runted over the fact that
the 77th Congress apparent-

conclusion which succeeding
events have justified. Con-
gress has lifted the old
guidon boldly and made its
power felt and understood.
Within the last 30 days
this column has told of far-
seeing work directed by Sen-
ator George of Georgia and
Rep. May of Kentucky, both
concerned with postwar
plans for prosperity. Our
1944 resolution should be to
watch our good men and
back their suggestions, those
like the one made by Con-
gressman Dewey.

small bonds cost less, and
people who pay taxes this

matter of fact, I was disap-
pointed when bonds from
the Third War Loan appear-
ed in such ungainly size and
shape. If it is safe to print
a $100 bill 8x5 inches, surely
a $25 bond does not need to
be as big as a high school
diploma.
Chance For Economy
Congressman Charles S.
iDewey of Illinois, as long ago
as May, 1943, made it very
clear to everybody in Wash-
ington who attended his
words that literally millions
of dollars could be saved by
smaller bonds.

and Rep. Dewey won my es-
teem with one short talk, a
talk on government economy.
When Calvin Coolidge was
president, Mr. Dewey was
assistant secretary of the
‘treasury, charged with su-
pervising the Bureau of En-
graving and Printing, which
was a figurative headache to
all concerned. The routine
remedy recommended was to
spend $10,000,000 for addi-
tional printing equipment in
order to increase the plant's
oitput of paper money 50
per cent as demand seemed
to require, but Coolidge said

Eighteen mattresses on the
floor of the Episcopal parish
house at Abilene, Texas, are
occupied every Saturday

who are given hospitality in
parish homes on Sunday. As
they turn in Saturday night,
someone always thinks of
the fact that the parish 13
named ‘The Church of the
Heavenly Rest.”

“If more American homes
were cognizant of the leading
roles which Sunday schools,
young people’s meetings, and
similar groups have to our
youth, we would not now be
confronted with the rising
tide of juvenile delinquency,”
says Director J. Edgar Hoo-
ver of the FBI. “Homes
where the parents are work-
ing in partnership with God
and where the children are
given the benefit of proper
religious education can do

Eleven native chiefs in the
Belgian Congo have pro-
fessed conversion to Chris-
tianity recently, according to
the Rev. Edward I. Everett,
Methodist missionary super-
intendent in Jadotville, B. C.
“For a chief to become a
Christian is a great sacri-
fice,” says Dr. Everett. “A
chief has more than one wife.
If he becomes a Christian he
must give up his plural
wives. When other chiefs
come to visit him he is ex-
pected to serve them with a
native „ beer or wine. This
custom the church repudi-
ates. He must take down the

Jews:
We must see to
that the Jews have a square ’ - ***•**-*** - *
deal in the peace settlement;
we must set our faces as
C h r i stians against every
form of anti-Semetism wher-
ever it may appear and we
must do • something about
their evangelization. Ought
not our churches to consider
the question of the Christian
approach to the -Tews in this
country? The religious po-
sition of the Jewish people is
the acid-test of our faith.”
Despite the war conditions,
the churches of Sweden,
Denmark, and the Swedish-
speakang sections of Finland
observed in November the
3llth anniversary of the
death on the battlefield of
Leutzen of Sweden’s great
king, Gustavus Adolphus. It
■was Gustavus Adolphus who
led the Scandinavian armies
in the Thirty Years’ War and
established Lutheranism in
the north, while helping to
save the Protestant move-
ment in Germany. At the
anniversary, religious and
political speakers emphasized
that “the great king’s ideals
of justice and liberty are still
cherished.” '
,As a part of its work
among war prisoners in this
country, the National Lu-

Dear Mom:
I guess you are anxious to
hear from me. I am in India
now. It is nice it seems over
here, and we have a good
place to stay. Things are
cheap. They even have elec-
tric trains here. There are
plenty of oranges, bananas
and cocoanuts, and you can
get bananas for about 14c a
dozen. It is winter here, but
I already have a tan. The
nights are cool. By the road-
sides you can see plenty of
wild monkeys. I saw some
hunters with wild lions and
tigers that they were taking
to sell to a circus. Some of
the boys already have par-

Increasing need for milk and decreasing supplies

It can happen here, as in other countries, that
milk be made available only for small children,
mothers, invalids and others.

the declining production of dairy herds. Most impor-

More cottonseed meal for milk-making rations
can be secured in only one way—by growing more
cotton in 1944,
By producing more in 1944, cotton growers will
directly help the dairy business do its wartime job—
and directly help make more milk for American
children, civilians and members of the Armed Forces.
