a big feature of the fairs program
with Captain Jimmy Jamson giving
a thrilling dive from a 110-foot lad

The trapeze work Of Jay-Dee high in
the air has thrilled fair visitors
nightly. The fine display Of fireworks
brought the free act program to a

The Art Lewis Shows filled the
large midway, with high class shows
and thrilling rides. There was en-
tertainment for all, young and old,
and all shows and rides were we'll

The fair opened officially Monday
evening at 6 o'clock, but a cold, crisp

RADIANT LIVING
OMITTING SCRIPTURES
By Rev. c. NJ. Griffeth
Methodist Pastor of
Deals Island. Md.

1t is easy today for a minister to
fool the people that he breaches to
in the manner in which he may
quote Scripture. A word or two, a
clause. or even verse may be omit
ted in a public reading of the Scrip
ture without the omission being de-
tected, except perhaps by a very
few sitting in the congregation.
There was time when this could
not be done. That was when the
people of the church knew their
Bibles.
Ministers however do not leave
cut words, phrases, clauses or verses
when they read the Scripture. 1t is
not in the church that Scripture is
omitted. 1t is rather outside. in the
every day life, when Scripture is
applied to life. that certain words,
phrases, or clauses seen to be omit
ted.
Such an omission often occurs
from Mt. 1924, Therefore whosoever
heareth these sayings of mine, l will
liken him unto wise man which
built his house upon rock"
Now if l haven't gone and done
the very thing have been writing
about! l have left out a few words
in quoting the above. Did you OBJ
serve that l omitted the following
three words: "and doeth them?
This is the very thing which we
are emitting from our daily lives.
We do a lot of hearing" but little
doing. We are omitting Scripture
from life.
The Apostle James confirms us
when he says: BE We doers of the
word and not hearers only, deceiv-
ing your own selves"
He who drops any part of Scrip
ture out of his living does not de-
ceive his neighbor. but it is he him
self who is the victim of his own
deception.
1t is in the severity of the storm
hat the strength of the house is
revealed.

SOCIALISM ON DISPLAY

According to an article in the
Knoxville News-Sentinel, the Ten
nessee Valley Authority has con-
structed an elaborate exhibit to be
displayed at the Golden Gate Expo
sition at San Francisco. The exhibit
shows the whole IVA program in
miniature, through maps, lighting
effects, etc, and 1t took three
months to make.
It will be interesting to see whe-
ther the exhibit tells the whole IVA
story. Does it, for instance, show
how countless millions of Treasury
dollars. paid by all the taxpayers Of
America. have been poured into the
IVA in order to benefit" a limited
area?
Does il show how the iva is
largely free of taXation-which
means that states, cities and the fed
eral government are losing millions
of tax dollars annually that would
be paid by private utilities doing the
same volume of business. and that
all other taxpayers must pay higher
taxes to make up the loss?
Does 1t show how the TVA is sub
sidized in every branch of operation
by the federal government, and is
given expensive free" services
such as the mail franking privilege,
assistance, promotional
literature. tax freedom on gasoline.
motor vehicles. etc.-at the expense

The great public utility war in the
IVA country is being brought to a
finish through the sale of the Com
monweaIth and Southern properties
in Tennessee to the government.
Thus IVA will have clean field in
which to supply cheap power to the
public.
There has been a real fight for
years, in which the government has
not been reflected in a favorable
light because the IVA authority per-
sisted in it's efforts to beat down the
private companies and obtain a
price that would have been a detri-
ment to stockholders. President Will
kie is entitled to great credit for
having stood out under trying diff
eulties.

RESEARCH IN BANKING


One recent development of great
Importance in the banking business
! is the increased interest shown by
bank officials in research. No longer
do progressive bankers confine their
attention to their own little locality
they have come to realize that ma
tional conditions are a far more vital
long term factor than local condi-
tions.
AS J. H. Riddle, economist of the
Bankers Trust Company, said some
time ago, "The issue before each
banker is broader than the mere
welfare of his own institution. If
we have learned anything from the
depression it is the dependence of
every bank upon the SOundness OF
the entire credit structure. Credit
extended in Pennsylvania or New
York may have repercussions in
Texas or California, and vice-versa.
If credit is granted excessively or
unwisely in one section, the whole
system suffers To what extent
will it prove necessary to remodel
cur banking structure and to what
extent are we willing to give up our
prejudices in the interest of a sound
er and stronger banking system?
The savings of the people are too
important to be entrusted to any
except those completely qualified in
character and training"
This very frank statement goes
long way toward exploding the COM
mon fallacy that bankers as group
are opposed to all change and pro-
gress. and simply want to sit tight
on bulginS money bags. Every bank
er worthy of his salt is eager to
make sound investments-to build up
his town. his state and his nation.
At the same time. he fully realizes
his vast. inescapable obligations to
his depositors. II is their money
he manages-not his. And the stimu-
lated interest banking is showing in
scientific research, promises to still |
further better the service it offers our !
which is vital TO all indus |
trial progress. and to a more pros
porous nation.
Milford chronicle., 1939-02-17

of every taxpayer in America?
Does it show how the IVA is Inn
mune to all forms of regulation
while the private utilities are regu-
lated to the hilt by the states in
which they operate, and nationally
by the Federal Power Commission?
Does it show how the iva holds a
merciless club over the utilities with
which it competes-by threatening
them with duplication of their fa-
cilities, unless they will sell at an
arbitrary price decided upon by IVA
officials?
Finally. it would be very interest

lH CLUB NOTES

Interest of 4-H Club members
seems to have revived in "pig-way'
according 10 Helen l.. Comstock
County Club Agent. Following the
news that the County Link will fur
nish four pure bred gifts to as many
club members, the Oak Grove Blue
Hens Chicks Club at their meeting
Monday evening, came forward with
similar offer for their club mem
bers. The club member pays for the
animal by returning two pigs from
the first litter to the club. This serv-
es a dual purpose of encouraging
club members and eventually reim-
bursting the club treasury. Club
members wishing gifts are Edward
Dixon. Victor Carrow, Jack Moore
and Alois Miller.
The Clayton ClOd Hoppers, new
4-H group, laid aside their "over-
alls" and stepped out" to stage
very successful social meeting on
Thursday evening, February 8, at the
Clayton school.
Layton Mabrey, president, was in
the chair. The club is planning to
enter the dramatic contest and Will
lard Hickman, local leader, was
named chairman of a committee to
make a selection. Plans were also
discussed for a minstrel to be given
later in the spring.
John HOutman gave an excellent
account of the State Bee Keepers
Association meeting. John spoke on
the subject of "4-H Club in Beekeep-
ing" and represented Kent county.
He stated that beekeeping in COM
mon with other agricultural activi-
ties required a great deal of patience
and perseverance and that a know
ledge of just where and how certain
things should be done is necessary,
if one is to be successful. In 1858,
his second year as beekeeper,
Johns profit from five colonies was
about $500, a remunerative busi-
ness as well as an interesting hob
by.
Helen L. Comstock, County All
Club Agent, made several announce
ments about club activities-amonS
others, the desirability of naming
State bird. The members were divid-
ed in their choice. with the majority
of votes for the Cardinal and the
Blue Bird second in favor
Miss Comstock showed three
sound films. two All films, IL
Pledge My Heart" and "4-H News
Reel" and a dairy picture when the
Cows Come Home"
The leaders for this meeting were
we'll chosen for John Houtman and
Nelson Steele made the delicious
ice cream and chocolate cake which
was served in the lunch room.
The Union Blue Jays met at the
home of Jack Cooke on Thursday
evening, February 9. The committee
for the Dramatic Contest reported
that while not final, they would
probably seletc a melodrama "She
Was Only Farmers Daughter" as
their one-act play. Catherine Hardy

ware Dramatic Association meeting

Edwin NJ. Barry of the Game and
Fish Commission gave talk on wild
life and game that was of real inter-
est to the boys. At the same time.
Marie McGinnis and Frances Craig
demonstrated ably the preparation
of salads.
Paul Hodgson, teacher of voca-
tional agriculture, will be the speak
er for the March meeting.

TALKING ABOUT 4GOING CALM.

Most hopeful phase of revised
program for reorganization of the
Executive Branch of the Government
is found in the observation that the
President and Congress are now ap-
preaching the whole question in "a
calmer mood"
One wonders why there ever
should have been so much excite
ment and political hauling and maui
ing over this matter, because any
body who knows anything about the
affairs of the government knows that
there is endless overlapping of au-
thority; and that there is inefficien-
cy and waste. All this could be cor
issues and prejudices were scratch
rected rather easily if all political
ed.

THE RIO GRANDE is OUR
FRONTIER

The foreign policy as restated at
Washington is against any entang-
ling alliances" it favors world trade
for everybody, sympathy for reduc-
ed ornaments. The nation, as stated
by President Roosevelt, is "sympa-
thetic with the peaceful maintenance
of political, economic and social in
dependence of all nations in the
world" On these points there seems
to be general agreement.
The running dispute between Sem
ators and the President seems to be
over geographic differences about
whether or not France is Americas
frontier; while Italy's official
spokesmen are referring to the Rio
Grande as the Fascist's frontier.
European democracies have our
blessings but they still owe us their
war debts. and we are mt apt to re-
engage in winning battles for them
again.

accompanied with warming to all the

American grass.
While the White House and Con-
gress are disagTeeing about where
our European. frontier lies there al
so appears to be no divisions among
the mabout the seriousness of the
troubles nearer at home. And there
are disturbing problems of trade,
commerce, and the security of the
Western Hemisphere, that require
the attention of our statesmen.
The new Good Neighbor policy,
and the old Monroe Doctrine appear
to be threatening with spontaneous
combustion in view of the report
that "the red and black flag of revo-
luton hangs over Mexico"
The dangerous situation below the
Rio Grande calls for stronger poll
cies, if the legitimate rights of Am
orleans are to be protected. So why
all this shouting about few heated
phrases of speech when danger and
intrigue turks at our very borders?

POLES

Tonight at g p. m. the Loew-Poli stage will be the scene of Scin- tillating, all-colored revue, featur- ing the headline performers from the Plantation Club, the Cotton Club, and the Harlem Uproar Club, the three being the most famous O. New York Mite spots.
 Known as the Harlem Hot-ShotS Revue, this show, without exaggera- tion, boasts of the greatest group of Sepian performers ever seen on any stage, anywhere. and further proof of their entertainment ability is found in the fact that many of them will be among the great enter tainers to be featured at the world s fair when it opens this year in New York City.
 Outstanding on this weeks show are the Hillman Bros, dancers whose exceptionally brilliant rou- tines kept them at the Cotton club for a record breaking engagement; Babe Matthews-possessing an in- imitable style of song rendition; John Cooper, famous as the Col ored Edgar Bergen; Slim and Ed- die, popular radio comedians; Char lie and Fay Banks, fast-stepplng brother and sister team, and the , Crackerjacks, the worlds most fa- nous colored acrobats. These and many others will appear in person, tonight on our stage, for one per- formance only, so don't miss them.
 Furnishing the musical back ground as capably as they have Tn the past are Gus Meyers, and the Loew Poli theater orchestra.
 There is positively no advance in prices for this big revue which is being presented with a double smash hit screen program, headed by Thanks For Everything" with a top-notch cast of favorites includ- ing Adolphe Menjou, Jack Haley, Tony Martin Arleen Whalen, Jack Oakie, Binnie Barnes, George Bar bier and many others.
 This is the most refreshing com edy to come out of Hollywood for some time, and its hilarious plot, which expounds the droll idea that there is such a thing as Mister Average Man in this country of ours, and that he would be worth a fortune to any promoter who knew how to handle him, will have you rolling in the aisles from laughter, as 1t goes from one side-splitting episode to another.
 Federal Man Hunt" is the sec- ond big hit on the program, and combines thrills and mystery in a daring drama featuring Robert Liv- ingstone and June Travis in the leading roles.
