ROBERT H HARPER T Ch ist’s New Commandment. Lesson for December 12: Mark 12: 28-34; John 13:34, 35; 15:10- 14. Golden Text: John 13:34. Jesus had been questioned by Pharisees, fierodians and Saddu- cees—all trying to entangle' him and injure Jiim in his ministry— then it seems one scribe was so impressed by the way Jesus held his own that as a sincere seeker after the truth he came with the question as to the commandment which is “first of all.” And Jesus commended him for his spiritual discernment. In the discussion . with the aeribe the Master indicated that to love is the supreme command, and in the passages from John he called love “a new command ment.” It is new in its emphasis upon doing rather than upon not doing. True goodness comes in doing good—not merely in ab staining from doing wrong. The source and inspiration of love is Jesus, for he said: “Love one another; even as I have loved you.” And it is a distinguishing mark of Christians—by loving one another, said Jesus, shall all men know that we are his disciples. As Jesus commands men to love, it must be in their power to love, if they will, and with his help. And to love him, we must obey him. “If ye keep my command ments, ye shall abide in my love.” And to obey him is not menial— ft is serving a Friend. “Ye are my friends,” Jesus said, “if ye do the things which I command thee.” Then may we so love Jesus as our great Friend that we shall find only joy apd happiness in serving him by serving our fellows.

Wood Vital To Modem War, Says AAA Chairman ■Without production of sawlogs, pulpwood, veneer logs, and a variety of other products of the ferest, America’s fighting men could hold no hope of victory in a modem war, H. M. Freeland, chairman of the County AAA committee and head of the Mc Cormick ^County USDA War Board, declared this week. Mr. Ffeeeland has received ah increas- inp amount of material designed to call attention to the vital na ture of forest products which go into the manufacture of about 1£00 articles of equipment and sfcpply for the armed forces. He pointed out that one aver age 14 inch pine tree would fur- afch enough nitrocellulose to make smokeless powder for 35 shells for a 105 millimeter cannon •r 7,500 rounds of rifle ammuni tion. The same tree would pro vide enough pulp to make 113 weather-proof fibre containers for a soldier’s K-ration, 350 corru gated blood plasma containers, or 70 of the weather-proof con tainers used by the Red Cross to send packages to our prisoners In other countries. “Billions of board feet of lum ber”, he said, “are needed for war construction. It takes about a third of a million feet just to build the shipyard scaffolding for one average-sized ship. Mosquito bombers are made of plywood and the same material goes into FT boats, and other Navy craft.” Mr. Freeland voiced an appeal to the farmers of McCormick county to make use of the after- Jrarvest lull to produce sawlogs, pidpwood and other forest prod- ■ets for war. He urged, however, that they contact a forester a- SOUTH CAROLINA CHRISTMAS SEAL GIRL: Kay Ruth Mirnn, 10 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Munn of 1125 Lancaster street, Columbia, posed for the role of Christmas Seal girl in ibis living reproduction of the actual seal. Kay Ruth, talented child, is in the fourth grade at Fannie McCants school. Her father, a commer cial photographer, took a picture of the real seal, and by request, posed his daughter in its likeness and achieved a remarkable facsim ile to the original. Just as she is looking at Santa in the picture, Kay Ruth is looking for her fellow South Carolinians to buy Christmas seals and help stamp out tuberculosis. The seal campaign continues until Christmas. s ab ?hI hullabaloo By LYTLE HULL ‘KEEP THE POWDER DRY’ are figuring on farm machinery output and buy the other neces sary parts from other factories. Some factories buy parts from hundreds of others and have no If an^/ rf us getting ad the and trucks and automobiles we! facilities for making these parts want—or even need—just as soon themselves. (One of our enor- as the war is over—we had better! mous plants—now doing 100 per start a new set of figures. The way we like to think is—that we will lick Germany next spring or summer (1944) at the very latest, and that very soon thereafter the new machinery will come roll ing off the assembly lines. For the sake of the argument let us assume—and hope—that the summer of 1944 will see Ger many’s finish. If every factory in the United States started im- mediatey thereafter to reconvert to peacetime purposes, it would take six months, even in normal times, before their output would begin to become available—and for safety’s sake let us estimate another six months before our name is reached on the waiting list. But every factory won’t begin immediately to reconvert. For one reason, we will presumably still be fighting the Japanese, and, in addition to the vastly in creased quantities of material which we must send to the Pa cific fighting area, we will be shipping huge amounts of ma terial—and food—to the devasta ted portions of Europe and Rus sia, and to China for the Allied armies attacking the Japanese from the east. Next we must take into con sideration the fact that the rail roads are “wearing out”; and their load will not be materially lessened until the Japanese are beaten. The east-west shipments in fact will be multiplied to carry war materials from the east and central depots to’ the west coast for shipment to the en larged Allied operations in the Pacific. The west-east haul will be lightened. Most big manufacturing plants are also assembly plants. They make some of the parts for their cent war work—is buying parts from more than 20,000 smaller factories.) Before some products —automobiles, for instance—can leave the assembly lines, hundreds of “parts” factories, now con verted to the manufacture of war materials, must reconvert and get back into peacetime production. And where is all the raw material to supply these thousands of plants going to suddenly spring from? We will have to “start from scratch” and make up for several lost years. It can’t be done instantly. Miracles happen of course, and maybe some machinery will be available for the spring planting of 1945, and more for 1946 — de pending principally upon the course of the German campaign and upon the amount of material which will go into the Japanese campaign and to devasted Europe. AND provided the politicians will keep their hands off industry and their noses out of business; and provided the men who make the machinery are allowed by their czars to work; and provided the city folks get a little hungry and begin to realize that a farmer is a person who raises food and is therefore a necessary part of their comfort—and should be en couraged; and provided the farm ers themselves save some money with which to buy said machin ery. This is not a very encouraging prediction and we hope it is too pessimistic; but at the same time it is safer to keep our machinery out of the weather; to drive slowly and carefully; to save money for a long wait and for new machinery; to raise vege tables next summer and preserve them; and to pray for an early victory. bout prospective markets before cutting, and then to follow ap proved selective cutting practices in order that their woodlands might make the maximum con tribution to the war and yet be maintianed in good growing con dition for future years. He called especial atttention to the Timber Production War Proj ect. recently set up by the U. S. Forest Service at the request of the War Production Board with a view to increasing forest out put. The TPWP program, he said, may be utilize^ by farm woodland owners to find suitable markets for their timber.
