from God, which came to our great
Way-shower at the outset of his won
derful career of service to mankind.
Today, as then, God, divine Love,
reveals Himself to every honest
seeker for Truth. To all who hum
bly, and earnestly look to God for
help, thus acknowledging His power,
angels, Goods thoughts passing to
man." bring the needed inspiration,
direction, comfort, love, and protec-
ton. There is no situation too COM
plicated, no sin too deep, no disease
too hopeless, no burden too great, to
be reached and healed by God, divine
Mind. Even if the call for help is
faint and hesitant, Love is always
present, and he who turns to God
finds Him near. The Father-Mother
God is constantly blessing man, His
own idea, and providing for his
every need. But we must place our
selves in the position to receive the
blessing. We cannot receive it by
denying Gods presence and power;
but in reaching out to Him, no mat
ter how hesitatingly, we put our
selves where we can receive and
utilize the good that is always avail
able. Then, encouraged and strength
ened, we may increase our UNDER
standing of God until we know Him
as ever-present Life and Love, and
begin to appreciate the perfection of
His creation, including man In His
image and likeness.
Many of those who now on land,
in the air, or on the sea, are doing
their part in preserving the freedom
and liberty SO dear to all right
minded men, are proving repeatedly
that protection, sure guidance, and
safety are assured when thought is
turned to God, and His righteous gov
eminent of His own creation ac-
knowledged. So did a similar turn
ing to God deliver the Israelites
many times in Biblical days.
The angels of His presence must be
sought and made welcome. Then, in
their radiant light, evil of every kind
fades and disappears. When we strive
to understand the heavenly message,
as did Jacob, and drink deep of spir-
itual inspiration, as did Jesus, there
will come to us "the inspiration of
goodness, purity, and Immortality,
counteracting all evil, sensuality, and
mortality" Thus is Gods love for
His beloved child made known. !.

1.-THE HOME FRONT"

There's nobody in Pennsylvania,
or in Delaware, or in Maryland, or
anywhere in these United States,
who can't be vital part of this
country's forces for victory in the
war against the Axis. In fact, there's
nobody who conscientiously can fail
to recognize and accept q vital re-
sponsibility.
There may be physical and other
limitations on your eligibility for
active military or naval service, but
many happenings since our war eff
fort got into high gear show one
way in which everybody can help.
The battle-cry of the consumers
front should be: buy according to
your needs, but only when the need
is real"
Good sense as well as patriotism
counsels the consumer to think
about replacing things only when
they are beyond repair, or when the
crock or bowl, the barrel or the
shelf, are nearly bare. Hoarded
sugar cakes and often spoils, and
unused clothing goes out of style or
becomes food for moths.
1t was hard to realize the need
for this when we still had great
stocks of finished articles in the
warehouses and in the stores. But as
industries serving civilians contin-
ued to change over for about work
and the flow of goods into civilian
outlets tapered off, we have come
to see what all this is going to mean
in terms of our own lives.
Scarcities under war conditions
can't be helped, and the sacrifice
they require are our contributors to
the victory we're working for, but
we can't prevent inequalities. The
people who refrain from buying
something until they really need 1t
aren't going to be penalized for their
patriotism.
There are ways of guarding
against that and against all favorit-
ism and profiteering. One of these
ways is by rationing, as in our great
sugar rationing program which
starts this month, and which will
make sure that everyone gets a fair
share of what sugar there is for
domestic uses.
That's why retreaded and recap
ped automobile tires are being ra-
toned now, and that's why sales OF
new automobiles were stopped until
March 2, and will be sold thereafter
only to limited group Of purchas-
ers whose needs are most vital, as
certified by the local rationing
boards.
It's up to all of US to read our
newspapers and keep informed by
all available means about these reg
ulations, so that we can comply in
diligently and effectively serve our
national detectives. And don't
"half-read" an announcement and
rest back comfortably on what you
hope II means. Be sure you under
stand the regulations and, If In
doubt, check with county rationins
boards or other ofacial agencies for

TheAnge1s ofFIis Presence

nNE of the hopeful and encour-
aging signs of the times is a
reaching out on the part of an
increasing number of people to
power beyond the human, in which
they may find a refuge, guide, pro-
tector, and friend. This human yearn-
ing for something dependable on
which to lean in trying times, for
something stable in the midst of con-
fusion, for that which will replace
dismay and despair with confidence
and hope, is understandable and rea-
sonable. Further, it can be produc-
tive of results. Nearly two thousand
years ago Jesus said tMatthew I'D,
"Ask. and it shall be given you;
seek, and we shall find; knock, and it
shall be opened unto you" These
promises still stand. All through the
years those who have sought God
sincerely and hurnbly have found
Him close at hand. :. :.
Mary Baker Eddy in Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures"
(page 581) defines "angels" as fol-
lows: Goods thoughts passing to
man; spiritual intuitions, pure and
perfect; the inspiration of goodness,
purity, and immortality, counterfeit
ing all evil, sensuality, and mortal
ity." That this definition is in ac-
cord with the Scriptural meaning Of
the word is evidenced by many incl
dents of divine guidance and pro-
lection related in the Bible. -.
Throughout the Old and the New
Testament there are many references
to angels. These heavenly messen-
gers, spiritual intuitions," brought
comfort, guidance, explicit COM
mands, and, when needed and
obeyed, never failed to bless. Jacob
experienced bitter struggle with
a false sense of selfhood, of life as
material, until an angel appeared to
him. And not until he thoroughly
understood the message and received
Gods blessing, would he let the an
gel go. Then he was trans
formed. 49,.
In the twelfth chapter of the Acts
of the Apostles, we read of the angel
that delivered Peter when he was
cast into prison, bound in chains.
Because he listened and obeyed the
angelic message, Peter found himself
unbound and free. Angels ministered
to Jesus after his vigil in the wilder
ness,-pure and perfect thoughts

CHEVROLET DEALER
COMMITTEE

| A comprehensive picture Of the
retail automotive business In Its
duration dress, presenting cross
section of Chevrolet dealers think
ing ON problems common to all auto
dealers will result from series Of
lea zone, regional and national
dealer committee meetings begin
ming Feb. "a, concluding with two
day final session in Detroit, March
1911, William e. Holler, Chevro-
let general sales manager, ANNOUNCE
ed today.
In the face of stringent restric-
lions applying to the auto manufac-
turing business as the first wartime
commercial casualty, these meet
ings are expected to develop a COM
pilation of immediate needs fore
seen by the retailers so that they
may remain the servant of the mo-
torist.
In 81 zones throughout the coun-
try, 76 dealer meetings will be held.
Two groups--the Dealer Service
Committee and the Dealer Business
Management Committee--will dis
cuss the two current prime phases of
the retail automobile business.
Selected delegates from these groups
then convened in Chevrolet's eight
regional headquarter points March
to prepare a more inclusive report
| for their representatives to bring
to Detroit for the final sessions with
Mr.. Holler, his staff, and department
heads.
Since early in 1887, regular deal
er committee sessions have served
an important liaison role linking
Central Office with the more than
5000 Chevrolet Dealers" Mr.. Hol-
Ter said. 1.-THE continuity of this pro-
gram has afforded us the most COM
plete cumulative picture of retail
problems and procedures in the in
dustry. At no time in the history of
the program have dealers faced such
rigorous conditions as confront
them today, and thus 1t follows that
never before has Chevrolet had a
chance to serve dealers at a time
when it's support and counsel are
more necessary.
Formerly, these groups were
designated the National Dealer
Planning and National Dealer Used
Car Committees, but as we have
broadened our program of "spec-
ialization for efficiency throughout
the wholesale organization, we have
likewise encouraged the retailers to
adhere to the same principles.
"The new committees will be
termed Dealer Service and Dealer
Business Management Committees,
indicative of the specialized func-
lions they will hold in the over all
program of girding the organization
for the severe tests ahead"
In the five years of the Dealer
Committee system, Mr.. Holler said,
nearly 1900 separate meetings have
been held, attended by more than
5000 dealers. This broad-gapge
representation of the retailer in ma
tional planning has played an in
valuable role in the creation of poll
cies and program improving Chew
rolet service to owner and dealer
alike.

STRONG MEASURES ADVOCATED
TO PROTECT TIRES

III FNUIECH TIRES
Declaring that persons who break
glass or throw other tire-destroying
materials ON streets and highways
are little better than tire thieves,
now regarded as public enemies, /"
the Keystone Automobile Club advo-
Gates strong enforcement measures
to protect motorists against damage
which literally is irreparable".
with new tires and retreads
drastically rationed, the motorist
who suffers the loss of tires and
tubes by running. over glass, nails
or other sharp substance is prac-
tically forced OF the highway" said
George e. Keneipp, Manager Of the
Club. ''The serioIsness of the situa-
ton cannot be over-emphasized".
The Club urges police to be more
vigilant in tracing the source of
broken bottles, nails, etc., on the
streets. In the past, 1t is pointed
out, there has been very little en-
forcement along this line. But with
emergency conditions prevailing,
the Club believes police should make
every effort to capture those re-
sponsible, either through malicious
ness or carelessness.
Storekeepers are criticized by
many motorists for opening boxes on
sidewalks and permitting nails,
tacks and boards with nails stuck In
them to get into the streets. More
care in box-opening operations
would cut down drastically the num-
Der of punctures due to nails.
It is also believed by Club officials
that much good could be accom-
plished If school authorities would
emphasize in school assemblies the
need for cooperation of pupils in
prevention of glass breakage.

UNEMPLOYMENT COM
PENsATION

Reports to the Maryland Unem-
ployment Compensation Board for
the last half of the year 1914 indi-
oates that the number Of indivi-
duals covered by the unemploy-
ment compensation law in that per-
iod considerably exceeded sone-third
of the population Of the State as
recorded In the Federal census OF
1910. That population figure was
11,546.
The workers reported by en-
ployers for the six-months period
averaged 678,350 per quarter.
"But these figures are mislead-
ing" explained s. G. Cromwell, Dr.
rector of the Unemployment Com
pensation Division of the Board.
"In many instances the same name
and Social Security number appear
on several different employer pay
rolls. The reports received by the
Board cover activities for three
months. My own view is that, re-
gardless of the employer reports,
the maximum number of employees
in Maryland industries covered by
the unemployment compensation
system is about 475,0OO."
Employer reports for recent cal
|endar quarters have contained the
names: Fourth quarter, 1910
|572,262; First quarter, 1941--
|5S5,74S; Second quarter, 1941--
$4,000; Third quarter, 1941--
686,713; Fourth quarter, 1941--
$4,000.
The high figures, of course, are
due to defense Tor war; industries
many of which are located in Mary
land. The reports do not cover en-
ployers who have less than four
persons working, neither do they
cover farm employees nor domestics.

ed with strings, fringes and pro-

ly pair of moccasins of the finest In

beads. A blanket of scarlet or some
other bright color hangs from his
shoulder, and is grit round his waist
with a red sash, in which he bestows
his pistols, knife, and the stem of his
Indian pipe; preparations either for
peace or war. His gun is lavishly dec
grated with brass tackS and vermilion,
and provided with fringed cover, oc-
caSionally of buckSkin ornamented
here and there with feather. His
horse, the noble minister to the pride,
pleasure and profit of the mountaineer,
is selected for his speed, spirit, and
prancing gait, and holds place in his
estimation only second to himself. He
shares largely of his bounty, and of
his pride and pomp of trapping. He
is caparisoned in the most dashing
and fantastic style; the brides and
crupper are weightily embossed with
beads and cockades; and head, name
and tail are interviewer with abund-
ance of eagles plumes which flutter
in the wind. To complete this grotesque
equipment, the proud animal is be-
streaked and bespotted with vermilion,
or with white clay, which ever presents
the most glazing contrast to his real
color"
The foregoing are some of the in

vile, while on his way to what is now

EARLY BICYCLE
USE BY TROOPS
TRIED IN STATE
TRIP WAS CONDUCTED IN 1897
BETWEEN FORT MSSoULA
AND ST. LOUIS

Possibly one Of the forerunners of
modern mechanical armies was a
demonstration trip to determine the
practicability of using bicycles to move
troops in warfare. The trip was con-
Quoted in 1897 between Fort Missoula
and st. Louis, Mo, with a company of
20 negro soldiers.
The trip was under the leadership
OF Lieut.. James A. Moss of Fort Mis-
soula, who believed that under ordi-
nary good conditions a bicycle corps
Of the army could do faster travelling
over ordinary country than cavalry
troops. The experiment received the
sanction of the United States war de-
partment, which at that time was
headed by Daniel S. Lamont, and was
being closely observed by government
officials.
The troop reached Billings on the
morning of June %, 1897. 1t was 42l
miles from the starting point at that
time and had travelled that distance
, in nine days, an average Of about At
miles per day, taking into considera-
ton time out for rest and other nee
essary stops. Lieutenant Moss claimed
that on the first leg of the trip the
cyclists averaged about 60 miles per
day while actually travelling.
Lieutenant Moss said that he
planned to make the trip to st. Louis
in approximately six weeks and to
return in about the same length Of
time.
The demonstration trip was the first
long journey on bicycles by company

Farmers Are Told
To Cut Trees NOlC
For Winter Fuel

Farm people who use wood for fuel
will find that trees cut now will dry
out and provide better fuel by the
time it will be needed this coming
winter, says E. E. Isaac. extension hor-
ticulturist at Montana State college.
Isaac suggests that the curing
process can be speeded up by cutting
the felled trees into stove length
blocks and piling them up to dry out.
Then next fall when other farm tasks
are less pressing the blocks can be
split for stove use.
Green wood not only burns with less
efficiency but it is also harder TO split
than wood that has been left TO dry
out and season for several months.
Farmers who have their own wood
lots should select for fuel wood those
trees that are of no value for lumber,
posts or poles. BY using the poorer
quality trees for fuel, the stand is
thinned out so that the better species
will have room to grow to sawlog size.
