MARION PROGRESS PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY BY THE Mcdowell publishing co., MARION, N. C. TELEPHONE 64 JS. E. WHITTEN, Editor and Prop. Entered at the Postoffice at Marion, N. C., as second class matter SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.50 Six Months .75 Strictly ia Advance MARION, N. C., APRIL 6, 1944 CHEAPER HOME BUILDING Estimating that the average home builder spends about sixty-five per cent of his money in putting the pieces of his house together, the War Production Board is assisting a research project which aims to re duce sharply the cost of home building. Grosvenor Atterbury, Director of Research for the Yale Department of Architecture, is perfecting a large standardized building unit and hopes that it will cut home costs fifty per cent without destroying beauty and individuality. It should be easily possible to ef fect some progress along this line. The lost motion involved in con structing a single housing unit could be largely eliminated by chain production methods. It is also pro bable that ready-cut material will be superseded by factory production of large units. ALCOHOLIC EDUCATION The State of South Carolina has created the Office of Supervisor of Alcoholic Education. The duties of the official will be to teach the harm ful effects of drinking alcoholic leverages to the pupils of the school of the State, both white and Negro. The material used will include charts and data, text books, pamph lets, reports, etc., furnished by the anti-alcohol organizations, govern ment reports and state information services, as well as by liquor manu facturers who realize the import ance of protecting the youth of the land from the menace of their pro duct. It is entirely proper that the school children of a state be advis ed in their youth as to the dangers of strong drink. If the program is -effective it will accomplish much more, in our opinion, than the hys terical effort to promote prohibition by law. FALSE ALARMS AND FEINTS The people of the United States, along with those of other Allied countries, are intensely interested in the cross-Channel invasion which is expected to deliver the final blow to the German Army. While the day of invasion ap proaches, no person, except those in the highest positions of leadership, knows when the advance will be sounded. Meanwhile, there is little profit ±o be had through speculation as to when General Eisenhower will move his men. Winston Churchill, in his recent radio address, warned his listeners that, "to deceive and baffle the enemy, there will be many false alarms, feints and dress-rehearsals." EASTER Obeying some mysterious impulse the grass presses upward through the surface and again carpets the once barren earth. Bud and leaf and blade are moved by the same unseen animation. Guided by an unerring instinct, the birds return to their annual migration northward. The bees seek and find again in the renewing verdure of the fields the etorees for the cells of the hive. Alt through nature, from the lowest to the highest forms, life answers to a faith that is not bertayed. It is so with mankind. We are gharers in a universal order that has implanted in each living thing a faith to which it may respond with implicit trust. "Thou hast placed Eternity in the heart of man." And to man has been given assurance that this faith, too, shall have ful fillment. For there was One who was crucified and His tomb sealed with a stone. The faith of man has for its surety His resurrection and His promise: He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. —Country Gentleman The Japanese are beginning to aronUer who rules the Faciiic. BRITAIN'S WAR AGAINST | JAPAN Prime Minister Churchill, in his recent radio address, pledged the British Empire and Commonwealth of Nations to "fight side by side with the United States against Ja pan, no matter what it cost or how long it lasts." No responsible British statesman omits the opportunity to reiterate this pledge which has been made upon numerous occasions in the past. Every time the statement is! made, the news comes from Wash-j ington that the "assurance" is "en-1 couraging." Americans seem to overlook the additional fact stated by Mr. Churchill, when he said, "Actually [ we have suffered from Japan injur ies even greater than those which have roused the armed wrath of the American Union." This is a truth apparent to any body who has a kindergarten know ledge of what has occurred in the ; Far East. If the British Gvern jment, for any reason, should take ' such injuries from Japan without ; making war, the British Empire would come to an end in short order. \ STEEL REPLACING WOOD Lumber and paper used in pack ing have become such critical items in connection with war use that the Army Ordnance Department will ship loaded artillery shells abroad in steel tubes. The quantity of steel that will be used to provide these tubes is enor mous. It is estimated, in some quarters, that about seven million tons of steel will be required. This is more than the automobile in dustry used in 1941. The farmers of this section who have been urged to provide pulp wood, will readily see from this an nouncement that there is a great need for their continued exertion along this line. The pulpwood cam paign is not based upon imaginary needs or to provide newsprint. It is a vital raw material of warfare and every farmer who makes it his busi ness to provide pulpwood contribut es to relieving a serious shortage. THE REALY POOR MAN A man is poor: If he is without friends. If he has low ideals. If he has a guilty conscience. If he has lost his self-respect. If his morals are questionable. If he has lost his grip upon him-) self. j | If he is selfish, uncharitable, or | cruel. I If he has forfeited his health for i wealth. [ If his mind and soul have been neglected. If he has traded away his charac ter for money. If his wife and family do not love and respect him. If he has a disagreeable disposi tion that makes enemies or repels his friends. ! If making money has crowded out the cultivation of his spiritual life. If worldliness has caused him to j lose fellowship with Christ. If love of money has hardened Shim until the love of Christ and His i gospel doesn't stir him to do his best for missions. I If all his investments and possess | ions are laid up on earth and he has i no treasures in heaven.—Ex. ARMY DAY April 6th has been proclaimed Army Day by the President, who calls upon the people of the country to honor "the valiant soldiers" of the "mighty army of liberation." ★ ★ What l/ou Buy With WARJHMDS i Para-Ski Troopers i i When will this war end? Nobody knows, so the Army is continuing its training of Para-Ski Troopers. They're parachute troops who know their way about on skis or any other place in snow covered mountainous country. * A great measure of the success of Russia's victories last winter is at tributed to these troops who move with the silence of a snowflake. Our work on the home front is not so hazardous as that of the Para-Ski Troopers but it is important that we perform our daily tasks and make every effort to increase our regular purchase of War Eonds. V. S. Treasury Department 19 44 Out of the darkness of sacrifice and sorrow, the blessed certainty of Easter . . . out of the storm of war, the promise of victory. The year, of all years within living memory, the real spirit of Eastertide is working in the hearts of men— its hope, its assurance of the triumph of good over evil. All over the civilized world ... in great cities, in the bombed, ruined towns of England, France, Italy, in jungle chapels, free people are coming together to elebrate the greatest miracle of mankind's history. All over the world men and women will assemble to pray for victory and peace. Go to church this Easster! Join with your neigh bors, your friends, your boys and girls overseas to ex press the prayer in your own heart. Go to church to pray for peace ... to worship the Prince of Peace ... to ask for a victory. Health and "Beatify . . . Dr. Sophia Brunson How To Avoid a Crippled Heart j "Growing pains," is a term that J is used by the ignorant, who "uoo! poo" the complaints of the child ; complaining of painful and stiff joints. Even though the child may be listless and tell his mother that his throat hurts also, she has been so imbued with the false doctrine of the growing pains of childhood, that she instructs the little one to "run along and play," saying, "you'll for get it, and soon feel all right." Such j children are usually suffering from j rheumatism. j St. Vitus is a manifestation of the same disease. There are other forms of rheumatism beside the acute, in which there is fever ac companied by severe swelling and pain in the joints. If all cases of rheumatism were like this, there should be no doubt about the infection. The child would be instantly put to bed and every effort made to discover and remove the cause. We would not have so many damaged hearts, as we have at present if every child who has the manifestations of some form of rheumatism was properly treated. In fact, one of the chief causes of diseased hearts is due to some in fection which existed in childhood. It may be many years later, before the discovery is made, and then no treatment whatever will cure the trouble, the crippled heart must re main so until the end and it may be an untimely end. The valves of the heart are very frequently damaged from rheuma tism and other infections. They be come curled and retracted which causes the heart to leak. Diseased tonsils, infected teeth, adenoids, sudden and severe expos ures predispose the rheumatism which may cripple the heart. The chronic acoholic, the gormandizerds likewise, are sure to go to their end prematurely, through diseased kid neys and hearts. Parents should safeguard their children by seeing that they play every day in the sunshine and fresh air. They should be protected against sudden changes of the wea ther. Give the children plenty of plain, nutritious food. Do not allow them to munch crackers and sweets be tween meals. If you do, they will come to the table and refuse to eat what is good for them. They will | not obtain sufficient vitamins or building materials, to protect them against maladies, that may ulti mately lead to disease of the heart. Prevention is our business. Once established you may ameliorate but you cannot cure heart disease. SLAUGHTERING HOGS The War Food Administration has extended indefinitely the period in which farmers can slaughter hogs and deliver pork to others without a permit.
