty Clark, ABC’s 13-year-old blind soprano, has been the sub­ject of more than a dozen maga­zine articles this past year, and has managed to mention her sing­ing idol in alniost every Interview.

The United Steelworkers had signed an agreement with the Bethlehem steel corporation end­ing the strike for that company’s 80,000 workers and breaking the otherwise solid front that had been maintained by big steel in the strike issue. IT WAS A TRIUMPH for CIO’s President Philip IVIurray who an­nounced that the agreement called for Bethlehem to pay the full cost of minimum $100-a-month pensions for all employees 65 or over with 25 years of service. A social insur­ance plan also was included in the agreement. Bethlehem, the industry’s second largest producer, was the first unit of big steel to capitulate to union demands for a company-financed pension and welfare plan. No one could say just how much the pension program would cost the steel company per hour for each employee once it begins operating. It was expected the pension plan would start to function in January and the social insurance program would get underway at about the same time. Murray told newsmen that a “very conservative” estimate of the pension cost to the company would be about 10 cents an hour, but added actuarial studies would have to be made before the cost could be determined definitely. THE CIO LEADER said the BetWehem action would set a pat­tern for the steel industry, but de­clined to say what companies he was talking to privately. “Bib Steel,” speaking through U. S. Steel corporation President Benjamin F. Fairless said:“We renew our earlier proposals to sit down with the steelworkers union in an endeavor to negotiate a mutually satisfactory program . . . of course we will study the Bethlehem settlement.” The question was: How long would the remainder of “big steel” hold out? The Bethlehem pact was a forceful argument for the unions for, they could argue, if Bethlehem can do it, so can you. STETTINIUS: Was Hard Worker With the death of Edward R. Stettinius, another major figme of the Roosevelt era passed from the American scene. The former secre­tary of state died of a heart attack at the age of 49. STETTINIUS’ contributions to his government were many and val­uable. A rich man’s son, he scorned a life of leisure and, instead, de­termined to make his own way, which he did rather well. He was chairman of the U. S. steel corpora­tion at the age of 37. At 44, he was U.S. secretary of state, the top cabinet post. He was lend-lease ad­ministrator, taking over the post in 1941, a job in which he directed the 60-billion-dollar flow of sup­plies that played a major role in defeat of the axis powers.Youngest secretary of state since the administration of George Wash­ington, Stettinius held the post only 11 months. He resigned to become the first U.S. delegate to the United Nations general assembly. He was one of Roosevelt’s advisers at the Yalta conference with Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin. ALBANIA: New 'Strong Man* The Communists were beginning to throw their weight around in Albania. A new Communist “strong man,” Lt. Gen. Mehmet Shehu, Moscow-trained army chief of staff, was reported gradually taking over control from Premier Hoxha.ACCORDING to reports reaching western diplomats, Shehu appears to be the actual ruler of the coun­try. Hokha, Albanian leader for five years, was reported to have been shoved into the background although he retains the title of premier. The “strong man” is only 36 and he not only is the boss of the army, but also chief of the secret police, interior minister and vice-premier. He is described as the most ruth­less Commimist in Albania. He gained considerable fame in Alban­ia during the war by leading the first Albanian partisan division in many deadly raids agaimt Ger­mans and Italians. NICKEL CUT: Howl of Protest The Eatonton, Ga., city council lecient^ devaluated the nidcel and right away got a taste of the trouble Britain is having with the pound sterling.The. value of the nickel went down when the council raised the price of soft drinks by levying a tax. The bottling business_ went to pot. Some •tores quit seUing soda pop al- tegether to escape the customer ire. Slowing Down Indicative of the general slow­down in industry and field af­fected by it as a result of the coal strike Is this photo of a store of the Westland mine of the Pittsburgh coal company. Because sales dropped so much with miners out of work, the store cut its operating hours from 9 each day to 4. DEFENSE: Some Confusion It was difficult to reconcile Mr. Truman’s constant emphasis on the grave defense problem, that he said confronts the nation, with his slash­ing of the air force budget which limited the groups to 58, and the more recent decision of the navy to cut 31 warsiiips from the active fleet. THESE ACTIONS served only to intensify the average citizen’s con­fusion and puzzlement as to what actually is the status of the coun­try’s defense needs.The navy’s top admiral had been ousted because he contended pres­ent defense policies would destroy navy value and effectiveness. Other navy officials were facing probaWe punishment for speaking out. Uni­fication and harmony were urged on all sides as a desperate need if this nation is to protect itself in the world of today. Despite all that, the air force was to be less than it generals de­clared it should be and the navy was being deprived of much of its stren^h. This left stiU hanging the question of who was right in the row over armed service unification and the proper defense setup.THE NAVY was taking 77 ships out of active service—cutting tiie operating fleet by 31 warships in line with fund reductions. The fleet by mid-1950 wiU be made up of 237 combat vessels, instead of the 268 it had on September 1. Most of the cut was to be in the Atlantic force.It was also reported that 54,891 men will be whittled from the navy and marine corps by next July to correspond with the reduction in ships. INDUSTRY: Profits Climb The first upward trend of U. S. industry profits since the peak of earnings was reached in the third quarter of 1948 was reported in New York. Profits turned around and headed upward in the third quarter of 1949, the report said, and pointed out that 1948 was a banner year that sur­passed even the fabulous 1929. Thus it appeared that industry earnings were at a record peak.BUT THE PICTURE was not quite as bright as it may have ap­peared. Washington had a different report. Commerce Secretary Saw­yer reported that the coal and steel strikes had increased the number of jobless by 225,000 in the week ending October 8, as compared with early September. It was quite pos­sible that the strike effect had not been felt strongly enough as yet to influence the roseate report con­cerning earnings' in industry.The future was uncertain. As strikes continued, so would purchas­ing power dwindle, and with that faD-off would come an inevitable decline in industry earnings.HE EMPHASIZED thdt the fig­ ures released do not show the fiSl effects of the strikes because they were compiled while the walkouts were in their early stages.As for industry profit, a compila­tion by the Associated Press showed net profits of 314 companies amounted, to one billion, three mil- ion, 664,061 dollars in the third quar­ter of this year—an increase of 4.3 per cent over earnings of 962 milUon, 102,819 dollars in the sec­ond quarter of 1949. Bethlehem Appeal Protestant churches during the Christmas holiday season will seek funds to provide clothing, education, recreation and spiritual leadership for refugees in the Near East.Church World Service, Inc., over­seas relief agency for 23 Protestant and Orthodox denominations, sai^ a special Bethlehem Appeal com­mittee would seek gifts to aid refu­gees stranded in Bethlehem and other Near East areas. RELIGION: New Concept Urged When man finds himself unable to cope with the myriad probletps that beset him, when there seems to be no avenue toward solution within himself, he is wont to turn to thr* concept of Divine aid for the help he needs. AS THIS IS TRUE of most in­ dividuals, it is essentially true of this nation, as evidenced by the motto on its coins, the frequent allusions to the Divinity in its con­ stitution and laws. But, it seemed, a new concept, a new dedication to religion was needed. President Harry Truman himself went on the air to empha­size that need. His broadcast was part of the program, “Religion in American Life,” sponsored by the Federal Council of Churches, the Synagogue Council of America, and 18 other religious bodies. The President urged every Amer­ican to take an active part in the religious life of his community and give generoiis support to religious institutions. Turning to the perplexed world situation of today, he declared that every problem in the world could be solved “if men would live by the principles of the ancient prophets and the Sermon on The Moimt.”BUT, he added, that religion is like freedom—“we cannot take it for granted.”“Man to be free,” the President said, “must work at it. And man— to be truly religious—^must work at that,too. Unless men live by their faith and practice their faith in their daily lives, religion cannot be a living force in the world today." BARKLEY: He Made It He said he had no way of know­ing whether he’d “make the grade,” but he made it. On Halloween eve, Vice-President Alben W. Barkley’s plans to marry his Missouri sweet­heart, Mrs. Carleton Hadley, were annoiinced. With the wedding would culminate a romance that had the entire nation looking on with eager and excited interest. THE VICE-PRESIDENT is 71 and a widower. Mrs. Hadley is 38 and a widow. Mr. Barkley’s age, how­ever, was no apparent obstacle to his coiirtship, just as it hasn’t been to his political and governmental accomplishments. An ardent and active suitor, he squired Mrs. Had­ley to numerous social affairs, al­most commuted to Missouri from Washington as the courtship pro­gressed. Mrs. Estell Rucker, mother of Mrs. Hadley, was aU smiles when she was told of the proposed nup­tials. “I’ve been sitting on a volca no,” she said. "It suddenly blew up. A]l(this excitement!” ,TJw Satfley-B»ffles^-«»Hrahce-lB^ last spring at Washington when fee two met at a party in her honor i>y Clark Gifford, presidential ad­viser.PRESIDENT TRUMAN was duly lotified of the event and, it was said, would be present at the wed> ^ g . Free as Ever In Belfast, Ireland, there was sounded a new and lighter note in the dismal refrain of world con-, fusion.Gypsies, with freedom of move­ment since time immemorial, were supported by the minister of home affairs when efforts were made to crack down on them and other itinerants in northern Ireland. THE MINISTER of home affairs took the view that proposed legisla­tion was “rather too drastic to meet a situation wiiich is more of an annoyance to individuals than a threat to community well-being.One complaint, issued to bolster the proposed legislation, was that the gypsies tramped down crops, Missing Stuart Benson, 72, intema- tionaUy known sculptor, was re­ported missing when the Polish liner “Sobieski," on whiibh ;he was a passenger, docked In New York. The sMp^s master said the ship was searched for 24 hours bnt no trace of Benson was found. ASIA: How Much? Top policy makers in the U. S. government were beginning to talk about a “Uttle MarshaU plan” for Asia, hoping that congress will ap­propriate approximately a billion dollars to “start off’ the program designed to stop the spread ci communism in Asiatic countries.The news was in line with an­nouncement of a meeting early next year to set up a non-Communist union southeast Aslan countries.

What shall we think of a preacher who tried to beg off from being a preacher? What can we make of a man who actually reproadied God f o r forcing him into the minis­ try? How shall we rate a man who in time of war urged his own nation to surrender, who was believed by almost nobody, who was rerudiated by his own class and even his own famUy? ^ “ eman What can we say of a man who was often in hot water with the city authorities, who spent months of iiis time in jail, who was called subver­sive, and who never got along with the established religion of his time? The prophet Jeremiah was that man; yet posterity honored him. His own generation thought him a liar. But some then knew, as we imow. today, that he was a teller of God’s truth, a spokesman of God. * * * Was He a Fessimisi? WE KNOW (Jer, 1) that Jeremiah did not v/ish to be a prophet in the first place,' though unlike Isaiah he shrank back not from a sense of sin but because he thought of himself as a mere child.We know (chap. 20) that at times he was thoroughly discouraged about himself, and even cursed the day he was bom. It is also true that in the last war waged by his little country of Judah before it was smashed, his advice from begin­ning to end was “Surrender.” No wonder people thought him a pessimist, a caiamity-howler. But before we call liim such names we musf, remember two things. First is, tiiat his unwillingness to be a prophet, and the fact that so to speak he hated the job, marks a vitfcl fact: he, perhaps even more than other prophets, sensed the dif­ference between his own ideas and what God was saying through him, l'~ Even when what the Lord i said was not what they them- I selves would have wished to I say, they spoke for the lord } nevertheless. Ihe other thing I to remember is that when I everybody wants to believe a pleasant lie, and a man comes along telling the unpleasant truth, he is not a pessimist, he is simply stating facts. Jeremiah stood by the facts as God gave him insight to see them. If they jailed him for it, he could not help that; but they coidd not shut his mouth nor close his eyes.* * « Was he a patriot? JEREMIAH was constantly ac­ cused of acts and attitudes which today might be called “subver­sive,’' though he dearly loved his country. TUs was because he dared to rebuke the ambitions of his country’s leaders. They said: Our country shall be free! But Jeremiah knew it would not be free. They said: Our king will conquer! Jeremiah knew he would end his days a prisoner, Jeremiah was unpopular, to put it mildly, because he advised his country to take the only place among the nations it could take— an humble one. Then, as now, many persons think that patriotism means be­lieving yours Is the perfect conntry. It anyone paints to in- jusice in our land, some one may yell, “Deport him !” But Jeremiah showed what is a true patriot. He is not necessar­ily the man who approves aU the foreign policies of his na­tion (Jeremiah approved not one), nor the man who speaks only good of his conntry and his people. The best patriot is the person who, seeing his country as God sees it, will dare to speak out against evil wherever he finds it.* • • A Way to Know God TEREMIAH knew God well, and J the trouble with his contemporar­ies was that they did not know God. But Jeremiah did not say: "Know (Sod by tiecoming a prophet like roe,” for he knew that only a few are caUed to be prophets. Neither did he say, “(3o to church oftener,” for you can see in chap. 7 what he thoucht of the Temple of his time.He pointed to the good king Josiah (chap. 13). That king had found God, not in a mysUc vision like Jeremiah’s, not in burnt of­ferings and sacrifices, but m the doing of justice looking out for the exploited, caring lor the helpless, seeing that justice was done Important Potato The most important single vege­table in the world as a whole is doubtless the potato, says the Na­tional Geographic Society.

SffJmSfaSSItL THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE N. C.. NOVEMBER 23 1949 SENSE OF VALUES The mother went shopping with her small boy. In the store, the grocer invited sonny to help him­self to a handful of cherries. But the boy seemed very backward, “Don’t you like cherries?” the grocer asked. "Yes,” said the boy. The grocer put his hand in and dumped a generous portion into th« little follow’s cap, which he prompt­ly held out. Afterward his mother asked him why he had not taken the cherries when first invited." ’ Cause his hand was bigger’n mine,” was the answer. HE MEANT ITShe had insisted on taking along every garment she owned. They arrived at the station loaded with baggage. “I wish,” said the husband thoughtfully, “that we’d brought .your piano.” “Now, let’s not try to be fun­ny,” came the frigid reply. “I’m not trying to be funny,” he sadly explained. “I left the tickets on it.” Contagious Joe SioUes was telling his friend about the dreatn that his wife had th e night before. '‘Yes,” he chuckled, “she said she dreamt that she married a millionaire.""Uh-huh,” said the friend in an understanding tone, “my wife suf­fers from that delusion, too." ' de’a Get It Only an embittered and vengeful mind would have thought up any­thing like that. She was just aiigrv enough to do it. She wrapped the engagement ring very carefuJiy in wads of wadding, tucked it in the box, and addressed it to tl.e one she had severed relations with Right next to the addiess she pasted a label upon which wap inscribed in large red letters. “Glass—Handle With Care.” IN DEEP Four-year-old Johnny came run­ning into the house. “Mumsy, do you know Jacky Brown’s neck?” His mother did not answer this apparently irrelevant question. “Mumsy, I said—you know Jacky Brown’s neck?” “Well, yes,” his mother capit­ulated. “I suppose I do know Jacky’s neck. 'V ^7 ”"Well, just now he fell into tht pond up to it.” 22-Miinon-Volt Betatron Enlisted to Fight Cancer A 22-million-volt betatron now is ready for use in the treatnjent of human cancer at the University of Illinois research and educational hospitals. Daily treatments are given in a specially-built underground build­ing in the medical -center district. Only a limited number of patients will be treated for a time; while other research studies are coor tinued. A team of radiologists, physicists, and technicians have pioneered in the medical use of the betatron for some time. The instrument, science’s newest source of high energy x-rays and electrons, was invented by Prof. Donald W. Kerst of the university's physics depart­ ment at Champaign-Urbana. Application of betatron x-iays for treatment of cancer is s;ipci- vised by Dr. Roger A. Harvey and members of the staff uf the depart­ment of radiology at the univer­sity’s college of medicine. The beta­tron is hoped to be of definite ad­vantage in treating deep cancers and those which are inoperable b]T location. X-rays now used in lio.-ipitals fw treating deep Of.ncers are of 200,- 000 to two million voits energy. Tests have shnwo that 22-million volt x-rays not only have great energy, but also will have the medi­cal advantage of concentratins more effect inside the subject rather than on the surface. Three Life-Saving Aids For Sick Dogs Outlined Three new ways to help critically sick dogs live longer and better lives were described by nationally known veterinarians recently.Dr. Carl F. Schlotthauer, staff veterinarian at the Mayo . founda­tion in Rochester, Minn-, told <rf a new surgical method for removing heartworms from dogs. The opera­tion is performed under anesttiesia on the right ventricle of the heart, and patients “get along very well afterward,” he said.Dr. Mjron Thom, of Pasadena, Calif., said that experience gained in treating cancer of human beings is being applied directly in dogs. “We have found that x-ray therapy is indicated in at least 50 per cent of the cancer case,' in pet animals,” Dr. Thom reported.Dr. Lloyd C. Moss, member of the veterinary medical faculty at Colorado A & M college, declared that special feeding formulas—as carefully compounded as formulas for human babies are speeding the recovery of convalescent pets. These preparations, containing nu­trients essent^l to rapid repair of diseased body tissues, are designed for ease of digestion and assimila­tion, he said. Favorite Dog Breeds About one out of every three boys in America, has a dog for a pet at some time or another. Favcri'tf breed of dogs among boys ant; other dog lovers throughout the country, is the cocker spaniel, de­ scribed as “a good hunter and lov­able house pet.” Other prime fa-'’ vorites are the beagle, the collie and the boxer, a valuable watchdog which will literally “fight” to pro­tect children or property left in its care. The estimated 13,000.000 domesticated mongrel arid pedi­greed dogs in this country serve" humans in many ways: They save lives, guide the blind, and null heavy dog sleds across the snow. They herd sheep, help the law to track down criminals, and carry messages and first-aid supplies in wartime, ■ Matter of Streets Josephine was getting on in the twenties and she was beginning to despair of Pete’s proposal. They had been meeting at Hope Street for their dates for almost a year , and a half. One night she sug- I gested' I “We always meet on Hope i Street, don’t we?”"That’s right,” he said. "Well,” she suggested slyly.' why don’t we try Union Street for a change?” Birthplace of Golf Scotland is generally regarded as the birthplace of golf but the as­sertion is open to .«'ome doubt, whatever the proud clansmen of the club may say. In fact it was probably a Dutchman that started the ban rolling, the Dutch vi’ord for a club being “kolf,” meaning the thing you hit the baU with and not the place where you tell how you hit it. But. Scotland’s claim to be the home of golf is indi.sputa’.i'.r and, second only to the Highlant' Fling, golf is the reigning obse-ssiot' of the Celt, Logical I lln i*?/a ; r iv s | IThe father lectured his young son on the evils of Eistcuffs as a way of settling disputes, "Don’t you know that when you grow uf you can’t use your fists to settle an argument?” the father began, “You must begin to use peaceful and amicable means of arriving at a decision. Try to rea­son things out. Try to discover by logic and evidence which is right, and abide by the right. Remember that might does not make right; though the strong may win over the weak, that still does not prove that the weak is wrong." “I know, dad,” said the boy kick­ing at the grass.. “But this was different.” “Different? How different? What were you and Johnny arguing about that you had to fight over it?” “Well, he said he could whip me And I said I could whip him, and there was only one way to find out which of us was right.” Many of my nephew:, find that the contents of their pay en­velopes nsnaUy zoom away with sv- personic speed—their money is jet pro- Kelled.

We believe that multitudes of people have the wrong idea of life, hence value themselves and their fellowmen wrongly. No one can value life in the right way, and as he should, except from the stand point of the soul To estimate life, and value it, merely from the tem. poral is alwavs to place it at too tow a price. This is done by every person who leaves God out and sets torth to live in sin In so living men value themsetves by what they m^y accumulate in dollars and cents, houses and lend, stocks and bonds, or property otherwise; or value themselves by the amonn* of learning they may gain, or bv the position they mav reach and hoW; or by the power they may gain over others, or the popularity and fame they may reach and so onThe right value of life m«ans everything if we live as we should. We know the soul of man is really and truly “the pearl of greatest price.” not the bodv, nor that which is temporal. Therefore Jes^s asked the question, “For what shall it profit a man. if he shall gain the whole world, and lose hi« own soul?” (Mark 8:36) Riches, fame, honor, earthly glory, power, oosition. fine personality, learnin? or great physical strength certain’v cannot compare with the value of the sonl. All that is earthly is bnt temporal, bnt all that Is spiritual is eternal. The badv la temporal, bn’ the soul Is eternal. It is absolutely nocessary to take care of the bo-iy and not abuse it, bnt it is a thou­sand times more necessary to talre care of the soul. However, the vast majority of people give their time and attention to the soul and Ur eternal welfare. This is the mis take of all mistakes If men would place the right value npon life we are canscion- that the world would not he as if is todey. Love, peace, puritv and holiness would have the supreme place in the lives of men Instead o* greed, selfishness, ptlde. lust, hat- red, warefare pleasure and vain, g lo r y ____________ Tie i^g And Yon With the price of eggs so high that manv people are wondering i they can keep on eating them for breakfast, many of ns, no doubt, have been wondering how many the government has taken ofi the market to keep the retail price in the neighborhood of six cents a piece.

It was estimated that the cave contained 815 million pounds of died eggs. But tbe cave is only one of the storage places (bat tbe Department has filled with dried eggs. It has warehouses fnll in Minneapolis, Chicago. Kansas City, and Dallas. The absurdity of the whole situ, ation is that nobody will ever use most of those eggs.

When he arrived there was not a cloud in the slcy, so he carried no umbrella. At ten o’clock it was raining cats and dogs and the gutters over­flowed. “My, my, my,” said the dear one, “if you go out in this storm you will catch your death-of cold."“I’m afraid I might,” was the assenting answer. “Well, I’ll tell you what—stay all night; you can have Tom’s room, since he’s at college.” She flew upstairs to see that Tom’s room was in order. In a lit­tle time she came down to announce that Tom’s room was in order, but the young man was not in sight. In a few minutes he appeared, dripping wet and out of breath from running with a bundle under his arm. “Why, Charlie, where have Irou been?” she cried.“Been home after my pajamas,” was the answer.

T m sury D eputm tat Meat-F«d Bebles T Ik iv i In Nebraska Experiment Meat fed by bottle, a new idea for young babies, proved success­ful in tests w i^ 18 infants, made re.cently by Ruth Leverton of the Nebraska experiment station in cooperation with the babies’ physi­cian. Strained beef, veal, pork and !amt>—one kind each week in rota­tion—were added to the babies’ formulas for a period of eig.ht weeks, beginning when the babies were six weeks old. The amount of meat used was just enough to increase the protein content of each formula 25 per cent, averaging about an ounce daily. The tests were made in two adop­tion institutions with normal healthy babies. For comparison, records were kept of 15 babies who re­ceived no meat. The infants readily accepted the formulas containing strained meat and showed no adverse symptoms from it. Dr. Leverton reports, thus disproving the old theory that meat is hard to digest. The nurses reported that in gen­eral the meat-fed babies were more satisfied and slept better than the others, and the physician in charee considered them in better physical condition. Most significant, however, is she fact that none of the mcit-fer babies developed the anemia (-ha’"- acteristic of their age. and ih;-i the meat apparently promot?d ths* formation of hemoglobin and red blood cells. Iodine from Oil Wells/Iodine spouting from oil wel's has given America an independent sup­ply of rne of its most widely used antiseptics while cutting the price by more than half. The iodine is obtained from a brine that comes up with the oil. Recovering iodine from oil wells, started in 1926 at a single Louisiana well, has expanded into a West coast industry that .to­day supplies almost half the 1,50D.-000 pounds of iodine which Ameri­ca uses each year. Utilization of iodine-bearing oil brine also pre­vents its contaminating West coasf water and killing fish. Iodine, chief­ly used as a germacide, forms a vital element in cattle feed ani^ photographic film as well as in th« making of dyes. rruA-r n o w ? . New Hormone ACTB The saving of all possible pituitary glands, used in preparing a new hormone for the control of arthritis, rheumatic fever, gout, and myasthenia gravis, has been urged by the Ainerican Meat institute on all of its members slaughtering hogs. The hormone is adrenocor- ticatropin, called ACTH, for short. In making the request of its mem­ bers, the institute emphasized humanitarian considerations and pointed out that ACTH is considered to be one of the most important contributions to mankind in the re­lief of severe pain, particularly in cases of arthritis and gout. Myas- thenia gravis is a disease in which the muscles waste away, and be­come progressively weaker. Eyes Have ItCarrots must be good for the eyes. We’ve yet to see a rabbit wearing glasses.

Her hair is coming out badly on your coat.” How to Start a Paint lob With a Brand-New Brush Do you know how to “break in" a new paint brush? You'll have a lot better luck when you start the painting job if you soak the brush in raw linseed oil for a few days first. If the brush comes in a paper wrapper, remove the wrapper and work the raw linseed oil into the bristles. Then put the wrapper back on and place the brush in a can of the raw linseed oil. . If you’re going to use the brush in oil paint, just wipe off the ex­cess linseed oil by pulling the brush across the edge of an empty can. But if the brush is to be used in varnish, lacquer, or water paints, dip it in turpentine so that the tur­pentine works all through it. Then wipe off the turpentine on the edge of a can and rotate the brush rapid­ly between your hands to throw off any remaining turpentine. And be sure to clean your brush immediately after usini; it. Don’t 1st it stand in a can of paint over night. It was in a hotel dining room.

Before long, the sugar-coated pills were so pop­ ular that the medicine was left out and the pills were made only of sugar. From this simple beginning, our national sweet tooth has today come into its own, and grandma's -fudge pot has skyrocketed into a 365-million-<lolIar-a-year business. Cement PaintsPortland cement paints are de­signed essentially for interior and exterior concrete, stucco and ma­sonry surfaces. Formulated with Portland cement, lime, and pig­ments in proper balance, they are mixed with water to form a hard and continuous coating after the water evaporates. As a rule, they are free of glue or casein binders and so are not affected by alkalis or water. Application of this type of material-calls for pre-wetting of the surface. The ordinary Portland cement base paint is not intended for use on concrete floors. Outdated Serums Farmers administering biologies to their own animals should be warned that the use of outdated or deteriorated vaccines and anti­serums may prove quite injurious to their animals. Such products may not give the desired immuni­ ty and may lead to serious shock and possibly death. Accordingly, all outdated vaccine*, anti-serums and biologies in general should be destroyed. Coceidlosis Remedies Milk flushes, Epsom salt flushes, vinegar, and copper sulfate have all enjoyed periods of popularity as treatments for coccidiosis in ciiick- ens, hut, acording to veterinary medical, authorities, there is little or no scientific evidence that any of these treatments are of value. Sulfonamide drugs are regarded as the best agents presently available for controlling coccidiosis, although veterinarians caution ^ a t such drugs may do more harm than good if improperly used.

Louis Denfeld— whom this column has consistently praised—you have to understand what has gone on in the navy. . Over the 50-year period begin­ning with Teddy Roosevelt, the ad­ mirals have led almost a charmed life. They had behind them the personal glamour and publicity that radiated from those two dy­namic presidents—Teddy and FDR —plus the secret but powerful sup­port of Bethlehem steel, U. S. steel, Westinghouse electric and other big corporations whose business flour­ished from building battleships. The only two Presidents who bucked the navy in that period— Coolidge and Hoover—faced an admirals’ revolt not unlike that of today, aided and abetted by the big steel and ship-building companies.Greatest heyday of the admirals came under Franklin Roosevelt. They had never got over this, and Secretary Matthews is now reaping the consequences. FDR appointed as his secretary of the navy Claude Swanson, a de­lightful and aging ex-^enator from Virginia who knew little about the navy. Swanson died in office after letting Roosevelt and the admirals run the show. His successor was Char'e.-; Edison, son of the late great inventor, Thomas A. Edison.* * * Edisoi! Knew Navy The new secretary had operated a big industrial firm, understood construction technicalities, and im­mediately got in the admirals hair. By this time, FDR had diverted many hundreds of millions from public works administration funds to build warships. And, although congress howled, this was probably a good thing—in view of impending war. Certainly it would have been a good thing if the admirals had not insisted on building so many battleships but had built a few more escort vessels and antisub­ marine craft. This was where Secretary Edison and the top navy brass had their first big clash. Edison went out to Pearl Harbor and dared to criti­cize. He told the admirals that duty at Pearl Harbor did not mean spending all the time on the beach at Waikiki, and that the first thing they had to do was get their fuel- oil tanks underground. Even more important, Edison told the admirals to clear off the superstructures of their battleships. The next war, he said, would be an air war; and battleships would have to fire straight up in the air, not broadside. .Therefore, they couldn’t be in the position of firing at their own crow’s nests.• • • Top-Heavy Destroyer About this time, Edison also caught the admirals lousing- up the new destroyers built with PWA funds. He found that out of 28 new destroyers, 20 were so top-heavy that extra weight had to be added to the keels to keep them from turning turtle in the water. In ad­dition, the deck plates on three destroyers buckled in only a “mod­erately rolling sea.” Furthermore, because the navy stiU insisted on using rivets, millions of defective rivets had to be replaced.Edison not only discovered these facts but also learned that three of the private shipyards building the destroyers feared the center of gravity was too high and warned the admirals in advance. They even offered to submit the center-of- gravity test to Gibbs and Cox.Secretary Edison also discovered that these errors were chiefly due to the fact that the chief of naval construction, Adm. William G. DuBose, was at loggerheads with Adm. Harold G. Bowen, the chief of naval engineering. So he shifted them both.• * • Edison Eased Out By this time the top brass who had been running the navy depart­ment in the past were really seeth­ing. And they took their complaint to their best friend—FranHin D. Roosevelt, who, ever since he had been assistant secretary of the navy, believed the admirals could do no wrong.So FDR called in Charley Edison, told him the Democratic par^ needed a good man to run for gov­ernor of New Jersey and that he, Edison, was just the man. Further­more, Roosevelt said he needed a Republican in the cabinet to further his bipartisan war policy.• * » Knox Liked Admirals Frank Knox was an easygoing, ex-newspaper publisher who loved the navy, enjoyed the polish and precision of things nautical. At first Knox and the admirals got along beautifully. The new sec­ retary didn’t know too much about the navy, let the admirals have free rein. But gradually, as Knox began to learn what it was all about, he began to realize that it was Franklin D. Roosevelt and the ad­mirals who really ran things. --------WCEKLY News ANALYSIS-------- France, Canada Urge Atomic Pact; Britlsli Labor Gets Speedup Rule; G.M.

Denfeld was let ont because of criticism of unification and defense policy in the armed services setup. ATOMIC PACT: Asked by Two France and Canada joined at Lake Success in asking that all nations do eversrthing in their pow­er to ban use of atomic bombs and control atomic energy. THE APPEAL was directed to all—and especially the Soviet union —to forget traditional ideas of the soverignty of nations and join an atomic pact that woidd promote security and peace.It was a sincere gesture, but about all that could be said of any results that might ensue was that it was a “nice try.” The proposal did have the sup­port of the others in the majoriy group of he 59-nation political committee of the U.N. general as­sembly, but Soviet Russia was still to be heard from on the suggestion.The French-Canadian resolution actually meant the majority pow- FIEST BOMB WEIGHED TON According to Stephen M. Alexis, Haiti, the first atomic bomb weighed a ton. He made the statement at a United Na­tions session. Statistics on the makeup of the bomb have not been officially disclosed, but Alexis said he had his informa­tion from a scientist, and that in three or four years there would be a smaller bomb for use by smaller countries. ers want the general assembly once more to endorse their proposal for atomic control and to order secret talks to continue between the Big Five and Canada. SIR BENEGAL N. RAU, India’s chief delegate, offered another idea in the debate outlining official­ly his plan for the international law commission to draw up a world declaration for prohibition of the bomb and for control of atomic energy. But, it was said in official circles, that the French-Canadian proposal was as far as the majority powers wanted to go at this time. DIVIDENDS: New High Was it a sjrmbol, a portent of the future? Did it indicate the s tre n ^ of the nation’s economic situation, or was it as temporary sipboard at the mercy of any real wind of economic recession? WHATEVER its real significance, industrialists and economists took cheer for it. It was a vote by Gen­eral Motors corporation of the largest cash-dividend total in the history of American industry. The company, which recently reported a record net profit of more than 502 million dollars from the first nine months of this year, would send checks totaling $190,436,055 to 436,005 holders of its common and preferred stock. The distribution would represent a year-end pay­ment of $4.25 a share on the out­standing issue, raising to $8 a share the amoimt declared on the com­mon stock this year. . GENERAL MOTORS was also ex­pected to establish a record when it retired out of its own corporate funds its entire long-term debt of 125 million dollars—17 to 27 years before the notes are due. Plane Record Commercial planes were darting about the world faster and faster. Latest speed record for commercial planes was claimed by Pan Ameri­can lines which reported its strato- cruiser Westward Ho landed at London in 9 hours and 12 minutes after leaving New York. Capt. Robert D. Fordyce, Jackson Heights, N. Y., commander of the Westward Ho, did it with the aid of a tail wind which at times reached a speed of 75 miles an hour. ' The plane traveled the Great Circle route and its average speed was about 385 miles an hour. The plane carried 21 passengers and a crew of 10. Only a day before, a Pan Amer­ican plane flew from New York to London in 9 hours, 21 minutes, which had bettered the existing mark by 20 minutes. BRITISH LABOR: More for More It has been a fairly well estab­lished philosophy of trade unions to frown on the “eager beaver” who likes to demonstrate how fast he can work or how much he can pro­ duce in a given time. In fact, some unions prohibit members from en­gaging in any type of production speed contest. The philosophy is understandable, if not popular. It is one which takes care of the union member who hasn’t the ability, the skills or the physical stamina to keep up with the would-be speed demon. The philosophy has been applied often enough for critics to charge that it has amounted, in many instances, to an actual work “slow down.”ALL THIS being a matter of record, England’s labor govern­ ment’s move to allocate higher re­wards for greater labor productiv­ ity came as a surprise to many U. S. supporters of the Atlee re­gime. They began to speculate whether the prime minister was laying up trouble for himself among his labor adherents. The British government’s turning away from this traditional phil­osophy of labor was explained on the basis that it must be done to meet growing demands for higher wages to offset higher living costs. Therefore, the ministry is advoca­ting a system of tying wages to the rate of production, rather than the price index. GOLD HOARD: Really There Those skeptical, apprehensive citizens whose dreams had begun to be haunted by the awful spectre of doubt that .Uncle Sam’s purported gbld More at Fort Knox wasn’t there at all could all relax. The gold was there, all of it. ASSURANCE came from a source certainly qualified to know, for that source was Leland Howard, assistant director of the U.S. bureau of the mint. It is his duty to ex­amine personally the gold hoard at least once a year.“There’s more than 12,000 tons of it (gold) at the Ft. Knox deposi­tory,” he reports. That’s more than half of the 24 billion dollars worth of the stuff which the government keeps under lock and key. OLDSTEkS' ATTITUDE Crankiness in Old Age Liniced to Health According to an Ohio state uni­versity professor, crankiness or a cantankerous state in old age is directly proportionate to poor health. In other words, the profes­sor’s situation holds basis for the adage that a man is “only as old as he feels.” The professor, Albert R. Chandler, said his conclusion was the result of SOS reports by college students. and young professional people oh the personal traits of older persons they knew well. The subjects of the study, the pliilosophy teacher said ranged in age from 50 to over 80. Results were presented at the sec­ond annual meeting of the geron­tological society, where Chandler said age itseU was no cause for its wearers to be cranky or irritable, the tests showed. RUSSIA: Direct Warning Soviet Russia was doing a bit of boasting and chest-thumping about the atomic bomb for her arms stockpile.IN A SP£2E(3I broadcast from Moscow, Georgi N. Malenkov, a member of the Soviet inner circle, warned that with the atomic bomb in Russian hands a third World War would “wipe out capitalism.” His was the main speech in celebra­tion of the 32nd anniversary of the Bolshevist revolution.“If the imperialists unleash a third world war,” he said, “this will not be the grave of individual capitalist countries, but of world capitalism as a whole.”He said that atomic energy in the hands of capitalism is the “means of bringing death.”Turning to a new note for the moment, he declared that “we do not want war and are doing everything to prevent it.” Then, discussing atomic energy again, Malenkov asserted that atomic en­ergy “in the hands of the Soviet people must and will serve as a mighty weapon of unprecedented technical progress and further speedy growth of the productive forces of our country.FOLLOWING THE PARTY LINE right down to the final syllable, he charged that the United States has a plan to “enslave the entire world” and that this plan was “borrowed from the mad plans of Hitler and Tanaka (pre-war Japanese militar­ ist) but different in that it exceeds both plans together.”Despite all the boasting and the bombast, there existed in many minds a doubt that Russia has the atomic bomb as we know it—a weapon ready to be dropped at will, POLITICS: Sound & Fury The sound and fury of the 1950 congressional campaign was touched off rather prematurely by Minnesota’s Harold E. Stassen in Minneapolis where he accused President Harry Truman, of making “vicious and untrue” statements in his attacks on political enemies.AND STASSEN is one of those enemies, for the former Minnesota governor and now president of the University of Peimsylvania, is a certain candidate for the GOP pres­idential nomination in 1952. Stassen charged that Truman used historical references in his re­cent St. Paul speech to “wrap the cloak of Jefferson around himself,”- but that actually the President “long ago personally trampled on the cloak of Jefferson.”. WITHOUT mentioning Truman by name, Stassen answered direct­ly the President’s address at St, Paul in which the chief executive assailed “reactionaries” who, he said, had impeded progress of his welfare program in congress.Stassen praised congress for re­ fusing to go along with Truman on the “dangerous” Brannan farm plan, on the President’s request for postwar retention of OPA, and on his demands for pyramided centralized power over a wide range of subjects.” BLARNEY: A Sham Rock? Most folks know better than to get into an argument with an Irish­man—particularly about anything that is peculiarly Irish, such as the blarney stone.BUT IN CALIFORNIA, as in Brooklyn, anything can happen, so it wasn’t too surprising to find a row over Ireland’s famed blarney stone breaking out there.It all happened when a 15-pound stone, believed by San Franciscans to be a chunk of the real blarney stone, was stolen from a church bazaar. Jim Cummins, custodian of the San Francisco stone chunk, declared he had “documentary proof my stone is authentic.” On Trial Again Alger Hiss (left) is shown with his attorney as they left federal court in New York after Hiss had been refused a three- week delay in his second trial on charges of perjury.

FIRST AID to the AILING HOUSE A by Roger C.WIiitinan “ Checked” Enamel QUESTION: Is there any way to smooth the enamel on our wood­work without completely removing it? It has several coats of various colors of enamel and varnish on it. There are tine cracks or checks in some of the enamel. Could we rub it with turpentine or some­thing, then sand it before repaint­ing? If we have to remove all the old paint, how should we do that? Use a paint and varnish remover? We want to repaint our woodwork, but those checks show through so that it doesn’t look nice. ANSWER: You have the right idea, but in reverse—that is, you should use the sandpaper first, and then clean off with turpentine before repainting. If you were go­ ing to varnish, you would have to take off all the old finish; but as long as you are going to use paint again, I do not believe it wiU be necessary to take off all the paint, which would be quite a job. But the cracks and checks should be sanded out smoothly so that they will not show through the new finish. Oil From Burbot Liver oils from the snaky-look- ing, fresh-water fish called the burbot yield seven to eight times more in vitamins than cod-liver oil. Some men owe everything to their mothers. Others owe quite a bit to the generous uncle.

He told me I could hop -from the roof of iny titeatre to my place in West- diester in 20 minutes, and added that it was as easy to drive as a car. I told Mm I wasn’t interested because I couldn’t drive a car.How come? Didn’t I ever try and learn? Just once. And here’s what happened.. . .One day several summers ago, my wife said, “I wish you’d learn how to drive. Every time you want a paper or a pack of cigarettes, I’ve got to stop what I’m doing and chauffeur you into the village.” “Okay.” I said, “if you’ll play teacher.” Next morning I crawled into the car beside Eleanor. “Just turn this jigger over,” she t>egan, “push i n this dingus, pull out this dooliickey, step on this wing- doodle, press down o n this thing — amabob, and you’re all set to go.”“What’s this giz­mo?” I asked, brake,” she’ said. “You throw it on quickly in case of emergency.” “What happens if the brakes don’t work?”“Hit something cheap,” advised my spouse. • • . A MOMENT LATER the car went luccuping down the road. Then for a mile it went smooth as you please. A feeling of confidence came over me, the same feeling aU new drivers get just before the lights go out. I pressed down on the gas. pistons seem to be knock­ ing," I said professionally. "Pistons nothing,” said Eleanor,"Those are my knees." Everything went fine until we got to the traffic light in the vil­lage. I forgot to press the hickey- madoodle on the gilhooley and the car stalled. The lights changed BiUy Rose “The hand from green to red, and from red back to green. A cop came over. “What’s the matter?” he asked. “Haven’t we got any colors you like?” After switciiing the radio on and oft, I suddenly pressed the right thing. In the order of the way it happened, I grazed the cop, ^d - ded through the safety zone, clipped the fender on a bus, and came to rest with my bumper against a fire plug. The cop stalked over, took a handkerchief out of his pocket and dropped it in front of the car. “Lookit, Gene Autry,” he said. “I wanna see you do that all over again, and this time pick up the handkerchief with your teeth.” Eleanor gave him the smile that used to make the front cover of “Life.” “He’s learning to drive.” she said. "No laddittgt’’ said the cop. "How long is this class going to last? Some other drivers would Uke to use this road when Sonny Boy gets through with it," “What did I do wrong?” I asked the officer. “Didn’t you hear my whistle? Didn’t you see my signal?” he de­manded. I shook my head. The cop sighed. “I ’d better go home,” he said. “I don’t seem to be doing much good arotmd here.” Tbe Brave of Earth S TRONG vitb die shining shidd of faigli puipos^ Brave with diejtivet aitnot of their prayer, We see them face the day, their unseen crosses Almost too heavy for their hearts to>bear; Yet uncomplainingljr they live the hours, And patiently they face <he lengthening years, Widi none but himself, to knoVtfaeir heart­ break, And npne but God to mark their unshed tears.

GUCe NOLL CROWCU. \ I THREW THE CAR into reverse and backed away from the fire plug.“If you’re going to drive much.” yelled the cop, “I ’d have the car painted red on one side and blue on the other, so the witnesses wiU contradict each other,” I had only one more mishap get­ting home. I scraped a guy’s fen­der. He was pretty nice about it, “It’s my faiUt,” he said. “I saw you coming.

Wilkinson rVlOGENB sat at the kitchen table and listened starry-eyed while Tony read the letter, “Dear Tony and linogene: I was sorry to hear about Tony’s iU luck down there in Carolina, and know you must be having rather a hard pull. But things are bound to straighten out. Under separate cover I am sending you a tiurkey for your Thanksgiving dinner. Please don’t acknowledge it s receipt, as ~ your Aunt Sara •M inute might read thef">"“ ss- fs " X 'this, and I doubt if she’d approve—you know how she felt when you two got married and started out on yotu: wild venture. My love to you both. Uncle Eufus.” Tony pulled off the last wrapper and grinned happily. Within the cardboard box there nestled a hand­ some, fat turkey; a delicious, palat­able turkey. Tony’s mouth watered at sight of it. Accompanying the bird were vegetables galore, nuts and fruit and a real plum pudding ready for heating. It was com­plete, old-fashioned Thanksgiv­ing dinner. At length Imogene stirred. She turned and looked through the win­dow and there was something queer about the expression on her face. Tony saw the look and he came and sat down on the table and took her hand in his. Imogene looked at him squarely. “I was thinking, Tony, about the Santrells. I can’t help it, with tliis big turkey here in front of us.” Tony’s hand tightened its grip. “Precious,” he said gently, “you’re a dear.” He was silent, then, staring thoughtfully out into the yard. The Santrells, he reflected, had prob- “Darllng,” she said, “I’ve been trying to figure out one good reason for marrying you since our wedding day.’ ably never had a turkey for Thanks- givmg. It was doubtful this ’Thanks- givmg if they’d have anjrthing-to eat. They were poor, du:t poor, and there were e i^ t children in the fam i^. Mr. Santrell was sick half the time; he couldn’t work, even if work were available. Their plight was pitiful. They had been too proud I to a ^ for help; had reached a state of near destitution, when the town discovered their condition. pRESEaSTTLY TONY turned. He ^ said: “Listen, sweet, as far as I’m concerned, I ’d like to live through one Thanksgiving without a turkey. I ’ve had to eat one every Thanksgiving since I can remem­ ber, and the novelty of not having to will be a welcome relief. Besides, Thanksgiving down here doesn’t seem to call for a turk. And we still have the smoked shoulder we’d planned on. And Imogene smiled in pro­digious happiness and Jbegan re­wrapping Uncle Rufus’s turkey. “Darling,” she said, “I’ve, been trying to figure out one good reason for marrying yon since our wedding day. And now I’ve found it.” Whereupon she kissed him and Tony held her tight in bis arms. And so they marched over to the Santrells and undid the package on Mrs. Santrell’s kitchen table and watched with a curious tuggmg at their hearts as the eight Santrell ciiildren and the two grown-ups stared and stared at the great fat bird. They left very soon ^ter that because Mr. and Mrs. Santrell seemed to have difficulty in finding adequate words to express them­selves. They raced up the walk of their little stucco bungalow—and stopped dead stiJl on the veranda.A great package reposed before the front door, and a letter lay atop the package. Tony picked up the letter, stared at the package curiously and tore open the envelope. “Dear Imogene and Tony,” he read. “Your Uncle Rufus wouldn’t like it a bit if he knew I was doing this. You know how he disapproved when you two got married and went away down South. However, I know you must be lonesome a n d rather dis­couraged, and so, under separate cover. I’m sending you a turkey for your Thanksgiving dinner. Please don’t acknowledge its receipt, as your Uncle Rufus might read the letter and I’d never hear the end of it. Love to you both.

BY INEZ GERHARD IAN MINER admits that tt Is a rather odd distinction — she seems to have received more wed­ding cakes than anybody else, al­ though she’s not married. She has been wed eight times on the air, and each time fans have sent her wedding cakes. Currently starring as “Beth Lambert,” alias “Carol JAN MINER Brent,” m “Road of Life,” Jan looks forward to the day when she can retire to her home in New Hampsliire. The farm is on a strictly commercial basis, except for a few of her pet animals, one a horse, “Dr. Malone.” Rosalind Russell will be lured to the Broadway stage, if playwright George KeUy can do it. He wrote “Craig’s Wife,” one of her most successful movies and recently out­lined his new play to her on the set of “TeU It to the Judge.” Randolph Scott credits the late William S. Hart with launchmg him on the road to screen success. Hart visited him when the star of Columbia’s “The Nevadan” was working in “Roberta,” “Randy,” said he, “Why don’t you get out of that monkey suit and into a western outfit? There’s gold in them thar picture hiHs,” Scott re­ cently said he’ll make notiiing but Westerns now. Joe DeBona, winner ot the 1919 Bendix air race, has been signed by producer Lindsley Parsons for a leading role in “Smoke Hunters,” the story of parachuting fire-fighters. Tho U. S. Forestry S e^ce will co­operate on it. Since a pre-view audience stood up and cheered him at a showing of “The Hasty Heart,” young Richard Todd is being hailed arotmd Warners’ as the screen’s newest star,. An Englishman, he was one of the first British para- troop officers to jump into Nor­mandy on D-Day. As a boy he was bedridden for three years with rheumatic fever, regained liis health by playing football! Unaccustomed as she is to roles in which she doesn’t sing, Doris Day has been given a chance to branch out; Jack Warner has as­signed her to a straight dramatic part as Ginger Rogers’ married sister in “Storm Center.*’• For Your Future Buy U.

Ted Junker, President o f the Mocks- ville Merchants Association, is in ' charge o f this Christmas party, which means that it w ill be a big success Children and parents of Davie and adjoining counties are given a cordial invitation to be present for this happy occasion. A Tragic Death Charles Orrell, 40, at native of Davie County, and a son o f Mrs. Charles Orrell and the late M r. Orrell, o f near Advance, was found dead in his car near Sanford last Tuesday night. His car ran oflf the highway into a ditch, and, he was sitring in the car waiting for help to get his car back on the highway. The exhaust pipe was said to have been stopped up by dirt m trying to back out o f the ditch, and it is thought he was overcome by gas fumes. M r. O r­ rell lived at Sanford, and is sur­ vived by his wife, several children and his mother. Funeral and bur­ ial services were held at Sanford Wednesday afternoon. This death brought sadness to The Record editor because we had known M r. Orrell since he was a small tot of three vears. His parents were our next door neighbors on N orth M ain street many years ago. Birthday Dinner Little Misses Patsy Lacedonia and M itzie Brewer, of W ilkesboro street, gave Misses Lilia and Cora Austin a Thanksgiving and birth­ day dinner en their 88th and 82d birthday. Miss Lilia was 88 years old Nov. 21st. and Miss Cora was 82 years old Nov. 26th. The two little girls prepared a nice dinner consisting o f baked ham , macaro­ n i, creamed potatoes, green peas, tomatoes, cake, salad, light rolls and tea. They brought the din-1 ner already prepa>ed for the table! and then had' dinner w ith these j two loveable old ladies, who have ^ spent their long and useful lives: in Mocksville. It is needless to j say they enjoyed the bounteous, repast. A ll wish for them many ’ more happy birthdays. Attend Funeral Am ong the out-of-town people attending the funeral of Harry S.

It was so novel to him that he would engage them in con­versation just to hear the different accent.He was riding on the “under­ground” one day when he heard 5ie conductor shout, “ ’ighbridge next stop, ’ighbridge.”When the conductor passed him the American couldn’t resist his little joke. “I beg your pardon,” he said, “but didn’t you drop something back there?”“Hi see wot you mean,” replied the 'conductor, “but don’t be alarmed. Hi’U pick hit hup hagain when we reach Hoxford Street.” If Y ou A re 8 5 , 4 5 o r 3 , H a d a c o l H e lp s A il A g e s MRS. DOUCET HADACOL is good for all ages, bringing five of nature’s B vita­mins and important minerals to the young and old alike. Recently the HADACOL folks received the good news that among the count­less thousands who had been bene­fited by HADACOL was a lady of 85, a man of 45 who felt like he was 18, and a beautiful little giil <mly three years old. Mrs. Edmond Doucet, of Church Point, La., is 85 years old, hav­ing thousands of friends in the picturesque Evangeline seeticm of Louisiana where she ■v^as bom and has spent all of her life.These friends are happy to know that Mrs. Doucet feels better now than at a n y time in tw o years and gives the credit to HADACOL. “I had been sick for almost two years and was suffering with gas­tric disturbances and bloating. I was run down, had lost weight and had to stay in bed most of the time. I lost courage and felt that there was no hope for me.” Mrs. Doucet had tried many preparations without apparent beneficial results when she heard the glorious news about HADA­COL. “After taking several bottles of HADACOL I felt like a new per­ son,” said Mrs. Doucet. "I eat any­thing 1 want without ill effects and sleep well. I feel much stronger.” Neville Dugas, of Route 1, Box 101 B, Carencro, La., is a success­ful farmer who had worked early and late at all kinds of hard work and it wasn’t so long ago that he won- dered if he would ever be able to work that way again. He had tried many medi­ cines, but felt no better.“I had all kinds of stom­ach disturbances,” said Mr. Dugas. “My stomach was so bloated that it felt like it would swell up and burst, I suffered with gastric dis­turbances, heart bum and was run down and nervous. I had no appe­tite and suffered with headaches and I couldn’t sleep at night. I was so drawn and pale that my friends had difficulty in recognizing me. MR. DUGAS After the third bottle of HADA­COL I felt a real improvement and after the twelfth bottle of HADA­COL I fd t like I was 18 instead of 46.1 am feeling perfectly well.”“My three year old daughter, Joan, had lost her appetite,” said Mr. Dugas.. “Her cheeks .,were pale and she cried often. I started giving Joan HADACOL and after three of the large economy size bottles she is BOW healthy, has an excellent appetite and her disposition is perfect.” S ^ ^AU three of these peoplewere suffering from a lack of B vitamins and the minerals which HADACOL contains. HADACOL comes to you in liquid form, easily assimilated in the blood stream so that it can go to work right away. It is easy to imderstand, therefore, why countless thousands have been benefited by this amazing tonic, HADACOL.A lack of only a .small amount of B vitamins and certain min­ erals will cause digestive disturb­ances---Your food win not agreewith you. . . . You will have an upset stomach.. . . You will suffer from heartburn, gas pains and your food will sour on your stomach and you will not be able to eat the things you Uke for fear of being in misery afterwards. Many people also suffer from constipation. And while these symptoms may be the results of other causes, they are surely and certainly the symptoms and signs of lack of B vitamins and minerals which HADACOL con­tains. And if you suffer from such a deficiency disorder, there is no Iniown cure except the administra­tion of the vitamins and minerals which your system lacks. It is easy to understand, there^ fore, why countless thousands have been benefited by this amazing tonic, HADACOL.So it matters not how old you are or who you are . . . it matters not- where you live or if you have tried all the medicines undeir the sun, give this wonderful preparation, HADACOL, a trial. Don’t go on suffering. Don’t con&ue to lead a miserable life. Many persons who have suffered and waited for 10 to 20 years or even longer, are able now to live happy, comfortable lives because HADACOL supplied the vitamins and minerals which thes systems needed. Be fu r to yourself. Temporary relief is not enough for you. Give HADACOL a trial!—Adv. "COLD DEMONS dOTYOV? Don*tIet“CoIdDemoii8” getyon down—i^each for Hentholatnm!

Prophets False & True Lesson for December 4, 1949 Dr. Foreman they (/u/cA K d i v r w iU i M ENTHOLATUM Go d is neither silent nor dead. He has his spokesmen today. We hear myriads of voices—preach­ers, teachers, editors, columnists, poets jp d politicians, all professing to teflf-tts the truth.When a man claims to speak in the name of truth, is there any way by which h i s claim can be tested? It is an old problem.Away back in Bible times every prophet h a d his rivals, t h e false prophets. The false were far more numerous, often had immense prestige and government subsidies besides. Hew was the common man to tell the true prophets from the false?• * « Notion of Man or Word of God? ONE DIFFERENCE between the true and false prophets, of course, was that the false ones passed out their own ideas, while the true ones gave voice to the ideas of God. Some of the false prophets even dug down into what we now call the subconscious, and told their dreams as if they meant something. The false prophets of our own times are still toe people who draw on their own minds, even on their day-dreams, to furnish messages for the people. The gyp«y dream- books are stiU with us. Astrologers flourish, and not always on the side streets. All sorts of queer cults profess to tell us what is coming next and what we ought to do. Before we take a modern "prophet” seriously we should ask: Is what he is saying his own idea or God’s idea? In this 20th century after Christ, it should be easier to know God’s ideas are than It was 37 cen­turies ago in Jeremiah’s time. For now that Christ has come, we can safely check all the self-styled prophets with the message and the mind of Christ.e « « Is tbe voice of the people the voice of God? Th e f a ls e p r o p h e ts were always popular, the true ones seldom. Mere unpopularity does not prove a man a true prophet; but you may be sure that if a man says only what people like to hear, always tickling the ears and feed­ing the pride of his listeners, he is no true spokesman for God. Not that the true prophet is always insulting his hearers. The Lord’s prophets often speak comforting and welcome words, to be sure. But a steady out- ponring of soothing-syrup is not wliat we would expect from a genalne prophet. Man is often most proud when he is most wrong; and then God has to sweep the man down. Don’t take too seriously the men who merely reinforce your prejudices and shore up your pride; they are more likely fake prophets than true. The voice of the people is not always the will of God.. • • Time is the Test That great prophet Moses (Deut, 18) had already given a practical test of a true prophet: Does what he says turn out to be true? Can he really see into tomorrow? Alas, we may have to wait until tomorrow to find out for sure; but tomorrow always comes, and when it comes, the prophets of today will be shown up for what they are, true or false. Time is the test. Not, Is it likely? * • • Tmtb and Bight ate Twins pERHAPS the worst feature of “ the false prophets who were Jeremiah’s competitors was their real immorality. “Their course is evil and their might is not right,” he said (23:10, American transla­tion). “They commit adultery and walk in lies, they strengthen the hands of evildoers so that no one turns from his evil ways” (v. 14). God’s spokesman can never also speak for the enemies of God. Whenever yon hear any­one talking as if we could now get “beyond good and evU,” ot as if the Ten Commandments were something we had out­grown, then you may know you are Ustening to a false prophet. There are no new command­ments but the one which sums up all of them: Love one another. Prophets of hate, prophets of dis­sension, of lust, these may be speak­ing for themselves or for the devU —but not for God. Protestant denominations.

OUSEHOLD HTSi Add a different flavor to potato salad by marinating the chopped onions in lemon juice for an hour before mixing with the other in­gredients. Before adding the batter, drop a teaspoon of peanut butter in each muffin pan to give muffins a delicious, nutty flavor. To retain the greatest amount of flavor in fruits, place them in a covered saucepan and cook them as fast as possible without scorching the fruit. Also do not overcook the fruit. As a salad for children, use cele­ry stalks filled with peanut butter. Cut the stalks into half-inch pieces and place them on shredded let­tuce with banana slices of the same length. Serve with mayon­naise. Place leftover vegetables in lay­ers in a casserole, a d d cream sauce, sprinkle grated cheese on top and bake. A two-faced darning egg is a sight-saver. Paint half the egg black and the other half white for mending dark-colored hose, a n d the black for light hose.

But she was terribly grief-stricken and gave him a slip of paper with the word­ing sbe wanted on the stone.Instead of making two separate lines he ran two sentences to­gether with not even a comma separating the thoughts so that the epitaph read:“Thou art at rest ‘til we meet again.” Triple Return An American comedian had just completed a tour of English theaters. The actor was asked how he liked playing before the Eng­lish audiences. “Splendid,” he enthused. “I pre­fer them to American audiences.” “Why is that?”“When the English audience hears an amusing story it laughs first to be polite, then it laughs again when it hears others laugh, then it laughs a third time when it gets the point of the story.” Live and Learn “Mine friend, Abie!” exclaimed Goldberg joyfully when he spied his old roommate on the street. “I haveil’t seen you for years.

Notice particu­ larly how the bile flows from the liver into and out of the gall-bladder and thence into the s m ^ intestine where it mixes w ith the partly digested food ju st below the stomach. B ile is a necessary adjunct to proper digestion. Its absence from the intestines inevitably^ causes putrefaction and /ej> m entation.

NOVEMBER 23 1949 Thanks, A w fully A deat old lady walked into a Main Street store, and asked for five cents’ worth of castile soap."We don’t sell a nickel’s worth,” said the clerk politely. "Yes, I want the white kind,” she answered pleasantly.“Y 0 u don’t understand me, madam; I said a nickel wouldn’t buy any castile soap in this estab­lishment.” “Sure enough,” replied the aged customer, "soap isn’t what it used to be in my time; they put too much rozum in it nowadays.” "Oh, Lord!" said the distracted clerk, in a stage whisper, "will you listen to this old lunatic?” Placing his mouth to the dame’s ear, he (airly screamed, “We don’t sell a nickel’s worth of soap here!” “Yes,” smiled the old lady. “ 1 wish you would wrap it up securely, with a double thickhess of paper; I don’t want it smelling up my bag.” The clerk rushed lo a box, took out a bar of soap, and almost threw jt at the old woman, exclaiming, "Take it and get out, you old harri­dan of thimderation!”She smiled, wrapped it herself, and carefully laid her nickel on the counter. "You’re the politest and most acco.-ijmodatingest young man I ever seed, and I’D call again when I need move soap.” DEBTOR "Ah, my boy,” the actor said profoundly to his fellow Thespian, “I owe a great deal to that old lady.”"Your mother?'’"Heavens, no—my landlady!” Bisky Bnsiness "See, here,” flie agent at an In­dian reservation said to one of the chieftains, “It’s a violation of the law to have more than one wife and j’ou have four. When you go back home you tell all of your wives except one that they can no longer regard you as their husband.”The chief pondered a moment and ther. replied. "Ugh, you tell ’em.” Wet, Anyway There is a town in Arizona—that is, they call it a town.. Back in the hills are the mines and the miners’ shacks, and, where the railroad stops, there is one buiidipg—a com­bined general store and limch room A stranger, hiking through the Arizona hiUs, came to this reslau- rant-store, and decided to have some lunch. After the waitress had served him, she regarded him la- vorably from the door, wondering how she could start a conversation, (or it was a lonely place.At last she spoke, looking through the door. "It looks like rain,” she volunteered.He sniffed once at the steamine cup. “Yes,” he .caid^; “it does; but it smells like i.oj:iee,” DANGEROUS Mamma—“Georgie, dear, come kiss your new governess.” Georgie—“No; 1 don’t dare to. I ’m afraid.”Mamma—"Why, dearie?” Georgie—“Dad kissed her yester­ day, an’ she slapped his face.” Spare Water in Cooking To Preserve Vilsmin «C” Spare the water and 'save the vitamins. Six vegetables—cabbage, ruta­bagas, peas, asparagus, cauliflower, and spinach—were te.sted for vita­min C before and after cooking. All were cooked in four different ways: (1) in a pressure cooker above the water level; (2) in a tightly covered pan with only enough water to prevent scorch­ing; (3) in a steamer; and (4) in an open kettle with water enough fo cover during the entire cooking time. Cooking by the last method— that is, with the most water— proved most wasteful of C in all the vegetables. The other three methods in which the vegetable came in contact with Uttle water during cooking proved about equal­ly good for saving C in cabbage, rutabagas, peas and asparagus.Cabbage, for example, kept two- thirds of its C after cooking by the three water-sparing methods, but kept only a fourth after cooking in water to cover. Rutabagas and peas also kept three-fourths of their C when they cooked in steam or very little water, but had only two-fifths after cooking vmder water. Moot QuestionThe sales manager and the adver­tising manager were arguing about ; wliich of their departments was the * most important to the company. "Can you show me,” challenged the sales chief, “a single order that advertising ever put on the books?” “I tliink I can,” rcnM^d ti'ie ad­ vertising manager, “but first an­swer this question. Can you show me a single load of hay that th? sun ever put in a barn?” Farmers’ Co-operatives An increase of half a million in membership in farmers’ market­ ing and purchasing cooperatives during the 1947-48 marketing sea- .eon is reported by the farm credit administration. Total membership reached 5,900,000, compared with .5,400.000 at the end of the previous year. This total, however, does not accurately reflect the number of farmers who belong to marketing or purchasing cooperatives, be­cause many farmer? belong to more than one organization, FCA said. Minnesota headed the list of states, with 602,000 farmer coopera­tive members. Iliinois was second with 542,000, and Wisconsin was third with 334.000 members. IN UEMORIAM A little boy surprised his par­ents by refusing to be scared into being good. ‘It’s no use telling me the iDgels will write It down in their boolcs if I’m naughty,” he said. “I might as weU tell you they think op in Heaven Pm dead." “But why should they thinb that?" “ Recanse I haven’t said my prayers for a fortnight** HVRRx it : The orator was taking an uncon­scionably long time for his speech. He bellowed forth over his hear­ers’ weary heads:“I am speaking for the benefit sf posterity.” A heckler promptly shouted: “Yes, and if you don’t be quick about it. they’ll be along to hear you!” She Ceil.'/! Do ThatAmong a young girl’s many ad­mirers was an extremely fat man. Even though he didn’t have a Chance he persisted in his atten­tions. One evening he proposed to the girl of his dreams as she sat on the living room ,<!ofa. He became so wrought up that he dropped to his knees and pleaded for a "yes” to his proposal of marriage.When she made it crystal clear that she was among those who didn’t love a fat man he sighed heavily and dropped his head sor­rowfully. "WeU, at least,” he said, holding liis hand out to her. “help me get up again.” A wise and greatly experienced traveler was asked how he managed to pay the proper amount to taxi- drivers when he was abroad.“Oh,” replied he, “I take a hand­ful of small coins and begin count­ing them into’ the driver’s hand, keeping my eyes constantly on his face during the transaction. As soon as I detect a smile on his face. I stop doling out the money."“I suppose,” ventured the other, "that determines what you will pay aim?"“Not exactly,” rejoined the ex- ^ perienced traveler. “I take back one ! coin and return it to my pocket, for i when he smiles, I know I have paid I him too mucb ” V,S. Raiiroads’ .Progress Helped iiy Standard Gauge Development of American rail­roads into the world’s greafest transport system would not have been possible without standardiza­tion of railroad gauges. Where uniformity was achieved, the interchange of traffic from one line to another and through serv­ ices became possible. In early rail­road history, almost every other road had a different gauge, causing freight and passengers to be shifted from one train to another at con­necting points. When the industry was in its in­fancy, each new road-set its own gauge, probably not foreseeing the congested rail system of today. As late as 1871, there were more than 23 different gauges used throughout the country, ranging from three feet to six feet. In the same decade, numerous narrow-gauge railroads were built, causing a “narrow gauge fever.” Altogether, there were 148 different lines, totaling. 4,188 miles of track, with a three- foot gauge in 1879. Habitats of Tapir There are four kinds, or species, of tapir, all closel}' related and classed in the genus Tapirus. Three species variously distributed in tropical America, from southern Mexico into southern Brazil and Paraguay, are the largest indigen­ous land animals south of the United States. The fourth species, the Malay tapir, lives in distant Burma. Siam, French Indo-China. the Malay States and Sumatra. Were it not for investigations into the past history of the earth, this remarkable instance of discontinu­ ous distribution bfetween .American and Asiatic tapirs would be difficult to explain. We know that in past epochs tapirs abounded over con­siderable portions of the northern hemisphere. Adverse climatic con­ ditions, combined with the rise of animals, caused the extinction of tapirs except for the few survivors that wandered southward into their present widely separated habitats. Effects of Color Industry is constantly leaminy new tricks with paint and color. There is, for instance, the matter of the heat contained in sunlight. This heat radiation is subject to control through the use of color. Dark colors absorb heat rays- light colors reflect them and there fore cast them away. Oil compa nies make use of this knowledgt when they select white and light tints for painting tanks to keep their gasoline evaporation as low as possible. In gasoline storage tanks, the U. S. bureau of mines reports, a white tank had an evap- '.ration loss of 1.40 per cent; a red ank had a loss of 3.54 per cent— ■nore than double. This test was ,nade over a four-and-a-half-month period. Opening Ammonia Bottle Ammonia water, as purchased >.nd used for household purposes •arely contains more than 5 par ■ent of ammonia and presents few •isks. However, if the bottle be :omes heated and is opened while in a heated condition, tlie pressure de­ veloped in the bottle may cause a spray of the solution to be thrown into the face. When a bottle of am­monia water is opened, it should be opened in a well-ventilated place and with the bottle held w#U away from the face to prevent file escaping fumes from coming into contact with the membranes of the eyes, nose, or mouth and irritatinr them.
