This was a dark Christmas for the bereaved par­ ents, who have the sympathy of a host of friends. a good moral life, but that isn’t sal­ vation. It won’t save one’s soul. Never. The moral man must re­ pent and be bom again just as any sinner. He may not have much to repent of, but he must be bom frym above, or he cannot see the kingdom of heaven. When we compare numbers we are conscious that few people live as high morally and spiritually as they could and should. They seem content to stay in the low­ lands. The enemy of their souls keeps them groping in the dust, or dwelling in lowlands, whereas God would have them climb and rise to the highlands "where the air is pure etherial.” Somehow the average person never seems to realize his wonderful privilege in the Lord. It is true we are living in a fallen, sinful, benighied world and we are all surrounded by the powers of wickedness and dark­ ness, yet our blessed Lord has made the plan of salvation so com­ plete and wonderful that we may rise far above our surroundings, morally and spiritually, and know that our souls are "dwelling on the mountain.” Glory to God. We only rise' from the lowlands of the evil, wicked world by giv­ ing ourselves entirely unto God, letting Him save us from all sin and sanctify us wholly, and then live adeep prayer life. Onlythose who are cleansed and purified in heart, mind, soul and spirit, and dwell much at the feet of Jesus in prayer, worship; obedience and absolute reverence can rise to great moral and Spiritual heights. However, it is the privilege of ee- erv one. We are made to wonder why so many professed Christ­ ians seem content to dwell in the iowlands, and grope in the fogs and wander in the slough of doubt and despond, and mix and mingle with the sinful, and par­ take of their sins, when God has arranged it so they can rise and soar high in His will and have a great and wonderful experience in their lives and souls.

Your neighbor Record. reads The What John Wore John Jones, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Jones, of Pleasant Villa, be­ came the bridegroom of Miss Eli­ zabeth Smith at high nooh today. The ceremony took place at the ho Se of the groom’s parents. Mr. Jones was attended by Mr. Brown as groomsman. The groom was the cynosure of all eyes. Blushing prettily he replied to the questions of the clergyman in low tones, but firm. He was charmingly clad in a three-piece suit, consisting of coat, vest, and trousers. The coat of dark material was draped about his shoulders and tastefully gath ered under the arms. The pretty story was current among the wed­ ding guests that the coat was the same worn by his father and his grandfather on their wedding days, The vest was sleeveless and met in front. It was gracefully fash ioned with pockets and the back held together with a strap and buckle. Conspicuous on the front of the vest was the groom’s favor­ ite piece of jewelrv, a fraternity pin, the bride’s gift to the groom, which flashed brilliantly and gave the needed touch to a costome in perject taste and harmonv. The groom’s pants were of dark worsted and fell from the waist in a straight line almost to the door. The severe simplicity of the garment was relieved by the. right pantalette, which was caught up about four inches by a garter, worn underneath, revealing just the artistic glimpse of brown sox above the genuine leather shoes, laced with strings of the same &ol- or. The effect was chic. Beneath the vest the groom wore blue galluses, attached fore and aft to Ihe trousers and pass­ ing in a graceful curve over each shoulder. This pretty and useful part of the costume would have yassed unnoticed had not the groom muffed the ring wheu the groomsman passed it to him. When h«_ stooped to reaover the errant circlet, the blue of his gal­ luses were prettily revealed. His neck was encircled with a collar, characterized by a delicate pearl tint of old-fashioned celluloid, and around the collar was a cra­ vat, loosely knitted, exposing a collar button of bright metal. The cravat extended up and down un­ der the left ear with the studied carelessness which marks supreme artistry in dress. Mr. Brown’s costume was Sfntially like the groom’s and as the two stood at the altar a hush of admiration enveloped the au­ dience at the complete harmony. Actually, one could hardlp have told one from the other, had it not been for a patch of court plas­ ter worn by the groom over the nick in his chin made by a safety razor. Neither Mr. BrownnorMr. Jones wore a hat at the ceremony. As Miss Elizabeth Smith led the groom from the alter, it was not­ ed that she wore the conventional veil and orange blossoms.—Ex. Cecil Carter Cecil Carter, 24, died at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Carter, Mocksville, R. 3, on Dec. 23rd.

Jury Fiasco :• Down in Harnett County recently •t jury voted to free a minister who had been charged with a crime against a-young girl. Previous to the trial, .the minister had confessed his guilt !yy^-sTi.vd he expected.to receive a.long prison term. And yet, despite" all-of the incriminating evidence brought out in the case, the jury decided that he should be allowed to go scot free. Wlierenpon Judge Henry Stevens told the jury that “Justice has been outraged,” and be gave the twelve Uirors a tongue-lashing which they probably never will forget. In sub­ stance. he said that- any group of in­ dividuals as dumb as they showed themselves to be, had no business serving as jurors. The minister then was taken into custody on a bench warrant and was placed in jail again. No question but that this was a cross miscarriage of justice. And it causes us to Tepeat a statement which we have made on several previous oc­ casions: We’d much rather trust our fate to three judges on the bench than to any set of jurors we ever have seen. To our way of thinking, the jury sys­ tem is entirely out of date. And the same, thing may be said about many other things connected with our court ■ -rocedure.—The State.

Young animals and poorly-nour­ ished old animals suffer most from lice. The winter season is the time lice are bad on cattle. The louse popula­ tion- builds up then. Dr. Harold Gunderson, extension entomologist at Iowa State college, says one louse unchecked in fall means 1,000 the following March. For lice control on cattle, DDT is being used successfully. Early in fall, before cold weather arrives, it is mixed with water and sprayed on the animals. After cold weather comes, a DDT dust is recommended. Farmers are being advised to use a dust containing 10 per cent DDT. Some of the powdered louse killers on the market contain less than 10 per cent DDT, but have other ef­fective insecticides combined with the DDT. The rotenone dusts recommended for cattle grub control can be used for lice control. Usually they are diluted for lice, to cover greater area and reduce the cost. For in­ stance, one pound of a cattle grub dust containing 1% per cent rote­ none can be mixed with two pounds of flour to make an effective louse killer. World's Largest Potato Yard Found in Chicago The world’s largest potato yard is located — not in Idaho, nor in Maine —but in the largest city near the geographical center of the nation— Chicago. In the Wood street yards of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad. an average of 20,000 carloads of po­ tatoes are handled annually. Many thousands of tons of other vegeta­ bles also pass through this yard. The yard is the central market­ ing point for potatoes, which come in from virtually every state in the union. Dealers and brokers assem­ ble in the yard each day before dawn to buy, sell or reconsign an average of 36,000 bushels daily The Wood street yard is a far cry from the wooden platform which scived as a terminal years ago. Milk Testing Traced To Michigan Fanners By Louis Sellers Forty years ago a few progressive dairy farmers in Michigan organ­ ized the first cow-testing association in the United States. They wanted to improve the profitableness of their herds. They hired a testei Io weigh Part of the increase in produc­ tion can be credited to progres­ sive Michigan dairy farmers. and test the milk of each cow and to keep a record of her feed cost and income. They wanted that informa­ tion so they could cull the low pro­ ducers from their herds and feed the rest more economically. In the first four years of their pio­ neer effort, these Michigan farmers doubled the average profit per cow. Since then thousands of other dairy farmers have followed their exam, pie with equally striking results.

Trainees' Morals guarded Jealously UMT Stresses Integration Of Youthful Personalities By BAUKHAGE Nem Analyst and Commentator. (In this, the third of a series on universal military training, further differestcet between this system and previous training methods are discussed.) WASHINGTON.—Aside from the loss of his freedom, which I discussed in; a previous column, the young men called upon for military training object to having their schooling interrupted or the securing of a job postponed. The national security training act would answer those objections this way: (a): The trainee gets educational and vocational advantages under UMT which in many cases he would not otherwise have; and (b): He literally earns while he learns. & Let me quote from the November issue of the Army Information Di­ gest: “Each trainee during the first phase (and if he elects to take a sec­ ond six months) would receive a $30 cash allow­ ance monthly. If he is the chief family support, he would qualify for a dependency allowance which would be paid wholly by the government. This allowance would be $50 a month for one depend­ ent and $65 a month for two or more dependents. During initial training, the trainee would be entitled to benefits of the soldiers’ and sailors’ civil relief act of 1940 and to the death and dis­ ability benefits furnished civilian employees of the government. , As to the educational factor, the report of the sub-committee on edu­ cation, a division of the UMT civil­ ian advisory committee which vis­ its the Fort Knox experimental unit regularly, set forth the principle that UMT should be so flexible “that a man could return to school or to his civilian occupation without a loss of considerable time; and there­ fore, it is more advantageous to maintain the six-month period of initial training with a minimum of education than to prolong this pe­ riod of training and permit inclu­ sion of a comprehensive educational program.” To ensure that the trainee does not lose sight of his life objec­ tive, a well-planned counselling program is recommended. It would be conducted by an edu­ cational staff including a trained psychologist. The six-month training period where the accent is on the military is by no means ALL military. Bay­ onet practice and “dirty fighting” have been eliminated, and out of the entire six months only 880 hours are devoted to actual training, the rest to “processing and orientation.” There is a once-a-week lecture on citizenship and morality, and gen­ eral information is included in the regular troop information period. In Baubhage W A Apprentice training in plastics and other vocations are some of the extra duty activities offered by UMT experimental unit at Fort Knox. the experimental unit at Fort Knox, says the Army Information Digest: “It is not uncommon for the officer of the day, while inspecting a rifle at daily guard mount to ask the trainee: 4Who is the secretary of war?’ or 4Who heads our diplomatic mission to Moscow?’ ” The relationship between trainer and trainee, according to the Digest, is not that of ser­ geant and recruit, but rather of instructor and pupil. Nearly 50 per cent of the men at Fort Knox participate in the off- duty educational program, and some have completed graduation from high school by this route. According to the Digest report made in June, “the barracks smell” of profanity and obscenity does not exist. Without in any way sac­ rificing virility, the Digest claims that “a new way of looking at things has been created.” Sex has its place in instruction. The trainee gets a healthy understanding of the nor­ mal place of sex in raising a fam­ ily, is taught that the only sure way to avoid venereal disease is contin­ ence. Plenty of entertainment is provided at Fort Knox, includ­ ing a canteen where soft drinks and snacks are available, but no alcoholic beverages are sold. So much for the first six months. After that period, there are a num­ ber of options which the trainee can exercise. He can remain for an addi­ tional six months’ training in the national security training corps; he can enlist in the armed services, the national guard, or the enlisted reserve corps with assignment to an organized unit; he can enter one of the service academies; take special­ ist or technical work at an 'ap­ proved college, or exercise other alternatives. For those who cannot accept any of the above-named options, there’is enlistment in the enlisted reserve corps for six years, with active duty requirements of not more than 30 days a year. The first experimental unit at Fort Knox has just about completed the second cycle of its training, the first cycle having ended in July. m UMT program centers on a se­ lective schedule of instructive military training. ' Since last January, a civilian ad­ visory committee of 34 men and women has served continuously, vis­ iting the unit individually and in groups. They have observed the trainees at work, at play, on leave in and around Louisville. This committee, by the way, represents a fair cross-section of the parents, educators, religi­ ous leaders, newspapermen and public officials whose interest, either personal, professional or patriotic, makes universal training important to them. This committee says that as a re­ sult of this year of training the boys have benefitted by definite spiritual and moral training, self-expression through individual hobbies, training for leadership, and respect for au­ thority and the rights of others, as well as gaining military skills which are taught under “discipline, not regimentation.” As one man from Louisville put it to me: "It’s an entirely different thing from ordinary G.I. experiences. The boys themselves are the best wit­nesses.”* * * According to the 20th Century fund, cotton supplies more than three-fourths of all fiber consumption in the United States.

NEWS REVIEW London Meet Dissolves: Inflation Bill Defeated The-lethargic, uninspired ending < - of the Big Four foreign ministers’ conference in London was reminis­ cent of nothing so much as the rather dreary business of tossing out the Christmas tree after the holidays. There was a small amount of nos­ talgia and regret expressed over the abrupt finish of the unsuccessful dis­ cussions, but there was also a thinly veiled feeling that perhaps, after all, it was a good thing the affair was over. As seen dimly through clouds of futility and frustration, what the wind-up of the German and Aus­ trian peace treaty talks amounted to was this: The western powers had failed utterly to reach any kind of agreement with Russia on the fate of Germany, and the failure leaves Europe more firmly divided than at any time since the war ended. Although the delegates were un­ able to agree on any single issue on their agenda, the point upon which the conference balloon burst was the problem of German reparations. To the inevitable question, 4lWhat now?” diplomatic authorities were answering with a prediction that the United States, Great Britain and France would begin negotiations soon among themselves concerning the unification of western Germany. Russia would be out of it, and there was no prospect of another four- power meeting in 1948 or in any other year. CONGRESS: iStraw Man’ Of the two pressing reasons why President Truman called congress into special session in November, one had been disposed of but the other kept hanging around like an evil spirit as the year drew to a close. The senate and house had voted strongly in favor of authorizing up to 597 million dollars for emergency winter relief for France, Italy, Aus­ tria and China, but no such accord was displayed in dealing with the problem of inflation at home. Rejecting President Truman’s 10- point proposal for fighting inflation by imposing wage and price con­ trols and selective rationing, house Republicans offered an anti-inflation bill based upon voluntary agree­ ments for price reductions. With a two-thirds vote needed for passage, the Republican measure went down to defeat 202 to 188. The house split almost exactly along party lines over the bill, not one Democrat breaking ranks to vote in favor of it. “The President has asked for bread and you have given him a stone,” said Rep. Brent Spence (Dem., Ky.) in summing up the de­ bate for the Democrats. Rep, A. S. (Mike) Monroney (Dem., Okla.) dusted off another bromide when he charged the GOP majority with "setting up a straw man to combat the menace of inflation.” That was the swan song for any anti-inflation legislation during the special session. Although the senate was preparing to act on the house- killed bill, there appeared to be little likelihood that the Republicans would be able to put through their proposals. Thrift Plan Meanwhile, although congress had given its approval to the propo­ sition that interim relief should be rushed to Europe and China, the emergency aid issue continued to send forth echoes. This time the struggle arose over the actual bill to appropriate the 597 million dollars previously ap­ proved by congress. The house ap­ propriations committee, showing the same cutting ways it had ex­ hibited earlier in the year toward budget requests, knocked 88 million dollars off the original figure in pre­ paring the bill for floor action. Thus, the bill carried only 509 mil­ lion for winter relief. The appro­ priations committee, headed by Rep. John Taber (Rep., N. Y.), said the cut was represented by items which would have been used by France and Italy for payment of interest on their foreign debts and for making payments on commer­ cial accounts. Aroused at the Republican dis­ play of economy, Democrats la­ belled the committee’s action as an “undercover” attempt to hamstring the aid program. They served no­ tice that they would attempt to re. store the cut. TRAINING: In Driving If a training course in automobile driving were made a requirement in the curriculum of every high school traffic deaths could be re­ duced by 5,000 to 10,000 a year, ac­ cording to Dr. Wayne Hughes, direc­ tor of National Safety council’s col­ lege and school division. A safety council survey made among Cleveland high schools be­ tween 1939 and 1941 showed that ef­ fectual driver training reduced traf­ fic accidents by 50 per cent, the council said. “It is our firm belief that if ev­ ery high school in the nation would put into effect such a course we would see miracles within five years,” Dr. Hughes asserted. Officials pointed out that statistics for 1946 proved that mile for mile the 15-24 age group was a third more dangerous behind the wheel than any other comparable segment of the population. That group account­ ed for 33.8 per cent of the nation’s fatalities in 1946. At present only 10 per cent of the 25,000 high schools in the U. S. have what the council regards as ade­ quate driver training courses. And only a part of the schools conduct tag such courses have actual auto­ mobiles in operation. Guard Strength Up Members of the U. S. national guard totaled 201,041 on November 30, 1947, a strength larger than that of the prewar national guard in any year except 1940, according to an announcement by Maj. Gen. Ken­ neth F. Cramer. Projected strength of the national guard on June 30, 1948, is 271,000 men, 250,000 of whom will be in approximately 4,500 army units and 21,000 in 365 air units, he said. BEAUTIFUL SPRING \ Inflation to Burst into Bloom Where price inflation is concerned there is no such thing as a last word. More words, more gloomy predictions always follow. Latest verbal foreboding by pri­ vate and government forecasters holds that next April and May will mark a probable crisis peak in the continuing upward trend of retail and wholesale prices. Flat predictions that meat and some other food prices are likely to soar as winter ends have been made by political officials and confirmed by government and other econo­ mists. Experts in retail dry goods prices are saying that the shelves emptied by the Christmas buying rush will be restocked with goods that will be priced much higher. The goods were being bought in the garment trade centers at wholesale prices nearly equal to last spring’s retail prices. Another factor boosting the infla­ tion bubble is expected to be the peak ta foreign demand for food and other items ta Europe scheduled to come as winter bows out. The construction industry, which hit an all-time high ta dollar values as the 1947 season ended, probably will begin the 1948 season under'an extraordinarily high demand pres­ sure for building materials. Another considerable influence is CIO President Philip Murray’s re­ cent declaration that unions in his organization will seek another round of wage increases, thus help­ ing to form another price bulge. Pressure for higher wages is ex­ pected to build up during the late winter months. In Washington political leaders of both Democratic and Republican persuasion are giving all these signs serious and concentrated study, and both sides are convinced that some­ thing must be done. It is not considered likely that these indications of further inflation will add up to a nation-wide bust next summer. Their biggest signi­ ficance is that they make up a pack­ age of .political dynamite which probably will explode with an earth- shaking impact sometime around the presidential election in Novem­ ber.

There were no bad auto wrecks, no violent deaths, no fire­ works displays and but few drun ken men in evidenee. Hon. Chas. A. Jonas, of Lin- colnton, who has been Republican National Committeeman for the past 20 years, has tendered his re­ signation. Mr. Jonas has made a fine committeeman, and his place will be hard to fill.

Hugh says they were a little over 5 hours on the trip. Hugh took between 35 and 40 of his friends and relatives for rides, whose ages ranged from two to 85. He was surprised when his two grandmothers said they would like to ride, Mrs. Julia Howard, 85, and Mrs. T. W. Sofley in her late 60’s. It was their first ride in a plane. Hugh says of all the peo­ ple he took for a ride he thinks Will T. Wrights enjoyed it most. Sgt. .and Mrs. Howard. left Wed­ nesday morning for Scott Field. Everyone is looking forward to their next furlough. Christmas Dinner The Lairds had their annual Christmas dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Brock in Far­ mington on Dec. 25th.

She burst into tears and running ovei laid her head on her mother’s lap. “That girl says,” she sobbed, “that there isn’t any Santa Claus.” “Well, now." her mother leaned down and gently bit the tip of her ear, “who’d ever believe a tale like that?” "You don’t believe her?” “Of course not." she smiled down into the worried blue eyes. “We know there’s a Santa Claus." “B-but she said Daddy was him.” “Oh, pooh. Sit down there on the floor and I’ll help you get your snow pants off." “We could ask Daddy," Kally sug­ gested. “Yes, wg could.” she had an in­ spiration.

"You mean we can peek?” “That’s just what we’ll do.” “George.” she turned to her hus­ band that evening after Kally had been put to bed, "our daughter has quite a problem.” "Women always have problems,” he smiled over his newspaper. “What is it this time?” “She knows about Santa.” “That’s too bad,” he pursed his lips, “but what can we do?" “Get someone to put her toys un­ der the tree while she watches.” “Sure,” he laid the paper down, “why couldn’t I do it?” “She heard that you are Santa.” He chuckled. “She isn’t the only woman in the family who thinks that.” "How about Bob Perkins?” she ignored his attempt at humor. “He’s the right build.” “Okay," he agreed, "I’ll arrange it in the morning." “Kally,” her mother shook her gently, “Santa is downstairs." “He is?” she sat up rubbing her eyes, “HE IS?!” “Okay," she slipped out of bed and into her slippers. In the early morn­ ing light she looked like a tiny blond elf. "Put on your robe.” CHE got it and took her mother’s hand. They crept down the stairs. Mommie held her back while she made sure Santa wasn’t smoking a cigar. He was placing gifts around the tree. She motioned her to look Kally peeked around the corner with big eyes. Then her head darted back. "Where’s daddy?” she asked in a stage whisper. They heard footsteps on the stairs. Daddy crept down. Kally peeked around the corner again. Santa was just coming out with an army bar­ racks bag over his shoulder. The three of them ran and hid behind the staircase As soon as the front door slammed Kally was up the steps like a shot. “Hey, Sweetheart,” Daddy called after her, "he left the toys in the living room." He stopped as he heard his wife’s laughter. “What's the matter with her?” he glared at her suspiciously. "Doesn’t she like the little tike?” "I’m afraid, dear, that you’ll nev­ er understand the feminine mind.” “What do you mean . . . where’s she going?” “To get her coat." “Her coat . . . why?” “She's going down the street to tel) the little girl that she’s all wet.

Grown on the hillsides of the coastal states from Maine to Texas and up the Mississippi valley to Missouri, holly is a pretty but slow- growing plant. Leaves are evergreen, the mar­ gins of which are provided with rather widely separated spines. Weak and close-grained, the wood is exceptionally white, making it highly desirable in the manufacture of woodenware. cabinets and inte­ rior finishing. As a result of scientific discover­ ies holly cuttings will take root quickly when they are treated with hormonelike substances. Christmas holly has been converted into potted plants. These plants can be set out as a permanent ornament for land­ scapes. Growth regulating substances— indole butyric acid and naphthalene acetamide—are on the market in liquid or powdered form under va­ rious trade names.

There’s nothing conipar able to the warmth of Christmas feeling. Second best perhaps is the feeling when you have the money to make dreams ccme true for you and your family. The most efficicn and sure way to build up a healthy backlog of savings is through your company’s Payroll Savings Plan (or buying United States Savings Bonds or your bank’s Bond-A-Montb Plan. Every extra savings bond you add to your bond holdings is one more powerful stride toward secu­ rity. The best Christmas gift you can give your family is to start a 19- year plan of automatic monthly bond buying.

She enjoyed her position in the advertising firm where she had risen from a clerk to copy writer in just two years. Since she left the house after Craig in the morning and returned before him at night, she never felt her working in­ terfered in any way with her house­ hold duties. But friends had spoiled everything with their snide remarks about “poor Janet still working,” and it was more than Craig could bear. “They think I can’t support you!” he’d storm at her, bat.-'thdv. more he pleaded the more adamant she had become. And now he was gone. The whole thing seemed so un­ important now. She glanced at the telephone, half-inclined to call him home, but her own recalcitrant na­ ture refused Io allow such a move. She turned on the radio instead and pretended the tears that welled in her eyes at the strains of “Silent Night” were merely tears of weari­ ness after the preparation of the office party that morning. Delib­ erately she opened the dresser draw­ er to put away last night’s ironing. Her souvenir box loomed temptingly before her. Lifting the cover, she stared at the items she had collect­ ed: Craig’s class ring, exchanged for a diamond after their gradua­ tion from college; a pressed orchid, one of those she had carried at her wedding; various cards, Christmas, anniversary, birthday, valentine.

George Washington crossed the Delaware and made a successful attack on the Hessian troops at Trenton, N. J., on Christmas Day, 1776. Oliver Cromweil-and his Puritan followers abolished Christmas Day in England, banning all feasting and fun. The ban lasted for seven years and was lifted when Charles II became king. The needy are considered in Hun­ gary at Christmastime, a levy being assessed against richer citizens so the poor may have sufficient to eat and drink. 'umW'- Surrounded by myth by primitive peoples, the mistletoe was taken over by Christians who also wove fanciful legends around it. In ancient mythology, the mis­ tletoe was the instrument of evil. The Druids of Britain believed the plant possessed healing powers. Oth­ er primitive people thought that mis­ tletoe found growing on oaks had magical powers. Taken over into Christian tradi­ tion, the mistletoe was dedicated to the Christ Child. Adopted as sym­ bolical of the healing power of our Lord, it was used to adorn the altars at Christmas. Monks of the monasteries called it-the “wood of the cross" and attributed supernat­ ural powers to it. The white berries were said to reflect the radiance caught from the guiding star when the Wise Men were led to the manger.

R4 Someone has said, “What a differ­ ence it makes in our manner of liv­ ing and doing things if we recognize the presence of God. Onr singing t ;i]ces on new life and our prayers new inspiration; our works are more than a mere labor of duty—they have force and power behind them. To foiget the presence of God, to regard Him as at a distance, is to detach our­ selves from the source of power, and our souls will droop.” We should constantly and always keep in mind that God is present. He sees ns, knows us, watches over and cares for us when we put our trust in Him entirely and seek to do His will at all times. We should realize that He is not a. God afar oft, but a God that is present here and now. He is present when the sun shines brightly, or when the clouds gather over us. He is present when things are quiet and peaceful, or when there is disquietude, strife, hatred and war­ fare, if we love and serve, worship and adore Him, and keep all bitter­ ness out of our hearts, minds, souls and spirits, by His marvelous and wondrous grace. Hallelujah! We should realize that He is pres­ ent when we go through hard and trying places as well as when we go along smoothly. If we walk in the Spirit, talk in the Spirit, sing and nray in the Spirit, work and toil in the Spirit, and live daily, hourly, and minute by minute in the Spirit, we Vnow He is ever present to lead, guide and direct us, shield and protect us. He is even present, regardless of how we live, though it may be to convict and lead to repentance, or to save the sinner or reclaim the backslider, or to sanctify the believer. Regardless of how wicked people may be, God is present. He may be. Jhere_tp pun­ ish. and certainly there to save, if men call upon Him out of broken ’■parts and eontrite spirits. But to the Christian we may recognize His iresence to own and to bless. Amen. When Jacob had his vision in the wilderness as he was fleeing from his brother Esau, he awoke and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place; and T knew it not.” (Gen. 28:16). Yes, the Lord is in every place, but often­ times we don’t realize it. However, we should recognize His presence ev­ erywhere as His children, ar.a talk to Him, obey, love and serve Him, -•s though we could see Him with our natural eyes. To truly recognize His "resence means that we are far more Pareful bow we live, what we say and do, where we go, how we deport our- •!'•Ives, and the way we serve and worship God, than otherwise it might be.

Latin and Algebra For years we’ve been contending that the study of Latin is largely a waste of time so far as the big B a- ioritv of high school students arc concerned. And we’ve been saying Ihe same thing about algebra, geom­ etry and trigonometry. Yes, we admit that Latin may give vou a better understanding of the Ensrlish language, but why not study a modern Latin language instead of :i dead one I The same roots are there. Or why not just study English more thoroughly? We also admit that algebra, geom­ etry and trigonometry are valuable studies for people who want to be­ come engineers. But what percent­ age of high school students are go- ing to be engineers? However, some­ one probably will come forward to point out that the average high school student doesn’t know what profession or business he plans to follow later on in life; therefore he should study algebra and the other subjects. Wliich means that yon would penalize 90 per cent of the students for the benefit of the 10 per cent who might decide to follow the engineering profession. That, doesn’t make sense. We admit further that Latin, al­ gebra, etc., are good for training the mind. But why not train the mind on something that ean be of practi­ cal use to the student? The reason we’re bringing up this subject again is because of an As­ sociated Press dispatch which was published in the newspapers a couple of weeks ago under the heading: “Algebra, Latin Total Loss to Many Students.” Seems that a commission is in ex­ istence which wants to revamp the nation’s secondary-school curricula: The commission doesn’t think very much of dead languages or higher mathematics. It wants something else substituted for these courses. It is of theopinion that; one of the.greatest ieeds is- f-or-morel- arid- 1CthKaI traSi-' ing in our schools. And in that the- commission un­ doubtedly is right. There is no question but that a •bansc should be made in the courses ■vhich arc being offered to boys and iris in our public schools. TTsed to ’-c that Greek was one of the sub- Vcts that were taught in high school. Thank goodness, that has been thrown out of the window. Now if the schools only would get rid of Latin, they’d be doing another fine piece of work. And ftcr that—algebra and geometry. We don’t know of any more use­ less courses for the average boy or nirl than these. History—fine f Same with geogra­ phy. Physics, English, chemistry, bot­ any, phvsiology, modern languages— ‘hey all serve a useful purpose and help to bring about a well-rounded urogram of education. Bnt Latin—let’s get rid of it and replace it with some conrse that the ■nnil can use after he leaves school iid starts making his own living. If we do that, maybe the doctors •nd lawyers would quit using Latin ■xnressions in their respective prac­ tice. There’s no reason why they shouldn’t stick to English. — The State. fuel Oil Shortage DavieBoyInJapan The shortage of fuel oil is not con-' W ith The Eighth Army in Sap­ p e d to North Carolina, but appears pore> Japan.—Private First Class to affect the entire Atlantic seaboard.

Destroying Life's Incentives Henry Allen is quoted as saying that if Abraham Lincoln were living, the Rotary Club would give him a sat of books, the Lions Club would supply him with a good reading lamp, some other civic club would provide him with writing equipment, the Kiwanis Club a wooden floor for his cabin. The State would protect him with ii-hild labor laws, the Federal Govern­ ment with old age insurance. Some kind philanthropist would give Abc a scholarship which would enable him to be graduated from one of our leading colleges. A welfare case worker would see that his father re­ ceived a monthly check from the coun­ ty, and the OPA would cut his rent 50 per cent. Abe would receive a sub­ sidy for rail splitting, another for "rowing some crop he intended to raise anyhow, and still another Fed­ ora I check would be given him for not raising a certain crop he never intended to raise in the first place. Mr. Allen thinks the result would have been “no Abraham Lincoln” as history knows him. And he is prob­ ably right. The picture of government patern­ alism is not quite as bad as Mr. Al­ len has painted it. Much of the help 'viven private citizens and groups by -overnment agencies today is essen­ tial to the balancing of the scales of oqnitv and opportunity in a society lVhich has been subjected to many •hanges by reason of great industrial •ind technical advances.

U World Varieties" Smash Hit in 1947 r i ||gg Marshall Plan for South WASHINGTON.—The need for a Marshall plan for our own southern states has been recommended in a shockingly frank report prepared for the house agriculture commit­ tee. Written by a group of southern economists, in cooperation with ex­ perts from the agriculture, com­ merce, labor and interior depart­ ments, it recommends that 27.4 bil­ lion dollars be advanced to get the South on its economic feet. In rather blunt terms the report sets forth the evils that make the South what it calls the nation’s poor- house. To cure them, it urges a revolutionary eight-point program. Underlying cause of southern poverty, the report states, is the rutted agrarian system. An overbalance of manpower is struggling without adequate tools to wrest a living from me­ diocre soils, which are highly erosive and badly damaged by past cultivation. Added to this is the prolific population on southern farms. Tbe reproduc­ tion rate is 80 per cent higher than needed to replace itself. “Until non-farm alternatives can be found for a part of the present farm working force and for all tile net increase in farm population,” declares the house agriculture com­ mittee report, “there can be no last­ ing improvement in the producth ity and in earned incomes of southern farm people.” These old agrarian problems, however, are overshadowed by a spectacular new force—farm mech­ anization. Revolutionary new tools, such as the mechanical cotton pick­ er, flame weeder and improved tractors, are expected to displace 2,150,000 southern farm workers by 1965. Atom, U.

The palm fronds are quiet and only the plaintive peep of the last wakeful bird can be heard over the whisper of the waters. A year has begun, but only the baby owlets realize that something is different. Life has begun for their generation as it begins each winter almost precisely at this day and hour. I’m looking through my diary. 9 - Baubhage Program for Future At the request of President Truman, the council of economic advisers is drawing up the fol­ lowing things: 1. A long-range study of the prospects for continued pros­ perity. 2. A program for the increase of social security. 3. Stabiilized wages and price controls to guarantee the con­ tinued productivity of American agriculture. When these studies are com­ pleted, the White House will send them to congress. I New Reclamation Formula ! Washington’s hard-driving Sen. Harry Cain is working on a revolu­ tionary new scheme for financing reclamation projects, a plan that he claims will settle a half-dozen ques­ tions at one time. His idea is to issue federal revenue bonds to the gen­ eral public, then pay off these loans from power and irrigation profits. i Under the present system, Cain argues, the reclamation bureau must show that its projects will be self-liquidating anyhow. On the other hand, Senator Cain claims ti)gt his bill will; . I I. Eiiminaie the annual squab­ ble over reclamation appropria- ’ tions and reduce the drain on the budget; 2. Permit the har­ assed reclamation bureau to plan more than a year ahead; 3. Stir up public interest in rec­ lamation by the public’s sharing in the financing; 4. Serve as an anti-inflation measure by draw­ ing off large amounts of surplus money. Library of congress researchers already have gone over the plan with a fine-tooth comb, and have reported favorably to the senator. • * * Hoof-and-Mouth Menace President Truman heard some blunt warnings about hoof-and- mouth disease from Mexico when he conferred with Albert Goss of the National Grange, C. E. Weymouth of the Texas Cattle Raisers associa­ tion, and Charles W. Holman, sec­ retary of the Milk Producers federa­ tion, and a group of cattle spokes­ men. The cattlemen warned Mr. Tru­ man that they didn’t think the se­ cret treaty now being negotiated with Mexico would work out either to the benefit of the United States or Mexico. Additional steps, not em­ braced by the proposed treaty, will have to be taken to stamp out the dread disease. One necessary step, they said, was the appointment of an adminis­ trator who would work in liaison with the Mexican government and have full authority to make com­ mitments for the United States. Such an administrator would report directly to the President, but would operate in unison with' the state, agriculture and other agencies. Goss and his colleagues urged “planned eradication’’ of infect­ ed Mexican cattle as another step. Cattle vaccinations, now being tried in many parts of Mexico, will delay the spread of hoof-and-mouth disease, but will not stamp it out, the cattlemen emphasized. “Planned eradication,’’ inciden­ tally, is one phase of the treaty now being negotiated. New Year’s Day — Little news, but down the street the church bells ring and for some reason I go to the bookcase and pick up “Pilgrim’s Progress.” Weave a long quotation into my broadcast and very glad I did—so many people liked it. Back through heavy snow to dinner. January 6 — Here is a red card with the seal of the United States on it: “House of Representatives, admit bearer to Radio Gallery.’ A new, Republi­ can - dominated congress, the first in 14 years. The new “ins" riding high. The “o u t s” pretty gloomy. The Gal­ lup poll showed Truman at his low point. (The crowd to hear the President’s mes­ sage is no bigger than the one which jammed the sen­ ate to see Senator Bilbo barred.) Cowboy Glen Taylor of Idaho, how­ ever, stole the Republican show. A difficult broadcast. It looks strange, indeed, to see Joe Martin and Sena­ tor Vandenberg sitting there presid­ ing with Truman below them at the speaker’s desk. January 7 — Had a birthday but didn’t record anything. It couldn’t have been important. January 16 — Press conference at the Polish embassy. (What a change since I broadcast from the drawing room in the days when Hitler be­ gan to show his claws.) Now the Soviets have what Hitler took. No­ body believed a word of what the charge d’affaire said as he insisted on the purity of the government’s pre-election activities. Invited to tea for Otto (Hapsburg) of Austria. Couldn't make it. (How are the mighty fallen.) January 30 — Broadcast from Roosevelt’s bedroom at Hyde Park. Just as he left it. Bedroom slippers, dressing gown, the last magazines that he looked at before he left for Warm Springs, Fala’s dog biscuit. January 31 — Broadcast from Poughkeepsie. It’s centenary of Smitii Brothers’ cough drops — all the employees wearing beards. February 7—Palestine is boiling. February 15 — Took Elizabeth (godchild) through White House. February 19 — Dr. and Mrs. Stephen Palmer (pastor of my par­ ents.’ church, First Presbyterian of Lockport, N. Y.) called. February 20 — Heaviest snowfall of year begins. Attlee announces India to be freed. February 27 — Baby senators’ din­ ner. Commentators as “pitchers” grill freshmen senators “up to bat” at Press club. I had Flanders of Vermont, McCarthy of Wisconsin and Robertson of Virginia. March 12—Broadcast from house radio gallery again. President’s message on aid for Greece and Tur­ key. Announces "Truman doctrine.” Presidential party departs in Sacred Cow. Nat (Nathaniel Peffer, profes­ sor of foreign affairs, Columbia uni­ versity) addresses forum: “Get out of Chtaa—Chiang is a crook.” Late In March—A southern jour-, ney.. Daytona Beach, Pensacola, filled with vague memories of my grandmother’s stories of her pre- Civil war days here. Ltmch aboard the carrier Saipan. Birmingham, Anniston — southern hospitality and sympathetic 'udiences. April 9 — Back in Washington. Saw Maurice Evans in “Hamlet." Very modem. Gravediggers’ scene omitted, Ophelia finds her flowers pressed in a book. However, I liked it. April 28 — Farm ers don’t hate daylight savings time any more than I do. Washington on regular time, we get up an hour earlier. As hard for me as it is for a cow to change habits. April 29 — Poor Richard club of Philadelphia gives me their “cita­ tion of merit.” Had a very jolly luncheon. Wally sits next to me (Wallgren, cartoonist of the Stars and Stripes). Later the United Busi- pessmen’s association gave me a public service shield. May Day — Mexico’s President Aleman addresses joint session of congress. Later we meet him for cocktails and an interview at the decorous Blair house, state depart­ ment’s guest residence for VIPs. Terrific crowd, heat, the poor Presi­ dent nearly pushed into the garden. “Viva Mexico, viva Estado Unidos!” May 16 — Called on Dr. Loudon, Netherlands ambassador. He tells m e he is leaving. It’s not often you establish pleasant friendships with officials whom you may know very well professionally and socially. Dr. Loudon was an exception. Hate to see him go. May 29—Boys back from foreign ministers’ conference in Moscow. Baltimore Sun’s Paul Ward and Washington Post’s Ferdinand Kuhn addressed the overseas writers off- the-record. What they said con­ firmed other off-the-record confer­ ences with high officials. Not much hope for Russian-American amity. Couldn't Get Maple Sugar May 21 — Hear violent argument “Vermont maple sugar is better than Ohio maple sugar.. . . ” Affirm­ ative: Presidential Secretary Wil­ liam Hassett of Vermont. Negative: Dr. Louis Tuckerman, bureau of standards, nuclear physicist of Ohio. Later broadcast my willing­ ness to judge if given samples. Jiine 5 — Secretary of State Mar­ shall, at Harvard, outlines ideas on European recovery. June 11 — Dinner and forum. Dr. Chisholm, Canadian minister of health, gave a splendid talk. He be­ lieves it will take a lot of educa­ tion to change human beings from “the kind of people who go to war every 25 years.” Still no samples. July 8 — The air is full of flying saucers. So are the airwaves and the newspapers. Typical mass il­ lusion. July 25 — Off for a week in New York state and Vermont. Showed my wife scenes of my hiking days. Climbed Mount Mansfield again (on a ski lift). (Maple syrup, $10 a gal­ lon.) August 2 — Back to tropical Wash­ ington. Re-stocked office aquarium with guppies, black mollies, zebras, angel-fish and jumbo snails. August U—Preview of film “The Roosevelt Story.” Good historical documentary, but commentary quite out of tune, for those who lived through most of it. August 19 — Tragedy — angel-figh succumbs and is eaten almost alive by the predatory, if sanitary, snails. August 2# — Biti Benton, director of state department’s "Voice of America” program, calls us in for criticism. He has a rather impres­ sive factual report on its effective­ ness. September 16 — Back In the ABC broadcasting booth at the United Nations in Flushing, N. Y., to watch the general assembly re-convene. Too busy to make any diary entries from now on. September 27 — Returning to Washington. Progress at the assem­ bly seems to be caught in the "njets,” but there is a wffl to peace there which will hold the organiza­ tion together to the last ditch. October 14 — Interview with Stas- sen. In huddle with state department’s second-level experts. Marshall plan by no means ready. Paid for my own lunch. October 28 — Folks in Upper Darby, Pa., seem less interested in the ’48 presidential campaign than in the international situation. November 10 — Folks in Oak Park, 111:, seem more interested in the ’48 presidential campaign than in the international situation. November 16—MC’d “Decade of Destiny” program on Richmond News Leader’s WRNL station for their IOth anniversary. Smithfield ham and more Virginia hospitality. November 17 — Extra session of congress opens. President’s Euro- pean aid and domestic anti-inflation message received with polite but re­ strained enthusiasm by the major­ ity party. Delivered a learned discourse: “Journalism: It's Cause and Cure.” December 7 — Television inter­ view with Senator Flanders of Ver­ mont and Senator Lucas of Illinois on inflation. We didn’t do much to bring down prices, but our tempera­ tures rose slightly under the kfiegs. December 12—Off to Florida. BOTTLE BABIES . . . Porkey and Jacob Werner of Baltimore, Md., must drink 17 gallons of water a day between them In order to go on living. They are victims of a rare kidney ailment that brings about body dehydration. Seventeen gallons of water weighs about 142 pounds; combined weight of the children is 54 pounds. NEW S REVIEW Panama Bases Denied; List Grain Speculators Unanimous rejection by Pan-’ ama’s national assembly of a treaty which would have given the U. S. the right to lease and man 14 mili­ tary and airfield sites to defend the Panama canal not only precipitated a diplomatic disaster but also left this nation in the position of a fighter without a left hand to guard his jaw. The action, strongly opposed by Panama’s President Jimtaez, left the U. S. with just one alternative— to pull out—since commitments had been given that no American troops would remain in Panamanian terri­ tory without sanction of an author­ ized treaty. Military officials later announced that the withdrawal of some 2,000 U. S. soldiers from the 14 bases sur­ rounding the canal would be begun immediately. That meant, probably, that the troops would be pulled into the canal zone proper, which the U. S. leases from Panama. This was, by all odds, the most crucial issue to arise in U. S.-Pan- ama relations since this country purchased the canal from France in 1904. And it was aggravated by the fact that the inability to man de­ fense bases around the canal left this most vital point in American military security dangerously ex­ posed. Rep. Albert Engel (Rep., Mich.), chairman of the house appropria­ tions subcommittee on defense, stated his belief that the national ^assembly’s 51 to 0 vote against the treaty was influenced at least in part by the Communist movement in Panama; and he suggested that the U. S. build a new Atlantic-Pa­ cific canal outside Panama if that nation continued to refuse use of bases. There did not appear to be much chance of further negotiations, how­ ever; the assembly’s rejection of the pact probably closed the door on that course. Some officials were speculating on whether the problem might not wind up in the lap of the United Nations for solution. SERIAL: Grain Opera Secretary of Agriculture Clinton Anderson, at the behest of the sen­ ate appropriations committee in­ vestigating commodity speculation on the part of government officials, came through with the first install­ ment of the “names” he had prom­ ised to name. There were 711 of them — big traders in grain and other commodi­ ties. But except for the name of the man who precipitated the inves­ tigation, Edwin W. Pauley, presiden­ tial advisor and special assistant 3. ANDERSON’S LIST to Army Secretary Kenneth Royall, there were no spectacular disclo­ sures on the list. While there is no law against spec­ ulation, the current investigations ordered by congress stem from re- One of the adverse factors devel­ oping to hamper the nation’s post­ war program of scientific progress is a critical scarcity of scientists in certain branches of military re­ search, government officials have revealed. They discount, however, state­ ments that an aversion on the part of scientists to working on death- dealing weapons is the primary cause of the shortage. • Economic factors and a scholar’s normal desire for complete freedom in study, rather than any anti-mili­ tary philosophy, keep many of them away from government work, offi­ cials of the military and the atomic energy commission observed. Greatest shortage is in certain key personnel, it was disclosed. The need was stressed for scientist-ad- ministrators who are capable of or­ ganizing and directing large re­ search projects of the type the gov­ ernment is sponsoring. Long-range planning is being directed at cor­ recting the situation. W H AT CAR DO YOU LIKE? '48 Auto Is Child of Evolution That sleek, snake-hipped automo­ tive beauty" that you probably are on a waiting list for is a shiny ex­ ample of the “survival of the fit­ test” principle operating in the in­ dustrial world. It is the evolutionary descendant of 2,200 different makes of cars which have appeared on the market In this country alone during the 55 years since the first gasoline-pow­ ered automobile drilled down the pike.Of those 2,200 different manufac­ turers who introduced their prod­ ucts into the American scene, only 21 today continue in actual produc­ tion of passenger cars in the U. S. Nevertheless, this year’s models owe much to these enterprising manufacturers who failed to sur­ vive. Many of them, in the true evolutionary spirit, added some­ thing new that was incorporated into the cars we drive today. High on the list of major engineer­ ing contributions by companies no longer in production, according to the Automobile Manufacturers asso­ ciation's data, is the steering col­ umn control introduced by Pierce in 1904. Brush brought out a car in 1907 with coil'springs, and in 1909 Hup- mobile caught automotive engi­ neers by surprise with its single unit power plant — engine, clutch and transmission. The center gear shift control by King in 1910 caused a sensation un­ equalled in the motoring public’s eye until Pierce-Arrow put head­ lights in the fenders in 1914. And the Dusenberg’s four-wheel hydrau­ lic brakes of 1920 were little short of revolutionary. When Eddie Rickenbacker brought out the Rickenbacker car in 1922 he added the aircleaner to automo­ tive equipment. The Franklin con­ tributed the covered running board to the automobilist with the “Pirate Phaeton” in 1933. Although all of these companies have disappeared from the field, the engineering discoveries they spon­ sored live on after them, and some of the refinements offered today are based upon improvements which were displayed in bold type in cata­ logues published around the turn of the century.

Anderson’s 711-name list was the first installment in a series which the agriculture secretary will for­ ward to the senate appropriations committee, simultaneously making each list public. An estimated 14,000 names are available for such list­ ing. Meanwhile the senate appropri­ ations committee, as well as a house committee, were ready to start sift­ ing the rolls for possible irregulari­ ties and especially for leaks of in. side information. WARNING: On Prices The President’s council of ec nomic advisers, an astute group that sometimes functions as Mr. Truman’s conscience, has warned that the U. S. must return to “real price competition" if the present boom period is not to collapse into a shapeless economic mess. In its annual report the council sharply criticized “monopolistic practices” and declared also that: “Many industrial prices must come down at least in relation to other prices and many rates of profit must subside while reasonable profitability is established in other areas.” This was a clarion call for a revival of the old freebooting com­ petition ta American industry. The report surmised that the pres­ ent era of prosperity was “abnor­ mal” because of such factors i heavy exports, short crops and great military expenditures. To remedy the situation the council of­ fered these recommendations: I Elimtaation of deliberate cur- • tailment of output as practiced by some labor organizations. 2 Discontinuance of the practice • of big business of hampering the development of new, small busi­nesses. Development of natural re­ sources and increase in the in­ dustrial facilities of the nation.

JANUARY 14 1948 Uncle Sant Says What did the Sccreiarv ul uie State of Wyoming say to the Bank­ ing Commissioner when they met 111 Cheyenne in 1937? “I’d like to find a plan to assure a comfortable retire­ ment for myself and my family,” said the Secretary of State. “Why don’t you do what I am doing, buy Sayings Bonds regularly out of in­ come?” his friend replied. Today they have begun the second 10 years of their retirement plan. The then Secretary of State is now Governo- Lester C. Hunt, and the former Bank Commissioner is the present di­ rector of Savings Bonds sales. You, too, can emulate their example. If you invest $18.73 each month in a Series E Savings Bond of $35 ma­ turity value over a period of 20 years and hold ALL the bonds to maturity you will receive an aver­ age yearly income of $700 for the ten years following.

He cut a small snow-laden fir tree, and set it up in his home for his children.

Treasury Dctartment Grown on the hillsides of the coastal states fro;n Maine to Texas and up the Mississippi valley to Missouri, holly is a pretty but slow- growing plant. Leaves are evergreen, the mar­ gins of which are provided with rather widely separated spines. Weak and close-grained, the wood is exceptionally white, making it highly desirable in the manufacture of woodemvare. cabinets and inte­ rior finishing. As a result of scientific discover­ ies holly cuttings will take root quickly when they are treated with hormonelike substances. Christmas holly has been converted into potted plants. These plants can be set out as a permanent ornament for land­ scapes. Growth regulating substances— indole butyric acid and naphthalene acetamide—are on the market in IiqQid or powdered form under va­ rious trade names. The chemicals are applied to plantings of fresh cuttings kept moist, ronl and well Prcsiti Something I' v For the first time in the - of the United States a Prcs':' vetoed a bill passed by C'—'-rer- reduction of taxes. TrarUtor-P -. has been considered proper for C ■ gress to hold the ourre stripes rr determine expenditures. CxlrO- quently, when Congress has spoken on the subject the President has al­ ways accepted the verdict with re­ gard to lowering taxes. This time the bill passed both Houses with a large majority and still was vetoed by the President—something new. Financial experts are now pre­ dicting a considerable surplus in the budget at the end of the fiscal year. This happens because more income from taxes is being realised than was expected. Moreover, Congress has succeeded in cutting down pro­ posed expenditures a great deal. Consequently, the reduction of four billion dollars in taxes could have been made and at the same time a large payment on the national debt. Soaring Tax Load The total tax bill of the nation is now running just about one-third r' the total amount of monev earned. ;by the people of the nation. This means that one-third of the aver­ age income of the averrte individ­ ual is going for foxes. It means that ,one-third of every man’s income di­ rectly or indirectly goes back to the government in taxes. This is a dan­ gerously high tax rate for peace time, and if continued can be ruin­ ous to the economy of this nation, In fact, no nation can be expected to prosper under that kind of tax load—not for very long. President Truman, in comment­ ing on the tax bill, said there was already sufficient cash available for ,“necessarv investment and business expansion.” It should be remem­ bered however, that America didn’t become great by making only what the government considered “nec­ essary investment and business ex­ pansion.” The government did not pronounce as “necessary” the de­ velopment of our great western rail­ ways. Neither did government pro­ nounce “necessary” the develop­ ment of the great automobile indus­ try. Tlie government did not pro­ nounce “necessary” the production of a cheao automobile made pos­ sible by Henry Ford, General Mo­ tors and others who had similar dreams and who made capital in­ vestments beyond what the govern­ ment announced as "necessary.” .- No Brakes Needed From personal contact with indus­ trialists and financiers I am thor­ oughly convinced that new ven­ tures are entirely too few. Much capital is being held back because of various discouragements includ­ ing high taxes and uncertain indus­ trial relations. Had these brakes been on during preceding genera­ tions they would have prevented the development of the railroads, the automobile industry, the refrigera­ tion industry, and the airplane in­ dustry. Our nation would have been much poorer today and we would have been living on a lower in­ come level. If we are going to have a pros­ perous economy ten years from now, taxes should be lightened im­ mediately and industrial relations tremendously improved. We musl look ahead to anticipate our needs. We can go along making “necessary investment and business expansion” and move into poverty and medio­ crity, slipping gradua'ly backward. If our nation is to remain great, free men mur he able to dream their own drc: and make new ventures Uncle Sam Says Many tributes will be paid news­ paper boys on annual Newspaper Boy Day this month. Thousands of newspaper boys are members of thrift clubs, sponsored by the In­ ternational Circulation Managers’ Association. Perhaps no greater honor will come to these boys than to point them out as school boys who are demonstrating how to go into partnership with their Uncle Sam in building a growing fund for future education. By investing their newspaper boy earnings in U. S. Savings Bonds regularly, they are getting their Uncle Sam to pay part of the expense. Your bond officer or banker will explain how regular bond buyings can provide four years of college education, one year of which will be paid for by your Unde Sam as interest on your investment.U.S. Treasury Department LO O K IN a A ffL A D GEORGE S. BENSON PtaUciit--Mtriiitt Ccttete Seteet-Atttnstt Government and Railroads The American railroads are being put increasingly on the spot. They had tough times during the depres­ sion years of the Thirties. Some of them went bankrupt and remain that way, despite the tremendous volume of wartime business. Times are good on the railroads now, too. They are hauling all the freight they can haul. Well, then, asks the pub­ lic, if business is so good, why can’t the railroads keep on granting wage increases? Folks coming to our town ride the Missouri Pacific. Although it weni bankrupt in 1933, this railroad now has on order $35 million worth r new cars and locomotives. That’, an example of how a bankrupt rri’ road has to pay out money. Aprt that’s not all. Its gross revenue' were up 54 per cent in 1947 as com­ pared with 1929, and net income was up 40 per cent. But here’s th? catch. Its taxes have gone up 173 per cent! Government Trouble As a matter of fact, payrolls and payroll taxes took more than half the gross revenues of the railroads in 1946. At the same time, the rate of return for stockholders, based on property valuation, has dwindled to around 3 per cent. Not more than 3 Vfe per cent is the estimate by the Interstate Commerce Commission for 1947, and this does not include wage increases. That’s mighty poor investment! Everybody seems to be unhappy about the railroads. The various un­ ions are usually ready to complain about wages. Yet management find: wage increases coming, with no profits to absorb them. And some­ times the public gets sore. Pretty soon somebody gets the bright idea. We’ll just let the government take the railroads over, and that’ll settle everything. They just think it will. That’s what the trouble is now. Gov­ ernment trouble. Some On The Rocks In my opinion, the extensive gov­ ernment regulations are fundamen­ tally to blame for the railroads’ fail­ ure to make ends meet despite the greatest volume of business they ever had in peace time. American railroads are probably regulated by government more than any other major industry. In years when rail­ roads see that profits are too small, or even non-existent as in 1946, they may petition the government for rate increases. These may be granted or they m ay not. Some relief was granted the railroads early this year. Bu1 these prospects were at once swal­ lowed in wage increases, and addi­ tional increases are being asked even though many railroads are al­ ready on the rocks. If things go on for another decade in this manner, we shall see a great and important industry fold up completely. The future of our industry depends much upon the future of our rail­ roads. Yet, unless railroad credit can be restored, unless the lines are permitted to earn enough money to pay fair dividends and attract new investment, to keep equipment and properties in good condition, then it will not be possible to keep paying good wages to employees. In this critical period, wage increases may be the burden that breaks the rail­ roads. If the railroads are crippled, or if government ownership comes, the public will pay and pay and pay.

Tratenry Deformit, HUNTING for More BUSINESS Try Onr Ads You may not have a degree as an engineer, Mrs. Housewife, but when you’re home canning you’re using scientific principles just as surely as a mining, chemical, electrical or other engineer. That is, if you fol­ low glass jar manufacturer’s instruc­ tions, for they are based upon scien­ tific discoveries made over a period of a century and a half. Back in Napoleon’s time, a Paris confectioner, Nicolas Appert, set out to find a method of food preserva­ tion, and win a 12,000-iranc prize offered in 1795 by the French gov­ ernment. Napoleon, like Frederick the Great, believed an army travels on its stomach, and the folks at home got hungry and discontented too! Nicolas won the prize, after 15 years’ work, but his methods and equipment have been greatly im­ proved upon. He labored under many handicaps, not knowing a tempera­ ture beyond boiling is required for processing some foods and having to design his own glass jars. Not until 1860 did Louis Pasteur e-tab- Iish the fact that microorganisms are responsible for food spoilage. Four­ teen years later, an American, A. K. Shriver of Baltimore, invented the “retort” or “pressure” cooker. In 1858 John Mason patented the Mason jar with neck designed for receiving a screw type cap. The Mason jar with porcelain-lined zinc cap is an old reliable. Mason would probably - be astounded by the 1947 cap for sealing the Mason jar. This new style cap is a two-piece metal affair with a Dome lid which has sealing compound on the under side and is tested for seal by pressing on the center of the lid with the finger. Sealing with the Dome lid is made doubly sure by the new type metal band which bears down on the lid at three pressure points. Also reliable in seal is the light­ ning type jar with rubber ring, glass lid and wire bail. Many scientific experiments and jar improvements have perfected pro­ cesses for today’s home canning and it is upon them that instructior.3 you will find in reliable home canning lit­ erature such as the Ball Blue Book are based.

I greatly appreciate your prayers, your letters and cards, and the liberal offerings you sent to­ ward helping me in the work I am doing for the Master. It was so en- ouraging-to receive scores and scores >f Christmas cards, quite a number if which contained offerings, thus •evealing to me that you indeed ap­ preciate my articles, messages and noems, and that you are truly in­ vested in the cause of righteous- ness and holiness. May God richly Mess and reward you for this, and for all you have done, and are doing, -■ml may do, for the salvation of pre­ cious souls and for the advancement of His cause and kingdom. Amen, and praise the Lord. I am glad to say that we are serv- :ng some very fine people here who ;tand hy us very faithfully. This makes a pastor and his family feel 'iappy, and encourages us so much to -o forward for God and the salvation if men. In my thirty-five years of ninistry, as pastor and evangelist, I '•ave never served a finer and more ■npreciative people than here. Thank Iod for every one of them, and thank tod for every one of you. It will 'ie wonderful and exceedingly glorious io meet thousands in heaven to whom I have preached and served through -iy writing across the years of life, or across many years of life. I want vou to know that I sincerely appre- :-te you, as well as what you have lone for me. Please continue to re member me in prayer, and I shall nray on for you. Write me as you have time ,for it is very encouraging to receive appreciative letters from ■coders, friends, brothers and sisters ■i the Lord. Now we are facing a New Tear. Let’s enter it with much prayer, deep ’-votion to God, faith in His prom ces. and with a very sincere desire to 1O our best for S s cause and king- lorn among men. Let’s pray that God will make us more spiritual and holy; ‘hat He will graciously bless us and make us a blessing one to another, ■nd especially enable us to win many ■nuls into IBs field. If we are per­ mitted to live through 1948 it ought 'm he the best year we have ever spent hns far in life. H we devote our- iclves, our time, talent and means to "od as we should, it can be.

Sivaramon, recently med&a trip through the Sonth tor the purpose of seeing mow “ persons ot rolor” were treated in this part of the United States.

RatledgeGets fEm 5IThefollowingnews story con­ cerning Fred Ratledge, an old Da­ vie boy, appeared in a recent is­ sue of The Greensboro News: J. F. Radedge of Guilford Col­ lege, investigator with the Alcohol Tax Unit, last week started his 27th year of service as a liquor law enforcement officer. Having at various times cover­ ed North Carolina from Wilkes- boro to the coast and for a short while, west and southwest parts of Virginia, Ratledge has helped 'cut down” thousands of ilicit distilleries. He has seen a lot of whisky poured on the ground. He recalls that in one period of 45 months, he and other officers with whom he was working, de­ stroyed over 11,000 illicit distiller­ ies, around 1,600,000 gallons of mash, and 46,000 gallons of liquor. Nine hundred men were arrested in connection with these raids. Investigator Radedge has been lucky in this at times dangerous business of chasing dovvfr, makers and sellers of untaxpaid whisky. He says that so far as he knows he has never been shot at during all these years of making raids— and that he has never had to shoot anybody. “Majority of the people we ar­ rest are not antagonistic in their attitude toward us,” he said. In fact, the bootleggers were so genial in a couple of instances that they mistook Ratledge for one of their chums. He walked into a wooded hol­ low, threw up his hand in greet­ ing to the man operating a still, and started talking. The blockad- er later admitted that he didn’t try to escape because he thought Ratledge was- one of his neighbors eome to help with a “run” of corn liquor. Another time he walked in on two men who stood peacefully by until he arrested them. “They mistook me for a squirrel hunter. But usually they take officers for what we are and don’t lose any time in making a getawav,” Rat­ ledge jested. It seems that as a rule the men have enough sense to leave the wife and kids at home when they go to work at the still. This vet­ eran officer recalls having seen only one woman around an illicit distillery. Dressed in overalls she hit for the bushes, but the raiding officers caught her along with her male companions. Only a few times, he says, has he found chil­ dren at distilleries. Largest outfit Ratledge remem­ bers helping seize was a 1,000 gal­ lon still. The smallest, tucked a- way in B flower-strewn dell, had a manufacturing capacity of two gal­ lons and three quarts. AnaiI keg was used for a fermenter. People store their “spirits’' in anything—take it from the inves­ tigator. They use kegs, barrels, fruit jars, jugs, buckets and tubs, Once Ratledge seized a dairy milk can filled with liquor. The kind of alcoholic beverages Ratledge has helped confiscate sound like a bill of fare: Apple, peach, scuppemong, and grape brandy. And then, liquors made from com or rye meal, wheat and from all sorts of grain derivatives. In the days of rationing, the bootleggers used molasses syrup— anything as substitute for the su­ gar necessary for fermentation of the mash. “We found thcee large distilleries,” Ratledge said, “at which bars of candy were being used instead of sugar for making liquor.” This “revenooer” of 26 long years gets a lot of fun out of his work. He enjoys all of the jokes — even when they’re on him.

MOCTCSVITJ.E. N. C. OND Battle Over Bonds WASHINGTON.—The hottest bat­ tle over inflation control is an oil- stage fight that has nothing to do with the front-paged Truman-con- gress ruckus. This behind-the-scenes tug-of-wai is between the administration and top bankers, and is a lot more im­ portant to the country than the noisy congressional row. The banker bat­ tle is the real crux of the inflation- control issue. Briefly, this is what this key light is about: The bankers want the govern­ ment to stop maintaining the price of C. S. bonds at par. These are not the E, F and G series savings bonds, which have nothing to do with this con­ troversy. These bonds are liter­ ally what they are called—sav­ ings bonds. They are the same as greenbacks. They are non. marketable and can be cashed any time for their specified value. The bonds the bankers are talking abont are the various short- and long-term issues that are marketable. The great bulk of these bonds are held by banks, insurance companies and corporations. The bankers contend that a root cause of inflation and high prices is too much money. Money in circula­ tion in the U. S. today is three times the amount in 1940. The bankers hold that the way to counteract this tremendous volume of money is to tighten up on bank loans. And the most effective way to do that, they assert, is for the government t.o stop underpinning marketable govern­ ment bonds and permit thom to reach their “natural” level. In recent weeks, marketable gov­ ernment bonds have evinced marked weakness. They have sold off con­ siderably from previous high prices There is no question that, if the fed­ eral reserve system withdrew its support of these bonds, they would nosedive. Administration financial IeaderE are dead set against the bankers' demand.* • * Theory vs. Actuality During the London conference One U. S. delegate confided to a friend that “we have been scared stiff foi fear the Russians would take us up on our plan for unifying Germany If they did, I don’t know where we ’6 be.” Fortunately, the Russiam weren't smart enough and the Lon don conference of foreign minister? ended in a stalemate—exactly whai the United States wanted. In other words, the V. S. has put itself in the unenviable posi­ tion of not wanting a peace treaty for Germany—the same obstructionist position it has ac­ cused Russia of occupying for the last two years. AU thig boils down to the fact tha< General Marshall is convinced that once the four zones of Germany ar< unified, the Russians will soon domi nate all Germany.' Thus, for twi long years, the U. S. has been harp tag on the idea of unifying German; and now we are worried sick foi fear it will be unified. This reversa of position to some extent is a refiec tion on ourselves—by at least 50 pei cent. It boils down to two facts: I We know the Russians have • done a better job politically ir their zone than we have in ours This doesn't mean that the Germans love them but it does mean that the Russians have carefully built up a German army, trained to take or­ ders from Moscow. Also, they have indoctrinated some thousand able German leaders with enough Com munist allegiance to gradually take over the other zones of Germany once Germany is unified. 2 We know from experience that • the Russians will be absolutely ruthless in opposing the U. S., once Germany is unified. In other words, theoretically, American newspapers then would circulate in the rest of Germany but they wouldn’t — they would disappear in sewers. So, despite weeks of London de­ liberations the United States, Ger­ many and Russia are right back where they started at Potsdam in the summer of 1945.• * • Chinese Probe Members of the house committee on executive expenditures are pri­ vately eyeing the big Chinese lobby that came close to writing a 60 mil­ lion dollar handout for the Chiang Kai-shek government into the Presi­ dent’s bill for emergency relief for Europe. The lobby did succeed in snagging 18 million dollars for Chiang. To date, the U. S. has given and lent the Chiang government over five billion dollars. The state department estimates that there are 200 Chiang agents and propagandists now in the U. S. While congress was considering the emer­ gency relief bill, the capital liter­ ally swarmed with Chinese. At a senate appropriations committee hearing, some 20 Chinese tnilled around the committee’s chamber. Members of the expenditures committee are very curious about how this Chiang lobby is being fi­ nanced. Also, who1 organized it and who is running it. "Time and Chance/' Tale of a Credo Artist-Writer Builds Self Philosophy 'for to Admire' By BAUKHAGE Netvs Analyst and Commentator. WASHINGTON.—E very once in a while, I devote this colum n to a book. Not a review , but ju st m y feelings about the book and its author. I couldn’t help writing about “Time and Chance” by artist Cyrus LeRoy Baldridge. Not merely because the book interested me, or because it is a most attractive piece of autobiography, or because the drawings are_a. book in themselves, or because other reviewers liked it—but be­ cause I happened to share some of the experiences it describes and be­ cause I lived, as he did (and you) did, through the times and chances which Baldridge interprets in terms of his own. Also I want to write a review be­ cause of what these experiences, the fruits of the varied environments which the artist-author describes, did to form a career, a character, a philosophy, which is “for to see and to admire.” In Roy’s own words, it is the story, partly done in pictures, of “how a well-meaping, b u t provincialn Baukhage farm boy got an international point of view.” He summarizes his own thoughts on this attractive 400-page volume in a note to me, this way: “G randfather (was a) share­ cropper and vet. “At seven (Roy) was driv­ ing a horse on mother’s wagon selling cookingthrough Arkansas, pots. “Worked way through college with Baukhage." (Roy did the working, I, subsi­ dized, loafed considerably.) “Peace conference (Paris, 1919) with Baukhage, and sold on Wil­ son’s idealism. Still sold on ideal­ ism, the term now altered with the times. “Worked enough to save money enough to see Far East, Near East, Africa, Indian.” (And how he worked!) Then he concludes: “All men the same, discount­ ing the apparent differences caused by varying backgrounds caused by 'time and chance.’ ” To reach that conclusion, Roy made an Odyssey beginning with the “cooking pots” into domains oil which Homer never dreamed. He had an artist’s eye trained from the age of 12 when he was tolerated in a Chicago art school with young artists who were later to achieve national reputations. Such men as John T. McCutcheon, cartoonist; Webster, creator of the “Timid Soul,” and many others. Goudy, the great type designer, who died last year, was Roy’s teacher, along with the school’s director, Frank Holme, who became a second father to the wide-eyed child. At that school, Roy learned his most impor­ tant lesson—self criticism. His mother re-married, and Roy became bellhop and baggage-smash­ er in his stepfather’s small-town commercial hotel; finally he went to college on a scholarship which, when he arrived, he found wasn’t there. Utterly alone, without the so­ cial prestige of a college fraternity, he achieved campus success; be­ came what was considered a “prom* inent student.” He grew to realize the empti­ ness of “college honors” but, unlike Vincent Sheean who was to follow him, Boy learned to admire the university which he had “collegiately” exploited. At our 80th reunion, he interpreted the word “university” in its ob­ solete but new meaning: “the whole . . . an things . . . the universe . . . a body of persons . . . the body of the people.” I shared those campus years with Roy, but I missed most of their sig­ nificance and experience, for I was carefully sheltered (after a few freshman heartbreaks) behind the protective coloring of Greek letters. But I managed to know Roy and learn a little from his experiences. He is a man who inspires high loyal­ ties. There was a post-college' period when we lost each other. He was commercial-arting and living in the University of Chicago settlement, where he taught art to little toughs from the stockyard district, devel­ oped a social conscience, became a national guard cavalryman (be­ cause he dreamed of “going west” and being another Frederick Rem­ ington), got his first peep into the world of culture and fell in love with a chaming and “modem” men­ tor out of a world until then strange to him. One day shortly after World War I broke out, I received a long dis­ tance telephone call. It was. Roy, he was going overseas. Wouldn’t I join him? I had just completed a tour of European wandering much more conventional than Roy’s was to be. I also had a job. So I, the congenital bourgeoise, rejected the idea. Cater I learned that he then had two incentives I lacked: A broken heart and a sketchbook, as spurs. Unbelievably, without credentials, he wormed Ius way through beleaguered Belgium to the German front, where he learned to hate war. He came back to fight out a career in New York. I’m not going to write any more of Roy’s story for it is his story told far better than I could hope to re­ count it. I can only say that when World War I came to America he had his part in it, a fraction of which I again was lucky enough to share with him. He was a cartoonist on the Stars and Stripes, after experi­ ences on every frost with the French. I joined him in Paris after the armistice. Walking down Rue de la Paix one day with Roy I was mumbling reminiscences of ridilng beside my battery of 155s. Suddenly he grabbed me by the arm. “Buck,” he said, “that’s poetry. Let’s write a book. I’ll illustrate it.” Of course, it wasn’t poetry but it was verse the G.I.s of our day un­ derstood and the illustrations were art, if art is life — and death — as Roy had seen it. We came back and went our sepa­ rate ways. He now had a partner, Caroline Singer, a perfect comple­ ment. She was a California news­ paper woman. They built a home, leaving it periodically to travel the Seven Seas — China, Japan, Europe again, India, Africa, criss-crossing out their books in perfect collabora­ tion.' But Roy’s book is his-own story, a perfect American saga. As Ameri­ can as the wind that blows the Mid­ west com fields; as foreign as the sounds and smells of P eking, Yoko­ hama, the click of sab o ts in a tiny French village, va­ ried as its ribbon­ breasted diplomats, kings, Senegam * banian belles and Teheran beauties. But it’s more than that. It’s the story of the making of a human phil­ osophy old as the Mongolian moun­ tains which are a part of its back­ ground, new as today. “Left and right,” writes Bald­ ridge, “are not two evils, they are the same evil; and safety witbout the solidarity of class­ conscious grWps, screaming slogans, or party orders to lean upon, liberals must be staunch enough to walk a lonely road.” I know that Roy would like to have me conclude this review — if you want to call it that — with the following quotation which gave him his title, the biblical quotation: “The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding; nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.” I would not dare to doubt the words of the Preacher (Ecclesi­ astes 1X:11) — but I know that here was a man who grasped time by the forelock, was able to hog-tie and saddle it, and one who took his chances if not with­ out fear, at least without falter­ ing.* • »/ When Tovarich gets the idea his rubles are going to be worthless, he acts just like a wage-slave in a be­ nighted capitalistic country.

NEW S REVIEW Wallace Enters Race; Romanian King Leaves Wallace history would Henry Wallace was deluding no<3> one, not even himself, about his chances of being elected President of the United States in 1948 on a third party ticket when, with zeal­ ous idealism, he announced that he would be an independent candidate. His entry into the contest, as he announced on a nation-wide broad­ cast from Chicago, was based upon his revulsion against “the bi-parti­ san reactionary war policy which is dividing the world into two armed camps.” Both Republicans and Democrats, he indicated, can be filed in the same political pigeon-hole because both stand for the bi-partisan poli­ cies which are leading the nation to war and depression. “That menace can be met and overcome only by a new political alignment in America which re­ quires a new political party,” averred the former vice president. Whether or not it could be met by a third party — a “peace party” — founded on the assumption that the U. S. must adopt a softer, more co-operative a ttitu d e tow ard Russia and at the same time reject universal military training and pre­ paredness in gen­ eral was a question that probably even not answer. Domestic political significance of Wallace’s emergence as a third party candidate may be summed up briefly: Republicans like it, Demo­ crats don’t. If Wallace can get on the bal­ lots in one or more of the pivotal states — New York, Ohio, Califor­ nia, Pennsylvania or Illinois — he may be able to split off enough of the Democratic vote to swing the election to the Republican nominee. Always the eminent liberal, Wal­ lace is angling for all or a portion of the left-wing Democratic vote; and if he makes his inherent de­ votion to Rooseveltian ideals stick, he may be able to corral a consid­ erable section of those on the left side. One thing was certain. Wallace would have the hearty, although somewhat onerous, support of the Communists, no matter how much he might avow his own anti-Com- munist principles. He would have to go through the campaign with the Reds and fellow-travelers hanging to his coat-tails. REPUBLIC: Michael Quits Communist-controlled eastern Eu­ rope cast off its last tie with a hap­ pier past when King Michael I of Romania made public his abdica­ tion from the throne. His announcement had not yet fully registered on Romania’s bewil­ dered populace when the Com­ munist government promptly pro­ claimed the nation a “popular democratic republic.” Thus, with the 26-year-old mon­ arch’s abdication, ended a dynasty established in 1866, the last mon- London Braces Englaad is full of suspense but it isn't the kind that keeps a marts troup­ ers up.British braces (suspenders), ^ made under a government order limiting the elastic to three inches at the back, have been the cause of a number of Lon­ don breeches falling down and finally drove Historian Arthur Bryant to re­porting bis plight in a letter to the London Timesr In the past year, be said, be bought four pairs of braces. ttAfter each oc­ casion," lamented Bryant, "the braces have broken irretrievably within three months''The Times, in a helpful mood, de­plored the situation in an editorial: ttTbe Four Freedoms are a hollow mockery if our braces are going to be bursting all the time. No nation can be expected to hold up its head if it also is required to hold up Hs trous- archy in the Soviet sphere of influ­ ence in eastern Europe and the last throne held by the House of Hohen- zollem. Michael, as some romanticists would have had it, might have re­ nounced his throne purely for the love of Princess Anne of Bourbon- Parm a and Denmark, but the Com­ munist establishment of a “repub­ lic” and immediate reorganization of the government came too swift­ ly, too efficiently to lend much cre­ dence to .that theory. As the king himself pointed out in his abdication proclamation, he was resigning the throne because a monarchy no longer coincided with the “great political, economic and social changes” in Romania. Nor was it logical for the Com­ munists, grim advocates of their “international dictatorship of the proletariat,” to be countenancing and cooperating with a hereditary monarchy. And Michael had acted as a sort of brake on some Com­ munist actions in Romania. NEW HIGH: Farm Prices U. S. farmers continued to set new records in price levels, both for the produce they sell and the goods they in turn buy. . It was reported by the department of agriculture that the general level of farm prices rose 5 per cent be­ tween mid-November and mid- December to a record high of 301 per cent of the 1909-14 average. Previous all-time high was 289 per cent, set last October. At the same time, prices paid by farmers for items for living and farm production also reached a new record. On December 15 the index of prices paid was 245 per cent above the 1909-14 average. The farm price level in mid-De­ cember, the department said, was 14 per cent higher than January, 1947, and the index of prices paid 16 per cent higher. Between mid-November and mid- December, average prices for vir­ tually every group of farm com­ modities except fruit showed meas­ urable increases. PUSHBUTTON BILL-OF-iFARE Meatball Due To Be Electrified The pushbutton may never re­ place the meatball, but with the rapid ascendancy of electric vend­ ing machines it is promising to exert a profound influence on the destiny of that spherical aggrega­ tion of ground beef, as well as on many another item in the Ameri­ can diet. Even now plans have been drawn and preparations are being made by C-Eight laboratories in Newark, N. J., to open a retail store in Los Angeles where customers will be able to make a variety of purchases —from food and beverages to dry goods—simply by stepping up to an electrical vending machine, insert­ ing the prescribed amount of money in the slot and pushing a few buttons. This unique establishment, sched­ uled to open its doors in April, will be operated in Los Angeles on an experimental basis. If customers in­ dicate that they are pleased with this brave new twist in merchandis­ ing, similar electric vending ma­ chine . stores can be expected to spring up in other parts of the coun­ try. Presupposing that such a trend is established, persons living in small or rural communities can look for­ ward to seeing these robot sales clerks in their local stores around 1950. ' The experimental store in Los An­ geles will feature machines quiver­ ing with electrical impulses and ready to dispense at a touch such varied merchandise as bottled cof­ fee, mouthwash, peanuts, fruit juices, bread, canned goods, eggs, blouses, stockings, neckties and other ready-to-wear goods. Still in the developmental stage are other pushbutton marvels which will accommodate deep-frozen foods or, to go to the other extreme; com­ plete, cooked meals that will erupt from the vending machine piping hot and ready to serve instantly or in an hour or half-hour as you wish. The deep-freeze and cooked foods machines, however, are still too ex. pensive and complex for widespread use; so housewives can’t look for­ ward to being emancipated from standing over a hot stove all day for at least some time. What happens to the sales clerk if electrical vending machines sweep the country on a mass scale? That is a question for which no one has come up with an answer so far. As a matter of fact, no one has started worrying about it yet. CLASSIFIED D E P A R T M E N T AUTOS TRUCKS Sc ACCESS.

But even this is partly com­ pensated for in the case of legumes by the greater amounts of nitrogen the bigger crop supplies to the soil. :;“ High acre yields are also the se­ cret of success in erosion control and soil conservation. When yields on less erodible land are doubled or trebled through adequate liming and heavy fertilization, a bigger acreage of more erodible lands can be returned to forests and per­ manent grass. That means more and better food for all.” Herds and Flocks Damp litter In laying houses fre­ quently results in colds and other' diseases. Dampness around water containers can be eliminated in pens rnth running water by putting a driain pipe through the floor and set­ ting the watering pan on a frame over the drain pipe. Dry litter pays off. Feed is wasted when animals die. A pullet that dies in December rep­ resents a loss of 40 pounds of feed. Ihe loss of a newborn pig repre­ sents a loss of 140 pounds of feed. (Tb avoid excessive loss of butter- fat in skim milk in winter, rim enough hot water through the sep­ arator bowl so it will come out the cream and skim milk spouts.

Mechanized Hog Faim Miaikes Pig Raising Easy A. fully modernized and mechan­ ized hog farm can be so rigged that one man cpn handle 100 sows and bring to market each year 1,500 to 2;000 hogs—a half-million pounds of pork on the hoof, according to Dr. Waldo Semon of the B. F. Goodrich company. This is possible by mechanized means of conveyor belts, chutes and other devices. Tests show, he said, that rubber-tired tractors and other farin vehicles require only 40 to 50 per. cent as much pulling power on plowed ground or sod as do steel wheels, and can plow a field in 25 per cent less time and with 25 per cent less fuel consumption. Deep Litter Will Help Keep Laying House Dry Deep litter will help keep well- insulated and well-ventilated laying houses dry this winter, says Iowa State college. Not only will there be more eggs to put in the crate, but also, the house need not be cleaned as frequently if the litter and drop­ pings are kept dry. A deep litter keeps the floor dry because it de­ velops heat as it slowly decomposes in the laying house, insuring better A ockVheAltb., -. • ' > : W .■ 8 i-TO r SPEiT International Uniform Sunday School Lossona By LOUIE D.

STANLEY JONES was In Atlanta on one of his several visits, and some of us were asking him about his notable and unique experience as a missionary in the Orient. “If you had it all to go over, Dr. Jones, would y o u devote your life to the peoples of faraway Asia, or would you choose to live in America with its abundance of good things?” he was asked. Quick as a flash of light­ ning he replied: “If I had a thousand lives to give, they would all gladly go to the wistful souls of Asia.” Paul would have been enheartened in the day that he wrote II Corin­ thians 5:20 to 6:10, and Romans 12:9-21, to have heard someone talk as Dr. Jones talked that afternoon, for in our lesson for Sunday, Paui is summoning every Christian to the highest possible commitment to the will of God as we go forth in the task to beseech all men to be rec­ onciled unto God through Jesus Christ, who hath taken upon him­ self the iniquity of us all, “that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” Thus we come to see the signifi­ cance and the meaning of the memory verse for Sunday’s lesson, “We are fellow workmen for God,” I porinthians 3:9. PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH GOD READ Hebrews’ Ilth chapter for a picture of some of the noble souls who really worked with God, by faith, as the writer delights to put it.Abraham, for example, “went out, not knowing whither he went,” but when be came to the end of life’s day, he was account­ ed the friend of God. Moses, “ choosing rather to suffer afflic­ tion with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt, endured as seeing him who is invisible.” HOW WE WORK WITH GOD R EAD again that eleventh chapter of Romans to discover how the men and women named there worked with God. Two words will quickly come to light ■— faith and obedience. They believed God, and they obeyed God. Junior boys and girls will do well to recall some of the heroes of history — men like Washington and Lincoln and Lee— and in every instance you will dis­ cover that they,- too, believed God and obeyed God. Remember the story of Washington ■ kneeling in prayer in the snow at Valley Forge? We cannot work with God unless- and until we believe and obey him. “Can two walk together ex­ cept they be agreed?” You can­ not please your earthly father un­ less you believe him and obey him. GOOD WORKMEN ESSENTIAL W E COME now to the deeper implications of the lesson,' re­ vealed in II Corinthians 5:20 to 6:10. “We. then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye re­ ceive not the grace of God in vain; but in all things approving ourselves in much patience, in afflictions, in distresses, in watchings, by kind­ ness, by love unfeigned, by the pow­ er of God. ...” Here is the acid test of doing the work of an ambassador of Christ — we must first be fully committed to him before we can persuade others to accept him as Saviour and Lord. VVe shall hot have better homes and better churches until we -first have bet-. ter Christians. We shall not have better business until we first have better business men. And the only way by which we become good workmen is ,through the redeeming, transforming grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. JOY OF WORKING WITH GOD W HY did Dr.- E. Stanley Jones answer so quickly about giv­ ing a thousand lives to the benight­ ed, wistful souls of Asia? Because he had discovered the unspeakable joy of working with God in recon­ ciling men unto him. The largest, surest wages in this world is the ex­ perience of working for and. with God. “What I kept, I lost; what I gave, I have.” Do you believe it? It is difficult to believe until you try it. Indeed, : I would say that it is beyond all imagination to grasp the mean­ ing of working with God. You have to take Christ at exactly what he , meant when he said, “Come and. see.” “Whejl we walk with, the Lord, in the liglit nf >is word, , what .,a gldry he .sheds on dur why!” " ••.A. V.)

Cooper of the Army and Air Force Recruiting Office in in Winston-Salem, Capt. Cooper said that commissioned and war­ rant officers of the Army separat­ ed on or after January I, 1948 al­ so would be given a ninety day grace period before losing their rights to eulist in the Army of­ ficers desiring to enlist in the Air Force are not included in this new plan as grade authoriza tion must be obtained for them individually. The recruiting officer stated that this new plan will be very popular with those men who de sire a longer time to conder whether or not they prefer civi­ lian employment or a service ca­ reer. He said that men who are not eligible to reenlist at their former grades, due to their re­ maining out of service beyond the grace period, may apply for a non commissioned rating based on their previous military experi ence. ■ in n BUY - - BUY Tobacco Canvass Now ■ We Have Only A Limited Supply |g I Donit Vfait Buy Now-mAnd Save | I Shoes!

FOBD 'T 'H E bank examiners were com- ing Monday. And Blake needed five thousand dollars. He checked over some of his per­ sonal papers again as he sat in the President’s office of his bank. No use! Nothing he could realize on right now. Good enough later/ but no good to him before Monday. His buzzer rang, and he put the papers away hastily. It was Carter, his cashier. "Mr. Steinberg is here, Mr. Blake,” said Carter on the exten­ sion phone. “He wants to renew«his note again. He says it would break him to pay it now but he’ll be on his feet in two months. I told him I’d have to speak with you.” Carter had been with him long, but he didn’t take much responsi­ bility. "Let him renew it,” said Blake. And he hung up. He ran the pencil down his pri­ vate papers again. No use. “Got to do something,” he told himself. He picked up his hat and hurried’ out. On the street in front of the Law­ yers’ building he met Carter’s daughter. A slender girl, she was, with fine hair, and skin, and a flush on each cheek that heightened as she came toward him. “You’re looking fine, Doris,” he greeted her. "Good morning, Mr. Blake. Oh, I’m feeling first rate, thank you,” she said. He looked at her. “Not over­ doing, are you? What’d that doctor tefl you this time?” The girl set her mouth into a smile. “Oh, he was all right,” she said. “Always has that silly notion about my going away for a while. But I told him I couldn’t leave father. He says I’m doing fine.” Blake tapped her shoulder. “Cheer up, Doris. We’ll fix it,” he said. “Take it easy, as he told you.” Blake waved goodbye and swung into the doorway of the Lawyers’ Building where his foster son Ernest practiced law. Blake had brought up Ernest and educated him and started him out. Now Ernest was building a reputa­ tion as a two-fisted, hard-fighting jury lawyer. “Hello, Governor,” said Ernest. “What can I do for you?” “Plenty,” said Blake. “Plenty to­ day. You know' that five thousand dollar fund I set up for you when you were 21? Well, I want it for a - little while — need some money in a hurry.” Ernest stopped on his way to the swivel chair behind his desk. “That ’ five thousand!” he ex­ claimed. “Why governor — you gave me that outright! ..I’ve made my plans on that—I—What do you want it for?” “Does that make any difference?” “Well — it might — the way I’m fixed.” “All right then, if I must say it. It isn’t everywhere I could go. I hap­ pen- to' need it in a hurry — The bank examiners are coming Mon­ day.” “The bank examiners,” said Ern­ est softly, and Blake saw the lines harden' round his mouth. “What: I mean, Ernest — I’m not in :'a position to tell you the details. I fell yiju I need it — that ought to be enough.” Ernest’ straightened. “Of course. But right is right. I’ve got my prin- “That daughter of Carter's — I saw you from the window when you met her just now. And you’re old enough to be her father/ She’s crazy about you. Everybody knows it." Blake smiled. “Well, Ernie,” he said. “I feel a bit flattered. Of course it’s only a passing notion, if it’s there at all; she’ll get over it mighty quick. But she’s a fine young woman, Ernest. Keeps house for her father now and has taken great care of him since her mother died.” "She’s too good to him,” Ernest snapped. “Better if she tried to get him to work out of his rut and make something of himself." Blake got up. “Don’t be so righteous, Ernest,” he said from the doorway. He walked back to the bank. It * j* - - r f - ~ i - f W - M ' BlMie tapped her shoulder. “Cheer up, Doris.

Ernie,” said he. He rose. “Wait a' minute, Governor," said Ernest. “Try to see it my way. I’m trying to do what’s right. I can’t go against my principles. You wouldn’t want me to do that. I’ve noticed things lately, Governor—and I’ve felt for a long time I ought to talk to you about them.” BlMce sat down. “Go ahead!” said he. Ernest put the tips of his fingers together. “Well, first, you’re too easy go­ ing, Governor. You’re not hard boiled enough for a banker. This be­ ing in a hole now proves it. Your borrowers know .you’ll always help them. You’ve got to get hard boiled.” Blake took a deep breath, and got up. ‘H ;\"All right, Ernest,” said he. “Be hard boiled! That’s that. The leop­ ard ought to change his spots. Much obliged.” He started for the door. •“Hold on! There are a couple more things, while we’re on it.” Ernest held up. a hand. “All: right,' Ernest,”! ‘ Blake told him. “Let’s have them.” CROSSWORD PUZZLE Horizontal I Humped ruminant 6 Lasso.-.11 Useless12 Disclosure 14 Conjimction 15 Friend of Pythias17 Youngsters . 18 Bounder20 Unusual 22 Cask23 On the apex of25 Sweetened sherry drink 27 Symbol for tellurium28 Bar used with a fulcrum30 Irritates32 Epochal34 Withered 35 Seaman38 Material used in tanning 41 Low jiote42 Lawfiil44 Name claimed by Naomi 45 Ethiopian title47 Painter’s stand49 Prefix: not50 To encourage52 Dogma54 Colloquial: mother55 Shallow sound (var.)57 Pertaining to the skin59 Gallops easily60 Swine inclosures Vertical 1 Assistant of a vicar2 By3 Poetic: among 4 Ardor5 Citrus fruit SFails tofollow suit 7 Nine BLikely Bolotloa la Nosk Issue.

Carter was gone. No one was there. Blake went over to the drawer by the cashier’s cage, where the revol­ ver was kept. He took it out and fumbled with it for a minute. Then he put it back. He went to his private box and took out a life insurance policy. He studied it a while and slipped it into, his pocket. He started for the street^ door. Blake found Tom Martin, the in­ surance man, in his office. He tossed the insurance policy to him. “I want to surrender that,” he said. “Just what is the surrender value?” Martin looked at it. “Five thou­ sand dollars,” said he. “A little over. But, Mr. Blake, you’ve been paying for this for Ernest for years and years. I couldn’t advise you to surrender it now — why look —let me explain.” He reached for pamphlets and tables. Blake stopped him. “Where do I sign?” he asked. “Here, Mr. Blake,” said Martin— "If you really insist.” “I really do,”- said Blake. “Ernest can take care of himself first rate now.” On Friday Martin brought the in­ surance check and Blake cashed it at Carter’s cage. After that he went into the vault. He came out in a minute and went to his office. Then he rang for Carter. Carter came in, bent, lined with worry, pale. “John,” said Blake. “The bank ex­ aminers will be here on Monday.” Carter’s hands closed. His fore­ head was wet. “Yes, Mr. Blake,” he said. Blake stood up. “It’s all right, John,” he said. “Don’t worry any more. I’ve just put that five thousand in the vault. Your cash will balance when they come.” Carter staggered and his face whitened. “You knew, Mr. Blake?” he fal­ tered. “Yes,” said Blake, “I knew. Of course I knew. It’s my business to know. And I saw how hard you tried to put it back, too.” Carter held one hand in the other to stop their trembling. “Oh, I’ve tried,” he said. “I’ve prayed. It wasn’t for myself, Mr. Blake. It was for Doris. She’s been so—brave—The doctor said there’s a spot on her lung—and she must go to a high dry place — and I— thought—” “All right, John,” said Blake. “All right. I’ve known all about that, too. Of course you can’t stay here— you can’t work in a bank any more —But you’ll resign after the exam­ iners O. K. everything. And I’ve got you another kind of a job—in Ari­ zona — I’ll tell you about it later. You can pay me back when you get on your feet. And Doris will be all right now. The air’s clear and dry in Arizona. In no time at all we’ll be hearing she’s married some fine, young Westerner.” Carter’s bps were moving. “Thank you — thank .you—” he was saying. “It’s the—the Mercy of God.

He put his hand in his pocket and dropped six cartridges on the desk. “Load that revolver again now, John,” he said. “I saw you looking at it the other day, and I thought I’d better—” Carter picked up the cartridges and turned to the door.

Artaasas : It Has Happened There Most of us thought it would never !happen. But it has. According to .the Associated Press, the House of !Commons on August 8 approved a bill giving the British government !authority to tell its people where ,'they must work and what they must !do. This means that the govern­ m ent may order men and women to do whatever job it pleases: coal mining, farming, fishing, anything. Moreover, it moans the government may choose the place where any man or woman must work. This is a drastic step. Why is individual freedom thus destroyed by a cotmtry with such a long rec­ ord of high devotion to the individ­ ual citizen and to freedom? The answer is simple. Two years ago a socialistic government embarked upon a campaign for government !management of leading industries in England. Things were in such a bad way, because of weakness from war, that the people permitted this. Crisis Upon Crisis The socialistic government relied upon nationwide sympathy and co­ operation. However, this lasted only a few weeks. Then as ab­ senteeism set in and productivity lagged, the whole system bogged down. The crisis came last winter, when a terrible coal famine came to that country with plenty of coal under - ground. Under socialism crisis thrives on crisis, and there were more to come. In these crises, it is easy for men to accept dis­ aster, if they think it will prevent more disaster. This is what has happened. In an apparent final resort to keep gov­ ernm ent management of industry from becoming a complete failure, !the British are taking this more !drastic step. Yes, in peace-time ;one of the greatest liberty-loving !countries in the history of the world ■has given its government author­ ity to draft, labor, and to tell each man and woman where to work and what to do. Bet’s Have Freedom Despite their great love of liberty, the British people have now found that loss of individual freedom fol- iows adoption of a government man­ aged economy, just as night follows .day. It leads to this every time. It is sad to see this great country, like others that have accepted the blandishments of socialism, willing­ ly give up the freedoms for which her people have shed blood through the centuries. A considerable number of our people are evidently inspired by for­ eign ideologies, and some are ask­ ing for government control of Amer­ ican industry. This step England is now taking is a real warning to all American workers that with government management of indus­ try there must surely come gov­ ernment dictation to workers. The workers, in the face of constant crisis, are told where to work and what to do. Seeing that these things point in every direction toward a totalitari­ an government, our people should make up their minds now that we do not want government -man­ aged economy. What is happening in liberty loving England is proof that such dictation cannot be avoided once government manage­ ment is adopted. Let us determine now that such a blight shall not fall upon the freedom loving land of America. Z O O X IN C GEORGE S. BENSON Pnsiicnt-HardiHg College Stateg. Artamas Business Tells a Story Time was when it was fashionable for everyone to talk about big busi­ ness and count over the gross and net sins of corporations. Of course, there were mighty good stories even then about our steadily rising stand­ ards of living. But the busybodies didn’t bother with those success stories, big or little. I have said that America is now beginning to assume her task in pub­ lic relations, that of selling her ways and her freedoms and her institu­ tions to people everywhere. I should like to say that some of our groups and institutions have special respon­ sibilities in this job. I think that labor does, as well as business. The task is important to agriculture, to tradesmen, to education, to the professions, and to civic minded folks in every walk. Certainly, la­ bor and industry are each so im; portant in our economic system* that they must be interested in re­ awakening the people to an appre­ ciation of America. A Report to Workers I should like to tell you about a company that is doing its part, there­ by shouldering its responsibility for this kind of public re-education. Somebody sent me a copy of a re­ port this company makes to its employees. The report answers questions employees want to know. The answers are frank, fair, and simply stated. There is no doubt the report has made its readers bet­ ter informed Americans. It did so to me. DAVlE BRICK COMPANY DEALERS IN GOOD COAL Day Pbooe 194 - Nigbt Pbone 119 Mocksville. N. C.

It is bad that his wages will not rev him to live in China and care f*> his family. Thevalueofthcsimnp-= that brought me his air mc.T li­ ter, amounting to $7,000, wou' make the $5,000 meal worth on’v two-thirds of the value of the post­ age.

Your Dollars This change has taken nlaoe si—- I was in China in 192$ to If"" Then, one American dollar, accor d­ ing to the rate of exchange, world buy only three or four Chinese do'- lars. While we do not have that kind of inflation in this country, America is actually moving slowly in that direction. Although American workingmen have the highest wages that they ever earned, they are complaining that they cannot buy much with those dollars. From 1920 to IS"! when American dollars had pr chasing power, an American worl- man could buy an automobile an could buy a home. Today he or probably buy neither, yet he has far more dollars than he had the Inflation does not help working peo pie. It burdens them. Raises Don’t Help - I wanted to buy a new automo bile this year. But when I founu that it would take in the neigh borhood of $2,000 to buy even an average car, I decided to have my old one overhauled and get along with it. However, the overhauling cost half as much as it used to cost to buy a new automobile. It’s hard to tell, under inflation, whether one is wise or foolish. Meats right now are very high. Yet, I understand that in some places both wholesalers and retail­ ers are trying to get by on the smallest margins they’ve ever had. Others are handling meat with no profit at all. You see, whether a man gets an adequate diet for his family depends on other things than how big a raise he gets from his employer. Raises do not help when there’s inflation. A Solid Economy If we would like to increase in­ flation and have more dollars in our pockets but be able to buy less with them, then we should encourage a high federal budget, high federa' taxes, and still higher wages. All these things have inflationary influ­ ence on our economy. If we wan a solid economy, where dollars will buy more and we can actually live better, then we must do these things: (I) Work for lower taxes, whic) would leave more in the purchasing stream and would stop discourse ing investment in new industries and new tools for workmen, (2) Oppose the high budget with extrav agant federal spending, and (:, Work for stable industrial relations Industry, labor, agriculture, and al other American groups should un­ derstand these facts.

I hope that some of them got the point. A movie actor had just remarked, dead-pan: “I’ve heard people say that we would have a more efficient govern­ ment without - Congress.” A very serious point was contained in that statement, which apparently struck spectators as a humorous Jibe at lawmakers, present and not present. It is somewhat of an American custom to poke fun at our elected officials. Some steam is released that way, like the blowing off of a safety valve. That’s all right. But that any sane American should sug­ gest doing away with Congress is no laughing matter. You might as well say that we ought to give up our democratic way of life, in the interest of greater efficiency. One would be equivalent to the other. But who wants an efficient tyranny? Our Safeguard I am going to say that I appre­ ciate congress. I am not ashamed to say it. Moreover, I am concerned that there are those who fail to rec­ ognize the essential dignity and worth of this branch of our govern­ ment. Out of the welter of politic?! turmoil in Washington, I think there is still room for a healthy res-cel for what our Congress does. And we must never forget that Congress represents the will of the peoo'e. of the majority. Congress is a mighty safeguard. When any Congressional session is over, try looking back over the record. It will usually surprise you how much was accomplished. Espe­ cially so, if you are one of those Americans who like to chant: “Why, oh why, doesn’t Congress do some­ thing?” Accomplished Much When the recent Congress ad­ journed in late July, final action had been taken on at least 17 major issues. This was an array of achieve­ ments, when you recall that this Congress was the first new Congress following the war. Action was taken on presidential tenure and succession, labor man­ agement relations, portal-to-portal pay, excise and social security taxes, National Science Foundation, continuation of the R.F.C. and the C.C.C., crop insurance, continuation of certain subsidies, Army-Navy unification, cashing of terminal leave bonds, executive reorganiza­ tion, continuation of first class pos­ tal rates, rent control, and termina­ tion of existing credit regulations. A Thankless Task This Congress was also economy- minded. It should be credited with saving between $2 and $3 billion for taxpayers, despite widespread “scare” tactics of a powerful and well-mobilized bureaucracy. Consid­ ering the fact that the American people already spend more for gov­ ernment-local, state, and national — than they spend for food, we should be grateful to an economy- minded Congress. Fateful problems will face this same Congress in its special session and the regular session to follow. Our sincere commendation should go to legislators for their efforts, and for their sincere public service. Their thankless but necessary per­ sistence will remain necessary as long as we wish to maintain this Republic. Uncle Sam Says ■ ymm. How would you like a fat raise? Dream stuff, you say? It in'*.

Be An “Engineer in Good Eating”—Do Home Canning! Simple Instructions Basel . on Seienee You may not have a degree as an engineer, Mrs. Housewife, but when you’re home canning you’re using scientific principles just as surely as a mining, chemical, electrical or other engineer. That is, if you fol­ low glass jar manufacturer’s instruc­ tions, for they are based upon scien­ tific discoveries made over a period of a century and a half. Back in Napoleon’s time, a Paris confectioner, Nicolas Appert, set out to find a method of- food preserva­ tion and win a 12,000-franc prize offered in 1796 by the EYench gov­ ernment. Napoleon, like Frederick the Great, believed an army travels on its stomach, and the folks at home got hungry and discontented too! Nicolas won the prize, after 15 years’ work, but his methods and equipment have been greatly im­ proved upon. He labored under many handicaps, not knowing a tempera­ ture beyond boiling is required for processing some foods and having to design his own glass jars. Not until 1860 did Louis Pasteur estab­ lish the fact that microorganisms are responsible for food spoilage. Four­ teen years later, an American, A. K. Shriver of Baltimore, invented the “retort” or “pressure” cooker. In 1858 John Mason patented the Mason jar with neck designed for receiving a screw type cap. The Mason jar with porcelain-lined zinc cap is an old reliable. Mason would probably be astounded by the 1947 cap for sealing the Mason jar. This new style cap is a two-piece metal affair with a Dome lid "which has sealing compound on the under side and is tested for seal by pressing on the center of the lid with the finger. Sealing with the Dome lid is made doubly sure by the new type metal band which bears down on the lid at three pressure points. Also reliable in seal is the light­ ning type jar with rubber ring, glass lid and wire bail. Many scientific experiments and jar improvements have perfected pro­ cesses for today’s home canning and it is upon them that instructions you will find in reliable home canning lit­ erature such as the Ball Blue Book are based. Follow these instructions and you become an “Engineer in Good Eating”—much to the benefit of your family’s health and increased pleasure at the table provided by de­ licious home canned foods.

C. R4 The tno*t beautiful Hfe in the world is that of a holy life. *‘Fol tow peace with all men. and holi. ness, without which no one shall see the Lord.” (Heb 12:14) I* this were not possible, then God through the Apostle Paul, Js re­ quiring of us the impossible. It would be unreasonable of God. - Of course apart from Him, His salva­ tion, love and matchless grace, it is impossible. However, with one's life trulv and unreservedly yielded unto Him, this is possible. Then, since it is possible, and sincere. God requires it of us, we may rea­ lize that a life of holiness is in­ deed a beautiful life, a noble and snblime life. The Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will beantify the meek with salvation.’’ (Psa. 140:4) Salvation, in the truest sense of term, and in the fullest degree, is regeneration, or the new hinh. and sanctification, of holiness It is that which pnrifies the heart, the mind the soul and the spirit ■ and as a consequence reveals itself in the outer life and conduct It makes one 10 shine along life’s pathway for Gad It takes away all ngly traits, temprament-s, char acterisrics, habits and principals, and puts into one’s' life that which is meek, kind, peaceful, lorelv. honest, trnthfnl, dependable, liber­ al, godly, noble, holy and sublime. Praise the Lord. Here Is a quotation from Cap tain D i vson: ‘A holv Iise is the only evidence a man can give that he has a IWni!, and not a mere dead faith. The essence of salva. tion is righteousness and holiness of life; and holiness is uot simpiv the life; and holiness is not simply tl,e life wnich Christ gives, bui the life wbi<-h He iives. If we are born again by the Holy Ghost there will be evidence of this new life about .s. aud our works will be the p oof at the living faith A true living faith must beget good worics. We Itiust. reme aiber that there is no such thing as conver sion or regeneration without a holy life.” This holy life begins in regene­ ration and is climaxed in sanctifi­ cation. fed and sustained by (hi wonderful means of grace that God provides for His dear child­ ren all along life's pathway. How beautiful n a holy life's pathway. How beautiful i« a holy life—a life hid with Christ in God! Who could object to such a Iifr- except the devil? O 'hat we had million? more »f such saims throughout the earth! Have Man Hunt Lakewood, N. J.— There was a man hunt in Lakewood over the week-end and llie nahel.ir girh- proclaimed it a sucres*. The occasion was a L^a-.i Year dance, on . n ice covered l..ke and the idea was to herd everv man with an unmarri-ed look onto the lake—for dancing not skating.

To our wav ot thinking, Demo­ crats.

Case Is Closed Some years ago the State Board of Education discovered a racket in a few Negro schools and no time was lost to put a stop to it. Under our law Negro teachers draw the same salaries as whites, and the pay is attractive to diem. Teacher assignment is based on attendance records and to make room for colored teachers these records were padded. As is re- called now, the State took sum- marv action against those found guilty, and because they had no political pull no outcry was raised in their defense, there was no ex­ oneration” and the matter was quickly forgotten. We want to say that so far as we are concerned, the Fritz case is closed, and we only hope the precedent set will not come up in the future to plague the State Board of Education or interfere with the harvest operation of our school system. And as a parting shot'we wish to make it plain that we have no: respect for jus­ tice tempered with politics. We also want to make a deep bow to Mrs. R. S.

This interest is shared by the So­ cial Security Administration. The Administration through its field offices issues Account Numbers to all employees applying therefor. What is the meaning of the Ac­ count Number? It means that a wage earner has an insurance ac­ count wrth the United States Go­ vernment—the Federal Old Age and Survivors Insurance provis­ ion, which is a national insurance plan for all workers in cnmmerce and industry. Its purpose is to pay a regular income when the wage earner is old and stops work or to his family if he dies. The monthly payments are based on wages. You have an important part in the system. You help the wage earner pay for this insurance. You report to the government the wa­ ges each worker earns by making your quarterly return to the Inter­ nal Revenue Department. Froin this report the Social Security Ad­ ministration gets the wage records it credits to each worker’s account. The Account Number is Ithe key to the whole system. It is the only guarantee that wages will be properly credited. Unless the wa­ ges are correctly reported, the wage earner’s account is going to be out of order until the mistake is corrected. Correct reporting means giving the name, wages, and account number of each em­ ployee. The Social Security Ad­ ministration, through the Internal Revenue Department, receives ap­ proximately 60 million wage items each quarter. The majority of these items can be posted to pro per accounts without investiga­ tion. The wage items that are incompletely reported, i. e., giving name and wages but NOT the account number or an impossible number, cannot be posted to the proper accounts without investi­ gating and securing the account number. You have until midnight, Jan, 31, in which to file your return for quarter ending Dec. 31, 1947. Make sure that you have the cor­ rect name and account number of each employee you had during the quarter before filing your re­ turn. In this way you save your­ self time and trouble and protect your employees and their families.

CaralinauJustice Out of Eastern North Carolina dur­ ing' the past several months has come an amazing series of news stories hav­ ing to do with the miscarriage of jus­ tice and the equities in soeial rela­ tionships. There was the dramatic story ,of the attempted kidnaping and lynch­ ing of “Buddy” Bush, young negro accused of attempted rape, and the subsequent failure of grand juries to indict any one of the seven white men implicated in the affair by the written confession of one of their number. Then came the case of the Ahoskie negro veteran who was denied the prize, an automobile, he won in a Kiwanis Cluh lottery at Ahoskie—an incident which created such a nation­ al uproar that the Kiwanians finally save the negro a new car. Too, from Eastern North Carolina came stories of brutality in the hand -1 ling of a recaptured prisoner by State Highway Patrol officers and others, nd the disgraceful aequittal of a preacher who, according to his own previous admission, as reported, se­ ll uccd a 13-year old orphanage in­ mate in his charge. Xow, from Harnett county comes i'w s that the two white men who Hlled one negro and wounded an­ other in that county over a month 0 have not as yet been placed un- ■I Cr arrest, despite rumors and aile­ rons that the law enforcement of­ ficers know who the white killers are. TVhat is the matter with Eastern Vorth Carolina? Have social tensions in that area become so strong as to Mind the eyes of justice with the '•lindfold of prejudice? Have the law officers in some of the towns and counties down that way missed their calling? Certainly, the State cannot toler­ ate the laxness in law enforcement which is reported to have prevailed for the past several weeks in Har­ nett county.

MOCKSVITXE. N. G. R UND Keyhole Congressman Reports WASHINGTON. — Congress wil enact another tax-reduction bill this session and the inside betting is that President Truman, this time, will sign it. In fact, it appears that Democrats may be outdoing Repub­ licans in the clamor for income tax relief. However, White House advisers insist that the measure finally adopted must provide genuine relief for lower-bracket taxpayers—chiefly through increased exemptions — to get the President’s approval. The treasury department meantime is rounding out a con­ fidential study on the budget out­ look for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1918, and June 30,1949, which dovetails nicely with plans of house ways and means committee Democrats to come out flatly for tax cuts this ses­ sion. House Democratic leadeis have kept it quiet, but there was some secret huddling during the holidays on proposed drafts of a Democratic tax revision bill. One reason for the mystery surrounding these strategy sessions is that ways and means Democrats don’t want to anticipate the White House. Highlights of Tax Picture Here are the highlights of the treasury’s confidential study on the tax budget outlook for the next two fiscal years: On the basis of current national Income, the treasury estimates that tax revenues for the present fiscal year, ending next June 30, may run as high as 44 billion dollars. This is $2,300,000,000 greater than the last estimate, made in September. Against this revenue, the treasury estimates that our (budget) expend­ itures will total around 37 billion dollars for the same period, includ­ ing $1,240,000,000 for foreign aid and a $1,700,000,000 cre'dit on our loan to Great Britain. Unless foreign aid spending runs greater than the antici­ pated $1,240,000,000, and if the Marshall plan (or a Republican substitute) doesn’t become ef­ fective before March 31, 1948, combined additional expendi­ tures for the 1948 fiscal year will be no greater than three billion dollars, the secret treasury study reveals. On the basis of these figures, treasury experts estimate conserva­ tively that our net surplus for the current fiscal year will be some­ where between four and five billion dollars, which would leave the door ajar for a substantial reduction in income taxes.... Livestock Slaughter Halted Despite strenuous protests from U. S. cattlemen against abandon­ ment of the livestock-slaughter cam­ paign in Mexico, which was aimed at stamping out foot-and-mouth dis­ ease there, there is no chance what­ever of its being revived. The department of agriculture has announced that the program, car­ ried on for almost a year under joint sponsorship of the U. S. and Mexican governments, would be halted immediately. “Tremendous economic and social impact on Mexicot' was given as the reason. TTiis was just a diplomatic way of not say­ ing that the campaign had brought Mexico close to a full- dress revolution. Since the dread malady was dis­ covered among northern Mexico’s vast herds of beef cattle in Decem­ ber, 1946, more than 600,000 infected or exposed animals — cows, bulls, oxen, sheep, hogs and goats—have been killed off. From the beginning, there were reports of fierce resist­ ance among owners in the more re­ mote regions, who protested that they needed their livestock and not the cash they received for surren­ dering them to slaughter. However, this was only a second­ ary factor in the situation which caused hasty suspension of the pro­ gram. Mexican government officials played politics with the compensa­ tion payments, so brazenly and on such a huge scale that the rural populations of four states were about to join forces in open revolt. * * * Battle for Margarine The margarine industry, long a stepchild of congress, which kow­ tows to the potent lobby of Uie com­ peting dairy products industry, will make another appeal for relief from the maze of red tape restrictions under which it operates. Besides heavy license fees and nuisance excise taxes on colored and uncolored oleo, margarine salesmen are saddled with trade practices that are vastly unfair. Unlike a butter salesman, an oleo salesman must have an advance order for every pound sold from his delivery truck. If he is stopped by a government inspector and cannot show orders for all merchandise on his truck, he is subject to a stiff fine. Many merchants who run short ol oleo have complained that they can; not refill their stock without this rigamarole, but the dairy lobby sees to it that congress takes no remedial action. Many Political Thrills Seen in 1948 Democrats, GOP Unafraid Of W allace Party Threat By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. WASHINGTON.—From the way things look to the newsmen whose beat stretches along that historic mile-and-an-eighth from Capitol Hill to the White House, politics in 1948 is going to be a rodeo—plenty of excitement for the audience, a lot of hard riding and tough spills for the performers. At this writing, nobody’s down-hearted. At the last rodeo I attended, there was a very funny funny-man who fell off horses and rode brahmas backwards and made wisecracks over the loudspeaker system (it was a very up-to-date rodeo not more than 2,000 miles from where the deer and the antelope play). There were also a number of very4»------------------------ good, very earnest contestants who ‘ Baukhage had learned their bucking and breaking a long ways from a drugstore or a Hollywood set. The funny - man himself was no tenderfoot when it came to fork­ ing, a bronc, but once in a while he got in the way of the real per­ formers. Since they weren’t rid­ ing for glory alone (the purses were fairly heavy), he incurred some displeasure from the regulars, if not from the spectators. This year the political field will take on a similar appearance. The owner of one of the sombreros tossed into the arena in December is going to cause considerable con­ cern to the rest. I refer, of course, to hard-rid­ ing Hank, the Iowa Whirlwind, who is no more afraid to ride bare-back than he is to ride bear-back. He isn’t so bad either with the vocal lariat when it comes to throwing as well as roping the bull. As the contend­ ers size up the situation with the aid of a lot of wishful thinking, Mr. Wallace is going to get in everybody's way but theirs. Certainly there is no gloom exud­ ing from the White House. Sure, said the President to us at a recent press-radio conference, the Demo­ crats were going to have a happy New Year, he already was. And stretching back for a long time, the presidential news conferences have almost bubbled. Once in a while, Mr. Truman would jerk a little when the reportorial needle hit a political nerve, but for the most part, these meetings, where the questions be­ come sharper and sharper as the Ides of November ’48 approach, have been a feast of wit .and a flow of soul. And there is no moaning at the bars where other Democrats gather; Wallace will drive all the liberals to active support of the Democrats, they’ll tell you; he will shear away the lunatic fringe of Democratic support; drain the party of the last tint of that which might incarnadine its record; will garner the middle- of-the-roaders who will feel less danger of contaminating their bal­ lots with a New-Dealish radicalism; it may mean Mr. Taft may be Mr. Truman’s opponent, and an easier battle can be fought and won against Taft, say the Democrats, than against other presidential hope­ fuls who might be better Repub­ lican vote-getters. And so on—you’ve heard the story before from many optimistic lips. If the Democratic tepee ex­ udes joy, the Taft wigwam shakes with cheery mirth. Rea­ sons are obvious. In a nutshell, Republieans say: The issue is left and right. The left is split. And so the rooster crows trium­ phantly without waiting for No­ vember dawn. Likewise, each hopeful favorite son finds something to cheer him. But the canny observers are plac­ ing no bets yet, and those who had their money down have had to do very little hedging. There is only one thing certain and that is: It’s going to be a grand show. ★ ★ ★ ★ Loj the Noble Horse The year 1947 ended with a new' sea serpent story which you un­ doubtedly read about. I mention it, because I myself saw a strange and terrifying beast as I walked to work one late December morning, and I believe the two tales worthy of repe­ tition. As to the sea serpent: The Asso­ ciated Press carried a signed story by the master of the steamship Santa Clara, J. Fordan, in which he described the monster sighted in the Atlantic 118 miles due east of Cape Lookout. He named the first and third mates and the navigation offi­ cer as witnesses. According to their testimony, the monster’s snake-like head was about two and one-half feet long, there was about 35 feet of cylindrical body some three feet in diameter visible. The water about the beast was stained red and the animal was thrashing around in apparent agony, causing the skipper to believe that the ship had cut it in two. The beast’s skin was “brown, slick and smooth, there were no protuber­ ances, fins or hair on the head, neck or visible parts of the body.’’ That’s tiie skipper’s story. Mine is equally terrifying. I actually saw in the early morn­ ing, moving down New Hamp­ shire avenue, a huge creature, whose body, like the skipper’s sea serpent, was without fins or protuberances, bnt unlike it, was covered with hair. The head was more than two feet long, the barrel-shaped body was sup­ ported on four long legs which made the creature higher when it threw up its head, much higher than a man. Its feet were not large compared to the great, powerful body, and they terminated In a great claw, or nail-like substance, which would give the creature terrible weapons of offense or defense. The teeth were large and blunt, and the mouth, though not large, plainly could in­ flict damaging, wounds. Human beings looked puny beside this creature which appeared as out of place on a Washington city street as a hippopotamus or an elephant. Strangely enough, it did not cause any great commotion except among the younger people who stared in wonder, obviously never having seen anything like it, except in pic­ ture books. It did pose considerable problems for motorized traffic. Horns honked, drivers jittered, back-seat orders thundered. Finally the monster turned off the street and went up an alley. That was a great relief to me. I knew what it was. I had even ridden one' when I was in the artillery, and later, but it was a shock to see a real live BQUUS CABALLUS in a city street. Glory, Jest And Riddles I submit the following as an IQ test to my readers. The answers will not be found on the following page: Can you tell a cormorant from a water turkey when they are so far away they look no bigger than a fly in custard pie? Did you ever see a loon trying to walk? , Did you know-that between Christmas and New Year’s Day, roosters crow, cows moo, horses whinny in the night, when other, wise they would be asleep? Do you know they DON’T? Can you tell by the feel on the line whether you have a catfish or a lazy trout on your hook? Do you know where to scrape the deepest hole in the ground when you have to roll up in your blanket and sleep al fresco? Would you rather spend a night in a rain-storm in a pup tent if you were camped in a pine forest, or crawl under the lowest branches, mattressed on a hundred years of pine needles, rolled up in a shelter- half? Could you plow the corners better with an old-fashioned plow or a new-fashioned trac­ tor? If a man talks “low-German,” does that mean he is talking a dia­ lect? Do the educated people in Eng­ land speak a language which would be more understandable to Shake­ speare than our "hill-billies” lingo?

NEW S REVIEW Truman Asks Tax Cut; Brazil Ousts AU Reds Whether President Harry Tru- man’s state of the union message to congress was “socialistic,” as Re­ publican partisans dubbed it, or “forthright and courageous,” as in the eyes of loyal Democrats, re­ mained a matter of opinion, but it was fairly obvious that in making it the President had cast a loving glance toward next November’s election day. He proposed a combination tax- cutting-and-raising device that man­ ifestly has no chance of passage in the Republican dominated congress but one that sounds good to a lot of voters. His plan, embodying tax-relief to the “little man,” would give each individual taxpayer an immediate $40 tax cut for himself and for each dependent. To offset that reduction in federal income he proposed that corporation taxes be raised by 3.2. billion dollars. Mr. Truman presented the scheme as a “cost of living” credit designed primarily to relieve the small tax­ payer. In a phrase certain to be quoted with relish by Democratic orators during the coming campaign, the President said he wants to keep revenue collections where they are and still help those who need relief to “buy the necessities of life.” Supplementing the tax proposals he called for a 75-cent-per-hour min­ imum wage, representing a 35-cent increase over the present 40-cent minimum. Although in the past he has favored raising the national minimum wage, the 75-cent figure was the highest fiat demand he has made. General tone of the President’s message to the joint session led most observers to believe that he was swinging his administration back to “a little left of center,” a point which generally is identified with New Deal philosophies. Some saw in the speech a per­ ceptible bid for the left-wing and liberal vote that Henry Wallace’s third party is threatening to take away from the Democrats. Republican reaction to Mr. Tru­ man’s speech was bitter and intense and the G.O.P. Went ahead more determinedly with its own tax-re­ duction bill. KNOCKOUT: Brazil Brazil, which severed diplomatic relations with Russia in a huff last October,, now has administered what looks like the coup de grace to Red activity within its own borders. It came in the form of a law, signed amid great furor by Presi­ dent Enrico Dutra, virtually abol­ ishing every vestige of Communist action in Brazil by removing all Communists from elective posts throughout the Vnation, including congressmen. The process of outlawing the Reds was far from a calm one, marked at times by dramatic displays of Latin- American verve and temper. Fist fights broke out frequently on the floor of the chamber of deputies, and at one point during the debate the session was suspended tempo­ rarily when three deputies pulled guns from their pockets and waved AND FURTHERMORE . . _ Taxes were not the only contro­ versial issue touched upon by Mr. Truman in his message to congress. He also asked for: 1. The once-rejected 10-point anti-inflation program with power to impose wage and price con­ trols and rationing. 2. Universal military training. 3. Authorization of the four- year Marshall plan. 4. Stronger and extended rent controls. 5. Public housing for Iow- income families and government action to cut building costs. 6. Modernization of farm price supports and brcader crop insur­ ance. 7. Extension of unemployment compensation, old age and sur­ vivors’ benefits, a national health plan and federal financial aid for education. 8. Admission of European refu­ gees into the U. S. 9. Statehood for Alaska and Hawaii. them at three Communist mem­ bers. No shots were fired. Outside the building private citi­ zens argued vociferously and ex­ changed blows. Leftist crowds shouted vengeance on the deputies and police sirens screamed through downtown Rio de Janeiro. It was, by and large, the most turbulent legislative session ever held in Brazil. Other nations could take an object lesson from Brazil’s achievement. Commimists can be frozen out of government activity even though the process may be noisy and painful. THIRD FORCE: Socialism? Latest voice from among the less potent nations of the globe to rise in protest of the cold battle between Russia and the U. S. was that of Leon Blum, French Socialist leader and short-time premier of France. He called for a “third force of the world” to stand between the Big Two, even as such a middle group has stood between the Commtmists and DeGaullists in France. Blum said the international third force would oppose American capi­ talism and expansion as well as Russian imperialism and extinction of human rights. That force, he pro­ posed, ought to be headed by France and Great Britain. Blum was espousing on a world­ wide basis an old and eminently workable theory — the balance of power. While Russia and America are battling it out on fairly even terms, Blum would have the two lesser nations step in to take control of the slight power balance that is left over and thus possibly be able to steer a course more to their liking. Between Russia and the U. S., said Blum, “there is room for na­ tions which want at the same timq personal liberty and collective econ­ omy, democracy and social jus­ tice.” It was another plea for a middle course, and to Blum a middle course meant Socialism, W E T A N D D R Y Factions Fight Over Statistics Those irreconcilable enemies, the wet and dry forces in the U. S., fought out the legal liquor question in 769 local option elections in 21 states last year, then went at each other hammer and tongs in a battle of statistics. Distilling industry spokesmen claimed that 1947 brought “the first wet gains since repeal.” Prohibition groups countered that the past 12 months produced new victories for their campaign to dry up the country by taking one com­ munity at a time. Outcome of the statistical fight may never be clearly defined be­ cause the wets used population fig­ ures to back up their claims while the drys counted geograpiucal areas. A net gain of about 150,000 per­ sons in the “wet population”—those living in the areas where sale of hard liquor is legal—was reported by the Distilled Spirits institute. It said it has official figures from state governments showing that the steady dry progress of the past 14 years was halted and even reversed in 1947. “In 1945,” said a ' spokesman, “local option elections dried up areas in which 311,293 Americans lived. In 1946 there was a gain in the total dry population of 285,309. But this year, the tables were turned and the wet population showed an increase for the first time since 1933.” However, Mrs. D.

I Mrs. Colvin estimated that the number of legally dry areas “jumped about 500” during the year as a result of local option elections. Miss LindIey said the Anti-Saloon league had not yet completed its survey of liquor election results, but added that a preliminary report on 15 states showed a net gain of 259 dry communities. The opposing factions were agreed on only one point—that the current year would bring more hard-fought battles in states, counties, town­ ships and wards on the question of local prohibition. j THE DIFFERENCE between success and failure is the differ­ence between turnin’ up your- sleeves at work and turnin' up your nose. »5 .Md Mn.

Looking back it seems to have been a combination of suspen­ sions by Happy Chandler, federal probes, wild swings by Larry Mac- Phail, Big Pour adjournments and appeals to the public to eat Tues­ day’s chicken pie on Thursday. Washington abandoned the gold standard and substituted creamery butter. Harry Truman got a spaniel when what he needed was a blood­ hound. *___ Elizabeth and Philip got married, thus lifting 1947 out of the complete flop class, putting romance, senti­ ment and love above spheres of in­ fluence, vindictive speeches and general hatreds. For a brief mo­ ment the world took the shuttle back to Fairy Tale Heights. *_ Edward Pauley took a high federal office with the distinct un­ derstanding anything of importance would be kept from him. Elliott Roosevelt sold, for one dollar each, Christmas trees that his pop had planted years ago. This resulted in a nationwide wish that Elliott was In the meat and egg business. ♦ _ Henry Wallace developed a type of corn never developed before by grafting an ear of hokum with the stalk of common native baloney. General Electric produced artificial snow. General Eisenhower devel­ oped artificial reluctance, General Marshall developed artificial hope and Marshal Stalin developed arti­ ficial logic. The all-hot went to 20 cents. A way was found to make hamburgers out of everything ex­ cept meat. *___ Two young fliers flew around the world in one-motor airplanes but didn’t get much pub^city due to the fact they didn’t crash. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, two oth­ er fliers, flew around a congres­ sional committee and crashed abruptly, thus getting more public­ ity than they desired. Tojo said the Japanese war was his own idea and that the emperor thought it was a movie until the fighting had been on for two years. ♦_ The 1947 Oscar for Audibility went to Vishinsky, who at no time dur­ ing the 365 days of the year found anybody else even close to right. China fastened her grip on chaos, corruption and cockeyed economics. John L. Lewis said “We dis­ affiliate,” proving that he was either out of gas or trying out for Mr. Hush. The egg became a lux­ ury. More baseball pitchers were used in the world series than m any full season on record. Football was developed to a point where the var­ sity became obsolete and not even the officials could tell the players without a scorecard. * _ Everybody in Washington wrote a book. “Forever Amber” won the 1947 prize for unnecessary expense. Chick Luckman stepped on a cake t of bis own soap in Washington. A man acting strangely in the hills of the Ozarks attributed his condition to the fact he had not been named on any list of wheat speculators.♦ Satira got 15 years from a Havana court which, after hearing the com­ plete battle story, evidently decided that responsibility for sinking the Maine had at last been fixed defi­ nitely. Henry Wallace promised a century of peace and plenty. It was quite a year.... Heniy Does Ii % Henry Wallace’s hat1 is in the ring. This gives America a preview of 1948 weird millinery. •__ Wliilc millions of Americans saw the New Year in right, Hank saw it in left. * Henry has tried all the parties out for size and found them all too small for him. So he rolls his own. *___ No old-fashioned orthodox meth­ ods for him! He holds his conven­ tion in a microphone, gets his dele­ gates out of the loudspeaker, pre­ sents bis own candidacy, grabs the banner “Wallace Is for Wallace” and stages a stampede down the aisles between foggy paragraphs.•_ He says he has traveled all over America “up and down and back and forth.” This is the first use by any candidate of the pogo-stick with motor front and rear. * He takes his stand for abundance via radio hookups, peace through a wider use of sleeping tablets and security through the use -of the blindfolds and the earlaps.

I Old and New Cookie Favorites Rank High For Snack Purposes Do you like to have people drop­ ping in just to be neighborly? Do you have youngsters who bring their friends home often? Then you’ll want to have the cookie jar well stocked at all times with old favor­ ites and new. A cup of hot chocolate and a cookie mean something to every youngster, espe­ cially when the weather is bit- ingly cold; and it also means something very special - to your own friends who may just happen to drop in. Spread ytfur friendliness and cheer in this way with others and you’ll be a happier person. It’s easy to have cookies on hand if you select those that are quick to fix and easy to keep. You’ll feel a lot easier about inviting people in if there’s always a snack or two ready.

Leftover breads, rolls and crack­ ers may be toasted and served with spread. If they are very hard and old, have them thoroughly dry or toasted and then put through the food chopper for bread crumbs. The best way to keep lettuce is to wrap it in waxed paper and place it in the refrigerator unwashed. It is likely to turn brown if it is washed. Soured milk and cream may be used to make gravy for meats, such as veal. Also use them for baking breads, cakes or cookies. Hog Mange Causes Average Loss of $2 New Insecticide Proves Effective in Control Common mange of hogs is another Widespread disease that has yielded to the results of animal health re­ search. The U. S. department of agriculture says the average losses from mange probably amount to $2 a head. This figure covers the loss from stunted growth, delay in fat­ tening, occasional deaths and dock­ age when mangy hogs are mar­ keted. The effective weapon against mange is benzene hexachloride, fre­ quently referred to "as “666.” In Nebraska tests this newly-discov­ ered insecticide was so effective it eradicated mange with one treat­ ment. Not only did it eradicate mange — it also got rid of lice. This makes the old mange treat­ ments obsolete. In the Nebraska tests, crude ben­ zene hexachloride (a wettable pow­ der) was mixed with water (10 pounds powder in 100 gallons) and sprayed on the hogs. One objectionable feature of the crude benzene hexachloride is its terrific odor. This odor is not present to any marked degree in commer­ cial hog oils prepared by use of a solvent which takes the active in­ gredient (the gamma isomer) out of the crude benezene hexachloride and leaves behind the ineffective in­ gredients—the ones that have the disagreeable odor.

First treatment for cattle grubs should be made early in winter, as soon as the tell-tale bumps appear on the backs of animals. Several treatments a month apart will be necessary. Use a cattle grub dusl containing Wk per cent rotenone. The current shortage of feed makes it important to do continuous culling in the laying house. Dairy cows lose a lot of energy pulling through heavy mud in the bam lots. Lost energy means less milk. Paved lots that take cows out of the mud soon pay for them­ selves.

Snyder Com­ mits Suicide The entire town was shocked Thursday morning shortly after 10 o’clock when it was learned that Henry Snyder, 65, a resident of this city for 40 years, had shot himself to death with a pistol at his home on South Main street. Mr. Snvder had been in bad health for several years and sold his store and service station re­ cently. County coroner Dr. Garland V. Greene, declared the case a sui­ cide, and no inquest was deemed necessary. Following a shot, Mr. Snyder’s body was found on the floor in his home with a pistol lying near the body. Mr. Snyder is survived by his wife, two daughters, Mrs. Learv Craven, of this city, and Mrs. M. H. Wilcox, of Charlotte; two half- sisters and three grandchildren. Funeral services were held at the home at 3:30 o’clock Friday afternoon, with Rev. R. M. Har dee officiating, and the body laid to rest in Rose cemetery with Jr Order and P. O. S. of A. honors. Your Health De­ partment We have been urging parents to bring their children to the Health Department to have them vaccina­ ted against common communica­ ble diseases. These vaccinations are free, will take very little of your time, and offer adequate pro­ tection against serious childhood diseases and dangerous complica­ tions in future vears. Yesterday I went into a home in Davie County and saw a little pale four-year-old boy lying on a couch. When I inquired about him, his mother told a story of vhooping cough a year ago which left the little fellow in such a wea­ kened condition that now he is an easy prey to colds and other respiratory diseases. This moth er’s trouble could have been a- voided and the child’s health pro­ tected by a simple vaccination for whooping cough. Do you have a child in your home over four months old who has not been protected against diphtheria and whooping cough?

SPENCER Russ Van Hosen was late but feel­ ing good, with the check from an­ other car sale tucked in his pocket He walked in at the back door. Pat was stirring something at the cup­ board. She heard him, but didn’t glance around. Russ squeezed her shoulders and kissed her, then waited hopefully. Pat didn’t respond. After a minute Russ turned away and walked on into the living room. So Pat was still sore. Well, one thing was cer­ tain; the next peace move would have to come from her. He sat down and reached for the sport page. Golf was opening at the Wyaconda Sunday. Well, they prob­ ably wouldn’t go now; they probab­ ly wouldn’t go anywhere. Lately, it seemed, they’d been quarreling all the time. It had begun this time as usual, with a quick sizzling flash of Pat’s Irish temper. One of those brief flash-ups which usually ended with little damage done. Only this one hadn’t ended yet; it was still drag­ ging on. Well, let it drag! Maybe by the time it was over Pat would have learned to keep that streak of fighting Irish temper down. Pat came in from the kitchen. ‘‘Russ Van Hosen,” she said sharply, “put that paper down!” “All right.” Russ knew what Pat wanted — to carry on from where they stopped last night. “I want to know,” Pat said tight­ ly, “just why you left the party with that Gertie Hale last night!” Russ’ jaw grew stubborn. “I told you: I went out to start her car, that’s all.” “It certainly took you a good long time . . . Where was her husband —why didn’t she have him start it?” “I don’t know — he was some­ where around, I guess. Anyway, I had sold her the car.” “Yes,” Pat said, “two years ago —before I’d even met you. .. . Russ, are you getting a little tired of me?" Russ groaned. Pat knew better, of course. AU she wanted was a row. Maybe he had spent too much time with Gertie, but what of it? What about Hal Kirk last week? Pat had asked him to stop over and see her on his way in to Chicago. Talk about old pals! “WeU?” Pat insisted. Russ turned back to his paper. “I’ve said aU I have to say.” Pat started to speak again, then stopped. Over the paper Russ saw her face tighten. “AU right,” she said quietly. Russ watched her walk across the room and begin to climb the stairs. He Ustened, and after a mo­ ment he could hear her moving about in their bedroom above. Do­ ing what? he wondered. After ten minutes he went to the foot of the stairs and caUed. “Pat!” No answer. “Pat!” he called again. Pat was coming down the stair­ way; she had on her hat and coat. She carried her bag in her hand. “Pat,” Russ demanded, “where are you going?” “Why,” Pat answered coldly, “should you care?” Russ studied her face. She was bluffing, of course; threatening to leave. WeU, two could bluS. “That’s - right,” he said, “why should I?” “I’m going back to work for Hal, if you want to know.” A Uttle stab went through Russ’ heart. "Simply because of Gertie Hale?" “Not entirely. . . . Russ, we sim­ ply can’t go on fighting aU the time.” “You know," Russ said evenly, “I’ve been thinking that same thing.” ' Pat’s Ups whitened again. “So that’s settled. . . . I’U need some money,” she said. Buss took out his billfold. It held three fives and a ten. He offered her the bills. Without looking at them Pat shook her head. “That’s not enough,” she said. “I’m taking the next plane at the airport.” Russ was sure now that she was stalling, giving him a chance to beg Russ swaUowed against the pain­ ful aching in his throat. What a fool! To think their little spats had mat­ tered — as if every couple didn’t have them during their first year. . . . Maybe even now, if he should caU the airport— The clock struck ten, booming through the awful emptiness of the house. Russ grabbed the phone; the plane left at ten. Feverishly he dialed the number. “Airport? . . . Listen, has the plane — It’s gone?” The silence of the house beat against his ears. He couldn’t stand it here; he had to get out, do some­ thing. Russ started for the front door, then remembered it was rain­ ing. His raincoat was in the closet off the kitchen door. The closet was dark; his search­ ing arm knocked down a package, a long package that clinked as it fell. He dragged it into the light. Rnss took out his billfold. It held three fives and a ten. He offered her the bUls. Without looking at them Pat shook her head. her to stay. If he gave in this time he’d have to give in always. The stubborn lines of his jaw hardened. Taking the car check from his pock­ et he endorsed it with his pen. “This is on Conway & Company,” he said; “you can cash it anywhere in the state.” Pat’s cheeks went fiery red. Her voice was low, but it trembled. “Russ Van Hosen, I could murder you! Give me those bills and let me go!” Russ said nothing. He watched her back the car out onto the drive. Not until then did full realization come over him. He had held firm; he had won a moral victory. But Pat was gone. Russ walked slowly back into the living room. He was still dazed, unable to believe it. Ten minutes passed, a half an hour. Then memo­ ries began to rise and choke him, a hundred memories of the swell times they’d had together— From that first day when they’d met at the golf course. They’d played together and he’d beaten her, in spite of the ribbing she’d given him over his mis-matched patched-up clubs. He’d been saving to buy a new set — but he’d bought her a ring instead. If there were only some way to get her back— CROSSWORD PUZZIf HorizontaJ I An arm support 6 Squirt <var.)11 Book of the Old Testament12 Bunk (slang)13 Variety of willow14 Oil of rose petals 15 Foot-like part 16 Medieval b o afISFuss 19 Pennies 21 To register 24 Announce28 Sacred pictures (Russ.

It contained a set of perfectly matched clubs. So that was it! That was why she had had Kirk stop there. To get a present —for him. AU these months, Pat had been scrimping on her clothes, pinching, saving— What a heel—WHAT A HEEL—he had been! A sound from behind startled him, the turning of a latch. He whirled. Pat stood in the doorway. Pat’s eyes were blazing; her cheeks were on fire. “Russ Van Hosen!” She stamped her foot, and it shook two bright tears out on her cheeks. “Russ Van Hosen, I COULD MURDER YOU!” “Honey,” Russ gasped. “Honey- girl!” “Don’t honey me! For a half hour you’ve let me sit out there in the drive. In the rain! W aiting............ for you to come out and get me. But you wouldn’t. Oh, how I hate you! Instead you waited until I had to give in myself — humbling my pride ” Suddenly Pat’s voice broke. Her arms went around him. “Oh, Russ, I don’t care, what you did. But say you love me—that you’U always love me! . . . Because, I love you so!” Russ didn’t answer; he' didn’t want to answer. AU he wanted was the assuring feel of her in his arms. “Russ,” Pat was sobbing, “even while we were quarreling I loved you. If you could only forgive that streak of Irish in me—” “I can,” Russ said humbly, “if you can overlook a streak of stub­ born Dutch.” Shoes Require Special Care in Wet Weather Shoes often suffer from wet weather. Once soaked they may never look as weU or fit as com­ fortably unless they are properly dried and cared for. Extension clothing specialists say that wet shoes should be taken off as soon as possible. Leather is weak 'when it’s wet. Wearing wet shoes may puH them out of shape and cause breaks and other damage. Wet shoes should be stuffed with soft paper or absorbent cotton to take up moisture. Never use tension shoe trees because they may stretch the leather out of shape. Instead of drying the outside of shoes by rubbing, which may roughen the leather, pat with a soft cloth. When the inside moisture is absorbed, re­ move the stuffing and let the shoes dry slowly away from the heat. Fast drying with heat makes leather shrink, harden or crack. As the shoes dry, clean them with saddle soap. Follow this with a little sulfonated castor oil rubbed in by hand. This treatment keeps leather soft and pliable. Work or play shoes that do not need polishing may be softened and made to resist mois­ ture by rubbing them with beeswax, tallow, wool grease or petroleum jelly. Well-oiled shoes not only turn off moisture but also last longer. Outdoor work or children’s shoes may be softened after getting wet by rubbing them with warm—not hot—neat’s foot oil, castor oil or tallow. Leather soles can be made mois­ ture resistant by setting the shoes In a pan of just enough warm off to cover the soles. Let them stand in this 15 minutes, taking care not to get the heels in the oil, for oil rots rubber. I SPEAKS - I IrnIPT Iniorr.lio^U^r™UillUn Sunday School Lessar,* p ll By IOIIIF D NEftTON. D D SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 53:4-6; Matthew1:21; 5:17; 20:26-28; Luke 19:1-10; Hebrews 4:15, 16.DEVOTIONAL READING: Isaiah 53: 1-12. His Work of Salvation Lesson for February I, 1948 Dr. Newton PROFESSOR WILLIAM JAMES was once asked to give a defini­ tion of Christianity. He replied, “I doubt if there is a satisfactory defi­ nition of Christian­ ity, but I can give you an example of it — Dr. Phillips Brooks.” Our Iesspn for Sunday tells us many things about Jesus, his work of salvation chiefly. But before we can understand what he does, we must look again at who he was and is. We be­ gin with Isaiah 53:1-12. Who can read those majestic words without tears? And then we come to Matthew 1:21, “And thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.” Then go on to read Matthew 5:17-28, Luke 19:1-10, and Hebrews 4:15, 16. The key verse, it seems to me, in Sunday’s lesson is Luke 19:10, "The Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.” Hold to this key, and every door will open in this lesson. JESUS HELPS ZACCHAEUS JN THE first ten verses of the 19th chapter of Luke we have the fas­ cinating story of Jesus calling Zac- chaeus down from the tree, forgiv­ ing his sins, and entering into his house. The disciples complained that Jesus had gone to lunch with a man that was a sinner. It was then that the Master declared, “The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Zacchaens is but an illustration of what Jesus seeks to do for every man. He has not come to save a few, but “whosoever will.” He will not force himself upon any man, but he waits in hope of sav­ ing every man. The “worst” boy in your commu­ nity may be saved — will be saved — if only he will do as Zacchaeus did, come to Jesus, just as he is, confessing his sin and believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. HOW JESUS CHANGES PEOPLE JESUS saved Zacchaeus by for- J giving his sins and putting a new attitude in his heart. He had harmed many people, or at least they thought he had. They would not for­ give him. He may not have asked them to forgive him, but when he met Jesus and was changed by the re­ deeming grace of the Saviour, he proposed to restore fourfold wherever he may have WTonged anyone. More than that, Zacchaeus offered to give the half of his goods to the poor. He gave con­ vincing evidence that he was a changed man. So will every man who believes In Jesus. But we must remember this, Zac- chaeus bared his soul to the Saviour in repentance of his sins and be­ lieved on him as the Son of God be­ fore he manifested a changed atti­ tude. THE PURPOSE OF JESUS n ECALL again the words of the angel to Joseph, “Thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.” It was to save sinners like Zacchaeus that Jesus came down from heaven and died on the cross. That was and is his purpose. “He went about doing good, for God was with him,” Acts 10:38. We shall never understand the work of Jesus until we come to see him at work in every age and amongst all mankind to do the will of the Father in saving any and all who will come unto him in faith believing. "SO SEND I YOU” JESUS calls upon you and upon " me and upon every follower of his to accept as the central purpose of our lives this mission of winning lost souls unto him. “As the Father hath sent me, so send I you.” I sat in a boat with two prom­ inent business men, fishing In a private lake one afternoon last No­ vember. Mr. Asa G. Candler of Atlanta and I were guests of Mr. Carr P. Collins of Dallas. We were at his Wild Briar farm, a few miles from Dallas. We were talk­ ing about the plight of the world. Mr. Collins said: “Vvhat is money worth if we think of it apart from the purpose of God? Until we come back to the words of Jesus, ‘So send I you,’ we cannot hope to improve the sorrowful plight of our frightened day and genera­ tion. AU men are lost until they come to know him as Saviour.” Let this testimony of one of God’s gentlemen be heard and heeded by toymen and preachers alike, and fear will give way to faith, and the kingdoms of this earth will become the ldngdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. * * * (Copyright by the Internationa/ CouaeiI ot Religious Education on delta// of 40 Protestant denominations.

J r ltn s a s Shall America Follow? Among all the postwar nations, no !Countries have so quickly restored their productivity without damage 'to standards of living as have Can- jada and the United States. These two countries have restored produc- Itivity to the 1940-41 level, and in !many industries have surpassed [this level. It is no coincidence that a ■recent New York Times 22-nation ,survey showed that except in Can- ;ada and the United States, the trend jis toward government management Iof industry. ; Countries that are exchanging their freedoms for government con­trols are not making good postwar records. In general, they are the countries that are cryin? the loudest for help from outside. Those nations which desire to turn everything over to the government for complete con­ trol and management are the very !countries that are slipping back­ ward. Still, the trend is in that very jdirection, toward government man­ agement. Public SIust Dec-tfe Shall America ultimately follow this trend? In my opinion, the pub­ lic in this country has not yet de­ cided that issue. Timre are some voices crying loudly for government !management. Even our Attorney !General points his Pinrter at Ameri- jcan industry and accuses it of being !responsible for hi \<h prices. Political maneuvers may please c'titical seo- Iple and get votes, but in maxine !industry unpopular the way is paved lor replacing our free enterprise system. As an educator. I favor that sys­ tem which will provide the highest ^standards of living for the masses of the American peoole. If govern­ ment management of our industries would provide higher wages, more productivity and greater purchasing ■power for each dollar spent, then certainly I would be in favor of it. Actually, our system of private en­ terprise has put America far ahead of other nations that Mve tried any­thing else. Act With Wisdom There are other dividends offered by the American Way. We have !freedoms. We can work at what we !please, where we choose. We can speak our minds, assemble in groups as we care to. These free­ doms and other liberties we did not have under the control of despotic ,and dictatorial governments in pre­ vious centuries. Why, ever, should ;we want to follow a trend that leads :us backward, toward new despotism and loss of personal freedoms? The experience of England should .make us pause and think soriouslv. JThose freedom-loving people have : not found government management ;an asset. Their coal production has been extremely disappointing under : government management. Ration- Iing has become more and more : severe. Burdens of the people have 'become more and more heavy. To- Jday1 the very future of England is !threatened by strict government !regulation and management of in- idustry. I In this dark hour, Englishmen 'should study their own history. They ■will find that whenever their individ- :ual freedoms were greatest, it was jthen their prosperity was the most !genuine. If we in America think !soberly and act in our best inter- >sts, we will act with wisdom to !preserve the fundamental patterns !of our economy: the right of pri­ vate ownership of property and the freest possible exercise of private ,management of our entire economy.

PACT FOR PEACE By Mrs. Wendell WilIkie Two and a half years ago, when newsreels exposing the unbelievable horrors of Nazi concentration camps were shown in theatres throughout the United States, a single thought came into the minds of all of us— “This must never happen again!” We now have the opportunity to. put this conviction into action by' supporting the United Nations in its i protests against such barbarism. The . UN Secretariat has finished drafting ■ the Convention for the Prevention j and Punishment of Genocide, the de- ; liberate wiping out of a race or group | of human beings. Under the terms of the Convention being considered by the General Assembly at Lake Success, individual countries would be given the power to seize and punish any criminals guilty of genocide who are captured i in their territory. An International' Criminal Tribunal, similar to the Nuremberg Tribunal, may also be set up to punish flagrant cases of the crime. There can be no question in our minds as to the vital need for this pact. The persecution of minorities is.like an infectious disease; it is seldom confined to a single group of victims. In Germany, Hitler did not stop with the persecution of the Jews. One by one. Catholics. Protestants, trade unionists and all liberal Ger­ mans were suppressed by the Nazis. But here in 'America we have al­ ways felt the necessity for protecting the rights of minorities and for the strengthening of thoir bayic human rights. Wendell Wilikie I think very aptly expressed this thought when he said: ' “It has always impressed me that, quite apart from any reasons of hu- Mrs. Wendell Willkie manitananism or justice or any sen­ timent regarding the protection of the weak by the strong, it is only common sense to safeguard jealously the rights of minorities. For minori­ ties are rich assets of a democracy, assets which no totalitarian govern­ ment can afford. Dictatorships must, of necessity, fear and suppress them. But within the tolerance of a democ­ racy, minorities are the constant spring of new ideas, stimulating new thought and action, the constant source of new vigor.” We cannot afford to let down now. even though the wartime pictures have faded somewhat from memory iEathur we must tell our represen­ tatives to give their immediate, full support to the passage and enforce­ ment of the Convention to Outlaw Genocide, and must encourage others to do likewise.

Be An “Engineer in Good Eating”—Do Home Canning! Simple Instruetions Based on Science You may not have a degree as an engineer, Mrs, Housewife, but when you’re home canning you’re using scientific principles just as surely as a mining, chemical, electrical or other engineer. That is, if you fol­ low glass jar manufacturer’s instruc­ tions, for they are based upon scien­ tific discoveries made over a period of a century and a half. Back in Napoleon’s time, a Paris confectioner, Nicolas Appert, set out to find a method of food preserva­ tion and win a 12,000-franc prize offered in 1795 by the French gov­ ernment. Napoleon, like Frederick the Great, believed an army travels on its stomach, and the folks at home got hungry and discontented too! Nicolas won the prize, after 15 years’ work, but his methods and equipment have been greatly im­ proved upon. He labored under many handicaps, not knowing a tempera­ ture beyond boiling is required for processing some foods and having to design his own glsss jars. Not until I860 did Louis Pasteur estab­ lish the fact that microorganisms are responsible for food spoilage. Four­ teen years later, an American, A. K. Shriver of Baltimore, invented the “retort” or “pressure” cooker. In 1858 John Mason patented the Mason jar with neck designed for receiving a screw type cap. The Mason jar with porcelain-lined zinc cap is an old reliable. Mason would probably be astounded by the 1947 cap for sealing the Mason jar. This new style cap is a two-piece metal affair with a Dome lid which has sealing compound on the under side and is tested for seal by pressing on the center of the lid with the finger. Sealing with the Dome lid is made doubly sure by the new type metal band which bears down on the lid at three pressure points. Also reliable in seal is the light* ning type jar with rubber ring, glass lid and wire bail.
