THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. Good Shoe Shine An old toothbrush, an old hand brush and an old cup should be fart of the shoe cleaning equipment, especially if there are children in the house. When shoes become caked with mud, use the handbrush to remove the major portion of the dirt, thus saving the shoe brush for polishing. Dip the old toothbrush Into a cupful of suds and go around the edges of sole and heel, which need special care on men’s and boys’ shoes. Then when the shining op Is done with polish, you’ll have a professional looking job. Messina Quake One of the most disastrous earth quakes ever recorded totally de stroyed the beautiful Sicilian city of Messina when it struck early in the morning of December 28, 1908. About 84,000 lives were lost at Mes sina itself, where damage was chief ly the result of the shock and fires which broke out afterward. Ex tensive damage was also inflicted elsewhere along the Messina Straits by the seismic wave which followed. Water Buffaloes Wanted UNRRA has requested 100,000 wild water buffaloes from Australia. The animals are needed to replace the water buffaloes destroyed by the Japanese in the Philippines. Destruc tion of the beasts has curtailed food production both in the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies. To meet 1h« request, Australia looks to north ern and western Australia, where aerial surveys have revealed great herds. Skin Peaches Peeling canning peaches wastes time and the fruit. Instead, try this simple way of removing the skins. Place about 10 or 12 peaches in a wire basket and plunge the basket into boiling water for a half minute or until the skins are loosened. Re- m^ve the basket and set it in a pan c. cold water; then simply slip the skins off the peaches with your fin gers. Shower Curtains All types of shower curtains should be spread out to dry. Water- repellent fabrics may be cleaned by sponging or brushing gently with thick soapsuds. Rinse in clear luke warm water and press, protected by a cloth, with a warm, not hot iron, while damp. Transparent and coat ed materials should not be ironed at all. Gold Rush Trails After the summer of 1849, it wai said that the trails across the west ern deserts were easily followed, marked by discarded dry bones of animals, newly marked graves and other signs of the gold rush trails. Prevents Coal Rattle To avoid the rattle of coal in a furnace or fireplace, fill a few large paper bags with coal and lay them on the fire as needed. As the bag bums the coal falls gently into place with no noise. Grapefruit Halves To nake grapefruit halves sit flat, without wobbling, remove button from stem end with a pointed knife. Press down each end of fruit on table surface with palm of hand to flatten ends. CHIID’S Colds Most young mothers use this modem way to relieve miseries of children's colas.

INDIANA COUNTRY EDITOR BUILT CHEMURGIC TRADE THE LAST TIME I VISITED with Wheeler McMillen, something over a year ago, he was wearing, as he expressed it, skim milk clothes. That included his hat and an attrac tive tie. His garb of that day represented, at least partially, the realization of his ambition. As a boy, on Ohio and Indiana farms, he worried about the waste of farm products. On his own Indiana farm he saw much the farm produced unutilized. The com stalks, the grain straw, the skim milk and other things brought no financial re turn. As the editor of an Indiana country newspaper, he continued to think and write about those farm wastes. Later, as the editor of a farm publication of national circu lation, he solicited aid in finding a solution for the farm waste problem, and along with that, a use in indus try of farm products that would in crease the farmer’s market. The result was the Chemurgic council, of which Henry Ford has been an enthusiastic backer. Un der Wheeler McMillen’a guid ance that organization has found many industrial uses for farm products, including farm wastes. Some of these are still, more or less, in the experimental stage, though their practicability has been demonstrated. Many others have pa'i-sed the experimental stage, and are in daily nse in * the production of commodities, they form the basis of many plastics, in fact, make such plastics possible. What were but a few years ago farm wastes, to day are used in the production of antomobile upholstering ma terial. The industrial use of soy beans have made of that plant a major farm crop in the United States. The days of throwing away the corn stalks, the straw, the skim milk and other farm wastes are about over. No other one man Is so much responsible for this revolution in farm markets, respresenting In creased farm revenues, as Is Wheeler McMillen, editor of the Farm Journal. Wheeler McMillen Insists the great majority of American farmers do not want government hand-outs for 1 not producing; that they do want, and are entitled to, a profitable mar ket for what, and all, they do pro duce. To secure that market the products of the farm must be utilized for more than food pur poses. They must have a place in industry. He is a practical farmer of the “dirt” variety, and has ap plied his own farm needs to all the farms of the nation. The countless innovations in peacetime commodities, that will now be coming along, will utilize in their production, to a very consider able extent, the products of the farms, thanks, largely, to Wheeler McMillen. • • • Government Family Thrives On Milk of Patronage HOW THE GOVERNMENT family grows. A new bureau Is bom of an emergency. It grows and thrives on the milk of patronage, paid for by the tax payers money. The emer gency passes. The purpose for which the new bureau or department was bom ceases to exist As a bureau, it is abolished, but the patronage appointed individuals who were, during the emergency, feeding on tax payers milk are not deprived of their sustenance. They are but switched to another nipple. That is what happened in the case of OWI. Its thousands of American em ployees in foreign lands have been switched from the OWI nipple to that of the state department. It is but a repetition of the same methods that have marked the creation of that enormous institution we call government The expense goes on. The tax payer continues to pay. • • » A NEW YORK CITY friend, Edward Anthony, publisher of the Woman’s Home Companion, sent me a book of pictures of New York City. It is a photo graphic debunking of the glam our, romance, adventure and success to be found in a metro politan center. It is a book the boys and girls of rural America should see and consider. It would quickly demonstrate to them that a great city does not con stitute a success mecca. Those pictures Ic-pict the life of that three-fourths of New York that is either on the edges of, or in, the gutters. Seeing those pic tures would keep many a rural youth in the clean environment of the home town. • * • PRIVATE ENTERPRISE is prom ised a chance to provide the 60 mil lion jobs it is estimated will be needed. “But," says the political big wigs, “if private enterprise fails government will have to take over." With the rules and regulations pro vided to make it as hard as possible for private enterprise to succeed it would seem those making the rules are hoping government will take over. That would be very much in line with the wishes of a radical minority, who want a government planned economy. First Rubber Shipment Arrives The nation’s first shipment of rubber from the Pacific since Pearl Harbor, produced under the very noses of the Japanese in the Philip pines, recently arrived at San Francisco. Forty-two tons of the precious crude stock was shipped from the Pathfinder plantation of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company in Mindanao. Shown around the table are, left to right: Sec. Henry A. Wallace, Sec. Lewis B. Schwellenbach, William Green of the AFL, Eric A. John ston, president of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, Charles Symington, J. Paul Douglas, Robert L. Watt, Joyce O’Hara, Ray Smithurst, Ted Sil- vey, Ira Mosher and Philip Murray of the CIO, as they talk labor peace. When the former luxury liner Lnrline docked at San Francisco re cently, the cargo included 555 Australian war brides of American serv icemen and some 200 of their children. Hundreds of other war brides are awaiting transportation from Australia as well as from England, France, and other European countries. They will all be brought here soon. Only Lady Exerciser Marie Batzer, the only feminine exercise rider at Ho]!>~wood Park track, is shown with Wing and Wing before one of her regular morning workouts. Doolittle Gets Steak En route to Washington, General Doolittle arrived at San Francisco from Honolulu in a “war weary” B-29 and asked for a steak. Jimmy shows that he has not forgotten how to do away with this precious item of food. His future plans are un certain. ‘Gotta Sign Off Now’ “General Wainwright is a great guy. Gotta sign off now, the Japs are closing in. Notify my mother in Brooklyn. What wouldn’t I give for an ice cream soda.” This was the final message sent out of Corregidor by Sgt. Irving Strobing before the Japs entered. Above is an artist’s drawing of the Constellation’s interior, showing the seating accommodations for the passengers. This will be typical of the accommodations that will be found on most airliners in this country, as well as those covering arounJ-the-world routes. They will also be pro vided with kitchens and service rooms for comfoit of travelers. Henry Ford H, who was recently named president of the Ford Motor company, is pictured talking to his grandfather, who resigned from tha office. News Behin the/Ni Bv PaulMallon Rel ased by Western Newspaper Union. DECLARED OLD IDEAL WASHINGTON.—Although the full employment bill is being pushed through congress into law by a pre ponderant favor for it—and there is no objection to the basic hopefulness of its theory—no one seems to know what it means, or even where it came from. By great odds, it is the most uncertain and unclarified piece of legislation of my time here. I have been calling it a CIO bill because the CIO has cam paigned for it in the usual ex pensive and prepossessing man ner which obsenres ether back ing and monopolizes the publi city. But CIO planners did not write it. The numerous senators whose names are attached as co-authors will give you little satisfaction if you inquire where they got the notion of passing a law proclaiming the right to work which has always existed, legally, constitutionally and by cus tom. The original draft of their bill was probably composed, as nearly as I can ascertain, by the Farmers Union, farthest left of the three farm ers lobbies and often called the farmer branch of the CIO. But of all things the farmers need right now, a law declaring their right to work must run behind help short ages, equipment shortages, price fears and practically every other ex isting agricultural consideration. The Farmers Union people will say they got the idea out of a speech Mr. Roosevelt made in which he mentioned a lot of rights, including the right to work. But Mr. Roose velt did not say there ought to be a law, and before he mentioned the matter it had gotten into a resolu tion of an international labor office meeting in Philadelphia. Sir Wil liam Beveridge, whose vast social security hopes were swamped in the last election, was an ardent champion of legislation to declare the right to work. Yioing behind and beyond him, an investigation will bring you to the fact that such a right is declared in the Soviet Rus sian constitution. There it has some meaning because under a dictatorship fix ing salaries, controlling hours, renting homes and even cooking and charging for the workers’ meals, while restraining the worker from freedom, a law promising to share whatever work the government gives is a realistic right. But this is all far behind American ideals and rights which already go much further, promising among other things, freedom of work at one place or another and tb* right not to work. Even this would not be so perplex ing except that both sponsors and amenders of this right-to-work bill agree it carries no legal rights. Co author Thomas of Utah may not have been pinned down on that point yet, but Co-author Murray and Amender Taft, and all the o the is, j seem agreed no citizen could sue ! an employer or the government for a job or get out an injunction, or that a labor union could sue, or get the courts to make someone estab lish jobs or wages, hours or any thing. This, they all say, is just a declaration of policy by congress, no matter how it is worked. Its authors particularly deny that it is a trick to establish a legal basis for a whole new conception of law in which the unions or individual work ers could build up decisions through this new Supreme court to indict the government or employers and perhaps establish criminal penal ties. If it does not do this, then what does it do? Well, Us spon sors rather frankly indicate they look on it as a political propa ganda step, establishing a pol icy-peg upon which they can hang fnture legislative demands. Particularly they want big spending appropriations made in the fnture, and they will then say: “The policy of every man a job has been established so this appropriation mast be made to give him a job.” Or they can build up a demand that the Alu minum company be broken np for that reason, or that all black hair be made white because it would create jobs in the hair dyeing industry. This makes it seem unimportant because congress retain:, the right to appropriate or not appropriate regardless of this undefined declara tion of an unagreed policy. Frank ly, then I do not know what it means, except that everyone will ask for government funds. A decline in work-week is another provision. Plans to cut the govern ment work-week again from 40 (it was 48) to 30 have already been pro posed in bills. This keeps salaries where they were and prevents nor mal utilization of the talents, abili ties and aptitudes of the nation’s manpower. It does not increase pur chasing power or create more em ployment opportunities; it merely shares-the-work, less work for the nation as a whole, therefore less pro ductivity and less tax revenues to | sustain a high economy, needed for I full employment. Fires Costly Every day in the U. S. ther* are 1.800 fires. 28 deaths caused by fire in 1.000 homes. 130 stores. 100 factories. 7 churches. 7 schools and 3 hospitals. Airplanes Over Counter One of Chicago’s largest depart ment stores has agreed to open an “airplane department” and will of fer a popular, two-place model for sale from a conventional display room.
