G "You probably would be amaz ed,” says a school publication, “it you took the time to look through the catalog of the public library in your community to see hew few really Christian books are made a- vailable to the reading public.” It is Hnknown except unto God how much a school, or public library inflnences a community. That it has its lnflnence is indeed bevond question And that influence counts eithei for good or bad, according to the nature of the books and publications read. We believe the great majority of the books in our school and public libraries are absolutely unfit to read. It is a wnste of one’s time to read them, even to say the best of them Many of them are mis leading. They do not build the reader up In manhood and woman hood, . honesty, truth, sobriety, faith, godliness, righteousness and holiness. They do not make char acter. Rather they undermine char ter. Rather they undermine char acter, undermine the principals that go to make great men and women, and that make pecple godly. There is entirely too much chaffy stuff in our public libraries tor our boys and girls to read. It is fic titious, misleading and detrimen tal. Much of the material in our public libraries is absolutely ques tionable. Writers seek to thrill their readers by resorting to silly, cheap, degrading love stories and sex literature; or by wild adven ture; or bv that which does not elevate the mind, and help to make it clean and pure, and neither does it ennoble the soul and spirit, nor fill the heart with holy desires to setve and worship God and bless the world. AU this is done for money, or mainly so. on the part of writers and publisuers No doubt there should be a mi ghty bouse cleaning in the public lie libraries of America today. Many, many books should be com mitted to the flames. They are ab solutely unfit to occupy a place in our public libraries, and should ne ver be brought into our homes. They rob our boys and girls of faith in the Bible and God; rob them of honor, honesty, truth and righteousness, and send them forth as unbelievers in the Christian re ligion, and without any protection moraliv and spiritually, hence the unsuccessful lives of thousands and multitudes of their readers who climb in life no higher than the books and literature they keep com pany with. Only the best reading matter leads us along life’s better way. G iv e T h e m R o p e One reason there is hope that General McArthur's forces will soon take Manila is that the day is not far distant when there will he need for rope for the criminal Nazis and Japs who brought on this war. Manila and rope go together.—Ex. T o W iv e s a n d P a r e n t s o f S o l d i e r s 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 tbe 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. I s T b i s T h e S i t u a t i o n A North Carolina worker in the Norfolk Navy Yard has returned home and writes The Greensboro News this letter: “ I have just finished my work at the Norfolk Navy Yard, and I have never in all mv life seen such whole sale loafing. It is tbe general po licy of all employes to loaf and kill as mnch time as possible, and there are two men for every job where only one is needed, and yet they are two men for every job where only one is needed, and yet they are hir ing men every dav. "I saw three men work two and one-half days putting up one joint of pipe. One truck driver and seven men took all the morning to haul 10 pieces of lumber one-fourth of a mile to the ship. Men making $1 58 an hour and up actually stav out of work for lack of assignments for two and three days at a time. ‘‘The employes actu.llv get tired of loafiing and killing time, but it is the policy and there Is nothing else for them to do ” This letter contains allegations which should be officially confirm ed denied. This letter contains allegations should be officially confined or de nied. And if the statements made are found to be true, the responsibility for such a shocking .situation should be properly placed, either upon the management of the ship building concerns there or upon their work ers, unionized or not: or upon the government if it operates the plants. Here is a direct statement made by a man who describes himself as having seen what is happening at this huge ship bnilding base to tbe effect that ‘‘it is the ge eral policy of all employes to Ioat and kill as mnch time as possible.” If that is the truth of the case, it should be admitted and corrected. Workers who resort to this prac tice, or management that tolerates it, are without excuse and most be held up to the scorn and contempt of the patriotic people ot thisioun. try as well as of the millions of fighting men. for snch inexcusable, if not criminal, folly. Of course, snch "loafiing” and killing time,” as is charged, is paid for by the taxpayers of the na tion, but that is a factor of relative unimportance as compared to the effect such shirking and slacker- ing upon the war effort. This is the sort of thing that post, pones the end of tbe war—that needlessly prolongs, it, and every day it is needlessly prolonged adds that much to the cost in tbe blood and sacrifice of the men upon whom the nation is dependent for eventual victory. — Charlotte Ob Land posters at this office.

He thinks that tbe three million dollar limit 00 spending by any national political campaign committee should be raised be cause it has proved ineffective. Hatch tells newsmen that if the three million dollar top were to be lifted, it would discourage the prac tice of setting up numerous inde pendent committees. He says that many such committees have been tormed in the past for tbe ourpose of circumventing the limitation However, Hatch is in favor of retaining the present five thousand dollar ceiling on individual contri butions.

I.By A. T. GRANT, Attorney. T e l l s W h o A r e O n r F r i e n d s The election is over but I saw an other writeup by a man from Wood- leaf saying let’s not forget who has been our friend. I will ask the writer if he has forgotten the day of Aug 4,1942. when his friends wife came to Salisbury with her negro de legate to try to put the negro on eauality with the whites and had her picture made with a bunch of ne groes? Mr. Writer, how would you like to see your child ride the bus to school with negro children and maybe taught by b negro teacher? Also I will ask the writer if he remembers his friend saving if he was elected there would be no war unless we were attacked, and if we were we wju'd fight on American soil, we wouldn’t have to leave it? Now look where our bovs are The writer said he could recall when the Republicans had our backs to the wall; we would almost steal for we har Iy knew where we would get the next meal. I think the De mocrats have got us where we don’t know which side our backs is up, so we don’t know whether they are on the wall or just where they are, The writer seid. "We have made a wonderful gain towards a higher living ’’ I will admit we have had a big change in higher war-time prices at the cost of many poor American boys who are wading mud and blood would be glad to get the scrops we throw in the garbage can? The writer spoke of the dollar-a- day. You could take that dollar and get as much as you could carry in both arms. Now you can almost put a dollar's worth in your vess pocket and Io8e it out and the little red ants drag it off. I guess some folks would sacrifice their son for a 5 or IO cent raise in the hour wages over high bloodshed prices. I hope those poor boys who lose their lives figuting over there will iro to a better place but God only knows where those old money-loving hogs will go. The Bible says "The love of money is the root of all evil,” and they can’t take a penny with them when they die to pay their way across tbe river of Jordan, nor buy their way through the pearly gates of gold The writer said, when the Republicans were in we had to wor- fy and fret but now the worry and sweat, running to the ration board to see what we can get .and they will give us about enough gas to go home on an come back and ask for more, and to go to the store and ask what we can get and how much will you let us have? When the Republicans were In we could call for wbat we wanted and get as much as we had money to pay for. Since the De mocrats have been in our leaders thought we had too much. He would cut us short, Now they see where we need more than we have with people almost giving their stock a way. They haven’t the feed to feed them on. Some folks are so partial to their party that if the devil and Jesus Christ would run on the ticket they would vote for tbe devil rather than Jesus Christ. If folks like that had their heads shaved down to fit the size of their brain a peanut hull would make them a sun-doxn hat. T. L. COUGHENOUR, In Union Republican. To the People of this Community “Sad little personal belongings are strewn au over these bitter sands.” Thus wrote Ernie Pyle from a beachhead in Normandy.More than 2,000 bundles ol these belongings, carefully collected and packed by the armed forces, are sent monthly from a Kansas City de- p o t to homes throughout America.

There is also such a grade of lamb and veal on the market. In fact, there is news which shows that a surplus of lamb and v e a l w ill soon come to market. This is lam b or veal which has not been fattened and which requires long, slow cooking to make it tender. Instead of roasting or broiling, use braising to turn it out juicy and tender. It’s as nutri tious, but lower in calories as the top grades of meat that have been fattened. Seasonings play an important role in making this meat palatable to the taste. A touch of garlic with lamb is good, but there are other spices you’ll want to keep on hand to make this meat good. They are bay leaves, pepper corns, capers, onions, parsley, Worchestershire sauce and mint. The recipe roundup begins with lamb loaf. Serve it plain with some of that home canned spiced fruit, or cover it with fluffy mashed po tatoes to dress it up: Savory Lamb Loaf. (Serves 6) I Ys pounds ground shoulder or neck of lamb 2 teaspoons salt H dove garlic minced or H cop chopped onion I cup milk % cup fine bread crumbs I egg3 cups seasoned mashed pota toes. if desired. Combine all ingredients except mashed potatoes. Pack into a loaf pan and bake in a 325-degree oven for I hour arid 20 m inutes. When baked turn out on a cookie sheet and frost with hot mashed potatoes. Loaf may also be left in pan and potatoes placed on top, then browned quickly in oven. Porcupine Balls. (Serves 6) 2 pounds ground shoulder of lamb Vi clove garlic, chopped fine 2 tablespoons butter or drippings Vi cup raw rice 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups boiling water 3 tablespoons flour IVt cups milk I teaspoon salt U teaspoon pepper Brown garlic in butter. Mbc lamb, rice and salt and shape into 12 balls. Brown in same fat. Pour water over balls. Cover and simmer for I hour. Remove balls. Add flour, salt and pepper to fat in pan. Mix thorough ly. Add milk and cook until it thickens. Place balls in sauce and serve. Noodles are a good starchy food to serve with veal and celery and parsley bring out its delicate flavor: Lynn Says: Treats for Today: Serve cot tage cheese with peaches or pine apple and sprinkle the top of the cheese with grated orange rind. For male guests, serve frank furters on toast with hot chili poured over all. Place baked ham in between hot buttered biscuits and serve with a sauce of creamed chicken and mushrooms. Acorn squash makes a supper dish when served with pork sau sage links. Add a teaspoon of onion juice to the gravy for added flavor. Quick sandwich: Mix liver sau sage with catchup and spread on bread. Toast under broiler.

Add milk and bread crumbs and shape lightly into six patties. Wrap each with strip of bacon skewered in place with a toothpick. Place on broiler rack and broil six minutes, then turn. Add pears to rack with a teaspoon of mayonnaise in each one. Finish broiling— 6-8 minutes. A pork sausage link may be used in place of the bacon, and should be placed on top of the patty. Tomatoes are perfect foil for the rather delicate flavor of lamb. In this dish, they are served with plenty of potatoes to stretch out the meat and make a hearty dish for win ter: Lamb-Potato Hot Pot.

Sprinkleailwithchopped parsley. It’s nice to serve fresh toast or English muffins with plain one-dish dinners. It adds a bit of glamour to the meal. Other hot breads tiiat go well with wintry meals — popovers, toasted rusk, biscuits, combread, pecan rolls.

The “Theater of Romance” broadcast was moved to a CBS Playhouse across the street from the theater, the curtain was held that night, and Martha skipped from the broadcast to the stage, to repeat her performance. It’s taken Harold Lloyd a long time to take to radio; the imme diate success of “Comedy Theater” —Sunday nights on NBC — proves that he should have done it long ago. He’s director and host of this unique program — unique because it’s the only drama show devoted entirely to comedies. The movie moguls are now after Lloyd—two companies are urging him at the moment to return to the screen. That’s a nice little assignment RKO has for George Raft. In “John ny Angel” he’ll play “a two-fisted guy in the middle of mutiny, a miss ing cargo of gold and an affair with a mystery blonde.” Signe Hasso has been borrowed from Metro to as sist.

WASHINGTON.—Those around the White House say that this time the President really means business when it comes to cleaning out his Cabinet. Of course, this word has been passed out so often that some intimates are keeping their fingers crossed. However, it is a fact that Roosevelt is now faced with some situa tions he cannot escape, other situa tions which have made him sore. In the former category is Cordell Hull’s health. In the latter cate gory is Jesse Jones. As a result, various names have been put in the Wliite House Cabinet hopper and are being examined carefully. Here are some of the names which may feature in the new cabinet. Secretary of Commerce—Marrin- er EccIes1 now chairman of the Federal Reserve Board; or Leon Hen derson; or Chester Bowles, now OPA administrator; or Beardsley Ruml1 author of the Ruml tax plan and considered a liberal big-busi- ness man. Secretary of Labor—Dan Tobin, head of (he teamsters’ union; or John Winant, now Ambassador to London and former head of the In ternational Labor Office. Winant, however, would prefer to be Secre tary of State. Tobin, if appointed, is about the only AFL leader who would be acceptable to the CIO. Postmaster General—Robert Han- negan. Frank Walker, now Postmaster General, believes that the Democratic national chairman should also be Postmaster and, be ing a retiring person anyway, Walk- • er is ready to step out. Secretary of Agriculture—Roose velt is hoping to persuade Henry Wallace to take this job again. If not, Wallace will be offered the am bassadorship to Moscow, considered vitally important, or chairmanship of the international food organization. Roosevelt feels that it would be difficult politically to make Wallace Secretary of State because of opposition from Hull and Senate reactionaries. Secretary of State — Ex-Justice Jimmy Byrnes or Ambassador Wi nant. Appointment of Byrnes would smooth things down for Hull, who isn’t anxious to resign even though in the hospital. Hull would kick like a mule if Sumner WeKes or Wallace were to succeed him. Byrnes also gets along well with j Senate Foreign Relations chairman I Tom Connally and other reactiona- 1 ries. Secretary of the Interior—Harold Ickes. Attorney General-Francis Biddle. Roosevelt will not accept either Biddle’s or Ickes1 resignation. They were his top campaign speakers. NOTE-After FDR defeated Will- kie in 1940, Miss Perkins submitted her resignation. Her letter has been in the White House files since January 15, 1941. The President never acted on it. • * * KAISER’S MERCHANT FLEET Demon ship-builder Henry Kai ser thinks he has found an an swer to the burning question of how he can use some of the great fleet of merchant ships he has built, and still keep on buildiug more after the war. Kaiser plans to enter competi tion with the West Coast shipping lines, set up his own shipping business, try to emphasize smart salesmanship, cheap freight rates, mass orders. He says his only hope is a free and open market in the Orient, thinks he can do a more efficient job of shipping both to and from the Far East than a lot of old-line companies. * * * NAVY DEPT. RESHUFFLE Secretary of the Navy Forrestal finally has devised a plan to ele vate his old Wall Street friend, Struve Hensel, to the job of Assist ant Secretary of the Navy. He has been wanting to do it for a long time, but there were too many Wall Streeters running the Navy to add any more. Here is the new solution. You can write it down as definite that able John Sullivan, now Assistant Secre tary of the Treasury, will become Undersecretary of the Navy around January I. A New Hampshire Dem ocrat and no banker, Sullivan will replace Republican banker Ralph Bard, who came out publicly for Dewey. With banker Bard out of the picture as Undersecretary of the Navy, Forrestal figures he can then bring in banker Hensel as As sistant Secretary. Hensel already is chief of the Navy procurement legal division but wants a handle to his name.. . « ; DIPLOMATIC CHAFF fl.

J., with a score of 25 Jap planes, meet on Leyte. W -HAT was the best ball game ever pitched, when you con sider the combined quality of pitch ing on both sides? This query cam e up recently when we were wishing good luck to such war-zone travelers as Carl Hubbell, Mel Ott, Ducky Medwick, Dixie Walker, Paul Wa- ner and Paul Derringer. None of them v.ent back far enough to offer any complete check on the intricate sit uation. The only candidate for the honor present was Carl Hubbell, one of the great pitchers of all time who innocently became involved in the argument. As 1 figure it, “’•* there were three Carl Hubbell such games that be long in one compact and select group. The Brst took place in 1998 when Addie Joss of Cleveland beat Ed VValsh of the Chi cago White Sox I to 0. In this game lean and lanky Joss, a great pitcher badly overlooked, pitched one of the few perfect games in baseball. Not a White Sox reached first base. Against this flawless exhibition Ed WaIsh struck out 15 Cleveland hit ters and allowed only two hits. And in those now forgotten days Cleve land had a mighty slugging team headed by Nap Lajoie. No-Hit Game This was a pitching thriller that none who saw it will ever forget. I was talking about this game re cently with Charley Hughes of the Detroit Athletic club who also covered the big-arm contest. “That game is my pick,” Char ley said. "Except for one wild throw, neither team would have scored against Joss and Walsh be fore nightfall. There is no greater thrill than to see a perfect game pitched—no one to reach first—espe cially when the other pitcher is al lowing only two hits and fanning 15 men.” The next all-star double pitch ing entry we recall was the meet ing between Fred Toney of Cincin nati and big Vaughn of the Cubs on May 2, 1917. In that game these two pitchers turned in a double ex hibition that has never been j equalled. At the end of nine in nings neither had allowed a hit. j A double no-hit game in one after- i noon was something for the rec- ] ord. No-hit nine inning game3 are I rare enough and when you get two pitchers offering the same fare on : a single occasion, you get close to ' the limit. "What about the game,” Mel asked, “that Carl Hubbell pitched against the hard-hitting Cardinals July 2, 1933?” H urling 18 Innings j Hubbell promptly blushed. I “I’ll tell you about it,” Ott said. “Carl beat the Cardinals one to nothing after 18 innings. Tex Carle- ton worked the first 15 innings for the Cardinals and Jess Haines the last 3. They also pitched great ball. You have to, allowing only one run in 18 innings. | “But that isn’t all of it. If yon pitched perfect ball through 18 in nings, only 54 men would come to bat. Well, as I recall it, only 57 men came to bat against Carl that day. Maybe only 36. Now it’s great to pitch 9 fine innings. But think what it means to pitch 18 great Innings.” “How about it, Carl?” I asked. Carl changed the subject slight ly. “The best game I ever pitched was against the Dodgers,” he said. “That was Memorial day, 1940. They got one hit, but that day I had most of my stuff working.” “Better than your 18 inning game and your no-hitter?” I asked “I think so,” he said. “But that 18 inning thing was a long after noon.” “Here’s a funny angle,” Mel Ott said again. “Later on we beat Diz zy Dean and the Cardinals, one to nothing in the second game that same day—27 runless innings for the Cardinals.” Anyway, we have offered you three of the greatest pitchirg con tests of all time, slipping on back a mere matter of 36 years. There they stand on their own records_ The Joss-Walsb gem of 1908. The Toney-Vaughn jewel of 1917. The Hubbell-Carleton-Haines mas terpiece of 1933, 18 innings It would be interesting to get a vote from those who follow baseball as to which was the top master piece of the three.• * • A ll Around Fighters How many know that in addition to football ability this navy team has set a new record in the way of fighting or boxing talent?

After landing, Paul and Zorie overhear Paul's handsome brother, Steve, witb whom Zorle is infatuated, plotting with Winthrop Lannlng to deliver some radar equipment to the Axis. Believing Steve in danger Zorie rushes into the night to save him and discovers the body of beautiful Amber Lanning. Win* throp Lanning binds Zorfe and drives her to a cabin in the mountains. CHAPTER XV “Is there anything you can say to tne,” he asked gently, “that might be useful—on your behalf? Mr. Stromberg is a realist and a man of quick decisions. I do not know what he will decide to do, but I assure you I will do everything to save your life. You are so innocent and so beautiful.” “Will you tell me who Ah-nah is?" Zorie asked. “But of course, Miss Corey! I will gladly answer all of your questions. Ah-nah is Pierre’s way of pronounc ing Anna. He is referring to one of the bravest, cleverest, most bril liant, most dangerous secret agents who ever lived—Anna Boland. She was an English girl, of about your age—an amazing person. She was shot by a firing squad in Berlin six months ago.” “Do I resemble her?” Mr. Lanning laughed, sharply. “My dear girl, you are Anna Bo land! It is the most amazing re semblance I have ever known.” “Is that why Pierre threw me overboard?” “Yes—and for other strangely co incidental reasons. Do you recall the night in the rain in EUeryton when you met Steve Duncan?” “Yes.” “What you may not recall was that, while you were talking to Steve beside that telephone pole, a sedan —a pale green sedan—came along. Do you recall that?” “Yes.” “I was in that sedan. So was Pierre. We saw you talking togeth er. As we passed, Steve Duncan pulled you behind the pole.” “Why?” said Zorie. “Steve explained that to us very lucidly. He did some very quick thinking. He had seen your amaz ing resemblance to Anna Boland. Then he recognized me in the sedan. He reasoned that, in spite of our belief that Anna Boland was dead, your resemblance to her placed you in danger. He pulled you behind the pole to protect you.” “Might you or Pierre have shot me—something like that?” “I would call that a very remote possibility,” Mr. Lanning answered. “In spite of his lazy way, Steve Duncan thinks with great rapidity. He was simply taking no chances.” "And, of course,” Zorie said, “That made you suspicious.” “At least it made us very curious. But we did not see you well enough that night to notice your remark able resemblance to Anna Boland. It was later, when we saw you on the ship, that we pieced things to gether. In Elleryton, we merely thought that you and Steve were be ing extremely furtive.” “But there were other suspicious circumstances. One was your pos session of a certain engineering pa per on the retooling of the Waffen- fabrik Krupp plant for increased war production. It was the sort of document Anna Boland might have had. Another item was your steno graphic notebook.” She wondered why he was going to all this bother. He didn’t have to explain anything to her. Certainly he expected to learn nothing of im portance from her. Back of his air of solicitude was a quality that puz zled her. Why, she asked herself, was Mr. Lanning being so out spoken? Mr. Lanning paused. He took an other drink. “You realize, of course, that Pi erre killed Amber by mistake. When your fiance made that unfortunate disclosure on the lanai, I knew that Pierre would go berserk. It has taken all my persuasiveness, all my ingenuity, to keep him in hand so far. All along, he has been very suspicious of Steve—and certain that you were Anna Boland. If he kills Steve, he should be here at any mo ment. When he finds that you are still alive, he is apt to be quite upset. “You see, Anna Boland was some thing of a legend. Every time she was killed, she popped up some where a little later—more alive than ever. Pierre has already killed you twice—once by drowning, once by strangling. He is a very supersti tious man. His face, if he comes into this room, will be very interest ing to watch.” “With you,” Zorie said, “insisting that I am not Anna Boland, and with Pierre insisting that I am—why didn’t you check up? Couldn’t you somehow have radioed Berlin and confirmed Anna Boland’s death? I’ve lived in Elleryton all my life. It would have been so easy . . .” Mr. Lanning jumped up. “But, my dear girl, that is the most amazing part of all. The day before Pierre tried to drown you, we sent two radiograms, one which reached Ber lin, in round-about ways, the OtJer to a man I happen to know in Chi cago—a faithful man—but not too intelligent. I instructed him to pro ceed at once to Elleryton and send us a brief report on you, to be fol lowed later by a more detailed report. “My message to Berlin must have fallen into the hands of .an over cautious clerk. I said, in substance, ‘Is Anna Boland dead? Her dupli cate is aboard this ship under very suspicious circumstances . . .’ The answer said: ‘Perhaps it was Anna Boland’s double we shot.’ Of course, that bolstered Pierre’s suspicions tremendously, but not nearly so much as the answer we received from the man I sent to Elleryton. This will amuse you very much, Miss Corey.” Mr. Lanning paused for another drink and Zorie wondered if any thing could ever amuse her again. “His reply, decoded, said literally this: ‘Zorie Corey left for Hawaii on fourth. Was employed by Professor Bowdoin J. Folsome past four Mr. Lanning paused for another drink. months. He says she is too smart. His wife claims she is a very suspi cious character. Full report later.’ ” “That,” said Zorie grimly, “is very, very funny, Mr. Lanning.” He started to smile, but when he saw her expression he checked him self. “It is so curious, isn’t it? Steve told us about Mrs. Folsome’s tea in vitations. It should have convinced Pierre, but he is so stubborn! And Amber was almost equally stubborn. Incidentally, that ‘full report’ had not come when we left Honolulu.” Zorie wondered why he was so eager to explain, to answer all her questions. His solicitude for her plight did not wholly explain him. It was, perhaps, a natural instinct; but it went deeper than that. He was a little drunk, therefore gar rulous. But it was not just that. Perhaps, she reflected, it was his vanity. He was bored. He wanted to talk. And he was an exhibitionist. Recalling the night she had slapped Amber’s face, Zorie said, “Amber hated me." “On the contrary, Miss Corey, she admired you very much!” “On the assumption that I was Anna Boland?” “She was never quite sure about that. You see, Amber was not a se cret agent, Miss Corey. She was merely a girl of strong enthusiasms who sincerely believed in our cause. She asked repeatedly to be given a chance to help. She lived on Mar tinique and when the island went Vichy, she was one of our most loyal supporters. She was capable,” Mr. Lanning said thoughtfully, “but a trifle too enthusiastic—too inclined to take matters into her own hands. She had the ardor of the amateur. She hated to take orders.” “Wasn’t Pierre under your or ders, too?” Zorie interrupted. “In a lesser sense. Pierre has lived mostly in the United States, although the past two years he has been in and out of Europe frequent ly. In certain kinds of work, he is indispensable. His vanity makes him hard to work with.” “He is a brute,” Zorie said with feeling. “He is a beast.” “Yes. And he is sometimes diffi cult to handle. His two attempts at killing you were typical of Pierre. He tried to drown you because, if you actually were Anna Boland, you were an extremely dangerous enemy agent—to be liquidated. His mistaken attempt at killing you to night was similarly motivated. As he saw it, our work was done—the jig was up. We’d all clear out immediately. And you are still, to him, Anna Boland—a dangerous en emy to be eliminated.” “How do you plan to clear out—In a Japanese submarine?” He smiled and shrugged. “Per haps. There are so many ways.” “With this island so well guard ed?” Mr. Lanning seemed amused. “My dear girl, this little island hasn’t yet cut its war teeth. You saw how easily I got past those guards. Quite as easily I can clear out. As a war goes on, you learn many tricks, many ropes . . . I was about to say that Amber was an individualist, too, but easy to reach through her emotions. She very much enjoyed playing the part I gave her, which was that of the lovely siren. In an assignment of this nature, we al ways have a girl of her type along.” “The first time Amber saw me,” Zorie interrupted, “she stared at me as if I were a ghost. I know now she thought I was Anna Boland.” Mr. Lanning chuckled. "Yes, you gave her a dreadful shock.” “If she spent her life in Mar tinique, how did she know Anna Bo land?” “She did not know Anna, Miss Corey. Amber was a resident of Martinique, but she spent a large part of her life in the States. At least, she went to finishing school and college there. Miss Boland was pointed out to her twice—once in a New York night club, and once in Martinique. A large part of the treasury of France—something like four hundred million, in gold bul lion—is stored there, you know. Anna Boland was in Martinique, do ing a little snooping. “In spite of being a British agent, Anna Boland was Amber’s ideal. Anna was beautiful, clever—and a witch. She was quite in the tradi tion. She had no conscience. There was no trick in the bag she hesitated to use. To her, love was a weapon or a tool. Men lost their heads over her. Amber, in this assign ment, tore a page from Anna Bo land’s book. She used love as a tool. At least, she tried. “I instructed her to worm her way into Steve’s confidence, and, of course, the surest way to worm your way into a man’s confidence is to make him believe that you’ve fall en in love with him.” “She did it very well,” Zorie mur mured. “She was always jealous of you. She knew that Steve had fallen in love with you.” “That’s absurd,” Zorie said. Mr. Lanning shrugged. “Perhapsl I do not know. Love is a luxury that I cannot afford. I only know that Amber would not have qualified as a secret agent. She was too hu man.” “Or too wise,” Zorie murmured. Winthrop Lanning’s eyes were partly lidded. He looked more cyni cal than usual. “I think you would do marvelously in this work because your innocence is such an excellent cloak for your cleverness.” “I’m afraid I’m too human, too,” Zorie said. “Besides I could never work with you. You’re too suspi cious, too obstinate—” “In this work, my dear girl, suspi cion is—” “Ah, yes, I know! The one firm foundation! But I’ve listened to you argue. I’ve heard your opinions. You’re what we call, back in Ellery ton, a conclusion-jumper. I’ve sus pected this for some time, Mr. Lan ning. Now I’m sure. Suspicion is no longer your slave—it’s your mas ter!" Winthrop Lanning started from his chair. He was suddenly wary. "Just what are you saying, Miss Corey?” “I’ll give you a perfect example,” Zorie quickly answered. “You hon estly believed that what Paul Dun can said on the lanai tonight was the truth!” “It was the truth!” "It was a malicious lie! But you leaped at it because you were so willing to be suspicious! If you hadn’t become the slave of suspi cion, you would not have believed it!” “My dear Miss Corey,” he an swered with his most urbane smile. “I am not a fool. Perhaps I am always suspicious, but I am always clever, too. Sometimes I am al most psychic. Steve has been clev er—altogether too clever. He has had me fooled a great deal of the time. He almost had me fooled to night." “Do you realize,” Zorie stopped him, “that Paul did not know what he was talking about?” “Why did he say it?” “He and I happened to overhear your conversation behind the hedge with Steve and Pierre—your plans for tonight. Paul said what he did merely to upset Steve’s plan—by de stroying your trust in him.” Mr. Lanning was staring at her curiously. “This is most interest ing, Miss Corey, but I think you are being a little too clever yourself. Your fiance was very convincing. He accomplished his purpose nicely. But my psychic sense tells me that your fiance was telling substantially the truth.” “Why?” Zorie demanded. “Be cause it was a very dangerous mo ment for you! It was safer to be suspicious! You weren’t being clever or psychic! You were playing safel My candid opinion is that you picked that moment to lose your nerve!” Winthrop Lanning sank back in his chair. He was smiling mysteri ously. (TO BE CONTINUED) |MpROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAYIcHooL Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for December 10 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se* lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. CHRIST IN THE HOME LESSON TEXT-M atthew 19:4-6; Luke 10:38-42; n Timothy 1:3-6.GOLDEN TEXT—These things I command you, that ye may love one another.—John 15:17. The Allterican home faces many enemies and powerful destructive in fluences in our day. At times one wonders whether this most impor tant of all institutions has not so far departed from what God intended it to be that it has lost its place and power. In such a time, it is important that the Christian church keep be fore the people, and especially our young people, the Scripture teach ing about the home. We need to revive the old-fashioned home, with its piety, purity and high purpose in the plan of God. We begin right when we note: I. The Plan of Goa for the Home (Matt. 19:4-6). When Jesus was challenged by the Pharisees, who claimed that a man had a right to divorce his wife, He appealed to Scripture. That is the sure foundation for right think ing. He referred them to the story of the creation of man and woman in Genesis 2:18-24. There it is re vealed that in all the animal king dom there was no creature suited for fellowship with man. The one who finds full satisfaction in the company of a cat, a dog, or horse, is just not up to normal. Adam must have a “help meet” for him, that is, one suited by per sonality and gifts to be his compan ion. God made woman for that purpose and gave her to man. Thus He established the home and or dained that all through man’s his tory there should be the coming together of one man and one woman in that indissoluble union of love (v. 6) which makes the home. We have forgotten God’s law, or have deliberately violated it, and have broken down the home in its very foundation. We had better be gin to think seriously about the di vorce problem if we are not to go the way of other nations. II. The Presence of Christ in the Home (Luke 10:38-42). Christ repeatedly honored the home by His blessed presence. He came to the wedding feast at Cana of Galilee, and there He performed His first miracle (John 2). He should be the unseen guest at every Chris tian marriage. Invite Him, expect Him, honor Him, and He will bless you. One home in particular was a place of rest and refuge for our Lord when He was here on earth, that of His friends, Lazarus, Martha and Mary, in Bethany. He was a welcome guest, always at home in that household. Shall we do less in our households? We see mottoes in homes, “Christ is the unseen guest in this home.” How appropriate! But note that His presence in the home gives Him opportunity to teach and to direct the life of the home. Mary and Martha had both been busy about the work of the household, but Mary knew when it was time to stop being busy and sit at Jesus’ feet to learn and to be blessed by His presence. She not only worked, but “also sat at the Lord’s feet” (v. 39). Martha went right on working until she was dis tracted, and came to censure her sister. The answer of Jesus is signifi cant. He did not rebuke Martha, He only told her to get her life into balance. There must be work in a home, but those who make home only a workshop miss its greatest blessing. Home should be a place of sweet fellowship between the mem bers of the family, and especially between them and the Lord. III. The Power of Faith in the Home (II Tim. 1:3-6). Family religion really pays. The home with the family altar, where God’s Word is read as a natural and proper part of daily living, where prayer is made, and God’s good ness is remembered in thanksgiving ' and praise, that home will send forth children who know the grace of God, and are prepared to heed His call for service. Timothy had a grandmother and a mother (one wonders where papa and grandpa were) with unfeigned ’ faith. What a precious heritage! That was far more valuable than silver or gold, or farms or comer lots. What heritage are you giving your children? Note the reference to Timothy’s work as a minister of God in verse 6. It was by the Holy Spirit’s call, and was recognized by the church in I ordination, the “laying on of hands.” ' But it is evidently closely connected with that which is spoken of in the verse before—the faith of his home. There is power In that faith to send a boy forth to valiant service for God and to keep him faithful in the day of trial. Give your boy and girl something really worthwhile to remember when they think of home. Put the power of faith in the home back of their lives in public for God, SEWING CIRCLE NEEDLEWORK Popular Pineapple Design Doily Lovable Sleepy Tim e G ift D oll Illinois OoiIy /'"'VRIGINALL Y made by a rela- '-'tiv e of an Illinois woman, this replica in the popular “pineapple” design is very simple for mod ern crocheters.

It points our tremendous war effort definitely in the direction of the Pacific. During the first five war loans Americans were primarily thinking in term s of beating Hitler. Now our government asks us for a loan of 14 billion more dollars of which five billion dollars must come from individuals. Why? Haven’t we nearly finished off our so-called Number I Enemy? Can Japan hold up our powerful war machine very long? Your son, brother and friend in his Pacific foxhole wouldn’t raise such questions because they are up against realities, not day dreams. They kill or are killed. They pray every waking moment for a sky-darkening cover of friendly planes. They thank America for giving them the finest medical care in the world when their ren dezvous with destiny in a Pacific jungle is at hand. They know the war with the Japs is just beginning. Here are some other Pacific realities so that you will under stand why there must be a Sixth War Loan and why it is absolutely necessary that it be a success: The Allied Military Command has estimated that it will take years, not months, to lick Japan. Japan’s present army numbers about 4,OQO1OOO with 2,000,000 more men available and fit for military service who haven't been called up to date. Another 1,500,000, between the ages of 17 and 20, are not yet subject to the draft. The Jap Air Force is growing. In addition to millions of native workers, Japan has a potential slave force of 400,000,000 conquered people. 50% of Japan’s labor force is made up of women. Another 25% boys and girls under 20, the balance men. The Jap workday is twelve to sixteen hours with two days off a month. The Jap cannot leave his job, change it, or strike. The highest daily wage equals about three Ameri can dollars—30% to 75% of which goes to taxes and compulsory savings. The Jap, as our men in the Pacific know, will fight to the death. As far as the Jap is concerned, the outer Empire—and the men who defend it—are the expendables. The Jap will fight the Battle from inside the inner Empire. The Jap believes that we shall weary of war too easily and too early. In the invasion of France, supply ships had an overnight run to make. In the coming Battle of Japan, ships in the Padific will have long-reached round trips that often take five months to make. These realities are worth thinking about before you keep your home front rendezvous with a Victory Volunteer. Perhaps you will feel that the national personal Sixth War Loan objective— purchase of at least one extra $100 War Bond—is entirely too small for you. The better we face the realities confronting our forces in the Pacific the quicker the whole bloody business will be over and the sooner we will welcome home our fighting men. That’s an American realitv to work for with all our dollars and our sweat.

We are told to hold fast to Christ, to His commandments, to truth, to righteousness, to grace, to vour faith in God, to the love which He has shed abroad in our hearts, and to all the means of grace, and ev ery principal of the Christian re. Iiglon. There is no time nor place when we can give it uo and expect to receive a crown in heaven. There are those, however, who would make us believe if once we are con verted we can backslide, compro mise with the .devil, go back into tbe same sins from which we weie redeemed, ruu with tbe same sin ful, wicked crowd, and live sinful, wicked lives, and we will get to heaven anyway. This is very dan gerous doctrine. It can’t be sub stantiated by the Word of God. It Is not reasonable to believe such erroneous teacLing. Our text warns us against false doctrine, and this is one of them. It is true that God will receive tbe backslider back again when he comes deeply repenting, and giving up all bis sins and turning abso lutely away from them; but no where does God recommend drift ing away. He alwavs warns a- gainst it, lest we lose our crown of everlasting life Lost we fail to reach heaven, the wonderful, bles sed home of the soul. And what God warns us against we had bet. ter take heed to. There is olways great danger in disobeying God, and going against His warnings and His will. Israel’s first king, namely Saul, who was godly when he was chosen 01 God to rule over Israei, drifted into sin, disobeyed God, and net only was forsaken of God, hut died as a suicide. King Solomon, who was likewise once a very godly man, drifted into idola try, committed adultry by having mauy wives and concubines, and we uave no account whatsoever that he ever repented aud got back to God. We are to bold fast to Christ and His salvation through prayer, by reading and heeding the teaching of the Bible, by obedience to His will, bv worsbipjng Him in spirit and in truth, and by a life of faitb- fulue s, lest men influence us to go back into sin and wickedness, and thus lose our crown. Some faith ful soul may get tbe crown, then, which God has reserved in heaven for us. “ Hold fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown/’ This is life’s better way. “ H o m e ” T o w n A m e ric a Someone has truly said that the soul of America abides in its small towns—the ''home” towns which one never forgets where’er be may roam. There are many reasons for this, and one may be that in our “home” towns the people know eacl. other— as human beings. n»t just names, as neighbors n the street, at Weekly luncheon clubs, in lodge or in church. Thus, some place along the line tbe factorv president is going to meet his employee, the farmer will meet the "city” man—and the three of them will discover ihat they are not so different in what they think and hope and work for. Tbe great national groups that, are Aymbolizvd under the taes of man agement, labor, agriculture are 0 >r ehould be) nothing more fearsome than the projection iii agereirate of th^se three "home” town neighbors.

To others, 15c. 1 9 4 4 C h ris tm a s ^ e a l Fortv years ago this Christmas season, a postal clerk in Demark saw the realization of a year-old dream. Day after dav, as I e sort ed letters, his thoughts had turned to the poor children of his country suffering from tuberculosis. One day, in the midst of the Christmas rush of mail, it occured to him that stamps could be used in alleviating the sufferiug of the sick- He oh. tained permission from the King of Denmark for the sale of a stamp which bad no value in conveying a letter hut was of infinite value In saving lives. Thus; in the winter of 1904, Einar Hohoell, the Danish postal, clerk, put on sale the first Christmas Seal The same year an organization had been formed in United States called the National TuherculosisAssociation The pur pose of this organization was fun damentally the same as Holboell’s to combat the While Plague. They adopted the Danish postal clerk’s idea of tbe seals as a means of fin ancing this work. Todav the North Carolina Tuberculosis Associaiion is only one ameng tbe many affiliates ef the National Tuberculosis Asso- cia'ion which sells Christmas Seals for health’s sake. Thisyearthe NTA. wishing 10 honor the great postal systems, has choseu for the symbol on its Seal a postman This is the more appro priate hecause it was a postal em. ployee who 6 rst thought of the Christmas Seal. Behind this sym bol lies the whole story of commu nication, from the tomtoms and sig nal fi es of primitive man, tbe run. ners of early days, the stage-coach., to ocean liner, airplane, telegraph and radio of todav. Since the NTA was organized in 1904, tbe death rate trom tuber culosis has been cut 75 per cent. Yet it still takes a life every nine minutes and kills more Americans between the ages of 15 and 45 than anv other disi.ase. In North Ca rolina alone it killed over 1450 peo ple last year. Undoubtedly progress in the con. trol of the disease has been made; iu fact, it might be said that the fight is about over. To the con. contrary, everyone must fight hard, er and more relentlessly—joining in this "all-out” fight bv buying tbe seals that save lives.

M a y P r o s e c u te E le c tio n T h ie v e s Raleigh—The State Board ot E- lections, meeting here for its offic ial canvass of vote returns from tbe November 7 general election, certi fied an official vote of 790,554 and recommended “vigirous prosecution and prompt punishment of persons in Davidson County found guilty of elections law violations.” In turning over to the State At* torney general and tbe solicitor of the Twelfth Judicial District its findings In the Davidson case, the board said that "evidence indicates a scheme for wholesale fraud In vo ting civilian absentee ballots, and it seems plain that the election law violations have been flagrant, bold and defant ” The board said an official protest challenging the validitv of some 204 civilian absentee ballots and ■-harging torgery and fraud in con nection with the handling of the oallots had been filed with tbe Da vidson Countv election board. Ii «aid, however, that no charge had been filed against any member of the county board or any person on its staff The entire election board met with the Dividsnn County board in an advisory capacity at Lexington on Nov. 15. A ftertnebearing it announced that “ unless such evi dence was questioned or contradic. ted there was sufficient evidence that substantial law violations oc curred in the county and that fur ther proof would be merely cumu lative.’’ Referring to the Davie . County case, a statement issued yesterday by Col W. T Joyner of Raleigh, chairman of the State board said: “Tbis board recommends that the law enforcement officials of tbe State cause further investigations of the election laws shown by this report and tbe attachments and of the parties responsible therefor, Tbis board further recommands that the persons found to be re sponsible for and connected with these election frauds be prosecuted. “ The hoard believes that it is its duty to express its views as to tbe gravitv of this situation, “ The evidence indicated a scheme for wholesome fraud in voting civi lians absentee ballots. Tbe use of a single post-office box as the voter’s address for each of 119 abseotee ballot applications was such a bold device as to amount to substantial defiance of tbe election laws and tbe State’s enforcement machinery. “ It seems piain that the elec tion law violators have been flag rant, bold and defiant.

N o N e w D e a l M a n d a te From administration exptessions and action during the first three weeks after the election, tbe bureau sees broad ontlines of a postwar “se cond New Deal” taking shape . Indications have not been lacking that the more ardent New Dealers regard the election of President Roosevelt for a fourth term as a mandate for continuation and ex tension ot a>l New De .I policies and practices and the inauguration of of additional ones. But ihe Administration and the Congress had better analyze the election returns very thougbly be fore too much is taken for granted as to any mandate trom the people. It should be taken into account that the President’s popular major, ity was the smallest be ever bas re- caived; that a few hundred thous and votes distributed in a few stra. tegic states constituted the only dif ferences between defeat and victory for tbe Democratic party and its presidential ticket. . Tbe Administration and Con. gress, including New Dealers, ought to know that a great number of people, perhaps in every state, vot ed for Mr. Roosevelt only because of the war situation and tbeir be lief that he could serve tbe Nation better than Governor Dewey in handling tbe problems of interna tional relations during tbe critical period of transaction trom war to peace and in working out a per manent peace program with O-ir al. lies. Vast numbers ot those who voted for the President tor that reason are opponents of many of the New Deal policies and practices and would have supported Governor Dewey except for the war situation and the critical problems involved in our foreign relations. It is altogether probable that bad tbe election turned on tbe single issue of tbe New Deal, Governor Dewev would have been elected — Charlotte Observer.

Or, mix mayon naise with shredded cooked beets, chopped hard-boiled egg and pickle relish. For lettuce, cabbage or fruit salads, you’ll like peanut butter blended with rich milk, honey or sugar and salt to taste. To use French dressing for fruit salads, sweeten with honey and add a dash of lemon juice for taste. Sour cream is an ideal dress ing for mixed fresh fruit salads. Add vinegar or lemon juice to sour cream and season with salt and pepper. Chopped apples and sliced bananas may also be added to the dressing.

Agnes Moorehead MOOREHEAD doesn’t hold with those ancients who believe that genius thrives on mis ery and an empty stomach. Everyone — actors, musicians, painters, even plumbers and ditch diggers—do their best work when they have a full belly and are free of worry, maintains Aggie. “It stands to reason,’’ says she, “that a person can’t put forth his best effort if he’s unhappy or if in the back of his mind there is gnawing worry about the butch, er, baker, or re action of his asso ciates.” Agnes is con vinced that those great musicians and artists of the past whose talents flourished ’midst poverty had some sort of compensating happiness; either they were in love or they had wonderful friends. The actress, who in 1943 won the New York critics’ award for her performance in “The Magnificent Ambersons,” thinks a “relaxed and happy atmosphere’’ stimulates an actress or actor to far better per formances than tension and repri mands ever do. She liked the company and part she played in “Mrs. Parkington”— and why not? Agnes was the rival of Greer Garson for Walter Pid- geon’s affections. O ne B ig , H a p p y F a m ily “We were such a happy com pany,” said she. “Everyone was relaxed and understanding. That attitude was reflected in our ef forts.” Agnes, a New York stage and ra dio actress before Orson Welles drafted her to play the mother of “Citizen Kane,” maintains our pic ture industry is more considerate of actors than the stage. .. “On the stage you have to elbow your way through your career. Here it doesn’t much matter whether you’re a star or a bit player. There’s always someone near-by ready and willing to give you en couragement. At least,” die added, “that’s been my experience.” It wasn’t until after “The Mag nificent Ambersons” that she de cided to remain here. Before sign ing a contract with M-G-M she al ways free-lanced, figuring to obtain a greater variety of roles in that way. But her roles have been pretty varied; though, with the exception of a brief appearance in "Big Street,” each has been a “nasty character.” Her nastiest, Agnes thinks, is in “Dragon Seed,” with Katie Hepburn. She played the part of a Chinese Quisling. But she was hateful, too, in “Since You Went Away.” “I play the kind of character you all know exists but, thank heaven, rarely encounter.” That’s what she said, but we’ve all met that kind of women—let’s face it. B lissfu l Ig n o ra n ce Agnes admits she knows noth ing about “camera angles” and has no intention of learning. She’s far more concerned that her part be in teresting rather than that it be too long. “It’s my hope to make each por trayal different,” Agnes said. “I’d hate to get into a rut.” Well, there’s very little chance of that happening. Aggie, like the late great Alice Brady, is an actress who loves her job, will play anything or everything if she thinks it’s got merit or is different from the ordinary run of parts. I remember years ago sitting in a vaudeville the ater with Alice when there was a monkey act on. Alice sat on the edge of her chair. I asked why. She replied: “Who knows? I may have to play one of those critters some day.” The public, of course, will decide how well Aggie manages different roles, and they’ve been pretty pleased up to date. Agnes uses a French accent in “Mrs. Parkington,” and does it so convincingly a visitor on the set asked Director Tay Garnett: “Where did you get that French dame?” “I only got the role by the skin of my teeth,” Agnes declares. “After all, Aspasia isn’t one of those bitter, nasty, frustrated women I usually play. She’s warm, charming, chic. Also she’s been loved by one of the most fascinat ing men of the century.

First step will be further revitalization of Re publican headquarters, enlistment of a cracker-jack staff to pep up party machinery. Republican Chairman Herbert Brownell, who has been resting in Arizona, wants to resign, will call a national committee meeting short ly after the first of the year which promises to be turbulent. Several factions will be gunning for Dewey, may try to seize control of the party machinery, set the stage for “Stas- sen in ’48." One key man in the post-election GOP set-up is shrewd, popular pub licist Lee Chesley1 who joined the campaign late, is now in charge of national committee publicity. Ches- ley, one of the brightest press agents on the Washington scene, is anxious to slug it out toe to toe with Demo cratic publicist Paul Porter. Ches- ley's Washington predecessor, Car lisle Bargeron, handled publicity for the powerful Pennsylvania GOP ma chine during the campaign, and plans to continue working for Boss Joe Pew now that the balloting is over. :• * • !

There has been nothing in sport to match the crowd appeal Notre Dame carries, no matter where the game is played. To keep an attendance record at such high mark for 20 years is something beyond the tale of the book. In those years, I can recall a crowd as high as 101,000 for a Notre Dame- Southern California game in the big Los Angeles Municipal stadium. Certainly Notre Dame would draw another ca pacity gathering at Los Angeles this fall if extended travel restrictions hadn’t ended the old ri valry for the time being. This sea son again, Notre Dame has played to capacity in practically every one of her games'. In just three games, including the army clash, the South Bend troop ers added up a count of some 200,- 000 at Urbana, Baltimore and New York. It was packed-house business in each place—with many, many thousands unable to buy tickets. “Sold out” is usually the message weeks ahead when Notre Dame plays, wherever she plays. Notre Dame’s ten games passed the 500,000 mark, and lack of seat ing space is the only thing that keeps this count from beating the million mark. Color’s the Answer You might ask just why this is so. The answer is simple enough. It began under the colorful leadership of Knute Rockne, plus the influence of Notre Dame’s faculty. The crowd long ago began to sense the fact that Notre Dame teams not only played fine football, but they were teams that gave the game spirit and sportsmanship. From the Four Horsemen and the Seven Mules to the 1944 team, No tre Dame has given the crowd what it wanted to see. In the last 20 years I’ve seen Notre Dame beaten, but I’ve never seen a dull Notre Dame team. I’ll admit that through most of this period Notre Dame has had the jump in material. Good, young foot ball players want to go to Notre Dame, for Notre Dame has the big edge in national headlines. Yet No tre Dame plays in no bowl games, no post-season games, and you might be surprised to know how , many young or budding stars pick I colleges who might be eligible for one of the big bowls. No one can question the fact that through the last ten years Notre Dame has meant the top in football to millions, to more millions than any other team. - How About the Others? What about Minnesota’s many great teams? What about Michigan or Ohio State? In the main these teams stick to the Middle' West. They have had teams better than Notre Dame. But Notre Dame cov ers the football map. The roving Irish may play in Ixis Angeles or in New York. They come to Balti more. They invade Atlanta. They take on all comers. They cover no restricted territory. And if you look over their record you’ll know Notre Dame has done better than just av erage. Navy finally won, and then Army, after waiting many years. Until this year’s 594) victory, good Army teams hadn’t won from No tre Dame since 1931, a matter of 13 years ago. Army hadn’t scored on Notre Dame in the last five sea- CLASSIFIED D E P A R T M E N T H E L P W A N T E D • Persons now engaged in essential industry will not apply without statement of availability from their Iocsi United States Employment Service.

SNAPPY FACTS ABOUT RUBBSR The size of the country's synthetic rubber production may depend not only upon technical progress, but also upon policies adopted for dis* posal of government-owned plants, in the opinion of John L.

Authorities expect that about 32,500 tons of natural rubber will reach the U.S.from the Amazon ian region this year.

I admire your skill. You are one of the cleverest girls I have ever known. With a little training, you could become one of the most talented women in the profession.” “I don’t know,” Zorie said inno cently, “what you’re talking about.” He laughed genially. “That, my dear, is Answer B. It is always good, when delivered in just that way . . . Miss Corey, I am really very serious about this. If you can make up your mind—if you can per suade Mr. Stromberg that you are heart and soul in favor of our cause, if you can show him a little of this cleverness—I would back you up. And you would walk out of this cab in, alive and free.” “How," Zorie asked, "could you back me up?” He bent toward her. His expres sion was very serious. “Would you have to be lying? Miss Corey, I have important work to do else where. I badly need someone to re place Corinne. I am sure you would be precisely the person I need. The work is interesting. Your salary—” Mr. Lanning relaxed again. He was sadly shaking his head. “No. I can see by your eyes that Mr. Stromberg would never be con vinced. You would be lying. And Mr. Stromberg has a talent for squeezing the truth from liars as these grinding mills squeeze the syr up from cane. Perhaps there are other approaches. I am so anxious to help you. I will be most un happy if you do not live to see a Waimea sunrise.” “I am not in a position to argue with Mr. Stromberg,” Zorie said quietly. “You’ve given me no argu ments. I don’t even know the back ground. And I’m still very skeptical of the conclusions you’ve jumped to.” “In respect to Steve?” She nodded. “Yes. Please be lieve me—I am not in Steve’s con fidence. I know very little about this. But I am not convinced that Steve has been disloyal to you. Will you consider the evidence as I see' it?” “I will gladly, my dear.” “Very well. Everything was go ing smoothly, according to plan, un til Paul made his announcement that Steve was still in the United States Navy. Did he prove it? No! You were all on edge tonight. I sensed that. The first mouse you saw, you all went to pieces. Paul supplied the mouse.” “Just a moment,” Mr. Lanning in terrupted. “Let me give you the background, very briefly. Let me tell you quickly about Berlin and Madrid. Do you know that Steve got into Germany strictly on the strength of his court-martial? I am now certain that that court-martial was a trick.” “But can you prove it?” Zorie asked. “No. But there are other points. In Berlin, he enlisted the sympathy and confidence of certain men pow erful in our party, but when your country virtually broke with Ger many, Steve was suspected more and more.” “Why?” “We believed he was obtaining se crets from a certain woman who was close to ene of our leaders.” “But did you prove it? Can you prove anything, Mr. Lanning?” “I can, indeed, Miss Corey. Steve was ordered on ten minutes notice to leave Germany. I was instructed to scrape his acquaintance, find out what I could—kill him if I believed he had betrayed us. That was my sole assignment.” “But you didn’t kill him." Steve Duncan is a very clever young man. In Lisbon, I managed to meet him. I introduced myself as a fellow martyr of Naziism. I had spent a few months, six years ago, on this island working as a field luna. That was why I was selected for this assignment. It gave us a bond. We were old pals!” “Did you work on Stromberg’s plantation?” “No. I did not know Stromberg then. Steve and I had two weeks in Lisbon, waiting for a passage to New York. Steve spent this time convincing me he loved Germany more than life itself. He is such a persuasive rascal.” Zorie wondered if Steve had suc ceeded in persuading Pierre Savoy ard not to kill him. “Can you prove to me that he was lying?” “Yes, Miss Corey! One night, in Lisbon, he mentioned having learned —from a secret but authoritative source—of a magical new radio de vice which the United States Navy had perfected and was trying out here, in Kokee. It would detect air planes at a distance of a thousand miles.” “Fifteen hundred, he said to night.” “Yes, Miss Corey. That was, I fear, more of Steve’s red herring. He is so clever with red herring. It sounded plausible. It excited my curiosity." “Why shouldn’t it?” Zorie asked. “You haven’t yet proved that Steve lied to you.” “But I am convinced that there is no such device as JY-419! If there is, it is certainly not in Kokee!” “What convinced you?” “But I am explaining it, my dear!” “Go on,” said Zorie. “Very well, my dear. I am now fully convinced that this informa tion which he gave me that night in Lisbon—we were both a little tight— was the first step in an elaborate and foxy scheme to trap Basil Stromberg.” Zorie started to interrupt again. He said quickly: “I will explain that in a moment. I was so taken in that I communicated, by long dis tance telephone, with my chief, in Berlin. He was very excited about it. He told me that two very capa ble people would meet me in New York to give me every possible as sistance.” “Pierre and Amber?” “Yes." He smiled swiftlv. "You thmk it strange, don't you. that I am being so utterly frank with Zorie wondered if Steve had suc ceeded in persuading Pierre not to kill him. you—withholding nothing. Why, aft er all, should I?” “You heard Steve use that very, very clever simile—likening the job of getting JY-419 out of this island to a play in a football game?” “Yes. I thought it was very in telligent.” “That, my dear girl, was next to his final move in the foxy game he was playing with us. It was the big moment toward which he had been working. And it was so plausible! Only for an instant did the wing tips of suspicion brush my mind. Meanwhile, Berlin had become ex tremely anxious to secure JY-419. You may not suspect it, Miss Corev, but nations are sometimes quite as gullible as individuals.” Zorie was shaking her head. “Mr. Lanning, you haven’t yet advanced an atom of proof that Steve isn’t loyal to Berlin. Your only piece of evidence is the statement made by his brother. He made that state ment out of sheer vindictiveness.” “Why was he vindictive?” “Because he has always hated Steve. Long before I met Steve, Paul told me that Steve had been kicked out of the navy, had turned Nazi and gone to Germany. Even when he was saying what he said on the lanai tonight, he still be lieved that. He refers to Steve as ‘that Nazi’!” Mr. Lanning was smiling mysteri ously. “I am convinced that if your fiance did not know the truth of what he was saying, he inadvertent ly stumbled upon it. It had the curi ous ring that nothing but the truth has.” “It had nothing but a malicious, vindictive ring!" “I am very sorry, Miss Corey. We differ, don’t we? I was about to say that Berlin had become extremely anxious to secure JY-419 so that it had communicated with Mr. Strom berg—” “Who,” Zorie took him up, “is the leading Nazi here—the man who directs all your espionage activities in Hawaii and works closely with the leading Japanese agents?” Mr. Lanning smiled at her admir ingly. “You are such a clever young woman! Not much suspicion can have touched Mr. Stromberg—he is so clever himself and such a credit to the community—but let us saj that he was delicately suspected.” "Just the wing tips,” Zorie sug gested. “You might compare Mr. Strom berg to the unknown element in a chemical formula,” Mr. Lanning an swered. “His presence is known, but his identity remains obscure. United States Army and Navy In telligence and the F.B.I. have been looking for a man who fits the for mula, but Mr. Stromberg is so elu sive, so ingenious, that he has re mained virtually unsuspected. Who, after all, would be justified in sus pecting a man of his position, his importance, his avowed American ism? And what could be more nat ural than that a man in his busi ness should make trips frequently to Honolulu and the other islands— to keep in touch with his many busi ness interests?” “He must be very clever, indeed,” Zorie murmured. She was, she be lieved, beginning to see the effects of this prodigious quantity of alcohol on Winthrop Lanning. He was be ginning to become just a little gar rulous. It was obvious that he was a great admirer of Basil Stromberg. "This device, this JY-419.” Mr. Lanning continued, “was intended to trap Mr. Stromberg. Berlin had or dered him to participate, if neces sary, in securing it. And tonight you heard Steve making it impera tive.” “But if there is no such device ...” Zorie began. “One moment, my dear. Let us give Steve credit for possessing a resourceful mind. Let us assume that his superiors are giving him all the co-operation he requires. Why can’t we safely assume that there is a case weighing between eighty and one hundred pounds in a small, padlocked building at the listening post? Why can’t we assume that it was arranged for Steve and Pierre to get in there safely, secure it and make off with it?” "And then,” Zorie added, “to have been followed discreetly by sailors who would grab Mr. Stromberg and the rest of you when Steve and Pierre delivered the case?” “Of course!” Mr. Lanning cried. “Why not?” Zorie hesitated. The suspicion had crossed her mind that Mr. Lanning’s argument was every bit as good as her own. Every scrap of evidence that either of them had employed could be used to prove that Steve was a patriotic American or a true- blue Nazi. But her mind wavered only a moment. And regardless of where the truth lay, her only safe course was to convince Mr. Lanning that she was right and he was wrong. “Because it’s entirely an assump tion!” Zorie said crisply. “Why can’t you as safely assume that Steve was telling you the truth, that a case containing JY-419 is at this moment in a little padlocked building at the listening post—and would very short ly be safely in your possession if you weren’t so skeptical?” “The case,” Mr. Lanning stated, “contains a large collection of burned-out radio tubes, useless con tainers, and other discarded acces sories.” “But you’re only assuming that!” Mr. Lanning bent toward her again, so that Zorie could see a great deal of the yellowed white under his irises. “My dear girl, you are being very obstinate. And the important thing we are facing is not whether Steve Duncan has been loyal to Berlin, Germany, or to Washington, D. C. It’s quite obyious that you’re in love with this man. You are doing your best to restore my faith in him. You are wasting your time, Miss Corey! I know I am right.” He again glanced at his watch, “The important thing is, to have something ready for Mr. Stromberg when he arrives. I may not be here. If he does not come soon, I will have to leave you here alone I am extremely valuable, not only to my employers, but to myself.” He got up. He picked up the bot tle. It gurgled into his mouth longer than usual. He put the bottle down. He walked to the kitchen door and stopped. He looked at Zorie for some time. He slowly shook hij head. “Sometimes,” he said in a puz zled voice, “I wonder myself if you aren’t really Anna Boland!" For the first time since dinner, Zorie smiled—a faint stirring of her lips at the comers. Her arms felt numb. For some time there had been no sensation in her hands. Her feet were asleep, too. She noticed again a curious, pungent, mouldy odor that she had first detected when she had come into this room. “It’s your suspicious nature,” she said. “It’s what I’ve been saying. As for Steve’s treachery to you—. where are all these proofs?” “I gave them to you!” he cried. “But you didn’t, Mr. Lanning. In spite of your suspicions, in spite ol your lucid reasoning, you have not proved that Steve has betrayed you. You have not convinced me that JY-419 is a case full of radio junk.” So much time had passed that it was unlikely that Steve would come here—that he was still alive. There was only a dwindling possibility. She wished her hands were free. In moments as intense as this one, it is so much easier to talk persun sively if you can use your hands.

CHRISTIAN LIVING AT ITS BEST LESSON TEXT-Galatians 5:22 ■ 5:10. GOLDEN TE X T -If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk In the Spirit.—Galatians 5:25. Life and profession must be in ac cord. To follow Christ means more than embracing a creed, or following a ritual; it calls for daily living of the highest type. Herein Christianity differs from all other religions. It is a living faith in a living Lord—which pro duces a living testimony. Such a life is: I. Spiritual (Gal. 5:22-26). The Christian receives his new life through the ministering of the Holy Spirit. Since that is true, “let us also walk by the Spirit” (v. 25). Ev ery child of God (not just a few, as some suppose) is to live this kind of spiritually fruitful life. The works of the flesh, horrible in their wickedness and lust, are listed in verses 19-21, and then by striking contrast we have the fruit of the Spirit in the life of the Christian. Note the distinction: work is some thing we produce; fruit is something that grows. Walking in the Spirit the Christian finds in his life the inward graces of love, joy, and peace. These then express themselves outwardly in long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-con trol. The Spirit-filled man is not only a good man, he lives a good life. II. Gentle (Gal. 6:1). Christiantity is not harsh and un forgiving toward one who has sinned. Certainly there can be noth ing but stern condemnation of con tinued, flagrant, impenitent sinning. But toward the one who has failed, the winsome attitude of loving res toration should be the first reaction. There) is good reason for this, for God is (kind, and Christ would not quench the smoking flax (Matt. 12:20). Then who are we, weak and fallible human beings, to treat an erring brother with hardness? III. Kind. (Gal. 6:2-5). We are to help the brother in need, lift his burden and bear it for him (v. 2). At the same time do not go around expecting anyone to bear your burden (v. 5). Ask God for grace and bear it yourself. If your brother helps you—good. If not, do not be offended. Too many Chris tians expect others to help. Then there is the need for kind ness in thinking of oneself, and one’s neighbor. Pride is self-deception (v. 3). It puts God against us (James 4:6). We will have no time or occa sion to judge our neighbor if we honestly appraise our own life (v. 4). IV. HonoiaUle (v. 6). While the Christian will not be seeking any glory or reward for himself, he will always be honorable in caring for those who serve him in the gospel. Salvation is free, and no true preacher or teacher of the gospel would set a price on it. But the necessities of life must be pro vided, and it is the obligation of the one who is served to “communi cate” of that which he has to his teaching brother. It need hardly be said that if the church had obeyed this and similar admonitions found in many places in Scripture, we should not have the disgrace of an underpaid ministry, of an understaffed church, and of missionaries waiting to go with no money to send them. Let us be Hon orable about this matter. V. Consistent (Gal. 6:7, 8). There is an inexorable law which brings only the harvest which is planted. Too many Christians are trying to reap the fruit of spiritual ity when they have sown only the seed of indifference and worldliness. It can’t be done! Self will is always struggling against God’s will in the life of the Christian. Sowing to the flesh means yielding to self. And the result? Cor ruption. Yes, even in the life of a Christian. How much there is of that, and how it hinders God’s work! There is here the important truth that the one who sows to the Spirit reaps eternal life. That speaks of salvation itself, but it also speaks of spiritual development. VI. Diligent (Gal. 6:9, 10). It has been said that we have three classes in the church—work ers, jerkers and shirkers. The shirk er does nothing. One wonders wheth er he is really saved, since there is no sign of life. The worker is the one upon whom one can always de pend. The jerker is the one who takes hold mightily, and then is gone when you most need him. Christian living at its best calls for consistent, persistent, diligent application to the work of God—not only today, but tomorrow, and the next day, and the next! Note the suggestion of special thoughtfulness toward our fellow Christians (v. 10). Some folk oper ate on the opposite principle. They treat their fellow believers with a little extra coldness—a special de gree of suspicion and criticism. That surely is not Christian living at its best.

Many people carry shadows Bv the gloomy lives they live, By their grouchy way of speaking, And by what they do and give; But there is a way of living That is better far than this. Blessing men with sunny brightness Helping them to jov and bliss. You can carry sunshine, neighbor, Carry sunshine day by day, Which is done by righteous living, Yes, by what you do and say; And it makes you feel ranch better And your teliows that you meet. When your face is wearing sunshine And your voice is kind and sweet Carry sunshine by your smiling, Bv your gentleness and grace. By the prayers you breathe for others And the kindness of rour face; Bv the love your heart possesses, By the sympathy you show. By vonr patient way of dealing With your friend or with your foe. Carry sunshine to the neepy, To the sick and to the sad; To the men and to the women Who are good or who are bad; Though sometimes 'twill cost you money, Cost you effort, work and time; But to be a sunshine toter Is both noble and sublime. You will ne’er regret it, neighbor, As the years of life go by. For it’s this that makes you bappy While yon live and when you die; Then when you shall meet the Master After you have run your race, You shall not be disappointed When you see His smiling face Nicotine Appeasement? One thing cautiously avoided by tbose officials and others who tty to explain th; cigarette shortage is the question of whether and how many of the smokes are going to toreign countries, especially >0 those neutral hut still being appeased. Let's bope Spain isn’t getting any She gets gasoline and oil. It would be disgusting to know that Dictator Franco is puffing American cigaret tes. And it would be shocking to learn that Argentine is smoking A- merican made fags. Are the Ital ians getting them—tbose people who lately shot American soldiers? Some figures on foreign ship ments would be enlightening. It was called a tobacco leaf short age until manufacturers hooted at that and furnished figures. Then it was called a man power shortage age but in any city one sees man power walking the streess. It may be part of a general pro gram to appease nations not worth wooing—as we sens scrap iron, gasoline and oil to Japan practical ly up to the attack ^n Pearl Har bor.—Coarlotte Observer Land posters at this office. Te the People of this Community The best way to observe the defeat of Hitler is to buy an extra War Bond. In thousands upon thousands of American homes today there is pride and sadness. From these homes have come fighting men who died to bring us this far on the road to decisive victory over all our enemies. It will take more sweat, more tears, more toil, more and greater individual War Bond buying before we see Japan in the ruins these barbarians of the Pacific planned for us. How much more blood and tears depends on every individual American war worker and Bond buyer.The Sixth War Loan symbol—a bomb hurling down on the Rising Sun—can only come to reality with your individual help. Buy at least an extra $100 War Bond above your normal payroll savings. That’s the least you can do to back up your fighting men.THE EDITOR. “Did Not TeII AU” General IsenHower told ns that a shortage of shells bas cost the lives of American boys. He did not tell its the following facts: I. That the production of war snppliss is Mr. Roosevelt’s job, not his, nor anv other soldiers He did not tell us that he has kept np with his job, but that Mr. Roosevelt bas fallen down on his by permitting, encouraging and prolonging strikes, which have cut production of supplies 3. He did not tell us that the shell and cigarette shortages and and others, were kept hidden from the mothers and fathers of these dead boys until after Mrs. Roose velt was re-elected. 4 . He did not tell us that, like all real soldiers, he loathed and de. spired political trickery like this, and that be was on the radio by no choice of his, "as a smoke screen,’’ to keep the mothers and fathers of these dead boys from see ing that Mr. Roosevelt alone is to blame for the shortage which has cost ard is costing, lives of onr sons, and will cost more before the end. The fault is Mr. Roosevelt’s. Many who voted lor Mr. Roose- velt did so trusting him to do his job on the production front, as Eisenhower and McArthnr are do ing theirs on the fighting from. Mr. Roosevelt’s first duty was to produce and deliver war supplies. He failed, since he would not crack down on strikers, because be want ed their votes. And he kept this death-dea'ing shortage hidden nn til after the election. Fathers and motheis'ot soldiers, do vou care? If so, yon can write to your congressmen and senators and demand that Congress take over the job that Mr. Roosevelt has refused to do. End these strikes, end these stabs in the back, that have brought death to bovs on the battle line. - A.

I take several papers but I first look at my Davie Record I God’s holy Bible Is alamp toour feet and a light for our pathway here in this war stricken and sin- cursed world. The holy Bible is the book of all books, and God is its teacher. The Bible stands pre-eminent, its interesting stories and well told narratives, its deep wisdom and sound logic, its dignified language and its elevated themes all make it worthy of universal reading and careful study As an educating power nothing will equal the Bible. The Bible is without a rival. It gives a calm peace in believing and a firm hope of the future- It solves the great p oblem of life and des tiny, and it fills tbe heart and soul with love for God and a desire to treat all men as we would have them treat us Sometimes it fills our hearts and souls with such joy, peace, love and happiness it makes us shout tbe praises of God, and we are not ashamed to say so. The Bible is the only book we need to read and study and follow in order to make heaven onr home. God said, "I am the way, the truth and the life.” We have de pended too much on what someone else has said rather than God’s holy word. I know that we have some great writers and can write some great books, but they are not God’s book. Who’s idea is host, God or man’s? We know God Is tbe author of the Bible and the teacher also, so what more do we need? He tells us the things of God are spiritual and that they are spiritually de- scerned. and if you lack wisdom ask of God We have heard many people tell whar caused the war, and most all of them differ. I say it is because we as a nation, have foTgot’en God ’And they shall be cast into bell with all nations that forget God. Wby have we forgotten God? Because we discarded his holy Bi. hie to a great extent. There are some that are holding on to God and the word. If there had not we would have been completely de. stroyed. It is not the straight out sinner that is cansing this war, it’s God’s people that have gone away from the Bible Listen to God’s word: CAN THE LORD DEPBID ON YOU AND MB "IF MY PEOPLE WHICH ARE CMLED BY MY NAME.

If vou want to know just what I think about our cottdition, I will give it to vou. We’ve all sinned and come short of God’s glory, and that we as a church, need to re pent, not one but all. The trouble is too much with the other fellow. No, it isn’t I, it’s he or her. When we come before God just like we shonld, every one of us, aud let Him take our pictures or inventory, we will see clearly that we all have fell short to a great extent May God heip ns )o read and study His holy word more, and study it prayerfully, and turn front all our sins, not part of them, and humble onr-elves in the sight of God, and he will lift ns up.

I BUY MORE THAN BEFORE ■ v W A R B O N D S A Statistical Myth A favoit'c statistical myth pro minent by goremment spokesmen, is that since Pearl Harbor only one- tenth of one oer cent of man hours have, been Io-' bv strikers in war plants. In two ir.- nces of late tbe lie has been yi- rn to these mythical figures. A one-day strike of 4 0 00 to 6,000 maintenance workers in'tbe Detroit area has ju-t forced inline, diate idleness upon some 30,000 to 60,000 workers. Because the men who keep tbe assembly lines and equipment in running condition re fused to work, the production workers had to be sent borne. In another case, the strike of a few thousand transportation employes tied up two million people, 900,000 of whom were war workers. As the New York Timesdeclares of this statistical myth: ’ It can not be too often pointed out that such statistics are essentially mean ingless, not only because they fail to take into consideration the a. mount of idleness that a strike in voives, but because they ignore how vital the particular production may be that ts brought to a bait. "The value of the products of the entire soft coat industry of tbe United States, to cite but one ex- aole, amounts to only one per cent of the national income. If a strike stooped it for an entire year, the statistics might shew that there were no strikes in 99 per cent of in dustry. But everyone knows that such a strike would bring practi cally our entire war production to a halt in a fe v months.” —Ex.

Boast Pork Rings in a Merry Christmas(See Recipes Below) Yuletide Plans Merry Christmas and the best of Yuletide greetings to you! Christmas has always seemed to me one of the most interesting sea sons of the year as far as food is concerned. It’s then that you can bring out the best recipes for your favorite foods and put on the best feast your table has seen. Your choice of meat may be roast pork, roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, or one of a beautifully roasted fowl. Rel ishes add color and spice to the meal, vegetables will beautify the table, and desserts can add the rich finishing touches to a fully satisfying meal. •Crown Roast of Pork. Select the ribs of a young pig and have the crown prepared at the market. Wipewith a damp cloth and sprinkle with salt a n d p e p p er. Dredge with flour and place on a rack in a drip ping pan so that the rib ends are down and the meat part up. If this is not possible have meat part down and wrap each of the rib ends in salt pork or thick slices of bacon. Cook in a moderate oven, al lowing 30 minutes to the pound. When ready to serve, place the roast on a large platter and garnish each rib end with a plump cranberry. Fill the cavity with buttered string beans and julienne carrots. Ar range candied sweet potatoes around the outside of the platter. Place potatoes alternately with cin namon apples. If rib roast of beef is your choice and points are low, get one of the utility grades of beef and cook it until tender: Rib Roast of Beef. Select a 2 to 3 pound rib roast, wipe with a damp cloth and season with salt and pepper. Place the roast, fat side up, in a roast ing pan and bake in a moderate oven until tender and easily pierced with a fork. Forty-five minutes before roast is done, prepare the pudding: Xorksbire Pudding. I cup sifted flour V* teaspoon salt I cup milk 3 eggs, well beaten Sift flour and salt together. Add milk and eggs and beat vigorous ly with a whip beater. Place a spoonful of drippings from the roast into muffin pans and pour bat ter into them. Or, pour around the roast in the roaster and bake about 15 minutes at 400 degrees F. This pudding puffs up just like popovers and must be served immediately. It must be beaten thoroughly as the lightness of the mixture depends upon ffie air which is beaten into it. Vegetable Platters. There are many vegetable combi nations that make up the colorful platters that are so desirable at a big holiday dinner. Suggestion I. Arrange cauliflower in center of platter and surround with French style green beans and julienne carrots. LTNN SATSt Platter Suggestions: Use large platters to prevent overcrowding. Garnishes or food should never hang over the edge of the plat ter. Tomato wedges, cucumber slices and radish roses are old stand-bys for garnishing. Fringed celery, stuffed celery sticks, pickled orange or onion slices, gherkins cut in fan shapes, car rot curls, stuffed olives or green pepper halves filled with cream cheese help pretty the platter. Christmas Dinner. CranbeiTy Fruit Cup •Crown Roast of Pork Juliemie Carrots and Green Beans Candied Sweet Potatoes Cinnamon Apples •Potato RoUs Pink Grapefruit and Onion Salad Assorted Relishes and Jam Beverage •Mincemeat Fruit Cake •Recipe giveq. Suggestion II. Make a spinach souffle in a ring mold and serve creamed mushrooms in center and browned mashed potato rosettes around the outside of the ring. Suggestion III. Make a green pea ring and serve creamed onions, carrots or parsnips in center. Suggestion IV. Serve carrots or green beans in a mound on center of platter, and al ternate parsleyed potatoes and beet around the cen ter vegetable. If you require a sauce to serve with vegetables, here is a good tangey one: Mock Hollandaise Sauce. 2 egg yolks I tablespoon water I tablespoon lemon juice Vi teaspoon salt Vs teaspoon pepper or paprika IVi tablespoons butter I tablespoon flour I cup boiling water Mix and stir weU the first five ingredients. Set aside in top section of double boUer. Melt butter, add flour and when it bubbles, add water slowly, stirring constantly. Pour in egg mixture and cook in double boil- er until smooth and thickened, stir ring constantly to avoid curdling. Serve hot rolls with your favorite jam or jelly: •Potato Rolls I cup potato water Vi cup mashed potato Vi cup water (lukewarm) H cup sugar I yeast cake I' teaspoon salt 4 Vi cups sifted flour 14 cup shortening Crumble yeast, add salt, sugar and water. Add potato and potato water. Stir in flour to make a soft sponge. Blend in melted shortening. Add remainder of flour and knead until smooth. Place in an oiled or greased bowl. Let rise for 2 hours. Knead. Let rise until double in bulk. Shape into rolls. Placed on oiled sheet or muffin pans. Let rise again until light, about 30 minutes. Bake 20 to 30 minutes in a 400-degree oven. If you forgot to make your fruit cake early this year, here is a simple one that does not require too much fruit since it is made with mincemeat. Good, toot •Mincemeat Fruit Cake. Vi cup shortening 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 3 cups prepared mincemeat I cup raisins Vi cup candied lemon peel Vi cup candied orange peel I cup currants I cup chopped nutmeats 3 cups sifted cake flour I teaspoon baking soda H teaspoon salt Cream shortening and sugar, then add lightly beaten eggs and beat thoroughly. Add mincemeat, fruit peel and nutmeats. Sift dry ingre dients together and fold into the mixture. Pour into paper-lined angel cake pan and bake in a very slow (275 to 300-degree) oven for 2 to V k hours. This makes a three pound fruit cake. Get the most from your meat!

What would you like for Christ mas? Could anything be better than to find for your heart and mind that spiritual safety, certainty, and joy which transforms life? Well, that is exactly what Jesus came to bring mankind. It was the first Christmas gift, and it is the best gift this year too. I. Safety (Luke 2:8-12). Men need deliverance from their sin. They needed it when Christ came. They need it today. Tney must have a safe refuge, one in which they may rest secure. All the efforts of this world to meet man’s need are vain. As Jo seph Parker put it: “The world did not want an adviser. The world had advised itself almost into hell. The world did not ask for a specu lator. Everything that man could do had been done, and men sat in the darkness of their own wisdom. The world did not want a reformer, a man who could change his out ward and transient relations, an en gineer that would continually de vote his time to the readjustment of the wheels and the pulleys and the various mechanical forces of soci ety. The world wanted a saviour.” Jesus came as Saviour. The good tidings revealed to the faithful shep herds were to be “of great joy to all people” because they presented the One who could bring them re demption from sin. That revelation is ready to be made again this Christmas, and as ' it came to the shepherds at their work in the field, so it may- come to you on the battlefield, in camp, in the air, under the sea, in the kitchen, the factory—yes, anywhere. We rightly go to our churches to wor ship on Christmas Day, but let us remember that Christ is every-- where, seeking each one — yes, knocking at your door. Will you let Him in? Then you will have Christ mas indeed! II. Certainty (Heb. 1:1-4). God has spoken through the cen turies in the messages of many faith ful servants. We do well to give heed to God’s Word through them. But after all they were only serv ants. This message of redemption is so vital and fundamental that God sent His Son, Himself the Redeemer, to declare it. How final, and definite, and bless ed is that truth. The heir of all the eternal glories of God the Father, and Himself the effulgence (or the flashing forth) of the glory of God, has spoken God’s last word—His certain word — about redemption from sin. We all know how full of uncertain ty the world is, how our own minds are distressed by the very uncer tainty of countless things about us. What a precious gift from God to realize anew the absolute certainty we have in Christ. He came to save, to satisfy, and to keep us. Note that He has all the needed authority and power to carry out His loving purpose (vv. 3, 4). He who “made purification of sins” for us to believe, is divine. He has all power. He is glorious beyond our ability to describe. He is God. We can rest in perfect assurance in His redemption. HI. Enjoyment (I John 1:1-4). God knew the need of man for real joy if life was to be pleasant and profitable. Being a Christian was never intended to be a somber, doleful business. No, indeed. “These things we write,” says John, “that our joy may be made full.” What did he write? By inspira tion of the Holy Spirit he wrote of Christ, “the Word of life.” He had seen and known Him, the Redeem er. He had fine and uplifting fellow ship with Him, and declares that we too (as believers) share in that fel lowship. One of the bright and gladsome things about the Christmas season is our fellowship with our family and friends. It brightens the whole holiday season. How much more delightful is the fact that we have “fellowship with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ." Tluit fact really “makes” Christ mas! Many will be separated from family and friends this year, but Christ is there, and they may have this most precious of all friends with them. The empty place around the family table will be filled (if we wish) by the Lord Himself. Let’s keep Christmas with Him as the un seen but nonetheless real Guest. In fact, let us do even more than that, let us count Him into the intimate fellowship of our family circle (and two can make such a circle). That is what He wants to be—to you and to me—this Christmas Day, 1944. May his joy be yours in full measure. That is the wish of the writer of these lines, and it goes from his heart to the very last read er who may be in the uttermost part of the earth. A blessed Christmas to youIi S k iin g as a S p o r t Although skis have been used as a means of travel, especially by armies, for at least 4,000 years, as evidenced by a runner of that age now in the Nordiska museum in Stockholm, skiing did not be come a sport, even in the Scandi navian countries, until 1860. The sport did not become popular in the United States until after 1920.

DoonelIWins Again The count is finally all in and Gov ernor Forrest C Donnell, of Mis souri, has been elected to the United States Senate, the only Republican in that state to win in the election of November 7. A tabulation of offi cial canvassers from all except Sulli van county gave him a majority of 2152 votes over Lis Democratic op ponent, Attorney General Roy Mc- Kittrick. There are but 84 disputed votes in Sullivan county and should all of these go to McKittrick he he would still be defeated. Thus Governor Donnell will go to the United States Senate to sit in the seat occupied for a long time by De mocratic Senator Bennett Champ Clark who was defeated' in the De mocratic primary by McKittrfck. The total vote in the November 7 election, counting absentee ballots, soldier votes and all show Donnell 779.834 and McKittrick 777,582. Kappa News. Mr. and Mn.

CONGRESSIONAL BROADCASTS Although congress has consistent ly refused to permit its proceedings to be broadcast to the taxpayers who foot the bills, one New York radio station has now taken the bull by/'the horns, will dramatize con gress to its listeners once a week. Station WMCA, New1York, has de cided to take the most interesting portions of each week’s debate on the fioor of the house and senate, re broadcast them with actors.portray ing the legislators, give the public a sample of what sort of representation it is getting in the nation’s capital. ;■ , .,, The idea was originally proposed to Florida’s Sen. Claude Pepper By WMCA’s new owner, former Federal Housing Administrator Nathan Straus. Pepper then introduced a resolution in the senate urging that debates be broadcast, but has been able to get nowhere with his resolu tion. c Meanwhile, Straus polled the ra dio industry on his plan, found that many other stations want to do the same thing and will probably broadcast dramatizations similar to that being worked up by WMCA. Congress can’t stop stations from dramatizing its debates, so will probably watch its speeches more carefully when it learns what is be ing done.* * * MANPOWER SHORTAGE The War Manpower commission is considering a drastic new plan to provide manpower for war plants which are now having difficulty getting enough labor. In the shortage areas, accord ing to WMC’s new plan, factories which have recently been put back on peacetime production after hav ing worked on war contracts will be closed until the war plants have sufficient labor. This should remedy the fact that workers are flocking to those plants which have already been reconverted, figuring that the jobs there are more permanent. * • • PRICE OF BUTTER DP Because OPA’s dairy price chief, Arnold J. Burke, refuses to place a ceiling price on cream sold by producers, the price of butter may soon go up five cents per pound. This is to permit butter-makers to compete with ice cream and cream cheese manufacturers in buying cream. The latter have been getting better prices for their prod ucts, so have been able to pay more for cream than the butter factories. To solve this inequality, the War Food administration has proposed to OPA that the price of butter to the public be increased five cents per pound. Despite its attempt to hold down prices, OPA may have to go along. This increase will not solve the problem, though it will, mean slightly more butter. Early this month, the butter industry advisory committeee urged OPA to place a ceiling price on cream at the producer level, but Burke would not consider it. icidenta TOD CAN’T BUT n o n in aspirin than the assurance of quality and purity guaranteed nhen you buy 6t.

I HOW GUERRILLAS OPERATEThe American mission’s report to the White House is a very human document. It tells a vivid story of the lengths to which free people will go to fight an aggressor. With no ammunition to speak of — per haps averaging 20 rounds to a man —Chinese guerrillas will attack a much stronger Jap force in order to take away their supplies. One of their most effective weapons is home-made dynamite, manufactured from saltpetre, ,and, sometimes mixed with odds and ends of metal to make hand gre nades. Dynamite has been too pre cious to use in blowing up railroads, so the guerrillas rip up railroad ties and rails by hand. To thwart them, the Japs now rivet their rails to gether. So many telegraph poles have been sawed off by the Communists that the Japs now have to go to the trouble of making concrete poles. F ly e rs M a p B a d L u c k fo r Jap an ese They talk it over, lower photo, and load them up, upper photo, for attacks that repaid in part the debt owed the Japs for their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. B-29s carry tons of destruction on each trip into the land of the “setting sun.” Flew medals are awarded, but the hits are effective. ‘C a rry in g C o a ls to N e w c a s tle ’ * \ ; W* -1 X .V W " f P » I FlltnIlMflliM Members of the U.

C. GEORGE K W O R T S W-N-U-RELEAs^ THE STORT THUS FAR: Zorle Corey, Wbo Ib in love with Paul Duncan, is rail* soaded into taking a job she does not want, helping edit the memoirs of his grandfather, Admiral Duncan. While aboard ship bound for Hawaii she is Ihrown overboard, but is rescued. Be* tore arriving at the isle of Oahu, Pearl Harbor is bombed. After landing, Paul and Zorie overhear PauItS handsome brother, Steve, with whom Zorie is in* Satuated, plotting with Winthrop Lanning Co deliver important radio equipment to tte Axis. Believing Steve in danger Zorie tries to rescue him, and runs across the body of Amber Lanning. Win* tfbrop Lanning accuscs her of the crime tod drives her into the mountains. CHAPTER XVII “All you have to go on is what Paul said—and he was maliciously Pying! He hit on the simplest and curest way of destroying your faith tn Steve. My whole argument, Mr. (Lanning, is that Paul inadvertently Hricked you into losing your nerve— and that you've ruined your chance forever to secure for your princi pals a weapon as vital as the fa mous bombsight!” Mr. Lanning pushed himself away from the doorjamb. He walked slow- 5y toward her. “I wonder,” he said, "if you’re just being clever." “I’ve used nothing but plain, mid- western, horse sense!” “Stop using it!” he snarled. “You don’t honestly believe that Steve is a traitor to his own country—do Vou?” "Of course I do!” He started down the room again. He whirled on her. “What have you to gain by this? Is this what you’re planning to say to Strom- berg—to show me up?” “Would it save my life?” “It would not! Isn’t that obvi- «us?” “Yes, Mr. Lanning. Very obvi ous. AU I wanted was to make you see that Steve had not betrayed you.” “But why?” he cried. “You are Tiolently pro-American! You are a chauvinist! You have absolutely no (sympathy for our cause! Why have you gone to such trouble to persuade me that Steve is loyal to Germany?” . “Because,” Zorie murmured, “in my heart, I believe it.” Mr. Lanning bent suddenly over She table. His cheeks were puffed out. He blew a sharp breath into the lamp. The flame went out. With all that brandy in his system, Zorie .reflected, it should have blown up. Ilie blue beam of his pocket light was flickering around the room. Then she heard the sounds that be had evidently heard. She heard, above the diminuendo of the rain, the sucking sounds of feet being pulled out of the mud. Then she heard a man’s heavy breathing. In the darkness, Zorie held her breath. If it was Steve, he was saved! Tnoy would both be saved! Mr. Lanning had tiptoed out of She room. She heard his voice at She door, then another voice, but 1Slie words were unintelligible. ’’ Then Mr. Lanning said: “Come Sn here. There’s someone here I want you to see.” She heard the round of mud- •uaked shoes crossing the living- ioom. The bright blue spark of the pocket light returned. Someone struck a match. Mr. Lanning mut tered profanely as he touched the hot lamp chimney. Then the flame licked up and steadied as he put the chimney in place. But she was staring at the door way. She hardly recognized the man ■who stood there. One eye was closed and black. One cheek was swollen. Blood was leaking from one corner of the man’s mouth. His scrubby icd hair was so mixed with blood and purple-red mud that he looked as if he had been scalped. His shirt collar was gone. His white dinner jacket was coated with purple-red mud. The left leg of his black trousers was missing from the .knee down, and the bare leg exposed was covered with mud. Only by his sloping powerfil shoul ders did she identify him as Pierre Savoyard. He was staring at her. He was leaning backward as if he would at any moment fall over. He ifcked bis bleeding, swollen lips. “No!” he said softly, “It can’t fee!” "What are you talking about, Pi erre?” Mr. Lanning inquired care lessly. “That girl!" Pierre’s voice was a squeak. “I killed that girl with my earn hands!” Winthrop Lanning slmigged. “And before that, you drowfled her.” Pierre started toward the chair In which Zorie sat. “Keep away from her!” Mr. Lan ning said sharply, “Don’t touch her I” Pierre's big, hooked hands fell at Us muddy sides. He swayed. wYou made a mistake,” Mr. Lan- ■teg explained. “It was Amber you killed.” "Amber!" “Yes. But It's none of my affair any longer. You can answer to Mr. Btromberg. You are too impetuous, Pierre. I am afraid that Mr. Strom- berg will not be at all pleased with you. Here. Drink some of this. You need it.” Pierre took the brandy bottle. His band was shaking. Some of the fcjraivly missed his mouth and ran Sown off Iils chin, with the Uood and the red mud. He managed to empty the bottle, mostly into his mouth.Winthrop Lanning took it out of his mud • smeared hands and said: ‘,‘Where is Steve?” “Dead.” Mr. Lanning gazed at Pierre and said, “It must have been a close thing. What happened?” “He was almost too quick for me,” Pierre answered. “Where did you leave him?" “In the mud—off this road a quarter of a mile away:” He sat down heavily in a chair and stared at Zorie. Her heart had, for a mo ment, stopped beating. She was sure that, in another instant, she would fall out of this chair, unconscious. “I let him think everything was all right,” Pierre said. “I told him nothing. I let him take me almost to the listening post.” “Why?” “Why not? I’ve forgotten the lower part of the Kokee Road. I wanted to come here. I wanted company. When we got to the turn-off, I had my automatic ready. I told him just what his brother had said. I did not think he would move so iK “No,” he said softly. “It can’t be." fast. He was on me before I could pull the trigger.” “Wait a minute!” Mr. Lanning said sharply. “He jumped you the instant you told him that?” “He did. The car went down a bank and rolled over with us in it.” “Wait a minute!” Mr. Lanning re peated. “This is very interesting, Pierre. I want you to be very sure of this for a very particular reason. The instant you told him what his brother said — without questioning you—he jumped you?” “He did!” “This young lady,” Winthrop Lan ning said, “has just gone to the greatest pains to convince me that Steve is loyal to us.” “She is a liar!” Pierre stated. “She is too clever for all of us. It’s what I’ve been telling you. It’s why I tried to drown her! It’s why I wanted to kill her down below!” “Miss Corey . . Mr. Lanning began. “Ah-nah Boland!” Pierre angrily corrected him. “Very well. Go on. What hap pened then?” “We got out of the car. I lost my automatic in the mud there. I don’t know how long we fought. Sometimes I thought he had me. It was raining. The headlights went out when we rolled down the bank. It was black. I killed him. He is back there in the mud by the car.” “Are you sure you killed him?” Pierre Savoyard lifted his heavy, sloping shoulders and let them fall. “Is there any question about it?” “Miss Corey,” Wiiithrop Lanning said gently, “I am really very sorry —for your sake. And you did have me completely convinced!" Pierre started up from his chair. He said harshly, “This woman is Ah-nah Boland!" “Pierre," Lanning said patiently, “once again—if this woman were Anna Boland, would Steve Duncan have been so stupid as to exhibit her so openly?” “Steve Duncan,” Pierre answered, "was bankirg on us believing that she was dead. She is not dead. She is sitting in that chair." “Sit downl*’ Lanning said sharply. “But why is she sitting in that chair alive?" “Mr. Stromberg will attend to her." “This place,” Pierre said, “is dan gerous. What time is it?”“Two thirty-five." “How will we get off this Island? How will we get out of Hawaii?” “Mr. Stromberg will arrange ev erything.” “He will not like it,” Pierre said ominously, “finding Ah-nah Boland here.” “See if you can find a bottle of brandy in the kitchen." Zorie hardly heard his voice. She was still so dose to unconsciousness that nothing had any meaning. The small room was swimming. The kerosi’ne lamp seemed to go dark, then its flame became bright again. She was trying to reconcile her mind and her emotions to these two facts—that Steve was dead, and that he had not been a traitor. She saw, as Mr. Lanning had seen so clearly, that Steve’s dangerous game had been an ingenious hoax, the sole pur pose of which was to trap the leading Nazi in Hawaii. It left her stunned and limp. She was vaguely aware that the two men were still quarreling, with one of them insisting she was Ah- nah Boland, the other insisting she was not. She was vaguely aware that the rain had stopped. Water fell in short bright daggers from the eaves instead of in long wavering wires. A breeze sprang up and blew damply in her face. She felt cold and numb. A black thing that she thought at first was a bat came floating in the window on limp black wings. It was followed by another and anoth er. She realized they were giant moths. One of them brushed her face. The great black wing was damp and cold. She opened her mouth to scream, but no sound came. The giant black moths fluttered aimlessly about the room. One of them, with slowly flapping wings, flew behind her. She was sure she felt it settle in her hair. She felt chills all through her body. Then she saw the centipede. It had evidently crawled out of the kitchen. She had never seen a cen tipede like it—brown and shiny and fully eight inches long. It crawled along the other side of the room. It was so large, so mon strous that she was sure she was imagining it. Then Mr. Lanning saw it. He cried: “Look at that thingl Pierre! Don’t stamp on it! We must find a buffo! We must find a buffo, Pierre, and try an experiment!” “What is a buffo?” Pierre inquired. “A giant toad. The buffos were imported a few years ago to kill the insects that eat the cane. I’ve heard that a buffo will kill a centipede.” He was panting. “Pierre! Fetch me a buffo! I want a buffo, at once! Take the flashlight. You’ll find one easily on a night like this. They’re swarming on a night like this!” Pierre’s surly growl: “Not now.” “Yes—now! At once!” “But—” “At once, I said!” “Very well, my friend. You shall have your buffo!" Zorie did not see him go, but she heard the door slam. The pungent mouldy smell she had been noticing seemed stronger. Mr. Lanning came over to her. He was no longer walking steadily. “Miss Corey,” he said, “you are so lovely, so innocent and so clever— and I am so sorry.” Zorie closed her eyes. “It is very curious,” he said. “Do you smell that? It’s sour honey. It’s in these walls. The wild bees find little holes in the outside walls and crawl inside and build their ccmbs and fill them with honey and then it goes sour. And there’s no way to get it out unless you tear the house down! Men are sometimes very fool ish, aren’t they? I am referring to love, my dear . . . men so often tear their houses down for a little sour honey.” “Here is your buffo,” said Pierre’s soft, low voice. Zorie opened her eyes again. Pierre had a huge gray toad in one hand, a long stick in the other. He put the toad on the floor and pushed the centipede toward the toad. It was the largest toad Zorie had ever seen. It squatted, with its head up, its little reptilian- eyes blinking in the soft yellow light. It must have measured fully seven inche9 across and it must, as it squatted, have measured fully six inches in height. Zorie closed her eyes upon a brain that was slowly reeling with sick ness. When she opened them, tho centipede was crawling over the buf fo, and the buffo seemed unaware of it. The centipede crawled over the toad’s reptilian gray face. When it was crawling over the buffo’s mouth, the mouth opened. The buffo gulped a fold of the centipede into its mouth. Slowly, the struggling centipede vanished into the toad. Zorie wanted to scream, but she hadn’t the strength to scream. Mr. Lanning was pounding on the tabla with a bottle.“They eat them!" he cried. “They really do!” Zorie now saw the long knife open in Pierre’s hand. She saw the flick of the knife as it flew from his hand to the floor. Its sharp point was imbedded in the floor an inch from the buffo. The buffo jumped. Pierre kicked it across the room and into the kitchen and out the back door. He returned and stopped before Zorie. His blood-and-mud-smeared face came close to hers. “Ah-nah!" he said in his soft, low voice. “Ah- nah!" She shrank back. And she knew in that moment the feeling of full hatred. She had once thought she had hated Amber. But her dislike of that arrogant girl had been the most tepid of emotions compared to the fury she experienced when this) man put his swollen filthy face so> dose to hers. (TO S B COOTXMtlEDt THE FACTS O N THE COFFEE SIT U A T IO N A Statement by the Producing Covnfries , Mn. George C Thierbach, Presideui I National Coffee Association 120 Wall St., New York Dear Mr. Thierbach: In view of the various reports that have appeared for some time fn die press of this country' relative to both the supply and prices of coffee, and in view of recent statements from re sponsible sources to the effect that the responsibility for the solution of these problems rests with the producing countries, the Pan-American Coffee Bureau has decided to submit to you i a clarification of the factors involved In the great crisis which now faces the coffee industiy I of Latin America. > The Pan-American Coffee Bureau has, without exception, always scrupulously abstained from * expressing any opinion or taking any position with respect to any of the war-time regulations' ?■'or restrictions imposed in the United States. As a foreign agency the Bureau has rigorously refrained from direct or indirect interference In any manner, in subjects concerning the internal economy and policies of this country. This po!icy_ has been strictly adhered to, as can be testified to by the National Coffee Associa tion ana during recent years, so fraught with difficulties and problems for the coffee industry, the Bureau has concentrated on cooperating with the National Coffee Association, the various government agencies of the United States and the producing countries for removal of diffi* culties,' an early solution of existing problems, and faithful adherence to all war-time regulations. We have considered these policies as the least we could do in order to reciprocate the favor*; able and cooperative attitude shown by the government, the trade and the public of this country towards the Bureau and the entities which the Bureau represents. However, it does not seem to me to be necessary to deviate from our policy in order to submit a concise statement of facts as they affect the Coffee producing industry of the Western'Hemisphere. Coffee Prices Reached All-Time Low in 1940 Following the outbreak of the European War, with its consequent closing of markets for about1 10 million bags of coffee produced, in Latin-America, the price of coffee already greatly depressed because of a long period of over-production, because of abandonment by Brazil of the price support policy which it followed until 1937, and because of restrictive tariffs in various consuming countries—(colonial protection in Continental Europe and Imperial preference ia * Canada and Great Britain) reached the lowest levels in history. These disastrous levels, starvation prices if permitted to continue for any length of time would have resulted in ruin for the coffee industry of Latin-America, and in economic chaos for the 14 coffee producing countries of this Hemisphere. Such a catastrophe would have resulted in deplorable social and political repercussions, 'I would have opened the doors of the Americas to dangerous extremist ideologies which wen making bold experiments in Europe and what is most important; would have cut off vitally; Important markets in Latin-America for United States industries. Ceiling Price Set Below 30-Year Average The completion of the Inter-American Coffee Agreement, in which the United States pan* j ticipated, averted this calamity. The coffee market slowly recovered and prices reacted in a healthy manner until they reached, late in 1941, a level which was then acceptable or even satis- 1 factory when compared to the disastrous depths to which they had fallen In 1940. It should be noted at this point that the sole basis for the acceptability of these prices was the fact that they represented a partial recovery from the all time lows afore-mentioned, which - obviously cannot be taken as a fair basis of comparison. When war-time conditions made necessary price control in this country, green coffee prices were frozen at the levels prevailing in 1941, levels which as we have seen were at that time acceptable to the producers. However, it is clear that these so-called "recovery” prices of 1941 were far from remunerative, when it is considered that they were still about 5% below the average of the past 30 years. Coffee prices still continue frozen on that basis today, at the end of 1944. Production Costs Substantially Higher With this background, the present situation may be summarized as follows? a) The agricultural and industrial wages, local transportation, the cost of machinery and other articles which coffee producers import, etc., all rose substantially between 1941 and 1944 (in some cases up to more than 100%) which increases have been fully reflected in highly increased cost of coffee production. But the prices of coffee continue frozen on a 1941 basis and therefore, coffee producers at present have to produce coffee and to live in 1944 at 1944 costs while their income is frozen at 1941 levels. Abandoned Coffee Trees Portend Disaster b) This state of affairs is already resulting In the abandonment of millions and millions of ‘' coffee trees throughout Latin-America and in the failure adequately to care for and maintain plantations still In production. If this situation is prolonged there will be an inevitable collapse of the coffee industry of Latin-America. As the war stimulated the demand for meat, cotton, and grain, many producers have found a temporary and precarious compensation in raising cattle and growing other products. With the advent of peace and the restoration of local production in the coun* tries devastated by the war, this temporary demand will cease and with it will cease the temporary income offered former coffee producers whose situation will then be Hrep tratfj Present Prosperity in Coffee Countries-an Illusion c) The apparent prosperity in the coffee producing countries, an appearance resulting from existing favorable international trade balances, is illusory and frankly misleading. Such I balances result solely from the impassibility of buying, in which these countries find them* selves, from the impossibility of obtaining the instruments of production necessary foe their activities and of obtaining many other essential articles of life. The restrictions imposed by the war have-not permitted them to import except in very limited quantities, \ agricultural and industrial machinery, railroad cars, mills, rails, trades, automobiles, electrical equipment, and often did not permit them to import even spare parts either new or used. Now, the very modest Industrial plants of these countries, their railroads, systems ol *'• urban transportation, highway rolling equipment, agricultural, industrial and transpor* tation equipment, water transport facilities, coastal or interior, already deficient before the war are today oo the verge of collapse, and the open process of disintegration through _ lack of replacements or even remotely adequate maintenance and repairs. * This U the sole reason for the existing IMloneesf which will evaporate on the day the wai> time restrictions which impede the purchases of material are removed. Such balances are actually not sufficient to renovate our agricultural and industrial equipment or to repair the depreciation caused by three years of excessive use, without even a minimum ©£ adequate maintenance, and repairs. Increase Needed—Only Va of a Cent a Cup d) An Increase In coffee prices fufficient to maintain economically In production the bll* lions of coffee trees in Latin-America, sufficient to prevent economic ruin in the various countries, sufficient to avoid the loss of valuable markets for industries of the United States, would not constitute a sacrifice for the public because it would represent, at the most, about % of a cent in the cost of a cup or coffee. This means that a consumer who drinks four regular cups a day would have his budget for coffee Increased by about Vz cent a dayx A Lowering Production May Affect U. S. Coffee Supply • ) If some readjustment is not made an unfortunate situation might arise, which would prevent or disturb the free flow of coffee to the American market, just at a rinw when the shipping situation is such as to permit an ample supply of the product for United States needs. Coffee producers cannot be forced to sell their coffee at a loss, Le^ below the cost of production when ^ the abandonment of plantations and the neglect of adequate cultiva* tion of those which are still in production has already reduced the yield of coffee in some countries, and will reduce it even more in the coming crops due to the fact that oeglect of the plantations for one year results in a reduced production which at least 3 years to retup to original yield. In the case of Brazil, unfavorable weather conditions ?nd Inadequate returns have re*duced by more than 50% the last two crops. -• Coffee Growers Unable to Take Further Losses f ) W iA reduced production, on one hand, and with the Impossibility of. continuing to pro* duce without suffering economic losses under present conditions, on the other hand, It is only logical that the producers, so badly squeezed for some tune past, will not able to sell in 1945 at 1941 prices. Would Rationing Be a Solution? It is oar considered opinion that rationing would not be a solution because it would notpermit the restoration of plantations already abandoned or being abandoned^ thus adverselyaffecting the producers, the trade and the consumer. * • • • . TM* is the present situation of coffee as viewed and Interpreted by the Pafl-Americao Coffei ' Bureau. The gravity of the menace which weighs over die Latin-American producers derive their livelihood from coffee, over the roasters, importers, brokers and distributors in d» United States who deal in coffee and over the public wnich made coffee its favorite beverage, can hardly be exaggerated. In conclusion, may I express to you personally and on behalf of die countries represented \ by the Bureau our great appreciation for the cooperation offered st all times to the Bureau fcfl J your Association.

Therefore, he be» lieves. farmers will convert part of these deposits into War Bonds. WASHINGTON, D. C.—A prediction that American farmers will invest more money in bonds daring the Sixth War Loan than in any previous drive was made today by the War Finance Division of the U. S. Treasury.Farmers bought SI.250.000,000 worth of War Bonds durmo 1943. according to die Bureau of Agricultural Economics. In 1944 it is believed tbejr can and should purchase a total of $2,000,009,090, Ted R. Gamble, national Director of the War Finance Division, said. Income at Peak The Sixth War Loan, starting November 20, comes at an ideal time for agriculture, he pointed oui.This is not only the time when farm income is at a seasonal peak, but 1944 marks three years of record breaking farm income, he said. Based on information obtained from the BEA, the Agricultural Section of the War Finance Division estimates the 1944 cash farm income at S20.600,- 000,000, compared with $20,000,000,000 in 1943.Although net farm income, due to higher operating costs, rnay not be greater than in 1943. most farmers now have reduced their debts and consequently will have more money to put into War Bonds, the division reports. In the twelve months ending Jan uary I, 1944, farmers reduced real estate mortgages alone by $659,000,- 000.Bank Deposits GainAfter paying all operating costs and necessary family expenses, farmers will have left this year for investment and debt reduction over $5,000,000,000. the Agricultural Section also estimates.Because of the fact that new machinery is not obtainable, farm de posits are piling up in rural banks.Demand deposits held by farmers in these banks are estimated at $4,500,000,000 and time deposits at $2,000,000,000. Siiice the new method of redeeming Series E Savings Bonds ' This Is Your Extra 6th War Loan Quota Ted R. Gamble War Bond purchasers will provide a farm financial reserve to protect against damage by drought, flood and livestock disease, will assure cash to replace and repair buildings and machinery as well as to buud back soil fertility depleted by wartime food production, and will provide funds for education, vacations and old age security.The high farm income this year is the result of the huge increase in farm production to meet wartime food needs rather than a rise in prices, which have been held down by the OPA it was explained.
