THURSDAY OCTOBER 21. 1943 2.800.000 VEGETRIANS Those of us who do eat meat and can't get all we want of it. owe a debt of gratitude to approximately 2,800.000 people in the country who are confirmed vegetarians and dor.'t eat meat at all. If those people did eat meat, even under rationing, they would consume at least 5.600.000 pounds a week?so t is obvious that vegetarianism is doing a lot to keep a bad situation from being a lot worse. The Institute of Public Opinion! made probably the first survey ever | made to determine the number of people who eat r.o fish, flesh or fowl and arrived at the figure above. The figure, of course, does not include babies who art? too young to eat meat. But while we are expressing our thanks to the vegetarians vve should also give a nod of acknowledgement to those infants who get meat ration points but confine their consumption to milk, juices and the strained vegetables. Unforunately, the majority of vegeterians, according to the survey, hail from large cities. There probably isn't much hope that people who live in the country, and see juicy steaks and legs of lamb from the time they are running around on the hoof, can ever be persuaded that their appeities could be satisfield with a Sunday dinner featuring roast carrots. Dale Carnegie CURING AN INFERIORITY r-mwm TTV Have you an inferiority complex? If so. here is a helpful idea on how you can cure yourself. It is from Mrs. Patricia Sanford of Southbridge, Mass. This experience is entered in the contest on "How I curd Myself of an Inferiority Complex." "When I married into a family of musicians, my ignorance of music greatly distressed me and made me sensitive to the opinions of those with whom I was daily associated. "My huband was a good violinist and his sister and brother were pianists. Therefore our guests were largely musicians. I felt very insignificant indeed when in their society. "I determined to set about to correct this lack of mine, and hegan taking piano lessons, hoping to accompany my husband. But I soon realized I would always be a very ordinary pianist and would have to work terribly hard and consistently to remain even that. The family musicians. and our guests also, so far outshone me that I was self-conscious and miserable. "Analyzing m^ few assets. I knew I possessed a good memory, an ability to feel and interpret the other fellow's point of view, and some dramatic ability. "Fearing ridicule, I said nothing to anyone of my intentions but went to a good teacher of dramatics. The interpretation of various emotions and circumstances was a grand form of self-expression and caused me to forget my self-consciousness by actually being the character I was interpreting at the time. This assurance that I knew my subject, restored my self-confidence; and after I had sufficient sketches in my repertorie, I accepted engagments for P. T. A., men's clubs, church gatherings, and other organizations. "Our friends were delighted, and I soon became an active member of | our group, coniriDuxing 10 tne nappiness of others. In so doing, I found my rightful place." Mrs. Sanford's method was simple and psychologically sound. She found something in which she could excel, and this helped banish her feeling of inferiority. It is a principle anyone can apply. Substitute something you can do, something for which you have a natural aptitude, for something you can't do, regain your feeling of self-confidence.

HARPER Honoring Our Parents Lesson for October 24: Exodus 20 12: Luke 2:48-51: Mark 7:16-13: Johr 19:25-27. Golden Text: Ephesians 6:1. The commandment to honor par ents. which implies and includes ob eying them, was taught arid obeyet by Jesus. When as a boy of twelve, he wa: found in the temple, he was in real ity honoring his parents who hac taught him to attend upon God': house. His answer to the question ol his mother indicates surprise thai they had sought him?he would be in the temple about his "Father*: business." He returned with them tc Nazareth and "was subject untc them" Honoring God led him to honor his earthly parents. During his ministry he rebukec it ?I---' ' * Liit.- religious leaders lor their teaching that a man could contribute ti the temple and thereby be relievet of supporting his parents and con demning this is violating the spiri of the law. We might suffer the apologies o human nature, when racked by mor tal agony, to plead for Jesus on thi cross if there were no record that hi remembered his mother. But the re markable record is that he did rem ember her and committed her to thi care of the loving John. By every token, children shoulc hohor their parents, They who do an promised long life. When the peopli of a nation honor parents, the natiot endures. Think of China. Sons ant daughters can contribute to the per manence of our nation by honorinj their parents. But the first great rea son is found in the will of God, as ex pressed in the fifth commandmen and elsewhere, as confirmed by th teaching and example of Jesus?frori boyhood to the cross.

With this model, aviation cadets at this world's largest bombardier school can learn the ins tricacies of the sight far more rapidly and thoroughly than with a real sight, with its thousands of tiny parts. Lieut. Joseph J. Chopp, a former professional magician, built the model and supervises a workshop in wmcn inis ana similar devices are being produced for army air forces schools throughout the country. Botulism Is Rated No. 1 Hazard in Home Canning No. 1 hazard in home canning is botulism, fatal food poisoning caused by bacterial action, accord| ing to Dr. W. V. Cruess, professor of fruit technology. At a recent state-wide conference on home food preservation he caut tioncd the people of the western states, especially newcomers, that I i extreme care must be exercised in . canning mc-ats ana nonaeid vegetables at home. The bacillus. Clostridium botulinum, occurs in the soil and dust in all parts of the United States. The bacillus, when present on meat or nonaeid vegetables, can withstand ordinary boiling but is killed in a J it short time by the higher tempera- . ture of the pressure canner, he stated. It is destroyed more readily in an acid environment, therefore fruits and tomatoes may be safely processed in the boiling water bath. People may eat the bacteria on fresh vegetables without harm but t its toxin is the most potent bacterial poison known. This toxm is produced when the bacillus grows without air in the environment of a can ) of inadequately processed meat or nonaeid vegetables. State Owns Finnish Utilities - All but 160 miles of Finland's 3,600 miles of railways are stale owned. Public ownership also includes the 24,000 miles of telegraph lines, and most of the 118,000 miles of telephone lines. Airways link Finland with Estonia and with Sweden. Key road in the highway grid is the mo1 tor route linking Petsamo, northern port, with the south. A day's peace' time traffic count totaled 2,500 trucks, buses and motor cars. Winter temperatures pave the road with a tough upper crust that stands up to the pounding of truck traffic. Because of the Gulf Stream, Petsamo is ice free?a sea-door "spare" that can be used even though the Baltic ports should be closed by ice or : enemy action. i National Holidays . 1 Strictly speaking there are no na. | tional holidays although many of j i them, such as Christmas, New I Year's day, Fourth of July, Labor . day and Thanksgiving day, are na' tionally observed. J Such holidays have been designat{ ed as public holidays by both the j federal government and all the state governments, but the federal gov1 ernment is without constitutional ! authority to enforce such an edict > in the various states. All congres> sional acts fixing legal holidays have > been limited to the District of Co lumbia, federal territories and federal government offices. Otherwise 1 holidays are established by separate state legislation. i Cassie Chadwick t Cassie Chadwick, born Elizabeth Bigley in Eastwood, Ont., in 1857, f for a time practiced clairvoyance, but soon turned to forgery and was I ^ first arrested and tried at the age rtf Ifl Of littTo o/iiioofirtn r\lnir> owl I decidedly "queer," she nevertheless was able to dupe otherwise sensible business men into believing she was 5 a kind of ward of Andrew Carnegie and secure unlimited credit on doeu' ments forged with his name.

An instance is e the recent ordering of the ceremonial 3 hoisting and lowering of the colors y at sunrise and sunset in the Darwin g area. r Every unit in the area hoists its o flag at the mounting of the guard c (sunrise) and lowers it at retreat l. (sunset). Revival of this traditional is procedure is the answer to Britain's ir recent restoration of the "spit and . polish" tradition. iV THURSDAY-BOONE. N. C. The Mar J "" ?? ABOVE THE HULLABALOO By LYTLE HULL TEUTONIC TACTLESSNESS l The Germans have always lead the world in tactlessness. When they took Paris at the end of the FrancoPrussian war. they insisted upon staging a triumphal procession through the streets of that half-starved and bitterly humiliated city. This crowning bit of stupidity so wounded the French pride that hatred?already intense?deepened into a sort of passionate fanaticism which has ever since been almost part of Japanese religion. The Japanese ascend into the higher strata of physchological imbecility when they perform such acts as the execution of the American bombers who bombed Tokyo, and now the reported beheading of another Allied flier, and the operation, without an opiate, upon another American soldier. But the Japanese figure they cannot be defeated and therefore cannot be punished for their crimes. By ths time, however, it must have seeped through the adamantinc carniums of Mr. Hitler's Teutonic fraternity that their military position is riot so rosy as the Japs think theirs is. Under like circumstances normal self-loving human beings would begin to take stock of the days when they might become the invndecs and would soft-pedal upon atrocities and upon such revenge creating acts of sabotage and looting. Not so the Germans however?if the reports eomng from behind their lines are to be credited for added to atrocities which are said to be continuing, are new stories of sabotage and of looting. There is rumor current that the buildings <md ruins of Ancient and Renaissance Rome are mined and will be destroyed unless our armies by-pass the Holy City. Whether or not this be true remains to be seen, but even this condensation of tactI occrurcc \itAti1r1 or>nnnv> Irv ke. urifktv. iwoii\>*j<3 T? uum "HFV-1,1 k/c mumi the realm of Nazi sophistry. We are aiso told that the Nazis are looting the Museums and palaces of Rome. One would expect this from a conquering horde?but this from a retreating army whose only bailiwick may become a harvest ground for a bit of return looting." This procedure, if true, hardly ppears to exemplify the pinnacle of tactful prudence. And now to cap the climax of their genius for embittering already bitter I enemies, they plant a bomb in the | post office in Naples and destroy injnocent numbers of people who may be represented on their own "trial jury." Horrible things happen in warfare and the Germans are not the only offenders; but that race seems to be more capable of getting itself "disliked"?through just plain tactlessness and a lack of understanding of the feelings of non-Teutons?than any people on earth. Not this war only, nor the last War, but all thru the history of Germanic warfare this trait seems to stand out more prominently in this race than in any other. J. F. Rooks, eighty years old, a negro farmer of the Hobbsville community in Gates county, has purchased his second $100 War Bond.
