Some Things You Should Know A poor, sick, Mexican rode into New York City a few days ago on a crowded bus. He died a day or two later, then smallpox started and there ware iwo more deaths. Since then the New York Health Department and private phyicians have been rushed by people seek' ing smallpox vaccination. It was difficult to trace the path of the Mexican from the beginning of his illness, and no one knew just who, or how many people had been ex­ posed to smallpox. The U. S. Public Hesdth Service became un­ easy with die thoughts of a wide spread epidemic. Warnings were sent out over the country advising everyone who has not been sue* cessfully vaccinaten within the last three of four years to be vac- ciliated without delay. Smallpox is a rare disease in the United States these days, but but it may spread in virulent epi­ demic form among people who are not vaccinated. One sick per­ son can cause untold numbers of cases if the disease is not prompt' Iy recognized and every precaution taken at once. Rabies or hydrophobia among die dogs in Forsyth County and the city of Winston'Salem i s creating quite a stir. Commencing April 16, the polico were ordered to shoot all dogs that were seen running free. A number of mad dogs have been destroyed in the city this past winter and spring. Unfortunately a good many peo­ ple have been bitten or otherwise expoted. The Health Officer re­ ports that an unusually large num­ ber are taking the preventive treat' ment. The belief is rather pre­ valent that mad dogs only appear in summer. This is an error. The disease appears whenever a sus- eeptille animal is inoculed; with­ out regard to season. Dogs run a' bout more in warm weather which of course favors the spread. Dog owners should take parti' cul^r pains to keep their pets up for the next few weeks lest they should'come in contact with some rabid animal and be bitten. Dogs should also be vaccinated against the disease. North Carolina Law requires that all dogs six months old or older should be vaccinated each year prior to July I. All li> Sensed veterinaries are prepared to do this work. Typhus and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever may appear here and there after die onset of hot weather. The former is carried by rats and rat-fleas; the latter is carried by certain wood ticks. The common Housefly will soon be with us again. They spread intestinal diseases of many kinds and probably polumyelitis. We should commence now to repair screens and eliminated fly breed' ing places. Private physicians and especial' Iy your Health Department will gladly fumist you verbal of print­ ed information concerning any of the above subjects including up- to-date measures for your protec- don. Now is an excellent time to have a general clean-up. ALFRED MORDECAI, M. D. Health Officer. Back to Normal [Omega (Ga.)

She and 1 her father-in-law, John I. McFarlane, . have tried In vain to find some trace ol : Richard, either dead or alive. Twenty- five years later Ric Is 27 and serving In the army ot World War n while Jill, 26, professes an interest in Spanc Gordon, a young lieutenant. Julia still clings to the belief that Richard may yet be alive and refuses to have him declared legally dead. Her greatest worry Is that her daughter might marry Spang, thus becoming an army wife, subject to the same grief she has en­ dured for a quarter of a century with­ out word of Richard.

Uncle Sam Says Did Junior ever ask you whether you ever hit a home run? This is the time of the year when questions like that one will come poppin’ at pop. Well, daddy, you can look junior right in the eye and say truth­fully: “Yes, son, I did many times,” (that is if you are in v estin g in Sav­ings Bonds every payday.) Figure it out yourself. Every Savings Bond represents a four-base hit for jun­ior’s future. Even Babe Ruth couldn't hit one over the fence every time he came to bat. Step to theSlate, dad, and clout one more Sav- igs Bond into your strong box. Some day junior will stand up and cheer a real home run hitter.U, S, Treasury Department Uncle Sam Says This is getting-ready time for my farmer nieces and nephews. Today’s plowing and investment in money and labor may or may not pay off in rich crops. There’s a big IF in every farm family’s life. If the sun shines, if it doesn’t rain too much, if we have a drought—if, if. if. However, there’s one crop which has no “if” side. It’s a crop of Sav­ings Bonds, which grows steadily, rain or shine, iviv’d or calm, year after year until it produces $4 for every £3. My city nieces and neph ews can plant th is crop, too, by join­ing 2nd str.' inz on the payroll sav ings plan or by arrangement will their h an k . U. 5.

Wallace Laughs At Statemeot Henrv A. Wallace roared with laughter Monday at a suggestion that President Trnman anticipates bis support in 1948 and declared that "it’s too early to say about that.” Asked whether he plans to join with Senator Pepper (D Fla)1 to head a third party in the preslden tial election. He said that "we’ll make a rendezvous next March to see about that. I still hope the Democratic party will become the liberal party. It not, there will have to be some steps taken—no doubt about that.’’ And as to bis own political am. bitions, if any. he said that "the only question of my running for office would be benefit peace in the worid and if il would do that I would run a*'hard as I could.” ' Thus the former Vice President disposed of political questions at a huge new conference in Washing- which be complained of some mis. understending of the criticism he delivered abroad against the Ad ministration’s foreign policy and levelled some fresh indictments. READ THE AD$ A lo n g W i t h t h e N o w s I Winston Salem Journal. Decision of the Nisseu Wagon Company officials to sell the factory and land at 1539 Waughtown.street marks the end of the career of the oldest wagon plant in the United States. Bntthelegendarvnameof the Nissen wagon will remain long in the memory of the rural South The farm wagon still has a place in the rural economy of the South east, But technology has cut shar­ ply into the extent of its operation on many farms ot the area, Tbe car and tbe motor trnck have si most completely routed tbe wagon from the highways and to a IarKe extent have replaced it in the per formance of hauling jobs on the farm itseif. Despite this fa c t the Nissen com pany whose product has long been tamed in the South manufactured and sold 4,000 wagons last year And it expects to make and sell 1,000 more before the Waughtown plant passes into the bands of its new owners on or about August I, 1947 - The old Nissen wagon has play­ ed a vital role in the drama of Winston-Salem nnd Southern farm progress. For many years the NIs- se n “ c lu c k e d ” on e v e ry trading ro a d In North Caroliua and over the highways of other states, haul, ing supplies from Charleston and Fayetteville into the Piedmont and m o u n ta in sec tio n s. Long tra in s o f wagons re a c h e d into the Piedmont and hill country timberlands to transport millions of feet of Ium- her, cross ties, and pulp wood to the plening mills, the railroads and shipping stations Thev hauled millions of tons of sobacco to the markets in tbe various bright leaf belts and countless bales of cotton to the gins. Tbc first "freight train” in North Carolina was made up of Nissen wagons which made regular trips over tbe old plank road from Fayetteville ti Salem. It is a bit ironical that an instru­ mentality of great agricultural, in­ dustrial and commercial ptogress in a whole region should in tbe course of time be swallowed up, as it were, by the very progress it helped to bring about. But it is gratifying to know that tbe fame-of tbe old Nissen wagon, built upon the su­ perior workmanship of master craftsmen and the finest of metal and timbers, will live on through the vears and inextricably identify itself with the deathless saga of a vigorous and onward moving State. Acted Funny The recent legislature may have used good sense in some things but they certainly acted np funny in others. That Is they would be fun nv if they were not so serious. The new law authorizing County Com missioners to select jurors from telephone directories, or any such list of names strikes right at the foundation of our judicial system We hope tbe commissioners of Yad­ kin county will continue to pick the members of the jury from the people they know and are sure they will do the right thing. — Yadkin Ripple. Not Ripe "These eggs are very small;” complained the young housewife to her grocer t "Straight from the farm this morning, madam,” declared the groper, "That’s the trouble with these farmers,” she persisted. “They are so anxious to get their eggs sold they take them off the nest too soon ” W e d o n ’t l i k e t o m a k e X m a r k * a f t e r y o u r n a m e . There is much comment In the newspapers, especially arsons tbe le ft-w in g c o lu m n ist, as to tb e s p lit in the R e p u b lic a n r a n k s , esp ecially among the United States Senators Various reasons are given for this. Some politicians say much of the disagreement is because too tnanq Republican Senators are potentially candidates for their party's nomi. nation for the Presidency in 1948 Democratic Senators are under no such illusion since Chairman Han- negan’s announcement that Presi dent Truman would be selected as the candidate of his party to suc­ ceed himself next year Itisan undeniable fact that a tew G. O P. Senalors seem in dined to show their independence by disclosing that they are ‘ bigger than their party," even if this were to lay them open later to the nomi nation of "New Deal Fellow Trav. elers.” On the other hand, left-wing commentators hail the action of the "independent Republicans” and blame all the trouble onto "reac­ tionary leadership” in the Senate. What they seem to forget is that the people in November turned thumbs down on New Deal policies and asked for a return to normal Republican principles. But in the midst of all tbe dis cus-ion it might be well to point out that in the Senate the Demo cratic forces have nothing to crow about on the subject of party regu­ la rity . In d e e d , th e y a re not c ro w ­ ing. There are more Democrotic Senators who frequently desert the leadership of Senator Barkley than there are Republicans who abandon the leadership of the Republican chiefs. A classic case was the vote on whether the OPA was to be liqui dated on Jone 30. Here, if ever, was a partisan issue. The OPA was the darling of New Deal Demo­ cracy. Conjured np bv the late President Roosevelt, his successar, President Truman, woold not even loosen its control until the Demo, cratic donkey was going down for the third time. Let us see what happened the other day: When a test vote came up on chloforming the OPA Senator Tay- lar, Democrat, of Idaho, moved to strike out a "chloroforming” pro­ vision from tbe appropriation bill. It was the decisive vote on OPA. Senator Tailor’s effort to save OPA was voted down. * 56 to 28. But to analyze the vote: every Republican excepting Senators Aiken of Vermont, voted with the Repuhlicanleadership But 14 De- Inocratic Senators deserted Senator Barkley and voted with the Repub­ licans. Now just which party split, anyhow?—Union Republican. Resentment at Gag Rule Sweeps State The 1947 General Assembly of North Carolina has adjourned siue die amidst a rising tide ot resent ment throughout the Sfate against the infamous gag rule and type of irresponsible legislative procedure which il symbolizes. While the elimination of the gag rule is the focus ot popular demand, it is the responsible legislation that is really sought The Iiqtioi lobby will have some other method ready when the gag rule goes—so long as legisla­ tors are not answerable to those who elected them Too much leg­ islation is enacted without record­ ing the votes, It begins to look as if the only way of assuring a state wide referendum on the liquor question wiil be to make it a para mount issue in every election, and- to pledge candidates not only to support it tmt to demand a roll call] on every liquor vote in the Iegisla-] tme.—North Carolina Christian Advocate. General Marshall’s "mission to M oscow ” h a s b ee n d u b h e d a fail, ure in th e sen se th a t th e Big Four conferees failed to agree on any of the major issues which stand in bar of signed treaties bringing peace to Germany and Austria But in his report the American Seeretary of State offers a measure of'hope. The conference may not have been quite the failnre it has been advertised to have been. While agreements were hot re-ched the points of difference between this country and Russia were drawn oar into the fight and clearly defined for future discussion Tbe parties ree about. They know what each oth cr is seeking. They know bow far taey intend to go in connection w ith th e se issues. At the nexlFmeeting of the min­ isters it will not be necessary to wade through a hnge dntter of extraneous and irrelevant issues. The conferees can go right into the heart of those matters which are pertinent and vital. This will save much time It may lead to tbe a greemen's which are essential to the making of the peace. Secretary Marshall diselosed in his report that Stalin told him tbe co n fe re n c e in M oscow re p re s o n te d only thr first skirmishes and brush­ es of reconnaissance forces on the Enropean peace settlement, and that in time compromises would be re a c h e d . This m a y in d ic a te , as intimatep in the Marshall report, hat Russia eventually will make important concessions to tbe Wes­ tern powers. Ebe desperate con ditlon of Europe, however, may not favor too long a delay in tbe sign­ ing of the peace treaties. Secretary Marshall reported that the conference failed to ngree upon five critical and fundamental Ger­ man problems, including the qnes. tion as to the limits to tne powers of a ceutral government; the char­ acter of the economic fvsrem and its relation to all Europe; tbe char­ acter and extent of reparations; the boundaries tor the German state, and the manner in which all Allied states at war with Germany are to represented in the drafting aud con­ firmation of tbe treaty The repara ions issue has been one of the mott vexing, since the Russians have demanded billions in reparations in addition to exploiting ruthlessly the areas of Germany they occupy Moscow may soften its attitude on reparations, however, if Russia’s owu economy shows im­ provement during the next few months. That country was very hard hit by Hitler’s invasion, which created vast destruction over bund reds of thousands of square miles of Russian territory. An agreement on reparations might be tbe key to the solution of the whole problem. Choice of Job A farmer was trucking a load of livestock to the market and bad a blowout just as he was passing the asylum grounds. As he repaired the tire two Inmates watched him from the other side ot the road fence. "Are you a farmer?” one called to him. The farmer repled that he was without looking up from his work. "Have you ever bren crazr?' asked the second inmate. At that the farmer turned around 10 tace his questioner. "Not that I know of,” said he. ‘Well,” and the second inmate nudged the first, "you better try it, cause it’s a sight easier than farm- iDgV N o w is t h e t i m e t o s u b * s c r i b e f o r T h e R e c o r d , By The Street Rambler. ’ OOOOOO Mrs. Leslie Daniel buying cher­ ry pie—George Rowland washing display windows—Mrs. Tommie Shore doing early morning shop­ ping—Mrs. Knox Johnstone car­ rying groceries through the rain— Young lady looking fof $20 bill— Miss MOdred Dull enjoying re­ freshments with friends—Smith sisters from Redland shopping in meat shop—Frank Fowler sitting on stool drinking cup of coffee— Man looking for officer to stop hugging match in progress in par* ked car on the square—Miss Flos­ sie Martin talking with friends on Main street—-Miss Coaleen Smitli looking over mail in postoffice lobby—Miss Opa Lashmit trying to get to school on time—Young school marm counting the hours until June 4th. Half the Prescription Filled (G a s to n ia G a z e tte ) Senator Vandenberg ,1 in h is speech which opened tbe Senate de­ bate on the "Truman Doctrine,” made a concise and eommendable statement of American policy. "We plot no offense against the the So viet Union. We are not bunting domination. We are not seeking dictation anywhere But what we deny to ourselves as a matter of morality we also must deny to others as a matter of conquest," he said. If only a similar honest and forth right statement of Soviet pollry were at band. Mr Marshall and Mr. Molotoy, or perhaps even Mr. Truman and Mr, Stalin, could then sit dowu and conduct tfaeir nego­ tiations on the basis of those two declarations And the world, we think, would have small need to fear another war. A New Party Is Born (Greensboro Record) There is something new, or ap parentlv new under tbe political sun—a partv which bolds that free enterprise is dead and that “econo­ mic co-operation” must replace cap itaiism in the United States. Brig Gen. H, C, Holdridge (re tired) of Washington has made tbe anneuncemcnt as temporary chair­ man of the "People’s Party of the United States ” He says the or­ ganization will strive to create a forth branch of government, bv constitutional amendment and by legislation, to "organize and direct the machinery of production and distrihu in such a manner to pro­ vide everyone who does his share of work with a maximum of goods and services and leisure to enjoy them.” It can hardly be claimed for the partv that its objects are new or original Its formation may be in­ terpreted as still another indication of political turmoil In this country W a l k e r F u n e r a l H o m e ' AMBULANCE SERVICE DAY OR NIGHT P h o n e 4 8 M o c k s v i l l e , N .

Wednesday night, May 15th, af­ ter'months of suffering, W. F» Williams, 62, passed away at his home at Smith Grove. About 28 vears ago Mr. Williams was badly hurt in a runaway at Salisbury, when he was thrown from his buggy and received injuries which the doctors thoughs brought a- bout the chmplications which re­ sulted in his death. He was sher­ iff of Davie county for four years. Funeral and burial services took place at Smidi Grove. Dr. A. W. Wiseman died Mon­ day evening, May 13th, at his home in Jerusalem, at the advan­ ced age of 73 years. The doctor was bom in Davidson county but had lived the mosi of his life at Jerusalem. He was a remarkable man, with a fine memory, a safe and painstaking physician and en­ joyed the confidence of the entire community. His remains were laid to rest at Jerusalem. To the widow and daughter we extend our deepest sympathy in this sad hour. A good man, a useful citi­ zen, a faithful husband andjfather has gone to his reward. Peace to his ashes.

Acttonof the Pennsylvania In­ dustrial Union Council, C I. O., in barring Communists and mem­ bers of other un-American groups from holding office in the Council will help to raise member labor or- ga izations in public esteem. There is no do’ubt that union members are of the same opinion as other patri otic Americans in recognizing the disruptive aims of the American Communists. Trade unions are an accepted part of American life. Labor un ions are intended to work within the framework of onr system of free enterprise. The great major ity of them have done so, and have secured improvement of wages and working conditions for millions of Americans, whether members of unions or not. Communists are revolutionaries who do not accent the basic princi­ ples of our economic and political systems. Whatever tactical moves are made by the Communist partv, its constant aim is to disrupt order Iv processes of reform, with the ul­ timate object of destroying our competitive system. It seems obvious that no mem her of such a group is entitled to be a leader in labor organizations aiming to promote the well being of workers n a f;eo society.

READ THE AD$ Along With Um Nmvo Despite the bear stories on the status of the Federal budget for the present fiscal year, which stories have been coming out of Washing­ ton, D. C., since January i, John W. Hanes, native of Winston Sa lem, who was under secretary of the treasury for a time in Frank­ lin D. Roosevelt's administration, testified to a committee in Con gress that we will win np the pre­ sent fiscal year on June 30 with a surplus of three or four billions Now they privately admit there will be a surplus and it is satd that a forthcoming statement will pre­ dict a balance of a billion and a half at the end of June. Even this figure is two billion less than what Mr, Hanes said that by the end ot the next fiscal year June 30 . 1948, the government will have a surplus of from 9 to 11 billion dollars, spending on whether the Republi cans In Congress cut the budget 4 J4 or 6 billion dollars. If Mr. Hanes’ figures are rea­ sonably enough money on hand for both the contemplated tax reduc tion, now planned by the Republi­ cans, and for a nice payment on the national debt If the late figures unexpectedly show a balanee instead of a deficit, it is not believed, however, that Presideat Trumun will consent to a law to rednce taxes at this time. The Democratic Ieadeis say that all money saved now should be used to cut thenaiional debt, us it should be cut as much as possible in time of business prosperity. Republi­ cans estimate that th eir t x !educ­ tion plan will help business and the government income under lower, rates may be as large as the income under the present rates. Of course, the Democratic lead­ ers, especially the New Deaiers, are not worried about the national debt. They have told us time and time again not to bother with it, after all, we owe it to ourselves Some of them actually seem to believe a big national debt is a good thing. Wbat really concerns them is that tax reduction and lessened government spending will mean cutting toe bureacratic payroll. That is why they don’t want it. Neither do the faithful on the pub­ lic payroll, even if in thousands of cases there is no work for them to do.—Union Republican. Hoover Dam Columbia State. A Democratic President on Wed­ nesday signed the bill giving or re­ storing the name of a former Re­ publican President to what has been called, since 1933, Boulder Dam. Between 1930 and 1933. the name was what It will now, pre­ sumably remain Hoover Dam. In 1933 former Secretary of the Inter­ ior Ickes rechristened it. The re­ christening was unfortunate in two ways. First, the structnre is not located in Boulder Canyon but in Black Canyon, 20 miles away. Se cond, former President Hoover had earned the honor, not by being President but by giving his time and energy to the Colorado River Compact, •* without which there could have been no division ot the waters between the upper and low­ er basins and hence no dam. Mr. Hoover did not build the dam. But he did work manfully and unselfishly tor the welfare of the people of the people of the Co Iorado River Valley, and fair-mind­ ed persons of both major parties wilt applaud the belated justice that is now done him.

Land posters at this office. tide dealing with liquor, and am passing along a little experience of mine, I have been too busy with the college here to deal much in poli­ tics, but some years ago, I was preaching for a few Sundays at Bishopville, S. C. One day, a group of men told me thev were afraid their county was going to vote for liquor, and asked me to say something on the subject Sun dav. I told them I had never spo­ ken on this subject, but if they wanted me to sav something, I would do my best. This is a short statement of what I said: “ This Is the Erst time have ever been called upon to make a political speech, especiuily about liqnor. However, I am a South Carolinian—born and raised in Charleston, and an ontstanding characteristic of a South Carolin tan is said to be that he is a good citizen. I am prood to believe this is true. Now if anv of vod fellows vote for liquor, you don't expect vour wife or children, or niggers, to buv it. If you did. you would never have tt in your county. Therefore, you are hoping that your neighbor’s wife or children or niggeis. will buy the stuff, and vou will profit thereby. If you call that being a good neighbor, well I am sorry for you.” The liquor folks lost their rlection, and they told me that my few observations bad carried the vote. Now JTr. Goerch1 I believe this to he everlastingly true; and no man would cast a vote for it if he thought his immediate familv would, develop into drunkaids I believe the people of North Carolina, like those of South Carolina, want to be good neighbors, and any fellow who votes to put the temptation of Itquor before the people of this state isn’t being a good neighbor.

They are persons driveo from their homes following boundarv changes Ac- cording to Rev. Henry Ruark of Chapel Hill, state charman for the church appeal for clothing, most of these people have been driven out with only as much of their belongings as could he carried on their backs, bnt private advices in­ dicate that some were only per­ mitted to take the clothing they happened to be wearing at the time of expuision. An eyewitness description writ, ten by a polish doctor gives the general idea: ‘‘Homeless, uproot­ ed from their native soii, the peo­ ple wandered along the highways. Sick, exhausted, covered with ver­ min, they somehow press forward toward one goal—a new home But wherever they go thev are turned away, ordered 0 n, misdirected, brought back for new instructions, and then ordered on again.” They are people of all faiths and nationalities, and because there are so many of them, their ca e seems hopeless. Most of them are doom ed to die as wanderers, the unhap­ py backwash of the greatest hu man upheaval ot all times,—States­ ville Daily. Facts About Smallpox While no great danger of a wide apread epidemic exists at this mo* ment every community in North Carolina should be on guard a- gainst smallpox. As usual a few cases of this disease have broken out here and there in the United States this spring. The disease has been reported recently in both North and South Carolina. Smallpox epidemics were serious in this State up to 50 years ago. Compulsory vaccination in our public schools and the great efforts of the Public HeaTth Service have tended to wipe this disease out, but if we grow careless and relax our efforts, epidemics will recur beyond any shadow of doubt. Statistics show that more than 100,000 cases of smallpox were re­ ported in the United States in 1921, ebout 50,000 cases in 1931, 346 cases in 1945 and 356 cases in 1946. So far this year there have been 97 cases in the United States. Between March I arid April 22, there wers 12 cases in New York Citywith 2 deaths. One death from the disease was reported in New Jersey, April 17. Duringthe past week new cases of die dis­ ease have been reported as follows: Indiana 6, Texas 4, Oklahoma 2, Mississippi I, Nebraska I. The disease incidence has always been highest in those states and locali­ ties which do not compel vacci­ nation. Anyone and everyone can be completely protected against this disease by vaccination every three or four years. It is extremely sel­ dom that anyone is made serious­ ly sick by vaccination, even the smallest babies, therefore it is un­ wise to neglect this attention. In this day and time when no community in North Carolina lies more than a few hours by plane ot bus from any other section of the continent we must take pains to prevent any large number of people in the community, from growing up unvaccinated, To do so is merely fiirting with danger. We are all familiar with what happened in New York City two or three weeks ago when a Mexi­ can with confluent smallpox ar­ rived in that city by bus. He was admitted to a hospital where he died in the course of a few hours. It was not until his death that the disease was properly recognized. This was after he had been trav­ eling about sick for several days. There was no tilling how manv persons had been exposed or where they were. Let this happen in any community where the majority of people are unvaccinated and then see what happens. ALFRED MORDECAI, M. D. Health Officer. Costly Service .

W., Washington, D. C. (This is the fourth of a series de- cribing how American ingenuity is helping to solve one of Americas biggest problems—the Gd. housing shortage.) WASHINGTON. — Thirty-five hun­ dred new homes started in one year is a pretty good record for any fair­ sized community—especially when the year is 1946, and the city, Memphis, Tenn., had never started more than 2,400 units a year before. Some two thousand of last year’s “starts” were completed in 1946. Now in the spring of 1947 while some communities still talk about and wish for housing, Memphis is going right ahead finishing up the rest of the 1946 starts and under­ taking more. The answer to this old southern city’s success in housing lies partly f - — —jgpnj; -si in the coopera-t ■ I tive attitude of * I ' l , j city officials who* t — JBJt* I are very con­ scious of the vet- e r a n s housing p ro b le m , and partly to individ­ ual builders who have been will­ ing to m a k e price sacrifices, work long hours and do whatever was necessary to overcome short­ ages of mate­ rials. Take Wallace E. Johnson for ex­ample—a builder who started in December, 1939, to construct one house and who now has to his credit several thousand. He is devoting all his energy and ingenuity to housing veterans these days. It takes energy and ingenuity too, but this man who, during the war, was completing a house for a war worker every two and a half hours has what it takes. For example, last September when lumber couldn’t be bought for love or money, Johnson bought land with standing merchantable timber and a sawmill camp near Potts Camp, Miss., close to Memphis. This purchase made possible a triple play which has paid off in savings of time and money. Johnson Baukhage cuts his own timber, hauls it to his own sawmill for sawing, drying and cutting, then hauls it direct to his own building sites in size and amount wanted. So much waste is eliminated that the leftover lumber from a whole house can be hauled away in one wheelbarrow. When brick couldn’t be had in the Memphis area, Johnson still man­ aged. He got brick on a swap basis —obtaining critical materials and labor for a brick-making concern which used the items thus supplied to make brick for Johnson projects. If he couldn’t find the mate­ rials he needed around Mem­ phis, he went where he could buy them. He has sent em­ ployees by air all the way to the west coast to pick'up windows and doors, even paying retail prices for them when he bad to. But Johnson couldn’t do as well as he does nor keep his costs to vet­ erans so low without cooperation of the community. In Memphis the city repays builders of' approved subdivisions for their expense in in­ stalling utilities. The Memphis light, gas and water division, which is publicly owned, has gone so far as to permit utility connections even when no meters were available. Thus, quite a number of houses were finished and families were housed, without having to wait for the hard-to-get meters. As a result of this cooperation Johnson last fall had completed 55 two-bedroom houses which went to Memphis vets for $5,250. Offier prices are comparably low, $6,000 to $7,000, and even in the lowest brackets Johnson tries for good de­ sign. He switches roof lines or the set of a house on a lot, and utilizes other means to avoid the sameness generally characteristic of rows of houses in developments. Inciden­ tally he recently was awarded a prize by National Home Builders association for “Meritorious House Design in 1947." The tenants appreciate this. Not long ago one couple, the first ten­ ants in a new subdivision, gave a Sunday night supper for all of John­ son’s workers—the shipping clerks, timekeepers, the general manager, the truck drivers and all the people who helped build the house.

Confronted with a housing problem, Dee Ainsworth and Mrs. Marion MacConnelI of Los Angeles purchased a wartime LCVP (landing craft, personnel) for $700 and con­ verted it into this trim boat with living accommodations. They will sail to Central America ports aboard their floating home. IVElES R E V I E W T o r n a d o e s W r e a k H a v o c B la s t K ills E ig h t M in e r s f Community cooperation aids home builders of Memphis, Tenn., in completing badly needed housing projects. These houses are typi­ cal of the low-cost projects completed by Wallace E. Johnson. U n d e r p a s s D o b m s O l d T r e e s With some friends I sat looking through a window on Lafayette Square just as the leaves reached the point where they screened An­ drew Jackson, sitting on a horse which somebody described as hav­ ing two feet firmly planted (like a radical) in the air. Soon the foliage will come down like a hood, cover­ ing the skeleton branches which now are still showing through the green. Trees were on our minds for we had just walked down Connecticut avenue, which for several blocks is being deforested so that a tunnel can be drilled underneath Dupont Circle. Washington is famous for its trees but of late years the automo­ bile has caused the destruction of many of the finest. Widening of streets sometimes necessitates re­ moval of trees. Frequently ancient oaks, elms or ginkgos are cut down and replaced with saplings. Underpasses to take care of the traffic have burrowed under two of our circles already and now “my” circle, Dupont (I live only three blocks from it), is to experience a similar operation. It will never be the same. Qf course, Dupont Circle is not quite the same as it was when I first saw it three decades ago when it was the center of the social and diplomatic section. I was bemoaning this “official vandalism” which robs these spots of their charm, as we looked out over the five varieties of elms in the park before us. One of our group, a naturalist, identified the elms as American, English, Scotch, Dutch and Smoothleaf, not to men­ tion the horsechestnpts, maples, beech, dogwood, a beautiful deodar, an ash, which he reminded us was the mystic tree of Yggdrasil, its crown in the heavens and its roofs in the nether world. How much better would we be, I insisted, with our surreys with the fringe on top instead of our automobiles and our trees instead of parking space? A survey made by the highway director of the District of Colum­ bia, H. C. Whitehurst, shows that 52,000 vehicles skirt the circle every day, not counting buses and trolley cars. It is estimated that in less than 10 years 68,000 cars a day will be nosing by. That is the reason for the underpass. The two circles already operated upon were Thomas Circle, an eight- point intersection, and Scot Circle, six-points. Since then the accident rate has dropped 75 per cent, the commission reports. It is going to cost $3,800,000 to operate on Dupont Circle—and the trees. TO R N A D O E S: P ath o f D estruction Devastating tornadoes cut a wide swath through midwestern and east­ ern states, leaving a wide path of destruction in their wake. Striking in a thickly populated rural area south of Fairmont, N. C., a high-riding twister killed at least one person, left 'an estimated 300 homeless and caused severe dam­ age to tobacco crops. The death toll from a tornado which leveled the communities of Bright Water and Garfield in north­ west Arkansas was placed at .nine. The business section of Bright Wa­ter, population 100, was virtually destroyed. Most destructive of the twisters was one which tore through small towns in Missouri and Iowa, causing 13 casualties in the small town of Worth, Mo. More than 50 others were injured and property damage was estimated in the thousands of dollars. The same tornado lashed on across into Iowa, striking at Clio, where extensive property damage resulted but no loss of life was re­ported. Narrowly averting the heavily populated city of Dallas, Tex., a tornado smashed briefly to earth on the city’s eastern outskirts, then bounced skyward and disappeared. In its wake, two persons were dead and four were injured. Two other Texas twisters caused less damage. M IN E S: A n o th er Tragedy Disaster struck again in the ever- dangerous coal mines, an under­ ground explosion in the Small Spring Hill mine near Terre Haute, Ind., snuffing out the lives of eight miners. Three others survived the blast. The 11 miners were repairing and improving the ventilating system of the mine to prepare it for federal inspection. Closed since the general safety shutdown of April I, the mine had failed to pass the first federal inspection. The disaster was the fourth seri­ ous mine accident of the year. Ma­ jor catastrophe was the Centralia, 111., explosion of March 25, which took a toll of 111 lives. Ten miners were killed April 10 in a gas explo­ sion at Exeter, Pa., and 15 lost their lives Jaruary 15 at Plymouth, Pa. W R EC K S: T h ird fo r P ennsy In the eerie pre-dawn hours, the third wreck on the Pennsylvania railroad’s middle Pennsylvania di­ vision in three months killed four persons and injured 34, eight seri­ ously. The American, New York to St. Louis flyer, jolted into rods of sheet steel protruding from the sides of two gondola cars of a moving freight train, the impact ripping a tremendous hole in the side of the fourth car of the American and damaging the engine, mail car and another coach. No cars were de­ railed.

P A L E ST IN E : E xplosive Issue The explosive Palestine questior was marked by the usual wranglinf and confusion in action before the steering committee of the United Nations general assembly. The 14-nation steering committee rejected requests from the Aral countries for the assembly to debate at this session the question of can celing the British mandate ovet Palestine and freedom for the Holy Land. Dr. Oswaldo Aranha of Brazil, assembly president, failed to effecl a compromise be­ fore the c r u c ia l committee m e e t­ ing. The Arabs denied that their proposal called for immedi- a te independence for Palestine. They insisted they mere­ ly wanted a full discussion of the problem and recog­ nition by the assembly of the prin­ ciple of ultimate independence. A LE M A N : C ordial W elcom e First Mexican chief executive ever to make a state visit to Wash­ ington, Pres. Miguel Aleman was given a cordial reception on his trip to the nation’s capital. As the personal guest of President Truman, the visiting dignitary par­ ticipated in a full schedule of events arranged in his honor by the state, war and navy departments and Mexican embassy officials. In speeches before the Pan-Amer­ican union and congress, President Aleman urged Western Hemisphere republics to assure “the independ­ ence of each nation through the soli­ darity of all.” The Mexican chief executive uti­ lized the visit to begin preliminary discussions on an American loan.

The index of prices received by farmers in mid-April was 276 per cent of the 1909-14 average com­ pared with a mid-March index of 280 and with 107 for the 1935-39 average. Prices paid by farmers for pro­ duction materials and cost of living items, including interest and taxes, continued an upward trend which has been under way for many months. The index for these prices in mid- April was 230 per cent of the 1909-14 average compared with 227 in mid- March and 128 for the 1935-39 aver­age. Thig advance in the index for prices paid pushed farm parity prices slightly higher. Parity prices are theoretical standards used by the government in determining levels at which it will support prices of farm products. Increased prices paid by farmers occurred primarily in feed, clothing and building materials, although the bureau reported that “prices or nearly every group of products bought averaged somewhat higher than the final figures for March 15, based on quarterly reports from more than 16,000 merchants.” Leading the general decline in meat animal prices, hog prices re­ ceived by farmers fell $2.10 a hun­ dredweight in the month to an aver­ age of $24.30. Butterfat prices fell 5 cents to 69.5 cents a pound and milk prices were lower because of seasonal production increases. Wheat prices averaged 4 cents lower and rye was off 34 cents a bushel. Hydro-Electric on Farms Fills Needs Serves as Substitute Central Power Service Despite the progress made by power suppliers in "electrifying ru­ ral-America,” the task is so vast that thousands of farms will not be reached by electric lines for several years. A number of these farms are located far from existing or contemplated distribution lines. Farmers need not have to delay or do without electricity and the con­ venience, time and labor-saving ap­ pliances and production equipment it operates—if they have available a stream which will provide a head of water in sufficient volume to operate a hydro-electric unit. In most cases, a small dam is required and a pond, thus formed for power purposes, also may be used for watering stock, fire protection or recreation. Such units are capable of producing di­rect or alternating electric current at low cost and make use of wa­ ter which might otherwise be wast­ ed. I K.W. unit on a ranch in Montana. The electrical capacity of units, .uch as that illustrated, varies from k to 10 kilowatts. For example: \ typical unit will generate one kilo- vatt, with an eight-foot head of wa- er, having a flow of 190 cubic feet >f water per minute. As the head sf water increases, the volume re- iuired decreases for the operation >f a generator of given capacity. Thus, with a head of 25 feet, a hydro- dectric unit will generate one kilo-' vatt with a volume flow of only 68 :ubic feet of water per minute. An ught-foot head is all that is needed 'or those generating from one-half o five kilowatts. 'ungicides Tested 3y Vegetable Mice Scales of Easter lily bulbs are very subject to attack by a fungus causing scale rot, which accounts for their adoption by Drs. W. D. Mc­ Clellan and N. W. Stuart, U.S.D.A. agricultural research division, in de­ termining the effectiveness of vari- aus fungicides at the Beltsville sta­tion. One fact that makes these “vege­ table mice” particularly useful in testing work is that all the scales from one bulb are genetically the The Easter lily with from 40 to 60 scales of almost china-like smooth­ ness is well adapted to its “monse" role in testing of fungicides. same, and for that reason the vul­ nerability to attack of the rot is uni­form. Some other advantages of this new method are that the scales can be used at any time of the year if prop­ erly handled, the effect of the dis­ ease attack on the scales can be read with ease because they are smooth and almost white, the chem­ ical to be tested can be applied as dust and in a suspension or solution, the equipment is simple and takes little space.

Like every American girl and boy, the children of our coun­ try’s soldier dead are entitled to a normal home atmosphere and a happy childhood. To assure them of that American birthright, Veterans of Foreign Wars maintain the V. F. W. National home in Eaton Rapids, Mich., for widows and orphans of ex-service­ men. From this home every spring a little girl, daughter of a de­ ceased ex-serviceman, goes to^ Washington to present to the President the first Buddy Poppy. This presentation is preliminary to opening of the general sale of Buddy Poppies, which is conducted annu­ ally by the V.F.W. throughout the nation during the week preceding Memorial Day. A national goal of 21 million poppies has been set for the 1947 sale. Made by Veterans. Buddy Poppies, made by dis­ abled ex - servicemen patients in government hospitals as a phase of their occupational therapy work, are distinguished by a green label copyrighted by V.F.W. French poppies, made - by women and children of areas devastated in World War I, were used by the V.F.W. when it inaugurated the Buddy Poppy sale in 1922.' The present plan was developed in 1924 to extend the relief afforded by the pop­ pies to men disabled and needy but still capable of making the flowers. V.F.W. was the first veterans’ or­ ganization to undertake the poppy sale on a nationwide scale. Entire proceeds of the sale are used for welfare and relief activi­ ties among veterans and their de­ pendents, including an allotment to the V.F.W. National home. Houses 250 Children. The site of the home, now cover­ ing 640 acres, was the gift of Corey J. Spencer and his wife, Mattie Ebb Spencer, in 1925. The home ■ . I ? BUDDIES AID THEM . . . Funds derived from the annual Buddy Poppy sale will aid children and widows of ex-servicemen at the V.F.W. National home in Eaton Rapids, Mich. Two of the children are shown here enjoying life in the nursery. consists of about 22 family-size cot­ tages, no two exactly alike in archi­tecture and furnishings. There, also is a 835,000 hospital constructed by the V.F.W. auxiliary in 1931. Approximately 250 children, sons and daughters of deceased or total­ ly disabled war veterans, are living at the home. They receive the bene­ fits of an ideal home environment, food, clothing and education. In re­ turn, the V.F.W. hopes only that these children will grow up to be­ come useful and patriotic citizens. Children are divided into family groups, each group occupying a cot­ tage supervised by a “house moth­ er” who keeps strict watch over their welfare.. Wlierever possible, the “house mother” is actually the mother of one or more of the chil­ dren. Honor Navy Dead Each year, as part of its poppy j program and the Memorial Day ob­ servance, the V.F.W. places a giant wreath fashioned entirely of pop- j pies at the Tomb of the Unknown I Soldier in Washington and at the , crypt of Woodrow Wilson, World War I president, in the National , cathedral. Thousands of similai I smaller poppy wreaths are placed at the graves of our hero dead throughout the country by V.F.W posts. Another highlight of the organiza­ tion’s program is the presentation | of a huge anchor of poppies to the secretary of the navy. He, in turn, presents the wreath to the Peary Ship post of the V.F.W., an all-navy unit, for appropriate services on Memorial Day. At that time the anchor is cast into the ocean as a tribute to the men of the navy and marine corps who have lost their lives at sea. "AVIATION NCfIBS AIRPORT CHATTER Frank Hartman, Denver real es­ tate agent and a commercial pilot with 15 years of flying experience, combines his flying and selling skills to advantage. He recently closed a large ranch sale in a single day after showing the prop­ erty to a customer from the air. The ranch buyers said they learned more about the property from the air in a half hour than they could have learned during a week riding horseback. . . . After criss-crossing the Pacific ocean for 26,074 miles on a survey flight to Singapore and the Royal Netherlands East Indies in a big DC-4 Skymaster plane, Mrs. Mamie B. Nelson, 67, is convinced she is “just as batty about air travel as my son.” Her son, with whom she made the flight, is Orvis Nelson, president of Transocean Air Lines and vice president in charge of international operations for Phil­ ippine Air Lines. . . . Fred Richol- son, farmer near Davis Junction, 111., finds it convenient to allow Roger Lace, local air enthusiast, to use part of his pasture for a landing field. The arrangement works out to their mutual advantage, Richolson finds, since Lace frequently makes trips to nearby cities for badly- needed farm equipment. . . . Cran­ berry bogs in Massachusetts are being dusted and sprayed with a helicopter, purchased by National Cranberry association for use of its members. Airplane dusting, used for the first time last year, is being continued on larger bogs but the helicopter supplements its work on small and inaccessible bogs. * • • “There were no complaints received or arrests made for in­ toxicated flying in Pennsylvania during 1946.” That evidence of the lack of tipsy fliers is taken from the Pennsylvania Aero­ nautics commission’s annual re­ port on aeronautical violations. * * * AVERAGE PILOT The average airline pilot and co­ pilot in the United States is 32 years old and has been piloting planes 4.859 hours. This is a part of the picture of the average airline pilot as produced by a Civil Aeronautics administration study looking to­ ward possible reduction of the hu­ man element in air accidents. The program for redetermination of physical standards for airmen will take into consideration the physiological effects of extended oc­ cupation as an airline pilot and the possibilities of increasing air safety through use of pilot selection meth­ ods other than those of proficiency determination. The average pilot and co-pilot weighs 165 pounds and is 5 feet, 10 inches tall. There were fewer than three chances in 100 that he wore glasses, only 2.7 per cent requiring a lens correction. , The group average for solo flying, 4.859 hours, included flying of all kinds and in aircraft of any descrip­ tion. During 1946 this group aver­ aged 63 hours a month, 37 during daylight hours and 26 at night. CAA allows an airline pilot to fly 1,000 hours a year, an average of about 83 hours a month. Cat Disgraces Himself And Police Chief Owner BEAUMONT, T E X --O f all the cats in town, the one belonging to Police Chief Artie Pollock had to disgrace himself (and the chief) by going to a local hotel and getting drunk. Aiearning that scraps of food from the hotel provided his three square meals a day, the cat decided to inspect the place. His trip, how­ ever, was interrupted when some rascal gave him a bottle of beer. ‘AIRMAILER’ . . .

B o I Keep in Season By Adapting Menus To Cool Foods Eggs and tomatoes make a pretty salad platter for evening suppers that must meet the hot weather problem. Both may be prepared in the cool hours of the morning. No homemaker has to wait for the family’s appetite to lag before she starts changing the menus to suit their needs. In fact, the process is less painful if she realizes that with the first of the warm weath­ er, the family is apt to feel lan­ guid and lazy, and not much inclined to eat. Change immediately and you won’t have a lot of leftovers. One of the smartest things any woman can do is to be generous with salads in the menu. No, I don’t mean the usual variety, but some­ thing entirely different from what you’ve been having the past few months. Use new, fresh greens, try exciting and refreshing fruit and vegetables combinations and see how quickly the family takes to them. If necessary, make salads the main dish of the meals whenever possible, but when doing so, have them hearty enough to furnish the required number of calories to car­ ry on daily activities. This is easy to do with cold meats, cheese and eggs. A nice salad to serve because it’s so refreshing is this one which has a generous amount of cottage cheese to furnish valuable proteins for tis­ sue and body building. The citrus fruit makes it doubly refreshing on sweltering days: Fruit Salad Bowl. (Serves 6) Yt can cranberry sauce, jellied I pint cottage cheese I small green pepper I grated carrot 1 teaspoon salt Yt teaspoon celery seed 2 grapefruit, sectioned 3 oranges, sectioned I head of lettuce Mayonnaise Cut slices of cranberry sauces into cubes. Combine cottage cheese, green pepper slices, grated carrot, salt and celery seed. Fold in cubes of jellied cranberry sauce, saving a few cubes for garnish. Arrange lettuce leaves in salad bowl. Pile cottage cheese mixture into center of bowl and surround with alternate pieces of grapefruit and orange. Serve with mayonnaise. A salad that is a riot of red, white and yellow colors nestling in the green of lettuce leaves combines to­ matoes with eggs. It can be served as the main dish at limcheon or Sun­ day night supper. Stuffed Tomato-Egg Salad. (Serves 4) 4 firm, well-shaped tomatoes Salad greens 4 hard-cooked eggs Yt cup diced celery 2 tablespoons salad dressing Yt teaspoon Worcestershire sauce I tablespoon or more lemon juice Salt and pepper Frizzled Dried beef or crisp, diced bacon Remove skins and core from well- chilled tomatoes. Cut in 5 or six sections and press open gently to make a flower. Sprinkle inside with salt and pepper. Place on sal­ ad greens. Meanwhile chop eggs, not too fine. Add celery, salad dressing, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. Season well to taste. Spoon into center of tomato. Top with additional dressing, then with dried beef. Variation: Instead of egg filling, stuff egg, cut in half crosswise and place in tomato flower. Garnish with dried beef and ,salad dressing. LYNN SAYS: Vary Your Salads With Dressings Either fruit or vegetable salad tastes better if cottage cheese is beaten until light and fluffy and then folded . into mayonnaise or French dressing. Sour cream makes mayonnaise and cooked dressing fluffy as well as giving it pep. Add lemon juice or vinegar if more spiciness is de­ sired. Cooked salad dressings which LYNN CHAMBERS’ MENU Salami Cornucopias Swiss Cheese •Tomato-Egg Salad Potato Chips Assorted Pickle Bread and Butter Sandwiches Beverage Carmel Layer Cake ’Recipe Given If you are short of refrigerator space and still like molded salads, use a cornstarch for thickening, and you will have just exactly the sal­ ad you want.

There’s nothing fancy about this next salad recipe, as the name im­ plies, but it’s truly delicious.

Pour over greens and vegetables and stir or toss with fork. Sprinkle with pap­ rika. Variation: If you want to serve a dairy supper, use the Farmer’s Chop Suey as the main dish and serve with deviled eggs. The eggs may be prepared with deviled ham, if desired. A tomato salad that will hold its shape even if not refrigerated at the last minute is this one made with cream corn starch. Tomato or cocktail juice may be used in the base. Calavo-Grapefruit Salad. (Sqrves 4) 2 large calavos I grapefruit Small head lettuce A favorite springtime salad for any occasion is a calavo half shell filled with tart citrus fruit. Cut the calavo into halves lengthwise and remove seed. Scoop out some of the flesh but leave enough to hold the shell intact. Cut the portion removed into dice and combine with diced grape­ fruit. Arrange the calavo shells on crisp lettuce and fill with the calavo- grapefruit mixture. Sprinkle with finely chopped fresh mint. Serve with a lemon-honey dressing.Released by Western Newspaper Union. For a different type of dressing that is crisp as well as delicious, mix % cup of finely diced cucumber, I tablespoon chopped green pepper, I teaspoon vinegar and Vi teaspoon salt with Vt cup mayonnaise. Crisp pieces of bacon added to French or oil dressings add appetite appeal to simple potato or vegetable salads. Mayonnaise may be blended with sour cream or cream cheese and flavored with fruit juice for fruits and berries. For light vegetable or green salad.

He was granted a patent on Decem­ ber 29, 1871, on a “means for transmitting signals electrically between distant points by induc­ tion without the use of wires.” Edison also invented the carbon microphone and the aerial. More­ over, Edison discovered the radio detector tube—though when he found it, he didn’t know what to do with it. For years it was called; the “Edison Effect Tube” and was' exhibited as a sort of electrical novelty.

OUTSIDE STATE - $1.00 Date Extended iSmall Grain Field Day No, fellow citizens, its not poi­ son in our water—just chrorine. From reports appearing in the daily press Governor Cherry is still paroling long-term prisoners. Up to this good hour no elec­ tion has been called in Davie County to vote for or against li­ quor stores. Folks cussed a short while ago because they couldn’t get a drink of water and now they are cussing because they say they can’t drink the water. Cheer up folks, in a few weeks you will forget about the flavor. Cheer up, folks, it’s only a lit­ tle over a month until blackberry pie time will be here. W ith an ex* tra allotment of sugar we are hop­ ing to enjoy a few pies if our life is spared and the price of berries is within reach of the working man. There are a few business houses that will not advertise in a Repub­ lican newspaper. We wonder if these houses would want Repub­ licans to trade with them. If we can find out we will advise our readers so they will know where to purchase their supplies. Here’s hoping the good people of Rowan County will go to the polls on Mav 31st and cast an overwhelming vote against licen­ sing liquor stores in that good county. Rowan is our neighbor county to the South. We would dislike to see liquor stores opened in this section. What we need is : less liquor instead of making D -. easier to get. ' Resigns Posiiion j J. F. Lowrance, who has been I principal of the Mocksville schools ] for the past two years, has resign- j ed his position. Mr. Lowrance j hasn’t fully decided what business j he will engage in. A number of j 'the present school faculty will not i return to Mocksville next fall, j The teachers shortage is becom- j ing more acute every year. I M-Sgt. Gensener, Commanding Officer of the Winston-Salem Sub Station of the U.S. Army Recruit­ ing Service, announces that the deadline-for partially disabled com­ bat wounded veterans of World War II to enlist in the Regular Army and retain the grade held at the time of discharge has been extended from Mar. 31 to June 30. This new directive will apply to all former enlisted men wounded during World War II, who sub­ mit applications for a three yeer enlistment on or before June 30, regardless of the sime that has elapsed since they were discharg­ ed. After June 30th it will be ne­ cessary for these men to apply within 20 days of date of discharge in order to retain their grade. Sgt. Gensener states that parti­ ally disabled veterans, whose last service was as an officer, Warrant Officer, or Flight Officer, are eli gible to return to the Army as First ot Master Sergeants, provided they apply for a three year enlist­ ment on or before June 30. After that date they must apply within 20 days of the last day of terminal leave in order to be enlisted in the first grade. AU partially disabled combat wounded vsterans applying for en­ listment must meet the minimum requirements for enlistment in the Army—with the specific exception of their combat incurred disability Sgt. Gensener says that thera are openings in many different fields for these men. Some of the job openings are: Diesel end Auto­ mobile Mechanics, postal clerks, dental laboratory technicians, tele­ type operators, moving picture projectionists, classification speci­ alists, electiicians, machinists, fin- , ance clerks, and shoe repairmen. On Wednesday afternoon, May 21, at two o’clock, the annual Small Grain Field Day is being held at the State Test Farm, two miles north of Statesville. All those who are interested in a bet­ ter grain program for North Caro­ lina are invited to attend. Dr. G. K. Middleton from State College, will be in charge of this meeting, and he will be assisted by others from the College. A large group from Darie is ex­ pected to be present. J. W. Hen­ dricks, a former Davie County man, is assistant director in charge of this farm. Sugar Stamp 12 Valid June Dt Washington.—The Agriculture Department announces that sugar ration stamp No. 12 for individ- -ual consumers will become valid June I instead of July I, as origi­ nally planned. It will allow pur­ chase of 10 pounds. The Departmment said that sup­ plies from the stamp must last until October 31, when price and rationing controls will expire un­ less extended by Congress. Consumers ration stamp No. 12 is tlie second to be designated as a 10-pound sugar stamp. The first was No. 11 which became valid April 1st. Mr. and Mrs. W. D.

By Proxy “Why did they hang that pic­ ture?” “Because they couldn’t find the artist.” Sad FUght Plaht, matter-of-fact, John disliked the female sex with a vengeance, pre­ ferring a man’s world altogether. Vpon his return from his first day at school his mother politely inquired: "John, are there any girls in your room at school?”Instantly he answered with utter dis­ gust: "Pooh—the room’s full of 'em. Why, Fm just SURRENDERED with ’em.” Threatened Showers The Uttle four-year-old, Dorothy May, took a tumble oft the veran­ dah. Said her mamma: “Did it hurt you, baby?” “Yes, it hurted, but I didn’t cry, Mamma. I just clouded up.” This came from a lonely moun­ tainous section of the country. A young man needing false teeth wrote to a dentist ordering a set as follows: “My month is three inches acrost, five-eighths of an inch through the jaw, some hum­ mocks on the edge. Shaped like a hoss shoe, toe forward. If you want me to be more particular, I’ll have to come thar.” And How Billy’s parents had a visitor, a man with whom his father had gone to college.

When Julia M cFatlane’s husband, Ricbard, disappeared in World War I, she and her father-in-law, John I. Mc- Fariane, raised her two children to­ gether. Twenty-five years have elapsed and Ric, now SI, is In Ihe arm y of World War II, while Jill, 26, has be* com e interested in Lieut. Spang Gordon. Julia Is worried about Ric who has sbown tendencies of lnheritins his fa­ ther’s recklessness and JIU, who she is afraid m ight m arry Spang, thus be­ coming an army wife, subject to the sam e grief she has endured. She con­ fides these worries to pave Patterson, a family friend who secreUy loves her. Jill and Spang go to a dance and there Jill discovers she Is In fove. CHAPTER IV She greeted all the people she knew with sparkling brightness. She led Spang around the room, intro­ ducing him to all the dowagers, try­ ing not to look too terribly proud, too triumphant. So they danced. “This Is the Army,” and “Manhattan Sere­ nade,” and then when they passed the band stand the leader caught the glint of Spang’s wings, and the music swung into the Air Corps song, and Spang stopped dead, and Jill sang it with him, tilting her head back, tears burning her eyelids because it was so gallant and so beautiful! “Off we go, into the wild blue yonder—Flying high into the sun!” “I can’t bear it,” Jill was think­ ing, when the high moment sank and somebody cut in, leaving Spang a little bewildered till some man came up, dragging a girl in dahlia- colored chiffon. “I can’t bear hav­ ing it all go by me,” Jill was mourn­ ing to herself. “Like a parade marching past with flags flying, leaving me standing on the curb with the chewing-gum papers and the banana peels and all the stupid IM pple! OI1 cao’t Ie ski Can’t he see?” But though they danced till the band-leader’s collar was wilted and the trumpet player’s weary lip broke, and all the older people had gone home, though they romped downstairs with the rest to eat slightly curling sandwiches and drink punch that tasted flatly of the lump of ice that had melted in the bowl, though Spang gathered her close whenever he had the chance and said, “Now, let’s finish this one!” there was no supreme and wonderful moment. They never did finish one. There was always some man barging up with some girl in tow, and Spang smiled politely and surrendered Jill, who drifted off chewing hate be­ tween her teeth. But at last they were tramping back through the wet grass to the station-wagon, and Spang was help­ ing her in and tucking her skirt around her. He climbed up beside her and loosened his tie. “Never saw so many Four F’s and Three A’s at a party in my life,” he re­ marked. “We never did get a chance to try a rumba.” “I know,” Jill sighed, surrepti­ tiously sliding off a shoe. “But that was your fault. You were the glam­ our boy. All their dates wanted a whirl with the air corps, so I had to stumble around smelling fourteen different kinds of shaving lotion and hearing a hundred versions of the same alibi, how like the devil they all wished they could get into the big middle of this fight. I’m starv­ ing, and I know a Greek who makes the best hamburgers in the world. Let’s get some, shall we?” “Swell idea. You navigate, and I’ll fly the heap. Gosh, all those women are going to hate me. Every darn one gave me some message to deliver to some fellow at camp, and there isn’t a chance that I’ll ever see one of those men. Can’t they realize that we’ve got. forty thousand men down there and that you never have any time to look up a man who isn’t in your squadron?” “They don’t know 9 thing about the army except what they read and hear on the radio. I’ve heard my mother tell that when my father was leaving for the port of embark­ ation some old lady gave him a spice cake to deliver to her son, and all she knew was that he was somewhere in France.” Daughter of The Regiment “A war would be a darn sight easier on the army if it wasn’t for the civilians,” said Spang. They parked at the little lunch wagon and ate two hamburgers .apiece and drank tall bottles of pop, laughing a great deal over nothing. “I’m being silly,” Jill thought du­ biously. “I’m pressing the issue, and in a little while if I’m not care­ ful he’ll know how I feel, and may- be he’ll be sorry for me, or dis­ gusted.” Spang would not take advantage, that she knew. There was a quiet and fastidious reserve about him that could be trusted. So she forced herself into a cool airiness, though a small ache was growing bigger and tighter in her breast. If Spang went away with nothing spoken, with only the com­ monplaces of friendship between them, a casual good-by, that pain, she knew, would last forever. It had to be love because nothing like this had ever happened to her before, nothing so sweet, nothing so urgent. She was so changed within herself. She was not the Jill Mc- Farlane she had been at all, not the girl who had come home from coUege with no definite objective, only a few half-baked ideas about getting into some kind of service, preferably some branch with a keen uniform. Now she felt dedicated somehow, and everything that had been was trivial and not even worth considering any more. She said, “fit you get ptomaine, I’U make you a mustard plaster. I’m very special on mustard plas­ ters.” She said, “What will you do when they finish this war business, Spang? Keep on flying?” “I don’t know.” Spang wiped mustard from his fingers with a very clean handkerchief. "All these kids will be in it then. It will be the world’s most crowded profes­ sion. Maybe I’ll go back to the farm. That place of yours is pretty swell, and a farmer is darned inde­ pendent.” “Don’t mention that to Mother— “What I’m thinking about is the millions of women stuck home.” especially if she has just had a row with the county agent.” “She’s done pretty well, in spite of her handicaps.” “She had to.” Jill was loyal. "She had Ric and me and Grandfather' and not any money to speak of. Grandfather had some, but Dooley was terribly proud, she was deter­ mined to make her own way.” “We won’t any of us have any money after the war, not for years. This will be a complete democracy then, every man equal, because every man will be broke.” Was he giving her a gentle brush- off, telling her without words that life was earnest, that when the war was over he was going to need some broad-hipped woman with a placid capacity for work and no more tem­ perament than a cow? No band music or parades, no daughter of the regiment? Jill wondered as she lay that night wide-awake in her bed. Spang and Jill Compare Futures But he’s here, she comforted her­ self, sharply aware of him beyond the wall. He needn’t have come, he could have spent his leave some­ where else. But he did come, and somehow I have to be what he wants. She got up early, so early that Julia, having her coffee on the screened porch, looked at her daughter in surprise. “On Sunday?” She wrinkled her brow. “Or haven’t you been in bed at all?” “Of course I’ve been in bed, beau­ tiful.” Jill nibbled a piece of toast from Julia’s plate. “Spang says you look like my sister, though I shouldn’t tell you because you’re terribly vain already.” “Don’t be disturbed, because I feel like your grandmother this morning. We lost a thousand-dollar brood animal last night and your grandfather has gone into deep mourning. Did you have fun last night?” “I guess so. Dooley, I’ve been thinking. It’s time I started help­ ing you a little. You’d better put me to work.” “So he admires milkmaids, does he?”“I didn’t ask him. It’s just a sug­ gestion, of course.” “Don’t bristle, sweet. Red hair is so darned explosive. The dahlias are beginning to bloom. You could freshen up the house a little.” “No. That’s the droopy act they always pull in novels. Pretty girl discovered in the garden with an armful of flowers! I don’t want anything as corny as that.” “Well, if you’d rather be discov­ ered feeding a calf, the buckets are in the well-house. But it might have a slightly strained look, as Foster and I fed them all long ago. Why not just read the funnies and be natural? Men have been known to admire women who were content to be themselves." Julia’s face changed a little, sobered. “Don’t go off the deep end on this, please, Jill. You’re stiU young.” “But I’m not! I’m not young. And there’s a war.” “I know.” Julia was gentle. "I don’t want you to be hurt.” “I’m hurt already. It’s no good, Dooley,” Jill said faintly. “Every­ thing you say is true, and yet it’s all no good!” It was a lovely Sunday, Jill de­ cided, if you liked lovely Sundays. The August heat was tempered by a cloudy sky, and aU the hills leaned lazily against the horizon, with smoky haze masking their drowsy indolence. She walked up the lane with Spang and through the meadow where the late crop of hay had been cut, where elderberries shook their purple heads over fences and quail scampered through the clover stub­ ble, their bright eyes apprehensive. At the top of the hill they found John I. McFarIane. He was sitting under the big persimmon tree, cut­ ting little twigs into lengths and pil­ ing them in neat piles at his feet. He grumped a greeting, and Jill said, “Sorry about your prize pig, Grandfather.” But he only nodded and went on with his whittling. The woodland on the ridge was cool and full of little wild whis­ perings, and paths cut by tiny hoofs ran through it in every direction. Spang said, “Good timber,” and Jill answered, “Awfully old, I think.” And then they were at the rail fence and the crest, and there below them the lake shimmered, flat and quiet, reflecting the lavender coloring of the sky. Spang asked, “How’s the fishing?” And Jill said, “Ask Grandfather. He’s the fisherman in the family.” “Off to the east where the hills sank, a raincrow began its sad crying, and in a great oak over­ head a little bird whimpered and shrieked sharply, voicing some small heartbreak. A leaf fell and struck the back of Jill’s hand, and she looked at it and saw the yellow of winter already in its heart, a fading, a prescience, and she shivered a little. “Dogwood,” Spang said, smooth­ ing the leaf between his fingers. “They fall early.” “Then it will be winter,” Jill spoke numbly, “and how are we going to bear it?” He looked at her soberly. “The Russians will bear it. And the Greeks. There won’t be much to eat in their towns and no place to get warm, but they’ll fight through. So will we.” “I’m not thinking about things like that. I’m not soft. I can take it. Things like that, anyway. What I’m thinking about is millions of women, stuck home alone. That’s the ghastly prospect.” “That’s your battle,” Spang said. “It’s tough, I agree. But we’re up against the same kind of thing. Mil­ lions of men, stuck in the middle of a war, alone. Every one alone, even though there’s a mob around him. Nobody to admire us, and nothing nice to look at. Hairy legs in show­ ers and masculine table manners uninhibited by feminine presence, nothing soft to sit on, nothing soft to look at, nothing but sweat and men swearing, who’d like to cry but can’t. Wet khaki dangling from coat-hangers, and those awful fa­ tigue hats. Now it’s your turn.” “I give up.” Jill managed a smile. “At least we can tie our hair back with ribbons and pretend somebody cares how we look.” “Do you tie your hair back with ribbons?” “Green ones—to match my dis­ position.” “How about some brown velvet to match your eyes?” With a Song In Her Heart Jill’s heart began to sing again. But she held her eagerness grimly in check. She wasn't going to read tenderness into his voice or his eyes; after all it might be a line, the old army line. But somehow she knew that Spang was different. Not the sort to give a girl compli­ ments that had no meaning, not the sort to smile and kiss, lightly per­ haps, and then ride on. Slow, Jill McFarlane, warned the adult part, of her mind. Aloud she said, “My eyes are black. I hated them when I was small. I wanted big blue eyes and yellow curls down to my waist, But I got eyes like Grandfather and hair like Mother, and my father's rest- lessness. Except that Mother says he hated Buzzard's Hill, and thought that Mother was crazy to want to live here when her people died. But I love the place.” Spang looked down the slope to the red roofs and wandering white fences, the softening green of the great old trees. “It’s a handsome place. Your mother told me the house was a hundred years old. They built to last in those days.” (TO BE CONTINUED) SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS \J e r S a tile , ^ " la tte r in g , ^ o r u m m e r Easily Laundered Dress CCALLOPS edge the diagonal closing and handy pocket on this delightfully cool daytime dress.

J w d vQ, cl JUmL Albert Einstein, commuting from Princeton, N. J., to New York City recently, decided to lunch on the train. A waiter handed him the menu. The great mathematician fumbled for his glasses but he’d forgotten them. Though extreme­ ly nearsighted, Einstein shrugged his shoulders and attempted to read the bill of fare anyway. First he held it at arms length, and then close to his face. But it was no use; he couldn’t make it out with­ out his glasses. Finally, he turned to the waiter and said: “You read it for me, please.” The waiter shook his head sym­ pathetically and replied: “I’se ig­ norant too, boss.” 8 1 5 8 12-20 Round-Yoked Frock A PRETTY round-yoked frock for all your summer activi­ ties.

BENSON President—Mtrd!*/ CeUefi Sctrcy, Arittmai U n c l e S a m S a y s , Put on a Lid 1 M you aren’t a deadbeat and you i •xpect to stay out of bankruptcy' and you want a decent credit rec­ ord, the chances are that you pay your expenses pretty much as you go. When emergencies arise, you watch your budget so that you spend as I little as possible. It’s a good old American custom to live within in­ come. That’s a practice that makes for sturdy citizenship and for com­ munity stability. But here we are, all of us together •s a nation, very much wanting to cut our taxes but very leery about reducing budget expenditures. The national budget, you know, repre­ sents what we do with our tax money. It is fine to shout hooray when taxes •re cut, but it will make more sense if we first learn to whittle down our alarming budget without frowning. A good strong lid on government spending is the only sane route to tax reductions. A Halt to Spending The President has proposed a budget of $37,500,000,000 which Con­ gress is currently reviewing. Senti­ ment exists in Congress for a ceiling on federal spending much lower than the budget recommended by the President. Congress, as soon as pos­ sible, should place a limit of $30,000,- 000,000 above which federal spend­ ing may not go. Ultimately, a budget of $20,000,000,000 ought to be ade­ quate to run our federal machinery. Most citizens claim little compre­hension of these astronomical fig­ ures. Twenty billion may seem more like measurements characteristic of distances to the stars. But the fig­ ure is dollars. This proposed peace­ time expenditure program of $37,500,- 000,000 is $9,330,000,000 more than we spent for non-defense items in 1946, not counting interest on national debt. This astronomical budget means that almost $300 is asked from every living American. It is estimated that such a budget would cost the aver­ age family $1,000 in taxes this year. Budget in hand, your pencil will show in short order that we have no better way to get out from under our tax burdens than to limit our spend­ ing. We may cut our taxes without paying any attention to federal ■pending, but the outcome will be deficit spending and added debt. JTou’re Paying Salaries Senator Byrd says there has been very little reduction in war-expanded personnel of government. Not count­ ing the various war agencies, Sena­ tor Byrd points to constantly in­ creasing personnel totals. These jumped nearly 300,000 since V-J Day. Moneywise; this tendency is graph­ ically shown by the request of the Department of Commerce for $261,- 000,000 in 1948. This is an increase of 600% over the $39,000,000 this de­ partment spent in 1932. Budget reductions reviewed by Congressional committees have sug­ gested elimination of about one-half million federal payrollers. This is •11 too few. To bring the number of civilian employees of the govern­ ment down to the swollen figure of 1939 we must lay off 1,500,000. (We’d still have 900,000 eating from the public breadbasket.) This would be a most logical way to avoid an an­ nual expenditure of more than five billion dollars. This couid be money saved. It’s out of your pockets and m ine. U n c l e S a m S a v s Abraham Lincoln’s birthday should be a reminder to my nieces and nephews that they have the oppor­tunity to emancipate themselves from future insecurity by buying United States Savings Bonds regu­larly. Every time you buy a bond you’ve added something to the fu­ture you’re creating—a home, an education for your children, a secure old age for yourself. Every signed payroll savings authorization card is a personal emancipation proclama­ tion—emancipation from the slavery of a future hand-to-mouth existence. Every regular purchase of a Sav­ings Bond at your bank, post office or where you work Is another step toward future happiness.U. 5. Treasury Department HUNTING BUSINESS HS.

If men would stop and think a bit Before they act so quick, Far less would be in failure’s pit With soul and spirit sick, Beeause they’ve done the feelish things So much across the years. Until success has taken wings And given place to tears. If men would thtnk and look head When forming habits bad, How much they’d save themselves ot dread And heartaches that are sad; For thoughtless hearts are aching hearts, And empty minds are wells, Where Satan dumps his evil arts, Or dope that always tells If men would think when tempted wrong t Jnst what the end may be. Or bow. perhaps, they’ll suffer long If now they fail to see. The sting there is in ev’rv sin. The bitter wee and gall, We think there’d be a lot who’d win Grand vict’ry.over all. Indeed it Days to think and think Ere going with the crowd, Or stepping out your arms to link With worldly folks and croud, Who take the artificial stuff Old Satan has to give, Then suffer lashings that are rough As through the years you live. O use your mind, my fellow dear, In sober, earnest thought, And be a student that Is clear On truths that God has taught Through holy men who wrote His Book, Or men inspired to teach. Then for the good you’ll always look, And for the right you’ll reach! Plantin' Time The mule b s taken over. Tract­ ors are parked. It’s plantin’ time, and planting cotton Is still too de­ licate an operation to be done with big wheeled vehicles cuffing smoke. They may plant cotton with tractors in the flat country, but here ou our rolling Piedmont lands; where the rows are laid out to bar monize with the contour oi thr earth, the mule is still Old Faithful. A tew days ago. when the fields were being readied for the planting, it seemed all mules had been sold off to the tallow factories. They were conspicuously absent. Trac tors were everywhere, their noisy exhausts heard from all directions, early and late, and their ligh's shining acress new plowed furrows as farmers moved back bedtime to take advantage of the weather. The mules are in the field now, and the taactors are missing. Plant­ ers’ wives or children wait at the ends of the curving rows with mea snres of cotton seed, just the .right amount for refilliug the planter which the mule pulls and the farm­ er guides. The two-wheel planter opens a little trench atop a flatten­ ed row, drops the cotton seed me mechanical in tempo with t he mule’s pace, and gently pats a lit­ tle soil over the seed—and all the farmer who guides him and the planter handles. Maybeafarmercaufeel a sense of teamwork when pushing a tract­ or’s throttle; we have onr doubt a* bout it. But the mule, the farmer, the wife and children and dog—all out in 'the field planting cotton— are a picture of teamwork itself And faith. Plantin’ time re­ minds us that none lives so much by his faith as does the farmer — Charlotte Observer. Land posters at this office. Destroyer of Liberty The Communist party of Oregon recently distributed a curious leaf­ let In opposition fa the demand of Secretary of Labor Schwellenbacb that the pytv be outlawed in this conntry. In that leaflet it made this interesting statement: “All Americans, especially all tiade unionists and their organizations, should remember that in every country in wbicb the communist party was outlawed, the free trade unions and the liberties of all sec­ tions of the common people were also suppressed ” It would be interesting to ask the Communists about conditions in Russia, the home ot Communism. Certainly the Communist party has not been suppressed -there—it is tbe only legal partv, and it runs the country, lock stock and barrel And, in Russia “the free trade un ions and the liberties of all sections of the common people’’ are and have long been non-existent. Jtus- si a is tbe police state pure and sim­ ple. Labor, and everyone else, does'what it is told on pain of the heaviest punishment. The stard- ard of living ot Ruslan workars is almost at Asiatic levels. The rul­ ing class, by comparison, knows every luxury Reliable authori­ ties. such as Max Eastman, have recently written that the" Soviet government, as a matter of policy, has transported legions of workers trom one part of the country to the other, has subjected them force la­ bor, aud has maintained them in conditions only to Hitler’s concen­ tration camps. Only In ' the much-reviled capi talist nations have the rights of la­ bor and the "common people’’ been scrupulously protected and maintained. Only under capital­ ism have the basic freedoms of speech, nssembly add religion been kept fully alive. What this all means is that the super-state is ine­ vitably a destroyer of liberty.— Wilkes Pariot. Britain’s Plight Believe it or not, England now has a law against spending money aboard, and the once ubiquitous Briton is forced to change his globe-trotting habits and confine hip peregrinations to the British currency area. No longer can the Britisher hop the Channel for a winter on t<ie Riviera or risk his guineas at the baccarat table at Monte Carlo’s casino. Three hundred dollars is all bis government allows him to spend vacationing abroad in any one year, and with what has hap­ pened to prices throughout the world lately, that wou’t carry him very far. The law was designed to con­ serve sterling exehange, and those who shrugged it off as a joke and foyfully packed their gladstones for a fling on the continent returned to discover that the joke is on them and not very funny, either, Fiues ranging up to $5 0 ,0 0 0 have been assessed against scores of wealthy tourists, one even receiving a three- months prison sentence The harshness with which tbe law is being enforced accentuates the desperate financial condition of Great Britain. The country has already used up a substantial por. tion of the three and a half billion dollar loan tbe United States grant­ ed last year, and when the re­ mainder of the credit has been consumed we will be asked to make another loan. The question i« whether we can afford to weaken our own financial position by con­ tinuing to pour out our substance to a poverty stricken world. Most of the foreign loans we have been making, and these now under con­ sideration; are actually gifts and will never he repaid. In exporting our substance we may be export* ing onr security as well,—States ville Daily, Security Benefit Gain* ents Tardy Mrs. Rutb Duffy, Managerofthe Winston-Salem Field OEBce of the Social Security Administration in the Nissen Building, today called attention to the availability of So cial Security benefits for survivors of ex servicemen who die within three years after the date of their honorable discharge trom service. To date, Mrs. Duffy said, ,onlv 5 0 claims have been received at her office from the five counties in her a*ea for the benefits payable under the veterans’ amendment to the Social Security Act. She urged persons who believe they are eligi. ble tor payments to write her of fice for application forms. The Winston Salem office has jurisdic tion over Davie 1 Forsyth, Stokes. Surry and Yadkin counties. Under tbe terms of tbe amend ment, veterans to whom it applies are given the status of fully insur. ed workers under the old-age and survivors insurance program of the Social Security Administration with an average monthly wage credit of $16o. They are given an addit ional percentage credit, which will increase the benefits their survivors may receive for each year in which they had a minimum of 30 days of active service after Sept. 16, 1940. In order for a veteran's survivors to be qualified for benefits under the amendment which became law last August, he must h ve been discharged from the armed forces under circumstances other than dis bonorabie within four years aad a day after the officially proclaimed end of World War II; died within three years after the date of bis discharge; and had at least go days of active duty between Sept. 16th 1 9 4 0, and the official end of the war. The 9 0 day teqnirement does not apply if the veterans were dis­ charged because of physical disa. bility incurred or aggsavated while in service In addition to \oung widows with dependent children, other eligible survivors inclnde widows age 65 and aged dependent parents of vet. eran leaves no widow or child un­ der 18, In tbe absence of any per­ son immediately eligible for month­ ly benefit payments, a lump sum paymant may be made to certain specified relatives or to persons who pay burial expenses. Claims are retroactive for three months. Hair, Nailt And M Smd Along Nan Strut H. A. W .- Haw! Henry Agard Wallace was quot ed as saving in England: “It be­ gins to like Great Britain is a freer country than the United States.” It is quite probable that Britain with some rather tragic experiences with her own traveling nationals during the war, will understand. Contributing Causes Sixty per cent of ail persons kill­ ed In automobile accidents meet death during the hours of darkness, suggesting that lack of daylight faulty headlights and fatigue are major contributing causes to ac- etdents From midnight to one in the morning the accident rate is 5.2 per cent, find from one to six in the morning 16.2 per cent of all way fatalities occur. Aud that sug. gests something more than ordi­ nary fatigue. It is during those hours that revelers return from roadhoiisesi and nightspots. They are not often also brimming Xiver with the "good cheer” dispensed at such places - Statesville Daily, Administrator’s Notice Having qualified as administratix of the estate of Mrs. Sallie Jarvis, deceased, notice is hereby given to all persons bold ing claims against the said estate to pre sent the same, properly verified, to the undersigned at Advnnce.

Tbe “Beauiifying Business” in the Unired S>tes has in recent years bccome a thriving billion dol Iar business Boys use a stay . omb predaration and carry about with them a little mirror and pocket comb to ‘touah themselves up.” Girls are more extravagant They spend much time in beauty pari ors. They spend hugs sums on lipstick. Tbeir nail poiish and hand lotions alone cost thvm over twenty-one million dollars last year. This may be perfectly all right. We admit that it ends to make them somewhat more attractive to tbe average age. although we know that it is a very fleeting thing, a verv superficial sort of beauty, that it is just a cheap veneer aud a sbam We may gild a Common brick and pass it for gold to these who are less wise, but of course that’s a fraud. It is liable to land ua in the pen. Surveys of health conditions in our pnblic schools have In recent years brought to light some scan dalous tacts The doctors and nur­ ses have been looking throu some of this veneer of beauty. Thev find that the teeth of our school child­ ren are universally bad. In some instances their mouths are filthy. They find small tots and older chil­ dren too with fancy bair-does and painted nails who seldom use a tooth brush and who do not use enough plain soap The teachers in the schools and the Health Department are now stressing the imnortanco of the teeth and general cleanliness in re­ lation to both the personal appear­ ance and general health. They are telling the children not to wor­ ry too mncb about jhe hair on their beads beyond keeping it clean with plain soap and water, because even if they cut it all off it will soon grow back They are telling them to pay more attention to be proDer care of their teeth and mouth conditions, for if they lose their permanent teeth they will not grow back. They are urging tbe youngsters to examine their teeth before a mirror with a view to finding out what is needed. They are urging parents to give this matter more thought and attention with a view to helping tbe child to better health and better looks. The Division of Oral Hygiene, State Board of Health is taking a large band in this adncaiional pro­ gram. They are carrying tbe ideas to the children with a puppet show and following this up with whole­ some literature in tbe interest of better teeth and better health. Tbe time is not far off that one’s Intelligence and character will be judged not by hair does, lipstick and painted nails, but by the con­ dition ot their teeth and general health If dirt lies under all tbe paint and camouflage tbe person is marked regardless of sex, race or crsed That is plain talk, but it's time for us to wake up. It is time for vanity 10 enhance natural beauty in a wholesome sensible manner. Intelligent people will do this and not go so strong for cheap sbam. A toorh brash regularly used, plen- ty of plaiu soap and water and a good nail brush are worth far more tbau all the rubbish sold for cam­ ouflage. Think it over for your­ self. ALFRED MORDECAI. M.

Food Destroyers Herbert Hoover again has direct, ed attention to the Ioiiy of destroy­ ing German munitions plants that could produce phosphorus and ni- trogene for fertlizerS: He pointed out that because the plants have been wrecked, the world food crisis will be worse next year than it is this year. ‘‘If we are going to take that line,” said Mr Hoover, "we might as well couclude tbe American tax­ payers is going to pay the food bill for Europe from now on.” Mr. Hoover’s voice is one of the few uotes of sanitv in all the con­ fused talk about the food problem. For nearly two yeers he has been preaching that the most humane way to help tbe suffering people of Europe is to help them grt back to producing their own food. His ad. vice has been ignorant and con­ scienceless men in our feeble State Depnrtment, who know only one fortnnla—going to Congress and asking for appropriations to ship American food abroad. The results of this formula are known by every American house­ wife. She and her husband are paving for relief goods, not only with their taxes, but with the in creased cost of tiring. So long as Europe is unable to meet its own needs, tbe cost of living will be high in tbe United States. Mr Hoover explained that 9 0 per cent of the world’s exports of food comes tbe United States, Ca nada, Argentina and Australia, which have about 9 per cent of the total population. Obviously these countries cannot continue indefi­ nitely to car. y this burden; world­ wide economic collapse would be tbe sure result S iCh a collapse is tbe fondest de. sire of men in tbe Kremlin. They have something to gain by prolong­ ing the suffering of Europe. They have something to gain by dismant ling the German nitrate plants. Every European peasant for ceturi- es has known that his land won’t grow food without fertilizer. It’s too bad somebody in our State De­ portment hasn’t found out about it. Union Republican.

Spring Luncheons Now that spring housecleanmg is over and we are proud of our shin- ing, spic and span jO U k ESf homes, it’s time to return obliga- W g f tions for lunch- eons ,which have piled up within B H L y A the last severalm m m 1V| weeks. There is y W truly no season during which it’s more fun to en­ tertain than these lusciously warm days when garden foods are plenti­ ful. If you want to carry luncheons off successfully, plan light in-season foods. Use sufficient fruits and veg­ etables to keep the menu sea­ sonal, and let your table decorations carry out the theme. Lamb chops and chicken, aspara­ gus and strawberries, and a few other foods are reigning favorites. Around them you can build a lunch­ eon menu that will be both eye- appealing and and tasty. Plan to do most of the cooking ahead of time so you won’t be ruffled by the time the guests begin to come in. If you want to serve a nice meat dish you might like to start off with a stuffed lamb chop, follow it with a tomato aspic or tossed salad and asparagus, then top off with strawberries and cream. ♦Stuffed Lamb Chops. 4 double-thick lamb chops 3 canned peaches I cup crushed pineapple 1A cup soft bread crumbs Vs cup butter or substitute Brown lamb chops in skillet on both sides. Toss together finely chopped peaches, pineapple, bread crumbs and but­ ter. Pile on top of chops which have been placed in a casserole. Bake in a moderate (350-degree) oven for 20 minutes.

A luxury luncheon "for special guests uses both chicken and ham in the main dish. However, you can keep the rest of the luncheon cost down by serving simply a tossed salad and a rhubarb compote for dessert.

A more eco­ nomical luncheon, but one just as pretty, consists of this salad loaf done with aspic and crabmeat. This is delicious served with hot biscuits and topped off with pineapple sherbet with fresh straw­ berry sauce. Crabmeat Party Salad.

A few days later the would-be purchaser again ran into the cat owner and, upon asking about the cat, learned it had’been sold. “Sold?” inquired the would-be purchaser. “For how much?” “For $10,000.” “Cash?” cried the skeptic. “Well, not exactly,” said the owner. “I got two $5,000 dogs in exchange.” HARSH LAXATIVES UNNECESSARY?

P. Moore, Senatobia, Mississippi, election to the Champion Farmers of America in 1944* On his 15,000 acres he pioneered soil conservation methods, proved that feed crops can-be grown, and showed that properly managed rundown land will profitably support livestock. On fewer acres he grows as much cotton as under the one-crop system, and on the acres removed from cotton, raises feed for hundreds of cattle. The purebred Polled Herefords on his Circle “M” Ranch are among the best. For four consecutive years his auction prices have set new world records. His many tractors are equipped with Firestone Ground Grip tires, and he says that die new Firestone Champion Ground Grip is the best tire he has ever used. NOTE: Write to The Firestone Tire & Rubber Companyi Akron, Ohioy for booklet “M. P. Moore, Champion Farmer/' Ghampio n FarmerMoo r e U s e s T i Y e s t o n e C H A M P IO N GROMND G R IPS T HERE are four sound reasons why m en like Champion Farmer Moore are putting their tractors on Firestone Champion Ground Grips: (I) they clean up to 100% more effec­ tively; (2) they pull up to 62% more; (3) they last up to 91% longer; and (4) they roll more smoothly on the highways. The extra high, curved, connected traction bars make this superiority possible. Shaped like a pyramid, they cut into the soil with a sharp, cleaving action. Mud falls from them freely because the space 'between the bars is wider at the shoulders than near connections brace and strengthen the tread and give the tires a powerful “center bite” in the very heart of the traction zone. The tires roll smoothly because the curved, connected bars are in continuous contact with the highway. It will pay you to insist upon Firestone Champion Ground Grips for your tractor. They cost no more than ordinary tires. listen to the Voice of firestone every Monday evening over NBC V^.:- M.P.'.MOORE mwMz W .<> "I IfIIllK IIliH'iiminiiiiii" I.... S m ......

A le m a n P r o v e s A 'G o o d N e ig h b o r M ex ica n P re sid en t’s V isit B o o sts F r ie n d ly R ela tio n s By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. BrNC Service, 1616 Eye Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. WASHINGTON.—Despite the fact that relations between the United States and some of our sister repub­ lics to the south have degenerated considerably since the inventor of the “good neighbor” policy died that’s not the case with Mexico. You would realize that if you had seen the all-time high in demonstra­ tions that took place when Pres. Miguel Aleman visited Washington. The first meeting and greeting on Constitution avenue had the inspira­ tion of local pep- campaign but there was no out- s i d e stimulant injected into what was a really rip - roar­ ing response to the lanky and smiling Latin when he visited congress on May Day. More than a few of his hear­ ers could follow him in the Span­ ish—and every- BAUKHAGE body could match up his liquid phrases with the translation they held in their laps. The speech was short and snappy. When he was through, senators, representatives and the packed gal­ leries couldn't stop applauding even after el Presidente had disap­ peared. Applause burst out again and again for almost everybody as they passed up the aisle. Senator Vandenberg, who usually is asso­ ciated with foreign relations of an­ other sort, got a generous share along with the cabinet members and diplomatic corps. Prom the rostrum of the house of representatives, Aleman said that "nearly 300 million people living side by side in this hemisphere are concerned not only with assistance to ward off foreign aggression, but also with the efforts to overcome the dangers of poverty and despair in the difficult years of peace.” A little bit earlier that day a joint statement had been issued, signed by both President Truman . and President Aleman, stating that agreements had been reached for the U. S. to grant credits to Mexico —credits to make the greatest and earliest contribution to the eco­ nomic development of the land be­ low the Rio Grande. The two chief executives agreed that their respec­ tive administrations must exert every effort to raise the standards of living in their countries, increas­ ing productivity and, consequently, purchasing power. Confusion Prevails A t N ew s C onference We newsmen had our own “hasta la vista” later that afternoon in Blair-Lee house, a part of the twin residences turned over to visiting dignitaries for a press and radio conference which came near being chiefly a photographic contest. It was a struggle, unseemly indeed, in that somewhat precieuse setting of antique .furniture, pale green walls, wide mirrors and not very large early American rooms. Not large enough anyway for the mob which surged about between the little bar, the battery of cam­ eras and the doorway into the gar­ den through which el Presidenie was to appear. Dogwood in the gar­ den looked over the brick wall, Isomewhat startled at the noisy gathering, At last the tall smiling figure, flanked by secret service men, appeared. He sat at a table. Ttie newsmen crowded around him, completely cutting off the cameras. The newswomen’s huge hats completely screened' the klieg lights. A controversy of n'o little heat ensued and no little heat exuded from the high candle-power bulbs and the nor­ mal radiation of a hundred or so energetic human beings. Finally the newsmen Were pushed back and the cameras set to work. Some of the reporters’ were pushed clear out of range and I saw one helpless, hapless gentleman wedged tightly between the bar and the backs of three husky Mexican pressmen. The poor fellow’s right hand was pinioned;so note-taking was impossible. Only his left arm was free, and that was deep in the middle of a nest of scotch-and- sodas. What else could he do about it? (Salud y pesetas t) The photographing continued. The photographers in front wouldnlt stop. , , The newsmen cried, “Enough!" One reporter, reversing the ancient proverb sighed, "One word is worth a thousand pictures.” The photographer yielded. “Do they do this in Mexico?” asked an American reporter, archly. “They do this in Mexico,” an­ swered a Mexican reporter, in per­ fect English, white teeth gleaming. Little news was brought out be­ yond what Aleman had said to con­ gress or what was in the joint state­ment concerning loans for Mexican industrial and agricultural develop­ ment. But there was one, last question: “What impressed you most on your visit, Mr. President?” “Arlington and Mount Ver­ non,” he replied, “The enduring lessons of George Washington, the great father of your coun­ try, must be constantly taught and rehearsed in your country.” And so the Truman gesture at Chapultepec wap reciprocated. M exico E m barking On Six-Year Plan , Mexico still has some credit pre­ viously approved by the Export- Import bank which she hasn’t used. She has borrowed 68 millions large­ ly used for highway construction, transportation and industry; she has repaid 13 millions; still has 30 millions in the bank. More will be needed to carry out Aleman’s six-year plan, which in­ cludes increased irrigation and power facilities—two TVA’s will be constructed, Mexican style. Mexico is an agricultural country without too much arable soil; she needs to raise more to feed herself properly. To do this will require six times as many irrigated acres as at present. The joint statement also indicated that the two presidents were work­ ing out an arrangement to stabilize exchange which would permit Mex­ ico to buy American dollars when she needs them to buy American goods, and sell them back when she ‘GOOD NEIGHBOR’ Warns Aggressors can spare them. In wartime, when she was selling us more than she was buying, she built up a supply of dollars: But now she’s buying more from us than she’s selling to us. By allowing her to buy dollars at the rate of five pesos to the dollar, Mexico's money will be kept stable —otherwise individuals might start bidding up the dollar, which would decrease the value of the peso. Wbat did it add up to? Good sense between good neighbors who want to continue to be good customers. Mexico is farther to the left politically than we are, but it- is by no means one hun­ dred per cent socialist. As for Aleman’s political philoso­ phy, it was plain what he thought ■about the one - party totalitarian states when he said before con­ gress: “Civilization wanes when the state curtails individual freedom. . . . to impose its will or that of a, political party on its citizens.” It appears that Aleman’s brand of democracy is near enough to ours to make him the good neigh­bor we Washingtonians who met him think he is.

N E W S R E V IE W O k la h o m a S e n a to r S h o t; T e le p h o n e S tr ik e S e t tle d PH O N E ST R IK E E N D S: Workers Accept $4.40 Long distance telephone opera­ tors agreed to accept a compro­ mise pay increase of $4.40 a week, thereby ending the month-old strike that has been tying up the nation’s communications. Quick settlements of 28 other disputes followed the ac­ quiescence of the long lines workers to the new terms. The increase means about 11 cents per hour pay boost, vacation benefits and certain other concessions, such as seniority rights. About' 22,000 workers in 42 states are affected. The agreement was announced by Asst. Secy, of Labor John Gibson and Conciliation Director Edgar Warren, after a 7% hour night ses­ sion with representatives of the unions and the American Telegraph and Telephone company. Strikes against local companies of the BeU system were settled on substantial­ ly the same terms. Besides the wage hikes and other benefits the contract with the long dis­ tance workers was practically a re­ newal of old terms, which were ex­ tended for one year. A clause per­ mits either the union or the com­ pany to begin negotiations, after September I, for reclassification of towns to readjust wage schedules. Officials of the long lines workers’ union indicated the members would not cross picket lines of striking lo­ cal telephone workers. BO X C A R S: Shortage Easing Slowly but steadily the boxcar sit­ uation is improving, declares John Hayden, Chicago district manager of the American Association of American Railroads. Midwest freight conditions, he said, are the best they have been for a long time. Grain cars are moving in adequate numbers to the Southwestern wheat belt, where cutting of the new crop has begun. “We hope to have several thou­ sand empties stored there ready to handle the wheat when it comes from the combines,” said Eugene Coughlin, assistant to the chairman of A.A.R. “The carriers are in con­ siderably better condition to handle grain traffic than they were last year.” O K LA H O M A : Shooting in Senate A hometown feud exploded into gunplay on the floor of the Okla­ homa senate house in Oklahoma City. When the smoke cleared, eld­ erly Sen. Thomas Anglin was lying ■wounded, shot through the hip. His assailant, Rep. James Scott, a marine veteran, was arrested a few minutes later in a washroom. The shooting occurred before the. afternoon session'had opened, when- about half the senators were on the «•** State Sen. Anglin floor. Scott apparently fired twice, with one shot going wild. Some sen­ ators were under the impression that Anglin returned the fire, but this has been denied. Police said that An­ glin’s curious nine-shot, 25-caliber automatic had not been in action. Both legislators come from Hold- ensville, Okla. Anglin is 64, the old­est senator in the chamber in point of service. Representative Scott, 34, is heir to an oil fortune. Only mo­ tive that has been discovered for his action is that Anglin’s law firm rep­resented Scott’s former wife in‘her divorce suit and property settle, ment. G ER M A N Y : U. S. to End Army Rule Control of the U. S. zone of Ger- inany soon will be transferred from the American military government to civil authority. Secretary of State Marshall is preparing to take this : long-delayed step as soon as possible. The move will reverse the state department’s 158-year-old tra­ dition. Heretofore the department has vigorously resisted taking on any functions except formulation of policy. Former Secretary Byrnes wanted administration of Germany left with the war department, but Marshall, himself a veteran of the war depart­ ment, is willing to change that. He has not revealed any details of the civil government setup that he has in mind. Obviously a considerable military force will be needed in Ger­ many for some time, in case of out­breaks. Marshall denied that American and British officials had run into difficulties over basic policy in plans for merging the American and Brit­ ish zones, as reported from Berlin. RECORD OUTPUT F a r m P r o d u c t i y i t y I n c r e a s e s CHICAGO.—Measured on a vol­ ume basis, farm output in recent years has been 30 to 35 per cent higher than the 1935-39 average, ac­ cording to an article in the Northern Trust company’s monthly publica­ tion. The gain, it is pointed out, was recorded despite a decline of 10 per cent in the number of farm workers. Although generally favorable weather and longer hours in the fields aided in the production rec­ ord, the article contends that more important factors were greatly in­ creased mechanization of farming methods, wider use of improved crop varieties of the hybrid type, shifts to crops and livestock requir­ ing relatively less labor per unit of output and increased use of fer­ tilizer and lime for soil enrichment. Approximately twice the amount of fertilizer, used 10 years ago is be­ ing used now, use of lime has in­ creased threefold and acreage plant­ ed with hybrid seed com, for exam­ ple, has increased from “less than 5 per cent of the total corn acreage 10 years ago, to more than 65 per cent now.” Since the yield from hybrid seed is about 20 per cent greater than from common strains, “the effect upon overall output-is' clearly evident.” Further, farm productivity was in­ creased because production of meat animals, requiring about one-third as much labor per unit of produc­ tion as dairy products, has gained. The, tremendous advance in mech­ anization of farming methods is one of the most important factors in bringing about the record produc­tion of recent years, however, the article stated. Between 1940 and 1944 tractor production increased more than 25 per cent, mechanical com pickers more than 35 per cent and grain combines and milking machine installations more than 50 per cent.Increased productivity and low­ ered costs coming from mechaniza­ tion “give hope that the farmer may through increased per capita produc­ tion, attain the same standard of living as the industrial worker does with the large assortment of tools provided for him,” the article con­ cluded. m i Parasite Dodder May Be Killed by 2, 4-D S election of C lean Seed Also E ssential By W. J. DRYDEN Field dodder is an annual para­ sitic vine, growing on lespedeza, al­ falfa, clover .and various members of the dandelion family. It attaches itself to other plants and sends small growth into their tissue to ab­ sorb the sap. As preventive is easier than the cure, it is essential that only seed free from dodder be planted. Spots in fields should be eliminated. This Circle shows how dodder wraps itself around alfalfa to absorb tbe sap. is possible by the use of 2,4-D weed killer. While the 2,4-D also will kill lespedeza and other plants in the sprayed areas, the loss usually will prove negligible as the dodder usu­ ally will be confined to small scat­tered areas. The labor involved in cutting out dodder is excessive and it is almost impossible to remove all of the para­ site by this method. Infested fields may be planted to grain or com for several years. These crops are not attacked, but care should be taken that the dodder does not continue growing on weeds in the field. HEW SUPERIOR LETTUCE h** Slobolt lettuce, developed by the USDA, is available for the first time to the gardener. Non-heading, long­ standing Slobolt produces wrinkled, frilled, light green leaves. Plants are of moderate size. If the plants are set 10 to 12 inches apart and only basal leaves used, Slobolt lettuce may be harvested over a period of several weeks. Slo- bolt makes a good fall crop from midsummer plantings. It produces usable leaves three weeks longer than many well-known commercial leaf lettuce varieties. It receives its name because it is slow to “bolt” seed stems in warm weather. Herds and Flosks For Greater Profit Even up the size of litters. A sow will take strange pigs before hers are two days old. Make changes when pigs are ready to suck. Sprinkle the strangers with a weak solution of stock dip. Dock all lambs and castrate all buck lambs at one to three weeks. Combine the two operations—castrate first, then dock. Use a reliable disinfectant on wounds. Bloodless docking and cas­ tration can be done with instruments made especially for the purpose. Dehorn calves when young (under 10 days) with a chemical dehorner that won’t rub off on the udder or flanks of the cow. A chemical de­ horner works best on young calves, and calves ■ are easier to handle when young. To help prevent damp litter in brooding and laying houses, mix hy­ drated lime in the litter at the rate of one pound to eight square feet of floor space. Hydrated lime, re­ member—not ground limestone. T reat Egg R ight to K eep in Cold S torage Treating an egg right means stor­ ing it clean, covered and cold, say University of Nebraska specialists. Eggs when clean should be stored in a covered bowl or pan, away from strong-smelling foods. Without a cover, eggs lose moisture and are likely to absorb ;-pdors. When kept in a cold place, even for part of a day, they stay good longer. Stored at- room temperatures, eggs may lose much quality in three days.

Julia con­ fides her troubles to Dave Patterson, an old family friend who has always secretly loved her. Jill and Spang go to a dance and Jill discovers she is in love but is nettled when Spang ap­ parently doesn’t return her feeling. She acts gay. however, to conceal her own love from him. CHAPTER V Then abruptly Spang cleared his throat. “I’ve got something to tell your mother,” he said, “and I’m worried whether I should tell her or not. Maybe you’ll know what I should do.” “You mean — something about me?” He broke off a head of goldenrod and examined the small sulphur- colored blossoms minutely. “No, sot about you. You suit me fine. Pve had a grand time, and I hope you’ll let me come back again. If I’m not shipped out. No, it’s about Ric.” “I suppose he’s in some sort of trouble? That happens,” she said stiffly. "Ric and I were pretty good friends at college,” Spang went on. “We lived in the same house, and though I finished two years before tie did, we wrote now and then and M in touch. Then tills war came along, and I got in early and got Tiy commission, and of course Ric nas an enlisted man, so that com­ plicated things. But I’ve managed to see him occasionally.” “And you don’t like what he’s do­ ing? Is he ducking out of things, oreaking regulations, that sort of thing?” “I don’t know about his service record. But the last time we were In town I saw him with a woman. They were both drinking, and though Ric wasn’t tight, exactly, he was talking too loud. He wanted tne to meet her.’! “Did he salaam properly before the shoulder-bars and the beautiful tvhip-cord breeches?” Jill spoke more bitterly than she knew be­ cause her heart was hurting from ‘VI Spang laid the gold-spangled leaf on top of her head. “Don’t be nasty, gal, Can I help it if this army is all stiffened up with military cour­ tesy and stuff? I still like Ric. That’s why I didn’t like what I was seeing. She’s older than he is, she’s been divorced, her first husband was an officer who got kicked down­ stairs after Pearl Harbor. She’s liv­ ing there in the hotel, dnd a ser­ geant I know pretty well told me that Ric was seeing a lot of her. She’s a handsome wench, one of those silver blondes with nice skin and a helpless look—you know the type. I have a feeling your mother wouldn’t like it, but still I hate to say anything.” “But surely Ric couldn't get se­ rious about a woman like that?” "I don’t know—” Ric Provides a '* Tleiv Worry “You do know, Spang, more than you’re telling me! I don’t have to be protected from the truth, even if it isn’t pleasant.” “No, I really don’t know anything definite, Jill. I’m just worried, that’s all, and since I’ve met your mother and seen the sort of home Ric has, it bothers me. It may be just another episode. Ric had a few when we were together,” “The trouble is,” Jill said, "Moth­ er spoiled tRic terribly. My father didn’t come back, and I think she needed somebody to lavish all that love upon, somebody to keep her heart from breaking. I was just a good egg, somebody she could talk to, but Ric got her deep affection. And anything he does that’s off­ color would hurt her frightfully.-I’d hate to tell her. I’ll decide whether I oiigiit to, after you’re gone, Xou couldn’t do anything about Il any­ way, could you?” “No, I couldn’t do anything about it. Ric’s a man, he’d resent any interference from me. He’d have a right to resent it. Of course he may be shipped out, and that will put an. end to the affair.” “Then it is an affair?” “Jill, I’ve told you all I know. I’ve heard her discussed in various places and heard the things other men say about her, that’s aU. I’ve heard men speak of her when they were talking without inhibitions. And Ric is pretty young—” “Twenty-seven isn’t so young. He’s old enough to have a little sense,” Jill said angrily. They walked down the lane, say­ ing little after that. He isn’t going to say anything, maybe he doesn’t care at all, Jill was thinking, with the painful knot made of anger and tears growing hard and tight in her throat. Spang talked of the future, pres­ ently, but of a future in which she had no part—or any other woman, if that could be caUed a comfort. He said, “A month from now I’ll ••BY ■•/■ JT-zfytt ■ Hefijeuic "ffullvt ~ be looking back on this week-end, thinking of the wonderful time I’ve had—” And trying,” Jill asked, her head tilted a little, “to remember how I look?” He bent his head, and his eyes moved over her slowly and soberly. “I won’t have to try. Hair like a new five-inch sheU and a sassy nose—” “Disposition like T.N.T.,” Jill supplied, keeping to the airy mood, “hair-trigger set. If things don’t happen when I want them to, I ex­ plode aU over the place.” “No,” Spang said quietly, “you aren’t like that. When you go up against a thing you reaUy want, you wait for it quietly, with considerable determination." “Grim. Very grim!” “Have you found anything yet that you really wanted and didn’t get? Something you really wanted, I mean—not a whim.” Jill set her teeth. Was he trying her, trying to get past the rigid control of her chin and her care- *!•» '9 1 Julia’s face changed, paled and grew taut. “What a ridiculous sug­ gestion,” she said stiffly. ful eyelids? “When I find it I’ll get it—some way, some time!” “Desperate, eh?” Spang laughed a little. But the laugh was shaken, and so was the pressure of his hand on her elbow uncertain. “Your eyes don’t give you away as a desperate female, at all.” “How do they look? Inane, I suppose?” “Oh, sort of sweet—and melting. I think you’ll find ways to get what you want without any fight.” So her eyes were melting! But they were melting, they were prac­ tically dissolving, and if she talked any more she’d be crying like a fool, because she was in love and men were so unbearably stupid! She said coolly, “I’ve trained my eyes to lie very politely. Let’s hur­ ry, shall we? I smell the roast, and Mamie gets peevish if dinner waits on Sunday. She belongs to the Holi­ ness Church and they have serv­ ices in the afternoon.” After that the day wore on, her grandfather telling over again in­ terminably the story of how Buz­ zard’s Hill had been a military hos­ pital in the Civil war, Julia trying fo efface herself and maneuver John I. away so that Jill and Spang could be alone. Sweet of Dooley, Jill thought, but all quite useless. Spang wasn’t in love with her. How could he be and keep so carefully silent about it? Thank heaven, when she put him on the bus at dusk, she hadn’t let herself go, hadn’t been, careless enough to let him see how utterly lost she was! he said good-by, and she had prom­ ised to come down to the field again as soon as she could, and then he had given her a gay little salute and climbed aboard and been rushed away out of her sight. A Tcdk Betiveen Julia and Jill The heat settled, drowsy and en­ ervating as it pressed upon the world in August, and Jill grew a little wan. She tried gallantly to fit herself into the quiet life of Buzzard’s Hill. She pretended an excited interest in the new pigs, though privately she thought the wriggling, hairless little things revolting, and thought what an amazing thing mother-love must be, that it could believe any new creation lovely. She even put in a warm morning digging in the garden that was go­ ing sadly to weeds since Poster’s son had gone off to the army. At noon she went back to the house, soaked in perspiration, a good man­icure a sad ruin, and every mus­ cle screaming weariness from the unaccustomed activity. After that strenuous adventure she took a hot shower and flung herself on the bed, too utterly tired to go down to lunch. Julia found her there and looked at her shrewdly. “You’re taking this the hard way, Jill. I’ve brought you some cold milk. Drink it and go to sleep. You’re being very gallant, but try to be reasonable about it.” “I have to do something, Dooley. Life has to be for something or about something. Mine isn’t. It’s just a purposeless existence, just using up days. And there are so many of them, and they’re so long!” Julia dropped into a chair. She wore her heavy jeans, and she was warm and weary, too. “I know. You haven’t had to learn yet how long years can be, Jill. I hope you never will.” “How did you bear it, Dooley, that last war? You aren’t changed, you aren’t old. You haven't any lines in your face.” “I had two children to take care of. And I had hope.” “And I,” Jill said sadly, over the rim of the glass, “haven’t anything at all!” “It turned out that way, did it? I didn’t want to ask any questions.” “It turned out that I fell in love so deeply I was practically shame­ less about it. And to all appear­ ances, Spang didn’t. He liked my eyes, he thought you were a hand­ some woman, he said he had a good time, and then he talked about the job he had to do and hoped he’d see me, again. If that’s love, Dooley, what kind is it?” “Perhaps the bravest Kind of all| Jill. The kind a man keeps to him­ self because he knows he has noth­ ing to offer a woman, nothing but uncertainty and dread and grief.” “Even those are better than noth­ ing at all! You wouldn’t know, Doo­ ley, how awful nothing can be. Emptiness! Time going on. Oh, I know I’m talking like an idiot. I told you I hadn’t any shame at all. Dooley, I want to go down to the field pretty soon. I want some new knockout clothes and one of those feather hair cuts and to have my eyebrows touched up. Why did I have to get these ferocious eye­ brows, Dooley, when yours are so delicate? You’re a McFarlane1 too.” “There were dark McFarlanes and red McFarlanes. I got a Uttle from both strains. Your father was almost a blond, His eyes were “Blue eyes would be horrible with my hair. I could see Ric if I went down to the field, Dooley. That is, if he isn’t shipped out somewhere. He won’t get a furlough, you blow, for ages.” “Do you think you really want to go, Jill? You know there is such a thing as being too eager.” “Oh, Dooley, they buried all that stuff with Augusta J. Evans! A nice girl would stick quietly at home to be wooed and won, but try stick­ ing and see what it gets you, how beautifully you’re stuck! I have to see Spang again before they send him off to Africa or some other hideous spot, or I’ll curl up and die! And I haven’t an inhibition in the world, but I do have sense. Nobody knows what a fool I am but you, Dooley. You’ve been through this waiting business. You know how it hurts.” Jill Offers A Suggestion “Yes, I know.” Julia took the empty glass, pushed Jill’s damp hair back and patted her casually. “By the way, Dave just telephoned. He has bought a new saddle mare, and he thought you might like to try her out Sunday. He’s going to bring her over.” “Did you enlist Dave to divert my mind, Dooley? Don’t you know that I bore Dave stiff?” “Please give me credit for a little sense, Jill. I haven’t discussed your personal affairs with Dave. And I don’t like riding. .I can’t risk be­ ing lame and stiff, with all I have to do here.” “Why don’t you fall in love with Dave?” she asked abruptly. “It would simplify everything.” M ia’s face changed, paled and grew taut. “What a rit'lculous sug- gestion!” she said stiffly. “What’s ridiculous about it? Dave’s been in love with you for centuries—don’t tell me you didn’t know it! You must be blind. Even Grandfather suspects it. I observe his sly look whenever Dave comes around. He likes Dave, he’d be ter­ ribly pleased, I think.” Julia’s frozen expression did not change except that pain crept into her face, darkening her eyes, mak­ ing her mouth a wan line. “Dave is a gentleman,” she said, evenly. “He would not fall in love with an­ other man's wife." Jill puckered her brows. “But, Dooley—twenty-five years! Just be­ cause Grandfather couldn’t find any grave when he went over there— maybe my father is the Unknown Soldier. When you took us to Wash­ ington I pretended that he was ly­ ing there. I felt beautiful about it. It could be true, you know.” “We won’t talk about it any more,” said Julia, severely. “And please put ideas like that out of your head!” (TO BE CONTINUED) - W if e ■"■i. r , 7 , mset * *»—» -J!*** * •* A?**? &Wm f m B i A STOP BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD . . . At this tiny grave on the lonely prairie near Elrod, S.

Every Memorial Day since 1888 a passenger train has come to an unscheduled stop on the lonely prairie near Elrod, S. D., and while passengers wait and wonder, members of the train crew visit a tiny grave along the right-of-way. There, a moment of silence is observed, a few brief prayers are said and flowers are laid on the grave. The trainmen return to their train and the trip is re­ sumed. When curious passengers ask about the stop, they learn the story ■ M M M ^ of how a railroad man’s sympa- % M J * cS> <£?

Middle age is that perjod of a man’s life when he would rather not have a good time than to have to .get over one. ■ railIroaJing IeJ to a friendship that has been memo­ rialized for 58 years even though both the railroad man and the small boy died years ago. The man’s name was William F. Chambers, better known as “Big Bill” Chambers, and the small boy is known only as “The Little Fel­ low.” Back in 1888, Big Bill was a brakeman on the train hauling track ballast for repair work under way in the area. “The Little Fel­ low” was the 12-year-old son of the couple who had charge of the kitchen and mess cars for the con­ struction gang. Every day when Bill’s train pulled into the railroad camp, the boy ran to meet him and Chambers would spend hours telling bim tales of the big cities and of railroading. Then, in Au- 111 and died. He was buried there along the right-of-way and Bill promised the boy’s parents he would take care of the grave until they were able to return and remove the body. They never returned, but Cham­ bers' kept his promise even when he became freight conductor and later passenger conductor. Section crews helped him by keeping the grass and weeds away from the spot. Someone put up a boulder to mark the grave. Eventually Bill reached retire­ ment age; yet he still visited the grave regularly on Memorial Day as long as he was able. Others took up the tagk for him and continued the practice even after his death in 1939. Vince J. Ford, conductor, mar­ ried Chambers’ daughter. Every Memorial Day Ford has taken Chambers’ place, although he, too, now is retired. The flowers are sent by his wife and Mrs. Lydia Benson, another daughter of Chambers, both of whom reside at Redfield, S. D. Together with the train crews, these people have kept alive the friendship of “Big Bill” and “The Little Fellow.” For 58 years the Chicago and North Western’s train 106 has stopped on the prairie near Elrod, as it will again this year. Passen­ gers have waited and wondered. They have heard the story and seen the ceremony. Not once has a pro­ test been heard.

Shell, who first saw the light of day during the great blizzard of ’88, has a constant reminder of that tragic storm. For that’s what her initials stand for: “Eighteen Eighty Eight Ann.” No doctors could reach her parents’ home to be present at her birth. Her father, overjoyed that both mother and daughter sur­ vived, naged her for the event. A W M m AIRPORT CHATTER For the first time since 1934, Sioux Falls, S.

Mrs. Sarah Lunsford of Cobbs county, Georgia, utilizes her Piper Cub for a school bus. Because the roads are “ter­ rible,” the school bus leaves too early and the family car “went out of commission anyway,” Mrs. Luns­ ford last faU started flying her two children five miles to the school- house. The plan worked out so suc­ cessfully that she decided to con­ tinue it indefinitely. “The children don’t even get a thriU out of it any more,” their mother admits. • « • AIRPORTS ARE QUIETER The noise nuisance from low-flying aircraft has been reduced substan­ tially in many parts of the country, T. P. Wright, Civil Aeronautics ad­ ministration head, reports in review­ ing progress of the anti-noise cam­ paign. Much of the annoyance can be avoided by changing the traffic pat­ terns around airports and by pilot cooperation in using suitable power and propeller-pitch settings, Wright declares. In many cases the traffic pattern has been altered to provide that planes travel over water, indus­ trial districts or wastelands rather than over residential areas. The campaign, he reports, has re­ sulted in a substantial drop in the number of complaints against noisy airplanes. IT r k L “ S IM BSr' TROOP CARRIER . . .

SAFETY RECORD More than two-thirds of the sched­ uled international airlines, which operated in all parts of the world, had a record of “absolute safety” in 1946, International Air Transport association reports. Sixty of the member airlines flew a total of 8,346,000,000 passengers miles dur­ ing the year. The scheduled airlines reported 33 fatal accidents, result­ ing in 298 casualties, which would equal 28,314,000 miles per passenger fatality. Forty-two of Uie airlines had no fatal accidents.

Jiriaiisat Uncle Sam Says Why Is It Coming? Many observers are of opinion .now that the nation may expect a considerable business recession by August or September. It is expected that this recession will be reason­ ably severe and might last for six months. Some expect it to bring bankruptcy to a good many busi­ nesses that are weak financially, ,create unemployment, ,and maybe interrupt production seriously. President Truman is so much alarmed that he is asking industry ito reduce prices of commodities m order to help cushion the expected recession. Fears are that it might develop into a real depression. In view of our huge national debt and the fact that we must maintain a high national income, this prospect is rather serious. Naturally, we are asking ourselves: “Why must it come?” Washington Fable It is on the way because every­ thing is entirely too high. Homes are too high, manufactured goods are too high, food is too high— everything is too high. People are refusing to pay the prices. They are going to continue to refuse until something is done about it. Now, why do not the industrialists just immediately lower prices until there would be no talk of de­ pression? That’s impossible. Prices are reg­ ulated by costs. In manufacturing a price is charged that covers the cost. Big item in cost is usually labor, which averages 50 or 60 or 70%, and as much as 85%, of a fin­ ished article. Now the fable. When the war was over the President’s Secretary of Commerce, Mr. Henry Wallace, recommended that in the automobile industry wages could gc up 30%, without increasing the prices of automobiles at all. Spiral Again If that could have happened in the automobile industry, of course, it could have happened also in many other industries. Labor was encour­ aged to demand a 30% boost, which they were told should bring no price increases. The facts, however, were on the other side of the fence. After an 18% cent increase was granted auto workers, and even before OPA died, automobile prices had to be increased an average of 22%. Other industries granted similar raises and prices went on moving upward. Labor soon realized that it had lost all its gains in the higher costs of living. When we get far enough from the present problems to size them up more accurately and when a correct history is finally written, it will probably be explained that wage boosts in the fall and winter of 1945-46, more than any other one thing, were responsible for the in­ flated prices that followed. This is what now threatens to make depres­ sion inevitable. If our government could have found in 1945 enough backbone for a firm stand against increases in wages and prices, urging instead a high productivity to get the nation back on its feet as quickly as pos­ sible, then the present feared de­pression would have been mere talk. But when the general inflation­ ary rise in wages and a correspond­ ing inflationary rise in prices came, all thinking people agreed that finally a depression would probably come. We may get back to a rea­ sonable level that way, but even yet w® could 'Vje a much better way, L—Tv* **lur >n will' outline next Uncle Sam Says Abraham Lincoln’s birthday should be a reminder to my nieces and nephews that they have the oppor­tunity to emancipate themselves from future insecurity by buying United States Savings Bonds regu­larly.

It is next to impossible to sow vegetable seed thinly enough so that the young plants do not crowd each other in the row when they come up. This is particu­ larly true when the seeds are very small. Carrot seedlings, for example, should be thinned to stand about an inch apart when two to three inches tall. Otherwise the roots cannot develop as they should. Radislies are of better shape. V too, if the plants are thinned to stand about an inch apart while still tiny seedlings. Green onions can be thin­ ned by pulling and using the extra spears for the table when they come Up too quickly. Beet seed should be planted at leact 1% to 2 inches apart for each little pel­ let usually contains two to four seeds. When the plants aro four to five inchss tall, every other one can be pulled for greens. If this is done at intervals while tops and roots are small, spaea will gradually be left for some of the roots to reach good size. Sowing leaf lettuce seed sparsely helps to avoid the extra work of Iat .r thinning. Even when the stand is fair­ ly thick, instead of thinning the plant: ones to grow. If you like to use each lettuce plant intact, thin to about two inches apart when small. Then, as they become large enough to use, pull up alternate plants and leave the others to grow. Bush beans should be planted two to four inches apart and just enough seed­ lings removed from the row so that the remaining ones are four to five inches apart. Beans usually produce more abundantly when the plants do -..'t crowd each other. Turnips usually do better and grow more rapidly to table size if given three or four inches in which to spread. It is important that turnips grow to eat­ ing sire quickly to avoid being tough and fibrous.
