C Public School Bulletin:— The Generally Assembly of 1941 passed an act providing “for the extension of the public school sys tern to embrance twelve grades in those school districts requesting the same” to be paid for from the appropriations made for the opera tion of the State eight months school term. The-passage of this act came as a result of Its advocacy by the North Carolina Congress of Parents and Teachers, the North Carolina Edn- tion Association, the North Caro­ lina State Grange, the State Su­ perintendent of Public Instruction, in their improvement of the public school system. The Governor put the great power of bis office behind the proposal. And so with all this support a law will enacted, which when fully in effect will mean much to the boys and girls of North Ca­ rolina. Under the provisions of the act the actual establishment of twelve grades In any unit will not be made before the school year 1942 43 . Dur­ ing the first year of the biennium a great deal of thought and study is to be given to the organization of the public schools, and by 1942 43 it is contemplated that the program embracing a twelve grade system may be started In those schools ready for the change. It is con templated also that within three or four years the twelve years school program will be fully established and in effect. What Boys Can Do. The Rock Hill, S. C., Herald carried an ad a short time ago for the bank in that town giving facts and figures to show what boys, with some help and encouragement, can do, The People’s National Bank of Rock Hill is evidently making a specialty of Helping boys, financial­ ly and otherwise, thus sowing good seed for the bank in that county. In an ad p-evious to the one quoted below figures had been given about bow many turkeys had been grown in the county last year and had rotated an offer to loan money to deserving boys for the production of chickens, turkeys, cows, pigs and other livestocks. Then the bank tells this very interesting story: Going over the recofds of the bank recently, we were impressed with the outcome of a loan made In April, 1939, to an ambitious boy of Fort Mill township whose name we are not authorizeed to reveal. Any­ way this young man procured a loan of £110 at this bank to pur­ chase three Guernsey heifers, 12 months old. The records show that be sold two of his young- bull calves for $13, has one heifer calf worth $30 , and three cows - censer vativety worth $250. With the exception of $25, the entire loan was paid off from the sale of milk from the two calves. About the same time, his brother, likewise ambitious, borrowed $200 from this institution which enabled him to buv 4 white faced calves, 7 months old. He now has 4 other calves that he figures are worth $180, and he values the 4 original calves to He not less than $300 . The loan was paid promptly, how­ ever by wages he received from a job on the side.” No town or city can grow and prosper unless the surrounding ter­ ritory grows and prospers with it. It piys to encourage boys and girls on the farm in the right direction. TO SELL ’EM, TEU 1EM- Witb Aa AE A Warning To Doctors. Thursday, Winston-Salem. Fists flew In the downtown office of a prominent local doctor, when an enraged father sought vindica­ tion sor the doctor’s neglect of his wife In childbirth. The doctor had shifted the delivery to a young interne. When the father, responsible of­ ficial in a large local mill; learned that the doctor he had paid to at­ tend the birth of his child bad failed to show up for the delivery, he angrily phoned the doctor and told him he was “coming to get aim.” In a few minutes he stalked into the doctor’s office, swept off the doctor’s glasses with a left hand, and punched him with a right. Another doctor intervened, stopped the fight. The trouble started when the man and bis wife found that their re­ gular physician would be unable to attend at the birth of the child. The family physician recommend­ ed another doctor, who demanded $50 pay in advance. Though UUt accustomed to paying for medical services in advance, the man paid his bill and entrusted the mother’s care to the new doctor. When birth became imminent se­ veral weeks ahead of schedule, the excited father called the doctor and rushed bis wife to Baptist Hospital. The doctor instructed the father not to'go to ' the hospital during the time of the child’s birth. But after the child had been- delivered he visited his wife, to learn. that the doctor whose' services he had engaged had not attended the birth at all. When the angry father stormed into the doctor’s office, the doctor immediately pulled $50 from his pocket and placed it upon the desk; but the father ignored the refunded money and went after the neglect­ ful doctor in vengeful fury. Later, at the hospital again, the boiling father learned that the re. spvnsibility of delivering bis baby had been shifted by the specialist to a yonng interne. !Services of the family physician were drafted. The situation last week was this: wife and baby doing well under family doctor and interne’s care, father still indignant and threatening law suit if anything should happen to either wife or baby. Democracy. What is democracy and howdoes it work? There are a lot of mpn at Fort Bragg right now. The pick of the bunch are getting $1 per day while the flat footed ones are get­ ting $5 and up.. Is that the demo, cracy that we have just given seven billion dollars to perpetuate? Is that the democracy that we are spending five times that amount to defend? Does democracy mean that some men shall enjoy freedom that has run definitely into license while others are forced to work for $1 per day. The ten dollar men are striking today in this democra­ cy (?> while if the $1 man was to strike he would be stood up before a firing squad. What price democ­ racy when the man who uses a gun and faces death is forced to work for $1 while another who works with a hammer and saw in. perfect safety stops everything until his demand for $10 is met. What price democracy when one man is altowed to become a millionaire with war profits while another works for $1 per day. Let us not lose every­ thing that makes democracy a thing to die for in our effprt to preserve it for the world. Eventhepoorfi per day man is not much pited as we will be paying and paying pen. sions tohis grandchildren because of the political strength of his after, the-war organization. Watch your step. —Charity and Children. Republican Party Lives Anew. A few years ago a little girl named Virginia wrote a New York news­ paper editor asking him if it were trpe that there is no Santa Claus. The reply of that famous editor is one of the elassics of the past de­ cade. Recently we received from some anonymous writer a clipped editor! al headed, “Has the Republican Party Cashed In Its Chips?” We recall some years ago a man named Alton B. Parker was the nominee of the Democratic party and when he went down to such an overwhelm, ing defeat, some one asked, “Shall the Democratic party live again?” It is also fresh in our minds that a gentlemen who wore abrown derby, nicked named by Franklin Roose­ velt as “ Happy Warrior,” went down to one of the worst defeats our Democratic friends have ever suffered. And we also recall that during those campaigns the Repub­ licans did not have a million or more receiving federal handouts in the form of relief or anything else to compel them to vote our ticket, as did occur in the 1940 campaign. It is also very fresh in the minds of our people how Roosevelt and Wallace were rammed down the throats of the people at Chicago when the sewer chief with ampli­ fiers in the balconies kept crying from th e basement “We want Roosevelt,” and they dared to tell the electorate that the Great Allah of the White House was “drafted.” Despite the defeat of the Repub­ lican national ticket in 1940 the G. O. P. record was not a bad one. As Chairman of Martin pointed out in a recent address, 20 of the 48 States of the Unionxhave Republi cans governors. Eliminating the ten Southern States which are chronically Democratic, the Repub­ lican governors. Eliminating the ten Southern States which are chro­ nically Democratic, the Republican congressional candidates received 50.3 per cent of the vote; in the 38 contestable states the Republicans carried 1,120 and the Democrats 936 counties. Much of the strength of any political party lies in the number of local officers which it holds. Roosevelt, in his third term, has proven that he does not trust bis own party leaders, nor can he find one in the lot big enough to handle the great war problems for him. He took two very able Republicans to make them Secretaries of War and Navy, so that his defense pro­ gram might move along as smooth­ ly as he wished it to. No, the Republican party—the great party of Abraham Lincoln— is not dead. It stands today un. tainted by New Dealism, and it is headed for one of its greatest vie tories at the end of the Roosevelt debacle. At the close of the World War No, I, the people turned to the Republican party to pay off the Wilson debts and put the nation back on its feet. At the dose of the World War No 2 the nation is going to turn again to the Repub­ lican party to try to breathe life in­ to a people that Roosevelt has left bleeding, helpless, with daggers in every portion of the body—if there is left any place where life may be breathed into it. And no Republican President will tell the people “We will drink our way back to prosperity,” No, the Republican party is not dead. It lives anew in the heatts of millions of patriotic Americans and from coast to coast it shall a gain reign in the high places, and give America once again an honest administration of its affairs.—Union Republican. T he R ecord is only $1 Life’s Better Way. Rev. W. E. Isenhour, Hlddenitei N C. It’s great to find Life’s Better Way And walk therein from day to day; To pray and hope and smile and sing And to the right forever cling. A THOUSAND BLUNDERS. If you've made a thousand blunders At the things you know are right, Till perhaps your own heart wonders If you’ll ever win the fight, Don’t decide to quit the struggle And submit to your defeat, Though your efforts seem to smug- gle Only thoughts of your retreat. Never count yourself defeated Till you yield to grim despair, And you know that you are cheated Out of all that’s rich and rare; That you’ve lost your goal forever And for you there is no prize, Where the dark domains will never Give another chance to rise. But resolve to be a fighter And a winner in the race. Which will make vour pathway brighter, And will give you grit and grace, For the years of toil and labor That you’ll have to struggle thru. Ere you stand beside some neighbor Who has been a hero true. Thereis always hope of winning Just as long as you have grit, Though the devil, from beginning, Olt has tempted you to quit; Bnt if you will flee the faster From the tempter of your soul, And will trust the blessed Master He will lead you to yonr goal. PersonneII of Navy Io Be Increased It was announced by the Navy Recruiters of Salisbury, that the Navy Is beginning at once, the un­ limited enlistment of men in the Naval Reiserves for training in Spe­ cialists ratings, as the following.

Brewers Pay $3,900 To Stale Lobbyist The United States Brewer Asso­ ciation has reported to Secretary of State Thad Eure at Raleigh that it had paid Sam Blount, a Beaufort at­ torney, 83,900 for lobbying activi­ ties during the 194] General Assem­ bly.

New DeaIjfAdds Water To Ils Liquor. The Yellow Jacket Behold how repeal works. Back when ’'repeal” was the big issue, the wets contenden that repeal would put an end to bootlegging. Bnt of course it turned out just a- bout like most of New Deal prom­ ises. Now the government pro­ poses to thin down government li­ quor to 60 percent, proof in order to compete with the bootleg trade which hasn’t been stopped, but is becoming bigger and bigger every day. Well, the New Deal has wa­ tered about everything else, sowhv not “water” its liquor? Bachelor Beware! Down in the fair country of our good neighbor, Brazil, a special tax is being slapped on bachelo*s. It’s a part of an “ominibus” mea­ sure intended to ‘‘protect the Brasi­ lian family.” Poor bachelors! If thev continue to enjoy the freedom of single bless­ edness they’ve got to pay a tax. Perhaps it should be called a “Li­ berty levy” or something equally a- propos, Theunmarried males should wear bachelor’s button, with special super-inscriptions: We Do Our Part: Do You? Whether there is also a tax on old maids, for the further protection of the Brasilian family we are not in­ formed We wouldn’t be the least surprised to find one in our own A- merican treasury's plan to raise three and a half billion berries for the defense program, though. So for, Washington bos revealed its intentions of reviving the “nuis­ ance” taxes of the First World war, on railroad tickets, soft drinks, and even candy for courting. So why not soak the men who refuse to buy sweets for a lady love? Tar Heel Congressman Bob Dough- ton, head of the House committee, studying the plans in silent secrecy, is keeping mum as a mummy about the full list of new taxes. “Farmer Bob” says he doesn’t wish toi"alarm the people over some­ thing that might not happen.” That sounds like something’s going to happeu, all right; and the people already are alarmed—but not over the prospect of heavier taxes. They’re already alarmed over something else that’s already hap­ pened, in Yugoslavia and Greece and other countries; and what may hap. pen in Egypt, or Spain, or England, or eventually even closer to the U. S. A. We’ll pay for defense, “Farmer Bob.” anything you say. Even bache­ lor taxes!

PARTON(Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) XT EW YORK.—Maj. Gen. Henry H. Arnold, chief of the army air corps who has just arrived in Eng­ land to serve as an official observer Arnold, Pupil of °* tIle war’ Wrights, Pioneer In Army Aviation ice who learned to fly under the per­ sonal supervision of Wilbur and Or­ ville Wright at their school in Day­ ton, Ohio. Just two years previ­ously the war department had ac­ cepted delivery of its first batch of airplanes and so his experience as a flier pretty nearly spans the com­plete period of army aviation. Anyone who can recall the status of flying in 1911 will ap­ preciate “Hap” Arnold’s exploits in his first year of training as a young lieutenant, assigned to flight duty from the infantry, with a record of 140 flights, 29 hours in the air. In his second year of training he achieved honor as the first winner of the Mackay trophy awarded for ex­cellence as a military pilot. In a day so blustery and cold as to keep all but 2 of 12 entrants out of the race he completed a 40- mile flight, originating at College Fark, Md., at an average speed of 52 miles an hour. Twenty-two years later he again won the trophy as leader of a flight of 10 twin-engined bombers from Washington, D. C., to Alaska and re­ turn. As early as 1911 he prac­ ticed at aerial bombardment and war department records credit him with being the pioneer in the suc­ cessful use of the radio for military purposes in an airplane. Quite at variance with the out­ ward semblance of this slightly built, silver-haired soldier with his diffident smile, is his forthright ut­terances and writings concerning the airplane as a war machine. “The only way to prevent air Invasion is to attack the invader with superior numbers and knock him out of the air.” He has been preaching this for years, his concern having ever been for the constant procure­ment of thousands of new, im­ proved combat craft, training of thousands of new pilots, enlist­ ment of tens of thousands of ground crew men, swelling of aircraft plants and acquisition of vital raw material for future aircraft production. Still an active pilot, mounting ad­ ministrative duties have cut down his time in the air and restricted his activity in two hobbies—cooking and writing fiction. Boys who re­ member his “Bill Bruce” books, in­ cluding “Bill Bruce at West Point,” “Bill Bruce at Flying School,” and other breath-taking juvenile works, will regret the recent idleness of his pen.

So act­ing, she represented her husband, Commander Ernani Do Amaral Peixoto, governor of the state of Rio de Janeiro—for which the vessel was named—as well as her father, Getulio Vargas, president of Brazil. A petite, vivid woman, who has made a delightful impres­ sion upon those concerned in making the current visit of the distinguished Brazilian pair an important hands - across - the - sphere event, the senhora holds a degree in law, the result of study at the University of Bra­ zil, a profession, however, in which she has never practiced. Marrying soon after graduation she eventually became secretary to her father, a position she now holds. Her hosts in New i York have found her a fluent speaker of English. This acquirement has made her of value to her husband as an inter­ preter when our idiom and more in­volved diction carry him beyond his depth. No one, it seems, has yet found her at a loss on economic, so­ cial, or political questions—in fine she is a brilliantly accomplished woman. Practical, too. When it be­ came clear that certain handwork arts in Europe no longer would be available to American buyers she founded the Fundacao Anchieia^in Rio de Janeiro which gives free training in fine needlework to Brazil­ ian women.

Bita Hayworth By VIRGINIA VALE(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) R ita h a y w o rth , whose . rise to movie heights makes one of Hollywood’s most spectacular success stories, has drawn the co- starring role opposite Fred Astaire in Columbia’s “He’s My Uncle” because she really deserves _ it. This is a really im­portant picture; the songs are by Cole Porter, the dance se­ quences will be di­ rected by Robert Al­ ton, who did the dance' routines for three of Broadway’s most popular cur­ rent musicals. Rita’s a member of the in­ternationally known Cansino family: has danced all her life. Did you happen to. listen, to. Bing Crosby’s radio program the night J. Carrol Naish appeared on it? If you did, you’ll remember that Naish sang an Irish ballad. Until then nobody in Hollywood knew that he had a good baritone voice, and had sung on the stage. William C. Thomas of the Pine-Thomas organi­ zation, producing aviation pictures for Paramount, listened, and learned. Naish was already booked for a role in “Forced Landing”—now he’s scheduled to sing a song as well as act. Ella Neal established something of a record recently when she ap­peared In three pictures in three days. On Wednesday she was Jon Hall’s handmaiden in “Aloma of the South Seas”; Thursday morning, for “Buy Me That Town,” she was a mother at her baby’s christening; Friday, die played a Mexican bride in “Hold Back the Dawn”—for that one she had to say something in Spanish, which she doesn’t under­ stand; she’s still wondering what it meant. __ If you enjoyed "The Cat and the Canary,” made two years ago, you’ll look forward with good reason to “Nothing But the Truth,” in which the same stars — Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard-appear. It’s in the hands of the same director, Elli­ ott Nugent. It’s the hilarious story of a stock broker who bets $10,000 that he won’t tell a lie for 24 hours, and the cast includes such capable actors as Ed ward Arnold, Grant Mitchell, Rose Hobart, Helen Vinson, Leon Belasco and Leif Erikson. It looks as if Gloria Swanson would really return to the screen in “Father Takes a Wife” with Adolphe Menjou, Desi Arnaz and John How­ ard. Mr. Menjou, famous for his wardrobe, and Miss Swanson, equal­ly famous for hers, have been hav­ ing wardrobe tests at RKO; she has a reputation in New York for being able to wear just anything at all and look smart ih it. Bob Hope Joan Crawford’s New York fans, who troop around at her heels when­ ever she’s in town, recently present­ ed her with a rather staggering birthday gift—a birthday card more than two feet square, which they’d had autographed by dozens of fa­ mous theatrical people.■ s? The public apparently spends a lot of time and thought on trying to beat the quiz shows; the newest wrinkle bobbed up recently in connection with Ben Bemie’s program. For two weeks he was besieged with requests for tickets to the repeat show. Here’s the reason: The final contestants vying for the prize of $100 are selected by their ability to guess from a recording how many shots are fired out of a machine gun in so many seconds. One night on the first show, the number of shots fired was 52. On the repeat show, all the contestants promptly guessed 49, 50 and 51. But they were fooled—Bernie had 93 shots fired the second time; by let­ting the record run longer. Because a singer on the “Uncle Ezra” program got a chance to make a movie with Shirley Temple, the announcer on the same program gets a chance to be a network sing­ er. The first singer is Bob Nolan, the announcer is Cy Harrice.

Never in the history of fashion have prints beep put-to such different and fascinating' uses. Anything and eve^thing . that can be made of printed,’fabric' is being made. Per­ haps' thg- biggest splurge prints are maliihg. at present is their teaming uprwith monotone wools.This ...companioning of print with plain is.. dramatically interpreted throughout all costume design but most notably in jacket suits, red- ingote ensembles and in capes. While splashy huge-patterned prints plajy an important role in formal evening apparel and play clothes, neit, small prints are featured in smart daytime ensembles. However, what these prints of tiny motifs and checks lack in size is made up in color. For instance, the latest fashion, is to top red prints of heat design with red wool coats, jackets or capes—a fashion that is being used to a great extent in teen- agO frocks.Red prints are the rage this sea­ son. Made up in dresses, they are variously teamed with black, navy, or ;as mentioned above, red. This trefid is illustrated in the model shown to the right in the photograph. This dress featured by the Style Cre­ ators of Chicago in a recent display, is -topped by a flower print red crebe with a thin black wool jacket, tai&red to perfection. The pleated Skijit and the hat that repeats the prMt of the dress are smart ac­cents. The youthful cape coat in dark woitl, centered in the group, is made outstanding by the introduction of a silk print' lining in the newly im­ portant fin\e check print, repeating the. silk print check of the slim, pleated dress with which it is worn. A youthful interpretation, of the print with plain vogue is pictured to the left. This ingenue dress is of delft blue and white print crepe. The jacket, wearable over other things, is of blue rabbit's hair. Note that the sleeves are short, in keeping with the girlishness of the ensemble. There is a cunning little handker­ chief of the print. This is one of those casual, intriguingly styled dress-plus-jacket outfits that, is so universally likeable for general wear. There is',a new use of prints this season that is challenging the cre­ ative genius of. designers. It is the idea of trimming with gay' prints. You will see it carried out in pipings, bindings, appliques of print motifs, also bow trims of print bands. There is, for example, the dress with pleated skirt that is topped with a monotone jacket that is bound with an inch bordering of print, or possibly a mere binding— just enough to relate it to the dress with which it is worn. Another way of arriving at a “touch of print” for your costume is to have a hat and bag of print that will enliven mono­ tone dresses and coats to the nth degree.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) I P la id A c c e n ts - A - Here’s how to add a note of gaiety to a navy , suit that boasts an ex­ treme mannish cut. Wear a plaid taffeta hat; and carry matching ac­ cessories! Choose a wide-brimmed hat of plaid taffeta in red and soft bliies. Over your shoulder, sling a matching pouch bag. Oimax the plaid program with a handkerchief of matching plaid. It is the better part of wisdom to buy a simple one- color suitor coat, than depend on ac­ cessories to give it eye-dazzling chic. H air Styles Reveal New Flow er Motifs A new vogue that probably will spread like wildfire is a cluster of flowers worn at each side of the head, balanced symmetrically. Hie flowers are caught to a ribbon band or to one of the new hairbands that fit to the head. R o s e s T a k e S p o tlig h t I n M a n y F a b r ic D e s ig n s It’s rosetime in fashionland. The most featured flower in fabric de­sign, in hat trimmings and in smart corsages is the rose. It is going to be a particularly “rosy" summer in cottons, because cottons this year are reminiscent of weaves that were favorites in the early 1900s. You will find roses blooming on waffle piques, on un­ bleached muslins, in mezzotint, on glazed chintz and on lawns and per-1 cales. For party frocks, the newest ma­ terials are hand-painted sheers. A huge American Beauty rose, one painted on the bodice, one on the skirt, enhances the beauty of these sheers. Don’t overlook the cunning little sailor hats that are made to wear with the new tailored suits or cape costumes. You will be charmed with single rose trim that mounts right from the very front of the crown. The latest evening corsage is a single long-stem rose. Cotton Fabrics Essentud To W ardrobes, Supplies A surplus commodity without which homemakers would be lost is cotton. There are probably more cotton fabrics suited for more varied uses than fabrics made from any other fiber or combination of fibers. Cot­ tons make up into at least 30 dif­ferent fabrics suitable for dresses for women, girls and infants. Without cotton, sheets, pillow­ cases, ticking and linings of comfort­ ers, curtains, draperies, upholstery materials, bath towels, hand towels and dish towels would disappear.

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HOME REGARDING BEVERAGE ALCOHOL LESSON TEXT—Deuteronomy 6:4-7; Jer emiah 35:5-10.GOLDEN TEXT-Traln up a child In the way he Ihould go; and when he Is old, he will not depart trom it.—Proverbs' 22:6. Tho responsibility of. the.home re­ garding' liquor is primarily that of providing a place for children to grow up tinder proper principles and practice. That means that the home should be a Christian home, where both parents follow Christ in life as well as profession. Young people about to establish a new home should give themselves with­ out reservation to Christ. Those who began their home as a Chris­tian home, but who have drifted through carelessness or unbelief, should renew their devotion to Christ. America needs many things, but first and foremost stands its need of real Christian homes. I. Preparing to Meet Temptation (Deut. 6:4-7). Temptations will come, and when they do it will be too late to prepare a defense against them. We are all “defense, conscious” these days. We have seen in the sad events of the last year that there must be ade­ quate preparation in advance if we are to withstand the enemy. That is doubly true in the realm of the moral and spiritual. We must build moral fiber and appreciation of spir­ itual things into the lives of our boys and girls from their infancy. How? 1. By a Consistent Example (w. 5-6). Only the father (or mother) who loves the Lord with all his be­ ing and who has permitted God’s Word to enter into his heart will set the right example. It is well to know something about child psychology, about the principles of rearing chil­ dren, etc., but these, without a right relationship to God, are cold and powerless. But let file parents walk before their children in earnest Christian living, let them honor God’s Word in their lives and in the home, and they will lay the finest foundation for Christian character in their children. 2. By Correct Teaching (v. 7). The parent should make the teach­ ing of God’s Word to children a mat­ ter of first importance. It is to be expected that the children will be in church and Sunday school with their parents (notice the word “with”—it’s not enough to send them), but that is not sufficient. Blessed and fruitful is that home life in which the Word of God is a normal and easy topic of conversa­tion, where spiritual things are dis­ cussed intelligently and without re­ straint. Every home can be that kind of a home, if the parents will do what they Imow they should do about it. H. Standing In the Hour of Temptation (Jer. 35:5-10). As a protest against the heathen­ dom, the intemperance, and corrup­tion of the city life of his day, Jona- dab instructed his house or tribe to live an itinerant life and, above all, not to touch wine.We are not called to imitate in detail their way of living, but rather to learn from them the principles of consistent temperance. I, Remembrance (w. 6, 7). Jere­ miah Was sent to test the Rechabites (not to tempt them to fall) by offer­ ing them wine, but to them it was. a real temptation. They met it promptly and without fear, because they had in their hearts and minds the teaching of their “father” Jona- dab. Blessed is the boy or girl who In the lone and trying hour of temp­ tation is not confiised by the nega­ tive, or unchristian example of par­ents, but who at once has a vision of a God-fearing father and mother, and a remembrance of their faithful teaching of God’s standards of life. 2. Obedience (w. 8-10). Here again is a lesson which must be learned from the tender years of babyhood, but which bears glorious fruit in the day's of young manhood and womanhood. The parent who does not tactfully, kindly, but with­ al, firmly, teach children to obey has undermined their life in ad­ vance.The Rechabites loyally obeyed the word of their founder, and passed- their hour of testing with flying col­ ors. They had his example, they knew his teaching, and life itself had proved to them ihat they were in the right way. A closing word. The liquor in­ terests are concerned because the consumption of beer is rapidly fall­ ing’off'and'because most of their customers are “elderly or middle- aged.’’ They are spending tremen­dous sums in advertising to “get the beer drinking habit instilled in thou­ sands, almost millions, of young men who do not at present know the taste of beer.”TTtat is their avowed aim. Shall they be permitted to put it across? -Not if Christian people will put the influence of the American - home squarely where it ought to be— against the liquor traffic. THRIFT CUTS—MORE MEAT FOR TOUR MONEY (See Recipes Below) MEATS FOR BUDGET MEALS If you’re meat-wise, then you’re budget-wise! For the less expensive cuts of meat have a way of making food dollars real­ ly s-t-r-e-t-c-h.What’s more, the thrift cuts of meat are equally as chock full of flavor, health- guarding vita­mins, body-build­ ing proteins and minerals as the more expensive ones. When you buy a chuck roast instead of chops; hamburger instead of steak; or baby beef liver instead of calves liver, your economy isn’t depriving your family or guests of even a teeny, weeny bit of food value. That’s the verdict of nutrition experts. And they know. Economy in purchasing meat comes from knowing the wide vari­ ety of different meat cuts available, and from purchasing some of the cuts which are not In greatest de­ mand. For example, a pot roast of beef, delicious as it is and as much as it is enjoyed by everyone, sells for considerably less per pound than a rib roast of beef. The reason, of course, is that there is a greater demand for rib roast. You’ll surely be pleased, and sur­prised, too, at the way you can save money on your food budget, at the same time add­ ing variety to both your family and company meals, by following to­ day’s penny-pincher recipes. *Stuffed Shoulder of Lamb. How to Buy: Good quality lamb is pinkish and well-marbled with fat. Outside fat is smooth, hard, glossy and cream-white. Look for both gov­ ernment inspection stamp and pack­ er’s private grade stamp. Find the grade that suits you, then always buy it. Ask your meat man to bone the shoulder, leaving a cavity to fill with stuffing. (You can use the bones for broth, soup or gravy stock.) , How to Cook: Prepare a well-sea­ soned stuffing; fill cavity, then sew up edges or skewer in place. Weigh meat after stuffing to compute cook­ing time. Place fat side up on rack in open pan, rub with salt and. pep­ per. Cook in slow oven (325 de­grees F.), allowing about 35 min­ utes per pound. Garnish with mint leaves and a vegetable; serve. De­ licious! Dressing for Lamb. 2 slices bacon 2 cups bread crumbs I cup sour apples, chopped I cup raisins- Vz cup celery,, chopped Fry bacon until crisp and add to bread crumbs, raisins, diced apples and celery. Season with salt and pepper and pile lightly into cavity in lamb shoulder. Eye-of-Round Roast. How to Buy: The lean of beef should be well-marbled with fat, firm, smooth, glossy: soon after the meat is cut, the surface should turn bright red. The outer fat should be fairly thick, firm, flaky, cream- white. In lower grades fat is soft­er, yellower. Plough price per pound will perhaps exceed that of rib roast, it is all solid meat—no bones, no fat, to waste of any kind. LYNN SAYS: Spread apple or crabapple jelly over the top of roasting ham, veal or pork for the last 30 min­ utes. The jelly gives an appetiz­ ing flavor and a glossy brown top. Crumbled bacon adds a won­derful. new flavor :to cooked, green beans, yellow or white squash, browned navy beans or spinach. Add the bacon in the last 5 min­ utes. Long, slow cooking at a low heat is the general rule for cook­ ing the thrifty cuts of meat. Ranking low on the butcher’s price list but high in nutrition are such meats as kidney, brains, lrart and liver. They make de­licious dishes when properly cooked.

THE DAVIE RECORD. C. FRANK STROUD - - Editor. TELEPHONE Entered at the Postoffice in Mocks- vllle, N. C., as Second-class Mail matter. March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - I SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - I The Record informed the world a few weeks ago that Mocksville was one of the dirtiest towns in the country. No one had said a word about it until an article appeared in this paper. Perhaps the other papers and news agencies in this section didn’t know abont it nntl! they read it in The Record. Seems to us that if the Govern­ ment cap draft the young men and compel them to serve a vear in the training camps, that the same Gov­ ernment could draft the factory workers who are on strike and com pel tuein to work, so that the de­ fense program would move along and not be held up. It’s a poor rule that won't work hotb ways. New Store Buiidmg Completed. The new store building on North Main street, owned by Geo. R. Hendricks and J. A. Kimbrough, Ir., has been completed, and is one of the prettiest and most up-to-date store buildings in the town. The store is situated between Mocks vilie Cash Store and Hall-Kim brough Drug Co., and will be oc­ cupied by the Wallace store The A'nderson building on the corner, now occupied bv Wallace, will house the Davie Furniture Co. They will occupv the entire first floor of the Anderson building.

Penny Brothers, the World’s Origi­ nal Twin Auctioneers, of Charlotte, are selling the Dr. Anderson pro­ perty in and near town on that date. This property includes small farms and home sites, business lots on and near the square, and residential lots in north and south Mocksville.

A crime he had committed In a' fit of excite­ment bad shattered all his confidence In himself. He felt forced to avoid pretty Uary Doncaster, who boarded the ship at Honolulu. She was en route to visit her parents, who were missionaries on GUead Island. Mary was attracted by George’s at­tempts to avoid her. One day George accidentally fell overboard. Mary unbest tatingly dove into the sea to rescue George, who falls in love with her. When the boat approached her home on Gilead Island, they learned that Mary’s parents had both died. George volunteered to take charge of the mission and asked Mary to be his wife. Sbe accepted his clumsy IH1Oposal, and they left the ship to live in her former home on the island. The scanty dress of the natives shocked George ..at first, but he soon be­came reconciled to their customs. Mary discovered that Corkran, a saUor friend of George’s, had deserted ship to live on the island. He had come there to help George and Mary if they needed him. Their peace­ful life was interrupted one day when a ship stopped in the harbor in search of pearls. They see the pearl divers attacked and their schooner sunk by a pirate ship. The pirates head their boat toward the bay near their village. George sends Mary in­land for safety and walks down to the beach, alone and defenseless, to meet the unwelcome visitors. Natives carry him back to Mary hours later, shot through the shoul­der. Natives killed the pirates that night and set their boat afire. The boat was still burning when the long-awaited whaler, the Venturer, arrived. Mary was told that its captain had died, and that his sons, Rich­ard and Peter Corr, were now in charge as captain and first mate. CHAPTER YlII—Continued Mary told him what had happened. When she spoke of Fritz Aulgur’s first coming to hunt pearls, Richard asked quickly: “Pearls? Did he find any?” “Yes.” “Here? On this island?” He frowned at his own thoughts as die went on. She told him she and George had half forgotten Fritz, because there were so many people sick on the island, and dying, and he asked: “Where’d they catch it?” “George had a cold when we land­ ed here. He’s not very well, even now. I’m afraid they got it from him.” She went on tb tell him of the other schooner, and how the men aboard her killed Aulgur. and shot George; and how the islanders surprised that schooner in the night and clubbed the men and burned her afterward. She saw him more and more alert as she proceeded. “That’s why they’re hiding now,” he decided. “They’re afraid of us. They’ll jump us too if we give them a chance. They’re scared, and when natives are scared you can’t figure ’em.” He asked: “Mary, have you told Peter about the pearls?” “No. I didn’t tell him much of anything.” “Well, don’t, then,” he directed. “Don’t tell him or anyone about the pearls. The men will be wanting to turn divers if they know.”“All right.” “Is your husband badly hurt?”“I think he’ll be all right. But he’s sick, too, Richard.” “Richard, ipill you take us home with you?” His eyes lighted. “Sure! Now you’re sensible. You* don’t belong here, Mary. How about your hus­band? Will he go?” “He wants to, yes.” Re swung to look vigilantly toward the Ventmer at anchor half a mile off, and she said:. ,“George, doesn’t know what happened. I mean about the mas­sacre.” Then Tommy came down the path to tell Mary that George was awake and calling her; and a moment lat­ er Peter appeared. He saw Rich­ard, and hesitated, and Richard said briefly: “Father died about daylight, Pe­ ter.' We’ll bury him here this morn­ ing, and ,pull out this afternoon.” Peter protested: “What’s'the hur­ry?" ‘The natives here killed three white men a couple of days ago. Traders.” Richard looked at Mary warningly. “And ' burned their schooner. That was the smoke we saw. That’s why they’re hiding now. It wouldn’t be safe to lie in the bay overnight.” Peter stared at his brother, and Mary saw his lips white. ' “Killed them?” he whispered hoarsely, and looked ■ quickly around. “Say, are they laying for us?” He swung to­ ward Mary. “Blast it, why didn’t you tell me?" “I’m not afraid of them,” Mary explained. “I never-thought of tell­ ing you.!’ she said: “I must go to George. Don’t tell him about the killing, Peter.” He nodded. At the house, she went in first. She found George in his right mind, his fever gone; but he demanded at once: ; “Who was that boy here, Mary?” “That was Tommy Hanline, my cousin.. Don’t you remember I told you the Venturer is here?" “I don’t remember much of any­ thing. What happened to the-men from the schooner, the men who shot me?” She told him less than the truth. “They took some girls aboard, George, but they’re gone now.”“I tried to stop them, but I wasn’t man enough. Where are the people from the Venturer? Bring them in.” So she called them into the little room where he lay. They seemed to fill it; and George on the bed was- very small. Mary said: “Ibis is Richard Corr, George. And Peter. And my cousin Tommy.” “Glad you've come,” George told them. “We’ve had trouble here.” "We saw no sign of them when we came in,” Richard assented. Mary looked at him gratefully, George asked:“Where’s your uncle, Mary?” “Uncle Tom was killed by a whale months ago, George,” she said. “And Cap’n Corr died last night.1' She looked at Richard. “Richard is Captain of the Ventwrer now.” “I’m sorry!” He spoke apologet­ically. ‘Tm not in shape to play host, I’m afraid; but you’re welcome here. How long can you stay with us?” “Peter and I want to bury my fa­ther ashore here, Mr. McAusland, he said. “I thought I’d—see to that first. This morning.” CHAPTER IX Late that morning Captain Cora’s body, sewed snugly in clean canvas, was brought ashore. Mary went to hear Richard read the funeral serv­ ice, and she thought he was like a small boy floundering through a rec­ itation badly memorized. When the time came to speak to George of departure, Mary told him what they planned but she found in him an unexpected opposition. He was weak enough to be stubborn; and he watched them all with dry burning eyes and said flatly that he would not go. Peter in his persua­ sions was gentle with the hurt man; but Richard, uneasy for his ship, was brisk and stern. Sometimes W Mary went to hear Richard read the funeral service. his tone made anger rise in George’s cheek. “You’ll never be really well here,” Mary pleaded. “I want to get you back to clean, sunny, cold weather. That’s what you need.” He looked past her at Richard, yet he spoke to her. “What changed your mind, Mary?” he asked. “Has Captain Corr here persuaded you?” Mary said: “No, of course not! I think I’m afraid to stay!” “You. can always hide,” he pro­ tested. “And after what happened this time, the people will hide too.” The argument proceeded for so long that Richard became more and more impatient. He broke in at last on their long futility of argument and pleading. “Mr. McAusland,” he said, “this is no place for Mary.” “It’s my place,” George retorted. “I’m needed here;-and Mary’s place is with me, isn’t it?” Richard cried explosively: “Man, they don’t need you! They need to get rid of you!” Mary caught her breath; but be­ fore she could speak George asked sharply: “What do you mean?” “Why, I mean you’ve killed a fair batch of them already,” Richard told him. She cried: “Hush, Richard!” George lifted his thin, veined hand. “Be still, Mary,” he com­ manded. Rage choked him; he be­gan to cough heavily, and could hot speak, and a red stain touched his lips. He wiped it away with his fingers, and muttered apologetically to Mary: “I guess the bullet must haye touched my lungs.” Richard spoke in wrath. “Don’t be blind, man. You’ve got con­sumption. You’ll die of it if you stay here, and so will half the peo­ple on the island.” ‘Richard, don’t! You’re crueL Be still. George, it isn’t true.” “It is true, isn’t it?” George asked, looking up at her. “What Captain Corr says? I can see it must be true.” She said slowly: ‘Tm afraid it is, my dear." He nodded in a broken submis­sion. “Very well,” he said. “Then I’ve failed here. Worse than failed. We’ll have to go.” ARer that surrender, - as though crushed by his own defeat, by the collapse cd his life and hopes, he did not speak. He was passive in their hands. Once the decision to depart was made, Mary had begun to pack their belongings. When the last of the load was borne away down the path, Peter said urgently: “AU right, Mary, come along.” Bhe bade him go. “I—want to say goOd-by alone,” she said. Ja- rambo stood watching. Peter moved grudgingly down the trail. She turned to Jarambo, and sud­ denly she felt like a Uttle girl be­ fore this old man who had been'hei father’s friend and hers. She said to Jarambo: “Keep this house wen, Jarambo.” He assented. “Yes. But better you go.” They moved down the path togeth­er. Jarambo spoke to her, and she turned. He thrust into her hands a Uttle twist of tappy cloth, and he said: “You keep. Belong to you.” She slipped the packet into her waist, and turned and faced Peter.“Come along, Mary,” he said. “It’s late already.” She followed him toward the boat. When she was seated, she looked back and saw Jarambo standing alone where the path Emerged from the trees. She touched the packet inside her dress, wondering what it contained, pressing it with her fingers. She felt in it some smaU, hard, round objects. Several of them. Her heart began to pound. She knew even then, without see­ing them, that they were pearls. The sun was already below the mountains when Peter’s boat with Mary in the stern sheets came alongside the Venturer. George on his stretcher lay on the main hatch amidships, and Mary stopped with him there. Men were at the wind­ lass, and aloR making saU but be­ fore the anchor came aweigh, Rich­ ard picked George up in his arms with a feminine gentleness, and car­ried him like a baby aft and down the companionway. Richard laid George for the pres­ent on the long bench in the com­ mon room. He felt the Venturer an­ swer her sails and turned to go on deck. The sun was gone, night had fallen but there was Ught enough tb see the bold headlands at the mouth of the bay. He took the ship in hand, and Mat Forbes spoke at his elbow. “A white man came aboard just now, Cap’n Corr,” he reported. “He swam off to us in nothing but his pants, with a handkerchief around his head and a parrot hanging to it. Name of Corkran, he says, and calls himself a sailor.” Richard asked sharply: "Was he- off that schooner Uie islanders burned?” “No, he deserted from the Sun­set, the ship that brought Mr. and Mrs. McAusland. He looks scared.” “Scared of what?” “He didn’t say. He doesn’t look like one that’s easy scared, either.” Later Richard met the saUor un­ der the boat house. “Your name’s Corkran?”“Aye, sir.” “Where did you come from?” “Off the ship Sunset.” “Deserted?” “Yes, your honor, sir.” “I’ve no use for deserters.” Corkran nodded respectfully. “Nor I, sir! But I did think himself and the young lady might be needing a good man with his fists some day, on the island, sir. Himself is a good plucked one, but he knows nothing at aU, and such gets themselves into trouble they can’t get out of.” “You weren’t much use to him when he did need you.” “It’s sorry I am, sir. Would your honor be telling me what hap­pened?” “You don’t know?” “I know ’twas bad.” Corkran looked around. “They had me asleep, your honor, sir,” he said in shame. “Drunk?” "I would not say so. I no more than noticed a queer taste to the coconut juice, not bad at all; so I drank it, and fell for a bit of a nap. The next I knew, an old man of them came to see was I still asleep, I was awake enough by that time to pretend to be asleep;' but when a troop "of them went up the frail past my house, I could look with one eye; and after that I sweated cold blood till I got away from that island, sir.” “What did you see?” “Save me " from remembering, your honor. Would your honor bo needing a good harpooner, maybe?” “You’ve served on whalers?” “Aye, sir. Nineteen months. I can earn my way, you’ll find.” Richard nodded. “AU right, Cork- ran. The less talk about that back there, the better. Go forward now.” Richard went below. George still lay on the bench in the common room, Mary beside him; and Rich­ ard said: .“We’ve a friend of yours aboard. Corkran, off the Sunset.” George exclaimed: “Corkran?” Mary looked up at Richard quickly. "Yes. He swam off to us with his parrot on his shoulder.”“Swam off? You mean he was at GUead?”Richard was surprised. “Didn't you know it? He must have kept out of your way.”George looked at Mary, and saw confession in her eyes, and smiled understanding^. “ “You knew it?” “Yes. I was afraid it would both­ er you to know he was there.”“It would have,” he admitted. Peter came down the companion, and Richard said to Mary: “You’U want to give him supper here, I expect.” She nodded, and she stayed with George while Richard and Peter went into the main cabin.

E arly Glass The manufacture of crude glass by the using of sand and soda is supposed to have been accidentally discovered by the Egyptians some 4,600 years ago. Beads and amu­ lets of colored glass have been re­covered from Egyptian tombs that were dug 6,000 years ago. Stained glass was first made in the Ninth century, and the earliest references to stained glass win­dows were found in a document stating that Rheims cathedral was fitted with them some time be­ tween the years 969 and 988. It is thought that the Romans, who were experts in glass making, were the first to use glass in win­ dows. At Pompeii several exam­ples dating back before A. D. 79 have been found.According to Dr. Alexander Sil­ verman of the University of Pitts­burgh, the United States manufac­ tures enough window and plate glass each day to make a ten-lane boulevard (roughly 80 feet) round the world.

MAY 7.1941, FARMERS HAVE MG JOB I IN NATIONAL DEFENSE Washington, D. C.—“Farmers cm take ‘efficient production’ as a watch­ word,” says Chester G. Davis, Com­ missioner in Charge of the Agricul­ tural Division, National Defense Ad* visory Commission, in a recent article in The Fertilizer Review telling what immediate action farmers can take in our national emergency. CHESTER C. DAVIS “Efficient production means apply* ing farming practices that will get the highest yields from the fewest acres. It means lowering production costs and at the same time improving quality and increasing volume,” states Ur. Davis.uIt means exercising far-seeing care In conserving the fertility of the soil by practices which not only prevent waste of fertility but help to restore it” RIGHT FERTILIZER APPLICATION METHODS BOOSTS CROP YIELDS Just as a good cook can take the same raw foods as a poor cook and make it go farther and taste better by using the right utensils and proper methods of preparation, so can I care­ ful farmer make the same amount of plantfood in the soil taste better to the plants and bring a higher return in increased yield by proper applica­tion. Side Application Pays “Although good results are obtained from fertilizer used in customary ways, recent experiments show that better yields can be obtained from the seme amount of fertilizer by improved methods of. application,” says H. B. Smalley, Director of Soil Improvement Work of The National Fertilizer Asso* ciation. For exam ple, recommendations made from experiments conducted in Ohio indicate that side application of fertilizer for corn is very effective when properly done. And oftentimes more fertilizer can be used at a profit when it is properly applied. Without fertilizer a poor yield was obtained and half of that was soft com and nubbins. The plot fertilized with an "Id-type method of application pro­ duced twice as much sound, market­ able com as the unfertilized plot. Bot when the same amount of fertilizer was applied in two bands with die new-type planter the yield was 6 to 8 bushels more per acre than from the old-type. / // /Exciting b the word for BEN AMES WILLIAMS’ New Serial “THE STRUMPET SEA” ★ HtK b i story to vivid «nd real that It will fairly Iiftyou aboard the home- bound whaler, "Venturer" wh«r« thing* art happen­ ing thick and fait Read It in Tlis Paper W3S5SSES=be BUYTHAT WWTAD Sdl “White Elephant*" BayWhatYou Want!

So far as we know, there is but one man stiil alive, who was living in Davie County when this building was erec­ ted in 1836. That gentleman is Noah M. Brock, The Davie Record's oldest subscriber, and who now lives r in Indi­ ana. Mr. Brock will be IOS years old in August, and was toddling around his mother's knees in Farmington town­ ship when this court house was completed in 1837. The old building was torn down a number of years ago over the protest of a number of Mocksville's leading citizens. TKe Lost is Found By Our Want Ad* Whm you low V kWUm They Don't Stay Lott Long MR.

Fertilizer Pirofits Low A ten-year average profit of the fertilizer industry as Teported by fl»e Bureau of Internal Revenue shows a return of only one and five one-hundredth cents, on a dollar of sales wlule 32,000 farmers in a re­ cent survey reported,* return of 13.60 in increased yields for each dollar spent on fertilizer. In the last ten years for which figures are avaflaHe 1929-1938_ total fertilizer profits amounted to one and five-hundredths cents for each dollar of sales, or 94 cents on each ton of $26 fertilizer sold. Figiues just released by the Commissioner of Internal Bevenue on corporation income returns by industries for 1938 shows re­ turns for 874 fertilizer manufac­ turers. Of this number 161 or 43 per cent reported deficits. The average return for 1938 was 3.6 per cent. The S.E.C. reports re­ turns of 16 large chemical com­ panies not engaged in fertilizer manufacture showed a return at 20.6 per cent ' I I L E T U S D O YOUR JOB PRINTING W e c a n s a v e y o u m o n e y o n y o u r ENVELOPES, LETTER HEADS, STATEMENTS, POSTERS, BILL HEADS, PACKET HEADS, Etc.

A three-million dollar proposit­ ion is the proposal to move Brevard college from Transylvania county to Winston-Salem. Half of this would be put into buildings, half into endowments. The Methodist Conference is expected to author­ ize a drive to raise this money when it meets in Winston-Salem this year. A good hortion of it would, of course, be expected from this com. munity. Prospects for the move are be­ lieved to be very good. While no official proposal has been put to the conference, outstanding leaders of the denomination have been ap­ proached, including p ro m in e n t members here. It and when Brevard comes to Winston Salem, it will be changed from a two-year junior college into a full-fledged four-year “A" col­ lege and thus will provide boys and girls of the community with a top-notch education. It will also be greatly eniarged, starting with perhaps 1,000 students with pros­ pects of 1,300 within a few years. It is anticipated that the commun­ ity itself will supply between 300 and 400 day students. Plans for the college have already been drawd by Northup Sc O’Brien of this city, and several sites tor the college considered. The plans call for a campus of around 50 acres and a farm of- 500 or more acres. On the campus would be an admin istration building, a chapel, a gym­ nasium. a student activity building, a power house, an ampitheatre, dor­ mitories, and agricultural building and vhrious auxiliary structures. It is hoped to locate the college as close as possible to the city, per­ haps within a mile. A college of this kind, it is esti­ mated, will bring around $400,000 a year in trade to the community, in addition to other economic be­ nefits. PayroU Boys. President Roosevelt at his press conference the other day undertook to enjoy himself hugely, and only incidentally, of course, to take a dig at Republicans. Asked if Har. ry Hopkins In his new post of ad­ ministrator of the Lend-Lease Act would be a dollar-a-year man, the President replied, “good gracious NO,” or words to that effect. He said Harry was a Democrat. (This was news, for once Hopkins was a registered Socialist.) Mr. Roosevelt with a chuckle re­ counted how several days previous­ ly Defense Production Chief Knud- sen brought him a list of prospec­ tive dollar-a-year men—and they were all Republicans. Knudson said the President explained he could find no Democrats available as dollar-a-year men. The expla­ nation, be asserted, was that only the rich could be dollar-a-year-men and there were no rich Democrats. But it seems to us there is an­ other explanation. There are many rich Democrats, as we all know. Democrats always have seemed to us to be interested in public service only when it meant money to them. They are not interested in dollar-a- year jobs. They want the fat, juicy $10,000 a year jobs. Ever since Andrew Jackson’s day, they have been payroll boys.—Ex. Now And Hereafter. Gften quoted: “AU aid to Brit­ ain short of war.” Hereafter the following sentence may be sorrow­ fully read: “AU aid to Britain and SHORT after the war” may be our predicament —Ex. R E A D T H E A D * Along With the Nww Should We Take Them Over? Congress Doughton hangs on to the notion that the federal govern ment, treinendously burdened with the problem of national defense and all that it involves, should be re­ lieved of the task of paving for public works and some of the cost of work relief. He has been sug­ gesting this policy for a long time, and now is being encouraged by Secretary Morgentbau and other administration leaders. Mr. Doughton would have local governmental units take back the task of financing the cost of the widespread public works improve ment undertaken by the federal government when it was trying to spend its way to national prosperity. However rig h t Representative Doughton may be in his conclusion, he certainly has taken on a big or­ der, for local governments — for all local government will buckle on tbeir fighting clothes and go out to meet this Goliath of the Blue Ridge Mouutains. We have these public works im­ provements because local communi. ties demanded them. That they had to be paid for eventually by taxpayers everywhere was n o t taken into consideration. It was easy money, easily obtained, and our statesmen in Washington were measured by their ability to get it for their constituents. Now that these same statements must also dig up the cash, it is only natural that they should be looking for a way out. But that is not saying that Mr. Doughton is not right. For it is our notion that he is To have to dig down into our notion that be is. To have to dig down into our jeans to pay something we thought was a handout, would bring us all up with a jerk, but it would be good for what ails us. And if we had to pay for wotk relief out of our own individual pockets without depending on Uncle Sam, we’d be a sight more parti­ cular about how. the money was spent; we’d be certain that only the actual needed were provided for and we’d stop breeding a new crop of parasites every foil moon. Then ablebodied men would have to get down to actual work and that in it­ self would become an important factor in national defense. Assuming this burden would just about bankrupt many communities, it would shut off inflation, just as effectively as compelling all of us to invest in government promises to pay.. There is plenty to indicate that the people of this country have gone wild again. We are mortga­ ging a very uncertain future just to get under the steering wheel of a shiny automobile, and tbesilk-shirt craze is just around the corner. If we had to dig down into our pock­ ets to pay for our football stadiums and public bird baths, maybe that would serve to halt the trend.— Statesville Daily. The Pay-Off. Greensboro News.

Farm Parity RatesFixed Secretary Wickard, of the De­ partment of Agriculture, at Wash­ ington, has announced rates of pari­ ty payments to be made to farmers who plant within 1941 AAA acre­ age allotments for cotton, wheat, corn, rice and tobacco. The rates were: Cotton t.38 cents per pound; wheat 10 cents per bnsbel; corn 5 cents per bushel; rice zo cents per hundredweight; flue-cured tobacco 0 .6 cents per pound; cigar filler and cigar binder (not including types 41 and 45 ) 0 7 cents per pound. Tne payments will be made from $212,000,000- appropriated by Con­ gress last year These payments are designed to help boost farm in­ come from the basic crops toward the administration’s goal of parity” or "fair exchange value” for farm products. Lacky Papils. The Shelby Daily Star:— Anson county has been very for. tunate during the present school term. Despite the finding of high­ way patrolmen that their inspection of the 50 county school busses re­ vealed serious mechanical defects in 37 of the machines, Anson had no school bus fatalities. Other counties are also fortunate. If Anson has only 13 school busses out of 50 that are fit to travel the roads-jammed with fast cars and heavy trucks other counties must have a somewhat similar percent­ age. The wonder is that there hasn’t been a greater total of deaths and iujuries. Many of us are lucky to be alive —especially some of the pupils in the schools. Will our farmers plan to live at home or do without some things? « PRINTING » to Ord er at Our PRINT SHOP MOTHER. Rey. Walter E. Isenhour, Hiddenite, N. C. The hands that rocked the cradle - once Are growing feeble now; There’s ’’silver thread among the gold” And furrows on the brow. The rose is fading from the cheek, The glow of youth has passed; The body now is growing weak— Old age has come at last. The feet so fleet in other days. Are feeble, tired and slow; And soon the pulsing tide of life Will cease to ebb and flow. The eyes are growing weak and dim The voice is shattered, too; “I soon shall go,” says Mother dear ‘‘Where life is made anew.” “The silver cord” will soon be loosed, “The golden bowl” will break, And then the spirit back to God Its long return shall take. “I’m going home to die no more,” We often hear her sing; She’ll be with Him forever there, Who is her Lord and King. Let’s make dear Mother’s latter days The brightest days of all; ’Twill not be long until she’ll heed The Master’s final call. Think of the many sleepless nights She watched beside our bed; The many years she toiled for us, The many tears she shed I Remember how she cared for us, Through days and years gone by, And prayed that we might live for God And meet her in the sky. Then may her prayers and toils and sighs Be crowned with rich reward, When we shall meet in Heayan a- bove To live with Christ our Lord. We’ll sing the song of angels there And play on harps of gold; And be forever young and fair, Where none shall e’er grow old. How.happy, then, must mothers be When ioved ones gather round And join the peaceful jubilee, Where joy shall e’er abound. Something Like a Change In Ideas About The War Statesville Landmark. The Chapel Hill Weekly, which us­ ually speaks its mind boldly as well as intelligently, commenting on the fact that shipping of war supplies to Britain has been reduced to the dan- er point, and joining almost every­ body else in looking around for a re­ medy, argues this way: ‘The three methods of doing this, (stopping the sinkings) have been suggested are: (I) to lease more war ships to Britain; (2) to provide out of the United States Navy es­ corts for merchants ships; (3) to ex­ tend the neutral zone to include Ice­ land, to escort merchants ships there with United States warships, and turn the merchant ships over to Bri­ tain for escort through the war zone* This third method would release for us in the war zone a considerable part, of the British fleet now being used on the western side of the At­ lantic. “It is for the experts in nava] strategy to determine the best method of protecting the supplies on the way to the battle front. The ad­ ministration should direct the Navy to devise, and put it to effect straightway, a plan that will carry out the injunction: Deliyerthegoods —now.” . -' BUSINESS Try Onr Ads Seen Along Mau Street By The Street Rambler. 000000 Young man kissing sweetheart and driving sport model Ford at same time—Pretty girl- sitting in lawn chair in front of Davie Fur­ niture Store while talking to ugly man—Ladies looking at display of pretty spring dresses in Sanford's display window —Ralph Ratledge walking around carrying sprinkling hose—Wilburn Stonestreet and J.

Upon his ieturn from recruit leave of absence, Ralph Wesley Carter, of Cooleemee,. was selected for twenty weeks course of instruction in the Metalworkers’ School at the Nava Training Station, Norfolk, Va., and enteted the school last week. He enlisted February 4th through the local Navy Recruiting Station in the Post Office building. The course of instruction includes mathematics, blueprint reading, shop practice, blacksmithing, foun­ dry practice, oxyacetylene welding and cutting, arch welding, copper smithing, sheet-metalwork, general metalsmithing, and boilermaking. Graduates are sent to Navy units where their training is continued and rounded out by practical ex­ perience. It is the practice of the Navy now, to send all men who wish it to some kind of trade school. Draftees Likely To Serve Three Years. A' report from Washington says that army officials are working on a plan to induce thousands of. selective service trainees to remain in uniform voluntarily for two years beyond the compulsory one-year period. The proposal, army men saidi, might involve increasing the total land forces beyond the present goal of 1.418.000 men by mid-1941. Some senators said they had heard unconfirmed reports that the army might seek legislation to keep draf­ tees in training “for the duration of th e emergency.” However, sources in the War Department in­ clined to the view that needed com­ bat strength could be resorting to new draft legislation—perhaps by of­ fering re-enlistment bonuses to the ablest draftees Hope was voiced that a large per­ centage of trainees would like army service sufficiently to continue in kbaki without added’inducement. Oneinducement under considera­ tion was the offering of bonuses, perhaps exceeding the $75 and $150 gratuities now given (soldiers who now ngn up for new "hitches.” Senator Johnson (D). Colorado, member of the military committee, told newsmen he had heard reports originating in army circles that Con­ gress would be asked to declare a complete state of emergency under which conscripts would be held in service until the end of the emer­ gency under which conscripts would be held in service until the end of the emergency. HeLexpressed the opinion that it would be unfair to require more than one yerr’s 'train­ ing of selectees when other eligible registrants bad not been called. Smiator Reynolds (D), N. C., act­ ing committee chairman, said he had heard similar reports of an exten­ sion plan, but added that no deci­ sion was likely until June, THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C.

Back in 1916, we thought of air­planes as primarily useful for ob­ servation, and it was the signal corps, our only flying service, that the then Captain Emmons entered. He adapted himself quickly to the fighting as well as observing uses of planes, became a keen technician in the art of plane development an:? flying, and, in 1920 and 1921 taught flying at Harvard university.

This writer remembers him as a genial evangel of real estate, and a crusader against crime in San Francisco, many years ago. Even in that day he had imposed on a grammar : school education the smoothest I diction in those parts. It was in San Francisco, a most theatrical town, that he moved into the theater. It was in 1917 that he built the Capitol theater in New !York and thereafter his career was a pleasant upbound ride on a gold- plated escalator. Off and on, he has been radio’s best magnet for fan-mail and his “take” has been put down at around $25,000 a week. He started his amateur hour in 1934 and it quickly blazed into a four-eleven conflagra­ tion.

L inen A ssum es Im portant R ole As F abric fo r Sum m er W ardrobes By CHERIE NICHOLAS IN ASSEMBLING Uie new summer I wardrobe, don’t overlook the im­ portance of linen for all-occasion wear. There really is no material that more faithfully holds its own than handsome Irish linen. With women of discriminating taste, fine linen is a tradition, and now, be­ cause of scientific processing, the new linens are rendered practically non-wrinkable.Aside from the practical view, which ranks linen high because of its complete washability, crease- resistancy and adaptability to any type of wearing apparel, style ex­perts are suggesting linen because of the beautiful colors in which it may now be purchased. A trend this season is the com­bining of linen with another fabric. You’ll see many linen dresses with wool coats, lined and collared to match the dress. Ianen also may be combined with silk or rayon prints very effectively. Often a monotone linen coat is lined with the print of a matching frock: In these instances, the linen used is one of the heavier, sturdier weaves, either plain or with selfcplaid woven into the fabric. A fashion highlight this season is the newly styled longer jackets of solid colored linen, worn over bright gingham checks or printed cottons. The attractive ensemble centered in the photograph illustrates the idea. The jacket, of deep green linen, is cut as expertly and fits as suavely as any painstakingly tailored wool. It tops a black, white and green checked dress which follows careful­ly the lines of a classic shirtwaist , frock.The use of linen in two-toned com­ binations is a this-season theme that stresses the popular contrasLcolor vogue. Tw6 shades of Irish linen, a rich tan and a deep green, combine to dramatize the South American in­ fluence shown in the simulated bo­lero of this good-looking dress. This is a fashion designed by Schiaparel­ li for gay young folk. It’s “three cheers for the red- white-and-blue” when the classic shirtwaist dress shown to the left in the group marches along in the fash­ ion parade. The dress is of blue wrinkle-resistant Irish linen. The double blue-and-white collar and cuffs are edged with red rickrack, and the .chic crocheted belt also com­ bines the thrcMgplors. A fashion IaKt' women will wel­ come is the redingote that is styled of linen in handsome dark mono­ tones. This is worn over print frocks very effectively and over line dresses of a contrasting shade. A practical as well as smart item in any wardrobe is the linen suit that is fashioned with the longer jacket. In navy or dark green or toast brown it invites many uses, for the jacket may be worn over casual frocks when not worn with its matching skirt.The young set glories this season in the new line middy blouse fash­ions. As summer advances, dance floors will boast linen’dinner dresses. On beaches, dressmaker bathing suits in linen will take to the water and many play suits and beach dresses of Irish linen will be worn by vacationers.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) D r a m a tic B a g s White-Ground Prints New In Summer Fashion Picture It is the white-ground prints that have the coveted “new” look. The black-on-white combination is espe­cially smart. Wear with these black- and-whites one of the very voguish large Milan hats, carry a patent bag matched with pumps, splash a dash of red or yellow in gloves and your boutonniere—the sum total will be “style.”Blue on white is also new and the prints that pattern red or yellow on white are exceedingly chic. . Dramatic bags, with swank shoes of shiny perforated leather to match, are smart as can be. In the under­ arm bag designed by Jenny which the young modern pictured is carry­ing, shiny black patent leather is cleverly used to form wings of ruf­ fled and perforated patent. This bag is roomy, but compact and is styled with all the “last word” improve­ments. You will’find it the perfect complement for your new tailleur and particularly chic carried with the now-so-voguish black faille jacket suits. By the way, .the topknot that surmounts the pretty head of. the young lady here posing is a very new-fashion chapeau. Newest wrist watches are square, made of pink gold, set with dia­ monds and rubies and fastened with a maroon wrist cord. Handknit Apparel Enjoys Increase in Popularity There is a large demand for hand- knit apparel. Even the machine knits have been brought to such a point of perfection that they have the handknit look. Dresses are so expertly fashioned that they do not miss any of the sjtyling details that give distinction to fabric treat­ ments.Sweaters-and-cardigans: abound in unique trimmings, such as wool yam fringe, dangling tassels, em­broideries and knitted skirts are now made with pleats or gores. Low-Cut Neddines Call For Bra to Match Dress NecMines are on their way down and down, almost to the waistline With this type of dress, comes a bra to match. You can fasten the open point high or low, as you wish. The latest blouses have open-throat col­ lared necklines that may be adjusted at will. Brims Large, Small It's a far cry from the.tiny little flower topknots milliners are pleased to call hats to the wide, wider, wid­ est brims that are forecasted foi wear with summer frocks. A proper­ ly equipped wardrobe of headgear should include both. The cunning flower hats have captured women’s fancy to the extent that they will continue in the picture for a long time to come, but from now on the; must share honors with the stunnihg big pompadour brims, Mexican gaucho felts and the face-framing “covered wagon” types.

BROADENING CHRISTIAN HORL ZONS: SAUL’S CONVERSION LESSON TEXT—Acts 9:1-1«.GOLDEN TEXT—I wss not disobedient unto the heavenly vision.—Acts 26:19. The conversion of Saul is recog­nized as one of the outstanding events in Bible history. When two brilliant English lawyers, Lord Lyt- tleton and Sir Gilbert West, set out to disprove the truth of Christianity, they selected the resurrection of Christ and the story of Paul’s con­ version as the focal points of their proof. .Working independently, they then came together to compare hotes, and found thait -they had both become Christians as they had be­ come convinced of the truth of the Scriptures. The two events may well stand together as mighty evidence for Christianity, for only on the ground of regeneration can the change in Saul be accounted for, and only on the assurance that he met the risen Christ on the Damascus road can we account for his conversion. This is a great lesson, let us make the very most of it. I. Saul, a Bold Persecutor (w. I, 2). As our lesson opens we find the brilliant and zealous young Jew, Saul, “yet breathing out threaten- ings and slaughter against the dis­ ciples of the LoTd." The persecu­ tions in Jerusalem had practically wiped out the church in that city, but had scattered the disciples abroad, and thus the witness had been-spread. The death of the godly Stephen, to which Saul had given his approval, had only increased his determination to destroy those who were “of the way” of Jesus. Looking for new fields to conquer, he car­ ried with him to Damascus letters from the high priest at Jerusalem, giving him authority to imprison the followers of Christ. But on the way he met Christ Himself, and was stricken to the earth. U. Saul, a Convicted Sinner (w. 3-9). Stricken down by a brilliant heav­ enly light, he finds himself talking to the Lord Jesus. He hears from His holy lips the solemn indictment of those who persecute God’s peo­ ple—“Why persecutest thou me?” He who lays unkind hands upon, or brings untrue accusation against, God’s children had best beware, for so closely is our Lord identified with His people that when they suffer, it is He who bears the hurt. In a single sentence the Lord dis­poses of the persecuting • zeal and the sinful skepticism of this proud young Pharisee, and Saul enters into Damascus not as the haughty per­secutor, but as a man trembling and astonished. He spends three .days shut in with his own soul and God, not seeing, hot caring to eat, but entering into communion with God. By God’s grace the old life is pulled up by the roots as it is displaced by the new iife in Christ Jesus. III. Ananias, an Obedient Disci­ ple (w. 10-12). Ananias was the “I am here, Lord” type of Christian to whom the Lord could confidently commit His important business. All we know of him is what is contained in this chapter, but it is a very beautiful and enviable, record. God is able to work directly on any human soul and accomplish His end (as He did with Saul on the Damascus road), but His usual manner of working is through faithful human agencies. One wonders how much would be accomplished for God if every Chris­ tian were as willing and ready as was Ananias to do the Lord’s bid­ ding in seeking out and helping a struggling soul. The greatest of all Christian lead­ers, the apostle Paul, was led out into his life of loyalty and service to Christ by a humble layman. Re­ peatedly God’s Word by precept and example stresses the vital impor­ tance of personal work on the part of laymen and women. The Iead- - ers of Christian work during the com­ ing generation are now in the Sun­day school classes of our churches, perhaps in a little wayside chapel in the country, in the village church, in the mission or settlement house, or in the great city church. IV. Saul, a Chosen Witness (w. 15, 16). The fears of Ananias that Saul might still be a worker of evil (v. 13) were soon overcome by God’s assurance that in the praying Saul He had prepared for Himself “a chosen .vessel” (v. 15) to bear the gospel to the Gentiles and to kings, as well as to Israel. The great witness of Saul was to' be accompanied by, great suffering. How often the two go together, and both may be (as they were in Paul’s life) for God’s glory. Saul knew, nothing of that subtle hypocrisy known as being “a secret believer,” for at once he made open confes­ sion of his faith in baptism, and “straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues that he is the Son of God” (v. 20). t FIRST-AID*1to the AILING HOUSE JL By ROGER B. WHITMAN . , (S) Roger B. Whitman—WNU Service.) Hot Water Supply. QUESTIQN: Would it be advisable to install a coil to heat water in the firebox of my oil burning fur- mace? The burner is of the rotary type. Is such a coil difficult to install, and does it in any way affect the heating of the home? There are 11 in .our family, and we require an abun­dant supply of hot water. Answer: I do not advise putting a water heating coil in the firebox of a furnace, and especially in one with an oil burner. If your heater is hot air, you had better put in a separate pot stove, or Iauniy stove in which the temperature of the water can be controlled. You can get pot stoves that feed coal by a- magazine or by a stoker, which are very satisfactory. It is quite pos­ sible that the" modern type of stor­ age water heater burning gas will serve your purpose. These are eco­ nomical, and if you have not done so, I recommend asking your gas company for figures. Damp Plaster.Question: In damp weather the wall plaster in my old house sweats so that the paper becomes badly stained. Re-sizing and papering the walls does no good. Can we pro­tect the paper by putting thin water­ proofing on the plaster?. Answer: Your house suffers from a trouble that is common to old houses; the placing of the inside plaster against the brick walls. With no air space between, as would be formed by putting the plaster on lath on furring strips, the plaster is chilled by contact with the outside walls, and sweating is the result. The trouble will continue as long as the plaster is colder than the house air. One remedy is to line the walls with stiff insulating board, or. to re-lay the plaster over lath on furring strips. Easing Out Skunks. Question: We have a family of skunks living peacefully under the porch of our house. So far, every­thing is O. K.; but one never knows. I have’ been told that they can be eased out quietly by means of a lib­ eral sprinkling all over the ground with moth flakes. Before using I wish’ to make sure whether or not the flakes are non-inflammable.Answer: The flakes are safe to use. If they were inflammable they would be risky to use in tightly closed containers for the storage of clothing. I have been told by those who know, that skunks have a strong objection to bright tights, and will break up housekeeping if an electric light bulb is hung where it will in­ vade their privacy. Asphalt Paint. Question: Can asphalt roofing be painted with other than asphalt paint? Can I use a lead paint, if the roofing is first covered with shellac? Answer: Because the asphalt ex­pands and contracts more readily than an oil paint, the oil paint is not advisable. This paint would eventually show cracks because of this difference in expansion. Shel­ lac would not help. Use a paint with an asphalt base. Two-Car Garage. t Question: I would be very inter­ested in any information you can give me about building a two-car 20 by 20 foot wood garage in the country-.Answer: You can get a pamphlet on garages from the Southern Pine association at New Orleans, La. This booklet will give you some worth­while information on the construc­ tion of garages.Bathroom Walls. Question: We are installing abasement bathroom. What inexpen­ sive, but practical materials can we use for enclosing -it? Answer: You can use plasterboard on a framework of two by fours. The inside surface must be protect­ ed against dampness, which you can do by covering it with heavy table oil-cloth, or wall-cloth finished with oil paint, hung with casein glue. Xeilowed Ivory. Question: How cap yellow stains be removed from the ivory keys of a piano? Answer: If the yellowing is of long standing, and has gone all the way through, nothing can be done. If it is only on the surface, try the ef­ fect of rubbing with powdered chalk dampened with denatured alcohol; bleaching with peroxide and hydro­gen might also be effective. Presertdng Books.Question: Is it wise to put moth flakes or balls in a fine mahogany bookcase to keep book lice from the books? There are. probably 500 books, and to sun all of them seems like a terrible job.Answer: Yes; use the kind of moth killer; made of paradichloro- benzene. Sprinkle generously around the back of the shelves,'as well as the front. Cleaning Artificial Leather. . Noting; a reference to. cleaning artificial leather,-- a correspondent recommends the removal of dust and dirt by washing with any mild soap and water. Then, after letting it dry thoroughly, “go over it with a soft cloth dipped in egg-white, and let dry. The stickiness will disap­ pear. When egg white, is first ap­plied, it may look bubbly, but this will dry smooth.”Breaking up the egg white by beat­ ing makes it easier to apply. Egg white is also an excellent finish for real leather.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. MAY 14, 1941. THE DAVIE RECORD. C FRiNK STROUD Editor. TELEPHONE Bntered at the Postoffice in Mocks- villa, N. C., as Second-class Mail matter. March 3,1908. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE « 1 0 0 * so We were taught from our youth that one of the meanest things in the world was a South Carolina Democrat. In our opinion now he Isn't any meaner than a fellow who will subsrribe for and read a news paper for two or three years and then refuse to pay for it. The Record doesn't print all the bad things that happen in the town or countv. Once upon a time we tried to get the particulars about every arrest that was made and who got drunk and who didn’t. We gave it up as a bad job. When a poot devil from the rural districts came to town, got on a drunk and was locked up that was news. When a prominent citizen took on a little too much joy water and got in the toils of the law it was a scandal if anything was said about the mat. ter. It all depends on whose ox Is gored. Sometimes it is bard to get the facts in regard to wbat is going on. If The Record publish, ed all it heard, the editor would either land in the hospital, the jail or the cemetery, with a widow and orphans to be looked after by the Federal Aid or some other alphabe­ tical organization. When any of the county officers give ns the facts in regard to arrests aDd convictions, we pablish them together with all cases tried in our criminal courts. It would be unfair for us to tell a. bout “Bill Graball” being jailed for getting drunk on high-powered wine and beer, and failing to men. tion the fact that “John Highflyer’’ took on too much bottled-in-bond Ii quor and landed in the town bastile. We have learned many things dur­ ing tbe past half a century. A Small Vote. Out of a population of about 2,000 people, only 85 of them took en­ ough interest in the welfareof their town to pause a few minutes and cast a vote last Tuesday for a may­ or and five aldermen. It seems that it would be a good idea for the citizens of the town to get to­ gether in a nig mass meeting every two vears and forget politics long enough to select a non-partisan ticket composed of live, progres sive men to run the affairs of our town, The ticket elected last week is composed ot good men who are well known to ail our people. Of course they are all Democrats or New Dealers. The Republicans are not recognized when it comes time to elect a municipal ticket, despite the fact that they pay a big share of the taxes that are collected to run the affairs of the town. Which re­ minds us of the age-old saving, that "taxation without representa­ tion is unjust.” T,he gentlemen elected l ist week received the fol lowing vote: Mayor—T. I Caudell, 80, Hugh Lagle I. Aidermeu—S. M. Call, 83, Craig Foster, 82, W. M. Pennington, 82, Prentice Campbell 82, J. C San­ ford 79 , The Record is always ready and willing to do everything in its power to help build up the town, and for the past 42 years has given much time, woik and free advertising to put Mocksville on the map, and to make it a better town in which to live. We shall continue to co-oper­ ate with tbe newly elected mayor and board of aldermen, and when we can help them in any way all they have to do is to call on us. Mocksville is our town, “ May she ever be right, but right or wrong,” she is our town. Smith Grove Has Good Attendance Record.

Teacher And Stndenls Visit Print Shop. Mn. A. W. Ferea bee, the efficient teach­er at Chestnut Grove school and five of her pupils were visitors at The Record of­fice Wednesday afternoon. The entire school was to have come and seen how we made a newspaper, but on account of the showery afternoon, and due to the fact that most of tbe children had Just been vaccinated for typhoid, they were afraid to come out in tbe rain. The children and teacher were s own just how a news­paper is printed, how tbe type is set, and how job printing is done. They also en­joyed looking over the antiques and the big collection of little shoes that are in our windows. Following the visit to tbe print shop they visited the Hall-Kimbrough Drug Store and enjoyed cold drinks and ice cream with tbe compliments of The Record. We are always glad to have the pupils and teachers visit our office. Mn. Ferabee's school suspended work Friday afternoon for th* summer.

BeH AMEh VHU4AH5 w» h < u . s e r v ic e BqBEN A mes Williams synopsis _ George McAusIand was 38 years old when me sailed from America to undertake his Vueft as a missionary In the Fiji Islands. A crime he had committed in a fit of excite* raent had shattered all his confidence in himself.. He felt forced to avoid pretty Mary Doncasterf who boarded the ship at Hono* lota. She was en route to visit her Mrentsi who were missionaries on Guead Island. Kaiy was attracted by George’s attempts to avoid her. One day George accidentally fell overboard, Mary unhesitatingly dove into the sea to rescue George, who fell in love with her. When the boat approached her Jbome on Gilead Island, they learned that Mary’s parents had both died. George vol* WBteered to take charge of the mission and asked Mary to be his wife. She accepted feis clumsy proposal, and they left the ship to Uve in her former home on the island.scanty dress of the natives shocked George at first, but he soon become recon* efled to their customs. Maiy discovered that Corkran, a sailor friend of George’s, had come there to help George and Mary if pej needed him. Their peaceful life was interrupted one day when a ship stopped in the harbor in search of pearls. They see the pearl divers attacked and their schooner *nnk by a pirate ship. The pirates head their boat toward the bay near their village. George sends Maiy inland for safety and walks down to ,the beach alone and defense* less. Natives carry him back to Marvhours later, shot through the shoulder. Natives killed the pirates that night and set their boat afire. The long-awaited whaler, the Venturer, arrived. MaTy was told that its captain had died, and that his sons, Richard end Peter Corr, were now in charge as cap* and first mate. She liked Richard, but was told by Peter that he publicly laughed at her affection. George was a sick man when the Venturer arrived. George agreed to leave the island when he saw that the epidemic among the natives was caused by ha consumptive condition. A native gave Kaiy a small bag of .pearls as a farewell Dreeeat CHAPTER IX—Continned —10— Later Tommy made the bunk Oeady; and Richard carried George in, and Mary made him comforta­ble for the night. When he slept, she vent to her own quarters. Alone there, beginning to undress, Ae remembered the packet Jaram- bo had given her. She unbuttoned her waist and drew the little bundle cut and opened it. Although she bad been sure what she would find, her heart clutched at her throat when she saw them. In the dim lamp light, the little handful of pearls glowed warmly. She stirred them with her finger, counted them. Fourteen. She stood looking down at them trying to understand. The men who killed Fritz must have looted his schooner before they burned the craft and sank it. Jarambo, in turn, had searched their vessel and found the pearls and kept them. Mary looked at them in a sort of terror; and when a knock sounded lightly w> the door behind her, She turned with a gasp of surprise. The door opened. Peter stood there. He looked past her, saw the pearls! Before she could move to hide them he stepped past her; took some of them in his hands with an exclamation of de­light. He turned to her, his eyes shining. “Where’d you get them?” 1 “Jarambo gave them to me.” I “Where’d he get them?” She remembered Richard’s warn­ ing. “I suppose he found them somewhere.” He said huskily: “Maybe he got them at the island! Maybe there are more! Has anybody seen them?” •Ho.” “Well, don’t show them; to any­ one.” “I won’t,” she promised. She asked, suddenly wondering at his in­ trusion here: “Did George seqd for me?” He shook his head, smiling. "No, I just stopped on my way to bed to make sure you were comfortable.” He touched the packet in her hand. “Better let me lock them up for you.” “I’d rather keep them. I’ll hide Biem somewhere.” He did not urge her; yet he showed no disposition to go. “I’m glad you’re aboard. -Pm a lone wolf on the Venturer, you know. TThe crew is down on me.” He Liinned as he spoke; but she thought he was not amused. “Why?" “Oh, it’s that business about your unde,” he admitted. “They thinkI was afraid. Just because I used my head. I backed our boat clear of the suds so I’d have a chance to pick up the men, and after that they started calling me “Stara all!” He added appealingly: “You know, Mary, I’m still a kid, in spite of this beard! I’m the youngest man aboard except Tommy. I sure need friends.” “Well, you’ve got one now,. Peter. And really, they’re all your friends, Cf course. You’re just sensitive. For Heaven’s sake don’t go. feeling sor- 17! for yourself.” "The devil of it is not having any- cne I can talk to.” “You can talk to me; to George and me.” Shs laughed. “In the morning,” she added. “I want to go to bed now, Peter.” "Right,” he assented, and left the cabin. During the first days aboard the .Venturer, George slept much of the time, while strength crept back into Mm. When he was awake Mary stayed with him, giving him tender­ness and strength from her store of it, and courage and comforting; but when he was asleep and did not need her, she was apt to come on deck. Sbe learned to recognize some of the men in the crew. Some were good sailors, brisk, competent, and cheerful; but others, Richard ad­mitted to Mary, were a poor lot. “We recruited off the beach at Honolulu,” he explained. “Father signed Hurd' there. -1 wouldn’t have taken him; and I don’t let him aft at all. There’s something I don’t like about that man. He grins too much, maybe; and he’s a poor hand to steer, anyway.” She led him to discuss other men aboard; and she watched him, as the days passed, develop into a mature and resolute man before her eyes, guarding his every word, speaking strongly when he gave orders, keep­ing himself a little aloof even from the mates. Peter, she saw, put himself under no such restraint. She thought sometimes he was too friendly with the men. When George was well enough, they brought him on deck. When he was .on deck, Mary was always near him; and Peter spent much time near George’s chair in cheerful talk. But she saw that whoever was with them when Peter approached was apt to move quietly away. And the others aboard treated the mate with scant respect. He spent .more time with George and her than was natural, seeming to turn to them as a refuge and a sanctuary, to escape from the dislike which “Corkran, have yon served on whalers before?” met him elsewhere. She wondered whether it were true that others, like Tommy, blamed him for the tragedy of her uncle’s death. There were questions she wished to ask. She chose to ask them of Corkran, since he presumably could not sus­ pect what was in her mind. One day when Corkran had the wheel, Mary moved George’s chair near the companion to catch the sun be­hind the after house and walked over to the wheel. CHAPTER X “Corkran, have you served on whalers before?” Mary asked.“I have that, ma’am.” ' “Were you a harpooner?” “Aye, ma’am, and I was.” “Does Cap’n Corr know it?” He said with a respect which made her warmly happy: “If there’s any­ thing about any man aboard the Cap’n doesn’t know, ma’am, then the man don’t know it himself. He’s able, that one.” She nodded in content, and she asked Corkran: “Did yoit have some exciting fights?” “Aye, some; but mostly, a whale dies by the book, it. they’re struck right and lanced fair.” “When they get mad and wreck the boat and charge around, yoii can’t do anything but keep out of the way, can you?” ‘Well, an extra iron into him will turn him, like as not,” he said. 'With a fighting whale there’s no knowing, but I’ve seen it come out so.” So, she thought, if Peter had har­pooned that other whale, it might have saved her uncle. Her eyes clouded; and she felt Corkran watching her, but George asked a question that started the man on some new tale, and George listened with intent interest. Mary thought George was better every day. She thought more often, after that,, about the attitude of the others aboard toward Peter. Tommy Ham line was beginning Jto avoid her, as if he liked her in his mind with the mate. One day she made an op­ portunity to talk to Tommy about it. She said: “Tommy, I don’t see much of you lately.”................... “I’m pretty busy.. Got. a lot of work to do.” He added sullenly: “I guess you’ve got plenty of com­pany.” She decided to push the issue. “You mean Peter?” “Sure.” She said gently: “I expect you’re feeling I’ve sort of deserted you for him.” > His voice suddenly was husky. “Well, you’re my cousin,- aren’t you? And even that first night when I came ashore because I couldn’t wait to see you, you just sat and talked to him all the time, didn’t pay any attention to me!"S»s smiled secretly, amused at his boyish jealousy, “Tommy," she suggested, “I know you think Peter 'might have saved Uncle Tom from being killed but don’t people get killed whaling right along? I’m .sure if anyone could have done anything, Peter would-have.” 'He cried: “Oh, all right! You can stand up for him if you want to!” She decided that for her/ own peace of mind she must know in detail how her uncle died. The log was usually on the: desk in the com­mon room. She had never looked at it, but she went to do so now, turning back the pages slowly: Since the Venturer left Gilead, Richard had made the entries and- she thought his handwriting had changed tremendously in the five or six years since he wrote her that harsh note in reply to hers which Peter, with a boy’s malicious cruelty, had given him. She turned back the pages of the log till she came to entries in Richard’s father’s hand, till she found at last the one she sought. It did not make the matter clear. Nevertheless its implications were damning. Captain Corr had written: “Day began fair, wind light and westerly. Sighted bowhead well out from the ice and lowered three boats. The mate, Tom Hanline, got fast; but the whale cut his flukes and smashed the boat, then swept the water. Tom Hanline was hold­ing up Joe Bingham who could not swim. The whale smashed them. Third mate Peter Corr was handy. He picked up the 1 other men. My son Richard came up fast and killed the whale. Cutting in tonight. The bodies were not found. Day ended as it began.” . ___ The words, Mary thought, carried an overtone of deep regret like shame. She put the log away, wishing she had not read it; and during the next few days she tried to " forget this cloud which hung over Peter’s head. Richard counted on. filling their remaining casks among the right whales south of Juhn Fernandez; but before setting his course that way he wished to provision the ship. When Mary looked out of her cabin window next morning, she saw an island close aboard; and after breakfast she brought George on deck to sit with her under the boat house and watch the rugged, lux­ uriantly wooded shore along which they were making. Isaiah joined them. Mary wondered why no ca­noes appeared. “The anchorage is further on,” Isaiah told her. “They’ll be there to meet us, and a pretty covey of girls swimming out to come aboard. I’ve put in here before. The girls are a main fine lot.” George looked at him; and Mary said smilingly: “Such talk, Isaiah! I’m surprised at you!” A little later he nodded toward the bay they were entering. “Here come the canoes to meet us now.” “I see them,” Mary assented. He seemed absorbed in the scene before them; chuckled, said: “Them canoes coming off are loaded down with what we’ll Want. That ’un off t’the looard’s got a live pig in it. Hear him squeal?” The men were aloft busy with the sails; the canoes' laden deep and full of eager islanders came racing near as the Venturer swung to her anchor. George and Mary went aft where Richard was; and Mary saw that Richard was frowning, !cok­ing uneasily at the canoes and the black heads of the girls swimming out to the ship. The men aloft fin­ ished their tasks there and tumbled down to the deck again and lined the rail. Swimming girls, their long hair streaming, came nearer; and the men aboard shouted to them in a robust and gusty welcome. Mary watched, smiling, catching the hap­ py infection of their friendliness; and she turned to speak to Richard, and saw him watching George, and then Richard said suddenly: “Mr. McAusland, I wish you and Mary would go below.” George was looking at the girls, his face stern. He asked: “Why, Cap’n Corr?” “Those girls will be swarming aboard here in another five min­utes.” “Then why need you let them aboard? Keep the girls off the ship. Surely you can hold your men in hand?” Richard shook his head. “Be rea­sonable, Mr. MCAusland. Father al­ ways picked - young men for his ships. They haven’t seen a woman for over four months. You’re young enough yourself to know that a young man misses the sight of a pretty girl. It’s human nature.” George spoke with more restraint than he felt. “H men can’t .con­ trol themselves, shouldn’t they be controlled?” “Ever try to stop rain falling?” Richard challenged. “ These men have to work for me. You know, Mr. McAusland, you can boss a.man. just so far, and you can do it; two ways. I can have a ship full of fights on my hands, fists going all the time, bloody noses, whippings, and maybe killings before we’re done. Or I can have a crew of men who knowl’m: fair and reason­able and try to be the same.” George said, “You’re pretty cold­ blooded.” , ( “My job is my ship.” “You’re responsible for your men, too.” (TO BK CONTINUED* JHtfHtt Q ham oeM . 6 . .. JUST LIKE MOTHER USED TO MAKE!(See Recipes Below) IT WAS WONDERFUL FOOD! Remember flying home, pigtails thumping, to smell supper, and guess? Remember being saucer­ eyed as mother's marble cake took a blue ribbon at the fair? And re­member licking the last bit of sweet­ ness from the frosting platter? I know you must remember. How could you forget? It was wonderful food! ..And it’s to the best cooks in the world — our mothers — that this week’s column is dedicated. When you pay them homage on Mother’s day, 1941, perhaps you’ll enjoy us­ ing some of the/following recipes, favorites of the long ago. In those days, to be caught with­out plenty of food,, and good food, too, for all com­ ers was to show oneself a poor housekeeper, a bad hand in the kitchen. But times havechanged. A large “crock” of but­ter, a “basket” of eggs, and a “Wedge” of cheese are no longer a part of the regular supplies on the shelf in the vegeta­ ble cellar. Nor are recipes penciled on the fly-leaf of the family ledger. But the basic goodness is still the same. So, whether it be crusty brown doughnuts, chicken pie and jelly roll, huge, fluffy cakes, or rich chocolate pie, let’s take mother back, down memory lane! Lovely to look at and utterly de­ lightful to eat is the Sour Cream Devil’s Food Cake, which I’m sure was a favorite of grandmother’s. Sour Cream Devil’s Food Cake. 2 cups sifted cake flour I teaspoon soda % teaspoon salt Vs cup butter or other shortening IVt cups sugar I egg, unbeaten 3 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted I teaspoon vanilla Vt cup thick sour cream %• cup sweet milk Sift flour once, measure, add soda and salt, and sift together three times. Cream butter thoroughly, add sugar gradually, and cream to­ gether well. Add egg and beat very thoroughly; then chocolate and va­ nilla, and blend. Add about one- fourth of the flour and beat well; then add sour cream and beat thor­oughly. Add remaining flour, alter­ nately with milk, a small amount at a time, beating after each addition .until smooth. Turn into two greased 9-inch layer pans and bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees F.) 30 minutes, or until done. Spread Felicity Frosting on top and sides of cake. Top with glossy LYNN SAYS: In an old book of household ad­ vice, written in 1879, are some words of wisdom “to help home­ makers.” I’m passing them on to you “for what they’re worth” in the' modern, up-to-date home. “Use a clam shell to scrape skillets or saucepans; to scour your iron pots and griddles, use wood ashes. “Sweeping a carpet with new fallen snow will make it look very bright and fresh. Also, it is a good plan to save tea leaves, and, with them not too moist, sweep a ' dark carpet.- This is not advised for light colors. “Woodwork may be dusted with a long-feathered wing, preferably that of a turkey.“For washing fine clothes, use a pounder—not a large, old-fash­ ioned affair, but one about twice as large as a potato masher, and pound your clothes as . they soak in sal-soda water. The rubbing on a board will then be very easy. Use a-clothes wringer if you can possibly get one.“Never buy ground coffee. Take whole berries and . heat; grind while hot. “All housewives should be well adversed in cookery, and should know how to make good dishes, such'as ‘Jenny Lind Cake,’ ‘Pars­nip Pie,’ ‘Marrow Dumplings’ and ‘Flannel Pancakes.’ ” THIS WEEK’S MENU Menu For a Mother-Daughter Banquet (For not-too-large a group) Strawberry and Pineapple Cup Roast Chicken Giblet Gravy Bread Filling Fresh Asparagus Fruit Salad Ice Cream Cookies Coffee Milk chocolate coating, made by com­bining I square unsweetened choco­ late, melted, Va cup sugar, and Vt cup water.

Felicity Frosting. 2 egg whites, unbeaten . 2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed Dash of salt 7 tablespoons water Combine egg whites, sugar, salt and water in top of double boiler, beating with rotary egg beater un­ til thoroughly mixed. Place over rapidly boiling water, beat constant­ ly with rotary egg beater, and cook 7 minutes, or until frosting will stand in peaks. Remove from fire, but allow to remain over hot wa­ ter, and beat 2 minutes longer. Place over cold water and continue beating 3 minutes. Makes enough frosting to cover top and sides of two 9-inch layers.* * * Just like mother used to make.That’s what you’ll say when you taste the delicious cookies, made by the directions giv­ en below. When mother baked cookies she made them rich with butter and usual­ ly full of fruit, like:Fig Oaties. IBoil 5 minutes in water to cover: Vk cups dried figs Drain, clip stems and cut figs into thin strips (scissors are handy). Cream together: 1 cup butter 2 cups beet or cane sugar Add: 3 eggs, beaten Blend well, then add liquids: Vt cup milk I teaspoon vanilla Sift together and add: 1;. IVt cups sifted all-purpose flour Vt teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder Add: Figs 5 cups quick-cooking oats Stir until well blended, then drop by small spoonfuls onto greased cooky sheet and flatten slightly. Bake in moderately hot oven, 400 degrees F., for 13 to 15 minutes. Press a nut meat, strips of fig or cherry into tops before baking if desired.. For a glazed top, brush with. hot honey after baking and place under broiler for a minute or two. Makes 5% dozen medium-sized cookies.» * * . Do you recall the old cracker bar­rel? It was a necessity in days gone by when homemakers often made their own crackers, and even their own baking powder and bread start­er. Thinkhig that perhaps in your spare moments you might like to try your hand at cracker making, I’m including a recipe. Crackers Made With Yeast. % package granular yeast I pint warm water 1% quarts flour I tablespoon salt Vt cup sour milk % cup shortening I teaspoon soda Set sponge of . yeast, water and flour at night. In the morning add the .othec ingredi­ ents and flour to stiffen very stiff.Pound with roll­ing pin. Fold over and pound again..Continue until the dough is smooth. Place .on a lightly floured board and roll in a thin sheet. Cut in squares and punch holes on top with a fork. Place in ungreased pans and bake in a 400-degree F. oven. These are inexpensive and very good! (Released by Westem Newspaper Union.) tZ 5 * Y * rY ‘ W E U M MtCruel Experience Housewife—Have you been of­ fered work?Tramp—Only once, mum.

Bright Hopes • Private Smith was brought be­fore his commanding, officer and charged with being disorderly in the canteen the previous night. . “Now, Smith,” said the C. O., “this is the tenth time you have appeared before me on this charge. What have you to say?” “Well, sir,” said Smith, “I hope our acquaintance. will ripen into friendship.” CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT EDUCATIONAL ART TRAINING you can use.

The so-called Patagonian area consti­ tutes, the tail: of the South Ameri­can continent. Long contested be­ tween Chile and Argentina, this area was finally divided between those countries in 1881, and its permanent boundaries were set in 1902. The Argentine section lies roughly east of the Andes and south of the great central plains. It includes the three continental ter­ritories of Rio Negro, Chubut, and Santa Cruz, and is some 259,000 square miles in area. According to some authorities, the name Patagonia, which means “Land of the Big Feet,” was given the area by . early explorers who were amazed at the size of foot­prints (of aboriginal Indians) found there.

C.. MAY 14.1941, Boys in Sports Any athlete will be "thrown for a lois” if he poison* himself with beer, wine or whisky, in foe opinion of outstanding coaches. As the late Lord Baden-Powell, Boy Scout founder, wrote: . . !foe old saying that 'strong drink makes men weak* is s very true one.” Players and coaches would "amen” to that, as they did In foe following statements In a W.C.T.U. survey: Red Grange: “You cannot smoke and drink and ex­ pect to succeed as an athlete/' BUl Tilden: “It is certain injury to touch alcoholic drink In any form . . . it is a poison that affects mind,eye, and wind/' Helen WUls Moody: “The preci­ sion that tennis demands makes nec­ essary total abstinence, even from beer ...” Connie Mack, foe grand old man of basebaU: "AU the umpires together have not put as many men out of foe game as old man booze.” Pop Warner: “Abstainers are bet­ter athletes than even moderate drinkers.” Alonzo Stagg, grand old man of footbaU: “A drinking man has not clear sight, and the athlete has got to have it; a drinking man has not fuU capacity in nerves, and the ath­ lete has got to have it because he calls upon every particle of the stuff that is in him to produce in the particular sport he is in.” Fielding Yost:“I have never ob­ served any good from foe use of It. I would not waste my time trying to train or develop one who uses it. A boy or young man who drinks does not give himself n fair chance.” , Lloyd Jordan, Amherst College: “Alcohol is the deadliest enemy of perfect coordination, judgment and aU-around efficiency.” In other words, foe boys who use their heads don’t pour a poison into their systems. BOOTLEGGERS Introducing an editorial listing foe bribery and bootlegging now exist­ ing in wet states, foe Jackson, Miss., Clarion wrote: “Come 1 9 close, an you poor, deluded, Intelligent, re­spectable people who have had dust thrown in your eyes by foe liquor interests to such an extent that yon are deaf to the truth and blind to foe facts.” A Million Drunks! “A MiHioa . Americans like facts and her* are two which should be of importance !to every one who ever took a drink. ; There are at least 200,000 chronic ,alcoholics in the United States to­ day, plus one million or more per­ sons who . . . are in danger of be­ coming chronic alcoholics, accord­ing to Dr. Lawrence Kolb, assistant !surgeon general of the United States PubUc Health Service.Qf 10 persons who drink, even "so­ cially”, three will become drunkards and the seven will show foe "ef­ fects” in their bodies sometime, according to the late, famed Dr. Charles Mayo. Surest, fool­ proof test to de­termine whether you are an al­coholic, accord­ ing to the KeeIey Institute, is to i*sk yourself: “Can I take it or leave it alone?” The catch is that you not only have to be honest in your an­swer but then you have to prove it by “leaving it alone.” The drinker who says he never gets drunk, who says “I could, quit tomorrow if I ,wanted to” but whose nerves go to !pieces when not anesthetized by al­cohol, is an alcoholic and a medical case. Alcoholism, growing by leaps and bounds since repeal according to the !nation’s mental hospitals, is just one of the effects of beer, wine and 'spirits which causes foe W.C.T.U. land o th er re­ligious and tem­ perance groups 4o say: "Stop these effects by turning off the fau c et of the Uquor supply.”' RelegaUzation has made Uquor easily accessible to all Americans "CorrectLebelta*" with every form of high-pressure merchandising being used to in­ crease consumption—in other words to make more non-drinkers into drinkers. The reverse could also be true, social workers say, and all foe hu­ man and economic costs of liquor be reduced by making it more diffi­cult to secure.

I *I I I Fertilizer Economies Save Farmers More Than $200,000,000 A Year Survey Shows $S.60 For Eaeh DoUar Spent For Fertilizeri Washington, D. C.—Lower prices for fertilizers due to industry econo­ mies have saved farmers $200,000,000 a year, acording to government analy­ sis made by A. L. Mehring of the U. S. Department of Agriculture who shows that the sharp downward trend of fer­ tilizer prices since 1880 was inter­ rupted only during the period of the last war; when, due to our country’s dependence at that time on foreign supplies, prices rose sharply. After that they again resumed their down­ward trend. At the same time the industry made foe nation self-suffi­ cient and no longer largely dependent upon foreign sources of supply. - "Prices dropped sharply during the depression and have never recovered to the extent that other commodities have. As a result of this fact, fer­ tilizer prices today give the farmer real parity for his dollar,” says Charles J. Brand, Executive Secretary and Treasurer of The National Fertil­ izer Association. "Prices received by farmers for their products today would have to go up 21 per cent to reach parity with what, formers pay for all commodities which they buy. But, so far as fertilizer is concerned, the picture is different. The present price of fertilizer is so low that it gives foe farmer, instead of a 21 per cent handicap, a 5 per cent advantage on every dollar he spends for fertil­ izer.”Betums from a recent survey of 32,000 farmers show that an invest­ ment in low-priced fertilizers yields high returns. An average of $3.60 returned for each $1.00 which ** spent for fertilizer.

ToIeraoce Needed. ' One of the most disquieting de. velooments of the day in this coun­ try is the rapidly spreading attitude of intolerance toward those who would question the Administration’s foreign policy or challenge the ne­ cessity of this eonntry entering the World War II. Particularly disturbing is the fact that President Roosevelt has placed the great influence and prestige of his office behind this movement to stifle free expression of opinion. It is Mr. Roosevelt who has conssant- Iv told us that we are in a 'great struggle to save democracy. Yet by his recent tactics he would un­ dermine the very foundation stone of democrecy—freedom of expres­ sion. The President’s comparison of Charles Lindbergh to the Tories of the Revolutionary War and the Copperheads of the Civil War is a case in point. No matter what any­ one may think of Lindbergh’s views, he has a right to express them without being characterized by the President, In effect, as a traitor. This country is not yet at war. Lindbergh or anyone else, has a right to urge that it remain out of the war—to make whatever solemn, logicalor silly argument they wish in that regard. It is not only the Lindbergh in­ cident. President Roosevelt has made Senator Burton K. Wheeler, outspoken opponent of American involvement, his special whipping boy. Now he deprives Hugh John, son, columnist and critic of our for. eign policy, of a reserve commiss- sion as brigadier general which he has possessed for 20 years. Such tactics are up ^American. They are undemocratic. They smack of the Hitlerism which has aroused the worln. Let us not lose freedom at home while attempting tn defend it nbroad. Workers Are UnqaaIi- fied. Washington — Representative En* gel (R-Mich charged that the total cost of constructing Camp Edwards, Mass, would be in excess of $29,- 000.000, or more than four times the War Department’s original esti­ mate. One carpenter foreman on the job, Engel said he was told, was a lob- ster fisherman whose crew included a bond salesman, an insurance man, a meat cutter, a gas station attend­ ant, three laborers who were not carpenter and one rough carpenter.' The Michigan representative, who served as a captain with the A. E. F. during the World War. has been carrying on an informal one*man in­ vestigation of cantonment construc­ tion costs. He reported his finding on the Massachusetts camp in an ad dresB prepared for delivery in the House. The War Department’s original estimate for Cape Code, was $7 240. 462. Engel said, and provided for housing and caring for 26.762 officers and men. “The present camp,”-he continued provided for 33,660 officers and men or an!increase of ,'approximately 6,000 men. WhiIetheeampcapaciQr was increased 2 2-per ^ent., the cost in­ creased 300 per cent.” Ijames X Roads News.

Itshould be the sincere desire of every person to lift himself up, not in pride and haughtiness, but in righteousness, usefulness and into real success. This can only be done by helping to lift others. This is a positive fact, and ie is life’s better way. No man ever gains righteously, nor makes of his life a great and grand success, who pulls, and seeks to pull, others down. You may burn a building to ashes, or tear it away, and then build a far greater and better structure on the same site, but no man can pull down the life of another and build upon his wreckage a great, noble, righteous successful life. This is not accord, ing to God’s wav for us, nor ac­ cording to reason. God’s plan and wav foi our lives is to build others up in order to build ourselves up; to lift others if we would Uft ourselves. This is done by praying for men; by giv­ ing to them a helping hand; by seeking to lead them to Christ and the higher, better things oi life; by encouraging them; by setting be­ fore them the right examples, and by leading them upward and heav. enward. One reason that so many people are down in life, and don’t seem able to rise, is because they are al. ways keeping somebody else down. They keep them down in drunken­ ness; keep them down by their bad examples; keep them down by lead­ ing them wrong; keep them down by their profanity, falsehood and adultrous influence. They keep their fellows down morally and spiritually, and oftentimes finan­ cially, hence the reason they are never able to rise. If you pull another down it is an eyldent fact that you sink lower than he. We fail beneath the thing Me pull down. This is especially true in the moral and spiritual realm, You may not be a drunk­ ard, but if you, by your vote and influence make others drunkards, I believe in the sight of God you are more guilty. In the estima­ tion of men you may stand much higher than those whom you have pulled down, but in the sight of God I believe you stand lower.

President Roosevelt made two appoiptments that have greatly lessened the little confidence that is felt in his ability to handle the emergency that has been developed by World War No. 2. His hand* ling of the strike situation bas ere' eted a distrust even among his sup' porters, and these appointments, it is hoped, have opened the eyes of his most ardent followers. Clayton Etcher, who knows noth­ ing about business, was appointed chairman of the Securities and Ex. change Commission,- and Harry Hopkin's, whose handling of tne WPA was such that he had to re tire under fire of protest, was ap. pointed to the important post - of Purchasing and Acquisition of Bri­ tish supplies.—Exchange.

He may have been half right, no man can tell. But certainly he was half wrong. Force is a variable, an unpredict­ able variable; but Hitier is an auth. ority on the subject; he may not be made to yield by force. Time, however, is not a variable; man’s perception of it is capable of flux, but Time itself, the epitome of change is itself unalterable. The mighty become odure; Time does that. Empires crumble into dust; Time does that, AdolfHitler, at the zenith of bis earthly power, is as incompetent to add unto or take away from that as is the mean­ est slave in his blitzkrieg legions, as is the most gifted scientist or man of letters in one of his concen. tration camps. The paths of infamy as well as the paths of glory lead to the grave, in that inescapable march we all walk side by side. Most of us know it. We strug­ gle through the years each urged to dignity and to efforts for worth- ;ss by some mysterious inward aspiration. We contemplate the certainty of eventual death with a stoic detach­ ment, striving, each in bis own way, to invest our lives with the virtues which confort us against the mys­ tery ultimate physical dissolution. Not, so Hitler. As a celebrated orator once said of Napoleon, the Nazi Dictor is wrapped in the solitude of his own originality. H is lonely as only men who have debased their own humanity can be lonely. He is crazed even to mad chal­ lenge of Time itself. Poor deluded fool. Poor perverted genius. Poor worms’ meat. His conquest of Poland will not delay the crumbling of his bones; his rape of the Slovene regions will not sustain him against the decom­ position oi bis vital organs. Tbe time he defies will make a mockery of bis betrayal of France; tortured England will rise again with the help ot the same Time which will strike down. Against that hour he has made no plans. Other men try to guide their their lives toward eternal salvation; Hitler has no hope ot heaven, no hope for peace on earth or in hell. Millions of men will strive in. creasingly in days to come to prove that Hitler is mistaken in think­ ing force will not make him yield, or break blm. That issue is on the laps of the gods. But no effort of man is needed to prove Hitler wrong in his shallow boast that Time will not’ conquer him, for Time works alone—Time will defeat him, Time will break him, Time will rot him. The earthly time of man, like the life of the tumbiebug, the tom-tit, or the duck-billed platypus, is a complex and mysterous cycle, a. bout which he knows little certain­ ty; in it there are enough of possi­ bilities to forbid us complete de. nlal of any man’s claims or course of decision from time to time. But when a mortal presumes to deny his own puny helplessness in in his fated contest against Time, then we may know him to be. so stupid a fool that we may look upon any boast of his at the contention of an incompetent.—Salisbury Post. A Tmthful Senator. I have only a casual acquaint ance with Madam Perkins. She is an estimable lady, no doubt, and does the best she can within the limits Of her capacity and tndina. tions. As a strike settler, however, she has proven to be a complete wash out, and her record Is one with only barren results. What, ever usefulness Madam Perkins ever had now is overshadowed by her complete ineptness, weakness, and inability to meet her tesponsi bllities in the settlement of strikes. —Sen. Harrv F.

If she will not resign voluntarily as Secre­ tary of Labor, then her resignation should be requested in language that will admit of possible misconstruc­ tion. It has been apparant for years that Miss Perkins was not a popular mem­ ber of the cabinet. It has long, been doubted in many quarters that she was even a moderately efScial. She has drawn more criticism on the Roosevelt Administration than any other member of the President's of* ficial family. Mr. Roosevelt’s reluctance to dis* miss her is understandable. He has a deep sense of Ioyalty tu those who serve under him. He maintained Secretary Swanson in his cabinet long after the Secretary of the Navy became too old and too sick to fune* tion with passable efficiency. But the times are entirely too peri* Ious for the President to the nation’s detriment. The sensibility of a ca­ binet member should not be exalted above the country’s best interests.

S e r v ic eBiiBeh A mes Wiluams synopsis ; George McAusIand was 38 years old when he sailed from America to undertake his post as a missionary In the Fiji Islands. A crime he had committed in a fit of excite­ment had shattered all his confidence in himself. He felt forced to avoid pretty Mary Doncaster, who boarded the ship at Hono­lulu. She was en route to visit her parents, who were missionaries on Gilead Island. Mary was attracted by George’s attempts to avoid her. One day George accidentally fell overboard. Mary unhesitatingly dove into toe sea to rescue George, who fell In love with her. When the boat approached her home on Gilead Island, they learned that Mary4S parents had both died. George vol­unteered to take charge of the mission and asked Mary to be his wife. She accepted his clumsy proposal, and they left the ship to live in her former home on toe island. The scanty dress of the natives shocked George at first, but he soon become recon­ciled to their customs. Mary discovered that Corkran, a sailor friend of George’s, had come there to help George and Mary if Key needed him.' Their peaceful life was terrupted one day when a ship stopped In toe harbor in search of pearls. They see toe pearl divers attacked and their schooner sunk by a pirate ship. The pirates head their boat toward toe bay near their village. George sends Mary inland for safety and walks down to the beach alone and defense­less. Natives carry Him back to Mary hours later, shot through the shoulder. Natives killed the pirates that night and set their boat afire. The long-awaited whaler, the Venturer, arrived. Mary was told that its captain had died, and that his sons, Richard and Peter Coir, were now in charge as cap­tain and first mate. She liked Richard, but was told by Petor that he publicly laughed at her affection. George was a sick man when the Venturer arrived. George agreed to leave the island when he saw that the epidemic among the natives was caused by his consumptive condition. A native gave Mary a small bag of pearls as a farewellfresent The attitude of toe crew toward eter bothered Mary, so she decided to find out if he was really responsible for the death of a seaman who bad been killed while whaling. CHAPTER X—Continued —11— Richard said grimly; “I’ve no­ticed a lot of trouble made, more than once, by trying to be responsi­ble for other people’s business.” “Do you seriously mean to bribe your men to obedience by turning them loose like wolves on these help­ less girls?” George’s eyes were hot. “Playing on their weaknesses, just as you played on my weakness at Gilead, told me I was killing the islanders in order to make me come away.” Richard said after a moment qui­ etly: “Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I’d best have let you stay.” He hesi­ tated, said at last curtly: “Mr. Mc- Ausland, do as you like; but I’ll have to run the ship my way." He turned away. Peter had joined them in time to hear the last word. “Dick takes his job too hard. He’s all blown up with it!” Mary ignored him, urged: “Per­ haps Richard’s right, George. And even if he isn’t, he must do as he thinks wisest. Come down to the cabin with me.” But George declined to do so. “I’ll not shut my eyes,” he said. “Pm not a coward.” So they stayed on deck that day while the work of provisioning the ship went forward. They could not be ready to de­part that afternoon; and the boats stayed. ashore well into the night. Next morning they made to sea. Mary hoped that once they were away George would forget his anger at Richard; but he did not, and for days after they left the island, the few minutes they all spent together at the table were made awkward by her husband’s wrathful silence, and by Richard’s defensive dignity. The stop for provisions had al­ tered not only the humor of the crew but the very appearance of the Venturer. They had taken on tremendous quantities of fresh fruits. A huge cask lashed to the port rail was full of green coco­nuts. Bunches of bananas hung un­ der the boat house and wherever else room could be found. The po­ tato room where Tommy Hanline slept was so full of yams and plan­tains and breadfruit that Tommy had to crawl over them to reach his bunk. - Another change took place in the routine aboard after they left the island. George remembered his call­ ing, and with the air of one expect­ ing a refusal, asked Richard’s per­ mission to hold a Sunday morning service on deck. Richard consent­ed, and the thing was done. Maiy suspected that Corkran was respon­sible for the quiet and respectful demeanor of the men when they as­sembled; but when George began to speak, he held them. George, facing an audience, had a spiritual authority and dignity that were fine to see. She realized, while'she lis­ tened, that her attitude toward her husband had always been protec­ tive; her tenderness a little conde­scending. She told him afterward how proud she- was, and Richard also spoke to George gratefully and appreciative­ ly. She hoped the constraint be­tween them would be forgotten. But George did not relent at all; and matters were still thus tight'and strained in the cabin, on the day when at last they sighted a whale. A whaler may kill and save in the course of a voyage two or three dozen whales; and she may kill oth­ers and lose them by sinking or in a sudden gale. Most Cf her captures are routine; but now and then a whale makes trouble. What hap­ pened to the Venturer today was one of those extraordinary and isolated phenomena which become legends; and it would take its place in whal­ing lore. One of the sailors aloft, a New Bedford man named Gibbons, called down to the after deck: “Sparm whale on the port quar­ ter,. sir, about two miles off," There was at that a quick and instant stir upon the Venturer. Mat Forbes at a word from Richard ran halfway up the mizzen ratlines and shouted to the men aloft to make haste with the topgallant sails. Rich­ ard came to the port rail to look off across the leaden sea. Mat Forbes spoke quietly to Richard on the deck below him. “Sharks at him, Cap’n Corr.” Richard nodded. “All right Clear boats and stand by to lower.” Feet moved along the deck to obey. Mat Forbes, descending to the deck, said quietly: “Whale’s moving this way, sir.” Richard looked at the weather to the westward. He watched the work, watching tlje Venturer come to and fall off lazily. The whale drew nearer and even from the decks they could see now his efforts to beat off his attackers. He surged to and fro, flukes now and then rising ponderously and as the fight came steadily nearer them, they could hear the thrash of the flukes, the sigh of the spout, the broken water when he drove - this way and that. Peter, standing with George and Mary although his men were ready by his boat yonder, moved restlessly. “There’s something wrong with him,” he muttered;, “or he’d have driven them off by now. Might be he’s hurt or sick or something. May­ be he’s got an iron in him.” He licked his lips in a nervous tremor. Richard said just behind them: !‘Weather coming, Peter but we’ll m . “Sock him, Pip!” try for him anyway. Ready to low­er?” The Venturer, counter-braced, still made a little way. He called to Mat: “Back the cro-jack yard, Mr. Forbes.” The men leaped at Mat’s com­ mand.“Dick, he’s a crooked jaw,” Pe­ ter exclaimed. “He’s ugly. He’ll be a fighter; and if he busts a boat, the water’s full of sharks.” His voice cracked as he spoke, and Richard looked at him briefly. “Mr. Forbes and I will lower,” he decided then. “You keep ship, Pe­ ter,”Peter cried sharply: “He’ll bump us, the way he’s headed!” The Venturer was almost motion­ less, the whale now close aboard. Mary had been watching Peter, sick and ashamed at what she saw; but at his word she turned to look and saw the whale, close now, rolling blindly on its back to bite; and she saw the thrashing body of a great shark caught in its jaws and cut in two. She cried out in awe and ter­ ror at the sight. CHAPTER XI The .whale righted itself and came quartering toward their bow in a sudden rush. Richard leaped for­ ward into the waist as though with his own hands to fend the creature off; and an instant later it shoul­ dered against the Venturer’s side. Mary, looking down, saw the great blade bulk in the water, and the slender gray shapes of the sharks in* attendance. George clung hard be­ side her, and Peter gasped: “Godfrey, Dick! He’ll sink us!” Richard ran aft toward where his boat hung. The whale drew off, cir­cling slowly, lifting his head as though in an effort to locate the ship for a new attack. Richard called briskly: “Lower away, Mr. ForbestsPeter, get the Brand gun. Sock a bomb into him if he comes near the ship again.” - . s His boat struck the water with a smooth precision. The boats were carried to port, Richard’s farthest aft, Mat’s forward.Mary felt young Tommy Hanline hanging to her arm, his small hands tight as a tourniquet Mat’s boat hit the water; but Richard had al­ready darted away from the'Ven­ turer’s side, the long oars bending as the men put into them every ounce of strength. Mary thought for a mo­ ment the boat would meet the whale head on; and she heard a voice scream a warning, and knew it was her own. Then she saw Richard swing the steering oar in a great sweep, and the whaleboat swerved on a pivot to let the whale slide by; and instant­ ly it darted in again till she thought Rie bow would ride up on that huge body just awash. Richard’s great voice was like a trumpet. “Sock him, Pip!” She saw Big Pip, knee braced in the clumsy cleat,-the heavy harpoon poised, drive it in and down; and instantly, before the boat veered off again, he sank the second iron. - Big Pip swept the loose coils of the box warp overboard. He and Rich­ard changed places, scrambling over the oarsmen, who bent low over the thwarts to let them pass. By the time Ridiard was in the bow and Big Pip at the steering oar, the whale saw the boat riding there, and lunged toward them; and the men swung hard on the oars, and Big Pip dodged out of the whale’s path and in again. Mary saw Rich­ ard drive home the lance, deep into that black side. -Mary-saw only a smother of con­fusion, action too swift to follow; but the men on the Venturer and in Mat Forbes’ boat, watching more wisely, knowing without seeing what went on in Uiat fury of torn water, saw that Richard was as wild with the heat of battle now as was the whale. For after a desperate minute or two of this in-and-out fighting, he closed with his antagonist. Under his strong commands, the men hauled in on the line till the boat was close against the whale’s side. Richard-reached far over the bow to grip the line and draw Uie boat further forward along the whale’s body, and while close alongside, Richard drove the lance deep and deep again, searching for that huge reservoir in which the whale stores fresh blood for his long stays under water and which whalemen call the “life.” The whale could not bite them, nor could its flukes strike the boat. - But if it rolled toward them, they must be crushed under its body and left helpless in the water. Big Pip bawled: “Ware roll, Cap’n!” Richard, braced and firm, as much a part of the boat as though he were nailed to it, drove his lance again. Tommy screamed: “There he rolls!” But the whale rolled away from the boat, not- toward it; and in so doing, its under parts were for a mo­ment exposed. The whale rolled over and over in a smother away from them; and suddenly its flukes lifted high and then it was gone, and the tossed water began to quiet where it had disappeared. “Sounded!” Tommy cried. Mary could see Uie line now snak­ ing out over the bow of the whale­ boat, the bow sagging downward and then rising with a jerk as Joe Sassnet kept a strain on the line around the loggerhead, yielding only when he must. Richard in the bow was leaning forward to look straight down into the water, lance in hand. The bow of Richard’s boat rose suddenly as the strain upon the line was eased. “Haul hard!” Big Pip shouted. Sassnet took line hand over hand. Richard spoke over his shoul­der, not turning his head, watching the water under them. “Ready oars!” he said crisply. Then men poised. Suddenly he cried: “Stam all! Hard astern!” The oars bent like bows; the boat darted backward like a squid. Then for a moment from where Mary stood on the Venturer’s deck, boat and men were alike blotted out of sight, hidden behind a vast black column with a blunt end which rose ponderously out of the water, the white mouth gleaming, the bent jaw opening and closing in a vicious fu­ tility.That black mass that was the whale’s head rose and rose, slow and slower till it was above the level of the Venturer’s decks, till Mary thought it would never stop ascend­ing. It . seemed to poise and hang for a moment, and then ponderous­ly toppled forward, parting the wa­ ter like a plow; and she saw the boat safe, secure, beyond the flukes. Then the whale spouted, and its spout now was a thick crimson cloud; and Mary saw Richard strike a sharp blow at thq line with a hatchet, saw its free end disappear. She cried, sick with sudden dis­appointment: “Oh, he’s let it go!” “It’s dying!” Tommy Hanline told her, protid of Richard. “He always cuts before the flurry unless there’s another boat that might get fast. He don’t take chances when there’s no need of it.” The spout was a fountain of blood as the whale again began to move, but there was no long flurry. Too much of the creature’s strength was already spent. It surged a IitUa forward, lay still, seemed to turn half on its side, laboriously righted itself.“Fin out!” said Tommy Hanline, and he looked up at MaTy with shin­ ing eyes. . She tried to speak and found her throat dry and constricted. Sbe whispered: “Is it dead? Did Rich­ ard kill it?” George, at her tone, looked at her quickly; but Tommy said, in high pride: “Yes! That was pretty won­ derful, wasn't it?” “Yes”’ she said, not seeing hay husband’s eyes. (TO BE CONTINUED*.

FRANK STROUD • • Editor. TELEPHONE Entered atthe Postoffice in Mocks- vllle, N. C.. as Second-class Mail •natter, March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE • ) SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE • : The more we heat and read a- bout the war the less we know a- bout it. About the only thing we know for certain is that Sherman knew what he was talking about when he said that “war was hell.” Speaking of our making prepare, tions for war, an exchange com­ ments as follows: At first they were called conscripts, then draft, ees, then trainees, then selectees, and maybe sometime before long they will become gunees and bom- bees. No one knows wbat next. Supt. Clyde Erwin. Tbe graduates of the 1941 class of Mocksville higb school, and the people of Davie county heard words of wisdom and truth proclaimed from the lips of a statesman last Wednesday night. Dr. Erwin spoke of the great need of preparation and character if one is to succeed in life. He stated that he was not a religious crank but that the history and ex­ perience of the United States prov ed that as a nation, and as individ. uals, the teachings of the Bible must govern, control and guide, if we, as a nation and a people, are to continue to live and enjoy the worth while things of life. As we recall Dr. Erwin’s message, he illustrated these truths with the lives of Abraham Lincoln, Stein metz, President Roosevelt, a young college student and others. AU of these succeeded because tbey pre pared and worked. Is there not a lesson here for all of us, especially for the development of the future citizenship and leader­ ship of our country, our citizenship, professions and homes. With one exception the men used as illustra­ tions above were not trained in so. cial graces, bnt were trained in mind and heart for a great work. We fiud that today there areplen ty of jobs and positions for trained people, while many who lack this preparation are on WPA, NVA and other made jobs, without any fu­ ture. We are facing a dark future; there will most likely be a greater depression after the present conflict. Only those who are exceptionally well prepared and trained, will then be accepted. Some ol the statesmen educators of our nation are condemning most of the extra curriculum activities of the high schools, stating that the tail is wagging the dog, demanding that trades and vocations be substi­ tuted for dramatics, dancing, innsic and the 1,000 and one other things. With our boys and girls going to college being handicapped because they must compete against students from nine months school and twelve years, or at !east against those who have had 99 months of schooling while they received only 88 months. That our youth may be as well prepared tor college and for life, may we emphasize in our county schools the three R’s and kindred subjects and also the developing of character that our future citizen, ship may have a correct conception of the true value of life. May. we pack in these eight months of school, ing each year the same mental and moral training that other boye and girls are receiving in nine ■ months in the larger cities. Boys Leave For Camp. Five young men from Davie county left • Mocksville Thursday morning at 9:48 o’clock tor Ft, Bragg, where they will take a year’s military training. Those leaving for camp were: William J. Moon, ey, James Avery Bowles, Russell B. Wood, Hayes Powell and S. T. Garner.

P A R T O N (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) ■VTEW YORK. — BirthQay inter- ' views with venerated patri­ archs of this land are usually given to bland optimism, though the „ , heavens beMorgenthaa, 85, fa1iirig jt’s Gazes on World an old Amer- WithoatBlinders £ aU cus^ m'Henry Mor- genthau Sr., just turned 85, has been an exception. We haven’t seen his customary chat with the reporters this year, but when and if it is re­ corded we may be sure he sees what he sees and isn’t trying to slick things up. Not that he’s a pessimist or defeatist. I remember meeting him on Mt. Desert Island, Maine, a few years ago and was tremendous­ ly impressed with his faith, ardor and fighting spirit. He knows a lot about wars and trouble. It was our Civil war that brought him here from his native Mannheim, Germany. His father was a prosperous cigar manufacturer. Civil war tariffs put him out of business and the family came to this country when Henry Morgen- thau was nine years old. He was a lawyer at 23, turned to real estate and finance, and had his money-making over at 55, with time, means and mental equipment to turn to the human­ities, to philanthropy and good works in general. Now he has a son in the cabinet, children, grandchildren and great-grand- children and the unflagging en­ ergies which are the reward of an abstemious life. If there’s a dark side, he isn’t afraid to look at it. He was back from Europe in 1933 with the simple conclusion that the world was head­ing into another war. “There is, in Europe,” he said, “no honest, moral desire for peace.” In 1913, his friend Woodrow Wilson made him ambassador to Turkey, which post he held until 1916. Thereafter, he helped pick up the pieces, in the ruin and chaos of the middle east. He has been both observing and studious and unhappily for easy-going optimists, singularly clear­ sighted in his prophetic look ahead. ♦---- 'T'HERE’S a tale of a professor -*■ who grew old writing a history of civilization. Late one night he fin­ ished it. Then, after a brief survey f t j-i. m of the result Thorndike Now 0f his ardu- Holds Intelligence ous labors, Can’t Be Tested he h^aved « great sigh and threw the history in the fire. “What’s the matter?” asked his wife. “There isn’t any civilization,” he replied. Dr. Edward L. Thorndike, author of the famous Thorndike intelligence test, probably wouldn’t say there isn’t any in­ telligence, but he does say in­ telligence can’t be tested, ac­ cording to news reports of his address before the American Philosophical society at Phila­ delphia. Dr. Thorndike’s apos­ tasy no doubt will set up some new measuring standards. If we don’t learn much, about keeping out of wars and such, it isn’t Dr. Thorndike’s fault. A pro­fessor at Columbia for 37 years, he is the author of a shelf of books in the general field of the psychology of learning. He has just aboat sur­ rounded the subject of “How We Learn.” The question of what we learn seems to be still wide open. From Williamsburg, Mass., he went to Wesleyan university, Har­ vard and Columbia and taught at Western Reserve before joining the Teachers’ college faculty in 1897. He is 67 years old. j — • — 'T'HE word is getting around that the founding fathers could fight well because they were super­ charged with vitamin Bi.*They ate . r. • a n y th in gGet Courage in handy an| Bottlesr Baskets got the thia- In These Days min of the B, which is to be found mainly in roughage.Prof. Russell M.

Courage comes in bottles or baskets in these fantastic days. Dr. Wilder is one of the country’s leading specialists on nutrition and diseases of metabolism. Born and reared in Cincinnati, he was educat­ ed at the University of Chicago, and Rush Medical college; practiced in Chicago and has been with the Mayo foundation since 1922.

ROBERT TAYLOR has very rarely visited his wife, Bar­ bara Stanwyck; t>n a motion picture set, but he broke the rule when she was working in “The Great Man’s Lady” (originally titled “Pioneer Woman” ) and watched her working with Brian Donlevy. A few days before, Dcnlevy had been shooting Taylor for the final scenes in "Billy the Kid.” Now that “Billy the Kid” is finished a quan­ dary has arisen. In the Metro script Billy was left-handed, so Taylor practiced for several months draw­ing his gun from the holster with his ‘left hand. Then came word from William S. Hart and Col. Archer Adams, both familiar with the des­ perado’s character, that he used his right hand. Looks as if the argu­ ment never would be settled. Anne Shirley, who appeared in her first picture when she was three, has a word of advice for mothers who want their children to be­come movie actors. She’s been working I . - with a series of >4 jjKt youngsters in “West ''arJH li Po“lt Widow”—fiveof them, in all, be­ cause the babies be­ haved so badly that substitutes had to be used. Miss Shir­ ley thinks it’s a great mistake to have a child learn to do imitations and tap dancing and all that sort of thing; an attractive, intelligent child with acting ability needs to do just one thing, says she—obey the di­rector. Walter Abel had visitors on his set a while ago who rattled him com­ pletely. He was do­ing a* scene with Paulette Goddard for Param ount’s “Hold Back the Dawn,” in a Mexi­ can border town set. The Abel sons, aged 11 and 9, re­spectively, had been studying about Mex­ico in school, and wanted to see the set; it interested them more than this first sight of their father at work. Abel finally had to ask Director Mitchell Leisen to shoot the scene again, on a closed set this time; his sons made him nervous! Joel McCrea took a short trip when he finished his work in the Stanwyck picture; went to New Mexico to see some men about some cows. He has enlarged his Ventura county ranch from 1,008 to 1,500 acres, and all that extra graz­ ing space has to have customers. Constance Moore, feminine lead in “I Wanted Wings,” now is deter­mined to earn wings of her own. AU that flying in the picture made her yearn to do it too—and she ought to be able to manage it eas­ ily, for her husband, Johnny Mas- Chio, is a licensed pilot. Her close friends, Margaret Sullavan and Oliv­ ia de Haviland, are urging her on; they both fly, and love it. Constance threatens to take to the air any day now. Columbia has finally signed all the players who will be seen in the new series of pictures based on the “Til- Iie the Toiler”- comic strip. Kay Harris, one of Hollywood’s Cinder­ ella girls, gets the lead; others in the cast are Daphne Pollard, Wil­ liam Tracy, George Watts, Jack Ar­ nold and Benny Bartlett. The release by RKO of Walt Dis­ney’s “The Reluetant Dragon” marks Disney’s entrance into a brand new field; the picture com­ bines both “live-action” photogra­phy and animated pictures. The Io- cale is the Disney studio, and Robert Benchley is the star. Maureen O’Sullivan paused in New York with her baby son, on the way from a visit with her husband— he’s stationed in Bermuda—back to Hollywood. Metro will co-star her in a new Tarzan picture with Jolinny Weismuller — the first Tarzan in nearly three years. The Court of Missing Heirs has lo­ cated 71 heirs in 69 weeks of broad­casting—and the yalue of the es­tates returned to the rightful heirs amounts to $4ft,375.

Please do. To her, it’s a very im­ portant time, and she’ll undoubted­ly remember the gang’s “last real get-together” for the rest of her life. Why not a buf- .\ x fet supper? What with wars raging elsewhere, you might play up the patriotic theme in decorations, re­ freshments and entertainment. Use a white tablecloth, dotted with red and blue stars, and matching napkins — .they’re inexpensive and colorful. To top this off, use a trio of star-shaped red, white and blue candles for a centerpiece. It won’t be necessary for you to do much, except, of course, prepare the food. Games and chatter will fill up the evening. But remember that you have as guests youngsters with appetites. They like second helpings.Serve an appetizer, one hot dish, plenty of salad and hot rolls, more cake or ice cream than you think you will possibly need, and flatter their sense of "sophistication by of­ fering second cups of coffee. A fortune telling cake is always fun when the crowd is young and merry. You can write fortunes on slips of paper, roll them and wrap them in bits of waxed paper, and put them in the cake after it is baked. Another idea is to put in a little trinket for each guest—an en­gagement ring and a wedding ring, to forecast the first engagement and the first marriage; a key for happi­ ness; a bean for industry; a toy soldier and so forth. You can buy these favors at the ten-cent store. cGood Fortune Cake. 2 cups sifted cake flour 2 teaspoons double-acting baking powderVz teaspoon salt % cup butter or other shortening I cup sugar 3 egg yolks, well beaten % cup milk I teaspoon vanilla 3 egg whites, stiffly beaten Sift flour once, measure, add bak­ ing powder and salt, and sift to­ gether three times. Cream butter thoroughly, add sugar gradually, and cream together until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks, then flour, al­ ternately with milk, a small amount at a time. Beat after each addition until smooth. Add vanilla and fold in egg whites. Bake in two greased 9-inch layer pans in moderate oven (375 degrees) 25 to 30 minutes. Dou­ble the recipe to make three 10- inch layers. Spread chocolate or maple frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake. LYNN SAYS: Games may or may not be the type of entertainment your crowd will enjoy. Just in case—here are a few suggestions: As soon as guests arrive, they receive a card with the name of a food printed on it. Each player must then find someone with the card with the name that combines with the name on his own card. Suggested names are liver and bacon; apple pie and cheese; sauerkraut and wieners; brown bread and baked beans; ham and eggs; bread and but­ ter; doughnuts and coffee; steak and onions; hot dogs and mus­ tard, This game may be used in choosing supper partners.» • • Sardine—Some guest is chosen to be “It,” and is given five min­ utes to hide in a spot large enough to hold several people. At the end of five minutes everyone else goes in search of “It.” When one guest finds “It” he hides in the same spot and before long the hiding place is packed. The first person unable to squeeze in is “It.” THIS WEEK’S MENU Graduation PartyAll-American Appetizers 'Americana Salad Clover Leaf Rolls •Veal on Skewers •Good Fortune Cake Ice Cream •Spiced Coffee •Recipes given. •Spiced Coffee. 6 cups decaffeinated coffee Vz cup whipping cream, whipped Vz teaspoon cinnamon Vi teaspoon nutmeg Top each cup of coffee with a spoonful of whipped cream into which the spices have, been folded.

BROADENING CHRISTIAN HORIZONS: PETER’S VISION LESSON TEXT—Acts 11:0-18.GOLDEN TEXT—Then Peter opened his mouth, and said. Ot a truth I perceive that God is no respecter ot persons.—Acts 10:34. “The best argument for Christian­ity is a Christian” (Henry Drum­ mond). Peter presented just such an argument when, early in the his­ tory of Christiiinity, there arose a difference of opinion regarding his ministry to a Gentile and his family. The stumbling stone of offense be­came a stepping stone to higher things, leading to the place of broad­er horizons. Peter, instead of ap­ pealing to his apostolic authority or asserting his position, simply relat­ ed what God had done. He present­ed the best proof that God had actu­ ally been at work; namely, a re­ deemed soul. We may learn from this lesson that the way to broadened horizons and greater usefulness for the church is by I. A Vision of God’s Plan (w. 5-10). AU men are equally precious in God’s sight. God taught Peter very effectively that, whether Gentile or Jew, the Lord is “not willing that any should perish, but that aU should come to repentance” (II Pet. 3:9). When God speaks we do weU to give heed to His message, even though it cuts across our ideas and prejudices, as it often does. It is not our plan that is important; it is God’s plan and purpose. As we walk in that way we shall have H. An Experience of God’s Power (w. 11-15). The Holy Spirit had fallen on the Gentiles and they actually had been saved. Is it not singular that in the early church they could hardly be­ lieve that a Gentile could be saved? Now we are astonished if a Jew is saved! Why will we in our unbelief limit the Holy One of Israel? The all-powerful gospel of the grace of God is still saving men and women, Jews and Gentiles, from their , sins. Have you seen it hap­ pen? It is a great inspiration to faith and service. God is ready so to encourage us—He is the same to­ day as He w hs when He sent Peter to Cornelius. Are we willing to run His errands, proclaim His message? To do so we need m . An Appreciation of God’s Word (v. 18). The best way to learn the mean­ing of God’s Word is to use it,'live it, obey it. “If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God” (John 7:17). Peter had learned anew that God’s Word meant just what it said. We who are God’s servants should be­ lieve His Word and act on it in faith. Observe that Cornelius had gath­ ered a group in his household to hear the Word of God (Acts 10:27, 33). Could we not do the same? “Can­ not each calculate with exactness some time and place where the gos­ pel is to be preached, and is it not possible to bring thither one’s rela­ tives and friends? Secondly, when present in a place of worship, can­ not each be prepared to say, ‘We are all here present’—all, family and friends, mind as well as body; ‘in the sight of God’—not to be seen by others, not conscious so much of others as of the presence of God; ‘to hear all things’—not to be amused or to sleep; ‘that have been com­ manded thee of the Lord’—not to listen to human conjecture or the ex­ploiting of doubts, but to receive a positive message which is delivered in a reverent spirit and with the prophetic formula: ’Thus saith the Lord.’ What would happen were all Christian churches filled with such audiences?” (Charles R. Erdman). This brings us to what is most im­portant of all in broadening our spiritual horizons. IV. An Understanding of God’s Love (w. 17, 18). God’s love is for all people. Since He has not raised any barriers of race, creed, color, class, or social position, it is not for His followers, and assuredly not for His servants, to set up hindering restrictions which He does not countenance. If God intended to save Gentiles, Peter wanted to be an instrument in His hand, not a hindrance in His way. One of the needs of our day is that those doing God’s work should not withstand Him and His love. He who is the same yesterday, today, and forever, is ready to work as powerfully today as He did in . the days of Peter and Paul, or of Finney, and Moody. Let us give Him liberty to work in. and through us, not as we may wish, but as He desires. Who are we that we should withstand God? Goal of LifeOh, yet we trust that, somehow. Good will be the final goal of ill, That nothing walks with aimless feet,That not one life shall be. destroyed, Or cast as rubbish to the void, When God has made the pile com­plete.—Tennyson.

You see them here in the small sketch —six of them—window; over­ mantel space; window; book shelves; mantel; book shelves— around and around they go.

On arriving home father found a foreign coin resembling a quar­ ter in his small change, so he went out to do a little shopping, taking Herbert, aged five, along. He went to the grocer’s, and the grocer, looking at the coin, said with an air of surprise, “Why, this is not United States money!”So the man went to the drug­ gist’s, and there tendered the coin. The druggist informed him that the coin was of foreign extraction. “Good heavens, so it is!” ex­claimed the father. “I wonder where I got that?”“Don’t you know, dad??’ spoke up Herbert. “That’s the one the grocer ,wouldn’t take!” WALL'S BROKER MANY RECTANGLES— I SIMPLE MANTEL • Al® REGULAR LMES ~T CURTAINS.

Why He Drinks The crux of tha whole liquor qtwa- tion is “Why do people drink?”A great deal of thought 1« being given to the various answers to this query at National W.C.T.TJ. head­ quarters, where the fight against al­ cohol has never slackened.It is realized that a few persona drink because they think it is smart, because they do not w ish to be conspicuous among drinking friends, or be­cause they lack the strength of character to say “No.” In other words social pressure makes up their minds for them.But many drinkers look upon al­ cohol as a means of temporary es­ cape from reality. They mistakenly think drinking makes them feel bet­ter, whereas it really only anesthe­ tizes their mental perceptions and makes them less able to feel any­thing. As Dr. A. C. Ivy of the North­ western University Medical School has pointed out, “Alcohol gives tem­porary relief from worry; abolishes mental tension; relieves a feeling of inferiority; makes a weak person . feel strong, an ignorant person feel smart, a poor person feel rich, an oppressed person feel free, a bad person feel good, and makes ona imagine himself a good driver who may be potentially a motor car mur­ derer.” AU these sensations are directly traceable to the narcotic effect at alcohol, which deadens the power to feel pain or care or responsibility and deceives the drinker. “Alcohol depresses the critical and most sensitive faculties of tha brain,” says Dr. Ivy. “Alcohol dis­ turbs motor control. Alcohol affecti memory and learning.”There would be much less drink­ ing, scientists and psychiatrists be­lieve, if drinkers in their sober mo­ments would sub­ mit themselves to searching self- analysis as to the motives impell­ing them to turn to alcohol. “Drowning sor­ rows in alcohol" is an old excuse for drinking, but no sorrows were ever permanently disposed of in a saloon. Back they come, usually in aggravated form, when sobriety returns, and often with a lot of new ones lmuglit on by the “cure.”“It is very poor policy to play with fire or with firewater,” says Dr. Ivy. "Not a Solution” Sen, Sheppard - Rum Undermines A Democracy A powerful and tireless voice which always fought for the people’s best interests was stilled In April, 1941, with the death of Sen. Mortlt Sheppard. He was recognized as one of those rare leaders whose every action sprang from a base of personal con­viction and Christian belief. After 39 years in Congress, he knew the weaknesses and the strengths Cf tha American democ­racy. As chair­man of the impor­ tant senate com­ mittee on mili­ tary affairs, Sen­ ator Sheppard knew all about the threats to democ­racy from fas­ cism and totali­ tarianism.. Seri­ ously ill for sev­ eral months, ha remained on the Job and gave his energy without stint to promoting the national de­fense program. Against this background, his ad­ dress to the Senate on Jan. 16 of 1940 should have been a clarion call to the nation. Speaking—as was his annual custom on the anniversary of fiie effective date of the Eighteenth Amendment—he said: “Not only are the material and moral values of the nation imperiled '.by a promoted liquor interest, but • the very machinery of democracy for the expression of the will of the people is too often dominated by jthose whose power is derived from 8 commercialized traffic in intost rCating liquor.”Again, he said: “No one, wet or dry, will argue that either the physical or mental well-being of men is increased by indulgence in intoxicants. And yet fiie strength, endurance, intelligence and alertness of our forces on and sea are even more important than the ships they sail, the air­ planes they fly, or file guns they fire.” The last phrase of his January, 1941, speech was: “I condemn it (liquor) because an alcohol drinking democracy cannot develop the maximum strength for national defense.” One of his last- legislative effort* was introduction of a bill—strongly supported by the churches, National W.C.T.U., and others—which would forbid the sale of beer In training camps and set up zones about the camps in which liquor and vice would be. forbidden.

I Youthful Corn Champs Win National Honors With Fertflizer BEVERLY MEAL Waldron, lndiaiia Washington, S . C.—Youth, with its dear eyes fixed on better farming practices, carried off the com honors for this year when 17-year old Beverly Heal, Waldron, Induma, was named Corn Princess, and Charles N. Fischer, ShelbyviUe, Indiana, was made Corn King at the recent International Hay and Grain Show at Chicago. The latest farming methods, pins proper nse of fertilizer, made them champs. Miss Meal’s 10 acres of Beid’s Tdlow Dent, from which she took the champion ears with an 83.4 bushel yield, were plowed, disked, and later cultivated with a team and by hand. She fertilized her corn with 100 poonds per acre of complete fertilizer, CHARLES N. FISCHER Shelbyville, Indiana after tests that showed the land was becoming deficient in potash. The additional potash aided in good finish and maturity of the crop. Miss Meal followed a crop rotation of cora- wheat-clover. Carl Fischer has been developing his com over a period of ten years, but this is the first year his exhibit gained national recognition. He has an 80-acre farm on wljich he uses a 3-year rotation including com-wheafc- clover. This past season he raised 20 acres of corn. His farm program in­ cludes hogs, dairy cattle, and general fanning. He fertilized his corn with 126 pounds of complete fertilizer drilled in the rows.

He may be well enlightened In scien­ ces, and may have a college educa­ tion, but in his evil, sinful, carnal nature there is such a blindness un­ til he is helpless to grasp and com­ prehend the richness and magnifi­ cence of righteousness. Every man must have Christ in his life in order to have his spiri- tual'eves opened. The spiritual eye can behold what the natural eye cannot. It sees the beauty Of God and holiness, has the blessed light of God within, therefore walks in God’s holy light along life’s pathway heavenward. This is life’s better way. It is for every man mho will repent of his sins, have the cleansing blood applied to his heart, and will keep in the foot­ prints of Jesns. Perhaps we sometimes wonder at the blindness of men. It looks as though be could see more than he does in many things. As he reads history, both secular and sacred, why can’t he see how sin and wick­ edness has wrecked, ruined and de stroyed men and nations through the ages of the past? Why can’t he see that when men disobey God they always have to suffer for it? Why can’t he see that war after war down across the ages of time have been caused by greed, hatred, selfishness and dreadful wickedness, then turn unto Godf Why can’t he see that men literally destroy themselves through their wicked­ ness, but that men always save themselves through righteousness? How blind men are! They turn from the light of God and His holy Word unto the darkness of iniquity and walk therein, even thinking they are right. Why can’t men see that the devil is the author of all war and destructiveness, then turn from the devil and give themselves wholly unto God? No; they go in­ to the verv same trap and net the devil has defeated the human fam ily with for thousands of years. That is exactly what we are doing as the nations of earth today. We are simply iepeatiug the tragedies of thousands of years, fighting, killing, slaying, shedding human blood, sending multitudes to the grave and to hell, all because of blindness through sin and dreadful wickedness. Why not turn to God? Thinks President Is Mostly Delano. Hartford, Conn.—Daniel W. De­ lano, who described himself as a fourth cousin of Prerident Roose­ velt, today said his forthcoming genealogical study would show the President has followed the footsteps of the Delano, or maternal, branch of his family. Delano will maintain the Delanos have been American leaders for three centures and said the family included may naval officers, a trea­ sury comptroller,- a New York may. or, a United States Senator from Ohio, but also the first winner of the national liars’ contest and a horse thief. The Delanos, he said, were noted for long life and strong health, and the Prerident "could easily serve a fourth term.” It will be only about four more weeks until the blackberry crop will be ripe and ready to be made into pies.

Secretary of Treasury Morgen- thou’s proposal for sharply in creased income taxes in the lower brackets brought to millions of A- merlcans that first - realization of the serious situation confronting this country. The most sensitive port of man is his pocketbook nerve and now Secretary Morgenthan not only touches it—he bruises it. As severe as the Morgenthau pro­ posals are, this may be only the England pays 50 per cent of his in. come tax collector and that may happen here before we are through with World War II. The pros­ pect, however, chills some of the enthusiasm which many of the citi­ zens have had for the New Deal. Do not mistake us. Our quarrel is not with the increased tax rates. Heaven knows, someone must start paying the Roosevelt Administra­ tion bills and it long has been high time to commence. If we are to spend at the rate of some twenty billions a year, it is only fair that this generation shoulder the burden Moreover; sharply increased taxes now will serve as ah antidote for the germs of inflation inherent in the present situation. But though we recognize the ne­ cessity for such taxation, we should not ignore or gloss over the reasons for it. Such tax rates, the highest in the country’s history, would not be necessary were it not for the the reckless spending of the last eight years by the Roosevell Ad­ ministration. In that period the New Dealers have increase the na­ tional debts some thirty billions. Tbsy have more than doubled the cost of the Federal Government, excluding all national defense items. What is worse, the New Deal during this period of lavish spend­ ing woefully neglected our national defense needs. Had a larger part ot the money spent for so-called re­ covery purpose in the last eight years gone into building up our na­ tional defense, a part of the sum being spent bassily and in some in­ stance wastefully, could be saved. AU wise men agree that sharply increased taxes are now necessary. Bnt let us place the responsibility where it belongs—on the Roosevelt Administtation.-Union Republican. Jost a Moment Please. Thursday. In this fast moving world adver. risers on the billboards must strive continually to get new and novel ideas for their signs in order to be certain that they wiU command at­ tention. Some of the best signs, however, are not of an advertising nature. These signs have to do with the chances of getting credit at certain Winston-Salem business establish^ ments. One of them says: One man said, "I'll pay you to­ morrow. or die.” He died. Another man, "I’ll pay you if the bank doesn’t fail.” It failed. The third said, "I’ll pay you or go to hell ” He’s gone. So don't ask for credit! Some of them aren’t deninite in their stating that there wiU be no credit extended. In fact in one es­ tablishment it definitely states that "Liberal credit will be extended to all persons over 8 0 years of age who are accompanied by their par­ ents.” The crowning cry however, says, The end of the world is coming. Please don’t ask.- for credit. We don’t wau’t to have chase you all over hell to get our money. Thanks.” The Democratic Party has drift­ ed far from its ancient moorings. It still celebrates birthdays of its old heroes—but to what end? Jack­ son Day dinners ab $100 apiece, simply to get all the "jack” out of Jackson r-Rep. Chas. L. Gifford. A False System of Edu< cation. "That America’s declining' birth rate, her appalling crime record, and her great army of idle youth (although over a million are in the armed forces) are the result of a false system of education is the con­ viction of Dr. John E Brown, Pre­ sident of John Brown University, of Arkansas. He declares that the esteem for God, motherhood and honest toil—the factors that made our nation great—have not parked the trends and policies In education in the last 20 years. The fault is not wholly that of the school; its faults are a reflection of the views of society. If only two girls out of a hund­ red today are training for home- making and motherhood, it is be­ cause many mothers have advised their daughters against the respon­ sibilities of family life. Also many fathers have not wanted their sons trained to work. For 20 years the youth of this nation has been train­ ed away from skilled industry and away from productive labor. 'At most only 15 per cent of our people can find renumerate work in the white-collar circles of the na­ tion, and over 80 per cent of the high school students and 97 per cent of our college young people are headed that way. Meanwhile the industries cannot find enough skilled workers. There are many openings for men skilled in special­ ized trades, but they can not be found. Not trained to productive toil by their education, many are idle. And the Idle, if they do not know God, often turn to crime.”— The National Religious Press. Have we not stressed far too muchly in our educational system the entertainment, play and fun ride of life? Have we not failed to prepare our young people for the realities of life, the making of a life? Is it not true that in the pre­ sent situation youth is more sinned against than sinning. Example speaks louder th a n words. If we continue through 11 years of schooling to stress enter­ tainment,dancing, music and sports; permitting the students to be ab­ sent from class after class to par­ ticipate in these secondary things; will not the student unconsciously get the idea that life is all play and no work. On the other hand the Book of Wisdom, the voice of God speaks in Proverbs, "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her wavs'and be wise,” and 2 Thessa- lonlans, 3 :10, "If a person will not work, neither should he eat.” Ifour educationalsystemis fail­ ing to emphasize the principle of work or preparing the youth to work, then most certainly our edu­ cational system is. false and wrong. Also we have been falling to build' character by teaching, by religious chapels, righteous examples, and emphasis upon the essentials. "It is a national disgrace” declares J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the F. B. I., “That in 1939, 12 per cent of all murders, 29 per cent -of all robbere, 33 per cent of all thieves, 46 per cent of all burglars, and 34 per cent of all automobile thieves were' under voting age.” Truly our educational system has been wrong, for we have failed to build and develop strength of character, but have instilled a philosophy of life within the minds and hearts of the youth.that life is all play and fun and pleasure. ' ‘As you sow so shall ye reap,” "A tree is known by its fruits.” Certainly we are not reaping the kind of frnits we desire or need now or'in the future. Is it not time that wecorrectour wrong system of education! Let us put the emphasis where it is most needed. - Let. us ,bring back into our educational system tbe disci Soch Is Life. Man comes into this world with, out his consent and leaves it against his will. During bis stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of contraries and misunder­ standings. In his infancy he is an angel. In his boyhood he is a dev 11. In his manhood he is everything from a lizzard ap. In his dotage he is a fool. If he raises a family he is a chump. If be raises a check he is a thief, and the law raises the devil with him. If he is a poor man he is a poor manager and has no sense. If be is rich he is dis honest and considered smart. If he is in politics, he is a grafter and a crook.- If he is out of politics you can’t place him, as he is an "Un- desiiable Citizen.” If he goes to church he is a hypocrit. If be stays awav from church he is a sin­ ner. If he donates ro foreign mis. sions he does it for show; if he doesn't he is stingy and a "Tight Wad.” Whenhe first comes into the world everybody wants to kiss him—before he goes out they all want to kick him. If hediesvoung there was a great future before him. If he lives to a ripe old age, he Is in the way—only living to save funeral expenses. What’s the use? Life is a funny proposition after all. Naval ReservesFirstTo Be Registered. The Assistant Secretary of tbe Navy, Ralph Bard, has just, an­ nounced that men enlisting in the Naval Reserves will be kept on ac­ tive duty only during the period of the present National Emergency, regardless of the time remaining on tbeif term of enlistment. These men will be among the first to be released from military service when the emergency is over with. The term of enlistment in the Naval Reserves is four years for those over 18 years of age. For 17 year olds it is until they become 21 years old. 20,000 Baptists To Visit Summer Retreat, In the neighborhood of 20,000 Baptists are expected to attend re treats and conferences at the South­ ern Baptist assembly grounds at Ridgecrest this summer.

Where Does That $21 A Month Go? Just what does an average North Carolina Selective Service man do with bis/$2i a month pay? An extensive survey was recent­ ly conducted here revealing that a majority of the 6,000 selectees in training with tbe 30 th Division at Ft. Jackson carefully budget their monthly pay. Tbe first thing a new soldier does when his company commander has handed him his $21 is to hand $ 2 of it right back. This pays for his laundry for the month which is picked up weekly and done on a contract basis. The soldier now has $19 left, a spending allowance of 63 cents a day. Tbe usual soldier’s bndget of this sum goes something like this: Four nights in Columbia where he will have a 50 cents dinner fol­ lowed by a movie at 45 cents and an after movie snack of 25 cents. Fare to the city and return runs about 25 cents unless the soldier goes in a' taxi with three other baddies then his fare will go up to 50 cents. Total cost of the evening runs a. bout $1.50 . If he does this four nights, he spends $6. With his remaining $13, a soldier averages 20 cents a night at the post exchange where he buys soft drinks, cake and candy and what­ ever else will fill stomachs that re­ fuse to be filled. This runs him a- bout $ 6 for the month and leaves him $7 . Out of his last $7, a soldier must purchase toilet articles,' stamps, magazins and newspapers. The job of'stretching his pay over a month is a seemingly impossible one, but most of the men do it and a good many ot them go so far as. to send some of their pay home. This fact is evidence by the re­ ceipts for money orders issued at tbe Fort Jackson post office—which leads all other post offices in the State in the issuance of postal nion- ' ey orders. Many of these orders, of course come from soldiers who receive more than the basic $21 paid to soldiers their first three months in service. As a -man advances in the Army bis salary increases. After three months a private recieves £30 monthly and a first class private $36 . Unlce Sam’s soldiers are the highest paid in tbe world and ac­ cording to the surver Fort Jackson, they have learned how to get, the most out of their hard earned wages. —Thursday. A D S For SA L E IN O U R NEXT ISSUE THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. JL. 0 BEU AMEi WIUJAMS M N< u . S e r v ic e BqbEN A mes Williams CHAPTER XI—Continned —18— . Richard’s boat was near the dead »hale, moving to and fro, Bichard itanding high in the bow and point- ng this way and that to guide Fip it the stealing oar; and MaTy could tee now and then a man lean over­ ride and pick something up out of he water with both hands. Mary ooked around for information. Pe­ er was aft; but Isaiah was here vith them, his elbows on the rail, tquinting at the boats yonder. Mary tsked him what they were doing. “Mat’s cutting a hole in the small io’s he can tow her in.” “I mean, what’s Richard picking ip?”“Oh, might be grease,” he sug- (ested. “You see it sometimes, where a whale’s costive.” Mary, looking down into Richard’s loat, saw that it was half full of iome strange stuff,’noisome in ap- searance, a mass of gouts and ihunks and fragments deep gray in :olor, from which an unpleasant idor rose. The. stuff was piled iround the feet of the men, the whole whaleboat messed with it. Peter came here beside them; and le called down to his brother: “What’s all that gurry, Dick?” Jlichard looked up at them with taUn eyes; but then his own ex- :itement made him grin like a proud, triumphant boy. He threw ip his hand. “Greasy luck today, Peter. It’s ambergris!” he cried.Mary remembered vaguely hav­ ing heard someone at some time ipeak of “ambergris.” She had an obscure impression that is was valu­ able, and she decided now with an amused grimace that it must be, or clichard would not have brought this ooatload of ill-smelling stuff back to She Venturer. He leaped to the deck beside them, dripping with his exertions, and drunk with the hot taste of victory; and as the men swung the whaleboat aboard he spoke to Peter.“What's ambergris good for, Rich­ ard? It smells awful.” Richard chuckled reassuringly. '1Ifll get over that as soon as it dries out. They use it to make perfumes!”“Where does ambergris come from?”“I guess nobody knows just what It is. A whale gets rid of it while he’s dying, just the way a trout will clean out its stomach on the hook. 5fou’ll see chunks of squid half as big as a man floating around a whale after he’s fin out and sometimes you find ambergris the same way.” Mary watched him, her eyes still as woodland pools, remembering what she had seen this tall young man do a while ago. When he came toward her again,, she could not face him, and like one waking she looked around, and realized for the first time that George was no longer here besicty her. She saw him by the cabb (."Bylight aft. Richard returned past her. “Got to go get dry,” he said. She fol­lowed him toward where George stood; and George stopped Richard, said in unstinted praise: “That’s the finest thing I ever saw or heard of, Cap’n Corr.” Richard flushed with pleasure and Mary linked her arm through her husband’s and held tight to it, and echoed: “Did you ever see any­thing so wonderful?” Richard grinned. "It was a pret­ty good fight,” he admitted.“It was great,” George agreed.- “I didn’t take a full breath for ten minutes.” He smiled. “If that’s whaling, Cap’n Corr, I’ll stick to the ministry.” Richard chuckled in shy pleasure. “Shucks, most times it’s Uke beef­ ing a steer. Nine whales out of ten just make a little run and then take it; and the bowheads don’t even do that.” “A bowhead killed Vnde Tom,” Mary remembered. "Oh, sometimes they’ll act bad.” The business of cutting in the dead whale was pushed at top speed to beat the threat of weather. Mary watched the long spades slice through blubber and flesh'and gristle as easily as hot butter.. Peter, she saw, was shrewd and skilful at this business. Mary watched the whole opera­ tion, from the first cut into the black carcass scarred white by the sharks. The sharp blades the men used fas­ cinated her. Hiram was kept busy grinding them, Tommy turning for him. She and George watched pro­ ceedings together; and once when Richard stopped near them, she said: “AU these spades and harpoons and lances are pretty deadly, aren’t they. I should think you’d' be nerv­ ous, having them around.” “Well, they’re our tools,” he re­minded her. "We get used to them.” And he said: “You know, Peter’s the best I ever saw on the cutting stage.” She thought he wished to restore Peter’s stature in her eyes, and said agree­ably: “I could see that. He knows just where to cut, doesn’t he?”AU that night the decks were a red-lighted inferno of smoke and flame; and the smell ot hot oil pene­trated every part of the shipl It would be days before tee Ven­ turer was spick and span again. The whale, beside the ambergris, added sixteen barrels of spermaceti, and forty-odd of oil to their cargo but the ambergris had captured the imagination of every- man aboard. That single small barrel which a strong man could lift and carry away was worth thousands of dol­lars. No one could be sure exactly how much, and every man aboard was wondering. , After they found the ambergris, Richard, who had till then main­ tained a careful dignity, as though to support-his new part as Captain of the Venturer, became more ex­ pansive. Mary thought his luck had given him a sense of his own powers on which now he could build. At table he was more ready to talk about himself, and about the things he had seen in his ten years of sea­ faring. When he spoke of whales and whaling, even George was in­ terested and attentive but some­times, chuckling at his memories, Richard spoke of brawling days ashore. One day he related a rather gay tale of wine and women that net­ tled George. Leaving Richard in the outer cabin he stalked out, Mary quick on his heels. George led Mary into her own cabin and closed the door and he said at once: “Mary, I don’t like that talk! Cap­ tain Corr ought to mind his tongue.” She hesitated, seeing how anger shook him, wondering in embarrass­ ment whether Richard could hear. Then she heard Richard go .on deck. “Don’t you think you’re a little un­ reasonable, George?” she pleaded. “Of course, you’re a minister, and “I knew darned well you’d be crying!” a-fine one; but Richard’s fine in his way too. Don’t you think there are two ways, at least, for men to live?” He said, after a moment, with that humility which a consciousness of his own one-sidedness always woke in him: “Yes, I know, Mary. But I hate his attitude toward—well, to­ ward women. The relationship be­tween men and women—isn’t a game, to be played for fun. When a man does things like that, and brags about them ...” “I don’t think he was bragging,” she argued. “I thought he was just telling some of the foolish things he used to do.” “Mary, are you trying to justify him?”“Yes, I am,” she admitted. “I think by his standards Richard’s a pretty fine man. Just as you are by yours. I think if you did things like that, you’d feel ashamed and de­ graded; so of course you shouldn’t do them. But when he did them, he didn’t feel ashamed. He just thought they were fun! They were foolish, perhaps; but all young men do foolish things, don’t they?" “Most of them, I suppose. That doesn’t make them any less fools!” His voice was tight with rage. She protested, herself hall angry now: “You surely don’t expect me to be like you, stiff, and disapprov­ing, and hardly speaking to him at all.”“I don’t expect you to defend him!”“Richard doesn’t need defend­ ing!” George said rigidly: “I expect you to remember you’re my wife, Mary.” She told him wearily: “Oh I do, George. You know I do.” But some­ thing in her tone made him look at her with'bleak eyes; and he turned without a word and went out of the cabin, closing the door harshly be­hind him. She dropped on her bunk, lying on her back, her eyes open, and it occurred to her after a little that she was very tired. She wondered why; and her eyes filled, and she rolled over, her head in her arms, crying quietly. Whenthedoorofthe stateroom opened and then closed, she thought it was George return­ing to make his peace with her; and she lay still, waiting for him to speak. She felt his weight on the bunk as he sat down beside her, his hand upon her shoulder; and she turned over to look up at him and saw not George but Peter. He bent close above her so that she could not rise; and he whispered hotly: "I knew darned well you’d be crying! Blast him! If he were man’s size I’d take him apart!” She shook her head from side to side on the pillow. “He’s all right, Peter. I was just tired, that’s all. I don’t know why.” She tried to sit up, put her hand against his chest to thrust him aside; but he did not move. He laughed, in a comforting fashion. “Poor little Mary! You always were a sweet kid. I was crazy about you, at home.” “You were sort of mean to me, al­ways teasing.” “Sure. That’s the way boys do! That’s the way they show it.” He said quickly: “I’d do a lot to see you happy.” And he bent and kissed her. CHAPTER XII He said hoarsely, his lips against her ear: “I could do anything, with a woman like you.”He was pressing her down. She had to fight away, to fight to her feet in a sort of blind panic, to face him with blazing eyes, scrub­bing at her lips which again now Tie had kissed, crying in low tight tones: “Stop it, Peter! Stop it! Get out of here!” x <She flung him back. He stood against the door, muttering broken­ ly. “I’m sorry. I couldn’t help it. You’re so sweet! I lost my head!” “Get out of here!” He said in sudden sullen wrath: “You’re not fooling me, you know! You’ve always been crazy about Dick! You never would look at me!” She took a quick step toward him, so angry that he recoiled; and he opened, behind him, the cabin door. She said: “If you ever come in here again, I’ll ...” He exclaimed in quick alarm: “Sh-h! Don’t yell, Mary. George will hear . . .” He turned and ran up the companionway to the deck. After that whale which Richard killed had been ttied out, and the decks scoured clean again, there were long lazy days when the ship and those aboard her seemed asleep. Sometimes Mary, looking up at the men on watch at the crosstrees, saw them nodding on their lofty perch. When the Venturer was on whaling ground, she carried at night only enough sail to make her handy; but now Richard was making a passage, counting on picking up enough oil to fill their casks off the coast of South America.Richard for the sake of warm weather did not yet turn southward and the sun shone fair and fine, and the winds were favoring. The watch on deck might be busy with scrim- shaw, listening perhaps to one of Corkran’s yarns; and the squawk of the parrot sometimes came aft. Richard, standing with Mary one day, watching Corkran and his lis­teners, said: “He’s a good man, a good sailor; and a story-teller in the fo’c’s’le helps keep the men contented. Some­one to tell ’em stories keeps' ’em amused.”Mary reflected thoughtfully: “You know, Corkran’s really fond ol George.' That’s why he deserted the Sunset at Gilead, in case George needed him.”“George is a fine fellow, Mary. I like him too.” “The queer part is, he likes Cork. ran,” she said. “Corkran lived with the natives on the island and George knows it, and yet he doesn’t seem to blame him.” , Richard looked at her. “You know, you may not understand George yourself,” he said. “He’s about the bravest man I ever saw. He’s pret­ ty small, and frail; but he’s never afraid.” He added: “He wants to go in one of the boats next time we strike whales." She was astonished.. “Honestly? After seeing that fight the other day? He said then he’d stick to being a preacher, don’t you remember?” He chuckled. “That was partly to make me feel good, and partly because he saw how—impressed you were, and he was trying to please you by agreeing with you. George is a grown man, Mary, small as he is.” “Will you let him go in a boatT” “Maybe.” George had long since made Us peace with Mary after that ugly hour in her cabin when by defencU ing Richard she roused his anger. He was humble and contrite and ashamed of his harsh word. Peter too came to her with apologies; and Mary guardedly forgave him, as a woman can always forgive a man for loving her; but sometimes when she looked at him suddenly she surprised a sultry hunger ^n his eyes that made her wary. She tried not to be left alone with him again.There were other reasons too why her nerves drew tight and tighter. She saw much low-pitched conver­ sation among the men forward.Even Corkran was changed. Ma­ ty, when he . had the wheel, some­ times talked with him, puzzled bj the difference in his bearing. Sh« and George discussed it too. Mary asked Corkran straightfor­ wardly one day why he had changed. He was, he confessed, un­ easy. “I don’t like the looks ol .tilings forward,” he said. “Nor the talk I hear.” “What talk?”“They’re saying there’s a packet of pearls aboard this ship thaf* worth a fortune.” His eyes .touchec hers. “You mind, pearls made trou ble enough back -there a t-the island for himself and you. I don’t like th« pretty little things.” . (TO BE CONTINUED) F I R s 5P A I D ■ -foihe — A I L I N G H O U S E by Roger B. Whitmait (© Boger B. Whitman—WNU Service.) House Construction A. CORRESPONDENT is planning to build a small house in a sub­ urban district. Although he has had no experience in the work, he wants to do it all himself. He asks for a book giving “all details in mixing ceipent for the brick facing of the house, making up the plaster and applying the same, installation of plumbing, heating and hot water systems, drainage system, electric wiring and fixture installation. In other words, a book dealing with all details of house construction.” He also asks whether permits will be necessary and where to get them; whether licensed men must install any or all of the work, and whether the house must be built by a li­ censed contractor. Answer: No one book covers all of this information; many books will be needed. In building a house, one error may be enough to weaken the entire structure and to make it all useless. For this reason I strongly recommend that he give up his idea. AU developed communities require the licensing of many of the trades, and plans and specifications must be approved by a building depart­ ment. I greatly appreciate his de­ sire for a house, but strongly ad­ vise him to put his construction in the hands of experienced people. Bathroom In the CeUar Question: I wish to construct a bathroom in the ceUar. The room wiU be situated in the center of the cellar and is to receive Ught from one window. I intend using imita­ tion tile which comes in sheets.- These would come about 30 inches from the ceiling. Would it be possi­ ble to have the top 30 inches closed in by using frosted glass? If the glass were used, would noises be heard through it? Would it be better to have a tile or wood floor? Answer: Two sheets of glass sep­arated by at least one inch of air space would be better for cutting down sound transmission. For the floor use either asphalt tile or ce­ ramic tile. Either one of these ma­terials can be used oh basement floors. Before going ahead with this idea make sure that the soil pipe line to the sewer wiU be below the level of the bathroom fixture outlets. Coanter Tops Question: I have just made cabi­nets for my kitchen, and am puz­ zled at what to use for the top of the drain boards around the sink and for the counter tops. What do you advise? Answer: The material that is in most general use for work tables and drain boards is battleship lino­ leum. This is-cut to size, secured to the under surface with waterproof cement, and the edges bound with speciaUy formed metal strips that make the edges waterproof, and also protect them against chafing. Ex­ perienced linoleum layers are famil­iar with the work. If you want to do it yourself, you should be able to get the strips at a well equipped hardware store, where you can also learn of the method of appUcation. Cement for securing the linoleum can be roofing cement, liquefied by heating. Old Brass Warming-Pan ^ ' Question: Is there some way to shine up an old brass warming-pan, and then put something on it to prevent, tarnishing? Answer: If the brass is badly tarnished, wash with ordinary vine­ gar in which salt has been dissolved —as much salt as will be taken up. Follow by rinsing with clear water and then wipe dry. If necessary, foUow by a good metal polish. After polishing, wipe the surface with ben­ zine, being extremely careful of fire, and then apply a coat of clear lac­ quer. A plating shop could proba­bly do a much better job for you, and at no great cost. Inqinre at our nearby garage. Shingles Over Old Roof Question: What is the cheapest and best shingle to use on a roof? Can it be put right over old shin­ gles? Do they come in green?Answer: Asphalt or wood shingles are probably, the least expensive. Either type of shingle can be laid over the old shingles; in fact, most re-roofing jobs are done over old shingles. Green is a popular color in all types of roofing materials, and you should have no difficulty in getting the shade that you want. Moths In a Mattress Question: I have a hair mattress with moths in it. It was once de- mothed, but the moths came back after a year. How can we get rid of them?Answer: Put the mattress out­ doors, preferably on an overcast day to reduce the fire hazard, and soak it with naphtha or clear gasoline. This will destroy every stage of in­ sect life. SUverfish Question: In the downstairs room of a very old house the waUpaper above the baseboard is being eaten off in some places as far up as the window sU. The damage seems to be the work of insects, although we have never seen any. Can you ex­ plain?Answer: That is undoubtedly, the work of silverfish, which eat starch and find it in waUpaper'.paste. I have vyritten a leaflet on tile con­trol of silverfish, a copy of which is being mailed to you. This wiU an wer your question, I am sure.

D uring the past few weeks local and state newspapers have been carrying big advertisem ents from the brew ers’ association, boasting of the large am ount of taxes they are paying the towns, counties and state for the privilege of selling beer in N orth Carolina. T heseads did not appear in T he Davie Re­ cord. W e wonder if all th is tax m oney will ease the heartaches of the fathers, m others and wives, w hen th tir sons, daughters and husbands come staggering into the hom es in the wee small hours of th e m orning? T he lifeof oneyonng m an or woman cannot be m easured in term s of ta x dollars paid for the privilege ot selling intoxicants to th e com ing generation of young people. T he argum ent that beer will not intoxicate is as false as the argum ent that H itler is a Christian gentlem an of high moral character. O ne night we were standing on the sidew alk when a young man came staggering np the street. W e ask. ed tw o young men standing nearby if they knew the young fellow. T hey answered io the affirmative, One of them rem arked th at the boy hadn’t been drinking anything ex cept beer. Perhaps he hadn’t, but he couldn’t have been drunker had be been loaded down w ith—W ilkes county corn liquor. W e also won der just how m uch ta x m oney this tow n and county gets for the priV' ilege of selling onr young people beer and wine?

T en years, ago there cam e to MocksviUe a lady to teach in our high school. A lthongh she was sm all of stature, we soon learned th a t she w as large of heart, ItqraIty and ability. In a very quiet, unassum ing way Miss M cKee did a m ost construc tive job of instructing th e boys and girls in the subjects assigned to her Those young people w ho have at­ tended college report th at they were best prepared in the courses w hich they studied under Miss McKee. Miss M cKee was a gifted teach, er, know ing h er subjects, most tho. rough in her w ork, loyal to the school and students and m ost con. scientious, arriving at the school early and rem aining late. S he lov­ ed her w ork w hich m anifested it- self in fine results. T he boys and girls w ho graduated from th e school look back on their days under Miss' M cKee w ith deepest appreciation. T he parents of these pupils also ap­ preciate the fine work done in be­ half of their children bv this splen­ did teacher. By exam ple this teach­ er tau g h t loyalty, faithfulness, en­ deavor, thoroughness, honesty and the other fine traits of character. A ddrening the N ational Congress of Parents and Teachers at Boston, M ay 19th, President Roosevelt said in bis message, ''I n th e crisis ofaf fairs of the nation, it is of the n t most im portance th at parents and teachers plan a definite program for the developm ent of character in their boys and girls w ho will in a short tim e be men and women hold­ ing responsible positions and m ak. ing far-reacbing decisions for the nation.” Miss M cKee carried ont such a program in onr high school. M ocksville and D avie county have suffered an irreparable loss through the departure of this excellent teacher. E very school needs m ore teachers of the calibre of Miss M cKee.

PA R T O N (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) TSJEW YORK—Back in the days of Sockless Jerry Simpson and the Populists and the rock-and-sock battle between Wall Street and the Corn Belt,there was prairie heal­er and evan­ gelist named It Comes to Pass — Bankers Pick a Farmer to Lead Slater who scolded the farmers for their intemperate talk about the New York bankers, and said that when the millennium came they would be brothers again. The evangelist might have been locked up had he predicted that within four or five decades the board of directors of the New York Stock exchange would hire an Illinois farmer, with no experience in se­curities dealing, to be president of the exchange. These things came to pass, in the Rev. Mr. Slater’s scriptural par­lance. By unanimous vote of the board of governors, the $48,000-a- year exchange job is offered to Emil Schram, operator of the Hartwell Farms at Hillview, 111., and head of the Reconstruction Finance cor­ poration since July, 1939. As this is ,written there is word from Washing­ ton that Mt. Schram will accept the post. The tall, baldish, urbane, deep­voiced Mr. Schram has been es­teemed in Washington for his bi­ lingual accomplishments. It has been noted that he can talk to New Dealers and business men in their own language. Under the tutelage of Jesse Jones, who brought him into the RFC, and whom he succeeded as its head, he has served not only as a liaison between business and government, but between agri­ cultural and industrial interests. Shrewd onlookers in Wall Street are interpreting his call to the big board as a protective meas­ure by the governors. The idea is that he might be a shock ab­sorber as war tension brings more governmental regulation. Of the third generation of German immigrants, Emil Schram finished high school in Peru, Ind., and took a job as a roustabout and handy man in J. 0. Cole’s lumber and coal yard. By the time he was twenty-one, he was the bookkeeper for the business. Several years later, his employer took over 5,000 acres of swamp land on the Illinois river. He assigned his young bookkeeper the job of draining and developing the large tract of land. Within a few years, the yield from the land was run up from 6,000 Schram Proves bushels of corn per . Expert in Work year, to 140,- OfReclamation °°°’ " ‘‘J* other crop increases in proportion. Young Mr. Schram acquired a substantial inter­ est in the project, which became the Hartwell Land trust. Twenty tenant farmers have been on toe reclaimed land for more than 25 years. Mr. Schram’s first contacts with the federal government came in later years as he be­ came active in community drainage and reclamation proj­ ects, requiring federal co-opera­ tion. As chairman of the board of directors of the National Drainage association, he had dealings with the Hoover ad­ ministration, when the Illinois river was messing up farm lands in this vicinity, and loans for flood control and reclama­ tion were needed. The astute Jesse Jones made him chairman 1 of the drainage, levee and ir­ rigation division of toe RFC. He later was a swing man in va­ rious government activities, includ­ing the presidency of the Home and Farm authority, a TVA subsidiary. He made it pay. Recently Edward R. Stettinius “drafted” him as as­ sistant priorities administrator, to allocate raw materials for defense purposes. Mr. Schram is 48 years old, toe grandson of a woodworker. He is a Democrat, but he has never been active in politics, and has never been a candidate for office. William M. Martin Jr., the “boy president” of the Stock exchange, whom Mr. Schram will succeed, quit his lucrative job for $21 a month as a private in toe army. His term of office had been a good invest­ ment, but not solely because of toe $48,000-a-year salary. To take toe exchange presidency, he had to sell his seat, for several hundred thou­ sand dollars. Today’s sales of ex­ change seats at $20,000, the lowest since 1898, reveal young Mr. Martin as having played in luck, regard­ less of salary. Much of toe same to Mr. Schram.

By VIRGINIA VALE (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) M ARCH OP TIME camera­ men went on a long and perilous voyage to film some of the material used in “Crisis in toe Atlantic”—they went from Canada to England aboard a tanker in convoy. The film also includes toe first pictures to ar­ rive here from Greenland since that strategic island has become so important. “Crisis in toe Atlantic” vividly portrays the many aspects of toe struggle to keep toe sea lanes open Co that war materials and food can be sent to Britain, and depicts as well toe joint U, S.-Canadian defense efforts involving bases from toe Arc­ tic to toe South Atlantic. It’s a film scoop; don’t miss it! Brian Donlevy has been spending a lot of time learning to do some­ thing that will be quite useless in pri­vate life. In “The Great Man’s Lady,” a Paramoimt pro­duction, he plays toe part of a pro­fessional gambler, a master hand at cheating. And what makes it all toe more painful is the fact that Donlevy has an abhorrence of all card games, even the game of Authors. Brian Donlevy Anna NeagIe Bette Davis is at it again, play­ ing one.of the most unpleasant wom­en ever seen on the screen. It’s for “The Little Foxes,” RKO’s screen version of toe tremendously suc­ cessful play. It was RKO, you may recall, toat set Miss Davis squarely on her feet, dramatically, by casting her as toe heroine of “Of Human Bondage”—a role few actresses would have had toe courage to take. She took it, and made movie history. Anna Neagle does an entire dance number while submerged m a glass tank filled with wa­ ter in her new pic­ture, “Sunny.” Back in England she won medals for swim­ ming and diving, so she got into a scanty sequin cos- tume and combined her talents as a swimmer and a dancer. The story’s laid in New Orleans during the Mardi Gras,'and Ray Bol- ger and John Carroll head toe sup­porting cast. The under-water dance is a stunt new to pictures—new, as well, to Miss Neagle, we might add. At the age of 97 Bob Hope’s grand­ father is helping to extinguish incen­ diary fires in the English village where he lives. “My health at pres­ ent is much better than my disposi­tion,” he wrote his grandson. “I don’t mind staying'up at night to see your pictures, but I hate to have to miss my sleep just to put out some fires.” Meanwhile Bob is slated to do an­ other of those hilarious comedies with Paulette Goddard; it’s called “The Murder Farm,” and sounds as if it might even top “The Cat and toe Canary” and “The Ghost Break­ ers,” their previous collaborations. Agnes Moorehead, who'plays toe mother in Orson Welles’ remarka­ ble “Citizen Kane,” first encoun­ tered Welles when he was five and she was not much older. He strolled into a hotel lobby, with his father, describing a concert which he had just heard, and doing it so dramati­ cally toat she never forgot him. She makes her film debut in “Citizen Kane,” and gives a beautiful, sin­ cere performance. In fact, toe whole cast does that—you forget that the people on toe screen are acting, be­cause they seem so real. Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Taylor didn’t tell even their best friends that they were going off on toat West Indies cruise; waited un­ til just before toe boat sailed to send telegrams announcing their plans. It’s their first vacation to­gether in 18 months, and their sec­ ond trip together since they were married three years ago. They sailed as Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Brugh, hoping to avoid advance plans for ovations at their various ports of call.

W % BREAD TRICKS APLENTY!(See Recipes Below) ‘BREAD ’N’ BUTTER* Kiose new loaves of white bread featured on grocery store counters and in bakeries everywhere these days look just like the loaves of white bread you have been buying for years. But they’re different—they've been “vita- mineralized.” “How?” you ask. Through the use of enriched flour—a wheat flour which contains added vitamins and minerals.It was the Bureau of Home Eco­ nomics of the United States depart­ ment of agriculture which suggest­ ed, when flour standards here were under discussion, that fortified flour should contain a specified amount of vitamin BI and of iron, and that nicotinic acid, riboflavin and calci­um should be added. Because American dietaries lack chiefly B-vitamins and iron, the ac­ cent was placed here. The law is that each pound of Enriched Flour must contain at least 1.66 milli­grams of thiamin (BI); 6.15 milli­ grams of nicotinic acid (pellagra- preventing vitamin); and 6.15 milli­ grams of iron.So, now in addition to being the most versatile and economical en­ ergy-yielding food, bread also pro­ vides, in economical form, addition­ al nutrients essential to health. And, since bread is the one food that probably appears more often than any other on the family menu. I’m going to give you a variety of new and interesting uses for this “health food.”A good sharp knife, a loaf of good baker’s bread and your imagination will do wonders in developing, in your own kitchen, delicious crea­tions that make your menus full of new life and interest. Bread Buttercups.Remove the crusts from a loaf of uncut bread. Cut lengthwise slices from the loaf. Trim the slices so that they are about Vh inches wide and the ends pointed. Brush with an egg and milk mixture and ar­ range in baking cups. It is best to brush the tips with a little melted butter so that they will brown more readily. Bake the bread buttercups in a moderate oven until they are delicately browned. Pinwheel Sandwiches.Trim the crusts from a whole loaf of uncut bread; cut in lengthwise slices. Spread the slices with any desired spread of a creamy consis­ tency. Roll the bread firmly the narrow way. Small stuffed olives, nut meats or hard cooked eggs make an attractive center for the roll. The rolls should be tightly wrapped in waxed paper and chilled in the refrigerator before slicing.Croustades. Trim crusts from two or three slices of bread, making even-size squares. Remove the centers from ail but one slice. Dip in melted LYNN SAYS: Do your menus meet nutritive requirements, and appetite ap­peal, too? Careful, now. Here are 10 points on which to check your meals for appetite appeal:1. Avoid repeating the same food in one meal.2. Avoid serving more than one strongly flavored or highly sea­ soned food in a meal.3. Avoid using too much of one type of food in a meal—such as spaghetti as a main dish and rice pudding for dessert.4. Use as much texture con­ trast as possible—have some soft, some solid, and some crisp food in each meal.5. Get flavor balance in your menus by serving some sweet, some bland, and some acid foods each medl. 6. Serve some hot and some cold foods each meal.7. Serve foods whose colors look well together and avoid serving colorless foods in one meal. 8. Try to get contrast in size and shape in the foods served.9. Serve leftovers in a new form.10. Avoid serving the same food combinations too often. Serve some other tart fruit with your pork, instead of the stand-by ap­ plesauce. It’s Picnic Time - Has winter made you forget the wonderful, carefree afternoons spent along sparkling streams or in sunny meadows, munching hot dogs, dipping into baked beans and ice cream? It’s time to plan Sunday excursions and be lazy by eating off paper plates, with paper forks. And next week Lynn Chambers will delve into picnic atmosphere. Watch for her reci­ pes of good things to eat out-of- doors I butter, and put together to form square cases for creamed food.Bread Patty Cases. Cut three rounds of sliced bread.. Cut holes in two of them and place on the first slice. Brush with a mix­ture of egg and milk (I egg slight­ ly beaten plus Vi cup of milk) and bake in a moderate oven until brown. Checkerboard Sandwiches. Remove the crusts and spread the slices with soft butter, and any sandwich spread of paste consis­tency. Then, alternating the slices, make two stacks of three slices each —one with a whole wheat slice be­ tween two white slices and the other with a white slice between two whole wheat slices. Next, cut the two stacks into half-inch slices. Spread with soft butter and another flavor spread, and alternate them again,' making stacks of three-layer slices each. Press the stacks together, wrap each in wax paper and place in icebox to harden the butter: When ready to serve, cut crosswise into thin slices to give the checkerboard effect. Ribbon Sandwiches.Remove the crusts from four slices of bread, two white and two whole wheat. Put them together with different fillings, wrap in waxed paper and chill. Cut down through the four layers in thin slices to form a ribbon sandwich. Try these tricks very soon, won’t you? You’ll receive no end of compli­ ments on your ability to prepare these tasty and attractive “bread delights.” They are all pictured at the top of the column.^ • • • If you're weary of serving the usual type of sandwiches when you entertain, here are “fillers” that will bring such phrases as “May I have your recipe?” from fascinated guests.Egg Filling. 4 hard cooked eggs % cup' chopped cooked bacon or % cup stuffed olives Few drops Worcestershire sauce Cream or salad dressing Chop eggs, add bacon and Wor­cestershire sauce. Add enough cream or dressing to give a spread* ing consistency. Ripe Olive Filling. Use one cup ripe olives, minced; one cup finely diced celery; % Cl® minced nut meats, and salad dress­ ing to taste. Combine olives, celery and - nutroeats and moisten with dressing, then spread on bread. Sandwich Loaf. Trim crusts from a sandwich loaf of bread and cut in four lengthwise slices. Spread each slice with soft­ ened butter. For the three different fillings necessary, use any good combinations of flavor and color, such as minced ham and pickle, a yellow cheese mixed with finely- chopped green pepper, chives, pars­ley or watercress, and chopped to­ matoes and cucumbers, or a tuna or salmon mixture. Each of these fillings should be mixed with may. onnaise or softened butter so that it spreads easily. The loaf may be made several hours ahead of time if wrapped in waxed paper and kept in a cool place. Prior to serving it is iced on top, sides and ends w it'll cream cheese softened to spreading con­ sistency with wa­ter, milk or may­ onnaise. Garnish with slices of stuffed olive, sprigs of parsley oi endive. For serving, cut in thick slices. This loaf will serve 10 te 12 persons.(Released by Western Newspaper UnlaiU IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAyfCHOOL L e s s o n By BABOLD L. LUNDQUIST, D- D.

BROADENING CHRISTIAN HORIZONS: THE ANTIOCH MOVEMENT . LESSON TEXT--Acts 11:19-30.GOLDEN TEXT—For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that be* lieveth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.—Romans 1:16. Scattered abroad! As the flying sparks and embers from a fire which is wildly beaten will light many new fires, just so: persecution of the early Christians sent them abroad and established new centers for the preaching of the gospel. Verse 19 of our lesson connects with Acts 8:4. The ministry of Philip in Samaria was paralleled by that of others in Phenice, Cyprus, and now in Anti­ och. That great city was not far from Jerusalem, but it whs far from God. A mighty city, rich in trade, it was also deep in all kinds of sin; but there it pleased God to establish a great center of Christian testi­mony. God loves to do new things (see, for example, H Cor. 5:17; Isa, 43:19; Ps. 33:3; Rev. 21:5). I. A New Church (w. 19-21). What a splendid church it was! Here in the midst of the most evil surroundings the sweet flower of Christian faith grew, as it so often does. It was a church built upon.a faith­ful testimony by God’s chosen wit­ nesses “preaching the Lord Jesus” (v. 20). Their names are not noted, but their message is,- and its blessed results. It was a gathering place for all people—Jews and Gentiles. The disciples from Jerusalem preached at first only to the Jews, but God sent others (v. 20), who preached His grace to the Gentiles.Note also that the Antioch church was a living witness, “The hand of the Lord was with them”—little wonder then that “a great number believed and were turned to the Lord.” Your church—and mine— might learn much by studying the church at Antioch. II. A New FeUowship (w. 22-26). The genius of Christianity is fel­lowship. Those who have a religious belief which makes them exclusive —not willing to fellowship with other Christians—do not truly represent their Lord. When the church at Jerusalem heard the good news, they sent Bar­ nabas to help the new converts and establish fellowship. He was . the ideal man to send, for “ ‘he was a good man.’ It is far more -impor­ tant that a man be good than that he be brilliant if he is to edify young converts. He was ‘full of the Holy Ghost.’ He was also ‘full of faith,’ and no man that is not, need under­ take the work of instructing and developing young converts, especial­ly converts from heathenism so dark as that in Antioch. He, was free from the love of gold (4:36, 37). He was free from personal ambition and jealousy in his work (w. 25, 26). He was very sharp-eyed to see the sin­cerity and promise of a young con­ vert (9:27). ‘When he was come, and had seen the grace of God, (he) was glad’ ” (John W. Bradbury). Into this new fellowship of life and service the gracious and generous Barnabas brought a new evangelist —Saul, God’s prepared man for this hour. But we have another new thing in our lesson, one of great impor. tance. m . A New Name (w. 26-30). Christian, the beautiful name of those who follow Christ was first used at Antioch. It may have held a measure of contempt (see Acts 26:28; I Pet. 4:16), but it was a remarkably suitable name for those who had come out of paganism now to live, in their old surroundings, a new life, a separated life, the Dirist life. This name “combines Jewish, thought with Greek and Latin lan­ guage, and thus, like the inscription on Uie cross, bears witness to the universality of Christianity as a re­ligion for the whole world. The idea of ‘Christ’ (Messiah) is Jewish; the substantive ‘Christ’ (Christos) is Greek, and the adjectival termina­tion ‘ian’ (-ianus) is Latin . . . This new name was intended to in­ troduce and mark the difference be­ tween Jews and GenUles on the one hand, and those who. whether Jews or GentUes, were followers of Jesus Christ . . . The term ‘Christian’ evidently points to the Person of Christ, and to those who are asso­ciated with Him as His followers. It implies and involves union and close association with Christ” (W. H. Grif­ fith' Thomas). Those believers at Antioch not only bore the name, tbey practiced the life of Christ. Next Sunday we shall study their activity for Christ, for in that city began the great mis­ sionary movement which, goes on to our day. In our lesson today we have another practical expression of their faith. They gave of, their means, “every man according to his abilities,” to meet the need of their -•ew-found Jewish brethren in Judea. Jlsk Me Jlnolher # A G e n e r a l Q u i z 1.

C., MAY 28. 1941, More for Liquor Than Defense During the development of the present national emergency,' the country ha9 heard the phrase "all out” used with increasing frequency. Appeals are heard for “all out” aid for European democracies, and for “all out” efforts to strengthen na­ tional defense. The national W.C.T.U., which gave “all out” support to the gov* eminent during the war effort of 1917-1918, is won­ dering how the nation hopes to go “all out” in the present crisis as long as it con­ tinues to squan­der more money on booze than it appropriated for the initial Iend- lease program. The President asked for $7,000,- 000,000 to finance the lend-lease pro­ gram of “all out” aid to the de­mocracies. And the direct expenditures for intoxicating liquor by the American people, constantly encouraged Iqr government sanction and the trade’s unlimited promotion program, is daily diverting nearly $9,000,000 from retail merchants to the coffers of brewer, distiller, winemaker and their distributors. This adds up to well over $3,000,- 000,000 a year, and to thi« must be added the indirect cost which is greater yet, the economic drain re­ sulting from liquor lawlessness, crime, diseases, inefficiency, and premature deaths. In an address entitled "The Spe­ cial Cost of Alcoholism” delivered last December before the American Society for the Advancement of Sci­ence by Dr. Horatio M. Pollack of the department of mental hygiene of the State of New York, this in­ direct annual cost of liquor to the nation was placed at $5,000,000,000. How, they are asking at National W.C.T.U. headquarters, can any na­ tion gird itself for an “all out” ef­ fort toward any­ thing when it per­ mits itself to suf­ fer such a huge drain' on its re­ sources? Andhow can it expect to maintain efficiency in its mines and . factories and armed forces when liq­ uor in prodigious quantities is flaunt­ed attractively before those to whom we are entrusting our defense ef­forts? Before we really make an “all out” effort, we must deliver a “knock out” blow to the liquor in­ dustry which stands between us and the combination of strength and ef­ ficiency which will be needed to car­ ry us through the crisis ahead, the W.C.T.U. believes. A Health Toast— With Poison Outstanding medical authorities agree ,that alcohol is a poison. Which, to many thinlring Ameri­ cans, makes it “sort of funny*’ when a man raises a glass containing al­ cohol (a narcotic poison) and says: “To Your Health”. Social workers, medical research­ ers, church leaders, and others don’t thinkit’s “funny.” They think ifa tragic. They are logical people so they wander why states and the na­tion prohibit the _ sale of the white nbatalteastf druSs. such asWBat a Toast! ophjm mor_ phine, but permit the public sale and promotion of another narcotic,liquor. ALCOHOL CAN K ILL Bertha Rachel Palmer, director of scientific temperance instruction for the National W.C.T.U., says that, if alcohol is taken in sufficient quantify it will kill just as surely as a lethal dose of any other poison. Taken in less than lethal quantity, alcohol’s effect is to break down the body’s physical defenses. The average drinker's behavior is in direct proportion to the amount of alcohol in his blood—and not to whether he gets the alcohol from beer or wine or whisky. If there are two parts of alcohol to each 1,000 parts of blood, the av­ erage drinker’s normal inhibitions are numbed. He says or does the first thing which occurs to him. He may be silly or foolish, disagreeable, or unexpected. When he absorbs four parts of al­cohol to 1,000 parts of blood—well, his friends will have to take him home. He’s at the mutter and stag­ger stage. Another drop or so of alcohol- more than five parts to each 1,000 parts of blood— means a human blackout. It is the down-and-out or dead drunk stage. Not everyone sur­ vives fiie ensuing stupor. There is a real danger of death. A stronger concentration and death more frequently is a possi­bility. Poisons can be depended on; they don’t compromise. The drinker who proposes a toast to health is -really saying goodbye to itr "Homan Blackout” The Record is only $1.00.

Department of Agricnltnre figures show that Noitii Carolina farmers re­ ceived 8 per cent more plantfood per ton of fertilizer last year than in 1934 when the last survey on the subject was made. This was 15 per cent below the national average which has shown a shun upward trend since 1920. At that time the plantfood content in fertilizer was only 18.9; in 1929, it was tip to 17.5 per cent; by 1936, 18.2 per cent; today, it has jumped to 19.35 per cent. This means an increase of 39 per cent in plantfood content since 1920 and at the same time the farmer’s fertilizer bills have declined 41 per cent. AU this is due to improvement of mechanical conditions, manufacture of fertilizers better suited to different crops and soils, reduction of the mun- ber of grades of fertilizer, and other economies institued by the industry since that time.
