Unless you are, some scrible-redder will come along and interpret what vow scribbling means.

't'vkism In some of the larger cities of the land, it is repor ted, scribble-readers pass their spare time in night clubs, restaurants and beauty salons analyzing "doodles" of patrons. They make, according to news paper reports, as much at $25 a week from the tips they receive. ..... . We are not exactly experts in scribble-reading, (although some copy received, gives us oodles of practice), but, if there is anybody in Duplin County who is a confirmed scribbler and wants the "doodle" analyzed, we will take the job. Just send us your fancy "doodles," with a tip proportioned to the ad vice you expect to receive, and we will send you an analysis by return mail.

Here they are: "1. Honor your parents by having a thorough physical examination every birthday; for an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure. "2. Honor your friends by taking a daily bath; for cleanliness is a part of Godliness. "3. Honor your family by having your life insur ed; for life insurance guarantees the co-operation of the insurer in the prolongation of the life of the in sured. "4. Honor your physician by avoiding patent medicines; for the most of these nostrums are hum bugs. "5. Honor your stomach by having your teeth carefully examined by a dentist at regular intervals; for bad teeth are an abomination to the system. "6. Honor your digestion by being careful of your diet; for many a man digs his grave with his teeth. "7. Honor your lungs by breathing fresh air; for ventilation is a means of grace. "8. Honor your nerves by taking plenty of rest in sleep; for they who work all day and play all night promote the brevity of their lives by burning the candle at both ends. "9. Honor your country by obeying the laws; for it is-a mark of good citizenship to obey a law wheth er one likes it or not. "10.Honor your God by chastity irtword, thought and deed; for the race that wishes eternity must ex alt maternity." 'Mac Looks Ahead 'On to Tokyo!" Thus called General of the Army Douglas MacArthur as U. S. forces freed the Philippine capital of Ma nila and strengthened their hold on the main island of Luzon. In a statement as Jubilant as the march of his gallant army across Luzon's central plains, MacArthur proclaimed: "The fall of Manila was the end of one gTeat phase of the raclfic trnggle and set the stage for an other. ... We are well on the way, but Japan Itself la our Coal goal. . . . We are ready In this veteran and proven command when called npon. . . ." With all eyes turning toward To kyo itself now, MacArthur's state ment was looked upon as his bid for continued leadership of Allied forces in future operations against the Japs, who are expected to put up their stiffest large-scale resist ance In Asia proper, thus dodging the necessity of trying to run the supply blockade of the powerful U. S. navy. EUROPE: Beyond Oder Even as German military com mentators told their people tha' ad ditional territory would have t be given up before the great Itursian drive could be stopped, powerful Red forces maintained the Initiative and smashed across the Oder river in strength at numerous points. By going over the Oder on a broad front to the southeast. Marshal Tvan Konev's 1st Ukrainian1 army not only bit deeper Into the rich Silesian Industrial district, but also print ed menacingly at another important production center around Dresden to the west, and threatened to develop a wide outflanking movemenl Eerlin to the northwest. Meanwhile, Marshal Gregory Zhu kov's 1st White Russian army pressed its all-out assault on Be.iin, still smouldering from a gigantic n S. and British air raid which ripped up transport and commoni aations in the battered capital, As Zhukov's armored columns and in fantry drew up for the assault un der cover of a fierce artillery oom bardment, the Germans rallied .for a desperate defense planned to ca. ry right Into the city itself and mako it another Koenigsberg and Budapest. der, with declarations that U. S. and British statesmen would be unable to fulfill "Wilsonian promises." Meanwhile, rumors were-rife over the "Big Three" parley, with re ports that the Allied leaders dis cussed the question of French claims to German territory west of the Rhine; Polish ungling for East Prus sia and land clear up to the Oder river In the reich, and cession of German districts to Denmark at part of moves to internationalize the Kiel canal. The "Big Three" reportedly were in agreement on plans to occupy the reich, with the British taking over the northwest, including the Ruhr and seaports; the U.- S. the south west, and the Russian the east and northeast. All three powers would jointly occupy Austria. Discussion also was said to concern plans for providing supervision over German Industry to prevent future arma- Tieiit. MANPOWER: Discuss Work or Fight Passed by the house, the administration-backed "work or fight" bill encountered rough going In the sen ate, with Industry and labor con tinuing to offer strong resistance to compulsory provisions. As finally approved by the house on a 248-155 vote, the "work or fiaht" bill provides that all regis trants between 18 and 45 not other wise deferred by law, such as farm ers, can be frozen into essential jobs CANADA: ,,e Political Crisis p-:':. In a crisis which Premier Mae- Kenzie King said he wished to avoid during the present critical stage of the war. the Grey North parliamen tary district of Ontario, Canada, voted down as Us representative to commons Defense Minister A. G. L. McNaughton, who conceived the Idea of the limited overseas draft to appease bitter French-Canadian resistance to conscription for for eign service. : With the result of the voting ; ' indicating that English-apeakinf Canada might favor unlimited overseas draft Instead of the government's compromise pro gram. King declared that a ,, general election may be aeeea nary to provide for a clean-cut decision on the Question, v to strengthen officials' hands In dealing with the situation. . Adopted with the aim of preserv ing unity In the dominion, the gov ernment's compromise conscription policy avoiding a wholesale over sea draft sought to partially meet the French-Canadians' cherished traditional privilege of self-government ; SPORTS: Fight Gambling With the gambling fraternity re portedly looking for new fields of operation with the closure of the na tion's race tracks, upon government order, both college and professional sports are moving firmly to prevent bettors' activiUes in basketball and baseball.. , With the danger brought into the open with disclosure that Brooklyn college basketball players took money to throw a game, college officials tightened secret policing of stands and forbid coaches to re lease pre-game information on play ers' conditions, etc. Especially touchy over the gam bling question since the notorious "Black Sox" scandal of 1919, organ ized baseball was reported taking particular precaution against bet tors' operations, with officials ad vising clubs to withhold such Infor mation as starting pitchers, etc., to provide the basis for wagering. Said the National League's Ford Frick: "... With a lot of youngsters In the big show for the first time, we will have to be extra careful. ..."

With the senate largely luke warm -to "compulsory labor legisla tion, Senators Revercomb (W. Va.), Taft (Ohio), and Robertson (Wyo.) pushed for adoption of an amend- on-f ment under which draft Doaras would only be called upon to fer ret out surplus manpower in plants and channel it Into more sorely pressed establishments upon, threat of inducting the hoarded help. . The senators proposal was warmly supported by the AFL, whose executive council, meet ing in Miami, Fla., declared that no actual manpower shortage exists and any crisis could be attributed to hoarding of labor. Elaborating on the charges, AFL Pres. William Green released ' a report in which the organization ' con tended that many war plants operat ing on cost-plus basis are keeping skilled workers in enforced Idleness to hold expenses up for greater profit returns; military purchpslng agents are awarding busi ness to -concerns in tight labor areas while permitting other plants with workers to close down, and many production lags are due to technical bottlenecks rather than manpower shortages. Declaring that manpower short ages approximate only 150,000 men, the National Association of Manufac turers said that establishment of lower ceilings on tha number of workers 'in less essential plants could help to ease any stringency. Coupled with this, the NAM urged further emphasis on labor-management programs to eliminate prac tices retarding production and shift ing: of skilled men to urgent Jobs.

LESSON TEXT-Matthow :. "gOLDEN TEXT -Every food gift and avTperfect Sift Is from above, and cornTth down from the Father ol Whts, witn whom Is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James Hidden treasure! there is some .1.1.. .k,t it that catches our imag- mum . lnations and stirs our expectancy of discovering great riches. Men are constantly going on expeditions to v int treasure. Others are engaged - in study and research to bring out new treasures In nature or in the realm of learning or; art. . Why not stir up a little exclte t.nt .hnnt tha unbelievably rich treasures which are hid in Christ and In the life of faith in HimT It is not hidden, except to the eye of unbelief, but it is greatly neglected mr,A .ii hut fnrirotten by many. The Scripture portions assigned for our lesson are not as well adapted to It as one could wish, but we may make good use of them. We learn here: .. I. The Cost of Redemption tu.w 46). Undoubtedly the lesson committee had In mind the usual interpretation of these parables, which ' presents the sinner as the one seeking the treasure and giving up all that he may have Christ While it is true that our redemp tion is worth more than anything else to all the world and that the Christian would gladly set aside (or would he?) everything for Christ's sake, yet that does not fulfill the thought of this parable. " After all. what has a sinner (whose own right eousness is described in Scripture as "filthy rags") to sell In order to obtain redemption? And is it for sale? (See Eph. 2:8). Obviously, we here have the Sa viour with His all-seeing eye and loving heart noting In fallen human ity the pearl of great price, His own Church. He then gives up all the glory He had with the Father, comes to the earth, and even be comes sin for us that He may bring us to God. Salvation in Christ is no little thing, not something which was pur chased with gold or silver, but with th nrecious blood of Christ We ought to value it highly, and be cause we are bought with such a price we ought always to glorify God (I Cor. 6:28). ' ' H. Th Heart, of Compassion (14: 13-16). The One who was willing to ale that men might have eternar life was not unmindful of their need of His mercy and grace for their daily problems. Jesus not only died that we might have redemption from sin, but He Uved (yes, and Uves nowl) with lender-hearted com passion toward those in need. He who is the living Bread was not willing that men should hunger for their daily bread. The disciples saw only one solution to send them away, but Jesus said, "They need i not depart" I One is fcarjul that the church has been all too quick about sending the needy sway to some social agency or community . charity, when it should1 have won their confidence by its compassion; and then brought them to Christ. Little is much when God is in It, and by the divine touch of Jesus the multitude was fed. Could we not do far more for Christ if we would only use. the little .we have with His blessing, , for the help of our fellow men? . III. The Miracle of Provision (14: 17-21). ; We pray, "Give us this day our daily bread," and it is only as God provides it that we have it He gives life to the seed, and multiplies it In rich harvest, and we eat, we trust, with thankful hearts. That is a miracle so oft repeated that we have Jost a bit of the wonder and elory of it Here in. the story of the feeding of the five thousand and more (v. 21) with five loaves and two fishes, we have such a mira cle of provision taking the little and making it enough for the multitude. . The Lord may not work In exactly the same way today, but do not God's servants- see Him multiply their meager store, as they glve.lt out in His name? That is true whether the gift be of material or spiritual things. God can and does bless those who trust Him, Letting what we have pass through the hands of Christ results in transfor mation and multiplication. Try itl Men and women are value-conscious in our day. While money Is plentiful, goods of real quality are scarce,' and one must look for that which has durability and worth. The treasures which Christ Offers are en during. He says, "Lay up for your selves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and . where thieves do not break through nor steal" (Matt 6:20). By contrast "the things Satan of fers are temporary. In a few years most earthly honors and wealth must be laid aside. But the treas ures of the kingdom are treasures which God intends that we should possess forever.
