POSTAGE STAMP PLATFORM
President Roosevelt’s announcement that he would ac
cept re-nomination embodied his personal platform and re
quired exactly 71 words.
Senator Claude Pepper of Florida, a member of the
convention platform committee and who is. working for a
concise statement of Democratic party policy and philosophy
seems to express the viewpoint of many lUrasevelt followers
when he said:
’^If one administration can achieve what the Preiddent
said in 71 words, along with the things that are implied, such
as the protection of ci^l rights, that is as much as any admin
istration can hope to achieve and that’s as good a platform
as anybody can write.”
Mr. Roosevelt’s 71 word personal platform was as fol
lows:
“To win this war ^wholeheartedly, unequivocally and u
quickly as we can is our task of the first importance. To win
this war in such a way that there be no further world wars
in the foreseeable future is our second objective. To provide
occupations, and to provide'a decent standard of living for
our men in the armed forces after the war. and for all
Americans, are the final objectives.”
DO YOU REMEMBER?
This article is addressed to those over forty—^to those
who remember the last war.
1 realized when I went to church early on the morning
of D-Day how many there are who remember. My fellow
worshippers were all of my own age. 1 felt a close kinship
with them because of the reminiscent look ^ their faces.
They, too, were remembering, remembering the cost of
war in human lives. The South Pacific—Africa—these are
but places on the map to those of us who still think in terms
of distances. But the battlefields of France are within our
ken. The names of the towns in today’s papers are like sta
tions on our way home. This we~are going through Is no
new thing. It is something we know and remember.
“I have a rendezvous with Death.” We remember that
cry of youth. We remember the long, black bordered casuaU
ty lists that meant the double death of those who went West
and to grieving hearts at home.
France will always be part of America because of the
dead that lie in French soil—soil hallowed anew by the bodies
of those who were or should have been their sons.
“It’s a long way to Tipperary.” The way to the Tip
perary of men’s dreams of home is still long and for far too
many that way will never open again.
“While poppies grow in Flanders Fields . . .” Can we
forget? Alas!—we did forget. We did not pick up the torch.
We let the things they died for be tossed around. We undid
their work by our bickering. We listened to subversive enemy
inspired propaganda. We allowed ourselves to be divided
into groups. We ignored the fact that they died as Ameri
cans and we tried to sort thehr families and their ehUdren t)y
)f|iLi|K>i and background. As one of our newer poets, Leola
Harris, said in the New York Sun on MeMorial Day:
“With busy tongue, with poison pen,
% WiUi malice toward our fellow men.
We break the bonds you fought to forge.”
- Do we remember? How could we have forgotten the
promises we made of a free world—a world made safe for
democracy. Shall we again' betray the past? Or will we
make of our memories a blazing torch to destroy with its
Uames the evil doer and to light the way to peace and happi
ness for all the people of all the earth?
Will we remember?—By Ruth Taylor.

Man power ia said to be the secret
of victoiT. Our natioo ia concerned
about the shortage of man power in
critical manufacturing centers. The
armed forces are calling for mora
and more men and women.
That wfll all make it a little
strange to study and teach the laa-
•on for today, for here is the story
of a crucial military campaign in
which the leader, Gideon, was Udd
by God to cut down his forces. This
happened again and again, until ha
had less than one per cent of his
original force, which was none too
large, humanly speaking.
What singular thing was going ooT
God was at work and Ha did not
want Israel to look to the arm of
flesh, but to Him.
Three questions are raised and
answered in this interesting story:
L Qaantity or QaaHtyr (7:4-7).
The Lord is looUng for man to do
Hta work, but He cannot use men
who are afraid or careless. This
was the lesson Gideon learned, and
It applies to our day as welL
?^en Gideon started out he had
32,000 men (Judg. 7:3). Not willing
that they should glory in their own
strength and knowing that many of
them were cowards at heart, the
Lord told Gideon to let those who
were afraid, go horns. When the
mob had left there were only 10,000
left
How sad it la that so many ara
‘Ttarful and afraid" (v. 3) when it
ooBMS to gofatg into battie-fM tho
Lord. They shig cheerily, “Stand
up, stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers
of the cross; let couraga rise with
danger," etc.; but when the bombs
of Satan begin to fall. Or the bugle
calls for an advanca into the
enemy’s territory, they have dis
appeared to places of comfort and
safety. What good are such sd-
dfrnJ,The I^rd told Gideon to sand
them home; perhaps the church
slMjtld do the same.

the field because while on a recent
visit to Sumter to attend a ball game,
Camden sport followers passed the
Sumter high school football field and
Observed that it was as attractive qs
a lawn In a park.
The attention of SupL J. Q. Rich
ards was called to the condition of
the bleachers and also the several
sectioDS of fence which have been
wrecked. Mr. Richards stated that
it was Impoeslble to secure any lum
ber to _replace_thft deatroyad sections
of the bleachers but that he would see
that end sections were removed to
secure material to repair the major
part of the bleacher section.
It ia. qoitAaiartato that work on the
playing field will be started in a week
or so, aa the football seasod la only
about two months away.

^Then came the second test wfal^
appears in our lesson. Those who
took the comfortable and easy way
to drink (v. 6), were not alert aiKl
ree'dy. Down wmit the number to
300; but these were men who were
ready to obey, who were alert and
courageous.
The church needs to learn that
large numbera art not tba answer
to her problema. God ia Interested
in numbers, be sure of that, but He
is more concerned about quality

(VT. 16-18).
Strange aa waa the plan for re
cruiting, the plan of battle waa even
more unuauaL Llghta, broken pitch
ers, and trumpet blasta are hardly
the accepted weapons of warfare,
nor does the method sound like mili
tary strategy.
This waa no time for questions,
for logical arguments, for the usual
organLmtion of war, for now God
waa about to work. He was ready to
show His power quite apart from
the ability of man, and He had «
right to work aa Ha would.
Wise and blessed is the church
which knows that there comes a
time when the thing to do is to put
plans aside and let the L(tfd work.
No.one will question the value of
organization and proper church
“machinery," but we need to ask
ourselves whether we have not be
come so organized that we impede
the work of God, '
Observe on the other hand fliat it
waa “the sword of the Lord and of
Gideon”—not Just the sword of the
Lord. God is ell-powerfuL We must
not hinder His glorious working. But
He works through men, do not forget
that! He used Gideon, and He

God’s power must sccomplish
God’s work, but that power flows
out to the world through yielded an^
obedient men.
Arthur Slade,, manager of the Court
Ion, who is managing the Ben Mere
Inn at Lake Snnapee, New Hamp
shire, this summer, has. announced
that the demand for rooms at the
Court Inn this summer has .made
necessary the postponing of the snm-
mer closing date indefialtely, *‘n fact”
said Mr. Slade in a letter to The
Chronicle, ”we may close only from
Sept. IS to October 16.”
Mr. Slade went on to state that it
would be necessary to close the
Court Ian for several weeks during
which time renovating will be carried
out throughout the building and on
the grounds.
Mr. Slade has received letters from
many prospective winter gnests for
the 1944-46 season. Practically all of
die gnests of the past several years
have made reservations for the com
ing winter season.
The Brooklyn baseball group, here
nezt month to cpnduct the baseball
school for boys at the local park have
reservations at the Court Inn.
Many boys who will be here for the
schooling program Bave also made In
quiry regarding reservations for that
period.
The New Hampshire hotel that Mr.
Slade is operating this summer is
finely located on an elevation over
looking the waters of Sunapee Har
bor. It is a large building with broad
piazsas and rooms with big open fire
places. The hotel has many pleasant
parlors, social balls, a big dining
room and a fascinating cocktail
lounge. All vegetables are from the
carefully cultivated gardens of the
Inn.
The Inn boasts of a well balanced
recreational program featuring tennis,
golf, bathing, canoeing, sailing, flsb
ing, all kinds of acqustlc sports, pool,
billards, shuffle bovd and table ten
nis.
Lake Snnapee Is ten miles long and
three miles wide and Is the highest
lake in the New England states, being

Thm anemv “ran and cried and
‘‘OPA’s suit for an Injunction
against Louis I. Oufcm, a dairyman
and milk distributor of Camden, doing
business as Camden Dairies, has been
settled,” the OPA announced Tues
day.
The aettleraent waa based on an
agreement by Mr. Guion to conform
to the OPA regulation fixing the price
of milk, and in compliance with this
agreemenL Mr. Onion has reduced
the price of his milk to the ceiling
price,
“The suit which haa bean pending
in the United States District Court
at Columbia began with OPA’s re
quest for a preliminary and perman-
ent injunction to req^e Mr. tluion
to conform with OPA regulations in
the purchase and sale of milk. The
preliminary Injunction was denied
and the question of whether or not
a permanent function should have
been issued had not been heard by
the court at the time of the settle-

flight the armies of the aliens" list

11:34).
Now, see what Gideon’s host was
doing while the enemy ran (v. 21).
“They stood every man in his

with them, no fear, no exciteinent.

eat Officer McMaans obliged with
the information and then chatted with
thfe girl ter several minutes before
contacting the Chronicle office with
a request for the Skipper.
Marguerite was bell-bent to get to
Ralei^. N. C., Just as soon as pos
sible for she bad less than |3.60 in her
pocketbook and would not reoelTo any
more cash from home until she reach
ed the North Carolina capitol. where
a remittance would be awaiting her.
Thinking to help the girl get by on;
the 13.60 an interested party offered
to pay for her dinner but the offer |
was declined and Marguerite ended np
by taking over a booth in the Roxy
cafe where she proceeded to "fill
up.” I
The girl rides an English. made'
bicycle and believe it Of not she;
negotiated the 82 miles between Co^j
lumbla and Camden in a little over!
two hours. She says she averages'
14 to 16 miles per hour. She told os
that the best time she has made so
far on her jaunt was 87 miles in 8
hoars and 60 minutes. She hopes to
complete her Portland to Portland
trip in SO days and if so, will have
spent jost three and a half montha
on the road. She plans to spend the
winter at Portland, Maine, writihf of
her trip from west to east via the
southern route and nezt summer -rill
return to her Oregon home via a
northern route. She will then com
plete her book which Is to have the
title "Two Wheels and a Dame.”
The Oregon misli, who looks mort
like 17 than 24, said that her trip'
over the 4,000 miles had so far been
pleasant although she admits to hav
ing encountered several unpleasant
experiences., She sleeps whenever
night catches'h^i and many times has
slept in a haystack or in a clump of
bushes by the roadside. In a fewi
instances she had difficulty in con-1
vtneing small town police that her
trip' was legitimate and In on^ In
stance she WBi haid as a Nasi spy.
Marguerite is far from being on-,
patriotic. As a matter of faq^ she haa
two brothers overseas. She herself
tried to get In the WACs but was
turned down becanse of a knee Injury
she siutained some years ago. This
Injury has not interfered in any way
with her riding her bicycle 4,000
miles.
Her trip so far has led her from
Portland. Oregon, down the west
coast by way of Pasadena, thence
through the southwest by way of
Banning, CaL, to Hobbs, New Mexico,
and thence through the Guadalupe
canyon out to the Texas plalna. Part
of this route so far waa through desert
like country. From NevT Mexico .ah«
headed for New Orleans and thenca
to Pensacola, Fla., thence to Jackson
ville, and up U. 8. No. 1, which she
will follow through to Portland.
Maine;
She has spurned many offexa of a
"lift” The only time she did not
ride while on her trip was at Mobile,
where she bad to have her bike taken
through the Bankhead tunnel on a
bus. Bicycle rUleni are not permitted
in the tonpel.
Marguerite is fire feet two Inches
la height and weighs about US lbs.
She worked In a bank for five years
and then went to college. But college
did not appeal to her aa she did not
feel she iras doing her bit for her
country. The% she went to work In a
shipyard as an electrician’s helper.
