It sfings one’s conscience, life and soul. It stings the mind, and oftentimes makes one fit only for the asylum. Certainly sin stings the bodies of men everywhere. We see this all about us. We know that all kinds of sickness and disease is brought upon the human family by the awful sting of sin. Sin'makes people sick phy sically. mentally, morally and spiri tually. It stings and cripples the influence and oftentimes kills it to all that is good and worth while. The sting of sin is felt and seen everywhere. It poisons life. It is no respector of persons. It stings all who will not turn unto God. We are made to wonder why men allow sin to kill them physically, mentally, morally and spiritually, and kill their influence, and finally destroys them in heil, whereas, if they would only turn un’o .God they could live forever not In body, hut in soul. Men will allow sin to sting them, wound them, wreck and de-tooy them, and finally damn them, and seem to make no protest against it. generally speaking, with the ex ception of the minority who turn unto God. We see individuals who have been stung and stung, cursed and blighted by sin. even for years and years, and until they die, and wonder why they don’t turn unto God for help, for salvation, for sal vation, for temporal and eternal relief. If people get into a hornet’s nest, or wasps, or bumblebees, or something else that stings, they hurrv awav and don’t retnrn, nn less if is to kill the hateful beetles. However, thev allow the devil, to sting with sin all the veers of life and nsver seem to make an effort to get awav, or it some of them do. they tnrn back and allow the devil to sting them again and again, ex cept lhe minority who clear the devil’s territory and get over on God’s side. Yes, the sting of sin is dreadfnl. Nothing equals it. A beetle may sting and not kill, but the sting of sin is-alwavs fatal to the soul un less one gets to the Lord Jesus Christ for healing. O sin-stung sonl, turn to Jesns now for healing, lest tomorrow is eternally too late. Bravo, Mr. Kline Charlotte Observer. When Secretarv ot Agriculture Charles F. Brannan did not get an invitation to sneak at the conven tion of the American Farm Bureau Federation, he sent a letter of pro test to the federation president, Al lan B. Kline. His protest was almost a whine. He implied that, Iiecause he was not invited to speak, only one side of the farm program would be heard and that he ought to be there to present the other side. Mr. Kline’s reply was a classic: "The implication in your letter . that a group of free American citizens cannot objectively discuss both sides of questions of policy unless the discussion is guided by some Federal appointee can hardly be made seriously.” It has got so that it is almost im possible to bold a farm meeting of any kind without some Federal ap pointee hustling around, telling the farmers what to discuss, how to discnss it. and trying to tell them what to think. But he is a smooth politician, and in that capacity he had a lot of farmers fooled for a while—e- nough in fact to take several mid- western farm states into the Tru man column. And Mr Brannan feels hurt. DoYoaRm d The Record?

Presented to Smithsonian An Oklahoma school teacher has presented to the Smithsonian insti tution the largest collection ever made of some of this county's most secretive and least-known ani mals—the earthwormlike burrow- ' ing snakes of the Southwest. ! They are insect-eating reptiles that spend their lives buried in sand or under piles of debris. They come to the surface so rarely that they are seldom seen, and very lit tle is known of their ways of life. Study of these obscure reptiles, the Sonora and Tantilla, has been the life hobby of Miss Edith ft. Force of Tulsa, and she has become the world authority on them. Her collection contains more than 2,000 . specimens. Most largely represented are the western ground snakes of the genus Sonora, about a foot long and a quarter-inch or less in diameter. They live under rocks and under piles of debris in city lots. One species—there are eight in all— j have been found buried more than two feet under a sand dune. Ap parently they are rather plentiful, although many persons living in their neighborhood are unaware of their existence. They might be mis taken for very large earthworms. The Sonora are non-poisonous. The rather closely related group, the Tantilla, have grooved "fangs,” ■ however, and probably are mildly poisonous to the large insects on I which they feed, but not to human j beings. They are notable for their ’ long tails, which represent from 15 to 30 per cent of the entire’ length. I Some of the species of Sonora I are banded with red and black rings, while Tantilla usually has a black head, but by and large these little reptiles are sand-colored and depend on their inconspicuousness for their security.

Effect of diet on the sleep habits of the infants under study will be one phase of the in vestigation. Protein content of the diet will be increased by twenty- five percent by feeding the babies especially prepared meats. Special apparatus attached to the crib will record the movement of the chil dren, and will indicate their periods of sleeping and wakefulness. Paint Failures Detected ‘In Bud1 by New Device Invention of a portable instru ment which examines painted sur faces and makes a blueprint of all tiny flaws and holes marking the beginning of paint failure was an- nounced by Professor Max Kron- stein, Marion M. Ward and Robert Roper of the New York university college of engineering. In 1948 Professor Kronstein and his associates developed a way of blueprinting minute failures in pain applied to steel and iron. Paper soaked with a salt solution was sandwiched between th e painted surface and a sheet of aluminum, and the two metals were connected to an electric bat tery. Iron particles were carried by the current through holes in the paint and then deposited on the paper, where they were chemically •developed” into bright blue spots. The new instrument is a vast im provement on the old process be cause it can be plugged into an ordinary electric outlet, thus do ing away with the need for heavy and expensive batteries, and be cause it is light enough to be em ployed in fi-Zd testing, according to the paper presented today. An other new feature is that develop ing solutions have been discovered for metals other than iron it was re ported, so that now paint coatings on aluminum and cadmium, for ex ample, can be tested. Beautiful Mt. Rainier Standing sentinel-like on the west ern edge of the Cascade Range, Ranier overlooks the lowlands that stretch to Puget Sound—about 60 miles distant from Seattle and 50 miles from Tacoma. It covers 100 square miles of territory, or about one-third of the park area. Only two other U. S. peaks—Mount Whitney in California and Mount Elbert in Colorado—surpass it in height. Mount Ranier’s glacial area, equal to 45 square miles and comprising 28 ice streams, exceeds that of any other mountain in the United States. Some of the glaciers creep down as far as the 4,000-foot eleva tion mark, terminating in the thick forests of Douglas fir and Western hemlock which garb the mountain’s flanks. Tips on Cantaloupes It’s not so much of a trick to pick out a ripe, succulent meloh— if you know the rules. Look for one that has a ground color of light green to yellow with coarse corky grayish netting that stands out against the background. The cal loused scar at the stem end should be slightly, sunken. You might smell it, too; a ripe cantaloupe has a distinct and pleasant odor. And don’t be misled by the fact that the melon is soft at the blossom end. It may be soft from too much handling!

Vets Build Hog Feeders The Veter_ns farmer training class of the Farmington School took for their shop project dur ing the months of November and December, the building of self- feeders for swine. There are 18 members of the class and each one buili' a self-feeder for use on his home farm. There are many advantages of the self feeders, such as the feed ing of balanced rations to swine and for rapid and economical gains of the animals. They are great labor savers in the feeding of swine. The veteran instructor at Farm ington is C. H. Craven, and the members of the class are Albert Anderson, Robert Beck, Charles Carter, Lester Booe, Walter Car ter, William Carter, Ben Ellis, Eu gene Foster, Rov Jarvis, Joe and Kelly Smith, Vivian Speaks, Wil liam Spillman, John Pilcher, Gar vey Brannon, Hugh Crutchfield, Roger Mock and HomeriPotts.

Our County And Social Security Bv Mrs. Ruth G. Duffv, Manager. The November Health Bulletin published monthlv by the N. C. State Board of Health states that North Carolina was one of the first states to practice tuberculosis control in cooperation with the U. S. Public Health Service. We have many reasons for being proud of our state, and this is one of them. This program is another in which your Federal and State Governments co-operate for the welfare of the citizens. The U. S. Pubiic Health Services come un der the Federal Security Agency just as does Old-Age and Surviv ors Insurance. However, this of fice does not have anything to do with Public Health Activities. That Program is administered by the State with financial assistance from the Federal Government. The State on the other hand does not administer Old-Age and Surviv ors Insurance. In North Carolina there are 13 Federal Offices for this purpose. These offices ser vice the people in their respective :a. If you have any questions about Old-Age and Survivors In surance, you should get in touch with the office located at 437 Nis- sen Building, Winston-Salem, N. C Now, consider the following questions about your Old-Age and Survivors Insurance program: Have you explained to your wife that she, in the event of your death, should get in touch with this office? Have you told your wife that she and the children (if under 18) may receive monthly survivors in surance payments based on your earnings? Have you discussed with your parents, if you are not matried, the insurance protection vou have under your Federal Ins. policy? Have vou given any thought to the possible benefits you may be entitled to when vou become 65 and ietire; or, if you are now 65 or older, have you inquired about the jnsurance protection you may have? Have you always shown your account number card to your em ployer so that he could copy your name and number on his records exactly as they appear- on your card? If you can answer “yes” to the above questions you can be sure that neither you nor your family will lose any benefits you have helped pay for with the deduct ions which have been taken out of your pay checks. I will be in Mocksville on Wed nesday, Jan. 25th, 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. THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLEt N. C. BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Butterflies, Beetles, Cyanide Make a 'Surprise' Vengeance -By BILLY ROSE- When Martin Quint, 71, married Kllie Reynolds, 34,- their friends in Nyack didn’t give the union much chance of success. Five years later, however, they were ready to admit they had been wrong— Elhe was doing a good job of taking care of Martin, and as for the old coot—well, he was a lot friendlier than anyone had ever thought possible. On their fifth anniversary, Martin sent EUie to New York on an errand, fiUed the parlor with gifts and paper curlicues, and invited a dozen neighbors in for a surprise party. The plan was for a lookout at the railroad depot to phone when he saw Elhe get off the train, and then they would turn out the lights and hide. When EUie walked in and turned them on again, everyone would yeU, “Sur prise!” WeU, what hap pened was a sur prise, all right, but - * there was no yeU- ^ 'jy, ing. As the front door opened, Quint and his guests heard Ellie whis- p e r, “Sssh! H e might be awake.” “I don’t like this sneaking around,” said the voice of a man. “Why don’t you ask him for a di vorce?” “Think I’m crazy? He doesn’t figure to live much longer, and I’m pretty sure to get the savings and insurance. Thanks for taking me home. See you Tuesday at the reg ular time.” Then EUie closed the door and switched on the lights .... B illy B ose AFTER THE embarrassed guests had left, she said to her husband, "I suppose you want me to pack.” “Why should I?” said Martin. “It’s only human nature for you to take up with someone nearer your own age.” “Don’t you want a divorce?” "No! unless you insist on it. All I ask is that you stop seeing the young man as long as I’m alive. If yotill agree and put it in writ- ing, I'll fix it so you’ll get every cent I’ve got.’’ And that’s how it was arranged. An agreement was signed ' and locked in the wall safe, and the couple went on living together. Of course, the neighbors gos siped a lot, particularly when it was whispered around that Ellie was still seeing the young man, but their talk seemed to make no impression on Martin. Instead, he busied him self with a new hobby—the study of insects—and spent most of his waking hours in a spare room over the garage, mounting butterflies and beetles on small exhibit boards. “I wouldn’t mention this around,” he told his wife. “As it is, people think I’m not quite all there.” One evening, just after Ellie had brought him the usual glass of warm milk, Martin began to have convulsions. Ellie phoned the doc tor that her husband was having a heart attack, but by the time he arrived the old man was dead. The doctor examined the body, then called the coroner, and an hour later the corpse, together with the empty milk glass, was taken away. * • • EARLY THE following morning, a detective rang Ellie’s doorbell. “I have a warrant for your arrest,” he said. “According to the coroner, your husband died of cyanide poisoning, and the drug store in town reports that 'you = (*( A Song for Comfort T HE things that are too hard to bear God does not bid me bear.

"Can I see th is labora tory,?’’ Ellie led the way up the garage 1 stairs and opened the door. There was nothing in the room but a The Fiction * BENNY WISES UP By P r Richard H. Wilkinson Corner BENNY got a big kick out of eavesdropping on the sheriff. It smacked of adventure and the wild life he loved. He got a bigger kick when he heard Sheriff Conrad mention Slick Dearborn. Slick Dearborn was the smartest outlaw with whom Conrad had ever _____________h a d to contend. I [He w a s Benny’s3-Minute idol, for he repre- Fiefinn sented the danger- NCYIOII QUS Jreedom of which th e b oy had always dreamed. One day three weeks ago Benny had seen Slick in the Faraway Saloon, and something about the worshipful look in the youngster’s eyes had attracted the outlaw’s attention. Benny had been almost speech less with gratitude when the outlaw spoke to him. They had a long con versation, and when it was over Benny knew a sense of importance that was almost the fulfillment of his dreams. Ear glued to the side of the building. Benny held his breath while Sheriff Conrad and his deputy, Joe Hicks, carried on their low-voiced conversation. At 4 o’clock that afternoon Benny drew rein in the secret canyon where Slick was hiding. He gave the secret whistle that he and the outlaw had agreed upon, then waited breathlessly. Minutes passed and nothing hap pened. Benny moved down the can yon a ways and whistled again. Sud denly two men emerged from be hind a boulder. One of them was Slick Dearborn. Benny shouted at them. “Slick, I just heard the sheriff and his deputy talkin’. They found out it was you who held up the bank last week, an’ they know At four o’clock that afternoon Benny drew rein in the secret canyon where Slick was hiding. you’re hidin’ up here an’ they’re comin to get yuh.”“You come with us,” said Slick shortly. “Nemmine keepin’ guard,” Slick called, and vHie other out law slid back to the ground. “We gotta get out of here and git fast. Kid, did anyone see yon leave town?” “No, sir. Not a soul. I done jest like you told me.” “Good. You’re cornin’ with us.” The second outlaw came from be hind a screen of bushes riding one horse and leading another. Slick swung aboard the extra animal. There came the sound of a shot. T h e second outlaw uttered a scream, clutched at his breast and plunged from the saddle. A second shot followed, and Slick’s mount went to its knees. CLICK SWORE VIOLENTLY as Benny crawled up beside him. “You damned little rat! Thought you said nobody followed you out of town?” “Honest Slick—” “Shut up!” Suddenly Slick seized him around the middle and leaped out of plain view of the two com ing up the canyon. The pair reined in, holding their fire as the out law, using Benny as a shield, began shooting rapidly. Sheriff Conrad and Joe Hicks, sensing the bandit’s purpose, flung themselves from the saddle and scurried for shelter. Benny suddenly understood the purpose he was serving, suddenly knew that Slick was using him as a means of protecting his own hide.“Slick! Slick! Lemme go. They’ll blast me down in cold blood!” “Shut up, you rat” Slick brought the barrel of his gun down crush- ingly on the boy’s head. Benny gasped, struggled feebly, then went limp . . . When Benny opened his eyes he found Sheriff Conrad and Joe Hicks bending over him. “Feeling better, kid?” “Ye-e-ss. I’m all right. Where’s —Slick?” “Taken care of.” Sheriff Conrad eyed Benny intently. “Listen, Ben ny, you better get home before your maw begins to worry. You can say you helped us run down Slick Dear born. Fact is, you did. When we saw you talkin’ with him three weeks ago we figured somethin’ like this, which is why we did some talkin’ so you could lead us to where he was.” “Gosh!” said Benny. There were tears in his eyes. For the first time in his life he realized what a per fectly swell guy Sheriff Conrad was. SSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS LDetest S. Fish 8. Top IOfCity(Peru)11.

Radiant Heating Use Valuable to Farmers Its Advantages Outweigh Initial Expensive Costs Radiant heating, one of the new est developments in construction of farm buildings, has many advan tages which outweigh its high ini tial cost, , according to a publication dealing with building methods, ma terials and techniques. ' As an example of a successful radiant heating system, the publi cation describes the installation of This double Quonset turkey house, measuring 60 by 220 feet, has radiant heating to maintain a temperature between 50 and 70 degrees in winter. The house holds about 3,500 breeder hens, or 20,000 poults. such a system in a turkey house on the farm of W. E. Wright in Mitch ell county, Iowa. This house, a double Quonset measuring 60 by 220 feet, is heated by hot water which circulates through copper tubing imbedded in concrete floor slabs. The radiant heated floor is di vided into quarters, enabling the temperature of each zone to be reg ulated independently. The tempera ture usually is kept between 50 and 70 degrees in the winter. About 3,500 breeder hens, or 20,000 poults can be housed in the building and can be cared for by three men. Water for the system is heated by an oil burner in a room on the south side of the structure. Supplementary unit heaters are used when required during extremely cold weather. The story of the radiant heating system used in the turkey house described was carried in the Amer ican Builder magazine. Making Most of Rain Whether your farm loses two or 20 tons of topsoil per acre yearly due to erosion, depends on how you handle the water that falls on slo ping fields. Making rain work for instead of against you, is largely a matter of good soil management. Agrono mists have found that soils Idgh in organic matter soak up more water quickly and store it for growing crops. Water “walks” instead of runs off well-managed land that has the benefit of soil-building rotations, deep-rooted legumes, plenty of fer tilizer and conservation tillage methods. Water makes a quick get away on naked, overcropped land that has been mined of its organic matter and plant nutrients. Tractor Wheels Need RegularServicing The front wheels of farm tractors work under dusty conditions and unless they are serviced and ad justed regularly they will need re pairs. Replacement of front wheel bear ings will cost approximately $37 per bearing, and there are four of them in the front wheels, says S. L. Vogel, assistant farm engi- neer of the North Dakota agri cultural extension service. T w o methods of lubricating front wheel bearings are used on modem tractors, Vogel said. One is the hand packed method. The wheels should be removed at least once a year, cleaned, and bearings repacked with wheel bearing grease. • Feedlot Meat Tonnage Increased During Year More meat tonnage produced in feedlots this fall and winter as a result of a generally favorable feed ing ratio will provide consumers with a more adequate meat supply in the months ahead, according to H. M. Conway, livestock market analyst. A near-record 1949 com crop, added to the heavy carry-over from 1948, plus a generally plentiful sup- oly of roughage helped supplies. Beginner-Easy!

Many -textile workers have reported the wonderful relief which has been brought them by HADA- COL with its fiveB vitamins and four important minerals. Two of these workers,’ a young father employed by the great Cannon Mills at Kan- -napoUs, N. C., and a mother, work ing at Si mill, in nearby .Salisbury, N. C., recently told how HADA- ' CtiL had helped keep-them on the Job:.Jay W, Bamhardt, Beute 3, Box 343, Kan napolis, N. C, is, * Ji j 30 years old and the proud father-L 4J of two children. Mr. Barnhardt His work in the Cannon Mdls calls for a- great deal of standing up. “I had been ill for several-years,” said Mr. Barahardt as he explained how close he came to having to give up his work. “I suffered with a weak stomach. It became worse and worse with gastric disturbances. I Just could not hold food.and .no food agreed with me. I could hot sleep and finally I became so sick that my legs got weak as I worked in the miu each day.” Mr. Bamhardt, like so many suf ferers, had tried many preparations without relief, when he heard about HADACOL. “After the second bottle of HADACOL I began to feel better and; to regain the weight I had lost,” said Mr. Bamhardt. “My digestion became normal again and today I am as well as ever. My legs no longer .bother me. I eat-and enjoy my food. I .sleep well -and have plenty of energy.” Mr. Bamhardt has taken several bottles of HADACOL and now lakes the famous vitamin and mineral preparation to help stay well. He . has-had, his'wife take it with won derful -results and has recommended it to his friends in the mill. Mrs. Maggie H. Poole, 1503 Caro line Avenue,-in’Salisbury, N. C, had become so ill that she was forced to give up her work, but soon after hearing the. wonderful news - about HADACOL she was back on the Job and has been doing swell ever since. “I was tired, weak and nervous,” said Mrs. Poole. “I suffered indi gestion and food didn’t agree with me. I also had headaches. After tak ing five bottles of HADACOL I felt good and wag. back, on the job at the mill. I had tried so many things that the HADACOL news was a real blessing to me. I have more appetite and eat what I want to. I feel better than I have in a long time.” Mr. Bamhardt and Mrs. Poole were both suffering from a lack of B Vitamins -and the Minerals which HADACOL contains. HADACOL comes to you in liquid form, easily assimilated in the blood stream so that it can go to work right away.- A lack of only a small amount of B Vitamins and certain minerals win cause digestive disturbances... VoUr food will r, not i % you have_ stomach . . . You,! wUl suffer from heartburn, g a s pains and yourj food wiU sour on1 ■ your stomach and ■ you wiU not be, I " able to eat the things you like1—1— - for fear of being Mrs. Poole in misery afterwards. Many people' also suffer from constipation. Mid while these symptoms may be the results of other causes, they are surely and certainly the signs of lack of B Vitamins and Minerals which-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, there fore, why countless thousands have been benefited by this amazing tonic, HADACOL. So it matters not how old you are or who you are . . . it matters not where you live or if you have tried all the medicines under the sun, give this wonderful preparation HADACOL 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 because HADACOL supplied the vitamins and minerals which they systems needed. Be fair to yourself. Tempo rary relief is not enough for you. vive HADACOL a trial! Insist on the genuine HADACOL. Don’t be misled. Accept no substi tute. Sold at all leading drug stores. Trial size only $1.25, but save money; buy the large family and hospital size, only $3.50. If your druggist does not handle HADACOL, order direct from the LeBlanc Corporation, Lafayette, La., and when the postman brings your package just pay the amount plus-the c-o.d. and postage. If you remit with the order we will pay the postage; ’• Then, if,you don’t feel .peHertly satisfied alter using. HADACOL M directed, just return the empty carton and your money wffi bo cheer- rully refunded. Hotfaing could ,’be fairer.—Any.

C. .!W f, Gl DRi 'W tfEA R ^iD fi Fascist Neighbors ' DECENT REVOLUTION ai»d riot ^ ing in' Latin America' has: pointed up what the American pub lic has long dimly realized, name ly that while we are fighting Com munism in Europe, we axe losing out to fascism at our.- own front door. Panama, which surrounds the most important waterway in the world so far as the United States is concerned, is now in the hands of a dictator, Amulfo Arias, who had roots in Germany and Italy during the days of Hitler and Mus solini. Just before Pearl Harbor,: we considered him such a menace the United States helped :to. euchre him out of the presidency. In Colombia, a country /equally vital to the strategic waterway- which links east-west shipping, the bloodiest riots in history haye'Been taking place. Approximately'1,000 people have been killed, and a Fascist party, deliberately aided and abetted by dictator- Franco di: Spain, has instituted such terror, that it was impossible to hold ,two- way elections. While U. S. senators have been guzzling dictator Franco’s lush wines in Madrid. Franco has been pulling the'rng right out from under U. S. policy in one of the most important countries in the -Pan-American - union. Months ago Laureano Gomez, now the Colombian strong man, went to Madrid and arranged with Franco to have his . shock Falange forces smuggled into Colombia dis guised in the robes of priests. Bloodshed and rioting has followed ever since.* * * Truman’s Idea In the White House, Harry. Tru man speaks glowingly of his visits to Mexico and Brazil. He is also delighted at the prospect of . mak ing a trip to Chile,- He considers Pan-American relations one of his most important policies, and if anyone walked in and told him the good-neighbor policy had bogged down, he just wouldn’t believe it. But the trouble with President Triunan is that he thinks of' Pan-: American friendship in terms of getting out a lot of flags and the brass bands to greet President Dutra of Brazil. He doesn’t realize that the good-neighbor policy must be closely coordinated and care fully carried out every day of the year. Over in the state department, meanwhile, one of the best young men in some years, Edward Mil ler, is assistant secretary for Latin America. Miller was bom in Puer to Rico, speaks SpanishJ knows Latin America intimately, works hard at his job. Over in the exportrimport bank, also, far more loans have been ad vanced in Latin America than most people realize. But a successful good-neigh bor policy isn’t built up merely by dumping money into Latin America, or giving rousing welcomes to visiting pan-Amer ican potentates. Today we have a lot of well-, meaning cogs in our • diplomatic machinery, but sometimes they seem to be turning separately and in different dlrectitinsr ‘in brief, the gears do not mesh. • * * Jesse Jones’ Rival It looks like Jesse Jones, long considered the financial czar and once an aspiring political czar of Texas, now has a real rival. He is Texas oil tycoon Glenn McCarthy of Houston, who recently helped mastermind “Sam' Rayburn 'D ay McCarthy already has buiR a swank 15-story hotel in Houston, the Shamrock, and now aspires to build a new business center on the outskirts of Houston. To finance] it, McCarthy is reported in"-the' market for an RFC loan, and it was considered significant that he sent his plush stratbliher ' private airplane to Washington to fly some RFC officials to Houston for “Sam Rayburn Day.” Taking the free ride to Texas for the big Democratic jamboree- were James Consodine, RFC con troller, and Allen Freeze, his as sistant, with their two wives, Neith-: er is a Texan. Another RFC official, Narvin Weaver, assistant loan manager, declined an invitation because, lie admitted afterward, “It might not . look right.” It is seldom that an ’ official has such scruples and re fuses a free ride for this reason. Of course, Jesse Jones, when head of the powerful RFC, did not hesitate to accept trips in a private ear on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at a time when he was lending RFC mon ey to that road. And it will be ' interesting to see whether ;■ Jesse’s rival now will get a loan from the RFC. Note— Democratic political fac tions in Houston were split over the Sam Rayburn' celebration. While Sam is personally popular with all ranks of Democrats, the Old Gu^d|^id_not pp.operate. - -WEEKLY NEWS AITA£YS$ ^ L l—1 — ^ DeciiiQi Ileclares i f SXShiS:=-Reci find it relatively easyto,-abandon- all ren t:curbs ?when" the -'presShti “home-rule” ^aet expires. -*-- Butj in rview'jjof what had hap pened %i fetonra?-iSoiatfe'd 'tfeftsSedih1 rental charges, congress might leave the way open for restoration of controls wherever .'landlords dis played fa tendepcgr.

C. lli Ii MIRROR Ol Your MIND AdjustLifeto ^ ‘Second Choice' By Lawrence Gould k f m Can you learn to love a “second choice” mate? Answer: Certainly—in the same way in which you can succeed at a job or occupation that is not the one you would have liked best: by adjusting yourself to it and making the most of the opportun ities it offers. Por love is not the emotion of a moment and does not depend on finding an ideal part ner. Xt grows out of years of shar ing ordinary tasks and pleasures. The one thing that may keep you from learning to love someone who is not your first choice is childish resentment at the fact that you could not get what you wanted. Does adjustment depend «n self-knowledge? Answer: Yes, writes Prof. Ar thur W. Combs of Syracuse Uni versity. There is no use telling a neurotic that he must adjust himself to things as they are be cause he cannot see them. He can’t “face reality” because it seems to him to threaten his idea of himself, and he unconsciously distorts it so as to make it less painful and disturbing. (A man, for example, may “see” his em ployer as unfair because he can’t admit that he himself is lazy.) No immediate problem, therefore, is .as vital as helping the person see himself more clearly. Is anyone too old for ' Psychiatry? Answer: On the whole, No. There are types of'psychiatric treatment —especially psychoanalysis—which are' likely to be ineffective with elderly people or .with "rigid” per sonalities. But unless you are com pletely set against accepting - new ideas and viewpoints, a psychia trist can at least help you to achieve new "insights”—to show you, for instance, how to get on better with your family. And of recent years success has been re ported even with people who are actually senile by medico-psychia tric treatments like “shock.” LOOKING AT RELIGION By DON MOORE QOIAlHQ SOOt^fX&rCmKH M THE WOHlO .

Barton I WBITE FROM time to time of the serious effects of noise, not only on hearing but on the entire nervous system. Experiments have shown that the work of clerks and typists may be reduced by as much as 40 per cent in a noisy office. In “Industrial Medicine,” Dr. W. E. Grove states that excessive noise is a health hazard and should be regarded as a liability by any industrial manager. Efforts made to remove or prevent noise will in crease the working ability of the workers to a marked degree. Not all ears are equally suscepti ble to noise. The ears of the young are more likely to be damaged by noise than those of persons, of. middle life or advanced age. The least amount of noise that the human ear can detect is called a decibel, and hearing is not dam aged in any way if noise is not more than 90 decibels, that is, if the noise is not prolonged. In ad dition to the loudness or intensity of the noise other factors must be considered, such as: total length of exposure to the noise, whether the sound is continuous or inter rupted, the length of the interrup tion, whether the sound reverber ates, the age of the worker and presence of previous ear disease. .Unfortunately, noise damages the hearing and the nervous sys tem in such a slow and subtle man ner that the worker pays no at tention to it until he is quite deaf. Now . we all realize that there are, at present anyway, some noises ’that' are necessary to our way of life, but there are many unnecessary noises that can and must be prevented to preserve the hearing of workers and the public generally; noisy auto horns, poor brakes, lack of oil in industrial machines, barking dogs and others. The Noise Abatement Society, and the Committee on Conserva tion of Hearing. American Acade my of Otolaryngology and Opathal- mology, are doing their part to re duce noise in industry and in ci vilian life. In addition to loss of hearing, noise, by keeping us tensed and alert, brings on fatigue much sooner.

There are cases where the patient, the parents and the family physician do not wish tonsils re moved by sinrgery and other meth ods may be used.•1 * * One exercise known to all physi cal directors, rolling the shoulders upward and backward (shrugging the shoulders), is an effective method of holding ud the shoulders. %International Uniiorm Sunday School Lessons By PR. KEHNETH J. FOREMAN SCRIPTURE: Acts 2:1-41. DEVOTIONAL READING: Joel 2:28- The Church Dynamic Lesson for January 8, 1950 THE CHURCH is not meant to be a club, a lecture-hall, a debat ing society, a rest_ home, a music hall, an entertainment bureau or a burial association. It has some thing to do along all these lines, of course. But the Church is meant to be a place and channel of power. One of the last things Jesus, the Founder of t h e Church, said to his friends was: “Ye shall receive pow er when the Holy Spirit’ is come up on you.” Not—you shall receive com- Dr. Foreman fort, or wealth, or insight, or any other good thing, though all of them have their place. What Jesus highlights is power. Drl W. M. Horton, in his little book on the Christian faith, asks: When is a church not a church? His answer is: When it has lost the Holy Spirit. That is a good New Testament answer. The early Christmas could not have imagined a church with out the Hoiy Spirit, because in fact there bad never been one without him. It was the coming of the Spirit on that summer day in Jerusalem that actually made the church, in the first place. True, it was not mads out of nothing. But suppose the Spirit had never come? What would have happened? Sooner or later the little band would have grown tired of waiting, would have given up faith in Jesus’ prom ise, would, have drifted off one by one, and the Christian church would have died before it was bom. * * * Tongues of Fire ■THERE SEEMS to be something * mystic, mysterious and unreal about, the Holy Spirit, to most peo ple’s minds. We read in Acts about the flaming tongues of fire, about the rushing mighty wind, about Christians talking in strange lan guages; and then we go to our own church and find, there no fire, no wind; only ordinary English is spoken by everyday people, the same people we have been seeing all week. We get to thinking the Holy Spirit is just something in the Bible, some experience they could have away back yonder, but not here and now. After all, looking over the church from that day to this, and around the world at the present day, how many cases, authentic genuine cases of fire-on-the-head or storm-in-the- church-house, do you find? Not many! Does that show the Holy Spirit is not here any more? We must remember that St. FauI met with much the same questions. Did a man have to speak in strange tongues to be sure he had the Holy Spirit? Fortunately, Paul stated in so many words what the fruits of the Spirit are: Love, joy, peace .. . Look up the rest of it in Gal. 3:22-23. You may take St. Paul’s in spired word for it: If you over see a church, a Christian group, that is notable for love, joy, peace . . . gentleness, goodness, faith . . . you may be sure the Holy Spirit is there. Wo do not gather grapes from thorns nor figs from thistles, Jesus says. You don’t have the fruits of the Spirit without having the Spirit. And that is Power. Said a great Austral ian preacher: Show me a church where the members treat one an other with more real love than the people outside the church treat one another, and you will find men crowding the doors of that church to get in. « * » How Can We Get the Holy Spirit? WE CANNOT GET the Spirit by wishing ourselves back in the first century. We can have the Holy Spirit now, on the same terms as always. There are no new condi tions, no complicated rules, no ap plication blanks to fill out. Jesus said: God will give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him; Paul said: Covet earnestly the best gifts. In any church, if there is even a small group who want the power of God in their lives, who want his power for the chnrch, that little group can change that church and change the community. Power passes through a wire when one end of it is attached to a dynamo and the other end to a ma chine that is doing some work. Prayer—that is the touch with God. Service—that is the link with man. So power will flow through the Church when at one end it is in touch with God, and at the other end it is doing something real for human needs. * * * MVSSHOID m u 10$.., Let Salads Add Color to Meals (See Recipe Belotvi Accent on Salads JUST ABOUT THIS TIME of year, many homemakers get into a rut about their salads.

Unfortunately, care lessness rather than poor equip ment is the cause of most of these accidents. A good place to begin checking for safety is with the floors. Slip pery floors can cause serious falls. Do you make a habit of mopping up after each spill? Burns and scalds make up one- fourth of the kitchen accidents. Do you always use thick, dry. pot holders? Do you turn all handles and kettle spouts to the wall so that children cannot reach them and your clothes will not catch on them? Do you always lift the lids from kettles and pressure cookers so that the steam escapes from you? Sharp knives and broken glass cause many cuts. Do you handle sharp knives and glassware with care? Do you have a convenient cutting board? Do you have a knife rack for storing knives when they are not in use? Modern electrical equipment and appliances can save you much time in your kitchen. However it is important to use electrical equipment and appliances proper'y. Do you always take time to read th e manufacturer’s instructions whenever you get a new piece of equipment? If you have children in your family, do you make sure that electric cords are out of their reach? DAVIE BRICK COMPANY DEALERS IN GOOD COAL Day Phone 194 - NiprhL Fhnne 119 MncKsviile, N.

Ambulance S t-vice Australia’s Arnhem Land Yields Rare Cattle Egret The cattle egret—often pointed out to travelers on the Nile as the sacred ibis of ancient Egyptian legend—has been found in northern Australia ,according to a cable to Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the National Geographic society, from Charles P. Mountford, leader of the society’s jointly sponsored Arnhem Land expedition. Fairly common in Africa but pre viously unrecorded in Australia, the bird (Bubulcus ibis) is one of 110 species noted by Herbert G. Deignan, Smithsonian institution ornithologist, in his first week of bird classifying in the billabongs (small lakes) of Arnhem Land’s East Alligator river section. 150 miles east of Darwin. The cattle egret, or cattle heron, made similar news about two dec ades ago, when it was first noted in South America. It has since been seen frequently in Venezula and the Guianas. White plumage predominates on the cattle egret, but back feathers show a rusty buff hue. It is one of the smallest of the world’s Ionh- necked, stilt-legged family of wading birds. Agricultural Experiment Station The world’s first agricultural ex perimental station (and still one of the most famous) was Rothamsted in Hertfordshire. England, devel oped in the middle years of the last century by John Lawes, who “invented” superphosphate, and in so doing made enough money to finance the center. At Rothamsted the foundations of modern fertilizer practice were laid, the imnortance of soil micro-organisms first em phasized, and the possibilities of soil fertilization first exploited Re search into soil science and agro nomics is still carried on there, some of it on by far the oldest con tinuously maintained test field in the world.

R4 A man with no learning who has God In his life and soul will con. duct himself tar more wisely than a man who has great learning, but is a sinner. It takes God to bal ance us right. The devil always puts his best picture In front so as to attract at. tention and allure men into sin and away from God, but he has a very dark and dreadful picture In the background that he doesn't reveal until he has has caught his victim. Beware of the devil’s ailnring pic tures. If we walk with God on earth we shall dweli with Him in heayen. 0 that’men everywhere would cease to walk with the devil, who is lead, ing them to bell, and go to walk, ing with God: I have never seen a person who had very much of this world that 1 thought had much of God, or had much godlines, unless be was giv ing to God’s cause macb of bis his earthty possessions. If a man supports anything with his life, means and influence, and whatever he supports is do*ng more harm than good, be is simply wast. ing his life and neglecting the gold, en opportunities that God presents to him throngh which he could do mnch good. If the devil is continually laying plans and setting traps to catch vou. don’t despair. As long as yon are not in his trap he doesn’t have will be watchful and prayerful, humble and obedient unto God, you will travel heavenward. Beware of anything that comes to town that the masses go after and fall for. Remember the world doesn’t go after God and the things of God. If a man says be has found some, thing good by way of creed, or doctrine, or cult, or a religion, he goes for it, but in the meantime it has a had effort npon him, then you may prettv well know that he is on the wrong road, therefore go in the opposite direction. Anything that keeos Gods and His truth out of a man's heart, soul and life certaintv isn’t fit to go after although the devil dresses it' up In a nice looking garb. More Monkey - Business We learn from Tax Outlook, that relentless publication cf the Tax Foundation that is forever digging up unexpected facts about how the government spends our monev, that tbs American taxpay ers are paying for $8.8 million worth of raisins that onght to be eaten bv humans hut are being fed to hops The reason for this nonsensical Drocednre is the same old fhing, The price of raisins threatened to drop below the level that that the government bad promised the growers. The bright hoys in the Commodity Credit Corporation had a brilliant idea. Tbey told the raisins growers to sell the raisins to hog growers for hog feed. But the hog ra’ser would pav onIy I30 a ton for raisins to feed the hogs, Lnd so the CCC agreed to oav the raisin growers the other $80 a ton. We, the taxpayers, of course, nay that $80. But wa also pay a higher price for our raisins, if we can afford them, and also fot our raisin-fed pork. In another program the Depart, ment of AgricnIture will keep the price of apples ont of reach of low. income families by buying them tip for school lnnches. so that they can be given to the children of those same Iowinrome families that can’t afford them because the govern ment is keeping the price u p b y bnying up the apples to give to their children.

They buried him;- then everyone stood around the filled grave expectantly, waiting for someone to - say a few good words for the de ceased. AU tongues were silent. At last one man, who had known the deceased longest, lifted his hand. “Friends,” he said with heartfelt feeling, "ol' Jim used to shoot a mighty good hand at marbles, as a kid.” Greater Vision Consciousness Educators and psychologists are finding that vision is a far more important factor in a child’s whole development than has been real ized. About 80 per cent of a child’s school work depends on vision. The child who cannot see properly has trouble reading and may fall be hind his class. Then he may be come a behavior problem. Every child wants to excel in something. If he cannot compete in school work he may turn to anti-social activities. He may lie, or cheat, or steal to draw attention to himself. JuvenUe. courts in Toledo, Ohio, and Denver, Colo., to mention but two have found that visual prob lems are abnormally high among juvenile delinquents. Seeing well and comfortably is important to normal living, and the child who has difficulty is likely to show it in his personality development Two Famous Writers Thomas Hardy, the great English novelist, was not nearly so brilliant a conversationalist as he was an author. At a London dinner party, Hardy sat next to another famous writer. The two had never met be fore their hostess introduced them. Halfway through the meal, the only, words they had spoken to each other were “How do you do.” Sud denly Hardy looked up from his plate and said, “Do you talk?” The other gruffly replied, “No.” “Neither do I,” grunted Hardy, thereupon settling back and finish ing his dinner in silence. Insect Pollination Colorado’s honey production in 1948 was estimated at 6.840.000 pounds, worth $1,012,000, according to U.S. department of agriculture figures. But this is only a small part of the picture. Entomologists claim that honeybees are respon sible for more than 80 per cent of all insect pollination and that at least 50 crops depend upon the in sects for pollination or yield more abundantly when insects are plen tiful. Included in these 50 crops are cabbage, cantaloupe, carrots, onion, alfalfa seed, apples, some peaches, pears, cherries—just to mention nine. ArchaeoIogIeaI Workers Discover Earliest Home Discovery of what is probably the earliest house found in North America—a below-ground struc ture probably occupied by the pre- I historic Cochise Indians about j 5,000 years ago—has just been re- . ported by Dr: Fhul S. Martin, lead er of the southwest archaeological expedition of Chicago Natural his tory museum excavating in New Mexico. Dr. Martin is the mu seum’s chief curator of anthro pology. Dr. Martin tells also of uncover ing an above-ground “house of mystery” which evidently was oc cupied about the time William the Conqueror was invading England, or possibly as early as A.D. 950, and abandoned probably about A. D. 1100. It represents the first American effort at “slum clearance.” Dr. Martin writes from the ex pedition camp in Pine Lawn Val ley in west central New Mexico about 100 miles north of Silver City: “Tucked away deep In a forest and situated on a narrow penin sula between tw o convergent stream beds, one of which still carries water, is an ancient ham let. Our staff calls this pueblo ‘the house of mystery’ because it has revealed so many curious and un explainable features. “The pueblo contains six rooms, all built on top of the ground. The walls are made up of crude bould ers and pebbles. But this primitive masonry is the earliest in the area and has been dubbed ’dawn mason- ' ry.’ Indians who occupied earlier villages in this area did not live in surface houses with stone walls, but in underground units—‘pit- houses,’ usually about 12 feet in diameter and 3 feet deep. The ‘house of mystery’ is the first village made up of contiguous rooms with masonry walls, built I on top of the ground—thus, it rep- 1 resents one at American aboriginal man’s earliest efforts to pull him self upward, to improve his homes —a sort of ancient ‘slum clearance’ project. In the rooms were found corn-grinding mills, stone ax-heads, hammerstones and bone, awls.” Spread of MastUis If mastitis is present in even one cow in a herd, the milker’s hands or teat cups of the milking machine may spread the infection to other cows, recent experiments showed. Throughout a period of 15 weeks, mastitis-infected milk was applied to the teats of 18 healthy cows prior to each milking, and by the end of that period, 12 of them had devel oped this udder disease. Veterinary medical authorities say this experi ment emphasizes the need for sys tematic disinfection in dairy barns, with special attention to udders, milkers’ hands, and milking equip ment. Video Room Wall Colors Have Bearing on Vision The color of your living room walls have a lot to do with how well you see television. Middle and light-middle colors are best for the "video room" the company says. These ranges ex clude the colors that will interfere with vision by absorbing or reflect ing light excessively. The wall directly behind the screen is the key to the room’s color scheme. It should be from specified ranges and must be flat finish. Glossy surfaces act like a mirror, reflecting light from any source in the room. Use of the proper color ranges is no problem to the decorator. In recent years a large number of new colors has been made avail able to everybody. Television does not require a dark, drab living room. When the set is not in use and all the lights are turned on, the room can have exactly the character the home owner desires. It is pointed out that the sug gested colors are right in line with current color fashions, medium dark walls being popular today. U n c le S a m S a y s e H O P•fe te s E M L YJot X M A S Luminous Paint One of the most important sur faces to which luminous paint can be applied is the edge of a door. Left ajar frequently, doors can prove real collision hazards, and broken toes, as well as “authentic” black eyes can result. A luminous vertical stripe along the edge of door frame can also serve as a guiding light. A narrow stripe along the edge of the window still facilitates the opening or closing of a window during the night hours. Stripes along the edges of bureaus, night stands, dressing tables and benches are also ef fective. Phones can be painted if it is permissible. If not, the plastic cases available to cover phones can be so treated. Tou can already hear the jingle of Christmas bells and the merry laughter of Santa Claus.

Our County And Social Security Bv Mrs. Ruth GvDuffy, Manager. I hope each of you had a very happy Christmas -the time when love, generosity, and devotion pre vail in families all over the world. The family has always been re garded as the basie unit of our ci vilization. Every individual re gards the family as important to him, and home and family are synonymous to most of us. Also, the laws of this country are built around the family and tend to op erate to preserve the familv. The Social SecurityAct takes into con sideration the families id its var ious provisions. When anything happens tothe wage earner in the family, na'.jrally the security of the whole family is at once threa tened. Today, the town or city family is wholly dependent upon the pay check. The cash it repre - sents must buy every material thing necessary to family life. There are several common dis asters that may overtake the wage earner. I will mention three of these because the Social Security Act recognizes them. The first thing is the fact that the wage ear ner could lose his job. In the loss of his job, he loses his pay, and the family loses its support. But, through employment insurance, administered bv the State, the worker can receive a payment for a limited period of time, or until he can find another job. The se cond threat to the family is that of old age. If the worker cannot work because of his age, both the worker and his family may be come dependent upon the com munity. The third threat to the family’s security is the death of the wage earner at any age. The Old-Age and Survivors In surance provision of the ■ Social Security Act was designed to pro tect the familv in old age or death of the breadwinner. The worker or his family under this program receives benefits as a matter of right. The worker contributes to his and his family’s protection, and no elements of need must be proved before benefits are paid, provided the wage earner has worked long enough in covered employment. Unfortunately at the present time all families do not have this protection. Only the families of those workers in business and commerce, generally, have such protection. Where the worker is engaged in farming, do mestic service in private homes; Government service; religious and charitable organizations, or self- employed, he is not covered by the program.

I will also he in Cooleemee on the same date‘s at the Erwin Cotton Mills office at 11 a. m. / THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCESVILLE, N. C. D Maragon Still Favored K SIGNIFICANT D E VELOP- MENT has taken place inside the justice department regarding the amazing John Maragon, dose friend of General Vaughan and once a frequent caller at the White House. Higher-ups in justice have given orders to Morris Fay1 efficient U. S. attorney for the District of Columbia, to give them a full re port on the perjury case against Maragon and to make no move without consulting the justice department. This has not been done in other important cases. General Benny Meyers also faced a perjury charge, but no such order went to Fay from the justice department. He was convicted and jailed- with out anJi delay or consultation. John Maragon not only faces an almost identical perjury charge, but Sen. Clyde Hoey of North Caro lina, chairman of the senate ex penditures subcommittee, official ly sent the case to the justice de partment with a request for prose cution. Furthermore, Hoey went to extra precautions to have a quor um of his subcommittee present when Maragon was questioned so there would be no legal loophole for a wriggling out of a perjury prosecution. Finally, it has been three fnll months since the senate sent its report to the justice depart ment, and still no action. Ordi narily, it tabes about one week to bring a case of this kind before a grand jury. Maragon, of course, has had a special White House pass, has sup plied liquor to Gen. Harry Vaughan, has ridden on special presidential trains, stood on the bridge of a battleship with the President when he reviewed the fleet in New York, and at one time had access to the White House at almost any time of the day or night. So while Gen. Benny Meyers can’t even get pa role, Maragon isn’t even indicted. * • * Reluctant Justice Failure to act in the Maragon case brings up a point regarding the justice department which most people don’t realize. The public generally thinks of the justice de partment as the protective branch of the TI. S. government, which rcaches out to punish dishonesty wherever found and does its best to keep th6 federal government clean. A review of important cases, however, indicates that the justice department is extremely reluctant to go after the big boys in govern ment, and that most of the cleanup cases have been developed either by committees of congress or by the newspapers. Frequently it isn’t until after a crime has been thor oughly aired by the press and on capitol hill that the so-called up holders of the law in the justice de partment move in. And if some friend or high political figure is in volved, such as John Maragon, sometimes they don’t move at all. Here are a few notable cases in point: Alger Hiss—Now on trial for per jury. This case was developed by the house un-American activities committee, which turned up the famed pumpkin papers. Since the justice department finally moved in, however, its lawyers have done an efficient and persistent job. Congressman Andrew May of Kentucky—Now sentenced to jail. Various hints of May’s peculiar activities were published by this column and others for some years, but it took the senate investigating committee, under Sen. Jim Mead of New York, to bring out the facts. After that the justice department acted. Congressman Parnell Thom as—Now sentenced to jail. It took a newspaperman to dig out Thomas’s skulduggery. Aft er the canceled c h e c k s in Thomas’s kickback deals, plus an important witness, were turned over to the justice de partment, it carried through thoroughly a n d efficiently. However, Alex Campbell, dy namic chief of the criminal di vision, who carried the ball, had to buck some opposition near the top. Gen. Benny Meyers—The first public revelation that General Mey ers had been up to no good was published in this column on July 29, 1947, when it was stated that Meyers had speculated in the stock market with as much as four million dollars. Arabian Oil — It was also the Brewster committee which devel oped the amazing manner in which certain admirals and the navy had over-charged the U. S. government for Arabian oil during the war. The justice department, for reasons best known to itself, never prose cuted this scandal, but exposure of the facts resulted in new oil con tracts and a saving to the taxpayers of millions of dollars. Why the justice department has not prose cuted those responsible for the swindle is another Washingtcni ' mystery. -WffKty NfWS ANALYSIS Huge Crop Snrplases May Bring On Widespread Federal Farm Controls; Three Pact Nations Unify Defense (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions aro expressed In these columns, (hey are those of Western Newspaper Union's news analyst* and not necessarily ot this newspaper.) CROP REPORT: Punitive Plenty It was an ironical twist that American fanners, by producing in 1949 the second largest crop in all U.S. histoiy, may have shackled themselves with broad government controls for years to come. The year’s harvest acreage was the largest since 1932 when depres sion-ridden farmers sought to off set declining prices by expanding production. Except for bad weather during the growing season in some sec tions of the nation, the 1949 crop total might easily have set a new record. Even so, the harvest was so large that the U.S. department of agriculture felt called upon to invoke production controls of var ious kinds to reduce the volume next year. These controls prob ably would extend to cotton, pea nuts, major types of tobacco, rice, potatoes and soybeans. The agriculture department said the huge harvest was the result of uniformly large production of most crops, rather than record volumes of a few individual ones. Records were marked up only for rice, dry beans and peas. The figures: Corn, three billion, 378 million bushels; livestock feed-grain, 126 million tons; vegetable oil-seeds; soybeans, flaxseed, peanuts, cot- ton-seed, 15.33 million tons; tobac co, two billion pounds; fruit pro duction, nine million, 800 thousand tons. Yields per acre were above av erage for most crops, although wheat, flaxseed and dry peas were notable exceptions. Nearly 163 million tons of the eight grains were harvested during the year. COMICBOOKS: Get Last Laugh There may not be any laughs in current comic books—as so many psychologists, psychiatrists, educa tors and ministers have charged— But there was certainly more than an abdominal chuckle- for the com ic book entrepreneurs, themselves, in a spectacular respectability re cently accorded their products. For, as amazing as it may seem, the U. S. state department was to incorporate the comic book tech nique in its latest bid for the minds of non-Communist Asiatics. WITH THEIR THEMES based on the lives of American heroes. 260,000 copies of the picture-series books had been scheduled for de livery early in January. The books were to be sent to South Korea, Thailand, French Indo-China and Indonesia. The hope was that through hand-to- hand circulation information about the history and background of the United States would be spread widely in areas under strong Com munist pressure but which, as yet, had not capitulated. THE SERIES was to include 32- page books of the lives of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Walt Whitman, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Carnegie, Jane Addams, Thomas A. Edison, and George Washington Carver. Libraries and other agencies of the state department’s public af fairs division, already on the scene, would distribute the books at public showings of American documentary films and other such occasions. American libraries op erate in all countries where the books are to be distributed. PANCAKE DAY: Idea Spreading A familiar and popular event in some United States communities, unknown in many more, National Pancake day is beginning to catch on in many localities. ancient as far as internation al observance goes, the event has been observed elsewhere in the world for hundreds of years. No artificial “Johnny - come - lately” idea, the day has long been ob served in Great Britain and many other countries in Europe—always on the day before Lent begins.THE NEXT Pancake day falls on February 21, 1950, when here, in the United States, some com munities will mark the day in city- wide celebration, a sort of mid winter fair at which everyone eats pancakes. In many, other commu nities, church groups (frequently Episcopalians) have long observed the day with quiet breakfasts, luncheons an d suppers—all of which feature pancakes. UMBRELLA: For Amphitheatre Most everyone has speculated about if and when it would come, but now, apparently, it has ar rived—a revolutionary rain-defy ing umbrella for an amphitheatre. According to the designers, it can cover the amphitheatre in two and one-half minutes at the fUck of a switch. The device isn't actual ly on the market yet, but will be built next fall to house activities of the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera. Raps Big Steel Everett Kassarow, execu tive secretary of the CIO, tells a congressional committee that big steel’s hiking the price of steel is a "scandalous situa tion” and asks the committee to investigate it. In the recent price raise, the steel industry said recent welfare and pen sion concessions to labor made the increase necessary. PACT DEFENSE: One Broad Pattern Probably pointing the way to ward a general North Atlantic pact policy, the United States, Great Britain and Canada have worked out procedures for prac tically a complete exchange of information concerning military weapons and fighting techniques each country develops. THE OFFICIAL announcement to that effect was a guarded one, but defense department spokes men said the three nations will pool all data on just about every thing in the way of conventional weapons used by their respective fighting forces and together will study such advanced weapons as guided missiles. There was no in dication of the atomic bomb in this "share-the-know-how” deal. The goal, according to the an nouncement, was to make not only standard weapons interchange able; but to draw on the incentive techniques of scientists and the “operational p r o c e du r e s” de veloped by military planners. THE STEP, in any manner of speaking, was a prudent one if the democracies are convinced that among the best avenues of peace is one that leads to the ultimate in preparedness. There is a most plausible school of thought among international diplomats, that if a consolidation of sufficient strength is mustered by the western powers, there need be no fear of World War ni, no matter how- much the Russians might desire one. For whatever else may be said of Russia’s Stalin, he has never been branded as a complete idiot. After Stalin, of course, anything might happen, for ambitious men ofttimes let their ambition cloud their vision to the extent that they can’t see where they are going. Give such men enough power, and the war everyone fears might well be in the making. TOP 10 MEN: Rated Outstanding More than 1,500 newspapermen had been called upon to choose, in their opinion, the 10 outstanding men of the world during 1949. At first blush that would appear to be a staggering assignment, but there is no newsman worthy the name who won’t give you an opin ion on anything at any time. THE TEN “outstanding men oi the year,” as announced in the 1949 Year News Annual were: Dr. Albert Schweitzer, religion; Oean Acheson, U. S. Secretary oi state, statesmanship; Dr. Ralph Bunche, world peace; Dr. Charles Seymour, Yale university presi dent, education; Walter Reuther, president of the CIO-UAW, labor; Jackie Robinson, Brooklyn Dodgers second baseman, sports; Serge Koussevitsky, Boston symphony orchestra, music; Arthur Miller, “Death of- A Salesman,” drama; Stanley Kramer, producer of the movie “Home of The Brave,” movies; Milton Berle1 radio and television. CRITICS of these selections might charge that the selectors let the headlines of the year, rather than the gentlemen’s accomplishments, get in their eyes when they made their choices. New Probe Asked Whatever else might occupy con gressmen, there appeared to b« no lacking of probe subjects. For in- stance, Representative Buchanan (D-, Pa.) announced that a special house lobbying investigating com mittee would begin looking into real estate and medical issues. Buchanan is chairman of the committee which will do the look ing. The committee also will in vestigate “other-side” lobbying. RUSSIA: Going to Sea j Tom Paine’s phrase, “sunshine patriot,” might well apply to any segment of the Russian army, since the Soviets have no warm water port for winter operations; but if the authoritative publication, Jane’s Fighting Ships, was to be- believed, the Russians must be planning to change all that. ACCORDING to the article, Russia is building three 35,000-ton battleships equipped to fire radio- controlled aerial torpedoes. It said the Soviet navy also is speeding construction on a fleet of 1,000 submarines including a type “with a great range and a very high sub merged speed.” How did Jane’s penetrate the iron curtain to a degree necessary to glean that information? The publication itself says merely that a “hitherto reliable source” relayed the report, and added that it passed along "with reserve . . . conflicting information in the in formant’s report” that one of the three battleships is still in the yards, but “two others of the same class are believed to be in com mission.” Jane’s emphasized that it had “no substantiation of this report.” THE ARTICLE noted that the United States and Great Britain have only one battleship in service between them—and that is the U.S.S. Missouri. But, it added, “there are signs that new fleets are in the making.” Continuing, the article declared: “Warships are being designed not as improvements or developments of previous classes, but from first principles for a specific role of countering a potential enemy type. In the next few years we are likely to see . . . the atomic-bomber car rier, the guided-missile control vessel, the task-force command ship, the anti-submarine cruiser, rocket destroyers, fast, low-lying frigates and gas-turbine ships.” Which would indicate that the navy hasn’t been as dormant as the air force might have liked it to appear in the unification rows in congress. HOUSING: For 'Forgotten* According to an impression prev alent in the capital, President Tru man intends to press congress for some action to spur construction of medium-priced housing. And, as must have been in evitable, the “forgotten man” was again brought into the picture. The capital sources mentioned that Mr. Truman’s administration would recommend that this housing be designed to help the so-called “for gotten man” in housing—the mid- dle-income worker of the nation— to own his own home or get better rental accommodations. IF ANYTHING can be done in that respect, the “forgotten man” would surely be most grateful— but the manner in which the hous ing problem has been kicked around in Washington could be blamed if the "forgotten man” adopted an attitude of “I’ll be lieve it when I see it.” The new housing program, ac cording to reports, will be on the “must” list of early consideration by the lawmakers, but that “must” isn’t as formidable as it soujjds, for most Americans will remember that Mr. Truman was unable to get any action on a lot of “must” legislation in the first session of the 81st congress. However, no one could be ruled out for trying, and if any success ful housing venture should result, there- would probably be an air of forgiveness all ’round. THE LEGISLATION which the President is reported as ready to sponsor is said to rely mainly on pri vate industry to do the job. Talks for Hiss A ' ■ ■ Francis B. Sayre, former - U. S. assistant secretary of state, testifisd that AIger Hiss, former state department at tache who is on trial for per jury in connection with stolen secret documents, had a “very good” reputation for integrity and veracity in 1938 when Hiss was Sayre’s “right hand man.” DIPLOMACY: Classes far Japs As part of the policy of speeding readmission ml Japan into the world family ef nations, V. s. otata department officials have disclosed that this nation soon will start training more “important” Japan ese diplomats to aid in that effort. It was disclosed at Ibe same time that plans have been made to bring several hundred Japanese mem bers ot parliament, newsmen, gov ernment officials, and students.

Caution Urged In Use Of Chemicals, Sprays Dust sprays, gasses and other ih secticides will do much to promote the healthy growth of fruits and vegetables is the gist of instruction being passed out now by county agents over the nation, However, these can often have just the opposite effect on people. Even though the container may not bear the skull and crossbones label, caution is necessary since many substances are harmful in some ways to man, despite the fact that they may not be definitely poisonous. The whole story of safety in use of insecticides, it was pointed out, is simply precaution.

TLOIIIft BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET 'Too Little for Brains' Idea Is Hindering Research Medicine —---------------------------------By BILLY ROSE--------------------------------- Today, I’d like to tell you about a talk I had with a doctor who is doing research work at one of the New York cancer clinics. He made me promise not to use his name because he was afraid he might be blacklisted by the foundation which pays his salary. I began by asking him to sketch in his pre-research career. “The usual 10-year grind," he said. ‘‘Four years of college, four more at medical school, a year as intern, and a year in residency training.” ‘‘What made you go into research?” Billy Bose “Like a lot of young doctors,” he said, “I couldn’t get used to sitting by while a patient died simply because I didn’t know any thing else I could do for him. Every time I looked up into the eyes of rela tives gathered around the bed of a man in the last stages of cancer, I told myself that my job wasn’t to go on using the hit-or-miss techniques but to get the real cure.”“How did you go about getting started?” “I made the usual applications,” said the M.D., ‘‘but I soon found the hospitals and universities had no funds to hire research men, and that I couldn’t get a job unless a foundation paid my salary. To complicate things, most foundations won’t give you a fellowship unless you first have a job. In addition, it’s almost impossible to get a grant until you’ve published a cer tain number of scientific papers and, of course, you can’t publish such papers until you’ve worked in a laboratory and had a chance to do research worth writing about. “It finally boiled down to this— I could work for nothing in a can cer laboratory, or I could take a job paying $120 a week doing research for a cosmetic outfit. Well, I had just gotten married and was ready to settle for the money, but my wife wouldn’t hear of it—she went out and got an office job and made me stick to my test tubes.” • * • "HOW LONG did you work for free?” “About a year,” said the doctor, “and then the head of the medical center—a very decent guy—squeezed me onto the payroll at $28.87 a week.” “You could have earned more washing dishes.” "We managed to get by,” said the medico, "but the following year my wife had a baby and had to quit her job. After that, it teas pretty rugged. As, for instance, we couldtit afford to buy a crib, and th e youngster had to sleep in a donated baby carriage. “Somehow, though, *yre pulled our way through, and by the end'of the following year I had gotten a couple of research pieces published. With these to back me up, I applied for a fellowship paying $3,000 a year.” “Minus withholding tax, I presume.” “It may not sound like much, but I felt like John D., Jr. when the grant came through,” said the doctor. “Last year, I went through the application rigmarole again— 275 typed pages—and this time I got the full $3,600. * • * "WHAT DO YOU DO to earn all “ IF YOU ARE QUIET" A' N old man sat one evening by his door, His face was tranquil, in his eyes was peace, His hands were dill, his long life work was done, He had a look about him of release. And I, who needed much to learn the things [ That he had learned, sat down beside him there On the low doorstep in the scented dusk, He smiled his gentle smile, he touched my hair, He said: "My child,I, too, was reftless once, I, too, was hurt by life, and blind and dumb 11 groped my way; then a wise one said these words. If you are quiet, so will help come' Twas an old folk saying from an old loved land. I listened to its teaching, li§tened long, And learned its secret. He who truSts in God, And who goes quietly, he will grow Strong.” GRACE NOU CROWELL that money?” I said. ‘Tm in charge of three cancer projects and help on half a dozen others. On the side, I run a throat clinic, work in the wards and give seminars.” “Any chance of a raise?” ‘T m afraid not,” said the doctor, “and, as far as fellowships are con cerned, I’m getting near the end of the line. I’m 29 now, and the founda tions don’t like to make grants to The Fiction BASIL BECOMES A MAN By Richard H. Wilkinson Corner BASIL Winthrop’s father had al ways made his decisions; had conducted the boy’s affairs, or ganized his life, superintended his of manhood wanning his blood. Instead of atiending the dinner party, he held a clandestine meet ing with the redhead. They had a the red-headed girl and propose marriage. That, he decided, was the on% manly thing to do, and Basil had suddenly become a man. men over 30.” “There’s always the job in the industrial lab,” I said. "It may come to that," said the M. D., ''but I hope not. No mat ter what it pays, I want to keep plugging away on cancer. It seems a lot more important than de veloping a neu> shade of face powder . . .” The day after our talk, I hap pened to pass the medical skyscraper in which the young doctor; works, and I noticed that an addi tional wing was under construction. Dozens of steel workers, bricklay ers and carpenters—all averaging around a hundred a week—were getting in each other’s way. Over the half-finished entrance, was a space which looked as if it might eventually be filled with a block of marble on which a fitting inscription would be carved. “I know what it ought to be,” I said to myself. “Too much for bricks, too little for brains.' ” E^SCREEN KM( BX INEZ GERHARD ORTON DOWNEY says “I’ve had more mileage out of my {voice than any other singer in the business.” He probably has; it vas in 1919 that Paul Whiteman discovered him, singing in a small novie theater and looking “like an rocked choir boy.” Bing Cros by says the only difference now is MORTON DOWNBY at “he looks like the oldest choir Iy in the world.” He has sung Ierywhere — church socials, night libs, Hollywood, on the air, radio Id now on television, too.

Fellowship Lesson for January 15, 1950 •PHE FIRST CHRISTIANS didn’t have everything we have, but on the other hand they had one thing seldom to be seen nowadays. They did not have the New Testa ment, only the Old; they were not surrounded by an even partly Chris- t i a n civilization; they had no cen turies of Christian tradition; they had no world-wide Christianity, only a small knot of people in one Small and out-of- the-way city, Jerus alem. On Uie other hand, for all they Dr. Foreman lacked, they had one great thing: Fellowship. We have it too, but too often in a week and watery fash ion as compared with what they enjoyed.* • * Family Living THE VERY FIRST Christians lived literally like a big family. This is all the more extraordinary when you think of the variety of their backgrounds. (Look up the list of places mentioned in Act3 2:9,10 on a map of Asia, Africa and Europe.) A good family is a unit. If little Willie comes down with appendicitis, his parents don’t get out the family ac count book and figure out how much Willie has been worth to the family, in dollars and cents, in bis eight years of life. Suppose they calculated that his services, such as they are—carry ing in the wood, feeding the chick ens, or what not—had been worth about $23.75 since the last time he was sick, they wouldn’t Send11Iittle Willie to the hospital with the note to the doctor: “'Please give our Willie $23.75 worth of operation. That’s all he has put into the family budget and that’s all we’re going to let him take out!” Not by any means. Little Willie is taken to the hospital and what ever operation he needs, that is the one his parents want him to have, even if it costs 20 times what Willie has been worth in cash. The family give Willie what he needs, and they also expect him to help out in all the ways he can.* • • Church Living ONE TROUBLE with our churches today is that so many of them have actually lost this fam ily-feeling. The early Christians, we are told, “Were of one heart and soul.” Could you say of your church that all its members are of one heart and soul? The early Christians, feeling thus close to one another, “had all things in common.” What do the members of your church have in common? They meet in one place once a week. But what else? Do they even speak to one another? If one member of the congregation falls sick, do the others find out about it quickly, and when they find out, what do they do about it? If trouble comes to a member, do the other members rally around him? Does the church say to its members, as the Salvation Army does of hard-pressed men, “You may be down bnt you’re never out?” Some churches bave a pastor’s or deacon’s fund, to be used.-in cases of need. Contributors to the fund are as anonymous as are those who are helped by it. The idea is for those who are blessed with large income, or those who may have special windfalls, bonuses, extra dividends, big crops, and so on, to chip in for the aid of all who may run into trouble. * • * Not All Troubles Are Financial Na t u r a l l y , not ail troubles are financial. Some of the most serious troubles have little or noth ing to do with money. There are many other kinds of need3. For example, in any church there will be lonely people, and you can’t cure loneliness with a check, no matter how big. The minister is the key man, he can locate tbe needs, but he can’t supply them all. Lonely people, those who have been through deep sorrow, men try ing to find the right jobs, young folks in danger of serious temptation — a church which is like a family will not let these people fight their battles alone. What we all need is the feeling that we belong. The church can make all the difference between despair and happiness simply by making every single person in it feel that no matter what happens to him, he still belongs; he is more than among friends, he is among brothers. 1COLD BEWNSi GOT YWR ClIlD ? v Don’t let "Cold Demons’’ make her chest feel sore, con* gested— rub on Mentholatum.

Quick Relief with M E NTHOLATUM Hadacol Helps No* Carolina Man Work Long Hours There is plenty of hard work and long hours in the retail grocery business, and this is especially true for Paul Earnhardt, 816 South Church St., in Salisbury, N. C. Mr. Earnhardt works long hours at the Earnhardt Super Market in Salis bury, one of the largest and most modern grocery stores in that thriv ing section of North Carolina. The grind began to tell on Ur. Earnhardt about three months ago and he wondered for a time whether he would be able to carry on at the same rigid pace. But that was before he heard the blessed news about HADACOL. Mr. Earnhardt “I have been taking HADACOL for three months,” said Mr. Earnhardt. “I was- weak, run down, nervous, had difficulty sleeping at night, nervous indigestion, gastric disturbances, headaches, suffered with stomach bloating and gas pains around my heart. After the third bottle, I started gaining weight, was relieved of stomach bloating, had no gastric disturbances, headaches or gas pains. I never felt better and work long hours. I recommend HADACOL.” Mr. Earnhardt, like so many thousands of other suffering people, had tried many preparations without beneficial results before he heard the wonderful news about HADACOL. Mr. Earnhardt puts in long, hard hours at the Earnhardt Grocery store now, but is again his usual cheerful self, and when his friends comment on his improvement he advises them to give HADACOL a trial.Mr. Earnhardt was suffering from a lack of B Vitamins and the Miner als which HADACOL contains. HADACQL comes to you in liquid form, easily assimilated in the blood stream so that it can go to work right away. A lack of only a small amount of B Vitamins and certain Minerals will cause digestive disturbances... Yourfood will not agree with you... You will have an upset stomach... You will suffer from heartburn, gas pains and your food will sour on your stomach and you will not be able to eat the things you like for fear of being in misery afterwards. Many people also suffer from con stipation. And while these symptoms may be the results of other causes, they are surely and certainly th« signs of lack of B Vitamins and Minerals which HADACOL contains. And if you suffer from such a deficiency disorder, there is no Imown cure except the administration of the vitamins and minerals which your system lacks. It is easy to understand, therefore, why countless thousands have been benefited by this amazing tonic, HADACOL.So it matters not how old you at« 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 Buffering. 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 because HADACOL supplied the vitamins and minerals which their system* needed. Be fair to yourself. Temporary relief is not enough for yon. Give HADACOL a trial! Don’t be misled! accept no substi tute! Insist on the genuine HADACOL! Sold at all leading drug stores. Ttial size only $1.25, but save money; buy the large family and hospital size, only $3.50. If your druggist does not handle HADACOtk order direct from The LeBlanc Corporation, Lafayettee, La., and when the postman brings your package just pay the amount plus the c. o. d. and postage. If you remit with tile order we -will pay the postage. Then, if you don’t feel perfectly satisfied after using HADACOL as directed, just return the empty car ton and you: money will be cheer fully refunded. Nothing could be fairer.—Adv.

C JANUARY 11 1950 By Dorothy Boys Kiliaa IT WAS Christmas Eve but the group of people sitting on the floor in the Reeds’ living-room cer tainly weren’t in a ,'estive mood. “Doggonitt,” Dad exclaimed as he stared gloomily at the shiny tracks and the motionless cars of a new electric train. “What’s wrong with this thing anyway?” “We’ve put it together exactly ac cording to directions, I’m sure we have,” fifteen-year-old Rick in sisted. “Well, something's got to be done,” said Mom, looking in from the kitchen where she was stuffing the turkey. “Little Jackie’s been praying for that train for months, and how’ll he fee! tomorrow morn ing if the thing won't run?’* “Maybe Ralph can help. He's coming by for me in a few minutes, you know,” said Wilma, the pretty big sister of the family. "Oh, him!” Rick was scornful. “That guy from the big city with He picked up Ve shiny black engine carefully a n d turned it over and over. He put it np to eye Ic-el ar.d peered into its workings. his socks and ties and handker chiefs that match! What does-he know about motors?” "Rick!” Mom reproved. “Oh, I know you all think of him as an outsider,” Wilma said. “If you only really knew him better! Mom, I do wish you’d let me ask him to breakfast tomorrow." “I’m sorry dear, but I just don’t think he’d fit in.” The doorbell rang. Wilma an swered it and she and Ralph ex changed happy hellos. Rick immediately threw out the challenge to the tall, blond, well- dressed young man. “We can’t make this train go. Can you tell what's wrong with it?” “Maybe,” Ralph said quietly. “I used to have a train something like this,” “Look out, that cotton batting stuff will stick to your trousers,” Dad warned. "That’s snow, and the snow around here is clean.” Dad looked slightly startled. WiIma smiled. She remembered how impressed Ralph had been by the whiteness of the drifts even on Main street last night. “The flakes are practically sooty before they even reach the ground in Chicago,” he had said. "Tracks are O.K.” Ralph straightened up. Then he picked up the shiny black engine care fully and turned it over and over. He put it up to eye level and peered into its workings. “The professional touch!” Rick muttered. “There may be oil in the commutator,” Ralph said. “That somer times happens with a new engine I’ll see if I can gei it out." “I’ll get you a rag, Ralph, just a minute.” Wilma got up and started for the kitchen. “Never mind, this’ll do,” Ralph answered, pulling his perfectly folded wine-colored handkerchief out of his jacket pocket. He worked quietly for a moment, gently poking the corner ^of the handkerchief into the inside" of the engine. Then he set the engine care fully down on the track and said, “Turn on the juice, will you Rick?” Rick meekly moved forward the black lever at the transformer. There was a whirring sound, the wheels began to move, and the lit tle puffer-billy whizzed and clacked around the curve. “Praises be!” Dad heavea a loud ■igh of relief. Ralph quietly got up from the floor and turned to Wilma. “Maybe We’d better go now, if we want to catch the gang.” “All right, Ralph,” Wilma said. Her eyes turned pleadingly to Mrs. Reed, “Mom—” “Oh, yes, Wilma,” Mom inter rupted. Turning to Ralph she said heartily, "In all the excitement we almost-forgot to ask you to be sure to come over for late breakfast . with us tomorrow. It’s just a simple I family affair, but we surely would | like to have you with us.” “You bet.” Dad’s eyes twinkled, j "Something might go wrong again 1 •nd we’d feel safer with you around < ta fix it.” FLAME By John Scott Douglas FRED DOBSON plugged in the string of lights and then stood back to admire the blue and red and green candle globes on the Christmas tree. Ellen left the table she was setting to study the effect. “Nice little tree, Fred. Seems a shame, though, not to be sharing Js with someone.

The fence was where it be- ' longed. Fred wanted to apologize, but every time he stepped outside, Tom walked into the house. Within a matter of seconds, Fred was too busy to think of the quarrel. The little Christmas tree was on fire and carckling fiercely. He flung open the door and screamed, “Fire! help! help!” And then, snatching up the hall runner he’d been planning to replace, he knocked over the tree and began beating out the Lames. Behind him Tom called, “Stay with it, pal—I’ll get something.” He'was back in a moment with a rake. Lifting the smoldering tree with the tines, he hurled it out onto the snowy lawn. Martha Robbins had appeared by then. Seeing Ellen staring dazedly at the cloud of smoke and the blackened wall where the tree had stood, she opened the windows and then slipped her arm around Ellen’s shoulders. "Poor dear! And just when you were sitting down to your Christmas dinner. Alter the smoke has thinned out, this room will be freezing. You and Fred are having dinner with us.” Ellen looked happy but flustered. “But this was our year—” “Nonsense!” Tom said heartily. “We’ll eat with you next year.” “That will be swell,” Fred said, beaming. When they slatted Martha Rob bins’ bountiful umner, there was at first a litt.e stillness. But Tom was soon . joking about Fred’s “high forehead,” ano Fred was ask.ng Tom if he'd considered sell ing his hair to a wire-brush factory. As they said hearty farewells later, Tom remarked, "Can’t say I’m sorry about that fire. We’ve sure missed you folks.” “And it was ail my fault,” Fred said. “I was wrong about—” “Aw, forget it,” Tom interrupted. “How about some golf Saturday?” When they reached home, Fred looked at the blackened wall specu- latively. “No real damage done, Ellen. A coat of paint will fix it up.” “How do you suppose the tree ever caught fire?” Ellen asked. Fred grinned sheepishly- “A match and a bunch of tissue paper ay have helped.” THE VILLAGE HAS A HEART Dorothy Boya Kilian THE CLOCK struck nine as NoIa hung the last bauble on the fragrant green Christmas tree. Without even stepping back to ad mire the finished effect she went to the front window and peered out. A cold white moon illumined a cold white earth. She shivered. How lonely she had been in this tiny, quiet village! When she had written Jim two months before that she was being evicted from their apartment In Chicago he had answered, “I’m hoping against hope to be home from occupation duty in time for Christmas, and I can’t think of any place more perfect than Pineville to spend the holidays and my termi nal leave. Remember my telling you what happy summers I spent there as a child, and how I’d al ways wanted to see it in winter? Do investigate this, as a Christmas present for me, Nola darling.” So she had come here and found a house. But somehow she felt that the villagers had ignored her as an outsider. And now it was Christmas Eve. “He’s not going to make it and that’s that,” Nola thought miser ably. She knew that he had landed at San Francisco three days before and had been trying desperately to get a seat on a train or plane. “It’s me, Doc Ryan. We’re on your party line you know, and heard the good news. My wife thought I’d better take you over." The telephone rang. “There’s a telegram just come for you, Mrs West, down here at the drug store. Very important." “Yes?” Nola breathed. “Chicago, 8 P. M. Am catching train. Get off Shoreham five miles east of Pineville 10 P.M. Iove Jim.” Nola leaned heavily against the wall and stared at the phone. “Mrs. West, are you there?” Mr. Trotter, the druggist, sounded anxious. "Listen, you go out in the garage and get your car motor io warming up. My wife’ll be up there in five minutes to stay with your little boy. Hurry now.” In joyful haste Nola peeked in at Jimmy—“Santa Claus is bringing you your Daddy, honey’—pow dered her nose and put on her Iur coat and boots. The garage door stuck in its icy groove although she bent her whole weight against it. Suddenly, out of the darkness, a voice r.alleci. “It’s me, Doc Ryan. We’re on your party line you know, and heard the good news. I’m so used to driving out in all kinds of weather, my wife thought I’d better take you m er.” “Dr. Ryan, I didn’t realize ‘til just now how I dreaded that trip alone.” A train whistle shrilled through the cold thin air as they drove up to the little depot. “We made it!” Nola cried ex- ultingly.. “Come on.” She held open the door. But Doc muttered, “I’ll stay here and keep my feet warm.” Now the huge black engine roared past, slowed down and slid to a stop. A coach vestibule door opened, and before the conductor could step down, a kbaki-clad fig ure leaped on to the platform. “Oh, darling, darling, darling,” Nola’s heart throbbed as she felt once more the thrilling warmth of Jim’s arms around her. “Nola!” Jim said everything in that word. A few moments later as they walked to the car a voice boomed from within, “Glad you made it.” “Whoever you are—thanks,” Jim answered. “It's people like you who made me want Nola to come to Pineville to wait for me.” “Get in and close the door. You’re freezing me out.” Doc grinned as he raced the motor. "Christmas Eve,” Jim said softly as they squeezed in with Doc. “You beside me, our baby just a few miles away, and a Christmas cu d place like Pineville to welcome us. Don’t you love it there, darling?” Nola glanced at Doc, thought of Mrs. Trotter and the others. “Yes, Jim, I do," she whispered. “I surely do.” Trade Vfith The Merchants Vfho Advertise In The Davie Record Boger & Howard PURE SERVICE !

R4 An article has been sent me with the above title, written by. A, R. Robinson, which I wish to pass on to my readers, there is so much truth in it which we should con sider, We believe many people are engaged in the tobacco busi ness, either cultivating it, or manu facturing it, or using it, who have guilty,- lashing consciences. Here is the prayer as written by Mr. Robinson: O Lord, as I now begin to plant and cultivate this crop of tobacco, I pray Thee to bless and prosper it. Please, Lord, keep my children from the evils of.tobacco, tor Thou knowest I do not want them to be come slaves to it. But, O Lord, Thou knowest that I must have some money, and tbis is the most profitable crop I can raise. AU my oeigbbors are raising it, and manv of our preachers have quit preacbiag against it, so it must be all right; but. Lord, please keep me and my family from this aw ful habit. God. bless the soldiers who are being deceived into this habit by the encouragement of people alt over the land who are urged to give their change to provide “smokes” fortbebovs “over there.” Thou knowesr, Lord, that someone is going to raise it for them, and I pray thee to bless this crop so I can give more to Thy cause help support the preachers who are try. ing to get the soldiers to come into Tbv kingdom. O Lord, bless mv dangbtar who has begun to take up the bnbii with her sehootmafes. Mav she see the bondage into which it will bring her; but please, Lord, help my other children as they worm and stem the crop that they may be successful in helping to make it a good stand, or I shall never be able to put my girl through school. Lord, have merch on the girls and women of the USO and the WACS.. and every other group ol women who should be setting a better example than influencing boys to take up this terrible babii, but please, Lord, help me to raise a bumper crop so I can pay my debts and keep up with the Jones es, so my children will not have to leave home and be exposed to the evils of city life. God, bless the dear preachers who have been so kind as to leave off preaching against the tobacco traffic, and who now confine their coudamnation to its use, I thank Thee, Lord, that some of thei. have even In some manner rented their land for the raising of tobac co, though they - still preach a gainst its use Again I pray Thee, Lord, Thon wouldst preserve me from ever a- gain getting into the clutches of the habit which bound Ibe so long. And please. Lord, do keep my family from it,’ even if they do work in the field and factory where it is made. O Lord, please remove th e doubts that come when I have dreams such as I had night before last, when I 'couid bear dear old Brother Briiton saving, “ Brethieu, it you are going to compromisr, don’t do it on anything as dirty as tobacco.” How well I remember when be said that in his life! O Lord, please help me soon to make enough to retire and provide for my children; then I shall be glad to get out from this burden and get with the old timers and he sure I am on the right side. But till then, O Lord, please bless me in my work of raising It, bless the UNCHANGED Entering the house just as her husband put down the telephone, the wife said: “Whom were you talking to, dear?” "Your mother called,” he re plied. “And how is she?” Wearily he answered, “About the same — unfair to meddling.” NEVER FAILS “Say, Bill, I’ve got a wonder ful scheme for making money fast!” “Going to let me in on it?” “Absolutely. All you’ve got to do, is to glue it to the floor.” Taking No Chances Rural Guide: “Why didn’t you shoot at the flock of birds as they flew by?” Urban Hunter: “You see, this is a brand new gun and I was afraid I would strain it by shooting at such a distant target before it is broken in.” Only Choice A much-married man was trying to chisel some free advice from a lawyer friend. “Isn’t there some way in which a man can avoid pay ing alimony?” he inquired. “Yes," replied the lawyer. “Two. He can stay single or stay mar ried.” MAKING THE WEIGHT “Father is pleased that you are a poet,” said she to her new heart in terest. “I’m glad,” retorted the boy friend. “Is he a lover of poetry?” “No,” confessed the sweet young thing, “but my last boy friend he tried to throw out was a wrestler.” Greater Vision Consciousness Educators and psychologists are finding that vision is a far more important factor in a child’s whole development than has been real ized. About 80 per cent of a child’s school work depends on vision. The child who cannot see properly has trouble reading and may fail be hind his class. Then he may be come a behavior problem. Every child wants to excel in something. U he cannot compete in school work he may turn to anti-social activities. He may lie, or cheat, or steal to draw attention to himself. Juvenile courts in Toledo, Ohio, and Denver, Colo., to mention but two have found that visual prob lems are abnormally high among juvenile delinquents. Seeing well and comfortably is important to normal living, and the child who has difficulty is likely to show it in his personality development. others who work in the factory where it is processed, and bring tis ail to heaven. Amen. This praver may sound rathe* odd and funny, yet it voices the inner feelings of multitudes of to bacco farmers and manufacturers, and those who work at snch a job. Never have we seen such vast mul titudes of people engaged in the to bacco business as today, neither have we ever seen so manv mil lions enslaved by the use of it as todav. As a consequence we rea lize that great and unspeakable barm is being done to the bodies, minds, sotils and Itvesof multitudes of people Nicotine in tobacco is one of the mitt deadly poisons .on eaith, which brings on many dis. eases that help take many people out of the world. rBaby Sayt Lot In Ona Went Child Speech Study Shawa Your baby Is making more sense than you know, mother and dad, when he speaks to you one word sentences. A Northwestern univer sity professor says that a small child between the age of eight months and two years expresses a complete thought or feeling with just one word. In the infant's mind, the word covers the subject, and it is only the more wordy adult who has trouble understanding. That and many other findings on the language habits of young babies ere revealed by Werner F. Leopold, professor of German and linguis tics, in the third and fourth vol umes of an intensive study of the speech development of his own child. Prof. Leopold made notes on the development of his daughter, Hildegard, from the time she made her first sound until she was 15 years old. The study is especially interesting for linguists because Hildegard speaks both English and German. • In his latest volumes, • Prof. Leo pold points out that words selected by the infant aren’t really nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs, for he selects any part of speech that serves the purpose of communica tion. The baby's attention is on the word that he thinks most signifi cant in a sentence, the one most stressed. This word, with the help of the particular situation where it is used, is good enough for the baby to satisfy his needs of com munication, at least for the first several months of speech. The' child does use one word, however, for many different mean ings. It all depends on his tone of voice, says Prof. Leopold. A simple word like “there” can mean joy or interest, or it can be a re quest, a question, or a statement of fact by the infant. Prof. Leopold explains how one word can repre sent a wish in the form of a ques tion. With a certain intonation, a baby may mererly say, “Apple?” and mean, “May I have an apple?” Save Larfe Hof Litters, Farm Experimeht Shows The profit-making way to feed hogs is to save large litters of pigs and to keep them healthy until they’re sold. You may profit as much as $780 a year by doing a good job on both practices. This advice is based on a study of 200 hog farms in north-central Illinois for the 10 years 1936-45. The 60 farms weaning the larg est litters raised 36 more pigs each year than the 60 farms with the smallest Utters. And the large- Utter farms earned $12 more per $100 worth of feed fed. The 200 farms averaged $3,000 worth of feed a year, so that means $360 more income each year on the Iarge-Iitter farms. The 60 farms with the lowest death losses raised an average of 1,150 more pounds of port each year. These low-death-loss farms earned $14 more per $100 worth of feed fed, or $420 a year on a farm feeding $3,000 worth of feed a year. It is estimated that every pig lost before weaning costs you about $10 in feed. And your loss for every 100 pounds of pigs that die after wean ing is around $36.50. The combined extra earnings from weaning large litters and keeping death losses low after weaning amount to a healthy $780 every qrear. Clip Cows for Clean Milk, And Cut Down Milking Time CUpping dairy cattle regularly is an economical and effective step in producing clean milk of high qual ity, according to Dr. R. C. Klussen- dorf, assistant executive secretary of the American Veterinary Medical association. The AVMA official said that a systematic clipping program helps to lower the bacteria count and re duces the amount of sediment in /iilk -both of which are important in qualifying for the premium on special grades of milk, or In guard ing against rejection of milk on the receiving platform. CUpping also makes it easier to keep cows clean, lessens the time required to prepare them for milk ing, increases the keeping quality of milk, and aids in controUing Uce and ticks, he pointed out. Other factors in producing milk of high quaUty are healthy cows, sterUe utensils and prompt coolingj Dr. Klussendorf commented. “CUpping the udders, flanks, and belUes of dairy cows once a month takes only a few minutes with an electric cUpper, and the improved quality of clean milk from healthy cows insures a uniform market at profitable prices” he concluded. Move Over A VACATIONIST out on a hike, passed an insane asylum and struck up a conversation with an in mate who was “painting” the fence with a brush and a bucket of straw. The inmate explained that he really wasn’t crazy. Just passing the time there.' In an effort to augment the con versation the inmate pointed up the hUl and said, “See that tree up there? There’s a lot of gold buried under it and when I get time I’m going to dig it up.” The foUowing day the vacationist came up to the inmate who was StiU “painting” the fence with his buck et of straw, and asked casually, “Say, oldtimer, which trefcdid you say had all that gold buried under it?”The inmate looked down at the vacationist’s calloused hands and remarked, “Better get another pail of straw and join me.” THE PLACE WAS FAMILIAR , Trgr- •*& 3MB A rather pompous county official, inspecting the local insane asylum, suddenly remembered that he had to make an important telephone call. He experienced all sorts of de lay and difficulty in getting his call through, and snapped at the ob viously unconcerned telephone op erator, "Look here, girl, do you know who I am?” "No, sir,” she answered calmly, “but I know where you are.” Carried Responsibility The personnel manager was in terviewing a young lady for a book keeping position. “You understand, of course, young lady,” the man ager affirmed, “that we are looking for a responsible person to fill this position.” "Oh, Pm responsible," the young woman replied eagerly. “On my last job, every time there was something they called a discrep ancy, they always said I was re sponsible.” Wasted Effort Henry Peck: “Just my luck.” Friend: “What is the matter now?” Peck: “I promised my wife I’dbe home by 10 o’clock last night.” Friend: “Couldn’t you make it?” Peck: “Yes; I did even better. I got in just at 9 :45, but she was sound asleep, and I failed to get any credit, I might just as well have stayed out with you boys.” Never Scot Free The merry old knight of the road stood at the kitchen door with his battered hat in his hand. “Come in,’’ said the kind-hearted lady, "and I’ll give you some food.” In a few minutes the tramp was up to his elbows in a hefty meal As he ate, the old lady remarked: “I suppose your life has been full of trials.” “Yessum,” he sighed. “And the worst of it is that I was always convicted.” Old Dogs Need Calcium A time-worn belief that milk and other calcium-rich foods are “main ly for growing youngsters” has been disproved in dogs as well as in human beings. Nutrition authori ties have pointed out that people past 60 need an abundant supply of calcium—almost as much as grow ing children require—and now vet erinarians are passing along the word that calcium intake of aging dogs also should be watched close ly. The advice is based on labora tory studies showing that as dogs get older, they tend to lose calcium from their bodies unless they get a generous amount of it in the daily diet. Here’s A New One! If your car is mussed up by a moose or catapults into a cata mount, you have a chance to col lect damages, according to a new law in the state of Maine. AAA of ficials who publicized the legisla tion assert that Maine is the first state to take action in compensat ing motorists for injuries to their cars by protected wild animals or birds. Motorists for a long time have been able to secure damages from collisions with domestic ani mals- wandering aimlessly on the highways. Now one state at least puts wild animals in this category.

GHMD 'eaksbnL TagfeORilW ‘Airtight’ Case iced IT IS NOT OFTEN that treasury agents turn up a tax fraud case against a big corporation. This is partly because most big corpora tions have their books audited by reputable firms, but also because it is almost impossible for the T-men to scrutinize carefully the compli cated books of the big corpora tions.The internal revenue bureau is so understaffed—thanks largely to the recent GOP SOtii congress— that it is impossible for its agents to take enough time to go through all corporate books. Recently, however, treasury agents stumbled into what they considered an airtight tax fraud case against the Mid-Continent Pe troleum corporation in Tulsa, Okla The case was considered so airtight that there was not the slightest doubt, they thought, about criminal prosecution. However, the wire-pullers got busy and the criminal aspects of the Mid-Continent case are now on ice. The oil company will not have to pay a tax bill of six million dol lars plus 50 per cent penalty, as recommended by the T-men. In stead, honest taxpayers will have to make up the difference. The reason for the treasury’s case against Mid-Continent was considered so airtight was that a former accountant for the company had furnished the evidence for the government. Employee Got Data While working for the company, he had caught it making capital expenditures for plant expansion during the war years and then charging them up as “repairs.” Though the lower offices of Mid- Continent showed the real nature of the improvements, these im provements were changed to read “repairs,” when the books went up to the top office. Repairs, of course, are tax. deductible, while improvements, are a capital invest ment and not deductible. Mid - Continent officials gave careful instructions that the re ceipts and orders for the improve ments be destroyed, but one of its bookkeepers just as carefully re tained them and turned them over to the treasury. As a result the case was considered ironclad. The agent who first handled this case was Frank W. Lohn, chief of intelligence for the Kansas City district. He recommended crimi nal prosecution and sent the case on to Mike Seltzer, chief of the penal division of the Kansas City office. But while the case was still pending in Kansas City, Daniel Bolich, deputy commissioner of internal revenue in Washing ton, requested a conference at Oklahoma City. This was held, and Bolich, for reasons best known to himself, came all the way to Oklahoma from Wash ington to participate in the con ference. Lohn and Seltzer, who also participated, informed him that the Mid-Continent case was fraud and should be pros ecuted. Despite this, Commissioner Bolich ordered the investigation stopped and had the case trans ferred to Washington. When the case reached Washing ton, a conference was held in Bolich’s office, at which general counsel Charles Oliphant was not represented. This is highly unusual. For, ordinarily, a criminal case must go to the chief counsel's of fice for disposal. It does not go to the office of a deputy commission, er. Counsel By-Passed However, Bolich ordered it to his office and although the general counsel was not represented, the defaulting oil company was repre sented by Benjamin Saunders of the law firm of Charley Hamel. Hamel, former head of the board of tax appeals, and formerly in the internai revenue bureau, is a Re publican who sometimes has been retained by leading Democrats suffering from tax troubles. It was Hamel who expertly handled the income-tax cases of Boss Frank Hague of Jersey City and Mayor Ed Kelly of Chicago, both during the Hoover administration. At this conference, commissioner Bolich finally decided to let Mid- Continent off for three million—in stead of six million recommended by the T-men. He also decided against any appreciable fraud pen alty. Only after this was decided did Bolich send the case to general counsel Oliphant with instructions to close the penal side of the case —in other words, drop criminal prosecution. Deputy Commissioner Bolich was former head of internal revenue intelligence in New York, at which time he was close to many Tam many leaders. He was sent to his present key spot in Washington by Joe Nunan, another Tammany man, who once served as commis sioner of internal revenue. -WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS- Change Seen for Health Measure; Frenzied Reds Acclaim Stalin at 70; Hungary Off-Limits for Americans UrtTED STATES POSTAGE (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed In these eolurons, they are those o: Western Newspaper UnlontS news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper. HEALTH BILL: Labor Honored Changes Planned There was little likelihood that it would amount to anything in the long run—since the bill seems fore doomed to failure—but Oscar Ewing, federal security adminis trator, let it be known he will rec ommend some changes in the ad ministration's medical - insurance bill now before congress. EWING’S conviction that the measure as drawn could stand some revision came after he ob tained a personal insight into the socialized health program as prac ticed in England and other Euro pean countries. Ewing said his recommenda tions were not completely formu lated, but indicated there would be vsp provision in the bill to re duce the opportunity for collusion between patients and doctors to augment medical fees. The approach under considera tion by the U.S. survey group is to require the patient to pay a part Df the cost of the medical service —not to a doctor, but to an insur ance fund. AS THE U.S. BILL is now drafted, doctors would be compen sated in any or all of three ways —a per capita payment irrespec tive of service, a straight salary, or a fee basis. However, it might very well be much ado about nothing, as it seemed apparent neither the peo ple of the U.S., the medical profes sion, or a sufficient number of con gressmen are in the mood for in stallation of socialized medicine In the United States. HUNGARY: Off-Limits The United States, irked and with patience worn thin, placed Communist-controlled Hungary off limits for Americans travelingabroad. The action was taken because the Himgarian government has paid no attention to U.S. demands that Robert A. Vogeler, an official Df the International Telephone & Telegraph corporation had not Seen released after his arrest on November 18. At that time, several Dther Americans were taken into custody by the Hungarians. The American note placing the travel-ban on Americans to Hun gary again demanded Vogeler’s release and reserved the right to claim damages for any injuries he may have suffered. Although the U.S. protest was di rected only to the Vogeler case, a state department spokesman said that it also applied to the ar rest of Israel Jacobsen, head of the American joint distribution committee's Hungarian office. It was a strong note and indi cated the temper of the U. S. state department, but its effect could be determined only in the release Dr further detention of Vogeler and his imprisoned fellow-Americans. CUPID: Busy Fellow Cupid was a very busy fellow indeed as the holiday season came and went. And most of his activity was centered in the upper brackets of U.S. celebrities. Hardly had he sat down to rest after bringing Vice-President Al- ben W. Barkley and Mrs. Hadley together at the altar, when he was up and off again, this time to bring about the union of New York Mayor O’Dwyer and fashion stylist Eliza beth Sloan Simpson. This romance culminated with a wedding in Florida. BUT the little fellow with the wings and the bow and arrows wasn’t having any rest. With the ink barely dry on the press an nouncements of Mayor O’Dwyer’s wedding, headlines carrying a real ly romantic wallop were scream ing again. And this time, Cupid had hit where it hurt. Thousands'of movie- struck females across the nation, with a goodly number of them be ing Hollywood’s own fair and famous, were shocked, then grieved as they learned that long time movie idol Clark Gable had wed. HANDSOME, he-man Gable had taken to wife the widow of the late Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. She was the former Lady Ashley. Gable gave his age as 48, his bride said she was 39. The marriage was the fourth for each. This is a photograph of the new three-cent U.S. postage stamp which will be issued to commemorate the IOOth anni versary of the birth of Samuel Gompers, great American la bor leader. It will be printed in purple and will go on sale In Washington on January 27. STALIN: Big Birthday The Soviet-dominated world went into a frenzy as each nation and satellite strove to outdo the others in paying tribute to Russia’s Joseph Stalin on his 70th birth anniversary. THE RUSSIANS were in their usually rare form, using the oc casion to hurl a thunderous de mand for peace at the world. In order to achieve it, they would set up, they said, annual awards for those doing the most to preserve peace and to confound the “war mongerens.” That category in cluded, of course, all nations and governments out of sympathy with the Soviet aim of expansion. Almost fantastic was the extent to which the Stalin-worshippers went in adulation of Stalin. Thou sands of parcels and crates, train loads of merchandise, whole ex position halls of trinkets and pic tures, factories and socks, books, and horses, wines and toys, delica cies and cars were funneled toward Moscow from the Elbe to China, from the Arctic to the Black sea. NO ONE MAN could ever use all the gifts, or read all the hon ors. No one man could ever dis tribute them. What it was all worth was anyone’s guess, but cer tainly millions of dollars. Eastern Germany alone col lected 70 freight cars of gifts- one for each year—as a sort of whimsical reparations. The western world paid little heed to the Soviet chest-beating over a desire for peace and, so far as the press recorded, England was the only nation among the North Atlantic pact signatories to send congratulations to Stalin on his birthday. But for the Russians, them selves, to most of whom Stalin is more legendary than real, the thrilling, dramatic high spot of the anniversary celebration came in Moscow when Stalin, himself, walked out on a stage to let the people see him. INDONESIA: Uneasy Freedom The United States of Indonesia was an established fact. It had be come formally free after 300 years of Dutch rule. But the birth of freedom was no routine, casual affair. Just like the case with most republics, the birthday was grim and turbulent. Even as freedom was declared, the new nation deployed troops and maintained a state of siege in wide areas to prevent anticipated disturbances. IT WAS EXPECTED that Com munists and some die-hards would attempt to make trouble for the new republic and to embarrass it by creating disorders. Hundreds of troops patrolled the streets of Batavia and machine- gun posts were set up at intersec tions. Dutch troops throughout the country were confined to barracks for two days to prevent clashes. A UNITED NATIONS commis sion set a truce in the islands which ended the bloody fighting between the Indonesians a n d Dutch, and also supported a Dutch- Indonesian roundtable conference at the Hague last fall which led to the granting of Indonesian inde pendence. MECHANICAL BRAIN Instrument Plots Airplane Performance A giant computer, which engi neers believe can do just about anything except eat and sleep is performing amazing feats in con nection with analyses of airplane performance even before the air plane is built. The device imitates an airplane in flight as it develops information vital to engineers planning air craft for the future. It was lent by the navy’s research section for uge at the Vought —ireraft "aapaay plant in Dallas. > According to engineer* describ ing the device’s functions, it's simple. They admit, however, that it takes years for an operator to learn how to interpret the an: swers which the machine gives. However, those studying the device say it’s time well spent. EINSTEIN: One Great Law? Most schoolboys would react with surprise if told that gravity is still one of the most puzzling of natural forces. They would de clare that Sir Isaac Newton had settled all that when, after watch ing the falling apple, he stated a theory that may be over-simpli fied by explaining it as a fact that “everything that goes up must come down.” However, Albert Einstein, friz zle-haired, unpretentious scientist, ranked as among the greatest in the world, and a key figure in the development of atomic power, wasn’t content to leave it at that. EINSTEIN, after a lifetime of work, had made a great discovery —a discovery he believes will ex plain the mystery of gravitation. One of the greatest of the scien tific enigmas, gravitation keeps humans from floating off the earth, keeps the earth and other planets spinning always in the same path around the sun. According to the new Einstein theory, which was announced by the Princeton university press, all the basic physical laws would be ex plained in terms of gravitation. It is an attempt to describe in one law everything that goes on every where—from the inside of one atom to the limits of the universe. Einstein has been trying to do that for 30 years. If Einstein is right, he may hold the key that will unlock all the secrets of the universe. LIKE RELATIVITY, the new theory is expressed in mathemat ics. The heart of the explanation of gravity is four equations, given in letters or symbols, not numerals. There was no explanation of what the symbols mean, but no physicists were ready yet to try to talk publicly about the new theory. It still had to be tested to see whether it covers all the known laws or observations about the way matter and energy and gravitation behave. TAXATION: A Warning It would be charged to politics and an effort to smear the “Fair Deal” program, but house GOP leader Joseph W. Martin struck a logical note when he warned that a tax increase in 1950 might throw the nation into an economic “tail- spin” and cost millions of workers their jobs. MARTIN took a jibe at President Truman’s indication that some ex cise taxes might be lowered by declaring: ‘It appears Mr. Truman is about to fly a 600-million-dollar kite with a multi-million-dollar tail on it.” That referred to previous state ments by administration leaders that they knew of no way to avoid a deficit without higher taxes. THE PRESIDENT’S PROPOSAL was referred to as a “package deal” which Martin said congress would reject. The plan would sug gest lopping 600 million dollars off the excise levies, but would call for a multi-billion dollar increase in income taxes. THE REPUBLICAN LEADER was on good tactical ground for the simple reason that 1950 is a congressional election year and many Democrats would feel com pelled to go along with the GOP in an anti-tax hike fight.

TLOtUR Quonset-Type Huts Meet Storage Needs 'Little Business' Answers Challenge in Grain Belt Called upon by the department of agriculture to perform a modern miracle, “little business” in 10 midwsstern states is tackling one of the biggest jobs of its kind ever undertaken anywhere in peacetime. Its Herculean assignment is the site preparation and erection of 2,- 300 steel buildings—each 32x96 feet or larger—at 670 widely separated locations. The task arose with the grain belt’s acute need for space in which to store the record-breaking carry over of 1948’s corn crop. In line with Grain being loaded into Quon- set huts for CCC storage near Paulding, Ohio. the trend toward economical “hori zontal” grain storage, the depart ment ordered Quonset buildings for a large part of the necessary new facilities. These archroofed steel units now are mushrooming up be side highways and railroads near farm centers through the efforts of local businesses and labor, rather than the work of transient crews employed by a few big and distant contracting firms. Within two weeks time more than 1,100 concrete foundations had been laid, and erection of steel was un der way on them in every state. The concrete work alone was roughly equivalent to laying 25 miles of highway in a time that an average road-making crew would require to put down one. Sweat Down Costs Sweat down your production costs . if you want to maintain profits in these days of declining farm prices. One way to sweat down those costs is to increase your crop yields per acre. More bushels of corn and grain per acre, more pounds of meat, milk, dairy prod ucts and poultry mean lower pro duction costs per unit. On such a basis you can make a profit even if prices slacken further. You can get those higher yields and lower costs with good soil man agement. Good soil management means giving your soil a fair deal. It means supplying the soil a well- balanced ration of plant foods, so crops will be well nourished. It means building up instead of break ing down soil structure and tilth. It means “recharging” the land with soil-enriching crops at regu lar intervals, instead of growing soil-draining row crops year after year on the same land. Dangers of Butchering At Home are Outlined Home butchering is profitable on the farm and many rural families are replenishing their lockers, jars and pantries. But, unless undue caution is used, home butchering can be dangerous. Equipment, too, should be used with care. AU lmives should be kept in a suitable place when not in use. Hoisting equipment should be checked. A tamper should be used to force meat into fha grinder. Attention to Details Pays Oif for Hog Fanns A ttention to details is the biggest reason why com e hog farm s earned 93,000 m ore than som e others dur ing the past year. F. J. Reiss, farm management specialist in the Illinois college of agriculture, said that 128 high in come hog farms averaged $10,200 earnings from swine last year, while 161 less-efficient farms took In only $8,000. Extra care at for- rowing, control of parasites, helped. BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Pierre, Great Hunter, Found Something He Could Not Kill ■ By BILLY ROSE- From the province of Manitoba in Canada comes the strange tale Oi- Pierre Montevilain, the hunter. Your acceptance or rejection of it will depend on the kind of pixies under your hat. .. .F&r many years, Pierre, a man with the strength of a caribou, lived in almost medieval splendor in a chateau overlooking Lake Winnepeg. Only two things interested'him—hunting and drinking, and the measure of the man was that he was m o re concerned with the potency than th e taste of his liquor, and cared little what it was he shot as long as he made the kill. When he was Airty, he married EmiUe d’Arbesine, a girl of good family from the Winnipegosis dis trict, and when she presented him with a son a year latyr he toasted his heir in Hudson Bay rum and pre dicted that he, too, would some day be a great hunter. His wife, how ever, hated the continual killing, and as the child grew older she was happy that he showed no inclina- Billy Rose tion for the hunt. To encourage his love of wild life, she gave him a silver medallion of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of birds and beasts, a n d hung it around his neck on a thin gold chain. “I’ve heard -it said that when people die their souls enter other living things, some- I,. times an animal,” she told him. * * * A FEW MONTHS before the boy’s ninth birthday, his father found a new-born fawn in the forest and presented it to his son. The lad named it Francois, bottle-fed it until the shakiness went out of its legs, and trained it until it fol lowed him around like a puppy. On his birthday a few weeks Iaterf Pierre gave his so>t another present, a specially - constructed rifle, small enough for a boy to carry but in all other respects an efficient instrument of destruc tion. “Tomorrow,” he said, “we will go hunting.”The youngster said nothing, but later asked his mother what he should do. “You must go with your father,” said Emilie. “You told me that when people die their souls go into animals,” said the boy. “Wouldn’t it be like killing a person?” “Your father thinks differently.” “I won’t shoot to hit anything," said the lad. Pierre, who had been drinking on the porch, overheard the conversa tion. Addressing himself to his son, he said, “There will be no more women’s talk. You will become a man and a hunter like your father. Tomorrow we go to the woods, but your first lesson will be tonight. Take your rifle and shoot the fawn.” Terrified, the boy nodded and went to the bam. He prodded the fawn with a stick and tried to frighten it into the forest, but the pet, thinking it was a new game, took a few playful leaps and then frisked back for more sport. Finally, the boy placed the medal lion of St. Francis around the fawn’s neck. It needed divine pro tection more than he. • • * HALF AN HODF later, Pierre back on the porch, was roused from Zhe Vrescnce WHERE rwo or three are gathered to gether,” Lord, We have your promise that you will be there, We cling to it youi dear unbroken word, We bring the burdens that we cannot bear, We bring our heart’s deep gratitude and praise ‘ And all the supplications of our days. And you are here among us as we plead; We reach our hands to touch your garment’s hem. Your treasure house is opened for our need As much for us today, Lord, as for them Who walked beside you on the earthly roads, And found your hand beneath their heavy loads. So Lord, within our midft, and by our side, Continue Still to be our Strength and guides. I GRACE NOLL CROWCLL his rum by a shot and walked out to the barn, certain that the boy, like a true Montevilain, had obeyed his order. Instead, on the earth floor he found his son’s body, blood ooz ing through the shirt, while the fawn, the medallion dangling from its neck, stood near by. Crazed, Pierre, picked up the rifle and pumped the remaining bullets into the animal’s heart. Then The Fiction CASE OF FORGERY B y Richard H. Wilkinson1 Corner •"THERE'S A CURIOUS TWIST • to this case, inspector,” George Jackson, president of the Medville National Bank was saying, “Anthony Page, who deposited $25,000 with us on Monday, de cided to use his right name at the last moment.” “His right name? What do you mean?” “Anthony Page is a fiction writer. His real name is Edward Thurston. Recently a distant uncle died and _____________left him a small 3 . . . . fortune — $25,000■ Mlnilifi to be exact. Page Fiction consulted me about investments. I advised him not to invest in anything while the market was in its present unstable condition. He agreed, and decided to deposit the money in our bank until things looked better, “He came in early Monday morn ing and made the deposit, decided to use his real name of Edward Thurston at the last moment. On Wednesday, a check for $5,000, signed by Edward Thurston, was presented and cashed by one of our tellers. “ I have questioned Thurston. .» He says he left for Chicago directly after depositing the money, and swears he told no one about his decision io use his real name. He had [signed no checks against bis account! Inspector Kent Clifford reflec tively lighted a cigar. ‘You say that Thurston made his deposit early on Monday morning?” ‘As far as I can find out,”- the president offered, “there were only two men in the bank while Thiurston was here.” He handed the officer a slip of paper. “Here,, are their names and addresses. ’ Both are well known to all of us, men of high repute.” d Simon’s eyes grew wide . . . for a moment he stared as though struck, then impul sively turned and bolted. Inspector Clifford studied the names. “Now tell me what your clerks were up to.” ‘Nothing unusual. Getting things ready to start the day. Making sure deposit blanks, pens, blotters, ink, etc., were on the lobby counters. Arranging their cash ...” Inspector Clifford snapped his fingers. “That’s it.-Come on, we’re going to call on these two men.” T- HE FIRST CALL was on a man named Simons in the suburban town of Sharonfield. Mrs. Simons answered their knock. “Harry is away. Is there' any thing I can do?” Followiug previous instruc tions from Clifford, Jackson said: “We made a mistake in t his monthly statement last week. Do yon happen to know Whether he has it handy?” “It may be on his desk. Will you come inside?” They followed her into the house. There was a small den off the liv ing room containing a desk. Mrs. Simons began opening drawers and peering into them. For a mo ment Inspe5tor Clifford stood idly by. Then suddenly he stepped for ward and snatched something from one of the drawers. Before the startled eyes of Mrs. Simons and the astonished gaze of President Jackson’, he strode over to a window, studied the thing. “Simon’s our man,” he said. “This proves it. Now—” He broke off as the front door opened and closed. As Clifford finished speaking, Simons, a tall spare man, appeared in the doorway, stopped and looked about in bewilderment. ‘T m Inspector Clifford of police headquarters,” the officer said, stepping forward. “Simons, I arrest you for forging Edward Thurston’s name to a check for $5,000.” Simons’ eyes grew wide. The color drained from his cheeks. For 9 moment he stared as though struck, then impulsively turned and bolted. Anticipating the move, In spector Clifford leaped for ward. His fingers caught hold' of the tall man’s collar, and yanked him backward. “Quite simple when explained,” Clifford was saying later. “Simons probably needed money. He was in the bank when Page ,was making his deposit, and picked up the blot ter Page had used when signing his name. It was a new blotter^ and the imprint therefore was defi nitely easy to copy for forgery purposes.” * SSWORD PUZZLE IAST WEEK'S ANSWER ■ ACROSS I. Burrowing animal 6. Mother6. River (Eur.) 10.

Next day the boy was buried with the medallion of St. Francis again around his neck, and after the funeral Emilie went back to hef own village. From then on, the great hunt er became the great butcher. Day after day, he killed as if bent on exterminating every animal in the forest, and at wight he drank and cursed bis wife for her ideas about souls and animals. One evening the following sum mer he saw a giant stag at the far end of the garden. He reached for his gun and followed it down to the lake. At the water’s edge the animal paused and Pierre lifted the gun to his shoulder, but instead of a giant stag he saw a -frightened fawn. Its eye3 re minded him of two other sets of eyes, but he fired, and the animal gave a little jump and fell dead. Attracted by something on its neck, he walked over to see what it was .... The villagers were not surprised a few days later when they learned that Pierre Montevilain had died of ^ stroke. But there was much talk about the object found in the dead man’s hand—a silver medallion of St. Francis of Assisi suspended on a thin gold chain.

It is less than five months until the Ma. primaries will be coming off. Politics is very quiet in Da vie County. This year a sheriff, clerk of the court, coroner, mem ber of the legislature, State sena tor, congressman and solicitor will be voted on in this county. Up to this good hour only one Re publican candidate has announc ed. and he is Attorney J. AIlie Hayes, of North Wilkesboro, who is a candidate for Solicitor in this district against Avalon E. Hall, of Yadkinville, who has held this of fice for the past 12 years. Mr. Hall has announced that he will be a candidate for another term of four years. It is only four weeks uutil ' the voters of Davie County will go to the polls and vote for or against the legalized sale of beer and wine in Davie County. Every voter in the county should know how The Record stands on .his important question. We shall vote against the sale of beer and wine on Feb. 18th if we are able to get to the polls. We would be glad to know how the other county newspapers stand on this question. The pub lie is deeply interested in this vV tal question. Our columns arc open for short letters on this sub ject. Let the public know where you stand. Tobacco Varieties The countv agent’s office has contacted seed dealers in Mocks- ville in regard to having on hand recommended tobacco varieties which are very suitable for Davie County. The tobacco buyers on the markets are getting more and more particular about types of to bacco they are willing to pay good prices for. High prices are paid for thin tobacco that ripens and cures well. Some varieties that we do not recommend might make more pounds per acre but the quality it ill cause it to sell at a lower price. However, if a farm er has been tri ing out several va rieties of tobacco over a period of years and has found any particu lar variety that will produce a large amount of good qnality thin tobacco which has been selling at a good price, he should certainly continue to use it. Local soil conditions have a good deal to do with the tobacco that does best. There are a large number of, farms in Davie County which are! heavily infested with black shank disease. Some farmers told me during 1949 that they had the dis ease in their crop this year for the first time. Setting the crop on land known to be free from the disease is a good practice. Some farmers do not have a great deal of tobacco land on their farms, and they should certainly grow a black shank resistant variety of to bacco. We recommend Vesta 30 to be used on land infested with black shank. Oxford 3 could be used on soils having very little black shank disease. Seed dealers have been asked to make available these varieties in time for sowing plant beds. The other varieties t.iat we recommend and have ask ed the seed dealers to have on hand are: 402, Yellow Special, Bottom SpecialtYeIlow Mammoth, Mammoth Gold, Oxford 26, Lem o i Bright and Gold Dollar. It costs a lot of money and la bor to grow a crop Sof tobacco. Use a variety that will pay off the most at the tobacco market. . E. PEEBLES, Co. Agent. Election Called The Davie County Board of Elections finished checking names on drv force petitions last week and found that the petitions con tained 83 names more than were necessary to compel the board to call an election on the sale of wine and beer in Davie County. The petition contained 1120 nam es, and of this number 826 were qualified vcters. The date of the election will be SaturdayfFeb. 8th. Dr. P. H. Mason is chairman of the Board of Elections. The Record predicts that the people of Davie will give a 2j to I vote against the legalized sale of be.r and wine when the election comes off. An Appreciation I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to the many friends and neighbors for their kindness dur ing the illness and after the death of my moth, r, Mrs. Minnie Smith, and also for the many beautiful floral designs.

International Uniform H N Sunday Sehool Lesscna ftf/tl y DR KENNETH J FDREMflH SCRIPTURE- Acts 0*1—e 4 DEVOTION.Mj READING. I Peter It 3-9. First to Fall Lesson for January 22, 1950 i s Dr. Foreman •TROUBLE IN THE CHURCH can ^ start anywhere. Sometimes it starts with the women. That was the way the early church found it. The experiment in fellowship which they tried ran into snags, for not even the first Christians were perfect. The church in Jerus alem was in a sense inter -racial. Some were bornand bred in Pales tine, an d there were others from the outside, with Greek names, speaking Greek as their native tongue —Hellenists they were called. There was argument: Were the Hellenist widows getting their share of the church’s help? * * * Committee Chairman •THE APOSTLES, being called on, ^ refused to straighten the tangle themselves. Let the church elect a committee, they said. First on the list was a man named Stephen. He turned out to be most famous for being the first Christian martyr, but when he fell unconscious be neath that shower of stones, there died no ordinary man. ' To begin with, he filled the bill as chairman of that Com mittee on Grievances. Not many men, then or now, could fill all three qualifications the Apostles required: reputation, spirituality, and wisdom. It takes a very tactful man to settle a difficulty in which women are concerned; it takes tact to handle any committee; it takes tact to manage an inter-racial sit uation; it calls for wisdom to handle funds.• * * Debater SOME MEN THINK themselves bigger than their jobs. Some men really are bigger, and Stephen was one of these. He spilled over, so to speak; he had even more en ergy and ability than the job called for. We hear of him debating around the synagogue circuit par ticularly in the synagogues which were used by Jews from other parts of the world. We have no details of those debates, but we know how they always came out; Stephen got the decision. We tpm guess, from his great speech in the hour of bis death, what his gen eral line must have been. Many Christians in Jerusalem at that time had little or no idea that Christianity was actually a new re ligion; even the name "Christian” pad not been thought of. They con sidered it a form of the Jewish religion. Scholar STEPHEN’S SPEECH at his trial (Acts 7) may sound dull to some now, but it was not dull to the audience. No man makes a L Hull gppoch on the .hrink -ef--death., r Further, it was that speech thatl got him killed. His listeners mayi npt have liked it, but they certain-l Iy did not think it dull! The beauty of the speech is that it reveals/ Stephen’s keen insight into the re ligious history of his people. j Speaking without notes, he reviews the history of close to 2,000 years in a 10-minute talk, and yet brings out the main points. Only a real schol ar can do that, a man who is both historian and prophet. The most important peaks in Israel’s history were God’s revelations to them; and Stephen shows that these revel ations had never been tied to a house or a book. No institutions and no place I indispensable to God. The same God who had wrought new thing:: in Uie past had now wrought a nev1 thing in Christ.* • • Martyr S TEPHEN’S AUDIENCE was no, convinced. Seeing murder ii their eyes, Stephen knew his time was short In a few stinging last words he reminded them that mur- der was an old story in that TemJ pie. They had killed prophets, they had killed Jesus the “Just One.’j And now—. Now they dragged- Stephen out and stoned him till he died. Well, you can stop a voice but you cannot stop an idea, j Stephen was first to fall, but I not the last. To this very year I Christ has his martyrs, men I and women who will die rather | than deny him. j You can silence a man but yob cannot silence truth. - When "The world goes against her, the Church should remember that now as then, "the blood 'of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.” The Home Workshop Gay Play Pieces Easy to Make CHEST MAY BE MADE WITH OB WITHOUT \WH££LS ANO ftOPE HANDLES STENCIL THE DECORATIONS 7 FM Toy Chest And Play Table •THESE two gay pieces of play ■I equipment are easy to make.

RUBIN THE ORIGINAL BAUME ANALGESIQOE HADACOL is h e lpfu l 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 bene fit from nature’s Vitamins and Minerals in HADACOL. 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 aiid drawn and she suffered from gas on the stomach.” Her system lacked the B Vitamins and Minerals which HADACOL con tains ; and this may cause diges tive disturbances such as heart 51______, bums, indigestion, and often times Miss Giiidry says she could not eat the kind and type of food she wanted without feeling terrible afterwards. Miss Guidry, who recently gradu ated from ,high school, is already working in a bank. She said that after taking^ several bottles of HAD ACOL she is now “feeling wonder ful,1" and has “lots of pep and energy.” 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. I r nearby I Port Arthur, i Texas, Mrs. W. SM. Thompson took HADACOL because it had done her husband so much good. He, in turn, had til cii HADACOL because an elder- Ij neighbor told him of “feeling so Mrs. Thompson muchbetter” after taking several bottles of HADACOL. Mrs. Thompson’s normal weight la 135 pounds but she was down to HO pounds before taking HADACOL and after taking a few bottles of HADACOL she regained her 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 recom mends HADACOL to her friends. She, too, like Miss Guidry and the others, was suffering from the lack of the B Vitamins and Minerals in her system which HADACOL contains. A lack of only a small amount of the B Vitamins and certain Minerals will cause digestive disturbances... Your food will not agree with you... You will have an upset stomach... You will suffer from heart bums, gas pains, and your food will sour 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 con stipation. And while these symptoms may be the results of other causes, they are surely and certainly the symptoms and signs of the lack of the B Vitamins and Minerals which 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 5 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 amaz ing 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.

FIRST AID to the AILING HOUSEl BY ROGER C. WHITMAN Painting Table Pad QUESTION: Can you tell me of something that will darken table pads that are finished with white imitation leather or something of that kind? I would like to have them bfown. ANSWER: After washing and rinsing the surfaces, allow them to dry thoroughly. Wipe with turpentine and finish with two coats of quick-drying enamel. Dull the gloss of the first coat when hard and dry by rubbing lightly with very fine sandpaper. Dust off well and then apply the second coat. When the inside of an enameled pot becomes chipped, ii’s not safe to use because the bare spot may rust a n d further chipping m ay cause pieces of enamel—a form of glass to contaminate' food cooked in the pot.... Keep the upper edges of quilts and comforters clean by sewing some washable material along the binding. It can be taken off and washed frequently, thus postpon ing complete cleaning of the com forter for a long time. * * * For every hour needed to dry a blanket on an outdoor line in av erage weather, it takes only 3 to 4 minutes in an automatic gas dryer; time saved, at least three hours.... Make your own food chopper out of an empty baking powder can. Punch a couple of holes in the bot tom, throw the Iid away, turn the can upside down and start chop ping.

C JANUARY 18 1950 By Shirley Sargent THE SMALL KITTEN called Tupid watched preparations for Christmas dully. Only the middle boy, one Archie Raymond, noticed his apathy. The tree, In all its green splendor, stood tall in the living room bedecked with an in creasing number of ornaments. "Careful," Marcia Raymond ad monished her son sharply. “Don't hang those big balls down so low. The kitten will break them.” Gently Archie lifted them to a higher bough, drawing in the pun gent scent of the pine. Only he saw that the kitten walked slowly under the tree unaware of the boughs tickling her furry back. His young est brother had named the roly- poly butterscotch kitten Tupid. Young Billy was easily aroused to fits of anger. His favorite expres sion, under stress, was a lisped, "You ‘tupid, you big ‘tupid.” Archie, his ten-year-old brother, Joe, and his parents laughed at the •little boy's wrath and, because the kitten was slower than the others in I Sheep Full Fast One I Sheep owners may be wasting their money and fooling themselves badly when they attempt to treat parasitized animals by so-called easy methods. An Ohio veterinar ian reports, in the professional magazine “Veterinary Medicine," that sheep are somewhat like chil dren when it comes to taking cer tain drugs. For example, if given a large medicated bolus or tablet and then turned loose, the sheep may regurgitate it and let it drop to the ground as soon as the owner is out of sight. Or, if fed salt mixed with large amounts of phenothiazine, the animal may re fuse it. ' The writer says that use of a stomach tube is the foolprcnf way to administer para'ite-k i 11 i n g drugs to sheep, regardless of what kind of drug is used. Two Famous Writers Thomas Hardy, the great En-IHi novelist, was not nearly so brilliant a conversationalist as he was an author. At a London d'^ner partv, Hardy sat next to another famous writer. The two had never met be fore their hostess introduced them. Halfway through the meal, the only words they had spok»n to each other were ‘‘How do you do.” Sud denly Hardy loo'-cd up from his plate and said, ,<T)o you talk?” The other gruffly replied, “No.” “Neither do I." grunted Hardy, thereupon settling back and finish ing his dinner in silence. Insect Pollination Colorado’s honey production in 1948 was estimated at 6.840.000 pounds, worth $1,012,000, according to U.S. c’ppartment of agriculture figures. But this is only a small part of the picture. Entomologists claim that honeybees are respon sible for more than 80 per cent of all insect pollination and that at least 50 crops depend upon the in sects for pollination or yield more abundantly when insects are plen tiful. Included in these 50 crops are cabbage, cantaloupe, carrots, onion, alfalfa sec', apples, some peaches, pears, cherries—just to mention nine. Tupid circled and smelled at the black kitten until he was sat isfied. Then his tongue flicked M t to lick the kitten. the litter, they named him, most af fectionately, Tupid. "Archie,” Mrs. Raymond was flurried from ail the excitement, "That blue globe is much too low. Tupid will get it. I don’t doubt,” she added pessimistically, “that we will lose half of our globes.” Archie could see that Tupid had no interest either in the swaying boughs or the brilliant-colored frag ile balls. For two days Tupid had wandered carelessly about the house and yard. He wasn’t playful or friendly and he had stopped pur ring. Only Archie sensed that the kitten was lonesome for his sisters and brothers and his mother. At first there had been four balls of fur and a proud old alley cat moth er. As they grew, they had become playful, pattering swiftly tlirough the house. But now they were all gone, including the mother. Just Tupid was left to keep. Even the black imp with shoe-button' eyes had been given away. Tar Baby, who had been the boss of the litter, had been gone barely two days, and Tupid missed him. “Well,” his father’s voice boomed again, as he climbed down the lad der. “All done in time for Christ mas Eve. Come here, Joe, Archie, you too Billy. I want you to see this fine tree.” Mrs. Raymond switched the lights off and Archie shivered in delighted excitement as the tree blazed, il lumined by the str n^s of lights and balls. The magic moment was shattered by the sharp ring of the doorbell. A rush of cold air came in as Mr. Raymond flung open the door wide to admit a bundled figure. “My father says I can’t keep the kitten,” Gerald Parks recited automatically, close to tears, “I have to give it back because it gives my father hay fever.” Gerald went out in another rush of frosty air, but not before Mrs. Raymond had pressed a fat candy cane into his mittened hand. Tar Baby huddled in the middle of the floor. “Watch it, beys,” Mr. Raymond warned, “Let’s just watch him. He feels strange here now: he’ll be all right in a while.” Archie saw Tupid jump from the sofa with a purr of delight. Tupid circled and smelled at the black kitten until he was satisfied. Then his tongue flicked out to lick the kitten. Tupid’s paws caressed him as his tongue washed him. The black kitten stood passive, as Tupid showered his pent-up love on him. "Thay, mommy," Billy lisped, ■ “Tupid’s kissing him, isn’t he?” llUm/' Mrs. Raymond agreed, lT ar Baby’s Tupid’s Christmas present.” Mt. Raymond’s eyes swept his ] •088’ awe-struck faces, “No,” he Mld firmlj% “He’s our Christmas JffMent too.” Spread of Mastitis If mastitis is present in even one cow in a herd, the milker’s hands or teat cups of the milking machine may spread the infection to other cows, Jrecent experiments showed. Throughout a period of 15 weeks, mastitis-infected milk was applied to the teats of 18 healthy cows prior to each milking, and by the end of that period, 12 of them had devel oped this udder disease. Veterinary medical authorities say this experi ment emphasizes the need for sys tematic disinfection in dairy bams, with special attention to udders, milkers’ hands, and milking equip ment.

Treasury DepartnMM Archaeological Workers Discover Earliest Home Discovery of what is probably the earliest house found in North America—a below-ground struc ture probably occupied by the pre historic Cochise Indians about 5,000 years ago—has just been re ported by Dr. Paul S. Martin, lead er of the southwest archaeological expedition of Chicago Natural his tory museum excavating in New Mexico. Dr. Martin is the mu seum’s chief curator of anthro pology. Dr. Martin tells also of uncover ing an above-ground “house of mystery” which evidently was oc cupied about the time William the Conqueror was invading England, or possibly as early as A.D. 950, and abandoned probably about A. D. 1100. It represents the first American effort at “slum clear ance.” Dr. Martin writes from the ex pedition camp in Pine Lawn Val ley in west central New Mexico about 100 miles north of Silver City: “Tucked away deep in a forest and situated on a narrow penin sula between tw o convergent stream beds, one of which still carries water, is an ancient ham let. Our staff calls this pueblo ‘the house of mystery’ because it has revealed so many curious and un explainable features. “The pueblo contains six rooms, all built on top of the ground. The walls are made up of crude bould ers and pebbles. But this primitive masonry is the earliest in the area and has been dubbed ‘dawn masorA ry.’ Indians who occupied earlier' villages In this area did not live in surface houses with stone walls, but in underground units—“pit- houses,’ usually about 12 feet in diameter and 3 feet deep. The ‘house of mystery' is the first village made up of contiguous rooms with masonry walls, built on top of the ground—thus, it reo- resents one of American aboriginal man’s earliest efforts to pull him self upward, to improve his homes —a sort of ancient ‘slum clearance’ project. In the rooms were found corn-grinding mills, stone ax-heads, hammerstones and bone awls.” Video Boom Wail Colors Have Bearing on Vision The color of your livin? room walls have a lot to do with how well you see television. Middle and light-middle colors are best for the “video room” the company says. These ranges ex clude the colors that will interfere with vision by absorbing or reflect ing light excessively. The wall directly behind the screen is the key to the room’s color scheme. It should be from specified ranges and must be flat finish. Glossy surfaces act like a mirror, reflecting light from any source in the room. Use of the proper color ranges is no problem to the decorator. In recent years a large number of new colors has been made avail able to everybody. Television does not reauire a dark, drab living room. When the set is not in use and all the lights are turned on, the room can have exactly the character the home owner desires. It is pointed out that the sug gested colors are right in line with current color fashions, medium dark walls being popular today. Lnminoas Paint One of the most important sur faces to which luminous paint can be applied is the edge of a door. Left ajar freauently, doors can prove real collision hazards, and broken toes, as well as “authentic1 black eyes can result. A luminous vertical stripe along the edge of door frame can also serve as a guiding light. A narrow stripe along the edge of the window still facilitates the opening or closinp of a window during the night hours. Stripes along the edges o' bureaus, night stands, dressino tables and benches are also ef fective. Phones can be painted if it is' permissible. If not, the plastic cases available to cover phones can be so treated. Stumbling Sheep A sheep that trails behind the res’ of the flock and gets out of breath or falls down when it tries to catch up may be suffering from vitamin A deficiency, according to thi, American Journal of Veterinary Research. Such deficiency often dp velops when sheep graze on stubbl-J fields or cut-over hay fields, are al lowed to eat straw, or are fed low-| quality hay throughout the fall am winter. Night blindness also is like Iy to develop when sheep fail to ge enough vitamin A ONE VIRTUE , A bad, bad man was shot in a saloon brawl in Cripple Creek, in the old days. They buried him; then everyone stood around the filled grave expectantly, waiting for someone to say a few good words for the de ceased. AU tongues were silent. At last one man, who had known the deceased longest, lifted his hand. “Friends,” he said with heartfelt feeling, "of Jim used to shoot a mighty good hand at marbles, as a kid.” Trade Vfith The Merchants Vtho Advertise In The Davie Record Boger & Howard PURE SERVICE j Tir s Batteries And Accessories Kurfees Paints Comer N.

Murmurings And Disptttings Rev. W. E.'Itenhour.'Hlih Point, N. C. R4 The fourteenth verse of the se cond chapter of Pbilipplans savs, "Do all things without murmur. Ings and disnutings.” We believe many people who profess to be Christiansfail to live up to this passage of Scripture. Certainly there are sinners everywhere who murmur and dispute. Murmur is to complain; dispute is to take is sue with, to argue irritably, to wrangle, and maybe to quarrsl. Mnrmnrings and disputines ruin many a home and blight many a life. Such is indeeed displeasing to God. Marmnring and disputing hns- bands and wives do not live hap. nlly together. In fact fhev make life miserable for each other. Com. training and quarreling, argning and disagreeing is verv irritating It can ruin a home, thus separat. ng hnsband nnd wife, maybe bringing abont a divorce No doubt many divorce cases come as a result of murmurings and .dis. on tines. Murmnrings and disputines on the Part of brothers and sisters of a family brings ahout mnch trou ble. The same is true among as- sociates and classmates. We real ize that It is never wise, and never nleasine to God, to cultivate a soi- rit of murmnrine and complalnljp,’ dispntine and quarreling. WhKvj such a spirit exists in one’s heat mind, sonl and spirit he shonl hasten to Jesns for salvation, 01 for sanctification. A deep and tho- roueh work of the Hoty Spirit fn one’s inner life will cure him of mnrtmtrings and disputines Noth Ine elce ran St-Onmollsh this. Perhaps >♦ fs more serious toj murmur and dispute rl'an the aver ap* person reillreo.

IngS and dispntings.” Vfe Hope So Lieutenant-Governor H P Tay •or. in a speech In Charlotte re. centfy made this statement; “It’s time for right.thinking neo pie to call a hale in the dissipation of our resources, the spending of tnonev the way we have been spen» ding it. The ever.mounting feder. al debt is especially pleasing to fo. seph Stalin.” Well, we don’t know ahout Stal. in: our opinion is that he is too busy attending to his own business to bother very mnch ahout our eco nomic situation. We do know, however, that right-thinking peo. pie are becoming increasingly wor ried abrut extravagant exoendi t ires on the part of the federal government. It has been encouraging to repd statements bv various members of Congress recently expressing the same sentiments as those expressed hv Governor Taylor. We believe that when Congress meets again a determined effort will he made to reduce governmental expenditures We hvtieve that more and more people realize that we cannot con. tinue along the route we have been following without inviting disaster. Maybe a program of economy is actually on the way. We sincerely hope It is.—The State. ZAFF U N E S That Got Her A s u b u rb a n ite was .sitting at his window one evening when he casually called to his wife: “There goes Siat woman Bill Jones is so terribly in love with.” His wife, who was in the kitchen, dropped a cup. she was wiping, hurtled through the door, knocked over a lamp and a bowl of gold fish, and craned her neck to look OUt the window. “Where?” she panted. "There,” he pointed, “that wom an with the tweed coat on the cor ner.” “You idiot,” she hissed, “that’s his wife.” “Yes. of course,” he replied smoothly. ALWAYS THE SAME T fitf ’"■F - His health wasn’t any too good, so the eastern city-dweller went looking for a place to live in the Scuthweist.- In one small town in Arizona, he approached an o’d timer sitting on the steps of ths general store. “&ay,” he asked, “what’s the death rate arotnd here?” “Same as it is back East, bub,” ansv/ered the old fellow, “one to a person.” Fn1I Trme An English tourist was on his first visit to Niagara Fails, and a guide was trying to impress him with their magnitude. “Grand!" suggested the guide. The visitor did not seem im pressed. “Millions of gallons a minute!” explained the guide. “How many a day?” asked the. tourist. “Oh, billions and billions!” an swered the guide. The visitor looked across and down and up, as if gauging the flow. Then he turned away, ap parently unimpressed. "Runs all night too, I suppose!" he remarked. GOOD MARKING With his wife sick in bed, hubby —and pandemonium—reigned su preme in the kitchen. But the tea was missing. He looked high and low and finally called to his wife: “I can’t find the tea, dear. Where do you keep it?” , “I don’t know why you can’t find it,” came the peevish reply. "It’s right in front, on the cup board shelf, in a cocoa tin marked *matches! ’ ” Knew Who to Call “If you try to kiss me, I’ll call mother.” ‘‘What’s the matter with your father?” “Oh, he isn’t as deaf as mother is.” Vkants Prohibition The last 50 years has been called the “Golden age of scientific med icine.” Before this time some peo ple lay in the streets and homes having died of contageous disease and people were afraid to come ; near to bury them. Today science has taught how to control such conditions and also how to pre vent them. Science has been at war with disease. The laboratory is the workshop of the scientist. Less than 100 years ago the treat ment of some diseases was guess work. A mad dog’s bite was trea ted by a magic madstone. For treatment of many diseases alco hol stood first in the cabinet. Jf a person fainted his jaw was pried open and in went alcohol to stim ulate him. Did it? Studies and tesrs in laboratories in the past few years proves that it depresses or weakens the functions of the body. On fainting the person was already depressed bv low blood pressure, and little blood was be- iug carried to the btain. By brea thing the strong alcohol the per son might gasp and become con scious, but breathing ammonia would do the same, and no.t be dangerous. i In snake bites, alcohol was the fjrst thing on the list to take, but science has taught that poison ftom the snake’s teeth affects the Kpdy bv causing the blood pres sure to YaII. When this happens, the vessels that carry the blood to tVitftotthtf&not well filled and t able to pump the should go. caused bv work- d getting too hot; .ted becomes weak jilts, caused by low bfood pressure. Now we know tHat alcohol will only add trouble. In pneumonia people say it is g0od. Is it? A survey at Beluve hjbspitel of 50 patients show those nbt treated with alcohol 15 per cpnt die, while 50 treated with al- cbhol 37 per cent died. From sime hospital shows that total ab stainers I5i per cent from pneu- riionia died, while immoderate drinkers 52 per cent died, i Some say it makes people strong and able to resist disease. Science shows that alcohol is a germicide and destroys the tissues and cells of the body, also the white cor- pucles of the blood which de stroys germs which get into the blood. Somepeople drink beer to get fat. Yes, it fattens you, but it is the kind you don’t want. Beer fat is a soft, shapeless fat. In countries where thev drink it in quantities they are fat, shape less, course and very unattractive. Thev have what is known as beer heart. The heart becomes large, covered with fat tissues. In a nor mal heart there is no fat. Now what effect does alcohol have on the body? You can’t see in the body; you can see it In animals. If you pump alcohol into a rabbit you will find it red with some blood spots. In the human body you find the healthy pink mucous lining, behind it the millions of little glands and cells. It is red with blood spots, thick like leath er. This repeatedly causes sores, uicers and broken down health. The greatest tragedy in alcohol is not drunks and waste of money, but it is the effect it has on hum an offspring. It destroys blood sells, and causes children to be bom weak and deformed. That is why normal parents had 82 per cent of their children able to live, while alcoholic parents have only 17i per cent of their children live. Why I vote against wine, beer and liquor: 1. The Bible condemns it from lid to lid. 2. It injures and destroysthe body# 34It|isithe*nuinber»on« enemy to mankind. It has drained more blood, hung more crepe, sold more homes, plunged more peo ple into bankruptcy, armed more villians, slain more children, snap ped more wedding rings, defiled more innocent, blinded more eyes, twisted more limbs, dethroned more intellects, wrecked more manhood, dishonored more wom anhood, broke more hearts, blast ed more lives, driven to more sui cide and dug more graves than any other poisoned scourge that ever swept its death-dealing waves across the world. 4. I have fout children and each one of diem is a reason. 5. I don’t want my neighbors’ children, to.have.j® .pay with their lives for a crime they committed under the influence of liquor that I Dut before them by my vote. I can’t keep everybody from drink ing, but I can do my best to keep it away from them. 6. It shortens life. Insurance records show that people who drink live from 3J to 10 years less than those who do not drink. I don’t want to shorten my life even 3i years. 7. It breaks down prosperity.

THE DAYlE RECORD, MOCKSV1LLE. N. C. Friction in C abinet U E R E IS THE INSIDE story on reports of friction between two of the m ost potent Truman cabinet m em bers—Secretary of State Dean Acheson and Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson. Actually there have been differ ences of opinion between them on three important policies, but both m en are now leaning over back ward to get along with each other. The three policies are: (I) sending a steel m ill to Yugoslavia, which Johnson opposed b u t Acheson favored; (2) occupying Form osa with U. S. troops, which Johnson favored but Acheson opposed; (3) general Am erican policy in the Far E ast, where Johnson believes the United States should have vigor ously supported Chiang Kai-shek. Acheson has particularly re sented Johnson’s barging into the Far Eastern situation; and the be lief has been expressed around the state departm ent that Johnson’s interferences could not be divorced entirely from his law firm which once represented the brothers-in- law of Chiang Kai-shek and the Soong dynasty. A rgum ent Over Planes One sm all part of the Johnson- Acheson irritation cam e when the secretary of defense balked at giv ing the secretary of state a special White House plane to fly to the B ig Three foreign m inisters con- ference last Novem ber. Acheson wanted the “ Dew- Drop,” the deluxe liner which the air force had built for “ President” D ew ey. But John son refused on the ground that the President's special plane, the “ Independence,” w as en route Io Iran to bring back the Shah, and that Mr. Truman wanted the “Dew - Drop” kept in the United States in case of em ergency. Johnson offered his cabinet col league the President’s onetim e plane, the “Sacred Cow,” but the Sacred Cow does not m ake as much speed as the Independence or the Dew-Drop. So, without arguing any further with the secretary of defense, the secretary of state quietly rented a special plane from A m erican airlines. W incheII Starts Som ething Shortly after Acheson returned from Europe, W alter W inchell broadcast an item that Washington in 1950 would not be big enough for both Acheson and Johnson. Acheson didn’t know anything about the broadcast—until 9 a. m . next day, when he' got a phone call from Johnson asking if he could com e over to see him right away. Acheson agreed; and Johnson, ar riving a few m inutes later, asked: “Did you hear what W alter W inchell said last night?” Acheson hadn’t, but thought it w as interesting that the sec retary of defense should go to so much trouble to say that he had nothing to do with inspir ing the broadcast. As a m atter of fact, if either Cf the m en departs, it w ill probably be Johnson—not because he isn’t doing a good job; he is. But he has occasionally stepped on Tru man’s toes. Johnson’s Double Job Johnson is doing one of the m ost difficult jobs ever tackled by any adm inistration—pruning the m ili tary budget and at the sam e tim e putting across unification. Crack ing arm y-navy heads together is difficult enough and contributed sim ultaneously cutting the budget to the death of his predecessor. But is bound to m ake any cabinet sec retary of defense unpopular inside the governm ent. However, Johnson, in his zeal to get things done, doesn’t alw ays clear his appointm ents with either the D em ocratic national com m it tee or the White House secretariat. On m ajor appointm ents, he clears with the President him self, but he goes over the heads of the m en around Truman to do this, and they don’t like it. R esult has been a steady trickle of well-placed anti- Johnson venom in the Presi dent’s ear. This, plus perhaps the fact that Truman m ay see a 1952 presidential rival in the dynam ic secretary of defense, explains why he dropped the rem ark to intim ates that som e day he’s going to “ get rid of that so-and-so.” Truman, however, has been Icnown to fly off the handle and then forget about it. M eanwhile, Johnson is doing one of the best jobs in the cabinet, and would not be easy to replace. So •also is Acheson. And as of the present m om ent they seem to have clim bed out of each other’s hair and put aside their differences.

FORMOSA: Atomic 'Advances' Shall We Intervene? As the agitation for U . S. inter vention in Form osa grows, m any Am ericans w ill have a sharp flash back of m em ory to the days when Anthony Eden and others were urging boycotts against M ussolini and the Japs as cam paigns of con quest w ere getting underway. Now, there are m any im portant U. S. officials and ex-leaders Who argue that the United States m ust step in to keep Communist China from swallowing up Form osa. U se of arm ed force, if necessary, is recom m ended to stop that m ove ment. LATEST TO JOIN with those ad vocating intervention in Form osa was Herbert Hoover, form er pres ident of the United States. He con tended that such a policy w as nec essary to safeguard this country’s own security. Hoover argued the U- S. should use its naval power to protect not only the big island stronghold of Formosa but also lesser islands which Chiang Kai-shek’s . forces were seeking to defend along the south China coast. He declared such a step would “erect a w all against com m unism in the Pacific” and offer a “con tinued hope of som e tim e turning China into the paths of freedom again.” HOWEVER, the decision w as further com plicated by a British stand tha£. A m erican China policy would strain Anglo-Am erican rela tions. Indications w ere that Britain was just about ready to recognize the Chinese Communist regim e. A lw ays the practical realist, Brit ain m oves wherever her own best interests dictate, or where she thinks they dictate. Hence, for the U. S. to lash out at the Chinese Reds just when the British were trying to woo the Communist busi ness apparently w asn’t going to sit w ell with Great Britain. BUDGET: Drive for Balance According to house Republican Leader M artin of M assachusetts, the United States governm ent should be able -to live within its income without raising taxes. That nf course m eant that the U . S. ought to be able to balance its budget. MARTIN joined forces with Sen. Robert Taft, of Ohio, who is on record as saying he believes the federal budget could be balanced in fiscal 1951. The tw o law m akers are united in a drive to attem pt to iorce the governm ent to live with in its income. The project obviously had m ore merit than chance for success, for with congress predominantly Dem ocratic, there would be little prob ability of any great tax changes in the m atter of reduced operating expenses. A ll indications w ere that w hile there m ight not be any tax in creases, there certainly would be little of tax reductions, despite ad m inistration claim s that the gov ernment couldn’t operate without more tax revenue. W here the bal- ancing-up will com e is problemat ical as yet. TAFT and M artin outlined their views as congress reconvened. Both declared they would oppose vigorously any adm inistration re quest for increases either in cor poration or high-braeket incom e taxes. Taft said he would not object to a deficit of about tw o billion dollars in 1951 if he w ere sure the govern m ent would get back into the black In fiscal 1952. The deficit this year is expected to run about 5.5 billion dollars.- BRITISH: No, Thanks Miffed because the world bank wanted to know too m uch about its operations, Great Britain’s colon ial, developm ent corporation with drew its application to the inter national bank for a loan of five m illion dollars. T h e 280-million-dollar govern m ent corporation, set up in 1948 to foster colonial developm ent, said it wanted the loan to buy “indispen sable” American-built land-clear ing m achinery. THE CORPORATION would have been required to subm it its de tailed budget to the bank for som e years ahead and would have had to m ake quarterly statem ents showing total assets, liabilities and expenditures of each of its mul tiple operations. Chairman Lord Trefargne told newsm en the corporation would buy the "second-best” m achinery constructed in Britain and Italy. He declared the bank’s term s w ere “too onerous." The corporation’s projects now underway included:. Agricultural developm ents in Bor neo, British Honduras, the Lee ward islands, and A frica; forestry and m ineral projects in British Guiana, and factory construction in northern Rhodesia, Kenya and Jam aica. David E . Lilienthal, atom ic energy com m ission chief, told a news conference that there have been “ several secret ad vances” in the developm ent of atom ic energy. He said these are com parable to the "breed er design” in 1949. EDUCATION: Money & Health The needs of education in the nation apparently w ere to be well looked after in W ashington, as far as interest and stressing of neces sity w ere concerned. The A m erican Parents’ Commit tee announced a nine-point pro gram in the child w elfare field for consideration at the current congress session. THIS COMMITTEE w as organ ized three years ago to work for a national program to benefit chil dren. . Legislation the com m ittee will press for w ill be: The national school-health-serv- ices bill for an annual 35 m illion dollars grants-in-aid for school health exam inations and treatm ent for all school children. This m eas ure has been passed by the sen ate. The public - school - construction bill, asking five billion to m atch state funds for a nation-wide sur vey of needs, and other sum s for em ergency school construction, which have been approved by the senate. THE federal aid - for - education bill, which would provide 300 m il lion for grants-in-aid to the states under a formula which gives a larger proportion of funds to the needier states. This bill passed the senate but w as blocked in the house because of the controversy over “services” to parochial schools. The national child-research bill, which asks 7.5 m illion annual for research in child life and develop m ents. The bill on social security re visions, asking increased benefits for dependent children. The local public-health units bill, which would increase health safe guards for children. AN INCREASE in funds for the Children’s Bureau. Increased school lunch appropria tions. COFFEE: $11 More The recent zoom in coffee pric; which jam m ed food stores with cited crowds of economy-conscii shoppers, w ill add a little over to the average Am erican hoi hold’s coffee bill for 1950 un: few er or thinner cups are d: this year, says the fam ily ecom] ics bureau of Northwestern NatJ al Life Insurance company. The retail rise in the Unij States, averaging around 22 cej a pound from m id-sum m er to D ecem ber, parallels an alml equal clim b of approxim ately cents a pound in Latin-Amerii prices on green coffee, accord: to the bureau. AMOUNTING to over 38 timi the cost of the coffee price rise, approxim ately $425 per year, the average U!' S. fam ily’s shal of the 20-billion-dollar increal since 1939 in our governm ent’s nual non-military expenditures, bureau points out. A yearly saving of $86, direct: and indirectly, would be the ave: age fam ily’s share in the four bi! lion dollars w h ich .it is estim ate! can be saved each year m erely b] modernizing and stream lining go’ ernm ent operations; this savin; would pay for the average housi hold’s entire annual supply of 51 pounds of store-bought coffee, even if the price went to $1 a pound, and still leave $35 for sugar and cream , the bureau calculates. Sleep H abits Revealing Since practically a third of one’s entire lifetim e is spent sleeping, this phenomenon properly engages the attention of scientists. As w itness the conclusions by Prof. Alfred Adler,’ psychologist, that the person who sleeps on his back, stretched out like a soldier at attention, wants to be as great as possible. The sleeper who curls up like a hedgehog, he says, prob ably lacks courage.

Unto All Men Lesson for January 29, 1950 « M ARK TIM E, Christian Sol- ^ diers,” is not a Christian hym n. The word is “Onward, Chris tian Soldiers!” The com m and was given by no less a person than Jesus him self: “Go and m ake dis ciples of all nations, baptizing them . . . teaching them . . .” (M att. 28:19, 20) D o yi know som e one the church w h o says h e doesn’t believe in m is sions? Such a man does n o t take Christ seriously. If you do believe in Christ then his Dr- Forem an com m ands are for you to obey, not to ignore. * * * W hen M en D elay TTP TO NOW, the church has been playing around with Jesus’ com m and. Very few denom inations are actually putting any large amount of m oney or manpower into obeying Christ’s com m and to go into all the world. One fairly typical Am erican de nom ination contributed last year to all benevolences, that is to all causes not in their own local con gregations, the sum of $9,137,065. That sounds like a lot; but divided by- the total num ber of m em bers it boils down to $14.03 per m em ber for the year, or less than five ceiits a day. [ And of course not all that big sum of five cents went tq m issions of any sort. Yet that denom ination gives m ore p e l capita to m issions than m olt others do. When a m an wh® gives less than five cents a day to carry the good new s off Christ into the wide world sings “ Omvard, Christian Sol diers!” or prays “ Thy King dom com e!” how m uch doas he m ean it? Not a nickeHs worth! \ Or take the question of idan- power. The sam e denominaLon sends out as m issionaries, every year, as m any m en and women! as are sent by som e denom inations three tim es its size. And yet, eyen so, the total number of ordai m inisters in that denom inatf who are foreign m issionaries only 4 per cent of their total ni ber of m inisters. “Go into all the world,” said the M aster. “Four per cent of us will ,X w e reply, “the rest of us will stay at hom e.” * * * I W hen M en O bey ) H S A MATTER OF FACT, even * * the earliest church was slow to pay real attention to Christ’s command, Forward!

Patterson, 503 Dennis Street, Houston, Texas, thank HADACOL every week when Mr. Patterson brings home his pay check. Mr. Patterson is a member of Houston Local 213, International Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join ers, but for more thaii a year was unable to work, despite frequent wonderful offers from contractors. Then last September, Mr. Patter son heard “the blessed news” about HADACOL and the wonderful relief it had brought to cduntless thou sands. Since then he-has taken more than 20 bottles of HADACOL und has worked steady.wm W. P. PATTERSON Here is Mr. Patterson’s statement: “I had been unable to work for more than a year when I heard about HADACOL last September. Since then I have taken about 20 bottles. I am doing carpenter work every day. I was troubled with digestive disturb ances, gas on the stomach and bloat ing. I have recommended HADACOL to about 50 people and most of those who followed my advice are feeling better. I am sure that I, owe part of every pay check to HADACOL and the blessed relief that it brings.” Mrs. Patterson, who listened while Mr. Patterson made hi's statement and incidentally helps him raise un usual types of roses, commented that since he has been taking HADACOL that he is eating her out of “house and home.” He used to eat only bread and milk, but now even eat, frankfurters and Vienna sausages. Mr. Patterson was suffering from , a lack of B Vitamins and the Miner- j als which HADACOL contains. I HADACOL comes to you in liquid | form, easily assimilated in the blood I stream so that it can go to work ) right away. A lack of only a small amount of B Vitamins and certain Minerals will cause digestive disturbances. .. Your food will not agree with you. . . You will have an upset stom ach... You will suffer from heartburn, gas pains and your food will sour on your stomach and you will not be able to eat the things you like for fear of being in misery afterwards. Many people also suffer from con stipation. And while these symptoms may be the results of other causes, they are surely and certainly the symptoms and signs of lack of B Vitamins and Minerals which HAD ACOL 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 countle -.s 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 HADA COL a trial. Don’t go on suffering. Don’t continue to lead a miserable life. Many persons who have suf fered 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 yourself. Tempo rary relief is not enough for you. Give HADACOL a trial! Sold at all leading drug stores. Trial size only $1.25, but save money; buy the large family econ omy size, only $3.50. If your drug gist does not handle HADACOL, order direct from The LeBIanc Cor poration, Lafayette, La., and when- the postman brings your package just pay the amount plus the c.o.d. and postage. If you remit with the order we will pay the postage. Then, if you don’t feel perfectly satisfied after using HADACOL as directed, Just return the empty car ton and your money will be cheer fully refunded. Nothing couid be fairer.—Adv.

MOCKSV1LLE N1 C JANUARY 26 1950 W yem lnc Jade Min* S««n A t Opening Up New M arts Betw een Muddy Gap and Lander, Wyo., within sight of the old Oregon Trail, the only jade mine in the w estern hem isphere is in operation again. Out of the huge deposit—which is expected to result in a new m arket for the sem i-precious stone —chunks three feet long, 18 inches wide and 18 inches deep have been taken. Previously, the use of jade has been lim ited to jew elry and carv ings, or for .sm all inlays in expen sive furniture. D evelopm ent of the big Wyoming deposit m eans that the hom e build er who wants a touch of luxury or the designer of a building or thea ter which needs an “extra touch” can order jade in place of m arble. Harrison S. Cobb, Boulder, Colo., m ine operator and partner to the A m erican Jade Co., developer of the deposit, believes that the m ar ket is unlimited, although the sup ply still w ill be lim ited. Proces sing of the stone is expensive, since it m ust be cut out of the roueh natural shapes by jew elers’ tools. A peculiarity of geology provided jade in a 15-by-30-mile area in Wyo- m ing—the only deposit of its Winr' known in North A m erica. The fac’ of existence of som e jade in that area has long been known, and eight tons of the stone have heer taken out of Lander in the last 2P years. AU this w as found on the surface of the ground. Cobb and other m ining m en call it "float” or "out cropping.” The new developm ent is a quarry- type operation, a n d operation started a month a?o. The large deposit w as discovered accidentally by Ted Graham of the historic Graham ranch, as he was riding the range a few years ago. G raham sold the property to a group of Denver businessm en. Move Over W ider W ater Use on Farm s M akes Stock Profits Zoom W ater is cheao. but how it is handled on the farm can make considerable difference in the net profit returned to the farm er. Cows watered two or three tim es a day, for exam ple, drink about 40 per cent m ore w ater than those cows watered but once. Likewise, cow s having water available at all tim es produce at least 10 per cent m ore m ilk and butterfat than those with lim ited w ater available. Steers and hogs will fatten more quickly and with less feed when w ater is readily available. In states with wide yearly tem perature ranges, egg production tests have shown that hens lay at least 19 per cent more eggs when w arm ed running w ater is provided during the cold w'nter months. Probably the greatest value from running water, and som ething that cannot be m easured in dollars and cents, is increased sanitation"'and better health for the farm faiViily. E lectricity on the farm m akes pos sible every convenience of the ur ban dweller. Another intangible bearing heav ily in favor of water system s is the decreased fire hazard. About $100.00,000 is the annual toll of farm fires. W ater under pressure has saved m any a farm hom e or service building as w ell as live stock. Soccer as a Sport What’s the national sport? In the United States the answ ers to such a poll would put baseball and basketball at the top. Not so in the British Isles, Italy, Uruguay, and about 50 other countries from arctic Spitsbergen to Australia. High on the list, if not at the top, would be soccer. Some foregin team s toured the U. S. last sum m er, dem onstrating their brand of play. So popular is soccer in m any parts of the world that it often stirs spectators to a state of near- hysteria. In Buenos Aires. Argen tina, referees som etim es a r e hustled from the stadium ' under guard lest they be manhandled. Enthusiasm in Italy rivals the best the world series can offer. Lake Bonneville Lake Bonneville is the nam e given by geologists to a fresh-water lake which existed thousands of years ago. It covered som e 20,000 square m iles, in what is now Utah as w ell as parts of Idaho and N eva da. In places it was as much a? 1,000 feet deep. As the tem perature rose and rainfall decreased, with the withdrawal of the glaciers that had covered a large part of North Amer ica, Lake Bonneville shrank and only a few such sm aller la1-es sur vive. The principal one is Great Salt lake, which covers only 2,000 square m iles and has an average depth of less than 20 feet. A VACATIONIST out on a hike, passed an insane asylum and struck up a conversation with an in m ate who was "painting” the fence w ith a brush and a bucket of straw. The inm ate explained that he really w asn’t crazy. Just passing the tim e there. In an effort to augm ent the con versation the inm ate pointed up the hill and said, "See that tree up there? There’s a lot of gold buried under it and when I get tim e I’m going to dig it up.” The following day the vacationist cam e up to the inm ate who w as still "painting” the fence with his buck et of straw, end asked casually, “Say, oldtim er, which tree did you say had all that gold buried under it?” The inm ate looked down at the vacationist’s cal’oused hards and rem arked, “Belter get another pail of straw and join m e.” TKE PLACS WV3 FAKILtAK • / ‘V I(; I In Ancient Greece Lucian, the Greek writer, who probably found his toga be sm irched by the lead carbonate used as a face powder by the Greek dam sels, opened up with this pointed criticism about 200 B.C.: “You dye your hair, but you will not dye your old age, nor will y-ju stretch the wrinkles out of your cheeks.

Nutrition authori ties have pointed out that people past 60 need an abundant supply of calcium —alm ost as much as grow ing children require—and now vet erinarians are passing along the word that calcium intake of aging dogs also should be watched close ly. The advice is based on labora tory studies showing that as dogs get older, they tend to lose calcium from their bodies unless they get a generous amount of it in the dailv diet.

Treinay Deptttmm R ugged Electron Tubes Undergoing D evelopm ent I Rugged electron tubes are In- I dispensable w herever electronic equipm ent is used under severe conditions of vibration shock, or acceleration. Im portant in the de velopm ent of such tubes are m eth ods of testing for sturdiness and durability. T hese m ethods are now being studied and developed at the Nation al Bureau of Standards as part of a com prehensive tube ruggedization program under the direction of I. L. Cherrick of the bureau’s electron tube laboratory. One phase of the project consists of a survey of the actual operating conditions for electron tubes in various kinds of com m ercial, in dustrial, and m ilitary applications. This study provides a practical basis for the design of test equip m ent to sim ulate the hazards of actual use. In addition to working out ade quate test m ethods, the bureau is developing new kinds of rugged tubes. The design of these tubes is based on an analysis of the w ays in which ordinary tubes Iail under test or in service. A detailed knowl edge of operating conditions and tube failure is thus a useful guide to the design of tubes that w ill be strong enough to operate properly under severe m echanical abuse. Som e tubes m ay have to withstand great extrem es of tem perature as w ell, but in any case the m echan ical design of a rugged tube is strictly governed by the required electrical properties. The bureau’s facilities for testing the ruggedness of electron tubes now include vibration apparatus, m echancial resonance testers, high- im pact shock m achines, and high speed centrifuges. Som e tests are conducted with typical electrical potentials applied to the tube ele m ents so that noise modulation, short circuits, and other effects can be easily studied. D estructive field conditions c a n be reproduced through the proper choice of vibra tion, im pact, and acceleration tests. Uncle Sam Says Horatio Alger’s favorite theme was: "America is the land of opportunity” and I am sure he would agree to an other important factor—the cornerstone of security In the future is the cultiva tion of sound saving habits.
