MONDAY, MARCH 26, 1945 Food Shortage Looms Regardless of the turn of events in the war, it now appears certain that 1946 will bring the most critical food shortage this country has experienced. The war in Europe may end any day, but it will not end the need for shipping large quantities of food to Europe. Our vast army in Europe will be there for some time during demobilization and as an army of occupation. Parts of the army will be transferred to the fight against Japan. In addition, it will be our duty to furnish vast quantities of food to liberated peoples and to our allies. ' From America many of our food-produc ing and processing men have gone to the fighting fronts. Others have gone into vital war industries. The farm labor sup ply has reached a new low and the sup ply of farm machinery is desperately low. The food producers are going to have a tough time meeting thejr goals this year and you who buy all of what you eat are certainly going to find that you cannot find everything you want before the year ends. The reaaooa eited above are sufficient to provoke serious thought and cause you to don sotne work clothes, roll up your sleeves and get busy in the garden. When you produce, regardless of how much time, money and “elbow grease” it takes, will be that much which you will not need to buy and will release just that much to go to our armed forces, to our al lies or to people who are actually and lit erally starving to death. V Paper and Tin If oqr fighting men had neglected their duties on the front as the people at home have failed in salvage of paper and tin, this country would certainly go down in defeat. You say it is too much trouble to save an Old newspaper or cardboard box when you could dispose ofrit permanently by throwing it into the fire. ■ ‘ Maybe it is no trouble for your Bms, brothers and friends to take pillboxes from the Nazis and Japs. Paper is one of the products from the home front which must be supplied in great amount for the war machine, and one effective way to keep the supply of paper up is to save the paper wbfch is used and let it go back to the paper mills for making of other paper and pulpwood products. ^ast week the town of North Wilkes boro sent the town truck around on a can vass of the residential parts of North Wilkesboro. Four truck loads w^ere gath ered. That is a substantial amount of pa per, but was perhaps only half the amount which could have been gathered if the peo ple had used care to save and salvage all the paper which they could have saved around their homes. There will be a canvass each Wednes day. It is highly important that you take the small amount of time necessary to save your newspapers, magazines and card board and place it outside where the men with the truck can pick it up.. Tin is also badly needed. Salvage yopr food tins and keep them until a canvass is made to pick them up at your homes. ^V-- • LIFE’S BETTER WAY WALTER E. isENHOUR Hiddenite, N. C. MUCH TO KEEP US SMILING There is much to keep us smiling If we’ll only look about. And will keep our faith in Jesus, And our hearts from gloomy doubt; For indeed our God is gracious' To provide for us each day. And to make us happy-hearted If we’ll watch and trust and pray. There is sunshine in the valleys. There is sunshine on the hills. There is beauty in the landscape. There is rhythm in the rills; There is fragrance in the flowers. There is beauty in the skies. Therefore, let us sense God’s wonders with uplifted hearts and eyes. We have friends to help us onward With their faces shining bright; We have God’s protecting presence As we journey day and night. We have strength for work and duty. And for all that is worth while. If we’ll only trust the Master, Pray and labor with a smile. O there’s much to keep us smiling— Beauty, beauty all around; Grace and mercy fresh from heaven If the Savior we have found. And are living for Him daily. Blessing others all along Going in the path of duty With a victor’s happy song! omen IN THE HURCH "‘jftlarqFoujUr BY MARY FOWLER Bald to be tba first negro wom- i& miBiater to receive the degree )f doctor of divinity (Livingston College), the Rev. Mrs. Florence flandolph is ronndlng out her mtb -year as pastor of the Afri- taii M. E. Zion church in Summit, 4. J., and more than 40 years as I leader of her denomination. Dr. Randolph is a leading citizen of :hia 8ubui0>an community to which the first came as a supply pastor, md she is an honored member of ts minlsteiial association. Her tburch “family" has grown from i handful to more than 200, and hey have built a new church 'ommunity house and parsonage nie church Is supported solely by 'consecrated gifts,” for Dr. Ran- lolph will countenance no bazaar, lupper, or minstrel show to raise Doney for the Lord ... I>ft moth- irle^' u a small child, she stnug- iMtOT yearn to secure an educa- lon. She attended the public ehools of her native South Caro- later, Afesy Normal Insti- ate, N}Ddy Bible Institute, and inw Theologl^ Stemfnary. She M boon in Nngland lecturing on SDperancel and has ylslted Afri- i, the Boly Lend and Egypt. Be- Idee her own daoghter. Dr. Ran- olph educated an African girl rem Aadola, and fals girl te now •ilgMraary among her own peo- ed to service as assistant to the post-chaplain of Fort Knox, Ky., Captain Emil J. Helseth.

It now proudly talks of its $3,000 pipe organ. The instrument was secured by the women of the church who or ganized and conducted a “Thrift Shop’’ In the heart of the business district. Over a period of months they collected, from attics and cel lars mostly, and sold at the shop such formerly discarded articles as clothing, furniture, cooking utensils, electric appliances, etc., the proceeds swelling the "organ fund." "During the months that I have been associated with the Women’s Army Corps, I have been deeply Infpressed by the high caliber of the women I am meeting," says Miss Harriet Seibert, liaison work er between the churches and the WACS, working Interdenomina- tionally under the aiKinsorship of the Methodist Woman’s Society of Christian Service, “in the taaka to which they are assigned, I find the WACs combine efficiency and gracious courtesy to a degree which we might do well to pat tern after In civilian life . . . The Interest of girls in religion has also delighted me greatly. This is manifested by their attendance at chapels on the poet, at church services In town, and their active participation in such programs. They are pleased when they cim bring other girls not accustomed to church-going, and they are hap py to speak at meetings.” A community enterprise that brought 1,157 hours of nursery school to 34 youngsters in Oneida, Wisconsin, last fall, was the first nursery school to be conducted In a rural Wisconsin community. It will be repeated this year. Jointly sponsored by the Protestant Epis copal Church, the Oneida Hobart Welfare Commute, and the Wis consin Department of Public Wel fare, the nursery provided care for children between two and five years of age while their mothers harvested the crops or worked in the canneries. Parents paid a nominal sum for the care of their children and the Federal works agency met the deficit through a grant of funds. The school was housed in property of the Episco pal Indian Mission, which pro vided all their facilities and much needed equipment. Women of the Methodist Woman’s Society of Christian Service at (he Oneida Indian Missloa provided all the sheets, mattress pads and hand made coverlets. St. Mary’s Cath olic parish house housed the school for two weeks.

ILLUSTRATED COLUMN— In this modem age ttie reading public has been spdled to expect to see pidtures of whatever ^ey read about. Therefore, we be gan in this column a few weeks ago to ^ iUustrations at the heading, which some people have so ingloriously mistaken for pic tures of the author. Then, too, there are those who can’t read at all, and they must have pictures to be the objects of their, interest. Some say that the way to get somebody’s goat is to find where it is tied, cut the rope and get the goat, but that’s not the kind of goat getting we’re writing about. Oftentimes, it is something that you do yourself which gets your goat. For instance, there was the time several years ago on a crowded street in (Winston Salon when We saw the back of a fellow whom we were certain was the red-head ed pal with whom we worked, played and sometimes scrapped. We grabbed that fellow by the shoulder, whirled him around and started to land a playful punch on his kisser when, lo and behold, it was somebody else! A person we had not seen before, and thank heavens, we have not seen him since! When we saw that we had never seen the gentleman before, the fist in front of his face van ished along with the rest of us and we quickly disappeared in the crowd of a nearby five and ten. That incident, dear readers, got our goat. , Has anything silly ever happen ed to you? If 80, give us an account of it so all of us can en joy it.

BEDTIME S'TOKY— Once upon a time three bears went out for a stroll in the desert. Papa Bear sat on a cactus and said “Ouch!” Mama Bear did likewise and said, “Oh!” Baby Bear saf on a cactus and said nothing. Junt sat. Mama Bear turned to Papa Bear and said, "Gosh, I hope we’re not raising one of those Dead End Kids!” gees, and later became the Ameri can am of the Zionist movement. During most recent years. Miss Szold and her associates worked tirelessly for the rescue of victims of the Nazis in Europe. Her 80th birthday, four years ago, was marked by celebrations in Pales tine and in many cities of the United States.
