He further saic that the policemen were anxious to be of any help possible to ser vice men or their families and friends, and that personally h€ was glad to see them on the streets. During the business meeting ol the Club, it was voted unanimous ly that the police force be made honorary members of the Club. Rev. L. P. Barnette, pastor ot the First Methodist Church, spoke of the need of the person to at tend some church. He presentee a copy of a poster calling atten tion to the fact that every church invites the public to its services: He read from I.eTourneau’s mag azine “NOW”, the following: HOW TO KILL YOUR PASTOR Someone has compiled the foll owing list as a sure method tc kill preachers:— Don't attend the Sunday evening service. Don’t attend the prayer meeting Only hear him when “convenient. Habitually come late. Sit just inside the door. Don't give him your attention. Rush out as soon as the service ends. Act Cold Show Your Dignity Never Thank Him for his Message Never appreciate his efforts. Tell him what wonderful messag es you hear elsewhere. Criticize him before your children. Don’t make him welcome when he Criticize him for not calling. Accuse his wife of trying to run things. Don't offer to help. Don’t take your Sunday guests to hear him. Don't inform him when von are ill. Don’t pray for him. Don't do what he says. What about going thoughtfully over the list again to see if you are guilty of some of these things. If you are guilty, the Word says: —“Whoso confesseth and forsak eth them shall obtain mercy.’’— (Proverbs 28:13). ’ The Club meeting was held at the Dora Park, and a most excel lently prepared meal, of which the main dish was fresh water cat tish. was served. A large crowd was present, including a number of visitors.

Through this legis lation, whi ch organized labor fought so hard to enact, old-age and unemployment insurance sys tems h..\ e been established for millions of American workers. I revision has like a, e been made to assist State public assistance pro; a ms for the needy oil, tile needy blind, and dependent chil dren. Mrs. Janet Hall Green, manager of the Gastonia Social Securitj Hoard field office, reviewed tin pi ogress that has been made un del- these three programs during the last ten years as follows: Old-Age and Survivor* Insur ance. By the middle of 194o more than 72 million pel sons, oi two out of three in our total pop up? tron aged 14 or over, have ini.It in some credit toward bene fits under our Federal system oj old-age and survivors insurance. Some 40 million of these are in sured, so that, if they should die tomorrow, their families would be cl’gible to receive monthly bene fits, or a lump sum o1 money. Al ready well over a million men and women are receiving $20 million in benefit, payments each month. Unemployment Insurance. About ;{i; million workers are now pro tected by job insurance under the . ecu ral-State unemployment in s',ranee programs. Millions more "e building up wage credits that s1 ;<1 hi.er make them eligible tar -nch benefits. By the end of 1944, States’ unemployment insurance funds were great enough to have p;.id 7 1 out ot every 100 workers in covered employment job insur ance for the greatest number of weeks provided under State laws. Public Assistance. Through 1944 the federal Government had con tributed well over $2 1-2 billion to the States to help finance tneir assistance programs for three groups: the needy old, the needy biind and dependent children. More than 80 percent of this to tal was distributed to States to help rare for eldeily pe pie m reef. As iu>ue and more peop.e .ale covered by old-age and s:i;vi 'vms iiimi ance, this number w.ll ! decrease over the years 1 Out of its experience ir admin istering the act, the Social Secur ity Board has recommended to Congress that the law be expand ed to cover sickness, permanent disability and medical care insur ance; and extended to include mil lions not now covered by its pro WOODIE LONDON HOME FROM HOSPITAL Woodie London has retiii nc * home from the Gordon Crowel, Memorial Hospital where he un derwent an appendectomy two weeks ago.

MON.-TUES., AT THE STRAND — 2 DAYS Eric Von Stroheim and Mary Beth Hughes in a scene from the new Republic picture, “The Great Flamarioa* COMING WED.-THURS-, STRAND 2 DA*YS — “THE FROZEN GHOST” WITH LON CHANEY, EVELYN ANKERS FEATURE NO. 2—“HIS BROTHERS GHOST' WITH BUSTER CRABBE & AL ST. JOHN. jMsaprftethoed DON'T MISPLACE THOSE TAGS. We’d like to shout from the house tops “Beware of oagsl' No, that isn’t a misprint—we said tags, not dogs. And by tags we mean those little snatches ot psy chology that are on everyone's tongue. You hear them constant ly: “Jane couldn't help fai'mg in school—she has such an tnieiior ly cm iplex,” (jr (and we heard this one in a movie) “If a boy is hard to get along >vtih just ignore him—don’t give bi n any ‘unearned artsnttin’ ,o'l he’ll soon come to appreciate ,iis parents." Now let's see why thes'j tags ire dangerous. Each of them night be quite true in a particu ar case, but applied throughtless y to every child who fails m school, to every hostile boy, they necome highly misleading. Take the inferiority com plex—it ha* come to be an alibi for a lot of people who ju*t don’t want to exert them»elve* enough to suc ceed at their variou* job*. True, there are many unfor tunate person* weighted down with a sense of inadequacy because they were never giv en the chance to acquire self confidence. But as a rule the real sufferers from this feel ing of being less worthy than | other* don’t use it as an ex cure, but instead keep trying | to work out of it. Judge John F. Perkins of the Boston Juvenile court warns that we are building up in young peo-| pie a “philosophy of excuse' ; by blaming all delinquency on parents or on society, though both have a great deal to answer for, it doesn’t do the individual much good to provide nm with a ready alibi for all his wrong do ings' Children still need to be' taught what is right and what is wi ong and in so far as they are capable of understanding, given responsibility for their actions. So don’t pick out a handy tag to excuse your children’s failings ^ look for the real reason and help* the ni overcome it. As for ignoring an unfriendly boy, as we heard a psychologist in a recent film advise a step mother to do, this might work it he boy’s hostility were merely a form of showing off. But the boy in question was hurt and fright ened because he had lots the sole companionship of his father thru the latter’s remarriage. Ignoring him would, in real life if not in the movies, tend to make him feel more lost and unwelcome. Again it is true that unearned attention is responsible for a great many spoiled children. Es’|jcially do they need to learn that good be- [ havior earns more attention than deliberate naughtiness. But to appiy this stage to a boy who is, going through the terrific adjust ment of taking second place in his father’s life illustrates what we mean by “Beware ol tags. WASHINU I UIN, V v V*v IXo r | —Tlie state department eontinu-, os to be busy denying peace rum ors, but the rumors continue. The most persistent of them is one hat Premier Stalin went to the Potsdam conference with the to'ms which the Japanese were; willing to accept. j The Japanese may or may not have launched ‘-peace feeler, | foil anyone who takes any stock in these unfounded rumors should remember that similar rumors about Germany which were ram pant during the African phase or the war in 1942.

Military leaders here do not expect the Japanese to surrender until some time next year— per haps not until 11)47. They feel certain that a full invaHon will he necessary to bring the Japs to their knees. With the announcements of reconversion to some civilian production in many large manu facturing plants, the OTA i; now working to set up a plan for pric ing new pi t ducts so that msinu facuuers ..ill get a fair uront and consumers won’t have to pay too much. Alt.st industries mien 1 to seek higher than pre-war pncej and have notified the OPA of that intention. With automobile.. !<>r example, it /s estimated that laoor costs ai-e now 25 per cent aigher tl'.an they were in 1941, anil tnat additional costs will be nused on to the consumer. According to the part of tne re conversion price plane which al ready has been worked out, man ufacturers will submit data on in creased costs to the OPA and get a new ceiling price set within a few days. The increases permit ted will be based on formulas worked out by OPA. Stating the confidence of the OPA that its plan will provide the basis for a fair profit to industry, Janies F .Brownlee, deputy ad ministrator for price of the OPA said: “At the same time, the program maintains our guard against the inflation of prices and operating costs which untimately led to the destruction of so many businesses and jobs after the last war and delayed successful re conversion for two years.” By the end of this year there should be a sizeable amount of merchandise on the market which hasn't been since the war started. Automobiles will, by the end of the year, probably be available on ly on priority, and other needed heavy home equipment may stilt be hard to get but we can expect soon to see some refrigerators, washing machines lawa mowers, and a lot of smaller items. Tires, it is predicted, will probably be available to A card holders around the beginning of 1946 . Thirty dollars a week or 75c an hour for a 40-hour week, is apt to become the legal minimum pay within two years. Bills have been introduced into both house, of congress to amend the Fair Labor Standards act of 1938 to provide for this. The bills seek to set the minimum at 65 cents an ■hour for a 44-hour week lor the first year, 75 cents for a 42-hour week for the second year, and ib cents for a 40-hour week after that. The present act provides a 40-cents an hour minimum wage. Thus, if the new legislation goes through, which seems quite likely minimum wages will be almost double what they were in 1938.
