Razethe Old White House? Reo esenta’ive Cannon of Miss, nri, who onlv a few Javs ago la<d himself wide open to criticism for 0 highlv jingoistic speech against Russia, has again managed to pnt his foot in bis mouth when he sug. >;e.sted that instead of spendire $5 400,000 to lenovate the While house we ought to tear down "this crumbling sandstone shell” for no natter how much renovation was done on it, it would probably co to •ieces in less than 50 years Not that Mr. Cannon Isn’t right, hni he fails to take into consider ition the netls of sentimental sob. sters, tH>th male and female, who shrink with horror at the tbongbt of tearing down a structnre asso dated with the founding of the Republic even though, after reno. vation. nothing would be left of the original but the crumbling out. er walU. And that is about all that is now left of the original exe :utive man­ sion which was started in 1792 and completed In 1799 only to be burn­ ed to the ground in 1814 when the British captured that city. To hide the marks of fire the Virginia free. Slone exterior was painted and the place has heen known as the “ White Honse was completely re­ plica of the Duke of Leinster man. sion in Ireland.

It was reroofed and again remodeled in 1927, and since then there have i>een further repairs, changes and additions. Chances are that for the money asked to repair the old structure, a cotcplelely nsw a better executive mansion could be erected, one which, as Mr. Cannon says, would last for centuries.

Soap Bubbles Prove Useful In Experimental Studies Scientists have resorted to blow, ing soap bubbles in an effort to find out what makes metals strong, says Sir Lawrence Bragg of Cam­ bridge university, England, Nobel prize winner in physics in 1915.Soap bubbles, Sir Lawrence ex­plained, have proved more useful than anything else tried so far in constructing a working model of the crystal structure of a metal. A cluster of bubbles, he said, behaves much like the cluster of atoms making up a metal crystal, and lasts “an hour or so,” which is long enough to permit experiments.The bubble-blowing studies were undertaken, according to Sir Law­rence, because science as yet has no satisfactory theory of metal strength, despite the enormous amount of empirical knowledge about the mechanical properties of metal which has been obtained through countless investigations of the metals and ' alloys so impor­tant in modem technology. “On the theoretical side, we know the way atoms are arranged in the perfect structure of metal crystals, and the theoretical physi-^ cists can tell us much about the forces of attraction and repulsion which keep these structures togeth­er,” he stated. "There is no bridge, however, i>etween theory and the empiric^ knowledge of mechanical properties. We cannot calculate from first principles the point at which a metal ceases to respond elastically and yields with conse­quent permanent deformation.” Guam’s Dietary Standards Raised by Modern Bakery Eight thousand American resi­ dents of the tiny Pacific outpost of Guam are getting fresh en­ riched bread daily, plus a wide assortment of pastries, thanlcs to the production know-how of the American baking industry and the resourcefulness of a technician who built a modern bakery using mis­cellaneous equipment wliich weath­ ered the Japanese invasion. The teciinician is Arthur R. De- Long, well-known American bak­ ery ofiSciai, who was drafted by the government to help restore Guam’s dietary standards to a pre-war level.DeLong scoured through shoul­der-high vegetation last spring to salvage bakery equipment still resting where it had been placed preparatory to the invasion of Japan in 1949. To tiiis he added machinery originally employed in Guam’s pre-war bakery, still com­plete except for certain gear lev­ ers. These, he believes, the be­ leaguered marines used for clubbing Japs when Guam was invaded. Now operating at full capacity, DeLong’s bakery produces each day 1,300 two-pound loaves of en­riched bread, 1,000 pies, and a wide assortment of cakes and small pastries. Carp and the Chinese Carp have been raised in China for more than 2,000 years, much as other domesticated animals are raised for food, and occupy an im­portant place in the economy of the country. Not only have carp left their impression on the eating hab­its of the Chinese and Japanese na­tions, but over the years have as­sumed a leading role in the art of those countries. The carp has be­ come predominant in the art con­sciousness of the oriental painter to such an extent that in their stylized prints and oils, any rep­resentation of a fish is almost cer­tain to be a carp. The fanciful pa­ per kites and floats that play a major part in the exotic motif of oriental celebrations and parades are also likely to be carp. Sylvester Says: "Don’t be fooled. Things are not as bad I as they look.” More homes per hour are be­ ing built here than anywhere else on earth. We have more tele­ phones, bathtubs, radios, clectrical power, automobiles and square footage of housing per person than any country on earth.You can build a home here with­out a government permit—in Eng­ land you cannot. Here tens of thousands of homes are being built for investment and rent—in-France they dare not. Socialized housing in Europe has meant less housing. Government controls on industry have always been followed by less production; less comfort and convenience for the masses. Honest Gal Coolidg« PRESIDENT Calvin CooUdfie ‘ scrupulously exact in m< wasscrupulously exact in money matters. When he returned to pri­ vate life, in 1929, he accepted an offer to write a series of articles for a national magazine. When he submitted the last one, he included an article written by his wife. The editor paid for Mrs. Cool- idge’s article at the usual rate, but ^ d not print it. A few days later, Coolidge invited the editor to breakfast. " I see you didn’t print my wife’s article,” he said."I’m sorry.” apologized the ed­ itor. "We couldn’t manage the space." "In that case,” said Coolidge, opening his wallet, "we can't keep this check.”Despite the other’s protests, he insisted upon returning it. A mo­ment later, the waiter handed Coolidge the brealdast check. He glanced at it, then sliowed it to the editor."A $1.50,” he said. "You owe me 75c.'’ HE KNOWS MULES A man applied at a stable for a job as helper. “I suppose you know everything about horses?”“Oh, yes, sir. I’ve been handling horses all my life.” “Know how to feed ’em, keep ’em in condition, hitch up a rig and aU?” “Yes, sir.”“I suppose you’re also familiar with mules?” The job-seeker shook his head impressively. "Boss, I know too much about mules to get familiar with ’em.” Entitled to Respect The industrialist, Charles M. Schwab, decided one day to attend a performance of that perennial stage farce, “Charley’s Aunt,” and accordingly requested his secre­ tary to get two tickets for him.Handing some money to one of the office boys, the secretary said, "Go around to the theater and get two tickets for ‘Charley’s Aunt,’ please.”The boy, a quiet and thoughtful youngster, walked to the door, then retraced his steps to the secretary’s desk and respectfully suggested, "Don’t you thmk I’d better say Mr. Schwab’s atmt, sir?” C.4R EXPERT "Know anything about cars?” "Been mixed up with ’em a bit." “Mechanic?” "No, pedestrian.” Sylvester Says: “fixcuse me! But someone just took a qoarter out of your pocket.” In fact, Uncle Sam (national income and tax tables show) takes more than a quarter out of your pocket every time you earn a dollar. If the government spends new billions for public housing; more billions for public medical care; ad­ ditional billions for the unemploy­ed; more billions for maintaining farm product prices; and other millions to subsidize education in public schools—^then, will the hand in your pocket take 75« in taxes and leave only a quarter out of each dollar yon earn? Business Census Statesville gets the appointment of Harry B. Moore for the forth­ coming Census of Business. He is appointed by U . S. Bureau of the Census. He has opened of­ fice in the City Hall in Statesville. The office will have charge of the business census in the 1 2 counties —Alexander.

Report forms, prepared by the census bureau in co-operation representatives of more thaa fifty trade accociations and other such organizations, will be personally distributed” by about 4,500 enum erators in all parts of the country. The figures thus collected are expected to provide “a basis for measuring the contribution made to the distribution and service trades in supplying goods, employ­ ment and wages. Emphasis will be laid on development of statis tical information designed to fur nish trade management with data to be used in appraisal of busi­ ness operations.

In a number of cases Social Se­ curity benefits have been lost be cause the worker did not know his rights. Monthly Old Age and ■ Survivors Insurance payments are due retired wage earners who have attained 65; have worked in em­ ployment covered bv the Social Security Act about one-half the time since fanuary, 1937, and tke date age 65 is reached; and who file claim for these payments. The last requirement, the filing of your claim, is your responsibil­ ity. The law states that payments cannot be made for more than three months before the month the claim is filed. Not long ago, an elderly gentleman told me that he received unemployment com­ pensation checks after he vras laid oflf. He thought when these pay­ ments stopped that he had drawn out all he had paid in to Social Security, so he did not bother to visit our office. I took a record of his account number, full name, and date of birth and sent for his certified wage record. The record of his earnings showed that he Was entitled to $22.50 each month. Since his wife was over 65 also, she could receive $11.25, which is one-half what her husband could get. This couple could have been receiving these monthly payments for over a year but they had lost all these payments because they had not filed their claims. There was absolutely no way whereby we could go back and pay for those lost months for the Act is specific about this. If you are age 65 or older, and if you have ever worked on jobs covered by the Social Security Act, don’t take the chance of los­ ing the monthly benefit payment to which you may be entitled.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE. N. C. Of Your I sm 'Decisiveness'I O @ May Mask Fear By Lawrence Gould Can “decisiveness” mask secret tear? Answer: Yes—the fear of being or appearing “indecisive,” says iMelitta Sciimideberg in the Psy- 'choanalytic Review. It is not "wealtminded” to hear both sides of a question and take time to ■ weigh them before coming to a ■conclusion, but some people who are basically sufferers fi'om ambi­valence and do not want to admit it wtU compel themselves to make i“snap judgments” and will stick :to these through thick and thin 'father than face the painful truth that at heart they’re uncertain about everything and everybody. Can you tell if you have a "mother complex”? Answer: You have a mass of "associations” with your mother (which is all a “complex” is) if ^ e brought you up, and if not, with anyone who took her place. 'And only the nature of these as­sociations decides whether or how far this “complex” has kept you from growing up emotionally. If W still depend upon your mother or a “mother substitute” to bolster up your self-esteem and settle moral issues tor you; if your con­fidence in business depends on the knowledge that your mother (or your wife) “believes in you," then you have a “mother complex?’ in the bad sense. Jesus And Critics Lesson for May 8, 1949 Dr. Foreman Is there any harmless drug for alcoholics? Answer: Not yet, anyhow, warns Dr. Edwin G. Zabriskie, eminent neurologist and chairman of a newly organized committee for the study of medical treatment of the “prob­ lem drinlver.” The committee is seeking funds to investigate a drug knov.Ti commercially as “antabus” on which favorable reports have been received from Denmark, but does not yet feel sure enough of its effects or it| possible toxicity to advise releasmg it for gener^ use. In any case, “medical treat­ment must be followed by psycho­ therapy aimed at the social re­ building of the patient.” LOOKING AT RELESSOfj HEALTHY A if-S.-MiBZ By Dr. James V/. Barton W7hen I wake in the morning, 1 ** find my heart rale usually about 48, sometimes 34. After lying awake and thinking over the plans for the day, I find my heart rate to be 68, sometimes 72. When I return home from boxing bouts, notwithstandirig the fact that I did some boxing when young and have examined every heavy­ weight boxer except Gene Tunney, I find my heart rats up to 80. Apparently, although 1 re­ main calm, my thoughts are on every blow ol the boxers and unconsciously I am delivering blows or warding them off. In other words our hearts beat faster and stronger and we pump extra blood when we are excited or upset in mind. We have our heart or blood pres­sure tested or undergo a metabo­ lism test to find whether our thy­ roid gland is pouring a normal amount of juice into the blood (or less or more than normal), we are supposed to be in a complete rest­ ing state. Unfortunately for the test, if we have something on our mind, are worried about the ou^ come of the test, the heart will be beating faster and harder and the blood pressure will be increased.In the Journal of Clinical Inves­ tigation, Drs. J. B. Hickman, W, H. Cargill and A. Golden point out that because physical rest does not mean emotional rest or relaxation, widely-different values are ob­ tained. A study of the effect of emotional disturbance (anxiety) in 23 on- selected medical students showed that the average output of Uood from the heart was raised from 4.2 in the control period (that is, both mind and body were at rest) to 6.2 in the anxious period. Any illness involves a certain amount of nervousness or mental disturbance. The patient wonders what is wrong, what the outcome may be. About one-half of all patients who consult their physi­ cians have no real physical or or­ ganic disease, but I'.ave symptoms which are the san;e or very sim­ilar to those prtsent in organic disease. After an operation for low back pain caused by a protruding disk exercises should be taken to i straighten the muscles in the back > that hold the spine erect. One sim- ' pie exercise is lying on the abdom­ en and trying to bring the head and heels together, the knees kept straight. This should be done sev­eral times night and morning. Du r in g JESUS’ last week, hia enemies were firing at point> blank range. They were dead set to kill him; but they did not want to do that if they could ruin h i m some other way. What they tried to do was to make him out either a rascal or a fool, or both. Mark’s story shows h o w Jesus took it. The first ques­ tion they asked sounded perfectly fair. “Where did you get your au­thority?” As we saw last week, Jesus had assumed simply trem­ endous authority. Wasn’t it fair to ask him where he got it? The trouble was that the men who asked the questions didn’t want to know. They only wanted to heckle Jesus. The world is full of just snch license-bunting s n o op e r s as these. They do not like it when a man succeeds. Iliey pariic- nlarly do not like it when a man succeeds without their help. “Who is this fellow anyway? Where did he get his start? What family does he have, where is his diplo­ ma?” Jesus never answered this question, because he knew why they asked it. (Mark 11:27-33.) * • • Taxes TN JESUS TIME you could not vote either for more taxes, or less. You paid what the Roman soldier at your door said to pay, and you were thankful not to be poked in the ribs with his sword while you were fishing up the mon­ey. But no one dared to complain. The Romans had some deep dank dungeons for people who com­plained about high taxes. So the next question Jesus’ enemies asked him was about taxes, or tribute, which means the same thing. They thought they had Jesus on a spot where whatever he said would put him in the wrong. Suppose he said: “Yes, pay taxes by all means.” Then they would snarl: “Boot­licker of the Romans! Traitor to your country!” But if Jesus said, "No, don’t pay taxes,” then they would howl: “Treason! Police! Ar­ rest this man who defies the Em­peror!” Jesus’ answer was a mas­ terpiece, because he not only did not dodge the hot question, he did not leave the questioners a leg to stand on. (Mark 12:17). Hairsplitters by Trade •THE CRITICS of Jesus were hair- splitters by trade. Yet none of them had ever been able to an­ swer another tricky question with which they now expected to floor Jesus. “Which is the greatest com­ mandment of ail?” The ques­tion had been going the rounds for generations. The greatest minds in Jewery had wrestled with it. But it was a foolish question after all. Which is the most important brick in a wall? What position on a volley-ball team is the most important? What is the most im­portant link in a chain? An answer to these questions would seem about as easy as answering that one about the greatest coromandment. Jesus knew they were trying to show him up as a bungler, as a very poor and amateurish hairsplitter indeed. But instead, he did what no one ex­pected him to do: he answered their question, and answered it so well ttat it is one of the cornerstones of our religion today. • • • How to Take Criticism *PHE r e a d e r should consult * Mark for the whole story. It bristles with practical thoughts, one of the most practical being how to take criticism. All of us can take it from our friends and families: we know they mean it for our own good. But criticism that is unfair from people who want only to show us up for fools or to get us into hot water—that is hard to take, Jesus should be our example. He did not let other people’s sriticisms Interfere with his work. He never avoided crit­ icism. He did not “twist the Uon’s tan, lie did not deliber­ ately - provoke criticism. But he would not claim exemption from what every one has to stand, being looked over and rated by the people who knew him. He never broke his heart over what people said of him. He did not go around crying to himself. ’rotestant denominations. “ 'U Piiatures) isased by Use Easter Eggs for Place Cards (See Recipes Belowi Easter Flans ONE OF THE TRADITIONAL highlights of Easter will probably be the coloring of Easter eggs. Though some adults think that coloring eggs is strictly child’s play and should he left to youngsters, a large percentage of grownups doesn’t agree. As a matter of fact, many people welcome Easter as a time when their artistic skill can be brought into full swing.You may make the eggs as elab­ orate or as simple as you like. Perhaps a few brightly colored eggs in a gay basket as a setting for the Easter breakfast table are all you’ll want. On the other hand, you may want to try out your skill at making faces or pencilling names on col­ ored eggs.With certified Easter egg col­ ors that come with a handy writer, you’ll be able to create eggs as simple or professional as you like. Eggs will be effective and appropriate place cards at the East­er dinner. Two appropriate creations cer­tain to appeal are the pert bunny and a coy little chick. Stiff white cardboard is used for the base and for the stand-up collars that hold the eggs.Use yeUow dye for the chicken. Rest the egg on a collar with a perky bow tied under the “chin.” Paint on eyelashes and attach a paper beak at the right place. Stand a feather up the back, and you’ll have a chicken everyone will love! The rabbit is prettiest when dyed light blue or pink. Use little white reinforcements (the kind the young­ sters get for notebook paper) for the eyes and mouth. Bits of white string tucked under the “mouth” make whiskers and long, tapering pieces of crepe paper make the ears. ’Turn the collar down in front to make a pointed collar and the bunny is complete.* « * EASTER DINNER might be built around lamb with appropriate sauce and spring vegetables. *Boast Leg of Lamb Have leg of lamb boned and rolled by the butcher. Wipe with a damp cloth. Mix together the fol­lowing; one-third cup fat or salad oil, one minced clove of garlic, two teaspoons marjoram, three- fourths teaspoon powdered mus­ tard, one tea­spoon salt and one - half tea- spoon paprika. Rub the mixture over the meat before roasting. For b o n e 4 rolled leg of ......... .......... lamb, set theoven slow (325“) and roast, with­out water or other liquid, 45 min­ utes to the pound if &e meat weighs between four and five pounds. For a heavier leg of lamb, roast 42 minutes per pound at the same temperature. • * • HAVE YOU EVER tried sweet potatoes with lamb? They’re a de- lidotis combination.

Its complete interchange­ability can be demonstrated by merely heating the salt red hot until it melts and passing an elec­tric current through the molten liquid: the resulting products will be sodium—soft, shining metal— and yellow chlorine gas. If the experiment is . followed through and the sodium thus ob­tained is warmed gently to render it molten and plunged back into the aforesaid chlorine gas, the two elements %vi31 unite, bittst into flame and burn back into pure white everyday table salt.

The North Caro­ lina Legislature has adjourned, and the prospects are good for a bumper blackberry crop. Remember mother not only on Mother’s Day. but every day in the year. Mother, Home and Heaven are the three sweetest words in the English language. There are a few firms and indi' viduals who do not advertise The Record. Sometimes we are led to believe that they don’t want the good Republicans of Davie and adjoining counties to trade with them. For 50 years the people of Davie County have read this rag of freedom and traded with the firms that use our adver­ tising columns. Think this over. Gevemor Scott is asking the good people of North Carolina to vote for a $200,CX)0,000 bond issue for roads, and a $25,000,000 bond issue to build more schools. This is a big sum of cash, with busi­ ness conditions unsettled as they are. We wonder what happened to that surplus of millions that our Democratic friends have been boasting about for the past sev­ eral years? It would seem that we were millionaires one year and paupers the next. Is Dewey President Two textile mills in Newton closed last week because of slack business, and in Lexington two other plants announced wage euts. Both of the Maiden spinning mills at Newton were suspending operations temporarily because of a lack of orders, a spokesman said. Production would be resumed as soon as orders warranted, he said. In Lexington, officials of the Barbet Cotton Mills announced a 15 per cent wage decrease, and said slack business was responsible. The Coble Dairies, Inc., cut wages 1 0 per cent, blaming recent decreases in the price of milk and other dairy products. A spokes­ man estimated the decrease would affect about 1 , 0 0 0 employees. A t nearby Thomasville, officials of the Thomasville Chair Com­ pany said they were instituting ir­ regular hours for employees at their plant to switch production to meet demands. The Davie County Board of Education has re-appointed Cur­ tis Price as Couty Superintendent of Schools for the coming two years. School committees for the coun­ty were also named as follows.

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Critics Attack New Farm Program As Urging Unprecedented Controls; Extciision Seen for Marshall Plan (EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinions ate expressed in these columns, tiiey are i IVestcrn Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of tUs ndw! FARM PROGRAM: Pros & Cons President Truman’s sweeping new farm program met with mixed response on Capitol Hill. Critics claimed it would carry the nation closer to socialism and would em­power the government with un- precendented farm controls and powers.PROPONENTS of the measure contended that consumers would be benefited- because retail food prices would be allowed to seek their own level. No matter which school of thought was correct, it was inescapable that the program would use taxpayers’ dollars to guarantee farmers an in­ come equal to tliat of a recent 10- year period.Some opposition to the plan termed it as one that might be so e.xpensive that it would push the U. S. treasury toward bankruptcy and would thoroughly regiment the farmer.CHARLES F. BRANNAN, secre­ tary of agriculture, conceded that "imponderables” such as weather and improved farm techniques made it impossible now to esti­ mate the cost of the program.He said of the program that it r probably would mean a heavy drain on consumers’ dollars.He added that the government plans soon to undertake a costly new program to keep up the price of pork. If this program is ap­ proved, Brannan said, farmers would sell their pork for whatever it would bring. The government- meaning the public—then would pay the farmer the difference be­ tween the support price and the price the farmer actually recei\'ed.REPRESENTATIVE Anderson (R., Minn.) was not impressed. He estimated the total government out­ lay under the program might run as high as 10 billion dollars a year. Wlien it is remembered the gov­ ernment has no money except that which it gets from the people in taxes, objective observers were wondering who, if anyone, could benefit by the program, since farmer and consumer alike would be paying out added funds to fi­ nance it. those of OLD AGE: No ElixirImpending old age affects many people in many ways. But to all who stand on its threshold, it is a topic of prime consideration. Of late, science, medicine and the psychiatrists all have been con­cerned with the subject and appar­ently little loath to be heard upon it.LATEST to ponder the problem of how one should approach old age and what may be expected in this period of life was a conference of 800 physicians from all over the nation.These physicians were all agreed that one of the biggest problems facing the medical profession in the problems of old age is making those added years healthy, happy and useful. Throughout the conference the warning was sounded again and again that something must be done to give men and women not only long life, but a healthy, happy and useful old age. THE SIMPLE and sad fact is that man’s life has been extended beyond his present capacity to en­joy it as a useful citizen, the medi­cal authorities agreed. For in pro­ longing life, science also prolonged suffering and misery — aU the chronic illnesses and disabilities which plague mankind in the declin­ ing years.Dr. Chauncey Leake, of the Uni­versity of Texas, said that young people as early as in high school should be taught how to grow old— that is, hov/ to cultivate hobbies and intellectual curiosity and how to develop a systematic regimen for physical and mental hygiene.He declared the country should have an “old-age program” similar to the child-care program. HE ALSO URGED increased re­ search on drugs which may^ help the aged by preventing the dis­ orders to which old people are sub­ ject.But, coming out by the same door wherein he went, he warned that all hope for an “elixir of life” must be dismissed—that there is no “miracle drug” to restore youth to the aged. Vl^Jierein he delivered himself of a truism well known even as Ponce de Leon was searching for the foun­ tain of eternal youth. "CORNY" PROPOSAL In the spring when care and and strife are most easily for­gotten and put aside, the expres­ sion here of Pandora, Phila­ delphia zoo’s precocious chimpanzee seems to epitomize the carefree abandon of spring. But Pandora is happy for another reason — she’s clebrating her second birthday on her gift bi­ cycle, and is she having fun! MARSHALL PLAN: To Be Continued Europe appeared certain of con­ tinued receipt of Marshall plan aid for another 15 months. An enthusiastic house of repre­sentatives, shouting down or beat­ing off every attempt to reduce the proposed appropriation figure, ap­ proved the gift bin by a vote of 354 to 18. EVERY AMENDMENT which would have reduced the fund, or delayed action in order to study Europe’s real needs, was brushed off by the majority.The bill, as approved by the house, was for 200 million dollars less than the bill which was voted by the senate. The upper chamber passed a measure appropriating 5.58 billion dollars. The house bill called for 5.38 billion. The house measure would author­ ize continued U. S. aid until July 1, 1950, subject to possible later cuts by the senate and house ap­ propriations committees. It pro­vided 272 million dollars to encour­ age American private business to invest in recovery projects abroad. Such investments would be guar­anteed against loss by confiscation of property overseas. FINAL VOTE on the house bill came after Majority Leader John W. McCormack (D., Mass.) pleaded against a GOP-led economy drive with a v,'aming that the “world is looking either to Washington or the Kremlin.” On the passage vote, 125 Repub­licans joined 229 Democrats in favor of the bill. Rep. John M. Vorys (R., Ohio) backed an amendment to cut off 380 million dollars from the ap­ propriations, which was defeated. Vorys, saying he favored the Mar­shall plan and the North Atlantic pact, nevertheless warned that “we have to keep strong here at home . . . if we are to help out abroad.” Vorys offered an amendment of his ovm to term what he called the “give-away” of American billions, It, too, was defeated. SACRIFICE: Lore of Mate If the name of vanity truly Is “woman” then the sacrifice made by a Chicago woman for her hus­ band must rank among the “no greater love” examples which are contained in the record. MRS. JOAN BIERDZ, 20, had a husband who was striken with can­ cer. This disease had ravaged his face to a point where an adult told him that he “looked like the villiati of Frankenstein.” Mr. Bierdz was a patient in the Bronx, N.Y., veter­ ans’ hospital. He had written his wife that his face “caused com­ment” when he attended a movie, and that he would never go .out again.After receiving the letter from her 26-year-old husband, Mrs. Bierdz slashed both her arms. She was arraigned in a Chicago court on a charge of disorderly conduct. SHE TOLD the judge: “I did it because I wanted people to look at me, instead of him . . . my hus­ band has been told by VA doctors he can live only a year at most.” British Shudder at Hominy Grits Plan It was doubtful if the majority of Americans would work up any vast regret at the plight of Englishmen who faced the horrible possibility of having to eat American-provided hominy grits.For, most Americans would real­ ize that there are thousands of needy poor rignt here in the South in our own United States to whom hominy grits is a staple item of diet, and who would face actual want without them. The situation was that congress might require 15 per cent of all com shipped under the European recovery plan to take the form 'of cornmeal or hominy grits. England was reported aghast at the report. The explosive reaction was: “How the yaiiks expect us to eat the ruddy stuff.” DEFENSE: Excesses Seen What could the people believe about America’s defense needs? Were the taxpayers being taken for a “ride” by a cynical, contemptu­ous coterie of military brass hats who were using world tension to set up an artificial basis for huge grabs from appropriation funds?THOSE APPEARED to be fair questions—and here’s why; Robert Patterson, former secre­ tary of war said: “It is no exag­ geration to say that the cost in duplication, competition and dis­jointed effort directly traceable to the two-headed (army-navy) sys­ tem ran into biUions and billions. Much of the public debt is due to that division of authority and re­ sponsibility between the war de­ partment and the navy depart­ment.” But what has that to do with de­ fense appropriations?Herbert Hoover — appointed to head up ^ survey committee to streamline government and cut costs—said that the army, navy and air force are padding their money requests to congress by millions of dollars. He also accused them of “start­ ling” waste and extravagance. THE FORMER PRESIDENT, ap­pearing before the senate armed forces committee, declared: “Ap­ plications in the military budget for hundreds of millions of dollars to retool industry should be exam­ ined with the greatest skepticism.” Hoover told the committee that what the department of national defense needs is a good bookkeep­ ing system. “At the present time,” he said, “nobody can tell the cost of any particular function in the armed services.” In submitting a report. Hoover observed that the federal govern­ ment now has about 27 billion dol­lars worth of personal property, and said; ■‘We might be able to live on our fat for awhile if we had it cata­ logued and knew where it was.” ALLIANCE: Things Humming The administration was really moving on the north atlantic de­ fense alliance. President Truman had urged the senate to take early action on the treaty in order to help western Europe ward off “brutality and aggression” by pledging U. S. par­ ticipation in the pact.SUCH ACTION, he said, “would be a long step on the road to peace.” Thus, as he began his fifth year as President of the United States. Harry Truman pointed up anew his conviction that a lasting world peace is an obtainable goal.“This treaty,” he said, “makes clear the determination of the peo­ple of the United States and of our neighbors in the North Atlantic community to do their utmost to maintain peace with justice and to take such action as they may deem necessary if the peace is broken.” WALLGREN: He's Willing Like the weak, but insistent jang­ ling of a run-down alarm on a bed­side clock, Mon C. Wallgren was still talking about what might have been. A VISITOR to the Wliite House— where he did not talk with Mr. Truman, the former Washington governor and close friend of the President, said he is “still avail­able” for the chairmanship of the National Securities Resources Board. WaUgren’s nomination to that post by President Truman was tabled by a senate committee. Bing at Bat H E A D LE SS R O O ST E R . . . M rs.

Braun had invented an automatic parking device where a customer’s car could be parked in a mechani­ cal storage garage. Boston city offi­cials were showing interest in the proposition. Braun said at such a garage human hands would not touch the automobiles.

She is the laushter of M r. and Mrs. Lester Heitm an. of Los Anseles Depression Possible THERE’S BEEN a lot of petty; bickering between the Pres­ ident’s council of economic advis­ ers, but there’s one unpleasant fact: they all agree on. They foresee def-' inite depression in 1950 or 1951—| unless steps are taken to head tt' off. The council, it will be recalled, j was created by congress in 1946 tO| advise the White House on how toi ward off depression. And althou^| the three members differ on a lot; of things, they feel that depression can be stopped—though only by the concerted cooperation of the admin*, istration, congress, business, farm-i ers and labor. To understand the back­ ground of the economic conn- cil’s vitally important business diagnosis, it should be re­ called that for the past 100 years American economy has been riding a roller-coaster of ups and downs, inflation and deflation, of booms and busts. In the past 50 years these upa; and downs have become more severe—so severe that the polit* buro in Moscow is known to have' based its global strategy on thoi theory that one more economic! depression would v?reck the entira American system. History’s Greatest Boom Since V-J day most Americans, have been enjoying the greatest wave of prosperity in history—for two reasons: 1. The public’s un­ satisfied demand for goods they, could not buy during the war; 2., The cold war, which has caused- the government to pour billions Into the world’s economic stream. However, the coimcil estimates that the long pent-up demand for automobiles, refrigerators and oth­er consumers’ goods is now just about filled, while the vast expendi­tures in Europe in another year will begin to taper off, so that de­ pression will come in 1950-51. Another factor is the psych­ ological effect of smftly rising prices followed by dropping prices. If OPA and inflation controls had not been thrown overboard by congress and prices had not shot up so high, business dislocation might not be so bad now. For, while falling prices at the moment may be healthy, yet a lot' of business—especially small busi­ ness—always gets hurt by falling: prices. And the psychological ef-‘ feet of falling prices encourages; depression; for people, waiting- for lower prices, don’t buy. President’s Advisers The three members of the Pres-, ident’s council of economic advis-] ers are: Chairman Dr. Edwin Nourse, a New Yorker, long-time member of the Bookings Institute, and gen­erally considered the most con­ servative counselor. Leon Keyserling, a native of South Carolina, former secretary to Senator Wagner, who has had a long experience in the govern-: ment, chiefly in the U. S. housing authority. A liberal, Keyserling frequently disagrees with more conservative chairman Nourse. John D. Clark, a native of Color­ ado and former economics profes­sor at the University of Nebraska and the University of Denver. Clark usually lines up with liberal Keyserling. However, the council has composed its differences to recommend a program to Pres­ ident Truman which it regards a s absolutely essential t o block depression. While all three agree, Dr. Nourse con­siders the voluntary pb4ise of the program more important, but Keyserling a n d Clark, though not disagreeing, would place more emphasis on the government phase. The program which Nourse con-! Eiders most important is: Farmers—Convince farmers to: grow bigger crops and accept somewhat lower support prices, thereby reducing the consumers’ food bill, but continuing a reason­ able return for farmers. Business—Sell businessmen on lower profits per item, thereby get­ting greater volume and continued reasonable profits. Labor—Persuade labor leaders not to seek wage increases that will throw the economy out of gear. Government Remedies The Clark-Keyserling group, while agreeing with the above, ability to “persuade” business, farmers and labor. Therefore, they put more emphasis on hard-and- fast government incentives which lyould prop up the economy regard­ less of persuasion. They recom­mend: Increased social security bene­ fits to take care of unemployed and the aged. Present old-age pensions are woefully low and unemployment benefits last only a brief interval after unemployment starts.

Or is it to be done by rays? Turned by Joe Stalin onto President Truman, might they halt Harry in the middle of a stern “We intend to stand by to the bitter end” and bring forth an abrupt cry, “Hooray for the Kremlin!” ' Do you see a time when the Thirteen Men of Moscow, giving uproarious approval to a Pravda editorial denouncing America, may, under a magic ray in the hands of Uncle Sam, suddenly glow with anger and order the Pravda edi­ torial writer shot at once? Is the time near when Vishinsky, loaded with expletives and rising to excoriate the democracies, will, due to a current, a ray or an iso­ tope, break into a broad smile and say, “Ladies and gentlemen, I am just a Happiness Boy. There is nothing in this w'orld like friend­ship. See what the boys in the backroom will have!” Can Henry Wallace, mount­ ing the platform, be reached by a mystery beam and his address denouncing EKP, the Truman administration and the Atlantic pact converted into a talk on how to produce better laying hens? We see the following possibilities: 1.—Moscow issues orders for the complete seizure of China. The Chinese Commimist general gets it, but Washington calls on its Thought Control tower, centers the beam on him and renders the gen­eral incapable of saying anything but “Nuts!” 2.—The politburo prepares to is­ sue a blast at America. Under the Thought Blitzer the boys cannot think of the words “Wall Street,” “Money Bund” or “Exploiters.” This leaves them completely help­ less. 3.—A new play opens on Broat way. It is lousy.

Done in Technicolor, with delightful new songs, it stars Bing Crosby, Sir Cecil Hardwick, Rhonda Fleming Br.d William Bendix. Sir Cecil, su­ perb in his comedy role as the ki.-.g, raises his voice in song, and BING CROSBY also appears with bare knees, some­ thing new for him, though he said recently at limcheon that it’s the second time the knees have ap­ peared publicly. The first time was on the stage, when he wore a Roman toga. This is a picture for the whole family to enjoy, expert­ly directed and acted, beautifully staged.

King, dog veteran of numer­ ous landings in the Pacific during the war, makes his screen debut in “After Mid­night.” In his first scene he leaped at Alan Ladd, tore his leather jacket to shreds, and hung on in a struggle on" the ground—then, when Director IHitchell Leisen caUed “Cut,” King immediately relaxed his grip and tried to lick Ladd’s face!

Fiction Comer ARTISTIC ANCESTORS By Richord H. Wilkinson «T WISH,” said Aime Butterworth ^ wistfully, “I only wish there had been some one in our family who really did something, something worth while, something—” she smiled as she said it—“I could brag about.” Fred Butterworth laid aside the morning paper, gulped down the last of his coffee, shoved back his chair and said: “What?” Aime overlooked his rudeness. “The bridge club meets here this _______________ afternoon,” sh e said, “and I 3 -Minute dread it. I ■rintiAii dread it be- FlCtiOn cause Aggie ------:----- and Gertrude Wil­ cox will monopolize the conversa- ,tion with stories of their oncestors. Fred scratched his chin and con­ templated the wistful look in his wife’s eyes. Suddenly he banged the table. “By George, I’d ahnost for­ gotten it! Darned if I hadn’t. You sit here a minute, sweet, till I rum­ mage around in the attic. I’ll give you something to brag about!” Later he returned with a book. “But what is it?” asked Aime. “It’s a book of poetry, that’s what it is! Written by my mother and published 20 years ago. There’s tal­ ent in my family. I’ll have you know.”# Aime’s eyes lighted, then glowed with sudden joy. “Fred! Ifou dear! Is it really? Was yonr mother really a poet? Oh, why didn’t you tell me before! It’s just too exciting!” Fred grinned delightedly. En- route to the station he began to smile. And by the time he had boarded the 8:15 the smile had de­ veloped into an occasional chuckle. Tom Cooke, who usually sat #ith Fred during the short run to the city, became curious. “Say what’s eating you this morning? Let a man in on it if you’ve got something that’ll fetch a laugh these duU days.” Fred laughed outright. “I’ll tell you, Tom. It’s too good to keep. But don’t on your life breathe a word. It wotild kill Aime. r )M MADE SOLEMN promises and cocked his ear, “Well,” said' Fred, “Aime was upset this morning because she didn’t have anything to brag about at her bridge club. The other members, it seems, have artistic ancestors. It made Aime feel bad to think she married into such an uninteresting family, so I dug into an old trunk and pro­ duced a book of poems that mother published 20 years ago, and told her to brag about that.” Tom looked puzzled. “What’s wrong with that? I’d say a mother- in-law poet was O.K.” “But here’s the mb,” Fred grinned. “Ihat book of poems is an old manuscript that be­ longed to my grandmother. After grandmother died, mother found • the ’script, thought the poems were worthy of publication, added a few of her own choice verses, and submitted the retyped copy to a publisher. Mr. Pub­ lisher ate the stuff ap. "Mother was thrilled. She thought she must have real talent, and went down to the library to study up and read the masters. While perusing a volume of Walt Whitman she discovered some of the very poems that her mother had supposedly written. “Of course, mother Immediately wired the publisher, advising him to cease manufacturing the book, and explaining that her mother must have copied some of her favorite Whitman poems, in order to save them. But Mr. Publisher had al­ready printed about 2000 copies, which were ready for distribution. Mottier bought up the edition and destroyed all but one, which she kept for sentimental reasons.

Series K—48 Elevators Found Helpful on Farms Perform Most of Heavy Lifting, Transport Jobs On today’s electrified farms, ele­vators periorm most of the heavy lifting and short transportation jobs. Althou^ used for a number of years to some extent, these devices did not acquire widespread popu­ larity until World War II. It was during the worst of th* manpower shortage period that ele­ vators were used most. They an­ swered the demands of older men for mechanical help to replace em­ ployees called to service. And they saved the day for yoimger farmers in helping them save time for more important production tasks. Xhis photo shows how baled hay can be raised with an in­ clined plane elevator. Farm elevators are either porta­ ble or stationary. In general, motors for portable elevators range in size from one-half to one horsepower. Tests made at Idaho state college indicate that an average load of grain can be emptied and cribbed by one man in from six to eight minutes with the aid of a portable elevator. Elevators also are used for rais­ ing or moving a wide variety of farm produce, including hay, loose or sacked grain. The use of elevators in farm work has been foimd highly desirable be­cause of the freeing of labor for other tasks and the amount of time saved over the run of a crop year. DN-289 Efficient Typical injury on fruit from eye-spotted bud moth. The developement of a new and efficient dinitor fungicide and in­ secticide for orchard use has beien announced by the manufacturer, Dow chemical company. The chemical is the triethanola- mine salt of dinitro-sec-butylphenol and is effective against a wide range of fruit pests and diseases. First used experimentally during the 1942 season, the compound is now ready for commercial use un­ der the trade name DN-289. It is available as a stable, clear solution which contains eight ounces actual dinitro-sec-butylphenol in each quart and which is readily miscible with water. DN-289 has shown high efficiency as an insecticide for use in the dor­mant period against a variety of insects such as the rosy apple aphid, the currant aphid, the black cherry aphid, the mealy plum aphid, eye spotted bud moth, thi cherry case-bearer, the pear psylla and oyster shell socde on apple and lilac. It also has given very prom­ising results in control of the San Jose scale, scurfy scale and th« eggs of the European red mite. As a fungicide, DN-289 has been used successfully for the control of sooty blotch on pears.The amounts of the compound required to attain good control ranges from one quart to two quarts in 100 gallons of water. Aphids are controlled -with one quart, while two quarts are needed to kill bud moths, case-bearer and the pear psylla. Heavier concentrations may be needed to control oyster ^ d l scale. Research workers are conducting extensive tests to find other in­ sects and diseases that may be con­ trolled with the chemical. Ladino Clover Produces Better if Bee-Visited Ladino clover on which bees were allowed to work freely pro­ duced 40 times as much seed as that from which bees were ex­ cluded, according to an experiment conducted by Dr. H. A. ScuHen.From 100 clover seed heads worked by bees he obtained 13,946 seeds, while from 100 heads screened against bees he got out only 365 seeds, or fewer than four seeds per head.

MAY 4. 1949 How to Get a Salary Raise f^N C E in the days when Sam Bennett was serving as acting eltjr editor oS a New York news­ paper, there was delivered into his hands a dispatch stating that Charles Schwab has just been clected president of Carnegie Steel Co. at a salary of a million dollars • year. Bennett relegated the news t« a single paragraph on page 10.When the publisher came across the buried item, he was At to be tied. "Good Lord, Bennett!" he shout­ed. •'Why didn’t you give this news ■ big play on tte front page? Don’t you idiow that a young man mak­ing a million doUart a year U • great story?” "Boss,” replied Bennett, slightly wearily, “after a salary gets over 40 dollars a week, I just don't know what to say about it.”Bennett got a raise. INEXPENSIVE ADVICE Although she had examined ev­ ery article the weary salesman had placed before her, nothing seemed to suit her requirements."No,” she said: “I’m afraid none of these things will do. You see, ' tomorrow is my husband's birth­day, and I want to give him a sur­ prise.”“I see,” said the assistant coldly, "Then why not hide behind an armchair, and suddenly cry *BooI’ at him?” Improved Cattle When a railroad first put on fast expresses, there was much trouble with ranch owners whose stock strayed onto the tracks and were killed. And, without fail, when a steer lost its life, the owner put in a claim for damages on the basis of a valuable, pure-blooded animal. In desperation the president of the railroad called in a famous attorney for consultation. The lawyer examined all the records and reported as follows: "I have come to the conclusion that nothing improves the strain of Oklahoma cattle so much as crossing them with a locomotive.” KILLED BX A WEASEL "So you lost your poor husband. I’m so sorry. How did It happen?” “He was keelt by a weasel.” "Killed by a weasel? That’s very unusual. How did it happen?” "Driving hotomobil,. commeng to railroad crossing. Deedn’t hear no weasel.” Follow the LeaderThe Bank of England has long required its employees to sign a register upon their arrival in the morning, and if they are late they must likewise record the reason thereof.

Employee Benefits '' More and more business firms of all types are providitig some sort of employee benefits. It is expected that soon firms that fail to do so will be rare. Today, more than 1,- 250,000 workers are covered by some t3T)e of health-benefit plan, an increase of some 600,000 since 1945. Health, welfare or retirement bene­ fit plans now cover 3,000,000 work­ers and the current trend is to lib­ eralize and increase the number of benefits. New Ring Idea “Companion bracelet-rings,” two rings worn on different fingers but linked with decorative chains, is a new idea created by British jewel­ry craftsmen. One of the designs links a palladium v/edding ring with a twin-shanked little-fi^er ring. Another creatioii is a delicate gold ; finfer sheath for the first finger stud- : ded with blue stones and brilliants chained to an even more elaborate band worn on the second finger.

C Our First Engineer The beaver is not only one of the most resourceful of small animals but also one of the most industrious, and in many respects most useful. The beaver is the world’s first engi­ neer, and as such, its industrial traits are valuable to man and beast. For their value as engineers, beavers often are carried to locali­ties where their kind once lived but disappeared. They are captured in large basket-like traps and trans­ported to depleted lands where beaver dams are needed. No sooner than given a new job—and they like a new undertaking — these sharp- toothed workers start gnawing down trees for dam building material. When spring rains swell the streams their dams prevent the washing away .of valuable topsoil, preserve timber supply and aid in beautifying the landscape. aave CaiSbage Leaver There are saving ways to use outer leaves of cabbage that .so often g It thrown away. They can be saved and even used in cooked cabbage dishes or cole slaw if you treat them right. Just trim away any spotted or bruised places, sprinkle with water and crisp in the hydrator or other covered pan in the refrigerator. Remember that cabbage contains a high amount of vitamin C.

We should bonor Him because he created us. He made us in bis own Imaee and likeness. "What Is man. that thou alt mindful of him; and tbe son of man, that tbou vis'ted him? For thon has made him a little lower than the aneels. and bast crowned him with elory a n d honor. (Psalm 8:4.5). Por *1>« honoi God has bestowed ut)on us we should bonor Him supremely. We should honor God for our health. What a great. blcsslne health Is! No doubt there are millionaires who would gtve all they posses If thev could buy eood bealrh with It. They con’t. Good health Is a trreat blessintr from Go'^. We sbonid honor God because He trives ns a sound mhd. Tb<s is to be appreciated more than we realize. visit some sane in. stitution and behold tbe mentallv deranged. How pitiful! Maybe manv of them failed to take care of their health, and by wrecking themselves phvsicallv thev wreck­ ed themselves mentally. We ought to honor God, love and rcverenre him for tbe right use of our mind°. We should honor God for onr homes, our business, or that whicV' brings us a livelihood. If we are In tbe right business. If home and business is not what it sho ild be, then we ought to soek God’s help and obey bis direclions. It Is our privilege to have Christian homes and engage In business wherein God can be our partner. This pleaaes God. We sbonid bonor God for onr eonntry. We live In a Bible lend We live in a land of churches, and q land where there are thousands of Christian people. Think of what It would maan to live In a country where God Is nnknown, and where ►here are no Bibles and Cbiistlar leople. and where millions bow to •'eaf, dumb Idots and worship them. Their pravers and heartcrles are not beatd; they carrv their own Snrdens; they get no relief from ♦heir sins; thev snffer In bodv, mind and .soul Their gods can’t help them. Onr God forgives onr sins when we call upon Him, sanc­ tifies and saves ns from sin, anrf orepares ns to live here and here after. We should honor Him for our souls and with our souls con. secrated fnllv un»o Him. Every, body onght to honor God, To do so brines glorious rewards, but to fail will bring a tragic conscquen-e.

No, Thanks A » INSIGNIFICANT little man ' with a melancholy moustache and watery eyes approached the circus manager. He said he had an act.“See that thousand-foot-tower? I’ll jump off of it, landing on my head on that cement block under­neath it.”"Go away,” the manager said. 'Tm too busy to bother with luna­tics.”But a few minutes later someone screamed and, looking up, he saw the man on the tower, preparing to jump.“Don’t do iti” yelled the man­ager.“This is what I mean,” came the faint answer—and a moment later the little man hurtled downward, hitting the block head first. After a moment he picked himself up, shook his head, and started to walk away.The manager ran to him and grabbed his arm. “That’s a wonder­ful act. You’re engaged.”"I’ve changed my mind.”“But you’ve got to sign!” the manager howled. “You’re sensa­tional! I’ll give you five hundred a week."“No.”“But you offered me the act! What’s the trouble?”“Well,” said the little man, rub­bing his forehead, “you see, that was the first time I ever tried it, and it gave me a bit of headache.” THOUGHTLESS Jean—Where did you get that bump on your head?John—I was serenading a girl under her window and she threw me a rose.Jean—Piffle!

[Studies show that the many trips 'around the bed, which the house- 'wife usually takes in making it, -are the reason the task is longer jand more tiresome than necessary. I At least four miles of walking I and 25 hours of time is spent a |year in making just one bed by the common household method. With Imore than one blanket on the bed, ;the distance and time is greater. ^Multiply this by the number of beds in file house to see how this job iuses time and energy!One-trip bed-making to save the ;iong trek has been suggested. The : distance can be cut from four miles a year to about a mile and a fifth and the time from 25 hours to less than 16. Briefly, the system is simply to make up one side of :the bed completely, then to tuck ;in at the foot, and then to finish the other side, with np return trips from side to side or head to foot.If the house of tomorrow is equipped for time and labor sav­ing, beds may be built for easier making. Studies show that a bed 40 to 76 inches, with mattress at wrist height, and no head or footboard or other projections over the mat­tress can be made up most rapidly. ! r;n'.-ct=r.ii Crop Anni’.al lespcdeza is a crop which can be used both for forage produc­tion and soil building. Lespedeza is usually seeded into the grain in early spring. It continues to grow after the grain has been harvested and can then be cut for hay, or left for seed which may be harvested late in the fall. Another alternative is to leave the entire crop on the land and turn it under in preparing the land for cotton. As a soil pro­tection crop, lespedeza provides cover on the land during the winter months, thus retarding erosion. It adds organic matter to the soil and, being a legume, it lessens the need for commercial nitrogen.

But it does concern oth­ers. ni nourished people are not at their best, and in this machine age they jeopardize the safety and lives of others. Children in families which start off the day with scanty or un­appetizing breakfasts are oS to a bad start for school or work. Thus continually deprived in their grow­ing years, they fail to build the stamina necessary to resist disease wd premature aging. There is no end to the ills of a people who cheat their stomachs at the first meal of the day. Facts About Pole StarThe pole star changes. Owing to an effect called precession of the equinoxes the point in the sky di­rectly over the north pole shifts in a circle among the stars. The star in tbe little dipper which we call the Pole star is merely a transient oc­cupant of that post. In the future we will have other pole stars. For example, the one called Alderamin, in the constellation of Cepheus, will be there about 7,500 A. D., and Vega, in Lyra, about 14,000 A. D. About23,000 A. D. Thuban, in Draco, will again be the pole star, as it was around 2,900 B. C., when some of the Egyptian pyramids were built.

Our County And Social Security Bv Mrs. Ruth G. Duffy, Manager. The W inston Salem field office of the Social Security Administra­ tion is one of more than 450 offi­ ces throughout the country, locat­ ed at places most convenient for workers. In our office, as in all the others, we have persons who visit regularly towns and commu nities in the era served by the of­ fice. W e in this office are hereto serve you. If you have any ques­ tions about Old-Age and Surviv­ ors Insurance, get in touch vidth us in person or by m.,il. W e will be glad to answer vour questions and to go into your individual case with you. There are two times when it is IM PORTANT for you to get in touch with this offfce. The first is when you are 65 if you have ever worked in covered employ­ ment, and by that I mean employ­ ment where you were asked for your Social Security Account No. Card, and where your employer took out 1 percent of your wages each pay day. You should do this even if you do not plan to stop work. You do not have to stop work at 65 if you don’t want to, but it is to your advantage to ask about your benefit rights when you are 65. It may be that we will advise you to file your application at once even though you continue to work. We cannot advise you about it until we talk with you. The SECOND time this office should be visited or written to is when a worker in your family dies. You should let us know a- bout the death as soon as possi­ ble, whether or not you know the person had worked long enough in covered employment for any payments to be made. It is our business to find this out for you and to tell you who can and can not get benefits, and to help you in claiming any benefits that are payable. Before we can tell you anything we must get the wage record of the person who died. W e cannot get this unless we have his or her Social Security Account Number. If you come in tu see us, bring tbe Account No. Card of the person; if you write to us, send the card which we will re­ turn to you after we get the infor­ mation we must have.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. -----------^WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS----------- Truman Signs Bill for Extension Of European Aid Another 15 Months; U. S. Launches Bond Sale Drive Lady Sheriff (EDITOB'S NOTE: When opinions are Western Newspaper Union’s news ar' Men Who Found Kathy Remembered by Mail The men who dugr for little Kathy Fiscus, 3-year old who died in a California well shaft, were being: remembered all over the nation. More than 2,200 letters tad been received by the Kathy Fis­ cus rescue fund from virtually every state in the union. Mayor Clark E. Bell, San Marino, chairman of the fund committee, said the first envelope opened contained $1,020—an average contribution of 55.10. Donations ranged from 10 cents to $50. It was pointed out that if the average continued, it would mean a total of more than 811,000 for the men who worked for 53 hours to reach the child who fell to her death 92 feet flo-,vn tlie well pipe. AID BILL: Has Truman Okay ^ A bill to give 5.58 billion dollars to the European recovery program over the next 15 months— with one billion available at once—was signed by President Truman. MR. TRUMAN, as is a quaint capital custom in such maters, signed the bill with several pens— eight, in fact. Even Mr. Truman, htoseU, was moved to observe jest­ ingly that “this will probably look like a forgery, but it really isn’t.” The bill which Mr. Truman signed allots more than one-eighth of the entire budget of the United States to foreign aid. Mr. Truman, ever a meticulous man, carefully wiped the points of the pens, handed one each to seven witnesses to the signing, and kept one for Sen. Arthur Vandenberg, who was unable to attend. THERE WAS a check and bal­ance in the bill, however. With the billion dollars to be made available at once, aid could be kept flowing to the Marshall plan countries of western Europe until congress votes the rest of the cash later. CHURCHMEN: UN Asks Facts The United Nations wasn’t heed­ing protests of Hxmgary and Bul­ garia against its consideration of 5ie trials of Cardinal Mindszenty and Protestant churchmen. Instead, the UN invited the two Soviet satellite countries to tell their stories of the imprisonment of the Cardinal and other clergymeni THE RUSSIAN delegation indi­ cated the two nations would disre­gard the invitation, since both Hun­ gary and Bulgaria have contended the trials were internal matters and no business of the UN. Tho world organization, however, voted 30 to 7 to put the church cases on its agenda and to go on with a full discussion of them. U. S. delegate Benjamin V. Cohen argued the committee should delay inviting any nations or churches to send spokesmen until it decides how it wants to deal with the ques­ tion. Russia’s Jacob A. Malik indi­cated the two Russian satellites would reject such an invitation and accused Bolivia of violating the UN charter by seeking to invite re­ligious organizations. To the casual observer, the entire matter was even less than a tem­ pest in a tea pot. Whatever the UN might find as a result of rehashing the convictions of the churchmen— what could UN do about it? The force of UN in world peace reten­ tion efforts has been so meager as to cause critics to begin comparing it already with the old League of Nations which died of impotency. tssed in these columns, they are those « and not necessarily of this newspaper.' BOND DRIVE: Plan for Security Kick-off speaker at the opening of the “Opportunity Bond Drive,” in which the government hopes to sell one billion, 40 million dollars worth of U. S. savings bonds to its people. President Truman keyed his remarks to the need for nation­al security. HE PICTURED the bond drive as providing another opportunity for purchasers to assure security for themselves and their country. Among other things, tlie President said: “We know that we cannot have a sound and secure nation vmless se­curity is the common possession of our people. Farmer, factory work­ er, banker, merchant, school teach­er, housewife—all are buying se­ curity for themselves and each other when they buy savings bonds.” He added that, “every bond they have bought has given them much more reason to feel secure about the future—^their own and their country’s.” THE PRESIDENT said the kick- off dinner was to honor three mil­ lion volunteers in the bond sales program, and declared they would be joined by another 250,000 news­ boys who would “ring the nation’s doorbells, bringing the message of the Opportunity Bond Drive into 12 million American homes. Top question plaguing bond offi­cials was the recession in employ­ ment, lower prices and less con­sumer cash interfering with the bond drive’s reaching its goal. OASI COST: In Billions American taxpayers in covered employment would have to dig into their pockets to the tune of 3.75 billion dollars by 1955 to finance old age and survivors insurance under the proposals advanced by Presi­ dent Truman and his administra­tion. BY THE YEAR 2,000—when the program is expected to hit its peak —the proposed cost would have mounted to approximately 13 bil­ lion dollars. This estimate, made by the Re­search Council for Economic Se­ curity, Chicago, is based on a re­port from the advisory council on social security to tlie 80th congress.Of a labor force of over 60 mil­ lion, OASI now covers about 35 million, or roughly three out of five jobs. Coverage is now limited to persons employed in industry and commerce. It is proposed that the system be extended to cover the entire labor force. In presenting both sides of the question, the council’s report in­ cludes a full page of pros and cons. Each side might be summarized as follows: ON THE ONE HAND, if em­ployees of commerce and industry are entitled to this protection, why not employees on the farm and in the household? If the goal of the system is to provide even a mini­mum of subsistence, benefits must be raised now to keep in step with living costs. An adequate OASI system will reduce substantially the heavy burden of old age assistance. On the other hand, opponents of the proposed extension point out that of those excluded, the majority are either protected by other systems or are able to provide for themselves, while the lowest in­ come classes are employed too irregularly to earn insured status under any program. If the cost of living is a valid reason for raising benefits now, then logically the whole system should be geared to the cost of living, fluctuating down as well as up. The bigger the system, the better the promises of bigger and better pensions.

Rurat Housing Off According to Senator Fear (D., Del.) some of the nation’s worst housing conditions still exist in rural areas—a conclusion familiar already to many, many Americans. The senator’s statement was made during a hearing by a senate com­ mittee on the multi-billion-doUar housing bill pending in congress. There has been little talk of rural needs in discussion of the housing problem to date, although that need is as pressing, almost, as any other Mrs. Barkley Graham, weigh­ ing only 95 pounds, has become the first woman sheriff of Mc­ Cracken county, Kentucky, birth place of Vice-President Alben W. Barkley. She succeeded her hus­ band who resigned to become Pa­ ducah’s chief of police. FARM SURPLUS: May Hasten Subsidy The administration’s farm ex­ perts weren’t being too subtle in a movement to hasten payment of direct subsidies to farmers. They were pointing out in the capital that an over-supply of pork and milk expected within the next two months, may require President Truman to ask immediate authority for such action. SECRETARY of Agriculture Brannan said he already had dis­cussed such a proposal .with the President. At the present time the government is committed to sup­port prices of those commodities by buying any surplus and taking it off the market. This is supposed to keep the retail price up. Farm legislation passed by the 80th congress authorized direct pay­ ments to farmers for pork and milk, but this law does not go into effect until January 1, 1950. Meanwhile, the agriciilture secre­ tary said consumer prices on pork and milk probably 'would fall if the administration was allowed to make direct subsidy pajrments to produc­ ers. DESPITE much sentiment to the contrary, Brannan said his depart­ment has had a “quite favorable” reaction to the proposed farm pro­gram which, briefly, would let farm products find their own price level through supply and demand, with the government paying the farmer the difference in this and the sup­ port price in cash. Congressional critics of the farm program declare its cost will run into billions of dollars and that it will benefit neither the farmer nor the taxpayer, because, in the end, the farmer and the taxpayer will be paying additional taxes to finance the program. CANCER: Progress Seen The men in white who wage an unceasing battle against cancer caught a glimmer of hope — they felt sure they had discovered, as they put it, “what is for aU prac­ tical purposes a simple, cheap and reasonably sure blood test for can­cer.” T H E ANNOUNCEMENT w as made with the customary caution and restraint of the men who work with test tubes—“reasonably sure” was how they described the test. But if they had made such a dis­covery, it was a great stride for­ ward toward victory over the terri­ble disease. According to the announcement, comparative studies at the Uni­versity of Chicago of the blood serum of cancer patients and nor­ mal and other non-cancerous indi­ viduals had revealed significant differences that led to the state­ ment of the new cancer blood test. Report of the university findings was made by Professor Charles B. Huggins, who 10 years ago origi­ nated a new treatment for pros­tatic cancer which has kept more than 25 per cent of the victims alive and well for more than eight years. DISCUSSING the new test, he said that tests on almost 300 indi­ viduals—equally divided into cancer patients, apparently healthy per­ sons, and patients with non-cancer­ ous diseases—proved positive for aU cancer cases, negative for all normal persons and negative for all other tested, except those with lung tuberculosis and massive acute infections. Inasmuch as tuberculosis and in­flammatory processes can be read­ ily diagnosed, it was explained, the test was not expected to confound cancer with other conditions. KIWI: Rare Chick Nature lovers in New Zealand rejoiced. A sturdy male kiwi chick was hatched at the Hawke’s Bay g;<me farm, bringing to six the only known existing family of this noc­ turnal, flightless bird which was thought to be extinct until a few years ago. The male bird spent 81 days on the latest egg before the newcomer burst through the thick shell. MIRROR Of Your MIND I ^ ^ V erbal M u sin g N o t D angerous By Lawrence Gould Is talking to yourself a sign of menial illness? Answer: Only if you think some one is listening. A person may talk to himseU, even out loud, for the purpose of reducing his ideas to words so as to make them clearer, and the practice has been advo­cated as a way of learning how to speak in public. But the fact that : certain types of mental patients jwho live in a dream world are apt to be unaware of their sur- 'roimdings may lead them not only to talk to themselves when they are not alone, but to hold ani­mated conversations with people who exist only in their sick imag­inations. Can physical disease change your personality? Answer: Never entirely, says Dr. Kurt Schneider of the University of Heidelberg. Even when brain injury or poisoning results in in­ sanity, the symptoms will depend to some extent upon the patient’s character and mental constitution, and especially upon “his reaction to the experience of being ill.” No matter what happens to you, mentally or physically, its effects will be influenced by the sort of person you are, and nothing can make your mind or personality exactly like anybody else’s. You’ll always be YOU. Is intelligence inherited from parents? Answer: Not to any extent wi> can count on. The noted authority on genius. Dr. Lewis M. Terman, has followed the histories of near­ ly 1500 “gifted” children to age 35, and says 30 per cent of their offspring show superior intelli­ gence, but how far this may be the result of better education and contact with brilliant adults, no one can prove. Students of heredity believe that high intelligence may be due to a fortunate combination of the “genes” inherited from many ancestors, but just having clever parents does not guarantee it. LOOKING AT RELIGION By D O N M O O R E K E E P IN G H E A LT H Y Nervous Symptoms end Xhrosiic Diseases' By Dr. James W. Barton rP IS generally agreed that about one-half of all patients who con­ sult their physicians have no real physical or organic disease, but have symptoms which are the same or very similar to those present in organic disease. In all cases, the physician, after making a thorough examination, is able to tell the patient that an organic disease is or is not present. If not present, he is able to ex­ plain to the patient why the symp­toms of organic disease are present. It is because of the nervous make­up of the patient. I am speaking of the general run of patients who consult a physician.It is interesting to learn of a group of patients, all of whom are “chronics”—that is, have been un­ der the care of physicians for a long time.In the “Journal of the American Medical Association,” Drs. Frank N. Allan and Manual Kaufman of the Lahey clinic in Boston, report their analysis of the mental, ne« vous and emotional factors in 1,000 unselected cases, in which the patients had to come to the Lahey clinic for a general medical exami­ nation. They were all chronic cases.In 594 of the 1,000 cases, some physical iUness was causing the symptoms; there was no real ner­vous or emotional problem present that could be the cause or even a partial cause. In 272 cases the com­plaints or symptoms were entirely due to nervousness or emotional disturbances. In 134 cases a com­ bination of physical disorder and “significant” nervous and emotion­al disturbances was causing the symptoms.These physicians remind us that any illness involves a certain amount of nervous or mental dis­ turbance. The patient wonders what is wrong, what the outcome may be. The degree of nervousness de­ pends upon the make-up of the patient. HEALTH NOTES Most of us have always thought that while slenderness of body was often associated with allergy, as people were “bom” that way, there was nothing that could be done about it. It is indeed gratifying to know that if allergic children are protected as suggested, it means a more satisfactory growth and de­ velopment of the body. Today, the medical profession re­ gards alcoholism as a disease which has its causes, symptoms and meth­ ods of treatment, as have other dis­ eases. Quite frequently alcoholism is the result of poor and unsatisfactory emotional and other life habits. Sometimes it has caused actual changes in the structure of the brain tissue (organic disease). Recess Is Refresher TNESPITE TALK about the boys ^ “needing a rest,” real story behind the 10-day Easter recess of the house was that Speaker Sam Rayburn and majority leader John McCormack sent their charges home for a “refresher” course. Raybmn and McCormack were chiefly concerned over another G. O. P. Dixie coalition against re­ peal of the Taft-Hartley labor law, and they thought some elbow-rub­bing with the folks at home might be the best preventive. The strat­ egy applies to Republicans from industrial districts as well as Demo­ crats.Meantime, local AFL and CIO leaders were planning to give the returning politicos a stiff ■ workout during the 10-day “vacation.”Rayburn and McCormack are keenly aware that the Taft-Hartley vote will be a crucial test they can’t afford to lose, if they are to keep northern city Democrats in Ime on other administration measures. Ever since the G. O. P.-Dixie coal­ition against rent control, there has been talk of a northern “revolt,” or a coalition-in-reverse, in which northern Democrats would gang up with Republicans to block southern farm bills. Rumbles of Revolt At a dinner meeting with North and South freshmen Democrats last week, Rayburn and McCormack heard increasing rumbles of “re­ taliation” against southern coali­ tionists. This wasn’t all cloakroom whispers. Quite a number of big- city Democrats, who believe in carrying out Truman campaign promises, have spoken out openly. Among them are freshmen Democrats Anthony Taueriello of Buffalo, N. r ., and Earl Wagner of Cincinnati, who angrily told McCormack the time had come to “stop ap­ peasing and start hitting back” at southern opponents of the Fair Deal program.“I’ve had enough,” bluntly as­ serted Tauriello. “I was elected on the Truman program, and I believe in the whole program. I’m tired of seeing the program delayed and undermined by members of my own party. A lot of us think it’s time to start retaliating.” At the dinner, Rayburn and Mc­ Cormack made strong pleas for harmony. Since then the grumbling has somewhat subsided. G.O.P. Hope Oregon’s bush 'y-browed Sen. Wayne Morse, considered a black sheep by old guard Republicans, nevertheless has a strong though secret following in congress. This group not only takes its political cues from Morse, but is quietly boosting him for tlie vice-presidency in 1952. He is the only Republican, they feel, who can take votes away from the Democrats in their greatest stronghold—labor. Leaders of the Morse movement include such congressmen as Jolm Phillips of California, H. R. Gross of Iowa and James Golden of Ken­ tucky—aU progressive Republicans. Morse, himself, didn’t learn of their support until he was invited to talk off-the-record the other day before a gathering of about 20 Republican congressmen. With characteristic bluntness, Morse tore into the ills of the Re­ publican party. “I speak only of the senate,” he declared, “but in the sen­ ate, we have a few who hold policy meetings. The rest of iis read about it next mornin; in the papers and are called to­ gether at 10 o’clock to conTIrm it.” He accused G. O. P. leaders in congress of playing turtle during the last election. “It wasn’t Dewey’s job to defend the 80th congress,” said Morse. “It was up to our top leaders in con­ gress. A lot of them suffered political laryngitis.” As for the G. 0. P. stand on labor, Morse snorted: “We’ve got an anti­ labor label on our party, and we’U keep it until we liberalize the Taft- Hartley law. Barklex Humor Vice President Alben Barkley brought down the house with this story at President Truman’s “har­ mony” dinner with freshmen con­ gressional Democrats. Here is the Barkley story: A minister sermonizing to his flock on the virtues of friend­ ship inquired if there were any members of the congregation who could honestly say they had no enemies. An aged man with a long beard arose in the rear of the church. “Ah, I am glad to see that there is at least one among us who can answer my question,” beamed the minister. “How old are you, sir?” “One hundred and four years.” “That’s truly remarkable,” said the reverend. “Do you mind telling us how you have managed to be without enemies in such a long life span?” “Because," said the old man, “I outlived them all.” ■ ¥ tiir aian I to : W Cl] he ] cap is titli N*.of To '•>oys |i! story roccss Ikcr Sam |;rr John ■:;nrt;OS Ir.-:'. . wcra rc- :■ !n\v. ■'.'-rub- ;n;-ht t- ''CT'V> Tin -ve N ovth - -'ClV.tS 1'^, •'f ‘‘re- ■ coaU- ':;!:rocin c: big- -■ove in fampni^n■-pen:;-.

Thus the machine helped to pro­vide the thousands of “bombs” ol baled hay with which fliers saved the lives of starving cattle in a great rescue operation.

While the average farmer loiows the value of a garden and always sees to it that he has ample garden planted to run his family through the year, there are stiU some men who glean their living from the soil who don’t bother to plant a garden.The aim in gardening, at all, is to supply the household with vegeta­ bles—summer and winter; and the farmer who does this is always re­ paid not only with money saved and convenience of having supply imme­diately at hand, but also by the nourishing value of home-processed foods. As family sizes and needs vary as much as individual tastes, the gar­ den should be as variable as any­ thing could be. Thus a garden be­comes such an individual matter that the seed list for each must be individually worked out.However there is a principle in­ volved that is general and that is “planning.” Here is an example:The tomato is among the most versatile of vegetables to prepare for tlie table and returns the most for the garden space occupied. So, there must be tomatoes. Properly handled, harvesting may start July 1 and tomatoes may be had fresh imtil several weeks after frost, or for about 120 days. At one and one- half servings a day, the fresh to­ mato amount should be about three and one-haU bushels, as a serving for five persons is &at needed to can a quart, a bushel canning 17 quarts. For the remaining 245 days, the tomatoes must come from cans and, allowing two servings weekly, 70 quarts are needed, or five bushels more. The total becomes eight and one-half bushels, or 510 pounds. A correctly-tended plant yields 10 pounds and 50 plants are needed. Of these, 15 should be early (Break O’Day), and 35 late (Rutgers). Other crops may be worked out as carefuUy based on family likes. New Variety of Alfalfa Officially Named Talent The promising alfalfa variety known as French alfalfa in south­ern Oregon variety trials has been officially named Talent alfalfa by the Oregon state college experi­ ment station committee on new crop varieties, and seed increases are now underway to insure early commercial release of the variety.Talent was selected as the name In honor of the community where trials were conducted. M§ ^ ^ iy^ijnn : d Sclect Seasoning to Suit Meat(See Recipes Below) Meat Tricks •p H E FIELD of seasonings, * especially as applied to meat cookery, is a wide and interesting one. If you want to have fun with cook­ing, and serve the family foods with fine fla­vor, follow some of the tips given here; then, go further and do some ex­ perimenting on your own. Certain seasonings are ideal for different cuts of meat. For mild cuts of meat such as veal and lamb, the seasoning may be a little sharper than those used for beef. Spicy seasonings are favored for pork.• « « SOUR CREAM has long been a favorite with veal. When com­ bined with a dill pickle relish and served vrith steaming hot egg noodles, veal can indeed be a treat. Veal In Dill Sour Cream (Serves 4) 1 tablespoon salt 3 qnarts boiling water 6 ounces egg noodles 1 pound veal, cut thin, from leg 4 tablespoons butter or sub­ stitute. 1 tablespoon flour ^ teaspoon salta teaspoon pepper 4 tablespoons dill pickle rel­ ish m cups sour cream To cook egg noodles, add salt to boiling water and gradually add egg noodles. Do not let water stop boiling. Stir occasionally with a pancake turner. Boil rapidly about nine minutes, tuitil tender. Drain thoroughly.Have butcher cut veal %-inch thick. Dredge in flour and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Melt butter in skillet; add veal and saute until golden brown. Cover and cook un­ til tender. Remove from pan; keep warm in oven. Add two teaspoons flour to the drippings, blend well. Gradually stir in sour cream, pickle relish, salt and pepper. To serve, arrange veal in center of platter and surround with buttered egg noodles.• « • La m b b r e a s t is among the more economical c-uts of meat, but it’s a real favorite when prepared with barbecue sauce: Barbecued Iiamb Breast (Serves 4) 2 pounds lamb breast 1 medium onion, sliced H cup chili sauce 1 teaspoon salt Pepper % teaspoon red pepper 1 tablespoon vinegar Z tablespoons brown sngar 1 cup water X^it lamb into five pieces.

A low tempera­ture is used in baking so the meat wiU be properly tender. Tomato Steak (Serves 6-8) 3 pounds round steak, cut 2 inches thick 3 tablespoons fat 1 pint tomatoes2 carrots 1 large onion1 turnip 2 cloves 3 bay leaves 2 teaspoons salt Vs teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons flour 2 tablespoons water Score the steak by slashing with, a sharp knife.

Apples and raisins are tucked in-, to a sage-seasoned dressing for roast pork. •Stuffed Shoulder of Pork 1 4-5 pound pork shoulder 1 cup bread crumbs a cup raisins 1 egg, beaten2 tablespoons butter Vi teaspoon salt Dash of pepper 1 grated onion Have the butcher cut a pocket in a shoulder of pork, from which the blade has been removed. Make th e dressing as follows: Mix ingredients in order given and fill the pocket. Skewer or tie with coarse string. Rub the roasting pan lightly with a clove of garlic, if desired, and dust the pork shoulder with salt and pepper and paprika. Place in a 350* oven and cook two and one-half to three hours.• « • Liv e r h a s Uttle fat of its own. so bacon and pork are used with it to provide juices for cooking it. Here’s an unusual way to prepare liver that’s certain to be a favorite: Liver Rolls Have desired number of slices of calves’ or beef liver cut in one- fourth inch slices. Sprmkle with fine bread crumbs and spread with a mixture of sauteed onions, celery and chopped parsley. In the center of each slice, place a finger- length piece of salt pork. RoU each slice tight­ ly and tie or skewer togeth* er. Dust with salt and pepper and roll in flour. Place in a baking pan to which a small amount ol water mixed with bacon drippings has been added. To keep yolks from which the whites have been used, place in a cup of water to prevent a hard crust from forming. Store in the refrigerator. Never beat mufifin or pancake mixtures too thoroughly. Slight lumps should be left in the batter so the finished product will be really tender.When heating iced rolls place in the oven in a paper sack or in a heavy skillet on top of the range. Do not sprinkle with water since this may melt the icing. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT SSXESS & IXVES I . OPPOR. ISAIIGAI.N.

MAY SOOTHE MANY A TROUBLED CONSCIENCE MEBICHEMDTHEDEEBY Chiiichill Downs, one of the old­ est race tracks in the land, it is announced, is to be run for the benefit of the Louisville medical college. The Kentuclsy Derby has left many a man sick at the finish, but this is the first time anybody at the track thought of doing some­ thing about doctors. By H. I. The track is run by the famous Colonel Matt Winn, always a man in green, seldom a man in the red and now for the first time appear­ ing as something of a Man in \A^te. Xb« colonel is a smart, color­ful racing genius, but up to now had not been associated with a bedside manner and a stethoscope. If you saw liim PHILLIPS with a little black bag in hand you were under no illusion it held pills, capsules or oint­ments. It has never been recorded that he was coupled in the betting with “Dr. Kildare.” Observing him as he watched the crowds pour into the Downs for the Derby, we never got the impression he was thinking about what to do for the medical profession rather than what to do for Churchill Downs. However,'it will be strictly O. K. to see horse racing advancing the cause of humanity. It will be a great conscience soother for Der­ by addicts. Their alibi for the long trip and the Derby hysteria can now be, "Can I help it if I want to see ambitious medical students get a chance?” He will feel better coming back from the Derby, too. If his bangtail finishes out of the money, he will have the satis­ faction of realizing that Louis­ ville Medical college (by Matt Winu-Ballyhoo) “finished strong and will bear watching.” We can picture the wide in­ fluence of the school of medicine on the Derby, and vice versa. Churchill Downs will probably be redecorated in white enamel, with a nurse at every mutuels window and an intern in the hot dog stands. Fans w in have their temperatures taken before and after photo fin­ ishes, stethoscopes will be used to detect suppressed tips. There wiU be special windows where fans may get a sedative. And if his inside information proves cold, there will be heat treatments on the mezzanine. “Ladies and gentlemen,” we can hear the track announcer say, “the horses are on their way to the post to advance the cause of medicine and correct diagnosis. Tou have only five minutes in which to help a stu­ dent get through college.” Similarly, Louisville medical col-! lege professors will be allotted of­ficial colors or “silks,” classes be opened with “Boots and Saddles” and on the day of exams there will be a morning line and late scratches. 3y DR, KENNETH J.

By INEZ GERHARD WHEN Eagle-Lion films decided to hold the premiere of “Tulsa” in Tulsa, Okla., they had no idea that Oklahomans would cooperate so magnificently. Gov. Pioy Turner proclaimed a holiday and royally entertained members of the press whom Eagle-Lion flew from both coasts for the occasion. Walter Wanger brought “Tulsa’s” stars— Susan Hayward, Robert Preston, Susan Kayward ChiU Wills and Jess Barker, to town; 50 mayors from all over the state were on hand to join in the festivities, which lasted for a day and a half. As for the picture, it is fine entertainment, with an oU-well fire that sets an all-time high for similar screen spectacles. Tv.’o top Warners stars began their careers similarly, by dying. Errol Flynn did it in “The Case of the Curious Bride,” has been killing other people ' in films ever since. Zachary Scott died in his first film, “The Mask of Dimitrios,” has been the victim in eight out of 11 pictures since then, gets driven to suicide in his latest, "Flamingo Road.” Ileuniting Fred Astaire and ■ Ginscr Rogers for tl?cir ICth picture in M-G-M’s “Ihe Barlt- leys of Broatlw.ay” proved so successful that they will co-star in another musical, as yet un­ titled, which is now being writ­ ten for them. Bill Conrad, the “voice” of CBS’ “Escape” series, is a fine actor, but looks like something out of a grab bag; usually wears a sack- lilce pair of slacks, a -T-shirt, sneak­ers and an old leather jacket. He wears that array on “Suspense.” also when reporting to the picture studios: he was in “The Killer*,” “Body and Soul,” “To the Victors” and “Sorry, Wrong Number.” Fiction STRICTLY ANALYTICAL By Richard H. Wilkinson Th e TROUBLE with you,” Barry said, “is that you’re too ana- 1341031. Why don’t you throw caution to the wind for once and marry the gurl?”Hugh sighed. His face took on that look of faintly aloof indulgence ______________ that he always 3 conjured when- Minute Barry became Fiction critical. “You wouldn’t under- stand,” he said. “You’re too impulsive to see what I’m driving at. Let me tell you, it pays to be carefuL” "Sure It does. But it doesn’t pay to be overly careful. How does Valeria feel about it?”“How docs she feel? How do you think she feels? When a girl’s in love she knows enough to be careful fc«rself.” “Meaning of course, that Val’s mad about you and she’s willing to wait until you get through analyzing and justify or compensate her shortcomings in your mind.”Hugh gestured indifferently. “Fig­ ure it that.way, if you like.” “Wouldn’t it be a shock to you if you discovered yourself to be wrong. I mean, if Val married someone else right under your nose.”“She won’t.” said Hugh confi­ dently. “Girls aren’t made that way.” He stood up. “I haven’t been studying psychology and human be­havior five years for nothing.” “But is she gets tired of waiting and marries some one else in the meantime, maybe you’ll regret it.” “Don’t be ridiciUous. Val won’t marry anyone else. I know what I’m doing.” Barry let a fortnight elapse before he again broached the subject of Val. It rankled him, and he felt better to get it off his chest. “Hate to mention it again, Hugh, but Val seems to thinic you’ve been neglecting her lately. Can’t blame her much, either.” “Cut it!” Hugh looked ugly. “I think you’d better let me tend to my oAvn affairs, Barry. The girl loves me and when I get around to it. I’ll marry her. Goodness, can’t you understand that a man shouldn’t jump into such things!”“Or a woman either,” Barry of­ fered. “I happen to know Val was out with someone last night.” “Good. Comparing the someone else with me will be the best thing in the world for her—and me too.” Hugh was annoyed. Blast it, why couldn’t Barry mind his own busi­ness? Why did he always have to keep worrying about Val. It was plain as day that he didn’t imder- staijd v/omen. Val knew a good thing when she saw it. She loved him and was willing to wait. She was smart. VAGUELY HE wondered who the other man could be she was out with. It was sort of amusing in a way. Probably Val had merely told Barry that so Barry would tell him. Childish. Why, even a first- year psychology student could tell you that was nothing but a feeble attempt on the part of the female to excite jealousy in the man she loved. Three evenings later Hugh’s phone rang. It was Barry. He sounded far away. "Can’t hear you.” Hugh yelled into the mouthpiece. “Talk louder.” “I say,” came Barrys voice, more distinctly, "that the thing I warned you about has happened.” "What thing?” said Hugh. “About Val. About her marrying someone else right under your nose. She’s done it." “I don’t believe it,” said Hugh, feeling for the first time a queer sensation of alarm. “I saw it happen,” said Barry, “I was there.”“Good lord!” Hugh was suddenly very much excited and very con­cerned. "You can’t say I didn’t warn you,” Barry’s voice said, growing fauiter. “Hey! Hold on a minute, Barry! Are you there! . . . Yes, yes, I know you warned me. Guess I was something of a fool. Who was it she married? This is terrible!”“Me,” said Barry, very faintly And then the line went dead.

Now if the reader could interview one leading Bible expert from each of these 40 denominations, and ask each one or. Foreman the same question: “In your personal opinion, exactly what is the meaning of Mark 13?” you might not get 40 different an­ swers, but you certainly would get more than one. There is no chapter in the Bible that has been the subject of more arguments than this one, ond no arguments have ever been more useless than these. Leaving extreme views aside, let us try to discover some meanings which all 40 denominations would find in this chapter, some truths on which all reasonable Christians can agree.* • » A Certain Fact TN JESUS’ view one thing is cer- tain: God’s judgment on this world and on all persons in it. Christian churches have different ideas about what happens after death. We have different ideas about how the judgment is to be carried out, or where it wiU be held, or when. But that every man will have to give account of him­ self before God is something Christ­ians believe. Your true unbeliever is not the person who goes around saying there is no God. A more subtle and dangerous form of unbelief is In the person who takes the Christian creed upon his lips but lives as if the creed were a lie. He repeats the Apostles’ Creed: “From thence he shaU come to judge the quick and the dead.” If those words are sincerely spoken, the believer wUl lonestly try to please God obove aU others. But the unbeliever, whatever his words may say, shows that he does not believe by the fact that he tries to please, first of all, either him­ self or his family or Jiis neighbors, and not God above all. An Uncertain Time JT IS ONLY children who think ^ that if something doesn’t hap­ pen N o w , it will never happen. Now and nev^er are not the only times on God’s clock. When will the judg­ ment be? The disciples wanted to know, but Jesus did not tell them. He did not claim to know, himself, when it would be (Mark 13:32.) What he did say was. Watch! There is a sense in which God’s judg­ ments are going on all the time. The end of your world wiU come in your own lifetime, whoever you are; for there is not much differ­ ence whether the world folds up and leaves you or whether you fold up and leave the world. Death is the end of the world for every one who dies. Fur­ ther, whenever a person suf­fers by and because of his own wrong-doing, here in this liife and on this earth, God is judg­ ing him by the eternal moral •laws which are the very warp and filling of the fabric of life. There is also a sense in which God judges societies and nations.. We have recently seen how ter­ rible a judgment Germany drew down on its head. The nation that takes the sword shaU perish by the sword. The nation that sets out to enslave others by force wiU come under the same death-sen- tence that cut down Assyria and Rome and Japan and Germany. But , not all God’s judgments are on this | earth. “God does not settle all his accounts in October.” There is a final accounting, and no man, in this life or any other, can escape that solemn meeting with God. • * • The Only Judge r'O THINGS are sure. One is that the only true judge of any man is God. The man himself is partial, his friends are partial, his enemies are prejudiced, against him. Further, no one knows all the facts but God. Only God knows what a man’s motives are; only God can trace to their final end oil the consequenses that flow from a man’s act.

V ever this nation needed an .•conomjr-ininded Congress, it is now. The cost <rf government has shot up all out of sight. Current high costs of government represent more than just dollar inflation. What we have had, without clearly realizing it, is a boom in government. Tliis boom has flourished until there is danger of collapse from, the very size of the superstructure itself. Our ship of state is indeed top- heavy.Lumping all government together —federal, state, local—tax collec­tions for the 1948 fiscal year came to 26 per cent of the national in­come. Perhaps you can see it bet­ ter if we should divide up that $55.2 billion of tax collections to find what was your part. It amounts to $377 for each man, woman, and cliild in the nation. You didn't pay that much? Brother, your share was tucked away in the price of every­thing you spent your money for! Government Unlimited?You can see how much taxes have grown, if you compare the above figures with those for 1940. Then tax collections were $14.4 billion, or 18.9 per cent of national income. The amount for each person in 1940 was only $109. In eight years, there­fore, we have more than tripled our taxes. A lot of it results from the war. We’re spending a lot in Eu­rope, certainly. But let us not use that as an excuse for lack of vigi­lance about the rest of it. We are inclined to justify boom government and resulting high taxes in a number of strange ways. In depression times, we call for more and more spending. That means taxes, but we put them off until later. Then in time of plenty, we think up more things that gov­ ernment can do “better” for us, feeling sure that we can afford it. At the same time, we ignore war­ time debt and forget that we ever did any “deficit” spending! Must we dedicate ourselves to unlimited government?Voters Are Taxpayers Knowing that “power to tax is power to destroy,” the founding fa-, thers placed tax power upon Con­gress. This power was not meant to be abused. Citizens then were aware that government was meant to serve them, not they to serve the government. That is the \dewpoint of taxpayers.But times have changed. Nowa­days American voters (though they be taxpayers to the tune of billions) look upon themselves first as receiv­ ers of government benefits, last as payers of tax. Our federal govern­ ment is now making payments di­rect to 15,830,899 persons. Some of these are necessary. But too many of us, far too many for the good of the nation, have a personal inter­est in seeing government expendi­tures continue. Will any of these 16 million bite the hand that feeds them?You see, this is the way we our­selves can undermine the corner­stone of freedom. Almost without knowing it, we have created a huge central government, then given it power to perpetuate itself. If big government can minimize the dan­gers of entrenched bureaucracy, keep public waste and extravagance out of sight, and go on taxing—then this thing will continue regardless of the party in power. When big government sells people on the idea of lavish handouts which they them­ selves pay for by high taxes, you can call this bribing people with their own money!

He knows oiBcial reports show it costs $7. more a nionth to keep a family in a public housing unit tlian it costs to rent an aver­ age privately owned apartment or house in this country for that same family.Why not, says Sylvester,—you can’t add the payrolls for 17,000 government housing agency em­ployees to construction costs and get a cheaper house. I Sylvester Says: “Lined up, wall to wall, homes built last year would reach father than from New York to San Francisco to half way to Honolulu in the Pacific.” A U. S. Government survey of the housing situation reveals that the home building industry last year constructed more new homes in less time than were ever con­structed in any country. Over 950,000 homes were built during 1948. FINE y^ATCH REPAiRIhG Y O U R W ATCH IS A PRECIOUS INSTRUMENT. W hy not buy the best in material and workmanship when you have them repaired.

C Our Pirst Engineer The beaver is not only one of the most resourceful of small animals but also one of the most industrious, and in many respects most useful. The beaver is the world’s first engi­neer, and as such, its industrial traits are valuable to man and beast. For their value as engineers, beavers often are carried to locali­ties where their kind once lived but disappeared. They are captured in large basket-like traps and trans­ported to depleted lands where beaver dams are needed. No sooner than given a new job—and they like a new undertaking — these sharp- toothed workers start gnawing down trees tor dam building material. When spring rains swell the streams their dams prevent the washing away of valuable topsoil, preserve timber supply and aid in beautifying the landscape Sylvester Says: “Excuse me! But someone just took a quarter out of your pocket.” In fact, Uncle Sam (national income and tax tables show) takes more than a quarter out of your pocket every time you earn a dollar. If the government spends new billions for public housing; more billions for public medical care; ad­ ditional billions for the unemploy­ed; more billions for maintaining farm product prices; and other millions to subsidize education in public schools—then, will the hand in your pocket take 75<s in taxes and leave only a quarter out of each dollar you earn?

Deer, Barometer of Suit The weight of deer reflpcts the condition of the country 1bey live ;ln, weight records of 10,000 deer col­lected by the Wisconsin conserva- 'tion department during the last dec- :ade show. The records show that ■deer average Ughter in weight in central than in northern Wisconsin, Ibelieved to reflect the poorer soil iconditions of central Wisconsin. Av­ erage deer weights show a gradual decrease over the last 10 years on 'ranges characterized as poor while on ranges listed as good, deer weights do not show the downward itrend. In all cases the deer were 'weighed after being dressed out. The department listed the deer ac­ cording to the type of range they 'came from and it was found that deer from the good ranges out- 'weighed the deer from the poor ranges. Laughing Gas in Atmosphere Laughing gas, an anesthetic wide­ly used by dentists to put their pa­ tients to sleep, has been found in the atmosphere, R. L. Slohod and Mil­ ton E. Krogh of Dallas, Texas, an­ nounced at meeting Southwest of &e American Chemical society. The gas, known to chemists as nitrous oxide, or N,0, makes up only one part in two million of air, the report stated, explaining that examination of sunlight with the spectroscope had previously suggested the pres­ ence of nitrous oxide in the earth’s atmosphere. Laughing gas is col­ orless and has a sweet odor. A whiS will make a man giggle, and more will put him to sleep.

This ill-favoured old gen­ tleman is the second Count Ferdi­ nand, who lived in the early part ;of the 16th century and was nick­ named the Miser. This is the Lady Jopelyn, early 17th century. She is said to have died from hloc^-poison- ing caused by a scratch in the face from a starving peasant woman to whom she refused to give a crust of bread. And, lastly, this is the port­rait of -the Countess Asolanda who was murdered because of her avarice.

Pointers for Baby Sitter And for Parents Outlined Baby sitting can be a career. That is the opening statement in a circidar, published by the exten­sion service at the University of .Maryland, which outlines sugges­ tions for both the sitter and em­ ploying mother.Know what time you are to ar­rive, only iUness should cause a ; break in the engagement, it is a Ijob not a date, don’t raid the ice- ibox, and know how and what to Ifeed the baby or child, are a few :of the hints offered for the sitter’s ;consideration. Equally pointed i statements are called to the par- ;«rts’ attention; get back cn time, larrange for suitable pay, escort the ;sitter home, give adequate instruc- :tions, and have the home situation iunder control when the sitter ar­ rives.Also featured is a bsby sittmg safety record chart on which the >itter and the mother can check 20 items to be guarded against and a list of recommended reading on child care is included for the sit­ ter’s study. The bulletin summar­ izes some of the advantages of a baby sitting career by saying, “Be­ sides giving the community a serv­ ice, earning money and observing m : ^ practical skills in child care training, you become aware of the many tasks of the successful home­maker. MIGHT! MAN Teacher: "W ho was H om er?” Pupil; “He was the m an who m ade Babe Ruth fam ous.” Target "Did you strike this man in an excess of irritability?” “No, sorr, Oi struck him on the nose.” BRIEF ENOUGH The young reporter had been told over and over again that liis stories were too long-winded and fliat he must cut to bare essen­ tials. So his next story came out this way:— “J. Smith looked up the shaft at the Palace Hotel this morning to see if the lift was on its way down. It was. Aged forty-five.” WASTED EFFORT Sylvester Says: Ctovemment are “If new hume coKts would bnr- den you — jast w ait till you get y o n r b ill fo r public housing.” Public housers in the Federal asking Congress for the right to spend over 17 bil­ lion dollars and construct one mil­ lion, fifty thousand public housing units in the next 3 ^ years. At this rate each public housing unit will cost you, the American citizen, ap­proximately $17,000. None of this money will be repaid and it does not include cost of land, architects, and other fees.This public housing will cost more tlian Americans paid to buy the over two million, two hundred thousand homes constructed by the private building industry during the last 3‘/4 years. The average sales' price of homes produced by private industry was about $8,000, or less than half the amount being •pent to produce each public hous­ ing unit. Royal Decisitm A man arrived home in the small hours of the mornmg and, having ;a wholesome fear of bis wife, de­ cided to proceed with caution. Taking off his boots, he crept noiselessly upstairs, stealthily opened the bedroom door, and, with the greatest care, crawled into bed. With a sigh of relief he went off to sleep. In the morning he looked round for his wife, and suddenly remem­ bered she had been staying with an aunt for the past fortnight. “No,” said the employer, stern­ ly, "I will not do it! Never have I sold anything by false representa­tion, and I will not begin now.” For a moment he was silent; and the assistant who stood before him could see that the better nature of his employer was fighting strongly for the right. “No,” repeated the employer. “I will not do it! It is an inferior grade of shoe, and I will never pass it off as anything better. Mark it ‘A Shoe Fit for a Queen’ and put it in the window—a queen does not have to do much walking.” Moisture in Ash Tray What causes the moisture that ap­ pears in an ash tray, particularly a metal one, as a cigarette burns in it? All burning of paper, gas, wood, and similar materials, containing a considerable proportion of hydrogen, iproduces water, formed by a com­bination of the hydrogen with oxy­gen from the air. C^dinarily this escapes from the cigarette as in visible vapor, but if the ash tra- ia cool, it condenses to form visit' noicture. Don’t Shake Paint Shaking of paint, varnish and lacquer products, especially var­nishes and enamels, is likely to re­ sult in minute air bubbles which may cause pin prick blisters on the finished job. Such products should be cartfuUy and thoroughly stirred before use and then "boxed” by pouring two or three times from one contataier to another. Finally, straining the finish through an old silk stocking or fine cloth will remove any specks or lumps which may have been missed in the stirring, the user desires maxi­mum assurance of a perfect fin­ ish. This procedure is especially advised when a finish has been previously opened and left stand­ ing, with possible development of a skin. Underneath Roofing Protects Roll roofing unrolled on the soil under houses without basements, an­ nounced two years ago by the U. S. department of agriculture as a means of reducing moisture and preventing rot of floors and timbers, now proves to have other effects, including rust prevention, in pre­ serving houses. Heavy roofing is recommended (55 pounds to 100 square feet or heavier). The meth­ od has been found desirable when adequate sub-floor ventilation would interfere with the warmth of thi house. CiUUonda A woman traveling by train was talldng to a man in the next seat. In describing her holiday, she said that she had visited San Jose. “You pronoimced that wrong,” said the man. “It’s San Hosay. In California you pronounce all the J ’s as H’s. When were you there?” The woman thought a moment, then answered: **&i Hune and Huly.” FLOV^ERS CUT FLOW ERS DESIGNS POTTED PLANTS SEE THEM AT Davie Florist Wilkesboro S t Phone 222-W Notice to Creditors Having qualified as Executrix of the estate of Z.

W e want to know that we w ill at all times have enough income to meet our needs and the needs of our families. W e know that sooner or later we will grow old or die. When either of these events oc­ cur, wage income stops. The question, therefore, each o( us asks ourselves is, “W hat will be­ come of me and my family when my earnings cease beeause of old age or death.” Old-Age and Sur­ vivors Insurance is a part of the answer to that question, if you work on a job covered by the So­ cial Security Act. In case of the death of a bread­ winner, his femily, in most cases, is immediately left without in come. The time that passes be­ tween death and the beginning of payment of monthly benefits to the family depends, upon how soon we get notice of the death and how soon the application for these benefits is received. W e make every effort to assist the survivors in getting their monthly checks started promptly. To ac" complish this, there must be full cooperation on the part of the survivors. One case we had re- cendy illustrates this point. In the month the wage earner died, we received that information, the claim was promptly developed,and survivors were notified what the monthly payments would be and when they would start. This was possible because tlie survivors fol­ lowed our advice to all survivors of wage earners. The case referred to above was one where the wage earner died suddenly leaving a widow and one child under 18. The widow not only had to file a claim for her­ self and child but she had to give us certified copies of her marriage certificate and birth certificate for the child. She got these to us just as soon as they were requested. She did not have difficulty in get­ ting them which, of course, is not always the case. W hen a widow or other survivors do have diffi culty in getting the proof required before payments can start, they should let us know. W e may be able to assist them. A marriage certificate shows re­ lationship of a widow to the wage earner; the birth certificate not only shows the relationship of a child to the wage earner but the child’s birthday, which we must have in order to know how long payments can be made. Payments to a child stop when he is 18. I will be in Mocksville on W ed­ nesday, May 25, !at the court house, second floor, at 12:30 p. m.

They were visiting Jim ’s brother in Chicago when Jim re­ marked that he and Marian could do a better job of singmg than any­one on the radio program they were listening to; Jim’s brother bet him $10 they couldn’t. That was a lot of Fibber and Molly money to the Jordans then; they showed up at Station WIBO, and landed on the air. Five months later the radio job ended, and they went back to vaudeville. It was not until later that they became “Fibber McGee and Molly” in one of radio’s top ranking radio series. Dr. Henry Darlington, Rector of New York’s Church of the Heavenly Rest, recently appeared as family counselor on “The Second Mrs. Burton.” Listening to the singing commercials, he remarked, “If churches used a device as catchy as this, I could guarantee standing room only.” No doubt he went home and asked the cook to try those seven delicious flavors. Eurt Lancaster is back in the circus; he finished “Rope of Sand” and beaded for Louis­ville, Ky., and the Cole Broth­ er’s circus, to do an acrobatic act with his former partner, Nick Cravat; will appear with it in 26 cities.

Duff was in a plane that encountered severe headwinds, threatened to run out of gas. He admits that he was as scared as anybody else, but he took out some cards and started a pokftr game. somebody who could at least bake a cake._»_ No matter how deep the planet’s faith in those men dele­ gates ever got there was al­ ways the realization that they really didn’t know how to re­ place a lost shirt button.♦ It seems to us that the men might weU be called off the peace job and the women sent in. In four years the men haven’t even made anybody turn around and look at them. Not a delegate has had a song written to him. There hasn’t been a heartthrob in a carload._•_ U. N. has no glamour. For one per­ son who can name the head of the organization 1,000 can name the young woman who was Miss Some­ body’s Beer for 1948. K the women formed a peace organization, took over U.N. and sent the men home to look after the kids, put out the cat and do other things not subject to the veto, the peace movement would imediateliy acquire im­ mense affection and devotion.Maybe what the world needs is a League that can be whistled at! - » We can see swift results. A fe­ male U.N. would get a bigger play in all the newspapers and maga­zines. It would probably make the cover of Life. It would even make television, which is the ultimate goal these days. Whenever interest in the organization tailed off the delegates could be photographed in beach attire or endorsing a girdle. __*___ A woman’s United Nations would solve the Gromyko problem pronto. There has never been a time when one woman could veto 1,000 other women and live._• fVbat can men do when the world is ornery? Nothing. But in a showdown the women could get what they want merely by flashing a two-word message to all women everywhere: “Stop cooking!” And they could follow that up with an order to the girls to refuse to answer the universal question, “Where did you put the asplrtai, Nellie?” To cap it aU they could say, “Not a bed will be made or a sock washed until the armies of the earth disband.” Gangway for the ladies I They will know the right perfumery.

Wilkinson C orner TT HAPPENED that young Glen * Lloyd was the only warden on duty when Chief Fred Mather re­ ceived word that poachers were doing a wholesale business in moose meat up in Birchill county. Glen was a rookie on the job. As yet he’d had no contact with either the hardships or the dangers of a north woods game warden. Chief Mather decided to use discretion. “You go up there and do some reconnoitering,” he told the youth. ______________ “You’ll find a 3 ... , base camp- un-• Minute der a cliff near Fiction headwaters ______ of th e Beaver.Make this your headquarters until Warden Loomis arrives. He’ll tell you how to pro­ ceed.” Chief Mather drummed with his pencil. “Don’t take any chances, son. I’ve an idea that Moe Stanford’s behind this ring. He’s a bad actor.” Glen reached the base cabin two days later. The ground was cov­ ered with a six-inch fall of snow. Glen waited two days more and then decided to take matters into his own hands. Armed with his ser­ vice pistol and a flashlight he con­ cealed himseK near the tote road on top of a ridge where the prog­ ress of the truck would have to be slow. It was bitterly cold and a brisk wind was blowing. Also there was the promise of snow in the air. Midnight came and went and Glen’s spirits ebbed low. Cursing himself for delaying action, Glen was about to quit his hiding place when he heard distantly the roar of an automobile motor. He waited until the driver was shifting gears for the final pull, then stepped out into the glare of the lights. He held liis gun in one band. The badge on his sheepskin coat was plainly visible. Instead of stopping, the driver bore down on the accelerator. The truck roared straight at the war­ den. Glen stepped to one side, bare­ ly avoiding being hit, and as the heavy machine limibered by he swung himself onto the running ijoard. He clung there perilously for a moment, then something hit him on the head, he heard an angry curse, and went spinning of into space. Fifteen minutes later he emerged on to the same tote road where it doubled back on itself. The lights from the truck were already sweep­ ing up the incline. Gl e n c r o u c h e d behind a boulder, glad that the darkness was so intense. He waited until the truck had crawled by, then ran after it. He caught the tailboard and hoisted himself up. Two men were standing up front, leaning over the cab. The noise of the motor had drowned out sounds of his ap proach. Reversing his service gun, Glen crept up behind the men, felled one of them and grappled with the other. The scuffle was short-lived. Taken completely by surprise ttie poacher was at a disadvantage. Stunned by the blow which he tried to dodge, he fell against the cab and slumped to his knees when Glen struck out a second time. Ihe warden handcuffed the two men to an upright in the truck, then approached the cab. There was a small window in its rear. Ihrougb this Glen thrust his gun, splintering the glass. Ihe two men inside turned to find themselves star­ing into the gun’s muzzle. Warden Loomis, trekking north­ ward to join young Glen Lloyd, was astonished to find a truck on the old tote road. The truck stopped and a friendly, boyish voice greeted him. “Hi, Joe,” Glen yeUed. “Put some bracelets on these birds in front, will you? My hand’s so stiff from holding this gun I can’t move it—let alone pull the trigger.” When Chief Mather heard the story he wrote a personal letter to Supervisor Herrick, compliment­ing the supervisor on his choice of men.

A m erican m arines wave from the U.S.S. St. F a n l as tliey embarlc for trouble spots In China. The St. P aul, heavy cruiser, w as one of the two warships leaving for C iiina and which carried m uch larger complements of m arines than norm al. The United States was showing the world that it planned no maneu­ vers which might create the situation for an "incident” leading to in­ volvement in the Chinese war. To the surprise of practically everyone, particularly the 2,500 Amer­ icans in Shanghai, the entire U. S. fleet fled suddenly from Shanghai, evidently having abandoned then current plans for evacuation of American nationals from the scene. THE GOVERNMENT-was send­ing some marines to Chinese troub­ led spots, but these were to do only sentry duty. United States action came despite admittedly great provocation. The Chinese Communists, in their tri­ umphant surge across China to Shanghai, had invaded the home of U. S. Envoy J. Leighton Stuart in Nanking and hinted he was to be held in custody. Meanwhile, the Chinese Reds broadcast a demand for American and British officials to evacuate all their “aggressive forces” from China. Already British warships had been fired upon and it was assumed American fleet elements had fled Shanghai in order to avoid any such predicament as was exper­ ienced by the British vessels.THE COMMUNIST threat to Shanghai was increasing hourly and despite Nationalist decision to battle to the end, it appeared the city’s plight was hopeless.Communist victory in China would put all the western nations in a ticklish position. For, with the Reds in control of all China, those who opposed communism would be helpless and hopeless in event of a western-powers move to ap­ ply economic sanctions, if such a step should be taken. If this pro­ cedure were not to be followed, the western powers would be put in the paradoxical position of recog­ nizing and trading with proponents of an ideology with which they were struggling in a cold war. A U T O LA B O R : Flareup Looms Tlie nation’s coal mines didn’t present the only likely flareup in labor-employe relations as bargain­ing time rolled around in various industries. Those who were in posi­ tion to know held the opinion that it was an “uneasy peace” which hung over the automobile industry.UNION FLAREUPS had been quelled at the Packard and Ford motor companies and a temporary work stoppage had halted body pro­duction at the Briggs manu­ facturing company’s plant. The future of labor relations in the industry was as confused as it was uneasy. Recent action by man­ ufacturers in cutting prices of auto­mobiles had brought accusations from labor that the reductions were only “token” cuts, and did not rep­ resent a fair action on the part of the manufacturers. However, with prices of other commodities beginning to spiral downward and easement of install­ ment buying widened, it began to appear that labor would be in a vulnerable position by the time con­ tract-signing time rolled around. WHILE there was little in the press about the intentions of dyna­mic Walter Eeuther, head of the United Automobile Workers’ union, there was slight doubt that the fiery redhead would be in there pitching for his union members when liie time came to sit down at the bargaining table.Would labor attempt to overreach itself in bargaining or would it recognize the trend of the times and be content to hold present gains? That was the question whose answer would be anxiously awaited by the citizen who is always in the middle in such struggles—the aver­age American consumer. SPRING COMES TO ENGLAND Nature Gives Weird Vent to Vernal Urge Are Eased Again Developments were shoving Pres­ ident Truman’s demands for price control power further and further into the realm of absurdity. THE FEDERAL reserve 'board, after looking the situation over, de-__________ cided that instaUment buying con- ate those could be lowered again safely,newspaper.) And this it did. It set out that on household appliances such as refrig­ erators, radios, eleotrlc washers, etc., the down payment would have to be only 10 per cent of the cost of the item, instead of the previous 15 per cent. On automo­ biles, the down payment remained at 30 per cent; but on autos and household appliances, too, the time of payment was extended from 21 to 24 months.THIS ACTION brought both com­ mendation and criticism. That ele­ ment in the federal government which would recoup all the war­ time controls for the President, was aghast at the action, terming it dangerous. Others who had watched prices continue their downward spiral—especially mer­chants who were facing a buyers’ market and difficulty in moving goods off sales floors—saw the action as a boon to business. S U L L IV A N : Quits Navy Post There was little else that John L. Sullivan, secretary of the navy, could have done but resign after the “multi-million dollar repri­mand” he received from Defense Secretary Louis Johnson. SULLIVAN, as navy chief, had gone ahead with plans to construct the 65,000-ton U. S. aircraft super­ carrier, the United States, despite lack of congressional authorization tor the project. ' It was no particular secret that abandonment of the carrier and Sullivan’s resignation were all a continuing part of the apparently hopeless fight to unify the nation’s armed forces. The congressional act calling for such a step has never been carried out, and the navy’s attempt to go ahead with building the huge carrier without any legal authority was another example of high-handed service tactics that have tended to make unification appear impossible of MIRROR Of Your MIND Love A ffe c ts Y our T olerance By Lawrence Gould If the United States and Britain looked with a jaundiced eye on Russia’s public offer to lift the Ber­lin blockade, it was thoroughly un­ derstandable. Too often the Soviets have held out the olive branch or made apparent overtures that never materialized to ease the crisis the Reds msgr have been de­veloping at that time. HOWEVER, the western powers had virtually accepted the Russian proposal to lift the Berlin blockade in exchange for a four-power con­ference on Germany. But it was made very plain that acceptance was based on the condition that Russia had no secret strings at­ tached to the offer. A U. S. state department official was quoted as saying that if Mos- j realization, cow’s policy actually stands as it DEFENSE was reported in a dispatch by Tass, Russian news agency, the “way ap­pears clear for the lifting of the blockade and a meeting of the coun­cil of foreign ministers.” At the same time, however, it was learned that the Russians were told that the United States, Bnt- ain and France do not intend to de­lay their plans for unifying western Germany and creating a German government, probably by July 15.SOME TOP officials believed the Russian offer’s real piupose was to delay this action, and indicated that if this were the case it was most uncertain whether a real and final agreement on the Berlin blockade would be reached any time in the near future. The Russian proposal was Con­strued as suggesting three' concrete means for reducing international tension. These were outlined as (1) proposal for a meeting of the coun­cil of foreign ministers on the sub­ ject of Germany: (2) lifting the Berlin restrictions as soon as a meeting date was fixed for that meeting, and (3) direct negotiations between Premier Stalin and Pres­ident Truman on basic conflicts beween the United States and the Soviet union. F A R M P R O G R A M : Who's Confused? The administration’s bold new farm program was becoming so muddled that even its proponents seemed to be less than certain of just what its purpose is, to say nothing of how much it will cost. When the program was first pre­ sented, the general impression gen­erated by its proponents was that it was a duality of beneficence, as it wore—a device that would keep up the price of farm products while at the same time resulting in le^s cost to the consumer. TO CRITICS w h o caDously pointed out that it would_ require tax money to finance such a pro­gram and that both farmers and consumers would have to pay those taxes, the plan’s advocates an­swered that such persons simply didn’t understand the aims of the proposal. Then along came AgriciUture Secretary Charles F. Brannan with a statement that indicated he didn’t quite understand it either, or if he did, it v.'as a new conception. Now, the secretary was saying, the plan wasn’t meant as a consumer sub­ sidy at all. No indeed, it was a farm price support measure, aimed at giving the farmer a “fair re­turn” on his investment and his labor. SECRETARY John­ son, commenting on Sullivan’s res­ignation, said, “I regret very much that my old friend and colleague . . . has joined the aircraft carrier issue on personal grounds and I believe that he too will soon regret his action of today.” D A IR Y M E N : Will Push Sales According to the experts, milk prices would be tumbling again this summer, but American dairy­men wouldn’t be cheering about it.In fact, dairymen were getting set to launch a 1.5 million-dollar campaign to promote the sale of dairy products and, at the same time, wage war on oleomargarine. Most dairy leaders were said to believe that a promotional cam­paign to boost consumption was the only way to check a nose-dive in milk and butter prices that has caught producers with their income down and their costs up. In little more than seven months, according to a federal dairy spe­ cialist, dairy prices had, dropped 33 per cent. Butter, which not long ago was at almost prohibitive prices, had dipped to the govern­ment support level. Milk prices also had been falling off a cent or two at a time on retail markets. The federal specialist pointed out that domestic unemployment has contributed to the drop in consump­tion of dairy products. It was spring in England, and whimsey and fantasy were all around. For instance, cows got a license to kiss. A lovelorn cat set fire to a house. A thief, no doubt actuated by the season, stole two dozen love birds. A swan, winging majesti­ cally up the Thames in search of a mate, plumped on a bridge at rush hour and piled up traffic for- a mile. Everything, ..if seemed, was in a tizzy. The Denham town council gave cows tlie kissing license. It ruled that it’s aU right for them to nuz­ zle over the'fence, even if one pas­ ture is certified tuberculosis-free and the other isn’t. Grown Up Does being in love make yon more tolerant? maturity on one or both sides. An employee who works in “an at­ mosphere of approval” may be disciplined occasionally without feeling resentment, but the more intelligence and sympatl^ the supervisor shows, the less occa­ sion for this there is likely to be. Answer: It is apt to make you both more tolerant — and less so. It is easy for you to “forgive” or “understand” the way the loved one behaves so long as his actions don’t affect you, but if what he does reflects on you—or on your family — it is likely to be harder to excuse than the same sort of behavior in a stranger. The more you love anyone, the more you in­ evitably give him the power to hm:t you, and the more surely you will become frightened and angry if he exercises that power in ways which you cannot control. Do good supervisors have to discipline workers? Answer: Rarely, maintains Roy Walls in an article in Personnel Journal. In fact, they should rec­ ognize having to do so as a “con­ fession of failure.” just as parents should the need to punish a child. In either case, the root of the trouble usually is emotional im- Will a schizophrenic get well without treatment? Answer: It is not uncommon for a mentally sick person to have “lucid intervals” in which for some unknown reason the conflicts that cause his iUness have sub­sided for the moment, but where the change has involved no “in­sight” into the source of his dif­ficulties, the improvement is apt to be temporary and uncertain. Although there’s no certainty that even this wiH cure him permanent­ly every schizophrenic should have psychiatric treatment, and the earlier in his iUness he is hos­pitalized, the better his chances of recovery. .

I regret to state that these medi­ cal officers—and also the mem­bers of the board—were concerned almost entirely about the condition of the recruit from his neck down.

Italy Wants Colonies PRESIDENT TRUMAN was sym- * pathetic, but noncommittal, when five Italian-American con­ gressmen braced him about the re­turn of Italy’s war-lost colonies in Afrina Led by forthright freshman Rep. Anthony TaurieUo of New York, the White House callers con­ tended that Italy’s joining the At­lantic pact demonstrated her right to the colonies. Kep. Anthony Cavalcante of Penn­sylvania enlivened the proceed­ings with a charge that Great Brit­ ain was deliberately blocking a settlement of the issue. “It will mean less Marshall plan spending in Italy if the ccSonies are returned, for the Italian govern­ ment then will have an outlet for its surplus population, including 250,000 refugees who left Africa for Italy during the war,” argued TaurieUo. “These people, many of whom are on reUef, will be able to support themselves by farming in the col­onies,” he argued. “Also. Italian opposition to communism will be stiffened if the colony question is settled. As you know, before the Italian election last year, Russia favored the return of the colonies, but since then Russia has opposed their return under a United Nations trusteeship or otherwise.” “I will do anything I can to help the Italian people,” re­plied Truman. “But. I cannot commit myself on this question. It is a world problem and the decision will have to be made by the Cnited Nations.” Representative TaurieUo and liis colleagues — Peter Rodino (N. J.), Hugh Addonizio (N. J.), Gary Clements (N. Y.) and Cavalcante— all agreed that Truman couldn’t dictate to the U. N. “We understand your position,” said the outspoken Cavalcante, a down-the-line battler for Truman domestic policies. “It’s too bad Great Britain doesn’t also live up to United Nations principles. Britain has been blocking the re­turn of these colonies because she wants them for herself. “If the United Nations gov­ernment lets Britain get away wifli it, then all I can say is that we are not pursuing the international policy of moral right, to all nations, great and s&ali, on which the U. N. was founded.” Note—American Negroes are up in arms against the return of Afri­can colonies to Italy. They remem­ber the rape of Ethiopia. Also, Negro G. I.’s who served in North Africa recall brutal Italian treat­ ment of natives.« « * Truman’s Old Haunts' Seldom has President Truman had such a gay time as when- he visited his old haunts in the senate on the anniversary of Roosevelt’s death. He led a procession of sen­ators and secret service men on to the senate floor. On the way, he ducked into the Vice-President’s office and signed the register under Cardinal Spellman’s name. Since Vice-President Barkley was out of town, Truman also scribbled a note to him on a scratch pad. “Dear Mr. VP,” he scrawled, “called to see you to get some ad­vice—^HST.” In the senate cloak room, the President took a squint at the news ticker.“They didn’t have these here in my day,” he remarked.Then, referring to Washington’s newspaper strike, he added mis­ chievously: “I’m not getting my newspaper at home. I’ll have to read your ticker.” The President marched out of the senate chamber and peeked into Senate Secretary Les Biffie’s office. Biffle was recuperating from the grippe at Bethesda naval hospital, so the President sat dotvn and scribbled another note. “Les,” he wrote, “I wish you were here. I tried to see the VP— he was gone. Now you are out. ■What shall I do? Looks as if I’U have to consult with the senate— HST.” Not satisfied with just leaving' a note, the President picked up the phone and called Biffle at the hos­ pital. “Hello, Les,” he chirped. “I’m sitting at your desk, so I thought I would call you up.” The President chatted about Biffle's health, then hung up. At that moment, a call came into the office and Truman thought it would be a good joke to answer it. But he couldn’t find the right button, n'hen a secretary beat him to it, he pulled a wry face. From Bifae’s office', the Presi dent returned to the senate flooi and took his former seat. There Florida’s Sen. Claude Pepper placed a hand on liis shoulder and joked: “Well, I hope you’re going to vote for the program of our Presi­ dent.” “I sure would,” chuckled, Tru­man, “if I had a vote.” White In Che Insectic Evaluatj An old-s np to give I to a whit^ new chen stable fly pinch-hittin| making the partment o| The old ^ played waJ test mouse! cage that holder.

White Mice Serving In Chemical Tests Insecticide Shower Evaluates Foimulae An old-style phonograph rlggea up to give a revolving shower bath to a white mouse is helping test new chemicals for effectiveness in stable fly control. The mice are pinch-hitting for dairy cows in making the tests, says the U.S. de­partment of agricultiure. The old phonograph was one that played wax cylinder records. The test mouse is confined in a screen cage that replaces the old record holder. The mouse is rolled around several times under a sprayed solution of the new chemical, and then is rolled under an air stream until dry. The test comes the next day in another cage with 20 stable flies. If as many as four of the flies succeed in attacking the mouse without being driven off or^ poisoned, the chemical is not re­ garded as worth a full scale test on a cow. This is the first time white mice have been used in just this kind of experimental work. Federal entomologists are search­ ing actively for a spray that will protect animals from attack by stable flies and other blood-sucking flies and mosquitoes. Eecent ex­ perience has proved abundantly how profitable it is for farmers to protect cattle from the torment of “fly time” and thus avoid the sum­mer slinnp in milk production and gains in weight of animals on pasture. This search calls for trials oi hundreds of chemicals. Many of these are new synthetics. S o il P ro te c tio n AN 'UMBRELU' OF LE6UME6 AND 6BiSS65 WILt PROTECT VOUB 60lt FBOM PELTING BMNS. Pelting rains may be a soil de­ stroyer rather than a farm blessing unless your land has a protective "umbrella” over cover crops. Beating rains on bare land break the surface soil into small particles. These particles quickly fill the pores of the stirface soil. The sur­face forms a hard crust. Water cannot soak in. Instead, it runs over the surface. The farm land then suffers a double loss. It loses needed moisture for crops and il loses valuable top-soil.The Middle West soil improve­ ment committee suggests these steps for protecting your soil and giving your crops better use of the rains you get:1. Use a cropping system that gives your soil as continuous cover as possible throughout the year.2. Thick - growing grasses and deep-rooted legimies give the best cover. 3. Small grains following corn help keep the land protected. 4. If winter wheat or rye is not feasible, a good covering can be had by mashing down com stalks or soybean tops. Legumes like alfalfa and sweet clover prevent washing away of soil. Their prying taproots open the soil so rain so£^s in and is held for crops. Legumes weU fed with phosphate and potash fertilizer add life-giving organic matter. Land Should Be Turned Under for New Legumes When corn is to follow first year sweetclover, it is advisable to get the ground turned under before the new growth of the legume removes too much moisture from the soil.This tip comes from D. L. Gross, Nebraska university extension agronomist. He advises, however, not to plow under the clover before new crown shoots get to a length of four to six inches. Earlier plow­ ing may not kill the legume. ^ SPEAKS ^ :j lIlljBir^ Internalion^"ljntfarTir*TBjiMiiiri Suodav School Lessen J»y DR KEHHETH J FOREMAN ^_a3llI>TCRB: Mark 14:12-26: Luke 22: , d e v o tio n a l READING: 1 Corinth­ians 11:23-29. The Lord's Supper Lesson {or May 32, 1949 T ET US CLEAR UP some very ■“ common misunderstandings of what the Christian religion is. Some (both enemies and friends) think it consists in turning one’s back on the world, liv­ ing in a sort of happy wonderland where the evil of the world is alto­gether shut out and forgotten. Another notion is that Christianity p r e- sents an angry God Dr. Foreman (or one who can very easily be made angry) laying down the law to mankind. Another is that Christianity is a purely in­ dividual affair. And still another is that Christian religion CMi- sists of the teachings of Jesus and that is all it is. Every one of these misunderstandings vanishes in the light that shines around the Lord’s Supper. • • • Betrayal pE O PLE SOMETIMES think that * religion shuts men’s eyes to the ugly realities of life. Some re­ ligions try to do so; but not the re­ligion of Christ. He knew the kind of world this is; he never let his disciples forget it. On that last night, dark forces were abroad. Jesus’ enemies were closing in on him. One of his own circle would betray him. Tet it was in that sort of atmosphere, heavy with betray­ al and hatred, that Jesus began this sacrament of faith, hope and love. The true Christian does not live in a fool's paradise, he does not imagine that evei^hing is lovely in the nicest possible words. The sacrament which is the heart of his worship is itself a reminder of the ugliness of the world which man’s sin creates.* « • Blessing "RND HE BLESSED the bread If Christianity con­sisted mainly of condemning wick­ edness and denouncing sinners, then at the center of our worship we would have some symbol of dread and awe, like fire and brimstone, a consuming Same. But no—at the heart of onr worship Is a thing as simple, plain and friendly as a loaf of bread, bread on which the bless­ ing of God has been asked. Blessing, not cursing; invita­ tion, not threatening. Is at the heart of our religion. Whenever you see some one whose chief idea of being a “good Chris­ tian” is going around proclaiming the meanness of the world, cawing at everybody and everything. Breaking WRND BROKE IT, and gave “ . . . ” Artists have tried in a single picture to express the mean­ ing of Christiani^. Some of the pic­tures are beaut&ul, but many of them miss an important truth. What shall it be? A picture of a ship­ wrecked woman clinging to a rock?! Of a saint praying in a long soli-; tary vigil? These leave out some­ thing vital. For Christianity is a, fellowship. No Christian is com­plete by himself. At the b«art of our religion is a Communion. Few if any Protestant churches allow any one even a minister, to give the Holy Commnnion to himself, by himself. The true Christian never finds himscU, his true self, alone; onlyj in fellowship. A Christian belongs i with other Christians as much as! one coal in a bed of coals belongs with aU the rest. Blood IESUS TEACHINGS are so impor­ tant, so full of wisdom and of living power, that often some one will say that Jesus was a teacher and only a teacher, and that follow­ing his teachings is all that Chris­ tianity is. Jesus did not think of it in this way. True, his teaching is of the utmost importance; but that was not and is not all. As Mid­dleton Murry said years ago, Jesus was the only teacher who has died for his teaching. But he did more than that: he died for those be taught. The cup at the Holy Communion reminds every one who partakes of it that Christ was not only a teacher, he was a sacrifice.

Or, have they warmed and wilted before reaching the table?N o matter how good th e salad originally may have been, if it suffers from either of these faults, no one is going to enjoy it. The salad should be crisp and neat. Garnish it, yes, but don’t over-do it or the salad wiU lose its much desired freshness.The ingredients for a salad as well as the plate, bowl or platter on which it’s served shotild be giv­en a thorough chilling in the refrig­ erator. Save the salad’s finishing touches for the very last prepara­ tion before serving the meal. For the heavy meals, your best choice is a cold, crisp tossed salad. This may be made entirely of greens. You may add any of the following ingredients to a simple green salad: sliced or quartered tomatoes; cucumbers, sliced very thin; radishes; green onions; or grapefruit or orange sections.• • • GREENS WHICH ARE often used in a salad may consist of ten­der hearts of lettuce, endive, chic­ory, romaine, celery and water­ cress. Toss these together with a weU-seasoned French dressing made as follows: French Dressing (Makes 1 quart) 3 tablespoons honey 3 teaspoons salt1 tablespoon dry mustard 1 tablespoon worchestershire sauce Dash of tobasco sauce 1 tablespoon paprika2 tablespoons tarragon vine­ gar H cup distilled vinegar1 can condensed tomato soup VA cups salad oil 1 clove garlic Mix aU ingredients together.

Try some of these: asparagus spears marinated in French dressmg, pa­ per thin slices of onion, dipped in paprika, stalks of endive stuffed with Roquefort cheese paste, and grated carrots. Cream or cottage cheese add protein to a meat-shy meal when mixed with chopped chives and sour cream. Serve in a lettuce cup.

Called to the Kelly home, he went upstairs to the sick room but came down in a few minutes to inquire of Kelly, “Have you a cork-screw handy?” Given the tool, he disappeared up the stairs for the second time.Several minutes later the doctor was back. “Got a screw driver?" he asked the anxious Kelly. Instru­ment in hand, he went upstairs again. Almost immediately he was downstairs again. “A chisd and mallet, quicMy,” he demanded. The distraught husband could stand it no longer. “For the love of Heaven, doctor,” he begged, '‘what’s the matter with my wife?" “Don’t know yet,” was the reply. “Can’t get my medicine bag open.” TOO BAD A man himting an apartment came across a rather nice place. He located the building superintendent and said: “I think this apartment will suit me very well, but what are all those stains on the wall?” The superintendent explained that the last occupant had been a pro­fessor who was always experiment­ ing with new chemicals. “Oh, I see,” said the man, “then those are the marks made by the chemicals.” “No,” said the superintendent, “they’re the professor.” SHE SAW TO THAT Roy: Darling, my love for you cannot be denied.Joyce: I’U say it can’t! I keep every one of your letters. Bight at Home A stranger wandered into the Explorers’ Club. He walked up to a very dignified gentleman. “Hey, boss,” he said, “what kind of a place is this?”“This is the Explorers’ Club.” “Do you explore?” “My man, I explored the four comers of the earth. I have been buffeted by the people of Arabia. I have battled fte people of all lands—Spaniards, Greeks, French* men, Russians, Scandinavians, Armenians, lithuanians and Asi­atics. I have single-handedly bat­ tled my way through all the peoples of the earth.”“Well, whafs wonderful about that? I battle my way through all them people every time I go into the subway.” Infallible Sign A couple of newlyweds were re­ turning from their honeymoon.“Darling,” said the bride as they stepped oH the train, “let’s make the people around here believe that we’ve been married a long time.”“Okay,” said the groom, “you carry the suitcases."

ArkttM$at Integrity and Contracts : One ol the qualities in human be­ ings that our civilization today needs so desperately is integrity. What is integrity? The word comes from a Latin term which meant "untouched” or “whole.” That’s about the way it is today. A man who has integrity is so morally sound that he is not to be touched —^iii a way that will affect his hon­ esty and uprightness.Many labor-management disagree­ments would disappear, if we hon­ estly would undertake to solve them with each side of the conference ta­ble keeping its integrity. If each party to an agreement keeps his word—that is integrity. It used to be said of a neighbor I had; “His word is his bond.” That’s the kind of neighbor this world needs. It will require integrity from each one of us, if this world is to become a bet­ter place. An Example Let me illustrate—with a labor- management example. Less than a year ago, the General Motors “cost of living” wage agreement with United Automobile Workers was ac­claimed as a solution to the fre­ quent wage battles that upset cur industrial communities.Under terms of the contract GM can raise or lower wages according to government statistics. As living costs rise or fall in reports of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the com­pany can adjiist wages accordingly. While the formula did not rule out wage increases for other reasons, it was an honest attempt to solve the cost-of-living problem. Pay Cut Due Last year under the contract GM employees got a flat 6-cent hourly raise, plus a “cost of living” in­crease of 5 cents. What are the prospects this year? Employees are in line for an increase not related to living costs, but under the formu­la wiU get a pay cut of 2 cents be­ cause the Bureau of Labor Statistics index of living costs has gone down. The effect would be to hold wages at about the same levels as last year.Employees still would have the advantage of the decline in living costs. However, according to a re­ cent Associated Press dispatch, a GM local in Cleveland wants to re­open, the contract, which has more than a year to run. This local of 2,500 workers wants UAW headquar­ ters to block the carrying out of the contract. According to the AP story the local’s president said that work­ ers’ living conditions “ought to be of greater meaning than the sacred­ ness of a contract.”Moral Issues Moral issues are involved when you talk about breaking contracts. As against a pay increase of two or three cents, a contract should have plenty of sacredness. What is in­ volved is integrity. The contract was made in good faith. It has more than a year to run. If it does not meet the needs of the UAW, the parties will have determined this by the time for expiration. There are "few human relationships that have greater meaning than do con­ tracts. The courts of the land ex-, pect contracts to be kept. Good' neighbors are made by men who keep their word. This applies to groups as well. Good citizenship re­quires integrity.

Salaries for Federal employees— now 7 billion dollars; grants in aid 2% billion dollars; in public works underway or proposed—30 billion dollars; yearly interest on trust fund reserves—1 billion dollars.

C THEY CANT TAKE YOUR AO lOME Our First Engineer The beaver is not only one of the most resourceful of small animals but also one of the most industrious, and in many respects most useful. The beaver is the world's first engi­neer, and as such, its industrial traits are valuable to man and beast. For their value as engineers, beavers often are carried to locali­ties where their kind once lived but disappeared. They are captured in large basl<et-like traps and trans­ported to depleted lands where beaver dams are needed. No sooner than given a new job—and they like a new undertaking — these sharp, toothed workers start gnawing down trees for dam building material. When spring rains swell the streams their dams prevent the washing away of valuable topsoil, preserve timber supply and aid in beautifying the landsoapp Sylvester Says: “Excuse me! But someone just took a quarter out of your pocket.” In fact, Uncle Sam (national income and tax tables show) takes more than a quarter out of your pocket every time you earn a dollar. If the government spends new billions for public housing; more billions for public medical care; ad­ ditional billions for the unemploy­ed; more billions for maintaining farm product prices; and other millions to subsidize education in public schools—then, will the hand in your pocket take 75(* in taxes and leave only a quarter out of each dollar you earn?

No woman can build a great, sublime life hy indulging In bad habits. Sin always takes the beauty and the value out of womanhood, also out of mauhood. Every girl, every woman, should =0 value life and character until she would not stoop to the low, the mean, the degrading. She should value her soul, her life, her charact­ er as a orlceless pearl. The world should know that the jewelss of her life—purity, godliness, honesty, truth, virture and Chrlstllkeness— are for God’s gloiy. and are not for sale at any price. She shoald va­ lue character far above diamonds and pearls, geirs and rubles, silver and gold. She ought to let the world know that she absolutely will not sell out for pleasure, for popu­ larity, for self-gratificalloo, for money, nor for anything else. Her highest earthly throne should be her palatial Christian womanhood, and upon this throne she should allow no enemy to six, or to pull her down, and awav from. She is the master of the situation as long as she t'usts God, pravs, and de­ pends solely ttpon Him as her lead­ er, guide and protector. In her hands are the keys to her throne of beautiful, priceless, noble, sacred womanhood, and no thief can take them out of her hands unless she consents. ' This she ought to re fuse to do, eveu if it costs her the life she holds sacred and dear. At this her character would shine like gold aud her soul would enter heev- en. Labor vs Taft President William Green of the American Federation of Lahor has called for the defeat of Senator Ro> bert A. Taft when he comes up for re-election next year, and because he squeaked through by a narrow margin in 1944 the Gentleman, from Ohio faces the political fight of his life. But Taft has many warm ad­ mirers on beth sides of the aisle, and there are many Washiugtou observers who believe he is not only (he most influential member of the United States Senate, but by far the smartest member of bis party, the hardest worker, and the most courageous legislator. Taft has been called “the sym­ bol of American conservatism,” and in a way that may be correct, hut in reality he is a mlddle-of-tbe- roader who doesn’t hesitate to thunder at reactionaries of his own party to warm them, as he did last week, that Republicans must cc^pt wefare legiMation if the party is to survive, that you can't fight some­ thing with nothing, and unless something constnctive Is offered the G. O, P. will ccase to be a power in national politics.The outcome of the fight against Taft In 1950 will be witched with keen interest throughout the na. tlon, for it is almost certain that if he is re-elected be will become thr next Republican presidential no­ minee.—^Exchange. Question of Corn Drying Answered by Scientists Portable frost has enabled U. S. department of agriculture scientists to settle a corn drying question on :which farmers have disagreed. Most Ifarmers believed that corn which ihad been frosted in the field dried :more slowly than it would have 'if it had not frozen. Others dis- lagreed. It was not possible to set- •tle the question, since frost when it struck, covered a whole field.; Engineers of the bureau of plant ;industry, soils, and agricultural en- igineering developed a simple de- Ivlce for spotting a frost in a corn field. This consisted of a movable ■hood large enough to cover ten ■feet of corn row. Air within the jhood was cooled by dry ice. In two ;seasons of testing, the engineers ;have caused artificial frosts by chill­ing groups of com plants to 20 to 25 degrees for about half an hour. This had the same killing effect as a natural frost. Then it was sim­ ple to gather sample ears from the frozen rows and from rows on either side that had not been frozen. Com­ paring these two lots of ears it was clear each year that the frosted ears dried more rapidly than ears that had not been frozen. A light ■freeze speeds up drying.This applies to corn that is rea­ sonably well ripened and mature. Corn that is frozen while still high in moisture content may have a test weight lower than if allowed to mature without freezing, says the department. Study in Metals Reveals How and W hy They Break New theories as to why and how metals break, which have a bear­ing on a longer life for cut flowers and the height of giant California redwoods, have been advanced.Investigations by scientists of the General Electric research labora­ tory show that the fracture of met­ a ls begins with extremely smal! cra c k s, nuclei which grc.v intn ;i large split when enoush Isn" is applied. Prior to this invc-^' gation, it was usually ' 5 ia t th e break in the metal oc­curred instantaneously throL’::'-'','. ' the sample, the scientist?; cxp'ai"!>d.

For every tension there is a 'critical bubble or crack size. If, 'When a certain tension is applied, there are nuclei of the critical size or larger, they will grow rapidly, causing the sample to break. Fire Extinguisliers Needed It is desirable for every home to have at least one dependable fire extinguisher. The familiar water pail is probably the oldest type of ' "fire extinguisher.” Water pails are handy for so many uses and so often u-sed for other things, even when set aside for fire use, that “extinguishers’ ’ were invented which, not being useful for anything else, are more likely to be available when wanted for the emergency of a fire. Always seek the advice of your fire chief before purchasing fire extinguishers. These devices are not uniform in effectiveness. Some are designed for special situ­ ations only and for certain classes of fires. AaucUmax •PWO OLD gentlemen in wheel * chairs on the porch of a hotel got into conversation,"What’s your trouble?" asked one."Can’t walk. Got rheumatism,” replied the other. “Tried everything for it, but nothing helps.” “Then let me tell you about the wonderful Recluse of Waste Moun­tain,” the first O. G. said. “I couldn’t find a cure for rheumatism either, until five years ago I beard about this feUow . . . I fitted out a safari and crossed the Gobi Desert. Had myself carried up to the bald­est peak you ever saw. Here was this hermit, all hair and eyes, and he tooic one look at me and pointed his finger and yelled: ‘You are cured! Throw away your left crutch!’ ” “You didn’t do it, did you?” “I threw it on the ground. Then the hermit pointed at me again and yelled: ‘Now throw avia‘y your right crutch!’ ” "Did you do it?” “Yes.”“And then what happened?” “I fell flat on the ground.” BAD SIIAPE "H’m, she's got a marvelous voice, but she’d be hopeless in tele­ vision because of her figure.” “Is her figure that bad?”"Well, she once played Lady God- iva in a film and the horse stole the scene.” Embarrassing Doctor (to a young woman): “My dear, all you need is a little sun and air.” Young Lady: “Why, doctor, how can you say that?

He has otur pro- ! found sympathy, in that manifestly he has never Idssed a blonde. Deer Hunting in Pennsylvaida A million deer hunters comb Penn­sylvania’s woodlands each fall. Since 1941 they’ve driven away with 273,446 dead deer. Despite this, 60,-000 Pennsylvania deer probably will starve this winter. This is not un­ usual, nor exclusive with Pennsyl­vania. Klichigan loses 10 per cent to 70 per cent of its fawn crop this way annually. And—though a hunt­ er may spend all day in the woods without seeing a deer—a 1947 sur^ vey by three outstanding biologists showed 30 of the 48 states are both­ ered by deer-crowding. Gorgeous American Bird Wood duck is one of the .most rich­ly colored and most beautiful in the world, with only the Mandarian of China as a rival for gorgeous color­ing. Truly a bird of the North American continent, it nests from Canada to Central America and from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast, inhabiting most everj’ terri­ tory suitable to its requirements. This shy bird is almost exclusively a fresh water duck, living in the cypress swamps of the South or the peaty bogs, or along the streams of northern lakes. MATTER OF TIMING The minister was leavlnjr the church after the evening service when a member of his congrega­ tion stopped him and said: “I like to come to church when you are preaching.^’ “I’m glad to hear that,” re­ plied the minister. "It's nice to know that somebody appreciates my sermons."“Oh, It’s not that,” replied the woman. “I mean, it’s so easy to get a seat, even when I arrive late.” Likely Story “Don’t you ever change yourmind?" “Not often any more. I’ve found that I’m just as likely to be wrong on second thought as on first.” Diesel Replaces ‘Iron Horse’ Approximately one-fifth of the total weight of a modem diesel electric locomotive consists of cop­ per and copper-base alloys. This figure is many times the amount of copper and its alloys ccmtained in a steam loconaotive—the roman­tic ' “iron horse” that has served the nation’s railroadi faithfully for over a century, ever since the Tom ' Thumb, built by Peter Cooper in 11829, was given a trial run in Sep­ tember of that year. Finally the j “iron horse” is being turned out ; to green pastures as most of theI major railroads of the country turn !o diesel electric locomotives f-.r • iith fraicht and pa-E-.n^er haui.,.^ ONFBlJITFtJL The famous artist’s likeness of the magnate’s wife was not pleasing to the wealthy one. Remonstrating with the artist, he complained: “Why, you’ve got the plainest woman I ’ve ever seen on that can­ vas.” "Maybe so,” replied the painter, “but if you wanted me to paint • peach, why did you bring me • lemon?” Program for Winter Driving Although traffic is relatively light during winter months, compensa­ tion must be made for decreased visibility and icy road conditions. To offset these hazards the follow­ing program is suggested: (1) Early starts to insure completion of trips before dusk and to minimize the teniptation to drive at speeds too high for winter road conditions, (2) Moderate si>eeds at all times and sharp reductions of speeds at mter- sections, to compensate for the poorer tractions and visibility for both pedestrians and cars. (3) A generous extra margin of safety fat passing or following cars. (4) Make sure car is adequately ventilated, as a defense against drowsiness be­hind the wheel and the hazard of carbon monoxide poisoning. Sylvester Says: “ Yon, too. nay get back nothing but but­tons— campaign buttons—if you put your faith in government boreaas instead of looking out for your own future needs.” More than half (51.4%) of the families hi the U. S. haven’t waited for a Federal' housing agency to build them a home. They own their own. In fact, since the war be­ gan there has been an increase of 25% in home ownership. A year ago, in 1947 for example, two million two hundred thousand people bought homes at an aver­ age price of $7500.-S8500. 880,000 of these homes were purchased by veterans. Over 4/6 of a million of thees naw home owners earned less than ?3000. per year.

Duffy, Manager. Sunday, May 8th, was Mother’s Day. A ll over our land tribute was paid to mothers by visits of children, by speeches over radio, and by various remembrances sent to mothers bv children too far a- way from home to visit them. I am glad my work brings me in close contact with so many m oth­ ers—the young and the old ones. Today families _re scattered all over the world. The main reason for this is that we have become a highlv industralized nation and m.mbers of a family go where jobs can be found. Our security now is in our jobs and anything that affects our jobs challenges our security. To help the people meet the hazards of unemployment, old age and death, the Congress pass- ek the Social Security Act in ’35. O ld Age and Survivors Insurance is one provision of the Act. How are women—mothers—^benefitted by this program? First, a wife 65 gets monthly payments if her husband is also 65 and receiving payments. Se condly, a widow 65 receives m on­ thly payments if her husband had worked long enough in covered employment. Thirdly, a widow at any age, it she has children under 18 and was living with her hus­ band at his death, receives m onth­ ly payments not only for herself but for the children. Fourthly, a mother 65 receives monthly pay­ ments if her deceased child had worked long enough to be insur­ ed and she was chiefly dependent upon him or her for her support. And lastly, a single woman 65 gets benefits on her ovra wage re cord if she had worked long e- nough in covered employment. The most of the money being paid to bencficiaries under the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance program goes to wives, widows 65, and young widows with children. The day-to-day living of many in each of tliese classes has been made easier and happier by the sense of security the monthly pay­ ments give them. Many of those receiving payments in the area served by my office ate known to me personally. I have helped them in filing their claims, know some o f their problems and I am glad that some degree of security wzs available through their Social Se­ curity program. I wil) be in Mocksville on Wed­ nesday, May 25, !at the court house, second floor, at 1260 p. m. 1 will also be in Cooleemee pn the same date at the Erwin Cottpn M ills office at 11 a. m. THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. Atlantic Pact ‘Combed •TERSE, urgent questions affect- ^ ing our hopes for peace came boiling to the top the other day be­ hind closed doors of the senate foreign relations committee. An­swering them, the men who must implement the North Atlantic pact were kept under steady fire for 4% hours. Big, bull-voiced Senator Vanden- berg set the pace, but each senator got a load of questions off his chest. They combed the pact’s fine print for pitfalls and loopholes, and searched for hidden meanings be­tween the lines. As a result, many tough problems were plow ^ up. The chief targets in this verbal shooting gallery were Secretary of State Acheson, Secretary of De­ fense Johnson and ECA Ambassa­dor Harriman. They talked bril­ liantly, but not quite enough to please the senators. “I can’t be offhand and free about information that involves other countries.” Acheson retorted impatiently, when pressed for de­tails. .Tohnson also buttoned up during a barrage of questions on atomic energy from Senator McMahon of Connecticut. The queries were based on secret information which McMahon had learned at the Pen­ tagon, and Johnson objected to going into detail in front of com­ mittee clerks. This caused McMahon to declare that he wouldn’t support the pact if he couldn't get the information he wanted. “If the price of the senator’s vote,” bristled Johnson, “is my vio­lation of what I consider the secur­ ity of the nation, then we may have to forego the senator’s vote.” Senate Stairs Steep To add to the turmoil, the meet­ing was interrupted 13 times by roll-call votes on the senate floor. This kept the senators straggling up and down stairs to the senate floor until 71-year-old Sen. George of Georgia finally snorted in dis­ gust: “By God, I can’t go up and down those stairs any more!” And he quit the meeting. Another problem was how much to tell the press. Vandenberg was against issuing any release until the secretary of state formally pre­sented the military program to congress. The Michigan Republi­ can warned, however, that “Drew Pearson has a dictaphone bidden in here.” Later, chairman Tom Connally stamped angrily into the meeting after a trip upstairs to vote. “Somebody has already leaked the amount (of the proposed mili­ tary aid),” he thundered. “Some newspapermen told me the figtire and asked if that was correct.” Following this incident, it was agreed to release an outline of the one baiion, 130 million dollar plan to help rearm the north Atlantic treaty nations. Here are other high­ lights of the meeting.Senator Vandenberg wanted to clarify the important question of whether the pact was just another old-fashioned military alliance or a genuine instrument of collective security. He pointed out that the U. N. charter recognizes the right of nations to “collective self-de­ fense” in case of attack. The charter, however, adds in Article 51: “Measures taken by members (of, the U. N.) in the ex­ercise of this right of self-defense shall be immediately reported to the security council.”Does this mean, Vandenberg asked, that the treaty nations must report their secret defense plans to the security council—where Rus­sia has easy access? This was something none of them wanted to do, but Senator Pepper of Florida warned that the pact, itself, prom­ ised to abide by the N. U. charter. Secretary Acheson explained, however, that the only “measures” we are obliged to report to the security council are whatever meas­ ures may be taken jointly—after an armed attack occurs. Only Arms to Europe? “What I want to know,” chimed In Utah’s scholarly Sen. Elbert Thomas, “is what do you niean' by the rearmament of Europe? One thing Europe knows how to do is arm. The idea of supplying arms seems archaic unless we give them our best bombs and techniques. But if we do that, I am against the whole program. “The aim of the Atlantic pact is to bring about an atmosphere to make arms imnecessary. H we are not going to teach the processes of peace, we may as well quit now.” Another question, raised by sev­ eral senators, was whether to fur­ nish Europe with American-made arms or help the treaty nations manufacture their own arms. If the United States tries to produce all the armament needed for the allied world, the production and logistic problem, it was argued, would be terrific. But, on the other hand, platlts biult in Europe would be easy prey to the Russians and had a ready answer for this sober niiestion. ---------W f f(CIV NEWS ANALYSIS----------- Gen. Clay Out as Berlin Chief; New Rent Curb Formula Attacked; Taft-Hartley Bill Wins in Test Loyalty Queen EDITOR'S NOTE: Wben opinions aie expressed in these columns, they are those ol Vestern Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily ot this newspaper.] B E R L IN : Clay Is Done Gen. Lucius D. Clay, stormy petrel of American administration in Berlin, was relieved of his post as military commander in Germany. The action was taken at the general’s own request. CLAY, who has been widely criti­ cized for his apparent “soft” atti­ tude toward German war crimi­ nals, notably in the case of Elsa Koch, the “witch of Buchenwald,” notorious German horror camp, had frequently asked to be relieved of his command. He said he wanted to return to his home in Marietta, Ga., and “go catfishing.” Clay’s leaving would open the way for appointment of the first civilian high commissioner for Germany, something the army has been wanting for a long time. PRESIDENT TRUMAN, in mak­ ing the announcement Clay was to leave, said the general deserved the thanks of the American people for his execution “of one of the toughest tasks and accomplish­ ments of American history.” It was no secret that the Presi­dent and Dean Acheson, secretary of state, were trying to persuade John J. McCloy to take the assign­ment in Berlin. McCloy is now head of the international bank for reconstruction and development, a position which carries a $30,000, tax-free annual salary. Pending the appointment of a civilian commissioner. President Truman announced military gov­ ernment deputies and two generals would carry on Clay’s work. The United States, Britain and France have agreed to arrange­ ments for turning over civilian con­ trol to the Germans when a pro­ visional government is established for the western zones. Meanwhile, hope continued for an end, through four-power negotia­tions, of the Berlin blockade by the Russians. H O U S IN G : Nobody Pleased The government, it appeared, couldn’t please anyone in its ef­ forts to implement the newly- enacted rent control bill. Scores of landlords and tenants in New York turned out in angry confusion after Federal Housing Chief Tighe Woods announced a program for putting the new law into operation. Woods had come up with a plan which he hoped would provide owners of rental property with a “fair net operat­ ing income.” This was one thing the new law said should be done. BUT WOODS, in a personal ap­pearance in the nation’s largest city, stepped personally into a hot­bed of landlord’s inquiries. Landlords assailed the Woods formula as giving inadequate re­ lief to hard-pressed property owners. The formula was confusing be­cause it contained so many inde­ terminate factors. It was intended to produce a “net operating in­ come” of 25 to 30 per cent of gross income on some 14 million dwellings throughout the nation stiH under federal rent control. As Woods expressed belief both landlords and tenants would be happier under the new formula, a surprised murmur of laughter swept the audience which over­ flowed the 869-seat hall. Woods dashed from the meeting, .where he answered some 50 questions, to a conference with New York’s Mayor William O’Dwyer. WOODS SAID the new formula “goes right down the middle, pro­tecting landlords against rents that would deny them a fair profit and protecting tenants against being charged a higher rent than the fair net operating income allows.” Meanwhile both property owners and tenants seethed, each fearing they were being put upon by the Woods formula; landlords obviously resentful that specific rent in­ creases were not allowed, tenants bitter because of a “mixed-up” formula which they feared held nothing but bad news for them­selves. One most probable result of’the formula was that local govern­ mental units would be disposed to let existing conditions alone with­ out petitioning their governors or state legislatures for lifting of rent controls in their respective areas. NEW DRUG DISCOVERED Radio actress Mrs. Ted Steele fe shown just after she was chosen as “Miss Loyalty of 1949” in ceremonies on the steps of the U.S. snbtreasury building in New York. LA B O R L A W : Rough Going If a big league scout were re­ porting on Harry Truman’s per­formance against congressional moundsmen, he would have to say: “The President simply can’t hit fast ball pitching.” And that certainly appeared to be the case. Mr. Truman had been to bat twice already. In his turn during the Mon. C. Walgren ap­ pointment to head the national se­ curity resources board, he had struck out. Next up with his civil rights program for a bat, he struck out again. Now, with his espousal of repeal of the Taft-Hartley labor law, he was at the plate again and, with the house of representatives pitching, there were two strikes on him.FOR THE HOUSE, by a vote of 217-203 approved the Wood bffl which retained most of the features of the Taft-Hartley law. Administration forces were plunged into gloom. But a coalition of southern Democrats and north­ern Republicans were jubilant. They were bent on retaining the Taft-Hartley law largely intact, and at the moment they were vic­torious. The Wood bill woxild repeal the Taft-Hartley law on paper, but would re-enact most of ite impor­tant features. For instance, it would retain the 80-day injunction in “national emergency” strikes. It would keep the present non- Communist oath requirements, but would apply them to company of­ ficers as well as union officers. It would ban closed-shop con­ tracts, but permit them in any state which took affirmative ac­ tion to permit them by state law. SPEAKER SAM RAYBURN had made a plea to the house for a com­ promise bill he put forward in an effort to salvage part of the admin­ istration’s program, but his speech was in vain. Whatever else congress might be doing, and whatever good or ill might result, lawmakers were serv­ ing notice on presidential candi­ dates that campaign promises to enact or repeal this or that law ought to be conditipned, with the candidate making such pledges add­ing a word to the effect that those pledges would be kept “provided congress cooperates.” L E O P O L D : Wants Throne Disliking the common life, exiled King Leopold III of Belgium has made it clear he wants to return to the throne of his country. THIS was made know in a letter to his brother. Prince Charles, Belgium regent, in which Leopold said: “I am convinced you are sharing my views that the time has come for a return to constitutional nor­malcy.” That woxdd mean, of course, an end to the regency and return to kingly rule. HOWEVER, the outlook for any such development appeared dim. Leopold surrendered the Belgian forces to the Germans early in the war and became a prisoner-of-war. His action in that respect was crit­ icized by many Belgians. The ex­ king has not returned to his coun- ^ since the war. He has been liv­ ing in exile in Switzerland. Anti-Allergy Medicine Battles Colds There was new hope for cold suf­ ferers.An industrial physician reported that an anti-allergy drug has been found effective in controlling com­ mon-cold symptoms. Dr. Halstead G. Murray said that 75 per cent of 494 persons treated during early stages of colds re­ported “they were cured or had their symptoms alleviated.” The drug, pyribenzamine hydro­ chloride, was administered in 50 milligram tablets at four-hour in- tervcds at the onset of a cold. The drug is used extensively in the treatment of hay fever. It is classed as an antihistamine because it neutralizes histamine, an irritant substance released by the body in allergic reactions, allergic reactions. Checking results, testers found: G R A N D M A S : Enough's Enough Grandma was getting fed up. Enough was enough. And she was becoming vocal about it. Mrs. Lyn Greene, president of the New York chapter of the National Grandmothers’ club, was the spokesman for the grandmas, the spearhead of a drive to make grand­ma a respected member of every family. MRS. GREENE and all the other grandmas were up in arms against all the corny gags about grandmas and mother-in-law, too. They were in a crusade to ban such alleged humor from the face of the earth forever. And they held some power­ful weapons in their arsenal. . For instance, if the jokes aren’t banned, the grandmas said, there would be no more baby-sitting, no more crocheting, no more cookies and cakes. That was the grandmas’ ultimatum. Also knitting needles would stop, not. one lullaby would be hummed and daughters “going home to mother” after a tiff with their hus­ bands would have to find hotel rooms, instead. THE GRANNIES were tired of being made to appear as jabbering, ridiculous troublemakers. But the grandmas were fair about the whole thing. In return for a new status as a "sweet, lovable old dear” they would agree to mind their own knit­ ting. Mrs. Greene, a professional art­ ist, philanthropist, mother of two sons and grandmother of four small children, believes she is just the person to take the giggles out of references to grandmas. “THERE ARE STILL a few rock- ing-chair grandmas, bridge-table grandmas, and drudge grandmas who need to be reformed,” she said, but contends this reformation will never come about through silly radio and movie jokes and sillier cartoons. Eventually Mrs. Greene and the thousands of other grannies in the national organization hope to win so much respect that October 10 WiU be proclaimed as national Grandmothers’ day. H E A D A C H E S: Stop Worrying Have a lot of headaches? Well, stop worrying. That, according to a Columbia university headache study will cure your noggin knocks. THE STUDY was conducted with 531 men and women as subjects. These sufferers were given three kinds of treatment. One made use of drugs supposed to help head­ aches; another “make believe” drugs, and a third a technique in which doctors spent quite some time talldng to patients about their worries. In the first two treatments, the "make believe” potions worked al­most as well as medicines designed especially for aching heads. The patients never knew which kind of drugs they were taking. It was learned in the study that best results came from combining drugs with conversation about wor­ ries. The conversation-type of treat­ ment is known as psycho-therapy. Its purpose is to discover emotional and mental conflicts. In many cases the sufferer does not realize he has these conflicts and is likely to get better when he learns about them. HOWEVER, mere knowledge of the conflicts isn’t sufficient. The patient needs faith in his doctor to make this knowledge work. Some­ times this relief depends on how often the doctor sees the patient. 3ne-Story Home Grows in Favor ■ Plan Well Suited To Faimeis' Needs The one-story home with base­ment for the laimdry storage pur­poses and the heating plant is grow­ ing in popularity. Highly suited as a farm home because it eases housekeeping, its popularity is demonstrated by ttie number of ranch-type houses be­ing built today in both luial fmd metropolitan areas. The one-story and basement house pictured here offers features that justify the popularity of homes of t l^ type. Planned as a farm home, it includes the conveniences of modem design found in city homes. The narrow kitchen is accessible to both the dining area at one end I t ^AirMt MI rIi■ of the living room and to the dining porch. Sink and storage shelves are along the outside wall, with the stove and additional storage area on the inside wall. This arrange­ment provides numerous econo­ mies. The work room is adjacent to the dining room porch but far enough from the living and bed­rooms to confine disturbing noises, nie two bedrooms, each with two expostues, contain ample closet space and are close to the bath­room. The garage is separated from the house by a breezeway, which can also serve as an outside porch. The basement includes several ; features considered essential to ! comfortable living on a farm. It is j entered from the back porch, elim- iinating this traffic from the living area of the home. The cold room is ample for storage of glassed fruits, vegeta- ibles and other farm produce, j Plenty of electrical outlets in this I room provide current for a food ' freezing locker.

Pests Oi Those Haiming Swine I Two of the most common aiio harmful pests on hogs are Uce and mange. If insects are permitted to . teed on hogs, the animals will have stunted growth and be more sub­ject to disease, says the University of Louisiana agriciilture extension division. Farmers are reminded that by sontrolling insects they increase the value of pastures and feed and thus increase their earnings.

All Races to Have One Place to Pray for Peace . . . THEY CAN WORSHIP AND LIVE AS ALLIES By H. I. PHILLIPS PRAYER FOR D.N. CHAPEL (“The United Nations is to provide a non-denominational chapel in its new home where men of all nations may pray.”—News Item) In this small room be the cathedral, the mosque, the sjma- gogue, the temple and the parish chapel. Within these four walls wiU be the prayer-room of the world. To this place let the white man and the black man, the Christian and the Jew, the yellow man and the brown man, the Hindu, the all races and creeds—gather to Moslem and the Buddhist—men of hear the still, small voice of what­ ever God they worship. Here the representatives of all peoples shall come humbly and devoutly in tbeir separate faiths and reach understand- ingfs that will save a stricken world. Here -kt them kneel separately and at a time of their own choosing and ask their God or gods that their words and actions may never make a mockery of the precepts of whatever religion they observe and cherish. Guide them as they invoke You. Keep their minds clear and make their decisions just; rid them of suspicions, fears and hatreds. Let them never lose sight of the belief that the Supreme Being of their own faith and of all faiths loathes war and holds peace and the brotherhood of man foremost. Seldom have the representatives of peoples from the four comers of the earth been in a more dif­ ficult spot; rarely have human beings faced tasks more colossal; never have their decisions meant life or death, joy or misery, laugh­ter or tears to so many millions. Grant that they may not quibble over the detaSs of this room, its appointments or its mood. Help them realize that if men can fight and die as allies, they can worship and live as allies; that men who serve together in the same armies and navies and in the same cause can worship in the same cloister and in the same hope I -iK- Here let all men find that if there is to be one world there must be one brotherhood, one depth of devotion, one abiding confidence in a Supreme Being. Make them nnderstand that if a man is not contaminated in the use of another man’s council chambers, routines and customs in daily considerations, he can never he contaminated by the use of a common meet­ ing placc for meditation and prayer. Here may no man forget that in every faith a man of any other faith may find the essence of his own faith: The belief in divine guidance. Prayer is universal. How strange that until now those who have come together from all parts of the earth to face the most complicated problems of recorded time have failed to provide a com­ mon meeting place in which to seek guidance! Of all moments in history when men of evei^ race, color and creed needed divine council, this is the most desperate. How barren and hopeless have been these edifices of world peace without recognition of a God above! How futile these proceedings in council chambers of 100 rooms without one room for a Creator! May this quiet room be hal­ lowed! Here there is no publi­ city; here no photographers, no newsreels, no microphones, tensions. Here he may sit not as an im­ portant statesman, harassed dip­lomat or instructed agent, worried over the reactions at home, but rather as a child reaching for the hand in which he has confidence, pleading for the light, believing that nothing matters more than a cause be just. This room shall be no device of architects, blueprinters and con­ struction crews, its value to be measured in dollars; this shall be a room dedicated in the spirit of all faiths . . . a hushed chamber where every man may find the mood of his own temple. Within these walls may the United Nations see the universal altar and find that ^dance, inspiration and wisdom without which there can be no lasting peace and no brother­ hood of man.Here at last there is “room in the inn!” By INEZ GERHARD A LITTLE over two years ago two young men, a singer and a comedian, decided to form the team of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Today they are considered top entertainers, switching from night clubs to radio to movies with the greatest of ease. There is no definite format for their NBC pro­ gram on Sunday nights, except that they can be expected to show up on MARTIN AND LEWIS time. They have Just completed a Paramount pcture, “My Friend Irma” ; Martin is Jane’s romantic interest in the movie version of the radio show, and Jerry, an orange- juice salesman is his side-kick. Give them another two years and there’s no teUing what they’ll be doing! Kirk Douglas is back in Holly­ wood after a New York visit that was strictly business; he covered the swing cafes, getting back­ ground material for his first star­ ring role, in Warner Bros.’ “Young Man With a Horn.” The famous coach in which King George V made his cere­ monial drive at the Royal jVscot race meeting will be used in a sequence in Alfred Hitchcock’s “Under Capricorn.” Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cot­ ton and Michael Wilding star. Lucille Ball, of the movies and CBS’ “My Favorite Husband,” may be a glamorous star to other people, but to her bandleader hus­band, Desi Amaz, she’s “Johnny.” He gave her tlie nickname because, around their ranch, she looks like a tomboy. Her favorite “at home” togs are dungarees and an old sweater and straw hat. I MiciI rLOBlI' Barbara Stanwyck, whose au­ burn hair is now mostly a beautiful gray, refuses to dye it for films. She feels that would be dishonest! Anyway, she thinks dyed hair looks artificial and gray hair is usually becoming. The Fiction CORDIALLY DISLIKED Corner By Richard H. Wilkinson T HAVE NEVER known a man to be more wholeheartedly disliked than Henry -^afford. The reason for it is his braggartly qualities, his oversearing sense of import­ ance. We tolerate him because we like his wife, Madge, but even so our toleration is a chore. The other night I was over to the Spafford’s and sat through an hour of Henry’s bragging. It seems that the big boss in New York—Henry is em­ployed by the Jason Reid Steamship Company—called up the Philadel­ phia office where Henry works and Henry answered the phone. “Jay’s a great guy,” Henry told me, referring to the incident. “He’s asked me to run up to New York to see him a couple of times. I must remember to do that.” “Who’s Jay?” I asked. “Jay?” Why, Jason Reid, who owns the line, of course.” “Oh,” I said. “The way to get along in any business,” Henry went on, “is to let the boss know right oft he can depend on you. That’s the way I am with Jay.” I left the Spafford home an hour later, furious that I bad stayed so long, pitying Madge and dislildng Henry with a re­ newed sense of disgust. “Some­ thing,” 1 told Betty, my wife, “ought to be done about that punk. Now he’s calling Old Man Reid, Jay.” “The thing to do, Betty smiled, “is to be amused at his ravings, not annoyed. He doesn’t hurt any one, and there’s always Madge to think of.” “Even Madge,” I replied, “won’t keep me from hitting that guy one of these days. Something,” I re­ peated,- “ought to be done about him.” Whether or not my thinking obout it had anything to do with what happened a couple of days later I wiU never know. Henry was fired. Without warning or explanation he was given a couple of weeks’ pay and was bounced out on his ear. My first reaction when Betty told me about it was one of exuberance, a fiendish desire to rush over there and gloat, to sneer: “I told you so! Why don’t you call up yoiu: friend. Jay, wise guy?” But this fe'^ling passed immediately. Curiously it was followed by one of pity. The more I thought about’ it the deeper became my sympathy. What greater humiliation, 1 thought, could a man endure than this that confronted Henry Spafford? ■MEXT DAY I called Hal Wheaton and asked him to have limch with me. “Have you heard atjoiit Henry?” I asked when we were seated. Hal nodded, avoiding my eyes. “I met the poor devil on the street this morning. I don’t mind saying that it was an ordeal.” I thoughtfully lighted a cigaret. “Hal," I said, “think of Madge. Isn’t there something we can do?” “Well,” said Hal, “I’ve been wondering, too. Poor Madge.” He coughed. “I called Bob Tay­ lor of the Taylor Lines this morning. Bob says tbat he might be able to do something for Henry on our recommenda­tion.” “I guess,” I grinned, “that’s the answer.”And it was. Henry and Madge were over three days later. “I un­derstand you’ve got a new job?” I remarked to Henry. “Yes,” he said with a bored look on his face. “Bob Taylor called up as soon as he heard that I was free, and asked if I’d consider a position with him. WeU, you know when a man offers you more money—” I glanced at Betty. There was a faint smile on her face. I suppose she was amused. I hope so. Be­ cause an hour later, with Henry still blowing, I was mad enough to choke him, and almost did.

The cornerstone of this historic building was laid in 1792, but the structure was not completed imtil 1800. John Adams was the first President to occupy it and Abri- gall Adams reportedly dried the family washing in the still un­ plastered East Room on rainy days. Legendarily modeled from the Duke of Leinster’s home in Dub­ lin, the building is 170 feet long and 86 feet deep. Popularly known as the “White House,” it was painted white to cover the stains of smoke remaining from the serious damages incurred when the Brit­ish burned Washington during the War of 1812. Culls Add To Silage— Brome Silage Preferred Cull watermelons added when silage crops are run thru the cut­ ter on the Henry Poison farm in McIntosh county, Oklahoma, sup­ply some of the water that Poison formerly added to his mixture of sorgo and cowpeas, and make a good addition to the silage. James Montavon and son of De Kalb county, Ql., believe that al­ falfa brome silage is a better- balanced roughage than com si- lage: when the Montavons switched from com silage to grass silage several years ago, milk fever cases were eliminated and their Holstein milk became so yel­low customers asked if it was Jersey milk. When in doubt about how much baking powder to use, a helpful generality says one teaspoon of baking powder to each cup of flour.

Cheer up, boys, it’s only four weeks until blackberry pies will be ready for consumption. We took a 30 mile trip through the rural sections a few days ago, and prospects for a bumper crop were never brighter. The briars resem­ bled snow banks. Our hats off to the lowly blackberry— the poor man’s friend. Davie county has three news­ papers two in this town and one at Cooleemee. The Record, un­ like the other two papers, is run by a poor man who has no other income save what revenue the paper brings in. No company, corporation or wealthy individuals are behind The Record with a fat purse. When times are dull we have no one to shoulder the load and help to carry it. We have to stand or fall on our own merits. We have been in your midst 42 years and have never missed an is­ sue of the paper or come out a day ate. There is no one to dic­ tate to the editor what he shall, or shall not say, as he owns the print shop. Since taking charge of the paper, we have more than doubled the circulation. We have at all times fought for what we thought was right, and will continue to do so. let the chips fall where they may. We have doubtless offend­ ed a few people, but not inten­tionally so, while we have made many friends. We shall continue to advocate what we believe is right, and if you do not always a- gree with us our columns are al­ ways open that you may express your views. 42 Graduate The following 42 boys and girls were graduated from Mocksville High School Friday evening: Ervin Angell.

This was the eighth time that Kurfees had run for office, and the first time he has won. His fether, J. W . Kurfees, was a native of Davie County, and a brother of our townsman, J. Lee Kurfees.

Marshall Click, of Concord, was in town one day last week on busl' ness, Marshall is a former Mocks­ ville bov, but has been living in Concord for the past 25 years. B. C. Brock speaking before the Rotary Club last Tuesday, stated that Davie County would receive $342,343. for the school building fund, and of that amount $250,000 was already on hand in what is known as the cushion fund. Brock stated further that noth-j ingwas needed more in Davie County and the State of North < Carolina than better schools and. roads, and the State was at she j bottom of the Ust when it comes | to teacher loads. One school in the county had 45 students in one room and no dairy farmer would put that many calves in one room on account of health conditions. He also states that two out of three miles that school buses trav­ el are dirt roads and there was a great delay in getting the students to and from school as a result of muddy roads in the winter time, causing great danger to the lives of students. In Farmington town­ ship one bus turned completely over and injured many childzen and another skidded off the dirt road and burned up, which was a great cost to the county. He pointed out that good roads and schools go hand in hand and good school buildings are value­ less unless you have good roads leading to them. He pointed further that neither the road bond or the school bond would be an ad valorem tax on land. Davie County had already voted $800,- 000 in bonds, which is an ad- valorem tax on land and person­ al property and the Board of Edu­ cation of Davie County could re­ duce that bond issue, $342,343 and thereby be a great saving to the county on ad-valorem tax, and no part of the bond issue for roads would be and ad-valorem tax on real and personal property, and he felt that Davie County would give the greatest majority in the history to school and road bonds, and would receive $342,- 343, for schools buildings and re­ceive one m illion and 82 thous­ and for road purposes.

C. THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. m y s w m i P For Variety, Serve Birthday Pie (Se» Recipes Below) Birthday Ideas licious, and is ANYBODY CAN HAVE a birth- “ day cake, and usually does. Maybe that’s be- cause no one ever thinks of having a birth- day pie. H o w- ever, as you can see from the pic­ ture, a birthday pie is both at­ tractive and de- appropriate for carrying birthday greetings. Have you ever noticed how some­ one’s birthday creeps up on you sort of unexpectedly, too? You may have planned a pie or just fruit and cookies for dessert. ’These, too, can be decorated to suit the occasion. Then, again, it you are rushed for time, there may be some sunple dessert which will take less time than the layer cake and its elabor­ ate topping. Look through the tips I’m giving you today if you want unusual ways to celebrate birth­ days.• • • A GLAMOROUS birthday party dessert may be swished out of pre­ pared chocolate pudding, like this: Chocolate Coconut Birthday Pie 1 package prepared chocolate pudding Z cups milk Vi cup shredded coconut 1 baked S-inch pie shell2 egg v/hites4 tablespoons sugar a cup shredded coconut Prepare chocolate pudding as di­rected on package with the milk. (Reduce milk to one and three fourths cups if a thicker filling is desired.) Cool, stirring occasional­ly. Add one half cup coconut. Turn into pie shell. Beat egg whites until foamy throughout. Add sugar, one table­ spoon at a time, beating after each addition until sugar is blended. Then continue beating until mixture stands in peaks. Pile lightly on top of filling. Bake in a moderate (350°) oven for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with one-fourth cup coconut and continue baking five minutes longer, or un­til delicately browned.Candles are easily arranged on the pie if you simply melt a drop of wax on the plate and stick the candle in it. Another idea uses marshmallows for candles. In this case, candles must be small, of course, to avqid top heaviness. Here’s another idea for pie, if you want to carry out the same treatment suggested above for candle arrangement. This is a light, airy chiffon pie, butterscotch in flavor: "Butterscotch Chiffon Pie (Makes one 9-incb pie) ! baked, 9-inch pie shell 1 tablespoon plain, imflavored gelatin V4 cup water 3 eggs, separated 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed1 cup scalded milk 2 tablespoons butter ^ teaspoon saltH teaspoon vanilla extract K cup granulated sugar Soak gelatin in cold water for five minutes.

Beat the egg whites until stiff; add the granulated sugar gradually, while continuing to beat until stiff. Fold into cooked custard, then pour into pie shell. Decorate with whipped cream, if desired.• • • ANOTHER EASY WAY to take care of a birthday is to serve a delicious bowl of scoops of de­lightful, refresh- in g ice. This may be bought already made in a n y flavor de­ sired, or may be made in your re­frigerator from the following recipe: Fruited Orange Ice (Makes m quarts) 3 cups water 1 cap sugar 5 cups orange juice Vi cup lemon juice Grated rind of ^ orange 3 bananas, sliced Vi cup maraschino cherries, sliced Make a syrup by cooking the water and sugar; cool. Mix orange and lemon juices; add grated orange rind; add syrup and sweeten to taste. Freeze until mushy. Add bananas and cherries and continue to freeze until totally frozen. To serve place scoops in a large bowl. When serving a bowl of ice or ice cream, carry out the birthday theme with a plate of special cookies, each of which has a small candle in­serted through the center. ‘ Nat­urally, the cook­ ies should' be un­ usual as they are really sub­ stituting for the cake. Here are several good types from which to choose: London Bars cup sweet batter 4 tablespoons, confectioners’ sugar 2 egg yolksYi cup nouT Apricot jam Nut meringue H cup blanched, shredded al> monds /Cream butter and sugar; add egg yolks and flour. Press dough one- eighth inch tiiick into a buttered and floured pan. Bake in a hot oven un­til light brown, about 10-12 min­ utes. Remove from pan. spread with apricot jam, cover with nut meringue, sprinkle with the al­ monds and return to the oven until almonds have browned. When cold, cut into strips, tiiree inches long and one inch wide. Yoimgsters will love these new cookie treats. Use your favorite oatmeal cookie recipe, fold in one- half cup of finely cut gumdrops. There’s a real flavor surprise in every bite. Serve stew in a noodle ring, made by packing cooked noodles into a greased mold, then turning out on a chop plate and filling the center with cooked stew. Dip thin calves-liver slices in French dressing, then in bread crumbs and saute quickly in but­ ter. This is truly delicious SCRIPTIIBS: Mark 14:32.^2: Luke 22; 39-54.^^KVOTIONAL BEADING: Matthew 6: Prayer in Pain Lesson for May 29, 1949 Th e SHADOW over Gethsemane is deep. We can scarcely see the tortured figure imder the moon­ lit olive trees. If Jesus’ closest friends, in that hoinr, were strang­ ers to liis soul, we cannot dare to pen­etrate all the sec­ rets of that fateful hour. Yet while, we cannot know all, w e can know enough; enough to support us in our own time of dark- Dr. Foreman ness and of pain.Mark uses very strong language to describe the state of Jesus’ mind in Gethsemane. The 'two Greek words he uses, translated in the King James version “sore amazed” and “very heavy,” are translatedr by the Revised Standard Version “greatly distressed and troubled;” by Goodspeed, “distress and dread;” by Moffatt, “appalled and agitated.” As our hymn says, “We know not how, we can­ not teU What pams He had to bear.” Still, W e do know of some of the burdens which weighed so terribly on Jesus’ mind and heart that night.• « « Power of Darkness f^ N E THING that must have troubled our Lord was lack of sympathy. Peter, James and John were comfortably asleep, evidently without the slightest notion of what he was suffering. But there was worse than lack of sympathy, some­ where in the dark city one of Jesus’ supposed friends, the man called Judas, was even then slink­ ing through the alleys with murder in liis heart. Jesos well knew what was in store for him. He knew the San- hedrin would call him a blas­ phemer, he knew what the Romans would do with him, once they got their hands on him. Worse than this must have been the tragic sense of failure. “I woiUd, but ye woidd not,” he had said in tears to this very city; a city fuU of enemies who should have been his friends, of unbelievers who shoiUd have believed, a city he loved, but which had nothing for him but thorns and a cross.All this was on Jesus’ heart that night—and as many Christians be­ lieve, far more. Ctae of the most profound Christian thinkers has suggested that the heaviest, most painful shadow on Jesus’ wiiite soul was the sense of guilt, not his own but for the sins of the world. * * * Blood and the Angel S O JESUS PRAYED. Even in the cool spring night his forehead was covered with sweat, falling to the rocky ground like drippling blood. Never rose prayer from a more tortured heart. And what came of it? In one sense, the prayer was not answered. The cup did not pass from him, he must drink it to the last bitter dregs. The prayer did not remove the pain. Yet in a deeper sense, the prayer of Christ was fully answered. “Not as 1 will, but as Thou wilt,” he breathed. The prayer that sets one’s own will in line with the will of God, whatever His will may be, is the prayer that always fmds answer. At the end, there was not release, but power. ' “An angel came and strengthened him.” • * • What Prayer Can Do IESUS “LEARNED obedience by the things which he suffered.” (Heb. 5:8.) We can share liis les­ son. The hour of pain is not the hour to begm praying; those who have not learned prayer before, will scarcely know how to pray in a time of agony. Yet the time of pain is not the time to give up pray­ing. When the dark hour comes, Jesus did not throw aside his faith, he prayed more intensely than ever before. Prayer does not explain pain, much less explain it away. Prayer does not always get rid of pain, even .though in many cases the prayer of faith works cures where doc­ tors fail. What true prayer does always Is to set the one who prays in tune with the will of God even when that will is not as our own. Prayer does not bring us all the answers to the riddles of existence. It does bring power to bear what God sends us. For God’s answer to those he loves is not always es­ cape, but it is always endurance. Protestant denomisatioos. Beltased i WNU Feaf Peter Stoffel, Itinerant Knight of Fiddle, Tours Country in His 'Shop' Seeking Work MILWAUKEE. — William Peter Stolfel, who lives at the Elks club in MilwaiUtee when he’s at home, follows an ancient and weU loved trade—that of the itmerant knight of the fiddle. But with variations. He travels not only with his violins but with his viol^ workshop. He has a touring violin hospital. Most of his patients are violins owned by students in graded and high schools and colleges. He fixes titeir fiddles, gives them shop talk and pep talk, and does a bit of fid­ dle trading with them and their teachers to keep the Stoffel pot aboiling. It was 20 years ago that Stoffel changed over from fiddles as a hobby to fiddles as a business. He has established his portable shop and smile in hundreds of schools in Wisconsin and the rest of the nation. Playing at 8 All his life Stoffel has been a fid­ dle fan. He conies from Racine, Wis., where his father, Jacob Stof- fel, Jr., was a merchant and bank­ er, and organizer of the Racine 200. It was a musical family and V.’illiam Peter took up violin play- ir," at 8 under the well known Mil­waukee teacher Albert Fink, a puoil of the great European virtu­ oso Joseph Joachim. But William only fiddled for fun in those days. He attended grade a n d high schools a n d business coUege in Racine, and went to work for the real estate department of the old Bloodgood, Kemper & Bloodgood law firm. But business never interrupted too much with his fiddling proclivi­ ties. Even as a youth, with his father’s assistance, he took up col­ lecting, with no thought of profit, and assembled a dozen violins from the French, German a n d Italian schools. He had a discrimi­ nating touch even then, he avows. In 1927 he went to Europe and picked up a few more in Czecho­ slovakia, France and England. "Over there violin making is still a home craft, and you have to visit the little towns and the shops in the homes to pick up the authentic national product,” he explains. “When you find speci­mens from good English and Ital­ ian and Bohemian makers, you are proving that you know your stuff.” Started in Depression In t h e late 1920s he returned from another European trip and ran into the grim depression. Beal estate had little to offer in those days, so he pulled out, and sought to do something with his fiddles, of which he had a respectable collec­tion.“Madison, Wis., aims to be an intellectual and cultural town,” he mused. So to Madison he went, took a hotel suite and advertised: “Come and see my string instru­ments.” He stayed there a couple of months, did some busuiess, and then moved on to the University of Iowa, which has a music school outstanding in orchestra a n d string playing. “Let me set up shop here,” he proposed to the dean, "and I’ll service your instruments and find better instnmients for the musi­ cians.” “No, no, we’ve never done any­thing like that,” the dean replied. But at last he permitted Stoffel to take over a room in the music school if Stoffel agreed to make sales on the university’s property. “I stayed at Iowa university off and on for a couple of years, even though there was no profit in it,” he recalls. “Students have little money for such things. My first year there cost me $2,500—but I had a lot of fun, and placed a few dozen fiddles, and fixed up theil instruments, and best of all, I got a boost from the Iowa faculty. 1 got credentials that gave me ad­mittance to other schools. Smashed Violin "It wasn’t all fun, to be sore. One young fellow clumped into my workroom and pulled a string rf f i violins off the wall, and a $400 in­ strument at the bottom waa crushed. • “In talking with these young­ sters and looking over their ia- struments, I find that 90 per cent of the fiddles are not in top condi­ tion, and usually they can be put into good condition with little cost and effort—you know, proper alignment, getting the bridge and the neck and other parts straight­ ened out — just like getting the motor of your car tuned up.“Even a cheap instrument can be improved in tone and perform­ ance by proper alignment. I don’t talk dollars to these students—I talk fiddle lore, and love for the instrument, and the importance of good tone. And while I take their fiddles to my bench for a going over, I create the interest in and desire for better playing and bet­ter instruments.” TUNE IN "SUSPENSEr-tElEVlSlON lUESDAY-RADIO THURSDAY-CBS NEIWOWC ._u Year Around ill Every ^oh the * i : i l l i t i l lil Com e tires get by best on this ^ job . . . or that job . . . some pull best ia soft ground, some show up better on hard ground.

ArtiMst* Paralysis On March 14, at the direction of one man, our nation’s coal produc­tion was choked oS. More than 400,- 000 coal miners were asked to leave their jobs for two weeks to be fol­lowed by 67,000 railway employees whose jobs depended upon transport­ ing coal.The cause for this paralysis to a large section of our economy was not any grievance about working conditions, pay. pensions, or vaca­ tions. It appears, however, to result from personal dislike of one man for another. In response to the Presi­ dent’s appointment of Dr. James Boyd as director of the U.S. Bureau of Mines, John L. Lewis ordered his United Mine Workers on a two-weeks layoff.Excessive Power? Within his field, John L. Lewis pos­sesses the nearest approach to dic­ tatorial powers of anyone to appear on the American scene. He has de­fied Presidents and Congresses, crip­ pled production in the face of econ­ omic crises, and flouted the war eSort by strikes in wartime. By di­ rectly controlling the output of a basic industry, he holds power to strangle our entire economy with a prolonged strike.With this "spite” strike Lewis has encroached upon two basic funda­ mentals of our democratic progress:(1)The right of government to make appointments free of pressure, and (2) Freedom to work.Warning Sign This action presents a real danger signal to the American public. It shows what can happen when irre­sponsible leadership of a great body of influence—American labor—^goes on E rampage. The implications are alarming. If any one individual were powerful enough to dictate govern­mental appointments with threats of strikes, a new era of demagogues would indeed be at hand. Such pow­ er would be potentially disastrous.The weapon of indiscriminate strikes is one which labor leaders alone control. Neither government nor management possesses such a power. The rank and file of labor, too, because of their organization, are subject to the orders of those leaders. Many labor leaders recog­nize this situation and act in a far­ sighted manner. However, the sel­fish actions of any one leader casts unfavorable reflections on the whole movement. National Responsibility No more loyal group of American citizens exists than the miners them­selves. It is sad irony these people should suffer the brunt of the strike. According to the Associated Press, they will lose about $68 million in wages during the two week layoff. This means $68 million in food, cloth­ing, and other essentials must be forfeited to the whims of one leader who was elected by v/orkers to safe­ guard their interests. This points up sha^ly the need for adequate labor legislation. With­ out violating the rights of labor, we must draw clearly the line where those rights end and national re­sponsibility begins. The average worker has everything to gain in such legislation. Labor must be ac­ corded complete protection from ir­responsibility-found within its own leadership, or elsewhere.

Flies’ Resistance fo DDT Tested by Entomologists In many localities of California, house flies have developed such a resistance to ODT that SO times the normal amount is required to kill 95 per cent of them. That was indicated by ' experiments carried out by the University of Califor­nia college of agriculture in a search for an explanation as to why DDT no longer gives satisfac­ tory control over flies.Dr. James R.

C THEY CANT TAKE YOUR Our First Bni^ineei The beaver is not only one of the most resourceful of small animals but also one of the most industrious, and in many respects most useful. The beaver is the world's first engi­ neer, and as such, its industrial traits are valuable to man and beast. For their value as engineers, beavers often are carried to locali* ties where their kind once lived but disappeared. They are captured in large basket-like traps and trans­ported to depleted lands where beaver dams are needed. No sooner than given a new job—and they like a new undertaking — these sharp- toothed workers start gnawing down trees for dam building material. When spring rains swell the streams their dams prevent the washing away of valuable topsoil, preserve timber supply and aid in beautifying the landscape. Sylvester Says: “Excuse me! But someone just took a quarter out of your pocket.” In fact, Uncle Sam (national incomc and tax tables show) takes more than a quarter out of your pocket every time you earn a dollar.If the government spends new Billions for public housing; more billions for public medical care; ad­ ditional billions for the unemploy­ ed; more billions for maintaining farm product prices; and other millions to subsidize education in public schools—then, will the hand in your pocket take 75!^ in taxes and leave only a quarter out of each dollar you earn?
