These are the hot-stuff creations of one ’Christian Dior, the wire services report, and £his latest “lily of the valley” line recently ^has plunged the style world into a tizzy. We have nothing against Dior, or other designers cashing in on a good thing—the tendency oi women to bow to every style •change that is supposedly the latest thing. We do, however, pity the women of America, and other countries, for their subservience to j the designers, although their hardship is caus 1 ed by their own weakness. Foreigners are often amazed at the num ber of good clothes not used by the average American female. Whereas in England or Germany, or other countries, the average fe male never lets a perfectly good garment go to waste hanging in the closet—simply because a style has changed—that is standard proce dure in this country. One of the reasons for this is the sheep like obedience the women of this country show to hot-shot designers. We suggust once again, that women show more individuality and a little resistance to the annual style changes [which necessitate, a new wardrobe. For the few rich the cost of that new wardrobe may be insignificant, but for many American fe males, the cost of keeping Daisy in that fash-, ion swim is often enough to sink Willie in , the financial swim, while the designers and flie ‘.clothing trade march happily ahead. ;George Washington t If there is one American whose courage »and fortitude during the years of hardship and ^discouragement gave the nation its opportuni ty to achieve greatness through independence, |it was General George Washington. The na tion’s first President, and the General who 4won a war against Great Britain to make the .;colonies independent of that nation, is rightly ^ remembered each February 22nd and honored l as the Father of His Country. $ However, the proper observance of Wash ington’s birthday anniversary did not come Cabout overnight after his death. The colonies - and the states were slow to recognize the |magnitude of the accomplishment and contri fbution of General Washington. Not only had fhe won independence for the colonies, he had |served as the first President, and he had set. |the precedent for a two-term limit for Chief ^Executives. . • | Moreover, he had established the founda tion principles of American governments— |one of them being staying out of the affairs of | other nations. That policy was the wisest Icourse for the young nation at that time and £this doctrine allowed the country to grow and ^prosper during its early years. I In the last years of life and the first years 5after his death, political feeling in the country ^between pie parties was so strong that soma f.d the observances suggested for Washington’s, ^birthday anniversary were denounced as po litical demonstrations. Only slowly did the ^nation come to recognize its founder, and mil itary, hero, as his services to Ins country merit ed. % g After be died, on December 14th, 1790, the Congress—then meeting in Philadelphia— proposed that February 22, 1800, be observ ed throughout the oountry with exercises in honor of the first President of the country. This congressional proposal was widely acted If upon and exercises were held in the principal ! cities. i Thereafter observances of , Washington’s and today observance the anniversary of the birth of our find and 'military' hero,, is' general :<a throughout the nation. This is appropriate since Washington is often underrated both as a general and sis a President. Every Angli can citizen owes as m\ich to Washington, or more, for his freedom and the independence of his country as to any other American hero. ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS Happening* That Affect the Future ef Every Individ ual Nation and International Problems Insepar able From Local Welfare. Those who read the accounts of the opening ses sions of the Big Four conference in Berlin must have had that “this is where I came in” feeling. Soviet Foreign Premier Molotov made his usual violent de nunciations of the West, and particularly'the United States. He then demanded that Communist China be recognized and invited to the conference, thus making it a Big Five matter—despite the fact that the Berlin meeting had been called primarily to deal with German unification. This, of course, is an established Soviet techni que in all diplomatic dealings—to divert, to bring in the irrelevant, to stall, and to denounce. That is why almost endless discussions and meetings have produced practically nothing in the wajt of re sults. According to U. S. News & World Report, the incredible total of 120,000,000 words—enough to fill 680 big books—have been spoken in formal negotiations with the Communists in the last eight years. The magazine adds wryly, “The one tangible result: a truce in Korea that the Communists con sidered to be a victory.” The question can be asked, why do we go on talking? One reason is that words are better than bullets; conferences, no matter how unproductive, are better than wars, and there is always the hope, far-fetched as it may be, that this time or the next time there will be something resembling a meeting of minds. Another, and more immediately cogent reason may be that talking—both in Berlin and elsewhere —is giving our top people a chance to make clear what is truly a new American foreign policy. The best exposition of that policy can be found in Secretary Dulles’ recent speech before the Coun cil of Foreign Relations. In it he announced a drastic change in the old policy which was based upon lo cal defensive power as a defense ^gainst Com munist aggression and which, therefore, often gave Communism the initiative. “Local defense must be reinforced by the further deterrent of massive retaliatory power,” he said. “A potential aggressor must know that he* cannot always prescribe the battle conditions that suit him . . . The way to deter aggression is for the free community to be willing and able to respond vigorously at places and with means of his own choosing.” Mr. Dulles added a sharp and specific warning that if Communism starts the Korean war anew. “. . . the United Nations re sponse would not necessarily be confined to Ko rea.” , < The Secretary spoke, naturally, in the carefully phrased language of diplomacy. But there should be Dfi confusion as Jo what this policy involves. David Lawrence described it well, in these words: “Here after, when there is a war, the United States will fight it with maximum power—no holds barred. There will be no ban on the use of the atom bomb and no ban on the hydrogen bomb . . . Soviet Russia is pbt on direct notice that, so far as the United States is concerned, any military attack will be resisted instantly and without reservation. There are to be no ‘privileged sanctuaries’ anywhere on the territory of the enemy. An epochal change has been made in our historic strategy in war.” This is the position the United States is now trying to unequivocally explain to the entire world. The Christian Viewpoint Prepared by the Department of Bible Presbyterian Junior College Maxton, N. C. “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves to gether,” (Heb. 10:25 AV), wrote the author of He brews to the early Christians. It is ».wholesome thing for us all when we gather together and unite in such a prayer as this: We have come to Thy house, Our Father, even as of old the children of Israel as sembled in the temple to worship Thee. We thank Thee that Christ, by his redemption on the cross, has rent the veil assunder so now we may draw near to Thee to address Thee as Our Fsfther in prayer with nothing between our souls and Thee. We come, O Lord, as Israel of old from many places. Thou seest that some of us have come from the place to sor row, where at some recent time we have buried some one dear to bur hearts. Give us the joy of morning for the night of sorrow, because Thou, Christ, hast risen from the fcower of death and hast promised to bring with Thee those who sleep in Thee. Thou seest that some of us come from-a lonely place. May we find fellowship in Thee and with Thine other children who are gathered here with us to worship Thee. We are thankful for kindred hearts along the way of- life, those who trust Thee and are trying to find Thy paths amid life’s complexities and problems, and are fighting the good fight of faith. Thou seest : that some of us come from the busy whirl of life’s activities. Give as a quiet hour with Thee that calm and peace]may still our surging souls. Thou seest that some of us are tired, tired of the'burden and beat of the day. Give us to drink of Thy refreshing grace that we may bravely press on in the straight' - narrow way. And some of us come from the place of dread and fear. Help us to know that Thou dost rule ‘the affairs of men even as Thou dost cause the planet to find its way around the sun. .Help us to trust and not (be afraid, for* what carf man do unto* us whose souls .are safe in Thee? And some, Ah God, come from the place of failure. We have sinned, we have stumbled and fallen. We thank thee, 0 Lord of all righteousness, as we loolc up to Thee with penitent hearts, we do not receive a frown, v Thou alone hast the right to hurl the first stone, but Hiou dost not even turn away. Rather we hear Thee i say, "Thy faith hath s|ved thee.” “Go, and sin no more." We thank Thee for Thy grave which lifts tis up. And Thou seest, Father, some of us are come frpm the place of preparation where we have sought to put on the whole armor of God, Guido us now fospirttual Warfare for th« glorious advance ol Thy Kingdom of truth, peace and love. And feed us with the Bread of Life. Through Jeses t^aist w* pray, Amen. ■y-M. ■ y-t f. " v' " • • 'vs.*.:-£■■■ yVj£.,\; ' *' £ y W::;'. ■; t I ; £ 4 i :i * ~ w Mom Can U^e Them at Last fe. DEMI-TASSE CUP; 5 News For Veterans Korean* GI Bill veteran-students who go home for vacations or be tween-term school breaks should be sure to get their GI allowance checks on time, under a new system announced by the Veterans admin istration. VA said it will follow its new speed-up policy only during all breaks in school which extend past the end of a month, and which nor mally would cause delay in receipt of GI checks. Such breaks include spring, summer, and winter vaca tions, Christmas and Easter holi days, time off between semesters, and the like. Under the new system, VA will allow a veteran-trainee to fill ait his monthly certification of train ing—a form required by law—pn his last day of school attendant?, rather than after the end of the month, when it’s'normally due. * These certifications,, signed bcgjh by the- veteran and an official |0f his school, must be received by before checks may be sent out. permitting a veteran to comply the form ahead of time, VA virtu ly has done away with any charife of delay. * VA explained that a veteran wmo goes home for a vacation stretA ing past the first of the month ob viously would not be available to sign his certification at the proper time. If it were not for the new procedure, he’d have to wait until he returned to school to sign it. As' a result, his check would be late. By signing before he leaves, the veteran is assured that the certification will reach VA on time, eliminating the possibility of a late allowance check. This same principle will apply in tha case of a veteran who finishes his . final examinations, and who leaves school before the official end of the term. He, too, will be permitted to fill out the certifica tion on his last day in class. Q—Premiums on my National Service Life Insurance policy are under waiver, since I’ve been total ly and permanently disabled for many months. I have a term' policy, but I’d like to convert it to a perm anent plan. May I do so, while pre miums are being waived? A—Yes. You may convert your term policy to. any permanent plan other than endowment. And you won't be required to take a medical examination. salemadv£nt| CHURCH NOTES| The Woman’s Home and Foreijfn Mission Society met at the churjto last Tuesday night for worship and business. Mrs. Louis Lane pre sented a chapter from the mission study book, “Iijdia, Give Me Thine Heart.” It was the privilege of the society to vote the final thirteen dollars on the recent improvement program, involving several hun dred dollars. ;• Prayer meeting was well attend ed, and Pastor Joyner led an ap preciative congregation in a stu^jy of Acts 16:16-40, where prayers and songs of faith were found re voking an unjust jail sentence. An other interesting study will be had this week, on Wednesday night. , The Youth Fellowship of' Lojlal Workers, social, at the) home >ef.

Joyner went to the home of the Rev. and Mrs. George Lane to enjoy on^ of the Sunday dinners for which the Lanes are famous. The Sunday morning sermon dealt with the thrilling story of transfiguration, and pointed the way to a modern application; in the evening there was a thrilling portrayal of how even the most savage of -pagans have found the solid rock foundation that is in Christ.

V.v :rS V.) m. SLATE-COLORED JUNCO ©1953. National WiMlifo hdaration Junco Bird. Has No Fear Of the Show With the possible exception of the Chickadees and Tree Sparrows probably few birds have put more grins on the faces pf those who must stay indoors in winter than thq Juncos. Even husky hikers en joy the birds as they come into a wind and snow-swept clearing and see the birds gaily gathering a breakfast of weed seeds when all other animals seem to bp else where. During the spring and fall mi grations north and south, the birds seem to be most abundant. Then their flocks are easily identified not only by their slaty color but by the flashing, white outer-tail | feathers. The combination of gray “hess and white outer-tail feathers is completed by a light-colored bill that contrasts with the darkness of the head. In the male the head is more conspicuously dark than in the female. Juncos measure about 6 1/2 inch es “and have a wingspread of 8 to 10 inches. They weigh about 7/10 of an ounce, may fly as fast as 17 miles an hour and have a body temperature of over 108 degrees F. Their light weight permits them to land on fluffy snow without sinking in as would larger birds like pheasants and crows. As a result, when deep snows come the Juncos continue their merry ex istence while'the larger birds be come bogged down. Hunger means little to a bird that can get a show er breakfast food by merely peck ing almost any dead weed-top that thrusts its. head above the snow. There are eight species of Jun cos to be found in North America with the total rising to twice that number if we recognize both spec ies and subspecies. Collectively they practically cover the conti nent except for the extreme noth ern barrens and the lowlands of Mexico. They are also to be found in Siberia. ' The common Slate-colored Junco nests in the northern part of the United States and into Canada. The nest is usually on the ground under some sort of cover and is made of grass 'with S finer lining. The 4 to 6 eggs are bluish, green ish or grayish, thickly spotted With fine purple, brown or lilac marks. The eggs are about 4/5 of an inch long and are incubated for 11 or 12 days. There may be one or two broods a year. A third of the winter food is prob ably the seeds and fruits of such noxious weeds as ragweed and smartweed. The remainder 'is probably the fruits and seeds of such common weeds as amaranth, lamb’s quarters, Russian thistle, and sunflower. While it might seem that tiie great flocks of Juncos feeding on enormous quantities of the fruits and seeds of these' nox ious plants ‘ might .be helping in weed control it is doubtful if this service is appreciable. As in many other kinds of wildlife, whether plants or animals, there is usually a harvestable surplus of weed seeds. It might be better to rec ognize that the weeds that feed Jut lit back and relax—it*! 19 quick, easy and convenient.. . ao low” in co«... lor examplot NORTHBOUND VMM Leave: 7:54 anf - 11:34 am 3:29 p.m 7:16 pm 9:19 pm GOLDSBORO .........i.. h I \Jk RALEIGH ............S €74 RICHMOND..1,^...!..’. 455’ WASHINGTON, D.
