ITS BACK TO THE WALL
T iHE strategy of “divide and con-
. quer” does not fpply to military
maneuvers alone. It can be—and fre
quently is—attempted In political.
Ideological and religious struggles—
«*nd often with equal success.
Today Christianity A dghting her
second great war for survival. The
trst was that long; and seemingly
hopeless, ‘ struggle which started
diortly after' the Germanic hordes
overran all Europe in the fifth cen-
sury, and continued practically until
the crusades In the eleventh century.
One Christian group stood alone
against all the “heathen” world,
rhat was the only Christian group
at that time. It was the Roman
Catholic Churcrf. And today that
same' Church has taken up the
gauntlet thrown in the face of
Christianity by the anti-God—this
time Communism.
''
Now those who believe Com
munism to be some abstract evil
which couldn’t possibly affect
their lives, had better start
reading the pronouncements of
J. Edgar Hoover, and others who
know whereof they speak. They
. might oven study the recent
* blast of the A. F. of L. aimed '
at the C. L O.—and the chances,
‘ are they will realise what thin :
.. lee they and their children are
skating heedlessly aronnd on.
Communism Is a deadly danger
to ns aH, right at this veiT mo-
ad the Catholie Chnreh.
of Its myriad ramfflea-
tie ns and sonroes of Information
Is fully ‘iswarb of It.
The Roman Catholic population
of the world A about . 330 million;
. . the Protestant about 140—total not
i j far from fto million. Tbge$hpr this
\great massif humanity, made up
^ principal fly pf thelfiosi powerful and
Intelligent' peoples bn earth, can
hold the anti-Gods in check—IF
THEY WILL ONLY. RECOGNIZE
, THEIR DANGER., ,
The Roman Catholic Church and
Communism have declared,war upon
each other. At the moment Com-
munAm seems to be gainihg over its
antagonAt. But the Church A an
•id and experienced hand at thA
type of warfare; and she A fighting
an enemy of such low order that it
would seem Christianity must win
hut. .. •,
But just suppose It doesn’t!

was paid a salary of

Bob Feller tendance figures are
equal to 1946, ha should take In the

Feller won 28 games last year, and
lost 15. He did relief work in seven
others, for a total of 371 Innings.
Since 1938 he has been leading
American league pitchers in strike-
outs. Last season he fanned 348 bat
ters, bettering Rube Wadell’s mark
by five. Fifty years ago Cleveland
had a pitcher who did even better,
winning 29 games and losing 16. He
was Cy Young, whose 1897 contract
called for a salary of $2,000 and no
bonus.
Max Schmeiing, 42-year-old for
mer world’s heavyweight boxing
champion, has been cleared of Nasi
charges by a BritAh military court.
He can now engage in public bouts.
European sports writers doubt that
he will be able to overcome a knee

Ghester’s Big Take
In Cotton Contest
Chester, Feb. .1.—Chester coun
ty’s jump to a long lead in the
1946 state five-acre cotton contest
by taking five of the six prizes
possible for one county is attract
ing much interest both in the
county among farmers and other
citizens and beyond the bounds of
the county, according to County
Agent Tom A. Stallworth.
Chester’s cotton contest win
nings, it will be recalled, include
first state prize of $750, first up
per district prize of $200, second
upper district prize of $125; and
the two county prizes of $50 and
$25. That, in simple addition, is
$1150 in prize money.
J. Harvey Neeley’s first state
prize was won on production of
8275 pounds of lint on five acres,
3.3 bales per-acre, highest produc
tion on record.
W. M. Wooten’s first upper dis
trict prize was won on 5505
pounds of lint, 1101 pounds per
acre; and Joe Wylie’s second up
per district' prize was won on 5285
pounds of lint, or 1057 pounds per
acre.
To win first county prize over
eight other contestants, R. W.
Betts produced 4780 pounds, or
956 pounds of lint per acre; and
to win second county prize, R. A.
Oliphant produced 4745 pounds of
lint, or 949 pounds per acre.
The average production of the
five contest winners • in Chester
county is 1143.6 pounds per acre,
and that’s well over two bales per
here. * i .

Bad Teeth and Tonsils
May Cause Underweight
in Children
If a child does not Increase in
weight there A some reason for
it. Most of us would think, of
course, that he A not getting
enough food or enough rest and
sleep. Very often the cause of
hA underweight A infection. Bad
teeth or Infected tonsils can so
pull a youngster’s health down
that he An’t interested in food,
play or anything else. Bad teeth
should be treated or removed and
the tonsils should be watched
carefully because while useful up
to the age of 15 they should be
removed at any time if there are
repeated attacks of tonsillitis.

Potato Seed
Stock Essential
“The Food and Agriculture Or
ganization ia the world’s answer
to the atomic bomb.”—Sir John
Boyd Orr, director general, FAO.
Clcmson, Feb. 1.—“The founda
tion i for growing high-quality
sweet potatoes,' the kind that will
bring good money, is good seed,”
Hugh A. Bowers, assistant horti
culturist of the Clemson Extension
Service, said here today, remind
ing farmers* that ’ plans ‘ for the
1947 sweet potato crop should be
made now.
“It is very important that you
have good seed of the copper-col
ored Porto lUcan strain with good
interior orange or salmon flesh
color,” Mr. Bowers continued.
“Each county agent has been fur
nished a'list of growers having
good seed for sale. If you need
new seed, your county agent can
assist you in obtaining it.”
The demand for sweet potato
plants in the past has always been
greater than the supply. To help
meet this demand in 1947, hotbeds
•should be constructed now. E-
quipment for electrical hotbeds
seems to be more plentiful this
year. This equipment should be
secured immediately. The tile-
ype fluid-heated hotbed is still
giving good results. Equipment for
this type of bed is plentiful. An
Information leaflet on the con
struction of the iile-type and e-
'.ectric hotbeds can be obtained
from extension county agents.
Reminding growers that old beds
should be renewed now, Mr.
Bowers suggested that the upper
layer of soil should be removed
and replaced with sandy loam soil
in which sweet potatoes have not
been grown or which has not re
ceived drainage water from sweet
potato land. The leaflet on Sweet
Potato Hotbed Management gives
information on bed renewal. This
leaflet also can be obtained from
county agents.
