It would see that the same thing can be ac compllshed on the Wateree river and regardless of the final report of the Buckingham Landing dam, river tm provement benefits could be extended along the Wateree river as well as the Congaree. “If I understand the sltnatton cor- rertly you would have authority under the law and latest instructions to study the Buckinghm Landing dam to Include river improvements on the Wateree in the same report and I most respectfully request your con sideration for this Important matter,” Copies of Mr, Jeffries letter have gone to Senator B R.

RADAR iSpotted Eieny Targets throogh B Darkdest, Smoke or Fog I, . • The BwiI System— The largest source of Radar for our fighting forces HIS is not surprising for Radar development and production stems from the same roots that pro duced and continue to nourish this country’s telephone system. Radar, the instrument which enabled our land, sea and air forces to spot enemy targets through darkness, smoke or iogt was one of the outstanding new fighting instruments of the war. Two years'* before Pearl Harbor’ the Government asked Bell Telephone LAhoratories to put its wide «xperience and knowledge of electronics to work to help perfect Radar as a military instrument. From then on the Laboratories co-operated closely in the Radar program with the National Defense Research Commit tee, with Army and Navy specialists, and with scientists of Great Britain. The Western Electric Company, manufacturing branch of the Bell System, became the Nation’s largest supplier of Radar systems. One type it made was uni- verMlly used by B-^’s in the Pacific for navigation, target location and high altitude bombing. Another played an important part in aiming the gnns on onr wrarahipe. / 11 you’re waiting for a home telephone, it helps n little to know that Radar is one of the reasons. For years telephone inanufaclaring planu were devoted to vmr needs. so«Ti«N lEU TEumoNEMd TEueurH Commit iNcatrotATia IMPROVED QRM INTERNATIONAL S undaTT ^ CHOOL Lcsiion By HABOLD L. UJBpQtnST. D^.

CHAMBER QROUa 18 GETTING lORQANiZED Bns Service Is Started In City; Stops Are Marked [Coa^Bce from trst psgej _______ ATTRACnOig Conservation ot natural resources —that phrase has a modem touch to it, and yet we would do well to turn back to the story of Joseph in Egypt and learn anew the importance of not wasting what .we have.^if we are to be fed in the days of shortage. Certain it is that we should face at once the shameful record of waste in the manufacture and sale of intoxicants. This is temperance Sunday. Let us not fail to stress this truth. Joseph recognized the provision of God and made use of it for His glory and the good of the people. I. Food—God’s Provision (w. 46- 49). As men work with God in the cul tivation of the land they are apt to begin to think of themselves as producers, when they are actually only the servants of the Lord in the orderly care of that which He pro vides. We need to renew our sense of complete dependence up>on God lest we become proud of our own sup posed attainments and forget Him. Then He will have to withhold His bountiful hand imd we -shall stand with empty measures. .... Rememt^r, too, that what God has given to feed the nations cannot with impunity be used for the man»- facturc of intoxicating beveragea which are designed and used for no good purpose—only for ’ destruction. Let’s not forget that God oould tend us a famine, too! The manner in which Joseph cared for the gathering of the grain is worth noting. He did not sit in hla royal office and send out an edict. He went throughout the land build ing storehouses, seeing fiiat tha grain was properly conserved. We need more of that personal touch in government. Too much of life is controlled by “directives” and “rules” with too little of the touch of human kindness and a personal knowledge of the needs of the peo ple. ^ Observe also the vRldom of stor ing the food in the place where it was raised and where it would eventually be needed. No shipping and re-shipping, no undue centraliza tion, and no temptation to form a special “grain bureaucracy.” n. Family-God’s Gift (w. 50-92). From among the Gentiles, Josej;:^ took himself a bride. While it is not indicated, we have ^reason to as sume that she was a believer in the true Ood. One cannot Imagine a man of Joeej^’s chara^r and spir itual integrity marrying an uid>e> liaver. The sons which came into the home were recognized as God’s gift. Note how God was counted into the lift of these boys and ci fire home. We. spoke above about the naed of conserving -grain. Think now of tha infinitely more important con servation of boys and girls. I^e liquor interests have used thil war to Create a taste for beer on the part of millions of yoimg man and women, both in the armed serv ices and in our war plants. They have broken down the objections and the religious principles of many and we are almost at the point where one vdio objects is regarded as a foolish fanatic.

Now the time had come when God’s word to Joseph was proved to be true. When His loyal servant stood before the world as the one who was in touch with the infinite One, he had the food to give out because he had obeyed God’s com mand. It is in the crises of life that the things of God prove themselves. When, man’s hand drops in weak ness and despair, God stepa in and does the abundant thing; that is, if we are willing to recognize ffim. Thera it another’’senss in the oomiag of famine was God’s op portunity. for it gavt Him .tha ohancs He wanted to speak to man.
