'T'HE momentous news of world
A import which is coming so fast
these days pushes into the back
ground the day-to-day happenings of
the routine opera
tion of our govern
ment here in Wash
ington. The fact,
however, is that
our governmental
agencies must con
tinue to function and
it is likely that with
in the next week or
10 days some top
flight news may be
expected to start
popping from the
department of commerce.
Former vice president Henry A.
Wallace, new secretary of com
merce, has been ominously quiet
since he took over from Jesse Jones.
Wallace thrives on action and it’s
not like him to remain quiet.
Clipped of his powers over the vast
Reconstruction Finance corporation,
the new commerce boss has been
quietly combing the multi-num
bered bureaus within his depart
ment with the assistance of a com
mittee of three outstanding experts,
in an effort to And out what makes
commerce tick and to draw up a
program on what the department
needs for revitalization ... re
juvenation along the Wallace ideas
of government cooperation with
business . . . with especial emphasis
on small business.
The rumpled-haired secretary oc
cupies a huge office, walnut paneled,
on the fifth floor of the two-block-
long and block-wide gray stone
building. It is a bee-hive of activ
ity. Musty, staid, slow-moving of
fices which line the maze of corri
dors are being given a thorough
going-over and house-cleaning. Wal
lace wants a department of com
merce which can be a real help, of
fer a stable program to business,
not just an information and re
search agency. He is attempting to
streamline the department for post
war action.
One of the first needs of small
business, he opines, in the post- ,
war era is a return to what he
calls character banking . . . that
is, loans on a man’s record and
ability, rather than on his col
lateral assets. He declares that,
increasingly since 1913, the
small banks of the nation have
been operating under bank ex
amining rules which make it im
possible for these small banks
to make this type of loan . . .
and he further believes that what
he terms as equity financing . . .
some modification of the govern
ment guaranteed loan plan of
the FHA, should be provided for
small business in this postwar
era.
Closest to Wallace’s heart, prob
ably, is his bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce.
“I am going to go all-out to get
the maximum of usage from what
ever powers may reside in the dif
ficult bureau of foreign and domes
tic commerce to foster and develop
trade here and abroad,” he said.
“I am going to use those powers to
the maximum to get an increased
foreign trade.” This means that Mr.
Wallace will have developed a pro
gram based on removal of tariff
barriers because he believes that
when this nation raised the tariffs
on our exports after World War
I, “that is when the world tailspin
really began with a vengeance.”
Wallace likely will revamp com
pletely the patent office which is
said to be a year and a half behind
in its work. Civil Aeronautics ad
ministration will play a decidedly
more important role under the Wal
lace regime. So important does
Wallace believe the air age will be
come after the war, he himself has
learned to fly. Ben Stern, blustery,
but efficient public relations di
rector of CAA, has apparently made
a good impression on Wallace and
may be stepped-up in the reorgani
zation.
Then May 1, Wallace took
over, lock, stock and barrel, the
huge job of surplus property dis
posal, some hundred billion dol
lars worth, from treasury pro
curement. This will throw him In
closer contact with business, and
he likely will make some
changes, probably setting up
state offices, instead of the 11
regional branches as operated
by treasury. Maritime commis
sion is another department
which looms important in post
war with our need for ship
bottoms.
Do not let the adverse publicity
received by Wallace as a so-called
“Idealist” and a “dreamer” fool
you. He firmly believes in free en
terprise for business. He says:
“The key to making this Ameri
can bill of rights a part of th«
American way of life is the
whole-hearted recognition by all om
people of the simple fact that in
America the future of the American
worker lies in the well-being oi
American private enterprise and
the future of American private en
terprise lies in the well-being of th«
American worker.”

THE END IN EUROPE
The war started by a screwball
with a screwball book and a screw
ball philosophy, fought under a
screwball emblem in a screwball
cause ended in a screwball manner.
The German surrender was like a
panic hour on an ant hill.
•
The goosestep became the gander-
gallop and the rabbit-gavotte. It was
the first surrender in military his
tory that resembled a slide for home
without touching second or third.
*
It was not so much an uncondi
tional surrender as an uncondition
al dive.
*
The Junkers became Tankers.
»
As you watched the Nazis give
up you were seeing one of the great
circus acts of all times: The attempt
of Superman to leap from a 10,000
foot platform into a row of empty
beer steins.
•
It was the first time our side ever
had to employ whirling dervishes to
keep track of events.
*
There was never a finish like this,
except the time the house flies feH
into the egg-beater.
*
What a spectacle! The army that
terrorized millions when it had the
upper hand became strictly an ag
gregation of safety-firsters. They
wanted but one new weapon: A
non-skid army shoe.
»
The Wehrmacht went to pieces
like a paper napkin in an electric
fan.
*
Its only question was, “May we
surrender with positively no wait
ing? Or must we phone and make a
reservation?”
»
It was not a surrender. It was just
a notice to us that we were to have
unwelcome guests for dinner.
*
There was no dignity, no color,
no manhood in the Nazi picture.
The books all called for field mar
shals drawing np impressively and
handing over their swords, with ap
propriate words and music. Ail that
the Allied generals had to do was to
tag the marshals as they came into
the bag feet first.
For once there was no material for
great paintings. There is no appeal
in a picture of men turning into
mice.
• • •
A LAST WISH
Let me go out in the hills of my
boyhood. . . .
Amid the old fields and the home
steads. . . .
Breathing the air of my forefathers
Seeing the sun sink behind an old
mill. . . .
Let me cross the great divide
As a crossing of familiar pastures.
Let the last scent be that of mead
ows. . . .
The last sound that of a whippoor
will. . . .
For in the end, having all, I have
little. . . .
Nothing consuming me like the spell
of boyhood. . . .
The love of farm and fireside and
dear ones. . . .
Please God, let me go now as
through an old lane!
• • •
CAN YOU REMEMBER—
Away back when a man was considered
Well fixed if he had money?
And when a man would face without pro
test a prospect of doubling his income for
the year?
• • •
Noise Abatement Week has come
and gone, and we fail to notice any
permanent results. As we see it,
noise abatement applies to the fel
low who drives exclusively by elec
tric horn, the apartment house vo
calist, the stooge handclappers on
the radio programs and the pest
just back from a fishing trip who
wants to describe it to you.

WHAT!!
(“President Truman began cut-
ting the budget”—News Item).
Pile the praise—
And don’t begrudge it;
Someone somewhere’s
CUT a budget!
• • •
Bob Hannegan is becoming post
master general for $5,000 less a
year than he gets as head of the
Democratic national committee.
Yes, but think of the fun he will
have at letter-carriers’ outings.
• • •
Reconversion plans at Washing
ton, it is announced, put high on the
list of first things to be manufac
tured: ‘Fishing tackle, electric fans,
flashlights, hand instruments, pi
anos, cash registers and movie pic

Extend the Meat With Noodles and Gravy
(See Recipes Below)
Point-Easy Patterns
Some of our homemakers feel that
rationing has become so tight, it is
difficult to set a tasty dish before
the family. It’s true we are learn
ing to use a great variety of foods,
but all these can be made delicious
as well as pleasing as to appearance.
Humble meats like hamburger and
liver can be dressed attractively and
made to taste
like high-point
foods. Imagine
eating golden
brown, wafer-thin
pancakes, filled
with a well-sea
soned meat mix
ture. Good? Of
course, pass the
seconds, please.
You can stuff small slices of liver
with your favorite celery or onion
dressing and braise them in a sa
vory tomato sauce. There’s little
better.
If you have taken it a little bit
easy on the main course, you can
always go the limit with the des
serts. Cream pies are luscious
even though their whipped cream
toppings are missing. Frothy egg
whites are just as pretty and tasty.
Fresh vegetables and fruit plat
ters are ideal for adding color to
the table. Try a freshly cooked
snowy white cauliflower in the cen
ter of a platter and surround it with
slivered green beans and tomato
cups with golden corn kernel cen
ters. If it’s a fruit platter you’ve
set your cap for, then you’ll like
melon (preferably cantaloupe with
its center scooped out and filled with
a fruit gelatin salad, and garnished
on the platter with slices of pine
apple mounted with fresh berries or
grapes.
Hamburger Filled Potato Pancakes
(Serves 6 to 8)
1 pound hamburger
2 teaspoons salt
14 cup milk
2 tablespoons fine, dry bread
crumbs
2 tablespoons fat
4 cups grated raw potatoes
2 tablespoons grated onions
% teaspoon pepper
2 eggs, beaten
14 cup flour
2 tablespoons milk
Combine meat, 1 teaspoon salt,
milk and bread crumbs. Mix well
and shape into thin patties. Brown
in hot fat. Combine potatoes, re
maining salt, pepper, eggs, flour and
milk. Mix well. Remove meat from
frying pan. Add more fat. Place a
small amount of the potato mixture
into hot fat. Top with meat pattie.
Then cover with more potato mix
ture (potato mixture should form a
thin coating). Fry slowly until
brown. Turn and brown on other
side.
These Hamburger Filled Pan
cakes may be served with sauer
kraut. Place the kraut in the cen
ter of a platter and arrange pan
cakes in a border around it.
Lynn Says:
Meat Memos: Extend low-point
meats with breading, garnishing
and fillings to make them appe
tizing and point-saving.
Bacon can be dipped in beaten
egg and bread crumbs, then fried
and served as an appetizing meat
course.
Honeycomb or pocket tripe be
comes savory when given the egg
and bread crumb treatment.
Serve it with broiled bacon and
tomatoes for flavor contrast.
Ground lamb patties take on
flavor value when served with
grilled fresh pineapple and toma
to slices.
Small shoulder roasts will
stretch further when stuffed with
bread, celery, parsley or onion
dressing. Make plenty of rich
gravy for a fill-in feature.

Cheaply Constructed
Smoke House Useful
Building May Also Serve
For General Storage Use
Lesson for May 27

Council of Religious Education: used by

THE RETURNED EXILES AND
THEIR WORK
CEVERAL types of smoke houses
^ are proving satisfactory. The
kind of house to be selected will de
pend largely upon the volume of
meat to be smoked, as well as off
season use that may be made of
the house.
Where an “A” shaped smoke
house is used, the wall or sides
should be made of boards about 9
feet long, in order to keep the meat
about 5 feet away from the fire.
The sloping walls should be spread
7 feet at the bottom. The house 8
feet long is large enough for the
smoking of a large number of hogs,
as usually the Canadian bacons,
boneless butts and the bacons will
come out of the euro three or four
weeks before the hams are ready to
smoke.
Many use the barrel for smoking
meat. The smoke should enter the
barrel through a tunnel from a fire
as much as 5 or 6 feet from the
barrel.
For the other type of house illus
trated, almost any material may
be used for the walls. There should
be some small openings or cracks
at the top of the house. The house
walls should be at least 7 feet high.
Smoke Houses for Every Purpose.
The floor dimensions may be as
little as 4 by 6 feet.
Small one or two car garages have
been used satisfactorily for smoke
houses. The storm ceUar or storage
cellar may also be utilized.
It takes about 30 hours of continu
ous smoking to finish the job on
hams. A small fire can be started
every morning and allowed to die
down during the afternoon, or the
smoking can be done continuously.
King Tut Contributes
Pest Resistant Pea
At the Air Forces Tactical center,
Orlando, Fla., may be seen growing
a new specie of pea, "King Tut.”
The original seeds from which
these vines sprang were placed by
Egyptian priests in the tomb of
King Tutankhamen, 3,300 years ago.
When Howard Carter found the peas
in the royal tomb of King Tutank
hamen in 1922, he sent them to Eng
land. A few later found their way
to America, finally coming into
production at the AFTC in Florida.
The department of agriculture
pronounces them as a specie pre
viously unknown in this country, or
any place else so far as could be de
termined.
The remarkable thing about these
plants, whereas the usual worms,
lice and beetles continued to chew
up surrounding vegetation, they
spurned completely the Egyptian in
truders.
Arranging Ideal Barn
The ideal barn will be arranged
for “circular travel” to eliminate
dead-end trips and backtracking.
The doors and gates will be located
for convenience, not from habit.
Hay chutes will be provided so that
hay need not be carried more
than 15 feet. Easy access to milk
house will be provided. Work room
for all tools and equipment will
be provided. Proper and adequate
lights will be provided in stable and
LESSON TEXT—Nehemlah 8:l-4a, S. 6. t.
12; 9:1-3.
GOLDEN TEXT—Ye shall seek me, and
find me. when ye shall search for me with
all your heart.—Jeremiah 29:13.
God loves men and takes delight
in blessing them and prospering
them on their way. When He m»>st
punish them, it is a source of grief
to His Father-heart.
That fact probably explains why
the period of the captivity of the
Jewish people is passed over in
silence in the historical accounts
of the Bible. We do know that
prophets were sent to mini: ter to
them and to keep alive their hope
of restoration to their own land.
When the Jewish captives were
ready to return to their land, the
silence of sacred history is broken,
and we learn of their experiences
in rebuilding the temple and the
wall of Jerusalem from the books of
Ezra and Nehemiah.
Many and varied were the ob
stacles, but in due time they were
surmounted, and by God’s help the
work was accomplished. Now the
time had come for a spiritual re
vival, and God had His man and
H'S message ready for that hour.
Ezra, the scribe, was God's
servant in bringing the Word of God
to the people. The elements of suc
cess for any revival are found here.
I. An Open Book (8:1,2).
The Word of God is quick and
powerful and sharper than a two-
edged sword (Heb. 4:12). That
mighty weapon does not need any
apology or defense. It needs use.
The soldier in battle unsheaths his
sword or fires his gun. He does
not send pamphlets to his enemies
telling them what an effective weap
on he has—he uses it and gets re
sults.
There is a place for discussion and
instruction regarding the authen
ticity and dependability of the Bible,
but if we make it a substitute for
using the Word, we are on the
wrong track.
Era brought out the law of God
and opened it to all the people. That
is what we need to do today. Open
up God’s Word and let it do its
powerful work. /
II. An Attentive People (8:3, 4a,
5, 6).
The Word must be heard as well
as preached. Good listeners are as
important as good preachers. The
open ear and the open heart com
plete the ministry of the open Book.
Note the reverence of the people
(v. 5). When the Book was opened,
they stood up—a token of honor. We
do not worship the Bible, but we
should show far more reverence
toward it and its message than is
ordinarily the case. This is God’s
Word, and man should approach it
reverently.
Note the spirit of worship in
verse 6. Be sure that any people
coming to God’s Word in that spirit
will receive a blessing. We shall
see in a moment how wonderfully
God met them, but first we shall
note an additional reason for the
splendid response of the people.
We have before us the open book
and an attentive and reverent
people. What more is needed?
III. An Intelligent Ministry (8:8,
12).
There is nothing that any man
can add to God’s Word, but he can,
| by the grace of God and the illumi-
; nation of the Holy Spirit, be used in
opening up the meaning of the
Word.
That kind of an exposition of
Scripture is the very essence of
real preaching. Topical discussions
have their value. There is a place
for book reviews and the presenta
tion of social problems. But the pul-
1 pit should be primarily and always
the place where God’s Word is ex-
I pounded.
j Note that the law of God was
j read “distinctly” (v. 7). How im-
| portant! That calls for prepara-
' tion and prayer. That precludes
| the casual selection of a Scripture
j passage in the last minute before
service.
Then observe that “they gave the
sense, so that they understood the
reading” (v. 8). That takes more
preparation and much prayer. The
teacher or preacher needs illumi
nation so that the truth may be
clearly understood and presented.
Everything was now ready for:
IV. A Spiritual Response (8:12;
9:1-3).
Revival came—and what a re
vival! Tears and laughter mingled.
There was sorrow because of sin,
and joy because of God’s forgive
ness. There was both fasting and
feasting. God was in their midst,
working through His Word as it
was given out by His messengers.
It makes one downright hungry
to read an account like this, hungry
for a similar manifestation in our
day of spiritual deadness. God is
giving this kind of revival here
and there where people are ready
to go His way. The writer of these
notes has only recently been in such
revivals. Why not have them every
where in our land? Yes, in your
town or city?
