W e are living In a world where things go wrong. Regardless of whatever we may undertake in life we may be assured that we shall not rise and climb to success with- out some opposing forces are all a- bout us, and oftentimes things go wrong when we think it should be to the opposite. T his is true of the borne, the church, the school, and all kinds of business, regard less of how honorable and im port, ant it may be. Certainly we should not be engaged in anything th Lt is wrong and expect to come out right. But we can be engaged in the right and go forth to success, even if much of the way we have to move forward In spite of all that goes wrong. No doubt m any people under, take good things, even the service worship of God, and because some, thing goes wrong they throw up their hands and quit. W e know one of the easiest things in the world is toqnit, but it never pays. Success in anything good and great, commendable and worth white, never comes by quitting. Those who succeed in life at anvtbioe worth while absolutely refuse to quit when things go wrong If it should he possible that they have to quit one thing they undertake for God and hum anity they seek out something else and go forward wfth it. There is too much good »0 he done for anv of us to yield to opposing forces and .«• t’le down to grim despair and fate D on’t quit seiving and wor shipping Christ in the home be ause sometimes something goes vrong Hold on and hold out. Read and beed the teaching of the Bible. Pray right on. Keep the tltar fires burning. T rust God to take care of you and see you through. Don’t quit the church uecause everything doesn’t goright. It is the business of the enemy to 'ause something to go wrong, hut our business should be to bold steady, pray and trust God to work things out for our good and His •ilory. He will if we refuse to qnit. Let’s realize that winners never quit and emitters neaer win. ABC Stores Tbe new saloon, commonly known as ABC stores throughout -lie state, having opened np several commodious shops for the sale of liquid fire, embraces the opportun ity of informing the citizens that 'hey have commenced the business of making paupers and beggars for be sober, industrious members of the community to support. They will deal in family spirits which will incite men to deeds of riot, robbing and bloodshed and by so doing diminish the comfort, aug oient the expenses and endanger be welfare of the community. Tbev will, on short uottce, for a mall sum and with great expecta tions, undertake to prepare victims 'or the asylums, poor farms, pns. ons and gallows. Tbev have permission from tbe United States Government and the local state government to demolish ’he character, destroy the health, shorten the lives and ruin the souls of those who choose to honor them vith their custom. There are exactly 29,393 more retailers of liquor than tbe total number of schools, 198 878 plus tbe total number of churches. These dealers have been licensed by our government to sell poison, disgrace, degradation, shame, nrtr- der, death, damnation and hell.

The old man shook his head sad ly and said; “Yer a right nice lookin’ chap, doc, but I’m afeared you ain’t goin’ to do much around here. Why, this town’s so healthy we couldn’t start a cemetery until the other doctor starved to death.” Question of Framing A woman, who had gained con-, siderable notoriety with her forged letters and blackmail schemes, one day received in the mail a legiti mate love letter. She was fairly certain it was authentic but wasn’t quite sure what to do about it. "This really has me baffled,’’ she murmured in a puzzled under tone, “I don’t know whether to frame it—or him.” LEGITIMATE GRIEVANCE “Mommy, why does Aunt Lilly always hate telephones so much?” asked little junior. “You see,” mother replied, "a man proposed m arriage to her over the telephone once and it wasn’t until after she ac cepted that he found out he had the wrong number.” Mistaken ‘End’-entity Tt GOOD MANY .yenrs ago, when * * teachers and not parents did most of the whipping of children, one teacher found herself unable to cope with a hurky youngster. She spoke to the principal about it and he told her to send the boy to him the next time he had to be punished. A day or so later the lad entered the principal’s office. “Miss Weeks sent me down for a spa—” he began. "Yes, I know,” snapped the prin cipal, and with a hand that moved much faster than the eye could follow, had the boy over his Imee and whaling the daylights out of him. “Now what have you got to say?" demanded the principal as he waited for the boy’s sobs to sub side. “All I was going to say,” sobbed me down for a SpcV ish book she we down for a Spanish book die left in your office.” Overlapping Near East and Middle East Baffle Readers Where are the Near East and the Middle East? The U. S. department of state has a division of near eastern affairs and a division of South Asian Af fairs within its Office of Near east ern and African Affairs. It thus, in general, avoids the term Middle East. The United Nations, on the other hand, uses Middle East free ly, as do British and American journalists in referring to much the same region m eant when the term Near East is used. The three Easts—Near, Middle, and Far—came into use as a m at ter of convenience. They have never had an official status, and their boundaries have always been rather vague. They served to break into handier sections the vast, misty East or Orient that had re mained little known since the days of the Roman empire. . Its outlines first began to appear distinctly when Portuguese ex plorers, soon after the discovery of America, sailed around the southern end of Africa, crossed the Indian ocean, pushed into the Pacific, and nosed along the Indo china and China coasts. Those coasts and their hinterlands be came the Far East—far from a Europe which considered itself the center of the world. By way of contrast to “Far East,” writers began to use “Near Ea3t,” referring to the fringe of coimtries along the Asiatic main land nearest to Europe. “Middle Fust” did not come into such com mon use but was employed by ■voine writers in a hazy way to cover parts of the intervening East. The terms Near East and Middle East have never been applied to regions north of the almost con tinuous mountain fall formed by the Caucasus, the mountains of northern Iran (Persia), the Hindu Kush, and the Himalayas. Near East was adopted pretty generally by American writers and geog raphers to apply to Turkey, Syria, Palestine, and sometimes Egypt. In some cases Iraq, the Hashimite Kingdom of the Jordan (formerly Transjordan), and parts of north western Arabia were included. WRONG LINE The honeymooners were so lost in each other on the train that the conductor finally had to tap the young man on the shoulder. “May I have your tickets?” he asked politely. The young man fumbled in his pocket and handed the conductor his m arriage license without look ing at it. The conductor looked at it and smiled. “You certainly got a ticket for a long journey,” he conceded, "but not on this line.” Housewives Should Know About Soaps, Detergents No ode soap or synthetic deter gent is best for all laundering pur poses. Manufacturers are specializing in their products today, making different kinds for different needs. The mild soap, so satisfactory for fine fabrics and so easy on the hands, may not get work clothes as clean as a “general purpose" laundry soap. The product which keeps shirts and sheets so white may fade colored clothes, a n d shrink or harden wools and silks. Soap that washes well in soft water may do a poor job in hard water. A detergent which leaves wool socks and sweaters soft and dean, may be a disappointment when used for cottons. This is why the housewife needs to know more about the different types of soaps and other deter gents. As a guide to buying, it pays to read what the wrapper or package says about the product— whether it is recommended for fine washing, or general launder ing. Both soaps and synthetic deter gents today are of two main types —the built and the unbuilt—wheth er they are bars, flakes, chips, beads or liquid. Unbuilt soaps generally are rec ommended for delicate fabrics. They are almost pure soap, with a little moisture and common salt mixed in, and are best used in soft water. Built soaps, in con trast, are soaps built up with alka line salts, like borax or washing soda, to aid the cleaning action and help soften water. They are for badly soiled cottons, and usual ly are advertised for general laundering. Roof Cement Saves Fuel Roof cement, a product of the paint industry which is used for repairing leaks and cracks in roofs of all descriptions, helps to cut down fuel bills by increasing com bustion efficiency. This is possible because of its fr.culty for adhering to brick and mortar, remaining elastic and expanding or contract^ ing with the surface to which it is attached. It can also be applied to- the brick and concrete settings of boilers, furnaces, kilns, oil stills and all other heating equipment to prevent oil infiltration. Bee Stings On the average, a honey bee ejaculates 0.3 cc. of venom into the tissues when it stings a person. The venom is a clear, colorless fluid, secreted by two glands, one secret ing an acid and the other an alka line fluid. The mixture, in the form ejaculated, is acid to litmus. It exerts three actions: (I) pro duces inflammation, (2) is a con- vulsant, and (3) is a stuoefying and paralyz’ng substance. Due to personal icliosyncracies, the reac tion to bee stings varies in severity. A number of stings may cause some persons no more inconven ience than so many painless pap ules. On the other extreme are per sons who have died in a few min utes from a single sting. . WHERE CREDIT IS DUE He was a difficult customer. One of the two partners in the clothing store had shown him every suit in stock but one, helping him into each one and pointing out the vir tues of each garment. With each suit, he would turn the man around and around in front of the mirror. Finally he despaired of selling the customer anything. Just then his partner stepped up and showed the customer the remaining suit. He bought it immediately. “You see, Sam,” said the suc cessful partner later, “what good salesmanship it takes to sell a tough .customer like that. You no ticed I sold him on the first try?” “Sure,” said: the other, “but who got him dizzy.” , Just to Make Sure When the shipwrecked sailor was quite sure that the tramp steamer really had seen him and was coming in to rescue him he jumped up and down on-the beach with sheer joy. As the boat drew close enough for him to be heard he shouted, "Three long years I’ve lived on this island, alone. Boy, will I be glad to be taken off.” A lifeboat was lowered and an officer was rowed close to shore. Tossing a bundle of newspapers to the ragged and bearded man he called. “Captain’s compliments, sir. Will you read them over ard let me know if you still want to be rescued?” Experts Find New Me?r:cd To Analyze Hay Tever Cccse A series of skin tests to deter mine the potential value of new anti-histamine drugs before they are used on hay fever or allergy patients has been devised by three Northwestern university (Chicago) allergy experts. The investigators applied anti histamine (allergy combating) so lutions to scratches made on the backs at patients. After removing the solutions, the men added his tamine (the chemical liberated in allergy) to the same places. The degree to which the skin ir ritation from histamine is pre vented may indicate the effective ness of various drugs in inhibiting different types of allergy, the Northwestern medical men believe. Dr. Samuel M. Feinberg, asso ciate professor of medicine at the Northwestern University medical school, and Dr. Ellis A. Canter bury and Dr. Harold B. Lovejoy, both graduate students in medi cine, report that the tests are a "simple yet reliable method of ap praising the ^therapeutic action of anti-histamine preparations.” Research undertaken by North western’s medical school some time ago disclosed that one of the m ajor reactions in persons with hay fever or other allergy is sen sitivity and irritation of certain areas of the skin. From this, the three University investigators went on to discover that the prior appli cation of the anti-histamine drug at the place of the histamine appli cation reduces the area and degree of skin sensitivity. Different anti-histamine prepara tions showed varying degrees of success in inhibiting the hista mine. It is known, too, that the same anti-histamine drug has varying success depending upon whether it is administered on the ] skin, as in tests, or taken internal ly for therapeutic reasons. In the latter, action is influenced by metabolic changes and absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. Steel Pierced with Oil A practical method using oil to pierce holes in steel is under experi mentation. A column of oil is substituted for the ordinary m etal pouch. The col umn is struck hard at the top. The oil, confined in all directions and not compressible, is forced to punch through the steel sheet at the bot tom of the column and into the hol low area of the die placed under the sheet. The new method, it is claimed, would considerably re duce costs in various ways. Seen Along M ain Street By The Street Rambler.

Y our Social Security A ccount No. Card is a m atter o f great im portance to us and to you. Y our num ber identifies the record o f all the wages you receive on jobs that com e under the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance program . O n chose wages are based any bene fit that may be payable to vou and your family w hen you are old or in the event of vour death. T o illustrate the im portance of the Social Security Card, let m e cell you about a case we had in our field office recently. A wage •arner was drow ned while on a fishing trip, and he left a widow .ind several children, the oldest of whom was 15 and the youngest I vear of age. A t the tim e of his Jeath he had no private insurance ind left no m oney or property. We sent to o ur Central Offic. for his wage record, but w hen it came it show ed that he evidently hadn’t worked long enough injobscover- ad by Social Security to be insur ed. W e investigated further, and fina Iv found that the wage earner had refused to apply for an ac count num ber w hen he was work ing for a grocerym an w ho had paid him enough wages to estab lish 10 quarters of coverage. T his em ployer had n o t reported the wages, but he was very co-oper .- tive w hen we finally got in touch with him . This em ploym ent gave the wage earner an insured status under the law and the widow now gets $41.72 a m onth on behalf of her four youngest children. O f course, in this case, we were able to clear the m atter up and m ake a paym ent. W e can’t always do this. In m ost cases, the law pre vents us from m aking corrections on a wage earner’s record after 4 years have gone by. A t anv rate, the w orker’s ow n action caused quite a delay in the paym ent of b . nefits due widow and children. N o two wage earners have the same account num ber. T his is the only way to keep a correct re cord of wages ,eported for each individual. W hen you use som e one eise’s card, or get m ore than one card, you are taking a chance on losing the value attached to the insurance policy vou are hold ing w ith Social Security. If you were paving prem ium s on a pol icy w ith a com m eicial insurance com pany, you’d be very careful to see that those prem ium s are cred ited to you and n o t to som e one else.

It was a grand exhibit and was spoiled only by a man who insisted upon getting in amongst the stuffed animals. “ I belong in there,” he insisted. At first they thought he was in toxicated but when he pointed out his argum ent they admitted he had some cause for his actions. His reason for wanting to join the exhibit was a large sign the society had had printed and placed in the window. It read, “We were skinned to provide furs for fashionable women.” Not Always Sonny had read many tairy tales but apparently had never realized until now that most of them began: “Once upon a tim e.” “Do all of them oegin that way?” he asked his mother. “Why, no,” she replied, “some tim es you hear a telephone ring and when you answer it you hear a voice say, ‘Sorry, dear, but the boss called a surprise meeting at the last minute.’ ” O a l y O u f f d M a k e s P i i z e IfotEolls l i k e t h e s e j \ / “ Lighter, fluffier rolls, crisper crusted, fresher keeping, richer tasting... yes, Duff’s Hot Roll Mix gives Prize results.

TltHHl HOUSEHOLD M t M OS... IuJun Hece are Easily Made Appetizers! (See Recipes Below) Appetizing Tricks W HAT’S MORE PUN before a dinner party than an attrac tive tray of appetizers to help the conversation to a smooth start? Some hostesses like to prepare these tidbits before guests arrive so they’ll have a few minutes be fore dinner be gins to spend the time with t h e i r company; others have the fixings handy so folks can make their own. N o m a t t e r h o w s i m p le these tidbits are, they can be most attractive, and easily made if you keep a well stocked canned foods shelf. Serve with them some heated or chilled tomato juice or ice cold pineapple juice, and you’ll be giving your friends a really royal welcome. Many of the items pictured on the tray above can be made ahead of time and kept chilled until a few moments before guests arrive. Some will require broiling just be fore serving, so allow a few min utes for this. Olives: Spear tiny cubes of sharp cheese with toothpicks and top with stuffed olives. Place these into a large grapefruit as a cen terpiece for your tray, if desired. Here are other ways with olives: wrap stuffed olives in half slices of bacon and broil until bacon is crisp. Or, spread olives with dev iled ham, roll in minced parsley and pierce each with a toothpick. Serve with a bowl of ripe olives, just as they are, with other ap petizers. • * • ■POAST IS THE BASIS for many ^ delicious canapes that are to be served hot. These may be pre pared in advance, then popped into the oven a few minutes before serving. Toasted Ham Canapes (Makes 15-20) I cup ground boiled ham tA cup grated cheese Yi teaspoon horseradish Yi teaspoon prepared mus tard Yi cnp condensed tomato soup S slices bread, toasted Mix first five ingredients to gether. Toast bread, trim off crusts and cut each slice into three or four strips. Spread with ham mixture, fhen toast under broiler until browned. * * * IF YOU PLAN to wait an hour or so before serving dinner, choose somewhat larger canapes to fill your guests. For such an occasion, rolls, tiny but of course somewhat larger than toast pieces, are ideal: Crisp Roll-Ups (Serves 8) 4 long crisp rolls I cnp minced, cooked chick en 6 tablespoons India relish 4 drops Worcestershire sance 3 tablespoons salad dressing Yx teaspoon grated onion i i teaspoon salt 8 stuffed olives, sliced Cut off ends two inches long from the rolls. Remove soft center from ends and fill hollow with mixture of remaining ingredients. Slice the stuffed olive and place on each cup. Serve with toothpicks. These rolls may also be filled with egg salad. LTNN SAYS: Leftover Fruits, Juices Have Many Uses To get a beautiful glaze for fruit tarts such as cherry and straw berry, use leftover apricot juice. Boil down I cup of the juice with I % cups of sugar until thick. Spoon over tarts while still warm. Combinations of several fruit juices many be used successfully for glazing and flavoring baked ham. Use any of the following: cherry, cranberry, peach apricot, pineapple, pear or apple.

New York Plans Street Cwveyor In limes Square NEW YORK, N. Y. — In the Times square or Loop of the fu ture, people may be transported like so many cans of soup in a factory. Escalators will carry them be low ground and down there they will be moved around by vast con veyor systems. On the street level, the city of th£ future may even have moving sidewalks. Underground conveyor lines to handle both human and freight traffic would be a good idea right now for many cities, says Harold Von Thaden, vice-president of the conveyor firm. He described his ideas at a recent national meeting of engineers. Truck traffic alone in some busy downtown areas, he says, could be reduced at least 25% by moving goods below the streets. The utility of transporting hu m ans would be even greater. More people, he says, could cover short distances underground with less wear and tear, less conges tion, and no waiting. The con veyors would never have to stop to take on or discharge pas sengers. There would be no problem in moving the people safely by con veyor. The only problem would be to get them on and off without killing m ore than you transport. This, Von Thaden believes, could easily be solved by having, say, three parallel conveyor lines of varying speeds—three miles an hour, six miles an hour and nine miles an hour. (Three miles is a normal walking speed.) The passenger standing on a fixed platform would board the three mile an hour conveyor. Then he could move over to six miles an hour lane and finally to nine miles an hour. Getting off, he would use the same gradual stages. Of course, there will always be some sm art alecks who’ll go first for the top speed, Maybe the more agile ones, Von Thaden says, could make it, but women, chil dren and old folks would have to start with the slow lane. “You could erect seats on the conveyors or have the passengers stand,” Von Thaden says. “In either case, you’d need hand rails so people wouldn’t fall off. “These speeds I mentioned may not sound like much but they are fast when you consider there would be no waiting for transpor tation, no crowds jamming the platform. The * conveyors would always be moving. People could get off wherever they like, pro viding you have enough term i nals.” Von Thaden thinks such trans portation would be especially good for short strategic distances. It could do better, he thinks, than the shuttle subway now con necting Times square and Grand Central railroad term inal in New York. It might also be used to connect stations in Philadelphia, Boston and could loop the Loop in I Chicago.

Ever since they wen babies, they've used Musterole to promptly relieve coughs and local congestion of colds. Be sure your kid dies enjoy Musterole’s great benefits! H a d a co l is H e lp f u l t o F olks o f A ll A g e G ro u p s Countless thousands have proved that HADACOL is beneficial to folks »f all ages. For instance, Miss Ethel Guidry, 822 Montgomery SL, Port Nechesl Texas, only 17 years old, was “feel ing nervous, had l i t t l e appetite, her face was pale and drawn and she suffered from gas on the stom ach.” Miss Guidry says she could not eat the kind and type of food she wanted with out feeling ter rible afterwards. Miss Guidry Miss Guidry, who recently gradu ated from high school, is already working in a bank. She said that after taking several bottles of HADACOL she is now “feeling wonderful,” and has “lots of pep and energy.”Most folks take HADACOL be cause it has worked such wonders for relatives or friends. Miss Guidry took HADACOL because her mother had taken 12 bottles with excellent results.In nearby Port Arthur, Texas, Mrs. W. M. Thompson took HADA- COL '•ec-r-e it had done her hus band so m uch good. That is the reason so many p u rc h a s e the la r g e economy size bottle so all the fa m ily can benefit from na ture's Vitamins and Minerals In HADACOL. M rs. Thomp- Mrs. Thompson son's n o rm a l weight is 136 pounds, but she was down to 110 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 Mrs. Thompson. She had tried several preparations before taking her husband’s advice on HADACOL and now she enthusiastically recommends HADACOL to her friends. She, too, like Miss Guidry and file others, was suffering from the lack of the B Vitamins and Minerals in her system which HADACOL con tains. 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 burns, 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 constipation. 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 Min erals contained in HADACOL. And if you suffer from such a disorder, there is no medicine, drug or treat ment that will cure you except the administration of the Vitamins and Minerals which your system lacks. HADACOL contains not only one, but five of the B Vitamins. HADA COL contains not only one, but four of the necessary Minerals. It comes to you in liquid form, easily assimi lated in the blood stream so that it can go to work right away. Yoo cannot be satisfied with just temporary relief. HADACOL attacks and cures the source of such deficiency diseases. It is easy to understand, therefore, why countless thousands have al ready been benefited by this amaz ing tonic, HADACOL. Accept no substitute—insist on the genuine 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 suf fering! 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. We are so firm in our belief that HADACOL will help you that we sell HADACOL on a money-back guarantee. If you don’t feel' perfectly satisfied after using HADACOL ias directed, just return the empty car ton and your money trill be cheer fully refunded. Nothing could be fairer. Sold at all the 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 have HADACOL, order direct from The LeBIanc Corporation, Lafayette, Louisiana. Send no money. Just your name and address on a penny post card. Pay postman.

President T rum an hints that he will be a candidate for president in 1952. T hat isn’t news. W e have know n it since Novem ber 6th, 1948. W ho said Dem ocrats didn’t w ant office? It we are n o t m is taken, eight Dem ocrats have al ready filed for sheriff in Catawba C ounty, with the prim ary nearly three m onths ahead. W e are living in a wonderful country. O ur G overnm ent pays the farm er $2.50 per hundred lbs. for his Irish potatoes and sells them back to the said farm er at one cent per hundred pounds. T he wine and beer election that was scheduled to be held M arch 25th in Davie Countv, has again been postponed on account of som e legal technicality, it is said. W e understand that the election date will be on Sept. 2nd, if the date is not changed again. W e think the third tip will be out. Every Republica i in Davie is urged to attend the Republican county convention at the court house in Mocksville next Satur day- afternoon at 3 o’clock. If the Republicans hope to rem ain in pow er in Davie County they will have to wake up and go to work. ‘ Vigilence is the price of liberty.” W e understand that there wil be three or four candidates in the field for sheriff on the Republican ticket, and perhaps two or three candidates for clerk of court. It is said that Cooleemee wants B. C. Brock to file for representative. So for as we can hear over the grapeline radio, the Dem ocrats in Davie are sawing , wood and say ing nothing. T he nam e of one well-known Dem ocrat has been m entioned for sheriff, but he de' nied the charge and dem ands that w e furnish proof. Fashion Show O n last Thursday evening the second floor o f Sanford’s D epart m ent Store was the scene of a lovely spring fashion show. R. B. Sanford, I r., welcomed the large num ber of guests who had assem bled, and M rs. Roy H olthouser described the dresses, suits, top pers, hats and accessories w orn by the m odels.

A t the close of the showing, refreshm ents were served those present. A Busy Place O ne of the busiest places we have visited recently is the M oon- leigh C arm ent Co., on W ilkesboro Street. M r.

T he com pany employs nearly 50 w om en, and the plant operates 40 hours per week. T he Record is glad that this plant is m aking good. M r. and M rs. W . H. H oots, Jr., •pent Saturday in Hickory. They will m ove to that city as soon as they can find living quarters. Mr. H oots holds a position w ith Brad- street’s. T he N orth Carolina A ttorney General, in response to inquiry of the Board o f Elections of Davie County, advised by letter dated Feb. 16th, that serious doubt ex ists as to the right of the Board of Elections of Davie C ounty to rati fy the order of the Chairm an changing the date of the special election on the question o f the le gal sales of beer and w ine from Feb. 18, 1950, to M arch 25, 1950, and having suggested the advisa bility o f having the Board fix a new date “which w ould give suf ficient tim e to m eet the necessary advertising and period o f regis tration.” Be it therefore resolved by the Board of Davie County, that th e ' order calling for said special elec-! tion to be held on Feb. 18, 1950.1 as entered in the m inutes of Jan .| 9. 1950. and all subsequent reso-; lutions and orders affecting th e 1 sam e be, and they are hereby re scinded. O n m otion of G. G. Daniel, se conded by M. E. Glasscock, it was ordered that the special election on the question of legal sales of beer and w ine in Davie County be w ithheld until after the pri mary of May 27, 1950. M . E. GLASSCOCK, Secy.

The Republican is Adm. Lewis Strauss, onetime secretary to Her bert Hoover and a member of the Wall street firm of Kuhn, Loeb. It was Strauss who vigorously op posed Lilienthal inside the commis sion regarding the hydrogen bomb —Strauss being for the new bomb, Lilienthal being against it. Feeling between the two men has been strained, and the President — instead of siding with his old Democratic friend, Lilienthal—has backed np Re publican Strauss regarding the H-bomb, and now is even con sidering him for chairman. Strauss, however, believes the chairman should be a Democrat; also says he expects to resign from government. This means that Tru man will have three atomic vacan cies to fill—Lilienthal's, Strauss’s, and Sumner Pike’s, also a Repub lican. One reason for Truman’s sudden coolness toward Lilienthal has been the fear that his negative ideas on the hydrogen bomb would be picked up by Moscow and used as a phony peace offensive. That was why Tru man was so opposed to Lilienthal’s idea of going to Moscow to try to make a deal with the Russians. Truman feels, as the result of many attempted agreements with Moscow, that any confer ence of this kind would be as profitable as a Missouri hound dog baying at the moon. Already, the White House has noted, the Russians have started a new and phony peace offensive. On January 20, at the very same time Moscow had initiated a new block ade in Germany, Prof Eursalim- sky put out the following peace overtures on the Moscow radio: “Comrade Stalin pointed out that peaceful cooperation between the capitalist world and the Soviet Union remains in force and the possibility of peace cooperation does not only not diminish, but can even increase. The proposal to conclude a pact of peace between the U.S.S.R. and the United States, as well as the proposal of a pact of the five great powers for the strengthening of peace are fresh and convincing evidence of the peace-loving foreign policy of the U.S.S.R. “In its international policy the U.S.S.R. is guided by the principle of the possibility of the lasting co existence of two opposite systems —the socialist and capitalist sys tems. The whole of the foreign pol icy of the U.S.S.R. bears testimony to the fact that the U.S.S.R. is un swervingly acting as the partisan of peaceful relations with all those countries which in their turn de sire to cooperate for the best of the world.” lOIeo1 Oscar Thg day after he was unanimous ly confirmed by the senate, Oscar Chapman, the popular new secre tary of the interior, got some good- natured ribbing at the cabinet meet ing. Asked President Truman quizzi cally : “How does it happen you got through so easily? I understand even Republicans made speeches praising you.” Replied Chapman: “A v e r y simple explanation, Mr. President. The senate passed the oleo bill just before it took up my nomina tion. OIeo greased the way.” Formosa Row Fizzles Three extra Republicans, look ing for fresh ammunition to attack Truman’s policy on Formosa, showed up at the closed-door ses sion of the senate foregin relations committee. However, they went • away empty-handed. The GOP bat tle cry to save Formosa petered out like a hoarse Hallowe’en horn. As the senators settled in tbeir chairs for the meeting with Secretary of Defense John son and Chief of Staff Bradley. Wisconsin’s jovial Sen. Alex Wiley tried to relieve the ten sion by pointing to a badge en his lapel with the initials “T.T. P.” “Do you know what those initials mean?” he asked the secretary of defense. Johnson shook his head, so Wiiey boomed hilariously: “They” stand for tired tax payer, and I sure am one.” Johnson then read a 10-minute opening statement, after which the senators began machine-gunning. Most of the quizzing was done by three Republicans—Alex Smith of New Jersey, Bourke Hickenlooper of Iowa, and Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts. The three extra Republicans, not members of the committee, were Bill Knowland of California, Leverett SaItonstall of Massachusetts, and Ed Thye of Minnesota. They asked no questions, except for Knowland who scribbled queries for Hickenlooper to ask Johnson and Bradley. -WlCKLY NEWS ANALYSIS- British Laborites Face Major Test; Lewis, Miners Clash With Old Foe; U.S. to Continue Egg-Price Support (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions Mo expressed In these columns, they are those of Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) BRITAIN: Warning Sounded The pledge of Anthony Eden, British deputy Conservative lead er, who, with Winston Churchill and other party big-wigs in today’s election, is hoping to overthrow the Labor party, that the Conser vatives will work with all nations for peace, might have m eant more than it indicated. EDEN, being the astute world diplomat that he is, must know that there are elements in many places, particularly the United States, who feel that there must be no further support of power for the Labor party in England. With the Laborites’ position often regarded as the fostering of socialism, the more conservative people everywhere fear it. It has been an amazing thing to most stu dents o t world history how the British, traditionally . jealous of their liberties, ever permitted the Imposition of this kind of govern ment upon them. A reduction of the answer to fundamentals might explain that it came about only through the economic distress of the once proud and mighty empire. IT IS APPARENTLY assured that whatever the outcome, the I^bor party faces its severest test in today’s election. Eden warned, in the first broad cast of a Conservative speech in the just-ended campaign, that the ’’United Nations is at its lowest ebb, the democracies are forced to pay dearly for armaments, and the nightmare of communism stalks through Asia.” He made a telling point in recalling that the Labor party in 1945 declared that if it were returned to power, it could get along with the Russians because of its Socialist ideology— and how the world situation had gone from bad to worse since then. OPPOSITION SPEAKER Labor- ite Fuel Minister Hugh Gaitskill, had told an audience at Leeds that the cost of socialism was high in Britain, and would remain high, but declared the cost worthwhile because under the Labor govern m ent acute poverty has really been abolished.” That was a debatable point about which the argument continued while Britain voted. EGG PRICES: No Humpty Dumpty The American egg situation had no chance to rival the nursery Humpty Dumpty story, inasmuch as federal price supports were fixed so that no such fall as occured to the nursery-rhyme egg could hap pen to this modern counterpart. THE GOVERNMENT, which al ready owns some 100 million dol lars worth of eggs intended to keep on buying them through March of this year. The idea was to support the price at an average of 25 cents a dozen on the farm. The government’s policy was quaintly stated by one federal of ficial who summed it up with: “The hens are laying their tool heads off.” The farm price of 25 cents a dozen was about 75 per cent of parity, a level calculated to be equally fair to producers and con sumers. Producers of dried eggs, the statem ent said, would continue to get about 95 cents a pound. Most of the eggs the government buys are dried. In the past two years it has accumulated about 73 million pounds of these eggs, most at a price of $1.26 a pound. Some are stored ‘in a cool cave near Atchinson, Kansas. The rest are in warehouses in other sections of the country. THE QUESTION of what to do with them has become the major problem. The law permits the de partm ent of agriculture to give them away if they are kept out of commercial, competitive channels This restricts them to welfare pur poses and similar uses. TAXATION: Get 'Em AU The treasury of the United States wants to put the tax bite on a lot of organizations which are not now paying any income tax on the op eration of unrelated businesses. The treasury made a request to congress that this be done, assert ing that some labor unions, busi ness leagues, social clubs and char itable and educational organiza tions were getting away with non payment of tax that the treasury insists should be paid. Vance N. Kirby, the treasury’s tax-legislative counsel, made it clear, however, that the adminis tration tax program did not con template such tax treatm ent of religious bodies, except as they might be affected in the operation of educational institutions. He said the proposals would ap ply to labor unions, business leagues and social clubs. He also emphasized that the tax recommendation was concerned only with “business income whiph is not incident or related to the exempt purpose.” Thundering Again ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ I - * Like a stuck Victrola record or an old movie constantly re- showing, John L. Lewis, mine union czar, was in the news again, this time with another coal strike on the boards. Lewis gestures as he appears before the conference table during contract renewal talks which broke down. PITMEN: An Old Foe An old and hated enemy was again at grips with John L. Lewis and his United Mine workers. After a delay which brought him sharp criticism, President Harry Truman had turned to the device he declares he hates in order to bring order out of the coal strike chaos. THERE WERE MANY who had begun to wonder if Mr. Truman— known for the stubbornness he em ploys when balked—ever would re sort to the T-H law to resolve the mine deadlock. Now that he has, it would cause much delight in the ranks of the political opposition. The T-H law, however regarded, has been used several times in na tional emergencies with an effect that gives it a real cause for be ing, whether anyone likes it or not. The miners, however, showed defiance. They still chanted the old traditional refrain: “No contract —no work.” And it looked like a contract agreement was far off as the President named a three-mem ber board of inquiry who would at tem pt to restore peace in the troubled situation. TO THE BOARD, President Tru man named David L. Cole, Patter son, N .J., attorney who headed a similar board ‘in 1948 that settled a bitter contract row between Lewis and the operators: John Dunlop, Harvard university busi ness school, and a veteran in labor management relations; and W. Willard Wirtz, Northwestern uni versity law professor and former chairman of the wage stabilization board. Theirs would be the difficult job, because John L. Lewis was a diffi cult man to deal with. He might be even more difficult since his three- day work week had reduced the nation’s coal stockpile to • a two- week supply at the time of the strike. RED H-BOMB: Terrific Echo There was a sudden and dramatic interruption in all the talk about the hydrogen—or H-bomb. Just as everyone was pondering the fate of a world on which the monstrous weapon might be loosed, along came a report that the Russians already had it. .. The reporter was an Englishman, a Mr. de Courcy, who claimed that he had secret sources inside the iron curtain which told him what ever was going on. THE CLAIM was a bit rugged for the average American to ac cept, inasmuch as there was still no actual proof the Reds ever had the atomic bomb. Still, it was a nice, frightening topic of talk, and discussion was rather widespread. Naturally, the first impulse was a great rushing to revamp all At lantic defense plans and, perhaps more naturally, to talk of greater U. S. outlay of arm s for herself and the pact nations. Amid all the excitement ran an undercurrent of spy thrills and na tional menace with the disclosure that a German physicist, who had worked with the British in de veloping the A-bomb, had given secret information concerning that weapon to the Russians. Good Omen? As jitters mounted over reported leaks and treasonable acts con cerning the secrets of the hydrogen bomb, apprehensive officials and citizens were further disturbed by reports that a former clerk in the French consulate at Stettin, Poland, had confessed he had led an espion age network that obtained informa tion on British m ilitary move ments. He was identifed as Andre Simon Robineau. THE <?• /•ffv %Inlemationol Uniform Sundev School Lesaons By PR KEHHZTH J FOHEHAH SCRIPTURE: Acta 19:1—20:16;_ Eph-esians 4:17-32, _ _ , .DUVO'IIONAI. READING: Isaiah 55:£.13. BaseofOperations Lesson for March 5, 1950 THERE IS NO RULE in the Bible forbidding Christians to have common sense. You are not sup posed to lay aside your mind when you become a Christian. This has had many illustrations: let us take Ephesus for one. Put yourself, in imagination, back to the first Christian century. Ask your self: Where can we start a church where it will do t h e most good? Where can we put a church that will spread o u t, one that is sure to have d a u g h te r - _ churches? W h e re can we reach people of in fluence? Where can we locate a church where it is certain to be heard of? As your eye ranged over a map of the Empire, you would have lighted on Ephesus as the very place. It was a true capital, not a merely political one.• » * Strategy IT was a master-stroke, selecting Ephesus as a base of operations. It made possible the rapid spread of ihe Christian faith into the prov ince of Asia. The decision to plant a church there had been matched by other strategic decisions in Christian history since then. One of these was founding the church in Rome. That was an even greater city and capital than Ephesus, and it has lasted much longer. If the Christian church had been content to be provincial, all right for the smaller towns but afraid to tackle the big ones, if the early church had feared to seat itself in Rome, the whole history of Europe would have been different. When the Roman Empire crumb led, as in time it did, the church rose on its ruins and took its place as the great civilizer of Europe, the strong force that kept a con tinent from decay for nearly a thousand years.* • Our A ncestors FROM THE DAYS of the early Roman church there comes a well-known story which may be true. In the slave m arket at Rome the Pope saw some handsome small boys, whiter than the aver age Roman, for sale. Who are you? he asked. “Angli,” they said—Ang les, from far-off marshes along the North Sea. No, smiled the Pope, who was a bit of a punster, you are too good looking for that; “Non Angli sed Angeli,” not Angles but Angels. Anyway, the church did send some missionaries to far-away Anglia and elsewhere in Northern Europe. It turned out to be another strategic base of operations. Even tually France and Germany and England and the other countries in that part of the world were con verted to Christianity. The time came when those very nations took the lead in moving into the rest of the world, into the western hemis phere, “down under” to Aus tralia, even into Africa. Where they went, they carried their relig ion with them. Suppose the church had not thought our ancestors worth converting? Suppose all the colonizing movements of the 16th and Allowing centuries had been waves of sheer pa gans? It is not mere racial pride to say that the sending of missionaries to those savage peoples of northern Europe was one of the most stra tegic moves ever made by the Christian church. « * * And Today? THE CHURCH has not ‘ always been sm art. Sometimes we have missed the boat. There have been strategic centers w e. might have occupied—and did not. There was a time, for instance, when Russia, that mighty nation, was open to Christian teaching. Many who knew that country were saying about 1918 that it was pos sible to capture that land for Christ. But the Christian church was little interested . . . and now whatever Christianity is there has to stay underground. Farther east, our own Gen eral MacArthur has been call ing for missionaries to Japan, thousands of them. Japan is wide open to Gospel today as never before. But where are the missionaries? Going over in driblets. Whenever Christianity has seen a strategic point and taken it, fu ture generations have been blessed; whenever we miss our chance, fu ture generations will wonder how we could have been so blind.

BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET A t t a c k o f A m n e s i a T r a n s f o r m s Milquetoast Into Roost Ruler ■ 8y BILLY ROSE- The other day I picked up the telephone to call Eleanor, and it was almost half a m inute before I could rem em ber my num ber at home. At the time, this memory lapse didn’t seem w orth brooding about, but last night I happened to m eet up with a w ell-known psychiatrist at the Stork Club, and over a jigger of ginger-beer I told him w hat had hap pened. “It was probably a mild attack of am nesia,” he said. “As a rule, the victims are folks who, consciously or unconsciously, want to escape from their routine chores, and every now and then their minds blank out as a protest against doing the same old things the same old way.” “What kind of pills should I take?” “Fun pills,” said the mind-med- lco. “Buy yourself a sailboat, take, up skeet-syooting. or get a set of ........................ water colors and learn how to paint.”“And supposing I don’t?” “Chances a r e nothing will hap pen except that you’ll forget a few more phone inumbers. On the ,other hand, there’s always the possibility that *he spells may get longer and more !frequent. That’s what happened ,not long ago to a good friend of yours.” Billy Kose JERRY—and I’m sure you know the Jerry I mean—used to be one Cf Broadway’s leading juveniles and stay-up lates. Five years ago, as you know, he put away his hair- Ioil and got a job producing radio ahows. And not long after, he mar- jied the daughter of a network executive, bought a home in Scars- dale and decided to settle down. "Well, as often happens when a girl bos too much dowry, bis wifs did most of the settling for him. She made him exchange bis friends for hers, his fun for hers and his life for hers. And within a year, the man who used to be a gay old dog became all dog — Westchester version of Caspar Milqncloast. “After two years of being yam m ered at by his missus, Jerry cam e in to see me one day and said that he was having trouble with his memory—that it was blacking out on him now and then. I asked him some questions about his home life, and when he told me what it was like I advised him to stand up to his wife, and if neces sary, slap her down occasionally. He told me, quite seriously, she wouldn’t stand for such a thing. “One morning several months later, he cam e to my office, and told m e quite a tale. It seems that on his way home the night before he had had an attack of amnesia, and when he cam e to 15 hours later he .was in a New York hotel room, with no idea of what had happened in between. “I phoned his wife, and from her story, managed to put the pieces together. Jerry’s memory had snapped as he got to the door of his house in Scarsdale—perhaps in protest against the stuffy people his wife had invited to dinner and all he knew was that he was standing on a strange stoop.• * » hAFRAID TO RING the bell, he sneaked into the back yard, found T o O n e In Sorrow LET me come in where you are weeping, friend, And let me take your hr— I. I, who have known a sorrow such as yours, Can understand. Let m e come in— I w ould be very Still Beside you in your grief; I w ould not bid you cease your weeping, friend, Tears bring relief. Let me come in— I would only breathe a prayer, And hold your hand, For I have known a sorrow such as yours, And understand. GRACE NOLL CROWELL an open window, hoisted himself through, then recognizing nothing, stopped to puzzle out the situation. Who was he? What sort of man would climb through the window of a strange house? Only a burg lar, of course. Ergo, he must be a burglar. And so he tiptoed up stairs, entered his wife’s bedroom and began stuffing her jewelry into his pockets. The Fiction NARROW ESCAPE . By Richard H. Wilkinson Corner Minute Fiction «tUD’S ONLY going to be here J a couple of weeks,” Connie said. “And after all, he’s my !brother Tom’s guest and it’s up to me to help entertain him. You !understand, don’t you, M arc?” “Sure,” said Marc, not looking iat her, “sure, I understand. You Igo ahead and be nice to him, Con nie. I understand all right.” Which was true, bitterly true. Marc had begun to understand two days after Jud M o r r is o n had landed at t h e Norberts’ for a fortnight’s v is it. Jud was big and handsome and had a way with him. In college he had been quite a rage. Tom Norbert, his roommate, (had raved about him before he ar rived, but even Connie hadn’t ex pected such a splendid specimen of manhood as Jud proved to be. A roadster stopped before the [house and Jud came bounding up ’the walk. “Hi, Connie,” he grinned. “AU set for our round of golf?” Then he saw Marc standing on the porch beside Connie. “HeUo there, lMarc. How about joining us?” Marc smiled and shook his head. “Thanks,” he said. “I’ve got a ten nis date. See. you two tonight.” If, he reflected, he could only get Jud out of his clement perhaps the college h e ’ro wouldn’t show up so well. Several nights later at the coun- i try club dance Marc got Connie alone and suggested a fishing trip for the next day. " W e c a n take ,Jud along,” he explained. “It’ll ;be something new in his exper ience and probably he’ll get a bang out of it.” Connie, who liked fishing herself, thought it was a grand idea. And so the three of them drove up to Beaver Lake the next day. “And, besides, I’m satisfied with' the m an I have—a man who’s big enough to be kind to a man like Jud Morrison.” In the afternoon they put on their waders and fished. Connie elected to show Jud how ,to rig his line and cast, and watch- •ing Siem Marc knew a feeling of !frustration. He had planned to somehow get Jud to follow him into (the rapids where the going was !treacherous and where only one I experienced in such things could ^navigate without losing his foot hold. He had a vague idea of res cuing Jud from the swirling tor rents, thereby establishing Jud’s weakness In Connie’s mind and his own prowess. SUDDENLY HE KNEW that he was helpless. There was noth ing he could do about the thing that was happening between Jud and Connie. The feeling that he had toward Jud was not one of condemnation, but envy. If Jud were trying to steal Connie away, he was doing so unwittingly. Any one but a fool could tell he wasn’t aware of any understanding exist ing between the girl and Marc. And so Marc abandoned his scheme for revenge. They returned home the next day, and the day after that Marc made a business trip to Belknap. When he got back, Judson Morrison was gone. Marc didn’t call Connie. To morrow or the day after he was leaving on a month’s journey up state. He didn’t want to see Connie before he left. It would hurt too much. But he did see her. Connie came over that night and found him sitting alone on the porch. “Hello,” she said, “where in the world have you been?” “Away on business. Unexpected.” “Well, I should think so.” She came close to him and sat down. “Jud left this morning. He asked me to say goodbye to you.” “Jud’s a good egg,” Marc said. “Too good,” said Connie. "Good ness, I’d hate to be married to a man like that.” • “You would?” said Marc, aston ished, “why?" “Why?” Why, because—I would He’s too self-sufficient.” S he laughed. “And besides, I’m satis- ,fied with the man I have—a man who’s big enough to be kind to a man like Jud Morrison.” Abruptly he laughed, and when, puzzled, she asked him what was funny, he shook his head. “There’s nothing really funny,” he said. “I was just thinking about a close call I once had—how near I came to making a fool of myself —and what a relief it is to know I escaped.” ACROSS I.

But Jerry, the bttrglar, instead of melting into the carpet, belted her one right m jhe teeth. “That’s all there was to it. Some how, he got back to New York, checked in at a hotel, and when he woke up hi3 amnesia was gone.” “Did you tell his wife that her husband wasn’t himself when he clipped her on the chin?” I asked. The psychiatrist smiled. “Of course not, and what’s more, I ad vised my patient to keep mum. Je rry . went home to a big recon ciliation scene—the old ‘worm- tum s’ story — and ever since, the more spine he has shown the more supine his wife has become. “I went out to his house for a poker session recently, and the only time she came in the room was when she brought in the drinks. To date, there have been no recur rences of amnesia, and it’s my belief that if Jerry doesn’t take any more nonsense from his wife, there won’t be.” "Are you suggesting I go borne and hang a shiner on Eleanor's eye?" I asked. “In your case,” said the psychia trist, “I doubt if it’s necessary.

For 10 years, during which he had made but one firm a year, Mr. Colman had held off, and Benita backed him up. IM HMMM RONALD COLMAN Then Jack Benny talked them in- to doing a guest shot on his pro gram, and other such appearances followed. Finally along came Don Quinn, who years ago had brought Fibber McGee and Molly to toe air.

Workers, farmers, and businessmen from Maine to California know this. The answer is in the Report of Uie Commission on the Organization of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government. This twelve-man, bi partisan Commission was unanimously created by Congress with the approval of the President. At the suggestion of Mr. Truman, former President Hoover was made its Chairman and Secretary of State Dean Acheson, Vice Chairman. The late president Franklin D. Roosevelt long had ad vocated such a reorganization of the government. There is a two-fold purpose behind the effort to reorganize the Executive Branch of the Government: One—the elimination of the inefficiency caused by overlapping and duplication; two— this should lead to a reduction of your taxes. If our Government can save from three to four billion dollars a year by more efficient methods of con* ducting our business, failure to act is stupid short-sightedness. Action, however, depends upon the President and Congress. The Presi dent has already submitted a number of reorganization recommendations. The Congress has adopted several of these, most important having to do with the housekeeping of the armed forces, which save the taxpayer more than $500,000,00(1 a year. But these are only Hrst step> There will be more ahead if Congress is made to realize Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer want more tax-saving economies. Congress men and Senators wj;l vote for just so many of the Comni'--ion's recommen dations as you. their constituents, demand. What can you, as an individual, do about it? The answer is to write youi Congressman and Senators. Tell them you want the Recommendations of the Commission on the Organization of the Executive Branch of the Federal Governnu-nt made the law of the land- Join the non-partisan Citizens Com mittee set up to obtain the necessary action to make the Commission's report work.

U.S. Treaauty Depertmam Famous Zoo In Washington Painted, Scraped, Scrubbed The zoo in the nation’s capital, known to children and adults the entire country over, would be a jumble of rusting cages and* decay ing buildings if it were not for con stant upkeep and painting by order of its Director, Dr. William M Mann. “The zoo,” he says, “is like a ship. It’s scraped and painted and scrubbed all the time. We rise about $1500 worth of paint and al lied products every year—and that can hardly be called an expense because it saves thousands In de preciation.” The famous zoo, which has 8,000 animals, birds and reptiles to house, hires one man whose sole job is painting. Benches, guard rails, cages, sheds, inside offices, work rooms, animal houses, con crete floors, watch boxes and gates —all get their paint-protection. Zoo painting is not done solely to fore stall rust and decay, however. Backgrounds are painted Io set off the animals to best advantage. Even if it’s just a plain wall or the bars of the cage, a color is carefully selected for its appear ance as well as its durability. During the depression, young ar tists were ‘employed by the WPA to make the zoo more colorful. They painted backgrounds which pictured animals in their native habitats—whether they were Afri ca, South America or the "North Pole. Mountains, clouds, se a , swamps and woods were all por trayed in lovely colors. Artists were so earnest and enthusiastic that — even though they had to pay for the paint themselves on their low salaries—they selected mily the best. Thus far the painted backgrounds have withstood the wear and tear of time and rough treatment. The reptile and bird houses have stood up especially well. Snakes crawl beside the edges of green-swamps and birds spread wings against a sky forever blue. "Reptiles, in par ticular, leave their backgrounds unscathed,” Dr. Mann says. "But hippos, elephants and giraffes show iess artistic appreciation. They’re all for using a sacred Indian tem ple or the River Nile for a good back-scratch.” Science Seeks New Sites For Cosmic Ray Research To the sport and the glory of scal ing the high peaks, modem science has added a new purpose—the es tablishment of sites for cosmic ray research. A survey headed by Brad ford Washburn, Boston scientist, is under way to check the feasibility of such a permanent station on Alas ka’s Mount McKinley, the highest point of North America. Since cosmic rays are best ob served in rarefied altitudes, stud ies of the bombardment of the earth by this mysterious force are often made from aircraft and bal loons, notes the National Geograph ic society. The society, in fact, is cooperating in upper-air investiga tions of cosmic ray secrets over a Canadian outpost settlement on Hudson Bay. Various ground stations, too, have been established for such re search on tall mountains in the United States and abroad. Mount McKinley, however, with a maxi mum reach in its South peak of 20,257 feet, would offer the world’s highest fixed vantage point to date. The. Alaska monarch is a two- headed giant. Rising in Mount Mc Kinley national park, north of Anchorage, it has a secondary North peak that is more than 19,000 feet up. Early Indian tribesmen called the mountain “The Great One” and "Home of the Sun.” Russian traders in Alaska once spoke Cf it as the “Big Mountain.” JBut it was not until 1896 that Mount McKinley was given its present name. Estimating Painting Needs You estimate the amount of paint gallon age required for the walls of a room by multiplying the length of the room by the height . . . and doubling the total (for the two walls.) Then you learn the area, of the other two walls by multiplying the width of the room by the height, then doubling the total. The two totals, added together, give von the number of square feet in all four walls. This figure, divided by the number of square feet covered by a gallon, will give you the quantity you need for one coat. A gallon of flat oil paint will cover approxi mately 630 square feet; casein and emulsion paints, about 540. A win dow or door area is not deducted unless it is greater than 100 square feet in size. OI Course Not SLAVsn Teacher’s Helper TNSTEAD of bringing the teacher • an apple every day, little Nick, the baker’s son, gave her a pretzel. She always thanked him very much but one day said: “These pretzels are very good but I wish you would tell your father that they are a little too salty for me.” Every day after that the pretzel prepared on her desk minus the salt. She began to think that may be she was putting the boy’s father to too much trouble in making them without salt especially for her. "I hope your father doesn’t go to any great trouble in preparing these pretzels without salt,” she said. "Aw, he doesn’t make ’em with out salt,” the little fellow assured her, “I lick it off.” ONE MOSE TIME Frank Smith’s wife was away for the week end, so he decided to get the boys together for a little cele bration. At midnight, he saw one of his guests start unsteadily for the door. “Say old man,” he protested, “you’re not going home yet?” “Oh, no,” stuttered the other, steadying himself with one hand on the doorknob, “I’m just going to miss the lasht train. Be back in a minute.” aTHINKING it was very strange that a man who could support tour dogs should have to ■ resort to stealing a lamb to feed his family the judge said, “You may have to steal a lamb to feed your family and yet, by your own admission, you have four dogs. Will you explain, please?” “Well, judge. Your Honor, suh," he replied with all the offended dig nity he could muster, "yo’ll didn’ expeck us to eat de dawgs, did yo’?” Always the Cavalier "Chivalry is not dead,” thought the woman just past her prime as she smiled and graciously accepted the seat in the subway offered her by a man in overalls. “Thank you very much,” she said. “That’s quite all right, m a’am,” he replied. As she started to take out her knitting she noticed that he was leaning slightly toward her. She looked up in time to hear him con tinue. “As I always say, m a’am, a man should always get up and give a lady his seat. Some of these guys offer their seats only to young and pretty girls, but as you can see, m a’am, it don’t make a bit of dif ference to me.” How Else? Everywhere the contractor looked he could see nothing but orders piled up. Plenty of jobs, but no man power with which to do them. As he stood contemplating the mountain of unfilled orders he was amazed to hear an old famil iar refrain, “Mister, have you got a job for me?” He turned eagerly and grabbed the man before he could get away. He didn’t seem much of a catch but he did say that he knew some thing about carpentry. Glad of any heip at all, the con tractor sent the new man out on a housing job. A few hours later, when he went out to see how the man was getting along, he groaned at the sight before him. “For heaven’s sake,” he cried, “I told you to cut one hole in this roof. Why did you make two?” The man looked at hiro and ex plained, “I had to make two. The first one was too small.” A Bit of Doing Grandpa was trying to impress his grandson the futility of fight ing. "Look, young feller,” he said, "you’ve just come home from a fight with the little boy down the street. Now you have an enemy, haven’t you?” “No, sir,” replied the lad, "Jim my’s my friend.” Grandpa didn’t want to get in volved in that issue so he adhered to the enemy theory. “But he might become an enemy,” he pointed out, “and then you might have a lot of troitble with him later on. Take me for instance, I get along very well with every body. I haven’t got an enemy in the world.” “Sure, I know, grandpa,” the boy replied, “that’s because you outlived them ail.” Boger & Howard PU R E SERVICE Tires Batteries A nd Accessories Kurfees Paints C om er N .

We talk of many noble traits T hat constitute an ideal life; Of those we think would make good mates— A husband true, a faithful wife; We talk Cf patience in the home, Of deeds of kindness great and small. But we shall find w here'er we roam T hat love, true tove embraces all. We try to measure life quite high By traits we say that man should own, Like honest deeds we know them hv And friendships they have trulv shown; We measure them by what thev do T hat makes them In our minds quite tall— The course they take, what thev pursue. But love, true love, embraces all. We think of men as being good Because of principals and cr-ad ; We spe?k of how they’ve walked or stood. And bow tbev’ve sown th ru righteous seeds; We measure men by what they sav Or how they’ve heeded God’s great call, Or kindness shown along life's way But love,- true love, embraces all W ithout true tove good traits would fail To make us noble in God’s sight, And never, never could avail In hr nging us to heaven’s light; Therefore the good let’s always seek, Aud hold to grace, lest we should fall. But w' en we reach life’s highest peak We’ll find true love embraces all. One Second From Eternity Omaha W orld-Herald A railroad engineer wbo e train nearly crashed into a car at Fte mont last Sunday, addressed an 0 pen letter to "the youth and bis girl” in tbe car. Tbe letter res.d: " I don’t know who vou are it’s true, but I do know you were scar, -d to death Sunday evening near 9 o'clock when vou drove your car across directly iu front of a speed ing passenger train. It was so close hat I. in the cab, could see tbe vonng girl (your sweetheart, I pre sume) throw her h mds up in front if her face and cringe up against you In stark horror, " If I were that voung girl.

"A nd please, for God’s sake, don’t try it again." ■lig h tly O m ftnei 1WJ VWO YOUNG MEN had been in- * vited out to dinner by their em ployer. During the. course of the meal the conversation drifted into channels which got the young friends into rather deep water for them. ' “Do you care for Omar Khay yam?” asked their host, at one point during the dinner, thinking to discover the literary tastes of the young men. “Pretty well,” the one addressed replied, “but, personally, I prefer Chianti.’’ The subject was abandoned, but on the way home the other said to his chum: “Why don’t you simply say you don't know when you're asked something you don’t . understand? Omar Khayyam isn’t a wine, you idiot. It’s a kind of cheese.” XAFF LI NES That’ll Teach Him Bf CLEAR TITLE RINGING BABIES safely into the world was a prominent physician’s speciality. He always scaled his fees to his client’s capac- . ity to pay. After delivering a son I and heir for a socially prominent and rich lady he was rather I amazed to hear the woman say:I “I realize, of course, that your services have been the sort that can not be fully paid for. However, I hope you will accept as a token - of appreciation from me this purse which I myself haye embroidered.” The physician wasn’t in the mood to let her off that easy. “Fees of the physician,” he said rather coldly, “are usually paid in money, not merely in gratitude. A doctor must eat, too, you know.” “What is your fee?” she asked. "Three hundred dollars,” he replied. Whereupon the lady opened the' purse she had brought as a token of her appreciation, took out five one hundred dollar bills, kept two and gave three to the physician. “Hey,” cried Satan to a new ar rival, “you act as if you owned the place.” "I do,” came the answer, "my wife gave it to me before I came." THAT DID ET Literal Minded His relatives telephoned to .the nearest florist’s. The ribbon must be extra wide, with “Rest in Peace” on both sides, and if there is room, “We -Shall Meet in Heaven.” The florist was away and his new assistant handled the job. There was a sensation when the flowers turned up at the funeral. The ribbon was extra wide, indeed, and on it was the inscription: "Rest in peace on both sides, and if there is room, we shall meet in heaven.” Spoke tlie Truth Two young men were in. earnest conversation on m atters regard-, ing the fair sex. “How could you be so deceitful as to tell that girl she was pretty?” asked Clarence. "I wasn’t deceitful at all,” re plied the other. “But, my dear nian, you don’t mean to say you think she is ac tually pretty?” “Of course not,” replied his companion.- "What I told her was that she was as pretty as she could be.” Th* doctor shivered as he en tered the cold room. “You’re not keeping the thermometer at 72 as I told you, Mrs. Gillie,” he admon ished the sick husband’s wife. “Sure, I am, doctor,” she pro tested. “There it is in that glass of warm water.” Minor Ailment Insurance Agent: “What did your grandparents die of?” Ezra: "I -don’t recollect; but twarn’t nothing serious.” Costly Carping An irritable man went to a farm for his vacation and hired the farm er to drive him around an hour or 30 each day. Bored by the farm er’s friendly efforts at conversation the man brusquely told him that he was hired to drive, not talk. The farm er kept his peace until he was asked what a certain item on his bill, presented at the end of [ the man’s two weeks, meant. I “That’s for sass,” explained the farm er. “I usually don’t take it, M when I do I charge.” Old Grey Mare An old grey m are has upset ani- mal disease statistics by dying of blackleg, a disease horses aren’t supposed to catch.

The fatal case of blackleg in a mare was reported In the J ournal of the American' Vet erinary Medical associat’on. Lab oratory tests confirmed the diaa- nOSiS.

The latter just shook his head. “Did you ask her for some food?” the first one persisted “Sure I did,” replied the sec ond, “but all she gave me was a cold shoulder, then she lashed out at me with a hot tongue, and believe me, she didn’t mince any words.” Little Harvey had been invited to his grandfather's house for I Thanksgiving dinner. Before he left, his mother gave him a lecture on behavior, particularly on second and third helpings at the table. The turkey and fixin's were won- denful, but when Grandma offered Harvey a second serving, the little boy declined. “Young man,” his grandmother said, “you need a tonic. You’re suffering from loss of appetite.” "Oh, no,” he hastily explained, “I’m just suffering front polite- Cause for Complaint The politician’s name had been bandied about quite frequently hr the press and he was complaining; to a friend about it. "But I don’t see anything wrong in that,” declared the friend.. “You’re getting a lot of publicity out of it.” The politician wouldn’t see tt. “But half those lies they tell about me aren’t true,” he protested. Sbada Traas May Suceamb Ta Dreafht This Winter The drought that has caused the current water shortage in cities has hit the trees that grow on the lawn and line the streets just as se verely. “A great number of shade trees may die by next spring because of lack of water,” Dr. Rush P. Mar shall, director of the Bartlett Tree research laboratories, warns. Ever greens and conifers will suffer most. AU trees, says Dr. Marshall must take up a certain amount of water during the winter. The func tions of a tree do not stop in win ter, but merely slow down. Decidu- ous trees that drop their leaves lose a certain amount of water through transpiration in the bark Conifers lose more through their needles. Unless the lost moisture is re placed, winter injury results am damage shows up the following spring. Winter damage may occur to the roots, too. When the soil ir, dry and the air spaces are nor filled, with water, the roois of trees dry out and die. Shallow-rooted trees growing r- unfavorable conditions become tl' first to die. During the last gro fall-and-winter drought, some yea ■■ ago, hundreds of oak trees died <•„. ■ particularly on ridges. Their toe- died back and the leaves failed ; come out. Many of the soft r~—: put forth but half their nr-"r foliage, then fruited heavily, ture’s permonition that death come soon. Dr. Marshall says that a bian' of snow this winter win jl- . “......... shade trees. The snow will prove: deep freezing of roots and at gro—. level will m elt sufficiently to i;ee the upper soil moist. In some are:- there still may be sufficient surfs-.’ rain before the ground freezes 1 tide some trees over the winter e-. - though no blanket of snow follows. Rmt Over 2,000 Years Old Helps In Corrosion Fight Two-thousand-year-old rust i< helping modem science fight cor rosion, which costs machine-age America billions of dollars a year. Dr. Earle R. Caley of Ohio State university has reported. Chemists aiding in” archeological investigations have paid special at tention to the composion of the cor rosion products of ancient metals and alloys, according to Dr. Caley, who said such studies “throw con siderable light on the mechanism of metal corrosion and on the rela tionship between chemical compo sition and resistance to corrosion.” Corrosion is only one of many fields in which chemical analysis of ancient m aterials is contributing valuable knowledge, Dr. Caley said. The results of such analyses, for example, help the archeologist him self to interpret his findings, and they indicate to the museum cura tor the proper methods to apply in the restoration and preservation of antique objects. None of the studies so far com pleted hap indicated that ancient peoples discovered and used any technical methods or produced any artificial products that cannot be duplicated today, Dr. Caley stated. “From the technical standpoint,” he asserted, “our modern materials are better, though from the artistic standpoint there is often no such superiority apparent in the use of m aterials.” Town Bnilt to Fight Fly In Northern Nigeria a new town is rising named Takalafiya, which means ‘Walk in Health.’ With its wide, mahogany - lined streets, elementary school, modern dispen sary and spacious market, Takala fiya is a symbol of the new Africa. But one mile to the east of this thriving community is. the squalid, densely-populated town of Old An chau, formerly district headquarters and center of local government for the Anchau area. Until recently 80 per cent of its 2,SOO inhabitants suf fered from guinea-worn infection caused by impure water. One third of them had sleeping sickness.

C. ■WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS- Einstein Calls Arms Race Suicide; Truman Asks Gl School Abuse End; Bigger Cities Laancli War on Crime (EDITOR'S NOTBi When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those •( Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) "vimS S I * A * V, •< » ~ « TRUMAN BUYS FIRST PO PPI . . . Mrs. Marie L. Sbeebe, Rockville, 111., national president of the American Legion Aux iliary, pins the first 1950 poppy on President Truman’s lapel at a Wliite House ceremony. The Legion poppy sale, proceeds of which go to disabled veterans, begins May 27. ARMS RACE: Suicide Road A solemn warning that an arms race between the United States and Russia beckons annihilation was issued by Dr. AlberL Einstein. Appearing on a television show, Einstein, hailed as the world’s greatest mathematician and one of the great physicists of the world, declared the arms contest now un derway is assuming “hysterical” proportions on both sides. ONE of the chief contributors to the final development of the atomic bomb, Einstein declared that “the means to mass destruction are per fected with feverish haste behind the respective walls of secrecy. The H-bomb appears on the public horizon as a probably attainable goal and its accelerated develop ment has been solemnly proclaimed by the President.” Then he uttered the punch line: “Armed security is an illusion if successful, radioactive poisoning of the atmosphere and hence an nihilation of any life on earth has been brought within the range of technical possibilities.” To implement that conclusion, he said: “The ghostlike character of this development lies in its appar ently compulsory trend. Every step appears as the unavoidable conse quence of the preceding one. In the end, there beckons more and more and more general annihilation.” FEW MEN could speak with more compelling authority on that sub ject than the white-haired, brilliant eyed, venerable scientist who has contributed so much to the sum of man’s knowledge. But each time civilization has been wont to attempt annihilation through war, there has been little disposition to listen to those voices who would cry out a warning. Gl SCHOOLS: Abuse End Asked The fantastic, preposterous ele ments in the GI school program had just about run their course. ,Ballroom dancing, bartending, even a lot of individual flight training by ex-GI’s who would never own an ■airplane or have occasion to need one, were on the way out, apparent ly, as part of the accepted GI ’school training program. NO LESS A FIGURE than Pres ident Truman himself handed con gress a catalog of abuses under this year’s 2.75-billion-dollar GI education program and urged the legislators to clamp down. Mr. Truman asked specifically for legislation to prevent “infer ior” training of that type which is likely to do the veteran little ap preciable good. His report showed that 761 mil lion dollars already has been added to the estimated cost of the GI schooling program for the current fiscal year ending June 30, and attributed this to increased enroll ment for trade, vocational and other schools below college level. THE PRESIDENT declined to say just how much might be saved by a careful scrutiny of the pro gram, but hinted at a billion dol lars. Among others, the report made these points: 1. Enough poor-quality training is in evidence “to warrant serious concern.” 2. The states—which under the law have the say-so about approving schools and courses—lack uniform standards. 3. Some states approve schools of a type which would not be approved in other states. As an example, it is said that some states qualify barbers in 11 weeks, others require two years. Crime A CHECK-UP With 14 metropolitan newspa pers taking a careful scrutiny of its operations, and the federal gov ernment opening a conference on what to do about it, U.S. crime ap peared to have fallen on evil days. Not for decades had the boys who deal in shady enterprises had so much publicity focused upon them. Names were being called, police officials were getting the lifted- eyebrow treatment, wire services were ripping telephones out of bookie joints and, all in all, it ap peared to be a real blow into which the craft of crime was wallowing. THE PRESS would be the real instrument of exposure, granted that officialdom in cities included really wanted to clean up the un desirable conditions. For example, New York city’s fabulous Frank Costello, often called the king of the rackets, was the first target of the newspaper series. Costello was referred to as a “fellow so unbe lievable he might have been dreamed up by a Hollywood script writer.” The story attempted to link him with top-flight gambling activities over most of the U.S. One significant line in the first of the newspapers’ series was this: “Gambling can’t operate for any period unless the police let it op erate. Nor can the other rackets.” THAT was so obviously axioma tic that there could be no argument with' it, and honest cops over the nation had to take the rap with the hand-held-out boys when blame was being shuffled around for lax law enforcement. The slot machine—termed vari ously the “one-armed bandit” and other unprintable names—was the target for a (special government in quiry. It was indicated that their menace is so fully realized that the federal government may step in to help the state control them. There is an ironical contradic tion here, however, because the fed eral government licenses slot ma chines and accepts revenue from that source. If the federal govern ment should outlaw them, it would go a long way toward insuring effi cient state control. INDONESIA: Unde Comes Through The United States, continuing its efforts to stop communism • by strengthening local nationalist regimes over the globe, approved a loan of 100 million dollars to the' new republic of Indonesia. THE MONEY, according to re ports, was to be used by Indonesia to finance purchase in this coun try of industrial material arid equip ment for reconstruction of the Indo nesian economy. It was reported that funds from the import-export bank, which made the loan, might be flowing to Indo nesia in a m atter of weeks for pur* chase of railroad cars, trucks and similar equipment, but that a long er time would be required for such items as heavy, machinery. THE INDONESIANS, numbering 75 million people, are faced with a major task of restoring production to an economy not yet recovered from the effects of wartime Jap anese occupation. The funds from the United States would go principally to repair of war-damaged port, railway, high way and processing facilities and replacement of damaged transportation facilities. The loan was the lajgest since the import-export bank agreed to lend Israel 100 million dollars sev eral months ago. BUILDERS' DREAM Mud Can Be Made StrongerThan Concrete Certain chemicals plus a sloppy mud patch which, in 24 hours, pro duces a firm soil pack that may be a road stronger than concrete should prove to be a contractor’s dream. The new technique was reported by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It was reported the process is especially needed to “give a tough surface for landing operations, newly built airfields and roads for military purposes.” The technique was called an “en tirely new approach.” The process, it was said, can be used on soils containing up to 30 per cent water by weight, or enough water to turn clay as soft as bread dough. Five hours after treatment, the soil is elastic and has vast ten* sile strengths. COAL DISPUTE: Strikes vs. Courts If the recent coal strike did noth ing else, it may have set in mo tion forces that will bring about a determination for all time of the power of the courts of the land to deal with big walkouts. . It is true that John L. Lewis, un der pressure of the law, capitu lated and ordered the miners back to work; but when he gave the order the miners were defiant and no one knew whether they would return to the pits in sufficient num bers to ease the production situa tion. THE BIG QUESTION in the minds of most Americans was: What can be done about it? If the miners didn’t want to work, who could make them return to the pits? In this still-free land, men can work -or quit without penalty under the law. But could their union be punished because its mem bers quit as a group, since the law says a union is responsible for the acts of its “agents.” If that were the attempted remedy, the question surely would be raised: Were the miners acting as individuals in pursuit of their in dividual rights in working, or must they be regarded as “agents” of the union in their decision? It was a torturous question and one certain to provide a classic case for the courts. Of course if Lewis and the oper ators, under order of the court to resume bargaining, were to reach an agreement, the question would become a moot one. But under the recurrent stress of coal strikes— and usually at a time when coal stockpiles are' lowest—the result may be the writing of some new law, or court-deciston approach to break up the continual crises which hamstring production and contrib ute to widespread unemployment and consequent suffering.

Trailing United States Senator Johnson (D., Tex.) is claiming that Russia is, far ahead of the United' States in development of guided missiles and has called for an immediate review of this nation’s guided- missiles program. JOHNSON ASSERTED that the United States is lagging as much as two years behind the Russians in this field of warfare and added: “If guided missile warfare should begin within the next two or three years we—at our present rate— would be very feeble participants For a push-button war, we have neither the push nor the button.” HE STATED that the nation’s missile program is a “minor, al most obscure item” in the defense budget. iMaybe So’ According to a California Dem ocrat who might know, President Truman has been thinking about the 1952 presidential election. George Luckey, Los Angeles, vice-chairman of the California Democratic central committee, has reported that he put the question up to the President during a White House visit and got “maybe so” for an answer. “He said ‘maybe so,’ ” Luckey told reporters. “He said that if we have the same team together again, maybe we can do some thing.” Luckey said by “team” the Pres ident meant those who supported him in 1948. While Mr. Truman has never declared openly that he would be a candidate for reflection' in 1952, he has never flatly ruled Out the possibility. I ASIA: Secret Tolks Some indication of the signif icance of Asia in developing world affairs could be had in the report that 17 American envoys had held a secret, three-day parley in Bangkok on the tumultuous prob lems of the continent. They were attempting, reports said, to find means of strengthen ing United States policy in an'area already half-Red and half unde cided.

Write BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Handsome Is, Handsome Does: Case of Mind Over Mattress ■ By BILLY ROSE- At a spaghetti salon, I got to talking with a reformed bootlegger who is currently the Mister Big of a big whiskey company. “What do you hear from the mob?” I asked. “Anything that would fill up three sheets of copy paper?” The former Man of Extinction thought a minute. “There’s one story I don’t remember seeing in print,” he said. “It’s about an old man named Honowitz who ran a candy store on the East Side around the time Dutch Schultz was buying his first delivery trucks . . One night as the storekeeper was about to lock up, a hoodlum stepped into the shop and gun pressed a against the old man’s mid dle. “Hide me somewhere,” he said. The old man Imew better than to argue with a revolver. “Who’s chasing you?” he asked, as he JPttj W tr- < ■ O ' Billy Rose opened the trap door which led to the cellar.“Some fellas from Jersey.” When they got to the basement, Eonowitz pointed to a couple of old m attresses near the coal bin. “Lay down,” he said,, “and I’ll make a sandwich.” A minute later the storekeeper had rolled man and mattresses into a bundle and tied it up with a piece of old clothesline. • • • AS HE STARTED back up to the store, a couple of men, guns in hand, came down the stairs. “What- cha doin’ in the cellar?” asked one. “Bankin’ the furnace,” said the old man. The gents from Jersey poked around in the trash barrels, ex amined the coal bin and then came to the rolled-up mattresses. "I’ll throw * bullet into them for Inch,” said one of them. "You been seeing too many movies” said the other. ttLefs try the roof." The mobsters went upstairs and Ronowitz heard the door bang. He banked the fire, and waited in his store until he saw the men climb into a car and drive off. Then he went back down and untied the mattresses. “You done fine, Pop,” said the fugitive, taking a wad of bills out of his pocket. “Tell me when to stop countin’.” * "Such money I don’t take," said the old man. ttYa kin have anything ya want;’ said the gangster. "Mate a wish. Better yet, make three wishes like in them fairy stories.” “Well,” said the storekeeper, “I hear in a couple weeks some guy from the West Side is opening a candy store on the next block.” “He ain’t gonna open,” said the hoodlum. “Keep talkin’.” “The man who sells me my chocolate syrup, all of a sudden he wants a 15 per cent mark-up.” ‘TH discuss it with him. Chances are you’ll get a reduction. One more wish to go—this time make it good.” “That's aU I can think of,” said Ronowitz, “excepting maybe you’d like to tell me how it felt when you was in the m attress.” * • * THE GANGSTER’S Ups tight ened. “You’re makln’ fro of me, Pop,” he said, “and I don’t like it. I wanted to. pay ya off nice and proper, but since ya don’t want it that way, maybe I better try some thin' else.” Ten minutes later, as per phone instructions from the hoodlum, a DEATH Iytf- GRACE NOLL CROWELL TO FOLD my hands a litde while in sleep A brief night through, and wait with quiet breath > The coming of the morning, and to keep Quite calm and Still, is that what we call death?

I SfiIO2E<$CREEN£f By INEZ GERHARD •PHE PRESENCE of studio audi- • ences at the CBS Saturday night broadcasts of “The Goldbergs” , for the first time in 20 years, rather startles author-star Gertrude Berg. She had felt that the program’s ef fectiveness would be spoiled if, for instance, an audience saw the sound GERTRUDE BERG man open a window when she waa supposed to do it. But the thousands of requests to see the show in the studio prove that people are eager to see “Molly”, “Jake”, “Rosalie” and “Sammy” in person and don’t give a hoot who opens windows. They have become so real during all these years that nothing can possib ly destroy the illusion. Pretty little Vanessa Brown, who was so thrilled over getting the role of the Irish maid in “The Heiress”, has been signed for a top role in "Three Husbands”, for United Art ists. Also signed for a leading role is Emlyn Williams, well known playwright, stage and screen star. “Three Husbands” is by Vera Ca»- pary, credited with “A Letter to Three Wives” . Pierre, a 5-year-old chimpanzee, will make his motion picture debut in HaH Wallis’ “My Friend Irm a Goes West”, now shooting at Para mount. A native of the Jungle Vil lage, he wiU play most of his scenes opposite Jerry Lewis. Cornel Wilde and Manreen O’Hara rehearsed eight hoars on two consecutive days for their fencing sequence In the opening scenes of RKO’s “ Sons of the Musketeers” . Their re hearsals involved a fight roo- tine to be shot In one take, re quiring three aAd one-half min utes to film. Wilde is a skilled fencer; Maureen had had in tensive coaching for weeks. The announcement of Bob Hawks' engagement came as a surprise to a lot of people. He will m arry Mary Rechner, executive assistant to Dore Schary, head man at M-G-M1 as soon as a replacement for her can be found. “The Tattooed Stranger” RKO’s mystery drama, follows the trend of using New York for backgrounds, which was so successful with “The Window” . Script calls for scenes everywhere, from the Bowery to the BeUevue morgue. Save Money On This Home Mixed Cough Syrup Big Saving. No Cooking.

Here is what Hoover said tt cause those ashen faces. Hoover dramatically reported that subversive activities in the United States are at an all-time high—worse than during the war. He also revealed that Com munists are doing away with party cards in order to prevent detec tion and conviction. Instead, they identify each other by word of mouth. Hoover told the senators that Communists were making a spe cial attempt to infiltrate into stra tegic industries such as telegraph, telephone and the manufacture of electrical equipment. Asked point- blank by the senators whethei there was a spy ring inside the gov ernment, Hoover answered “no.” The head G-man complained that Elizabeth Bentley’s sensa- - tional disclosures two years ago had been premature and that as a result the FBI lost many sources that had been care fully planted for 10 years inside the Communist party. Listening to Hoover as he testi fied was Sen. Homer Fergusion of Michigan who was partly re sponsible for the Bentley dis closures. Ferguson, together with Congressman J. Parnell Thomas, then chairman of the un-American activities committee, heard about Miss Bentley in connection with the Communist treason trial being pre pared in New York and jumped the gun on the justice department. In order to cop the news headlines, they called Miss Bentley before their committees and smeared ,her testimony all over the front pages. New Employees Needed Hoover was testifying in order to secure appropriations for about 70 new employees. H£ illustrated the work of his G-men by telling how during the first trial of Alger Hiss, the FBI was unable to locate Hiss’ maid. All Mrs. Chambers could remember about the maid was her name, “Mary.” However, after the first trial, Mrs. Chambers dug u] DREW PEARSON & SCRIPTURE: Acts 6:1-6; 20:17—21:6: Z Corinthians 13: I Timotlw 3.DEVOTIONAL READING: Romans12:3*8.

Go back into the story of Acts and you wiU find a place where elders are first mentioned in the Christian church (11:30); go stiU farther back and you come to Ihe first election of deacons (Acts 6).

MS® TBB DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE N. C.. MARCH 8 1950 \ Po Yea Want To Cut Ycur Federal Taxes? Something For Nothing ¥ ou know that you can’t keep draw ing money out of your bank account without ever putting any in. Hie bank doesn’t play that way. This is also true of Federal financing. Every dollar spent must sooner or later be collected in the form of taxeB. Many of these taxes are bidden, such as the $2.44 you pay on a $30 radio, or the 02 cents on the average alarm clock. These are in addition to the direct taxes of which the average citizen is painfully aware. Tax money is necessary to run our government. But all too much of it is wasted by inefficiency, duplication of effort, overlapping of Federal agencies or appropriations for ser vices to pressure groups. Heretofore, no one has known much these government services cost us through waste and inefficiency. But some surprising facts have Incn revealed Iiy the Commission on tin- Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government. This tvclvi-inai: bi-partisan Commission was created by Congress with the approval of th. President. At. Ilic suggestion of Mr. Truman, former President Hoover was made its Chairman. The Army, Navy, and Air Force asked for $30 billions of appropria tions after being told that $15 billions was ail the Nation could afford. The Army applied for $211,000 tropical uni forms at $129 a piece and homes for military personnel in Alaska at $58,- 000 apiece. Yet every dollar spent in such activities comes out of your pocket in the form of taxes. Fifty Federal agencies jostle each other collecting statistics at an annual cost to you, the taxpayer, of $43,000,- 000. Many of the statistics are of use only to small groups, or collect dust in government files. The Corps of Aviuy Engineers and the Bureau of Keclamation are ex pert at selling the ’‘something for nothing" idea to the American public. Underestimation of costs appears to be their specialty. The original price tag put on the Colorado-Big Thomson project was $44 millions. Its final cost was $131,800,000. Such discrepancies, the Commission wryly notes, “hardly can be explained by increases in labor and material costs." You may obtain information about how you can fight waste and in efficiency in our government by writ ing to the Citizens Committee for Re organization of the Executive Branch of the Government, 1421 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia 2, Penna. Also write your Congressman! Tell him you want laws enacted which will put into effect the suggestions of the Commission! Do Yey Want To Cut Ycur Federal Taxes? Slash Government Cost Famous Zoo In Washington Painted, Scraped, Scrubbed I The zoo in the nation’s capital, known to children and adults' the entire country over, would be a jumble of rusting cages and* decay ing buildings if it were not for con stant upkeep and painting by order of its Director, Dr. William M. Mann. “The zoo,” he says, "is like a ship. It’s scraped and painted and scrubbed all the time. We use about $1500 worth of paint and al lied products evety year—and that can hardly be cahod an expense because it saves thousands in de preciation.” The famous zoo, which has 3,000 animals, birds and reptiles to house, hires one man whose sole job is painting. Benches, guard -rails, cages, sheds, inside offices, work rooms, animal houses, con crete floors, watch boxes and gates —all get their paint-protection. Zoo painting is not done solely to fore stall rust and decay, however. Backgroimds are painted Io set off the animals to best advantage. Even if it’s just a plain wall or the bars of the cage, a color is carefully selected for its appear ance as well as its durability. During the depression, young ar- tists were employed by the WPA to make the zoo more colorful. They painted backgrounds which pictured animals in their native habitats—whether they were Afri ca, South -America or the North Pole. Mountains, clouds, se a , swamps and woods were all por trayed in lovely colors. Artists were so earnest and enthusiastic that — even though they had to pay for the paint themselves on their low salaries—they selected only the best. Thus far the painted backgrounds have withstood the wear and tear of time and rough treatment. The reptile and bird houses have stood up especially well. Snakes crawl beside the edges of green-swamps and birds spread wings against a sky forever blue. “Reptiles, in par ticular, leave their backgrounds unscathed,” Dr. Mann says. “Bui hippos, elephants and giraffes show :es3 artistic appreciation. They’re all for using a sacred Indian tem ple or tire River Nile for a good back-scratch.” I If you I personal or business ex penses go up and your income and efficiency come down this year at the same rate as that of the Federal Gov ernment. you will he in the hands of the sheriff at an early date. Workers, farmers, and businessmen from Maine to California know this. The answer is in the Report of the Commission on the Organization of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government. This twelve-man, bi partisan Commission was unanimously created by Corgress with the approval of the President. At the suggestion of Mr. Truman, former President Hoover was made its Chairman and Secretary of State Dean Acheson. Vice Chairman. The late president Fmnklin D. i’.oosevelt long had ad vocated such a reorganization of the government. There is a two-fold purpose behind the effort to reorganize the Executive Branch of the Government: One—the elimination of the inefficiency caused by overlapping and duplication; two— this should lead to a reduction of your taxes. If our Government can save from three to four l>illion dollars a year by more efficient methods of con ducting our business, failure to act is atupid short-sightedness. Action, however, depends upon the President and Congress. The Presi dent has already submitted a number of reorganization recommendations. The Congress has adopted several of these, most important having to do with the housekeeping of the armed forces, which save the taxpayer more than $500,000,000 a year. But these are only first steps. There will bi- more ahead if Congress is made to realize Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer warn more tax-saving economies. Congress men and Senators will vote for just so many of the Commission's recommen dations as you. their constituents, demand. What can you, as an individual, do about it? The answer is to write your Congressman and Senators. Tell them you want the Recommendations of the Commission on the Organization of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government made the law of the land. Join the non-partisan Citizens Com mittee set up to obtain the necessary action to make the Commission’s report work. Write to the Citizens Committee for Reorganization of the Executive Branch of the Government, I 142! Chestnut Street, Philadelphia 2, I Pennsylvania for more information about the Commission Report. Tell your neighhors about it. Make speeches' Make your representatives in Washington act—now! Science Seeks New Sites For Cosmic Ray Research To the sport and the glory of scal ing the high peaks, modern science has added a new purpose—the es tablishment of sites for cosmic ray research. A survey headed by Brad ford Washburn, Boston scientist, is under way to check the feasibility of such a permanent station on Alas ka’s Mount McKinley, the highest point of North America. Since cosmic rays are best ob served in rarefied altitudes, stud ies of the bombardment of the earth by this mysterious force are often made from aircraft and bal loons, notes the National Geograph ic society. The society, in fact, is cooperating in upper-air investiga tions of cosmic ray secrets over a Canadian outpost settlement on Hudson Bay. Various ground stations, too, have been established for such re search on tall mountains in the United States and abroad. Mount McKinley, however, with a maxi mum reach in its South peak of 20,257 feet, would offer the world’s highest fixed vantage point to date. The Alaska monarch is a two- headed giant. Rising in Mount Mc Kinley national park, north of Anchorage, it has a secondary North peak that is more than 19,000 feet up. Early Indian tribesmen called the mountain “The Great One” and “Home of the Sun.” Russian traders in Alaska once spoke of it as the “Big Mountain.” But it was not until 1896 that Mount McKinley., was’ given its present name. Estimating Painting Needs You estimate the amount of paint jallonage required for the walls of a room by multiplying the length of the room by the height . . . and doubling the total (for the two walls.) Then you learn the area of the other two walls by multiplying the width of the room by the height, then doubling the total. The two totals, added together, give you the number ’of square feet in all four walls.

A column of oil is substituted for the ord’nary metal pouch. Tlie col umn is struck hard at the top. The oil, confined in all directions and not compressible, is forced to punch through the steel sheet at the bot tom of the column and into the hol low area of the die placed under the sheet. The new method, it is < aimed, would considerably re duce costs in various ways. Overlapping Near East and Middle East Baffle Readers Where are the Near East and the Middfie East? The U. S. department of state has • division of near eastern affairs •nd a division of South Asian Af fairs within its Office of Near east ern and African Affairs. It thus, in general, avoids the term Middle East. The United Nations, on the ether hand, uses Middle East free ly, as do British and American journalists in referring to much fhe same region m eant when the term Near East is used. The three Easts—Near, Middle, and Far—came into use as a m at ter of convenience. They have never had an official status, and their boundaries have always been rather vague. They served to break into handier sections the vast, misty East or Orient that had re mained little known since the days of the Roman empire. Its outlines first began to appear distinctly when Portuguese ex plorers, soon after the discovery of America, sailed around the southern end of Africa, crossed the Indian ocean, pushed into the Pacific, and nosed along the Indo china and China coasts. Those coasts and their hinterlands be came the Far East—far from a Europe which considered itself the center of the world. By way of contrast to "Far East,” writers began to use “Near East,” referring to the fringe of countries along the Asiatic main land nearest to Europe. “Middle Fast” did not come into such com mon use but was employed by some writers in a hazy way to cover parts of the intervening East. The term s Near East and Middle East have never been applied to regions north of the almost con tinuous mountain fall formed by the Caucasus, the mountains of northern Iran (Persia), the Hindu Kush, and the Himalayas. Near East was adopted pretty generally by American writers and geog raphers to apply to Turkey, Syria, Palestine, and sometimes Egypt. In some cases Iraq, the Hashimite Kingdom of the Jordan (formerly Transjordan), and parts of north western Arabia were included. Housewives Should Know About Soaps, Detergents No one soap or synthetic deter gent is best for all laundering pur- Manufacturers are specializing in their products today, making different kinds for different needs. The mild soap, so satisfactory for fine fabrics and so easy on the hands, may not get work clothes as clean as a “general purpose” laundry soap. ’ The product which keeps shirts and sheets so white may fade, colored clothes, a n d shrink or harden wools and silks. Soap that washes well in soft water may do a poor job in hard water. A detergent which leaves wool socks and sweaters soft and clean, may be a disappointment when used for cottons. This is why the housewife needs to know more about the different types of soaps and other deter gents. As a guide to buying, it pays to read what the wrapper or package says about the product— whether it is recommended for fine washing, or genera] launder ing. Both soaps and synthetic deter gents today are of two main types —the built and the unbuilt—wheth er they are bars, flakes, chips, beads or liquid. Unbuilt soaps generally are rec ommended for delicate fabrics. They are almost pure soap, with a little moisture and common salt mixed in, and are best used in soft water. Built soaps, in con trast, are soaps built up with alka line salts, like borax or washing soda, to aid the cleaning action and lieln soften water. They are for badly soiled cottons, and usual-. Iy are advertised for general laundering. Boger & Howard PU R E SERVICE Tires Batteries A ndA ccessories Kurfees Paints C om er N .

The venom is a clear, colorless fluid’, secreted by two glands, one secret ing an acid and the other an alka line fluid. The mixture, in the form ejaculated, is acid to litmusi. It exerts three actions: (I) pro duces inflammation, (21 is a core- vulsant. and (31 is a stunefyin^ and paralyzing subst~-.ee.- Due to personal idiosyncrncicS, the feac; tion to bee stings varies in severity-. A number of stings may cause some persons no more inconven ience than so many painless pap ules. On the other extreme are per sons who have died in a few min utes from a single sting. Roof Cement Saves Fuel Roof cement, a product of the paint industry which is used for repairing leaks and cracks in roofs of all descriptions, help3 to cut down fuel bills by increasing com bustion efficiency. This is possible because of its faculty for adhering to brick and m ortar, remaining elastic and expanding or contract ing with the surface to which it is attached. It can also be applied to the brick and concrete settings of boilers, furnaces,, kilns, oil stil'- and all other heating equipment to prevent Oil infiltration.

We talk of many noble traits That constitute an ideal life— Of those we think would make good mates, A husband true, a faithful wife; We talk of ,patience in the home, Of deeds of kindness great and small. But we shall find, where’er we roam T hat love, true love, embraces all. We trv to measure life quite high By traits we’say that men should own, Like honest'deeds we know them bv And friendships'they have trulv shown; W e measure them bv what thev do T hat makes them in our minds quite tall— The course they take, what they pursue, Bnt1Iove. true love, embraces all. We think of men as being good Because'of principles and creeds; W e speak of how they’ve walked or stood. BfAnd how they’ve sown their ’" ^ ^ rig b te o u s seeds; We measure men bv whut thev sav t?O r how thev’ve heeded God’s great call. O r kindness shown along life’s way But love,’true love, embraces all W ithout true love good traits would fail To make us noble in God’s sight And never, never could avail In bringing us to heaven’s light; Therefore the goodl 'let’s always seek. And bold to grace, lest we should fall. But when we reach life’s highest peak W e’ll find true love embrases all. Those Comies Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho Everybody reads the comics. T hat’s what our readers tell us. If yon don’t have this weekly habit we’re suggesting that yon give it a try. T urn to the inside pages of The Record. There’s a sprightly fami ly of comic characters awaiting you. A fter you’ve read the local news and ads get acquainted with rbem. Tha Davie Record funuv page is crowded with the kind of fancifnt people and hapnenings that arc really funnv The tendency of many comic strips to be more tra gic than comic is not present In na tionally syndicated fnnny paee. For the characters who cavort and amble through the funny page canals are kindly, very often mud dled friends at whom vou can laugh without fear of their resent. log it. There is “ G randm a,” the old lady who is a young lady; “ V irgil” who is aay boy and every boy; “ Sunnyside,” in which Mr. Dee just barely manafes to keep his drugstore going and keep out of a straitjacket at the same time; “ The Old Gaffer” possessing a magnifi cent beard of a thousand uses. Also, you’ll find “ Bouford.” the friendly introvert with the violent family; “ M utt and Jeff.” eternal veterans of good, rousing slapstick; "Jitter,” the mischievous tnonkev, and “ W yide and W ooty.” two in. dnstrions boohs a s western as “ Thev went thataw ay.” In addition to these eight top quality strips, there are two ue- ttonallv famous cartoon panels - “ Bobby Sox” bv Marty Links and “ Cross Town” by Roland Coe, T hey’re as good as you’ll find any where. To say that Tbe Davie Recoid comic page is honest to-goodness comical is to say it all. Turn to it inside the paper now. You can’t peat it for laughts. An American expedition has tak en the field on Saipan, second lar gest in the tropical island chain, for a campaign of archeological de tective work aimed at unraveling the mystery of early civilization in the western Pacific. “Clues” in abundance exist, but scientists have yet to wrest from them the story of the vanished peo ple who once inhabited the archi pelago. Four of the 15 Marianas— Saipan, Guam, Rota and Tinian— are dotted with prehistoric burial sites, believed to have been erected centuries before the discovery of the islands in 1521 by Ferdinand Magellan. Usually marked by double rows or upright stone pillars, these graves until recently were regard ed with suspicion and even fear by the Chamorros, who were native to the islands when the white man first came. Much of this apprehen sion now has disappeared, although the natives show scant curiousity about the secret of the monuments. That is because the historic sites are meaningless to the present-day inhabitants. The story of their sig nificance evidently was lost to the Chamorros centuries ago, if indeed they ever possessed it. Yet, judg ing by sheer numbers alone, the graves once represented an im portant feature of the islands’ cul ture. Guam itself boasts several hun dred monuments, but only a hand ful ever have been excavated. These few have yielded sufficient archeological material, in the opin ion of antiquarians, to make pres ervation and study of the untouched sites worth while. The same holds true for graves on the other three islands. Edueafional Revolufion In Process, Edueafor Says Dr. Edwin S. Burdell, Director of The Cooper Union, has character ized the 20th century as the century of the educational revolution. “The startling implication of the last half century of development is that just as the 19th century has been called the century of the in dustrial revolution, so the 20th cen tury is well on the way to becom ing the century of the educational revolution,” Dr. Burdell declared. The ihcrease of more than two million enrolled college students in a half-century and the even greater increases to come, have created shortages of qualified teachers, classrooms, libraries and labora tories, Dr. Burdell said. “But the two problems that tran scend all others are; first how to achieve a reconciliation between teaching a student a body of facts and educating him to sense of val ues, and second, through this achievement to prepare man’s mind to control the life and death forces involved in the release of atomic energy. “Facts are important, but of greater importance is what we make out of them. Knowledge and wisdom have to be woven into the fabric. At no previous time in the history of man have so many trained persons been working on facts. Unfortunately, the funds and personnel for physical research far outstrip those for social research, with the result that the storehouse of facts on the physical world is bulging whereas the pursuit of so cial studies lags in comparison. No Proof Uncle Sam Savs ’*1W'.:* VEARS AGO there was an old I man who lived at the edge of the Grand Canyon, and who used to tell tourists toat he had dug out the big cleft in the ground, and had wheeled away the dirt in a wheelbarrow. He told the tale once to a young girl from the East. "I don’t believe it!” she said, indignantly. “Why don’t you believe it?” he asked. “Well, you might have dug it out, as you say, and wheeled the dirt away in a wheelbarrow—but what did you do with the dirt?” JUST AN ORDEAL A guy who goes for the cup that cheers somewhat too much was finally cornered by his wife in a bar where he was dreamily con templating a slug of rye. Being in a genial mood, he offered her a sip, but when she took it she gagged and spluttered, finally com ing out with:. “How can you ever drink that horrible stuff?” "See?” said the husband, “and all the while you thought I was having a good time!” Ring the Alarm Interiors of old churches had al ways held a certain fascination for Jones. Whenever, in his travels, he saw one he would make a point of inspecting it thoroughly. He came upon a curiously shaped bell in a small country church and asked the sexton what it was used for. “That bell is reserved for calami ties,” said the sexton, "such as fires, floods, or a visit from the bishop.” M atter of Opinion Manager—“You are the most beautiful woman in Hollywood!” Movie Star—“You’d say so even if you didn’t think so.” Manager—“Well, we’re square then. You’d think so even if I didn’t say so.” ALL THAT MATTERED Xhis is the time we honor __.0 date of one of our greatest Americans, George Washington. Properly called “The Father of His Country,” our first President revealed sound judgment in everything he undertook. And one of these wonderful traits was thrift. Every American should hold fast to that habit by saving—every payday—a part of his earnings.

Keeeh wrote a new angle into the contin uing fight between the United Mine Workers and the coal opera tors. The judge cited the miners themselves for criminal contempt on grounds that the 370,000 UMW members had “willfully and wrong fully” ignored his back-to-work order. THE NEW ANGLE was that thir time the UMW's boss, John L. Lewis was not even mentioned in the citation. Observers pointed out that the citation could lead to heavy fines against the union. On two previous occasions, Levvis was named defendant when strike issues came into federal court. There was some speculation that ommission of Lewis’ name from the contempt citation might mean that the government felt that Lewis had been really sincere when he or dered his miners back to work—but no government official would com ment on the subject. Judge Keech’s action came as the east was gripped with bitter cold, with many housewives’ coal bins nearly empty. In the meantime, violence flared in the eastern Kentucky coal field as roving mobs wrecked equip ment at several mines and beat up at least U miners. Ten men were beaten in Knox county and one was attacked in Harlan county. SIXTEEN AUTOMOBILES loaded with six men each visited a number of mines, Kentucky state police reported. Twenty-eight bul lets were fired into a mine man- car hauling miners up an incline, and two automobiles belonging to miners were overturned. As for the hope of the contempt citation to end the mine walkout, no one would say how effective it would be. It was recalled that there is no limit on the penalty a federal court may impose for contempt, but the Constitution forbids “un usual and excessive” punishment, and the supreme court in 1947 re duced the UMWs contempt fine from three million dollars to $710,000. BULGARIA: U.S. Cuts Off Uncle Sam finally “got his dan der up” and began to get tough with the Communist - dominated Balkan countries. In one of the toughest U.S., foreign policy actions since World War II, this nation broke off diplomatic relations with Bulgaria and ordered home Amer ican Minister Donald R. Heath and his entire staff. At the same time, the state de partment demanded the recall of Dr. Peter Voutov and his smaller Bulgarian staff in Washington. DEVELOPMENTS in the same vein included a ban on American travel in Hungary and the order ing from Communist China of all American consuls. The U.S. action was seen as a cli max to what the state department called a “long series of intoler ances and indignities” against the U.S. legation in Sofia. In that, the state department was on solid ground because since the legation was established in 1947, Bulgarian officials and the controlled Bulgarian press, the department said, had been “con stantly !denouncing and insulting the United States.” The depart ment charged the Sofia govern ment had carried on an “unprin cipled campaign of prosecution” against Bulgarian employees of the legation. THE DIRECT CAUSE of the break was said to be Bulgaria's demand of January 19 that Heath be recalled for “interference” in Bulgarian internal affairs. Charges of spying also had been made against Americans in the legation. The break was significant be cause it indicated a stronger atti tude by President Truman and state secretary Acheson toward Moscow satellites with which the U.S. has been waging postwar dis putes. However, there was no cause for alarm as to military repercussions. For, as Winston ChurchiU put it, diplomatic recognition of one na tion by another does not mean es pousal of that nation’s policies or attitudes—it is an act to secure certain conveniences. Conversely, when diplomatic relations are brok en off, it means chiefly that those conveniences are at an end, but not necessarily military action. MEN'S CLOTHES: Going Up Early in 1950, there was- much newspaper space devoted to fea ture articles in which a happy era of low-cost men’s clothing was about to descend upon the Amer ican male. Indeed, the old standby—the $35 suit—was pitcured as coming into its own again and a man could cheerfully anticipate clothes buy ing. But apparently it was all a dream, for clothing costs are up. Out and In William Dudley Pelley (left), farmer Silver Shirt leader, was released on parole from the U.S. prison in Terre Haute, Ind., where he had been serving a 15-year sentence on a crim- ial sedition charge. But as he left the prison gates he was promptly arrested again, be cause North Carolina has re quested his extradition in order to try him for violation of the state’s securities law. OLEO BILL: A Compromise Congress had reached a compro mise on what should be done about the biU to repeal federal taxes on oleomargarine. One factor helping the compromise along was the striking out of a senate require ment that colored margarine sold at retail be put up in triangular . packages. But the conference committees which effected the compromise put in strict labeling requirements. IF THE SENATE and house ac cept the compromise, it would be come effective July I. The bill had been in the hands of the confer ence committees since February 2. The House passed the measure last year, with one senate version being approved in January of this year. It had been agreed by both houses to knock out federal taxes on oleo, but dairy interests had held out for the triangular-package requirement, arguing that this was- necessary to make sure nobody go! margarine thinking it was butter. HERE are the taxes the bill would wipe out: One-fourth of a cent a pound on uncolored margarine, 10 cents a pound on the colored form; $600 a year on manufacturers whether their output was colored or not; $480 a year on wholesalers of col ored margarine, $200 on whole salers of the uncolored, $48 on re tailers of colored margarine, and $6 a year on retailers of the uncol ored variety. Unaffected by the bill are laws in 21 states banning manufacture or sale of colored margarine. SEARCH: No Sharp Guide The inviolability of a man’s home against search without due course of law—meaning a properly executed warrant—is now in ques tion as the result of a recent su preme court decision. The court, in a 5 to 3 ruling, held that when police legally arrest a man, they also may search a lim ited area under his immediate con trol for evidence of a crime. But the court didn’t say exactly how far the police may go. Justice Felix Frankfurter pro tested vigorously. Dissenting from the opinion, he declared that the “decision makes mockery of the fourth amendment to the constitu tion which bans unreasonable search and seizure. He added that the court by its action had overturned a long series of decisions and argued that the tribunal should “show respect for continuity in the law.” The majority opinion was writ ten by one of the new justices, Sherman Minton, who said, “What is reasonable search is not to be determined by any fixed formula. The recurring questions of the rea sonableness of searches must find resolution in the facts and circum stances of each case.” The decision came in the case of Albert .J. Rabinowitz, whi charged with the sale of foi tered postage stamps. WheJ was arrested, officers search® office and found 573 more staj These were made the basis new charge that he possessed) concealed altered stamps. SHARING: One Great Hour1 This Sunday March 12, there will occur one of the most unique events in the history of spiritual elevation and m an's efforts to help his fellow man. For, on that day some 100,000. churches with approx imately 25 million members will join in a coordinated appeal for the support of overseas relief and re construction projects. THE APPEAL will be conducted under the slogan: “One Great Hour of Sharing,” and will be made simultaneously in all cooperating churches as part-of • the-regular worship of the day. ■Church World Service, which is conducting the campaign, is the overseas relief .agency of 23 coop erating Protestant and Eastern Orthodox church bodies. In addi tion to the denominations affiliated with it, it is supported by the fol lowing interdenominational agen cies: Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, Foreign Mis sions Conference of North Amer ica, American Committee of the World Council of Churches, and the United Council of Church Women. These affiliated organizations un derstand better than perhaps any other organization can the vast need of relief and reconstruction overseas. That so many millions of helpless people may be helped, that they can be given new hope for'the future, .is one of the chief goals of these many organizations. Last year, Church World Service shipped m aterials amounting to more than eight million dollars to 50 foreign countries. These relief shipments included about 24 mil lion pounds of farm products, clothing, bedding, medicines, hos pital equipment and miscellaneous items. But Church World Service knows that more, much more is needed. It is for that reason that the uni fied campaign of “One Great Hour of Sharing” is to be conducted so that all who wish to may have a hand in the organization’s humani tarian work. PADUCAH: War Capital? The city of Paducah, Ky., more famous as the birthplace of Irvin Cobb and the home of Vice-Pres ident -Barkley than for most any thing else, wasn’t any too happy about a new honor which might come to it. The city had been proposed by Rep. John Rankin (D., Tenn.) as the United States' secondary cap ital in the event of war. . The representative’s proposal met with definitely mixed feelings. The most frequently heard'plaint was, “Why do they want to pick on Paducah? We’ve always lived quietly and peacefully, and would like to continue living that way.” SEVERAL PADUCAHANS got a lot of humor put of Rankin’s saying that one reason Paducah should be the war capital is that “it is close to Mammoth cave.” Paducah na tives knew that Mammoth cave is 150 miles from Paducah, and, as several put it, that would be quite a dash to make in the event of an atomic bombing. Giving a serious answer to Ran- 'kin’s proposal, John Oehlschlaeger, president of the Paducah chamber of commerce, said: “REPRESENTATIVE RANKIN’S plans poses such a gigantic prob lem it would be silly for me to com ment on it at this time. But I might ask this question. Can you con ceive of the sudden shifting of the capital of 150 million people from a metropolitan center to a town of 45,000 population? Think of the problems of housing, providing ad equate building space, and traffic, to mention only a few, that the town would face.” It would be a big problem, in deed, and one likely to be so im mense that Representative Ran kin’s proposal will probably never get out of its original stage. Muscling In 'M of Defense Move Ever since World War H there has been considerable discussion oi a proposal to scatter U.S. agencies and industrial manufacturing cen ters so that in the event of anothei war the nation would not face Uie threat of complete paralysis from bombing attacks. Now, the proposal had - the sup port of the'head of the office ol civilian defense, Dr. Paul J. Lan sen. signed with the Pirates. TRUMAN AIDE: Red Link Charged In all the hysteria over Soviet spying In connection with the A- bomb and the - H-bomb, there was a general tendency to hurl charges and let the result attempt to justify the action. ' Latest, but highest circles to be linked with Communist front or ganizations, was a White House speech writer whom Senator Mc Carthy, Republican of Wisconsin charged was a fellow-traveler. MIRROR Of Your MIND ■ ■Child's Heroes Are Important By Lawrence Gould I Does it m atter whom a child picks as his heroes? Answer: Few things m atter more, for better or worse. For a child’s personality is largely formed through the process of “identifying himself” with the people whom he feels it would be most desirable to be—or to “be like”—and if these are cruel, vul gar or dishonorable, he will tend to follow their example. With a boy, heroes are usually chosen on the basis of their seeming strength or power, so it’s most important that the real or imaginary charac ters whose strength he admires— above all, his father—shall be worthy of his emulation. Will recalling last night’s dreams help you sleep? Answer: I am not sure, but it is worth trying. A friend told me recently that he habitually puts himself to sleep by reconstructing his dreams of the previous night and trying to go on from where he was in them when he woke up, and I realized that I had often done the same thing when my sleep was disturbed in the early morning hours. Since the func tion of dreams is to let you sleep by easing the tension that might keep you wakeful, if you can start dreaming in imagination, it may well serve as a short cut to real slumber. - Should you be afraid of being “under obligation”? Answer: Not too much so. To K sure, no self-respecting persor wants to think of himself as a sponger, but the fear of letting anyone do more for you than you can immediately repay can b« carried to neurotic extremes. Tc refuse to allow an old friend tc help you when you are in serious trouble is to picture him—at least, unconsciously—as gloating ovei you or wanting to get you under his thumb. Extrem e “independ- ance” which insists you never shall be beholden to anyone may be your defense against a secret wish to be dependent.

Barton ONE OF THE commonest skin ailments, which is really be lieved to be a virus (tiny organism) infection of the nervous system is Herpes Zoster or shingles, as it is usually called. There is no special treatment needed, as shingles runs Its own course. The outstanding point about shin gles is that it runs a Course of four to six weeks, and then clears up. The patient is assured that he will never have a second attack, just as in such diseases as typhoid and scarlet fever. There are, however, many suffer ers with shingles who will tell you that their particular attack lasted for months, not weeks/ and they have had more than one attack. Skin and nerve specialists state that Uie reason some cases last for months and second attacks occur is because the patient, by scratch ing the skin, infects it with other organisms which, of course, delay recovery. These other organisms decrease the power or effect of the shingles organism, so that its ef fects on the body are not sufficient to arouse enough body resistance tc prevent another attack of shingles. In “The Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery a n d Psychiatry,” London, Drs. C. W. M. Whitty and A.M. Cook, describe three patients with shingles, all of whom showed myelitis (inflammation of the spina] cord) as a complication. Two of these cases had sevral attacks of shingles in different lo cations in the body over a period of two or three months, thus show ing a difference from the usual be- virus which confers lifelong immu nity by a single attack. The third patient had a zoster in fection brought on by injury to the fifth nerve. Sometimes subsequent attacks are brought on by injury in the form of a growth such as can cer or tuberculosis. Should shingles occur, have the patient try to avoid scratching the eruption, and should the attack be prolonged, have the family physi cian consulted to prevent complica tions or treat any complications which may be present.

This is because a great deal of equipment now used for making atom bombs can be reused or eas ily converted to the production of H-bombs. Officials of the atomic en ergy commission also have in formed the committee behind closed doors that the hydrogen bomb can be made for consid erably less than the estimated two-hillion-dollar cost of the original atom bomb. The atom chief reveals, in fact, that all they would need to get started on production of the H-bomb is 80 million dollars chiefly for special facilities and new labora tory equipment. Tliis amount is already well on the way to congressional approval, being included in the 450 million deficiency appropriation bill that passed the house, though only a few house members knew they were voting for H-bomb funds. Taff Applauds Harry When President Truman ad dressed congress recently, senate Majority Leader Scott Lucas, sit ting beside Senators Ken Wherry of Nebraska and Bob Taft of Ohio, had to do the applauding for the Republicans. Finally he whis pered to Wherry: “After all, this is the President of the United States. You ought to applaud whether you mean it or not.” Wherry moved his hands polite ly, but Taft kept his folded. Finally Lucas nudged Wher ry again and asked him to sug gest that Taft applaud, too. Taft ignored this, until Tru man came to his appeal for a national science foundation, which Taft has endorsed. At this mention, Taft clapped wildly. Then he turned to Lucas and re marked dryly: “I want you to know that I have complied with your request.” Remaking John L. Lewis Washington’s rough - and - tumble news photographers, who have seen about everything, are flabber gasted at “The new John L. Lewis.” In the old days when Lewis was asked to pose for a picture, the answer was a snarl or a view of his back. But today, when the boys clamor “just one more,” Lewis is as sweet as a fairy godmother. He will even make gestures. Credit goes to his new public relations expert, Justin McCarthy, who has convinced Lewis that one way to make friends and influence people is to be nice to the photog raphers. The Other Lewis Sitting in sessions with the coal operators, however, Lewis is an other man—as witness the “You- are-a-liar-by-the-clock” charge hurled at George Love, president of the Pittsburgh Consolidation Coal Company. What inspired this piece of ver bal gunplay was Love’s testimony at the fact-finding inquiry that Lewis had declared during negotia tions with the operators that he had 400,000 coal miners “in the palm of his hand” and urged the operators to bid for their labor. Love was referring to a closed- door meeting at which Lewis charged that the operators were controlled by “bankers” who wanted to make “slaves” of the miners. When Love insisted that Lewis offer some specific pro posals for a new work contract, the mine labor boss replied: “This is our bargaining tech nique. It is a poor, poor thing, but it is the best we have. Our labor is what we have to offer. You cannot work the mines without men,” Then Lewis extended a cupped hand and added: “I have 400,000 miners. What am I bid?” However, later Love said that Lewis had 400,000 miners in the palm of his hand, the mine boss said it was an “infamous lie” and added for emphasis, “Mr. Love, you are a liar by the clock.” Truman’s Bibles President Truman got into a dis cussion of Bibles the other day after Senator Humphrey of Min nesota presented him with gavel made by Vigo Rasmussen, a Dan ish cabinetmaker from Minnea polis. “You know,” smiled the Pres ident, “I collect just two things— gavels and Bibles.” “With those two you should be able to keep law and order,” re plied Humphrey. BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Quality of Mercy Was Strained When Mantell Played 'Richard1 By BILLY ROSE- A few years back, I got the nobby notion 6t reviving “Henry V m ,” by one W. Shakespeare, and the day after the first three-line announcement appeared on the drama pages my office was cram- jammed with well known actors who were willing to work for what ordinarily would have been their agents’ commissions.Subsequently, for reasons that have nothing to do with this piece, I pigeon-holed my plans for doing “Henry,” but I sure learned a lot about show folks during the month I was buddying up-to the Bard. To nine out of ten of them. I found the pentameters of William the Great a r e th e chocolate sauce on the profit role a n d during re hearsals they go obout their busi ness as if they were in a temple of worship. On opening night, as tar as the cast is concerned, the theater has stained glass windows, and I’m not exaggerating when I say the ac tors would probably kill anyone who tried to foul up the perform ance. If you think I’m using “kill1 Billy Bose you carelessly, tighs . . . . try this usmg one on for BACH IN 1904, an obscure thes- pian named Robert Mantell, who had been playing desultory one- nighters in the Midwest, received word that a Choice Broadway thea ter would be available during the Christmas season. He promptly cancelled his -road engagement and brought his troupe to New York, but shortly after his arrival he dis covered that the “choice” theater he had been offered, was the Prin cess, a small second-story audi torium on Broadway between 27th Emd 28th streets. No more daunted than solvent, Mantell announced he would pre sent his production of trRichard III** on December J, and when friends and colleagues warned him that not a hundred people would climb a flight of rickety stairs to see a Shakespearean play during the holidays, he shrugged his thread bare shoulders and posted his re hearsal schedule. Immediately, however, there was trouble. The stage crew in sisted on a scenic rehearsal, and when the impoverished actor re fused they decided to get even by lousing up his show on opening night. On the evening of the 5th, a minute after Mantell began to deci bel his way through the initial lines a stagehand lunged at him from be hind a cloth drop and almost knocked him into the pit. And a few moments later the same “ac cident” happened again. When the act was over, Mantell quietly told the crew that he would kill the next man who tried to dis rupt his performance—and halfway through the second act he darned near did. In the middle of a speech, he saw the outline of a hand behind the curtain trying to locate him and, never faltering in his lines, he drew his dagger and plunged the blade full-force into the drop. When he went into the wings at the end of the scene, one of the crew grabbed him and said. “You’ve killed our head carpenter.” “I hope to Heaven I did,” said Mantell. But when he examined the stagehand he found the wound was only a gash in the thigh. T H E R I G H T E O U S B Y G R A C E N O L L C R O W E L L F FRIEND, do you mourn die passing ‘ O f some loved one today? Trytotememberthatoften "He taketh die righteous away From the evil to come."

TO MAKE SURE no one would misunderstand how he felt, the ac tor went up to his dressing room and came down wearing the iron- studded glove that was part of his costume in the last act. “Any more trouble,” he said, “and I shall brain each and every one of you.” The stagehands looked at Man tell, at the mailed glove, and at the bleeding man on the Boor. And from then until the final curtain, the crew was as quiet as a Scottish The Fiction * Corner IRONCUD excuse By Richard H. Wilkinson SHORTLY AFTER his m arriage to Lynn Harvey it became evi dent to Burt Englewood that his wife was a procrastinator of the first order. This was annoying because Burt was used to order and system and routine and regular schedules. He had definite time for doing things, end he did them as planned. He was never late for an appointment, end never left articles of clothing strewn around. He never set over until tomorrow things that could be done today. Despite his annoyance, Burt tried to be fair. He realized that _____________ there must be 3 U. certain things • MiniltS about h is own Fiction habits that proveddistracting to Lynn. And so, instead of complaining, he en deavored to discover his own faults and rectify them -in the hopes that she would take notice and try to improve her own deficiencies. But no m atter to what ends he went his endeavors and sacrifices made no impression whatever on Lynn. She continued blithely to procrastinate, and the blase inno cence with which she accomplished it fairly caused Burt to writhe. At length he was driven to complaint. The occasion was provoked by a bureau drawer void of socks when Burt was in sore need of these ar ticles of apparel. “Good heavens, Lynn!” he blurted. “I own two dozen pairs of the things. Certainly there must be one washed and mended.” Lynn’s eyes widened. She looked apologetic and contrite. “Darling! I’m so sorry. I in tended to finish them up last night, bnt as you know, the Westlands dropped in and I simply couldn’t.” Which was true. After awhile Burt began to sus-' pect his wife of strategy, of manu facturing excuses for the sole pur- “ . . . you’re just downright lazy, and I don’t mind telling you it’s getting on my nerves.” pose of evading the inconvenience of household duties. He began to suspect her of being lazy. The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became and present ly he accused her openly. Lynn looked at him with a hurt and angry expression. “Burt Engle wood! You think that! Of all things! Why, I can’t believe it! And I have been trying to improve, too. Only— only I haven’t been feeling well lately. I’ve even thought of going to a doctor.” “Doctor!” Burt scoffed. “You don’t need any doctor. What you need is a little backbone and ambi tion! You’re just downright lazy, and I don’t mind telling you it’s getting on my nerves.” p O R A MONTH THINGS were * serene. And then one day Burt came home and found Lynn asleep on the living room couch, and the breakfast dishes still in the sink and dinner not yet started. He woke her roughly. “Well, what’s your iron-clad ex cuse this time? Have a pain in yor foot or something?” “No,” said Lynn, “it’s in my side. I don’t know what it is, Burt. Besides, I was dreadfully tired. I’m awfully sorry.” “Tired? Lazy, you mean!” Lynn sighed and started for the kitchen. “All right, Burt. I’m sor ry you don’t believe me.” Burt was mightily pleased with himself. Moreover, it gave him a certain feeling of superiority, ap peased his vanity. Thus having satisfied himself that Lynn was once and for all definitely cured and having promised himself that he would never again break down when she offered her excuses, it was something of a shock to return home two days later and find her stretched full length on the couch. “Well,” he roared, “what is this, a game? There’s plenty to be done around here, yet you seem to find time enough to take a snooze. Just what is your excuse this time? Now don’t tell me you’re sick or something. That gag’s worn out.” But Lynn didn’t move. She lay there, very still. And presently Burt came nearer, bent down to peer at her face. A horrible, sick ening fear clutched at his heart; a wretched sense of shame and guilt and self-condemnation. For Lynn had an iron-clad ex cuse at last that was flawless. meeting house after a call for con tributions.

Recently, Theresa Helbum of the Theatre Guild offered to let me buy a small piece of “As You Like It,” starring Katharine Hepburn. “In all fairness,” she said, “I think I ought to tell you that Katy’s con tract is only until June.” “I’m not going to brood about that,” I said. “The play is by Shakespeare, and if it gets over, I doubt whether Hollywood will see her again until both she and the scenery fall apart.” C U D PIiilE IAST WEEK'S ANSWER ■ ACROSS I.

She prefers adult roles, but teen-age ones haunt her, because she looks the part in real life. Prob ably her favorite role, however, is MONA FREEMAN that of mother. Her daughter, Mona, who must be enchanting, is three. One of the year’s most pleasant in terviews was the recent one with Miss Freeman and her husband, m New York for “Dear Wife” , which was barely mentioned, because the stories they told about their little girl were so completely delightful. When two “Truth or Conse quences” contestants failed to com plete a consequence—falling asleep in Chicago’s Union Terminal for a $5,000 prize — Ralph Edwards re ceived an avalanche of letters. More than 350 listeners said they could fall asleep in the railroad station without half trying, and asked for a chance to prove it. Jack Buetel got into the movies with no trouble at all. Three weeks after he reached Hollywood and be gan trying for a screen career, Howard Hughes picked him to por tray Billy the Kid in “The Outlaw” . Jean Hersholt (renewed as “Dr. Christian” for five years) really heeded a doctor when he finished signing 2,500 copies of his translation of Hans Chris tian Anderson’s fairy tales for the Heritage club.

Serve creamed vegetables in cooked cases of green peppers, onions, carrots, toast, or nests of noodles, potatoes, or rice. Serve jelly or cranberry garnish in small paper cups or on slices of orange or pineapple, halves of peaches, pears, or in some other servable way. Arrang^ the m eat platter to make serving easy. Allow room for carv ing and do not over-crowd. The host will appreciate this. Consider variety of textures, soft with solid foods, as creamed meat on toast with buttered string beans (not creamed potatoes and stewed tomatoes). Avoid all one type of cooking as meat croquettes, French fried on ions, pan-fried potatoes.

TheLivingFaith Lesson for March 19, 1950 IUfANY a funeral sermon has “ ^ been preached over the Chris tian church, but somehow the corpse never stays put. What keeps it go ing? AU sorts of explanations have been given by unsympathetic out siders. The church (we are told) is an upper-class hobby, or a lower- class opiate; it is a social club, it is a burial society; it panders to pride, or it is a perverse form of self - tor ture; it is kept aUve by a well- r u n organization. Such explanations do not explain. The truth is at heart quite simple: The Church is kept alive by faith. What is Christian faith, the faith of the church? A study of the Scripture for this week, or a broader search through the New Testament from end to end, will convince any impartial reader of the falsehood of some of the notions about what Christian faith is. Some have claimed that it is nothing but faith in the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Let the reader try to find this in the New Testament if he can. If you had said this to an early Christian, he would have replied along this line: That is just the problem—how can we become sons of God? How can men achieve brotherhood? Others teU us that faith is belief in a series of doc trines. Let the reader search the New Testament and see if he can find there anything about faith in a creed. Sometimes this notion takes another form —that faith originally was a belief that Jesus’ beUefs were true; ' in other words, that faith is accepting the “religion of Jesus.” Now the church from the begin ning believed that Jesus’ thoughts were true thoughts; but faith was never a simple second-hand ac ceptance of any one’s creed, not even that of Jesus. The faith we find in the New Testament is none of these things. Still less is it faith in the saints, in Mary, or. in an “infallible” church. * * * Faith: Not About, But In . . . •THE FAITH that broke out in * glorious light in those early days of the church, and has con tinued shining down through the centuries, was not belief about any thing or anybody, it was belief IN Some One; and that Scme One was Jesus Christ. There is a simply astonishing variety of ways in which he is spoken of in the New Testament. He is Son of Man, he is teacher and healer, he is the first-born of many brothers; he is Priest and Sacrifice, he is the Propitiation, the Reconciler of men to God; he is M aster and Lord, he is the Word— that is, what God has to say to us; he is the Son of God, he sits on the throne of the universe, he will judge every man; he is the pattern for every man’s character. To put it quite bluntly, the church believed (and still believes) in a supernatural Christ and not only in a human Jesus. They believed in him as a teacher, as the Teacher indeed; but not merely as one whose teachings had heen inter rupted by an untimely death. They did not “play down” his death, on the contrary they played it up. Christ crucified for us is al ways strongly in their minds. But they were far from leaving him as it were on a crucifix. Any form of Christianity that thinks of Jesus chiefly as a Christ mas baby; or a starry-eyed ideal ist; or as a pathetic figure hanging on a crucifix is a perversion of New Testament ways of thought. Everywhere in the center is the Christ who “was dead and is alive forevermore.”... There Is No Other JX YOIJNG MOSLEM who became “ a Christian and is very happy about it, was asked what it was that changed him, for Moslems are hard to change. It was not an argu ment, he said, it was the lives of some missionaries in Iran whom he knew. He wanted what they had—it was as simple as that. And he went on to say this: “Christian ity doesn’t have much in theol ogy that Mohammedanism doesn’t have. There is just'one thing Christianity has that we didn’t have, nor anything like it; Jesus Christ.” That is what—that is who wins men today, and that was the secret of the early church, and that is the secret today of the living church everywhere: Christ alive by faith in the lives of those who love him.

WHITMAN Old Plaster Walls Failing Badly QUESTION: I live in an old brick house, over fifty years old. Recently, the inside wall of the exposed side of the kitchen has cracked in any number of places —not the ordinary cracking of plaster, but gaping cracks show ing sand to pour out. In places so much sand has come out that holes are enlarging. The wall on the outside has been pointed up, painted with asbestos paint and house paint; the inside wall has many times been scraped, shel lacked and painted, but the peel ing and cracking return in a few months. ANSWER: I make the guess that the plaster was applied di rectly on the outside brickwork, with no air space between. This would explain the failure of the plaster because of repeated chill ing and consequent condensation of moisture on the walls, leading to deterioration of the plaster. Some plasterers cut the job short by simply putting up m etal lath and replastering over it. H my guess is wrong, and the old plaster was applied over lath on furring strips, you could have all the plast er well scraped and a plaster-like preparation applied with a trowel, to give a smooth, even surface. This is a type of bonding plaster, the name of which you can obtain from the Architects Samples Ex hibit, 101 Park Avenue, New York 17.

H a d a c o l Is P r a is e d A t F a m o u s S p a HADACOL has SPECIAL OFFICE IN HOT SPRINGS TO HELP SUFFERERS ' 17 I ' Wm M BS. JEN N IE W EBB Hot Springs National Par*., (SpeciaI)-Health is a major topic of conversation In this world famous Spa and more and more conversation turns to the marvelous, health-giv ing blessings being brought to so many by HADACOL. Realizing the importance of Hot Springs as a health center, Dudley JT. LeBlanc, Pounder and President of IieBIanc Corporation, makers of HADACOL, established an office in H ot. Springs to advise suffering folks on how HADACOL can benefit their systems with its wealth of B Vitamins and important Minerals. In this HADACOL office in Hot Springs are records of folks who have found improved health in a bottle of HADACOL. That is one reason why per capita sales of HADACOL in Hot Springs are among the highest in the country. Take for instance Mrs. Jennie Webb, who'shares a new home at 237 Cones Road in Hot Springs with her daughter and son-in-law. Mrs. Webb has a host of friends through* out Arkansas who were thrilled to know that HADACOL helped her in a wonderful recovery after several years of illness. Here is Mrs. Webb's statement: wI started taking HADACOL in the early fall, buying two of the econ- omy-size bottles of HADACOL. I had been feeling weak and rundown for several years. I suffered the horrors of gastric disturbances and indigestion. I had to be very careful in the selection of food that would agree with me. I had tried so many remedies without beneficial results and had just about given up hopes of feeling well again. Friends urged me to try HADACOL. I have never regretted their advice because I have felt better than at any time in years. I digest food better and do not have indigestion. I have more energy.” Mrs. Webb was suffering a de ficiency of B- Vitamins and important Minerals, which HADACOL contains.A lack of only a small amount of B Vitamins and certain Minerals will cause digestive disturbances... • Your food wiU 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. iu.uuy 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 con- tained in HADACOL. And if you suffer from such disorder, there, is no medicine, drug or treatment that, will cure you except the administration of Vitamins and Minerals which your system lacks. HADACOL contains not only one, but five of the B Vitamins. HADACOL contains not only one, but four of the necessary Minerals. It comes to you in liquid form, easily assimi lated in the blood stream so that it can go to work right away. You can- . not be satisfied with just temporary relief. HADACOL attacks and cures the source of such deficiency diseases.It is easy to understand, therefore, why countless thousands have al ready been benefited by this amazing tonic, HADACOL. Accept no substitute—insist on the genuine- 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 suf fering! 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 sup plied the Vitamins and Minerals which their systems needed. Be fair to yourself. Give HADACOL a triaLWe are so firm in our belief that HADACOL will help you that we sell HADACOL on a money-back guarantee. K you don’t feel perfect ly satisfied after using HADACOL as directed, just return the empty carton and your money will be cheer fully refunded.

MARCH 15 1950 Blood Pressure Influenced By Diet, Physicians Show FJxoerittiental proof that protein, efloi'ies and salt have a "profound inf ufncc ” on blood pressure and length of life has been demon strated by two Duke University physicians. Drs. Philip Handler and Fred erick Bernheim1 Duke biochemists, have just completed what is be lieved to be the first definitive study of the effect of diet on experimen tal renal (kidney) high blood pres sure. Implications of the study may be •f great significance, but the Duke scientists point out that it is too •arly to make definite predictions. The investigators produced in white rats conditions resembling those in humans who suffer from high blood pressure due to kidney disorders, but they say that “at this time it cannot be stated with certainly w hether hypertension created in this way is similar to any type of high blood pressure trouble known to man.” High blood pressure was pro duced in the rats by removing all of one kidney and about one-half of the other. Rats were then fed diets containing varying amounts of protein, calories and salt, and the effect of the diets was meas ured by noting the blood pressure levels and length of life. Drs. Handler and Bemheim made use for the first time of “synthetic rations” containing the required amounts of protein, calories and •alt. Careful record was kept of daily food consumption of each rat throughout the experiments. The results: Rats always developed high blood pressure when fed commercial ani mal foods after the kidney opera tion was performed. However, blood pressures were always nor mal when rats given any kind of diet were prevented from eating more than two-thirds of the amount they would have eaten of their own accord. When placed on a low protein diet, the rats- tlocd pressures soon dropped to normal levels unless the diet eop'Tmsd an overwhelming amount of sait. In ar.hnnls fed high protci- b'Vi? Invariably developed high biocd pr-Vsure even though they gi,-. nr, salt. Beafh Toil From Trafflo R u sh es 31,560 In 1949 America has paid itself a 1949 dividend of about 500 lives saved in motor vehicle traffic, the National Safety council announced after add- i- ‘ up the death list for U months. The final traffic death toll tor 1949 is esthnated by the council at s'-iut 31.500. Last year it was 32,- 00). For November alone traffic deaths totaled 3.029—2 per cent more than in the same month of 1948. This boosted the 11-month toll to 28,350 —a decrease of 2 per cent as com pared with the same period last year. Mileage figures are available for 10 months, the council said. For that period, travel is estimated at 350.6 billion miles—a 6 per cent increase over the same period last year. Thus the death rate per 100 million miles was 7.2 for the 10 months, as compared with 7.9 for the same period in 1948. Of the 44 states reporting for No vember, 15 reported decreases in deaths, three had no change and 26 showed increases. For the 11-month period, 29 had decreases and 15 showed increases. Birth Rate About 3.7 million babies were bom in the United States in 1949. It was the third year in succes sion in which the number j> f births exceeded 31T millions, which is un precedented in the country’s his tory. The 1949 figure is virtually the same as for 1948. and only five per cent below the all-time peak reached in 1947. The general health record of the country was also ex traordinarily good in 1949. Pres ent indications are that the death rate of the year was about 9.7 per 1,000, or about 2 per cent under th* previous minimum set in 1948. Rubber on ’50 Autos Owners of 1950 automobiles are tiding around on a cushion of 94 to 143 pounds of rubber (depending en the model). Rubber parts, such Os: weatherstrip for windshields and windows, floor mats, dust •eals; accelerator, clutch and brake pedals; rubber arm rests, wind shield wipers, body shims, motor mounts, fan belt, radiator and heater hose, battery boxes, lamp gaskets, airfoam seats, etc., ac count for 70 to 100 pounds of rub ber, while tires and tubes range from 24 to 43 pounds, depending on size and style. Light Tear The year is a measure of time, and the light year one of length, like the mile. Light travels about 186,000 miles per second; in a year it will go about 5,880,000,000,- 000 miles, and this is one light year. Sirius, the nearest bright night-time star in the northern sky. is 8.6 light years away, while the most distant objects observed by the 200-inch telescope are about a bil’ion light yecrs dirtc-t. D o Y o u W a n t T o C u t Y o u r F e d e r a l T a x e s ? Something For Nothing Tou know that you can’t keep draw ing money out of your bank account without ever putting any in. The bank doesn’t play that way. This is also true of Federal financing. Every dollar spent must sooner or later be collected in the form of taxes. Many of these taxes are hidden, such as the 32.44 you pay on a 330 radio, or the 62 cents on the average alarm dock. These are in addition to the direct taxes of which the average citizen is painfully aware. Tax money is necessary to run our government. But all too much of It is wasted by inefficiency, duplication of effort, overlapping of Federal agencies or appropriations for ser vices to pressure groups. Heretofore, no one has known how much these government services cost us through waste and inefficiency. But some surprising facts have been revealed by the Commission on the Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government. This twelve-man, bi-partisan Commission was created by Congress with the approval of the President. At the suggestion of Mr. Truman, former President Hoover was made its Chairman. The Army, Navy, and Air Force asked for $30 ,billions of appropria tions after being told that 315 billions was all the Nation could afford. The Army applied for 829,000 tropical uni forms at 3139 a piece and homes for military personnel in Alaska at $58,- 000 apiece. Yet every dollar spent In such activities comes out of your pocket in the form of taxes. Fifty Federal agencies jostle each other collecting statistics at-an annual cost to you, the taxpayer, of $43,000,- 000. Many of the statistics are of use only to small groups, or collect dust in government files. The Corps of Army Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation are ex pert at selling the “something for nothing” idea to the American public. Underestimation of costs appears to be their specialty. The original price tag put on the Colorado-Big Thomson project was 344 millions. Its final cost was $131,800,000. Sudi discrepancies, the Commission wryly notes, “hardly Cani be explained by increases In labor and material costs.” You may obtain information about how you can fight waste and in efficiency in our government by writ ing to the Citizens Committee for Re organization of the Executive Branch of the Government, 1421 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia 2, Penna. Also write your Congressman! Tell him you want laws enacted which will put into effect tile suggestions of the Commission! Shad* T rtts May Succumb T t Drought This W inter The drought that has caused the current water shortage in cities has hit the trees that grow on the lawn and line the streets just as se verely. "A great number of shade trees may die by next spring because of lack of water,” Dr. Rush P. Mar shall, director of the Bartlett Tree research laboratories, warns. Ever greens and conifers will suffer most. AU trees, says Dr. Marshall, must take up a certain amount of water during the winter. The func tions of a tree do not stop in win ter, but merely slow down. Decidu ous trees that drop their leaves lose a certain amount of water through transpiration in the bark. Conifers lose more through their needles. Unless the lost moisture is re placed, winter injury results and damage shows up the following spring. Winter damage may occur to the roots, too. When the soil is dry and the air spaces are not filled, with water, the roots of trees dry out and die. Shallow-rooted trees growing on unfavorable conditions become the first to die. During the last great fall-and-winter drought, some years ago, hundreds of oak trees died out. particularly on ridges. Tneir twigs died back and the leaves failed t*. come out. Many of the soft m—V put forth but half their norma! foliage, then fruited heavily, na ture’s permonition that death vnulo come soon. Dr. Marshall says that a blanket of snow this winter wu, shade trees. The snow will proven/ deep freezing of roots and at pro -ir' level will melt sufficiently to keo- the upper soil moist. In some area; there still may be sufficient surface rain before the ground freezes l< tide some trees over the winter eve" though no blanket of snow follows.

Slash Government Cost If your persona) or business ex penses go up and your income and efficiency come down this year at the same rate as that of the Federal Gov ernment, you will be in the hands oI the sheriff at an early date. Workers, farmers, and businessmen from Maine to California know this. The answer is in the Report of the Commission on the Organization of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government. This twelve-man, bi partisan Commission was unanimously created by Congress with the approval of the President. At the suggestion of Mr. Truman, former President Hoover was made its Chairman and Secretary of State Dean Acheson, Vice Chairman. The late president Franklin D. Roosevelt long had ad vocated such a reorganization of the government. There is a two-fold purpose behind the effort to reorganize the Executive j Branch of the Government: One—the * elimination of the inefficiency caused by overlapping and duplication; two— this should lead to a reduction of your taxes. If our Government can save from three to four billion dollars a year by more efficient methods of con ducting our business, failure to act is stupid short-sightedness. Action, however, depends upon the President and Congress. The Presi dent has already submitted a number of reorganization recommendations, i The Congress has adopted several of | these, most important having to do I with the housekeeping of the armed forces, which save the taxpayer more than $600,000,000 a year. But these are only first steps. There will be more ahead if Congress is made to realize Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer want more tax-saving economies. Congress men and Senators will vote for just so many of the Commission’s recommen dations as you. their constituents, demand. What can you, as an individual, do about it? The answer is to write your_ Congressman and Senators. Tell them you want the Recommendations of the Commission on the Organization of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government made the law of the land.

Rust Over 2,000 Years Old Helps In Corrosion Fight Two-thousand-year-old rust is helping modem science tight cor rosion, which costs machine-age America billions of dollars a year. Dr. Earle R. Caley of Ohio State university has reported. Chemists aiding in archeological investigations have paid special at tention to the composion of the cor rosion products of ancient metals and alloys, according to Dr. Caley, who said such studies “throw con siderable light on the mechanism of metal corrosion and on the rela tionship between chemical compo sition and resistance to corrosion.” Corrosion is only one of many fields in which chemical analysis of ancient materials is contributing valuable knowledge, Dr. CaIey said.. The results of such analyses, for example, help the rrcheologist h’m- zelf to interpret his findings, art) they indicate to the museum cura tor the proper methods to apolv in !he restoration and preservation of antique objects. None of the studies so far com pleted has indicated that ancient oeoples discovered and used any technical methods or produced any artificial products that cannot be duplicated today, Dr. Caley stated. “From the technical standpoint.” he asserted, “our modern materials are better, though from the artistic standpoint there is often no such superiority apparent in the use of m aterials.” Town Built to Fight Flv In Northern Nigeria a new town is rising named Takalafiya. which means ‘Walk in Health.’ With its wide, mahogany - lined streets elementary school, modern diaper sary and spacious market. Takala fiya is a symbol of the new Africa But one mile to the east of tiv* thriving community is the squal'd densely-populated town of Old An chau, formerly district headquarters and center of local government for the Anchau area. Until recently RH per cent of its 2,500 inhabitants'suf fered from guinea-worn infection caused by impure water. One third of them had sleeping sickness. Tak alafiya was built as part of a mass campaign against the tsetse-fly. the insect which causes sleeping-sick ness. Basis of Shellac Shellac is a durable, transparent coating made from lac. This is a resinous secretion of a scale insect that lives on various types of trees and shrubs in tropical countries— especially India; After the dirt is removed, the lac is prepared in the form of thin flakes which are dissolved in alcohol to form shel lac. One of the most durable finish, es known for floors and furniture, shellac is also widely used for first coat*, on wood and plaster. Roof Cement Saves Fuel Roof cement, a product of the paint industry which is used for repairing leaks and cracks in roofs of all descriptions, helps to cut down fuel bills by increasing com bustion efficiency. This is possible because of its faculty for adhering to brick and mortar, remaining elastic and expanding or contract ing with the surface to which it is attached. It can also be applied to the brick and concrete settings of boilers, furnaces, kilns, oil stills and all other heating equipment to prevent oil infiltration.

(So far as we know this law has never been repealed. Editor.) More Important Than Money Rev. Walter E. hen hoar, Mitfh Point. R 4. There are many things in life that are far more Important than money, even though m ultitudes of people let money have first place in their lives. Paul tells us. "T he love mouey is the root of all evil (I Tim . 6 :10). Men who love money more than they love God oftentimes stoop to dishonesty, de ceit. and even crime, to gain mon. ev. Many leave God out of their lives and devote their tim e and tal ents solelv to money-making. The height of their aims, plans and purposes Is to make money. Per haps they give no thought to the salvation of tbeir souls, which is of first and supreme Importance. W e realize indeed that salvation is of far more Importance than money. A good name, good char acter, honesty and a noble princi ple Is of more importance than mo- nev nnd the wealth of the world. To love God supremely, and to love all mankind out of a pure, tender heart, to win precious souls and devote one’s life to helping aud blessing others, Is more Important than monev. To earn money hon. estly, aud to devote it to God’s cause means that it can prove a great blesslne. Otherwise, when one earns monev wrong and soends it foolishly, or supports the wrong things with it, or hoards it awav, then it becomes a hindrance to him in life, or hecomes a curse to him and to his fellowmen. A solrit of love and kindness, and a life devoted to God and ho liness. is a thousand times more im portant than money. It Is more Important to make friends than monev: to live oraverfuHy and god- tv than make monev. It i« far more im portant to make friends than monev: to Hve prayerfully and godlv than make monev. It Is far more Im portant to helo our fellowmen find Christ, and help thou live for H*m, and help them heavenward, than make monev. Some men do all the good they ^an withont monev. while others ■lo all the harm they can with mo nev. Mav God give ns souls in stead of money, or give us souls m d money.

The baby had cried and fretted all day and the young mother was nearly frantic. When her husband came home in the evening, she de scribed her experience. “Well, remember,” he told her cheerfully, “the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” About 8:30, with the baby crying again, she said to hubby: “I’m going to a movie, darling, so for the next couple of hours you assume world domination.” Sort of Casual A local citizen was walking down town one morning when a stranger addressed him: “Do you know where the post office is?” “Yes,” answered the citizen, af fably, and walked on without further reply. After proceeding for about ten steps he looked back, and inquired in his turn, “Why? Did you want to know?” “No,” replied the stranger, with great earnestness,' and then, the account having been balanced, the two walked away in opposite di rections. Factual Report A local forecaster of the weather was so often wrong in his predic tions that he became the laughing stock of the community. He, there fore, asked headquarters to trans fer him to another station. A brief correspondence ensued. “Why,” asked headquarters, “do you wish to be transferred?” “Because,” the forecaster promptly replied, “the climate doesn’t agree with me.” Farm News D ear Sweet Potato G row er— W ith the reduction in acreage o f o ther crops, especially cotton and peanuts, a large increase in sweet potato acreage is expected i n N orth C arolina and other sweet potato producing states o f the South.

In the winter, the temperature was kept automatically at 70 degrees and the stenographers who worked there never once complained of the cold. The following summer the walls were painted a dull slate blue and soon after the next winter be gan the stenographers started to complain of feeling cold. Frequent ly they wore sweaters and coats at their work. Pointing out that the thermometer constantly regist ered 70 degrees—just as it had the previous winters—didn’t do the slightest good. It was necessary to keep the heat several degrees high er for the balance of the cold sea son. The trouble was traced to the “coldness” of the slate blue wall color and before winter came again the walls were repainted in a warm, but light, tint. taineer’s voice returns to him from the cliff wall.

Oar County And Social Security Bv W . K . W hite. M anager. T here's a song o f recent years that has in ir the phrase, ‘‘It’s easy to rem em ber bu t so hard Co for get.” W ell, folks, that phrase, when applied to Social Security, works this way. It is easy to re m em ber that there are “Tw o Tim es For A ction” w ith respect to Social Security benefits, “W or kers, when you are 65 aud Survi vors, w hen the w orker dies.” N ow isn’t th at easy to remem ber? Now , let’s see how the “hard to forget” part o f the phrase fits in. W ell it’s this way. It’s hard to forget the m oney you lost because you didn’t rem em ber that you had to file an application in order to get benefits. Benefits are paid re troactively only 3 m onths. Individuals are losing benefits everv m onth because they fail to inquire o r file. Som e think they m ust be in need to receive bene fits. O thers think perhaps “there’s nothing to it—it w ouldn’t am ount to m uch.’J Old-Age and Surviv ors Insurance benefits are payable as a m atter o f right. A person doesn’t have to be in need to get the benefits. If he o r she has w orked on jobs covered bv the Social Security A ct long enough to be insured, benefits w ould be payable, regardless o f w hether o r no t the person is in need.

Regardless of the political party in power, this is not a pleasant kind of internal security precaution to contemplate. Nevertheless, after the Jackson- Jefferson Day dinner, someone be gan considering the gruesome ques tion as to what would have hap pened if an enemy had sent a sur prise plane over the Arctic Circle on February 16 and dropped an A-bomb on Washington. Not only were the President and Vice-President under the same roof, but also every member of the cabinet, the Democratic governors of 10 states and a good part of the senate and house of representa tives. The speaker was also present, and if such a catas trophe had occurred, it would have been up to a speaker pro tein to convene the house, while Senator McKellar would have had the power to convene the senate. Whether congress would "IYave then called for special elections, or whether the Republicans would have taken over the administration is a debatable question. Undoubtedly, however, the Re publicans would have had to take over for the time being, since few Democratic leaders would have been left, and since three to six months would have been necessary to make nominations and conduct the final balloting. There also would be the question of who would declare war with part of congress gone, and who would make the vital decisions neces sary to carry on a war. Tragic Possibilities These are just a few of the prob lems which aren’t pleasant to think about but which have to be considered in view of the now defi nite fact that Russia has all our atomic secrets. This is also why the administra tion, after inexcusably long delays, is finally and almost frantically working on civil defense, including an alternate capital of the United States. For, should a bomb be dropped on Washington, it would mean the destruction of all FBI fingerprints, all civil service rec ords, all veterans insurance and pension records, all military de fense plans, income-tax records, the Library of Congress and the government archives dating back to the beginning of the republic. In fact, there is some doubt whether the government could function at all immediately after the destruction of these records. A period of chaos would be certain, military plan ners fear, unless careful plans are made now for an alternate capital, with microfilmed rec ords stored there. Speculation is that an alternate capital would be safest somewhere in the Rocky Mountains, possibly Denver or Salt Lake City. John L. Lewis’ Judge Federal Judge Richmond Keech, the man who had been slapping John L. Lewis with those back-to- work court orders, was teethed on law enforcement. His father was a District of Columbia policeman. However, the 53-year-old jurist is not a chronic “crack-downer,” but a quiet, amiable man with a homespun air that belies his black robes. He also has a tremendous liking for people, particularly little people, a characteristic developed in the days when he used to-fight consumers’ battles against the pub lic utilities as people’s counsel of the district. Later Keech btcar-.e a member of the public utilit.es commission and served for a time as corpora tion coimsel of the D.C. govern ment before President Truman recognized his talents and made him a White House administrative assistant. His automobile also is easily rec ognizable. For years Judge Keech’s tag had been “16.” A bachelor, looking younger than his years, Keech would be a big success in the Washington social whirl, but he shuns it. His only concession to “high society” is an occasional ride with a hunt club in near-by Mary, land. I “ D ictator” McCarran Dictator Franco’s friend, Sen.

FOHEHAH SCRIPTUREt Romans 1:1, 7-15; 15:22-29; 16; Acts 27—28; Philippians 1:12- 20; 4:22.DEVOTIONAL READING: Isaiah 2:2-4. World-Wide Church Lesson for March 26, 1950 GOD WORKS his purposes out in ways that not even the wisest of his servants can foresee. A beau tiful example of this is the way Paul went to Rome. Long before he saw that city he wanted to preach there. All roads led to Rome, as they do to all world- capitals, and people went there from everywhere.* * * World Horizon When Paul writes to his “pen- friends” at Rome (15:22-29) of a projected trip to Jerusalem and Spain, taking in Rome on the way, he was laying out a trip to the east and west ends of civilization, the jumping-off places. His plan was as ambitious as if a modern evangelist would write to ■ story first he was jailed for protectior from a blood-hungry mob, then kept in jail on general principles (which is to say, the governor kept hoping he would pay well for an acquittal), and finally appealed to Rome, the highest court of the empire, Appeals were expensive and slow, then as now. But Paul must have come to look at his imprisonment, false as it was, as a heaven-sent op portunity, to make that journey to Rome., It was a gilt-edged accident insurance. Free, he might never escape the plot- . ters and reach Rome alive. Chained, th e. efficient Roman army would see that he ar rived—and he did. . Four pairs of eyes were on him night and day. No plotter could stick him with a dagger or shove him overboard. So—after some hair-breadth escapes to be sure— he was. delivered safe and sound in the very city of which he had been dreaming all these years.* * * The Church at the Hub Of the World Th e r e is n o th in g at an in the New Testament to indicate that the church at Rome was con sidered, by Paul or any one else, as The Church, or the Mother Church. There is no claim that it was founded by St. Paul, still less by St. Peter. It grew, as other churches grew, by infiltration. Christians w ho moved to the big city would get together, and there the church would be. Yet, of course, the Ro man church was important. It was important because it was at the hub of the civilized world. Paul did not seem to mind it in the least, that he could work only inside his prison, or “confined to quar ters.” Writing from his jail cell to the Philippians, he mentions converts from the army and from the im perial slaves. (“Caesar’s house hold” in Phil. 4:22 does not refer to the Emperor’s family, but to the retinue, of palace slaves.) We know from the letter to Philemon that Paul converted at least one “jailbird” named Onesimus. * * * The. True Church Is A Marching Church ■pAUL KNEW that a soul is a ■*■ soul, sitting in the emperor’s chair or waiting at the emperor’s table. Goa is no respecter of per sons. But he also knew that these Christian soldiers would not al ways stay in Rome; that even Christian slaves would be sold down the river; that the restless feet which brought their owners to Rome, would tike them away again. Great cities are like that. Putting down Christianity In Rome was not like putting a single seed into a sheltered corner of the garden. It was like scattering a handful of it to the orccre, to he carried far and wide. Paul’s vision is still the vision of the church at its best. 'The true church marches on, along - the high roads and byroads of the world. We shall never be content with a narrow, sheltered Christianity; We cannot be satisfied with half- world religion. Only world-Chris- tianity matches the grandeur of the New Testament ideal. (Copyright by the International Council of. Religious Education on behalf of 40 Protestant denominations.

Competition Sets Vacation Tour Costs Low For Yol U.S. NEW YO RK-Com petition is providing w inter vacationists more resorts to choose from this year—at lower prices—both at home and abroad.Besides that, similar rivalry among air lines, railroads and shipping lines offers the traveler improved services, and, in most cases, much lower rates than in past seasons. Florida and the Southwest are competing for the business of win ter vacationists seeking mild cli m ates. At the sam e time in the North, New York state winter re sorts are vying with those of New England for a larger share of the nation’s four million ski en thusiasts. In the Caribbean, dollar areas such as Cuba, Puerto Rico and Haiti are building new hotels and other tourist attractions to offset the lure of the British West Indies’ Nassau and Bermuda. In those sterling territories costs are down nearly a third in term s of dollars since the devaluation of the British pound. The buyers’ m arket in winter travel is further stimulated by the increase in cruises to Central America, the Mediterranean and the Hawaiian Islands. Besides the regular year - round schedules, many lines have arranged cruises by some of the biggest and best trans-ocean liners to boost the winter trade. Still another element of compe tition comes from the efforts of the European travel commission, which is promoting group jaunts out of season when costs are down. And the Irish, French, British and Portuguese tourist officers are urging Holy Year pilgrims to Rome to route trips through their countries. With all of those places making a special bid for visitors, the win ter travel business has turned in to a real buyers’ m arket for the first time since the war. Florida hotels in many cases are listing rates 15 per cent below last winter’s. Before December 15- official start of the southern sea son—accommodations could be had at 25 to 50 per cent under last year’s rates. In Miami alone, five million dollars spent on new buildings and redecoration has brought the total number of hotels to 360 with a total of 25,000 rooms. This is in addition to 1,400 apartm ent hotels with 15,000 living units. And just 70 miles off the Coast of Florida on Grand Bahama Is land, William Butlin, an operator of low-cost vacation resorts in England, plans to open an eight million dollar resort in January. Part of the program of develop ing out-islands of the Bahama group, Butlin’s project will ac commodate 2,000 guests. Arizona and New Mexico have expanded their resort activities to attract vacation dollars from those seeking to escape winter climates. At the same time, ski en thusiasts are finding more facili ties for that sport in Oregon and Washington where winter sports centers are being increased. The world championship com petitions of the world ski federa tion at Lake Placid, N. Y., and Aspen, Colo., are expected to at tract more interest — and more visitors—than ever with more and m ore people turning to that sport. On the transportation ,side, air lines to Florida are striving to in crease their take of 15 per cent of all travelers from New York to that state in 1948. At the same time, the Seaboard Airline Rail road and the Atlantic Coast Line have installed much new equip ment to hold on to the percentage of travelers they carried South last year. They expect new Pull mans and air-conditioned cars to offset the effect of the recent 12% per cent increase in rail fares granted Eastern railroads. Eastern Air Lines and National Air Lines have added more units to their fleets of planes to expand the coach service which meets the competition of non-scheduled air lines from New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. Similar competitive conditions prevail in service to the Carib bean where Colonial Airlines, Pan American and British Overseas Airways operate.

There was a serious question of how long the Labor government could stand as a result of its m eager majority in parliament. Added to that was the peril of an intra-party strife in which it was reported left-wingers in the party were planning a test of strength with more moderate lead ers of Attlee’s government. THE PROBLEM .was an easily obvious one: Should the Labor par ty walk easily, in the. face. of. its hairbreadth escape from defeat in the elections, or should it strike out boldly for continuation and expan sion of socialism? The primary interest in the elec tion for Americans was, of course, whether or not the British people were committed to more socialism and resultant nationalism of indus try and their way of' life, or had they grown apprehensive enough concerning the direction of govern m ent to change it? The answer was clear to the ex tent that a bare majority of the people are satisfied with condi tions—enough at least to return the Labor government to power. But, significantly enough, the balance of that power had waned so much in the past five years that it was almost nonexistent. WHAT DID IT #IEAN? It was much too early to gauge the, flec tions’ effect on the American-“econ omy or on Europe’s overall re covery program, but disappoint ment in the U. S. was widespread and there was some concern lest the uncertainty of the Labor gov ernment’s position interfere serious ly with American recovery plans abroad. One American newspaper wom an was able to put into print con cisely and graphically the diver gent British viewpoints when she reported a Conservative as saying that England would never recover until the Laborites were complete ly thrown out, and a poorer-class workwoman declaring that she didn’t care how much she had to do without, just as long as the rich didn’t have any more. H -B O M B : More Warnings More and more came the warn ings from experts of the dread po tentialities of the hydrogen bomb. True, there was some disagree ment, but a poll would show at this stage that a majority of scien tists who should know what they are talking about believe the bomb could kill everyone in the world. Four top scientists have issued that warning. They have declared that the bomb, if it works, could be a suicide bomb. Why?. How? Here’s what they say: • IF THE BOMB is ever made 'and' used, it would kill slowly by poi soning everything and everyonje with radioactive dusts. .’=» The dusts would be carried around the world by the winds. The dust would be in the air peo ple breathed. It would settle on and poison plants and trees, everything hu mans eat or use. THE H-BOMB, they add, could be intentionally rigged to do just that — and it would be relatively simple to do it. Makers of the bomb would have only to put harmless chem ical elements around the “H-bomb. The bomb it self would" turn these chemicals into the fantastic killing dust. Dust of {that sort could be made so that it would remain active a few days, a few months or as long as 5,OOQ years. That is a frightening, appalling possibility. But there is a ray of hope. These same scientists say it will be an other -three years before anyone will know if the bomb can be pro duced. That gives mankind a little time in which, .tp make up his mind. The decision had better be right. S P Y H U N T : No ‘Witches' There was to be “no witches— no whitewash’’ in the senate for eign relations subcommittee’s probe of alleged infiltration of Communists into the U.S. state de partment. That’s what Sen. Millard Tydings (D., Md.) said of the investigation when he was named chairman of the committee which was' to con duct it. THE NAMING of the committee stemmed from charges by Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R., Wis.) that an un-named group of Communists hold — or, have held,—high state, de partm ent posts. But, McCarthy rather put the committee on the spot at the start when he saidi that if President Tru man persists In his refusal to make state department employee loyalty files available, “an investigation would be useless.” Mr. Truman has so persisted and declared he would ignore the senate’s action in granting subpoena rights to the committee. Indications were that a court test of the President’s position was in the making if the committee chose to use its subpoena rights and called upon the President to deliver the wanted records. TYDINGS'DECLINED to pass on this issue at the outset, and said, instead, that he expected a “full, fair , and complete investigation” of McCarthy’s charges. “We will let the chips fall where they m ay,” he said, “and this will be neither a witch-hunt nor a whitewash.” T h e senator’s intentions no doubt were good—but there might be little to worry about where the chips would fall, so long as Mr. Truman declined to pass the com mittee the axe they needed. Answer Still ‘Ho’ President Truman persisted in his,, refusal to give congress con fidential loyalty files on federal employees. However, he said he had prom ised the senate foreign relations committee he otherwise would co operate in disproving what he called false charges made by Sen ator McCarthy. (R., Wis.) that a Communist, ring exists in the state department. He told newsmen that subpoena powers voted by the senate for committee investigators would “make no difference” to him, pointing out that it would be dif ficult to serve a subpoena on the' President of the United States, since the government affords him protection from such services. And, indeed it would. But, it doesn’t say anywhere chat the President may not give informa tion—if he chooses—to those seek ing to ascertain the degree of this nation’s security against subversive elements. EDUCATION Military Effort at School Rule Charged According to scores of educators and other prominent people in the. United States, there is a “system atic and well-financed effort” by the national military establishment to “penetrate and influence the civ ilian educational life of America.” This charge was contained in a booklet of 80 pages of fine prints put out through the national council against conscription. Among the signers were famed scientist Al-: Jbert ,Einstein, author Louis Brom- j field) -and a number of prominent I church leaders. j The report centered on the ac- ’ tivities of-, the reserve officers train- j ing units, military science teach-! ing, research contracts with uni- 1 versities, and what it sees as a 1 trend toward putting m ilitary men in high educational places. SP U D T A L K : Ethics vs. Dollars It was ethics versus American taxpayers’ dollars as the senate argued whether it would be honest for congress to remove *he price supports already promised on the 1950 potato crop. AS ALMOST every schoolboy knew, the government’s potato pro gram was one cf the most jumbled, fantastic, reason-assaulting pro cedures ever evolved in the U. S. Farm ers were being paid a sub sidy on potatoes to compensate them for m arket price differen tials, each -year the potato surplus was growing, and farm ers were permitted to buy back the subsi dized potatoes as low as one cent per hundred pounds for use as fer tilizer. And all this in the face of world food shortages and a real need for the surplus potatoes by local relief agencies and school lunch programs over the nation. ODDLY ENOUGH, many Repub licans were stringing along with the lets-not-destroy-subsidies think ing, with Sen. Scott Lucas, Illinois, Democratic floor leader, sponsor ing a move to cancel price sup ports for all 1950 potatoes not al ready planted. Republicans favor ing retention of the 1950 subsidy plan included Senators Brewster, Maine, Aiken, Vermont, and Milli- kin, Colorado. Lucas was on firm ground as far as economy and mathematics went. Already the record showed, the U. S. is in the red 100 million dollars for price support operations on the 1949 crop alone. Lucas jibed at Republicans for talking about the need for economy and then opposing his potato-curb legislation. P R O G R E SSIV E S: Support for Henry Too much attention to name- calling and too little attention to issues. That’s the way O. John Rogge, former assistant attorney general of the United States, summed up the trouble with the new Progressive party of which Henry Wallace—one-time vice-pres ident of the United States—is the chief figure. ROGGE’S STATEMENT w a s made in support of Wallace, who had made a virtual demand that the party stop trying to “save face” for the Communists in dec larations of policy. The party held a convention in Chicago to develop aims and ob jectives during which Rogge de clared of the party’s being called “Red baiters” : “We should be as unafraid of that label as we are of the labels ’Communist’ or ’C om m unist front.’ ” There were delegates who found signs of new attitudes among Soviet-friendship groups as an out growth of the Tito-resistance. The resolutions committee was re ported to have shelved quietly an anti-Tito statement. Rogge touched on this schism briefly when he said: “WE SHALL NOT BEND reason backward in order to attempt to justify the conduct of the Comin- form countries toward Yugoslavia. But when the Soviet Union offers a plan in the field of atomic en ergy which, with all its faults, at least offers a better basis for open ing and continuing negotiations than the Baruch plan, we are go ing to say just that.” No one doubted Rogge’s stand. The Progressives, whether they were happy about it or not, were so completely tagged with Soviet- sympathy labels that there would be no confusion in the minds of the voters when its candidates of fered for office.

Potter, the 40-year-old Detroit factory personnel expert who turned burglar by night was a victim of habit, he told police. Admitting some thousand or more burglaries in the Detroit area over the past seven years, he said loot ing homes was his “avocation.” Incidentally, there was quite some profit in Potter’s hobby— possibly as much as $80,000, authorities said. Sense of Values Crying as if her heart would break, Mrs. Brown poured out the entire story on her mother’s shoulder. “ Yes,” she repeated, “he ran off with my very best friend.” “Never mind, darling,” her mother consoled her. “I never thought much of him as a hus band, anyway. You won’t miss him.” “I don’t,” she assured her mother, “it’s my friend I miss.” • » * Persuasive A lawyer, whose sparkling elo quence had won an acquittal for his client, was anxious to learn the truth. “Now, Sam,” he said, “you can confide in me. Did you really steal that horse you were ac cused of stealing?” “No, sir,” replied the man, “I thought I had, but your speech to the jury convinced even me.”* * * Couldn’t Lose “The dam must have burst,” thought the judge as the talkative lawyer spoke on and on and on. He listened for a few minutes. “Well, now,” he informed the lawyer when he was able to get a word in, “I do believe you have stated your case fully and com pletely. I therefore award the decision to your client.” The lawyer thanked him very much but seemed to have a few points he didn’t want to waste. He continued to talk and it was fully five minutes before the judge could interrupt him again. “Despite your argum ents,” he said firmly, “I am fully con vinced that your client should win the case.” Outdoor Plywood Makes This Little Lad Sturdy 22'CUT-OUT BOY OARDEN FIOURE PATTERN — 327 MATCHING OIRL 5 FIGURE WITH J WATERING CANl PATTERN CUT-OUT BOX WITH HOE CUT THIS little lad out of out door plywood, and paint his bright blue overalls and big straw hat.

CRISP, CRISPEk , CRUSPBSTl Hadacol Is Praised At Famous Spa HADACOL HAS SPECIAL OFFICE IN HOT SPRINGS TO HELP SUFFERERS Hot Springs National Park, Ark.— (Special)—Health is a major topic of conversation in this world famous Spa and more and more conversation turns to the marvelous, health-giv ing blessings being brought to so many by HADACOL. Realizing the importance of Hot Springs as a health center, Dudley J. LeBlanc, Founder and President of LeBlanc Corporation, makers of HADACOL, established an office in Hot Springs to advise suffering folks on how HADACOL can benefit their systems with its wealth of B Vitamins and important Minerals. In this HADACOL office in Hot Springs are records of folks who have found improved health in a bottle of HADACOL. That is one reason why per capita sales of HAD ACOL in Hot Springs are among the highest in the country. Look at the record of Mrs. Joan TyinIS1 of Hot Spiings, who stalled til ing II TI) \< OI only two months MitS JOAN WALKS ago but now has her husband and other relatives and friends taking HADACOL with the same wonderful results. Here is her statement:“I started taking HADACOL about two months ago with wonderful results. I was run down and suffered with indigestion and gastric disturbances. Food didn’t agree with me. I was nervous. After taking HADACOL I feel stronger, eat what I want to without indigestion. I just feel better all the time. I have tried many remedies before taking HAD ACOL, but HADACOL has done me more good than all the medicines I have ever taken. My husband also took HADACOL because he was run down and suffered with nervous indigestion and headaches. He is a well man today due to HADACOL I have several relatives and friends taking HADACOL with fine results.” Mrs. Waers was suffering a de ficiency of B Vitamins and impor tant Minerals, 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 burns, 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 constipation. And while those 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 Min erals contained in HADACOL. And if you suffer from such a disorder, there is no medicine, drug or treat ment that will cure you except the administration of the Vitamins and Minerals which your system lacks. HADACOL contains not only one, but five of the B Vitamins. HADA COL contains not only one, but four 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. You can not be satisfied with just temporary relief. HADACOL attacks and cures the source of such deficiency diseases. It is easy to understand, therefore, why countless thousands have al ready been benefited by this amaz ing tonic, HADACOL Accept no substitute—insist on the genuine 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 suf fering! 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. We are so firm in our belief that HADACOL will help you that wo sell HADACOL on a money-back guarantee. If you don’t feel perfectly satisfied after using HADACOL as directed, just return the empty carton and your money will be cheerfully refunded. Nothing could be fairer. Sold at all the leading drug stores. Trial size only $1.25, but save money—buy the large family and hospital size—only $3.50. * yo«r, druggist does not have HADACOL, order direct from Th* LeBlanc Corporation, Lafayette, Louisiana.

Wilkinson C orner Minute €0 Fiction jrt ARON JORDAN had a swell job writing advertising for a Chicago agency. The night he came home and told Sally, his wife, that he was going to quit because he wanted to write movie scenar ios, she thought he’d been drink ing. "Either that,” she said, “or you’re crazy.” “Correct,” said Aaron. “Just crazy enough to be able to write good scenarios. You’ve got to be crazy to get by in Hollywood. Joe Neal told me.” “Are we going to live in Hollywood?” Sally asked. “Naturally. That’s where movies are made.” Sally was young and never had liked the idea of settling down too early in life. Besides, the idea of living in Hollyivood was thrilling. They had a little money saved up, which was lucky, because after living three months in the cinema city they hadn’t made a dime. Aaron had written four scripts, which had almost sold. Almost. That one word had become the bane of their existence. It was the one word in Hollywood that drove peo ple crazier than they were at the start. Two months passed and the Jor dans had almost made a pile of money. The money that they had saved was almost gone. They be gan to wonder about the future a little. Another fortnight passed and Aaron and Sally decided they couldn’t evade facts any longer. Almost selling something didn’t buy bread. Aaron’s latest story, “But your finger isn’t ser iously cut.” now in the hands of Pacific coast studios, would, they felt, be re turned like all the others. Almost good enough would be the com ment. They held a council of war. As soon as Pacific Coast returned fte story they’d have to quit and So home. The day after the council ol war, Aaron cut Iiis finger while examining a typewriter ribbon in a nearby stationery store. The store m anager gave first aid, made a report, took down bis name and address and told him an adjuster would be up the next day. When Aaron got home he told Sally about it. “It’s a chain store. They’re insured against accidents. I’ll collect at least $100.” “But your finger isn’t seriously cut” “So what? Insiurance companies have plenty of dough.*’ The adjuster came early the next morning. They knew him to be an insurance man by the benign, in gratiating look on his face. “Cut your finger?” he asked. “And pretty badly, too,” Aaron replied. He glanced at Sally. She was eyeing him severely. He knew It gave them .a sinking, frus trated feeling. she didn’t approve of what he planned to do. “How’d it happen?” Aaron gave a detailed account of the accident. “Too bad. Bother you about working?” AARON HESITATED. This was the crucial moment. He could say the wound practically incapac itated him. He could make it strong, and perhaps collect $50. Sally was regarding him stead ily. He didn’t like the look in her eyes. It made him feel small and cheap. He shrugged. “No. I can work all right. It isn’t anything serious. Let’s forget it.” Their visitor looked relieved. “Good. I have a proposition to make. We didn’t like your latest story especially.” “Eh?” said Aaron. “Too farcial. But Jackson, he’s our story man. Sent me up here to ask if you’d consider going to work for us. You see, we think you write pretty good dialogue. We need a dialogue writer.” Aaron gulped. “Then—you’re not —I mean—” “At what salary?” Sally asked practically. “Well, I’m authorized to offer $250 to start.” “Why,” Sally exclaimed, “that’s almost $300.” “Almost!” yelled Aaron. “Don’t I1 mention that word again. We’ll take the job. Wowl I’m almost crazyI" “Me, too,” Sally agreed. SSlRfl PUZZLE LAST WEEK'S ANSWER ^ ACROSS I. Begone! 5. Store S>. Cover with cement, etc. 10. Allowance for.weight 11. Bird 12.

Currently sean in Paramount’s WENDELL CORET “Thelma Jordan,” he was lent out for “No Sad Songs for Me,” soon to be released. He was lent again for the coveted role opposite Lana Turner in her comeback, “A Life of Her Own,” but turned it down.

He says it took him six days to make scenes he should have done in two. His new Paramount deal calls for six pictures in six years, giving him time to make outside films like this one. “Father of the Bride” was fin ished at Metro a few weeks ago and work on a sequel, “Now I’m a Grandfather” was begun immedi ately. "Father,” in which Eliza beth Taylor stars, will be released soon after her marriage. “Operation, Good Samari tan,” a series of programs pro- ' duced by Church World Serv ice, Inc., is being aired by radio stations throughout the country.

FIRST AID to the AIUNG HOUSEl BY ROGER C. WHITMAN QUESTION: How would you re move a spot on an office floor about 2x4 feet, caused by drag ging feet when spinning in chair . from desk to typewriter, without sanding the whole floor? The floor has had a coat of stain and two coats of shellac. ANSWER: Take off the remains of the shellac by quick wiping with denatured alcohol. Then ap ply one or two coats of fresh shel lac, thinning them down with de natured alcohol, about one-half. Feather out the strokes. Do not expect perfect results. If you in tend to do over the whole floor at some time, you might consider a penetrating floor wax or pene trating floor seal. These finishes are not apt to show scratches.

MOCKSVILLE N. C MARCH 22 1930 Smithsonian Olvos Ficurei Or Indians In Eastorn U.S. The American Indian, after Uiree centuries of competition with the conquering whites, still keeps a precarious foothold in the eastern United States. This is the conclusion of William H. Gilbert, Jr., in an extensive re port on Indian survivals east of the Mississippi published in the annual report of the Smithsonian institu tion. Nearly every state, it is pointed out by Dr. Gilbert, has some In dians, although they may not be listed officially as such. In some cases—such as the Iroquois groups of New York, the Cherokee, of North Carolina, and the Seminoles of Florida — tribal organization and some degree of racial purity have been maintained. For the most part, however, Indian blood is con siderably mixed with white and Negro. Most of the aboriginal groups, however, retain a certain identity and consider themselves as peoples set apart from their neigh bors. They have resisted social amalgamation with other groups. Tlio Indian population of New England is almost at the vanishing point and is much mixed with white and Negro blood. Vermont and New Hampshire have no Indians, except for visitors and occasional mixed - bloods. Maine leads the New England states with an aboriginal popula tion of 1,012, of whicli nearly half are full-bloods. Alabama has 465 persons with some Indian blood. Less than 2 per cent, however, are full-bloods. The Indian population of Texas is surprisingly low—about 1.000—with somewhat less than a third record ed as pure-bloods. Arkansas has a scattering of In dians—less than 500 altogether. Missouri has only 578 Indians and the census credits Indiana with only 285. Foresee Medical Advance! During Century’s 2nd Half Sensational medical advances <rf the past 50 years probably will be overshadowed by medical progress during the second half of the 20th century, according to an editorial in the Journal of the American Medical association. Cancer, epidemic poliomyelitis, arthritis, degenerative diseases and some conditions of the central nervous system are listed by the editorial as diseases which doc tors hope to conquer in the "com paratively near future." "The advances of medical sci ences since the beginning of the 2nfh century offer convincing evi dence of what can be done when competent researchers can work with freedom, facilities and funds," the editorial says. "Never in the recorded medical history of the world have there been so many inspiring discoveries the importance of which has startled at times entire nations. While fundamental discoveries have been made by researchers throughout the world, the practical application of these discoveries, es pecially during the last two dec ades, has been effected particular ly in the United States. "Formerly other countries were regarded highly for their research discoveries and the utilization of research findings, but more re cently war and the suppression of personal freedom, among other fac tors, have intervened so that today researchers from all over the world look expectantly, perhaps even with envy in some instances, toward the western hemisphere for its sci entific explorations. Synthetic Rubber Outlook There is no prospect of a general shift from natural rubber’ to syn thetic rubber in the near future, ex cept in a few applications such as the wire industry, natural rubber will remain the preferable material. Cold rubber, at present the most prominent of the synthetics, not only is inferior in some respects but its price is higher than that of natural rubber. Cold rubber, which is produced at freezing tempera tures (about 32 degrees Fahrenheit) instead of under the heat used in making ordinary GR-S, is stronger and tougher than GR-S, and its de velopment after the war was hailed in some quarters as a sensational achievement which would lead to ail kinds of remarkable advances in the rubber world. Building With Stainless Steel The building field has become an important user of chromium-nickel stainless steels for structural and architectural components which are exposed to the elements. Their high mechanical properties com bined with ease of fabrication, good weldability and corrosion-resist- ance have placed them in markets formerly held by other metals or non-metallic building materials. In 1949 progress was made fa the adoption of stainless steels as cur tain wail construction for office and industrial buildings, roofing, gut ters, downspouts and window frames. A revolutionary use of this material during the year was in the construction of several r-stain- '"sp ‘?s! fcoiHmgs in the Uhited Blood Pressure Influenced By Diet, Physioians Show Experimental proof that protein, calories and salt have a “profound influence” on blood pressure and length of life has been demonstrated by two Duke University physicians. Drs. Philip Handler and Fred erick Bemheim, Duke biochemists, have just completed what is be lieved to be the first definitive study of the effect of diet on experimen tal renal (kidney) high blood pres sure. Implications of the study may be of great significance, but the Duke •dentists point out that it is too •arly to make definite predictions. The investigators produced in white rats conditions resembling Uiose fa humans who suffer from high blood pressure due to kidney disorders, but they say that “at this time it cannot be stated with certainly w hether hypertension created fa this way is similar to any type of high blood pressure trouble known to man.” High blood pressure was pro duced fa the rats by removing all of one kidney and about one-half of the other. Rats were then fed diets containing varying amounts of protein, calories and -salt, and the effect of the diets was meas ured by noting the blood pressure levels and length of life. Drs. Handler and Bemheim made use for the first time of "synthetic rations" containing the required amounts of protein, calories and •alt. Careful record was kept of daily food consumption of each rat Uiroughout Uie experiments. The tesults: Rats always developed high blood pressure when fed commercial ani m al foods after the kidney opera tion was performed. However, blood pressures were always nor mal when rats given any kind of diet were prevented from eating more than two-thirds of the amount they would have eaten of their own accord. When placed on a low protein diet, the rats’ blood pressures sooii dropped to normal levels unless the diet contained an overwhelming amount of salt. Ir contrast, animals fed high pretei- diet= invariably developed Men b'oort pressure even though tray are no salt. ’' S Ychj Fr??) Traffic ’ r 31.539 in 1949 e n .a has oaid itself a 1949 iv fierd of about 500 lives saved in r-o'.or vehicle traffic, the NatiOnal Ofety council announced after add- ••v up ths death list for 11 months. Tbe final traffic death toll for l0/-S is estimated by the council at at 31.500. Last year it was 32,-i’-0. For November alone traffic deaths totaled 3.020—2 per cent more than in the same month of 1948. This boosted the 11-month toll to 28.350 —a decrease of I per cent as com pared with the same period last year. Mileage figures are available for enly 10 months, the council said. For that period, travel is estimated at 350.8 billion miles—a 8 per cent increase over the same period last year. Thus the death rate per 100 million miles was 7.2 for the 10 months, as compared with 7.0 for the same period in 1948. Of the 44 states reporting for No vember, 15 reported decreases fa deaths, three had no change and 26 showed increases. For the 11-month ] period, 29 had decreases and 15 j showed increases. I Mysterious Grave Sites Dot Tropical Marianas An American expedition has tak en the field on Saipan, second lar gest fa the tropical island chain, for a campaign of archeological de tective work aimed at unraveling the mystery of early civilization in the western Pacific. "Clues” in abundance exist, but scientists have yet to wrest from them the story of the vanished peo ple who once inhabited the archi pelago. Four of the 15 Marianas— Saipan, Guam, Rota and Tinian— are dotted with prehistoric burial sites, believed to have been, erected centuries before the discovery of the islands In 1521 by Ferdinand Magellan. Usually marked by double rows or upright stone pillars, these graves until recently were regard ed with suspicion and even fear by the Chamorros, who were native to the islands when the white man first came. Much of this apprehen sion how has disappeared, although the natives show scant curiousity about the secret of the monuments. That is because the historic sites are meaningless to the present-day inhabitants. The story of their sig nificance evidently was lost to the Chamorros centuries ago, if indeed they ever possessed it. Yet, judg ing by sheer numbers alone, the graves once represented an im portant feature of the islands’ culture. Guam itself boasts several hun dred monuments, but only a hand ful ever have been excavated. These few have yielded sufficient archeological material, in the opin ion of antiquarians, to make pres ervation and study of the untouched sites worth while. The same holds true for graves on the other three islands. Birth Rate About 3.7 million babies were bom in the United States in 1949. It was the third year in succes sion in which the number of births exceeded 344 millions, which is un precedented in the country’s his tory. The 1949 figure is virtually the same as for 1948, and only five per cent below the all-time peak reached in 1947. The general health record of the country was also ex traordinarily good in 1949. Pres ent indications are that the death rate of the year was about 9.7 per 1,000, or about 2 per cent under the previous minimum set in 1948. Educational Revolution In Process, Educator Says Dr. Edwin S. Burdell, Director of The Cooper Union, has character ized the 20th-century .as the century of the educational revolution. "The startling implication of the last half century of development is that just as the 19th century has been called the century of the in dustrial revolution, so the 20th cen tury is well on the way to becom ing the century of the educational revolution,” Dr. Burdell declared. The increase of more than two million enrolled college students in a half-century and the even greater increases to come, have created shortages of qualified teachers, classrooms, libraries and labora tories, Dr. Burdell said. “But the two problems that tran scend all others are: first how to achieve a reconciliation between ‘.eaching a student a body of facts and educating him to sense of val ues, and second, through this achievement to prepare man’s mind to control the life and death forces involved in the release of atomic energy. “Facts are important, but of greater importance is what we make out of them. Knowledge and wisdom have to be woven into the fabric. At no previous time in the history of man have so many trained persons been working on facts. Unfortunately, the funds and personnel for physical research far outstrip those for social research, with the result that the storehouse of facts on the nhys’cnl world iS bulging whereas the pursuit of so cial studies lags in comparison. Roof Cement Saves Fuel Roof cement, a product of the paint industry which is used for repairing leaks and cracks in roofs of all descriptions, helps to cut down fuel bills by increasing com bustion efficiency. This is possible because of its faculty for adhering to brick and mortar, remainin elastic and expanding or contract ing with the surface to which it is attached. It can also be applied to the brick and concrete settings of boilers, furnaces, kilns, oil stii1- and all other heating equipment to prevent oil infiltration.

The dictionarv says the world waste means wild and uninhabited desert, a piece of laud that is pare or uncultivated, destruction, ruin som ething that has no value; re fuse etc. I was reared on the farm, and I well remember how some parts of the fields would grow up in bushes and briars, grass and weeds, and would be of no benefit. Sometimes patches that were fertile were left uncultivated. Then I remember bow we would clean up and burn off such patches and parts of the fields’and grow fine com and wheat, cobhage and potatoes, or other ve getables In them , which put good fond on the table and sustained life. Lots of valuable land could he clearedjm d cleaned up and, put In cultivation that would he a great help and blessing, whereas it laps idle and does no good. I have just been thinking how this applies to life. There are literallv m ultitudes of people who let their valuable tim e go by unused, which could nrove a wonderful blessing if only emoloved. Manv let their oppor tunities for galneing knowledge, for doing much good, and for ac complishing som ething good, great and worth while, go unused. There are waste places in the minds, hearts, spirits and lives of neople that certaiulv ought to be cleaned out, cleaned up, put into ase, cultivated. One of the main reasons that so many people nevet sncceed In living nobly and suhli. raetv, accomplishing something great and worth while, thus re ceiving blessines themselves and in the meantime blessing the world, is because of the waste places in their lives. They waste so much of their talents, rime, opportunities, and fail to cultivate their soul princi pals, hence inevitable failure a- waits tbetu. Tbev leave God out, and the good things H e would en rich the soil of their lives with, and with which they could succeed for tim e and eternity, whereas they make a bland failure forever. Haw sad! Oh, dear reader, wake up! Look into your inner tife, then took upon upon your onter life, and se e wherein you are failing Behold bow many waste places your life contains Go to work, clear up and clean up. plant and cultivate -ometbing good, and and see what you can accomplish.

To sustain the assertion a down-Easter was interrogated. “I want you,” said the bettor, “to give me a straight forward answer to a plain question.” “I kin do it, mister,” said the Yankee. "Then why is it that New Eng landers always answer a question by asking one?” “Du they?” was the Yankee reply. Careful!

"Oh, those lemons are a bit small owing to a comparatively bad season,” explained the Cali fornian. “What are those enormous blos soms?” questioned the tourist a lit tle bit farther on. “Just a patch of dandelions,” an swered the guide. Presently they reached the Sac ramento river. "Ah,” said the tourist, “some one’s radiator is leaking.” America's most populai toy this year is called the “crasher truck ” It is a mechanical gadget which falls apart when it hits anything.

Three years ago, Congress created a bi-partisan, twelve-man Commission to study the waste and duplication of effort in the agencies and bureaus in the Executive Branch of the Federal Government. This Commission, ap proved by President Truman and headed by former President Hoover, has turned in a report whjch would cut our tax bill three to four billion dollars annually—if the recommenda tions are enacted into law. This means that it would save you one dollar out of every ten you pay in taxes. Whether you realize it or not, every family in the United States pays yearly, on the average, in direct and hidden taxes, more than $1,000.00 each to support Ifie Federal Government alone. Congress has already authorized $15,000,000,000 for construction of major projects, and another $30,000,- 000,000 authorization is planned. The Commission has recommended, (I) Creation of an impartial Board of Analysis for engineering and archi tectural projects, (2) Long-range planning of projects to meet the ebb and flow of economic cycles, and (3) Coordination of all public works. Such prudence might well save the nation from collapse. If you think this march down tho road to the poorhouse should be halt ed, wire your Congressman.

When the lady came in to look at some radios he showed her a fairly cheap model. “No,” she said, "I want something a little more expensive.” But the $100 model he showed her next didn’t suit her. Think ing of a fat commission he escorted her to the $500 model. He beamed happily when she said that that was just what she wanted. "And before you send it out,” she instructed him, “please have it converted jg gas.” What Hs WoUramT Wolfram is another name for tungsten, m etal used in making electric lamp filaments. In most countries, except the United States, it has long been called wolfram, a name which comes from wolfram ite, the mineral from which it was first isolated. Chemists in all coun tries have designated it by the symbol W, for wolfram. The name tungsten, S w e di s h for “heavy stone,” came from another ore in which it was found. The Interna tional Union of Chemistry has voted to make wolfram the only official name. Uncle Sam Says UNFORGETTABLE He: “I’m keeping a record of all the good times we’ve' had to gether.” She: “Oh, a diary!” He: “No, stubs in a checkbook." SAME RESULT The young schoolteacher had just told a small boy the story of a lamb that had strayed from the flock and had been eaten by a wolf. “You see,” she said, "had the lamb been obedient and stayed in the flock, it would not have been eaten by the wolf, would it?” "No, ma’am,” answered the small boy. “It would have been eaten by us.” Winter Buds Hold Beauty; Observe Them Carefully Observing tree buds in winter can be adventure.' Each is a m ira cle of nature. Each has been placed with care — next spring’s flowers and leaves in miniature meticulous ly folded and sealed. Each contains just enough oxygen and moisture to keep alive until the miracle of spring unfolds them. A m ature elm may hold as many as six million buds. Yet only a per centage will .open. If squirrels eat some, if others freeze or are dam aged, nature has supplied enough to give a tree full foliage. Winter buds are a tree’s diadem. Some are as colorful as precious jewels. They come in many forms, unusual shapes. But never is one square. The architectral pattern of nature is in spirals and ovals. Look closely aad winter buds be come works of art. Some contain only flowers; some hold leaves; still others contain both flowers and leaves. The flowering dogwood by your door has fat silver-gray shoe-but- ton-Iike buds at the ends of twigs. They are next spring’s flowers. Now observe the gray, slender and sharp buds along the twigs, ar ranged in spiral form. These hold next spring's leaves. Their colors are kaleidoscopic. Buds of a shadbush are rich brown red, fringed with silver hairs. Sweet gum buds are highly polished ma hogany red, broad at the base and tapering sharply. Buds of red ma ples are crimson trident, and note how all maple buds are grouped in threes at the end of each twig, with the tallest one in the center. A willow bud is half an inch long tapering gradually to a rounded tip. Pussy willow buds are blur- black mottled with red at the top: swamp vviliows have an orange hue, black willow buds are glossy wine red.

TnsiHry Dtpsnticia M arriage Rate BecSJnss; Especially In Eig Gifiss About 1,580,000 couples embarkec upon matrimony in the Uniter States in 1949. This is' a decline of one eighth from 1948 and nearly one third Ies- than the all-time peak of 2,291,00' m arriages in 1946. The decrease reflects in large part the extent tr which the number of unmarrier men in the population has been re duced by the phenomenal boom ir m arriages during the immediate postwar years. The down trend in m arriaee from 1948 to 1949 was nationwide somewhat more prounounced in th- m ajor cities than in the smalls- communities, and most marked ir the northern tier of states from the Atlantic to the Midwest, where the decline was 14 per cent. In the South and the West the decrease was about 11 per cent. In the popular divorce and m ar riage centers of Reno and Las Vegas the drop in marriages was 12 and 15 per cent, respectively. New York City recorded a decline of one seventh and Los Angeles a decline of one tenth. Reductions within this range were registered In Chicago, Detroit, and Philadel phia. “Despite recent decline, the yearly number of m arriages is still above the prewar level, and the marriage rate is higher than the average for the four decades from the beginning of the century to Pearl Harbor,” the statisticians comment.

It may cost you ano.her month’s benefits if you wait until tomorrow. Re member, benefits are paid at age 65 and to survivors of deceased wage earners. Payments, whether retirement or survivors monthly or lump-sum are not made automatically. A claim for benefits must be filed before pavment can be made. It is important to file a claim promp tly, otherwise benefits may be lost. A worker should get in touch with the nearest Social Se curity Administration field office as soon as he reaches age 65- Ben efits are payable retroactively for only three months prior to date of filing. Claims for monthly sur vivors benefits should be filed im mediately after the insured per son’s death. Monthly payments to survivors are also retroactive only for three months prior to the month of filing. Thus, if a claim is not filed until the fourth month after the insured person’s death or attainment of age 65, one month’s pavment is lost.

LocalBreeders Aid Breeding Boost The Davie County Cooperative Breeders Association announces that their organization has insem inated 1109 cows in 1949 as com pared to 760 in 1948.

The Davie Association is pleas ed to be able to announce to their customers and dairymen in the county the service from these great bulls is available to every dairyman, small or large, at the re gular insemination charge, as the small farmer rarely can pay the expense of keeping a good proved bull. THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE. N. C. GDHttUND CAOSON Tax Probe Reopened T AST JUNE, after a huddle of “ lawyers in Birmingham, Ala., an important income-tax fraud case was sent back to the justice depart ment in Washington where it was marked “Closed,” “No prosecu tion.” The case involved Joe Mitchell and Sam Ripps of Mobile who were alleged to have profited from the sale of jewelry to army post ex changes during the war and then cheated the government out of in come taxes. But the lawyers’ huddle in Bir- ‘mingham decided that there was ,no case against Mitchell and Ripps, ,'and sent it back for “no prosecu tion.” Six months later, however, on !December 16, 1949, this column 'published the whole story of the ; Ripps-Mitchell scandal, including :the fact that they were defended !in Birmingham by Ben Leader, !former law partner of U.S. Attorn ey John Hill, the man who was sup posed to prosecute them. Just a few days before this story was published, John Hill telephoned the justice depart ment from Birmingham warn ing that “Pearson had one of his investigators in Birming ham probing the Ripps-Mitch- ell case.” Three days later, when the story was published, Hill issued a general denial. However, the justice department, with some of the new facts disclos ed by this column, reopened the Ripps-Mitchell case. And the two men were indicted in Mobile. Unemployment Picture The council of economic advisers has presented a significant, secret, three-page analysis of the coun try’s economic problems to the President. Here in brief is what Truman’s advisers told him: 1. The major problem facing the country today is the sharp rise in unemployment: A) During the month of January, unemployment set a record post war high with 4.5 million out of work—almost a million higher than the previous month. Unemploy ment is now at 7 per cent of the total labor force as against only a little over 4 per cent one year ago. B) The increase of a million in the ranks of the unemployed in a 30-day period is considerably more than would normally occur at this time of year. 2. Partly offsetting the poor un employment picture is the high level of home construction, busi ness loans and bank clearings. In addition, those people who are still employed have not received any appreciable pay cuts. 3. In general, the present situa tion, while warranting the closest study, is not as yet alarming. 4. The basic problem is one of expanding the U.S. economy fast enough to absorb the ever- increasing number of people available to work. During the year 1949, for example, the labor force increased by 1.33 million. Today’s high level of unemployment is due to the failure of the economy to grow sufficiently during 1949. 5. The present economic situa tion calls for action along three major lines: A) The development of a pro gram to stimulate business invest ment, planning for large public- works expenditures and increased attention to local areas of severe unemployment. B) Continued government spend ing in order to pour money into the economic stream (defense spending, social security, unem ployment compensation, veterans benefits, etc.) C) The rapid settlement of the coal strike before coal shortages send a chain reaction of unemploy ment throughout the nation. Rankin Silenced John Rankin, the wild-talking Mississippi congressman, has met his match on the house floor. It happened early in the morning of the long filibuster against FEPC. Rankin, a small, stooped man with a shock of gray hair and a nonstop tongue, kept the filibuster going. Finally Representative Andy Jacobs, dubbed by colleagues “the Abe Lincoln of Indiana,” wearily pulled himself up and remarked: “I’m getting a little tired of this Holy Willie prayer. You remember Bobbie Burns’ Holy Willie, who thanked the Lord in a congratula tory vein that he, Holy Willie, wasn’t wicked like his neighbors.” This crack opened sleepy eyes, for few representatives are bold enough to take on the nagging Rankin. But Jacobs, recalling Ran kin’s outpouring against FEPC en forcement, continued: "He favored enforcement of the Taft-Hartley law and asked enforcement against John L. Lewis. He requested the President to invoke the Taft-Hart- Iey law in the present emergency. A year ago, when labor legislation was being considered, the gentle man talked here so much about the right to work; today he does not seem to be too much interested.” WCCKLY NCWS ANALYSIS- New Aids Asked for Farm Support; Coal Industry Seeks Strike Pease; Unemployment Surges to New Peaks (EDlTOBtS NOTE: Wben opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those ©I Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily ol this newspaper.) FARM SUPPORTS: New Aids Asked Charles Brannan, U.S. secretary of agriculture, was still plumping for adoption of his (Brannan plan) system for farm price supports, arguing that new price aids must be provided now.Pointing out that there is trouble getting rid of 1948 farm surpluses even as 1949 surpluses are pouring in, Brannan said the disposal prob lem “points to the need of supple mentary action on price supports, particularly with respect to more efficient methods than procedures for handling price supports of per ishable commodities." THE agriculture secretary may have had a point there, but the main question was: Would his plan of letting farm products find their own levels on the price market, with subsidies making up the dif ference—provide an adequate so lution? Up to this point, he had been un able to convince congress that it would. What luck he would have in the future was wholly problemati cal. But there was no arguing the point that something needed to be done to clear up the muddled farm price support program. As it was being operated, federal farm policy seemed to be getting worse the farther it went. Brannan was eminently correct when he admitted the present price support system programs encourage over-production on one hand, and under-consumption on the other . . . and to find sufficient ly new uses for the surpluses, or to divert them into non-commercial channels at anything comparable to the support price usually is im possible.” SUMMING UP, Brannan said: ‘Briefly, the outlook includes the likelihood of some further contrac tion in the total demands for U.S. farm products and points to the need for adjustment in production if a favorable price level is to be maintained.” The problem indeed was a grave one and made even more grave by the fact that the administration may be caught in a trap that has been long in the making—a trap created by the fact that having so long experienced the subsidy aid as is, farmers won’t like any tam pering with the program and might visit their ill will on anyone who may do so. LEWIS: A Fine Largess John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America i labor union which does not pay its members strike benefits and which subjects them to untold mis ery and hardship during strike per iods—was offering a victory-flush ed one-million-dollar loan to the C.I.O. United Automobile Workers union. THE PURPOSE of the loan would be to help the UAW win new contracts from Chrysler and Gen eral Motors. Lewis wrote Walter Reuther, head of the giant auto workers union, that wage-welfare improvements in the coal industry were fought by money interests linked with “the financial group” which dominates car-making. He added that this aid is needed so “your union may be assured be yond preadventure, of success in its present struggle.” Reuther was in the midst of a long strike for pensions at Chrysler corporation. At the time of Lewis' offer, it was estimated UAW workers had lost 35 million dollars in pay and the company 250 million dollars. Help for Reuther was authorized at a jubilant meeting of Lewis with his top union aides, where Lewis was said to ha^’e boasted that he had “licked” the strike-emergency injunction provision of the Taft- Hartley law, inasmuch as a federal court injunction issued under the law failed to halt the coal strike. MOST of the big U.S. industrial concerns feared that Lewis’ victory over the coal operators in the mat ter of wage increases and addition al health and welfare benefits would touch off a series of strikes as other unions sought to do as well for themselves. Coal was being mined again and industry’s wheels were turning, but the immediate future apeared grim and uncertain. The question seemed to be: When and where will the next strike erupt? It seemed inevitable to even a casual observer that another round of wage-hike fights was in the making. FRENCH-SAAR: U.S. Worried United States high level diplo m ats had a new and aggravating problem on their hands: The sud denly critical French-German split over the Saar region. The situation was complicated when France and the semi-indepen dent government of the coal-rich Saar signed a pact under which France would take the Saar’s coal for the next 50 years which the Ger man Chancellor resented. Communist? A sensation was caused in British political circles when Lord Beaverbrook’s conserva tive London Evening Standard named War Minister John Strachey (above) “an avowed Communist.” COAL: A Look Ahead The most crippling coal strike in the nation’s history had come to an end. Miners were pouring back into the pits and allied industries, faced with a threat of total shut down, were reviving and calling men back to work. John L. Lewis, United Mine Worker chieftian, apparently had won again. He had obtained a raise in pay for the miners along with additional health and welfare ben efits. But as the nation relaxed with a sigh of relief that the production- stop threat had been removed, leaders in the coal industry began to look farther ahead—to examine methods by which a permanent coal peace might be won. Leading mine operators stated they hoped to complete arrange ments to have Harry W. Moses, head of the “captive” mine sub sidiaries of the Unitted States Steel corporation, to leave big steel and devote all his time to handling the coal industry’s dealings with Lewis. APPOINTMENT of Moses as a full-time representative of the soft coal industry in its relations with the UMW is designed as a move to end the chaotic conditions that have existed in the mine fields for years. The move has the support of virtually all the principal opera tors in the north and west and was expected to win strong favor among southern operators as well. A lasting industry peace has long been the goal of operators and the public, which is beginning to tire of the almost annual war of nerves between the mine union boss and operators while the nation stands almost helpless without fuel. JOBLESS: Hit New Peak Again jobless numbers in the United States had catapulted to a new high, and again the federal commerce department appeared unperturbed about it. Unemployment rose to 4,684,000 in February—the highest figure since 1941—when the total was 5,620,000. DESPITE THE FACT that many industrial and economic leaders professed to see danger in the sit uation, the commerce department came up with the usual bland, un concerned explanation as to the cause of the big jump in unemployment. As was stated in January when jobless figures appeared alarming, commerce department boss said: “The slight rise in unemploy ment between January and Feb ruary (204,000) appears to be due mainly to seasonal increase in the labor force and not to any cutbacks in employment.” But was that the case? Wasn’t it logical to assume that an “in crease in the labor force”—mean ing unemployed but available labor —meant a corresponding lack of employment for that same force. IT WAS SIGNIFICANT, many observers felt, that the figure as reported did not include striking workmen, a fact that meant the unemployment picture was not dis torted in that sense. Why was unemployment appar ently steadily increasing? How would the “seasonal turnover” ex planation hold water? If there were serious threat of widespread unemployment in the nation, it seemed the government should ascertain the fact. ARCTIC ARMY Large masses of men never could be pitted against each other in Alaska, or other Arctic wastes, as they were in the last war, ac cording to military experts who led the recent mock warfare in the A laska sub-Arctic; but they couldn’t agree on why that is the case. One reason given was diffi culty of transporting supplies, an other was that there simply isn’t enough room. U.N. COST: One Dime Each Each citizen of the United States pays less than a dime for his share of the basic United Nations annual budget. At least three members of con gress disagree on whether this is too much, too little, or about right according to the first issue of a weekly wall newspaper in color, the UN GRAM. APPEARING for the first time this week, the new publication re ports that Sen. Herbert R. O’Conor of Maryland, chairman of the sen ate committee on expenditures in the executive departments which recently issued a report asking that the U.N. reduce its expendi tures for the United Nations and its affiliates, thinks that a dime per capita is too much. Congress woman Helen Gahagan Douglas, on the other hand, says it is too little; while Sen. Estes Kefauver is quoted as saying it is about right. The U.N. Gram, which tells sub scribers about the United Nations, in this issue objectively presents each of these three viewpoints. Buttressing Senator O’Conor’s “too much” point, it states: “In ternationalism, plus national de fense, is a luxury. U.N.’s budget is just the start: each specialized agency asks more. How can the little nations pay?” Supporting the “too little” ap proach of Congresswoman Douglas, it says: “New York City, U. N.’s permanent home, pays more for garbage disposal than U.N.’s an nual cost; its subway deficit would run the U.N. for six months.” AND BACKING up Senator Ke- fauver’s “just right” viewpoint, it argues: “Upping the U. N. budget, by forcing out power members, would make it a “rich man’s club.” If the U.S. paid the increase, still others might resign, charging that the U.N. was the “creature” of the United States. “Our aim,” states publisher Wal lace Thorsen, “is to get people thinking and talking about the United Nations and the job it is doing in building the world com munity.” “We try, in this and all subse quent issues, to present a simple, objective analysis of the problems faced by the world’s only machin ery for peace, to anyone with the time and inclination to pause be fore a bulletin board long enough to read the U.N. Gram—a m atter of minutes.” FARM UNION: Asks Red 'Bargain' From a surprising source came a plea for the United States to “strike a bargain” with Russia and to spend 150 billion dollars in the next 15 years on the undeveloped areas of the world. THE SOURCE was Jam es Pat ton, president of the National Farm ers Union. Patton said, “Somehow, I believe we will be able to find a way to live in this world with peoples who differ in viewpoint as to type of economy and social sys tems.” “Let us try to strike a bargain with those whom we are fighting in the cold war along with peaceful lines,” he went on, “so that all of us can lay down our arms. “Let us lead out in America by placing at the disposal of the peo ple of the world an annual credit of 10 billion dollars for the next 15 years for the purpose of build ing TVA’s on the Danube and the Yangtze, and for building man’s productivity in all of the unde veloped areas of the world.” PRESIDENT PATTON’S propo sal was magnanimous, generous, all-inclusive, but withall mostly visionary. It would delight those who operate on the theory that America can buy peace and good will with its dollars. They might even add that Amer ica must be the' most hated nation m the world, inasmuch as it ap pears it has no friends except those who are won and kept with money.

To give you a fitting for-instance, the other midnight I heard a maca bre yarn from a gent who used to teach science in Warsaw, and while I don’t know whether it’s history or hokum, it strikes me as being worth my allotment of white space today .... During the last year of the war, there was a small concentration camp in east Ger m any which had been set up for tw o purposes: (a) to build an underground ma chine shop, and (b) to make avail able the required number of human guinea pigs for certain experi ments being con ducted by distinguished Nazi scien tists. Billy Bose By SS STANDARDS, the method of selecting these guinea pigs was scrupulously fair. Each morning before breakfast, the 50 men in each of the wooden barracks would Stand at attention until the com m andant appeared with a list of their names. He would read off the top name on the list and the prisoner whose name was called would step forward. The commandant would then hand two small leather disks, one marked with a white circle and the other with a black, to the "trustee” of the barracks for ex amination. Then the commandant would drop the disks into his hat, and the prisoner would draw one of them. If he picked the one with the while circle be was safe until bis name came up again 50 days later; if be drew, the black one, be would be shipped out that Satur- day night. In December of 1944, my tea room friend—the scientist from Warsaw—was cattle-carred to this concentration camp and assigned to a barrack occupied almost ex clusively by captured Russian sol diers. He was asked the usual ques tions, and when the Russians found the newcomer was a Pole, they quickly let him know that the fra ternity of races as preached by Moscow was confined to Kremlin publicity handouts. And when he further admitted he had never joined the Party—not for any big ideological reason, but simply because he was a scientist and had no interest in politics— the Red army men decided he was an enemy of the state and began to plot against him. THE POLE, however, was more worried about the disks In the hat than the whisperings going on about him. Under the lottery sys tem, it would be almost two months before his name was called, and since news had fil tered into camp that the Russian forces were only a few weeks away, he kept telling himself that libera tion might come before the date for the drawing. But as the days turned into weeks, and still no sound of far-away cannon, he re signed himself to taking his 50-50 chances with the hat. The night before the fateful morning, the scientist was lying S tran g e A lc h e m y IAM amazed to find that pain and grief By some Strange alchemy, if bravely borne. Become a power, vital beyond belief, To bless and comfort other hearts that mourn. I did not dream through those far lonely days, Those bitter hours when pleading for release, That God would move in His mysterious ways' To make those hours a means to others’ peace.T That one’s own darkness may become a light For hurt, bewildered ones— ’tis Strange to me; Yet out of pain is often bom a white Undying flame of love and sympathy; The power that comes to dry another’s teats Was generated through long bittec years. GRACE NOLL CROWELL awake in his bunk when he felt a tug at his blanket. It was a young Czech who had been badly mis treated by the “trustee,” and who had often mumbled about getting even. According to the kid, the com rades had figured out a . plot to make certain the Pole would be shipped off to the Nazi experi menters. The “trustee” had cut a leather disk from his shoe and T h e Fiction K N O L T O N 'S C A S E By Richard H. Wilkinson C o rn e r ENOLTON’S ACT was the result of two year’s of planning. There was little chance that any thing would go wrong. He had served as clerk at the lumber camp for two long years. And from the moment he first saw the payroll left unguarded in the of fice while Iiie bank guard went out and a camp paymaster came in— from that moment Knolton knew that some day he’d steal that pay roll and make a get-away. The day that Knolton had chosen for the robbery was not unlike a thousand others. At exactly noon the payroll car drove up. A guard 3 - Minute Stepped into the CiAtSon office and depos- Fiction ited the heavy —~ ~ — bag by Knolton’s chair. Knolton greeted him care lessly, nodded at the bag and bent to his work. The guard went out. The moment the door closed Knolton’s head came up. He lis tened intently. Outside he could hear the bank guard in conversa tion with Raymond, the camp pay m aster. There wasn’t a moment to lose. Qinckly Knolton lifted up the cover of his desk, removed from inside a bag almost identical to the one on the floor and equally as heavy. He made the transfer deft- ly, unhurriedly. The door opened and Ray mond came inside. He nodded briefly to Knolton, picked np file decoy bag and went out again. Knolton stepped outside and Walked leisurely toward the river. Unobserved he climbed into the By now be had grown a beard. canoe which was hidden there, and pushed off.By mid-a fternoon Knolton reached a tributary and turned off the main stream . He paddled up this sm aller waterway for more than a mile. He set the canoe adrift and headed inland, swinging southward. By dusk he had come to a virgin stand of timber, mighty monarchs of the forest as yet unscathed by the lumberman’s axe. His steps led him to a huge pine, larger than the rest with thick undergrowth at the base. He parted the growth, pulled at a tuft of dirt. The tuft came away, revealing a shallow hole. Knolton had dug the hole months before, allowed the under growth to grow over it so that no trace of his recent visit would be in evidence. He deposited the bag in the hole and carefully replaced the dirt. TT WAS A MONTH before Knolton ^ reached his destination; a tiny village hundreds of miles south of the lumber camp. Here he paused to rest with a friend. By now he had grown a beard. The friend pro vided dye, and Knolton changed the color of his hair from light brown to black. Six months later Knolton, now known as Carl Hedman, with no trace of the one-time clerk showing beneath his per fect disguise, rode leisurely back toward the scene of his crime. The lumbermen gave him no more than a passing glance. Satisfied that he had not been recognized, Knolton followed the river to the mouth of the tributary. With pounding heart he mounted the ridge and paused to look. It was as if a hand had suddenly reached out and was squeezing him In a powerful grip. He stood rooted, mouth ajar, staring in stupified incredulity at the country below. With a sense of horror he realized what had happened. The entire area had been logged by the lum ber company, swept bare of every standing tree and piece of timber. Every tree stump looked alike; none was larger or different from its neighbor. He surmounted great piles of slash, tearing at them fran tically, hunting for the stump, the stump of the great pine tree. Thus unmindful of his direction he came again to the river bank. And when at length he reached the top of another hill he paused to rest, overcome by fatigue. Too late he felt the slash pile beneath him slipping away. Too late he realized that the slash had been thrown on the brink of a precipice overhanging the river. Knolton, with a pitiful cry on his lips, went over the brink. Far, far below he lay, a broken human body on the jagged rocks. SSWORD PIIHLE LAST WEEK'S ANSWER ^ ACROSS . I. Mast 5. On top 9. Coin (Turk.) 10. A young salmon 11. Ravine 12. Employs for wages 14.

For a long moment, the scien tist looked up at the slat ceding of the bunk above him. "Thank you? he finally said to his friend. "I think I'll be M e to manage." Next morning when his name was called, he saw the “trustee” palm the white-circled disk and substitute another. But he pre tended not to notice, and when the comandant held out his hat he smiled and selected a disk. “White or black,” he said, “I’m going to have one good meal in this mis erable camp.” And before Uie of ficer could stop him, he popped the bit of leather into his mouth and swallowed. The SS mjui frowned. "Crazy Pole,” he said, “what good will that do? There is still a disk left in the hat. If it is black, you picked the white; if it is white, you picked the black.” “That is quite correct, Sir,” said the scientist.

Many textile workers have reported the wonderful relief which has been brought them by HADACOL with its five B vitamins Eind four important minerals. Two of these workers, a young father employed by the great Cannon Mills at Kannapolis, N. C., and a mother, working at a mill in nearby Salisbury. N. C., recently told how HADA COL had helped keep them on the job. Jay W. Barn hardt, Route S. Box 343, Kanna polis, 'N. C., is 30 years old and the proud father ot two children. His work in the Can- „ _ . non mills calls * Barahardt for a great deal ot standing up. “I had been ill for several years," said Mr. Barnhardt 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 not sleep and finally I became so sick that my legs got weak as I worked in the mill each day.” Mr. Barnhardt, like so many sufferers, had tried many preparations without relief, when he heard about HADACOL.“After the second bottle of HADA COL I began to feel better and to regain the weight I had lost,” said Mr. Barnhardt. “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- Barnhardt has taken several bottles of HADACOL and now takes the famous vitamin and mineral preparation to help stay well. He has had his wife take it with wonderful 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 well ever since. “I was tired, weak and nervous," said Mrs. Poole. “I suffered indigestion and food didn’t agree with me. I also had headaches. After taking five bottles of HADACOL I felt good and was 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. Barnhardt 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 ot only a small amount of B Vitamins and certain minerals will cause digestive distrubances. Your food 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 thing.' you like for feai of being in miser; afterwards. Man} people also suf fer from constipa tion. And while these symptoms may be. the re- _suits of other V is. POole causes, they are surely and certain ly the signs ol 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 administra tion 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 are or who you are . . . it matters not where you live or il you have tried all the medicines under the sun, give this wondertul preparation HADA COL a trial. Don’t go on suffering. Don't continue to lead a miserable life. Many persons who have suffer ed 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. Tem porary relief is not enough for you. Give HADACOL a trial! Insist on the genuine HADACOL. : Don’t be misled. Accept no substi tute. We are so firm in our belief that HADACOL will help you that we sell HADACOL on a money-back guar antee. If you don’t feel perfectly satisfied after using HADACOL as directed, just return the empty carton and your money will be cheerfully refunded. Nothing could be fairer.

Any grower interested in pur- j chasing some of these ewes can do so by making a deposit of $3 per head for the number needed. This amount will be deducted from the final statement when the ewes are delivered in July. These ewes have been purchas ed in Montana and the estimated cost will be between $28 and $29 per head. Deposit checks should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of Agricul ture and forwarded to the Divis ion of Markets, Raleigh, N. C.

C. m Plywood Economical In Many Farm Uses B ro o d e r H o u ses P ro v e U tility of M a te ria l Farm ers are finding that the high strength and light weight oi plywood makes it an economical and efficient m aterial to use in portable farm buildings such as brooder houses, hog shelters, and range sheds. A brooder house, a building mag azine reports, should be of ade quate size, warm and dry, and properly lighted and ventilated. To HOVSSMiP MSMOS.. F l: % V* '< •' 1 J Here is a “ turkey feeder” . that is easily and economically made from exterior plywood— weather can’t harm it and it’s easy portability appeals to farmers. be economical, it should be rela tively low in first cost, and yet be strongly built to give long life with out expensive and troublesome up keep. For convenience, it must be easy to clean and move. Portability, of course, is of prime importance. Some portable build ings, built by conventional meth ods, weigh as much as 2 to 3 thous and pounds. Farm ers naturally hes itate to move a heavy structure fre quently, and so invite exposure to disease. If moved often, particular ly over rough ground, heavy build ings soon are loosened at the joints. Ends Poultry Chore VWWV.-, m Another poultry chore has been electrified and placed on an auto matic basis as shown above. This time it is a feeding job which nor mally requires considerable time and personal attention. It is being accomplished on an increasing number of electrified farms by mechanical feeders op erated by small motors. The device illustrated here is fairly common in a number of larger poultry houses. Feed and supplements are placed in the top of the metal cylinder and then mixed by the ro tating central shaft which has small paddles attached at the low er end. The shaft is lowered as the feed is ejected from the bottom of the cylinder by the spinning pad dles. C h em ical C a p o n iz a tio n H e ld of L im ited V a lu e The question of whether chemi cal caponization is practical is one which poultry raisers ask most fre quently. Many county extension services also receive numerous questions on the subject. In experimental work, the treat ment stopped fighting and crowing among the cockerels. “All things considered, it would appear that chemical caponization has very limited value at present.” M a ss a c h u se tts C o lle g ian Is A g ric u ltu ra l W in n e r A 20-year-old Massachusetts col lege student whose two and one- half acre plot of potatoes grossed him $1,300, has been named cham pion farmer-businessman of the country in competition with thou sands of farm youths from more than 40 states.

Here, surely, vras - a King who had arrived! But before th e w c k was out you would have seen this same Jesus on trial for his life, and not a voice raised in his defense. The same dustv-throated mob on that Sunday shouted “Hosanna! Blessed is H e!'’ was shrieking on Friday morning, “Crucify him!” * * * Flowery Beds or Bloody Seas? There is a popular notion float ing around to the effect that God gives good people an easy time. It is not always put just that way. But when a man who has been good (or thinks he has, or has tried to be), runs into trouble, he asks right away, “Why must this hap pen to Me?” The truth of the m at ter is better expressed in the lines of an old hymn; “Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, Or sailed through bloody seas?” Jesus was incomparably the best who ever lived; yet his moments of popularity were short, and he was finally tor tured and killed by the lead ers of church and state, amid the jeering approval of masses of the people. He himself said that any follower of his must be willing to take up his own cross. “In the world you wall have tribulation,” he said to his disciples.* * • AU Tyrants Hate the Church THE MORE GENUINELY Chris tian the church is, the more it is likely to rim into opposition. There are several reasons for this. For one thing, the church stands for love, and the generosity and un selfishness, the sympathy and even the sacrifice that go with love and are produced by it. But “what makes the world go ’round,” —the world of the politician, the money-maker, the social climber, the war-maker, the world of the power-thirsty in every sphere— what makes that world go ’round is pride, selfishness, shoving- ahead, Me-firstness. The selfish and the proud do not take kindly to love of the Christian sort, indeed they despise it as a weakness. But the church, when it is a true church, stands up for Hu manity even when it has to stand against Profits; and the man for whom Profit is the first law of life never under stands the attitude of the church. Then the church (when it is a real one) always stands for the people against the Ty rant, whoever and wherever he may be, even when he is in some church himself. And consequently all tyrants hate the church. The Roman em perors hated it and persecuted it till they found they could use it (which, by the way, was a bad day for the church). Mohammed, a ty rant of sorts, hated the Christian church and would have totally de. stroyed it if he could. * * * Victory—When? ##t f WE SUFFER with him we ^ shall also reign with him,” ' said St. Paul. But when and how? The end of the church’s struggles could come in either of two ways. One way would be for the church to give up struggling against, the world. Let the church become a club for the sociable, let the church raise no voice of protest against in justice in society, against untruth, violence and greed; let the church give in to the world, in short, and she will have no further trouble from the world. But in that case she would be dead. Another way is for the church finally to overcome the world. The triumph of the true church is the same as the tri umph of divine Love. That is the future to which thy. Bible bids us look. When? We do not know. But the Kingdom comes “one heart at a tim e," and with every soul the church wins from the world-way to the Christ-way, the victory of Love draws nearer.

On Indian* In E asttrn U.S. The American Indian, after Ihrce centuries of competition with the conquering whites, still keeps • precarious foothold in the eastern United States. This is the conclusion 'of William H. Gilbert, Jr., in an extensive re port on Indian survivals east of the Mississippi published in the annual report of the Smithsonian institu tion. Neariy every state, it is pointed out by Dr. Gilbert, has some In dians, although they may not be listed officially as such. In some cases—such as the Iroquois groups of New York, the Cherokee of North Carolina, and the Seminoles of Florida — tribal organization and some degree of racial purity have been maintained. For the most part, however, Indian blood is con siderably mixed with white and Negro. Most of the aboriginal (roups, however, retain a certain identity and consider themselves as peoples set apart from lheir neigh bors. They have resisted social amalgamation with other groups. The Indian population of New England is almost at the vanishing point and is much mixed with white and Negro blood. Vermont and New Hampshire have no Indians, except for visitors and occasional mixed - bloods. Maine leads the Mew England states with an aboriginal popula tion of 1,012, of which nearly •re full-bloods. Alabama has 463 persons with some Indian blood. Less than 2 per cent, however, are full-bloods. The Indian population of Texas is surprisingly low—about 1.000—with somewhat less than a third record ed as pure-bloods. Arkansas has a scattering of In dians—less than 500 altogether. Missouri has only 578 Indians and the census credits Indiana with snly 285. Foresee Medical Advances During Century’s 2nd Half Sensational medical advances of the past 50 years probably will be overshadowed by medical progress during the second half of the JOth century, according to an editorial in the Journal of the American Medical association. Cancer, epidemic poliomyelitis, arthritis, degenerative diseases and some conditions of the central nervous system are listed by the editorial as diseases which doc tors hope to conquer in the “com paratively near future.” “The advances of medical sci ences since the beginning of the 2f)fch century offer convincing evi dence of what can be done when competent researchers can work with freedom, facilities and funds,” the editorial says. “Never in the recorded medical history of the world have there been so many inspiring discoveries the importance of which has startled at times entire nations. While fundamental discoveries have been made by researchers throughout the world, the practical application of these discoveries, es pecially during the last two dec ades, has been effected particular ly in the United States." “Formerly other countries were Tegarded highly for their research discoveries and the utilization of research findings, but more re cently war and the suppression of personal freedom, among other fac tors, have intervened so that today researchers from all over the world look expectantly, perhaps even with envy in some instances, toward the western hemisphere for its sci entific explorations. Synthetic Rubber Outlook There is no prospect of a general shift from natural rubber to syr- thetic rubber in the near future, ex cept in a few applications such as the wire industry, natural rubber will remain the preferable materia! Cold rubber, at present the mo«t prominent of the synthetics, not only is inferior in some respects, but its price is higher than that of natural rubber. Cold rubber, which is produced at freezing tempera tures (about 32 degrees Fahrenheit) instead of under the heat used in making ordinary GR-S, is stronger and tougher than GR-S, and its de velopment after the war was hailed in some quarters as a sensations! achievement which would lead to all kinds of remarkable advances in the rubber world. Building With Stainless Steel The building field has become an important user of chromium-nlckel stainless steels for structural and architectural components which are exposed to the elements. Their high mechanical properties com bined with ease of fabrication, good weldability and corrosion-resist- ance have placed them in markets formerly held by other metals or non-metallic building materials. In 1949 progress was made in the adoption of stainless steels as cur tain wall construction for office and industrial buildings, roofing, gut ters, downspouts and window frames. A revolutionary use of this material during the year was in the construction of several stain- >ss 'sel buildings in the United A PfECEOFCOPf DROPPED OFF A CENDERINSTRUCfC SPREAD ANTHCAX TO AFABW 30 WiLES AWAXIHONC VEAR VtTCDINMJtAHS SUPERVISED WER 36000,000 VACCINATIONS MWE MEXIOkN CkHPAISNAfiNKT RJOT-AND-AianN DISEAS MOCE CALVES ARE KiLLSD BY OVERFEEDING THAN UNSsgFEEDlNG--SVSS Aiwowaw Foundation for AnimiL Hcalui A M MBfif s / PREPARED BY A m erican fou n da tio n f o r a n im a l health GO ERYSIPELAS TAKES ON VARIED FORMS Many fiae droves of swine are ndned becaSse owners delay in finding out just what is wrong with their hogs. For example, two or three lame pigs In a drove or a few with big leg joints, curling ears or bob tails may not seem at all serious. But more often than not, these simple A case of erysipelas lymptor.is may be the outward signs of * herd infection caused by germ- borae swine erysipalas—and a sudden flare with serious losses may follow. Swine erysipelas, perhaps more often than almost any other livestock disease, may appear in a masked or so-called "atypical” form. It can kill a pig without the animal having appeared sick. Or, it may cause an affected hog to linger on for months without normal gain or growth. And the disease is further confusing be cause some outbreaks of erysipe!s3 may look much like true ho,? cholera.Of course, the answer to cholera and erysipelas are entirely different. In some localities cholera may not have appeared for yer.rs. whereas erysipelas may be a more or less re curring problem. Yet hog cholera can jump over wide distances very unexpectedly. And, when that happens, the farmer who ma’.tes a quick con clusion that the disease is erys.pslss, is in for some very serious losses. Similarly, if cholera is supected, Md erysipelas is the real offender, the losses can be heavy.There is only one safe rule when symptoms appear, like those men tioned above. A prompt veterinary diagnosis can determine the true condition, and help save needless deaths. c m s r c a m m . PR3RARID BV AMERICAN FOUNDATION FOR ANIMAL HEALTH CALP DEATHS HIGH: ONE OF FIVE LOST About one cr.’f out of every five that is born never lives to produce milk or bee*. Some calf losircs are bound to oc cur, but if all farrv.ev3 would apply proved preventive end treatment methods, at lenst hs’f of the total loss could fce avoided. Some calf deaths are related to poor feeding and care of pregnant Froper care will save more calves. cow- Poorly ventilated, sunless or unsanitary calf bams are also linked with sick calves. Scours and pneu monia likewise r~n': as top calf killers, while parasites come as a close second. Recent studies h-ve proved just how important hot:::rg can be in saving calves. Even on farms having a long history of high calf mortality, veterinarians and herdsmen have worked out housing systems which have brought a marl:ed decline in the number of calf deaths. In avoiding sick and dead calves a little prevention is ever so much better than attempts at salvaging animals already sick. Before the next calf crop is due. the farmer should survey his CO ." nursery. He should be sure that Ca calf quarters are sanitary, well ventilated and with access to sunlight. AU new-born calves should get the colostrum, or "Iirrrt milk”, but should not be overfed. Colostrum is h\'yh’v fortified with vitamins and miner-’s. It was de signed by nature to give young animals the b5"t possible start in life. Ordinary milk cannot take its place. If previous losses from scours or pneumonia have occurred, it may be a wise elution to have ssrum given to each rew-born c?!f. Ef any calves scour or brer the fceW’y, a veterinar ian shon'd be promptly, as these are s:";:‘.s th~.t denote real danger.

Another Iarg- group of growing forage of the sorghum, family such as Sudan or arrow grass and cane may contain prussic acid, especially if frozen, stunted or wilted. Other plants sensitize animals to the rays of sunlight, causing serious skin trouble or swol len heads.One great danger is that spotty animal losses may be ascribed to poison plants when the true cause is some contagion like blackleg or an thrax. When doubt as to cause ex ists, skilled consultation should be sought at once.. If a livestock owner suspects that a oast’’.rc may contain poisonous forage, he can cut down his risk by allowing one of his least valuable animals to graze there. If the animrl Is unaffected after 10 day? or two weeks, the pasture probably is safe. But as a double check, the owner should keep close watch on the aniQials.

Fluorescent Street Lights Motorists and pedestrians can look forward to more comfortable night lighting on our highways and byways, reports National Patent council. A recently developed fluorescent street light, it is claimed provides a softer, more pleasing light and creates better visibility for motorists, particularly on wet pavement. It is maintained that the !amp has higher efficiency, with a j relatively long life. The new street ’ light is described as a cigar-shaped aluminum tube containing two pairs of eight-foot-long fluorescent lamps. Two long highly polished reflectors mounted back to back di rect the light from the lamps through clear plastic windows to the street. The result is a less glar ing light because it comes from a larger area and because the lamps j are almost entirely concealed I from the motorist’s view. j — :---------------------- j Dental Caries, and Sngar | America’s sweet tooth is one of the main reasons for this nation’s enormous percentage of decayed teeth, a nationally known dental educator says. Dr. John C. Brauer, S dean of the University of Southern California’s college of dentistry, j reports that although the cause and I prevention of tooth decay is con- I troversfal. there is one point of j general agreement — excessive * sugar consumption is a prime fac- | tor. Dr. Brauer points out that • what constitutes “excessive sugar ! consumption’ varies among indi viduals. He explains: "While the reduction in refined sugars and ' other carbohydrates is rccommend- cd strongly, and it may be con- j eluded that dental caries virtually , can be e'iminated by this, pro- I ecdure, one ccnnot dismiss the ! other contributing factors which . have been obser”ed in a small per centile of the poru'a'ion. Roof Cement Sav&s Fuel Roof cement, a product of the - paint industry which is used for repairing leaks and cracks in roofs of all descriptions, helps to cut down fuel bilk by increasing com bustion efficiency. This is possible because of its faculty for adhering 1 to brick and mortar, remaining elastic and expanding or contract- : ing with the surface to which it is attached. It can also be applied to the brick and concrete settings of boilers, furnaces, kilns, oil still? and all other heating equipment to prevent oil infiltration.
