■* » McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICR, SOUTH CAROLINA Thursday, April 5, 1945 The Church Speaks By E. BOOZER . “This is the victory that over- cometh the world, even our faith.” *■ . Dr. Leslie D. Weatherhead, pas tor of the great City Temple, con gregational church, London, has written a book amid the explosion of bombs and the havoc wrought by the seige of London, entitled, ^This Is The Victory.” As he wrote the book, his own house trembled with, the vibration caused by the firing of guns and the bursting of bombs. He seeks to lead his people in reconstructing their religious thinking for the terrific days through which they were passing. As the most essen tial thing in life, he proposes that the human heart can feel safe on ly in God. And from'his book, I ciuote the following: “Then comes the delicious sense of well-being which the New Testament calls blessedness, when, even though it is tare for us to rise to such heights, we do in our deepest be ing know that nothing matters hut God and our relationship with him, that no calamities that can happen to us can spoil that rela tionship nor take him from us. We may lose our possessions, our friends, our dearest, our lives. We may be stripped of every pro tection, everything which we claim; but nothing can take God from us, nor the sense that, pos sessing Him, and -possessed by ilim,\ we ‘need have nought be tides.’ Nothing, nothing, nothing can take us from his care, and in coat blessed security the soul can XviSt. No storms blow here, and no winds come. No angry waves of .affright; nothing can harm us anymore.” Ration Calendar For Week Of April 2,1945 PROCESSED POODS: Blue Stamps— C2, D2, E2, F2, G2, now valid, expire April 28, H2, J2, K2, L2, M2, now valid, expire June 2, N2, P2, Q2, R2, S2, now valid, expire June 30, T2, U2, V2, W2, X2, now valid, expire July 31.

H. Talbert said ;his week. Increased point values on pork cuts and pork products were lim ited to one or two points, Mr. Tal bert pointed out, explaining the pork supply for the April ration- ng period is about five per cent kss than that in March. At the same time, lard, shorten- Jng, salad* and cooking oils were increased from 4 points a pound to C, and margarine went up to 8 red points a pound. Point values on beef, veal and butter remained unchanged. In the processed foods group, blue point values were altered on very few items, with slight in- t .'eases for canned peas and as- I aragus, and corresponding de creases in point values of sweet «herries, plums and prunes, and tomato juice. All point value changes, it was explained by Mr. Talbert, are i made to secure more even distri bution of supplies on hand. If supplies are moving too rapidly, jpoint values are raised. If moving J.

New Food Stamps Valid— Five more bluo stamps and five more red stamps, each worth 10 points, were good beginning Sun day, April 1, OPA has announced, and will be good for a four-month period, ending July 31. The red stamps are K2 through P2, and blue stamps are T2 through K2. In announcing the new stamps, District Rationing Executive J. E. Parker urged all homemakers to write the expiration dates on the backs of the stamps for easy ref erence. He also urged ration book holders to destroy any unused stamps still remaining from those which became void after last Sat urday. lication AWI-95. Gasoline— We should not be too optimistic about gasoline rationing being re laxed after th.e war ends in Eu rope due to heavy military de mands in the Pacific theater, warned State OPA Director E. H. Talbert today. “According to the latest figures we have been able to obtain,- the invasion of Iwo Jima alone re quired enough fuel to fill a train pf tank cars—10,000 gallons each —238 miles long; enough gasoline co operate 30,730 automobiles for a full year; enough lubricating oil for one complete change in 466,- 000 automobiles,” Talbert pointed out. “The terrific cost in manpower and supplies required to invade this Jap stronghold gives some idea of the effect of total war on Meat Situation— national resources. , That opera Plans to ease the tight meat sup- ti 0 n alone took enough food to ply situation by channeling more feed the state of South Carolina live cattle and hogs through Fed- fcr 15 days Drains like these on erally inspected slaughter houses the nation’s supplies is the reason are now being considered, it has f 0r rationing, he declared, been announced by OPA’s District Director E.

AT FIRST SIGN OF A Is your soil suffering from acid in- digest ion? Alkalize it with limestone! It “sweet* ens” the land as it helps phosphates, nitrogen, potash and other nutrients to do their work of building up the soil. Improving the soil improves the qual ity of the food and feed it produces, according to the War Food Administra tion. Forage production, for example, was reported to have increased 57 per cent on a group of West Virginia farms from the application of limestone and triple superphosphate. At the same time, the protein content of the forage increased more than 40 percent. Bigger and better crops in 1945 call for making the most of available sup plies of limestone. Application of lime is one of the bet ter farm practices for which assistance is available under the agricultural con servation program administered by the Agricultural Adjustment Agency. >4 USE Cold Preparations as directed added. “Since federal law prohibU „ ,, shipment from one state to s Victory Gardening Guido er of meat tilat h asn >t beer.
