PICKARD Western Nvwspat^r Union \ f'lUE and more it Incomes evident that President lto?>sevelt intends to pursue a middle of the road policy In his efforts for national recovery, and ?that in the overrf whelmiimh 1 ?eniocmt^ ic next congress tliere ! || wMl he n?? one faction jagajte y*-- 'a -trons enough to die : > * .*J tulo to him. The Chief h Jj Executive and the ^ HI husiness lenders of j f ^4?| the country are grudI ually coming together, j L jF S|J and if and when they Bk $ rt?ac^ an accord on methods it will be Silas Strawn foun<i that a good many of the more radical ideas of the brain trusters will cave been discarded. The best minds in Industry and tinance are no longer standing back and merely criticizing. They are taking an active part in planning for the future welfare of the nation. Herewith are summarized some of the hnnortunf n^w ilpvelonmonts in this di rection: President Henry I. Harriman of the United States Chamber of Couipierce. in pursuance or a resolution adopted by the board of directors, has appointed a committee of six men. headed by Silas Strawn of Chicago, to co-operate with other business and agricultural associations in drafting plans for the recovery of business. The board of the chamber endorsed the continuation of relief and housing, but signified that business is still opposed to the unbalanced budget, further reduction of working hours as embodied in the movement for a 30-hour week, new and unprecedented outlays for public works, continuance of the XRA. the doctrine of majority rule in collective bargaining, ami unemployment insurance. Through the National Association of Manufacturers, invitations were sent to every manufacturer in the United States to attend a national industrial conference in New York on December f> to draft "constructive recommendations" for presentation to President Roosevelt. Among those signing the call for this meeting was John J. Itaskoh, former chairman of the Democratic party. Included in the questions the industrialists will try to answer are: What in the future should be the relation of government to business? How is the gigantic problem to be met to relieve distress and at the same time not plunge the nation into hank ruptcy or threaten its credit? How is the new flow of private cant tal into legitimate investment to be stimulated? What new moves to curtail unemployment are practical and feasible? In n petition addressed to the President and congress the National Economy league has presented a definite program for balancing the federal budget in the coining fiscal year, holding that only by balancing the budget can sustained national recovery be accomplished. The petition proposes heavy reductions in government expenditures and additional taxes totaling $03r?,000,000, but does not presume to suggest how the new taxes should be raised. The league's proposed budget is given In round numbers as follows: RECEIPTS (In Millions of Dollars.) Income taxes (1,250 Excise and miscellaneous taxes 1,500 Processing taxes ^00 Customs 200 Miscellaneous 150 xoiai .................$3,500 RFC repayments $1,000 \ew taxes 935 Total receipt!? $5,435 EM'KNDITURES (In Millions of Dollars.) Estimated general expenditures: Interest on debt $ 963 Departmental expenses 700 Veterans administration 625 National defense 500 Agricultural adjustment payments 300 Total $3,085 Estimated emergency expenditures: Federal relief $1,000 Public works 1,000 Civilian conservation corps ..5.. 350 Grand total $5,435 Not so pleasing to the Industrialists were the two speeches the President delivered during his Inspection of the Tennessee valley project, for If his predictions are borne out. his "revolution * will bring about the death of private enterprise In the power Industry. At Tupelo. Mlsa^ he declared himself flatly for public ownership of public utilities, saying: "What you are doing here Is going to be copied In every state In the Union before ws are through"; the allusion being to the fact that Tupelo has contracted for TVA power. In Birmingham the President said: "I am aware that a few of your citizenry are leaving no stone unturned to hi/w?tr ?nd harass and delay this great The Cherokee Sco national program. I am confident, however, that these obstructionists, few In number in comparison with the whole population, do not reflect the views of the overwhelming majority, *'I know, too, that the overwhelming majority of your business men. big and little, are In hearty accord with the great undertaking of regional planning now being carried forward.** Of the government power projects, j Mr. Roosevelt said: "This is not regi- I mentation. It Is community rugged in- ' dividualisra. It is not the kind of rugged Individualism that allows an in- j dividual to do this, that or any other | thing that will hurt Ids neighbor. He 1 is forbidden to do that from now on? and it is a mighty good thing. "Rut he is going to he encouraged in every known way from the national capitol and state capitol and the county seat to use his individualism in cooperation with his neighbois* individual-^ Ism so that he and his neighbors may Improve their lot in life." The President said there probabi> would be "a certain amount of?what wh.nll 1 snv??Hlgged opjv??ltf.?n to fh!*f development, hut I think that opposition is fast fading.'* II 7"1IEN the federal conference on V V economic security met in Wash- | lngton, nearly all the members of the j advisory committees were present The President told the delegates that j he would present to the coming con- ; gress bills to provide for setting up Immediately an unemployment insurunce program. As to health Insurance and oin aye pensions, ne said lie was not certain the time had arrived for federal legislation to put these Into effect, and he uttered a warning against | organizations promoting rantastic schemes" and arousing hopes "which | cannot possibly he fulfilled." Though Mr. Roosevelt conceded to the separate states the right to decide what type of unemployment insurance they would adopt, he declared that he would reserve to the federal government the right to hold and Invest and control all moneys which might be collected. This was necessary, the President added, because of the magnitude of the funds, and "so that the use of these funds as a means of stabilization may he maintained in central management and employed on a national basis." It Is expected that from $4.000,1KIO.OQO to $.">.000,000,000 would lie raised in the course of several years. OillLAl'Kl.l'lilA lawyers are tradl* tionally supposed to be able to unrave' the worst of tangles, so President Roosevelt has picked one to be chairman of th? national labor relations board. He is Francis M Riddle, of the famous r Mr* family of that name. 8 jpPtfL and he succeeds Lloyd k .'W V Harrison, who retired from tlie cliairmanship to resume his duties as dean of the kv *aw school of the UniR&i versity of Wisconsin. Francis Biddle has Francis Biddle keen engage<j jn ittw practice as a member of the Philadelphia firm of Barnes, Biddle, and Meyers. He served from 1922 to 1920 as assistant district attorney for the eastern district of Pennsylvania. Iu his new post his task will be the settlement of labor disputes arising out of the recovery act. especially those Involving collective bargaining. FOKTY-F1VE new bills were pushed through the Louisiana legislature in Hve days with Senator Huey Long on the rostrum telling the legislators just what to do. but seldom stopping :o tell them why. The "Kingttsh" says he now is in position to make the state a Utopia, or rather, in his own words, the kind of state nobody has dreamed ryC " It lc tho iron^f.i 1 Kftliof K?. liopes his "share the wealth" program will ultimately land him in the White House. The senator's most ambitious legislation is the statute proclaiming a twoyear moratorium for harassed debtors. Another bill sets up a civil service commission, composed of state administration lenders, with power to remove police and tire chiefs. That will give Long control of virtually all municipal policemen and firemen. Long said the bill was intended to take them "out of politics." Long's first contemplated move to bring his new laws into use was disclosed when he announced Clint O'Malley, Alexandria chief of police, would have to be removed from office by the civil service commission because he permitted "two riots In the public square." WHILE seemingly futile conversations about naval limitation are continuing In London, the United States and Japan are engaged In what looks like a little game of bluff. Secretary Swan son, after asserting the American navy would be built up to foil treaty strength, and that this country could beat any others In a navy construction race. Intimated the other day that it might be a good plan to send one of our great navy dirigibles on a trip to the Philippines. Vice Admiral Sanklchl Takahashl, ? " ut, Murphy, N. C., Thur? new commander In chier of the combined Japanese fleet, declared Japan was determined to retain the west Pacific mandate Islands at any cost; and that Japan's claim to naval equality with Great Britain and the United Stages with a view to an all-round reduction of armameuts is the fairest and most reasonable scheme imaginable. As Japan Is leaving the League of Nations, the mandate given her after the war by the league over the Marianne. Caroline and Marshall islands is likely to come up at Geneva next year. Admiral Takahashl says the Japanese navy is ready to resist forcibly any attempt to take these Islands away from Japan. TWO really eminent men and useful citizens passed away In recent days. One was Justice Frederic De Young of the Supreme court of Illinois, who had served the public long and well. The other was Cardinal Pietro Gasparri. most accomplished diplomat of the Vatican, who was papal secretary of state during the World war uud until 1920. P L DU PONT DE NEMOURS & Co. has supplied most of the government's explosives almost ever since tlie establishment of the Republic, and during the World war, according to testimony before the seriate special committee on munitions, ,the concern received orders totaling one billion two hundred and forty-five million dollars and paid dividends totaling 458 per cent of the par value of Its original stock. At the request of Chairman Gerald P. Nye of the committee. Lainniot du Pont, dresident of the company, has set forth his recommendations concerning the business of war munitions. These are, in brief, the elimination of nil excessive wartime earnings applied to every business and every individual, and federal control over the export of | munitions. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has gone to his winter retreat at Warm Springs, Ga., where he will remain I until after Thanksgiving day, and on the way had some interesting experiences. First he traveled to Harrodsburg, Ky., where he helped Gov. Ruby LafToon and other officials In the unveiling and dedication of a memorial to the men and women who established there the llrst permanent Anglo-Saxon settlement west of the Alleghenies. The monument, erected by the federal government at a cost of $100,001), overlooks Pioneer Memorial State park. It depicts an epoch rather than an event, and the only portrait among the many carved figures is that of George Rogers Clark, who there planned his conquest of the old northwest territory. From Harrodsburg the President went to see the Tennessee valley development which has been well called the laboratory of the "more abundant life." It was with deepest interest that he viewed the work that is being done by about 1,200 men building dams In the Tennessee river and tributaries to provide power, flood control, navigation and new liehls of work for persons drawn from unprofitable laud. Alter a visit to tne Hermitage, nome of Andrew Jackson at Nashville, Mr. Roosevelt inspected the revived Muscle Shoals plants nnd the Wheeler and Wilson dams, and then went to Tupelo, Miss., the first town to purchase power from the new federal development Senator Pat Harrison Introduced him at exercises In the town square. The party continued to Warm Springs by way of Birmingham. UNCLE SAM need expect no payment from France on the war debt on December 15, when the next installment is due. It Is stated in Paris that France will then deyr fault for the fifth / straight time. Pierre mI ; Ji Etienne Flandin. new premier, opposed pnyJ|^ fj ment In 1932, when t if : % *le wns m^d'ster of fejhMLH- ^ j finance, and his cab.,J Inet Is now taking the 'cl same position as the Wmm J previous government ?awaiting an AngloAmerican settlement Premier which would serve as Flandin a 5asjs f0r FrancoAmerican negotiations. The only idea for revision of the debts that has met with any enthusiasm in French parliamentary circles is a 10 per cent payment to correspond with the reparations relief granted Germany by the Lausanne agreement Proposals for larger amounts, or 'payment in kind." have met with coldness. The chamber of deputies Is clinging to the position that France will not pay one cent more than it gets from Germany. Federal judge chakles l DAWSON of Louisville, Ky., overruling an fttack on the validity of the Frazier-Lemke farm moratorium aot, declared "with regret" that it is constitutional. in his opinion he said: "The legislation, in some of Its provisions, is unfair to creditors, and unwise even as to farm debtors, for it Inevitably clpses to them all private sources of credit" day, November 30, 1934 k,?J ? ?lMpROVED?JU 91M913 UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL !

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT ToP: IC Witnessing for Christ. I. Paul's Greeting (v. 1). In this salutation Paul associates with himself Silas and Timothy. Silas was with him at the founding of the I church, and Timothy was the special | messenger sent unto thr-m. upon whose report this letter Is based (3:1, 2). In this epistle he sets forth the peculiar position of the safety of the church. It Is "In God the father and In the Lord Jesus Christ" Knowledge of the absolute security of the believer In Christ makes him courageous to meet trials and ooDosition. Two fea- c tures characterise this greeting. "Grace j * vc iiutu ,>*>u ami peace.** "Grace" expresses God's attitude toward them; 1 "peace,'* the resultant experience In 1 their lives. ( II. Paul's Thanksgiving (w. 2, 3). ( This thanksgiving issues from the remembrance of three outstanding 1 facts concerning the Thessalonians, J which constitute the foundation fact9 of normal Christian experience. 1. "Work of faith." This relates to 1 their belief of the gospel which brought them Into living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, and also to their Christian activity growing out of their faith. Jesus Christ said In answer to the question "What must we do that we may work the works of God?" \ "This is the work of God that ye be- . lieve en him whom he hath sent" (John 6:28. 20). 2. "Labor of Love." This means the spirit by which they performed their Christian duties. It was the expres| sion of the new law of life issuing from the enthronement of Jesus Christ In their hearts. 3. "Patience of Hope.** This refers to the strength of their endurance crowing out of their expectation of the speedy return of the Lord. The , transcendent theme of Paul's preach- . Ing at Thessalonica was the second : coming of Christ (Acts 17:7). III. The Reasons for Paul's Thanksf giving (vv. 4-7). L Their election of God (vv. 4. 5). ; Their reception of the gospel was the | unmistakable evidence of their divine ; selection. The gospel came In power i and In the Holy "Spirit. They did not j receive the gospel In mere theory, but j I in the Dover of the Hniv nhnot w?.?h? It Is received, the consequent life will | manifest Itself. , 2. They received Paul as a messen- i ger of God (v. 6). The reception of < the gospel Is largely determined by the ^ kind of preacher. Its reality will be detected In the life of the messenger. { 3. The changed life of the Thessa- \ lonians (v. 7). They "became follow- j ers"?that Is. their lives were changed i by the power of the gospel. The order i In Christian expedience Is the recep- i tlon of the gospel, the changed life, | and then the example. The Thessa- < lonians became examples to all in i Macedonia. i IV. The Missionary Activity of the ( Thessalonians (v. 8). i Their experience of the life of Jesus 1 Christ was so real to them that they 1 at once became missionaries. The word 1 of the Lord was so widely and efTec- I tively sounded forth that when the I apostles returned they needed "not to speak anything," This Is as It should , be when the gospel Is received In the i nnn'op r\f tho nfc??* rr>'? ,? uiiusu i ne gospel | is good news. Good news cannot be kept to oneself: It must be given out i V. The Results of Paul's Preaching (vv. 9, 10). I 1. They turned from Idols (v. 9). j Thessalonlca was a city largely given , op to Idolatry. Statues were to be t seen almost everywhere. The fruits of , Paul's preaching were the changed , lives of the people. They turned away , from Idols and gathered together j around Jesus Christ In the church. The idol temples were deserted and j the churches filled. , 2. Awaiting the coming of Jesus < Christ ( . 10). Their faith was so real t that they looked for the personal re- , turn of the Lord Jesus Christ to the < earth. The second coming of Christ , was a real tenet of faith of fee early , church. It Is so now wherever the gospel 1? really preached. "And every , man that hath thin hope In him purl- , fleth himself, even as he is pure.** (I , John 3:3). , SSSRIill i ?--- , Let Our Mono Be I GOOD HEALTH BY DR.

We have had many detBut there Is someway we are apportioning food to the needy, in former times it was a bare subsistence age. however, most ask: What must a I maintain health? The maintenance of teulth und the maintenance of a bare subsistence ration are two entirely different things. Particularly are health officials con:erned with the maintenance of health tuiong growing children. The children >f today are the rulers of tomorrow. For the past twenty years the United States has had the healthiest young >eople in the world. This is because we lid not have to make the dietetic sacriices the leading European countries lid during the war and post-war >eriods. Our young people hau food euougo ind the right kind of food. It Is up :o us now to see that the standards >f nutrition are not lowered to the langer point. especially should relief organizations -emember that milk Is rhe most Important food a child can have, for 'milk builds bone and muscle better :han any other food." One quart a lay per child is the ideal ration, and lever less than three-fourths quart per ftlld. If the expenditure is fairly ample, hen, according to Dr. Henry Sherman, lutrition expert of Columbia university, who quotes Lucy U. Glllett of the Vmerican Child Health association, the food money should be divided Into lfths: One-fifth, or more, for milk and cheese. One-fifth, more or less, for vegetables ind fruits. One-fifth, or, more, for bread and cereals. One-fifth, or less, for meats, fish and ?g?s. One-fifth or less, for fats, sugar and >ther groceries. But if the amount of food money has :o be drastically curtailed, then the money should be divided Into thirds: One-third for milk and cheese. One-third for vegetables and fruits. One-third for bread and cereals. "Let retrenchment of expenditures,'* jays Doctor Sherman, "take the form, Irst, of foregoing the purchase of foods of other groups, and. next, of selecting the cheaper or cheapest forms >r uriicitfH wKitiu eacn or inree ^ronpi lust mentioned as essential." Let us hope that each community ias some philanthropist who will donate. through the winter months, a teaspoon of cod liver oil to each needy :hild under two years of age. as a preventive against rickets. A point that Is not sufficiently stressed. I believe, in low cost rations, is that cheap foods can be made palatable md interesting. At home demonstration fairs. Instead of prizes being given to fancy dishes, they should be given to ttie cook who can produce the best 5ean or pea or potato soup, using only ?heap materials. For Instance a bit of iay leaf and rutabaga added to pea ?oup gives It distinction. Onions are :heap and give good seasoning. A writer commentator, discussing present living conditions in Europe, stated that l he Germans lived better on the snme food expenditure than the English did, because the German women made their rood taste pood. A food that should be used much nore frequently is whole wheat grains. iVhole wheat offers one of our cheap*t, best balanced foods. Slow boiling over a low fire for six lours will cook wheat grains. The fooked cereal contains starch, which Is fuel; protein, a tissue builder; some 'ate and vitamins. The fats and vitamins are in the germ of the grain. IVheat swells to four times Its rolume ifter boiling. When you boll the wheat, add to It eight tlme9 as much water, and never pour off excess Iquid; boil it into the grains. One pound of wheat grains contains 1,000 calories. Each cup of cooked wheat contains 200 calories or body snergy producing units, In addition to t well-balanced starch, protein, salt ind vitamin content. Whole milk, jream, or condensed milk and sugar ?n be added for goodness and to Increase the food value. A person could live on whole wheat ind milk for a long time, with the tdiltlon of onions, potatoes and tomatoes ? combat scurvy.
