The reaping is inevitable. It is as sure to come as nigbt follows day. Men don’t have to sow evil seed, but they do have to reap tbe harvest.' There is a) ways an increase when men sow tbe seed of sin and wickedness. They naturally bave to reap more than they sow. It is true in the natural world; it is true In the mo­ ral and spiritual world. Indeed it is. Men and nations bave been on a wild rampage down through the ages, and now the fearful harvest has to be reaped. Never have we seen the world so wicked as today. Men became so ungodly, wicked and mean until God destroyed them from the face of the earth with a flood, except tbe eight souls who went into the ark; and our Lord tells ns in His holy Word that it will be like it was in Noah’s day when He comes back to earth again. Men demand the pleasures of sin regardless of tbe awful consequen­ ces. Only a few years ago when our nation was dry, and principally free from the dreadful curse of beer ann liquor and wine, there were those who were not satisfied. They wanted to gratify their ungodly appetites with these curses, there­ fore voted out the eighteenth a- mendment, and put our prohibit, ion laws, and now strong drink is flooding the nation, and with it heartache, trouble, suffering, mis­ ery, woe, death and damnation. And fot many years ' there has been a gradual triend away from- the Bible and its holy truths and teaching, and a gradual trend to- waid modernism, atheism, Commu- nistn, and various false and destruc­ tive doctrines; a turning away from the old family altar, and from the Sunday rchool and church; a turn, ing away from real revivals of Holy Ghost salaatiou; and a mighty tur­ ning toward intemperance, adultry, amusement, evil, wicked pleasure of all kinds, hence the most horri­ ble war in all history. Wben men and nations sow to the flesh, tbe world and tbe devil they have to reap the fearful harvest The reap, ing time is here, O the cursed harvest! There is but one thing left to do now in order to escape hell, and that is repentance aad a mighty turning back to God. If men and nations do not repent, then tbeb shall have to reap the fearful harvest forever in outer !darkness. Mrs. FDR’S Trips Bring Protests Washington.—The cross-country trips of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, which bave established her as the most traveled President’s wife of all time, have, become a source of iacreasing embarrassment to tbe Office of Defense Trauspoitation, it was learned as Mrs. Roosevelt re­ turned from a cross-country jaunt to visit bet daughter, Mrs.- John Boettiger, In Seattle. Wash. Tbe ODT has been making re­ peated appeals to the public to re­ frain from all except necessary re­ strictions. These pleas have brought an increasing volnme of an­ noyed letters to the ODT in which the writers say they will **stav at home when Mrs. Roosevelt does." A Few Feet of Wire’ In Philadelphia, Neal* McFadden built a six room dwelling for himself and family and then discovered WPB wonld not allnw him enough wire to connect bis electric stove. I War Bonds should mean something more to yon than Just *'a good sound invest­ment.” Figure it out yourself. Food Fumbling Repeated warnings of practical food men that the nation faces the worst food crisis In its history go unheeded by tbe New Deal. Every effort by those people best qualified to point the way to at least a partial solution Io the grave problem. bas been resisted by the President and his advisors. The recommendations of the Re­ publican Congressional Food Study Study Committee for centralized food control, increased manpower on the farms, readjustment or eli­ mination of existing price ceilings responsible for the lack of certain foods and that rationing be bal­ anced with actual supply, fall on deaf ears. Even the President's own food appointee. Chester Davis, who in­ cidentally, is tbe only practical food man called in by the-New Deal administration for high office, was compelled to resign because of Irck of cooperation from tbe White House and because he could n^t go along with tbe Administration’s im. practical policies. Perhaps Feed Industry Council’s chairman, J. A. McConnell, was correct in his evaluation of the sit­ uation. Said Mr. McConnell: “James F. Byrnes and bis New Deal associates do not understand food in the first place and in the second place they are more inter ested in politics than tbey are in production.” “Poor Henry” Wallace It is not difficult these days to feel sorry for Henry Wallace. One can almost say with feeling, ‘‘Poor Henry,” about tbe ex-Iowa farm boy who went to the city and learn­ ed to talk a language tbat he doesn't seem to quite understand First Henry took out after Se­ cretary of Commeice Jesse Jones with his new found words. And the repercussion blew Henry right out of bis official duties and left the Vice President presiding over the Senate. Then “ Poor Henry” picked some more fancy words out of bis re­ cently acquired foreign vocabulary. He attempted to label all who dit­ ier with the New Deal as Ameii- can Fascists. And tbat opened up the opportunity for tbe press and Republicans to point out vividly to the public as (tbough it were not perfectly obvious to the public) tbe Fascist tendencies of the New Deal toward government control over all of our lives. Finally Henry (or whoever is writing these strange words so un­ like the Iowa corn country Ian guagej came out for an end of tbe economy of scarcity and announced bis undying allegiance to a capi­ talism of plenty. He tried to blame the scarcity theories on everyone but the New Deal. But Henry (or someone) forgot Io read all of the Vice President's past speeches and his performance while Secretary of Agriculture. He forgot tbat in tbe early days of tbe New Deal, the professors and "Poor Henry” thought tbat was wrong with America was that we were over produced; there were too many machines in factories. Henry forgot that it was he who killed off tbe pigs, told the farmers what to plant and what not to plant. For years tbe Vice President was under hre tor bis economy of scarcity. Now he has found out be was wrong all the time but wants some, one else to be the whipping boy. Apparently since Henry bas been visiting with tbe professors be bas come around to agreeing with Har­ ry Hopkins that *'tbe people are too dumb to understand.” As one fellow explains it, ‘'kiss­ ing a girl because she lets you is like scratching a place that doesn’t itch.” Blame Break-DownsOn Congress As breakdown follows breakdown in the home front war machine, the New Deal politicos are seeking "a goat.” And evidence continues tn pile up tbat an attempt will be made to biame the failure of OPA, the foodstuff program—in short, all mis­ takes which bave hampered the war effort—on Congress. There is visibly an effort to con­ vince the American people that each time the national legislature exercis­ es its judgment upon Administra tion policy, each time it rises above the “rubber stamp” role, it is inter­ fering with the conduct of war. When Congress legislates on labor policy, the White House .declares it must be held responsible for future strikes in industry.' When Congress turns “thumbs down” on the subsidy program, with which the New Deal hopes to again buy control over agriculture, the White House tars it with the infla­ tion brush. When Congress wields the econo­ my axe on non-war bureaus and on over-padded Federal agencies sue as tbe OWI1 tbe charge of playing po­ litics and aiding and comforting the enemy is hurled. Nearly everything Congress does to hold run-away bureaucracy with­ in bounds, the New Deal administra­ tion brands as disloyal. In spite of all tbe smearing, Con­ gress tries to do tbe job assigned to it by the farmers of the Constitution, iand it the effort to “get” the legis- tative body succeeds, then repreaen tative Government will die in Ameri­ ca just as it died in Germany when tbe Reichtag was dissolved. If Con­ gress is again forced back in the role of a rubber stamp, tbe people will iose their voice in Government. It is of tbe utmost importance that Senators and Representatatives re­ turn to Washington after their sche­ duled recess, with tbe knowledge that they bave confidence of their constituents. With such confidence of their constituents. With such con­ fidence th5* independence of our leg­ islative branch is assured.—Es. Editors Know Action To Take Ironton,Ohio—Representative T. A. Jenkins, of Ohio’s 10th district, chairman of the Republican con gressional food study committee, recently polled 1.000 editors and publishers throughout the country to learn their views on tbe food problem, Here aTe a few of tbe answers he received to tbe question, "What do you suggest we can do to get greater production and con serve our supply of food?” ‘Shoot all city farmers In Wash, ington.” ’‘Put bureaucrats in productive jobs, put them to work.” "Get a new President and stop this wicked foolishness ” “Fire Paul McNutt; he messed up Indiana.” "There is nothing wrong with this country that a good election can’t cure/' "Sick of government by racket; if F. D. R. would forget politick aud the fourth term it would help.” ‘'Get rid of New Deal boondog. gling; get a new administration in Washington.” “Let up on cock eyed Washing­ ton regulations.*' Any excuse you sa;: give for S'* not upp’ng yonr payroll sav­ ings will please Hitler, Hiro- Uto and puppet Mussolini.

Let Us Pray (By Kev. Loy p. Thompson) The Psalmistcries unto the Lord: "Have mercy on me, O God; ac cording to thy loving kindness; ac­ cording to tbe multitude of thy tender mercies blot out mv trans­ gressions.” These words suggest to us tbat tbe writer was aware tbat he was down in the danger zone of life and longed for safety and deliverance He knew tbat were dangers within and without. In tbe midst of life’s insecurity be dared to adventure upon tbe Divine compassion and sought healing from the bills of God. Tbe Psalm­ ist knew that tbe mercy of God was a storehouse filled with treas­ ures tbe door of which was always open When we find ourselves in ttap danger zone of life we ougbt to learn to turn to God for security. He can help us find the way to safety. We sing sometimes, "Lord Plant My Feet on Higher Ground.” Very we(l do we realize tbat there is greater security on the bigb levels of spiritual aspiration and moral trnth than on the low levels of im morality. Many people boast tbat they do not worry about tbeir sins but even so they try to keep tbe public from finding out what they are doing. Some one bas written a novel in which an old woman says tbat she does not bother about tbe Ten Commandments but tbe Elev­ enth Commandment gives her con. siderable anxiety, namely; thou sbalt not be found out.” Spiritual insecurity is tbe thing tbat keeps our minds worried and our souls in sore distress. We can appreciate very readily the feeling of the Psalmist when he pleads with God in these meaningful words: ‘‘Ac cording tu the multitude of tby ten­ der mercies, blot out my transgres­ sions.” Who has not cried out, Have mercv upon me, O God; ac* cording to tby loving kindness. When we find ourselves in the dan. ger zone of life let us form the ba bit of looking up and of seeking those heights where God is both sun and moon. High thoughts bring great satisfaction and joy.

Japan Passes the Peak General MacArthur has never been inclined in i:is public utter­ ances to magnify tbe successes of his command in the Pacific nor to minimize its reverses and the dang­ ers which lie ahead. Therefore bis statement that the enemy in tbe Pacific has “exhausted the fullest resources of concentrated attack of which she was capable, bas failed and is now on the defensive” need not be subjected to any discount for over-optimism. Our victories, he says,' “have been decisive of the final results in tbe Pacific.” He has never spoken with anything but absolute certainty as to victory over tbe Japanese. Wbat he says now implies clearly tbat tbe time of victory bas been advanced be­ yond most of our expectations. Georgrapbically we have not ad­ vanced far in our campaign to drive the enemy out of his easily-won empire in the South Pacific. Every step that we have taken has been hard and costly. But every step we have undertaken since the Ma. rines first set foot on Guadalcanal a little more than a year ago bas been successful. Every effort tbe enemy has made to beat as back from our determined march north­ ward from Australia has been over, come. We have engaged in a test of strength with the enemy, and he has failed. This is what MacArtber undoubtedly means when he says tbat our victories have been deci- sive of tbe final result. For tbe re. suit For the resources at the command of our Pacific forces have been small. We might have turn­ ed the tide faster, and sooner, if men and materials bad been with, drawn from. other fronts for this purpose. But we are to s e more plainly now than ever before the wisdom of the policy of concentra­ ting our major strength against Hitler and all, eating to the Paci­ fic front only such tools of war as could be spared from the European front without jeopardizing tbe main objective. For there can be no question that tbe effect of tbe crumbling of the European front already is being felt in the Pacific. —Norfolk Ledger Dispatch. Notice! Sale of Land Under Mortgage Deed.

CHAPTER VO One of the nicest things about working in the kitchen in Battery C of the 13th Battalion has been the knowledge that its number-one chow hound, Buster Charnley, would drop around after supper and the conver­ sational fat. It’s like a letter from home to listen to Buster’s slow and mournful drawl, and his refreshing­ ly dry humor is a pick-me-up at the end of a long, hot afternoon. Buster came prancing up the chow line, the other evening with a grin that started at the back of his head and enveloped his face from the nose down. “What’s eating you, Walter,” I asked him, “—besides that egg-suck­ing grin?” “Leaving here, boy!” he sang. “You won’t see me around for three months. And when you see me, son, you’ll see stripes on my sleeves and a look of prosperity on my clean-cut Tarheel face!” The man behind him wanted to get to the mashed potatoes, so Buster had to move on down the line, I got the whole story from one of the kaypees while I waited for him to make his evening call. Of the 200-odd men in Battery C, two men had been selected for three months' training at Fort Sill, Okla­ homa. At the end of their three months, they will come back as gun­ nery instructors, with a non-com­ missioned officer’s rating and a spe­ cialist’s extra pay on top of that. Mrs. Walter Charnley’s little boy Buster was one of the two men selected. One of the sergeants near here came back from a recent leave with one of the most glorious shiners that ever darkened the human eye."Run into a door?” I asked him. “Gave a guy the wrong answer,” he replied simply, “or rather, the answer he didn’t want.” I looked at his face; his teeth were all there and his jaw was still in one piece. I looked at his hands; the knuckles showed the marks of service. “I was at a party," he went on, "when this fellow who lives next door to my folks wants to know •how’s the morale in the Army?’ Vi "Leaving here, boy," he sang; “Ion won’t see me aronnd forthree months. Then I'll be wearing stripes on my sleeves.” ‘Excellent,’ I tell him; ‘excellent!’ He looks me up and down sort of pitying-like and wants to know don’t I read the magazine stories about how poor it is. Well, I tell him, ‘I spend all my time with the boys and I believe what I see more than what I read.’“He goes on from there making cracks at the Army and the country and the suckers we are for giving our time for what’s not worth fight­ ing for in the first place. I listen politely for a while, because even though I’m not in uniform I don’t want to look rowdy. I stand as much as I can and then I. ask him to his feet. It isn’t long before his three brothers join the fight. It was one of the brothers put his finger ring in my eye.” “Brother,” I told him, “that ain’t a black eye. That’s a badge.” “I lost the fight,” he said. ‘‘You won the argument, though," I told him. “I’d like to use the sergeant’s name, but he made me promise not to.”“I told the Old Man,” he said, ‘‘that I got the shiner playing base­ ball.”—Pa— “How can I fit you into a coat,” moaned Supply Sergeant Israel, “with you fidgeting around like a race horse at the post? Stand still, dern you, stand still!” “Heavens to Betsy, Thomas,” I complained, “you’re getting to be the fussiest old maid in the outfit. I’m not squirming!” "In the first place, my man,” he said, “don’t call me Thomas or try to get overly IaatBlar with your eld­ ers and betters. In the second place, don’t argue with.me. In the third place, don’t fidget in the first place. And in the fourth place, don’t agi­ tate me unnecessarily. I’m at the end of my patience with you and I ain’t feeling in no holiday spirit anyway.” I buttoned the handsome winter blouse and he stepped back to in­ spect it with the eye of an artist. “Every time my wife gets mad at me, she has her picture taken to send to me. The picture I got to­ day showed she’s going to eat my heart out unmercifully when I can’t put off my furlough any longer and I have to go home. And with do­ mestic difficulties on my hands, I have to fit your winter uniforms.” He yanked at my coattail, straight­ ened the collar and scratched his head. “Hargrove—37 long,” he yelled to the boy at the desk. "Man that is bom of woman,” I comforted him, “is of many days and full of trouble.” “Git off the platform and into this overcoat,” he sighed. He held the coat while I got into it and he slapped my hand for fidgeting again. “Sometimes I wonder why I go to so much trouble keeping you boys dressed right. Here I spend the whole afternoon wiping sweat out of my eyebrows, just to see that your clothes fit you and you won’t look like a bunch of bums—which you are. “Do you know what some ungrate­ ful kitchen termite said the other day? He started putting it around that the Army could double itself in half an hour by filling up the extra space in its trousers. Do your trou­ sers fit you bum?” He straightened the pleats in the back of the over­ coat and gave the tail an unneces­sarily vicious yank. . “Did I say they didn’t?” I groaned, raising my arms despair­ ingly. “Just because somebody else says you stretch the coat in the back so the man will think it fits right in the front, you have to go picking on me!” “Me pick on you?” he screamed. "It’s a wonder my nerves ain’t com­pletely shot! Do I come around and put signs on the door saying, ‘Walk Up One Flight and Save Five Dol­lars’? Do I throw gunny sacks on your bed and ask you to take up the cuffs two inches? “With my thankless job, it’s a wonder I haven’t collapsed before this. I wish I was a permanent kitchen police instead of a supply sergeant. Hargrove — 37 long! NEXT!” “This battery is my baby,” Cor­ poral Henry Ussery said, loosening his belt for a real bull session. I’ve watched it grow from thutty-one men to what it is now. It was hard work building up this battery to what it is now, but it’s worth it when you look around and see what you’ve done.” The assembly sighed en masse and decided to loosen its belts. Us- sery was wound up again. “When I got here, there wasn’t anybody here but the instructors. We spent four weeks eating dust and running rabbits. There I was—I’d spent thutteen months learning the old drill and tactics to where I reckon I had it down better than any man in the whole Army. Then they started this ‘minute Army,’ with a bunch of green ignorant Yan­ kees—and I had to teach them what they had to know!” The bull session nodded wisely and Corporal Ussery went on. “Now, this young Corporal Joe Gantt, for instance. Now, this Corporal Gantt, when he first came in, was one of the greenest rookies in the bunch. But he snapped out of it and made corporal in four months. “Was that soldiering,” a voice broke in, “or handshaking—a* the Latins used to say, mittus flop- pus?” “Much as I can’t stand Gantt, I’ll have to admit it was soldiering. That’s the way it is. You sweat your head off hammering Uie drills and the calisthenics and the military courtesy and guard duty and the physical hygiene and- the manual of arms into them. They’re all clumsy and awkward as a bear in an egg crate at first, but then you can see them, after a while, snap­ ping into it and getting better and better. By the time we’ve had them thutteen weeks, and they’re ready to be assigned to their posts, they’re as keen and alert as a bunch of West Point cadets. They’re extra good cooks and better soldiers.” “Isn’t a good soldier a specialist at griping and growling?” somebody asked him. “Griping is an art, just like gold- bricking is an a rt Before you leave here, you learn that you don’t enjoy griping a bit when you spread your energy all over everywhere, griping about everything. You learn to choose one thing and specialize in griping about that. “If you want to be a specialist at griping, you have to get on your toes. You get to where your clothes are comfortable. Where you used to think the food was terrible, now you pretend that you don’t get enough of it. You like the beds and by nine o’clock you're sleepy. So you have to find something special to gripe about. If you haven’t got any originality at all, pick you out one special noncom and gripe about him. N ».N .U . 6 E A V I c E. “Now, you take Private Hargrove, for instance. First came here, he griped about me telling him he was carrying his rifle wrong. Now he gripes when I tell him he’s carrying it right. He might have something there. He still carries it tike it was a 75-millimeter gun. He’s getting so shiftless, even at griping, that he can’t find anything to beef about ex­ cept not getting any mail. I’m going to write all his creditors, so he won’t even be able to gripe about the mail.”-*a- Somewhere on the wild coast of South Carolina, the battalion in which I cook is being treated to a weekend to combine business witb pleasure. We can romp in the At­ lantic while we get a “taste of the field.” With the wind blowing the sand into kitchens and pup tents alike, it will be nice to get back to At night we sleep, or simulate sleep, in pup tents made by our own bands with loving care. Fort Bragg for a taste of the food we eat. A vexed soldier here doesn’t grate his teeth. He crunches them. We made the trip here in lorries, which are the mechanical age’s nearest approach in appearance to covered wagons.’ You’ve probably seen them rolling noisily but smoothly through town—large can­ vas-topped trucks with a fold­ ing bench down each side inside. You’d expect to be hauled out of one of them, beaten to death, at the end of a 130-mile trip. They give a tolerably bumpy ride, just tolerably. When we started pitching camp, about a quarter of a mile back from the beach, we found the place al­ ready inhabited — by cannibals. These creatures, which masquerade as harmless flies and even camou­ flaged by the harmless sounding name of sand flies, must have vam­ pire blood back in the line some­ where. I don’t bear any grudge against the easygoing, good-natured house fly—in fact, I feel rather cruel when I squash one for tickling me—but it arouses my pioneer fighting spirit to see a stunted horsefly light on my bare leg, make himself sassily com­ fortable and start draining off my life’s blood. But what can you do? Slapping one only serves to make him mad at you. At night we sleep, or at least we simulate sleep, in pup tents made by our own hands with loving care, blood, sweat, tears, two pieces of waterproof cloth, two lengths of rope, and a handful of turned lum­ ber. I share my little duplex with Pri­ vate Warren, the new student cook who told me the story about the man at the boarding house. When I stumbled home last night, primed to the gills with a blend of sand .and salt water, I discovered that we had an overnight guest! The chief cook on our shift, in the task of packing the field kitchen, had neg­ lected to put his own field pack (tent half, • blankets, etc.) on the truck, so he decided to drop over and have us put him up for the night. A pup tent, as you probably don’t need to be told, will accommodate two men, provided neither of them walks in his sleep. If three men are to sleep in one tent, at least two of them must be midgets or babes in arms. Cooks should never sleep two to a tent, because of their tendency toward plumpness. We arranged ourselves in the tent by wrapping knees around the tent poles, putting all feet outside for the night and raising one side of the tent high enough to make a rus­ tic sleeping porch of the whole af­ fair. The guest proved to be one of’ those loathsome creatures who pull all the covers to their side of the bed. We had quite 9 lot of trouble with him, since he slept in the middle and rolled up in both our blankets. We remedied this by wait­ ing until he started snoring, then recovered our blankets, rolling our. selves in them and throwing a rain­ coat over him. The three-man arrangement was very uncomfortable for a while. When I finished opening my eyes by scooping the sand from them, I found that I had rolled through the opened side of the tent and spent the night under a myrtle bush ten yards down the slope.During my first off hour, I suc­ ceeded in getting a tan which must have darkened the very marrow of my bones. My chest, back, and legs looked the color of a faded dan­ ger flag and smelled like the roast pork that the cook forgot to watch. After that", the surf and the stut went their ways and I went mine.

Its sixty fifth anniver­ sary held this year in the midst of war conditions is an indication of ihe spirit of the enterprise of the people of Davie County. The program was of a high order and the entertainment on th e grounds was clean and wholesome, and the dinner and refreshments were unsurpassed. However, the outstanding feauture of it all was the spirit and the soul of the peo i pie. Everyone has a good time at: the Mocksville Picnic and the so­ cial gathering is motivated with a spirit of unselfish service, giving expression in this large contribu­ tion to the cause of the Oxford Or­ phanage. This investment through the years has found its ways into the lives and characters of little people from all over the state that probably would not have had a chance but for the Orphanage. As a proof that this investment hears dividends, our service flag today has 176 stars representing those from the Orphanage family who are serving under the flag. The Mocksville Picnic, the Ox­ ford Orphanage, the CDportunitv to ilve in freedom- these are some of the things of the American way of life that shall be preserved, and. let us hope, may soon become the privilege of the peoples of th e world The Oxford Orphauage bows in humility and in a sense of deep gratitude today to all the peo­ ple of your area who had a part in the success ot this picnic and found in it a channel for the expression of a noble and unselfish spirit.

AJEW YORK--One ancestor of — ^ General Sir Henry Maitland ■Wilson led the Light Brigade at Balaclava. One rode at Waterloo, an- _ _ ,, „ other sailedQaeerBedfellowa, his fle e t. Good Commanders though un- Coms Out of Wars willingly, in to N ewYork in 1776. But here is Sir Henry with the Russians, French and Americans all on his side, and he is cheerfully, on theirs. Wars make strange bedfellows. They have also made a good com­ mander out of General Wilson. He holds honors won in three wars, and when he surmises that Hitler can­ not keep the Balkans without Italy other good Allied commanders do not disagree with so sound a tacti­cian. Sir Henry will feel a four­ square satisfaction when the fuehrer lets go. It was Nazis, pouring down the Valley of the Vardar, who wrecked his bold attempt to hold Greece two years ago, and this Eng­ lish soldier must want to close the door. The general is 62, with a wife waiting, and once the Germans are down he probably will be willing to close the military sec­ tion of his own book. There aren’t many lanrels left for the general to win. He has the Queen’s, the King’s medals, with clasps, from the Boer war; a DSO from 1914-1918, and al­ ready this conflict has seen him made a Commander of the Bath, Knight of the Grand Cross of the British Empire, and a foil gen­ eral. He left Eton for the South African campaign. Now he is back in Africa again, at Cairo, commander in chief of the Middle East. In the British military hierarchy Seneral Wilson stands just a tick below Marshal Sir Archibald Wavell. /"I NCE upon a time Ray Atherton ^ was a young romantic studying architecture in Paris with a particu­ lar eye to the several attractions of _ . . . . th e L e ftOur Munster to Bank.

Before the invasion of Den­ mark he was our minister there and the title still holds,•although he has no duties. Similarly, he is minister to the exiled Luxem­ burg government. Finally, he is just settling down into the busy office of minister to Canada. This is the sizeable post to which he has risen in 27 years as a career diplomat. After Harvard and Paris and a spell at banking, he entered the diplomatic service at 33. It was a late start, but he moved at a fair gait around Tokyo, Peking, Manila, Athens, London, Stockholm and finally Copenhagen. Before going to Ottawa he served as our state de­ partment’s chief of the division of European affairs. In spite of much work and so long a career, his cheek is smooth, his mustache a la Hem­ ingway, only grizzled, and if his a ir of easy assurance isn’t youthful it certainly is no more than middle- aged. T> EPORTING on Rear AdmiralAlan G.

This was about as dis­ creet and academic as Wild Bill Hickok’s rootin’ tootin' shootin’ in the old West. Home to tell about it all, Kirk is unmistakably lean and maybe even a mite academic. But be belongs to the Ends of the Earth club and that suggests a roman- ■ tic strain more in keeping with the hell-bent job he cleaned up on Mussolini’s murky, storm- tossed lake. Thirty-two years in the navy, Kirk has got to some of the earth’s ends, reckoning from Annapolis; to China, and a fair bit of Europe, at least. He has spent 19 years at sea, and he won for the vessels on which he served trophies galore4or battle efficiency, gunnery, engineering and communications. Much of his best work, however, has been done in this country. He is an authority on gunnery and bal­ listics and even back in the last World war was kept on this side doing experimental work. Before he was chosen to top off the amphibi­ ous force operating out of North Africa he was director-of naval in­ telligence. He is 55 years old and, in spite of duty assignments, found time to take correspondence lessons in strategy and tactics and besides this he fin­ ished the Naval War college senior course. N o r m a n d ie F lo a ts A g a in -— S o o n t o B e E r e c t The USS Lafayette, formerly the French luxury liner, Normandie, will once again sail the seas despite the devastating fire of February 9, 1941, which swept through her and the 100,000 tons of water which were poured into her hull sending her crashing to the bottom of the Hudson river. A corps of 70 divers and 700 work­ men have her rapidly on the way up in the final stages of the second tremendous naval salvage operation of recent weeks. The other record setting ship raising and refitting was at Pearl Harbor. Left: The Nor­ mandie just after she rolled over. Despite the intense fire and the hundreds of workmen aboard only one life was lost. Bight: It has been necessary to paint new numbers on Hiis measuring tape to keep pace with the rapid rise of the ship.

Watching the demonstration in Pittsburgh are members of the senate- house subcommittee on war materials. Allied Bombing Victims Receiving Aid Victims of Allied oomnmgs over Le Creusot, France, are shown re­ ceiving food and clothing, according to a French caption in a Nazi-con­ trolled magazine. The bombing referred to apparently was the second attack by the Allies on the huge Schneider works, one of the biggest war plants in Europe where munitions have been turned out for Germany. New Type Litter One or two men can carry a casualty with this new type of litter which is pictured adjusted for a two- man carry. Designed by Lieut. CoL S. n. Bingham, it is said to ease the strain on both bearers and the casualty. Movement over narrow tracks, through jungles, or moun­ tain trails is made much easier with the new litter.

D. Ratcliff (WNU Feature—Through speeiat arrangement with Cottier's WeetrIyi Most of us think of microbes in terms of sudden death. But there are good microbes, too. We couldn’t live without them. If we didn’t have microbes to eat dead vegetation it would pile up and choke off all life. Microbes give us cheese, buttermilk, sauerkraut, pickles, olives. They capture atmospheric nitrogen to en­rich the soil and do us a thousand good turns. Industry is beginning to see tre­ mendous possibilities in microbes— in the yeasts, molds and bacteria. These little creatures are magnifi­ cent chemists. They can do jobs which stump the brightest men. They can turn wood into sugar, and sugar into fat. They can convert stuff like com sugar into resins, gums and vitamins. These facts account for the quick­ ening interest in the new science of industrial microbiology. And it also accounts for the fact that in the past year or so, this country has built up one of the world’s best microbe zoos —so the creatures will be on hand when jobs are found for them. Microbe ’Zoo.’ This zoo is in Peoria, 111.—in the department of agriculture’s northern regional research laboratory. The zoo contains 1,900 molds, 1,000 yeasts, and 500 varieties of bacteria. The creatures in this zoo are kept in test tubes and flasks instead of cages. Some live in refrigera­ tor rooms, others in closets or incu­ bators. The hero of the laboratory at the moment is a mold called Penicillium notatum. This mold makes the drug penicillin, which is the most potent weapon against death ever discovered. The new drug, not yet on the market, was discovered by accident by a British research man named Alexander Fleming. He was growing disease-causing bacteria in his laboratory when he noted that a mold had contaminated the plates. ■ More important, he noted that some­ thing given off by the mold was kill­ing the bacteria. He started search­ ing for the cause of this bacteria death—and found penicillin. British doctors found this drug would do almost everything the sulfa drugs would do and a great deal besides. It was the most potent weapon ever found against infection. Penicillin cleared up horrid bone infections and did other jobs. It lit­ erally snatched people back from sure death. Yet there was a catch to all this magnificent life-saving. The mold that produced the drug was inordi­ nately difficult to grow. And it yield­ ed only minute quantities of the drug. Since large quantities of penicillin were desperately needed to treat war wounded, British research men turned to America. Would the Peoria laboratory see what it could do toward finding molds to produce large quantities of the drug? The job was handed to long-faced, pipe- smoking Dr. Andrew Moyer.Some people have an intuitive sense of knowing what will please children. Moyer has the same flair with molds. He has worked with them 20 years, knows their likes and dislikes. He coddles them with vitamins, beef broth and other things..‘Penicillium’ a Slow Grower. When it was turned over to him, Penicillium notatum was pretty sor­ ry stuff. It was difficult to grow. And it produced only two units of penicillin per cubic centimeter. Since a desperately ill human being might require two million units, this was an almost hopelessly inadequate yield.Maybe, Moyer decided, the Brit­ ish weren't feeding the green mold properly. He looked around for oth­ er foods—and hit on com steep Uqaor. This is the water starch- makers soak corn In. Don't ask why Moyer decided this might work. He can’t tell yon himself. Bnt it did work. Prodoction shot op immedi­ ately. He looked for other foods that might be tempting; and IookcA for more productive strains of the mold. AU this, of course, required months. But the work was crowned with magnificent success. Instead of getting 20 nnits of penicilUn per cubic centimeter, Moyer i3 getting dozens of times this yield! Government chemists recently found a microbe that would produce tremendous quantities of gluconic acid. At the time, this stuff was a chemical curiosity costing $100 a pound. But once it was available, in quantity and at a low price,' re­ search men quickly found uses for it. They found that if it were con­ verted into calcium gluconate, it had uses in tanning, metallurgy, and in making toothpaste. But its most striking use was in veterinary medicine, where it provided a ready source of calcium in a form easily assimilated by farm animals. Gluconate Saves Cows.

When the thermometer rises to the hundred mark, homemakers look for cool ideas, and thirst-chas- ers are first on the list. Cooling drinks literally give you a frost and insulate you from the warm rays of Old Man Sun. In today’s column I’m attempting to give you a parade of cool drinks to fit every pock­ et book, every oc­ casion. They use fruit juices, pre­ pared beverages, prepared drink powders, milk, citrus fruit and of course, plenty of ice. After you’ve prepared them, find the coolest spot on the porch, sink into the most comfortable chair, and start sipping! Chilling fruit, juices, milk or bev­ erages is of first importance in pre­ paring your cool drink, but then you’ve probably already done this. If a survey were made during these summer months, I’m sure it would reveal that a larger percentage of the refrigerator is used for cool drink preparations than any other item. One of the best bases for a good, cool drink is a citrus fruit. Doesn’t it honestly cool you already to think of orange or lemon juice cool and frosty in a glass with tinkling ice? Indeed, it does. There’s a scientific fact behind this, for scientists tell us that in hot weather the tissues of the body require more vitamin C than when temperatures are mod­ erate. That’s one reason why or­ anges and lemons are ideal for sum­ mer drinks. It you want something to serve company on a summer evening, here’s a drink that will fill any or­ der: HoIlyweod Parade. (Serves 15) I pint orange juice I pint orange sherbet I pint vanilla ice cream I pint chilled ginger ale Beat orange juice, sherbet and ice cream with a whirl type beater until well mixed.

Even the current period for rationing provides more cof­ fee per stamp than has been al­ lowed since rationing came into effect. Those of you who are canning can get additional supplies of sug­ ar with your stamps to make put­ ting up fruit at home easier. Fruits and vegetables are scarce this year because of lack of help to pick them, and therefore prices run high. If you possibly can, get in touch with anyone who has crops and offer to help with the picking and packing of them—and also to get your own fruits and vegetables for home canning in much better condition than would be possible if you waited for someone else to do the picking.

ISRAEL CALLED TO BE A HOLT PEOPLE LESSON TEXT—LeviHous 19:1-4.11-18, 32- 34.GOLDEN T E X T -B e ye holy; lor I am holy.—I P eter 1:1«. Labor Day, 1943, with a war-torn world, finds us facing a social order deeply divided regarding the rights and wrongs of the relationship be­ tween man and man, especially cap­ ital and labor. For these many years we have talked of a planned economy where kindness and justice shall control all dealings of man with his fellow man. But to accomplish such a result apart from the hand of God to guide and restrain, has proved to be im­ possible. Selfishness and sin control too much of the thought and action of our world. We need to be remind­ ed, as was Israel in our lesson, that God has called us to be a holy peo­ple. His holiness is not just some­ thing of which one sings in a hymn or talks in a sermon. It means among other things, real social jus­ tice. -God has always stood for social righteousness. The underlying mor­ al law of the universe demands it, and the law of God as revealed to His people developed and imple­ mented it for successful function­ ing, were we only wise enough to see and follow it. It is time that all God’s people emphasize God’s moral principles in the life of society. Never forgetting that its first business is to preach the redeeming gospel of Christ, the church ought also to make its in­fluence felt for social righteousness. Our lesson speaks first of the foundational matter in all social jus­ tice, namely: 1 1. Holiness of Heart Before God (Lev. 19:1-4). Because God is holy, K s people were to be holy. It was not a mat­ ter of choice or impulse. They be­ longed to a holy God, they were to be a holy people. There is an idea current in the church today which has served Sa­ tan well, namely, that holiness of life is something which is not re­ quired; that it is expected only of a few folk who are spiritually mind­ ed, and that the other professed fol­ lowers of Christ may go on living a worldly, careless, powerless life. It is the devil’s own lie. God expects every Christian to be holy. Such rightness with God shows it­ self in a rightness with others, which we note as our second point: H. Holiness of Life Before Men (Lev. 19:11-18, 32-34). How intensely practical and work­ able in daily experience were the laws here given to Israel. They are just as apropos to our present day. . I. Honesty (w. 11-13). No steal­ ing, no perjury, no lying, no oppres­ sion, no withholding of wages, none of these could be tolerated, for they dishonored God’s name. Think what the elimination of dishonesty in dealing between men would accom­ plish. Most of our social problems would be solved overnight. Mer­ chants would do well to read verses 35 and 36 in this connection. 2. Kindness (v. 14). The deaf cannot hear what we say about them, nor can the blind see what we do. But the eternal God hears and sees, and He expects us to be kind to them. 3. Fairness (w . 15, 16). Some assume that a man must be right because he is rich. Others are equally sure that the poor are al­ ways worthy of special considera­ tion. Note the condemnation of the tale­ bearer. Every gossip who reads these words knows that God con­demns that evil practice. Nor does He countenance indifference to the welfare of others. Their blood cries out to Him for . deliverance (v. 16). 4. Love (w. 17, 18). “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” That is the standard. How much have we done to meet it?A rebuke may be necessary,- but love will not permit grudges, or the seeking of vengeance, even when we have been wronged. 5. Respect (w . 3, 32). God’s Word always stresses the need of a right attitude toward parents. Chil­ dren need to learn anew the lesson of verse 3. Then there are the aged (v. 32). Old age pensions doubtless have their place in our complex social or­ der, but perhaps they would not be needed if men and women honored the hoaiy head and the face of an old man. A pension does not take the place of honor and love for the aged, even though it may pay the bills. God has high standards. 6. Consideration (w. 33, 34). The man who knows God will not be party to taking advantage of a stranger. He remembers that he too has been a stranger. To meet with loving kindness and tender care when one is in a strange place should inspire one to go and do like­ wise. ,■ B y X u tt TO aett S p em a JX - N W W W W N V V v V \ W CONSERVATION of clothing I gins with an ounce of prev< be­ gins with an ounce of preven­ tion.

GLASS JARS FOR VICTORY CANNING ru o lu Cwnrtesy EiiII B ros. Co.-Plan to can every extra vegetable from your Victory garden and don’t worry if your dealer hasn’t jars with the kinds of caps you have been accustomed to using. Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director of Ball Brothers Company, tells us that very few of the al!-time favorite zinc cap= are left on the home front because zinc is needed on the battle front, butall Mason jars (any brand) witM*-----------------------------------------------smooth, even top edges can be ' sealed with glass top seal or two- piece metal vacuum seal closures.Glass top seals consist of glass lid, rubber ring, and metal screw band.The rubber is placed around the pro­jection on the bottom of the lid, then lid with rubber is placed so that the rubber rests on top of the jar.The bands are screwed down tight, then loosened slightly before the jars are put into a canner for processing and screwed tight immediately after the jars are removed from the can­ ner. After the jars have stood twelve or fifteen hours, the bands are re­moved and used to seal more jars with glass lids and rubbers, thus making a little metal go a long way.That’s one reason Government offi­cials smile upon home canners who use glass top seals.Another good top seal for Mason jars is the two-piece metal cap, called vacuum seal. The lid is slightly dome shaped, lined with white enamel and has a rubber seal­ing compound around the outer edge to take the place of a regular jar ring—(don't let anybody fool you— all sealing compounds contain rub­ ber). If one is using old-fashioned open kettle (never use this method for canning vegetables), the lids are boiled a few minutes to sterilize, but need only to be dropped into boiling water and kept hot if the jars of food are to be placed in a canner for processing. After the lid is placed on the jar, the metal band is screwed tight once for all. Re­ tightening the band after the jars are taken out of the canner is likely to prevent sealing. The bands are removed from the jars twelve or fif­teen hours after the canning'is done and used to seal more lids on other jar*. Jars sealed with two-piece metal caps are suitable for all types of canning except oven—a tightly sealed jar is likely to break when subjected to the dry heat of an oven.Bands for glass top seal and vac­uum seal caps are not interchange­able because a deeper band is need­ed for the glass Uds, but the two have one thug in common. Neither is rust-proof. That’s because of the zinc shortage, but a quick wiping after each use with a cloth mois­tened with paraffin will prevent se­rious rusting. It will save time and trouble too, if a cloth is prepared ahead of time and kept in one of those glass jars that can’t be used for home-canning. Then when the cloth is needed, set the jar in a pan of warm water until the paraffin softens.The "lightning” jar (so called be­cause it is quickest to seal) requires very little metal and not too much rubber for sealing. Several manu­facturers make this type jar. It seals with a glass lid and rubber held in place with wire bails. The wires used on one nationally known brand are of heat-treated, high-ten­sion, stretch-i>roof, spring steel. This is the ideal jar for-home canning any year because it is so easy to seal. The rubber is placed on the sealing surface or shoulder, the lid comes next, then the upper bail wire is pushed up until it rests in the groove in the top of the lid. Pay no attention to the lower wire, it takes care of itself until after the jars are removed from the canner—then it is pushed down against the side of the jar and that’s all there is to sealing it.When buying jars, choose pints for peas, corn, and shelled beans—and quarts for all other vegetables. HaU- Sint sizes aren’t being made, and alf-gallons are unsuitable for can­ning vegetables because it takes too long for heat to reach the center of the jar.

I kwow/ BONDS USELESS SPENDING Senator Harry F. Byrd, in a re­cent press release, said in part: “The United States Civil Service Commission reports as of August 31, 1942, that there were 2,606,300 em­ ployees of the United States govern­ment . . . On Armistice Day, No­ vember 11, 1918, there was a total of 917,760 civilian federal employ­ ees. We have three times that many now. In the last World War we had one civilian employee for every four and one-half members in the armed service. In this war, we have so far one civilian employee to every one and three-fourths members of the armed forces, the ratio being two and one-half times more per sol­ dier, and we are still increasing our civilian personnel at the rate of over 3,000 daily . . . On November 11/ 1918, there were thirty agencies of the government. Today there are 81 distinct agencies, many of these making no direct contribution to the war effort.” This remarkable statement should receive the careful consideration of every American citizen. When we consider that, since the release by Senator Byrd, the President has sub­ mitted his budget to Congress for the fiscal year, calling for 100 billion dollars for our war effort and nine billion additional for civic expendi­ tures, we gain some idea of what the conduct of this war is going theto mean in the tax burden of next generation. Curtail Civie Spending No one wants to limit a single activity necessary to win the war, but just ordinary common sense and economy indicate that every unnec­ essary civic expenditure should wait until the emergency of war has passed. Right now our new Congress is confronted with the problem of pre­ venting excessive profits on war con­ tracts. Present law provides for "renegotiation” of their separate contracts by the Army and Navy de­ partments and the Maritime com­ mission. There are some three mil­lion of these contracts, but probably not 5 per cent will show excessive profits after taxation. The Internal Revenue department will find every case of excessive profits and, where such profits re­main after taxes, can report such cases for "renegotiation.” This is practical economy and does the job the most efficient way. Industry and agriculture, both of which feel the pinch of shortage of manpower, should support Congress in any method it decides upon as practical and economical. Prevent­ ing new additions to the payrolls and cutting out useless civic expenditures and payrollers who have nothing to do that is constructive in the war effort will help solve the manpower problem and ease the burden of taxes. RY RULES FOR ING VICTORY VEGETABLES Photo Courtesy Ball Bros. Co.Canning without rules is like driving in a strange country without a road map—one is likely to go in the wrong direction. The wrong direction in canning leads to spoiled food—loss of canned food through spoilage is de­plorable and unnecessary in time of peace, and inexcusable in time of war.Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director of Ball Brothers Company, gives the following sure-fire rule for<S* successful home-canning:1. Use jars intended for home- canning. Every one of them has a name lettered on the side.2. Examine every jar to make sure that it is in good condition.Give special attention to the top edges of Mason jars. Most of them must be sealed with glass top seal closures or two-piece metal vacuum seals, because the zinc that used to go into the one-piece Mason caps has gone to the battle front. The glass top and vacuum seals can take the zinc cap’s place on the home front only when used on jars with perfect top edges.3. Do not stretch rubbers to test.4. Wash and rinse jars, lids and rubbers. Then cover jars, zinc caps, and glass lids with liuewarm water, heat to boiling, and keep hot. Jars and lids to be used for old-fashioned open-kettle canning must be boiled 20 to 30 minutes. Wash rubbers and vacuum-seal lids, drop into boil­ing water, and keep not until needed if to be used for processing (cooking food in jars). They must be boiled to sterilize for open-kettle canning.5. Get canners and jars ready be­fore starting to prepare vegetables. 6. Use vegetables that are fresh from the garden. The alien enemies, mould, yeast and bacteria, stand ready to sabotage any and ail vege­tables left standing over night or all through a long,. hot morning.7. Be sure that everything to be canned is at the right stage for canning. Shelled beans and peas should be young and tender—a few over-size., or over-mature ones can cause the loss of the whole batch.The pods of string beans should be crisp and meaty—corn in full milk stage—and tomatoes red-ripe, firm, and sound. Wash all fruits and vege­tables before breaking the skins. . 8. Hot pack all vegetables except tomatoes. Hot pack means to cook the food a few minutes, then pour it into hot jars for processing. This is also the best way to can most fruits.9. Fill no more jars at a time than your canner will hold. 10. Leave ample head space and plenty of room for liquid to circulate between pieces of food when filling jars for processing.11. Tighten metal bands on two- piece metal vacuum seal caps be­fore processing. Do not tighten again.12. Partly seal for processing, all jars on which a jar rubber is used.13. Place jars in the canner imme­diately after packing and process the time called for in the recipe. Remember, time guessing has no place in canning.14. Take jars out of canner as promptly as possible after the proc­essing time is up and complete the seal on all that are partly sealed for processing (see Rule 12).15. Set hot jars as far apart as gossible so they will cool quickly, ut do not place in a draft.16. Be sure every jar of canned food is sealed before it is put away.a. Take the bands off glass top seals after the jars have stood oyer night and test the seal by. pulling gently on lid with finger tips. Don’t put the bands back on the jars.b. Remove bands from vacuum seals 12 or 15 hours after canning and test the seal by pressing on the lid with the finger. Ir tightly sealed, there will be no "give’T to the lid. Don’t put the bands back on the jars.c. One-piece zinc caps are drawn down flat when sealed. Do not turn Mason jars upside down—this rule applies when using glass top seals, vacuum seals, and zinc caps.d. Test "lightning” jars after they are cold by holding them upside down and examining for leaks.17. Be finicky when it comes to cleanliness. Get rid of house flies. Remember, they prefer food to foot tub for foot washing.18. Don’t ask your neighbor how to can. She may not be as up-to- date as she thinks she is. It is far better to get a good recipe book and follow directions to the lette As good a one as can be boug costs only a dime.

School While thinking back across the years Of battles fought and victories won There's no regret nor bitter tears For all the good that we have done; But much of right and good we learned That’s helped us keep the Golden Rule, And truth for which we sought and yearned, We found it In the Sunday school. Our godlv teachers taught us right, And prayed that we might nobly live, And truly walk in Bible light, And of our best to others give; Therefore the deep impressions made Upon our minds in youthful days Have in our hearts and spirits stayed And kept us from the evil ways. The Bible stories of the great, The good, the noble and the brave, Have helped us love the truth, and hate The ways of evil that enslave; And thus we found life's better way Revealed to us in Sunday school. And so we thank our God today We shunned the pathway of the We recommend the Sunday school To ev’ry age and ev’ry class, Who want to find a way and rule By which to climb above the mass Of those who walk the paths of sin And desecrate God’s holv dav, Who have no aim by which to win, But seem content, though down, to stay.

New Deal Food Fambling Repeated Warnings of practical food men that the nation faces the worst food crisis in its history go unheeded by the New Deal. Every effort by those people best qualified to point the way to at least a partial solution to the grave partial solution to the grave pro­ blem has been resisted by the Pre­ sident and his advisors. The recommendations of the Re­ publican congressional food study committee, headed by Representa- ttve Thomas A Jenkins, of Ohio's 10th district, ^for centralized food control, increased manpower on the farms, readjustment or elimination of existing price ceiling responsible for the lack of certain foods and that ration be balanced witb actual supply, fall on deaf eats. Even The President’s own food appohltee, Chester Davis, who in­ cidentally, is the only practical food man called in bv the New Deal ad ministration for high office, was compelled to resign because he could not go along with the ad­ ministration’s impractical policies. Perhaps Ferd Industry Council’s chairman, I A. McConnell, was correct in hisevaluation. Said Mr. McConnell: "James Fvrnes and i.is New Deal associates do not understand food in the first place- and in the second place they are more inter­ ested interested in politics than they are in production." Spoiled Spuds New York reports that additional carloads of potatoes, rotten because of lack of refrigeration, have arriv­ed. ODT blames ICC and ICC pro­ bably blames OPA. Another in­ stance of divided authority. Republican Victory In 1944 Assured Tbe Republican party will win the 1944 presidential election. It will do so by carrying a minimum of 23 States with 314 votes in the electoral college—and the final tal­ ly may run as high as »7 States with 340 electoral votes. This prediction of Republican victory In 1944 is based on a nation wide survey just completed by the Califurnia Republican State Central Committee, which shows the strong tide running in favor of the G.O.P. Almost invariably in presidential elections the political party controll­ ing the State machinery—the Gov­ ernor, other State officers, the Leg­ islature, U. S. Senators and Repre­ sentatives—carries the State for its presidential nominee. . Tbis is due to the fact that the party in power is better organized and has the •will to win.” The minority par­ ty. on the other hand, often is de­ moralized. < Based oh that premise, the ' Re- publican Party will, in 1944, carry California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maiue, Massachusetts, Mi­ chigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey. North Da. kota, New York. Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Ver­ mont and Wisconsin. These States have 314 electoral votes. In • addition, Idaho, Missouri, Montano and Wyoming, with 26 electoral votes, may be listed as doubtful and readily could swing into the G.O.P. column. Only the Solid South, plus the State of Washington, are assured to the Democratic party, the Cali­ fornia survey indicates. This would give the New Deal 21 States with 191 electoral votes. Piney Woods Pete Says: Dear Mr. Editor: Some months ago I had hopes that Henry Wallace was beginning to git a little practical sense, bu* here of late he’s been going around trying to rabble-rouse to the public, specially labor, into hating busi­ ness. He said "The corporations are a- gainst planning unless they do it They are clamoring for free enter­ prise.” Well, why shouldn’t cor­ porations or any other gronp or in* dividuals want free enterprise and to do their own planning? Tbis is suppose to be a free country. Wallace is also already politick­ ing for the 1944 campaign, and said this recently: "We’re going to have a glorious fight. I welcome this fight and the sooner it comes and the hotter it gets, the better.” He also as good as said that any­ body that wasn’t a New Dealer was an American Fascist. We’re fighting on foreign fronts all over the world, and this is the worst kind of a time for anybody to be trying to stir up strife on the home front. Since Wallace is plain Iy spoiling for 3 fight, why don’t he resign, join the Army and go to the front lines? ' Piney Woods Pete, in Atlanta Journal. V. a. Tiiiimr A w a rta o t FDR Wants Life Term Kansas City—President Roose. velt not only has a "life term am. oition” but bis administration is promoting Fascism for America af. ter the war. AIf M. Landon form er Governor of Kansas, charged here recently. The 1936 Republican presiden­ tial candidate asserted in a radio speech that even now "schisms and hatred stalk the land,” hunger thrsatens, “disorder is increasing,” and inflation is imminent. He pre­ dicted a "notably bitter election” in 1944. “We are now witnessing,” he said, “the preview of life as it will be permanently under the New Deal gone.to seed—an arbitrary bu­ reaucracy resulting in Nazism or Fascism—the death knell of indi­ vidual freedom.” Hopkins Will Moye Washington. — Harry Hopkins, the President’s right hand man, will move out of the White House this fall. He and his family will occupy a private house Hopkins purchased in the Georgetown sec tion of Washington. The special assistant to the Pres, ident said that congressional critics had been "bowling too much” a bout his living in the Wqite House since 1939 and for that reason he is moving. Diew Pearson, newspaper colum nist, asserted in a recent article that friction between Hopkins and Mrs. Roosevelt was the cause of the White House losing its star boarder. Fork News Notes.

Hay Crop Destroyed In Bennington, Micb., Robert Hndson nas plowed up bis entire hay crop of 30 acres due to the confused farm machinery rationing program. In Shiawassee County, where Hudson lives, only 16 hay loaders were alloted this year. Un­ able to obtain one, his only alter­ native was to destroy his entire hay crop, he said. Fisherman Nets Nothbg Fred L. Ford, of Stamford, Conn., conceived the idea of a “Fishing For Victory” campaign. He had no sooner started to put the idea into practice when the Government paught up with him. ' I was fishing from a row-boat, using an outboard motor,” Ur. Ford complained, "The capacity of the motor’s tank is three pints. The Coast Guard vessel must have used three gallons of gas when it come over to tell me I couldn’t use the three pints!” Ford still thinks “Fishing For Vic­ tory” is a splendid idea.

Let Us Pray (By Rev. Loy 0. Thompson) “Piayer was made without ceas­ ing’ of the church unto God for him ” This is the kind of prayer that counts This is the kind of prayer that counts This sort of prayer meets all the conditions of successfnl petition. It is charac­ terized by three things; First, it is prayer without ceasing Weymouth translates this passage as follows: "Long and fervent prayer” was made. This is not the wav we often pray today. Our prayers are short, cboppv, curt, and they are not alwavs fervent. Intensity is not a part of our pray­ ers. They do not mean much 10 Neither do they mean much to God. Our petitions must rise above mere formal utterances There should be in them a spirit of solicitude, earnestness, deep desire. Long aud fervent prayer was made ot the cburch unto God, and the prison doors were opened and Simon Peter walked forth into freedom. Another thing that characterizes the prayer the counts is that it is united prayer. Prayer was made without ceasing of tbe church. It is not enough that the' minister shall pray in his pulpit Tbe church must join in tbe prayer. In that Apostolic day prayer became a go­ ing concern because it was entered into by tbe church. Does tbe church have anything on its heart suffic­ iently meaningful and urgent as to compel earnest, agonizing prayer? It is said of the Lord, “He prayed more earnestly.” Let the church ptay more earnestly and things will happen out in the world of sin. Let us pray without ceasing, that is, long and fervently. Again, there is a third element in the prayer that counts. It is prayer unto God. Prayer was'made without ceasing unto God of the church for him. Prayer unto God is the prayer that counts. You will find that some of us are praying to ourselves. Some are praying to Mary or tbe Saints Some of js praying to those who are listening to us. There are times when we pray unto God but not always. We must be conscious of his pre­ sence. We must reaiize that we are beggars and He is tbe benefac- to., that we are children and He is the Father, that we are victims and He is the rescuer, that we are sin­ ners and He is the Saviour. Our prayer must be fervent, united and unto God and then it will count for something.

Everybody Profits Bnt-- Most of us subscribe to the theory that when soldiers are. giving their lives in battle, the rest of the nation should bear the economic burden of war—without profiteering. Some of us were even dreaming, back yonder, of capital as well as man­ power being drafted together in fu­ ture ware, if any. But it didn’t turn out that wav. It is neither just nor defensible that a few should be making a good financial thing out of this war—but they are. In spite of taxes and hell and high water, they are., According to Commerce Depart ment statisticians, even with a rath­ er considerable tax-take corporation profits for 1943 will reach eight bil­ lion dollars. And that total, mind you. goes into the tail after all pres­ ent war taxes have been deducted. And eight billion dollars ain’t chick­ en feed. Isit any wonder then, that the workers who help to create those huge profits, feel the urge to call for a shake-down? And when they get it, is it any wonder that the farmer who feeds all of them sticks in his quill for a share? That’s tbe way it works and has been working, for, ac­ cording to the same statisticians, total Tactory payrolls are about three timei as large aB in 1939. Trae that increase does not reflect tbe increase in pay per individual. There are a- bout eight million more at work than in 1939. but there has been an upin in the factory worker’s pay, just tbe same. Aa for the farmer: He is selling more food than ever before and is getting more for it than at anv time since World War I. Wbolsesalefood prices have doubled since 1939. And that’s not saying that he doesn't de­ serve his pay. If labor gets increas- sea because living costs are higher mainly on account of farm prices, then life is made the harder for the farmer, and his coats are such that he too must have more income. These increases do not come out of the pockets of industry, but from the consumer, who in tbe main is not the beneficiary of war profits. The great mass of fixed-salary. white collar worker, clerks, teachers, professional people, and even small businesses whose incomes have not organized and bold in their demands; their pay has not been increased be­ cause the incomes of those for whom they worked have not been sufficient­ ly increased to warrant higher wage scales^ But when government goes to tax. it treats all alike. Sometimes govern­ ment seems to lean over backward in its reach for the latter group.—Stat­ esville Daily. Notice To Creditors!

By sitting on the floor on my heels, I was even able to start reading the novel that has been taking up space in my foot locker for weeks. But night must fall. In a case like this, where you’re packed in grease like a boxed rifle, it’s best to place one layer of newspaper be­ tween sheet and blanket. After ly­ ing there for a while, listening to the newspapers crackle exactly like burnt flesh every time you twist in agony, you feel the urge to sit up and isok at some real stars. - R S - They’te drafting honest, respecta­ ble, hard- working soldiers back into civilian life now, as you probably read in the papers. Has-beens at twenty-eight, these good boys are turned into the pasture under a se­ lective retirement system. It’s in­ teresting to watch the way they take it.Our big loss in Battery A came Tuesday when Joe Gantt went back to Liberty, South Carolina, after five months in the citizen army. Joe is the nice corporal who looked like the soldier pictures in the magazines, used an instinctive psychology in handling his men, and knew every man in the battery as a friend. He was on furlough last week when he was ordered to return at once to the battery. He came back, started through the discharge rou­ tine and went about hugging every­ body with what looked like unbound­ed joy. Then he started getting quieter and less demonstrative. He had been relieved from active duty for the remainder of his stay here—a matter of four or five days—and when the men fell out for calisthen­ ics or drill, Corporal Gantt didn’t have to go out with them. Every time the whistle blew, you could see a lonesome look creeping into his eyes. The last time I saw him was Mon­ day at noon, when we fell out for chow. Military procedure was over —thrown in a spontaneous revolu­ tion and Joe was drafted to march us to the mess hall. It was his last detail. Halfway to the mess hall, he gave us “To the rear—march! To the right flank—march! To the right flank—march!” and all of the marching commands he had taught us.He’s returning to Liberty now, where he’ll fall back easily into the life he left five months ago. But you could have seen from a casual glance that he was going to miss the Army.- E s- I'm a student cook in the Army. Cooks are supposed to have the eas­ iest work and the most comfortable positions the Army affords. Com­ pared to the boys in the gun bat­ teries, the signal corps, the anti­ tank units, we’re almost white-col­ lar men.We student cooks — the future “happiness” boys of the Army— have to get up for reveille at the usual hour, beating the sun to the rise every morning. We get an hour of calisthenics, directed by a noncom who’s in good physical shape and expects us to be the same way. Then we drill for an hour., and hell hath no fury like that unleashed on-the recreant who doesn’t come up-to standard in drill. We attend class for two hours and there’s no foolishness there.After lunch, we report to our kitchens, where we work until seven o’clock, taking our trade practical­ ly, taking part in the preparation of food for over two hundred hungry and fastidious soldiers, The next morning finds us in our kitchen at three or four o’clock and we stay there until one. We’re supposed to have, the afternoon off — unless there’s something that has to be done in the line of battery duty. When we leave those kitchens for the afternoon, we go back to our barracks for rest and sleep, which we need badly after the twenty-four- hour shift at huge coal-burning stoves. Reading is a popular diver­ sion during the time, unless you pick up a magazine which tells you what slackers you are because you aren’t like the author was in the Real war. There’s a different type of article that is equally nauseating. It tells of the poor little soldier boys, who give up everything to go into train­ ing thousands of miles from moth­ er’s lap and who will have to spend their time leaning against urban lampposts—because nothing is be­ ing done for their morale. You’re talking about entertain­ment, Gertrude—not morale. In the matter of entertainment, there’s plenty of that to be found, even if it isn’t like being back home toast­ ing marshmallows with Her. There’s so much being done here for enter­ tainment that you can’t get halfway to the Service Club without being drafted for a battery show or a vol­leyball game. Morale is the spirit that gets you when you’re out on the regimental parade ground with the whole bat­ talion for retreat parade. Every mother’s son there wants to look as much the soldier as the Old Man does. Not another sound can be heard before or after the one-gun salute to the colors or when the band crosses the field to a stirring march in the Display of the Colors. And when your battery passes in review before the colonel, you’re firmly convinced that there isn’t an­other battery on the field that makes as good a showing as your battery. It’s the enormous feeling you know when you sit in pitch dark be­fore a pup tent in the field and “Every mother’s son wants to look as much the soldier as the old man does.” watch the Fort’s searchlight cut the sky. It’s the feeling you know when you can look across a great space and see long lines of Army trucks moving along every road you can see. That’s morale. Just a matter of pride. - i a - The good earth on which Fort Bragg is situated is laden with tra­ dition, ghosts of the glorious past, the old culture — and little else. Beautiful as it may be for purposes of military training, it has little in­ terest in helping the little green things to grow. Grass and flowers, planted with loving care in the Sand­ hills dust, fade but too soon if left to shift for themselves. To nourish such vegetation, the cavalry units furnish the more aesthetic batteries with certain surplus commodities. ■ Private McGlauflin, Roff, and I had spent the better part of the morning with Corporal Cleveland James Farmer, heaving and hauling coal in preparation for the long hard winter, when the top sergeant decided that the borders around the barracks should be given their au­ tumn tonic. We piled back info our truck and sped away to the haunts of the hoss cavalry. We knew, after a few miles of riding, that we were nearing the cavalry territory. There was a cer­ tain unmistakable quality about the atmosphere. Something New Had Been Added. The hoss cavalry, it must be said, takes great pains with the care and distribution of its vitamin deposits. As far as the eye can see the eye can see orderly, cubical mounds cov­ ered with straw and earth. None but the most deserving, criminal of­ fenders—men who have earned their letter (“P” for “prisoner”) are per­ mitted to serve in the maintenance division' of this essentia] agricultur­ al enterprise. We three—McGlauflin, Roff, and I —stood high on the crest of a hill, loading the truck with its precious cargo, commenting on the invigorat­ing quality of the . air, and pausing ever and anon to lean on our pitch­ forks and listen to the conversation of other workers about us. Some there were who could not see the importance of the service they were rendering; others spoke disparagingly of the place ahd bit- W.H.U.I l t V l C l terly cursed man’s best friend, the horse. Two soldiers who shared a single pitchfork at the next truck spent all their time discussing the comparative beauties of the music of Liszt and Tchaikovsky, proving that art endureth forever even in an alien atmosphere. As for myself, I gloried In the honor of the tradition I was helping to carry out. My mind drew pic­ tures of the philosopher Ward Beecher Threatt, who boasts that he carried a pitchfork through the heat of the fiercest battles throughout the last war. We made three trips to the cav­ alry barnyard before we had finished enriching the earth about the order­ ly room, the mess hall, and the four barracks of Battery A. We bathed vigorously and dressed for early dinner.. The mess sergeant met us at the door. He^sniffed the air delicately and quietly closed the door in our faces. Then he nqade the rounds, closing the windows nearest us. “Git!” he said. We went back to the barracks, where we found our comrades re­ turned from the classroom. We sat down on our foot lockers and strove to remain as inconspicuous as possi­ ble. Private Sher was the first to speak. “Do you smell something?” Pri­ vate Sher asked with unaccustomed rudeness. Everyone, it seemed, smelled something. It was not, they decided, Chanel Number Five. It was not My Sin or Evening in Paris. One of the citizen-soldiers, who had once worked in the stockyards, knew what it was. When the hunt came nearer, Pri­ vates McGlauflin, Roff, and I arose and quietly left the squadroom and quietly sat by the newly invigorated grass borders outside._ ia_ Maybe I spoke too soon when I denied the sissiness charges by mag­azine writers. It must be admitted, after yesterday’s horrible disclosure, that some termite is boring from within us. Some.force is sapping the rugged manliness of Battery A. Here’s what happened at supper yesterday evening. First of all, when we neared the end of the chow line, we found one of the cooks there, scooping ice cream out of a can.- We are meat-and-potato men in Battery A and generally we do not take to such frilly fanciness as ice cream, although we occasionally humor the mess sergeant by letting him buy it in read^-cut blocks. This time, we found, he had gone too far. Our leniency and intoler­ ance in IeQing him buy ice cream had gone to his head. Now he was making it at home—in the respecta­ ble kitchen of Battery A! Home­ made pineapple ice cream! I didn’t say anything about it. I thought that perhaps he was merely going through his second childhood, and second childhood is something that every mess sergeant must be permitted to go through once. Real­ izing this, we boys hadn’t said any­ thing when our mess sergeant had air-conditioning fans put in the kitchen windows to make namby- pambies of the cooks and kaypees. We hadn’t said anything when he started keeping jam on the table at all meals. We’re going to have to say some­ thing now. The man is going ab­ solutely mad. Not content with springing homemade ice cream on us, he had to heap more coals on the fire of our impatience at the same meal. There on each table in our mess hall, brazenly placed in the very ceo> / ■Cw There on each table in the mess hall was a shiny container filled with paper napkins. ter, was a shiny container filled with paper napkins! Until something is done about the thing, this mess sergeant will go hog-wild. At his present rate, we’ll find toothpicks on the table next week, salad forks the week after that, finger bowls before November. This will go on indefinitely until his brain is completely destroyed by this madness. Then he’ll start plan­ ning to surprise us with waitresses dressed in field-artillery red. '■ When this happens, I shall try to volunteer for- the parachute troops. No matter how homey they make the Service Clubs, no matter how carefully they plan the movie pro­ grams, no matter , how hard they work on athletic schedules, they’ll never be able to compete with a.sol­ dier’s favorite evening recreation- sitting on the back steps, shooting the breeze.

GOLDEN TEXT—Come thou w ith us. and we Wiu do thee good.—N um bers 10:29. There is a time to wait before God, to be instructed and prepared for holy living. There is also a time for action. When God says, “Move forward,” His people are to arise and be on their way. Israel, who had now been more than a year on the way from Egypt to Canaan, had been resting for a time at Mt. Sinai, there receiving instruction and being organized into a nation. Ihey had set up a place of worship in their midst, and now they were ready to go on. That is God’s will for His people. They are to I. Move Toward the Goal (w. 11, 12).God had a schedule. He wanted them to move forward ori a certain day (v. 11). Since the Jewish re­ ligious year, referred to here, begaD with the spring equinox, this was about the middle of May. The dry season was ahead—a good time to traveL Those who think the purposes of God for men are nebulous and un­ certain, and that He has no real plan for us, are obviously mistaken. His plan is good and acceptable and perfect; let us find and follow it. We do not have a pillar of cloud and fire to move before us. We do not need it, for we, unlike the Is­raelites,Jiave God’s Word for our guide, and His Holy Spirit as the One who will tell every responsive soifl when and where to go. The' important thing is to obey, promptly and willingly, and we shall have the blessing of God. H. Bring Others With Yon (w. 29-32). Those who go up to the promised land should not go alone, they should bring others with them. Moses, who had been in touch with the family of his father-in-law (known both as Jethro and Raguel or Reuel), now. sees the value of having with him his brolher-in-law, who was so acquainted with the great and terrtble wilderness through which they were to pass that he could be invaluable as a guide and helper. In giving him the invitation, how­ever, Moses stressed the opposite thought—that it would be good for Hobab if he came with them. That was doubtless true, but it was not the right approach. / Men do not respond to the oppor­ tunity for advantage in spiritual things as readily as to the challenge to usefulness. The motive of acquisi­ tion is strong, but the best’ folk are not as interested in what they can get as what they can give. The church may stress too much its value as a place of refuge and not enough the unparalleled oppor­ tunity it affords for sacrificial serv­ ice. When Moses changed his plea and revealed his need of Hobab, the re­ sponse was immediate. He had thus won a friend and a helper. HI. Follow God’s Guidance (w. 33-36). God gave special guidance on this occasion. The ark which common­ ly was found in the midst of the people, now moved out before them. It was the symbol of God’s pres­ ence. As they went out into the wilderness (which Deut. 1:19 calls “great and terrible”) it was as though God Himself went before them. Is not this always true? The “Captain of Our Salvation,” Jesus Christ, is not One who tarries in safety at the rear and sends up or­ ders for us to attack life’s prob­ lems. He goes before us! The pillar of cloud hovered over the people as though to give them shelter from the beating sun of the desert,; God is mindful of the road His people must travel, and in His loving-kindhess provides for their protection and care. In our day there are many who are tempted to question ^,Whether God knows of their trials’-and af­flictions. He does, and He will not permit them to be tried beyond their ability to bear it. When the ark went forward, their leader, Moses, addressed God in the stirring words of verse 35. The peo­ ple Whose God is the' Lord may count on Him to scatter their ene­ mies. . AU of human life is either a jour­ ney or a battle, and often it is both. We must arise and make valiant war against the forces of evil if we are to move forward for God. But we must recaU that our foes, as Christians, are also God’s foes. The battle is not ours, but God’s, and we do weU to caU on Him to rise up and smiteT the enemy. . Note that after the forward march came a time of rest. - God always gives His people an opportunity for needed rest. P A T T E R N S StW lU G CIRCLE 8 4 8 312-42 Smart Two-Piecer.

Who's Newsi ThisWeek By Delos Wheeler. Lovelace I Conaolldateit Features.—'WNU Release. W EW YORK.—Presh from an in- spection of the WACs, Dr. Min­ nie MaSett harps once more upon the tune she was singing even WanUSameBreak K a 't T o n a l For Girte ae Men Federation Gef After the War of Business and Profes­ sional Women elected her their president and spokesman. When this war is over, she says, women must be treated as individuals, not as a separate sex. Employers must give them in particular the same break they have promised men. Must re­ turn them to their pre-war jobs. ' , This country, particularly Texas, either has voluntarily treated Dr. Maffett as an indi­ vidual, or has had to ever since she set out to make her own way. That was, roughly, 40 * years ago. She is 61 now, bom of a family which settled in Texas more than a hundred years back. She started out as a school teacher, but decided on medicine and hung out her shin­ gle in Dallas when sbe was 33. About that time Southern Methodist university needed a physician for women and Dr. Maffett took the job. She still has it but she carries on a gen­ eral practice, too, is on the staff of a couple of Dallas hospitals, and has her dynamic oar in a dozen other activities. Dr. Maffett is pink-cheeked, blue­ eyed, silvery-haired, a pleasant sight for any patient, especially one of those males she says some­times discriminate against her sex. A persuasive orator, she is careful to emphasize that women do not seek to supplant men. But a wom­ an’s brains, she argues, are good and men should be less reluctant to use them. Dr. Maffett sometimes shakes a finger at women, too. A while back she dressed them down for failing to vote at every oppor­ tunity. • — ■VTINE years ago a parcel of NewYork newspaper men trekked west to see the sights of Chicago’s Century of Progress and one after- H.

The boys were pleasant - faced, their clothes quiet; both were stocky; hardly overweight, certainly not fat, but stocky. An oldster, thin, con­ templative, seventyish, walked with them. Henry Ford and his grand­ sons were visiting their dynamic ex­ hibit at the fair. The newspaper men were politely casual, but at least one blinked at the sight of a billion dollars on, so to speak, the hoof. Outwardly casual, probably, but blinking must be the shoals of Ford workers as the elder of the two boys now takes off a navy uniform to take on major authority in the family com­ pany.

Rogers (Representative, Mam) (WNV Femltire-TbTOUth special Oirtagemeal witb Wommmim Some Companion.) When the war is over the armed services should continue to have wombn serving in their ranks. I was convinced that the army and navy would need women to replace men In certain duties after the last world war. But it was 25 years be­fore I was able to get through con­ gress a measure which created the Women’s Army Auxiliary corps. Since then the navy, coast guard and marine corps have created units for women. I believe the whole country has approved. Now is the time to make provision to keep women in these services on a permanent full-time basis. Im­ mediately! Because war is like a flood or a hurricane. As soon as it is over people lose interest in pre­ paring against a recurrence. Be­cause in the inevitable cutting down of the armed services to peacetime size one of the first units to face the ax, if only because it is the new­ est, could be the women’s corps. Because some, weary of the strain of war, will want the illusion that all can be as it was before the war began. They will try to force all women out of the factories, the pro­ fessions, the armed services, try to relegate them back to housework. We must plan to fit a certain num­ ber of women into our postwar eco­ nomic life. Hie woman in uniform has served as well in this war and the services have had opportunity to learn how valuable she can be. Lieut. Gen. Brehen B. Somervell, anxious to determine what his officers thought of the work done by WACs, sent out inquiries to the men of his com­ mand. The replies were highly laudatory. Volunteers for Africa.Certainly there can be no question of the women’s spirit. Recently, for example, Director Oveta Culp Hob­ by went before two companies of WACs in Daytona, Fla. !Diere was need of a contingent of WACs in North Africa. After pointing out the dangers of the journey and the perils of the war theater, Mrs. Hob­ by called for volunteers. She hoped to get enough to make a respectable showing. She got 300—every woman in the two companies. This display of spirit, I think, explains why of­ ficers of the regular services—who were skeptical about women in the ranks, are now enthusiastic. Will the armed forces need women after the war? Of course! The army and navy will need them as a nucleus for the force they will require if we again become involved in war. During the truce between the world wars I urged congress to appropri­ ate money so the army could place educational orders with manufactur­ ers. The purpose was to create in industry a skeleton force trained for war work. I think of the women’s corps of the army and navy in the same way. The English maintained a small force of women in their armed serv­ ices during the years after the last war. When a large force was need­ ed, they had the foundation upon which to build. In this country, it was a year before we could get the women’s service into action. Dur­ ing that time thousands of soldiers were mobilized in noncombatant jobs which could have been handled as well by women. We cannot again afford such a loss of time. The armed services have learned that there are many jobs which men are glad to get away from and which women perform with enthu­ siasm. For example, men don’t like to be telephone operators. Women in itnifnrm have gladly undertaken this job, and should continue in it as well as in similar jobs as interpret­ ers, clerks and weather bnrean workers. In years to come there will be new emphasis on certain activities in the armed services which have only recently become important. We shall always want to have a regular airplane warning network as part of our defense system. This will re­ quire a trained personnel which should be under army supervision. There will be little point in training a large staff of able-bodied men for this kind of work. Let the women handle it. Nnrses Set Precedent. There is precedent. The army long ago established it by including women in permanent status by the creation of the nurse corps. Re­ cently the army also made provision for women dietitians and physio­ therapists. It is impossible to estimate today how many women the services will need in peacetime. Certainly the army and navy should admit as many as they can use. It will not be hard to find them—women feel there can be mo greater privi­ lege than to serve under our flag. Personal Linens Very Distinctive!

When Paramount hired Victor Young to write original'music for “For Whom the Bell Tolls” they had no intentions of causing him to be mistaken for a messenger boy, but that’s what happened.

(See Recipes Below) H arvest Foods Late summer is the truck garden­ er’s paradise, and this summer we might well say the Victory gar­ dener’s paradise, fo r th e re a re many gay and at­ tractive foods rip­ ening now which may make a tru­ ly appetizing ap-0 pearance on your table. For ex­ ample, the season’s choicest toma­ toes in their fullest, ripest red make meny at the table now. There’s also golden-eared, tender sweet com, at its best when picked not more than half an hour before eating. And one of the most dra­ matic vegetables to do justice to fall dinners is the eggplant—smooth, deep purple and shiny in appear­ance. Most of you are undoubtedly fa­ miliar with eggplant served sliced and fried—and there’s no doubt it’s good that way. But for a change, try it baked with a savory stuffing and make it a main dish feature of your dinner. The total cooking time for preparing it in this new way is only 35 minutes—10 minutes for boiling the eggplant in rapidly boil­ ing water, and then 25 minutes bak­ing in a moderate oven. •Staffed Eggplant.(Serves 6 to 8} I eggplant I cup bread croutons 4 strips bacon, cut in squares I tablespoon onion, minced I teaspoon salt Ya teaspoon pepper I egg Cook whole eggplant in boiling Water for 10 minutes. Cut length­ wise slice from top of eggplant. Remove.pulp with a spoon, leaving a s u b s ta n tia l shell. Chop pulp. Add croutons. Fry bacon. Brown on­ ion in bacon fat. Add to eggplant pulp. Add the egg and season with salt and pepper. Fill eggplant shell with the mixture and top with the following: Corn Flake Cramb Topping. 2 caps coin flakes I egg yolk Y t teaspoon dry mustard I teaspoon lemon juice Y* teaspoon salt Paprika ,, Bntter Roll corn flakes to fine crumbs, combine with egg yolk, mustard, lemon juice and salt. Cover stuffed eggplant with crumb mixture, dot with butter and sprinkle with pap­ rika. Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees) for 25 minutes. Serve on Lynn Says: Color-In Tonr Meals: Do you realize that your eyes eat that food before you actually eat it yourself? If food looks dull and unattractive, your appetite lags and the food, if eaten is con­ sumed without much relish. The eye wants contrast. Pick foods that go well together. You can serve several green vegeta­ bles for one meal, but not sev­ eral all-white vegetables or all- red. Combine meat and vegetables on one platter to get a design and save plates besides! Use gar­ nishes with care and give them an opportunity to bring out the most in your foods. Sprinkle beets with a little lem­ on juice to make them a more intense red. Cook green vegeta­ bles only until done to assure them of being crisp, green. A dash of lemon juice on apples, pears or other fresh fruit will prevent it from darkening.

FENCE POST Question: In building a fence, the posts were driven into the ground and a concrete walk and pavement were then laid around them. The posts have rotted and must now be renewed. How can the new posts be made tight in the holes in the concrete, so that they cannot be moved up and down? How can the underground part of the posts be treated to prevent decay? Answer: The inside of the holes through the concrete should be gouged and dug with a cold chisel or a pointed hammer, so that the new concrete Will have rough sur­faces with which to bond. Give the underground parts of each post a heavy treatment of tar or creosote, return to position, and then pour fresh concrete into the holes.’ ... Single Flue Chimney Question: I would like to replace, a side-arm gas water heater with a coal-fired heater. Could I connect this to the single Sue in my chim­ ney that serves the furnace? If so, should the connection be close to the furnace connection at the chim­ ney? Answer: As' a general thing, two fires should not be connected to a single flue, because each fire will interfere with the draft of the other. However, with a tall chimney, and one connection much smaller than the other, as it would be in your case, there is a good chance of suc­ cess. Connect the new smoke-pipe dose to the old one at the chimney. • * * Loose Cement Coating . Question: Last year I knocked off the loose cement coating of my basement foundation wall and put on a new quarter-inch cement coating. I find that in several places the new coating will not stay on, but bulges and falls off. How can I treat these so the new coating will adhere? Answer: Cement is not adhesive and holds on a surface by harden­ ing around the surface roughnesses, dean off the bad places and then roughen them by gouging with a cold chisel or a pointed hammer. At the time the new cement goes on the old walls should be thorough? Iy soaked with water.. • * Dusty PathQuestion: A path that was for­ merly hard surfaced is now dry and dusty. I am now wondering if it would be advisable to put oil on it If so, what kind and how much?' Answer: I should not advise using oil, for it would inevitably get into the house and make trouble with floors and floor coverings. You can get a good dust-laying effect with calcium chloride, which, is low priced and on common sale. Scat­ ter it on the path in the proportion of a pound to the square yard. Even on a dry day it will absorb enough moisture from the air to become liquified, and will then combine with the dust on the path to form a crust. • * . Paint Remover Question: I have bought a can of paint and varnish remover for use on furniture, but find that it works slowly. It also is expensive. I am thinking , of using the remover that you have recommended; ' three pounds of trisodium phosphate dis­ solved in a gallon ot water. I should first like to Imow if this is likely to bleach the wood.Answer: No; it has no bleaching effect. Put it on boiling hot with a dishmop or brush; the paint or varnish will quickly soften, and can be wiped and scraped off. Fin­ ish by rinsing with clear water to take off all traces ot the remover..• • • Attic Insolation Question: Some time ago I insu­ lated my attic with rock wool in batt form. I placed the insulation against the roof boards, with the paper on the outside, that is, facing me. Is this the proper way to place the batts? I have heard that if not placed correctly there is a possibility of condensation. Is the paper on the batts sufficient'to pre­ vent condensation. Answer: You have installed the batts correctly and no more cover* ing is needed. *,.• • White Lead Question: What kind of white lead is used to give wood a pickled pine finish?Answer: Ordinary white lead paste, thinned with turpentine to the consistency of a thick paint is used.

"Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal. The Lord kneweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ, deoart from iniquity II Timothy 2:19. Regardless of all the atheists, in­ fidels. modernists, and unbelievers in the world who oppose the Word of God, or doubt it. or cast it aside, or misinterpret it: and regardless o* all that has ever been done to un­ dermine the foundation of God which He has laid tor His people to build their bor>f»s and lives noon, it stin 1s sure. N1 pi vers of wick­ edness can destroy God’s founda. tion, God’s plan of redemption for His people. Hallelujah! When the devil has exhausted himself and all his diabolical powers against God and the foundation of salva tion, God will still reign and rule supremely over all. and His foun­ dation shall stand unmoved. Amen. Well, this is enough to give us undaunted faith in God. courage to live true to God, and zeal to press the battle for God and His cause a. gainst the devil and all the demon forces of hell. “If God be for us, who can be against us?” That is to say, who can be against us with sufficient strength and power to de­ feat us? And God will be for us as long as we are for Him, love and serve Him, worship and obey Him. Since we are convinced by our text, and other Scriptures, that the foundation of Gcd stands sure, let’s notice something else: “The Lord knoweth them that are his,” We are not serving a dumb god, a senseless god, like those who bow down to their idols; but we are ser­ ving and worshipping a God who knows us, knows our weaknessess our tests and trialf, our temptation, by the devil, our surroundings, our desires and inclinations. He is the omniscient God—the God who knows all things. Praise His name forever. God knows His children. That means He loves nst blesses us. cares for and protects us. He directs our footsteps, our lives, day by day. He hears and answers our prayers. He beholds our tears. He listens to our sighs and sobs as we pnnr out our hearts unto Him. He keeps the feet of His sainis planted upon His firm foundation so that the enemy can’t shake us loose as long as we live in obedience to His will and Word. I had far rather God would know me as His C1Iild, His follower, His servant, His saint, His worshipper, than for the world to know me as the son of a mighty earthly king, ruler or potentate, or to know me as the son of a rich mao, or as the son of a man of great renown. To be the son of a great man and live for the devil and go to bell. How­ ever, to be a son of God, or a child of God, and be always faithful and true to Him, means that a glorions home in heaven awaits as, also a blessed reward. This means more than anything else. It is honorable and glorious to be a child of God, but there is no bonoa and glory to be a child of the devil, live in sin and wicked, ness, curse the world, then die and go to bell. Why can't men see this? We heve everything to gain by living for God, but everything to lose by living for the devil. Yet the great masses of men live for the devil. They build tbeir lives upon the devil’s poor, damnable foundation. And just as God knows those who are His, so the devil knows his children, his followers, his servants Indeed be does. And just as God will gloriously reward His people in due time, so the dev­ il will cursedly reward his in due time. Men are to be rewarded by Eleanor’s Namesake Effie Baoe Campbell. Hartsville. S. C.

Back the attack by buying Bonds READ THE AD$ Along With the News God or the devil, dccording as they live and die. Now we come to tbe last division of tue text, and this is a solemn warning: “Let every one that nameth tl:e name of Christ, depart from iniquity ” This doesn’t fav­ or sinning religion, does it? No man can take Cbrist’s holy name in vain and be a Christian. As we speak the name of Christ, pray to Him continually, and worship Him sincerely, we are to depart fiom in iquity. Not only are we to abstain from all sin, but we are to “ab­ stain from all appearance of evil.” This is the high peak of Christian­ ity that Cod aims for us to attain. It is for us, and all who reach it are the highly blessed people of God.

Thoughts foi Soldiers As Congress comes back to work, high on its list of jobs to be done ia provision for taking care of the re­ turning soldierB and sailors—men and women. It already got this job under way Iaat spring when it extended to the veterans of World War II most of the benefits previously granted to veterans of the first World War. This was one of the facts the Presi- dent overlooked in his address ad­ dressed to the soldier vote. The President also overlooked the fact that other bills are now await­ ing aetion. bills introduced by Re­ publican members of Congress to provide for those who need Bpecial care and those who will need help while they are getting back into ci­ vilian li/e. Still farther, tbe President over­ looked his own record of the past to­ ward tbe veterans. OneofhiBfirat important legisla* tive enactments in 1933 was to force repeal of virtually all laws “grant­ ing medical or hospital treatment, domiciliary care, compensation and other allowances, pensions, disability allowance or retirement pay for ve­ terans and dependents;” Before the American Legion con­ vention at Cnicago, on October 2. 1933, Mr. Roosevelt explained how he personally teit regarding the pay­ ment of benefits to fathers and grandfathers of the boys who are now serving in the armed forces. Said he. on that occasion: “The second principle is that no person be­ cause ■ he wore the uniform, must thereafter be placed in a special class of bereficiaries over and above all other citizens. The fact of wearing a uniform does not mean that he can demand and receive from his Gov­ ernment a benefit which no other eitizen receives. It does not mean that because a person served in the defense of bis country, performed a basic obligati n of citizenship, he should receive a penson from bis Government because of a disability incnrred after his service bad ter­ minated, and not connected with that service." About that time also tbe Presid- ent said it is attitude and not words that eounn _____________ How Government Shouldn’t Work Secretary of Agriculture Wickard recently appointed a Food Advisory Subcommittee for tbe purpose of Betting up standards for allocating American food supplies- Tbe Se* cretary should be presumed to have chosen the best experts available, elBe he failed of his critical war duty. However, the committee appar­ ently double-crossed Mr. Wickard It made findings different from those the New Deal wants to believe Its report was critical of the whole handling of the food problem and stated that the nation’s food supplies are inadequate to meet tbe present essential war needs. So Mr. Wickard first tried to bury the report and. failing in this de­ livered a public rebuke to the mem- bers who are crude enough to report the facts.Mr. Chester Davis could have told the committee that it does not pay to tell tbe New Dealers the truth a* bout tbe food supplies.

See Here, Private Hargrove! IyMarion Hargrove TBB STORY SO FA R: Private Marlon Hargrove, form er editorial employee of a Kortb Carolina newspaper, has been inducted into the arm y and is receiving bis basic training at Fort Bragg. Be has been classified as a cook. This classi* fication together with a m ore than usual am ount of KP duty have caused him to becom e pretty well acquainted with the Company kitchen. Private Bargrove has become rather well versed in the m any angles of “ goIdbriclUng" and other arm y pastim es. Be claim s, however, th at 4lShooting the breeze" or the *‘bull flession” is the soldier’s favorite recrea* lion. A t this stage of training some of the boys are experts in the art. As we pick np the story be is discussing this. CHAPTER ES By this time, the evening bull ses­ sions have worn themselves into a very definite routine. If Corporal XIssery is there, he lectures on how he’d run the Army; if it’s Private Terrence Clarkin, he tells how he used to direct the intricate traffic affairs of Radio City Music Hall when he was assistant chief doorman there. Unless Private Henri Geld- ers is stopped, he’ll start a violent argument among the butchers over how to cut a steak. McGlauflin will talk for hours about the beauties of the lakes in Minnesota. Grafenstein will deliver discourses on how he would run the Wisconsin football team; Pappas, about Alabama’s Crimson Tide. Ma- ciejewski will sermonize on the ut­ ter baseness and treachery of wom­anhood. Lately, however, the sessions have come more and more under the sway of Private Merton Hulce, a mad Irish lad from Muskegon, Mich­ igan. Private Hulce apparently didn't stop at kissing the Blarney Stone. He must have stolen half of it to carry with him. Hulce’s chief topic of conversa­ tion is his mother’s fabulous family, the Smiths, all of whom seem to get enmeshed in every war that comes along. His grandfather, who was a captain in the Coast Guard at the outbreak of the last war, was transferred to duty at guarding mu­nitions dumps and such for the dura­ tion of the war. According to Hulce, one of the munitions guards with his grandfa­ ther’s detail was approached late one night by an officer of the guard. “Halt!” shouted the sentry, and the officer halted. “Advance to be rec­ ognized!” said the sentry, and the officer advanced. The sentry for- In the midst of this fiery hell he saw a peach tree with peaches grow­ ing on it. got to order “halt” again and the officer came within a foot of him. Suddenly the officer reached out and snatched the. rifle from the guard's hand. This was an exceedingly uncom­ fortable position for the guard, espe­cially in that time of war. He might even have been sentenced to death. The officer stood there just looking at the guard for fully a minute. “What would you have done,” he' asked in a terrible voice, “if an enemy had got your gun like that?” The guard trembled for a moment and recovered. “I would have snatched it back, sir,” he said, “like THAT!” And the officer stood there, empty-handed. Hulce’s grandfather, who told that story, is now about sixty-five, his grandson says. He was asked to come back into the Navy three months ago as a captain. Being a Smith, he’s back. With him in the armed forces today are two of his sons and two of his grandsons. Merton had two uncles in the last war, both of whom fared exceeding­ ly well when you take a practical view of it. Neither tired himself out. The first crossed the ocean nine times playing the clarinet in a troop ship’s band. The Germans torpedoed the boat once and the holes in the side were stuffed with mattresses. Hulce’s uncle rode back into port, still playing his clarinet. That was the goldbricking uncle. The other uncle served as a kay- pee on the trip across. Carrying a tray around the deck, he was heck­ led several times by a person he soon grew to loathe. Eventually the Irish wrath of the Smiths rose to boiling point. Uncle Smith lifted the tray high overhead and wrapped it around the heckler’s neck. He spent the rest of the war in con­ finement. Then there was the cousin, grand­ ma’s sister’s boy. Serving in the front-line trenches, he grew suddenly hungry one morning. Looking out of the trench, he saw & peach tree growing there in the midst of the fiery hell, and there were still peaches on it. He tried to sneak into the tree, but the enemy’s bul­ lets found him. He was carried be­hind the lines. Just as the stretcher bearers laid him down, an enemy shell exploded in the center of their little group and none of them were ever seen again. This happened at exactly ten o’clock on the morning of Novem­ ber 11, 1918—one hour before the Armistice was signed.-p a - Next to the Bugler, I suppose the battery clerk has the goldbrickin’est job in the battery. You could cut his pay to ten dollars a month and he’d still be defrauding the govern­ ment. Just watch the battery clerk for a while and you start wondering why he’s in the Army, when he’s so evidently cut out to fit the lean­ ing end of a WPA shovel. While the rest of the battery is earning its daily bread with sweat, the bat­ tery clerk sits in the orderly room hob-nobbing with the powers that be, typtog the daily worklist with original spellings for all the names and wondering how long it is until lunchtime. Our battery clerk is a beardless youth named Howard Miller. I tripped over him yesterday evening on my way back from a hard day’s work and stopped to chew the con­ versational fat. “Junior,” I asked him, “how does your conscience feel about this six- day goldbricking schedule every week? Don’t you feel a twinge on payday?” Corporal Miller made a move to draw himself up indignantly, but de­cided it wasn’t worth the effort. “If you’re insinuating that I don’t have to work you’re off your bean, sonny. I do two or three times as much work as you happiness boys.” I yawned and sat down. “After listening to Ussery shooting off his mouth fifteen hours a day, I can take yours. Go on with your fan­tastic story.” “Boy,” said Miller, “the responsi­ bility is enough to kill an ordinary man. I’m a one-man information bureau for the whole battery. I have to know who everybody is, where everybody is, where every­body’s going and how long he’s go­ ing to be there. “I have to know the answer to every dumb question you guys come popping up with. Where’s my mail? When do I get my furlough? Where are we going to be sent when we get shipped out of here? Why didn’t I get a weekend pass? Why was I on KP again today? Every sort of question you could imagine!” “Quit popping your guns, laddie,” I told him. “That’s no grind for you. You use the same answer on all the questions: ‘How the hell would I know?’ ” He was quiet for a while and I thought he had gone to sleep again. I was all primed to hum “Chow Call” to wake him up, when he stirred and sighed heavily. “All right,” I prompted him, “so you’re the one-man information bu­ reau. So what do you do in the line of actual work?” “Work!” he shouted. “That’s what I do—work! Why, I have to write all the letters and keep all the files and keep duty rosters up to date! I have to make thousands of rosters of the battery every month—”“That,” I suggested, "should take .at least two or three hours every day. What do you do to while away the other tedious hours of the day?” He was quiet again for about a minute. Then he arose. “I’ve got a pretty hard day ahead of me to­ morrow, Hargrove,” he said. “I hope you won’t mind if you excuse myself. You have to get plenty of sleep when you have a job like mine.” “When you have a job like yours,” I growled, “you can sleep night and day.” - ! » - The top sergeant stuck his head out of the supply room and beck­oned with his arm. "Come ’ere, you!” I dropped my stable broom in the battery street and hastened toward him, as one always does when sum­ moned by the top kick. “Well, Private Hargrove,” he said, “this is a red-letter day for you.” “You mean you’re going to let me go out and drill like die other fellows?” “Noooo, Private Hargrove,” he said. “I mean I’m going to let you turn in all your equipment. You are no longer to be a rookie, Pri­ vate Hargrove. You are going to be an important working cog in the great wheel of national defense. You are leaving us. “What’s the deal?” I asked. “Where do I go and what do I do?” The sergeant chuckled and leaned back in his chair. He sighed ec­ statically twice. “Would you really like to know, son, or would you rather put it off as long as you can?” “Well,” I said thankfully, “you can’t be sending me out as a cook, because I don’t know anything about cooking.” The sergeant sat back and drummed happily on the table.“Great gods!” I shouted. “I’m not going to be a cannoneer, am I?" n».h .u .• e I t v I c e . "No, Private Hargrove,” he said after another long pause, "you’re not going to be a cannoneer. We’re going to give you a job where you can use your natural talents.” There was a distinctly sadistic tone in his voice. I waited. “You’re going to be a first cook, Hargrove,” he said fondly. “Not just a plain cook. A head cook! A king in your own kitchen, a man of responsibility. Ain’t that lovely?” “You can’t do this to me!” I roared, when my breath returned. “It’s against every decent human law! I don’t know anything about cooking! I want to be a cannon­ eer!” Sergeant Goldsmith’s eyes wan­ dered guiltlessly to the ceiling. “You don’t know anything about cooking, huh? That’s bad, boy, that’s bad! Why, you’re supposed to be on shift right now.” “Sergeant,” I said, “I couldn’t fry an egg right now if it had di­ rections on the package.” “You’re in the cooks’ battery, ain’t- you? You’ve been going to cooking school and you’ve been sent to a kitchen for all these weeks. You’re supposed to be graduated any day now. What have you been '‘Son,” he said, “you’re going to make a perfectly breathtaking Hor­ rible Example.” I had nothing more to say. doing in the kitchen I put you in?” “Making jerk-ade,” I explained, “chopping celery, peeling onions. They say I get in their way. They say I keep spirits too high and pro­ duction too low.” “I feel for you,” the sergeant said. “I deeply sympathize. You’re going to be a mighty unpopular lit­ tle boy in your new home. If that supper tonight don’t melt in them boys’ mouths and send them clam­ oring for more, they’ll either mas­ sacre you or run you over the hill. That’s one thing the boys won’t al­low—bum cooking!” “Sergeant Goldsmith, sir,” I im­ plored him. “Can’t somebody else go in my stead? Somebody who can cook? Look at me—a digger of ditches, a mopper of floors, a scrub­ ber of kitchens, a ministering angel to undernourished grass plots, but a cook never! You don’t know what you’re doing to me!” “Son,” he said, “you’re going to make a perfectly breath-taking Hor­ rible Example!” Then he rose and walked back into the supply room. “Thomas,” he said, “check in this yardbird’s equipment.” Sergeant Israel looked up from his Form Thirty-Two records. “Don’t he like his equipment?” “Check in everything but his clothing,” the top kick said. “Get a truck to take him to Headquar­ters Battery, FARC.” Sergeant Thomas W. Israel looked up in faint amazement. I looked in sheer bewilderment. “They had to figure some way to stop his cooking career and save the morale of some battery as would get him as a cook,” said Ser­geant Goldsmith. “So he’s being palmed off to Center Headquarter* as a public relations man.” The word "buddy” hasn’t come into popularity yet in the new army. I suppose that if there were such things, Maury Sher would be mine. Sher and I occupied adjoining bunks when I was in Battery A. Private Sher is a smart and lik­ able Jewish boy from Columbus, Ohio. He went to school at South­ ern California, until he learned that all the world’s knowledge doesn’t come from the intellectual invalids who usually teach the 8:30 class. Then he went back to Columbus, had an idea patented, and built him­ self a restaurant shaped like a champagne glass. Came the fateful Sixteenth of Oc­ tober' and Sher enrolled for the Se­ lective Service System. His appli­ cation was accepted last July and, since he had been the successful proprietor of a restaurant, he was classified as a promising student for the Army cooking course. The two of us got together when he was sent to the Replacement Cen­ ter here. We started an acquaint­ ance when I topped all his Jewish jokes and began teaching him how to speak Yiddish. I was attracted by his native intelligence, his pleas­ ant personality, his sense of humor, the similarity of his likes and dis­ likes to nine, his subscription to PM, his well-stocked supply of cig­ arettes (my brand), and the cookies he constantly received from home. So we became mole or less con­ stant companions. We made the rounds here together, went to Char­ lotte together, made yoo-goo eyes at the same waitress in Fayetteville, and swapped valuable trade secret* in goldbricking.

TRISODIUM PHOSPHATE Question: Please repeat the name of the chemical used with water for cleaning painted and enameled sur­ faces.Answer: Trisodium phosphate has many uses in a household. It has the effect of destroying grease, and thus makes a good cleaner. A hand­ ful in a dishpan makes dishwashing easier, and one or two tablespoons in a pail of water is excellent for cleaning painted surfaces. In strong­ er solutions it eats into the paint, even to the extent of being a first- rate paint remover. For this, it is used in the, proportion of three pounds to the gallon of water. When applied boiling hot, with a dish mop or brush, paint and varnish soften quickly and can be taken off by rubbing with a cloth or by using a scraper. On some kinds of wood the grain may be raised slightly, so sandpapering will be needed before refinishing. It is harmless to the skin.Trisoditun phosphate is not stocked by drugstores. It can be had from chemical houses, and many paint stores sell it under its chemical name, as well as under the name of beet salt. It also is sold under many trade names.» • • Rnst in Oven Question: Our gas range is begin­ ning to rust on the inside. How should we go about cleaning it?Answer: The following is a method for cleaning a cookstove that would seem to be well worth trying: “For the oven, wring out thor­ oughly a cloth that was wet with water. Then saturate the cloth with common household ammonia. Place it in the oven with the door closed and leave it overnight. Do the same with the broiler. For the burners, extinguish the pilot flame and cover thefburaers or area with cloths sat­ urated with ammonia; if the range has? a table top dose it. Do not wrihg out the ammonia. You will be amaied to find that the next morn­ ing !there is no odor whatsoever, and thaf "-------1 —J off, P' ON THE HOME FRONT RUTH WYETH SPEARS TuR n RIGHT SIDE OUT STITCH THEM SB RINGS APART LEAVE BOT- TOM OPEW CUT UNIHG !"SMALLER HAH CHINTZ HEM BOTH* 'PLACE RISKT IDES TOGETHER AND STITCH ISIDES ANDTOP AS SHOWN QUAINT chintz curtains are al­ ways appropriate for case­ ment windows and their colors give the best effect by day if they are lined to keep the light from shining through. At night they may be drawn together to serve instead of shades if the lining is of fairly heavy material. The secret of making curtains of this type hang well is in not joining the two layers of material at the bottom. If your windows are narrow, a half width of chintz and of lining may be wide enough for each of the curtains. The lining should be cut one inch narrower and shorter than the chintz. Hem each piece, then place right sides together and stitch side seams, as shown at the right of this sketch. Crease sides with seams on the lining, then stitch across top.

The school bells are ringing again—call­ ing North Carolina’s youngest generation beck to the job of learning to be good and useful citizens. We’ve all come to Hiink of a good education for our chil­ dren as the natural birthright of young Americans—but building up and admin­ istering a school system as fine as North Carolina’s is a gigantic task. Nearly 900,000 students are enrolled each year in North Carolina’s schools and colleges. There are 4,111 primary schools, 990 secondary schools and 52 colleges and universities. The range of studies runs from kindergarten games Hirough the three “Rs” to the most advanced scientific and sociological re­ search. Thousands of teachers are devoting their lives to this work—and to them goes much of the credit for its success, as well as to the administrators of each institution, to local and county school boards and to the Office of Super­ intendent of Public Instruction. We of the Greyhound Lines take the same pride as all other North Carolinians in our State’s educational achievements. We know that our own organization is aiding the school system both with tax support and transportation service. Those of us whose children are benefit­ ing directly from the splendid schooling ,afforded them feel doubly proud. In wartime even more than in peace­ time, the things that draw us all together, that unify- our efforts, that make us good neighbors in every sense, are the things that count most heavily. Both good education and good transportation have decisive parts to play in shaping toe present as well as the future of North Carolina in the post-war world. Mr. and Mrs. J M.

Who’s News This Week By Delos Wheeler Lovelace Consolidated Features.—WNU Release.

Before that she fought for almost as long as union organ­ izer. But she remains quiet and unassuming, though big enough either this way or that, to be strident' and forward. Women of this country might not have Miss Anderson on their side if she had started from Sweden when quotas narrowed the immigrant gate between the two worlds. But the gate was wide open then, even to a 16- year-old girl from unheard of Lidhoping. Iobs were plentiful, too. When the girl fretted in housework she could hop to a shoe factory, after she had learned English. From shoes the girl of Lidkoping hopped into a union and then into various projects favoring women. She has been director of the Wom­ en’s bureau since 1919. In her spare time she plays rummy, listens to the symphony, takes pictures. She used to have more spare time. Now she has to keep close tab on the vast wartime labor displacement and plan against the confusion she fore­sees when ex-soldiers begin looking for time-cards and paychecks. <*---- WHEN the men of Holland free their homeland they will not wait long before they call upon the Nazis to account for Jonkheer Wil­lem Roell. Hitler Will Haoe to Youwill Give an Account of have to be This Dutch Officer — Bpelling of the last name, because no American linotype provides the umlaut which should stand over the “E.”Roell is 70 years old now if he is alive. Before the Germans invaded Holland he was one of its great men of war, command­ er at last of the Fortress Hol­ land. He was a lieutenant gen­ eral and governor, too, of the Royal Residence at The Hague, and Queen WiIheImina held him highly. Two years before the invasion he retired and was pensioned. He was 64 then. At 64 a man has a lot of hard work in his system, but the lieutenant general bad done a lot, had climbed from a second lieuten­ ant of artillery to the top. After the Nazis came, he was too prominent to be let alone, and they interned him. A little while ago word came out of Holland that he had been sentenced to death after a secret trial. Now, after more than a month, no one is sure whether the sentence has been carried out. But the men of Holland say the time will come when the Nazis will have to tell.

It was simple old fashioned business, but Maj. Gen. Guy Simonds may have recalled it as he raced his vanguard through the Sicilian surf to open Canada’s share of the big drive now ended. Certainly Simonds knew all about Davout. He knows all about all the great captains from longrago Gideon onward. At 40, youngest Canadian divi­sional commander in this war, he has studied them so profita­ bly that he has topped most post-graduate quizzes since he left the Royal Military college. Simonds is Canada’s soldier sky­ rocket. He was only a major three years back. English-born, he-was moving along with a quiet thorough­ ness when the first Canadian con­ tingent went across. He went, too, took over a tough Commando as­signment; for that he was made a commander of the British empire, and the major generalcy followed quickly. When he crossed over with the first Canadian contingent he parked his wife and daughter in Winnipeg.“He has few friends,” a Canadian correspondent reports, “but he is ahead, not merely abreast of the lat­ est in tactics, strategy and equip­ment. He rarely laughs. A story that convulses the officers’ mess barely lifts his eyebrow. But he in­spires confidence.” The general is a close friend of General Montgomery of Africa’s fa­ mous Eighth army, and when he hit the Sicilian beach he wore a berel a la Sir Bernard. Yanks Hunt Little Men Who Weren’t There For the first time in this war, Japanese forces fled from a base with­ out offering any resistance, and American-Canadian troops took over the Aleutian island of Kiska pictured above. Xhis victory frees the North American continent from an immediate Japanese threat. The enemy at one time was reported to have 10,000 troops on Kiska. As in the Sicilian campaign, the area was shelled and strafed heavily by ships and planes. On 15 occasions naval surface nnits stood off shore and poured 2,300 shells into Japanese positions. Within 14 days various types of Allied planes raided Kiska 106 times, subjecting Japanese forces to the heaviest bombings carried out against them so far.

Five Months of Tank Warfare By Sgt. Charles Embse (WNU Feature—Through special arrangement with The American Magazine.) As a tank commander in the First Armored division, I saw five months of fighting in North. Africa. It was the first large-scale tank fighting our army has had in this war. Our company fought a lot of dif­ ferent kinds of actions. We fought against the French for a few days Eind then we fought beside them. We fought the Italians. And we got tangled up with three of Hitler’s star panzer divisions. We fought in the cold, the snow, the rain, and the mud; in the heat, the sand, and the dust; in the moun­ tains , the piny woods, the olive groves, the dry lake-beds, the big seaports, the little Arab villages, and in some old Roman ruins. We made some mistakes. We took some beatings. But our training was good and we learned fast. We improved on Old Professor Rom­ mel’s tricks as we went along. Al­ together, I guess we handed out bet­ ter than we took. Coming into Oran, a sniper shot from a window at a tank about four ahead of mine. He wounded a Frenchman who was just handing a tangerine up to the man in the tur­ ret. Instantly the gunner in the next tank raised his 37-mm. and blew the sniper right out of the win­ dow. Almost at the same moment a tank-destroyer fired with its heavy gun and practically blasted the corner off the building. Shrieking Stukas. In warfare, your first dive bomb­ ing is an unforgettable experience. When those Stukas come down on you, their sirens shrieking'like some wild animal, the bombs deafening you and shaking the earth, the ma­ chine-gun bullets sewing patterns all around you—boy, it really scares the daylights out of you, the first couple of times. Then you learn that they don’t hurt the tank unless they score a direct bomb hit, which is very seldom. We got so we didn’t mind a dive- bombing attack nearly as much as well-directed artillery fire. When those artillery shells start searching for you, up and down, back and forth, on and on, you really want to get out of that place. You do get out, unless it is critical. Before Tunis gave up, our ar­ mored division was busy for several weeks backing up and reinforcing a line about 150 miles long. Men, equipment, and help were on the way across the oceans and skies, Wut they hadn’t arrived yet. We had to do with what we had. We would plug a hole in the line here, make a swift raid there, pull a bluff all the way along the line. If the Germans had known, they might have broken through in January. I guess we moved around so much, jabbed at so many places, that we seemed to have twice as many tanks as we really had. Once, I remem­ ber, we rolled almost without stop­ ping for 48 hoars. We ate as we traveled, took turns driving, took turns sleeping. We never fired a shot in anger, except at dive-bomb­ ers, during the trip. I hope that march confused the Germans as much as it did us—we never did« learn the pnrpose of it. One evening a tank man named Bauerle, who understood German, got his radio on the German fre­ quency and heard the Germans talk­ ing. They were in high spirits. One of them was saying: "We’re going to get plenty of souvenirs for you this time.” That meant us. Pasting a Mark IV. The two-way radio is a wonderful thing for handling tanks in battle, but it has its dangers. The enemy, miles away, is listening. If you leave your mike open you may drop an unguarded remark. Or the or­ ders may be coming from a Ger­ man. One day when we were moving forward I heard our captain say: “Watch it, Shaffer. Watch out for German tanks up that road.” A minute later I heard a voice with just the faintest German accent: “Okay, Shaffer. It’s all right now. AU clear. You can come on down the road.” Shaffer wasn’t sucked in, but it gives you a funny feeling. Just to indicate what quick think­ing you have to do in tank warfare, consider our situation one day when a big German Mark IV— twice as big as our tank—came edging around a corner of a ridge in front of us. The minute he came around I hit him with my 37 mm. gun. It didn’t'stop him and he fired at me with his .77. I backed up about 50 yards. The German shell hit just where we had been. I pulled the same maneuver twice again and then I had him where I wanted him; within reach of one of our M-IO tank destroyers. T ET’S welcome baby with the daintiest of layettes.

BURGESS MEREDITH ■* certainly didn’t expect, when he went overseas, that he’d find himself in a Mid­ lands market town in Eng­ land that has no cinema, no railroad station, and only two stre e ts, during part of his spare time. But there he was; if you heard “Transatlantic Call,” the British Broadcasting - corpora tion-CBS program, you heard him, introducing local inhabitants who told the story of how the war has thanged their town. Its contribution BURGESS MEREDITH to the war is so vast that its name can’t be mentioned. Incidentally, we hear that Meredith, Clark Gable and James Stewart may get leaves in order to make army pictures. Jean Pierre Aumont’s been hav­ing name trouble. After his first American picture, “Assignment in Brittany,” was released, he got so many fan letters asking how to pro­ nounce his first name that it was decided to drop it. Then along came more letters saying that the writers liked the triple name—so it’s as Jean Pierre Aumont that he’ll be listed in “The Cross of Lorraine.” Robert Walker, the sensational sailor in “Bataan” who was so good in that picture that he was cast for the second male lead in “Madame Curie” even before “Bataan” was fin­ ished, nearly missed his big chance. In his first test for the “Bataan” role, he played the sailor as a man of 24. Director Tay Garnett had a heart; instead of tossing out the test he explained to Bob that the sailor was a lad in his ’teens. Another test was shot, he got the part, and before “Madame Curie” was fin­ ished he had the lead in “See Here, Private Hargrove.” Robert Benchley’s given up air travel for the duration. “I’m tired of sleeping in airports,” says he. Recently he had to rush from New York to Hollywood for RKO’s “The Sky’s the Limit.” In Kansas City they gave his seat to a ferry pilot. Five hours later he got an­ other plane; in Dallas he was put off; reason, another ferry pilot. He spent six hours there; sat out an­ other five in Tucson. Walt Disney and Major Alexan­ der Seversky are making a spe­cial broadcast for British Broadcast­ ing company’s Home Service in England on September 20. Rehears­ ing for it at the New York studios, Disney explained that Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and the other pet Disney characters can’t just be funny any more; they must work to help win the war. -SK- Metro feels Uiat linking up Mar­ lene Dietrich for the feminine co- starring lead opposite Ronald Col- man in “Kismet” is one of the most important casting assignments of the year.

Pickling Time Summer has slipped by and with (t has passed the time of putting up fruits and vegeta­ bles. But canning is not yet over, for fall brings with it many L fruits and vegeta­ bles which home­ makers like to use for pickling and preserving. Pickles fnay be of either the fruit or vegetable variety for there are a great many varieties of pickles. Fruit pickles can be made in a short time, but those made from vegetables require a longer time— sometimes as long as several weeks. The best cucumber pickles take several weeks in order to complete the pickling process and make them crisp in texture, dark green in color. Sugar is introduced gradually to the cucumber after it has had a prelimi­ nary treatment in brine or vinegar. Crisp Pickles. How does one get crisp pickles is the question most frequently asked in pickling. Select fresh, ripe rath­ er than over-ripe vegetables and fruits for pickling. Over-mature and stale vegetables will shrivel during the pickling process. Old spices and low grade vine­ gar are other causes of pickle fail­ ure. It’s important to use vinegar which has a strength of 40-60. Cider vinegar is usually preferred because of its mellow flavor. As a rule on­ ions and cauliflower, which are light, require a white vinegar to make a light-colored pickle. Both types of vinegars serve to modify the taste of the product and also to preserve it. Salt for Pickling. Good quality salt is indicated for good pickles. Table salt or dairy salt (used for butter making) are good, but salt to. which a lot of chemical has been added to prevent it from caking is not recommend­ed. Chemicals may interfere with the pickling proc­ ess. Equipment. Pickles may be cured in large stone crocks, if desired. They are usually stored in glass jars with caps, of the same type that are used for canning fruits and vegeta­ bles. nSpiced Cantaloupe. Peel rind and cut cantaloupe into 1-inch pieces. Soak overnight in vinegar. To each 7 pounds of fruit add 3 pounds of sugar, 8 sticks of cinnamon, and I tablespoon -whole cloves. Cook about Vk hours or until fruit becomes transparent. Place in sterile jars and seal. nApple Chutney. 2 quarts apples, cut in small pieces 2 pounds granulated sugar 2 cups seeded raisins Rind of 2 oranges, finely choppedYi ciq> strong vinegar Yi teaspoon ground cloves I cnp pecan meats, chopped fine Boil all ingredients together until apples and nuts are tender. Pour into sterile jars and seal at once. nGreen Tomato Pickle. 4 quarts green tomatoes 2 sweet red peppers 2 small onions 2 teaspoons ground cloves 2 teaspoons ground ginger Lynn Says: You Can Do It, Too! Readers write that they have hints to pass od to other readers, and I’m sure you’ll like them for your own foods. Careful seasonings make for good cooking—and that means first of all salt and pepper. Mixed poultry seasonings add accent to stuffings and stews. Bay leaf, thyme and sage are also good in Stuffings and meats. Spare the hand when using cur­ ry powder, but do use it in any meat or fish dish if you like the curry taste. It’s especially good when you’re' using any of these foods with rice. A pinch of nutmeg is indicated for spinach, for that occasional scalloped fish or oyster dish. Clove and cinnamon blend well with smoked meats—use in cook­ ing smoked ham or shoulder cuts.

At summer’s end, you can look with pride on your canning shelf if you have been busy putting up fruits and vegetables, jams and jel­lies, pickles and relishes. nBread and Butter Pickles. 25 to 30 medium-sized cucumbers 8 large white onions 2 large sweet peppers Yt cup salt 5 cups cider vinegar 5 cups sugar 2 tablespoons mustard seed I teaspoon tumeric Yi teaspoon cloves Wash cucumbers and slice as thin as possible. Chop onions and pep­ pers and combine with cucumbers and salt. Let this stand 3 hours. Drain. Combine vinegar, sugar and spices in a large preserving kettle and bring to a boil. Add drained cucumbers. Heat thoroughly but do not boil. Pack while hot into jars and seal, Ripe Cucumber Sweet Pickles. 8 large ripe cucumbers Ys pound stick cinnamon I ounce whole cloves IYi pints vinegar 3 pounds sugar Pare the cucumbers, take out seeds and cut in quarters. Cut quar­ ters into medium-sized pieces. Scald in salted water (2 tablespoons salt to I quart water), then drain and sim­ mer in clear water until tender. Tie spices in a bag and boil them with vinegar and sugar 5 minutes. Pour this mixture over cucumbers, cover jar and set away until the next day. Then, pour of! syrup, bojl syrup for 10 minutes and pour over cucum­ bers again. Flavor is improved by repeating this process several times. With last heating, place pickles in cleaned, sterile jars and seal at once. DiHed Cucumbers or Green Tomatoes. 40 to 50 cucumbers, or green tomatoes 2 ounces mixed pickle spices Fresh or dried dill I pint vinegar 1 pound salt 4 tablespoons sugar 2 gallons water Use fresh-picked cucumbers or green tomatoes of uniform size and free from blemish. Wash them well and drain. Into a 5-gallon crock place a layer of dill and spice. Fill the jar with the cucumbers or to­ matoes to within 4 or 5 inches of the top. Mix the vinegar, salt, sug­ar, and water, and pour over the vegetable. Place a layer of dill over the top. Cover with a heavy plate and weight it down to hold the vegetable under the brine. Use only enough brine bareljr to cover, for as the liquid is drawn from the vegeta­ ble the jar may overflow. Each day remove the scum that forms over the top and keep the pickles at even room temperature, about 70 degrees or as warm as 86 degrees Fahren­ heit if possible. In about 2 weeks the pickles are ready to use—crisp, well-flavored with dill, and clear throughout with no white spots when cut.For storage, pack the cured pickles in sterilized quart glass jars, and add % cup of vinegar to each. Fill up the jars with the pickle brine, but first strain it, bring it to a boil, and cool. Seal the jars and' store in a cool, dry place. Are you having a time stretching meats?

THE SIN OF MOSES AND AARON LESSON TEXT—Numbers 20:1-13, 27, 23. GOLDEN IEXT-Be ye angry, and sin not.—Ephesians 4:26. Sin is a serious matter, and even though men in our day may not call it by its real name, it is as much here as it was in the days of Moses —and it is just as awfully sinful as ever. Sin is universal; it appears not only among the people, but also among their leaders. God’s dealing with it is on the basis of “greater privilege, greater responsibility.” No leader, especially in God’s cause, can expect special consideration of his weakness. He must meet God and answer for his sin. I. The Unbelief of the People (w. 1-5).It is well to bear in mind that the people of Israel who were now at Kadesh-Barnea 1 on the border­ land of Canaan, had been here once before—40 years before. Here they had rebelled against God in unbelief because of the report of the spies concerning the land. Because of their unwillingness to take God at His word, they had been sent to wander 40 years in the wilderness until the complainers had died. Read that graphic and instructive story in Numbers 13 and 14. Now they were back at Kadesh— and a new generation shows that the spirit of unbelief and distrust has a hold on humanity, and makes son like father. They had run short of water. The spring which had served their fa­ thers on the previous visit to Kadesh had run dry. One would have supposed that all the mighty dealings of God in their deliverances over and over again, would have indicated the need of faith; but they had only a wailing criticism of God and His leaders. n . The Answer—God’s Power (w. 6-8). . Moses and Aaron, now old men but still God’s chosen leaders, took their sorrow to Him (v. 6). It was the right place to go, for power be- longeth unto the Lord (Ps. 62:11). Instead of punishing the people for their unbelief, God calls upon His servant Moses to show them that He (God) is able. At a word from Moses, the rock would bring forth water before their eyes. Is not that the perfect answer to all man’s questioning and lack of faith—the revelation of the Omnipo- tence of God?But God’s purpose is defeated (at least in a measure) by the m . Unbelief of the Leaders (w. 8-11).Instead of taking their place as the servants and subordinates ol God, Moses and Aaron claimed that they would provide water (v. 10). Instead of showing God’s power by speaking to the rock, and His mercy in providing for the people, they ut­tered a rebuke; and then, by smit­ ing the rock, took to themselves the honor that really belonged to God. When called upon to act for God, Uiey acted for themselves, and in their own name. They used for their own glory the power delegated to them by God. Let us beware that we do not fall into the same error. Let us also note that if the pun­ ishment seems severe, we should recall that they had broken a type of Christ. Christ was the Rock. He was to be smitten at Calvary, that the water of life might flow forth. But He died once for sin (I Cor. 10:4) and is not to be smitten again. We need now only speak to Him in faith and receive life. In Exodus 17:5, 6, Moses smote the rock, presenting the first half of the type foreshadowing the work of Christ; now he was to speak to it, fulfilling the type, and in unbelief he destroyed God’s picture or type of redemption. It was a grievous sin. IV. The Answer—Judgment (w. 12, 13, 27, 28). Moses and Aaron were not to be permitted to enter the promised land, because of their failure. No doubt it was true that their depar­ ture to be with the Lord was in a sense “far better” for them; and yet it cannot be denied that there was disappointment in not seeing the conclusion of their long and ar­ duous labors. The lesson is dear. We may serve God long and faithfully, but that is not any excuse for “letting down” in our dosing years. We dare not presume, as though our intimate touch with God and place of leader­ ship gave us an “inside track,” a right to take it easy, spiritually or morally. Sin is always sin; and it is espe­cially grievous in one who has the privilege of high position and of power with God. God buried His workmen; but His. work went on. For Aaron there was his son Eleazar (v. 28). For Moses there was a Joshua, “full of the spirit of wisdom" (Deut. 34:9). It is always so. None of us is indispen sable.

Hiddeaite. N. C T he great massee of our fellow- m en are going In th e w rong direc­ tion a* they journey through life. T his is Indeed to be regretted and deeply deplored. W e know when m en go through life-in the w rong direction they shall land at the w rong destination. Common sense and reason tells us so; the Bible tells us so. E very hum an being who is living in sin, serving the devil and bound by his tyrannical power, is absolutely going in the w rong direction. It is true that there ate those who are highly ed­ ucated am ong this num ber; those w ho have climbed to blgb posit- ions, even to fam e and earthly glo­ ry; those who are m aking vast sum s of m oney; those who are rich; those who are very Influential; those who are leaders and educators, and even m ighty rulers, as well as the masses who never fill any place but tbe commonplace. W hy do men not stop and take reckoning of their direction? T he sailor on the sea know s his direc­ tion; be know s the w ay be is trav­ eling, and the place to w hich be is headed. T he sam e is true of tbe pilot who rides In an air plane. H e has bis direction and he keeps true to it. T he sam e is likewise true of the traveler on land, unless he by chance is lost. W hy should it not be equally as true oi every soul who is journeying through life tow ard eternity, and into eternity? It ought to be. O yes indeed. It O nght T o Be! T his is the most vitally im portant journey any h u ­ m an ever m ade. W e m ake it but once. W e cannot retrace our steps and travel the road of life again. D ear soul, w hat direction are you traveling? Stop, think, look! A re going right o r wrong? Don’t think because you are going w ith the masses that you are going in the right direction. T he m asses have never traveled heavenw ard, but hell ward. I t has always been the m inority th at have traveled in the tig h t direction.. T his is the narrow road heavenw ard. T he m ajority travel the broad road hellward. W ho are you traveling w i t h ? W hich way are you going? Be honest, b e considerate. Don’t m erely drift through life as the dum b beast who has no aim , no plam , no purpose, no goal. Be a m an, a thoughtful man, a sincere m an, a godly m an, a noble man. G o upw ard, not downward. Go heavenw ard, not bellward W atcb your direction. Jam es M. Landis, t f th e New Deal bureauracy, says “ true Am eri­ canism is the Am ericanism of the F our Freedom s.’!

I quote: “ Discussions of w here the money cam e from to buy two thousand, four hundred pints of llqnor for the H ot Springs F o o d Conference brought up the question in debate W ednesday of w hether any of the N aval funds would go th at route. M embers said no, and asserted the conference beverage w as supplied by a Special State D epartm ent fund under direc control of the Presid en t.” I have w ritten Secretary of S tate Cordell H ull, asking him if the a- bove statem ent is true, from just w bat fund the m oney was taken to bnv liquor from for the conferees at H ot Spring. I sent copies oi the letter to Senator G eorge, Congress­ m an T arver and G overnor D arden, V irginia. I have replied from Sen­ ator George and Congressm an T ar ver, stating that they do not know where the money cam e from —that Congress had m ade no such appro­ priation.

E leanor Roosevelt, the nosey wife of the President, who is continual Iy getting her nose into everyone's business, has come forward w ith her own “ freedoms” th at will take her colored friends T he following editorial from T he Pennsylvania Tim es is of interest: W e have suspected m ore than once that some of tbe antics and ut- teranoes of Eleanor Roosevelt have been inspired by an aversion on her part to being eclipsed in the public eye bv her husband, who is no piker at grabbing off pttlllc eye bv her husband, w ho is no piker at grabbing off publicity. AU of us have heard of F D R ’s F our Freedom ’s but it is not gen­ erally know n th at E leanor has con­ cocted a quartet herself aimed at w hat she regards as a dom estic ty­ ranny W e didn’t know until we read In a negro paper comm ent on an article she had w ritten for T he T bresholk, organ o f t h e United States S tudent Assembly. H er ar­ ticle was entitled “ Abolish Jim Crow .” T he editor of the negro sheet hailed it as “ one of the best expressions we have seen in some tim e by an A m erican w hite person on w hat Democracy ought to mean in the U nited States instead of the travesty we have.” H e goes on to quote w ith approval several ex­ tracts from Eleanor’s article that Eleanor’s article th at expresses views w hich dreanathem e to South­ ern people, am ong them the state­ m ent th at no force or law has oeen able to stop racial interm ingling. T he term “ Jim Crow” is, of course, used by E leanor and other trouble m akers like her as a rebuke io Southern people, who believe th at certain usages governing tbe relations of the races should be m aintained. Observe th at tbe ne gro editor says these usages, based ou experience and acquiesced in by wise negro leaders in the South, m ake our democracy a “ travesty,” or a sham . N egro leaders in the N orth seem slow to perceive th at such half- baked ideas as these from Mrs. Roosevelt do nothing-to help tbe negro race. They stubbornly—and purposely -close their eyes to the fact th at the very poor people at whom these diatribes are aimed have done more than any other to im prove th e lot of the negro. It is a tru th th at the negro in the South has advanced as Jar and as fast as his endownm euts and his energy energy w ould carry him ; and that he has done it under the guidance and w ith the help of bis w hite neighbors. T he attem pt of Eleanor and the negro press to make it appear that negroes in the -South are *'jim crowed” out of rights and privi* leges needed for their well being and progress is ju st mischievous nonsense. B ut it snares the votes — this codling of negroes — and Eleanor’s husband is running for re-election.

Wants Beer Kept Away From Boys A W est Coast new s item tells of a soldier w riting bis m other from a South Pacific post, “ Please forgive me, but I have begun to drink two bottles of beer a day. W e have that much rationed to us each day. It is the only cold drink on the is­ land.” T hat sort of a thing m akes me angry enough to start a w ar here at home. My son, 21, is on the way to this area. H ow do I know but that he will be victimized by the sam e bell born situation? A nation th at stoops to such stupidity and to such conniving w ith the beer barons of tbe country, isn’t w orthy of the sacrificial blood of these boys. If I had know n th at m v boy would have beer rationed to him in the arm y I would bave gone to jail and taken him w ith me, before I would have allowed him to volunteer to serve in the arm y. A s far as I know there is noth ing th at can be or will be done a- bout this condition at tbe present tim e. I have w ritten letters to tbe President and to tbe Secretary of W ar about th e stupid policy of the governm ent in subjecting these mil­ lions of young women, to the con­ tam inations that come from the con sum ption of alcoholic beverages In the traioing centers. Less than nothing was done to correct the evil of t^e policy Now the sort of thing the soldier’s letter reveals show s w hat the infernal policy to­ ward liquor and beer has eventuat­ ed in. If there is no w ater to drink on those islands In the Pacific, there is plenty ot it here in the U nitedStates and no beer baron has to be paid for it. W ater can be sent to those boys, or other liquid products th at they need.

Foorth Term Speculation Ostensibly there is a great deal m ore opposition to President Roose­ velt in connection with Ja fourth term than he has ever m et before in any of bis three previous successful bids for the W hite Honse. It m ust be assumed, first of all, this newspaper believes, that Mr. Roosevelt expects to be the virtually unanimous choice of his party again and th at he will be elected for a fourth time. But it m ust be evident even to him and to bis. closest political advis era, that his popularity has waned, prim arily, on account of the relative Iy sorry way the critical issues of tbe w ar on the home front have been handled - or rather m anhandled.—- C harlotte tN .

He Iu s becom e well acquainted- with m any phases of arm y life but because of U s classification as a cook and U s too-often K P assignm ents be knows m ore about the Company kitchen than m ost rookies. Ho has acquired a good understanding e t “ goldbricking,” “ shooting the breeze** and all the other extra-curricular soldier activities. As we pick ap the story he Is discussing some of the interesting traits of his close friend, Private Sher. I t is with Sher that H argrove has shared m any of his adventures. CHAPTER X There was one Sunday evening When Sher started a letter to his family and found, after a couple of paragraphs, that there was nothing for him to write about. “Here, Jun­ ior,” he said. “Write a letter for your old daddy. Give them the old Hargrovian schmaltz.” Since Junior was in - a devilish mood, he sat down and wrote a long and inspired letter to the Shers of Columbus, Ohio—telling them how their little Maurice was falling be­ hind in his class by goldbricking and hanging out late at the Service'Club, entreating them to return him to Bis true career, the Army. I finished by saying, “You see who’s writing the letters; you should know where to send the cookies. Forget that bum Maury.” ( Several days later—after I had swapped in skillet for a typewriter and had moved to Headquarters Bat­ tery—I came by Battery A to see if I had any mail from my nonwriting friends in Charlotte. There weren’t any letters, but there was a package which looked about the size of a steamer trunk. There were enough cookies inside to feed a small regi­ment for three days. The card inside read: “Dear Har­ grove—We think your idea about the cookies is superb. Give Maury one or two; he’s a good boy when he wants to be. Why don’t you come up to Columbus on your furlough?” It seemed that this beautiful friendship—with all its fragrant memories, its happy hours and hell- raising, its beautiful cigarettes, cookies, and Samaritan relatives— was destined to end with the clos­ ing of the basic training cycle here. —sa— The old gang, which has lived and worked and played together for over three months and has grown into a close and sympathetic brotherhood, is dissolving now. The training cy­ cle is being finished and already the old ties are loosing. The student cooks whom I grew to know - and feel a fondness for during those months are not so for­ tunate as some of the other soldiers. The Charlotte boys who were in­ ducted with me and who went i I’ve spent too much time flirting Irith that cute little waitress at the delicatessen in Fayetteville. through their antitank training to­ gether will go together to Fort Knox and will continue to be with each other for at least a while long­ er. On the other hand, these stu­ dent cooks of Battery A will not go out together. No Fort is going to be sent a whole battery of cooks. One cook will be needed here, another there, and the old third platoon will be scattered from hell to breakfast. An old thirty-year man, with five or six hash marks on his sleeve, will tell you that no matter how long you stay in the Army, you’ll never find a battery that quite stacks up to the first battery in which you served, no group of buddies quite like the old gang you knew first. There’s a reason for it. In your first organization, you learn for the first time all the regulations and the customs and the traditions of the Army. When you first face them, they’re tough or they’re uninterest­ ing, and,when you finally get to un­ derstand and agree with them, they’re identified in your memory with the battery where you learned them.With the men who serve with you there, you grow closer through hard­ship and privation than you can pos­ sibly grow to any other group. After you get out into a line organization^ a real tactical unit, such as these boys are entering—any hardship or misery is just a part of the routine. The sufferers are men rather than boys.But in this first training cycle, this rookie stage, you haven’t been hard­ ened. Vou and the new soldiers about you are sensitive; delicate boys, newly yanked from home or school, accustomed to an easy-going *nd usually painless life. Vott share each other’s illness, fatigue, despair. When Happy Menza grows home­ sick for Buffalo and McGlauflin starts a wistful reminiscing about the lakes and forests of Minnesota, you are homesick for them rather than for yourself. You are compan­ ions tested in misery. Friday night was probably the last evening the boys of my old crowd would be together. At least, it was the last evening they were sure of being together. The following day they were to go home for a week’s furlough. On their return, next Mon­ day, they will be assigned to their permanent stations to enter the field as soldiers. So they arranged to hold a party Friday night on the river beyond Fayetteville. When we rode to the river in our chartered bus, we rang the welkin with the old songs—the faintly fra­ grant songs you pick up through the years and the “Caisson Song” and “Old King Cole” that you learn in the Army. They were boisterous, those songs, but a melancholy strain ran under all of them. At the party we ate barbecue and we drank beer and we recalled the best anecdotes of the training cycle. We sang and we shouted. Two or three of the boys dipped a little too deep into the keg and became slight­ ly sentimental. And although the food and the beer were the best, the songs were the songs we loved and the anecdotes were the cream of the season, it was empty joy. It had a dull undercurrent of sorrow. It was the sort of feeling that you know in the last hour before the New Year’s bells, the feeling that reaches its fullest when “Auld Lang Syne” is heard. Since we left our homes last July we’ve learned a lot. Drills and rifles, pup tents and gas masks, all of that.This, though—the scattering of our first fraternity—is another thing we' have learned, now and for the first time. It is our first lesson in a new kind of homesickness, bred only in the Army. - I t t - “Private Hargrove,” I said to my­ self, “you have been doing quite too much gallivanting lately. There have been too many movies, too many bull sessions, too many hours spent at the Service Club and too much time spent flirting with that cute little waitress at the., delicates­ sen in Fayetteville. Tonight, Pri­vate Hargrove, you will take this in­ teresting and improving book, read it until Lights Out and go to bed promptly at nine o’clock.” There was a little back talk, .a little argument, a little entreaty. However, the forces of Truth and Progress prevailed. Immediately after supper I adjourned to the squadroom, arranged myself com­ fortably on my bunk and dug into the interesting book. Peace and quiet held sway about me. Private Wesley Sager, late of Am­ sterdam, New York, grew weary of the quiet. Yawning widely, he rolled over in bed and with a sudden swoop yanked the pillow from be­ neath tiie head of Private Melvin Hart. “Yippee,” screamed Private Sager, tossing the pillow across the squadroom to a willing accomplice. “Yippee,” screamed the willing ac­ complice, tossing the pillow back to Private Sager. Private Hart rose and retrieved his pillow with dignity and formali­ ty. He placed it on his bunk, smoothed it and laid his head upon it. Three privates sighed in resigna­ tion. The incorrigibles were at it again. Private Sager lay quiet for a while. Then he broke into a loud, regular, but unconvincing snore. The three sighing privates did not re­ turn to their occupations, but lay in philosophic expectation. Once the boys in that comer got started, nothing but physical exhaustion could stop them. Private Sager turned as if tossing in his sleep. Private Hart noted the move and held his book ready to strike if a hand came toward his pillow. Private Sager turned again, facing away from Private Hart, and Private Hart relaxed his vigil. When he did, the hand shot out once more and the pillow sailed across the room and into waiting arms. Again Private Hart retrieved the pillow and again he lay down. “Why," he asked, “must you behave like a two-year-old infant? Can’t you act like a normal adult?” “Sure I can,” Private Sager re­ plied. “Kindly step outside with me and put up your fists.” Private Hart gave vent to a quiet and gentlemanly oath. "Please do me the honor to shut your mouth,” he requests. “I should like to read without the clamor of your big yap roaring in my ears.” This is but the opening gun. Al­most daily it marks the beginning of a half-hour session of blusters, threats, extravagantly insulting re­ marks, and repeated invitations from each side for the other to step outside and settle it. Nothing ever comes of it and soon the contending parties tire of the play. Silence reigns again, but its throne is shaky. Private Hart tires of his book and turns to Private Sager. “Were you at the dance last night when the redhead got started telling what she thought of Jim Carney’s danomg?” Private Carney picks up the bait. “Anything Hart says about me or about what anybody else says about me is entirely fictitious, and any resemblance to persons living or dead is coincidental and not intend­ ed." Private Sager sits up suddenly in bed. “Don’t talk like that about Hart,” he says in a quiet, serious, and menacing voice. “Anything you say about Hart is a personal insult to me. If you’re inclined to insult me, kindly take off your stripe and step outside with me.” “Don’t you go talking like that to the ranking first-class private of this section,” rasps Private Hart. "I don’t like your manner at all. Kind­ ly step outside with me while I beat your brains out.” If you want peace and quiet on these stay-at-home nights, the best solution is to go to the second bar­racks down the line. There’s no­ body down there except fifty-eight members of the band, who are al­ ways rehearsing at this time of night. —Pa— Slang runs wild in the Army. It’s like a disease or the liquor habit. Among the boys who sit around on \ r & v A new and gullible man is sent for the cannon report, or the robber flag which is used on rainy days. the back steps after Lights Out and bat the breeze far into the night, no simple and understandable Eng­ lish word is used where'a weird and outlandish concoction can be sub stituted. Water is GI lemonade. Salt is sand or Lot’s wife; pepper is specks; sugar is sweetening com­ pound. Milk is cat beer; butter, dogfat. Ketchup is blood. In the untiring imagination of the soldier, green peas become China berries; hominy grits are glamorized into Georgia ice cream; rice is swamp seed. Potatoes become Irish grapes; prunes change to strawberries; hot cakes become blankets. Bread is punk and creamed beef on toast is punk and salve. Meat Ibaf and hash are kennel ration^. It is strictly against the code of the Army to say ,a complimentary word about the food or the cook, no matter how good the food is or how hard the cook labors to make it so. Oscar of the Waldorf in the Army, would still be either a slum-burner or a belly-robber. Back at the News, the boys in the composing room and the mailing department used to send greenhorns searching all over the building for erasing ink, striped or dotted ink, paper stretchers, and other non ex­istent items. Here, a new and gul­ lible man is sent for the cannon re­ port, or for the biscuit gun, the flagpole key, or the rubber flag which is used on rainy days. Here are some of the most popu­ lar figures of speech: Army Bible—the Articles of War; regulations. Barrage—a party, especially where the Demon Bum rears-its ugly head.Blanket drill—sleep. Butchershop—a dispensary or hospital. By the numbers—like clock­ work; with precision and effi­ ciency. Chili bowl—regulation haircut. Chest hardware—medals.

Glue—honey.Goof off—to make a mistake. Handshaking—playing up to superiors. Higher brass — the higher ranks of officers. Hollywood corporal—an acting corporal. Holy Joe—the chaplain. Honey wagon — the garbage truck. Housewife—a soldier’s sewing kit.Jubilee—reveille, which is too often pronounced “revelee.” Mother Machree—a sob-story alibi.Pocket lettuce—paper money. Pontoon checks — canteen checks, good for credit at the post exchange. ‘ Ride the sickbook—to gold- brick the easy way by pretend­ ing to be ill.

GOLDEN TEXT—Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin Is a reproach to any people.— Proverbs 14:34. What makes a nation great? God’s dealings with Israel answer that question. The history which we have briefly touched upon in our study of the first four books of the Bible is reviewed in Deuteronomy. Moses, realizing that the end was at hand for him and that a new generation was about to go into the promised land, reviewed the history of the people, restated their laws, and renewed the appeal of God for their loyal obedience. This rec­ ord is found in the Book of Deuteron­ omy, from which our lesson is taken. We find here that the nation which is truly great— I. Worships the True God (w. 13-15). There is a fundamental factor which must underlie all real nation­ al greatness—love of God. This has an inseparable corollary—serving Him “with all your heart, and aU your soul.” Says the wise man of Proverbs (14:34), “Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people.” We have well-nigh forgot­ ten that fact. We need to be remind­ed of it again in God’s word to Israel. What is the result? The blessing ’of God upon the land, the giving of abundant harvest, in fact, the open- handed generosity of God. H. Beeds God’s Warning <w. 16, 17). This is the negative side. God dealt with Israel through promises if they were faithful, and the threat of judgment if they forgot Him. One is as important as the other in the leading of a nation—and in the rearing of children. We, like our heavenly Father, should faith­ fully keep every promise; but we should just as surely fulfill every warning of coming judgment. America has seen the handwriting of God in warning concerning its waywardness and sin. Will it heed and avoid further judgment? - m . Honors God’s Word (w. 18, 19). Loving God and His Word is not a matter for theological speculation or for sanctimonious discussion in some dark cloister. Thank God the Christian faith is at its best in the ordinary affairs of life. It finds its proper place in the tender relation­ ship of parent and child. Its teach­ ings are pure, delightful, simple and entirely appropriate to any oc­ casion, whether one sits or rises, walks or lies down. God’s words are the words to be laid up in the heart and in the soul, to be taught to our children, to be the constant and normal subject of conversation. IV. Testifies for God (w. 20, 21). Here again we have the home be­ fore us. And it is, of course, Uie home which makes the nation. If the home speaks for God, the nation trill do so, inevitably and effectively. We may not, as did the pious Jew, fasten a little container bear­ing God’s Word on our doorpost, but we may make the home itself and the life of its inhabitants an effec­ tive testimony for God before our neighbors. It is obvious that the home either speaks: for or against God. A pro­fession of faith in Him, an outward reputation for adherence to religious principles which does not vitally touch our dealings with one another and with the community in which we live—these clearly testify not for God but against Him. On the other hand, who can estimate the value of a sweet and orderly Christian home? Whether it be on a dusty city street, or on a quiet cojintry lane, it is a light that cannot be hid. V. Counts on God for Victory (w. 22-25). God promised that if Israel dili­ gently kept His commandments, loved Him and walked in His ways, they would be a nation that would overcome and dispossess their ene­ mies, and prosper in every good purpose. God desires the nation which hon­ ors His name to stand before the other nations of the earth victorious and prosperous. The purpose of the Lord for Is­ rael was a far greater one than they ever achieved, because they fell'into sin and drew back in-un­ belief. The limits of the land which He proposed to give them, as stated in verse 24, far exceed that which they did possess in Palestine.- God’s plans are large plans. His promises to us, like those to Israel, are stupendous. We need to learn to take Him at His word. “No man shall be able to stand before you” (v. 25) was the promise to Israel. “Ask what ye will” (John 1 15:7) is the promise to us. They failed because they did not be­ lieve God Will we fail for the same reason? t FIRST-AID'1, to the AILING HOUSE X fty ROGBtB.

Answer: When the underside of a floor is exposed, as it may be from a cellar, the movement of loose boards can be seen when a squeak­ ing place is walked on. The loose­ ness can be taken out and the squeak stopped by driving the thin end of a shingle between the board and the supporting beam. When the underside of a .floor is not open, the squeak can be taken out by nailing through the floor to tighten the boards against the beams. This begins by locating the positions of the beams. The direction of beams, and their separations, Usually can. be seen in cellar and attic; beams elsewhere in the house are likely to follow. Two-inch or two-and-a- half-inch finishing nails, which have small heads, should be used. Drive these in pairs at opposite angles, sinking the heads below the surface with a nail set. Holes above the heads can be filled with plastic wood. Sometimes a squeak can be taken out by working talcum pow­ der into the cracks between boards. ... PAINT STAINS Question: How can I remove paint stains from windows, linoleum, hard, wood floors and fixtures such as lights, brackets, rods, etc., made of brass and other metals? Answer: The paint spots on glass or metal can be removed by careful scraping with an old safety razor blade. Those on linoleum and hard­ wood floors might be removed by careful, gentle rubbing with fine steel wool and a little turpentine; patience is necessary for this work. ... Rusted Casements Question: Our steel casement win. dows are rusted on the inside from condensation. What type of paint should be used to correct this’ condi­ tion? Answer: If any paint is left on the metal, it can be softened with paint remover (be careful 'of fire) and then scraped and wiped off. Rust can be softened with liquid rust remover, to be had at an automobile. supply store, and then scraped off with steel wool. Before repainting, clean the metal thoroughly with ben­ zine (also inflammable). Apply a coat of red lead paint and allow to dry for about'a week. You then can finish with oil paint or. enamel. Storm windows would not only stop the condensation but would keep your house warmer and save fuel. .... Plate-Glass Mirrors Question: I have three heavyplate-glass mirrors .which I would like to fasten in my kitchen/ How can holes be made in the comers, and what type of screws should be used in fastening the mirrors to the walls? Answer: You should have the holes drilled by a dealer in plate glass, who has the equipment for this kind of work. Too much risk is involved for an amateur to at­ tempt the job. You can get the name of a firm dealing in hardware and fasteners for hanging mirrors by inquiring of the Architects Sam­ ples Exhibit,; 101 Park Avenue, New York city. The minors should have good qualify silvering to withstand tiie moisture of a kitchen., • • * Snede-Bound Boobs Question: I recently purchased an edition of books bound in suede leather. It had been stored in a house , that ’was unoccupied for a long while, and the books are badly mildewed. Is there anything tp ap­ ply to .the bindings to take off the mold? ' Answer: Remove the mildewwith a brush made especially for suede leather; do.not use too much pressure. Whstt mold remains may be removed by wiping with a cloth damp with alcohol. There are sev­ eral types- of leather dressings made ,especially for ' leather :book­ bindings. Your public ,library, may be able to give you the name of this dressing. Cment Walk Question: I would'like to make a. cement walk about one foot wide and; 35 feet long. How much cement,, sand and gravel will I need? !.want to make it about three inches deep. Answer: Concrete walks sbould be at least four inches deep.- For com­ plete information on laying concrete walks, as well as proportions and amount of material necessary, ask the Portland Cement Association, 33 West Cbrand. avenue, Chicago, HI., to send you a copy of their free booklet on the subject Dramatic Setting for ”| Various Treasures ■ I MATTER if you move frofia ’ hither to yon or change front a spacious house to a single room there are certain treasures tint will mean home to you.

The body was laid to test in Rose cemetery with Mksooic honors. The many beautiful floral tributes attested the high esteem in which he was held. In the death of Mr. Meroney the town loses one of its best citizens—a man who will not only be missed in the borne, the church and the fraternal organizations, but by ell of tu. both old and voting. For more than 40 years we had known Hilary Meruney. He was our friend. He Wdted our office almost daily for many years, He took much interest in watching onr press print The Record, and in reading the “News of Long Ago." We shall miss him as much or perhaps more than any citizen of our long acquaintance. We consulted frequently In writing articles concern­ing past history of the town and county. “Mr. Hilary.” as we called him, was always glad to help us in any way possible. To the loved ones Iett to mourn bis passing we extend heartfelt sympathy In this sad oar. One by one our friends are crossing Te great divide to rest on the other ride.

Who’s News ThisWeek By Delos Wheeler Lovelace Consolidated Features.—WNU Release. A MOST durable ambassador isSir Samuel John Gumey Hoare, now back at 10 Downing Street totell how he talked turkey to Franco. a D-. D cv He is thin-A Bit Pompous, Sir ^ sh with a Samuel Has Plenty tight mouth Of Solid Qualities “ daf that on occasion has run through the house of commons like the rasp of a file. But he knows his mind and probably knew, too, that Allied -victories had ripened the time to back Franco into a comer. One of those modem corre­spondents, who zip between. Lon­ don and New Fork the way an older generation used to ride the expresses between New York and Washington, reports that Hoare loves the pomp and cir­cumstance of pnblic life. He cer­ tainly acts as though he does when he togs out in court dress. His uniform is perfection. The sword that he wears as an Elder Brother of Trinity Hpnse slants jauntily. The blaze of his deco­ rations heightens the light of’ pleasure in his eyes. Sir Samuel is a prodigious worker, with an infinite capacity for impor­tant detail and his performance in Spain has been satisfactory all around. His wife, maybe, has helped there. She writes a weekly pep piece for consular representatives. The Hoare family, though not venerable, has been in banking quite some time and there is plenty of money to support an ambassadorial establishment. Sir Samuel is 63. rPH E Nazis in Belgium, according to exiled Prime Minister Hubert Pierlot, are slowly starving more than half of Belgium’s small chil- Nazis Are Starving ^ree ^ e r BelgiumtSChildren, cent of H. Pierlot Declares Jhose he*tween three and six, he says, are undernour­ ished. Pierlot speaks on the basis of first- rate information. He was prime minister before the captivity and the people who remained behind still look upon him as their leader and smuggle information over the Chan­ nel regularly. A trifle old to fight in this war, 53, in the last struggle with Ger­ many Pierlot enlisted as a pri­ vate, finished a lieutenant and stayed on in the reserve to be­ come a captain of the Chasseurs Ardennais. That “Ardennais,” probably evoked memories he could not resist. <It was in the Ardennes that the bloody bat­ tles of Oie snmmer of 1914 were fonght, futile victories for the Germans they turned ont to be. After peace Pierlot became one of Brussels’ most eminent lawyers and ultimately was elected to the senate. A thick man with a square face and little hair but vast eyebrows and a heavy moustache, he held various ^portfolios in the cabinet and reached "the prime ministership just before the Germans’ second invasion. He barely escaped their pursuit and with his wife and'seven children went first to Vichy, then to Spain and by way of Portugal to England. King Leopold, meanwhile, fell in the Nazis’ hands and Pierlot’s first com­ ment was bitterly accusing. It was, probably, only double talk for Ger­ man consumption because he de­ fends bis king now. A FTER an earlier war council called in Washington by the au­ thors of the Atlantic Charter, it was rumored that a veteran general LikenMountbatten ^ ^ f r o m ToGemWellington the Burma In Various Ways °ffensive now tossed to the young, the hell-for-leather Lord Louis Mountbatten. Gossips said that when any schedule of men, ships, planes and guns was drawn up the oldster tck-tck-tcked and asked double. Mountbatten has al­ ways gone ahead with the tools at hand and has used these so well he is a vice admiral at 43. Incidentally, a superstitious neighbor points out that Welling­ ton, when he finished Napoleon’s generals in the Peninsular war, was 44. Burma, the neighbor notes, is also on a peninsula and Lord Mountbatten is 43. The “lord” is by courtesy, not Bnrke. An elder brother inherited the title of Marquis of Milford Ha­ ven and a nephew holds it now. Mountbatten is only plain Lonis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas; but like Wellington, also a young­ er son, he may be more than marquis in the end. Until 1914 the family name was Battenberg. It was changed because anti-German sentiment chafed Lord Louis’ father, an English admiral also. The cousinship with Britain’s king, so often mentioned, stems from a grandmother, one of Victoria’s daughters. The line began a little less than a hundred years ago when a prince of Hesse married, morga- natically, a Russian couiitess. Mount­ batten himself.married the fabulous­ly wealthy daughter of a British commoner. The remainder of the family consists of two young ana pretty daughters. . New Commander, GOP Chairman, Danish Minister Lord Louis Mountbatten, left, has been appointed head of the newly created Allied Southeast Asia com­ mand. The recapture of Burma was believed to be one of his early objectives. Center: Harrison Spangler, Republican national chairman.

A SERIES OF SPECIAL ARTICLES BY THE LEADING WAR CORRESPONDENTS Roast Lizard By Robert McCormick (WNU FAAture—Thnugh epeeiel erreugeaeut with CeUieT* Weetly.) Every American plane in the Pa­ cific carries a combination cookbook and guidebook, but it’s a strange example of either. The main idea behind the volume for the present is to save the lives of fliers forced down in the weird reaches of the South Seas. But after the war, it will be priceless to those of us who actually have the courage to take up beachcombing as a profession. The book tells us how to roast a goanna to a turn. A goanna is a big lizard, and the tail makes a rav­ishing dish if properly cooked. The book also tells us that a stuffed bandicoot is elegant eating, that its flesh is scarcely distinguishable from rabbit. The fact that the bandicoot is nothing but a large rat with big ears has nothing to do with its taste. „ And the yavato! There’s a dish that would thrill you clear down to your toes. Cooked op in a casserole, the yavato is something right out of this world. It’s right out of our world anyhow, sinee it’s described as “a large cream-colored grub found In rotting wood.’’ The book was put together by Dr. Frank Roberts of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. Much of the information in it was supplied by Dr. William Strong, director of the Ethnogeographic board, which sounds very dull, but the Ethnogeo- graphic board has the delightful job of finding out all it can about the personal habits and environment of other folks all over the world. How to Find Honey. The book does more than merely tell how to cook the strange flora and fauna a man is likely to run into on a desolate island in the Pacific. The main body of the book is divid­ ed into two columns. First, the name of the food, then a description and an explanation of where to find it and how to cook it. An ordinary fig may be quite a strange business to a pilot from Brooklyn, for example. Figs grow­ ing on trees don’t look much like those in packages. Then there’s honey. Honey is a blessed thing for a hungry wanderer to come across. The trick of finding it revolves around recognizing the insects that make it. In the tropics, the honey bee is a mild, stingless little thing that looks like an ordi­ nary fly. The book tells the boys to tie a bit of white cloth on one of the bees, or Splriiikle it-Witb'flour,-then follow it through its zigzag course to its hive. There’s plenty of food lying around in the Pacific, both on land, and In the water. But you have to know how to find it, and how to avoid tiie items that are poisonous, of which there are fortunately very few. The coconut ..aim is practically a grocery store all by itself. The meat of its nut is fine food, ripe or green. The liquor of the green fruit is refreshing. And when fermented, it becomes a powerful wine. The tip-top bunch of leaves on the tree is a true delicacy. It is known as palm cabbage, and it’s cooked just like cabbage and tastes like it. Baked Breadfruit. Breadfruit is almost as much of an all-round dish as coconut. It grows in a large tree, and the fruit hangs on the tree like green bal­ loons, with pock-marked skin. Breadfruit is a substantial item of food when roasted, baked or fried. After it’s cooked, it can be sliced and dried, and it’ll keep indefinitely. But it’s not all vegetables and no meat. The book has directions for tracking down and fixing up such things ■ as- scrub- turkey, wild ■ pigs, barking pigeons, parrots and white cockatoos. The Filipinos are nuts about locusts, particularly when they are pickled to vinegar or fried In salty fat. Sea food offers a fine variety. The book tells of a number of shellfish that can be picked up around the islands in the Pacific. Things like the cockle, the cowry, the limpet, the conch and a lot of the other creatures, whose principal attrac­ tion has been their shells, are nice eating. So are prawns and fresh­water mussels. The Biting Cone. The wanderer has to watch out for one shellfish, however. It’s called the cone, because it’s shaped like a pine cone. The cone is not only poison to eat, but has sharp teeth that shoot venom into you like a ser­ pent’s fangs. Furthermore, it seems to get positive pleasure’ out of using its teeth. The book tells how to cook the shellfish if no kitchen utensils are handy. Simply build a fire on top of them. They stew in their own iuices and come out quite palatable. Or they can be eaten raw.

TIT"HILE making “Sahara” VV for C o lu m b ia , B ruce Bennett met a marine who’ll have to be referred to merely as Joe, the marine. Joe was on leave after some tough Guadalcanal fighting, and due soon to return to the South Pacific. The actor told Joe about a Guate­ malan machete he’d collected when he was making a Tarzan serial about ten years ago. “That’s a little some­thing I’d like to have,” said Joe, so Bennett sent it to him. Last week a V-Mail note from Joe said: “My machete is the pride of the outfit. I spent two solid weeks sharpening it. And brother, I ain’t out to cut hay!” Bennett wishes he’d had dozens of them to hand over. Nobody could be more surprised than the originators of the air’s WLS Barn Dance Show are at the way it has developed. It was started as a program that would appeal princi­ pally to listeners in rural areas, but JSiE*'. H A L O’H A L L O R A N come October 2 it celebrates its IOth anniversary on the network as a show that many city people love. It’s one of the few that has a paying studio audience. The genial Hal O’Halloran will be on hand as usual as m. c. Metro is certainly rounding up the popular band leaders; they recently signed Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians for a musical, and al­ ready have Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, Xavier Cugat, Bob Crosby, Vaughn Monroe and Spike Jones. Watch for a radio quiz m aster to name three of Hollywood’s loveliest who have not played opposite Cary Grant. It would be hard to nam e one. Laraine Day shares honors with him In “ Mr. Lucky,” and is the latest of a list of 28 of his heroines. Irene Dunne, Katharine Hepbum and Sylvia Sidney have appeared three times apiece in Grant pictures and he’s probably our only ranking star who has both Joan and Con­ stance Bennett on his roster of' “ Celebrities I Have Made Love to on the Screen.” — * — The cast of “Mr. District Attor­ ney” made money when they won a wager from the “Ellery Queen” performers. Jay Jostyn of the for­ mer show was a guest star on the latter, and his colleagues bet the op­ position that he'd solve the mystery. — *— Just a natural—The soldiers sta­tioned at Camp Ellis, near Lewiston, 111., were trying to find just the right girl to name “Miss Camp Ellis,” and wound up by selecting Anita Ellis, songstress of the Jack Carson show on CBS. Every now and then Hi Brown, producer and director of “The Ad­ventures of Nero Wolfe,” runs into an old-timer in radio who reminds him of his first program on the air. It was called “High-Brow Readings by Hi Brown,” and he’d rather for­get it. — * — Three years ago an aspiring young actor named Curtis Rudolf failed to obtain a bit part In a little theater production In Cleveland, and was ad­ vised to try some other line of work. 'R ecently Metro staged a first show­ ing on “ Salute to the Marines” in Cleveland, and an actor named Don­ ald Curtis, christened Curtis Rudolf, had a leadhig role in the Wallace Beery starrer. — * —S' A prop man on “The Fallen Spar­ row” set laboriously made “snow” by flaking ice into a freezing bin— and returned from lunch to find that John Garfield and Walter Slezak had returned from their lunch and used it all up throwing snowballs at Maureen O’Hara and Director Rich­ ard Wallace. When they learned how much labor had been involved, they pitched in and made more. ODDS AND ENDS-The small black microphone into which folks on the Bing Crosby program sing has been named “Skinny Ennis” ... Bob Hawk, of “Thanks to the Yanks,” has an idea fora movie qua in which several studios are interested... Fred Astaire’s signed a IongJerm contract with Metro, where he made his first pio- Utre—“Dancing lady” which starred Joan Crawford and Clark Gable, in a east in­ cluding Franchot Tone, and made UtUe of Astaire9S talents. . . Dtchie Jones, the air’s new ”Henry Aldrich,” went to Hollywood several years ago as a protege of Hoot Gib* son—he was the voice of “Pinocdtio” in the picture of that name. ★ ★ ‘ '-Ar" ^ HOVSiHOLP I f c i i l 'm m P u t Nutrition in That Lunch B ox (See Recipes Below) Let’s Pack a Lunch. Do you realize as your children once again begin the trek back to school with their lunch boxes that those mid-day meals should carry a third of the day’s calories in them? Lunches that are a bite-and-run excuse for a meal will not give chil­ dren or workers nourishment from which they are to draw the pep and energy, vim and vigor they need to do their best day’s work. Their loads are heavier to carry these days than ever before, and it behooves every homemaker to be on her toes to put in the box the very best lunch she can pack. Packing the lunch need not take undue time or effort. Assemble the equipment needed for packing a lunch at one convenient spot, and then you can get right to work with it as soon as you’ve put breakfast on the table. Keep staples on hand to simplify the lunch-making prob­ lem. This should include such things as crackers and cookies, cheese, milk, eggs, peanut butter, beans, salmon, sardines, dried fruits, nuts, jelly, marmalade, pickles and olives. Whenever possible prepare a dish for the family that can be utilized in the lunch in some way. If you make a meat or fish loaf, this can be used as a sandwich filling. Sandwiches are the mainstay of the lunch box. However, as they are used so of- tejti vary the bSgd and fillings aflffnuch as pos-l sible to avoid that mealtime monot­ ony. Cut them in sections—they’re more attractive and easieiytb eat thatwayJHSTrap in waxed paper to keep from dry- _ ing out. Have the fillings moist to keep them from being unappetizing and spread the bread with butter, margarine or mayonnaise to keep it moist, fresh and tasty. Sandwich Fillings. Chopped hard-cooked egg, pickle or celery, mayonnaise on oatmeal bread. Cream cheese, chopped olives on white or whole wheat bread. Cream cheese or cottage cheese with jelly and marmalade with Bos­ ton Brown bread. Peanut butter or ground peanuts with chopped figs, dates or prunes, mayonnaise or cream to moisten on white bread. Ground dried beef with picMe and mayonnaise to moisten on rye bread. Meat or sardines in thick white Lynn Says: Going Places? Lunches that go plpces to school, to the defense plant or office should be just as attractive as you can make ’em. A box is better than a bag, as it will hold the food without having it get mussed. Keep lunch braces dean and air out. Jt the box has an enamel finish it can be washed out with soap and water. Any box can be aired out between lunches, kept free from crumbs. Use waxed paper to keep sand­ wiches fresh and moist, vegeta­ bles crisp and fresh. A vacuum bottle will keep beverages hot or cold, soups steaming hot. Easy- to-pack crackers with soup fur­ nish energy—give a real homey touch to the lunch.Try surprises often in the lunch box just for morale’s sake. A piece of favorite gum, candy or a few nuts, an orange, sectioned and peeled and peeling fitted over orange to give the appearance of being peeled but to keep it fresh and moist do loads to give the school child or worker a lift. Lunch Box Menu Cream of Tomato Soup Crackers Ham Salad on Whole Wheat Bread Chopped Egg Salad on IWute Bread Carrot Strips Fresh Apple Cookies sauce on white bread or bun. Ground ham and carrots with sour cream dressing on buttered rye bread. Cooked liver or liver sausage, mashed or ground fine with fried onion, minced, chili sauce on whole wheat, rye or pumpernickel bread. Ground veal, carrot and celery moistened with mayonnaise. Chopped carrots, raisins, and nuts, moistened with mayonnaise, on white or oatmeal bread. Oatm eal Bread.

Vary the lunch box beverage as often as possible, serving milk, hot chocolate or cocoa. For a change of menu, try an old favorite which contains iron—molasses milk drink, made by mixing I quart of milk with 2. or 3 tablespoons molasses and a dash of nutmeg. Spiced miik: To 6 cups heated milk, add % teaspoon cinnamon, dash of nutmeg or mace and stir vigorously. Add sugar, if desired, and serve hot or cold as preferred.

Whether the individual is working or at rest the sun may cause dizziness, headache, dryness of the skin, and dif­ficulty in breathing. Suddenly the patient falls, convulsions oc­ cur, and sometimes is apparently com­ pletely paralyzed. There is flushing of the face, delirium,' nausea, vomiting, a coated tongue, and high temperature— skin hot and red. This condition is called sunstroke or thermic fever. The patient is placed in a shady spot and ice or cold water is applied continuously to the surface of the whole body. Ice pack if available is placed behind ears and about the head. However, what is called heat ex­ haustion is now more often seen than sunstroke. Heat exhaustion us­ ually occurs where the individual is working hard amid great heat in a place where the ventilation is. poor. There is a feeling of great weak­ ness and the first thing noticed is that there is no perspiration on the skin which is very hot and dry, tem­ perature below normal and pulse feeble.In heatstroke the patient should be disrobed, to the underwear and placed on his back in some cool shady place. Ice bags are applied to the head and both armpits. The use of hand fans (or towels) to stir up air currents is advisable. When the patient recovers consciousness he should be given increasing quan­ tities of cold water by mouth and a quarter teaspoon of table salt with each glass of water. In what is called heat exhaustion, which, is a mild form of heatstroke, the body temperature instead of being high, as in heatstroke, may be below normal. Skin is pale and clammy and moist, breathing rapid and shallow. Treatment consists in placing patient in a cool place and giving him cool drinks of fruit juices and a quarter -teaspoonful (15 grains) of table salt every three hours.Getting the patient to a cool spot and giving cool drinks and table salt (to keep water in the body tis­ sues) is the main thought in the treatment of heat stroke and heat exhaustion. It is the great loss of water and salt from the body tissues that brings on the symptoms. • • ' * Allergies Grouped Into Three Gasses Hay fever is a form of allergy- being sensitive to certain sub­ stances.A simple definition of allergy is given by Dr. H. K. Detweiler, To­ ronto, in Ihe Btdletin of the Acade­ my of Medicine, Toronto. ‘‘Allergy is a condition of some individuals in which certain tissues react in an altered manner in the presence of specific substances (usually protein in nature) which, to the ordinary individual, are without effect.” Dr. Detweiler states that there are three main or major types of allergy or over-sensitivedess. These are (I) atopic allergy, (2) .bacterial allergy, (3) contact allergy. Ex­amples of atopic allergy are hay fever, pollen asthma, or asthma due to sensitiveness to protein of foods, furs, feathers, dander of animals, or various substances such as house dust, orris root, linseed. Examples of bacterial allergy are tuberculin-sensitive individuals and patients suffering from asthma caused by sinusitis, bronchitis, and other infections. Examples of contact allergy are skin inflammations due to contact with plants, chemicals and metals. What about heredity as a cause of allergy? The atopic type if not real­ ly hereditary shows a definite ten­ dency to follow the laws of heredity; bacterial allergy has not been defi­nitely established as being of a he­ reditary nature; contact allergy is not hereditary. ' What about treatment? Is the in­ jection of pollen vaccine effective in preventing hay fever? Does avoid­ ing using or small doses of the foods causing allergy prevent asthma or other allergic symptoms? Can asth­ matic attacks be prevented by “de- sensitizipg” these individuals with extracts of house dust, animal raid other substances?The great majority of these pa­ tients can obtain relief if they are patient enough to submit to the var­ ious tests necessary. • * • QUESTION BOX Q.—Will you tell me what I should get to cure swollen ankles? A— Swollen ankles m ay be a sim­ ple condition dne to weight on feet, or m ay be the first sign of a failing heart. Q.—What can I use for falling hair? A.—I know of no preparation or remedy for falling hair. Physicians have reported success in treatm ent of gray hair by use of vitam in B complex. / WS S -E W lN G C IR C L E 6*14 8464 Xoung Favorite. /''LIRLS are so fond of this par- ^ ticular dress.

A' cylinder under the barrel is filled with crushed ice which soon melts and gives off gas. , A measured amount of this gas enters the firing chamber when the trigger is pulled and propels .22-caliber bullets with a terrific force, one load-of the ice being sufficient for 1,800 riiots. . 847$ 12*42 D ue to an unusually large dem and and current w ar conditions, slightly m ore tim e Is required In filling orders for a few Ot the m ost popular pattern num bers.

T heir m ind, heart and soul craves, hungers and thirsts after m oney. T bey love m oney far better than they IoveGod and m an­ kind. Saint Paul said, “ T he love of money is the root of all evil.’’ ( I Tim . 6:10). If this statem ent were not in the Bible it w ould be' hard for m e to believe, but w hat­ ever G od’s holy a n d infallible W ord declares I know it is absolute Iy true. I positively cannot deny it. M ultitudes of m ankind will do alm ost anything for money. T hey will oftentim es stoop to the lowest depts of evil, sin, im m orality, crim e and degradation for money. T hey desire m oney above honesty, principal, rigbt, nobility, m anhood, salvation and heaven. M any peo­ ple work at jobs they absolutely know are w rong In the sight of God, w hich are a curse to man­ kind instead of a blessing, and in the m eantim e carry a guilty con­ science as they go through life, all for the sake of m oney. T hey know they are spending their strength and their precious tim e wrong, and th a t they are injuring their fellow, m en in body, m ind and soul, but they w ant money. M oney is their god. T bey rise up in the m orning thinking of monev, and they retire at night thinking of money. In the m eantim e they are neglecting their soul’s salvation, and shall m iss heaven and gain hell, all be­ cause m oney Is the upperm ost and suprem e desire of their heart N o doubt there are tens of thous­ ands of people in Am erica today, and m aybe m any In foreign coun­ tries, w ha w ant this horrible w ar to go right on because they, are m aking m oney out of it. T hey are getting big wages, some of whom are getting rich. T hey don’t care if m en spill th eir blood on the hor­ rible battlefields, or lose their lives In the air or on water, ju st so they are gaining financially. It doesn’t seem hardly possible th at any man could love m oney to th at extent, and that be could have such an un­ godly and wicked principal, never­ theless it is a fact Men who had rather m ake m oney out of w ar than for it to cease are alm ost as sinful and vile at heart as m urderers. Perhaps they are ju st as vile and guilty before A lm ighty G od. Mon- is is tbeir God, and if the life's blood of our sans will bring it into their hands, they are w illing th at it m ay be so, and even desiring such. H ell will be dreadful for. such m en.

Ickes Is Name Calling Again • T hem anpow ershortage failed to prevent Secretary Ickesfrom finding 110 employees to staff his Board on Geographical Names. This is a Government agency to find out the right names of places and to show you how to say them . Its $8000 -ayear director, Mere­ dith F. Burriil. explains it this way: “ You m ight be going down a high­ way and see a m ountain range gen­ erally known as the Messabi,” says Doctor Burriil, “ L ater you m ight see the same range from another highway, bnt it will be known by another nam e. O ur job is to see th at th at m ountain range has only one uniform nam e.’’ M aybesom eday Ickes or one of his Board on Geographical Names will look a t it from t! e people’s view­ point and find it called Bureaucratic W ast. FDR leaf*: I hope Americans will figure out for th e m se lv e s addi­ tional payroll sav­ ings. Team Work * Todd Caldwell, in the Fuqnay Springs Independent, the past week has an interesting editorial on the appointm ent of an equal num ber of Republicans and Dem ocrats on the Am erican delegation to th e peace conference. H e said: "In m anning the peace dele­ gates to represent the U nited States at Versailles. President W ilson, in 1919, nam ed four Dem ociats and one Republican, this boner of the President completed the job of the destruction of Am erican unity. Re­ publicans, as well as Democrats, had fought, bled and died to win the war. T hey resented the im pli­ cation, left by President W ilson’s action, they were not com petent to share in the w riting of the peace. A Republican senate related b y . killing tbe peace treaty. W e hope President Roosevelt or whoever else is in the W hite House when peace is being settled, will have the gum p tion to nam e as delegates to the peace conference an equal num ber of Democrats and Republicans, as was so wisely implied by M r. and M rs. Churchhill in a recent inter­ view. It takes team -work to a- chieve national unity.’’ Temporary Expediency Rumblings of discontent from the Deep South and border states, tra­ ditionally Democratic, have caused the President to temporily shelve some of his most loyal New Deal aides. When arch New Dealer Henry W allace locked borns with Texas’ conservative Jesse Jones, it was Hen­ ry who was taken to tbe woodsben. When am bitious U ndersecretary of State Sum ner Welles, of Greton and H arvard, tried to muscle in on the job of Jeffersonian Democrat Cordell Hull, of Tennessee, the Alma M ater and “ old school tie” business was forgotten by Mr.' Rooseveit and Mr. W elles was asked to resign. Let no one be decided th at tbe President has discarded the New Deal or bis New Dealers. Such ac* tions on his p art were politically ex­ pedient a t a tim e when the solid South fed up with the W ashington hitch-hikers on the Democratic don­ key, threatens Mr. Roosevelt’s re­ nomination and re election. Unfor­ tunately Mr. Wallace and Mr. Welles and others of their stripe will return to plague tbe American people if the present Administration is continued in office after next year’s election. Again it becomes clear that Fourth Term strategy is occupying much of the tim e of official W ashington. And behind the Beenes H arry Hopkinsand others of the “ palace guard” con­ tinue to play politics with the war.

T here was tbe case of a farm er trying to buy some chicken wire to fence off a lot in which to keep 1,200 chickens. W hen he come to the question in tbe application about would he be willing to lend the equipm ent which he intended to buy. H e wrote in “ No” . So would we.

Lay D Thompson) T here is a highly interesting pas- age of Scrinture that runs like this: “ Cotne w ith m e and I will do tbee good. ” T his has the tone of a heart petition. I t m ust be one of G od’s prayers. It has in it the pleading quality of a solicitous G od. Ira D. Sanky has touched m any a- heart w ith his loving lines: “ I have a Saviour, H e’s pleading in glory, a dear loving savior, though earth friends be few .” I t really thrills you to know that tbe God who m ade the worlds actually prays for all H is children. Som e are more more w orthy than others, but they are the objects of H is petition. H e prays through conscience and the H oly Bible, through friends and loved ones, through the bitter cold of w inter and the torrid heat of sum m er, through the birds th at sing in the tree tops and the grass that grows at our feet, through the lightning flash and the thunders roar, through goodness and evil, through faith and doubt, through love and hate, through light and darkness, through the joys of heav­ en and the woes of bell. Since God prays then you and I should be concerned trem endously about the ever present question as to w hether we are answering H is prayers. Most of us are always asking ourselves the question, does God care enough for us to answer our prayers. W e soldom think a bout w hether we are answering H is prayers. Listen to tbe urgency, the pleading passioo persistency of one of G od’s prayers for us: “ Come with me and I will do tbee good.” Food BlunderingCaoses Shortage Representative Landis, Republi­ can of Indiana, says in a statem ent issued a t W ashington tb at “ if the boysin the arm ed forces and our civilian population are to be ade­ quately fed this w inter.” tbe Ameri­ can people "m ust insist tb at men be placed in charge of our food produc­ tion and distribuation who knows something about such problems.” Asserting that “ bureaucratic blundering is paying the way for a serious food shortage,” Landis add­ ed: “ Crops are spoiling in the fields and in the warehouse because some bureaucrat who learned about agri­ culture by eating three square meals a day has imposed some impossible regulation somewhere down t h e line.” T h e statem ent w a s released through the Republican Congression­ al Food Study Committee. Landis is chairm an of its subcom mittee on fruits and vegetables. “The canning industry.” tbe Con­ gressman said, “ has lost 30 per cent of the 1943 vegetable pack because of this bungling.” Landis said he had gathered re­ ports trom parts of the United States showing “ trem endous waste of foodstuffs. The statem ent estim ated that ‘ thousands of carloads” of govern­ m ent purchased potatoes have been perm itted to spoil, and gave these as other examples of reported waste: Sacramento, Calif. — "Thousands of tons of pears will go unharvested due to a ceiling price below the cost of production.” San Diego, Calif. — “ Numerous field producing squash and cabbage have been plawed under for like rea­ sons.” Fresno Calif.—"O ne grower was compelled to plow under 400 acres of peas for want of pickers.” The Record only $1.00.

NEW YORK--The worries that clouded the round, good-natured face of Gen. Sir Thomas Albert Blarney last April are fading fast. _ . Hehadnight-Two-WarGeneral Jnares then Now Depreciates from think- Japs as Fighters S i 0I tthe 200,000 Japa­ nese poised on nearby islands for a jump to Australia. Now he ticks off Guadalcanal, Buna and Gona and sundry imminent captures and opines that the Nips are hardly the fighters they were cracked up to be. The general should be a first class judge of fighting men. He has been in two big wars, most­ ly up where the shooting was most prolonged, and is rated a rattling good tactician. He com­ manded the Australians in Greece and his handling of his battalions is one of the few good memories of that desperate and luckless venture. To the pres­ ent generation of Australian sol­ diers Blarney is “Old Tom,” 59 years old and a loyal supporter of our own Gen. Douglas (they- never - invite - him) MacArthur, under whom he has commanded the Allied ground forces in the southwest Pacific for more than a year. When the war started Blarney re­duced his own rank so that he might lead the first division of Aussies in the field. He had been the common­ wealth’s ehief-of-staff. Before that he was in charge of recruiting, and long before that, when the Japs were only a faint distant hiss on the horizon, he was chief of police of the state of Victoria. He married late, at 51, and has a son. In the Virst World war he was mentioned oeven times in dispatches. In that war, as in this one, he led a mixed force of Australians and Americans. With these he helped crack the Hin- denburg line. CINCE “Dogs are people” on theword of Uie club whose doings are told by Darragh Aldrich over a midwestern radio station, General r - H » j “Ike” Eisen-Gen. ‘Ike* Holds Up Captaincy of This Dog of War hower’s Scot- t i e, T e I e k, certainly rates this column. Especially as he has been invited to be the club’s commander- in-chief with the rank of captain. Commander Harry C. Butch­er, naval aide to Eisenhower, has conveyed to Mrs. Aldrich from Africa, Scottie’s thanks and his master’s gratification. But, alas, General Eisenhower decrees that Telek may accept IHiIy a corporal’s rank! He’s been in service only since Octo­ber 14, the general’s birthday. Telek was a year old on June 29, 1943. But before he reached his first birthday he was a proud father. His wife is Commander Butcher's Caacie, pronounced Khaki. It stands for "Canine Auxiliary Air Corps.” Telek and Caacie have a son and a daughter now. Only satisfaction over the way the war goes over­ shadowed the thrill of arrival of theii family, Commander Butcher writes Recently Telek tried to eat a scor­ pion, 'and now his tongue has the outlines of an elm leaf. The gen­ eral was away but Telek knew thal under the circumstances he was en­ titled to the comfort of the general’s bed, and took it. During bombings Telek and Caacie and Uie pups gc under the general’s bed together. “For the general, Telek and Caacie afford opportunity for escape from war,” writes Butcher. More power to them! BraziVs Ooerseas Force Ffeady; War Chief MayLead It D IO DE JANEIRO repeats her as- surance that a Brazilian over­ seas force waits only a call from the United Nations, and if the call comes the odds are that the command­ ing general will be Brazil’s war minister, the serious but hard-riding cavalryman, Enrico Gaspar Dutra. Dutra has been Brazil’s out­ standing commander for almost ten years and a soldier in fact as well- as in heart since he was 16. Be made up his mind then, after reading limitless lives of military heroes from Uie deified Alexander onward. He enlisted, was graduated from the state military academy at 22 and moved up steadily to become a. brigadier general after the Sao Paulo rebellion 11 years ago. Four years later he was appoint­ ed minister of war. His decora­ tions are numerous and include Brazil’s Order of Military Merit. Unlike some good generals he is highly articulate and his lectures in the general staff school and at the military academy in Rio de Janeiro were long remembered. He has written a number of books on mili­ tary matters and knows mechan­ized warfare down to the last gas­ ket and crankcase bolt. He has been a horseman almost from birth, and trained to the saddle as a boy out on the broad, cattle- covered plateau of the Mato Grosso. But he quite easily shifted to mech­ anized cavalry when it crowded the hay burners out of warfare.

A SERIES OF rSPECIAL ARTICLES BYTHELEADiNO MlAR CORftESPONDENTSj Air Cadet By Gen. Henry H. Arnold (fyNU Feature-Through special SttaBgement with Womaa't Ho me Companion Jt- you have not had it happen al­ready, perhaps some day you will be standing on your front porch with a telegram in your hand. As the messenger goes down the steps you will break the seal and read: “Selected for pilot training so keep em flying. Jack.” ,Pilot training? Flying? Why did the army air forces select your son? Will he succeed? A host of thoughts race through your mind and perhaps with them is some anxiety. The anxiety yon may feel is large­ ly groundless. You may judge for yourself as I tell you about the things being done in the army air forces to keep your son safe. But I am not seeking merely to reassure you. I want to make it possible for yon to help Jack enormously, wheth­ er he is a bombardier, pilot, navi­ gator, aerial gunner or a member of the ground crews. Above all, your son Jack doesn’t In the least feel that he is being picked on. He is proud and wants you to share his pride. Before he could send you that telegram he had to pass more physical, mental and aptitude tests than most mothers even dreamed existed. Superior Young Man. As a consequence the army be­ lieves that your son’s chances of flying through this war and of com­ ing home to tell about it, are tops. The army, in fact, has taken infinite pains to establish something that you, as his mother, have known from the beginning: Jack is a su­ perior young man. He and his classmates in our avi­ ation personnel training program are the best flier material in the world. And ninety-five of every hun­ dred of them are going through their long and arduous flight training pro­ gram without so much as a sprained ankle or a barked shin. Moreover, the flight control com­ mand of the army air forpes is work­ ing day and night to guard your son’s safety. The command is head­ed by an officer who is a “bug” on safety—Col. Sam Harris, who was for ten years a test pilot at Wright Field. Our military aircraft have been built to be the safest in the world. I have refused to consider planes that might gain a few hundred feet of altitude or a little extra speed at a sacrifice of safety. Our prin­ ciple is: Maximum protection for the air crews. Combat Safety L Goal. Combat safety is our ultimate goal; to attain it is not only a prob­ lem of the technical and tactical training your son receives but also a matter of attitudes. Here are some ways in which you can help: 1. Keep your balance. Don’t pro­ ject your son Jack and yourself into every newspaper account of an acci­ dent. You have read again and again of highway wrecks without rushing to put your automobile into dead storage. 2. Help Jack keep faith In his equipment. No inferior airplane can possibly be adopted by the army air forces; too much depends on the plane. If you hear anything differ­ ent, challenge the person who makes •the statement. 3. Avoid asking Jack to describe any “flying feats” he has per­ formed. Spectacular feats have no place in routine training. 4. If family problems arise at home, keep your son’s mind clear of them. He is absorbed in'the big­ gest job of his life. Anything that tends to interfere with concentration on his task now will vitally affect his welfare in the near future. 5. Your son in the army air forces is one of the pivotal figures of this war. In him is concentrated respon­ sibility not only for his own safety and the safety of his crew but.also for a piece of equipment that repre­ sents the labor of thousands. His is the responsibility for the failure or success of missions on which the lives of other thousands may de­ pend. Help him to carry those re­ sponsibilities and you will be help­ ing him in the best way I know. You will be proud of him; he will be proud of you; and your country will be indebted to you both. Enemy agents spread wild rumors in the effort to break down confi­ dence in American training and equipment. Perhaps somebody has told you that the accident rate in training is so high that newspapers have been ordered to print stories about only a small percentage of the mishaps. This is utterly false. Check with some personal acquaint­ ance at the nearest army airport. Ask him if he can recall seeing a single accident which was not pub­ lished. No accident news is sup pressed.

INGRID BERGM AN’S su­ perb performance in “For Whom Uie Bell Tolls” is one of those things Uiat people re­ inember for ' years. It’s the more notable because in that opus she was up against real­ ly tough competition.- Katina Paxinou, the talented Greek actress who plays "P ilar,” can dominate any scene without half trying, and the list of m ale actors reads like an all-star cast. Incidentally, after 100 perform ances the picture w as still selling out at dll performances in INGRID BERGMAN New York; that m eant that for eight solid weeks the public had been trooping to the theater to see just that picture—no news reel, no com­ edy, no other attraction. — *—Mentioning Ingrid Bergm an re­ minds m e that in "Gaslight,” which she is making with Charles Boyer— who plays a m ost villainous villain —you'll see Tarquin Olivier, son of Laurence Olivier and Jill Esmond, the clever and attractive actress who was his wife before he m arried Vivian Leigh. Young Tarquin is only five, so he’s starting his career fair­ ly early.— *— It’s a nice break that Gail Russell, new in films, gets. She’s making "Our Hearts Were Yoimg and Gay,” playing one of the principal roles, and Param ount has given her a new term contract and the starring part in "H er H eart in Her Throat,” scheduled first for Loretta Young. Looks as if Loretta liked her role in "And Now Tomorrow” better. "H er H eart in Her Throat” is a m ystery. — *— A curious soft slapping sound heard occasionally during rehearsals of Morton Downey’s afternoon raigo program , usually just after he had finished a song, has finally been eliminated. Radio engineers, check­ ing on the origin of Sie sound, dis­ covered that it w as caused by Downey’s thumbing his bright red suspenders. He began doing it after he w as warned not to jingle coins while he was singing. Now he wears a belt in the studio, and empties his pockets before he steps up to a microphone.— *— It’s no wonder that producers get jittery. Michael O’Shea w as riding a motor scooter, crashed into a stage wall—and landal in a hospital, with severe bruises, to put it mildly. That held up shooting on United Artists’ "Jack London,” as he was to ap­ pear In every remaining scene. -SS- Joseph Cotten, narrator and act­ ing -star of "America—Ceiling Un­ limited,” and greatly in dem and in Hollywood, is billed as the Great Joseph, “ The Wizard of the South,” in Orson Welles’ M ercury Wonder show; it’s done nightly under can­ vas, in Hollywood, for the edifica­ tion of service m en; they’re enter­ tained — and highly — by feats of m agic, and ail for nothing! It was a thrill for Dinah Shore re­ cently when her new picture, “Thank Your Lucky Stars,” was sneak- previewed at WSM’s Air Castle stu­ dio in Nashville, Venn., where Dinah started her singing career.

Our Daily Bread(See Recipes Below) Good Breads **I want to know how to make good bread,’’- is a desire expressed often by readers who write in and tell m e their prob­ lem-=. Some feel making bread is a m atter of good luck, while others are certain that if they just had a good recipe, they could make good bread. Bread, good bread, is one of the easiest of all baked goods to make. The yeast bread takes longer for the process to be completed, but there Is nothing hard about any of the steps. Bear in mind these essen­ tials when baking bread with yeast: 1. Liquids used m ay be water, milk, diluted evaporated milk, pota­ to w ater or a m ixture of any of these. When using milk, scald and cool to lukewarm. 2. Y east m ay be compressed, granular or dry. 3. Sugar is used to help yeast m ake leavening gas. Salt controls fermentation, gives flavor. 4. Add all flour necessary a t the tim e of mixing, to keep dough from sticking, and to avoid dark streaks In bread. 5. Dough is kneaded until smooth and satiny. Curve the fingers over dough and push into it with the palm s of the hands. The first knead­ ing is longest—8 to 10 m inutes re­ quired, never less than 5. After the, dough is punched down the second tim e, only 2 minutes’ kneading is necessary. 6. After the dough is kneaded, it is placed in a greased bowl. Turn the dough over in bowl to grease it entirely and prevent a hard crust from forming. Cover dough with a cloth or waxed paper while rising. Tem perature at which dough rises should be 82 degrees.7. When punching dough down, punch hands into the center of the dough. 8. When dough has been punched down the second tim e and risen un­ til double in bulk, and the dough re­ tains dents when pressed lightly, it is ready for mold­ ing. Knead down ,n y, ~ and divide in por- f i f i * tions for loaves. Cover and let rest 10 to 15 minutes. To mold dough, flatten into a ball, fold lengthwise, and stretch three tim es the length of the pan. Over­ lap ends at center and fold length­ wise; flatten again, fold in thirds; seal edge; roll lightly and place in greased pan, fold down. White Bread. (Makes 4 1-pound loaves)Vi cup sugar 2 tablespoons shortening 4 teaspoons salt 4 caps Iiquid, scalded I cake yeast H cup lukewarm w ater 12 to 14 cups flour Combine sugar, shortening, salt and liquid in a large mixing bowl. Lynn Says: Homemade Breads; Wash the bread box out thoroughly so the bread wfll stay fresh and moist longer. Every week, the box should have a soapy sudsing, and thorough drying out in the sun­ shine. Bread sometimes becomes stringy, if a certain germ is al­ lowed to become imbedded in the box through lack of cleanliness. Have freshly baked rolls often, by making a batch of refrigera­ tor dough to have on hand. Then m ake a VarieQr of rolls from it to add interest to the menu—cara­ m el rolls, cinnamon twists, poppy­ seed roUs, orange-filled rolls, etc. If homemade bread tends to get that day-old flavor, freshen the loaves by sprinkling a little wa­ ter in a brown bag, placing loaf of bread in it, and into the oven for several minutes. Lynn Chambers’ Point-Saving Menus Grapefruit Juice Veal Cutlets in Sour Cream Lim a Beans Baked Potato Lettuce Salad "Refrigerator Rolls Grapes in Gelatine Beverage "Recipe Given I Cool to lukewarm, then add yeast, softened in lukewarm water. Add 4 cups of flour and beat thoroughly. Add remaining flour and mix gradu­ ally to a dough that won’t stick to hands or bowl. Knead lightly on a floured board 8 to 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover closely, and let rise until double in bulk (2 to Vh hours). Punch down and knead 2 minutes. Let rise again until dou­ ble in bulk. Knead down. Divide into 4 portions for loaves. Cover and let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Mold in loaves. Place in greased pans. Cov­ er closely and let set in a warm place until doubled in bulk and a light touch leaves a dent. Bake in a moderately hot (400 to 425-degrees) oven 40 to 45 minutes. Bread is done when it shrinks from the pan and sounds hollow when tapped with finger. Remove loaves from pans immediately and cool on rack. For a crisp crust, neither grease nor cover loaveswhen cooling. For a soft crust, brush top of loaves with fat or salad oil after removing from oven. "Refrigerator Rolls. (Makes 3 dozen medium-sized roils)I cup milk, scalded 1 cup hot mashed potatoH cup shortening H cup sugar 2 teaspoons salt 1 cake yeastVt cup lukewarm water 2 beaten eggs 5 to 6 cups flour Combine milk, potato, shortening, sugar and salt in large mixing bowl. Add yeast softened in water and eggs. Add IVt cups flour and beat well. Cover and let stand in a warm place for I hour, or until full of bubbles. Stir in ZVt to 4% cups of flour to make a fairly stiff dough. Knead until smooth on a lightly floured surface. Return to greased mixing bowl. Grease top of dough. Cover and chill in refrigerator. About 1% hours before serving time, shape desired number of rolls. Place in greased pans; let rise I hour. Bake in a hot oven (425 degrees) 15 to 20 minutes. Punch down un­ used dough and return to refrigera. tor. You don’t have time to make yeast rolls or bread? Then you will enjoy a love­ ly quick bread w ith a cherry- bran combination that is tops: All-Bran Cherry Bread.

One of the two m et m e one day and suggested, that I go with him as his friend Bill did not seem to be as interested as for­ merly. “When I call at Bill’s house now he is sound asleep and when I return to show him m y catch three hours later, he is still asleep. His family tells m e he sleeps m ost of the time also.” Bill used to be a wideawake fel­ low. W hat was causing Bill to be sleepy all the time? The cause was infected teeth, but this was not dis­ covered until it was too late to save his life. What are the symptoms of infec­ tion from teeth, tonsils, sinuses, gall bladder, large intestine, or other part of the body? “Tiredness, espe­ cially noted in the morning after a night’s sleep which seems neither refreshing nor sufficient is a com­ mon symptom of focal infection. (Focal infection is where infection occurs a t one focus or spot in the body and the poisons or wastes are carried from it by the blood to an­ other spot. Thus the poison from an infected throat can go to a joint and set up an arthritis.) “Apathy, lack of ambition, inabil­ ity to concentrate and a dislike for m ental work so that the patient must ‘drive him self to get anything done are often complained of. Dizziness, loss of appetite, tem porary blurring of vision or blindness m ay be noted.” The above description of focal in­ fection is given by Dr. M. Solis- Cohen in Medical World. It is worth while for all of us to study these symptoms of focal infection. The Grst thought might naturally be to take Epsom salts or other purgative to rid the large intestine and the blood of these poisons. This treat­ m ent would give relief where the cause is eating too much or exer­ cising too little, as accumulated wastes from food can give symp­ toms of fatigue. But, where this tired, sleepy, “don’t care” feeling is present all or- m ost of the time, you should consult your physician and dentist.• • • Vision Improved by Vitamins A and B It is interesting and very gratify­ ing to learn that not only can many cases of color blindness be correct­ ed but other disturbances of vision also, by Siqnply improving the diet, Especially by the use of foods con­ taining vitamin A and vitamin B somplex. In the “Medical Clinics of North America,” Dr. Arthur M. Yudkin1 states: “Considerable effort- has been made to improve the eyesight (es­ pecially night blindness) of some aviators, sailors, drivers, and others by giving them large quantities of vitamin A. Some of these persons improved only after a well balanced diet and an extra supply of vitamin A and vitamin B complex were giv­ en. Some of these persons also had difficulty in passing the. color tests as prescribed by the army and navy. After the daily use of fish oil con­centrates (20,000 units of vitamin A), a powerful vitamin B complex (two tablespoons of powerful yeast pow­ der or an equivalent concentrate; and a well-balanced diet, the color vision, and the iiight blindness of many of these persons improved.” Other diseases which affect the lin­ ing of the eyelids and the outer sur­ face of the eyeball are also cured or helped by the use of vitamin A and vitamin B complex. However, Dr. Yudkin does not sug­ gest that treatment for these eye conditions should be by vitamins alone, but that a search should be made for the cause of these eye dis­ turbances in these persons. Thus diseases of the stomach, liver and intestine may be preventing the body malting full use of food eaten, includ­ ing the vitamins. Only careful ques­ tioning by the physician may bring out that disturbances of the digestive system are present. The thought, then is that our eye specialists, because the tissues'of the eyes are affected as can other tissues by lack of vitamins or othei valuable foodstuffs, are able to noti­ fy the family physician of their find­ ings. The eye disturbance can then be corrected by a suitable diet and removal of digestive disturbances.• * * ■ QUESTION BOX - Q.—Will boiled flaxseed in water taken three times a day cure dia­betes?

You say to yourself that for those ten days you will be an all-out civil­ian, you will squander your sub­ stance in rioutous living, you will forget altogether the fact that you are a soldier. And then what hap­ pens? You wake up at six o’clock, no matter how late you stay out the night before. Then you can’t go back to sleep. You have to buy enor­ mous quantities of civilian food to keep up with your Army appetite. You look in shop windows and see books you’d give your wisdom teeth for, but you think of your purse in terms of $36 a month and the inner man convinces you that you can’t afford them. You’d like very much to put on your civilian clothes, just for a change, but your friends think you look so pretty in your uniform that they won’t let you pull the old blue serge out of mothballs. It isn’t bad all the way through, though. For instance, I walked out of the hotel the other day and ran into one of the boys from my own bar­ racks, in New York on a three-day pass. We exchanged the prescribed comments on the smallness of the world and I saw a sparkling oppor­ tunity to spread a thick layer of hokum. I coidd make the lad think I was one of these filthy-rich pri- You wake up at 6 o’clock no mat­ ter how late you went to bed.

Then I added, quite casu­ ally, “I’m stopping here at the Astor.” His eyes popped faintly, but a good soldier never passes up a free meal. We went back into the hotel and into the terrifyingly smart din­ing room. I smiled condescendingly at the headwaiter, to make him think I was a cash customer at the hotel, and he led us to a table. "I’m afraid you’ll find the food here depressingly ‘dull,’ I told my comrade-in-arms. “No ortolans or hummingbird tongues. They seem to go in for plain but wholesome foods. Won’t you try the breast of guinea hen, with a sip of Onion Soup Reine?” “I don’t care if I do,” he said. “I ain’t particularly particular about what I eat.” “My nerves are all shot,” I re­ marked airily. “New York tires me dreadfully. I have to run about nolens volens—that’s Latin for willy- nilly—from one night club to an­ other, brushing up on old friend­ ships. And I’m getting so tired of shows and cocktail parties! Won’t you have a slug of hootch with me? I’ve got to have one.” He gulped nervously and replied that he didn’t care if he did. I no­ ticed with satisfaction that he was taking in all the propaganda about night clubs, shows, and cocktail par­ ties. “I’m a man of simple tastes my- eelf,” I said, lifting both eyebrows to give my.face that bored expres­ sion. “I can’t stand these silly mixed drinks. I like my liquor straight. I’m partial to Scotch.” “I’m a rye man myself,” he said. The waiter, who had been standing by with a growingly disgusted face, shrugged his .shoulders and fetched two tiny flagons of the Old Enemy. His face sank a little at the sight, but I manged to keep up a sophisti­ cated front. I took a sip of soda and lifted the glass. “Well,-here’s look­ ing at you and going down me.” “Corn on the corn,” he said, winc­ ing at the toast. I downed the yel­ low poison and so did he. I bungled tho job, though, and had to use two gulps.. Ooooh! I shuddered vio­ lently, but he didn’t see. He had turned his face and was coughing with real fervor. We managed to get through the meal all right, weakened though we were by the firewater. I continued to impress him. The only obstacle I hit was his reminder that I would be spending Thanksgiving on kitchen police. We parted when I told him I couldn’t get out of a reception I had to attend at 2:30. I had suffi­ciently impressed him and, with the aid of Providence, I might be able to borrow money from- him occa­sionally back at Fort Bragg. The meal cost me nothing, but the fifty-cent tip was staggering. If worst should come to worst, I could always hock my watch. If I had a watch. Thanksgiving Day—with all its roast Vermont turkey, its pies and fruits, its candies, and free ciga­ rettes—was just another day to me. Phooey to it. Our mess sergeant, one Orville D. Pope, was disgustingly cheerful when he awoke me in the morning. “Please go away,” I said. “Just go away and let me gently curse/ “Oh, Private Hargrove,” he crowed, “we have so much to be thankful for. So very, very much! We have food, and warmth, and freedom!" / “Food, we’ve got,” I growled. “In­ cluding potatoes, with peelings to peel. This is my 678th potato this morning. I don’t need coal for warmth when I’m bathing myself in sweat. And freedom? See, I am laughing bitterly! It is Thanksgiv­ ing Day and I am peeling pota­ toes and washing dishes for the orgy. Phooey to Thanksgiving!” Sollie Buchman, the cook, who was a student with me in Battery A, strode up humming that maudlin old grammar-school song about ’over the river and through the woods, to grandfather’s house we go.” “It is a glorious day,” drooled Pri­ vate Buchman. “It does my old heart good to think of the expression on those boys’ faces when they see that Thanksgiving dinner.” ‘Repress yourself, Pappy,” I asked him. “It is not to think of the dinner. I .am thinking of the sinks overflowing with dirty dishes left by those gluttonous hogs. It was not enough that we had trays to wash. Now we have to have improvements. Now we have to have china plates. And cups. And soup bowls. And silverware. I hate progress!” ‘Better leave the lad alone j Pap- py,” sighed Sergeant Pope. “He is pouting and will not enter into the spirit of the day. He has done wrong and is paying for it now.” Private Buchman and the mess sergeant busied themselves at the ovens. I sat there ferociously jab­ bing at potatoes and muttering wildly. Three times I scowled at the sergeant, but he wasn’t looking. Maury Sher, my bosom compan­ ion from the cooks’ battery, came racing in through the back door. Maury was slated to be transferred to a cook's job at Madison Barracks, New York, and would be leaving the following day. “If you liave come to extend the season’s greetings, comrade,” I told him wearily, “kindly do not trouble yourself. To paraphrase Dickens, any fool who goes about with ‘Happy Thanksgiving’ on his lips should be boiled in his own slumgullion and buried with a GI breadstick in his heart. Do not attempt to cheer me.” “I’m not going to Madison Bar­ racks,” he shouted. “I’m staying here. Right here in -the Replace­ ment Center! I’m going to be a mess' sergeant in the antitank battery. A mess sergeant!” I was dawdling over a huge choco­ late nut sundae the other night at the Service Club cafeteria when John­ ny Lisk walked in with someone who was a dead ringer for Simmons Jones of the Charlotte News staff. Anyone who is a dead ringer for Simmons Jones can’t be anybody but Simmons Jones, I decided, so I gave the low whistle. The two saw me and came over.It was Simmons, all right. He looked as if the two tilings he needed most at the moment were a haircut and a kind word of sympathy. He had the look of utter futility known only to those who have been in the Army for less than ten days. “Well, boy,” I asked him, “how do you like the Army? And you don’t need to lie about it.” “I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it,” he said. “I’ve been pushed and crowded and yelled at for a week now, and it doesn’t get any better. Maybe I was just bom to be a civilian.” “You should have'seen Johnny and me when we got in,” I told bim. "That’s been only four months ago, and here we are being condescend­ ing and fatherly already. Them were the days, weren’t they, John­ ny?”Lisk sighed deeply. "Simmons don’t know the trouble at all,” he said. “When Hargrove and I had been in three or four days, they slapped us on KP and almost killed us first thing. Then, the next day, they put the two of us to cleaning and painting GI cans until past sup­ per time.” Simmons knocked on wood. “Well, they must have forgotten me. Pve been in the Army a week already and I haven’t been on KP yet.” “You will, brother,” said Johnny. “You wtil.” “Hargrove,” said Simmons, “wffi you please stop looking at my hair? I can’t go ten feet without being reminded to get a haircut. As soon as I can find a minute, I’ll get it cut.” “Are you really having a hard time of it?” I asked him. “WeD, after that talk I got from you before I was inducted, I thought I would be going through hell for the first three weeks. The way ybu talked was terrifying, to say the least. So I prepared myself for a much rougher time than I’m really getting. “The drilling isn’t bad at an. suppose my dancing has helped me there. Anyway, I even surprise my­ self at it. “But the getting up and dressing in ten minutes! I’ll never be able to do it. Everything is aU right until it comes to the leggins. I struggle with those things until I’m limp, and I never do get -them on in time. Yesterday I just tied them on for reveiUe and sneaked back and “I can’t go ten feet without being reminded to get a haircut,” he said. put them on properly later. I’ve tried every -way possible, but I just can’t get anywhere with them.” ‘How are the fellows?” I asked him. “Nice bunch of boys?” ‘I was surprised at them,” he said. “People I’ve never seen be­fore, and they all go out of their way to help each other. When we were first inducted, there were a lot of fellows l’d seen possibly once or twice before in my life and we all acted as if we’d known each other since we were babies.” “Then, too, I’ve already run across some of the boys I know. Johnny here is attached to our bat­ tery for rations and quarters, and so is Buster Chamley. They do as much as they can to show me the ropes and help me along during this awkward period.” Reading through the camp news­ paper the other day, I noticed sto­ ries written by Pvt. T. Mulvehill, Private Thos. Mulvehillep Pfc. Tom Mulvehill, Thomas Mulvehill (pfc.) and various other authors whose names bore startling resemblance to Thomas Mulvehill, Pvt. or Pfc. . The collection of literary and journalistic contributions to the Fort Bragg Post were all marked by the same flair for rhetoric, the true gift of gab, and a certain rich and gor­ geous sentimentality. In the midst of a factual story about a group of college girl choristers coming to Fort Bragg for a concert, the steady journalistic strain would suddenly burst into brilliant and majestic phrases such as “The Blankth Bat­ talion recreation hall will burst into golden sound next Tuesday night when the angelic voices of thirty lovely Zilch ’ College young ladies present a recital . . .’’ or “the Gen­ eral’s little eight-year-old son, awed by the solemnity of the occasion, clung to his daddy’s hand through­ out tiie impressive ceremonies.” This is what is known as the Mul vehill Touch. The MulvehiR Touch is supplied at Fort Bragg by the PubUc Relations Office’s irrepressible and inimit­ able whirling dervish, Black Tom MulvehiU, a fantastic and unbetiev- able Irish tyro, who came from New York City by way of Salt Lake City, Utah. MulvehiU of the great head and the shaggy locks, Mulvehill of the lumbering walk, the man of a thousand faces and a thousand voices—MulvehiU is the PubUc Re­ lations Office’s one spark of true glamour, our hope of immortality. MulvehiU is everywhere at aU times. Out of every hundred photo­ graphs taken at Fort Bragg—offi­cial qr personal, professional or am­ ateur—it is safe to say that the flexible face of Private Mulvehill will, beam out at you from ninety- five of them. Photographers have no idea of how he gets into the pictures, but a picture of any “Rec” hall in the Center wiU show Mulve­ hiU playing ping-pong. (He’s the one nearest the camera.) MulvehiU’s next greatest talent is his ability to create wildness and confusion at wiU. His desk drawers bulge and spiU great quantities of unrelated papers, old notes, news­ paper clippings, and weird personal effects. His working schedule and methods are chaotic and unfathom­ able. He can write six stories a! once, using every needed typewriter in the building. (TO B S CONTINUED* IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY IcHooL Lesson By HABOLD L. LTJNDQUIST. D.

JESUS AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS LESSON T E X T -M atthew 5:17-20; 19:1«. 22; John 5:39. 40. GOLDEN T E X T -T hink not that I am com e to destroy the law , or the prophets: I am not com e to destroy, but to fulfill.— M atthew 5:17. With this lesson we begin a series of studies which should be of unusual value, a consideration of the Ten Commandments in the light of the teachings of Jesus, and other relat­ ed New Testament passages. It is appropriate to point out that, far from being outmoded, the Ten Commandments are really the basis of aU moral law. They need a dili- gent restudy and re-emphasis in our day of disregard of moral standards. As interpreted by the Lord Jesus and applied to our daily Uving, the truth of these commandments should be brought home to every boy and girl, man and woman in our Bible schools. We learn here that our Lord did not come to set aside or destroy the law, but to fulfill it in the most complete way. But the gospel takes us a step beyond the law, and it is a great step, for we foUow the One who is greater than the law. I. BuUt on the Law (Matt. 5:17- 20). The law of God is eternal, never to be abrogated, never set aside. Christ Himself, although we might properly say that He was in reality the Lawgiver and thus had power and authority over the law, indicat­ ed His purpose in coming to be that of giving the law its fuU meaning, not of destroying it. One could wish that those who profess to be His servants might have the same meas­ ure of regard for God’s law. If they did, they obviously would not be so ready to ignore it, so quick to change it or explain it away, and far more ready to accept with their Master every “jot and tittle,” that is, even the minutest detail of His Word. Recognizing Christ as the fulfill- ment of the law should prepare one to manifest obedience to every mor­ al precept through His grace. H. More Than the Law (Matt. 19:16-22). Obedience to the commandments brings a man up to the very en­ trance upon life, but to enter in, he must have more than the “things” of the law; he lnust have the Per­ son who is “the Door” to eternal life. The young man who came to Christ was rich. His mind was ob­ sessed with things. He had made it his business to observe the law, and had done weU (v. 20), but his soul was not satisfied. He thought one more “thing” to do would accom­plish his purpose. The general attitude of the man was commendable. He sensed his lack of the vital something which would remake his life. He came to the right one—the Lord Jesus—with his question. His failure to go beyond the things of the law to a faith in Christ, how­ ever, showed that he loved his pos­sessions more than he desired to foUow the Lord. Those in‘our day who are trying to please God and gain eternal bless­ edness by works, by doing things and keeping commandments, need to recognize that in Christianify we have the One who is more than die law. They need to look away from things to be done, to the great thing that was done once and for aU on Calvary. m . Greater Than the Law (John 5:39, 40). The Scriptures are great because they bear witness to tiie Christ who can give life. But obviously the One to whom they bear witness is great­er than they are. Paul speaks of the law as a 'schoolmaster to bring us to Christ” (Gal. 3:24). The picture .is liter­ ally of a servant charged with bring­ ing the chfld to school where he may learn the truth. So the law con­ victs man of sin, makes him con­ scious of his own utter inabiUfy to meet God’s requirements, and makes him ready to turn to Christ in faith and repentance (Rom. 3:20). These men of our Lord’s time were very religious. They.spent much of their time searching the Scriptures that they might find eter­ nal life. But most of them faUed to understand that the life they sought was in the One who stood before them—Jesus of Nazareth—and not in the letter of the law. This has a vital bearing on the proper study of the lessons of this quarter. “The time has passed when men might seek life in the Scriptures apart from Jesus. Now that Jesus has come, life can be found only if the Scriptures lead one to Jesus. If our study of the Scriptures does not bring us to Christ, then it is vain indeed. For that reason we cannot study the Ten Command­ ments without turning constantly to Jesus as the One greater than the law” (Lesson Commentary).

These sands produce the most- unusual sound effects, ranging from the rumble of dntms to the high- pitched twanging of harp strings. Sounds are produced over the mu­ sical dunes by the movement of sand grains in the wind. Only sand grains of a certain size, shape, and uniformity will produce these interesting sounds.
