Tuesday, January 22, 1946 W ho's Busiest? In this postwar world of confusion and con trary opinions, it is difficult for one to see or even think just what is taking place. How ever, it is fairly evident that the material and even the consequential things in life are receiv ing more attention than those designed to en rich and give the people a more abundant life. The amusement world is expanding rapidly and there are plans well advanced for expand ing it even more. Is the religious world main taining the pace' More motor cars are being promised. Wash ing machines are to appear in greater numbers. Labor-saving gadgets are being invented in great numbers. Is our educational system maintaining the pace? While segments of sci ence are offering us a less burdensome life, is education moving into the fore to teach and train us how to make the best use of this new life? New inventions naturally throw' our economy out of adjustment, but if we are to reap lasting benefits from those inventions we must main tain our balance. An automobile in the hands of a careless driver is a potential weapon of death rather than a means of transportation. A wash ing machine that saves the householder time to engage in questionable activities, helps in one way and causes damage in another. Give us the new gadgets and all the labor saving machines, but let us learn to fit them into a pattern of life worth living and guard against deterrioration. We can’t afford to be come soft now wdien a hard and solid founda tion is needed to get and maintain lasting peace. We must strengthen our weakest supports in i I,- - -- UUJ. * v-u, * V. --- O O and educational, to effect a balance that will strengthen our positions rather than weaken them. We are fussing and "cussing” this thing and that thing because we can't get a new car, a new this and a new that it i$nH necessarily this thing or that thing causing al1 our headacn^s just now. We are out of balance and badly need adjustment. There is no return to normal times; we will have to make adjustments and create normal times, not times exactly like those before the war, but times when all elements necessary to a sane and wholesome life are in balance. We can’t blame all this juvenile and adult de linquency on strikes and shortages of materials In other condemn one group for allow ing bad conditions to exist when wc are failing in our own parts. If we fail to teach and train our children how to live rather than how to make money and quit there, we are setting the stage for things and conditions far worse than our present plight caused by work stoppages. It is time for us to look around and see who is busiest in this world: the forces of evil or the forces of good? and to get busy ourselves in maintaining a happy medium Two W orthy Drives The two drives now in progress, one for used clothing and the other for funds to carry on the fight against infantile paralysis, are worthy of our every consideration. We have won the war at great cost, and we can well afford to spend more in winning the peace. Once the peace is won there’ll be no need for more spending for another war. By contributing our used clothing—down to our backs, if necessary—we can do a great deal to ward winning the peace. It will not mean much to us to part with a few garments, but those gar ments will mean much to a ragged people in other lands We spend billions to win the war; let’s help keep it won by sharing our old cloth ing with the victims. Then, too, Christianity would have us share, not only our clothing but also some of our other possessions. The infantile paralysis drive this year finds our people indebted to the National Founda tion, and it is up to us to meet that solemn obli gation. When hundreds of our people, mostly little folks, fell victim of the disease year before last, the National Infantile Paralysis Foundation moved into our State and lent every possible aid in addition to contributing more than half a million dollars to help the victims. In the name of suffering humanity, we ap peal to our people to support both drives to the limit. Don’t wait to be solicited; contribute your cash to the infantile paralysis fund and deliver your used clothing to the receiving sta tion in your community. The one who will be found in trial capable of great acts of love is ever the one who is always doing considerable small ones.—F. W. Robert son. «i NOTICE!

Churches Must Get Closer To Youth —»— Chicago.—Churches are reaching too lew of the youth of America was the warning of J. Edgar Hoover, di rector, Federal Bureau of Investiga tion, U. S. Department of Justice, in endorsing the observance in rural and urban areas of the United States and Canada of 1946 Youth Week, January 27-February 3, sponsored by the United Christian Youth Move ment, which is administered through] the International Council cf Religi ous Education. “This failure to mal e contact with the citizens of tomor row is producing a fertile field for future crime,’’ he pointed out. “Youths too young to vote account ed for 21.4 per cent of the arrests last year,’’ Mr. Hoover declared. “Un less a concerted effort is made now through the media of the church and the home, these same juvenile delin quents may be the hardened crimin als of tomorrow." James L. Graft, Chicago, chairman of the board of Kraft Foods Company who is vice-chairman of the board of directors of the National Commit tee on Boys and Girls (4-H) Club Work, maintained in endorsing Youth Week that “youth today is challeng- I ed with a growing consciousness of man’s responsibility toward man.” “The sickening cost of war, in terms of human life and suffering, have bronght the fact of mutual re sponsibility home to thinking men around the world," heaverred. “Civi lization, if it is to survive at all, must recognize this mutual interde lendence of men.” Declaring that the time has passed when the establishment of human brotherhood was an ideal, Jerry Voorhis, U. S Congxessman-from California, in endorsing Youth Week stated: "In this atomic age’Mankind is face to face with the imperative necessity of making a moral advance corresponding tc the scientific ad vance already achieved. Unless there 'is a deepening of religious convic- I tion and devotion to religious prin- j ciples, the very scientific advance of , Man will become his greatest peril. ! Human brotherhood has become an 1 immediate necessity." --- The quota of superphosphate for the current fertilizer ; ^ar is the high est that has ever been established. -«.

(Adv.) «. Mortgage Total Of Life Companies Up Real estate mortgage financing was an important part of life insur ance investment activity throughout the war in spile of the curtailment in new construction. Total funds thus advanced to property owners by the life companies on new mortgages written since Pearl Harbor totalled about $3,700,000,000, the Institute of Life Insurance reports. These new mortgages were offset in large part by maturities and pre payments, but at year-end the total mortgages held by the life insurance companies amounted to $6,650,000, 000, the largest aggregate in twelve years. Total new mortgages purchased in 1945 hy the life companies ap proximated $950,000,000, of which $210,000,900 were FHA mortgages, $120,000,000 were farm mortgages and $620 000,000 were city moi tgages other than FHA. Aggregate mortgage holdings at year-end are $6,650,000,000, of which $1,500,000,000 are FHA mortgages, $750,000,000 are farm mortgages and $4,400,000,000 are city mortgages other than FHA. During the past year holdings of foreclosed real estate were further reduced by sales of over $200,000,000, reducing total real estate holdings of all life insurance companies to ap proximately $900,000,000, the small est figure reported since 1931. Of this aggregate, almost $200,000,000 is under contract of sale. Of the bal ance of $700,000,000, over $250,000,000 is in home office properties. --® The Japs have had to forget about loss of face and face their loss. li In The Midwestern States ■.♦ Use of fertilizer has doubled in the Midwest since 1940.

Smallest increase was for Michigan—from 166,546 tons in 1940 275.000 tons in 1944, a 65% in crease. These tonnage figures do not include government distributions.— Prairie Farmer -- Probable touch about 1950: “Broth er can you spare an atom?” North Carolina, Martin County.
