If it were given men to choose One thing of all the earth; In order that I might not lose The greatest thing of worth. I’d choose God’s sacred holy will Whatever it might be. For truly this would then fulfill All His great plans for me, Within His will all need is found For body, mind and soul To make us pure, clean and sound And lead us to life’s goal, Where all true victors go to stay When life is ended here, And where there is eternal day. And peace and joy and cheer. This poem expresses eternal truth. If every human being on earth would choose God’s will a- bove everything else no life would be lost, no soul would sink into de­ spair. Success would crown every life and soul. There is no such thing as failure in life when one chooses God’s will and lives with­ in it as he goes thru the world. It leads to the highest, best, holiest, grandest and most glorious In all things God’s will always leads away fiom the degrading, demoral­ izing, defeating, destructive things of evil unto aH that is ennobling, uplifting, upbuilding and conserva­ tive. His will leads, always leads, heavenward. In God’s will is glo\ rlons success success for time and eternity. However, out of God’s will is defeat. Hence the multitudes of defeated lives and souls through­ out the earth today. Evil sin and wickedness a'ways brings defeat to men, both for time and eternity, and this is forever ont of the will of God. Wheu I see people all a- Iong life's journey groping their way in defeat I know they have failed to choose and live within God’s will. They have absolutely missed His will. It can’t be other­ wise. Many have missed His will for evil pleasures, sinful indulgen­ ces, lusifnl habits, bad company, money and riches, houses and lands, selfish purposes, the wrong avoca tion, and for the sake of doing as they please Many miss the will of God because tbe/ do not want to go where He leads, do the work He assigns, obey His command­ ments, yield their lives unto Him and please Him in all things They take tbe way of the world, the way of evil, the way of fleshly pleasure, thus going tbe way of the vast multitudes, and this is never the way to life’s best, most successful, and never the way to heaven. It is the way to failure, blighted lives, blasted hopes, lost opgortunitles and everlasting remorse. Life’s bet­ ter way is to take God’s way— choose His will.

Peace Offensive Samson is straining at tbe pil­ lars. but not with any hope of bringiug down tbe house which shelters him. By threatening the destruction 0 f Europe, Hitler thinks be will force tbe Allies to agree to a negotiated peace. The military senseless robot bombing of London, coupled with the recent mystic German broadcast is part of a well planned peace offensive. The Germans know they have lost the war are still unwilling to surrender unconditionally. Goed- bels is no longer bombastic. There is no more boasting of German su­ periority. But like a bad little boy who smashes the toys of his play, mates because he can’t have them for himself, he promises tbe de­ struction by fire and sword of oc­ cupied Europe, the dynamiting of cities, tbe slangbter of millions, for with all hope gone nothing remains to the Hun but the iust for blood. Frightfulness is an old -German trick, but it no longer intimidates. The world has become calloused to Nazi atrocities, and nothing their develish minds can think up will shock Allied leadership into mak­ ing the least of concessions. Tbe greatei the destruction wrought by the retreating Huns, the longer will the people of Germany have to labor to restore, repair and rebuild. Resentment of oppressed peoples has grown to hate and crystallized fury, demanding retaliation—eve for eye, life for life. Let Goeb- Dels try to talk himself out of that! -Statesville Daily. Leaf Farmers Voice Protest Tobacco farmers, over their beads in their first curings, nevertheless filled the Robeson county court bouse at Luraberton, one after­ noon last week, in protest ot the re­ cent Washington ruling decimating tbe buyers and cutting the selling time 30 per cent. Farmers from South Carolina joined in the vote which carried unanimously a resolution sent to the governors of Virginia, North and South Carolina, asking for tbe same selling time as that allowed last year, for the same number of sets of buyers, and for represents tion on the United States Tobacco association. The initiative taken by the bor­ der belt got inspiration from Con­ gressman Bayard Clark, who de dared that if the action cutting all sets of buyers over three and re­ ducing the hours 30 per cent could be defeated now because the tobac. CO people have had no opportunity to adjust themselves to this drastic order. The Washington order does not affect Georgia’s growers and ware houseman; therefore, no represen tation came from that state.

The Sonth has been almost com­ pletely ignored by the National Democratic convention -regarded as no more than a disowned and disinherited child. Some of its delegates were even booed for proposing and voting for Senator Harry Byrd as the Presi­ dential nominee. This was high treason in the es­ timation of tbe big city machine bosses and mongrel minorities which have come to control the party’s policies and programs. Others sought to venture their protest against certain planks in the platform, but they were laugh ed at to the accompaniment of scorn and told to run along home and be good little boys. The wbip-lash was working with masterful unmercy against the old line, Jeffersonian political princi pies of tbe Democratic South, part of which, at heart, at any rate, has not yet joined the brigades within the organization that worship tbe modern gods of their present party dominance. And it must be fairly remarked, also, that this treatment is just a- bout what the South has asked tor. It has come, with its 146 elector­ al votes, to occupy no place of su­ perior importance or influence in the councils of the National party. And for the logical reason that tbe National party leaders know that they can hog it all over South­ ern representation and still come up on election day with the South’s support of the action and the nom­ inees of rhe convention. We are rather old-fogey down this way, trailing the times, out of step with tbe march of progress, dead set against the new liberalism which, in some salient respects, is nothing less abominable than an old radicalism. That’s what the party bosses say of the South. And they say it because tbe South wants or what it demands of its na­ tional organization! Perhaps some of these years it will be different. The nation may eventually re­ turn from some of its follies and again pin its faith to some at least of the bed-rock principles and ven­ erable landmarks of democracy to which the Sonth continues to cling fast, even though, unfortunately, too unvocal about them. We, at least, down this way, are not a people solidly of strange isms and questionable cults in our poli­ tical faith. We may be a minority within the Democratic Party, but we are a mi noritv of Anglo-Saxons, and not a minority of gate crashing outsider at the temple of the nation’s De­ mocracy. There is much of respect among our people tor the principles of Jackson and Cleveland and Wilson. These are names to be stricken from the list of immortals only be­ cause in tbeir day these party lead­ ers would not bend tbe knee to ev­ ery Baal that some powerful vot­ ing group might cteate, or bow in reverence to some popular standard which apostates would erect. Here in the South is the citadel of a pure and undefiled brand of Americanism as to constitutional and representative government, free from the fetters of crooked bosses in big cities, free from the shackles of vindictive groups within our own regional electorate who have gone drunk with unmerited political power.| Tbe South, the home of democ. racy, may come into its own again some day, but not until America itself dominantly begins again to respect the cradle in which it was born and to show reverence to the honored ancestry from which it sprang. A Voice From The Grave The following letter was written by Pfc. Lester Peacock, who was stationed at Tucson, Ariz , to his father, W. D. Peacock, Statesville, R. 3, on June 24, 1944. Lester was killed on June 29th, when an oxygen tank exploded. The let­ ter follows: Dearest Daddy:—I just received your letter and was very glad to hear from you This leaves me teeling fine but tired. I just got off from work at the Service Club. I woik 8 hours on planes and 7 hours extra at tbe Club. I don’t get much sleep, aud I don’t have much time tor anything but I al­ ways take time to write you. Well Dad, I am glad to know yourcrops are looking good—just wish I was there to help you with them. I am praying that you keep in the best of health, and that you make good. I hope and pray that you and the kids can take care of the crops. There isn’t a day passes that I don’t pray for you and wish that I could be there with you to farm. Well Dad, it isn’t long until I’ll have to go to my work. I get off at 4 o’clock at tbe Service Club and go to work on planes at 4:30 and work until 12:30 tonight, so you see I haven’t got time to write much. So long, Dad, and answer soon as you can. Tell all hello. Yonr loving son. God bless you. Love forever, LESTER. Davie Marine On Furlough San Diego, Calif.; July 20:—Among a group of 2,744 men of the - Fighting First Marine Division who have returned to the United States for their first furlough in 26 months or more is Private First Class Don Stones, 19. son of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Goforth. Route I. Advance, North Caro­ lina. He attended the Smith Grove school at Advance prior to his enlistment in tbe Marine Corps, December 20,1941, at Wins­ ton-Salem. The First Marine Dividsion men have scored many firsts: They were first to strike an offensive blow against the Japanese when they landed on Guadalcanal on Aug. 7,1942. They were the first unit to win the Presidential Citation. Later they landed at Cape Gloucester on New Britain to start the campaign which has taken Western New Britain from the enemy. Tough, lean and hard from more than two years in the jungle, the men of the First will be brought to the largest city near their homes on special troop trains then will be given 30 day furloughs at at borne. The special trains were ar­ ranged so these veterans of the Pacific war would not have to wrestle wartime transporeation and lose much of their furlough time enronte. Work Halted On Power Plant Members of the High Point board of power commissioners, notified through the Winston-Salem office of the federal works agency, that work on the $8 ,500,000 hvdro elec trie plant on the Yadkin river has been stopped until after the war, said that the development means the project has reached the point where critical materials and un. available labor would be needed for further construction. Between 85 and 90 per cent of the necessary land for tbe reser­ voir has been bought or placed under option, it was stated, aod plans for construction of the dam have been completed. Stopping work at this point, it was pointed 0 at, simply means that building the plant proper is next at hand, and that will wait until labor and ma­ terials are available.

JUNE T2th / - JULY 8th UstenTo This Democrat The Macon Ga., Tlegraph a De­ mocratic Newspaper, has ihis to ■say about Tom Dewey and Roose­ velt: The rise of Thomas E. Dewey in popular favor has been one of the most remarkable events in the poli- cal history oftbiscountiy . . . He has made a good governoi—a thous­ and times better than bis Demo­ cratic predecessor, Roosevelt. . . . From a Republican point of view it is rather unfortunate that Wen­ dell Willkie, who suffered an amaz­ ing slump in public esteem, should be playing the dog in the manger and consciously or involuntarily splitting his own party. But tbe brutal truth is that literally millions of American citizins have reached the point where they are not voting for anybody, but are voting against the man who wrecked his own par­ ty and sought to enslave the mass­ es of the people with his dictatorial directives. Massachusetts Men De­ sert Ticket Chicago—Protesting the nomina­ tion of the Roosevelt Truman tick­ et by the Democratic National Con­ vention, two Massachusetts Demo­ crats who accompanied the State’s delegation, announced that they Intend to campaign throughout New England for Republican nom­ inees Dewey and Bricker. The two are Joseph Lee, former Boston school committee member, and Charles H. McGlne, former Massachusetts State Democratic chairman. They disclosed that they were returning to Boston to establish Dewey-Bricker headquarters at 11 Beacon Street as “Jefferson Dem- ocrats.” RATION GUIDE SHOES—Airplane stamps I and 2, in Book 3, good Hi- definitely.

Qrm Red Mites Invading Many Prize Orchards Proper Spraying Will Aid in Control Work Fruit orchards are being attacked by an invader as deadly as any killer insect that ever flew or crawled. The common name for the pest in the east is the red mite. The great danger in the case of red mite is that because it is a new­ comer to many sections, the great majority of growers do not recog­ nize it when evidences of its pres­ ence appear on their trees. State entomologists have many instances in their records where the grower was utterly dumfounded when in­ formed his trees were being at­ tacked by red mites. This is probably true because damage is not immediately appar­ ent. Since Uie red mite attacks the fruit itself, flrst indications of the damage appear on the leaves, which turn brown. By midsummer, the infestation has built up to 'the point where the whole tree has a bronze - like appearance. Once brown, the leaves, which are very Frnit trees must be protected as never before. The red mites prom­ ise to do considerable damage in Irnit orchards unless constant watch is kept and power spraying resorted to as needed. essential in growing a healthy fruit crop, remain that way for the re­ mainder of the season, resulting in undersized, poor quality fruit. The red mite is present in the egg stage during the winter, hatching about the time growth starts. There are several genera­ tions during the summer, popula­ tions per leaf usually running from SO to 100 mites, although they have been observed as high as SOO per leaf. The grower, who, upon exami­ nation, finds only a few mites on his foliage, should not feel secure, for the red mite has truly amazing reproductive powers. Even though only two mites, are present, they may be responsible for an increase into the many thousands in as little as 78 hours.There are effective, tested con­ trols for red mite. Here is what Ray Hutson, well-known state en­ tomologist, has to say on the sub­ ject: "Meeting the red mite problem in the apple orchard is a proposition of picking out things that will do the most good, for various con­ ditions have a tendency toward working against one another. Cer­ tain varieties (e. g. Delicious and Baldwin) are more susceptible. A 3 per cent dormant oil kills all red mite eggs that are hit. Two appli­ cations a week apart of a I per cent summer oil and foliage applications are effective. Potato Digging Machine Proves Very Successful A labor saving attachment that can be adapted to any power take­ off. potato digger has been de­ veloped by the rural engineering de­ partment at the Montana agricul­ tural experiment station. With the attachment the potatoes are dug, rocks and clods sorted out, and the tubers sacked and set off on the ground while the machine is in continual operation. After field tests, F. M. Harrington, head of the horticultural department at the sta­ tion, estimates that the picking machine with a five-man crew does as much work as an 11-man crew picking by hand. The station's potato digger was altered to raise the elevator apron and deliver the tubers onto a sort­ ing conveyor instead of dropping them on the ground. As the potatoes travel along the conveyor, clods and rocks are removed. Potatoes in Feed Potato drying plants that have been handling low-grade potatoes purchased by the government for the past several months are still in operation, another government re­ port says. Some of these dried po­ tatoes are being used in livestock feeds, according to W. T. Grams of the New York State Agricultural Ad­ justment administration office. As they contain about 8 per cent pro­ tein, little fiber, and much carbohy­ drate, they have real feed value. I Pleasant Thought for Pie-Hungry Families! (See Recipes Below) Pies Aplenty Pies are good eating, even In the Warmest weather. And better still, there are pies for every season and every mood. For summer you may like juicy, luscious berry pies, their gay color­ ed fillings peek­ ing out of a lat­ tice crust. Or you may take the easy way and prepare chiffon pies, light and airy as a feather, with easy - to - make crumb crusts that require no bak­ ing. Whatever the type, you’re cer­ tain to enjoy them. Full of the goodness of golden peaches is this fruity pie: Fresh Peach Pie. 4 cups sliced fresh peaches I cup sugar 4 tablespoons flour Yt teaspoon cinnamon I tablespoon butter Fill pastry-lined pan with fruit mixture, sprinkling the peaches with sugar and flour mixed. Sprinkle with cinnamon and dot with butter. Cover with a top crust and bake 10 minutes in a 450-degree oven and 30 minutes in a moderate (350-degree) oven. Serve warm. Any of the berries may be used in this pie as the basic recipe is the same. Try it several times with blueberries, raspberries, blackber­ ries or loganberries: Fresh Berry Pie. 1 quart fresh berries Va to I cup sugar 4 tablespoons flour 2 teaspoons quick-cooking tapioca Yt teaspoon cinnamon I tablespoon butter Fill pastry-lined pan with berries. Sprinkle with sugar and flour. With half of the ber­ ries in the pan, cover with tapi­ oca, then with re­ maining berries, cinnamon a n d butter. If the ber­ ries are dry, sprinkle with I or 2 tablespoons wa­ ter. Cover with top crust and bake in a hot oven 10 minutes and in a moderate oven 30 minutes. . Blueberry Pie: Substitute 1% ta­ blespoons lemon juice for cinnamon. Citrus Chiffon Pies are as cool as ocean spray. They are made so quickly, require no baking, and are made-to-order summer desserts: •Lemon Chiffon Pie. 3 egg yolks 3A cup sugar M teaspoon salt I tablespoon grated lemon rind tA cup lemon juice, strained 4 tablespoons lemon-flavored gelatin Yt cup boiling water 3 egg whites Ya teaspoon cream of tartar Cornflake Crust Beat egg yolks with a spoon in top of the double boiler.

Biscuits dressed up like this go well with main dish sab ads. Don’t waste leftover biscuits by making them into crumbs. They’re pleasing escorts when served toasted with peanut but­ ter or citrus marmalade.Fruit cups are best when chilled thoroughly. Try this combination: Cooked prunes, canned yellow cling peaches, orange segments, peach syrup, honey and lemon juice.

To make meringue, beat egg whites until fluffy and graduaUy add remainder of sugar. Carefully told meringue into filling and pile into crumb crust. Place in refrigerator until well set, about 2 hours. Serve cold. Lime Chiffon Pie: Use lime in above recipe in place of lemon. Green coloring may be added to in­ tensify the color. Cornflake Crust 4 cups rolled cornflakes H cup butter Ya cup sugar Roll cornflakes fine. Melt butter in pie pan, add sugar and crumbs and mix thoroughly. Press evenly and firmly around sides and bot* tom of pie pan. Like custards? Then you will en­ joy grandmother’s old-fashioned cus­ tard baked right into the flaky crust: Grandmother’s Custard Pie. 3 eggs (or, 6 yolks) Yi cup sugar Yt teaspoon salt Ya teaspoon nutmeg 2% cups milk Beat eggs slightly, add sugar, salt, nutmeg and milk. Pour into a chilled pastry-lined pie pan. Bake in a hot oven 15 minutes, then in a moderate oven to finish. Bake until a silver knife inserted into the custard comes out clean. French Apple Pie. Make pastry for one-crust pie. Fit into pan and flute edges. OiiU1 fill with apples (for 9-inch pie, use 4 cups sliced ap­ ples, I cup sugar, I teaspoon cinna­ mon and I table­ spoon b u tter). Then sprinkle with crumb top­ ping: Yi cup butter Yt cup brown sugar I cup flour Bake 45 minutes to one hour until apples are done and topping is deli­ cately browned. Serve warm. Want Good Pastry? An old saying goes that "A pie is as good as its crust.’’ No truer words were ever spoken. Unless the crust is short, tender and flaky, the juiciest berries or most luscious fruit can do nothing for the pie. Here are the rules: 1. Keep aU ingredients and bowls weU chilled. 2. Don’t work over the piecrust. The lazier you are, the better the crust. 3. Use a minimum of water for moistening. Two-Crust Ple Pastry. (Nine-inch) 2 cups sifted flour I teaspoon salt H cup shortening 4 to 6 tablespoons ice water To make pastry, sift flour once, add salt and then sift again. IiIix one-half of shortening into flour and cut into mixture finely. Add re­ mainder of shortening and cut into flour until mixture has the ap­ pearance of coarse meal. Blend lightly, using just enough water to hold mixture together. Roll on floured doth and fit to pastry tin.. One-Crust Pies. The method for making one-crust pies is similar to the two-crust type, but the ingredients are as follows: I cup flour, Yt teaspoon salt, % cup shortening and 2 to 3 tablespoons ice water.

Davie Boy In South Seas The following; letter was written in answer to the prayers of the Prayer Band of Smith Grove Meth odist Church, whose prayers are dedicated to the boys in Service who have left their chnrch: South Pacific, July 12. Dear Prayer Band;—I received your letter of July 2nd, todav, and was overwhelmed with emotion to think that the people of Smith Grove, have called on the Father to care foi and guide me. I hope that mv deeds and conduct always justifies tbe faith you have in me. I am not, and dan't suppose I aver will be, in a postion where I can meet the enemy face to face, but still the ones who do face the enemy must be supplied with the necessities and in that I try to do my part. There sure is no glory in this work but neither is there much danger. I also received a letter from Mrs Peury, dated July 2nd, and she asked me if I had any news of John Glffier Livingston. Tell her, or Mrs. Divingston. that I don’t know anything more than that he was in the attack on Saipan. I hope she has heard from him ere now. I have been kept busy reeently. I had planned on getting a pass this week-end, but that will have to be postponed for there wilt be too much work to do I can wait another week or two. The war seems to be progressing very favorably now, bnt just in case anyone thinks it will be over in a month or two, I can sav that they are over-optomistic. I believe it will take another year or more, and then it will be some time be­ fore the world is in order enough for the return home of any great amount of the boys in service. I hope, however, that it Is much sooner than I have pred cted. Be­ lieve me, it would be good to get back to Smitn Grove once more. Before I close, may I say that if my prayers will help, add them to yours for the ones who are in grea­ ter peril than I May God be with them always and show them tbe way. Best wishes to all.

GREYHOUND I' I THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE, N. C. Let's Face Facts USDA Report Biased Regarding Problem of Freight Equalization B y BARROW LYONS — ... WNU Sioff Correspondent*— ■ tJU Barrow Lyons WASHINGTON, D. C.— Under the guise of im partial and balanced analysis, the United States departm ent of agriculture has just issued an extrem ely biased piece of propaganda, prim arily in the inter­ est of the railroads, but incidentally against the interests of the average farm er. Tliis propaganda is contained in the principal article of the June is­ sue of the month­ ly release on the m arketing a n d tra n s p o rta tio n situation, pub­ lished by t h e bureau of agri­ cultural econom­ ics. The article is devoted to inter- territorial freight rate differences. This report cov­ ers some of the points developed in studies made of freight rate discriminations against the South and West by two governmental bodies—the board of investigation and research and the Tennessee Valley authority. The review is apparently an at­ tem pt to influence farm er opinion, and is in bad taste coming as it does when the Interstate Commerce commission has just completed final hearings in the freight rate equali­ zation cases. It seems to be an at­ tem pt to undermine the determ ina­ tion of the South to obtain justice, for it raises broad doubts as to the wisdom of the South’s position. In effect, it also casts doubt upon the position taken by President Roose­ velt. Important Data Omitted Although the piece goes through the motions of weighing carefuUy all factors involved, its presentation leaves out of consideration the most im portant and relevant data, nam e­ ly, portrayal of the conditions which have given the South its tremendous determination to remove the handi­ caps that have retarded its indus­ trialization, and Uie importance to southern agriculture that these handicaps be removed. But not only does the departm ent of agriculture presentation omit im ­ portant facts, it subtly distorts some of the data which it presents. For instance, it shows that first- class freight rates are 39 per cent higher in the South than in Eastern industrialized territory, and all class rates taken together 33 per cent higher, but then goes on to minimize the significance of these facts. It recites that average reve­ nue per ton-mile in the South is only 5.5 per cent greater than in the E ast, without m aking it clear that this is due largely to lower grade freight carried on southern roads. Nor does it anywhere envisage the advantages which would accrue from lower class rates. This intensely lopsided presenta­ tion suggests that the railroads m ay have influenced the departm ent of agriculture, perhaps through the instrum entality of large agricultural shippers, upon whom they have been working hard to oppose the southern governors’ conference. The truth is that a m ajority of the people of the South, and m any in the West, have come to the reali­ zation that without greater indus­ trialization their sections cannot hope to have the sam e advantages in education and m aterial culture as the people of the E ast and Middle West. Poverty, illiteracy, bad health, ignorance will continue to oppress a large percentage of the people of the South and West until average income is raised through development of industry. Until then local governments cannot give their people the sam e advantages as people in other parts of the country. Other Sections Unhurt In no way can the industrialization of the South and W est hurt the farm ­ ers of those areas. By increasing average income, industry will in­ crease the consuming capacity of the South and W est for all of the things the farm er grows. It can m ean only the development of rich­ er m arkets nearer to the farm s. Industrialization of one region never injures the farm ers of another re­ gion, but only expands the m arkets for the things he ships. Even the big shippers, some of whom have been told that commodi­ ty rates m ight be raised if class rates were equalized, would not be losers, but would gain from in­ creased prosperity anywhere. True, progress has been made by industry in the South, even un­ der the handicap of a 39 per cent class rate discrimination. Removal of this handicap would support one of the chief hopes we have of main­ taining a high level of employment and'incom e after the war.... Those who understand the great struggle between the sm all farm ers and the big farm ers, see in this freight rate situation just another phase of the conflict. By increasing the economic standards of the South, m any sm all farm ers would be enabled to operate more profitably, and enjoy m ore of the advantages of liiis m odern age. On the other hand, by holding back the industrial growth of the South, many m ore sm all farm ers would be forced to become hired hands on the grow­ ing plantations of the large farm ers. Injured by Robot Bombings This radiophoto received from London shows patients being received at a hospital after the building in which they had been hospitalized was hit by a Nazi flying robot bomb. More than 2,752 persons were lulled and 8,000 hospitalized in first report issued by Prime Minister Churchill. While effective steps have been taken to combat the effectiveness of new robot campaign, and the majority of them are destroyed, they still remain a serious threat to London.

Byron Nelson Released by W estern Newspaper Union. GEORGE Ade once wrote “High east winds always prevail in the locker room s.” Those east winds are still blow­ ing as gustily as ever, carrying the sam e old argu­ m ents. One of them How would the golf­ ers of 20 years ago — M ac Smith, Wal­ ter Hagen, J i m Barnes, Jock Hut­ chison, Johnny F ar­ rell, Gene Sarazen, Tommy Armour, H arry Cooper, Bob­ by Cruickshank, Willie M acFarlane and others — score if they were play­ ing tournam ent golf today? The record books will show you that 20 years ago a golfer could win almost any tournament by shooting par golf. The United States Open at Oakland Hills in 1924 was won by Cyril Walker with socres of 74-74-74-75 — 297. Bobby Jones fin­ ished second with a total of 74-73- 75-78—300. When the United States Open was again held at Oakland Hills, in 1937, 10 golfers finished under W alker’s winning score of 1924. Four others tied it and Ralph Guldahl won the title with 284 strokes. Modern G olf The M asters’ tournam ent of 1942 highlighted the near perfection of of modern golf. At the halfway m ark of 36 holes Ben Hogan was eight strokes behind Byron Nelson. In the old days a m an that far off the pace settled for "also-ran m oney.” But not dim inutive Ben. He burned Uii the stretch with phenom enal golf to wind up in a tie with Nelson at 230—eight strokes better than par. The two men went into the play­ off, one of the greatest nerve shat- tcrers in sport. Usually athletes in play-offs are expected to crack a bit, to yield to the overwhelming pressure. They tighten up. But Nel­ son and Hogan reversed the usual form. They played the toughest course in the United States in beau­ tiful totals. Hogan scored a two- under-par 70. Nelson fired a 69 to win the title. This doesn’t m ean that Hogan and Nelson were necessarily superior to the golfers of a score of years ago. Today’s scores w ere impossible 20 years ago. The m odern golfer benefits from the m any improve­ m ents that help produce low scores. These advantages include steel- shafted clubs, a longer ball, the dynam iter and infinitely better fair­ ways and greens. The dynam iter—or blaster—saves the average professional players a few strokes on nearly every round. Good golfers have lost their fear of traps. They lay the ball near the pin from alm ost any kind of a trapped lie. One Difference The old timers putted on hard, unwatered greens. Their speed was no more constant than New Eng­ land weather. Fairways, after a dry spell, were baked to a hard, rough surface. Today’s golfer plays on well-watered, soft greens. Fairways are well kept and smooth. The rough is controlled. Many of the m en who m ade golf popular in this country would sneer at the suggestion that Jones, Hagen, Sarazen, M ac Smith and the others could not have scored as low as the mod­ ern players. They honestly believe that not m ore than two or three of today’s players would have had the ghost of a chance in national competition 20 years ago. Golf, they feel, has been simplified to such an ex­ tent that it isn’t the test of skill it cmce was. We straddle the fence on the en­ tire question. It is our belief that the best of the old timers — if they were at the peak of their form today —would be as good as the best of the modern players. And we also believe that the present-day top- notchers would have been topnotch- ers 20 years ago. Golf is m ore than a m atter of clubs, balls and course condition. Two of the qualities m ost necessary to reach the top are determ ination and concentration. These w ere the possessions of m any old-timers. The individual still counts most. Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, Jug Mc- Spaden are the sam e kind of play­ ers as Hagen, Jones and Sarazen. ...

CHAPTER XX “Presently the old sheep-rancher who took care of this shack and also ran the general store strolled over, and we began to talk. “ ‘U ad any trouble around here?’ I asked him. " ‘N o/ he said. jJap planes come over once in a while. Over here, som etim es over W yndham and P ort Hediand too, they sa y / “ ‘W hat do you m ean, once in a while?’ “ ‘The last one was Just last night, since you m ention it/ he said. ‘Came over very high, early in the morn­ ing/ “So a t breakfast I m entioned it to the officer in charge of the field (a new m an. Just out from the States). ‘Did you know, sir, the Japs had a recco plane over last night?’ And went on to say that we had quite a bit of stuff here, and while of course the crew s were terribly tired, m aybe it should be moved out. “He listened, and because I was on edge, his hesitation somehow an­ noyed m e. But he finally said m ay­ be I had a point there. And think­ ing about it, he finished his break­ fast. I was glad when we got out of there after breakfast for Mel­ bourne.” "We worked m ost of the night on the brakes, and then w ent to sleep in that hangar shack. I slept fit­ fully—woke at five, to get an early start. It didn’t seem healthy to m e or to any of the rest of us. A fter a m akeshift m ess—hot beans and cof­ fee plus field rations—we went out to the ship a t six and stood by. “Skiles had asked the officer in charge when he could take off. But 1 he gave Skiles to understand we 1 were evacuees just like the others. I -When we w ere given our passenger 1 list, we could go. “So we stood around the plane from six o’clock until 9:10, waiting for that list and those orders. At this m inute Sergeant B ritt happened to lode up and hollered: ‘M ake a run for it, fellows—here come som e Zeros I’ Five of us who were stand­ ing back of the plane dropped into a hole about.fifty feet away. “One Zero peeled off and strafed the Fortress with incendiaries. It caught fire im m ediately, then the Zero w ent on down and strafed a B-24, setting it afire. Then it turned and, coming in directly over our hole from the rear, strafed them again. It repeated this six tim es, - also firing a 20-m illim eter cannon at us, which caved in our hole and cov­ ered us with dirt. "W hen Sergeant B ritt first hol­ lered out, a big B-24 loaded with twenty-six people had just cleared the runway. When the Zeros hit, it was out over the ocean headed for Perth. It had hardly had tim e to pull its wheels up—and there was no room in there for them to swing a gun in their own defense—when a Zero caught up with it and dropped it in the sea. “Two sergeants m anaged to get out. They sw am for thirty-two hours, one of them giving up in sight of shore. The other told us what it had been like inside there when those bullets cam e sm ashing through that packed crowd, and a few seconds later when those dying and wounded w ere all struggling not to drown as the w ater cam e in. “That day the Japs got another B-24 on the ground (it had been the one General B rett him self used), three Forts, a DC-2 and a DC-3, a Lockheed—but the worst were the nine Dutch flying boats they caught out in the harbor. About forty or fifty people w ere killed on them , m ostly women and children. “I saw one Dutchm an swim ashore dragging his wife by the hair. The whole lower half of her face had been blown aw ay and, she was dead. I saw another woman standing on the wing of one of the planes which w as burning. She had a child in her arm s, and was ready to jum p and swim ashore, when a cannon shot hit her in the back and broke her into halves. They both fell forw ard into the w ater, but the arm s on the top half which held, the child never let go of it. “The m en who w ere left were al­ m ost crazy with rage. One Zero was shot down by a Dutchm an who stood in front of the hangar holding a .30- caliber m achine gun across his arm . The gun got so hot it scorched right into his flesh, but he , never noticed it. It turned out that Broome’s anti­ aircraft defense consisted of just this one .30-caliber gun. The Japs did the whole job in thirty m inutes-^ didn’t leave a thing. “Finally the officer in charge told us: ‘We expect planes in between now and midnight, but we don’t know how m any. We’re compiling a W.N.U.TEATUCEI priority list, but if your nam e isn’t called by two o'clock, I advise you to get out of here quick, and the best way you can, even if you have to walk—and it’s a long walk.' “He turned out to be right. I fooled around until 2:30 and then, when m y nam e hadn’t been ealled, nine of us decided we’d string along w ith a civilian contractor who’d of­ fered us a lift. He had thirty m en and five Ford trucks, and said he was headed south down the coast for the nearest town, called Port Hed- land, two hundred miles away. The Army had some em ergency rations hidden in the woods, so we helped ourselves to enough of those to keep us on the trip. “Then I began to find out about A ustralia. Those guys are like our W esterners—pioneer types, except bigger. When we got twenty miles out of Broome the road ended en­ tirely. A fter that—nothing at a lt We had to push those trucks through sand, and m ake long detours around salt-w ater m arshes. Even our drink­ ing w ater had to be carried in the trucks. They talked about passing three ranches. We did, and I dis­ covered they were the only three houses between Broome and Port Hedland. A million acres is nothing to an Australian. The country looks like .West Texas, and is covered thin­ ly with w hat they call gum trees. They’re like eucalyptus in the States. The only sign of life was kangaroos—we’d see half a dozen a day. The little ones are called wal- h t J i v ' U The only sign of life was kanga­ roos. We’d see half a dozen a day. Iabies and the others are big blues. They hunch low and run through the scrubby gum trees. I got tired living out of cans, so I borrowed a gun and shot a big blue, and the Aussies showed m e how to eat it. You throw aw ay all but the tail, which you m ake soup of, and it tastes like thick chicken broth. “Finally I got to Melbourne, where the Air Force was gathering again —and found they had m e down as a deserter, but it w asn’t any trouble getting that explained.” “I got out of Java by boat,” said the Gunner. “They loaded us on a train at Jockstrap and took us to som e town whose nam e I never did learn, w here a Dutch freighter was waiting to take out fifteen hundred of us. They told us we were bound for Perth, a town in Southwest Aus­ tralia—about the sam e location and size as San Diego in the States. Alongside us at the dock was a troopship of Aussies from Singapore. Before that they’d been in Egypt— hadn’t been home for years. Their boat w as bound for Adelaide, way round on the other side of Austra­ lia—sam e location as Miami. But lots of them lived in Perth. When they heard we were going there, they all skipped ship to come aboard with us. We divided our food and lent them our m ess kits. They’d lost everything at Singapore. They probably caught hell for it, but they didn’t give a dam n. “ The first day out we sighted a Jap plane, but it stayed up for a while, watching us. We had stuck m achine guns in the belaying-pin holes, and kept the soldiers hidden below decks so they wouldn’t know we were carrying troops. Our gun­ ners were hidden, too. But when this Jap started down to strafe, one of our gunners gave the show away by opening fire too soon—otherwise we would have got him.' “We zigzagged for five days, and then at Perth were loaded into a troop train for Melbourne. I was in the coach next the engine, and the Australians couldn’t do too much for us. The engineer drew a can of hot w ater from his boiler and m ade us some tea out of his strictly rationed supply, apologizing because it wasn’t stronger. “I guess I was about the last one of us to arrive.” _____ “Not by a couple of weeks you weren’t,” said H arry Schrieber, the navigator, indignantly. “Because w hat about m e?” “We w eren’t worried about you, H arry,” said F rank w ith a grin. “We thought you w ere dead. Way back in the Philippines, w hen-Jack Adams’ plane didn't come back to Del Monte Field from that mission. We had given you up months ago. W hat had you been doing, anyway?” “Trying to get out of the dam ned Philippines,” said H arry. “And I didn’t m anage it'until the day before General M acArthur did—the six­ teenth of M arch I think it was.” “H arry was the last m an to come,” said Frank, “ and now that the gang was together we could start doing business. You see lieutenant General Brett, who had been com­ m anding the United Nations Air Force under British G eneral Wa- vell, who was suprem e comm ander, needed a plane to take him around the w ar zone. His B-24 had been lost a t Broome, rem em ber. Colo­ nel Eubank recom mended m e to General B rett as his personal pilot and senior air aide, and I selected the crew. Of course when it cam e to picking the plane itself, the Gen­ eral ordered a D, because all the E ’s with tail guns were needed for com bat and he wanted those planes saved for the boys who would be going out on missions. “ But when it cam e to which D we would pick, it had to be the Swoose, because there was no other left. Ev­ ery plane, even of the sam e model, handles a little differently. I’d flown our D’s out from the States, through the Philippines and Java, and I’ve always felt the old Swoose was just a few m iles faster and answered the controls a little m ore smoothly than the others. “So now, as pilot and crew of the commanding Air Force General’s plane, we in the Swoose w ere mak­ ing weekly trips into the w ar zone from H eadquarters far down in Mel­ bourne, up to Darwin and P ort Moresby, which were then far-flung outposts on the battle line. The Gen­ eral would average sixty hours a month in the air—thirty of them at least in this com bat zone. To get him in and out of it, the Swoose often hit ISO air hours per month. “At Moresby it was never safe to leave the Swoose on the ground by day. We’d sneak in at night, leave the General, and be off back to Townsville by dawn, coming in to pick him up again the next night. Sometimes the General would just have tim e to scram ble aboard while we cleared the field as the alarm sounded. He was bound he wouldn’t lose the Swoose. “ We now began to get a peek out over .the top at the broad picture of this F ar E astern w ar. There were differences over strategy, but it was never Australians versus Ameri­ cans. The cleavage was ground- m inded versus air-m inded thinking. The A ustralian air generals saw eye to eye with our Am erican air lead­ ers. Likewise the infantry gener­ als of both arm ies thought alike. “And there was m uch to the in­ fantry side of the argum ent. After Java fell, Australian civilians were panicky. Thousands of Australian boys had gone out to die in Africa and Singapore. Now the danger had suddenly rolled down on the Home­ lands. “Not in New Guinea, or Tulagi, or Guadalcanal, or even in Darwin, which, although on their own conti­ nent, is to the average Australian as rem ote as the Aleutians seem to New Yorkers. They think of Dar­ win as a tiny outpost separated from them by thousands of m iles of im­ passable desert. They wanted the soldiers near the great cities of Syd­ ney and Melbourne, where they could hear the m arching and the m ilitary bands. “This was also sound infantry strategy. The only populous parts of Australia are down in this southeast corner. We didn’t yet have m any battalions, supply problems were enormous, so our infantry generals agreed with theirs and with their civil leaders. They wanted to keep the arm y near valuable objectives, not scatter it out across seas and jungle islands, where supply prob­ lem s would become formidable. “But we of the Air Forces (both Australian and American) felt that to defend this continent we m ust build our fighter, fields not in Aus­ tralia itself, but on the outlying is­ lands. Having these, with a few ground troops to hold our airdrom es against Jap landing parties, no fleet would dare venture through our air screen to threaten the continent it­ self. “We’d defended Java by pound­ ing the Japs from Borneo. The Japs had not dared send their transports and landing barges through until they’d taken our advance bases and held air control over the Java Sea. “The Australian Air Force was as anxious to move into this outlying island chain as we were. E arly in April they’d wanted to seize Lae on New Guinea, before the Japs had had tim e to dig in on its north coast. At that tim e the Japs had only about four hundred m en in the area, and it would have been easy. “But we lacked the men and the ships—the Japs pressed on and pres­ ently took Tulagi in the Solomons, threatening our supply lines home.

POWER THROUGH SELF-DISCI* PLINE (TEMPERANCE LESSON) LESSON TEXT—Proverb® 1:7*10; Jere­ m iah 35:5*10; I Corinthians 9:24*27; I Thes* salonlans 5:22. GOLDEN TEXT—And every m an that strlveth for the m astery Is tem perate in all things.—I Corinthians 9:25. Discipline — that word doesn’t sound exactly attractive, does it? It m akes us think of punishm ent for wrongdoing, when in reality it is a very helpful word which m eans teaching. Disciples learn, and thus are disciplined, so that life becomes safer, sim pler, and m ore efficient. When the M orro Castle caught fife, there was tim e for everyone to escape, but 134 out of the 500 on board perished because they fought each other. When the President Coolidge sank in the South Seas 4,500 soldiers escaped alive. W hat m ade the difference? Discipline, that’s all, but it was enough. There are m any kinds of disci­ pline, and all have their im portant place in preparing m en to live well ordered and useful lives. The dis­ ciplined life has power to m eet trials and tem ptations. We find in our les­ son three kinds of discipline: I. Home Discipline (Prov. 1:7-10). The training received by the child early in life from its parents is of the utm ost im portance in form ing character. Children should learn the true standards of life, and be held to obedience to them if they are later to walk in the right way. It is here that they m ost effec­ tively learn the danger of the use of intoxicants and the im portance of keeping their bodies clean and strong for the service of God and country. Some parents (possibly m isled by attractive, but false theories of edu­ cation) think that the correction or punishm ent of a child is not to be perm itted. They assum e th at they are being kind to a child by not limiting his development, or trying to direct it. These are the people who “curse their children with kind­ ness,” which is in fact the greatest of unkindness. Only a fool (v. 7) will despise the instruction of his parents, and only a fool of a parent will fail to give that training which is like “ an orna­ m ent of grace” (v. 9) in the life of the young m an or woman. But the discipline of the home needs the support of II. Social Discipline (Jer. 35:5-10). The social order, which concerns our relation to our fellow men, dis­ ciplines each of us. It m akes m any and what som etim es seem burden­ some dem ands of us in order that we, as well as those around us, m ay have the privilege of living ordered and useful lives. Wise is the m an or woman who draws from his fellowship with oth­ ers that helpful training which gives him stability and grace. The Rechabites had m ade a vow that they would not drink intoxi­ cants, and as a tribe they stood by that vow even when tested by Jere­ m iah. (Note that we say tested, not tem pted. He knew they would stand.) Fine fam ily traditions have great value in guiding and controlling young people. We should, like the good m an Jonadab (v. 6), establish a tradition of abstinence from in­ toxicants which will m ake all of our descendants say, “No one in our family ever drinks.” The training of home and of society has one great goal and that is m . Self-Discipline (I Cor. 9:24-27; I Thess. 5:22). In the life of every one of us there should be that determ ined purpose that life shall not be lived in care­ less disorder, or be perm itted to run out at loose ends. We are all running a race (v. 24), and it is for us so to run that we m ay achieve success. We cannot run with uncertainty (v. 26), we m ust know where we are going. We are fighting a fight, and at tim es it is a desperate, life-and- death struggle. We m ust not beat the air (v. 26), but strike home the telling blows which will bring vic­ tory over our enem ies, the world, the flesh, and the devil. To do this calls for training and self-discipline. It m eans bringing the body and its dem ands into sub­ jection. The m an who runs in a race does not destroy his chances for victory by using intoxicants, or other detrim ental things. Surely we who run the race for Christ m ust be even m ore determ ined that self shall be disciplined for God’s glory. The standard for the conduct of the Christian is higher than is com­ monly supposed, for he withdraws himself from “every form of evil.” The disciplined believer knows that sin is sin—that what looks com­ paratively innocent often w ears a false face covering real wickedness, or it is the first step on a downward path. To sta rt on that way is to in­ vite disaster. A striking exam ple oi this is the social drink—the fashion­ able cocktail—the friendly glass. Abstain is the word—“abstain from every form of evil.” W5ClTOMAK ) A BR IEF sun-suit or tiny dress is m ade twice as gay by m eans of a bright cherry spray ap­ plique.

LET'S BUV 5TH. WAR LOAN BONDS TO BOMB THE ENEMY AND GIVE BALM TO OUR FIGHTING MEN? Te the People of this Community There are many urgent reasons for buying War Bonds. First, the invasion needs money. Bonds pay for planes and guns and munitions with which to beat the Axis. Our fighting m en must have the best possible equip­ ment and it is up to us to let our money pro­ vide this.A second reason is this: There is a shortage of goods now. Later on there will be plenty for civilian de­ sires. Money put into War Bonds now will be available then. Busi­ ness opportunities will be open then, too, and the "nest egg” saved now may hatch out commercially then. Money put into War Bonds now will be deprived of its current po­ tentiality as a part of the causes of inflation. You will be doing your part toward stabilizing the money situation, by buying Bonds instead of dwindlina sto cks. That is a third reason. 'SSSi's- But the best reason from a selfish viewpoint is this: Right now there is no better investment than War Bonds. There is no safer repository for your money. By buying Bonds you become a stockholder in the strongest "going” concern in the world today, the United States of America.

BHse Leila Livingston Morse, granddaughter of Si _____________,___, explains to Miss Dwdred Crider, telegraph employee, the workings of the original instrum ent It was used in re-enacting the sending of the first telegram, "W hat Hath God Wrought!” from the Capitol in Washington to Baltimore. New York (Speclal)-An aircraft de­ signer in New York has just finished an elaborate set of blueprints for a huge new trans-oceanic plane. The blueprints must be at the manufacturing plant In California tomorrow. How can it be done? By telegraph, of course. That is one of the things the com­ munications industry will be prepared to do not many years from now, when the war is over and the latest marvels stemming from an invention just a cen­ tury old will be used to tie the nation together in building a new era of peace­ time prosperity. It was in 1814 that the artist-inventor, Samuel F. B. Morse, sat down at his telegraph key In the Capitol at Wash­ ington and sent the first telegram— “What Hath God Wrought!" The mes­ sage was received In Baltimore forty miles away. The nation is observing this year the centennial of Morse’s invention by spe­ cial Congressional exercises, including a re-enactment of the scene in which the first telegram was sent; by unveil­ ing a plaque in honor of the scientist; by naming a Liberty ship for him and by issuing a telegraph centennial post­ age stamp. Civic, educational, scientific and other organizations are holding spe­ cial gatherings. On the threshold of its second century, the telegraph industry is ready to offer many new devices and services to Amer­ ican business as well as to the Indi­ vidual. Only the war and the need for turning over much of this new equip­ ment to war-time tasks have kept these devices from more general use. The Telefax is one of the latest and most remarkable additions to the tele­ graph family. An electric eye rapidly scans a hand-written message, a picture, a blueprint or a maze of figures and the Telefax transmits it over the wire. "Messages" of this kind arrive at their destinations as facsimiles of the origi­ nals. The service operates simply as well as quickly and with 100 per cent accuracy. Progressive installation of the reper­forator switching system is part of the Western Union Telegraph Company’s long-range modernization program. One development which is helping us with oim war business is carrier cur­ rent. This was discovered a number of years ago and engineers have been con­ stantly improving it With carrier cur­ rent it is possible to send many mes­ sages at one time over a single pair of wires. Today a hundred telegrams may flash over telegraph wires simultaneous­ ly with never a mix-up. Curiously enough, the telegraph has passed through a complete cycle since Morse’s day. The inventor’s first instru­ ments were of a semi-automatic type, but gave way to the hand-operated key until more recent times. Today auto­ matic equipment has virtually replaced the old-time telegrapher. Every year the Morse telegraph key is used less and less. Most messages in telegraph offices are written on machines known as tele­ printers which have keyboards like typewriters. The printed telegrams you receive are from a teleprinter. Thousands of business firms, war plants and military centers throughout the country have their own teleprinters. With them, the offices can communicate with telegraph offices or with branch offices, suppliers and clients in distant cities. The Cow wfth a Complacent Ego THiRtSA WAR ON, MRS.

Noble Head, Dept, of Agricultural Economics University of Florida CkARMERS of this Nation are 1 perform ing a m agnificent job of essential food production during the present em ergency, in spite of their great handicaps in obtaining the necessary m aterials, equip­ m ent, m achinery, and labor. Due to their determ ination to do a good job and to favorable prices for farm commodities, they are re­ ceiving higher net incomes than during the tw enty-year pre-w ar pe­ riod. The question arises as to the wisest use to m ake of these net incomes th at will hasten the winning of this w ar and at the sam e tim e assist in preventing dangerous inflation during and im­ m ediately following the w ar. F arm ers, like all other workers on the home front, are not satis­ fied with m erely doing well the job that is expected of them . They are eagerly on the alert for other ways they m ay help to bring peace a t the earliest moment. As I see it, the w isest use a farm er could m ake of his current net income would be to: I. Keep the farm in condition to produce to its full capacity. This is extrem ely difficult due to short­ ages of m aterials, equipm ent, m a­ chinery and labor; but it is being done by all good farm ers. Much attention m ust be given to keeping m achinery in good repair and to m aking the m ost efficient use of labor. 2. Avoid new m ortgage indebted­ ness, and reduce present indebted­ ness beyond the original plan, if practicable. M eet all paym ents for borrowed working capital when due. 3. Place every dollar not utilized in m aintaining a healthy farm business into W ar Bonds and plan to hold on to these Bonds until they m ature, or until after the w ar em ergency has passed. This will, be the best known m ethod to help finance the w ar, to help prevent inflation, and a t the sam e tim e to build up the investor’s financial re­ serves for the post-war period. You will note that no mention has been m ade of personal con­ sum ption expenses. These should be kept down to the bare mini­ mum. Our rationing system is a great aid in holding down spending for consum er goods, but every p a-. triotic citizen should think m any tim es before purchasing an arti­ cle that is not an absolute ne­ cessity. If W ar Bonds are pur­ chased first and w ith the determ i­ nation of holding them to m aturi­ ty, it will be surprising that we can do without so m any supposed necessities.U, S.

There is always a joy in doing right. It may not always be easy, and isn’t, but somehow when we do right we feel good over it. As we meet our fellowmen on life’s journey we can look every one straight in the eyes without any shame on our faces; without a guil­ ty conscience that lashes and con­ demns us; without a tremor in our voice, but with t. smile on our face and a sparkle in our eyes, realiz­ ing that we have nothing to be a- shamed of or guilty over. It pays to live upright, clean, godly, man­ ly. womanly before God and man even for the joy, peace and satis faction we get out of it here and now, to say nothing of the glorious reward that awaits us when we ex­ change worlds. Did you ever know of something that went badly wrong in your home, but yon had nothing to do with it? You wasn’t in the least to blame. Gven though you was sorry of the wrong, yet you could look your parents in the face, or your brothers and sisters, or your husband or wife, and then deep down In your heart and soul feel so clean, innocent and clear that you bad a joy that was blessed? Did something ever go wrong In your school, sa/ , for instance, that someone had stolen something, and as the teacher began to inquire as to who did it, yon could feel such a clear conscience that you was al­ most anxfous for him to ask you about ii? Well, there is indeed a oy in doing right. When we live right before God and man we can walk right up to the high sheriff of the county, or the chief of police., or the detective, take him by the hand and say, “ How do you do? How are you getting along? Who is giving you trouble these days? How many poor criminals have you locked in jail since I saw you the last time? Well, goodbye old frieud, and may God bless you.” You can go to every prison cell of the land and ask for admission that you may endeavor to comfort the poor unfortunate inmates who have a guilty conscience and a bur­ dened soul, when you yourself are right with God and mon, and have been law abiding and God-serving. You can meet the godly preacher of the Gospel and feel that you are in touch and communion with the same mighty, holv God that he lovet, serves and worships, and that you are going to the same Heaven he is going to. This is life’s better way. Glory to God. To Wives and Parents of Soldiers If you are sending The Re' cord to your husband or son who i* 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. They used to say that the hand that rocked the cradle ruled the world. If that were trae pop would be an important figure indeed while mom is out working in the war plant. 8 a c 6 M e r f f f a c / ; / Preserving The Party A Democratic party leader from Minnesota, John E Regan, went to the Chicago convention as a De­ mocrat and came away as a Repub­ lican He will work tor Dewey and Bricker, he announces and not for Rooselt and Truman. ‘ My further fight In the State of Minnesota will be to preserve the Democratic party/’ Several phases of the Chicago convention made Mr. Regan sick of stomach. For one thing, his statement says, it was “a staged party ” For another, the Democratic household has become strangely in­ fested. It is “ bloated,” he adds, with communists.’' And in his judgment time Has come to “expose Sidney Hillman, Eorl Browder. David Niles and all of their kind who now have a throt- tlehold upon the party.” Mr. Regan talks plainly and forthrightly. So do many other Democrats who are nauseated with the dominance of factors in the present party who seem to have such a commanding position in its councils. That is true of the Soutn, much more so than in Minnesota. But this doesn't bother the higb. er.ups, the Keilys, Hagues, Han negans and Flynns of the big cities who understand that they can do pretty much as they please in the way of making old line Southern Democrats mad and still hold them in the big.—Charlotte Observer. This is strange reading to come out in the South’s leading Demo, cratic daily. It would lead one to believe that Southern Democrats would vote for the devil if a Demo­ cratic national convention would place his name on the ticket. The Passport Affair The Southern Baptist Conven­ tion has called to the aid and com­ fort the United States Government has given Roman Catholics in their effort to drive Proiestants out of South America. It should be known to all that Roman Catholics do not believe in or practice reli. gious freedom There is no such thing as religious freedom where that church is in power. It is a new thing however for the Govern­ ment of the United States to re pudiate that doctrine. It was never done before tbe present Adminis­ tration began to cater to Rome We are not surprised that President Roosevelt should take such a stand. Any one who has noted the hold that tbe Catholic Church has on him could ..not be surprised. His Ambassador is at the Vatican now. Wbat is surprising is that Secre­ tary Cordell Hull could be intro* duced to depart from his Tennes see upbringing so far as to make it easy for Roman Catholics to get passports South American countries and bard for Protestants.—Charity and Children. EXTRA BONDS Eleanor at Juanaluska We cannot understand how a gtoup of sincere Christian Metbo dist women came to inyite the wife of the Presidant of these United States to come to Lake Tnnaiuska, the great assembly grounds of the Southern Methodists In the moun tains of western North Carolina, and to make an address. Howev­ er, that is just wbat happened We hope Eleanor did not repeat her admonition given In Charlotte to young girls bow to control their drinking “so they will not fall un der the tables.” We also hope she did not explain to our Southern Methodist women her plan to make our negro sisters the social equals of these good women.—Exchange. The Record only $1.00. From A Davie Soldier Camp Barkeley, Tex., July 25. Dear Mr. Stroud:—Guess you are much surprised to hear from me. I have planned for a long time to write you, but since it has been so long I will try to make up some, of the lost time. Since last writing I have lost con­ tact with most of our Davie county boys. That is due mainly to the fact that most of them have been sent overseas. Tell the folks back there not to worry over us fellows for I’ll stick my neck out to say that Davie county has produced some of Uncle Sam.s best soldiers, not to mention our sailors and marines. As you have already guessed I’m still in Texas. My only entertain, ment is shooting at jack rabbits and chasing armadilloes. Before much longer I hope to be shooting at something much larger than either of tbe above mentioned ani­ mals. The people of Texas sure are true to their home state. As for me, I’ll take good old Nortb Carolina and like it. I haven’t lost a thlug In Texas except a lot of time trying to get out ot here. Mr. Stroud, I was wondering if the large memorial beside tbe court bouse bad been finished. It was almost ready for our names when I was liome in May. Please give my regards to the home folks and as this will prob. ably be m> last letter before the war is over, and may I say that I (fxoect to see you soon, mayhe a lot sooner than we expect. This time I plan to change my title from soldier to civilian. Keep your fin' gers crossed for us. Sincerely, S. Sgt. IAS. SWICEGOOD. P S. The Mrs. plans to return soon for a visit. She will make her home with her pareuts while I am away. J. S. Will Support Dewey Mankato, Minn.—John E. Re­ gan, Mankato, former Minnesota Democratic leader, said he will aid the Mirnesota campaign of Gover­ nors Dewey and Bricker, Repnbli can candidates for President and vice president. ‘‘My fight in the stoteof Minne­ sota,” he said, "is tor the purpase of preserving the Democratic par­ ty.” Regan a floorman at the Chi. cago Democratic convention, said the convention was a “staged ]ob” and that tbe Democratic party “is bloated with Communists which it is the duty of every right-minded Eemocrat to remove from control of the party.” “ We shall expose Hillman (Sid­ ney Hillman, chairman of the CIO Political Action committee), Earl Browder, David Niles, and all the other men who have a throttlehold cn tbe present Democrat.c party,” Regan said.

To Make Loanson Farm Woodlands and For­ est Lands The Federal Land Bank of Colum­ bia, has extended its loan facilities Io include loans on farm woodlands and forest lands according to notice received from Julian H. Scarborough President of tbe Bank, by Geo. L Crater, Secretary-Treasarer of the Winston-Salem National Farm Loan Association, which handles Federal Land Bank loans in this county. Tbe new timber loan plan is de signed to serv£ all farmers who have timber land in excess of normsl farm ueeds aud are following sound for­ estry practices as well as those en­ gaged in the growing uf timber on a large scaie. “It is now generally recognized that farm woodlands con. stitute a substantial part of the val­ ue of farms in the South and the recognition of this value for loan purposes will enable the Bank to ex­ tend its long-term credit facilities to more farmers,” Mr. Scarborongh said. Loans on foreBt lands will be bas­ ed on the expected normal earnings of the tract nnder the management of a typical operator following sound forestry practices. Normai valuos and not current market values of growing and marketable timber will be used in determining loan values. A cruise of the timber will be re­ quired by a timber appraiser where all or a substantial part of the loan is based on timber land. Loans will be made on both marketable pine and hardwood timber and selective cutting will be permitted under stnndard forestry practices. The loan repayment plan will be made to fit the individual operator and loans will usually run from 10 to 40 years. Partial or full repayment will be permitted at any time. “The Federal Land Bank of Co Iumbia is pioneering in tbe making of loans on timber lands just as it pioneered in tbe making of long­ term farm mortgage loans at low interest rates more than 25 years ago. We are glad to be able to of' fet a long-term, low interest rate loan on farm woodlands in North Carolsna, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, which constitute one of the greatest assets of the South. The Bank’s timber loan program has been worked out with the full co­ operation and assistance of the Uni­ ted States and the State Forest Ser­ vices,” Mr. Scarborough stated. '‘Appiicasi.-ns for loans on farm woodlands and forest lands may be made at the office of the Winston* Salem National Farm Loan Associa tion and will be handled just as ap­ plications for regular farm loana are handled,” .Secretary-Treasurer Geo L. Crater said. The Association of­ fice is located in the Wachovia Bank Building, Trade Street Branch; at Winston-Salem, N. C.. and further information can be obtained by wti- ing or calling there. Not Amphibious “The New Deal came to power with a song on its lips: ‘Happy Davs Are Here Again,’ Thatsong nas ended. Even the melody does not linger on. Now we are being conditioned for anew song: 'Don’t Change Horses io tbe Middle of a Stream.’ That melody isn't likely to linger either. For eleven long years we have been in the middle of tbe stream. We are not ampbl bious. We want to get across. We want to feel dry and solid ground under our feet again.— Governor Earl Warren, California.

Roosevelt, The True Soldier, Dies There has been one sincere and true soldier in the Uoosevelt family since the days of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, the dynamistic President of a few years back. That was Bri­ gadier General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., a fighting and honorable son of a fighting and honorable father. These men will carry the banner a- loft for the Roosevelt family and their names will be recorded in his­ tory as true patriots. They died the death of a TRUE SOLDEIR. So far removed from the philoso­ phy of the man in the White House who wants to be "a good soldier’’ just to serve another four years in office. General Theodore Roosevelt did his fighting and his dying on tbe field of battle. Politics played no part in his death which came as a shock to all Americans. He went in the uniform of Uncle Sam to where men are proving their title of "a good soldier”—on the battlefield and field and today his body lies wrap- pe I in Old Glory in the soil of France on whieh which he fought two wars against German aggression and the things his kinsman in the White House stands for, bureaucracy and destruction of tbe rights and liber­ ties of the people. General Theodore Roosevelt bad in his veins the blood of a figbtoing father who won fame as organizer and commander of tiie Rough Riders who battled that spanish tyranny mighty end. That’s the side of the Roosevelt family tbat America should bow its head and pay homage to. They gave their all that freedom might live. General “Teddy” was not satisfied to give up his brother, Quentin, in that other war against Germany. He gave his own life. And when the high ranking generals of the American Army in France lowered General “Teddy” into tbe grave there stood like a statue his own sone, Captain Quentin Roose­ velt, a captain in “Teddy’s" favorite division—the “ Fighting First.” The general’s heart would have been gladdened could he have known of the presence at bis funerai of sev­ eral hundred rankless doughboys and scores of patriotic French resistance leaders and their families who show­ ered the coffin with the roses of Normandy. Another "Ttddv” has come on and passed off the stage of life and they, like all others on that side of the Roosevelt family, will make Ameri­ can history glorious an d future school children will study in their books how “Teddy” and bis own rose to heights of glory because they gave their all for their country never seeking to perpetuete themselves be­ cause of theis deeds.— Union Repub­ lican. THE DAVTE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE, N. C. Adequate Water for Stock Is Essential Improvement Seen As Production Aid FuJl utilization of grazing areas, with an attendant production of m are and better m eat and dairy products requires adequate w ater 5br Kvestock on range and pasture. 2S» m atter how palatable and plenti­ ful the forage, if sufficient w ater at scgular intervals is not available, Bvestock will not reach a good !marketable condition. Development of enough wells and springs and ponds to supply the accessary w ater is not the only re­ quirement, WlfA points out. Proper dBtribution of the w ater in relation ■8» available forage is essential to efficient grazing as full utilization samwt be realized if an adequate 3JU$ly is not accessible to livestock any part of the pasture or range acreage. Stock-wafer developments are im­ portant on farm pastures in humid areas as well as on the ranges in aaai-arid and arid states, according to government authorities. While She greatest need is in the latter areas, inadequate facilities prevent the fullest use of good pasture on m any farm s because the owner is aol aw are that a lack is possible in A r m ore humid section where he is iaising stock. Also, he m ay not xealize how influential stock-water ap p lies can be in improving the qnality and quantity of range and posture feed. In m any states, farm ers m ay re­ ceive assistance In carrying out atoek-water developments under !He conservation program adminis­ tered by the agricultural adjust- m a t agency. Conservation of soil and w ater are aided indirectly by development of accessary pasture and range water- Smg facilities. With proper develop­ m ent and distribution of w ater sup­ plies, grazing can be restricted on overgrazed, eroded or depleted sangeland and the stock rotated aver other areas in keeping with tte ir grazing capacity. Adequate m ater supplies on farm pastures, Bftde encouraging m ore uniform grazing, will also aid pasture im­ provem ent practices, and decrease D unage from erosion. W ater facilities are, roughly, of Sav kinds—natural and constructed. !Springs, stream s and lakes are in A e first group. The second requires drilling, excavation or other corn struction work to m ake w ater avail­ able, and includes wells, artificial reservoirs and ponds, ditches, and iboughs and storage tanks attached to springs and reservoirs. .Fertilizer Increase Half Million Tons American farm ers this year will ase well over 11,000,000 tons of com­ m ercial fertilizer—a new all-tim e ligh. That’s half a million tons m ere than were used in 1943 and 3,000,000 tons m ore than in 1940. Adjustments in analysis of com­ plete fertilizers to be sold in differ­ ent states have been m ade to insure the best possible use of the avail­ able m aterials supplying nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash. The nitrogen content of m any of the available grades has been increased amnewhat, indicated supplies of this Smportant plant food being about 35 p a cent greater than last year. While some fertilizer ingredients are available in somewhat larger amounts this year than last, all of tShem, including such im portant nitrogen-carrying m aterials as am ­ monium sulfate, sodium nitrate, am­ monium nitrate, and fertilizer com­ pounds, are still on allocation by the W ar Production board. Large Worm Loss Experts say the average wormy 3Sg. if it lives, requires one-fifth m ore feed to reach the sam e weight a s an uninfested one. Since about half of the pigs in the United States are said to be infested, elimination of internal parasites would save great quantities of feed. It would save m any hogs, veterinarians esti­ m ating that worms kill one pig in tea. By wide experim ents and use, phenothlazine has proved to be the aoty drug that will control nodular worms. It also controls roundworms or Ascarids as effectively as other commonly used anthelm intics. Thenothiazine is usually given with dry feed m ixtures to hogs confined hi a pen, although individual doses eS pellets, tabs or as a drench with a syringe are also used. The drug A ould be given according to printed directions or under the supervision of a veterinarian. !Retail P urchases U p TIltHCT ' OS.

TELEPHONE B!ntered atthe Poatofiice in Mocks- vllle, N. C.. as Second-clasp Mail m atter. March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: NE YEAR. IN ADVANCE IX MONTHS IN ADVANCE $1$ SO In a speech just before the elec­ tion four years ago, Mr. Roosevelt declared that at the end of the four years this country would have new President. We think he told the truth, whether he realized it or not. Sfr. Roosevelt promised t h e mothers four years ago that if he was elected their sons would not set foot upon foreign soil. Wonder what these mothers whose so have been killed on foreign soil, are thinking these days? Senator Guffey, New Dealer, of Pennsylvania, says that Thomas Dewey will not carry a state in the November election. If there is a bigger liar in the United States than this New Dealer we would like co take a look at hitu. Mrs. James Farley is one of countless thousands of Democrats who will not vote for Roosevelt next November. What this coun­ try wants is a President who is will ing to retire at the end of the se­ cond term and not try to hold of fice for life. It is going to take a lotof money and a big bunch of crooked elec tion officers to defeat Tom Dewey for President next November. From present indications it seems that this Government is going to be run by the people for the next four years instead of by a few dictators. George Washington made a wise remark some hundred and fifty years ago when he said, “when the people support the Government the country Is in good shape, but when the Government has to support the people, the country is in bad shape,” or words to that effect. According to most of the politi­ cal polls we have seen, it seems that Tom Dewey is going to defeat Roosevelt by as big a majority as Roosevelt defeated Willkie in 1940. Franklin seems to have reached the Zenith of bis glory is now facing defeat at the polls in November. Madame Eleanor spent a day or two in Western Carolina recently. After returning home she wrote several articles about where she went and what she saw. In writ­ ing of Waynesville she writes it Waynesboro.

Let's Face Facts Hot Controversy Rages Over Food Distribution For Liberated Peoples By BARROW LYONS WNO Staff Correspondent 1 — Barrow Lyons WASHINGTON, D. C.— Some pretty w arm discussions about whether citizens of liberated territories should be rationed on. 2,000 calories of food a day, or 2,600 calories have been going on in Washington behind closed doors. The difference is 30 per cent, and when tneasured in total dollars, tons or available shipping space, this m ay be the difference between what is possible and what is impossible of accomplishment. The arm y is the only agency in a position to distribute food in liberat­ ed territories dur- in g th e early weeks of occu­ pancy. It is pre­ pared to preserve civil order and health. ;Until or­ der is restored sufficiently to per­ m it other agen­ cies of our gov­ ernm ent to func­ tion, the arm y m ust assum e re­ sponsibility. In approaching the nutrition prob­ lem the arm y consulted civilian au­ thorities as to how much food—how lnany calories of a balanced diet— would provide a minim um for health. In the early stages of libera­ tion the arm y does not feel that it can undertake to provide m ore than a minimum. The effort to beat ene­ my forces m ust take precedence over- everything else, and at tim es battle requirem ents absorb all trans­ portation the arm y can command. W hat is more, we have found food distribution facilities badly disrupt­ ed in many areas. In some sections of Italy virtually all shopkeepers, who were Fascists, have dis­ appeared, and untrained persons had to be found to handle distribution of food and supplies. Some Difficult Problems Nor have experienced distributors always proved trustworthy. Food entrusted to wholesalers by civilian agencies has not always found its way into norm al channels of distri­ bution. In India and North Africa, much of the grain and flour sent in was withheld from distribution by wholesalers who profited by the hun­ ger of starving peoples, until their practices were discovered and end­ ed. So the arm y is not undertaking to deliver more than a m inimum diet to the people of France, Italy and other liberated territories. If civil­ ian agencies, when given access, can supplement this, they will be wel­ comed. In determ ining what constituted a minimum essential diet for the m aintenance of health the arm y shared responsibility with civilian agencies—state departm ent, foreign economic adm inistration and de­ partm ent of agriculture. UNRRA was not invited to participate in the discussions. An interdepartm ental committee, including arm y experts, decided that 2,000 calories a day, with some exceptions, was the mini­ m um for m aintenance of health. Now, however, FEA nutrition ex­ perts disagree. They feel that we should undertake to provide more than 2,000 calories a day—at least 2,600 calories. It is pointed out by them that the average American gets from 3,000 to 3,200 calories a day. The arm y does not object to peo­ ple in liberated territories getting all the food possible, if it does not in­ terfere with transportation of sol­ diers and supplies to the fighting fronts—but arm y officials do not wish to see the development of heavy civilian traffic until the Ger­ m ans are beaten. It has become evident that slow victory would m ean willful destruction by the Nazis in subject countries of mil­ lions of people. If we are to save their lives we m ust use available resources to the limit. Belgium to Help After the Germans are beaten all concerned hope to do much better for liberated peoples. For instance, the Belgian government in exile plans to purchase food for its own people. It has the money and skele­ ton organization. It will approach undernourishment as an illness. The "sick people” of Belgium are to be fed back to health as rapidly as pos­ sible so that they can assum e quick­ ly their norm al functions. Our own authorities would ap­ proach the problem of feeding simi­ larly. One of the first tasks of the surgeon general’s office will be to m ake surveys to determ ine exactly what are the food deficiencies of lib­ erated territories, and then see that the right kinds of food are dis­ tributed. • * * It should be noted that the 2,000 calories, which has been set as the nutrition goal, is the basic allow­ ance for the average adult. E xtra allowances are provided for those performing heavy labor. In this connection Dr. M ark A. G raubard1 in charge of labor edu­ cation for the Nutrition Program branch, departm ent of agriculture, points out that the average German worker today gets around 2,100 calo­ ries, as Compared-^ith 5,500 calo­ ries for an Americari 'lumberman and 4,5QG for a truck driver.

Eisenhower, supreme Allied commander, is shown in center of circle as he addressed men of the First division in Normandy. The general made a special trip to France to decorate 24 men for valour in the field. Despite his many duties he usually finds time to personally inspect all troops under his command and to listen to their problems. His popularity at the front has proven as great as on the homefront. Hundreds of American homes have received letters from General Eisenhower telling of good work done by their GI Joes. Yanks Shell Retreating Nazis i As one American soldier pulls the lanyard of a howitzer, two others hold ears and turn away from the roar as they shell retreating German .troops near Carentan.

Honus Wagner PEMQNG <3 ^ inraMPQRTSl Released by W estern Newspaper Union. ALTHOUGH night baseball has been the m ost im portant factor in keeping the gam e alive during wartim e, there are still a few un­ believers in the m ajor league cir­ cuits. E d Barrow, president of the New York Yankees, has little enthusiasm for the vesper version. According to columnist Dan Parker, he cooled off on the proposition alm ost a half cen­ tury ago when his Paterson, N. J., club of the Atlantic league, starring one Honus W agner, took part in the first professional ball gam e under arc lights at Wilmington, Del. It was back in 1896, about the first of July. And, according to Parker, “In the flickering blue light of car- bon-stick arc lamps, the first night game in organized baseball ran into trouble soon after it got under way when the rival pitcher, steamed np by Barrow to play a practical joke on Wagner, substituted a Fourth of July torpedo for the ball the first time bow-legged Honus came up- to bat. “Honus took a toehold for his cut and m et the paper-covered bag of gunpowder flush on the detonator, caus­ ing such an ex­ plosion that t h e gam e broke up in a riot. Ed thought night baseball was a snare and a de­ lusion then and he still sticks to his belief, although he wavered a bit this spring when t h e Yanks slumped both in attendance and in the ieague standing. He said: Change of Heart “ ‘Under certain conditions, I wouldn’t be too opposed to night baseball. But what good would it do me to change my mind this year when we couldn’t install equip­ ment for night games even if we wanted to?’ ” It wasn’t so long ago that Clark Griffith was a determ ined opponent of the night gam e. But the situation has changed. Mr. Griffith is one of the m ost radical advocates of the electrically-lighted sport. There’s a good reason for Grif­ fith’s change of heart. Washington is glutted with federal employes who couldn’t take tim e off for an after­ noon game. They did want baseball, but had to have it in the cool of the evening. Logic—qnd business acu­ m en-dictated the answ er to Grif­ fith. Washington now is the night baseball center of the m ajor leagues. Griffith has permission to play as m any night gam es as he de­ sires, except on Sundays or holi­ days. Many changes have come to pass during the past 12 years. Of the IS major league clubs, all but 5 have facilities for night baseball. Those 5 fields remaining in the dark are Fenway park and Braves field in Boston, WrigIey field in Chicago, Briggs stadium in De­ troit and the Yankee stadium in New York. These parks couldn’t in­ stall the powerful batteries of lights on their steel towers now if they wanted to, because, even though the ban on such construction was lifted sot long ago, the material required isn’t likely to be available until aft er the war. The Evidence Not that General Electric will go into rhapsodies, but we’re in favor of night ball. Joe Doakes, the boy who helps turn out m aterials for war, deserves a break. He probably likes baseball. But he can’t knock off the job Thursday afternoon to see the Yanks and White Sox battle. Night baseball provides the answer. Joe can see the gam e. He is happy. And Joe, multiplied a few hundred thousand tim es, m akes the baseball club treasurer happy. The case of the Southern associ­ ation is proof of the value of the night game. This fine organization practically owes its existence to Mr. Edison’s incandescent lamp. All games except those on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays are played at night in Billy Evans’ circuit. Evans wasn’t wild about night baseball when he resigned from the Boston Red Sox and took over the presidency of the association. It didn’t take him long to find out that the lights m ade the difference be­ tween black and red in the ledger. Association cities which form erly at­ tracted 300 on week days now draw 3,000 in the hush of the evening. The preponderance of evidence favors night ball. The situation is likely to continue.

Eight of bis men were killed while fleeing tor shel­ ter, and Old 99. with m any other Forts, was demolished on the ground. After escaping to Australia, what Is left of ilielr squadron flies to Java, where they go on many m issions over the Philip, pines, and finally defend Java Itself. Java falls to the Japs and the U. s . fliers evacuate to AustraUa to carry on the war from m ere. They land on Broome field, which Is wrecked by Japs shortly after, hut escape to Melbourne. Kurtz becomes pilot of “The Swoose,'* the air force general's plane. QJJEENS d ie PROUDLY CHAPTER XXI “In Australia, the Air Force had Io build from the ground up. Be­ fore General M acArthur arrived from the Philippines we had located and were building our advance and supply bases all over North Austra­ lia Irom Darwin to Townsville. American engineers were pouring in, and General Brett put them to work. We were also improving Moresby, our problem child, and the Par Force staff had laid down its strategical plan for clearing Austra­ lia's northeast shoulder of the threat ;>i Jap air power so that when we bad the necessary m en and equip­ ment, we could head back into the Philippines. “The old 19 th Bom bardm ent Group was back in business now in North Australia, and beginning in April of that year we w ere pound­ ing the Jap base at Rabaul in New Britain several tim es a week. “Meanwhile the Philippines were tottering. Bataan had fallen; Cor- regidor seemed about to go; and we were working feverishly to rescue desperately needed Air Force per­ sonnel from Del Monte Field on Min­ danao. Al Mueller, who was now flying a transport, told m e of his last trip in. He said the place looked so shaky he was scared even to be looking that way now. It was a sev­ enteen - hundred - m ile flight, and there was a chance that there m ight not be enough gas left at Del Monte to get him back to A ustralia. But the pilots, navigators, and ground crews still on Mindanao w ere worth their weight in gold to us, so Al start­ ed out. “He got right over Del Monte Field. Things looked quiet on the ground, and he was circling, wait­ ing for the signal to come on in, which for some reason seem ed de­ layed. Circling, Al couldn’t under­ stand this until from A ustralia, sev­ enteen hundred m iles aw ay, crack­ les a radio m essage telling him un­ der no circum stances to land. Cor- regidor and M indanao had surren­ dered to the Japanese while he had been en route. “There he was, eight hours from home base and with only a few hours’ gas left. But luckily he’d pro­ vided against this before he left. He'd told the Navy that if the Philip­ pines caved while he was in the air and he couldn’t refuel a t Mindanao, he’d beach his plane on a little jun­ gle island, and he showed it to them on the map, so they could pick him up if they could get through. “Now he headed for this island, looked its beach over, and set her down in the surf. The rocks in a few seconds m ade junk of his big four-motored Liberator. "Then, according to Al, the days seemed like years, although only five of them passed before a sub­ marine periscope popped up in the cove and carefully scanned the hori­ zon for Jap planes before the craft surfaced to take him and his crew aboard. “During M arch the hot spot was Darwin, which the Aussies called the Coventry of A ustralia because the Japanese had come over on Feb­ ruary nineteenth and not only flat­ tened its little town of four thousand but on the airfield wiped out an American fighter group en route to the Java war. “At that tim e it was only a little Australian field with alm ost no anti­ aircraft. The RAAF boys were good lads, trying hard but getting no­ where, lacking both training and equipment. “The Am erican fighter group perched on that field, which ‘Slug­ ger’ Pell was leading toward Java, had no warning until they heard the sound of the Jap m otors. Slugger wanted to save his planes if he could, so instead of diving for the foxholes (the Japs were already strafing) he tried desperately to get his boys off. “Slugger was shot down at 50 feet while his landing gear was still re­ tracting, and before he’d had tim e to drop his belly tank. He tried to ball out, but of course he was too low. A previous squadron had ac­ tually m anaged to get into the air, but Slugger’s were all either shot down on the take-off or killed in their cockpits before they cleared the run­ way, or else strafed and set afire while they were taxiing into posi­ tion. It had been a field day for the Zeros. “Word now cam e through that a force of ten Jap bombers and three fighters was on its way to Darwin. It was w hat Squeeze had been wait­ ing for. He hit them far out at sea. Squeeze has a clever tactical idea which I shouldn’t describe in detail: But as the Japs approached their target, our patrols pulled the W.kl.U-PEATUftES rest of the Am erican fighter strength on Uie ground. While one of our nights chased off the accompanying ^-S’ ^ le res* the boys were i1'™ ? Jap bombers, which were sliding out of form ation and going down trailing smoke. They all had to turn off before reaching the tar­ get, dump their bombs in the sea, and head back for their base at Ku­ pang on Tim or Island—one of the steppingstones to Java they’d taken away from us. But Squeeze and his gang followed them out to sea, and shot down every one of the ten bombers. Our boys returned with­ out a m an wounded or a plane scratched. “ ‘You know,’ said Squeeze, ‘if we don't look out, we’re going to m ake the air a safe place for Am ericans!’ “And after all those months of defeat, we w ere alm ost afraid to believe it. But two days later the Japs cam e back from Kupang with a real force—thirty-three bombers protected by eleven fighters. Again we w ere ready. It was a beautiful day, the sky clear as a bell, and again Squeeze tore into the whole Jap V formation far at sea. He at­ tacked in elem ents, and each time he hit, another Mitsubishi would go spinning down in smoke, or else would sag below the V with engine trouble, lagging so that the next Am erican elem ent could pick him off. We found Jap bombers are light­ ly constructed, and can’t soak up m uch punishm ent from our heavy .50-caliber' guns—can’t take the pounding our Forts can. Meanwhile the second Am erican flight was tak­ ing care of the eleven escorting Zeros. The boys had paired off The sub surfaced to take him and his crew aboard. and were whirling over and over in their squirrel cages, a Jap and an American to each cage, while the first flight kept up the heavy cleaver work—chopping into that bom ber V from behind, or some­ tim es going out ahead of it to turn and come in for a bust on its nose. They were forcing it lower—when they’d .peel off and come in for a pass, it was fun watching both mo­ tors light up. “A good m any Jap bombers got over the target, but you couldn’t call it a bomb run. Most of their bombs went wild, as always hap­ pens in a disrupted attack, and m any others salvoed their bombs in the desert so they could run away. But those which did get over Dar­ win ran into Bofors ack-ack fire. The battery was operated by an old Crete gang of Aussies—the tough­ est hombres in the business—and the American P-40’s had pushed the Jap bombers so low that the ack-ack could really rip into them . They were between that cleaver in the air and a buzz saw on the ground. Two or three Jap bombers dribbled right down onto the field, whole wings shot off or else blown into con­ fetti. The Japs tried to use their chutes from the burning bombers— which should explode the fairy tale that Japs are too fanatical to use chutes—yet even they caught fire. “Most of the first Jap bomber flight got over Darwin, but only part of the second, while the third jetti­ soned its bombs and raq like hell for Kupang. “You see the estim ated range of a Zero using belly tanks is about twelve hundred miles. It’s five hun­ dred and ten miles from Kupang to Darwin, and to go and return is a thousand and twenty miles. That leaves a tiny safety m argin that is m ore than used up if the Zero has to do any fighting en route. “ Also by first hitting the Japs far out at sea, Squeeze forced them to drop their belly tanks—they can’t fight while carrying them—and be­ gin using their precious wing-tank gas long before they got to the tar­ get. ---------- . .. “AU through the Australian w ar our fighters m ust have knocked off hundreds of Zeros which- we’ve nev­ er claimed. We fight them until their gas is alm ost gone, and when they finally break away and start for -home, they slide quietly into the sea with diy tanks. “ Those fighters at Darwin are a great gang of kids, and they’ve in­ vented their own service uniform, which m ight not pass parade inspec­ tion back here. It consists of a long duck-billed hunter’s cap, usu­ ally red, plus a pair of white cotton shorts and nothing much else. They don’t like clothes because of the fire hazard—cloth soaks up spurting gasoline, which will drop off naked flesh. They won’t wear ordinary shoes. This started when one of them had to bail out in the desert back of Darwin and when his chute cracked open, the jerk flipped his shoes off. He had to walk barefoot for days over the Australian desert. Now they w ear tennis shoes or cow­ boy boots, which won’t flip off. This costume includes a belt, to which is attached a jungle kit on one side and a .45 on the other. The .45 they keep covered with cellophane candy-bar wrappers so it won’t rust. They look m ore like pirates than pilots, and so did the ones at Mores­ by. “When General Brett put Buzz in charge of the Moresby-Townsville fighters, he didn’t issue an order for Buzz to stay on the ground at his desk in Pursuit Interceptor Com­ m and H eadquarters a t Townsville, but in a nice way he unofficially re­ quested it. “ But Buzz was itching at the pa­ per work. He was a fighter, not a desk m an. And at Moresby he had new youngsters just in from the States. Their m orale was low. They’d been having an awful tim e with the weather, and also the Japs had been coming in and shooting up the place, catching these kids in the air and picking off too m any. They needed someone to show them how to handle a P-39 Airacobra against the Zero—both planes have their points. “So one day when he’s up ‘inspect­ ing’ Moresby—he spent m ost of his tim e there—without any form ality Buzz steps into a P-39 and leads them . They were all agog. They’ve heard of the G reat W agner, but they aren’t sure the stories of w hat he’d done in the Philippines m ightn’t be a myth. “He led twelve of them out above New Guinea, over the Owen Stanley range, on a mission in the direction of the big Jap base at Lae, from which they were returning over the ocean when they ran into a Japa­ nese trap. “The Japs had a flight of Zeros circling a spot which our boys m ust pass on their homeward leg. Buzz said it was partly his fault for not having told his gang of twelve to refrain from com bat on this home­ ward leg, because they needed all their gas to get back, while the Japs were freshly fueled from a near-by base. “But when the two end men on the flight saw the Japs, they peeled off, and Buzz saw he’d have trouble holding the rest, so he gave the signal over the phones to go on in. Buzz said it was a lovely battle— the whole argum ent rolled thirty miles up the beach and then thirty miles back again, like a big tumble­ weed on the prairie. Buzz shot down three Japs himself, and his wing m en two—a total of five Japs for the day. We gave three planes to get them (one was forced down gasless), but we didn’t lose a pilot on that flight. “ That did the business for those green, scared kids. When they saw Buzz’s gunsights trained on a Zero, watched his .50-caliber chewing it up right in front of them, they real­ ized it could be done, and, more im­ portant, they saw they had a leader —which was all they needed to put them back in business. “That night, sitting with me under the mosquito-netting canopy we’d thrown over the wing of the Swoose, was the first tim e I saw Buzz really worried. Because when General B rett found out about this, what would he say? Buzz was worried that the General would not only re­ quest him to stay on the ground; he’d m ake it an order in writing, and then the fun would be over. “Buzz was twenty-six years old, and he hadn’t gone up just to hang three m ore on his record, but be­ cause he really loved it. But he said in the future he thought rather than risk an order grounding him, he’d stay out of com bat with Zeros and confine his activities to develop­ ing m ast • high bombing attacks against transports. He thought his kids should all be trained to do it, and he’d done a lot himself. You come in low and horizontal in a pur­ suit, and just before you’re on her you release your little wing bomb so that it slaps right against the transport’s side at the w ater line. Then quick you pull up out of the antiaircraft fire. “We talked a lot that night. He had a fast mind, and was doing a lot of sound thinking both on tactics and about our fighters. He said in a way he wanted to get back home for a while. I’d turned down a ticket home once, and he’d turned it down twice, but now he had a reason for returning. (TO BE CONTINUED) .

Lesson for August 13 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council ot Religious Educatloni used by permission. THE PRIEST IN THE LIFE OF ISRAEL LESSON TEXT—I Sam uel 2:27-30. 35; *: 12-18. GOLDEN TEXT—For every high priest taken from am ong m en Is ordained for m en In things pertaining to God.—Hebrews 5:1. Failure to observe God’s law in­ evitably brings disaster. That is true in the fam ily, and in the nation. It follows even though the m an who sins is in a high and favored position in God’s service. . Our lesson which brings before us the work of the priest in Israel also rem inds us of the sacred relationship of father and son. These are im­ portant m atters inviting our careful study. I. A Holy Calling: (2:27, 28). E li was the high priest in Israel, an office ordained of God, and by Him established in the household of Aaron. The priest was to stand be­ tween God and m an, there to seek tiis forgiveness for the sins of the people, and His grace and m ercy upon them . He was to teach them the law of God and to seek for them divine guidance. He was subject to special laws, and had great privi­ leges of service. . Such a m an m ust not only be holy him self, but unusually diligent about properly rearing his sons who would follow him in this office, which was by God’s ordinance an hereditary one. H e had to be both a good m inister and a good father. Eli was the form er, but he failed as a father. In the New Testam ent, Christ be­ com es our High P riest (Heb. 7:26; 9:11), and those who m inister for Him are to bring m en to Him—the “one M ediator between God and Idan” (I Tim . 2:5; Heb. 9:15). In this new covenant the m inister has a high and holy calling, but it also is m ade clear that all believers have the liberty to come boldly to the throne of grace (Heb. 4:16); hence they too are called “a holy priest­ hood” (I Pet. 2:5). H . A High Responsibility (2:29, 30, 35). , As already suggested, Eli was evi­ dently a m an of personal piety and integrity in office. We honor him for that, but we regret his failure to properly rear his sons who were to succeed him. It is not enough to m eet one phase of our responsibility before God and then, because of our faithfulness there to seek to justify weakness elsewhere. One som etim es hears the expression, “But he is such a good m an,” as an excuse for failure, but it just will not do. Eli did rem onstrate with his boys, but he waited until it was too late— o t did it in such a way and at such a tim e as to be ineffective. His failure at this point is declared (v. 29) to be a placing of his sons above God in his thinking. W hat a solemn warning to indul­ gent parents! “Not to rule and re­ strain our children, to give them their own way, is to honor them m ore than God. E re we think it, weakness becomes wickedness in ourselves and in our children too.” God has “m ade every parent . . . a king in his home, that he m ay . . . comm and his children in the way of the Lord” (Andrew M urray). God will not perm it such sin and failure to pass unnoticed. He will set aside those who fail Him (v. 30) and bring them into judgm ent. He has others who are willing to serve Him (v. 35). Evidently young Sam­ uel was the one in mind here. It is both significant and encour­ aging to note that in the m idst of the wicked and im m oral surround­ ings created by Eli’s sons, God had the tender vine of His own planting —the life of the boy Samuel, grow­ ing up in the tem ple. He was al­ ready hearing God’s voice and learning to obey the call. III. A Heavy Judgm ent (4:12-18). The Israelites went out to battle against the Philistines. Meeting de­ feat, they thought to gain victory by bringing the ark of the covenant into battle, and who had the effrontery to appear as “priests” with the ark but the wicked sons of Eli. Swift and awful was the judgm ent of God. Not only was there defeat, but the ark was lost to the heathen Philistines, and the two sons of Eli were killed. When Eli heard the news of what had taken place, he too fell and died. H ere was the tragic end of a life that had begun with prom ise, and all because of weakness, failure and sin. •There is a pointed lesson here for us. The people of Israel depended on the ark itself, an outward symbol of godliness, when there was no spiritual life in the heart—and they went down to failure. Will we go through the motions of religious ex­ ercises, talk easily of prayer, appoint men who please our itching ears (II Tim.' 4:3) to preach to us, and then go on our careless, worldly, indifferent way, supposing that our form al religion will save us? Paul tells us in II Timothy 3:1-5 that “hav­ ing a form of godliness but denying the power thereof” is a sign of the 'last days,” of “perilous tim es” which have come upon us. May God save us!

Frank Marlinek DON WINSIOW SAYS. lET'S BUY STH w ar LOAN BONDS TO BOMB THE ENEMY. AND GIVE BALM TO OUR FIGHTING MEN fe w Te the People of this Community There are many urgent reasons for buying War Bonds. First, the invasion needs money. Bonds pay for planes and guns and munitions ._____________. with which to beat the Axis. Our fighting m en must have the best possible equip­ ment and it is up to us to let our money pro­ vide this. A second reason is this: There is a shortage of goods now. Later on there will be plenty for civilian de­sires. Money put into War Bonds now will be available then. Busi­ ness opportunities will be open then, too, and the "nest egg” saved now may hatch out commercially then.Money put into War Bonds now will be deprived of its current po­ tentiality as a part of the causes of inflation. You will be doing your part toward stabilizing the money situation by buying Bonds instead of dwindling stocks. That is a third reason. But the best reason from a selfish viewpoint is this: Bight now there is no better investment than War Bonds. There is no safer repository for your money. By buying Bonds you become a stockholder in the strongest "going” concern in the world, today, the United States of America. THE EDITOR.

Unconquerable Power Rev. Walter E. Isenhour. Hiddenite. N. C. The power of God is unconquer­ able. He stands far above the most powerful dictators and wicked rul. ers of the earth, and the wost pow­ erful armies they can assemble, even njm beiing many millions. No man, no nation, no army can canquor God and His blessed, mar­ velous, glorious truth. He goes forth conauering and to conquer. And what He does is right. So if we are on God’s side we can re­ joice and shout victory in the face of the devil atjd all the hosts of bell. Turn to the 91st Psalm and read it. Read it again and again. Read it daily and live in it. This tells us what God can do for His people. No demon power can ov­ ercome and destroy one of God’s dear children as long as we live within His will and abide under His shadow, unless He permits us to suffer at the hands of the devil, or even lose this life for His sake, although He positively will not al­ low the devil to destroy the soul of the righteous. Sometimes God gets greater honor and glory out of let­ ting somebody suffer, or even be martyred, for Hit cause and king­ dom, yet this does not limit the power of God. And isn’t it wonderful that we have access to this unconquerable power? Old Elijah prayed Hnto God and He stopped the rain and dew for three and a half years. Then he prayed and the God of heaven sent rain again. And we are told that Elijah was a man subject to lack passions as we are. The three Hebrews who were cast into a furnace ot fire that was so hot that it killed those who cast them in, were in such communion with God, and 'nad Hispower with them so marvelously, until they came ovt unharmed. Yes, they came forth with such victory until they convinced the world of God’s power. Dauiel prayed and the fe rocious lions in the den into which he was cast could not hurt him nor harm him in the least. Paul and Silas prayed and God shook the old prison into which they were un justly thrown and the doors came open, the jailer and bis household were saved, and the authorities set the prisoneis free—that is Paul and Silas. And we have access to che same powerful God today. O let us pray! Hell rages, but God can command the devil and, all bis hosts to stand back and do His people no harm. It is glori us in deed that we con be in tune with God and have his unconquerable power round about us, In us, over us. and know that the demon for ces of bell rage at us in vain. Glo ry to God forever. Hallelujah! Let’s take our stand far God, tne right and trnth, aud hold to His unchanging hand until we can shout victory in heaven forever. “ 0 that man would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the child­ ren of men!" Thank God for His power unconquerable. We Are Ashamed Bragging as if it were something to be proud of the beer “Founda tion” reveals the shameful fact that last year the beer drinkers of North Carolina paid into the tax basket for the state and the nation Nine Million Dollars. This does not take into considera­ tion that which was paid on wines and liquors but these figures stand­ ing alone are disgraceful enongh to make North Carolinians heads bang with shame Nine million dollars is enough to build a $90,000 library in each of the 100 counties of North Carolina. —To-Morrow. Thomas L Dewey When Governor Dwight Gris­ wold of Nebraska placed the name of Thomas E Dewey in nomina­ tion at the Republican National Convention in Chicago he devoted two short paragraphs to the per­ sonal side of Dewey’s life. He merely said: I like him because he came up the hard way. He was born in a small town In Michigan. He went through their public schools. He worked h i s way thro igh the University of that great state He went to the metropolis of this nation—and made good. “ I like the kind of father he is and the kind of family he has. I like the fact that be says grace at meals. We Americans believe in that.” But to the people of Owosso, Michigan, it would take volumes to tell the human side of the lad whom they know as "Tom.” The boy who became nationally known long before he was forty, and who became nationally known long be­ fore he was forty, and who was named the Republican Presidential candidate is a typical mid-western boy from a small community. Like other boys in Owosso he went fish­ ing, played baseball on the corner sandlot, played football i n t h e autumn, and sang in the church choir 0 n Sunday. Like otfaer youngsters of small towns, “the Dewey boy” worked during bis school vacations, sometimes on -a farm; sometimes in his father’s small newspaper shop And in the fall he eagerly returned to his class­ room. Although Dewey’s family was highly respected, and affluent to the degree that a small town news­ paper editor is prominent, the fami­ ly could not be called prosperous. Tom found it necessary to work his way through college. But long be­ fore he was ready for ready for the univerity, Tom Dewev way saving money from bis atter-scbool work to finance his education. Dewey’s father didn’t live to see the great honor bestowed upon Tom, but his mother is still living <n the home in Michigan where the Republican standard bearer was raised. Dewey’s grandfather, as a delegate to the historic convention under the oaks Jackson, Mich., helped to create the Republican Party In that critical year of 1854; a year in which crisis, comparable to the present, confronted the na' tion.

Another “Blunder” Wben 2700 jars of peanut butter were destroyed recently by Federal marshals under a Federal court order at Idaho F'alls, Idaho, because the jars weighed 15.66 ounces instead of 16 ounces as stated on the labels, Dr. Paul B. Dunbar, acting food and drug administrator, admitted that such waste of food was a “blunder” on the part of representatives of his agency. The blander could have been averted and the food conserved either by replacing the jars, by add­ ing peanut butter to increase the weight to label specifications, or by donating the food to a charitable in> stitution.

National Grangeat Win­ ston-Salem Next November The National Granage is recog­ nized as the leading spokesman of the farm people of the nation, due to its active participation in agri­ cultural affairs and the firm stand it has long taken in behalf of the farm interests. Consequently its annualy its annual convention, al- ways largely attended, attracts widespread interest and what the Grange has to say on pending na­ tional issues commands universal attention. This year's National Grange con­ vention—the 78th—will be held at Winston - Salem, North Carolina, and the dates are November 15-23. Preparations for this great get-to­ gether of rural people are already well started and Nortfi Carolina Grange members will play the host in their usual royal fashion, sup­ ported by fellow Patrons in adjoin ing states The beautiful Reynolds Memorial Auditorium at Winston- Salem will afford an admirable meeting place for the largest ses. sions of the convention, and the National Grange headquarters will be the Robert E Lee Hotel. The “big day” of the conven­ tion will be Ftiday, November 17, whieh will witness the conferring of the climax degree in Grange ri­ tualism —the Seventh—whose at­ tainment is the ambition or all Grange ritualism -».he Seventh— whose attainment is the ambition of all Grange members. The degree will be given afternoon and even­ ing on that day, for the convenience of Patrons coming from North Ca­ rolina, South Carolina. Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee, with an expected total of 2,500 or more. The Grange Seventh Degree ranks very high in ritualistic procedure and members often travel long dis­ tances to secure it. To tbe Winston-Salem conven­ tion will come prominent figures in national affairs — many of them Grange members—and declaration there adopted will have farreaching influence in the settlement of many grave problems of tbe times. With the occupancy of its new Head­ quarters BniMing at Washington, D. C., the National Grange be comes a more important factor than ever before in its championship of the agricultural welfare A careful-ptepared program will characterize t h e Winston Salem nine-day convention, on which will be Included leaders in agricultural educational activities of this group of states; and the advantage of tnis great section will be put convinc­ ingly before the Grange visitors, who will come from nearly 40 states. The publicity possibilities contain ed in the November Grange event, for North Carolina aud the adja cent area, are very great and will be emphasized to ths utmost. Later a series of Sixth Degree meetings, with that Grange degree conferred in preparation for the Seventh at Winston-Salem Novem ber 17, will be announced, meet­ ing the convenience of local groups eager to ascend to the topmost round in Grange ritualism. As fast as the convention program is developed its most imprortant iea. tures will be given wide publicity. State Master Harry B. Caldwell of North Carolina has the hearty packing of a host of Patrons who will serve in various preparation ac tivities; while neighboring State Masters are joining hands vigor­ ously in making tbe convention one long to oe remembered. Tbe 66th annual session of the National Grange was held at Winston Sa­ lem in 1932 when W Kerr Scott, present North Carolina Commis sioner of Agriculture, was - State Master, and a decided impulse to Democratic Party Ig­ nores South Lancaster, S. C Declaring that "it is quite obvious that tbe Na­ tional Democratic party, as present­ ly constituted, is no longer the par ty of the South, E. Coke Bridges, of Heath Springs, a delegate to the national convention of the Demo­ cratic party held In Chicago, said that “the road down which we are being carried by those in power will, some day, make a most un­ happy comparison with similar roads of wreck and ruin which are today being traveled by many un­ fortunate peoples in other lands.” Mr. Bridges, who is the mayor of Heath Springs and former state senator from Lancaster county, at tended the convention in Columbia. He says, however, that the dele­ gates from South Carolina an d other Southern states might as well stay at home as the party “has been taken over by a mostly com bination which has reduced the South to a decayed knot on a rot­ ten log.” According to Mr. Bridges, for. mer United StatesSenator James F. Byrnes had over 700 votes pledged for the vice presidency but that Sidv.ey Huffman, CIO would not support the ticket with any South, erner on it. He says that Hillman told Bvrnes there were too many Negroes in the CIO for it to sup­ port a ticket containing a South­ erner. “To begin with,” - said Mr. Bridges, “ there was no semblance of democracy connected with tbe convention. It was operated by tbe big state and big city bosses, Flynn of New York, Hagueof Jer­ sey city, Kelly of Chicago, and a few others, Including Sidney Hill­ man of the CIO. ‘ ‘The CIO through its president, Sidney Huffman and its Political Action Committee were definitely a powerful force behind the scenes and in the convention. This or­ ganization with its Russian-born Communist leader has well nigh taken over the Democratic party. “The National Democratic party today has no more in common with the party ot our fathers than a pig has with a peafowl Tbe time- honored principles which our fore- fathers have always stood for and fought for have been so tiampled in the dust of political expediency as to become inrecognizable. Third Party Ticket Washington—Plans for holding the Byrd-for-President organiza tion intact to help in the formation of a third party anti.Roosevelt ticket were announced by John U. Barr of New Orleans, chairman of the recent campaign to make Senat or Harry F. Byrd of Virginia the Democratic presidential nominee. “The event of the next 30 days may develop the fighting names and slogans uuder which we will wage our battle,” Barr said in a statement. “At the proper mom. ent we shall make the necessary announcements. There will be a genuine Democratic ticket for tbe electoral college." Barr did not detail any of his plans, but he is believed to be pre> paring to go South to lend a hand to dissident Democrats in trying, through petitions and other means, to get electors on the ballot pledged ti some Democrat other than the P resen t. Grange work in this area resulted Of further local interest is the fact that Mrs. Margaret H. Caldwell, wife of tbe North Carolina State ■ Master, is National Superintend, 'ent of the Grange Juvenile Depart­ ment. and this phase of Grange work will be strongly emphasized ai the coming convention.

Eyes On Mrs. Tom Dewey One of the issues of the presiden­ tial campaign with the denomination of President Roosevelt. Never be­ fore has a Presiden’t wife been the issue which Mrs. Roosevelt is sure to be, thinks the Richmond, Va.. Times Dispatch. Not only so, but there will be a great contrast between Mrs. Roose­ velt and Mrs. Dewey. The latter is quiet retiring. 41 years old, and de­ cidedly good-looking. Furthermore, ber conception of tbe First Lady’s proper role in tbe White Hoose is in direct conflict with that of Mrs. Roosevelt In her first interview with the press after her husband’s nomination, Mrs. Dewey said: "I have no intention of doing ra­ dio work or making speches or writ ing a column.. I intend to leave those things to my husband,” Thus if Mrs. Dewey goes to the White House, she will follow a much more convential course than Mrs. Roosevelt has done. Many will wel­ come this departure with fervent en­ thusiasm. Mrs. Dewey was born in Sherman, Texas, is said to be a collateral des­ cendant of Jefferson Davis, and is a former sing in a road company of George White’s Scandals. She was never a chorus girl, of course, her roles having been purely musical. It was at the Chicago, Musical College that she met Tom Dewer, also a singer of parte.

Let's Face Facts Brazilian Troops in Italy Boy Does Big Job Disaster Faces Farmers It Boom in Land Values Continues to Skyrocket B y BARROW £ 7 0 N S WNO Staff Correspondent ■■ Barrow Lyons WASHINGTON, D. C.— One glance at the current USDA index of farm real estate values in­ dicates that a boom in land values is well started, which, if not checked by the m ost vigorous legislation, is likely to develop into a condition that will have a disastrous effect upon farm ing for many years to come. The average value of farm land per acre for the nation as a whole has been rising at the rate of about I per cent a month since the latter part of 1943. At the moment, the movement has slowed down slightly—but this is a seasonal con­ dition, and unless inflationary forces are checked, ac­ celeration can be expected in the fall and winter, when farm ers gen­ erally do m ost of their land pur­ chasing. They have tim e to look around and bargain then. Only the very young farm ers of today cannot rem em ber what took place in the farm land boom of the last war, and the two years that followed that war. It took five years then for the national index of land values to climb from a level of 124 in 1915 (the average for 1935-1939 equals 100) to the 205 level in 1920. Those figures are March I averages for the nation in the years m en­ tioned. That was a climb of 65 per cent. Started in 1942 This tim e the inflationary move­ m ent did not start until 1942. It began from a somewhat lower level of values, as the chart accompany­ ing this article shows, and for the first two years the rise followed closely the pattern of 1916 and 1917. But beginning last winter, the rise in the third year of increase has been far m ore rapid than in the third m IXAJISn The first contingent of Brazilian troops is shown arriving in Italy to take its place beside the American, British and French Allies in the fight against the common foe.

In the first three years of the present boom the rise has been 34 per cent. If the upward climb continues un­ til next M arch at the sam e rate, the rise for the first four years of the present movement will be more than 50 per cent, com pared with 36 per cent in the first four years of the previous boom. That would m ean that inflation of farm land values is sneaking up on us much faster than last time, and threatens to go very much further, for the w ar is still in progress, inflationary forces are much greater than 25 years ago, and we already are beginning to re­ lax price rise restraints. Let m e quote from the bulletin on the subject issued by the USDA bu­ reau of agricultural economics in M arch, this year. It says: “In the principal agricultural areas the value-stimulating forces are increasing in strength, white the value-curbing influences are weak­ ening. The predominant forces op­ erating in the farm real estate m ar­ ket stem from conditions of high farm - commodity prices, record farm income levels and growing ac­ cumulations of funds available for land purchase.” The analysis points out that de­ m and deposits of country banks in 20 leading agricultural states in­ creased 30 per cent during 1943, and by January, 1944, had trebled from 1939. This condition continues to grow, as farm income from m arket­ ing this year compares well with the all-time record of last year. There to a bum per wheat crop at excellent prices, and other crops prom ise high cash yields. Increase in Transfers The most alarm ing feature of this m ovement is the increase in the num ber of transfers for speculative purposes. Reselling after only short periods of ownership is increasing, especially in the Pacific and North Central regions. In the latter part of last year, alm ost three-fourths of the tracts resold were held for less than a year, and over two-fifths for less than six months. Despite earnest pleas m ade to halt this boom through purchase of war bonds, instead of land, the only promise of effective action yet to appear has been the bill introduced by Sen. Guy M. Gillette of Iowa, which would impose a 90 per cent tax on profits m ade from the sale , of farm land held less than two j years. Scme responsible officials fear that if the full vigor of the present German prisoners aboard a coast guard-manned transport—war weariness and homesickness alike seem evident in the faces of these German prisoners as they gather around on deck. They face a long period of internment in the United States before they return to the home­ land which they are singing about here.

Mail Goes Through Released by W estern Newspaper Union. IT REMAINED for Arne Anders- 1 son, Swedish schoolteacher, to prove to the world that talk of a four-minute mile w as m ore than wishful thinking. In the greatest mile race of all lime, Andersson toured the distance in 4:01.6. Running against the famed Gunder Hagg, Andersson came the closest to achieving the goal of some JO years. He has definitely proved his superiority over Hagg, and has removed any doubt that there is any­ one in his class. And it should be noted that Hagg knocked off the mile in 4:02, better than any previously recorded time before their duel. 1943 Record Andersson’s 4:01.6 m ile was the latest development in the running of the event that has become a monopoly for him and Hagg. They have broken the record four tim es in the past two years, shaving nearly five seconds from the 4:06.4 chalked up by Sid­ ney Wooderson of England in 1937. In 1943 Andersson established a world, record of 4:02.6. At 28, the flying Swede cut a full second from that m ark. For the first three quarters of his race with Hagg, Arne actually was eight-tenths of a second ahead of the four-minute pace. He ran the first quarter in 56.8 for the fastest lap ever m ade in a m ile race. When he reached the half-mile m ark, with 60.5 for the quarter, he was hitting pretty m uch the pace of a good middie-distance m an. He m ade the third quarter in 62.9 and the last in 61.4. In running 4:02.6 last year Anders- son ran his quarters in 58.5, 63.5, 61.8 and 59.8. Comparison of the two races shows that he was 1.7 fast­ er on the first quarter than last sum­ mer and two full seconds on the second lap. This gave him a total advantage of 3.9 seconds for the half. He began to lag and ran the third quarter 1.9 slower and then lost 2.4 in the final. It is obvious that he has improved over the first half mile. But he will have to develop a stronger finish to clock the four- minute mile. Francis Powers, Chicago sports w riter, points out that Col. Arnold Strode Jackson, English Olympic champion in 1912, calculated that the four-minute m ile will be reached only if a runner can pace himself to 58, 62, 61 and 59 seconds. That is a punishing schedule. It dem ands a terrific start, a breathing spell dur­ ing the second quarter with a grad­ ual pickup during the third and speed enough for a slam m ing finish. A Comparison Andersson bettered Jackson’s standard for the first quarter and was 2.7 ahead of time at the half. He fell 1.1 hack of schedule on the third, but was still eight-tenths of a second to the good for the three- quarters. The final lap was his un­ doing—he went 2.4 off the Jackson pace. Andersson indicated earlier in the season that he would have come to the United States but for previous running com m itm ents in Sweden. Hagg, too, has announced that he will return to the United States at “ the earliest possible convenience.” Their appearance here wonld fur­ nish grand entertainment, but the competition we could provide dur­ ing the summer would make an early trip to this country rather fu­tile. It would be better if the two Swedes would come for our winter season. They could m eet A m erica’s m ilers when they w ere in top form. It is also doubtful if Andersson and Hagg, during the warm m onths, could approach the tim e they m ade in their homeland, w here they can run late in the evening when it is cool and there is no bothersom e humidity.

In the first three years of the World War I boom the rise was 26 per cent. In the first three years of the present boom the rise has been 34 per cent. If the upward climb continues un­ til next March at the same rate, the rise for the first four years of the present movement will be more than 50 per cent, compared with 36 per cent in the first four years of the previous boom. That would mean that inflation of farm land values is sneaking up on us much faster than last time, and threatens to go very much further, for the war is still in progress, inflationary forces are much greater than 25 years ago, and we already are beginning to re­ lax price rise restraints. Let me quote from the bulletin on the subject issued by the USDA bu­ reau of agricultural economics in March, this year. It says: "In the principal agricultural areas the value-stimulating forces are increasing in strength, whild the value-curbing influences are weak­ ening. The predominant forces op­ erating in the farm real estate mar­ ket stem from conditions of high farm - commodity prices, record farm income levels and growing ac­ cumulations of funds available for land purchase.” The analysis points out that de­ mand deposits of country banks in 20 leading agricultural states in­ creased 30 per cent during 1943, and by January, 1944, had trebled from 1939. This condition continues to grow, as farm income from market­ ing this year compares well with the all-time record of last year. There is a bumper wheat crop at excellent prices, and other crops promise high cash yields. Increase in Transfers The most alarming feature of this movement is the increase in the number of transfers for speculative purposes. Reselling after only short periods of ownership is increasing, especially in the Pacific and North Central regions. In the latter part of last year, almost three-fourths of the tracts resold were held for less than a year, and over two-fifths for less than six months. Despite earnest pleas made to halt this boom through purchase of war bonds, instead of land, the only promise of effective action yet to appear has been the bill introduced by Sen. Guy M. Gillette of Iowa, which would impose a 90 per cent tax on profits made from the sale of farm land held less than two years. Scme responsible officials fear that if the full vigor of the present boom is publicized, it will lead to greater speculation, with resulting stimulation of the boom—and great­ er disaster when values collapse i German prisoners aboard a coast guard-manned transport—war weariness and homesickness alike seem evident in the faces of these German prisoners as they gather around on deck. They face a long period of internment in the United States before they return to the home­ land which they are singing about here.

Mail Goes Through Released by W estern Newspaper Union. T REMAINED for Ame Anders- son, Swedish schoolteacher, to prove to the world that talk of a four-minute mile was more than wishful thinking. In the greatest mile race of all time, Andersson toured the distance in 4:01.6. Running against the famed Gunder Hagg, Andersson came the closest to achieving the goal of some 70 years. He has definitely proved his superiority over Hagg, and has removed any doubt that there is any­ one in his class. And it should be noted that Hagg knocked off the mile in 4:02, better than any previously recorded time before their duel. 1943 Record Andersson’s 4:01.6 mile was the latest development in the running of the event that has become a monopoly for him and Hagg. They have broken the record four times in the past two years, shaving nearly five seconds from the 4:06.4 chalked up by Sid­ ney Wooderson of England in 1937. In 1943 Andersson established a world, record of 4:02.6. At 28, the flying Swede cut a full second from that mark. For the first three quarters of his race with Hagg, Arne actually was eight-tenths of a second ahead of the four-minute pace. He ran the first quarter in 56.8 for the fastest lap ever made in a mile race. When he reached the half-mile mark, with 60.5 for the quarter, he was hitting pretty much the pace of a good middle-distance man. He made the third quarter in 62.9 and the last in 61.4. In running 4:02.6 last year Anders- son ran his quarters in 58.5, 62.5, 61.8 and 59.8. Comparison of the two races shows that he was 1.7 fast­ er on the first quarter than last sum­ mer and two full seconds on the second lap. This gave him a total advantage of 3.9 seconds for the half. He began to lag and ran the third quarter 1.9 slower and then lost 2.4 in the final. It is obvious that he has improved over the first half mile. But he will have to develop a stronger finish to clock the four- minute mile. Francis Powers, Chicago sports writer, points out that Col. Arnold Strode Jackson, English Olympic champion in 1912, calculated that the four-minute mile will be reached only if a runner can pace himself to 58, 62, 61 and 59 seconds. That is a punishing schedule. It demands a terrific start, a breathing spell dur­ ing the second quarter with a grad­ ual pickup during the third and speed enough for a slamming finish. A Comparison Andersson bettered Jackson's standard for the first quarter and was 2.7 ahead of time at the half. He fell 1.1 back of schedule on the third, but was still eight-tenths of a second to the good for the three- quarters. The final lap was his un­ doing—he went 2.4 off the Jackson pace. Andersson indicated earlier in the season that he would have come to the United States but for previous running commitments in Sweden. Hagg, too, has announced that he will return to the United States at “the earliest possible convenience.” Their appearance here would fur­ nish grand entertainment, but the competition we could provide dur­ ing the summer would make an early trip to this country rather fu­tile. It would be better if the two Swedes would come for our winter season. They could meet America’s milers when they were in top form. It is also doubtful if Andersson and Hagg, during the warm months, could approach the time they made in their homeland, where they can run late in the evening when it is cool and there is no bothersome humidity.

QUEENS DIE PROUDLY W.NiU.TEATUqgf CHAPTER XXII “ 'Because the real truth Is/ he said, ‘our present Army fighters don’t clim b fast enough, or high enough—and they don’t have the range. Every Jap knows this, if the people back home don’t. Maybe it would hurt their m orale to find it out, but I’m only thinking of the m orale of m y pilots.’ That’s why he wanted to come home. Poor guy.” “Meanwhile Florida played on in the sunshine,” said Margo, “ and I was trying to w rite letters to spme of the other girls we knew whose husbands would never come back. Some of the letters I wanted to w rite I couldn’t. F or a while I had been on exhibition because m y husbpnd was supposed to be dead in Java, and they’d look at me and groan with patriotic sympathy, and Uien get to work planning the next golf tournam ent. I’d look at those strong, healthy young golf pro­ fessionals, coaching fiabby m en on the putting greens, and wonder why they weren’t in uniform. Only that was the wrong attitude; they’d tell you we need recreation now, m ore than ever, to keep our m orale up during the w ar. I suppose it was true, but I kept wishing the w eary boys in uniform I knew could be getting m ore of it, instead of these stagnant, contented men. “There w ere some m ore nam es to be added to that list of letters,” said Frank, “but with us the feeling had changed. It w as wonderful to be able at last to sm ash them back, as the fighters had done at Darwin. And from its base in North Austra­ lia, the old 19th Bom bardm ent Group —which included the 7th now—was flying out over New Guinea and New Britain islands, landing heavy punches on them at Lae and Sala- m aua, and at Rabaul. “Now the Jap lines of communica­ tion w ere as far extended as ours had been; now we had something like Uie equipm ent they had put against us. We knew, of course, they were busy digesting Java and the Philippines. But we felt now they could never knock us back on our heels again, because we were getting solidly dug in so we could soak up their punches and put out a few of our own. It was a nice feeling. “Also the Japs were getting a healthy respect for the E-model Forts. “Not long after the Olympics, I heard Kobi Ishi had entered the Jap Air Force. A fter that I thought of them all as Kobi Ishi, a pretty good diver with some fair tricks and a toothy smile, but nothing you can’t handle if you train for it. Maybe they’re all fanatics, craving to die for the Em peror, but I rem em ber a story the 19th told m e in Australia. “Six of our Forts were coming in over Rabaul to give the Japs a pasting when one lone Zero showed up. The six Forts were all brand- new E models, and the Japs had learned about them . The Forts con­ tinued in formation, but keeping their guns trained on the Zero. Now m ost fighter pilots, whether they’re American, Jap, or Germ an, are nervous and qtflck like fox terriers. There’s no gap between thinking and acting, so you can alm ost watch a fighter plane and read its pilot’s mind. That’s how it was with this little Jap. He starts in, thinking here’s a chance to pick off a F .rt, and then suddenly he sees all those guns and thinks how sweet and cute his little almond-eyed geisha is back home, and how nice it would be to get back to her, so about half a mile away he pulls out in a turn, out of range, and continues parallel with the six Forts, thinking it over. Well, the little geisha finally wins out over the Em peror, because he doesn't go in, but he thum bs his nose a t them in his w ay: flying alongside, with all of our gang watching, he starts doing Im m elm ann turns. It’s a half-loop, which brings you out upside down only flying backward, quickly followed by a half-roll, which turns you right side up again. And it's one of the hardest tricks in the book if done properly—beautiful flying, the boys said, and he kept doing it over and over, just out of range, as m uch as to say, ‘Boys, I’m not coming in, but don’t think I can’t fly.’ Kept it up for fifteen m inutes in his latest-m odel super­ charged Zero, srnd just as he flipped off into a cloud, our gang waved their applause for the flying circus, aria he gave them the high sign back. To m e he was Kobi Ishi. I’d like to m eet him after the war. “In early April P ort Moresby on New Guinea was our problem child. Our air base there was a single jun­ gle-hewn landing strip with no ade­ quate antiaircraft guns. W e were building dispersal fields, but they w eren't done yet, so that the aircraft had to be lined up along the side of that gravel runway and of course w ere slow In getting off, which m ade it a setup for the Japs. Also, our equipm ent w as flown by green youngsters from the States. The big problem was supply. Moresby is as far from Melbourne as Los Ange­ les is from Pittsburgh. Then at ev­ ery state' line the Australian railroad changes gauges, so all the freight cars had to be unloaded. We had about a dozen B-24’s to bring sup­ plies in over the w ater from the end of the railroad at Townsville, but only about four of these were operational; the rest were urider repair. “And the Japs were still a nui­ sance at Moresby—dropping down from the overcast to strafe our field at 40 feet altitude. We spent a lot of our tim e there, and had some close calls getting out to 6ave the Swoose.” “I’ll never forget our closest one,” said M aster Sergeant ‘Red’ Varner, The cannibal bead banters who lived in the jungle nsed to stalk the tam e village natives. the Swoose’s crew chief. “We got just a m inute and a half’s notice that the Japs were coming. Now the General could have stepped down into a foxhole and been per­ fectly safe there, watching the Japs pound the field. But not our Gen­ eral—he wanted to save that plane, and we had to run like hell to jum p in, the General leading everybody, slam the doors, and lam out of there. We had to take off down wind, which was bad, missing a little hill by a lot less than 100 feet. We wouldn’t have m issed it if it hadn’t been for those sm art trees they have on New Guinea growing on top of that hill—the most intelligent ones I’ve ever seen. Because they saw us coming and ducked. I happened to be looking out and saw them . Then I looked back, and bombs were already breaking on the field right in the dust of our take-off. “The Colonel here, who of course was doing the piloting, pulled a sm art one. The Japs were right on top of us, so he hugged the ground — figuring then the Zeros couldn’t dive on us without m ash­ ing their own propellers into the bush. We went hell for breakfast, wiggling in and out of gullies hardly 40 feet off the ground, and then out over the sea, where we could see a cloud cover to hide in. We had all kinds of rank aboard that day— Australian Air Force generals and other visiting firemen—and some of them w eren’t used to scuttling through gullies in a four-motor plane, and by the tim e we got into that cloud they were sprouting some gray hairs.” “ By May, though,” said Frank, “we began to get the situation in hand at Moresby. We got some dis­ persal fields back in the hills for our planes and an qperational alarm net so now we .can intercept, and also the Zeros run into an intense cross fire from the ground which sends them trailing off across the jungle on fire. So presently straf­ ing is out, and we have only regular raids by high-altitude Jap bombers pounding the field. Our fighters are getting better every day, and pretty soon they’re chasing them out over the coast, jettisoning their bombs, which whistle down harm lessly to tear up em pty jungles. “For a while we had a labor prob­ lem . The tam e village natives we’d hired to work on the field didn’t like the bombs, and when the alarm sounded, instead of jumping into the foxholes they’d beat it into the jun­ gle, and m aybe not come back for a couple of days. However, this soon stopped, because the cannibal head-hunters whq lived in the jun­ gle used to stalk them and chase them back, and as between the bombs and the head-hunters, the na­ tives chose the bombs, so we got plenty of work done. “By now we weren’t worried about P ort Moresby. We had that in fair shape, and our bombers were going over alm ost every day to pound the Japs. But we were un­ easy about the other shore of New Guinea. The Japs had already dug in a t Lae and Salam aua—suppose they cam e on dovrn the line and put in an airfield at. Buna, right opposite Moresby? They could cause us pleh- ty of trouble, intercepting our bomb­ ers on the way out and back. “General B rett was particularly anxious, and wanted to move in and take Buna in May. There was noth­ ing there then but a native village and an old Catholic mission. But M elbourne said no, because it would m ean landing troops to defend our airdrom e there. “But the Air Force knew if the Japs ever got Buna it would take a first-class expedition to get them out. Finally General Ralph Royce, who w as General B rett’s operations chief, flew out over northern New Guinea on a personal inspection of the whole coast, and sent to Mel­ bourne a detailed report, endorsing a field at Buna as vital to our fu­ ture air operations. “Presently his reply cam e. In ref­ erence to his report on the estab­ lishm ent of a landing field at Buna, M elbourne headquarters commend­ ed him for his initiative in making the reconnaissance, but found that owing to lack of facilities, it wasn’t possible at this tim e. “But this friendly little ground-air argum ent over Buna w as soon set­ tled. The third week in July our reconnaissance spotted a Jap Naval task force moving toward the north coast of New Guinea, and vow just off Rabaul. .We weren’t sui-.» where they were headed—m aybe around the island, to capture Moresby itself. “We were taking no chances, so on July 24 General B rett hit them with everything he had, little as it was—m edium and light bombard­ m ent, Forts and obsolescent dive bombers. “But for twenty-four hours the fog closed in, hiding them . When it lifted they were sixty m iles off Buna. Now we knew the Jap High Command was thinking in the sam e strategical term s as we were in the Air Force. “Even though the w eather gave us this very short tim e to pound them , we m ade them pay for their Buna landing. But still they could sneak a transport through during the night to put troops ashore. Had we had only a little infantry and artillery at Buna, they could have held them off, giving the Air Force a chance to pound their landing barge3 at dawn.

IN ADVANCE IX MONTHS IN ADVANCE S I OO $ 50 Were we to be directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want bread.—Thomas Jefferson. The Gallop Poll would indicate that Roosevelt followers of yester­ year are deserting Franklin like rats leaving a sinking ship A Roosevelt man iold us a few days ago that he bad cast bis last vote for Franklin Delano. Brother there are thousands of Democrats who are following in your footsteps. Melville Broughton, Democratic Governor of North Carolina, says that the Democratic party has been taken over and is being run by the Northern Negroes and the C. I O. An honest confession is said to be good tor the soul. JOHN W. BRICKER Tnere is good reason to believe that the New Dealers became as nervous when Governer John W. Bricker, of Ohio, let it be known that he would take second place on the Republican ticket at Chicago as they did when it became obvious that Governor Thomas E. Dewey, of New York, would be the Re publican nominee for President. For, like the man with whom he runs, John W. Bricker has become a symbol in America of efficient bonest, reliable, progressive gov eminent and has won a reputation of being free from machine politi­ cal domination, independent of ra­ cketeers in any form, and utterly fearless in a fight for what he knows to be riaht. When he takes over with Presi dent-Elect Dewey next January in Washington, Vice President-Elect Bricker will bring to tbe task clean bands, a pure heart—and a wealth of experience in cleaning up a bad mess Like Dewey, Bricker went into office in a state after a long period of Democratic control in which poor government and bad government were inextricably in tertwined. Taking over in 1938 in the Ohjo Statehouse, on the heels of the now notorious Davey crowd, Governor Bricker aulckly showed that be bad meant what he said when he talked about economy in Govern ment. As one biographer has poin­ ted. out, Governor Pricker within a month fired 3,000 State employes without creating a single vacancy. He not only reorganized the State government in Ohio from the top to the bottom, be revitalized tbe whole organization with a new enthusiasm to do a better job. Good State workers quickly learn­ ed that only the political strag ban ers and the political patronage-eat- ers would lose out. that action— not words—counted with Iohn Bricker. When Bricker took office, Ohio was millions in the "red,” and the books were In such shape that few fiscal experts could make heads or tails of the whole thing. After five years as Governor, Bricker could report that Ohio had approximate Iy $100,000,000 socked away for a rainy day He could further re­ port that taxes have been lowered and that the state was getting . a dollar’s worth of service for. a dol Iar’s worth of expendituees. Luckily for the American peo­ ple. ‘‘Brick” Bricker, as he has been known to friends since col lege days, decided to try to enlarge his sphere of usefulness. As the running mate of Governor Dewey, be adds much to the Republican National Ticket. Eight Ears In One Chas.

New Restrictions On Use And Sale Of LUMBER Effective August 1st Order L-335 of the War Production Board- which drastically restricts the use and sale of Isimher-went into effect on August I.

A FTTBLIC STATEMENT We desire the public to know that we did not refuse to take a Whitaker child to the hospital who was thought to have infantile piratys^s. It h it besti rumored th it we did refuse and this public statement is made to clear up the matter—in justice to ourselves. We were called and asked to take the child to the hospital in an ambulance. While preparations were being made, we contacted a physician about precautions to be taken from danger of contagion of infantile paralysis by s ibsequeut ambulance patients. We were advised that the child had been taken to the hospital previously In an automobile and that it was wiser to carry the child back by the same transportation—that it could be done safely and without danger. Later we were called and told that the car which was used for ths transportation of the child did not have ade quate gas and tires. We Immediately offered to furnish gas and tires without any charge. We requested that we be informed when other arrangements were complete for entering tbe child in the hospital so that we could get the car to provide the necessary gas and tires. We were not subsequently Informed that arrangements had been concluded and were later advised that anot ambulance had been used instead of a car. We feel that the public should know that we were anxious to get the child to the hospitat at a personal expense and would of course used an ambulance If no other means of transportation were immediately available. At tbe same time we were impelled to follow medical advice in prevention of the spread of this fearful disease about which medical se'e i3 i 't f> vs s> little ab rtt means of contagion. Precautlonforthepubllcdem andsthatpublicvehicles for tbe transportation of the sick or injured be free of danger of infantile paralysis. While every person afflicted with infantile paralysis isnould of course have instantly available all of tbe resources of tbe community, at the same time care and caution should be exercised in protecting the public at large -particularly when an ambulance is subject to all kinds of emergencies at any time. Everyone should cooperate and, in our opinion, follow the doctor's advice about saving lives and protecting the health of our community. WALKER FUNERAL HOME By H. S WALKER NEWSA R.

I Vegetable platters offer light sum­ mer eating possibilities. Arrange them in a pretty pattern with green beans or asparagus making a pat­ tern with macaroni in the center and spaces filled in with corn kernels. There’s nothing like good food well prepared. It’s a pleasure both to the cook who prepared it and also to the one fortunate enough to eat it. Proper preparation is a matter of following rules carefully. That’s why we have recipes carefully tested and with accurate directions given. Form erly, good cooks put in a lump of butter, a handful of flour, etc., but no one else could, cook like they did. Now we have recipes sp that every­ one can be a good cook as long as he follows directions. Vegetables, to be perfection itself, must be cooked to doneness with lust a bit of crispiness left in them. Pies must have a crust with flaki­ ness that will melt in your mouth, with creamy smooth fillings or lus­ cious juicy berry fillings. Cakes are at their best with fluffy, fine grain texture, well flavored ic­ ings or frosting. Ice creams and sherbets should be frozen so that they are creamy and contain no ice particles. And now, to get down to the busi­ ness of preparing food with results such as I have just described. The flcst is an ice box cake with choco­ late filling: Chocolate Ice Box Cake. (Serves 6) 4 squares unsweetened chocolate Vi cup sugar Dash of salt 1A cup hot water 4 egg yolks I teaspoon vanilla 4 egg whites, stiffly beaten 1 cup cream, or evaporated milk 2 dozen lady fingers Melt chocolate in top of double boiler. Add sugar, salt and water, stirring until sugar is dissolved and mixture blended. Remove from boil­ ing water; add egg yolks, one at a time, beating thoroughly. Place over boiling water and cook 2 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. Add vanilla and fold in egg whites. Chin. Fold in cream. Line bottom and sides of a mold with lady fingers or strips of sponge cake. Turn choco­ late mixture into mold and place remaining lady fingers on top. Chill 12 to 24 hours in refriger­ ator. If desired, ___ add Vi cup walnut meats to choco­ late mixture before turning into mold. Unmold. There’s a short-cut method to making finer, lighter cakes. If you want a real treat in making cakes, try the new method.

Stuffings stretch meats: prune and apple stuffing for roast duck­ ling or veal; celery stuffing for lamb roll; oatmeal stuffing for pinwheel beef roll; and apple stuffing for roast pork or slices of ham. Potatoes can stretch hamburg­ ers or hash. Or, use leftover mashed or riced potatoes in stretching these meats. Vegetables can stretch scram­bled eggs.

GOLDEN T E X T -H e th at hath m y word, let him speak m y word faithfully.—Jerem iah Remarkably up-to-date is the helpful guidance found in this Ies- 1 son. When our nation finds Itself. facing those other nations which would destroy our Christian faith,; and we know that we heed the key; both to a true victory and a satisfac-! tory peace, the message of this scripture comes with fine helpful­ ness. The prophet Samuel (who was also priest and judge) served God in ruling his people at a time when they were under the hard heel of the Philistines. The way out of op­ pression was revealed in God’s Word, which brought revival and deliverance—which was not forgot­ ten in the day of triumph. . I. God's Word Declared (3:19-21). While a prophet had the ministry of foretelling, his chief work was forth-telling. He told of the future, but his larger ministry was to de­ clare the message of God. As Sam­ uel did this in faithful devotion to the Lord, there was the Immediate blessing of God which established the prophet throughout the whole land. Those who are timid about “limit­ ing” their ministry (imagine that!) to the Bible should learn of Samuel that it is the only really effective message. God will not “let you down” if you teach and preach His Word. He let none of Samuel’s "words fall to the ground” (v. 19) and He will not desert us as we give forth His truth. Note that the Lord Himself came to strengthen and encourage Samuel; (v. 21). He is just as gracious to His servants today. He comes to them in that blessed strengthening fellowship which stirs their hearts and fires them anew with holy de­ termination. n . Man’s Heart Revived (7:3-6). The response of the people to Samuel’s message was whole hearted. They were sick of their sin and idolatry. They proved the reality of their repentance by put­ ting away their heathen gods. Such repentance and appropriate action is a prerequisite to spiritual revival. God cannot give us His blessing if we hold on to our sin and idolatry. Note how the revival expressed it­ self. They gathered together and prayed (w . 5, 6). Spiritual life thnves on the gathering together of God’s people. The crisis in Israel was met by a convocation of the people. We need to revive the great soul-stirring religious gatherings of a generation ago. Go yourself, and encourage others to go. Let the fire of God burn, and let those who meet scatter far and wide as brands which will light new fires. “I will pray,” said Samuel. He was a great intercessor (I. Sam. 15:11, Ps. 99:6; Jer. 15:1). Revival starts in the faithful intercession of a burdened heart. Should we not ask ourselves, “Have I really prayed for revival in my church, my city, and my country?” In. A Nation Delivered (7:7-11). “Cry unto God . . . he will save us,” was the word of Samuel. They cried, and He did! “The Lord thun­ dered with a great thunder,” and discomfited the enemies of Israel. In these days, of warfare we might well cry out, “Lord, do it again,” thunder upon our enemies and de­ feat them in such a way that they and we shall see that it was the hand of God and not of men! (See Ps. 20:7.) That is one thing for which we might well pray, for “behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear” (Isa. 59:1). - Seeing Israel at prayer, the enemy took advantage of them and at­ tacked. In the previous battle at this very spot (see last Sunday’s les­ son) Israel had been defeated be­ cause they had fought with the weapons of man. Now, with God’s weapons of prayer and faith, they had glorious victory. IV. God’s Mercy Remembered (7:12). Samuel raised a stone of remem­ brance, to remind Israel in the years to come that the Lord had been their help. A defeated, dis­ heartened, sinful people had turned to God in repentance and faith, and God had given them victory. They must never forget His mercy. One of the great concerns of think­ ing men in our day is the fear that victory may come to us before we are spiritually and morally ready to receive it. If it does, we shall see a mad rush into excesses of all kincjj, a bold glorying in our own ability and power, and even greater forgetfulness of God. What America needs now is a deep going spiritual revival which wil both prepare us for a God-giver victory, and for the peace which if to follow.

First, the invasion needs money. Bonds pay for planes and guns and munitions with which to beat the Axis. Our fighting men must have the best possible equip­ment and it is up to us to let our money pro­vide this.A second reason is this: There is a shortage of goods now. Later on there will be plenty for civilian de­sires. Money put into War Bonds now will be available then. Busi­ness opportunities will be open then, too, and the “nest egg” saved now may hatch out commercially then. Money put into War Bonds now will be deprived of its current po­tentiality as a part of the causes of Inflation. You will be doing your part toward stabilizing the money situation by buying Bonds instead of dwindling stocks. That is a third reason. But the best reason from a selfish viewpoint is this: Bight now there is no better investment than War Bonds. There is no safer repository for your money. By buying Bonds you become a stockholder in the strongest “going” concern in the world today, the United States of America. the EDITOR. 0> (A - 9 C4*- Am • < > » o > S > * e AO 3 £ a> i 0 )9 J J Z AQ 8 < I I ► —5 i No!

C- In the 103rd Psalm we read: "Bless the Lord, of my soul: and all that is within me, bless bis holy name.” This is a Psalm of David. Surely he was living close to God when be wrote this marvelous, wonderful Psalm ot praise, of a- doration and reverence. He loved the Lord, and he was enumerating the blessings that God was bestow ing upon him, be appealed to his inmost soul when he said: “All that is within me, bless His holy name.’' Why should we not continually bless the holy name of our God, praise, reverence and adore Him? Think of the many blessings He is bestowing upon us from day today, and of the many favors He grants unto us. Every blessing we re­ ceive comes from Him. He is the giver of all good things. He cre­ ated us in His own image and like ness, crowned us with glory and honor, placing on us just a little lower plane than the angels. We are indeed "fearfully and wonder­ fully made.” Man is the supreme­ ly created being of earth. He stands above all other creatures. And God loves us, honors us and blesses us above every being throu- out the earth. Glory to His holy name. If people would continually bless the name of the Lord everywhere, and especially Christians, It is un­ known how God would uplift us in our hearts, souls and lives. Not only would we be much happier, but we would wield a powerful in­ fluence over sinners in bringing them to the Lord Jesus Christ, meLnwhlle bringing glory to our heavenly Father. If multitudes would completely change the out­ bursts of their hearts and souls, and continually bless and praise God instead of fret, murmur, wor­ ry and complain, it would be glo­ rious. They would have fir bet ter health, would enjoy life far better, would be far sweeter in their souls, with all bitterness tak­ en out, would liv.j longer, and life would be far brighter and sunnier, and they could bring salvation to multitudes of lost souls, and God would get honor and glory. If multitudes of people wonld go to blessing and praising God from day to dav, from honr to hour, thous­ ands of homes would be happier, families would be held together, husbands and wibes would get a* long better, as it would take the irritableness and unpleasantness out of homes, and they would seem much akin to heaven. Try it and see. This is life’s better way “ Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all ehat is within me, bless bis holy name.” The little Tin Cans The little tin cans that have been so patriotically salvaged by the good women in American kitchen have been diverted from the war effort and have now gone on a drunk to the far corners of the world. Yes, the well-meaning effort of our women, and their untiring de­ sire to be of help to the boys over there have become as sounding brass and tinkling cymbals. And for this insult against all our efforts, we are indebted to the WPB for releasing metals for one billion cans to be filled with beer for ship­ ment overseas. From now on, when we go into a ten cent store looking for a little medal gadget that we used to get for the asking and now fail, we will think of these billions cans now sailing the seen seas. Constancy is still a jewell!—Ex. A Massachusetts editor reports that in the Bay State “Don’t change borseB in the middle of the stream” has been revised to read “Let’s change horses and cross the stream. An X mark after your name means you owe us. Just Like Folks For 10 days with pick and. shov­ el sixty men are said to have work­ ed at the job of excavating a coon dog from a cave near Monterev, Mo. Their efforts were successful and old Drive, hound belouging to Henry Light, bids fair to recover In time for the fall hunting. Is this positive proof of man’s love for bis best friend or conclus­ ive evidence that Missouri people, whose lusty singing of "Makes no difference if he is a houn,’ you gotta quit kick.n’ my dawg a- round,” featured Champ Clark’s nearly successful campaign for the Democratic nomination in 1912, are any tonder of their dogs than the rest of us? We doubt it. Of the 60 we concede there might have been a scant half a dozen who were concerned for eitbei Drive or Henry; the rest of the lot, we bet you, slighted home or farm work in a belief that somebody would make a movie or a ballad of the affair, or jnst for the novelty of it. Women folks, too, were toting coffee, sandwiches and pies to cheer the men on, but do you reckon many of these were of the tyoe who really get provoked at them­ selves if toe wash is not on the line before taklng-out lime on Monday or who sweep the yard while wait­ ing on soft-soap to boil?—Greens­ boro Daily News. Time For Change It isn’t at all surprising nor is it unexpected that New Dealers pro­ ponents should lose no time getting out the mud balls to hurl at Gov­ ernor Dewey, or any other candi­ date that might have been p u t forth by the Republican Party. So much mud has been heaved at the GOP in the past twelve vears another plastering won’t make much difference. The fact still re­ mains, the definite swing away from the New Deal has the boys worried and it can be confidently expected this time that many a mud ball wilt contain a brick. The biggest howl will uudoubtly come from those who feed, finan- C’ally, at the public trough. To them it’s like a dentist bearing down on an exposed nerve and their groans will be heard rending. They'll cuss Hoover, who isn’t a candidate for anything, to nigh heaven for exercising the rights of any citizeus to express his views, they’ll belabor Dewey “because be isn't keeping faith with the people of New York” by not staying on the job, forgetting Roosevelt was a Governor and campaigned for the Vice Presidency years ago and then they’ll even bring out the Boy Scout charge on Dewey, for getting twelve years ago when the President was all for ousting mem­ bers of the Supreme Court because they were old men, a state in life in which he himself is now engulfed. He was for youth and vigor at the time but then he was twelve yeais younger.—Davis, Calif., Enterprise If we are to have a government of the people and for the people” it must be a “government by the peo­ ple.” ______________ To Wives and Parents of Soldiers 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.

Watch For Your Check Declaring that every effort is be­ ing made to expedite refunds on 1943 income tax returns C H. Robertson. Collector of Internal Revenue, said refund checks are being mailed to taxpayeis of the North Carolina District at the rate ot 3,000 per week. ‘'To every taxpayer of this dis­ trict who is entitled to a refund on his 1943 return, I would like to sav,” Collector Robertson stated, 'your refund is being processed as rapidly as possible. I cannot tell you exactly when yonr refund will come through, because it might be today and it might not be for a few months. But I can promise you that you will be paid interect at the rate of six per cent per year for every month youi refund Is de­ layed after March 15 Throughout the country we have about 18,000,000 refunds to make, In each case, the return most be compared with employers’ with­ holding tax receipts and other doc­ uments, In many cases, returns contain errors that must be cor­ rected, “ This involves a tremendous a mount of work that must be done with a comparatively small staff, due to wartime manpower short, ages. Obviously, the entire 18.- 000,000 refunds cannot be complet ed at the same time, and some tax* pavers must wait another few months. “ However, a million checks are being distributed every tbree weeks and so you can see that, in your case, you may get your refund fair­ ly soon.” Collector Robertson suggested that taxpayers refrain from writ ing letters to inquire about their refunds, because, in fairness to all taxpayers, the checks are being written in the ordei in which they are mechanically processed, and it is impossible to determine the sta­ tus of any individual case without disrupting and slowing up the whole procedure, However, if a taxpayer has chan­ ged his address since he filed his return, 'ne should advise the col­ lector of both bis old and new ad­ dress. A Mere $250,000 Senator Alben W. “On again-off again” Barkley says that the “dif ference between $15,000,000 and $15,250,000 is rather inconsequen­ tial” and, of course Senator. Mc Keller agrees with him. No wonder we can’t get the truth ahout spend­ ing in Latin America as long as the New Deal is in power. Notice of Sale!

Far From Indispensable The New DeaIetB say Franklin D. Koosevelt is the one roan the nation can’t do without in winning the war. ' Washington newspaper corres- spondents. noted for their disinter­ ested attitudes, say he is only “show” man when it comes to usefulness in Washington. Look Magazine recently made a survey of opinion of Washington correspondents asking whom they considered to be the most useful Washington official. Was RooBevelt first? Not on your life. Was Roosevelt second? Not at all. Franklin D. Roosevelt was THIRD man in the race. In other words. Franklin D Roose­ velt is very indispensable. He can be done without. First most useful man, according to the correspondents, was a soldier General George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff. Second most useful man. according to the correspondets. was Cordell Hull, Secretary of State. The same survey made a poll to determine the 10 IeaBt useful per­ sons in Washington. Among those getting high score were Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor; Henry Morgenthau, Jr.. Secretary of the Treasury; Claude R. Wickard. Se­ cretary cf the Treasury; Claude R. Wickard. Secretary of Agriculture; Henry A. Wallace. Vice President of the United States; Frances Biddle, Attorney General—the majority of Roosevelt Cabinet Also voted among the ten least least useful were: Joiin G. Rankin Democrat Representative from Mis­ sissippi: Harry L. Hopkins, special assistant to the President; Joseph F. Guffey, Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania, and Paul V. McNutt, director of the Federal Security A- gency.—Ohio Republican News. Mnle Survives Flood Of 1916, Still Plows There is a mule on the farm of W. Knox Huffman, in rural Catawba county, that has lived a long and eventful life. The old boy, ‘28 years old, was swept down river for 12 miles in the memorable flood of 1916 but lived to plow many a row of cot­ ton in the years afterwards. Joe Puckett, a worker with the Catawba soil conservation service, found out about the mule last week when he was working on a farm in Oxford community, where Huffman lives It seems the mule colt was born in Watauga county When he was just four months old, he and his mother were swept into a flooded river as the water rushed down from the mountains of Watauga. The mother was drowned, b u t some twelve miles down the river some spectators saw the head of a young mule bobbing along through the water and they dragged the little fellow out. He was taken back to his master and some time later was sold to the Catawba county man. The old mule is still plugging a- long, doing his best to help the war effort through production of fooJ and feedstuff____________ Little Business Hit Approximately 70.000 retail stores have closed Bince Pearl Harbor, mostly among family-operated firms and those employing only a few people. The principal reasons for closing are: shortage of help, lack of supplies, difficulties due to rationing and the many Governirent reports that must be filed.

It, was, they said, “highly irflation.” Bnt when the White House gave the word it needed more votes for the fourth-term drive, th e New Deal compromised on price control and a bill was passed giving the OPA administrator power to grant increases where needed. Since that action was taken, several major in­ creases in textile prices have taken place. This is what is called "holding the line against vote losses.” Bureacratic Immunity A New York housewife hired a young woman as part-time maid through the United States Employ­ ment Service. A few minutes after the maid reported for work the housewife went up to the roof for a sun bath. When she returned both the maid and a purse containing $18 were gone. The housewife, who had forgotten the maid’s name, called the USE!?. She was told that it would be a- gainst regulations to tell either the name or address. Only in the event of an infraction of Ijhe Social Securi­ ty Act, violation of the Federal In­ come Tax law, forging a Social Se­ curity benefit check, or illegal ac­ tion by a Social Security employee could that information be given out. Not even the FBI could budge USES from that firm stands, which was backed up by the War Manpower Commission. <■ Mayor LaGuardia called the regu­ lation "cocked-eyed.” We agree, and then some. We also think that the regulation should be amended before someone, temtped by this bureaucratic immunity, commits a more serious crime than the theft of $18.- Muncie, Ind., Press.

THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE. N. C. -BI d r e w Ae m Washington. D. C. ADMIRAL KING SLAPS Insiders now adm it that friction between Secretary of the Navy For- restal and Chief of. Naval Opera­ tions Admiral Ernie King is just as bad as it was between King and the late Frank Knox—or worse. Knox and Admiral King rubbed each other raw. King used to go over the head of the secretary of the navy, even overruled him regarding the navy’s new gray sum m er uni­ form, which Knox—and m ost navy men—opposed. When Forrestal becam e secretary of the navy, it was hoped that rela­ tions would be harmonious. Last week, however, Admiral King pub­ licly gave his chief an adroit slap- down. Forrestal, Admiral King and fight­ ing Admiral Halsey were holding a joint press conference. The secre­ tary of the navy was asked if he had any comment on the fall of the Tojo cabinet. He replied that navy personnel, including himself, were not supposed to comment on politics. Whereupon Admiral King inter­ rupted and, alm ost as if the secre­ tary of the navy were a little boy, corrected him. "I will comment on that,” he an­ nounced, despite Forrestal’s state­ m ent that political m atters were not for comment by navy personnel. “Obviously, the cabinet would not have fallen unless there was dissatis­ faction on the part of m ilitary lead­ ers with the conduct of the war. The Japanese can be expected to con­ tinue to wage war with all the pow­ ers they possess.” Secretary Forrestal took the ad­ m iral’s rem arks — interpreted by those present as an indirect slap- down—without saying a word.• . * VETERAN STRUGGLE One of the most im portant behind- the-scenes struggles for postwar power is now being waged between the American Legion and the Veter­ ans of Foreign W ars. Actually, the Veterans of For­ eign W ars are in a better position than the Legion to get a head start on recruiting veterans of World War II. The VFW charter from congress perm its recruiting men before they are discharged, while the Legion m ust wait until a m an leaves the service before recruiting him. Fact is the VFW has picked up m ore than 400,000 new m em bers since Pearl Harbor, while the Le­ gion’s gains have been relatively paltry. At the start of the war, the Legion had more than one million m embers, the VFW only a quarter million. But today the VFW m aga­ zine has the largest overseas cir­ culation of any non-governmental publication, is now read by 300,000 m en monthly. As a result, VFW is picking, up m em bers at the rate of 5,000 a week, while Legion officials fret, plan their own recruiting drive later. One reason for VFW success has been a policy of tacitly bucking the American Legion on key policy m atters. VFW helped paint the Le­ gion as “anti-labor,” then turned around and attem pted to arrange a deal whereby all CIO and AFL m em ­ bers in the service would join the VFW instead of the Legion when they left, the service. More than two million union,men are in the service. However, labor has not fallen for the bait. Instead, trade-union chap­ ters of the American Legion are be­ ing rapidly built up to help com­ bat any anti-union feelings of re­ turning servicemen. The Veterans of Foreign W ars also m ade "hay” with a speech delivered by national Legion Commander War­ ren Atherton in the South Pacific area recently. Atherton debunked the idea that m en in the front lines fighting the Japs want furloughs home. The VFW immediately took advantage of this statem ent, set up a terrific howl for overseas fur­ loughs, soon found membership ap­ plications pouring in.... SITUATION IN GERMANY Uncensored m ilitary and political dispatches reaching the diplomatic corps reveal that the Germ an arm y is defeated and that fat Herm ann Goering, father of the Luftwaffe, m ay soon rise as the Germ an “m an on horseback” to try to make peace with the Allies. This dram atic turn of events catches Franklin Roosevelt plotting Pacific strategy while the biggest break of the w ar is coming 5,000 miles away in Europe. Whether Roosevelt does anything m ore about it or not, however, you can write it down that Hitler and company are through. It’s just a question of how much Germ any can salvage be­ fore the last shot is fired. • • • MERRY-GO-ROUND «. The Berlin radio beam ed to Am erica tried a new propaganda trick the other night. An announcer, introducing a newscaster, said, "The views of this com m entator do not necessarily reflect the views of this station.” C. Army air corps officials say that Jacquelin Cochran, head of the W asps, barges into their offioes, poundte on their desks, says, “I used to work in a factory, I know what the little people want,” then delivers ultim atum s about her lady fliers. Burma Road Remains Important Military Object This section of the Burma road in China was taken by a signal corps photographer. The China-Burata- India theater of war contains 24 switchbacks as shown in this photograph. Even before America entered the war, engineers from American military and civil life were cooperating with the Chinese in the improvement and development of this highway system. The road is essential to China. It serves as the only Une of com­ munication, outside of air, that serves a vast portion of the country. The road has been under air bombard­ ment almost continuaUy since the start of the Chinese-Japanese war. America’s Answer to Nazi—Rocket Projectiles ~ w w - T ' ’ Loading Projectile Yank shown loading a projectile into the rocket armament of the far wing of the P-47 Thunderbolt. Arrows indicate the rocket pro­ jectiles, one on each side of the Thunderbolt. Nazis complain that the new rocket is “un­ fair” and does not give them sufficient op­ portunity to get under cover. U. S. army officials report that its effect will be in­ creased. M Rocket Armament of P-47 P-47 Thunderbolt has eight deadly .50- caliber machine guns in addition to tlic new rocket gun armament. Special train- 'tmum Am ing has been given the ground crew as Y B * *«s ’ - '.JM- well as members who operate the rocket " guns. . — ' - * America’s answer to the Nazi flying bomb has been the further development of the new rocket gun arma­ ment on the huge P-47, which not only can do as much damage as the flying bomb, but actually does many times as much, for the bombs can be accurately placed.

PBAKING !Poiisfl a R eleased by W estern N ew spaper Union. F IG U R E S from the nation’s race * tracks are sufficient evidence that horse racing has lost none of its popularity. With the season about half gone for many of the major tracks, bet­ ting totals are high enough to indi­ cate that just about every record will be broken in 1944. The present betting spree is unprecedented in American thoroughbred history. Just seven years ago the pari­ m utuel tracks totaled a fancy $266,000,000. T hat am ount was even greater than m any an enthusiast had predicted, but the follow-up has been Uttle short of phenomenal. Each year, since 1938, the betting handle has increased. In 1939 it mounted to $291,000,000, and in 1940 climbed to $408,000,000. Racing of­ ficials thought that the 1943 mark of $703,000,000 would stand for quite some time, but with the 1944 sea­ son slightly more than six months old, it is obvious that aU records are to be shattered thoroughly. H e a v y G ain s R e p o rte d The country’s biggest tracks are operating on a colossal basis. New York, Chicago, New England, Cali­ fornia and D etroit all report heavy gains. More than a billion dollars will have been w agered by bettors before the season’s end. It should be rem em bered, too, that this total is the legalized betting at the tracks. It has been estim ated that at least an equal am ount is wagered with illegal handbooks throughout the nation. When New York’s season passed the halfway m ark as the Saratoga 30-day m eet opened, indications were that by mid-November at least $400,000,000 will have been wagered, and the state treasury en­ riched by some $27,000,000. The New York estim ate is based on the assumption that the second half of the season will be com para- nie to the first. When the Em pire season ended, m arking the halfway point, the total betting for 96 days (97 were originally scheduled but races were cancelled on D-Day) cam e to $208,038,623.’ If the second half of the cam paign equals the first, the total would reach $416,077,246. And there is every reason to believe that betting won’t fall off at any of the m ajor tracks. During 1942 the average Detroit racing fan bet $26.96 every time he went to the Fair Grounds to aid in the improvement of the breed. In 1943 this average went up to $33.50. But in 1944 the average jumped to $39.04 and is still mounting. N e w Y o r k A v e ra g e However, New York continues to stay ahead in m atters of horse rac­ ing. During the racing at Jamaica, it was figured that the fans averaged $72 a day. When the New York races were -shifted' to- Behnont,■ the average jumped between $92 and $100 a person. Race track operators are quick to realize that such huge figures m ay in tim e work against them in the form of increased taxes. They have attem pted to solve this problem by m aking huge contributions to w ar relief agencies. During 1943 these war relief con­ tributions totaled $8,618,480.86. According to John N. Sabo, Detroit turf editor, m ore than $160,000,000 is invested in race tracks, horses and big breeding farm s. The estim ated value of the horses racing in the United States today is $55,000,000. “Actually,” Sabo writes, "under present-day high'prices of thorough­ breds, the total is greater. Horses which cost $1,500 two or three years ago now are unobtainable at twice that figure. “A good indication is the racer Pericles which W illiam A. Hellis of New Orleans purchased for $66,000 as an untried yearling. T h e ‘R a c in g S k y ’ It wasn’t so long ago that racing officials were having more than their share of trouble. The sport was being condemned quite widely as a wartime luxury—something that could be eliminated from the national scene without loss to mo­ rale. The tracks were making big money. And- tBey were a bit slow about contributing their share to war relief organizations. The contributions m ade by the tracks have been im pressive, but not out of proportion. Racing is big business—and extrem ely profitable. The sport not only can afford to be generous, it m ust be generous. It is too dependent upon the public’s good will to be anything else. SPORTS SHORTS Cleveland sport fans have donated $15,000 to a fund to provide playing equipm ent and free m edical care to sandlot ballplayers in the city.

Q U E E N S D I E P R O U D L Y W .N.U.TEATUftEJ CHAPTER XXIU “So the Major started out then on an ordinary box-search problem, trying to find this Cloncurry—you fly So many minutes north, and then feast, and Hien south, and then west, and then, lengthening your time, north again, and so on. We kept Ihis up for quite a while, but no Cloncurry,^ and our gas w a s running out. I’ll say this, though, the Major jure wasa’t running short of advice. What with his cockpit full bf air gen­ erals of all nations, he had plenty of that, and every different kind you can imagine—they all knew just what to do. “The trouble was, every time he paced from the nose of the plane back to the tail, it would throw the planes, out of balance, and Frank- here , would have to trim ship, in addition to all the questions he was answering. I guess this pacer had never thought of that. “By this time Frank had decided the only thing to do was to make a forced landing, so he was leaning over the side trying to pick a spot." “With all of those guys yammer­ ing at you, telling you what to do,” said/Red, "and this guy pacing. Only for a while he stopped, but just for a minute, while he was putting on a parachute. Why, I wouldn’t quite know. Because we were down to SOO feet, and if he did jump of course It would never have time to crack. But I didn’t say a word, because buckling himself in was keeping him quiet. Only right away he starts this pacing again, with the poor Ma­ jor trying to nose her down for a crash landing, and he tells me to tell them all to get back in the tail so it will act as a brake, only this guy starts pacing again. “Nowr‘1 was - getting the jumps, for even if the Major is the best pi­ lot in the business, a crash landing is no joke, even for old-timers. So I grabs this pacing guy and ‘Now look,’ I says to him. 'You may car- ty plenty of rank on your shoulders, but to this pilot you’re just two hun­ dred pounds of ballast. So now you quit shifting around—you get on back there and sit down.' And I herded him back to the very tip end of the plane, and pushed him down, parachute and all, on that little seat. You’ve probably been wondering all along, just where this little seat is, on a bomber. Well, it’s just where it would be any place else—even on a farm—all you do is follow the clothes line, back down to the end of the-grape arbor, and there she sets. “Well, I pushed him down on the seat, and in about a minute there -was quite a bump, but still it was a perfect three-point landing. In four seconds the Major had her rolling smooth. The ground was soft. Twenty-five tons is a lot of bomb­ er, and her wheels began to sink in —about six inches. But the Major could sense this, so he gave gas to all four engines to keep her rolling, and taxied her up to high ground hard enough to hold her up. “We got out.' Pretty soon Aus­ tralian ranchers begin crawling out of holes in the ground—I don’t know where else they came from—and right away Lieutenant Commander Johnson gets busy. He begins to get acquainted. They tell him where we are and some of them go off to get a truck to take us into town -where we can telephone, and more keep coming, and Johnson is shak­ ing hands all around, and he comes back and tells us these are real folks—the best darn folks in the world, except maybe the folks in his own Texas. Pretty soon he knows all their first names, and they’re telling him why there ought to be a high tariff on wool, and there’s no question he swung that county for Johnson before we left. He was in his element. I know he sure swung . the Swoose crew. He can carry that precinct any day.” ‘‘Listening to him made us all homesick,” said Frank, “so I sup­ pose it was a good thing we got suddenly ordered back to the States at the end of the month. In a curi­ ous way I was ready now to come. I’d turned it down before, because after we were thrown out of Java we all had that sick feeling—trying to hold onto something that was slipping away in spite of everything you did. You couldn’t walk out feeling things might suddenly cave in again. “But now it was different. In Australia and that island chain above we were getting firmly set, the way we should have been in the Philippines and Java, and didn’t have time. “But we’d had it now, and knew how to use it. Best of all, we were finally getting some fighting equip­ ment, not just production figures. So even though we were soaking up plenty of heavy punches in the is­ land chain, we were sure now we coidd at least hold them. But as yet I hadn’t dar<;d hope for much more. “Only now I come to the thing which at last changed that, because I had to see it before I could believe it. “It happened out on that long trans-Pacific trail where we’ve al­ most worn ruts in the sky between the States and Australia. It was like this. We were letting down for one of the island steppingstones which, according to Harry’s naviga­ tion, should be somewhere ahead of us. It was very early in the morn­ ing. Harry's the best navigator in the business, and he had said we should be in there six hours from the time we left the last island. But of course his figures could be a little out, or maybe the wind drift would change—you never know. The Pacific is too big a place to take chances in, as Eddie Rickenbacker’s party found out. So after we’d been out five hours we got the island on the radio, and asked them to give us searchlights, just so we wouldn’t miss their little pinpoint in the dawn. “We’d flown without change of course for five hours. Now Harry took his final shots and we started down the line to that island. Harry had said six hours—it took us just five hours and fifty-seven minutes. The' island?was-: an atoll- around a shallow basin where Navy PBY fly­ ing boats could light. The atoll is two feet above high tide at its high point. On one side are labor con­ struction tents, a cantonment build­ ing for the tiny garrison, ack-ack, searchlights, and even a tiny movie theater. On the other side is the landing strip. I’ll swear Harry must have navigated not for the island, but for that landing strip itself. For without - change-of course, all we have to do is let our wheels down. Some day I want Eddie Rickenback- er to meet Harry. “As we climbed out of the Swoose, the island garrison asked us, very excited, ‘Did you see anything?’ When we said we hadn’t, they went off by themselves, whispering. I wanted to know what was up, so I asked their Colonel. Told him we were on an important mission our­ selves—had a top-ranker aboard— and what did he expect here at this atoll? ‘ ‘Trouble/ he said./ Looking-at his little setup, I couldn’t help think­ ing of those poor guys who were overwhelmed on Wake Island. But the Colonel wasn't sure what kind of trouble was coming. He only knew orders had mysteriously come put­ ting the Navy patrol planes on extra-long hours, doubling shifts. Somewhere, somebody was certain­ ly on the lookout for something, and those poor devils had to sit on that atoll and guess what it might be. “It didn’t smell good. We gassed up and got out forty-five minutes lat­ er, just as it was cracking dawn. By now, the equatorial front had dissolved into a spotted ceiling. I suppose we’d been going an hour when, through a hole in this ceiling, out -suddenly popped four or five ships down on the wrinkled sea. But I could only look at one of them. “Now you think you’re a man, with everything under control, yet I’m telling you I reacted to this one the way a fox terrier does to a rat. Because it was a whopping aircraft carrier! And after Java and the Philippines, say ‘carrier’ to a pilot, and he steadies everything for his bomb run, tense as a violin string, hoping his bombardier has the hair­ lines of his bomb sight crossed on its flight deck just over the engine room. It’s like a bird dog pointing quail, with his tail tip quivering. Only, after half a second, I’m a man again and can think, can re­ member we haven’t any bombs swinging on their shackles in our bomb bays—nothing we can drop on this beautiful target but the high- ranking passenger who is riding with us. “Then comes reaction number two. -No bombs, but what about the carrier’s covering fighters? You talk about a mother tiger fighting for her young—that’s nothing to the way a patrolling carrier fighter will defend its mother ship. Because every car­ rier-based fighter knows that once his carrier is hit and the waves be­ gin to sweep over that long flight deck, and one end of her hoists up in the air, then he’s out in the big sky by his lonesome—no pontoons, noth­ ing to do but sink into the sea when his tanks are dry. Those Zeros will come screaming in to hit me from almost any cloud. Since I can’t make a bomb run, I must get away quick! "But now, over the interphones, comes a shout—they’ve spotted an­ other carrier. I look and see it too. Then another! And now—my God, it can’t be, but it is—four! It makes us frantic we haven’t got something to plunk through those smooth flight decks into their engine rooms, and maybe blow a few square yards out of the bottom of their hulls! “Only we now grow cold, because where are the escorting fighters? We can’t speed up, because they should be up ahead, but they might show up any place—come leaping up at us out of this fleecy blanket of over­ cast like dolphins jumping through the foam. “Down there are not only four carriers but a gang of other stuff— a fog of destroyers, at least fifteen cruisers, and one thundering big .bat­ tleship. Only as a bomber pilot I’m fixed on those carriers, enormous brutes. Too enormous. Say, what’s going on? Because Jap carriers are Uttle devils—you can hardly pack forty planes into them, while these might hold double that, like our best ones. Now wait. Maybe we’re too low and these just look big, but no—I glance at the altimeter and we’re at 7,500. “So they’re ours! This big parade of surface strength is us Ameri­ cans! I change course just the same —30 degrees, swinging wide of this big nava! parade, because we can take no chances on their air patrol. Even an American carrier fighter, when he sees a bomber over his mother ship, should shoot first and ask questions later. We don’t want to tangle with Grummans. “We swing out wide and away, but with what a different feeling! “Well, I guess that’s about all, except on our homeward trip, we cracked the trans-Pacific record wide open. The old Swoose, with her war-worn motors, made it from Brisbane to San Francisco in thirty- six hours ten minutes flying time, the only one of the original 35 on Clark Field to see home again.” “When they said long distance was calling from San Francisco, ol course that didn’t mean anything to me,” said Margo. “With two broth­ ers in the Air Corps, one in bom­ bardment and one in pursuit, it might be either one. Then I heard Frank’s own voice saying ‘Margo?’ Because I hadn’t heard any over­ seas operators, or any censor click­ ing in, I knew he must be here in the States. For the first time I could cry on the phone . . . It’s nice to be strong, but so much more fun to let down when you can, and I did.” (THE END) TF ANY Hollywood movie lays an egg this year it will surely be a golden one, ’cause our movie moguls have cooked up the most elaborate, ambitious, and expensive program in the; history of this industry. The period 1943-’44 is known as the Year of the Big Take in movie circles. Box office returns hit a new high, exceeding, even producers’ wildest nightmares. If there ever was a time when movie men could get away with a slap-dash prod­ uct, now is that time. But, true to the counter-clock­ wise method of working, for which they take so much ribbing, the boys are planning films I * Gregory^Peck Rosa Stradaer with multimillion budgets and enough star names in the cast to choke a horse. Well, that’s Holly­ wood for you. Darryl Zanuckt never one to do anything by halves, wiped all B pic­ tures off the slate and came up with two super-films—“Wilson" and “The Keys of the Kingdom”—which top anything before attempted in size, outlay, and big-name casts. "The Keys of the Kingdom” is the logical Academy award rival to “Wilson,” since it is in black and white and the latter in technicolor, which makes both films- eligible ,for the Oscar, “The Keys” also has an all-star cast, although Gregory Peck and Rosa Stradner, who play the most important roles, have each had but one previous Hollywood film ex­ perience. But they’ve both had fine theatrical training. In Lighter Vein With these two films as a sample, and the B’s thrown into the discard, Twentieth’s staff of producers has had some reorganizing to do, but quick. The upshot is a program lean­ ing heavily on musicals — extrava­ gant musicals'that will rival the big­ gest attractions on Broadway. M^ro-Goldwyn-Mayer has much the same idea. It’s going to be a struggle in this era of super-produc- tions to see whether William Perl- berg’s musical can outdo Jack Cum­ mings’ “Little Bit of Heaven." Or whether “The Ziegfeld Follies,” into which Arthur Freed has thrown the two top dancing men of the world to­ day— Fred Astaire and Gene K elly- plus Fanny Brice, Jimmy Durante, Jndy Garland, John Hodiak, Lena Horne, James Melton, Marion Bell, Victor Moore, Mickey Rooney, and Red Skelton, can make a bigger noise than Perlberg’s “State Fair,” for which Richard Rodgers and Os­ car Hammerstein have written mu­ sic which Twentieth: claims will out- Oklahoma “Oklahoma.” Say Jt With Mvme Ira Gershwin and Kurt Weil are responsible for the tunes in “Where Do We Go from Here,” Morrie Ryskind’s story of a 4-F. Agnes De MiQe, C. B.’s talented niece, will do the dance routines. Metro has an answer to this in “Music for Millions,” in which Jose Iturbi and Margaraet O’Brien are drawing cards. With Larry Adler’s harmonica, Jimmy Durante and Hugh Herbert for laughs, how can it lose? Warners have “Hollywood Canteen,” also “Rhapsody in Blue,” the story of George Gershwin’s life. Georgie Jessel is music-minded, too. His “Kitten on the Keys” calls for a hunk of stars. Includes Dick Haymes, Perry Como, and both Benny Goodman and Jimmy Dorsey, That Lubitsch Touch Ernst Lubitsch’s main concern centers about “Czarina,” the sa­ tiric comedy which will be Tallulah Bankhead’s next. Charles Coburn has been signed to play the chan­ cellor; also Vincent Prioe has a big part. “Dragonwyck,” the story of the Dutch patroons, is another Lu- bitsch epic for Gene Tierney and Gregory Peck. Bette Davis ripens “The Corn Is Green.” And the set­up for “Roughly Speaking” includes Roz Russell and Jaclc Carson. The Ingrid Bergman-Gary Cooper spe­ cial, “Saratoga Trunk,” will soon be seen, and “The Conspirators,” with Hedy Lamarr and Paul Hen- reid, can’t fail to please the eye. Yes, producers would seem to be fighting hard for those long, long lines of patrons that bulge the wall* of every movie house in the land. Step in Right Direction Al Pearce believes talented ama­ teurs who’re entertaining our troops in the camp shows will be stars of tomorrow. So Pearce has made ar­ rangements with his boss, Herb Yates of Republic, to give six of them an opportunity in "Strictly for Laughs,” which gets under way in September. . . . “This Is the Army” is doing such a morale build­ ing job for men at the front that the government’s thinking of sending it to South Pacific bases. —- Vanity Table From Few Odds and Ends H AVE you a mirror from an old dresser?

Lack of Machinery Calls for Sharing Million of Workers Needed for *44 Harvest Wiih Sie harvest season well un- 4er way in most farming areas, the VnUem of getting enough labor and naefainery to do the job at the right Iuee ts again present. ’ W b little or no prospect of more fesge combines and labor-saving ■gnpment for haying this season, He War Food administration is urg- Ssg SDiall grain producers to make th e greatest possible use of existing sadunery. Owners of combines sellable for custom work will have to hdp their neighbors to insure Iksinest of the crop. Sharing of all tyjaa of equipment will be neces- cijy, says WFA, but the production schedules have run far behind on heavy machinery. Custom use of large combines and tte mere expensive types of haying nacbines would be necessary even % manufacturers had completed Shetr production schedules on time, • is planted out, as a result of cur- Iailiwt manufacture since the begin- afag of the war ancl the failure of incBe old machines to carry through. Aadaction of corn pickers was re­ volted as lagging in late spring, in i there .were prospects of a step-up M k i ihe harvest. Shortages of ■napower for manufacturing plants «ad Cf component parts for the ma- rtm w are reported as largely re- jQiiriirible for production delays. Bmphasis is also being given to Ac need for keeping old machines in SfHop condition. While most farm* «B will have checked over their Hnif nent before harvest time, to MMiii breakdowns after the begin- :4B g of the work season, frequent A idHips during the period of op­ eration are also essential to efficient It is anticipated that some four ■B b a volunteer urban workers will Iieicqiiired to complete the harvest, fm farm population is at a 30-year 9n> sad those remaining on farms need every bit of help they can get. Stem labor requirements are based I Cmn production goals, set at an- r record-breaking level for 1944. Bequirements for volunteer farm Saboc are for two million men, 1,200,- OT-toys-and girls, and 800,000 worn- ok. In addition to increased use of and part-time workers, and sive local community recruiting labor recruitments include imported labor from Mexico, Jamaica, the Bahamas and other nearby countries, and a number of available prisoners of war. Ptecessing plants handling large qpatities of the food produced by ! ■ r r l c a ’a farmers are also in need ne 750,000 part-time workers be- > the end of the year. Farm Income Moving Toward a New High After Teaching a record high figure Sfc 1943, farm cash income has con­ d o n ed to show expansion in 1944, v tc c rd in g to the Alexander Hamil- t a institute. Although government l o e f i t payments during the first porter dropped to $224,000,000 this y e a r from $271,000,000 last year, this 'S eerease was more than offset by a gam in receipts from marketings. Total farm income in the first IBEter this year amounted to ^QiSU.OOO^OO as against $3,968,000,- M® is the same period last year, an increase of 13.7 per cent. The in- sx ease in receipts from sales was dae partly to a 5.3 per cent higher jasce level' for farm products and partly to a gain of 10.1 per cent in Jfee quantity sold. Tha price level of goods which the feraners bought was 8.0 per cent than a year ago in the first sjaarter. This was more than offset iy the gain in income and, conse­ quently, the farmers’ purchasing $ewer showed a 5.2 per cent rise, feis gain in purchasing power, how­ ever, was made in the first two immihs. In March, the farmers’ purchasing power was slightly entailer than a year ago, thus pro­ viding support to the present expec­ tation that the farmers' purchasing S ew er for the year as a whole will be MoaBss than in 1943 despite a record J&ga income in 1944. Ibe farmers’ cash income in 1944 Si now estimated at $20,011,000,000 as compared with the previous high mecoxd of $19,764,000,000 in 1943. The fecrease which is now indicated will K ft b e sufficient to offset the pros- jptetive higher price level of goods Itoight by the farmers. Consequent­ l y , tbe outlook is that the farmers’ ijrachasing power in 1944 will be 3.4 &ss efcnt ■ smaller than in 1943.

Tips There’s nothing like the great out- of-doors to produce great appetites. And there’s noth­ ing that tastes so good as food eat­ en in the great wide spaces in sand, under the pines amid the smoke of a fire. Our recipes and suggestions today are designed to fit those who want to do part of their cooking at home, and finish when they arrive at the picnic. It is easy to lay out a swell spread when everything is well or­ ganized and planned ahead. You’ll like the recipes because they're not fancy. They do make for some downright good eating, though, and will give you a grand experience in outdoors eating. Food is best packed in hampers or tied in cloth. It’s easiest to carry that way. If you have anything breakable, use a metal container. Best Type of Fire. For those of you who want1 to cook outdoors, use the trapper type of fire. Never start cooking until the wood has burned and is a bed of glowing red coals. To make this type of fire, place 2 medium sized logs (green) 6 to 8 inches apart. Be­tween these set up dry twigs and shavings. C arry som ething that will make the fire stcirt easily, a bit of tissue paper with a few dry twigs. The logs can be adjusted to fit the cooking utensil. Our recipe round-up starts - with the favorite hamburgers. ' If you snuggle in the extra cheese, you’ll like the flavor: All-American Hamburgers. (Serves 6) VA pounds hamburger % cap milk . I teaspoon salt Dash of pepper % pound American cheese 4 tablespoons butter 6 buttered buns Mix meat with milk, salt and pep­ per. Form 12 thin patties > of the meat about 3 inches in diameter. Cut 6 slices of cheese slightly small­ er than meat patties and place the cheese in between the meat patties, sandwich-fashion. Seal edges well. Melt butter in a skillet and fry the patties slowly for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve on toasted buns. Hot Cheese Frankfurters. (Serves 10) 20 frankfurters 20 slices of bacon % pound sharp cheese Split frankfurters lengthwise and* fill with long strips of cheese. Wind a strip of bacon, spirally, around each frankfurter and fasten at ends with toothpicks. Toast on forks or long-handled toasters over fire until bacon is browned and cheese is melted. Place in a hot toasted roll and serve with relish. Creamy Scrambled Eggs. (Serves 6) 6 eggs Ya cup milk Lynn Says Campfire Cozy: Make sure the drinking water is safe on your camping trip. Boiled water al­ ways is, sparkling water isn’t nec­essarily. A hole dug in the earth in the shade of the tree, lined with small stones makes a nice outdoor re­ frigerator. Moist caves, fallow underground streams, small drops or falls are all good “re­ frigerators.” Be sure to put your campfire out. Water is the best thing, soil next best. » , A canoe paddle makes an ex­ cellent bread board or a checker board! Paint squares as for checkers and play with cookies or candies. Lynn .Chambers’ Picnic Menn •Bacon Sandwich •Roasted Corn Cherry Tomatoes Cocoa •Rocks Fresh Fruit •Recipes Given Yt teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons butter % cup diced American cheese if desired Beat the eggs well. Add salt and pepper, if desired. Melt butter in heavy skillet and pour eggs into pan, stirring well as the mixture begins to thicken. When eggs are partially cooked, add cheese. Serve chi toast when thick. Do not overcook. Bacon is a grand outdoor appetite tempter. It is also an important concentrated source of food energy that you’ll need after working hard outdoors. If you are frying bacon at the pic­ nic, then this is ,the best method,,to follow: Place the strips in a cold skillet over a low fire. Turn fre­ quently until all parts of bacbn are evenly crisp but not brittle. Do not let fat smoke. For extra crispi- ness, drain off the fat as the bacon cooks. Bacon Sandwich. To make delectable sandwiches, fry the bacon as directed above with thicks slices of fried onion and to­ matoes served on toasted buns. Have you caught some fish? Noth­ ing will taste better than a chowder made in a chowder , kettle, over a bed of coals: , Fish Chowder. (Serves 8)5 slices bacon, diced 3 medium onions, diced 2 pounds fresh fish, boned Z teaspoons salt I teaspoon pepper 5 to 6 medium potatoes, sliced or diced I quart milk 1 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons flour Fry bacon and onion together un­ til onion is light brown. Cut fish into small pieces and rub with salt and pepper. Add potatoes to chowder kettle. Cover with boiling water and cook 30 minutes. Blend flour with % cup milk. Add remaining milk to fish and stir in flour mixture. Add butter, simmering constantly. When mixture thickens, serve in soup bowls with crackers. Like vegetables cooked outdoors? Then, here is one: Roast Corn. Use fresh sweet corn. Remove corn silk but leave husks on. Dip the ear, husk and all into a pail of water and lay on a grate over a hot bed of coals. The water turns into steam within the husk coating and thus cooks the com, making it steamy and juicy instead of dry and tasteless. Corn may also be roasted by burying in the ashes. Cookies and fruit make the ideal campfire dessert. Take cookies easy to carry such, as: Rocks. (Makes 5 dozen) I cup shortening ' 1?4 cups brown sugar 3 eggs I teaspoon cinnamon V\ teaspoon cloves 3 cups sifted flour 1 teaspoon soda IYa cups walnuts 2 cups raisins Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and beat well. Add sifted dry ingredients, chopped nuts and rai­ sins. Drop from spoon onto greased cookie sheet and bake in a mod­ erate (350-degree) oven. If you wish additional instruction for canning fruit or berries, write to Miss Lynn Chambers, 210 South Desplaines Street, Chicago 6, Illinois: Please en­ close stamped, self-addressed envelope for your reply.

ISRAEL’S FIRST EING LESSON TEXT—I Sam uel 9:15.21; 10:25- 27; 11:12-19. GOLDEN TEXT—Honor all m en. Love Ihe brotherhood. F e a r God.' Honoc, ttu? king. —I P eter 2:17. "Well begun is half done," says the old proverb, reminding us of the importance of a good beginning. While it does not guarantee success (see next week’s lesson), it is emi­ nently desirable, and truly helpful. Israel bad foolishly tired of being a God-ruled nation and had begun to demand a king. Samuel was directed of God to the man of His choice, Saul, in a very remarkable way. He entered upon his service as king as an obedient and earnest ruler. (Would..God that he had continued in that way!) We note a number of favorable elements which indicated the possi­ bility of a successful reign. He was— I. Wanted by the People (9:15, 16). A ruler forced upon a nation is sure of opposition, but here the peo­ ple were clamoring for a king to rule over them. The way was wide open to the interest and the affection of their hearts. Saul was just the type to please them. Physically he was head and shoulders above the people —a desired thing in a ruler (see 10:23). He was mentally fitted (10: 25)—humble (9:21), spiritually right (10:6-9), tolerant and kindly (11:13), and a good military leader (ch. 11). n. Chosen by God (9:17). AU these qualities commended Saul to God as well as to the people. In fact, he was God’s choice. A man could not enter upon high of­ fice with any more auspicious token for good. Observe that what looked like a purely chance visit to Samuel, when Saul was on business for his father, was the occasion for the making known of God’s choice. Out of a simple experience in daily life came an event which changed his entire destiny. III. Anointed by the Prophet (9: 18-20). The man of God’s choice had met God’s man, Samuel, who proceeded to instruct him, and to privately anoint him as king. It was a tender scene. The aged prophet, rejected by the people as God’s ruler over them, quietly and sweetly obeyed God’s command to anoint the young man to be king. Public recognition, which came later, was important, but, with Saul as with every servant of the Lord, the personal anointing of God, in the hidden place of communion with Him, was the matter of highest im­ portance. IV. Humble in Attitude (9:21). That pride, which was ultimately to be Saul’s downfall, was beauti­ fully absent at the beginning of his reign. Although of good family, and well-equipped, he saw hifaself as poor and insignificant, not ready for such an honor. That is the right attitude for one who is to serve God. Pride and self- assurance do not befit the man who stands in the. presence of the Al­ mighty. V. Guided by Principle (10:25). Saul did not enter upon his office, new as it was to both him and to Israel, without a Constitution, that is, without principles of action. Samuel, the Lord’s prophet, wrote down “the manner of the kingdom” in a book. How interesting, and how important. Rulers who imagine themselves so wise that they need no controlling laws, and so powerful that the law may not question their decisions, are certainly not rulers after God’s plan. Knowing the heart of man, his weakness and pride, God has provided true principles by which the ruler is to be guided, yes and controlled. VI. Forgiving in Spirit (10:26-27; 11:12, 13). Some “worthless fellows” de­ spised Saul and would not recog­ nize him as king. The urge of the flesh was to destroy them, and espe­ cially did that seem propef because of their worthless nature. But Saul, in true kingly spirit, said that there was to be no revenge, just rejoicing. To be of the right spirit toward one’s enemies is the hall mark of Christian character. VII. Established in Office (11: 14, 15). While there is the secret whisper of God in the heart, and the per­ sonal anointing by the Lord’s serv­ ant, there should be the public rec­ ognition which establishes the Lord’s servant in the eyes of all people. Saul had this at Gilgal. It placed him among the kings of the earth, and prepared the way for his deal­ ing with other nations as well as with his own people. Applying that truth to those who serve Christ, we say that there is upon the church the obligation to recognize God's call and anointing by giving that official recognition which sets the testimony and serv ice of the individual free to exer­ cise itself among men in general S E W IN G C IR C L E P A T T E R N S Jiffy Play Set Is Simple to Make 19881-5 yr*. Jiffy Play Set IpVEN though you’ve never cut out a single garment in your life, you can make this one-piece play frock and matching one-piece sun hat in an afternoon! It’s the simplest set to cut, sew and laun­ der you’ve ever seen. Most light bulbs have a life of from 1,000 to 3,000 hours. You will save bulbs and electricity by turn­ ing them off when not needed. Use good quality bulbs of the right size for your needs. A 100-watt bulb gives more light, costs less to buy and less to operate than two 60-watt bulbs. Buy lights with the proper voltage rating for your current.—•— To fasten something to angle iron posts, cotter pins will prove much better than short tie wires. Spread and slip the keys over the fence , wires, then insert them ,.in the holes in the iron post, after which they are clinched tightly. Hang a good-sized bag in the sewing room to receive scraps from sewing to be used for weekly mending.—•— Quartered lemons add the "something sour” that baked beans need and make a good look­ ing garnish as well. Try keeping the peanut butter jar upside down on the pantry shelves between trips to the ta­ ble. The alternate turning it re­ ceives this way helps keep the oil distributed through the entire jar. Try cutting the outside leaves of cauliflower into inch-long pieces, and, when done, creaming with white sauce. When making feather mattresses and pillow ticks, dampen a bar of laundry soap and rub all over the inside of the ticking. This pre­ vents the feathers from working out through the cover fabric. Pack all apples individually in newspapers before putting in a barrel. They keep better this way. Roads and Cities Were Built by Salt and Incense Salt and incense were the chief economic and religous necessities of the ancient world, and most of its great commercial routes were established because of them. One of the oldest roads in Italy is the “Via Salaria.” The salt route from Greece to the mouth of the Dnie­ per led to the same salt pans that supply the Far East today in nor­ mal times. It can be said that London was built by salt, for the first settle­ ment on the banks of the Thames owed its origin to the fact that there rested the pack-trains carry­ ing salt from Cheshire en route to the shores of the channel for ex­ port to Gaul.

By buying Bonds you become a stockholder in the strongest “going” concern in the world today, the United States of America. THE EDITOR. Dick Tracy By Chester Gonld LOAN Oet 94 for 93 out of your CHRISTMAS savings — In­ vest In WAR BONDS. Keep on BACKING THE ATTACK. The Farmer and War Bonds by Mr. A. S. Goss MaHer of the National Grange XITE FREQUENTLY hear farm- VV ers raise the question as to whether or not they should buy War Bonds as long as they are in debt. The answer to this question should depend in large measure upon the nature of the debt and whether or not it is current. If part of it is past due, and the borrower expects to experience difficulty in meeting past due payments, he probably should bring his debt into current position before investing in Bonds. If, however, his pay­ments are current, there seems to be no reason why farmers should not buy as many Bonds as they are able. Most individual invest­ors in government Bonds are car­ rying debt in one form or an­ other, at rates higher than the Bonds will yield. This is as it should be if the purchaser is in an earning position which permits the accumulation of some surplus, for we all owe it to our government to do our utmost in the financing of the war, even though the trans­action may result in our paying some extra interest on outstand- ingdebts.When a farmer owes money, he is always concerned as to whether his crops will sell at prices which will enable him to repay his debt. When prices are high it is good business and conservative finance to reduce the debt as rapidly as possible because when prices are low, it takes more crops and more efforts to make the payments. We should not forget, how­ever, that a government Bond will pay off an equal amount of dollars of debt, no matter whether prices are high or whether prices are low. It is, therefore, a sound and con­servative practice to buy gov­ernment Bonds and lay them aside to make payments on existing debts when they fall due. In fact, quite aside from the patriotic appeal, it is good business to buy Btmds rather than make pre-payments on debt, because the time may come when the ready cash is needed and the money tied up in pre-payments cannot be re­turned. If this money is in­vested in Bonds, it can be con­ verted into cash to meet any needs which may arise. If everyone followed the policy of buying no War Bonds until their debts were paid, few Bonds would be sold to the public. We have an obligation to help finance this war which is vastly more important than the income we may receive on the investment of money in War Bonds. Farmers are finding it impossi­ ble to maintain their machinery and buildings in a satisfactory state of repair. They are finding that they cannot replace worn-out equipment except at excessively high cost. It would seem to be sound and conservative business practice to lay aside money to make the repairs and re­place w orn-out equipm ent when material and machines are again available. No safer place can be found to lay aside money for such purposes than In government Bonds. Every time we buy a Bond we are not only assisting in financing the war, but we are also doing our bit to prevent that most dreaded economic disaster called inflation. If each one of us would invest as much as we could in government Bonds, the danger of inflation .would be greatly reduced.

Treasury Department Buv aud Keep War Bonds by C. 0. Noble Head, Dept, of Agricultural Economic University of Florida F A R M E R S of this Nation are 1 performing a magnificent job of essential food production during the present em ergency, in spite of their great handicaps in obtaining the necessary m aterials, equip­ m ent, m achinery, and labor. Due to their determ ination to do a good job and to favorable prices for farm commodities, they are re­ ceiving higher net incomes than during the twenty-year pre-w ar pe­ riod. Tiie question arises as to the wisest use to m ake of these net incomes that will hasten the winning cf this w ar and at the sam e tim e assist in preventing dangerous inflation during and im­ mediately following the war. Farm ers, hke all other workers on the home front, are not satis­ fied with m e r e ly doing well the job that is expected of them . They are eagerly on the alert for other ways tr ey m ay help to bring peace at the earliest moment. As I see it, the wisest use a farm er could m ake of his current net income v/ou'd be to: I. Keen the form in condition to produce to its full capacity. This is extrem ely difficult due to short­ ages of m aterials, equipment, m a­ chinery ar.d labor: but it is being done by all good farm ers. Much attention m ust be given to keeping m achinery in good repair and to m aking the m ost efficient use of labor. 2. AVoid new m ortgage indebted­ ness, and reduce present indebted­ ness beyond the original plan, if practicable. M eet all paym ents for borrowed working capital when due. 3. Place every dollar not utilized in m aintaining a healthy farm business into W ar Bonds and plan to hold on to these Bonds until they m ature, or until after the w ar em ergency has passed. This will be the best known m ethod to help finance the w ar, to help prevent inflation, and at the sam e tim e to build up the investor’s financial re­ serves for the post-war period. You will note that no mention has bean m ade of personal con­ sum ption expenses. These should be kept down to the bare mini­ mum. Our rationing system is a great aid in holding down spending for consum er goods, but every pa­ triotic citizen should think m any tim es before purchasing an arti­ cle that is not an absolute ne­ cessity. If W ar Bonds are pur­ chased first and with the determi­ nation of holding them to m aturi­ ty, it will be surprising that we can do without so m any supposed necessities. V.

Walter E. Isenhour. Hiddenite. N. C. I saw a youth go forth one day Who met the truth nlong the way; Saidtruth to youth, “ Come go with me. I'll make vou noble as can be; I’ll lead you far from every wrong And build you up and make you strong For God and His eternal cause, And keep you true to nature’s laws Said youth to truth, " I’ll go with vou And trust your strength to take me through This world of sin, with every lest. Because I want to do my best To live for God and all that’s right, And be a burning, shining light. So when my race on earth is run I’ll hear my Master say, well done. I saw the youth begin to climb And rise in life to things sublime; His alms were high, his purpose good; He used bis time as each one sholud He formed no Uabits bad nor vile, Though others said, “He’s out of style;” He proved himself a noble youth And on and on he followed truth. He lived a life upright and clean. And shunned the low and vile and mean; He didn’t steal, he didn’t lie. Nor serve the devil on the sly; His face was bright, his eyes were clear, As on he iourneyed year by year Along the road that leads to God Which blessed, saintly men have trod. In after years I saw this youth. Whose strength and leader was the truth, Come up to grand and hoary age, Like some blest patriarch or sage; And looking back across the past Hesaid, “ I’m nearing home at last; Then soon he went to meet his Lord And to receive his rich reward. Although he didn’t reach a throne And cause a monument of stone To be erected to his name To long perpetuate his fame. His sons and daughters oall him great And strive his good to emulate, While hundreds live for God today Because he led them in this way. Still At It While Franklin D. Rooseveit and various New Dealers promise full poat-war employment, the WPB and the Army and Navv are taking part in a knock-down-drag-out fight in Washington as to the extent indus­ try will be allowed to reconvert dur­ ing the war. As this newest battle on the Poto* mac goes on, thousands of small in­ dustries are unable to make plans for reconversion, although many of them are unable to make plans for recon­ version, although many of them ob­ viously have filled all war cantracts and will soon have nothing else to to manufactuxe. The Washington aim, even this NeM Deal, is to keep everything con fused so that nobody will know what is being done—or why. A New “Emergency” Washingtonians a-e setting appre hensive again. Three new emer­ gency buildings are being construct­ ed on Independence Avenue near the Smithsonian Institution, although it is a matter of common knowledge that half of the "emergency” build ings which have been constructed since the war began are not being utilized to capacity. One cab*Driver opines that maybe the New Deal is going to man the new emergency buildings with straw men. He pointed out that the pa­ pers are full of pleas to staff the a- gencies already in existence and be wonders how the New Deal is going to fill up these new buildings. Democratic Leader De­ nounces Roosevelt Baltimore—Howard W. Jackson, attacking President Roosevelt’s 4th term candidacy in a strongly-word­ ed statement, said he would vote in November ‘‘against one-man Government, against Earl Browder and Sidney HtUman ” The Democratic party leader and four-time Mayor of Baltimore, who was defeated for re-election by Re­ publican Theodore R.. McEeldin last year, issued his statement in reply to a charge by the city party chairman, Harold A. Keene, that tne former mayor previously had bolted the party. “If I had been against the nom inees of the Democratic party in 1928, '34, ’38 and ’40,” Mr. Jack­ son declared, “I would have said so as I am now doing in reference to a candidate—President Roose­ velt -who long since in my judge­ ment has ceased to be a Democrat. “ I am for many of the principles of the Roosevelt administration— unemployment insurance, Old-Ege pensions, aid for dependent child­ ren, collective bargaining Twhicb shonld he a two-way and not a one­ way street) and guarantee of bank deposits “ But I am against most of his adminisrrative policies. He has played politics with labor-manage- ment and with radical groups, pur­ ged members of Congress who would not be subservient to him; ordered Congress to pass legisla­ tion of doubtful constitutionality, endeavored to organize the Su­ preme Court and make it subject to his views. ‘‘He piled bureau on top of bu­ reau; he serves the radicals; he commits us to so many things that we do not know our obligations and liabilities, actual and contingent; he pretends to distribute wealth, which cannot be done; he favors legislation to limit income.” “ He is dissipating the wealth of the Nation,” Mr. Jackson contin­ ued, “as evidenced by the fact that 1930-1940 is the only decade in American history in which the wealth of the Nation did not in­ crease. “ We cannot make the rich poor without making the poor poorer. If we cannot accumulate wealth, all become poor except the ruling classes. When government can do no wrong, individuals have no rights. “ I am against government In peacetime that spends $2 and col­ lects only $1.” Make It Simple An Ohio farmer’s wife wrote the OPA asking for the price of turkeys, received in reply 30,000 words of printed matter, then in desperation wrote her Congressman, “I still do not know the price of turkeys. It would take a Philadelphia lawyer to ciper it out. Is’t there something that can be done to make them an­ swer a simple question aimply?” An X mark after your name means you owe us. To Wives and Parents of Soldiers 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. How Do You Like It? While we hear daily about an a- cute manpower shortage in this country and while the Army is handicapped by an acute shortage of truck tires needed to keep ar­ mament rolling, Ray Tucker tells us in his widely puolished Nation - al Whirligig column that “the Na­ tion’s the plants have all the per­ sonnel they need to prod .ice the maximum amount of casings want­ ed by essential military and civilian services.” The only reason they cannot meet General Eisenhower's re­ quirements. declares Mr. Tucker, is that “ Mr. Hillman’s unions will not permit their members to do a full day’s work . . . “ Au experienced band can turn out about 14 or 15 tires in the ordi­ nary working day, but C. I O. re­ gulations provide that maximum pioduction must be measured by tne output of the most inefficient man in the factory. His total comes to about 10 casings a day.” How do you like that—you whose sons, husbands, and brothers are fighting and winning the war aud you who are making sacrifices to do your part on the home front? Mr. Tucker further asserts—and many others in a position to know the facts have said the same in ef­ fect—that Hon. James F. Byrnes last month went to Chicago “ with the assurance of White House backing for the Number Two place. But . . . Sidney Hillman served notice on the White House that he would bolt the Democrats if the South Carolinian’s services were recognized in any way . . . He was shunted because a powerful la­ bor leader turned thumbs down on him.” And how do yon like that evid ence of power in the bands of the czar of the organization that de­ crees rubber plant workers making acutely-needed tiies tor our boys “over there” shall produce daily only as much as "the most ineffi cient man in the factory" while the army in these critical days grapples with an acute shortage of truck tires and the Nation worries over a manpower shortage? How do vou like the power Mr. Hillman exercises In the Democra tic party', in the armament factori es and in the White House?—Char lotte Observer. BUY S m IR BONDS Notice of Sale!

Child Neglect Is Criti­ cised. Delinquent conduct of mothers in this area has necessitated the tak­ ing of stern steps bv the Norfolk County Department of Public Wel­ fare to protect the children. Since last Thursday 12 children whose mothers have left them lock­ ed dp by themselves for hours, or otherwise neglected them, have been reported to the Welfare De­ partment. W. L. Murphy, superintendent of the Welfare Department, said this morning that such behavior will not be tolerated. In all the cases reported in the last week, the husbands of the wo men are In the service It has been necessary to take four of the children and put them in foster homes Some of the mothers have received jaiI sentences up to 90 days in court, and the Welfare Department may find it necessary to prosecute others The mothers, whose children have been put in foster homes, may never get back the custody of their babies. Before they can re­ gain this custody, they must prove that they are fit parents. Fathers, who are at sea or on foreign soil, must be notified and in some extreme cases brought home to straighten out their family af­ fairs. This entitle* much expense for them, and cause a bad break in their morale. Worry about their children and their wives will often make a man unfit for military ser­ vice. Mr. Murphy says tlie trouble now caused by war wives who do not look after their children is im­ pending the war effort materially. Despite the allotments the moth­ ers receive from the Army or Navy for the care of their children, many of the yaungers have been found wearing rags. In many cases it has been neces­ sary for the Welfare Department to completely re-clothe the children in addition to finding foster homes for them. In several cases, youngsters have been neglected by tbeir war moth­ ers to such an extent that bospi talization and medical care have been needed by the children. “This must be stopped, and it will be stopped,” Mr. Murphy pro­ mised.—Norfolk Pilot. “We Gotta Change Hosses” We gotta change hosses In the middle of the river, Got too many bosses No gas for the fliver.

I Keep Cool With Shrimp Salad in Aspic (See Becipes Below) Keeping Cool There are still w arm days ahead through late sum m er and early fall, and plenty of opportunity for keep­ ing cool.

The nation’s farm ers for many years have relied upon legumes and cover crops to protect their soil from erosion, preserve valuable moisture, and gather life-giving nitrogen from the air. In m ost cases, these crops are plowed under as green m anure to m ake room for m ore profitable row crops, such as cotton, corn, or tobacco. Heavy wartim e dem ands for more food and fiber crops from each acre under the plow have increased the need for seeding legum es and cover crops, the W ar Food adm inistration says. Becords show that growing these crops in winter will bring about a substantial increase in per acre yields of subsequent crops. The urgent need for m ore feed crops to support added num bers of livestock also has a place in the picture, WFA says. These crops provide excel­ lent pasture for several weeks be­ fore turning under, thus supple­ menting dwindling supplies of con­ centrated protein feeds. Principal em phasis is being placed on harvesting of seed from 1944 crops of legum es and grasses because sup­ plies now are at dangerously low levels. Adequate supplies of these seeds are essential for providing Good Clover Stand winter feeds, protecting land during the winter months, and m aintaining soil productivity at high levels. Increases in production of legume and grass seeds m ust be m ade in 1944 if there are to be sufficient new seedings this fall for hay and pas­ ture production and for sod acreage in regular crop rotations. Nations liberated from Nazi domination will need seed quickly to help reestablish them selves by restoring their devas­ tated farm lands. Shipping seed abroad is an economical way of exporting food and lessens the drain on our own food supplies. Harvesting of legume and cover crop seed will be encouraged under provisions of the 1944 conservation program of the Agricultural Adjust­ m ent agency. Substantial payments will be allowed for each acre har­ vested, up to a m axim um of 25 acres per farm . Prices of seed will be supported at levels designed to give the farm er a fair return. Crops eli­ gible for AAA paym ents and sup­ port prices include m ost principal legumes and grasses. In addition to the profit realized, farm ers are being urged by the WFA to produce adequate supplies of seed for two principal reasons. F irst, WFA says, if farm ers are to m aintain their record production levels, every effort m ust be m ade to keep the nation’s farm lands in top productive condition. Any effort to draw upon soil fertility without re­ placing it is a dangerous gamble which m ay result in declining pro­ duction in later years. In the sec­ ond place, m any of the crops now being produced in record quantities to m eet urgent needs are soil de­ pleting. Continued production of these crops m akes it im perative that productivity be preserved by every m eans possible. Here is how the situation sum s up: 1. Bed clover—Keserves at 40 per cent of 1940 level. 2. Alsike clover—Carryover re­ duced one-half by two short crops, 3. Sweet clover—1943 crop sm all­ est since 1922. Carryover July I ex­ pected to be 40 per cent of 1939-1943 average. C attle L iver F lukes Liver flukes, long a serious men­ ace to cattle production in parts of Texas and other western states, are now being fought with a new chemi­ cal treatm ent, according to the War Food adm inistration. The drug “hexachlorethane” is combined with bentonite in w ater to m ake a smooth emulsion that is easily given as a drench. Liver flukes, difficult to reach by m edication, are sm all, flat, leaf-shaped parasites.

They are talk­ ing of running Lee CYDaniel for President on the Democratic ticket in the Lone Star State. One fellow has it figured out that the European war will be over on Sept. 7th, 1944, at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Here’s hoping he knows what he is talking about. Tbe watermelon and cantaloupe is about to become extinct for this season, but there is always some, thing to look forward to. The muscadine and the pumpkin will soon be rioe. The Winston-Salem Journal is sorry that Sidney Hillman and the C.I.O. have captured and ran a way with the Democratic party, but Editor Martin will swallow the whole outfit and vote ’er straight this fall. The Baltimore Sun, one of the big Dimocratic daily newspapers, has come out for Tom Dewey for President. From the editorials ap pearing in The Charlotte Observer, seems that paper thinks prettv well of the Republican presidential no­ minee. And now it is said that Presid ent Roosevelt was off on a vacation when he visited the Hawaiian and Aleutian Islands. Perhaps he was combining business and pleasure. Thousands of soldiers are stationed on these islands and most of them are voters. The Gallup Polls shows that F. D. Rooseveltis ahead in the race for Ptesident. Sometimes these polls are right a n d sometimes wrong. We haven’t forgotten the Literary Digest poll a few years ago when it gave the election to Alf Landon. Poor old Alf carried but two of the 48 States. No one will know who is elected until af­ ter the votes are cast and counted.

S.-BRITISH OIL ACCORD This column, it should be noted in advance, is likely to be dull. But if you are interested in keeping your son or husband out of another war, it should be important. The United States and G reat Brit­ ain are just concluding the first agreement aimed to remove the danger ot w ar—an agreem ent on oil. Oil is one of the most ticklish eco­ nomic subjects in the world. Oil is w hat makes a nation’s battleships move, runs the automobiles, sends the planes into the air—in fact, spells the difference between a nation of strength or a nation which m ust bow to the whims of others. The present oil agreem ent seeks to set­ tle the battle for oil; elim inate one im portant cause of war. The last w ar was scarcely over when Great Britain began maneu­ vering to corner the oil supplies of the world. British leaders were quite frank about it. United States Protests. Finding itself in this position, the United States government jumped into the battle for oil with vigor. The secretary of state, Charles Evans Hughes, wrote a series of blunt, bare-faced notes to the British, want­ ing to know why they barred Ameri­ can oil companies from Palestine, since Palestine was not British but m erely m andated to the British by the League. Meanwhile, the British, though barring the U. S. from their areas of interest, quietly invaded ours. They turned up with concessions in Colombia, not far from the Panam a Canal. Even in Panam a proper, a British gold-mining company staked out a huge and suspicious claim in an area where no gold was known to exist. History Begins to Repeat. In World War II, history at first began to repeat. The five senators who toured the world war fronts cam e back with the story of how the U.S.A. was rapidly depleting her oil reserves while the British were hoarding theirs. They told how the British were trying to keep us from further developing oil resources in Arabia; how the British had a re­ finery on. the Gulf of Persia, 50 per cent idle, while we shipped oil clear across the Atlantic to British arm ies in the N ear East. Yes, it looked as if history would repeat. On last April 29, however, rep­ resentatives of the British and American governments negotiat­ ed an informal understanding aimed to eliminate the oil bat­ tles of the future. It was an ex­ cellent, far-sighted agreement. And during the last two weeks In Washington, Lord Beaverbrook ^ and his associates have been ne­ gotiating with Secretaries Ickes and Hull to make this informal oil agreement formal and bind­ ing. This time, tbe British have been far more cooperative and far-sighted than in 1919 — with one possible exception. After U. S.-British experts laid their excellent April 29 ground work, Lord Beaverbrook kicked over the traces at some things, I and he seems to be keeping a more watchful eye on the inter­ ests of the empire than on a fair future peace. For instance, he has been insisting that Brit­ ain have the right to ban the i sale of U. S. oil In England, de­ spite the fact that British Shell sells in this country. However, the basic agreement is truly en­ couraging when it comes to fu­ ture peace. Provisions of Agreement. It provides, first; “That petroleum shall be available in international trade to the nationals of all peace- loving countries in adequate volume, at fair prices and on an equitable and non-discriminatory basis.” This m eans that, if the U.S.A. runs out of oil or vice versa, it is up to Britain to help supply us un­ less, for example, one or the other attem pts to conquer Ethiopia as Mus­ solini did, and the world peace-ma- chinery countries attem pt to cut off their oil as the League tried to do to Italy but, because of pressure from the big companies, could not do. The agreem ent also gives “equal opportunity” for "acquisition,” “de­ velopment,” etc., in areas under con­ cession. This elim inates cutthroat rivalry for new fields. Each nation is to respect the valid concessions of the other and its citizens. Finally, and very im portant, “ex­ ploration, development, operation of refineries and distribution shall not be hampered by restrictions imposed by either government or its nation­ als.” ■ » * * MERRY-GO-ROUND C Cautious Mr. T u rk -If you want the real low-down on why the Turks finally broke with Germany, it was because Hitler had moved troops out of Bulgaria just opposite Turkey. After that, the Turks weren’t afraid of being attacked. . . . With Sweden and Switzerland both closed to Hit­ ler for escape, his few remaining havens are Japan—which won’t last long—and Argentina. . . . It has long been rumored that the Nazi top men were building. up.cash re­ serves in Argentina.

Among the thousands of refugees who landed at Hoboken, N. J., to spend the war’s duration in a camp In theU. S. was the family of Jacob Dresdner, shown after coming ashore. The family Is composed of Jacob and his wife and their nine children, from Hungary. With the rest of the lucky thousand permitted entry under the President’s plan, they will be kept in Fort Ontario, near Oswego, N. Y., until the end of the war at which time they will be returned to their own countries. Insert shows how many of the refugees when forced to flee their homes tried to carry a few valuables with them. i Yanks Pass Through Periers LKfissVlfrfcj — v rite --- - & Je- - " 0_, f t . .I Jen*. « I * wJ t /I’ 'i. * . vJ f c :V > ,, 1»5 Tank column passes through the French town of Periers on their drive toward Paris and Berlin.

[four !CLASSIFIED !DEPAR T M E N T R eleasad by W estern N ew spaper Union. Two of the nation’s m ost widelj heralded civilian heavyweights were on display at W rigley field in Chi­ cago a couple of weeks ago and proved one thing—there is no need for Sgt. Joe Louis, current custodian of the world’s championship, to go into serious training for the defense of his title. The Chicago debacle saw Joe Baksi, a big, tough hulk, maul his way to a 10-round decision over Lee Savold, Paterson, N. J., heavyweight. The victory carried with it recognition of the Illinois Athletic commission as ’’duration” heavyweight cham­ pionship. That means until Louis, Conn, Pastor and the rest return. We had figured Savold to win. Not that we were particularly interested, but after all it w as a fight sup­ posedly of some consequence in the current heavyweight picture. Inci­ dentally, that picture is dark, for­ bidding and not very interesting to see. Fighting Machine It wasn’t so long ago that Savold, the loser, looked like a fine fighting m achine. But the m achine appears to be quite well worn out. He had two good rounds against Baksi JOE LOUIS the fourth and fifth—but he w asn’t tl.e sam e Iigliltr who scored pre­ vious successes in Chicago against Nate Bolden, Lem Franklin (twice) and Lou Nova. Baksi is no graceful gazelle. He plods ahead with his pointed jaw stuck out belligerently and his huge hands flopping. But that jaw is fash­ ioned of granite and is impervious to blows that would wilt a m an of lesser stam ina. Savold was in bad shape m uch of the tim e, having been m auled in close about the head and kidneys. Baksi slam m ed lefts to the body and whisked short, right uppercuts across the chin. From the sixth round on the big Pole kept press­ ing his advantage, until, at the fin­ ish, Lee’s nose was bleeding and the left side of his body was the color of a boiled lobster. Even Hymie W iseman, Savold’s m anager, couldn’t think of a thing to say in defense of his boy. "He looked like a prelim inary boy. There can be no excuse except that he didn’t — or couldn’t — untraek him­ self. I sw ear that on his gym show­ ing he looked unbeatable. He never w as better.” Great Hearted He had one thing that rem inded onlookers of the Savold of yesterday. He had the sam e heart that he did when he disposed of Bolden, Frank­ lin and Nova. When the last gong sounded there were m any who in­ sisted that he had gone over the crest, and that from now on his fights would continue to grow less effective. Perhaps the pace Lee has always m aintained finally caught up with him, depriving his legs of speed and his fists of punch. Savold m ade no excuses. “I was in shape,” he said in his dressing room, “but the m aritim e service took some zip out of m e. I can’t concentrate too m uch on my ring w ars, especially when I’m training for a bigger battle.” The fight w asn’t a howling finan­ cial success, luring a $43,355 gross gate, which probably m eans the show was promoted at a deficit since the headliners took 60 per cent of the net. It also proved a bit boring to the assem bled 16,135 spectators, 7,500 of them being uniformed serv­ icem en and women, who were Pro­ m oter Jack K earns’ guests. To be truthful, the custom ers, probably including K earns’ nonpay­ ing guests, began to boo the action about the tim e of the seventh round and didn’t stop until the bout reached its somewhat inglorious end. Louis and Conn Perhaps we’re too critical, but there are only two contem porary heavyweights we’d travel any dis­ tance to see—Champion Joe Ixiuis and Contender Billy Conn. . Both m en are real fighters. Both have the heart for it, the ability to fight and are capable of putting up a real show every tim e they step into the ring. In our book, Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis are the tw o greatest heavyweights of all tim e. Both men w ere dangerous from the start.

M , OVEHBO RELEASE CHAPTER I The giant m oths of Kokee—those /!amp black ghosts—and the sm ell of jour honey, which were so trivial as facts but so vital to Zorie Corey’s fears, were among the things that made it hard for her to put a proper valuation on the events them selves. There were m om ents of terror vvhich, when she awoke in the night, she could now contem plate with amused detachm ent. And there were moments of lesser danger which, even in retrospect, could bring a scream into her throat. Perhaps Paul Duncan could have explained all of it, in his clever, analytical way. Some of it he did try to explain, because, in his jeal­ ous heart, he adored her. And some of it was better left unexplained and even unrem em liered. It m ight have hastened her recovery if she jould have wiped from her m em ory that night in m id-Pacific when she fell down and down through.endless blackness, with that soft, terrifying whisper in her ears—“Ah-nah! Ah- nah!" And she could have well forgotten, too, the jasm ine-scented dawn when she stood beside a stunted tree three thousand feet above the green arid purple depths of the tropical canyon with an autom atic pistol kicking in her hand, although it would always seem that it had happened not to her but to an unbelievable girl who had stepped out of her just long enough to attem pt m urder. Yet all of it fitted into the one bright rom antic pattern of intrigue and adventure which she would al­ ways cherish, even unim portant tri­ fles—the quarreling of the m inah birds just at dusk and again just at dawn; the annoying habit Grand­ father Duncan had of saying, “ You understand—hm ?” and the m etallic luster of moonlight on palm fronds leaping in the trade-w ind; the gleam in Pierre Savoyard’s eyes whenever he ate m eat; and the pride that Amber, the girl from M artinique, took in herself; and the strange ur­ banity of the m an who called him­ self Winthrop Lanning. Her m em ory of the rest of that or­ deal was vague. But she was never vague about Stephen Decatur Duncan, with his languid m anner, his mocking blue ayes and his treachery. Probing about in her mind on these sleepless nights, in a blacked- out room on an island a t w ar, she saw herself, on that dism al after­ noon in early Decem ber, in a drowsy little university town, sitting at her desk and wishing, among other things, that she was not so meek. She was privately very certain that her wishing had started it and that every step she took that day was an unerring step in the direction of her destiny. From her typew riter desk, in the English Departm ent, Zorie Corey could look out across the sm all cam ­ pus and over some of the rooftops of this town in which she bad grown up and of which she was now, she told hferself, a helpless victim . She had just uttered the fraudulent wish so often voiced by youth when it is overcome by a sense of frustration —she wished she’d never been bom . She then uttered three wishes, all related, in a row. She wished she w asn't so meek. She wished she had •courage. She wished she’d had the gumption to tell the wife of her dis­ tinguished employer to jum p in the river. “My dear Miss Corey,” M rs. Fol- some, in her gushing way, had said over the telephone a few m inutes previously, “would you m ind terri­ bly distributing the invitations for my tea next week? They really should go out tonight and I think it’s so much nicer having them deliv­ ered by hand, don’t you? And Pro­ fessor says you’re so dependable. So will you drop around for.them when you’re through?” “I’d love to, M rs. Folsome,” Zorie Corey had said in her melodious young voice, instead of any num ber of appropriate things she m ight have said. She m ight have mentioned that she didn’t possess a car; that it was going to rain; that she was terribly rushed. She m ight have suggested that M rs. Folsom e neatly affix a two-cent stam p in the upper right- hand corner of each of the enve­ lopes and drop them in one of the green receptacles that an all-seeing governm ent has placed a t numerous street com ers for the convenience of its citizens. “Why,” * Zorie Corey rebelliously m uttered, “ don’t you deliver them with your own hand, you old tight­ w ad?” Zorie Corey wished she was a w ar nurse. Then she wished she lived in California. But anywhere would do. Anywhere but Elleryton. “Professor says you’re so depend­ able.” And well he m ight! Profes­ sor Bowdoin J . Folsome was head of the English D epartm ent. Zorie Cor­ ey w as his half-tim e secretary, and his notion of the hours that a half- tim e secretary should keep was from noon sharp until she slid from her chair with exhaustion. The half-day was supposed to end a t five, but she often worked until six-thirty—nine— som etim es midnight. She expertly estim ated that the work he had piled on her desk would keep her occupied until seven-thirty. A fter that she m ust deliver his wife’s invitations. There would be about thirty of them and the ad­ dresses would be scattered all over town. And she had a date tonight with Paul Duncan. Paul did not like to be kept waiting. Next to cleanliness, with Paul, cam e punctuality. She gave herself the brief luxury of contem plating, in a private ar­ chive of her mind, her fiance’s lean, good-looking face, his clear gray- green eyes, his strong, slender hands. She loved P aul's hands. They were clever end nervous and yet they were very m asculine. P aul had a brilliant mind, and his understanding of hum an foibles, his am using way of pricking the bubbles of vanity and conceit and hypocrisy was a source of delight to Zorie. P aul w as an instructor of psycholo­ gy. And he w as much too good for this sm all m idwestern university. She would, she decided, knock off a t five-thirty. At six, she w as still typing in her fast, efficient way. At six-thirty, she called PauTfe boarding-house. He As she looked at the wishing Bud­ dha a curious thing happened. It began to glow. wasn’t home. The voice that an­ sw ered didn’t know when he would return. At seven, Zorie called again. Paul, she was told, had dined out. He w as probably in the library doing research on his dissertation. At seven-twenty-eight, she finished the last of her typing and laid her afternoon’s production; in neat piles, on Professor Folsome’s desk. She would be late for her date w ith Paul, and he would tell her again that the trait he adm ired most in the wives of the m en he knew w as punctuality. One of the troubles with being m eek, of always saying yes and nev­ er no to a request, Zorie reflected, is that you’re always getting your­ self into hot w ater. She paused and looked about the gloomy office, with its littered desk, its overflowing wastebasket, the pam phlets and catalogs and books scattered and stacked about—all so typical of Professor Folsome’s un­ tidiness. A t the back of the desk, a con­ fusion of books, m em oranda, pens, pencils, and bottles and pots of ink of various colors, was presided over by a gilded cast-iron Buddha about eight inches high. Most of, the gilt w as gone. He was fat, benign and rusty. A student from Siam—the son of a prince—had given the Bud­ dha to Professor Folsome. It was, the sallow Siamese princeling had mentioned with a drolly disparaging air, a wishing Buddha from a jungle tem ple near Chengmei—a genuine jungle wishing Buddha. Zorie Corey was a sensible girl and she took, no stock in heathen idols or any of the nonsense you hear about them , but as she looked at the wishing Buddha, a curious thing happened. It began to glow. The explanation of this phenome­ non was prosaic and sim ple, but Zorie wasn’t instantly aw are of that. The glow was greenish and ghostly and it seemed to come on as if the jungle Buddha were trying to call her attention to him self and his rep­ utation. W hat had happened was that the shifting clouds above the Fenwick Body Plant had glowed brightly for a m om ent in the glare from the floodlights which surrounded the buildings—one of the m easures be­ ing taken to discourage saboteurs— and this glow had let the curving surfaces of the Siam ese Buddha catch and m om entarily hold a ghost­ ly gleam . Even his eyes seemed to glim m er. “I wish . . Zorie Corey began impetuously, and hesitated. Then she m ade her wish. She wished she could be whisked to a leisurely land of palm s and jade-green seas, of strange flowers with intoxicating scents, of birds th at left bright flam es in their wake, and of de­ lightful people too gallant to take ad­ vantage of her m eekness. She next wished that Paul Duncan was there with her. Then she wished that she would lose her meekness. That m ade a total of three wishes, and three wishes were, according to tradition, the correct num ber. There should be, of course, some sort of ritual. She bent down quick­ ly and kissed the cast-iron jungle Buddha three tim es on the brow, one kiss for each wish. He tasted dusty and rusty. She stepped back and gazed some­ w hat defiantly a t the Buddha, who no longer glowed, but sa t there in the jtuigle of a fusty old English professor’s desk, a dark lum p in the darkness, as if, in glowing once, he had spent his m agic force and would never glow again. Zorie waited and a curious tingling went along her spine. Nothing noteworthy happened. Zorie Corey did not find herseU speeding through the night on a Per­ sian rug, nor did she feel one de­ gree less meek. The telephone in her cubicle be­ gan to ring. She ran down the hall with her heart racing out of all proportion to the am ount of exer­ cise she was giving it. As she ran, she pictured the m an who was call­ ing her, and the m an was, curiously enough, not P aul Duncan. He was a total stranger. He was tall, bronzed and big-shouldered with m erry eyes and curly hair and a big easy sm ile and a lazy, romantic way about him. He would say to her in a deep, resonant, cheery voice: “Miss Cor­ ey? I have just been authorized to offer you an opportunity to leave El­ leryton at once and take a very in­ teresting journey.” But the voice that responded to her breathless hello w as neither deep, resonant, nor cheery. “My dear,” it said, with just a hint of severity, “I thought you’d be over for these invitations ages ago. H ad you forgotten?” “No, I hadn’t forgotten,” Zorie answered in her melodiously m eek voice. “I ’m just leaving.” It was an unseasonal December night, rainy and w arm —the kind of night that m ight be transform ed by a sudden north wind into a glitter of ice-clad trees and telephone wires. As she started along the campus, with her head bowed, as if in sham e, against the drizzle, she indulged in still another wish. She wished sha had had the courage to ask her Aunt Hannah for her coupe for a couple of hours. Zorie went up on the wide porch of the big old fashioned gray house where the Folsom es lived. A col­ ored m aid answered the doorbell and brought Zorie the stack of invi­ tations in a cellophane w rapper. Zorie was on the point of asking her if she could borrow an um brella, but the door was quickly closed, and she decided against pressing the button again, for the m aid had looked cross. She exam ined the invitations un­ der the porch light. They were ad­ dressed in Mrs. Folsome’s spidery handwriting. The addresses were faculty wives and a few of the m ore prominent townswomen. There was no envelope addressed to Zorie Cor­ ey. She went down the steps and in tt the rain. Less than one hundred feet from the Folsom es’ front porch, on the corner, was a telephone pole to which was affixed a street light. The street light clearly illuminated two objects, a m ailbox and a large trash basket on the side of which was a stencilled sign. Zorie stopped. Two tem ptations were tugging at her. The first was to buy thirty two-cent stam ps and m ail the invitations. The other tem p­ tation appealed strongly to the rene­ gade in her, but it was as spurious as her wish that she’d never been bom . Thinking of the malicious gossip that flew around a t these faculty teas, she gazed at the sign on the trash basket. K EEP YOUR TOWN CLEAN USE THIS! “How I’d love to!” she m urm ured. Across the street w as a taxicab with the m eter ticking.' She w as too preoccupied to notice it. Yet she would rem em ber every other detail of that night, of that m om ent: the sound of it, the look of it, the sm ell of it, the feel of it; all the little things that m ake a great m oment so real in afterthought—the rattle o! the rain on the tree. — .

GOLDEN TEXT—B ecause thou h ast re* Jected the w ord of the Lord, he bath also rejected thee from being king,—I Sam uel 19:23. M oral failure is a direct result of disobedience to God's law. He es­ tablished the m oral order in the universe. His is the only right way, and the m an who does not walk; in God’s way is wrong no m atter, how successful he m ay seem to be' at the moment. ! A fter a brief period of success,; Saul sinned by intruding into the, priests office at Gilgal (I Sam. 13:. 10-14). This was soon followed by his disobedience in the b attle‘with! Amalek (I Sam. 15:1-9). This brought final judgm ent from the Lord, and Saul stood revealed as I. A Self-Willed Backslider (w . 10, 11). “Turned back from following” God m eans just one thing, that is, turned back to self-will. These two principles, which are m utually ex­ clusive, rule all actions of man—it is either God’s will, or self-will. Saul, who had every opportunity to m ake good as Israel’s first king, lost out completely, and so turned away from God that God had to turn away from him, which is the thought expressed by “repenteth” (v. 11). IL A Lying Hypocrite (w . 12, 13). Knowing that he had done just the opposite, Saul puts on his best “Sun- day-go-to-church” m anner and pro­ fessed to be very pious, and com­ pletely obedient (v. 13). One m ar­ vels at his tem erity, but not so much so when one thinks of those in the church who put on the sam e kind of a “front” to cover a worldly, self- centered life. Nothing hurts the cause of Christ m ore than the nervy hypocrites who deny by their lives before the com­ m unity the thing for which the church stands. By the way, are yoii a hypocrite, you who read these lines? If so, flee to God in repent-! ance. You are in bad company.in. A Proved Deceiver (w . 14, 15). The difficulty with falsehood is that ultim ately the truth comes to light. With Saul it cam e quickly, for the sheep which he said were dead were alive enough to bleat at just the right tim e. The deceit of Saul thus was proved in the very instant of his false declaration of innocency. “Be sure your sin will find you out” (Num. 32:23) is not just a re­ ligious theory, it is God’s .word., “He that covereth his sins shall not pros­ per; but whoso confesseth and for- saketh them shall have m ercy” (Prov. 28:13). IV. A Proud Disobeyer (w . 16- 19). Now Saul had to stand before Samuel and hear the words of God’s condemnation. He had to face his own life and see there the ground of the judgm ent of the Lord. He was rem inded of the day of his humble dependence on the Lord, which had brought him exaltation to the highest place in Israel. To be sm all in one’s own eyes is to be great in the eyes of Ihe Lord. He is looking for the acceptable sac­ rifice of a humble heart (Ps. 51:17; Isa. 57:15). The tum ult and the shouting dies: The captains and the kings depart: Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice. An hum ble and a contrite heart; Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget) —KIPLING. V. An Argumentative Evader (vv. 20, 21). Once set in the way of disobedi­ ence, there seem s to be no lim it to the bold stubbornness of man. In­ stead of breaking down in contrition and confession, Saul tried to face the m atter down by further argum ent and tricky evasion. “I have obeyed,” said he, “ but the people.” Who was king? Did the people obey Saul, or Saul the peo­ ple? 1ITiere is nothing honest about laying your sins over on another. How often people do it! Notice also that Saul becam e very religious again. If anything had been done that seemed wrong, it w as with a good purpose; they were going to “sacrifice to Jehovah.” “The sacrifices and ceremonies of religion are to aid and promote obedience, not to be a substitute. Disobedience can never be m ade a virtue, even though attended by a thousand sacrifices” (Stanley). VI. A Rebellious R eject (w . 22, 23). “To obey is better than sacrifice.” Oh, that we raight learn well that lesson which God through Samuel tried to teach to Saul. We need to recognize that giving to the church, or working for the church, is not enough if there is not obedience to God; and with us that obedience m ust be the recognition of Christ as saviour and Lord. Lip service, half obedience, a will­ ingness to m ake sacrifices were not acceptable in the case of Saul. Be sure they are infinitely less accept­ able to God in this day when we have His Son who wants to be our Saviour and to give us the enabling grace to obey His will.

Treasury Dtpartmtni Major Hoople Br NEA Syndicate EGAD* VlMO CAN REFUSE TO BACKTHE invasion WITH A S U R E -R R ^ INWESTMENfT ? To the People of this Community There are many urgent reasons for buying War Bonds. First, the invasion needs money. Bonds pay for planes and guns and munitions ___________ with which tobeat the Axis. Our fightin g m en must have the best possible equip­ment and it is up to us to let our money pro­vide this. A second reason is this: There is a shortage of goods now. Later on there will be plenty for civilian de­sires. Money put into War Bonds now will be available then. Busi­ ness opportunities will be open then, too, and the "nest egg” saved now may hatch out commercially then. Money put into War Bonds 'now will be deprived of its current po­tentiality as a part of the causes of Inflation. You will be doing your part toward stabilizing the money situation by buying Bonds instead ot dwindling stocks. That is a third reason. But the best reason from a selfish viewpoint is this: Bight now there is no better investment than War Bonds. There is no safer repository for your money. By buying Bonds you become a stockholder in the strongest “going” concern in the world today, the United States of America. t h e EDITOR. Dick Tracy By Chester Could LOAN Qet for $3 out of your CUtaISTMAS savings — in­ vest in WAR BONDS- Keep on BACKING THE ATTACK. The Strongest of Bonds—Your Dad and Your Country, Is the Slogan ot Father's Day, June 18—Buy Bonds WASHINGTON. D. C.—June 0 0 - Father’s Day which falls on June 18th, 1941, will be a different kind of celebra­tion ot this event than in days before the war. This year finds American la- one underlying motivation. The battle cry for the Father Bond Drive and for the observance connected with Father’s Day this year is "The Strongest of Bonds-Your Dad and Your Country. I Pictured here is Ted B. Gamble, National Dlrcctor of Uie Treasury’s War Finance Division, and his son, Ted B., Jr. The youngster is pinning a Father’s Day rosette In his dad’s coat lapel. The rosettes are made up of War Stamps. Girl Scouts and others will sell the rosettes on Father’s Day, June 18. thers away from home and family and by hundreds of thousands in uniforms of the Armed Services of our country. Many fathers are overseas.So this year’s Father's Day is Amer­ ica’s "Salute to our Fighting Dads”. The National Father’s Day Committee, in conjunction with the United States Treasury, is conducting a gigantic Fa­ ther Bond Drive. 1Qiere is an earnest and all-abiding awareness to push on to victory in the observance of this year’s Father’s Day. And every move being planned for the event is keyed to that Buy a Bond for Father's Day." Father, himself, needs no reminding and will take note of the holiday created in his honor by himself buying bonds for Fa­ther’s Day. The family is being urged to remember Dad—with War Bonds. The nation is being asked to wear the Father Eosette, a floral decoration made of War Stamps—a gentle remind­er to all that there is only one idea in anyone’s mind for this year’s Father’s Day and that is the winning of the war as quickly as possible and that means War Bonds ana more War Bonds. The Farmer and War Bond Purchases by Charles W. Holman, Secretary The National Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation A MERICAN farm ers have a A great deal m ore a t stake in purchasing W ar Bonds than sim ­ ply a patriotic urge to assist in financing the w ar so th at it m ay be prosecuted to an early and vic­ torious conclusion. M odem w ar dem ands governm ental expendi­ tures far in excess ol those which m ay be m et by current revenue receipts. This m eans Governm ent borrowing. If a large p art of this borrowing is through com m ercial banks a d d itio n a l in fla tio n a ry spending power is created through the expansion of credit. On Qte other hand, if the borrowing is largely from individuals m uch of their excess funds are drained off. Hence, the pressure on prices re­ sulting from unusually large funds bidding for lim ited am ounts of goods and services is relieved, aind thus inflation retarded. A tremendously increased agricultural production and some increase in average prices received above those paid by farmers have raised the net income of all Vnited States fanners from the 1935- 39 average of $4.7 billion to S6.3 billion in 1941. $9.4 billion m 1942, and an estimated $12.5 billion in 1943. With available supplies of farm machinery re­placements and building ma­ terials limited, Agriculture has a fund available for either debt retirement, savings read­ily liquidated for future pur­chases of machinery, build­ings, etc., or for present in­vestment in land. A m arked decrease in farm m ortgages in recent years indi­ cates th at m uch of this fund has been properly applied to debt re­ tirem ent. However, activity in land sales and a very m arked in­ crease in Iemd values demon­ strate that farm ers are probably diverting a large part of this fund into land purchases. From M arch I, 1943, to M arch I, 1944, average land values per acre rose 15 per cent, with the larger p art of the rise taking place in the last four m onths of the period. The in­ crease during this four-month pe­ riod w as the highest on recotd, being 20 per cent greater than the average m onthly rate of increase for the 1919-20 boom year. Aver­ age values per acre have increased m ore than one-third in the past 3 years. In the 1916-19 period the rise w as about the sam e. It appears th at an overcapitali­ zation of probably tem porarily high farm com m odity prices is in Erocess just as in World W ar I. arge m ortgage debts incurred now, a t highlevels of income, will prove disastrous when both total agricultural production and prices fall. Land values are based on the net return to land. W ith the end of the w ar in sight and w ith the prospect th at farm labor and other costs will require a relatively larg­ er return leaving the return to land less, the logical course for land values at present would ap­ pear to be downward rath er than upward. Therefore, it appears that farm ers would do well to in­ vest every available dollar, beyond th at needed for debt retirem ent, in Government Bonds. Tbese can be held against tbe day when neces­ sary farm replacem ents will be available and when farm land values will have become m ore stable. In this w ay the individual farm er m ay assist in hastening the day of return of his son, and also have capi­ tal available to help finance him In ventures of his own choice* tT* S. Trtasury DtparImtHt War Bonds as Investment for Farmers by Warren W. Hawley, Jr., President New York State Farm Bureau Federation ' T N C H E C K IN O fig u re s o f th e i — F arm C redit Adm inistration, I • find th at farm ers are paying off ; m ortgages faster than a t any oth- ; e r period in the history of the Fed- j eral Land Bank. I . A t the sam e tim e, farm ers are j building up cash reserves, but the j wise investm ent of this m oney is , an extrem ely h a rd jo b for farm - i ers to undertake. H ie tem ptation I is to try and obtain as high an I interest rate a s possible. I M any of us see no reason why j we should not get as m uch inter- j est on our m oney now as we had ; to pay the bank when w e w ere I forced to borrow during the de- I pression. i The answ er is that today money i is cheap—“ expanded”, as the I bankers express it. Therefore in­ terest rates are low except in very speculative securities. Nat­ urally no farm er w ants to risk losing his hard earned cash. We farm ers know our own busi­ ness and w e can invest m oney in it safely because we understand it. However, when we branch off into other fields, especially the highly technical field of invest­ m ents, m ost of us encounter sad experiences. In these days it is virtually im ­ possible for farm ers to p u t their surplus cash back into the farm . W ar-tim e conditions prevent us from repairing buildings, and buy­ ing new m achinery, automobiles, trucks and other equipm ent we m ust eventually have if w e are going to stay in business. So the sm art thing for farm ers to do is to in n s t their surplus m oney in W ar Bonds w here it is as safe as a dollar bin. These bonds increase in value toe longer they are held; they can be cashed after sixty days in case of need, and they will provide a reserve for in­ vestm ent after the w ar in Uie business the farm ers know best—tbe business of farm ing. I confidently predict th at if farm ers will do this, the dawn of peace will signalize a new day for agriculture. V. S. TreitSitr*?
