s NAP HOTS By FRANCES FRAZIER Staff Writer "I WILL LIFT UP MINE EYES UNTO THE HILLS. . ." This quotation from the Bible could well be applied to any one standing on Main Street and look ing down that- long sweep toward the West. The majesty of the mountains rise in glorious splen dor, warmed by the morning sun and cooled with the verdant beauty of the foliage glinting in the last rays of the crimson sunset. It would not be possible to gaze upon that view and not feel a reverent awe for its wonder. All too soon the greens will softly lose their glamor and Au tumn will spread out her carpet of brilliant coloring. Huge Per sian rugs of indescribable hues mingled and painted by nature's brushes, will cover the mountains and their beauty will fascinate the eye and make the heart throb with the pride of possession. The peaks will don their scarlet and gold ban dana kerchiefs and parade for our admiration. Ever stationary, ever majestic, ever changing; those are our mountains. By a strange coincidence, this same sweeping street is the Open Door to travel. Midway, the buses carry their loads of incoming and out-going humans, each bent upon his destination and destiny. The morning out-pouring on their way to various positions and occupa tions: then at sun-down, they all wend their way back home again and the buses take up their crowded trail. Each vehicle bulges with humanity intent upon his private affairs. Go a little further on, and a railroad station takes care of those making longer and more adventur ous journeys. Freight cars, load ed to the rims, take supplies to every point of the compass. No matter in which part of the world one could drop in for a survey, there would be some representa tion of North Carolina. Taking Possession of Canaan HKJHLIOHTS ON THB SUNDAY SCHOOL' LESSON By NEWMAN CAMPBELL (The International Uniform Lesson on the above topic for Jury 9 ia Joshua 13. 14. Judges 1:19-21. 87. 28. the Golden Text being Joshua 14:9. "Thou hast wholly followed Jehovah." "My Words Fly Up And My Thoughts Remain Below: Words Without Thoughts Never To Heav en Will Go." William Shakespeare. This quotaton was given to the writer on Sunday, and immediately started a discussion as to what was in the mind of the speaker. It is from Hamlet and is in Mr. Shak espeare's best style. Unlike the usual trend of Mr. Shakespeare's writings, the lines really rhyme and have some sense of rhythm. We decided that the meaning im plied two lines of thought; don't "fly off the handle" and say things you can never bring back home again. And just "talk" without any background doesn't mean a thing. Now, these delineations are a long way from Mr. Shakespeare's peerless way of expression but, somehow, they come nearer to the common herd perhaps. Have you ever stopped to think how like a tiny flame of fire is a word? It strikes out and hits a mark, sometimes it cauterize a wound and at other times, it will warm the very cockles of the heart. How careful we should be in send ing out that spark of fire. No power on earth can ever restore it to its original place in our mind. Whatever damage or good it has done, remains forever. Some folk can talk and talk, end lessly, and when they have stopped for breath they have said almost nothing. Words are beautiful gar ments with which to bedeck our thoughts but we must have some thing on which to hang those gar ments or they will droop like a frock on a clothes hanger. Very few words, in this hustle-bustle age in which we live, will wend their way to Heaven as quoted, but it might be a good idea to load them on a train of thought that didn't have a single track. They will reach a destination somewhere.

WE START today's lesson with a picture of Joshua, now an old man. "stricken In years," as the Bible tells ua. The Lord spoke to him, saying that He saw that Joshua was old. and there was still much land that had been promised to the children of Israel that was still not tn their possession. Some of it had been conquered, but tt had not passed out of the hands of its possessors Into those of the Israel Ites. The Lord commanded Joshua to "divide thou It by Ipt unto the Israelites for an Inheritance to the nine tribes and the half tribe of Manassen." Our lesson tells minutely of the land still not divided, and just what tribes were to get the vari ous parts. Including cities and pasture land While the land was to be divided by lot under Joshua and Eleazar, the priest, yet, says our commentator, "the people themselves were to give the In heritances larger or smaller tn proportion to the population of the several tribes." We have no precise information concerning Just how the lots were cast In the account given in our lesson, but there Is a statement elsewhere that tells us that there were two urns. In one of which were the names of the nine tribes and one half tribe, the other with the names of 10 districts, arid that one of these was drawn alter nately Caleb Is Lesson's Hero The real hero of today's lesson Is Caleb, "a prince of the tribe of Judah," and first mentioned In the list of princes who were sent to search the land of Canaan In the second year of the Exodus. He and Joshua were the only ones to en courage the people of Israel to go up and take possession of the land Caleb came to Joshua and asked for certain land for his people. "Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-bamea to espy out the land: and 1 brought him word again as it was tn mine heart. "Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the Lord my God." Moses had promised, said Caleb, that "the land whereon thy feet nave trodden shall be thine inheri tance, and thy children's forever, because Thou hast wholly followed the Lord thy God" Now Caleb was 85. and "as strong this day as I was tn the day that Moses sent me." there fore he asked for Hebron, and tt was given him. "And the land had rest from war" which had been almost continuous since the chil dren of Israel had sighted the Promised Land. The picture of these two old men, Joshua and Caleb, who had seen the land that was promised them as theirs and pronounced it good. Is very touching. Caleb, at 85. was strong and enterprising, asking for a land that was desir able but difficult to conquer, and knowing he would succeed be cause of his faith In the God whom he had followed unswerv ingly God With Judah "And the Lord was with Judah. and he drave out the Inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of Iron. "And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he ex pelled thence the three sons of Anak." Caleb, the faithful, conquered his enemies wholly, but Judah could not drive his out of the val leys "because they had chariots of Iron" probably these were ordi nary war chariots such as are de scribed tn the Iliad. It Is probable if Judah had been more coura geous, with faith that the Lord was with him, he could have con quered even this handicap The children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusltes, and they dwelt with the children of Benjamin In Jerusalem "unto this day." Neither did Manasueh drive out the Inhabitants of Bethshean" and the other towns therein, "but the Canaanltes would dwell tn that land. "And It came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanltes to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out" The Influence of the Canaanltes was unfortunate, leading at last to turmoil. Increasing corruption and ultimate Idolatry. Distributed by King Feature Syndicate. lac. Buy War Bonds and Stamps. Major Points Are Outlined In G.O.P. 1944 Platform The major points in the Republi can platform for 1944 adopted at the G.O.P convention last week in Chicago were as follows: Victory in the war. United States participation in an international "co-operative or ganization" whose "peace forces" would maintain peace.

Extension of social security to groups not now covered. Fair and just administration of present labor and social security laws and restoration to vigor of a labor department "emasculated by the New Deal." Fair market prices rather than subsidies for agricultural pro ducts, bolstered by "support pric es, commodity loans" and "other economic means." Prompt settlement of war con tracts and fair disposal of war sur pluses, and protection of small business. Reduction of individual income and corporation taxes "as soon as the war ends." Rigid government economy. A "fair protective tariff on com petitive products." Prompt relief for the peoples of liberated countries. A constitutional amendment limiting any president to two four year terms. Abolition through constitutional amendments of the poll tax as a condition of voting in federal elec tions. Continued press freedom and a new radio law clearly defining the role of the federal communications commission. Defense of "the bill of rights" the constitution and the law of the land." State College Hints By Ruth Current, State Home Demonstration Agent N. C. State College. MARRIAGES Charles F. Robinson to Ruby Haynes, both of Canton. Achieving top quality in home canned products is an art requiring as much skill as any of the house hold arts. The following sugges tions will help the homemaker reach top quality in her canned products: 1. Select fruits and vegetables in their best eating stage and grade them carefully for soundness, size and color. 2. Wash all products thoroughly, lifting them from the water instead of pouring off the water. 3. Have the canning room or kitchen spotlessly clean and in order before the food is brought from the garden. 4. Have all canning equipment checked, washed thoroughly, rins ed ,and arranged in order of its use. 5. Make syrups before fruits are prepared for the jar. 6. Have plenty of hot water ready for use in filling- jars as need ed. 7. Follow manufacturer's direc tions carefully for various types of closures. These seven points of organiza tion and selection will' help make it possible to reach the goal of "two hours from the garden to the jar," which means not only better qual ity, but more food value per jar. A particular warning is given against over canning, described as "dangerous in more ways than one." Wray a small square of clean cheesecloth around the tins of a fork and tie securely. Keep the fork in boiling water and use it to clean tops of jars just before put ting on the lid. Only pure salt should be used in canning. Shaker salt or salt pre pared for table use is apt to make the liquid cloudy and milky. 666 P Liquid for Malarial Symptom. Li Katherine Shuford Now In England Lt Katherine Shuford of the Army Nursing Corps is now sta tioned in England. In a recent let ter to friends here she told of her work. She stated that two days after the invasion, casulties were brought into the hospital in Eng land where she is serving. That first night will always remain a nightmare in her memory she wrote. "Sherman was right when he said War is Hell, and we all know it now." Lt. Shuford stated it was won derful how well the casualties were being taken care of on the beach head hospitals before they are sent to hospitals in England. She says it should be a comfort to families back home to know how well the boys are being treated. She was stationed at Camp Gor don, Ga., her first year in service and she wrote that some of the boys she knew there came in with the first casualties, and that it is pretty tough to see the change in them, but their attitude is wonderful. The men are so generous with each other. They come in with all their clothing lost and their buddies in the hospital who have so recently been in the same boat take up a collection at once and buy them what they need from razors up. Lt. Shuford was formerly a nurse at the Haywood County Hos pital and later was with the Dis trict Health Department as a pub lic health nurse. She was a pretty young defense worker and her definition of a bolt and nut read: "A bolt is a thing like a stock of hard metal, such as iron, with a square lump at one end and a lot of scratching wound around the other end. A nut is similar to the bolt, but just the opposite, being a hole in a little chunk of iron with wrinkles around the inside. In California - ' W ) '' C 1 PFC ALDEEN H.
