The GROVE LABORATORIES, INC. ST. LOUIS 3, MISSOURI /Ackers of GROVE $ COLD TABLETS Latest move to speed up dis charges comes from the coast guard which has announced that after May 2 point scores will be dropped and all enlisted personnel will be eligible for release. In the meantime, as of Aprl 15, the point score was reduced from 30 to 28 for male enlisted person nel, except yeomen, storekeepers and pharmacist’s mates whose scores remained at 34. Points need ed for release of SPARs was re duced from 20 to 19 with the same groups excepted and requiring a score of 22. Reserve officers will be placed on inactive duty so that their terminal leave will have been completed by June 30. Since V-J Day, coast guard has released more than 11,700 men and 5,400 SPARs. It is possible that drastic need for trained personnel to man ships and to operate separa tion centers may keep some re serves on duty beyond the dates es tablished. . Questions and Answers Q. Is there some way in which I could arrange to have flowers placed on the grave of a loved one who was killed in action and Is buried in U. S. Military Cemetery No. 1 in France? I have the grave number and all information. Could it be done through the Red Cross and what would be the expense?— R. M. S., Scottsboro, Ala. A. The army says there is no way at the present time due to lack of proper communications and other reasons. However, the quartermas ter corps is providing a small American flag for every grave in the military cemeteries for Memo rial Day. Q. My son spent 22 months in the navy and was discharged with a B.C. D. and me and my family are de pending upon him. Is he eligible to draw this $20 a week unemploy ment compensation?—Reader, Arab, Ala. A. A BCD discharge is a'bad con duct discharge and is considered other than honorable, but not dis honorable. His eligibility would de pend upon a ruling of the Veterans’ administration, which may or may not grant privileges of the G.I. BH1. The determining factor might be whether his BCD accrued through a general or a summary court mar tial. Apply for a ruling at your nearest Veterans’ administration of fice. Q. I have a son who was drafted in the army June 22, 1945, and he is 19 and had two points when the war ended. Do his points go up or will he have to wait until the men get discharged with 2 points, or will he have to serve 18 months or two years?—Mrs. M. H., Chicago, 111. A. The army says the trend now is length of service for discharge instead of points. The latest regu lations were issued by General Eisenhower when he announced that men with 45 points or 30 months service would be released by June 30. It may be the policy of the army to reduce the length of service after June 30 to 18 months or 21 months or some other figure. Q. My son is in the navy reserves and has been in since February, 1945. He was overseas six months, a seaman 1st class. Will he get a chance for leave to come home soon and what do they get leaves or fur loughs for?—Mrs. T. L. W., Stony- point, Va. A. The usual tour of duty in the navy is 24 months. Furloughs are granted at the pleasure of the com manding officer and are not earned. Q. I have just been discharged from the navy. When I left the sep aration center at San Pedro, the chief in charge told me to leave my seabag and they would mail it home for me. I have been out 27 days and no seabag. To whom do I write to find out above it?—C. H. P., Fyffe, Ala. A. Write to the commanding of ficer of the separation center where you obtained your discharge. Q. Does the point system affect marines, service four years, volun tary enlistment? — A. D., Des Moines, Iowa. A. No. Q. Is it proper now, since the fight ing ceased, to put a star on the ser vice flag in our church for each one inducted into service of our coun try? What is to be done with the stars representing those men who have been discharged?—Mrs. K. M. W., Concordia, Mo. A. Yes, since our country is still at war, it is proper to put stars in the service flag and while there is no regulation, it likely is proper to leave stars representing dis chargees in the flag, as having served their country. In These United States Montanan Urges Farmers to Sell Wheat and Save World By WALTER A. SHEAD WNU Washington Correspondent. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Farmers should deliver their wheat to the government and do it now, if we are to save the lives of millions of persons who are wasting away from starvation in many countries of the world. This is the belief of Thomas D. Campbell, the nation’s biggest farm er, tall, lanky, sun-browned, white- thatched, enthusiastic, purposeful westerner of Hardin, Mont. Colonel Campbell, for he is a full colonel in the TJ. S. army, is deliver ing 500,000 bushels of his own wheat to the government under terms of the offer of the department of agri culture as fast as he can secure trucks and cars to get it to the rail roads, in an effort to get together 200,000,000 bushels of wheat for ship ment. Gives Reasons. The dynamic westerner declares that farmers, large and small, should deliver their wheat to the government, immediately, for the following reasons: 1. The announced plan of the D. of A. to buy wheat at the market relieves the farmer of any uncer tainty of price. Any farmer, under terms of the offer can deliver his wheat, receive a certificate from the government, and hold that certifi cate for as long as April 30, 1947, and elect at any time within that period to sell. This gives him the advantage of a higher price when it comes. 2. The government has ordered No. 1 priority for cars for shipment, although there remains the problem of trucks to get the wheat to the county elevators. 3. The farmers who figure their income tax on a cash basis will have the advantage of increased prices and reduced rate on their taxable income, as the government carries him without cost or interest on the loan while he holds his certifi cate for the higher prices. 4. Delivery of wheat now will empty storage and provide room for the coming crop. Owing to hous ing demands, it will be impossible to build increased storage facilities. 5. Perhaps the most important reason why the farmers should re lease their wheat now is the humani tarian reason, for it will mean early shipping, to save lives and to build renewed hope in the breasts of mil lions of people who today are with out hope. FOOD . . . Col. Thomas D. Campbell, Montana wheat ranch er, urges sending of wheat to Eu rope to feed the starving. At one time he farmed 96,000 acres. >VVlAriON NOTES FLYING BATHTUBS Drs. C. F. Code, E. H. Wood and E. J. Baldes of the Mayo aero medical unit told physiologists at the first session of the Federation of American Societies for Experimen tal Biology that if the pilot of a fighter plane could sit in a bathtub full of water while he was doing fast turns, loops and other evasive maneuvers he would be much less likely to “blackout.” Men were spun around on a centrifuge to test the effects of immersion in water as protection against blackout. With water up to just below the breast bone, the men were protected against the effects of acceleration to an amount expressed as 0.9 g. When the , water level was raised to the level of the third rib, the protection was 1.7 g., which is comparable with the protection given by the special anti blackout suits. COMMISSIONER . . . Mrs. Maureen Moore, mother of Jerrie, 15, and Jo Ann, 13, is Texas com missioner of labor statistics. Be fore her recent appointment she was child labor supervisor for the state. Rammed Earth House for Him GREELEY, COLO. — Back in 124 B. C., Hannibal built rammed earth watchtowers. And now, Attorney David J. Miller, copying a page from ancient history, has erected a rammed earth home to defeat the ^ housing and building materials j shortage problem. His new six-room home of mod- | ern design and novel heating sys- : tern was constructed with a bull- j dozer, a pneuma“c back-fill tamp and a little luml .• from an old barn for door sills and window cas ings. The bulldozer was used to clear the site and mix the proper soils, which must include clay, silt and sand. Forms were set in place for the walls and the earth was rammed into them with the tamp. After the earth dried, the forms were re moved and the durable dirt house was completed. Six other Greeley residents are now planning similar homes. GRANGE AND AIR The National Grange, speak ing for 750,000 families, has said: “Transportation by air in the postwar period will assume an economic importance to agri culture and to the nation as a whole far beyond that which existed prior to World War II.” • • • Today’s Q. and A. Q.—What is “seat of the pants” flying? A.—It was flying in the old days before there were instruments. When the plane went up or down or tipped, inertia of the flyer’s body changed his position in his seat enough for him to feel the difference and he could sense the position of the plane accordingly. In the air lines nowadays a pilot can tell where he is and the altitude of his plane at every moment entirely by instru ments even in the thickest weather or darkness. * * * Early Women Pilots Back in 1929 when any kind cf air plane pilot was regarded with awe, Miss Manila Davis of Flatwoods soloed a small English Moth air craft at East Boston, Mass., and in 1930 earned her private pilot’s li cense to be credited with becoming the first licensed West Virginia wom an pilot. She is now the wife of B. B. Talley, Huntington, W. Va. • • • Designers of tomorrow’s planes are planning to use heli um gas to inflate the tires to make them lighter than air. SPRAYS TREES ... To control hemlock looper in northwestern Oregon, this special dusting plane is used. For some tests, lead arsenate suspensions were sprayed; for others, DDT. What Price Glory? BELLINGHAM, WASH. — Wil liam McLaughlin, Lynden farmer, ran the following advertisement: “Will trade distinguished service cross I won in World War I for priority on Ford-Ferguson tractor.” Decorated for wiping out a German machine gun nest single-handed in the First World war, the ex-machine gunner said he had saved five years to buy a tractor, but was unable to, because priority regulations favor veterans of World War II. PLANES PLANT A 20-day job of seeding 300 acres of wheat with sweet clover was cut to 12 hours by A. T. Sumner and Sons farm near Milford, 111., when an airplane was used. Without hav ing to wait for ideal soil conditions, 360 pounds of seed was “sprayed” with what was found to be from 36 to 112 seeds per square foot. Those who did the seeding were Glenn Schuetz, Carl Shelton and Bob Gunn, who operate a crop dusting service. All are pilots and own farms. Y OU might not think that football was back, with May on its way to June, but football is always back. It has few intermissions now from January to Janu ary, when you pack in spring practice and the never-end ing flow of football talk. I found this true again on a re cent jaunt through the Southeast where record squads were busy at spring practice in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and the Carolinas. Many of these practice delegations ran from 125 to 175 men. The early enthusiasm, even under blazing suns, was far be yond normal. I ran into Wally Butts, Georgia’s coach, who coyly admitted his 1946 Bulldogs would be better than fair. “We had no line last fall," Wally said, “but we have a good line now and with Trippi on hand for the backfield, plus a few more, we hope to be ready for Alabama and Okla homa A. and M., to mention only two. Also L.S.U.” In the meanwhile Alabama and Oklahoma A. and M. are facing the chance of losing Harry Gilmer and Bob Fenimore, two All-America stars. The beckoning finger of the army draft has called both for a physical test. These two have been in the 4-F class the last two sea sons. But if they are taken, there can be no replacements to match their worth. Alabama has a great squad. But losing Gilmer is like losing a Sammy Baugh or a Luck- man. Losing Fenimore, the 195- pound sprinter, passer and kicker would be no worse than the army losing Doc Blanchard. Florida Full of Hope Florida was running a high foot ball fever. Ray Wolf and a new strong staff are now at Florida with the best Gator prospects in several seasons. Miami university, Orange Bowl winner over Holy Cross, ex pects to have a much better team than the 1945 squad. Snuffy Stirnweiss, backfield coach at North Carolina, reports the ar rival of halfback Justice at Chapel Hill, plus several additions that Carl Snavely can use with considerable pleasure. I also received the news that Bob Neyland will have another Tennessee squad that will be hard to clean away. Also that Wallace Wade, back at Duke, is busier than ten swarms of bees getting ready for a hard campaign. Southern teams have a stiff spring training grind and they are busier than usual with so many Bowls to be filled next year. With Neyland and Wade back they also face keen er competition, especially if Frank Thomas at Alabama loses Gilmer. No one can say yet what 1 Henry Frnka will have at Tulane, but you can gamble the Green Wave is roll ing forward. It might also be noted that no one can say yet just how many good football players the draft will remove from the scene all over the map. This draft procedure will wreck some teams while miss ing others completely. Army and Notre Dame We ran into several Notre Dame ex-stars who advised us to keep an eye on Frank Leahy’s 1946 squad. “The last two Army teams piled up 108 points against us in 1944 and 1945. A beating is one thing. A massacre is something else. But brother it is going to be different in 1946. Notre Dame will be there with what it takes. This means line, backfield, power and speed. “Leahy will have both Kelly and Mello back. Here are two of the best backs Notre Dame has known in years. But they are only a small part of the material now on hand for spring practice at South Bend.” “You don’t figure any Army push over?” I asked the Notre Darner. “Certainly not. But Army won’t be the Army of 1944 and 1945. Why? The line. Yes, Army will have or should have the best backfield in football, headed by Blanchard, Da vis and Tucker. But don’t forget Army has lost a number of valuable linemen and that Army line has been a big factor in their victories. In the meanwhile Capt. Tom Hamilton, now on the job at Navy, finds himself caught between two fires—Army and Notre Dame. Tom Hamilton is not only one of the best coaches in football, but one of the best inspirational leaders. Hamil ton has the foundation or basis for a hustling, fighting squad that can make it extremely uncomfortable for pny opponent on Navy’s schedule. Michigan c Troubles Hamilton was the one man who saved college football during the war. At least he did more for the cause than any other three men I know about. One team that may acquire more than its share of draft trouble is Michigan. Last fall Fritz Crisler had 18 freshmen on his squad, 8 of whom were classed among his regulars. The Wolver ines had one of the youngest squads in the country and for this reason may suffer heavier casualties. Grantland Rice IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY | chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D, Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for May 12 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. LEARNING TO LlYE TOGETHER LESSON TEXT—Matthew 18:15-17: 21. 22; Mark 10:35-45. GOLDEN TEXT—By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.—John 13:35. One world! Men have discovered in recent years that we do live in one world and that we must learn how to get along with one another, or we may find that we have de stroyed civilization and one another. God has always taught in his Word that all men are of one origin, and that despite their differences, they are to live in unity and peace. That would have been blessedly true if men had obeyed God and his law. Sin brought division and confusion. Now in our day, when we should be far on the way to the attain ment of God’s purpose, we find men more inclined than ever to be sus picious of one another, grasping in their desires and purposes, and evil in many of their ways. We have not yet learned to live together as nations. Let us set our selves to the task of living together. I. A Method for Dealing with Dif ferences (Matt. 18:15-17). This is the God-prescribed meth od for dealing with personal prob lems in the Christian church. That body in which love should reign is often rent by jealousies and person al resentments. If permitted to run on unchecked, they create division and even strife before the world, with all the disgrace it brings on the cause of Christ. Such matters are to be dealt with promptly. The aggrieved one is not to wait for the sinner to make the approach, but is to go to him and place before him the evidence of his guilt. Done in kindness and with tact, this is frequently all that needs to be done. A man may thus win his brother, with no further ado or fuss in the church. If he proves stubborn, the next step is to bring some brethren along and talk it over again. This evi dence of their concern may break the stubbornness, or their prayers may win him. And if it does not work, the things said and done will have been witnessed by brethren who can faithfully report them to the church. The final step is to bring the err ing brother before the church. Now he may see the seriousness of his offense and repent. If not, there is one plain duty; he is to be put out side of the fellowship of the church. Does th.'.t mean that he is aban doned and forgotten? Certainly not. He is to be “as a heathen man and a publican.” Does the church have any interest in such indi viduals? Indeed it does, for the pri mary business of the church is to win both heathen and publican to fellowship with Christ. II. A Measure for Determining Forgiveness (Matt. 18:21, 22). Peter’s question was a practical one. He supposed the case of one who sinned repeatedly against one who had shown a forgiving spirit. Most of us need not suppose such cases; we have them before us. We forgive and are ready to let it all be forgotten, when lo, the of fender turns up with an even greater wrong, indignity or sin! Then there is Weeping and appar ent repentance, followed almost at once by another offense. How long is this business to go on? The Jews said, “Three times, then let judgment fall.” Peter, being a follower of Christ, went much farther. He would forgive sev en times. Well, that’s a lot of for giveness; let us recognize that. Most of us haven’t even gone as far as the Jews, and Peter is way ahead of us. But it is not enough! Forgiveness which has any limit set on it is not forgiveness at all. The very genius of forgiveness demands that we do not stand there with a measuring line or an account book. It must be from the heart, without limit and without restraint. III. A Means for Attaining Great ness (Mark 10:35-45). To want to be truly great for God is certainly not a sin. In a world which was rejecting Christ and get ting ready to crucify him, this moth er wanted her two boys to have a place of honor in the service of Christ. So far, so good; but then came the thing which spoiled it all —selfishness. To seek honor for oneself, or for those one loves in order that the ego might be inflated and self given a chance to show off, that is definitely unchristian. If then it is right to seek proper greatness, how may it be done? Verses 43-45 tell us. It is by way of sacrificial service, the denial of self. This world and its kingdoms say that the one who serves is inferior to the .one who is served. In the kingdom of Jesus it is the one who serves who is greatest. Where will such a path lead? For Christ it led to the cross, and be yond it the victory of resurrection day. It may mean death for us, for a real willingness to serve connotes a willingness to give all, even life itsplf. for his glory.
