' Juno 28pdtf New Taste Thrills With Peach Dishes Millons of families throughout the country are being treated to new taste thrills as a result of the cooperative educational campaign being conducted by the Peach Producing Industry and Food Trades Industry in cooperation with tho Surplus Marketing Administration. United States Department of Agriculture, in the interest of greater peach consumption by everyone. This was brought out'today In a statement made by Mr. R. E. Robb, State Representative for the Surplus Marketing Administration. He said, "Peaches have long been noted as food delicacy, United States Government reports show that peaches are Americas favorite fruit, In season. As a food peaches now take on new Importance. "As a result of this cooperative educational campaign, millions of Americans are learning for the first time the important health-giving qualities In peaches, and the dorens of new ways of serving the appetising fruit, fresh or cooked. Many families have received new peach reclpee for delicious peach Bhortcake. pies, cobblers, fresh home-made ice cream, peach and cantaloupe salad and dotens of other tasty dishes. "Peaches have been found to be excellent sources of Vitamin A, Vlte.min B., Vitamin C and Vitamin G <b2), are vital to good health, growth and vitality, maintenance of body vigor, protection of teeth and Improving complexion. It has been found, too," he adds, "that their low calorie content makes peaches an excellent food for reducing diets and the No. 1 aid for women desiring a "girlish" figure. Scientists say this is also due to the high fatburning qualities of the natural sugars founds In peaches."

The petition set forth that the Southern system maintained a Bupply of passenger equipment sufficient not only to take care of the normal volume of passenger traffic but a so "peak loads" on holidays and other special occasions, this equipment being 30 per cent In excess of normal demands, but that even this extra equipment could not meet defense demands. Faithful Servant For Many Years It has been a long time since James Garfield was assassinated. In fact, it has been a little more than 60 years. And in those days, the United States State Department had a battery of two wall telephones and a clerk named Sydney Yost Smith. It was Smith who took the call informing the State Department that the president had been shot. The telephones over which these calls came have long since been replaced." Hut not the clerk who took the call, he is still on the job rendering faithful service to the country. Yes. Public Servant Smith, now 83. Is still on the Jo holding a United States record for continuous government service. Congratulated by Secretary Hull for surviving his 60^ anniversary with the Department, Oldster Smith said he hoped to Btay till he died.

Photographic Process Restores Glossy Finish A glossy finish which was the pride of Persian craftsmanship 2,500 years ago was restored to a plaster cast of an ancient lion's head sculpture by a few minutes of photographic "developing" at the University of Chicago. Photography enthusiasts will be interested in the process used by H. P. Burtch of the Oriental institute. The institute collected a number of fragmentary stone scraps of lions' heads on one of its numerous expeditions. Pieced together, these fragments made it possible to form a magnificent snarling head in plaster. But the cast was a dull pale color instead of the shining black of the original. After some experimentation the photographic process was resorted to. The plaster cast was I treated with silver nitrate applied i with a brush. Then it was "exposed," like e photographic film, under a strong, even lignL It took two strong men to accomplish the "bathing" process. Application of developer with a brush was the final step in obtaining the result?a hard, i glossy black finish as striking as the stone Originally seen by the Persians 2V4 millennia ago. The Union Times is of the opinion that the war will be over soon. The struggle is so colossal, the cost to gigantic, the losses so staggering, the outlook so bleak and cheerless unless the warring nations soon go back to work?that is the basis for The Times" opinion, which is well-considered, and we trust correct. It will be a world as marred by ruin and destruction as followed the Deluge when the warring nations finally sign a truce, and their armies go marching home. Genlns may have been displayed in making preparations for this war, and carrying on the struggle; but far more genius will be necessary to put the world beck on Its feet?Chester Reporter. Ready or Not, Here I Come! 11.. I (Address by llo? Fulkersou, editorlul writer of Klwauls Magazine, delivered at the recent International Klwania convention In Atlanta). I have been asked by the program chairman to talk to you a few minutes on the subject of age, a subject on which I am rapidly becoming an autholrlty. Age Is a peculiar condition, not at all unpleasant If you are outfitted for it, but very uncomfortably If you are not. We all like to play games. We ai* like to show how Intelligent we are, how quick witted, what a keen sense of humor we have. We like to demonstrate our talents and abilities, mental and physical. Remember the fllrst game you learned to play? "Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, one hundred! READY OR NOT, HERE I COME." Hide and seek/ we called it. The children still play It. Age plays the same game with every one of us. Not a serious game, unless we want to make It so. It is I the game of seeking youth, and hiding age. Eternally comes the stentorian voice of Age Calling Ten, I twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, one hundred! READY OR NOT, HERE I COME!" God is good. No man ever grows I old. All his friends grow old, but for him, Time stands still. One day he I meets his old school friend. Bill Jones, whom he hasn't seen In ten I years. He is shocked. Bill's face Is I a road map of wrinkles. His checks have depressions in them where Bills! upper 'plate has allowed them to sag-1 His hair line has receded from his! brow like the shore line at low tide. His neck has wattles on It like the neck of a turkey, and there are money bags under his eyes. He sighs and I lies and tells Bill that he doesn't look a day older. He has no idea that his own face has shocked^ Bill as much as I Bill's face has shocked him, because! Bill, too, sighed and lied! Yes, God is good. No man ever! grows old. Only the people around | him grow old. But inexorably Age continues to call "?twenty, thirty, J forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, one hundred! READY OR I NOT, HERE I COME!" After the summer shower is over j and the sun comeB out again, every I leaf and blade of grass Is bespangled 1 with diamonds, and stretched across the blue Is a glorious rainbow with its prismatic glow of color. The child who has been penned up on the veranda by the rain, remembers that there is a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow, and starts off across J the meadow to find it. As he I trudges through the wet grass, the I rainbow recedes as he advances. In-I stead of getting closer, _the pot of I gold gets farther and farther away until finally It fades from the sky. Age is like that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The man of I thirty feels that his boss of forty 1 Bhould sit back and take it easy and give a young man like him a chance to assume his duties and his salary. I The man of forty feels that the old men of fifty who are ahead of him In the organization, should give way to! the young men of forty who have some pep and enthusiasm. The man I of fifty looks at the old men of sixty and wonders why the doddering old I idiots don't retire and let young men of fifty take over and run the organl-1 zatlon. The man of sixty feels that his associates of the same age I should get out and let a man like him, who certainly is young for his age, head up the organization and I try to make the young men under him realize that only a sturdy man of bis years and experience can keep the organization from running wild And I coming a cropper. j Yes, God is good. No man ever! grows old. Only the people around I him grow old. But Age still calls I "thirty, forty, fifty, sixty seventy,! eighty, ninety, one hundred! READY I OR NOT, HERE I COMEJ" Of course it isn't calling to him. He forgets I that the last banana on the bunch is I not the best. It is only the ripest! I Let's forget- these old men for a minute. Let's think about the happi-l est creature on earth?a small boy. Every small boy has certain treas-1 ures to him more precious than gold. I They are so dear to his heart that! he doesn't trust them to lock and key. I And he doesn't leave them lying I around the house for Mother to throw I away, or litte Sister to make monkey! business with. No sir! He carries J them right with him, where he knows they are safe! L Unless you have his absolute con-J fldence, you can try in vain to induce I him to show you his treasures. But I if you should take him by the heels, j upend him and shake him well, you would find them lying on the floor beneath him. A dozen marbles; a hank of good, strong string; s Jack knife sharpened to a razor edge; the unsavory remains of a toad that lost an argument with a ten ton truck; three stamps from Urltlsh 8. W. Africa, stuck together and almost undecipherable; and a wriggling. dollar-alaed mud turtle. These are hla treasures, He carries them to school, to vlay. and even to bed with him at night. Not your kind of treasures at all, but exactly the things It takes to make him happy' wherever he is. / What are your treasures T What are you carrying with you Into old Ls/co'nsole you and keep you hap* What are you carrying with you to make other people like you and want to be with you? What are you carrying Into age with you to make it unnecessary for your children and other young folks to make allowance fO?(>xby. ,gnd show you consideration? What is there about you that/ will make them want to be with you? Old age is like poverty, in that It is nothing if one Is ijxed for It. And how do we fix for It? Will money do It? Well, not money alone; a thousand times no! Even the nice shiny new coin fresh out of the mint says ["In God We Trust"?not In Money We Trsut! A lively interest in life, and a Joy in living, are not like a pound of pork chops or a package of prunes. They cannot be bought and carried home to enjoy at leisure. They are the result of an open mind and an open heart, and money has little to do with them. 8tocks and bonds are all very well in their way, but they weigh less these days than they ever have. "?Forty, fifty, sixty?" All right! I heard you the first time! Well,what can we save as treasures to take into old age with us? The real treasures of the small boy are the things he CM|pparry with him. The real treasures of a man are the things he can carry into old age with him, but he must carry them within himself! They are intangible things, but of greater value than bank accounts and vast estates. His first and greatest happiness can come from his love of people, his interest in them. The greater the number of his friends, the happier he is. A young man has thousands of acquaintances; hundreds of friends. He has classmates, fraternity brothers, business acquaintances, relatives by the dozen, hundred of neighbors. He knows everybody; everybody knows him. He Is interested in what happens to everybody, and everybody is interested in what happens to him. If he is a smart young man, he will take into old age with him 'that profound interest in, all his friends, neighbors and fraternity brothers. When you find a desperately unhappy old man, you find a man who is interested in nobody but himself. And that old man Is as likely to live In a mansion waited on by dozens of servants, as he Is to be living in the almshouse. The most important preparation for a happy old age Is keeping friendships Jh repair; keeping interested In what is happening in your own town and to the people in it. If this sounds like participation in Kiwanis activities, that is the way I mean it to sound! n "?fifty, sixty, seventy, eightyAre you here again? The only eternal youth Is the youth of the mind. Your body will grow old In spite of you, but an alert, curious, acquisitive mind stays eternally young and is an everlasting source of Joy, not only to the possessor but to evefy one who knows him. A man's real treasure house is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, and in nothing else is he poor. Furnish your memory more carefully than you furnish your safe deposit box, for you will enjoy It a lot longer, The more things a man knows about, knows how to do, the more interesting people will And him, and the more Interesting he will find himself. What are your hobbles? Golf? Fishing? They will give you a lot of fine memories, a lot of good stories, but they are kind of hard on creaky knees and elbows, wheezy bellows and an old pump. Music, clay modeling, painting, wood carving, gardening? You can carry these into old age with you because no matter, how poorly you do them, they have taught you a_ keen appreciation of the same things done by masters, and appreciation is a treasure not lightly to be disregarded. Faith, Faith is the priceless ingredient. Faith In God and in one's fellow men. Faith that good Is stronger than evil, and that right will triumph over wrong. Faith is the light shining in the long, dark night. It is the fire burning in the Jungle of uncertainty.
