Hold-the-line orders for a pound of a pair of stockings, or an automo- bile, r temporarily get public acclaim. But it isn’t long befo the public finds it can't get butter, stockings or automobiles when out-of-line prices block production. And it makes no difference whether the articles rationed or sold in a free market. What our regulators of human activi- ties should concentrate on is encouraging production and admitting that the abnor- mal costs of war have caused some infla- tion which can be controlled if the costs of government can be controlled and if the people will work hatd and: a Our regulators of human actiyé allow sufficient return to the and to the wage earner, baséd‘on our’ pr ent inflation due to: the national debt, so that both producers and workers will do their best to turn out goods, thsu remoying the scarcities which now aggravate infla-; thereby prices higher,..and higher.

We will have to make up our minds, however—we will either have to definitely express ourselves in fav- or of retaining our private enterprise and profit system, or we will have to accept government dictation and a falling stand- ard of living as a substitute for a free economy. One-sided controls which ignore government debt and spending and cost of production, while trying to restrict the individual, drive us closer to socialism.

The same spirit, though not quite so pronuonced, is evident in Tavernier. That village like Marathon, growing also, is, and both those places in a few years are | i likely to be the size of small cities. The dominant, or what should be the dominant, requisite in civic life is to regis- ter and to vote, for in that action lies the of democ has to do with a democracy stems, directly or indirectly, from voting. Without it we would not have a federal government or any of its subdivisions. It is the CORRES EETTETGS privilege of an American.

I wish we might be really friends!” Barbara shook her head. “There’s too much to keep us apart, I’m afraid.

The crowd filled the, house and spilled over onto the lighted lawn. Old Eugenia, seated in state near the double doors leading from drawing room to hallway, watched with alert black eyes, her wrinkled face alive with memories.

Then came the comparison of the human and spiritual births, each likened to “a tiny, helpless baby.” It was here this column summarized the | |portion following which quoted Scriptures to explain the question W. J. R. asked of “How can a man be born into God’s family?” To complete the letter: “How can he be born into God’s family? A well-educated man asked the Lord Jesus Christ these very words when He was here on earth. This is the answer from God’s Word, the Bible: ‘But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of, the flesh, nor of the will of Iman, but of God.’—John 1:12-13. er, Relicveth thi Pe a ranean bt Jgsus. odget John - ri believe ‘as: to |* ae I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according te the scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the in full at; The deleted part was| summarized in a brief paragraph| I rist? ‘For I de- yaad tt first’ of all that | ™miseryof the » 1946 | scriptures:'-—I Corinthians 15;3-4. ‘When He had by Himself purged jour sins, sat down on the right ‘hand of the Majesty on high.’— Hebrews 1:3. | “Where shall he believe?

R. will find time to forward said material for “Spirit- ual Food.” Scripture Quotation: Jesus said, “I am the living bread which came down from, heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the |world.”—John 6:51. | CHEST CoLps ‘Act promeciy, Me Liter io Mother, to rf clad relieve muscular soreness. or tightness, ved and irritation in uy Letras ret fits as cou ae S cliest and I = * STIMU a warming ften by:m0 morning faost af nat fhe ‘cold is gone!

HARD PEACE FOR NAZIS German industry is about convinced that the victorious Allies intend to enforce ‘hard peace for Germany.” This fol- lows the production of the four big powers fixing steel production in Germany at 5,800,000 tons a year. The figure agreed to is less than that produced by Germany in any year.between ‘1925 an@1939..It approximates produc- tion of! #982, when there was an interna- tional | industrial and business depression. It is fat from the 1938 neat of 23,241; aa tons. , Newspaper dispatches say Four had differences of opinion over the production limit to be set inside Germany. Soviet representatives wanted a limit of 3,000,000 tons while the British were will- ing to fix the limit at 10,500,000 tons. The final figure was arrived at with the three powers holding out for a higher limit and the Rusians arguing for a lower figure. t the Big | Sunrise Serenade News Sunrise Serenade Weather Report Sunrise Serenade News Sunrise Serenade Program Resume Musical Clock Hometown Frolic Southland Singing Rainbow House* Music Land of the Lost* Noon to 6 P.
