UTILITY SENSATIONS The hard-hitting Truman commit tee hasn't got around to the matter yet, but some hct sensations are in store when the committee digs into the dollar-a-year-man han dling of the power phases of t^e war production program. For years one of the hottest issues in Washington has been the power lobby. It has been repeatedly inves tigated. and several years ago, aft er fierce legislative battles, the fed eral power and holding company laws were enacted to curb the lobby. The Truman committee has con fidential information that today this lobby U more powerfully enirentiicu in the capital than ever before. For months, it has been operating directly inside the government, for mulating and running the power pol icy of the OPM, which was until last week the key war production agency. The OPM power division is not only manned with utility officials, but they are still on the payrolls of private power companies. In other words, while presumably working for the government, they are actu ally paid employees oi the utilities. After being deluged with com plaints that the utility-ruled OPM novver division was secretly siding independent rural power co-ops, the house appropriations committee questioned J. A. Krug, head of the division, on these charges. Krug defended his stall, but the committee, unconvinced, ordered him to submit a detailed report on his dollar-a-year assistants, includ ing the amount of salaries they are drawing from utility companies while working for the government. Two months have elapsed since Krug promised to produce this im portant information and so far he has not done so. All the committee has received was a cagey letter from John Lord O'Brian. former corporation attor ney who is OPM general counsel, giving a list of the power division's personnel, but has nothing about their private salaries. However, the little information O'Brian did dis close speaks volumes. It shows that no less than 18 key officials in Krug's division are dol lar-a-year and "WOC" (without com pensation) men, who are still on private utility payrolls. Note: Appropriation committee members estimate that the total pay these men draw from power com panies is more than $250,000 a ye<?r. War Production Chief Donald Nelson has privately indicated he will housecleari Krug's unit. BAD FILMS IOR GOOD NEIGHBORS Young Nelson Rockefeller, who on the whole has done a good job 'or Pan - American cultural relations, has bogged down badly on films for our Pan-American neighbors. His Museum of Modern Art, which was supposed to do this, has been labor ing for nine months at a cost of $15,000 per month to the govern ment ? and finally has brought forth a mouse. Rockefeller and Jock Whitney are getting a large dose of criticism about this because they personally are interested in the Museum and have permitted an amateur group to run the show ? into the ground. Without benefit of competitive bid ding or any system of checks and balances, amateur after amateur in the Museum has taekled the job of deciding what kind of films should be sent to Latin-America. Here is a cross section of the results so far: "Better Dresses Fifth Floor," "A Child Went Forth," "The City," and "Power and The Land" ? all utterly unsuited and without objective for South America. Some reasonably good commer cial films have been donated, such as "U. S. Steel," "Greyhound Bus," ] "General Electric Excursions in Sci ence," and "The American Can Company's Silver Millions." Also Hollywood has handed over a group of pictures, such as "Eyes of the Navy," "Soldiers of the Sky," "The Battle," which are the best pictures that have gone to South America. Meanwhile the amateurs continue to chatter and muddle over uplifting the films for our Good Neighbors ? all at the expense of Uncle Sam. MERRY-GO-ROUND fl.

Farm np lOPICS FLOCK'S COMFORT NETS MORE EGGS Hen Protection Is Vital Need In Winter Season. By C. F. PARRISII ( Poultry man. North Carolina Stato Collego.) When the cold winds of w?nter blow, that's the time to think of the comfort of the farm poultry flock. A comfortable house, free from drafts, will help to keep the birds free from common winter ailments and aid them in producing a maxi mum number of eggs. too. each bird should have at least 31; to 4 square tcet of ttoor space. If the flock is crowded, ad ditional space should be provided or the number culled down to a point where ihe birds may be comfortable in present quarters. Water that has been heated to knock the chill off. or fresh from the well early each morning, will do much to prevent a cold snap from causing a sharp drop ir. egg production. For less trouble, auto matic electric or oil-heated warm ers should be installed. The feeding of one pound of alfalfa leaf meal per 100 birds will be a satisfactory substitute for creen feed it the dry faii prevented the sowing of a grazing crop. If the flock is properly housed and cared for and not more than 30 to 40 eggs per 100 hens are received daily, then there may be something wrong with the health or breeding of the birds. Although it is too late to change the laying flock this year, the poul try man should give careful thought to the kind of breeding males he uses next year, or the sources from which he purchases his baby chicks, it is advised. AGRICULTURE IN INDUSTRY By Florenca C. Weed (This is one of a series of articles showing how /arm products are finding an important market in industry.) Walnuts and Furniture Those stately ancestral walnut trees that grow about a home place are seldom thought of as farm in come. Yet individual walnut trees will sometimes bring from $50 to $100 each, occasionally more. The price is as high as ?500 per thousand feet for the best wood, the highest price of any wood grown on the farm. In the walnut-producing states, farmers have sold as much as $2,500,000 in walnut logs annually. Furniture manufacturers buy the greatest part of the wood but the more inferior grades bring good prices for gun stocks, automobile steering wheels, airplane propellers and musical instruments. In its un painted state, the wood is one of the most beautiful and has lasting beauty when finished. It is very durable and does not check or warp. Much of the fine old heirloom fur niture is made of solid walnut. Mod ern pieces are now often made of veneer which is young walnut sap wood steamed to produce the cffect of better class wood. The annual nut crop brings a steady income to growers year after year. There is a ready market for nut meats at 12 to 15 cents per pound in small quantities or five dol lars per bushel in large quantities. Scientists have improved the walnut by producing a variety with a larger percentage of meat than shell. The walnut tree grows on ground of fairly low fertility and offers a profitable enterprise for many farm ers who want to add another source of income.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQll 1ST, D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. ltrl<Mf>r<l by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for February 8 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se *ft?d and copyrighted by International Council of Rtli|:cus Education; used by permission. A Bl'SY SABBATH IN CAPERNAUM LF.SSCm TEXT? Mark 1:11-34. GOLDEN TEXT? 1 was In the Spirit on (lie Lord's day. ? Revelation 1:10. The Sabbath of the Jew and the Lord's Day (Sunday) of the Chris tian were both intended to be days of rest. The ordinary activities of life were to rw? nr.d c...c wua iu be free to worship and to rest. The manner in which a man uses this God-given day of rest is a remark ably accurate indicator of his spiri tual condition. We have before us the account of a very busy Sabbath day which our Lord spent in Capernaum, the city in which most of His mighty works were done, but which ignored Him and His teaching to its own destruc tion (see Matt. 11:23, 24). As we look at our Lord's activity on that day we learn what we may do with our Sundays to make them bear fruit for eternity. We find Him in three places. I. In the Church (vv. 21-28). The Sabbath day found our Lord with His people in the synagogue, their place of worship. The serv ice of worship was probably for mal and lacking in spiritual vital ity, but iiune-the-iess He was there. What have we to say if we miss the opportunity for fellowship and serv ice which church attendance brings? Observe that because He was there He (as a distinguished relig ious teacher) was called upon to teach the people. He taught them in the serene consciousness of His divine authority, and the people were delighted and astonished at His message. We may not serve exactly as He did, but if we pre sent ourselves in God's house on His day we will find the way opening for us to share in the worship. Jesus not only spoke, but He per formed a miracle. Certain it is that we could r.ot do what He did, but we can be ready to give ourselves in service as well as in worship, or in speaking. There is much work to be done in the church, and God's people should be ready and will ing to do it. II. In the Home (vv. 29-31). From the synagogue Christ went into the home. How appropriate! We too should go from the church to the home, always bringing with us the strength and blessing of the worship service. The daughter of a great preacher and Bible teacher said the thing she most loved in her father was that he did not give out the "cream" of his Christianity in his meetings and bring home the "skim milk." Too | often we fail to bring into the home the power and beauty of the service in the church. We who have been very sweet and spiritual in the church should not come home to be sour and crabbed. Jesus brought a blessing into Peter's home, miraculously healing his mother-in-law of a great fever, setting her free to serve. Here again we cannot do what He did, but we can, in His name, bring pow er and blessing into our homes. UI. In the City (w. 32-34). From the home the ministry ot Jesus reached out to the entire city. As the strict laws forbidding travel on the Jewish Sabbath were set aside by the coming of sundown, not only the city but the Entire country side brought their sick and needy. The scene staggers the imagina tion as one attempts to conceive of this coming together of troubled hu manity for the Master's touch. Mark tells us that He healed many; Matthew, that He healed all, and Luke, the physician, is emphatic in saying that He healed every one. We may learn from this incident that our Christian faith, which has been developed and strengthened by our time of worship and service in the church, should not only reflect itself in the home, but should reach out into the life of the community in which we live. The primary in terest of the Christian in his city or the place of his residence should be spiritual, a desire to bring to bear upon the people of the commu nity the power of the gospel. There is, however, a secondary responsibility which is of much im portance and that is the extending of Christian influence into every | phase of school, social, political, and business life. rat afiRfiA.cmjF) Bvrt wko covld >TLy tk*.t life.* *.11 st-d ?
