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.

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. tative. follow suit and become de linquents. 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. litical leaders at a time when It is proposed to reinstate rationing, price controls. allocations of ma- tertals and other irksome and on. necessary reatrictirtus. If we haven’t learned anything bv our own experience during the war, perhaps we can learn from the.experience ot others.—Ex. 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 Bt . . “Not another word, Susie 1” . . Food Digger She’s an after dinner speaker.

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.

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.” Simple Geography Teacher: “What is Australia bounded by.

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 DAVIE RECORD. !»fOCKSVIIJ-R N. C. ■ W E E K L Y N E W S A N A L Y S IS ' Accysed Get High Court Protection; Top U.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinions are expressed In ^these colnmns, they are those o Western Newspaper Union's news aoatysta and not necessarily of this newspaper. H IG H C O U R T : P ro te c ts A c c u se d 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.” U . s . T O P M E N : N e e d M o re P a y 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.” S E A W A Y : ’R o u n d a n d ’R o u n d 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. F IR E B E L L S : S o m e A re L u c k y 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. IN V A S IO N ’ : T o th e S o u th 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. N E W S T A R T E R ? F o r Je ts 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. E D U C A T IO N : B y C o n g re ss? A national scholarship program for coUege and university students ttTll be proposed to the 81st con­gress, according to an announce­ment by the National Education Association.DR. RALPH MCDONALD, execu­tive secretary of the NEA’s depart­ ment on higher education, said the program will have bipartisan sup­ port.Department officials have esti­mated tlie program would reqmre 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 urge these provisions in the bill:NO FEDERAL CONTROL of ei­ 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. S ig n o f t h e T im e s Rep. Earl E. Mucdt (B., S. D.), acting chairman of the house un- American activities committee, looked like he was trying to put the hex on suspected Communists in the U.

N O T C L O T H E S : B u t B irth p la c e 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.

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 Pretty Woodland Scene 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.”* « « S h rim p A lso A b o u n d There The lizard has moved over to get into a patch of sunlight leaking through the leaves of the magnolia tree. 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). My wife wiU do something miracu­lous to the. sauce. How I long for that dish. Why I haven’t had a real shrimp for. I don’t know how long— it must have been as long ago ag yesterday at lunch!* * • 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.

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. Glorify Holiday Leftovers!(See Recipes Below.)

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.

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.

X i t e r FICTION ' C a e n e c 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. GEM SESSION Twinkle, Twinkle — Eveiybody’a collecting rhinestone jewelry.

LE N, C.. JANUARY 6. 1949 I SO M ET H IN G , FOR\ ^ u y ," 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. \Notice to Creditors Having qvalified as Administra |tor of the estate of G. W .

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. Big Coverage ‘‘Many papers brag about tbeir “coverage” sa>s a Kansas weekly, "but we cover the country like a blnnket. and that’s not ell! Our paper also covers numerous pen- try shelves hither and thither and you. It covers pans of bread dough and milk It covers cracks in the window panes and the brooder house fioor. It covers the bed springs jo keep tbe cold from cteeping through the thin mattress. It cover.« tbe henhouse walls and broken places in tbe plaster And sometimes i. covers a multitude of sins by not mentioning them.’’— Religious Telescope.

Only a materials .short, age would .serion ly interfere ' with a new mark, it was indicated. 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.” MARRIAGE FEES Millions of Appls Boxes , Form Villfge of “Bos'.ilb” "BoxviUe” in co;:iify,Wosli., is a vact sp;£.>v!:n" villrjs cf “houses” in which, even in d?v3 of housing shorta.ijeo. no cne Tall and long are the serried rows of “houses” and th2y are roof;d against rain and wind. The lur-.::-r UEsd in them would suffice to con­struct thousands of homes, but it fills an equally critical need. For they are made of apple boxes, not tl:,-! .'iort you see at your grocery, but the l;ind that are us3d in harvesting and shipping to packing centers the fabu­lous, multi-million dollar apple crop of the state of Washington. To the "home folks” of Yakima valley, "Boxville” is as familiar as the endless orchards which clothe the lowlands and rolling hills with .green •hawls,of beauty. Yet they astonish the newcomer who may, at first, mis­take them for warehouses. His imag­ ination is spurred by the knowledge that these millions of empty wooden boxes are soon to be filled with de­licious, health-giving fruit. The apple box, which is 19 inches long by 10% inches wide and llVi Inches deep, holds—^not quite—one bushel. It was standardized in its present day dimensions somewhere arotmd the turn of the century. Bo::- es of that day varied somewhat in size and hence did not always fit snugly Into the beds of horse-drswn farm wagons. Son: •‘Fa|.-a, how much does it cost to get marriec?” Papa: "There’s a two-dollar down payment and then you pay your en­ tire salaiT every week for the rest of yoiu- fliie.” End Table If all the students who sleep in class were laid end to end—they would be more comfortable. 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 utes.” Identification “ 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.” Seen Along Main Street Bv The Street Rafphlor.

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.

TlOaiM WNU—7 .01—49 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 M y C r e e d HAVE die faith to know diat this deep soirow Weighing upon my heart will lift at laft; - • That I shall waken bn some glad tomonow.

Into the simlight at the journey's end. Grace Noll Crowell I 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 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.

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. /Prince Charlie 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. W ash S iv g to n D i9 c s % 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.

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.

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.

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.” Uncle Sam Says A Difficult Feat Many thousands of wise fathers, hus­bands and sons know there is no more Ihonglilful Christmas gift llian a U.

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.

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.

W e don’t know how many ficesh eggs it takes to make 28 m il­ lion pounds of died eggs, but that is how many tlie government has government has bought up from the farmers tills year and put in storage to create a scarcity and keep you paying seven cents a> piece for the eggs you get at the store. » The officials of the Department of Agriculture have no idea what they ate going to do with all those dried eggs. Last year most of them were exported, but this year Lurope raised a good grain crop and had feed for the chick­ ens. As a result, European hens began laying; and now Europe doesn’t want our 28 mOlion pounds of died eggs. Anyway, the Department of A- griculture has promised that; if tbe price of eggs shows any sign of weakening, it will start buying them up again. Andjwe’ll keep on paying seven cents apiece, and the government will keep on yelling for price con> trul.—Charlotte Observer.

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.

Easter Lily, Native of France In 1946 about 65 million Easter lily bulbs were produced in the United States, with 35 million being raised in Oregon alone. The original Easter lily was the pure white Madonna, or Ascension, from southern France. Now Creoles from Florida and Lou­ isiana are whiter and have more sheen. Most pot lilies come from Ore. gon, Washington or Northern Call- fomia. These are Croft lilies, origin, ated by the department of agricul­ ture from Japanese and Bermuda seedlings. 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.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE. N. C, 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, Frankie Libold studied it carefnlly. “It’s all full of holes from them nails,” he announced finally. 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.” bv NANCY PEPPER JOE’S CLOTHES We might have caUed this “wise guise,” if we hadn’t been afraid you’d tell us to take off the husks. Anyhow, it’s about the fashions your favorite boys are wear­ing when they’re toot encased in those too bright shirts.Corduroys in Color — Since our last survey of male modes, cor­duroy jackets have moved up into first place for sartorial honors. Formerly, the boys were wearing them in light tan only. Now, they’ve branched out and you girls swoon for those coUarless style corduroy jackets in maroon, green olr gray. What are they trying to do, any­way—steal your thtmder? Play the Game—The newest cot­ton knit T shirts for boys are print* ed in a tick-tack-toe design, with only one frame already made out. The idea is to beat him at his own game and you can use your lipstick to make the "Os” and “Xs.” Guess he was jealous of your denim jac­ket with the checkerboard on the back and the checkers hanging on a key chain in front.

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.

MOCKSVILLE, M. C. ‘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.” Taft Laughed (EDITOS’S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in tbese columns, fbey are (bose o Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this 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. Prodigal's Return s\^ShilV9tCMV D ig e s t ; Public Health Bill Faces Tough Battle in Congress B y BAUKHAGEffea/s Analyst and Commentator. ! m con-■ WASHINGTON.—^The dim roar of an approaching battle i ;ress is being heard over the horizon. The struggle w ill concern BAUKHAGE Jimmy Dykes, former third baseman of the Pbiladelphia A’s and manager of the Chicago White Sox, gets welcome hand­shake from Connie Mack after Dykes signed up as coach of the Athletics. WOMEN: Fewer Home Fewer American married women were staying at home. In a com­plete reversal of the war years, married women workers in the na­ tion topped single women holding jobs.A report by the federal census biureau showed that there were in the labor force—those working and looking for work — about 8,300,000 married women and 5,900,000 single women. ■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.♦ • » LlanfairpwUgwyngyllgogerychwy- mdrobwllUantysiliogogogoch is said b y the National Geographic Soci­ ety to be the longest place-name in the world.

(iru^ fclorvS. 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.

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. jftJTA VE SOME PERSON I r u p o u nsw eie j>Esce^/3>ff^eNmBERS,ONESMAUEK th a n THE N e y z beap- ///eAcaoss. o—/o\eV£HSE THATNUM- 9753 /T, ANS SUBTHACT. i^ t/e R S E 4 7 i g + 10890Y’OUR PR|£ND WILL FINBTWAT THE TOTAL WILL ------- ALWAY5 3 E 1 0 8 9 0 .

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.

C„ JANUARY 19. ;949 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. LGOJCTNaA N £A D GEORGES, BENSON PrtsUcm—Mardiitf CcUtfe Siarnj. 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.

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. Have you lic.ard l»r.

Treasuru De:mrtment LOOKING Aff£AD mr GEORGE s. BENSON Presi4fftt~~Jiardiag CeUe^e $mey, 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.

Mrs. Nannie Tate, who has been living in Charlotte for some time, is visitiog relatives in the connty. J. M. Dinelar spent a few days in S'atesvllle last week taking in the live stock fair. At the Iredell county live stock show held in Statesville last week, T. L. Kelly, of this city, won se­ cond prize for the be.st horse colt. The prize was a Stetson bat and f j in eash. The Cooleemee hosiery mill, which was built several years ago, started up in full blast last Monday. We understand that a Northern c< tnpany purchased the mill several wetics ago. But few folks now living, know who was postmaster in Mocksville in 1831— 118 years ago. He was Thomas McNeely. Davie was at that time a part of Rowan connty. John M. Groce, of Farmington, has purchased tha stock of grocer ies owned by Penrv & Wagoner, in the Weant block, and will be glad for the people of the town and county to give kim a call when In need of anvihing in bis line, P.

As No, *5, the southbound pass- enger train was about a mile Sontb of Woodleaf Saturday night, there came near l>eing a erious accident Two large rocks rolled from a deep cut down on the tract. Owing to a eurve Engineer Jones did not see the rocks until too late to stop the train before hitting them. No dam age was done, however, and the rocks were removad and the train proceeded oa its way. The roeks fell on the tracks in such a man net that the passengers hardly knew wh«t a narrow escape they had. The wet weather is the cause ot the rocks tumbling down onto tht; track. solution 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. DidnH Ytait To Find Out A ventriloquist attended a Negro funeral unknown to the mourners. Afterwards, one of them told an. other what had happened at the cemetery. ‘ You won’t believe It. Mose,” the narrator said, still wild eyed, but when day begins to lowah Joe in his grave, he says, ■Lemme down easy, boys ’ ” “ And did dey finisb burying him?” “ Man, Ah don’t know. Ah didn’t stay.” Showers A Clock Watcher 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.

One Sunday morning a father met his four-year-old son, an ardeni radio listener, just as he was com­ ing out of Sunday school. The son was asked what the children had been doing. “Oh, they sang,” he 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 doesn’t make you any happier.” “No, but it enables me to be un­ happy more intelligently.” Books Are Heavy“How many studies are you car­rying?”“I’m carrying one and dragging four.” 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. Open House Mr. Smith; “My wife came from a large family.

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.

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.

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.

When Xerxes Crossed Hellespont When Xerxes, the famous Persian general, crossed the Hellespont in 480 B.

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.

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. 1 will be in Mocksville on Jan. 26th, at the court house, second floor, at 12:30 noon.

DOANS PILLS '^FICTION cwa ®? 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 , /.M*.

N. C. -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. "Wishbone" Magic Marshall Plan Has Halted The Spread of Communism By BAUKHAGE 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. Circumspect, well-behaved Britons couldn’t understand how anyone could do either of these reprehen­sible things. An idea of how hard-to-catch may be the pound-note thief is provided in the fact that the money, stolen last summer, had only begun to circulate recently. 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. ‘► a'iH K SW CHESrCOipS MUSTEROLE Getting Deaf?

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! (See Recipes Below.) 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 and their fiBings are tasteless.However, whether you’re making your first, twenty-first or your hun­dred and first pie, there’s no reason for it to be any­thing but the best.

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.

BENSON PusideHt—MertllMj CMcge Seany, ArkansM 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.
