But it is the best agency we have found for the proclamation of eternal truth to all the people. We have no other organization to perpetuate those spiritual ideals that will .bring us a brighter and better tomorrow. Americans believe in our cherished doc trine of the separation of church and state. TTierefore, the church offers the only reli gious education that can be given our chil dren outside the home. If the Bible is taught in the public schools, the churches or interested individuals must give finan cial support. The churches offer through the gospel a means for the adjustment of human personality. Sin causes distraction and lack of adjustment. The gospel brings a man to that point where he is willing to face reality. In the quiet atmosphere of worship one becomes emotionally stabiliz ed. Unstabilized emotion is dangerous. Emotion rightly directed becomes a migh ty force for social betterment and persona' righteousness. A person becomes less pre occupied with self in the church. The prin ciples of Jesus will bring one to the point where he will forsake rugged individualism for a cooperative effort in behalf of man kind. Jesus founded the church. He loved >t. and gave him.self for it. Therefore, \vc should have no hesitation in supporting this divine institution. You can support your church by con- .stant attendance upon the worship ser vices. You can make your offering each Sunday. Perhaps you can increase your offering in order that your church may extend her ministry to a needy w’orld. You can pray for your church. Submitted by Rev. Howard J. Ford for Kivvanis Committee for Support ^ the Church. British Praise U. S. Production Calling attention to the amazing war production record of U. S. indu.stry, the widely known British magazine, The Eco nomist cites the American automobile in dustry as typical of the war productivity of industrial plants in the United States. Declaring that war production of the automobile industry’ “is the equivalent of an output of 8,500,000 passenger cars, or nearly 60 per cent more than were produc ed in 1929, the industry’s greatest peace time year,” The Economi.st adds: “Even more spectacular was the perfor mance of the country’s shipbuilders who, side by side with an unprecedented naval building programme, were able to produce 8,000,000 deadweight tons of merchant shipping (and who proposes to double that in 1943). This compares with a previous record of 1,850,000 tons in 1918. The per formance has been made po.ssible by two factors; first, the building of some 25 ship ways for every one that was in existence four years ago; second, enormously im proved production efficiency.” Anti-Racketeering Bill In adopting the Hobbs anti-racketeering bill by a vote of 270 to 107, the House of Representatives has shown that neither the American pulbc nor its elected repre sentatives will tolerate extortion and other practices by some factions of organized la bor which interfere with the efficiency and success of the war effort. The bill amends a 1934 anti-racketeer ing act by providing penalties of not more. than 20 years' imprisonnient and not more than 110,000 fine for interference with in terstate eonamerce by robbery or extortion, or toterfei'eo®® during the war with tiie transportation of troops, munitions, war' supplies, or mail in interstate and foreign Stabilization . President Roosevelt is making a fight to ward off further inflation, or should we say disastrous inflation. Many people who had been working at subsistence wages now receive four to ten times as much per week as formerly. This runs prices up and leaves the fellow with the same salary as before the war in a bad fix. The persons who are making muck jnoney are willing to pay high prices for what they want, and that condition tends to send prices spiralling unless there are rigid controls. So the president has issued an order “freezing” essential workers on their jobs at present wage rates. This is mainly for the purpose of stabilization, not only of wages, but of manpower is essential in Under the order, as we interpret it with our limited understandir g, persons m non- essential work may shift to war work for higher wages. . It is true that the cost of living has al ready advanced to a great extent, but those who pay is several times what they used to get do not mind paying high prices an still have much money left after the cost of living is paid.- . That is one reason why the urge to in vest in war bonds. Buying war bonds take.s this surplus money out of trade. As long as trfe money is idle, it will run prices up. But if idle money is in\^ested in bonds, it keeps inflation down. Aft:-«utg8^ conunoiii^ton wi7« •xh^i^''iBore' North ) .WllkMboro than in Salt Lake City Bnt their wlvea do not know it.

Borrowed Conunent PICKING WRONG THING Seems we always picked the wrong thing to do. ©ne of our first jobs wes trying to sell farm ers In the south monkeys at fl5 each. We told the farmers they could train the monkeys to pick their cotton. "It Is no use," one old farmer said, ‘‘soon as we got ’em trained the damyankees would come down here and set ’em free.” THOUGHT IT WAS CERTAIN KIND Many are the jokes on new cafe help, but this actually happened in a nearby town. A man went into a cafe, ordered a lunch and the girl asked him if he would take his coffee then. Knowing that he could get only one cup, he said he would 'wait. In a minute she came back and asked If he wanted his coffee then. He said no, he would wait. Again rhe come back and asked the same question. “Is it compulsory?”, he asked. ‘‘I don't know sir, but I will go ask.” JUGGLING THE FACTS (Statesville Daily) The Office of War Information recent ly reported that there was the probabiliW that there would be a serious food shoit- age and counseled civilians to expect mor. or le.ss severe shortages this year. But the Agriculture Department disa grees with the OWL Its economic depari- ment predicts that the civilian per capita supply of food should be as large as the 1935-39 average, and that with rationing and Victory Gardens wc ought to get along right well, thank you. And that is heartening, coming as it does from an agency that ought to know what it is talking about. Nevertheless there is a lack of consistency that disturbs. If we remember aright, it was the Agricu! ture Department that has been warning that the syphoning of manpower from the farms has ju.st about ruined agriculture; that even with concerted 'action in channel ing workers from the Army and the cities, the nation should expect agricultural pro duction to wane to the danger point. We do wish official W'ashington could get together on such important matters a.s this. The civilian morale cannot be kept to a high pitch when all and sundry be come uncertain about the future. Self-pro tection, which admittedly is the first lav." of nature, is calculated to make chiseler-s instead of patriots out of many of us—in the presence of possible hunger.

Are they giving the Weather Man the run around in measuring 1943 agricultural production? And how can the appeal for more farm workers stand up in the presence of the assurance from the nation’s foremost farm agency that the farmers will measure up to the goals set for them in spite of all visible dif ficulties. And from this distance the dif ficulties look formidable. The public has placed a lot of confi dence in Elmer Davis’ reporting. Under his direction OWI has earned that confi dence. In this case he got his figures from one sector of the Department of Agricul ture. It must be disconcerting to him to have another division present an opposite view. Maybe he is as much disturbed about it as the next one—^and with no greater power to do anything about it. fluota, aeoordl^c to Qoal rvlaaeed today *or .*l«iiA«r oral Johil T.
