The magic of the mind ii imagination. Imagination trans
formed America from a wildernese to the greateat indue*
trial and agricultural power on earths Imagination—plus
courage and determination beat the Germane and the Jape*
Imagination will help win the peace, too. For winning
the peace can be summed up in one word, prosperity! Yes,
prosperity for all and prosperity means jobs. Who makes
jobs?
They come from American enterprise. And the Tele*
phone Company is proud to be a part of that enterprise.
Because thrilling days lie ahead—big days that mean
future prosperity for North Carolinians.
The 3,712 men and women of the Telephone Company
In North Carolina are now putting into effect the greatest
expansion program in their history in this state, calling
for an expenditure of millions of dollars. Their imagma*
tion did not go to sleep during the war years. It remained
•wake at the drawing boards.
Blue prints are leaping to life with telephones for all
who have been waiting for them, just as fast as we can
••cure the equipment. This is one of our top jobs I Tele*
phones for our farmer and rural friends are also being
swiftly scheduled. A greatly expanded long distance
service is in process, too. It will include the installation
©f coaxial cables so we can handle more calls with greater
■peed and convenience for you, and provide more facili
ties for television. A lot of construction is to be done
and a new service to motor vehicles is also in the offing.
What does it all mean ? For one thing, it means a con
tinuation of the pleasant, progressive partnership of the
people of North Carolina and the people of the Telephone
Company. Telephone folks are happy to be a part of
•his vast program that will lend so much impetus to the
state's own industrial and agricultural expansion plans.
As we see it, the future beckons North Carolina with a
Busy, prosperous hand!

The shattering of thje atom
has brought from scientists a de
mand for repentance, and U'or
admendment of personal and in
ternational life, if all life is not
to be destroyed, says Dr. Hairy
Emerson Fosdick, of Rtv'ersolle
Church, New York. He continues:
Look to yourselves, science
cries to mankind: you had better
repent; those spiritual values,
those inner secrets of life’s ethi
cal control that can wisely master
and direct these powers now put
into your hands—these are abso
lute necessities now. Hiroshima
and Nagasaki are but the first
dim, tame intimations of what
wtvr henceforth will mean. Ethi
cal control is wanted: a spiritual
life and faith adequate to master
and direct to savings ends the
might our hands have seized up
age, faith that hangs on when
age, - faitr that' hangs on when
hope fades, if we are to take the
rude barbarity of the human
heart so that the atomic age be
comes blessing and not curse.”
Statistics reaching the United
States from Germany on the des
Itroved and damaged properties
of’ the German Evangelical
Church (Lutheran) during the
war and only up to January 1,
1945 (later figures as yet una
vailable) make astounding read
ing. Totally destroyed are report
ed 428 churches and chapels, 404
parsonages, 559 parish houses
and other buildings, and 192 hos
pitals, old people's homes, etc.
“Heavily damaged” are an addi
tional 771 churches, 514 par
sonages, nOO other buildings, and
143 hospitals and homes. The
total of buildings listed as less
heavily damaged is 5,313.
A G. 1.—for seven months a
prisoner-of-war in Stalag Vll-A,
iVloosburg, Germany, and recently
retursed to this country—reveals
that in that and other prison
camps small "Christian Fellow
ships” existed during days of in
ternment, that relgious services .
were held daily "without benefit
of rhaplain”, that denomination
al and nationality differences
were forgotten, that many learn
ed to preach and to pray in pub
lic who had never done so be
fore, and that there were con
versions, and dedications of life
to the Christian ministry. When
Red Cross parcels failed to come
through (just before last Christ
mas), he says, “We stuck to our
motto, ‘The Lord will provide’,
and he did." And at Christmas,
when the Russians (who had no
Red Cross services), were hun
gry and cold, the Fellowship col
lected extra clothes, food, and
cigarettes to share with them.

NEEDS PARENTS LOVE

A TROUBLED mother wants to
know why her six-year-old son is
such a “mama’s boy.” “He will
start to school and go quite a
way then run all the 'Vay back to
give me “a great big kiss,” though
he has already kissed me good
bye, ’ she writes. “Also, he wants
me to watch him out of sight. He
calls goodbye so many times I
get tired of answering him.”
The mother goes on to assure
us that she does not pamper or
baby her son, adding, “I’m quite
severe witjh him when he acts in
this manner.” Here are some oth
'r facts of the boy’s background
which the mother’s letter disclos
es: At six he is the oldest of five
children and the only one attend
ing school. He is intelligent and
mates above average grades in
school, though his timidity has
made him the object of rough
house teasing.

THE HAM INSURANCE MAN
w_Parham, north Caroline
mat boy,” ths child. whom
we shall call “Freddie.” it
obviously to uncertain of bit
mother t affection that he
hat to teek conttant reattur
ance on that score. Her time
and strength habe doubtless
be^n to occupied in caring for
each baby at it came that
there hat been very little “mo
thering” left for the oldest
•boy. This hat probably been
true of the second child and
the third, too. but they at
least had the comfort of an
older brother. Betides, chil
dren vary in their need for
demonstrative affection. But
all children need to be told
that thev are loved and re
quire frequent gentle pats,
kisses and affectionate hugs
from their parents.
Now it isn’t always easy for
parents to show love for their
<jiiildren in this manner. This is
usually because their own parents
didn’t make over them and they
grew up without experiencing that
exchange of tenderness which
should be natural among members
of a family. Freddie’s mother
proves through her letter that she
is loving and kind. But we won
dm a bit about the father. If he
has stepped in when the second
baby arrived and made Freddie
his special favorite it would have
been easier for the boy to share
his mother’s attention with the
new baby. Instead we suspect that
he scolded his son for baby ways
long before any child could have
been erpected to give them up.
Since Freddie has missed
feeling secure of his moth
er’s love durinjr those forma
tive years when his approach
to life was being learned, he
may always have to struggle
against timidity in his relations
with people. But this doesn t
mean that he cant overcome
it. To help him. his parents
should begin now to empha
size their approval of their
son’s fine qualities—his good
work in school, his affection
ate nature. Since he had so
little cahnce to be the voung
est. being the oldest must be
made attractive, with a few
special privileges—preferably
having fun with his father.
Freddie may not outgrow his
need for prolonged parting 'at
once, for it seems to have reach
the stage , of what psychologists
I call “compulsive behavior." But if
| his mother answers gaily and cas
I ually, instead of sharply (each
i stern goodbyt calls for another
reassurance) the farewells will be
fewer. She should talk the mat
ter over jrently and humorously
with her son.
Freddie, should, however, have
a very special (joodbye from his
mother—a few minutes of talk
about what he expects to do in
school, praise for the way he has
prepared his homework, promise
of a little surprise when he comes
from school. Sent off with aH
lipht heart he will be less afraid^P
of older boys.
