Em ergendeB o f U fe Rev. W alter E. Iaenhour. H iddenite.’N. C. As we go through lifetberecome to us emergencies from time to time. No one is exempt. They come to the rich and the poor, the high and the low, the ignorant and the wise, the educated and the ub educated, the good and the . bad. Thev come to alt classes and all eolors of mankind. An emergency, according to Web ster, is "Sodden or unexpected ap pearance; an unforeseen occurence An Unforeseen occurence calling for immediate action. Crisis, con. juncture, pinch, strait, necessity.’ Now that sounds familiar to os all. How many times does sudden sick ness come, sudden accident, trou­ ble, misfortune, loss of property, loss of friends, bad and distressing news, death in the home or among onr iriends and neighbors! We know this is true. In such times of distress and trial we may scarce­ ly know wbat u do, or may do the wrong thing, 01 may simply fail to act. In certain emergencies it is easy to lose self-control, or to be­ come unbalanced in judgment and the attitude we take. It means much indeed to keep our equili­ brium, our balance, our "head, our senses when the crisis of life come to us. Here is where we succeed or fail, rise or fall, win or lose oftentimes. Here is where we prove our strength or weakness, and our real self-life. Here is where is where we oftentime prove what we have been before the e- mergency came. Indeed this is so. Nothing so prepares us for the emergencies of life as faith in Christ. If we are well prayed up; if we have loved and served, worshipped and adored Him in times of easy traveling and smooth sailing; if we have had sweet communion with Him along life’s pathway, and have lived to do His will, then whan the emerfiencies of life come we can calmly, sweetly, blessedly, serene­ ly and confidentiallp lean upoh His everlasting and mighty arms and say, "For this I have Jesus.” He will keep us from doing rash things and from making the wrong decis­ ions, and from taking the wreng attitude. He will make the emer­ gencies of life a blessing to us. Hallelujah! We can put Him be. tween ns and emergencies and feel that their dreadful blows are ward, ed off, mitigated and stayed. How wonderful to be able to sey from one’s heart and soul at all times, and under all circumstances, "For this I have Jesus.” Kennedy, Iconoclast Do not be surprised if you hear Congressman Martin J. Kennedy of New York is being given the po­ lar stare and that some of his coi leagues make snooty faces or fail to speak when they pass by. He is apt to be a lonely outcast, a ver­ itable pariah with nobody in the capitol at Washington to g|ve him even a stingy howdy. He has done the unheard of. He has broken the unwritten law. He has failed to be clubby. His dread ful offense is one that bis nerve shocked colleagues will have a bard time forgiving or forgetting. Even sack cloth and ashes will not ap­ pease them. This rash brash man has actually introduced a bill in Congress to pay its members on the basis of $ 2 5 per pay for each day they ate in ses­ sion, instead of the 10,000 lettuce leaves per annum they now' enjoy. He estimates this would rcdnce their salaries to about $5,000 . and thereby set the nation a noble ex­ ample of self-sacrifice. Here'is where we offer to bet our best-laundried fancy shirt his colleagues trill refuse to be noble Salisbury Post. To Print or Not To Print. Wilkes Patriot. ' It is just as much the problem of an editor to select wbat not to print as it is to select wbat to print. .A newspaper is not under com­ pulsion of law to print everything every reader wa.ts published Every day a newspaper has the privilege of publishing many items which it leaves that would not warrant the space they would fill. More is rejected than is publish­ ed, making the task of selection more difficult. One test which can be pot to a majority of items is the number of readers who would be Interested in the articles under consideration. In other words, what percentage of the potential circulation would be interested enough to read the arti cle? Of course, there is also the element of the type of readers who would be interested and that would have some bearing on the question of to print or not to print. To better continue discussion of this subject we reprint the follow ing comment from The Marlon Progress. The functions of the editors is to select as wisely as they .. can, the news, features and material that serves the groupes of pco pie, while news of a church in Ma rion is published no effott is made to keep the public informed as to the progress of Mohammedanism. 'Naturally, if news editors of a newspaper think that the public is vitally concerned with developments concerned with developments con­ nected with shipbuilding, they will secure and print news about ship­ building. Having' determined the topic to be handled, the news editor will attempt to give a fair picture of the existing situation, without distortion and without ulterior mo. tives. ‘‘In the editorial columns of a newspaper, on the other hand, the editor is allowed considerable Iati- tude. He can, and to some extent is expected, to parade his reflec­ tions noon public affairs Some years ago it was considered that an editor must be a crusading partisan, seeing nothing except good an j evil, in men and measutes. Today, fortunately, intelligent editors are not inclined to bias, prejudice and blind partisanship. 'So far as the editorials of this paper are concerned, the effort is directed towards information rather than abuse, denunciation and in- sinnations. We have no hope ot converting the general public to the total acceptance of our views. While we intend to express our­ selves honestly, - when we came to bat, we are quite willing for every, body else to disagee whole bearted- Iy with what we write.” Boogied Priorities. As has frequently been pointed out here and as is becoming appar ent daily, the unplanned priorities effort has been botched and bungled and' complaints off sufferers thronghoht the country are rising like a tide. How long can this kind of con­ fusion, high-handed fumbling, deadly error and smirking hypo­ crisy go on in this democracy with­ out somebody being called to ac­ count by the people through their their Congress? I don’t know, bnt it is a cinch it can’t go on forever. —Hugh Johnson in the New York World-Telegram. SMAHTMC KNOWS WHERE TO , r (30 AFTER Vl READING TREADS, WTHIS BoostOrMove If you don’t like living in your own town, for the sake of the com­ munity get out of it. The local paper is. about an even hundred times better than the support you give it. The town government is what you make it. The streets are in a far better condition than the returns von made to the tax asses­ sor are accurate. Your competitor is just as good a man financially aod morally as you are. The stores handle just as good a stock of mer chandise as the trade demand. They sell these goods just a little bit cheaper than von can buy them elsewhere. The little children are just as happy, the women just as pretty, the grass just as green, the flowers just as fragrant and oppor­ tunities are more abundant right at home than any known spot en the universe. ' If you are so blind­ ed by envy, hatred, tnalace or pet­ ty jealousies, or you can’t do wbat you have willed to do at home, go to that place where the environ­ ments are in accord with your na­ ture. Don’t stay in a town and knock it. If you haven’t the pa­ triotism of yonr forefathers nor the co-operativ spirit of the present generation, you are not going to be much of a factor anywhere. Prices Rises Being Off­ set On Farms. Prices on clothing are keeping step with other necessities of life and as these prices rise members ot Home Demonstration Clubs and 4-H Club girls are doing all they can to offset the increase, says Willie N. Hunter, of Raleigh, extension clothing spe cialist. One of the first "offsetters” is more garments made at home. The new styles with their smart simpli­ city are making life very pleasant for the woman who sews, and any woman or girl can sew if she wants to. The patterns today give so much help and are so easy to follow that an amateur can easily make a dress. Club members are findinfi there is a saving in making almost any gar. 'ment, but that the greatest saving comes from making the better cloth­ es. It is possible to buy a cotton house dress for $1 readymade; however, 75 cents to $1 invested in material and made into a dress gives a much more satisfactory garments. Tbematerial of the home-made dress will be much better quality, it will outlast several of the cheap readymades. The greatest saving comes in mak­ ing the better dreBses and suits. Five to 10 dollars invested in material and made up at home will give outfits that compare favorably with $15 to $26 readymades. Many lovely dress suits and coats have been msde by Home Demonstration dub mem­ bers and 4-H club girls this fall. Buying practices — what to buv. when and where—are other pointers that club women and girls are study­ ing. This means the good buyer does a lot of planning. Knowing how to buy prevents many costly mistakes. In buying materials some of the things looked for are: the weave, the simpler the construction, the more desirable the tabric is likely to be. Thewafp and woof threads should be of equal Strength. Threads that are~fine one way and coarse in the other, give a fabric that will not bold up well. Novelties in weaves, in kinds and sizes of yarns, in construe* tionof different fibers are usually poor buys.. A plain weave with yarn of equal size both ways is called a balance doth, and a balanced cloth wears well. - Clothing care is one of the points given great emphasis by club wom­ en in considering clothing costs. ,De­ monstrations on care repair spot and stain removal, cleaning, Iaundrying and mending have been popular dub demonstration-this fall.

Iisbed in the United States it must naturally follow that it must apply tp all phases of industry and agri­ culture. Wages and prices in all phases of industry, labor, and agri­ culture must be controlled. Price fixing, without the control of wages tn all occupations acd the control of farm prices, ts doomed to failure. Wben wages go up, prices go up. When prices go up, the ever-in­ creasing chorus demanding highe wages in all occupations is met by granting higher wages. Then prices go up again, and the vicious infla­ tion cycle is in fnll swing. It is as simple as all that. Granted that the United States working man may have more money for consumer goods than be ever bad. But bow much better off is he? A man may be happy today because he baa ten dollars, due to a raise in wages, where iast year be had onlv about five dollars. Pro­ bably last year he was getting five dollars for the same amount of work and could buy the same article then tor five dollars that be muist pay ten dollars for today. Why should the man be any happier over the five dollar raise, and how much in wages has the man.actually gained? Higher prices for- food and cloth­ ing result in a higher cost of living. This results in a demand by all for higher living wages. Tbe factory meets increasing wages. The fac­ tory meets increasing wages bv boosting its price levels The farm­ er is forced to pay more for these goods, so be feels justified in being paid a parity price for his products. The worker then is fo-ced to pay more for his food and clothing, and feels the right to ask more wages. And there the cycle is completed, only gaining more speed for another revolution. Most important theo if we are to curb this inflation cvcle, is to control wages and farm prices as well as industrial prices. Neg* Iect of wages and farm prices and their contributions t o inflation makes price fixing an aosurdity. There is one thing of note about the present defense boom. There is .plenty of spending money in the public pockets. But any surplus funds should certainly go right hack in this nation’s defense—into defense bonds and into the retire­ ment of aov old debts. Jhe aver age wage earner can sacrifice and sive if be has the Intent, and all sacrifice and saving should be directed back toward a national ef­ fort in the nresent emergeucy. In doing this, the wage earner secures his own future as well as that of bis government. Hunting Season Opens In Many Sections.

A; No one can deny that the continual ous serief of defense strikes a n d-A threats oPstrikes constitute a grave'??' internal problem. Nnr can it be de'.'A, nied that this problem is the direct result of President Roosevelt’s lack of courage in facing the labor issue squarely. In the past, Mr. Roosevelt has been I more than just to labor. He has openly catered to it. granting it con- :>>' tinuaily increased immunity and pri- *.-?, vilege in return for votes and cam- *.<; paign funds. The Defense Media- - & tion Board which Mr. Roosevelt en- J trusted with the task of dealing with *; strikes during the emergency was deliberately hamstrung by lack of ^ authority. The'Board was created £ because public opinion forced it as a y gesture on the part of the P.esident j but the Board never was given a -J clear cut, fair policy on which to base its decisions. It was no more able to meet the labor question squarely than its creator was willing. . And so today, and tomorrow, and the next day there will he no “solu­ tion” to the vital labor problem Whichthecourifvfaces. ThereiTan be no solution until the President is willing to face the issue with cour­ age and determination. He must forget the New Deal philosophy of “make sure of the votes” at all costs. He must rise above his own record of temporizing and vacillation. If Mr. Rooseveltdcesnotmeetthe issue the security of the Nation will be endangered Some Job! The defense program gets bigger and bigger all the time. I have se*-n it grow from a seven-billion dollar program until today sixty billions are approbated. Today it is taking seven teen Jper.cen t of our natiooal income—rtmuively small at the mom­ ent—and it will undoubrly get up to somewhere around forty or forty- five per cent of the national income: We have undertaken the job of helping Great Britian get the things she wants. We have undertaken the job of giving Russia the things which she needs to keep fighting. We have undertaken the job of giving China aid the Dutch East Indies—in fact any country that is fighting the Axis powers. We haye to keep the South American economy going because of Western Hemisphere, defense, and because we are asking them to give us all of the raw material which they have and not give' it to anyone else; and in return they demand at least that hey be treated as our own citi­ zens are treated with respect to their own domestic economy. When you add all that up, it is really some job we have undertaken! I am not questioning at the moment or not debating with you whether we should or should not have done it; that is an academic question today. We have done it, therefore there is nothing to do but to fulfill the pro­ mise we have made.— Donald M. Nelson, Director of Priorities. v MOCKSVJLLE, N.

SARATOGA . are pictured as they line up for Cap-\ tain’s inspection. Aircraft carriers in the U. S. Navy are called “covered wagons” because their miniature half-acre airfields serve as the top­side decks for their hangars beneath' and form the largest covered decks of any type ship in the Navy. At the present time the U. S. Navy has six carriers in operation from any one.of whose decks as many as seventy-four planes can be launched in eighteen minutes and can be landed in slightly more than twice this time. In spite of their great height and Iengtn, these carriers are officially credited with designed speeds of from 29. to 84 knots, much is nearly that of the destroyers.With new Navy shipB of all de­scriptions being launched at the rate of at least one every ten days, the Navy and Naval Reserve need men and offer opportunities for any quali­fied young man to receive free spe­cialised training worth hundreds of dollars while receiving excellent pay from the first day of enlistment. /'LL BUY THAT SHOT- \ GUN NOW* I S0LD50MEj STUFF FftOM THE ATTIC Jt ,WITH A WAWTADIr*- I?.- SeU “White Elephants _ Buy What You WaatI NEW MONEy TOR YOUR OLD THINGS u» - - - - wv» U--U Flaaa, BaMu HhysIaTeeIv Ise Nai,' cm he esM etih A WANT A l III T R E Y H A V E T H E IR C A K E A N D E A T IT In the case of some profitable farm practices it is actually possi­ ble to reverse the old adage And make it read “You can have your cake and eat it, too.” Thia is particularly true in the case of farmers who are following recom­ mendations of their county agents ami apply fertiliser to their fall wheat crop. By doing so they not only will get increased yields of wheat but also add fertility for the following year’s hay crop. “It is not infrequent for the in­ creased yield of clover and other hay crops which follow fertilized wheat to be sufficient to pay for the whole fertilising operation,” according to H. R. Smalley, Directim of Soil Improvement Work, The National Fertilizer Association. On a demonstration farm in Michigan, the increased yield of alfalfa hay during a two-year pe­ riod following wheat which was. fertilized with complete fertilizer, amounted to 3,771 pounds of hay. At the average price of alfalfa hay, the increase is worth $19.00 an acre for the two years.One of the best ways to start a high-producing pasture is to fertil­ ize the wheat crop heavily this fall and seed the pasture next spring. In an experiment at Wooster, Ohio, an application of 460 pounds of fertilizer gave an increase of 18 bushels of wheat and more than doubled the pasture yield for peveral years following.

By Edward Tomunsor IN SHTB ef great number* of active Y Gmnana and Italians, Nazi-Faacist pressure has had leas effect in the Andean republics of Chile and Peru than In the countries of the east coast Italia's in Peru have tried to court favor with government through influential nationals in that country. Thtir Fascist friends from Spahi have attempted to woo the aristo­ cratic conservatives by harping on the importance of cultural ties with the Old World. Although ardent in its support of the fatherland, the large German colony In Chile has exerted little or no influence upon the political policies of President Pedro Aguirre Cerda and his govern­ ment Geography and local politics have been among the chief stumbling blocks to non-American political ac­ tivities In these countries. Unlike the countries to the east, the Pacific coast nations are not particularly worried about an Axis attack by force. In­ genious N ans and Fascists n a y con­ceive of the possibility of attacking Brazil and. Argentina and maintain­ing seabound transportation to them, but it is hardly possible that any of them can see a way of getting suffi­ cient naval forces to the west coast of the continent to carry out a suc­ cessful attack, or back up any coup d’etat they might help to effect. Liberal Trend In West They also find in western South America a strong tendency toward liberal and even radical government The Leftist, or Popular Front, ad­ministration and Congress in Chile are just the opposite of a Fascist re­ gime. Peru, under the administra­ tion of President Manuel Prado, is experiencing the most liberal and democratic regime in twenty years. But Nazi propagandists continue to battle us on the economic front in Chile and Peru. Here as else­ where they lose no-opportunity to play up the difficulties Of trade with the United States. They point to the copper industry as the great exam­ ple of now the Yankees get control of the great national resources of a country, the products of which the United States does not need and can­ not buy. Many. Chileans themselves remind us of this situation and its results. "You own," a Chilean official told me recently, “the world's largest copper mine, located 10,000 feet up in the Andes, at Chuquicamata, ChQe. Youi- copper investments in this republic alone run into the hun­ dreds of millions. You also built up the great copper industry in Peru. Copper is the largest industry and the largest export from each of these two countries. Yet in normal times practically none of this product can be sold in the United States. Markets must be foiind for it in other parts of the world.” BQien reminded that in the emer­ gency the United States is purchas­ing large quantities of nitrate and iodine from Chile, great quantities of copper from both countries, and is likely to continue to do so for some time, Ihsy reply, “Yes, but wo are thinking not only In terms cI the present crisis but. of our future economic welfare.” The Naris repeat , and amplify the same sentiments and add that with the coming of peace (and of course with a victorious. Germany}’ the na­ tions of the “New Order,” all under the leadership of tiie Naris, will need copper and. many other Chilean products. “When this war broke out,” they say, “Germany had, through its trade, become a tremendous factor in Odle1S economic life. She was buying minerals in increasing quan­ tities; More important still, she was buying wool, wines, timbers and beans, an important export, all of which put profits into the pockets of native Chilean farmers and peasants, instead of the coffers of rich for­eigners.” The solution to the problem of our commercial relations with both Chile and Peru, or the possibility of reliev­ ing them from European economic pressure, is by no means easy. For­tunately, we mU still be a large mar­ ket for nitrate of soda and iodine, ChQe also possesses important depos­ its of manganese of the finest grade. Idke Argentina and Uruguay, if as­ sured a steady market she could in­ crease the production of carpet wool and sheep and lamb skins, as well as animal furs; CbUe is one of the orig­ inal homes of *the chinchilla, one of the rarest of all fur-bearing animals. There are possibilities for the in- creucd purehaie in thii country of ChQean fruits. In December, Janu­ ary and February, during the dead of our winter, ahe produces the fin­ est of peaches; apiisots, plums and melons. FenYaaadhmiRowee To the Peruvians, Nazi agents print out that when the war is over; the United States will buy practical­ ly none of their copper; on the other hand, Germany and all Europe will need it and can buy most of Peru’s exports. Fortunately^, for us, Peru­ vian economy is tnuch more diversi­fied than that of her neighbor, Chile. She possesses, or is capable of pro­ ducing a number of important ma­ terials which we buy from near American countries. Aride from cop­ per and ril, she is a large producer of silver and gold and has the world’s leading source of vanadium. Peru alone could supply us with our en­tire needs of vanadium in the years to come. She also has considerable zinc resources and antimony, both at present strategic products. She has recently gone in for the production of fiber flax, an industry which is receiving encouragement and expert advice from the United States De­partment of Agriculture. Our own production of fiber flax is rather small, so that the larger portion of our annual consumption of 7,000 tons has come from Europe.

It seems that some people are born stingy. We notice this dis. position in littlechildren whoreallv do not know what it means, and do not know it is in them. They are stingy with their plav things, and don’t want other children to play with them; stingy with their candy and other eatables. It is very noticeable. This carnal prin­ cipal is there, and will fotlow them through life unless taken .out by the grace and power of God. Then we notice that there are those who seem to be born liberal. In early life they are liberal with tl cir possessions. It seems that they want other children to share with them. They are good to let their playmates share tn their play­ things. They willingly and gladly divide their eatables . with them. And as they go through life the same liberal spirit seems to' possess them. They never manifest selfish­ ness. They give liberally of their earthly substance to their neigh­ bors, to their frieads and loved ones, to their brothers and sisters in the Loid, to the poor and needy, to orphans and widows, to the sup­ port of the Gospel at home and a- broad, and for the advancement of the Master’s cause and kingdom. It seems that the very spirit of lib­ erality follows them all through life. Instead of being a burden to them to give to their fellowmen, and to God’s cause, it is a great pleasure , They delight to earn means with which to support and finance the church, the Gospel and missions both at borne and abroad, and to help as much as possible ev­ ery good and worthy cause. Of course to be born liberal won’t save one’s soul. Every one must be “born again,*' as Jesus toM Ni- codemus. That is, they1 must have a spiritual birth before they can en. ter into the kingdom of God when they have reached the age of re­ sponsibility, where they know good from evil, right from wrong, and wbete they should make a choice. Little children and babes who die before they reach the age of ac­ countability and responsibility be fore God, are saved. Jesus said: "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid tbem not; for of such is the kingdom of God.’’ The atoning blood of Jesus Christ atones for the inbred sin of the child, therefore God receives them into His heavenly kingdom when they die. However, when a child grows up where he knows good from evil, then, be must repent and be born of the Spirit of God before he is fit for the kingdom of God. Liberal­ ity, as good as that is, won’t take the place of the new birth and vital salvation But all thote who are really and truly horn again, and are cleansed and purified In heart, m ine, soul and spirit through Ibe blood of Christ, or sanctified, cer­ tainly have a liberal spirit. Salva­ tion takes all selfishness and stin­ giness out of one’s . heart. Praise God. But to be born stingy, and to keep that trait, characteristic, prin­ cipal and spirit all the way through life is certainly a serious matter. Yet we have many people who pro­ fess to be Christians that are very close fisted, stingy and selfish. They barely squeeze out a little some­ thing occasionally to others, and to the cause of God, and; maybe be­ grudge even thatJ Why, Gbd can’t bless them'spiritually. We. hardly see how He can bless them with anything. Poor souls. How they need to repent, beg God for forgiv. ness Of all their sins, and let God save them through and through, and sanctify, them so good that it will be their greatest pleasure to give bonntifolly and liberally to God’s wonderful cause, and fo the C o rn H n sk in g In O rd e r "Most .of the farmers have finish, ed sowing their wheat crops, gath. ing their corn and a number are en. gaged in hnskings—removing the shucks from the ears,’’ as it was claimed back more than a half cen­ tury ago. One farmer said bis tenants bad been delayed In maketing all their tobacco on account of wheat seed­ ing and gathering their corn. He also contended that he had a fine crop of corn, both on the upland and in the bottoms. “ I doubt if the farmers have as much fun and are as well fed as the old time shucking during my boyhood days,’’ exclaimed a citi­ zen who spent most of his early days on the farm. He then related his story about how the farmers after hauling their corn from the fields to tbe barn lots, then invited his'neighbors, white and black, to assist him in getting his crop in readiness for dupming the ears into the crib, “lust before a big sup per was served, by tbe women folks the owner of the place would gen­ erally bring out a good-sized brown or grey jug containing "pure li­ quor,’’ the only kind that was made back in those days. "Oh, my, how those ’sfauckers’ made away with the chicken pies, which were considered one of the favored dish es,” be went on to say. He men. tioned that often a pig, young beef or lamb'was killed for these occa­ sions. He also came near forget­ ting that pumpkin pie should not be overlooked at these sbuckings. The old fellow also mentioned that so far as he knew, very little whisky is served these days at tbe huskings, but apple pie and cider is now the favored driok. In concluding his story, be said that at those huskings a long time ago, after the men finished their work, they generally engaged in wrestling matches and some occa­ sionally ended in fist fights—Twin City Sentinel. K e e p O n G n a rd In our desire and—frankly, our need —for Russian success, we must be on guard against tbe danger of polluting our thinking by accept­ ing any unjustified friendly picture of Russia. Let us take a leaf from the book of the English, who re­ fused recently to permit the Com munist paper in England to resume publication because they know tbe Communists are disloyal to Eng­ land. The British leaders are not trying to hoodwink the English people. The Communists here.are just as disloyal to Ahierica. They always have been and always will be —Alf M. Landon. poor and needy of eartbl That is just what they need, and that wbat God can do for them, and has in store for them. Some people are so stingy until they won’t treat themselves rigat, much less others They won’t bar dly eat enough to keep up their strength, and especially it they have to spend money for it. They won’t bardlv dress decent and sufficient to keep themselves comfortable. We wonder wbat they are going to do with their means They won’t give anything to God’s cause, and yet they know they can’t take any­ thing with them when thev leave this world. They won’t help build churches and schools, nor support orphanages, nor give to the poor and needy, nor support missionar­ ies You might think they are lay. ing up money, and providing for old age; but some of the closest, stingiest people you ever see are old people. They are too stingy to hardly live themselves. This is an absolute fact. They are going to die and leave it all soon, and I fear, lose their precious souls. ‘Shocking* W a ste D e sc rib e d .

The committee recently beard two days of testimony at Memphis .and re­ opened hearings here yesterday with the stories of two formerj gov ernment employees who left the project last June because, they said, they could not tolerate the way things were run." I T. D. Thomas, former chief.audi- tor, testified that Major Paul Brew er, constructing quartermaster sub. sequently transferred, bad a num­ ber of bis own appointees put on the contractors’ pay roll because they were paid salaries the govern­ ment wouldn't tolerate’’ although the governm ent' “ paid everything in the long run."

Remember the good old days when a blackout did not mean any­ thing more than engine trouble at tbe electric power house. It doesn’t frighten Republicans to read in Democratic papers that "the Republican party is in the last ditch.” Democratic edi.ors says lots of things besides tbeir prayers An Ohio minister has invented bottle which cannot be refilled.

Frequently, be added, men reported for work and found nothing to do and sometimes re­ ceived double time while thus! idle. Thomas testified that Brewer, an assistant and a secretary drove to Milan Wells, Tex., in three se­ parate automobiles rented at gov. ernment expense. When the rent­ al exceeded tbe cost of tbe cars, Thomas added, the government bought two of tbem for $1,453 each and the third for $1,395 when they could bave been purchased new at $1,050 each.

Pecksniffian Britishers al­ ready are saving that America is trying to "buy .itf way out of the war ” We might as well face tbe fa:ts. Aid to tbe democracies is neither lended nor leased. It will be giv­ en. And like a lot of other loans, the recipients ultimately will resent it, and, conscience-stricken, will no doubt denounce the very aid they sought so assiduously. But that is not the important point The fact is, tbe overwhel­ ming majority of people in the country want Hitler and Mnssolini stopped.. We cannot help merely by a banking transaction. It is go ing to take more aid than any country—already stiatned by war itself—can ever repay.

For seven years abundant crops were harvested. Instead of putt ing a tax on farmers who produced large croos of wheat and corn, or comnelling them-to plow up every third row.- Joseph purchased the surplus grain and had great ware­ houses built in which to store it. Following the seven plenteous years along came seven lean years, with­ out rain, in which practically no crops were harvested. When grain ran short tbe storage houses were opened and corn was sold to the Egyptians and others throughout that famine — stricken country. Had it not been for Joseph’s far­ sightedness, hundreds of thousands of men, women and children would have starved. W hy not begin sior ing up provisions in this country?

I was equal­ ly puzzled by the scolding of two Canada jays that hopped about a dwindled campfire beside which ^tood a skillet and a coffeepot. Then I looked at the shoulder pack lean­ ing companionably against the bal­ sam bed on which I lay, and then out at the panorama of the snow- clad mountain peaks that sparkled in the morning sunlight. It wasn’t until I studied and rec­ ognized the second blanket that cov­ ered me against the morning chill that I was able to orient myself. And then I remembered. That tar­ paulined lean-to belonged to Sock- Ey e. And that second blanket be­ longed to Sidney Lander. And Qiat stream which raced down between the gravel bars and silt beds of the valley bottom was Big Squaw Creek. It was running strong, at the height of the summer thawi and as it tum­ bled over bar and boulder I could hear the noise of its hurrying in the clear mountain air. Then a second sound intruded on the morning quietness. It was a faint and far-off drone that grew stronger as it rose and fell with the vagaries of the breeze. It became a throb of power, a purposeful and electrifying throb that promptly took me out from beneath m y blankets. It took me scurrying down to the open cliff edge that overlooked the Big Squaw where the racing waters tore at the base of a cut bank. There,,between the towering peaks, I could see the small and toylike plane that grew bigger as it came nearer, sometimes dark and some­ times bright in the crystalline sun­ light through which it arrowed. I shouted and waved, as it throbbed overhead, for I knew it was Slim Downey and his ship. The solitude, of a sudden, seemed less oppressive. I no longer wor­ ried as to the whereabouts of my two camp mates. For there above m e, defying time and space, was an engined shuttle that could weave mountains and rivers together and carry us out of the wilderness. But the plane went on, without sign or signal. And, for a moment, m y heart sank. Then I gave a lit­ tle cry of relief. For I saw how the tilted wings were dropping lower, banking and heading back into the breeze over the irregular silver ex­ panse of Cranberry Lake. And even before its pontoons heeled down on that surface of ruf­ fled silver I remembered that Slim could come to a landing only on wa­ ter. And Cranberry Lake was the water that lay nearest the Chaki- tana claim and the Big Squaw. My first impulse, at that happy discovery, was to find Sidney and shout the good news to him. He and Sock-Eye, I assumed, were somewhere down along the claim limits, probably checking up on measurements and monuments. So I moved out to the cliff edge, scan­ ning the valley for some sign of life. I even gave a gulp of gratitude at the thought that noonday would see us joining Slim and his waiting plane and night would see us whisked back to a world of men and women and orderly life. My searching gaze coasted the valley bottom, and then the oppos- fog hill slopes, and then the nearer tooken ground through which the Big Squaw twined. But I saw noth­ ing. I saw nothing until some obscure sixth sense prompted me to turn and study the rock ridge along which I had edged my way out to the cliff front. Slowly over the dark curve" of that ridge I saw a hand appear, and groping fingers feel for a hold there. Then another hand showed itself, followed by a. body that quietly wormed its way up over the ridge crown. I thought, at first, it was Sock- Eye. But in that, I soon knew, I was mistaken. For there was some­ thing so malignant and reptilelike in that crawling advance I felt it must be the movement of an ene­ m y, even before I caught sight of the short-barreled rifle-trailing be­ side the flattened body. At my instinctive cry of alarm that flattened figure ‘abruptly lost its stealthiness. It dropped over the ridge wall, caught up the rifle and stood foursquare in front of m e, with a low laugh of derision. I knew then it was Ericson. And my blood chilled a s‘I fell back step by step as he advanced. He laughed again when he saw me come to the cliff edge, where I could go no far­ ther. He looked gaunt and harried and a little mad. But what troubled me most was a snakelike air of fortitude about him, the careless persist­ ent knowledge of some venoirious power in reserve. "You can’t get all the breaks, bright eyes,”' he said as he confront­ ed me with his crooked smile. And the mockery in it, the familiar old tone of flippancy, still had the pow­ er of sending a wave of nausea through my body. ‘•What .axe you *o do?” J TBB SIOBT 80 PAB Lander Bnds Salarla.

Sock-Eye Schlupp, old sourdough INSTALLMENT XlX said, ashamed of the quaver in my voice. Still again Ericson laughed. Solitude, I felt, bad played tricks with his mind. “I’m going to get what’s coming to m e,” he proclaimed, after a quick but pointed survey of the valley be­ low us. “And you’re it.” ' “I’ve done nothing to you,” I cried, trying to keep my hands from shaking. “Oh, yes, you have,” was his hate- embittered answer. “And more than once. But I told you I wouldn’t al­ ways be the underdog. And this deal I’m not.” His movement was quietly delib­ erate as he pumped bis rifle. “You’re not going to kill me?” I gasped. “That’d be too easy,” he an­ nounced. “But it’s wise, my dear, to be ready for the unexpected. Come here.’ “But this isn’t human,” I cried. “It can’t do you any good. It can’t get you anywhere.” He cut those cries of protest short. “Come here,” he commanded, with a new and deadlier'sort of in­ tentness. I could feel m y brain telling my feet to obey, to take the steps de­ manded before that menacing smaU “O” at the end of a rifle barrel could spit death in my face. But my feet refused to move. “Come here,” repeated my ene­ my, with a note of wildness in his voice. “Wait!’ I called out, foolishly. I even more foolishly fell back a step or two, in an instinctive retreat of fear. And that, my brain told me, was a mistake. For I could see the barrel end steady and the hate-twist­ ed face press closer to the balanced gunstock. I knew what was coining; and I cried out, without willing that cry, as m y body forlornly stiffened to re­ ceive its shock. But through that call of helpless­ ness came a sharper sound, a shaTp bark that produced an incredibly abrupt change in the poised figure confronting me. I saw the rifle fall, I saw Ericson throw up his hands and suddenly twist about in a ludi­ crously frantic half-circle. His hands were still above his head as his legs crumpled under him. And for one uncertain second he bal­ anced on the cliff edge, like a tight­ rope-walker fighting for equilibrium on some fragile footway. Then I saw the collapsed body tumble over the cliff edge. It went sprawling and rolling along the steep cut bank until it struck the waters of the Big Squaw, where the current caught it up and churned and tossed it, with now an arm showing and now a leg, along the white-water course that twisted between its shouldering banks. I was conscious of Sock-Eye stand­ ing at my side, leaning almost non­ chalantly on his long-barreled rifle. “He’s dead,” I gasped, staring at the ehuming'water-course that had swallowed up that receding tangle of limbs. “I had t’ git him,” announced Sock-Eye, “or he’d a-got you.” “But you’d no right to shoot a man,” I cried, still shaking from shock, scarcely knowing what I was saying. Sock-Eye reached out and quietly pulled me back from the cliff edge. “There’s times, girlie, when a hombre’s got t’ make his own laws out here in the hills. And this was friend of the Coburns, did the shooting. Be thought it was a Trumbull plane. Trum­ bull had planted Erie, the Red, at Bw scene, (or dirty work, Sock-Eye lnforav them warningly. And now comes the final threat one o’ them times, I’m thinking.” “But you killed him,” I repeated, leanmg on the shaggy old shoulder beside me. Sock-Eye’s laugh was low and mirthless but altogether untroubled. “That ain’t botherin’ me none,” he said. “Any jury north o’ Fifty- Six’d say that snake killed hisself.’* My earlier sense of homelessness < and helplessness swept back on me. I knew a craving for security where no security was to be found. “Where’s Sidney?” I cried out in that tightening clutch of desolation. "I want Sidney.” “I’m here,” called Sidney’s voice, close behind me. He was out of breath from his hurried climb up the hillside. But there was steadi­ ness in the arms which he clasped about my swaying body. I could feel the throb of his heart and the subsiding panting of his IiUigs as he held me close to him. And those quieting hammer throbs of strength slowly beat the terror of homelessness out of my own ham­ mering heart. “Don’t leave m e,” I said as my arms tightened about him. “We’ll always be together, after this,” he said. His arms closed about me again and I shut m y eyes as I felt his lips on my lips. It was Sock-Eye’s voice that brought time and the world back to me again. “I reckon it’s a pot o’ coffee you two cheechakos need t’ steady you down a bit,” he observed. “And while I’m wrastlin’ that, jus’ kind o’ remember there’s a bush hawk’s still waitin’ for you over t’ Cran­ berry Lake.” It took Sidney a little time 40 come back to earth. But he still clung to my hand. “And what’ll you do?” he ques­ tioned the old-timer. “Head back to Matanuska?” “Back t’ that mess 0’ misfits?” was Sock-Eyes answer. “Not on your life. I’ve got me two burros outspanned over in the next valley bottom and I’m a-goin’ t’ mosey out t’ the open hills where I belong.” “But you can’t do that, Sock- Eye,” Sidney objected. “You’re go­ ing to be needed before this is cleared up.” Sock-Eye reached for his chewing plug. “She’s plumb cleared up a’ready,” he maintained. “And since you two dunderheads’ve finally made sure where your pay dirt lies and dis­ covered how you was kind 0’ made for each other, from the first crack out’n the box, I don’t see no call for me lingerin’ around this neck 0’ the woods. No, sir. I’m goin’ t’ tote me and my stuff back into them hills where a man kin work a tom- myrocker in peace.” I felt he was too old and spent for that sort of lone-fire adventuring through the valley bottoms of the North. But there was something still gallant and intrepid about the shaggy figure as he stepped over to the taller man and placed a hand on the shoulder that stood almost as high as his own head. “You’ve got a straight-shooter in this gal of ol’ Klondike Coburn’s,” he solemnly asserted. “She’s a danged sight finer’n you deserve. And if you don’t treat her right, down the years that’s left f you, I’ll sure amble out’n these hills and fill your carcass so full 0’ lead they’]] be usin’ you for a plumb bob.” (THE END] .

Now that the move­ ment is on, women who crochet or knit are finding the per­ fect answer to their Christmas gift problems in these erstwhile “homely arts” which, this season, have come triumphantly into their own. The play of imagination brought to bear in interpreting the knit-and- crochet theme in modern costume design is winning the admiration of the fashion world. One of the hap­ piest outcomes of the present craze for things knitted is intriguing hat and bag sets like fie stunning two­ some shown to the left in the illus­ tration. It is almost unbelievable that so much chic and charm can be achieved at so little expenditure of time and cost of material. This set is easily made and the heavy cot­ ton boilfast rug yarn of which it is made is amazingly inexpensive. You can get this yarn in deep shades or in delectable pastels. Be assured that the fortunate recipient of this cunning calot and bag, will thrill with joy at sight of it, the more so because it is “hand-made.” A gay little flatterer is the head scarf pictured in the oval above. You’ll admit it is in perfect tune with the Christmas spirit. This pretty crocheted fantasy was de­ signed and made by the radio songstress, Fran Allison. Not only is it entitled to a high fashion rat­ ing but added to its prettiness and its chic is its kindly service in pro­ tecting smartly coified heads from pranksome breezes. The happiness it will bring to a friend when Santa delivers it Christmas morning will more than repay you for the “labor of love” in making it. Guaranteed to make “Merry Christmas” merrier for the some­ one among your friends who re­ ceives it is the most attractive striped crochet weskit shown to the right in this group. The “original” is worked in shades of brown, beige and white with border trimming of solid crochet. However, there are other color schemes that will strike an equally pleasing note such as, for instance, holly red, pine green and vivid yellow with highlights of white or flashes of starry-night blue. It may be worn over blouses or as a vestee with jacket suits. Well, and look who’s here below in the picture! It’s a > darling soft cuddly little poodle dog with a soft ball, all done in crochet and just waiting to make the little tots in your home chuckle with glee. Just for fun, crochet these toys of wool or . mercerized crochet cotton for the little folks you wish to remember at holiday time. These are exactly the kind of toys that children treas­ ure long after baby days, and moth­ ers like them because they are washable and have no sharp comers to injure “wee little darlings” while they play. For that list of friends whom you would gladden with just a simple little gift make up a series of little boutonnieres of hair ornaments of crocheted flowers. You- can turn them out in a jiffy if you are a fast crocheter. Or, why not give a cro­ cheted jewelry set? To wear with sweaters you can find cunning neck­ laces'of crocheted flowers strung together with chainstitch crochet. Some feature bracelets to match, or clips, or both. You can make these trinkets in “no time” if you are a fast crocheter, and they make lovely gifts.

Slim Dresses Animated With Graceful Peplums Orchids to our American design­ ers who have succeeded in animat­ ing slim silhouettes with ruffles, tiers, peplums and flares in so subtie a way that the slenderness of a Iaav of fashion is gracefully maintained.

Latest proofs are the new evening skirts so narrow they must be slit to the knee. Very smart, too, are narrow daytime skirts that are scalloped around and dip at the back. That narrow contours are on the way is a sure thing. In fact, they have arrived.

The Iapanese government de­ clared war on the United States at 5:15 o’clock Sunday afternoon, a- bout 10 hours after the Japs had opened fire on the Hawaiian Is­ lands and other American possess, ions in the far away Pacific. Mil­ lions of Americans were hoping and praving that this country would be able to remain at peace but it could not be. We are all Americans. As Senator Wheeler said Sunday even, ing, there remains now but one thing to do, “ whip hell out of Ja­ pan.” A long, bloody war is a- head of us. We must be united In unity there is strength. Up to the time this article was written, seven people have met death in automobile wrecks in Davie county this year. To the same date Iasl vear only four bad been killed. Just what can be done to reduce the death rate from this cause, it is hard to say. Seems like the more law enforcement officers the state employs the more people are killed. The ‘tate should cut down on the speed law. If we are not mistaken the speed limit is now 60 miles per hour. For years we bad a 35 mile speed limit in this state, and wrecks were few a d far between. Of couise we have much more traffic on our highways today than we had ten or fifteen years ago. Another cause for so many accidents may be the wine, beer and liquor stores th at our law. makers opened tip in North Caro­ lina. Some action should be taken to save the lives of motorists. Fast driving, carelessness and drunken drivers at the steering wheel, and over crowded cars are responsible for many lives being lost.

PARTON (Consolidated Features—'WNU Service.) N EW YORK--On the bestowal end of the Maria Moors Cabot Latin-American Journalism award, recently presented, is the 80-year- _ _ , . old Dr. God-Dt. Cabot Injects frey Lowell His Bankroll and Cabot of Self Into Progress Boston, also a generous contributor to democratic enter­ prise. For many years, he has been a steady ground-gainer against the disturbers and trouble-makers, not u political theory, but in his activi­ ties in the field of science and the numanities. He not only bankrolls progress, but helps it over the hur­ dle by his own resourcefulness and inventiveness — the true Yankee genius here. South America ought to be particularly interested in Dr. Cabot's now successful and working scheme to bottle sun­ shine and beep it in the cellar, like jelly or preserves. His 1937 grant of $616,773 to Harvard uni­ versity was a great help in storing solar energy and today, in Florida and other southern states, household hot-water rigs, fuelled by trapped sunshine are almost as common as oil burn­ ers up north. The next year, Dr. Cabot gave a similar amount to the Massachu­ setts Institute of Technology, for the came purpose. His many contribu­ tions to the useful arts of peace, including his enthusiastic co-opera­ tion with aviation, may well be put Iown as an antidote to war. He learned to Sy a seaplane in his late years and invented a system by which a plane can pick up fuel in Bight. ' He attended M.I.T. two years, finished at Harvard in 1882 and, after laying the foundation of his fortune manufacturing lamp black in Worthington, Pa., branched out in gases and car­ bides. He has always insisted that democracy, to survive, must plow a lot of its gains back into the business—which he steadily does.: His Latin-Ameri- can journalism awards are in honor of his late wife. IN 1913, Carlos Davila covered * murders and fires for El Mercurio bf Santiago de Chile. He was a good reporter and told what hap- . pened, rath-P rtze Journalist er than what Expounds Faith in he thought Militant Democracy ought to happen. Lat­ er, as president of Chile and ambas­ sador to Washington, he maintained much of this sam e detachment. One thing that he observed in. 1936 was that the world was go­ ing to hell in a hand-hasket un­ less there could be a successful collective " organization of peace.” He also observed that it would be foolish to think that treaties would be an effective stopgap against the oncoming apocalypse. He was away out in front in urging bold affirma­ tions and agpesslve action, in­ stead of pacifistic negations as the survival technique of de­ mocracy—in which he is a ferv­ ent believer. One of the four Latin-American recipients of the Maria Moors Cabot prize in journalism, Dr. Davila has exemplified his faith in a militant and crusading democracy, which faith he expounds in the public func­ tions attending the prize award. As editor of the Editors Press service, he is possibly the most important journalistic liaison in the new cul­ tural and, to a degree, political entente between North and South America. After becoming editor-in-chief of La Nacion, he came to Wash­ ington as ambassador, in 1928 at the age of 34. He became president of Chile in 1932, in a period of political upheaval, helped incline his country to its present liberal trend and land­ ed back in the United States where his daughters were edu­ cated and which he considers the world’s hope for democratic leadership. It is, doubtful wheth­ er we have in' South America any U. S. A. citizen who can mateh Dr. DavUa’sipenetration of the mind and institutions of another country. Living in New York off and on for quite a few years now, he mixes around casually, knows a lot of peo­ ple, speaks quite a lot of our idiom and demonstrates hemisphere sol­ idarity. in his small, compact, alert person as few North or South Americans have ever done. Bombs and bullets were some­ times an obligato to his rapid rise in Chilean statesmanship. He helped tuild the Chilean state and knows fhat democracy is not easily come ' by. He says we were soft, but are toughening up and getting back our "crusading spirit and stoic fiber.” Making ‘Leathernecks’ at Parrisj Island^ SI Above are three photos of marines-in-the-making at Parris Island, S.

BROADWAY” opens with a scene on a narrow ledge, supposedly 40 feet above the real Bro'adway. A girl, played by Jean Phillips, is pre­ tending to be crazy, and is about to commit suicide. A man, played by Macdonald Carey, pretends that he also is crazy, in order to get her off the ledge. In the middle of the scene each discovers that the other is sane. And when Miss Phillips and Mr. Carey met for the first time, on the ledge, with cameras pointed at them, they discovered that they both hail from Sioux City, Iowa. The story of the men in the army air service who operate the secret bomb sights and actually drop the bombs on targets from giant planes will be filmed, by RKO Radio, with the co-operation of the United States army, it will be called “Bom­ bardier.” Like the elephant, Richard Arlen never forgets.

H oliday F are CSifistmas is something pretty special, I’m sure you’ll agree, and as such deserves something pretty special in the way of food. To my notion the fruit cakes and plum pud- din's are that special something with their handsome brown, fruity richness and delectable flavors. Tjie charm of both these kinds of delicacies lies in their ripened, mellowed flavors which comes only with proper aging when the spices, fruits, nuts and b u tte r b le n d themselves into mysterious good­ ness. So bake the fruit cakes and puddings in ad­ vance and give them a chance to acquire their best in flavor. While you’re about the big busi­ ness of making a fruit cake, bake several small cakes in small glass or pottery dishes to give as gifts. Gaky decorated with sprigs of holly anti mistletoe and holiday ribbons they make a perfect gift. Dark Frnit Cake.

But since these take lots of time to make, plan to be in the process of making them for several days so one day won’t tire you out. Fruits and nuts can be cut and chopped several days in advance since they usually involve consid­ erable time. VtHien putting the batter in the pans be sure that the comers are well filled with batter so you’ll get a nice looking cake or pudding. Store the cake or pudding in a cool dry place. Have it tightly covered preferably in a tin con­ tainer. Sound apples may be kept in the container itself* to keep cake or pudding moist, but must be replaced if they become de­ cayed or shriveled.

CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP LESSON TEXT—n Cprinthians S:l-9; t:6, 7. , GOLDEN TEXT--It Is required In stew­ ards, that a roan be found faithful.—I Corin­ thians 4:2. The Cliristmas season, when there is so much thought about gifts, is a most appropriate time for a lesson on Christian, giving. f)r. John Willis Baer was once asked:,. “How can we raise money for foreign mis­ sions?” Quick as a flash, he an­ swered: “Don’t-raise it, give it.” “If all believers could come to a true knowledge of what the. New Testa­ ment teaches regarding giving, and would seriously put this knowledge into practice, the Christian church could advance more in the next 10 years than it has advanced in any 50 years in its history” (Wilbur M. Smith). I. An Example of Liberality (8:1-5). For some reason people are over­ ly sensitive when one speaks of money. The subject must be ap­ proached tactfully, so Paul skillfully directs the attention of the Corin- thian church to their fellow Chris­ tians in Macedonia. They had been in great affliction and were in “deep poverty” (v. 2 ), but out of their sorrow and want they gave far above Paul’s expectation (v. 5) and “beyond their power,” and then pleaded with Paul that he should let then, give more. The explana­ tion is found in verse 5, where we learn that they had first given “their own selves to the Lord,” and then in loving co-operation with Paul himself, as the Lord’s agent, in this matter of the offering. Is it not strange that those who suffer most for the gospel and have the least to give are the most gen­ erous in their giving. Those to whom the gospel has come easily, who bear no special burdens for Christ, and who are well situated financially, are commonly the most stingy with their money. Coidd it be that they have not really given themselves to the Lord? One won­ ders. H. An Exhortation to Faithful­ ness (8:6-9). Apparently the Corinthians had made a promise or pledge to give for the poor at Jerusalem, but had become a bit forgetful and negli­ gent. It seem s to be so easy to neglect to keep up a pledge for the Lord’s work. Some folk even feel that they cannot make a p led ge. They pledge to pay their rent, to make payments on a car, or a washing machine; but to the church they just can’t pledge, or if they do, the promise is often neglected. Such things are dishonoring to the name of Christ. As they abound in other graces (v. 7), Paul exhorts the Corinthians to abound in “this grace also.” So giving is a Christian grace! And why not? Consider Christ (v. 9), who left the glory He had with the Father and came to the poverty of the One who had. not where to lay His head, that we' through Him might be eternally rich. Christian friend, when that truth lays hold of your heart and life your purse strings will loosen, your check book will open more easily, you will gladly give—for Christ’s sake. IH. A Principle of Christian Giv­ ing (9:6). The harvest is always in propor­ tion to the sowing of the seed. The man who is stingy with his seed at sowing time will reap that kind of a harvest. Thp opposite is also true. It works in the field of business too. The merchant who gives the fullest return for one’s money arid the most liberal measure of service is bound to prosper, while the stingy one is left to lament the fact that his goods rot on his shelves. In the spiritual realm it is even more true. But, someone may say, we ought not to do good that we may profit by it. No real Chris­ tian will give just that he may pros? per, but, mark it well, if he does give for Christ’s sake and His glory, God will prosper him. “You can’t beat God giving.” IV. The Spirit of Christian Stewardship (9:7). ' Our giving is to be done according to the purpose of our heart—not grudgingly, nor with grief, nor yet by compulsion, because someone put on pressure. God loves a cheerful or (as.it may be translated) hilarious giver. When done in the right spirit, giving for Christ can be. one of the happiest experiences of the Christian life. Let’s make offering time in our church services the most joyful time in the meeting. Then we shall be liberal as WeU -as cheerful in this grace of stewardship. Faith In Christ “Martha said, tLord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.’ Of all the true disciples of Christ this may with perfect confidence be said, ‘He is here, therefore they shall not die.’ Faith causes Christ to be present in the heart; and where Christ is, eternal death cannot be.” —Dean Hovrgon. Barnum Had Plugged Holes And Wav in the Money When P. T. Bamum, as a young man, left I Danbury, Conn., to make his way in the world, he left numerous unpaid bills behind him. To orie creditor the. imagi­ native showman said with great intensity: ‘TH pay you what I owe you as' soon as I get rich.” The other laughed and eyed the youth disdainfully. “That will be when a sieve holds water,” he-jeered, But in a ;few years the master showman was weU on the road to success, aiid; with great-satisfac­ tion wrote jthe man the foUowing note: “Dear Sir: I have fixed that sieve.” Ideals as Stars Ideals are like stars; you wiU not succeed in touching them with, your hands, but like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and, following them, you reach your destiny.—CSarl Schurz. s tX l - Br BOTH WYETH SPEARS ----- I®NAIk-C IOAfIOlOBAC ANDSEAT BAD IWTTHC BATTmC IASTEO TO MUSLW THENSLtP COVER ADD CUSHIONS AT THICK npHESE conversation chairs so much at home in a Victorian setting would be just as smart in a modem room.

Red Cross K d p s Solve Problem s O f O ur Recruits I Through Its;Direcfors in Camps Red Cross Links Men Wiih Home Washington, D. C.—On the lopie and military fronts the American Esd Cross is turning its focus on the man in uniform. In his behalf, more thr.n 10,000 nurses are being recruited. Volunteers are donating their blood for a huge plasma bank. Red Cross women in chapters throughout the country are making '40,000,000 surgical dressings, and knitting sweaters for men in outlying posts and sailors on patrol. But these are Just fragments of the story. In military and naval stations, the Red Cross is concerning itself with the personal problems of the service man, helping him adjust himself to military life. For the disabled, the Red Cross is on the job in service hospi­ tals, helping to speed recovery of the sick through a morale-building pro­ gram. In mobilizing a 2,000,000-man fight­ ing force, the personal problems of the able-bodied man in uniform have in turn become problems of the morale divisions. Red. Cross field directors stationed In .ail camps and reserva­ tions have been entrusted with the task Ot helping to solve these prob­ lems. SpeaUog In a nation-wide broadcast recently, Ohiet of Staff Marshall, of the Army, addressed- the following words to Red Cross field directors:. "When yon kelp straighten oat any ot the great Tariety of tangles that hu­ man beings seem unable to avoid, you are helping to maintain morale on the home front and on the military front; you am Jte^ting ns in training lor de­ fense.” I Th* disabled man in a service hos­ pital also can look to the Red Cross for help In speeding recovery. Medical- social workers, trained for their spe­ cialized assignment, are on duty at Army general and Navy hospitals to sild service physicians, to act as a medium of communication with the families of hospitalized men and to conduct recreational programs for con­ valescents. The Red Cross provides recreational service tor patients In all Army and Navy hospitals. Sixty-five new hospi­ tals are under construction by the Army, and their recreation buildings are being equipped and stalled by the Bed Cross as each one opens. y As part ot the Army and Navy Safety programs, members of the na­ tional Red Cross staff are qualifying Instructors In First Aid and TTater Safety among the ranks of the enlisted man. Instructors taught by the Red Cross In turn conduct classes on the reservations. The number of Army and Navy cases assisted by Red Cross field direc­ tors has increased in volume 140 per cent since Selective Service has been In operation. During the past year 126,516 cases involving active service men have been handled in the camps. The Red Cross recently made avail­ able $1,000,000 to meet an emeigency need for athletic equipment for the Army and Navy. This need arose when Government appropriations for the purpose became exhausted. In addition to providing the Army and Navy with an official reservoir of nurses, the Red CroBS is cataloging the nation’s medical technologists. Through this program, In which ap­ proximately 3,000 technicians have registered, the Army and Navy will select such professional personnel as laboratory workers, dietitians, den­ ial technicians, pharmacists and other categories ot trained technologists, f Notice of Sale of Real Estate By. virtue of power of sale con­tained in one certain mortgage exe­cuted by W B Daiin to the under­ signed.

By Edwabb C. Jobnbtoh T O Domingo Faustino Sarmlento -*■ can be traced most of the funda­ mental bases of present Argentine life. Iron-jawed opposition leader, exile, deputy, senator, diplomat, gen-, eral, President of the Republic, he had only one motto, the teaching of the ignorant. Bom In 1811, Sarmiento was truly a son of the revolution. For the pre- -vious year the Spanish colonies pre­ ferred their independence to incor­ poration into the empire headed by Joseph Bonaparte, King of Spain Iqr appointment of his brother Napoleon. Immediately, the young Sarmiento’s life took on that movemented and adventurous character it would have to the end: his father migrated to Chile. And it was in the neighbor­ ing province of Chile that the young Argentine grew up, and worked first as a small retail merchant, then as clerk and later as a mine operator. No schoo’ing was available. Never­ theless, Sarmiento, like the Abe Lin­ coln whose biography he was to write later, found time and opportunity to read and learn. In 1836, he returned to Argentina and opened a school for young women in his home town of San Juan. Beginning In 1829 the notorious dictator Rosas dominated the whole country by controlling the fountain head—then as now—of all Argentine life; the city of Buenos Aires. Started Liberal Newspaper Two years were enough for Sar­ miento and he returned to Chile in a hurry, haying meanwhile been in jail for opposing the dictator. In Chile he engaged in journalism, founding a liberal paper which ceaselessly attacked the Rosas re­ gime and tactics. AU this time, how­ ever, Sarmiento had been showing that while he deserved consideration as a journalist and writer, his real work was education. In 1842 he founded in Chile, the first normal school in Latin America. From this point on, education was the real interest in Sarmiento’s life. As Mrs. Horace Mann says, “Sar­ miento had as his watchword, 1The education of the people.’ Adventures and political activity; diplomacy, study abroad or warring; all meant to Sarmiento only the fulfillment of his creed, that *public education is the only basis of a republic.’ ” Sarmiento participated in the rev­ olution led by General Urquiza which overthrew the Rosas dictatorship at the battle of Caseros in 1852. He was then made minister of public instruc­ tion. There were at that time no schools to speak of in the Argentine. The principle of universal education which today one takes for granted had not caught on. There were a couple of universities specializing in theology and law and the parochial schools maintained by the Church. Yet governors of states needed to learn to read and write; the young republic was crying for administra­ tors, technicians, agriculturists. Edu­ cation of the people meant literally the education of a nation, and Sar­ miento threw Mnrwif into his life’s work. finally in 1865 he was appointed Minister to the United States. Adndred Horace Mnwn Horace Mann, crusading New Eng­ land educator and first president of Antioch College, had died a few yean previously after profoundly af­ fecting the course of education, in the United States. He had advocated free public schooling and at Anti­ och College was first instituted CO- Oomlnge Faustina Sarmiento education and nan-sectarian instruc­ tion 'in higher education. Sarmiento had met Mann and knew the work that he had been doing. The fighting qualities of the American appealed to . the Argen­ tine. Like Minn, he saw education as the duty of the government and the foundation of freedom and pros­ perity. So oonvinced was he of the right­ ness of his views, that while In this country, Sarmiento wrote a small book entitled "Education basis of prosperity in the United States.” Mary Peabody Mann the good doc­ tor’s widow and an educator in her own right, translated into Eng­ lish what is said to be Argentina’s greatest literary work: Sarmiento’s Facundo. It was Mrs. Mann’s influ­ ence which brought Sarmiento into closer touch with her late husband’s work and as she writes, it was in the name of Horace Mann, that Sar­ miento on returning to the Argen­ tine introduced the common school system in his country. Sarmiento thus forms a link through education between Chile, the United States and Argentina. It was Chile which first gave asylum to the young exiled "Sdioolmastertt —• title which he prized above any —and allowed him to begin his bril­ liant career. His stay in Washington as Argen­ tine minister was fairly short Ar­ riving immediately after the close of the Civil War, Sarmiento was wit­ ness to the havoc that conflict had caused. He also saw the beginning of the reconstruction period and dur­ ing his stay here, he found time to write a short biography of Abraham Lincoln. Politically also, Sarmiento was influenced by his mission in Washington, for contact with the operation of the federal system in the United States brought him around to advocating it also in Ar­ gentina, where today it is the basis of constitutional life. Diplomacy, however, was only an interlude in Sarmiento’s career. Chosen as a compromise candidate, he was elected in his absence to the Presidency of the Argentine. Though he brought an end to the costly and bloody war of the Triple Alliance against Paraguay, typically enough it is his work as "Schoolmaster” which stands out on reviewing his tenure ot office. Founder of School System It has been rightly said that Do­ mingo Faustino Sarmiento is the father of the Argentine school sys­ tem. His country knows and loves the irascible old man who had no patience with ignorance, and is aware that he is directly responsible for Argentina having one of the most complete and advanced school sys­ tems in the world. He was a prophet of free public education. Today we accept this as an everyday neces­ sity, but his life and that of Horace Mann both show that they suffered the bitterest kind of opposition and attack. Sarmiento east the mold of Argentine education, and thereby of Argentine thought Sarmiento’s genius resides in hav­ ing been ahead of his time. He per­ sonified progress and' that lively spirit of inquiry Which,Is so typical of his countrymen today; what Ri­ cardo Rojas^ great Argentine critic and writer calls, “the anarchistic in­ dividuality of the Argentine charac­ ter.” Sarmiento had no theory to sell. His only aim was to make the peo­ ple enlightened, democratic, modern, whether in Chile, the United States or. Argentina. Sarmiento’s life was ‘like that of Chaucer’s scholar. "Fain would I learn and gladly teach.” He did both. D A V I E B R I C K C O M P A N Y DEALERS IN BRICK and -SAND WOOD and COAL Day Phone 194 - Niprht Fhone 119 ,Mocksville, N. C.

The body was laid to rest at ElbaviUe Saturday afternoon with Masonic honors. Many relatives survive. Idleiog Time Away Rev. Walter E. benhour. Hiddeolte. N. C. Idleing time awav is an evil Surelv this cannot be questioned Time is precious, therefore is not to be idled away God says in His holy Word:. “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” Epb. 5:13 16. To redeem one’s time is to use it wisely, carefullv, profit, ably. We are to spend our time serving and worshipping God, which means that we- do good. We give onrselvef in' a righteous way to good employment, to the heartfelt worship of our Lord, to bless humanity and" uplift them. By using our time -as we should, we enrich the lives of others and make the world better. This is an absolute fact. However, by idleing time away one serves the devil, and in bis ser­ vice he may do lots of things. He may become vile and wicked, there­ fore destroy much good. Even if one lives a highly moral life, but fails to use his time wisely, and as it pleases Go^, he is wrong to that extent AU truly good and great men and women liave prized their time very highly and used it wise­ ly. No time-killer ever amounts to mueh in life. Success never crowns bis life. Defeat, sooner or later, brings him low. He meets bis Waterloo. It is deplorable bow people idle their time away. Many spend it at foolish games, or lounging a- ronnd, or telling filthy jobes, or reading a sorry class of literature, or at the movies, or at pleasure re* sorts, or just traveling about sight, seeing. People do lots of foolish things “just to pass the time a- way.” O1 if they could but real, ize the valde df time they would not idle it away. There is so much that needs to be done that is com­ mendable, good and worth while. There are so many souls that are lost that ought to be won for Christ. So manv aching hearts that need to be healed; so many sad and broken Hvesthat need *‘the balm of Gifead,” and if we can take, it to them we are spending time in the way that pleases God1 and He wilf reward us for it. Idlers climb no hills and reach no sublime heights. They tunnel no mountains, bridge no rivers and span no chasms. They leave no “footprints on the sands of time,” to live after them , to bless the Wbrld, and to tell the world they have been here. Saddgst of ail, they have no glorious reward a. waiting them when this Itfe is over. Don’t idle vour time away. Vote No or Don't Kick Next year the American people will pay the heaviest taxes in our history. They will pay willingly every dime that is needed for rural defense. But they will resent be ing forced to pay now for govern* ment "luxuries” and non-essentials. Political spending for nnneces. sary activities is nothing short of a disgrace. For instance, costly WPA art p rojects” have again been given official approval. And that is done at a time when th e cost of defense w ill be a great hardship on small incom es, no less thao big, and when we are told business can. not co n tin u e as usual, and w hen all must '1Sacriffice." It has been reliably estimated that the normal cost of government could be cut by a billion or more dollars a year without imperiling or eliminating any essential activity. But congress won't move a single step in the direction of economy un. til the people demand it through their action at the polls. So don’t kick at waste until you are ready to vote an emphatic "No” against individuals and agencies that coun­ tenance waste. 4-H Gob Wins Favor of BotfaParties Direct support if 4 -H club work fer the rural counties of the United States was forecast in the heatings before the House Agricultnral Com. mittee on the bill drawn to give the 4 H clubs a constantly increas­ ing appropriation amounting to 24 million dollars th- fifth year, and providing that the Government pay 75 per cent of the cost of maintain* ing 4 H dubs. The attitude of the committee members in the hearing indicated a unanimous favor of 4 -H- work by both parties; but did not indicate that an amount of 24 millioj dol­ lars annually would be appropria­ ted or that the 4 .H would be made dependent on the public treasury for three fourths of its upkeep. It may bav. surprised some of the supporters of the bill to bear a Democratic member of the commit, tee suggest that such liberal feder­ al support was likely to lead to more politics and tendency of Fed­ eral Bureaus to want to manage 4 . H work astbey are doing the NVA. "I would certainly not want to see the 4 -H criticized as the NTA has been,” said this Democratic com. mitteetnan. About 3,000 counties in the Uni. ted States are eligible for 4 -H or­ ganization. The proposed bill would allot an average of $8,000 to each, adding to which the state and local 25 per cent would make a total of $10,666 , or several times as much as any cauuty is now getting for 4 - H work. While all members of the committee were apparently whole­ heartedly for 4 H work, none of them seemed fo want to make it rich pickings for job hunters by hanging up $10,000 for salaries and expenses in each county. When asked if he did not think the proposed appropriation was out of line with the required economy in non-defense expenditures, Mr W. R. Ogg, secretary of the Amer­ ican Farm Bureau Federation, said if the Government wanted- to cut expenses it could do away with the independent set-up of AAA and have the field work done under su. pervision of county agents at a sa­ ving of one third in local expense Since the cost of administration comes out of the farmers’ payments this would put the difference right back into farm pockets.. At present 4 -H receives support from the extension fund, with state anJ local sources paying approxi. mately half. The proposed biil would give the work a direct ap. propriation of 6 million dollars the first year, stepping up annually un til reaching the maximum of 24 million in five years. More Taxes. The Treasury is in with a pro posal of nearly five billion dollars in new taxes—that on top of the 3j£ billions voted only a few months ago It is not surprising. Indeed, with the Government bnd geted to run 12 or more .billions in the red this fiscal year, it is onlv prudent of Secretary Morgentbau to suggest that a larger share of the cost be placed on a pay as.we go basis. If the money isn’t taken from the people bv higher taxes, it will be exacted from them in rising living costs—for such is the inevitable re. suit with purchasing power soaring at a time when civilian goods a. vailable for purchase are diminish, ing.—New York World-Telegram WAKE UP BUSINESS, By Advertising In { TKi Neanpapers \ * To Whom Shall We Go John, 6 :68. The question Was asked by tbe disciple Peter when Jesus bad be­ come weary and exhausted because of the great mtiphude which had followed Him. followed Jesus f.c the fishes, other; cause of mere cui followed Him be< tome of tbem had r tbe loaves and followed Him be- iosity, others had iause they hoped VSWMfS to find in Him a‘political and -tem porat leader. Jekts saw that the multitude of the: people had not caught His great' vision and He sent them away.: As they left He turned to His disciples and asked, “Will ye go ajway also?” Peter answered, “Lord, to whom shall we go, thou hast the words of e- ternal life/’ / Wee find ours$i7 es today like the great multitude vho had followed Jesus upon that occasion. We are in a state of confusion. Our world is looking for leadership and seek, ing a world Ieadejv as' never before, and we echo the : words ot Peter when we say, “to «hom shall we go?” - We have gone I to various ones for help and sttl'iwe are not satis, fied. We have' gone to tbe philo­ sophers and their idealoeies have thrown the world into the present chaotic condition. Nations have believed tbeir philosophies and have closed the doors of tbeir' churches and are now resorting to brutal force while the ph losopbers still argue among themselves as to the wav of life. To whom can we go? We have gone to tbs scientists for help but found science more interested in discovery, in measurement, in ana. lysis than in furnishing a motive for their findings. We canuot go to the god of force to find the answer to our human need, fo. force inspires more torce, and force has risen in the person ot so-called great leaders only to be overcome with greater force. Napoleon rose on the doctrine ot force but was Overcome by a migh­ tier force of love to the ideal of sreedom. We cannot go to tbe god of force for tbe Roman Empire rose and frll by the sword. We cannot worship at the altar of tbe god of force for there is but one God and this God is a God of love and a God of peace. “To whom shall we go?” said Peter. We ask caa we go to the other religions of the world. We can find no comfort in Buddhism for this religion > ffevs us no crea- tiue god and we find in it only a re* ligion of despair. We cannot go to Mohammedism for this religion teaches us 0 hate, to kill all who disagree with us and offers only a heaven of physical desires. We cannot go to Brahmanism with its legal conception and its denial of Christ nor can we go to Confueion- ism with its worship of ancestors "To whom shall we go, Lord, thoa hast tbe words of eternal life.” We can go to Christ ior He is the only Divine Saviour that God has sent to the world to show us, to teach us, to lead us into the paths of righteousness. We can go to Christ because He answered the three greatest of .ill human needs. He has overcome sin, He has met suffering with faith and He has been victorious over deatb. We can go to Christ because Christ first came to us. He loved us first. He gave htmsejf tor us. In the teaching, in the life, in tbe example, in the power of Christ Jesus can be fonnd the answer to all of the problems of mankind. ROBERT W. HARDEE. Mocksville, N. C.

In case vou write the last word, don't fail to cross the ‘t.’ The alliance with Russia is hate* ful to a majority of the people of this country.

We know where it’s coming from, bnt we have no idea where all it’s going to. Two jurors up in Massachusetts went to sleep and caused a mistrial. It seems that the judee awoke in time to catch tbem napping. If a man was to bife a dog, it wonld be news be news all right, but it seems that would be a rather silly wav foi one to go about get­ ting his name in the paper. Our leaders are now pointing out that all must sacrifice tor defense, which is necessary. But how a. !.out the politicians sacrificing some of our pork-barrel activities which are driviag this nation down the road to bankruptcy? There is but one way this coun try can be saved from a burden of debt and taxation that would ruin us as surely as would military de­ feat. That way is by cutting every non defense item in tbe budget to the absolute bone. If criticizing the President is a crime, and if differing with him is treason, then we bad an appalling line-up of criminals and traitors when Hoover was President. Of course, it always makes a differ­ ence whose ox is gored. Hoover took it like a man, without squir ming and without squawking, but he was u t subject to violent rages, so perhaps that is not pertinent.

Installment I “Now let me get this straight,” Ma Shannon’s voice was brisk and businesslike. “This is m y last Christmas?” Young Dr. Monroe reddened with embarrassment. “I’m not doing this at all well,” he hesitated, “but—” “Save that bedside manner of yours for the younger women,” Ma snapped. “I want the truth.” John Monroe tapped the shabby desk top with nervous fingers. “Well,” he said, reluctantly, “you were a doctor’s wife. You under­ stand about these things.” "Yes or no?” Ma was relentless. “Yes.” Relief and concern sat heavily on the doctor’s face. “That heart of yours—you’ve known for years—even before the Big Doc died you knew that—;” “That it wouldn’t last forever. I’m 65. Got to die some time. The question is—how long have I got?” “If you take care of yourself, six months at most.” “I see. And if I don’t—sooner?” John Monroe nodded unhappily. “If—only somebody else could have told you, Ma. I—it’s as if—” “But this is definitely my last Christmas?” “Yes, Ma.” She sighed heavily, rose to her feet. “I—thought as much. Thank you, Johnny.”. . . Mountain Creek was meeting Christmas more than halfway. Nar­ row streets were heavily draped with loops of laurel. Ma Shannon plodded through the crowds, a little dumpy figure in her ancient hat and unfashionable coat. Two more weeks—so many things yet to be done, so little time left for the doing. Ma straightened her ri­ diculous hat with determined hands, smiled at the hurried young couple who had jostled her, and turned firmly into Davis’ General Empori­ um and Postoffice. Dan Davis was behind the coun­ ter. Ma was suddenly filled with a fierce delight. His smile wrinkled a million large freckles. “Hello, young lady,” he hailed. “Doing your Christmas shoplifting?” “I’ve been walked on by every man, woman and child in Mountain Creek,” Ma complained. “Serves you right for not doing your shopping early.” “I’m a lazy old lady,” she ad­ mitted shamelessly. She asked for some 3-cent stamps. “Sounds—” the young voice fal­ tered, “sounds as if you were going to write some letters. Give her my love.” “Sally?” For a sharp second the boy’s heart stood naked in his eyes. “Who else but Sally?” Ma leaned across the battered counter. ‘T m having the young ones home for Christmas,” she confided. “Now maybe if you was to come sashay­ in’ up to die house, by accident—” “It’s a date,” the boy grinned. * • • The letters to her children must be very carefully composed, Ma de­ cided. Just the right amount of lightness—but not too light. They might suspect. Particularly Lydia. Lydia was sharp. The letter to Lydia first, then. Ma gripped the pen in her work-bat­ tered fingers. “Dear Lydia—” the pen spattered. Lydia was in New York. She was 35, sleek, sophisticated, ambitious. She had studied nursing, grasped stenography and typing and learned to speak two languages in an ap­ pallingly short period of time. Now she was secretary-nurse-companion, at a fabulous salary, to a wealthy invalid. Ma relentlessly drove her pen to lofty flights of rhetoric. “How have you been? It’s been pretty warm here for December, but all the local weather prophets are promising a blizzard soon.” Ma frowned. The letter was get­ ting nowhere, so she briskly at­ tacked it from a new angle. “I am inviting all the children home for Christmas. Christmases get rather precious at my age.” No. Ma scratched out the last sentence. Lydia would fathom its wistful transparency. “I know it’s asking a good deal to expect you to come all the way from New York just for a few days, but” -M a chewed the penholder vicious­ ly, “but—Christmas is for family get-togethers, and we’ve all been separated too long. Take care of yourself and let me know when to expect you. Love, Mother.” Ma reread the letter approvingly. “Brief and to the point,”- she nod­ ded and essayed her second letter. “Dear Dr. Shannon”—that should please Kenneth, she thought to her­ self, a trifle maliciously. Kenneth was something of a stuffed shirt about titles. Odd that she and gen­ tle Christopher Shannon should have . produced two such austere and cor­ rect children as Lydia and Kenneth. “I think you’ve been working too hard. Your letters sound cross and P®5 i» i i ‘Tm having the children home for Christmas,” Ma confided to Dan. grumpy. I prescribe a good, old- fashioned Christmas with all the trimmings. Mountain Creek still brags about you. Why not give us a treat? Besides, there’ll be roast turkey with chestnut dressing. “I am writing all the other chil­ dren and it will be just like the old days again. Don’t say you’re too busy. Even doctors have to stop now and then. Love to Phyllis and kiss the baby for me. Mother.” Kenneth was the successful Shan­ non. He had inherited his father’s deft fingers and observant eyes. It was as natural that he would turn to medicine as rivers turn to­ ward the sea. “I’m not throwing myself away on a dump like Mountain Creek the way Dad did,” he had announced. “No horse and buggy for mp. No, nor calls at midnight to deliver chil­ dren to people who haven’t paid for the last litter. If Dad had collected a quarter of his fees we could all retire and live on the income.” Kenneth had gone to Chicago. His assured manner and classic profile had neatly supplemented a natural talent for medicine. And his mar­ riage to the socially prominent daughter of the head of Chicago’s Central Clinic had not hampered his progress. Kenneth at 3’9 was wealthy, suc­ cessful, assured. Ma was a trifle in awe of her firstborn. She turned hastily to her third letter. “Dear Robert: I am expecting you home for Christmas.” No delicate prelude to her younger son’s letter. Robert was a writer, the least ag­ gressive of the Shannons. Ma sus­ pected there were many days when Robert’s meals were something short of lavish, when his socks were un- damed and his suits unpressed. Robert had migrated to Baltimore and entombed himself in a boarding house to write the great American novel. “I am sending you a little money. I know I have no right to ask you to make the trip at your own ex­ pense. Baltimore to Mountain Creek is a long way. I have written all the children to come home. It'will be like old times.” Ma clutched the pen with un­ steady fingers. Ah, the sharp stab­ bing pain in her breast! It beat a steady rhythm in her blood: “Last Christmas — last Christmas — last Christmas—” “Bring your novel home with you. I want you to read it to me. I am so proud of you and know it will be a great success.” Flattery, gross and heavy, but the weak must be flattered and petted and cajoled. “I read the poem in the little maga­ zine you sent me. It was lovely. Ii only your father were alive to see it. Most of Mountain Creek asks for you. . Nothing much new. I am knitting you a nice warm sweater—, blue—you always liked blue. Love, Mother.” Ma’s breath labored in short pant­ ing gasps. She was tired. The nag­ ging pain gave her no rest. But there was still one more letter to be written. She dipped the pen into the chipped inkwell - and carefully traced: “Dear Sally:” Sally’s letter must be gay and frivolous and inconse­ quential. Ma. felt anything but gay and frivolous. “Come home. All is. forgiven. What has Hollywood to offer that Mountain Creek can’t beat? Besides, we’re having a Christmas'. turkey with chestnut stuffing. And giblet gravy. And hot mince pie with hard sauce. From what I read in the magazines no-/ body in Hollywood eats anything but sawdust and skim milk. But I still make Christmas cookies the way I used to and the nail where you al­ ways hung your stocking is still over the fireplace. I’ve written Lydia and Robert and Kenneth and it ought to be a regular family reunion. I saw the picture with you in. Dap Davis took me. We had to sit through it twice because we missed you the first time. It was sort of hard picking you out in that mob ‘scene, but you looked beautiful. I will be looking forward to an old- fashioned family Christmas. Your father always said—” Ma brushed away a sheepish tear— “that Christ­ m as was invented so people who loved each other could be together. Dan sends his love. So do I. Mum­ my.” Pretty, petted, spoiled Sally, with her candid blue eyes and her riotous blonde curls and her overweening ambition to be an actress. “She can’t act worth a penny,” was Ma’s inward comment, recall­ ing a succession of high school plays. “But she’s so easy to look at. Maybe that’s all Hollywood needs.” She stamped her letters thought­ fully. For a short while the irritat­ ing pain ceased. Ma chuckled. “Doc­ tors are sometimes wrong,” she consoled herself. “Maybe I’ll fool Johnny Sawbones yet. Maybe next Christmas—” but she knew it was only bravado. “Maybe next Christ mas—”• * • Lydia Shannon carefully arranged the morning mail. A few personal letters for Eve Wainwright- Lydia would open them later, read them to the invalid in her quiet, sympathetic voice. Carter Wainwright’s mail she laid carefully next to his plate. The one on top—the heavy flecked polo cloth —scrawled in large and arrogant script, that would be from Margot Haines. Lydia’s fine mouth thinned sharply. If Margot Haines cherished the delusion that Carter Wainwright might make an acceptable husband, she was mistaken. Margot’s matri­ monial ventures were numerous and publicized, and Margot was beauti­ ful and fascinating—but—there was Lydia. And Lydia had long ago. decided elderly and wealthy Carter Wainwright was her own private property. The invalid upstairs had a limited lease on living, and Lydia was both patient and clever. She rang for the quiet Jap, gave him orders in her low, businesslike voice. Kato’s eyes' were beadily emotion­ less. He padded from this room with­ out a sound, and Lydia at last turned to her own mail, three letters im­ patiently craving her attention. She fingered them lightly. A heavy crest­ ed envelope postmarked “Monte Carlo.” That would be the charming and: impecunious young Duke she had met last September. The second letter wore a chilling lack of personality. It was post­ m arked “ B a ltim o re.” L ydia frowned, Robert again, and very likely begging for more money. The third letter was shabby, un­ tidy and unassuming. It bore the legend, “Mountain Creek.” Lydia carefully slit the communi­ cation from Monte Carlo, read it . through with amusement. "Nikki was a dear. The second letter was short and blunt. Yes, Robert wanted money. With characteristic lack of finesse, he stated his problem starldy in the first crowded paragraph. ‘T m in­ vited to the Christmas banquet of the Writers Club. I can’t'afford not to go. Perry Boyle will be there. He’s the publisher, you know. It’s formal and I’ve got to get a dinner, jacket. If Boyle notices me, my novel has a chance.” Lydia tossed the letter aside. Rob­ ert’s petulant problems always up set her. (TO BE CONTINUED’ t o E3 SCRI By VIRGINIA VALE (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) H OW would you like to be introduced to a pretty girl and, two m inutes, later have to throw a glass of water into her face? Barry Nelson knows how it feels to do' exact­ ly that. The girl was Lareune Day; Nelson, discovered by Metro on the University of California campus, had to throw the water because William Seitz, direct­ing “China Caravan,” liked the idea. Nelson 'wants to play tough roles; according ito Spencer Tracy, he’s a “sterling actor,” so he should be able to. The role in “China Cara­ van” is his fourth in pictures, but throwing that water was almost too much for him; he’d rather be tough some other way! Ann Sheridan and Madeleine Car­ roll probably didn’t know it, but for three weeks they ran neck and neck with Lana Turner in an election. The boys at Forts Hancock and Til- den were voting to choose “The Sweetheart of Harbor Defenses.” Lana won the title. If Joan Fontaine needed to make sure of her laurels as an actress, she’s certainly accomplished it in “Susipicion,” the new Alfred Hitch­ cock thriller. Her performance is JOAN FONTAINE superb. RKO provided an excellent cast, which includes Cary Grant, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Dame May Whit- ty, Nigel Bruce and Heather Angel. You can see what an actress Miss Fontaine is, to stand out in such a cast. ^ ‘ Clyde Cook, who has a bit part in “Suspicion,” directed Hitchcock in an English film in the days before the mystery director won his spurs. Incidentally, if you read that thrill­ er, “Before the Fact,” don’t expect this picture version to resemble it too closely. ' “I guess the hair-dresser just doesn’t like Joan Crawford,” re­ marked a friend of mine after see­ ing “When Ladies Meet.” “And maybe the costume designer felt the same way,” she added. Certainly Greer Garson’s hair was more be­ comingly done, and her clothes were prettier than Miss Crawford’s. But hair-do’s and clothes must be an old story to the Crawford girl, who could give a good performance if she had to wear a sugar sack and have her hair shaved tight to her head. Rob­ ert Taylor ought to make new friends in this one, too. Rosalind Russell and her bride­ groom drove to New Orleans after Sieir marriage, went by boat to Cuba, flew to Jacksonville and took a train to New York. After a brief stay there she had to rush back to HoUywood for wardrobe tests for “Take a Letter, Darting,” in which she plays a bachelor girl. Frances Farmer, who’s been co-starring with Tyrone Power in “Son of Fury,” is cast as her rival. *----- Richard Arlen wants to go to China to make a picture, when he finishes “WUdcat,” which he’s to start about the first .of Uie year. Says it would take about Uiree months to shoot exteriors there, then the troupe would come home to make Uie rest of it. if- SK A miniature Big Town has been built by a New Orleans man who visualized the imaginary city after listening to Edward G.

We are not expecting any of our friends to give us a turkey for Christmas, bat we would be tickled to receive a jug of locust beer and a ‘sitnmon pudding. There is but little more than a week left in wbicu to do your Christmas shopping It will nay you to trade with the merchants who appreciate your business en< ough to ask for it through the col utnns of The Record. Out of a total vote of more than 350 Senators and Representatives who voted tn favor of declaring that a state of war existed between the United States and Japan, only one of the gentlemen who voted for war declared that he would enlist immediately in the U. S. Army and help do the actual Oghting That is the right spirit—the spirit that spells victory. With four-fifths of the entire civi. Iized world in sympathy with the United States and Great Britain in this great world war and only one- fifth in sympathy with Germany, Japan and Italy, it seems that we should all take courage and do everything possible to defeat the common enemy at the earliest pos. sible moment. The power we need in this war is the blessing of Him who rules the universe. Without the help of this master mind we can not hope to make progress. The Record doesn’t intend to try to give its readers the latest war news. If our subscribers want to keep up with the latest war news we suggest that they buy at least one high powered radio and sub scribe for at least two daily news­ papers. One radio should be a pocket edition that can be carried a- round with you when you are forced to leave your home or office. After equipping yourself as stated above, we advise you to use your own judgment in deciding just bow much of the war news you can be­ lieve. There will be many false a. Iarms and much exaggeration. The American Red Cross is call­ ing for an additional fifty million dollars to carry on relief work in this country. This money is need­ ed now—not next month or, next year. The Winston-Salem Chap­ ter of the Red Cross, which is com­ posed of Forsyth, Davie and Yad kin counties, is asked to raise $75,- 000 of this amount. Dr. W. M. Loug, who has charge of the work in Davie county, is urging every man. woman and child in the conn ty to donate to this worthy canse. Give as liberally as you can. The need is great. We can raise our quota if everyone will do his or her part. We are at war, and there will be many calls for. help from the Red Cross Cotton Quotas Are Ap­ proved., Washington—For the fifth con. secutive year — aud on this occa­ sion in wartime -southern farmers have voted to produce aud market their cotton under a strict federal control program.

The total vote in Davie was 396, 360 for, and 34 against, with two challenged votes not counted. An Urgent Appeal To Davie People The American Red Cross is ask­ ing for $50,000, 000 immediately. The Winston-Sa­ lem Chapter, in­ cluding Forsyth, Davie and Yad­ kin conuties, is asked to raise $75,- 000 of this xggnount. Dr. W. M.

Davie School; Mrs. Mamie Bruton, Cooleemee; Mrs. John Vogler, Ad. vance; Miss Vada Johnson, Farm. Ington Let every man, woman and child in Davie contribute quick­ ly to this humanitarian cause. The following telegram was re­ ceived by Dr. Long from Norman H. Davis, of the American Red Cross: “Again the American Red Cross is called upon to serve our nation iu war Both nationally and Io cally we face vast and definite re­ sponsibilities for service to our arm­ ed forces and for relief to distressed civilians.

N EW YO RK -Air Vice Marshal Arthur Coningham, command­ ing the air aim of the British offen­ sive in Libya, probably could find „ . . . h i s w a yPaychologistsCan around t h e Find No Subjects fighting ter. Am ong the R .A .F . rain without a m ap or a compass. For many years, off and on, he has been scouting this sun­ burnt waste of jagged rock and sand, with the British air force, based in Egypt. He is a husky and good-look­ ing 46-year-old Australian, a group captain at the Calshot R.A.F. station in 1939, upped rapidly in rank since the start of the war, a veteran of every kind of air fighting and an air buckaroo who has ridden every kind of plane. His success and responsibility, however, is not all due to technical skill. It is a personality success as well, and it just now happens that personality resources in air wars is being authoritatively examined. Dr. Robert Dick Gillespie, distin­ guished British neurologist, now lec­ turing in this country, held forth at the New York Academy of Medi­ cine the other night, on the lack of neuroses in the R.A.F., as com­ pared to other arms of the fighting forces. The doctor's theory, which he says has been convincingly dem­ onstrated, is that air training and fighting makes for individuation which greatly strengthens personal­ ity resistance to the devastating nerve shocks of modern war. Marshal Coningham would make a fine laboratory sample. In all this department’s gleanings about his career, from various sources, it is emphasized that his every relation­ ship in his fighting command is per­ sonal. He has a prodigious memory and he likes persons, rather than people. He has a keen wit and ready humor. But he’s a hard-boiled dis­ ciplinarian. He entered the World war from his native Brisbane, Australia, at the age of 19, serving first in Samoa and then in Egypt. Coming to England, he joined the Royal Fly­ ing corps, where he knocked about in all sorts of primitive planes. He won the military cross and the dis­ tinguished service order- ■'i-; ■ •-- - W h e n Nebuchadnezzar married ” V Sl country girl, the daughter of Cyaxares, she was homesick and wanted a bit of foliage around the • . , , house. TheAerial Gardens of king put in Rockefeller Center just a few Surpass Babylon’s window boxes al first, then got really interested and built his famous hanging gardens. Rockefeller Center went botanical for an entirely different reason, and will, if it hasn’t already done so, surpass anything Babylon could show in the line of aerial agricul­ ture. The genius of the gardens in the sky is A. M. Van Den Hoek, horticulturist for the center, whose wizardry with growing things he successfully transplanted from' his native Netherlands lowlands to the Sixth Avenue highlands. We were checking with him on that chestnut tree he planted re­ cently. It has a mate and hive of bees ready for the big job. of pol- lenization at the first signal of spring. These trees were brought from China. , Weather-vyge i.and earthwise, the sky-higlrrag^er might have come out o | Vergil’s Georgies, but there’s nothing rural about his smart tailoring, or his red- leather, push-button office. But this setting is mostly for winter farming. In the summer, he wears overalls on his 50-1 acre, ground-level farm near Flem- ington, N. J. Alter studying horticulture in sev­ eral continental countries, he went to England, in 1905, at the age of 21. There he worked in the famous Rose Gardens of Hampstead and tended the ancient grape vine, the fruit of which goes annually to the king. After 14 months in England, he re­ moved to this country. He worked for two years in a nursery at Morrisville, Pa., then got a job with a Netherlands horticul­ tural firm. Advancingrsteadily in his profession, he became the horticul­ turist for Rockefeller Center in 1933. The skyscraper ^dnion crop was exceptionally gogd this year—also the cabbages, tomatoes, mint, kohl­ rabi, spinach.t-jajid carrots. The espalierd pearrSnftl apple trees are getting on famously ps are the 150 plane trees and .,JheVeight 50-foot elms that were planted around the center. Mr. Van Den Hoek just recently planted 25,000 tulip bulbs, of Hol­ land ancestry, via England. He says that these tulips are extraordinarily varied and beautiful, and seems to see in each of them a chalice of hope for his native homeland.

Why, perhaps, darling. But not this morn­ ing, funny boy; not before evening.” Such unquestioning five-year-old faith, and . she must watch its be­ trayal. Because there weren’t going to be any presents. There wasn't any money. Suddenly Davie screamed with ex­ citement and his mother went run­ ning to look out too. “Why, it’s a deer, Davie.” “Reindeer,” said Davie, without any question at all. “One of Santa’s, you think? May­ be the sleigh tipped over and all the presents spilled! Isn’t that too bad?” They watched the graceful crea­ ture until it disappeared into the woods on the other side. Then moth­ er returned to her baking and Da­ vie followed. ' “It’s a shame for it to happen just the day before Christmas when there won’t be time to make any more. How disappointed all the chil­ dren in the world will be! But you Two small blobs appeared far out against the snow. won’t mind so much, will you, Davie darling, because you’ll know what happened. Just think, you saw the deer! And wasn’t he beautiful?” “Yes,” Davie drew a long sigh of rapturous memory. He fell silent, then: “May I go out and play?” The eleven o’clock sun was warm and she bundled him out. Suddenly it was one o’clock and time for lunch. And she had heard no sound from Davie for an hour! No answer when she called from the door. Davie wasn’t in the yard. Of course he had gone to find the sleigh, the tipped-over sleigh and the presents. How could she have failed to consider the way a child’s niind would work? She dared not leave the baby, who had a slight cold, nor start out with her on a search which might last for hours. Nothing to do, then, but wait for Jock to come in midafternoon. It was three o’clock before a small blob appeared far out against the snow. Two small blobs, in fact. She waited, sobbing with relief. “I didn’t find Santa Claus’ sleigh, Mama,” he explained as soon as he could speak for her kisses, “but I found his house. She lives there— and that was one of his reindeer. The tracks went right into the yard. Santa Claus was gone. There was just a man asleep in the kitchen. I think he’s one of the toy-makers." “No, that was Ned,” said Goldi­ locks. “What’s your name, dea'r?” “Phillie.” As the afternoon wore on some­ thing familiar about the contour of the little face kept tickling her mem­ ory until realization struck. Golden curls and a blue zipper suit! Phillie! Ned—Ned Cozetti? Of course. This was the Bentley child. Phyllis Bentley, kidnaped Thanks­ giving day and given up for dead! Jock, bending to unlace his snow- shoes, was met by a whirlwind bun­ dled to its ears in shawls and sur­ rounded by three miniature whirl- i “Crank up the car right away. We’ve got to get into town before the telegraph office closes. Do you know who this child is?” The whirl­ wind gave a bounce and grasped his arm. “Phyllis Bentley, that’s all. And her mother thinks she’s dead and this is Christmas eve. Oh, hur­ ry! Davie was gone three hours to­ day and I know just how she must feel. And if we get hauled up for driving without a license, there’ll be ten thousand dollars to pay the fine!” Toys for Little Tots Can Be tNoise-MaherF Children from one to four years of age like noise-makers. For them we might suggest a set of a half a dozen baking powder tins, each with something in it to make a noise, as buttons, nails, paper clips, pebbles or screws. Since some of the con­ tents might be easily swallowed, the tops should be firmly cemented on before the tins are given two or three coats of enamel paint, each can a different bright color.

Cleaning Paint Brushes. LjvOR a really good paint job, ttie brushes should be of top quality, with long and flexible bristles. Quality paint brushes cost money, however, and I see many home own­ ers making use of cheaper brushes with which first class paint work cannot be done. It is well worth while to start with good quality paint brushes, for with care and attention they will last almost in­ definitely. When a paint job is in­ terrupted, the brush should not be left standing in the can, even for a few hours; the paint should be wiped off; the brush rinsed with turpentine, and then wrapped in waxed paper. The paint can, incidentally, should be tightly closed to prevent the for­ mation of a skin. At the end of the job the brush should be well wiped out, washed with turpentine, and protected against dust. One good plan is to suspend it in a can con­ taining turpentine, deep enough to cover the bristles, the bristle tips being out of contact with the bottom of the can. Paint will drain out, and the brush will be left in perfect condition. The can should be covered of course, to prevent the evaporation of the turpentine, a wad of waxed paper will serve. At the end of two or three days, all the paint will have drained out, and the brush can be wrapped and laid away. A brush should never be al­ lowed to stand on its bristles, for these would be bent out of shape. New House Problem. One trouble that is likely 16 come when a house is new is the forming of a crack between the edge of a built-in bathtub and the wall behind it. This is due to the shrinking of the timbers on which the bathtub is supported. With the splashing of water through the crack, the ceiling below may become spotted. ,The problem is to fill the crack with something that will make a water­ proof joint. One method is to pack the crack deeply with caulking com­ pound, which resembles putty, but never becomes quite hard; it re­ mains sufficiently soft to keep the crack filled, should settlement con­ tinue. The surface of the filling should be shaped by running the finger along it, and stickiness can be taken out by dusting with talcum powder. Another method is to cover the crack with a strip of material somewhat resembling rubber, that is made for the purpose and is on sale by dealers in linoleum. That is put on with a special waterproof cement. The effect is permanent. Taking Out a Wall. Question: We wish to remove a partition from between a large and a small room. We are told that it must be replaced by a support for overhead beams. Because of the different sizes of the. two rooms, the girder will not be in the middle, which we think would look bad. IWiat do you suggest? Answer: Have an examination made by a competent carpenter or builder to find out whether the ends of the floor beams above are sup­ ported by the present wall. If they are, the girder must be in a position to support them, regardless of ap­ pearances. You might be able to get a steel girder that would not. show as much as a wood girder having the same strength. Bough Paint. Question: In an old farmhouse the woodwork has had layer after layer of paint, so that the surface is ugly and very uneven. Can the depres­ sions be filled with a filler, or should the paint be removed? Answer: I think that your best move will be to smooth the surface with sandpaper, which for con­ venience, can be wrapped around a block of wood. Old paint in many coats is difficult to remove. If it must be taken off, have it done by burning, but be sure that this job is given to somebody who is really expert in it. The job wouH be. done with a blowtorch, and in inexperi­ enced hands there is danger of fire.Spiders. Question: My basement windows are always full of spider webs, in spite cd continued cleaning. What should I do to get rid of them? Answer: As soon as the webs ap­ pear, pull them down with a vacuum cleaner. This will remove many of the eggs. Other eggs are develop­ ing in cracks and crannies around the windows. Spray with any insect liquid, being sure that it penetrates these places of concealment.Oil and Asphalt Roofing. Question: The mineral surfaced asphalt Shingles on m y roof are very dry. Would it be correct to soften it with crankcase oil? Answer: It would not; for -the oil would dissolve the asphalt, and all the surfacing would come off. The makers of the shingles should be be able to supply you with a liquid asphalt coating, intended for the purpose. , ' Grease-Trap. Question: How can I make a grease-trap for my cesspool? Answer: It is hardly possible to make one, but a grease-trap can be bought at no great expense. It looks somewhat like a section of large sewer-pipe.' Go to a dealer in build­ ing materials.Perfume Odor. Question: How can I eliminate the odor of perfume from a bottle so that new perfume can be used in it? Answer: Rinse the bottle with am­ monia, which will “kill” all perfume odor. S a n t a ’s T r o u b l e s i Our mechanized age certainty puts Santa at a disadvantage, be­ cause his reindeer never had trou­bles like this. Several inches of snow prove too much for his modern carriage, so Santa Claus has to wield a snow shovel In front of a New York store to free it. (Editor’s note: Wonder what he does at the NorOi pole where the snow is really deep.) C h r i s t m a s M a r k e d I n E a r l y C o l o n i e s B y J o l l i t y , F e a s t i n g Early American colonies along the Atlantic seaboard could have been located on different continents, so far as their Christmas celebrations were concerned. Many of the customs of England were followed by the southern colo­ nies of Georgia, Carolina, Maryland and Virginia. Here the Christmas season wpas a holiday in the true sense of the word. Feasting and merrymaking were common, but re­ ligious worship and prayer were not forgotten. In sharp contrast to this happy celebration was the manner in which Christmas was marked in New England. Puritan leaders did their best to create a different concep­ tion of the day. Celebrations were declared pagan in origin, and it was believed such rites were out of keep­ ing with the true spirit of the day. Their efforts were overcome after a number of years and New Eng­ land yuletides gradually assumed a character more like those of old England. Christmas in the middle colonies of New York, New Jersey, Penn­ sylvania and Delaware was cele­ brated in the manner that the col­ onists followed in their countries of origin. Bi addition to England, these colonies were populated by people from- Germany, Holland and Swe­ den. The Germans, for example, brought to America the custom of using the Christmas, tree, but the Quakers of Philadelphia limited their observance to religious cere­ monies. Family reunions marked the sea­ son in both the middle and southern colonies. Houses were crowded with welcome guests who were treated to the best of fowls, wines and sweetmeats. Along the frontier Christmas was a season of .active merrymaking which in places verged on rowdy­ ism. As time went on, Christmas in the various sections of the colonies became fused until there is. today a considerable similarity of prac­ tices throughout the United States. S t . N i c h o l a s L o v e d F o r P i e t y , G r a c e The name of Santa Claus is mere­ ly slurring the Dutch San Nicho­ las, which is, of course, Saint Nich­ olas. American children are proba­ bly the only ones who say it exactly that way. Nicholas was an actual person. He was Bishop of Myra, in Lycia, Asia Minor, in the ,first part of the Fourth century, A. D. He was also the youngest bishop in the history of the church. From the day of his birth Nicholas revealed his piety and grace. He refused on fast days to take the natural nourishment of a child. But Nicholas'was not a barefoot recluse vowed to poverty. His fa­ ther was a wealthy merchant, and his riches enabled him to be a dis­ penser of the good things in life. The feast of Saint Nicholas was originally celebrated on December 0. Later when church people in the late Middle, ages tried to suppress the festivities which grew up around the Boy Saint’s day, his festival came to be associated with Christ­ mas day. Christmas' Celebrated in 98 Tradition says ,that Christmas was first celebrated in A. D. 98. It was ordered to be held as a solemn feast by Pope Telesphorus in A. D. 137. There is no record’of any commem­ oration during the life of Christ. About A.’ D. 340, St. Cyril made careful investigation as to the; actual date of Christ’s birth and reported December 25 as the most nearly cor­ rect date. Pope Julius accepted this and established the festival at Rome on this date, which was accepted by every nation in Christendom. Make Merry With Cookies and Candies!

Christmas again! How shall we keep it in a world tom by strife and poisoned by man’s bitterness against man? Let us keep it with all the joy and gladness at our com­ mand. Let us make this the best Christmas we and our families have ever had. How? By giving more and richer gifts? No—although they have their place when rightly given and received. By feasting and mer­ rymaking? No—-although they too have their- place when carried on in the true spirit of love and friend­ ship. What then? Let us make this an outstanding Christmas by cen­ tering our thoughts, our affections, our joys—yes, and our gifts of self and substance—around God’s Son, whose “birthday” we celebrate. May Christmas, 1941, be the best you have ever spent. This is the writer’s sincere wish for you. One way to make it just -that is to dili­ gently study our lesson for this next Sunday, which tells of the coming of God’s Son. I. His Coming and Charaeter Prophesied (Isa. 9:6, 7). God who was to send His Son into the world to become the Saviour of sinful man fittingly made known His coming through Isaiah (and others) 800 years before it took place. This greatest event in all history was the subject of exact and detailed proph­ ecy, which was completely fulfilled. Although Isaiah calls Him “a child” (as indeed He was), he saw Him as the divine One whose glory and pow­ er is revealed in the magnificent ar­ ray of names found in verse 6. “Wonderful,” a much abused and misused word, fotind its real mean­ ing in H im -H e really is wonderful in every way. “Counsellor!” He does not need or seek the counsel of others—He is the Counsellor. Have you sought His counsel? “The Mighty God”—not a mere man, but God unlimited in power. “The Ever­ lasting Father,” which is really the “Father of eternity,” the One to whom eternity owes its existence. “The Prince of Peace,” who will one day bring peace to the earth when He comes to reign; something we need not expect before that blessed day. Little wonder that “the govern­ ment shall be upon his shoulders” (v. 6), and that He shall reign on the throne of David forever. That is prophecy yet to be fulfilled, but it will be, even as the others, for “the zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.” II. His Incarnation and Redemp­ tion Completed. (John 1:1-4, 10-14). The Eternal One—who was in the beginning with the Father, He who was God and who made all things, this One who was the life and the light of men—humbled Himself and took upon Himself the likeness of sin­ ful man. He was “made flesh and dwelt among us,” revealing the grace and glory of God. The in­ carnation of Christ is a truth the greatness and glory of which we cannot fully understand; but we know that it was for us that He came—for our redemption. ■ The world—His own world—re­ ceived Him not. “But”—and thank God for that blessed “but!”—“as many as received him, to them gave he the power (or better, ‘the right,’ as in R.V.) to become the children of God.” Redemption is by a new birth, a divine birth,-“not of blood, nor-of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man.” It is a complete redemption by faith in Him who re­ vealed the- grace of Gpd to man. This is the great message of Christ­ m as. Let us not m iss it. But there is another word for this precious and blessed season—it is that of love. III. His Love and Onr Love Mani­ fested (I John 4:9-11). The love of God has been ex­ pressed in many precious ways, but the-full and final manifestation was in the sending of His only begotten Son into the world that we might have life through Him. ThiS is love supreme, that God loved us when we did not love Him, the altogether lovely One giving. His best and dear­ est in loving sacrifice for the alto­ gether unlovely ones. Such love in making the unspeak­ able gift to us must of necessity call forth from us not only love to­ ward Him, but also for one an­ other. Christmas is an excellent time to deepen and sweeten ' the love which’ exists between Christian brethren. W eneedtobedraw nvery close to one another for mutual en­ couragement, strengthening of bur faith, and for the'effective outreach of Christ’s love to the whole world through us. . . The eternal, glorious Christ came. He wrought out redemption full and free, He revealed God’s great love to us—and to all the world. What a delightful Cbristmas message that is. Let us receive it. and declare it. Fattem 2969. D E SMART! Crochet these mit- tens for that outdoor girl. The one laced up the baric is “tops” in red, white and blue.

By Eowahd C. JcaNisnHf A few years ago there was unveiled In Caracas, the capital of -the South American republic of Venezuela, a statue of a great Pan-American, TOie inscription on it, written in Spanish, reads: “Henry Clay, 1777-1852, Apos­ tle of fraternity' between the coun­ tries of America and valiant defender of their independence. The United States of . America presents to the United States of Venezuela this statue of its illustrious • statesman, speaker of the House of Representa­ tives, Senator and Secretary of State.” The statue, given in return for one «f General Simon Bolivar, the South American champion of independence and Pan-Americanism which was unveiled in Central park in New York city in 1921, was formally dedi­ cated by a distinguished delegation from the United States and the statue was received by the President of the Republic of Venezuela. This ceremony, which honored the man who, in the United States, hag been called "the First Pan-Ameri­ can’’ and “the Father of Pan-Amerr icam sra, was a one in I history of the nations of the N evh:story ot World. It was a gesture of friendship on the part of the most powerful of those nations to a smaller nation which has reason to feel grateful to an older sister in the Pan-American family. For to the Venezuelans the statue, erected in the square in their capital to which they have given the name of Plaza Henry Clay, means more than a mere memento of a great man. To them Henry Clay was a friend, not only a friend in words, but a friend in deeds as well and the monument will be a constant re­ minder of that fact and .of the inter­ national good will which prompted the presentation of it to their coun­ try. As early as 1816 Henry Clay began his campaign in the Congress in support of the colonies of Spain, then in revolt. Clay in his capacity as Speaker of the House of Repre­ sentatives,-reasoning that the United .States might have openly “to take part with the patriots of South America,” opposed the reduction of taxes incident to the War of 1812, and a year later likewise op­ posed a bill intended to stop the fit­ ting out of war vessels in United States ports, maintaining that such a bill might be detrimental to the in­ terests of South Americans who were still struggling for .their freedom. In 1817 he offered a proposal to authorize a salary for a minister to the provinces of the Rio de la Plata. Li March, 1818. Clay made the speech which is still gratefully remembered by South Americans. Like all of Statue of Haniy Clay In Caraeaw Venezuela. This speech gained lor the Ibtited States generally and Henry Clay in particular many friends among the South American countries, who were destined to increase when, in 1820, Clay introduced a motion into the Congress to inaugurate diplomatic intercourse with "any of the govern: ments of South America which have established and are maintaining their independence of Spain.” The next year, as the result of a resolution he supported. President Monroe sent a special message to congress and a resolution to' establish intercourse with the South American nations. When Clay became secretary of state in 1825, his zeal In promoting friendship between the republics of North and South America became apparent almost immediately. He has been hailed Os "The Fhtiier of Pan- Americanism” In the United States because of the steps which he took to encourage the success of the con­gress at Panama In 1829, which con­ vened at the call of Simon Bolivar: The United States was not in the first list of countries^ but Bt Clay’s sug­ gestion this country liter v a t in< eluded. The invitation gave Clay an opportunity to prepare instructions to toe United States delegation, which in every feature seems to accord with the principles which have governed toe Pan-American movement and toe Good Neighbor policy of recent yearn One of toe facts about Clay’s in­fluence upon the international policy ot toe United States which is not commonly known to most North Americans is in regard to the so- called “Monroe Doctrine.” The prin­ ciples enunciated in that famous docu­ ment Clay forecast in July, 1821. He had been pleading toe cause of the South American patriots with bril­ liance and fervor in Congress, which was more or less indifferent to it. Slowly, however, public opinion was won over and when finally in 1822 the purchase of Florida was ratified. President Monroe began to recognize toe new republics. The next year the President uttered the words which have been famous as the “Monroe Doctrine,” although they might more justly be called toe "Clay Doctrine,” for had not Henry Clay prepared the way for them and contributed ideas to the formulation of the doctrine, they might never have been uttered. Clay’s last great Pan-American work, as Secretary of State in 1825, was to organize European'influence, particu­larly that of Russia, to prevail upon Spain to discontinue toe war against her former colonies. The story of this man who was so signally honored m toe Venezuelan Hassing toe colors at toe statue of Simon BMivar in Central Farin New Xotk City, during toe recent celebration of toe 158to anniversary of Ms birth. Clay's orations, it was stirring; it was the first.plea.voiced for recognition of toe countries then shaking off toe domination of Spain.

"The people that walked in dark, ness have seen a great light; they that dwell in the land of shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.”—Isaiah 9 :2 . This text is a prophecy of Isaiah in regard to Jesus, the Light of tbe world. - This prophecy was made around 740 years before be came. God Enabled the prophet to look a. cross the centuries and tell the world that He would come as “a should have looked forward to. the coming of Jeshs in fulfillment of this wonderful prophecy! And we ought to look back to tbe time of His coming, more than nineteen hundred years ago, with very grate, fnl hearts. It was His coming that meant light and salvation to the people in Isaiah's day; and it was His coming that means light and salvation to ns in our day Bless His name. The people in Old Testament times looked forward to Hiscomlng and built their faith and hope upon Him for redemption; and we look back to the|time of His coming, and build our faith and hope upon Him also. Amen. From the day of Adam until the coming of Jesns they offered their bnrnt offerings and sacrifices for sin, all of which was typical of Christ who should come as a Redeemer. Everything pointed to Him. The sacrifices they offered were only a substitute. In fact salvation has ever depended upon Jesus. Without Him no one could have been saved, and without Him no one can be saved, and no one can ever be saved. Sin brought darkness to the earth —deep, dense moral and spiritual darkness. Nothing could equal it. For all these centuries and thous of years since man sinned and fell from his high and hold estate of spirituality there has been great darkness on tbe earth among the human family. It continues today. However, God provided light for ns through Jesus Christ, but only those who really and truly accept Him, and walk in the light ' He sheds on our pathway through this world, have ever found light for their souls. Those who accepted the types of Him before He came, through sacrifices, only fonnd light and salvation for their souls. Only those who repent of all sin, believe on Him to tbe salvation and sancti. Gqation of their souls. today, find light. He is tbe way, the truth and the life.- EverythingoutsideofHim is but emptv and void. The most dangerous thing in life is to walk in the darkness of sin. And sin casts its dense darkness of sin. And casts its dense dark, ness over every nook and corner of the earth where man is found. To walk in sin and wickedness is not only the most dangerous thing, but is the most unsatisfactory thing. Nobody can be found who is abso- Intely satisfied -with-his life as be walks in the .darkness of sin He fears and the great beyond. He has a guilty conscience lashing him along life's journey. He feels tre­ mendously handicapped. He never rises to where he realizes he should. Heblunderson and on in.moral and spiritual darkness, wasting his precious time and golden opportu. nities of life. He feels his limita- tions. He knows bis wretchedness. The darkness of an compasses him about. However, there is light for every soul Yes, marvelous, glorious, beautiful, wonderful light. It is in the Christ of Bethlehem, \he Christ of Calvary, the Christ ot glory. It is in the King of Kings and the Lord of lords. "The peo pie that walk in darkness have seen a great light-; they that dwell in Senatorially Speaking The two United States Senators of North Carolina were back in the news again, todav, but not in a way criculated to stir State pride In the breasts of many Tar Heels. Senator Robert Rice Revnolds, blushless benedicts that he is, an. nounced in Washington following bis fifth honeymoon; "I am acan. didate for reelection and an active candidate. I have been a candi­ date since I was elected the last time.” The man from Buncombe then proceeded to reiterate his isolation­ ist, anti British stand His term does not end until 1944 . Senatoa Josiah W. Bailey, also up for re-election—In 1942 —may or may not be entitled to share In tbe fact that the appeal of his son James H. Pou Bailey has been put up to Brig. Gen. Lewis B Her- shey, National Selective Service Director, to determine whether or not the young man will have to go to the Army. The only reason The Record h a s connected the tw o Tar Heel Senators in this editorial, is because they both mnst face the same stigma when they come be­ fore the electorate. The foes of 'Our Bob” will surely not forget to remind voters that Robert evad­ ed service in the First World war; and youog Pou Bailey by making a stiff fight, possibly with the aid of the prestige of his father, to evade service in the present emer­ gency, isn’t adding to tbe canse of the Senior Senator. Young Bailey’s case is highly important because of the Senior Senator. Young Bailey's case is highly im­ portant because of Senator Bailey. The Record submits. He was classi­ fied a i-A by his Raleigh Draft Board asking reclassification on the flimsy excuse that he was valuable to tbe FBI in whose service be had enlisted fonr days prior to the ap. peal. Although the District Appeal* Board upheld the local Raleigh Draft Board, thus keeping young Bailey in i-A things have happen­ ed to put the case in th.- lap of Washington officials. Lt.-Col. Joseph F. Battley, Na­ tional Occupational Director who operates under the assistant Secre­ tary of War, because sufficiently interested to ask North Carolina dtaft headquarters about the case. This might mean that Senator Bailey’s son will be fonnd too va. Iuable as a potential FBI man to be spared for ordinary Army, service for which tbe sons of ordinary pa- pas are being generally drafted. Tbe Washington decision will be final so far as the present state of facts is concerned. Until Washington officials reach a decision, Bailey’s local draft board in Raleigh, can not take ac­ tion on calling him for service. And so, at tbe present writing, Tbe Record finds it difficult to see anvthing very inspiring in the pa. triotic records of either of our two United States Senators.—Hickory Daily Record. the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined ” This light is Jesns, the blessed Son of God. '‘But If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, anJ the blood of Jesus Christ his Son deansetb ns from all sin.” (I John 117.). O if multitudes of people of who are walking in darkness today, and going hellward, would turn to Jesns, repent, and accept Him as a personal Savior, what a wonderful Christmas this would be to them! Tfaev could havethe light of Heav. en filling their darkened souls, and could “rejoice with joy Unspeakable and full of glory.” “Why not? It is God’s will concerning all men. Dear ones, turn to Jestts now. He will save you. Beauty Parlor Invades Scbool. At the same time that New Jer­ sey’s State Budget Commissioner. Andley H. F Stephan- protested the expense and results of home econo­ mics teachers at New York Univer­ sity embarked on an ambitious pro­ gram that included visits to New York City’s smartest beauty parlors and dressmaking shops. Mr. Stephan contended that home economics, as taught in the public schools, made girls dissatisfied with ordinary homes and caused them to desire furnishings out of the range of the average youth’s pocketbook. More than that, he believed this re gimentation of tastes was playing havoc among moderta young people with the traditional “rugged indivi­ dualism”—that they came- out of school too much alike. Few will quarrel with women for wanting to make themselves as at­ tractive as possible. Just how this concerns the schools is another ques­ tion. Apparently it is merely another step toward making the schools take practically every phase of modern life. Instead of concentrating on the| fundamentals of education, the mo dern idea seems to be to regiment every phase of the student’s iife. Mr. Stephan voiced a serious criti­ cism of modern education that is well worth the careful study of every! citizen. ''We are fast coming to a point where we don’t have money enough to finance programs we have developed under the name of educa­ tion. We will wind ud with just as socialistic form of government if we keep going the way we are as if we adopted Communism.” ANOTHER ILLUSTRATION A New Yorker’s geographical ig­ norance of the United States is get­ ting to be a standard American joke, but when its more tragic aspects are carried into the American school room the situation ceases to be hu­ morous. An allegedly true story has beer told of a New York City public school teacher who bought a new car and suggested to a friend that they drive out to Kansas City over the week-end. Tbe teacher actually thought the crip to Missouri and back to New York Citv could he made in two days with time over for visiting Other New Yorkers, when- asked if they had ever been weBt, have replied, “Sure, I’ve been to Pittsburgh ” And with the excep­ tion of Hollywood. Florida, resort places in New England and the bet­ ter-known western race tracts. New Yorkers in general have only a vague idea of the location of cities, states, lakes, rivers, and mountains, the great distances between them and the length of time it takes to reach such. As those who have children of school age well know, education ex­ tras now take up so much a student’s time that the basic courses are often neglected. The progressive idaa has gone so far that it has been serious lysnggested that a course in con­ tract bridge be taught as a regular high schoql course. The ' public schools have proved that they can do their original job well. But. if we continue to pile on the extras, it is doubtful if they can survive under the load. When “pro gress” reaches the point where it minimizes English, spelling, mathe­ matics. geography and the like, it is time, to call a halt and retrace our steps. Good Cider.

The Absent Minded Driver Suppose we think of life todav, Was it given to be used in a ca e less way? Is life to yod a precious plan That you may serve both God and man? Does God give life to us for play? Or to take a chance on a smooth highway, Or E week end trip to a mountain view And leave rhe church with empty pew? Wha, is life to mortal man To abuse it with his reckless band? They enter' their car and slam the door. And press the accelerator to the floor. They race along with absent mind. With two wheels across the center line; They meet the trafic, with heavy load And often for e them off the road. We love our state in which we live, But we don’t think they should give A driver’s permit to those untrue To endanger traffic the season thru. I. N PARKER. Cboleemee, N. C. s Hoss-Trading a Lost Art? A Guilford farmer is preparing to bring suit against a mule dealer of High Point as a result of the darndest bit of horse-trading we lever heart about. This is how j High Point papers tell it. i Over a year ago the farmer pur- ' chased a mule for $45 , but his new animal was not entirely satisfactory I so he took it back to the mule- ; dealer and wanted to trade. The dealer was willing. And so they trade for still another animal, this time tbe farmers giving a difference of ^ 130. But the farmers must have had an obsession about mules, because a couple of months later be was back again looking over tbe mule-dealer’s stock. Tbev traded for the third t'me, and this time the farmer had to give the mule dealer bis note for the “boot."” Well to make the story come to the point, this is what the farmer claims: He claims he has traded mules nine times with the dealer, and that on the ninth trade he discover­ ed that tbe dealer had foisted off on him that the animel be got way back on the third swap. Not only that, but he still owes for tbe mule and the dealer has a mortgage on his bouse and farm as security.— Thursday.

Home Ior ChristmasI For a moment, Lyd­ ia was struck with a sharp Ioneli* ness for all the old familiar faces and places of her childhood. After all, die could fly West. It had been a long while since she was home. Longer than she had realized. And besides, it might be a pleasure to return to Mountain Creek, sophisticated and handsome and sleek with her years of New York and foreign living. The door opened. Carter Wain- wright entered the dining room. As if by magic, Kato purred in from the pantry, laden with hemispheres of golden melon in valuable silver bowls. “Good morning, Lydia,” Carter’s voice was warm and pleasant. "Good morning,” she smiled. Lyd­ ia reserved her tenderest and most womanly smile for her employer’s husband. "How’s Eve?” "She had a restless night Dr. Mason is calling at 10. I’ve sent up a very light breakfast” He frowned. “Talked with Mason last week. He's not optimistic. Bab­ bled about the will to live and that sort of thing. Confound it, why Should Eve lie upstairs in that mon­ strosity of a bed and just slowly rkcfe away? She has everything to live for.” Lydia nodded sympathetically. 11Well,*' his voice was impatient, "I do the best I can.” He ripped open Margot’s letter with a ruthless forefinger, scanned it hurriedly. Lydia spooned a mouthful of mel­ on, waited breathlessly for his next words. "Margot Haines is coming to New York for the holidays,” he boomed- cheerfully. “She and that old aunt of hers. Going to stay at the Wal­ dorf.” The melon halted coldly in Lyd­ ia’s throat. “That’s silly,” he went on impa­ tiently. “Why don’t they stay here? A hotel’s a cold place to spend Christmas. And Lord knows this place is big enough for a guest or two. We could have a nice dinner party, maybe. You’ll make the ar­ rangements, Lydia?” "Of course,” feebly. * * • When Carter had departed for the office Lydia wrote to her mother. "Dear Mother — You’ll have to count me out this year.

Across the proud candles and spotless damask of the long mahog­ any table his wife’s cool eyes met his. "A letter from your mother?” she asked idly. ’ Kenneth nodded, annoyed. Phyllis Shannon turned amused eyes to the salad before her. “I suppose,” she mentioned casually, “she wants you—us—to go back to McuiHsin Creek for Christmas.” “She does.” ‘•It’s a pity,” Phyllis’ regret was almost genuine, “but this year is simply out of the question. We have ali our plans made.” Kenneth reread the letter care­ fully. “I haven’t seen Mother in - how long—it must be over six years—” “Five years. The Summer we went to Los Angeles we stopped off at Mountain Creek. Marilyn was two years old then.” "Five years is a long time.” Phyllis was properly sympathetic. "Yes, it is. But she will persist in living in that dreadful town, a mil­ lion miles from anybody and any­ where.” -The luxury of his surroundings pressed upon Kenneth. "It was always a happy house,” Kenneth said, more to himself than to the beautiful woman who was his wife. Phyllis' well-bred voice beat against his ears. "It’s sweet of her to want you—us—but I’m sure she’ll understand.” "Understand what?” He was de- Uberately rude, deliberately inviting a quarrel. But Phyllis was difficult to pro­ voke. Calmly she continued, ‘T m rare she’ll understand that a man in your position has certain busi- —and social—obligations. After SYNOPSIS ever, Sha plus a last IanUly reunion and writes to each of her tour children. Iordla, Kenneth, Robert and Sally, Invlt- Inf Oem home to Mountain Creek far the '-lgjM4»y*.

Lydia couldn’t come. 44K t. Wainwright invited a houseful ol guests,” she wrote M l. ..I- all, your father was a doctor. Surely your mother can realize—” "She’s getting old,” Kenneth said suddenly. "She’s only 65,” Phyllis smiled. “And die’s a strong and sturdy woman. She must have been to have worked the way she did.” She must have been strong and sturdy,.- indeed. Strong and sturdy and indomitable, to have faced so tirelessly the hard and thankless work of a farm woman. “Father has the house party all arranged,” Phyllis was gently per­ suasive. “And Mrs. Andrews will be there,” she added as an after­ thought. Of course Mrs. Andrews would be there. Mrs. Andrews was a fabu­ lously wealthy old widow, alone in the world. And the Clinic needed a new maternity wing. "Nobody understands ' Mrs. And­ rews the way you do,” Phyllis smiled. "And besides, Father prom­ ised Marilyn a Christmas party of her own. And you know how eager she’s been about it.” Yes, Marilyn was like her moth­ er, winningly and persistently ea­ ger. Kenneth sighed.« * * Later, In his room, Kenneth strug­ gled with the proper, polite and re­ gretful phrases for breaking his mother’s heart. The check was al­ ready written, a generous check, blushing in little waves of embar­ rassment and guilt. "Dear Mother,” he wrote, "if only your invitation had come earlier. But Phyllis and I have made plans for Oiristmas that we cannot break at this late date. And, of course, things are so situated at the clinic now that I cannot be absent for more than a few hours at a time. You know what a doctor's life can be. I am inclosing a check. Buy yourself a new h at.' I know it has been a long while since I was home, but, as you say, you will have the other children with you and won’t be too lonely. Phyllis and Marilyn and I will try to make the trip a little later on. Or maybe we will have better luck next Christmas. Love, Kenneth.” “Oh, well,” -he thought to him­ self, “maybe next Christmas—” » • * - Mrs. Dorgan’s select boarding house presented an unusually 'bleak appearance. The third floor back at Mrs. Dor­ gan’s was an unhappy cubbyhole, rendered even unhappier by the waiting presence of the landlady herself. As Robert Shannon opened the door, he saw her sitting ii the bat­ tered rocking chair, inevitable as death. Mrs. Amelia Dorgan viewed her tenant with a frigid eye. “I wanna talk t’ you,” she mentioned omi­ nously. “Now wait a minute, Mrs. Dor- gan,” Robert protested. “I told you I was expecting a letter this week and—” .Her glance, was .discouraging.. “You gotta letter. I brung it up myself.” The letter wore no New York post­ mark. Robert faltered, “This is from my mother. The letter I was expecting would be from my sister in New York.” Mrs. Dorgan stabbed him with a vicious logic “I give ya till tomor­ row,” die announced, "an’ if y’r board ain’t settled then, ya needn’t bother coming back I ain’t in busi­ ness tor m y health, an’ I can' rent this room a dozen times over.” Robert ripped open his mother’s letter and dragged out the single sheet of nots$aper within. Five worji bills fluttered from the enve­ lop*- and fell bravely to the color- Ie^g carpet. He. snatched them up, counted them' desperately. Fifty dollars. He rushed to the door. i !‘Mrs. Dorgan — this letter — I didn’t expect—” His hand trembled ashe proffered a bilL She snatched it suspiciously. “Ten dollars,” she. said reprovingly. “On account. I told you I was expecting more tomorrow.” > The green engraving slid from ,sight. "There’s still $20 more due,” she reminded Um. Robert went back to his room', closed the door and recounted the remaining miraculous bills. Forty dollars—enough to buy the desired dinner jacket, enough to re­ deem his typewriter from the pawn­ shop, enough to make it possible for him to sit like a gentleman in the same room with Perry Boyle, the publisher. Robert shivered with delight and relief. It was not until then that he read his mother’s let­ ter. Home to Mountain Creek for Christmas? So that’s why his moth­ er, usually so careful of money, had sent him the bountiful letter. But—the writers’ banquet? ' “I can’t go back now,” he thought frantically. “I can’t. I’ve staked too much here.” Too much indeed. Three years of Mrs. Dorgan and her icy eyet three years of greasy meals, faded wallpaper, lumpy mattresses. Tluree years of tapping endlessly on the patient typewriter, of waiting in outer offices with manuscripts under his arm. Three years of -re­ jection slips. It wasn’t fair; it wasn’t just. This was Robert ,Shannon’s chance and he meant to nave it Sophie Nash was making it possi­ ble for him to attend this dinner. So­ phie knew Perry Boyle; not well, it is true, but well enough to make a casual introduction. The rest would depend upon Robert. He had to be at that dinner. If he went back to Mountain Creek this Christ­ mas of all. Christmases, he had lost his one great chance of placing his novel before an interested publisher. He sat down at the rickety table and dipped the scratchy pen. Hk mother would have to understand, that was all. “Dear Mother,” he wrote, "your letter was welcome and the money was a godsend. I was down to my last dime and I was desperate. Something has happened that makes it impossible for me to come home for Christmas, however. There is a dinner I must attend, an important dinner. I have carted my novel from one publishing house to another, but I' am unknown, and nobody even bothered to read it. But this dinner will give me a chance to meet the most important publisher in the business socially. I have to go. Everything depends on it. I know you’ll understand. When the novel is published—and it’s bound to be—I know it will be—I’ll pay you back a dozen times. Sorry about everything, but maybe I can make it next Christmas. Love, Rob­ ert.” “Next year,” he exulted, “maybe,, next year I can go back to Mountain Creek and prove to them I made good. Maybe next Christmas—” “Two letters for Miss Shannon," the gaunt desk clerk stated. Sally took her letters over to the bulky sofa in the. corner and sur­ veyed them gratefully. The first was carefully-addressed in Dan Da- vis’ ■ sniafi-town chirography tc “Miss Sally Shannon, Hollywood Club for Working Women, Hidlr wood, California.” ?

THE CHRISTIAN’S HOPE LESSON TEXT—John 14:14; RevelaUon 8:1-5. G(KJ)EN TEXT-In my rather’* housed are many mansions.—John 14:*. Hope is something this world des­ perately needs, and which it has all: but abandoned. Little wonder when; one recalls that the usual meaning; of hope is hardly more than “wish­ ful thinking” without any real confi­ dence—and that such, hope as men have,'has been only in their IeIlow- men, who have so often grievously failed them. The Christian’s hope—ah, that is something quite different. To him hope is certain expectation resting on the assured Word of God. Such a light only shines brighter as the darkness deepens. As the lights of men’s promises and purposes flick­ er and die out, the hope of God’s people shines like a beacon in a dark and stormy night. How appropriate that we- should use the last Sunday of this year to remind one another of that hope, to trim the lamp, as it were, for even brighter shining, as we cast its beams out into the unknown year just ahead. There are three great and helpful things in Viis lesson. I. A Sore Promise of Heaven (John 14:1-3). We are not forgetting that for u s: who love the Lord there is the bless-1 ed hope of His return. He is com-; ing again (v. 3). But whether we! have the joy of being caught up to be with Him ,or go by way of death, we have a sure promise of the eter­ nal dwelling place which He has prepared for us. “Let not your heart be troubled” —the very words come like the Balm cl Gilead upon our restless, troubled lives. Faitii in God and in Christ— there we have the sure anchor of the soul. He has promised. We may count on His fulfillment. We show our faith in our fellowmen by trusting their word, even though they often fail us. Shall we not then fully trust the omnipotent, nev­ er-failing God? n. A Safe Way to Heaven (John 14:4-6). Our Saviour has not just gone be­ fore us and bade us follow as best we may, but He is Himself the Way. Having Christ, we have the way. Observe that He does ,not say that He is the “way-shower,” as one re­ ligious system names Him. He is not just an example, or the master- teacher, or a martyr to a holy cause. He is “the way, the truth, and the life.” Note, too, that no man comes to the Father but by Christ. Dr. Wil­ bur M. Smith points out that “the apostle Paul in his epistles constant­ ly emphasizes the truth that we have access to the Father only through the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom. '5:2; Eph. 2:13, 18; 3:15; Heb. 7:25; 10: 19-21). Jesus is not one way to God, He is the only way to God. Men cannot come t c GrOd through any­ one, but only through Christ.” Someone may say, “That’s very true, and wonderful. I am a Chris­ tian, and I have Christ who is the way. -But what is heaven like? m . A Symbolic Picture of Heaven (Rev. 22:1-5). First of all there is “life”—the river of life, the water of life. In heaven there is no death, but only eternal life, blessing, peace, and joy. In this world man lives under the constant shadow of death as the en­ emy which hurts, destroys, and re­ minds him of sin. But in heaven all is life through eternity. “ W hen w e’v e been th e re ten thousand y e a rs B rig h t shining a s th e sun, W e've no less d ay s to sing G od's p ra ise T han w hen w e first b e g u n /’ Then we have what Dr. A. C. Gaebelein calls “the seven glories of the redeemed” (w . 3-5). Let us enumerate them. (I) “No curse”— perfect sinlessness: (2) “The throne of God and of the Lamb shall be therein”—giving perfect and bless­ ed government forever.- (3) “His servants shall serve him”—in per­ fect, unhindered, untiring service. Heaven will not. be idleness (perish the thought!), but blessed and hap­ py service for God. (4) “They shall see his face”—an eternal, undimmed vision of God. (5) “His name shall be on their foreheads”—speaking of eternal' ownership and possession. (6) “There shall be night no more” —God is the light throughout eter­ nity. No more darkness to fear. (7) “They shall reign forever and ever.” Few of us would care to reign in this world, for that brings only sor- 1 row and trouble, but to reign: with ! H im ;‘'that, indeed will be eternal; blessedness. So then we have—a sure promsie of a heaven to which we have a safe way, and concerning which we have such blessed knowledge. But what good is the promise if we do not accept it? What good is the way if we do not receive Him? What good is there in knowing about. heaven unless we are going there? 1 "Everybody talks abc&t ■ .heaven, ain’t going there” sings the folk song. Are you? Or are you only going to talk about it? By VIRGINIA VALE(Released Iqr Westen Newspaper Union.) I T IS difficult to knoW what to say about the National Legion pi: Decency’s banning of Greta {Giarbo’s new picture, “Two- Faced Woman,” with Archbish­ op Spellman also condemning it, and various cities banning it as well. Hie plot, that of the woman who poses as her twin sister to prove to her husband that -she is glamorous, has been used in Holly­ wood over and over. -Will H. Hays’ office had passed the picture. There is hardly a picture-goer who hasn’t seen things on the screen > that shocked him. But since “Two-Faced Woman” was banned, there must have been some excellent reason for it j — * — £)o you remember that delightfid story, “The Constant Nymph” ? It will be made again by Warner Brothers, with Charles Boyer and CHARLES BOYER - Joan Fontaine—who can have prac­ tically anything she wants these days—in the principal roles. Bob'Hope and Victor Moore are to be teamed in Paramount’s ver­ sion of "Ready Money,” the farce about a young man who becomes a financier by mistake. Last time it was filmed was in 1914, after it had been a successfulstage production. Barbara Stanwyck may have, con­ tributed a new slang phrase to our language. Daring the making of “Ball of Fire” she happened along when Director Howard Hawks and the picture’s authors were trying to think of something slightly slangy for her to say when she walked up to some men she didn’t know very well, in a night chib. “That’s easy,” said Barbara. “I’ll say ‘What’s buzzin’, cousin?’ That’s what we used to say In Brooklyn.” It’s in the picture. “For Whom the Bell Tolls” is un­ der way even though the cast isn’t complete. More than 120 techni­ cians and actors left Hollywood re­ cently for the loftiest location site in film history—a spot 9,300 feet up in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Technicolor and long shots had to be made now because of favorable snow conditions, similar to those in the book. Donivee Purkey knew what she wanted years ago; now she’s got it. She wanted to get into the movies; she worked hard in high school and college dramatics, for four years, and a Paramount talent scout plucked her out of a college play and sent her to Hollywood for a screen test You’ll see her, proba­ bly, in “The Fleet’s In.” Oh yes— she changed that name to Laura Lee. — * — Wben Gilbert Roland, Philip Reed, Errol Flynn and other Hollywood- ites who like tennis enter Uie an­ nual motion picture tournament next spring they’re likely to rue the day that Paramount signed up Jim Brown, who’s now playing the ro­ mantic lead in “Out of the Frying Pan.” Brown is Texas tennis cham­ pion. Radio’s “Woman of Courage” has two leading women who made names for themselves in the mov­ ies in the days when radio was a lot of strange machinery and a cou­ ple of ear phones. They are Esther Ralston, one- of the most beautiful blondes of that day, and Enid Mar- key, one of the most striking bru­ nettes. — * — If you’re a star of “Meet the Peo­ ple” you’re destined for- Hollywood fame, apparently.' First Virginia O’Brien, then William Orr, signed up' for the movies. The third mem­ ber of the cast to -face the' cameras is Betty Wells, who was -nabbed by Metro.

PARTO N(Consolidated Features—WNV Service.) 1^ E W YORK.—There’s a nice al- A ' !iteration in “Cape Town Clip­ per,” and an invitation to rhyming which in other days might have In- terested Tin C lipper's Sktpperi P an A lley, tfe 'i a T o p p e r; T h e tall. Job’* a W hopper! H onI 1 boy- ish - looking Capt. Harold E. Gray, who brings the ship back from the Belgian Con­ go on a round trip of 19,961 miles, is smart and good looking and could walk on in a Jerome Kem musical, - commemorating his exploit, but it is a safe bet that he never will. Just a glance at his work sheet for the last IS years shows that he had to keep his mind on his work to at­ tain this eminence. ! There may never be a Casey Jones of the air, the bucko lad who will ride anything, any­ where, on the slightest provoca­ tion. Just a look at the dash­ board of a modem plane is enough to convince one of that. Even the Lindbergh saga might have been different if it had been paced to differential equa­ tions. But, of course, there will be another Kipling with another “Night Mail,” who will And In modern air transport an exalt­ ed theme—this time fully real­ ized. Justnow thereseem stobe no master or Journeyman of poetry or prose who is quite op to It. As to being a Clipper skipper, any lad who starts to day-dream his way into the job had better make other arrangements. Here are a few but not all of the qualifications of 35-year-old Captain Gray: He is a master mariner, a licensed engine mechanic, a li­ censed airplane mechanic, a graduate radio engineer, a li­ censed radio operator, a first class seaman and the holder of certificates in international law, maritime law and business ad­ ministration. That’s about par - for the course on the ocean fair­ ways for the men who command the big flying ships. Mr. Gray was bom in Guttei berg, Iowa, in 1906 and left the Uni­ versity of Iowa to take flight train­ ing at Brooks field in Uie army school. He later went to the Univer­ sity of Detroit and took a degree in aeronautical engineering. He flew first for the Ford Motor company, and then joined the Pan-American Airways for flights to the Canal Zone. ,In 1931 he took up studies for his'master pilot rating and be­ came one of the youngest men to attain the highest flying rank of "master of ocean flying boats.” Theater of War Between U.

Som e per­ sons informed in finance in politics say they do and some say they don’t. Miss Cathrine Curtis, the tall, Junoesque lady who organized women investors in America, a few years back, not only insists that women do have all this money and say-so, but makes it a business to see that they get a play for it—a big new feminine pressure group if you want to put it that way. At Washington, Miss Cnrtis leads her embattled 70 per cent —if that’s wbat it is—into a fight against price control legislation. Her battle is one of many, on various public issues, which she has centered at Washington. In her home town, Glen Falls, N. Y., where her father ran a hotel, the 18-year-old Miss Curtis saw Gus Thomas’ play, “Arizona.” She fol­ lowed it around the up-state circuit and became so saturated with it? romantic glamour that she kept right on going—to Arizona. There Harold Bell Wright saw her and put her in his moving picture, “Shep­ herd of the Hills.” This was her start in various moving picture and ranching enterprises. It was in 1935 that, in New York, her present home, she organized the women in­ vestors. It appears that nobody ever has figured out how much of-that 70 per cent is merely something in the wife’s name for safe-keeping. This chart shows the naval strength of the Axis and Allied navies. Latest figures available are shown.

Settlement oc­ curs as the foundations are forced deeper into the earth by the weight of the house, and also by the shrink­ ing ot timbering as it dries out. Set­ tlement of the foundations can be prevented by adjusting the size and thickness of the footings to the char­ acter of the ground; wide footings for ground that is soft or that has been filled, and narrower if the ground is firm and solid. The great­ est shrinkage in timbers will be in tiie cross section; that is, in breadth and thickness. If there are many more layers of timber in the frame­ work of an outside wall than in that of an inside wall, the outside wall will settle more than the other. The walls should be so designed that they have the same thicknesses of timbers. Settlement will then be equal in all parts of the house, and there should be no cracking of plas­ ter or distortion of door frames. Some degree of settlement cannot be avoided, and cracking is worse when it is greater in one part of the house than in another. With equal settle­ ment there is no trouble. Bathroom Decoration Question: How can I cover or re­ move an enamel combination of orchid and black from my bathroom walls? I should like to finish the walls with white enamel. Answer: If the walls are now tiled, the color can be changed only by sandblasting or with an acid treat* ment that will eat into the glazed surface, which will then hold enam­ el. If the surfaces are of plaster.or a tile substitute, the enamel can be taken off with a paint remover. An­ other method would be to cut the glaze of the enamel by rubbing with medium coarse sandpaper, which would give a “tooth” for new enam­ el to bond with. However, if the black is not removed, more coats of enamel must be used to hide it than would be needed over a lighter color. Clogged Drain Question: The drain pipe outside m y house has very little pitch, and makes a right turn: It frequently clogs with grease at the angle. The only way to clear it out is through a cleanout plug. Can you make any suggestions? Answer: One way to get around that trouble is to install a grease trap under the kitchen sink, which would separate out the grease be­ fore it could reach the drain pipe. The trap would require occasional cleaning, but this would be a much simpler matter than your present arrangement. A good plumber should be able to supply Uie trap and install it. Baseboard Crack Question: Through settlement, there is a crack up to three-eighths- inch wide between flooring and base­ board. The house is 14 months old. Is it time to close the crack by mov­ ing the quarter-round moulding? Answer: You can do that job at any time, provided you do it cor­ rectly. The strip of moulding should not be nailed either to the baseboard or to the flooring, blit with long nails put in diagonally to pass through the open joint between flooring and base­ board, and into studs and other tim­ bers behind. This- will keep the crack closed, regardless of settle­ ment. Porcelain Sink Question: I am told that lemon juice will injure a porcelain sink, and that hot water in which pota­ toes have been boiled will make a stain. Is this true? Answer: Any kind of an acid will eat into ordinary porcelain on plumb­ ing fixtures; but fixtures of good quality,.- and especially sinks and drainboards, are finished with acid proof porcelain. Stains in sinks can usually be removed with a liquid bleach. Damp Ceiling ( Question: On one of our bedroom ceilings there is a spot which be­ comes wet in damp or rainy weath­ er, although there are no leaks, the water cannot get in. What will pre­ vent it? Answer: The plaster at that spot is evidently of a kind that absorbs dampness from the air. To pre­ vent trouble, put a coat of aluminum paint on the spot at a time when it is dry, decorating it with the rest of the ceiling. Smokepipe Spacing Question: What should be the space between the smokepipe of a combination coal stove and the wall? Answer: For a plaster wall the ! space should be 18 inches. If the I wall is woody the space should .be I greater, or the wall should be cov- I ered with a sheet of asbestos board. I Heating System Question: My large single house i has nine rooms. The hot air sys­ tem is in bad condition. Would it be better to have it repaired, or to install radiator heat? How can I get in touch with a reliable concern for this work? . Answer: Whetiier or not the sys­ tem is still in- good -enough condi­ tion to justify repairing can be told ■ only by -examination. Ask for rec- [ ommendations at your bank, and at large real estate, agencies. Names I which appear oh all of their lists I ■'nild be dependable.

It’s Up to You Whether Your Cape Will Be Long or Short B y CH ERIE NICH O LAS Ip VENING wraps are so refresh- ■*-' ingly “different” looking this season they thrill one witn tneir newness of theme and technique. The fact that many of the smartest evening wraps are now made of handsome wool weaves is a depar­ ture from the beaten path that is attended with excitingly new fash­ ion interest. Add to these richly colorful wools a sumptuous embellishment of glit­ tering embroidery or applique, as designers delight in doing this win­ ter, and the after-five fashion parade becomes a pageantry of re­ splendent beauty. In this new movement of embroid­ ered evening wraps, capes either long or short are the big sensation. Made of bright wool or of velvet they are given an air of newness with richly embroidered yokes that extend down over the shoulders and sometimes down each side of the front closing. Regal looking, indeed, are the full length velvet capes that fashion- minded women are wearing this season. A striking version of this type is shown to the right in the illustration. This model holds a particular note of interest in that it was displayed at a fashion show staged at Copacabana Palace, Rio Janeiro, recently under the aus­ pices of the British Fashion Tour. Over a hundred beautiful costumes, designed by couturiers who fled from Paris to London, were shown. For this striking evening ensem­ ble Norman Hartnell, the designer, uses rose-colored moire for the lovely gown, with black velvet for the stunning floor-length cape. Rich colored jewels embroider the cape and the low decolletage. A draped velvet bow-toque and long black gloves make it correct for all for­ mal wear. Capes of this type are to be seen in increasing numbers as the midwinter season advances. It is well worth keeping in touch with this new cape movement for it is rapidly developing into a wide­ spread vogue. In the young set as well as among the more mature, capes made of bright wool mark “last word” chic with utmost em­ phasis. ‘ Hip-Iength capes are as fashionable as the full-length types. The colors of the wools that make them are gorgeous and daring, such as, for instance, the new and lovely cerise, the deep plum tones, the fire reds and. the Kelly greens. Black with gold is also a favorite and the younger generation is reveling in white wool capes that are gaily em­ broidered in peasant colored yams. Typical of the long wool evening coats worn this season is the dra­ matic full-length black wool coat pictured to the left in the group. On the yoke and all the way down the front opening there is an ap­ plique of gold cloth encrusted with jewels. Centered in the picture is a coat that is marvelous for holiday par­ ties. Persian influence is reflected throughout the styling of this coat, which is of rich black wool, the zip­ per closing assuring a smooth un­ broken line and extra warmth. An extravagant gold boullion and bright bead embroidery stresses Persian color and technique. So outstanding is embroidery in the scheme of things this season that even fur capes are showing embroidery done in yoke fashion. Mink with sparkling brown sequins is very effective, while jet on black broadtail or Persian lamb is in per­ fect tune with the new mode which calls for black ori'black. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Slender Princess Coat Has Capelet and Bows An interesting new coat silhouette looms on the current style horizon. It is a slenderizing cloth coat cut along princess lines, and it has a pert little capelet to give it youth. The capelet itself makes big fashion news, but it adds to its newsiness by taking on novel trimming such as hand-tied yam fringe to finish it off, or a pleating of wide velvet rib­ bon, or maybe a flat velvet border­ ing. As to fur edgings and band­ ings, these jaunty little capes revel in them. An interesting, future is in promise for the cape-coat. N ew L in g e r ie N eck w ea r F o r P la in B la ck D ress The lingerie neckwear vogue is taking a new lease on life. Very at­ tractive are the simple black frocks with which are worn exquisite large pleated sheer white or lace-trimmed collars. It adds allure to black- and-white to fasten the dress with sparkling rhinestone buttons. F le e c e C oats Fleece is not only a major factor in medium price sports coats, but there is a definite trend toward lux­ ury fleece coats with fur collars. Dyed in high, vivid shades of gold, green or fuchsia, the new fleeces are ideal to wear with gay print frocks at winter resorts. There will also be a great deal of white fleece seen, along with those tinted in off- white shades. T w in k le T o e s ' Your evening slippers must glit­ ter with rhinestone embroidery or with sparkling beadwork. Bows on your evening pumps are set with rhinestones' or scintillating jet beads. Newest of all are the nail- head-studded shoes that are worn tor less formal occasions. Z e b r a S t r i p e s r ® i It is considered the smart thing ♦his season to give chic accent to one’s costume with accessories that are daring and unusual. Zebra striped black and white velvet is used for this striking turban and glove ensemble. It is an excellent duo to wear with a basic black dress for afternoon. This year many mil­ liners are' making companion bags and gloves to match hats, so keep this in mind when buying new ac­ cessories. Or should you be of the self-reliant type and can “make your own,” you can find patterns for gloves, hats and bags in most stores where pattern service is available. These offer styles to fit your purse and your wardrobe. ‘Peace on Earth .. {< P EACE on earth, good will to t men!” There seems to be precious little of either on this Christmas day. Yet that’s not so unusual. Glance through the pages of American his­ tory and you’ll find plenty of ex­ amples of. Christmas days given .over to war, instead of peace, and to ill will, instead of good will.. . It has been true since this repub­ lic was founded. The first Christ­ mas after the signing of the Decla­ ration of Independence saw George Washington and his Continentals struggling to keep alive the fight for liberty. On the evening of Decem­ ber 25 he crossed the Delaware, at­ tacked Trenton and spoiled the Christmas celebration of Colonel Hall and bis force of 1,000-Hessians, killing 22, wounding 84 and captur­ ing 868. The American casualty list was only four wounded. But if Christmas, 1776, was bright with victory, Christmas, 1777 was correspondingly dark with despair. For it was spent at Valley Forge and that fact speaks for itself. Christmas, 1786, was scarcely a time of good will among the men of the new nation, especially in western Massachusetts where armed men were marching over the hills and through the valleys, ready to plunge their state into the horrors of a civil war. For on that Christ­ mas day the incident, which has come down in history as “Shays’ Rebellion,” was mounting to a cli­ max because a people, driven to DANIEL SHAXS despair by poverty, high taxes and a loss of faith in their government, had resorted to armed force to right their wrongs. Their leader was Daniel Shays, who had served with distinction for five years in the Continental army and came out of the Revolu­ tion a captain. But the “Patriot" of 1776 became a “rebel” in 1786, was driven out of his native state when the governor of Massachusetts called out the militia to suppress the “rebellion” and died a poverty- stricken exile in 1825. In 1836 the Texans won their in­ dependence from Mexico and for a time there was peace between the two countries. Tlien the Mexicans began making raids on Texan terri­ tory and the Texans, under Gen. Thomas Jefferson Green, deter­ mined to retaliate. Over the pro­ test of Sam Houston, an army of 304 men invaded Mexico. On Christ­ mas day, 1842, they met a force of more than 2,000 Mexicans under General Ampudia at Mier and after killing nearly half of the enemy were induced by false promises to sur­ render. Thus the famous “Mier ex­ pedition” ended in disaster, for later, by order of Gen. Santa Anna, every tenth Texan was executed. Four years later the Americans and Mexicans were at war again— this time a formally declared war— and on December 25, 1846, Col. Alexander Doniphan of the First Regiment of Missouri Mounted Vol­ unteers was fighting a battle with 1,200 Mexicans at Bracito- river. The Mexican loss was 63 killed and 150 wounded; the'American, seven wounded. December 25, 1860, was a fateful Christmas in American history. On that night a little force of soldiers, commanded by Maj. Robert Ander­ son, stole quietly out of Fort Moul­ trie and occupied Fort Sumter in the middle of the entrance to the harbor of Charleston, S. C. Four months later the Commander of the Confederate forces in Charleston called upon him to surrender; he refused and when a shell went screaming across the waters to strike Sumter’s brick walls it set 2,000,000 Americans against each -other in the greatest civil war in history. ~~ Happily, not all Christmas days in American history: have been dedi­ cated to war. On Christmas Eve, 1814, John Quincy Adams, Albert Gallatin, Jam es Bayard, Jonathan Russell, and Henry Clay, American commissioners, m et with represen­ tatives from Great Britain in the city of Ghent in Belgium, to try to end fire long-drawn-out .negotiations which had kept them there since the preceding August. Perhaps the spirit of Christmas filled them. At any rate the wrangling ceased and they signed the treaty which ended the War of 1812. *r1 £ .* 'to J ‘i - Let a Star-Studded Ham Say Merry Christmas!

You can depend upon your holiday dinner to go over if you serve a ham, glistening and shimmering, baked in sweet, spicy juices. Wrap the ham in clean wrapping paper. Place fat side up on - a rack in an open pan. Use no water. Bake in a slow oven. Hams weighing 16 to 18 pounds require 4 to.4% hours baking; 12 to 15 pounds, 3% to 4 hours; 10 to 12 pounds, 3 to 3% hours; and 8 to 10 pounds, 2% to 3 hours. Remove paper and all rind.

For your masterpiece, the ham, serve a sauce that’s rich and jewel- red. Ladle it over the ham gener­ ously to bring out the best in the meat. Like all good things, the sauce is a simple, good-tasting combina­ tion.

Just before serving, heat beets, fill cen­ ters with cooked, seasoned green peas, heated piping hot. Don’t forget the big, overflowing bowls of fruits and nuts for the family to nibble on during Christmas day. Cluster raisins, apples, yellow, supple bananas, and nuts in the shell—all these the family will want to make their festivities complete Tke children will give you three cheers if you string red cranberries and popcorn on a string and hang on the tree or in their stockings. Steaming the Pudding. Plum puddings are best when served piping hot. This means they should be steamed for at least l %-2 hours before serving. If the pudding is in a mold cover with a lid or with heavy waxed paper. Place on a rack in a large kettle. Have about 2 inches of water in the bottom of the kettle, and have this water boiling all the while. More water may be added if necessary. A double boiler or a pressure cooker may also be used to good advantage for steaming. To serve, unmold the pudding and garnish the platter with holly or other leaves and bright berries. LYNN SAYS: Few holidays can offer you the same decorative possibilities as Christmas season, so make the most of the evergreens, berries, cones, candles, ornaments, and rich colors. Here are some centerpiece ideas which would be effective: Use a green wreath on a mir­ ror and fill with evergreen branches dipped or sprayed with white, paint and place brightly colored ornaments or fruits among the branches. Surround candles with pine branches and cones and have sev­ eral small silver bells around the base of the centerpiece as though they came out of the branches. Make a gingerbread house, frost with a thin powdered sugar icing and sprinkle with silver snow. Set this on a mirror or surround with spruce or pine branches and (RdeaMd by Weatern Newepaper Union.) earning money tnaTTAay possible new furniture, education, a new home.

ReJ Cross, OCD Look to Yolanteers For Civil Defense Washington, D. C.— To the ques­ tion, “What can I do tor America?” the Hed Cross is providing an answer ' for liaitdreds of thousands of men and v i m who want to do ttoir part on the civilian defense front. For women, the Red Cross Ib pro­ viding an SO-hour training course to • recruit a corps of 100,000 Norse’s : Aides. It Is the Red Cross’ newest ; project, undertaken at the request of the V. S. Office of Civilian Defense to relieve the current pressure on nurs- ing facilities. I 'With thousands ot nnrses being taken Into military service with our ' armed forces, civilian nursing has suf- fered a direct bfow, the Red Cross points out Moreover, the defense pro­ gram has created additional health problems which has heightened the , need for civilian nursing. J Red Cross Nurse’s Aides will serve as assistants to registered nurses, per­ forming scores of important duties which will enable nurses to care for more cases. The Red.Cross stresses that Nurse’s Aides will not take the place of the registered nurse, but will serve in an auxiliary capacity. On the more dramatic side of civilian defense, the Red Cross is gearing its far-flung disaster fighting machine to handle mass feeding, housing and clothing ot exacuees tinder wartime conditions. In cooperation with the Office ot Civilian Defense, chapters Land posters^at this office* are strengthening disaster relief com* mittees to cope with man-made disas­ ter inuch on the same scale as relief operations following natural catastro­ phe. Organization along these lines include preparedness measures for fires, explosions and epidemics which may be expected to result from accel­ erated industrial activity incident'to national defense or sabotage. Strictly as a precautionary measure, the Red Cross is devising means of confronting emergency relief In tbe event ot sporadic air or sea attacks, considered conceivable hazards in some coastal and boundary areas. The need for First Aid In civilian defense has not been neglected by the Red Cross. Last year nearly 600,000 were trained in emergency treatment of the injured. This year the figure is expected to go much higher with special emphasis being placed on the formation of detachments which would serve as units in factories, office build­ ings, schools and other places where persons are concentrated. Red Cross courses In Home Nursing and in Nutrition also are being ex­ panded as a feature of the civilian defense program, It was pointed out Mounting health hazards and the short­ age of civilian nurses may at any time obligate the housewife—or even the man of the house—to assist In caring for the sick. Likewise, the Red Cross is placing greater emphasis on Nutrt- tion courses designed to teach house­ holders the art of purchasing and pre­ paring well-balanced meals within the range of the family pocketbook.
