Average retail food costs moved up 1.6 per cent, the report said, prin cipally because prices of fresh fruit and vegetables jumped 6.4 per cent. Clothing costs advanced three tenths of one per cent as shortages in lower priced lines continued, Miss Perkins reported. o Shoes Get Another Ration Holiday Raleigh, June Approximately four and a half million rationed shoes will be sold without stamps during a week “odd lot” sale in July, OPA officials in Raleigh pre dicted today. “The ration holiday," extending from July 9 through July 28, al lows dealers to sell certain odds and ends and broken sizes, which accumulate after every selling sea son, without requiring ration stamps. Such odd-lot shoes must be sold at prices at least 25 per cent under the June 1, 1945, price, according to OPA. "With our national supply of shoes in such a critical condition, wc cannot afford to have wearable footwear gathering dust on deal ers shelves, Johnson explained. “This ration-free sale affords a chance to get these shoes where they're most needed—on the feet of Americans."

"If a man die shall he live again’” was asked by the pariarch Job. It Is a question of the ages for men naturally believe in a future life. This is evidenced in the fact that * the nations and races through the years have had some form of relig ion. We find this true of the ancient Egyptians, the cultured Greeks, and the uncivilized races. We have an instinct that we will live after death that wc are not intended for this world only. There is a felt need for a life else where. This need seems apparent in the fact that there are those who have surfi limited opportunities to develop here. Many have had a. very short stay on earth, while others have not enjoyed opportunities to develop, or really live. There arc also such marked in equalities in this life! It would ap pear that a future life is needed to even up matters. It would seem that such a God as we believe in and worship would have some perfect compensation. But at the grave we arc unable to find it. There are those who have quite pleasant paths, and others who have known hard ships, trials, persecutions, and dis tress. We know there are compensa tions in this life, but it would ap pear that further adjustment of matters certainly await on a future life. Physical science has but little to say on the subject of a future life; in fact the subject does not Ue with in Its field. It docs, however, furn ish us at least two important point ers. One is found in the teaching of the indestructablllty of matter. Wc can melt a block of ice, but we do not destroy the matter. We have only changed the form; we still have it, then we may turn the water into hydrogen and oxygen, but again wc have changed the form but have not destroyed. The other pointer wc get from science Is in the teach ing of the conservation of energy. Heat energy may be changed to some other kind; but lt is only » The Following Public Spirited Individuals and Firms Here Sponsor This Page HAMBRICK, AUSTIN and THOMAS Came To Church Every Sunday Hava Your Prescriptiana filled and Boy Your Drugs and San dries Frem Us Every Day. Phene *271 PEEBLES DEPT. STORE “The Peeples Stare* Sugar Rations To Continue At Present Levels Drought Damages Cuban Cane Fields, Survey Discloses. Havana, Cuba, June 22.—Sugar rations In the United States will continue at present levels for at least another year, Earl Wilson, di rector of the Commodity Credit Cor poration's tCCC) Sugar section, said today. Wilson made the disclosure In a press conference after a two weeks inspection of drought-devastated Cugan sugar cane fields. He was ac companied by Harold Rowe of the Foreign Economic Administration (FEA). Wilson said the CCC had made an offer of 3.45 cents per pound (F. I O. B. Cuban ports) for the 1946 Cu ban sugar crop, an increase of .35 cents per pound over the price paid j for the 1945 crop. Describing "severe damage” to Cu ban sugar production caused by the j prolonged drought, Wilson said “the J sugar picture for the United States is not good for another 12 months. The lack of rainfall throughout pro ducing areas has delayed for at least, a year any increase in sugar rations for American consumers.” He declined to predict whether sugar rations might be further cut but said both domestic and indus- j trial consumers "will continue un- changed. It is not destroyed. II we can believe that matter can not be destroyed and energy can not be lost—and why should we not? We should not stumble over the teach ing that men shall live in another realm after death. It is in the realm of religion that wc come face to face with positive statements on the continued exist ancc of people after death. This is set forth with exceeding emphasis in the records of the resurrection of Jesus. On the first day of the week Mary and others went early to the place of His burial with the inten tion of anointing His body. However, to their surprise and astonishment, they lound He was not there, but had left the place of the dead and was alive. On reporting this to the disciples they found them unwilling to believe it. Especially was Thomas doubtful. He appears to have been of a practical turn of mind. But even lie was convinced when he saw Jesus. The historical fact of the resur rection of Jesus which was known to the disciples by three of the five senses; signt, hearing, and touch, answers and settles the question concerning life after death. I take it that wc arc incapable of receiv ing more satisfactory evidence than that given by the Lord’s coming as a man, permitting Himself to be crucified, and rising from the dead. If wc can see and know anything it should seem that, we should rest assured about the life after death. If wc can accept the reports of men on any subject wc should be willing to accept the reports of what those early Christians saw, heard, and felt with their hands. Shall wc, then, not set our feet on the solid rock of . the best evidence and declare that the question as to life after death is answered with an unqualfied af firmative? ~ Having, then, arrived at the an swer of this question wc find an other equally important to each of us. That is: What of it? What use can we make of it? What bearing does it have on the present? This is an individual and personal matter. To some the calamity of calamities der present tight rationing at least until increased production is as sured.” Wilson said Cuba had been count ed on to supply considerably more sugar from Its 1946 crop than the 1945 production of slightly less than four million tons. He asserted that United States sugar needs "this year and next are far greater than they were in 1944 because of increased lend-lease and other overseas com mitments.” o Colepaugh, Gimple Get Life Terms Washington, June 25. —President Truman has commuted to life in prison the death sentence of William j Curtiss Colepaugh and Eric Gimpel' who were convicted last February of j ATTENTION "IN MEMORIAM" NOTICES SI.OO For First 150 Words lc Per Word For Each Word Over 150 Card Os Thanks 50( Each COURIER - TIMES LONGHURST MERCANTILE CO.

Such existence will not be eternal life but eternal death, which is separation or banishment from God. But for others it will be eternal life. Eternal life is life of a quality; it is life in harmony with eternal good ness, in harmony with a God of love, mercy, good will, and forgive ness. The Master said, “I am come that they may have life and have it more abundantly” “He that be lievcth on the Son hath life." That is he has this life of quality now. To such as have this life continued ex istence after death will be bliss in deed. A personal question for each of us is.that in regard to the way wc arc using life as an eternal possibility and opportunity. It. is an unques tionable teaching of the Lord that we can use this stage of life so as to enrich that after death. He says, “Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth doth not cor rupt and where thieves do not break through nor steal.” And again He says, “Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unright eousness that when you fail they may receive you into everlasting habitation.” The life after death is worth all we can put into it. We cannot af ford, to miss it for anything. It. is worthy of being the one all inclusive aim anti objective of each of us. Just as cutting, hauling, ploughing, harvesting and marketing go into the farmer's aim and purpose so all our activities should be included in our purpose for eternal life. What does not fit into the good life is not worthy of a being created in the likeness of God. If wc miss that life it can be said of us as Jesus said of Judas: "It were better for that man hac. he never been born.” The Lord was em phasizing the worth of life after death when He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hid in a field, the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.” PAGE THREE
