05-May! J FOUR THE OATIE RECORD. HOCKSVU.LG N, C.. APRIL 28 IM4 Leader Who Faileil Lesson lor May 2, MM TT IS said that at the time of tbc French Revolution there was one day a tremendous uproar in the streets, ot Paris, and an elder* ly gentleman who had not kept up with the 'news, inquired what it was. “It sounds like a r<tvoIt," said he. "Not a revolt, Sire," was the reply, “—a revolution." A re volt is a revolution that doesn’t ’ ‘'click” ; a revolution is a revolt that succeeds. Yet the success of a revolution is not to be measured by what it accom* plishes there and then. Only as the years go on cnn any man assess a new movement, political or nny other sort. What Dr. Foreman happened to Jeroboam's revolu* tion, the one the prophet Ahijah had approved and authorized? Success in the First ChapterIf Jeroboam had had any ghost writers and if they had written up the story of his political coup, they could have made it sound like a tremendous success. Jeroboam himself was younx, able, and with Immense political sat^acity. He was a good organizer, and he was a popular man. As o labor leader under King; Solomon he knew how to deal with people and as a polilica] exile In Egypt ior . many years what he had not learned about the Ins and outs of inteniatlonal polilics was prob ably not worth learning. He had succeeded in drawing out of the original united Kingdom of Soln* mon ten out of the twelve tribes ••••-that-••comf>D5«V -It-........BJipulatUin.... wealth, opportunity — everything was In his favor, phis the basic fact that a prophet of God wns be hind the movement to begin with. With God and the people on his side, how could Jcrobonm lose? Failure in the Last Chapter When Jcrobonm was some years older, a son of his lay very sick, and the king llioii'^lil again of Uie prophet Ahijnh who hart once been his friend. Ahijnh nuilri ssnrely lell him whether the upil.i would live. But Jeroboam's qiioon. at Ahijah'8 door, met with no wel come. Quite the contrary: ihc old prophet cursed King Jcrohonm and all his house. The rrvojution which had begun with the bless ing ol God upon It. ended by Incurring the anger of God. The king who had begun with such overwhelming success ended as a failure. If the secession of the ten tribes had proved to be a failure, it was not that there was anything sinful in the idea itself, but that the revolution hod been in .Tern- beam’s hands not a means of help ing the people but of doing them harm. .. Who Made Israel to Sin."More than one writer in later times used the same standard formula for this Jeroboam. He is callcd "Joroboam the son of Ne- bat, who made Israel to sin." Thai is a terrible tag to hang on a man; that he is the cause of a nation's sin. But It was true of this man. What in particular had Jeroboam done, as King of Israel, to “make Israel to sin'*? His great sins were two. but they were purt of the same policy. It will be remem- bcrefi that this was shortly after the time of Solomon, and the great temple which Solomon built was still the center of the »x*ligious life of all the twelve tribes. When Jero boam enuiiiucred his revolution, he felt it to be a dangerous thing for the temple to be In the hands of the ivingdom of Judah up there in Jerusalem. So ho organized two other religious centers, at con venient locations. Bethel in the south. Dan in the north; and in those newly appointed “shrine cities" he set up gold-plated calves and other animals as the gods of his ijeople. In two ways among others, this was ruinous to right religion, and led to the decay of the nation. ^ , . God Is Not MockedFirst this involved the sin of making religion a department of the government. As King, Jero boam attempted to dictate (and only too successfully) where and how his people should worship. The priests in his shrine cities were political appointees. Religion was . subsidized by the state. But worse than that: Jeroboam tied the peo- pie down to a crude and clieap kind of religion. For the great In visible God of heaven and earth (see Solomon's prayer in I Kings 8) Joroboam substituted gold-plat ed statues of hull.*; and he-fioats. Debasing rel!- ‘‘ n. r>'based his peopJe. Cherp -■•nd bad religion will ruin a n&iirr f.iKter than Are or famine. rcBwipPBiiit ACROSS t. To provide food 8. Defraud11. Protective garment12. Long guide rope for ahorse IS. Marshy meadows 14.

In Race With Stork LOUISVILLE—A county iJollco cruiser lost a close race to a stoi'k here recently. Walter V. Pierson had started the trip to the hospital in his auto mobile from the family home at nearby Fern Creek. He found traf fic so heavy that he was unable to make very good time. Spotting a police cruiser, he attracted their attention. Patrolmen James Robinson and D e im a r Whitworth transferred Mrs. Pierson to the cruiser and sped toward Kentucky Baptist Hos pital. But, the stork won and a baby was bom en route—a 7-pound. 2-ounce boy. Mother and baby were both doing fine when the hospital was reached minutes later.

A day after it was erected, it was found to be wearing a white apron and a green overall. One woman expressed fear "that we shall get crowds of hoolinans coming into the district with paint brushes, to say nothing of the em barrassment of young girls and children." Residents appealed to Hugh Lin* stead, member of parliament for the district, and the local vicar for help in getting the statue removed.

NEW MOIUnr iOB YOUR OLD nmcs * W*MT M Food Buying Habits A sales Increase of 700 per cent In home food freezers and about 260 per cent in frozen foods since World War II points to definite changei in the food buying and eating habits of the nation. Where the larm er is concerned, two facts are significant: (1) the boom hi home freezers and frozen foods increases the market potential of the larmer'fl crops and (2) the average farmer, who also owns a hdme freezer, has changed his buying habits insofar as concerns the purchase of items he does not himself produce. The consiuner’s ability to store perishables in greater quantities has to a degree lessened his buying resistance, at the. same time offering to the farmer a challenge to Improve and adapt farm prod ucts for freezing. While modern transportation re- .duced the “weekly" trip to town for supplies to a small chore, the home freezer has eliminated all but the need for infrequent trips and the farmer now buys delicacies and perishable items that he or dinarily would not have purchased due to lack of freezing sppre.

S. Meroney, Asheville, N. C. (Continued From Last Week) The year that Kitchen, Horne and Craige put on a battle for the nomination for Governor, the De mocratic convention was held at Charlotte, and Mr. Jones attend ed. Returninc home he came to the newspaper oliice'and gave me a first-hand report on the affair. “It was no placc for a good Dem> ocrat, or honest man, said Mr. Jones. “Whisky and money had more Influence than honesty and fair dealing.” Tliis convention was a dead-lock for several days. Home finally dropped out of the running, and Kitclicn and Craige battled to the bitter end. Kitch en finally got the nomination by political maneuver in which Craige was promised the nomina tion for the next term. Conven tions like this were what destroy ed the old Convention system of nominations, and brought the pri mary system into being. Mr. Jones went to Florida on account of his health, and died there vear or so afterwards. There were two “big nights” in Mocksville which I know will be well remembered by those fortu nate enough to be alive today who were at Mocksville at that time. The first was the night the Bank of Duvie was robbed (or an at tempt made at robbery).

Bverly and Mr. Jim McGuire, rooming in an annex to the Kelly Hotel, were the fii«t persons to get to the sccne, and they opened fire with shotgun and rifle on the robbers, who returned the fire. By that time several others had joined these, and It was a young battle for several minutes. Mr. McGuire and several others w.:re firing from around the comer of the old court house. One of the robber’s bul lets cut the corner from a brick, on line with Mr. McGuire’s head and knoclced brick dust in his eves. So far as it is known, no one was hit. but it got too hot for the robbers and thev took off. These yeggs had arrived a t Mocksvitic by railroad hand-Icver car from the direction of Winston, but were cut off from this retreat, so took the other direction out of town on foor. The ne.>ct day pos* ses were organized, and the search was on, but the trail was soon lost and die hunt given up. After some weeks two of ihese men were captured after a /tough gun battle with the police /in the railroad yard at Monroe,-' N. C They were brought to Mpcksville and placed in jail. The leader was an old fellow by the name of Lang, and it came out thjit he was an old professional safe blower, and had served more than half his life In prison, mostiv in the state of Ohio. His partner was young fellow by the name of Wil. son, and was a Canadian. There were probably ritrce men taking part In the safe«crack.ng, but as remember, the abov« two were all that were capturcd. They jim mied the bank vault with tools I thev swiped from a local black smith shop. The safe was open ed by drilling holes in the top.

His sister An nie ^vas invited but she was sick and couldn’t go. When the party was over the lady ot the house gave each little guest a sack of chocolalcs. The little boy got two. one for himself and one for his sister, just alike. On the way home he stumped his toe, fell down, and when he fell one of the paper sacks broke and the chpco* Intes spilled into the road. “ Poor Annie!” he said. Wc are all like that little boy. There fs something in each ot us that wants more than halt of everything. It anybody is go* ing to take a loss, lot it be some one else! One car will pass another and perhaps the driver ot the car being passed (if he hns no mnnnei'S) will Dr. Foreman yell out of the window: "Rond Hog!” As a matlci- of fact, isn’t a road hog just a person who takes the wide share of the road you’d like to have yourself?• * • Greed and Decoit You might Ihink the little boy jn the story would bo loss ot n grab ber when ho grows up; but ho may bo worse by that time. You might think people coul^ be cured of being gi*ecdy by giving every body just cxnelly the same; but there would bo any number of schemers Oguring how to got Ihelr share increased. You might think people could be curcd of the grab- habit by letting them have all they want: but that seldom works, because some of the groediest people in history have been peo ple who had inore th.in any of their neigiibors. Tlic Bible story of Ahab and the vineyard ot Na- both Is a ease in jioint. It isn’t a story ot the poor stealing from the rich, it is the story of the rich stealing fron^ the poor, which aft er all is n rntlier common occur rence. The story of AUab also illus trates some notable facts about this thing called Groed. One is that greed and deceit gn hand in hand. Ahab told some trrridc lies, and got others to do the .'^ame. all because lie wanted Naboth's vine yard. When Hitler was nn llie rise, he made the solemn siate- ment that all he wanted was the little area of the Sudentenhind; what he really wanted was all of Europe, only it would never have suited his schemes to say so. When a poor man gets Into the clutches of a loan shark, he is never told al first what the rate of interest is. When tlie St. Louis Fost-Dlspatch back in 1808 justly aecuscd some prumiiient citizens of having accepted a quarter of a million dollars in bribes, of course thusc gentlemen denied the whole thing. Your greedy man—or for that matter the greedy corpora tion—all the way from the simple robber who pretends to be the nigin watchman, up to the mon opoly that overchnrges the public —never likes the light of truth on tlie operation. Greed and Murder When a murder has been committed. almost the Jirst question the police ask is: "Whu stands to make money by this crime?*' Murders are iibuut as cnmtnun in tiie country as in the city, in propor tion to the po|)uiation. What is the story back of killings in the rormlaiid.s? Very utten it is some quarrel about a boundary line, about some stuck, about the price of land or produce. Not all mur ders are for tiK> sake of gain; but if a man is greedy enough, lie will not stop nt murder. Penituii- tiaries contain many a "lifer'' who would not be theix- tciday if lie had not been a greedy man.• • « The Prophctic Spirit There must have l)een thousands ol Israelite citl7.enH whn knew Ahab was n ureedy murderous scoundrel. But it tuok the prophet Elijah to come out with the iruth in plain language. Propiiets are not always wild figures In hair cloth rol^s. They arc not always even preachers. A nevvsj>apei> cun have the propiietic spirit. That St. Louis paper, for instance, broke the Teapot Dome scandal; it ex posed a half-million dollar "slush fund” spent by a utility company to bribe a legislature; it defeated a Democrat for governor who had tried to steal the election: and it defeated a Bepubiican by shuwinc that his party was tied up whh those number-one Grabbers, the big-time gamblers. The sijirit of Elijah is not dead; otherwise tlie grabbers might inhi'rit the earlh.. (B usrd on outUiirv iiytl.-lit.-d b}- tlic Divi!>i«ii of t’lirl i'.' • Na-Uonul Council »f «ii.'

WOMAN'S WORLD 1 Learn to Use Body Properly For Housework \;^O N D ERFU L household applU VV ances have been invented, buk all the work has not been taken out Dl housework. Babies still play on the floor and mothers have to lift them from one place to an* other many times a day. Nothtog has been invented to do this, at least nothing as satisfactory as the mother herself! Toys will still have to be picked up by (he mother, usually, in spHo of all childrens' education. Mixes and appliances are great time* savers, but therc‘s still much elean-up work that remains and which cannot be mechanized.The homemaker's own body, tliorefore, constitutes the most important^ Item of household A table that can donlilc as a working sarface or a desk bo that the lady of the house can make up her shopping list eask ly or write out her work plana Is an asset. Another good lea- tore in this kitchen is the clay Ule wainscots which can be cleaned with a damp cloth and do not stain n'lth grease or sleam. equipment. Is she using it prop erly? She isn’t, if she complains of tired, aching legs and feet or back dr all three. Keep Body AlignmentAs long as the natural body posture is maintained, whether U is in walking, sitting, climbing stairs or standing, a minimum of muscular effort and strain is ere- atcd. If however, you must destroy this alignment as in bending the head forward too much as in leaning over a sink or doing sew ing, strain and even pain result if this posture is mahitained. It’s important to remember this when you're working in the home. Do what you can to avoid getting the body out ol alignment in most of your tasks. If it can’t be avoided, then adopt frequent rest pe riods to avoid strain which can cause serious trouble. '• Proper height in working surfaces can help you keep the body in alignment. If a working table is too high, you might try a stool for sitting at the table for doing some of your work, if this gives you the desired alignment. Stooping, Bending Let your legs instead ot your back do your lifting for you. Leg muscles are for stronger than delicate back bones. To illustrate, when you want to lift tlic baby oft the floor, go down with a deep knee bend rather than bending the back. Rise, lifting the baby and pari of your own weight by straightening the legs. Lifting and reaching operations are very tiring and should be cut down as much as possible. How tiring to hang clothes on a line that you have to reach for! How much belter lo have a rack or a lowered line when you. have to hang many countless laundry items!Here’s another tip: keep uten« sils which arc often used in an easily accessible position, rather than in low or high cupboards to save reaching or stooping below counters for them.

A Hot Tip ByOnaF.Lalhrop I'D noticcd Katrina ever since 1 began eating at The Coffee Clip when I came to town as a cub reporter. She wasn’t young any more but she had the nicest smile I've ever seen on a waitress, yet with a sad twist to it, mo. She walked stately and tall like a princess, but she was a glut ton for hard work. •iiere . I’ll do that," she'd say when one ot the other girls started lo till the huge coffee urn or take a loaded tray of riisiies. And they let her. Some* times 1 thought they imposed on her. It was. “Hey Katy, will you flU this order for that fussy lawyer?" nr "How about slicing the big ham?” And Katy always jumped Fiettoi “Uere darling, let me show. you how to fix that." ahe’d say. lo do it. But she never accepted a tip. I was sure there waa a story in Katrina, and there was. but it wasn't for the papers. It was when the new girl. Margo Lynn, came that I really began to wntcli Katy. Siie look that girl «n- <ler her wing like a mother hep and after that. aU Katy’s tips went lo her.'•Here darling, let me sJiow you how lo fix that,” she’d say. Gwen, the black-haired one. seemed lo resent the new girl. She would brush her questions oil with. • Hey, what's under that blonde bob? Didn’t they teach you anyf thing at Stephens?” And you could sec Margo wilt I got to dropping in late when I got the courthousc beat. Margo would be eating her Innch al one of the little tables. One day 1 nm- bJed over. "Minrf ' ' .*:it here?" I questioned.■•Not at an. YouTf .uto, 1 thought everyone was served." She had a nice smile too. Somehow it i'c> minded me of Katy's. Miiybe waitresses were, getting more pleasant these days. "How’s it going?” I asked. “You’re new In town, aren't you?” ”In a way. This is my hon\e town but I’ve been gone—nt school, and around." ^he nibbled lier sand wich daintily. "Oh yeah. Stephens. I hear. Pretty snazzy school, ch? Did you graduate there?” I couldn’t imag ine a Stephens grad working in a restaurant, but you never know. "No. I quit and got married.’' It was then I noticcd the ring. "What does your husband do?” I was nosey but it made conversa tion.“He doesn't—I’m not married to him any more." Just then Gwen came by and hissed. "You’re wanted up front,” and Margo went. I could sec the fellow talking to her, dark, with a mean look in his eye. And then 1 noUeed Katy watching them. Slio looked as it she might boil over any minute, and suddenly she walked to the front. She planted herself between the fellow and Margo who was crying in her wad- ded-up handkerchief. "Get out. Beat it. And never come back. She's through with you." And the fellow went. I stopped Gwen as she went past: "What's ail the drama about?” GWen glanced over her shoulder to be sure Katy hadn’t come back. '*1 guess that’s the fellow Margo was married to—the one that broke her heart^or her spirit.” "Yeah, but what does Katy have to do with them?”"Katy, you dope, is Margu's aunt. She was putting her through school with her work here when she fell lor this .guy. It almost killed Katy, but she let them alone until Margo broke it up and came home. Now she's helping her back to earth again.” "Got her a Job hero with her, eh?” 1 said.“Gave her a job, you moan. This Joint belongs to Katrina. And let me give you a hot tip.” "What's that?" I asked, nil ears. "Never let Katy know that y<tti know she owns this place. She's just one of us. and she doesn’t want anyone to remind her that her people were once royalty in the country they escaped from. She just loves America. She's funny tliat way.” A hot tip all right. But it wasn't tor the paper. ♦ FOR RENT ♦ SPACE IN THIS PAPER Wdl Arrange To Suit GOOD NEIGHBORS-MICES TO FIT yOUR BUStNeSS The Davie Record Has Been Published Since 1899 54 Years Olhos have come and gone-your county newspaper keeps RoinK- Sometimes it has seemed hard to ' make “buckle and tongue” meet, but soon the sun shines and we march on.

Unpardonable Sin Dear Mr. Stroud:—In The Re- cord of April 7th aod also of the 2ist, Rev. J. L. Bennett and Rev. I B. Fitzgerald had an article on the above subject, and I wish to take them just a little farther. Let's turn to the last chapter of Revelations, TQth verse. **And If any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy God shall take away his part out ot the book*of life and out of the holy city.'* Now many times In my short life have I heard many preachers preach. **there la no eternal bell, or everlastine punishment.** Please tell me, preachers. Is not this tsk- ine away from the words of God's prophecy? And wbat kind of an eternal home does a man like that have? If a man has no part tn that holy citv, and his name has been erased from the book of life, has he not committed the unpardonable sin? I have only named one scrip, ture, but T have beard many of them denied. A preacher wbo will mlasonstrne or misrepresent the holy scriptures on purpose, is hell- bound. or I don't know anytblne abont the Bible. Please do not misunderstand tne and think I do not like the preachers of tbe eos* pel. for I do. and 1 wouldn't want to be here without them, but we have so many that will not preach and teach the whole council of God.

Each year, between Congressional sessions, the Capitol is cloaned. polished and repaired. The program brought about the building’s newest look in modem times through the rcmod- eling of House and Senate cham bers. and construction of new roofs for them. In the recess period that Just ended workmen busied themselves pi’ovldlng more and better tele* vision and radio facilities in the Senate gallery and also in the sub* basement on the Senate side. The gallery's radio and television area was partitioned and soundproofed for special programs and inter* views with Senators. In the sub- basement. four rooms were set aside and specially equipped for legislators who might wish to record their speeches, discussions and interviews for the voters back home. Most significant accomplishment during the past recess, however, was completion of a rotunda deco ration started nearly three quart ers of a century ago. Constantino Brumidi. an Italian emigre, began in 1877 a series of 15 proiectcd panels depicting significant events in American history. He died in 1880, after completing seven pan els.His successor. Filippo Costag- gini, completed the eight other sections, using the original sketch es. When placed, the panels failed to fill the available space by 30 feet. Congress rejected all other suggestions until the space was fUled late hi 1053 with three pabit- togs by artist Allyn Cox. Situation Eased By Building Party HEMPHIS-Some 450 people had a party because Bob Martin couldn't associate a name with a face. I Marthi was walking along with his wife wheq he encountered an unpleasant situation. He was un able to introduce his wife to the man who spoke so pleasantly. The face was very' familiar. Imt he couldn't remember the name. . The mystery was cleared when he met the man the next morning In the big office building where both worked. He was A. H. Bosh- wit. a long-time elevator acquaint* ance—one ol those people you see quite often and make polite small talk, but never learn their name. The two men discussed the situ ation and decided something ought to be done to help people in offico buildings get better acquainted. Marita suggested everybody in the building get together for a picnic. They talked the plan over with others in the building and met with enthusiastic response. Practicalbr everyone who worked in the building Uirned out, with thele families. It's now the friendliest building in town. Smort Folks Ploy , TOLEDO.

Only the janitor knew that an un invited guest had slyly slipped into the auditorium. The Janitor had found the visitor—a skunk—behind a radiator In the darkened hall. He couldn't get him out.All went well until the heat was turned on. Then a strange smell began to drift through the audi- torium. *nte Janitor turned the heat down and crossed Ms fingers. Tlte skunk remained quietly behind the radiato^ throughout tbe show and must have enjoyed it. He didn’t use his strongest criticism. Hie audience might have been cold, but certainly not as uncom fortable as they might have been. This I Remember By R. S. Meroney, Asheville, N. C.

Returning home he came to the newspaper office and gave me a first-hand report on the affair. It was no place for a good Dem ocrat, or honest man, said Mr. Jones. "Whisky and money had more Influence than honesty and fair dealing.” This convention was a dead-lock for several days. Horne finally dropped out of the running, and Kitchen and Craige battled to the bitter end. Kitch- ,en finally got the nomination by political maneuver in which Craige was promised the nomina tion for the next term. Conven tions like this were what destroy ed the old Convention system of nominations, and brought the pri mary system into being. Mr. Jones went to Florida on account of his health, and died there year or so afterwards. There were two “big nights” in Mocksville which I know will be well remembered by those fortu nate enough to be alive today who were at Mocksville at that time. The first was the night the Bank of Davie was robbed (or an at tempt made at robbery). This was probably about 1902, as it was before the Kelly Hotel burn ed, and that happened on the night of December 14.1904. The yeggmen were discovered in the middle of the night by someone who gave the alarm. T. 1. Bverly and Mr. Jim McGuire, rooming in an annex to the Kelly Hotel, were the fine persons to get to the scene, and they opened fire with shotgun and rifle on the robbers, who returned the fire. By that time several others had joined these, and it was a young battle for several minutes. Mr. McGuire and several others were firing from around the corner of the old court house. One of the robber's bul lets cut the corner from a brick, oni line with Mr. McGuire’s head, and knocked brick dust in his eyes. So far as it is known, no one was hit, but it got too hot for the robbers and thev took off. These yeggs had arrived at Mocksville by railroad hand-Iever car from the direction of Winston, piled. • Did you ever see a horse but were cut off from this retreat, in hor»eradl.h?“ v “ other d.rect.on out oftown on foot.

When the party was over the lady of the house gave each little guest a sack of chocolates. The little boy got two. one for himself and qm for his sister. Just alike. On ihe way home he stumped his toe, fell down, and when he fell one of the paper sacks broke and the choco* latcs spilled into the road. “Poor Annie!” he said. We are nil like that little boy. There is something in each of us that wants more thim half of everything, p If anybody is go- i ing to take a loss. let it be some one elsef One car will pass another and perhaps the driver of the car being passed <iC he has no manners) will Dr. Foreman yell out et the window; ‘*Road Hoy!” As a matter of fact, Isn’t a road hog ju.sl a person who takes the wide share of the road you’d like to have yourscU? Greed and Deccit You might think the little boy in the story would be less of a grab ber when he grows up; but he may be worse by that time. You might think people could be cured of being greedy by giving every body just exactly the same; but there would be any number of schemers figuring liow to get their share increased. You might think people could be cured of the grnl> habit by letting them have all they want; but that seldom works, because some of the greediest people in history have been people who had more than any ^ of their neighbors. The Bible story of Aliab and the vineyard of Na- both is n case in poinl. It ijjn’t a story of the poor slenllnf' from the rich. Il is the story of the rich stealing from the ponr. which aft er ail Is a rather common occur rence. The story of Ahnb also illus trates some notable facts about this thing callcd Grcod. One is that sreed and docuil no hand In hand. Ahab told some Icr-.-ific lies, and got others to do the .‘swrnc. all because lie wanted Nabulh’s vine yard. Wiien Hitler was on tlie rise, ho made the .solemn sliitc- ment that all he wanted was the mile area of the SuduiUenland; what lie really wanted was all of Europe, only il would never have suited his schemes to say so. When a poor man gets into the clutches of a loan shark, he is never told at first what the rate of interesl is. \Vhen the St. Louis Post-Dispatch back in 1898 justly accused some prominent citizens of having accepted a quarter of a million dollars in bribes, of course those Eentiemon denied the whole thing. Your greedy man—or for that matter the greedy corpora tion—all tile way from the simple robber who pretends to be the night watchman, up to the mon opoly that overcharges the public —never likes the light of truth on the operation. Greed and Murder When a murder has been com mitted, almost the lii'St question the |)olice ask Is: "Who stands to make money by this crime?” Mur ders arc about as common in the country as in the city, In proper- tiun tu the population. What is the story back of killings in the farmlniids? Very often il is some quai*rel about a boundary line, about some stock, about the price of land or produce. Not all murders are for Lhu sake of gain; but if a man is greedy enough, he will not sto|i «t murder. Peniton- tiarjes conlaln many a '‘lifer” who would not bo there today if he had not been a greedy man. The Prophetic Spirit There must have been thousands of Israelite cltizcns who knew Ahab was a greedy murderous scoundrel. But it took the prophet Elijah to come out with the truth in plain language. Prophets are not always wild figures in holr> cloth robes. They are not always even preachers. A newj5papcr can have the prophetic spirit. That St. Louis paper, fur instance, broke the Teapot Dome scandal; it ex posed a half-million dollar "slush fund” spent by .a utility company to bribe a leglslalure; it defeated a Democrat fur governor who had tried to steal the election; and it defeated a-Republican by showing that his party was tied up with those number-one Grabbers, the big-time gamblers. The spirit of Elijah is not dead: otherwise the grabbers might iniJtrii ihe earth. rrcKK service.) T^^ONDERPUL household oppU- V V ances have been Invented, but all the work has not been taken out of housework. Babies stili {day on the floor and mothers have to lift them from one place to an other many times a day. Nothing has been invented to do (bis, at least nothing as satisfACtory as (h« mother herself! Toys will still have to be picked tip by the mother, usually, in spite of all childrens’ education. Mixes and appliances are great time- savers, but there’s still much clean-up work that remains and which cannot be mechanized. The homemaker’s o%vn body, therefore, constitutes Ihe most important*' item of household A table that can double as s working surface or a desk sO that (he lady of the bouse can make up her shopping UsI easi ly or write out her work plans Is an asset. Another good fea- tnre In this kitchen is the clay Ulo wainscots witich can b e ' cleancd with a damp cloth and do not stain M'lth grease or steam. - equipment. Is she using it prop erly? She Isn’t, if she complains ot tired, aching legs and feel or back or all three.Keep Body Alignment As long as the natural body posture Is maintained, whether it 1s in walking, sitting, cllmb^g stairs or standing, a minimum of muscular efTort and strain is cre ated. If however, you must destroy this alignment^as In bending the bead forward too much as In leaning over a sink or doing sew ing, strain and even pain result if this posture is maintained.It’s importani to remember this when you’re working in the home. Do what you can to avoid getting the body out of alignment in most of your tasks. If It can't be avoid ed. then adopt frequent rest pe riods to avoid strain which can cause serious trouble.Proper height in working sur faces can help you keep the body In alignment. If a working table is too high, you might try a stool for silling at the table for doing some of your >york. if this gives you the desired alignment Stooping. Bending Let your legs Instead of your back do your lifting for you. Leg muscles are far stronger than delicate back bones. To illustrate, when you want to lift tlie baby off the floor, go down with a deep ; knee bend rather than bending the back. Rise, lifting the baby i and part of your own weight by ! straightening the legs. Lifting and reaching operations are very tiring and should be cut down as much as possible. How tiring to hang clothes on a line that you have to reach for! How much better to have a rack or a lowered line when you have to hang many countless laundry items!Here's another tip: keep uten sils which ore often used in an easily accessible position, rather lhan in low or high cupboards to save reaching or stooping below counters for them.

I. .------------------■ NUMBER 42 A Hoi Tip By Ona F. Lalhrap I D noticed Katrina ever since 1 began eating at The Coffee Cup when 1 came to town as a cub reporter. She wasn’t young any more but she had the nicest smile I've ever seen on a wal^ ress. yet with a sad twist to It, too. She walked stately and tall like a princess, but she was a glutton for hard work. ’•Here. I’ll do lliat.” she’d say when one of the other girls started _ to nil the huge coffee um or take a loaded tray of dishes. And they let her. Some times 1 thought they imposed on her. It was. ”Hey Katy. will you flU this order for that fussy lawj|er?*’ or “How about slicing the big hnm?” And Katy always jumped rinm I got to dropping in lale when I got the courthouse beat. Margo would be eating her lunch at one of the little tables. One day 1 ambled over. “MlntI ' sit here?” 1 questioned.“Not at all. Yoii'rt .iiie. 1 thougiit everyone was served." She had a nice smile' too. Somehow it re minded me ot Katy’s. Maybe waitresses were getting more pleasant these days.•‘How’s it going?” I asked. "You’re now in town, aren’t youV* "In a way. I'hls is my home town but rv e been gone—at school, and around.” She nibbled her sand wich daintily. “Oh yeah. Stephens. I hear. Pretty snazzy school, ch? Did you graduate there?” I couldn’t imag ine a Stephens grad working in a* restaurant, but you never know. “No. I quit and got married.” it was then I noticed the ring. “What does your husband do?” I was nosey but it made conversa tion.“He doesn’t^I'm not married to. him any more.”Just then Owen came .by and hissed, “You’re wanted up front," and Margo went. I could see the fellow talking tocher, dark, with a mean look in his eye. And then 1 noticed Katy watching them. She looked as If she might boil over any minute, and suddenly she walked to the front. She planted herself between the fellow and Margo who was crying in her wad- ded-up handkerchief. “Get out. Beat it. And never come back. She’s through with you.” And the fellow went. I stopped Gwen as she went past. “What’s all the drama about?” Gwen glanced over her shoulder to be sure Katy hadn’t come back. "I guess that’s the fellow Margo was married to—the one that broke her heart—or her spirit”“Yeah, but what does Katy have to do' with them?""Katy, you dope, is Margn’s aunt. She was putting her through school with her work hero when she ftell for this guy. It almost killed Katy. but she let them alone until Margo broke it up and came home. Now she’s helping her back to earth again.”“Got her a )ob here with her. eh?” I said.“Gave her a job, you mean. This joint belongs to Katrina. And let me give you a hot tip.”“What’s that?” t asked, all ears. “Never let Katy know that you know she owns this place. She’s just one of us, and she doesn't want anyone to remind her that her people were once royalty In the country they escaped from. “Here darUng. let me ahow you how to fix ihat,*‘ die’d aay. to do it. But she never accepted n tip. I was sure there was a story in Katrina, and there was, but it wasn’t for the papers.it was when the new girl. Margo Lynn, came that I really began to watch Katy. She took that girl un- der her wing like a mother hen and after that. aU Katy’s tips went to her. '"Here darling, let mo show jrou how lo flx that," she’d say.

In a 6r s t' teat m arket Fast Approaching Wifh Air Service WASHINGTON-The age of ^*a helicopter in every garage'* may not be as far away as you think. In a manner of speaking, the age of helicopter airlines is already here. Although the first commercial air worthiness certificate was granted a hcllcopter Just seven years ago, a reccnt report states that more than 10 per ccnt of the nation’s population live in communities served by helicopter airlines. These 18.75 mlUIon Americans are inhabitants of one of the 84 communities In the Los Angeles, New York,, and Chicago areas which are served by the nation's three certined helicopter airlines. An additional 46 communities have been certined by the Civil AcronauUcs Board for helicopter service and will be Integrated In the present system as additional equipment and operating facilities become available. The three lines in operation to* day use 17 helicopters which vary in allowable passenger capacity from 2 to 12 persons. All three lines are not yet carrying pas* seneers—only one—operating In the New York area. The other lines are being developed slowly to de* termine the trafllc potential and to define the current markets for this type operation. The full impact of the helicopter is yet to be felt, however. The revolutionary craft performed tre mendous tasks in Korea, deliver* Ing food and evacuating wounded. Other uses around the world in* elude spraying crops, and deliver* ing supplies and small equipment to otherwise inaccessible locations. Now. the ’copters are coming in* to their own as practical transportation vehicles. Dog Blood Bonks Proving Successful ITHACA. New York—Now ifs btood banks for dogs, says Dr. Robert W. Kirk of Cornell Univer* sity where a blood bank has been in operation for a year at the State Veterinary CoUege Small Animal Clinic. Describing the operaUon of such a blood bank, he said that a large dog may give a pint of blood as often as every six weeks and he urged veterinarians to adopt sim* liar methods of collection, storage and administration, since the Cor; nell operation had proved success* lul. Chief use ot blood for dogs in* jured in accidents or suffering from shock or anemia. Only equipment needed, he said, is a commercially available vac* uum-sealed pint jar with preserve* tives and anti-coagulants already added. Blood is drawn from the heart or jugular vein of a dog un* der anesthesia. It may then be kept under refrigeration for 18 days. If not used, it should then be discarded. Dogs, as humans, have blood ty p e s , the Cornell veterinarian noted, but no breed has a particu lar type. In an emergency, he ex* p la in t no serious effects will be evident If blood type is not estab- Mshed for the first transfusion. Folks Are Generous, Will Share the Measles HENDEnSON, Ky.-Kind-heart- ed folks will share anything-^ven the measles, so now little Shirley Ann Thurmond is happy about the fact she could have had all the measles she wanted. It all started when the two-and- a*half*year*old girl's doctor recommended she catch a good case red measles to combat neph*‘ rosls. a kidney disease, which caused her to spend 90 days of the last year in the hospital. Measles In the Infectuous stage, the doctor said, might combat the more serious disease. Hardly was the story printed.before of* fers started coming In.' The mayor of New Martins* vflla, W. Va., wired that a fuU* scale epidemic prevailed in his town. Tiie operator of a children’s nursery In Atlanta, said one case had broke out and she expected 90 to 70 more, so why didn’t Shir* lay Ann come on down for a visit. Other offers poured hi to news* papers and most were the kind 'fiU rW needed—shigle cases of ^Infeetuous red measles. First of* ’fers were not accepted, however, because Shirley’s mother thought weather c<mditions too bad for Shirley to travel. They decided to wait a tew d m and select a c a u closar to bom*. * TIME TO PAY UP A stout womatt, wedged Into a crowded streetcar, had difficultv getrlng her fare out of the pocket of her tightlv buttoned jackct. 'Madam.** said the man next to her, during her fruitless struggles, “let me pay your fere.’* She indignantly protested. **Please let me pay your fere,** he persisted. “You have already unbuttoned my suspenders three times trying to get into your pocket.” WHAT KEPT HIM? The business man signed a new fire-insurance policy and that night his fectory was burned to the ground. The company suspected fraud, but had no proof. The only thing the manager could do was to send the pollcy-holde. the following note:— 'Sii—You took out an insur ance policy at 10 a. m. and your fire did not break out until 7 p* m Will you kiiidly explain the delay?” PROOF ENOUGH **lt appears to me that this man is abnormally Jazy,” said the of ficer.

(Continued From Last Week) A soap cup was formed around the small holes and nitroglycerin Doured in. Heavv blankets were put over the safe co deaden the sound. If they got any money at all, it was a very small amount. These yeggs, were held in jail until regular term of court, and were tried and convicted and each given a term in the pen. They were defended by a Mr.McNinch, lawyer from Charlotte. McNinch was one of the most brilliant cri' minal lawyers of the State, and he really heckeled the witnesses, especially Tom Lyons, a colored fellow. Tom was a star witness for the State, and his testimony went a long way in convicting the men. Tom was a sort of a handy man at the Swicegood Hotel, and he idei.tilied Lang as the same man who spent a couple of nights at the hotel just a few nights pre vious to the bank job. Lang, I believe, died at the N. C. State Pen, and Wilson probabV finish ed his time. The day after this was a Roman holiday In Mocks- ville; business was at a standstill, and everybody was on the look out for the yeg^en, and the sur- rounding territory was pretty well covered, but no trace of the men found. [Editor's Note. Lang develop ed tuberculosis while in prison. He was pardoned to go home to die, but was later killed in New York while staging a robbery.] Tfie Kelly Hotel was located where the Davie Courthouse now stands. It was a large two-story building of log construction, with a single story annex on the north side. For many years the Kelly Hotel was the center of social ac> tivity in Mocksville. There many balls, dances, skating parties and receptions were held, and it was the lodging place for many prom inent persons who arrived in town. On a very cold, dark and still night this famous old hotel went up in smoke. This was on De cember 14, 1904, and the guests lost practically everything they had. Fortunately, only one life was lost, and that was a bi< d dog belonging to Hollowav Puss. Miss Jane Austin suffered severe burns, but soon recovered. Practically every citizen of Mocksville was a* roused by the cry of Fire, and they all gathered near the old court house, but no one cou d do any thing about it. As in most such catastrophies, there was both com edy and tragedy. A Mr. Williams, who was a salesman for a Wins ton grocery company, had a shot sack full of money, mostly silver, which he had collected that day. under his pillow. He grabbed this sack with the intention of pitching the money out of the wiiidow. He got hold of the wrong end of the sack, and the monev was scattered all over the room and the empty sack went out the window. A young couple, were sptmding their honeymoon in the hotel. They got out with nothing but their night clothes on, and were standing shivering, and she crv- ing, when she remarked, **l never thought my honeymoon would be like this.” This was a young man by the name of-Brown, and 1 believe he was a salesnian for a lumber company.

Favor Central Hiqh School About 200 citizens from all sec tions of the county met at the court house last Tuesday evening Co diA'Citsf the consolidation of the Mocksville, Cooloer.ee, Farm ington and Advance High Schools Into one central high school to be erected in tliecenrcrof the county. Superintendent of Davie Coun ty Schools. Curtis Price, reported that all sections of the county was represented and not a dissenting vote was cast. Bovce Cain, chairman of the Davie County Board of Education says he will call the countv board into session soon co begin plans for the coi solidated unit. Mr, Price says the county has about $496,000 available in State school funds with which to build the consolidated unit. Tins in cludes funds Irom the first school bond issue which haven’t been used, although they have been al located. ; Mr. Price says available funds will be suflicient to build class rooms for the central school, bur not suflicient for an auditorium and gymnasium. The four coun ty high schools have an enroll, ment of about 600. The present cletnentarv schools will remain where r»ow located. The new building will not be located in Mocksville, it is said, but will be constructed on a site of around 30 acres, near the cen ter of the school popul.uion. The Record doesn’t know where the center of ihe school popula tion is located, but would guess it to be about three miles south of Mocksville on the Salisbury high way. The ccnter of the cotnity, we think, is about three miles northwest of Mocksville, near the Winston-Salem highvvav. Our County And Social Security Bv Louis H. Clement, Manager. Every week many individuals call at our office who think their last liames are a bit unusual and that the Social Security Adminis tration should have no difficulty in locating their records. But odd ly enough, no matter how unusual thev may seem, their names are probably, duplicated many limes over in the more than 112 million accounts set up in the Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance central record keeping office In Baltimore It Is for thl:i reason that it Is al> ways stressed the importance at tached t j the social security num ber issued to each of these 1 12 tnlllion men. women, and child ren. Each has a different num ber. The number and name to gether assure accurate reporting by employers. Workers who change jobs and show their social security card to each new employvT need not fear about the accuracy or comple-e- ness of their accounts. But work ers who reiy on memory, or fail to report their numbers at all, cause hardship for the employer, who then sends in an Imcomplete re port and gets blamed fordoing so. , Fortunately the follow-up system I used by ih-; Social Security Ad- I ministration accomplishes identi- , fication of many items. The con* siderable correspondence and per sonal contact w'ith employers and ' workers Involved in this tdentifi* !catio.i of many items. The con- side able correspondence and per- j sonal contact with employers and workers involved in this Identifi- catioii process add needlessly to the admisiratfve costs of the pro gram. Workers are urged t o guard their cards and always show them to a new employer. The self-employed should be sure to show their ntimbtw on their an nual social security tax reports. A representative of the Salts- bur\* office of the Social Security adtninisiration will be in Mocks ville on the 1st and 3rd Friday, at the Courthouse, second floor at 12:30 p. m.. and on the same date In Cooleemee at' the Band Hall, ovwr Ledford’s store at 10:00 a. m. Vfheat Marketinq Quota For 19M We would like to give a Uttio wamlog to prospective wheat buyers lo tbe coon, ty ilnce there might be owne wheat far* mere who have plaoted and will mU ex cess wheat. .O. E Driver, Chairman the Cod Dty ASC Committee said today. Marketing quotas are In effieet for the 19S4 wheat etop. and rarmers who do not comply with their wheat acreage allot* ment become sobjecr to a Hen on cbeir crop until the marketing quota penaltr Is | paid. Buyers might not be aware of the requirements of the program and for this leoaoD they mi ht buy from the farmer wheat on- which there is a (fen that ther would become liable for. Every time a .buyer purchases wheat from a producer, he should make certain that such produ* cer is eligible to sell his wheat. At tto time of sole, tbe buyer ebouM request the producer to present a wheat'‘marketing card or marketing cettlflcate. But If the producer fails to present a marteiing card or certificate at the lime of sale, there Is 00 evid«nee thet tbe wheat is dear of a lien for the penalty and the buyer will be held responsible (or the lien just ae be would be for purchasing wheat with any other lien attached. In case an interme diate bur«r resells tbe wbeet, the pur chasing warehouse may deduct the a- mount of the penelty on all wheat pur* chased from the total purchase price, just as if he were buying from a producer. If Ibe seller cannot praseoi evldeoee that the penalty has been satisfied. These pettaUy collections should be forwarded to the County ASC Office for tbe county in which the wheat was produced. While we were talking about wheat Mr. Driver said. “We would like to remlod wheat farmers that June 1st is the final date by which wheat growers may use wheat acreage for green manure or pas* tore or bay if such acreage is not to be measured os part of the whe^t allotment. Also farmers are reminded that there is still time for them to buy or build storage bins for tbeir grain. Producers desiring to make other use of their wheat then to harvest it as grain, or producers derirlng more infomiation on where bios can be iiurchased. should go by thelrCounty ASC OfHce for this information.

The causo o£ the war wos beyond criticism, ns those days went. The enemy controls one ot our cities, and we aim to got it back. Armies and nations iiove argued like that since the beginning of history. So It looked to the two kings. Jelioshaphat and Ahab. on tlie eve oI thotr military adventure in Ramolh-Giluud. That was tiie name of a city which had been in Israeiile hands generations before this and now for som e tim e hnd been under the f domination of thu - ag g re ssiv e and • land*himi?ry coun* ti*y of Syria. Jo- hoshnphat, King of Judah, had been a strong and wise king ns kint^s went in JudH h; nnd Dr. roroman even Aiiab. bad as liis reputation is In history, had been a rather strong king of Israel. These two, uniting againsl Syria—how could they lose?• * « Yes-Men Ahab was never bothered by a conscience, but Jehoshaphat had misgivings. He sincerely wanted to know iio%v God thought of aU tins. He felt in his heart that if God did not njjprorc, t)ie whole venture was sure to fail. So he asked his royal uolleague Ahab to ilnd out what was tlie word of the Lord about all this. This was Jehosha- phat’s Arst mistake, for Ahab was the last man to know, or to want to know, the will of God. How ever. Ahab, being \ip>tn>date and very rich besides, hod a stable of yes-men whom he ealJed prophets, men he hired, men who knew on which side their bread was buttered. It seems ridiculous to call such men prophets, but false prophets look and sound very much like true ones—ospecially when they tell us v.'hal we want to iiear! So Ahab called a meet ing of those yes-men and asked them the qucslj.wi; Sh.ill I go to battle? Their answer wiis prompt, it was just whai tlic ki 'c wanted to hear, ns they well Ivi:e\v. U^iat is God's tt'ill? Go, by all jncims. What will como of It, how will the battle go? Ttic Lord \ri}l ^>ive it into King Ahab's hands. Two lies; perhaps the prophets knew it, pcriiaps not. Perhaps they did not care whether it was true or not; all they knew was what tiiey were paid to say, and they said it. “Whom the gods destroy, they first make mad,'* says an ancient Roman proverb. We could revise that and not ba far wrong; Whom God wishes to destroy, he first sur rounds with yes<men. Truth No Matter What Jehoshaphat was stlU nervous Unanimous opinion about a de> batable question is suspicious in any language. So he asked if the king had any more prophets. Well, yes, Uiere was one. a man named Mlcalah—only you will never hoar anything good from him, said Ahab. However, Micalah was sent for, and in his coming and in what he said he put his name on the honor roll of history. Mi- caiah had eveiTtliing agninst him; the vote in the Prophets' Associa tion wa.<t 400 to 1; the king would not believe him, tlie war would start, and would fall, anyhow; and furthermore Micalah himself would never be thanked for telling the truth and might end his days eating bread and water in jail. Neverlheloss, Micaiah. being a true prophet, knew what the truth was. knew God’s will and mind, and darod In speak it out. The world needs Micniahs. Wo have any number of men who will tell the truth when It is popular, when people will believe them, when It “gets them” something.• » • 400 fo I This story shows, moreover, what a mistake it is to dricide what Is right and wtmt is wj-ong by counting' votes. Even if the vote is 400 to 1, the one man may be right. Even if Micaiuh were silenced (as he was> and his “sour note”—as Ahab thought it —no longer disturbed that beauti ful harmony of the 400 yes*men, they still could not make u He true by agreeing on it. In a democratic country 3ike ours we tend to forgot this. We decide so many things by popular vote, that we come to suppose we can settle what is right and what is wrong, by popular vote. We read in a book that a great majority of people interviewed by the author do what we 'hrx- ■ -hvoys known was wrong. . . u . c .u n L - 1 11 >■ < ‘•■‘".I'lto "hi Chemical Kinship Points to Danger New Sprays Same As Wor 'Nerve Gas' Form safety experts are point, ing out a chemical "kinship” In warning orcbard operators and fanners to ti«at tho new «pray materials — Porathlon, Diledrin, T.E.P.P. and others—as {potential killers, not only ot tarm insects but also of human beings and livestock if handled carelessly.

Grand Champ Isolation Unit Plan Prevents Diseases Farmers concerned with swine disease will be interested in an “isolation unit” plan for raising disease-free baby pigs. The units, as described in the American Journal of Veterinary Research, have already been used in viral infection research, and in limited experiments on the dimi- nation of disease from herds. The Isolation units are tightly sealed compartments in which the air is changed constantly • through sterile filters which screen { out all the disease organism. Thus the baby pigs arc raised in infection-free surroundings. Experimenters say one possible use of these units is to eliminato such diseases as atrophic rhinitis, brucellosis, erysipelas, tranmissl- i ble gastroenteritis and dysentery from extremely valuable blood lines. Pigs from prize gilts could i be raised In these units, to break I tho p]g-to-pig contact essential to ; the transmission ot many swine diseases. In experiments so far, a colony of pigs has been raised to breeding age free from TGE and dysentery, two diseases which plagued the herds from which they were taken. The pigs raised in isolation were adapted to ordinary farm condi tions after they matured. Means Everything, a sleek 1,050 lb. Herefoj-d steer, was named grand champi«»n over all breeds at the 10rj4 National Western Stock Show in Denver.

Terbium i sT I ppP The White Lie By John Ctnnolly Da v e powers made the tough est dccl.<«ion of his life outside of ihc Byficld Building. Probably he hod been thinking about it un consciously since his mother’s fu neral that bleak winter's morning, n funeral ho had been just barely' jihlo to pay for. He entered the building with his mind made up. Stepping out of the elevator on •he top noor. he walked briskly, hurriedly, as if any h e s ita tio n would deprive him of his objective. As he turned into Ute _ corridor he saw the giri opening the large window at its end. He wondered about her pui*pose In doing this until he saw her put one Imee over the slU and begin boosting herself up. Dave ran the length of the hall- way and grabbed the girl around “Go ahead and cry,” said.*' A good cry may be |w l wliat yea Deed." the waist. He puUed her back Inside and held her against the waU. "What are you trjing to do to yourself?” he shouted at her. He felt himself shaking with panic at the thing this girl almost dooo. • Why didn’t you let me alone," sho cried. ”Oh. if you hadn't come It would all have been over by now." She began to sob quietly nnd spasmodically. “It had taken me so long to get the courage to open those windows. And now you've ruined everything.” Dave ofTered her his lapel pocket handkerchief. She took it and be- wiping at her eyes and usla( it to stifle her sobs. “Go ahead and cry,” Dave said. “A good cry might be just what you need. Do you want to tell me about U? may help too." "No. No,” she saio. simking her head vigorously. "Go uway. Leave me alone. Can’t you see I don’t want your help. I’m beyond help.” "No one is beyond help.” Dave told her. ''And things are never as black as they seem, especially' for one as young and pretty as yourself.” "What do you know about it?" the girl said heatedly, looking di rectly into Dave's eyes. "Yoimg and pretty, that got m'e a flnc hus band who was killed in Korea last year. Yoimg and pretty, that cost me my job last week when the bosB‘8 new wile took one look at me. It's why a lot of people arc afraid of hiring me because ot their wives, and others want to hire me without finding out If 1 can take dictation.” Dave Powers smiled in spite of himself for the first time that day "It’s the first time I ever heard anyone complain about being at tractive,” he said. ”In fact, most young ladles don’t even admit It Tliey like to hedge around the mat ter as a rule.” “X didn’t admit it,’' she said, her eyes biasing. ”I was just using your own words.” Dave smiled again. This was a good sign. Then he reminded him self of their incongruous situation, and ot the fact that this charming person had Just been Interrupted in an attempted siUcide. "I take it you’re a stenogra pher,” he said. “I think I know of a firm who could use a good stenographer. Would you be in terested?” ”Would X? 1 couldn't begin to thank you.*'”Ifs not much of a firm, a young architect trying to make both ends meet. The pay wouldn't be much to start.” She looked him directly in the eyes again, so disconcertingly that he turned away momentarily. "Are you the architect?” ••Yes,” Dave sold. ”Would you mind that?'*“I'd love working for you,” the girl said, meaning it.“AU right then, it's settled. Let's have a cup of coffee downstairs, and we'U run over to the omce.” As they walked to the elev<*iior the girl said, "It's lucky you came along. I must have gone crazy foi a minute. What brought you up here, business?”"Yes,” he said. That was the only, lie he ever told the future Mrs. Powers. He never did toll her he had gone to the top fiooi- of the Byficld Building for thu same reason as her ouo.

Jesus knew that bis fame had began to cover Jemsalefs and he asked she Qnorum whom the citlxens.of tbe country said He was. And Peter being tbe presld. Ing Apostle answered that some said he was John the Baptist raised from the dead, others said he was one or more of tbe old Pbophets raised from tbe dead. Then the master asked "Whom do you say that I Che son of man am** Peter answered In no nncer- tain terms'* **Thou art Christ, tbe Son of the living God.” lesus complemented ‘he Apostle for this statement and told him upon that rock (principle) he wonid build his Church. The thing that Impresses me ss well ss other Christian peo. nle today Is the fact Jesns was In. terested in having people know who he was and that he was the Son of God. it lead* np to tbe point of how many of our leaders today know that Tesns Is the Christ, Not too long ago I beard a fine young minister of the Gospel say while be w as doing missloner^ work In one of our Southern Cities he eitlfier called over the telenhone or asked In persons twenty nine pastors of vaslons denominations If thev conld say without qnotlnsr srrlntnre from ow n Vnowledg**, that Tesns Is the Christ.

T. L.*BENNETT. DurIiam|N.M:, New York State Says It Makes Most Everything ALBANY, N. Y.^You name It, and the chances are some Arm In New York State makes it. A study of the "Industrial Directory of New Voric State” reveals that virtually every known industry In the United States is represented somewhere in the state by at least one business concern. Ot the 469 Industry categories set up by the tJS Department ot Com* merce, no fewer than 462 are rep resented among the 50,000 New York State firms listed In the 1.000 page directory. The seven typos of industries not found in the directory are ones which would not ordinarily be lo* cated In the state for climatic or economical reasons. Among them are tobacco-stemming and cotton seed oil mills, beet sugar, bee> hive coke ovens, and fuel briquets, the latter a product of the waste from large soft coal mining oper^ ations. The gum naval stores in dustry. which flourished in the state when the saUing ships ruled the high seas, is no longer rep resented among its industries. The remaining category unrepresented in the state is '^special sawmill products.” The diversity of products made by state industries range from . abacuses and acetates to xylophones, zinc and zithers, and in clude such items as cosmetics, feed bags, escalators, glass, hydro gen, locomotives, photopltometers, rocket motors, titanium, washing maclUnes and wire, all the way down to “Zwieback.” The directory lists over 7.000 products made by the SO,000 firms included in its pages. Benefit Plans Hurt Older Folks More HINNBAPOUS-Employees' re- tirament pension plans and other beneflts—those much prized pro grams for woricers' seeuri^ de veloped in the past thirty years— ara the biggest barriers to the old er Job-seeker in his search for em- pk^ment, accordhig to a survey made by a life Insurance agency. ,A10>ough tbe survey revealed en- couraging improvement in place* ment ot older workers during the past year, tiie 12G agencies report* ing named pension programs and oOtar employee benefits the chief obstacle to the employment ot old- ar people. Plain erithmetie pro* vides the answer: With retirement ly at 65, it takes four times as large a contribution per year by both employ- • r and en^oyee to build the same size pension fund if the employee starts with a firm at age 50 as is nacessary if he starts at age 25. Insurance losses are much heavier on <dder people, so costs go up unless average le v ^ are held down. Some firms attempt to solve the p ro U ^ by allowing older appli cants to waive pensions and other privileges, but then encounter con- sideralde dissatisfaction w h e n those employees reach retirement age and cannot claim the same benefits they see their fellow em ployees receiving. Most firms which have employee benefit programs—which means most ot the concems>-simpIy refuse to hire older applicants' and the bulk ot tbe Jobs employment agencies find for older applicants are with small concerns.

(Continued From Last Week) Mr. Jim McGuire, who roomed in the hotel annex, took the fire with his usual cafm and dry hum or Mr. Jim said that he did not mind losing his -clothes, hat and shoes: that he could get more of these to fit him. but he be darned if he believed he would ever find another bicycle that would fit him. Mr. Jim was a very tall, slim man, but heavv, and he had a bicycle that had an extra heavy rear wheel with a tire much larger than the front wheel. The old hotel building, being of pine logs, made a tremendous fire, and all that saved nearby buildings was the fact that it was a very still night. A little wind would have done untold damage to the Swicegood hotel across the street, and a building just south of the hotel. Other bad fires that I remember were the home of Mr. Tom Kelly, in south Mocksvllle, which burn ed in the early part of the night, and the home of Mrs. 7ulia Heit- man. just across the street from the Methodist Church, which bur ned during the middle of the day. Jacob Shoaf*s farm was located just in the edge of Mocksvllle. When I was a boy Mr. Shoaf was to me just another farmer that brought good watermelons to town. Looking back over almost half a century, I now place Mr. Shoaf as- one of the most remark able men that I have ever known. This is because I remember the many activities he carried on, and how much he added to the wealth and comfort of his section. Mr. Shoaf had one of the best little farms in the countv, and it was so well managed that it was com mented on by the neighbors ' as being ideal. He raised com, wheat and a diversified crop of many other sorts of farm stuif and veg etables. Besides this his live-stock were away above the average. Probably the only flock of sheep kept in the county was owned by Mr. Shoaf. He also kept guineas, ducks, chickens, hogs, bees, and at one. time had peafowls. His peaches, apples and grap.s alwavs seemed to “hit,” and I cannot re membei a year that he did not bring the best watermelons and cantaloupes to town. Mr. Shoaf also operated a grist mill near his home, but was assist ed in this by David Granger and Arthur Trexler. In connection with the grist mill, a sawmill was operated several days each week. For several years no icc could be had in Mocksville without a trip to Mr. ShoaPs ice house. He had a pond with vt'ater drawn from Bear Creek, and the icc would bn gathered in winter and stored in the ice house. He also had a small wood working shop near his hom'e, where he made such things as axe and hoe handles, and one cspectallv I so well remember was cradle fingers. Of course you young people will not know what a "cradle-finger” was, but It was a mighty necessary little hickey to the fanner before the McCormick reaper came into general use. 1 heard Mr. Shoaf tell some men at the mill one day that he had madcf it a practice all his life to get up at four o’clock of morn ings. Even at that, 1 do not see how he got all the work done. 000000 Kenneth Murchison and small son on their way to drug store— Mayor Durham and police officer talking things over in front of pbstoffice—Kim Furchcs and dau ghter.

If vou plan to take a job this summer you'll need a social se curity card. Vour employer will ask to see your ca.d when you start on the job because it is ne* cessarv for him to copy the name and social security account num* ber into his records exactly as shown on the card. If vou already have a social se curity card, be sure to take it with you when vou go on a job this summer. If you have lost your card, you should go to the social security office and get a duplicate card before starting on a job this year: If VOU have never had a card, you should get one from your social security office before you report for work in a job cov ered by the social security law. Most jobs are covered by the so cial security law. An exception is summertime work on a farm. Workers must meet a regularity of employment tests; they must work at least five consecutive months for one farm operator in order to have their cash wages credited to their social security ac count. Domestic work*-*that is, work of any kind for a private household—counts toward old- age and survivors insurance if the I employee works for the same em- leaatl B.

We have seen in our time a President who has hard ly taken ofRce before he is bap tized and joins a Christian church. Is this a sudden conversion? Probably not. Brought up in a devout Christian home, this man has al ways been aware of religion, he never denied God. But now, with a burden ot responsibility and leadership which he never had before, he becomes not merely * aware but acutcly aware that by himself, even with all the hu man help he can get. by himself he is not enough. It has been said that there are no atheists in foxholes: and fox*hole religion has been low-rated as the religion of the scared-to-death. Nev ertheless many a man whose re ligion began in a fox-hole did not end there.« • • A Dork OoQrwoy to God The Bible atorles for this week describe several of the darker doorways to God. This is nol quite the right way to put it. for God is not like a closed room. Rather, we are In closed rooms o£ our own. and the doors of our celU open out to the ever-present sun shine of Ood. Some ol the door- ways of life are somber enough, yet it is through some ot the most forbidding of these that men and women have come through to a Uving faith in the true God. For example, the story of the woman of Shunem who had everything she wanted except a child. It was In her longing lor a chUd of her own that her faith came to a buming-poiat. Then when the chUd was bom and grew into boyhood and lay at the gate ol death, again her faith blazed up.

OPEN FORUM We are told In tbe scripture that every knee must bow and every tongue confess that Jesus la tbe Chiist. This I have believed all my life and looked forward to tbe day when all mankind must stand before tbe great bar of judgment and receive exactly according to our condnct here In mortality. We are told iu Revelations that the dead were judged out of the books according to their works. * When a young man, I accepted tbe gospel of Christ and have watched those of my acquaintances both Christian and sinner alike, aud have seen It pays to live righteous even If there wasn't any life after death. To day I MW a man I bave known for twenty-five-years, and can very easily remember when be was In excellant health and earned good good money* speut it on alcohol and woment ot ill fame, and took the attitude, eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we shall all die. Well this poor mau has gone down, step by step being ted by tbe evil one until be has lost bis health, and no way to earn an lu- come. lie just came out of the hospital after having about the fourth operation over a period of several months. The sad part was when I approached him and in* quired about his condition there sat a dejected man who had lost hope In humanity and never had faith in God, so naturally he looked pitiful to me. He said he was juet sitting there contemplatlog going behind one of those buildings aud ending it all. I looked at him for a few seconds and said, **I dou*t know how much you bave thought about eternity, but we can’t eud it all regardless of what we do. You^ may kill yourself, but you haven't ended your condition; all you bave done is moved away from bare and you will fiud yourself on tbe other side facing the same situation 3rou left off hete." This poor fellow thought for a moment and then a greed (lu words) to what I had said to him. When 1 was a boy of lourteen years of age I ku^w a man who drank a lot of whlskev and be pro faned the name of tbe Lord a lot, and one one day while hewaasobei he told me he would tell me bis be lief (becauiie I was a sober-minded boy and would not he led by bis ideas If be was wrong) He said he believed tb*! moon controlled tbe entire world and man was subject to that power. Well I began to think over his actions to see if be lived up to Ills thinking as to su preme power I noticed he pro faned a lot, so I could not under, stand why he called upon a being in whom he did not believe existed. However I did notice he would not plane any seeds unt*l the moon was like be thought It suitable. So after a few more years of his con* duct in drinking and profanity, this poor fellow died ana no one thought he was prepared to meet his Lord. I remember reading what tbe late William Tennings Bryan said about a letter he wrote to tbe great infide* R.. G. Ingersaul, and the reply received. M r . Ingersoll said, *’I do not say there Is noGod I only say t do not know.** After cf»mparing these lives and state, ments-wfth what tbe Lord Jesub Christ said, "If you will do the will of my Father In h« aveu you may know of the dortrloe whether I speak of mvself ** So it looks to me like mankind would like to took at others and see that it doesn't pav to sow wild reed and reap the judgment, that just as surely we live, must come, and it will come sooner than we realise. r.

This I Remember By R. S. Meroney, Asheville, N. C. (Continued From Last Week) OMr. Shoaf did not devote all his time to work. He fished some, and kept some coon and 'possum dogs. Other top-notch farmers of that day were Charlie and Sanford Woodruff, John and George Peer- er and P. S. Early, I doubt that any of the present-day farm agents could have told these men very much, and if Davie County had a few dozen like them today, it would be one of rhe best agricul' tura! counties of the State. Mr. Ed. H. Morris was postmas ter at Mocksville for many years, and the postoflice was ia the W. A. Weant building on the east side of the square when the R. F. D. svstem was put into effect in Mocksville. Frank Rattz, Frank Foster, Wilburn Stonestreet and John Current were the four origi nal carriers. Later a fifth route was established, and Hilary Meron ev served this route many years. Mr. Morris established The Da vie Record while at this location, and The Record office joined the postoffice. Mr. Morris was a small man. of dynamic tscrsonality and unbounded energy. He took a urvat interest in local and state af fairs, and was frank and outspok- ^ NO FOOLING Dealer: **This vase is over 2000 years old, sir.** American Millionaire; **Oh, y^h.

Iv involved in political affairs, he had many enemies in the town, but throughout the county had many close and loyal friends. I worked for Mr. Morris at several different times, and I consider him one of the be^t men I ever work> ed for. He was fair, considerate and always dependable, and I was sorrv when he sold The Record to Mr. Stroud, as that ended mv job with him. Mr. Morris served as postmaster until Woodrow Wilson was elected, but he re mained in business and politics in Mocksville until his death. Major Alien Harbin was one of the “knowingest men” of which I have any memorv. Major Harbin was well informed on many sub- jvcts, and a great talker. The war and the weather were two things inVbich he took special interest, an<) his dislike for Yankees was intense, especially General Grant and Abe Lincoln It is a pity that some of the Lincoln historians like Carl Sandburg never had an opportunity to have a conversat ion with Major Harbin. If they had, their praise of Lincoln might have been toned down a bit. Ma jor Harbin maintained a private weather bureau at an officc at his home i .i South Mocksville, and ran up weather flags each day to dicate the weather for the com ing day. I never voted, registered or paid any tax in Mocksville. having left there before reaching that age. Mv first titn'e to vote was in Row an county, Salisbury. However, I was back at Mocksville numer ous times for prolonged visits. At that time Mocksville was a slow, easy going town, where little pro gress had been' made since the war between the States. And, as a boy, 1 heard much of that af fair, because Mocksville was the home of many old men who had “been at the front.” There was A. T. Grant. Esquire, one of the most prominent men in toxvn, and who for years was Clerk of the Davie County court.
