Dear Jesas, I Am
Tired Today
Rev. W. G. laenhonr. High Point. N. C. R4
Dear lesus, I am tired today
And need a little rest.
So let me go to Thee. I pray
And lean upon Thy breast,
And feel Thy loving arms enfold
About my weary heart.
Until Thy grace of whiich I'm told
W 'th strength to me impart.
Dear Jesus, I am tired today;
My path has been quHc steep;
I haven’t idled time awav
Nor slepi a lazy sleep;
But Satan’s hosts have fought me
hard
To bring about defeat;
And now I come, though battle*
scarred,
To rest at Thy dear feet.
Dear Jesus, I am tired today;
My patience has been tried;
And now tbe foe slips up to say,
"Your Lord you have denied."
But Jesns I have owned Thy name;
I ’ve stood for truth and right:
Though if for aught I am to blame
Remove it from Thy sight.
Dear Jesus, I am tired today, ,
Yet happy in Thy work;
I ne'er went in the field to plav.
Nor ny duty shirk;
So let me nestle to Thy side
Just as a little child.
And in Tbv gracious love confide.
Thou Saviour meek and mild.
Dear Jesus, I am tired today.
But bless Thy holy name.
It’s sweet to live with Thee alway
And share love’s holy flame.
And know there waits for every
sonl
Who lives to do Thy will,
A rest that lasts while ages roll
And none grow tired and ill.
Regimeniation
And Crime
British leaders, becoming wor>
ried over increasing crime and in
venile delinqncncv in their country,
are launching a drive to combet tbe
distressing trend and, reaching
down to fundamentals, are propos
ing to harness it with a drive for
moral values, honesty and truth,
fulnesc.
And to help the couse on its way.
the Labor government is being ur
ged to relaxfthe multitude of eon-
trols and regulations wbich. it is
asserted, are largely responsible
fur tbe decline in standards of
honesty, which formerly were very
high in the country.
In the opinion of the most re
sponsible citizens, the enormous in
crease in regulations, co itrols and
laws is undermining respect for the
law. Thus regimentation leads to
lawlessne s and erime.
Tbe assumption is reasonable It
seems difficult enough for many
people to obey the ten command,
ments. As laws multiply the temp
tation. and sometimes the neces
sity, to disregard them becomes
habit-forming. If one can break
one law with impunity, why not a.
noiher— and still another? Chil
dren observe their parents circam-
vent rules and regulations laid
down by authorities and being imi.

When government attempts to
regulate the people to an excess it
cultivates ground in which law
iessness flourishes.
The best governed people are
the least governed people.
The British problem is some
thing to keep before our own po.

Disappointed
A SUBURBANITE sitting at his window one evening casually
called to his wile: "Ttiere goes that
woman Bin Jones is so terribly in
love with.”His wife, in the kitchen, dropped
a cup she was drying, hurtled
through the door, knocked over a lamp, and craned her neck to look
out fte window.“Where?” she panted.“There,” he pointed, “that woman,
with the tweed coat, on the corner.” "You idiot,” she hissed, "that’s
his wife.”“Yes, of course,” he replied.
A Late Arrival
_ Young Angus McTavish was ob
serving his birthday, and his father
decided to celebrate the occasion by taking him for a trolley ride. Stepping in, he handed the cnnduc-
tor 15 cents for one full, one half
fare.
The conductor seemed dubious.
“How old is the boy?”
“Well, this is his tw'elfth birthday,” admitted McTavish, “but he
wasn’t born until late aflernonn.”
SHIRT TALE“Is this the laundry?” the irri
tated customer shouted into the tele
phone. “Well, you sent me a batch of very edd handkerchiefs instead
of ray shirt”“Them ain’t handkerchiefs.” re
plied the laundry, “that's your
shirt.”
PTEOTECHNICS
Little Susie’s hair cracked, as her mother was combing it.
"Why does it crack?” the child asked.“Because it has electricity in it.”
“Gee,” ejaculated the modem little miss, "we’re sure in the groove.
I got electricity, Grandpa’s got gas on his stomach, and Daddy’s all

SILLY JUDGE
Judge: “So you were playing
poker?” I
Gambler: “Yes, sir, but not for
money.”
Judge; "What were you playing
for?”
Gambler: “For chips.”
Judge: “But chips are the same
as money. Ten dollars fine.”
So the gambler paid in chips.
Forgetfulness
“Dear Clara,” wrote the young
man "pardon me, but I’m getting so forgetful. I proposed to you last night, but I’ve really forgotten
whether you said ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ ”
“Dear Will,” she replied, “so glad to hear from you. I knew I said ‘no’
to somebody last night, but had forgotten who it was.”
Double Threat
‘Td fire you in a minute,” cried the,angry manager, “if I thought I
could get another man to fill your job.”
“And I’d quit in a minute,” sighed
tbe weary bookkeeper, “if I was through with my night course in
welding.”
SPECIAL REQUEST
seen in years when she saw Clara- belle Carter crossing the street;
and then she thought the day wasn’t
lovely at all.She could hear Clarabelle talking to Mille as she had ihat day in the
store when she’d been standing behind shelves lined with groceries deliberately eavesdropping.
“I do declare, it does look like Amy Wells could get someone,”
Clarabelle had said. “I suppose she’ll die an old maid.”Clarabelle hadn’t said anything degrading of course. But from that
moment forward, Amy had won
dered if people generally didn’t assume that old maids just couldn’t
find any takers.
She took her eyes from the window and Clarabelle going down the street to look at her reflection in
the dresser mirror. At almost forty-
five, she didn’t think she was being egotistical in appraising herself as
actually looking thirty-five. She had very little gray in her dark hair,
and the faint lines on her face were unnoticeable against the startling
blue of her eyes and general pret- tiness of her features.There’d been a time when she
reigned as the most popular girl at Obane; she’d been pictured in
(he college year-book as “the girl all men want but only one can
have.”Cf course Clarabelle and the populi;.' ? of Donovan, a little town
of three ti;c',:sand, didn’t know these
things.Amy looked out i’le window again, and not seeing Clarabelle on the street now, the day resumed some
“Does your orchestra ever play re
quests?”
“Certainly. What would you like to have us play?”
“Pinochle!”
She was startled when someone stood at her shoulder suddenly.
of the brightness that Clarabelle’s presence had blighted, and she got
to thinking about a trip that 20 years ago had been scheduled for
tomorrow. Memory of the tryst had come to her v/ith the approach of
another New Year, but she had not planned to enact a promise that
years of separation had cast into
youth’s frivolous dreaming, disappointments and tem peram ental
pride. Yet. seeing Clarabelle and remembering what she’d said about her somehow filled her with unex
pected sentiment.
She had nowhere to go on New Year’s day, and thought of the trip
suddenly became entrancing. It would be emotionally uplifting to go
back'to the old haunts, and no one would know of her foolish living
just for a day among memories of a past that through her own foolhardy pride, had led her into her present state of lonely maidenhood.
“If anything ever separates us,”
Lance had said that night long ago, “it’d be fun just to meet again, sort
of a tryst affair, 20 years hence. Maybe in Park Rendezvous where we first met. . . .”They’d talked like that often, then laughed—because they knew they’d never separate. Someday they’d marry. But they didn’t marnr. Too
soon a trivial misunderstanding bad risen between them, and she’d had
too much pride to admit that she’d been a little wrong, too.
It was almost noon when Amy reached the Park Rendezvous at Obane on New Year’s day. She’d
have lunch, she decided, then visit about town. But already she was
sensing regret for having made the trip. You couldn’t live in the past even for a day without returning to
the present with greater pain. How well she blew it now!
She was startled when someone stood at her shoulder suddenly.
“Hello,” he said.Amy’s heart fiuttered in recog-
’ nizing his voice. She looked up.I Lance—I” It was all she
' could manage.He sat by her at the table and
covered her hand with his.“Looks like we both remembered,” he said, chtickling happily.

“That was false news, dear,” he
said. "Do you think—hut you sures iy know now! I tried to find you,'Amy, but I lost all trace of you.”Amy laughed and her cheeks col
ored. "I wouldn’t have come today,” she said wistfully, “but for a person named Clarabelle. . ."ClarabeUe?”
Amy nodded. “It’s a queer little story, Lance,” she said, and then
she wondered with a little gloating, what Clarabelle, and all of Donovan for that matter, would think when they heard!
Truth Hurts
T he judge was explaining to the jury that a witness was no;
necessarily to be regarded as untruthful because he altered a statement he had previously made.
“For instance,” he said, "when 1 entered this courtroom today, 1 could have sworn that I had my watch in my pocket. But then I re
memhered I had left it in the bathroom at home.”
When the judge got home that
night, his wife said, “John, why all
the fuss about your watch—sending fotir or five men to get it?”
’What!” howled the judge. “1
never sent anyone. What did you do?”
"Gave it to the first one who
came,” said his wife. “He knew just where it was!”
Proud FatherThe minister had just finished an excellent chicken dinner. As he
looked out of the windows, a rooster
strutted across the yard."M yl” said the minister, “That
is certain^ a proud rooster.”‘Yes, sir,” said the host, “he has
reason to be proud. One ot his son* just entered the ministry.”
POOR CHOICE
Judge: “Could the motorist have- avoided you?”
Injured: "He could, your honor. He had the choice of hitting me or the missus and he picked me.”
Aerobatic Maneuvers
'A good politician must also be a
good acrobat.”"How do you figure that?”
"Ever try straddling a fence, keeping your fingers on the pulse of tte
nation, pointing with pride, and
looking to the future- while keeping both ears to the ground?”
Don’t Waste Time
It happened on the obstacle course.
A trainee, puffing and groaning, failed to make a hurdle. As he
stretched out, « corporal ran forward.
•Hey,” he cried. “What’s the trouble?”
"I think I’ve broken my leg.” "Well, don’t lay there, man. Start
doing push-ups.”
Dogs Can’t Read
A woman went to buy a drinking bowl for her dog, and the shopkeeper asked her if she would like
one with the inscription, “For the
dog.”“It really doesn’t matter,” she
replied, "My husband'never drinks
water, and the dog can’t read.”

Our County And
Social Security
By Mrs. Ruth G.uffy. Manager,
We have just commemorated
the Holy birth. During this Christ
mas season, we again heard or re
read the account of this birth. It
will never grow old. Suppose no
record had been made or account
written, what satisfaction and en
couragement would we have mis
sed. So, I think it appropriate to
make several observations about
the record of births which has be
come of more and more import
ance to each of us.
The bookkeeping of life and
death is called ‘'vital statistics.”
Any community which pretends
to keep a record of its doings must
have this record. Vital statistic
when well prepared and accurate
give valuable information as to
the number of people - as to birth,
age, sex, color, race, occupation
and so forth. This cverall-record
Is kept by the Bureau of Vital Sta
tistics in the various states.
In North Carolina, following
birth, the name of every child, to
gether with the date of its birth,
the name of its parents, and oth
er essential information must be
filed with the State Health Board.
Physicians, midwives, and others
are required by law to report all births within a given time of their
occurranee, usually within one or
two days. This is as it should be, for it establishes certain basic in
formation without which manv rights of the child in question might be jeop rdized or even de
nied in future years. The very fact of citizenship itself rests upon one’s birth. There are many legal
documents which cannot be finally authenticated without information concerning one’s date of
birth. The same is true of insurance policies and claims under old age and survivors insurance in
which one’s date of birth plays
an important part.
Before the adoption of the present system of recording, one of
the main sources of information establishing dates of birth was the Church, which, in most cases, re
quired registration at christening time. Another source was the
family Bible in which names of children and their dates of birth
were written. Baptismal and Bi
ble records are accepted by the Social Security Administration as
proof of date of birth under certain circumstances. The Bureau
of Vital Statistics accepts either
of the above two sources for the issuance of delayed birth certificates. The record of births _ in
North Carolina since 1913 is fairly complete. One bom before 1913, would have to use other records
in proving date of birth.

The Supreme court split 5 to 4 on the issue, but the nation’s highest
tribunal sustainsd what Justice Black said was “an established, rule” in holding that, In the United
States, every person accused of crime is considered innocent until
proven guilty.The court ruled that the rights of persons accused of crime extend to the guilty as well as the innocent.
DISSENTERS to the rule were
Justices Jackson, Burton and Reed, and Chief Justice Vinson.The majority opinion held in effect
that;Regardless of whether there is
any “third degree,” a confession is invalid if it is obtained while a prisoner is being held illegally through
failure to carry liim promptly before a committing magistrate.An actual emergency must exist to justify search and seizure with
out a warrant.A person accused of serious crime
has unqualified right to counsel when he needs that help for adequate defense.
JUSTICE BLACK said the main finding in an earlier case which set the precedent was that prisoners
must be taken promptly before a magistrate. He added that the
“plain purpose” of this was to
“check resort by officers to secret interrogation of persons accused of
crime.”As one of tlie dissenters, Justice
Reed held that the court’s decision broadly extended the old rule. By his interpretation that rule was that
psychological pressure, or, at least, something more than iUegal deten
tion, must be present to invalidate a confession.
He summed up: “This decision puts another weapon into the hands of the criminal world.”

Congress u-ould be asked to do something about it. The salaries of
top U. S. ofTicials were too low. For example, cabinet officials should get $25,000 annually, instead of the pres
ent $15,000.It was none other than Budget Director James E. Webb talking. He
told a senate civil service sub-com
mittee that "the need for men of ability in the government has never
been more critical. Establisliment of more adequate rates of pay for
top government positions is an essential step.”WEBB HURRIED to explain that
he was not speaking for President Truman when he urged that the
President’s salary be raised. He said he had not even discussed the
subject with the President.Declaring that any salary paid the chief executive would be low,
he added that “$150,000 a year would be far more acceptable than
the present $75,000.”Webb also suggested that the President be provided with a “real
istic” expense account, and that the $25,000 salary of the vice president
loe brought more in line with that of the President.The sub-committee was told: “No
job in the world is more grueling than the President’s. No soldier
fights harder for his country than does the commander-in-chief.”

Washington newsmen might have
been pardoned had they uttered an involuntary: “Here we go again.”
For President Truman, at a news conference, stated that he was go
ing to press again for congressional approval of legislation to authorize
the St. Lawrence seaway and power project.
THE OFT-PROPOSED international project has as yet failed to win congressional approval.The President reiterated his intention to ask for an okay for the proposal after a reporter asked:
Mr. President, are you again going to press for development of the St. Lawrence?”The President replied that he certainly was. He added that he had
urged approval for the multi-million dollar project in almost all of
his state of the Union messages to congress.ON ONE of these occasions he
termed the proposed project “one of the greatest engineering projects of all times.”
At his conference, the President said he did not favor New York’s plan to develop jointly with the province of Ontario the hydro-elec
tric part of the St. Lawrence project.

With headlines screeching of death and injury in two major hotel
fires, the nation’s attention was
turned again to the potential tragedies lurking in so many of its
hostelries.FIVE LOST their lives, 11 were
injured and 187 were forced to flee flames in Chicago’s old, 17-story Loop hotel, the Victoria. Two of
the dead were navy men on leave.
Three victims were trapped in their rooms. One was found in the blackened fifth-floor hallway. Another
died several hours after he was led
from his blazing room.Just three days earlier, fire struck Chicago’s Hubbard hotel, but that time aU guests escaped the $100,000
blaze which destroyed the structure.LUCKIEST GUEST: Mrs. Ann WeUs. Twice within the three days
she escaped death or injuries from the fires. A guest at the Victoria,
she got safely out there, fled unscathed witli the 150 guests who escaped the Hubbard hotel blaze.
It was too early to determine cause of the fires, but it was safe
to assume that investigations would get underway swiftly as probers
sought to eliminate fire hazards. Ob
servers wondered it there were g cycle in the making.

Tiny Costa Rica, erupting in strife, held front page space in the
nation’s press with charges that an invasion” was being made from Nicaraguan territory. Who. or what,
was behind the Costa Rican muddle? Communists again? That ac
cusation was hurled.The Costa Rican government
charged that dissident exiles, defeated in last spring’s civil war,
ganged up with “Communists” and Nicaraguan national guardsmen to
launch the invasion.THE COSTA RICAN incident was nothing to be ignored. The little
country, smaller than South Carolina, is literally in Uncle Sam’s
own backyard and the issues involved were serious enough to mer
it first-class concern.The problem seemed squarely up
to the western hemisphere republics—for, under the Rio Pact pro
viding for American help to repel an armed invasion, the foreign min
isters of the 21 republics would have to determine whether there really
has been an invasion, who is to blame, and what to do about it.
Their findings could result in the dispatch of American and other
troops to the aid of the Costa Rican government.THERE WERE FEW, however,
who felt this would happen. The situation was too muddled to justify any definite forecasts, but some
facts were clear. ,For instance, the claimed in
vasion was incredibly small, Costa Rica, herself, placed the niunber
of invaders at 200 or 300 men. If Commimists were involved it was un'.ikely that Anastasio Somoza,
strong-man dictator of Nicaragua, and an enemy of the Communists,
had anything to do with it. Instead,
the row looks more like a postelection quarrel carried on in the
time-honored Latin American way —the “outs” resorting to bullets
and bayonets in efforts to oust the “ins.” But, if the invaders were really aided by Nicaragua, then
the matter quite properly was a situation for hemispheric concern.
Maybe New, Maybe Old
Astronomers Report Discovery of Planet
Perhaps it was new, maybe it was old, but “1948—AA” had flashed into the ken of astronomers
as a “minor” planet. Showing little originality, the telescope- peepers dubbed it with the numeral
of the year in which it appeared. It was traveling a route, they said,
which brings it within 140 million
miles of earth.
Further study will be required t« determine whether the object is a
new, or just an’ old-timer planet making a new appearance. It’s next
close approach wiU be in July, 1949.
There are about 1,500 known
minor planets believed to be remnants of larger celestial bodies which shattered.

The navy has announced the first
successful self-starter for jet and turboprop aircraft engines.
At present these engines are started with cumbersome storage bat
teries or other heavy auxiliary units outside the plane.THE RADICALLY NEW self
starter, which can be used on both fighters and bombers, weighs only 88 pounds and can be carried in
the planes.This, the navy said, will enable jet or turboprop aircraft to use
out-of-the-way bases which are not equipped to start their engines.
The turbine engine powering the starter also can be used for air conditioning, cabin pressurization,
heating and de-icing, and to operate
other power-consuming devices.The power source of tlie new start
er is a gas turbine engine identical in principle with the engine it
serves. Is uses fuel from the plane’s regular tanks.
IN ANNOUNCING the new starter, the navy hinted at much larger
jet engines. It said the new starter is more powerful than is needed for engines now in service, and wiU not
be installed on aircraft types already announced or in use.
There are two versions of the small, multiple - use gas turbine. Both were developed under navy
contract by the Air-Researrh Manufacturing Company, of Los Angeles. They took S’/a years and two mil
lion dollars to perfect.The navy said use of the engines
is not confined to aircraft. They may be adapted for ground auxiliary work on power units and in
industrial applications.

A national scholarship program

a minimum appropriation of over 100 million dollars for the first year. They said this would open the doors
of many colleges to approximately 250,000 able students. The scholar
ships would be awarded on the basis of ability. Only the highest one- fourth or one-third of high school
graduates would be eligible.As a basis for the legislation, McDonald said, the department will

ther the institution or the student.A stipend of at least $400 or $500
annually.Freedom of the student to select
his owm school and course of study.
Safeguards, against any discrimination in scholarship awards be
cause of race, creed, sex, or other “social circumstance.”McDonald indicated it was not
planned to have the bill take precedence over any measure to give fed
eral aid to the states for elemen> tary or secondary education.

As the army sees it, it isn’t clothes that make the man—it’s
where he’s born.MAKING PUBLIC a study on the
subject, the army declared that a man’s geographical background has a lot to do with his muscles.
Experts frcm Harvard imiver-
sity’s department of anthropology compiled the findings for the army.
New Englanders tended to be strong, while the weakest of the
males were from the South Atlantic states. The Middle Atlantic states,
like New England, abound in “wellmuscled types.” The Middle Atlan
tic area had the most fat men.
SOLDIERS FROM the Pacific
spates were generally found to be well-balanced in fat and muscle.
Those from the mountain states are often medium fat but muscular, or very fat.
Men from the west north central states lean to average build. Their neighbors slightly to the east, however, included a number of hefty
and muscular specimens of masculine humanity.In the south central area, men
from the western section appeared to be better muscled than their
neighbors to the east.

BAUKHAGE
FORT PIERCE, FLA.—As you read these lines I to be back where the quiet along the Potomac w ill be disturbed by the plans for an old-time inauguration party and
the beginning of a new legislative year. But as I write I can
see the blue of the Indian river whose eastern shore line is a slim silhouette of palm trees screening the Atlantic beyond.
When I stand up I can look over the seawall and watch mullet jumping higher than I ever saw a fish leap except when the Washington stats
salmon were hurdling the faUs on their way to spawn.
A little way north of here a wide< ► inlet breaches the natural strip of
beach and dune,I scrub pine and
® ; cabbage palm which forms apart
of the barrier between the ocean
and the great inland waterway stretching from
New York harbor
‘ . Miami.Hi'., f* These occasion-P 1 al intrusions of the> ’ > jfi. ocean don’t dis
turb the Indian river in the slight
est for through the dredged channels
come the fish and the deep-sea fishing boats, the shrimpers and the
freighters that mingle with the trim pleasure craft in the yacht basin.
Approaching this spot on land
you are welcomed by the brilliant red of the Turk’s Caps, the flower
that.never opens — never has to.Perhaps it is too lazy. It loafs
along the ditches, growing wild in fields or tamed in gardens, showing
no envy for its more aristocratic sister, the hibiscus which throws
its flames out in wide tongues, the dainty bouganviUea blossoms, or
the. languorous poinsettia.
When a crane flashes up from the river edge, a polished silver
streak in the sun, you kjiow you have left the northern city canyons far behind. Now the groves. Ripening oranges
among the leaves shine like little golden beads against rich,
green velvet tapestry. Quite a different green from the deli
cate tint of the little lizard sunning himself on the window
screen beside me. Be would match the- tender tint of the dusters of new pine needles un
dulating in a breeze that keeps the palms fanning themselves
with their rippling fronds.
I am met in new, blue truck
which also transports fish, groceries
and v/hatnot—even a marauding (vildcat which has suffered his just
deserts among the palmettos at
dawn.Over the cottage great bulbous blossoms of the yellow trumpet
vine are waiting until the sun sets to send out their intoxicating per
fume.The next day starts, as it should, on the river. Overhead are the
soaring fishhawks, the nervous kingfishers, the greedy, speedy and
graceful black cormorants and high above all the tireless man-of-war
birds with their wide sweeping wings, like an upper-case M, which never seem to change their shape.
Little snappers are so thick that we couldn’t bait fast enough, but we
are fishing for our supper!And so days pass with no sense
of time passing with them—trout and a few fighting jacks that flop
and grunt but which is of little interest to the commercial fisherman.Not a “honey-money” fish like a
trout or pompano, as my wife would say, making a little more
euphemistic the terminology of the
commercial fisherman.
Bill Turner smiles. He knows the personal histories and hab
its of the furred, feathered or finny folk that inhabit these
parts and gets as much pleasure out of seeing somebody else
land a catch as he does doing it himself. And he has an uncanny sixth sense that takes
him straight to the spot close to the bank m the green shadow
of the mangroves, outside on reef, deep in the cuts wherever
fish will be if fish there are.
. . . I watch my wife ptdl in four speckled beauties. I get none.That’s not what the male animal
ordinarily calls good fishing. But I don’t resent the fact that she is
the fisherman in this family. In

Baukhage and Friends
fact as far as I am concerned, she, not Hernando de Soto, discovered
the place. . . . I land a snook, enough! Fried, with corndogers,
crisp and golden brown, a salad of grapefruit, oranges; pineapple and fresh cocoanut from the back
yard, that sriook is delicious. And
so to bed.Next day I go after a different species of marine fauna. (See accompanying photograph.) Mer
maids aren’t as hard to find as they used to be before that ingenious creature, homo-press-agen-
ticus, was discovered and carefully
cultivated by the chambers of commerce of all energetic resorts.Although I didn’t intend to make
a busman’s holiday out of my vacation I couldn’t help getting one
or two interviews.I called on Douglas Silver, presi
dent of the local chamber of com
merce. I had known him when hia beat was Broadway and the New
York advertising district. His office was as busy as one in the
Merchandise Mart or Radio City. “Do you like it any better here?” I asked him. “In some ways it’s
worse,” he said.
I nearly fell off my chair.
Such a statement from a Floridian! He saw my consterna
tion, immediately realized my misunderstanding, and hastily proceeded to put me right.
“I see you don’t mean what 1 mean,” he said. “I thought you were asking me if I like work any better here. Frankly, I have the
same allergy to useful effort that
you have. But work for you up north is all you have to do. Now look out there.” He pointed out the
window to a gentleman in wrinkled slacks and a faded khaki shirt sitting in a boat out on the river.
Even from where we stood we
could see the look of almost childish contentment on his tanned
face. Just then he stood up and began reeling in his taut line.
Silver gave one look and pushed
back his chair. “Listen,” he said, “I can finish up what I have to do in about 15 minutes and we’ll get
right out there. But to answer your
question: work is no better here than any place but the difference
here is that when you quit you don’t have to take a train or a plane to get where you really want to be—
you’re there already.”* « «

The lizard has moved over to get

Some shrimp boats are coming in through the inlet. This is probably
the biggest shrimping port south of Savannah. I think I will go over
and see if I can’t get some nice fat ones. Bill Turner will clean them
until they are sweet and delicate as a newly opened gladiolus. They
will be boiled with just the right amount of salt. They wiU be chilled (not drowned in ice water
until they are mushy).

F o rt Pierce
H as H istory
Fort Pierce was a real fort once —built in 1838 as one of the chain
of east coast defenses against the Indians. It was a strategic point
on the Indian river because a natural opening to the sea permit
ted easy water commvmication with the north. Settlers came, fought off the Indians, planted their pineapples, citrus groves, and vege
tables for the winter markets. Later the artificial inlet was
dredged so the big ships could dock.
Florida played more of a
part in the Civil war than most textbooks record. It was the
food basket of the Confederacy and also one of the great blockade running bases, and I
have no doubt these cuts shel
tered many a contraband cargo going to or from Cuba or the Bahamas as they did in the
days of the rum runners.The town felt the shock of World War II, literally felt it, for the
submarines crept close to the coast and explosions rocked the
houses far inland. Wounded survivors were brought in and cared for here as in other coast towns.
Later, because land and water conditions could be simulated to resem
ble the terrain in the Pacific, It became the country’s largest amphi. bious training base.

THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE. N. C.
Teeth for Chitdren
Sodium fluorine, the magic chemical that helps prevent tooth decay
in children, now Is in general use throughout the countrx, PresidenI
Truman was Informed this week by officials of the American Donta' as
sociation. Virtually all dentists are
using it to various extents, chieily on school children.
“I’m mighty glad to hear that progress is being made,” the president told a delegation led by Dr.
Clyde M. Minges of Rocky Mount, N. C., president of the American Dental association. “I’ve been very
interested in sodium fluorine since the public health service first re
vealed its amazing qualities.”Then the President added with a smile:
“It would be a wonderful thing if we could shed our teeth when they start bothering us and grow a brand
new set.”
Tmman promised to give “se
rious thought” to a proposal by Or. Minges and bis colleagues that he proclaim a national chil
dren’s dental health day next February to stimulate greater
interest in the care of teeth by school children and their parents.
NOTE: The Washington Merry-
go-round on March 5 first reported the amazmg progress of the public health service in using sodium fluo
rine to preserve children’s teeth, and gave credit to Congressman Frank Keefe, Wisconsin Republican,
for helping the public health serv
ice. It was reported that sodium fluorine would save about 50 per cent of the children’s teeth from
decay.At tliat time the American Dental
association’s journal was critical both of this column and the public health service for publishing this
claim, but ADA officials now admit that painting children’s teeth with
sodium fluorine at proper intervals when under the age of 13 will preserve them in about 40 per cent of
the cases.
‘Ho War’— Clay
Powder-Keg-Sitting Gen. Lucius
Clay expects the Russians to intensify the cold war, but to stop short
of a shooting war.
Talking privately to visiting
congressmen from the house armed services committee.
Clay predicted that the Russians would haunt Europe with the
specter of war, but would not fight their cause on the open bat
tlefield. Their game is to stir up chaos and fear, as a breeding
ground for Communism.
The general admitted, however;
that a misfire in this delicate battle of nerves could easily precipitate a war.
Greatest factor holding Russia back is American air power. Clay said, despite the fact that he is a
groxmd soldier.“The Russians have more respect for our air power than some of us
at home have,” he declared.The constant droning of the Berlin airlift in Russian ears has- only
increased tliat respect, he added,
and, at the same time, impressed the rest of Europe. It is Clay’s be
lief that Russia wants to test whether the airlift can survive the win
ter before backing down from the Berlin blockade.Clay told the congressmen that
the Communists are going from door to door in Berlin as systemat
ically as magazine - subscription salesmen, trying to scare individuals into the Communist camp. At
night their threats are backed up
with kldnapings and acts of terror, himdreds of individuals have disappeared forever behind the iron cur
tain.
Bouncing Bob Butler
For years controversy has raged inside the state department regarding the relative merits of the career
and the political diplomat. Career diplomats resent the intrusion of
ambassadors appointed because they have ponied up during a political campaign—and this resentment is sometimes justified. So also, po
litical appointees resent the lack of imagination, the routine viewpoint
of many career diplomats.
One political ambassador who
got cuffed around at first is bouncing Bob Butler, the for
mer St. Panl shipbuilder, who became U. S. ambassador to
Australia.
Today, however, Butler is ambassador to Cuba and doing an A-1
job. Not only does he have the warmth and human quality which some career diplomats lack—and
which Latin Americans love—but he has imagination. It was Butler who
conceived the important idea of bringing President Prio of Cuba up to the United States on a good-will visit.Good will between the United
States and our Latm neighbors is something which needs a lot of working at. Since Statesman Sum
ner Welles got out of the state department it has been woefully neglected. But today, energetic, likable
Bob Butjer is doing a great job of warming up our good-neighbor policy—which is a lot more important
than deciding who should sit where at dinner.
IVGlk House Heaters
Solve Farm Problem
Can Be Attached to Milk
House Walls in Winter
Nobody enjoys working in a cold
milk house. But until very recently,
farmers could do little about it—except, perhaps, add another layer to their already uncomfortably bulky clothing.
Experiments conducted il» the last two or three years, however, have helped solve the milk house heating
problem. One type of equipment, developed as a direct result of such agricultural engmeering experiments, is shown in the accompany
ing illustration. It is a 3000 watt, 240 volt, thermostatically controlled
electric space heater. Easily attached to the milk house wall, it is five feet high and produces a tem
perature range of between 40 and 80 degrees.Other new developments along this line include the use of small hot wa
ter radiators which are connected to standard dairy water heaters, and
Arthur Miller of Union, 111., ad
mires the new heater recently installed in Ills milk house.
the conversion of electric milk cool
er compressors into heat pumps.Most farmers, however, are in
terested primarily in “spot heating”—that is warming only the spe
cific places in which they happen to be working at the moment. This is a relatively simple job and can
be done by placing heat lamps di
rectly above or adjacent to the space to be warmed.
The old saying that “grass is greener on the other side of the
fence” has a scientific basis in fact, according to Dr. William A. Albrecht, head of the soils department ^ f the University of Missouri.CatSe’s grazing habits, he said, are based on a search for feed that will best nourish them.“When a cow risks her neck to
get grass on the other side of the fence,” he declared, “she is show
ing good sense. She does this because the neighboring grass not only
looks, but is greener. She is instinctively seeking grass from soil high
in protein producing elements.” Feed that contains body-building bone-making values comes only
from soil that is high in miner^
fertility. Dr. Albrecht said. Declin
ing soil fertility means a decline in the health of our livestock, our crops and ourselves.
Br. Albrecht warned that widespread loss of “life-giving elements”
from the soil is becoming more serious.
Rebuilding the soil’s fertility
strength so that it can produce crops with body building values, s^d Dr. Albrecht, 'depends on proper soil
management. That includes liming, the growing of deep-rooted legumes regularly in the rotation, the use «l
phosphate and potash fertilizers and the return of banoyard manures and
green manures to balance fertility losses through crop removals.
Fiom Chick-Fed Mink
To Chic Fur Coats
Poultry raid i^ habits of wild mink have provided a tip for economy in the feeding of captive mink which for years have been fed on horse meat and fish.
But the fondness of mink for poultry suggested the feeding of the waste from poultry dressing plants —the heads, feet and entrails. Ex
periments proved that both adult mink and kits thrived on this cheap>
er diet.

In Remembrance
Lesson for January 9, 1949
Dr. Foreman
JESUS OF NAZARETH was the
Unforgettable Man. All our information atiout him as he lived
in Galilee comes from four small,___^ booklets known as
I the Gospels. There MBk ss was a little more about him in the
letters of Paul, and a few additional
sayings of his have been preserved in papyrus fragments
in Egypt. But the main source of our
historical knowledge of Jesus is in these four Gospels. AH put to
gether they do not make a big book; but any one of them by itself is a great book.* * *
Who Remembered Him?
TT BOTHERS some people to dis- cover what scholars have always
known, that our Gospels as we hav& them are based on earlier
writings and spoken traditions. But this gives us an even better reason
for trusting the reliability of these records. They were not made up for the first time a generation or
more after Jesus’ resurrection. They go back to the lifetime of
thousands who personally knew Jesus.
The farther back scholars can trace the origins of the
Gospels, the more historically reliable they are proved to be.
Some of the inform ation worked into our Gospels came from personal reminiscences;
this is the case witb large parts of Matthew and John. In
the case of Mark, the early story in the church was that as a yoimg companion of
Peter on missionary journeys,
Mark jotted down the stories which Peter told about Jesus.
At any rate the Gospel of Mark contains just the sort of things
that a man like Peter would be
likely to remember. Luke himself, a missionary .doctor and great
friend of Paul, never knew Jesus personally, but lived for two years in Palestine and gathered the ma
terials for his Gospel while there were still hundreds of people there
who remembered Jesus well.* « •
What They Remembered
T OHN • teUs us that it would be
“ impossible to write down all that was then known of Jesus’
life. Out of the 400 days (at least) during which Jesus’ public ministry lasted, not over 40 are re
corded, even in part.
Yet what these men did re
call and record is enough to reveal a matchless Person. A
fifth Gospel might enlarge our
knowledge of Jesus; but it would not greatly change it.
Jesus never wrote a book, not even a letter so far as we know;
yet such words of his as were remembered have influenced the world.
Jesus’ entire public ministry
lasted a shorter time than it takes to go through college; yet what he did has had a deeper effect on
the world than the work of any university graduate in history.
Jesus started no corporation, no formal organization; yet out of his
fellowship have grown the greatest institutions in the world.* » *
Why They Remembered
T^HE STORY of Jesus was re-
membered and recorded by his followers partly because they could
not help it. They could not forget him and did not want to forget liim. One thing is true of aU those who lovingly cherished these mem
ories of the Master: they loved and adored him.
No onbeliever ever wrote a
Gospel. Pilate wrote no life of Christ. Even if Judas had lived,
he could not have written one. Our Gospels were written by
men of faith, for the purpose of
calling out faith in others. “These things were written
that ye may believe that Jesus is the Son of God.” (John 20: 31).
In one sense of the word we
could write a better (Sospel now, for today 19 cmturies of Christian
experience are behind us, and those centuries are full of the doings of Christ through his church. The
four Gospels tell us of what Jesus did in Galilee. But now we can tell
the story of what Christ has done in Africa and Greenland and Australia and America. Reading the
Gospels is interesting, -it is important; but the reading has not hit the bull’s-eye if it leaves you,
the reader, merely better informed than you were.(Copyright by the InteinM iOBal Council of Religious Bdueatiott oa bebatt ot 40 Protestant denominations. Released b r W N O Fern- ttties.)

A ]/\fhite Christmas
For the past two years we have
had a white Christmas. One
year ago the snow measured a
bout 7 inches on Dec. 25th. This
year snow began falling Christ
mas evel morning and continued
most of the day, but melted near
ly fast as it fell. The fields were
covered with a white mantle,
with the trees and shrubbery en
cased in ice, A cold wave arrived
here on Sunday morning, Dec.
26th, with the mercury down to
12 degrees above zero. On Dec.
27th. the reading was 14 degrees
above zero. Most of the ice and
snow had disappeared by Christ
mas night.
Frances, the little 2 year and 8
months old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Blackwelder. died on
Dec. 21st shortly after entering
Rowan Memorial Hospital. She
had been ill only a short while.
Surviving are the parents, one
sister and the grandfather, H. F.
Blackwelder; of Route 2, and
grandmother, Mrs. E. P. Bradley,
of Mocksville.
Funeral services were held at
2:30 p. m., Dec. 22nd, at the Pres
byterian Church, with Revs. E. H.
Gartrell and H. C. Sprinkle offi-
ciatmg and the little body laid to
rest in Rose cemetery. Pallbearers
were R. B. Sanford, Knox John
stone; Ben Boyles and E. C. Mor-
!.
The grief stricken parents have
the sympathy of a host of friends
in this great bereavement. We
can only commend them to Him
who said nearly two thousand
years ago. “Suffer little children
to come unto me and forbid them
not, for of such is the kingdom
of heaven.”
Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Beck, who
have been living near River H ill
for the past 5 years, haved mov
ed back to the old home county
and are living on the Frank
Walker farm near Hardison
Chapel. We are glad to welcome
these good people back to Davie.

WALTER BUTTON GOES HUNTING
ByJOHNSHARDA
PM M A BUTTON laid aside the ^ sweater she was Icnitting and cleared her throat. Her husband,
Walter, instantly snapped to attention. His lean frame had been comfortably sprawled in his favorite chair, but now he was sitting up
straight.“We could save a lot of money on our meat bill,” began Emma, “if you’d get out and do some hunt
ing.” Walter remained silent. He was accustomed to being mildly startled by his wife’s remarks.“Zeke Smith goes hunting nearly every Saturday,” slie continued.
“And he always comes home with two or tliree rabbits. Sadie says they save a right smart amount sach week.”Walter thought it was time he
iaid something. “I’ve never done any hunting, Emma. Zeke’s been doing it aU his life.”“Humph!” Emma snorted. You
can learn, can’t you? And there’s a perfectly good shotgun rusting
Walter wasn't the hunting type bul^ encouraged by his wife, he decided
to try his luck. He thought he cut qi,ijo q fetching figure in the togs he
rigged up, but unfortunately, he learned q man needs more thon appear
ance to bag some game.
ibis eye to see the handsome reflection he made in the mirror. Not
bad at all, he thought.Emma caught sight of him
through the open doorway as he was preening himself. “My, my, she intoned sarcastically, “aren’t
you the sportsman, though.” Her
husband hung his head in silence. A fiery blotch of red appeared at
his neck and rose rapidly upward until it covered his countenance. He
attempted to beat a hasty retreat, but Emma wasn’t finished.“If I were you, Walter Button, I’d wait until I brought home some
big game before I started play-act- in’ in front of a mirror.” This powerful verbal blast shook Walter vis
ibly.Finally he managed to blurt, “I
guess I’ll go to bed. Got to get up early in the morning.” Upstairs he
scrambled at a reckless pace.Saturday morning dawned bright and cold. A light snow had fallen. Walter bounded out of bed with unusual vigor when the alarm sound
ed. “It’s a wonderful day to go hunting,” he said as he peered out the window. Without waiting to awaken Emma he dressed hurriedly
and stole downstairs.Quickly he fixed himself a breakfast of bacon and eggs and coffee. While he gulped the food he thought
about the adventure which lay aneaa. Mayoe ne a get nau a aOi-
en rabbits! Perhaps a pheasant] Why hadn’t he gone hunting before, he asked himself. This was a real he-man sport.
The sun was just a weak, red ball in the eastern sky as Walter headed his little pre-war coupe toward the city limits. About two mUes out,
he found the com field which was to be the scene of his debut as a modern nimrod. He parked the car carefully just off the road in a lit
tle grove of trees. He clambered out, laden with shotgun, knapsack, binoculars and a great quantity of shells which were distributed among
his pockets. He gave the car door a nudge but it failed to shut. However, rather than set down his burdens he disregarded it. The snow had stopped. It wouldn’t hurt to
leave the car door open.Off across the field he started, his
head held high and shoulders squared. If only Emma could see
him now!The corn field looked extremely long, but Walter wasn’t daimted. The bigger the fi^d, the more rab
bits there would be, he figured with logic. He wondered idly if he’d be able to carry all his furry victims
back to the car in one trip.
By the time he was half way to the end of the field, the bitterly cold wind had chilled him to the bone. His gun had grown surprisingly
heavy and it was an effort to move his feet. But still he plodded on. The com stalks lay like white
branches on the uneven soil. And as yet, no rabbits had appeared. Not a single one. They’re probably all down at the end of the field, thought Walter.
But at the end of the field, there
were no rabbits. Nor did he encounter any on the way back. When
he finally observed the car in the distance, Walter felt as though he had tramped a thousand miles.“What will I tell Emma?” he
asked himself out ioud. She would scarcely believe that he hadn’t even seen a single rabbit. Instead, she’d accuse him of being a poor shot, or of forgetting to load his gun. Hast
ily he checlced. Yes, it was loaded.
“But I’d have to bay a hunting license,” remonstrated Walter, weakly.
away up in the attic because no
body uses it.” She was referring to a weapon of questionable age and cor^dition that Walter had been given his grandfather.‘•'But I’d have to buy a hunting
license,” remonstrated Walter, weakly. He saw his line of defense being methodically torn down *by his wife.Emma regarded him deliberate
ly. “One little cotton-tail rabbit would more than pay for a license.” Walter surrendered. He might as well make the best of it now.
“Yes, that’s true,” he agreed. “And the exercise might do me
good.”“Of course it would, dear,” Em
ma beamed. As usual she had emerged the victor. “Today’s Thursday, why don’t you go Satur
day?” she queried. Emma was not
one to put things off once .-.he had made up her mind.“That’s awfully soon,” said Wal
ter, even though he knew it wouldn’t do much good to stall. “I’ll have
to give the gun a thorough cleaning and buy some shells.”
Emma glared at him. “You can think of more silly excuses,” she scoffed. “Now let’s hear no more about it. Come Saturday, (here she paused significantly) you’re going hunting!” With these parting words
she bundled up her knitting and stalked haughtily out of the room.As Walter heard her heavy foot
steps echoing up the stairs he addressed himself to the empty room. “Wen, that’s that.” He, too, went upstairs to find solace in a good night’s sleep.
The next day, after work, Walter went up to explore the attic. He
found the shotgun standing in a well-cobwebbed corner. It was cov
ered with a thick coat of dust, and in spots it had begun to rust. Walter shook his head sadly. Never
theless, he carried it downstairs and set to work. Emma nodded approval.WTien he had finished, Walter could not help being a little proud
of his efforts. The gun gleamed from the tip of the barrel to the end of the stock.
In spite of himself, Walter began to feel somewhat excited. This was his first hunting trip and he intend
ed to make it a successful one.On his way home from the office
that afternoon he had stopped in at the hardware store to get some shells. The proprietor had been most helpful, Walter thought. Not only had he advised him concerning
the proper type of ammunition, but he had recommended a particular corn field where, according to him, the rabbits were incredibly plentiful. ,
Later that evening, Walter surveyed himself in front of the full- length mirror in the hall. He had
donned some khaki trousers which he had bought a year ago at a war
surplus store but had never worn. A green jacket and red cap com
pleted his costume. He practiced aiming the gun at imaginary targets. glancing out of the corner
If only he would see one rabbit. Just one. Close enough to get a
shot. But none appeared.He was nearing the car now. His spirits had fallen to a new low. His footsteps had slowed considerably
as he anticipated the tongue lashing which awaited him at home.
Emma was not always an imder- standing wife. The most disconcerting fact was that this expedition
had not been his idea. Emma was responsible but Walter knew that it was he who would suffer. At least
he’d get to rest a little as he drove
home.He was within a- few feet of the car when he stopped dead still. The sight that met his eyes was a re
markable one.“For gosh sakes!” he exclaimed.
Seated on the seat of his car was a rabbit! A real, live rabbit that
eyed Walter with surprise, but certainly not with fear. It evidently
had hopped in the car through the open door.
Walter’s hand shook as he raised his gun. This was his big chance,
he told himself. He mustn’t muff it! Then he lowered his weapon as he realized that a blast of shot
would ruin his car.“I’ve got to get that bunny out of the car,” he muttered. “Then I’ll
shoot him.” His day wouldn’t have been spent in vain, after all.Cautiously he inched forward. Mustn’t scare the rabbit.“Shoo!” said Walter. The rabbit
didn’t stir. If anything, it settled down more leisurely on its haunches. This infuriated Walter. Stepping
ciOsei-n\g-ii)MBeQ^a-i;Mh°ij\flKl?Y j.Tihi
time it moved, and fast. But Walter swxmg into action also. With a
jerky motion he brought the gun to his shoulder. Sighting rapidly, he fired. As he picked himself off the ground he glimpsed the white bob
of the rabbit’s tail as it bounced unhurt toward the corn field.
“There goes my rabbit!” Walter wailed. He stamped upon the ground with rage. Suddenly a sound of es
caping air drew his attention.He gaped with open eyes at his left front tire. It was sinking rapidly. Numerous small holes showed only too clearly what had happened.
Walter went to the trunk and brought out a jack and tire tools. Wearily he sat down on the running board to rest.It had been a trying day.

Next time you cut out a dress, secure the paper pattern to the
material with small strips of scotch tape. If the pattern gets
torn, it can be mended with the tape also.
Protective paper jackets can be
placed on children’s school books and secured v;ith scotch tape.
Flavor cottage cheese with sugar, grated orange rind and raisins
and use as a pancake filling. This makes a good dessert after a sal
ad luncheon.
When yon pack a lunch box send soup along, occasionally, in the vacuum bottle. Hearty split pea
soup tastes good with a sandwich, and so does fish chowder or a
cream soup.
Overcooked oysters are always tough. Stop cooking them before
the edges begin to curl. Oyster stews are best cooked over water.
Use mercerized or cotton thread
when mending kid gloves. Silk thread has a tendency to tear the
kid as it pulls through the fabric,— e—
Plan the lighting in the living room so that each member of the

IT WAS enough to pul a fellow in a morbid state of mind. Last
airistmas he’d thought, when he gave Sally the inexpensive little
china dinner set, next Christmas I’ll give her something really nice.
Something she can wear and enjoy. Something expensive. It’ll not be practical to fit our Christmas budg
et, because by then I’ll be making more. The tide was bound to turn by next Christmas. I|
Well, it turned out all right. Fate could have been less callous in the direction to which it had turned the j
tide. It was even worse thi.s Chri.st-) mas than it wa.s last. At least Sally
Bill looksrt up from his overcon t
collar. “Hey, bp careful!” he shouted,
wasn’t out mailing tlie liv'r,,-’ and he, a big hulk of a man, stayin,q
home.The doctor had said he’d over-;
come the heart condition with pro-'
longed rest.People were talking. Bill know. He’d been standing near the iivin<=
room door the other day whun he'd heard Kate Tyler, their neighbor, talking to Sally in the kilchan.
“Well, it just looks a sh-^me tha’ you, such a frail liltle thing, musi
v/ork. Bill looks the picUn’e of health. He weighs soniethins near
one hundred eighty po'. nds. doesn’t he, Sally?” Kate said, and Bill bad visioned with burning rejentinent
her sharp, in-everybody’s-bus>ness nose twitch with inquisitiveness.
Bill visioned too, Sally’s pretty proud head lift v.'hon her voice had
come in quick sensitive rebellion, “I
believe it’s my affair about working. I really don't need to work.
We have plenty saved up to take us through until Bill is able to go bacr on his job. I’m working because I
want to.”He’d felt like a cad. There wasn’t
another guy in the whole univerre had a wife like Saliy. who thri.-sgh her loyalty would even tell a false
hood. Sally didn’t deserve the hard
ship he was giving her. .And now with Christm.us upon them and no
money of his own, unless he sol-1 his best suit to the re-sale shop down the street, he felt it would be even
better for his old heart to quit ticking than to face it and have Sally
say, “Oh, you didn’t need to give anything. Bill. All I %vant is you!
We’ll have a real Christmas when you get well.”Bill put on his overcoat, hat and
galoshes. It was about time to meet Sally coming home fi-om work.
Cold rain interspersed the snow and already the highway in fron!
of their place was getting coated with ice. Cars moved along cautiously.
Their neighbor’s boy. Pike, eleven, slid by him on a sled. “\^ee-e-e,
watch me. Mister Bill!”
Bill looked up from his overcoat collar. “Hey, be careful!” he shout
ed and went into action with a leap when he saw the sled carrying the boy from the sidewalk into the di
rection of an approaching car up the highway.
It all happened in a flash. If Bil' hadn’t been gigantic in size, muscu
lar and agile with youth, he couldn’t have saved the boy. “Man, Pike,”
he panted, standing over him on the sidewalk, “don’t pk;y along the street!”
“Aw, I could’ve made it, Mister
BiU,” Pike said, and dashed back up the street with his sled.A large man emerged hurriedly
from the big car on the side of the pavement and came up to Bill
“Thanks, fellow! Say,” he said mopping his forehead, “that was a close call! You certainly used your
head.”“I snatched him in time,” BiU said.
The man pulled out his wallet. "Here,” he said, holding a crisp bili toward Bill. “Take this, fellow.”
“But I don’t want money for what I did,” Bill protested, starting to
back away.The man pushed the money into
Bill’s hand. “I’d pay a thousand or more to escape what might have
happened just now. Think what
Christmas would have been for me if it had happened, to say nothing of the kid’s parents. Thanks again,
fellow—and Merry Christmas!”He was gone before Bill could do anything.
Bill looked down at the money in his hand. Well, if he felt that way
about it. But one hundred dollars. . . .
He looked up then and saw Sally trudging toward him through the snow and a happy, secretive smile
curved his lips suddenly. He slipped the money into his billfold and went to meet her.

TheBlessednessOf
Christmas
Rev W. e. fseahour. Hi<h Point. N. C. R4
CHRIST!—That always sounds
good. There is no other time of
the vear, no otbe event, that means
80 mucb to us. Our minds go back
to Bethlehem of Judea, to the ma-
nager, and to the shepherds that
kept their flocks, and to the wond.
erful song of the angels, when we
talk of Christmas, and when we
celebrate the btrth of our blessed
Savior. We know that His birth
meant more to the world thaw any
other birth that has ever taken
place, or ever will. He came as
the only begotten Son of God to
save us from all our sins, and to
make is possible that we may live
for God and reach heaven. Halle
lujah! No wonder the angels sang.
“Glorv to God in the bighesj, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men” (Lnkc2:i4 ) No wonder
the shepherds left tbeir flock and
went to Bethlehem, and to the man
ager. to find and worship Jesus.
CHRISTMAS: To many of we
think back acro.ss the years when
we were children in the old home,
when father and mother living,
and when we were happy In the
nnoroken familv circle, talking of
and getting readv for Christmas.
We think of the Blazing fire in the
fire-place, of the good things moth,
er nreoared for us to eat. and of
how we hung np our stockins on
Christmas eve for Santa Clans to
fill them that night. We conld
hardly wait until mominn came to
see what our stockings on Christ
mas eve for Santa Claus were at
Christmas time to candy, nnts, an-
Dies, cakes and nies, and to say to
one another. Christmas gift!” Well
»o mnnv of ns these days are long
In t*ie oast. Father and mother
have gone to meet Jesus our broth
ers and sisters ale scattered here
and there, and maybe some of them
have crossed the bar, and the old
home has disappeared, or seems so
different. Maybe to-iav our eyas
are dim with, tears as we think of
those far off days in tne past when
our hearts were young and gav,
and when it seemed .so long from
one Christmas to another.
However, it is sweet and com
forting to think of the time when
we shal meet our loved ones who
have gone before, and there look
upon the blessed Babe of Bethle.
hem who is now Lord of lords and
King of kings sing and shout His
praises foaever, and bo like Htm.
Halleluiah! Soon the. blessedness
of Christmas will end in the bless
edness of glory with God’s saints.

Stonecuttlng, OldesTArt,
Revived in Fashion Centii’
Art ot chiseling on stone, n-.rn'.'j earliest method of rccordir." his thoughts and acts for fut'.ire ger.;r-
atlons, survives today wiliiin a few
minute’s drive of the world's raosl fashionable residential center, Newport, R. I.
. In a little shop on Thames street,
at the edge of Newport’s business district, John Howard Benson and his assistants cut inscriptions on marble
plaques and monuments by the same methods, and with the same^ kind of
tools, used by the stooeouttera of
5,000 years ago.From many art centers In America students of lettering, as well as bibliophiles and topographers, have come
to Newport to watch Benson at work in a two-story shop founded by an
English stonecutter 243 years ago.Some of the finest stone lettering
to be seen anj-.vhers exists in Newport. The 18th century stonecutters
who came here from England w'ere master craftsmen and some of them were fine artists. Many of the old
tombstones in Newport's cemeteries bear witness to the high point to which stonecutting and lettering was raised by America’s pre-Revolution-
ary artisans.Gold letters, when required, are also produced according to ancient me
thods. The chiseled edges of the let
ters are flrit painted with a gold size to give a non-porous surface to the
stone. Gold leaf Is then laid on with
a brush, as was done by the artists of Tutankamen's and Caesar’s day.
Fighting the Forest Fire
Calls for Modern Methods
HechanizaUon is as much to the fore in modem forest fire fighting as
It is in modern farming. For years
the TJ. S. forest service has been using a wide variety of mechanical aid.s
in getting men to the fire lines and in aiding their work when they get
there.Busea, trucks, bulldozers, plows, and various forms of portable truck
and tank equipment are well developed and are being improved on the ba
sis of experience.The airplane with its parachuting
“smoke jumpers” is a spectacular aid that has caught public fancy. Each
year there are tests of new commer
cial products that might prove effective. Each year, also, forast ser
vice shops put into shape for test new pieces of equipment suggested by the forest senice workers on the
basis of experience.Recent successful use of the helicopter in fighting certain types of
fires in Calitomia has proved so sat
isfactory that opinion v.’as unanimous for further testing and expansion this
ytar. Also high in priority in the program ie the further development of
a “trencher” for -jse in building fire lines, that is, digging a narrow strip down to minerai earth, around the fire. The trencher resembles an over
size and overpowered gai\;en cultivator.
"Canned Airplanes,” Ne-.vcst Thing
Ever think you’d see a canned airplane? Well, the tin container which
has faithfully given protection to many a food and household product,
now 1s assuming a grandiose protection job. The navy is canning planes
ta corrugated steel structures to keep aircraft in fighting trim. The huge cans now on their way to six navy
bases are made in two sizes: 10x140 feet and 24x130- feet. Two or more
planes can be stored in each. A de-
humidifying agent sealed In with the planes absorbs moisture and prevents
corrosion of the planes. It is estimat
ed that in their metal coats, the planes will be perfectly protected for
at least five years.
f%lmney Bock, Beal Chimney Now
Chimney rock. Jutting monolith
towering over North Carolina’s Blue
Ridge mountains, is really a chimney no./. Workmen have finished installa
tion of an easy-glide elevator to carry
sightseers right up its insides. The elevator goes through solid rock 200
feet up to new sky lounge beside the rock. ’The world-famous rock moun
tain is on the easten'. rim of Uie Blue Ridges, and with adjacent Rumbling
Bald and other mountains, throws up a spectacular barrier ag-?iinst the low>-
lands. De Soto, some 100 years ago, came this v.'ay.
Clocking Oor Speediest Birds
To the duck hawk, an inhabitant of the United States, belongs the honor of being the fastest bird that flies.
This bird loafs along at about 65 miles an hour. He has been timed
with a stop watch doing 180 miles an hour, flying several times over a mea
sured course. The racing pigeon has few peers in spurting speed and eclipses all others in speed durability.
The span-ow hawk is a rather slow flyer, its top speed being 25 miles an
hour, and the lowly sparrow brings i:p the rear with a speed of only 17 miles an hour.
Teaching Philosophy
JOHN HOWARD VAN AMRINGE,
who occupies &n important niche in the history of Columbia university,
was a sworn enemy of coeducation,
“You cannot,” he asserted on one
occasion, “teach a boy mathematics if there’s a girl in the room.”
“Blit, professof,” someone ob
jected, “you might.”“Then,” observed the worldly-
wise Van Am, “he isn’t worth
teaching.”

DOUBLE CHECK
A cautious man wrote the fol
lowing to a mail-order house: “Please forward to me one ol
those gasoline engines you de
scribe on page !35 of your cata
log. If the engine’s any good. I’ll send you a check for it.”A few days later he received
this answer from the mail-order
house: “Please send check, and if it’s any good, we’ll send you
the engine.”
Time’s Dp!
A passenger on his first airplane flight was being comforted by a fellow traveler.
“You have nothing to worry
about,” said hi.-, p^. If your time has come, you can’t do anything
about it.”
“That’s O.K.,” he answered, “but what bothers me is suppo.^e the
pilot’s time has come and mine hasn’t! What happens then?”
Time Is Valuable
A farmer boy was sitting on the
bank of a creek fishuig when a city visitor came up to him and re
marked, “Your time must not be
very valuable to you, young fellow. I’ve been watching you for three
hours and you haven’t had a single
bite.”
“Well, stranger,” the boy rejoined, “ray time may not be worth much
to jne but it’s too valuable for me
to waste three hours watching another guy fishing when he ain’t
catching.”
A Promise
Husband: “Aren’t you ready yet?”
Wife: “I wish you’d quit that yapping. I told you two hours ago I would be ready m just a few min

“ My girl,” said Smith, “is one of a pair of twins.”“How do you tell them apart?”
a friend asked. ^
“Easy,” said Smith. “Her brother is taller.”
Crime in London Increases;
Declines in New York City
While Scotland Tfard is hot on the trail night and day to keep one jump
ahead of the law-breakers, London's
crime rate is higher than before World War n . More than 127,000 of
fenders were hauled into court to answer charges in 1916—34 per cent
more than in 1938.
This represents 16 crimes per 1,000
persons compared with a yearly average ot 10 per 1,000 before the war.
In New York City today there are only four crimes committed for every 1,000 persons.
Iiondon’s spread of crime is due largely to an increase in thefts. But
the postwar «rop of offenders has a new set of values. Jewel robberies
are no longer the “big time” pickings
they used to be. Topping the stolen property list 1s money, the root of
evil in 17 per cent of cases. A close second is suitcases, and clothing,
both 16 per cent Jewelry rates 10
per cent of the crimes and food 6 per cent. Vehicle accessories, tools, furniture, electrical goods, cigarettes
and tars follow in that order.
Trieste, Ship-Bullding Center
Because of Its position at the head of the Adriatic sea and on routes to inland Europe, Trieste is an age-old
center for maritime commerce. Romans, Franks, Goths, Venetians, In turn controlled Its deep harbor. In
Austrian hands for most of five centuries prior to World War I, Trieste
grew to rival Italy’s port of Venice.
By 1913, some 200,000 residents lived monthly eamitigs of $250.by building the ships, trans-shipping, financing and insuring the six-mil-
iion-ton volume of Euiope’s inland
trade that funneled through this "Hamburg of the Adriatic.” Vanquished in the 1914-lS war, Austria and Hungary lost thei^ Adriatic sea-
coast. Trieste and neighboring Plume, southeast across the Istrian peninsu
la, passed to Italy. Later it became
“free territory.”

Our County And
Sociat Security
By Mrs. Ruth G.uffy, Manager,
For the persons in Davie County
receiving montnly benefit checks
from Uncle Sam. the Government
Social Security program is no lon
ger an experiment.
Since tbe Old-Age and Surviv
ors Insurance went into effect Ian.
1, 1939, the number of beneficiar
ies has grown steadily. The pro
gram probably will be expanded
by Congress to include agricultur
al and domestic employees, per
sons working for non-profit in
stitutions and those working for
themselves—groups that at pres
ent are not covered bv the sys
tem. Only about three out of
five jobs are covered now.
Many of those now covered,
however, don’t understand why
that penny is taken out of every
dollar they make. A recent sur
vey shows that ot those who filed
claims during the past year, one
person out of six lost money be-
' cause the claim was filed too late.
The average loss was $143 per
claim. Let me explain how the
program works in a typical case.
John lohnson worked in a ma
chine shop until he retired on his
65th birthday last October. For
the previous 11 years, one per ct.
had been taken out of his average
Actu
ally he earned a litrie more than
that, but the tax is deducted only
from first $3,000 of yearly income.The Social Security rate tables showed Mr. Johnson was entitled
to $44.40 a month. Because his wife also is 65, she is entitled to
one-half of his benefit, so the Johnsons are now receiving a
monthly check for $66.60. If they
had a minor child, they would get
another $22.20 each month for the
1 child until he reached 18. If Mr.! Johnson dies, his widow will re
ceive a monthly check for $33.30
for life, unless she remarries,
i Here are the requirements for
Social Security benefits: (1) You
I must be 65 or over to collect Old-
! Age benefits. If you have trouble
proving your age, we will help
you. (2) If you are a wage earner, you must have worked long
enough in employment covered by the Sociar Security Act. The requirement is one-half the time
since Jan. 1, ’37, until yon are 65. The employment need not be
, continuous. (3) If you are a sur- ! vivor the wage earner must have
worked in a covered job for at least 6 of the last 13 quarters be*
fore his death. Even if , the wage ‘ earner was under 65, his widow

H PREPAR
He was^so young to have the heavy burden he was carrying, but Martha
didn't realize her son was strong mentally as well as physically, nor that he
could keep a secret as well os the next person.
“ TOEY, supper will be ready in" half an hour,” called Martha
to her son who was entering the
spring house with a bucket of milk in each hand.
*‘0. K.. Mom,” shouted the lad
in response, “I’m through with the milking. I’ll be in as soon as I
clean up.”Martha watched him a few min
utes later as he trudged toward the
house. He was big for 14, and with faithful “Shep” trotting along at
his heels, Joey made an impressive
picture against the backdrop of the setting sun.
"Just like a magazine cover,” thought Martha, as tears of pride
welled up into her eyes. Her little man. Joey had shouldered a burden
during the past year that many a
man could not have handled as well. The plowing, planting, fence re
pairs, and tlie thousand odd chores
that must be completed on a farm had all been mastered by Joey. He seemed to almost relish his role as
man of the house while dad was
way.
Day after day he had toiled in
the fields with the team while other boys his age were swimming, fish
ing, and berrying, unhampered by the cares of lalwr. But Joey had
seemed impervious to their comings and goings. Many evenings at
the supper table, Martha noticed the boy dozing from exhaustion. A
spoon or fork would often pause,
suspended mid-way between mouth and table. She never gave utterance
to this observation of weariness, lest her sympathy extinguish his
feeling of being the family breadwinner. Their conversations were
those of business partners rather than mother and son.
Martha longed to tuck him in at flight, or to hug his tow head to
her breast. Little Joey was her only
consolation injjher longing for Big Joe. Countless times during the
lonely nights, she had tiptoed quietly into his room to stand beside the
bed where he slept. Often she caressed his blond head or kissed him
lightly on the cheek as he lay deep in the refreshing sleep of child
hood. Each time, she struggled
within herself to check the tears of love and loneliness as she sUpped
quietly back to her own empty room, fearful lest she waken him
by side with Big Joe, and they had
sacrificed everything, denying themselves the very necessities of
life in order to make the pajrments on the farm. Then little Joey had
come to crown their happiness. A mutual pride and joy which they
had shared in watching other things grow on the farm had then been centered in Joey.
Martha had decided that life was practically peifect until one day
big Joe had come in from his work in mid-morning. Surprised to see
him, Martha had inquired what was wrong. Joe just stared off into space, and then he answered.
“Martha, there’s something -mrong with me. I’m weak and tired aU the
time, and I keep coughmg and coughing.”
For the first time Martha noticed how tired Joe really did look. She
suggested that he see a doctor at once, but big Joe said he probably
just had spring fever. The following
*■ ‘
come. Big Joe would never be com^
ing back. There were those who thought Martha cruel for not tell
ing the boy that his Dad wasn’t coming home. At times, she thought
she must tell him, but she postponed it, feeling that, somehow, the
right time would come . . . a time when he might be strong enough
to stand the heartbreak. Perhaps in a few weeks before Joey re. turned to school, or when Miller moved in to sharecrop the farm.
The summer had come and gone
swiftly. Already the first suggestion of impending autumn was no
ticeable in the coloring of the coimtryside. The crops had been abundant, and the harvests were
good for Joey and Martha. Many had bestowed compliments and Joey glowed with pride when the
men had remarked about the size of the yield diu^ng the threshing
season.
Returning home from a Saturday
shopping trip, the two were making big talk about the coming
school term.
“We sure were lucky to get Mill-
and bring his big world tumbling down around him.
Joey was living from day to day
in a world of big responsibility, and she could not, in spite of her long
ing to be more demonstrative toward her 14-year-old, jolt him into
reality. She told herself that was the reason why she had never told
Joey about his father.
WeU-meaning friends had tried to persuade Martha to sell the farm
and move to town. Her troubles dated from the day she had re
ceived the telegram from the Arizona hospital. Big Joe was never coming back! He had a hopeless
case of tuberculosis—^it was just a matter of months. But how could
she tell Joey? The knowledge of her unshared grief had caused her
to shed thousands of inner tears in Joey’s presence, and endless nights of heart-brealang sobs in her own room. But she felt that, somehow,
they must keep the farm that held so many fond memories.
The first days after she and Joe were married had seemed almost impossible. The work at the bam
and in the fields had continued endlessly. At first, she had worked side
“Just like a magazine cover,” thought Martha, as tears ot pride
welled up into her eyes.
Saturday when they went to town, she had persuaded him to stop in to see old Doc Crane.
It hadn’t taken Doc long to de
cide that Joe should have some X-rays. The following month the
X-rays were taken by the county health officer in the new mobile unit,
and Doc Crane’s fears had been substantiated. Doc suggested Ari
zona.
Martha could still remember those two weeks when she and Joe
had planned how they could make out if she could keep the farm going. Her father would help and
little Joey would continue to school. Big Joe was not to worry, but exert aU his effort toward getting well again.
The first year, things had gone
very smoothly indeed, until the
rheumatism laid her father on the shelf. Martha was desperate. All the
spring work lay ahead, and it was impossible to find anyone to take over the work. She had talked it
over with Joey, and together they had decided to go it alone. She
could stiU hear little Joey as he
said,
“Gee, Mom, I’m big enough to
do the work. Grampa let me plow some last year, and I’m lots big
ger and stronger now.”
So Joey had become the man of the family. Then the telegram had

er, weren’t we, Mom?” asked Joey.
“Yes, son,” replied his mother, “And not a bit too soon either. I don’t know what I would have done
with you going back to school if we hadn’t found someone to take over this winter.”
Suddenly Martha knew that the time had come to tell Joey the un
happy secret which she had carried now for lilbre than a year in her
grief-stricken heart. But how could she bring herself to do it? She must strive to make it as easy as possible.
She swung the car into their
lane, and pulled to a stop in the yard before the kitchen door. The
purchases were quickly unloaded, and Joey lighted a fire in the big kitchen range. Now w£is the time!
Even before she removed her wraps, Martha laifl her arms across Joey's shoulders, and began.
“Joey, dear, there’s something
I’ve been wanting to tell you for a long time. I’ve been so proud of
you this summer, and I . . . Well, somehow it seemed I just couldn’t spoil everything you were working
so hard for with bad news. Now you’re going back to school, and
we’re so fortunate to have Miller coming.“I want you to work hard at school this fall,” she continued as
she noted the questioning look in
his eyes. Then she simply related, “God decided that you and I had a
job to do together, Joey . . . Yoin: Father will never be able to come
home. In fact,” she continued as she struggled to hold back the tears,
‘he may have only a few more months to live.”
There was a long moment of silence . . . a moment which lasted
an eternity for Martha. “Oh, dear God, make him understand,” she
prayed silently.Joey didn’t say a word but drew
his mother’s face to his own and kissed her, tenderly and boyishly.
He patted her softly on the cheek.
“Aw, gee, Mom, I imderstand,”
he said, and the tears stood in the comers of his eyes. Martha could
see how brave he was trying to be. “Now I better take care of my feed
ing,” he said somewhat hoarsely. “Can we have the pecan roll we got
in town for our supper. Mom?” he asked as he changed from his suit coat into his overall jacket. The
coat was thrown carelessly across the seat of a nearby chair. Martha
watched him walk slowly from the room, a firm set to his shovilders.
“He took it like a man,” she
thought, as she removed her own
wraps. Then she saw his coat lying on the chair, and smiled, thinkmg, “He acts like a man in some ways, but.when it comes to his clothes, he’s aU boy.” She picked up the
coat to hang it properly. As she did so, a small notebook and some papers tumbled from the inside
pocket. Gathering them up to re
place them, Martha was startled at the sight of the yellow envelope. Could it be?It was! Among the contents of Joey’s pocket was the well-worn and much read telegram from the tuberculosis sanitarium.

THE DAVl£ RECORD.

Entered at the Postoffice inMockB- yllle, N. C.. as Second-class Mail matter. March 3.-1903.
SUBSCRIPTION RATES:

The Record is hoping that the
new year just beginning will bring
peace and happiness to a world
that is filled with wars, strife and
turmoil. The world is facing a
crisis, and no one knows what
will happen within the next
twelve months. We will hope for
the best. Now is the time that
our country needs God-fearing,
fearless men at the helm—men
whom the people can depend on
—men who have opinions and a
will to do what is right. “If the
Lord is with us, who can be a-
gainst us.” May the Lord be with
us during the coming months.
Mocksville and Davie County
have made rapid, strides during
the year that has just come to a
close. Hundreds of new homes
have been built, together with a
number of business houses. The
payrolls throughout the county
have grown, and practically all of
our people are gainfully employ
ed. Our town still has room for
a number of new mills and fac
tories. Our people are wide-a
wake, progressive citizens and can
be depended upon to help make
our town and county a better place,
in which to live. During this
year larg^sums of money will be.
used in building and enlarging
our school buildings and play
grounds throughout the county.
The Record is backing any move ;
ment that will be to the benefit of '
our town and county. !
Vfant Referendum
T hi Davie County Ministerial
Association passed a resolution at
their last meuting asking for a
state-wide referendum on beer,'
wine and liquor. If this General
Assembly fails to act on this mat
ter, petitions for a vote for the
elimination ot wine and beer in
this county will be circulated.
Telegrams were sent to ^Governor
Scott, Senator Brock and Repre
sentative Smoot, asking for their
support in a state-wide referen
dum on beer, wine and liquor.
Rev. R. M. Hardee received the
following reply from Gov. Scott:
“Thank you for your night letter requesting thal I use my in
fluence to have a state-wide refer
endum passed by the General Assembly. I assure you that 1 shall go just as far toward seeing that
this is done as the people of the
State and the members of the
General Assembly will allow me.”
Governor Scott, in his inaugur-
ai address Thursday, a,ked the
Legislature to allow the people to
vote on a referendum on the li
quor question. No one can tell
what the lawmakers will do.

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS'
Dotch Forces Overran Indonesia;
Peace Feeler Offered China Reds;
U. S. Stand Settled H War Oomes
{EDITOR’S NOTE: Wh«n oplnlona sre expressed in tbesa eolnma^ they are tbese o ! Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.
WAR IN INDONESIA . . . Describing the offensive as “police action”
against Indonesian terrorists, the Dutch government managed to invade the Indonesian republic by land, sea and air in time to enable
Dutch troops to spend Christmas on Java. The capital city, Jogjakarta (1), was captured in the first hours of fighting, and the Nether
lands forces moved easily through Indonesia In an almost bloodless
occupation.
DUTCH PUSH:
Into Indonesia
The young Indonesian republic was fallen on evil days. Dutch troops raced through Java and Sumatra
in a bloodless occupation, threaten
ing the remaining important centers of the republic.DUTCH MARINES had forged to
the outskirts of the Republican army’s only oil center on Java.
Other Netherlands forces, in a lightning thrust through western Suma
tra, were within 40 miles of the
chief Republican city on that island.Decrying charges of war and in
vasion, the Dutch termed their ac
tivities “police action.” WeU ahead of their time-table, the Dutch had
effected advances with practically no bloodshed.
International diplomats turned
eyes toward Washington where the United States had been formally
asked to grant “political and economic” support to the tiny repub
lic. The Indonesian minister had
further asked serious consideration of U. S. cutting off of MarshaU-
plan aid to the Netherlands because of the Dutch action in the
East Indies.The Dutch announcement on the
outbreak of hostilities said:
“FOLLOWING a breakdown of informal talks with the republic
after its failure to comply with its truce obligations or to reply to the
last Dutch note asking for a binding declaration on four essential
points, the Netherlands government reluctantly finds itself obliged to
take military action against terrorist activities and undisciplined
elements in the republic who render any constructive policy impossible.”
The Indonesians had some support. An American member of the
United Nations good offices com
mittee charged the Dutch had violated the Indonesian truce agree
ment signed last January after the first abortive war in Java had ended.
U . s . DECISION:
All Settled
If it comes to war with Russia,
where wUl the United States stand?
Diplomatic informants had no doubt as to the answer. Their
opinion was firm and immediate: The United States is prepared, even
in advance of a formal military alliance, to coordinate its military
forces in Europe with those of the western European powers in the
event of open conflict with Russia.
IF SHOOTING ever starts, these officials said, American forces
would come under the general operational control of the western Eu
ropean commander. Field Marshal
Viscount Montgomery, of Britain. Montgomery is chairman of the military staff committee of the
western European union.But these soiurces added that
there is no reason now more than there ever has been to consider
that war with Russia is close at hand or unavoidable. In fact, it was
said top officials have great hope that the building up of real power
in the western world by devices such as the military arrangement
for western Europe will discourage the Russians from committing any
overt act.
THE COUNTRIES in the western European union, Britain, Belgium,
France, the Netherlands and Luxembourg are negotiating now with
the United States on more permanent military arrangements. Their
embassies are working with U. S. state department officials to draft
a north Atlantic region security alliance by which the United States
would be committed to help any
member nations if any of them were attacked.
POLL-TOPPER:
Mr. Truman
If there is anything to the adage about he who laughs last laughs
best, Harry S. Truman shoidd be chuckling fit to kill himself.
He not only pole-axed the poll
sters v/ith his election victory but, snatching a hair from the dog that bit them, he turned up as the “most
admired man” in the v/orld, as far • as Americans are concerned. And
he did it in a poll—Dr. George Gallup's poU, in fact.
PEACE FEELER:
To China Reds
Time really was running out for the Nationalist government of China’s Generalissimo Chiang Kai- shek. Sun Fo, son of Dr. Sun Yat-
sen, revered “father of the Chinese republic,” was at the helm as premier and had put together a
new cabinet. "We have to fight on,” he told the cabinet, "until we can secure an honorable peace” with the Communists.
THUS WAS the cat out of the bag.
Indications were plain that if nothing could be worked out with Chiang in the saddle, he might be
unhorsed and peace brought to troubled China by other hands.
Sun’s statement, which could be viewed as a peace feeler toward
the Reds, came as the Communists tightened their squeeze on the
big northern city of Tientsin.
After his comment about an “honorable peace,” Sun added:
“I CAN ASSURE you that we win not surrender outright . .
Such a surrender, he said, would mean “scuttling” the anti-Commu-
nist front and “China would become a second Poland or Czecho
slovakia—which I am trying to prevent.”
Failure of any enthusiastic recep
tion to Madame Chiang’s “help, please” visit to Washington and of the nationalist armies to stem the Communist hordes combined to dim any hope for survival of the present nationalist regime.
GOOD NEWS:
About Food
Out of the welter of news of bad things that might happen, came
good news of food—among them report of prospects of lower prices
during 1949.
FOR INSTANCE, various food au
thorities predicted that increased food supplies would reduce to some extent the cost of setting the nation’s tables in the coming 12
months. Comments to this effect were forthcoming from the annual food-industry-review issue of the National Grocers’ bulletin, a publi
cation of the National Association of Retail Grocers.
^Too, various indexes of wholesale
prices showed the food-price level declining.
In the grocers’ bulletin. Agricul
ture Secretary Brannan said:
“The United States has entered
the door of the year of plenty.”
FOOD RETAILERS added rosy
tints to the picture with the observation that prices, besides declining slightly, would be more stable in 1949 than they have been in the postwar years.
Breadwinners and householders greeted the news warmly. Both could stand a lot of price slashing
as an ea^e in such other aggravating problems as automobile and
housing shortages, dwindling dollar value in other fields, drafting of the
nation's youth and threats to peace aboard.
DOPE:
Fewer Addicts
Federal narcotic agents could
take a breather—there were fewer dope addicts in the United States.
Three experts, writing in the Journal of the American Medical
Association, declared there are only 48,000. narcotic addicts in the nation now, and most of them are men. These experts declared that
the number of drug users has dwindled from between 150,000 to
200,000 in 1914 to about 48,000 at the last count.
Drug addiction is a symptom of
a basic underlying personality mal
adjustment, according to the experts, and victims fall into" five general classes. These are, in the order of their numerical importance:
THOSE WHO become accidentally addicted while taking drugs for
illness; those Who take drugs to relieve psychoneurotic symptoms;
psyscopathic persons who leam through association with other addicts; persons with real mental illness who feel better while taking drugs, and a minor group with "be
havior or character” disorders.
RED FACES:
In Pentagon
There were red faces in the
Pentagon buUding, seat of army bureaucracy. A citizens’ committee
had declared flatly that the nation’s military establishment is "cumber
some and costly” despite reported unification.The members speculated that
Russia might be trying to achieve “victory by bankruptcy” in forcing
the United States into constantly increasing military expansion.THAT APPRAISAL came from a
committee of the Commission on Organization of the Executive
Branch of Government, established by the last congress. Former Presi
dent Herbert Hoover heads the whole commission, Ferdinand Eber-
stadt. New York financier, is chairman of the imit reporting on na
tional security. Other members include educators, newspapermen and
business executives.The committee said that “while
unification had mads the United States far better prepared, the cost
#f defense preparations were alarmingly high in terms of money,
manpower and drain on resources.”
It cited mistakes it said had been made by the armed forces, hence
tlie red faces in the Pentagon.
It added that President Truman
might well have asked for complete mobilization if he had followed
the estimate that “an immediate military effort was afoot aboard, rather than an intensification of the
cold war.”
The agency making the mistake was not identified in the report, but
there was speculation it stemmed from the air force. It appeared, too,
that the army had somehow lost track of 9,000 of its tanks.
TAFT:
Main Event
Ohio’s U. S. Sen. Robert A. Taft,
longtime big wheel in Republican
party aflairs, iconceded in a talk
with capital newsmen that he faces a fight for his political life in 1950.
TO ONE newsman who asked if
he had any ideas of seeking the presidency in 1952, Taft replied, “I
am going to run for the senate two
years from now, Frankly, my eyes can’t see a thing beyond November 2, 1950—or whatever the date
is. It’s going to be a major con
test.”Taft was only admitting what all
Ohio politicians have known and all labor people are saying. To
them, the only question remaining is who his Democratic opponent
wUl be.TAFT RECALLED that he had
“read some place that labor has three million dollars to spend, and
they probably will spend one million in Ohio.”
Standing firm on issues which may ultimately drive him out of
the senate, Taft served definite notice of his unyielding opposition to
any administration move to repeal the Taft-Hartley law outright.
FARMERS:
IVo Croesus
Contrarary to a supposition among
many citizens, farmers were not getting rich on “boom time” prices.
THE NATIONAL Planning association found this out when it raised
the question: Should farmers use profi^ts from record-high farm prices
to buy more indoor i)lumbing, give their children better educations, or
take a trip to Europe?—or should they buy more land and expand
their farms in the hope of making
more money?The staid, competent Associated
Press sampled farmer opinion on these questions. Results: Many
farmers denied they had made any “boom time” profits, claiming that
it must have been the western cattlemen and wheat growers who
made all the money.They contended, generally, that
the high price of labor and fartn machinery ate up the profits.

Smiling happily as only a young mother can. Princess
Elizabeth poses with her baby after the royal infant had been
christened Prince Charles Fliil-
ip Arthur George of Edinburgh, The prince took all the pomp
and circumstance with tongue in cheek and thumb in month.
Can’t Stay There
Housing remained critical. In Detroit, four families vrtth a total of
15 children, faced eviction from living quarters they had set up in
voting booths. The families, all able to pay rent, were allowed to
use the vacant wooden polling shacks when they were imable to
find other housing.An official ordered the children
taken to hospitals or childyen’s homes, and gave the parents more
time to find quarters.

Presidential Inaugurations Are Mostly Circumstantial
By BAUKHAGE
Neu/s Analyst and Commentator*
WASHINGTON.— “The King is dead, long Hve the King.*’Thus the ancient rite proclaimed a new sovereign who “by the grace of God” m ust take up the scepter. At once a hundred pairs
of hands are busy preparing for the coronation. Courtiers and commoners, the noble masters and mistresses of ceremony, seam
stresses and workmen, knights and stable boys, each trained to his
task begin their work for the great event.Form and program may differ, but where kings and emperors reign,
the ceremony, according to the stern law of tradition, seldom varies in any but the smallest degree.
Only a cataclysm can effect a'^ change. I heard about my first cor- ' __ _ onation when I
BAUKHAGE
was 12 years old.
I remember it for two reasons, one
being the fact that it alm ost didn’t
come off. On the very eve of the
cerem onial day, the heir to the
throne feU iU. All celebration was
called off. And then on the day
after the event was to have taken
place, as the nation waited anxi-
iously to hear the fate of its sovereign-to-be, a shocking and ludicrous thing occurred.
One of the country’s leading newspapers came out with a report of
the coronation, mentioning even minor details just as if it occurred
(and just as it did occur later).
This journalistic faux-pas was forgotten by most people outside
of the profession, but I was to
be reminded of it when I went to '^ork on a rival newspaper in
London many years later and
heard the tale retold as a grim warning' to pressmen and journalists.
The editor of the erring journal
didn’t think he was taking much of a chance. He knew the corona
tion program never varied from the
reign of one sovereign to another. Up until that time, I suppose, no
English king had ever been rash enough to become ill and change
the program.
As a matter of fact, I didn’t take the warning seriously. Later I was
able to insert much color in my report of the wedding of a royal
German princess by the simple expedient of translating a story of the
nuptial ceremonies of her brother which had appeared in a Berlin
newspaper some years before.
But no one could attem|>t to write up the inauguration of an American
President from the account of a previous ceremony. A mere two
centuries is short enough in a nation’s history, to be sure, but many
changes have taken place in our
habits and customs since George Washington took over the presiden
tial oath of ofiice.
It is said that George Wash- ington never considered himself
America’s first President, never referred to himself or was re
ferred to by his contemporaries as such, since others served be
fore, him under the first consti-
tutron. The United States was already a nation, recognized as
such by the presence of foreign
ambassadors on April 30, 1789, the day Washington took the
oath of ofBce.
The position of the previous “presidents” was largely honorary
and not filled by popular vote, and when the day came to invest Wash
ington with the new powers, there was no precedent, no set of rules
to follow.
New York was the capital, and Gener£\J Washington set out from
Mount Vernon to New York on the long joiurney which turned out to
be a spontaneous tour of triumph with a reception at every city along
the way.
There was no dearth of ideas as to the social program. A flower- be
decked barge, accompanied by a whole flotilla of private craft, car
ried the President-Elect across the Hudson, and he was wined and dined and welcomed with gaily-bedi
zened guards of honor surrounding
him.
But when it came to the actual ceremony, a deadlock occurred.
The senate argued for an hour as to
whether it should receive the new chief executive seated or whether
the members should rise. Indeed, they might be talking still if the
house of representatives had not suddenly appeared. Washington then
entered the building with due pomp and finally was led to an outdoor
balcony where the crowds of Broad street witnessed liis oath.
That part of the ceremony—
the taking of the oath out of doors—is now an established precedent, although it was either
forgotten or ignored until James
Monroe’s day. The chamber of the senate or the house where It took place until Monroe’s time
was, however, usually open to
as many of the public as could find room.
Circumstance has contributed to
variations in the program. Besides the moving of the capital in the
early days, there have been the
cases of death in oflSce. Five times
a President has taken the oath without the usual ceremony for this reason. President William Henry Har
rison came into office as a hardy
military hero, and, scorning a carriage, rode bare-headed to the Cap
itol on horseback. A month later he died. Vice-President John Tyler was
in Williamsburg and did not reach Washmgton until two days after the
appointed date. Tyler took the oath on April 6, 1841, in Brown’s hotel in
the presence of members of the cabinet.The next emergency installation
took place when Andrew Johnson
took the oath In the Kirkwood hotel a few hours after Abraham Lincoln
had died from an assassin’s bullet. The first time that a President was
sworn in av/ay from Washington since it had become the nation’s
capital was when Vice-President Chester Arthur took the oath in his
own home in New York City shortly after the news came of President
James Garfield’s death at Long Beach.
When President William McKin
ley was shot at the Pan-American exposition, Vice-President Theodore
Roosevelt hurried to Buffalo in time
to take the oath in the home of Ans- ley Wilcox on the same day the
President expired. And most of us are familiar with the scene in the
little Northampton home where by lamplight a father, as the witnessing
notary, took the oath of his son, and
Calvin Coolidge succeeded Warren Harding who had passed away a
few hours before in a San Francisco hotel.
When Franklin Roosevelt died at Warm Springs in 1945, Harry
Truman took the. oath in the White House executive wing.
This was “public” in the sense that the door to the little office
was open, and photographers and newsmen, this one among
them, looked over each other’s
heads from the crowded cor- ridors.
Some Variations
Took Place
Another circumstance has affect
ed the procedure of the accession to office. Because of the variability of
the calendar, March fourth has four
times fallen on Sunday. Until Woodrow Wilson took the oath on Sun
day, March 4, 1917, in the President’s room in the Capitol, no Presi
dent hnd ventiared to keep the law and violate the Sabbath.
President Monroe on succeeding himself had announced simply that
he would take the oati»»on Monday, March 5. In 1849, the same thing
occurred in the case of President Zachary Taylor. But for some rea
son, President Rutherford Hayes ac
tually becaihe President before his
time. He was secrctly sworn in on Saturday, the third, the ceremony
being repeated on the fifth in public.
For some years It has been
considered necessary for an outgoing President if there is one,
to take part in the ceremony.
His presence has been as much expected in the carriage or au
tomobile which carries both men to . the Capitol as the President-Elect. This was not always
so, and both the Adamses made it a point to absent themselves,
the former leaving the city before the ceremony, and the other
taking a horseback ride at the
moment -when the guns boomed out the salute to his bitterly- hated opponent.
Perhaps the inaugural day firsl begaft to take on its present com
plexion with the advent of Presi
dent James Madison. People thronged into the capital and the
first inaugural ball was held. Presi
dent Monroe, who followed him, gave us another precedent—the
presence of the marine band. But it was left to Martin Van Buren to
bear a unique honor. He was the first American-born citizen to hold
that office. Up until his time the
Presidents were all former B riti^ subjects.
Because of the war and a desire to emphasize the "fourth-term” as
little as possible, the 1945 inauguration ceremonies of Franklin D.
Roosevelt took place on the White House poVtico instead of on a plat- fortn on the east front of the Capitol
building which is now accepted as
the usual location.No outgoing President will ride with Harry Truman this year, but
one ex-President may attend the
ceremonies. The warm feeling which exists between the former small-town boy from Missouri and
the wealthy retired engineer will undoubtedly assure Herbert Hoover
a place of honor if he wishes to accept it.
Bookshelf Offeis No
Problems to BuUder
WOODWORKING can be lots
of fun. It provides healthy relaxation and at the same time pro
vides an opportunity of building
some useful article. Many people have no conception of how
easy it is to work with wood, or how quickly household equip
ment and furniture can bo built
at home.
Working with wood pays off in two ways—it provides tlie means
.s s i
whereby you can obtain articles
your home needs at less than half their cost if bought ready
made, and at the same time it
offers the best kind of entertainment.
The pattern for making this
bookshelf, like aU other fuU size woodworking patterns, is easy to
use. Merely trace the pattern on
the wood, saw and assemble. The pattern shows exact location of
shelves, screws, etc. No special tools or skill are required.

Secretary Royall Disapproves
TT ISN’T being advertised, but one * high official who frowned on the
prosecution of Jap war lords was the top man in the army department—Secretary of the Army Kenneth Royall.
When Joseph B. Keenan, patriotic attorney who spent two years
of his life as war-crimes prose
cutor in Tokyo, reported to RoyaU the other day, the secretary of the
army stated flatly that he was dead opposed to war-crimes prosecution.
“Suppose something should happen in Berlin to cause a war,” argued Royall. “The Russians might
shoot General Clay as a war criminal—it we set this precedent.”
“They probably would,” replied Keenan. “Those are the risks that
brave men take.“But,” continued Keenan,
“when a boy of 20 is taken from
his home through no fault of his, and put on a transport, and sails
up to Okinawa and then is told by his commander to take that island, though he may not want to go at all and though he Imows
his chances of coming out alive
are almost nil—then I say that the war lords who start such a
war must be punished.
“It -was no fault of millions of American boys that they had to
leave their homes. It was the fault of a little group of men sitting safety in Tokyo who decreed that Japan
n-as to rule the Pacific. And when ;ve make an example of them,” concluded Keenan, “there will be less chance of war in the future.”
NOTE: Secretary of the Army Royall defended the Nazi saboteurs in court when they were tried as spies during the war. He also has
done his best to discourage the war-crimes trials at Nuremburg.
However, this is the first time Roy-
aO put himself on record so bluntly regarding a policy which has been
officially adopted by the U. S. government.
U. s. Toys With Peace
Recently, a Latin American president who had disbanded his army
and announced to the world that his colonels now would become school teachers, appealed to the Pan American union for aid.
His country, Costa Rica, had just
signed the Pan-American mutual defense pact, a history-making doc
ument pledging all Pan-American nations to come to each others’ help
—a pact rightfully expected to make the western hemisphere a
peaceful model in contrast with chaotic, wam-torn Emope.
And having trusted this pact, and disbanded his army, President
Figueres of Costa Rica appealed to the Pan-American union.For six hours the union debated this emergency call. They
discussed, argued, orated. This is not unusual. Pan-^erican
meetings always lean heavily on forensics, and it always takes
strong leadership ftfm the Unit
ed States in consultation with. Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexi
co and a few others to harness
the oratory and arrive at definite conclusions.At this meeting, the U. S. A. was
represented by charming, ineffectual Paul Daniels, chief of the Amer
ican republics division. Everyone likes Daniels, but Latin American
ambassadors aren’t guided by his judgment He is considered a No.,
3 man ,’n a badly muddled state de* partmeKt.
Previous Peace Precedents
In contrast, here is how the Unit
ed States handled earlier threats of war.
1. WHEN war threatened between Bolivia and Paraguay in 1928,
Charles Evans. Hughes and Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg met
aU day, Hughes was an ex-secretary of state, ex-presidential can
didate—one of the biggest men in the nation. So was Kellogg. The fact that they dropped everything,
concentrated all their time on peace,
made a profound impression in Latin America.
2. AVUEN war threatened between Russia and China in Manchuria in
1S30, Secretary of State Stimson staged a meeting of every ambas
sador and minister at the White
House. He used not only the force of his own dynamic personality, but
also the prestige of the White House to demand that the two nations
cease belligerent moves.' He suc
ceeded.3. ^VHEN various warlike moves were made between Peru, Colombia, Venezuela and Central Ameri
can countries. Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles, a man vrith
great prestige tluoughout Latin America, acted in person. Peace was too precious. He did not leave
matters to subordinates.Yet Tjfhen the vital test of the Pan-American defense pact came up this week. Secretary of State Marshall issued no statement from his sick bed, President Truman kept silent,'and Acting Secretary Lovett
was nowhere to be found. A No. 3 man without even the rank of assistant secretary represented the great and poweriul U. S. A.No wonder the meeting adjourned
with no real result. No wonder Latin America got the impression that the U. S. wasn’t much inter
ested in the defense pact.
Ringold L^dy Dora
Tops Hampshire Sows
Raises Total of 71
Pigs to Weaning Age
First of her Hampshire breed to become a “seven-star” sow. Bin- gold Lady Dora No.' 753,056 has raised a total of 71 pigs to weaning age, an average of 10.1 pigs
per Utter. This record is more impressive when compared with national averages. According to
U. S. department of agriculture reports, the national average is 6.18
Here, with her seventh “star” family, is Bingold Lady Dora
No. 753,056, champion production sow in the Hampshire breed and the first of her kind to qualify as a “seven-star” sow.
spring pigs and 6.39 fall pigs per
litter raised to weaning age.To qualify for a star in the Hamp
shire production registry a sow must raise a Etter of at least eight
pigs, without fault or defect, to weigh 320 pounds within 56 days
of farrowing. And of course to gain a “seven-star” record Ringold
Lady Dora has repeated this per
formance seven times. She is the first sow in the Hampshire breed to be listed for either the sixth or seventh “star” litters.
In her seventh “star” litter, this
sow farrowed 15 pigs, nine of which were saved. The eight selected for
registration weighed 443 pounds at 56 days after farrowing.
The production champion was fed a ration containing corn, oats, al
falfa and pelletized milk byproducts prior to farrowing. Her
pigs were creep fed early and raised on a ration of seven parts com and
three parts oats, with 3 per cent
milk by-products added.Ringold Lady has been owned
and bred by William C. Goodheart, Jr., of Eaton, Ohio, since 1944, and
was sold to Meadowlark Farms, Inc., Sullivan, Ind.
Farm Production Costs
Farm production costs have near
ly tripled since the pre-war years
of 1935-39, according to U. S. department of agriculture statistics.
These costs totaled 14.9 billion dol
lars in 1947, compared with 5.2 billion before World War II’s out
break. Farm wages are now three
and a half times the 1935-39 average.
' Meanwhile, farm prices have slumped and many economists ex
pect a further easing in months ahead. Com and wheat are already
25 to 40 per cent under their early 1948 peaks.
Farmers can best meet the im
pact of higher production costs and lower prices by good soil manage-
FfkRM PRODUCTION COSTe
ment that steps up crop producing
efficiency and lowers output coste per unit.
Good soil management involves no magic or myste^. It simply
means playing fair with the soil by returning organic matter and plant
nutrients used up by constant crop
production. Organic matter can be restored by growing deep-rooted
legimies such as alfalfa or sweet clover in the rotation and plowing
them under for green manure.
When the soil is restocked with organic matter and plant food you will get Ugher yields and you will
cut your'productibn costs.
Dry Skim Milk Retailed
Novr in Small Packages
Now that dry skim milk—officially called non-fat dry milk solids—
is on retail markets in small pack
ages for home use, th r i^ homemakers have a convenient, economical product to build up the nu
tritive value of family meals.
The ease and convenience of its use as well as its high nutritive
value justify its place along with flour, sugar and salt on the pantry
shelf of every homemaker.

His Growing Years
Lesson for January 16,1949
Dr. Foreman
■pvoUBTLESS God can do any- ^ thing he wants to do. He could
have sent Jesus to earth on a moonbeam; he could have had him for______ the first 30 years
^ of his life on a ^ ^ lonely peak in the
? ‘ Andes, far fromany hiunan dwell
ing; he could have sent him into the
world full-grown, without ever hav
ing to go through
the grind of growing and learning as
the rest of US' do. But-God did not plan it that way.
If the manhood of Jesus was to be real, and not a hothouse facsimile,
he had to come up the hard way.
Angels do not grow, they just are; but human beings grow. The great
difference between Jesus and ordinary mortals is not that they grow
and he did not; the difference is that he grew straight.« ♦ *
No ‘Good Chance’
'^ H E world around us makes its impression on us; it makes no
impression on doUs. They go on smiling their built-m, painted-on
smiles, but we have to learn through tears. And so did Jesus.
The heavenly Father saw to it that his experiences were not always
easy one. He was bom in a stable, of parents who were very poor, liv
ing the first few years of his life as
a displaced person in a foreign country, with a price on his baby
head.
He grew np in a village “off
the main line,” among com
panions not one of whom ever became fam ous, working
through long years at a simple and not too well-paid trade.
During Jesus’ first 30 years his
neighbors < never guessed that the most extraordinary person of history was living in their
village.
■We sometimes wish that we had kn easier time of it, and that God
had seen fit to cast our lot in some big city with a rich family, in
stead of where we are. 'We feel we could be better people if we “had
a chance.” Yet every reader of these lines has a far better chance
than Jesus. It did not take perfect surroimdings to shape a perfect
life.• • •
Holy Fam ily
WE CALL Joseph and Mary and the rest the “Holy Family,”
but they were not known that way
in Nazareth. They were just Joseph the carpenter, and his Mary.
Then there were the boys and
girls; Mark (6:3) teUs the boys’ names, but no one ever remem
bered to put down the sisters’ names. Even then it was no small
family. Jesus, as the oldest of seven, would have many responsibil
ities. After Joseph’s death he would be the chief breadwinner. Seeing
that the rent was paid, that there was grain in the house for Mary
to grind into meal, finding money
for clothes for seven growing chil- ■iren—this could not have been
asy for Jesus the young carpenter.
They were not an easy family to Uye with, those boys and
girls. 1i^en Jesus later began his work of teaching and healing, we hear that even his
brothers did not believe in him.
But in spite of the brothers, there was always Mary. Mother-like, she loved her first-hom
as no other could or did.
There are some who worship her
as “Queen of Heaven;” but it is
enough for us to remember that she was queen of the home where
Jesus the child ^ew to be Jesus the man. Not this side of heaven
can we know how much we owe, as Christians, to this one woman,
whose mind and spirit were woven
into the thought and spirit of her Son.* • •
Home Memories =
INDEED, Jesus’ whole boyhood
was woven into his mai^ood.
Among life’s most precious memories are those of oitr growing
years. Later on, we can see how Jesus’ mind was bright with mem
ories of home. The parables of the patched garment, of the leaven hid
den in the meal, of the poor woman hunting with a lamp for her one
lost coin, of the hungry neighbor at midnight, of the son who said
“I go” but did not go—these and many others may well be echoes
of Jesus’ boyhood home. Deeper than these are Jesus’ habits of prayer, liis fondness for calling God
“Father,” his familiarity with Scrip- titte even in death’s agony—here
surely are patterns learned in childhood’s growing years.

THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVIKLB N C„ JANUARY 12. .949
By CAROLYN GRANT
TT WAS late when old Dan left thelaundry where he worked, and
snow fell in great flakes from the dark sky. He stopped for a monnent
along the street, unmindful of the
eager passersby and their thought
less jostling against him in ^heir haste on this last night before
Christmas. He lifted his face so that the soft flakes fell against his
cheeks and melted in cold little drops of water that sought the deep
lines sixty odd years had put there.Snow was a part of Christmas,
and after days of hesitancy it had come—just as he and Maggie had al
ways wanted it. “Snow makes the
lights seem brighter in the store windows, along the decora ed streets
of our little town and in our home on our tinsel-draped cedar tree. Wc
haven’t missed many ChriFtmases. Dan, having our snow.” It seemed
long ago since Maggie had said that.
Years, it seemed. Yet it had been only last year that they'd stood at their front window looking out at
the dark sky, and Maggie’d .said
those words almost like a prayer.Dan sighed ’and let his chin drop
into the upturned collar of his overcoat and started on. He wished the
snow hadn’t come. With Maggie gone, he could hardly bear its soft
falling of down about him. He wanted to close his eyes against Hs
brightness with the street lights shining upon it. He wanted to close his
ears against the soft music that
came from radios along the streets playing Christmas carols, and
“White Christmas"—the song Mag
gie loved best.Christmas haS come again. But
for him there'd be no Christma.-i—

Be stopped in front of Carter’s
store, but minutes passed before he realized that he’d stopped
there.
not any more. There’d be only
memories of other Christmases eddying about him as the swirling
snow, and the plans he and M?.g-
gie’d made for this Christmas even
before they’d carried out the last would pass without realization, now that Maggie wasn’t here to help him
carry them through.
He stopped in front of Carter’s store, but minutes passed befp -p hp
realized that he’d stopped there
and was staring without actually seeing the array of Christmas toys
behind the big plate glass window. His mind w^s going back. H»
seeing again the glow in Maggie's face as each Christmas they’d shop
together for others.Last year it had been the widow
Benson and her six little Bensons-. who vsrould have been forgotten by
Santa if they hadn’t bought them gifts. Long ago they’d begun the
ritual. They had no children of their own. But Maggie’d said, ‘‘We'll
pretend that the children about us are ours.” And her whole life had
been one of giving at Christmas.This year they’d planned for the
O’Shays. They lived in a little house down back of the old depot. “Little Billy’s just four and he’s never had
a wagon, Dan,” Maggie’d said,
planning even as they trudged through the snow with their gayly
wrapped gifts for the Ben.-^ons. “And
little Jeep has never had a doll that can talk and go to sleep.”
Dan shifted his feet, standing
there in front of Carter’s, and snow gathered along the stoop of his
shoulders. Somewhere among Maggie’s belongings was a list of the
things she’d planned to buy the O’Shays. He remembered it. Each
Item came clear to him suddenly
as the ringing of a bell, and it was as if Maggie stood by him then,
warm and alive. She touched hi<: arm and together they went into
the store with its crowd of excited late shoppers.
A clerk came up to Dan. “Something, sir?” Dan’s eyes were filmed,
but they were watery from age and being out in the cold wind, the clerk thought.
“Yes,” Dan said. “I have a long list of things to buy.”
Maggie smiled, he knew he saw
'her smile, and she got to talking like she used to talk when they went
out together to buy gifts on Christmas Eve.“We’re like a house, Dan,” she
said. “We can close the doors and windows and others can’t tell what
we have locked inside. We live to
bring happiness to others and for the good that we can do.”
Dan looked up above packages piled high in his arms and smiled
He said to the clerk, “Merry Christmas, and now we’ll be on our way.”
The clerk looked strange. Old people, he thought, were queer, and
he called after Dan, “Merry Christmas to you, too, sir! Merry Christ- m u t”
What Witch Hunt? I;
“No Communist, no matter how \ many votes he should secure in a '
national election, could, even if he
would, become President of the present government. When a Communist heads the government of
the United States—and that day will come just as surely as the sun
rises—the government will not be a capitalist government but a Soviet
government, and behind this government will stand the Red army to
enforce the dictatorship of .ths proletariat.”
Please read the above quotation again. Could an American have said that? Or does it sound like a
mussage from Moscow? Itideed, everything in that statement is un-
American. It was written by Wil- . liam Z. Foster, head of the Com-
’ munist Party in the United States. This statement is reprinted in large
type on the back of a pamphlet prepared and distributed by a Commit-
: tee of the U. S. House of Represen-
I tatives. This is the Committee that
. is accused of “witch-hTmting.”
I Sworn Statement
Nor is the Congress guilty of dis-
. tributing the sayings of Communists ; as propaganda for the Soviets. The
■ publication which carries Mr. Fos-
' ter’s sworn statement is very much . anti-Communist. The booUet is
• called: “100 Things You Should Know About Communism in the
U. S. A." It is one of a series of five public ations “on the Communist
conspiracy and its influence in this
country as a whole, on religion, on education, on labor and on our gov
ernment.”
By giving Mr. Foster a prominent position on the back cover of this
booklet, our Congress hoped to show Americans that native Communists
really condemn themselves when^ ever they open their mouths. In the
quotation, there is revealed Communism’s greatest appeal: the lust
for power, and the urge to dominate others that some people have.
There Is revealed also its greatest weakness, for people everj’where do not like to be dominated by force.
People like to be free.
Light and Facts
The Congressional Committee to which I refer is the Committee an
un-American Activities. If you have ever listened to the palaver of Communists or the “fellow travelers”
(Communist sympathizers), the chances are you have heard this
Committee of Congress strongly criticized. Like the committee says^
the right answers given in the booklet. by using the facts, must cer
tainly infuriate the Communists. Itis
true also that many of these right answers will shock the average citi
zen who has not studied the “ism”
closely.
It is not my purpose to apologize
for fte Committee on un-American Activities. No apologies are need
ed. It has done a great service to the American people in a time when
light and facts are needed to clear up so much confusion. If the Com
mittee has made minor mistakes in the course of its work, it has at the
same time done a glorious job in reselling our people on the Ameri
can way of life. It has opened the dark secrets of Communist conspirators.
Hired Men
T|ie Communist policy is to break
down existing nations any way they can, and in the confusion to seize control. They will promise
every kind of “better life,” but they have never been known to de
liver it. As an American I am thankful for the work the Committee has done. I say with the Com
mittee: “You know what the United States is like today. If you want it
exactly the opposite, you should turn Communist. But before you do, re
member you will lose your independence, your property, and your
freedom of mind.”

Aimt Sarah brought to church
meetings an acrid wit which often
dispelled the dullness of the proceedings like warm sunshine dispelling
the morning dew.
Not long ago the dirtiness and slovenliness of the janitor, old Pete, |
came under discussion, and it was generally agreed that he would have
to be discharged. But kind-hearted
old Mrs. Smythe. as usual, inter
vened on the side of mercy.“I hate to see the old fellow go,”
she exclaimed pityingly. “He may
be dirty and unkept on the outside, hut, my friends, I am sure he is
clean and pure on the inside. Do we have to discharge him?”
“That or turn the dirty beggar
inside out,” Aunt Sarah wryly challenged.
Off the RecordA customer in a Boston animal
store was contemplating the pur
chase of a parrot^ which, so far, had evidenced no sign of life other
than to cock a malevolent eye at
her. Finally, she asked, “Does he talk?”
The salesman looked embarrassed.
“Yes, ma’am, he talks, but he
doesn’t wish to be quoted.”
A LINE AGCESSORT
The boss and clerks had gone out for lunch, leaving only a pretty
young bookkeeper in charge of the store. A handsome young man
entered and asked:
“Do you keep auto accessories?”
To which the young lady smiled and replied:
“Only me.”
SIGHTSEEING TOUR
The inexperienced golfer had led his c?.ddy a merry chase.
“Do yoa think I’m the worst play
er on the links, S::m?” he asked.
“Well, Mr. Junes, I wouldn’t exactly say that,” answered Sam
diplomatically. “But I’ve cer
tainly seen places on these links today that I’ve never seen be
fore."
PURPLE WITH RAGE
Aid to Oil and Gasoline Peak output of gasoline and fuel
oil can be maintained by adcl ng antiseptics to the water used in re
fineries for cooling purposes, it ha.« been reported to American, Chemi
cal society. The slime formed by water-borne bacteria in a single
month can reduce operating capacity 25 per cent by clogging pipes Small amounts of chlorine, phenol oi
other bactericidal chemicals in the
water keeps the equipment almost entirely free from choking slime for
as long as four months. Bacteria
themselyes comprise only about 25
per cent of the deposit, the rest con sisting of minerals and debris en trapped in the sl-Vne. Practical ex
perience indicates that formation of
slime can be observed continuously without halting plant operation by checking the cooling efficiency of
the water pipes, according to the
report.
Alaska’s Schfo! System
Alaska is the only area governed
by the United States that ha.® two public school .systems-one by Hie
federal government and the other by the territory. The federal gov

however, attendance is pr.ncti'-eri

A f t e r a few words, mostly spoken by the young wife, her
husband sprang to his feet.
‘You’ve gone too far,” he ex
claimed, angrily. “This is our last
quarrel. I’m going right out of your life.”
"Oh, Henry, darling, where are
you going?” she cried.
"Where I’ll never trouble you

where wild adventure will wipe out
the memories of this moment—per

Russia is waging a “cold war” on
Soviet cows, hoping to make them give more milk. And, according to
reports from Moscow, it’s working out all right. Late in the 1920's, a
Russian veterinarian started a breed
ing project in which calves would be raised in unheated bams in a dry,
cool climate where the temperature runs around 5 degrees Fahrenheit
He began with a few selected cattle and several pairs of earmuffs. The
muffs were provided to keep the ears
of newborn calves from freezing. It is claimed that this project has now
brought forth a sturdy line of cows
"-tinguished for high production and
bi-' ivity of production. One of the exr.c;.--ntal cows is 19 years old

In 1946 about 65 million Easter

Varied Uses of Buttermilk
Use.> for buttermilk are similar to
those for skim milk. It is a desirable
component of bakery products and other foods, the condensed and dried
forms being the most convenient
ones. Fluid and condensed buttermilk are fed to animals and dried butter
milk is fed in mixed feeds. Casein made from buttermilk is different in
many respects from skim-milk case
in. For most purposes it is less desirable than casein from skim milk, but for casein paints it is especially suit
able, provided it is used in paste
form without being dried.

Our County And
Social Security
By Mrs. Ruth G.uffy, Manager,
About one of every four per
sons receiving Old-Age and Sur
vivors Insurance benefits is a child
under 18. We have had many in
quiries asking if a wage earner’s
step-child can receive the same a-
mount as his own children. A
step-child receives as much bene
fit as a wage earner’s own child.
However, before monthly benefits
can be paid to a step child, cer
tain requirements must be met.
In the case of a living retired
worker, the child must be a step
child by a marriage that has ex
isted for at least 36 months be
fore the application is filad. The
child must be unmarried and un
der 18 years of age. The child
must be dependent on the worker
at the time the application is filed*
If a child is living vrith or being
supported by hi.s own father he
would not be considered depcnd-
endent on his step-father. In case
of a deceased worker the child
must be a step child must be a
step-child by a marriage that has
existed for at least 12 full calen
dar months before ne died. Other
requirements are: the child must
be unmarried; must be under 18;
and must have been dependent
upon the worker at the time of
the workers death.
Recently a widow came .into
our office and gave the interviewer
the following facts: Her husband
had died two months before. She
had been married to him for more
than 2 years. She had one child
1 year old and another child by a
prior marriage who was 7 years
old. She asked if benefits could
be obtained for the childr.-n. She
said that her husband had told her
he had been working under the
Social Security Act since it began
and for her to get in touch with
the local office if he should die.
But neither her husband nor her
self had ever checked with the
office to see if the husband’s step
child was eligible. We were hap
py to inform the widow that both
children would get monthly bene
fits until they became 18 and that
each would get the same amount.
You see, the widow knew that
the wage earner’s chi d would be
entitled to benefits but did not
know whether or not the step
child could receive benefits. For-
tumately, she and her husband
had discussed Old-Age and Sur
vivors Insurance so she knew
where to get the answers to her
questions. She also knew that
the claim had to be filed within 3
months after the month in which
her husband died to prevent loss
of benefits.

FICTIONCotnev IL
I STILL DONT LIKE IT, FRANKIE
By COLIN DELL
Frankie had big idsas but when he struck what he thought was real pay
dirt, Louie rebelled, albeit meekly. Everything went smoothly enough, but
that, as far as Louie was concerned, was whot was wrong— It was too smooth.
C'R.W KIE LIBOLD switched off
^ the ignition and the green sedan glided to the curb and stopped,
only a few feet from the winding footpath in Jackson Park.
“How’s that for timing, Louie?” he asked in a suave, cocky voice
that matched his personality. “I told you the old boy’s as regular In his habits as a night watchman. I ain’t been clockin’ him all week
for nothin’.”
Louie Ferensic eased a -.38 automatic from his shoulder holster
and dropped it into his right-hand coat pocket. He looked like an un
dertaker and talked like he looked.
"I stm don’t like it, Frankie,” he said slowly. “I still don’t like it.”
Frankie’s hard black eyes gleamed contempt. He snorted de-'
risively, then turned his attention to the figure advancing along the
graveled footpath.
He was an old man, but his
bearing was upriglit and dignified. His progress was leisurely and the
reason was evident. It was a white cane he carried in his right hand.
The tap-tap-tap of the metal- tipped walking stick rang clear in
the afternoon air as the old man felt his way along the brick-
bordered path. He was within ten
feet of the car when Frankie Li- bold and Louie Ferensic closed in,
one on either side.
“.^11 right, graa'pop, just take it easy and do as you’re told and
you won’t get hurt,” Frankie Li- bold said. He prodded the old fel-
lov»’ with a blunt-nosed revolver. "Just keep on walkin’ and act natural.”
Tlie blind man faltered for an
instant and a shadow flicked across his face. Not fear, perhaps, but
sometliing akin to it. Then Louie
Ferensic grasped his arm and urged him forward and into the car.
He remained silent during the forty-five minute drive -to the west
side, seemingly stunned by the unexpected. He allowed himself to be
led to the second-floor hide-out
without causing a disturbance. He sat quietly while Frankie Libold
adjusted the h a n d c u ffs that shackled him to a low iron cot.
The tw'o gunmen moved to a window overlooking the street and
talked in low tones. “You and your hunches,” said Frankie. He sneered
at his morose associate. “It came off without a hitch, just like I said
it would. And if this caper don’t bring us a hundred grand my name
ain’t Frankie Libold.”
“Maybe so,” said Louie, “but I
still don’t like it.” He shot a glance at the old man where he sat dis
consolate on the bed. “I only hope his old lady keeps her head and leaves the G-men out of it.”
The pair talked on in husky monotones while they kept an eye on
the cars crossing the busy intersection below. The bells of a Cath
olic church tolled the Angelus. Sounds began filtering up from the bowling alley on the first floor—
the sharp click as the ball hit the
polished surface of the alley, the echoing crash of the pins. The ac
rid exudations of a varnish factory tainted the air.
Frankie Libold stretched lazily
and suppressed a yav.’n. “I’m going out and get a paper,” he told
Louie. “Soon as I come back we’ll get down to business.”
He was back again in less than
fifteen minutes, and he came in
waving a n e w sp a p e r. “She talked,” he growled, tossing the
paper to Louie. “Get a load of those headlines.” “RETIRED IN
DUSTRIALIST BELIEVED KIDNAPPED,” Louie read. And in smaller print: C. M. Carter, blind
m illio n a ir e , disappears during daily stroll in Jackson Park.
It was a two-column spread, com
plete with diagrams and indignant editorials.
Louie Ferensic dropped the paper in disgust. “Wha’d I teU you?” he ■ demanded accusingly. “Now what are we going to do?”
“Do? Why, the same thing we started out to do, you idiot!” Frankie snapped. He walked to a
He put it in a plain envelope, addressed it, and attached a special delivery stamp. “Take it over
on the south side and mail it,” he
told Louie. “And be careful you’re not picked up on the way.”
A near-sleepless night left the
kidnappers in worse spirits than ever. They snapped at each other
like dogs. “Get out of here and get yourself some breakfast,” Frankie ordered gruffly. “And don’t be aU day about it. I’m himgry too.”
Louie Ferensic yanked his hat down low on his forehead and stalked out without a word.
Frankie stared after him, his face a twisted mask of hatred. He laughed deep in his throat. “Still don’t like it, eh?” he mut
tered half to himself. "I’U give you
something you’ll like even less after we collect that hundred G’s,

table and picked up a plain sheet of typewriter paper. “Get him
something to write on,” he told
Louie. “We’ll get this ransom note done now and put it in the mail.
She’ll pay off or else.”Louie pulled an empty drawer
from a dresser and laid it upside down on the bed. Frankie started to lay the paper on it, then drew
back. “Can’t you get anything better? This thing’s got nails coming
up through the bottom.” His smoldering eyes raked across his unresponsive partner. “Skip it,” he growled. “Just skip it.”
He slapped the paper down on
the rough surface and thrust a fountain pen into the blind man’s
hand. “Here.” He took the hand and guided it to the paper. “Feel
around on this so you can teU what you’re doin’, then write ex
actly what I teU you to write. And watch those nails, you’re punching
a hole in the paper.”The sensitive fingers of the re
tired industrialist explored the makeshift desk, then the pen in
his hand came to rest at the proper point. Frankie began dic
tating—slowly, for the blind man
seemed to have trouble finding a smooth surface to write on. He
kept shifting and rearranging the
paper, this way and that, but finally the note was completed.
Frankie Libold studied it carefully. “It’s all full of holes from them
nails,” he announced finally, "but at least she’ll know it’s his handwriting.”
and it won’t be half the money, either.”
He paced to and fro between the
window and the door for a few minutes, then sat down at the table and began playing solitaire.
He was arranging the cards for a second game when he heard foot
steps in the hall outside.The door swtmg inward and Louie Ferensic stood framed in the open
ing. Then suddenly he came hur* tling into the room catapiilted by
the foot of a man standing direct' ly behind him.
“Don’t shoot, Frankie!” Louie
screamed as he fell. But he might just as well have saved his breath.
Frankie Libold was covered by half a dozen guns before he had time to move.Several of the plain clothes men
frisked Franlcie and relieved him of his gun and the handcuff key.
Another, obviously in charge, crossed the room ‘to the bed and
released the blind man.The old fellow was smiling in a pleased manner. “I see you got my message in time, officer,” he said, seeking his rescuer with sightless eyes.
“We did, Mr. Carter, and I think that was a pretty clever idea, too
—punching it in braiOe on the ransom note. All we had to do was
locate a bowluig alley on an in
tersection, with a Catholic church and a varnish factory in the same neighborhood, and that wasn’t hard at all.”
Louie Ferensic glared at his gaping partner. “You see?” he said spitefully. “I told you I didn’t like it.”

No Greater Prophet
Lesson for January 23, 1949
Dr. Foreman
* * 0 ^ ALL the characters in his- tory, which one do you ad
mire most?” We know how Jesus answered that interested question.
He had a great array of personages
from whom to make his selection.
But he took as the Great Man of all
time, up to his own
generation, no heroic figure from
the. past, no king,
general, scholar or prophet. The great
est man, for Jesus at least one so great that he
could think of none greater—was one of his own contemporaries, a
cousin of his who was in jail at the
time when Jesus said of him, “Among those born of women none
is greater than John.” Known to us as, John the Baptist, that is, John the Baptizer, we seldom realize
either his greatness or the close
connection between his life and that of Jesus.• « m
John of the Jordan
W E DO not know how much Jesus himself owed to John.
We do know that John was the man who first called the public’s atten
tion to Jesus. John it was who gave some of Jesus’ most important dis
ciples their first training; John who introduced to Jesus, and turned over
to him, some of his own followers. It may be significant too that Jesus’
first preaching was identical with that of John (compare Matthew 3:2
and 4:17).
Some Christian scholars have
gone so far as to suppose that it was John’s preaching that
stirred the young carpenter from Nazareth to leave his shop
and begin his great work as
teacher.
Whether this is so or not, we do know that it was the baptizing by
John which led to the ba^ism of Jesus, and that Jesus’ baptism was
the toning-point between Jesus’ private life and his short and
stormy public career. It is quite
clear that if there had been no John the Baptizer, the story of Jesus would have been very differ-
ent from what it actually was.* * *
Only a Voice
JOHN’S own picture of himself is
^ not a picture at all. When they asked him to say what he was, and
half-expected him to declare that he was the Messiah, the long-
looked for King, John said only, “I am the voice of one crying in the
^jrilderness.”
John, so far as we know,
never accepted dinner invitations, he was never under the
roof of any friend, and he had
no roof of his own. People even called him demon-possessed, he
was so far removed from ordinary life.
But Jesus was always in people’s
homes. That is one reason why the
greatness of John fades before the greatness of Jesus, for a Voice
makes a poor companion. Jesus had the human sympathy that John
lacked, and John w'ell knew this. “He must increase, but I must decrease,” he said.* * «
Repentance: Seed andF iuit
TSJEVERTHELESS the Voice ’ spoke truth. John must have been a powerful preacher, for his
meetings were held miles from the nearest town, so that to reach him
from Jerusalem one would have to travel through wild country in
fested with bandits. Few modern
preachers, without benefit of advertising, music or choir, without even a tent, would dare to start a
revival meeting 15 rough miles out of tovm. But John did—and the
people came in crowds. We do-not have the fuU report of his preach
ing that we have of the preaching of Jesus, but we do know that b«
broke the hard crust of his listeners’ conscience.
He made them see how unfit
they were for the Kingdom of God for which they prayed; he
broke down their pride till they went down to the Jordan and
were baptized under the open
sky, in public confession o f' their sins.
When men asked him. What shall we do? John did not have the full
er, higher message that Jesus later
had. But he did make plain two things about the good life, the life that pleases God: it cannot even
begin without repentance and confession of sin, but it does not end
there. Repentance is not a simple granite milestone on life’s way; it
is a seed which if it is real will bear fruit.

‘WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS'
Truman Asserts Red Aims Split
As Some Leaders Desire Accord;
Dutch Firm on Indonesian Stand
INDONESIA:
Dutch Stubborn
Stubbornness is a characteristic
trait of the Dutch—and Holland
was running true to form. Despite announcement by the United
States, from which she is receiving
Marshall plan aid, that the invasion of Indonesia must stop, the
Dutch said, in effect, they’d think the order over.
THE UNITED NATIONS was
concerned, but a Russian step to the fore in demanding a cease
fire order and troop withdrawal in 24 hours did the Indonesians no
good. This time, the U. S. abstained from voting and the Rus
sian proposal lost.
However, the American position was difficult of understanding, and the statement of American delegate
Philip Jessup did little to clarify it.
“I decline to be put in a false position by other delegations,” he
said. “The record of the United States on Indonesia is before the
world.”
BUT ALSO BEFORE the world was the issue of American prestige
and the integrity of the Marshall plan. America stood for help for Indonesia; America controlled the
powerful weapon of economic aid to the Dutch. Yet, America, as yet,
had delivered no ultimatum to the
nation whose foray into Indonesia was being helped by American
dollars. And the American dele
gate had declined to vote for a cease-fire order in the Indonesian
fighting — joining Great Britain in
the vote declination.Whatever else was true, and re
gardless of motives, the assertion of the Soviet Ukranian delegate
appeared to be true. He charged;
“Without United States financial help, the Netherlands would have
been unable to wage war in Indonesia.”

COLD WAR:
Someone Tiring
If Harry S. Truman were right,
then possibility of war with Russia
was less than many Americans imagined. In a "surprise” state
ment during an unheralded appearance at a luncheon in Kansas
City, President Truman declared bluntly that “certain leaders” in
Russia “are exceedingly anxious
to reach an agreement with the United States to end the cold war.”THEN THE PRESIDENT lashed
out with an accusation that the
Soviets have violated “sacred” agreements and said their govern
ment “has a system of morals that are not moral.”
Deliberately or not. President Truman was baring some closeted
secrets when he said during that speech that the Russians had not
kept important agreements made at Yalta- and Potsdam. By that
statement, the President was conceding charges of long duration
that certain commitments were
made at these two parleys with
the Russians which were not generally known, and results of which
led to accusations that American diplomacy had failed miserably in
negotiations with Russia’s Josef
Stalin.The President’s position was far
from an earlier expansive state
ment that Stalin was a “nice old feUow.”
He did not identify the Red leaders who prefer an “understanding”
—as he put it—with the United
States, but he asserted tliat there are Soviet top men who have no de
sire for war. Neither did the President say whether any overtures had
been made by such Russian leaders.The President said frankly: “I
made certain specific agreements at Potsdam, none of which have
been kept. Certain agreements were made at Yalta, none of which
have been kept.”
He reiterated that "all the United States wants is peace.”
Usually pontifically . serious.
Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio was in an expansive mood as he chat
ted with newsmen on his return to Washington followins a tour
of Europe. He praised the operation of the economic cooperation
administration (Marshall plan).
Operation ‘Tactful’
Sociology was looking up. The Australian Legion of Ex-Service
men and Women had taken up the task of helping young veterans and
their wives with “in-law” troubles. They started a scheme to enable
veterans forced by housing shortages to live with parents-in-law
to exchange homes with others.Spokesmen for the legion said
many English marriages had been
saved from disaster by a similar scheme operating in Britain. They found couples could live happier
with strangers where they were
paying guests.
FOR CHINA:
Watch and Wait -
U. S. policy on China, for the
time being at least, appeared tc
be one of watching and waiting, coupled with a resounding diplo
matic silence.America had two good consid
erations upon which to base that policy:
1. THE UNITED STATES stood convinced that nothing other than
direct intervention in the military
situation in China would change the course of events, and that the gov
ernment is not prepared to intervene to that extent.
2. There is, in the United States,
an inaccurate assumption that American economic aid is a fool
proof solution to the difficulties oi other countries: ‘that this aid, if
put into a given country as raw materials are put into a machine,
would suddenly be processed into an effective, finished product. Life
was not precisely like that—es
pecially in China.
To all of which might be added these two additional factors:
1. The United States was caught
in this dilemma: If it issues a
statement supporting the National
ists, as Mme. Chiang Kai-shek urged, it might merely associate
itself with the collapse of the pres
ent Chinese regime without preventing that collapse.
2. On the other hand, if it explains why it is not granting
further aid to Chiang, and pub lishes what has happened to previ
ous aid, it might hasten Chiang’s
collapse.
Hence, the attitude of watchful waiting.
MARSHALL:
Hoiv Long?
The question of who would be President Truman’s secretary of
state was concerning official Wash
ington and the diplomatic centers of the world.
Ailing Gen. George C. Marshall
was ordered to rest, observe strict dietary instructions. Evidence was
largely at hand that the President was reluctant to trust tlie touchy
problems of international policy in less experienced hands, yet the
chief problem persisted: Could
Marshall carry on effectively de
spite his serious ailment—loss of a kidney through operation?
THE P R E S ID E N T appeared committed to a policy of letting
Marshall stay on, or, rather, keeping Marshall on the job de
spite any desire of the latter to give up his post.
A close associate of the Presi
dent was quoted as saying the chief executive was willing to wait
until Marshall recovered sufficient
ly to do a full-time job, even if that should require months. Rob
ert A. Lovett, said not to “gee” as well with the President as Mar
shall did, would continue to act
for Marshall while the latter rested.
SOME OF THE President’s friends declared that if he should
finally decide that Marshall can’t carry the load, he probably would
like to have Chief Justice Fred Vinson take over.
To do so would mean a great
personal sacrifice for the Kentuck
ian, for his position on the court is permanent, while an administration change might leave him out
in the cold—and Vinson is no young man, either.
ALL MUST PROVE STATUS
Army Checking Newcomers for Red Taint
The army is looking closely to the political integrity of its induc
tees and applicants for commis
sions. Army spokesmen have released an announcement that ex
isting regulations now require aU inductees and applicants for com
missions to certify whether they
have been members of subversive oreanizations. If they had been
such members they are barred from service.
The affidavit requires enlistees or officer applicants to state whether they have membership in any organization advocating overthrow of the government.Draftees also are required to sign such affidavits when they appear for induction.
PROBERS;
Want More Law
Probers looking officially into
the activity of foreign espionage agents in the United States were
becoming irked. Too many witnesses had fallen back on the con
stitutional guarantee of immunity to questioning by claiming the pos
sibility of self-incrimination.
The probe group would put an end to that — they would provide
stiffer penalties for contempt of such groups.REPRESENTATIVE MUNDT, of
South Dakota, and Nixon, of Cali
fornia, Republicans, authors of the proposal, did not specify just how
much stiffer they would make the penalty for persons convicted of
contempt of congress. They did comment that “6fi:enders should
be severely and appropriately punished.”
Existing law provides a maximum penalty of one year’s impris
onment and a $1,000 fine.Among “reforms” suggested for
probe group procedure was protection of the right of all witnesses
to counsel in both closed and open
sessions; right of the accused to testify in open session; right of
the accused to submit questions.
The new congress was to be civ. en the proposals.
MEDICINE;
U. S. on Pan
Plans for socialized medicine re
ceived a rough setback when the
Hoover committee reported it had found “waste and extravagance”
in the present federal setup, which
it described as without “any central plan.”
FINDINGS of the committee—a
“task force” of the Hoover commission on organization of the ex
ecutive branch of the government —^were sure to be hailed with de
light by members of the American
Medical a s s o c ia tio n battling against enactment by congress of
a program of socialized medicine.The investigating group, how
ever, made it plain in its report
that compulsory health insurance
was outside the scope of its inquiry.But, even so, its declaration that
governmental medical agencies and its program were inadequate
and inefficient was certain to be construed as whistling over two
strikes on the compulsory health insurance adherents.
THE FACT-FINDING group recommended a sweeping reorganiza
tion of federal medical services, and urged channeling of federal
subsidies to the upbuilding of med
ical schools and community and
private hospitals, with a minimum of supervision by the government.
The report asserted the govern
ment is assuming uncalculated ob
ligations without any understanding of their ultimate cost, the lack
of professional manpower to carry them out, or their adverse effect
on the hospital system of the country.
BEST COWBOY:
No Film Star
The small fry could beUow and complain all they liked—the best
cowboy was not Gene Autry or
Roy Rogers.Instead he is Gerald Roberts,
Phoenix, Ariz., who was top cowboy—world’s champion, to get tech
nical—for 1948. The Rodeo Cow
boys association announced Roberts was the best aU-’round cow
boy of the year, and they had the records to prove it.
ROBERTS won top honors by leading the 2,100 professional cow
boys who were scored in the asso
ciation’s system for 575 rodeos in the U. S. and Canada.
The scoring system was based
on one of the most impressive ifac- tors in any American competition
—the dollar. One point was scored
for each dollar won in competition, and Roberts ended the 1948 season
with winnings of $21,866 in cash awards. There was no arguing with
that sort of record.

■1320, the national health insurance and public health bill.I This measure w^as opposed in the last session by an organization I formed by the American Medical association which turned out to be, in ; terms of doHars spent, the biggest lobby in Washington, and that is a : record.
Why does the medical association< oppose the bill? Supporters of the
_ _____________legislation say because the major
ity of the doctors,
like the majority of the people in the country don’t im-
derstand it.
Many doctors think it would foul
up their practice
of medicine with politics. Many also
say it would destroy normal pa-
tient-physician relations because
the patient would
have to take what medical treatment he could get on
an assembly-line basis. This latter
assumption is based on a misappre
hension of what is actually in the bill which I’ll mention later.
The former charge is a predic
tion and can’t be answered categor
ically. I can understand it. When I was in coUege, I got a summer job
an the Chautauqua daily. Chautau
qua is a pretty big summer community, and health is important. A young medical student friend of
mine whose father had a puU got the
job of inspecting cowbams of farmers supplying milk to Chautauqua.
I made the rounds with him once.
He examined the bovine living conditions thoroughly and some were
pretty vile. He made notes and put them in a report reconmiending that
purchases from a particular farmer be suspended until the barns were
cleaned up.
What happened? He got a sharp call-down from his superior. After that, inspection con
sisted in opening cow-ham
doors, holding the nose, and looking the other way.
That happened many years ago,
and I have heard that Chautauqua
county is noted for its model dairies.But there is always a lurking sus
picion that when a politician puts
his finger in the pie it turns sour.
The only specific answer to this charge of politics that I have dis
covered is one offered in a pamphlet
gotten out by the Federation of Women’s Clubs which says: “the plan allows for the representation
of the people paying for it.”
Perhaps a better answer lies in
the fact that the American Federa
tion of Labor and the CIO, both of whose leaders know just about as much about how politically-con
trolled institutions operate as any
organization heads in the country,
Eavor the biU. It has been supported by many individual doctors and by the Physicians Forum, and the Com
mittee of Physicians for the Irri-
provement of Medical Care.
But what is “it,” this national health insurance biH? Are you fa
miliar with its purpose, what it proposes to do and how it proposes to
do it?
Let’s go back. What was the most shocking revelation in the World War
II draft statistics? I’d be willing to
bet the thing that most painfully
surprised the whole country was that one-third of our youth of mili
tary age was unhealthy.
Out of fifteen million registrants, Uve million were re
jected for physical or mental
disabilities. Rural residents as a group were even less healthy.
Forty-one out of each 100 rural
registrants were turned down as 4-Fs. It had been just the op
posite in World War I when
farmers outdistanced city folk in good health.
From these figures, we suddenly
discovered that the American youth wasn’t such a hale and hearty indi
vidual as we had thought. Later, as you may not know, we learned that
325,000 Americans die every year
who could be saved with proper medical care.
About twenty per cent of our people can afford all the medical care
they need.Half our families—those with an
mcome of $3,000 a year or less—find it hard, if not impossible—to pay
for even routine medical care.
Thirty per cent of our fami
lies in the $3,000 to $5,000-a- year bracket would have to go
into debt or make other sacri
fices to meet the cost of severe or chronic illness.
So you can see why America is
twenty-three per cent unhealthy.From the beginning Americans
have believed that sound minds are
the responsibility of the state, hence the public school system. A sound
mind isn’t much good in an imsound body. So, say the supporters of the
national health insurance biU, it is lo^cal and thoroughly in keeping
with American principles to tax everybody so that everybody can get
medical care. They argue that free
dom from persecution by germs is
as mush the business of the whole
people as freedom from persecution, censorship, or any of the other
restrictions our ancestors came to America to avoid.I won’t go into the history of the
bill. It was written after years of
study, six years of public hearings before congressional, committees.
Those who have opposed the meas
ure have made their chief argument a contention that it would be anoth
er step toward a socialized state,
that it would indeed socialize the medical profession. On point one,
the supporters say truthfully “that argument was once raised against
the public schools, city water-works,
municipal sewage systems, electric light and power plants, which are
now accepted as a matter of
course.”Under the national health insur
ance biU, the federal government
would collect the money and manage it along with the social security
fund which it does now, disburse
it to the states for the services rendered by the doctors and approve
of the various state set-ups.
The actual arrangements for the services of the doctors who
would go right on with their private practices as well if they
wanted to, would be made be
tween doctor and patient. The patient, unless his family doc
tor refused to join up, would
have his services just the same, only they would be free. The doctor wouldn’t have to accept
any patient he didn’t want.
Part of the money would go t>.
the states for research, medical education and various preventive services. How much would it cost?
One and one-half per cent of your
earnings up to $3,600 v/hich your employer would match. If you are
self-employed, you would pay three
per cent up to $3,600 of your own
earnings. And that, say the bill’s proponents is no more than you pay
now (on the average) to a voluntary
group health agency if you belong to one and it’s less than you would
pay to a private physician.Physicians’ rates and mode of
payment will be established by the vote of the majority of the physi
cians in the given area or locality.
Since the worst shortage of doctors is in rural areas, it is
expected that with assurance of
adequate pay tlirough the national insurance fund, more physi
cians will he attracted to those areas. Also the fund will help
to expand local public health services, rural hospital and am
bulance 'Service.
Aside from the poorer health in farm communities, maternal mor
tality is higher and, as every farmer knows, accidents are high. There
are 54 deaths per 100,000 population
on farms, only 20 per 100,000 in industry.
In the controversy over this measure both sides point to the experi
ence of other countries. They claim the national insurance system was
inaugurated in Germany in 1883.
One Americal Medical association member says medical care declined
under it. He probably knows more about it than I, but the statement
was certainly a surprise.
Similar complaints have bedn
made against a similar plan which
has just been inaugurated in Britain. But a recent poU taken in Eng
land says 91 per cent of the physicians have joined up which would
seem to show they approved of the
way it works even if they opposed it in the beginning. And the people
voted it the most popular measure passed by the present government.
The British Medical association did not oppose the bill as a whole but
fought against certain portions, particularly those which they thought
might make them “servants of the state.”
These facts I have checked as nearly as I can and do not believe they will be disputed. As to the opin
ions, they remain as such. And you
can’t look into the future. From what I can learn, the supporters of the
biU believe that it wiU be one of the first introduced in the new con
gress, that it will reach the floor by February and that the chances
for its passage are good.♦ • »

Blast at Marshall
A LTHOTJGH the state departmenttried to throw a monkey
wrench in his typewriter, Maj. Gen. Claire Chennault of the famed Fly
ing Tigers has defiantly gone ahead
with his memoirs. Now he is ready to set the match to a literary explosion that will rattle the windows
inside Secretary of State Marshall’s office.
The China ace tells his own story
as he lived it—shooting from the hip. Summing up Marshall’s mis
sion to China in his unpublished memoirs, Chennault observes sourly:
“Net result ot the 15-month
Marshall mission to China was the rescue of Chinese Commu
nists from military disaster,
blunting the offensive edge ot the generalissimo’s a rm ie s ,
and setting the stage for the
Communist oitensives of 1947 that netted them most of Man
churia and a large part ot north China.”
Chennault charges that Marshall
gave safe conduct to half a million Communist troops to slip out
of a Nationalist trap through Kal- gan pass. Later these same troops
sealed up the pass in violation of their safe-conduct pact, then came
back with Japanese arms to wrest
Manchuria away from Chiang Kai- shek.
These arms were taken from Russian stockpiles, Chennault claims,
yet Marshall’s arms embargo cut o3 American supplies from the
Nationalist armies. Since aU their equipment was American, tliey
couldn’t use it without American replacements.
"llarshall has learned considerably more about Communist tac
tics since his China days,” blasts Chennault, “But he has never
csndidly acknowledged his mistakes in China or made any attempt to rectify them.”
Mci'shall’s Distrust
Chennault gives a clue to his bitter feelings against Marshall in dis
cussing their early relationship. Marshall believed the Flying Tigers
chief was disloyal to the late Gen.
“Vinegar Joe” Stilwell, then in command of the China theater.
Marshall also thought Chen
nault bad failed in east China, and even doubted his personal
honesty. Once Marshall stated
flatly that he would never aji- prove another promotion or dec
oration for Chennault.
Chennault points out in his im- published memoirs that the Rus
sians have watched their German
neighbors go down to defeat twice in two-front wars, and have carefully avoided the same pitfall.
'i\TiiIe Germany was menacing her
western flank, Russia kept out of open war with Japan even though
pitched battles were fought along the Manchurian border. Russia was
also wary of taking on an exhausted Japan in 1945 vmtil victory over
Germany was complete.
World Government
"As a practicing warrior for
many years,” concludes Chennault,
“I am convinced that war is completely futile. It settles only the
problems of the past and creates
new problems for the future. There is no place in the world today for
the narrow, competitive national
ism that sparks the tinder of war.
My experience as an airman has taught me the puniness of the elab
orate, artificially erected, man- made borders of political states.
“I am convinced that the peo
ple of this planet must moTe inevitably toward a single form
of world government if civilization is to survive. It is our task
now to see that this world gov
ernment comes as a mutual federation of free peoples rather
than through the rutldess dom- - ination of a master slavestatc.”
NOTE: In his memoirs, Chen
nault also blasted the tough hide of “Vinegar Joe” Stilwell, called him the “best four-star battalion com
mander in the army.” (A battalion
normally is commanded by a major.) Stilwell, according to Chen
nault, used 1917 tactics to fight war in the 1940s.
Cabinet Christmas
Secretary of State George Mar
shall spent Christmas at Walter Reed hospital, recuperating from
a kidney operation. Defense Sec
retary James Forrestal went to Hobe Sound, Florida. . . . Air Sec
retary Stuart Symington and Vice
President-elect Barkley ate their turkey with the airlift pilots in
Germany. . . . Army Secretary
Kenneth Royall was in Berlin with the ground forces. . . . Treasury
Boss John Snyder, Mrs. Snyder and daughter Drucie were in St. Louis.
. . . Commerce Chief Charles Sawyer, his wife and five children spent
the holiday at home in Cincinnati.
. . . The Tom Clarks put in their usual busy day carrying cheer to
underprivileged children. The attorney general paid his annual
Christmas call at the National
Training School for Boys, while Mrs. Clark carried gifts from jus
tice department personnel to the
Capital’s receiving home for children.
COLLEGE AND BIG BUSINESS
A congressional committee reports that American colleges are
partners in real estate projects,
chain restaurants, mail order houses, department stores, gas sta
tions and many other enterprises, (toe practically owns and operates
a spaghetti plant and piston ring factory. Another has money invested in a Limoges china and leather
industry. One of the biggest univer
sities has apartment house, office building and Radio City Center projects running into millions.*
Our colleges have to invest their
endowment funds some way and it is perfectly legitimate to do what
they have been doing, but the
charge is made that, since the income of educational institutions is
exempt from taxes, the colleges are hi unfair competition with business men and cost Uncle Sam millions
m taxes every year.*
About that we wouldn’t know
too much, but it is disconcert
ing to a man to find that the little lady he has been so tenderly calling Alma Mater is an in
dustrial tycoon, a member of a dozen boards of directors and
maybe a top distributor of potato chips, catsup, auto tires
and lubricating oils._*_
Can it be that Alma, instead ol being the dignified and handsome
gal carved in marble on the lovely campus, should be pictured with a
prematurely bald head, a coimting- room twitch and a strictly business
look? Instead of a sweet and aloof lady interested mostly in the arts
and sciences, is she a holding corporation, an inner tube manufac
turer and a promoter of chain lunch, rooms?*
Don’t teU us that Dean Dumplin and Professor Highfofrid have in
truth been responsible for the kid’s education but that the spaghetti,
mustard, orange drink and real estate businesses have been a big help, too.«
Down there on the girdiron is
it possible that the lads have been giving their all tor dear
old Schlotz, Brown, Halloek & Whiffle, Inc., the Cronkhite
Donghnut Machine corporation
and the Grand ITnion Radio Ornament Industry? Is it possi
ble that the old grads should sing it “For Siwanikosh, for
Country and for TVhooziss’ Re
frigerators” ?9
These are disillusioning times.
We like to think of the faculty worrying only over a student’s
progress in philosophy, literature, Greek and mathematics, and never in an all-day conference over
whether to put a few hundred grand into a department store, a row of
de luxe apartment houses or a new tooth-powder idea.
Of course it costs money to run universities. All those funds have
to be invested where the return
will be good. But we hope the paper isn’t delivered the night the news
comes out that Little Lester has had to be withdrawn from college be
cause his old man couldn’t keep
him in and at the same time pay the rent, food and clothing bills
sent in by the college’s business
affiliations.• « *
The Nationalized Pub
England is considering national
ization of the pubs (bars and taverns to you). Government operation of hangovers is something new. But it
is a further indication of how far
the idea of state control of everything, up to and including the dark brown taste and the morning after,
is going. ^
For generations, it would have
been thought far below the dignity
of any government to run a saloon and put itself in the position of re-
p^ing to unceasing orders of “make mine the same, Joe.” But today a
proposal that the state operate poolrooms, bowling alleys and men’s
smokers would hardly astonish any
body.
Just the same, we hate to think of any severely state be
coming a combination saloonkeeper, bartender and bouncer.
It isn’t going to be nice when
the tolics take to blaming bad Mickey Finns on bureaucracy or
demanding a change of administration on account of what
seems to be a government im
posed headathe.* *
V A m m N G AMERICANS
"LeCs all chip in SO cents and maka
the present something good.”
"The gentleman teams everybody in thi
place to have a drink on him."
“You can't do that, it's against the law." • • *
We are aU for the two-million-
doUar fund for musicians’ welfare,
but hope it won’t offer too much encouragement to the guy upstair* who is taking saxaphone lessons.

Side Delivery Rake
Completely Engineered
Foi Powei Operations
A new side-delivery rake, engi
neered from the groimd up for power take-o£E raking and tedding,
and completely designed for mechanized farming is now in produc
tion.Manufacturers declare that a “history of the side-delivery rake,
which is the machine you see piling
up long rows of hay, straw and other crops for baling, shows that
there has been little or no change
in the machine since the advent of the tractor. It is the first all-new
rake in 50 years.”Exclusive features of the rake
are the floating reel and basket
which permits use of the full length of the 64 pairs of raking teeth at aH times and a positive chain pitch
control which changes the angle of
the teeth for different raking conditions.Two speeds forward and one
speed for tedding, or reverse rak- ing,. permit the operation of the

rake at liigh tractor speeds. The
four-bar reel is V-belt powered from the chain-driven power take
off.The rake is this manufacturer’s
tliird contribution toward complete mechanization of haymaking. A
first one-man, twine-iying pi<^-up baler produced commercially, and
the new field bale loader already
have cut huge chunks from the farmer’s haymaking schedule.
Support for Bossy
Tiiis scantily-clad bovine beau
ty attracted wolf whistles at the
second annual National Farm show in CSiicago by appearing in a newly designed udder support.
The novel “unmentionable” is
said by tiie manufacturer to increase a cow’s milk yield by 35
per cent.
New Animal Repellent
Will Lessen Free Meals
Animal wildlife will find free
lunches fewer and farther between next year. A new product developed
by the B. F. Goodrich chemical company and tested by the state of
Maine fish and game department at its Swan Island wildlife refuge,
may be just what farmers have been seeking.
At Swan Island, the new material has been sprayed on leafy crops by
biologists who observe that it wiU
not wash oif and that a deer, after nipping at the treated leaves, will
turn up his nose at future free meals. Certain types of insects also
are discouraged by the action of
the repellent, researchers revealed.Crop damage by raiding wild
deer runs in excess of $150,000 annually in some districts of Maine
and amounts to millions nationally.
The search for satisfactory repellents has been a major project.
Beef Cattle Reported
Liking Citrus Molasses
Beef cattle really go for citrus molasses.
Cattle having access to this feed not only have shown no hesitation
about lapping it up from troughs, but have seemed to prefer it.
Cattlemen feeding the molasses are using a combination of trough
and drum molasses for making the
material available to their animals. The trough used is 30 inches wide
and about 12 feet long.

Strange Trees in Cbina
Eesemble Fossil Remains
Fossil cones and seeds of trees that
lived in the new world BO million
yeaiB ago are almost exactly like
those from a scattering of living
trees recently found In a limited
area of western China.
The specimens received from the
Orient have been matched with fossils in the Smithsonian institution
collections by Dr. R. W. Brown, geological survey paleontologist.
The trees are somewhat remotely related to the present-day sequoia of
California. About 50 million years ago vast forests of them grew in Mon
tana, and they were generally scat
tered over the Northwest until they
became extinrt there just preceding the beginning of the last Ice age.
The Chinese trees were discovered
about two years ago by a Chinese forester in a limited area of the
Szechuan and Hupeh provinces of
China, where about 1,000 of them now survive. They are large, flourish
ing trees, but their scarcity indicates
that they are now in their last refuge and are on' the verge of extinction.
Both cones and seeds were sent to
the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard university, whence the national muse
um received the specimens. Seeds are also being distributed to botanical
gardens and experiment stations throughout the United States in the
hope that some favorable environment will be found in which this "living
fossil” can be preserved.

Bergen, Norway’s Raintown,
Sees 900 Years of History
Norway’s old and beautiful port,
Bergen, is as rainy as many a tropi
cal spot. But few mind the weather
because they are always prepared
for it. Even the babies going for a carriage ride are provided with rain
coats and hats, and umbrellas are
standard equipment at all times, notes the National Geographic society.
So much water drips from Bergen’s
parked umbrellas that stands there are said to be larger than those elsewhere. In some of the restaurants
coat and umbrella racks have drain pipes through which the water flows
out to street gutters.Bergen, however. Is noted for many
things besides rain. This port was a going establishment more than 400 years before Columbus set sail to
wards America. It was old Norway’s capital, and is still the country’s
leading industrial and commercial center of the west coast.
During World War II when the
Germans returned to occupy Norway,
they made this city into an important U-boat nest. Bergen received some
£smage in the British bombing vS. the port, A center of Norwegian re
sistance, it \ras more badly battered
in 1944, by the exploding of a Nazi munitions ship in the harbor.
Tulips, Big Business In Holland
Growing and exporting tulip bulbs is big business in the Netherlands.
Some 8,000 tons, valued at seven million dollars, were shipped to tlie Unit
ed States in 1947. Although this surpasses the pre-war volume, it is less
than England takes. The first tulip
bulbs reached Holland by way of Vienna. An Austiian ambassador at the
court of the sultan brought seed home
to his country in 1554. Clusius, Dutch herbalist and court gardener to Aus
tria's Maximilian H from 1573 to 1587, introduced a fine collection and
popularized the tulip in Holland. So fashionable did the exotic garden bloom become in the land of dikes
and windmills that it caused an exciting financial boom, followed by near-panic. Bidding for bulbs of
scarce new varieties mounted, turning into wild speculation. Dutch gov
ernment finally clamprd on controls that stabilized the young industry.
Cars of 25 years ago almost certainly were kept in garage.';, v-cre driven possibly 10,000 miies a year,
and received the lovin'r care now reserved for the te:eviEi:,n set. They
rarely saw the salt air of the sea
shore or the calcium chloride used to melt snow on city stre .ts. The present cars have probably never been
under a roof except to have some repairs executed, are driven up to 100,-
000 miles per year, and hr.ve the dust,
dirt, tar and salt removed from them about twice a year.

Does Government
Management Work?
For a decade before World War
II, France was moving toward control and management of her major
industries. Private employers were
unduly criticised. The profit system was represented as being abused. There were those who ap
parently found it easy to foment
confusion and strife. Employees
were set against employers. Production went down, standards of
living went lower and lower. The security of France became doubt
ful, as dangers arose.Then came the attack from Hit
ler. France fell quickly. Her divided condition, her hatreds and fac
tionalism, made defense feeble and
weak. Then five years later, liberation came. France again estab
lished her own government. But industrial confusion was still every
where. Employers were so discredited by the propagandists that pro
duction couldn’t get going.From Chaos to Worse
The trouble was that the French people in general, fretted by the propagandists, couldn’t get down
to straight thinking. The public
wanted more and more for doing less and less. The call tor govern
ment to take over major industries became louder an-d louder.
Certain industries were therefore taken over in 1945 and 1946. One of these was the coal industry, in
which the government took over
ownership of the mines. It employed the management, and hired aH tiie
workers. The government was
placed in full and complete control. Three years passed.
No Happy Family
You have perhaps read the news in recent weeks. Government em
ployed miners went out on strike against their government employer.
These government employees so
seriously damaged government owned mines that government
soldiers had to be sent out to protect the property and the mines.
You might think that under Socialism, everybody would be just one
happy family.Not at ail. Fighting has been go
ing on between the government miners and the government soldiers.
Property has been so damaged that
some mines cannot be reopened for many months at best. Lives have
been lost in the lighting, and many persons wounded. All this at a time
when France is in a critical hour, when her people need coal and fuel.
This is all wrong, and it certainly proves that government manage
ment cannot insure industrial peace. Keep Industry Safe
There are other important ob
servations. Very important is'the fact that government ownership and
management of mines did not in
crease production per man day. On the other hand, 4 million tons
of coal have been lost, and the price has risen about 50 per cent.
This has led to the diversion of 19 million Marshall Plan dollars from
other purposes, to buy fuel for the French people.
Many who wanted govenunent
management are still not satisfied. Many of them are promoting a Com
munistic state, now. That would happen in America. There is no
indication that government management would work any better here.
It is only a siep toward Communism, which we do not want. Let us
work in every way to preserve private management, a system
which has helped America to achieve the highest wages and best
living conditions ever known.

What’s Under the Hood?
Machine loving, curious Americans, we are. If we buy a new car, most of us want to know first what
it’s got that makes it go. Many a lad, since grown up but still curious. |
remember’s papa’s razor-strop or :
mama’s rage because he tore up the : Big Ben alarm clock. He just want- ; ed to see what made it tick! The ;
genius of young America today, for
understanding things and machines and gadgets, shows a quality of
mind and spirit that is distinctly American. May we never lose it.
To want to know what’s under the hood is a mighty fine thing. But about America itself: the story of
our enormous growth, the founda
tions for our freedoms and prosperity—these things we have not looked
into. We know that America is the best land in which to live, but we
don’t always have the answers why. ’That’s not fair to America, nor fair to the future we all have a right to
expect. We ought to know the How’s and Why’s of the American Mir
acle.Seeing Is Believing
Ever since I came back in 1936 from a ten-year stay in China and a
look-see at dozens of other nations both ways around the world, I have
been plugging tor real understanding of America. When we steamed into New York harbor that time, nny
wee daughter thought Heaven would
be wonderful if it were half that nice. She^ didn’t mind saying so.
She was bom in China. But I foimd a nation full of confused people,
and I felt that many of my fellow Americans were faint-hearted.
I do not regret having since de
voted .so much time and energy to the job of reselling everybody I
meet on the idea of America. It’s not that Americans are against the American way of doing things.
We’ve been so free, and so busy, that we just haven’t paid much at
tention to the reasons for our well
being. Then, when some Johnny Commie happens along to tell us:
“Down with capital and hate your boss I”—we fail to have answers
ready for him. Such a misunderstanding of America can be serious.
Know Tonr Land
1 am happy to see that the Advertising Council, Inc., a non-profit
organization made up of men in the advertising profession, will drama
tize the story of America in magazines, newspapers, and on bill
boards. Many companies and publications will sponsor the advertise
ments prepared by the Council. The American Federation of Labor, the
Congress of Industrial Organizations, and other groups are helping.
If you see any of the ads in Novem
ber and later months, please read them.
A Greater America
You will also want to read “The Miracle of America,” a booklet
which will be offered free in the advertisements. Two fiUl years of
work were put into preparations for this educational campaign by the
most talented story tellers in the land: America’s advertisers. They
are' doing a fine job telling the story of our nation and the benefits of the
American system. Let us echo the
story and pass the word around!You bet, America's going ahead. If we all pull together. If we coimt
our blessings, and at the same time view our glorious future', it’ll not be
possible for a single American to fall tor anybody’s false ideas.
There’s no country with a past like America’s nor any with as great a
future. If we inform ourselves, and determine that our way is the best,
we can settle down and get going toward the goal of an even greater America! What's under tlie hood
will take us places!
Aid to Oil and Gasoline
Peak output of gasoline and fuel oil can be maintained by addmg antiseptics to the water used in re
fineries for cooling purposes, it ha? been reported to American Cheirii
cal society. The slime formed by water-borne bacteria in a single
month can reduce operating capacity 25 per cent by clogging pipes
Small amounts of chlorine, phenol oi other bactericidal chemicals in the
water keeps the equipment almost entirely free from choking slime foi as long as four months. Bacteria
themselves comprise only about 25
per cent of the deposit, the rest consisting of minerals and debris en trapped in the slime. Practical ex
perience indicates that formation ol
slime can be observed continuously without halting plant operation by
checking the cooling efficiency ol the water pipes, according to thr
report.
Alaska’s School System
Alaska is the only area govprr,ed by the United States that has two
public school systems—one by thp
federal government and the nther by the territory. The f(>rii?ral gov ernment provides schoo;s for the na
tives and the territorial governiTn-nt makes provisions for tlie white popu
lation. The natives and the are about evenly divided in num bers. There is no prohibition aaainsi
natives attending terriTorial .scho if. and vice versa. With few exceptinn,'--.
however, attendance is practired witiiin tlie purpo.se of the two ,sy.s
tems. Schools supported by the fed eral government confine their woi-’<
to grades, usually from the fir.st it the eighth. Territorial sfhi:ol.= m
elude both grade and Si.-i'ondar> classe.s Natives desiring ati erlui-a-
tion more advanced than the e’ghth grade may tranKiijr to a territorial high school.

Rev. W. B. laenhour. Hftfb Point. N. C. R4
Perhaps one of the best and
greatest New Year resalutlons that
many Christian people could well
make, and that would mean much
in their lives and the lives of
others, would be to pray more.
There is nothing more needful than
much earnest, honest, sincere pray
ing. It is easv to talk too much,
to visit too mucv, to snend too
much time mnning to and fro. give
too much time listening to the ra
dio, and to read too much, and to
spend too much time praying The
great danger is in praying too little.
God wants a praying people, a
church. There is nothing that
can accomolish so much as praver
changes things. God moves to
work wonders, to perform miracles,
in answer to paryer. Sinners are
brought under conviction and to
repentance through the prayers of
God’s children, and believers are
brought into the experience of
holiness, in a large measure, be.
cause Christians pray to that end.
We realize that sick people are
healed often-times in answer to
pravcr. nad bv pleading the heal,
ing blood of Jesus. We believe
much in praying for the sick.
Thers are many problems that
we meet in life that can’t be solved
in any wav except by prayer. God
know* the solution to every pro-
blem that every soul meets along
the journey, bnt He only solves
those problems as we sincerely pray,
and not to faint. (Luke 18:1). O
the need of spending more time in
prayer, and of praying more sin
cerely! It is easv to program onr.
selves to death spiritually, and we
are doing thing today, bnt it is
scarcely possiole to die soirittially
by too mnch praying. A great
New Year resolntion would he to
highly resolvo to prav more, then
stick to it as the year goes by.
We are toM in Proverbs. 15:8,
that “ the praver of the upright is
his delight,” nr the Lord’s delight.
This should greatly encourage us
to prav more as Hts followers
Whatever the delight the Lord Is
certainly worth while. Naturafly
what He is delighted with means
that He sets .sets His wonderfni ar-
provai upon. Praver from an bon
est. sincere, upright soul delights
the Lord of ho.sts Praise His name.

Tr y in g to rest after an exceedingly hard day, poor father was
being bedeviled by an endless stream of unanswerable questions from Uttle WiUie.
“What do you do down at the office?” the youngster asked.“Nothing," sliouted the father.
It looked as if the boy had been shut up for a while, but not for long. After a thoughtful pause.
Willie inquired: “Pop, how do you know when you’re through?”
MEDICAL TERM
Checking the emergency cases of
the day, the nurse gave a puzzled look after spotting the doctor’s note; “Shot in the lumbar region.” In the
interest of clarity, she quickly changed the doctor’s statement to read. "Shot in the woods.”

answered. “And what did they
sing?” was the inquiry. “I don’t
know what they were singing,” re
plied the lad, ■ “but I sang ‘One Meat Bair.”
Comforting Thought
“But why study philosophy? It

Books Are Heavy“How many studies are you carrying?”“I’m carrying one and dragging

Today, in the United States, 35
million people are without library
service. Of this number, 32 million
live in small villages or on farms.
Another 35 million people have in
adequate library facilities.
Out of 3,070 counties in the United States, only 808 have county-wide library service. More than 600 coun
ties, roughly one out of five, are without any kind of public library within their boundaries.
Some states provide library service
to rural areas by using bookmobiles, “libraries on wheels”, which take
books from a central library to outlying areas. Today, nearly 400 bookmobiles are being used in the United
States, In all but 10 states. Georgia, Ohio, and North and South Carolina
each operate more than 25 bookmobiles. Nine other states have at leaat 10 mobile lib?;arles.
First traveling library dates back
to 1905, when a horse-drawn “book- v/agon" was used by the Washington
county (Maryland) free library. Vehicles used as bookmobiles now include station wagons, small panel
trucks, school buses, army ambulances £ind trucks, trailer trucks, and
passenger cars.
Generally speaking, bookmobiles make their rounds once or twice a month. Some leave books at regular
distributing stations—^post offices, country stores, filling stations, homes
or churches—where it is convenient for patrons to select reading material. Other traveling libraries stop at de-
r^nated places on certain days,' they are greeted by eager
rcsr or.T of all ages. Some bookmobiles give c’-' --to-door service to homes
and sciioo!.'? along the route.

Empire of W c o ls and Water
Owned by Lone Individual
Fred Maloof, a cherubic man of
Arab descent, owns more lakes,
creeks, rivers, alligators, bears, deer, mink, muskrat, squirrels, geese,
ducks, quail, skunks, opossum—and mosquitoes—than any other man in
America.
While it is true that the game on
any property belongs to the state and not to the landowner, this great
profusion of life inhabits the 168,000-
acre tract personally in the possession of Maloof. It is said to be the
largest remnant of the American wilderness remaining in the hands of one individual. It occupies the greater part of Dare^ county, N. C.,
which is a va.st penin.sula bounded by
a fresh-water river and both fresh and salty sounds, and provides the sort of terrato and water adaptable to most of the fauna and flora of
eastern America.
The teeming wildlife in this area is such that a man who goes out can,
in the space of a day, get a bag of almost everything which attracts a sportsman—from a 50-pound bear to
a record striper. One deer party re
turning from a hunt got more deer by accidentally running them down
than they got by gunning.
It is tough territory, though. Forest fires start in the inner recesses of the place and sometimes bum for
weeks before they can be reached— if ever reached. Most reliable traffic
is by boats, which take one up the alligator-filled creeks, framed by
moss-draped trees.

Fleetfooted Kangaroo
A United States Army officer
stationed in Australia decided to go on a kangaroo hunt. He climbed into his jeep and instructed his
Negro driver to proceed to the plains
in quest of a kangaroo. Soon they spotted one, and the driver drove
the jeep in hot pursuit.
For some time they went at breakneck speed without gaining on the
animal.
Finally, the driver shouted to the officer: “Ain’t no use chasin, that
thing, sir!”“Why, Sam?”“Cause we is now doin’ 65 and
that critter ain’t put iiis front feet down yet!”
Objection OverruledFather: “Wasn’t that young Jones I saw downstairs last night?”
Daughter: “Yes, father.”
Father; "I thought I issued an injunction against ids seeing you
anymore.”Daughter: “Yes, Dad, but he ap
pealed to a iiigher court and Mother
said, ‘yes’.”
FQDNTAIN OF YOUTH
A northerner seeking an ideal
southern town stopped at a small hamlet and asked an old mountain
eer if the place was healthy. “Healthy?” the man roared. “Why,
this is the gol’ dam healthiest place
you ever did see. Shucks, nobody ever dies in these parts.”
“That’s strange,” the northerner
remarked. “On my way into town I passed a funeral procession.”
“Oh, that,” the mountaineer gnmt-
ed. “That was only the local undertaker. The fool starved to death.”

Interestlngr Job In Army
Among the many ctreer opportunities in the army and the air force is that of machinist. The soldier learns how to install, maintain and repair
machinery, machine toohs, and other related shop equipment in a military machine or repair shop. He learns the
use of a mechanic’s hand tools, micrometers, gauges, engine lathes,
power hacksaws, drill presses, and grinders. He also learns how to read
and interpret blue prints. The soldier
also receives the benefit of exceUent- ly staffed and equipped schools. Instructors are experts in their fields
and competent teachers. Cut-away models and “exploded” assemblies are used to aid in the fast absorption
of mechanical principles.
When Xerxes Crossed Hellespont
When Xerxes, the famous Persian general, crossed the Hellespont in 480
B. C., he used huge ropes 28 Inches in circumference to fasten 674 mer
chant ships together, moored in two rows side by side. A road was constructed over the ships by laying
planks which were covered with earth so that the animals wovdd cross una
fraid of the water. Clad in flamboyant raiment, with plumes tossing and
steeds prancing, Xerxes’ army marched across in seven days and
nights without pause.
Our County And
Social Security
By Mrs. Ruth G.ufiy. Manager,
The Social. Security Adminis
tration believes that on the basis
of experience during the past 12
years it is feasable to extend So
cial Security coverage to employ
ments now excluded, such as farm
work and domestic service in pri
vate homes, as well as to self em
ployed persons. The coverage of
workers In exempted employment
has been recommended.
A year-end summary of the Bu
reau of Old-Age and Survivors In
surance shows that about 2,3(X),000
persons throughout the nation
are now receiving monthly pay
ments under the Social Security
program at an average monthly
rate of almost 46 m illion dollars.
This is an all-time "high” for our
program. One year ago the pay
ments were being made to about
1.975.000 persons at an average
monthly rate in excess of 38 m il
lion dollars.
Under the Social Security Act
monthly insurance payments are
made to qualified workers in com
merce and industry and wives and
minor children of retired workers
as well as to survivors of deceased
insured workers. The year-end
statement shows that monthly re
tirement pavrtients totaled about
$366,000,000 in 1948. Payments
to survivors (children, widows
with young children in their care,
aged widows and aged parents)
amounted to approximately $177,-
000,000. An additional 32 million
dollars was paid in lump-sums to
survivors of insured workers who
were not immediately eligible for
monthly payments.
Old-Age and Survivors Insur
ance is primarily a family insur
ance program. For the nation as
a whole, as well as locally, 3 of
every 5 beneficiaries are women
and children.
; About 13,200,000 wage and sal
ary earners now have lifetime pro-
: tection for themselves and their
families under Old-.Age and Sur
vivors Insurance through comple
tion of a required number of years
in Social Security jobs. This is
an increase of 1,600,000 since the
end of 1947. These workers have
ot least some protection for life,
regardless of their future work
history.
About 78,700,000 living persons
had some wages credited toward
future Social Security benefits at
the end of 1948, an increase of 1,-
800.000 persons over the number
reported a year ago. During 1948
some 50,000,000 persons received
wages in covered employment.

OLD SHOE
By JOHN H. HOSE
Terry was just an old shoe, and when the new assistant pastor came to
town Marg found herself dreaming of this utterly different person in serious
ferms—that is, until Terry proved that old shoes were the most comfortable
after all.
Th e scfeen door slammed behind
Terry, disturbing tiie quiet of
Sunday afternoon up and down Fourth street. It wasn’t the gentle
slap with which screen doors are apt to close when released casual
ly, There was a revolver-like bang of one wooden frame forcibly meet
ing another.In quick succession followed the whirr of a starter and the clash of
rapidly meshing gears.“Well! He certainly left in a
hurry,” said Mamie as she removed her apron. “What in heav
en’s name did you do to him,
Marg?”“Oh, he's just an old sorehead!” replied Marg to her mother’s ques
tion, “We were talking about
something to do for tiiis afternoon, and when I said 1 wasn’t
interested in stalking' through the woods to observe the beauties of
Nature, he got huffly and went tearing out the door. That’s aU
there was to it! What’s more, I don’t care if he never returns,”
she added as an after thought.“But it’s so unusual for Terry to
act like that,” sighed Mamie, as she eased her rather ample self
into an imoccupied chair in the Langley living room. “Maybe the dinner didn’t agree with him?”
Mamie was always concerned with
the reaction of others to the perfection of her culinary art.
"He sure ate plenty, it that’s what you mean,” muttered John
Langley from behind his newspaper.
Marg sat on the arm of the
davenport, staring vacantly up the street in the wake of the depart
ing automobile. She and Terry Ulrich had been going together for
three years, had known each other since high school days. Everyone
expected them to be married some day, and until last month, Marg
had more or less planned on it
herself. But that was before the advent of Tom Prentiss,
shouldn’t have been so sarcastic with Terry,” thought Marg
to herself as the family continued to discuss the somewhat abrupt
departure of her intended, “but I wish he’d have an original idea just once. I’m so sick of his small town ways and hick notions.” Her
revery was interrupted by the syrupy voice of her sister-in-law, Blanche.“I think I know where the trou
ble lies,” drawled Blanche in her easy flowing, but somewhat aggravating tone. “She’s like all the
other girls at church ever since that new assistant pastor came.
All you ever hear them talk about
is Tom Prentiss. Don’t tell me you’ve fallen tor him too, Marg?’-’
“Blanche, dear, you can be so
tiresome at times,” retorted Marg.“Since you folks are all so con
cerned with Terry’s rude departure, I’ll leave the discussion with
you. I’m going to take a nap.”
This wasn’t tiie first time that
Blanche had casually read Marg’s thoughts and feelings. Marg threw
herself across the bed, after turn
ing down the coverlet and kicking her shoes off onto the floor. How did Blanche know about Tom Pren
tiss, though? Was it so very obvious?
The soft breeze of the Indian
summer Sunday stirred the ruflfled dimity curtains which hung at her window, and Marg thought about Tom Prentiss.
Rev. Brown had introduced Tom
to the choir members about five minutes before rehearsal time
eight or nine weeks earlier. He was the new assistant pastor, and
would have charge of all youth work, as well as the musical program of the church. During that first hour of rehearsal, the mem
bers of the choir had felt that Tom was a bit overbearing and arrogant. But the sureness with which
he guided them through the difficult passages of the anthem for the
following Sunday made them real
ize that this poised young man was really a topnotch musician.
After they had gone into the church sanctuary to practice with
the organ, they were more convinced than ever that the new as
sistant was a youthful genius.
Enthusiasm for Tom Prentiss
was contagious. The following Sunday the congregation buzzed after
services with talk of the new pastor. Several said the choir had
never sung so well, and the young ladies of the congregation were
aware of his good looks, too.
John Langley was an elder of the church, so a few Sundays after
Prentiss’ arrival, John invited him to the humble abode on Norft
Fourth Street to delve into the
wonders of Mamie Langley’s cookery. And Marg had a chance to observe Tom at close range.
Throughout the meal, he sparkled with brilliant bits of conver
sation, and fairly captured Mamie’s heart by storing away huge quantities of food. After dinner, he had
insisted upon coming into the kitchen to help with the dishes. He- expressed admiration for Mamie’s
art, and went with John into the
rose garden to express his admiration for John’s horticulture.
“What a marvelous personality he has,” she thought to herself
now, two weeks later. What other man ever came into this house for
Sunday dinner and wound up in the kitchen afterward drying
dishes? He was so common and
nice. Quite a contrast to Terry who, like her father, retreated to
the living room to sleep and read after gorging himself to the satu
ration point. And the wonderful walk they had taken after dinner out along the reservoir path! Tom
had told Marg all about himself.“Terry was nice, too,” she thought, “but well . . . Terry didn’t say clever things like Tom. And
he wasn’t gallant. Terry did the right things at the right time, to
be sure, but he lacked the dash and charm wliich the young cleric lent
to everything he did. Terry was
“Why, sure, I’d love to,” replied Marg happily. “Just wait
until I get my hat.”
more handsome, but Terry was
definitely old shoe. Comfortable, congenial, good quality, but not exciting.
She sat up abruptly on the bed,
pulling her knees up to her chin, and cocking her head to one side at her image in the mirror. She
said aloud to herself,
“Marg, you’re being simple about this man. He doesn’t even know you’re alive.”
From the distant confines of the house, the soft notes of the door
chime interrupted her rumination.
She listened to see if she could identify the voice of the visitor.
Hearing muffled mannish tones, she decided to investigate. Perhaps Terry had returned.
Patting her soft curls into place,
she dabbed a bit of powder on her
nose before going down to the living room. She was quite surprised
to see that the caller was the much thought-about Mr. Prentiss.
“Why, hello, Marg,” he greeted her as she entered the room, “I
was just out extending invitations to the choir members for a big
steak fry we’re planning for Friday
evening at the lake. You’ll be there, of course?”“You know you can count on me, Tom,” replied Marg, brightening noticeably in the presence of the
young minister. “And you’d better add an extra pound of steak, be
cause my appetite’s pretty keen in the open air,” she added gayly. '
“If you’re not doing anything important, Marg,” continued Tom, “I’d like to have you go along with
me to notify the other members.”
“Why, sure. I’d love to,” re
plied Marg happily. “Just wait un
til I get my hat.”A few minutes later, they left the house in a whirl of excitement.
Mamie watched them placidly, and then she remarked to Blanche, “You know, Blanchie, I wouldn’t
be at aU surprised if you were right about Marg and tiiat yoimg
preacher.”Marg and Tom chatted noisily as
they drove from place to place, but
if Tom was aware of Marg’s feelings for him, he didn’t reveal it.Marg found Terry quite recov
ered from his anger when she saw
him the following Friday at the steak fry. In fact, he greeted her
as though nothing had really hap
pened the previous Sunday.
“Hi, Marg,” he shouted to her when she arrived with a group of
friends. “Come on over and help me build this fire!”Marg returned his greeting and
saimtered to where Terry and several other young men were building the big fire.“Where is everyone?” she asked.
“Most of them are meeting at the church,” said Terry. “We came
out ahead to get the fire ready. Who brought you?”
“Jane Perldns brought four of
the girls out from work,” replied Marg. “We didn’t even bother to
go home; just met Janey at the square.”
“Oh,” said Terry. “Well, make yourself useful. You can cut those buns in that big box over there
on the table.”
“O. K.,” replied Marg good- naturedly. While she was cutting
the buns, Terry came over to patch things up.
“I’m sorry about last Sunday, Marg,” he said. “I guess I was a
bit rude.”“Oh, forget it, Terry,” she said,
“I wasn’t very nice either.” Their
conversation was interrupted by the arrival of the others. The
noisy group came tumbling out of
the cars. Marg didn’t notice the lovely, blonde girl with Tom Pren
tiss in the bustle of the arrival. But a few minutes later, she was
brought face to face with the stranger when Tom introduced
them.
“Here’s Marg Langley, honey” he said to the young woman at his side. “She’s the best alto in the
choir. Marg, I want you to meet
Louise, my fiancee.”Marg tried to cover her surprised confusion, and she wondered
if Louise Collins hadn’t seen how surprised she had been when Tom introduced her as his fiancee.
After the group had satiated its appetite on the steaks and other
refreshment, they gathered along
the shore of the lake to sing the old songs, Marg felt Terry slide into the grass beside her, and wondered if he knew. When they were singing “Love’s Old Sweet Song,” he gently slid his hand into her own, and a little thrUl tingled through her as he whispered:
“Marg, do you know you’re really
lovely with the moonlight in yotir hair? How would you like those
two bright stars up there for earrings?”
“Why, Teiry,” Marg answered
quietly, “what a beautiful speech. What’s got into you?” ■
“Gee, Marg . . .” he stammered, “Ever since I can remember I’ve
dreamed about you and me . . . how lovely you are, but I’m not very good at making speeches . . .
or making love, for that matter . . . but here tonight by the lake,
the moonlight, the fire and everything . . . I guess any guy’d want
to say something nice to the most
wonderful girl in the world, wouldn’t he?”
Marg returned the pressure of his hand as she brushed aside the
guilty thought that she had doubted her love for Terry. Terry wasn’t
such a bad stick after all, and maybe she’d ask the Rev. Tom
Prentiss to officiate at their wedding in the spring. That would be a nice touch at that!
The voices floated out over the
waters of the lake, and Marg turned to look into Terry’s earnest eyes.
“Terry,” she whispered, “you’re
so nice—so comfortable!”hto ^ Mountam Mart ,

-YTEEKLT NEWS ANALYSIS-
Truman Proposes Keeping Pledges
In State of Nation Congress Talk;
Mercy Killing Has Public Support
(EDITOR'S NOTE! When opinions are expressed In tbesecolnm^, ttey are those of Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not neccs sarily ol this newspaper.)
CONGRESSIONAL LEADEES PARLEY—These are the men who will
chart and develop legislation to implement the Democratic party’s platform pledges. Shown in a pre-congress opening conference are, left to right. President Triunan; Rep. John W. McCormack (D. Mass.) house majority leader; Sen. Scott W. Lucas (D., 111.), senate majority
leader and Speaker Sam Raybom (D., Texas.)
CONGRESS:
B ig Order
In calm unhurried manner. President Truman outlined to the 81st
congress his legislative proposals.
To the surprise of no one he asked legislators to enact virtually every
recommendation he made during
his election campaign. He called for more taxes, authority to restore economic controls, a broad
program of social legislation.Along with corporations, indivi
duals in the middle and higher-in-
come brackets would share in the task of providing the four billion
dollars more annual revenue which Mr. Truman says the government
must have.These are the major recommendations made by the President in his “state of the union” message:
INFLATION—Widen government control over bank and consumer
credit, exports and transportation
allocations; extend and strengthen
rent control. Grant authority to
regulate commodity speculation, allocate scarce key materials, control certain wages and prices, if necessary.
TAXES—Raise four billion dollars additional revenue for the government, mainly by taxing corpor
ations, but also by boosting estate and gift taxes; consider increasing income taxes for the middle and
upper pay brackets.
LABOR—Repeal the Taft-Hartley law and re-enact old Wagner act—
but with bans against jurisdictional strikes and secondary boycotts and some provision for avoiding strikes in general industry. Boost mini
mum wage from 40 to 75 cents an hour.BUSINESS—Strengtlien anti-trust
laws by closing loopholes that per
mit monopolistic mergers and consolidations.FARM—Use price supports to
keep farmers at a fair income level.
OTHERS—Extend social security;
set up systems of pre-paid medical insurance. Aid state education
al systems. Pass same civil rights
proposals made to 80th congress.
Push power flood control and navigation projects on the rivers. Main
tain armed forces “sufficient to
deter aggression.” Pass universal training legislation.
MERCY KILLING:
Eas Advocates
Euthanasia, a euphemism for “mercy killing,” gained important support in New York state where
hundreds of Protestant and Jewish
religious leaders petitioned for legislation legalizing the practice.
THE QUESTION has agitated
humanitarians and sociologists for centuries and there are many cases on record where mercy killings
have been committed. Despite legal barriers and penalties, the record
in such cases, for the most
part, shows that juries are inclined to look with some leniency on the
person who kills another to put him or her “out of his misery.”
On an appeal to the emotions
alone, much convincing argument
for euthanasia may be presented. But, considered from aU other ang
les with individual rights, possibility of criminal intent and other such factors involved, the practice could become highly dangerous.
The New York group advocating
the measure included 379 Protestant
and Jewish ministers of the Empire state, the largest group ever pub
licly to advocate euthanasia. The practice is now punishable as murder in all the 48 states. The petition
was sent to every member of the New York legislature.
NEED SHERLOCK HOLMES
New Star
Dorothy Malone, in typical Hollyivooil garb—that is for picture releases such as this—was
the first film player to be ac
corded stardom in 1949. Warner Brothers, her bosses, elevated
her to filmland’s top pinnacle
for her performance in the film
“One Sunday Afternoon.”
THE MINISTERS’ petition, sponsored by the Euthanasia Society of America, declared that the “ending
of physical existence of an indi
vidual at his request, when afflicted with an incurable disease which
causes extreme suffering is under proper safeguards not only medical
ly indicated but also in accord with
the most civilized and humane ethics and the highest concepts and
practices of religion.”
The safeguards: The ^fe re r
must submit a petition, duly attested by himself and his physician, asking for euthanasia. This must be
presented to a court of records
which will appoint an investigative committee of physicians. If this committee agrees, the court may
permit euthanasia.
CASTE SYSTEM:
Officers Adamant
The superiority which many army
officers feel and affect over the G. I. came graphically to light in Berlin.
There, in the biggest American club in the city, U. S. enlisted men were
barred—but German frauleins were admitted.
G. I.’s and civilians got hot as the
proverbial two-dollar pistol.. Enlisted men won a temporary victory when the board of governors of the
club suspended the month-old ban pending a special meeting to thresh out the matter.
One lieutenant-colonel epitomized
the officer viewpoint. Ninety per
cent of enlisted men were all right, he conceded, but it was the other 10
per cent which caused the ban.
“THERE ARE 10 per cent of the
enlisted men,” he said, “who do not know how to behave.” Then he add
ed the clincher: “We don’t want
these enlisted barbarians with officers and ladies.” Evidently possessed of the power of his convictions, he asserted he would resign from
the club if enlisted guests were permitted.
Significant was the reaction of the German civiliahs. In effect, they
asked if such tactics had any place in the teaching of democracy. As
one employe put it: “The ban sun-
ply means that everbody in Berlin .can come into the club except an
American enlisted man. That is not our idea of being American.”
HARMONY:
Some Question
Congress was off to a rough start.
The hope of general “harmony”, expressed by President Truman and some congressional leaders, grew
dim at the start.Republican Senator Vandenberg
charged Democratic colleagues with
violating the spirit of bipartisanship in foreign affairs.
Committee assignments provided the spark which set oft the blast of
discord. When the Democrats de
cided to take eight of the 13 seats on the foreign relations committee,
the Republicans cried “foul” and
uttered their protests.Senator Vandenberg, who wiE be
replaced as committee chairman by
Senator Connally (D,,- Tex.) called it a "political decision.” Senator
Morse (D., Ore.) was less restrain
ed. He charged that the “implications are that the Democratic party
proposes to play politics with war
and peace,”
Democrats denied any partisanship, claimed they were entitled to
more seats because they have a big
ger majority than the Reoublicans had.
Vice-President Barkley regretted the “controversy.” He told reporters that the bigger Democratic ma
jority win in no way affect the bipartisan course of the comnyttee.
CfflNA REDS:
No Comment
“The winners tell the funny jokes—the losers holler ‘deal’.”
But the apparent winners in Chi
na’s civil war weren’t saying a word, and the nationalist government’s peace offensive appeared
stalled against a wall of Communist silence.
From the government side came
a rising tide of clamor for a truce
and a negotiated settlement. The Communists, who have been win
ning, continued to say nothing.Nanking reported growing anx
iety among Chinese who had pre
dicted quick Communist response
to Chiang Kai-shek’s New Year offer to mediate. It was predicted
that the Red answer, if and when it came, would be a .demand for the government armies to lay down
their arms.
In Peiping, a group of delegates
to the national assembly sent the
Communist leader a message urging an immediate cease fire order because, they said, “the people cannot endure further suffering.”
Meanwhile, American position, as
indicated by two statements, seemed uncertain, or divided. Vice-
Admiral Oscar C. Badger, coiri-
mander of U. S. naval forces in
the western pacific, denied rumors of a withdrawal of “American
forces from China.” He declared
the rumor was based on reports the marines had terminated their lease
on Shantung university campus
where they maintain their barracks.

The Spread of Communism

Nemi Analyst and Commentator.
WASHINGTON.—When this country was struggling into early matt hood, it was clear to our statesmen that if the tree of western democracy v/ere to flourish and bring'forth fruit in its season, it would have to be
shielded from foreign interference.
The Monroe doctrine was enunciated. It was defensive, negative
rather than positive; it simply said to the world: hold what you have, but take no more. It was a large order for a young nation. It covered a | lot of territory. It worked.
BAIJKHAGE
Thief Makes off With Pound Notes
British authorities would be very
happy had the renewned Sherlock
Holmes been real and available, since the country was facing two
aggravating and puzzling problems.Someone had stolen several
sheets of one-pound sterling notes, amounting to approximately $560,
from the extraordinarily guarded
bank of England printing works.As an added poser, someone had
been going around s m a s h i n g
stained-glass windows in the Wol
verhampton area of the Midlands.

Puzzling over the amazing
power of a chicken wishbone—
that’s going to make someone’s fondest wish come t r u e—are
movie stars Dan Dailey and
Celeste Holm. The trio call attention to the nationwide “Wish
bone Contest” being sponsored
by the Poultry and Egg National Board.
WISHBONE;
Eend It In
Perhaps you’ve never thought
about it, but there must be a particular reason you like chicken every
Sunday. Now, if you’ll only think
about that reason, tell It to a judge, and it happens to be declared the
best submitted, you will find your fondest wish coming true.
THERE IS a big “Wishbone Con
test” going on in these United States and the national prize is the grant--
ing of the winning contestant’s own
“most-desired” wish. The contest is sponsored by the Poultry and Egg
National Board of Chicago, and th«
only requirement is that a chicken wishbone—a real one—must accom
pany each entry. Anyone in th#
United States is eligible for the contest.
Contestants must write, in fewer than 100 words, their reasons “Why
I like chicken every Sunday.” They
can send entries in the form of an essay, limerick or slogan—but each
entry must be accompanied by a
real chicken wishbone and the contestant’s “most desired” wish.
THREE REGIONAL winners
will receive a trip to Hollywood to
witness the toal judging at a gala chicken-dinner celebration. During
the Hollywood stay, the regional
winners will be honored at the “wish-bone premiere” of the movi«
ol “Cliicken Every Sunday.”
The world grew older and smaller.
A new, powerful anti-democratic
force arose. Amer
ican leaders decided that it the
tree we had planted, n o w in
fuU fruit, were to
continue to live
and flourish, the ramparts we
watched would have to embrace
and protect our
friends whose lib
erties were threatened even more
immediately than
our own.T he Marshall
plan was enunciated in June of 1947. After thorough debate in con
gress, it finally was given sinews
on June 28 of this year.What is the score today?
Mere announcement of the
Idea is credited with checking Red revolution In Italy, with
blocking the tide of Communist aggression In western Europe.
Now, after only seven months of
functioning, I believe that objective observers will admit with Ecopom-
ic Cooperation Administrator Paul
Hoffman, a hard-headed businessman, that “it has not only stopped
the march of communism, but has
turned the tide in the opposite di
rection.” Only recently, Yugoslavia
drew up agreements for trade with western Europe, thus smashing one
hole in the iron curtain.The ECA is just what it was label
led — “enlightened self-interest.”
To a chaotic and jittery Europe, it helped to bring: a 25 per cent in
crease in agricultural production
over the previous year; industrial
production above the pre-war level of 1938; relaxation of inflationary
pressures in all the ERP countries
except France and Greece.
Now what?
To convince our people that
the game is worth the candle, that whatever the cost, this Is
the first bloodless war ever
fought, that it Is cheap insurance against a shooting war.
To convince congress that the charges, among others, that ECA
is not being efficiently operated,
that big business is being favored and little business slighted! are un
just, or if the charges are true,
correct them.
To Speak Or
Not To Speak
Before congress convened, Wash
ington was enjoying its usual in
flux of national conventions, among them two groups concerned with the
oral cavity—the dentists and the
speech-teachers of the nation. Al
though I was invited to attend ses
sions of both groups, I exercised my jaws at only one—the speech
instructors’ meeting.The job of the speech instructor
is, of course, to get the learners to
use words to express ideas—a difficult task. Not that the raw mate
rial is lacking. The dictionary is EuU of words, and the air is thick
with ideas. More difficult is get
ting the words out of the dictionary and the ideas out of the air into the
learners’ heads.
The next step is to get the
learner to understand the meaning of the words he uses ,and
then to translate them Into ideas
which somebody else can nnder- stand—aye!—there’s the ’rub!
Consequently the speech instruc
tors have not only a difficult, but a hazardous profession. Leaving a
man alone with a lot of words is
like leaving him in a laboratory with a lot of breakable atoms.
We know from recent reports that
some of the scientists working with atomic energy go blind.
It’s a wonder to me that more spech Instructors don’t go deaf.
I suppose speech teachers also
teach that most useful corollary art—the use of words to conceal
one’s meaning. It is one I practice arduously.
After a decade and a halt of
broadcasting, most of my listeners haven’t the slightest idea of what
my politics are.
it infuriates me.
One point which was stressed at the speech conference was that the
competition for power which ends
in strife—domestic, industrial, in- temational—is due chiefly to improper communication. I agree with
that assumption.
There is no excuse for this in this
day and age. It was different when a Cro-Magnon appeared at the door
of a Neanderthaler cave in the year
23,000 B. C.—the mastodon on which
he was riding having broken a tusk
or an axle or something—and aH the poor man wanted was to borrow
an extra tusk. But since the Cr(>
Magnon was unable to communicate his perfectly peaceful desire,
and before he could present his driver’s license or his membership
card in the loyal order of moose, for identity, the Neanderthaler, after
shoving his wife in the comer and
calling his dogs, would step out and
welcome the unfortunate visitor with a hearty wallop on the cran
ium.
The result was probably a war between th e Neanderthalers
and the Cro-Magnons. In which
the Neanderthaler had a fifty- fifty chance of eating Cro.
Even if the innocent visitor had been able to grunt without mis
pronouncing his consonants and
lacerating his labials, and even if his inhospitable host had listened
to him, that host probably could not have digested his idea—as easily,
at least as he later digested him.
We have words to work with, and thus are able to fashion the tools of
commimication. But unless th e
speech teachers (and all teachers)
furnish the skills for the use of those words, the effort is in vain.
Unless the Idea behind what
we believe In can be commute
cated, <and it can’t be, unless we agree on the meaning of the
words) it withers on the vine.
Thus, the speech teacher must
teach his pupils not only the medi
um of communication, but the
means of using it—and convince them it has concrete value.
In the field of labor relations at
home, or international understand
ing abroad, we never can hope to
achieve a real bulwark for democracy vinless a mental contact can
be made, communications estab
lished—words and ideas joined so that they have a universal meaning and the message they convey can
be digested.
As Eric Peterson, general secre-
tary-treasurer of the International
Association of Machinists, put it: “The need for better lines of com
munication between labor and man
agement, and between the conciliator and disputing parties is a
distinct challenge. For basically,
the failure of these two groups to iron out their disputes without ill-
will or violence is part and parcel of the broader problem of discord
which plagues the world today in
its quest for peace.”
Peterson went on to say that
a starting point for speech teachers might be to pay less atten
tion to Demosthenes who be
came a great orator by practicing shouting until he could be
heard above the roaring of the
waves, and a little more to developing men whose voices may
not be loud, but whose skilfoll
persuasion can be heard above the misunderstanding in men’s
hearts.
Speaking for management at the
conference, Robert Chester Smith, director of industrial and personnel
relations for the Pullman Standard Car Manufacturing company of
Chicago, expressed his belief that
each of the three members of the
industrial triumvirate — the investor, the manager and the laboring
man—“has been and continues to be too short-sighted. Each has been
looking at the problem through its
own specially-conditioned glasses,
and has been unable to see either upward, downward or-sidewise, and unfortunately not very far ahead.”
John Q. Jennings, head of industrial Relations for the Singer Manu
facturing company, told an inter
esting story about how New York’s
great tugboat dispute last winter had been settled. The negotiations
had dragged on for hours until well
after midnight. Management and union men had basically agreed on
the point at issue, but whenever they tried to phrase the agreement
on paper, they got entangled in a maze of complicated terminology.
Shortly after 1 a.m., one of the
negotiators happened to say in sim
ple language what everyone else was trying to say in technical lan
guage. Somebody had a brilliant
idea;
“Why not put it just that way in the contract?” They did—a
two-sentence paragraph In ordinary rank and file English was
inserted—a departure Jennings described as something brand- new in union contracts.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE. N. C.
Endonesian War
tNSIDE fact about the Indonesian
war is that the United States re
ceived ample advance notice it was coming.
Merle Cochran, American mem
ber of the United Nations good of- f i c e s committee in Indonesia,
warned the state department by-
cable one month before the attack. He reported that the Dutch were
piling up supplies—most of them made in America — preparing to
wipe up the Indonesian republic,
even wliile U. N. mediators were trj’ing to settle the dispute.
Cochran queried the Dutch re-
srarding their activity, bat got
waved aside with the bland re
ply that the 'Dutch army was
preparing for “routine maneuvers.”
But possibly because of his in
quiries, Dutch representatives in Washigton were more frank. Tliey
informed both the state department
and the U. S. joint chiefs of staff that Communists had permeated the
Indonesian republic and were planning a revolt in February.
If this revolt was successful the Commimists would use Java and
Sumatra as a base to take over
British Malaya, Borneo and the
Philippines. Therefore, concluded the Dutch, they planned to take
“police measures”, in advance.
It so happens that the regis
tered Communist vote in Hol
land itself at the last election
was 10 per cent, and U. S. ob
servers say that the Communist
percentage in Idonesia is less.
How^ever, U. S. reaction was mixed. The state department, which
hitherto has coddled the Dutch, began to get alarmed. Certain U. S.
military men, on the other hand,
in effect winked. “Police action,” they indicated to the Dutch, was an
in'emal problem of no concern.to
the United States.* • *
Truman’s Military Pals
Conflict between, the U. S. military and the state department is, of
course, nothing new. And the above
illustrates what has happened to U. S. foreign policy time and again
ever since President Truman took office. In Germany, in China, in
Argentina and in Spain, the Presi
dent has let the military influence
sometimes dominate his foreign policy.
Immediately after the Dutch attacked, the state department, be
latedly wide awake, drafted a strong note to the Netherlands. It
was just as strong as the Australian
statement at the United Nations.
When the note was sent to the
White House, however, the Pres
ident toned it down. Again the
military were suspected.
But even in its revised form, the American protest put the Dutch al
most in the same category as the
Hitlers and Mussolinis in their UTecking of the League of Nations.
It also brought how'j of private an
guish from the Dutch.« • «
The Dutch Wail
Last week, Dutch representatives called on U. S. officials again. They
v. ere up in arms over curtailment of Marshall plan aid to Indonesia-
even though this slap on the wrist
sounds much louder than it hurts.
Actually the state department has
curtailed only $14,000,000 of unspent
EGA aid to Indonesia. The remain
ing $47,000,000 has already been
committed and vrill not be cut off— though most of it could be. Further
more, our huge $550,000,000 ECA allotment to Holland still stands—
even though $350,000,000 of this amount is passed on to Indonesia.
Nevertheless, the Dutch were
irate. Without attempting to quote them direct, the gist of what they
said was this:
We don’t understand your po
licy. ¥on spend five and a half
billions to fight communism in
Europe, yet in the Far East you
support Communism. We
wouldn’t be in the western Eu
ropean pact U you hadn’t asked us to get in. We could have been
neutral in the last war, and we
could be neutral in the next. We don’t want to have our coun
try overrun by the Russians as
it was by Hitler.
We realize that this western European pact is largely for the
defense of the United States and
that we are essential to it. So
if the United States is goin? to cat off Marshall plan aid be
cause of Indonesia, we might begin warming up to the Rus
sians. We don’t want to, but we
may have to.
So far it doesn’t look as if the
President is going to be scared by
Dutch threats. Mr. Truman may
make mistakes, but the last thing he does is scare easy. He’s much
more likely to get his backbone up.
Good Feed, Care Mean
Long-Wearing Alfalfa
Well-Nouiished Plwts
Resist Winter Killing
A deep, long-wearing carpet oi alfalfa on rolling fields is a mattel
of liming, keeping the soil’s dinner pail well filled with phosphate and
potash and following pasture management methods that prevent pre
mature “baldness.”
Alfalfa will have a long life if it is well fed and cared for. 'When
the plants are well nourished they
are hardier and better able to re
sist diseases and winter killing. They virill anchor their roots firmer
and establish healthier, thicker growth above groimd.
Like other deep-rooted legumes,
alfalfa takes large helpings of phosphate and potash out of the soil.
Agronomists reconmiend that heavy amoimts of fertilizer carrying these
nutrients be applied at the time of seeding.
The life of alfalfa can be prolonged and yields increased by top-
dressing with phosphate or potash in the spring or fall. Tests at state
agricultural experiment stations have shown that applications of 300
to 600 pounds or more per acre have been beneficial.
Good pasture management means going easy on grazing until stands
are well established. It is wise to follow a rotation plan so cows wiU
move from one field to another, be
fore the pasture is grazed down to the ground. By this system the pas
ture will have a chance to renew itself while cows are on other fields.
When it comes to moisture some
farmers have a two-fold problem. For occasionally it is necessary to
remove excess moisture from a wet part of a farm while irrigating
adjoining dry area at the same
time. Such actually is the case on a Virginia farm.
The story behind this southern
farmer’s problem is simple: His irrigated land was producing satis
factorily—but the low, wet acreage
adjacent to it was wholly unproductive. The solution to making both areas equally productive also
proved simple. Here’s what was done:
No change was made in the irrigation serving the liigh, dry land.
The low land, however, received an “irrigation in reverse” treatment.
First of all a ditch was dug across the area so that the excess moisture would drain into it. Thra a
vertical type centrifugal pump, as
shown In the accompanying illus
tration, was located at the roadside ^ d of the ditch. With this arrangement, the farmer got practically
automatic results.
Drainage from the low land is
pimiped out as rapidly as it accumulates in the ditch. But the
moisture isn’t wasted. It flows into a credc which supplies water need
ed for the more orthodox irrigation system serving the farmer’s
drier acres. Now, he reports, the formerly neglected wet land is pro
ducing on a par with the irrigated acres.
Lower Support Prices,
Goals Set for Potatoes
Lower support prices and lower goals for 1949 early potatoes have
been announced by the U. S. department of agriculture.
Agriculture Secretary Charles P.
Brannan said the low parity price
had been set with extreme reluctance, and should not be regarded
as a precedent for other commodities. The goal for 1949,. as usual,
will be broken down to counties and individual farms
Pies Are Perfect for Dessert!

Favorite Pies
PIES ARE ONE of the favorite choices for dessert all over the
coimtry. This is really remarkable because aU pies, whether served
at home or elsewhere, are not always good, 'niey’re soggy and pale

your first, twenty-first or your hundred and first pie,
there’s no reason
for it to be anything but the best. Measure ingredi

carefully, and bake properly, and you wiU have a pie that meets the

Dr. Foreman
■V" OU will never feel the current if you never swim upstream. If you are a drifter through life you
can hardly know what the word “temptation” means. And Jesus
was no drifter. If ever a powerful
purpose, devotion to God, a noble
mind and a pure
heart could set a man free from all temptations, Jesus
would have been
that man. But he had liis tempta
tions all the same. After the great
day of his baptism, when the heavens opened and he felt the
Holy Spirit as plainly as a bird from the sky alighting on his shoulder, we are told that he was “full
of the Holy Spirit.” Surely no temptation could reach him now! Yet
the spirit led him to the wilderness
were Satan waited for him.* * *
The Devil Is Smart
CATAN is a persistent devil. He never takes no for an answer,
he will be back again with the same temptation in another pack
age. It was so with Jesus. We must not think that Jesus was tempted
to low and ugly sins. People are tempted on the level where they 'ive.
After the Baptism, if not be
fore, he was fully awake to the fact that he was God’s beloved
Son, that it was his responsibility to begm the “Kingdom
of God;” he knew he had a position and a power that no one else on earth had ever had.
The problem was: How should
he use this position and this
power?
Each of the three temptations in
the wilderness had something to do with that problem. Two of the
temptations, at least, were not to do anything wrong in itself. Each
time Jesus was tempted to choose something less than the best. And
choosing less than the best, when the best can be had, is sin.* * *
All Temptation Sounds Good
“ 'T'URN stones into bread,” the tempter said. And why not?
People were hungry all around; Jesus grew up in a land where
most people were lucky to get one square meal a day, let alone three.
Jesus would be the- Divine leader of the Kingdom, the Founder of
the New Age. Why not make it the Age of Plenty? Why not abolish
hunger from the earth? It could be done; it sounds good.
So does that other tempta- tion — “Throw yourself down,
the angels will see that you are not hurt.” Perhaps many wor
shippers at the Temple-expected that the Messiah, God’s
King to be, would fly down out of a cloud.
Then that temptation which seems at first reading so ridicu
lous—^fall down and worship Satan.
It was not so ridiculous as it appears. What did Jesus want but to be King of. Kings and Lord of
Lords? What difference does it
make how we attain our ambitions, if we only reach them? All other
world - conquerors had achieved
their pinnacles of power by “worshipping Satan,” that is by using violence and trickery.
But Jesus, being full of the
Holy Spirit, knew that not everything that sounds good, is
good.
He saw clearly that not even he could bring in the Kingdom of God simply by feeding people, or as
tonishing them with aerial stunts, and still less by using those ancient
methods of the world-conquerors,
the tools of Satan, violence and lies. • • *
Defense Weapon
TESUS met his great enemy and
beat him down with a single weapon. Every time, Jesus comes
out with a quotation from the Bible,
incidentally always from Deuteronomy, evidently a favorite book with him. We have the same wea
pon at our disposal today, and more besides.
There is nothing magical in a Scripture quotation. The point is not that Jesus had memor
ized these verses so that he
could quote them; anybody could do that even without be
lieving a word of them.
What Jesus did was to make those truths his own, they were part
of his mind, actually his own convictions. Do you really want to rise proof apinst temptations? Do as
Jesus did: make God’s ideas your
own. The sharpest lie will blunt itself against the keen edge of
Truth.(Copyright by ibe In te tn ad o a tl Councii o i Religious Education on b e b tii of 40 IProtes* denominations. Released by W N U Fea- tuies.) '

Would America Collapse?
Sopie wag once said that if we
should suddenly do away with all
advertising in the United States, our civilization would immediately col
lapse. This statement contains more
truth than is at firs t apparent. There are those who refuse to si>s th e importance of advertising in th e pc o-
nomic life of the nation. MiirpDver,
there are thoue who have singled out this pha.se of trade and mdu.stry
for strong c ritic i -m.Civilization today w o u ld coilap?c-
if it were nnt b n isie rE d up by American adverlisin,;|. Today the rest of
the world depi-nds u p o n American
production. Yet, too few people recognize that this nation’s great pro
ductive capacity could not have been built up without advertising. Again,
there are too few people who cor
rectly see advertising as the bulwark of American economic free
dom. Advertismg is the golden key
that has unlocked the door to plenty for us all.
Greatest DsersOur world-renowned standards of
living were achieved because we found out how to produce in volume:
bathtubs, cars, radios, clothing,
food. We learned how to make wise use of the human resources of work
and brain-power. We learned to har
ness water-power, steam, oil, gas,
and all the others. We created machinery to do most of our hard work.
We learned the value of tools. In brief, we have made our factories
hum.But is that all? By no means. The
Socialist schemers have failed to
evaluate their old slogan, “production for use,” in the light of Amer
ica’s vast economy. Not only did we
learn to produce, we have learned to use. Americans are the world’.s
greatest producers, and also the world’s greatest users.
Better Prices, QualityThere’s more to it than just pro
duction. Ask any manufacturer, and he’U tell you that the heart of his
outfit is his sales force. The fellows
who sell and distribute goods represent the other half of our great mass production system. Your high pro
duction is fine, but it would do no
good unless the goods are placed m the hands of consumers. Continued
high output lowers the price. Get
the picture?Selling and distribution simply
could not do the job without adver
tising. Advertising not only sells goods, it always helps measurably to
lower prices and" to increase qual-
itj’. When electric refrigerators w^re first sold only a few thousand were
made, and it took SKOO or more to buy one. But during fifteen years
of advertising millions were sold,
the price came down to a fourth of the original price, and the quality
was improved greatly.Wake Up to Facts
Socialists and Communists have had some success in attacking this
part of American economic life. A
few years ago a survey of 5,000 consumers found that 72 per cent of
those iliterviewed believed adver
tising increased costs to the consumer. Among high school teachers,
this figure reached 82 per cent. Another survey, answered by 3,174 stu
dents in 33 colleges, revealed that 12 per cent considered advertising
an economic waste.It is high time we woke up to the
economic facts-of-lifel Good and wise advertising is a vital part of
free competitive enterprise. Naturally, advertising would be unneces
sary in a dictators’nip. The dictator
could simply tell the people what to eat, wear, and enjoy. He would
also ten them what they could not
have. Under a system that perinlts no advertising, we would have two
choices: a lower standard of liv
ing or a dictatorship.

Car Demand Heaviest
Although three out of every five families in Detroit already own
automobiles, nearly half of the families in that city are planning to buy
an automobile in the near future,
according to a recent Detroit News survey. The survey, based on inter
views with 13,000 persons representing various income groups, showed
that the 50 per cent demand for automobiles in that city compares with a 28.2 per cent demand for
radios, 22.3 per cent demand for refrigerators and 13.9 per cent demand for ranges.
