THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C.
Notes of a Newspaper Man:
Churchill and Ass’t Sec’y of State
Berle thrashed out a lot of prob- !
lems at 10 Downing street during
the war. Berle protested Churchill’s
support of only one Yugoslav party
(Tito’s). . . . Finally Churchill said:
“Cahn’t you permit an old man one
romahnee?”
“Sure,” said the American, “but,
as in all these cases, I can only
fcope the affection is returned!”
The Democrats were going
to use “You Need Mead!” for
the N. Y. gubernatorial cam
paign slogan. . . . Until they
heard that those mean, old Re
publicans were going to coun
ter-attack with just one word—
right under theirs: “Dewey?”
Quotation Marksmanship: Goethe-.
There is no more terrible sight than
ignorance in action. . . . Anon:
Always listen to the opinions of oth
ers; it probably won’t do you any
good, but it will them. . . . B. Pen
rose: Public office — the last refuge
of the incompetent. ... A. Head:
Some women carry their secrets
about them like an alluring per
fume; others wear their secrets in
their eyes. . . . J. Csida: The glazed
pain in her eyes—like frozen tears.
. . . P. Baker: News is anything
that makes a woman say: “For
Heaven’s sakes!” ... A. Franklin:
Truman the Chief Axe.cutive. . . .
Ike Eisenhower: To win the peace
you have to fight like hell. . . . R.
McDowell: The trouble with money
ie that so few people can afford it.
J. Billingsley: Love conquers all—
except poverty and a toothache.
“How are the Dodgers do
ing?”
“Which do you mean — the
ones in Brooklyn or the ones in
the State Dep’t?”
Sounds in the Night: In the Stork:
“They seem to be treating Henry
Wallace like he was Henry Aid-
rich!” ... At the B’way Hofbrau:
“He’ll make a fortune with hi? new
invention for columnists. A foun
tain pen that writes under pres
sure!” ... At Lindy’s: “What’s
the S in H. S. Truman stand for?”
. . . “I dunno. What’s Harry Tru
man stand for?” ... At the Riv
iera: “Wallace went down for the
count of 10—Downing street” . . .
At Hansel’s: “Look. I want to be
your Now Or Never—not your Now
and Then!” ... At the Colony:
“Wish he’d stick to the Stork mar
ket and leave the Stock market
alone.” ... At the Blue Angel:
“A Broadwayite is a Jerque who
knows the inside of everything—ex
cept his own home.”
Whatever became of that old
gag about the restaurant pa
tron who asked the time of a
passing waitress, who kept on
going as she said, “Sorry, but
that’s not my table.”
It’s on page 23 of the current
Old Yorker.
Sallies in Our Alley: They were
discussing a Broadway actor on the
skids. “I hear,” said a Lindyite,
"That he and his wife may go on
the early morning radio with one
of those breakfast routines.” . . .
“I geddit,” summed up Hal McIn
tyre, “one of those has-been and
wife teams!” . . . It’s been arv
nounced that divorces in the U. S.
have gone up 25 per cent, and J.
F.linson thinks he knows the chorus
girl responsible for half of ’em.
International Weather Report:
Dark war clouds over Europe;
continued fog over Washington.
A foreign correspondent tells
about his conversation with a Rus
sian scientist who deplored those
who discuss atomic energy only in
terms of war—when that energy
•ould accomplish miracles in
peace. He summed up with this
canny analogy: “To talk of atomic
energy in terms of atomic bombs
is like talking of electricity in terms
of the electric chair.”

More than a year has passed

United States shattered for
ever the delusions of grandeur
of Dai Nippon, blasting the

grand finale that ended V-J
Day there were many heroes.
Their names flashed comet
like across the pages of the
nation’s press for a day or
two—and then were lost.

Hish Doll Costs
WASHINGTON. — Members of
Washington Council of Church
Women are awaiting return of the
29-cent doll as impatiently as any
child ever awaited Santa Claus.
The reason is that the current
high price of dolls is holding up
plans for the council to extend its
famous “doll adoption” plan to chil

Now the council wants to inaugu
rate a doll adoption program in Lat
in America and China, but its plans
are stymied by the high cost of dolls.

OTTAWA, CANADA. — Service
men provided a helpful answer in
Canada’s quest for increased popu
lation—they simply married the
prospective immigrants.
Immigration officials estimate
that one out of every five eligible
Canadians who got overseas during
wartime returned with a wife. When
the movement is completed, officials
figure that some 45,000 women and
I about 20,000 children will have en
tered Canada.
The war brides, in effect, are the
forerunners of what Canadian of
ficials hope will be a continued and
selected movement into this vast na
tion. Indications are that Europeans
in impressive numbers have “got
the word about Canada.”
Except for residents of the enemy
nations of Germany, Japan, Italy,
Romania, Hungary and Austria, as
well as Asiatics, there are hardly
any restrictions to entry here. About
all one has to show is a sound mind
and body and the ability to support
oneself.
Immigration to Canada was heavy
in the ’20s, reaching a peak of
167,723 in the fiscal year 1928-29. It
dropped to 88,223 in 1930-31. From
1931 to 1938 only about 95,000 en
tered and after that immigration
practically stopped, with even ille
gal entries negligible.

Unpaved Feeder Roads
Retard Farm Progress
DUBLIC Roads administration ten-
* tatively has considered approxi
mately 200,000 miles of secondary
farm-to-madiet roads to be taken
into the nation’s secondary highway
system under provisions of the 1944
federal aid highway act. There is
now available some 600 million dol
lars in the second postwar fiscal
year for this type of road.
Two hundred thousand miles seems
like a lot of mileage ... a stretch
which would reach from New York
to San Francisco some 66 times.
Yet, viewed in the light of total mile
age of these secondary or feeder
roads, of which there are 2,400,000
miles and of which 1,400,000 miles
are unsurfaced, it is only a step
toward taking rural America out of
the mud and dust.
This fact was pointed out graph
ically in a recent highway meeting
by Charles M. Upham, engineer-di
rector of American Road Builders
association, who emphasized the
fact that despite federal aid for
farm-to-market roads, local and
county road improvement is not
keeping pace with mechanization of
American farms.
"Improved year-round all-weath
er farm-to-market roads are as nec
essary to the people of the nation
as the primary trunk lines,” Upham
said, and to back up his assertion
he pointed to the fact that of the
512,000,000,000 worth of farm pro
duction annually hauled to market,
nearly the entire amount is trucked
over secondary or farm-to-market
roads to reach consumers of the
nation.
As an example, he declared that
in 1944 approximately 3,620,000 truck
loads of livestock alone—some 56,-
000,000 cattle, sheep and hogs—were
shipped to market over these sec
ondary roads, good and bad.
Carry a Third of Traffic
Under the 1944 act a billion dol
lars a year in matched funds ii
made available to the nation’s high
way system, of which 30 per cent
was apportioned to these secondary
roads, 45 per cent to the federal-aid
system or primary roads and 25 per
cent to urban roads and streets.
States reporting and asking for
these matched funds indicate that
29 per cent of all needed construc
tion work on highways is on the sec
ondary and feeder road system.
This is due largely to the fact that
34.5 per cent of the nation’s vehicu
lar traffic, measured in vehicle
miles, is carried over these county
roads serving 68,953,000 people or
52.3 per cent of the population of
continental U. S. A. who live in the
areas fed by these secondary high
ways.
Farmers of the nation are among
the greatest road users, since agri
culture uses 34 per cent of all trucks
built, adding up to 1,600,000 trucks
now on the farms of the nation, of
which 1,100,000 are farm-owned and
500,000 are for-hire units handling
farm products and supplies. So the
food distribution system, so vital in
these days of food shortages, relies
almost entirely upon the secondary
road system.
That congress has at last taken
cognizance of the need for improve
ment of these roads is evidenced by
inclusion of them in the highway-
aid law. Lack of funds, which here
tofore has kept many thousands of
farmers in the mud, is no longer a
valid excuse. Statistics show that
only 45,000 miles of feeder roads
have high-type paved surfaces; 99,-
000 miles have low-type bituminous
surface; 788,000 miles have non-
treated surfaces; 613,000 miles are
merely graded and drained, and
861,000 miles are classed as “primi
tive.” Despite the fact that 200,000
miles are tentatively considered for
improvement, the rural highway pic
ture is not too bright, and immedi
ate action in bringing more mileage
into the system for improvemenl
is considered essential.
Highway Taxes Diverted
One of the disturbing factors in
the farm-to-market highway picture
and indeed in the entire field of
nighway construction, is the contin
ued diversion of highway-user taxes
to other purposes by the several
states. Improvement is being made,
however, since during the past 17
years 18 states have passed consti
tutional amendments to prevent di
version of these funds.
How these taxes have grown is in
dicated by the fact that under a reg
istration of 29,485,680 motor vehicles
in 1938, total receipts from all high
way-user sources was $388,625,000.
In 1944, with a registration of 29,-
900,000 vehicles, only slightly great
er than seven years earlier,- receipts
had grown to $1,126,570,000, more
than three times the amount collect
ed in 1938. The average auto owner
pays $53.64 a year.
With federal aid added to state
funds there should be plenty to take
rural America out of the mud.
PAUL TRAINS FOR
HIS LIFE WORK
LESSON TEXT—Acts 9:19b-22; 11:25, 26;
Galatians 1:17-24
MEMORY SELECTION—And straightway
he preached Christ in the synagogues, that
he Is the Son of God.—Acts 9:20.
The regenerating grace of God
had made Paul into a new man, one
who now had no greater delight than
telling others of the redeeming
grace of God.
In preparation for that fuller min
istry which was to follow, Paul first
gave witness in the place where he
had been persecuting the Christians,
in fact, in the city to which he was
bound when the Lord met him. But
now instead of breathing out threats
and violence he met these former
associates and friends with the new
message of the gospel.
He had to meet them soonet or
later, and it was well that he met
them now. A clean break with his
past makes a man ready for future
service.
I. Paul Faces His Past (Acts
9:19b-22).
What a surprise it must have been
for those persecutors of the Chris
tians at Damascus to find that the
one to whom they had looked for
leadership was now a Christian.
What a testimony that was—right to
the point!
“Straightway”—what a good ,/ord
to apply to the servant of the Lord.
Paul did not hesitate to declare his
faith in Christ, to proclaim that the
One who had redeemed him was
able to save others.
It is the normal and proper ex
pression of Christian faith to give
testimony to others. That should
be true of every believer. With Paul
there was the added element of his
call to preach, for God had ordained
that he should be his chosen vessel
for that purpose (Acts 9:15).
Paul’s message was Christ. He
proved to the Jews that Jesus was
the Christ (v. 22), the One of whom
their Old Testament Scriptures
spake and for whom they professed
to be looking. He declared him to
be the Son of God (v. 20).
They were unwilling to accept
the message. They were “amazed”
at Paul and “confounded” by the
truth he proclaimed, but they re
jected both it and him, and he had
to escape for his life.
Although our lesson only indirect
ly refers to it (see Gal. 1:17, 18),
it should also be noted that Paul
went up to Jerusalem before he
went to Antioch, as indicated in our
next portion of Scripture.
There he faced suspicion on the
part of the believers, who knew
him as their enemy.
Having faced his past we now
see that
II. Paul Faces His Future (Acts
11:25, 26).
He was God’s chosen instrument
to bear his name to the Gentiles
(see Acts 9:15), and at the invita
tion of Barnabas he came up from
his home city of Tarsus to minister
at Antioch, the place which now be
came his real spiritual home, and
the center from which his great
missionary enterprise was carried
out.
It is interesting to note how this
came about in the providence of
God. Persecution spread the be
lievers abroad (Acts 11:19), and like
the scattered brands of a beaten
fire they carried the flame of Chris
tianity far and wide. Thus the gos
pel came to Antioch, the third great
est city in the world of that day. A
revival broke out and Barnabas was
sent from Jerusalem to be of help.
Good and spiritual man that he
was (Acts 19:23, 24), Barnabas did
nothing to hinder this work of God,
but admonished the people to
“cleave unto the Lord”; that is, to
follow him closely. Would that all
spiritual advisers had such a spirit
and such sound judgment.
He was also wise in sensing his
need of help. So he went after
Paul, the very man to teach these
young Christians and to lead them
out into a radiant and abundant
life for the Lord. Here it was that
the beautiful name of “Christian”
was first used.
All this was possible because
III. Paul Faces His Lord (Gal.
1:17-24).
Many years after he had been
called to Antioch, Paul wrote this
letter to the Galatians to warn them
against Judaizing teachers and to
urge them to hold fast to salvation
by faith. He declared this to be a
message which he received from
God and not from men.
Before Paul went out to preach and
teach he went up into Arabia to be
alone with the Lord, as he took what
we might call his postgraduate
course in theology. He learned-
alone with God.
His life had been transformed. His
attitudes had Deen completely
changed. His thinking about Christ
was diametrically opposite to his
former beliefs. He needed time
alone with God to prepare himself
for the stormy but triumphant years
ahead.
