A recent report of the North Carolina Department of Agricul ture shows that the State harves ted 710,000 bales in 1944 and that our farmers received $73,- ' 509,000 for the lint cotton and J14.443.000 for the cotton seed, or a total of $89,952,000. - Many well informed men con tend that the development of ray n and other synthetic fibers, plus expansion of the cotton growing areas in Brazil and Russia, will make it impossible for the United States to find a market for more than 7,000000 to 8,000,000 bales of cotton in postwar years and that cotton production in North Carolina will shrink below 200, 000 bales. If they are correct, the returns from the cotton crop of North Carolina will fall below $25,000, 000 and the loss in the annual .farm income will represent more than $60,000,000.

A Ml Battle-weary, sixth division marines recline behind protecting-" tfaii near Naha after bitter fight for city on Okinawa. 1 PACIFIC: Cities Burn One by one, Japan's great indus trial centers are being razed by huge fleets of Flying Superfortresses, with the firing of Osaka and Yokohama cutting further into the enemy's po tential to produce weapons needed for the expanding Pacific frunt. Considered the Orient's greatest industrial center, Osaka smouldered after heavy Super-Fort strikes at its Iron, steel, copper, cotton, hemp and wire plants. Japan's second biggest port, Yoko hama was left in flames by hundreds of B-29s, with strong winds helping to spread the destruction block by block. Approximately 60,000 houses were said to have been wiped out after the first assault, leaving 250,000 homeless, and communication and transportation lines disrupted. In explaining strategy In lay- Ing down the greatest number of bombs In the shortest time over . Japanese targets, 21st Bomber r Commander Curtis Le May de clared: "If you lay them down like that- the city boms down. If you don't, they put it out." With B-29s raising havoc with Jap anese industrial centers, the enemy continued to chiefly center his aerial opposition against American naval vessels in the Ryukyus, with Kami kaze (suicide) pilots continuing to score hits on light units. Indicative of the ferocity of the Japanese at i tacks, the navy reported the great est casualty toll in all the Pacific fighting off of Okinawa. On land, U. S. forces herded the enemy onto the southern corner of Okinawa following the collapse of his Shuri line after some of the bitterest ground fighting in the war, with troops compelled to dig the Japs from deep cave positions in rugged terrain. UNEMPLOYMENT: To Rise With another large "stepdown" in military orders anticipated. War Production Board Chairman J. A. Krug predicted 4,800,000 persons will no longer be needed for war produc tion six months from now and un employment can be expected to reach 1,300,000 by then. During the next three months alone, Krug said, an estimated 2,900, 000 war workers will be released, with unemployment jumping 1,100, 000 from the present level ot 800,000 to 1,900,000. Because of withdraw als from the' labor force and the reemployment of 4,100,000 persons by the rapidly expanding civilian economy, however, the total of un; employed will drop about 600,000 a half year from now. Though unemployment promises to mount in comparison with present conditions, such low-paying indus tries as lumber and textiles may ex perience difficulty obtaining work ers, Krug said. Wage Increases within the bounds of stabilization pol icy would probably help remedy such a situation, Krug indicated. Shipyard Probtem In the face of rising layoffs in war production industries, , West coast shipyards are experiencing a short age of help-at a time when the de mand for repairs is increasing as a result of the damage to U.

Transportation and housing also were guaranteed East coast workers desiring to shift to the west As an.example of the critical la bor shortage in the West coast yards, the famed aircraft carrier Franklin had to be hauled all the way to the Brooklyn navy yard for repairs. NEAR EAST: Oil Oasis i Behind all the trouble In the Near East lies the specter of oil the great natural resource indispensable to a modern machine economy. While fighting flared In Syria, the French charged that what appeared to be a mixup between them and the natives really was an incident cooked up by British agents to Jeop ardize the French pipeline carrying oil across the embattled : country from the Mosul fields in Iraq. At the same time, French com mentators sharply pointed out that any Arab uprising in Syria could 1 very well lead to similar disturb ances throughout the whole Arable bloc of states, where both Britain and the U. S. have substantial oil concessions. Oddly located nearby the Sues ca nal, providing Britain with a con venient gateway to her oriental em pire, the Arabic states are said to possess oil deposits the equal of those in the U. S., with the English holding 40 per cent of all conces sions in the area and America 60 per cent. U. .8. Interest In the near east ern oil situation was pointed ap by the government's proposal to erect a $150,009,000 pipeline ' across Arabia and Join In a part nership with (be Arabian-American Oil company and Gulf Ex ploration company for Its opera tion. Shelved In the face of bit ter opposition, the plan called for the private companies 'creation of a billion barrel petroleum pool for the army and navy, and repayment for the pipeline ever a 25-year period. . Oil also prominently figures in re lations between the U. S. and Britain and Russia, what with the Arabio states situated virtually at the Reds' back door and Moscow having al ready put in a bid for development of the Persian fields, monopolized by the English. EUROPE: Displaced Persons , "One of the most difficult of post war problems in Europe, the return of displaced nationals to their home land has become even harder with the reluctance 6f many to leave the Anglo-American occupied .zone' of Germany, it was revealed. -. . Though some 600,000 Poles are showing the greatest antipathy to be ing sent east, Latvians and Lithu anians also ara not eager to return. Even substantial , numbers of the 1,500,000 Russians In the Anglo- American zone do not wish to be repatriated, but though the other na tionals cannot be forced to go against their wishes, an agreement reached at Yalta .makes the return of the Russians compulsory. , " Besides the nationals mentioned above, there still are 1,200,000 French in the U. S. -British area along with 350.000 Italians, 200,000 Bel gians. 200.000 Dutch, 100,000 Yugo slavs,' 0,000 Czechs, 10,000 Greeks, 10,000 Da nes. 10,000 Norwegians and 10,000 from Luxembourg. . - ' Big Schoolhouse' to 60 to teach simple reading or wrlt- ing to one illiterate, or to teach col- lectively, has teeth in It Citizens not complying with the decree will be forced to do so.

' In addition to having special In vestigators check into the diversion of home Canning sugar Into bootleg liquor or illicit bottling, OPA an nounced that pledges must now be signed assuring that use of home canning rations will not be used for other purposes and reports made lat er as to food put up; district offices will suspend allocations until fruits and vegetables become available for preservation, and review all appli cations so" as to spread supplies over oofhing months.' -t Partly because of over-issuance 'of sugar tor food preservation last year, OPA said, average table ra tions have been cut 37 per cent and housewives' allocations for home canning have been trimmed 40 per cent In addition, the short sugar stocks have resulted in a squeeze on bakers and industrial users, with further reductions in their allot ments threatening to seriously ham per continued operations. . -: CONGRESS: c Fistic Debate " :.; K Well in the tradition of the good old dayi when the U. S. took Its poll " tics hot and heavy, Reps. John .Taber (N. Y.) and Clar ence Cannon (Mo.) engaged in the sec ond fistic engage ment of the present session following heated debate over the proposed tax free $2,500 a year expense account for congressmen In ad ditlon to their 110. 000 salaries. . Previously, Reps. John Rankin (Miss.) and Frank Hook (Mich.) went to it hammers and tongs on the floor of the house after Hook had called Rankin a "liar." . . According to husky, white-haired Taber' s story, he Reps. Taber and Cannon had called upon Cannon at the let ter's request, only to move to leave the room when the. latter became abusive over remarks he had made during the course of debate on the proposed expense account Return ing when Cannon asked him if he was running away, Taber said he stopped a left or a right to the up per, lip, and then pinned his oppo nent to a couch until he cooled down. Claiming on his own account that Taber had hied it to his office when the going got hot,, the sllght-of-bulld Cannon declared that the fracas re sulted from Taber's Insulting re marks on the floor of the house. APPAREL: Pinch to Persist , With military requirements at a high level and labor short because of the attraction of workers to high er, paying Industries, textiles will re main In tight supply through IMS, the War Production board revealed. Declaring that a substantial amount of clothing materials will be needed to provide a continuous flow of apparel for adaptability to the varying climatic conditions of the Pacific, WPB said the military will take 85 per cent of me cotton duck supply In July-August-September, along with 20 per Cent of carded and 50 per cent of combed goods. In addition, WPB. said, the mili tary will, take 60 per cent of the supply of wool 'woven goods during the same period, and virtually all worsteds, along . with substantial stocks of knit goods. As a result, it may be necessary to restrict civil ian sales of heavy underwear to tuck outdoor workers as loggers and farmers. . , CATTLE: For Europe In a program designed to toptade 1 per cent of the 6.000,000 "anmtal destroyed during the wfcrin Orees, Albania, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia -and Poland, UNftRA -(United Na tions Relief and Rehabilitation ad ministration) will blp- about 00,000 dairy and draft 'SnftWats'1 fc thoss 1 countries In the next 18 months.

Acts 1:8. , . The church of Jesus Christ, glori ous in spite of ner fallings, Is the greatest institution known to this world. That is true because while it is In this world, the church is not of the world, but Of God. He estab lished the church as the fellowship of believers to do His work in the world. For more than 19 centuries the Christian church has served Him with vsrying degrees of .conse cration and Usefulness. The beginning of the work of the church is of special interest, for such a study win show whether we today are following in the right path. We find in our lesson that the early church was distinguished by: L Obedience to God (vv. 29-32). .The disciples filled with the Holy Spirit were bold in declaring the gospel and in proclaiming their risen Lord. Realizing that the apostles' message was winning the people, the leaders of the Jews admonished them not to speak in the name of Christ (Acts 4:18). When they con tinued, the priests threw them into prison, but an angel set them free (Acts 5:19). - When they were again appre hended and accused of disobeying the command of the high priest, Peter and the others responded by pointing out that they were under a higher command, that of God Him self. Him they would obey, come what may. Who will deny that we need a renewal of that spirit in the church todayT We need to lose our fear of men and their little authority, and regain a larger measure of obedi ence to God. n. A Convicting Message (. S3). When God's Word is preached with complete obedience to Him, something is sure to happen. Men and women will be convicted of their sin. They will be cut to the heart That conviction will show Itself in one of twp ways. Some will be re pentant and will cry out with the jailer at Phillppi, "What must I do to be saved?" (Acta 16:30). Turn ing to Christ, they will find deliver ance from sin. . , Others will harden themselves in their wicked ways and become even more bitter In their hatred of Christ and the church. In. our lesson we find them taking counsel to kill the disciples. Knowing themselves to be wrong and seeing that God's work revealed their sin, but not being willing to give it up, they tried to de stroy the witness against them. . We see that same spirit opera tive today. To be sure, it does not usually show Itself in such crude action as physical killing, although the day when' that may happen again may not be far away. In our cultivated time, It Is re vealed in a scholarly attack upon God's Word, an undermining of the faith ot our young people in schools or colleges, or a ridiculing of those who wish to live a separated, con secrated life. IH. Ne Compromise (w. 34, 35, M0). A wise man, Gamaliel, presented what w would now call a program of appeasement He urged that they wait and see what would hsppen. At first glance his Idea seems to be most commendable, and ef course it did save the lives of the disciples at the moment; But it was essentially a "do-nothing" policy of compromise. If he believed in what the disciples were doing, he should have come out boldly on .their side. Notice that the believers had no part in this ' scheme. They lis tened, but did not give assent They took the beating and went right out and preached the gospel again. What a fine example for us to fol low I Those who are alert to the real problems of the church today recog fehe that the wflUrtgness to com promise with the world, the flesh, and (so it seems at times) the devil himself for the sake of peace, is destroying the real ministry of the cbuTch.
