SOVBMBSR25 W8 A N INTELLIGENT traveler in ■ ^Spsln writes to an American friend in 19S3: "We have Just re turned from a slx*day trip to Franco's parodlsc.

We wore told that there U nothing worth while outside M a drid. Nothing but 20 million peo ple living in ignorance end economic slavery!" One has to see euch a country to appreciate how in America wc enjoy what is a . heritage and a teaching of true Christianity.•M«n Are Not Eqiml, But—The crushing of the poor by the rich is one of the sins specially set. down in the Bible as hated by God. (See the Scripture lor the week.) The crushing of the weak by the strong is a problem always with us; but In our country we do at least try to keep the doors of otqiortunlly open for every one. Our Declaration oC Independence says thot all men arc created equal; which is not a /net, we feel.It is our belief. how<{vcr—and let it be remembered, a belief taught by the Bible—that every child born within our borders shall have a fair chance to develop every gift and capacity he has, to go as far as he can go and tu do »s much as he can do for his fanJJy and community. "DemocrHcy” la n word of many good meanings; and the basic meaning is equality uf opportunity.For one thing, we try. at least in p art to see that no child shall be penalized In hla educallon for being bom where ho was and not somewhere else. As a mntter ot fact, of course, not all schools are equally good. Some states have such poor schools, or such poor school laws, that children from there are handicapped in competi tion with children from states «*ith betUr schools. But even where this is true, it is widely felt that this ought not to be. Educational leaders are not complacent about this state of things. Further, many states have equalised their school funds so that children born In remote sections w ill have just as w U - equipped and well • stalTcd schools within roach, as cliildrcn in the larger cities. Fair Ch.anco AL Jobs Another angle of equality of op portunity is a fair chance al job.s. Some one is sure to ask: What hns religion got to do with this? Well, look at the Bible. Paul said thai .1 m an who will not work shall not (jat*->lliat was his rule. We all know the commandment, *'Slx days iihait thou labor." and we all have observed how important it is for the development o l personality that a m an or woman shall have work that suits hU ca]>aclty and gives him a chance to be a pro ducing member of society. So if men arc cut off from the chance to work, or not allowed to com pete for the kind of work for which they are fitted, religion says: This Is wrong, whenever one of God's children is barred from a God- given right. Fair Chancc At Religion ■niere is another kind of equality of opportunity even more impor tant than what has been mentioned. That Is equality of oppor tunity in religion. "Freedom of Worship," as it la often called, is not just the legal right to wor ship under any church roof one pleases. It is the right lo be face<l with the choice God offers us in Christ and to share In his fellow ship everywhere. It is not enough that your community has (as ti 4oes, no doabO a variety at churches. The question is: Is every one in your community equall.v welcome in al) these churches?

Beth was woricing only until she could find someone who would give her a ring and a home. She used her salary to buy expensive clothes to set off her blond attrac tiveness. While I.

Why. then, do I keep thinking of him ? She heard the vender’s chant on the street again and she thought, he’ll buy her something for Christmas. This is only the beginning—for Beth. She checked her thoughts with the sound of their returning steps ni} the stairs and turned to her work, grateful that she had so much to do. She wouldn't have lime to think. Shortly before three o'clock she walked into Jerry's office with the finished work. She smiled and laid the work on his desk. " I hope Fvc made no errors. Jerry,” sJic said. "You haven't.

Our County And Social Security By Louis H. Clement, Manager. Old*agc and survivors insurance is of increasing importance to the working women of the nation be* causc more women of mature age arc entering the labor ranks*While the number of single, widowed and divorced women workerf'has changed but Hale in recent years, there has been a marked increase in the number of married women workers. This number has grown from 7^ mil* lion in 1947 to nearly tO| million in April, 1952.It has been the tendency dur* ing the past decade for women to return to work, or to take jobs for the first time af«er reaching middle age. This trend contrasts with the pre-war period when it was largely young wives in their twenties and early thirties who went into outside employment. Today, the greatest proportion of working wives are in their early forties; even married women in their early fifties are. entering the labor force in about the same pro- portions as younger women, April, 1952 survey reveals. A woman now age 50 will be fully insured for old*age insurance payments at age 65 after about 7h years of covered work. An a< mount of covered work equal to at least une-half the time after 1950 and age 65 or death is quired to be fully Insured.

We were told that (here Is nothing worth while outside Ma* drid. Nothing but 20 million peo ple living in ignorance and economic slavery!" One has to see such a country to appreciate how in America we enjoy what is a heritage and a teaching of true Christianity.• • . * ^ Men Arc Not G q itn l, But— n jc crushing of the poor by the rich is one of the sins specially set down in the Bible as hated by God. (Sec the Scripture lor the week.) The crushing of the weak by the strong Is a problem always with us; but in our country wc do at least try to keep the doors of opportunity open lor every one. Our Declaration o£ Independence says that all men arc created equal; which is not a fact, we feel, iIt is our belief. 1 -and let it be remembered, a belief taught by the Bible—thal every child born within our borders shaJI have a fair chancc lo develop every gift and capacity he has. to go as far us he can go and tu do ns much as he can do fur his family and community. “Demoensry- is a word of many good meanings; and the basic meaning is cqunlHy of opportunity.For one thing, wu trj% at least in part, to see that n» child shall be penalized in his education for being bom where he was and not somewhere else. As n matter of fact, of course, not all schools arc equally good. Some states have such poor schools, or such poor school laws, that children from there are handicapped in competi tion with children from states with better schools. But even where this is true, it is widely felt that this ought not lo be. Educational leaders are not complacent about Ihls state ot things. Further, many states have equalized their school funds so that children bom in re> mote sections will have Jusl as well • equipped and well - stafTed schools within reach, as children in the larger cities. Fair Chancc Al Jobs Another angic of equality of op* portunity is a Cair chancc at jobs. Some one la sure to ask: What has religion got to do with this? Well, took at the Bible. Paul said thai a man who will not work shall not cat—that was his rule. We all know the commandment, "Six days shall thou labor." and wc all have observed how important it Is for ihe development ot personality that a man or woman shall have work that suits his capacity nnd gives him a chance to be a pro ducing member of society. So If men arc cut off from the chatice to work, or not allowed lo compete for Ihe kind of work for which they are (Itted, religion says: This is wrong, whenever one of God's children is barred from a God* given right. F air Chancc At Religion There Is another kind of equality of opportunity even more Impor* tant than whay has been men* tioned. That is equalily of opportunity in religion. "Freedom 'bf Worship," as it is often called, is not Just the legal right lo ivor* ship under any church roof one pleases. It is the right lo be faced with the choice God offers us in Christ and to share in his fellow- ship everywhere. It Is not enough that your commimily has (as it does, no doubt) a variety of ehurehes. The question is: Is every one in your community equally welcome in all (h^se churches? Are there persone in your com munity who nevcir 'ia'ia? to church, because they • • been asked?

And In spite of her effort to push him out of her m in d he had occupied her thoughts since. With Beth Jenkins working there too, she knew it was folly to think ot him. Beth had a way with men.

She checked her thoughts with the sound of llieir returning steps on the stairs and turned to her work, groteful (hat she had so much to do. She wouldn’t have time to think. Shortly before three o’clock she walked Into Jerry’s office with the finished work. She smiled and laid the work on his desk. “I hope I've made no errors, Jerry.” she said. “You haven't Thanks.

Some dark night lie’ll make his .ila.v." Chet Randall was leading about hirt.v nrmcd men. They circled the porch. “I’m sure sorry about the old man being laid up, Sutton.

Clay Fox asked. "W alt and think. Clay. We'll .show him. 1 oncc learned you can bait a bully and a coward with a little fear." In the late • afternoon Johnny Sutton opened the door to his fa* ther's room. The old gentleman ‘ sat up in bed. "You had visitors, son?" "Chet Randall and his boys," Johnny said. 'The cattle?*' '•They’re safe enough. The boys are bringing In the ’strays. "We’ll h a v e the whole herd bimched around the bouse. If ho aims to get our stock he'll have to ride up here to get them.

"You're staying right where you are. If my plan works we can use you, though." " I reckon you’re the boss now, i!on. I'll do what you say." The next night Sheriff Sutton and Clay Pox heard the horses in the distance, Johnny's men w e re staked around the house. Randal] pulled to a stop in the dark shadow ot the porch. "This la it, Sutton. You can't see thon^. but my boys arc ready and waiting to open up if you try anything.""Drop your gun, Randall!’’ Old man Sutton’s voice was loud and clear in the darkness of the night. A candle burned in the upsJalrjt windnw and Randall saw the man leaning on ihe window sill. Win- Chester raised to his shoulder, his night shirt gleaming in the candle light.

We talk and write a. bout health, and teach It In our schools and then encourage and practice the very things that des troy health. Our health books tells us how Injurious tobacco and alco* hoi Is to the body, and yet as an a. tlon we encourage the growth of tobacco and vote for the mauufac* ture of alcohol. This Is exactiv contrary Jo reason, common sense and our best iudgment. Every sane person knows that tobacco and alcohol are very Injurious and detrlmentlal to the human body, bringing on dfsease, shorten Ing life, and killing people by multitudes. People want health, hut do the verv things oftentimes that destroy heaUh. They know the Import ance of keeping nature's laws, but willfully violate those laws, and with seeing pleasure for the time being. However, we wonder how people can get pleasure out of that ’htch brings on disease, suffering and final death. We talk abont juvenile dnlln- qnency, and wonder what (s to be done abont It. and how we may stop so much of It, and vet patro. olze the theatres all over the na- tiou, and pour millions and mil- lions of dollars Into them every year, knowing they are helping themendously to destroy the morals of our youth We voted for wet politicians^ and vote for liquor, knowing that tbjs means the vlo* lation of the lawa of pur netlon, the Imprisonment of our youth, and even parents, as alcohol >aU ways leaps to crime We talk bout bow Important It Is that child-' ren have the right borne Influe thrown about them and yet let our homes be flooded with a very low class o f literature and allow the most worldly, ungodly radio pro. grams that are put on to come right Into j»ur homes. W e talk abont bow Ittiportant It is that our youth keep good company, and yet allow them to go out with beer drinkers,, liquor drinkers, theatre.goers, dnlterers and adultresses. How In consistent!

Old*age and su^ivors insurance of tncreasins importance to the working women of the nation be cause more women of mature age are entering the labor ranks. While the number of single, widowed and divorced women worken^'has changed but little in recent years, there has been marked increase in the number of married women workers. This number has grown from 7i mil« lion in 1947 to nearly lOi million in April, 1952. It has been the tendency dur ing the past decade tor women to return to work, or to take jobs for the first time af.er reaching middle age. This trend contrasts with the pre-war period when it was largely young wives in their twenties and early thirties who went into outside employment. Today, the greatest proportion of working wives are in their early forties; even married women in their early fifties are. entering the labor force in about the same, pro* portions as younger women, an April, 1952 survey reveals.A woman now age 50 will be fully insured for old-age insurance payments at age 65 after about 7| years of covered work. An a- mount of covered work equal to at least one-half the time after 1950 and age 65 or death Is re* qu'lred to be fully insured. Around 5.3 million women workers have children under 18; over two million of these women have youngsters below school age for whose care the mothers must provide during the hours they spend at work outside the house. As survivors benefits are payable to children if the supporting par ent had at least a year and a half of covered work during the three years ending with deatli, mothers now engaged in covered^ work are building this social security insur ance protection.A representative ot the Salis- field office of the Social Security administration wiirbe in Mocks ville on the 1st and 3rd Fridays, at the Courthouse, second fiooi^ at 12:30 p. m.; and on the same date in Cooleemee at the Band Hall over Ledford’s store at 10:00 a. m.

Government Under God LeasoB for Docember 6, 1953 I^V E N toUoy there are people wtio feel thnt religion and pol> Hies don't mix. The answer to that is, if your politics is the kind that won’t mix with your religion, it's either the wrong kind of re> ligion or the wrong kind ot poll* tics, or both. Just as it is not safe tor a man to try to reserve a port of his personal life, keeping It for himself and away from God. so it is not right nor safe to reserve any section of so* etal life and sup> pose that God Dr. Foreman need have nothing to do with it or about it.a * • Government When SU Prior tells his friends to be subject lo "every human institution" he does not mean that all human InslitutionR are what thoy ought to be and what God wants them to be. There are no perfect persons; huw can there be perfect Inslitutions? The truth is between two extremes. One extreme view says: Institutions. including governments, are what they arc by God’s will artd ordinance; therefore we must not erltlel?.e them.‘much less revolt. (This is the view of fascism everywhere and always.) The oth* er extreme says: Since no human institution is or cnn be perfect, let us Christians stick to the one institution of the church, and leave everything else to Ihe realm of sin. But no part ot the world, or of human life, can be safely M l to the devil. If it 1b right to try to make n family as nearly Christian as possible, it Is right to. try to make Rovcrnment as Christian as possible.' God’s will is that we should have government (in Lincoln's great phrase) "under God." That Is to say, gov- enunent is on tho I'Jght line w*cci it is in line with the great prin* ciples of life God has shown us. Justlcc and law sho\iltl (!<• logclh* er. AU government useti Inw: but orUy good governmuni maiccs just law. Above all human laws is the Law of God. "Under God" means not simply that God’s name is used but that his will is really expressed in what the gavernmcnl docs and plans.• ■ • The Governor All good government centcrs In some kind of executive. He may be called Prime Minister, or King, or President. The name does not make much difference. But there has to be some responsible head somewhere, some person who has the right to make decisions and to ordcf them carried out. This is true all the way down from na tional to village organization. A government where it is possible to. “pass the buck" all around in a circle without any one person's being held responsible or havlnit to make a decision, is a bad gov ernment. Both in the Old Testa ment and in the New, the Importance ot the right man at Ihe cen ter ot things is underscored. Under a good king like David or HcTsekiah, the country prospers: under n bad one like Jeroboam or Manasseh the country goes to pieces. TJmes have not changed much.« • » The Governed The great dltrcrcnce between government in the days of Saints Paul and Peter and today. Is that in the Engilsh'spuaklng countries, where tree Biblo Christian ity has had fullest sway, wc have democracy as our form of government. (This is not torgettlng other countries where the same Is true, such as Holland. It is^nl»o not tor- getting that in some countries called democratic, there is nothing of democracy but the name.) Both Paul and Peter, when they wrote of kings and other men ot author* ity« did not picture modern de> mocracy at all. In the Roman Em* pire the monarch were dictators; they were not elected. In our dem* oeratic world the governed are also Che frovernora. Pow^r resides no longer in U>e throne or in the palace; it resides in the people where it belongs. Furthermore, in the modern democratic world, Christian ideals can make themselves felt as tiioy could not in the palace at Rome or Constantinople. Jn ccnluries gone by. Ev erybody who watched Queen Elizabeth's crowning must have been > impressed-by the fact that it was a religious act, performed in a chureb by Christian ministers.

"Go ahead and phone him right now.”“O.K.. here goes." And Frank went to the phone.A minute or two later Frank bung up the receiver and shook his head. “Just what I was afraid of,” he sighed. “When I first started to talk, and wished him Merry Christmas he seemed tickled to death that we’d thought ot them, but the minute I mentioned the in vitation he froze up and said very politely that they had their own plans. He just didn’t believe the story.”Eva looked crestfallen. But after a moment’s silence she suddenly said, ’’Let me have that phone.” and hasUly dialed a number. ”Mr. Aarongaard, this is Mrs. Sanderson.

To be successful, tiow* .ever, the farmer should have a logical play worked 'out s t^ by step.

How much labor is available? With these questions answered, the next step is to plan crop rotation and fertility program. Crops ‘ thai fit best and are most profit* able should be worked into the program.A.livestock program is also of top importance. Livestock can be used to supply a market for,re* sources that can*t be used In other ways. Roughage, for instance.

Just 17 vears ago the first social security account number was is sued to a New .England woman worker* Since then, over 100 mil" lion persons have been assigned account numbers and over 5| mil* lion beneficiaries are now receiv ing payments, totaling about 233 million dollars a month. Each social security accountcard represents a Government insur ance account, and the number oh a card is the key that makes it possible for the . Government to keep that particular social securltv correct. It is the worker's responsibility ro show his social security card to his employer. Also, the work* er is responsible to himself and his family for safeguarding his card. Tf he should lose his card, he should immediately get a du> plicate at the local social security office. He or she should also re sister with the social security of' fice any change in the name under which they work. There are some very important rules to observe about your social security account number card. (1) Show it to every employer you work for— the employer needs your number when he makes out his qtiartcly report o f your wages and pays social security taxes so that your account will be credited properly. (2) Keep your card in a safe place. When you are your fomilv claim benefits, the number will make it easy to indentifv your account. (3) Make sure yoii have only one social security account number.

He is of the opinion that the 22 . per cent htcrcase in cattle pro duction since 1944 in the south will help provide more stability In ' cattle production and prices. He says the south with its mar- . keting of younger and lighter cot- •' tie provides a faster turnover and more flexibility In rate of mar- keting. For those who like lo rt.*- duce booms and bustit in cnttle numbers the recent inci*e.*}sr In cattle In tbe south and southwest-, is a welcome development.

Clement, Manager. A year and a half of work that : counts toward social security pro vides monthly benefits only in case the worker reaches 65 or dies before July, 1954. Some people have been led to believe that a year and a half of covered work are all that anyone needs to get benefit payments un der social security. The length of | time one must work to become insured is determined by the wor ker’s date ofbirth. You will be fully insured when you reach 65 or when you die if | you have at least one quarter of| coverage for each two calendar quarters that have passed since December 31,1950, or after you reach age 21, whichever is later. At least six quarters of coverage are necessary in any case; when you havie 40 quarters of coverage, you arc fully insured for life. The person must have social security credit for enough covered employ ment before 1951 to make u^ the difference. Social Security credit for work before 1951 may be ad ded to credits gained In covered employment or self-employment | after 1950 to give the worker the required amouiit. Another widespread misunder standing ts the meaning, of the a* vcrage monthly earnings on which social securitv benefit payments are based. Some people believe that their average earnings are de termined bv using only the years In which they were engaged in work covered by the law. All years after 1950, from age 21 to age 65, are counted In arriving at the monthly average. Periods of] non-employment, or early retire ment from self-employment will cut down the amount of the aver age monthly earnings and may cause old'age and survivors bene* fit payments to be less than the insured worker or his dependent family expMted.

The record cannot, be complete or accurate unless the worker’s employer does h part by making complete and ac* ctirate tax returns. The employer keeps a rccord of the worker's earnings under social security and makes a report once each quarter. But that report cannot be com*j plete or accurate unless the wage, earner does his or her part.Workers can do their part by making sure that they have a so*, cial security card to show their; employer and see to it that it is copied correctly. “Use It—don’t lose it,” is the advice the Social Security Administrarion repeats over and over about the social se curity card. The law governing social secur* ity is set up to protect the worker and their families and to provide a measure of security for old age ior in event of death. Workers can do their part for protection of themselves and their families by checking on their social secur ity account as ofte.i as once in every two or three years.

British hatters are so desperate they have been manulacturiDg green bowlers. Colors are one answer to tbe trend away from the use of hats by men. Tbe bat m en say they are selling lots, of the brlght*col« ored hats; Colors also are iound in caps for wear a t the beach and on the golf course. But even these sales hsve not checked the trend away from the use of hats, they aiim it sadly. A spokesman for the British lelt-hat manufacturers* federation said 1852 was a year "of catastrophe In the h ls to ^ Of the hatting industry.” Hatters adm it they are fighting an uphill battle. Even bad weather does not put hats on many of their customers, they'say. ^ Super-Fine Glass Cloth Being Produced NEW BEDFORDi Mass.—A New Bedford textile m ill Is producing a super-fine glass-flber doth that measures only .001-inch in thick' ness.

Clcmenc, Manager. Christmas Cime is a Cime when people should think a great deal of the welfare of others, especially for those in their own familtes- 1 It would be a good idea for all wort(crs and self-employed individuals to give considerable thou ght to their social security account because the welfare of their famL lies may depend largely, or in part» upon that account. The Social Security Admtnis- rraclon is doing its best co cake care of che wage record of each person, who works in covered em ployment, whether he or she is a wage earner or a self-employed individual. Over one hundred million accounts are now being maintained and these records are being kept for the entire life of| che worker. The recoril cannot be complete or accurate unless the worker's employer does his part by making complete and ac curate tax returns. The employer keeps a rccord of the worker’s earnings under social security and makes a report once each quarter. But that report cannot be com plete or accurate unless the wage earner does his or her part. Workers can do their part bvj making sure that chey have a so-' cial security card to show their employer and see to it that it is copied correctly. "Use it—don't lose it,” is the advice che Social Securicy Adminisi.racion repeats over and overabouc che social sc- curicy card. The law governing social secur ity is set up CO procecc che worker and cheir families and to provide a measure of securicy for old age or in event of death. Workers can do their part for protection of thennselves and their families bv checking on their social secur- it>' account as ofte-i as oncc in every two or three years. Any worker may secure from the So cial Security office a simple post card form tha; can be used to check the wage account. ^ representative of the Salis* field'ofB^of the Social Security adminjkrah*))!ri>iirbe in Mocksville on ihe i.»t and 3rd Fridays, at the Courthouse,'-second 'floor- at 12:30 p. m.; and on the same date in .Cooleemee at the Band Hall, oveffedford*s store, at 10 a. n?.

A Bronze Age vlUage, predating the patriarch Ab* raham by 1,000 years, has been discovered by an American arch aeologist; Dr; Nelson Glueek, of Cincinnati = and New York, reports he found the village on a hillside at Ain 'MuflAc, about 40 miles south of B ^rsbeda. Jn southern Israel's Negev Deseri. An authority on Biblical archae ology, Glueck esUmatcd the vil lage was founded about 4000 B. C. B e reports he has also discover* ed traces otSO Nabathean villages. The .Nabatheans, who combined seme elements ot Roman, Semitic, and Arab cultures flourished In eastern and southern Palestine from Rom an times unUl after the tide of Christ, roughly SCO B . C. to 100 A. D. ,Glueck said the ChalcoUthlc or Bronze Age village he found was significant as the most southerly discovered thus far In this port of the Middle East. Heretofore there has been no archaeological evidence ot important agricultural settlements In this arid Negev region, he said. The Bronze Age preceded the age in which men first leained to fashion Iron Im* plements and weapons. Glueek's expedition is sponsored by the Hebrew Union College and (be Louis M. Rablnowitz Founda* Hon of New York. New York Garbage Feeds Fish Food MADISON, W is.-A t a meeting o; the American Institute of Biological Sciences, Dr. Charles Powers reported that garbage (lowing into the sea from New York lias a silver lining. It makes for good fishing outside the harbor. “Since the area is just off New Y ork harbor, refuse such as gar bage from the city continually flows out into the ocean. This so- called polluted water is actually beneficial because it serves as a fcrUlizer for the microscopic crea tures which fish feed on. and makes good feeding ground in the area.".Tliere’s another good reason for excellent fisbing In the area, he reports. There’s a strong-prevailing \rind in the area that' carries surfoce water off and causes the deeper water to rise, bringing the choice fish eloser to the surface.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, does nor want any of thefr members to draw relief from their [Government, be., cause we feel the people should support the Government and not have the Government support the people. Back during the depress jion (1936) the welfare program of the Church was instituted to take off the Federal Govemmeat all members who were receiving re lief. In order to carry out such a vast program It was necessary for us to provide employment tos^n within assist these people.’ Proper Iron Heat Gets Best Results Have you ever put a hot iron on acetate fabric and seen it melt at the ^rst touch? Or, have you scorched wool by neglecting to set the dial on your iron? • These are expensive mistakes to make and should make everyone who irons extremely cautious about her ironing techniques. This becomes more true every day as more and more synthetic fabrics reach the m arket Labels are a good guide as to both washing and Ironing care, and should be saved In a file box or folder to aid you. Here are some other general guides to help^vou. Use Low Heat Wool, at its best, retains some of Its natural moisture even after pressing, and it should be pressed with a very low heat plus a press* Ing cloth. Use on the wrong side ' to prevent shine and scorching. Silk is being extensively used for clothing now. It w ill require an ironing temperature slightly lower than wool (about 300*), and best results appear when the wrong side Is pressed. K the right side must be pressed, use a pressing pjoth between the Iron and fabric. Light Pressing Nylon, acrllan, dynei and orloh, 'all synthetic fibers, require only light pressing, and this, with an Iron barely warm. Pressing cloths are recommend* ed for acrilan, dynel and orloii. Nylon, if it needs It. is bcs with steam pressing. Colored nylon garments should be pressed on the wrong side, but nylon seersuckers should not be pressed at all. If you're in doubt about what fabric is made of. or have lost tlie label which would give this Infor* mation, always test an unexposed piece material first with tlie iron. If the material is a synthetic, start with the lowest setting on jrour Iron and- increase only grad- 'ually J searched the records and found the type of work these un fortunate people could do, and becao to give them employment at once. The Church took over mines for coal, dairies, shoe shops, agriculture, canneries, sewing rooms, etc. Each person needing relief received a ticket from his Bishop (Pastor), recommending employment; the person gave an honest days work, and on pay day he didn’t receive a few dollars in cash; he was given food, accord ing to the size of his family; coal and clothing was given. Those who had shoes needing repair, but they didn't need them for themselves, were given to the wel« fare program and the cobbler re paired them, and some person re ceived them. The cobbler like wise received the necessities of life for his family. All this put those people to work and they were^elf-respecting because dole has a tendency to de/ect any one desiring to do thii.gs for themselves. These people did not feel like they were receiving a hand out; they knew they were working for and earning what they receiv. ed. In the end every one kept their morale high. Abou* this time our Government leaders weie destroying catde, hogs and crops, so as to create a scarcity thereby causing a rise in prices to the con sumer. The Church began to build ample storage places. We stored wheat, corn, meats were put on cold storage, dairies were put to canning milk^ making cheese, and sewing rooms began to lay away clothing, etc. By the end of .World War 11, we had plenty of everything on handi The president of The Chunh visited President Truman, and told him we desired to take care of our members in Europe who were needing things. President Trum an told the Church leader, "those people don’t have money to buy your products, if you could get anything to let them have." The Church leader told Mr. Truman. 'iWehave plenty of • everything necessary to provide- them.” Mr. Trutnan asked where we got ir. The lender of the Church said, •‘When tlie Government was de. stroying we began to isave; now we have plenty.” We shipped 168 car loads of supplies to Eu* rope and gave to those people free of charge. We also gave $ 122,000 to the Red Cross to assist them in helping others not of our Church. Our next article will explain how this food, clothing, etc., is provided for the Church now without cost, and how the money was raised to ^ve the $122,000 to the Red Cross.

The Carbon Mono- xine Menace , To escape the dangers of this deadly gas, a motorist should have his cars checked for the presence of carbon monoxide—and thw -take all ordinary precautions: 1. Keep the engine of your car in the best operating condition. 2. Open your garage door be* fore starting your car. Avoid . running the motor in a closed garage, 3. Never run the motor of a ^ stationary vehicle to keep warm. 4. Keep exhaust manifold and gasket right. If tha muffler is de* fective, replace it. 5. Don't be afraid of fresh ait even in cold weather, Keep one window partly open to obtain ade* quate ventilation. 6. Avoid following other vehi* cles to closely, Keeping a Kood distance will help you avoid close, direct contact with exhaust fumes and will permit you to scop safely in care the car ahead is forcde^ to stop quickly.7. The minute a driver or a passenger begins to feel drowsy, dizzy, or drugged, a stop should be made for fresh air. Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas! Even a slight concentration may induce drowsiness, leading to inattention at the wheel — and perhaps - to a serious automiobile accident.You can fight the menace .of carbon monoxide bv exercising common sense and orninary care at ail time.J.

It has been $.*ild (With pardonable exaggeration) that Christ is the only Gob the Christian knows. • Surely this much 11)0 Christian church has always believed: that any notions of God that are out of line with what we know of Jesus arc ou\, of line with truth. Now there are many, things we want to know about God, and some of these things we really do not need to know. But some things we des perately do need to know—everything hangs on it. One question is this: Docs the high God have any concern for. or concern with, the alTairs of our • little planet? Is be so great* that oor prayers never reach him, or if they do, .give him no concern? Jesus is God's answer lo that question. Everything human interested Jesus. Sad things like flmerals, glad, events like weddlngs-peo- p)e*a ordinary problems and their great crises. — wherever people wera, however obscure and “un- important.*' there Jesus of Naza reth was concerned. We cannot believe in Clirist as God's Word and still fancy an indiilerent God. Power Another thing that we seriou.<tly want to know. Is whether God ha» real power; and if so, what kin'- it is and bow he uses it. There ir a notion abroad, strange as S' seems, that God is not really Uh' -ruler of all. but a sort of caiid< date for the throne of the urn verse;, a celestial "Bottnhs P;*mt*r Charlie* who is doing the be«t hr can to gain control but who mi fai has not succeeded.
