Mukden Overlooks Vital Corridor in North China Ancient Mukden (also called Shen yang and Fengtien) has been a news-making spot lor a thousand years or more, notes the National Geographic society. It has a highly strategic position which has brought it prominence in war and trade. Situated in southern Man churia about 129 air miles from the Yellow sea coast, it overlooks the chief north ? south corridor that Joins far northeast China and the great North Plains region. As early as the 1100s, Mukden be came one of the capitals of the Tatar "golden horde" which had swept down from northern Manchuria. Later it was made the seat of gov ernment of advancing Manchu tribes, and served in the lB30s as a springboard of operation for the conquest of China. After the Man chus shifted their headquarters to Peking in 1844, replacing the Ming dynasty of China, Mukden lost its administrative post, but retained its importance as a traffic center and its royal associations, including the tombs of the Manchu emperors. In modern times, Mukden's loca tion as a natural hub of communica tions made it a key point in the Ruaso - Japanese struggle for con trol of Manchuria. The war of 1904 and 1909 between these two nations followed China's concession permit ting the Russians to build the Chinese Eastern railway?a north Manchuria short cut from thg trans Siberian road to Vladivostok: Holstein Sales Top $4,000,000 During 1945 For the third time in the history of the Holstein - Friesian breed the four million dollar mark has been exceeded at public auction. In 212 reported sales during 1949 there were 11,992 head sold for a total of $4,173,232.90 to make an over-all average of $348. In 1944 there were 11,909 head sold for an average of $327 and in 1943 the 9,190 head sold averaged $343. The highest sales average for the breed to date was made in 1920, when due to the St. Paul National in which 237 head sold for an average of $3,079, the general over-all average for that year was $372. Only 8.6 per cent of the IMS ealet showed averages of less than $200 as compared with 7 per cent In 1M4 and 12 per cent in 1M3. The highest averaging sale of the year was the U. S. National Blue Ribbon in which 72 head sold for an average of $1,811. The two highest individual ani mals were both sold at the disper sal of the Bancroft Acres herd. Montvlc Bonheur Pietje B was pur chased for $21,000 by Hays Ltd, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and Raymondale Ideal Successor was purchased for $18,000 by F. H. Merk ley, Flint, Mich. Twenty-seven ani mals sold during the year for $3,000 or more. Fish for Amber Amber Is obtained by "fishing" and by "mining." Every storm In (he Baltic region stirs up a new supply of amber pebbles to be gathered from the beaches, combed from sesweed or dredged from shoals by boatmen and by waders wearing breast-high boots and carrying nets and collecting begs. Spring, after winter storms, is the amber fishermen's busy sea son. It is mined from coastal cliffs, where the blue earth In strata two to three feet thick may yield two or mora pounds of amber to the ton. The amber pebbles and chunks are then delivered to centers at Danzig, Konlgsberg, Memel, Palan ga and Liepaja, to be made into beads, brooches, prayer . chains, cigar holders and pipe bits, gad ornaments in great variety. Down tp modem times the greatest de mand for amber has come from lands eastward from the Mediter ranean. n Central Committee ? For Carl Durham r- For Congress !' Chapel Hill, June 11. "If things didn't look good, I wouldn't tell you, perhaps," said Collier Cobb, chairman of the Cen r. tral Committee for the Re-election of Carl T. Dur ham, today when asked if his committee could re j port progress; "but while we know we can't get 1 all, the votes, we are assured of enough to convin ce Judge Rives that he made a mistake in calling ? for a second primary." e A considerable number of farmers, said Mr. Cobb, have written in or dropped by to assure Carl Dur ham that their failure to go to the polls on Satur day, May 25, was due almost as much to their dis t belief that there was any real opposition to him as * to their desire to get tobacco in and grass out of i their fields. They'll take a chance on the grass June 22, they now say because they do not want to take any more chances on Washington. ? "What's going to become of Scarborough's ! vote?" Mr. Cobb was asked. "It really wasn't Scarborough's," he replied. "It was, in main, the result of irk and itch against the restraints? many of them necessary, some not proven beyond preadventure to be so?imposed by the govern ment at Washington. But when the voting be came a matter of a choice between two decent, likeable Democrats it resolves itself into a decision as to which is the best qualified for the job at hand." "Judge Rives, no doubt was doing a masterly job of judge advocating during the time that Carl Durham was in there pitching for citizens of the Sixth district who were desperately trying to dis charge their obligation to their country and to civilization. The war, we trust, is over; but if the Sixth district did its part by the war effort, it is largely due to the leadership of a pharmacist's mate of World War I?a man who has never found any detail of duty too small or insignificant to merit his best efforts." The General and an Ex-GI Agree U. S. Savings Bonds Back the Future of Vets For Ray Augustus, Treasury Department employee who signed up (or America's greatest home front army?the payroll savers, on his re turn to civilian life, this meeting with Oeneral Dwight D. Elsenhower was a soldier's dream come true. The Army's Chief of Staff reassured the ex-private, who served under his command In the victorious assault on Germany, that the peacetime dreams of all ex-servicemen can be come realities if they remember their war training. "Prepare, prepare, prepare. This was the GI's life in wartime," says Eisenhower who urges his former soldiers to prepare for their peacetime future by saving part _of_tbeir_ income on U. S. Savings Bonds.

HADLEY'S "The Jewelers" Graham, North Carolina V 1 I- ? I - MV br gen. d wight B. Eisenhower, Chief el SUA, 0. S. Armr ! Millions of American fighting men upon return to civilian life have discovered that allotment of part of current Income for in vestment in United States Saving* Bonds has become a vital element in family life. . During their military service they were mad* familiar with wan bonds as a force for their per sonal good. In a campaign on the battlefield, victory may depend upon how sbty an army and its individual mem bers conserve their strength and supplies for vital moments. At tainment of goals in civilian life also depends upon proper husband ing ana safeguarding of an in dividual's resources. The former serviceman whd looks forward to a home or busiJ ness of his own, education for his children, or even indulgence in ? hobby can best work toward these rods by remembering his war (raining. Prepare, nrepare, pre pare?this was his life during war time. The efficiency of his own preparations was the greatest in gredient of our victory over the Axis nations. TV,, av.enl/tiev U frov+vim.*. ftkwl that the Treasury Department with the cooperation of business, in dustry, banks and post offices is continuing the sale of savings bonds. Thus he will have the op portunity to prepare for future commitments or temporary per sonal emergencies by saving some of his current income in the form of bonds, which grow in value the longer he holds them, t while obviously it is not my prerogative to tell our veterans now to conduct their lives after their release from the Army, nev ertheless, my continuing interest in their welfare impels me to urge that they give serious considera tion to the advantages offered by United States Savings Bonds. J. U. S.Treotnry D?frt Developed Hybrid Only a year and a month after a wild tomato was crossed with a commercial variety et the Inter American Institute of Agricultural Sciences at Turrialba, Costa Rica, American troops in the American tropica were eating quantities of fruit from the new hybrid tomato, "Turrialba"?which, for want of a name, Is its designation. This al most unprecedentedly quick result followed a combination of good luck, good management, wartime pres sure for food, and the rapid growth of plants in tropical areas. The new tomato is one of the first fruits of Latin American co-operation at the institute.
