Hicb Point, N. C. R4 There are multitudes of people todajr who have so many worthless excusses for doing wrong, serving the dovll aud failing to give their hearts and lives to God. Perhaps one of the main excosef that the masses bold up before them is the failure of church members all a- bont ns who live such worldly lives, many of whom aJ« quite sinful and wicked The outside world will tell us that they are jnst as good as as they are. aud better too, since they do not profess only to be sin­ ners, while the hypocrites say they are Christians. Well, dear sonl, just remember one thing— you can’t go to heaven following along with hypocrites. This Is a very worthless excuse fon you serving the devil and sin. Sncb an excuse won’t get you anywhere towerd God, but it will sink yon into hell. Yes, we realize this in one of the general excuses the out side sinfnl world pnts up continn ally, and all about ns. I would ha^e much to live on no high level in life than that of a bvpocrite, and thon go to meet God under such a circumstance. W hy not pick out the very best people in the church as an example and try to measure up to them? Indeed there Is genuine gold among the counterfeit. H unt for the gold and not the dress, or the eonnfer- felt. W hy throw away the church entirely because there are some who do not measure up to their profes­ sion, or that are hypocrites? Isn’t it using just as much common sense to fhrow away all good mon ey because there happens some times a little connterfeit to be in circulation? Certainly, but you don’t refuse money because >on get a counterfeit dollar. People have many exc .ses for staying away from the church and Sunday school, bnt when we sum the excuses all up. with but very few uxaeptious, the one out stand­ ing reason is because they don’t want to go. I'm convinced of this fact the longer I live. People ab ai)sent themselves from church be­ cause they don’t want to go. They stay away from God because they want 10 live for the devil. Ot c<nrse they have their excuses, out all excuses for living in sin ;.nd going hel'ward, and staying away from God and out of salva tion, are absolutely worthless.

WMi tin N xn An oW lady who could not see eye to eye with the taxi-driver on the question of fare, finally re­marked: "Don’t you try to tell me anything, my good man. I haven’t been riding in taxis for five years for nothing.”“No,” replied the driver, “but I bet you had a good try!” EVERT UTTLE BIT HELFSThe courtroom was crowded as the judge finished his lecture to the defendant in a divorce ac­tion."So I’ve decided to give your wife $40 per month,” were his last words.“That’s fine, judge,” the hus­band said as his face lit up with a big smile. “I’ll try to slip her a couple of bucks now and then, myself.” Naturally Mrs. Brown’s eye caught a small item in the paper that gave her a great deal of satisfaction. “Listen to this,” she said gloatingly to her husband. “It says right here in the paper that whiskey kills more people than bullets.” “Of course,” snapped her hus­band impatiently, “who the devil ever heard of bullets drinking whiskey.” She Knew Him “Yes,” she admitted, “you lovt me very much now. That’s only natural, I suppose. But will your love for me remain as ardent after we are married?”“Don’t worry your pretty little head about that,” he answered softly. “You know darned well it will. Haven’t you, yourself, often commented upon my fondness for married women?” Drug that Blocks Nerves Oflers Field for Research Besearch with a nerve-blocking drug at the University of Michigan makes it possible for doctors to determine in advance whether an operation to correct an over'active sympathetic nervous system will be beneficial. Results of research with the drug, etamon, are reported in the Journal of Clinical Investigation by Dr. Sibley W. Hoobler, assistant profes­ sor of internal medicine in the Uni­versity of Michigan medical school. His research disclosed a high degree of control over the blood supply was exercised by the sym­ pathetic nervous system. He lim i­ ted his research to the feet and hands since accurate information on the blood flow could be obtained more easily from these portions of the body. When the drug was injected in­travenously thereby blocking nerves, the flow of blood to the feet was increased to eight times the normal amount while the flow to the hands increased to three and four times normal, Dr. Hoobler reported. Using the drug on patients where the nerves controlling the blood supply to either the feet or hands had been cut showed that etamon acts only on the sympathetic nerves. ’Oiere was no increas* in the blood flow in these cases, the research disclosed. Overactivity on the part of the sympathetic nervous system causes the blood vessels to be constricted, thus limiting the supply of blood that can reach the portion of the body in which these overactive nerves are located. Dr. Hoobler ex­plained. “Tool”-y Youri “It is ‘plane’ that I love you,”he began. “Is that on the ‘level’?” she asked. “Haven’t I always been on the ■square’ with you?” he urged.“But you have many ‘vices,’ " she remonstrated.“Not a ‘bit’ of it,” he asserted. !“What made you ‘brace’ up?” , she queried, coquetilishly.“The fact that I ‘saw’ you” he replied with a bow.“ I ought to ‘hammer’ you tOr that,” she answered saucily. “Come sit by me on the ‘bench,’ " he urged.“Suppose the others should ‘file’ in?” she murmured.“You shouldn’t let your arms 'compass’ me,” she continued.“I know a preacher that is a good ‘joiner’,” he suggested.“Promise not to ‘chisel’ him out of his fee,” she requested.“That wouldn’t .‘auger’ well for us?” he answered as they rushed off for the license.

They talked for a moment or two, then the politician offered the judge some advice. “I see you’re drinking hot tea,” he said. "That isn’t a very good drink for this hot weather. It heats the blood too much. Now, what you want is a cool refreshing bever­age. One that will make you forget the warm weather. Have you ever tried a gin and bitters?”“Why, no, I haven’t,” replied the judge, “but I have tried many men who have.” “In Other Words . . .» Hollywood’s leading dialectician pulled a couple of beauts recently.

The results take the form of a photo^aph which shows, for the magnetic studies, the di- * rection and strength of the mag­netic forces about any small mag­netized object. Thus it is now po.ssi- ble to photograph and study the minute “atomic magnets” within magnetic materials—magnets so small that the use of a probe any larger than an electron would ob­scure the effects they produce. The photographic patterns obtained may be measured and used in com­ puting, to a high degree of ac­curacy, the "absolute value” , of the m a^etic field strength -in the region of magnetic force.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE. N. C. Air-Sea Conflict XT’S EASY to understand why the * air admirals are boUing mad at unification. To some extent you have to sympathize with them. What they can’t forget is that for years the navy’s airmen had to fight the battleship admirals and now, just as the airplane carrier has come into its own, they find themselves stymied by unifica­ tion. The admirals who put up this long running-fight with the old- fashioned battleship admirals in­clude such brilliant officers as Gerald Brogan, Arthur Radford, L. T. Sprague and Jack Towers, now retired. Thirty years ago, just out of Annapolis, they went into the relatively new naval aviation as fliers and worked up to the top. They were conviaced that die fu­ture of the navy lay in the air. They had the courage to believe this even at a time when most of the admirals swore that nothing could ever sink a battleship. During the recent campaign In the Pacific, Admiral Sprague had the ranking admirals tak­ing orders from him. Because operating carriers in battle formation, with their network of protecting airplanes and de­ stroyers, is such a skilled job, Sprague, a junior, was in com­mand. When the squadron put into Pearl Harbor or any otber base, the senior admirals, un­trained in carrier battle forma­tion, then took over. With the war over and the battle­ship being laid up in mothballs, naval aviation at long last ap­peared about to achieve full recog­nition. Whereupon congress passed the unification act, and with it, the chief air responsibility went to the air force. No wonder the air admirals are indignant!• • * Naval Carriers Heroes The full story of the navy’s air­ plane carriers was one of the most heroic of the war, and the heroism was even greater because of a serious defect discovered in the carriers after the navy had built most of them. This defect — like most of the navy’s trouble—was due to faulty engineering and bad planning. Airplane - carrier designers had failed to take into consideration the possibility that decks were vulner­ able and that once the deck of a carrier was tom up, no plane could take off. The Japs, however, soon discov­ ered this. The result was that sui­cide Jap fighter planes dived for the deck of carrier after carrier with deadly casualties. Entirely aside from the tragic loss of life, so many carriers were put out of commission that they had to be sent all the way through the Pana­ma canal to the Atlantic coast for repairs. The west coast yards wer« too full.• • * Okinawa Losses At one time during the battle of Okinawa, virtually all of the navy’s carriers were either en route back to the U. S. for repairs or en route to battle after being repaired. The shipyards at Pearl Harbor were full. The west coast yards were at capacity, and the east coast yards had to handle the overflow—despite the extra time necessary to carry the limping vessels through the Panama canal. Thus one Jap suicide plane could put a carrier out of commission for four to six months. The British, foreseeing tbits, equipped their carriers with armored decks. Toward the end of the war, new American carriers were also built with armored decks. But it took a long time for the navy to wake up to its mistake. Experience in the Pacific proved that carriers were at their peak effectiveness in making surprise raids on the enemy. If carriers had to stay in one place, as at Oki­nawa, they suffered unmercifully. But if they could sneak up on the Japanese mainland under cover of night, make their attack at dawn, and then retreat, their losses were much less.« * * Leyte Battle Blunder It was the battle of Leyte, where carriers also played an important part, which convinced many navy men that unification was neces­sary. Divided American command and a Japanese feint almost proved disastrous for U. S. ships. The command in the battle of Leyte was divided as follows. Gen- er^ MacArthur commanded not only the army but the western fleet under Adm. Tom Kincaid. It was Kincaid’s job to protect the landing of MacArthur’s troops. The rest of the fleet was under Admiral Nimitz who had delegated the im­mediate command to Admiral Hal­sey. Halsey was supposed to keep Kincaid advised at all times of his movements, but not take orders from him. His telephone lacked enough range. --------WBCKLY News ANALYSIS------- West iUks Reds for Peace Effort; Pact Nations Would Rearm Italy; Costliest Steel Strike Terminated (EDITOR'S NOTE: Wben •pinionB are expressed In these colmnna, they are those et Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of Uifs newspaper.) PEACEJRY: Reds Asked In Russia’s Andrei Vishinsky had said, in effect, to United Nations members: Set up an atomic con­trol system of periodic inspection of manufacture and materials, and Russia will let you in to inspect Monday, Wednesday, Friday, this week and next week—but instead you want to inspect from minute to minute, day by day,' week by week. THE U. N. didn’t go for that. Russia, its members claimed, was referring only to declared manu­facture and materials, but what of the “hidden and undeclared” production and stockpiles. Vishin­sky got nowhere with his proposal. Then, the U. N. turned around, placed the shoe of warmongering on the foot upon which they felt it belonged. The United States and other western powers called upon Russia to stop its “campaign of hate” and cooperate in a 12-point program for peace. The 12 points were: Stop threat­ening or using force contrary to the U. N. charter. Stop interfering with the independence of any other country and the fomenting of civil strife. Carry out in good faith all international agreements. Afford all U. N. bodies full cooperation. Promote full freedom of religion and political expression and full respect of all other fundamental rights. Promote higher standards of living for all peoples. Remove information barriers. Participate fuUy in the U. N.’s work. Settle international disputes peacefully. Cooperate in armaments control. Agree to exercise national sover­eignty jointly with other nations to attain international control of atomic energy. Urge five big pow­ers to broaden their cooperation in the security council of the U. N., and to exercise restraint in using the veto. THE FIRST REACTION of those conversant with Russian policy as it has been manifest thus far must have wondered if the western pow­ers had taken complete leave of their senses in making any such proposal to Moscow. They might as well have asked the Russians to turn over the Kremlin to the Christian Endeavor society, enroll Joe Stalin as a Boy Scoutmaster, and to turn the politburo into a Sunday choral society. Even a kindergarten child would have known better than to expect Soviet agreement to any of the 12 points. STRIKE ENDS: Steel Costliest America’s costliest steel strike ended, appropriately enough on Armistice day, with the CIO steel­workers winning demands for an industry-financed insurance - pen­sion formula. THE CAPITULATION of U. S. steel, bellwether of the industry as regards labor relations, brought an end to the crippling strike. Four smaller firms settled on the same terms the same day, terms which followed the pattern ac­cepted by Bethlehem steel, first big company to sign with the union. According to a CIO spokesman, the union-company agreement em­bodied such terms as a minimum $100 monthly pension to workers aged 65 with 25 years service, with the employer paying all the cost, and an insurance program, costing five cents an hour per man, with the company and worker sharing the cost. FARM RATS: A Formula The farmers in the Rio 'Grande tomato fields were beginning to get results in their interminable war on rats after garnishing their crops with poisoned grain. A FEW WEEKS AGO the rats were swarming into tomato and green pepper fields near La Grul- la, Tex. They spread methodically up and down the Rio Grande until the invasion covered a 15-mile strip, one to two miles wide in places. Farmers lost first pickings completely in several fields. Then they began to dust their crops with poisoned grain. Said grower Ralph Jones: “That poison sure does the business. It’s stopped the losses.” ^ But not before' serious damage w^s done to 2,000 irrigated and cultivated acres. U.S. PAY ROLL: Tops 10 Billion United States government opera­tional expense, long in the astro­nomical bracket, had reached a total annual figure of 10 biUion, 200 million dollars. That figure, in the aggregate, is almost'meaning­less to the average American. But broken down to show how it af­fects the individual, it could be brought very much home to the taxpayer. '^It was costing each ^mericah $227 per capita. Prize Winner Dr. William F. Gianque, 54, professor at the University of California, was a Nobel prize winner for his work in the study of entropies. The entropy of a compound determines whether a chemical reaction can take place. - ITALY: New Weapons Experience, though a hard teacher, is supposed to teach well. In international events, however, this doesn’t always follow. FOR INSTANCE, Italy, two-time foe of th e democracies in as many world wars, will be rearmed soon if top-planners of the Atlantic pact countries have their way. Dis­cussions looking toward rearming the Italians under the Atlantic pact already were underway • between high-ranking U. S. and Italian mili­tary officers and diplomats. James C. Dunn, U. S. ambassa­dor to Italy, attended the first of a series of closed sessions aimed at modernizing and re-equipping Italy’s treaty-limited armed forces under the Atlantic pact’s defense system. ITALY’S RECORD in connection with disservice to the democracies smells to high heaven. In World War I the country started out with Germany and the Central Powers and turned coat only when it was evident her side was losing. In World War II, she started out with II Duce Mussolini and forsook him only when it became apparent she was on the wrong horse again. RAILS: Fares Up The third fare increase for east­ern railroads in the past three years has been authorized by the interstate commerce commission. The increase this time amounted to a 12.5 per cent hike in rail passenger fares in the East, esti­mated to give the railroads anoth­er 37.8 million dollars a year in revenue. THE RISE applies to the area east of the Mississippi river and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers. Commuter fares were not to be affected. In 1947 these same roads were granted a 10 per cent boost in passenger fares, and last year another hike of approximately 17 per cent. Southern and western railroads did not apply for the in­ crease granted the eastern roads.THE NEW -RATES, it was said, would raise eastern coach fares to about 3.37 cents a mile, and parlor-car and sleeping-car fares to about 4.5 cents a mile. In New York, a railway official said the new increase would boost one-way coach fares from New York to Chicago from $27.30 to $30.75.' First class fares would be raised from $36.35 to $40.89. A-BOMBS: Men at Work According to a British-licensed Berlin newspaper, the Telegraf, Russians are operating a plant near Berlin to produce explosives used solely for making atomic bombs. THE PAPER, giving no authori­ ty for the source of its informa­tion declared, nevertheless, that the plant where the explosives are being made is the people’s owned Teerchemie plant in Erkner, sub­urban east Berlin. 'The newspaper story said 600 workers were em­ployed on the project. It said the plant produced a chemical called "carbazol,” which the paper described as highly ex­plosive. SWEDEN Talks Back The United States senate, col­ lectively and individually, has been called by some colorful and lurid names—but it remained for some Swedish editors to hurl the most devastating blast at that au­gust body. A SWEDISH NEWSPAPER, the liberal afternoon Expressen, had this to say:“The U. S. senate is certainly a high assembly, but it is also a dumping place for all sorts of quaint characters and the most ig­norant politicians from the dark­est comers of the union. And it must be pretty dark in Oklahoma.”The shaft was aimed, really, at Oklahoma’s Senator Thomas, a Democrat, who was critical of the way Sweden had received a sen­ate appropriations subcommittee visiting Marshall plan countries to see how U. S. funds were being used.Sweden, it app^red, had re­ceived quite a bit of Marshall plan aid, but had sort of “snubbed” Thomas and his committee. Thom­as declared the country to which he “referred” in his criticism, ex­pressed in Vienna, “had helped no one in the past 135 years,” and if it got any more Marshall plan funds, it would be over his pro­test.The “QUAINT CHARACTERS” and “most ignorant politicians” the Swedes referred to in the sen­ate, or who had ever been a mem­ber of it, included some right in­fluential fellows who might have much to say about continuing Marshall plan aid — among them, President and former Senator Har< ry S. Truman. GERMANY: Gl's to Stoy Russia might do as she pleased about occupying Germany, but the western allies intend to keep their troops in that country whetiier or not the Russians pull out.THAT was the statement of- a west German government spokes­man who indicated this was, one of the decisions reached at the big three Paris conference.U.'S. secretary of state Dean Acheson and German chancellor Konrad Adenauer had agreed upon the need for keeping western troops in Germany.This same spokesman said the appointment of Soviet Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky as com­mander-in-chief of the Polish army was construed to mean that Rus­ sian troops would be withdrawn from eastern Germany soon. EVEN THOUGH the Russians should withdraw their troops, this same source said, the Russian secret police and the Soviet-trained German people’s police still would remain. THE PRESS: 285th Year With technicalities waived, the Official London Gazette, beginning its 285th year of continuous publi­cation understandably laid claim to being the world’s oldest news­paper. THE twice - weekly government paper began publication in 1665 during the great plague which rav­aged London. Since that time it has been the appointed organ for dissemination of all "announce­ments of the chief executive.”The paper is issued each Tues­day and Friday with official an­nouncements from Buckingham palace. Number 10 Downing street, official residence of the prime min­ister, and government depart­ments. And it never publishes much else. Flannel Queen Rocket With ‘Brain’ The U.

A 30-year old Los Angeles vet­eran, who used the fictitious name, Paul Clark, did it. He did it on a bet to prove the extent of Ameri­can people’s hospitality. And in doing it, he won a bet of $4,800 from a friend. He kept his identi­ ty secret, he said, as part of the wager which he’d made. Other con­ditions were not disclosed. Milk. Pelletizing Aids Poultry Feed Milk Products Aie Found Important to Egg Output That m il.k products are stiU among the most important ingredi- ents in a laying ration is indicated in results of a series of feeding tests conducted with high-produc­ing flocks in New England poultry areas earlier this year. The tests, which ran an average' of 164 days, were conducted at a state agricultural college, a county vocational agricultural school and commercial poultry farms. _ Re­sults showed an average additional profit of 26 cents each for hens fed Joseph Buzzo, Hope Valley, B. I., is shown at bis egg cAi- dler-grading machine. Raising from 12,000 to 13,000 birds an­ nually, Buzzo says he has re­corded a 12 per cent increase in egg production from his test flock which was fed pelletized milk products in the 1948-49 lay­ing season. milk products in addition to rations regularly fed on the test farms. Nearly 3,000 birds. New Hami>- shires, Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rocks, and a Barred Cross were in­volved. On each farm flocks were divided into test and control pens. The control pen received the ra­tion normally fed on the farm. For instance, the state college fed the New England college conference laying ration, the county sChool used its own formula ration, and the commercial poultrymen fed various commercial laying mashes. In each case test and control pens were of the same age and breed­ ing, and received the same care and management except that the test pen was fed a pelletized dairy products feed in addtion to the normal ration. Accurate feed cost and egg production records were kept. For purposes of making prof­it comparisons, 55 tents a dozen was UE*d as an average egg price. When resiUts were tabidated and averaged, it was found that the test pens fed the milk product, laid an average of 8 per cent more eggs and made an average of 12.3 per cent more profit. Egg production for test birds averaged 64 per cent throughout the tests, compared to 59 per cent for control birds. Aver­age feed cost per dozen eggs was 29 cents for test pens, 28 cents for control pens. Culls and deaths in test pens averaged 15 per oent. Highest average egg production was 74.4 per cent made by a test pen of Barred Rocks at the county school over a six-month test period. There the control pen averaged per cent production. Birds in the test averaged $3.06 net income per bird (eggs over feed), compared to $2.71 per bird in the control pen. Bumper Yield This is the type of bumper wheat yields wbich may be ex­pected by the farmer who prac­tices good soil conservation procedure witerever such is necessary to full crop produc­tion. Soil conservation, selec­tion of good seed and attention to good farming practices gen­erally always pay dividends. Animals, Fowls Experience Man's Disease Conditions Teetotaling dogs, turkeys and chickens which drink nothing stronger than water sometimes get the same diseases which human beings develop from over-indul­gence or hijh living. Veterinariaijs’ mcords show that turkeys and chickens sometimes develop gout, afd dogs and other animals get cirrhosis of the liver. Many other disetse conditions of man also are common to animals.

BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET The Go-Getter Son Learned To Take It Easy, Live Awhile -By BILLY ROSE- It was one of those days. What with the phones going, a show r^earsing in my theatre, and people popping in and out, my office was like backstage at an Olsen and Johnson musical.One of my appointments was with an ex-soldier who had recently re­turned from the Pacific. Like a thousand other kids, he was anxious to get a job in show business. I told him I ’d get in touch with him if any­thing turned up, and asked him to excuse the short interview because I was rushed. He smiled and walked to the door. “What are you grinning about?’I asked. “Oh, nothing,” he said. “I just happened to think of another fel­low who was in a hurry. The way he said it made me curious. “Tell me about the other fellow,” I said.“He was nobody important,” said t h e ex-G.l. “He and his father farmed a small piece of land, but except for their name and the patch of ground, they had little in Billy Eose common. T he old man believed in taking it easy. The son was the go-getter type. “One morning, they loaded the cart, hitched up the ox and set out for the city. The young fellow fig­ured that if they kept going aU day and night, they’d get to the market by next morning. So he walked alongside the ox and kept prodding ■it -with a stick. “ ‘Take it easy,’ said the old man. ‘You’ll last longer.’ “ ‘H we get to market ahead of the others,’ said his son, ‘we have a better chance of getting good prices.’• « * “THE OLD MAN pulled his hat down over his eyes and went to sleep on the seat. Four miles and four hours down the road, they came to a little house. ‘Here’s your uncle’s place,’ said the father, wak­ing up. Xet’s stop in and say hel­ lo.’ '"W tfiie lost an hour already,’ complained the go-getter."Then a fete minutes more uiot/t matter,’ said bis father. 'My brother and I live- so close, yet we see each other so seldom.’ “The young man fidgeted while the two old gentlemen gossiped away an hour.“On the move again, the father took his turn leading the ox. When they came to a fork in the road, the old man directed the ox to the right. ‘The left is the shorter way,’ said the boy. “ ‘1 know it,’ said the old man, ‘but this way is prettier.’“ ‘Have you no respect for time?’ asked the impatient young man.“ ‘I respect it very much,’ said the older fellow. ‘That’s why I like to use it looking at Sowers.’ “The right-hand path led through woodland and wild flowers. The young man was so busy watching the sun sink he didn’t notice how lovely the sunset was. Twilight found them in what looked like one big garden. ‘Let’s sleep here,’ said the old man. “ ‘This is the last trip I take with you,’ said his son. ‘You’re more in­terested in flowers than in making money.’* • • ‘“ THArS THE NICEST thing you’ve said in a long time,’ smiled ■ m A Certain Cure HAVE often known a heart to find quids com­ fort Through reaching out to help anoflier’s woe. There is a healmg in it, a forgetting O f one’s own self that starts an inner glow O f warmth and light where there had been but ashes. Sodden and gray because o f some deep grief. And suddenly a golden flame starts singing Because another’s heart has found relief. Aaoss the world there are so many burdens Long borne by shoulders bent beneath their load. A cure for care^-a healing of one’s sorrow May be found in the lifting of a load. The sharing of it with some staggering brother. . O burdened one, to find a certain peace Go forth, reach out to help where help Is needed. And surely your own quivering hurt w ill cease. GRACE NOLL CROWELL the old fellow. A minute later, he was asleep. "Before sunrise, the young man shook hit father awake and they went on. A mile doten the road, they came upon a farmer trying to pull his cart from a ditch. I jf s give him a band,' said the father.“ 'And lose more timef asked the son. " ‘Relax,’ said the old man. The Fiction CALI A DOaOR By Richard H. Wilkinson Corner OGDEN TURNED muttered, then over in bed, sat bolt up­right. There was a wild, unholy light in his eyes. Great globules of perspiration stood out on his fore­ head. His hands felt cold and clam­ my. For a moment he sat rigid and tense. Slowly he relaxed. Then he switched on the bedside light. Five a.m. In four and a half hours it would be over. He would have en- ^ _ ^ _ _ ^ _ _ _ ^ te re d Mr. Mitch- ell’s office and 3* Minute I said, in effect: Fielion ‘‘Mr. Mitchell, Ificiion ^you for three years. I am a valued employee and feel that I deserve more money.” And Mr. Mitchell would reply— Well, what would Mr. Mitchfell re­ ply? He got out of bed without waking his wife. It was 5:30 and still dark. He went into the bath­room and turned on the shower.At 6 o’clock, fully dressed, he came downstairs. He put cof­fee on to boil, set a frying pan over a gas jet, cnt open an orange, plugged in the toaster. Presently he sat down to eat. He ate automatically. Food was taste­less in his mouth. He left the house without waking Helen. Durmg the half hour it took him to reach the office he was be­ set by all sorts of terrifying fancies. He grew hot. then cold. He changed his mind twice about approaching Mr. Mitchell. He thought he’d post­ pone the ordeal. Then he pictured himself coming home to Helen. Helen was proud of him. What woidd she think if he had to admit lacking the courage to face a com­mon ordinary man like Mr. Mitch­ell? Now. there was sometliing. Mr. Mitchell was. after all, nothing more than a common ordinary man. Like himself. Built the same way. Capable of having toothaches and stomachaches and liking his “Good Lord, call a doctor!” eggs fried only on one side. Just a man. Ogden tried to picture himself in Mr. MitcheH’s position. What would he do if w employee of three years asked for a raise? What? Why. he’d look at the matter coldly, im- oetgwnally. He’d add things up and decide whether or not the employee was worth more to him in dollars and cents. He’d try to figure out in his own mind how little he could get away with paying. Ah! There was something now. if yon asked for a raise, act as flioosh yon deserved it. Give Uie impression that the possibility you weren’t ■ worth more never entered your head.It was merely a matter of ar­riving at a figure. People spoke to Ogden when he entered the office. Then they looked at him curiously. He dasn’t the same. He was Ul. Or perhaps he had a hangover. He seemed pale. His hands trembled when he hung up his hat. He was sweating. Per­haps he should call a doctor. At 9:05 Mr. Mitchell .came in, nodding and speaking to every­one as he always did. Ogden opened his mouth to reply, but no sound came. He wet his lips, started to rise, sat down again weakly. Mr. Mitch­ell’s door opened. Mr. Mitchell came out. "Ogden!” he yelled, and his voice had a rasping sotmd. Ogden jumped. What had he done now? Certainly Mr. Mitch­ ell acted as though he was go­ ing to baU him out. Perhaps fire him. Good. Firing would be a relief. It wonld settle the whole problem. He conld tell Helen that he had asked for a raise and Mitchell had fired him and it was her fault. Mr. Mitchell was behind his desk when Ogden entered. "Ogden, I’ve been thinking about you. You've proved yourself val­uable to the firm. That western deal now. You did a good job. You have the sort of stuff we need in this organization. I’m the sort of man who believes in paying a man what he’s worth. Now, I need a junior partner. If you’re interested I’d like to groom you for the post. You’d start at double-your present salary. Then in a year—Hey! Miss Ryan! Quick, a glass of water. Og­den's fainted! Good Lord, call a doctor!” CiSSWOii PilILf lAST WEEK'S ANSWER 9 QOQEl BaOQ ACROSS 42. God 12.MUkfiah □□□Da □□□□□1.

Suddenly a great flash of lightning split the sky. Then there was thunder. Beyond the hills, the heavens grew dark.“ ‘Looks like a big rain In the city,’ said the old man.“ ‘If we had been on tune, we’d be sold out by now,’ grumbled his son.“ ‘Take it easy,’ said the old gentleman. You’ll last longer.’ "It urasa't until afternoon that they got to the top of the hill overlooking th e town. They looked down at it for a long time.

You don’t have to worry about my getting that way.” Perhaps the reason is that he was born in Hollywood, and that both his parents are actors. In New York to help publicize his new pic­ture, the sensational “All the King’s Men,” Derek wanted to see the city, but got very little opportunity. Columbia press agents booked him so solidly for photo layouts and interviews, sis well as for appear­ances on the radio, that he never really had any time for sightsee­ing. Donald Woods, popular leadisg man, joins Bing Crosby and a star laden cast in “Mr. Music” ; it’s his first Paramount picture since made “A Son Comes Home” witSi Mary Boland 12 years ago. In r ^ cent years Woods has been concen­trating on radio—is currently being heard as wealthy "Richard Rhine­lander” on “My Friend Irm a.” He plays another rich young man in "Mr. Music.” . Use of a helicopter as a traveling camera crane proved to be s?o ef­fective for chase scenes in “They Uye By Night’’, that RKO is now using one regularly as camera car­rying equipment. In this case the plane also had its value as an aia to drama; it hovered over the play­ers, to create the feeling of a re­lentless fate pursuing them—and worked fine. Jane Greer will break away from dramatic and romantic roles In “The Richest Girl in Jail,” an original comedy which has been bought for ber by RKO. As a very rich girl who lands in a small-town jail she will be a comedienne. Joseph Julian, who plays the de­tective, “Sam Cook,” bn CBS’s “Mysteiy Theatre,” literally talks w it^ his hands.

La., has taicen more titan 60 bottles of HADACOL in the past four years and he considers his HADACOL money brought rich divi­dends iwcause today he is happy, healthy and able to do any Idnd of wwlc while two years before taking HADACOL he was onable to do work of any kind. **I was first taken with stomach sickness eight years ago,” said Mr.Meaux.“Iwas 80 run down that my friends ^ not even knew me. For two years I was aa- able to do work of any kind. Hy food did not agree with me. I suffered diges- live disturbances. I had difficuliy Blr. Meanx sleeping and my diest seemed to be stopped np most of the time. *1 thought 1 would never be aUe to work agaoi and had just about given np hope vAen I was advised to take HADACOL. Alter the second bottle at HADACOL I began to feel better, sle» better and started gaining mnch needed weight Today at 68 1 am a hialthy and happy man because I gave HADA­COL a t i ^ I took abwt 30 bottles of HADACOL the first year, and in the past three years I have taken another 30 bottles of HADACOL to help me stay well.”Mr. Means and his son were both suffering from a lack of B ^ntamins and Minerals which HADACOL con­tains. HADACOL comes to yon in liquid form, easUy assimilated in the Umd stream so tiiat it can go to work right away.A lack of only a small amount of B Vitamins and certain Minerals will cause digestive disturbances... Tour food will not agne with you. You will have an upset stomach... You will suffer from heartburn, gas pains and your food will sour on your stomach and yon will not be able to eat the tilings yon like 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 wiiich HAD­ACOL contains. And if you suffer from such a deficiency disorder, there is no known cure except the administration of the vitamins and minerals, which your system lacks.It is easy to understand, therefore, why countiess 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 under the sun, give this wonderful preparation, HADACOL, a trial. Don’t go on suf­fering. Don't continue t. 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 their systems needed. Be fair to yoursdf. Temporary relief is not enough for you. Give HADACOL a trial!Sold at all leading drug stores. Trial size only fl.26, but save money; buy the large family eooa- omy size. Only $3.50. If your drug­gist does not handle HADACOL, order direct from The LeBIane Cor­poration, Lafayette, La., and when the postman brings your package just pay the amount plus the e.oA and postage. If you remit with tiie order we '^1 pay the postage.Then, If you don’t feel perfecUr satisfied after using HADACOL a* directed, just return the emp^ ea»- ton and your money will be ehee^ fidly refunded.

Charles Tomlinson, and receive bags of Christmas goodies dispensed to the children by old Santa. The e.xercises were opened at 6:30, with the opening prayer by Rev. A. J. Cox, pastor of Mocks- ville Methodist Church. A short address of welcome was delivered bv Mayor John Durham. George H. Shutt was master of ceremon­ ies and conducted a quiz program. There was one boy in the crowd who didn’t know the name of the editor of The Davie Record, and another who didn’t know the ow­ ners of Mocksville Hardware Co. Another feliow had no idea where to find Shutt-Bawden Firestone Store, or Heffner & Bolick Store. “A prophet is not without honor save in his own country.” The evening was a big success despite the chilly amiosphere. The Christmas shopping season is now open. Read the ads in The Re­ cord and do your Christmas shop­ ping in Davie County. Election of Com­ mitteemen Who will administer such nat­ ional farm programs as Agricultu­ ral Conservation, price supports, acreage allotments, and marketing quotas in Davie County in 1950? The ballot box, traditional bul­ wark of democracy, will decide. On Dec. 15 th farmers in the county’s 15 agricultural communi­ ties will be choosing neighbors and friends to represent them as community Production and Mar­ keting Admini >tration farmer-com- mitteemen for the coming year. They will also choose a delegate from each community to a Coun­ ty Convention which will name the three-man county PMA Com­ mittee for 1950. A referendum committee will' be in charge of the polling place in each community where farmers can cast their ballots. “Any person is eligible to vote or hold office who is an owner, operator tenant or sharecropper on a farm that is participating in any program administered during the current calendar year through the county and community PMA committees,” says D. B. Miller, present county committee ch’m. "Heavy participation of farmers in their committeemen elections is one of the best methods of de- i monstrating their support of the ’ farmer-committee system of local administration of national farm programs,” the chairman joints out. Voting places will be an­ nounced next week. j Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Binkley, Ir., i and children', o f Gastonia; Mr. I and Mrs. J. F. Hickman and child­ ren, of Wilkisboro; Mr. and Mrs. Harold Binkle. and children, of Cleveland, and Mr. and Mrs. Jam-. es Binkley and children, of Salis-' bury, spent the Thanksgiving holi­ days in town with their father, Sam F.

Williams, who has serv­ ed for three years as agriculture teacher in the Mocksville High School, has resigned his position and entered upon his new duties as assistant county farm agent in Davie County. Mr. Williams suc­ ceeds J. Paul Bowles, who recent­ ly accepted a position as assistant county agent in Cabarrus County, with headquarters at Concord. The Record wishes these young men much success in their new fields of labor. We are sorry to lose Mr. and Mrs. Bowles,.but are glad to have Mr. and Mrs. Wil-^ Hams remain citizens of the best little town in the world.

DEVOTIONAL HEADING: PsaW 51! 1~13. Personal Religion Lesson for December 11, 1949 PLECTEICITY was discovered, " long ago, but there are millions of people today who never tise it and don't know anything about it. Modern plumbing has been in use ever since most of us were bom; but - most human be­ings still walk for their water instead of getting it from pipes. A ll inven­tions take quite a while to get around.So it is in the realm of the spirit. Jere­miah the prophet, it has been said, is the “man who discovered the in­dividual.” But 2700 years after his time, the individual needs redis­covering. Even in the church, some people live and act as if Jeremiah’s discovery had never been made.* « * A Man Stands Alone ALTHOUGH JEREMIAH was a ■** priest and aristocrat by birth, his own class disowned him. The story in Jeremiah'26 shows dram­atically why this was. He predicted doom for his nation, and since his own “upper-bracket” people were the nation’s leaders, they con­sidered Jeremiah’s attitude not only unpatriotic but a downright personal insult. If it had been left to the priests and the official prophets, the day of Jeremiah’s sermon at the temple would have been his last. To put it bluntly, the difference between Jeremiah and all the other “prophets” and priests could be put this way: He knew the nation was too rotten to last, but they thought It was plenty good enough. They probably could have agreed with him that a wicked nation de­serves divine punishment; only they could see nothing wrong with Judah. « « • Religion by Proxy? •1*HEY were mistaken many ways.

The clerk rushed to a box. took out a bar of soap, and almost threw It at the old woman, i^xclaiming. “Take it and get out, you old harri­dan of thunderation!”She smiled, wrapped it herself, •nd 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 soap.” nJlAX rtU'.V?

Six vegetables—c^m^ge, ruta­bagas', peas, asparagusi cauliflower, and spinach—were tested for vita­ 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 three 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. It was in a hotel dining room.

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. H the brush comes in a paper wrapper, remove the wrapper and ■ work the raw lin.seed 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 nil t'’rough it. Then wipe off the turpentine on the edge of a can and rotate the bru.sh rapid­ ly between your hands to throw off any remaining turpentine. And be sure to clean yotir brush immediately after usin? it. Don’t let it stand in a can of paint over night. 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 pav nim?”“Not exactly,” rejoined the ex perienced traveler. “ 1 take back one coin and return it to my pocket, for when he smiles, I know I have paid him too much ” "LitUe Corsican” At the peak of his power, Napo­leon imprisoned the captured PopeI Pius VII at Fontainebleau.

MMl-Fed Babies Thtve in Nebraska Experiment Meat fed by bottle, a new idea for yoting babies, proved success­ful in tests with 18 infants, made recently by Ruth Leverton of the Nebraska experiment station in cooperation with the babies’ physi­ cian. Strained beef, veal, pork and iamb—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 flie protein content of each formida 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 re­ ceived 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 charge considered them in better physical condition. Most significant, however, is the fact that none of the meat-fed babies developed the anemia char­acteristic of their age, and that the meat apparently promoted the formation of hemoglobin and red blood cells. Iodine from Oil Wells Iodine spouting from oil wells has given America an independent sup­ply of one 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 1,500.-000 pounds of iodine which Ameri­ ca uses each year. Utilization of iodine-bearing oil brine also pre­vents its contaminating West coast water and killing fish. Iodine, chief­ ly used as a germacide, forms a vital element in cattle feed and photographic film as well as in th* making of dyes. Farmers’ Co-oneratives 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 with5,400.000 at the end of the previotts year. This total, however, does not accurately reflect the number of farmers who belong to marketing or purchasing cooperatives, be­cause many farmers belong to more than one organization, FCA said. Minnesota headed the list of states, with 602,000 farmer coopera­tive members. Illinois was second with 542,000, and Wisconsin was third with 334,000 members. New Hormone ACTR 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 American Meat institute on all of its' members slaughtering hogs. The hormone is adrenocor- ticatropin, called AC’TH, 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 re­ lief of severe pain, particularly in cases of arthritis and gout. Myas­thenia gravis is a disease in which the muscles waste away, and be­come progressively weaker. Improved Antomotive Finishes Twenty years ago, more than 300 hours were required to com­plete the finishing of an automobile. A modem schedule ■ requires less than 12 hours from the time a body is delivered to the paint shop until it is ready, fully trimmed and fin­ished, 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 deco­rative and protective finish with resulting benefits to the consumer. Origin of Confections Pills—containing evil-tasting med­icine—are responsible for introduc ing candy to our civilization, ac­cording to research exp'erts. This strange development got its start some 500 years ago when Eng­lish “pill-rollers” besan coat'n® their medicine with sugar to dis­guise the bad taste. Before long, the sugar-coated pills were so pop­ular that the medicine was left out and the pills were made only of sugar.

Cement Faints Portland cement paints are de­signed essentially for interior and exterior concrete, stucco and ma- i'onry stirfaces. 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. When you sign up to buy U. S. Sav­ings Bonds reg-Jiarly each payday through the Pay."

Sin Imprisons Rev. W. E. Iieahimr. HMb Potot. N. C. R4 I have been twice lecendy to see men in prison, and to speak with them. It is sad to enter jail and look through the iron bars at those who are locked behind them, realiz. ing that sin is to blame for it. In. deed sin imprisons. Not only does it oftentimes send men to the jail hoases, but It puts them on tbe chaingang and in tbe penitentiary. It likewise puts thousands in the insane a.ylnms, or institutions, of tbe world. Then we think of it from another standpoint, it puts multitudes in the hospitals and sonds many down to the grave. O bo w dangerous, undermining, treacherous, deceiving and destruc. tive is sini Why on earth do the masses of mankind want to serve sin and devil, knowing how hurt­ ful, injnrioas and destniPtive it is, and bow It puts millions in or beds of affliction, and finally sends them to hell? It seems that nobody wonid want to live for the devil wreck and destroy tbeir bodies, theT lives, their souls forever. This is very bard to nnderstand. We know the reasonable and com. mon sense thing Is to live for God, have His love and grace in our lives, save ourselves from imprison* ment, from sickness and disease, and finally save our souls from hell and to heaven. To live for God and all that is good, noble and uplifting, and that will get us to heaven, is reasonable and shows our best sense and reveals our best judgment; but to live in sin and wickedness, and suffer for it here, and then suffer hereafter and for. ever and ever, shows one’s worst season and his poorest sense and judgment. Yes, sin imprisons. We wonder why it is that men will live in sin, commit crime, serve out a sentence in orison, knowing that the devil caused it, and that sin is to blame, and yet go right on in the servise of the devil and sin. Some times men will serve out a sentence, and when they are set free, they go on serving the same devil that sent them to prison, and again commit Clime and have to serve out sent, ence dgain, and maybe again. It looks like they would get tiled of serving such a tastmaster as the devil and turn to God and he set free in heart, mind, soul and spirit. The Silent Thief Of all the hundreds of methods of levying and collecting taxes, one ot the least understood bv the pub. lie and the m ad dishonest of them all Is that of calculated inflation It is a form of ta x itio n which uot only reduces purchasing power of current earnings, but also eats hea ily Into savings. It enables gov* einraents to pay off debts, obliga­ tions and such promises as pens, io ns welfare benefits, assistance to handicapped persons and what not with monev which becomes pro., gressively cheaper and worthless. Tbe progress of calculated infia. tion can be of the qnick type as, during the early twenties in Cen tral Europe and more recently in China, or it can he so slow as to be almost imoerceptiblo. In either case it is* a form of secret larceny. It IS more reprehensible than the (..ethods by which medevial princes used to enrich themsrlves when they called in outstanding gold and silver coinage and debased the me tals. It is thievery against which no insurance and little protection is available.— Statesville Daily A few land post­ ers left.

Since there are several thousand varieties available to the average gardener, he needs some sort of a guide to help in the selection of plants that will do well in his par­ticular section of the country.To this end, the system of “pre­testing” requires that new varieties undergo a two-year period of trial in gardens located throughout the country before they are put on the market. During the trial period, they are thoroughly studied under widely varied soil and climatic con­ditions.Test gardens are located at lead­ ing universities, nurseries and municipal gardens where impartial experts study the plants under ac­tual growing conditions. Each plant is carefully checked for such characteristics as hardiness, frag­rance, length of flowering period and all other important qualities of a top flight rose. Plants are identified only by a code number and scored on the basis of a uni­form pomt system. Only those meeting rigid standards over the two-year trial period may be awarded the coveted designation of "All-America Rose Selection.” Help for Night Blindness Seen in Action of Niacin Recent studies have revealed that niacin, of the vitamin B family- known as a pellagra preventive— is also important in the mechanism of seeing, according to the Better Vision institute.The retina contains a red sub­stance called rhodopsin, which bleaches when exposed to light. The bleaching causes the chemical pro­cesses responsible for seeing, in­cluding the making of yellow sub­stance called retinene, which is converted to colorless Vitamin A. necessary for night vision. The Vitamin A is joined to a protein to produce more rhodopsin, and the cycle continues. .The recent research =hows tba* the conversion of retinene to vita­min A is brought about by the action of niac'n. This discovery is expected to aid in the treat'^—* of visual difficulties, especially forms of night blindness.The importance of vitamins A and B to e.yes makes an A-B-C of eyes, the Better Vision in.stiUife points out—the three Cs being Care. Correction, and Conservation. The mother thought her little girl ought to be examined for any pos­sible abnormal tendencies, so she took the tot to a psychologist.

Our County And Social Security Bv Mrs. Ruth G. Duffv. Manager. With the approaching holiday season, there will be many of you in Mocksville and nearby com­ munities going to work ?or a short period. Every year about this time we receive many inquiries from both employers and emplovees who believe that part-time work is not covered by the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance program. Many also think tliat the law applies only if th. employer has several persons working for him. The law covers all employees in business and industry, whether one person or several hundred, and regardless of whether the work is part-time or full-time. Now is the time to 'start look­ ing for that Social Security Card that vou have carefully put away. The employer may hire some one else if you don’t have it with you when applying for work. If you have never had an ac­ count number, you should apply for one. But if you have had a number and have lost your card, you should apply for a duplicate card. Don’t ask for a new card. This causes confusion and might cause you to lose benefits in the future. Application blanks can be obtained at your local post of­ fice. They should be mailed to the Social Security Administration 437 Nissen Building, Winston-Sa­ lem, N, C. Now a word of caution to the girl who has married since she re­ ceived her Social Security Card. You should let us know if vou have married. If so, we will issue another card to you which will show your new nam but your original Social Security Account Number. Employers can save themselves and our office a lot of bother if they will demand to see the em­ ployee’s Social Security Card. Me­ mory can play a lot of tricks. Em­ ployers should report the name and number exacdv as they are shown on the card. Remember, a Social Security Card i^ the key to your insurance account with the Federal Government. Do your part and make sure that all your earnings are credited to your ac­ count by furnishing your card and number to all of your employers.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. Jimmy Coming Along r LOOKS LIKE Jimmy Roose­ velt is definitely coming into his own. Once a callow youth, flounder­ ing under the weight of a famous name, Jimmy dealt with almost anybody who came along. At one time he was the political pal of Mayor James Curley of Boston. Another time his life insurance sales to George Washington Hill of the American tobacco company didn’t help the Roosevelt family. However, Jimmie is 42 now, and the years have done something to him. He has excellent political judgment. He is careful about friends. And most important of aU, he is now able to chart a straight political course. Jimmy knows what he wants and goes after it. One of the most interesting de­velopments about Jimmy Roosevelt is the group of youngsters around him. It is reminiscent of the young Democrats of his father’s day, the young people who would fight and die politically to defend the name of Roosevelt. Those young Demo­crats of 1933 have now put on age, in some cases mould and crust. But a new generation has come along in California and their adora­tion of Jimmy Roosevelt is prob­ ably greater than that once given his father. Jimmie is amazingly popular in California. When he goes into a restaurant, a political meeting or any place where people gather the music stops, or else begins, or a whisper sweeps over the room. Ton can write it down that he can win the Democratic nomination for governor in a walk, whether Truman supports him or not. Note — The President’^ ire at those who supported Eisenhower before the Philadelphia convention has changed toward Mayor O’Dwy- er of New York, Jack Avery, the political boss of Chicago; Senator Douglas of Illinois and various others. His peeve against Jimmy Roosevelt probably results not so much from the Eisenhower inci­dent but from his jealousy for all things Rooseveltian. • • • Sherman Shows Spunk On the west coast where the ad­mirals first hatched their revolt things are a lot different now that Adm. Forrest Sherman has taken over the navy helm. He’s steering a steady course and rebellious ad­mirals are climbing back aboard. Sherman’s policy is friendly but firm. He demonstrated that he could use an iron hand not only by abol­ishing Operation 23, the navy propaganda unit, but by cracking down on another navy propaganda nest at Pensacola, Fla. There the navy was even mimeographing form letters of complaint to con­gressmen, then handing them out to the congressmen’s constituents to sign. But Admiral Sherman sent his deputy, Adm. John Price, to Pen­sacola, and stopped the smear campaign. Adm. John Reeves, in charge of the operation, is being replaced and will retire in April. Simultaneously, Sherman showed he wasn’t a yes-man by letting Capt. John Crommelin oft with a sharp rebuke. This was a decision which Rear Adm. George Russell, the navy judge advocate, urged Sherman to duck, and dump in the lap of Secretary of the Navy Matthews. But Sherman replied: “Crom­melin is under my command, and I’ll take the responsibility.” Though Sherman had been smeared by his fellow admir­als as a "Quisling,” he didn’t barge into his new office swing­ing the ax. He started by “go­ing to school,” and calling in each bureau chief to bring him up to date on naval affairs. Result: peace and order is be­ginning to come back to the armed forces. Note: Admiral Sherman decided upon a naval career at the age of six when he first set foot on a battleship, the U.S.S. Kentucky. As early as 12 he showed his seaman- shdp and spunk while sailing off the New England coast in a whaleboat with his grandfather. Several miles off shore, his grandfather died at the helm, and young Sherman brought the boat home safely through choppy water. He h a s waters just as choppy to sail through in his new po'St.• • • Row Over Subsidies Two neighboring governors — J. Bracken Lee of Utah and John W. Bonner of Montana—got into a row oven nine subsidies the other day at a clos^ meeting of 13 western governors'^ at Salt Lake City.The row started after the gover­ nors heard a mining industry spokesman, Carl Trauerman, plead for Iiigher tariffs, a free gold mar­ket and—of all things—^federal sub­sidies. This is the first time the mining industry has joined the cry for a handout. --------WEEKLY news ANALYSIS-------- Unified Transport Board Proposed; U.S. Prestige Snffering in China; Federal Tax, Debt Slash Demanded (EDITOR'S NOTE: When aplnlons ar* expressed In these colmnns. they are those of Western Nevspsper Union’s news analrsts and not neoessarlljr of this newspaper.* TRUMAN GETS FIRST CHRISTMAS SEALS . . . President Truman accepts the first sheet of 1949 Christmas seals from Dr. James E. Perkins, managing director of the National Tubercu­losis association. The seal campaign was to run from November 21 to December 25 to help raise fonds for the campaign to eradi­cate tuberculosis which kills nearly 50,000 Americans each year. T R A N S P O R T : Policy Board Asked A move to establish a central policy board to integrate and su­ pervise United States programs covering air, water, rails and high­ways was to be urged upon Presi­dent Truman. Charles Sawyer, comme— ■ secretary, was the cabi­net mi :r who would broach the matter . .ne President. According to proponents of the move, it would save the taxpayers a big part of the 1.5 billion dollars now being spent by the individual agencies having to do with various forms of transportation. THE REPORT on the matter, which is to go to the President, may call for studies as to whether the government should impose “user charges” on the air and trucking lines, shipping firms and railroads which benefit from federal outlays on highways, aii^orts, harbor work and other facilities. It was said the commerce secre­tary’s report was now in the rough- draft stage after talks with all agen­ cies concerned. According to supporters of the move, it was designed only to effect an efficient national transportation ^stem , with high emphasis on mil­ itary usefulness—at lowest possible costs in federal outlays. HOWEVER, most Americans and certainly the transportation com­panies would see quite a great deal more in the proposal, especially in the mention of a “users’ charge” plan. To tax the transportation agencies for use of highways, air or sea lanes, would mean nothing more than in­ creased cost to patrons of these agencies, which would mean added tax, but under another name. With railroads already granted passen­ ger fare rates over large sections of the country, with air lines scream­ing for subsidies and with the mer­chant marine requiring subsidy if it is to remain in action, the “users’ charge” proposal was certain to meet with monumental opposition. The people, at long last, were be­ coming aware of the growing hypoc­risy in federal promises of better service and cheaper costs,, by add­ing to the price of this or that com­modity or service vital to the peo­ple. T H E B A R K L E Y S : "I Do's" Are Said The “I do’s” were said, quips were traded at the reception, the shouting and tumult were over, and Vice-President Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky and Mrs. Carleton S. Hadley, of St. Louis, were joined in holy wedlock. IT was'a May and December ro­mance that had caught the fancy of all America. Mr. Barkley’s woo­ing activities were as much a part of the nation’s front-page news as were arguments over what Russia was doing with the atomic bomb— if she had one. Everybody wished the Barkleys well. Everyone agreed that the "Veep,” as he prefers to call him­self, was quite a better man physi­ cally at 71 than is the average male. His stamina and good health under the gruelling pressure of a presidential campaign and as a senate leader, eloquently attested that fact. His continual good humor, his courtly air, his genuine “gen­tlemanliness,” all counted high in his favor in any prediction as to how this marriage would fare. Shah Urges Peace A second distinguished visitor from the East in almost as many weeks had urged the United Na­tions to bring about peace — par­ticularly for the smaller, weaker nations. A peace, he suggested, that would permit these nations to build toward social justice and prosperity. This second petitioner was Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi of Iran, visiting young monarch, whose na­tion has had nervous relations with its Gargantuan neighbor, Soviet Russia. The Shah, a personable po­tentate who became popular with an the throngs who had seen him, was in the U. S. for a week’s state visit. U .S . P R E S T IG E : Suffers in China The prestige of the United States was suffering in China and wasn’t gaining any ground elsewhere as a result of the fence-sitting policy on what to do about U. S. consul gen­eral Angus Ward, a prisoner of- the Chinese Communists. Ward and four consular attaches were being held incommunicado in Mukden on charges they beat up a Chinese workman in the consulate some weeks ago. NO ONE wanted war and there was no intention of jingoism in charges of U. S. indifference to Ward’s plight and its own prestige that were being hurled generally. It just looked bad for the most powerful nation in the world—al­ready up to the shoulders in a pres­sure war with Russia—to let Rus­sian-dominated Chinese hold a top consular official. As even a schoolboy Icnows, “face,” or prestige, is a great thing in the oriental mind, and if the U. S. planned ever to do any­thing about recovering China from the Communists, a sustained hands- off policy in the Ward incident wouldn’t aid the effort T A X A T IO N : Cut Demanded One figure in government, an­other important figure, once in, now out, joined coincidentally enough in a demand for a cut in federal spending and taxation. THE GOVERNMENT FIGURE, Virginia’s Democratic Sen. Harry Byrd, declared in Washington that federal spending could be cut as much as 10 billion dollars without impairing government functions. In Biloxi, Miss., James F. Byrnes, former U. S. senator and one-time secretary of state, sharp­ly criticized administration spend­ing and called for a cut in federal taxes and public debt. BYRD INSISTED that the spend­ing slash he urged could be brought about by eliminating recent in­ creases in “more than 30 budget items;” a two billion dollar cut in “nonessential and deferable spend­ing through "prompt and effective” unification of the armed services. Byrnes declared the nation’s “real trouble is debt and taxes. We cannot cure it by more debt and more taxes. We should devote to cutting expenditures some of the thought we are devoting to taxing and borrowing.” These views would endear neith­er gentleman to President Truman who is always less polite to critics of his spending policies. PCNSION COSTS UP Social Security Taxes to Be Hiked Jan. 1 Beginning January 1, 1950, some 39 million workers and 2.75 million employers would be dipping into earnings to pay Uncle Sam 667 million dollars more annually in the cost of social security. On that date, worker contribu­ tions would be one and ene-half cents on each dollar earned, while employers would pay a similar per cesA on total payrolls. The old system, which included only a 1 per cent levy, was changed when congress enacted a law hik­ing the levy, by % per cent. It was pointed out that there will be no change in the schedule of benefits, despite the tax raise. Under a bill passed by the house and pending in the senate, pension taxes*might go even higher. Many hoped they wouldn’t. C H IN A : A New Try? The situation in China appeared to be thoroughly static, although minor maneuvers would confuse the casual observer. Chinese Reds seemed easily in the saddle and likely to remain there barring some militant action from the West—a wholly improbable occurrence.THE UNITED STATES and the United Nations had asked 30 coun­ tries to join in a demand on Chi­nese Communists that U. S. Consul A n^s Ward be freed, and those nations agreed. But there was little said about what would be done if the Reds doi'lined to free the U S consular official.In another move, the ailing Li Tsimg-jen, acting president of the practically defunct Nationalist re­gime since Chiang Kai-shek “re­ tired” some months ago, might at­tempt to form a third Chinese gov­ernment, independent of both the Reds and Chiang. Informed quar­ters in Hong Kong speculated to some extent on the possibility of such a maneuver.FOREIGN OBSERVERS arriv­ing in Hong Kong argued that it was fair speculation that Li might attempt to form an anti-Commu- nist, anti-Chiang organization and go to the United States to seek sub­ stantial material aid. According to these sources, Li was expected to go to Washington soon to bolster the aid pleas of his personal con­tact man, Kan Chich-hou, who has been there several months.But wouldn’t Li be whistling up a drain pipe in any effort to involve American cash in a China venture which for all practical purposes has been written off the !}ooks?If Chiang, with the Nationalist government behind him and sup­ported by extensive U. S. funds' and arms, couldn’t stem the Red tide, how could Li believe he could con­vince the U. S. that he could do it, especially since he’d have to split Chiang’s forces and followers to get any followers of his own? E IS L E R : Better Stay PutGerhart Eisler, th e balding, chunky little Communist who fled the U. S. aboard the Polish-owned ship Batory while on bail on a con- tempt-of-congress charge, had bet­ter stay put in the Russian zone of Germany.THE UNITED STATES supreme court emphasized that advice when it rejected Eisler’s appeal, a ruling which meant Eisler faced a $1,000 fine and possible imprisonment if he returned to America. Eisler had attracted widespread notoriety because of reports that he was the Number One Commimist in Amer­ica. WhUe on bail, Eisler left America by stowing away on the Batory. He went first to England, which re­ fused to hold him for U. S. action, and then to Russian-held Germany. Recently he was named chief of the newly-formed Soviet zone in­formation ministry. THE CASE against Eisler arose when he refused to be sworn as a witness before the house un-Amer­ican activities committee. P A N A M A : No Blood It wasn’t at all like the comic opera impression of banana republic revolutions with all the shooting and the fury. In fact there was no shooting, no blood. However, every­thing had been planned for the real ingredients of a revolt, but last- minute intervention by the diplo­matic corps, including U.S. Ambas­sador Monnett D. Davis, prevented any violence.INSTEAD, Police Chief Col. Jose Remon took the stage as Panama’s “strong man” and forced the resig­nation of President Daniel Chanis, the surgeon-politician who had held office only four months.Vice-President Roberto F. Chi- ari was sworn in after a night of feverish activity involving plans for a threatened police attack on the presidential palace. Fighter Dr. Tingfu Tsiang, China’.s representative on toe United Nations, has served notice be will fight any effort by the Chi­nese Communist government to oust him from his post. IR IS H : Ready to Fight The Irish, according to a prouij nent spokesman, were ready to figh if necessary to regain the six British controlled counties of Northern Ire land.The spokesman was Gen. Thoma. Barry, a retired Irish army officei who was in the U.S. to speak at ar anti-partition rally of the Uniteo Irish Societies of Western Pennsyl vania. The general was a hero f- the Irish rebellion. SCRIPTUBE: Isaiah 7:14; Jeremiah 29; 31: Ltike 1.DEVOTIONAL BEADING: Psalm 139: MO. Is God Available? Lession for December 18, 1949 Foreman T\OES GOD EXIST? Yes. There ^ is every good reason to believe that he does. But when we have an­swered that question in the affirm­ative, we have not settled the most important questions of religion. There are the other two questions of equal importance: What kind of God is he? and. Is he avail­ able? Let us give some thought to this last question.One of our Christ­mas carols begins,“Draw nigh, draw nigh, Immanuel!” Immanuel is one of the names by which Jesus is 'caUed, for the Christian church has always read Isaiah 7:14 as a proph­ ecy of Jesus Christ. The name means “God with us” and is the an­swer to the deepest cry of the heart. God in heaven far away, God the Creator who set in motion this mighty universe, God the All-power­ful ruling beyond the stars, God the Eternal who knows neither youth nor age. Such a God has sometimes been believed in by men who neverthe­less walked in a dark cloud of lineliness, doubting that so great a God could possibly have any in­terest in their own affairs. Is God WITH us? Is God with US? Is GOD with us? That is the question that torments the tronbled mind. With one voice, the whole church of God ansWlers Tes; the name of the one in whose face we see the glory of God is named “God- with-us.” In the first chapter of the Bible we hear of a God who walked with his children in a garden. In the first chapters of the Gospels we hear songs to the God who has “vis­ited his people;” and in almost the last chapter of the Bible we hear the promise, “God himself shall be with them and be their own God.” “When ye shall search for him with all your hearts” MOST TRUTHS are two-sided. You have to keep both sides in mind or you will not fully under­ stand. God is with us yes; God is with all men, yes—that is, there are no favorites with him, he refuses his presence to no one. God is al­ways available, available to all. That is one side of the truth. The other side is this: God is not equally with all men. Some men are alienated from God. Some men are godless. Even among those with whom God lives, we may fairly say that God is with some in a higher degree, in fuller measure, than he is with others. Jeremiah gives the clue to this truth: “Ye shall seek me and fmd me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” (Jer. 29:13) Those who do not search for God will not find him. . Those whose search is half­hearted only half-find him. God does not enter uninvited. He is available, but he will ‘ not force his way in. We can see bow this is when we think about Christians we know. It does not make sense to say that they are all equally godly. We have known some great Christians of whom we might al­most dare to say that Paul’s prayer had been answered, that they have been “filled with the fullness of God.” (Eph. 3:19.) But in other Christians, who certainly have some small seed of faith in them, it may be hard even for a kindly observer to see many signs of God’s presence.* * • “Thou can’st, a Httle baby thing. . . .” Go d is in all things, he shines in all that’s fair,” as we sing the familiar hymn. But the center of the Christian faith is that God comes to man especially and most closely in Jesus Christ. No matter how strongly men believed in God in olden times, always they looked forward, as the prophets show, to a time when God would come nearer than he had been before. True, it was a surprise when finally be came to Bethlehem, “a little baby thing that made a woman cry.” A world accustomed to kings In purple robes, in w e 11-guarded castles, was surprised that the King of the Universe would be found as a child among the poor. But after all, which better repre­sents the All-Available God—a King- in a home palE that loves him?behind his palace waUs, or a child (Copyright by the International C oon^ ot Religious Education on behalf ot « Protestant denominations.

B R O A D W A Y A N D M A IN ST R E E T Real Roses in the Cheeks — You Call That a Handicap? ■ By BILLY ROSE- When Eleanor and I first moved up to Mt. Kisco, some of our neighbors dropped by to pay their respects, but I didn’t encourage these visits. The landed gentry of Westchester are mce enough folk, but they don’t talk my lingo. Besides, I see no point in culti­vating people who think it’s smart to chase a fox.But a Uttle down the road from us live a couple I cultivate as often as they’ll have me. Their names are Fred and Jane Newell. I met them through Eleanor two years ago, and I ’ll never forget the first night we had dinner at their house. Jane answered the doorbell. She was pretty all over, and I liked her right away. “Excuse the peasant skirt,” she said. “I have a baby penciled in for the fall.” Fred was in the living room listening to the radio. He had the tweedy look of the good guy in the women’s magazine stories. We talked for a couple of minutes before I realized he w a s ijfc JjH blind. He told me E v ^ writer,and answered my .naaB unspoken question B illy Eose by explaining he dictated his stuff to his wife. It was a fine dinner and a fine evening. Jane carried her child as if baby-having were some kind of party. Around eleven o’clock, Fred said to Jane, “Maybe the Roses would like ice cream.” “Maybe they would,” said Jane, "but we haven’t any. I’U drive down to the village and get some.” “I’U go with you,” I said, “just to make sure you don’t forget chocolate.” ON THE WAY to the ice-cream parlor I said, “Tell me something. What makes you kids act as if you had a gold mine in the cellar?” Jane smiled. "I dot^t ktiow. I guess we’ve been pretty lucky.""Lucky!" I said, and then stopped, embarrassed. "It’s all right," said Jane. "Of course, it would be nicer if Fred could see, but neither of us thinks thafs very important."“How’d it happen?”“War stuff,” said Jane. "Frag­ ments of a land mine on Okinawa. We weren’t married then. Fred was moved to a hospital in San Fran­cisco. The first letters he sent me weren’t in his own handwriting. He explained that he was dictating to a nurse because he’d been wounded in the right hand.“At the time, he still had some hope that a special operation m i^ t restore his sight. He didn’t want to tell me about his eyes until he knew for sure.« • * “WELL, THE OPERATION was acomplete miss-out. When Fred knew he’d never see again, the dam fool wrote me that I was free to marry anybody I Uked. Of course, I hopped a plane to San Francisco and got ray fella.”“Atta girl,” I said. “Now tell me to shut my face if I’m out of line, but doesn’t it ever bother you—I mean, making this sacrifice?” "Sacrifice, my foot" said Jane softly. "Look at it this way. I'm two years away from 30. In 10 Thorns S HARP were che thorns on my Saviour’s brow,, Forked and crimson-stained. And dll the iaft sharp breach was drawn. They remained.

Wilkinson Corner IT IS ELECTION TIME in our town of Dexter. A1 Slater is de­termined to be elected state repre­sentative from the 31st Belknap district. A1 has tried for three con­ secutive terms to win out' over Tyler Jenkins. At every election he_____________^had the vote~ sewed up. Bu t Q ■ Minute Tyler, who is one d Fielion shrewdestpoliticians a man would want to meet, always contrived to pull a fast one, two or three days before voting day, and succeeded in swinging the vote his way. “Folks think I’m dumb,” A1 con­fided to his wife. “It’s got to be a joke, me running for office against Jenkins.” AI began his campaign 10 months before election. He knew that folks in Dexter were eager to have the contemplated new state highway run through town. Instead of swing­ing off to the northward toward Bartlett. And he knew that if he could persuade the highway com­missioner to chart the course of the proposed, road through Dexter, it would mean a big thing; it would probably mean Al’s election. And so Al went to the capltol, looked up the highway commis­sioner, whose name was Hig­gins, and talked the thing over. At first Higgins was obstinate. The highway, he told Al, was scheduled to ran through Bart­lett. Well, Al didn’t get discouraged. He called on Mr. Higgins a month later and talked things over again. This time he took Mr. Higgins to lunch and bought tickets for the theater afterward. Higgins began to weaken. Al talked himself blue in “Folks think I’m dumb,” Al confided to bis wife. “It’s got to be a joke, me nmning against Jenks.” the face, and finally went away with a promise that Mr. Higgins would think the matter over. Al was mighty satisfied with him­self. A month before election a story came out in the papers that, through the efforts of Albert T. Slater, the new state highway would run through Dexter. Al r e c e iv e d a lot of credit for his work, and a lot of prom­ises of votes. Tyler disappeared shortly after that. He didn’t show up until two weeks before election, and then it was to announce a piece of news that overshadowed Al’s great work. Tyler, it seemed, had made a trip to the capitol himself. He had con­sulted the proper authorities and received a promise that the state wotdd employ local labor in con­structing tliat section of the road. The news was something to Cheer about. It began to look as If Tyler had pulled another fast one. Well, Tyler might have been elected if news hadn’t drifted back into town that the state, because of adverse business conditions, had de­cided to abandon the idea of build­ing the road that year. Al made a hurried trip to the capitol. He didn’t return during the next week, and folks began to for­get he was even a candidate. And then on the day before elec­tion one of the newspapers from the capitol that claims a fair-sized circulation in Dexter came out with the announcement that the road would definitely be put through. The words were a direct quotation from Commissioner Higgins, whose picture appeared on the front page alongside a picture of Al Slater. It was through Al’s efforts, the article read, that the cour^ of the road would pass through Dexter. Dexter was jabllant. At flie polls on the day following, Al was unanimously elected to fill the expired term of Tyler Jenk­ ins. “Dumb, am I?” Al said to his wife after it was over. “Well, this is one Tyler pulled his fast one too early in the game. He thought the psychcdogical moment was two weeks ago, instead of yesterday. I wonder,” he went on, “what Tyler would say if he knew I started that nmior about abandoning the road idea. I wonder if the folks would say I was dumb if they knew 1 just did it so's I could make it appear like I persuaded the state to change its mind on the day before election. Dumb, am I?

DeMiUe’s “Sam­son ad Delilah”, with magnifi­cent costumes designed by Editt Head largely responsible. A good deal of credit should be given, too, to the sets and to the exceUenI HED7 LAMARR color effects. In fact, this is a picture in which art directors, pho­tographers and others who never appear are among the stars. The scenes actually photographed in the Holy Land, Algiers and Moroc­co are beautiful and memorable. Film star Van Johnson and band­leader Elliot Lawrence are dead ringers for each other. Their resem­blance is so remarkable that some- time’s it’s difficult for them to con­vince autograph seekers they’re not each other. Dan Seymour never visits Hollywood, doesn’t have to to see movie stars; he sees as many in a year as a head- waiter at Giro’s. During the past 12 months, on "We the People” , Dan h a s interviewed such celebrities as Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Glenn Ford, Dick Haymes, Kirk Douglas, Janet Blair, John Payne, Marfe Wil­ son, Linda Christian, Tyrone Power, among others. Jane Wyatt was puzzled when crowds of visitors arrived at the Samuel Goldwyn studio to see her work in “Our Very Own” . She dis­covered that her 12-year-old son, Christopher, was responsible. He had been promising a trip to see his famous mother with every new subscription to a local paper he delivers. Ann Blyth, Farley Grang­er and Joan Evans co-star. The power of radio has never been better demonstrated than in the success of the fund raising project to aid the fight against polio which is being conducted on Horace Heidt’s “Youth Opportuni­ ty” and Ralph Edwards’ “This Is Your Life” shows. Helen Hayes’ appearance as one of the guest speakers on the former was touch­ing, since her daughter died of polio. No matter how he switched plane and train schedules, Don Ameche couldn't figure a way to get his whole family together for (3irist- mas. So he will have an early cele­bration with his two boys in school m Iowa, then ^end Christmas Day in New York with his wife, who accompanied him East for the Manhattan broadcasts of the .

Star, of Dec. 4th; Flavio Alvarez, 8 months, was in pretty good shape at Children’s hospital yesterday—but according to die doctor responsible for it, his recovery is a “miracle.”The child, born with an “upside- down” stomach, was brought to the hospital by plane from Canal Zone, arriving Thursday.Dr. Marshall C. Sanford, who examined him, found the child’s intestines, stomach and spleen had penetrated through a hole in his diaphragm. The pressure had col­ lapsed a lung, causing the baby to turn blue from lack of oxygen.A few hours later Sanford oper­ated, replacing the protruding or­ gans in the abnominal cavity. The Opening in the diaphragm was clo­sed, the collapsed lung re-expand­ ed, and the chest wound sewed up.Dr. Flavio Alvarez, father of the baby, attended the child during the trip from Panama. The doc­tor received his training at George­town university medical school and interned at Providence hos­pital. He told Sanford that when the diagnosis of diaphragmatic her­nia was made in Panama, doctors there were afraid to operate.Sanford was not. Yesterdav they took the baby out of his oxy­gen tent, and he has been eating.[The Record is proud of our own Dr. Marshall Sanford, and extends congratulations to this na­tive son of Mocksville. Dr. San­ford is a son of our townsman, R. B. Sanford and the late Mrs. Sanford.] Cotton Referen­ dum December 15 The first cotton referendum since before the war has been set for December 15, according to G. T. Scott, chairman of the State PMA committee. On that date growers in North Carolina and elsewhere in the nation will go to polling places to vote for or a- gainst continuing marketing quo­ tas. Marketing quotas on the 1950 crop were declared on October 13th by Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Branan. Marketing quotas will be in ef­ fect only if approved by at least two-thirds of the growers voting in the referendum. An^ person who has an interest in the crop as owner, tenant, or sharecropper is considered a grower and may vote even though he may have been engaged in cotton produc­ tion on more than one farm. “Marketing quotas furnish grow­ ers with a method of adjusting supply to demand and help grow­ ers obtain fair prices for the cot­ ton they produce,” Scott said. Davie farmers will vote from 8 a. m., to 5 p. m., tomorrow on the cotton marketing quota and for committee members for the coun­ ty at the following places: North Cal haln, Center Com­munity building; South Calahaln, Smoot’s store; E. Clatksville, Com­munity building; W. Clarksville, Bear Creek Church; N. Farming­ton, E. C. Hendrix store; S. Farm­ington, Smith Grove School; N. Fulton. Community building; S. Fulton, Community building; N. Jerusalem, Greasy Corner; S. feru- salem, Greasy Comer; N. and S. Modcsville, court hou.se; E. Shady Grove, Community building; W. Shady Grove, Robertson’s store.

It will cost you but little, and will be con­ stant reminder of your friendship. Mail or bring orders to The Record office. Postmaster Asks Co-operation In anticipation of a volume of mail even heavier than in prior years, postmaster James Kelly re­quests the co-operation of the pub­lic in the prepnration and early mailing of their greetings and gift parcels. Unsealed Christmas greetings sent as third-class mail without unauthorized writing enclosed are now chargeable with 2 cents pos­tage, if weight does not exceed 2 ounces. Christmas greeting sent as first-class mail with 3 cents pos- • tage affixed may be sealed and contain written messages; they are dispatched and delivered first; for­ warded, if necessary, and if unde­ liverable they are returned to the sender if the return address is shown on the envelope. Pack all articles carefully and wrap and tie securely with good quality paper and cord. To en­courage earlv mailing senders are 1 permitted to mark parcels, “Please' Do Not Open Until Christmas.” The wholehearted co-operation of the public in the matters out­lined will be greatly appreciated by the post office department and will facilitate the dispatch and de­livery of the Christmas mail. The Mocksville postoifice will remain open on Saturday after- j noon until 5 o’clock until Christ- (mas, for the benefit of those wish- ing to mail packages, letters, etc., I according to announcement by i Postmaster James Kelly. Now is the time to plan your poultry enterprises for 1950. Let’s give some thought to the breed­ ing stock you are going to buy. The baby chicks you buy to re­ place your layers should be from production bred flocks that are Pullorum Clean or Pullorum Pas­ sed. Place your order early if you want the best chicks. Early hatched chicks can be pro­ fitable if managed properly. Plan to replace all of the laying flock with pullets next falL Experimen­ tal work has shown that pullets \>ill lay about 25 per cent more eggs t .an old hens. Pullets will be in production in the Fall when egg prices are highest and the old hens molting, ^onomical use of the brooder house, range, laying house equipment can be made by, starting an earlv brood in January, another three months later. Don’t overlook a range rearing program for pullets next Spring, Summer and Fall. Better devel- j oped pullets are found where they have been raised on good poultry ranges. A field of Ladino Clover is considered to furnish the very finest grazing for poultry. For rat., time of seeding and seed mixture in your locality, see County Agent. E^s should be gathered often in extremely cold weather, espec­ ially hatching eggs. Eggs will freeze and crack at temperatures below 29 degs. F. Be sure to keep plenty of clean nesti .g material in the nest, A recent check of 520 North Carolina flocks showed that 24 per cent, had lice. Lice live on the birds at all times, and it is ne­ cessary that material used come in direct contact with the lice in or­der to eradicate them. Roost paints should be applied directly on the perch poles in late after­noon just prior to birds going to roost. Sodium Fluoride may be applied directly on the bird by the pinch method or a 1-pound can of Sodium Fluoride may be mixed with i bushel of fine or sifted wood ashes and placed in a large box or old tub for allowing the birds to dust themselves.

We’re talking, of course, about our 101 new streamlined coaches, all-room Pullmans, diners and lounge cars. They’ve been going into service almost daily since the first one reached Southern Railway tracks last July. Nearly all of these cars—ordered more than three years ago—will be in our trains by Christmas. Expensive? The price tag reads $11% million!

New Yo r k U.S. Has One of World's Highest Accident Rates CHICAGO.—The United States may have the highest standard of living in the world, but it also has one of the world’s highest acci­dental death rates. The U. S. rate in 1948 was 67.1 deaths per 100,000 population, as compared to a world-wide postwar average death rate of 48.9.Only three countries topped the accidental death rate of the United States — Iceland, Egypt and Austria. Those countries had rates of 71.5, 83.8 and 85.9 respectively in 1946.Mauritius, a British island near Madagascar, had the lowest re­ ported postwar accidental death rate of 25.9 in 1947.

It begins in the old Moravian conununity of Salem in October when the women start making the thousands of candles to be used in Moravian churches throughout the south at their Christ­mas love feasts.It continues until January 6, 400 miles away at Rodanthe on the Outer Banks, where a few old- timers still observe the old Christ­mas, and even until January 7 among Russian and Ukrainian col­onists near Wilmington, who still go by the Gregorian calendar.In old Salem the making of Christmas candles has become al­most a ritualistic part of the holi­days. For months the workers meet in the Brothers House, built in 1769 as a home for the single men of the community.Huge cakes of beeswax are melt­ed—12% pounds of tallow to 50 | pounds of wax. The mbcture is strained, poured into large blocks HERE HE IS . . . Here's a pic­ture that speaks louder than any words could. It’s that man of the hour, the guy you’ve been waiting for—Santa him­ self. which are melted ip coffee pots on the stove. The wra is poured into ancient candle molds through which twine has been pulled to make the wicks.Then one week come the candle teas when tiie community is in­vited to see the fragrant, yellow- brown tapers being made. Hos­ tesses, dressed in the costumes of the early settlers, serve Moravian sugar cakes and coffee, and the rest of the conmiunily feels it finally has entered the season. Christmas Story Continues to Grow In Faith, Intensity Year by year the increasingly old, but ever new story of Christ­mas warms the heart of all Christ­endom. Year by year the depth of faith is intensified by the beloved words of the Christmas story, by the prophecies of the patriarchs of old whose wisdom enabled them to foresee the coming of the Christ.Nowhere else in all the Scriptures is the prophecy of the birth of the Saviour more beautifully or con- ; vincingly told than in the words j of the propnet Isaiah. More than I 700 years before the event, he de- ‘ dared:For unto us a child is bom, onto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulders; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsel­lor, The Mighty God, The Ever­lasting Father, The Prince of Peace. . . . Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin Mistletoe Kiss Began as Mytli Practice Symbolized Expulsion of Evil The origin of the yuletide custom of kissing under the mistletoe is shrouded with some uncertainty, but it is believed that the original practice was symbolical of assur­ance that never again would the mistletoe be used as an instrimient of evil, as it was in Scandinavian mythology..The Norseman believed that Balder, the god who personified the sun, was disliked by Loki, god of mischief. According to the leg­end, Loki planned to destroy Bald­er, but Frigga, Balder’s mother, obtained a promise from all living things that they would not harm Balder, But she forgot to extract such a promise from the mistle­toe.Knowing this, Loki made an ar­row from the mistletoe and gave it to Balder’s blind brother, Hoder, and told him how to use It. The shaU conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name ImmanueL Isaiah also foretold the visit of the Three Wise Meii to Bethlehem in Chapter 60, verse six:The multitude of camels shall cover thee, thee dromedaries of Midian and Ephah ;. they shall bring gold and incense, and they shall shew forth the praises of the Lord. And so the prophecy and the story go to the magnificent climax which is related by St. Luke in these words:“ . . . And she brought forth her first-bom son, and virrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid, him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.” Brazil Believes Animals Talk on Christmas EveA Christmas legend which had its origin in Brazil has come down to many peoples of the world through the ages, and is one which is of most interest to children.The old legend has it that on Ciu-istmas eve ^ animals become endowed with the power of speech, a belief which it is thought stems from the presence of animals at the birth of Christ. It is' one legend that persists most strongly. occasion was a demonstration that all things so loved Balder that nothing could harm him. Hoder did not know the mistletoe would prove a lethal weapon.The arrow killed Balder. Frigga was desolate, but won a promise from Odin, chief of all the gods, that if every living thing would weep for Balder, he would be re­ stored to life. Frigga had everyone weep for Balder but Loki. Dis­ guised as an old witch, he declined to weep.As a result, Odin permitted Bald­er six months of life and six months of death, which explained the sum­mer and winter seasons to the old Norsemen. Frigga was given care of the mistletoe so it would never again bring sorrow. Christmas this year should be a safe Christmas—safe for everyone from the tiniest tot to the oldest grandparent. Too much emphasis cannot be put on safety in decora­ tions, especially in the use of electric lights.Too often a set of defective lights is the cause of a tragedy or near tragedy during the holiday season. Sockets for miniature electric tree lights must be deep so the metal at the base of the plug is completely covered and tinsel and trimmings cannot touch it.In buying new lights this year, be sure to get those with deep sockets so none of the metal will be ex­ posed. It might even be a good in­vestment to replace all shaUow- socket strings of lights with deep socket ones.-It would be well for every family that expects to use lights this year to check them closely and make necessary replacements in time.Regular iUtuninating bulbs. 16 watts or iiigher, must not be used on Christmas trees. They can get hot enough in a few minutes to set the tree on fire. Cfiristmos in Mexico Unless he is very much Ameri­canized, the Mexican child knows nothing of the Cliristmas tree.

'l lu i c k m i W y v i t K '^ E NTHQLATUM HADACOL IS HELPFUL TO FOLKS OF ALL AGE GROUPS Countless thousands have proved that HADACOL is beneficial to folks of all ages. That is the reason so many purchase the large economy size bottle so all the family can bene­fit from nature’s Vitamins and Minerals in HAD.4C0L.For instance. Miss Ethel Guidry, 822 Montgomery St., Port Neches, Texas, only 17 years old, was “feel­ing nervous, had little appetite, her face was pale and drawn and she suffered from gas on the stom­ach.” Her system lacked the B Vitamins and Minerals which HADACOL con­tains and this may cause diges­tive disturbances such as heart MissGoidir burns, indigestion, and often times Miss Guidry says she could not eat the kind and type of food she wanted without feeling terrible afterwards.Miss Guidry, who recently gradu­ated from high school,, is already working in a bank. She said that after taking several bottles of HAD­ACOL she is now “feeling wonder­ful,” and has “lots of pep and enengy.”Most folks take HADACOL be­cause it has worked such wonders for relatives or friends. Miss Guidry took HADACOL because her mother had taken 12 bottles with excellent results.a In nearby Port Arthur, Texas, Mrs. W. M. Thompson took HADACOL because it had done her husband so much good. He, in turn, had taken HADACOL because an elder-__, ja V ly neighbor toldhim of “feeling so Mrs. Thompson much better”after taking several bottles of HADACOL.Mrs. Thompson’s normal weight is 136 pounds but she was down to 110 pounds before taking HADACOL and after taking a few bottles of HADACOL she regained h » normal weight.“I was bothered with stomach trouble, gastric disturbances, I had lost my appetite and was bloated,” said Mr. Thompson. She had tried several preparations before taking her husband’s advice on HADACOL and now she enthusiastically recom­mends HADACOL to her friends.She, too, like Miss Guidry and the others, was suffering from the ‘la ^ of the B Vitamins and Minerals fa her system which HADACOL con­tains.A lack of only a small amount of the B Vitamins and certain Mmerato will cause digestive- disturbances... Your food will not agree witii yon... You will have an upset stomach... You will suffer from heart buioa, gas pains, and your food will gonr on your stomach, and you will not be able to eat the things you like for fear of being in misery afterwards. Many people also suffer from cw- stipation. And while these symptoms may be the results of other causes, they are surely and certainly the symptonu and signs of the lack of the B Vitamins and Minerals whidi HADACOL contains. And if you suffer from such a disorder, there is no known cure except the adminis­tration of the Vitamins and Miner­als which your system lacks.HADACOL contains not only one, but B of the B Vitamins. HADACOL contains not only one, but 4 of the necessary Minerals. It 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 understand, therefore, why countless thousands have al­ready been benefited by this amaz­ing tonic, HADACOL.So, it matters not who you are... it matters not where you live . . . or if you have tried all the medicines under the sun, give this wonderful preparation a trial. Don’t go on suf­fering! Don’t continue 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 again because HADACOL supplied the Vitamins and Minerals which their systems needed. Be fair to yourself. Give HADACOL a trial. —Adv.

DECEMBER 14. 1949 Poultry Specialist Ssys Colora«!o Flocks iaa S;:;&ll It may be a blow to backyard poultry raisers, but Colorado’s av­erage farm poultry flock is too small to be profitable, says O. C. Ufford, Colorado A & M college ex­ tension service poultry specialist. Eighty-five per cent of such flocks have fewer than 100 birds, Ufford adds. Tests show that larger flocks produce more eggs per hen. When the flock is small, the poultry raiser often neglects good manage­ment practices, he says."More poor quality eggs go to market from small flocks because eggs are kept over a longer period of time before taking them to market.” -Ufford explains.But such reports sliould not dis­ courage home poultry keeping, the poultry specialist points out. The figures sliow. however, that good laying records follow good management.Management of a small flock of a dozen or two pullets in the back­yard can be as good as on commer­ cial farms. Many small flocks are left to shift for themselves and the result is a low average. Chvners of large flocks make a business of poultry keeping and are more likely to apply newer technological improvements, Uf­ ford explains. They buy quality chicks which are bred to lay. They feed them scientifically, house a'ld care for them in accordance with best practices, cull low producers and keep a high proportion ot young layers.Backyard poultry growers can do these things, too—but owners of small flocks will have to exercise more ‘‘know how” tor each egg pro­duced than the owner of a large flock. Foot Troubles of Yotith Increase, Says Spesis’ist The fact that 80 per cent o' young people of hi,-;h school a ji have defective feet is evidence o', the increase of fool trouble and the need for attention to foot henltb.Nearly all babies are horn wf'i normal feet. Yet by the thne they are 10 years old, 40 to .iO per cent of ou» children have feet defects. These include red ?pots, blisters, ingrown toenails, corns, calluses, and hammer toes. If neglected these foot troubles can grow into real defetcs. It is encouraging, health authori­ties point out, to know that most foot defccts of children can be avoided and that most of those ot adults can be corrected. In child­hood, stiff, heavy outgrown sl'^ces account for 72 per cent of the foot defects, while too-short stockings are also disastrous. Size changes in the feet of grow­ing children occur more frequently tl;.-.n. often is realized. From aijes 2 to 10, sire may chi'nge every ftiur to eight weeks, while in t!ie 10'-to-12 ege bracket, an incres.se of from one to three sizes occur every 12 to 16 weeks. After age 15, the foot size usually does not change more frequently than every six m.onths. But foot size may increase at any time during adult life. “Extinct” Rodent Rediscovered Rediscovery of an animal be­lieved extinct for a century has just been announced by the Smith­sonian institution. It is a Haitian species of the hutia, ratlike distant relative of the guinoa pig and por­cupine, which was last collected in 1830 and described by the French naturalist Cuvier. Since then no living specimens have been reported, although there are quite close relatives in the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Jamaica, and some other West Indian islands. They represent a meager remnant of what was once a large and flourish­ing family of rodents. The Smith­sonian has received from Anthony Curtiss of Port-au-Prince a freshly- killed specimen collected on the southwestern peninsula of Haiti. Here the little creature apparently has found its last refuge. For the Atomic PUeLarge-scale production of rel­ atively pure thorium, a potential source of atomic energy, has been made possible by improved meth­ods of extracting the element from the sands in which it is found. Thorium itself cannot serve as a nuclear fuel, but it can be con­ verted in the atomic pile into a form of uranium called uranium- 2-33, which, like its better known twin uranium-235, is fissionable. For this reason thorium, once used principally in gas lamp mantles, is now under intensive study by many chemists and other scientists as a promising addition to the lim­ited supply of known nuclear pow­er sources. Use for Shirt-Boards When it comes to preparing food lor the family, housewives will find shirt boards come in handy. Shirt boards are those cardboard back­ing sheets that come with laundered shirts. Vegetables or fruit for a salad could be peeled on one of these boards and then cardboard and peelings disposed of. Because of absorbent properties of the card­ board, there would not be the possi­bility of breakage and spillage of the wet refuse (as is the case of paper) before the board and con­ tents were placed in the garbage can. Two of these boards could also be used for sifting small quan­ tities of flour. Our 1950 Rexall Calendars Are Here.

DECEMBER 14. 1949 Poultry Specialist Ssys Colorado F!ocl(s too S>r.all It may be a blow to backyard poultry raisers, but Colorado’s av­ erage farm poultry flock is too small to be profitable, says O. C. Ufford, Colorado A & M college ex­tension service poultry specialist.Eighty-five per cent of such flocks have fewer than 100 birds. Ufford adds. Tests show that larger flocks produce more eggs per hen. When the flock is small, the poultry raiser often neglects good manage­ment practices, he says.“More poor quality eggs go to market from small flocks because eggs are kept over a longer period of time before taking them to market.” Ufford explains. ■But such reports should not dis­courage home poultry keeping, the poultry specialist points out. The figures show, however, that good laying records follow good management.Management of a .small flock of a dozen or two pullets in the back­yard can be as good as on commer­cial farms. Many sm.ill flocks are left to shift for themselves and the result is a low average.Owmers of large flock.'! make a business of poultry keeping and are more likely to apply newer technological improvements, Uf­ ford explains. They buy quality chicks which are bred to lay. They feed them scientifically, house and care for them in accordance with best practices, cull low producers and keep a high proportion of young layers.Backyard poultry growers can do these things, too—but oivners of small flocks will have to exercise more "know how” for each egg pro­duced than the owner of a large flock. Foot Troubles of Youth Increase, Says Sresia'ist The fact that 80 prr cpnt o' young people of hi;;h school et-. have defective feet is evidot;i'e o', tlie increase of foot trouble arti the need for attention to foot her.Ub.Nearly all babips are Ijorn w't'i normal feet. Yet by the thne they are 10 years old, 40 to .iO per cent of ou? children have feet defects. These include red spots, blisters, ingrown toenails, corns, calluses, and hammer toes. If negleiled these foot troubles can grow into real defelcs. It is encouraging, health authori­ ties point, out, to know that most foot defects of children can be avoided and that most of those of adults can be corrected. In child­hood, stiff, heavy outgrown s'-^ces account for 72 per cent of the foot defects, while too-short stockings are also disastrous. Size changes in the feet of grow­ing children occur more frequently 1'r:.in. often is realized. From a?es 2 to 10, sise may change every f<;ur to eight weeks, while in the 10'-to-12 rge bracket, an increase of from one to three sizes occur everj’ 12 to 16 weeks. After age 15, the foot size usually does not change more frequently than every six m.onths. But foot size may increase at any time during adult life. “Extinct” Rodent Rediscovcrcs! Rediscovery of an animal be­lieved extinct for a century has just been announced by the Smith­sonian institution. It is a Haitian species of the hutia, ratlike distant relative of the guinea pig and por­cupine, which was last collected in 1830 and described by the French naturalist Cuvier. Since then no living specimens have been reported, although there are quite close relatives in the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Jamaica, and some other West Indian islands. They represent a meager remnant of what was once a large and flourish­ing family of rodents. The Smith­sonian has received from Anthony Curtiss of Port-au-Prince a freshl.v- killed specimen collected on the southwestern peninsula of Haiti. Here the little creature apparently has found its last refuge. Our 1950 Rexall Calendars Are Here. W e Are Not Mailing Out Calendars This Year So Piease Call For Yours Wilkins Drug Co.

For the Atomic PileLarge-scale production of rel­atively pure thorium, a potential source of atomic energy, has been made possible by improved meth­ ods of extracting the element from the sands in which it is found. Thorium itself cannot serve as a nuclear fuel, but it can be con­verted in the atomic pile into a form of uranium called uranium- 233, which, like its better known twin uranium-235, is fissionable. For this reason thorium, once used principally in gas lamp mantles, is now under intensive study by many chemists and other scientists as a promising addition to the lim­ited supply of known nuclear pow­er sources. Uncle Sam Says Uncle Sam Says Use for Shirt-Boards When it comes to preparing food for the family, housewives will find shirt boards come in handy. Shirt boards are those cardboard back­ ing sheets that come with laundered shirts. Vegetables or fruit for a salad could be peeled on one of these boards and then cardboard and peelings disposed of. Because of absorbent properties of the card­board, there would not be the possi­bility of breakage and spillage of the wet refuse (as is the case of paper) before the board and con­ tents were placed in the garbage can. Two of these boards could also be used for sifting small quan­tities of flour.

R4 As you pass along the highways and see men serviog out a sentence under a gun yon may know they have missed the mark somewhere in life. They started out wrong, or have gone wrong, hence the ont. come. Just as they are servliig out a sentence at the point of a gun, they ceuld be free men The devil has had charge of them in. stead of God. Why don’t law violaters, and violators of God’s laws, see this and turn sway from tboir sinfulness and turn nnto God. When you go jail bouse, or a prison eamp, or to a penitentiary, aud behold the inmates, yon know they have certainly come short of life’s best. As a conscquence they have brought suffering upon them, selves and their fellowmen. When yon see a fallen character, either man or woman, you know thev have missed the mark along life’s pathway. When you see a girl, and even a boy, as for that mLtter, puffing cigarettes, or drink ing beer, you realize the> have missed the mark. There is some, thing far better for them in life. When you hear someone cursing, or using profane language, you know he has missed the mark in the higher realms of life. When vou see one going with bad com­ pany, or indulgiag in something bad and ruinons, or failing to live Godly, you know he has missed the mark. When you see anyone engaged in the wrong business for a livelihood, or for pleasure, just sum it up that he has missed the mark. When you see fathers and mothers, or young people, or any body, turning from the Word of God, turning from the church and Sunday school, turning from the Chri.<it<an religion and from the pathway heavenward, you know they have missed the mark. Any. th’ng that leads one bellward in stead of heavenward means that he has remorsefully missed the mark This missirg the mark is some, thing deploiable. We only live this life once here, after which we go to receive our reward, whether it be eternally good or bad. O dear soul, if you are missing life’s best, highest mark, rum unto God! He can change your entire career and enable you to live nobly and successfully, make your. mark to bless the world, and then reach heaven. Why miss the mark? Hasten The Day Grenda Countv (VIiss)3Weekly. There Is abundant evidence that the next major coalition in nation* al politics will be one between the conservative Demociats (most of whom voted States Rights last year( of the deep souin and the old- time Republicans of the north and west. For a number of years we have seen representatives of both groups voting Aye tor “aye” with each o..her ia Congress. Both groups are have been and probably always will be against both deals—New and Fair. Thie words. Democrat and Re. publican, both have lost the last trace of their oiiginal significance. Today the names mean less than than nothing. The conservative Democrats of the old south and the old.time Re. publicans should form a new partv and call it the Conservative Party. And let the others resume them, selves as the liberal party. Trade Vfith The Merchants Vtho Advertise In The Davie Record E V E B Y H E A R T By Vera Tarpley "■DOT THEY don’t believe ® Christinas, Jim —y 0 u kru that.” Laura wished she hadn’ spoken quite so loudly; her remar: had stopped in midstream thre; rapid-running conversations, guests studied the rug pattern. Ji: merely looked at his wife in silenc " I mean, after all,” she went 01 “it’s not their religion. . . so I a; sumed it would be embarrassing- to the>.i—to invite them to ou Christmas party.” She swallowe uncomfortably. “And I assumed that tliis partj; was for all the fellows in our ofTiCe' including Ben.” H e smiled then but didn’t soften the accusation Everyone in the room knew of thi close friendship betw een Jim Ben—they only guessed a t his wife’s resentment of th e friendship. “He asked us lo s'ng: ‘Silent Night’ and guess wst.*;? He gave us ten dollars! And she invited us In and gave us canfiy an3 cookies.” Mr. Adams, office mana.'jer, bro’:e the silence next. “I wo:;!dn’t v;or- ry about it too m uch, Jim . Af.cr all, Christmas is , . Ke his glass and returned it lo the coffee-table. ‘‘And w e all Csril a lit­tle differently about the holic’c;y than they do.” About nine o’clock ca ro lers cam e to the door, singing lustily and slightly off-key, “L e t eve -y h e a rt prepare him room . . The oldest caroler was scarcely tw elve. He rattled a box full of coins. Mr. Adams snatched the donation box from him, ceremoniously deposited nine pennies, and passed from guest to guest, bowing after each dona­tion. Everyone put in nickels and dimes. Jim put in a five-dollar bill and everyone shouted “Show-off!” Laura was annoyed but kept still. Laura and Jim ’s little girl. Bonny, was out caroling too, but her group covered a different neighborhood. No one noticed much when the telephone rang later in the evening and Jim went to ansv/er it. But they noticed Jim ’s face when he returned to the living-room—it was white and twitched unpleasantly. Laura walked over to him. “Who was it, dear?” “It was Ben—he called to apolo­gize for not coming tonight.” “His daughter’s been in Chil­dren’s Hospital for the past month, you know.” Adams' broke in. “Say, that’s right—Ben said she was pulling out of it—that was last week I be­lieve. How’s she doing, did he say?” “She died this afternoon.” Nobody seemed to have anything more to say after that. The party broke up within the next half-hour. Just as the Adamses were leav­ ing, Bonny came in from caroling. She was flushed with happiness and excitement. Laura clutched her in her arms convulsively. “Did your group make a big haul tonight, Bonny?”“Did we!” she gasped. “We got more than any other group I bet! And Mon, we sang for that Mr. Ben at Daddy’s office, and—” “Oh but you shouldn't have!” Laura looked at Jim with alarm.“Why not. Mom? He asked us to sing “Silent Night,” and guess what? He gave us ten dollars! And she invited us in and gave us candy and cookies, and gee, they’re nice! And I told them hello from you and Daddy, and you know what? She cried! Isn’t that funny, mother?” Jim looked at his stricken wife and wanted to take her in his arms, but Mr. and Mrs. Adams were standing there with their mouths open, so he merely grasped her hand firmly. Bonny babbled on hap­pily. “And you know what else? M r. Ben asked me wh-~-* *ho went tor, and when I told him h6 took all the money out of his wal­let and put it in our box, can you imagine? And then I asked him U he had any hoys or girls like ui and would they like to go caroling with us and he said no. And then she started crying again and we left. Wasn’t that funny?” Mr. Adams cleared his throat. “By the way, Bonny, just what were those donations for anjnvayT I forgot to notice.“Why, for the Children’s Hospital fvmd—or something like that^-it w m ^ printed on tiie box.” Detective Work on Pipe Metallurgists frequently are asked to be “detectives.” Recently they were called upon to help determine whether a quantity of unmarked pipe, used in World War II. had been made in the United States The pipe was used to carry the fue' for tank corps and other mechan­ ized equipment in the invasion of Europe. Much of that “invasion” pipe was made in the United States, but some of it was made in other countries. None of it was identified by marking. When an American de­sired to buy some of that nine he was told that he could buy it and transport it to the United Statpc free of import duty if he cot'V prove that it had been made in the United States. Value of Silage Silage for winter use, cut, com pressed and preserved by its own fermentat’on in an airti<rht cham­ber, is essential for profit-mak'ng dairy and stock farms. Practically every kind of livestock thrive? when fed palatable and nourishing silage. And the farmer who feeds silage to his dairy herd, beef cat­tle or sheep gets the full value out of his forage crops-the 40 per cent in the stalks and leaves as well as the 60 per cent in the ears and grain. V^en stalks and leaves are left in the field, they are largely wasted. In a silo they are preserved with a minimum of waste. Feeding silage also enables the farmer to boost milk and meat production, realize savings in feed storage costs and labor, and maintain 'arger herds of livestock. Prevention of FireYears ago, a disastrous fire was regarded as an act of God. There was little organized effort to pre­vent fires. Little information on the subject was available. When a man’s property or btisiness was destroyed by fire, it^was no one’s affair but his own. Today there is a more enlightened viewpoint. Fire destruction is a matter of national concern. Its effect upon the com­munity has become the com­munity’s business. Prevention of fire is regarded as an important ‘.tribute of good citizenship. SILER Funeral Home AND Flower Shop Phone 113 S.

Our County And Social Security By Mrs. lR.uth G. Dufiy. Manager. Many employers employ public accountants to prepare their tax reports every quarter. I became acquainted with a public account­ ant, whom I’ll call Mr. Cox, about three years ago. I don’t know of anyone who is more careful than Mr. Cox about getting Social Se- curiry Account Numbers exactly right. He used to be a head book­ keeper for a large company. He had a lot of trouble because his foremen wou d forget to ask new employees for their numbers, and would send in pavroll reports without numbers. I met Mr. Cox under these cir­ cumstances. I visited a young wid­ ow with three little children and no way to support them. She was in need of Social Security bene­ fits. Our records showed, how­ ever, that her husband hadn’t wor­ ked long enough for her to get payments. After going over our records carefully with her, she said her husband had been em­ ployed by the company where Mr. Cox was bookkeeper. So 1 asked him to check his records on this wage earner. There was no re­ cord of his employment. I went back to the widow. She not only remembered the dates, but also the name of the foreman who hir­ ed her husband. Mr. Cox remem­ bered the foreman and he and I went to see him. The foreman recalled the wage earner and sho­ wed us his time book with the exact hours of work and wages. He insisted that he had sent in the proper report to the office but his report did not show the So­ cial Security Account Number, It didn’t take long, after this, to straighten out the records so that the deceased worker was credited with the wages he had earned. The widow has been drawing monthly payments for herself and children for over 2 years now. Mr. Cox has continued his work as a public accountant. He told me that every time an employer gives him a report without a Social Se­ curity No. he thinks about the widow who nearly lost her insur­ ance benefits because of a careless mistake; and he takes steps to make certain the correct number is reported. It’s a good idea for you work­ ers to check your Social Security Accounts every two or three years. You are the only ones who can do this. We will not mail a state­ ment of your account to anyone but you. eginning Jan. 1, 1950 vou will pav l i per cent of your \\ages for this protection. Your employer will also contribute the same. I will be in Mocksville on Wed­ nesday, Dec. 28, 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.

HAKE, THE HERALD AN< have good reason to be stIU can sine Christmas dictatorial intenrentioii. photogra^d at the Cahnrch thef held a dress rehearsal O N C H The safest way to insure against fire at Christmas time which might originate from the Christmas tree is to keep the tree standing in plain, ordinary water from the time you get it home until you discard it after the holidays.That's the most practical, satis­factory and convenient method found so far for reducing fire haz­ ards and keeping tree needles from losing their color or dropping from the tree.Tests show that keeping trees standing in water will prevent needles from dying out and be­coming inflammable. They con­tinue to appear fresh and green. As compared with tests of trees standing in fire-retardent chemi­cals, it was found that trees so treated did not absorb the chemi­cals rapidly or in as large amounts as water. This resulted in increased combustibility, needle discoloration and fall. Here’s how to carry out the tree treatment suggested: Select a tree cut as recently as possible. Cut about an inch diag­onally off the bottom of the trunk. Stand the tree at once in a con­tainer of water, and keep the wat­er level above the edges of the cut during the entire time the tree is in the house. If the tree is not set up at once, keep it standing in wat­er in a cool place. This treatment does not make the tree absolutely flame-proof, so other cautions are necessary. Check- the wiring of lights and keep tmsel and other flammable material and decorations away from the sockets of the light bulbs on the tree. E ducated S an tas School Teaches Kringle Know-How A school for Santa Clauses? Yes, there is one, it’s the only educational institution of its kind in the world.Graduates wear white wig and whiskers, red suit trimmed in white fur, wide white belt and black leather boots .It Is the Santa Claus School at Albion, New York. It gives credits for deep, jovial laughter and twinkling, smiling eyes.Fresh out of Santa Claus school, a graduate with honors in throaty “ho-hoing” knows, among other things, how to remain calm when a kid glares and yells, “There ain’t no Santa Claus,” and how to maintain diplomatic relations with a parent who thinks Santa Claus has given her tot the brushoff. The school holds that to be a good Santa Claus, one has to almost believe he really is Santa Claus. The Santa Clauses are taught that when a fresh kid declares there isn’t any Santa Claus to say: “I wouldn’t be too sure of that, son—I wouldn’t be too sure, if I were you.” Caroling Held Favorite With Many at Christmas One of the favorite customs of Chirstmas Eve in many sections of the world is the singing of car­ols. The carols are sometimes called “noels” because of the word having originated in France and descend­ ing from the Latin word meaning a “cry of joy at Christmas.” Car­ols also once meant round dancers accompanied by gay songs. The earliest collection of carols was published about 1521. The Yule Log A medieval Christmas toast al­ ways accompanied the burning of the Yule log. It was: “This Yule log btirns. It destroys old hatreds and misunderstandings. Let your envies vanish and the spirit of good fellowship reign su­preme for this season and all through the year.”But if you want a Yule log in the best -Christmas tradition it should be of oak, ash, olive, apple or pine. EPIPHANY £VE Trees Bow in Adoration of Christ in Syria Among the most interesting leg­ends connected with Christmas is one popular in Syria and is con­nected with Epiphany eve. Accord­ing to this legend at twelve mid­night on that night the trees bow in adoration before the CSnist- child. The night, which the Syrians call “Laitat-al-Qadr” is held to be the "night of destiny.” One writer Irom that coxmtiy describes the be­ lief thusly: “But what was anything com­pared to the feast' of Epiphany, which we celebrated in commem­oration of the baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan 12 days after Christmas. I was taught to believe and joyously did believe that the rivers and fountains of the entire world became suddenly holy about sunset on Epiphany eve. .

There must have been some to ask that question, as the old, old man Simeon took the little six-weeks-old Jesus in his arms. To most eyes he was just another baby; but at the touch of him, Simeon broke out into words so filled with hope and ec- ■ stasy, so rhythmic with emotion, that his words, even to this day, are used as a hymn in all the Christian churches of t h e world. “Mine eyes have seen . . .” Foreman The aged man, alread moving across the thin line dividing this world form heaven, could see with the eye of the spirit what was hid from the eye of many a practical man. To Simeon’s mind, imbued with the spirit of the ancient proph­ets, the child in his arms was a center of light.All the rays from the dim and ancient prophecies came to a focus in this child; and from this child again there shone out to all the future years of man the hope of a better world. What the prophets have foretold, is now to be; this child is the hope of mankind.« * • They have seen a great light Th e CHRISTMAS PROPHECIES, our Old Testament lesson text, sing the hope of the Hebrew peo­ple. It was a hope that spread be­yond themselves, their tmy hiU- country, landlocked and harborless, out to the “Circle of the Nations,” on to the world of vast peoples beyond their ken. In a leaderless world, where men went blindly through life, smothered by the smoke of torches in the wavering hands of the blind, the prophets sang of the Coming One, the Mes­siah, God’s chosen Leader, who would bring men out of darkness into light, the Divine Counsellor. In the centuries when the serv­ants of God were enslaved by those who worshiped only the sword, the prophets pointed confidently to the time when the leadership of the world would at least be in the hands of those who knew and un. derstood and obeyed God.* * * Eyes of Flesh NOW THE PROPHETS did not always fully imderstand their own prophecies, as we are told by Peter (I Pet. 1:10,11); and certain­ly most of the Jews M not. When they heard the word “Messiah” or “King” they could think only of the kings they had known and ad­mired, some new David, great in battle, or another Solomon, in a greater and more golden palace. So when the little boy Jesus was bom in the dark stable un­ der the hill, it was not everyone who could see what Simeon saw, that now the hopes of the ' prophets were .coming true, now the Kingdonf of righteous­ness and peace, the Realm of All Nations, was to begin. What Siineon’s fading human eye could see was no great thing — a helpless infant from a peasant carpenter’s home. It was only Simeon’s inward eye that saw the truth.* * • Eyes of Faith Ye t THE EYE of faith can see more. The salvation God is bringing to the world has only just begun. As in Simeon’s day thesalvation and the light were barely at the horizon, so now it is still but sunrise. The colors of sunrise maybe mistaken for those of simset, by those who have been long asleep. It is only those who have watched through the night who know the sunrise for what it is. The songs of Christmastide are songs of hope, and not only songs of remembrance. It is not the hope of tools, for the world of today is brighter than the world into which Christ was bom, and the brightness shines from him. Who would turn back this world, for all its wretchedness and frus­trations, into what it would have been had Jesus never been bom? At Christmas time we rejoice, not that all things have been accom­plished or that all the prophecies of good have come true; we re­joice rather that the God-sent Leader, the Messiah, the Saviour, has come, and that with his com­ing salvation and light and glory have begun.

The Record will not ap­ pear next week, but hopes to greet our readers again on Janu­ ary 4, 1950, the Lord willing. The year just coming to a close, has brought its jovs and sorrows to all. Many homes have been saddened by the passing of dear ones, and the hand of affliction has fallen heavily upon many homes, but in spite of all this, we all have much to be thankful for. The Lord has given us bounte­ ous harvests and has richly bless­ ed this country. To all of our subscribers, ad­ vertisers and those who have stood by us during the past year, we wish to extend our sincere thanks, and wish for everybody, everywhere a very Merry Christ­ mas and a Happy New Year. Favor Quotas Unofficial returns from the fif­teen communities in Davie Coun­ty in the national cotton market­ing quota referendum held Thurs­day indicate that the County’s co'- ton growers are favoring market­ing quotas for the 1550 crop by a: bout three to one. Total tabulation to date for the county just releasad by the Coun­ty Production and Marketing Ad­ministration Committee show 259 growers favor quotas and 93 are against quotas.Mr. Miller, County PMA Com­mittee Chairman, points out that although Davie County farmers are apparently approving quotas by more than the required two- thirds majority, the referendum is decided on a national basis and the final result will not be known until the national tabulation is completed. The 20 States voting gave a ma­jority of 9 to 1 favoring market­ing quotas for cotton. \eterans Colamn F. R. Leagans, Service Officer. Outpatient trea.ment for service connected disabilities is a very im­ portant benefit for World War 11 Veterans. It is also one of the least understood benefits. Briefly these benefits are summed up as follows: 1st. The Veterans Administra­ tion will pay the Veterans local Dr. for treatments of disabilities which are service connected, even though the Veterans are not actu­ ally drawing compensation for said service connected disability. This treatment is available for any ser­ vice connected disabity which would be compensable if 10 per cent In degree. 2nd. Outpaci-nt treatment is available for any Veteran who is in training under Public Law 16, even though the disease or injury' is not of service origin. For ex­ ample a Veteran in training un­ der Public Law 16 is entitled to outpatient treatment for any in­ jury or illness which might hin. der or interfere with his rehabili­ tation without exception. Outpa­ tient treatment includes medieal and dental services and drugs and medicides when they are furnish­ed by the doctor or drug store on a doctor’s prescription. Qualified Veterans in need of outpatient medical or dental services are in­vited to conta:t your County Ve- .terans Service office at 134 South Main St., for free information and assistance. The next article will explain widows and orphans pension for World War 1 and H, whi-re the Veterans did not die while in ser­vice or from a service connected disability.

S. atomic energy commis­sion was preparing to “breed” the scarce atomic materials that make the A-bomb explode. HAILED as the biggest step yet taken in the attempt to harness the atom for use in industry, an en­gineering plant for “experimental breeding” of atomic materials actually was on paper. According to Dr. Lawrence Haf- stad, top AEC scientist, atomic ma­terials, no matter how produced, can be used for either bombs or peacetime purposes. This would include the hoped-for generation of useful industrial power. He de­clared that the designers of the “breeder” device are confident it would work. Commissioners and aids also told newsmen that by 1952 the AEC should be building the first model of an atomic engine designed to propel ships. It will also start work next year on a reactor—an atomic furnace— expected to yield '‘significant amounts” of electronic power and to “breed” or manufacture more atomic materials as it goes along.THIS. AEC AIDS SAID, is dis­tinguished from the experimental “breeder” whose primary purpose would be to produce new atomic materials, wifli power production only a sideline. Dr. Hafstad said the “breeder” reactor would be built at Arco, Idaho. He added that if it works, it will ease greatly the difficulty of getting more fissionable ma­terial. In “breeding,” the scientists put some fissionable material in the furnace with a larger amount of non-fissionablc. They hope, in the process, to make some of the latter into fissionable material and thus have a net gain. CHINESE: Trigger-Happy The muddled China picture was getting no clearer, and the U.S. again had been put in the middle.INSULTED by China Commu­nists who bad imprisoned (but later released) the U. S. consular attache, Angus Ward, Americans fumed anew as Chinese National­ ists, supposed friends of ttie U.S., were charged with firing upon a U. S. vessel, the Sir John Franklin. The incident occurred oft Shang­hai. The ship’s owners released a radio message from the skipper of the ship who charged that two Nationalist warships had ignored his order to halt for a boarding party and had, instead, raked the vessel with a “constant barrage” of shells, almost at point blank range. The ship’s owners demanded that the U. S. act to curb the “trig­ger-happy” Nationalists. The state department said it would protest “energetically” to the Nationalist government. The U.S. agency entered the picture after receiving reports of the in­cident from -Walter P. McCon- aughy, U. S. consul-general at Shanghai, who said no one aboard the vessel was injured. THE INCIDENT was the latest in a series of attacks or other mis­adventures suffered by the com­pany’s vessels at the hands of the Nationalists. An unexplained angle of the sit­uation was the question of what a merchant vessel was doing—or its rights—in ordering a man-of-war of the Chinese Nationalists to halt for a boarding party. POPULATION: U.S. Climbing According to a U.S. department of agriculture report, the popula­ tion of the United States will in­crease by leaps and bounds in the next 26 years. THE REPORT predicts that the current U. S. poputetion of approxi­mately 150 million win rise to a thumping 188.5 million by 1975— an increase of 26.4 per cent.The “high level” asstmiptions on which the report is based are a combination of factors including high ferl^ty, low mortality, an­nual net immigration to the U.S., and a high degree of internal mi­gration—that is, moving back and forth within the United States. In Contempt Attorney Vincent HalUnan, ieiending labor leader Harry Bridges in the tatter’s trial on perjury - conspiracy charges, was cited for contempt of court during the trial which was pre­ sided over by Federal Judge George B. Harris, In San Fran­ cisco. LABOR: T-H Waiver Asked A psychological swipe at the Taft-Hartley labor law was taken by employer association and labor unions in the vast U. S. construc­tion industry. Both joined in ask­ing the national labor relations board for exemptions from Taft- Hartley labor law election require­ments. WHATEVER EFFECT the move might have on congressional action on Taft-Hartley when members convene in January, there was no denying the action was well timed. With employer associations throw­ing in with labor in requesting the blanket exemption, opponents of Taft-Hartley would find added strength. The construction industry’s ma­jor management and labor groups contend that strict application of the T-H law to them wiU. wreck long-standing collective-bargaining practices and hamper building ac­tivities. Here, too, was a scintillatinir strategic maneuver, for with hous­ing still short and the problem still far from solved, anything which might be considered as an aid to increased building could ex­pect to get some consideration from congress. UNDER PRESENT T-H LAW, elections such as those mentioned, a vote must be taken before a union can be certified as the proper bargaining agent, and before a imion can get a union-shop agree­ment-one that requires workers after they are hired to become members of the union. It is a complete waiver of both these provisions that management and labor in the construction agen. cy are asking. •KICKBACK': Solon Accused The long-postponed trial of ReJ. J. Pa'meU Thomas (R., N. J.) opened with charges that he forced a former secretary and codefend­ant to aid him in a salary “Mck- back” scheme. THE CHARGE against Thomas was made by John R. Fitzpatrick, attorney for Miss Helen Campbell, ■ one-time secretary to the former chairman of the house un-Ameri­can activities committee.Both Thomas and Miss Campbell were charged with fraud and con­spiracy by which the congressman allegedly padded his office payroll and took salary “kickbacks” from two employees. If convicted, the representative would face up to 32 years in prison and fines up to $40,000. The house of representatives would have to decide whether he could remain in congress. Miss Campbell would face a somewhat lesser penalty. MISS CAMPBELL’S attorney con­ceded that she aided in the “kick- back” scheme, but only under Thomas’ orders, and denied she was guilty of conspiracy. Actually, he said, she went to the justice department and voluntarily told “everything the government knows about the case.” The government claims the al­leged plan netted Thomas a total of $812. While he Is accused of fil­ing false payroll claims totaling nearly $1,700, it is not alleged that he, got all the money. NBW SOVIET CLAIM Reds Report Vegetation on Planet Mars The Russians, whose claims to pre-eminence in discoveries and inventions of things the western world had known and invented years before, were “out of this world” in their most recent as­sertion of scientific discovery. This time, Soviet scientists were fairly sure of no contradiction, by means of visible proof at aay rate. The Kremlin’s telescope crews had come up with the statement that there was actually vegetation on the planet Mars. An astronomer at an observatory in south central Russia, so the re- port went, reported tliat: “Plant life on high mountains and in the arctic (of the earth) resembles Martian vegetation in lumines- cense. It appears that all wiW plants radiate waves. McCarran as Advisor SEN. PAT McCARRAN of Ne­ vada, No. I enemy of Europe’s homeless refugees, now has set himself up as chief volunteer pub­lic relations counsel to Europe’s No. 1 Fascist dictator. On his latest junket abroad, sup­posedly to "investigate the current refugee situation,” MaCarran gave Spain’s Francisco Franco some shrewdly cynical advice on how to make friends and influence people. In the course of two lengthly inter­views, the senator from Nevada assured his attentive host that “with a little smart handling at this end, Spain can be right back in the front parlor by this time next year.” McCarran happens to represent a state containing less than one- tenth of 1 per cent of the U. S. population, and most Nevadans are not the slightest bit Interested in Franco. Nevertheless, McCarran did not hesitate to speak for aU the American people. “The overwhelming majority of the American people,” he said, “are convinced ttat your country has been given a raw deal. It’s just a question now of pounding the point home and getting enough pressure put on enough congressmen to whip the state department pinks.” » A “healthy bloc of senators,” McCarran added, are prepared to advocate, early in the next con­gressional session, that the United States sponsor Spain’s admission to specialized agencies of the United Nations. “They are also prepared to put the heat on a few of our European charity patients so that you can get invited into that western union club of theirs,” McCarran said. “However,” McCarran warned Franco, “don’t let your pride keep you from blowing your own horn, good and loud. You’ve got to keep telling everybody that Spain de­serves a place on the anti-Com- munist team. Don’t bother about anything else, or answer any other criticism; just keep hitting that one line, and you’ll make the grade.”Franco, whose background hasn’t given him much experience in molding public opinion, must have been grateful for these tips. For less than a week later. Franco followed McCarran’s suggestions closely in an exclusive interview with a U. S. correspondent.Radio Madrid, on its short-wave broadcasts to the Americas, has also begun to bear down heavily on “Spain’s contributions to the struggle of western civilization against Russian Communist barb­arism.” High point of these propa­ganda blurbs is the cryptic dec­laration: “If it hadn’t been for Spain, England would now prob­ably be the only free nation in western Europe.”• « * Unsung Biireaucrats Thousands of words have been rained upon the reading public about the inequities of bureau­crats. However, there are bureau­crats and bureaucrats and without some of them, the government couldn’t function today. For instance, a handful of medi­cal bureaucrats are risking death and disease every day to safe­guard the health of others. The door outside their bureaus at Be- thesda, Md., might be covered with quarantine signs, but one sign alone tells the story: "Infectious diseases.” Inside, doctors and assistants are exploring with microscopes - and test tubes, seeking cures for everything — from polio to the common cold. At one time or other, nearly everyone on the staff has been bedridden with some disease; at least three have died during the past decade — victims of their own research. For such risks, these doctors are paid a modest government salary, ranging from $4,500 to $10,000, though they could earn far more in private practice. They don’t work for the glory either, since their discoveries are kept anony­mous by the public health service. Yet their selfless research goes on.The doctor in charge of polio re­search, for example, is Dr. Charles Armstrong who spent eight months in bed and nearly died from tular­emia, or rabbit fever, and also came down with dengue fever, par­rot fever, '“Q” fever and encepha­litis on other assignments. He is now searching desperately for a serum that will prevent polio.. * • No Cure for Colds Another important research task force, under Dr. Leon Atlas, is exploring the common cold. He has already isolated the elusive virus which causes colds, has proven this by dropping the virus into the nostrils of volunteers from the dis­trict of Colxnnbia jail. However, Dr. Atlas h a s also discovered there are many types of colds— caused' by other viruses, allergies and mild diseases that do not go oast the preliminary stage. FIRST AID to the AILING HOUSE by Roger C.WIutiiiap Washing Painted Walls QUESTION: How can I wash my painted walls without having the gloss come off? ANSWER: Get one of the com­mercial preparations that is sold in package form and follow the directions for use carefully. You can also use a mild solution of trisodium phosphate for the pur­pose. This can be bought at a paint or grocery store under a trade name; a soapless cleaning pow­ der. You will find directions for use printed on the label. Do not expect any glossy paint to keep its gloss after many washings. Some of it is apt to wash off after a time. I ASK MS ANOTHSR I A General Quiz The Questions 1.

Since then he has taken more than 20 bottles of HADACOL and has worked steady. W. P. PATTERSON Here is Mr. Patterson’s statement: “I had been unable to work for more than a yeacwhen I heard about HADACOL last September.

Their eyes were in fixed focus on a shiny object at their feet—the Hope Diamond. . . .Let me end the suspense here and now by announcing that the gang was made up of boys who had gotten together to decide the marble championship of the Upper Bronx, and that the shiny object at their feet was not the unlucky stone of great price you’ve been reading about for y e ^ , but a legendary agate known to small fry from the Triborough Bridge to Spuyten Duyvil as the Hope Diamond shooter. Now, a shooter, or “real,” as the aficionados call it. looks a lot like an ordinary mar­ble, b u t. any kid who knows a heist- shot from a knuck- le-down c a n tell you the difference.The shooter is heavier, truer, more cunningly fashioned than the ordinary i m m i e, and, even more im- p o r tant, there exists between it and BUly Bose the thumb and forefinger of its owner a spirit­ual affinity which makes it more precious to him than all the other marbles he owns. When a player loses in a “for-keeps” game, he pays off with common, earth-bound miggels—he would no more think of parting with his shooter than a good family man would with his life in­surance. NOW IT FIGURES that by this time you’re busthi’ to know some­ thing about the owner of the Hope Diamond shooter, and how the fabled marble happened to wind up at the feet of a bunch of Wds on the day of the big tournament. Well, for you to get the complete picture, it is necessary for me to sketch in some of the background of the. shooter—a story which, I might add, in many respects, parallels the history of its super-jinxed namesake. As the fen-everything set recalls it, the Hope Diamond was first brought to the Bronx by a player who originally hailed from Chepa- chet, Rhode Island. After a series of backyard triumphs, he won the right to participate in a semi-final, but the morning of the contest one of the ball-bearings in his skates got stuck and, in tiie header which followed, his shooting finger was so badly bruised that he had to 'with­draw. Then, for a u/hih, the malevo­lent marble was owned by Irp Sondergaard, but shortly after he acqtured it, the boy developed a game leg and was forever barred by his doctor from kneeling on the damp earth. Finally, Whitey Wizcoczki, re­puted to have the most skillful thumb north of the Harlem river, latched on to the shooter, but two days before the big tournament, the jinx caught up with him and he broke a couple of ribs falling off the back of an ice truck.The easiest thing, of course, would have been to throw away the hex-heavy shooter but, as you know, the ways of men and urchins under the spell of superstition are hard to explain. Hariy Winston’s Hope Diamond, too, is supposed to carry a curse with it, but as you may have noticed, Harry hasn’t thrown it away either.. * * AND SO, five minutes before the contest, Charlie Hersch, Whitey’s I S h e l t e r e d M a n y a C a r e (SHELTERED many a heavy care And hugged diem to my bosom, I held them close and guarded them For fear chat I should lose them. One day I sat beside the road A ll spent and worn and sighing, Too dred to listen to the birds. O r mark the white clouds flying. Then suddenly, a shining note lik e silver dropped from heaven. Pierced my ears; the cooling shade Offered its wayside leaven. The swaying grasses bent to touch My fevered cheek, and blessed me; A wild flower reached its gentle hand And lovingly caressed me. The m orning dew was like a drink O f water for my th ir^ n g ; I saw a lark lift from the grass. His gold throat swelled to bursting. I rose to take my cares again.

He picked it up, tried a test shot, and said, “K nobody wants the Diamond, I’ll use it.” The Fiction THE PRICE By Richard H. Wilkinson Corner •pHBREA Panelwas a strangeness about Pancho Ortegna that was hard to describe. There was mystery in his eyes, a wildness, a curiously de­tached look. Yet he had the high forehead of intelligence, the cheek­bones and nose of breeding, the erect carriage of pride. He was the type of man that you looked at twice. I first saw him two summers ago in Cano. It was swelteringly hot_____________^outside, but with- lin the dark in-3-Minute I erior of Cabello’s Fictionriciion Ortegna was sit­ting alone at a table, an untouched drink at his elbow, an open book in his lap. No one bothered him; the dancing girls veered away; there was respect in the attitude of the waiter who served him that wasn’t evidenced for other customers. "Who is he?” I asked Juan. “Pancho Ortegna, the head hun­ter.” "Head hunter?” I stared, drink held suspended. Juan’s white teeth flashed against bis dark skin. “It surprises you, yes? That busi­ness of head hunting. Come, surely you have heard of the head hunting tribes?” “Who hasn’t?” I assented. “But who ever believed them?”“Come,” said Juan. “You Amer­icans must be shown.”I followed Juan down Cano’s single street, beneath the blazing sun, and into the cool dark interior “Pancho Ortegna!” I ex­claimed suddenly. of what might pass as a gift shop back home. Juan spoke rapidly in his native tongue to the swarthy gentleman beh&d the counter. The swarthy gentleman looked at me, shrugged, and disappeared into a back room. £a a moment he re­appeared carr}ring in his band an object that caused my flesh to crawl. The object was a human head, shrunk symmetrically to about the size of an orange. The swarthy gentleman of­fered me the head for $35. When I refused it, he shrugged indifferently' and disappeared behind the cnrtains. nfpH E Ecuadorian government win fine you $400 for posses­sing one of these heads,” Juan ex­plained ag we left the store. “No one has yet been able to discover how the average tribes remove the bones before the shrinking is done, and Uttle else about the actual shrinking process. “Pancho Ortegna is a scientist. He came down here two years ago, determined to solve the mystery. Naturally he ran into difficulties because of the government rules against head hunting. But this only made him more determined. He visited tribe after tribe. Those who were friendly played innocent, flat­ly refusing to admit any knowledge about the business. From the other tribes, the hostiles, Pancho barely escaped with his life. I glanced at Juan quickly. “Do you mean ...” Again Juan shrugged. “Who knows. One cannot experiment without the proper ingredients. Cer­tain natives have mysteriously dis­appeared during the past six months. Unconsciously I quickened my step, but when we arrived at Cab­ello’s, Pancho Ortegna was gone.I did not see Um again for two years. Hie second meeting left an even more vivid impres­sion than the first. Jnan and I were renewing our acquaint­ance and discussing old times over a bottle of Cabello’s fine liquor. Across the room an old man was reading a book. “Pancho Ortegna!” I exclaimed suddenly. Juan shook his head. "No, that is no one more important than Cabel­lo’s old father,' who comes here daily to get out of the heat.” Hi-s face became grave. “You are cur­ious about Pancho Ortegna, eh?” I admitted that I was.“Come,” said Juan. And once more I followed him down the blaz­ing street and into the gloomy in­ terior of the shop we had visited before. The object that the shop owner carried when he reappeared sent a cold wave through .my body. There was no mistaking it. It was the shrunken head of Pancho Orteg­na.

Well, for most of the contest it looked as if the rich kid was a cinch to win. Not only did the Diamond connect with everything it went after, bat it seemed to hex the other shooters that at­tempted to hit it. Inspired and made confident by its perform- ' ance, the kid from Wverdale sighted long and carefully, con­sidered the topography of the ground and, when the situation called for extreme measures, even shot from the stomach position. However, as the match entered the tenth and final round, a station wagon pulled up and a hefty Swede of a nursemaid got out.“Ja-ackie,” she shouted. “Din­ner’s almost ready and look at your clothes. You’re a sight!”“Wait a minute,” said the kid, squinting at a marble four feet away. “Albert!” yelled the nursemaid. A chauffeur with big shoulders got out and walked toward the cir­cle. Jackie dropped the Hope Dia­mond in disgust, said “Aw, nutsi” and climbed mto the station wagon. And as it drove away, the blood­shot eye of the blue shooter seemed to wink at the other idayers.Hymie Michemidc picked it up. “This is the last time it’s going to put the squitch on anybody,” he said, and threw it as far as he could. Now, if the Hope Diamond had been an ordinary shooter, the story would end here. But, as I have gone to some pains to make dear, it was not. Propelled by the Michemick muscles, the little ball of fire sailed through the air for SO feet, boimced off a tin can onto the sidewalk, and was picked up an hour later by an intern on his way to the hospital.“I know someone who’U get a real kick out of this,” he said, hand­ing the Hope Diamond shooter to one of the nurses. “Will you give this marble to the patient in room 218.

HOCKSVILLE N, C DECEMBER 21 1949 S i m By Shirley Sargent •PHE VERY NICEST thing about * Henry Ellis, Henry had de­cided, was the fact that he was nine years old. He possessed another at­tribute variously described by his mother as stubbornness, stupidity, and the result of a one track mind.To get something he really wanted, Henry had learned from experience, he alwaj’S had to work hard and long. Pestering his mother for what he wanted came easiest.“Wliy not, Mom?” he begged. "Why can’t I do it? 1 want to more than anything in the world. I’d be so good you wouldn’t know me.” Finally his mother gave in to his endless teasing and what she con­sidered impossible promises."All right, all right,” she said. Soundly sleeping, he lay back in tl!.e chair, in oiie hand a noise- maker; clutched limply in the . other, a large horn. The box in his lap ccntsinsd piles of con-■ fetti. ‘‘We’ll see if you can be good for a whole month and then—weU, we'll see.”His long-awaited goal was in sight, but Henry had to admire his mother’s shrevv\-;ress. Knowing that Rita, who was five, would keep close tab on him, Mrs. Ellis put her in Henry’s charge for the month. Playing nursemaid to a five- year-old was a stern task, even when he could be as nasty as he wanted—but taking care of her on his good behavior was purely awful. All this lime sl'.e \.'ould taint lier demands with “Or I’ll tell mama.” Only once he . told her calmly but desperately, “If I ever have any children, they'U all be boys or all be girls. I’m not going to n-.ake any little boy of mine have a liHls sis­ter. No sir. I’ll give him a turtle or a goat or something he wants, not a little sister.” Rita just barely listened to him before demanding, “Kow be a tur­tle for me, Henry. Crawl like a turtle and pull your head in a shell.” The days crept past Christmas and Henry knew that being good was surely a most terrible experi­ ence. Then at last the month >vas over and he heard his mother ask­ing, "Had enough of being good, Henry?” Feeling it to be a trick question, he answered casually that “. . . would be fun to see the fellows again, and just sort of all over re­lax I” She laughed, encouraging him to go on. “Hey, mom, well, canI do it—you know?” She kissed him, saying, “Yes.” Henry yelled "Hooray” as he ran into his room. Gosh, it had been worth waiting for after all—my but he hated girls, though. Ugh! There were some very important matters to attend to before he was quite ready. They wouldn’t take so long, but the waiting would. He started unwrapping his packages. Thanks to mom, life was really fine. A little before 12 that night Mrs. Ellis, noting the silence, went into Henry’s room. His lights were blaz­ing but the boy was asleep in a chair drawn close to an open win­dow. She walked quietly over be­side him. A whole month—thirty arduous days devoted to being good —he had worked for this night, and now he was asleep with the sum total of his dreams in his lap and fists. Soundly sleeping, he lay back in the chair, in one hand a noise- maker; clutched limply in the other, a large horn. The box in his lap contained piles of confetti, while reams of paper. streamers were laid neatly over’ the chair arms. There was a ridiculous paper hat crushed into the chair back by his head, and, on the table near him, there was another horn. It had a white card tied on it labelled sim­ ply “For mother.” So, she thought, with tears in her eyes, a little man’s plan for one night had included his mother. Sh« shook him gently, settled his hat more perkily on his head, and picked up her own horn. Noise seemed suspended in the air. “Wake up, little one track mind," she said, sitting him up straight “Hiarry and wake up so, you wish me a Happy New-'Year!” ■ Our Sincere Thanks To all our customers throughout this section who gave us a share of their patronage during the year just coming to a close A Merry Christmas And A happy New Year Visit Us Often During 1950 When In Need Of Anything In Our Line Foster-Hupp Feed Mill Wilkesboro St.Mocksville, N.
