There is a rumor that can't be
confirmed, but which no one will
deny to the effect that Hitler has
chosen Gene" Talmadge to be
"gauleiter" for the honorable and
sovereign state of Georgia.
Gene" so the story goes in To-
cal Nazi circles, is trying to prove
that the Fuehrer is not wrong in
putting faith in him. That's the
reason he's putting on a minia-
ture exhibition of Nazi justice by
preparing to release from prison a
few of the local Quislings who be-
long to the ku Klux Klan and were
guilty of flogging six trade union
org lnizers.
"Shucks," Gene says, " / beat a
colored man myself" He probably
said "nigger" but the press SER
vice can't use that nasty word.
In any case there are no reports
from the Bund butchers that they
are dissatisfied with Genes per-
Torrance. They would probably do
it better, They would beat a man
right in the court room. But al
ter all. they've had lots Of exper-
fence and Gene is just get ing
started.
| haven't found any record Of
the America First Committee 60
ing on record against the Honor
able Eugene Talmadge's perfor-
nance. That doesn't surprise me,
but they do talk about "keering
democracy at hcme" so often hat
/ Thought this was a heaven sent
opportunity to say something. But
when they talk about keeping
democracy at home" guess they
mean keeping it on a pantry shelf,
like you keep the preserves.
In any event the only response
bic and important organization
that has come out against Genes
justice is the Fight For Freedom
Committee.
They have asked six prominent
Southerners to express their views
on this 1871 knight of the X. X.

stance that the South, which

Christian Stewardship
If success is counted in the prog,
ressiye economics stewardship, the
same is true in christian steward
ship, as the economic side is used
as a basis.
What is Christian Stewardship?
Christian Stewardship is every
thing over and above natural abili-
ty to do, and succeed by which one
is able to advance the interest OF
he kingdom; whether position, op
portunity, and especially, the mea
sure of grace given of men on
earth, and not angels to carry
on, and if we fail there is no 9th
er provision made. There is no in
terest Of His advanced but by
human hands. If we fail to work
His cause will fail. Every one of us
from the least te the greatest ac-
cording to cur several Abilities
is endowed with means enough TO
accomplish his own share IN
Christ's work, Some may not have
as much as others; little must
be put into the hands Of those who
can use little; and into the HANDS
Of those who can handle deal
the same accordingly.
Let us take Marian Anderson
and Eta Moten for an instance
Marian is Of parents Of the Bap-
tist church. nd started singing at
the age of six years. Eta Moten
is the dauehter of a Methodist
minister, Rev. F. F. Moten, Pre-
siding Elder of the Kansas City

a national and International fame
as great artists, hvaing sung in the
presence of kings; there re other
famed singers, "Wings Over Jor-
dam for an instance, and in our
church choirs, and out in the pews,
and people who sing well and THEN
singing will stand up anywhere,
but Marian Anderson, Royland
Hayes, Eta Moten, and other
great artists are contributing the
biggest service having, the ability
to touch more people, that is what
counts. One should not become dis
couraged because he cannot do an
well as these mentioned above, but
do his best in any thing and it

Newark fought back and over

However, many shots by New

Smelling, would seem to go right
into the net only to hop right
back out. On the other hand,
Coshocton seemed to have all the
luck. Rebounds would pop right
into their hands underneath
their bucket and it wasn't any
effort for a Brave to ring up
two points.

raising junior forward Karl See
sholtz put on a show all by him

sterling basket ball the entire
game. He collected scoring
honors for the evening by pump

total came from the free throw
line where he made good by
missing only three of Is. The
tricky Seesholtz had Coshocton
so anxious to stop him they
