Life’s better way is to be thou­ ghtful. Use your mind wisely. God would have us think soberly, sincerely, solemnly and righteously. On the other band, the devil would have us think foolishly, sinfully and wrongly. And then he would have us simply blank in our minds oftentimes that he may bring upon us destructiveness. Men go into evils oftentimes because they do not stop and think. Bad and ruin­ ous habits fasten themselves upon many neople for the simple reason that they didn’t think of what they were doing, or going into, or par­ taking of. It pays to think wisely as we tra­ vel through life. No man would become a drunkard if be would think honestly and sincerely of ihe cursedness of liquor, and of what it might lead him to, He would take the safe and sure way—let it absolutely alone. No one would begin a bad thing if he would use his mind as he should and let God direct his life. To fail here is to sigh hereafter, to weep, to have bitter remorse; and if unrepented of, it means eternity without God and as a defeated soul. Be thoughtful. Those who climb and rise to life’s best in manhood, in honesty, In sobriety, in nobility, in godliness, holiness and saintli­ ness are those who think; those who use their mental faculties as God intends But those who go down in life, dowu to failure, wreck and ruin physically, morally and spiritually are those who go forth thoughtlessly, heedlessly, headlong and without restraining themselves or without letting God restrain them. How deplorable! Be thoughtful. God has given us a mind with which to think Don’t let the devil make it blank, or simplv cause you to use it as a channel of destructiveness. If one’s mind is filled wi b evil thoughts, and the devil bas control ot it, you may be assured tbat be will never bring to you life’s goal of success, but will take you down to defeat for time and eterritv. Saint Paul said: “Let this mind be in ycu. which was also in Christ Jesus.” Tbat means a clean mind, a godly mind. It means that oue goes in the right direction, does the right things, speaks the right words forms the right habits, lives the right life and comes to the right destination at the end of his earth­ ly career. It means ^ life of sue cess, a life of beauty, a life of bles sedness, a life of peace with God and man, a life of helpfulness to the world and Heaven hereafter. Glory to God forever.

D a v ie C ou n ty P ou ltry- m en P raised Davie County poultrymen are asked by the government to pro. duce approximately 628,756 dozen eggs this year, four per cent more than in 1943. as tbeir part In the Food for Victory program, the Na­ tional Paultry Defense Committee announced today. This county goal can best be reached if housewives takes full advantage of the oresent eggs sur. plus and plan more nenus calling for greater use* of eggs, thus en. couraging farmers to maintain high production, declered Committee Se­ cretary Leon Todd. In urging poultrymen to meet the 1944 quota, Todd pointed out the current egg abundance may be followed by a serious shortage if farmers liquidate some of their lay­ ing flocks because of inability to dispose of eggs at profitable prices now. An aid to producers is the con­ certed effort of distributors to keep the supply of eggs flowing steadily into consumer channels as a nutri tious wartime food, Todd said, add­ ing that aggressive merchandising has thus proved an important fact­ or in increasing egg consumption. “For instance,” he asserted, “re­ cords of A & P Food Stores, one of the larger purchasers of Tarheel eggs, show this company bought 823,640 dozen eggs in the state last year, topping tbeir 1942 purchases by nearly 40 per cent and paying North Carolina producers $153,057 more than during the previous year.” Even greater cooperation by dis­ tributors and consumers is needed now, the poultry officials said, to assure farmers a profitable market for their surplus production during the next few weeks and thus in­ sure that a feast will not be follow­ ed by a famine. “Each of us can belp,” he concluded, “by eating more eggs during this period. Re member they are a ‘whole’ food, complete with proteins, essential vitamins, fats and minerals.” W ould Spend 5 M illion T o R e-E lect R o o sev elt Governor John W. Bicker, of Ohio, told Texas Republicans, at Houston, that “we have been reliably inform­ ed that the CIO political action com­ mittee is preparing to spend $5 000,- 000” to re-elect Eresident Roosevelt and ’to take ns down the road to­ ward state sosialism.” “Never in all history has there been such a program of spending and pressure as the one which has been planned by this organization which feeds off the laboring man and woman and seeks to dominate our government with radical and com munistic schemes,” the Republican presidential aspirant sa'd in an ad. dress prepared for delivery bef re a pre-state convention rally. Tabbing the committee “A power- ful and dangerous group in this country which is far -more active than the Democratic national com­ mittee in campaigning for a fourth term,” the candidate for the Repub­ lican presidential nomination: “It is planned by the president’s high command to picture the Presi­ dent constantly as the commander- in-chief of a war that only his clique can win and to emphasize interna­ tional probloms at the expense of domestic issues, while the C. HO. po­ litical action committee, under cover of patriotic bally-hoo. spends mil­ lions of dollars to take us down the road toward state socialism. “One of the saddest aspects of this plot in that many welHntention con­ scientious laborers in our great in­ dustries, believing that they are en­ joying the fruits of their rights to organize and bargain collectively, sre being duped and misled into a form of national socialism that will be obnoxious to them when they re­ cognize It—which may be to late.” P la y in g P o litic s W ith Food? The unexpected lifting of ration iug on canned goods, and most meats coming as it did within a week of the high-handed and dic­ tatorial seizure of Montgomery Ward & Company, made more than one Washington observer suspicious of the action The fact that Chester Bowles, OPA administrator, had predicted in a magazine article published the same week that canned goods ra tioning ended and most meats were point-free tbat no end to rationing of anv meats or canned goods could be expected before 1945 led political observers to suspect tbat the administration was plaring po­ litics with our food supplies. In an article in Colliers’s Maga zine for May 8th, 1944, which was circulated five days before the meat public, Mt. Bowles stales: “Termination of rationing, when­ ever it is, will be attended by many difficulties . . . If I were to make a guess, my timetable would be something like this: “Meat: Some relief in 1945— with luck—and possibly end when the war in Europe is over. “Processed foods; When the war in the Pacific ends.” Yet, even as this article was be­ ing circulated, canned goods ra tioning ended and most meats were point-free. Congressmau August H Andre- sen of Minnesota, after reciting these and other discrepancies in Mr. Bowles' estimatee and the unex pected announcement by the OPA terminating meat and canned goods rationing, asked on the floor of the Congress: “Can it be that the President and his invisible advisers found it ex pendient said it coutd not end until after Mr. Bowles the odor for the Presidential taking b y military force, of a certain Chicago mail­ order company? Or was it a New Deal oolit’cal expediency properly- timed to end food rationing a few months before the Presidential elec­ tion?” D o Y ou K now That in the seven years, 1933 1940, total biank check appropriations to the Executive Department of the Federal Government were almost twenty billion dollars, or approxi­ mately eight times all the discretorv funds appropriated by Congress from 1789 to March. 1933?

C.—A shouting, stamping arid applauding Progress­ ive (Negro) Democratic party con­ vention demanded that .its 18 dele­ gates to the national Democratic convention at Chicago be seated in place of delegates elected by the white state Democratic convention. To shouts of, “You tell ’em. brother,” and “Now you’re talk­ ing,” J, M Hinton, secretary of the Negro citizens committee of South Carolina asserted “the Ne gro wants peace and happiness if he can get it, but if it takes shed, ding of blood like Long (Represen tative John Long, of Union) said it would, he’s not the only red blood­ ed American in South Carolina.” At the regular session of the Soctth Carolina General Assembly Long was author of a House reso­ lution which told the “damned Northern agitators” to leave the South alone with its problems. Lcng said be willing to sbed bis blood to save white supremacy in the South. Hinton, president of a life insur­ ance company and state president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, quoted Governor Olin D. Johnston as saying last year that he would call out the home guard to protect white supremacy. “They better take tbat type of bravery over against the Japs and Germans,” Hinton shouted. The Progressive party, founded last March by 34-year old John H. McCray, editor and publisher of a weekly Negro newspaper here, set up its organization dnring the con­ vention “subject to the rules of the National Damocratic party The adjective ‘Progressive’ shall distin­ guish it from,all other ‘Democratic’ organizations that exist,” the par­ ty rules said. “Freedom is coming to the black people of South Carolina. Gover­ nor Johnstone, Senator Ellison D Smith, firmer Governor R. M. Jef­ fries, Representative Long, Senator Burnet R. Maybank aud all the other demagogues of South Caro* Iina are trembling because the Ne groes are together,” Hinton said. Theconvention adopted an 11. point platform calling for a fourth, fifth and even 10 terms for Presi­ dent Roosevelt “if these be neces­ sary to continue truly ‘democratic’ government in this nation.” Other points in the resolution set­ ting forth platform objectives in­ cluded opposition to racial persecu­ tion and discrimination against Ne groes by the Democratic party of South Carolina, a plan to offer a full slate of candidates in the No vember general election election of delegates to the national conven tion and elevation of “all our citi­ zens, whatever tbeir color and race, from the depths of political and eco nomic despair, from the abyss ot educational deficiency and tba jun gles of hysteria into which they have been driven by indiscreet and inconsiderate ‘leaders.’ ” McKane, keynoter for the con­ vention, drew cheers and ‘‘amens1 from the 150 delegates from 38 counties attending the meeting as he shouted ‘ Th*s is the third revo­ lution. We. each and everyone of us here are leaders in this revolu. tion.” Somebody page Eleanor. “Squandering the people’s money, even in wartime, is no proof of pa­ triotism.” —Jesse Jones, Secretary of Commerce.

Much sugar cane land bas been bought from tbe companies there and though a large part of it is still 0- perated as one big property, now. after all the expenses have been paid the profit is divided among all those who work it in common.” United States farmers will recall other socialistic experiments spon­ sored by the ardent New Dealer, Rexford Tugwell, until the wave of criticism on the demestic front reach­ ed such a volume that President Roosevelt found it expendient to “de­ port” him by appointing him gover­ nor of Puerto Rico- Farmers will also recall tbe opinion of farmers recorded by Jay Frank­lin, a leading spokesman of the New Deal and one of the first appointees to a major position in the Agricul­ tural AdjnBtment Administration. In his book. "For What We Are A- bout to Receive.” Jay Franklin bad his to say about farmen: "The farmer has arrogated to him­ self all virtues and all knowledge, be has voted against progress, against civilization, against the science, a- gainst art, He lias made and un­ made Presidents in the image of Main Street, he has exhausted our soil as he will exhaust our Treasury if given half a chance. He is the great obstacle to human progress, the great threat to political stability. Sooner or later, we shall discover, as England discovered, as Soviet RusBia discovered, that the pagan, the landed proprietor, tbe kulak, is simply so much mud on the path of progress and must be swept aside if society is to advance.“The problem of farm relief will become not how we shall relieve the farmer, but who shall relieve us of the farmer.” THE DAVIE RECORD.

C. A new idea of what radio w ill m ean after the war w as given to m e the other evening at supper by a m an who ought to know. His ingenu­ ity has played an important part in improving t h e quality of radio broadcasting dur­ ing peace, and he is today playing an important part in winning the war by helping to keep our radio and radar development one jump ahead of the enemy. The man was John V. L. Hogan, special assistant to the WPB office of scientific research and develop­ ment, and president of the New York radio station WQXR, which has presented exceptional pro­ gram s. Commercial radio, he said, stands on the threshold of tremen­ dous expansion and improvement. During the war great technical progress for m ilitary purposes has been m ade in radar and television, but also important advances have been effected in sound transmission by ether waves. When the war ends this technical progress will be transferred to com ­ m ercial broadcasting by freeing our vastly expanded manufacturing fa­ cilities and releasing thousands of technicians. Mr. Hogan believes this w ill m ean not only improvement in the pro­ gram s offered to owners of radio and television sets in and near the large cities, but that daylight broad­ casting of better programs to the m ost rem ote sections of the country will become a reality. It is not generally known that at present about one-eighth of the peo­ ple who live in the country areas get no radio service whatever in daylight hours, even from the m ost powerful broadcasting stations. Dur­ ing the daytim e only the “ground w aves” can be transmitted by the ordinary radio station, and these have an effective sending radius of only 100 to 150 m iles. When the “heavyside layer” is formed in the upper atm osphere after darkness, radio im pulses are reflected from the larger sending stations for about 750 m iles. P o w e r f u l S t a t i o n s i n C i t i e s Even then, not all parts of the country are well served by the big, clear-channel stations, because these are located mostly in big cities. Today there is controversy as to whether the number of high-powered stations should be increased, with a consequent decrease in the number of sm all stations, or whether there should be more sm all stations to em phasize local news and advertise local com m ercial interests. At pres­ ent, more than 500 of the m ore than 900 com m ercial radio stations in the United States are in metropolitan areas with populations over 50,000, while only 17 stations are in towns of under 5,000 people. Federal Communication com m is­ sion officials are deeply concerned with this situation. They point out that the rapid growth of radio in the last decade has m eant more varied and additional service to city listen­ ers, with little im provem ent in small-comm unity and rural radio service. Yet the econom ic and so­ cial interests of the farm and sm all town business are enormous. Viewed from the political standpoint, the country areas send to congress al­ m ost two-thirds of the representa­ tives. Nevertheless, the unprofitable eco­ nom ics of small-station operation have been demonstrated repeatedly. Of the 300 stations which were just about breaking even, or were oper­ ating at a loss, in 1942 the m ajority were sm all, independent outlets, m ost of them loqatcd in communi­ ties with no other radio station. The books of 194 of these 300 border­ line stations show them to be actu­ ally operating “in the red.” Break for Small Communities The FCC in April, 1942, relaxed its wartim e freeze policy on the use of critical m aterials for civilian ra­ dio construction to encourage expan­ sion of radio service to sm all com­ munities. It also reduced telephone line charges to broadcasting sta­ tions, which m ade it easier to obtain network affiliation. In August, 1943, the FCC adopted an order permitting the use of idle equipment to construct new local- channel stations of 100 to 250 w atts power in com m unities where no sta­ tion was located, or in com m unities which did not have good service from nearby metropolitan center. A partial solution probably will be found in the development of fre- quency-modulation (FM ) stations for local areas, while som e of the local channels m ay be cleared and given to high-powered stations. FM gives considerably improved reception. Some half-million sets are now equipped to receive it. It operates in higher frequencies than the pres­ ent com m ercial broadcast bands. Mr. Hogan pointed out to m e that a new system of relays has been developed which could hook up FM stations to each other, with the ef­ fect of creating new networks. T A L Y CASSINO ANGELO Z MIGNANO CASTELFORTE The ‘Big Push’ in Italy Saved From Japs French forces, eager for another smack at the traditional foe, have taken the spotlight in the big Allied drive in Italy. They struck west­ ward -from Castelforte (I) in a sensational assault on Mt. Maio, and cap­ tured the important town of Ausonia, cutting the only road through the valley and ripping a hole in the Gustav line. To the south (2) U. S. forces drove the enemy from Santa Maria Infante, and northward (small arrows) the British Eighth army extended its Bapido river bridgehead.

C. %K V i i Q U E E N S D I E P R O U D L Y 6V W A m its©•WHITE W-N.U.TEATUREJ THE STORT THOS FAR: Llcut. Col. Frank Kurtz, pilot of a Flying Fortress, tells of that fatal day when the Japs •truck In the Philippines. Eight of his men were hilled fleeing for shelter and Old 99, with many other Fortresses, was demolished before It could get off the ground. After escaping to Australia, what Is left of the squadron flies to Java where they go out on missions over the Philippines. The bombardier takes np the story and tells of a flying trip Co Brazil, Egypt, Iraq, India and Java. A battle in the clouds In which swanns of Zeros attack an E model Fortress Is described, and In which the Zeros come out second best Seven Zeros are shot down. CHAPTER XII “We’ve already lost altitude wait­ ing for the Major (we’d boxed him in so he could stay with us and the Zeros wouldn’t tear him to pieces), and he seems to have developed en­ gine trouble. We’re down to 23,000 feet. And I’m the lead bombardier. “But now the whole plan is again altered: I get it over the command radio. We’re to lay them in chains across this target. So I set up the bomb sight again, put the cross hairs on that cruiser. “It is a perfect run. I even have time to take my eye off the sight, and fire bursts at two more Zeros as they attack from the front. They start way out ahead, to the left and a little below us. Now, coming on in at me, they cross over and up, toward the center of my fuselage, their guns pounding, and then slip on back and dive straight down and away. “I get one because he miscues. “Then I jam my eye back onto that bomb sight. Everything is rid­ ing pretty—the cross hairs right where I want them, the bombs about ready to be released. “A second before the bombs leave my plane, I see that Jap cruiser starting to turn (he’s figured our bomb-release line to the hair). He’s turning toward us as I watch the bombs go down. By the time they’ arrived, the cruiser is three-fourths through a turn of 180 degrees. The first bombs are falling short—three of them. Now mine come—two direct hits on the cruiser, the other two going over. The plane back of me gets some direct hits. My left wing man’s string is barely in front of the cruiser, my right wing man’s string is barely behind it — the damned thing seems enveloped in bombs churning the water, and de­ bris flying above the foam. Boy, that Japanese captain just turned the wrong way! “But now our formation swings and heads for home, Zeros still swarming around us, and we’re still losing altitude to stay back to pro­ tect the Major, who seems able to use barely enough throttle to keep her in the air. After forty minutes the last Zero drops away; they’re short of gas and daren’t chase us any further. “Presently, over the command ra­ dio: , “ ‘Robinson to Skiles. Go ahead.’ “ ‘Skiles answering.’ “ ‘Radio the base at Malang to have an ambulance ready. We have two badly wounded men aboard.’ “We wonder who they are. One is probably the tail gunner, since we saw Robinson’s plane taking so many tracers there. The other must be their radio operator, or else they could have sent their own dot-dash message back to base. “Meantime our radio operator is telling Malang to have the ambu­ lance out. Our plane is now leading the formation. Major Robinson’s just behind us. We’ve drifted slowly down to 4,000 feet altitude, protect­ ing Robinson. Then, all of a sud­ den, Robinson’s plane swoops down beneath us about 1,000 feet, and the incline sends it scooting on out in front of us, heading a little toward the coast of Borneo. Is Robinson going to beach her? And now over the command radio: “ ‘Skiles to Robinson. Is there anything wrong?’ our pilot asks. “But there is no answer. We watch. Now Major Robinson is mak­ ing a gradual turn, as though to rejoin Uie formation. But halfway in the turn his plane starts nosing over, goes into a dive, goes fa ster- straight down at the sea. We watch, holding our breath. Just be­ fore he goes in, his tail elevator blows off. The poor guy must have had the stick clutched back into his stomach trying to pull out of that dive, and Uie terrible air pressure on those elevators ripped them off. There’s a huge splash—flame—a spi­ ral of black smoke, and a widening circle of yellows, reds, and black, which is burning gas and oil on that topaz-green water. “The second after it hits I call lieutenant Duphrane on the inter­ phone. " ‘My God, Duke,’ I said, 'did yon see that?’ “ ‘Yes,’ he said. And then in a minute he said, ‘Thank God those Japs didn’t see it.* “The formation circles above the dead Queen. We circle until the fire dies away, peering down at the wid­ ening disk of oil. But there is no sign of anything else on the surface. “Until then it hadn’t- seemed like a battle—just a game. But now I feel like someone had kicked me in Uie guts. There were guys on there I’d drunk with. We’d sat around and lied to each other. I’d seen it happen, but I couldn’t believe what I saw—it seemed like a bad dream. “When we landed, all the crew as­ sembled for the critique, each mem­ ber dictating just what he had seen to the officer. That’s when I was credited with three of the eight Zeros we knocked down. After the critique no one had much to say. We were all thinking about what we saw hap­ pen. “They told us to go to the bar­ racks and get some rest. But an hour later I found that the whole crew had, one by one, drifted back out to the plane—cleaning guns, im­ proving gun positions, doing things we’d suggested back in the States but no one had ever got around to doing. Throwing away those small inadequate ammunition cans, and rigging the guns so you could set a whole box of ammunition in there, figuring ways of putting more guns in the nose—.50-caliber ones that really pack a punch. And cussing hell out of the bottom turret. It has remote control—you look through a mirror and everything is back­ wards, and you have to know exact­ ly where the plane is going before you can line the sights. “We’d found out our machine-gun oil would freeze at high altitudes, and we were figuring how to clean and oil the guns so they would best Boy, that Japanese captain just turned the wrong way. operate up there. You couldn’t tell the officers from the men (remem­ ber, we had no maintenance crews in Java; we did all the work our­ selves) and my pilot had his cover­ alls on, installing an extra oxygen outlet in the tail. After seeing what had happened to Robinson's tail gun­ ner, he figured if his tail gunner got wounded, another man in the crew could go back there and they would both stay on oxygen. “The E of course was a big ad­ vance over the D. But any new model will have IitUe things wrong that you never find out until you take one up and fight it. “All through Java we did it all ourselves—the officers right along with us, helping load bombs and checking valves. We flew in weath­ er out Uiere you wouldn’t drive out to the airport in back here. But the Japs were flying it too; they’d come in strafing and we’d have to jerk our old mutts off the ground quick.” “Anyway,” said Frank Kurtz, “we had stopped the Japanese there in Macassar Strait for a while. The little Dutch Navy helped, but mostly it was American air power. We’d sunk quite a gang of them, so the rest had to go home and lick their wounds, realizing they couldn’t move in on Java until they had air control. This meant they would have to clean us out of our advance fields in Borneo and the Celebes. It wouldn’t be hard, for the Dutch had no troops to speak of on these is­ lands. Everything had had to be withdrawn to hold Java. But it took time for the Japs to take over our IitUe advance bases at Samarin- da and Kendari, and being new to war, we foolishly thought Time was on our side. We were thinking of those thousand planes. We hadn’t learned that Time in war is a treacherous ally who favors anyone who will use him. “But meantime Colonel Eubank had hauled me down to the ground for a while to do a different job. Too many wars were going on. The Japanese were running a pretty good one, but against them were the American Air Force, the Royal Dutch Air Force, the American, Dutch, and Australian navies, all of us running wars of our own. “Finally it was agreed that every night they’d deliver to me in Sura­ baya a safe-hand message, giving the position of every American ship in those waters. We’d swap infor­ mation about operations, so every­ one would be pulling together.. It was a liaison job, and since I’d have to deal with Navy men so heavy with rank and gold braid on their sleeves they looked like they’d had their arms up to the elbows in scrambled eggs, the Colonel gave me a set of captain’s bars, so I could talk up to them. Presently I was dealing with everyone — the Dutch and the BriUsh, too. “The Dutch, for instance, were begging for help in Sumatra. It’s that long island which parallels Ma­ laya, pointing down in the direction of Java. The Japs weren’t in Singa­ pore yet, but already they were swarming across the narrow seas from Malaya trying to grab the oil refineries at Palembang. So the Colonel sent the Forts.” “We got to Palembang the last week in January,” said Sergeant Boone, the gunner. “The Dutch there were certainly swell to us. There is a huge refinery in the town, and they took us to a club sponsored by Standard Oil Company—a pal­ ace. All the club members would drop around to be sure the Air Corps had a place for the night. A Dutch officer took the rear gunner and myself to his quarters. He’d married an American girl, so he spoke good English. We had on only greasy coveralls, but he took us right into his quarters—all air-con­ ditioned and mosquito-proofed. The native couple they had as cook and houseboy gave us the first home- cooked meal we’d tasted since the war. “The Dutch officer was a fine- looking big blond guy. He brought out clean pajamas for us, and some of his uniforms we could wear for dinner. He was depressed. Early in January he had evacuated his wife and child to Java—for safety, although that seems queer to say now. He himself was staying be­ hind, in command of native ground troops, to defend those refineries. He hadn’t heard from his wife. You could see he was very much in love with her. Also that he didn’t think much of the military setup they had in Sumatra, so he doubt­ ed that he would ever see her again. “He’d been back on a visit to Hol­ land just before the Germans came in. Since then he’d had only one letter from his mother—smuggled out. She had had a couple of Ger­ man maids from over the border. They made good servants for the heavy work, but just before the sur­ prise invasion they’d been called back to Germany. It was the same, she said, all over Holland. So no wonder, he said, that the Germans knew the name of every Dutch offi­ cer in Holland. The morning of the invasion, the Gestapo would lmock at the door, and when the officer opened it, would shoot him down in cold blood. This was why, he explained, the Dutch Navy was so incapacitated for officers. He was very bitter. He was in wonderful physical condiUon—been leading na­ tive troops through the jungles. Said his wife was high up in the Java mountains and hoped she was safe. Next morning we left on a mission and never saw him again.” “We came up a little later,” said the Bombardier, “and by the time we got there, the Japs were moving into the river’s mouth, just below Palembang. The weather was over­ cast—a ceiling of 2,000, so we had to work down below that. None of us liked it, because a Fort is a hell of a big easy target so close to the ground—never built for that. As we came in, so close to the ground, our radio operator called Skiles on the interphone. “ ‘Captain,’ he. said, ‘oxygen doesn’t agree with me, but I’m will­ ing to begin chewing it any time now,’ and I broke in, ‘You can say that again.’ “Captain Northcott was leading the mission—six planes we were, and when we sighted the target he called over the command radio, as­ signing our flight to a transport on the left. “It was a monster, a huge Maru liner which I’ve seen as a luxury cruise boat Ued up to the San Fran­ cisco docks. Suddenly she cut loose a hell of an antiaircraft barrage at us, all coming from this one trans­ port—a regular Fourth of July at three o’clock in the afternoon. It was like looking down into a cone of fire, with this transport at the tip, and smoking red-hot rivets, they seemed like, whizzing up at us. They were rocking us around when suddenly we shuddered violently and almost went over on our back. An ack-ack shell had burst under one wing near the fuselage. Big pieces of it tore a huge hole just where the wing joins the fuselage, and one em­ bedded itself just a few inches from Captain Skiles. v “We were already on our run, al­ most at the release line, and the jar had thrown out the bomb sight— it was completely inoperative. But I'd done some pracUce low-altitude bombing at Muroc back in the States, so I said the hell with a bomb sight—I’d guess at it. I was good and mad at the shaking-up we’d got. ‘All right, you • • • * . Jl e r e Jjl e y c o m e j» I hollered, and dropped four in rapid succession. They landed in a clus­ ter about twenty-five feet from the transport. The other four I released more slowly. We’d come down to 1,000 feet now, and that’s low. (TO BE CONTtNUEDI.

S Lesson for June 11 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts at* ected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by termission. PADL PLEADS FOB A RUN­ AWAY SLAVE LESSON TEXT—Philemon 4-21. GOLDEN TEX T-Be ye kind one to an- ither, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, tven as God also ia Christ forgave you.— Sphesians 4:32. Brotherhood is one of those fine lualiUes or impulses of the soul of which men like to speak when all is ■air and prosperous, and prompUy target in times of distress and strug­ gle. That is just where Christiani- Iy shows forth at its best, for it is n the hour of need, sorrow, or afflic­ tion that real Christian brotherhood shows its depth and durability. Paul was in prison when he wrote to Philemon. The one of whom he wrote, Onesimus, was a slave who tad deserted his master and proba­ bly defrauded him (v.18). He had oeen converted, and now was being sent back to his master. So we lave three Christian men dealing with a very delicate matter, and pro­ viding us a picture of brotherhood in action. We learn that it is— I. Courteous (w . 4-9). After a fine spiritual salutation, Paul enters upon an appeal to Phile­ mon which is a model of tact and sourtesy. One could wish that those who think that being faithful to the Lord and true to His Word means being blunt and unkind, would learn if Paul. First he lets Philemon know of Iis prayerful interest in him. Paul had been praying for him, that’s why he could say such a helpful word. Praying for our fellow man prepares us for genuine brotherly love.Then he recognizes Philemon’s goodness, and his effective testimo­ ny for Christ. This is an excellent approach to the making of a re­ quest, but be sure that it was not empty or hypocritical flattery. We do well to recognize the fine quali­ ties of our Christian brother, and we could profitably speak of them more than we do. Then Paul was ready to make his request. See how nicely he does it. He skillfully reminds Philemon that he might make some demands, and especially in view of his age and his imprisonment. But he will not do so, rather he says, “I beseech thee.” There is fine Christian cour­ tesy. II. Considerate (w . 10-16). Paul, the aged prisoner, had found in his new convert, Onesimus, a real helper. He would have liked to keep him. In fact, says he to Philemon, Onesimus could do for me the things you would want to do if you were here (v. 13). Undoubtedly Paul could have been sure of the willingness of Philemon. He could have assumed that the re­ quest would be granted. And in any case, Philemon did not even know where Onesimus was, so why not keep him?True Christian consideration re­ spects the personal rights and the property rights of another. We must not assume, or demand, or put pres­ sure on anyone (v. 14) to get what they have or to draw out their serv­ ice. Another expression of considera- Uon is found in verses 15 and 16. Philemon had lost a heathen slave, now he is receiving back a Chris­ tian brother. No worker will give less in service, and no master will demand more, because the two are both Christians. We need to recog­ nize that fact, for all too often men presume on their relaUonship as brethren. But the fact that they are Christians should make a great dif­ ference in their "attitude toward one another. III. CooperaUve (vv. 17-21). Partners share the benefits and the burdens of their joint enterprise. Partners in the gospel, like Paul and Philemon, shared not only spir­ itual blessings, but also the respon- sibiliUes. Paul was presenting such an item to Philemon in the return oi Onesimus. Something had to be done about the debt of Onesimus his failure as a servant. Paul says, “Charge it to me, your partner.”- It has been pointed out that there is here a blessed example of the im­ portant doctrine of imputaUon, which is the “act of God whereby He ac­ counts righteousness to the believe) in Christ,” because He “has borne the believer's sins in vindicaUon o! the law.” So we note that verses I? and 18 perfectly illustrate imputa tion. Paul’s promise “I Will repay it’ (v. 19) was the legal phraseology ol a promissory note in his day. Ii was a bonafide partnership transac tion, yet it was coupled with a re minder of indebtedness. Everythini Philemon had and was he owed t< Paul; but, says Uie latter, “I wil not speak of that now.” Considera tion again, but opening the dooi wide for Philemon’s cooperation. No right thinking person is conteu always to be on the receiving hand The humblest recipient of favor oi the smallest child who feels the Iovi of another wants to respond. Th< considerate friend will, therefore not always insist on giving, but wil graciously (like Paul) open the waj for cooperation, for partnership.

A r t i f i c i a l l y B r e d , Stock Often Better Plan to Restore ; European Herds Postwar Europe’s barnyard ba­ bies may never get to see their fa­ thers. Test-tube livestock breeding may, In fact, solve the problem of quickly rebuilding depleted herds and flocks in the war-devastated regions, ac­ cording to a report issued this week by the American Foundation for An­ imal Health. This method of live­ stock breeding which was first de­ veloped on a broad scale in Russia, has already been used extensively In this country. To Europe it offers the advantage of avoiding the de­ lays and transportation difficulties which would be involved in shipping breeding animals from this country to the reclaimed battle areas. In­ stead, male germ cells of various species of farm animals could be collected in this country, flown by fast planes to Europe, and used to fertilize cows, mares, and ewes of the devastated countries. Experiments by American veteri-. narians have shown that male germ cells for breeding purposes can be kept active and potent for as long as 130 hours in transit, at a tempera­ ture of 40 degrees. For such ship­ ment, the semen is diluted with egg yolk and mineral salts. In this form enough for breeding thousands of farm animals could be flown to Eu­ rope in a single plane. Already Widely Used. This practice of artificial insemi­ nation is already widely used in the United States. In many areas, groups of dairy farmers have band­ ed together and formed cooperative organizations acquiring the use of high quality bulls and the services of trained veterinarians, the latter su­ pervising the breeding animals and doing the inseminating. In this way, hundreds of herds in an area are able to utilize a proven sire of a type which would be beyond the financial reach of the average farm- tr. Carefully kept records of various artificial breeding associations show that this “test tube” method may be actually more efficient than natural methods, producing a higher per­ centage of conceptions. Also, it has been shown that some of the test- tube heifers become better milk pro­ ducers than their mothers. Just how practical this applica­ tion may be to postwar Europe’s needs is indicated by the fact that a cow in Argentina was recently bred to a bull in Maryland, by the test- tube method. I- Cleanliness around the separator Is essential.. Deep Tillage Drains Off Swamps and Water Holes “Water holes and temporary ponds on many farms can be drained by deep tillage practices, which in­ cludes the heavy application of lime on the surface or in the subsoil,” advises C. M. Nissley of Rutgers U. “This makes conditions favorable for deep-rooted crops which help to open up the soil.” The practice would not be appli­ cable to fields where the surface soil is underlaid with three or more feet of clay, however. Because of this, Nissley suggests that a hole three feet deep or deeper be dug in order to find out the character of the soil formation before remedial measures are put into practice. He also suggests that the county agri­ cultural agent be consulted for addi­ tional advice on deep tillage prac­ tices.

That’s right, something cool and luscious to make us forget sweltering sun, high temperature and humidity. In this class of foods come the cool, tinkling drinks, dewy salads ■ and frosty des­ serts. Even the main dish can be cool, a filling meal salad for those who want hearty foods, jel­ lied tuna or salm­ on molds with icy cucumber sauce, ar heaps of satisfying potato salad. Whole meals can be made from cool foods, but it’s a good idea to have something warm, even if only toasted or heated rolls so the family does not tire of them. Sometimes you’ll find a cup of hot tea more cooling with cool foods than, an iced drink; other times, it's just the op­ posite. Let your ‘ judgment guide you. Let’s begin with a round-up of cooling drinks, some plain, some partified: Strawberry Frost. I pint strawberries I pint lemon ice Carbonated water Clean and crush berries. Pour Into six glasses. Add lemon ice and stir until well mixed, then fill glasses with carbonated water. ’Fruited Tea.

Walter E. Isenhour. HiddeDite. N. C. Regardless of the fact that we are living in a day of greed, selfsh- ness, pride, worldliness, drunken­ ness, lust, pleasure seeking and mo­ ney-grabbing, yet there are still many good people. They love God, the Holy Bible, their fellowmen, the church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the truth of God, righteous­ ness, holiness and all that is up­ lifting and ennobling. Thank God for this and praise His holy and matchless name forever. This class of people have willing minds and ready hands to serve God; and of course we serve Him by serving one another. Whenev er and wherever an opportunity presents itself to bless humanity, do good, win souls and help pilg­ rims on their journey heavenward, chey are on the spot. They pray, they give, they enconrage, they uplift. If there is need in the commun­ ity of a church they do not hesi- ,ate to give of their money, their material, their time and labor. They realize tfaat all they have comes as a blessing from God, therefore glad­ ly give back to God a part of what He blesses tfiem with. Such peo­ ple are the best citizens 1 f our country. They are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. God shines through them to bless others The only reason that many of these people do not do more for God and His cause is because they are not able. If they bad more they would give more. Among them are numbers of conscientious tithers; and they also give liberally out of the remaining nine tenths. God blesses them with health and strength, salvation and happiness. They enjoy life, and greatly appre­ ciate the good things they receive from the bountiful hand of God. They are happy to do something for the good of their neighbors, tbeir country, and for the advance­ ment of God’s cause. It is a pleas, ure to them to live for others God’s love is she abroad in their hearts and they delight to do H’s blessed will. Those wbo love God and man­ kind always have willing minds and ready hands to help the sick and afflicted, the poor and needy, the orphans, the church of our Lord Jesus Christ, the ministers of the Gofpel, and they delight to contribute to the spread of the Gos­ pel over all the earth. It is blessed to live for God with a willing mind and ready hands. Not everyone who is working in war plants are doing so to help win the war. Many of them are working to get the cash to buy new automobiles, nylon hosiery and polatial homes after the war is over. The Record only $1.00.

R o o sev elt G unning F or R ep u b lican O n A C oalition T ick et A well known Washington news columnist says tfaat around the White House it is whispered that it wasn’t entirely diplomatic business that brought U. S. Ambassador John Wlnant back from London. Tn fact, some of FDR’s friends hint that the President has Winant in mind as bis running mate on a Re­ publican Democratic coalition ticket. The President first got to know Winant when the former was Gov­ ernor of New York and the latter was Governor of New Hampshire, F. D. R. was close to several Re­ publican Governors at that time, a nother being GiCod Pinchot of Pen- nsylvania. After hs entered the White House, the President appointed Winant as U. S. representative to the International Labor Office in Geneva, then brodght him back to head the SoJal Security BoaTd, later made him U. S. Ambassador sador to Great Britain. Those around the President find him turning over in his mind the idea of a prominent, liberal Repub­ lican as his running mate. Pro­ bably this dates from his reading of the life Abraham Lincoln and the fact that, in the war election of 1864 Lincoln a Republican purposely drafted a Democrat, Andrew John son, to be Vice President. Various Republicans have been talked about or scrutinized by the President including War Produc­ tion Board wizard Charles Wilson and Undersecretary of State Ed Stettinius. But Iattelv1 the Presi­ dent is reported veering to Ambas­ sador Winant, on the ground that Winant, having spent some time a- broad, would be best qualified to handle foreign policy and mold the peace, if and when F. D.. R. him­ self should want to step down after the war is over. D em ocratic P rop h ets Speaking before the New York De mocrats, Thomas Jefferson dinner on May 8. Democratic National Chairman Robert E. Hannegan, dis­ credited Democratic boBS in his home city, St. Louis, told the $50*per.plate dinners that he was convinced Pre- sident Roosevelt would be a candi­ date for a fourth term, would be re* nominated and reelected- but he made it clear bis opinion was a per­ sonal one and that he had not dis­ cussed the matter with the President. Such a confession is amusing to observers in Washington, where it is generally known that the fourth term has been the subject of almost daily discussion at the White House for severai months. Perhaps the prediction recently made by a more astute politital observer than Chair- man Hannegan will affect the Presi< dent’s ultimate decision. James A. Farley, former Demo­ cratic National Chairman, was quot­ ed on March 27 by a reputable news­ paper columnist as predicting that "if the Presidential election were held tomorrow the Democratic Par­ ty would lose every state with the exception of the Solid South.” Far­ ley was created with basing his pre diction “on what he believes already to be a 5 per cent national turn-over iri votes, and !he does not foresee anything to altar this picture by November 7.” F ood F or V ictory? A newspaper dispatch dated Mach 27 states that 48,000 cans of evaporated milk which had been stored in Philadelphia for the Fed­ eral Surplus Commodities Corpora­ tion was ordered dumped because of spoilaee. The milk was packed 48 cans to the case and bad a vdue of approximately $3 60 a case. P atton L a sh es‘M achine* R ule Morganton—On the heels of the Democratic primary which nomi nated R. Gregg Cherry as his op­ ponent for the fall election. Frank C. Patton, Republican candidate for Governor, struck at machine- picked candidates and predicted that many Democrats will join forces with Republicans “in re­ storing the government of North Carolina to the people.” ■‘The real issue in North Caro- lina,” the Morganton attorney said, “is whether we will continue to al­ low a small group of political lead ers to select our Governn and State officials and dominate the Legisla­ ture for the benefit of those wbo will they are obligated to obey." Patton, former U. S. district at­ torney, sounded a war call to his own party. “As Republicans, we must get our house In order, or­ ganize every precinct and march to victory in November,” be declered. The Republican nominee, the first of the 1944 crop of gubernatorial candidates to advocate a statewide liquor vote bill in a "committee prepared to preach its funeral” with "the people denied the op portunity of voting on this vital moral issue.” "The primaries are now history. The Democratic machine has again nominated its candidates for Gov­ ernor as has been the custom for more than forty years. Issues or personalties amount to little or nothing in a Democratic primary, The headlines after the primary sing the same familiar tune ‘organ­ ization candidate wins, all incumb. ent Slate officers renominated.’ ‘‘The real issue in North Caro­ lina is whether we will continue to allow a small group of political lea­ ders to select our Governor and Stbte officials, and dominate the Legislature for the benefit of those whose will they are obliged to 0 bey. Any party or faction exer­ cising unlimited political power for a long period of time becomes our master rather than our servant They will answer, ‘It can’t happen here.’ My answer is that it has happened here. Since the passage of the local option liquor law, the ministers and church people of North Carolina have petitioned and clamored for the right to vole in a statewide referendum on the manu­ facture and sale of liquor. Always the bill is introduced, always it is given lip service by the Governor, always it has beeu referred to a committee prepared to preach its funeral, and always the funeral ceremony has been brief and to the point. The liquor forces triumph, the people denied the opportunity of voting on this vital moral issue. ‘‘Thousands of Democrats In the state now realize that the machine is so strongly intrenched that they cannot defeat it in a primary elec­ tion. They are still Democrats but they are willing to join lorces with us in this election in restoring the government of North Carolina to the people. As Republicans, we must get our house in order, or ganize every precinct and march to victory in November.” “ F em a le S teer” The House of Representatives Banking and Currency Committee members were surprised recently to learn that an official of OPA’s Cat­ tle Division asked a citizen: "Do you still' have male and female steers in Texas?" Representative Wright Patman, high New Dealer who tries to defend everything the New Deal does, told the committee the OPA offieial had been dis. charged He didn’t explain how such ignorant persons could get a Government job paving $5,000 a year and up. C an R o o sev elt A n sw er? In a recent publication the fol­ lowing statements were given as food for thought: "Gasoline is being rationed to common citizens but the brewery trucks are still rolling. “Milk is being delivered every otber day, and beer is being deliv­ ered every day. “Drink is decreasing the quality and quantity of war Droduction while the drink makers are urging people to drink more. “Ordinary American citizens are urged to avoid needless travel while transportotlon facilities are rreely accorded to beer and whisky. “Much of the food of the coun­ try is being destroyed to maae al­ coholic beverages while a shortage of many kinds of food is developing. “Men are staving away from work on Monday because they were drunk on Sunday, and still we make intoxicants. "The Japanese are still in the Philippines, the East Indies and Cbino, while we hold in America infantry which is better than their Infantry, artillery which outclasses tbeir artillery, and aviators who can fly circles around their aviators —all of this for want of ships which might have been produced if we had not permitted the liqdor traffic to sabotage production. "Bow down, America, before the brewer! He outranks the citizen, who is being told what he can and cannot do. Nobody tells the brew­ er what he can or cannot do. He is above the church, above the school, above the school, above the home, above ordinary American cl tizens who only pay their taxes and send their sons.to war.” N o G as— L ess O ats A Democratic Pongressman from Oklahoma, member of a HouBe sub* committee investigating gasoline ra­ tioning practices, cites the experi­ ence of a farmer in his state who couldn’t sow bis oats because two ra­ tion boards eBch contended the other should issue his gas ration. The farmer has bis farmhouse in Pottawatomie Countv, while moat of his land is in Seminole County. So he applied to the Pottawatomie board for gasoline for his tractor, but was told he should go to the Seminole board. The latter board refused the request, telling him he really belonged to Pottawatomie in the first place. The buck-passing continued for several days while the farmer, for­ ced to leave his work, used up gaso­ line shuttling back and forth bet­ ween the two counties seeking re­ lief. By the time he finally got the gas, he had to give up planting 160 acres of oats in tLe heart of a region where there is an acate feed short* age. The Congressman told the chief of OPA gasoline rationing enforcement that OPA maladministration is forc­ ing honest citizens into technical violations of OPA rules “so the; can get on with the war. OPA rulings and misapplications of regulations are making violators out of Ameri­ can people who don’t wan’t to break and laws but are forced into techni­ cal breaches so they can do their jobs.” _____________ Land posters at this office.

THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVTLLE, N. C. !Efficient Feeding Gets Better Results Csureful Management , Needed to Meet Goals j Sicseased efficiency can solve part of the 1944 livestock and poultry Seeding problem, according to War !Food administration officials. ; During 1942-43, about 28 per cent more feed concentrates was em­ ployed than during 1941-42, but out­ put of livestock products increased by only 13 per cent. Officials point out that if the rate pf feeding can be held midway be- Sweea the two-thirds of a ton of con­ centrates per livestock unit fed dur­ ing 1941-42 and the three-fourths of a Son fed during 1942-43, production goals of 1944 should be achieved with see of only 140.7 million tons of feed concentrates. This would be about 7 million tons less than last year s feeding. Suggestions made by department sf agriculture officials with regard to feeding efficiency include: Light logs can be produced with less feed per pound than heavy hogs; more eggs can be produced with Jfess feed by culling out more of the aon-layers and keeping a larger per­ centage of pullets; beef cattle should Se fed shorter and lighter; and more dependence should be placed an roughage for cattle and sheep. Experts urge elimination of crowded farm conditions whereever possible. With many farmers rais­ ing more corn and soybeans, for example, less pasture is available saui resulting crowded conditions contribute to disease and to death loss among animals and poultry. Farmers in feed surplus areas lave been urged to produce the sommodities they can produce best and to adjust their livestock opera- Siocs to a level -that will enable the shipment of some surplus feed to die farmers in deficit-feed areas. & ■ “Have you noticed a difference in fhis elover since the boss started using phosphates and lime?’’ Yearling Heifers Thrive On Plenty of Roughage Heifers, like older cows, are capa­ ble of utilizing large amounts of soughage. Dr. George E. Taylor, extension dairyman at Rutgers U., says that feeding heifers all the roughage they will eat is a grain- saving practice worth considering. “Yearling heifers can be success­ fully raised on roughage alone from sue year of age to two months prior to freshening,” Dr. Taylor reports. ■“During summer, heifers must be provided abundant pasture in order to make good gains on pasture alone, this can best be done by a system •sf rotation grazing. A large group si Holstein and Guernsey heifers zt the New Jersey Dairy Research farm, Sussex county, averaged a gain of one and a. fifth pounds per day on pasture alone. Holsteins gained an average of one and a half pounds and Guernseys one pound. “In winter, the same group of heifers on hay and silage alone gained from a fifth of a pound to one pound a day. During the entire period, the heifers were normal and sarried plenty of flesh.” i Heifers under one year of age must be fed some grain to grow normally. The required amount de­ pends upon the quality of roughage fed. However, baby calves can be raised on a minimum amount of milk and changed to dry feed at Sve to six weeks of age, resulting m a saving of both milk and grain. “Some dairymen may be tempted to discontinue raising heifers in or­ der to conserve grain," Dr. Taylor •says, “but this would be a short­ sighted program from the stand­ point of the future dairy industry. However, do not waste feed by rais- tog poor heifers. Select only the best heifers for replacements.” : Farm Notes The best ,way of turning a cow dry is to reduce the amount of feed and, when necessary, limit the amount of water and simply stop JrriHdng.• * « Enough butter has been allocated by the War Food administration to give civilians during 1944 slightly more than a pound a month per capita, a total of 76 pounds out of every 100 pounds of creamery and farm butter available. Wedding Bells Bring Out Brides, Beauty and Gayety Bride’s Shower Cake is a delicate angel food frosted prettily with fresh strawberry icing, garnished with whole berries. Here comes the bride!

A GOOD SOLDIER OF CHRIST JESCS ■VSi LESSON TEXT—n Tlmethy J:M, B-Iti 1:5-8.GOLDEN TEXT—Sutter hardship with m® as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.—n Timo­thy 2:8. “A good soldier”—what a wealth of meaning there is in that simple phrase. We think of our own home­ town boys who have distinguished themselves in the service of their country, who have proved again that thefe is that in American life which can meet a crisis and do it well. “A good soldier of Jesus Christ” is an even more significant phrase, speaking of that fine loyalty and de­ votion which Christians of all ages, yes, and of our day, are giving to the Captain of our salvation, our Commander-in-Chief in the great spiritual warfare going on in all the earth. In our lesson we note that the soldier is— L Obedient (2:1, 2). There is something to be done, and the soldier is enlisted for the purpose of doing it. In the case of the Christian soldier, it is to see that the gospel message which he has received is passed on to others. Personal work is God’s method, one man telling another, and an­ other, and another. This is to be a continuous matter, not just now and then, and each one is in turn to be­ come a soul-winner. As each one wins others and the witness is multiplied by the law of arithmetical progression, the total result is tremendous. Why, then, has the entire wacfd not been long since completely evan­ gelized? Because we who are Chris­ tians are not all obedient soldiers of Christ. II. Loyal (2:3, 4). No soldier can serve well with a divided loyalty. He cannot be run­ ning a business back home, or taking on outside interests to divert his attention. Being an efficient and useful soldier is his first and only business. Have not the military authorities In this war asked those who are at home to keep the problems of the home and business out of the letters to men in the army? Do they not require a man to leave home and family and give his all to the serv­ ice? The soldier for Christ must please the Lord, even though it involve bearing “hardness.” It is no soft and easy business to be a soldier. “Blood, sweat and tears” are the order of the day. Shall we not do as much for our Lord? n i. Prepared (2:8-12). Training is of highest importance for a soldier. He must know what to do, and why he is doing i t He must understand the reason for obe­ dience and the purpose of the war­ fare. In other words, he must be a disciplined man, prepared to serve effectively. The soldier for the Lord is to “re­ member Jesus Christ,” his resur­ rected Lord and victorious Com­ mander. He knows for whom and under whom he fights. He also knows (vv. 10, 11) that the message he bears is God’s Word, and will succeed even though the bearer of it suffer and die. He is prepared to die, if need be, before he will deny his Leader (v. 12). IV. Faithful (4:5-7). Watch, endure, work, be faithful to the very end. Such is the obliga­ tion, yes, and privilege of the soldier for Christ. Paul was able to ad­ monish young Timothy to such com­ plete faithfulness because he had himself exemplified these virtues in his own life. Those who are called upon to com­ mand men must themselves be good soldiers. There is an encouraging note from the battlefields of this great war. One learns that the com­ manding officers are at the front, not hidden away in dugouts far behind the lines. The men take courage as they see the bravery of their officers. What that meant in Paul’s case may be learned from the story of his life, which is condensed in a brief statement in II Corinthians 12: 23-33. He really endured affliction for Christ’s sake. V. Victorious (v. 8). A nation at war can stand the strain and bear the agony if it can be sure of ultimate victory. The grave disappointment of losing a bat­ tle, or the deep sorrow of heavy casualties, can and will be borne for the sake of the final triumph of the righteous cause. In Uie battle for Christ, we know that the result will be victory. The faithful soldier shares the fruits of victory. The Christian soldier shall one day receive from his Lord and Leader a crown of righteousness. When will that great day come? When Jesus Christ returns (Matt. .16:27). He is coming again; first for His own, and then in glorious revelation of Himself as the judge ol all the world. His victory over all His enemies will then be complete, and He shall reign forever and ever.

MOCKSVILLE, N. C. going off tne road ev! old age and smash-ups. There are some 500,000 for-hire trucks also available, m any of them running on worn-out tires. Of the trucks now owned by farm­ ers, 55 per cent—about 660,000—are more than seven years old, and about half of these are more than ten years old. To organize the operation of these trucks, m ost of which are owned by individual farm ers, 142 district of­ fices were set up and 20,931 trans­ portation advisory c o m m itte e s formed, involving 88,913 persons. Working Better This Year This organization worked pretty well in m ost areas last year, al­ though there was a good deal of grumbling, which was only natural. It is working better this year, and there is less grumbling because the necessity for cooperation is consid­ erably greater and is generally rec­ ognized. Everyone realizes this year why there is so great a shortage of trucks. Our arm y has prepared for the greatest invasion operation of all tim es. It knew that virtually any advance made on any front would have to be accompanied by heavy truck m ovem ents, for the en­ em y w ill tear, up every bit of rail line he can as he retreats,. and it takes tim e to repair railway beds, bridges, culverts and lay new track. Bo the army has taken virtually the entire output of new trucks for military purposes. In 1941 there were 750,000 trucks produced for civilian use, of which number 456,000 replaced worn-out or obsolete equipment. When the Unit­ ed States entered the war, about 150.000 trucks in the hands of manu­ facturers or dealers were "frozen.” These have been placed where there was greatest need, and now are all working. During 1942 and 1943, only 3.000 new trucks were turned out for civilian use. The program for 1944 calls for 88,000 trucks for civilian al­ location, but m ost of these will be produced in the second half of the year. If we get all that have been pro­ gram m ed this year, the total avail­ able for three years will be only 241,- 000 to replace a normal disappear­ ance of 1,368,000 trucks. That gives only the statistical pic­ ture. The more difficult operation has been to get a great many peo­ ple, strong on managing their own affairs in their own way, to work together toward the common goal of winning the war. Schedule on All Crops The first m ove in this direction was to program crop-moving opera­ tions, Schedules have been set up in every area for important crops. For instance, through cooperative use of trucks, dairy farm ers and cream eries plan to save 58,000,000 truck m iles in 'moving m ilk and cream . Duplication .of routes has been alm ost eliminated. Fruit and vegetable crops for canning have re­ quired special planning. • Where perishable crops m ust be moved to canning factories, round- ' the - clock programs have been worked out, wherever canning facil- ites are large enough to take care of this traffic. In som e instances, hours of waiting at both ends of the haul have been elim inated by careful planning. When there are not enough trucks in one area to take care of the traffic, the com m ittees study the problem to see how many can be diverted temporarily from other oc­ cupations. Trucks used for hauling lumber or cem ent, for instance, can be diverted for a tim e to m ove to­ m atoes or fruit crops in season. When sufficient trucks cannot be found in the area, assistance is giv­ en in finding more from adjacent areas. Requisitioning of equipment is possible, but persuasion is generally effective. iks Bunk Like This on ItaKan Line ki naps, as opportunity offers, only about 460 yards behind the battle line in (’em.

Six Fortresses g« on a mission over Macassar Strait where there Is a huge concentration of Jap ships. They make their bomb runs and on the return trip Major Robinson's plane goes Into a dive and crashes In- 4O the sea. V. S. planes circle over the sad Queen. CHAPTER XIII “I now watched this last four fall­ ing through what was practically a striped fog made by Jap pom-poms coming up at us. We could see the Japs crowding the rails, trying to jump overboard as the bombs gath­ ered speed. The first bomb plunked into the water alongside, but the other three went smack! smack! smack! right down what had been her promenade deck, and it looked like she was coughing up into the sky a kind of confetti made up of planking splinters and Jap infantry. My right wing man, who was re­ leasing his bombs synchronized with me, scored four hits across the back of this ship. “You ought to hear Beardshear, our tail gunner, tell about it. Not having any Zeros to keep him busy, he was enjoying the scenery and playing ‘Yankee Doodle' on the deck planking with his .50-calibers. He says we passed over so close that he looked down the funnels, and he called to us over the interphones that he could see what they were go­ ing to have for chow—rice and fish heads. Then we made our turn, and went on back to Batavia, which was crowded with refugees from Singapore. "About this time,” said Frank Kurtz, "I got word from the Colo­ nel that at last some American P-40 fighters were on their way up from Australia, equipped with belly tanks so they could take it in hops, land­ ing for fuel at Kupang airdrome on Timor Island. It was part of my liaison job to get them settled with the Dutch fighters at their airdrome at Gnoro. It was another beauti­ fully hidden field. The Dutch had to lead them to it with an escort plane. ‘When they landed I found there were nine, led by my old friend Major Bud Sprague, whom I hadn’t seen since the Philippines. I asked him where Buzz Wagner was, and he said Buzz just hadn’t been lucky. They’d told Uiem In Australia that one of them had to stay behind and give the newly arriving fighter pilots a little extra training, while the other would lead the squadron in Java. Buzz and Bud had tossed an Australian shilling to decide it, and Buzz had lost; he was stuck with that training job. “The Dutch fighter pilots, who are just as prancy as ours, were all ex­ cited and doing their stuff. They’d led Bud in formation, and now they were putting on a show for him. They’d dive onto the field in an at­ tack string, and just before they hit, they turned almost straight up in the air and then, a few thousand feet up, that string opened out in all directions like the petals of a rose. “Bud had to admit the Dutch were good. But he said he had to take one of his planes up for a test that afternoon and show ’em how to fly. “Bud hit it off with them right away. He praised the camouflage on their field. When he came back next day, I heard him take his own youngsters in hand. Of course it was the old hooey, but he gave them one serious warning. “ ‘This is the best-camouflaged field we’ll ever operate on,’ he told them, ‘so remember—I don’t want anyone to cross this field with a Zero on his tail. Bail out, beach it, but don’t come back here with com­ pany.’ As a result, the Japanese didn’t find Gnoro Field until two days before the end. “Not long after they came, I rang Bud up with a queer assignment for the boys. We were doing every­ thing possible to stop the Japs from swarming over onto Sumatra from Malaya. The Forts were out past­ ing their landing barges morning and night. We were using them practically as heavy pursuit—skim­ ming down under the weather to chase landing barges going up the rivers. “So we asked Bud to deliver a lit­ tle strafing, and off they went, car­ rying belly tanks to get them there and stopping off at Andir. Tliey went to work with 30-pound frag­ mentation bombs and their machine guns, and when they got back Bud reported the P-40’s had had Japs diving off those barges in full field equipment. He sank quite a few and drowned hundreds of Japs, and every P-40 got back to Java. “But they were closing in on us from still another direction. We could no longer operate from those advance fields at Kendari and Sam- arinda across the Java Sea. Tlie Japs had moved into Borneo and the Celebes. So we waited for what we knew was coming. They must be stacking Jap bombers onto what had been our own fields there— within easy range of Java. “We didn’t have to wait long. One Q U E E N S D I E P R O U D L Y IT . J?. W A i l l m 0 W.N.U.TEATUftEt morning I was at the KNILM Air­ field at Surabaya, checking on a transport plane which was supposed to be bringing in ground crews for Bud Sprague’s fighters, when at Op­ erations they reported in great ex­ citement that a Jap bomber force was over Java itself, headed down the island. (Abbreviation for ttKaninkUjke Neder- landseh-lndische Luchtvamt Maatsehap- pij" meaning Royal Dutch Indies Airplane Company.) “I was panic-stricken for fear they might branch off at Malang and catch our Forts on the ground there. Luckily the pass was bottled up with fog, so they came on down toward us at Surabaya. "At almost exactly eleven o’clock we could hear them hitting the city off in the distance. We Imew they wouldn’t miss us. I’ll never forget poor old Baalerts, the head of that KNILM Field. He’d never been bombed before, and asked me what to do. He had already crawled into his car. I told him that was the worst thing he could do, that we should run for the concrete slit trenches at the edge of the field. “As we ran, we could hear the second wave coming in over the har­ bor next to our airdrome—hear the hollow echo as the bombs crashed into the oil storage base. They practically leveled Moro Kamban- gem, the Dutch naval base there, coming in out of the sun—it was real­ ly a beautiful job from the profes­ sional standpoint. It’s second in size only to Singapore. The docks were left a shambles. Our American Na­ vy’s PBY’s of Patrol Wing 10 were anchored there. One or two were burned on the ways, but the rest managed to take off, although the He had been anxious that his wife know that he was all right. He died at three in the morning. Japs strafed a dingy full of sailors rowing out to them. They also scored a direct hit on the barracks there, so for the second time those poor guys of Patrol Wing 10 lost all they had—the first had been at Cavite in the Philippines. ‘‘Now came the third wave, head­ ed right for our airdrome. Echoing around in the cement of our slit trenches, the sound of the crashes was terrific. Poor old Baalerts was down there lying on the concrete floor, his white bridal suit soaking up half an inch of dirty rain water. We were all thankful when we heard that bomb pattern moving away. They’d laid a nice strip across the field, but only one bomb happened to hit the macadam strip. “I was just hoisting out of the trench what was left of our bride­ groom—there had been a lot of noise and I’m afraid his condition was pretty grave—when the Zeros hit, so we got Baalerts back down again. “AU the Dutch had to meet them were twelve export-model Curtiss pursuits. They had little motors and were hardly better than advanced trainers. The Dutch had come to America in 1939 with nice shiny new- mined gold in their hands, begging to buy fighters. But this was all we could spare them, and it was the entire Dutch fighter force, ex­ cept for another dozen which finally got back from Samarinda. Well, this brave dozen was up to do what it could against about ten Zeros. “We watched one Dutchman com­ ing in for fuel when two Zeros crossed his tail, their guns going full-blast, hammering tracers into his tail—watched his plane roll over and dive into the red dust at the edge of the field. “Now another Dutch pilot comes in, with a Zero streaking for his tail, the Dutchman dodging all the way to the ground. Fifty feet from the ground he slips to the right to avoid that stream of tracers, but it’s too late. Flames come gushing out, yet he manages to land and jump out of the burning plane. It’s a ter­ rific fight overhead; we can hear the faraway rattles as they clear their guns—the brave Dutch kids are fighting for their homeland, and sev­ en planes were lost that morning of the twelve which had been Java’s only defending Dutch fighter force. '“As I climbed out I realized the picture was darkening fast. We were depending on our Fortresses to keep the Jap transports away from Java, but we had to have fighters to de­ fend our flying fields. “But it wasn’t until later in the day that I found out the Zeros had got Major Straubel, one of our own squadron commanders. He’d been piloting a B-18 we used for transpor­ tation, and was coming from Malang to Surabaya to talk with Genersd Brett. The Zeros hit, and from the ground they saw him go over the hill on fire. “They brought him into Surabaya hospital, and of course I went right out. It was in confusion because of the raid, but tiptoeing down those dim corridors, I finally found Strau- bel’s roofci. He was burned black, and there was no hope, but they’d given him morphine-to put him to sleep, and he was groaning in his sleep. But until then, when he'd been conscious, he hadn’t let out a groan—had just beea anxious that the nurse let his wife know he was all right. He died at three in the morning. ‘‘While the liaison work lasted I was quartered at the big hotel in Surabaya, and the whole thing didn’t feel right. You weren’t sure of these natives as you had been of the Fili­ pinos. That night a few were shot who were caught flashing lights into the air. And at the hotel the bare­ footed waiters, who slipped silently between tables and in and out of the high-ceilinged rooms, began to dis­ appear. “My own boy turned up a couple of days later, however—with tears in his eyes. Said he was back and to stay. He wasn’t sure what this war was about, but he’d taken his mother and sister to the country, and was back for the rest of the war. “Jap Intelligence must have been very good, because one bomber had peeled off the formation and made a direct run on the newly complet­ ed Dutch Army-Navy building (they had just moved in), scoring a near- miss. “Meanwhile there was something else to straighten out. The Dutch fighters alone had been defending Surabaya—where had our P-40’s been? Well, it turned out that in that Dutch fighter-control room they hadn’t been able to speak English clearly enough for our boys to un­ derstand over the radio, so they’d been off in another comer of the sky. Getting someone in there who could talk with an American accent was another job for me. “The Forts of course had been pounding away at the Japs, and had come back with ominous news— they’d spotted a Jap carrier out in the Java Sea and sent it away limp­ ing. If they’d had more strength and could have laid down a denser bomb pattern, they’d have sunk the damned thing. The Navy’s PBY flying boats of Patrol Wing 10 were doing a wonderful reconnaissance job finding targets for us—every morning or so you might wake up to find a Jap carrier at almost any comer of the island. The PBY’s would sight a little task force in the evening, but by the time I got word to our Forts to be out there next morning, often it had slipped away. “Most important of all, ten more fighters presently arrived—hopping up from Australia via our stepping- stones of Tim ir and Bali. They were led in by Captain Will Con­ nolly, a commercial pilot, who flew a Beechcraft and did the navigating for the fighters—that isn’t part of their training. He reported they’d only lost one, which cracked up in landing at Timor Field. “But they’d had plenty of excite­ ment. Just as they were approach­ ing Timor the boys had engaged and shot down a Jap fighter. It made Connolly plenty jittery. He was an old hand at flying, but his little Beechcraft had no guns, and wouldn’t have lasted a minute in combat. So he hurried on out of there to land at Bali for lunch. But en route he sighted what was either a twin-tailed Messerschmitt HO or a twin-engined Mitsubishi bomber, on patrol, which altered course and was coming toward them. ‘‘Will Connolly had no radio in his Beechcraft to warn the, ten P-40’s in the formation he was leading, so he started going up and down fran­ tically to signal them. Sure enough, the Idds got the idea, and the two fighters on his wing peeled off and headed for the Jap. The first one put out his port engine, but the Jap feathered it and kept on going. But then he was hit by the second P-40, which, in spite of the fact that only two of its six gtrts were working, knocked out the starboard motor. And just to make sure of him, a third P-40, which by now had ar­ rived, dived in to chew his wing off.- “You should have heard those American kids when they got in.- Most of them were just out of flying school, and had never before flown a P-40 except for the three-hour practice Buzz Wagner had been able to give them as they passed through Brisbane. But now they had drawn first blood, and they were excited and yipping like a bunch of fox terrier pups chasing their first rab­ bit.

Your $25 or $50 or $100 Extra War Bond may not have great im­ portance in your mind in making up a 514 billion dollar to­tal for individu­ als. But multiply yourself by 130,000,000 and then you see in real perspective how truly great each citizen be­comes in massing national strength against the Nazis and the Japs. Capt. Maurice Witherspoon, Navy chaplain aboard the Carrier Wasp when she sank, tells of a rescued wounded sailor, who, as he re­ gained consciousness, asked: “Did I do my best?” That’s the only question you, too, have to ask yourself when you de­cide the extent of your personal participation in the Fourth War Loan. There undoubtedly will be large single purchases of War Bonds In this community, but yours—if It is "your best” will deserve equally the red, white and blue shield you are privileged to display in the win­dow of your home. “Let’I Keep Badang the Attack." THE EDITOR. To the People of this Community VOU CAN AFFORD IT You can afford to buy Extra War Bonds during this Fourth War Loan Drive. Everyone In this community knows incomes are higher than ever before— that both work­ers and farm­ers have more cash than ever before. Every­one knows that more than one member of hun­ dreds of fam­ilies are income earners—and everyone knows that increases in wages and salaries have far outstripped rising prices, and increased taxes. You can a&ord to buy Extra War Bonds. As a matter of fact, you can’t afford NOT to Buy Extra War Bonds. If you spend your money for needless, scarce goods, you are increasing prices . . . if you want to help win the war you can’t af­ford NOT to buy War Bonds. If you want to help that boy in the service, you can’t afford NOT to buy Extra Bonds and if you want a gilt-edged investment for your own future security, you can’t afford NOT to buy Extra War Bonds. Don’t just do the expected—buy Al] the Bonds you can. THE EDITOR.

And men by many thousands came, Attracted by her worldly fame, And as they gazed upon the scene They proudly crowned her as a queen. Her hair was curled about her head Her lips and cheeks were paint­ ed red; She dressed quite nude, though trne to style, That made the proud and lustful smile. And so they said, "She's such a bloom I want her photo for mv room.” Bnt watch the real run off the years And see this wicked queen in tears; Her beauty’s gone, her tame has Sown, And now she reaps the seed she’s sown; In great remorse she groans and sighs And in dispair lays down and dies. She goes unwept, because her life Has caused a lot of sin and strife; She’s helped to curse and wreck our youth And keep them from God’s bles­ sed truth, And from life’s best and highest goal With no salvation for the soul. She's separated wives and men, And now the unseen angel’s pen Records her wasted life and time, But writes for her no word sub­ lime; For God and truth and right she spurned As for the world she lived and yearned. And those who worshipped at her feet Passed on likewise their deeds to meet; "Unwept, unbcnored and unsung” They left no word by pen or tongue To place their names on history’s page To shine with patriarch and sage.

Graft in the sale of surplus war materials which may overshadow the scandal In the sale of surplus in the sale of surplus war property under the administration of Wood­ row Wilson, has been delved into by Congressman Tohn C. Cochran, Democrat of Missouri, who charged that a civilian employe of war de­ partment purchased for $15 a lot of batteries that cost the government more than $18,000. Otherlots1 the Congressman assests, which cost the government more than $18,000 Other lots, 'the Congressman as­ serts. which cost the government $122,934 were sold to the same em­ ploye fi r $65. Still another lot costing approximately $13,000 were sold to another civilian for $50. The government suffered a loss of $270 per machine on 4,000 mo torcycles, Cochran charged when they were returned to the seller at $130 each There is a ready mar­ ket for every motorcycle, Cochran asserted. Congressman Ed Rowe, Ohio Re­ publican asserted that "a certain brank-new article which ordinarily sells from $20 to $30, was made a- vailable to members of Congress at 80 cents each. "Within the shadow of this House, Congressman Rowe said, ‘surplus goods have been disposed of by the treasury department.” Other Congressmen, after hear ing the charges by Mr. Cochran, related instances where surplus pro­ perty In their district had been vir tually given away. “I have stated on numerous oc­ casions there is going to be billions of dollars of surplus property in T o W ives an d P a re o is o f S o ld iers If you are sending The Re­ cord to your husband or son who is in the armed forces, please see that his subscrip­ tion is paid in advance. We are forced to( discontinue all subscriptions to the boys-in foreign lands or in army camps in this country when their subscriptions expires. The soldiers want thier home paper. We have had to mark several names off our books this week. Maybe one of them was your husband or son. this country after th e war. ‘‘There is a tremendous amount of surplus property at the present time—goods of every description which cannot be purchased by the average citizen in the open market. Washington is overrun with indi- viduls who plan to obtain this ma­ terial for a ‘song’. ” Some of the speculators in sur­ plus war material are advertising in newspapers, Cochran charged his speech. Goods sold to civilian, Cochran declared, in “dear violation of the law,” for a paltry amount, were resold by the civilian of the law,” for a paltry amount, were resold by the civilian for $20,000. “Undoubtlv,” he added, “these surplus harpies recall what happen­ ed when surplus property was dis­ posed of during the first World War. I am sure the old members of the House, recall the scandals that developed as a result of the dis position of that property.” In d ep en d en t V oters The Southern Agriculturist hit the nail on the head in a recent is­ sue when it declared that in the past too many Southerners have voted blindly for a party candidate without regard to the merits or de merits of the man running for of­ fice. Southern AlricuIturist be­ lieves that the farmer is an indivi­ dual thinker who is smart enough to vote for a man rather than for a party. Vigorous issues and poll cies affecting the lives of all citizens of the United States will be decid­ ed in the fall elections. Platforms should be read carefully, and the candidates judged on their ability to carry out these platforms_ When a candidate for Congress in a Southern state remarked in a cam­ paign speech, “Now I am going to do something that will tax your memories,” a voice from the audi­ ence was heard to exclaim. “Heavens are they going to tax that too!” An X mark after your name means you owe us. H ow to K ill M ock sville Buy from peddlers as much as possible. Denounce your merchant because they make a profit on their goods. Glory in the downfall of a man who has done much to build up your town. Make your town out a bad place and stab it every chance yon get. Refuse to unite in any scheme for the betterment of the material interest of the people. Tell your merchants that you can buy goods a great deal cheaper in some other town and charge them with extortion. If a stranger comes to your town tell him everything is overdone, and predict a general crash in the near future. Patronize outside newspapers to the exclusion of your own and then denounce yours for not being as large as cheap as the city papers. If you are a merchant don’t ad vertise in the home paper, but com­ pel the editor to go elsewhere for advertisements and howl like a sore head because he does so. Buy a rubber stamp and use it It may save you a few dimes and make your letter heads and wrappers look as though you were doing busi­ ness in a one horse town. Tf you are a farmer, curse the place where you trade as the mean­ est on earth. Talk this over to your neighbors and tell them the men are robbers and thieves. It will make your property much less valuable but you don’t care.—Ex. S u gar-C oated P h ra ses People who subscribe to Mr. Roosevelt’s “ Four Freedoms” should study th e sugar-coated phrases and reason for themselves what actually could happen. They would find that they could lose their freedom and become slaves to the Four Freedoms because of the regulation and regimentation that necessarily would have to be used in enforcing this New Deal philo­ sophy. John Brandt, president of the National Cooperate Milk Produc­ ers’ Federation, offers a good illus­ tration. Mr. Brandt points to the lion in a cage as enjoying the Four Freedoms. The lion has freedom of speech; he can rave and roar all he wants to, no one can stop him. As tor freedom of worship, he can worship the female in the next cage to his heart’s desire. He has free dom of fear because he is behind bars and nobody can touch him, and he bas freedom from want be cause he is fed a large piece of meat when he is hungry. But there is one vital freedom be does not enjoy—he cannot go out and ob. tain those Four Freedoms for him­ self. The moral: It is possible for man to have all the four freedoms—to talk and think as he pleases and to be fed and sheltered in security— and yet be a slave. T h e F ou r F reed om s We have freedom from want and use it to eat junk, drink liquor, and wear zoot suits. We have freedom of speech and use it to tell foul stories, to deal in malicious gossip and to take God's name in vain. We have freedom of the press and use it to run moronic comic strips, to connuct Hollywood gos­ sip columns about the fifth Husband of the seventh wife and to retail the most vicious and villianous crimes. We have freedom of worship and use is as freedom from worship, never going to God's house to give gratitude to Him for His many and great blessings —Church Times. 1944 is more than an election year of decision tor the American; the year when they will decide whether to return to the American concept of government or go the whole way to collectivism.

And the white man dreams and wish­ es for a more familiar land. Somewhere in New Guinea, where a gal is never seen. Where the sky is never cloudy and the trees are always green. Where the rats have nightly picnics to rob a man of sieep, Where there aint no beer or whisky for a thirsty fellow’s treat. Somewhere in New Guinea, where the nights are made for love. Where the moon is like a gold piece. and the Southern Cross above. Sparkles like a set of diamonds in the night. What a Bhameless waste of beauty— there ain’t a gal in sight. Somewherein New Guinea, where the mail is always late. And a Christmas card in Aprii is considered up-to-date.

Somewhere in New Guinea, where the mail man passes by Without a letter for you. and you just sit down and cry. For your girl has found a fellow with a 4-F by his name, And a fancy yellow roadster that they park in lover’s lane. Somewberein New Guinea, where the ants and Iizzards play.

CRAIG HANES. Somewhere In New Guinea. N o t In d b p en sab Ie It is odd that some advocates of a fourth term do not believe Presi­ dent Roosevelt is indispensable. Se­ nator "On-Again-Qff Again” Bark lev admitted in a recent magazine article that Roosevelt is not an in. dispensable mao. The Senator says he doesn’t think anyone is indis. pensable Likewise, Charles Michaelson, the New Deal’s smear artist, ad­ mits in his book, "The Ghost Talks,” that Roosevelt is nothing more nor less than another politi cians. He makes it plain that he thinks the politicians in the White House is very dispensable. In other words, the only people who are supposed to think F. D. R. is Indispensable are the voters, who don’t know him. One of the best informed Demo, crats in Washington is quoted as stating that “President Rooseveitis one of the greatest politicians and one of the worst administrators the world has ever seen.” That’s bis opinion, and he covers a lot of ter. ritory— but millions of voters have come to the same conclusion and will not be inclined to challenge this prominent Democrat’s apprai­ sal of the New Dealers’ indispen­ sable man. “Show me a man who believes in unlimited debt, and says that mon­ ey makes no difference, and I’ll show you a would be dictator.”— Lewis Haney, Professor of Econo­ mics, New York University. w » s m W A R B O N D S S e a A lo n g M am S treet By The Street Rambler. 000000 Jim Wall standing in front of postoffice smoking long-stem pipe —Dr. Sam Hall delivering drinks on' hot day—Gossip Club bolding short session in front of nickel and dime store—Miss Kathleen Craven standing in postoffice lobby read, ing postal card—Two pretty girls searching for chewing gum— Miss Dorothy Benson on way to public library—Arthur Daniel resting in big cbair in front of hotel—Aged citizen waiting in front of cafe for hungry clerk to show up— Mrs. Woodrow Wilson doing early morr. ing shopping—Dr. P H.

L ese M ajesty The Office of Price Administra­ tion’s plans to use local police in every city and town in the nation to enforce OPA rules' and to inves- tigate violations has met with op­ position from an unexpected quar­ ter. According to OPA officials, 64 cities In eastern states have enacted ordinances, patterned after a model prepared by OPA, enlisting local police in enforcing OPA regula­ tions. But Chicago’s Democratic mayor, Boss” Kelly, who favors a fourth term for President Roosevelt, char­ acterized the OPA proposal a s wholly unworkable ” “Boss” Kelly objects to gearing Chicago’s police force into the New Deal bureaucracy by forcing every policeman walking his beat to act as an OPA snooper and subjecting himself to charges of malfeasance in office every petty bureaucratic em­ anating Washington. "We are not going to allow our police force to be used for fishing expeditions for any Federal agen­ cy,” declared Mayor Kelly, "We have our own ordinances to enforce. Inspections for violations of city li­ cense ordinances are bandied by the policemen, in addition to their major task of fighting crime. They’ve got their hands full right now, and I can’t see bow they can bow they can be expected to take over the work at the Federal Gov­ ernment.” O P A S ets C eiling O n C abbage, Sn ap B ean s The OPA bas set new retail ceil ing prices on cabbage, snap beans and field grown and hot house cu­ cumbers.

Let's Face Facts Farm er O rganizations O rganize Pressures To Clip Price Law s B y BARROW LYON S WNU Staff Correspondent — Barrow Lyons WASHINGTON, D. C. One of the hardest fought behind- the-scenes battles in congress in re­ cent months has been the fight to p r e se r v e price control—to main­ tain the Presi­ dent’s “hold-the- line” policy. Ad­ m inistration lead­ ers have felt that u n le s s virtually all changes to the em ergency price control act were defeated, the dev­ il o f in fla tio n would get his hoof inside the door; and that from then on there would be no stopping him until he had pulled down the house. This has seem ed an arbitrary and dictatorial viewpoint to leaders of farm organizations. AU over the country their clients, the farm ers of Am erica, have sm arted from vari­ ous OPA rulings. They have been determ ined to find som e relief from those which have irked them the m ost. Farm leaders do not wish to destroy basic price controls, how­ ever. But as a result of the com ­ bined attacks of business and farm interests, price control faces today one of its recurring crises. Scores of am endm ents to the em ergency price control act have been referred to the senate com m ittee on banking and currency, and debates be­ hind closed doors have been charged with fire and brim stone. Among the am endm ents which stand the best chance of acceptance are those proposed by Sen. Kenneth S. Wherry (R ., N eb.), Republican Whip. These am endm ents include elim ination of the 60-day Umitation on the tim e for filing form al pro­ tests against inequitable prices, au­ thorization for organizations as weU as individual sellers to challenge in the courts price regulations, a re­ quirement that civil enforcem ent proceedings be brought in the dis­ trict where the defendant resides or m aintains a place of business, op­ portunity for the defendant in price violation proceedings to plead that the price at which he sold was no higher than parity price. Farm Group Support Recently a newspaper release sup­ porting the Wherry amendments was issued by the farm group and signed: “The National Grange, by A. S. Goss, national m aster; Ameri­ can Farm Bureau federation, by Edward O'Neal, president; National Council of Farm er Cooperatives, by John H. Davis, executive secretary, and National Cooperative Milk Pro­ ducers’ federation, by Cliarles W. Holman, secretary.” IVhen a combination like that gets behind a measure, some­ thing generally gives way. This time resistance is nnusualiy stubborn. The administration is fighting with all its power every move to weaken price controls —particularly proposals which would permit prolonged legal proceedings, and thus make a law that is very difficult to ad­ minister virtually impossible to administer. But it is on the legal front that the farm leadc jp m ake their princi­ pal attack. Their joint statem ent declares. “The legal subterfuges that OPA has employed to prevent court tests of some of its high-handed actions are destructive of the people’s re­ spect for and confidence in govern­ m ent . . . The chief reason that price ceilings on food have been rea­ sonably effective has been the fact that American farm ers have con­ tinued to produce at the highest lev­ el in history. “ This p ro d u ctio n h a s b een Clhieved in spite of serious handi­ caps imposed by OPA as a result of inequitable ceilings, tardily an­ nounced, indefinite and unjust regu­ lations and widely differing and often contradictory interpretations. In m any instances, price regulations and other actions of the OPA have disregarded the will of congress.

WIN, lose or draw, H am m erin’ Henry Arm strong alw ays has been the fighter for our m oney. Pound for pound, H enry just about tops the list of all-tim e great boxers. Look over the list of ring m en and find one who has done w hat he has. The dark slugger set a record for bowling over his opponents and in so doing m anaged to win three world’s boxing cham pionships, hold­ ing them sim ultaneously. More than once the experts said Henry was through. That has been the cry for years. Henry again up­ set the dope recently when he knocked out Aaron Perry, a sensa­ tional comer, in Washington, D. C. Y et Henry insists he alw ays has been a pacifist who avoids argu­ m ents and heartily dislikes fighting. How is it, then, that a m an who detests fighting can work up so m uch fury when he steps into the ring? Simple Ansiver The answer is sim ple—and quite obvious. Henry needs the m oney. He is fighting for board and room. During his ring career the little Negro probably earned a million dollars or so. He isn’t absolutely HENRY ARMSTRONG broke now, but he isn’t a rich mau by any standards. The disappear­ ance of his hard-earned wealth doesn’t cause Henry too much men­ tal anguish. He remembers cheer­ fully how his likable ex-manager, the late Eddie Meade, managed to mess up their finances following ev­ ery big bout. Henry rem em bers that when the tim e cam e to split the purses, M eade alw ays cam e up with a bril­ liant idea for doubling their money. The schem es alw ays failed. Gene K essler, a Chicago sports writer, tells of som e of M eade’s get- rich-quick ideas: “There w as the m ovie, ’K eep Punching,’ in which Henry w as star actor, co-director and financial angel. All Henry got for his bank­ roll in that venture w as a few souve­ nirs and still-life photos of him self. There w as the flash-front chop suey joint in Los Angeles which packed in custom ers but, strangely, showed no profit. In fact, it kept Henry broke feeding the good citizens of Los Angeles from his fight purses until a sheriff gracefully closed the doors.” Financial Venture But Meade’s greatest financial ventures had to do with the im­ provement of the breed. He was known to have invested an entire fight purse on one discouraged nag which ended up just where every­ one else expected him to. Armstrong retired in 1940 after absorbing quite a beating from Fritzie Zivic. He took a terrible pounding in that fight. His eyes w ere ham m ered into bloody, brutal m esses. And when he retired he had only a sm all bank balance to show for his great earnings. The story goes that when Henry retired, M eade took the last of his earnings and bought a race horse. It w asn’t the best race horse in the world, but one day he won a $5,000 stake at Belmont. It was the first big money M eade had ever collected from the turf and the shock w as too severe. He collected his m oney, re­ turned to Broadway and died. It wasn’t love of fighting that brought HenTy back to the ring. It was necessity, eoupied with the lure of war-fattened bankrolls. And this time he is going to take care of his own finances. The total gate for his match with* Perry grossed $60,000 in Washington. Other good sized gates have given him a comfortable chunk of cash. H e could retire now with enough to last him the rest of his life, but he’s playing it safe and adding something extra to a bankroll that has had the unhappy experience of fading all too rapidly. S P O R T S S H O R T S C. Gene Tunney m odestly does not rate him self in his list of the eight best heavyw eights, but does rank Jack Dem psey, whom he whipped tw ice, as the No. I scrapper. D em psey was followed by Fitzsim ­ mons, Corbett, Jeffries, Louis, Sulli­ van, Johnson and Sharkey, in that order. C In eight of the last nine years, the team that was in last place in the National league standings on the morning of M emorial day, won the pennant.

Frank Kurtz, pilot of a Flying Fortress, tells of that fatal day when the Japs struck In the Philippines* Eight of his men were killed fleeing for shelter, and CNd 99, with many other Fortresses, was demolished before it could take off. Aftet escaping to Australia, what is left of the squadron flies to Java where they go out on many missions over the Philippines. Nine P-40 fighter planes arrive from Australia a few days before a Jap bomb* er force is reported over Java. Three waves of Japs come over, and Zeros get Major Straubel, squadron commander. The Forts spot a Jap carrier in the Java sea and send it away limping. Tlxen more Forts arrive. Q U E E N S D I E P R O U D L Y ITK W-N-U-FtW-M-U-FEATUREt CHAPTER XIV “The Japs by now w ere stirred up. They cam e over—obviously off a car­ rier hidden som ewhere near—and strafed hell out of Timor airdrome. Luckily there w as nothing on the field just then. - “Now w e began to see that it would be only a m atter of tim e un­ til the Japs took that steppingstone field at Timor, which connected us to Australia, and it would all be over—for no m ore fighters could get through to us under their own pow­ er. Jap bom bers had already hit Surabaya. If we got no m ore fight­ ers, how long before they sm ashed our Forts at M alang? Tlie skies w ere darkening fast. “But about this tim e w e did a curious job for the Dutch. I w as in their N avy headquarters on busi­ ness when Komm ander van der Straaten cam e running up. 'You got to help m e!’ he said. ‘Our bravest sub is in trouble—she can’t dive.* Then he explained that she was m ore than three hundred m iles out in the Java Sea, m oving slowly to­ ward hom e base, but that Zeros were circling overhead, and had probably sum m oned Jap bom bers to polish her off. Two Dutch PBY ’s had been guarding her, but those big flying boats are clum sy as ducks, and the Zeros had already shot one down. “W hat they had to have, Van der Straaten explained, w as fighters to cover the submarine. But the little Dutch Curtiss fighters didn’t have the range to get out and back. “I got Bud Sprague on the phone, told him I w as com ing out—urgent. Then I wrote down on a piece of paper w hat Van der Straaten told m e of their subm arine’s course, speed, and hourly position. “Bud laid it out on a chart and figured fast. It w as a long distance. E ven with belly tanks, his fight­ ers could barely get out there and spend fifteen m inutes patrolling the subm arine when they’d have to start back. “But he figured he had enough planes to keep two of them over her all the tim e—in fifteen-minute re­ lays—until they’d escorted her back to a point where the little Dutch Curtiss fighters would have the range to take over. “ Bud led the first pair out him­ self (he’s no swivel-chair officer), and the Dutch, in addition to being tearfully grateful, woke up to the fact that m aybe liaison w as a good idea. Van der Straaten noticed I’d had trouble getting a car getting out to the field—I’d been spending m ost of m y salary on taxis getting everybody’s business done—and the next morning a Dutch staff car with a sergeant at the wheel reported to the door of the hotel. They assigned it to m e for the duration of the war. “But at this point another sub­ m arine showed up with a hard-luck story—she w as one of ours which had sneaked through the Jap block­ ade from Corregidor, with a load of fourteen passengers—m ost of them pilots I knew, who had lost their planes and been left when we had to pull out of the Philippines. “ They cam e roaring into the ho­ tel late. They w ere sick of fiddling around on Bataan with rifles, and now w ere itching to get into the air again. In addition to which, they’d been cooped up for days under wa­ ter in that stinking little tin cigar box. You can im agine how a pilot would take that. Here they were at last, free in a big luxurious ho­ tel, with lights and girls. They nearly pulled it to pieces, and danced with all the girls in the place who would take a chance with them on the floor. But in between they had plenty of news. “I told them they had m e . in liai­ son work just now, and they said, hell, if I had talents like that, the place for m e w as on Corregidor. B ecause the Arm y had the N avy etuffed into one end of a tunnel w hile they w ere stuffed into the oth­ er, and relations w ere so strained that the staffs Would only com m u­ nicate by courier. And now how about a shot of this Daiquiri rum they’d heard so m uch talk about? “I finally got them quieted down and on the bus for M alang. They w ere crazy to get back up in the air after all those weeks. “And then, just as I w as about to go to bed, a call from Margo cam e through.” “Some friends wanted m e to go to Florida with them ,” said Margo. “The girl’s husband had a war job there. I coulcfn’t decide. But Frank said it looked as though he wasn’t going to get any vacation, so I should take a good long one to do for both of us. I m ust go, and it would be our vacation. I could tell he w as very tired, and that worried un­ dertone w as in his voice. I had been glad when he told m e he would probably be on the ground for a ' w hile, so I couldn’t understand it. t Nobody in the States doubted yet ' that Java would hold. I told him j I’d call him as soon as I reached Florida. And then he said a curious , thing. “ ‘Darling,’ he said, ‘I’d better warn you that these calls m ay not last much longer.’ “I didn’t ask why, because I knew it m ust be som ething the censor would not let him tell m e. So be­ cause the tim e w as up, I just said good night. Without ever talking it over, w e’d always m ade it our rule never to say goodby. That w as too frightening. Always it was good night." “I w as worried, M argo,” said Frank, “because I’d just got word' from our N avy’s PBY ’s on patrol that a new Jap invasion fleet was com ing down M acassar Strait, ap­ parently headed for Balikpapan on Borneo. It has a fair harbor and is the last base they would need be­ fore they took over Java. And I couldn’t see how we were going to stop them . “But next day Colonel Eubank gathered his Forts together and they took off at 3:30 in the morning, so that they would be out over M acas­ sar Strait in tim e to m ake their bomb run just at dawn. “They had to com e down below the overcast to see the target, which was two converging lines of Jap ships, heavily escorted—one coming in from the northeast and one from r " / I w as working the top turret gun and could see what was happening on the third Fort. Tarakan. Well, we hit it. And of course w e do som e dam age. But it’s a big force—the N avy doesn’t dare go in. We have only a hand­ ful of Forts, so the Japs keep com­ ing. “But we’re desperate, and so are the Dutch. Their entire bomber force now consisted of eight old B-lO’s (a 1934 model Martin twin- engine bom ber), which were based at Balikpapan. These boys knew if the Japs w ere ever to be stopped, it had to be now, to give our re­ inforcem ents tim e to get in—if we w ere going to get any. So that after­ noon they m ade their last desperate stab—dam aging that Jap fleet of course, but not stopping it. And just as these Dutch bombers were com ing in to land on Balikpapan Field, they were hit by carrier- based Zeros and every plane de­ stroyed. Now the Dutch had noth­ ing, and everything depended on our Forts. “So the next day they put out from M alang to strike at the Japs in M acassar, and if possible sink a carrier. But what happened on that m ission should not be m y story. For I w asn’t there. Two of our Sky Queens died that day in battle and I didn’t see it. It doesn’t happen often. Plenty of them had com e hom e crippled. Others were beached, like Shorty W heless’ plane. M any others have cracked up when fog shrouded the field. But w e’d lost only five by enem y action, and rare­ ly have the .Taps seen one fall. Colin crashed through the overcast near Clark Field, so they didn’t see him —they saw Adams, but not Major Bobinson. Seldom do our own boys ever see the old Queens go down in battle. So you tell it,” said Frank, and here he looked at Sergeant Boone, the gunner. “I saw it,” said the Gunner, “and I can tell you how they die. “It began like this. Nine of us had taken off from M alang to Ma­ cassar Strait to look for carriers. We had only started, we were about sixty m iles off the coast, slowly climbing—had reached 7,000 feet— when w e noticed som e fighters in a tight formation. We assum ed that they w ere P-40’s, but we weren’t tak­ ing any chances, because there seem ed to be quite a gang of them— m aybe som e reinforcem ents had ar­ rived which w e hadn'-t heard of. So we watched as they cam e closer. Only when w e saw the white points of our Army Air Force star with the red disk in the middle were w e relieved. It hadn’t’ occurred to us that you can take the red sun of Japan and with a few strokes of a paintbrush m ake five white star points around it. (Shortly after this incident, the army air force emblem was changed, and the red central disk removed.) “We didn’t dream of this, but still we watched what we were so sure w ere P-40’s. They were flying along with us, about three thousand yards away, apparently paying no atten­ tion. We didn’t suspect they were Japs, mapping out their attack. “There w as nothing about this m a­ neuver which surprised us, for the Japs so far had'alw ays attacked us from the rear. Then they wheeled in for their nose-on attack, and too, late we saw those Arm y Air Force stars on their fuselages had been crudely forged. “They concentrated on our JSrst three planes, and rem em ber now that this first attack, which caught us com pletely off guard and far below our regular altitude, happened in only a few seconds. One For­ tress they hit only in the motor. The next Fortress, they put an incendi­ ary through the bomb-bay gas tank they m ust have known through sub* versive activities in Java that we didn’t have leakproof ones yet in that model. This set off the oxy­ gen system , and the whole Fortress, flared in front of our eyes in & puff of flame and smoke. Out of this w e could see two or three para­ chutes floating down. M aybe the m en dangling from them were alive. More probably they had never pulled the rip cords them selves, but the explosion opened the chutes. “I was working the top turret gun, and from here I could see exactly what was happening on the third Fortress—Captain Duke Duphrane’s ship—which w as just on our left, and very close. I saw it, and so did Sergeant Jim Worley, the bombar­ dier, who w as working the little .30- caliber nose gun, and had brought down three Zeros. We all saw some of it, but Worley and I saw most. “First, w e saw Duphrane’s plane shudder as the Jap tracers crashed into its cockpit and into its bomb bay. But she didn’t go down yet. For a while she continued on with her chin up, like those pictures you see of M arie Antoinette or M ary Queen of Scots walking proudly to­ ward the scaffold. And she didn't waver or flinch, even when w e could see that dull-red flam es from the bursted gasoline tanks of that bomb bay w ere sprouting out of her, from the cockpit clear back to the tail. “We surged just a little ahead of her nose, and from here w e could see Duke Duphrane and his co-pilot both slumped over dead, their heads leaning against the shattered pane of the cockpit window. So it w asn’t any m an who w as keeping her chin up. It w as the Old Queen herself who wanted to die this way. “We dropped back and cam e in a little closer—you had an awful feeling you wanted to help, and you couldn’t — and w e saw Sergeant Keightley, her radioman and right- w aist gunner, clim b through his es­ cape hatch and bail out, and his chute open. And then her left-waist gunner, doing the sam e on the oth­ er side. We saw her tail gunner bail out and his chute open—they found him four or five days later on an island. “She was enveloped in red flam es now from nose to tail, and through her windows w e could see flam es shim m er inside her cabin, and as her plates m elted she began to sink in a steepening curve, and along the wake of that curve we w ere to count seven parachutes, like seven swirling dandelion seeds. “But as yet she hadn’t gone down much, and our own pilot, Captain Strother—a brave, skillful pilot (who w as presently to die—and every man of his crew feels he gave his life to save ours)—w as keeping abreast of her, so that with our guns w e could keep the Japs away in her last m om ents, and give her m en a chance to jump. “The last to leave her w as Ser­ geant Leonard Coleman, her turret gunner—w e could see him working his .SO’s, but now he left his turret. We saw him go by the side window, and he w as struggling to put on his parachute—which he hadn't worn in that cramped top turret, for it would have interfered with his sighting and shooting—struggling to get his arms through it like a jacket among those licking flam es. We saw him go back to the rear escape hatch, saw him drop through it with his clothes afire, saw him jerk the cord—he m ust have done it im m ediately, be­ cause by the tim e he had cleared the flaming tail by twenty feet, we saw his chute crack tight-open. But then, alm ost instantly, w e saw that parachute begin to billow loosely Uke a silk scarf in the wind, be­ cause—Oh, God!—w e saw something else. We saw the poor guy had had to jum p without having tim e to buckle the belt strap of his para­ chute—the price he paid for stay­ ing in his turret for a few last shots at Zeros, protecting the others while they jumped. M aybe he figured he could hold the ends of the belt to­ gether witli his hands. M aybe his hands were so burned he couldn’t work the clasp.

Lots of politicians are liars. One politician declared he wasn’t going to take any part in the recent De­ mocratic primary, but before vot­ ing day he was heading the pto- cession. One writet suggests that either Eleanor Roosevelt or her son, Col. James Roosevelt, be nominated for Vice-President on the Democratic ticket so that when President Roose­ velt decides to resign to bead the peace conference the country will still be in the hands of the Roose. velts. A bright idea. One of our Democratic friends re­ marked a few days ago that he was sorry that higbtoued gentlemen should stoop so low as to get down In the mire dnring a political pri­ mary. He also remarked that if all the charges made against the can­ didates for Governor were true, neither of them were the right kind of man to be at the head of our government. He spoke a parable The Winston-Salem Journal says Gregg Cherry will be the next Governor if he lives until January. Didn’t the Journal think Al Smith would be the next President if he lived until March 4, 1929? There is many a slip ’twixt cup and lip. Maybe the Journal overlooked the fact that Frank Patton was run­ ning for Governor this year Away back in the good old days we remember being present when the principal of a colored school, a Negro with a four-year college course, appeared before a Democra tic registrar and tried to get his name on the registration books. It is needless to say that the Demo­ cratic registrar tefused to reg'ster him. How times have changed under the New Deal. Chief Petty Officer J. C. Jones, of the U.

D isap p oin ted Those thousands of fathers and mothers who tuned in their radio last week to hear President Roose velt speak on the capture of Rome by American soldiers must have ex perienced a sad disappiontment. The President was supposed, or it was expected, to praise the valor and efficiency of t'.:e American sol­ diers who so bravely took the Ita­ lian capital from the brutal invad­ ers of Germany, but ins'ead he talked out his' time : bout the cul­ ture of the Roman Empire; the arts and sciences of the Italian people and the great education and reli­ gious structures of Rome He just about forgot the soldiers who cap tured Rome. It reminded one of the speech made by Winston Churchill back in the winter months. It was de­ livered on a Sunday afternoon, at a moment very tense in ine his­ tory of the world and was expect­ ed to be a masterpiece. It was sounded around the world and mil lions listened in Instead of talk Ing of the war and what he was ex­ pected to say he spoke five minutes about the Allied Armies and con­ duct of the war and 25 minutes a- bout what kind of bouses England would build for it’s people follow ing the war’s end. He even de­ scribed the details of the houses, down to their steps, inside equip ment, etc. It was rediculous and sounded like a doty old man.— Yadkin Ripple.

For its reward is the eager grin of a serviceman ... the tears of happiness that brighten a mother’s eye. But it’s a difficult job... because it comes at a time when every piece of available equipment has been en­ listed in the fight for Victory. This summer, especially, will be a critical time for pas­ senger travel on the Southern. Our services and facil­ ities will be strained to the limit. Our regular trains and our stations are bound to be crowded as never before. That’s why we ask: “Please don't ride on a Southern Railway train this summer unless your trip is absolutely essen­ tial.” By patriotically foregoing an unnecessary trip, yon can help some grateful mother... perhaps the mother of your boy ... to whisper, “My boy is home again.” £ • A W i ih i President S O U T H E R N R A I L W A Y S Y S T E M S i T H E D l Oldest Pa No LiquoJ IlEWS Pfc.

Twelve Elements Control Fertility Vital Soil Chemicals Determine Growth Fertility was described as the "fourth dimension” of the soil by Dr. William A. Albrecht, chairman of the soils department of the Uni­ versity of Missouri, in a recent state­ ment. “The' soil has taken on a new meaning in the light of present war conditions,” he pointed out. “Ra­ tion points on food and the scarcity of items like meat, milk and butter are giving soil a significance be­ yond that of mere dirt. “Soil has long had two dimensions —length and breadth. As land, it has commonly been measured in terms of acres. The Soil Conserva­ tion service first emphasized that our lands have a third dimension— depth. Erosion studies as early as 1914 by Dean Miller and Dr. Duley at Columbia made us see the soil profile with its rich surface being scraped away and washed to the sea. “To these three dimensions, how­ ever, should be added a fourth—fer­ tility—for food production essential­ ly depends on this factor. “Crops are a form of creation. Like the Biblical story of creation itself, crops must also begin with the soil. About a dozen different chemical elements are required of the soil by any crop. These make up the ash, amounting to approxi­ mately 5 per cent by weight of the dry matter. Yet, it is this small amount contributed by the soil that determines whether the plant can gather from the air and water, by means of sunshine power, the other 95 per cent of its total content. The Controlling Elements. "These 12 chemical elements mak­ ing up by 5 per cent by weight are thus able to control the other ele­ ments which make up 95 per cent of the total weight of the plant. Conse­ quently it becomes evident that the soil rather than the weather wields the controlling hand in crop produc­ tion.” In discussing further this “fourth dimension” of the soil, Dr. Albrecht ppinted out that in a series of tests for producing soybeans as a seed crop, plots without fertilizer treat­ ment on Gne farm yielded 20 bushels of seed, whereas adjoining plots sup­ plied with extra soil fertility plowed down as fertilizers, yielded 25 bush­ els, or an increase of 25 per cent. “When it is considered that both plots had the same weather,” he concluded, “there should be little doubt that the crop depends on the soil fertility more than on the sea­ son. We thus need to see our re­ sponsibility to the soil more, and to blame the weather less.” More Machinery Being Made FARM EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE IN 1944 Sulfaguanidine Saves Chickens and Calves A new addition to th e su lfa d ru g s, a ll of w hich a re d e riv e d fro m co al, w ill soon b e u sed to in c re a se th e n atio n ’s supply of p o u ltry a n d d airy p ro d u cts b y co m b attin g c e c a l cocci- d iesis, d ea d ly d ise a se of ch ickens a n d d a iry ca lv es, w hich co sts fa rm ­ e rs m illions of d o llars ev e ry y e a r, acco rd in g to th e B itum inous C oal in­ stitu te .

There’s one rule about canning that you’d best remember when you put up those jars of fruits and vegetables: “Two hours from garden to kettle.” That means using only foods at the peak of condition, for you get out of your can only what you put into it. If vegetables turn brown in their jars and look unattractive as com­ pared with the fresh produce, it’s probably because of overprocessing (overcooking) or lack of fresh vege­ tables when you started canning. When you overcook those bright red berries, they can’t possibly be fresh looking or taste like a reason­ able facsimile of the original prod­ uct. Follow directions and cook just long enough, and the result will be well worth the effort. Save VsedF ats! Now’s a good time to put up con­ serve like grandmother used to make. This contains a mixture of fruits popular now: Strawberry-Rhubarb Conserve. (Makes about 10 glasses) I quart prepared strawberries I quart prepared rhubarb 6 cups sugar Wash and hull strawberries. Wash rhubarb and cut into 14-inch pieces. Mix strawberries, rhubarb and sug­ ar. Cook mixture slowly uhtil it is thick and clear. Pour into hot, ster­ ile glasses. Three-Fruit Preserves. S pints raspberries 2 pints strawberries I to I Vs pounds cherries Equal amount of sugar by weight, of all fruits Combine all ingredients and boil 25 minutes., Add Vz cup lemon juice and boil 2 min­ utes longer. Re­ move from fire and allow to cool. When cool, pour into sterilized jars and seal. Al­ though the pre­ serves look thin when you finish cooking,' they will thicken upon standing. Lynn Says Popular Observations: You like certain fOo'ds', but you’ll like them better if you don’t let them fall into a rut. Instead of serving these favorites the same way all the time, try these variations: When the milk sours, use it in muffins. It spells extra lightness. Rice pudding is good with cream, but better still with chilled fruits in season—cherries,' straw­ berries, raspberries and peaches. Spread lamb or ham patties with mustard before frying or broiling—y.ou’ll get good‘results. • Orange juice and grated orange rind Si place of milk in1- baking powder biscuits is something to ch,eer about. Good accompaniment with fish: Tiiiy beet cubes mixed with Sour cream. Tomatoes stuffed with cucum­ bers, cottage cheese and sour cream is something new by way of a tomato surprise.

D.Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago* Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for June 25 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. THE POWER IN SIMPLE LIVING LESSON TEXT—Daniel 1:8.16, 19. 20. GOLDEN TEXT—But Daniel'purposed In -.Vheart Ihat he would not defile himself with the king’s dainties, nor with the wine which he drank.—Daniel 1:8. “Dare to be a Daniel, Dare to stand alone Dare to have a purpose firm, Dare to make it known.” Remember how we used to sing It in our Sunday Schools? Possibly some of us still do. The thought of the song assuredly needs to be em­ phasized anew. The “times are out of joint.” Mil­ lions of men and women are meeting new prcbiems and temptations. The standards of life they learned in home and church or Sunday school are not too easy to maintain. Many are hearing that old excuse for laxity. “Man, you’re in the army now,” or “Don’t forget you’re hot at home with Mother; you’re in the navy.” Civilians have similar tempting excuses for careless liv­ ing, drinking, etc. Our lesson is a timely one. It presents Daniel as having— I. A Courageous Purpose (v. 8). Daniel and his three Hebrew com­ panions were among those carried captive to Babylon... As promising young men, they were selected to receive an education' in the wisdom of the land, at the king’s expense and in preparation for his service. The king provided for them the delicacies of his household, thinking thus to keep them strong and in good health. Daniel recognized that many of these things were unclean according to the laws of his people. He also knew that to eat such food and to drink, the. intoxicants provid­ ed for them would be to injure his health and cut down his ability to learn. • It was no easy thing to ask to be excused from what the king had commanded, not to do what every­ body else was doing; but Daniel had a courageous purpose “in his heart.” But Daniel had the wisdom to be tactful about his * convictions. He went to the king’s steward with— II. A Considered Plan (vv. 9-13). He had something thoughtfully worked out, a fair proposal which would not endanger the life or stand­ ing of the prince who was over them. He proposed a test, and agreed,, if it failed, to be subject to further orders. He knew it would not fail. Hotv often those who have it in their heart to stand true to God against evils, such as beverage al­ cohol^ have no ,,plan in mind, and are only loud and tactless in their condemnation. They make no con­ tribution to the cause. Let us be intelligent and properly prepared. Daniel’s plan put a planned diet and water oyer against rich foods and,wine. It was a case of simple living against “high” living, and the result was' a foregone conclusion. Those high in positions of authority in the field of diet tell us again and again that we need simple, well- balanced meals. And science is def­ inite and clear in its condemnation of alcoholic beverages. Daniel’s test period resulted in— ZZBJhrA Convincing Proof (w . 14-16). Ten days proved the point. Daniel and his friends were fairer and fat- ter;,than the others. They were vin­ dicated in their courageous stand for what they believed to be right. Sim­ ple living demonstrated its value. Think what a fine testimony the experience of Daniel must hstve been in that great group of young princes who were at the king’s table. So we also may give good witness for our Lord by our loyalty to right standards. Often it is true that those who outwardly scoff at them are secretly moved to respect those who consistently stand for what they believe. We need to cultivate in our young people the high courage which will enable them to stand against the constant temptation to partake of alcoholic beverages and to face with intelligent courage the clever propa­ ganda of the liquor sellers. Note that Daniel and his friends did not lose by their decision—tjiey gained. They reached— IV. A Conunehdable Position (w . 19, 20). At foe end of the training period the king gave these young men ex­ aminations. Note that in technical knowledge, “I.Q.” and in perscmal characteristics, Daniel and his com­ rades were superior to all foe rest. Tfoat is in accord with foe findings of modern science in foe matter of foe use of liquor. Is it not almost unbelievable then that foe advertising of foe liquor in­ terests, suggesting that liquor is a desirable thing from a personal, so­ cial, and business viewpoint, is per­ mitted? The facts are all on the oth­ er side. Strange too is the tolerant attitude of our nation and especially of many in the church toward that which is known to be destructive and detri­ mental. It is an appalling commen­ tary on the extent to which our standards have been lowered or for­ gotten.

D on’t G ive U p Rev. Walter E. Isenhour. Hiddenite. N. C. Don’t give up if you are right. Stick to it. Of course you may be in the minority, and usually those who are for tbe right are far out­ numbered by their opponents; but bold on and bold out. Right and truth will win, while error and wrong will meet defeat. Because the multitudes oppose you, speak strongly against you and tbe right for which you stand, don’t give up God is for you and the best people are for you. It is true you may suffer for the stand you take, but has that not been the case down thru tbe centuries? The old patriarchs and prophets, apostles and disciples suffered for the rlght,\many of them even giv. Ing their lives; but they don’t give up. Today their lives are living after tyem to bless tbe world. But where are their opponents? Gone and forgotten centuries ago. You may have much opposition in your home because you stand for the right and against wrong. Don’t give up. Jesus said that our foes shall be they of our own house hold. However, bs patient, pray erful, humble and godly. Learn to return a soft answer for harsh words. Do good for evil. By word and by example let your household know that you have been with Jes­ us; that you have something far better in your heart and soul than they have; that you abso'utaly will not stoop down to sin and wicked­ ness, nor bow the knee to the dev. il. Amen. If God be for us, who can be a- gainst us to the extent that they can defeat us? O, I know we may be criticised, falsely accused, hated and scorned at, but that never means defeat as long as we refuse to quit and give up in despair. No good cause is lost as long as gre are true to God. He may let thou­ sands wear their ungodly, wicked lives out fighting and opposing us, and tbe right and truth for which we stand, but we are to continu­ ally look up, bold to God, keep faith, pray much and never give up. Ne doubt you have been sorely tempted many times to give up in your struggle for tne right, but un. til God gives up you have no jus­ tifiable cause to do so. You are never defeated until you give up; and ypu will not be defeated if you hold on and hold out. Remember you have a mighty God on your side, and He can put the devil and all demon forces to flight if you wi!l let Him use you as He wants to In the place you fill, or give you victory over everything. Amen. Perhaps it’s just a coincidence but in voting to change its Iaber and go out of existence as a separate politi­ cal party the Communists followed the example set by President Roose­ velt when he announced that the New Deal no longer existed and re­ quested tLat the label be dropped.

Because Governor Dewey very probably will be the Republican candidate for President this year, it is cause for gratification not only In this country but among the gov­ ernments and peoples of all the United Nations that he is convinc. ed that the American people are "united upon the proposition that onr foreign aflairs must be so con­ ducted that disasters like tbe pres ent one will not recur.” It is heartening that the only man except Mr. Roosevelt, so tar as appears at present, who has a chance to be President the next four years, recognizes the fact that in order to prevent recurrence of “disasters like the present,” "we shall have to pay more attention than heretofore to what goes on in the rest of the world” and “NOT AGAIN SIT ON THE SIDE LINDS AS MERE OBSERVERS and COMMENTATORS WHILE FUTURE KAISERS AND FUEH­ RERS and WAR LORDS GROW STRONG and PERFECT THEIR PLANS FOR AGGRESSION.” Mr. Dewey has correctly apprais­ ed sentiment—that is, the senti­ ment of tbe vast majority although it is not universal by any means— in asserting in his address at the Governor’s Conference, that “the American people are united in their determination to be competently concerned about wbat concerns us and with POSITIVE DETER MI NATION TO JOIN IN PREVEN­ TING FUTURE WARS.” Of course, in order to carry ■ out that determination, the leaders of this Nation—the President, the State department, tbe Congress, es- peciall j the Senate—must not only recognize the public will but devise practical means to execute it, and that calls for unity and co-opera­ tion with our allies, especially Great Britain, Soviet Russia and China, in a program of peace-making and peace-tnaintairance alter complete Iy desttoying the military power of Germany and Janan. T rue or F alse? On November 2, 1940, President Roosevelt, then a candidate for a third term, made this statement: ‘‘There is a great storm raging now; it makes things harder for the world And that storm, which did not start in this land of ours, in tbe true reason that I would like to stick bv these people of ours until we reach the clear, sure footing a head. We will make it—make it before the next term is over. . . . When that term is over there will be another President, and many more Presidents in the years to come that word ‘President’ will be a word to cheer the hearts of com­ mon men and women everywhere.’’ On November 4, 1940, tbe Pre­ sident, having gone to Hyde Park to vote’ is credited by newspaper reporters who were covering his trips in the final days if the cam­ paign with making this no fourth term pledge in addressing his Dut­ chess County neighbors: “You will have a new President in 1944, It is tbe last time, very obviously, that I will do this as a candidate f jr of­ fice—but you can be quite sure that in all tbe vears to come my heart will be in Dutchess County where it always has been. The slogan don’t change horses in tbe middle of the stream” gives rise to the question ''why are we still in the middle of the stream after twelve years of enlightened New Deal gov­ ernment. ”—Union Republican. YOUR WAR ROND F arm ers P re fer F air P rices Secretary of Agricultural Wick ard, appearing before a Senate com­ mittee, asserted that farmers favor subsidies and want the subsidy pro. gram continued. Is it possible that the one man in our government who should have the pulse of the farmer has contact? It would ap­ pear that he made no attempt to learn tbe attitude of farmers them­ selves, Or did someone in higher position tell him wbat to say? Here is what recognized farm leaders have to sav on the subject: Albert S. Goss Master of the National Grange: The Grange is opposed to subsidies. They are re­ garded as inflationary because they increase income and will ultimately lead to chaos If we cannot and will not P1Iy the cost of producing food during these days of tbe great est income in all history, what are the chances of getting people to pay tbe cost of production atter the war? Earl C. Smith, Vice President of the American Farm Bureau Fede ration: The American Farm Bu reau Federation is. opposed to con. sumer subsidies and roll backs. Payment of subsidies from the Fed­ eral treasury increases the national debt, which necessitates additional borrowings, and thus increases the possibility of credit and monetary inflation Clyde Edmonds, President of tbe National Council of Farm Cooper­ atives: We oppose subsidies on fatni products in lieu of fair prices Such subsidies are inflationary be cause they increase the demand for food products without stimulating corresponding increases in essen­ tial production. Charles Holman, Secretary of ths National Cooperative Milkpro ducers’Federation: Wethinksub sides, by whatever name called, consumer subsidies, processors’ sub. sidies, should be completely and totally abolished as a part ot tbe national policy ip winning of the war. Our people (milk producers) are, perhaps, the most heavily sub­ sidized of any group of about 25 per cent of income. In terms of butter alone we are promised a sub sidy which runs about 25 cent of income. In terms of all milk pro­ duction, which includes butter, tbe income of dairy farmers now is a- bout 20 per cent in terms of the subsidy. In dollars this amounts t0 $550,000,000 this year if the pre sent rate of subsidy is continued. The apparent effort of Mr. Wick ard to mislead the legislative branch of our Government certainly raises the question of his fatness, along with other. NewDealersfromMr Roosevelt on down, to continue to sit on thrones in Washington. D o Y ou K n ow — That 26 states have Republican Governors in 1944, compared with 8 states in 1936 and 20 In 1940? That In the 1940 Presidential election tbe Republicans lost 10 close states (with 185 electoral votes) by tbe narrow margin of . 1 per cent of the total votes cast in those states? That if less than half a million voters in those ten states bad voted the other way that the result would have been a Republican Victory. That in 1940 in 38 northern stat es which represent a majority of 150 in the Electoral College the Republican Party lost the Presid­ ency by only 2 7 per cent of the total vote cast?. That a change of less than three voters out of every hundred in tbose 38 states would have elected tbe Republican candidate? t Our boys must keep on fight­ing—we must keep on bay­ ing WAR BONDS until vic­ tory is won. Keep on BACK­ING TBE ATTACK. P ertin en t Q u estion s To insure fair and clean elections the Congress of the United States enacted the Corrupt Practices Act, amended in July. 1943, bv the Smith-Connally Act, which pro­ vides that "it shall be unlawful for any corporation or any labor orga nization to make a contribution In connection with the election of a President, Vice President or Mem ber of Congress,” and tbe Hatch Act, which limits political contri­ butions from ‘‘any person, com mittee, association, corporation or any other organization” to $5,000. Citing these legal provisions, Harrison Spangler, Chairman of the Republican National Commit, tee, has charged Attorney General Francis Biddle with permitting a flagrant violation of Federal elec­ tion laws in holding that the CIO Political Action Committee from prosecution despite these facts: Officials of the CIO have public Iy stated that contributions from prosecution despite these facts: Officials of tbe CIO have public­ ly stated that contributions from affiliated labor organizations to its political Action Committee have been received which, to date, total approximately $700,000 and that these funds are being used to pro­ mote a fourth term for President Roosevelt and to defeat, certain members of Congress. Tbe FBI has reported that the CIO Political Action Committee has received contributions of $100,000 trom several CIO labor organiza­ tions, or twenty times the amount permitted by law. Insisting that provising of the Corrupt Practices Act, tbe Hatch Act and the Smitb-Connaliy Act should be enforced by the Depart­ ment of Justice, Chairman Spang- Ier directs some pertinent questions to Attorney General Biddle: How can you justify permitting these clear violations of Congres sional statutes which you have taken an oath to enforce? Will other groups, such as farm cooperatives and small business cor porations who are opposed to Pre­ sident Roosevelt’s fourth term am­ bition and to perpetuation of tbe New Deal and who desire the elec­ tion of a Republican President and Congress, haye the same privilege under tbe law to form committees on the pattern oi the CIO and to spend funds similarly obtained? R ep u b lican s W ill W in In *44! Victory nationally is in tbe offing for the Republican Party, This is so because the trend is that way. Prac­ tically every election throughout the country since the general election of 1942, even in the hamlets and vil­ lages, have been Republican,. . . The Republican Party will win nationally end throughout the state next Nov­ ember because, as Democrat Jim Farley says: "The people are tired of being kicked around ” They are fed up on regulations, edicts, mani­ festos, d'reetives and what not foist­ ed upon them illegally and unlawful­ ly with no mandate of Congress be­ hind them. They are sick and tired of being governed by executive de­ crees instead of laws of Congress as provided in the Constitution of the United States. The New Deal will suffer ignominious defeat for tbe reason that it is un-Amrrican. It is unconstitutional.... It is contrary to every sound principal of econo­ mics and sociology, It is against the system of free enterprise, heal­ thy competition and individual ini­ tiative. It is opposed to local govern­ ment. It favors regimenting the people from Washington instead of allowing them to continue to govern themselves in their sovereign capa­ city as a free people.—John C.

From tbe traditionally Democra­ tic Solid South have come signs that Dixie is in revolt against tbe New Deal and the nomination of President Roosevelt for a fourth term. In Texas the Democratic state convention refused to indorse Roose­ velt and named a slate of delegates to the party7! national convention, also Presidential electors, who are opposeed to a fourth term. In South Carolina the Democrats in state convention adopted a reso lution carrying a threat of a party bolt by postponing selections of Presidential electors until after the Chicago convention has nomi­ nated tbe party’s candidates. Further evidences of the spread of tbe revolt in Dixie were predict­ ed when Democratic state conven­ tions are held in Mississippi and Virginia. The South Carolina Democrats adapted a platform which connem- ned the concentration of powers in the executive branch of tbe govern­ ment at tbe expense of the legisla­ tive and judicial branches; deplored the tendency of some of the leaders of tbe national Democratic Party to unduly favor regimentation, collec­ tivism, bureaucratic control, and and other measures and means char­ acteristic of totalitarian rule; called for a reassertion of States’ Rights, and asserted tbat our system of government of government is great­ er tLan auy personlity and urged a Constitutional amendinent limiting the tenure of the Presidency to two terras of four years each.

THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE, N. C- Let's Face Facts Congress Must Provide Method of Bargaining Over National Income By BARROW LYONS — ■ WNU Staff Correspondent Barrrow Lyons WASHINGTON, D. C. During the war a revolutionary idea has possessed the Am erican people. It is that H w e can have an econom y of abun­ dance, if we have intellig e n c e enough to organ­ ize our economy so that it will produce a nation­ al in co m e of about 150 billion dollars a year. This idea has appeared in the programs of all of the important farm er organiza­ tions and in the resolutions of m ost labor conventions. Organizations of manufacturers have accepted re- iponsibility for operating industry it a level to produce som ething like lhis income. How revolutionary the idea m ay turn out to be can be gathered from Jne glance at the figures for nation- >1 incom e over a period of years. Before the present war the highest national income occurred in 1929, when the figure climbed to 86 Jillion dollars. But in 1941 national income mounted to 97 billion; and in 1942, mder the stinging lash of Japanese aggression, we threw ourselves into production effort which lifted in­ tome to 122 billion. Last year we achieved 148 billion—53 per cent greater than in 1929 and more than louble the volum e in World War I. The fact that we can produce foods and services in quantities lever before dreamed has been 5xed in our minds so that it aever can be forgotten. With the iatural resources at hand to produce In abundance, and the will to work, why can we not produce always all lhat w e need to enjoy life to the fullest? That is a question everyone is asking. In fact, there is general belief that perhaps we can do so. This soon will ippear in the platforms of both major political parties. In all prob- ibility, Republicans and D em ocrats will promise an economy of abun- lance, if their candidates are Elected. But there are m any sober m en who point to the tremendous bor­ rowing that has supported our war ictivity, and who declare that we lannot continue to operate on so iigh a level unless we continue to lorrow just as heavily as we are low borrowing, or continue to tax as heavily, or do both. One can predict without hesi­ tation that if borrowing or taxing iontinues at present rates after the war, that there will be an outcry such as we seldom have heard. One can as surely predict that if we do not continue to borrow and lax on a huge scale, production and national income will decline. And unless there are mighty powerful lhecks on price increases, influences now at work will bring about infla­ tion that will devastate the purchas­ ing power of everyone. We had a hint of what labor’s re­ action is likely to be, when the navy department threatened to cut back production in the Brewster airplane plants. It is clear that if millions of men are without jobs and lose their purchasing power, that the demand for farm products will fall away. In 1932 net income to persons on farms from farming operations dropped to 2.3 billion dollars, and farm income was only 5 per cent of national in­ come. Last year net farm in­ come was almost seven times as great as in 1932—more than 14 billion dollars—and almost 10 per cent of a national income three times as great as in 1932. Nothing could be clearer than that farm income and the in­ come of industrial workers are inseparably bound together. Also, that unless there is a strong demand for farm prod­ ucts, their prices, left to the mercy of the sensitive open market, will slump. To meet this threat, farmers demand that prices of farm products be maintained at parity, thus protecting the pur­ chasing power of the farm dol­ lar — although not insuring farm income, which depends on the volume of goods soid as well as on price. Parity has becom e the primary goal of farm leaders—an idea for which they will fight to the last ditch. It is an idea worth fighting for, but it requires extension to in­ clude the w ages of labor arid the profits of industry, if it is to effec­ tively protect national purchasing power. * * * If the parity idea is thus extended, the question will be raised: What constitutes fair shares of national in­ come for the farm er, for labor and for capital? To decide upon a division of national incom e implies organized bargaining between these groups. This cannot be done in­ formally, because there would be no machinery to put informal decisions into operation, and no umpire. Yet, if we are to have a smoothly operating economy these groups cannot w age destructive economic A irfare am ong them selves Yanks on Way to Invasion by Air and Sea g # § By air and sea the army and navy of the Allied countries join in invasion of French coast. The V. S. paratroopers reflect confidence as they fly over the English channel en route to the invasion of Europe. They were among the first assault troops to land on the continent. More than 4,000 vessels were employed in the initial landings. The landing craft, one of newest types, is shown loaded with American troops about to sail for somewhere in France during the first days of invasion.

D A U L Derringer, veteran pitcher * of the Chicago Cubs, is “Mr. Big,” generally speaking, when it com es to w earing baseball equip­ ment, but Mike N aym ick of Cleve­ land and Johnny Gee of the Pirates put in “large orders” when prepar­ ing to dress for baseball activity. Derringer, for exam ple, w ears a size 50 shirt and orders a 7% cap, Which requirem ents m ake him just about the biggest all-around m an on the diamond. Bobo Newsom, who has settled down with Connie M ack, also wears a size 50 shirt, while Thorn­ ton Lee of the White Sox dons a 7% cap, but Paul’s head is bigger than Bobo’s, and his chest m eas­ urement tops Lee’s. Naymick takes big honors in the shoe department, his dogs demand­ ing a set of 1516 brogans, while Johnny Gee, who towers 6 feet 9 inches above the pitcher’s mound, wears the longest uniform In the majors. Although his chest measure­ ment is only 46, Johnny’s shirttail is 12 inches longer than standard and his pants are 9 inches longer than the average player’s require­ ments. These facts, and others of a sim i­ lar nature, are revealed by Jim m y Carrig, the “ Goldsmith” m an, who has been m easuring m ajor leaguers for the last 20 years and who can just about tell you how m any tim es a given player can sneeze before the button pops off his collar. -s-fc Fanl D errinjet Record for Skimmers If you’re interested in m ore m eas­ urem ents, Carrig can tell you that the late Jack Hendricks, once m an­ ager of the Cincinnati Reds, wore a size 8 skim m er, the largest cap ever worn by a m ajor leaguer. The sm all cap departm ent is headed by Lou Boudreau, Indians m anager; Mud­ dy Ruel, White Sox coach; and Ival Goodman, Cubs gardener, all of whom w ear a 6 3A bonnet. Myril Hoag, now with the White Sox, has am azingly sm all feet, wearing a size 4% shoe of “D ” width. Dom Dellasandro of the Cubs also pulls on a 41A shoe, but he requires a triple “E ” width for his alm ost round feet. Skeeter Webb and Mud­ dy Ruel of the White Sox w ear the sm allest uniforms, size 40 shirts and size 34 pants. Carrig recalls that Pitcher W alter Brown, best rem em ­ bered as a Yankee, wore a size 54 shirt, w hile Gob Buckeye, one-time Cleveland hurler, hitched up a pair of size 46 pants. The beat dressed player of all tune, in Carrig’s opinion, w as Hazen “Kiki” Cuy- ■ ler, form er Pitts­ burgh and Chicago Cub outfielder, who now m anages At­ lanta in the South­ ern a s so c ia tio n . ~ a During his playing 0 days, Cuyler, whose N u A cap had to be just "iJi at the right angle, xj invented the pants roll which m ade for Kiki Cuj Icr an ultra stream ­lin e d appearance and which of lsrte has given way to the less trim plus-4 effect now sported by moat players. Pet Superstitions Carrig reports, too, that there are many player superstitions concern­ ing uniforms. Billy Jurges of the Giants will wear any number but seven. Claude Passeau of the Cubs insists on number 13. M any players, if they have a good day after inadvertently putting their sw eat shirts on inside out, will wear the shirt inside out until a slump convinces them otherwise. The sam e applies, in many cases, when a player unconsciously puts on a sock inside out or rolls his pants in another m anner. Carrig re­ called that Lefty O’Doul would fight a roommate if the latter happened to appropriate a necktie Lefty wore to the park on a day when he got three hits. “Mr. B ig” among the bat swing­ ers w as Chief Mey.ers, once catcher for the Giants, who swung a 54- ounce club. Babe Ruth cam e up to the leagues wielding a 50-ounce stick, but worked down to a 38 be­ fore he retired. The Babe, however, swung a bat weighing around 43 ounces when he w as setting slugging m arks, but in his later years he chose a lighter club to m eet the improvement in change - of - pace pitching. Iodine Treatment Bat superstitions are also rife in the majors. Babe Herman, former Brooklyn slugger, used to have one bat to hit to right field, another for blows down the middle and a third for hits to left. The Babe also treated his bats with iodlht, which gave him the most sanitary clubs in the leagues.

Frank Kurtz, pilot of a Flying Fortress, tells of that fatal day when the Japs struck in the Philippines. Eight of his m en were killed fleeing for shelter, and Old 99, with m any other Fortresses, w as dem olished on the ground. After escap­ ing to Australia, what is left of the squadron flies to Java, where they go on m any m issions over the Philippines and M acassar Strait. Sergt. Boone, gunner, tells how Queens die. Nine Forts are out looking for Jap carriers when they m eet a flight of “ P-40’s” who fly with them. Too late they discover the forged stars. The «*p-40’s”—Jap planes—open up at close range on the Forts and three Queens go down in flam es. CHAPTER XV "When that chute cracked open, the jerk pitched him out of the har­ ness head-first, and as the chute bil­ lowed loosely back of the plane’s tail, we saw him dropping down with his clothes smoking, getting littler and Iittler. Oh, Heaven! I couldn’t look any more. “The plane was settling faster, in that steepening curve now, be­ cause it was all over. So we who have seen a Fortress die in battle can tell you how they do it. They die like the men who fly them and fight in them would want them to die! They die like the great Sky Queens they are. And Queens die proudly. “Just then I heard our pilot Cap­ tain Strother over the interphones, telling Jim Worley, our bombardier, that he’d opened the bomb-bay doors, and for the bombardier to go back and salvo all the bombs and the gas tanks carried there. “Well, Jim Worley is about to obey, but just then he sees a Zero coming right in on us, head-on— and his gun there in the nose is the only one who can handle this attack, so he’s got to stay on it. “He gives her one burst and then starts to salvo his bombs and gas tanks, but there’s a crashing sound, and the controls don’t work. He doesn’t realise a bullet has wrecked his controls—doesn’t know what has happened. “Then all of a sudden—Bang!— there’s a hell of an explosion inside our plane, and dust, and the stink of gasoline. After seeing what had just happened to the other two planes, we thought it could mean only one thing. We must be on fire! And later on, ask me about that railroad spike. “But somehow there were no flames, so we kept on pounding away at the Zeros swarming around us—it was the only thing to do. What had happened was that a bullet had smashed into our compressed-oxy- gen tank, and also cut a gasoline feed line, so that gas was spurting all over the cabin, but we didn’t know it then. Finally the tail gun­ner, seeing gas streaming along the plane’s belly past him to trickle off the tip of the tail, guessed what had happened, and called out to the rest of us over the interphones for God’s sake not to smoke. With that cabin filled with pure oxygen and gasoline fumes, it would have been a bad idea. Don’t forget to ask me about the railroad spike. "When we got back to our field and were telling about it, someone asked our tail gunner if he wasn’t scared when, right after watching those other two go down in flames, that bullet burst our oxygen system with a big bang. ‘No,’ he said, ‘there wasn't time to nbe scared. But if someone had pushed a rail­ road spike into my mouth, I would have bit the head of it off, clean and sharp.’ “The Flying Fortress was de­ signed for the high skies, and if you keep her in her groove, for her crew she’s the safest plane in the air and for her enemies the most deadly. We found this out not from any book, but we learned it that day in combat, which is learning it the hard way. And we hoped it wouldn’t take too long for this les­ son to percolate upstairs.” “On the way home,” said Frank Kurtz, “three of the remaining Forts hit a heavy afternoon rainstorm. Visibility and ceiling were zero, and for hours they AeW around the is­ land of Madura, off the coast of Java, looking for a place'to land. When gas was almost gone they de­ cided to beach them. Luckily no one was killed, but two of the three were completely washed out on-the seashore rocks—they set fire to the wreckage Sb the Japs couldn’t find out anything about the planes. But Lieutenant Fred Crimmons did a magnificent job of setting his plane down on the beach in the rain. He made two passes, looking at his gas in between, then squared away and brought her in—she held firm, sinking only a little. I had the har-. bormaster’s . wrecking barge, with tools and Dutch engineers, on its way before daybreak. They were having a little trouble with the na­ tives there — they were warned against Jflp parachutists, and our boys had to yell at them a password > the Dutch had taught them to use if ' we were shot down: ‘Kancha Kom- panee!’ It means ‘Our Army,’ they explained to us. “They worked a full day—shoring up the plane, building a base of logs and sand under it,, clearing a runway strip,. And then, in Java's regular afternoon rainstorm, in CS me old Freddy onto Surabaya Field. He explained he’d stripped the plane of everything he could un­ screw to lighten it and then, turn­ ing the motors on full blast, had made a jump take-off from that lit­ tle strip. He grabbed a sandwich and went on in to Malang. “The air-raid alarm in Surabaya was now going off regularly, some­ times three times a day, because the Java Sea was .stiffer than an old sock with Jap carriers. Colonel Eu­ bank was now faced with a real problem. The three main bases for our Forts were at Malang, Madiun and another town which was spelled Jokyakarta, but the American boys couldn’t chew this one, so they all gave it up and everybody just called it Jockstrap. “The Dutch had no system to de­ tect planes coming in from over the sea. Their only warning system was a tiny island about seventy-five miles out. It had a radio, so Sura­ baya got fifteen minutes’ notice and Malang about thirty. “So what was the Colonel to do? Our P-40’s were badly overworked, so when the alarm sounded, if the Forts took to the air the Zeros might shoot them down, while if they stayed on the ground, the Jap bomb­ ers might blow them up. Never were we able to keep more than twelve planes in the air, even including re­ inforcements, for we were losing them about as fast as they were coming in, and a number were al­ ways under repair and therefore un- flyable. “Also we had some bad breaks in luck. One afternoon Lieutenant Ray Cox had his plane up on a high-alti- We saw him dropping down with his clothes smoking, getting littler and littler. tude test—giving the superchargers a workover. With him in the cock­ pit was Johnny Hughes, who had been checked off as a first pilot just after we arrived in Java. They finished the test, and at two o’clock were spiraling down when Zeros came over to strafe the field below. These strafing Zeros also had a top cover of Zeros hanging up at 18,000 feet, in case our P-40’s might come in to break up their ground party. “Well, when the strafing began, our boys in the control tower re­ membered that Ray was up, and they tried to tell him by radio to fly south over the sea for an hour, until the Zeros were gone—that was our usual procedure. “But Ray and Johnny, alone in this plane, probably intent on their test, must have had their head­ phones off. Anyway they couldn’t be reached, although the boys on the ground tried frantically to let them know what they were coming down into. Finally they saw three Zeros hit them at 15,000 feet. Ray imme­ diately turned out to sea, while John­ ny probably did what he could on the guns. But one gunner can’t cover every side at once, and they didn’t stand a chance against three Zeros. Next day the plane was found shot down and burned about twenty miles from Malang Field.” “Shortly after that,” said Boone, the gunner, “we had a tough little mission—a night flight to bomb a Jap task force which was attacking one of the islands down toward Aus­ tralia I forget which one it was if I ever knew—that was the naviga­ tor’s business. Six of us took off from Malang, but before we started for the target, we had to fly over to Jockstrap and load up with Dutch bombs—they, ,were junning low at Maiang, and the Dutch at Jockstrap had plenty. Then we took off at eight o’clock at night in some of the dirtiest weather I ever hope to fly. In that country a storm at night is so black it’s like going into the closet under the stairs where all the old overshoes are, and pull­ ing the door shut. For our rendez­ vous we turned on the wing lights. But even with them it took us forty- five minutes to assemble. Then we went up to 18,000 trying to climb out, but we were still in that storm. It was darker than the inside of a black cow, but every now and then the lightning would rip everything wide open—the whole cloud around us would flame up, and you could see to read fine print in the cabin. We were like a bug in a neon tube. Then blackness would close in, and it would be a long time before your eyes could make out the little blue- pink exhaust flame of the plane next to you. “After about an hour we had plowed through the storm, and were flying above scattered moon-flecked overcast down below us at about 4,000. “At 10:30 we were over the target, and we glided down to 3,000 feet to see what was going on. Through the hunks of clouds we could see the gun flashes of Jap'warships lob­ bing shells into that poor old town. Then we would see the flash when the shells exploded. They had fires already going in several places, and of course the town had absolutely nothing to hit back with. “But clouds protected the Jap fleet, so we couldn’t make a run on just where we guessed those gun flashes were the thickest. Bombs were scarce. Orders had been if we didn’t find a good target, to bring them home, so we did. We had no flares aboard to light up that har­ bor, or any installation for dropping them. The old Forts were never cut out for nightwork, but of course in a war you sometimes get into cracks where you use whatever you’ve got to do what must be done. “We hated it, leaving that poor old town burning while the Japs sat out there and tossed shells into her, without giving it even'a little help— but it had to be. “On our return we found that storm had moved on down Java and was squatting right on Malang Field. The turf was soaked into ap­ ple jelly, and our pilot did a wonder­ ful job on the landing. We were worried, because we knew that a single pound weight on the brakes would start our twenty-five tons slid­ ing over that slippery field like it was the frozen surface of a pond. So to keep from piling up in a crash at the end of the runway (remem­ ber, we had all our bombs aboard and couldn’t dump them because they were precious), our pilot ground-looped her, so she would start sliding sideways In that muck. Skidding along, he waited until, she had revolved in a 180-degree turn and was sliding backward. Of course she would then, have crashed tail- first into the end of the field and blown up all of us, but he was able to stop her by gunning the motors. Even if the wheels couldn’t bite into that slippery ground, the propellers could bite the air. It was neat. “Another gripe we had on Malang Field was the food. The mess was in charge of the Dutch. They served only one hot meal a day, and this was always at noon—usually hot soup with boiled beef and potatoes. But I only got to eat this hot noon meal three times—I was always out on missions, which should give some idea how busy we were. “They had baskets of food for us to take up in the plane—pineapples, tropical fruit, and then sandwiches which were either a slab of cheese, or else raw bacon, in between two thick hunks of bread. We found this heavy stuff made gas in your intes­ tines and just as you got to high al­ titude going over the target, this gas swelled up, giving you the gripes. So we’d eat the fruit and throw the sandwiches away. “Also Malay cooks don’t know hot food—the breakfast soft-boiled eggs were always hard, and they’d bring out a No. 10 can of jam for a hun­ dred and fifty men. What with get­ ting two or three hours' sleep a night, we all lost weight—two of us lost nineteen pounds and Charlie lost twenty-three, and it wasn’t scared off us, either. “We all felt that with a decent meal we could do a lot more. So as much as we needed sleep, at eight or nine o’clock at night we’d take the Dutch bus into town to a restaurant owned by a Javanese, which had a Dutch waitress who spoke English, just to buy us a thick, rare steak. Americans have got to have red meat to fight on. Give them that and they’ll manage to sleep when they can. “We finally took over the mess, but that didn’t help much, because by then the field was being bombed regularly. The mess sergeant had his kitchen blows up three times in a single day, and this, didn’t improve the flavor of things. But the worst thing was, he’d got hold of three truckloads of Reigel pale beer, and had the cases neatly stacked when a Jap bomb scored a direct hit, leav­ ing not more than three dozen bot­ tles. I never saw men any madder than we were when we came out of our foxholes and word went around they had blown tip our beer.” “They’d moved us over to Madi- un Field,” said the Bombardier, “and we had your troubles and soma more besides. When we first ar­ rived there were no P-40’s or anti­ aircraft guns for miles to keep the Zeros up. But we did have three D-model Fortresses out of commis­ sion we were using for spare parts. So Lieutenant McGee dismpunted their guns, and Master Sergeant Sit va and I decided to mount them in holes around the airfield!! At least these would keep off straferg. __1 CTO BE CONTINUED!. — ON THE (HOME FRONTS A HANDSOME pair of cushions to brighten up your living room may be made from things on hand or from remnants of silk.

No matter what I am doing when the paper comes I have to sit right down and read the news from "Good Old North Carolina, ” Thank you for being so patient with me. I shall try and remember next time. Yours truly, ADA SHERMER ROBERSON. Killed In Action '1i ' - Opposed To Fourth Tenn Chicago Mrs. James A. Farley, wife of the former Democratic na­ tional chairman a n d postmaster general, is here to watch the Re­ publican national convention and said yesterday she expects to vote for its presidential nominee. “That is.” she explained to re- poiters, “if President Roosevelt runs again. 44If th e Democrats nominate some one else I might not vote Re­ publican but I’m against a fourth term.” THED C. A. Robertson Salisbury^Funeral services for Charles A. Robertson, 65. who died early Sunday morning at a local hospital where he bad been a patient for several months, were conducted at Summersett Funeral Chapel here at 11 o'clock Monday.The body was taken to Mocksville for burial in the family plot at Rose Cemetery.Mr. Robertson, for roanv years a well known wholesale grocer here, had been in ill health for several years. He wa9 an active member of First Methodist Church, where he was a steward. He is survived by a sister. Mrs. Sadie Adams, of Greensboro, and a number of nieces and nephews. Intrigued We are intrigued by the story of the man in New York whose state return showed that he owned no tax bureau a money order for $00 00. Trying to fathom his rea soning, we have discarded timidity, practical jaking and relief, and have concluded that there is a man of patriotism and impecccable civic conscience trying to express his re­ gret that, in this year of decision, he has but one life to give to give to his country and $00 00 to his state treasury.— Muncie, Indiana, Press. - T-Sm.* * * ‘ I w** vA Mrs Granville Leagans, of near Cana, received a message from the War Department announcing that her son, Lieut. Joe E. Leagans, had been killed in action on June 8tb. Lieud. Leagans had been In England for several months. Heis survived by his widow, who lives in Greensboro; his mother, four broth­ ers and five sisters. One brother, F. R. Leagans, lives in Mocksville. This is the tenth Davie county boy who has given his life in defense of his country in the present war. To the bereaved ones The Record ex­ tends heartfelt sympathy in this great bereavement. Joe was about 26 years old, and was a graduate of Mocksville High School. He had many friends here who were sad­ dened by news of his death. This section was visited by a se­ vere electric, wind and rain storm early Friday morning, More than ij£ inches of rain fell in Mocks­ ville, which was badly needed. Land was badly washed in some sections, and some wheat was blown down. This is the first rain to a- mouot to anything that has fallen in Mocksville for four weeks.

Meat, in itself, is delicious, but if served i-n th e same way, with the same vegeta- bles or withoutSSiSss condiment's, oc­ casionally, it smacks of sameness. There are many who will always bake ham without’ varying the glaze to add interesting flavor to the meat. There, are others who don’t realize that a bit of natural, home- grown herbs will pep up the good, old-fashioned pot roast. Some al­ ways serve luncheon meats cold on a slab of bread or with potato salad, and so on. For once, let’s try things new and interesting: Liverwnrst Loaf.

Cut crust frotn bread, slice three inch lengthwise slices. Place one slice on baking sheet and spread with bologna paste. Top with re­ maining slice of bread.

Lynn Says Extra Attractions: Potato chips make nice snacks when there’s a rosette of cream cheese on each one of them. Simply soften cheese, and A rce through a pas­ try tube. Try a green salad with tender green scallions from the garden, and toss together with a sour cream dressing. It’s delicious! Dredge bacon pieces in com meal; fry until crisp.

DOKING FUN at our hats is even superseding the mother-in-law jokes these days, but, masculine scoffing to the-contrary, to women hats are the staff of life. You’ll see I’m not the only zany female in. Hollywood. Ask Irene Dunne. She owes her career to a hat. If It hadn’t been for a big one in _________ pale blue, Flor- enz Z ie g f e ld would never have noticed her; she’d never have won the le a d in "S h o w Boat” ; Hollywood would have missed her; and but for a hat ttie cinema capi­ tal would have Irene Dunne kept her in musi­ cals instead of giving her the plum role of Sabra in “Cimarron,” a picture which changed the entire course of her life. H ow I t S ta rted She’ll never forget the day she earned her first money singing hymns in the Indianapolis Baptist church choir—hymns taught her by the nuns at the Loretto convent in St. Louis. Her reward was a crisp new $10 bill, and just enough, to purchase her heart’s desire—a new hat. “The hat was large, of silky straw, a pale blue affair with long stream­ ers and extravagantly painted flow­ ers under the brim. I truly believe that from the day I wore it I sub­ consciously decided that I might really earn my living by sing­ ing. The-hat did it,” says Irene. Perhaps she was thinking of that hat when she won a voice contest at the Chicago Musical college, and so the ambition which had lain dormant since childhood crystallized into a genuine aim to become a singer. On H er W ay A year later, after hard study, she was singing the lead in the road show of the musical comedy “Irene” at a salary of $150 a week. Back in New York, Henry W. Sav­ age gave her a chance to under­ study Peggy Wood in “The Clinging Vine.” When Peggy's father died Irene stepped into the lead for a single Broadway performance! It was enough to. win her a chance at a summer of light opera sponsored by the Chandlers in Atlanta, Ga., a similar stint in St. Louis, and the lead in “The City Chap” for the Dillinghams, which was followed by the lead in “Sweetheart Time.” This called for a new hat and a party at the New York Biltmore. A strange gentleman noticed the hat first, and requested an introduction. Three years later she married Dr. Francis Griffin—the same gentle­ man. The bridal couple boarded the Berengaria and sailed for a Euro­ pean honeymoon. “The day after I returned home wearing a beautiful new blue hat purchased in Paris,” recounts Miss Dunne, “was the day I met Flo Ziegfeld in an elevator. Before I left the building he sent for the girl in “the blue hat!’ ” A D ream C om e T rue Because of that hat, Edna Fer- ber’s glorious “Show Boat” was Irene's for the asking. The opening night of “Show Boat” marked the starting of a rich and varied career for the pretty girl with a voice and pretty hats. When the search for the heroine of “Cimarron” began, Irene inveigled a test and there was an astounded gasp Irom producers. Sabra, a straight dramatic role, the emotion­ al plum of the year, to a musical comedy actress? Nonsense! Nonsense or not, she wanted it, and got it—thanks to a hat which she borrowed from a wig designer. T rail B lazer “Cimarron” started an entirely new cycle. “Magnificent Obsession,” “Back Street,” “Symphony of Six Million,” “The Secret of Madame Blanche,” “The Silver Cord,” and so on. Then Irene had a hunch it was time to try comedy. She accepted the harum-scarum girl of “Theodora Goes Wild.” “The Awful Truth” fol­ lowed, and she found herself hailed as a comedienne. Critics are again pointing with pride to her as an emotional actress for such romantic roles as the girl of M-G-M’s “A Guy Named Joe,” opposite Spencer Tracy, and that veritable cavalcade of a woman’s lifetime, “The White Cliffs of Dover.” Irene Dunne, accompanied by Dr. Griffin, went east for the premiere of the latter picture. She’s back home now, ready for either drama, comedy, musical, or romance. Snooper-Dooper Too bad that “Here Come the WAVES” isn’t ready for release now. It would help recruiting. I vis­ ited the set the other day. Betty Hut­ ton had them play back the record she made singing a duet with her­ self. It's her first doubling-job;' She plays a blonde and redhead. Some­ times she switches from one role to the other four times a day. That means new makeup and blonde hair washed and reset. She was grateful foi the patience of Mark Sandrich.

Passenger car tire shortage Is ex­ pected to continue well into the summer months, a t which time syn­ thetic tires may make their appear­ ance in growing numbers.That's why extreme tire care is important now. In 1910 crude rubber sold for an average of $2.06 a pound In New York. Since September 12/ 1941/ it has been fixed by a government agency at 22ft cents a pound.

You can____________ take the wordof G eneral E isenhower that your man or woman in uniform will be deeply inter­ested.Your War Bond buying is a good tip-off to them aboutthe state ol af­fairs in your home. The headlines in this newspaper on the progress of the drive, the items about par­ticipating individuals, the character of the Fifth War Loan special events—all these things reflect the morale back home.Do you like to read a sorry head­line about the invasion fronts? Our fighting forces, made up of indi­viduals with the same reactions to good and bad as you, will not be heartened to read: “Fifth War Loan Lass."Your silence in your letter about your part in the Fifth War Loan will mean non-interest, perhaps non­participation to the recipients. It’s up to you to make your letters cheerful. Write today. WVLte often. Write about your war work, your war support. Double your best previous War Bond buying record and then shout it to the housetops— just to that special service man. THE EDITOR. Don Winslow of the Navy Sy Li. Comdr. Frank Martinek DON WINSIOW SAYS. To the People off this Community YOV ARE IMPORTANT Tliere Is no such thing as a "little” investment in the Fourth War Loan. Your $25 or $50 or $100 Extra War Bond may not have great im- portance in yotur mind in making up a 5% billion dollar to­tal for individu­als. But multiply y o u rse lf by 130,000,000 and then you see in real perspective how truly great each citizen be­comes in massing national strength against the Nazis and the Japs. Capt. Maurice Witherspoon, Navy chaplain aboard the Carrier Wasp when she sank, tells of a rescued wounded sailor, who, as he re-fained consciousness, asked: “Did do my best?” That’s the only question you, too. have to ask yourself when you de­cide the extent of your personal participation in the Fourth War Loan. There undoubtedly will be large single purchases of War Bonds in this community, but yours—if it is "your best” will deserve equally the red, white and blue shield you are privileged to display in the win­dow of your home. “Lel*i Keep Backing the Atlack.''

Y.: The slogan of the Grandmothers War Bond League, Grandmother's Bond with the Future—War Bonds,” is a common bond between two hard working grandmothers at the Aero Spark Plug Cor­poration in New York. Mrs. Eliza- ieth Taggart (left) and Mrs. Edna Neff invest part of their salaries in War Bonds every pay day. Three-year-old grandson, John Wurmser, is co-owner of the Bonds Mrs. Taggart buys to back her fight­ing Seabee stepson, James Taggart. Mrs. Neff’s 10-month-old grand­ daughter, Barbara Ann, receives War Bond gifts as part of her grand­mother’s “back the attack” program ill honor of Barbara’s Marine daddy, a master technical sergeant, the highest rank of an enlisted Marine. Mrs. Neff also has a son, Herman, fireman first class in the Navy. Her ( last letter from him came from I Guadalcanal.Di endorsing the Grandmothers League founded by Mrs. Marshall, wife of the General, Mrs. Neff agrees with Mrs. Taggart that “in buying Bonds with our grandchildren as co- owners, we have an emergency fund to use if necessary. But we don’t ex- Ilect that. We want the Bonds to be there for the children’s education.” Slack Suit Useful and Will Save Money for War Bonds Every well-rounded wardrobe should Incfanle a slack salt.
