THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON > K Rmium oi OortnuiMalal Hap ptoi&gi In th* National Cauilal Washing? tn, Aug 7 ? Although the defeat of Winston Churchill's Con servative party in England came as a severe shock to government head ers here, it is not expected that the victory of the Labor party will alter Great Britain's international poli cies. JFor despite the wide differ ence in the domestic goals of the different parties in England, all are believed to be in agreement on for eign policy. Consequently there is little danger of any relaxation on the [part of the English govern ment in waging the war against Ja pan or in agreeing to the terms of the Charter written in San Fran cisco. Although the charter met with little opposition in our senate, it is feared that there may be many bat tles over it when the time comes "to carry out its purposes. For, al though most senators think there is no question but that it commits our country to have troops and planes on call for international police duty, the group of isolationist senators led by Senator Wheeler, will not admit that we are so committed without passing separate legislation. They also will not admit that approval of the charter gives the President power to use troops without approv al by congress. ? ? ? Each week sees the relaxation of more government control which brings us closer, step by step, to nor mal civilian life. The War Produc tion Board says that reconversion plans are progressing rapidly in many leading industries and that more and more products will return to the market as materials become available. The fact that war pro duction orders were reduced by an overall total of about $3,500,000,000 in June gives some indication of the amount of supplies and manpower, formerly used for- war purposes, which are now available for home use. Among the products on which the WPB says reconversion progress is particularly outstanding are auto mobiles, refrigerators, vacuum clean ers, sewing machines, stoves, plumb ing and heating equipment, and elec trical appliances. Reduction in points for meats should not necessarily be interpret ed as indicating a more normal sup ply of meat. The food supply is still precarious and may become worse than at present. Most reductions in point values for foods of all kinds therefore, should be considered as only temporary. The reported shortage of soap is Moos of He NIoMEdT BY UNCLE BOB of the Kraft Dairy Farm Service Even if you can't take a vacation, remember that your cows work pretty hard to help reach the national ijiilk goal. They need a rest before 'freshening, to be lure they will be in good condition for next year's job. Extension dairymen are uniform in strongly recommending that a cow should be dry for six weeks at least before freshening. This permits the cow to rest f?r the important job ahead and gives her a chance to build tip her weight. Alabama points out It may take two weeks or more to dry off a dairy cow, If you do It right. Milk flow may be cut down by lengthening the time between mllklngs and by leaving a Con siderable quantity of milk In each quarter. They suggest that when the volume falls below a gallon per day, to stop milking. The amount and kind of feed a cow gets in its dry time has a most im portant bearing on the milk volume when the animal goes back on the milking list. Since many cows will be freshening in the near future, this seems a good time to remind you to study up on proper feeding methods. You 11 get some valuable feeding suggestions from Publication 100, Extension Service, College of Agri culture, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tenn., and I suggest you ?end for a copy as soon as possible. * Part of the fun of working out in the hc^pun is the great pleasure a fellow gets when he can quit and take a long drink of fresh, cold water right out~of the well. Something like the guy who said he enjoyed hitting himself on the head with a hammer because it felt so good when he quit, I guess. A lot of the pleasure In that drink of water la that It la fresh and clean. A cow wants clean, cool water too. It la mighty Im portant to her, to you and to that same Job the cow baa I mentioned before? meeting the milk goal. Stagnant water can be harmful in several ways. First of all the cows don't drink as much as they should, O to keep at top production in hot summer months. Also stagnant, muddy water may contain harmful germ*. Such water may cauae milk to be ropey, too. A water tank where you can keep a good rJKily of fresh water and where the cows can get at it whenever they want a'drink is the best answer, if you do not have a dean stream oc a clear pond or lake which provides good water for your dairy herd. serving of meat if he has healthy servings of fresh vegetables, a mound of potatoes and gravy and a good solid dessert. A cow feels much the same way. If your hay quality is not as high as you'd like, you can make up for this lack with corn silage. Wisconsin says corn silage is right at the top when It comes to flavor and actual food value. If It Is properly prepared. Corn silage can make the difference between good and poor h*alth, if other feed is lacking in all the things a cow needs. Most important is getting the sil age put away at the right stage. If leaves have turned yellow and ker nels are fully dented, such corn is past the right stage for silage. If kernels are still in the milk stage, the silage will be soggy and may not taste good to a cow. Wisconsin recommends making corn silage when the kernels have just finished denting and when all or nearly all the leaves are green. It might be best to start making silage a few days before kernels have finished denting, wtce your job may last several days. For a complete discussion of corn silage, you may want to get a copy of Circular 337, from the Extension Service, College of Agriculture, University of Wisconsin, Madiaon, Wise.* It has a lot of helpful ideas. *NOTIi Thar* wa?y W o 3c dwra* far pmupMifc ???<?< to mm n?K?n of ? state* bvt p nattily yovr m aSata Km a ff puwpMil? <m ?????>>)?

Mere protection for the airmen, leaa ayteos for the ladlea. one of the major headaches of the government at the present moment. Although the government assures us that the supply of soap and soap products is sufficient to fill our needs, the hoarding of soap is caus ing major shortages. Clinton P. An derson, secretary of agriculture, in an effort to halt panic buying of soap, released information to show that the soap supply available to civilians is going to be greater rath er than less than before and said there was no reason to ration it. But so far nothing has been able to stop housewives from cleaning the gro cer's shelves of all available soap products. ? ? ? Although only about 30,000 men will be eligible for release from service under the new point system established by the navy, the plan is said to have helped strengthen morale among the older officers and enlisted men who can now figure on a- definite time when they can probably return to civilian life. The simple system established by the navy is: One point is given for each year of a man's age; another point for each four months of serv ice. Fifty-three tt> 57 points are needed to apply for release, the dif ference depending on the branch of the service. Thus a man who is 41 years old (41 points) and who has been in the navy for 4 years (12 points) could now apply for release if in a branch to which the 53 quota applies.

SIX-INCH SERMON Ltuoa for August 12: GaaMis 26: 19-33; Goldtn Text: Ptmlrai 77:14 Isaac was a man of peace in a warring age and he won out in his policy of peace toward his neigh bors in Canaan. After Abraham's death the Phil istines had filled in the wells he had digged. Isaac reopened the wells; also digged another. Wisely enough men reopen the wells of truth their fathers digged? go back to the past <or the best it holds, and also, like Isaac, open new wells of truth. When the Philistines contended with his men for the wells, Isaac moved on to Beereheba. Evidently his policy of peace was approved of God, for the Lord appeared unto him and renewed the covenant He had made with Abraham. And note the effect of his policy of peace upon his enemies. They came to him at Beersheba and pro posed to him a league of peace which Isaac accepted. The covenant was celebrated with a great feast. On the morrow when the visitors had departed the servants of Isaac reported to him that they had found water. The man who refuses not water to others will have an abun dant well for himself. Isaac's career of peace was indeed remarkable for the age in which he lived. But above his distinction as a man of peace was the testimony of his life to God ? even heathen neigh bors were influenced by it and came to offer a covenant of friendship to the man God had so signally ap proved and blessed. E> ISAAC'S TESTIMONY TO GOD Ralph Robbins Heard In Piano Concert On Saturday night, July 28, Ap palachian State Teachers College was thrilled with a brilliant piano concert given by Mr. Ralph Rob bins, of McMurry College in Illinois. His dazzling technical skill, fine graduation of tone and splendid in terpretations mark him as a virtuo so of high rant. The program opened with the Beethoven Rondo in C major a number typical of Beethoven's style during his second creative period of writing. Mr. Robbins played it wit!} careful attention to phrasing and de tail. This was followed by a mag nificent performance of the Sonata in E minor by Chopin. This Sonata, so full of melodic charm, deals with a series of varying and strongly con trasted moods, the complete under standing of which made it possible for Mr, Robbins to play in a simply exquisite manner. A modern composition of much interest was the suite. for piano by Donald Tweedy. The Drag, which was the second part of the suite, was the best part of the work, ex pressing decided strength of rhyth- ' mic element. The closing group of Debussy numbers were played with thorough understanding of the composer's in tent and were full of vigor and con trast. Mr. Robbins responded graciously with three encores, two Etudes by Chopin and The Cat and the Mouse by Aaron Copeland in which he completely captivated his audience.

BRISTOL, TENNESSEE Plans to extend and improve farm telephone service; ? mural telephone service is more highly developed in this country than anywhere else in the world. There are more than four times as many Southern Bell-oper ^ated farm telephones in the South today as in 1935. Southern Bell now has under* way a wide-range program to further ex tend and improve telephone service to rural areas. Our first job will continue to be to , help win the war in the Pacific, but aa won as conditions permit, the necessary manpower and equipment will again be put to work on the job of expanding rnral service-? just as we were busily engaged in expanding this service before the wur. The goal is to bring the telephone to the greatest possible number of farm families. Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company . IMCO?rO?ATID
