Surveys show that the average farm tractor will
last two efetra years if it is operated carefully and
lubricateo pro^e^ly. Moreover, it will do more
work with fewer breakdowns.
To help you get those extra years of good work
frpm your tractor, use Sinclair Pennsylvania or
•Opaline Motor Oil to save wear on the motor.
These famous oils lubricate better and last longer
because they are expertly refine<^from oldest, mel-

SINCLAIR FARM OILS
With The U. S. First Army In Bel
gium, Jan. 5—The first German sol
diers to be flushed into American
prisoner-of-war cages by our new at
tacks on the Nazi bulge inside Bel
gium give evidence that the propa
ganda effect of the early German
victories has worn off and that there
is a great deal of discussion, anjong
Hitler’s trops as to the reason. for
the German offensive, ..
SS troopers, whether'' -.they 'be»-
lieve it ornot, >< still - propound l the.
opinion that somehow or other
Germany will win the war*.';' How
ever, the average German infan
tryman, who two weeks ago exhib
ited an air of confidence and arro
gance, now is much changed .
The German soldier, of course,
knows no more about what is caled
the “big picture” than does the
American. It is signiifeant from
the viewpoint of morale, however,
that German prisoners are begin
ning to question the motives behind
the German offensive.
“It is a lot of foolishness,” one
German master sergeant told our in
terrogators yesterday while you
listened to the conversation. “It is
time that our military leaders rec
ognized that the power of the Allies
is too great.”
“American and Russia and Eng
land are too big,” another said. “It
is impossible for Germany to win,
and there are some of us who think
that this offensive is the last try,
and if it fails the war will end.”
The prisoners, several of them
wearing white winter clothing, were
being housed for the moment in a
yellow, stone barn behind a Belgian
farmhouse. Those not being ques
tioned were dividing their atten
tion between a Yank who was work
ing over the motor of a jeep in the
barn and the doughboys outside who
were throwing snowballs at one an
other.
Ope of the Germans is 35 years
old and had received basic train
ing instruction in the Luftwaffe for
nine years. Several months ago he
was transferred to the infantry,
and he said he thought the German
offensive here was an attempt to win
favorable peace terms.
“Some of us doubt,” he said,
“that our leaders really believed
they could destroy the American
armies. We think that they felt, in
stead, that if they, could score a
victory here, the Allies would agree
to an armistice.”
One of the interrogators said that
we were capturing an appreciable
number of former Luftwaffe men.
He said that the other German
prisoners refer to them as “Himm
ler’s donations.”
“It seems generally known,” he
said, “that Himmler and Goering
don’t get along together. The pris
oners think that to get even with
Goering. Himmler is drafting Luft
waffe men into the
“They also have a name,” he con
tinued, “for German soldiers with
foot trouble. They call them ‘Goeb-
bels’s donations,’ because Goebbels
has a club foot.”
An American stajf sergeant iAiif:
that a week ago the prisoners ^re
ported that the common opinion
among the Germam, forces was:
“Now the glorious <Mya are here
again.” He said that few prisoners
would talk, because {hoy faired
they would endan|^.r •omi
rades, and that they propounded tne'old corporal
old German thesis that comradeship ’felt that the
is the greatest thing in the world.
“Now they are exhibiting one of
their old tendencies,” he observed.
“Regular infantrymen complain ^lat
they want to be separated from
the SS ti-oopa because SS .mem

GREENVILLE POULTRY CO.
Columbia, Jan. 4—Gov. Ransome J.
Williams will underline his first
message to the legislature next
week an‘ almost ironclad promise of
“utmost coperation” with the state’s
lawmakers. 1 ' v
^Tfhe promise will not be new to
legislative ears, as it is one they
h%ve heard ' from governors for
years,’ but Williams has asserted in
advance that he not only will avoid
placing road blocks in the legisla
tive path, but he will make every
effort to remove any that may arise
from other sources.
The legislature will be confronted
with many controversal issues that
will wind up in the form of acts. In
the past there was always the
chance that .there compromise work,
arrived at after lengthy work, would
go for nought by a governor’s veto.
Williams says he intends to re
spect the will of the ligeslative ma
jority.
Precedent for his position of neu
trality was well established during
the tenures of the late Lt. Gov. J.
Emile Harley,- who like Williams suc
ceeded to the governorship when the
governor entered the U. S. Senate,
and of R. M. Jeffeies of Colleton,
now state senator, who succeeded
to -the chief magistrate’s chair on
Harley’s death.
Neither man was committed by
governor’s election campaign pro
mises. Williams asserts that he is
similarly free and unhindered.
Although ex-Gov. Olin D. Johns
ton trod a relatively smooth legisla
tive path during his past two years
as governor, he vetoed a marriage
control act into which had gone
more legislative time than was de
voted to any other single matter
during the 1943 legislature.
During his first term as governor,
1935-387 Johnston an,d the legisla
ture were often at.odds. The same
was true during U. S. Senator Bur
net R. Maybank’s almost three years
in office, 1989-41.
Williams insists there will be ho
“head butting during he next two
years.”
• (Continued from' page 1)
likely if is simply chaos. That, it
often seems to us, is probably one
reason Mr. Roosevelt’s strange at
traction to the Vatican. He has not
been persisting in this diplomatic
courtship ;n"tlie face of widespread
disapproval by the American people
simply because he feels that he
must find some factor of stability
to which to attach American post
war policy in Europe, and because
the Vatican seems to be about the
only -such stable factor short of
Russia? .Note that we say “seems.”
For this stability of the Vatican i?
far more apparent than real in a
Europe going Communist or chaotic
And no one knows that better than
the able diplomats in the Vatican.
So we approach the end of the
war. The dawn of victory? The
very words are chaiged with irony.
No; the war has not led us toward
dawn. It is leaving us a world
brutalized, a world torn apart, a
world full of new and strengthened
hatreds and suspicions, a world
from which faith has all but fled.
LIEUT. BANKS AND CAPT
JACOBSON MARRY IN ENGLAND
Lieut. Elizabeth Banks, daughter
of P. B. Banks and the late Mrs.
Banks of Newberry county, and
Capt. Morton A. Jacobson of New
York City, were married in Eng
land on October 31.
Lieutenant Banks Jacdbson has
been ' oij> duty overseas since Nov
ember 1943 ” as a member of the
136th General Hospital. She grad

HSfcpital. -in 1940, and volunteered

Does this picture of what the war!
is doing to the world carry with it
a counsel of despair? By no means.
A Christian, at least, can never
despair. That door is always and
forever closed to him, however dark
the prospect may seem to human
eyes. Instead, the shape (or shape
lessness) which the post-war world
is already assuming proclaims a
challenge to repentance and to faith. 1
The new world which men are now ,
called upon to build is the world i
that might have been, if only we (
had had the will. It is a great de-1
lusion and a falsehood to say that:
the war has given us a better op
portunity io build such a world. 1
The truth is that the war robbed us
of an opportunity to build such a
world. The truth is that the war
robbed us of an opportunity vastly
more promising than that we now i
confront, and- we irefuaed to accept
It. Who is there among us who
does not wish to God that we could
go back—say to the 1920s or even
to the early 1930s—and do ' it all
over agkin ? How- differently we
would act—in our diplomacy, our
domestic policies, our international
relations!
But we cannot go back. We must
face a future in which every prob
lem we then faced has been exacer
bated by what tjie war has done.
Courage , we must have, but a cour
age born of .Repentance. There is no
salvation for us unless we repent.
We sowed the wind before the war
and are reaping the whirlwind.
Have we learned our lesson? Is the
heart of mankind repentant? Ar»
our statesmen repentant ? Do they
humble themselves before God and
ask us to join them in a great re
solve to conform -our natiapal poli
cies an dour international dealings
more closely to the righteous will of
the God of nations, the Lord of his-
tory.Z,
We might expect to find signs of
repentance in the great design for
a world security organization. But
there is no note of humility or
chastening or contrition in the long
document. On the contrary, the
dominant note is that of self-right
eous power which allows four na
tions (really three) to arrogate to
themselves the right to maintain
order everywhere in the world—ex
cept aiflong themselves. And there
is little" sign of repentance among
the rfcflk a|#i file of the world’s peo
ples. Disillusioned once by the
shallow idealism which did duty for
repentance after the First World
war (and so concealed from our
conscience the need for repen
tance), we are ^easy/ prey to the
