THANKS GIVING TO CHRISTMAS A nationwide Bible Reading from Thanksgiving to Christ mas, in which millions of American service men and women and their families arid great numbers of other Americans will join, is being sponsored by the American Bible Society and two National Sponsoring Committees formed for this puipose. The National Sponsoring Committee of Laymen, composed of leaders in various fields, includes ex-President Herbert Hoo ver, John Foster Dulles, Admiral Ernest J. King, James Wright Brown, Editor and Publisher and Ambassador John G. Winant. More than thirty major religious bodies are represented on the National Sponsoring Committee of Denominational Presiding Officers. Hundreds of thousands of men and women in the armed forces and multitudes at home are finding the Bible an inspira tion and guide now as never before. By a more extended and simultaneous reading now by those in service and by those of us at home, a spiritual bond will be created that will be full of meaning for millions of families and that will make a priceless contribution to their hope and faith. Through a nationwide poll of pastors and Army and Navy chaplains, Bible peonages most helpful in times like these have been chosen. The passages receiving the largest number of votes are being designated for each of the 33 days between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Bookmark leauets listing the pas sages with helpful suggestions on how to get the m °r out of the reading are being furnished without charge !n ■< ge quan tities to churches and chaplains for wide distribution. Copies may also be secured by writing to the American Bible Society in New York. Both civilians and men and women in our armed foreea will be reading the passage each day all over the world.

A RESERVOIR OF GOOD WILL Modern transportation, communication, and the present World War are making it impossible for us to remain isolated countries, all strangers to eaeh other’s ways of living. We are, as Wendell Willkie, whose death is so fresh in our minds, so well defined it, “One World.” Willkie saw America as a leader in this “One World.” On lus trip abroad he found, as he phrased it, “a reservoir of good will” for the United States. Most of Mr. Willkie’s thinking on the closer unity of the world Geographically and spiritually, was global. It is a fact that modern science has drawn us closer together-in space; Willkie hoped that the war might somehow join us. The general shifting of population, the scattering of soldiers in new loca tions: all this will help to bieak down sectionalism and prepare for greater American toleration and undenrtanding*- To cope with the problem of the future we need a “reservoir of good will” for bach other hare in our own country even mors than we need it abroad- ^ ^ ^ tl|i Help Finish the Job WASHINGTON, D. C. (NWNS) Next to the election probably the most discussed subject here these days is the question of what to do with Germany after the war. Of the many interesting pro posals which have been offered, one made at a recent meeting of government and industry officials seems to be meeting with the greatest favor. That plan calls for the control of a few key indus tries in Germany by the Allies,, the destruction of all machines which could be.used for the man ufacture of tanks, planes, or oth er weapons, and a prohibition againBt Germans using any air craft whatever. It was pointed out by industri al experts that if the Allies oper ated German cola mines, the German chemical industry and the synthetic oil and rubber fac tories it would be impossible for Germany to prepare for another war. But it was emphasized that, to keep Germany under control, it would be necessary for the Al lies actually to operate these in dustries indefinitely and not just have a plan for inspecting their activities. In addition to control of these industries, the plan also calls for control over the distri bution of imiportant metals so that the Allies would permit their use only when they approved the purpose for which they were to be used. Of course this is only one of dozens of plans which have been suggested. But at present some plan for-controlling German in dustry, rather than making Ger many entirely an agricpltural country, as proposed by Secretary Morgenthau, seems to be the general aim. However, although the Morgenthau plan has met with little encouragement here, it is possible that it will be encoura ged by Great Britain and Russia. It is the general feeling here that our Allies will, in general, severely than we might do if the want to treat the Germans more decisions were left entirely up to our government. There was considerable sur prise here over the War Labor Board’s decision not to make any recommendations regarding the Little Steel formula. Although the War Labor Board was not set up to be a policy making group, it b dicicplt to understand why they listened to thousands of words o: testimony on this questio; if they didn’t intend to make any suggestions. But when the lonj. | awaited decision was finally mat it consisted simply of a resoli tion which stated: “The board is not sufficiently informed as to the possible effects of a modification of the Little Steel formula on the price struc ture and on the national economy generally to warrant any assur ance that any modification could be made consistent with the sta bilization needs of the country.” As a result of this resolution, the board has passed the buck to the President. The President has the power to break the Little .Steel formula, and approve high er wages, but it is doubtful if he will give it any further consider ation until after the election. It is also not clear, at present, what tactics labor will now take in working for increased wages. The labor members of the War Labor Board strongly opposed the reso lution which the Board passed, but were overruled. It is now probable that the labor leaders will put pressure on the Presi dent to increase the wage scale and will thereafter not bother with the WLB in seeking in creases. | STqj] PRESCRIPTIONS FILLED AT Houser DrugCo.

As you know, this cilumn tries ever used in this column. As you know this column tries concerns Number 236XXX. He was a prisoner in a federal penitentiary in New York State. One day a big wall calendar from, an electric com pany fell into his hands, and, with nothing better to do, he hung it on the wall of his cell. There was a page_for each month. These pictures showed electric trains, giant dams, high power lines, electric shovels, turbines and oth er applications of electricity. Number 236XXX looked at the calendar casually at first, then with more interest, for something about the speeding trains and great turbines caught his attention and fired his imagination. He began to wonder what made these machinies do the work. He asked some of the other convicts about these machines, and about electricity in general, but they knew little or nothing. Nor did they fceem to care. But 236XXX cared. So he went to the prison library and got a book in the rudiments of electricity. It opened up a new world; it made him forget bis surroundings. Until then be had been di*contented, but now he bad a dominant interest. He no longer noticed little things at which he had once taken umbrage. While the other men complained, Number 236XXX was absorbed in the new interest that had come into his life. He got more books, studied them, improved his mind The prison officials saw that he was turning from a dis gruntled prisoner into an earnest student, so they promo ted him to “trusty.” He could not find all the answers he wished in the books he had, so he wrote to the electric company and asked questions. The prison warden gave him a job in the repair and maintenance department of the prison. He continued to study and improve himself in the field of electricity. Then he was given his freedom on parole. He had perfected himself so thoroughly that when he got out he went to Troy, N. Y., and got a job as maintenance elec trician. Then he got his family together and their home was reestablished. Just now he is interested in fluorescent' lighting and is working on light assemblies, ballasts and starters. Already he is respected in his community. And it all started from a picture hanging on a wall in a cell in prison. It fired his imagination, aroused his in terest. made him want to know more about the subject, and finally got him out of prison on parole, reestablished his family, and got him a job. It shows how much what we see influences us. And how, if we get interested in any thing and follow it on and learn more and more about it, it will open up a new life for us. We cannot give you his name, but if anyone wishes to write him we’ll be glad to forward your letter. Cotton ginners h:\ve found it very difficult to find help to oper ate their plants this year.

CJraze the pine "flatwoods” to reduce lire hazard and promote reproduction, says Extension Farm Forester R. W. Graeher of State College. But flovi War forced closest attention to every motoring detail. And this fine habit of thoughtfulness has grown on car owners. You’d only be testing human kindness by changing to a half-flat spare and setting out for the next air hose. Where a forgetful man actually tries it, a good Samaritan generally drives up alongside, point ing a helpful warning. America has become as thoughtful as all that toward her indispensable cars. And of all the examples of car-care the greatest single one you can follow is to have your engine oil-plated. In that way—by changing to Conoco N«> motor oil for Winter—by changing to this patented oil that oil-plates—you’ll give your engine’s insides the nth degree of protection from acid corrosion. All engine combustion creates corrosive acids. They’re bad enough even when "exhaled” fairly well, but from now on they won’t be! Winter’s extra-low mileage and cool operation mean acids at their worst. Patented Conoco N*h oil, however —thanks to costly pioneer research—brings the special ingredient whose magnet-like effect oil plates your engine's fine inner finish, to cope with corrosion. Attached as closely as protective chrome plating could be, the internal oil-plating keeps up its steadiest possible hindrance to direct contact between acids and engine parts.. .Then down go the chances of corrosion, just as soon as you change to popular-priced Nth oil for Winter, at Your Mileage Merchant’s Conoco station.
