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. She did not usually seek the prophet Elisha except on stated days (she is not alone in tWii),_but (VTati ’*'a card, you should sfit one from your social security office before you report for w ork in a job cov­ ered by th e social security law* M ost jobs are covered by th e so­ cial security law.

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.

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.

JUNE 2. l»64 Aerial Toothache Is Air Force's * ' Dental Problem ANN ARBOR, Mich.—Coin • now \voi-d--“aerodontaIgi«,'’ or a toothache at high altitudes. Ac­ cording to n University of Mich« Igan piofessor o£ dentistry, molar misery in the sky is one ol the serious problems dentists wlU have to face iiv the luture. A ilyer has been known to take off fcyllny great so far as hl» teetlj aj'c concerned. But, sailing along into tlio clouds the change in otn>ospheric pressure may pro­ duce an extremely painful tooth­ ache. Sets of denliirw. perfectly fitted on the ground, have been knottni lo di-op in the aviator’# lap at high altitudes. Recognizing these problems, dentists for some time have been working on an ap­ proach to dental problems which would be ns crfcctive in the upper strata ns on the street level. Some of the experimental find­ ings indicate tl)at a diseased tooth may decay taster at high altitudes. A (luick trip to New York via nn airline won’t uncover a bad tooth, it’s true, but repeated oxpositrc to hi^h altitudes, as ex­perienced by the pilot, may cre­ ate a vnrioly of future problems for the dentist. The condition of aiwciety which some pilots sufTer while flying causes grinding of teeth, which suggests the need for dental work that w’iH wlthstnud “oir jitters.” Tho fact that dentures have been known to drop ^ to the lap ot air­ men is attributed to an Air Force study indicating that at 30,000 feet there is ns much as a 50 per cent loss of retention of dental plates. The Air Force, too. is working hard on the problem, recognising that it can hardly afford to ground a man merely because he hap­ pens to have had a tooth hUed. Research Aimed At Better Doughnut WASHINGTON — According to tradition, the modern doughnut was invented by a New England ship captain who found that his dough calscs wore not being cooked in the center because the grease could not roach Ihat area. So he I>okod a hole in the middle and let them siiujlo. The doughnut, developed less than a century ago. has grown in popularity so much that in 1952 sales approximated $278,000,000 and topped that figure in 1953. A major factor in this steady ri.<?o in i>opularlty J)as been the ere* ation of new varieties of dough- nuls. Now. in .vddilion lo the popu> lar plain doughnui. thcvc is the sugar ooated, clioc<*lntc' or maple frosted, jelly, and cinnamon dough­nut. The baking indu^lry, with tio idea of oHmhuiliiit; (lie hole in the doughnut, still works in mod­ ern food Ii>f:ora(orics to make a better douyhiint. Latest rccom- mendatinn tn come from some of these laborntorlc!; is the addition of soy ilour. which apparently helps dou;:hnut:; and other yeast raisod fried products retain their Treshnos.s. The object of the industry, tho, is the same as the old ship cap­ tain’s—lo m.ike a bettor, health­ier, tastier product. Plain Earth Still Used by Mony Builders WASHINGTON - Today innn builds wiUj many types of mate* rials, but tin* most down-to.earlh material of all is still widely used -earth itscJt. When man fir.st shaped mud squares and set them out to dry in the sun is unkn<nvn. but for at least Ci.ono years such bricks have sheltered l£gyptlan.‘; living along- the Nile Valley. 12vt*n today, along the Nile, mud brtcks that won't wash away promise to solve an ancient housing problem for Egyp. linn villagers, whose process ol making sun*<hied bricks has not chnnyed sincc before the Pharaohs. Across the earth's drier regions —lu Arizona. New Mc.vico. Israel, Rhodesia, and Australia, man still builds w'ilh tn»d. straw and dirt. Construction is by simplo mud bIocIc.s, adobe, and piso de Icrre, or rammed earth. Mud mixed with emulsified as­ phalt, plus other methods of coat­ ing brick walls with rainproofing materials has revived adobe con­ struction in the southwest United States. A house of rammed earth built in St. Augustine, Florida, in 15S0 still stands. Sleel Capacity NEW YORK—At the start at 1954 the steel capacity of the U.

Hie new annual capacity figure ot the world's largest steel in* dustry is nn inereasa of more than S2 million tons, or 35 per cent In the eight postwar years. It is a gain of over 52 per cent since 1940.

They will give you figures on the na­tional income and the national debt; they will (urolth you with statistics on farm prices and freight-car loadings and employ­ ment figures. 11 all these lo<A good, then the C. of C. wiU teU you the country is sound and pros­ perous. Away back in the times of the Bible, in the administration o f,Jeroboam II. if ^ there had been an Israelite Chamber of C om m erce, they m ust have been optim istic, even enthusiastic. | about the prosper­ity of their coun-' try. Wealth had Or. Foreman risen to unprecedented levels, trade was active, the territory of Israel was growing. There never had been so many mil- iionnaires in Israel.* • • Sour Note There was just one man. so far as we know, who did not see eye to eye with the optimists In Israel. His name was Amos and he lived in the back districts as a hired man, perhaps as a migrant work­ er. He had had a good look at Israel from the seamy side, for his layer in the social cake was somewhere below the bottom. He is known to history as a pro­phet. but he did not claim that title for himself. "The Lord spoke to me." he said, and that was enough. Perhaps the reason he did not care for the label of prophet is that he did not want to be mixed in people’s mbids with such Yes-men as King Ahab had gathered around him. But he beiieved and we believe that he had the mind ot God. and that is what a prophet has. He went up to Bethel, one of the main cities of Israel, nnd tliere made some speeches thnt nobody liked. He even got himself attacked as subversive. At all evonts. he brought what the leaders of Israel thought was a very sour note into the sweet chorus of p "rity.« • • What Is Happening to Amos looked at “prospcxlty'’ In another light, or we may say he measured prosperity with a dif­ ferent yardstick. MVhether a coun­try is on the up-and-up or on tiie down-and-down is not to lie dis­ covered by looking at dollar signs or counting freight cars. The real question is: ^ a t is happening to people? The first of all questions is: Which seems to you more Im* portant. people or property? If they both seem equally bnportant. or if property seems even more important, then Amos would say you are certainly ustag the wrong yardstidc. He looked over the na­tion of Israel and he law two classes ot people, the poor and (he rich. The poor went to Jail for robbing the rich, but no one ever jailed the rich for robbing the poor. The rich were growing richer and the poor were ifrowing poorer. This was not the worst of it, for In the process of be* coming wealthy, the hixury- elasscs of Israel were growing both softer and harder than they should be—softer by Indulging In Ivixuries, harder by indifference to the troubles of the people at the bottom ot the pile.• • * A Few Questions ' '’Social Justice" or its opposite, social injustice, it a big aU-Jn- elusive ptvase. If you think it has nothing to do with religion, you have the Bible against you. Let us bring it down to cases, as Amos did. Is there social justice in your community, your state? Before you can answer that cov­ erall question, you will have to break It down into particular ques­tions. For example: Are there any second-class cltix^s in your community? Are the same Jobs open to all. at the same wages or salary? If a man has to bor­ row money can he get It at a rea* sonable rate of interest or do the loan sharks run wild where you live? Are the responsible citi­ zens of your community and state willing to be taxed for the benefit, of better schools? Compare sal­aries paid in your state to horse trainers, with salaries paid to school teachers. Do horses seem to be rated higher than children?

She was worried about whai Charlie would give her. CItarlie was in St. Louis with a truck load of hogs. They meant money and money meant things un­ less it was saved. Hhe and Charlie had had many a heated argument in the twenty years of their mar- ric<l life about whether to save money or not. Charlie believed in spending and she beUeved the opposite, and both were strong and shicere in their beliefs. It was dangerous for Charlie to be on his own in a big city with money in his pocket and her birth­ day arriving simultaneously. Slie hoped be would use discretion. She arose and hurried to peer in the mirror. Hie '‘old age ot yoitlh” had not affected her yet No gray hairs could be seen, her sidn was clear and pink, and eyes still blue, not that age changed fa* wml 'dom ntelri, m l mille «> IlKhMicute* u »k« •he Hnt amkeM!*. anything' about eyes out their sparkle.

What if Charlie should jet anything as foolish as a new davenport because we heard her >uy the old one was getting a :ittle dingy. Or what If he should get a new piano? A little prickle of worry rnn through her again as she ate her solitary breakfast. She sinpcci hci- coffee slowly and eoxtld noi get the Irresponsible Charlie oil her mind. When breaktast was over she ran out to the mailbox and found cards and packages from Jan and Sue down at State Uui- versity.

She would fry a chicken and have other food Charlie osiw- clally liked. But worry began tn nibble ai her again.

Power Forces Con­ trol Your Car Blow your breath bard betweeo two sheets of paper held In your 6nger— and youMl see a graphic demonstration of tbe powerful oat* ural force that takes over part of (he control of your car when you're overtaking and passing another ear. The sheets of paper don’t blow apart, as you’d expect tbem to do. They pull together. Instead. That is what tends to happen when you pass another car. Sue tlon and vaeuutii set up by the speed, invisibly pulls your'car to ward tbe one' you*re passing. That's why you should be doubly alert - and doubly careful—* while passing. But that lsn*t the only extra force that almost takes the wheel out of your hands. Speed itself is another. Vou’ve suddenly speeded UP to pass after a period of ■ steady cruising. Instantly, all steering characteristics change '-and so do your safe reaction times, which shorten toward tbe danger point. Then the human factor —tbe great unknown-^reeps In too. Is tbe man you’re passing going to take it suddenly luto bis head to swerve to tbe right, without look­ ing Into his side.vtew mirror or tuakiug a signal? Is there a bid­ den side road around tbe curve, with a car about to pop out of it? Is there a car coming in the oppo­ site direction that may speed up-:- and make.it impossible for you to pass in time? All these factors, known and un known, make the act of overlaking and passing one of the most deli­ cate you can perform in your car one to be approached with great care. Proof? Last year, so say Insur. ance people. 26,000 were injured aud 600 were kilted by wrong de cislons while passing. Factors they could not cope with in time trip* ped them at tbe vital moment. One thing you can be sure of. Proper care of your car, by tbe men who handle your make of cat will af least make sure no mechaul* cal faiKire will cotopllcate tbe al« ready tricky business of passing That means a check of steering reer view and side-view mirrors, brakes, turn signals, acceleration and general safe operating condl tlon. It’s worth it, when you have to cope suddenly with outside . forcM as powerful as those that spring Into action when you pass. flotice to Creditors Having qualified as Administra tor of the estate of Bertha M.

Act of Kindness Starts d'Movement CLEVELAND, OHIO—Living In Oevaland today Is a retired school taactaer. whose act of kindness 4$ years ago unwittingly started a movement that today embraces every American community at least once a year, is responsible for a cooperative eftort that is un> known Jn any other country in the world. Her name is Bertha Chap- SMU. The movement she ftarted: *lQean.Up Week.** It started one fine Spring day when Miss'Chapman presmted a M b t Mue pinafore to a partJcu- larty ragged pupil, i^us attired. Iba ^ 1 went joyfully home. Her mother, so the story goes, decided then and there to do a littie clean- ing up around the home, an act which shamed the neighbors into doing something about ^ e i r places. The result: a clean-up cam- palgn swept the''community. Seven years later. Ctocinnati fol* lowed Cleveland’s example and un- dei^ok the first city-wide cican-up drive in history. Now nearly every American community observes this [»‘actice.This typical American phen- omencMi develops community spirit, streets are cleaned, homes beauti­fied and repaired, and accumu­ lated waste and rubbish disposed of.

THOUGHT RIGHT On his first visit to the, city, a mountaineer was walking down a suburban street when he spied a beautlfully>colored parakeet perch­ ed on the low h'mb of a tree. Ne­ ver having seen one before, he decided to capture it and take it home. As he reached his hand up to the limb the bird suddenly no­ ticed noticed what was going on and screeched: "Keep your hands off me, you low-down crumb!” Startled, the hillbitly blushed, tipped his hat, and said: *'Par' don me, sir, I thought you were a bird.” 7%is / Remember By R.

(Continued From Last Week) Mr. Grant uised to say that his beard greyed a long time before his hair because he slept on two rails without any cover so many nights, when the fighting was tough. W. A. (Bill) W«ant went through all the war without a wound, and Mr. “Mitt” Call vol­ unteered as an IS'Vear-old boy, and came home safe and sound. Major Alien Harbin and Mr. Cass Harbin (not related), liked to talk, about the war. Mr. Cass was for many years the county jailer, and was active in Republican politics. The old jail was not escape proof, and on at least two occasions a hole was made in the brick wall, and prisoners escaped. My grandfather served in the war, and was wounded In the side by a “minnie ball.” He often said that he would have lived to be a hundred If the Yankees had not shot him. He suifered a ner­ vous disorder fr<m this wound, bat did live up into the 80’s. Mr. W. C. P. Etchison was po­ liceman, street superintendent and after gasoline street lights were put in, he also attended to these. These lights had to be cleaned and worked on each day, and ' lit at night with a torch and put out of mornings. Mr. Btchison had no assistant in all these duties, with the exception of a few weeks in the spring, when the dirt side­ walks and many small wood brid­ ges were given the once*over. Dur­ ing this spring clean-up he work­ ed a crew of colored men. During my days in Moeksville there was no electric power, no water or sewer system. Ice boxes or anything like the refrigeration svstems that we have todav, was entirely unknown. Every family had a well in the back yard, and many people used this to keep butter and milk cool. An extra bucket would be used to let down in the well. People that had a ^’spring house” were lucky. Practically every family kept one or more hogs in pens back of the house, and quite a number of fam­ ilies kept a horse and cow, and the “back house” was always in easy walking distance of the back door. House flies were In the majority, and very few houses were screened. Displte all this, Moeksville was evidently a very healAy place, for there were many elderly peoolein town, and I can recall only a few deaths among young people for over a period of 15 to 20 years. Among these were John Nail, Jake Brown, Tim Kelly and Walter Aus­ tin. One of the saddest deaths of that period was that of Mary Wil­ son Stone. Mary was a beautiful and talented girl, and had just fin* ished her musical education when she went to Cooleemee as- music teacher in the school there. There she contracted a fever from which she never recovered. Moeksville once had a veiy bad smallpox scare. It was started in the Heavner family, aivd at one time the whole ^mily was down with this disease. The Heavners had not lived in Moeksville long. Mr. Heavner was section man for the Southern Railway, and ran a small store in North Moeksville. At that time smallpox was consid­ ered very dangerous, but no one in his fatnily died, and among the several Negro families'that con­ tracted the disease no one died, but many of them were left with deep pits on the face and nose. A colored woman, working at the boarding house of Mrs. Kate Hoi* mau» was stricken, and she had to remain there for many week* Seen Along Main Street By The Street Rambler. 000000 Masters 7im Davis and Wilsoti Brown wearing new hair cuts— Robert Basslnger trying to round up some large paper cartons— Miss Flossie Foster drinking large limeade on hot afternoon—Gaith­ er Sanford getting hot afternoon hair cut—Misses Margaret and Nancy Cozart carrying large cones of ice cream across Main street— Mrs. A, W.

Oar County And Social Security Bv Louis H. Clement, Maitager. Old-age insurance under social security is paving an evet*increas* mg role in lessening the fear of economic insecurity in old age. To illustrate this point a case is cited of an elderly woman who came to a social security office re­ cently to make out a claitn for re­ tirement benefits. She was a do* mestic employee in her late six* ties. For years she said she feared the coming of the time when she would have to stop working. Then when household workes w e re given social security she- began feel easier in her mind. Regular employees in private households were not brought under the old- age and survivors proolsions of the social security law until lanu arv 1951. The claimant explained to the social security office claims assiot* ant that she did not want to stop working, but she felt tbat, as daughter, she was now needed at home. He looked at her in mazement which did not lessen when s h e rold him that her mother is getting a bit feeble and can’t do much around the house anymore. The age of the mother 101. Monthly old-age benefits pay­ ments to the daughter, plus her niodest income from savings will make it possible for this mother Frost Promoted Hubbard-Greene . Major and Mrs. J. R.

JUNE », IW4 American Robin In England Poses Flight Problem WASHINGTON—Our front lawn Trlcnd. Ihe robin, is always a wel­ come sight In the spring. What cnuscs birds to migrate and ex­ actly whal steers them is a mystery, for they turn up in the s(rflngcst placcs. The Amertcnn robin has appar* cntly ndderi n surprising (cat to Us achiovcmenls, since one is be­ lieved to liavo flown the Atlantic. One was recently sighted off the southwest const of Englanfl. at tho Lundy Isle bird observatory. It was identified iis an American rob­in. since it is far bigger than Its British nnnic?ake.It is known that redbreasts are capable of lonj' flights from New- fninullaiici. northern Qvtebec and Alaska lo central United States. No one could say lunv the Ameri­can visitor cot to England, tho. sliiec i( co»W have hopped an ensy ride on n ship. A robin once nested In the tail of a navy bomber and survived a 1.700 mile flight and the birds have been known to build nests at«ip niorry*go*rounds, on Ivavcliinu hoists, fcnce rails, gate posts, window ledws. and even on trolley wires. Bird experts say tho Atlantic flight is “plansiblc.” It is 2.800 miles from Newfoundland to L.un» dy by a down wind route that ex- igled on I1k> days the robin prob­ ably flfw. Ruch n trip is consid­ered within the capability of a bird tho size of an American robin. A wind sprccf of m.p.h. added to the ri»bin'.< own speed of 3S m.p.h would enable the wInKcd wanderer to make the trip in about 40 hours. Underground Train Pulls 110 Coal Cars FINLTJYVILLE.

Amos on Aleohol Lesson fer June It, 1964 Judge Refuses to Send Man to 'Cruel' Prison SALT LAK12 CITY—A Federal judge hcru rem.-ntly dlsnnssed a Klorlda dutciUiou ordor against a parole violaUir beciiusc of that stale's "cruel and inhuman pris­ ons.’' ^ United Slate.s nictrict Judge Willis W. nittcr. was tdid by Fred M. fox. 2U. that he ha<l been tor­ tured and liiaimed in the Florida Statf l'*rison. where ho was wanted for violating his parole, i^ox, a native of Ga.sonia.

He told Judge Ritter that whilu he was imprisimed In Florida his iieel tendons were cut to prevctU escape and he was hung by his wrists f<»r hours al a tune.L. F. Chapman, prison superln- tcndont at Raiford, Florida, .laid In commcnt that Fox had "smooth, talked” his way out of prison, had told the same story in Cleveland where a judge investigated and proved it false. He said Fox walked off after eighteen months while a “full trusty and living outside ot confine- ment*' at the road camp. Parking Meter Expert Shows Police His Art NEW ARK—A fter w atching s 13- year-old boy dem onstrate how, w ith a six-inch screw driver and a penknife, ho could rifle a m eter within three m inutes, police and engineers asked the m anufactur­ ers to redesign the outside plates o f the device. Eight boys, arrested as juvenile offenders, were accused of looting ' 380 parking meters in the down­ town Newark area. Edward Cyr. city traffic engineer said looting was made easy because rivets on the plates were so strong they pro­ vided leverage for the scrw* driver. He said substitution of a m etal of lesser strength would cause rivets to break before lever­ age was efTeetive. •The IS-year-old said he alone had rifled at least 80 meters, and taught at “least twenty ^ other boys” the looting teebnique. Th e prophets of Israel are sin­ gularly up-to-date. They lived thousands of miles away from here, thousands of years ago. Yet the problems of mankind are much the same then as now. The proph­ et’s inspired eyes could see what was w rong with the world around him. and he would |l say bluntly what • it was. Btit few prophets ofleij used that blanket word •*sin.” No­ body’s In favor of sin. W h a l m e prophet alw ays did was to name Dr. Foreman certain particular sins. These hab­its. these acts, these customs, he would say—those are what our countiy is dying from. The.se things arc fatal. So it was in 800 B.C.. so it is in 1954 A.D. Liquor Is Not AloneII is only fanatics who believe that some one s<n is by itself destroying the country. No sin, in fact, exists by itself. Also it is true that when a country is de- stroyed. as Israel was destroyed, it dies of more than one disease. The prophet Amos named a num­ ber of evils which were eating into the vitality of his nation and people. The consumption of liquor was one of these. But Amos never said that liquor was the only thing wrong with his country. He as­sociates it with selfishness, greed, indifference to real problems, adultery, dishonesty and other sins. One of the bad features of liquor is that it attaches itself to other evils and makes them worse. There would be speeding on the highways even if everyone were always cold sober; but drinking drivers make the problem worse and the accidents more often fatal. (There reaUy can‘l be such a thing as a drunken driver—a drunk can’t drive at all. It’s the drinking drivers who make the trouble.) There would be murders if whiskey had never been heard from. But every day murders are reported in the papers that would no doubt never have been com­ mitted if everyone concrrncd had been sober at the time. Rape and seduction are not unheard ot by any means. In Mohammedan countries where alcoholic drinks arc completely forbidden. But liquor pushes many young people over the edge who without it could retain tbeir self-control and self- respect, but with It In them, lose both. The Best People* In the time of Amos he took aot« of. some quite “respectable” peo­ ple who were drinkers. Church- goers he mentions first of all. peo­ ple who drink wine “In the house of their god." (This ot course has nothing whatsoever to do with the communion service, a sacrament instituted by Christ) He condemns these church-goers more than he does the riff-rafl. It U worse for some people to drhik than it is for others; and perhaps worst of alt for church people. After all is said and done, people who know little and may care less about what is right and what is wrong, will think tbat anything a church member does must t>e all right. One church member who Is known to drink, even if he is very temperate about It, can do more harm than a dozen alcoholics. Another respectable class Amos mentions are the wom­en of wealth and soela) position. Amos is not exactly respectful to these ladles; on tbe contrary he calls them cattle, “kine of Ba- sh«n“- « specially fat kind of cattle of these days. Again, the use of liquor by wives of success­ ful men. women who are leaders in their communities, does more harm than all the drinking down in the poolrooms. The harm d«M»e to others by the drinker is often greater than what he does to him­ self. Amos Sow It Coming Amos predicted that Mf country would soon UU lieeauM of iU sins, and laU It did. Ho doubt tho drinkers ot his day thought their Uquor drinlilng helped them to escape Irom their troubles; Amoa could see Ihat it only brought on more troubles. The truth about Uquor is seldom to be had from people who are its victims, more seldom sUlI Irom those who make mone, b» it.

Here was a suspicious char> actor if ever he saw one. It wasn’t the hawk-llkc face peering hun­grily into shop windows that caught Giles* attention: it was the stran­ ger’s luggage.Giles considered himself pretty well up on subversives and the like and he rea* soned that they had at last decided to invade HHlcrest -for this s h if ty ____ eyed member of the vanguard toted some queer looking pieces of equipment. “What’s eating you sheriff? You look like a hound dog who's just picked up the scent.*’ “That’s about it.” said CHles turning to face Bill Evans, his **Get a load af weodea avltcase. li mast be crammed with spy eqidpmeat.*' deputy. *'Oet a load of that wood­ en suitcase.“Bunkl“ said BIU. . “Sheriff, you’re getting jittery. Slim .Jim over there Is probably hauling an oboe or some other musical instrument. What’s there to spy on in Hillerest?” Giles suspicions seemed justi­ fied a couple of days later when Nellie Green gave him a signal from her desk in the lobby ot the Hillerest HoteL Ever since the mysterious stranger had regis­ tered at the hotel Giles had been a fixture in the lobby. Now he hurried over to the desk to Uka the phone from the hand of tha excited Nellie. It seemed the stranger had placed a call to a distant city. Giles listened agog. “And I don't want any more double-talk,” came a strong angry voice obviously from the man up­ stairs. “Either you pay mo ihe^ sum agreed upon for this job or' ru go to the other agent."“What kind of set-up do you have in that whistlcstop?” a faint voice asked. “Not too bad.’’ came the voice from upstairs. “A ‘chap called . Larry Swift had consented to n-.y working on his lan^j. 1 had t<> give him ten bucks but I /igurrd it was worth it, 1 won’t have to worry about buHs this time.’’ Giles hung up quietly. Larry Swift! He would never have be­ lieved it! Yet Larry always had been a bit secretive, now that Giles thought about it And that other agent? This must be a sl^.e* able gang. The word that buniod hottest in Giles’ brain was ’whis- tlestop.’ He’d show those rogties whether Hillerest was a whis- tlestop! And ‘tiulls.’ • That was the term these city slickers used for the police. Giles made off to fetch his guns. “Hello sheriff, said Lairy Swift affably as the steaming Giles atepp^ from his old car an hour later. “Don't hello me you—you trai­ tor!" spat Giles.•Traitor?** cried the surprised Larry. “Why sheriff. I didn’t know you touched the stuff. Would you like some black coffee?” Tbe gaunt stranger was standing on a hiU behind Larry’s farm­ house. He was trying to force a T-shaped stick into the ground. The sheriff charged up the hill. “Stop!’’ cried Giles. “Stop or ru shootl" The thin man strai^tened up. A lod( of annoyance crossed his face. ‘*First it's bulls, then cow­boys. What do you want little man?”“Caught you in the nick of time, didn’t I?” cried Giles pointing to tha T-shaped stick. What were you going to blast?’’ “Blast? With that? That's my chair* cowboy. I sit on that little bar when I'm painUng. Suppose you go eateh a steer; 1 have work to do. 1 promised my agent Iw’d get a picture this week— magatina cover you know.” Then tha tall chap opened his wooden bos. and ignored the open- mouthed Giles and Larry Swift.Sheriff Giles was half-way across the lobby of the Hfllcrest Hotel before BUI Evans saw him.“Hi boss, any strangers in town today?” am taunted.Giles turned red. He swallowed hard. He placed the box of candy he'd been carrying on Nellie s desk—that would keep her quiet.

' ^OPEN FORUMS Sometiine aeo one of the fuK scleotfsts wrote a book and tl> tied It "Man Stands Alone.'* His purpose was to prove from scien­ tific things that there Is 00 power hfcrher than nature. He tried to completely do away witb tbe doc­ trine there is a **Father in Heav en,” who is the Father of i>eople, and creator of the ut)iverse. Another crest .scientist, Mr A Cressv Morrison, answered by writ, ine a hook and he titled It. **Man Does Not Stand Alone.*’ Mr Mor­ rison donated manv copies cf his estcellent bonk to ^various nersons who are converted to the doctHne of the Fatherhood of God, and the hrotberhoo«1 f»r t«^o, nnd who are deallne with eroups of people where his statements could he used as evl- dence for the facts provine that there Is a GOD In HEAVEN who created all thines, T am very prond of tbe fact that I received a copy of this outstand- fne hook, I read It often end love to contemplate npon the wonderfnl thines brought forth by such a fine mind as Mr: Morrison. ' So I will use a of bis Ideas which sound won<(«rful to me. 'The Lord made everytbine so perfect for the • existence of his creation we could not remain on the earib very lone if the master had made the elements with $0% oxveen Instead of 21% the first time an electrical storm bad come up, the entire world would bave been burned. If he had made it with say 10% less animials could have adjusted themselves to that, but many of the convenfences we now have, such as fire, would not bave been available. Another point be makes Is that animal creation depends upon oirnts and treefi, while plants and trees depend up- on animal kinedont for existence When a man breathes be takes In oxveen which is taken Into tbe blood and distributed tbroueb the body. The oxveen bums bis food In every cell stowly at a compara. tlvely low temnerature, but the re. suit Is eorhon nloxlde and water vapor, so wbwn a tnan is said to sleh like a furnace, there Is tonch of reality about It. The carbon dioxide, escapes Into Ws lunes and Is not breathable except In small qua thles. It sets his tunes in action and he takes his next breath tbrowlne Into the at­ mosphere corhon dioxide. All ani­ mal life U thus absorl^ne oxycen and throwine off carbon dioxide. Oxveen Is hirther essential to life, because of its. action npon other elements iu the blood as wrti as eliiewbere in the hodv, without whic* life processes would cease On tbe other band, as Is well known, all veeetahlellfe Is depend, ent npon the almost Ipfinltesimal quantity of carbon dioxide In the atmosphere which, so to speak, j( breathes. The plant feeds Itself and produces enoueb more to feed every anim 1 on earth. At the .same time, the plant releases tbe oxygen we breathe and without which life would end in 5 minutes.

C. 15,000 Billboords To Sell Auto Sofcty CHICAGO—Tbe outdoor adv«r- tising Industry has announced It wiU contribute 15,000 big bill­ boards during the coming year to advertise safety. The donation is the equivalent of about $500,000 worth of space. Ned Dearborn, president of the National Safety Council, reports tbat accident prevention is a prob­ lem challenging salesmanship and advertising. The 15.000 billboards will be placed on highways at heav­ ily traveled points, where the great- est number of motorists can see them. Franlriln M. Kreml. director of tlw Northwestern University, told the safety group: “If every com­munity did as much for traffic safety as the best communities, there would be a SO per cent cut in the nation's annual motor toU.” Glacier Preserves Insects 600 Years WASmNGTON - Grasshoppers, some of them ahnost 600 years old. have been preserved in glaciers In the high mountains of the Northwestern states. The most notable of the “grass­ hopper glacicrs" is in the Bear- . tooth Mountains of Montana, near the northeastern cofner of Yellow­ stone National Park. It is hard to get to this glacier, Iho institution • said, but a few scientists have been able to study it. The insccts identified have been of the same type that spread devastation d u rin g migratory nights in the Seventies and Eighties, the institution said. Great hordes of the insccts cither flew over the glacier or were carried there by winds. Sudden snowstorms or cold air from the ice fields prob­ ably caused them to drop. Traffic Citation DENVER—Norman L. Peterson had a traffic ticket handed to him recently which say» he ran through a signal light at Tennyson Street and West Colfax Avenue, February 3, 1913. Peterson says he'll beat the rap. On that date, he contends there ' wasn’t any tralTic light at th« comer, his automobile hadn’t bcon built yet. and he wasn't born until 3 hours after the ticket is liiijoci. Time Gets the Best Of Small Ohio Town BASNESVILLE, O.—The resi- dents of Barnesville. a small East Ohio community, was the scene of a summer-long **confusion" caused by four different time schedules. Early in the spring, town officials adopted Eastern Standard Time for the community. However, the schools and most residents stayed on Daylight-Saving-Tlme. A local plant adopted, its own time which it called ‘•sun.time.’* Later, the schools turned their, clocks back 30 minutes to a “half­ way time." •This is the ktod of confusion:It caused: One family had to buy three alarm clocks. The father worked in a mill <E.S.T.): the mother worked in a grocery store (D.S.T.I, . j and their daughter attended school ! (halfway time). | 'Better call at. ibi* office DOW and get your land pos­ ters before the supply is ex> bausted. Printed on heavy card board. SOc. par dozen.

Johnny: ■ I don't think 1 know either. DOES GOD KNOW? A small boy, visiting New York City for the first time, went in an elevator to the top of the Empire State Building. As he shot past the 62nd floor at breath-taking speed, he gulped, turned to his father, and asked. **Daddv, does God know wc*re coming? GOOD FIGHTER Theodore Roosevelt once own­ ed a scrappy bulldog named Pete, who went around with a chip on his shoulder. Frequently he pick­ ed fights with bigger dogs and was mauled severely. One day, when his master was chatting with the French Ambassador ott the White House lawn. Pete came limping through the gate, obvious­ ly having come off the second best in a scrap. see your dog is a poor fight­ er,*’ said the Ambassador. **No, he’s a very good fighter,” Roosevelt replied. ^'He’s just a terrible judge of dogs.” Brown: You say Whimpic is a man of mettle?

(Continued From Last Week) BLACKBERRY PIE EDITOR­ IAL FUND.” Since this is the day of the na* tion'Wide drive fot funds for this, that and the other, all the way from feeding lazy Chinamen to establishing homes for homeless frogs, it seems altogether proper and fitting that a man should start a drive for anything which he deems proper and necessary, and fot the betterment of his. country and his fellowman. I therefore hereby announce the "Blackberry Pie Editorial Fund” drive. The purpose of this fund is to purchase sucar to be used exclusively to sweeten blackberry pies for a loyal, veherabler and honorable editor, who has spent the best part of his life working, writing and talking for the. good of his citv, county, state and coun­ try, and whom many of us have known as a friend for lo these many years the Hon. C. Frank Stroud, Editor of the Davie Re­ cord. The fund is started by $1.00 donated by the undersigned, and $1.00 contributed by a Buncombe County Democrat. As many oth* ers as will, arc invited, and urged to make a small co.itribution; a piece of silver, or a oicce of fold­ ing money, will be appreciated, and will be duly acknowledged, and when the drive is over the names of the generous friends who have contributed will be pub­ lished in The Record, showing the amount devoted to this good cause. Please .send your contribution just as soon as you can, as berries will soon begin to get ripe. Send your donation In cither check, money order or cash to R. S MERONEY, Box 483.________Asheville, N.

Marriages Were Up Over 200,000 in 1953 NEW YORK—Some 20,000 more bashful bachelors posed the ques­ tion in 1953 than did in the previous year according to a report which says that 1.533,000 marriages took place in the tJnited States last year. The marriage rate for 1953 waa 0.7 per 1.000 population, about two fifths below the all-thne high ot 16.2 per 1.000 in 1040. AlUiough the marriage rate Is now at the low­ est pohit in two decades, it Is .still substantially above Uiat ot the early 1930’s.The downswing in recent years is explained as largely due to de­ pletion of marriage eligibles by population by the great boom Id marriages which occurred during the years immediately following World War U. In 1046, there were 2.291,000 marriages, and nearly two million hi each of the next two years. Anotlier factor helping to keep the current marriage rate down is that fewer people are coming of age bccause of the decline in birthsTwo stales—Missouri and Dela­ ware-showed an incrc.iiic of about one sixth in marriages in I953. liioticeTo Creditors Having qualified as administra­ trix of the estate ot John F.

In order that the farm, the couniv and the state receive credit for ail acreage planted to cotton, it Is sential that the reporter meas tre all acreage which was originally planted to cotton but Is devoted to some other crop at the time of his visit to the farm. Such •creage sbould be recorded oo the farm report.

Employers are remittded that the social security law provides no exemption for work performed by temporary or part-time employees if the services performed are in connection w ith a “covered' trade or business. Moat trades and businesses are now covered by social security. According to reliable reports, large number of job seekers for part-time summer work have already begun. A pros* pective employee should be sure that his name and social securi. ty number on his job application aie exactly as thev appear on his sodal secnritf card. This will ^ a long toward preventing incor­ rect information on the employ­ er’s social security tax reports. The Social Security Adm(ni5rFa> tion maintains over 100 individual accounts. Accuracy and complete­ ness of quarterly tax' reports liled ed by employers are essential if earnings are to be credited to the proper accounts. Persons who plan to work and have changed names through marriage, divorce, or other means, should visit the social security ofHce and have the official social security records changed ro agree with the latest name. InS these types of cases, the Social Security Office will is­ sue a social security card bearing the new name and the original number.

There are religions that answer in one word: Noth­ing. He goes his serene way un> caring what we do. i But the Christian, religion, and (he Jewish religion be- i fore us, believe I that the prophets i of the Bible were true prophets. 1 They did really i know the mind of I God. And those I prophets one and Dr. Foreman all—and for that matter every writer of every part of the Bible —teach that God does care, he does want something of us. A Great Word / The prophet Hosea preached in a very "religioiis" era. At least, that is what his fellow citizens may have thought. There were temples crowded with worship­ pers, there were treasuries piled high with tithes and offerings. Tlie smoke of burning animals con­ sumed as sacrifices to (he Most High God could be seen rising alx>ve'every important city, espe* cially in Jerusalem and Bethel, "religious capitals’* of the Uttle countries of Judah and Israel. What the contemporaries of Hosea thought God wanted was public worship, rites and ceremonies, at- tendance at the temple, plenty of animals for sacrifice. Hosea knew better. In memorably slmplewords he says, speaking for God, '*I de-' sire . . At this point our Eng­ lish translators of the Hebrew Old Testament-^t should never be for- gotten that no part of the original Bible was written in Engllsh--our translators run into trouble. The Hebrew word Hosea used at this point is "chesed'’ (pronounced rather like ^’hesseth”) and it is interesting to see how many dif­ferent words are used in our Eng­ lish Bibles to translate this one Hebrew word. It Is called '‘good­ ness** (as in Psalm 33:6. Hosea 6:4); "kindness” (as in Gen. 20:18; Neh. »:17); ‘'pity” in Job 6:14; "mercy” (as in Ps. 100:5 and Hosea 4:1); "lovinK kindness (as in Psalm 103:4; Hosea 2:19). All these are in the old King James Bible. More recent transla­ tors have used still other words. Every student of the Hebrew Bible knows that we have here one of those great words that is bigger than any word used to translate or explain H. The translators of the Revised Standard Version have used Itr ttie most pert the expression “steadteit love'’ to ex­ press the deep meaning of this word. Whof God WanH Most *Hosea told Ills people, and he tells us, that vdiat God wants most of all is this great thing which —is-m ore-tban- mereyr-m ere- than kindness, somettilng that can best be expressed in the two words "steadfast love." Not sacrifice and burnt ottwinga, as it ttsed to be tlwught; not anyttilng else we ean think of. Just steadfast love. Tiien Hosea puts with this and be­ side it something else: "the knowledge of God." This does not mean theology out of a book. The Hebrew word for "knowledge" never meant simply information about facts. A person could memo­ rize all the facts about a Presi­dent of the United SUtes and still not really know him. Knowledge in the Bible sense of that word is a deeper thing, it is to enter in­ timately hito the understanding of a person, to know him as it were from within. God wants of us to­day, as he did and does always, more than anytiiing else, that our lives may show "steadfast love" which refleets his own. Nothing Cist Will DoWe hear a lot in America about “Back to Religion" or "Back to Church," but a good deal of this comes from ptople who have a kind of vague idea that if the churches were oa^ full every Sun­ day <3od would reward our flna record of duarch attendance with bumper crops and prosperi^ In general. Hosea would smile « aad smile at such an Idea. It was es- aetly the kind «( Jdea Us wrong­ headed people bad. It wss not that CSod did not want sacrifices at all; but tliey were no substitute for what God really desired most of all. 8o with us. Church-going, occasional bursts of reform. "ers<dclng down" on gan^lert now and then, more beautiful worship services, bigger and handsomer churches—none of this can be America's substitute, or Amer* leans' subsUtute, for steadfast love and the knowledge of God.

Perches St. FlnisJ»«*a Windsw Dressing By Mari* Ktnc Ma ry LOU wheeled her chair to the living room window, facing the garden court of the apartment building, but she ad- iuslcd the gay-colored afgbans over the sides to give it more the appearance of an easy chair, be-, fore she raised the Venetian blinds. She decided to be reading ttf* day—when he first saw her. Sew­ing locriced too much like an in­ valid. She was go­ ing to start a new game with herself and the young man who sat for such long hours at the window taelng hera, drawing, reading blue prints or studying maps. She’d read a love story to set the mood. And when die’d wave and smile, as she did every after­ noon. she'd lean forward and nod. Since the blinds in his window were still drawn, she started her story, exercising her .'leg as best she could, as the Hector had shown her. Later, when Msry Lou looked up. there sat the young man, watching her. They waved and smiled as •usual, and when he started measuring and lining his charts, she returned to raadlng her book. When her beU shrilled sudden­ ly, she carefully drew -the cur­ tains before she wheeled her chain Flilin note, “Put these In your windmv. where I ean see them every day." Mary Lou had him place tin? bAx , so they'd be in full view, before she wheeled her chair around and started to pull the curtains apart. She peeked through the silts of the blinds to find the young man star. ing at her darkened window. When die opened the curtains again, she clasped her hands in a gesture of thanics. and he bowed gaily In acknowledgment.For the next hour, (they sat nt their windows, alternately working ■ and smiling at each other.) Mary Lou played the game so well, ^iie almost forgot she was in a wheel chair. But when the phone rang on the table next to her chair, the Doctor's voice made her sharp­ly aware. "Your last X-ray," he explained, "shows a different picturc—prog- nosls good. I believe you'll be walk­ ing in several months.""What is time." she exulted, "if I can walk." After 1 They sat at Iheir wliidews, alternately working and smil­ ing at eaeh ether. to the door. A messenger from the neighborhood florist deUvored a box of African vfolets with the Mary Lou hung up the re­ cover, she started another game, planning the fonnal dress she'd - wear to ber first dance. Spring parties—spring dances—spring. Her book fell unnoticed to the floor, as she sat dreaming. Three knoeks on the door, which meant "hello" from the friendly carrier, was followed by the slith­ering sound of sn envelope sliding under the door. **l>ear Daughter, we do feel that someone should be with you, but your father's illness will keep me away for several weeks. From what you tell me of your friendly neighborhood and the maid wiio eomes In twice a day. I'm sure you can manage. Write us often and phone when you feel like Jt. Your father is improving, and says for you to behave yourself." Mary Lou finished her story. She slowly drew the draperies togetii- er. obscuring her from view, be­ fore she threw aside the afgli.*in and dumsily adjusted (he posi­ tion of the heavy cast on her leg. The door .bell rang again. It must be the postmi^n with a pack­age, she thought, or the bay wllh groceries. She wheeled her cliair to the door and opened it slowly. Too late, she looked into the won­ dering face of the young pian- across the way. "May 1 have this dance?" he laugM . as he leaned against the door. And then, standing In the cor- nor, she saw his crutches. "A stationary engineer," he ex- plsined, **£or a couple of months, at least,'* **In which esse," she laughed, as she motioned for him to come in and be seated at their window.

The Crown Jewels Are Time-Honored Monarchy Symbols LONDON->For over a thousand years the Kings and Queens ol E^ngland havo been crowned with a "solemn ritual. The Regalia, or Crown Jewels of England, time* honored symbols of Monarchy, have always played an essential part In the ceremony. Even apart from their historic and symbolic associations, the value of the 'gems, precious metals and worlc- manship. is Impossible to compute. Most of the ancient State Regalia was destroyed under Cromwell: thus when the Monarchy was fe* stored, new regalia had to t>e made for the coronation of Charles II in In many cases, replicas of (he old symbols were fashioned, notably St. Edward’s crown and St. Edward's staff. The Crown of England, known ns St. Edward’stCrown. is the one with which the Archbishop of Can* ' tsbury actually crowns the Sov­ereign. l^ e Sovereign wears tiiis crown only once in his or her life­ time—those few minutes in the nbbey before it is changed tor the loss cumbersome Imperial State Crown. The St. Edward's Crovm is of cold, set with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and pearls. It wcigh.s nearly seven pounds. The Imperial State Crown was originally made for Queen Vic­ toria. in'1838, since the other crown v'as too heavy for her. It weighs just oyer 39 ounces and contain.^ se^'cral famous gcm.«: the Black.

A VfaUdnq Corpse T saw a walking corpse today — Indeed a gruesoine sight— But when I've said what 1 shall say You'll know that I am right; For lots of men are,almost dead While going on their feet, Altho they're not confined to !>ed. And stin can drink and eat. This walking corpse I'm speakingof Is quite a moral wreck, Who has no courage to resolve To leave life's slnklnit deck; But stays on board the devil’s ship That Plows sin's w e n deep, That takes men on a long, lone trip To ever mourn and week. The rasn has sown across the yesr.*^ A crop of b^d, wild oats, And SMms to have but little fears Of what io life he totes« Altho he's robbed himself of health That all men should desire. Of manhood's puritv and wealfb For which men should asnire. This walking corpse has sapped his strength With cigarettea and beer. And seemingly has gone hla length To find a lot of cheer, By dunking wine and liquor loo. And taking lots of dope. And soun loay luu his race clear through ' Without a ray of hope. He's violared God's good laws By other habits bad. And failed to honor U t's great cause. Which i indeed quite sad; So let m.e sound a warning note To alt wbo live In sin: Don’t drift along In Satan*s boat II you destre to win. W adim'tKlw to make owrln your nMoe. Prof Soys Herb Cures Were Sound NEW YORK—Don’t scoff at the ancients and their herb cures, says Dr. T. S. Ma, professor of Chem« istry at New York University. Born in China, Dr. Ma ha* come up with evidence that ancient Chinese herb cures appear to have been scien­ tifically sound.Most of the herbs used medici. nally in the Orient for thousands of years have been proven definite germ killers. Citrus acid, a sub­ stance widely used in the prepara­tion ol solt drinks, confectionery and certain mcdicines. ha.:, been identified as the anti-tuberculosis agent in scliiznndr;i ciiinen^is. nn Oriental herb employi'H as- n rem* edy again.st dysomory, c o ld s, coughs and chest diseases. Citrus fruits are rich In citric acid, which is generally manufactured by the fermentation of starch and sugar. Compared with isonicotinic acid hydrazlde—a recently developed antl-tubercular drug—citric acid is only about one-twentieth as power­ ful against tuberculosis, but it can be given In larger amounts, is plen­ tiful and Jess expensive and ex­ hibits much more rapid antibac­terial aeUvlty In the test tube. Another common fruit acid, mal- ie acid, was also Isolated from a Chinese plant and found to po^ess antibacterial activity. ' DIDNT KNOW THEM Little Jphtitiv had just been vaccinated, and die family doctor started to put a bandage over the vacciAadon spot. Johnnv object ed; he wanted the bandage put on the other arm instead. “Why Johnnv,” said the doctor^ **the bandage should be on the sore arm so the boys at school won’t hit it.” "Pat it on die other arm, Doc.’ lohnny insisted. “You d o n ’t know those guys.” HARD TO PLEASE He was a diffiult customer. One of die two partners in the cloth­ ing store had shown him every suit on die rack but one. He helped him into each suit and pointed out the virtues of the gar­ ment. With each suit he would cum the man around and around in front of the mirror. Finallv, he despaired of selling the man*anvthlng. Just then the partner sieoped up and siiowed the customer the one remaining suit and the man purchased it im> mediately. "You see, Sam.” said the sue* cessful partner later, "what good salesmanship it talces to sell tough -customer like that. Vou noticed 1 sold him on the first try.” “Sure,” said the other, “but who got him dizzy.*' Mural Painters Often Work at High Altitude STATE COLLEGE, Pa— Palnt- ing murals is as safe a way as any to earn a living—if one doesn't mind working from great heights. Stuart Frost obviously doesn't, for this 28 year-old artist is now at work on a series of murals at the Pennsylvania State University, af­ter compleUng a previous assign, ment which had him working some 14 feet ott the ground.

I have before me a note from Mr. Stroud, and he suggests that write something on anv subject that I may choose. So with that lead I will comment on a few items which appeared in a recent issue of The Record: A subscriber complains that The Record is too small, and the Edi­ tor whips back with the state­ ment that it is larger than a three cent stamp, but costs no more. Here wc have a comparison of size, which has been a human er­ ror chroughoat the ages. To a child a dog is large; to another, not a dog but an elephant is big; but a tree is big. No, a tree or an elephant is not big; a mountain is big, and so on. But in the final analysis size or time is not the pro­ per yardstick bv which the intrin­ sic value of an article can be meas­ ured. If it were, a Sears & Roe^ buck catalog would be more valu­ able than the New Testament, pay a yearly subscription to The Davte Record because it contains matter that interests me. I could get the New York Times free by stopping by a reading room each day. Tlie Times is ten times the size of The Record, but The Re­ cord is more valuable to me. It takes a good deal of boosr ing, a TOod deal of knocking and lots of hard work to get a town started to growing. And we have done our share of all thrSe, asserts Mr. Stroud in last issue. Agreed that he is telling the truth; vet for years I have carried a peeve con< Seen Along Main Street By The Street Rambler. oooooo C. A.

To read the editorials and the litera­ ture put out bv the different com­ mercial organizations, one might well be led to believe that the on­ ly way to Increase the size of town was to persuade already es­ tablished enterprises'in other cit­ ies to pull up and move to their citv. This appeal has been stron gly urged on the textile Industry of the North. The South has of­ fered free land, exemption from faxes for certain periods, reduced water rates, and many other con­ cessions, and have succeeded an extent in wrecking several Nor- therii cities, and disrupting their labor balance. This all seems to me to be form of beginning; an admission of incompetence and a lack seif*reliance; and it is a question as to whether or not it is the best thing for the town that best succeeds in this scheme. For in stance, Asheville, Brevard and Waynesville have been successful in bringing in outside industry, but have lost their reputation as ideal vacation spots and attractive ness for a class of people who are the most valuable to a commun­ ity. Hendersonville, among the many small towns of Western North Caro'ina. U about the onlv one that still retains the charm of an ideal vacation town, or a loca tion for those that appreciate place where the air and general atmosphere are clean. Shoaf Coal & Sand Co.

Serene Brow Comes From Beauty Care Is your forehead constantly wrinkled with deep lines or do you have a serene brow which marks you as a lady of poise and Ilka- bllity?The unwrinkled brow hfls had Its praises sung in many a poem, and rightfully so! It can be achieved only ihrough effort, by means of self-controi and poise. Don’t let ■ this deter you. though, because it has a great attraction and may add more lo your face and per* sonality than any artifice. IRRITATION CAUSES FROWN Furrows made in the brow are caused by irrUation and anxiety. When you permit eyebrow muscles to display annoyance and impa- Hence, frbquently enough, the lines appear to freeze into position. This gives you a permanent frown, long after initial impatience has dis­ appeared. Most of the wrinkling is uncon­ scious, but given some real con­ scious consideration, you can eliminate much of the frowning. It’s well Worth your while, not only tor appearance's sake but also for your personality.Personality? Yes, because a per­ son who Is constantly annoyed and irritated is not well or generally liked. You might even go so far as to conclude that the shape of the brow Is an index to a person’s ability to be liked. Set out consciously to break the Irown l»ablt. You cslD both learn to control yourself and underststul other people better so they annoy you less.

But among all the unfamiliar names —Fhus. Lydia, Elam and many another—there Is one we all know: Israel. It was a going na­ tion for about 200 jrears. Seen through the eyes of other nations It was “small pota­toes’* as wc know from inscriptions which have been dug up in recent years by the ar- ch a eo lo g 1 s t s ’ . spades; n covered | no more of the earth’s surface than New Jersey does. But In its Dr. Foreman own eyes it was important: what nation Is not? When Israel was just a little older than the United States is now, it crashed to nothing, and since that time has been only an unfragrant mem­ory. a dead nation. The writer of 11 Kings 17 wrote its obituary. The Notion Forgot God What killed Israel? The nation did not die of old age. for 200 years Is not a very long time for a nation to exist and prosper. Something killed that country. It might be said that it committed suicide—but what was the name ot the poison which It swallowed? Itt one word, it was sin. But that does not tell us much. It Is like giving "disease” on a death cer­ tificate, as the cause of death. What ^sease7 What sins? Look­ ing over the record as II Kings IT sums It up, we can see that se­ rious sin which was the root of most others: forgetting God. The naUon forgot what God .had done for tiiem In times past; they for­ got that he is a God of righteous- nes«. they supposed he did not specially care what they did so long as their tithes were paid up and they had a good record of at­ tendance at public worship. They had reminders of ’’God” all over the place, but these were idols, images of beasts. They used the word **God” without realising either 1 less, the greatnessor the holiness of the only true God. Con God U Despised?aigh-Ughted In the sad obituary of a dead-and-gone nation Is the fact that as a nation they despised tho law of God. How is It possible to despise the Almighty? Nations and individuals show their real - contempt for God by paying no attefiUoB' to what he has said. Millions of people hi America to­day act just as if the Ten Com- mandments (for axample) were only a set ot by-laws for fanatical churchmen, or—worse still—as if they were an out-dated set of rules from a prlmlUye civilization. To judge from what you may read in any newspaper, would the Man from Mara suppose that Amer­icans. as a people, are living by any Law of LoveT If aU the church members In our country were practicing Christians, would this country be what It Is? A nation's sins both by the actual sins of the sinful and by the consent of those who know better but do nothing about It Now you can despise God and his laws for a while; but his laws are not arbi­trary, they are not like basketball rules that can be changed every season. The roads that lead away from God and his tows may be wide, but they are <hort. They come to a very dead end. It Is pos­ sible to despise God: but it is not safe. Porodox ond PofollelA nation can be simply peppered with religion and yet lose the salt ot moraUty. In ancient Israel the name of God was everywhere; reUgious observances were going on “under every green tree’* as Uie propheto said. But the more re- Uglon they had. the less morality. Israel died of a Wnd of moral dry- rot, in the mldat of shrines with­ out number. Dr. H. P.

Foreboding % Red Rooster By Sally Eadi PA SAID he was going to town to buy some chicken feed, but Me snid he was going to see the Presi­ dent of the Dramatic Art Chib. He was worried, she said. becauM he couldn't think up an idea for a children's play he was supposed to write for the Qub. Ma went with him, and they left my twin sister and me to keep the chldcens out of the garden. We forgot about the chickens and Old Red got In and scratched up a lot of seed. But we fixed him. We. plucked him, cxccpt some feath­ ers on his wings and tail, and may­ be a few on his head. When we set him down, he tried to flap his wings and crow, and how we laughedl ’•VWiafll Pa say. Sandy, when he sees his prize Hhode Island Red rooster plucked?” Marianne asked me. I quit laughing. I hadn't thought When we set him down be tried to Sap his %Hngs and crow, and bow we laaghedt of that. “Let's hide him in that empty com crib, below the barn lot. With plenty of feed and wa- tor, his feathers should grow back In a week.'' “Sure as anything, Pa'U miss Red as soon as he gets home." Marianne remtaded me. “Ohl" That thought scared me. “Let’s borrow a red rooster from Mrs. Foster. It will only be for a week, and Pa won’t know the difference. Come on." We ran all the way acro.ss Jhe fleld to Mrs. Fo.slcr’s. and told her our predicamcn'.. She \v:is glad to lend us n nhodc Island Red Rooster. It was late wht.. uu folks got home, and Pa didn't noticc the exchange of roosters. Ho wns grumbling about the President of hit Dramatic Art Club wnnting him to write their play. What dn children do that would make an interesting play?” he asked Mn. and she shook her head. 1 was glad he had somelhiiiiL tn worry about just then, so ho wouldn't think of his roosicr When we went to feed old Rod. next morning, we expectcd lo see new feathers cohering his body, but there wasn't a new feather in Sight. We really were worried. •Til toll, you what. Sandy, let’s toke our money and got some feather tonic for Red,” Mnrlanne suggested. **Ma will let us go to town with Mrs.’ Foster this after­ noon.”“We'll do that. Marianne." I felt hopeful. Mrs. Fostor was glad to let us go with her to town, but tlte drug* gist- toughed when we asked for feather tonic. But we were really in a tight place, and wc com­ promised on hair tonic. That night we rubbed Red good wlth^hair tonic, and that or some­ thing else kept him crowing all night :'But Pa didn’t seem to no­ tice.. Bsrly next morning Mari­ anne and I hurried out to the crib. But old Red was still a picked chicken. “fm-aft'ald be gets cold at night, and that’s why he crows," Mari­ anne said. "Tonight we'll put my ^ d red sweater on him." T tat sounded like a good Idea, and . gave us-some hope. All day ^ :p lay ed in the far pasture, just to case . . . But that night wo used'twelve safety pins and pinnod ■ red secuKly into Marianne's red sweater. . But he crowed all night, and next morning before breakfast. I taw Pa making a bee-line for the old crib. In a few minutes, we saw him coming with Red In his hands. I hadn’t realized how fun ny Red looked, oiled with' hair timlc, and wearing Marianne's fveator. Pa was laughtog like he would spUt his sides. “How come, young- ftors?" he said, and we con­fessed. He laughed some more when we told him. then ran into the bouse yelling to Mother that he hsd found a story to write. * Msrlsnne and 1 felt relieved, yet we were sorry for Red. When Pa tet him down among the other chickens, they ran from him.

' The Crown Jewels Are Time-Honored Monarchy Symbols LONDON—For over a thousand years the Kings and Queens of England have been crowned with a solemn ritual. The Regalia, or Crown Jewels of England, time- honored symbols o( Monarchy, have always played an .essential part in tho ceremony. Even apart from their historic and symbolic associations, the value of the gems, precious metals' and worlt- manshlp. Is Impossible to compute. Most of tbe ancient State Regalia Was destroyed under Cromwell; Ihus when the Monarchy was re­ stored. now regalia had to be made tor the coronation of Charles II in 1661. In many cases, replicas of ihe old symbols were fashioned, notably St. Edward's crown and St. Edward’s staff. The Crown of England, known ns St. Edward’s Crown, is the one witli which the Archbishop of Can- tcbury actually crowns the Sov­ ereign. The Sovereign wears this crown only once in his or her life­ time—those few minutes in the abbey before it is changed for the less cumbersome Imperial State Crown. The St. Edward's Crown is of gold, set with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and pearls. It weighs nearly seven pounds. Tl)c Imperial State Crown was originally made for Queen Vic­toria. in 1838. since the other crown vas too heavy for her. It weighs just over 39 ounces and contains several famous gem.<;: the Black Prince's ruby, which haa belonged to the royal house .«ince 1367; the Second Star of Africa; the gi-eat sapphire from the crown of Charles 11: among other sapphires and pearls. Prof Says Herb Cures Were Sound NEW YORK-Don’t scoff at the ancients and their herb cures, says Dr. T. S. Ma. professor of Chem- l.«!try at New York University. Bom in China, Dr. Ma has come up with evidence that ancient Chinese herb cures appear to have been scien­tifically sound. Most of the herbs ti-sed medici­ nally in the Orient for thousands of years have been proven definite germ killei's. Citrus acid, a sub­ stance widely used in the prepara­ tion of soft drtnk.s, confectionery and certain medicines, ha.: been identified as the anti*tubercu1o5is agent in schiznndrn «hhiensis, nn Oriental herb cjiip‘«iy«*d as n rent- edy against dysentery, c o ld s, coughs and chest diseases. Citrus fruits are rich in citric acid, which is generally manufactured by the fermentation of starnh and sugar. Compared with isonicotinic acid hydrazide—a recently developed antl-tubercular drug—citric acid is only about one-twentieth as power­ ful against tuberculosis, but it can be given in larger amounts, is plen­ tiful and less expensive and ex­ hibits much more rapid antibac­terial activity in the test tube. Another common fruit acid, mal­ic acid, was also isolated from a Chinese plant and found to possess antibacterial activity.

Doc." Tohnny insisted. “You d o n ’t know those guys.'* HARD TO PLEASE He was a difEult customer. One of the two partners in the cloth­ ing store had shown him every suit on the rack but one. He helped him into each suit and pointed out the virtues of the gar­ ment. With each suit he would turn the man around and around in front of the mirror. Finally, hu despaired ot selling the man anything. Just then the partner stepped up and showed the customer the one remaining suit and the niah purchased it im> mediately. *'You see, Sam." said the suc­ cessful partner later, “what good salesmanship it takes to sell tough customer like that. You noticed 1 sold him on the first try.” 'Sure,” said the other, “but who got him dizzy.” JUSTRAISETHEM The neighborhood gossip, try­ ing to keep her files in good shape as to tbe business of all her neigh, bors, was busily questioning the small daughter of a family that moved into the vicinity to find out the family income. **You say that you have nine children in your family?” she ask­ ed. . **Isn*t that terribly;expensive? How can they afford so many?” **It isn't hard,” replied the small one. “We don't buy them. Just raise them.” Just Comments By R. S. Meroney, Asheville, N. C. I have before me a note from Mr. Stroud, and he suggests that X write something on any subject that I may choose. So with that lead I will comment on a few items which appeared in a recent issue of The Record: A subscriber complains that Tlie Record is too small, and the Edi­ tor whips back with the state­ ment that it is larger than a three cent stamp, but costs no more. Here we have a comparison of size, which has been a human er­ ror throughout the ages. To a child a dog Is large; to another, not a dog but an elephant is big; but a tree is big. No, a tree or an elephant is not big; a mountain is big, and so on. But in the final analysis size or time Is not the pro­ per yardstick by which the intrin­ sic value of an article can be meas­ ured. If it were, a Sears &. Roe- buck catalog would be more valu­ able than the New Testament. 1 pay a yearly subscription to The Davie Record because it contains matter that interests me. 1 could get the New York Times free by stopping by a reading room each day. The Times is ten times the size ofThe Record, but The Re­ cord is more valuable to me. It takes a good deal of boosr ing, a cood deal of knocking and lots of hard work to get a town started to growing. And we have done our share of all three, asserts Mr. Stroud in last Issue. Agreed that he is telling the truth; yet for years I have carried a peeve con cerning the way the average newS' paper and Chamber of Commerce go about increasing the size of their respective communities. To read the editorials and the litera­ ture put out by the different com­ mercial organizations, one might well be led to believe that the on* Iv way to increase flie size of a town was to persuade already es­ tablished enterprises in other cit­ ies to pull up and move to their city. This appeal has been stron gly urged on the textile industry of the North. The South has .of­ fered free land, exemption from Mural Painters Often Work at High Altitude STATE COLLEGE, Pa.-Palnt- Ing murals is as safe a way as anjr to earn a living—if one doesn't mind workbig from great heights. Stuart Frost obviously doesn't, for this 26 year-old artist Is now at work on a series of murals at the Pennsylvania State University, af. ter completing a previous assign­ment which had him worlcing some 74 fMt ott the ground. Tb* 74-loot etevation was in Washington’s Capital dome, where Frost, as assistant to Allyn Cox. haU>ed eomplete the famous fre s.' coes whidi surround the bate of tha doma. had a sort of cage-like acaf. fbUUng." he racalls, ‘^supported by girders bolted in the walls. To get to tbe cage, we bad to descend a ladder for a. distance equivalent to three stories. It was perfectly safe —yet. t Witt admit that the people below seemed pretty small when we looked out.” • Right now. Frost Is down to the 12-foot ladder stage, working on decorations for the new auditorium in the Mineral Sciences Building. The murals will show the depend­ ency of Pennsylvania upon the world for its mineral resources and UNBREAKABLE Customer: May I exchange this u..breakable doll?

Tm the revised work of a wife and three daugh*' ters.” raxes for certain periods, reduced water rates, and many other con­ cessions, and have succeeded to an extent in wrecking several Nor­ thern cities, and disrupting iheir labor balance. This all seems to me to be form of beginning; an admission of incompetence and a lack of self-reliance; and it is a question as to whether or not it is the best thing for the town that best succeeds in diis scheme. For in stance, Asheville, Brevard and Waynesville have been successful In bringing in outside industry, but have lost their reputation as ideal vacation spots and attractive­ ness for a class of people who are the most valuable to a commun­ ity. Hendersonville, among the many small towns of Western North Caro'ina. is about the only one that still retains the charm of an ideal vacation town, or a loca­ tion for those that appreciate a place where the air and general atmosphere are clean.

Surprising as It may seem to younger workers, people don*t automatically retire, f o r keeps when they reach age 65, it has been pointed out. Citing figures turned in to the Federal Old-Age and Survivors In­ surance system, nearlv 3 million elderly people are working regul­ arly. I^cHcally all of the group would be immediatly eligible for monthly retirement income i f their earnings dropped to $75 a month in covered employment. in health, social security re­ cords show, is the major cause for retirement. Le^s than five per* cent of the 65 year olds in good health quit voluntarily. Most o( those in good physical condition continue to work, contributing an estimated 12 billion dollars an< annually to the national income. Even if the 65th birthday isn^t an occasion for retirement, it is still the proper time for a worker to check on his old-age iHsurance rights under social security.

Serene Brow Comes From Beauty Core Is your forehead constantly wrinkled with deep lines or do you have a serene brow which marks srou as a lady of poise and lika* biUty?The unwrlnkled brow has had Its praises sung in many a poem, and rightfully so! It can be achieved only through effort. >by means of self-control and poise. Don't let this deter you, though, because it has a great attraction and may add more to your face and per­ sonality than any artifice. IRRITATfON CAOSES FROWN Furrows made In the brow are caused by irritation and anxiety. .When you permit eyebrow muscles to display annoyance and impa­ tience. frequently enough, the lines appear to freeze Into position. This gives you a permanent frown; loiig after initial impatience has die- appeared. Most of the wrinkling Is uneon* scious. but given some real con­scious consideration, you can eliminate much of the frowning. It’s well worth your whife. not only for appearance’s sake but also for your personality. Personality? Yes, because a par* son who is constantly annoyed and Irritated is not well or generally likad. You might even go ao far •• to conclude that the shape of the brow is an index to • perton'a ■baity to be liked. *8at out consciously to break (ha Crown habit Yoa eaa both laars «» control yourself and ttndaratand fliber pa<9l* battar so thay ans«y jo u la u .

But among all the tnfamiUar names —Phus, Lydia, Elam and many another—tharc la one we ^ all kiiow: Israel'. It was a going na- tkm for about 200 yaara. Sam through the ^ a of other nations it was "small pota* i toes” as we know I from ' Inscriptions i which have been dug up hfi r ^ e n t! years by the ar> i c h a e o lo g is ts ' spades; H covered 1 no more of the earth’s aurfaca! than New Je rs^ l_____________ does. But in its Dr. Paceman own eyas It was lmi>ortant: what nation is not? When Israel was just a Uttle older than the United States is howr it crashed to nothing, and since that time has been only an unfragrant mem. ory, a dead nation. The writer of It Kings 17 wrote its obituary. The Notion Forgot God What killed Israel? The naUon did not die of old age. for 200 years Is not a very long time for a nation to exist and pm per. Something killed that country. It mfght be 'said that H committed fulel<te->but what was the name «t lha poison which It swallowed? In one word, it was sin. But that does not teU us much. It is like giving ’’disease” on a death cer. tlfleate as the cause of death. Wbal dlseaseT What sinst Look­ing ovar the record as 11 Kings IT rama U up. we can see that se- rioiia ala which was the root of moal othera: forgetting God. The nation fbrgot what God had done for them in times past; they fOr- got that be Is a God of righteoua- ness, they supposed he did not specially care what they did so long as tiieir tithes were paid up and they had a good record of at­tendance at public wcMTShip. They had reminders of “God” all over the idace, but these were idols, images of beasts. They used the word "God” without realizing either tha |, the greatness or the boUness of the only true God. Con God lo OitpiMd?High>llghtad In the sad obituary of a dead-and-gone nation is the fact that as a nation they despised the law of God. How-U it possible to despise tha Almighty? Nations and indivlduala show their real contempt for*God by paying no attmtion to w tot ha has said. Millions of pMipla in America to- day act Juat a t If tha Ten Com- mandmenia <tor example) were only a a a t«( br^awa tc« fanatical atiU-aa Ifthay wera an ovMatad set of rules from a prlmlllfa civilization.

But a study ot a number ol dbrilexlc ehUdren showed that they wera «n* tirely lacking In eye domlnanea. Iliis was interpreted af foUowi:• The brain is made up ot two dli* tinct halves, with the left aide eon* trolling all activity on the right side of the body and vie* verM. When we iise both sides at once, as in jumping with the leet together, both sides of the brain are work­ ing but one is generally m eoalfdl —the right side for left-handed peo­ ple and the left side for the ri^ t- handed. Since reading is normally done with both eyes at once, we expect halt of our brain to control it. But in the dyslexic child, who has no dominant side, both tides try to take charge of the visual activities and confusion results.To cure this disability, an appar­ atus has been devised wMeh cUpa to the top ot a school desk and holds a book and a pad of writing paper. A black screen between Iba two prevents the dyslexic diDd from seeing the text directly, ^ut he sees it reflected in a mlrm^ backwards and upside down. Ha can read it more easily that wty than in its natural position, yet ha • copies it the right way 'rotind. Alter using this device for a While, he learns to copy better vrtthout the mirror and his cure Ji moB complete. The cure takes anywhere from two weeks tor a young child up to three months or more fof M older one. Electric Customers Over 50 Million NEW YORK—Electric customers in the United States hava paaiad the fifty million mark. This milestone for the alectrle industry was calculated ^ tfie Edison Electric Institute on the basis of continuing statiatlos r*> celved from the electric Industry throughout the country. The total customers on January 1 were 9QB.OOO. According to EEI estimates, the SO.OOO.OOOth customer started to re­ ceive service at some time Im> tween one and two o’clock on Jan­ uary 26th. EST. Since some 600 new customers throughout the country were connected during that hour, it will never be known exactly who the 50.000.000th cus­ tomer was. However, the occasion was spe. dally observed by a number ot the nation's utilities. Customers con­nected at that time in many cities and towns were specially honored by the local light and power com­ panies. Electricity is now io reach of nearly every American home, with about OB per cent ot occupied homes, both urban and rural, en­ joying electric service. About dO per cent ot electric customers are residential customers. Striking Wife Decides She Wishes Divorce ST. U>U!S-The wile who led l Strike against her husband's busi­ness policies now is striking for a divorce. Mrs. Marie Harrison, who pick­ eted her husband’s Venetian blind factory in a family labor dispute,, has filed for divorce. Mrs. Harrison said labor and domestic troubles were not con­ nected in any way. The 27-year old motttsr of six charged in her petition that Harri­son failed to support her and the children. Mrs. Harrison and her 19-year old son, George V. it., picketed her husband's factory, demanding a wage increase for George, Jr., and wages for herselt Bride's Third Night Snores Cause Divorce U>NDON-wmianl Jonu Bob- aria charged that his wife snored —and snored deliberately — from tlM titird night ot their honeymoon.

Whatever a person may think about that, one thing t« certain: If a Christian is not growing, he is not like Jesus. For the next three roontha the Bible lessons studied In an the ehurches that sponsor this series will be on the gen­ eral su b ject o f| "Growth in Chris­tian Living." Can this be studied?Doesn't grow th come naturally or not at all? For answer to th a t| question, coinldcr_____________the L ord Je su s Dr. Foreman himself. It is said of him that he "increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man.” It Jesus is our Example in growth, as well as in other ways, then we can learn much about Christian growth from him. ATim«ForSrni99l«The Greek language in which Luke wrote, has words for every­ thing. Many times we can see what Luke meant by carefully looking into the Greek words he used, which are sometimes more precise than our English words usually are. In Luke 2:40 It is written that Jesus the boy "grew.” In Luke 2:82 It is said that he “Increased.” Now those are two different Greek words, in the orlg- hial manuscript, and they do not mean Just the same thing at all. The first is the ordinary everyday word for “grow.” Plants grow, animals grow, the little boy Jesus grows. The same word Is used for all kinds of living things. Now a little boy. say five years old. no more tries to grow than an oyster does. Ife will gi-ow, all right. Nothing can stop him U he gets plenty oC food and sunshine. When he goes to school he does not have to study hard, he “picks up” things as we say. But there comes a time In every boy's Ufc. and it must have come in Jesus' life, when this simple word “grow” is not enough any more. The word "Increw** la a different word en­tirely. It means literally to cut one’s way forward. It is the word which was used to describe what a road-butlding crew did in chop­ping out a trail through the for­ est. It is a word for effort, strug- gle. hard work. The time came tor Jesus, aa it does for all grow­ ing persona, when he could no longer grow without putting out his own vigorous strength. Good Animol? An angry woman came into a teacher's room one day and com­ plained about the way her poor Uttle boy (a raaeal If ever thara waa one) had been treated. ”1 want you to tmderstand.*' she said, “that t don’t care U ha Is a •cholar ar not. AH f want is for him to be a good animal.” If the teaehar bad not been young and shy, ha would hava said to the woman, “Madam, that*# Just the trouble. He ia a good animal; wa should like to have him develop' Into .something else besides. It all you want is a good animal, take your boy home; he has grad­ uated!” Ot course the lady was partly right We human beings are antmala. and aa auch we ought to develop i^grsioally to the beat of our capact^.

He dragged the .protesting dandy into the aisle and the two of them struggled down the rmv way amid the boos and. chcc^.^ of the delighted spectators. EhcH time tba stranger opened his mouth a roar went up from the erowd; finally he gave It up as a bad )eb and stood glowering at tba shariir. Giles could be giving InstruetionB to Bill Evan.<s. bis dapttty and atrutted back up tba aiala to look for a good seat. Now that ha had done his job he could watch the show with open aatisfactlon.
