The average wall is covered in one
niece by a single Big Sheet of
llomasote. You gain structural
strength and high insulating value.
You have a perfect base for paint
or wall paper.
Perhaps most important of all,
your home isjorevtrjree from annoy
ances and dangers of cracked or
Jailing plaster.
Let us give you the full story of
llomasote — the oldest and strong
est insulating and building board
on the market — one of the most
useful of all building materials...
Permanently tie-, l her proofyou can
use it for inter ior walls, for exterior
finish and for every sheathing need.
Here’s the modern way
to sheathe a wall
Why use 6-inch or 8-inch strips —
or even 4-foot widths — when you
can sheathe an 8-foot by 14-fool
area with one piece o] material? Think
of all the extra handling operations,
all the unnecessary nailing opera
tions that can be saved! And — fewer
joints mean less air leakage, a
tighter house.
When you sheathe with Homasote
Big Sheets, you also g..in in struc
tural strength. Homasote sheathing
is 270% stronger than conventional
horizontal sheathing.
Let us give you the full facts.

Bonds program at the very highest
levels of the Government. More

ops the virtues of thrift and sav
ings—virtues which have made
America great.”

Night Driving
Is Dangerous
“Beware of the man who claims
he makes better time driving at
night," J. T. Outlaw, executive vice
president, North Carolina Motor
Carriers association, warned to
day.
“I don’t mean you should try to
make a liar out of him, but before
you try to follow his example, find
out just how he does it.”
Mr. Outlaw explained that the
trucking industry sponsors a year
round courtesy and safety cam
paign and for October this cam
paign deals with night driving.
“The lighter traffic at night
misleads many drivers. The only
advantage it offers is to reduce
the time needed to get through
larger cities where daytime con
gestion is a major problem and
source of delay,” he continued.
i he man who uses lighter traffic
as an excuse for higher speed at
night is headed for trouble. The
record shows that the night fatality
rate is consistently three times the
daytime rate. Reduced visibility
at night increases the chances of a
serious accident,” he observed.
Before tackling an all-night
drive, Mr. Outlaw advised drivers
to weigh any advantages offered
by light traffic against:
1. Reduced visibility resulting
in less warning of impending dang
er.
2. The probability that you will
not get sufficient rest before start
ing, thereby increasing the dang
er of falling asleep at the wheel.
3. The necessity of holding speed
to a point where you can see dang
er in time to stop.
“Sub-yOero” Steels
Pressure vessels for chemical
processes operated at temperatures
as low as 150 degrees below zero
Fahrenheit are made of nickel al
loy steel since ordinary steel be
comes brittle at such low tempera
tures. Other special nickel-con
taining materials permit the use of
such vessels at temperatures below
minus 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Canada Maintains Position.
The important position of Cana
da in nickel production—it furn
ishes over 90 per cent of the free
world’s output—has been main
tained by the constant effort to un
cover and develop its nickel ore
bodies, to create better methods
of getting that ore out of the earth
and to provide economies in its
smelting and refining.
Nickel Producers.
Nickel has been produced in
many countries in the past. In re
cent years it has been mined in
quantity in Canada, Celebes, Cuba,
New Caledonia, Norway and Rus
sia, and in smaller amounts in sev
eral other countries.

Rice Selects His
All-Time Backs
Selected by Grantland Rice, dean
of An erican sports reporter, this
is the all-time all-American back
field.
It is headed by Janies C. Thorpe,
the Carlisle star who is Still ranked
by rr. st experts as the world s
greatest athlete.
The selection: Jim C. Thorpe.
Pos- b’y the greatest all-nv.ui ath
lete American sports history,
Jim Thorpe -tarred as• brilliantly
in football as in track or baseball.
j»]ayn i; for the Carlisle Indians in
190s. i'll and 1912, he was a fast,
crashing ball carrier and a brais
ing tackier. Selected All-Ameri
can in 1911 and 1912, he racked
up 198 points in a single 'season
(1912' a record exceeded only
once in modern football.
George Gipp.
Notre Iiame 1917, 1918, 1919,
1920, Two weeks after the "Great
Gipper" was selected by Walter
Camp as Notre Dame’s first All
American he died of a strep throat
in South Ben'd. Ind., cutting short
one of the most amazing football
career- in history. Gipp. a reluc
tant football recruit, starred in his
first game when, against Kalama
zoo, he drop-kicked a 62-yard field
goai. From then on his great run
ning, passing and kicking led great
Notre Dame teams culminating in
a smashing 27-17 win over Army
in 1920. In 1919 and 1920, Notre
Dame was undefeated and rated
Champions of the W'est,
Bronko Nagurski.
University of Minnesota, l'Jii,
1928, 1929, 1930. Nagurski was
on*- of the hardest runners of all
time—s hard, that it has been said
he rar: his own interference. His
230 p unds pulverized some of the
best lines in history. Nagrurski has
the distinction of having been
picked as All-American for two po
sitions, both full-back and tackle,
on the same team in 1929.
Clint Frank.
Yale 1935, 1936, 1937. One of
the great Yale backs of history,
Clint Frank was an outstanding
broken-field runner and passer—
and played a rugged game on de
fense as well. During his three
years of varsity play, Frank com
pleted 59 passes, scored 20 touch
downs, and gained a total of
2135 yards. In 1937, against Dart
mouth, he completed 9 passes for
a total 132 yards and, in the
same year he ran 79 yards and 51
yards against Princeton in the
driving rain—both for touchdowns.
Sam (Slinging Sammy) liaugh.
Texas Christian University, 1934,
1935, 1936. I rate Sammy Baugh
as one of the smartest quarter
backs that ever played as well as
one of the greatest passers. In
1935 Baugh’s passing figured in
the scoring of every game TCU
played. In steady action for 20
years going from college to star
dom on the Washington Redskins—

Ernie Severs.
Stanford 192:!. 1924. 1925. Sev
ers was a truly great back. Sot
only was he a smashing, knees
high fullback, but he was a fero
cious line-backer, a punishing
blocker, a fine pur.ter and an ac
curate passer. Often playing <>
minutes, he led Stanford in the
legendary 1925 Rose Bowl game
against S'otre Dame. Playing on
two broken ankles with legs so
tightly taped they had no feeling,
he carried the ball 34 times out
of the 45 times Stanford ran.
gained 114 yards out of the Stan
ford total of 174. S’otre Dames
entire backfield carried only •«*
times and gained only 12" yards.
Severs’ “Number 1" is the only
football jersey ever retired by
Stanford.
Harold (Ked) Urange.
Illinois 1923, 1924, 1926. In high
school, college and professional
ball "The Galloping Ghost" carried
the ball 4,013 times, Rained a to
tal of 19T» miles--an average for
his entire career of 6.4 yards per
carry. In 247 games he scored 2,
386 points. Playing at Illinois
at 170 pounds, Grange scored 31
touchdowns and gained 3,637 yards
in three years. Many believe
Grange's greatest game was his
game against Chicago in 1924
when, playing the entire 60 min- ,
utes, he scored all three touch
downs—the last one an 82 yard run
_gained 300 yards and completed
seven passes for 177 yards.
Ken Strong.
New York University 1926, 192.,
1928. Weighing 201 pounds,
Strong was so fast that he could
run the hundred in ten seconds flat.
At the peak of his college career
he could run the ends, smash over
center, pass, punt and, in 1928
alone, kicked 30 points after touch
down. In his final season of col
lege football he led the nation in
scoring, making 162 points out of
the 172 points N YU scored in that
season. Nearly 20 years later
Strong played his last game for the
professional New York Giants,
having scored 351 points—the all
time Giants* high to that time.

tht* eye of a needle than for a rich
an to enter the Kingdom of heav
en. This is not a condemnation of
wealth, but rather a warning that
a person concerned only with the
accumulation of things in this
world is putting something be
tween himself and God. It is sep
arating him from God, if he puts
po- sessions first.
So with any am- the seriousness
0f it may be measured by the ex
tent to which it separates the sin
ner from his God, from God’s will
for him.
But there lived a man once who
did nothing at any time which sep
arated him from the Father. His
will and God's will were at all
times one and the same. He was
the God-man, Jesus. Now because
He was always One with God, and
because He is our representative,
and because He died on a cross
and offered Himself for us, we ran

...but more farm telephones
Since the end of World War II, rural telephone
construction has surged ahead at a record-breaking
pace. Today over half a million rural phones are
served by Southern Bell, and new ones are going
in at the rate of 6,500 a month.
This record of rural progress is even more
amazing when you consider that the South's farm
population has actually decreased, largely due to
mechanized and more efficient farming methods.
But farmers need and use the telephone more
than ever before. That’s why providing them more
and better service is one of our most important jobs.
