WAaf Constitutes
Greatness?
Rev. W. K. IseDhonr. HMb Point. N. C. R4
Before answ sring this question
let us first nottce that w hich doee
not constitute greatness. A s m u "b
as we em phasize education, culture,
populr.ritv. wealth, custom a n d
fam e, that does not reallv and
tru ly conctitnte greatue&s. A great
intellect doesn't always constitute
greatness. A great intellert doesn'*t
alw ays constitute greatness, neither
does the ability to accomplish greet
things in life constitute, and re
veal to the w6rld. true greatnee.s.
M en cannot absolutely be great
and leave G od ont of their lives.
It is possible to obtain great
know ledge from o ur collegee, and
by reading books; and it is like,
wise possible to be well born, and
to have good environm ent, and to
he an expert along some line of
business, or in some profession, and
yet be far from greatness. G od is
great, and only can men be great
through the u o liftin g and w onder
fu l power of G od,
T he righteousness, godliness aud
holiness of G od in one’s life con
stitutes greatness. T his m akes one
great enough to overcome the sins
of the world and to reach heaven,
the only rightfnl hom e of the soul.
Hence the reason that godly men
have been our tru ly great m en a-
cross the ages of tim e. Too m any
want to great, and even give them.,
selves diligently that thev m ay
come great, but do not tade
Into their lives.
W e know that atheists and Infii
dels w ould m ake tun of such a
staement, but I have never heard
nf a truly great, noble, snblim e a<
theist, or infidel. T hey have neve:
gone dow n in history as absolutel'
great snd they never w ill. It
custom ary for m en to nam e thei
con« after great m en, but t
don’t nam e them after atheists and
infidels, unless It is absolutely an
exception to the rule. M ultitudes
of m en have nam ed their sons of
John W esley, but no one so far as
I know , has ever nam od his son
after the infidel Voltaire,

«PWO men had spent a Joyous
^ evening together in town, and
with the generosity occasioned by
good cheer one insisted on taking
the other home with him.
They caught the last train to
Waybridge. On reaching that town
they found no conveyance at the
station to help thcrr. farther on their
way, so they set out on foot.
After walking for half an hour, the
host stopped and, turning to his
friend, said: “ George, old m an.
I ’m sorry. I mu.st ’pologize.”
“Not at all, Harry, not at ail,”
reidied his friend. “H ad a glorious
evenin’.”
To which Harry retorted: “ Yes,
George, m ust ’pologize. Fact is. we
moved last w e ^ : We’re living at
W imbledon now.”
THE OLD O IL
lilicrowave tech n old^, bom of
wartim e -radar, has given science
a new technique for studying mo
lecular structure. Molecular ab
sorption, the most accurate method
of determ ining dimensions and
atomic constituents of molecules,
has always been lim ited by the re
solving power which could be at
tained w ith infrared absorption me
thods. New electronic techniques
in the microwave region have in
creased the resolving power several
hundredfold. Source of this micro
wave power is a timable velocity-
modulated oscillator, generating a
band of frequencies around 24,000
megacycles.
Bacteria fai W ater
A way of killing bacteria in m ilk
or water without heat or chemi
cals is being investigated at the
University of Illinois. The method is
to use ultrasonic waves—sownd
pitched above the ability of the hu-
m nn ear to hear. If successful, it
m ay elihiinate use of chlorine or
other chemicals which leave ^a
taste in water when added to kill
bacteria, or of heat-sterilizing m ilk,
which sometimes chan^'es the fla
vor. Bacteria-free m ilk m ight be
stored without refrigeration. The
cost m ay be less than present
methods.

World’s L i^ te s t Solid
In their search for better insu

concocted a solid that is ev «i
lighter than some gases. A plastic
foam tha: swells to 100 times its
original volume when baked like a
cake, the new m aterial is 10 to 20
times lighter than the fluffiest pie
meringue. Engineers expect it to
insulate such things as household
refrigerators and prefabricated houses. ,

JU ST W ANTED TO KNOW
One night at a theatre a m an who
had d in ^ rather too well stood
up in his seat in the middle of the
play and cried: “Is there a doctor
in tte house?”
The actors faltered slightly, but
the play went bravely on.
A m om ent later, the same man,
stiU standing; repeated his ques
tion.
A t this second call another m an
rose and said, “ Yes, I ’m a doc
tor,” whereupon the other nearly
finished off the performance by
asking in a tone of great good na
ture:—
"H ow do you like the show, D oe?"
Action, Please
Annoyed with the progress of a
certain scene, Movie Director Greg

and threw his hat violently to the
ground.
“ Get me some ballet dancersl"
he roared.
"B allet dancers?” repeated the
bewildered script girl. “ The script
doesn’t call for any ballet dancers.”
“I know,” thundered the angry
Ratoff, “ but I ’m going to have
someone on his toes around here!”

scholars have generally agreed
that his last descendant was

Our County And
Social Security
By Mrs. Ruth, G. Dufiy. Manager.
Today an understanding of hu
man nature may be as important
to a successful business as famUi-
arity with technical phases. Among
the Actors which go into the ma
king of good employer-employee
relations there is one which has
increased considerably during re
cent years. It is a growing sense
of economic security on the part
of the worker. The employee who
has this—not only for the imme
diate future'but on a long range
basis, enjoys greater freedom from
worry, which results in more ef
ficiency. ■
Employers and employees have
a common interest in Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance. Employ
ers who pay half the cost of the
Federal Insurance hav^ a legiti*
mate interest in stressing the sig-
nifieence of the program lO their
employees a^id cummunities at
large. O n the other hand, em
ployees who leam of their rights
under Social Security from their
employers and see that they are
cooperating in making the system
work, appreciate thisiinterest. Em
ployers can help their employees
by following a few suggestions:
1. Help to develop the employ
ee’s understanding of his rights
and obligations under the Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance program,
2. Help to reduce Social Secur
ity benefit losses suffered by retir
ed employees and families of de
ceased workers by encouraging
die employee as he nears 65, to
discuss with the Social Security
representative his stake in the pro
gram, and by referring families of
deceased employees to their Social
Security office.
3. Help to insure complete and
accurate accounts of wages for So-^
cial Security purposes by
employee’s name and account No.^
exactly as they are on his card.
Future benefits are based on the
wage record.
4. Help to safeguard Social Se
curity Cards. One account num
ber identifies an individual’s wage
record throughout his working
life. The card is needed if the
holder should change his job, file
adaimfor unemployment com
pensation, apply for Old-Age be
nefits, and when his family files a claim for survivors’ benefits.
The above suggestions point to
ways of making Social Security a
factor in good business relations.
Thev are designed to protect the
ri^ ts and benefits of employees
and their femilies.

Benzedrine Banned
»PHE HALT of America’s new A dope craze when manufactur
ers withdrew benzedrine inhalers
from the market was the culmination of a long publicity campaign
by Drew Pearson.Working with Congressman
George Grant of Montgomery, Ala., Pearson published a series of col
umns and broadcasts beginning last February, which pointed to the
manner in which prison inmates, dope addicts and even high-school
children were tearing the benzedrine-treated paper from the in
halers and using it as a cheap dope. Simultaneously, Rep. Grant
introduced a bill banning the inhalers.Final result came when manufacturers stopped the sale of ben
zedrine inhalers. Instead they will sell benzedrex, a new inhaler con
taining a non-stimulating com, pound.
Diplomats Worried
One thing the Senate investiga
ting subcommittee is likely to
avoid in its probe of Messrs. Vaughan and Maragon is the part they may have played in influencing the Truman doctrine for
Greece.
It seems inconceivable ttiat an ex-Greek federal narcotics
agent from Kansas City should have had anything to do with
U. S. foreign relations. Tet it happens that members of the Greek embassy Jn Washington are now as jittery as sunflow
ers in a Kansas cyclone for fear their relations with John Maragon w ill be probed by the
senate.
Every administration has its
hangers-on, who lo»c to bask in the lim elight of the' White House. But no administration since Warren Harding’s day has had aie benefit
of such a weird and apparently influential character as General
Vaughan’s so-called “Greek ad viser,” John Maragon.
Maragon’s Record
District of Columbia’s police records show that Maragon once pled
guilty of transporting liquor (7/17/20), was three times arrested for disorderly conduct but never
prosecuted, and once got into a brawl in the locker room of the
Washington Senators where some of the ball players threatened to
beat him up.Maragon also got into a fist fight with Don Watson, chief of the state
department’s transportation section at the United Nations convention at San Francisco; was fired by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad; got
into a street scuffle with Brig.
Gen. Wm. L. Lee in Rome, Italy; was found to be distributing anti- Semitic literature at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia
last year; and was questioned in the death of police detective Arthur Scrivner in 1926, one of Washington’s most mysterious homicide
cases. Maragon established an alibi and later married the girl whom Scriviner was scheduled to marry one day after his death.
Xet, on top of all this, the amazing Maragon turned up at the White House 30 minutes
after President Roosevelt died to console President Truman, accompanied the Roosevelt funeral train to Hyde Park;
showed up at the Stalin-Church- Ill conference in Potsdam, was
tbs proud possessor of a White
Bou&e pass, flabbergasted the admirals b y accompanying
Truman on the presidential destroyer during the Navy
Day fleet review In New York, sat next to the President’s box T/ith General Vaughan during
the Army-Navy game, and even had a private compart
ment on the special train that Cdiiled the President to the
game.
Maragon’s influence with his old friend, Harry Truman, has been 0-1 the wane since first exposed in this column two years ago. But
his influence with Harry Vaughan appears just as strong as ever. \%en Maragon wants to see the president’s m ilitary aide, he goes
to the east wing of the White House,
Truman Doctrine
Maragon’s influence was near its zenith in the winter of 1947 when
the famous Truman doctrine for aid to Greece was formulated.
That the amazing Maragon directly inspired Greek policy is
doubtful. That he and Vaughan influenced it indirectly is more than probable.
The Truman doctrine for Greece, it w ill be recalled, was announced in March, 1947, shortly after Jim m ie Byrnes retired as secretary
of state. One of the things Gen. Vaughan constantly needled Tru
m an about was that Byrnes was too
much his own boss, that people talked on the “Byrnes policy,” not the “Truman policy,” and that Truman should get more credit for directing foreign affairs.
That doctrine, which has now cost us a billion dollars, was pre
cipitated when the British notified us they were pulling out of Greece. |

Deep Freeze Gifts *011111’ Demos;
Senate Kills Welfare Setup Plan;
Taft Is Target of AFL Vote Drive
« £ D lT O B *S N O T E : W hen opinions are expressed in (liese columns, they are those oi Western New spaper U nion's news analysts and not neeessarlljr of this newspaper,#
DEEPFREEZE:
Capitol 'Chilled'
To paraphrase an old tune, it was
“January in June” in'W ashington as the story of the gifts of the home freezer imits unfolded and
expanded. Finally, the sordid angles of the “5 per centers” op
erations reached to the White House.
WITNESSES before a group
probing the extent and results of ’influence” obtainable by the “5 per centers” testified that of several deep freeze units given
away by the manufacturers, one went to Mrs. Harry Truman, wife of the President of the United States. Others who apparently re
ceived a sim ilar gift were Chief Justice Vinson of the U.S. supreme
court, Jam es K. Vardaman, M aj. Gen. H a i^ H. Vaughan, M r. Tru
m an’s m ilitary aide. In fact. General Vaughan got two, so the wit
ness said. ‘
In connection with that development, there was a question which
it seemed should have been answered long ago by the m an most
concerned. The m an was P’resi- dent Truman. The question was:
Why hasn’t the President declared that White House influence and
prestige are not for sale, cannot be wheedled by favorite hangers-
on, and cannot be swayed by any
thing except the best interests of the people of the United States?ANY FAIR-MINDED citizen w ill
concede that there is no reason to
think the acceptance of the gifts mentioned involved any law violation. Even though the company which paid the bills for the home
freezers is linked with the ubiquitous John Maragon and the inquiry into the activities of “5 per
centers” the mere fact of receiving personal gifts does not consti
tute legal offense.In any sense of the word, it seems to be an offense against propriety. It is further evidence of
a downward trend in political morals, a not too new development in these changing times. On the evidence at hand thus far, the deep
freeze affair is not important—it is merely symptomatic.
ELECTIONS:
T aft Is T arget
The American Federation of La
bor, looking to the 1950 congressional elections, set plans for rais
ing a m illion dollar war chest with
wMch to knock off candidates obnoxious to the organization.
THE M ILLION DOLLAR figure was the “m inim um ” officials said,
with a voluntary contribution of $2 a head to be asked of the federa
tion’s members for work in the 1950 campaign.
It was no secret that Ohio’s Sen
ator Taft was the m ain target of AFL efforts, with the second target being Senator Donnell (R ., Mo.) who was described by AFL’s W illiam Green as “more like Taft
than anyone in the senate.”The per capita contribiition,
double that of the organization for the 1948 elections, w ill be split evenly with the state federations whose share is to be used in working at the precinct level.
AFL’s election activity w ill have an important bearing on the future
of the Republican party in the nation. For instance, if Taft should
be knocked off in his, race for re- election to the senate, it would
mean that Dewey would rem ain as a top figure in the GOP hierarchy.
On the other hand, if Taft should win and Dewey were defeated in a bid for his third term as New York’s governor, the party would
be an Taft’s

for robbers.
WELFARE:
No Cabinet Status
The senate was having none of President Truman’s proposal for
creation of a federal department of welfare with cabinet status. A
coalition of Republicans and southern Democrats dealt the project a
pulverizing blow by a vote of 60
to 32.WITH a constitutional m ajority in either house able to veto any
such plan, the senate action meant complete and final defeat of the
plan to transform the federal security agency, which handles the na
tion’s education, health, and social security functions, into a department of welfare.This proposal stemmed from the
recommendations of the Hoover commission which spent two years

denying the Republicans we: pudiating Hoover in opposi
plan they believed ran coun the Hoover commission recom' dations, declared;
“I believe very strongly tha Hoover was misled.”This led Senator Lucas, Illij

Hoover in this manner.”
'THOUGHT'LAW:
Held too Broad ’
The fallacy of attempting to deal
with ideologies through laws has been highlighted by a Maryland
circuit judge. The judge, Joseph Sherbow of Baltimore, ruled that
the state cannot punish a person for what that person thinks.The opinion was given in a case involving a state law against people who join or work with subver
sive organizations. It was the first courts test of the new law that required loyalty oaths by public employees and candidates for office.
“ The supreme court,” Judge Sherbow said in his opinion, “has made it clear that laws m ay punish acts and conduct which clearly,
seriously and imminently threaten substantive evUs.
“They (the laws) m ay not intrude into the realm of ideas, re
ligious and political beliefs, and opinions. The law deals with overt acts, not thoughts. It may punish
for acting, but not for thinking.” The law which Judge Sherbow
tossed out did not specifically ban the Communist party. Its preamble
said com m unis^ is a dangerous, world-wide conspiracy that fits the definition of subversive activity. Anything that aims at the over
throw of this government by force was deemed subversive.

BARKLEY:
"Much Ado . . ."
Although he had declared It was
“much ado about nothing,” the nation wasn’t dismissing Vice-
President Barkley’s seeming romance with a pretty 37-year old
widow so lightly.
RECEIVIN G almost as much
publicity as the R ita Hayworth— Aly Khan love story, Barkley’s attentions to Mrs. Carlton S. Hadley, St. Louis, was second only to the “5 per center” probe as a topic of national speculaf'''-The “Veep”—as Barkley likes to
be called—didn’t seem too distressed by all the furore. He was
sm ilingly posing with the widow for pictures; he had taken her to
“meet the folks” in his home town of Paducah, Ky., and he had
squired her to some baseball games and social affairs.
WOULD H E and the widow get
married? Most folks seemed to think so. And, if that were current
opinion, it was touched off by the “Veep” himself. Newspaper read
ers would remember that, crowning a beauty queen at Culpepper,
Virginia, Barkley had declared” that one day he would crown a “queen” of his own. The fact that later, at Paducah, he referred to
his granddaughter as being the “ queen” to whom he referred, few people believed him .
MacARTHUR:
Problem for Truman
No m atter how the Truman ad
m inistration plays it, Gen. Douglas MacArthur is a tremendous public relations problem.THE GENERAL has twice de
clined the invitation to appear before senate committees, the second
refusal being in conncetion with a bid to come home and tell a probe
group what he thinks about the Chinese situation. The general re
plied that he thought he could do better staying in Japan.
Of course, President Truman could order the general home, but
if he did so, and MacArthur accepted the order, both the White
House and the state department would be in a constant case of jitters over what the 69-year-old prim a donna might say in speeches throughout the country.
If the President chooses not to order the general home, then his critics wUl have fuel for added clamor that MacArthur is being
isolated and persecuted.APPARENTLY, no one seems to know the procedure in the event MacArthur refi

who m ight have expected anything else was indulging in wishful thinking.
SOME EXCITEMENT was stimulated by Kirk’s refusal to com' m ent immediately upon his inter
view with Stalin. He told reporters following the conference that he’d have something to say later.
The , ambassador, a retired adm iral and former envoy to Bel

has had in nearly a year. He described his visit to Stalin as a

TOO MUCH WHEAT?
Problem of Farm Price Support Mounting
It m ight be an unpleasant task,
but an inescapable, one—the demand for wheat was falling off. That was the conclusion of the National Industrial Conference
Board.This organization reported that
total domestic consumption for the year beginning July was expected
to be lower than at any tim e since 1941.
At the same time, wheat stocks in all storage positions on April 1 were greater than in any other April with the exception of 1942 and 1943.
In addition, the 1948-49 wheat harvest may be the third largest in history. V/ith the U. S.. already holding more than a quarter of last
year’s wheat crop, farm price support was becoming a m ajor nation

Wishing Won't
Make It So
By Lawrence Gould
“Is it morbid to feel you are useless”?
Answer: It is certainly not mor
bid to wish you could be of more use to your fam ily and to society, provided you don’t just “take it
out in wishing,” for you cannot enjoy normal self-esteem unless you
feel that you are of value to somebody besides yourself. But there is
a morbid or neurotic sense of uselessness which is m ainly an expres
sion of self-pity, since it grows out of a feeling that you’ve never been
appreciated or given a chance to show your real worth. You may also ignore m inor ways of being useful because your pride demands
big ones.
Can delinquency be foreseen?
Answer: Yes, says Dr. Kate
Prienlander, British child psychiatrist. Children whose essential at
titude is “anti-social” a ll have one characteristic: inability to wait for
ratificatio n of their desires, which t turn springs from the fact that
they have never felt sure anyone
would love them and take care that
their needs were supplied. The life histories of these potential delin
quents show that there has generally been some serious disturbance
of their home lives during their
first five years which prevented norm al character development.
Is psychosomatic medicine
misanderstood?
Answer: Sometimes rather dangerously. Because disease is an unpleasant fact and most people try to find an excuse for ignoring such
facts, the idea that much disease starts in the m ind is twisted into
the belief that a “psychosomatic illness” is im aginary and can safely be neglected. But as a friend writes: “A person m ay develop tuberculosis because he is unhappy,
but he m ay also be dead if he does not seek medical treatment for it.” Even solving an emotional problem
w ill not always undo the harm it has done. That needs separate
treatment.

KEEPING HEALTHY
Teeih May Cause Heart Disease
By Dr. Jam es W . Barton
SOME YEARS AGO an old boy
hood friend called me up M d asked me if there was anything
that could be done for his 12-year-
old boy who had heart disease. He told me that his fam ily doctor had
called in a heart specialist who said nothing could be done.
However, since I was an old
friend he thought I m ight know of something. I had to adm it that in
this type of heart disease, inflam mation of the lining of the heart,
endocarditis, once the inflam m ation was under way, rest was the only known treatment. The boy
died a few days later.
Today physicians are not helpless in the treatment of endocarditis,
now that we have penicillin and streptomycin which render these
dangerous organisms harmless.
These organisms, as do m any other dangerous organisms, the strepto
cocci, start in infected teeth and tonsils. Thus, instead of all these
cases of endocarditis dying, the m ajority of them are saved. Unless they allow infected teeth, ton
sils or other parts to rem ain in the body they w ill live many years.
Because an inflam m ation in the
lining of the heart can do a lot of
damage to the valves of the heart
in a short time, heart specialists
advise proper dosage of penicillin
into a vein at once. While streptomycin is also effective, reactions
to streptomycin occur in some patients so penicillin is the treatment of choice.
In “Modern Medicine of Canada,” Dr. Leo Loewe, assistant pro
fessor of clinical medicine. Long Island coUege of medicine, warns patients and fam ilies of the danger of further attacks of endocarditis
despite the fact that an eight weeks’ course of penicillin cures
the great m ajority of cases. He reports a series of 33 dangerous cases
in which 81 per cent were cured by penicillin.
To prevent further attacks Dr. Loewe and his associates state that they early recognized the danger
of infection as a cause of new attacks and following attacks. Dental
infections are particularly notorious as planting the seed of infection
in the blood stream. It is danger- ous to try to continue to keep in
fected teeth; heart disease and rheumatic fever may result.
When the pain of a headache is at the top of the head, it m ay be caused by thin blood, mental and
physical tiredness (neurasthenia), hysteria, and diseases of the blad
der and the generative organs.* * •
Emotions can increase or decrease the flow of digestive juices and the regularity or irregidarity of the heart beat.
More than half of all patients
with heart diseases w ill have heart failure during their lifetim e. W ith
the first sign of heart failure, the physician now takes a long time
view and plans the patient’s method of living for years ahead.
One of the symptoms now known to be caused by the emotions ia
pruritis, or itching.

Jesus and the Psalms
Lesson for September 11, 1949
C O M E parts of the Old Testament
^ Jesus never once mentioned. Others he quoted again and again. Could this be because some parts
were more helpful to him than others? At any rate, the Psalms
were one section of his Bible which he often quoted.
the
Worship
ONE tTse Jesus made of
Psalms was in public wor
ship. Whenever he went to the Temple he would join in smgmg
or in listening to
the great choirs singing these an
cient hymns. Many best- while transbased
F o r
Df our own
loved hymns, not direct
lations, are on Psalms, example. “S t i 11,
StiU W ith Thee”
is from . Psalm 16;God Is My Strong Salvation” from Psalm 27; "The
King of Love” from Psalm 23; “O Worship the King” from Psalms 104.
In private worship also we know Jesus used the Psalms. One of the
Hebrew names for them was “The Book of Prayers,” and Jesus, like
many another who has loved these Psalms, found in them the natural expression of what was deepest in his heart when he turned toward
his Father in heaven.
’ A striking proof ot this
comes from the story of Calvary. The cry, “My God, why hast thou forsaken me?” is a
quotation from Psalm 22:1, and “ into thy hands I commend
my spirit” is from Psalm 31:5.
Thus, two out of three prayers he uttered in his last moments
were from the Psalms. So the reader today, pondering in a quiet
moment these im m ortal poems,
either from the printed book or better yet, as Jesus did, from the
treasures of memory, may often find in ^hem prayers which seem breathed from his own m ind and to which he need only say, Amen. * •
Truth about God
JESUS also found in the Psalms
a revelation of truth. It would
be too much to say that Jesus derived his ideas of God from the
Psalms. But certainly some of the great teachings about God which
we hear from Jesus we can read already in the Psalms.
Jesus did not use Qie Psalms stupidly, of coarse. He would never have supposed that yon
could take just any sentence about God out of some Psalm or other, and quote It as the , last word about God.
For instance, during his tempta
tions the thought was suggested to him that he could jum p oft a
high building and not be hurt; had not God promised just that in a Psalm? Now it is true that Psalm
91:9-12 does say that God w ill keep you from “dashing your foot against
a stone” but Jesus knew that does not mean that God w ill guarantee
to keep you out of trouble or harm no m atter how foolish you are!* • •
Christ in the Psalms
JESUS found in the Psalms also
prophecies. There is a rather thin line between illustration and prophecy.For instance, when the Jerts-
alem boys and girls were making such a noisy welcome for him , and the dignified priests were protesting, Jesus quoted Psalm 8:2 in de
fense of the children: “Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise.”
Did he mean fiiat the Psalmist had predicted that very occasion, or did he mean that the Psalm expressed a tm tb always good?
At all events, we do know that Jesus often took a Psalm, or a part
of one, as a prophetic picture of
himself. He knew himself to be the true King of Mankind, “the Lord’s
Anointed,” as his use of Psahn 110:1 plainly shows.
Yet he also knew that he must pass through suffering to his
throne (Luke 24:26). When the leaders of his people rejected him
he was not surprised, for he thought at once of Psalm 118:22-23. When he hung on the cross, and
saw the soldiers gambling for his clothes, Psalm 22:16-18 would surely come into his mind.
And can we doubt that in his last
agonies, one who knew the Psalms so well would not have remembered also the later lines from the same prophetic Psalm ? It begins with
the tragic question—Why? But it rises to a song of triumph—“When he cried imto him , he, heard!”

Serve Good Breakfasts for Play-Packed Days
(See Recipes Below)
B reakfast Essentials
THOUGH IT’S “SUMMER time
and the livin’ is easy,” many of us find the season just like the rest of the year, busy and activity packed. With youngsters out of school, full of
vigor and ready to play at top speed just as
soon as the sun is up, days start early and are full, for mother
as well as the youngsters.
Since young- sters are up bright and early,
eager to get out of the house to the fascinating work of play as quickly as possible, mother has to
keep on her toes to see that they get a good breakfast. Children
bum a lot of energy on days when they can play as they want, and
they should be properly fortified with nutritious food.
Good breakfasts are simple and easy to prepare. The m eal should
include at least these five essentials; fruit, cereal with m ilk, bread,
butter and a beverage, which for
yotmgsters should be m ilk or cocca.You may add to these essentials bacon, eggs, ham , sausage,
creamed chipped beef and such things, but at least you know that
you’ll be doing a good job with the five “musts.”
Vary breakfast cereals to keep Interest at a high level. A bowl of hot oatmeal, rich in body-building
proteins, thiam ine, niacin and iron,
can be just as tempting in warm weather as cool if topped with cold m ilk and some of the season’s
fresh and choice fruit.
The next day serve a prepared cereal, then switch back to cooked cereal and so forth.

. . . THE 'STARCH' OUT OF PHILLIPS
By H. I. PHILLIPS
•NO STARCH'
«>PH EY STARCHED my shirts
^ again,” we said to toe wife. "W ell, don’t say it so accusingly ,” she replied. “I didn’t do it. It’s
the laundry.”
“But the laundry has been told
again and again not to put any
starch in ’em ," we said." I ’m all in from repeating the word ‘No starch’ to it,” said the
wife.
“What does the laundry say?”
“It says ‘O. K .I No starch.’ ” “And back it comes starched
in technicolor, with the collars on summer shirts as hard as lawn-mower blades, and the
cuffs so bard yon have to button them with a chisel and
ham mer. Why don’t we change laundries?” we moaned.
“H ah!” snorted the missus.
^ GRACE NOU CROW ELL^
The Everlasting Arms
^R O U N D me and about me and beneath me.
Closer than breathing, doser than any
friend,
The everlasting arms draw near to shield me.
To comfort and to keep me to the end.
Earthly arms grow weary-in their holding.
Earthly arms may fail the weight th ^ bear.
But oh, these everlasting arms, enfolding.
Have never one brief moment failed roe there.
I wake each morning in dieir bless^ keeping,
1 rise to serve, or wait his blessed will.
Life passes—whether waking, whether sleeping
God’s everlasting arms w ill hold me still.
“Change ’em and what do you
get?”“More starch,” we suggested.
“Exactly! The laundries or the laundry workers are in a great nation^ conspiracy in restraint of
soft collars and cuffs. They are in a secret society dedicated to the use of starch. Their motto is ‘Yott’ll
take starch and like it!’ ”• • •
We resolved to investigate. We spread our shirts amogg different
laundries. Our routine was the same -it each laundry.
“Does this laundry do shirts
without starching them ?” we asked.“Certainly. A ll you gotta do is specify you don’t want no starch,
mister.”“I so specify. Do you want it in
writing?”“Naw. I ’ll put a note on it ‘no
starch.’ Then it goes through and comes out with no starch.”
‘.‘I’ve been putting notes ‘no starch’ on my shirts for years,”
we said.The laundryman looked sur
prised. “I can’t remember that,” he said. "Are you sure
they came back starched?” “liook at my neck. You think those red circles are from
rope?” we demanded.• « *
“Some laundries are careless,
you know how it is. With us when a customer says no starch he gets
no starch. We got a system.” "W hat is it?”
“We have a starch department and a no-starch department. AH the stuff that don’t want starch
goes to the starch department. Also we got a starch superintend
ent and a no-starch superintendent. And on top of that we got starch
and no-starch classification clerks and inspectors. Here’s something
else, we don’t use much starch anyhow, even if you ask for
starch.”
"So these shirts w ill come back with no starch then?”
“You may take my starch—beg pardon—my word for it.”
“Positively no starch!”
“Positively!” n ie laundry came back in a few days. We felt confident and
carefree as we opened it. Then
we leaped through the secondstory window.
“I know,” called the wife, looking out, "Starch!”
“Starch,” we admitted, crawling from the shrubbery, cut and bleed, ing.• • •

College courses by television are

And get minkskins instead of sheepskins.— ---
We can see it aU now . . . the

But a lot of people have felt that our educational system flickered
too much as it is.
Personally we feel that education hasn’t been dramatic
enough. A jackpot conid have helped us through ancient his
tory. And we are positive that we would have done better under our professors if they had introduced puppets in th e Latin, French and mathematics courses.
We just had to get an education, such as it was, by study. We had no outside aerial.
But now we are entering an era
when ignorance may be easily attributed to the fact that the set was connected up poorly and lacked a “booster.”— SJ—

a little dependent on fuses and you m ay find that your low scholarship resulted from a sm all screen.• * •

WHEN DOUG PBIN GLE signed
a contract to illustrate stories
for Midweek Fiction magazine at a figure that surpassed any amoimt
he had earned in the rather uncertain past, he felt that he had_ reached a mile-
. . . stone in his ca-O • M inute reer.
d FIMinn “Now,” he de- ^ dared to h is
wife, Aggie,
“we can begin to have a few of the
things we’ve been doing without for the past seven years.”
“And the first thing we’ll have” Aggie told him , "w ill be a nifce
little camp on Spur Lake where
you can work am id surroundings that you love and where, accordingly, things w ill be easier for both
of us.”
“The camp,” he told her
gravely, “w ill come immedi
ately after Mrs. Pringle has replenished her wardrobe.”
It turned out that Aggie could
have her new clothes and they could purchase the camp and not
feel too extravagant. They went up to Spur Lake the following week and talked to a real estate agent.
They had been there many times before. They knew just what they
wanted for a camp site and where they wanted it. That afternoon the real estate agent made the easiest
sale he’d transacted in years.
The Pringles sat down and made up a schedule of guests for week
ends. They wanted to have company. This was the first tim e they
had lived in a place big enough to hold guests conveniently. They were eager to share their posses
sion.
And so two weeks later the first guests arrived. Doug and Aggie
slept in the work room and everything was fine. All hands had a
swell time. The guests departed in high enthusiasm. In fact, their en
thusiasm apparently bubbled over, for in the middle of the following
week some friends dropped in who had “heard so much about the Cute
little camp the Pringles had bought.” Aggie and Doug asked
them to stay over night and they did.The summer hadn’t progressed
very far when Doug decided they ought to turn the present work
shop into another bedroom.“I ’ll build a studio for myself down by the lake. It seems there
are a lot of people who are just Gosh! After all, I’m a working
dying to see our cute little camp, m an.”
It’s fun having guests, though,” Aggie said.“Sure,” Doug a^eed.
So the Pringles built a studio lor
Doug, a rather attractive building that added to the general outlay. He moved into it with all his equipment—and the next week-end Aggie moved in with him .
In August the Hollands ar
rived. The Hollands were bores. Steve Holland belonged to
Doug’s golf club. They were friends of some of the Pringles’
friends.
U O W E V E R , they arrived and
Mrs. Holland spied the studio and wanted to look at i t Aggie smiled wearily. She was getting
used to this sort of thing. She led them down to Doug’s workshop and
Mrs. HoUand peeked inside.
“Why, there’s no one there!” she exclaimed.
Aggie nodded. “Doug’s away. On
business.”
The Hollands were disappointed at not being able to see the artist at work, but there was nothing
they could do about it. They departed shortly after.
A t dinner time Doug came home. He was in high spirits.
“I ’ve found Just the place 1 wanted. A room right in the
heart of Goodirin’s business district. Plenty of noise and
dust—a place where a m an can do a real day’s work without
being bothered.”
Aggie smiled fondly.
“The Brants are arriving tomor
row.”
“Swell!” said Doug. “Show them
the works and teU them I ’m away —on business.”

Health Unaffected
By Soil Fertility
Status Of Land
Not Disease Cause
Any statement that cancer, arthritis or heart disease are increas
ing because the foods we eat are raised on mineral-starved land is
hokum according to specialists on
the subject.
An article in Successful Farm ing magazine contends there is more
oratory than knowledge about the effects of soil fertility on human health. The experts talked to doc
tors of the soil, doctors of plants, doctors of humans, nutrition ex
perts and evangelists who say we are facing “race suicide.”
It was pointed out that heart disease is often linked to diet, but not
because food is of poor quality. Rather stoutness and heart disease
show a correlation.
As to arthritis and cancer, m illions w ill call you blessed if you can
show definitely how to stop them through diet. Meanwhile, it is dishonest to give the false hope that soil treatment can cure these dis
eases.
Other myths blasted in the arti
cle are (1) that the baby won’t have good bones if its form ula is made of m ilk from a cow whose feed was deficient in phosphorus
and calcium ; (2) that the adult won’t build muscle and blood from beefsteak devoid of protein-building minerals and iron; (3) that all
chemical fertilizers are poison and that compost and earthworms are
the only means of soil enrichment we should use, and (4) that we are
being starved to death because the grains, fruits and vegetables we
eat come from soils which lack
needed minerals.
Discussing starvation from a m ineral deficiency in foods, it is
asked why we have a generation- by-generation increase in the size of the bony structure of our young
people if we are mineral-starved.
So far as scientists know, m an needs some 12 m ineral elements
for growth. Rum inant anim als need cobalt, to make 13. Plants also need 13 m ineral elements, 11
of them the same as needed for man and anim als. Except for co
balt and iodine, plants won’t grow unless a ll the man-needed minerals
are present, according to the article.
As to statements that some m ilk is low in phosphorus and calcium, it is said a cow w ill take calcium from her own bones and put it in
her m ilk if her diet is low in calcium . As that supply runs low, she w ill give less and less m ilk. But it w ill contain honest weight in m in
erals. When her m ineral supply
Is gone, she quits giving m ilk and often dies from the effects of robbing her body.
A fertilized farm w ill produce more m ilk than one unfertilized —
but not better m ilk. That’s because
it produces more grass. There is no evidence to prove the grass fa
any better, blade for blade.

Contour Crop Plantings
Saves Soil, Boosts Yield
Topsoil can be saved and crop yields boosted by planting crops
on the contour instead of up and down the slope. Each furrow makes
a tiny dam that prevents the swift
runoff of water. By holding back the water, these dams allow tim e for the soil to soak up moisture.
When contouring is teamed with
cover crops and adequate fertilisation, top soil conservation benefit* result.

FIRST AID to the
AILING HOUSE
A (V Roger C.WIiitnian
QUESTION: Our housekeeping rooms are sandwiched between an
unheated, uninsulated attic and an
unheated, poorly ventilated, very damp basement. Consequently m y
rooms are damp and w allpaper won’t adhere to the plaster w alls.
Painting them poses this problem; After the warm , dry summer sea
son is over, the painted ceilings
and walls flake profusely. Because I m ust paint every year, I have
gone down the paint scale—from
semi-gloss finish to the water types of paint. But I find the expense of doing four rooms exorbi
tant these past two years. Can you
suggest an even cheaper wall cov-
ering?
ANSW ER: Instead of putting all the money into paint, why not do
something to dry up the damp basement and insidate the attic
roof? This would cost more money
than paint, but it would definitely
make a big improvement and you would have healthier living con
ditions than what you have now
in those damp rooms.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE N. C.. SEPTEMBER 7,1949
Beltsr Snbniarlnes Promote
Safely and Health ol Grew
In the evolution of the modem submarine, medicine has come lo rank with engineering in the de
velopment of efficient underwater craft and in promoting the safety .and health of the crew, Captain
Thomas L. WiUmon of the medical
corps of the U. S. navy told members of The American Society of
Mechanical Engineers.
He said that the medical man, who is the “human engineer” of the submarine, has solved many of
the problems of the past, which are now augmented by improved
tactics, equipment and construction, enabling deeper submergence,
greater submerged speeds, and more prolonged effectiveness of the weapon. He traced the history of the submarine from 1624 in the
tim e of .larnes 1 of England, wl'.er. a Hollander, Cornelius von Drebbel.
constructed a wooden shell covered with goat skin.'!, powered by 12
oarsmen, which successfully made
a submergence to 15 feet with the august personage of the king aboard.
"M any engineering developments have been largely the rc.sult of sub
marine requirements,” said Cap
tain W illmon. The lead acid storage battery received great impetus
as did the diesel engine which was
developed for safety and to enable burning of a less highly refined and
cheaper grade of fuel.
The atmosphere of the submarine
has always required study and control, not only as regards ostygen
content, but also for noxious gasses and &mes, including hydrogen
from the storage batteries, chlorine generated by salt water gaining
access to the sulfuric acid of the storage batterie.*;, and carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere inherent to long submergence. Coincident with long submergence or
even surface operation, in tropical
waters, temperature and humidity control within the submarine were found to be mandatory.
Jm t How to Go About
Oilinc Sewing Macliine
There is no regular rule to follow as to how often a sewing ma
chine should be oiled. When there
is a collection of lint and old oil it should be removed and a fresh
oiling made. After about eight hours of running the machinery
needs just oiling. To clean a m a
chine you need one cup of kerosene or cM l on; a rag; a brush or
chicken feather; a pie tin; a screw
driver or nail file. Use the kind of machine oil that is recommended by the company that made the machine.
Before you start cleaning the ma
chine, you should remove the needle, bobbin, presser foot and
face plates. Then loosen the belt. Place the pie tin under the needle bar and pour about % cup of kerosene oil in it. Take your brush
filled with kerosene and give the ma<^ine head a good ‘washing’. The opening on the back is an im portant place to clean. T ilt the head back and clean the underside.
Be careful not to get kerosene on the belt. O il and kerosene are not
good for electric wires or leather belts.
Now turn the wheel of the m achine. O il every part that seems to
rub some other part. O il every bearing on the head of the ma
chine and one on the treader part.
Soak up all excess oil and put all parts back on the machine before
completing the cleaning job.
‘Mayans Decline in Stature
Says Antliropolocy Curator
Among the linguistic fam ily of the M aya, who evolved the most advanced of new world civiliza
tions before tiie arrival of Europeans, there has been a progressive dedine in stature. Today the
Mayan-speaking peoples of the Guatemalan Highlands, who retain much of the language and many
of fhe customs of their ancestors, are among &e shortest Indians. Comparison with prehistoric skeletal m aterial shows that they have lost about five centimeters, nearly
two inches.
This is one of the indications from measinrements of more than
200 Uving Guatemalans ot M ayan stock in the west ot the Ccatepl American republic, )list caxxfad m by Dr. T. Dale S tew i^ t a W
sonian institution OOMtW M cal anthropology.
There are four attkC im p s !li
these highland M ay m ^ M M
ing a different dlateei jr a m
ago Dr. Stewart n a d * physical m e a s n ra u iilf « ^
Cakchiquel Indiana, SkU f W h*
visited the isolated J iO u e ^ Sa- loma north of flw k w Cudiii-
matanes m ountalu id im more
than 100 Mam-speaking people were studied. .At the end of his
trip he obtained sim ilar measurements of members of the Quiche
tribe at Santa Clara, west Lake
Atitlan.
The low stature was a common
characteristic of these people, he reports. He suspects it is due to
some unfavorable factor in the environment which has become pro
nounced during the past two cen
turies. The decline cannot be attributed to general economic conditions. The present-day Mayas are at least as well nourished,
clothed, and housed as their ancestors.
"Bus Collector” Pays Off
In Improved Crop Yields
The little man with the butterfly
net has long been a caricature — a fugitive from a comic strip meant
to provoke man’s funny bone along with jokes about absentminded professors.
But “bug collectors” are impor
tant men in our economic setup —
their science reveals more to us than how many legs a spider has
or that it can regenerate a lost appendage.
Insects, often called man’s greatest cofnpetitors, attack cultivated plants and livestock, destroy and
contaminate stored food and clothing, and are the principal carriers
of disease of plants, animals, and man.
But there’s the honey bee among the beneficial insects that pollinate
certain plants and prove their worth in other wajra.
To know the difference between the insects causing great losses
and those which are beneficial, and to develop methods for eradication
of the pests while protecting the others is the job of the entomolo
gist.
More than 265,000 insect specimens pinned or moimted on slides
at the Colorado A. & M. College experiment station probably rep
resent only 15 per cent of the species found in the state. Dr.
George M. List, chief entomologist, reports, however, that the
collection is probably the largest
in the intermountain region.
May Need More Milk
an Cliild, Chemists Told
Tin in Short Supply
The world shortage of tin is so
critical that it would continue for at least another year even without th* stockpiling programs now in
operation in the United States and abroad, Walton S. Smith, vice-pres-
ident of the Metal & Thermit Corporation, New York, declared at the 115ft national meeting of the
American Chemical society. World production of tin - is expected to
reach 170,000 tons tliis year and190,000 tons in 1950, wiiile world
demand is estimated at 190,000 tons, he said.
Cnt Farm Costs
“Every Smoker Fire Hazard”
The discarding of lighted cigars, cigarettes, and lighted tobacco from pipes without regard for
flamm able m aterial which may be set on fire has given origin to the
expression that “every smoker is a fire hazard.” Every smoker
should exercise reasonable care in regard to sparlss from lighted cigars, cigarettes, or pipes and to
the disposal of such articles. It is generally admitted that the ordinary cigarette is a greater fire hazard than is a cigar or pipe, be
cause if it is laid down after being lighted, it usually will continue to
bum until it is consumed, whereas, under the same conditions, a
lighted cigar or pipe w ill “ go out.”
Cost-cutting machinery produced by American factories since the war is helping farmers keep costs
down this spring. Combines, post- holfe diggers, hydraulic scoops,
m ilking machines, special harvesters, and many electrical m achines are reducing the need for high-priced help. O n e Kansas
farm er harvests and chops green sorgo with a machine that cost $2,000 but saves hiring five men at
$8 each per day. Another reclaimed sbc acres of swamp land, worth
1200 an acre, with a digger that cost $475.
M ilk may prove a more important part of fhe diet in old age than it is
in childhood, according to Dr. d iv e M. McCay, professor of nu
trition in CorneU university, speak
ing before the American Cheniica] Society.
Recent data indicate that the amount of fat and calcium obtained
from food during the last third ol life has special importance ex
plained Professor McCay, who spoke <» the “Chemical aspects of
longevity.” The maintenance of calcium in the bones requires an
adequate level in the diet, and this in turn means an ample intake of
m ilk, he pointed out.
There is no evidence that a diet containing plenty of calcium v.’ill
accelerate hardening of the arteries, he stated.
“White rats have been fed exclusively upon mineralizeJ milk p.s a
sole item of diet from weanins until the end of life, and these rats
lived as long as those fed ucon a
high quality mixed diet,” Professor McCay reported. “Hence, m i”-
supplemented only with traces ol
iron, copper and manganese pro- vides all essential nutrients throughout life.”
During old age. Professor Mc
Cay contmued, the amount of fat in the diet of experimental animals affects the utilization of calcium.
If only a m arginal supply of calcium is provided, there is more wastage of this element when the
diet is rich in fat. Furthermore, hard fats, such as mutton tallow,
waste more calcium and are less effectively utilized than soft fats,
such as butter or corn oil.

Qulnoa Studied by UNFAO
' Some say it’s spinach. Some say
it m ight as well be oats, or wheat, or barley. But it is quinoa and the
world may hear more about it one of these days, now that the versatile plant of tiie lofty Andes is be
ing studied by the United Nations
food and agricultural organization. Chenopodium quinoa is its bo
tanical name. Goosefoot and Incan arrow are two of its aliases. It is
a perennial plant with uses as food, drink, and medicine. Indians in the Lake Titicaca region of Peru,
Bolivia, and Chile have cultivated it for imtold centuries.
Researcher in Beryllium
Seelcs Solution of Cancer
Beryllium , a scarce and highly
toxic m etal, w ill stop some of nature’s most vigorous normal
growth processes. What effcct m ight it have on the abnormal
growth processes of cancer?
The American Cancer society has made a grant to Dr. Charles S.
Thornton, professor of b io lo ^ at Kenyon college, Gambier, Ohio, to expand the work he has begun with beryllium. Dr. Thornton has al
ready found that beryllium nitrate w ill stop the remarkable power to
regenerate amputated lim bs which is characteristic of salamanders.
Dr. Thornton has been engaged in
his research with salamanders for
several years. He calls it fundamental research in the growth and differentiation of cells, and does not expect it to produce a quick sure cure for cancer.
“The more we leam about how cells grow, the different rates at
which they grow, the normal and abnormal patterns of growth, the mere nearly, we can understand what to look for to solve the cancer
question.”
The regenerating tissue which produces a new lim b for the sala
mander grows at a much more rapid rate than norm al growth. Beryllium nitrate in low concentration stops that growth in the sala
mander and furthermore it seems
to concentrate almost exclusively on the wound surface, leaving the
rest of the body free from its highly toxic effects. Whether nitrate would act the same way on tiunor tissue and whether it would be non
toxic to higher anim als—these are questions for further study.

Falom ar Mountain Telescope
Recently the “giant eye” telescope on top of the' Palomar moun
tain near San Diego, Calif., reached
so ' far into space that it focused on the Coma Berenices, or Bere
nice’s Hair. This constellation in the Milky Way derives its name
from a 2200--year old legend that the beautiful amber-colored hair of
Berenice, the Queen of Cyrene, wai:
cut off, stolen, and taken to the sky. The amber liquid now known
as “varni.sh” was first named for the queen because it was the color of her fabulous hair. Later, in
Latin, it was known as “vernix,’
then, in English, as “varnisL"
Descendants ol Daniel Defoe
A Cornell university professor
who followed up his clues by m ail
has discovered the existence of descendants' of .naniel Defoe, the 18th century author of “Robinson
Crusoe.” Defoe died in 1731 and
scholars . have generally agreed that his last descendant was drowned at sea off San Francisco
in the 1890’s. The surviving relatives have been found in England
by Dr. George H. Healey through an investigation which has also
brought to. light the earliest known
letters of Defoe. The dram atic discoveries clim ax research which
the profeiisor of English began in
1938 to obtain m aterial for the
first attempted collection of Defoe's letters.
Land of Opportunity
Glad he came to America 29 years ago instead of entering a
Portugese university, A1 Nobrega, shop foreman at Gardner, Mass.,'
regards this as “the land of opportunity.” Bom in the Madeira
Islands, M r. Nobrega visited his birthplace recently. He didn’t like
it any more. Sajm g his home town hasn’t moved ahead since he left,
he added: “I wouldn’t change places with anyone!”
Calcium for the Family
Take care to include an adequateI amount of m ilk in the diet of yoar fam ily to insure them of having a
sufficient supply of calcium to
maintain strong teeth, bones and healthy bodies. H ie USDA tells us that m ilk consumption is dropping
i a little each year. See that each
adult in your fam ily has at least one pint ^ m ilk each day and that
. fhe children have a quart a day.

Formula For Death

T his Is the form ula for nearly
three.fourths of all highw ay traf.

sen, director of the H ighw ay Safe,
ty Division of the N orth Carolina
Department of Motor Vehicles, who
heads the Department’s August
campaign to foster greater hig h ,

From all indications, the chief
ingredient in most highw ay ac

portion of discourtesy,” W ilsoo
said. "These accidents, stemming

annually in N orth C arolina.”
The Itepartm ent is cooperating
during August w ith the N ational
Safety Council in this drive which
has its slogan “ M ind Yonr Motor

‘‘Discourtesy is so often inter,
pretcd as a mere annoyance that
the public seems to loose sight of
its deadliness.” W ilson said “ We

Oolrt Minimize Dizziness;
It May Be Serious Symptom
Don’t minim ize that feeling of dizziness and blame it on an over
dose of hamburgers and restaurant
pie. The cause m ight be more serious, ranging from infection to tu
mor of the brain.
The causes and types of dizziness
were discussed by Dr. Patti A. Campbell, assistant professor of
otolaryngology in the Northwestern
University medical school. He spoke at the Veterans Adminlstra-
tion hospital at Downey, 111.
"The symptom, ‘dizziness,’ ia
one of the more common human complaints. When a patient states
that he is dizzy, he may refer to any of several subjective sensa
tions. ranging from a feeling of
whirling to one of mental bewilderment,” Dr. Campbell said.
“If the complaint is that of a
sensation of whirling, or that the environment is whirling about the
pctient, the source of the disturbance usually lies in the sm all bal
ance canals associated with the
ear, or with the nerve connections
of the balance canals with the brain. If the complaint does not
contain a rotational element, then the sensation is probably originat
ing in the higher centers of the
brain.”
If the dizziness of which the pa
tient complains is rotational in nature, the commoner causes are too much fluid or salt consumption,
allergy, infections, neuriti or tumor
of the nerve which connects the
balance organs with the brain. Among the commoner causes of nonrotational dizziness are blood
pressure disturbances, endocrine
changes such as those of the menopause, disorders of the eye, remote
infections, and brain concussion.“Because tumor of the balance
nerve m ay be one of the commoner ^ e s of brain tumor, all instances of dizziness in which there is a
Totatioiial element must be very
carefully studied by the physician,” Dr. Campbell concluded.
Dingy Furniture Improved
By Shampooing witii Soap
When upholstered furniture looks
BUghtly dingy, it’s time to try a dean-up treatment. Siiampooing
with soap jelly is the treatment recommended for fabric that is
color-fast.
Home management specialists at flie University of Illinois college of
agriculture give this recipe for making soap jelly; pour 1 cup of
hot water over 2 cups of m ild soap
flakes. That proportion of 1 to 2 ia easy to remember. Now beat tlie mixture to a jelly with a rotary
heater.
You will want to test fabrics to
make sure they won’t change color. Do it in a place that won’t show,
using this method: Dip a cloth in lukewarm water, wring it out dry,
and then dip it in soap jelly. Hub the jelly on the spot. Then rinse
with a cloth wrung dry out of clear lukewarm water.
If the color isri’t affected, proceed with the shampooing. Apply the soap jelly to only a sm all area at a
tim e, and rinse it out thoroughly. And be careful not to dampen the
stuffing in the furniture.

Good Bedding Important
A t most, the average person
won’t spend more than 300 hours a year in his $2000 automobile. He
spends annually 2920 hours in his
bed which seldom costs him more than $100.00. The car won’t last
much past five years and then only
at heavy upkeep expense. The
mattress, a good one, w ill last well beyond that at no maintenance
cost, whatsoever. Yet, both are essentially vehicles. The car car
ries him from place to place. The
mattress and sprmg transport him from night to dawn and in between
is a journey that can contain the
great pleasure of restoration of energy or the horror of sleepless

Oog-Proof Fox Trap
An elevated trap set is less likely
to take dogs than any other, ac
cording to E arl F. Kennamer, A .P.I. extension service wildlife
specialist. The trapper first locates
an area having a lone stump or mound of earth. The stump or
mound should be the highest point
a fox m ight clim b in the area. A sawdust pile is often ideal for the
elevated set. If a stump is the
highest point, a hole large enough to seat the open trap is chopped in
the top. Trap is covered lightly with soil and leaves. If a mound of
earth or sawdust pile is used, trap is buried in the top and chain
is tied to a clog, or staked if necessary. About ten feet from the
stump or mound a dead rabbit or chicken entrails or other bait is
I dropped. Should a fox come along
I and scent the bait, his first reac
tion w ill be to hop upon the near
est high object to survey the situation before taking the bait. If a dog arrives first, he will simply
eat the bait.

“ Yes, indeed,” replied the lady,

Our County And
Social Security
By Mrs. Ruth G. Duiiy, Manager.
Silence is Golden—sometimes!
Keeping silent is a virtue, but it
can be plenty costly if it involves
withholding information concern
ing Social Securitylnsurance which
your husband is building up for
^ you. His Social Security Card is
an INSURANCE policy with the
United States Government which
will bring benefits to you both.
All wives in the Davie County
area should know that they have
valuable insurance rights under
the Social Security Act. When
your husband is eligible for mon-
thly retirement benefits, you, as
his wife, will also be entitled to
a monthly payment at 65. In cas
es of death, yoimger widows with
minor children of the wage earn-
er in their care also are eligible for
monthly survivors’ benefits, as are
widows at 65. A lump-sum pay
ment may be made to a widow
when monthly payments cannot
be made. You should know these
facts and present them to your So
cial Security Office in Winston-
Salem when the occasion arises.
If you fail to ask for benefits due
you, considerable monev M AY be
lost because you kept silent. The
Social Security Administration em
phasizes that an application Must
be filed in ALL cases before bene
fits can be paid. So call person
ally on, or write, the Social Secur
ity Administration, 437 Nissen
Building, Winston-Salem, for fur
ther information on Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance. O r you may

British Ask Special Loan Favors;
Senate Rejects Economy Measure;
Gl’s Apply for War Risk Rebates
CONGRESS hasn’t heard the last of government reorganization
plan No. 1 to set up a department
of welfare.The senate’s turndown has not cooled President Truman’s de
termination to put the proposal
through. He w ill make another try to get approval.The President disclosed this in a tallc with Reps. Robert Grosser
and Wayne Hays of Ohio. They conferred with him on govemment reorganization plans.
“As long as government reorganization can be vetoed by
either branch of congress,” said Hays, “it w ill be impos
sible to effect economy in expenditures. It’s the old story of
lobby pressure. The lobbies go to work behind-the-scenes and'
kill these proposals. That happened when Hoover was President and what the senate did on his proposal was more of the same.” \
“That’s sure,” said Truman, “but they are not scaring me. If the Hoover commission’s magnificent
report is to mean anything, it will have to be put into effect. I am
going to keep on sending plans for that purpose to congress. Whenever one is vetoed, I’ll send up a revised
plan in its place.”
Touchy History
House rules committee consideration of the arms-for-Europe bill
unexpectedly touched off a sharp explosion on American history.
Supporting the measure,' Rep.
Ray Madden, D., Ind., vigorously criticized former President Hoover for assailing administration spending policy.
“’The ex-President was talking out of both sides of his mouth when he said we are spending ourselves
into a collectivist state,” thundered Madden. “He himself has
advocated 30 billion dollars for defense and foreign aid out of a total budget of 42 billion dollars. He
talks economy, but he wouldn’t cut a cent of the m ilitary and foreign-
aid expenditures.”
“ That’s an old story,” broke In Chairman Adolph Sabath (D., n i.). “I’ve h«ard it many times. I remember as far back as the period after World War
I, when the same cries were raised by those who fought to keep us out ot the League of Nations. If congress had not ' listened to those men, there
might not have been a World War II.
Then, pointing at Rep. John Davis Lodge (R ., Conn.), Sabath
added, “there sits the grandson of the man who led the fight against
the League—Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge.”
For a moment, Lodge sat in stunned silence. Then, white with
anger, he jumped to his feet and shouted, “The record w ill prove
who is right.”
“ I just gave you the record,” retorted Sabath.
Sunday School Vaughan
The “5-percenter” uproar has
had no effect on M aj. Gen. Harry Vaughan as a Sunday-School teacher.
He has continued to conduct his regular class of high-school boys
every Sunday morning at the Westminister Presbyterian church across the Potomac in Alexandria, Va. Usual attendance is 10 to 12 students.
Vaughan has been conducting this class for three years. He is very regular in his appearance.
When he can’t attend, Mrs. Vaughan takes over.
Vaughan uses themes from the regular material prepared by the
Presbyterian church f o r such classes. He does not wear his uni
form to church. Vaughan is an elder of the church, and popular with parishoners and his class. He enlivens his teaching with jokes and
witticisms.Note—Vaughan has told friends
that regular arm y antipathy to reserve officers is one of the secret
influences behind the senate probe. Vaughan has long been critical of “West Pointers.”
Tideland Oil
Sen. Joe O’Mahoney (D., Wyo.), chairm an of the interior affairs committee, has thrown a monkey
wrench into the drive to steamroller through a so-called “com
promise” on the tideland oil issue.
He was supposed to sponsor
“ compromise” legislation in the senate. But after examining
the biUs agreed on at secret conferences' with California, Texas and Louisiana officials,
O’Mahoney refused to have anything to do with them.
Hearings on the measures were
scheduled before a house judiciary subcommittee, headed by Rep. Francis E. Walter (D ., Pa.)
One of the measures is- an out- end-out grab. It would give the states the bulk of these vast oil reserves.

BRITISH LOAN: Touched Off Probe
True to Form
Even before the talks got fully underway, the trend of the dis
cussion concerning British-Ameri- can finance deals was becoming fam iliarly clear.
THE PROBLEM was Britain’s
current financial crisis. The hope rested with U. S. procedure as it
affects assistance. That the U.S. was thoroughly under the spell of
British need and persuasion was
shown in the statement that this government is hospitable to a proposal to relax terms of the British
loan pact.
Under the current preliminary
proposal, the U. S. would grant Britain permission to discriminate
temporarily against American goods. Under the British loan pact,
Britain got 3.75 bfllion dollars from the United States in return for a
promise to treat American exports the same as those from British em
pire coimtries and Europe.
Now, the British want that requirement knocked out. Here’s how the British plan would work:
BRITAIN could, for instance, refuse to license British buyers who
want to buy American goods, but it could give “open licenses” to
Britishers who, for example, wanted to im port Italian goods. Since the Italian imports could be pur
chased with sterling, this would save Britain dollars.
TIius, with the monetary talks
hardly imderway, the British are asking a double burden of the
American taxpayer—money from the taxpayer to solve Britain’s eco
nomic problem while at the same time setting up what amounts to a
boycott of American imports which will further cost the American tax
payer if he happens to be one of
the businessmen affected by the ruling.
And, as the pattern seems to be,
officials were reported favorable to the British proposal and — symp
tomatically, too—were planning to by-pass congress in implementing that approval.
WATCHMAKING:
Pioneered in U. S.
Many Americans believe preci
sion watchmaking is an exclusively Swiss craft. Hence the sm all but lusty U.S. jeweled watch industry delights in pointing out that basic production methods now used by
the Swiss were developed here a century ago, and that this “American system” was adopted by the Swiss about 1875.
Two years ago American crafts
men proved they hadn’t lost their ingenuity. An Elgin, 111., watch
manufacturer introduced a rust- proof, acid-proof “durapower” mainspring which was called the
most revolutionary advance in watchmaking since introduction of
jeweled bearings 200 years ago.Now by way of improving on
perfection, the same factory announces its technicians have learned how to squeeze every last otmce
of power out of the wonder-alloy mainspring.
Their method was to eliminate the conventional annealed arbor
end of the spring, which had always been dead, unproductive weight.By pre-forming the arbor end, possible only with the new alloy, they have put the entire length of the
spring to work. The result: A longer run of the watch between wind
ings, hence a boon to lazy and forgetful thumbs and forefingers!
DIVIDEND:
Rebate for Gl's
The federal government, in one
of the most amazingly simple forms ever to come out of Washing
ton, was receiving applications
from World War II veterans for rebates on G I insurance premiums.
REJO IC IN G over the windfall, surprised and delighted with the
simple application form, veterans were flooding the m ails with their application cards.
“It’s like finding money on the street,” one veteran declared.
The dividend payments from national life insurance surplus funds
are to be made to persons who hold or have held these policies. The
average payment is estimated at $175. To be eligible for a rebate,
the veteran must have had his service life insurance in force at least 90 days. The dividend would
not be issued on any service life insurance issued after December 31, 1947.
Cedric Worth, special assistant
to Navy Undersecretary D . A.
Kim ball, is shown as he appeared before the house com
mittee investigating the B-36 bomber program. It was Worth
who touched off the probe. He admitted writing the document
containing serious charges against Defense Secretary Johnson and former air force secretary Symington.
SPENDING:
Slash Rejected
The United States senate stood firm in support of President Tru
man’s estimate of the financial needs of the nation for the next
fiscal year.
A move to force the President to
slash federal spending to a level 5 to 10 per cent below his advance
estimates was defeated. But the margin was only three votes.
The economy amendment, had it
carried, would have required the President to hold spending for the
current fiscal year some two billion
to four billion dollars below the estimates he made last January.
FOES of the proposed economy
asserted it amounted to passing the economy buck to the President. Supporters of the amendment an swered that the President was in
better position than anyone else to determine where to cut.
After the decision on this issue,
the senate passed by a voice vote a 14.80 billion dollar appropriation
bill to pay for national defense the cost of the army, navy and air
force. This was 500 m illion less, however, than President Truman had asked.
IN OPPOSING the economy
rider; Sen. Scott Lucas, m ajority floor leader, said the amendment was a “political gesture,” an at
tempt to teU the President to do
what congress lacked the courage to do. He asked if economy sup
porters would “impeach him ” if
M r. Truman failed to save as much as ordered.
On the contrary, contended Senator McClellan of Arkansas, “it is
sound legislation necessary in the public welfare, and failure to bal
ance the budget or hold the deficit to the m inim um this amendment
makes possible may well prove to be a stupid and dangerous blunder.’'
TELEVISION:
Color Must Walt
For those who want color in television, there were four more years of waiting.
That was the expressed conviction of a television mantriacturer, Benjam in Abrams. He said that while color television had been
demonstrated successfully, “it still is in the laboratory stage and it will be years before it is available for
the general public.” He then estimated the waiting tim e as four years.
Abrams said that at the present
stage of development of color television, he did not believe manufac
turers could turn out adapters for less than $300 to $500. And he esti
mated a set built especially foi color would cost $1,000.
He declared present sets would
not become obsolete even with the advent of color. But he said widespread interest aroused by the FCC
exploration of color television was causing some prospective custom
ers to postpone buying sets.
Abrams took issue with charges that manufacturers are deliberately holding back color video. He de
clared it would be in the manufacturers’ own interest to bring out
color sets quickly if they could produce them at prices within
range of the gene'ral public.Summing up he said: “You can’t
push a button and have color television appear over night.”

servers didn’t give him long. They predicted that Tito would be liqui
dated by assassination or that Russia would abandon diplomatic ma
neuvering and move into Yugoslavia by force of arms.
THIS LATTER supposition was strengthened by the reported arrival of three Soviet mechanized
divisions in southern Hungary. The general view in Belgrade was that the Soviet govemment had so in
volved its prestige in the 14-month campaign to destroy the present
Yugoslav government that Moscow couldn’t let Tito get away with anything further.
The presence of the new Soviet
forces in Hungary was held indicative of the gravUy of the new
crisis between Belgrade and Mos
cow.
It was pointed out, however, that
conditions which made Soviet o p erations successful in the Baltic states and in Poland do not exist
in Yugoslavia. A direct attack
m ight create a condition that could result in another European war.
THE RUSSIANS must realize
that as well as anyone else. It w ill be interesting, therefore, to observe Russian strategy in the con
tinuing onslaught against Tito’s regime. If the Russians resort to
m ilitary force, that action should notify the world that Moscow be
lieves itself ready for war and is ready to face the issue.
If tactics of diplomatic attrition continue, then the embassies of the globe could safely hazard the opinion, and act upon it, that for
all its sabre-rattling, the Kremlin is not ready to go to war—not just yet.
TRUMAN:
Long Memory
While President Truman may
have nothing else in common with the symbolic GOP elephant, he
shares the pachyderm’s fame 'for long memory.
This was indicated by a recent story in Washington that the Presi
dent appeared about to shake up the membership of the Fine Arts
commission which opposed the controversial balcony Mr. Truman
installed in the White House.
THAT BALCONY, as almost everyone w ill recall, was a bonan
za for gag men and cartoofaists, and, apparently, M r. Truman didn’t
appreciate whatever humor m ight have been contained in the situa
tion.
According to the Washington reports, Commission Chairm an G ilmore D. Clarks, who vigorously op
posed the balcony project, has received no word from the White
House since his term expired last March. Terms. are about to expire
for three other commission members and they, too, have received
no communique from the White House about being reappointed.
During the winter of 1947-48 the dispute over the proposed balcony
raged furiously after President Truman announced he wanted a
second-floor "porch” built onto the
White House. The Fine Arts commission form ally voted disapproval and various architectural groups and citizens joined in.
THAT D ID N ’T deter the Presi
dent. M r. Truman had the balcony buat despite the criticism . The tur
m oil subsided quickly and many thought that was the end of the affair.
It m ight have been—but Mr. Trum an, like an elephant, apparently, never forgets.
Moscow Bound
The Very Rev. Dr. Hewlett
Johnson, dean of Canterbury, whose support of Russian ide
ologies has earned him the nickname, “Bed Dean,” is shown entering his ear for the
airport on the first stage of a trip to Moscow. This w ill mark his second journey to the Soviet capital since the war.
FARM AID:
Truce SoughtPresident T?ruman was casting
about for an end to the feud on farm programs. To that end he
invited a group of congressional leaders to the White House to discuss the situation.
Senator Thomas (D ., Okla.) who is chairm an of the senate agriculture committee expressed a hope the President “tells us ex
actly what he wants for a farm program next year.”
Ringold Lady Dora
Is Champion Again
Raises litter of 10
To 447 Pounds Weaned
Ninety-six pigs raised to weaning age is the remarkable new record
of America’s champion production BOW. She is Ringold Lady Dora, a purebred Harfipshire owned by Meadowlark Farm s, Inc. of Sullivan, Indiana, and the only sow of
any breed to qualify for an 8th star in production registry books.
The champion chalked up her new record tWs spring when she
raised a litter of 10 pigs, nine of them eligible for registration, to weigh 447 pounds at weaning time,
66 days.
To qualify for production regis
try, conducted by the purebreed associations, a sow must raise a
litter of at least eight pigs to a m inim um weight of 320 pounds
within 56 days. They must be approved breed type, free from fault
________________
Here is Ringold Lady Dora with her litter of 10 pigs which
qualified her as an 8-star sow,
the only sow having such designation in registry sows of any
breed. This litter weighed 447 pounds at 56 days of age. Bin-
gold Lady was fed a ration of com, oats, pelletized m ilk pro
ducts and alfalfa pasture prior
to farrowing and during the suckling period.
or defect and at least half of them
eligible for registry. Tlie sow gains a star in the production registry
books each time she repeats the
performance.
The champion has repeated it
eight times, raising a total of 81 pigs to weigh a total of 3,183 pounds
at the weaning age. Besides her eight litters which qualified for production registry, this sow has
raised another 15 pigs in two litters which failed to quality, or a total
of 96 pigs since her first litter was farrowed in September, 1944.
According to U. S. department of agriculture reports, the national
average is less than 6.3 pigs per litter raised to weaning age. It
would take more than average litters to equal in numbers of pigs
raised to weaning age what Rin
gold Lady Dora raised in her eight qualifying litters.
Worth of her litters was proven recently when her sixth qualiftfing
litter (farrowed February 13, 1948)
consisting of seven boars and three gilts, was sold for a total of $4,365.
Versatile Tool
This “ adjusto-blade” tool is a tim e, space and money saver
for the farmer and gardener
and can be used at any season of the year. A product of the Cof- fing hoist company, the tool
does the work of a hoe, an angle hoe, an axe, edger, trencher,
sickle in summer and a scraper in winter.
The secret of its versatility lies in the adjustable blade
which can be fastened securely in a number of positions. The
head of the company which makes it, Fred W. Coffing, is the inventor.
The tool is sturdily made
throughout, with blade made of heat-treated tool steel to insure extra toughness.
Grain Sorghiun Grazing
Cuts Farm Feeding Cost
The widespread use of grain sorghum for fall grazing has proved
this crop to be one of the best grown for livestock, according to
J . T. Graves, Ciemson extension livestock ^eciaiist.
The grain sorghum gives grazing at a time of year that most other
types of grazing are uiiavailable. It fits in very well between summer pastures and green winter grazing crops. /

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C.
O NE A U TO CLUB LAUNCHES CAM PAIGN. . .
S o m e Driven Act Late for Their Accidents
. . . AGAINST THE SAFE AND SANE DRIVER
f i l l DONE BY DAWDLERSW A T C H OUT! You’re apt to get
hit by a careful automobile operator, bub! You can never tell
wiiat those drivers who are in no hurry may do next. Whammo! I kne'.v it . . . . another smashup
due to one of those scourges of the highway, the cautious autoist!
The Antomobile Club of New York, through W illiam J . Gott- I'eb, its president, issues (■with
a straight or nearly so, face)
a statement saying that dawd
ling drivers are a menace to safety, and urging that some
thing be done about them.
"W hile it is commonly believed that irresponsible, speeding, intoxicated or reckless
drivers cause most accidents, many may be traced to those who drive cars too slowly,” says the statement.
By H. I. PHILLIPS
“When these slow drivers move out of the right-hand lane,” says
M r. Gottlieb, "they create perils for faster drivers.” (Ya don’t say!) “This Is utterly selfish and pro
vocative of accidents,” he adds. (How about some traps for slow
drivers?)
' The Greater Love
^ THE sight of others' suffering hurts me so.
How can God bear it, he who knows so well
The innermost recesses of the heart
That hold the secrets tongues can never tell?
I wonder at it often as I see
Some child in pain, some aged one in distress--
When my heart aches with pity, how can God
Restrain a hand with power to heal and bless?
I question it, and then I know, I know!
I learn it in this school which I attend:
Whatever hurts us, hurts his great heart more;
Whatever else may fail, he is our friend.
He does not send our grief, or pain or loss.
But if we wait and trust him as we shoidd,
I am quite certain his great love w ill turn
Ultimately, all things for our good.

I^ A R IE WILSON, in New York
to help publicize the hilarious screen version of “My Friend Irm a,” was probably the most co
operative actress Paramount has worked with in a long time. Also
one of the nicest. “I want to go on m aking comedies,” she said, “But
with the radio ‘My Friend Irm a’ going on, I won’t have to take just
anything that’s offered.” Pre-views
IMABIE WILSON
of the picture have been so en
thusiastically received that a sequel, “Irm a Goes West,” is being prepared, to be made with the
same cast. Three members of it, Miss Wilson, Dean M artin and Jer
ry Lewis, the comedians, have been signed for “That’s My Boy.” So she’s back on the screen to stay.
More about the pretty Marie. Ar
riving on one of New York’s hottest days, she posed on a load of ice for news photographers. Her dog, a
true lens hound, promptly scram
bled up beside her and gazed into
the cameras.
If you have a Mark Wamow
Victor Record (No. 27868-BO) of “The Music Goes Round and Round” you may be able to get
$10 for it. Mark Goodson and B ill
Todman, producers of CBS’ “Spin to W in,” use it as their theme song, and they've worn their disc thin.
So they wUl pay that sum for the first 10 records they receive—^in
good condition, of course.
Tipsters and radio columnists cannot ciie listeners to the

Of course, it is just possible the
auto club is looking for some publicity. Auto associations are like
that. But it is dangerous stuff these dizzy days on the highways
to belittle the slow driver and classify him with the drunk, the
roadhog and the speed maniac.
The dawdlers are mighty

sidewalk or going through a

trailer trucks? Just dawdlers out for a pleasant dawdle, eh?• « •

ACTING ON IMPULSE By
Richard H. Wilkinson
«tT’S ABOtJT T IM E,” said Uncle
* Ralph, "that you, m y dear
Constance, were m arried. You’re nearly 25, which is the verge of the ineligible age. Don’t let popularity
turn your head, my dear, it won’t ----------- last forever.
3 us...». On® of th e s e• HllnUiS (Jays you’ll find
Fiction yourseU seeking I a m an, instead
of being sought after. And that,” Uncle Ralph added, “often means disaster.”
Connie Brigham wrinkled her cute little tumed-up nose, closed
one eye and stared soberly at
Uncle Ralph with the other. tJncle Ralph cleared his throat and began
to let his gaze wander about the room. He felt guilty.
“Which,” said Connie, with the slightest of twinkles, “is a polite
way of suggesting that I accept Bob M errill, and forget all about
Don Baxter. She stood up and ruffled Uncle Ralph’s hair, an act
which he resented delightfully. And
Connie went on; “Uncle Ralph, just why is it that you dislike Don so much? I think he’s fascinating."
Uncle Ralph snorted. “Donald Baxter,” he said, "is not
a fit young man to become the husband of any girl. He’s
flighty, unreliable, impulsive, and out of a job. You never can tell what he’s going to do
next.”
“He’s romantic,” said Connie. “He’s after yom money,” said Uncle Ralph.
“And he’s so good looking,” said
Connie.Uncle Ralph coughed. "O n the other hand. Bob M errill is depend
able, honorable, m anly, steady.
You can count upon him to make you a good husband.”“That’s just the trouble,” said
Connie.“What’s just the trouble?” said Uncle Ralph.
“He’s steady and dependable. So easy to read. Life with Bob would
be safe, yes, but it would also be monotonous.”Despite his outward jovialness
while conversing with Connie, Uncle Ralph was worried.
I wish, thought Uncle Ralph, I only wish something would happen to open her eyes. Drat .that Don
Baxter, you-never could tell what he’d do next.Two days later Uncle Ralph had
come no nearer to solving the problem.
He had considered every
possible plan to make Connie see the light, and discarded
them all. In the end he reluctantly decided to Interview Con
nie again, offer one final paternal plea.
WITH THIS in m ind Uncle Ralph
rose from the veranda chair in which he was sitting, only to
see Connie coming slowly up the walk. He sat down again, and picked up his newspaper. Connie
came on, doleful and sorrowful of expression. She sighted Uncle
Ralph, stopped and smiled whimsi
cally.
“I guess you were right,” she
said.
“About what?” asked Uncle
Ralph."Don.”
"Don? How was I right about Don?”
“About never knowing what he’s going to do next.”
“W hat’s he done, now?”“He’s m arried. Decided to last
night about 6 o’clock. At 6:30 he was a married m an,”
“(Ml. Hum ,” said Uncle R alidi. He was not one to gloat,
hence suppressed his delight with a masterful effort. He merely said m ildly, "WeU,
that’s that. Sort of turned out like I said it would. Well, you’ll be happier with Bob. He’s a
m an in a m illion.”
Connie shook her head. " I can never m arry Bob, Uncle Ralph.
That’s what makes me feel so bad.” “Tsck, tsck. That’s no way to
talk. You’ll get over Don soon enough. Bet a thousand the girl ho m arried isn’t worth one-tenth of
you.”
“Yes,” said Connie, “she’s worth all of me. I ’m the girl Don mar- ried.”CROSSWORD n m

Farmers Urged To
Order Trees Now
(By F. E. Peebles County Agent)
There are idle acres on pracd
cally every farm in Davie County. Idle acres pay no profits. They
are usually eroding and getting poorer and poorer. Farmer would do well by setting out young trees
pn these fields which would not
profitably grow other crops. Yes, forestry is a crop and ought to be
treated as such. Trees will grow • on the poorest soil eve, seen. Lit
tle labor and no fertilizer are re
quired.
One man can set out one-haU (4) acres of trees in a dav. 1000
trees set 6x7 feet is recommended for an acre of land. They should
be set out during the winter months when more time is avail>
able on the farm.
Farmers are urged to i_lace or
ders now for the seedlings (young trees) they want to set out this ■winter. If you wait until near
the time you want to set them and then order, the Jsupply may
be gone. The County Agent’s
office has the application forms and the agents will be glad to
help fill out the orders.
The following trees cost $2.50 per 1000, enough for one acre:
Loblolly pine, shordeaf pine, slash pine, longleaf pin , white
pine, yellow poplar, black locust, white ash, white oak. Red cedar
cost $3,00 per 1000, and black
walnut cost $10,00 per 1000.

metal polishes on general sale
that you can use, and many brushes in a wide range of sizes
that will get into the carvings of floral designs. A simple way to
clean copper is by washing with ordinary vinegar in which has
been dissolved as much salt as w ill be taken up, followed by rins
ing with clear water. You can
make the solution into a paste by the addition of flour. If not well
rinsed off afterward, the salt will further discolor the copper.

Have your Meat Tender, Delicious, Juicy
(See Recipes Below)
M eat M agic
rH E R E DOES SEEM to be a
^ magical quality about meats vhich are cooked to juicy, tender
perfection. However, it’s not a mystic m agic which all aspire to, a n d fe w
achieve. If there is a
secret, it’s ivaUable to all.It is no secret that you should
lave a good cut of meat with which :o start, if you want to have a de-
icious cut to set on the table. But
jnce you have a good cut, do cook .t properly instead of ruining it.
This latter statement may sound 1 bit far-fetched, but every day here are thousaiids of women who ;o to a great deal of trouble find- ng a perfect roast, then cook it
ike a pot roast which is practically itewing it. Then, too, there are
jther thousands who lose pounds )f meat by using old-fashioned
nethods such as high temperature tor “browning” the meat. This is
lot necessary because meat looked at constant, low tempera- aire wiU brown enough to be at-
Jractive to the most discerning eye, md wiU not shrink and lose juice is..,well as waste meat.
If you have a covered roaster, resolve right now to discard the :ovet and invest in a rack for a ■oast. A true roast is not, at any joint during roasting, cooked with 1 cover. It should sit on a rack, fat
lide up, at low to moderate tem
perature in the oven, to roast perfectly.
How long should a roast be :ooked? The most accurate way of
ietermining this is to insert a meat liermometer into the meat as you place it in the oven, and when the
;emperature has reached its proper point the roast is done. Insert the ;hermometer through the center, as deep into the meat as possible. STou may figure out the tim e to
i-oast by pounds, but this is not learly so accurate, especially if
rou are cooking roast beef to med- um rare.• • •
tITHEN PROPERLY PREPARED
»» corned beef can be a real Jelicacy. The meat is muscular, jnd needs to be cooked long and slowly for real tenderness, without which it is not a delicacy by any
nanner of means. Here’s a novel vay to prepare it.
Glazed Corned Beef 6-7 pounds corned beef
H cup canned fruit juice 54 cup brown sugar 10 whole cloves
Spiced peaches
Wash corned beef under running water to remove all traces of brme. ^over yinth cold water and bring
:o a boil. Drain and replace water, simmer, slowly, in a covered ket-
le for 4% to 5 hours or until meat -•an be pierced easily with a fork,
idd more water if necessary.Drain meat and place on a rack n a roaster. Pour fruit juice over
neat and sprinkle with brown iugar. Stick with cloves. Bake in
I moderate oven (350°) for H hour. Serve, garnished with spiced >eaches.• • •

The Psalms We Sing
Lesson for September Z5, 1949
TT WOULD be a most unusual per-
^ son who on his dying bed would
turn to the 23rd chapter of I Chronicles and not to the 23rd Psalm .' If the reader will
think of his own favorite passage of Scripture, and then
look them up in some edition which prints the Bible in a modern format,
he w ill discover that his favorite
passages are probably all poetry.Dr. Foreman
do give it a try. You’U never go back to the old way because the roasts are so much more delicious and juicy. Besides, who doesn’t
want to get all the edible meat possible for their money?
Fork Boast with Spicy Sauce
(Serves 6)Fresh picnic shoulder Salt and pepper
2 sm all onions, minced 1 tablespoon Worcester
shire sauce1 tablespoon sugar
14 teaspoon paprika % cup vinegar
Vs cup water2 tablespoons catsup
Have picnic shoulder boned and rolled at the market. Season with salt aad pepper. Place fat side up on rack in an
open roaster. Roast in a mod- erate oven (350°) un til
t h e r mometer registers 185°, or allow 40-45 minutes per pound. Combine all
remaining ingredients in a saucepan and cook for 5 minutes,
*Boast Leg of Lam b
(Serves 8-10)1 leg of lam b (5 pounds)
1 teaspoon ginger 1 clove garlic, if desired
Salt and pepper
Vi cup grape jelly
Vi cup water
Wipe meat with damp cloth. Do not remove fell, the thin, papery covering over the meat. Make
four gashes in the roast and insert a piece of garlic clove in each of them, if desired. Rub ginger, salt and pepper into the meat. Place in roaster on rack,
fat side up, and roast in a slow (300°) oven until thermometer registers 180° for well done lam b. During the last 20 minutes of
cooking time, baste the meat with grape juice which has been melted in the hot water. Remove garlic before serving.
Veal shoulder or breast may be
stuffed with the following to give
a very tasty roast. In roast-
/ ing veal, use aMr m JLI slow oven (300*
to 325° and cook until the thermometer registers 175°, which is about 40 minutes to the pound.
Baisin Stuffing
(For about 5 pound roast)
4 cups soft bread crumbs H cup melted fat .1 teaspoon salt 1 cup seedless raisins
M teaspoon pepper
Combine all ingredients and stuff lightly into meat, allowing room for expansion. Or, place stuffing to the side of the meat or in a casser
ole and baste with juices from meat. If you cook stuffing separately, bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
Brains, after pre-cooking, make
a delicious dish when dipped in seasoned flour, then browned in fat and served with creamy scrambled eggs.Hearts need a lot of long slow cooldng to make them tender. Veal hearts are especially good when filled with prune stuffing, then braised.
To shorten the cooking tim e for heart, cut it in cubes and brown in hot fat. Then fold into tomato
sauce used for s p a ^e tti and bake the whole casserole for 30 minutes.
Poetry’s. PowerW H Y the appeal of poetry? For
™ one thing, it is vivid. It is in colors, not severe black and white. It lives and breathes, at times it
shouts, and it always sings.
It is true to say "The provi
dential oversight of the Creator is continuous and unrem itting;” but it is more effective to say,
“The Lord is my shepherd.” It would be true to say, “The evidences of creative and bene
ficent purpose can be seen throughout all the orders of nature;” but how much more vivid is the 148th Psalm , calling on hail and fire, sun and moon and stars of light, to praise the Lord!
Another secret of poetry’s power is that it is the language of emotion. Professors and theologians may be saying the same things as
the poet, and maybe even saying them more completely and accu
rately; but what they say is le ^
easy to remember.So these emotional Psalms w ill
always appeal, even to the professor when off duty, because they
make us feel religion and not mere
ly think it.• • •
Pictures of GodSO IT IS no wonder the Psalms
have been loved and sung all over the world. We are perhaps the only religion that has made so
much use of another religion’s hymn book. Different though our faiths may be, Jews and Christians
can sing from the Psalter with one voice and heart.
For centuries H was the
hymnal of the Christian churcK Indeed, up to recent years some large denominations
would allow in public worship the singinsr of no other songs than the Psalms.
Many of our best hymns and pop
ular gospel songs, as we have already seen, are based'on Psalms.
“Rock of Ages, cleft for me,” “A Shelter in the Time of Storm ,"
"H iding in Thee,” — they all go back to the Psalm ist’s picture of
God as a Rock (Ps. 42:9). The Psalm ist was not thinking of a
little rock in a cornfield. He was lin k in g of some tall crag in the
fierce hot landscape of his country.
A rock there is a landm ark, it is
a shelter against the blazing sun, people could live under its over
hanging height.
So God is the landm ark of
life, he gives direction to our ways; he is the shelter on life’s
weary joom ey, he Is our safe dwelling.
So with the many other pictures
of God in the Psalms—he is light, he is shade, he is the guard on duty at night watching over the sleeping city (Ps. 121); he is a
shepherd, he is water for the thirsting soul (Ps. 42.)• • •
A Model Hymnal
r? IS true that few Christians to
day can use in worship all of the Psalms, without omission or
changes. It is also true that practically all Christian churches find
that the Psalms, by themselves, are inadequate to express all there
is in (3iristian experience, faith and ideals.The Christian hymn, entirely independent of the Psalms, has long
since come into its own. And yet the Psalms rem ain the model hymnal. For in them beauty and truth
are blended.
This should be the ideal of all Christian hymn and song books.
Some of our modem “hymns” as well as some older ones,
are bad because they are no better than jingles, —doggerel,
not poetry, and often sung to tunes better suited to a juke
box; and some are bad because they convey either nonsense or
downright falsehood.
But the great hymns, and the I best hymnals, are those which like the Psalms of old, combine pro
found truths about God and man, duty and destiny, with safety, sti# ring and singable music, aglow with
the beauty and power of words.

Uin{uage Should Be PlalMi
Says Professor *f English
“ ‘Git along, little dogies’ is
first class English, that is, when
it is u*ed on the range,” says a Northwestern English professor.
, Assistant Prol. Ernest Samuels, who is chairman of the university’s
freshman English division and author of the recent scholarly book,
“The Yoiuig Henry Adams,” declared that language should be
made to fit the occasion, and that
form al “starched” gram m ar is not always the best English.
"The cowboy’s language may
not be suitable for Park avenue, but it w ill bring the cows home,”
he pointed out, "and the English used on the assembly line is good
English for the assembly line.”
In the 18th century, said Prof.
Samuels, the age of form al rhetoric encouraged the theory that the
ignorant should be humiliated, but
today we are beginning to realize that the English language is not
the private property of the school
teacher and highbrow, but part of the cultural public domain.
It is only a very sm all audience today that consideres the infinitive
sacred, said the professor, and most students have learned not to
be shocked when they discover that Shekespeare on occasion used
“who” instead of “whom.” Even for cultivated porsons who like
verbal elegance, he stated, there is a certain ,hard fact that they
may as well accept—that their friends are not illiterate if they use "like” in place of "as” for a con
junction.
Prof. Samuels emphasized that
the English language should be flexible, which does not mean
careless or slovenly.
Specialist Gives Pointers
On Wrapping Frozen Meats
In records kept in the meats laboratory at Kansas state college on
wrapphig sides of beef, heavy aluminum foil proved to be the least
expensive wrapping, costing 60 to
65 cent-s to wrap 100 pounds of meat, reports Miss Mary G.
Fletcher, extension foods and nu-‘
tritiona' speciarst, Kansas State college, Manhattan.Laminated p^ipers cost on an
average of 80 to 85 cents per 100 pounds, and other commercial
wraps as high as 90 cents to $1 per 100 pounds. Cellophane was not
used because it has to be protected by a second wrap.The meats laboratory, under the direction of D. L. Mackintosh, re
cently completed some research on frozen pork and pork sausage. One important conclusion from the
study is that sausage should be seasoned to taste before it is frozen.
Sausage wrapped in laminated
paper, cellophane, or aluminum
will keep nine to 10 months. Miss Fletcher informs. That without
seasoning w ill break down within
three months. Pork wrapped in
wax paper should be used within six months. Dr. Mackintosh em
phasizes the importance of wrap
ping meat so that there is maximum contact between meat and
wrapper—to exclude air.The importance of uniform tem
peratures in the storage unit can
not be overemphasized. It is impossible to maintain uniform tem
peratures if unfrozen food is going into the unit. It has been said that
one pound of unfrozen food per cubic foot of storage space can be
placed in the unit without influenc- in« the temperature too much.
Microwave Spectrosci^y
Microwave technology, bom of wartime radar, has given science
a new technique for studying mo
lecular structure. Molecular ab
sorption, the most accurate method
of determining dimensions and
atomic constituents of molecules, has always been lim ited by the resolving power v»hich could be at
tained with infrared absorption me
thods. New electronic techniques
in the microwave region have in
creased the resolving power several hundredfold. Source of this micro
wave power is a tunable velocity- modulated oscillator, generating a
band of frequencies around 24,000 megacycles.
Bacteria In Water
A way of killing bacteria in m ilk or water without heat or chemi
cals is being investigated at the
Ui\iversity of Illinois. The method is to use ultrasonic waves—sound
pitched above the ability of the hu- m.".n ear to hear. If successful, it
may eliminate use of chlorine or other chemicals which leave a taste in water when added to kill
bacteria, or of heat-sterilizing m ilk,
which sometimes changes .the flavor. Bacteria-free m ilk might be
stored without refrigeration. The
cost may be less than present methods.
Cement Paints tor Masonry
A natural affinity of cement for
masonry surfaces is the b.isls for the development of PortUnd ce
ment paints, which are water- thinned combinations of finely
ground cement, lim e, and pigments of high hiding power and great color retention, ^ c h products are intended to jienetrate into the tiniest pores and bond with the
surface. Cement-base paints call for a thorough pre-wetting of the nrface before a coating is applied.
Mayans Decline In Stature
Says Anthropology Curator
Among the linguistic fam ily of
the Maya, who evolved the most
advanced of new world civilizations before the arrival of ihiro-
peans, there has been a progres
sive decline in stature. Today the Mayan-speaking peoples of the
Guatemalan Highlands, who retain much of the language and many
of tie customs of their ancestors, are among the shortest Indians.
Comparison with prehistoric skel
etal m aterial shows that they have lost about five centimeters, nearly
two inches.
This is one of the indications
from measurements of more than 200 living Guatemalans of Mayan
stock in the west of the Central American republic, just carried out
by D r. T. Dale Stewart, Smith
sonian institution curator of physical anthropology.
There are four m ain groups of
these highland Mayans, each sneak
ing a different dialect. Two .years ago Dr. Stewart made extensive
physical measurements of the Cs^chiquel Indians. This year he
visited the isolated village of Sa-
loma north of the high Cuchu- matanes moimtains where _ more
than 100 Mam-speaking 'people were studied. .M the end of hi.s
trip he obtained sim ilar measurements of members of the Quiche
tribe at Santa Clara, west Lake Atitlan.
The low stature was a common characteristic of these people, he
reports. He suspects it is due to some unfavorable factor in the en
vironment which has become pro-
noimced during the past two centuries. The decline cannot be at
tributed to general economic con
ditions. The present-day Mayas are at least as well nourished,
clothed, and housed as their an
cestors.
Just How to Go About
Oiling Sewing Machine
There is no regular rule to fol- ,
low as to how often a sewing ma- ■
chine should be oiled. When there ! is a collection of lint and old oil ;
it riiould be removed a?d a fresh '
oiling made. After about eight hours of running the machinery
needs just oiling. To clean a machine you need one cup of kerosene
or c«al oil; a rag; a brush or chicken feather; a pie tin; a screw
driver or nail file. Use the kind of machine oil that is recommended
by the company that made the m a
chine.
Before you start cleaning the machine, you should remove the needle, bobbin, presser foot and
face plates. Then loosen the belt.
Place the pie tin under the needle bar and pour about % cup of kero
sene oil in it. Take your brush
filled with kerosene and give the machine head a good ‘washing’.
T%e opening on tiie back is an im
portant place to clean. Tilt the head back and clean the underside.
Be careful not to get kerosene on
the belt. O il and kerosene are not good for electric wires or leather
belts.Now turn the wheel of the m a
chine. O il every part that seems to
rub some other part. O il everj'. bearing on the head of the .ma
chine and one on the treader part. Soak up all excess oil and put all
parts back on the machine before completing the cleaning job.

"Bug Collector” Pays Off
In Improved Crop Yields
The little man with the butterfly net has long been a caricature — a
fugitive from a comic strip meant
to provoke man’s funny bone along with jokes about absentminded
professors.
But “bug collectors” are impor
tant men in our economic setup — their science reveals more to us
than how many legs a spider has or that it can regenerate, a lost ap
pendage.
Insects, often called man’s greatest competitors, attack cultivated
plants and livestock, destroy and
contaminate stored food and cloth
ing, and are the principal carriers of disease at plants, anim als, and man.
But there’s the honey bee among the beneficial insects that pollinate
certain plants and prove their
worth in other ways.
To know the difference between
the insects causing great losses
and those which are beneficial, and
to develop methods for eradication of the pests while protecting the
others is the job of the entomolo
gist.
More than 265,000 insect speci
mens pinned or mounted on slides at the Colorado A. & M. College
experiment station probably represent only 15 per cent of the
species found in the state. Dr. George M. List, chief entomolo
gist, reports, however, that the collection is probably the largest
in the intermountain region.
"Every Smoker Fire Hazard”
The discarding of lighted cigars, cigarettes, and lighted tobacco
from pipes without regard for
flamm able m aterial which may be set on fire has given origin to the

Land of O p^rtunity
Glad he came to America 29 years ago instead of entering a
; Portugese imiversity, A1 Nobrega.shop foreman at Gardner, Mass., I regards this as “the land of op-
I portunity.” Bom in the Madeira
I Islands, M r. Nobrega visited his■ birthplace recently. He didn’t like it any more. Saying his home town
hasn’t moved ahead since he left, he added: “I wouldn’t change places with anyone!”
The famous artist was painting to the mountains and wanted a
live subject for one of his sketches.
“I’ll give you five dollars,” said he to a languid native, “if you
will let me paint you.”The mountain girl’s eyes gleamed
but she said nothing for a moment or so."That’s easy money stranger,
r n have to admit. I was just won
derin’ how I’d get the paint off afterwards.”

fUeldmg A Bad
Influence
Rev. W. C. Imobmif. HMh Point. N. C. R4
I t ’s a serious thing to wield a
bad influence. Perhaps the vast
m ajority of people do not realize
this, nevertheless it is a fact, W e
do not doubt but that m ultittides
of people whose influence is bad
hatd ly stop to gtve it a serious
thought. They go on across the
years of life on the wrong road,
leading, and helping to lead, others
iu the same direction, some day to
wake up to the fact that life, w ith
l*s golden opportunities, is wasted,
and that they have helped to waste
->ther lives and the precious op-
portunities that justly belong to
them . O that many would wake
up to this fact!
Men and women who dsink, nse
nrofane lenguage, commit adultry,
or live worfdty. ungodtv lives,
wield a had influence. Fathers and
mothers who leave God out of their
lives, neglect the chnrch and S un.
dav school find fail to set the right
pxamples before their children,
wield a bad Influence. They may

of their sons and daughters in

frnow that the influenre of parents
certainly counts, and if thev leave
God out of their lives and homes,
and have no fam ily alter, aiid do
not love and cherish the H olv Bible,

are made to wonder oftentim es at
the bad influence of parentt. They
do not pray, nor go to church and
Sunday school, and maybe allow
their children to read bad litera.

w ith the wicked rowdies of the
country, and perhaps if their soas

Tip to Travelers
A wise and greatly experienced traveler was asked how he managed
to pay the proper amount to taxi-
drivers when he was abroad. .“Oh," replied he, “I take a handful of small coins and begin count
ing them into the driver’s hand,
keeping my eyes constantly on his
face during the transaction. As soon as I detect a smile on his face, I
stop doling out the money.”
“I suppose,” ventured the other, “that determines what you will pay
him ?”
‘*ITot exactly,” rejoined the experienced traveler. “I take back one
coin and return it to my pocket, for when he smiles, I know I have paid
him too much.”
FBIEN DLY ENEM IES
Oncc there was an Englishman,
Lord Pepperstickle by name, who
hod a splendid flock of roosters «dilch be had trained with loving
care until they had become the best fighting roosters in the British Isles.
One day, as he walked around his
estate, he found that one of his hired men had put all the roosters in the same pen, and all of them
were dead, lying in a poo] of
blood and feathers.Roared Lord Pepperstickle:
"G ad, man, whatever induced you to put all my roosters together in
one pan? Didn’t you know they’d
fight each other?”‘T m very sorry, my lord,” said
the hired man. “I didn’t see any
harm in putting them together because I thought by this time they'd
know that they’re all on the same
side.”
HE FOUND OUT
A girl telephoned her sweet- iwart.
"Ton’d better not come over
tonight,” she said. “Papa is
mad. He found out that we used his ear for joy riding last night.” “How did he find out?”
"W e hit him .”
That Did ItA mother was lecturing her lit
tle boy.
"Always watch your conduct,” she said. “Never do anything that
you would be ashamed of. Never do anj'thing you would be ashamed
to have the world watch you do.”“Whoopee!” yelled the boy.He jumped around, did hand
springs and cart wheels.
“What’s the matter with you?”
asked his mother. “Are you going crazy?”
'•No," he repUed. "You just told
me I shouldn't do anything that I would be afraid to have the world watch me do. Hurray! I
don’t have to take any more baths.”
Proof Enough"To whom was Minerva mar
ried?” a student asked the professor of mythology.
“How many times do I have to
tell you,” said the professor, “that Minerva was the goddess of Wis
dom? She never m arried.”
Costly W aitA stranger arriving at the town
hall of a sm all southern town found
the townspeople participating in a gala celebration.
“What, may I ask, is the cause of all tiiis excitement?” he inquired of
one of the celebrants.“We’re celebrating the birthday
of the oldest inhabitant,” was the reply. “She’s 101 today.”
“Oh, yes,” said the visitor. “I see
her. May I ask who is that little man with the dreadfully sad'countenance who is walking at her side?”
The other laughed.
"O h,” he replied, that’s the old
lady’s son-in-law. He’s been keeping up the payments on her life insur
ance policy for the past 40 years!”
Eggs om B ill of Fare
The consimiption of eggs, one of
the oldest and most wide-spread of
foods, isn’t restricted to the product of barnyard fowl. Eggs almost all birds and of some rep
tiles and fish are eaten or hav# been eaten at one tim e in some comer of the world. Those of ducks,
geese, ostriches, plovers, alligators, crocodiles, turtles, p e n g u ^

Mayans Declins In Statura
Sayi Anfhropoloiy Curator
Among the linguistic fam ily of
the Maya, who ewrived the most advanced of new. world civiliza
tions before the arrival of Euro
peans, there has been a progres.
sive decline in stature. Today th* Mayan-speaking peoples of the
Guatemalan Highlands, who retain
m u d i of the language and many ol the customs of their ancestors,
are among the shortest Indians.
Comparison with prehistoric skel- etal m aterial shows that they have lost about five centimeters, nearly
two inches.
TTiis is one of the indications from measurements of more than
200 living Guatemalans of Mayan stock in the west of the Centr.^1
American republic. Just carried out by D r. T. Dale Stewart, Smith
sonian institution curator of physical anthropology.
There are four main groups at
these highland Mayan.s, each speak
ing a different dialect. Two years ago Dr. Stewart made extensive
physical measurements of the
Cakchiquel Indians. This year he visited the isolated villa c;e of Sa-
lom a north of the high Cuchu- matanes moimtains where more
tiian 100 Mam-spea!vini> people
were studied. At the end of his trip he obtained sim ilar measurr-
ments of members of the Quiche tribe at Santa Clara, west Lake
Atitlan.
The low stature was a common characteristic of these people, he
reports. He suspects it is due '.o some, unfavorable factor in the en
vironment which has become pronounced during the past two cen
turies. The decline cannot be attributed to general economic con
ditions. The presentday Mayas are at least a.s well nourished,
clothed, and housed as their ancestors.
“Bug Collector” Pays Off
in Improved Crop Yieiils
The little m an with the butterfly
net has long been a caricature — a
fugitive from a comic strip meant to provoke m an’s funny bone along
with jokes about ab.sentmindtd
But “bug collectors” are impor
tant men in our economic setup — their' science reveals more to us
than how many legs a spider has
or that it can regenerate a lost ap
pendage.
Insects, often called man’s great
est competitors., attack cultivated
plants and livestock, destroy and contaminate stored food and clothing, and are the principal carriers
of disease of plants, anim als, and man.
But there’s the honey bee among
the beneficial insects ih&t pollinate certain plants and prove their worth in other ways.
To know the difference between the insects causing great losses
and those which &r« beneficial, and
to develop methods for eradication of the pests while protecting the
others is the job of the entomologist.
More than 26.'>,000 insect speci
mens pinned or mounted on slides at fte Colorado A. & M . College
experiment station probably represent only 15 per cent of the
species found in the state. Dr.
George M. List, chief entomolo*
gist, reports, however, that the collection is probably the largest
in the intermountain region.
Reg’lar Fellers
My ma don’t allow me to play with you,” said the boy with the
freckles. "She says you’re a bad
boy.”“My m a don't allow me to play
with you, neither,” retorted the red
headed one. "She says you’re the
worst boy in the nei^borhood.” “Gee! we’re both reg’lar fellers,
ain’t we?”

"Every Smoker Fire H aiard”
The discarding of lighted cigars,
cigarettes, and lighted tobacco from pipes without regard for
flam m able m aterial which may be
set on fire has given origin to the expression that "every smoker is
a fire hazard.” Every smoker
should exercise reasonable care in regard to sparks from lighted
cigars, cigarettes, or pipes and to
the disposal of such articles. It is generally admitted that the ordi
nary cigarette is a greater fire hazard than is a cigar or pipe, be
cause if It is laid down after being
lighted, it usually wHl continue to bum until It is consumed, where
as. under the same conditions, a lighted cigar or pipe w ill “ go out.”

Land at Opportunity
Glad he came to America 29 years ago instead of entering a Portugese university, A1 Nobrega,
shop foreman at Gardner, Mass.,
regards this as "the land of opportunity.” Born in the Madeira Islands, M r. Nobrega visited his
birthplace recently. He didn’t like
it any more. Saying his home town hasn’t moved ahead since he left, he added: " I wouldn’t chang*
places with anyone!”
"M ore Effective Than D D I”
A new insecticide developed in
Germany has proved effective
against “a much greater number of
insects than DDT,” and can often be used in lower dosages, Dr. J . T.
Thurston, research laboratories in
Stamford, Conn., reports. Although the German product, which has
been named parathio, is more
toxic to warm-blooded anim als than DDT, feeding tests conducted
with white rats at the Hazelton laboratory. Falls Church, Va., have
indicated that "there is little to fear from chronic toxicity,” Dr.
jRiurston says.

Our County And
Social Security
By Mrs. Ruth G. Duflfy. Manager
“Everybody saems to enjoy your
articles in The Davie Record. W ill
you write an article on what the
old people 65 years old can draw
for a pension if they are farmers?
If thev don’<. own land and be
come 65, can the^ draw a pension?
W hat about old folks that have
land? We all will be looking for
something in the paper soon.”
Before answering above ques
tions, I wish to thank the writer
of the above and to suggest that
more readers of this paper send
in questions they would like an
swered. If the questions asked are
of sufficient general interest, they
will be answered in this column,
it not, they will be answered by
personal letter to the enquirer.
Two plans to help protect old
people from want are included in
the Social Secur'ty Act. These
are Old-Age and Survivors Insur
ance and Old-Age Assistance. They
differ from each other in the way
thev provide protection.
Old-Age and Survivors Insur
ance is for wage earners in indus
try who are required to pay one
per cent of their wages to the
Federal Government and whose
employers also pay one per cent
of their employees’ wages. These
wage earners build up protection
during their work'ng years. When
65, if they have worked long e-
nough on jobs that are covered
by the program and are no longer
working on such jobs, they re
ceive monthly payments upon fil
ing applications therefor. These
payments are made regardless of
any other income or property the
person may have. Work not cov
ered by the progrjtn, in general,
are jobs in agriculture; domestic
service in piivate homes; Federal,
State or local government service;
and work in religious, charitable
and certain non-profit organiza-
rions. Farmers, therefore, who
have not worked in private in
dustry long enough to qualify for
benefits cannot get them under
this plan when-65 or over,
Old-Age Assistance makes it
possible for the Government to
provide for people who are 65 or
older and do not have enough to
live on. The monthly allowances
paid under this plan depend on
the individual’s own need at the
time during which aid is given. In
deciding whether a person shall
receive aid and how much he
shall get. any other income or re
source he may have is taken into
accpunt. The State, not the Fed
eral Government, decides who
shall get aid and how much shall
be paid to eaeh person.
I will be in Moeksville oti Wed

jecting results of tests conducted at Iowa state college, in which
flocks living in insulated dwellings reqmred 15 per cent less feed. The
protected flocks laid more eggs,
and fatalities were fewer.
Benefits from insulation extend
to all farm animals. Hog house in sulation, for example, makes possible earlier litters, increases hog
production, and lower feed costs.Only through proper insulation can such results be accomplished. In recent years an insulating m a
terial capable of such results has gained wide acceptance among

farmers. Known as Zonolite ver-
m icultite, it is completely inorganic, imburnable, and easily used as a
lightweight plaster or concrete aggregate, or as insulating fill. Zono
lite, a m ineral of the m ica fam ily,
weighs only about one-sixteenth as much as sand.
Perhaps its most im portant benefit is that it keeps the farm building warm and dry, and enables the ventilating equipment to work more
efficiently. Here’s how it functions in a hen house:
When outside temperature drops to zero, the heat given off by the birds m ight keep the interior at about 25 degrees. Unfortunately,
the chickens also contribute moisture to the air. At low temperatures, air cannot hold a great deal of moisture.
If the insulation is used to keep the inside temperature at 50 de
grees, considerably more water win
be removed. It is a fact that air at 50 degrees w ill hold six times as much moisture as air at 25 degrees
and w ill take that amount with it when removed from the building by
the ventilation system.
Speeds Harvest
W ith another multi-million
bushel com harvest expected this fall, America’s farmers are
turning more and more to m achinery to prepare the crop for
use.
' One improved niachine (shown
above) made by the New Holland machine company shells up
to three and one-third bushels of corn each minute. This m a
chine takes in ears of corn and seconds later ejects cobs in one
direction and cleaned shelled com in another. The shelled com is either bagged ot ele
vated into a wagon automatical
ly.
leaving Straw to Rot
Costly to Dairy Men
Leaving straw to rot in the fields w ill get a farmer as much for his
money as lighting a pipe with a 10-doUar bill.
Ivan H. Loughary, dairy specialist of the Wyoming agricultural e
tension service, says: “Use that straw for bedding down your dairy cows, and especially since the
bedding problem always become* acute during the winter montba/ H « Adds that straw is costly.

SCR[PTUBB; Isaiah 6. DEVOTIONAL, BEADING; Hoses 14,
WhatisaCalloiGod?
Lesson for October 2, 1949
Dr. Foreman
Gay Dress-Panty Set for Tots
Blouse Trio of One Yard Each
TF YOU knew exactly what God
^ wanted you to do, woidd you
do it? Of course you would. The. trouble is: How does any one know what God’s w ill is?
F o r example, a young man is
thinking about his
life’s work; what shall he choose?
Most young men would do what
they were sure God called them
to do, but what is
a call?The s t o r y of Isaiah throws some light on this
problem. (We are beginning this week a three month’s study of the
great prophets Isaiah and Jerem iah.) True, he lived some 2700^
years ago, and half way to the
other side of the world; but human nature has not changed in 2700 years.• • «
From M an about Town
To M an of God
TSAIAH was a young man about
*tow n, in the sm all but wealthy city of Jerusalem, about 700 years before Christ. He was a personal
friend of all the important people,
a man of good education, with wide horizons of interest, of independent means, eloquent, polished,
the sort of man who makes a good career diplomat.
He tells in some detail the
story of how he came to be a prophet. The story is in Isaiah
6. Perhaps if we had been
there with a camera and a wire recorder we m ight have been able to photograph the sera
phim and take down their
cries, just as Isaiah saw and heard ttem .
What we do know is that that experience changed Isaiah’s life.
Up to that time (on his own show
ing) he had been a “m an of unclean lips;” from that tim e on he
began to be a spokesman for the Lord, Let us tiy to say what the
story of that ifie-changing vision,
that call, means in terms of our own experience.• • •
The Flame of God
FIRST there was the overwhelm
ing sense of God’s reality and
power and holy majesty. No one can ever experience a call who
does not take God seriously,
A God “ afar off,” a <Jod
who is only a problem, an idea, a hypothesis, never called any
one. God alone can make him self real to m an; and only a
m an with a real sense of a living God is going to hear his
call.
Next came Isaiah’s realization
of his own unfitness and sin. A man who feels equal to a great
task is probably not equal to it. “Them as knows naw ttin’ fears
nawthin’,” as the Irish say. A man who feels good enough to
serve God, just as he is, is not good enough. A m an without a sense of
sin is too full of it.
Then comes the burning coal from the altar; Isaiah feels that
his guilt is gone. No one can fully do God’s w ill with an Tinforgiven
heart. Isaiah was not sinless at one stroke, of course, yet it is possible
to turn from allTcnown sin; it is possible to devote one’s loyalty to God; and this Isaiah did.
It was only then that he
beard the call; Whom shall I
send? In modem and less picturesque language, Isaiah was
conscious of a need he had not felt before—^that is, of God’s
need, of bis people’s need.
W hat those needs wgre w ill
come out in later studies. The point is that young Isaiah, who
hitherto had lived only for himself, now saw the need of the city and
the people amon? whom he lived.• • •
“Here Am I;
Send Me.”
■PHEN comes the last stage—
* Isaiah’s willing offer of himself.
His great t a l^ t was (he ability to use language. He could make words march and sing as few men
of any race have done. But up to that time, it seems, his gift of
eloquence had been used chiefly in telling dirty stories.
Now He has repented, and
^een forgiven, and be says to God: Use me. His vMce, bis
knowledge, b is eloquence, which he bad been nshig
against God (or at best, only for Isaiah) be was now to use for God and m an.
So there is a call: A sense of
God, near and commanding and holy; repentance; forgiveness; a
sense of need; willingness to devote a ll one’s ^ s to fill that need.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N, C.
The unimaginative brother of a
7ell-known artist was somewhat ealous of the way people talked in
glowing phrases of his brother but
tever gave him a thought. He had
eached the stage where he paid cant attention to conversations
onceming his brother.
He nearly went to sleep one day
s an enthusiastic adm irer of the irtist raved on and on about his
aintings.
“But what I can’t understand,” aid the adm irer, “is how two
irothers can be so dissim ilar,
fou’re so tall and your brother is
(uite short, isn’t he?”“ Yes,” agreed the brother, "he
tequently is.”
Whistler, the famous English ctist, was complimented on his
paintings by an adm iring lady.
“ Yes,” she said, “I was re
minded of some of your works when 1 walked along a river bank
the other day. The air was so clear
that the trees and foliage looked
as if you had painted them .”
“That’s true,” he remarked, “even Nature is beginning to get
on to the trick.”
An amateur painter called in a doctor friend of his to look at a
painting he had just completed. It
showed a m an in the last stages of
a terrible struggle against death. After the good doctor had spent
about ten minutes inspecting it
thoroughly the artist asked him
what he thought of it.“Looks like pneumonia to me,’*
replied the doctor.
Candles
If a candle is a little too sm all br the holder, you can make it
Srm by dipping the holder—pro
dded it’s m e t^—into piping hot vater for a few minutes to get it
lot before inserting the candle.
Trim m ing Wieks
In trim m ing the wick of an oil
am p or oil heater, the handiest
hing to use is a single-edge razor >lade. With oil heater wicks, saw
itraight across, and use the m etal
:lips in the wick as a guide.
Turpentine In Cleaning
When an article is cleaned with urpentine, the odor often lingers
in; but you can hasten its de- larture by steaming the garment
n the bathroom while the hot ihower is running and then airing
t outdoors for one full day.
Preventing Rust
To prevent the tub of your
vashing machine from rusting,
(our a cupful of soda chips or loap powder over the bottom of
t when the day’s washing is done.
This helps to discourage rust, but he soap isn’t wasted. When the
text wash day comes, just pour
lot water over the soap for a new latch of suds.

Truman Plumps for Brannan Plaa;
Union of European Nations Urged;
Publicity M ei in Dollar Parley
EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these colomns, they Western Newspaper Union’s news analrsts and not necessarUr of ttats are those o newspaper.
FARM AID:
No "Setups"
Whatever else his critics m ight
say of President Truman, they couldn’t charge him with picking
any "setups” when he sets out to do battle. The President has a
faculty, it seems, for jum ping
quickest to the defense of measures and proposals that have the least public support.
THIS was the case in the Pres
ident’s latest taking-up-of-arms for controversial causes. He espoused the Brannan plan of farm price supports in a speech at Des Moines. He warned that the na
tion faces unmanageable and costly crop surpluses, and urged a "modernization” of the farm price support system on the basis of
the Brannan production-subsidy program.
This is an issue which promises to be one of the liveliest in the
1950 congressional elections, and if the President was aim ing to
beat his opponents to the punch on the issue, he had succeeded.
The President’s recommendation was made in the face of disagree
ment among his own congressional leaders as to the best farm
price subsidy program to adopt and organized opposition by many
farm er groups against the Brannan plan.
M R. TRUMAN called the Bran
nan plan the most "promising method yet suggested,” but left
open the possibility that some other system could be substituted.
The Brannan plan is one, briefly,
wherein prices on practically every farm commodity would be left to
find their own level on the market with the government paying a subsidy to farmers in the form of the difference in price between what farm products brought on the open
market and the established parity price.
Opponents of the plan point out that while the consumer m ight appear to be saving money on cheaper market prices for farm products,
he would, in reality, be saving
nothing, uiasmuch as it would be his money that would be paying for the subsidy to the farmer.
COMMANDER:
Some Dispute
Amid charges that he was the candidate of the "kingmakers,”
and was under the domination of the old line leadership, George N.
Craig, 40-year old Indiana attorney was elected commander of the
American Legion. He was the first World War II veteran to be chosen for the post.
THE 3,344 delegates to the
Legion’s Philadelphia national convention gave Craig an overwhelming m ajority on the first vote.
Craig’s opponents took the rostrum at nominating time to label him
the choice o f those they claim always select the organization’s national commander.
ELECTION of officers climaxed convention sessions in which the
Legion urged continuation of aid to Chma, adopted a resolution asking the U.S. to curtail “as far as pos
sible” any further im m igration at the present time.
HIGHWAYS:
Rough Going
Thirty-four of these United States need 20 billion dollars worth of work done on their roads.
This huge highway repair bill, forecast by Senator O'Mahoney (D., Wyo.) was disclosed after a
nationwide survey of road needs.THE PICTURE was not as dark as it seemed. O’Mahoney pointed out the condition w ill serve as a backlog which “w ill afford an un
measured market for business and industry.”
He declared that everyone is aware of the depreciation of the American road system during and
following the war, but added that "few, I am sure, appreciate the
tremendous backlog of essential work which has piled up.”
As chairman of the congressional joint economic committee, the sen
ator recently sent inquiries to gov
ernors and highway authorities in every state to determine their high
way construction and repair needs.HE REPORTED 40 states had re
sponded and that of those,, 34 indicate an accumulation of highway
deficiencies which would require
the expenditure of 20 biUion dollars or more.
The information obtained has
been turned over to the U.S. bureau of public roads.
Tito's Envoy
W ith Russians repotted to be
massing troops at Ms boraets, Tngoslavia’s Marshal Tito sent Dr. Josa Tilfan (above) as his envoy to lay the Tugoslav-Mos-
cow dispute before the United Nations.
EUROPE:
Stronger Ties
At Strasbourg, France, the coun
cil of Europe’s consultative assembly called for creation of a union
of European countries with real
power in a lim ited range over the governments of member nations.
There are many students of
world problems who are con
vinced this procedure is the only one which may eventually do away
with w ar; but bemg realists, they concede that man has not progressed in selfless thinking to a degree where governments w ill agree to
overall control of any kind or degree.
THUS it appeared the idea broached at Strasbourg was doomed at its inception, but men of goodwill must keep trying, no
matter how difficult the task, if world peace is ever to become more than an illusory godl.
It has not been too difficult to
get the best minds committed to a
problem, to see the way to its solution; the obstacle always has been
that the individuals to whom the procedure must be entrusted fail in the scope and breadth of the wisdom necessary for solution.
So, when the 12-nation assembly meeting in Prance voted by an
overwhelming show of hands for federal authority for the council of Europe, it was a manifestation of hope and desire, rather than any real accomplishment.
THAT the delegates were on good, solid ground is indicated by
this portion of the resolution for federal authority:
“The government should undertake systematic instruction of the great mass of the people, pointuig out to them the undeniable advantages of union for Europe and at
the same time the dangers inherent in national isolation.”
DOLLAR PARLEY:
Information, Please
Great Britain took the lead in stripping any secrecy from the
progress of the critical conference on England’s dollar crisis.
OFFICIAL SOURCES credited Sir
Oliver Franks, the British ambassador, with a proposal that de
tailed daily reports be made in order to keep the American, British
m d Canadian people advised of developments.
This system of daily briefings has been followed at meeting of the Big Pour council of foreign minis
ters in the past, although top-level international postwar financial conferences have been a bit more secretive.
The publicity problem was among
the first which had to be ironed out by the principals in flie mone
tary discussions, as decisions w ill have a vital bearing on reducing
British dollar drain and bolstering her position.
THE PROPOSAL for daily brief
ings was said to have support from Dean Acheson, U.S. secretary of
state, but the attitude of John Snyder, treasury boss, was un
known when the proposal was first broached.
The federal administration al
ready had indicated congressional leaders would be kept informed
on the progress of the conference.
The British proposed that officials of the three powers take turn
about in giving the briefings to the press.
‘DIVORCEES ANONYMOUS'
Wojtiien Organize to Slow U.S. Divorce Rate
Uijfc'&ppy because they felt that in ^ ij^ many cases they rushed to livorce courts too soon, a group hicago women have formed a
which they hope w ill have ^effect in slowing down the ating U.S. divorce rate,
^call their group “Divorcees pus” and their m ajor aim vage other marriages which
bed for divorce.
The organization came into being as a result of an effort by Samuel
Starr, Chicago attorney, to effect reconciliation between a n es
tranged couple. But a divorced woman who happened to be in his
office at the time, was' successfid when she tried it. “I asked her to help me agate,” he said, “and be. fore I realized it, ‘Divorcees Anony mous’ was bom ."
CLOAK & DAGGER:
Russian Wise Guy
It was beginning to appear—as
pieces of the picture fell together— that Uncle Sam had been played
more or less for a sucker by a Russian wise guy who pretended to be
won over to the American ideology by the Voice of America broad
casts, and who wanted to come to America and be a United States
citizen.
LAST October 9, two Russian air
force lieutenants, Anatol Borzov and Peter Pirigov, landed in the
U. S. zone of Austria in a stolen Russian bomber. They had had
enough of Russia, they said, in effect, and would like to become
U.S. citizens.
According to the Soviet Em
bassy, Borzov suffered a change Ot heart late in July and begged for
“proSigal son” treatment. Meanwhile, U.S. agents had discov^ed
the "change” and Borzov was arrested by U.S. agents and held
secretly at EUis island. Then he was flown to the U.S. zone of Austria and returned to Russian juris
diction.
DURING the interim , Pirigov,
who says he wants to stay in America, told newsmen that Borzov
tried to bribe him w ith Soviet embassy funds to return to Russia. It was reported that Pirigov had
been beaten by Soviet agents.The one essential element to the
chain of events as to whether it proved Borzov a spy was missing.
That was confirmation. The U. S. state department would neither con
firm nor deny any of the stories being circulated.
IT merely revealed that a U. S.
note on the Borzov affair had been delivered to the Soviet embassy.
There is an old, old adage that it is “very easy to believe what one
wants to believe.” It m ay have been that sort of wishful thinking
that led state department officials to smile benignly on Comrade
Borzov’s desire to "change” allegiance and become as one with
Americans.
•PAIR DEAL':
Author Irked
President Truman continued in a
fighting mood. He told newsmen he
was going to keep M aj. Gen. Harry Vaughan as his m ilitary aide—apparently despite anything the cur
rent “5 per center” probe m ight develop.
Then, setting the theme of the
1950 congressional campaign, he lashed out with a slashing attack at
his recent pet aversion—“organized selfish interests” which, he as
serts, are trying to block his fair deal program with a "scare-word campaign.”
H E DECLINED to name the
"selfish interests,” still campaigned
against the 80th (“do nothing” he called it) congress. Evidently, Mr. Truman felt he knew a good thing
when he saw it. If he could be elected to the presidency—when
few felt he had a chance—by campaigning against the 80th congress,
campaigning against it again ought to do good for his side in 1950 ballot tests.
Getting away from the 80th for
the moment, he talked about the 81st congress, declaring that the
Democrat - controlled legislators had made progress with his Fair Deal program in the teeth of
"trumped-up slogans” like “stat-
ism ,” “welfare state,” “ collectivism ,” and "socialism .”
■niE PRESIDENT said the peo
ple w ill not be disturbed by such “scare words” dreamed up by a
“lot of paid agitators, promoters
and publicity experts who make a fat living by frightening the people
in the high-income groups about
forward-looking legislation and by organizing campaigns against it.”

D o a ll careers c a ll fo r special traim ng ?
Answer: You cannot do any job well unless you know how to do it,
and the simplest way of finding this out is to have someone who teows
how teach you. But this does not mean that the only way to train yourself for any kind of work is in a school or college classroom. Many leading newspapermen never at
tended schools of journalism and
one of the great bacteriologists of our tim e began as a porter in the
laborato^. If you can read and are not afraid to study, there are relatively few careers to which you cannot aspire.
Is acne a serious problem?
Answer: Very serious indeed to the adolescent who is suffering from it—all the more because his
parents are so apt to feel that he is “making a fuss over nothing.” For the biggest conscious problem of the i^erage teen-ager is “social acceptance,” and to feel he’s seri
ously handicapped in winning this
by a “ disfigurement” m ay retard
or block his whole adjustment to the adult world. Recommended
reading for a ll sufferers from this difficulty is a new book, "The S dn
Problems of Young Men and Women,” by Dr. Herbert Lawrence.

Is psychotherapy "for
doctors only” ?
Answer: Most of the best psy
chotherapists are doctors, and some forms of mental illness ought not
to be treated except by a physician. But since there are something like ten times as many people in need
of help for emotional difficulties as there are psychiatrists to treat
them, the plain fact is that much of this help must come from non-
physicians, and that some of these are fully competent to give it. “Psy
chiatric psychologists,” says Dr. George H. Preston, “ are not as
sistants to an all-wise medical psychiatrist, but therapists in fte ir
own right.”

NEW LOOK:
Next, the Male
The American male would be smart to move cautiously, for fash
ion designers have launched a movement to give men’s clothes a “new look” every five years.
“ The men’s apparel industry is in bad shape,” was the dim view
of the situation expressed by Myron Kahn, executive director of nation
al fashion previews ot men’s apparel, incorporated. He complained of no changes.
r IS NOT LONG since a physician
in consultation with a surgeon
often decided not to allow an elder
ly patient to undergo operation unless it was a m atter of life or death.
Because there are now so many elderly men and women in the
world and they are beginning to feel the effects of the aging process,
physicians and surgeons are studying closely the problem of surgical operation in the elderly.
In ‘'Geriatrics,” (disease of the
elderly) Dr. J . Dewey Bisgard, University of Nebraska College of
Medicine, states that there is greater need for team work be
tween the surgeon, the internist (specialist in internal diseases),
anesthetist, and other specialists,
and tiiat every detail in surgical management must be cautiously
and carefully observed.These patients should be studied
not by their age in years but by
their age physically, as some are old at 50 and others are young at
70.One im portant consideration is the nourishment of the body; if the
patient is undernourished, his
weight should be increased. \Wiile
it is admitted that lean men live
longer than fat men, it is known that many elderly men and women
do not eat as much as they really need to keep body strong, and to
provide enough fat and other cover
ings to protect the nerves and serve as a food supply in an emergency.Dr. Bisgard points out that with
the loss of fat there is a loss of sugar from the sugar or glycogen
depots—skin, liver—and also loss of protein (muscle tissue).
He suggests, therefore, that in
preparing a patient for surgical operation an all round diet should
be given and the proteins—meat, eggs, fish—should be increased. If
not enough proteins can be eaten by
the patient, then proteins in the form of amino acids can be in
jected into 3 vein.Another suggestion is that the
elderly patient being prepared for
operation should be given enough liquids to , jriiaintain the proper
water balance but not enough to
have too much water in the tissues. And during operation, no unneces
sary bleeding should occur, as too much loss of blood m ight catis*
collapse.

HEALTH NOTES
Psychiatrists make allowances for mental patients who would get
better without shock treatment and do not put patients through shock if they can be cured by other
methods.* * .
Very few surgeons operate without a thorough examination by the
physician assuring the siurgeon that an operation ia necessary.
In the electric shock treatment
for m ental disorder, the patient has no memory of the shock, does not
have to have injections into the veins, and is never conscious what is happening to him .' . * •
One reason the dental profession is standing high is the amount of research work being done by
dentists in nutrition.

Iran Wants Loan
Th e Iranian government is at
tempting a new backstage
squeeze for a big U.S. handout.
It is a demand for a 250 m illion dollar world bank loan.
The proposal was sprung by A. H.
Ebtehaj, head of the Iranian state bank and a governor of the world
bank. He is due next month for a meeting of bank governors.
Meanwhile, Ebtehaj is trying
to put on the heat in Teheran. He has told U.S. officials there
that Iran is entitled to the same kind of monetary and m ilitary
aid the U.S. is giving Turkey and Greece. He concluded one
conversation with the haughty observation that if such assist
ance is not forthcoming "the
U.S. can go to hell.”
Actually, a large flow of U.S. dol
lars is pouring into Iran. American
oil interests are paying out m illions
monthl}', and the U.S. government
is spending large sums. It has just
completed a $500,000 engineering
sur^'ey for Iran.
Strained Relations
Behind-the scenes, diplomatic re
lations between the U.S. and Iran are at the lowest ebb since the
‘20’s, when the state department deported a member of the Iranian legation for smuggling opium.Curious aspect of the current
strained relations is that Shah Mohammed Riza Pahlevi is making a state visit to Washington this fall.
His mother and several other members of his fam ily already are in
the U.S. Authorities are at loss as to the reason for Iranian gruffness.
Iran put on a huff last month at the turndown of an opium scheme.
Famine conditions exist in
Azerbaijan, northwest Iranian province. D espite large oil
royalties, Iran asked the C.S. for 200,000 tons of free grain. When that was refused, Iran
proposed to swap opium for the
wheat.
U.S. Narcotics Commissioner
Harry Anslinger vehemently ob
jected.He cited the fact that Iran is the
most flagrant exporter of illegal opium in the world, and has per
sistently defied United Nations attempts to curb this vicious traffic.
Also, that due to these notorious violations, the U.S. ceased buying
medicinal opium from Iran. Ans- linger’s forthright protests blocked
the swap scheme.
Pickets
Rep. Arthur Klein (D ., N. Y .) telephoned the District of Columbia
corporation counsel for information about local picketing laws."This is the first tim e in five years we have had a query about
that," was the answer. “The last time a member of congress called us on this subject it was the late
Senator Bilbo of Mississippi.” “What did he want to know?”
asked Klein.“He called early one morning and
said, ‘There’s a bunch of pickets outside my apartment. Is it legal for me to shoot them ?’ We ex
plained that in Washington pickets could not be molested as long as
they kept moving and did not obstruct traffic. Bilbo replied, ‘in that case, I guess I can’t shoot
them,’ and hung up.”
Public Housing Pal
During the bitter house battle over the President’s low-cost public housing bin, one of the most acrid foes was Rep. Gene Cox (D ., G a.). At one point, his trigger-temper
flared to where he struck Rep. Adolph Sabath, aged dean of the
chamber.
But Cox sang another tune the other day at the public housing administration.
Officials of Albany, G a., Ms home town, appeared at PHA
to sign up for a housing project under the new act. Albany is
the first sm all town to get such a development. And right up in
front to get his picture and
name in ^ papers was Cox— who had so violently fought the
legislation.
NOTE—Since the enactment of the measure, PHA has been flooded
with applications for low-cost housing projects, many of them, from the home towns of congressmen
and senators who tried to k ill the biU.
“Five Percenters”
Commerce Secretary Charles Sawyer’s announcement that his field offices w ill provide business
men with information on govemment contracts free of charge is
causing no concern to “5 per centers.” Reason is, the intricacies of
govemment procurement are so complex that only an insider can make any headway against them.
A ll big corporations have their own business representatives in Washington and hundreds of other coi>< cems employ part-time agents.

... FIGHT TO FINISH IN BIG LEAGUES
By H. I. PHILLIPS
MR. TWrrCHELL ANALYZES
" T LOOK FO R the most exciting
* race in years in both baseball big leagues,” declared E lm er
Twitchell, eminent sports fan, pi

analysis, based largely on getting the games by radio and television,
here it is. Beer, cigarettes, the

icebox for a cold drink were
done with such spirit and form.* • •
"In both m ajor leagues the boys
who bat out the commercials were in there trying at aU times and
they rarely failed to come through in the pinches. The game, it seems
to me, is much faster than it used
to be. When I was a boy, a game would go on aU afternoon with no
reference to a cigar, a lubricant or a drink. The emphasis seemed
to be on garters and cathartics all via the old-fashioned billboards.

FATHER AND SON
Q.—Popper, what is a British dol
la r crisis?
A.—The British dollar crisis?
Ahem. Well, er, it is a crisis over
dollars. The British have trouble buying things with the American
dollar.Q.—Like mommer does?
A.—Yes, in a way. Haven’t you
any home work to do?Q.—But, popper, isn’t a dollar a dollar in England just as m udt as
in this country?A.—No, my son. I think the W illia
boy is outside calling for you.Q.—Answer my question first
popper.A.—Well, er, the dollar is an
American unit. The British use pounds.
Q.—Pounds of what?A.—A pound is their unit ot
money. An Englishman never
asks “Lend me 10 dollars.” He
asks “Lend me 10 ponnds.”Q.—If we say we haven’t any
pounds and offer him dollars
will he refuse to take the mon
ey?A__Don’t be fantastic. Ofcourse he takes the money, but
he won’t spend it to dollars.Q.—Then what good are dollars
to him?A.—The kids are playing ball
across the street. Don’t you need fresh air?• * *
Q.—Popper, what is a sterltog
area?A.—It is an area where sterling is the monetary base. Various
countries use different kinds of money but it is converted into ster
ling, and where’s your catcher’s m itt?
Q.—Is the dollar worth more than the other kinds of money,
popper?A.—It is worth so much more
that the British can’t afford to use it to buy things until next Septem
ber. Now beat it.
BROWN-HAIRED, blue-eyed Mar
ta Toren was discovered by a film writer at the Royal Dram atic
Academy in Stockholm, where Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman
also studied. The writer tested her, and as soon as Universal-Interna
tional executives saw the test they
signed her. “Sword in the Desert,”
her fourth picture, in which she ap-
MABTA TOREN
pears with Dana Andrews and Stephen McNally, makes her a full fledged star. She studied ballet till
she was 13, wanted to become an actress when she finished high
school, but her father pursuaded her to become a secretary instead.
Three years of that, then she broke away, and dram atic school came
next.
“Sword in the Desert” is the
first Hollywood film to deal with the smuggling of settlers past the
British blockade in Palestine. Full
of action, it moves rapidly, gives film-goers plenty of excitement for
their money.

U oyd Bridges says you can’t overestimate what luck does for a
movie career. “It took me 12 solid years of struggling in Hollywood
before I got my first decent break in ‘Home of the Brave.’ Then
Eagle-Uon gave me the lead in
‘Trapped.* Since it was finished I ’ve been offered dozens of other
breaks.” Modest M r. Bridges says nothing about what his talent 1ms
contributed.
The
Fiction *
Corner
'HELPLBS' ANNE By
Richard H. Wilkinson
THROUGH the opening in the
trees above the woods road Langford could see the dull glow
against the sky. It was growing brighter by the minute, and now the smell of smoke was strong. In
I his ears there distant•n iin u ie ai,(j ominous
Fiction roar of crack- ling flames.
H e stumbled forward, his breath a sobbing gasp
in his throat, his face white and
drawn from the strain of running. It seemed that he had run a thous
and miles, though he knew it was not more than eight. Eight at the
most. That meant there were still three to go before he reached the
river. Then he’d have to swim across and make another m ile up
the slope to his cabin. By then it
m ight be too late. By then the fire m ight have swept down on the little log structure and destroyed
it, and what it contained. Anne and
little Bobby. He closed his eyes to shut out the picture.After a while he stood up and
went on. The glow agamst the sky was brighter, bright red and orange and yellow. Against
it he could see billowtog smoke clouds and occasional showers
of sparks. That m eant the flames had reached the ridge
behind the cabin. In another moment they would be sweep
ing down the slope toward bis
clearing.His spirits sank. He choked as
the smoke grew thicker and the air suffocating. Above him he heard the wail Of a rising wind,
and above the wind there was the
increasing roar of the fire. Anne wouldn’t understand until it was
too late. She was helpless about such things.
It couldn’t be much more than a m ile, he told himself. He called on
his last ounce of energy and fought ahead.
Suddenly a wild hope beat in his heart. He looked up and there at his very feet was water. The river!
He had come faster than he thought. B ut. abruptly the hope
died. Lookmg across he stared into a solid sheet of Same and smoke
belchmg sparks. The entire slope of the hill, which was between the river and his cabin, was afire.
Groaning, he sank to his knees. Before him the river
hissed and steamed as flying
fragments fell Into it. Its black depths mirrored the licking
tongues of flame with terrible beauty.
Watching with horrible fascina
tion, .Langford’s heart suddenly gave a bound. He leaped to his
feet and plunged into the water, shouting. Fifty feet from shore a
dark silhouette had come into the path of orange reflection, wabbling crazily but moving steadily toward
the shore. Atop it, was a huddled bundle of something, that moved
and propelled the silhouette forward with awkward, clumsy strokes.
T ANGFORD WADED to his arm-
■“ pits and then started to swim.
He caUgd again and a voice answered him , telling him to go back.
But he d iii’t. And presently the silhouette ranged alongside and
Anne’s frightened eyes were looking into his own.
“Bobby?” he gasped.“He’s here, under the blankets.
And I saved the hens too, and a
lot of our personal things.”Langford helped push the im provised raft ashore. But it wasn’t
until Anne had alighted and he had
carried Bobby to safety that he discovered the raft was the hencoop he’d made for Anne’s chick
ens. Four or five boards were laid across its top and lashed to
gether with part of the wire.
“It was file only thing I conid carry,” Anne was saying, " I
took the boards from the fence. The chickens are a ll in the bur
lap bag, and our things are sunk in a box on flie other side
of the river.”
Langford stared at her and for no accountable reason he began to
laugh. It was a curious sound, not
wholly rational. But the incongruity of it was jusified, for it had
occurred to him what a stupid fool he’d been to think Anne helpless.

Unguast Should Be Plalii
Says Professor of English
" ‘Git along, little dogies’ is first class English, that is, when
it is used on the range,” says a
Northwestern English professor.
Assistant Prof. Ernest Samuels, Svho is chairm an of the university’s
freshman English division and au
thor of the recent scholarly book, "The Young Henry Adams,” de
clared that language shoidd be
made to fit the occasion, and that form al “starched” gramm ar is not
always the best English.
"The cowboy’s language may not be suitable for Park avenue, but it v.’ill bring the cows home,”
he pointed out, “and the English used on the assembly line is good English for the a.«!sembly line.”
In the 18th century, said Prof. Samuels, the age of form al rhetoric
encouraged the theory that the ignorant should be hum iliated, but today we are beginning to realize
that the English language is not
the private property of the school teacher and highbrow, but part of
the cultural public domain.
It is only a very sm all audience
today that consideres the infinitive sacred, said the professor, and
most students have learned not to be shocked when they discover that Shekespeare on occasion used
"who” instead of “whom.” Even for cultivated persons who like
verbal elegance, he stated, there is a certain hani fact that they
may as well ai.-cept—that their
friends ere not illiterate if they use "like” in place of "as” for a con
junction.
Prof. Samuels emphasized that the English language should be
flexible, which does not mean careless or slovenly.
Specialist Gives Pointers
On Wrapping Frozen Meats
In records kept in the meats laboratory at Kansas state coUege on
wrapping sides of beef, heavy alu
minum foil proved to be the lea-st
expensive wrapping, costing 60 to 65 cents to wrap 100 pounds of
meat, reports Mi.ss Mary G.
Fletcher, extension foods and nu-
tritiona' specipi'.'t. Kansas State college, Manhattan.
Laminated p„L)crs cost on an
average of 80 to 85 cents per 100
pounds, and other commercial
wraps as high as 90 cents to $1 per
100 pounds. Cellophane was not
used because it has to be protected by a second wrap.The meats laboratory, under the
direction of D. L. Mackintosh, recently completed some research on
frozen pork and pork sausage. One im portsat conclusion from the
study is that sausage should be seasoned to taste before it is frozen.
Sausage wrapped in laminated paper, cellophane, or aluminum
w ill keep nine to 10 months. Miss
Fletcher informs. That without
seasoning w ill break down within
three months. Pork wrapped in wax paper should be used within
six months. Dr. Mackintosh em
phasizes the importance of wrapping meat so that there is maxi
mum contact between meat and
wrapper—to exclude air.The importance of uniform tem
peratures in the storage unit can
not be overemphasized. It is impossible to m aintain uniform tem
peratures if unfrozen food is going into the unit. It has been said that one pound of unfrozen food per
cubic foot of storage space can be placed in the unit without influenc
ing the temperature too much.
Microwave Spectroscopy
Microwave technology, bom of
wartime radar, has given-science a new technique for studying mo
lecular structure. Molecular ab
sorption, the most accurate method of determining dimensions and
atomic constituents of molecules, has always been lim ited by the re
solving power which could be at
tained with infrared absorption methods. New electronic techniques
in the microwave region have in
creased the resolving power several hundredfold. Source of this microwave power is a tunable velocity-
modulated oscillator, generating a band of frequencies around 24,000
megacycles.
Bacteria In Water
A way of killing bacteria in m ilk
or water without heat or chemicals is being investigated at the
University of Illinois. The method is to use ultrasonic waves—sound
pitched above the ability of the hu-
mr.n ear to hear. If successful, it may eliminate use of chlorine or other chemicals which leave a
taste in water when added to kill
bacteria, or of heat-sterilizing milk, which sometimes changes the flavor. Bacteria-free m ilk might be
stored without refrigeration. The
cost may be less than present methods.
Cement Paints for Masonry
A natural affinity of cement for
masonry surfaces is the basis for the development of Portl.iind ce
ment paints, which are water- thinned combinations of finely
ground cement, lim e, and pigmems of high hiding power and great color reteniion. Such products ate intended to penetrate into the
tiniest pores and bond with the surface. Cement-bass paints call
for a thorough pre-wetting of fiie surface before a coating is apidied.

FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS
Fair Proposition
Jones was hard up. He had gone
North on business, and found himself stranded. So he put through a
trunk call to Smith.
"H ello,” he asked, “is that Sm ith?”
"Yes."
“I say, old man. I’m in' a fix.
I’m stranded up here without any
money. Can you wire me a fiver?” “Sorry, Jones, I can’t hear you.”
“I say I ’m up here—no cash. Can you lend me a fiver?”
“Can’t catch a word Say it again.”
“I — tell — you — I’m — strand
ed — up — here — without — any
—money. Can — you — wire — me —a—fiver?"
“There must be something wrong with the line. Can’t get the sense
of it at all. Don’t you think ...”
At this stage the operator chipped In: “There’s nothing wrong with
the line. I can hear the caller
distinctly.' ”
“Oh, can you?” said Smith. “Then you lend him the fiver.”
THAT PROVES IT
“Why do you think you are qual
ified tor the. diplomatic corps?” Applicant: "W ell, I’ve been mar

I Definite
I Little Elsie has reached the age , where she has begun to observe and
reflect upon the manners and con- ■- duct of her elders,
i The other day a friend asked, "Elsie, how old is your Aunt Mar
tha?”The youngster considered the
query briefly, then replied, "W ell, I don’t know exactly, but a cup of
tea rests her.”
A boss had to lay off an Irishman
named Pat. To avoid argument, he put the discharge in writing. A
week later, in passing through the shop he saw Pat back on his job.
Going to the Irishm an, he de
manded fiercely.
“Did you get my letter?”“Yis sur Oi did,” said Pat
“Did you read it?”“Sure Oi read it hiside and out
side. On the inside ye said I was
fired and on the outside ye said, ‘Return to Baldwin Locomotive
Works in five days’.”
That Fixed ’Em
An old lady of the village was very angry because she had not
been invited to the picnic her
friends were going to. The day of the event, the hostess relented and
asked her to come.“It’s too ' late,” she snapped.
“I ’ve already prayed for rain.”
Nobody Listens
Theodore Hook, the famous prac
tical joker, held with the contention that people don’t pay much atten
tion to what others say on many
occasions.
On a bet he greeted his hostess at a party by saying: “I ’m sorry to be
late, but it took me longer to stranc gle my uncle than I expected.”
“Yes, indeed,” replied the lady, “so nice of you to have come.” frianH ffasDeri and naid up.
