Based on an estimate of the feeble-minded in the state made by a North Carolina committee which studied the problem of the feeble minded, less than one in 41 could have been protected by the opera tions approved by the Eugenics board, the article said. Difficulty in the use of this hu mane measure, the authors said "comes chiefly from the fact that the public does not understand the difference between human sterili zation and the barnyard form with which they are familiar. If each doctor would let his patients know that no detectable change results, except that children are not born, it would be possible to release more patients from institutions and there would be fewer North Carolina children born with poor mental Want Ads Get Immediate Results OOR SANDING ir a Good Sanding and Finishing Job, At a Reasonable Cost - Call Us - JWe Generate Our Own Electricity Call Mr. Downs Phone 450 Ext. 105 CE FLOOR GO. (Continued From Page Two) a hurried glance'. It is "Peace of Mind", b Joshua Loth Liebman a Jewish Rabbi. Quoting from his introduction, "It may seem strange ior a man to write a book about peace of mind in this strange age of fierce turmoil and harrowing j doubts. It may seem doubly strange ' ior a rauDi. representative of a people that has known so little ! peace lo engage in such an enter- j prise. I have written this book in ' the conviction that social peace ' can never be permanently achieved : u iuiik us individuals engage civil war with lliemseh vs." As we read the book we thought of the last words of King Christian of Denmark, who died week before last at the age of 76, which are said to have been "I am at peace with God and my soul." Surely this remarkable old king must have had peace of mind to have thus expressed him self. The book shows that we can help ourselves lind "peace of mind", which is one of the great est of gifts and reveals encour aging facts from scientific clinics that man can, wanting and will ing to make the efTort. change and improve himself. It is the kind of book you would like to keep by your bedside to pick up for a bit of self analysis, after a hard day of combating forces over which you have no control, but which you must not let get you down. There are two chapters that held especial interest for us. "Fear wears many masks" and "Grief's slow wisdom". They offer sound philosophy by which to live and find the meaning of things. ROMANIA IN A FRANK REPORT ON THE MOSCOW CONFERENCE, Secretary of State George C. Marshal outlined the vital Issues discussed by the "Big Four". On the positive side, as indicated on the map. the Foreign Ministers agreed to give further study to all Austrian questions, including the determination of "German assets In that country. They agreed to study possible limitation of occupation forces in Germany, and to exchange infor mation in all zones. The reparations question proved stubborn, with disagreement also barring the economic and political unity of Germany. There was a three to one split against the incorporation of the Saar into France and a refusal by the Western bloc to approve the new Polish frontier. The conference was credited with at least clearing the air for the forthcoming November parley. (nternottcmnl) "Peace of mind" is described as "the gift that God reserves for His special proteges. Talent and beauty He gives to many. Wealth is com monplace. Fame is nut rare. But peace of mind that is His final guerdon of approval, the fondest sign of His love. He bestows it charily. Most men are never blessed with it. Others wait all their lives yes, into advanced age for this gift to descend upon them". . . . and the extraordinary thing about the book is that it contains sign af ter sign of the road which leads to peace of mind, but it seems hard for most of us to find the way. Yet we are all hunting directions. From the frustrated young person trying to find what they want of life, to the successful business executive who has gained much, but feels the lack of this great comfort peace of mind.

The design of the memorial is in the classical style which Jefferson himself introduced and advocated for the building of the capitol. It is similar to the Roman Pantheon. It's a circular building, con structed of imperial Danby Ver mont marble, with an interior of white Georgia marble. The statue stands in a central room about 80 feet in diameter with a low domed celling, a sur rounding circular colonnade and a portico facing north. When the late President Roose' velt laid the cornerstone in Nov ember 1939, he said: "During all the years that have followed Thomas Jefferson, the United States has expanded his philosophy into a greater achieve ment of security of the nation, se curity of the individual and nation al unity, than in any other part of the world."
