Joseph's Place in Gocfr Plan.
Lesson for September 2: Genesis
59:20-23; 41:14-16, 41-43.
Memory Selection: / Corinthian*
3:9. "
One of die most remarkable men
•f history, Joseph, sold into sla-.
very by his brothers, falsely ac
cused and cast into prison, sum
moned to interpret the dream Of i
Pharaoh, was made the second rul
er in the kingdom and charged
with hoarding surplus grain during
the seven years of plenty.
That he was a man of great abil
ity, even of genius, a good admin
istrator, wise to plan and quick
and determined to carry out his
plan does not alter the fact that
God used him in a wondrous way
to care for His chosen people and
provide for them during four cen
turies.
Por Joseph, having exchanged
the chain of a slave for a chain of
gold about his neck as the emblem
of authority of prime minister of
Egypt, and a dungeon for a palace,
came into place and opportunity to
preserve his people, as we read in
the amazing record which follows
that of Joseph’s elevation to power.
Joseph was one spoiled and con
ceited child that made good—he
succeeded in spite of childhood van
ity. Let young people beware of
falling into error like that of the
youthful Joseph. Rather let them
think of his standing the test in
the day of adversity because of his
sturdy character and unfailing
faith. Joseph is a wholesome ex
ample in the strength of his char
acter, rather than in his great
success. Pew can by genius or
God's faVor attain unto great place.
But everyone can imitate Joseph's
unswerving loyalty to the best he
knows, and serve God in his own
place.

In Federal Service
For War Veterans And

cf persons leaving their positions
to return to private industry. This
program will result, in our judg
ment, in filling speedily these po
sitions with returning Veterans
and displaced federal workers,
i Whenever, in a given occupational
area, these two groups cannot fur
nish a sufficient number of per
sons to meet the demands of the
service, applications will be-solicit
ed from the general public.
“This program should not, how
ever, result in the raising of false
hopes in the minds of displaced
federal workers. Literally hun
dreds of thousands of federal em
ployees who have rendered out
standing service to their nation in
time of war cannot be placed in
other federal positions. One rea
son for this is that the Govern
ment of tomorrow is sure to be
considerably smaller than the
Government of today. Another
reason is that in the carrying out
of this program there must be,
and there will be, strict adherencs
to both the letter and the spirit
er, like all other employers, must
give first consideration to those
who were uprooted from their nor
mal pursuits and called upon to
defend the nation on the battle-
fronts of the world.”
Following are some additiona
interesting features of the Com
mission’s program —
(1). A Federal employee cannot
transfer from one Agency to an
other unless he presents an offi
cial notice of his actual or im
pending separation because of re
duction in force, an official no
tice of furlough, or an official re
lease granted by his agency or
the Civil Service Commission stat
ing that he is available for em
ployment elsewhere.
War transfer regulations are no
longer in effect. If, however, an
employee fails to obtain a release
from his present agency or from
the Commission, he cannot be
hired by another agency until af-
tur a lapse of 30 days. In deter
mining whether releases shall be
granted, The Commission will fol
low the policy of giving full con-
EARS!

Rising Production Forecast
As U. S. Lifts Wartime Bars
By AL JEDLICKA
While the government undertook an orderly removal of
wartime controls to speed up reconversion, an exhaustive
survey indicated that almost total employment would be
achieved in the first full year of postwar production under
the stimulus of pent-up demand.
Conducted by the Committee for Economic Develop
ment, headed by Paul Hoffman, president of the Studebaker
corporation, the study estimated^
that 53.500,000 people would be busy I
at arnrir ,*« iQdfi with 9 !Vin nnn in prevent speculators from cornering
at work in 1946, with 2.500.000 in
transit from one job to another or
otherwise unavoidably unemployed,
and 3,500,000 still in service.
Having been severely criticized
before V-J Day for a lag in the re
conversion program, the govern
ment worked fast to permit a
speedy return to civilian manufac
ture after the Japs quit, with em-
’ phasis on all-out production and
modified price stabilization to pre
vent runaway inflation.
Because of the need for many
establishments to clear war
material and machinery from
their plants, and then tool up
for normal production, any
where from 5,000,000 to 9,000,-
000 people were expected to
lose their jobs in the first six
months after V-J Day, with the
pendulum swinging the other
way again once the necessary
readjustments were made.
To assist in the all-out produc
tion of goods and services to meet
both domestic and overseas de
mands, Pres. Harry S. Truman an
nounced that the government would
assure support in making materials
available and provide effective job
placement for the unemployed.
Although controls were to be re
laxed over the more abundant ma
terials, the government planned to
retain its power of allocations over
scares supplies to break bottle
necks threatening productior* and
the market and raising prices. To
ease the situation in scarce mate
rials, an intensive production pro
gram will be launched.
In line with the government
declaration to .maintain price
control to check an inflation
threat, producers’ charges will
be kept within strict bounds,
with big manufacturers al
lowed only half of the prewar
profit margin and others per
mitted only the full prewar re
turn. Employers will be able to
raise wages only if they do not
- interfere with price ceilings,
though the War Labor board,
or an equivalent agency, will
be allowed to boost so-called
sub-standard incomes.
Whereas government’s big prob
lem in industry will be to hold
prices in check until increased pro
duction results in the automatic
balance of supply and demand.
Uncle Sam’s major farm task will
be to prevent a sudden drop in the
market in view of the third largest
crop on record and a possible re
stricted consumer volume.
Under terms of a bill passed in
1944, however, farmers were as
sured of government price support
at 90 per cent of parity (85 per cent
for peas) on major crops for a pe
riod of two years counted from the
next January 1 after the end of the
war. Under the congressional
measure, crops include cotton,
corn, wheat, rice, tobacco, peanuts,
hogs. eggs, chickens fthree pounds
or over), turkeys, milk, butter, dry
peas, dry edible beans, soybeans
and peanuts and flaxseed for oil,
potatoes and properly cured sweet
potatoes.
In predicting full employment dur
ing the first year of full civi. an
production, the Committee for Eco
nomic Development based its fig
ures on manufacturers’ estimates,
with projections for supporting
activities.
Under the CED’s survey, 13,-
500,090 people will be at work in
manufacturing, about one-third
over the prewar figure of 10,-
000,000. Representative of one
quarter of the prospective em
ployment, this total is larger
than the usual percentage of
factory workers in ratio to em
ployables in all fields, but be
cause of the tremendous pent-
up demand for goods, CED feels
the projection fairly accurate.
Prices being equal, CED esti
mates that the first year of full civ
ilian production will find output 42
per cent greater than in 1939.
Ranging from 76 per cent for
automobiles and auto equipment to
22 per cent for leather and leather
products, production increases for
the various industries were esti
mated as follows:

Likewise, employees in the field
service will be permitted to file

permitted to file applications for
not more than two fields of work
for field employment in the Fourth

(5) . Appointments made under
the war service regulations have
been designated as war service ap

to exceed the duration of the war
and six months. Since the termi
nation of the war has been ex
pressly defined to mean the legal
termination of the war as - pro
claimed by the President or by
joint resolution of the Congress,
rather than the cessation of hos
tilities, appointments in the Fed
eral Service will, for the time be
ing, continue to be designated as
war service appointments.

“For About Two Years I Suf
fered Tortures From Indi-
geslion,” States Cave City
Man. Tells Of Prompt Re
lief.
“For about two years I suffered
tortures from acid indigestion, but
thanks to Retonga I can now eat
anything on the table and I feel
fine again,” happily declares Mr.
Andy Jones, well known resident
of Cave City, Ky., and for many
years connected with Mammoth
Cave Company.
“I felt like my stomach was very
toxic and usually my food turned
sour in a short time after eating,”
continued Mr. Jones. “I would
have to use home remedies to get
| relief from the sham br^ting oains
from gas in my stomach. It felt
;weak and rundown, and I had no
i appetite and very little strength.
I suffered so badly from sluggish
elimination that I had to take
some kind of laxative almost ev
ery day. I was going down hill
all the time.
“Retonga was a real surprise to
LAil that distress from indi
gestion is relieved and I eat hear
tily, and I feel so much stronger
I am on the go every day. Reton
ga proved to be just what I need
ed; and when my wife feels a lit-
i tie fcolcw par 0 h-^p S of Re
tonga always gfees her relief. It’s
grand medicine.”
Retonga is intended to relieve
distress due to Vitamin B-l defi
ciency, constipation, insufficient
flow of digestive Iqices in the
stomach and loss of appetite. Ac-
rept no substitute. Retonga may
be obtained at Peoples Drug Store.
