Close-Knit Family Is Bulwark
OfPeace In A Tormented World
BY RUTH

Every thinking woman Today is
wondering if there is any kind of
peace and security she can draw
about herself and her family to
ease the torment that comes from
helplessly watching while much of
the world suffers.
What can one helpless woman
do to make life a little better,
more bearable for one family?
Can she do anything?
Yes, she can draw her own FAM
lily closer together than they ever
have been before.
Without trying to shut out the
knowledge of the suffering of 9TH
ers, she can see that her family
is happy in being together-happy
to be safe-happy to have each
other.
She can see to it that all of them
fully realize the magnitude OF
their blessings and that they real
ize those blessings are worthy any
kind of personal sacrifice that may
NC dohCQ LII llS IoCu1C
With whatever time she has when
they are all together, whether it is
short or long, she can build a
beauty they never will forget.
She can see to it that their being
together is not wasted in petty
%quarrels, hurt feelings, jealousies,
misunderstanding.
She can also see that none OF
that time is wasted.
Instead of each member of the
family going his separate way, as
they have done in the past, she
can draw them together in their
leisure hours.
Maybe she will bring back the
old-fashioned custom Of reading
aloud-where a whole family
shares ideas and beauty.
Many Things
Can Be Done
Maybe she'll think OF games the
family can enjoy together, bring
them together around a piano. Per-
haps she will get each member
busy doing something for others
whether it is knitting socks for
soldiers, shawls for old women, or
earning money to be turned over
to the suffering.
If there is room for a war refu-
gee-and no refugee to fill the

own town and give him a chance
for a better life.
Yes, women can do something
They can knit their families more
closely so that if the future is hard
and the going tough, not n O
them can look back and wish the
secure, together time had moi
been wasted.

Central Press COlumnist

Washington, March 6.-Naval eX-
perts are talking now about battle
ships of 10000 tons apiece. No craft
of that size ever has been built but
competent authorities testify that
they'd be perfectly practicable. And
gosh, but they would De strong
Thirty-five thousand tonners are
afloat now. Forty to forty-five thou
sand tonners are under serious con-
sideration. But 70 is the latest guess.
There are three objections to TO-
0G0 tons.
One is that a vessel of that size
would be enormously expensive to
build. But that doesn't greatly mat
ter. The money can be dug up by
our country which spends well into
the billions annually.
Objection No. 2 is that no yards
are available on earth of sufficient
capacity to do the building. Still, ade-
quate yards can be provided.
Objection No. presents harder
problem to solve. There isn't much
ocean with sufficient water in it for

Seventy thousand tons could swish
around in mid-Atlantc or mid
Pacific, to be sure, but when that
much dead weight gets inshore.

wouldn't be depth enough to accom-

he began his official connection with
AGRICULTURAL affairs at the tender age
of five when he exhibited an ear Cor

There is little doubt Of the kind
OF campaign Scott will make. He will
base his case for denomination on
the claim that he has more than tui-
filled the promises he mace four
years ago when ne ousled veteran

10000 votes 10 score what most sea-

Not so long ago the Department OF
agriculture put out what it termed
a 'Three-Year Record Of Achieve

outstanding accomplishments under
the leadership OF the incumbent
Commissioner.
This will doubles be the Scott

will be made to acquaint voters with
its contents.
Increased efficiency along all lines
will be claimed by Scott advocates
and in support d this claim the rec
ord will be cite to show that in the
past three year. very regulatory and
inspectional service has been more
active; that the marketing service
has been expanded and vitalized to
the point where it is rendering far
mers better service than ever be-
fore: that the Commissioner per-
sonally cooperated in preparation of
the so-called Bailey marketing bill
row before Congress and is exert
ing every effort to secure its passage
in form which will help North
Carolina farmers; that politics has
been scorned in the making of De-
partment appointments; and that in
general, the entire Department has
been ''revitalized'' to a degree which
makes it almost unacceptable to
those who knew it under its former
regime.
