THE RETURN FROM CAPTIVITY
•8 *
Lesson for November 17th.
Ezra 1:1-6.
Golden Text: Psalm. 126:3.
At the time of the captivity the
Hebrew people were located in
three centres. About 40,000 lived
by themselves as a Jewish colony in
the heart of Babylon. Many other
Jews found a refuge cn the bor
ders of friendly Egypt. But the
majority of the nation remained in
the fatherland, tilled the soil, of
fered sacrifices on the ruins of the
impressive altar which had stood
before the temple in Jerusalem, and
celebrated mournful fasts.
Now we must remember that the
victorious conquest of Babylonia by
King Cyrus, of Persia, did not re
sult in a general return of the Jews
from their bondage. Cyrus . en
couraged them to go back, but only
a little handful of the Jews in
Babylon actually made the long
journey to the familiar hills of
their beloved Judah to join those
whoT had not been compelled to
leayie the fatherland, and. the
.fugitives who had, returned from
their Egyptian residence. No at
tempt was made for 18 years to
rebuild tlje ruineck temple of the
capital city. , AJid when ' this
splendid work of reconstruction
.was finally begun It encountered
vehement opposition at the hands
cf the Palestinian Jews and their
neighbors, the Samaritans. It was
finished, however, in 516 B. C., un
der the inspiring leadership of
JIaggai and Zecharlah. ;
But it was not until the time of
‘Ezra and Nehemiah, 75 years later,
that the deliverance of the people
-was completed, and their life arid
.religion placed upon a stable basis.
Ezra had studied the Jewish Law
diligently while in exile, and gave
.it, in the restored commonwealth of
Judah, a sanctity and importance
Jt had never before possessed. He
read it indeed before the people,
who pledged. themselves to its
obedience. Nehemiah, the cup-
•bearer, is one of the most attrac
tive figures in the Bible. A gifted
man of action, with plenty of
patriotism and religious zeal, he
was able to render a service of
enormous value to his people's
cause.

R. C. CAMPAIGNS TO
PREVENT ACCIDENTS
Program Inaugurated in Local
Chapters to Cut Down Farm
and Home Accidents
The American Red Cross has launched
a nation-wide cariypalgn to eliminate
hazards in the hdrtie and on the farm
that now take an annual toll of nearly
35,000 lives, according to & recent state
ment by James L. Fieser. rlce chairman
in charge of domestic, operations.
“Every Red Cross chapter Is being
asked to play a part in this campaign,"
Mr. Fieser said. "Hazards in the vari
ous communities will be pointed out.
The children in our schools through
out the country will be given a list of
the home hazards and asked to enroll
parents or relatives in the fight against
them.” ,*
Nearly five million men, women, and
children were temporarily disabled in
the homes of AmeSdcd last year by ac
cidents, officials of the National Safety
Council have revealed. Most of the ac
cidents in which persons were killed
and injured could have been prevented,
according to this safety agency, this
Jact alone largely motivating the Red
Cross drive for accident elimination.
Active cooperation of social, civic,
educational, veterans’, and other groups
has been secured. Red Cross inspection
forms or home check lists will be dis
tributed to homes where there are no
children with the help of these or
ganizations.
Due to inaccessibility and lack of
compensation coverage, little or no
pioneering has been done, fn the field
of farm safety, the Red Ctom states.
However, more people were accidental
ly killed in agricultural pursuits last
ye$r than in any other occupation, mak
ing the need for safety education and
farm home inspection apparent.
Other agencies now active in the ac
cident-prevention field point to the fact
that, because of its nearly 13,005 chap
ters and branches, the Red Cross has
a unique opportunity to successfully
promote a project of this nature.
Home accidents injure many more
than do automobile accidents; they kllV
nearly as many, claiming an average
of about 80 lives daily. In terms of dol
lars and cents, for the practical minded? *
home accidents cost more than $1,000
per minute.
Accidents of all types are Public
Enemy No. 4. Only three diseases causer
as many deaths each year, heart disease,
cancer, and cerebral hemorrhage.
“The home is not the place of safety
it is commonly supposed to be," said
Mr. Fieser in commenting on the new
Red Cross service to the community.
“The Red Cross, as a part of its char
tered obligation to prevent death and
alleviate suffering, is conducting thie
humanitarian program to cut down the
mounting, toll of avoidable personal in
jury and death in the homes of the
country.”
The annual Red Cross roll call, run
ning from Armistice Day to Thanks
giving Day, is one of the means ol
backing such a campaign. All citizens
of the United States are offered the op
portunity to 3ei*«M assist In the work
of the orgamzaUot*. ■.

More than 187,000 certificates show
ing completion of first aid courses were
issued last year by the Red Cross. This
shows a gain of 56,000 certificates over
the previous year. Approximately 64,200
boys In C.C.C. camps throughout the
country passed first aid tests. Since the
Red Cross first entered the field of first
ai^l.teaehlng, being one of the first or
ganizations In the world to do so, al
most one million persons have been
trained in handling emergency treat
ment.
The annual report of the Red CrosE
further reveals that more than 327,000
copies of the Red Cross Aid Handbook
have been sold at home and abroad.
The Red Cross has assisted 54,305
veterans In clearing their cases through
the U. S. Veterans' Bureau this pas;
year.
Last year 3,837,941 persons became
members of the Red Cross. The annua
roll call takes place each year between
Armistice Day and Thanksgiving Day.
Junior Red Cress members increased
by 402,000 enrollments during the year
which has just passed. Junior members

The recently announced 1935
corn loan at the rate of 45 cents is
the latest of the commodity loans
to be announced. Experience
gained with this type of loan has
shown that they can be highly
helpful to farmers and to the coun
try as a whole. The commodity
loan program is closely tied in with
the adjustment programs. The
Commodity Credit Corporation
\rhich functions the loans, has
made it a policy to make loans on
ly on products for which produc
tion adjustment programs or mar
keting programs have been worked
out. ,

An indication that the consumer 1
would pay lower prices for pota
toes than he has averaged over a
period of years if prices were stab
ilized at a fair return to the grower
is contained in the results of stud
ies made public by the Agricultura’
Adjustment Administration. The
surveys included years of high, low
and average production since 1920
and the comparison showed that
the cost to the purchaser was less
in the normal years than the aver
age of the high and low seasons.

A further decrease in farm fore
closures was indicated November 2
by W. I. Myers, Farm Credit Ad
ministration Governor, who said
that during the year ended Sep
tember 30, 1935, less than one-
fourth as many farmers made
emergency appeals to the Washing
ton office to prevent foreclosures
as during the previous year. The
decrease was from 7.3 per thou
sand farms in 1933-34 to 1.8 per
thousand farms in the recent
period. ■' In the Middle and South

the figure was below 1.5 per thou

Fatten Turkeys. For
Thanksgiving Market
; * . . 5 f ■
CLEMSON, Nov. 9.—Farmers
with turkeys for sale should lose no
time in getting the birds finished
for the Thanksgiving market, for it
is important that the turkeys be
well finished before they are mar
keted, says P. H. Gooding, exten
sion poultryman. If they were
hatched early enough and have
been kept growing well all summer,
they will be in good flesh and fin
ish when the marketing^ason ar
rives.
Mr. Gooding suggests that a well
balanced mash to be kept before
the turkeys to get the maximum
growth of body and feathers
Feathers are largely protein an-
turkeys are not finished for the
market until feather growth is
completed.
“From now until the turkeys are
disposed of it will be wise”, the
Specialist advises, “to keep the
birds to be sold in an enclosure and
to feed them liberally on mash and
grain. The grain may consist of
yellow corn only and for the last
week or ten days before marketing,
com alone should be fed.
“If it is convenient to pen the
birds they may be fed a wet mash
for five or six days before market-
| ing, which will add several pounds
of weight. This mash may be
made by using 60 pounds of corn
meal and 40 pounds of wheat shorts
or whole ground wheat. It should
be fed as a slop and .moistened,
| preferably with milk, but water
imay be used. The mash should be
I fed five times daily and as much
'given as the birds will clean up in
120 minutes.” ■ ,
Chevrolet Knee-
Action For 1936
-v*
“Knee-action is here to- stay—
we haven’t considered for a mo
ment omitting it from Chevrolet
Master deluxe models for 1936.”
Thus did W. E. Holler, vice presi
dent and general sales manager of
Chevrolet Motor Company, em
phatically state that the company’s
new cars, , introduced Novem
ber 2, would offer individual front
wheel suspension in the line.
“Our 1936 models will offer the
same option ih springing; as the
1935 models; ! that is, the Master
deluxe cars will be available''with
either knee-action or bbnvetitiotiai
springs, and the Standard models
with conventional springs only,”
Mr. Holler declared.
“Chevrolet has made great
changes in its plant set-up for
manufacturing leaf springs, and
also has purchased much new
machinery for the making of leaf
springs. The reason is that we
needed these facilities because we
will introduce a greatly improved
design of leaf-spring suspension in
the 1936 Standard models. The
effect is to improve the ride, by
changing the layout and the de
sign of the leaf springs so that
they give more nearly equal front
and rear action.
“On the 1936 Master deluxe, the
Chevrolet type of all-enclosed knee-
action units will be retained unal
tered, except for minor changes in
assembly methods. Even if we
could obtain, with conventional
leaf-spring suspension, a ride as
soft and as smooth as knee-action
provides, we would not drop knee-
action because of its many other
advantages — especially shockless
steering, which contributes so
greatly to safety and to driving
ease. . .
“The Chevrolet type of knee-ac
tion has been a success from the
start. Today, more than 1,000,000
knee-act ion Chevrolets are in use,
and during the current year, more
than 96 per cent of purchasers of
the Master deluxe models chose
knee-action cars, gladly paying
more for them than the price for
the identical cars with ordinary
springs.”
