Lesson for September 16: Genesis
j, Memory Selection: Genesis 44:34.
I' Judah had not been an exemplary
man; many faults could be
ascribed to him, and there were
■dark passages in his record — not
the least among them was the
part he had taken in the sale of his
brother into slavery in Egypt. But,
a# ofttlmes happens, the leopard
can change his spots. The present
lesaofo tells how he made all the
atonement he could for the wrong
be had done.
In the effort to see his full broth*
«r, Benjamin, Joseph had charged
his brethren not to come again
Egypt unless they brought
imin with them. The brethren
finally induced Jacob to allow
Benjamin to accompany them on a
second visit.
They were received as honored
guests in the palace of Joseph,
aund they doubtless departed well
• satisfied — they were heavily laden
with grain and Benjamin was still
cafe among them. But they were
ebon overtaken by Joseph’s men
who charged them with the theft
cf their master’s treasured cup.
They protested their innocence and
dumbfounded and afraid when
cup was found in Benjamin’s
On their return with fear into
Joseph’s presence, Judah made a
moving plea, picturing the aged
gather in Canaan still mourning for
me son who “was not” and yearn-
r tog for the return of Benjamin.
Hetbld of the vow he had made his
father; then implored that he be
taken as a bondman in place of his
Jbrother. Thus did Judah offer him
self and unconsciously did he fore
shadow the Supreme Sacrifice that
ages later was lifted on the cios*.

Recruiting Program
For Officers And
Seamen For
Merchant Marine
Representatives of the Recruit
ment and Manning Organization
of the War Shipping Administra
tion. will be in Greenwood, S. C.,
on Friday, September 14, to inter
view and recruit experienced of
ficers and seamen for the biggest
merchant marine operation in his-
torv.
Millions of men and millions of
tons of supplies must be moved all
over the world as our fighting men
are brought home or are deployed
to the Pacific as occupation forces,
according to Craig S. Vincent, At
lantic Coast Representative, RMO,
WSA.
The War Shipping Adminstra-
tion has also issued a call for 6,-
000 cooks and bakers to man the
stewards department of almost 400
Liberty and Victory ships which
are being converted into troop car
riers to speed the return of Amer
ican soldiers.
P. D. Mazyck, Mangaer, of the U.
S. Employment Service, who is co
operating with the RMQ in this
campaign, stated that 34,000 addi
tional experienced officers and
seamen must come back to the
merchant marine in 1945 if our
military plans are to be carried out
on schedule.
“In the first half of 1945, only
one-third of this quota hbd been
met,” Mr. Mazyck said.
The more than 300 ships now
being converted into troop trans
ports formerly had galley facilities
for about 50 cfew members. After
conversion they will be feeding
from 350 to 1500 men each. This
means an increase in the number
of men in the stewards depart
ment from 15 to 45 men.
“The War Shipping Admihstra-
tion has undertaken two obliga
tions/! Mr. Vincent said. “First is
to return battle-weary soldiers as
quickly as possible, and second, to
return them in “furlough style’
which means providing them with
the most, appetizing meals possi-
bl£.' v To do this, the merchant
marine needs qualified men for
all departments of the ship, in
cluding licensed officers.
For Steward Department per
sonnel, according to Mr. Vincent,
experience at sea is desirable but
not necessary. Men with shore ex
pedience in hotels, restaurants,
bakeries, or as cook-bakers with |
military experience, will be ac
ceptable. Physical requirements !
are not strict, however, applicants;
must pass a physical examination.
Linwood Richardson, of the
Charleston office of RMO, will be
at the U. S. E. S. office in Green
wood on Friday, September 14,
between 9 a. m. and 5 p. m. to in
terview men who are ready to
serve their country at sea.

SAYS SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE:
Victory Used Fat
Savins Must Go On!
Every woman in America should know
that our country continues to face a
serious fat shortage. And victory over
Japan won’t solve the problem immedi
ately. We must keep on saving used
fats in our kitchens!
If you have any thought that
saving used fats is one of those
wartime chores we can drop,
now that Victory is here, please
consider these facts and tell
them to your neighbors.
America still needs
salvaged fats. Not even at
the peak of our war effort,
when fats were required for
mountains of shells and bombs
and medicines, in addition to
the ever-present need for soap,
were our needs for salvaging
fat greater than now. Our stocks
have been drained by four long
years of war, and there isn’t
enough on hand to meet all
requirements.
Don't let "Victory
psychology blind you
to this national need!
If housewives stop saving fats
now, the shortage will become
even more critical.
Don't let a single drop
of used fats go to waste!
Little trimmings of fat left on
plates, even the skimmings of
soups and gravies are important.
It. is the consistent saving of
these small amounts that counts.
Don't turn in fats that
can be re-used! But some
fats, such as those rendered from
lamb and mutton, are not suit
able for re-use. Put them im
mediately in the salvage can.
And, with other fats, after you’ve
got all cooking good out of them,
there is always a little left. No
matter how little it is, save it.
i Your butcher will still give
you 4c and 2 red points for every
pound you turn in. Save consis
tently — save every drop you
can — every day — until Uncle
Sam says the job is done.

WORLD WAR —
NATION’S BANKS GEARED FOR
POSTWAR LENDING
Funds Available to Meet |
Broad Needs of Borrowers
With total victory, 15,000 national and state banks
throughout the country are geared to meet the credit needs
of postwar America, Robert M. Hanes, chairman of the post
war small business credit commission of the American
Bankers’ association, declared.
Since money serves as the great^>———————4
transmission belt permitting the
flow of services and materials,
Hanes’ state -rt was not without
significance u postwar prosper
ity. Bdcked by two years of study
of the credit needs of the nation’s
economic machine, the banks’
peacetime lending apparatus was
oiled up for the inevitable return
to normalcy even while the war
raged.
‘‘Banking has produced a n^v
postwar credit product—the bank
credit group,” Hanes declared.
“There are now 40 such groups
with total resources in excess of
$600,000,000, whore operations ex
tend throughout every area of the
nalion. These credit gi*oups are
designed to provide a third source
of bank credit within the banking
structure itself, the local bank be
ing the first and its correspondent
the second.
“The individual banks them
selves, with deposits in excess of
$140,000,000,000, constitute the great
est reservoir of potential credit in
the history of banking. In addition
these banks are rapidly becoming
skilled in the uses of credit meth
ods that were developed in the
years just prior to the war. Many
of these were used primarily by
large business, such as term loans,
accounts receivable, and field ware
housing. Today, however, all
these useful credit methods are be
ing applied by the banks to the
needs of small business.
Backing up the local bank in
this postwar credit activity is
an active correspondent system
whereby loans are being made in
co-operation with the country banks
in cases where the country bank,
because of its size or for some
other reason, is unable to make the
loan itself. Too, many banks where
the volume of business warrants
are creating special facilities for
providing expert counsel and »spe-
cial service to small business.
Banking is determined that small
business shall live and shall be giv
en the opportunity to grow and
prosper.”
Banking’s program, according to
Hanes, will provide the means for
making available jobs to the veter
an and the war worker, and it will
speed the reconversion process of
business and industry and will per
mit many, enterprises, particular
ly the small ones, to swing rapidly
into peacetime production. He sees
through its operations the re-estab
lishment of many concerns blacked
out by wartime restrictions, priori
ties and manpower shortages.
“This constructive credit pro
gram,” HaneS declared, “will be
made available to the people of
America out of the. credit re
sources and/through the facilities of
the bank^Tof"the nation. It will be
done without placing any additional
burden upon the taxpayer through
the creation of government subsi
dized lending agencies or through
the operation of new and unneces
sary government bureaus for insur
ing, guaranteeing or . making
leans.”
Hanes’ assertion that the nation’s
banks were equipped to handle im
portant postwar financing was-cor
roborated by the U. S. treasury’s
announcement that assets of
over 5,000 national banks totalled
nearly $8&AQQJ)Qp,000 as of June 30.
The ftgure'repres6htet} a gain of al
most $11300,000,000 over the same
date in 19-i-Lv'
Of the $32,00(1,'000,000 : irt assets,
the treasury revealed, $77,000,300,-
000 were in deposits. Investments
in U. S. government obligations
soared to over $47,000,000,000 and
unimpaired capital stock stood at
over $1,500,000,000: surp’vs ahnost
$2,000,000,000; undivided profits
$500,000,000, and resemoes $531*000,-
000. <■ c.1 r,,;
Further indication of the nation's
banks’ strength was furnished by
the Federal Deposit Insurance cor
poration, which stated that no in
sured institution went into receiv
ership since May of 1944.
Income of the FDIC itself to
talled $61,000,000 for the first six
months of 1945, from premiums and
earnings of surplus funds. With ex
penses and deposit losses amount
ing to only $2,000,000, the FDIC was
able to shift $59,000,000 over to
mounting reserves.
