He never did have time lor• the usual breaking-in period. The people of the United State*, during that two month* period, had ample time to make up their mind* a* to whether or not they approve of hi* policies. And a poll recently completed by the reliable American Institute of Public Opinion show* that they do—overwhelmingly. The poll, made after our President had completed two month* in office, showed that 87 per cent approve the way he ha* handled his job, and only 3 per cent expressed disapproval. That is a better rating than President Roosevelt got in similar polls at the height of his popularity. I FARM SAFETY WEEK The week of July 22-28 has been designated as National Farm Safety Week. The chief value of a week of this kind is to concentrate attention on a matter which is of real importance at all tini2.s but which is not usually given the attention it de serves. There is no doubt that thousand* of fatal oi srippliug accidents could be prevented if farmers would simolv fol low the simule precautions which they already know they should take Most of us are inclined to take too many chance*—to do things which we know are dangerous but to trust to luck that we will get away with them. The figures show that an alarmingly high number of us are pot lucky. The accident rate continues to soar. We hope the farmers will take National Farm Week seriously and will, dur ing that week, work out individual safety programs which will cut down the chances of accidents on their farms. IS YOUR SELF-RESPECT WORTH ANYTHING? Are you willing to help win the war against Japan, Natur ally you will say yes. There are two outstanding things those of us who are privileged to lemain at home can do to aid the fighting forces. First, we can work to the limit of our strength and ability without interruption; second, we can deny ourselves luxuries in ordsr to buy the war bonds necessary to give aur fighting men every ounce of food and equipment they need. While millions of men are facing death and foregoing the pleasures of home and family life, every mother’s son of us should put every dollar we can into financing this war, so that by the sheer weight of equipment we throw into it we will bring it to a conclusion at the earliest possible moment, thereby sav ing the lives of countless loved ones. After all, this is our war; our boys are the boys on the firing line; our homes are the homes being saved, how much would your life or property be worth if the Japanese army and navy had not been held at bay, and were not eventually de molished? Don’t think that in buying war bonds you are in some manner doing somebody a favor; you are the one who is really favored by having an opportunity to buy them. Think what it means to the boys at the front to know that the nec essary money is given willingly to back them up. All war loans necessary to knock out the Japs must go over the top with a bang. American bullets and American money are the most discouraging things they can face todsj. Why should we hesitate about buying that extra bond when the boy with a rifle hits the beachheads without question, not knowing at what moment he may be Mown to bits or blinded or crippled for life—and then we quibble about loaning $25 or $100 to buy more supplies for him. There is only one answer if you wish to keep your self-respect. fc A HITLER BROADCAST (Greenville News) The broadcast of the “mysterious german language radio, as reported by the London Daily Sketch, asserting that Hitler is alive and safe, may have an important signifieance for the Al lied governments Even assuming that the broadcast is a lie, it may signify a purpose to maintain and build up a sort of Nazi "underground” by promising that Hitler is going to come back in due time and that ‘the light will come again from the darkness.” Allied authorities have indicated their belief that such an attempt would be made by fanatical Nazis and that such move ments must be carefully watched for. Perpetuation of such a Hitler legend would nerve the purposes of these Nazis, even though there is no foundation in fact for their assertions. The incident makes it clearer than ever that every effort must be continued to prove conclusively tfcat Hitler is dead or to capture him if he is alive; and along with those efforts must be constant vigilance to root out all such Nazi tinderground ac tivity. Looking Into the Inevitable -- ' ♦ Jy ' I DROP THAT PLUNDER.^ BEHIND THE SCENES M AMERICAN BUSINESS, nit? BEHIND THE SCENES O NEW YORK, July 1«. — It's still a two front war for the auto mobile industry. On July 1 the industry was giv.en the green light bky governmen to go ahead, pro duce some civilian cars. On a lim ited basis, the industry can turn out if it can get the necessary materials on time, 2,14fi,78G cars in the nejct 12 months. This figure compares with 8,744,-100 passen ger cars produced in the last nor mal year of 1941. As far us the in dustry is concerned ( ti nt’s one front—the civilian fi ■ ’t. But its huge productive faci! • are still grinding out war goods for the, Pacific. Recently the industry had | some ten billion dollars of war work on its books. Since then I there have been some cutbacks, man* cancellations. But Hi-; vol ume remaining is still enormous —just like the job of beating of Japan. It’s doubtful if any gov ernment war order ever created the interest sparked by the WPB green light on civilian cars. Even the cautions, conservative. New York Times carried the story on its front page, listing each man ufacturer by name, and giving the number of cars to be produc ed by each. Truly America is learning the link between the public welfare and economic ac tivity. FOR WANT OF A NAlLr—Civ ilian goods are more than just pots and pans and washing ma chines. The men who make these are having their struggles, trying to get needed materials. But rail road passenger cars are also civ-i ilian goods—and civilian goods] that are desperately needed. The I carbuilders have been granted permission to build passenger cars. But they must compete for their thousand and one materials in the open, crowded market. Before the war, America's largest car builder procured materials from more than 500 different suppliers for a typical passenger car. Now, after surveying many of these suppliers, the Pullman-Standard Manufacturing Company finds that in some- cases the prospects for obtaining materials are en couraging, but in others—dismal. But the company cannot start to build a single car unless it knows it can nave every needed item on the production track. Failure of just one part to arrive when need ed would halt produution, freeze an enormous investment in sup plies. Says vide-president Wallare N. barker. “This would be a real istic case of the old fable, ‘For want of a nail the siToe was lost” THINGS TO COME—A new food preservative to replace sodi um benzoate.

MORE HOSPITALS—The A merican people need hospitals. Over the next ten years some $3< 0 million to $450 mill.on an nually will he spent to meet the country’s civilian hospital needs says a recent survey oy .Modern Hospital Publishing Co., In". VV itb thirty-one states having less than ■‘reasonable minimum” ho^pita1 standards, and with the spread oi hospitalization insurance having brought the possibility of hospital expansion into practically ever - community, construction and re 1 adding of civilian hospitals will be lug business in the po-twai vears. So big, in fact, that build ing supply people already are cai sulating the demands that will be made upon them. One of the first or the building industries to pre sent the falts are the makers of wall and floor tile. The tile men say more than 9,250 persons a year will be needed just to pro duce and install the 33 million square feet of tile they esrimate will he required for the hospital building program. Paul R. Her bert, of the Tile Council of Amer ica, predicts that about S10.u'K), 000 yearly will be expended on tile and other ceramics. EMPLOYMENT —Employment figures are now beginning to re flect a decline in manufacturing activity. With cut-backs and can cellations, there naturally i.as been a fall in the production rate. Each month the National Indus trial Conference Board releases a detailed study of employment figures, earnings, cost of living. According to the latest study, to tal civilian non-farm workers m April numbered 41.2 million. This was ISO,000 less than in March, and 385,000 less than in April of last year. Factory workers in manufacturing industries totaled 14.4 million persons, some 1.2 mil lion under April, 1944, and fully 2 million, under the .peak readhed in November. 1943. the* Confer ence Board ays tliat 02.8 million Americans are either employed now or are in the armed force £ Farm workers number 9.5 miiliof an increase of 9 per cent over the previous month, aYid a reflec tion of the usual seasonal rise.

Memory Verse: Genesis 13:6. After the sojourn in Egypt, Abraham went up “into the Sou th”— the southern portion ol Canaan, and came at length to his old alter at Bethel and called upon the name of Jtehovah. tlo into Egypt, Abraham relapsed from faith and trusted in his own d. vices, with had eonsquences. i returning to Canaan to make a new start, he returned also to his alter and his faith. He and his clan were rich and ,he land was not "able to hear’ both his flocks and those of his nephew. Strife between Abra ham's herdmen and those ot Lot was unseemly and might be peri lous in the presence of the Canaa nites and the Perizzites. The older man bade Lot choosee whatever portion of the land he would. And Lot chose the rich plain of the Jordan and "pitched his tent to ward Sodom” and dwelt in that wicked city by and by. Contrast the motives of Abra ham and Lot, when they separat ed, and see the resultes. in each case. Abraham remained in the hills, but his generosity brought him rich reward. Lot reached So dom but his wordly sprit and his selfishness brought him material ruin and he soon passed into ob livion. Thus does self-interest of ten lead men to more than they bargin for. Abraham, in his “practice of brotherhood,” accepted the poorer section of the country but he re tained his earthly riches and in V 'JT i ONE-A-DAY Vitamin A and D Tablets EACH tablet contaias 25% mac* 1 than minimum daily require- I ments of these two essential Vi- ! tamins.

IMPORTANT—when buying Vita* mins, compare potencies and prioea Get them at your drag atoca.* 0 NO DETOUR TO REAL GOAL Are you bothered and interrupted when you are try ing to work? Well, let me tell you about a woman who had all sorts of interruptions. The story was told me by her grandson. She was trying t<> write a novel, but she could write only an hour or two at a time, for she had six children and for a time she had no household help at all. That woman turned out to be one of the greatest and most famous wometl ever born in America — Harriet Beecher Stowe. And the book she wrote with six children hanging around her knees, was “Untie Tom's Cabin. And her grandson who told me the story is Lyman Beecher Stowe. She had a table in the kitchen where she wrote much »f the book. And 1 have seen this table with my own eyes, the would cook awhile, then write awhile. Meanw'hile her husband was working on his deathless sermons. Some days she was interrupted so often that she hought she could not go on with the work. But she had a Jeep, driving impulse-—-there was something she believed n. So she rose up against all obstacles and continued with ler writing. When the book appeared, no magazine thought it was paid $100. She hoped that the book would be published and that t would bring in enough lor hei to buy a silk dress lor uerself. When tht book appeared, no magazine thought it worth writing a review about'. But after the book got “go ,ng’’ then they reluctanty wiote reviews ol it. The book began to gather momentum and became a tremendous factor in casting slavery out ot this country. Vet she had dine her work Under the greatest difficulties' _poverty, interruptions, six children. But she got the job done. And i; became the Book id' the Century. So if you feel you have to work under impossible onditions. think of Harriet Beecher Stowe and keep on writing. If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much ot the best vork of the world has been done against seeming impos sibilities. The thine is to get the work done._ ime received infinitely more thani 'he riches of earth. \ nsel 1 ishne>s brings men to the higher good, without which material things 1 nrove a delusion and a scare. | They who make the great decis | ions' with thought of the other | fellow and in the light of the e-j ternal world are truly wise. Planning for TEIEF30EE PROGRESS in Rural DIXIE To keep step with farm progress and to extend service to more farm families, the telephone industry is working on important new devices and methods. Plans are already under way for resuming our rural telephone expansion program which was suspended in 1942 when equip* ment ami materials became more urgently needed for the armed forces. Surveys are being made to determine the needs and to provide the facts from which we can carry out plans for. expansion of farm telephone service in the South. The goal is to bring the tele phone to the greatest possible number of farm families.
