The Level Of Sin Rev. Walter E. Iaenhonr. Hiddenite. N. C. “Thou hast fallen by thine ini quity,”—Hosea 14:1. This text can be applied to all sinful men. Indeed they have fall en by their iniquity. Sin has them down. They are living on a low level in life, as there are no high altitudes and lofty peaks in sin and wickedness, and in the service of their the devil. Sin never lifts one up, but al ways leads and pulls down. Its nature is downward, downward, ever downward. There is nothing about sin, iniquity, wickedness to uplift. It is a heavy weight upon the mind, the heart, the soul, the spirit, the life. We know that some people are weighted down far more heavily by evil and sin than others, and have the best principles traits and characteristics of their lives crushed into fragments; nev ertheless everyone who liees in sin is on a low level, and going still lowei all the time. Men do not stand still in sin. They continu ally move, and the movement is downward—downward to deeper depths, to more hopeless conse quences, away and still further a. wav from God and heaven. O the dreadfulness of sin! It wrecked Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, and made their first born son. whose name was Cain, a murderer. He lawlessly rose up and took the life of his own brother Abel. And across the long centuries of time Cain has had a tremendous following. He set the first example of murder, and as a consequence countless millions have been murderers, and have murder ed tbeir millions. How powerful and far-reaching is example! One never knows how much harm he may be doing by setting the wrong example before his children and his fellowmen. It may teach across centuries of time and curse mill ions of lives and souls. Sin wrecked the aute-diluvian world except the eight souls that went into toe ark. Perhaps there were many millions of people who wera destroyed by the flood. They were wicked, wicked. And onr Lord said that the world would be in the same condition at His com ing again. Surely His return draws nigh Never has there been so much wickedness upon the earth, it seems to me, as there is today, except in the time of Noah. Drun kenness, hatred, crime, adultly, lust,greed, theft, dtshonestn, world liness, pride, murder, manslaughter svicide, falsehood, Moodshep. war fare, death, destruction and dam. nation rages throughout the earth. It is all because the masses of men are living on a low Ievil with the devil. They have yielded them selves unto all kinds of sin and wickedness. We are told that “one sinner destroyeth much good ” Then what about millions and mil lions ot sinners that are cursing the world? Is it any wonder that we are in a deplorable condition as a world? To live in sin and the service of the devil means that one is living on a low Ievil in life. How can r.nyone afford to so live? It should be too low for any man, any worn an. any person, who has reasonable sense and a mind capable of think ing clearly. One’s life is wasted when be only lives for the devil. His precious time and golden' op portunities are gone, never to re turn, and the result is remorse of heart and soul forever. What few fleeting moments of pleasure one gets in sin cannot eom. pare with the damnation that awaits him when he leaves this world All who live in sin for the momentary pleasures they get certainly are pay. ing for them at a very dear price, They pay dearly here in wrecked Global Boondoggling For many months, Americans be lieved that, In spite of the misman agement on the home front, the New Deal was omniscient In for eign fields. Then came the follow. Ing reports: Henry T. Taylor came home.from a world tour to write "Men In Mo tion,” a book that shows dearly that American money, materials and civilian manpower is being wasted on a more grandiose scale a- broad than at home. Five Senators—three Democrats and two Repnblicans — returned from a globe-circling tour to make the same reoort, citing a new bill of particulars that should make every American blush. Senator Butler CR ) of Nebraska, returned trom an extensive tour of South America, with documented reports of waste bv our Govern ment and the creation of a giant WPA project to the South. Simultaneously, the President himself proved that there will be no change as long as he is boss. He sent the notorious New Deal spend thrift, Charles B. Baldwin, former head of the Farm Security Admin istration, who helped waste almost a billion dollars at home, as Eco nomic Co-ordinator to Italy. Mt. Batdwin is remembered as the man who said he saw nothing wrong with the Federal Government Ieud ing money to farmers to pay poll taxes, although this was a viola tion ot state and Federal laws. Next, the president appointed Profesfor James M. Pandis, form erly bead of the Office of Civilian Defense, to head an economic mis sion in the Near East, although Mr. Roosevelt knew—and knows— that Dean Landis has been profli gate with taxpayers’ money. As head of the OCD1 he spent more money than Congresss appropriated to him, and then blandly told Sena tors that he had been able to do it simply by “oorrowing” from the President’s “vest pocket” funds. To cap it all, the President ap. pointed Charles “Pardon Me” Pol- letti, who, during a short period In which he was acting Governor of New York, pardoned several no torious labor leaders, to a high po sition with the occupying forces in Italy. The American taxpayers can sympathize with the Italians. We must save private enterprise, Vice-President Wallace declaims. New Deal should do it. Protective custody. Hitler called it when he took over bis neighbors. health, shortened life, a guilty con science, bitter regrets, physical, mental and moral suffering, to say nothing of the eternal “weeping and gnashing of teeth.” No man on earth can afford to give his life to the devil. It is too precious, Opportunities are too priceless to be neglected, or squandered in sin. Tbe soul is too important, precious and valuable to let the devil have charge of it. As we travel life’s pathway we see the vast multitudes plodding and trudging down grade. They are so many slaves ' of the devil He has them bound by every babit almost imaginable, and vet he is seeking to discover and invent more that he may catch every soul pos sible. Only the restraining power of God hinders him. And only our faith in God, with our lives and souls yielded to Aim, saves any of us from the devil and the low level of s;n. His Master’s Body R. C. Lawrence, in The State. The Scene: A quaint North Ca rolina court room many years ago. The Judge: Charles M. Cooke, of Franklin; ex-Captain of Confed erate infantry; former Congressman and Secretary of State. The case: An aged Negro, on trial for assanlt with deadly weapon. The trial droned on, the Solicitor cross-examining the defendant; His Honor sitting with closed eyes, ap parentlv asleep. But when tbeSo licitor's examination was ended, the Judge came to life and proceeded himself to examine the defendant: Q. You a slave? A. Yesslr, marse Judge. Q Who your old marster? A. Robert Timberlake. Q. Who your young marstei? A. His son William. Q. Where’s your young mars ter now? A. He’s daid; killed in de war. Q. Where? A. At er place dey call Spotts lyvania, in Virginny. Q. Where’s he buried? A At de ole home place. Q. How’d his body get there from Virginia? A I fotch it home, tied on the back of a hoss. Old fflistls she told me to bring young marster home if anything, happen to him. Sowhen he wnz killed, I tied bis body on ne hoss and I led the hoss and we struck out fer home. We traveled night and day and we got mighty tired and hongry too, me and de boss. Bnt we brung him home. Q. Wbat old marster say when you got home? A. Day seed us a coming and met me in de yard. Old mistls she cry and cry. But old marster he say nothing. He just straighten hisself up and raise his hand to his bead, Iak de officers used to do in de army. His Honor gazed through the 0- pen window at the distant hills. Memories crowded in upon - him. He was no longer Cbas. M Cooke, Judge, but Cbas. M. Cooke, Cap tain of Confederate infantry, going to battle in behalf of a t iend. He cleared his throat and proceeded to charge the jury: “This court was at the battle of Spottsylvania Court House in Vir ginia. In my regiment there was a young Lieutenant. William Tim berlake, and no braver man ever lived During the' beavv -fighting there, onr thin lines were charged by tbe enemy in overwhelming force, and many of our men, in cluding Lieutenant William Tim berlake, were killed. We were compelled to retieat, but the next day there was a truce for burying the dead, and I sought to find the body of Lieutenant Timberlake to give it burial. When I reached the spot where be was killed, I found a young Negro man, his body ser vant,' in the act of tying the body of the Lieutenant on tbe back of a horse. He told me that his old mistress had instrncted him to bring the Lieutenant home if any. thing should happen to him. I know that be left, leading tbe horse with his young master’s body tied to it, he- ded in the direction of North Carolina. That young Ne gro man, gentlemen, was the de fendant now on trial by you. He has grown old now, and so has the court. It is for you to say whetb er he is guilty. Retire to your room and make up your verdict.” But the jury did not refire. Hand kerchiefs came out, eyes were wip ed. Thfe jury whispered together, and the foreman rose. • 'NOT GUILTY!’ ’ said the fore man. Charles M.

LeLapp. of Lexington, state chairman of tbe Republican executive committee last week is sued tbe following jubilant comment on the results of elections held in New York. New. Jersey, Kentucky. Philadelphia and elsewhere: “The overwhelming Ropublican mrjorities resulting in the election of Lieutenant-Governor Hanley in New York State and of Walser E. Edge, as governor of New Jersey can have only one meaning — the American people have finally decided that they cannot endure four more years of Frankling D. Roosevelt and his New Deal administration Even the Sontbern State of Kentucky resulted in a neck-and-neck race between the Republican and Democratic candi dates for governor. “Tbe good year 1944 will see the election of a Republican President, dedicated to tbe important task of storing peace between all classes for the commnn good of all here in A- ocerics and of bringing a victorious and permanent peace to tbe suffer ing people of tbe world.

KEEP ON ******* * WITH WAR BONDS * Why Was It Censored? A former resident 0 f Milan, Minn., now lives in Madagascarand receives tbe home town weekly newspaper, "The Standard.” Ina recent letter to relatives this sub scriber mentioned that the first editorial in a certain issue was “en tirely cut out by the censor.” Interested in seeing wbat it was he bad written that did not get by the censor, the editor, Andrew Bromstad, referred to bis files. This is wbat tbe censor decided should be eliminated: WE MUST BE ON GUARD Are we ready to scrap our pre sent economic system known as capitalism? In America where it has been given tbe widest possible chance of development, it is admit ted that the common ordinary man enjoys mote comforts of life than any person in tbe same station of life in any others country on earth. We are now at war to defend the freedoms that we enjoy under this system. But even now in our own government there are forces at work to deprive us of tbe advantages we have gained under the fundamen tal freedoms gnaranteed by the Constitutions of the United States. A politically dominated industry and agriculture will necessitate tbe inclusion of all other activities. If this tendency to government domi nation is not arrested by an awak ened public opinion we may find that the war we are now fighting for the preservation of democracy, has been fought in vain.

THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVTLLE. N. C. W ho’s N ews This W eek By Delot Wheeler Lovelace ConsoMdated Features.—WNU Release.

Thought must have been given to the grocery money then. They had turned down a $70 a month house in Plainfield, N. J., in favor of one at $60 in Englewood. They went without a telephone, since the budget did not allow one. (That was before Dwight W. Mor row rose to be a Morgan partner and United States ambassador to Mexico.) When Mrs. Morrow’s fonr children were small she never failed to find time for a half hour of reading at supper. The sen sitive ears of one of her daugh ters took in the rhythm of poetry and gave it out later in memorable prose. Earlier, as a student at Smith, Mrs. Morrow edited the College Monthly. As a graduate student at the Sorbonne and as a young teach er, she wrote stories and poems. After her marriage she produced five books, including The Painted Pig. (Three publishers rejected this successful tale of life down in Old Mexico.) Meanwhile, Mrs. Morrow gar dened. She acted as president of Smith for a year, and still serves as trustee. And now, be sides concerning herself with food, she aids the National War Fund drive and urges a woman at the peace table. Her husband must have trusted her budgeting. He left her the bulk of his estate. Erect, petite, calm, with a smile like Daughter Anne’s, she was bom in Cleveland, Ohio, 70 years ago.

Gen. Robert Laycoek.He has just moved into the post of Brit ain’s chief commando, recently va cated by Lord Louis Mountbatten, and will lead his commandos in the attack on the Nazis’ channel de fenses if and when an invasion is ordered. Laycock, after surviving the attack on Salerno, the invasion of Sicily, the evacuation of Crete and an attempt in 1941 to kidnap Germany’s Rommel, is now nicknamed Lucky. He is Brit ain’s youngest major general, long and strong with a hard, close-cropped head, a small tight mouth and eyes that in an ger remind observers who knew theiT Kipling well of Rikki-tikki- Tavi. Very likely Laycock knows Kip ling, too, and has discovered that if one reads “Adolf Hitler” for “Danny Deever” that notable hang ing swings along just as smoothly. He relishes poetry, the sage sayings of Socrates and Plato, and is a mid dling amateur barber to boot. In the field, when no professional is handy he cheerfully cuts his brother of ficers’ overgrown hair. Fortyish, he is married to a trim, handsome brunette, the former Angela Dudley Ward, who would, so London news papers say, herself make a good commando leader. They have three children.

Hull was born in a log cabin, actually. That starts him at least even with Stalin. But whereas Stalin still looks the part, Hull has for years looked like a man to the. manor born. When he comes into the shab by conference room of the shab by state department building to face Washington correspondents he couldn’t be more assured if he were backed up by a dozen generations of arms-bearing an cestors. He looks like the de scendant of such, too. At 72, he is still one of the handsomest men at either end of Pennsyl vania avenue. On his record he always had as surance. He helped elect a gover nor when he was seventeen; prac ticed law at nineteen; was a Ten nessee legislator at twenty-one, and in the Spanish American war was his regiment’s best pcker player. An ex-judge, ex-representative and ex senator, he is' one of the New Deal’s most durable administrators. He has been in the cabinet since 1933 and around Washington the notion prevails that whoever fights him will lose. Sumner Welle-3 probably never had as much chance as a snowball In the Sahara.

I IXrtly Released by Western NewspaPcr VBhm. U VEN while Coach Frank Leahy of Notre Dame was somberly forecasting that the Irish-Northwest ern tilt could “go either way,” 91 of the nation’s top grid experts were casting 91 first-place ballots for Notre Dame in tile weekly poll to determine the country's best footbaU team. And that, by the way, was the first time any football team ever re ceived unanimous backing. Notre Dame’s footbaU status was summed up very clearly by Lieut. Comdr. Edgar (“Rip”) Miller, Navy line coach, who said that the 1943 lineup is the best of aU Notre Dame teams . . . “probably the greatest in collegiate or professional history.” Miller, as may be remembered, was one of the Seven Mules who cleared the way for the Four Horse- COACH FRANK LEAHY men in 1924. So his words carry weight “We took a fine team to Cleve land,” Miller remarked recently, "and Notre Dame beat us although we had a fine line and a good set of backs. The team I saw that day was the greatest in the school’s his tory. I believe it could have beaten any college or professional team put together. Topping Them All “It has weight, speed, precision and has mastered the fundamentals of pass defense, downfield block ing, ball handling, tackling—every thing. It lops them all ” A great deal more will be heard of Coach Frank. Leahy in years to come. It is our opinion that the future will have him remembered along with Knute Rockne as a great Notice Dame institution. Leahy views each game with gloomy forebodings. His pre-game outlook is dark and melancholy. When things are beginning to look too bright for his team he begins re membering what Holy Cross did to Boston College last year. He re members, too, that bleak day in 1935 when a thrice-beaten Northwest ern came through to whip an un defeated Notre Dame team which was on its way to a national cham pionship. Leahy doesn’t have to remind himself not to grow too optimistic. His sad thoughts are for the benefit of others who are overly cheerful. Just as we think Leahy is the coach of the year, so we believe Angelo Bertelli is the player of the year. Though be didn’t have the oppor tunity to finish out the season, Ber- telli proved himself to be one of the most brilliant players in Notre Dame history. In our opinion, Notre Dame, with its superb line, its greater backfield and its dazzling speed, stood out as the best college team we’ve ever seen. The Possibilities Bill Alexander, Georgia Tech coach, whose team played both Notre Dame and Navy, declared that the Irish could beat any team he had seen this season 50 to O if Notre Dame kept the pressure on. Veteran football writers of the Midwest have expressed the belief that Notre Dame, with Bertelli in action, could beat the Bears and Redskins. Unquestionably the South Bend school is very wen equipped with the elements of the T-forma- tion demands at its best. But to beat the Bears would be asking a great deal from any coUege team. We wouldn’t know about that. Another thing—Johnny Lujack, the young man who replaced Bertelli, is more than a fair ball player. As an 18-year-old, even Bertelli was prob ably no more promising. There isn't much that Bertelli did that Lujack can’t do. He can pass, run and tackle. In the Army game he an swered the question of how he would react in the dutch. The answer was favorable.

I was lucky. By chance I walked right into preparations for one of the greatest bombing missions in history. This was the vast raid on Schweinfurt. I saw our boys take ofi and I saw them return. The small world of a bomber base in England is organized with utter precision toward one end—to get those planes off the ground, over the target and home. One mission fol lows another and everybody knows exactly what to do or is told. Out wardly it is calm, but in the back ground is always one brutal fact: some of our aircraft do not return, When the planes are out on a dan gerous mission, voices get shriller and men appear reluctant to aban don one another’s company. Americans and the RAF share their secret skills but not their way of life. Our base is a piece of Amer ica—food, equipment, wise-cracks. Few English faces are seen' and these are nsuaUy liaison officers. Everybody knew that the coming raid on Schweinfurt was to be some thing special, that there were some of the most important targets ever bombed anywhere. The Nazis are aware how vital ball bearings are to the war and the plants that make them had been tucked deep into the mountain folds of Bavaria. The Nazis knew Allied fighter planes could not carry enough gasoline to protect the invading bombers which would have to face Nazi fighter fire for hundreds nf miles. But For tresses have firepower to protect themselves and they have a bomb- sight to hit any target. Months ago their crews were handed nameless maps of the Schweinfurt targets to study. In English skies they prac ticed over and over again forma tions which would doom the facto ries. Restricted to Post. Finally the crews were briefed. But weather forced cancellation. So important was security on this raid, Colonel Harding restricted to the post every man who attended the briefing, gave special orders that they were not to discuss it among themselves and cut off telephones. Colonel Harding gave the group final instructions. A West Pointer from West Virginia, he has ice-blue eyes, a quiet manner and a fistful of medals. The latest of these is a sil ver star for gallantry and achieve ment in leading bombing raids over enemy territory. “Don’t let the boys tell yon they aren’t scared on. raids,” Colonel Harding told me. '1Nobody could be sucb a fool as not to be frightened when flak and fighters come at him. Fve been scared plenty.” I was assured by the boys that Harding’s briefing technique was okay. One thing the boys can’t stand, they told me, was what they called "drip.” They know what they are fighting for. What they want to be told is why the target is so im portant, so that if they get hurt they can feel it’s worth it. Maj. John Kidd of Cleveland led the group off the field. Three squad ron leaders seconded him. “Sweat ing it out” is the air force’s inele gantly accurate phrase for the busi ness of waiting for the planes to return from a raid. The waiting is undramatic but very wearing. 'Dappy to Be Alive.’ Outwardly all went on as before after the bombers roared down the runway at the base. Another mis sion went out and returned. It was a milk run over Holland. Another was briefed but canceled. After many long hours, the Fortresses came back. The gleam of a major’s oak leaf on a red fez perched at a rakish angle over a grinning Irish face was the herald. The wearer of the fez was Major Egan; his simple heartfelt greeting was: ‘T m very happy to be alive.” Then from all months tumbled out stories of the man-made hell they had been through, beginning hours before the target was reached. AU agreed that nothing like it in size, venom and duration was ever before experienced in aerial warfare. AU around were fighters, Forts blowing up in flame, and the thunder of guns without end. Hie Nazis arched strings of blinding new rocket shells. The Fortresses battled German fighters for 2% hours—the longest engagement in the hist9 ry of heavy. bombings—but they had gone over' their target and got away. A measure of the raid was the vol ubility of the crews who made it. Their talk lasted through their days of rest and was still going strong when I left the base. Crews are en couraged to talk, of course, not only to help get it out of their systems . but to keep intelligence officers fully informed. What they say might help greatly in planning the next encoun ter with the'Nazis. By VIRGINIA VALE Released by W estun Newspaper Union. I T’S one of the tales that people of the entertainment world will be telling years from now— that Abbott and Costello story. Last March, when Costello was stricken with rheumatic fever, and doctors said that he would never walk again, Abbott was urged to get himself a new part ner. He refused. He went off the air, 'stopped all picture work. He and Lou had been partners in pictures and radio for 13 years, he was sure that Lou would recover, and he’d wait. His faith was justi fied last September, when Lou took 60 steps, one for each year of the birthday anniversary his mother was Lou Costello and Bud Abbott celebrating. They’re back on the air now, start a picture late this month. But Fate again has dealt cruelly with the roly-poly comic, for his infant son, Lou Costello Jr., was drowned in the family swimming pool three hours before his adoring dad went on the air, brushed the tears aside and laughed as loud as he could on a coast-to-coast hookup. "Tonfli. In Crisis,’’ the latest March of Time release, is going to startle a lot of complacent people. Dramatically, movingly, it tells the story of what is happening to our young people because of the disrup tions and excitement of war. Deal ing with the same problem, RKO Radio is making “Are lliese Our Children?” Ruth Clifton, 18-year-old high school girl who originated the famous Moline Plan, has been brought to Hollywood to confer with California officials and to act as technical advisor on the film. When “Vox Pop” transferred from the sidewalks of Houston, Texas, to those of New York, in 1935, Variety, the Qieatrical paper, predicted that “This show ought to last indefinite ly.” Recently Parks Johnson cele brated “Vox Pop’s" 12th birthday, so the prediction may come true. Shirley Temple’s Pekingese died recently, while his mistress was playing a comedy scene in David O. Selznick’s “Since You Went Away." She’d had him for eight years. Any girl who’s come home to learn that she’s lost a childhood pet knows how she felt. -SSr- At last comes the definite an nouncement from Columbia Broad casting System that Fred AUsn will return to the air on Sunday, De cember 12. It’s said that be has staged a marked recovery to good health, and is all ready to resume his feud with Jack Benny. If you haven’t formed the habit of listening to those delightful sketches done on the Dinah Shore program by Cornelia Otis Skinner and Roland Young, better do some thing about it right away. Many ah effort has been made to do exactly this sort of thing on the air, and many an effort has failed. Comes along on CBS right after the Bing Crosby program on NBC on Thurs day evenings. Maurice Murphy’s playing a fight ing pilot in Paramount’s “Subma rine Alert,” doing all right, but he -has one deep regret. As a small child he portrayed the star, John Gilbert, as a child in “Flesh and the Devil,” and the leading lady often held him on her lap. The lead ing lady was Greta Garbo. “And when it happened,” says he, “I was too young to appreciate it!” — * — Carlton E.

Come Te Thankful People, Come (See Recipes Below) Thanksgiving! Traditional Thanksgiving turkey may this year give way to roast chicken, but the feast can have all the spirit of those you have had in former years. Though your meal may be less elaborate, every food can be done to a turn, the frills may be just as interesting, and your thanks can rise to a new height. Let the charm of your dinner lie in its simplicity. Get the most out of your food and prepare it to deli ciousness. The same vegetables that you had with turkey can go with chicken—if turnip puffs or com pudding or squash or sweet potato and apples are a tradition in your family. Prepare your chicken with the same care you would give turkey and it will look as nice and taste just wonderful. It’s easy enough to truss chicken properly so that it will look nice. Here’s one way of doing it: Trussing Chicken. Insert trussing needle through body of chicken belQW knee joint and pull cord through; continue cord through wings. Tie tightly to hold wings close to body. Stuff neck opening of chicken with stuffing and tuck neck skin under cord. Use an other piece of cord, and insert nee dle through legs’ rear joint. Stuff body cavity and truss opening with truss pins or cord. Draw cord from legs around tail piece and tie legs down close to body. The stuffing is just as important as the chicken itself. Have it not too soggy, not too dry, and well sea soned: *Celery Stuffing. I cup finely chopped celery I tablespoon minced onion I tablespoon minced parsley I tablespoon butter or fat % teaspoon marjoram % teaspoon celery seed Salt and pepper Water or stock ZVt cups bread crumbs Cook celery onion and parsley in fat for a few minutes. Add other ingredients with enough liquid to hold together and make dressing slightly moist. *Roast Chicken. 4 to 5 pound roasting chicken Salt (HtoU teaspoon per pound) Stuffing Melted fat Singe chicken, clean, wash and dry. Rub inside with salt. Stuff lightly with celery stuffing and truss. Rub surface with unsalted fat. Place on rack in an uncovered roaster, breast up. Cover with layer of fat from body of chicken, then with a clean cloth dipped into melted, un- salted fat. Roast, uncovered, in a slow oven (300 degrees) until ten der, basting occasionally with drip pings. Season with additional salt when half done. Remove cloth near end of roasting period and allow to brown. A chicken weighing 4 to 5 pounds re quires 30 to 35 minutes per pound to roast. A smaller chicken 40 to 45 minutes per pound. Cranberry, Sauce has a place with all fowl, and especially in the Lynn Says: Consernng Fuel: You’ll not only be saving on your own fuel bills but also co-operating with government requests if you save on cooking heat. Here’s how: When using oven, plan to cook several items in it at once. Meat and vegetables, and even hot bread and dessert can all be cooked in oven. It’s poor econo my to use both oven and surface heat to get a dinner together. Food should be ready for oven at the same time oven is correct temperature. Do not keep open ing oven door to see “how things are coming along.” Lynn Chambers' Point-Saving Menu Thanksgiving Dinner Chilled Cranberry and Orange Juice Wafers *Roast Chicken 4CeleryStufBng Gravy *Baked Sweet Potatoes and Apples Squash Puff Broccoli •Hot Rolls Pumpkin Pie Relishes: ’Cranberry Sauce, Olives; Celery •Recipes Given.

THE SIN OF COVETOUSNESS ■ LESSON TEXT—Exodus 20:17; take 12: 13-35. _____GOLDEN TEXT—Thou shalt not covet . . I' anything that Is thy neighbor’*.— Exodus 20:17. The Ten COmmandmraits (the last one of which we study'today) are characterized by their brevity, their comprehensive touch with all of life, and fidelity to the right. But they are also unique and different from all other laws in that they reach into the inner recesses of a man’s heart, a realm where only God can judge and act. This last commandment (against covetousness) emphasizes that point, for it does not expressly require or forbid any act, but deals with the motive of man’s action. Man can judge another man’s acts, but he cannot judge his motives, desires, or thoughts. God must do that. But man can, by the grace of God, control his motives; and hence we have this commandment and its in terpretation. I. The Sin—Covetousness (Ex. 20:17). It may be a surprise to many to learn that coveting—or desiring what belongs to another—is a sin. It has become one of the “respectable sins” accepted in the best circles and practiced by many church peo ple. As a matter of fact, this sin un derlies all the other sins against which the commandments speak. He who has a- love for money and an evil desire to have his neighbor’s possessions will hate, lie, steal, cheat, kill, in fact, as Dr. Morgan says, “The whole realm of human interrelations is disorganized and broken up by the dishonoring of the tenth commandment.” If you have become a lover of money, or one who longs to have what your friends own, beware. You are in real danger. II. The Result — A Ruined Life (Luke 12: 13-21). To have such a spirit makes a man greedy (v. 13), callous and selfish (w . 17-19), and foolish (v. 20), both regarding .this life and that which is to come. The yardstick of success in the world—for an individual, an organi zation, or a nation; yes, even for many a churchr-is the possession of wealth, or property, or other “things.” Write it in large letters oh the hearts and minds of our boys and girls, “A man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth” (v. 15). The one who was known to his friends (and to himself) as “a rich man” (v. 16), but whom God knew as a “fool” (v. 20), had more than he could use for himself. He had to build new and bigger barns, and could not see the “barns” that were already prepared, for, as Ambrose says, “Thou hast barns—the bosoms of the needy, the houses of widows, the mouths of orphans and infants.” He was a fool who loved money for himself. One wonders what he had to say for himself when that very night he was called into the pres ence of God to give an account of his stewardship <v. 20). It you are similarly situated and have the sam e attitude, what will you say in that day? An important point which we must note is that Jesus expressly repudiated the connecting of His name with the so-called “social gos pel” in His reply (v. 14). m . The Cure—Tnist in God (Luke 12:22-25). Because covetousness destroys the best in life, we ought to shun it like poison. The best antidote (or cure) if we have been poisoned by it is to go all-out in our trust and con fidence in God. We who are children of God are to take no anxious thought for the morrow. This does not forbid prop er preparation and forethought, but it does rule out fretful anxiety. The reasons are very clear and cogent. First of all, while food and cloth ing are important, they are not of first importance. The vital thing is that one'have life. Otherwise things are useless (v. 23). We must keep our sense of proportion, of relative, values. Then too, God is the One who must care for every one of us. And He does care for us! VQiy not trust Him? He cares for all creation; can'He not care for you? If then you trust the all-powerful One, what occasion is there for worry, or cov etousness? And Bnally comes the devastating argument. Worry never accom plished anything. Anxiety does not help anyone, anytime, anywhere. So why be anxious? It is clear then that a desire, for that which belongs to others is a' sin which destroys man’s happiness and usefulness. It is needless—as: is all anxiety—because only God can provide, and He will provide if we trust Him. Life becomes simple, pleasant, use ful, confident, yes, ready Christian, when we get our eyes off things and on the Lord.

BLACK SOMBRERO' ^ C L IF F O R D K N IG H T Islre Chatfield, Bollywood artist. Is I cut off from the win of her Aunt Kitty Chatfleld, who died from an overdose of m orphine. B arry, an am ateur detective, and Bnntoon Rogers, a professional death, go down to M azatlan, Mexico, on a yacht cruise with M argaret and Dwight Nichols. Rogers is not quite satisfied th at Aunt Kitty died by her own hand. W hen they arrive a t M azatlan they Ilnd Biat Blsa1 dam es Chesebro, a m ine own e r, and George Rum ble, Elsa’s agent, have preceded them by plane. They dine a t the ranch ot Sam Chatfield, Elsa’s fa ther. Rogers asks Chatfield if he was In California a t the tim e his sister, Kitty, died. The question upsets Sam Chat field considerably. CHAPTER V "So, you see, when Kitty was found dead early next morning I was frightened—for Berta. What if the police asked questions? What if they heard through the servants that we had stayed the night there? That Berta had been very angry with Kitty? Could I have my beloved Ber ta the target of police question ing? You see?” “Very clearly,” said Rogers. “In order to set your mind at rest, Mr. Chatfield—if you are still troubled— I’ve read the police files dealing with your sister's death. There is no mention of your presence in the house that night. Or even in town at the hotel. How did you manage it?” "Elsa managed it. She was there, of course. I never asked her how she did it. I’m relieved to know that Berta and I have no official con nection with what happened that night. We were happy to get safely home to Mazatlan, and we have not ventured back to California, except for our brief visit some weeks ago.” “Were you aware that Katherine Chatfield was a morphine addict?” he inquired of our host. “Not until after she died. More over, I don't think that Elsa knew it, either, living as she was in the same house with her, until after Kit ty’s death.” “Am I being too personal, Mr. Chatfield?” “Not at all, Mr. Rogers. I am only too glad to tell you what I know.” “Yes.” “Did you detect any unusual odor in the room?” “No. The room was closed—had been closed all night, I suppose. But I’m a poor person to be asked that question; my sense of smell is not acute.” “No odor of chloroform, Mr. Chat field?” “No, I don’t recall it.” He poured from the bottle and reached for the siphon, his arm halting midway in its reach. “But why this talk of murder?” he asked. “Why not let it rest as it undoubt edly was—as.a suicide?” “The district attorney has never been satisfied with the investigation that was made at the time, Mr. Chatfield,” I remarked. “He’s a close friend of mine; he’s never been willing to call it suicide.” “But have you anything to go on which indicated that it wasn’t?” “I haven’t,” I admitted. Sam Chatfield’s gray eyes in his deeply tanned face turned to Rog ers inquiringly. “There is an investigator on the Pasadena police force with an ex traordinary sense of smell. He says there was an odor of chloroform in the room that morning.” “Well?” Sam Chatfield sat for ward in his chair. “Why chloroform if it was suicide? If your sister was a morphine ad dict, and had a source of supply, as she must have had, why chloroform when she knew that an overdose of morphine was all she required.” “And that fact—I’m not disput ing the evidence of the man’s nose— has swayed you to the opinion that my sister was murdered?” “Yes.” “Do you have any more questions, Mr. Rogers?” inquired Sam Chat field. “There’s one more thing,” Rogers began slowly. “I hesitate to bring it up, for it must touch very closely upon your sensibilities. And yet it is vital.” “Yes?” Sam Chatfield’s voice was clipped, unfriendly almost. “There was a child some five years or so ago. And, of course, gos sip. Ugly gossip. The truth never came out, even among close friends of your family—” Sam Chatfield’s eyes suddenly were blazing with anger. “I’ve nothing to say, Mr. Rogers, Tbout that child. It’s dead. The whole incident is dead, so far as we Chatfields are concerned.” “I’m sorry,” replied Rogers. “I’m very sorry.” We fished that next day. All day long in the launch we plied the blue waters off Mazatlan until well into the afternoon. Margaret, who had started with us, remained in the launch only a couple of hours. Elsa had promised to come out, bringing Berta with her. So we picked them up at the wharf and put the three of them on board the Orizaba and continued fishing from the launch. However, there was no sign of swordfish that day, but a run of albacore in Uie afternoon provided ample excitement; and in the eve ning we nursed our sunburn and talked of the fishing yet to be done. Elsa seemed downcast at the rail that evening as she and I watched the brief, fiery sunset which preced ed the dusk. Dwight and Margaret were below; Rogers was in his state room doctoring a blistered nose, and Berta had been set ashore. Our fishing plans had been changed aft er dinner. ‘ Margaret had decided to invite Berta and Sam, and any of the others who could come aboard, for a day’s cruise up the coast. Margaret in the early evening had sent over into town for the two youth ful mariachis, Felipe and Pancho, to come out and play for us, which they obligingly did for a couple of hours or so on the after deck. But Elsa was restless; this was not Reed Barton’s playing and singing in the patio by moonlight which had stirred something in her heart; it was mere ly Mexican music without meaning. She got up and went below before the boys had finished, leaning over to whisper in my ear before she left me: “Did you ever feel like a barome ter, Barry? A change is coming.” I slept on her remark and could make nothing of it, and after break fast as we stood again at the rail H i r r “Of leechei all the dirty, eowardly looking off over the sparkling water of the bay which was emerging from a light fog, I asked: “Were you being prophetic last night, Elsa? About a change com ing?” “Barry, you’re too profound for me this morning. Oh, look! The launch is coming from shore.” Nosing through drifting wisps of fog was the sharp prow of the launch. Elsa brightened amazingly, her face was keenly alert as she endeavored to identify its passen gers. Interest after a moment sud denly went out of her and she turned away. I saw Sam Chatfield in the launch, and Berta; and side by side the fat figure of Chesebro and Rum ble, the latter dressed in his in credible coat and huge black som brero, as congenial as a pair of dis gruntled clams. Elsa kissed her father and hugged Berta’s small round person to her self ecstatically, and stretched a hand out to Chesebro in greeting. “Didn’t you bring Reed Barton with you, Jimmy?” she asked with a tone of petulance. Chesebro glanced sharply at her. “Barton hasn’t got back from the mine. Probably won’t until later on today.” “But we can’t go cruising without him.” “Don’t forget, Elsa,” Chesebro chided her almost as if she were a child, “that Reed Barton is em ployed; he’s got a job to do. Work comes before social diversions.” “You always have such complete and satisfactory explanations, Jim my,” returned Elsa. Chesebro looked closely at her to see what lay behind the remark, and then strode down the deck to greet Dwight and Margaret who were emerging from the companionway. “Your Mexico always delights me, senora,” I said to Berta, as the crowd at the ladder began to break up. George Rumble moved away with Elsa. Huntoon Rogers had come up from below and was talking with Sam Chatfield. Berta’s dark eyes lighted up with pleasure; her white teeth flashed me a smile and she leaned a bare brown arm upon the rail. “That’s because you know Mexico and understand it. Senor Madison.” At that moment down the deck where Elsa and George Rumble were bent heads together over a sec tion of the Sunday paper he had brought on board, there came Elsa’s voice so charged with emotion that it penetrated my heart like a knife. “Oh—George!” she exclaimed. “What’s wrong with that, baby?” returned Rumble matter-of-factly. I W .N .U .• en v ies He hurriedly folded up Ute paper, however. Elsa drew away from him. She shrank as if she had been struck a mortal blow, walked dazedly to the companionway and went below. Rumble watched her go, his face a puzzle, then as if dismissing the matter, tucked the paper under his arm and walked nonchalantly aft, leaving us all staring after him, staring, too, at the companionway down which Elsa had disappeared. Huntoon Rogers had drifted over to my side while this was happening. His nose and cheekbones still were red from the sunburn of the day be fore, but his mild blue eyes were in tent upon the retreating figure of Rumble. “What happened, ■ Barry?” he in quired. “I don’t know, Hunt. I can’t imag ine. Something serious, though, to judge from Elsa’s reaction.” “Let’s go take a look at Rumble’s paper.” George Rumble continued retreat ing along the deck as we walked in his direction, a curious figure In brown slacks, incredible sports coat and the black sombrero. As he con tinued along the deck, he had the appearance of one endeavoring to walk away from disaster. Just as we were about to catch up with him, the fat figure of Chesebro, popping out of the doorway to the ship’s lounge, waylaid him. Rumble paused, his sombrero tilt ing back as he looked up at the taller man. A curious expression was on Chesebro’s dark face, an expression mingled of suspicions, re sentment and malevolence. Without speaking, he held his hand out im periously for the newspaper. Rum ble gave it to him and withdrew a step or two and stood watching CheSebro’s fat hands unfold the roto gravure section. The main bulk ef the paper was tucked under his arm, whence it fell promptly to the deck, the edges of its many sheets to be stirred gently by the morning breeze. Chesebro turned to an in side page of the section, scanning its contents rapidly, while Rumble with gaze set like that of a small boy summoned to answer for his misdeeds, watched Chesebro! Chesebro of a sudden started; his whole fat figure tensed. A moment later he recovered, angrily folded the section tore it once through the middle and threw it overboard. I followed its downward fluttering*, saw it hit the water, and then my eyes traveled farther to a rowboat manned by a native in white cotton pants and straw sombrero. In the boat looking eagerly at us was Reed Barton. “Well?” said Rumble, licking'his dry lips. “What do you think of it?” Chesebro was swelling with poi sonous fury. His dark eyes had hardened to pinpoints of baleful light. He clenched his fists and Rum ble moved warily a step backward. “You admit you’re responsible for that picture in the paper?” “Sure, Chesebro; it’s a swell piece of publicity for Elsa.” Chesebro’s arm flashed out, and Rumble ducked at the same time. The tall crown of the sombrero was caught by the flailing fist and the hat flew off, rolling along the deck until it came to rest at the rail. “Of all the dirty, cowardly leeches—” “Don’t you call me that!” Rumble assumed a fighting pose. “There’s heart appeal in that picture—” Huntoon Rogers’ tall figure jammed between the two belliger ents; with a broad hand on the chest of each he shoved them vigorously apart. “Don’t forget yourselves!” he said sharply, Chesebro dropped his hands and turned away, walking forward along the deck. Rumble glared after the fat, retreating back, looked up at' Rogers who still stood as a barrier between him and his enemy, then strolled over to the rail, picked up his sombrero and set it back upon his oiled, curly head. The danger of fisticuffs past, I gave my attention to the approach ing rowboat which was now quit* close. The torn halves of the roto gravure section floated on the water within reach of the passenger, who, having observed that something un usual was astir relating to’ them, reached over the side and gathered the pieces in, and brought them up the ladder with him. Rogers and I were there to greet him, and Dwight, too, whose curios ity at-what had happened still war unsatisfied. The others had disap peared. “I don’t know what it’s all about, Barry,” Reed said, giving the w e pieces to me. “The Chief certainly swung from the ankles on that Rum ble person. Where’s Elsa?” he in quired eagerly. “She’s on board, isn’t she?” “Oh, yes.” Rogers took the pieces of paper from me, carried them to a hatch cover and spread them methodically out for inspection. The section was a part of a Los Angeles Sunday newspaper that must have come down by train only the night before. Dwight was an interested specta tor, and I crowded upon Rogers’ oth er elbow. Reed Barton was of twe minds, one to seek Elsa, the othei to discover what was so interesting in the picture section. (TO BF- CONTINUED) Beleased by W estein Newspaper Union. GALL BLA D D ER If an individual does considerable belching, has occasional sharp pains in upper right hand side of abdo men, and at times his skin shows a yellow tinge, his, or more often her, phy sician suspects liver and gall bladder dis turbance. He may have tests made of the ability of the liv er to filter out poi sons or harmful sub stances from the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ blood, and an X-ray t W H | of the gall bladder to show its shape, Dr. Barton presence of stones, and ability to empty its bile into the small intestine. The liver is the largest organ in the body and can lose many of its cells and be damaged to a consid erable extent without endangering the life of the individual. The gall bladder which holds about two ounces of concentrated bile can be distended so that it holds almost a pint of bile diluted with a saline or salt solution. Generally speaking, as practically two of eveiy three middle-aged or elderly individuals have some dis turbance of liver and gall bladder, the need for operation of any kind does not include a large percentage of this number. It is severe pain in the region of the gall bladder, or the intense pain of gall stone colic, caused by a gall stone trying to pass through a small tube or duct, that calls for consideration as to the need for operation. In the Canadian Medical Asso ciation Journal, Dr. L. C. McCabe, Windsor, Ontario, states: “While I would urge most em phatically the importance of operat ing early in the course of chronic gall bladder disease, I should like to sound a warning against operat ing for ‘indefinite’ symptoms. The individual who has flatulent dyspep sia (indigestion with much gas for mation) but gives no history of gall stone colic, or of any attack of pain that might be an acutely obstructed gall bladder, and gives no history of jaundice, is better carried along by medical treatment, not surgery. Even if his gall bladder does not empty or fill completely as shown by X-rays, I would let him go on belching and perform no operation. The belching will rarely be changed by removal of gall bladder because this belching is usually due to over eating, over-drinking, or to emo tional disturbances.” The thought then is that belching and pain in the region of the gall bladder should be investigated.• • • Emotional Factor in Rheumatic Children Rheumatism receives intensive study in Great Britain because such a large percentage of the - popula tion is afflicted. Although the damp climate has much to do with caus ing and aggravating the symptoms of rheumatism, British physicians give perhaps more thought to the “nervous” or emotional factor in rheumatism than we do here. Of course, all physicians are aware of this factor and of the relation of that nervous ailment chorea (St. Vitus’ Dance) to rheumatism. In the British Medical Journal, Dr. D. Hubble states that there are two parts to the rheumatic state in childhood—nervousness and infec tion. Both are present in differing amounts so that it may be impossi ble in one child to distinguish any nervous instability (or lack of nerv ous balance) or in another to detect any evidence of infection. In one the emotional factor is most pro nounced and infection apparently not present or occurs after Uie emo tional factor is apparently entirely absent. As to “growing pains,” Dr. Hub ble points out that these pains re sult not from growth of the body but because of some difficulty at tending the growth of the personality of the individual, and it is easier to find evidence of nervous instability than of infection in these cases. Although many physicians believe that infection is present first and causes the rheumatism with emo tional instability following, Dr. Hub ble states that there is more evi dence to prove that the emotional or nervous excitability occurs before infection and "probably even pre pares the ground for the infection.” How can these symptoms be treat ed? This is done by removing the stresses of the child’s home and school life, and by adjusting him to the surroundings best suited to his personality. • • • QUESTION BOX Q.—Is surgery commonly resorted to in correction of defective eye muscles? A--Surgery is commonly resorted to if other methods—exercise, prisms —fail, as they often do. Q.—Can I get into any branch of the service with a perforated ear drum? A--The perforated eardrum would likely’ prevent you joining an over seas unit, but home service would be nil right.

Traosoiy DaportmeHt a Y O U R S T A K E I N T H E C O S T O F W A R ’•Renegotiation of war contracts” is a heavy-sounding term, and news paper readers in the sections of America where public interests are localized and largely agricultural may wonder how such a subject can concern them. But since every taxpayer has a personal stake in any measure that increases government expense and adds to the public payroll, especially at a time when every dollar is need- •d for the war effort, then this ques tion of contracts for equipment and supplies becomes vital to all. "Renegotiation” in the early days of lend-lease and of the huge task of mustering an armed force of millions of men, a few contractors receiving fat orders saw in these government contracts only a new gold mine. To meet the relatively small number of abuses which were brought to light, the last Congress passed a law requiring that all new and old Army, Navy and Maritime Commission contracts be written with a “renegotiation” clause, so that they could be refig ured in the search for cases where contractors were making too large a profit. This law requires that the Army, Navy and Maritime commission each employ a separate force of men to. re-estimate all contracts for buildings, machinery, tanks, air planes, guns, clothing, and the thou sand items industry must turn out for war use. The law seemed wise and harm less at first, but evidently it was not realized how large an “army” of employees would be needed to en force it. It is estimated that there are some three million such contracts, over 20,000 contractors, and an unknown number of sub-contractors. If the original law were carried out, it might easily require 200,000 new pub lic payrollers, and 300,000 new em ployees hired by contractors to prepare the data for the federal au thorities, and this at a time when manpower is scarce and every able-bodied person is needed for service in uniform or production work at home. The job would take years even after the war. Amendments Not Sufficient Agriculture and industry are short of machinery and manpower, and these men are too badly needed in producing crops and equipment for ourselves and our allies to be wasted in checking up on contracts, espe cially when there is already an effi cient means of doing that work. True, the original bill has been amended; bui the amendments still authorize each department con cerned to refigure contract prices. This means the employment of a vast number of special auditors and accountants. Congressman Disney points out that there should be an automatic method of screening out contractors from those whose profits are not excessive, “so that we will not have to use, in renegotiation, all of the accountants in the country.” A proposed amendment whittles at the original law and limits rene gotiation to contracts 1 which show more than 2 per cent profit. But this is no time for half-way measures. That sort of plan would still require a lot of unnecessary employees on both government and contractors’ payrolls. The Solution The Internal Revenue department has a yearly check on all profits. It figures the* taxes paid in all indus tries, including those with Army, Navy and Maritime commission con tracts. If the Internal Revenue au thorities discover an abnormal profit from any war work in any business, after payment of taxes, it could so certify to the department concerned so that renegotiation could be start ed. The ones that are within the fair and reasonable limit of 2 per cent profit after taxes would require no attention, and in that way mil lions of man-hours would be saved and duplication of effort, and delays caused by extra forces of employees refiguring contracts, would be avoid ed. The Disney amendment, which seems simple and effective, has not yet been adopted. Yet it amply guards against excess profits, with a minimum of interference with war time production and at the same time providing escape from the new load of non-essential payrollers which the original law threatened. The ordinary man therefore con cludes: Why not let the Internal Rev enue tax man do the whole job at one sitting? Why not save the time of industrial management and em ployees for vital work? Why not use the established check on costs, and at the same time save the expense of extra payrollers? Most of those payrollers could well be used in the armed service, or on farms, or in factories, or in some other productive kind of work, in stead of occupying desks in Washing ton. They, would then be doing some thing to help win the war. 8 OMDS OVEK AMERiCA * * * Since ISSS American stockraisere have been taking their ani mals to the Union Stockyards at Chica go, maintaining an in stitution that helped to make America great Entrance—Union Stockyards, Chicago Keep Ovur Traditions Bny More War Bwads In Hitler’s Europe the farmery are producing too, but their product goes to Nari Germany to feed the soldiers who are shooting thousands of. prisoners who object to this form of tyranny.

The Objective of Preaching Rev. Walter E. lsenbonr. Hiddeolte. N. C. Theobjectitn of all preaching should be the salvation o.f souls. Tfaeonegreat missionof our Sav ior to earth wrs to “ seek and to save that which is lost." This should be our mission as preachers of the Gospel Anything short of this in the life of a preacher and bis message is wrong. No donbt the objective of many preachers'is money. Take that a- way from them and they would quit. They place money above sonls. They are far mo e Interest ed in their than they are In the lost and perishing sonls of men. It is a deplorable thing for a preacher to think more of money tban sonls. We know that the minister of the Gospel mnst have a living and needs money with which to bny food and raiment and meet expen ses. bnt this should not be his rea son for preaching the Gospel. It looks very suspicions on the part of many ministers that they are al ways called to greater pulpits and higher salaries when there are so many needy places where the Gos pel should be preached, but small er salaries face them. Why does God not call them sometimes to these needy fields where men are perishing for the bread ot life, though the salary is small! May be He does, but they refuse to go. Maybe men call them oftentimes to great pulpits and larger salaries, out God isn’t in it. Then we have a belief that the objective of some preachers is that of popularity and not the salvation of souls. They want the applause and approbation of men, therefore preach flowery sermons and tickle itching ears, bnt sbnn to denounce the sins of people and tell them if they do not repent they are going to hell. It is astonishing bow lit tle Gospel some preaobers deal out to the people, and how little soul food they give them, while tbey are perishing in their souls for the bread of life. Indeed the objective of all prea chers of the Gospel should be the salvation of precious souls, the sanc tification of believers, and the as sistance of pilgrims of Christ Leav enward. O that this were really How empty and fruitless is preach ing that has any other objective but that of man’s redemption from all sin! More intel'ectnalism with out a burden for souls is a poor makeshift in preaching. It is soon forgotten by the masses, but they plod Uellward just the same. No Blank Checks According to one of the members. Senator Elmer Thoiqas, Oklahoma Democrat, the Senate Appropria tions Committe vote to engage ex- pe ts to analyze the financial re quests from executive departments and bureaus means that "we're through with voting blank eheck and lump snm appropriations ” ThiS is encouraging but years over due. * * * So far the executive department has indicated no self-reform although the nation is at war and waste of money on a large scale is taking on almost criminal import in view of the obvious long-term weakening of tbe United States Thus responsibi iity cannot be evaded longer by Con gress. The task of forcing the bu reaucracy to economize, where it can be done without hampering con duct of the war or demoraling vital Government services on the home front, has become one of the highest public service import.—South Bend (Ind.)

Inter-Party Friction The Democrats who lambasted the New Deal last month would make a list so long it is impressible to list each of them. Yet, to show how representative are the critics of the Democratic Party inside tbe party, we list the following persons, who sco'ded one or more - Govern ment agencies: Governor John Dempsey, 0 f New Mexico, who engaged in a public brawl with OPA’s traffic rules. Dr. Herbert R. Northrup, War Labor Board staff adviser, who ac- cussed Dr. William M. LeKerson, chairman of tbe National Railway Medidiation Board, of "aiding and abetting" Iaborunionsin discrimi nation against Negroes Mayor James D. Wood, of Nor folk, Va., who foresaw a "revolt’’ until the New Deal changes its way. Representative Phillip J. Phillip (D.), of Massachusetts, who says we will have a t rkeyless Thanks giving due to the machinations -of OPA. Senator £ D. Thomas (D.), of Oklahoma, who said thatlhe is be ing blamed personally for OPA mistake and that, Ly cracky.. OPA bad better not ruin his chances for re-election like it did the others who failed to returned to Congress last November. The Republicans didn’t, have to say a word. They just sat aud smiled, and went forward with con structive plans for giving the Gov ernment good management starting in 1945 ______________ Sooth Of The Border Mexicans from south of the border are peddling American ration points issued to them in accordance with the Administration’s good neighbor policy, reports from Texas say. Meat p ints have been sold to hun gry Americans for ten cents each and shoe coupons are bringing as high as $2.50. Estimates are that the month ly take by Mexicans in El Paso alone in $10,000. OPA has just completed its fourth bi-monthly issue of ration books to Mexican applicants residing just over tbe border. According to re ports approximately 140.000 resi dents of Mexico, where there is no rationing, received the books. OPA records show that 28.000 jof the 65,- 000 people in Juarez are receiving the American ration allowance. Going Through The Motion A recently inserted advertisement in an Easton, Pa , newspaper read: "Lost—in Mediterranean Sea. ’A’ gas ration book, Horace A Smith. 574 Congress Street Pbillipburg.’’ Mr. Smith, a seaman of the United States Merchants Marine, lost all of his belongings when his ship was tor pedoed in the Mediterranean When he sought to replace his "A” book at his local OPA ration board, he rah smack into a provision that;'compel him to advertise for its return even it had been sunk by a German sub.

Not satisfied with controlling everything else, the New Deal is after the little red school house. Even the New Deal hasn’t been H it wiii mi iw »1 |w i liibul dMhiffWl The People Speak Abrahani Lincoln once said, “Yon can fool some of tbe people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, bnt yon cannot fool all the people all of the time " On Tuesday, November 2, 1943, millions of Americans, both Demo crats and Republicans, through the ballot boxes served notice on the New Deal Administration in Wash, ington that they are tired of the bureaucratic bungling that has ta ken place in tbe nation's capitol for many months and years under tbe guise of New Dealism They spoke in the States of New York. New Jersey and Kentucky—in tbe cities of Philadelphia, Detroit and San Francisco and in smaller towns and municipalities throughout the en tire country. Tbe American'people have at last awakened to tbe inroads of regi mentation, tbe wastnge and misuse of public funds, tbe creation of a government octopus, tbe trend to wards centralization of power In Washington, the violation of state rights, the creation of political or ganizations through tbe establish ment of countless federal agencies, the so-called White House Palace Gnard consisting of Associate Su preme Court Justice Felix Frank furter, Harry Hopkins, and New York Supreme Court Justice Sam uel Rosenman, and tbe general mis management on tbe part of numer ous governmental agencies on tbe home front, while at the same time millions of Americans are engaged in waging war on seventy-two bat tle fronts to preserve and protect the very ideals that are being de stroyed at home. Tbe people of tbe United States are rapidly awakening to tbe dan gers that confront our nation here at home and unless steps are taken to immediately curb the burean cratic rule that now exists in Wasb ington and to restore tbe orderly process of government, as was in tended by our forefathers, and which were so clearly and definite Iv outlined in the provisions of our Constitution, our American way of life is doomed: In 1942 when the people first gave an indication of their feelings in the matter of tbe continuation and perpetuation in office of certain parasitic bureaucrats in Washing ton, the response of the Adminis- tration mouthpieces was to the ef fect that tbe vote bad no bearing and could not be construed as a mandate and was not an outspoken manifestation against the policies of the New Deal Administration, but was mainly local reaction. It will bp interesting to hear just what excuses will come from the mouth pieces and “yes men’’ of the New Dealers following tiie election of November. They might be able to explain away tbe defeat of tbe De- mocratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor in New York; they migbt he able to explain away tbe defeat of the gubernatorial candidate of New Jersey; tbey might even be able to explain—with their usual gusto—the defeat oj ‘ My dear Bill Bullitt” in Philadelphia—notwith standing Mrs. Roosevelt's open ad VocscV of his candidacy—but what will these New Deal "ves men” say with respect to the defeat in Kentucky, when it was argued on every hand that a defeat for the Dsmocratio candidate in Kentucky would he an outright repudiation of the national New Deal Admin, istratinn? Yes, the election returns of No vember 2 very dearly and indelibly indicate that the trend which start ed in November of 1942 is ftill con tinuing and there is everv reason to believe that it will grow in-scope and fury until November of 1944 —when we all hope and pray that IllS |j9ysri)lBS0t of our, beloved The Editor’s Dream Seen Along Main Street Last evening I was talking With an editor, old aud gray Wbp told me of a dream he had, ,Twas just the other day. While standing in his office, The vision came to view, For he saw an angel enter Dressed in garments white and new Said the angel, “ I'm from heaven. The Lord just sent me down To bring you up to glorv And put on your golden crown You’ve been a friend to everyone And worked hard night and day. You have supported many And from few received your.pay And we want vou to be up in glory Where you desire to be, So place your trusting band In mine And come along with me.” Then the angel and the editor Started up to glory’s gate. But when passing close to hades, The angel murmnred, “ Wait! I have a place to show you— It’s the hottest place in b— Where tbe ones that never paid you Do in torment always dwell.” And, behold, the editor saw them, His old patrons by tbe score, And grabbing np a chair and fan, He wished for nothing more, Btit was bound to set and watch ’em As they’d sizzle, singe and born. And his epes would rest on debtors Wb’chever way they’d turn. Said the angel, "Come on, editor, There’s the pearly gate to see!” But the editor only murmured, - “This is heaven enough forme.” Draft Quotas Will Be Halved By January I Draft quotas for North Chrolina will be reduced by half after January 1944, Brig. Gen. J Van B. Metts, state selective' service director, has announced. Estimates based on figures releas ed by headquarters before local boards were first instructed to in duct fathers to fill their quotas would ,place the number of draftable fathers a month at an outside figure of 8.000 after the first of the year. General Metts, who returned this week from a selective service con ference in Washington, said that it was announced that the array will have reacoed its goal of 10.500.000 men in the armed forces by Decem ber 31 and that the quotas would be cut to just the number necessary for replacements purposes. He said that the state had been supplying 19.000 men a month to tbe armed forces and that "235.000 North Carolina were now in tbe armed ser vices. At tbe time when local boards were instructed to take fathers if necessary to fill their monthly quo tas, headquarters estimated that there were 1,500 new 18-year olds in the state each month available to help fill quotas as well as a limited number whose determents had ex pired Of tbe state’s total monthly quota for next year approximately 8.000 will be fathers, according to the available figures.

C* f BLACK SOMBRERO CLIFFORD KNIGHT EUk ChaWeItf,- Hollywood artist, Is cat off from the Kin ot her Anat Kitty, who OiM from an overdose of morphine. Bar ry, IB n u M r detective, and Bont nos ers, a professional sleuth, go to Marat* ton, Mndeo, os a yacht ends* with Mar- v(aret and Dwight Nichols. Arrlvlni at ’ Sfazatlan they Anil that BUa and her party ~ave preceded them hy plane. They dine at- th& ranebo of Elsa’s fa* . tlicr, Sam Chatfield, whom Rogers Ques tions about his visit to his sister, Kitty, ra tbe night she died. The next day ChatfieId tosses a rotogravure section Into the sea, hut the pieces are picked up by Reed Barton, who gives them to Rogers. Chatfield Is very Indignant over the incident. CHAPTER VI “ Here it is,” said Dwight, pointing. "Yes,” said Rogers. .I leaned farther forward to see the picture. It was a reproduction of . a photograph of Elsa; the lov able personality shone up from the damp surface. Unmistakably it was Elsa at her provocative, impish best That, of course, was as it should be; but the staggering, incomprehensi ble part of it all was the child on her lap. A child apparently about a year old, seeming normally healthy and lovely, and, like all babies, a captivator of the heart. Underneath the picture were the lines: "Elsa Chatfield, whose caricatures have re cently won wide acclaim, and her email daughter Mary Frances.” "Well—that’s that, I guess.” ‘!Yes,*’ said Rogers, picking up the torn sheet, and starting below to his stateroom. . “Barry—" he began. “I—I don’t understand it.” “.Neither do I, Reed.’’ There were many things in that strange. story not understood until the end. The cruise in the Orizaba planned for that day was aban doned; the yacht lay idly at her an chor. There was no fishing. “What do you make of it, Dwight?” I inquired after lunch that day. Dwight Nichols shook his head. "The whole thing is impossible. The child has been dead now several years—three or four.” “But how could such "a mistake be made?” asked Margaret, her dark eyes very earnest. “Mistakes can usually be ex plained,” Rogers reminded her. “I dare say George Rumble, to whom we must look for the answer, has a very natural explanation. That, of course, is aside from other as pects of the thing. Here’s a family secret closely guarded for years, about which neither Elsa nor her father would talk, broadcast to tbe public—” “Did Sam Chatfield see the pic ture?” Margaret interrupted. Rogers shook his head. “I have it- in my stateroom. Exhibit A, so to speak, although there are liter ally thousands of them in existence elsewhere. In Southern California, however; not here in Mazatlan.” But it was not until the morning of the following day that we ran • across George Rumble. We discov ered him in the last place we ex pected to find him—at Sam Chat field’s rancho, sitting idly in the patio indifferent to the little green parrakeets screaming in the gnarled old pepper tree overhead while he waited for Elsa. The shirt of pink and white checks was absent, but in its place was a companion of blue and white. “Some of us have been wonder ing where you got that picture of Elsa and the baby,” said Rogers. “I knew somebody would ask that. Well”—his dark little eyes watched the movements of a young Indian girl as she came out of a doorway, walked straight and slim through the patio and disappeared into the kitchen—“there’s lots of ways to get a picture.” “Elsa didn’t give it to you.” "No.” “You understand, Rumble,” I be gan, "there’s only one conclusion to be drawn, after seeing how Elsa re acted yesterday when she saw the' picture in the paper.” "Well—draw it, Barry, if you want to. If I say anything to Elsa about what I’m going to do, she won’t let me. She’ll be going against her own best interests by telling me I can’t do it. When you start with a press agent, you ought to leave it all in his hands. Elsa’d be just like her aunt—the one that died. She’d said to me: ‘No, you can’t do that. You can’t do this. I know what I want in the paper.’ So I says to her one day: ‘Why’n heck did you hire m e, if you’re going to run it?’ That made her mdd and she kicked me out of her house, and I never did get my money, either.” ' Neither Rogers nor I said any thing for a moment as we reflected Upon this revelation; “You knew Elsa’s aunt—Kather ine Chatfield?” “I’ll say I knew her. She was a hell-cat and no 'mistake. She was the first job I have in California when I come out from New York. I heard they were putting on some sort of campaign in Pasadena; she is the chairman. I go to see her and she says okeh, and we start to work. But we start fighting, too, right from the start I don’t get m y money and I go to see her about i f I tell her I’m going to sue her and that night she dies. That's the first-time I ever saw the picture-of ■Elsa and Uie baby, .when we’re set ting one day at the old gal’s desk looking up some stuff she wants to give me. H ie next time I see it I pick it up in Elsa’s apartment in Hollywood when-I am planning my campaign for Elsa, tbe names are on the.back: Elsa and Mary Fran ces." “How did you know it was her daughter?” asked Rogers. “Her aunt told me that first time when I saw the picture. I asked who it was. That’s why I remember it a year later when I can use the picture, see?” “Didn’t you know that the child was dead?” “Dead? Tlie baby?” Rumble ech oed, slightly aghast "No, I didn’t know that. It ain't none of my business where the baby is, under stand, and I -don’t ask. AU I’m looking for is something with heart interest, see? Dead,” he mused. "Well—that gives me an idea; we can correct that. I’ll get the boys at the office in Los Angeles to run a little piece—you know, unfortunate mistake; picture of. brilliant young, caricaturist published last week with child—Say, that’s fine! We’ll crack ’em again. I tell you it don’t make no difference what you run, so long as you keep hammering away at i t ” Rumble’s thoughts were busy with future publicity, while Rogers sat Elsa seemed to be flying for her life. with a curious look in his mild blue eyes regarding this strange mem ber of that great and honored body of men who direct a nation’s thought and whim. “You say that Katherine Chatfield died that night after you threatened to-sue her for your money?” asked Rogers. “Yes. I don’t call till after din ner, see? This guy—Elsa’s poppa— and his Mexican wife arrived while I was still talking with the old gal in her study. They don’t know m e now, but I don’t forget people. The Chatfield woman gets sore as heck when they come in, and jumps up and slams the door. I thought she was going to have a stroke. Maybe I’d have got my money out of her, if she hadn’t been so mad when she sees them out in the hall.” "Do you know anything about the death of Miss Chatfield?” “What do you mean, Hunt?” “I mean do you know of what, or how she died?” “I don’t know anything, except what I read in the papers the next day. They • said it was suicide. Why?” "Has it ever occurred to you that it might have been murder?” For a long moment George Rumble gazed at Rogers without speaking. Rog ers added: “When did you leave the bouse that, night?” : "About Tiintf o’clock.” "She was alive then?” “What are you getting at?” “The woman was murdered; can you tell us anything about it?” “I didn’t do it. I left her still alive. There wasn’t any reason for me to kill her. She owed me mon ey, and we had a row, and I threat ened to sue, and she tried to kick me out, and I says: ‘No you don’t, old girl; there ain’t no woman going to kick me out of any house. I’m a gentleman and -TH walk out - like one.’ ’’ We fell silent for a few minutes while overhead in 'the old pepper tree the little green parrakeets scolded and shrilled. “I wish you could help us out about that night, George,” observed Rogers casually. “I wish I could too. Hunt.” "Did. anything arouse your suspi cions while; you were there; any thing that would lead you to believe that Miss Chatfield was about to be murdered?” "No-o. I guess not. You see it’s a year and a half, almost, since that happened; and the thing I re member, of course, ,is the row I. had with her.” Conversation lagged; we had ex hausted all that was obvious in the affair. — "Do you know where Elsa is?" Rogers inquired of a "sudden. . . "JUl I know is. that some guy—a Mexi who . speaks English—said when I first came out that she had gone out horseback riding.” “Alone?” "I didn’t ask.” We had had our talk with George Rumble; the explanation of the pic ture in the rotogravure section had been made, and I was ready to re turn to town. But Rogers was in clined to linger, although we had discovered that neither Sam Chat field nor Berta was at home and there seemed no object in remain- tog. “You don’t know, of course, when Elsa is expected back?” inquired Rogers of Rumble. "No, I don’t, Hunt” Rogers got up from the patio bench and began a leisurely exami nation of tbe flowers and the riot of tropical shrubbery. Finally he pushed open an old grilled gate- which led to a graveled courtyard, or bare plaza. The huge house formed one side of the open square. A long low line of adobe buildings with barred windows housed the of fice of the ranch and tbe store houses, a third side .was the living quarters of the ranch workers, the fourth that of the stables. I followed Rogers, leaving Rum ble sitting alone, smoking a brown paper cigarette in solitude. As we sauntered toward the stables, the actions of a man in the courtyard, near a gate which opened upon the fields of the rancho, drew our atten tion. He was stooping above the form of a brown dog lying on the ground. As we drew near he emp tied the contents of a bottle upon a dirty rag and held it to the dog’s nose, and the dog quivered slightly as if from a chill. “The dog is old,” said Rogers in Spanish. “Very old, sir,” the man replied, looking up sadly. “It is best that he should die now, sir.” He caught a whiff of something and turned his head away. "Chloroform,” I said to Rogers. "Yes,” he answered, and stooped to pick up the empty bottle the man had discarded. “He’ll die quickly," he said to the executioner. “Yes, sir. Senora Chatfield would not have him shot. She said this was merciful.” “The senora gave you the drug?” "Yes, sir. Do you think the dog is dead, sir?” ' “Not yet, but soon.” While I was standing there, gaz ing 'at this odd scene, my ears picked up the sound , of hoof beats. For a moment or two their source was not apparent. I walked through the gate and out into the open away from tbe stables. Rogers followed me. Across the wide fields along an unpaved ranch roadway leading to the house, came pouncing a horse and rider as if in a tremendous hur ry to arrive. A hundred yards or so behind was a second horseman following in the wake of the other. As they came nearer in-their mad race, I made out the figure of Elsa astride the leading horse, and on the other Chesebro. Elsa seemed to be flying for her life; she was leaning far over the neck of her mount and applying a short quirt in vicious mechanical strokes, her arm rising and falling as. if geared to the flying hoofs of her horse. They drew rapidly toward u* Elsa, looking back over her shou< der, of a sudden sat erect and reinep in Ker horse. There was something very intent about her ever-* action. She had not discovered us, stand ing as we were beside the huge wheel of an old oxcart. She was in tent upon Chesebro now reining up! at her side. She sat quietly astride her horse which, with heaving flanks, was uneasy and nervous alter the run. Rogers grunted half in astonish ment at something, half in *vaming to me; he seemed to sense what was about to happen. For there was something deadly in Elsa’s firmly seated figure, in the way she held herself in readiness.' Ckese- bro’s restless horse sidled close to Elsa’s. Chesebro’s hand was extend ed as if in expostulation, in pro test, in appeal to an iron some thing in Elsa. It was all too apparent now that Elsa had not so much been flying for her life as running away from a situation that bad angered her, and had now thought better of it and was decided upon action. That ac tion was so swift, so startling and so cruel that I -gasped, scarcely, able as I was to follow the figure that stiffened in the stirrups, the arm that rose and fell like lightning. The lash of the short quirt which Elsa only a few moments before had used upon her horse struck Chesebro across the face. I still can remember the sound of it, can. see the white line it left along his fat cheek. Elsa’s horse reared. She clung to the saddle without touching the pommel, so intent was’she upon the object of her wrath. Chese bro’s ho/se whirled about, but didn’t bolt; the man was dazed, bewil dered by tbe blow.

With an estimated five million men in the army camps in this country and between two aud three million in foreign lands, we are beginning to wonder who is going to feed the army, war workers and politicians.

They own a model “ H; John Deere Tractor, and the crops harvested were as follows: Corn if, 100 bushels, 22 bales of cotton, 115 bushels of sweet pota toes, 50 bushels of Irish potatoes. They have raised five calves, four heifers and one male. Ijames’ wife and daughter, Iler Rucker, and daughter in-law Marjorie Ijamest canned 1200 quarts of fruit. The crop no doubt would have been more but had unfavorable season for working them. On account of rains in the spring, and extreme dry weather in later growing seas on, seveial acres made a complete failure.

Rather, Iet as feel that, in this period of rapid change and vast turmoil, it is up to those of os at home to retain those well-be-loved traditions so tvpical of the American way of life . . . to preserve them ao far as humanly pos-. posible. so that those now fighting may return to the . good and friendly things which they • cherish, and of which none are more characteristic, or more important, than the Christmas season.

'^JEW YORK.—A little more than ' a year ago, on a cold wet night, a transport was making ready. At the dock a parked car waited. When Mrs. Patton Cioet slip p e d A nd Follows H er away at 3 Own Preteription a- m-car was still there, the last thing George S. Pah ton Jr., the commanding general, saw as he left for a secret ren dezvous in Africa. His wife, he knew, waited inside the car. Now Mrs. Patton broadcasts over short wave to the women of France, announcing herself as the wife of a man in the service. She has earned laurels at that job since the day in 1940 when Boston socialite Beatrice Ayer, of the American Woolen company Ayers, married a hell- for-leather young cavalry lieu tenant. Beatrice Ayer Patton likes the army. In n o: other career except the ministry, she says, can a wife be so helpful. When her bright-eyed roaring general used to give his men those famous pep talks, she listened cn the sidelines to report reactions. At dinner parties rite sometimes reads aloud from the poems the gen eral so surprisingly writes. She herself had authored a best-selling novel, “Blood of the Sharks,” and a volume of Ha waiian legends. She and the general like to cruise in their 60-foot schooner the If and When. They like to ride; their old farm house at Hamilton, Mass., is full of horse show ribbons. One son is in West Point; two daughters . are married into the army. Mrs. Patton advises army wives not to listen to rumors, to write cheer ful letter's and to keep busy with war work. A USTRALIANS, grumbling cheer- fully under their wartime scar cities, often turn a critical eye toward distant Scotland. Scotland /. Oar J J E f i E Bow letandIekes ston e D ed- Rolled Into One J?an a“d Dedman has given them so many broad Scotch “Nos” they wonder how he can have any left. Dedman is minister for war organization of industry. More, than any other of Prime Min ister Curtin’s aids, he has nailed down the commonwealth’s “aus terity program.” But he has also managed to preserve the fabric of civilian industry. And this is true even though he has reduced all industry, eliminated many non-essential plants and put enough Australians to equal 14,000,000 Americans on a popu lation basis into direct war work. When the First World war started, Dedman was studying at Edinburg university, and figured to teach en gineering. He got to Gallipoli, Egypt, Iraq, India, France, was wounded, invented a rifle grenade, won a captaincy, and afterward shipped to Australia figuring to be a farmer. But shortly he was in politics up to his neck. He organ ized the milk producers of Victoria, became a leading Laborite and a member of parliament. Nowadays, to help in his tough job, he studies economics at Melbourne university, keeps healthy by rowing, walking and riding. *----- T HOSE Russian divorce rules, though tempered, do not bring out the Darby and Joan in every pair, but the Litvinoifs keep comfort- u v z j ably togeth-M a n yH a o eT eh ed cr no mat_ Bat the Litvinoffs ter where R em ain T og ether they ride on* the Soviets’ diplomatic see-saw.

CHRIST’S NEW COMMANDMENT LESSON TEXT-Mark 12:28-34; Iohn 13: 34, 35; 15:10-14.GOLDEN TEm1-A new commandment I give unto you. That ye love one another: as I have loved you, that ye also love om another.—John 13:34. The "new commandment" of love which Christ gave was not new in the sense of then first being known, but new in its application (John 13:34). Only since Christ had coma did men know how to love in truth. This commandment of love was also first in time, being given be fore the Ten Commandments (see Lev. 19:18). Then, too, it declared the fundamental of all spiritual life, the first thing man needed to know, that God is love. It also must take first place In man’s thinking, for even as the Dec alogue (Ten Commandments) is the heart of all moral law, so love for God and our fellow man is that which makes the Decalogue effec tive in our lives. Love and obedi ence go together (John 15:10). Our lesson teaches us four things— I. Love God (Mark 12:28-30). Because “God is love” (I John 4:8) He desires man’s perfect love toward Him. Because the essence of His being is love, He loves us, and enables us to love Him. There is more here than a com mandment or the performing of a duty. There is the recognition of a controlling principle of all life. In a day of multiplication of powerful machines and organizations, when man is “power conscious” in an un usual way, it is well to recall that the greatest power in all the world is the power of love. Then let us not forget that all true love should rest upon fellow ship with God. It has no real foun dation if it does not. D. Love Tour Neighbor (Mark 12:31-34). Everything about our relationship to Christ and to God expresses it self in our living. No spiritual truth is simply to be admired, or kept on a shelf as a cherished possession. It is to be put to work in the affairs of life. Love for God means love for our neighbor. It we do not love our neighbor (and that means our fellow man—Luke 10:25-42) how then does the love of God abide in our hearts? It is worthy of note that the rec ognition and appreciation of this truth on the part of the scribe brought him near to the kingdom of God, but not into it. He was “not far from,” but he was not in it. It is terrifying to think how close men may come to entering without doing so. Reader, have you entered into eternal life through Jesus Christ? III. Love Tour Brethren (John 13:34, 35). Here we come within the circle of believers and see that the distinc tive thing about their fellowship should be love for one another. The old commandment of love be comes a new one because Christ shows that the measure of that love is to be His great love for us. How did Christ love us? With a perfect, unselfish and thoughtful devotion, which so deeply desired the very most and best for us that He was willing to lay down His holy life as our Saviour from sin. The thing which marked the early church with glorious distinction was that in a world that hated, they loved one another, and in a world that killed and destroyed, they were even willing to die for their breth ren. Tertullian of Carthage (Tu nis) said, in the second century, that the enemies of Christianity said of the Christians, “See how they love one another.” IV. Love is Obedient, Joyful and Sacrificial (John 15:10-14). Love is pot an impulsive, erratic movement of man’s nature which tries to make up for neglect and un kindness by occasional displays of generosity and thoughtfulness. No indeed. Love walks the straight and steady way of obedience to God’s commandments. Keeping God’s law is not accom plished by reading it, or talking about it, or even learning- it by heart, but by definitely practicing its precepts. This brings joy into our lives the real and perfect joy of Christ. How little we appreciate what this means. Our fellowship with the Lord calls for obedience and sacrifice, but that is not a burdensome, dull, distressing experience. It is a joy ful one. Who counts it a trial to do that which pleases a loved one? Do we really love God? Then we will rejoice in our response to His will, yes, in any possible act of .devotion. Love draws no limiting line be yond which it will not go. Love says: “I count not my life dear, n in giving it I m ay bring deliverance to my friends.” We shall not question His guid ance nor blush to own His name, even though the testimony may mean our death. This we shall do for Christ’s sake, and for the sake ol a suffering humanity. BETTER DRESSMAKING Sfafll VttfOi Speaxt SOW XAANY women are learning to sew as a conservation meas ure. It is a way to make spare minutes count. They are finding incidentally that dressmaking is as much fun as any other craft. If one has, or can beg, borrow or buy, a sewing machine, all the other equipment is inexpensive and most of it has other uses as well.One of the first things that the beginner learns is Uie Importance of pressing. It begins as soon as the first seam is sewn. She may acquire pressing irons for special purposes later, but whatever type of iron serves for the family laundry also does very well for dressmaking.

It is smooth work with the Iron when she tucks them under a shoulder or inside a Sleeve. The sleeve form cushion and the tailors' pressing form are easy to make. The latter is often called a ham cushion because that is the shape of it The covering should be of heavy muslin or other firmly woven cotton goods. The cover for the sleeve form may: be* cut by a tight sleeve pattern with all extra fullness taken out The cushion should be stuffed very tightly. A center core of flat layers of newspaper is sometimes used for the large cushion. COtton or small bits of clean rags may be used for the rest of the stuffing. «• • • NOTE-This drawing is from Mrs. Spears' latest book, BEOTBR DRESSMAKING.

Ih e Jops w ere wrong. Cutting off our rubber supply in the Pacific didn’t take us out of the war—or even slow us up. For Government, the Rubber Director, the rubber in dustry, and the petroleum, chemical, and alcohol indus tries pooled their patents and ideas, worked together, and accomplished the seemingly impossible. Today, there is no shadow of a doubt that our planes will continue to fly, our ships to sail, our tanks to rolL For America now has nearly enough rubber to m eet our essential needs! The Amweftn people saw the new synthetic rubber plants spring up like mushrooms. They heard of large-scale production of synthetic rubber. And they applauded. Un fortunately, they also jumped Io the conclusion that they could stop worrying about tiresl It is true that the RUBBER supply crisis is past. But the long-expected TIRE shortage is with us! “But,” you may say, “how can this be when thou sands of tons of Govemmmt synthetic rubber are bring, made. . . when such a tremendous tonnage of rubber prod ucts is being turned out, as well as more airplane and truck tires than ever before.” One reason is that—as the Baruch Committee fore saw—few tires could be manufactured until our synthetic rubber supply was well on the way. This resulted in mil lions of tires going out of use at a time when there were no replacements. Meanwhile, tires left in service have less mileage in them, and prewar inventories are gone. An«rfli»r reason is that our military needs are far greater than anyone anticipated. Also, the rubber companies are using a lot of their machinery and manpower to turn out life rafts, bullet-sealing fuel tanks, and hundreds, of otfamr urgently-needed army and navy products, in addition to tires.. And you should know that half of today’s require ments are for large-size, heavy-duty bus, truck, artillery, airplane, and combat tires, requiring much more labor and Wifttftriftla tliftn peacetime products. Finally, the tire industry, like every industry today, is feeling the manpower shortage, and there just aren’t enough hands for the job. These problems will be overcome when our enemies are overcome. Meanwhile, we want to put our cards face ’ up on the table. ! lWetVe told you frankly toky there is a serious tire riiortage. Now we want you, and every other American who owns a set iff tires, to know that this country’s trans portation system can still suffer a serious blow. . . unless you make it your personal duty to take care of the tires you now own. Do no unnecessary driving. Lhre up to the Government regulation—don’t exceed SS miles an hour. Keep your tires inflated up to recommended pressure, and check them every week. Avoid hitting holes in the road, or bruising your tires on oirbs or stones. Don’t start or stop suddenly. Slow down for sharp comers. See that your wheels and axles are in line. Switch your tires from wheel to wheel every five thousand miles, and have them inspected regularly for re moval of foreign objects and repair of cuts. And... most important of all... recap your tires as soon as they become smooth. HOW GOOD ARE PASSENGER CAR TIRES OF SYNTHETIC RUBBER? It may be a long time before all civilians can get syn thetic rubber tires. Meanwhile, if you should be one of the few who do get them, you will want this information: Synthetic rubber tires for passenger cars are good tires, and will give you satisfactory service if you take care of them. You should not H im lr of synthetic rubber tires as fat- proved tires... but as emergency tires. And remember that they have not yet had time to prove what they can do. • It is beside the point to theorize on how they would react to the phenomenally high speeds of prewar days. Every patriotic American knows that tire treads. . . ad tire treads ... wear but faster at high speeds, and so drives at today’s recommended speed of 85 miles an hour. As tune goes on, we will Ieam more about the effects of under-inflation of rough roads, and of other abuses. They damage off tires. Indications are that they do pro portionately more harm to synthetic rubber tires. Meanwhile, all tires are rationed to you in trust for the nation, and it is your duty to take every possible care of them, to avoid misuse and pre vent abuse. As experience teaches us more and more about syn thetic rubber tires, we will pass the information along to you. Meantime, play safe. Be careful! If you use synthetic rubber tubes, be sure they are properly installed. They should be put into the tire, then inflated, deflated, and inflated again. And they should never be mounted on rusty rims. TRUCK AND BUS TIRES ARE A DIFFERENT STORY Trudc and bus tires, bring larger and heavier, generate more heat. They are given long, hard usage on all kinds of highways. They are all too frequently overloaded. Frankly, today’s synthetic rubber bus and track tires win not stand the abuse that prewar tires would stand, es pecially overloading. Ffogress is bring made drily—but overloading which would have damaged a prewar tire can SiuntodaytSqnitiietictirK The H re Indnstry Is doing Its utmost to solve • the serious problem of providing the nation’s trucks and buses with satisfactory tires In suffi cient quantities. | But until this problem is solved, a dangerous threat exists to America’s most vital transportation.

N. C If right were sought as pleasure is, What sparkling gems there’d be; Every rock would turn to gold - And gleam from bill to sea. The tares would turn to golden wheat, The peach would fraught the thorn; The woods would be an orchard vast, Broomstraw would turn to corn. The baneful briars that choke the crops, Would bear the sweetest berries: The hedges and the worthless vines Would smile with grapes and cherries. I wrote this little poem many years ago in my youthful days. It tells ft wonderful truth. If right were sought by the human family as pleasure-is we would scarcely see a barren life. Even those with little talents and poor opportuni ties would be fruitful In godliness, honesty, uprightness, sobriety, be auty of character, splendor of man. hood and womanhood, usefulness and goodness. Men of all walks of life would shine in life and soul for God. They would live great and worthwhile lives Homes would be peaceful, happy, lovely and hea venly. As the different membarsi of the family go forth in the world, they would be pure in aim. plan and purpose, as they would have God with them. If all men would seek right in all things as they seek pleasure in sin and wickedness, the dessert of evil would be turned into a beauti ful, fruitful garden. Yes, the des ert of wickedness would blossom like the rose. The knowledge of the Lord would cover the earth as the waters covet the sea. The hu man heart craves pleasure or some thing that will really satisfy the in most life, hut it is sought hy the vast majority along the lines of evil, sin and wickedness. The dev H deceivts mankind by making them think that pleasure and satis faction is to be found -outside of the realm of godliness and holiness, hence their search along every im aginable line of evil, worldliness, iniquity and wickedness for the peail they so much desire. How. ever, the real pearl of pleasure, joy and hapoiness is only found in ri ghteousness. This is of God. To truly seek right is to truly seek God. And God turns tha unfruit ful life into fruitfulnrss, and the wasted, depraved, ruined life into glorious beauty, success and vic tory. Amen Uqaor For Miners When John L.

Cmlian Workers Badly Wanted at Norfolk The Navv has announced that a critical labor shortage at the Nor. folk Navy Yard is slowing import ant naval construction, and a cam paign to secure hundreds of civil ian workers in this section is under way. More than 11,000 men and women are needed at the Ports mouth, Virginia Yard to combat the shortage. Automobile Mecban ics for duty as Outside Machinists, Boilermakers, Coppersmiths, Calk- ers and Chippers, Electricians, Hel per Trainees, Senior Laborers are badly needed. Mr Mero, a specially designated representative of the Fourth U, S. Civil Service Region is in charge of recruiting and can be reached at Navy Recruiting Office, Salisbury, N. C., on any day of the week. Au immediate appointment is of fered all qualified workers plus free transportation and meal tickets il the authorized travel requires six or more hours during customerv meal times. To complete the pic ture, thousands of all types of hou sing facilities bave been completeJ in Norfolk and vicinity to bouse the new workers who go to work at the Yard. Pav ranges from 58c. an hour for Senior Laborersand Mechanic Lear ners to ji.26 for the highly skilled trades, with time[atid a half for overtime over forty hours per week Women as well as men will be em ployed. No applications will t>e accepted however, from persons already us ing their highest skills in essential war work, Mr. Mero announced. Persons who can transfer from non. essential work, are particularly sought. Arrogant Job Holders Harold Ickes, secretary of the interior, solid fuels administrator, and known by other names and ti tles- most of which cannot appear in the public prints -told an offic ial congressional committee the oth er day that: “ We are tired to death of wast* ing public funds and public time in appearing before useless and fruit, less committees of investigation.” He, in common with all other New Deal Bureaucrats, bolds him self above the Congress of the Uni ted States. He hasn’t time to be “bothered” with what Congress consider, it its duty to do. He and his brother bureaucrats are too busy “running' the United States to pay anv attention to the elected representatives of the people who ate charged directly by the Consti- tntion and the people with the re sponsibility of "running” the Uni ted States. In fact, Ickes is just about as ar.' rogont as those coddled Japs in the TuIe internment camp! Dizzy Circle. Experts explain the tire situa tion as a series of bottlenecks, which were always bad for tires. First, there was no rubber.

Then they will Fnd a synthetic for leather but in the interim equip ment and- man power will be 'gone. It all .goes back ,to bottlenecks. It’s enough to drive a person to the bottle, but headed that way he finds there is a liquor shortage. It’s not strange that so many people are afflicted with d'zzy spells —Char lotte Observer Prophetic Words [Lend-Lease Qoiz Sifts Charge It Is Hnrting Fanners In the ligh.t of the trends in Washington todav, it is interesting to look backward a warning given to America a decade ago by the governor of one of the great states of the Union: In his inaugural address, this governor said: There is a present dangerous tendency to forget a fundamental of power at the top of a govern, mental of American democracy— the tendency to encourage cousola tion of power at the top of a gov ernmental structure alien to onr svstem and more closely akin to dictatorship or the central commit tee of a communist regime. We have met difficulties before this and have solved them in accordance with the basic theories of repre sentative democracy Let us not at this time pursue the ea«y road of centralization of authority, lest some day we discover too late that onr liberties have disap neared.” And, in one of his radio address, es, the governor again touched up on his basic th^me through which be was appealing for election say ing: ‘ It was clear to the farmers of onr Constitution . . . that any ad. ministration attempting to make all laws for the whole nation . . . would inevitably result at some fu. ture time in a dissolution of the union itself. “ The doctrine of regulation and ligislation bv master minds has been too glaringly apparent in Washington during the.last ten years . . . To bring about govern ment t.y oligarchy masquerading as authority and control be centra lized in onr national government ” The governor, who.uttered these prophetic words was Franklin D. Roosevelt Job For Suckers Some of the soft beaded among Americans are worrying about how soon after the war America can go about “rebuilding” Germany and Tapan. These funny people make a great show of tolerance, iiberal- ism and brotherhood. They are al so quite nauseating Perhaps the best answers to their proposal .wonld be to send a boat load of these dear people to Ger many after the war and give them personally the job of. rebuilding Hitler s house, destoyed in one of the recent raids on Berlin. Thev could' do this with tUeir own funds and materials, prefer aole under the watchful eye and waiting whip of HIMMLER. That done, they might ask HITLER when he planned to rebuild Po land, Greece, Norway, Belgium, Denmark and the cities of England that be blasted —Charlotte Obser ver. Washington, D. C —The Senate A- gricultare Committe has voted to investigate charges that bureaacrats are building up foreign agriculture and that fertilizer is bring chipped to England while American farmere face a critical shortage Senator Smith (D ) of South Caro lina. chairman,' was authorized to name a five man subcommittee to aoestion high Admin stralion officials as well as otherwise to investigate the charges The inquiry into charges that huge amount of money are being used to provide farm machinery for pro duction of food in other countries at the expense of the American farm ers post war'position was made r n demand of Senator Aiken (R) of Vermont. ’’This is the most serious question we have,” he said, “I understand contracts have been made for pur< chase of South American crops over a period of years.” They are bringing in low-grade cotton from India right now and I’m having a fuss about it.” Senator Bankhead (I).), of Alabama "I understand they shipped $2,- 000,000 worth of machinery to Cuba for rice growing,” said Senator El- Iender (D.t. of Louisiana. Smith read a letter from War Pood Administration Marvin Jones stating that Amercan potash is being snipped to Great Britain because it would save shipping space by increas- creasing British food production at home. Jones said that because of this, potash available to American farmers will be cnt 10 per cent. Smith Red a letter from W. H. Farmers, of Anderson, S. C., stating that while we are shipping potash to Great Britain that country could get it from Russia, Palestine or Spain. "In other words” said Senator jmitb. "we are shipping potash to Great Britain underLend Lease and she won’t have to pay for it. Then we are importing potash from other countries .and paying for it.” Jones, in his letter, said that every effort is being made to arrange ship ments of potash to Great Britain from Spain and Russia, C. B. Baldwin, who helped the Farm Security Administration spent almost a billion dollars, much of which was wasnted on "collective farming” projects, is being sent to Italy as area director of Economic Operations for Italy. That is one of Italy’s penalties for joining the Axis. The OPA is now telling us how many stitches we may have in our underwear. Ain’t nothing sacred? Land posters for sale here. The OPA’s Bull Bull Somebody ought to tell the OPA the difference between a steer £.nd a bull. In a recent letter, Andrew R. Butler, a cattle raiser, of Blairstown N. J., was toH that bis “ request on .the killing of steers cannot be grant, ed. It is contrary to the rules of OPA Tbe remaining 50 bead must be kept for breeding purposes.” K EEPO N WITH WM BONDS Constructive Policy The tide of resentment against the New Deal is still running strong, as evidenced by Republican successes in the recently held, special elections, and bidB fair to sweep the present Administration from power in the next national contest.In the face of such a probability the accomplishments of the GOP Mackinac Island conference, held last September, give a line on the type of government the Uepoblicans will offer the people. Two important resolutions were a* dopsed 8t that historic meeting. One, a broad statement-of policy on for. eign affairs which commits this na< tions to collaboration with other na tions without sacrificing our sover eignty. TbeotheJ a comprehensive domestic resolvtion which is our opinion has not been sufficiently a nalyzed. Under its terms the Republican Party would further the following domestic program: 1. Restoration of Sta es Rights. 2. .Economy in government and an end to bureaucratic regulation and decree. Equality of opportunity for all Americans regardless of race, color or creed, in the economic, education al, political, and military life of the nation.4 Increased production and im proved distribution of food, under the direction of a single agency.5 .Fair prices for agricultural pro duction in the postwar period; en couragement of crop production and t e use of agricultural products in industry. 6 Maximum freedom of opera* tion by the American farmer.7 The right of th e American workingman to bargain collectively 1 brough agents of his own tree choice8 Fullest provisions for the reha bilitation and employment of men and women of the armed forces, Temporary help to be granted where necessary. 9 Preservation to our people of all freedoms, based on individual li< berty, the. independence of Stateand local government, and the independ ence of Congress and the Courts.

Not Even Smart Politics The deeper the Ways and Moans Committee delves into the Treasury tax program the more obvious it be comes that the measure was not de signed primarily to raise revenue or to curb inflation, but to get votes. Its first purpose is to unbroaden the tax base—to dimnish the num ber of voters wh< contribute direct ly and consciously to the Government support. By merging the Victory tax into the iucome tax it would completely relieve 9.000.000 voters of their obligation to pay direct taxes. Then through the operations of a ‘refundable tax*’—the Treasury’s pet name for forced sayings—it would decease the ne contributions or 14 - 000 more taxpayers. In all. 23.000 ,. 000 . out of a total of 43,000 000 . would get their hacks scratched in the year of the fourth-term cam. paign. But we doubt that this clever lit. tie trick will work Those 23,000.000 taxpayers are not as dumb as Mr. Morgenthau thinks. They under- stand simple arithmentic. They know that a Government borrowing two-thirds of the monev it is spend ing is piling op a mortgage against their future. They know that when their backs are being scratched with the other The people understand the workings of hidden taxes They see through the political hokum of soaking the rich and socking the corporations—knowing that in the end the bills are paid by the rank and file in higher prices and lower wages—that, as President Roosevelt himself said, “taxes are.paid in the sweat of every man who labors.” Mr. Morgenthau seems to have forgotten what Abe Lincoln said: You can’t fool all (he people all the time.” —Washington (D.

Out of that he had to repair his bike, but usually he could manage a dime or a nickle, for the Empire theater. Marvelous movies, and a fat little singer named Brown! Brown sat on a piano long before Helen Morgan, and in 1911 he was forever singing Alexander’s Ragtime Band. "Come on and hear! Come on and hear!” Irving Berlin, himself only 23 then, marked a whole high school generation with that en during song. Other songs of his marked other generations, and two wars. And now “My Brit ish Baddy” is melodic quick sil ver in London where Berlin’s “This Is the Army” repeats its American snccess. Ever since he rose above the job of singing waiter, Berlin has com posed in F sharp. That is a toughie, six black keys hard to pick out, and only two easy white fellows. But it hasn't lowered output of quality. And at 55, more nearly than any rival, he is the Stephen Poster of this day. Lnckier than Foster, he is rich. Instead of the 33 cents his first song earned, each one now nets baskets full of bills. His first wife died after his first snccess, but for 17 pleasant years he has been married to Ellin, daughter of the late, rococo Clarence H. Mackay. They have three girls. He is a gloomy self-critic and his own list of his best 11 leaves out “Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning," and “God Bless Amer ica.” Cass high students of 1911 will be glad, however, to learn that it includes “Alexander.” R e a l ‘D e v i l D o g s ’ o n B o u g a i n v i l l e TF Hubert Scott-Paine had been a 1 little quicker at blocking upper cuts, maybe the Nazis would be do ing better these days on the Eng- Turned Face A w ay “ r ^ From Uppercuts to boats find Build Speedy Boats rouSh SoiI1S against the British MTBs and MGBs, all Scott- Paine-designed. And he turned to such work only after a boxing tour with a French circus convinced him he was in a business in which a man rose only to fall again. The turn, lncky for Britain, was made before the last war. First off Scott-Paine designed aircraft and through the war years be Iayed the foundation of a fortune so sizeable that 15 years ago he conld plan to loaf the rest of his born days. He had a wife, a son, three daugh ters to enjoy them. About then, however, he came Upon a derelict Southampton ship yard, irresistible to a man who had always wanted to build a better ma rine engine. He set to work with the help of various men, including one long-jawed fellow called Shaw. This was really the incredible Lawrence of Arabia. The Southampton yard after a lime produced the fastest single- engined speedboat in the world. And in this war it sets the pat tern for those terrific little motor torpedo and gun boats flying the Union Jack under Nazi noses. There will be no second retire ment for Scott-Paine for a while. Be isn’t, of course, at retirement age even now. He is 'only 53. The words “Devil Dogs” have been a nickname for marines for many ,years. Today real dogs are performing combat tasks for the marines.

That hope must be thin today, with 9,000,000 drafted alien laborers in the country and Germany's own sons dying in far-away battle. Sir Herbert heads np the In tergovernmental Committee on Refugees. When peace eomes he will direct and attempt to shift as nearly as possible back to their own homes 30,000,000 men, women and children up rooted by the war the Nazis forced upon Europe. This isn’t a bureaucrat’s job, but it is probably one for a man who knows all the ways of snipping bu reaucracy’s red tape and on that count Emerson qualifies. He triumphed over the maze ot civil service to become one of In dia’s chief administrators. He was Britain’s top man in forested Bashahr, and again in fertile Mandi, and finally governor of all the Pun jab with its five enriching rivers and its 30,000,000 or more souls. He has had his present post for nearly four years. About then he came over here to consult with Washington, and turned out to be medium tall, fairly heavy, with a direct quizzical gaze, and a trick of taking off his glasses and twiddling them as he talked.

Everybody talks these days about what kind of a world we shall have after the war. There are two kinds of fellows to watch out for: One kind says we are going to have a heaven on earth; the other kind says the world is going to pot. They are like the two sides of an electric switch—one all light and the other all darkness. But life doesn’t work that way. I think we are going to be some where in between—and the nature of that in-betweenness is going to depend on how well we—all of us— think and plan as we go along. But a lot of what passes for post war planning” is really “post-war wishing.” The way to tell the dif ference is this: Does the scheme assume that human nature will be different after the war? If it does, it’s post-war wishing. Human Race Plods On. The human race has been around for a couple of million years. I don’t know how many thousand wars it has fought during that time. But the human race keeps plodding along in the same sort of direction. It has a powerful continuity about it. This war is not going to upset all that. We can do something to change our method of thinking, and that is very important. But changing the nature of us humans is something else again. So, when a plan says that after this war is over everybody is going to be a good neighbor and a' nice fellow and so on, I think you can question that. “Well, even so,” say the wishful gazers, “it will be a wonderful world. Look at all the marvelous new inventions made during the war. Plastics, radar, synthetic rub ber, new light metals, helicopters, and all the rest. Won’t they make a bright new world?” I’m an optimist, too, but I like to ask questions. Which of those things was invented during the war? Answer: Not any of them. All rep resent great achievement; all have been highly developed under the pressure of war; but all were in vented and well started before the war. All the countries are fighting this war on prewar technologies. There have been improvements in processes, production methods, but not so much in fundamentals. Not Much That's New. Actually, not so very much has come along in the way of new inven tions during the war. And most of these embody refinements and adap tations rather than new principles. To my mind, it is an open question whether basic discovery has been helped or hindered by the war. But the wishful gazers are not discouraged. They are drawing and designing the most miracidous post war automobiles. They are paint ing lovely pictures of them. Some are made of transparent plastic and shaped like an egg. Others have a gadget where you attach helicopter blades or airplane wings and fly away to the office or to Honolulu. Wonderful! Everybody seems to be designing post-war cars except the automotive engineers. They are too busy mak ing weapons. Besides, they know that you can’t change faster than the customer will let you go. The public is the boss, and the wishes of the public can be learned only in the stress and strain of hard competition. Through that, the American motor companies pro duced the best cars in the world be fore the war, and will do so again after the war. Offhand, I would say that the post war car will look much more like an automobile than like an egg. It will steer with a wheel, rather than with radar. And it will continue, for a long time to come, to derive its power and strength chiefly from steel. ITie tendency will be toward a smaller, more finely built engine, burning a higher-octane fuel—more power in a smaller package. If you think it over, you will see why there cannot be revolutionary changes in familiar American mass- production articles immediately aft er the war. Most factories which used to make cars, refrigerators, washing machines, and the rest are now making the machinery of war. After the war, they must first be reconverted to peacetime produc tion, a huge task in itself, which must be accomplished as quickly as possible in order to provide em ployment and to make up the great shortages that have developed. Therefore, most of the post-war models, while improved in detail, will not differ radically from the last prewar models. Next, the new inventions, must go through the la borious, time - consuming testing which intervenes between the lab oratory, the sample, and practical utility.

It goes to fighting men on the seven seas, and it’s thrilling. Gertrude Lawrence went down to New York’s Seamen’s Church Institute on a bit ter Saturday morning recently, to sing and to chat with Burgess Mere- GERTRUDE LAWRENCE dith in London; said he: “Tell Paul ette I got her Christmas present.” Tried out on a local New York station, the program’s been a great success, and an important part of the hands-across-the-sea movement.

He’s concluded arrange ments with the state of Colorado to have a man walk a tight-wire across the Royal Gorge.

Isn’t he in ra dio?” “Vox Pop” was a popular . NBC show for nearly five years be fore it switched to CBS! Incidental ly, those two Vox Poppers should be decorated for the swell job they’re doing these days. Did you hear little Dickie Mono- han when he covered himself with glory on the CBS “Big Town” pro gram, playing a little blind boy whose dog was run over by gang sters? A Warner Bros, scout did, and promptly arranged to. interview Dickie—object, a screen test. — * — To John Charles Thomas falls the distinction of occupying Radio City’s famed Studio 8H, better known as the Toscanini studio, now that he is broadcasting his Sunday NBC program from New York for seven weeks, while making 21 Met Opera appearances. .

Homemak ers are writing in and asking for recipes which will give their fami lies “just some thing to satisfy the sweet tooth” —but that some thing must be sugar-saving. Now that jellies are rationed you may have to use what sugar you can get for putting up those juices you canned during summer for jelly —and that means there will be less sugar than before left for baking uses. Sugar substitutes can be util ized not only in cakes and cookies but desserts and icings. Many cake recipes, too, can be made with less sugar than they call for. Fruits-in-season now include cran berries which are perfectly deli cious in this steamed pudding: Steamed Cranberry Padding. (Serves 4) 2 caps fresh cranberries IH caps floor H teaspoon salt (4 teaspoon cinnamon M teaspoon cloves 14 teaspoon mace 2 teaspoons soda Vt cop hot water 14 cop molasses Mix flour, salt, spices and soda; cut cranberries in two and add to dry ingredients. Combine hot wa ter and molasses; blend with first mixture. Transfer to greased pud ding mold; cover and steam 214 hours. Unmold and serve with your favorite pudding sauce. Do chocolates satisfy the sweet tooth in your family? Here is a light, lovely dessert: Chocolate Puff Sooffle. (Serves 6) H 7-ounce package semi-sweet chocolate I cop milk 3 tablespoons sugar Pinch of salt I tablespoon vanilla 3 eggs Melt chocolate with milk in top of double boiler. Beat with egg beater until smooth.' Add sugar, salt, va nilla and unbeaten eggs; beat with egg beater I minute. Cover, and cook over boiling water 20 minutes without lifting cover. Remove from heat and serve immediately with cream. It is possible to make cakes with out any sugar at all, but better re sults can be achieved if some sugar is used in the cake. Too many all- syrup cakes have a coarse texture to which we are unaccustomed after years of light, fine-grained cakes. Here are suggestions which you can be proud to add to your wartime cookery collection: Lynn Says: Starve the Garbage Can! Pre cious vitamins lie right under neath the thin skin of carrots. Don’t pare, just scrub the vege table. The same Is true of potatoes. Scrub well and cook with skins on, then eat skins and all. Young beets can be cooked as other greens. Season and serve. You’ll be delighted. Tops of spring onions make wonderful seasoning. Celery tops are grand for soups, salads. Coarser parts of celery can be pureed for soup. Carrot and radish tops are at tractive for garnishes. Parsley and lettuce are more than garnish —they’re to be eaten. Check refrigerator every morn ing—and the bread box, too. Use every bit of leftover in that day’s meals. Lynn Chambers’ Point-Saving Menu Pan-Fried Liver and Bacon Baked Potato Spinach .

LUNDQUIST, D. D.Of Tne Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, Released by W estern New spaper Union. Lesson for December 19 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se« M cted and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. CHRIST THE FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW LESSON TEXT-Hebrews 1:1-3: Bomaas 10:4.10.GOLDEN TEXT—God . . . hath In these last days spoken unto us by his Son.—Hebrews 1:1,2. The center of all Christian think ing is the fact that God has revealed Himself to man. This revelation is found in the Bible, for it is the Word of God. That is why the command ments which we have studied in re cent weeks speak to us with such authority. They are not the expres sion of human opinion of how we should live. They are God’s com mand which we are to obey. The great and final revelation of God and His love was not the writ ten Word—the Bible—but the Living Word—His Son. The coming of Christ is our lesson for next week, on Christmas Sunday. But this week we want to learn a little more of what His coming into the world meant. He was— I. God’s Last Word (Heb. 1:1-3). Through the ages God had been speaking through the prophets, con stantly revealing Himself as a God of power, justice, holiness, truth and mercy. In different ways and at various times (v. I) He spoke through them, but always there was a pointing for ward to the One who should come. Abraham was called out to found the nation (Gen. 12), and Jacob the family or tribe (Gen. 49), in which He should come. He was to be a prophet like Moses (Deut. 18) and of the kingly house of Da vid (H Sam. 7). All the offerings of Leviticus spoke of His priestly service. Isaiah saw Him as both the reigning and the suffering Messiah (Isa. 53). All this was incomplete until He came; and when He did, He re vealed all the glory of God. He made the perfect and final sacrifice for sin, and sat down (His work was fin ished) at God’s right hand (the place of power). Let us be clear about this: in Christ God’s revelation is perfect and complete. We need look for nothing more. The claims of those who appear with a "new light” or some mysterious hidden power are so obviously untrue that we ought not to be at all interested. But not only is Christ God’s final Word, He is— H. God’s Best Word (Heb. 1:4-9). THe prophets and their messages thrill our souls and move us to more earnest living. But the Christ is our very life as well as our Re deemer. The angels are God’s messengers —mighty and magnificent beings, su perior in their way to man (Ps. 8:5). The early church made too much of angels (as do some groups today), but Protestantism of our day has made too little of them. They are great and powerful beings who minister on our behalf and who are honored in the loyal service they do for God. But when they stand beside the Son of God, it becomes evident that He holds a place of incomparable glory and majesty. He is the high est revelation of God, the best Word that God could have spoken to needy and sinful humanity. We do well to think of who Christ is and what He has done. Just in this passage from Hebrews we find that He is the express image of all of God’s glory; He is the upholder of all creation; He has the .place ,of honor and power at God’s right hand; He is the only begotten of the. Father; His throne has been estab lished forever, and so on. How well nigb unbelievable that this glorious One is also our Sa viour. This is stated in verse 3, but is developed -in our next point. m . God’s Saving Word (Rom. 10: 4-10). If sinful mem were only permitted to look on His glory it would be a great privilege, but it would not help him in his desire for holiness and eternal joy. There was a “great gulf fixed” between sinful man and a holy God until the Son of glory be came the God-man, when the eternal Word, became “flesh and dwelt among us” (Luke 2:14). Christ as our Saviour is the “end of the law” to the believer (v. 4), not in the sense that He. terminates the law by setting it aside, but by completing or fulfilling all of its re quirements. Just so the Christian is set free from the law, not in order that he may disobey it, but that he may keep it in the power and grace which Christ gives him. The Ten Com mandments are the law of life for the Christian because he loves the- Lord Jesus Christ and wants to obey Him. We do the things which the Decalogue require not to be saved thereby, but because we thereby honor the name of our Saviour. The unbeliever, struggling under the burden of sin, says, “How can I come to know Him?” and we find the answer in verses 8-10. It is “by faith.” IXfH ETHER it’s towel or pillow- “ • case, sdarf or cloth you are embroidering, it will be enhanced Oy these “true to life” garden favorites.. . .

Is cut off from the will of her Aunt Kitty, who died from an overdose of morphine.' Barry, an amatenr detective, and Hont Rogers, a professional sleuth, go to Maz- atlan, Mexico, on a cruise with Margaret and Dwight Nichols. Arriving there they find that Elsa and her party had preceded them by plane. They dine at the rancho of Elsa’s father, Sam Chatfleld, whom Rogers questions about his visit to his sister, Kitty, on the night she died. Later Elsa is seen by Barry and Rogers evidently flying for her life on horseback. Snddenly she dismounts and James Chesebro, a mine owner, reins np. Elsa strikes bim across the face with her quirt, again and again. CHAPTER VH But Elsa was not through with mm. A moment later when her horse dropped to all four feet, she came within striking distance, and again the quirt lashed out to cut Chesebro, across the shoulders this time. Chesebro was too dignified to run from her; an upraised arm to fend off the lightninglike quirt was his only defense. "Elsa!” I shouted, starting from our place beside the oxcart. “Elsa!” But she didn’t hear me. Chesebro was now rolling along the ground, alive to his danger but as yet un able to escape the lashing whip. "Elsa! Stop it! Stop it!” I shout ed, moving rapidly down upon her, Rogers at my heels. The rigid arm relaxed, the quirt fikiwiy fell from her nerveless fin gers, the quirt which later was to play so vital a part in our tragic story. The rage that had stirred Elsa to a frenzy melted quickly away. Rog ers released her and went to help Chesebro to his feet. Suddenly Elsa turned into my arms, soft and yield ing, trembling weakly. “Oh, Barry!” she said. A sob shook her body convulsively. “Oh, Barry—I said that someday I’d pull off his legs. But that’s not enough. I’m going to kill him instead!” Chesebro was put gently to bed in an enormous room furnished in an cient black walnut; the high ceiling and the great length and breadth of the room gave me the feeling al most of being in a cathedral. In an incredibly short time, con sidering that this was Mexico, the doctor arrived. “It is the heart, yes,” he said at last, speaking English with a strong rhythmic accent. “He’s had an at tack; it is light, but he shall re main in bed for several days. Why the face like this?” he inquired, in dicating the bruised flesh. “He did not fall on the face, no?” “There was an—argument, Doc tor Cruz,” Rogers replied slowly, "in which he was severely beaten. With a whip.” “Ah!” responded Doctor Cruz and shrugged his shoulders discreetly. I went into town with the doctor when he left that early afternoon. As I explained to Huntoon. Rogers, it was best that someone of us sought out Reed Barton, to tell him of what had happened. “You’re coming out again, of course, for the evening?” Rogers in quired. "Yes. I wouldn’t miss a fiesta. I don’t suppose Chesebro’s condition will make any difference in their plans.” “I think not.” George Rumble, lingering in the shade of a clump of bananas, came to life. "I believe I’ll go along with you. AU right is it, Doc?” he asked of Doctor Cruz. “You bet,” responded the Mexi can physician. And so we rode into town together. Doctor Cruz dropped me a few minutes later in a side street where over a doorway let into a glaring white wall was a sign bearing Chese- bro's name. It was the siesta hour, but I entered its comfortable shady interior where the heat of the day. apparently had not penetrated. A youthful Mexican sitting idly at a typewriter looked up, and got quick ly out of his chair. "A sus ordenes, senor,” he said. “Senor Barton; is he in?” I in quired in Spanish. “Si, senor; por esta puerta,” he said rapping gently, then opening the door into the inner office. Reed Barton sat with his feet upon the top of his desk, smoking a cigarette, and gazing dreamily out into a small patio where a fountain dripped and a ruby throated hum ming bird was busy among the flow ers. “Hello, old man,” I said. Reed took his feet from the desk, got slowly from his chair and dropped his cigarette into an ash tray. He held out his hand. “I dropped in just now to tell you some news.” "What news?” “I thought you ought to know about it. Chesebro’s had a heart attack. The doctor has put him to bed out at Sam Chatfield’s.” “What brought that on?” "Elsa beat him up quite badly with a whip a while ago; almost cut him to ribbons. The attack fol lowed.” “Well,” he said with surprisingly little show of interest, “it doesn’t mean anything to me, Barry, to know about it. Thank you. though, for your trouble.” “I don’t understand—” I began at this odd reception of the news I had for him. “It really doesn’t matter, Barry,” he amplified. “Chesebro and I are through. We’re quits. He’s kicked me out of his organization. I’ve been sitting here resting a bit after getting my stuff together, and thinking.” “You mean you’re fired?” “Yes.” “Why—what?” “Elsa, of course. The man Is mad, Barry. About her.” That evening at the rancho is ore that none of us who was present will ever forget, an evening not of full fiesta, but of gay and typical dances, the zapateados, an evening that ended so tragically. Chesebro was lying motionless in bed. Because of the painful injuries inflicted by the lash of Elsa’s whip, he did not turn his head when we came into the room, merely inquired quietly who we were. “I’m glad you came in,” he said from his pillow. “Sit down, won’t you?” “We’ll not stay,” Rogers told him, going up to the bedside and looking down upon the bandaged occupant. “Can we get you anything? Do any service for you, Chesebro?” “Thank you, no. I’m all right. I’ll be up and about in a few days.” He rested a moment before he con tinued. “They are very kind to me, both Sam and Senora Chat field. I couldn’t ask more devoted, thoughtful attention.” “Oh, I’m sure you’re well cared for,” I said. “It was a—;” I started to say something of the beating Elsa had given him, but paused, afraid to irritate his sensibilities. Chesebro waited, a moment for me to go on, then said; “I don’t She had gone mad with hatred of him. blame Elsa. I blame only myself for having underestimated Elsa’s capabilities.” “Elsa is,” began Rogers, a half- humorous note in his voice, “sur prisingly full of capabilities.” “Yes,” said Chesebro, matter-of- factly, “that’s true. But she didn’t know; she couldn’t have known that I was experiencing a little trouble with my heart—and I shouldn’t have done what I did. You find me very contrite, gentlemen. Elsa, I’m sure, will forgive me when she comes in to see me, as I’ve been promised later on she will do.” We said good night and withdrew from the huge, dimly lighted room where dark shadows in the far cor ners could have concealed a host of evil spirits. There was an odd, constrained si lence when we entered the living room, a slight hush of expectancy and a stiffening of the occupants in the chairs. Dwight and Margaret had arrived. Rumble was there, having come out with me from town. Sam and Berta were sitting with them. Elsa had not yet made her appearance, and Reed Barton came in a moment or two after we entered. He was dressed pic turesquely as a charro, the Mexican cowboy, and evidently was deter mined to have a part in the eve ning’s festivities. He wore a short leather jacket, a soft red tie, long leather pantaloons as tight as he could sit down in, bespangled with silver buttons and chains. I detected a look of disappoint ment in his face as he glanced around the room and did not find Elsa. Berta, dressed in black vel vet and heavily rouged, coquettish- Iy made a place for him beside herself, and indicated her husband with her fan, as if he were only waiting for the attention of all be fore saying something. •*I—” he began hesitantly. “I am suggesting something for this partic ular time—it is still early—which has nothing whatever to do with the evening’s festivities. They will fol. low. It will come as a surprise, I know; it will seem out of place, perhaps, to some of you. But it is something that seems to be neces sary.” Sam Chatfield was now well launched upon his little speech; there was earnestness upon his face, in his manner. “You all know, of course, of the death of my sister, Katherine, in California, now more than a year ago. At odd times since that occurrence there have been in timations that the authorities are not satisfied with the official find ings. I discover that among you there are two who are actively pros ecuting an inquiry into the circum stances surrounding Katherine’s death. “Since all of us here”—he looked around the room—“Elsa will be here shortly—knew her or had some deal ings, or association of some sort, with her, I shall ask Mr. Rogers to conduct an examination. I want him, and through him the authori ties in California, to be satisfied. Neither Berta nor I have been avail able for questioning hitherto, and I hope Mr. Rogers will not feel con strained, because we are his hosts, in questioning us. Of course, Mr. Chesebro cannot be with us, and is at present in no condition to undergo questioning, but that, perhaps, can be done later, if it has not already been done.” “Thank you, Mr. Chatfield. It is indeed a surprise. I had been hop ing soon to suggest that something like this be arranged. I’m sure that Mr. Madison will be grateful for this opportunity, now that the matter is, so to speak, out in the open. Of course,” he hesitated, looking in tently at Sam Chatfield, “there is in the death of your sister—or, for that matter, in the death of anyone else—a set of facts. We are un certain just what those facts are. The district attorney’s office doubts the validity of what purports to be facts in the Katherine Chatfield case. There was a stir in the doorway and Elsa entered the room, pausing on the threshold to survey us as we sat listening, solemn-faced and stiff ly, as if to a schoolmaster, while Rogers talked. She was always love ly; her hair of an almost golden sheen, the level gray eyes, the firm, erect carriage which was empha sized tonight by the costume she wore. She was dressed as a China Poblana. “Am I interrupting?” she asked from the threshold. “No, dear; come in,” said her father. “We were expecting you to join us.” He made a place for her at his side. A faint smile flitted across her face at the sight of Reed Barton, and she nodded to him, slightly aloof now, this person, who so ar dently had hoped that Reed would come like a caballero and sing love songs to her on the" deck of the Ori zaba. “I presume there is little need to do so, but perhaps it is best to re mind you all that Katherine Chat field died of an overdose of mor phine.” At Rogers’ words, Elsa, who had just sat down, lifted her head high, her nostrils opening wider as if she sniffed danger. “The overdose probably was much in excess,” continued Rogers easily, “of what she was accustomed tc take. In the circumstances only two conclusions are possible. Either she administered the overdose herself, in which case it was suicide. Or, it was given to her by someone de siring her death, either forcibly, or by the aid of some preliminary an esthetic administered quickly before she was aware of her danger—such as chloroform. In which latter case, of course, it is murder. “Mr. Chatfield quite recently told Barry Madison and me that both he and Mrs. Chatfield were spend ing the night at the house the night his sister died. Elsa, of course, was there. Some time ago Reed Barton informed me that, in the na ture of his work for Mr. Chesebro, he ran many personal errands for him, and that on this particular eve ning he had been instructed to de liver a book to her. “And I have just discovered in talking with George Rumble that he had been engaged to do some pub licity work for Miss Chatfield, and that on the evening of her death he was present in the house for a short time, that the two argued, and that he left threatening to sue he* for his money. “Dwight,” Rogers said, with a smile, “so far as I know, you and Margaret are the only ones here, excepting Barry Madison and my self, who have not been shown to have been present that night How about it? Are you keeping some thing to yourself?” Dwight Nichols shifted his crossed legs and tapped the ash from the. tip of his cigarette. “I believe I told you a long time ago. Hunt, that I might be accused of having a motive in Kitty Chat field’s slaying—if that’s what it was. I profited to the extent of a couple of hundred thousand dollars at her death, because of some property owned in joint tenancy. But there it ends. I didn’t happen to be at the house at any time that evening she died.” , (TO BE CONTINUED) FIRST-AID to the AILING HOUSE by Roger B. Whitman Roger B. Whlbaan—WNU Features. STAINED SINK Question: How can I clean brown spots from my sink? They have ap peared around the drain. Answer; The cure will depend somewhat on the nature of the stain. Try filling the sink with water— after you have finished with it for the evening—and mix in two cups or so of JaveUe water or some similar bleaching liquid containing chlorine; grocers usuaUy have two or three kinds in stock. Let it stand all night. If this does not work try continued rubbing with a scratchless cleaning powder made into a paste with kerosene; ammonia also would help. One of my readers had suc cess with a mixture of salt and lem on juice.. . . . Waxed Floors Question: My oak floors have been given several coats of a penetrating wax finish. What is the best way to clean soiled spots at the entrances to rooms and stairs? Is it advisable to use a non-rubbing wax to touch up the spots? ' Answe.r: The easiest way to clean the kind of floors you have is to moisten some cheesecloth with a Uquid wax (not the non-rubbing va riety); go over the floors with this, turning out a clean part of the cloth frequently. Polish with a thin coat of paste wax, allowing it to dry hard before polishing. You may be able to get a booklet on the care of floors from the manufacturer of your own particular finishing wax.. . . DAMAGE FROM OXAUC ACID Question: After removing varnish from a mahogany mirror frame, I stood the mirror in my bathtub while applying a solution of oxalic acid to the frame. When I attempted to clean the tub I found the acid had roughened and eaten into the porce- TWtgUiiinnKH Iain. Is there anything I can do to restore the tub to its original con dition? Answer: I am sorry to say that the damage to the porcelain finish on the tub is permanent. Never use a tub or sink for acid mixtures of this kind, as most acids have a tendency to destroy the porcelain finish, on plumbing fixtures.. . . Holes in Furniture Question: I have seen a substance used for filling the holes in antique furniture that gives good results. It is not as brittle as a shellac stick. I think that it is a combination of beeswax and something else, with color added. Do you know what it is? Answer: There are many differ ent substances; one of them is a mixture of fine sawdust or wood flour and varnish, with oil stain add ed to match the color of the wood. Wood putty, on sale at many of the better stocked paint stores, also is used for this type of work.. . . Attic Stairway Question: The stairway to our at tic starts inside the closet of one of the bedrooms and is not closed off by a door. The closet is cold in winter. The attic floor is insulated, and there are two small windows in this area. Should I put a door at the foot opening into the closet? Answer: A door in the closet may prove impractical; a hatch-type door at the top of the stair would be better. To avoid any .possible ac cumulation of moisture in the attic area above the insulation, it is ad visable to keep the attic windows open somewhat.* * *. Musty Odor Question: Our brick house on a lake is used on week-ends only. On opening it after an absence there is a strong musty odor. There is no basement. A four-foot space under the house is damp at times. Would insulation help? Answer; No; what you need is waterproofing. This should begin with a concrete floor under the house, for it is the dampness of that space under the floor that is making the trouble. Also, the space should be thoroughly ventilated. Continued dampness may be rotting the wood work; better make an inspection. S E W I N G C IR C L E N S 8 4 7 0s 6-14 yn. School Winner.

Higher prices tor your food and clothes? Separation from your husband? Sure, it has meant all those th in gs, som e s e r io u s an d some really trivial for a period when your actual safety is at stake. But has the war meant BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS to you? In many instances YES. The first stage of invasion has already pushed our casualties over the 100,000 mark. The gold stars which decorate thousands of our homes today are a challenge to the vast majority of us to do our best in the Third War Loan. No good American wants to see one more gold star added to the firmament of glory. We educate our youth for life, not for death. Xf they die, they die so that we might live.

IF I COULD PAINT AS ARTISTS DO Rev. Walter E. Ieenhour. Hiddenite. N. G If I could paint as artists do Who have a mightv skill, I’d like to paint a masterpiece And give the world a thrill. I’d paint the picture of a girl Like noble men admire— A natural womao like God makes Without the world’s attire. Sbe wouldn’t have a cigarette Stuck In between her lips, She wouldn’t drink beer nor dopes, Nor take her liquor tips. She wouldn’t be a movie star. Nor idler on the street; She would Indeed demand respect From all whom she should meet. Her hair, yo.i know, would be full length— No ugly, boyish bob; She wouldn’t be a powder puff, Her lips no paint would daub. She wouldn’t be the flapper sort With virtue thrown away; She wouldn’t be a butterfly— A simple flirt and gay. I’d picture her in neat apparel With honor on her brow; Her iace would be an index to Her character somehow, And she’d show the world around That womanhood is grand. When lived upon the highest plane That God for her has planned. She’d be a lifter to the world And leader in the right; She’d stand for her all that’s pure and good, And all that’s wrong she’d fight, Until the world around would say: ‘‘Thank God for womankind, Wbo points us to the royal way Where gems of life we find!"

Mrs. Barnhardtisa granddaugh ter of J. W. Felkerand the late Mrs. Felker, formerly of near Kappa The Troth Will O ot! The special House investigating committee under Representative Howard W. Smith (D) ot Virginia, which has just filed a 30-page re port on the illegal activities of the OPA1 represents one of many ser ies of damaging disclosures that should make everv American vow never again to put too much trust in one man, or gioup of men, in the executive branch of the Goy ernment. The committee detailed its find ings as follows: (1) Found in the files of formei OPA Counsel David Ginsberg ‘ a well devised and planned scheme to control tbe profits of American in dustrv by freezing them at t e level earned by the industry during the 1936-39 period, regardless of whetb er or not theie had been increases in the prices of prodncis since that time ” (2l The oower assumed by OPA to suspend the rights of individuals or businesses such as restaurants to receive rationed goods amounts to the taking of private property with, out due process of law. Suspen sion orders directed against mer chants require the "gniltv" busi ness man to display his ‘‘guilt" to the public at large in the same fa shion as convicts in medieval times were branded or mutilated for tbe puroose of drawing "public ridi cule and contempt ’* (3) The OPA violates the sane titv of the home through anv artnv army of enforcement agents "Tbe illegal, useless and conflict, ing'regulations promulgated by the OPA are creating such great con fusion that it is impossible for tbe average citizen to know how to comply,’’ the Congressional report said. "The committee believes that the facts here presented reveal practices which . . might conceiv ably lead to the undermining of onr basic Constitutional provisions for seperate and independent executive, legislative and judicial departments of govern mant. It follows that concentration of all three catagories into tbe hands of the executive branch with mere Iy a limited and circumscribed re view by the cour.s violates a basic principle of the Constitution and constitutes a dangerous approach to totalitarianism " Since a Democratic majority sig ned this report, it can hardly be termed "political," although - no Democrat can overlook or deny the fact that the original OPA act was passed by a predominantly Demo, cratic Congress at tbe insistence of a Democratic executive.

Food Waste Woald Sapply Maay Soldiers Davie County’s 3,313 bouse wives could feed 1,026 soldiers for a year with the wasted food an. nually in homes in the county, an official of the country's leading food distributor estimated today Tbis amazing figure is based on accurate government statistics which indicate that at least 1.967,- 922 pounds of food are wasted an nually in Davte county homes, ac cording to Harvey A. Baum, bead of A & P Tea Company’s produce- buying operations. "Food is a munition of war and everyone must fight w^ste of it now,” Baum pointed out. "Effi cient food producers, processors and distributors have worked for years to reduce waste. Our com pany, for example, has cut waste and spoilage on perishable fruits and vegetables by 50 per cent dur. ing tbe past 20 years," he added. ’Now the government is urging a similar war on food waste in tbe home.” Kitchen efficiency, Baum sug gested, should include three points:. (Buy as nearly as possible |ust the required amount; 2) serve mo derate helpings, and 3) use all left overs. Baum said that although house wives have eliminated much food waste since Pearl Harbor, over eight per cent of ail food bought for borne consumption is still wast ed. While it is obvious that waste cannot be prevented entirely, he added, carefully planned conserva tion should cut the loss in half and thus 513 soldiers could be fed with tbe resulting savings in homes ot tbis countv. Civilians eat about 1,514 pounds of food each year, he concluded, while the average soldier "outs a- way" 1.916 pounds annually. Slapping Incidents Old Staff to Jap Soldiers The widely publicized story of Lieut. Gen. GeoTge Patton and tbe soldier he slapped in Sicilv would not cause a yarn In Japan, com mented Russell Brines, Associated Press correspondent who returned with other repatriates aboard tbe Gripsholm. "It’s military etiquette for a Japanese officer to slap, slug and punish his men at the slightest provocation," said Brines, who was interned for 14 months in Mantfa and Shaingbai prison camps. "The Japanese soldier expects and gets rough treatment from bis superior officers and they bad it out in tbe same measure to civilians whenever they can get away with it. There have been instances when a Japa Uese soldier caught- in the act of robbing or assaulting a nentrel, was run through or shot on the spot. ‘‘American soldiers not only get tbe highest pay and beat equipment in the world; they also get the best treatment from thetr officers.” Bad Eggs Accotding to reports from New York, more than half million dozen eggs which the Government pur. chased while house wives were un able to buy them, have become so ancient that even tbe Jamisbed would find them unoalatable, with tbe result that officials of-the Food Distribution Administration are a- bont to pay somebody to take them off its bands.

Prior to those da'es, the Office of War Information, in a lengthy re lease, suggested what to send tbe bovs. ‘‘Soldiers in differert areas do not want the same articles, ’ -OWI told us, "There are a few gifts, however, which soldiers in any com bat zone will welcome, such as ci garette lighters, wrist watches, hunting or boy scout knives.’’ Now, a month after the expira. tion of the Post Office deadline for Army presents and over 15 days after the doors were closed to Navy gifts, tbe War Production Board comes along with the helpful sug gestion that knives are not appro priate gifts.

Bar* ry, M adison, an am ateur detective, and Bqapt Rogers, a professional sleuth, go to M aratlan, Mexico, on a yacht cruise w ilb M argaret and Dwight Nichols. Ar* riving there they find th at Elsa and her parjty have preceded them by plane. They dlne.at the rancho of Elsa’s father, Sam Chatfleld, whom Rogers question* about Iilfl ..visit to his sister Kitty, in Los An* feles, the night she died. Later Sam Chatfleld addresses his guests on the sub* Ject of Kitty’s death, and asks that Rog* era: conduct an examination. Rogers cross-questions the entire group and dis covers that each has a motive. CHAPTER VIH “Thank you, Dwight. And you, Margaret?” “Not guilty, Hunt,” Margaret said With a smile. Rogers paused as if debating the propriety of his next question. “You tola'm e once, didn’t you, Marga- ret^that you too might be said to have a motive?” “ires,” answered Margaret frank ly. “I was jealous of Kitty; she was.out to take Dwight away from me---” “Don’t be absurd, dear,” Dwight Nichols interrupted. “I ’m not, darling—” “I had a motive,” said Elsa im pulsively, recklessly. “I hated her. I’d hated her all my life.” Sam Chatfleld looked thoughtfully at .'his daughter and was about to speak when Berta, her white teeth flashing, her eyes moving almost roguishly, declared: “I had a motive too, and Sam; the sister was inhospitable, insult ing to us. Such a scene! It made something”—she pressed her plump, beautiful hands to her bosom— “something inside very—very mad. With both of us.” Di this curious haste to confess motives, Rogers' face was full of interest; a faint smile played about his lips, his mild blue eyes shifted swiftly from one to the other of the. group as each one spoke. After Berta had spoken silence fell upon us; Rogers remarked: “All these things, of course, I’ve known. There remains only Reed Barton’s motive.” He glanced at Reed, who sat stiffly in his leather pantaloons, as if to ask permission for .what he was about to say. “Reed has said that Katherine Chatfleld can' be blamed for his father’s sui cide—it was over a matter of some mortgaged property which could have been saved by a little leniency “Oh, maybe an hour. Not righi in front of the house, Hunt, you un derstand. I’d walk down to the end of the block and loaf a while then come back. About the second time I done that I see Mrs. Nichols get in a car standing in front of the house and drive off.” Dwight sprang out of his chair and walked over to Rumble. He seized him roughly by the shoulder. “Are you accusing my wife of killing Kitty Chatfleld?” he demand ed harshly. “No. I’m just telling what I saw that night.” “Don’t, darling,” said Margaret. “He may be right at that.” “May be right?” repeated Dwight, puzzled. & “Well, then, is right,” said Mar garet defiantly. Dwight let go his hold on Rumble and straightened up, passing a hand across his face uncertainly. “Who was it who ran out of the house, Margaret?” asked Rogers. “He didn’t see me,” she said. “He couldn’t have known, I’m sure, that I was behind the drapery.

Is that it?” “Right.” -j “Did you enter the house a second time?” , “No.” “How long did you stay around thereabouts? And why?” .“I stayed because I was mad. ‘George,’ I kept talking to myself, ‘you got to cool down before, you go in again.’ When I get to talking to myself you know something is burning me. And that dame sure .did. My apologies to you, Chat field; she was your sister.” , “Don’t mention it,” Sam Chatfleld, absorbed in the conversation, roused to reply to Rumble. “I am aware that Kitty was a peculiar woman.” ’ “How long did you hang about?” Rogers persisted. I f e - 5 something or somebody promote—like I have Elsa.” “There’s a Yqqui dance just get- 1,ting started. You mustn’t miss it.” Rumble and I found seats on a bench in an enlarged circle under the open sky. There was an air of festivity pervading the crowd. The .air was heavy with perfume drift ing down upon us on the soft night Ir. A burst of firecrackers star tled the edge of the crowd, but they ioon . popped themselves out. The idor of cooking came from the itchen where in the ruddy glow of :harcoal fires women still were pat- ;ing tortillas. Two men on the platform were do- ig the Coyote Dance. To the beat- ig of a flat drum, and the chant- ig of the lone drummer, the danc- s, swinging lowered heads, their et moving in an intricate Sidewise iuffle, backed slowly to the rear the platform. To a brisker tempo iey galloped forward, only to re- ieat the maneuver over and over, !oyote skins stuck with feathers of ie turkey, eagle, woodpecker and [awk hung down their backs. As e dance began to take on a mo- [otonous air, Rumble wearied of it !nd got up from the bench and dis- ;ppeared. A moment later Elsa rowded in beside me. “Did you just get here?” I asked. “Yes,” she answered in my ear, nd snuggled against me. I put my irm around her and we sat for ome minutes while the beating of ha fltnim -*- affection. -W hen-he'heard that Jesus, who! was the real King of the Jews, had been born, he feared, and laid crafty plans to destroy Him. God saw to it that his purpose was not carried out. There are those of our time who fear the coming of Jesus, because they will not have Him to rule over their lives. They love their selfish ways, and their sinful pleasures; and when they face the question of what they will do with Jesus <and face it they must!), they have only fear and hatred In their hearts. III. Indifference (w . 4-6). When the Wise Men came to Je rusalem to inquire where the Christ was to be born, they received an immediate answer—in Bethlehem. That was-clearly foretold in Micah 5:2. The priests and scribes knew all about it, biit their knowledge did not move them to action. They told the Magi where to go, but they did not go themselves. How sad it is to see the indiffer ence of our day to the claims of Christ. There are many who think that simply because they do not hate the church, or the Bible, or do not fight against it, they are guilt less. How wrong they are will ap pear to them if they will read Mat thew 11:23, 24 and recall that the sin of_ Capernaum was only indif ference.

XTEW YORK.—The fifth marine to * become a military aviator, Maj. Gen. Roy S. Geiger is still flying at 58, and he continues in command A dded Years Have Not Made Him Too mighty S o ftfo rT o a g h Jo b * 7 * , ^ a South Pacific map makes the im portance of Bougainville plain. It lies at the bottom of the heart-shaped area controlled by Japan. If it falls, Rabaul in nearby New Guinea falls. If Rabaul falls, Truk is only a bomb er’s flight away. And if Truk falls, the Japanese heart collapses to a thin kidney. Inching along toward Bougain ville’s capture, Geiger parallels his bitter fight on Guadalcanal last year. Between September and November his aviation units destroyed 286 Japanese planes, damaged as many more and sank six enemy ships, including a heavy cruiser. For this Geiger was given a Gold star in place of a second Navy Cross. He won his first Cross in 1918, in France. The general began in the marines as an enlisted man. Fourteen months later, in 1909, he had a second lieutenancy. Before and after the World war he served all over . . . m China, Cuba, the Philippines. He flew med ical supplies to hurricane victims of Santo Domingo in 1930, a relief plane to earthquake victims in Nicaragua a year later. Stocky, cocky, sharp- eyed, he will fly a plane anywhere but he is also one of the marines’ best trained leaders, a graduate of the navy war college and of the army’s command and general staff school. 4 - H ’e r s H o l d 2 2 n d C o n g r e s s ; P r i z e W i n n e r s N a m e S m Some of the accomplishments of the National 4-H club during 1943 as revealed at its 22nd annual Congress in Chicago were: production of over 5,000,000 bushels of victory garden products, 12,000,000 pounds of peanuts, soybeans and other legumes; raising of 600,000 head of meat animals, 90,000 head of dairy cattle, and 9.009.000 chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese; and canning of 15,000,000 jars of perishable food.

Edward C. Wells, chief engineer of Boeing, took literally the offer of the air force, “You build ’em, we’ll fly ’em.” Thirty-three now, he has worked on all the army ships which ciilminated in the Flying For tress and for the past three years has given the bulk of his time to the B-29, the super-Fortress announced the other day by Gen. H. H. Arnold. Wells is an Idahoan, bom in busy Boise. He studied first at Willamette university in Oregon, then went to LeIand Stanford where he graduated top man in the 1939 engineering class. Boe ing took him on promptly. His were the preliminary designs for the controls, landing gear and tail surfaces on the P-26, long the air corps’ standard mono plane pursuit craft. Three years later he got his chance as sec ond in command of the staff planning the first of the Flying Forts. Chief engineer since January, Wells is already looking toward peacetime planes. He predicts a 16-hour trip from coast to coast. • ----- \ \ 7 HEN Norway had to surrender ’ ’ to the German invader, Gen. Otto Ruge was able to broadcast a last order of the day to the. little Norwegian F orces £ad ground W ill Not Forget His ed its arms •Wait and Believe’ ‘,n bTtt^ lfdeI feat. “Wait and believe,” he told his men, “and remember the old word, ‘A mighty fortress is our God.’ ” Norwegians remember the mes-- sage in silence, as the Nazi patrols march by, and Ruge must remem ber, too, in the German prison camp from which now he sends thanks to the American Red Cross for parcels of food. General Ruge refused to go along ■when the Norwegian king and government and many military leaders fled to exile in Great Britain. His place was with his men, he declared. At first, in the south, it was a race against time. The Nor- wegian forces, scanty, but swelled continually by volun teers, held the Germans back while waiting for Allied aid. Day after day, night after night, in the words of the general himself, they fought without reserves, facing artillery, tanks, bombers. When the Allied help proved in. effectual, the troops were trans ferred to northern Norway. They were still unconquered when the king’s proclamation ordered their hopeless resistance to cease. Ruge, undoubtedly responsible for this military feat, had been chief of the Norwegian general staff since 1933; inspector general of the in- fantry since 1938. He was a hard worker, often spending 16 hours daily at a desk. He was almost 60 when at the moment of crisis in April, 1940, he became commander-in-chief. From the first he shared the hardships of his troops. Thin, erect, he moved skillfully on skis on his tours of in spection. His. men loved and hon ored him. He is «.;.natipnal hero of Norway now.” -'' ........

(WNU Feature—Throueb special arrangement witb Colliers Weekly) We could have taken Munda air port in a single day by frontal as sault. as we had taken Henderson Field on Guadalcanal. The Japs would have scattered into the jungle. But that would have meant another Guadalcanal, another six months of jungle fighting. So we came in be hind the Japs to herd them down onto the open airfield and finish them there swiftly, in a blitz.The beginning was jungle. The jungle of New Georgia is so thick it seems like an animal crouched si lently against the earth • waiting to Kiu you. It is very quiet inside the jungle. Not many animals live in it. They can’t see to kill or to run away from being killed and they choose more open woods. But it is a place of death all the same. The plants are locked in silent struggle with each other. They suck each other’s blood and stran gle each other with fleshless strength. Life is being smothered everywhere there, all the time. Silence of Death.The silence of the jungle is the si lence of death. The Japs there were silent, too, when we landed. There were 5,000 or 7,000 of them, living the last days of their lives and they were very quiet, like men praying to themselves. The jungle here grew out of a swamp. The mud began abruptly at the edge of the sand. Over the mud was a network of vines and brush. A shoe made the mud open like a mouth and, when the shoe was pulled out, the mud sucked like a mouth. Suck, scrape, squash. That was the blitz marching. The first shots came unexpectedly and from all around, from ground we had just walked over, too. The enemy was in front of us and on the side of us and shooting us through the wall we had our backs against. The shooting came in spatters and angry little tears as if the Japs knew what they were shooting at. They were shooting at pur area, but I don’t think they could see, any more than we could, anything to shoot at. When the troops dug in for their first night on New Georgia, it was still raining. The darkness black ened until it was so black that you could not see your hand in front of your face. You felt blinded. The effect of the blackness was so stun ning that you couldn’t tell whether your eyes were open unless you gaped them wide enough to hurt.I gaped my eyes and made them hurt, I wanted to be sure they would see what could be seen. There were curious birds scattered through the area where we were. They wel comed the night with yelping little barks. Some were close at hand and some were quite far off. They sounded like puppy dogs, but not ex actly; more like men imitating pup py dogs. Slept in Water. The water was several inches deep in our foxhole. I was using my jun gle pack as a pillow, but In a little while the water crept up about it and got into my ears. I took off my poncho and wadded it up and placed it under my head. But the rain kept falling and after another while I took off my helmet and rest ed my head on that to keep the wa ter out of my ears. I lay that way until dawn with the „warm, sticky, yellow water puddling and swirling across my chest and up to my chin. Time does not pass on a night like this. It inches through the mind like a black snake. When the dawn came, I stood op in the foxhole. Muddy water dripped off me and there were streaks and clumps of thick mud all over me. It rained all that day without stop- ping. The men again fonght a will- o’-the-wisp enemy who was never seen and who, when charged, was not there—except for a few dead. At nightfall, it was still raining. The men dug into the mud and lay there in holes that were open to the rain and to the night and to the Jans. This fantastic rear-guard action kept up for 15 days and 15 nights. It got to seem like a horror play. The men slept in patches and bits and in the daylight rose, fatigued, to advance. From a military point of view, there was no orthodox sense to all this. The objective of a rear guard is to slow the enemy and kill as many of him as possible before he reaches the point where you have to stand and light. Jap rear guards would have killed a lot more Ameri cans if, instead of knifing into the foxholes they found, they had thrown grenades into them. They would have had a lot more time for killing if they had not wasted so much time retrieving their dead and, wounded and cleaning up.the evidence after each fight CLASSIFIED DEPART M E NT HOGS FOR SALE ifftfttercd Blaek Boland Chlnnt B roaJ Sct shorter Ieff type.

Whether you walk where there is hard-packed snow under your feet and the crackle of frost as you walk or whether you recline under lazy palm trees with the sun beat ing down on you in all its warmth, may this be your merriest Christ- mas • ■ • *or this is the”time of year to lay down the heaviness of spirit and to think only of goodwill toward men. There’s an elegance about Christ m as dinner which you can’t avoid even if you serve the simplest of food. Perhaps it is the spirit with which it’s prepared and the blessing with which it is eaten. Whatever it is, make the most of it with what ever you have. And now to the bustling and busy ness that is Christmas. If your choice for the dinner is ham, and you’ve been saving your points for it, prepare it thus: ♦Christmas Ham. I smoked ham 2- cops fruit juice 1 cup brown sugar 2 dozen whole cloves Place the ham rind side up, on an open roasting pan. Bake in a slow oven (325 degrees) for 18 minutes per pound for the average size ham, 10 to 12 pounds; 16 to 17 minutes for larger hams, 12 to 15 pounds. When ham has been baked for required length of-tim e remove from oven and cut away the rind. Score ham with a sharp knife, rub sugar over surface and stick with cloves. Pour I cup fruit juice over it. Return to oven and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Baste freq u en tly with remaining cup of juice. If the ham is precooked, it needs only to be heated thoroughly before the glazing. You’ve chosen a turkey for the Yule meal? Then, here’s the stuffing for it: Savory Stuffing. (For a 12-pound bird) 8 cnps toasted bread crumbs 1 teaspoon salt Ya teaspoon pepper Yt teaspoon each of sweet marjor am, thyme, celery leaves and parsley, or 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning Yt teaspoon grated orange or lemon peel 2 onions, diced 2 tablespoons fat Ie g g M cup hot water, stock or milk Toast bread and break into crumbs. Blend crumbs and season ing together lightly. Pry onion until light brown in fat, mix with bread and seasonings. Stir in slightly beat en egg and liquid. Cool mixture and Lynn Says Decorative Notes: Dazzling bouquet for your Christmas table would be shimmering Christmas tree balls wired to stems. Use several ornaments to each stem and use the same wire that is used for fresh flower bouquets. Little evergreen branches can in termingle with the colorful balls to carry out tiie Yule idea. Silvered twigs are pretty with red and green gumdrops. Use a low black bowl for this-setting, or place them on one of those pale blue mirrors which you may have. Favorite in many homes is the iced gingerbread house. Make a gingerbread dough, roll out and, cut to fit house. Put together with white icing, sprinkle the whole with shimmering silver snow and set on a cardboard base or mirror. Miniature figures can be used in this setting.

Sometimes the family receives as much pleasure from the relish as they do from the meat of the day. Here is a delightful, colorful relish: ♦Cranberry-Apple Relish. (Makes IYt quarts) 4 cups fresh cranberries 2 apples, pared and cored 2 oranges I lemon 2Yt cups sugar or U i cups sugar and H i cups corn syrup Wash apples and cranberries; put through food chopper. Quarter or anges and lemon, rind and all; re move seeds and chop. Add sugar and blend. Place in jar; cover closely and chill in refrigerator. *= This will keep indefinitely. Vegetables to go with dinner are important. These two will harmo nize in color and texture to comple ment your entree: ♦Fried Brussels Sprouts. (Serves 6) 1 onion, chopped 3 tablespoons drippings 4 cups cooked brussels sprouts Cook onion in butter until tender, add sprouts and toss gently until thoroughly heated. Yam Puff. (Serves 6) 4 large yams or sweet potatoes H cup margarine 2 well-beaten eggs H cnp sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder I teaspoon salt Peel potatoes and boil until soft. Mash and add remaining ingredi ents. Beat well and place in greased casserole. Dot with butter or mar garine and bake until brown, about Vt hour. ♦Beet-Olive Salad. (Serves 6) 4 cups cooked beets, cut in strips Ys cup sliced, stuffed olives 3 tablespoons french dressing Toss together beets, olives and french dressing. Serve in lettuce cups. It would no longer be practical to give an elaborate recipe for fruit cake, so here is one more simple than I’ve given in other years. It is delicious. Pick over fruit carefully, chop rather than grind it: ♦Wartime Fruit Cake. I cup dried apricots Va cup sugar Va cup shortening 4 eggs 1 cup seedless raisins Ys cup candied cherries % cup candied orange peel Ys cup candied citron . H cup blanched almonds Yt teaspoon grated lemon peel 2 cups flour Yt teaspoon salt. Boil apricots I minute, drain, then slice. Cream sugar with shortening, add eggs beaten' until light and thick, then combine with fruit and almonds. - Slice cherries, orange peel, and citron before measuring. Add flour sifted with salt and beat thoroughly. Pour into small, greased oven glass dish, cover with glass top and bake IYa hours in a slow oven, 275 degrees.

Farley Granger, 17, used to read want ads and pick up odd jobs that way for week-ends and after school. He saw a four-line ad in a Los An geles newspaper, “Boy, over 17 but not 1 8; theatrical experience desir able but not essential.

Louise Larabee’s ambition to be an actress led her first toward the stage—but legitimate theater man agers wouldn’t even give her an audition. She got a chorus job in films, and tried for leads in west erns, though that wasn’t quite what she wanted. So she headed for New York and radio; now she’s the very beautiful menace on NBC’s “A Wom an of America.” There’s an epidemic of beard- growing on "Crime Doctor,” but the crime doctor himself, Everett Sloane, says he was influenced, not by Iris companions, but by Orson Welles. Welles asked him how much money he was making. "About $1,200 a week,” said Sloane. “The moment I grew a beard I began get ting two thousand,” Welles told him. So Sloane stopped shaving! For six successive years, story teller John Nesbitt has appeared Christmas week in a special radio adaptation of “The Juggler of Notre Dame.” On December 19 of this year he will repeat the lovely story on Preston Foster’s “Silver Thea ter.” Radio fans lose a lot by not being able to see Georgia Carroll, Kay Kyser’s new singer.

Her name is really Anne Elstner, which makes no difference to. a lot of people in Stockton, N. J., where she lives.

The tobacco industry is only one of the vital mainsprings of North Carolina’s well-being — and yet its products are valued at more than a half billion dol lars annually and their manufacture gives direct employment to more than fifteen thousand workers. North Caro lina, ranking first in the nation in tobacco products, is likewise the home of many other flourishing industries, prominent among them being textiles, food, furni ture, lumber and chemicals. We who keep Greyhound buses rolling across our State take pride in the indus trial achievements of our fellow North Carolinians—and take part in them, tool It’s our job—in wartime as in peacetime —to transport men and women to fac tories and farms, to keep essential travel moving, to make near neighbors and good neighbors of. all the communities our buses serve in North Carolina.
