IS m ihs WORLD or RELIC
BY UJ.UI.ReiD
“Our nation not only needs
armed forces and defense work-
ers, but it must also have trained
Christian leaders capable of re-
storing order in a wrecked
world,” says Dr. John O. Gross of
the Board of Education of the
Methodist Church, in a plea that
youth be made to understand
that preparing themselves for
leadership in the future nation is
a patriotic duty. “It would be un-
fortunate for the nation and
church if youth with high apti-
tudes for scholarship and spirit-
ual leadership cannot complete
plans to attend college. It is these
years of college that lay the
foundation for the later achieve-
ments in the arts, the humanities,
and the sciences.”
At Princeton Seminary, at
Western Seminary in Pittsburg,
at the Presbyterian Seminary in
Chicago, and within the synods
of Ohio, Illinois and Michigan,
the Presbyterian Church in the
U.S.A. is holding a series of stud-
ies on the Christian bases for a
peace that will be effective and
for postwar reconstruction. The
studies will be conducted under
the auspices of the denomina-
tion’s Department of Social Edu-
cation and Action of which the
Rev. Cameron P. Hall is chair-
man. It is planned later to take
such studies to the campuses of
Presbyterian colleges and univer-
sities throughout the country.

The following were named as
Associate Chairmen of the Gilles-
pie County U.S.O. Drive:
Nolan Brown, Elgin Crenwelge,

Donaldson, Haag, Kattner, Kirch-
ner, Leonhard, Lindenberg, Wolf.
These are the persons who, ac-
cording to our records, served in
the capacity of group chairmen
during the 1940 campaign.
The quota assessment for Gil-
lespie County is $1900.00; for
Blanco County $1100.00; Llano
County $1100.00. The quota's for
some of the other counties in the
Austin District are: Burnet
$1100.00; Hayes $1600.00, and San
Saba $1500.00.
Chairman Petsch stated that he
is making an effort to secure a
readjustment of these assess-
ments, but the probability is
these quotas will remain. For-
tunately, the Gillespie County
Committee will have an easy job
as sufficient has heretofore been
collected to meet even the large
assessment placed against our
county. However, a meeting has
been called for the purpose of dis-
cussing whether Gillespie County
quota is to be accepted and also
for the purpose of determining
wehther Gillespie County citizens
who did not contribute in the
1940 campaign are to be solicited
in this drive.

whose consciences do not permit
their participation in war,” Miss
Georgia Harkness, professor of
applied theology at Garrett Bibli-
cal Institute, Evanston, 111.—and
said to be the only woman teach-
ing theology in a graduate semin-
ary in the United States—has
written to President Roosevelt.
“The primary reason why church
women are impelled to make this
request,” says Dr. Harkness, “is
the supremacy of the Christian
conscience. Loyalty to God must
be placed before all earthly
claims, and without a recognition
of this fact there can be no true
freedom of worship.”

Texas Passes Peanut
Planting Goal
COLLEGE STATION, May 4.—
Texas farmers will plant even
more peanuts than the 1,056,000
acres they were asked to plant,
USDA war board reports from
the counties indicate.
Reports from 231 counties with
a total goal of 1,048,535 acres in-
dicate that 1,125,724 acres either
already have been planted or the
seed for planting has been pur-
chased, the Texas USDA War
Board announced. This acreage
exceeds the goal for these coun-
ties by 77,189 acres.
At the same time, the county
USDA war boards report a need
for nearly twice as many peanut
pickers as the 917 machines at
present available. B. F. Vance,
state board chairman, said the
board had been informed an am-
ple supply of pickers would be
made available, as the War Pro-
duction Board has authorized the
manufacture of 3,600 new pickers
to harvest this year’s record crop.
Complete reports from the 254
counties in the state in all prob-
ability will bring the total acre-
age near the 1,140,000 acre mark,
Vance declared, or approximately
80,000 acres in excess of the
state’s goal.
Catholic Information
THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
For Catholics, May is a month
of special devotion to Mary, the
mother of Jesus. They feel that
this devotion is eminently becom-
ing and proper. At the marriage
in Cana, Jesus said to His moth-
er: “What wouldst thou have me
do?” At her request He changed
water into wine to save the host
embarassment. On the cross he
said of her: “Behold thy mother.”
Catholics have always considered
Mary, not only as the mother of
Jesus which makes her deserving
of honor, but also as their mother
which makes her deserving of
their devoted love.
The folowing story shows the
Catholic attitude towards Mary.
On Dec. 7, 1941, Father John
Connelly was preaching the ser-
man at his post in Hawaii. The
bombs began to fall just as he
started Mass, attended by 400
soldiers and some of their offi-
cers. But none realized that so
suddenly, so swiftly, their coun-
try was a war. The topic of the
sermon was “The Right Way to
Die.” He did not then know, of
course, that many of his boys
According to the Rev. William
Paton, of London, Eng., secretary
of the World Council of Churches
and of the British Council of
Churches, now on a visit to the
United States, a group of “Chris-
tian fellowships” have been form-
ed in London between British
church leaders and refugees from
European countries now residing
in England. These include the
British-Russian Christian Fellow-
ship, and Anglo - Scandinavian,
Anglo-Norwegian, Anglo-French,
Anglo-Netherlands, and Anglo-
German Christian Fellowships;
and then there is a joint fellow-
ship including representatives of
all these groups. Dr. Patton says
these fellowships are contributing
much to international Christian
understanding and will have con-
siderable influence on post-war
peace and post-war church activ-
ities.
Recently the following testi-
monial was received by a patent
medicine concern: “For nine
years my wife was highly ner-
vous; no one could sleep in the
same bed with her. After taking
two boxes of your Never-Fail
Nerve Pills anybody can sleep
with her.”

BOOSTS GROWER-INCOME
Consumption of Texas Crop and

NORFOLK, Va., May 5.—Total
consumption of Texas peanuts
and cash returns to the state’s
66,431 farmer-producers of this
crop have been boosted in recent
years by economies in processing
and marketing peanut butter, a
leading buyer of farm produce
reported today.
More than 25 per cent of the
South’s commercial peanut crop
went into peanut butter last year,
and growers now receive a bigger
share of the consumer’s “peanut
butter dollar” than from any
other ready-to-eat processed food,
the report by B. D. Kellam of the
A & P Food Stores’ produce-buy-
ing affiliate declared. The report
said increased efficiency in dis-
tributing peanut butter was one
of the important factors in boost-
ing peanut growers’ income from
$21.55 an acre in 1930-1939 to
$39.95 last year.
The grower’s share of the re-
tail dollar for peanut butter in-
creased from an average of 32
cents during the 1935-1939 period
to 42 cents last season, while an-
nual consumption of Texas pea-
nuts increased from 84,433,000
pounds in 1930-1939 to 171,500,000
pounds in 1941,” Kellam pointed
out.
A further indication that more
efficient distribution brings in-
creased consumption and greater
returns to growers is provided
by A & P’s experience, Kellam
said. “During the past year, by
eliminating unnecessary handling
operations and costs, we were
able to return producers 50.2
cents of the retail for our brands
of peanut butter—8.2 cents above
the national average. At the same
time, increased public consump-
tion enabled the company to in-
crease purchases of peanuts for
butter 21 per cent in two years,
from 26,700,992 poqnds in the
1938-1939 season to 32,493,639
pounds in the 1940-41 season,”
he reported.
Kellam pointed out that grow-
ers get far more of the retail
dollar for peanut butter than they
get from sales of other processed
foods such as white bread, rolled
oats, wheat cereal, rye bread,

would die that very day — the
right way. He told them of a
group of doughboys in the last
war going into a dangerous sec-
tor and passing a wayside shrine
in France. It was a ’Pieta’, i.e. a
statue of the Blessed Mother with
the dead Saviour in her arms.
The boys whispered a prayer
as they passed. For some it was
their last prayer. The survivors
returned by the same route. The
pieta was still standing—but not
all of it was there. The image of
the Saviour had been shot away.
The arms of the Blessed Lady
were not empty, however, For
they held the body of a young
American soldier—blown into the
embrace of the Mother of God.
One of the doughboys said,
“That’s the right way to die—
right in the arms of the Blessed
Mother.” The other lads nodded.
“That’s the way to die,” said
Father Connolly the morning of
Dec. 7. The boys who heard that
soon went out on the line, some
of them to die for their country.

producers get a share of the re-
tail dollar ranging from 12 to 35
cents. Similarly, the farmer’s
share of the retail dollar on sales
of most canned goods range be-
tween 15 and 20 cents, he added.
“As a matter of fact, growers
get more out of the retail dollar
from sales of peanut butter than
from sales of some unprocessed
foods. For example, growers to-
day get only about 35 cents of
the retail dollar for fresh fruits
and vegetables moved to the con-
sumers through all trade chan-
nels, despite the fact that some
efficient distributors have stream-
lined fruit and vegetable market-
ing to the point where growers
get as high as 85 cents return on
some tonnage,” Kellam said.
He explained that the report
on “price spreads” in peanut but-
ter marketing was prepared to
help Texas peanut growers take
stock of their market resources
in planning the state’s 1942 Food-
for-Freedom goal of 1,056,000
acres, more than three times the
1941 planting.
He paid tribute to the peanut
shelling industry for the econ-
omies and efficiencies this indus-
try has developed in the past few
years as an aid to the more econ-
omical movement of peanuts
from growers to consumers.
