BIBLE THOUGHT J*or God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have ever lasting Kfe. ? St. John 3 :16. And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. ? St. Luke 23 SM, 35. The Power For Victory ^?OOD Friday and Easter bring to a world at war the hope of eternal life through the fact of the Resurrection of the Christ who was sacri ficed on the cross "for the sins of the whole world." An Easter message from the head of the Fed eral Council of Churches in America, the Right Reverend H. St. George Tucker, D. D., entitled "The Power For Victory" offers .strength to Chris tians at this time. Some passages follow: "During April this year we celebrate the sac rifice which brought Christ's struggle with sin to a victorious climax and Easter reveals the Captain of our salvation not only triumphant but able to communicate to us the power through which His victory was won . . . The significance of His sac rifice upon the Cross was more than the preserva tion of His own integrity. He died for the sins of the whole world , . . "He who was made perfect through suffering gives to us the power to become the sons of God, Those whom He empowers are at the same time called to cooperate with Him in the fulfillment of His purpose to save the world ... For whosoever will save his life will lose it : and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it." "This is a lesson which we need to bear in mind particularly at the present time. We are engaged in a struggle to preserve the way of life, the princi ples of freedom, justice and righteousness. What is our Christian heritage? Victory in this conflict is conditioned upon strenuous effort and unlimited sacrifice. If, however, the purpose of fhis effort and sacrifice is limited to the preservation of our heri tage for ourselves, we cannot expect God's blessing upon us. The old saying, "God helps those who help themselves" is true, but it is only half of the truth. If we really believe in divine help, we must broaden the condition to be fulfilled for its reception. "God helps those, who in helping themselves, strive equally to help others. The human patriot may be content to say, "It is sweet and fitting to die for one's country," but those who through Christ have become citizens of the Kingdom of God know that the supreme sacrifice will fail to confer full and permanent benefits upon one's own country unless it includes in. its aims the welfare of the whole world." Spring Maneuver On Home Front TH the approach of the tourist season the Franklin Chamber of Commerce has already received many inquiries and letters for informa tion from prospective visitors and persons inter ested in this section. Plans will be made next Mon day evening for resuming the valuable service that this community cooperative endeavor has given in recent seasons. Chairman McGlamery has pointed out the need for sustaining the work which will advertise fhe advantages of this section for people seeking rest and refreshment from the "high pressure demanded for wartime activities. Franklin is an ideal spot for the needed quiet for overworked people of cities in hot weather, where good food and mountain air which we enjoy are rare privileges for the majority . who are fighting the war on the home front.

NATIONAL TIMBER CROP Wood has been described as the only natural resource of the coun try which can be replenished. It has also been called America's lar gest crop? in volume. The trees covering a third of the United States grow 11 billion cubic feet a year, which is said to be enough to build 2,500,000 six-room homes. The number of war uses of wood is uncountable, and is growing. It has been called on to substitute for so many scarce metals that it has been used for conduits, cul verts, gutters, file cabinets, grain bins, license tags, portable bomb shelters and wood gas for running automobiles. In many countries the cylindrical "gasogeue" which burns charcoal or chips and sends gas 1o the carburetor to propel the auto is a familiar sight ? and smell. A bushel of wood chips is said to be equal to a gallon of gasoline. Such expanded use of wood is resulting in a depletion of our for ests, and reforestation has been curtailed on account of labor. Pro duction tut year was below that of 1941 Hi spite of greater demand President Roosevelt, in directing the WPB to stimulate lumber and other forest products, reported a deficit of 6,000,000 board feet last year. One reason >vas shortage of labor and equipment, but deterio ration in productivity was another. One means of getting increased supplies is to build access roads to some IS billion board feet of previously inaccessible timber. A total of 97 suoh noads are being built, mostly in or near the Nation al Forests; 33 are access roads to timber, while 64 lead to mines. Last year's reforestation plant ing totaled only 55,832 acres, a 63 per cent decrease over the acreage planted in 1941. Most of last year's planting was done in the spring with CCC and WPB labor, which rapidly decreased. Only limited planting will be done in 1943, and dependence will be mostly on the labor, of conscientious ob jectors. Accordingly deforestation is still going on, and the Forest Service estimates that eventually 25,000,000 acres ?will need replant ing if we am to maintain our for eit resources. ?The Puth finder. Poet's Corner KEEP OUR LOVED ONES Holy Father, in Thy mercy, Hear oar earnest prayer; Kocp our loved ones, now far dis tant, Neath Thy care. ' Je<us, Savior, let Thy presence Be their light and guide; Keep, O Keep them, in their weak ness. At Thy side. When in sorrow, when in danger, When in loneliness.

Bryant Mutual Burial Association OW**t mi timiwi la ill* County Spring Check-Up For Cars, Trucks Urged As Patriotic Duty Declaring that the arrival of Spring this year brings with it a critical stage in the prservation of the notion's automotive transpor tation system, Ed Hedner, nation al director of service for Chevro let, urges the individual car and truck owners of America to accept as their patriotic duty the respon sibility of making sure their whic les are thoroughly and properly "Spring conditioned." "There are many reasons why it is tremendously important for owners to accept such responsibil ity this y.?ar," 'he said. "Subnormal driving at low speed, plus the at tendant inclination of many own ers to neglect proper service, and the rigors of severe winter condi tions in many sections of Hhe country have exacted heavy toll of the nation's cars and trucks. "Whether or not our motor ve hicles will continue to function ef fectively in getting war workers to and from th/rir jobs, and in trans porting an increasing, volume of war materials depends, to a large extent, on Ihow well the individual owners respond right now to ap peals form the government as well as the industry to put their equip ment in the best possible condi tion." Vital statistics of the nation's car and truck "population" were of fered to point up th* urgency of tlhe situation and to impress upon owners their responsibility in main taining transportation vital to the war effort. The statistics show that prior to Pearl Harbor, more than 5,000 passenger cars and 1,500 trucks, consigned to tlve scra"P heaps, left the highways , every sundown, never to return to ser vice. , Today with the birth rate "zero" as the result of the cessation of production of cars and trucks for civilian use, it is pointedly plain, according to Chevrolet's national director of service, that we must take good care of every vcfhicle now m operation, to assure its enduring usefulness in helping to win the war. ? To make sure of continued ef ficient and economical operation during the spring and summer seasons, regular motor car main tenance check-ups on a monthly rather than a mileage basis are recommended.
