PAGE FOUR OPA Prepares For Vet Plan RAELEIGH, February.—A broad program for assisting veterans of this war to return to businesses or employment affected by OPA regu lations and for veteran participa tion with other groups in the work of price control and rationing was announoed today by District Direct or Theodore S. Johnson, of the Ra leigh District Office of Price Ad ministration. William B. Duncan, of Raleigh, active in American Legion affairs and now rationing attorney for the OPA, was named to serve as veter ans relations advisor effective at once. Duncan will be responsible for giving veterans special services and advise concerning regulations and help in handling all problems con nected with government wartime regulations. Johnson said that OPA is work ing closely with George K. Snow, state commander of the American Legion. "OPA has a deep sense of re sponsibility toward returned service men," Johnson said. "The OPA pro gram vitally affects the lives of veterans in a good many ways. “As a first important step, we will provide special advisory service to veterans in our National, Regional and District Offices. Here in the district office, we have designated a veterans relations advisor to help with the program. “We are revising our food ration- j ing regulations to provide veterans with as much assistance as supply conditions permit in starting new j businesses which use rationed foodj products as raw materials. “Since OPA is the largest Federal j Civilian Agency, we have a respon sibility and opportunity to offer ] federal employment to returned servicemen and disabled veterans, i We expect to continue and increase j our present efforts through civil I service to recruit veterans for OPA j service. “We expect to keep in close touch j with representatives of veterans or- j ganizations. I plan to sit down and j discuss with them freely the prob- j lems facing veterans and how our i programs can help them. “We expect to appoint a veterans! relations advisor. Beyond this, we have already named Mr. Duncan, who is on our staff, as a veteran's advisor. “The job of the veteran’s advisor will include the establishment of an OPA veteran’s advisory committee. Such committee will discuss and plan: 1.

Further jmore, he will assist the veteran in | getting information as to the extent jto which regulations of other fed eral agencies may affect his busi i ness. I “OPA price and rationing regula i tions affect veterans as businessmen jor potential businessmen. Some of our price regulations have clauses in them which restrict the field to those who were in it before a cer tain date. Several of our rationing regulations, especially in the case of sugar, fats and oils, have a sim ilar effect. “We are well along in the process of amending our price and ration-; ing regulations to meet this prob-; ■ lem. j ‘Tn formulating these revisions of j our regulations we are keeping in close touch with other federal agen cies exercising allocation powers so 1 ! that all the business needs of a vet eran entering a new business may be considered under a uniform gov ernment policy. In discussing this ■ policy with other agencies we do not 1 want to delay our actions any long er than absolutely necessary.” In announcing the special OPA program to aid returning war vet erans, Johnson pointed out that the overall OPA job of price and rent control and rationing likewise is of ; great benefit to all servicemen and their families. "First, the immediate job of OPA is to hold down the cost of living. This is obviously in the interest of veterans, servicemen, their families and dependents, who represent one of the largest segments of our people having a heavy stake in the success of price control and rationing. The value of servicemen’s pay and fami ly allotments, veterans benefits, in surance, disability allowances and loans are all obviously affected by the price they have to pay. Conse quently, we are undertaking special ; enforcement and compliance cam- THE COURIER-TIMES Girl He Leaves Behind Does Not Wail For Man JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 25. What could have been a very line romance—complete with movie end ing—lias been nipped in tile bud. From the battlefields of Luzon this message Was relayed from point to point until it reached Jackson ville : "Very important that you get to San Francisco in the next few days.’ The message was to Miss Lor raine Fulp, care of National Air Lines, Jacksonville. Fla. The send er was handsome Capt. Robert V. Ball. Richmond, Calif., headed homeward from Manila with 30 days leave and matrimony in his heart. It could have been a very line romance —except. . . Miss Lorraine Fulp is now ad dressed as Mrs. George Cook. Jack sonville—as ol Jan. 23.—this year. Mrs. Cook was surprised, and pleased, to hear from Capt. Robert Ball —and small wonder. Robert hasn't been available for the past few years. As a matter of fact, Robert deserves to be met by a pretty girl in San Frahcisco. He's J had a father busy time of it. He had been a key man in the American intelligence setup in the Philippines and supplied General j Douglas MacArthur with informa | tion which aided in the Luzon cam : paign. j During the past year he has op | erated a radio station on Luzon right under the noses of the Japs. | Robert was on duty at Mindanao : when the garrison surrendered to i the Japs in 1941. He later escaped and joined Colonel Fertig's famed guerillas. Since, lie's been all over the island doing all kinds of chores for the American Army and Navy, I with Japs about five steps behind all the way. But while Robert was dodging Japs on Luzon his thoughts turned romantic-wise from time to time— especially to the pretty girl he met in a drug store in Sarasota, Fla., in 1940. Lorraine and Robert correspond ed for a time, then the war kind of broke things off. Lorraine had tried to write and tell Robert about her approaching marriage, but the mail was pretty slow. By this time the return message has reached Robert. Lorraine won't be waiting on the dock in San Fran cisco, but it's hoped some pretty girl will be. o Boosts Premium For Grade Corn Washington, Feb. 20.—The OPA today authorized a premium allow ance of one-half cent a bushel for all No. 1 corn, effective February 26th. This boosts the ceiling price to $1.16 1-2 a bushel, Chicago basis, one-half cent over the base maxi mum for No. 2 yellotv corn, and No. 2 mixed corn. All white corn continues to carry a premium of 15 cents a bushel over yellow corn. The premium is being allowed in recognition of the better quality of No. 1 corn, the OPA said. paigns in areas in which there are important training camps, rehabili tation centers or other military ox naval institutions. "Second, in order to aid the cause for which the veteran has fought, we must ration scarce commodities to assure that they are used with maximum effectiveness in winning tlie war. For example, we must be sure that the critically short supply of large size truck tires is distribut ed exclusively to most essential ac tivities. “Third, OPA is trying to preserve a stable economy during the war period and as long afterward as in flationary pressures last. “Veterans, like the rest of us, want to get rid of price control and rationing as soon as conditions per mit. But, like the rest of us, they wat to see these controls work while the dangers of sharply rising prices and unfair distribution of limited supplies still face us. "They have before them the mem ory of what happened after the last war, when the veteran’s problem in getting a job or re-entering business was aggravated by the collapse that followed the inflationary period of 1914-1920. All of us are agreed that we must not let that happen again." PHONE 3601 Quality Drj Cleaning Service Dry Cleaners Claude Harris, Owner Ocean Tankers Save Day in Fuel Pinch WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—Ocean going tankers kept many eastern cities and towns “from running ! completely dry” when severe storms crippled overland transportation facilities recently. This was disclosed yesterday by the Petroleum Administration for War which reported that tankers 1 brought 570,910 barrels of petrole um and petroleum products daily in i to East Coast ports during the week ended Feb. 3. This was the highest weekly shtp i ments by tankers since April, 1942, when tankers were requisitioned by ‘ the War Shipping Administration and largely diverted to the carry | ing of military supplies. Deputy Administrator Ralph K. Davies said the taaker movement assumed great importance since | tank-car deliveries during the week ended Feb. 10, fell to a three-year low for the second successive week with a shipment of 425.155 barrels daily. Urge A Os L In World Union An ardent new plea to the Amer i ican Federation of Labor "to forsake its path of isolation” and Join in the World Trade Union organiza : tion with all other countries, was a feature of an address here by Sir Walter Citrine, General Secretary 'of the British Trade Union Confer j ence. I Sir Walter did not actually men tion the A. F. of L. by name but addressed an appeal to “certain powerful organizations” not repre- I sented in the current talks.

Funderburk,) Pastor of Mill Creek and Bethel Hill Baptist Churches. TEXT: ISIAH: 52-1 When we are asked concerning the strength of our church, we al most invariably think only of its numerical and financial strength. These things do not necessarily con stitute a strong church. Then, what are some of the elements of church strength? Unimpeachable belief in the teach ings of God’s word: We must be lieve its teachings respecting salva tion. Almost anyone will declare his belief in the efficacy of the blood of Jesus Christ. Yet, that belief does not become an element of church strength until one believes it strongly enough to apply it to the lives of sinners. The efficacy of the blood of Jesus Christ is one of the cardinal tenets of the Christian church. The church that is strong in the strength of God will make the salvation of sinners the chief object of its being. The church that believes and acts upon the truth will be blessed by the truth. It mat ters not how much a church may profess to believe in this truth, if it does not try to reclaim the lost it will have failed in God’s .sight. Intelligent Christian living: The church that lives well will succeed well.

Rather than waste or pulp them it was decided to print large-scale maps of Germany on their backs. British forces now are using the maps in their invasion of Germany. GOP Future Seen In Building Up NEW YORK, Feb. 23 —Herbert Brownell, Jr., Republican National Chairman, said Feb. 16 that the G. O. P's principal future work would be "within the party lines, building and strengthening the party” rath er than sponsoring any separate or ganizations, such as the Congress of Industrial Organization’s Political Action Committee. At a press conference he also an nounced the appointment of Wil- Let’s all refresh...

C form to the laws given by God to regulate the conduct of His chil dren. It is almost universally ac knowledged by non-churched people that the non-conformance to the laws of righteousness on the part of professed Christians, has done enestimable harm to the cause of Christ. There are thousands of people who never read God's word and rarely attend church. The only inspiration they get comes from what they see and hear, ?t is sad but true that in the sinner’s field of observation he sees too many thorns and not enough roses. It is great to have the truth, but it is a thousand times better to live it. It’s doubtful if there is another organi zation in the world that could live under the stress and strain of the inconsistances and incongruities on the part of those who constitute its body, as does the church. Surely there is an element of Divinity in it. Lives? yes, it lives, but it can not live and prosper on the stimu lus of a few choice souls. Unquestioned fidelity to the whole program of the church: The church, like the human body, becomes strong by exercising the strength it already possesses. One of the most pathetic pleas in all the world is the plea of the church for willing workers. Sev eral years ago while I was pastor in Georgia, one night at prayer meeting the superintendent of the beginners department asked if she Ham T. Pheiffer, former New York Representative in Congress, as his executive assistant in charge of the New York office. Mr. Pheiffer is a native of Amarillo, Texas. Mr. Brownell declined to com ment on President Roosevelt's ap pointments to the United Nations Conference in San Francisco or on the part he or Gov. Thomas E. Dewey might take in the New York mayoral election. Mr. Brownell said he planned a trip to the Middle West and pos sibly later to New England to “get Republican leaders’ reactions" to the program adopted at the party’s re cent Indianapolis conference. o Montgomery Heads Woman’s Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—Ruth Shick Montgomery of the New York Daily News Feb. 15 was elected chairman of Mrs. Eleanor Roose velt's Press Conference Association.

She and three little girls stood up as she said, “These are all that are left in this- class because we can’t get a teacher.” I thought of a state ment I had so often seen in God's word, “Is it nothing to you, all you that pass by?” We all know that most of our churches are weakened because so many of its members do not attend upon its services with any degree of regularity. I recently heard a bit of philosophy which was amusing, but sadly true to church life. This layman had attended the first services of a new pastor. The house was packed to its capacity. Many times had this layman been there when this was not the case. After the services he dryly re marked, “Well, a new broom sweeps clean, but the old broom knows where the dirt is.” A member of mine once said to me,” I want you to preach a sermon on, what people miss by not going to church.” I gently reminded him that I had just recently preached a sermon on why people ought to go to church. He seemed to have been absent that day. We all know that anything is strong in proportion to its elements of strength. “Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; for hence forth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the un clean."—rsaih 52:1.
