 The first Psalm gives helpful ad. vice In this matter of avoiding temptation. It says, Blessed is the man that walketh not in the coun- eel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the sccrnful." Here we have q picture Of how people meet temptation, finger to examine 1t, and remain to become it's captive.

e. I repainted my car once with lacquer over the original finisll, and now the coat is peeling off. 10 it possible to remove this coat without harning the original finish?
 A. Depending upon the condition of the finish coat of lacquer, lt may be possible to remove 1t without harming the undercoat by careful scraping and sandpapering. Another method Is to confine the work to Q small area at Q time, and use pre- pared paint and varnisl remover, applied to the lacquer, quickly wip- ing 1t off as soon as 1t dissolves the top coat. Some of the undercoat may be softened Q little by this pro- cess, but it will dry and harden again while you are working elSe- where on the surface.

If A Dog Could Think!

I wonder if Christ had a little
black dog,
All curly and woody like mine,
With two long silky ears and a
nose round and wet
And two eyes brown and tender,
that shine
I'm afraid that He hadn't, because
] have read
How He prayed in the garden
alone,
And how all of his friends and
disciples took flight,
Even Peter, called firm as a stone.
And Oh, am sure that that little
black dog
With a heart so tender and warm,
Would never have left Him to
suffer alone,
But creeping right under His arm,
Would have licked those dear fin
gers in agony clasped
And counting all favors but loss,
When they took Him away, would
have trotted behind
And followed up quite to the
cross.

A Doctor Speaks

During missions, but at other
times as well, sermons are preach
ed on the evil of life suppression,
|. e. refusing to give others a
chance to exist. Sometimes these
sermons have good effects and
people, having reformed their lives
return again to God and Gods law.
Unfortunately there are some
so hardened in their sins that SER
mons on their pet habits are prac-
tically useless. These are the ones
who know more than the Church
and are of the opinion-frequently
expressed - that priests speak
against denying life to others be-
cause that is their duty as they
see it. Anyhow" according to
them, what does the pastor or
his assistant know about it."
Recently a secular paper print
ed an interview given by DR.. John
S. Niles, ST., of Carbonate who
has been practicing medicine for
over fifty years.
In that time he has delivered
over 5000 babies and well over
$50 of these children have been
named for him. Speaking of birth
denial" DR.. Niles said, "These
people must be told of their wrong
doing. Race suicide is a deliberate
form of murder. 1t breaks down
our friendship with God and tends
to destroy the nation.
There have been some physi-
clans who advocate life suppress
sion because they have forgotten
God, but not DR.. Niles for he
continued, "In all my years as a
physician and surgeon I have
never lost sight of the love God
has for humanity. 1t is that in
finite power which comes to the
aid of the poor and the distressed
and leads them out into the
brightness of an understanding,
helpful world"

Compulsory Bond
Buying Looms

Failure of public War Bond
purchases to reach the goals set
by the treasury department has
made it apparent that the gov
eminent eventually will have to
resort to compulsory sales. Now
legislation to that end Is a defin-
lite prospect, since Secretary Nor
genthau has admitted that the
treasury can no longer rely on
voluntary financing beyond the
end of this year.
This is made more likely by
action of the senate finance COM
mittee in approving an amend
ment by Senator Taft to the new
8 percent Victory" levy bill pro-
viding for appointment of a joint
senate-house committee, with Sec
rotary Morgenthau serving as a
member, to study compulsory saw
ings and report to congress by
January IL.
House concurrence in this pro-
posal is necessary before the COM
mittee can be organized and set
to work, and it seems altogether
probable that the house will con-
cur.
What rate Of savings will be
required is not yet indicated, but
presumably it will not be less
than 10 per cent Of individual in
comes, the amount the present
treasury campaign has attempted
to induce citizens to devote to
War Bond purchases voluntarily.
When compulsory savings and
the new tax measures become law,
it now appears that the American
people will be turning over to the
government a proportion of their
income comparable to the share
the British people are required to
pay out of their current earnings
toward financing their govern
ment's war effort.
The method of studying and
formulating this proposed pro-
gram by a joint committee can be
commended as q distinct improve
ment over the traditional system
of separate and uncoordinated Sc
nate and house committee action
with their time-consuming hear
ings and often conflicting conclu-
sions. It is a method that might
profitably be adopted for dealing
with all the major legislative
problems arising during the war.

A Challenge, Congrats

Bright and early Monday morn
ing, Is Negro boys left Montgom-
cry for an induction center. Bright
and early Monday morning, more
than $50 Negroes, including the
Simmon High School Band were
out to see them off.
Many contingents of white boys
have left Montgomery for induc-
ton centers, but it has yet to
happen for a group of citizens or
a send-off committee to bid them
farewell.
These send-off parties aren't
necessary merely to give the boys
decent farewell. That's only a
part Of the whole thing. That
thing everybody has been hearing
about and talking about recently
called morale isn't to be sneezed
at, you know.
We imagine there's quite a diff
ferent feeling among the boys who
leave town knowing they're appre-
ciated enough for a crowd and a
band to turn out.
It's high time we woke up here
in Montgomery and vicinity to the
fact that there's a war on. It's
high time we realized that lots of
draftees aren't going to return.
We've been distinctly shown
how by our colored neighbors. If
we don't show some life now, God
pity our sons and fathers who
are on the firing line. It'll be
poor lifeless community they re-
turn to after they've done our
fighting for us.
In the meantime, we doff our
hats to fine group of Negro wo-
men, the Miller Brooks v. v. Ser
vice Club. They were responsible
for Monday mornings happy de-
parture in the induction center of
Is colored boys.

"Better Lose A Million
Men IN One Year Than
Four Million in
Four Years
BY Robert CULLEN

The Japanese have won every
land battle and conquered an en-
pire. The Germans have won ev-
cry campaign except the battle
against Russia's winter.
Our side has consistently lost
from first to last-except our ma
val battles against japan, won by
airplanes, and England's contests
with the Italians.
This record of disaster should
inpel us to examine our military
policy, compare it with the policy
Of our enemies, and try to discover
the basic cause of our failure.
We are urged to be patient and
trust everything to our leaders
since we cannot form intelligent
opinions without their knowledge
of conditions. But it is our right
and duty to have opinions and de-
mand explanations of failure, for if
the record of tragedy continues
only little while, we shall face
the end of our world and the end
of all life that is worth living.
Why does the foe always win +?
Why do we always lose?
1t was treachery and surprise at
first. We didn't have the weapons
or the fighting men. We all un-
derstand that. But what about
the times when we had the men
and the weapons available? What
about Tobruk:
Tobruk tells the whole story. 1t
was typical of our military policy
from the beginning playing safe;
being cautious; waiting for a dar-
ing enemy to strike.
Wars are not won that way-this
war least of all.
Our enemies win by equipping
and training men for each particu-
lar task; giving them superiority
in weapons and then daring every
thing and driving ahead to victory
despite the losses. They never I'M
,derestimate the opposition. They
do no wishful thinking. They ex-
pect the worst and provide the
force to vanquish it. They strike
with incredible speed and disre-
gard all risks and obstacles.
We have thought and talked in
terms of defense until it has given
us a ruinous mental attitude. We
scatter our forces and wait to
counter the enemy's blows. We a
void great risks. We play it safe.
And while playing it safe we lose
the world.
Our leaders must think in new
terms or we must have new lead
ers. We must attack and attack
and attack; we must dare every
thing and never stop hitting, for
heroic defense in this war is hero
ic suicide.

Aiding The Morale

News gathering agencies, sup
plying daily newspapers through
out the nation, rendered as fine
service toward improving the mo-
rale of our citizenship, when they
published words of praise for the
"meritorious' services of Negro
soldiers In the southwest Pacific,
, as they did in relaying accounts
of battle progress of our fighting
forces against the Axis and their
allies. Not the morale of Negroes
alone, but the morale of a large
number Of white people, especial
ly in the South.
Another recent release recount
ed the bravery and unselfish de-
votion of Negro Navy attaches
in plunging into flaming gaso-
Uncovered sea to rescue their
white officer, who had fallen
wounded after their ship was tor
pedoed. The report outlines that
three or more Negro mess attend
ants plunged into the dangerous,
oily waters and gasoline covered
area and successfully pulled the
unconscious white officer to SAT-
ETY..
These are only a few of the
acts of heroism staged by Ne
groes, even as young as this ter
rible war Is. Negroes have always
been found to exhibit just such
loyalty and bravery, adverse re-
ports as issued by forces inimical
to the minority racial group to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
More Of such reports should be
published to relieve the skeptical
element of whites and counterfeit
their hostility toward Negroes
growing out of their unwarranted
suspicious that the Negro is lack
ing in loyalty.
There are many who would
prefer reading Objectionable ref
erences to the Negro than to note
such praise as was directed by
Secretary of War Henry L. Slim
son, relative to the southwest Pa
cific Negro soldiers last week. 1t
has been charged, and there
seems to be ample ground for
the charges, that these hostile
individuals are not so much con-
cerned over the Negroes attitude,
but they are cautious, scheming
sympatlizers with the enemies
to our nation and their hostility
based on unfavorable reports
spread concerning Negroes, is
vigorously expressed for the pur-
pose Of bringing about disunity
among our nationals.
Let us have more actual ac-
counts Of Negro heroism as re-
layed recently by our influential
daily newspapers. Such will go
far toward aiding the morale of
our white citizens as well as the
Negroes themselves. - East Ten

We Need Negro
Homes Now

do you know q family who
would provide a home for a child ?
If you do, please ask them to
call the King County Welfare De-
partment, Seneca 2700 to learn
particulars as there is now urgent
need for foster home care for fiji
teen or more youngsters, ranging
in age from infancy to seventeen
years. The most urgent cases are
between seven and seventeen.
These children are without homes
because of death of one or both
parents, separation, desertion, neg
lect or other reasons.
King County Welfare Depart
ment provides regular monthly
board payments, medical care and
clothing for these children. Dur
ing the past month the depart
ment paid for the care of three
hundred and eighty-five foster
home children, and for seventy
five others placed in institutions
because that type of care was
best suited to their needs.
Quite as essential as food and
shelter is the child's right to the
security of a normal home with
adults who are understanding and
who have a sincere interest in pro-
viding the harmonious home life
which will foster the best chance
for it's physical, mental, social and
spiritual development.
For the mutual protection of
both the child and the foster par
ents, simple standards have been
set up and, through the Welfare
Department, foster homes are stu
died and licensed.
Children placed in foster homes
are not for adoption and periods
of care vary from those of an
emergency nature for very short
period of time to several years.
Just this week the Juvenile Court
requested us to provide temper
airy care for a little lad of two
years and his sister of four. They
had been brought to the Detention
Home by a federal agency while
search was being made for rela-
tives who would take them. There
was no room for them at the De-
tention Home! The Welfare De-
partment is constantly attempting
to place children with relatives and
to reunite families whenever pos
sible.
In these times when everyone
wishes to assist in war activities,
many women are disappointed that
they cannot leave their homes to
work. Befriending a child by af-
fording it opportunity to develop
into a useful member of society
is most challenging job and tru-
ly one indispensable to the future
of democracy.
You have expressed an interest
In possible solutions to many of
the problems of public welfare
administration, and we hope that
you will be able to assist in this
situation by informing suitable
persons of this very real chance
to participate in an interesting
and practical project!
