In stead we are merely praying that our President and our other government leaders are making out something which somehow will put an end to war. More than at any time in history, vfe are leaving our “e in the hands of a handful of men in Washington and are trust ing in our congressmen to keep an eye on them to see that their plans make sense. Our democracy would be immeasurably strengthened if there was greater understanding and debate among the people over the important issues at hand, but, it is too much to expect that most of us, unversed in international diplo macy, can put ourselves in a position to judge the merits of each complicated proposal. But we can take a stand in the basic question at the bot tom of all the planning. That question is: should we bind oiu selves to work, and tight if necessary, with the other allied nations in order to try to preserve world peace? WOMEN NEEDED FOR WAR Enlisting of women for the armed services has been very difficult since the war with Germany ended. The greatest immediate demand for cadet nurses for tho army. In addition, thousands of additional WACs and WAVES are needed to keep the war against J»pan moving at maximum speed. Two years ago going into uniform was a more or less pop ular thing for a woman to do. Today, however, when a large number of men and quite a few women are being discharged from the army and when we hope the end of the war is just over the horizon, it takes a lot of downright Patriotism for a woman to give up her comfo. table home life to go to the Pacific. m. WE ARE LEARNING The net result Jt ah the comment and investigation relat ing to sugar shortage, butter shortage, cheese and milk products shortage, beef shortage, poultry shortage, pork shortage, lamb shortage, egg shortage, dry bean shortage and shortage piled upon shortage, is as clear as mud to the average citizen. He is told that cattle on the range number approximately 3. per cent more than ever before in history, but he can’t eat cattle on the range. In the butcher shop he sees horse meat, colt meat, much fish that was never used for anything but crab bait, various insides of animals which are now sold for human consumption, bare bones sold for several cents a pound, and all manner of substitutes for legitimate food. The OPA, the War Food Administration, and the Depart ment of Agriculture are blamed for this situation. In all fair ness, it should be stated that no one agency is to blame. A world war upsets any domestic economy. But it is safe to say that the “planned economy” which we accepted as a war and anti-inflation measure, had a great deal to do with the disor ganization and shortages in our normal sources of supply. Un ■ controllable elements in a planned economy create shortages in K many instances. Holding down the hog supply or thg wool mar F ket may help some producers while it hurts the consumers of | lard and wool shirts. ^ The people must remember that the idea of a controlled economy is no different than the philosophy of socialism which puts government into business to the exclusion of private citi zens. Are we going back to a free economy with the risks and rewards which it entails, or will we become resigned to accent ing the judgment and oppressions of government in lieu of our own opinions and freedom of action after the war? We are having experience with a planned economy now on whch to base our peacetime decisions. DEATH OF MR. NEWELL (Charlotte Observer) News of the unexpected death of Mr. Jake F. Newell brought sorrow to a very large circle of friends and admirers in Charlotte and throughout North Carolina, who long had es teemed him for his high qualities of heart and mind. He was one of the friendliest of men, an able lawyer pos sessing one of the keenest minds in the legal profession in Char lotte, a fine citizen always alertly interested in public affairs, always loyal to what he regarded as the best interests of his community, State and Nation, a loyal and active churchman, a man who sought to direct his influence on the side of what is fundamentally best for mankind. For many years he was actively interested in politics and stood high in the councils of his party, always exertng a progres sive influence. His was a character to be admired, and in his passing his community and State suffer distinct loss. The ^Somnolent Dragon Feels His Oats BEHIND THE SCENES m AMERICA* BUSINESS * w££L_-- _ • NEW YORK, August U—Look for some reverberations of the atomic bomb on Washington plan ning. For several weeks, now. there has been a growing beliet in government that the Japanese phase of the war might end in three to nine months. It was baseu on the assumption that Japan would surrender before her ar-f mies were defeated in battle. The tremendous implications of the atomic bomb wii undoubtedly in crease that optiivsm. At any rate, the following developments are known to be underway now: the Treasury is working on a peace time tax structure; the Office of War Mobilization and Reconver sion is giving more attention to reconversion than it is to mobiliza tion and Reconversion is giving more attention to reconversion than it is to mobilization; the War Production Board, the Office of Price Adminstraton and oiher war agencies are preparing re ports on such subjects as continu ation of rationing and price con trol. Even the Army and Navy are planning how to demobilize and what peacetime strength should be. However, the military is not likely to alter its manpow er and procurement policies sub stantially until the Japs actually quit. The generals and admirals want insurance against any even tualities. DOUBLE HONORs—When the government conferred the Achieve ment *A” award for outstanding wartime food production on the A & P's White House Milk plant at Manitowoc, Wis., it incidental ly honored a Wisconsin family, the Mareks, who have contributed greatly to the war effort, ft was Mrs. Otto Marek, Sr., who ac cepted the award in behalf of 692 fellow workers and it was her son Otto, Jr., wearer of the Pres idential ditation, Purple Heart and Croix de Guerre, who assisted Brig. Gen. J. E. Barzynski in mak ing the presentation. Mrs. Marek had joined the plant staff after Otto and two other sons went oft to war. She developed into a key employee, helping her co-workers do a record-breaking job during the biggest milk flush in Wiscon sin history. Meanwhile, her three sons distinguished themselves on the fighting fronts, Donald with the Marines in China, David with the Merchant Marine in France and Otto in the Second Division’s historic Normandy operatons. Ot to, Sr., worked at the Manitowoc shipyards until an old injury from World War I sent him to the Milwaukee Veterans Hospital, THINGS TO COME—iSynthetic compounds to replace former nat ural rubber for sealing home cann ed goods. Its greater resistance to oil, oxygen, light and aging will keep foods longer . . . Blackened stainless steel for surgical instru^ ments and some sporting goods to eliminate light reflection. It is al so considered for cooking utensils to attract heat instead of deflect ing it . . .

A new battery, as large as a dime, which will last longer and give more power than the convential flashlight battery ... A whole new field of insecticides, opened up by experiments with DDT, which will destroy bugs, but are less deadly. TRAVEL OUTLOOK—J. J. Pel ley, president of the Association of American Railroads said it: •‘Actually there are no civilian trains on our railroads today.' j In that sentence he summed up a movement of 1,260,000 troops in {organ used groups on AmertFar 'railroads in July, 1,000,000 more to come home during the final live months of this year, two-thirds of organized military passenger traffic moving in sleeping cars. It .xplains succinctly such tacts as: 115,000 out of 172,000 accom modatons m the Pullman Com pany's fleet of sleeping ears are available for mass movement ot military personnel; 60,000 addi tional beds in 1,200 government owned and Pullman operated spe cial tioop sleeprs are in exclusive military service; that about 57, 000 sleeping accommodations in the Pullman pool reman on reg ularly scheduled trains, but that a substantial portion of these are reserped for Government Reser vation Bueaus for men on duty traveling under orders in small parties or as individuals, and oth ers traveling at their own expensV on furloughs—“Actually there ai'c no civilian trains.” BITS O’ BUSINESS—Recor.1 version is now at that stage where it might best be called a mass scramble for materials. Manufac turers have the go-ahead signal on numerous items if they can find the materials. One of the na tion's largest manufacturers has enough material for his limited production for this quarter.

Lesson for August 19. Genesis 2S.10-22. Memory Verse: Psalm 145:18. Soon after Jacob had se .'lived t lie birthright and supplanted his brother, he was forced to flee from Esau’s wrath. At Bethel the fugitive Jacob dreamed a heavenly dream — ne saw a ladder set up on the earth the top of it reaching into heaven and on it, ascending and descend ii■, . he angels of God.. Surely tin . e was never a more beautiful s.\ mbol of prayer. A; pearing at the top of the ladder, Jehovah repeated the promise He had made to Abraham ml Isaac—the posterity of Jacob would be as that dust ot the earth, in his descendants all families of he earth blessed, and God would be with Jacob wheresoevei he went. Jacob awoke with the realiza ion that he was in God’s presence "And he was afraid’’ and said, SMALL START ENDED BIG In 1918 the Frisco railroad ran a demonstration train on what was called its “Leaky Roof Branch. The train passed through Clinton, Mo. Egg experts were on this demonstration train and they went to the high scnool au ditorium and talked on eggs and poultry. The people jin the audience put their names in a hat and prizes were giv en by the railroad to the winners. ; In the audience was a high school senior. His name was called as one of the winners. His prize was a setting of purebred White Plymouth Rock eggs. His first thought was to eat the eggs, then he said to him self. “These are fine eggs. Why not set them and learn something new?” But he did not have a hen. So he rented one from the foreman of the railroad section gang at five cents a week _15 cents for the three weeks that it took to hatch the eggs. Thirteen fine downy chicks were hatched; so he rented the hen for two more weeks to take care of the chicks. The chicks grew and thrived; he sold half of them at a profit. Meantime he was learning something new, getting a peek into a world he’d known nothing about. Next he bought some more eggs of the same pure-bred strain; by the time he was ready to graduate from high school he had a good sized flock of purebred White Plym outh Rock chickens. He bought a second-hand incubator and started in earnest to learn everything he could about the chicken business. He read everything on it, went to ev ery lecture he heard of, read all the poultry bulletins is sued by the Agriculture department, Washington, D. C. He put a small ad in the paper offering baby chicks for sale. People came with boxes, buckets and baskets. Then he said, “Why won't this work by mail?” He discovered that a chick does not need food or water the first 72 hours after hatching. During that time it lives on the sustenance absorbed from the yolk. He ran an ad in the paper announcing this, saying he could ship chicks before they needed food. Answers poured in. Well, today Clinton. Mo., is the “baby chick capital of the world.” and Royal Booth is a rich man. In 1943 he sold six million baby chicks/ ! "This is none other than the house , of God. and this is the pate ol j heaven." Reside the bright ladder ot | prayer Jacob lifted the pillar ot j sacrifice Better than the oil was the offering of his vow and also himself unto God. Remarkably -$o in that distant age. Jacob vowed | to give the tenth uyto God if God would keep hint in the way he should go. Whatever Jacob’s faults and er rors after this, his life was differ ent. Jacob the supplanter. in the course of time, did attain unto the dignity of Israel the prince, and formed an important link in the ancestry of a people who have been known by his later name.
