PORTLAND, Ore.—President Tru-

crowds he has attracted, flew to San
Francisco Monday after declaring
that the “veterans of this war are go-

that jammed the sidewalks and the
ill veterans who hobbled from a hos-

It is a mistake for son to do his
work without being told. It will
cause mother to think he has been
into more meanness than usual.
Every town has citizens and char-
acteristics that make it different
from all other towns in the world.
For example, take Ranger—not
during the great oil rush but years
after- the boom had ended.
Ranger was the home of Rural
Murry, holder of the world’s record
for a mile on a motorcycle over a
dirt track; and of a mayor renowned
for his skill at barbecueing, especial-
ly the sauce, made by his own secret
formula; and of men who followed
the dogs in a wolf-hunt, not on
horseback but in an automobile, jolt-
ing across the rough and rugged ter-
rain of the ranch country.
Also Ranger was the home town of
Buster Mills, one of the all-time
gridiron greats of the University of
Oklahoma and the hero of an East-
West game in San Francisco, his
field goal being the only score of the
afternoon.
It was while at Oklahoma U. that
Mills performed a feat that

meet and a baseball game ■
progress simultaneously. Near the
end of the meet, the coach saw that
the Sooners could win if they could
place in the javelin throw—but he
had no javelin hurler. He hastened
to the nearby diamond and, while
Oklahoma was at bat, Mills went
over and, in baseball togs, tossed the
javelin far enough to win third
place, and the meet; then went'back
to the diamond and tripled with the
bases full to win the ball game!

jungle by Sandino’s men; and the
town also boasted of a fireworks ex-
pert. This latter prepared all the
elaborate pieces of pyrotechnics for
the Fourth of July celebrations in the
baseball park. But his greatest claim
to fame was what he did, almost!
Back a great many years ago, a
group of Navy planes was circling
the globe. When they had crossed
the United States, their history-mak-
ing flight would be over. It was
learned that they would pass over
Ranger, so the fireworks expert pre-
pared a salute. When an observer
came into his shop and yelled,
“They’re coming!” he ran out and
without even looking up, touched off
the charge. It exploded high in the
sky, so close to one of the planes that
it rocked in the blast. The pilot had
crossed oceans, deserts, swamps, and
then was almost wrecked over Ran-
ger!
And I’ll bet your town has inter-
esting people and has witnessed in-
teresting events, too.
Why is it each young man claims
1 that his girl is different from other
girls? What have other girls done to
make him feel this is high praise for
his wonderful Dulcinea? Is it pos-
sible that the girl herself misleads
him on this subject? Our young j
nephew is telling us about his girl l
right now. She is different from all
others. She doesn’t care to rim
around a lot. She just wants to make
a home and cook good meals for him,
and she doesn’t think she would ever
go to a beauty parlor or play bridge
or anything of that kind. She would
just remain right at home and plan
for his comfort and happiness. May-
be our nephew is right, but we doubt
it. We married a girl who was dif-
ferent and she turned out to be the
same, if not a little more extrava-
gant.
DALLAS. — Collector of Internal
Revenue W. A. Thomas credits pub-
licity with doing the trick.
Thomas was speaking
Treasury’s campaign to probe
black market profits.
When the idea was mentioned in
newspapers and on radio broadcasts,
the Dallas office of the collector re-
ceived nearly $50,000 additional tax
money in one week from amended

MT. CLEMENS, Mich. — When
William F. Carr was found dead, ap-
parently of a heart attack, at the
wheel of his automobile, police went
to the Roseville home where the fac-
tory worker, unmarried, lived alone.
Stacked in the rooms of the house,
Patrolman William Burke reported,.
were some 1,000 cases of canned
goods, sacks of sugar, a refrigerator
full of meat, cases of beer and ale
piled almost to the ceiling.
In the yard were two new
and three drums of gasoline.
The cases piled in every room con-
tained soap chips, soups, chocolate,
preserves, fruits.
would be as .beautiful and natural as
plaster dolls and yet as supple and
washable as rag dolls.
The immediate result was a play
doll'satisfactory both to herself and
her children. The eventual result,
was the M. J. Chase Company of
Pawtucket, manufacturers of Chase
hospital dolls, probably known to
nearly every nurse in the country.
Chase hospital dolls are used not
only in training courses in the United.
States, according to Mrs. Charles H.
Sheldon, one of the five Chase chil-
dren and present manager of the
company, but also they’re used in.
many European countries,* in China,.
India and Australia and, since the
present war started, in the Solomon.
Islands and New Guinea. Our armed,
forces have bought well over 200-
Chase dolls to help train Army and.
Navy medical corpsmen in hospital
technique.
But back to the story of Mrs. Chase
and the toy dolls: Mrs. Chase solved,
her problem by making the dolls of
stockinet stuffed with cotton batting,
and covered with four coats
paint specially developed by Mrs..
Chase and a Rhode Island paint,
manufacturer.
Hospital dolls came into the pic-
ture in 1911 when the instructor of
nurses at a Hartford, Conn., hospital
asked Mrs. Chase to build an adult-
sized doll which could be used to
teach student nurses how to bathe a
bed patient. Mrs. Chase complied..
and that was the origin of the Chase
hospital doll.
Today’s product is much fancier'
than the original doll. It can be used,
to demonstrate ear and nasal irriga-
tions, enemas, catheterization; its
joints bend naturally, and even hy-
podermic injections can be per-
formed on a special felt roll fitted on
its arms. In addition, dolls come in
four baby sizes — new-born, four-
months, one year and four years. A
fifth baby model, representing an in-
fant two months old, has been dis-
continued.
The dolls still are being made in a:
little building at the rear of the old
Chase home in Pawtucket, where
Mrs. Chase first set up shop. The
firm employs 11 persons. One wom-
an has worked there for 40 years,,
another came back two years ago to-
help out with war orders.
SAN ANTONIO. — A Normoyle
Army Air Field G. I. who’s worried
about his country has worked out a
way to solve its problems.
The G. I. proposes a national lot-
tery, operated by the Army. The
National War Debt could be paid off
by sale of tickets, he says.
The three daily soldier winners
would receive as prizes discharges
from the Army.
This, he says, would solve the de-
mobilization problem.

<ANSW-€R-€D BY TH-S
■ VOICE/PROPHECY
L INTERNATIONAL BIBLE BROADCASTER ,
Question—I want to be a child of
God, but how can. I?
Answer—Galatians 3:26:
are all the children of God by faith
in Christ Jesus.”
Q.—Do you think that wicked men
will actually be punished after this
life?
A.—Here is what we read in 2
Peter 2:9: “The Lord knoweth how to
deliver the godly out of temptations,
and to reserve the unjust unto the
day of judgment to be punished.”
Q.—How can I tell whether a spirit
is of God or riot?
A.—Use the Bible test found in
Isaiah 8:19,20: “And when they shall
say unto you, Seek unto them that
have familiar spirits, and unto wiz-
ards that peep, and that mutter:
should not a people seek unto their
God? for the living to the dead? To
the law and to the testimony: if they
speak not according to this word, it is
because there is no light in them.”
Also 2 John 7: “For many deceivers
aye entered into the world, who con-
fess not that Jesus Christ is come in
the flesh. This is a deceiver and an
antichrist.”
Q. — Is Paradise a place where
souls go on the way to heaven?
A.—Paradise is where God is. Rev-
elation 2:7: “He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches; To him that over-
cometh will I give to eat of the tree
of life, which is in the midst of the
paradise of God.” And Revelation
22:1,2: “And he shewed me- a pure
river of water of life, clear as crystal,
proceeding out of the throne of God
and of the Lamb. In the midst of the
street of it, and on either side of the
river, was there the tree of life,
which bare twelve manner of fruits,
and yielded her fruit every month:
and the leaves of the tree were for
the healing of the nations.”
Notice that the tree of life is in
Paradise and that it grows by the
river of life, which proceeds from the
throne of God. The throne of God is
in heaven. (Psalm 11:4.) Therefore,
Paradise and heaven must be the
same.
tion the veterans of this war are go-
ing to run this country. They fought
to save it; now they want to fight to
maintain it, and that is their duty.
The President, waving his gray hat
and standing in his open car now and
then to give crowds in the back a
better view, drove 25 miles between
the air base and the hospital in his
first formal parade.
At the hospital, he told his fellow-
veterans that he expected the outlook
for veterans to improve when Gen.
Omar N. Bradley becomes veterans’
administrator. “Nothing is too good
for them,” he said of wounded serv-
icemen.
Every man able to walk or manip-
ulate a wheelchair, with hospital at-
taches, was lined up outside the hos-
pital as the President arrived. Most
of the rest were peering from the
windows. President Truman walked
through the wards to chat briefly
with the others.

They’re Not Worth It!
An increase in wages or salary
usually comes as a result of one cf
several things — efficient service,
manpower shortage, or a strike. The
members of the Texas Legislature,
asking for a salary increase from
$600 per member to $3600 per mem-
ber per year, certainly cannot qual-
ify for the increase as a result of ef-
ficient service. For it was that
august body which so inefficiently
enacted a constitutional amendment
resolution that a special election
must be held in November 1946 only
a few days from the general election,
at a cost of $200,000, because the
resolution said the first Thursday in
November when even a school boy
knows that general elections are al-
ways held on the first Tuesday in
November. Then this same legisla-
tive body, trying in its groping fash-
ion to make a correction in the filing
dates for candidates for public office,
forgot all abount candidates for
United States senator and left that
part out, compelling the Governor to
veto the bill because it didn’t make
sense. If the voters grant the in-
crease in salary in the face of this
sort of record, then the voters ought
to be bored for the simples.
SAN FRANCISCO.—A 13-month-
old child was recovering Monday
from near-strangulation between the
slats of a Venetian blind.
The infant, George Klein Jr., son
of a service man now stationed in the
Pacific, was in a play pen in the
family’s living room, police reported
They said his 6-year-old cousin, Nor-
man Foge, ran into the kitchen cry-
ing:
“George is up and can’t get down.”
Mrs. Klein ran into the living
room and found her small son hang-
ing from the blind by his head. He
was unconscious, his face blue.
The mother took him to a hospital
Attendants said his condition was not
serious. How the child was pulled to
the top of the window was not
plained.
PAWTUCKET, R. I.—People never
can predict the impact a new idea
might have upon their lives.
An idea conceived in 1889 by the
wife of a Pawtucket doctor, for in-
stance, laid the groundwork for a
business of modest international
fame, vastly improved certain as-
pects of nurse training and has done
much to help win this war.
The woman was Mrs.
Jencks Chase, wife of Dr. Julian A.
Chase, both now dead. The mother
of five growing children, Mrs. Chase
wanted to give them toy dolls which
the high heavens, suddenly saw a
traveller down on earth with a mys-
terious little box, and he folded his
wings and plummeted down to satis-
fy his curiosity.
“What have you in your
box?” he asked the man.
“Worms,” replied the man.
“Are they for sale?” the lark in-
quired.
“Yes, and very cheap. The price is
only one feather.”
The lark looked at his feathers
and thought, “I have a million feath-
ers, most of them very small. One
will never be misled. Here is a
chance to get a good dinner with
very little effort.”
So he picked out a most inconspi-
cuous, and a very wee feather, pulled
it, and gave it to the man. True, it
hurt quite a bit, for he was not used
to pulling feathers, but the worm
was fat and the hurt was soon gone.
He found, too, that he could fly as
high and as far as ever.
The next day he saw the man
again, and once more he exchanged
a feather for a worm. Still he soared
the thin upper air, flying as expertly
as ever. A pretty soft way to get
one’s worms!
Well, you are ahead of us by now.
You know that the next day and the
next and the next he bought another
worm and lost another feather. You
know that each feather seemed to
hurt less and less. You know that
flying got more and more difficult,
until one day, after the loss of a par-
ticular primary feather, he found he
could not reach the azure blue; and
he was forced to seek his food in the
streets with the gutter sparrows. His
song, too, once glorious, was stilled,
for his chagrin at his fallen state was
more than he could bear. He had
nothing to sing about.
Thus, the speaker, concluded, do
unworthy habits possess, us. First,
painfully, then more easily, until at
last we find ourselves stripped of all
that causes us to soar and sing. Even
our. spirits are as earth-bound as our
bodies.—Philosopher.
By Ernest L. Tutt
Mrs. Joe Johnson called at the
Dallas office of the Social Security
Board because her neighbor had told
her she should. Her son, Joe Jr.,
who had been supporting his mother,
had died and the neighbor thought
Mrs. Johnson might be able to collect
survivors insurance under the Old-
Age and Survivors Insurance pro-
gram.
Mrs. Johnson told the claims clerk
that she was 64 years old, that she
had been wholly dependent on her
son, Joe, for support; that Joe had
worked for many years as manager
of the moving picture theatre in their
town, and had been paid $200 a
month. The claims clerk took 'Mrs.
Johnson’s claim, after she had made
sure that Joe was not survived by a
widow and that no children of Joe’s
were living.
The claims clerk told Mrs. Johnson
that she could not be paid a monthly
survivors insurance benefit until she
was 65, bdt that she would receive a
lump-sum of $226.80 immediately,
and that when she became 65 she
could file a claim for monthly bene-
fit and get $28.35 a month as long as
she should live.
Mrs. Johnson was very pleased.
She said Joe had left her some insur-
ance which would take care of her
for a while, and with the money she
would get from Joe’s Federal insur-
ance she would be able to get along
very well.
If Joe had been a farmer, his
mother would not have been paid
anything. The Social Security Board
has recommended that Congress
should amend the law so that farm
people can have this low-cost Feder-
al insurance protection.
Next week we shall tell you about
lump-sum payments to children.
