"No longer will the subcontractor
turn to WPB or a regional official
to ask, How can I get my ma

hands of the giant company on top,
which will determine the existence
and survival of hundreds of enter

With Washington making all the
broad decisions affecting business,
Mr.. Cherne said, large segments
of business have been blacked out
completely and other segments Sc
verely restricted in their opera

of Mars, competition has disap-
peared almost completely in the
field of heavy industry"
After the war, Mr.. Cherne ven-

that demobilization will be, it can
be done without disaster. It is
going to take planning on grand

If private enterprise is wise
enough" he added, If its self-in-

for ITSELF" it will cooperate to the
fullest extent in setting up social
good as the goal of all production

A/HEN Old MT. Toad saw Mir
 W Blacksnake and turned his back on Buster Bear and the fine dinner to which Buster Bear had invited him. he had but just one idea in his head. and that was to get out of sight of MT. Blacksnake as soon as possible. He forgot to ask Buster Bear to excuse him. He forgot that he was tired and hot He forgot all the pride with which he had been so puffed up. He forgot everything but the need of getting out ot sight of MT. Blacksnake as soon as ever he could. You see, MT. Blacksnake has a fondness for toads when there is nothing better to fill his stomach. So away went Old MT Toad hop, hop. hipperty-hop, hop, hop, hipperty-hop!
 But ne mad to stop after a while You see, his legs were so tired they just wouldn't go any longer. And he was so out of breath that he Wheezed. He craWled under a big piece of bark and there he lay flat on the ground and panted and pant ed for breath. He would stay there until jolly, round. bright MT Sun went to bed behind the Purple Hills. Then MT. Blacksnake would go to bed. too, and it would be safe for him to go home. Now, lying there in the dark, for it was dark under that big piece of bark. he had time to think. Little by little he began to understand that his invitation to dine with Buster Bear had been part of a plan by his old friends and neighbors, whom he had sc snubbed and looked down on when he had been puffed up with pride, to teach him a lesson. At first he was angry, very angry, indeed Then he began to see how foolish and silly he had been. and shame took the place of anger As he remembered the deep, grumbly rumbly laughter of Buster Bear the feeling of shame grew.
 T deserve it." thought Old MT. Toad. "Yes, sir, l deserve every bit of it. The only thing that have to be proud of is that Pm honest and work for my living. Yes. sir, that's all"
 When darkness came at last and he crawled out to go home he was feeling very humble. Peter Rabbit happened along just then. Old MT Toad opened his mouth to speak but Peter suddenly threw his heac up very high and strutted past a.

Winifred'S s Kitchen Is Cheerful Place
 For Work or Rest
By BETTY WELLS

Winifred's kitchen is the cheeriest place. It has all the conveniences, that's true, but some way it man. ages to seem so much more friendly and hospitable than the usual stark. ly glaring kitchens.
 That green and white checked lin oleum is one reason. And the light crisp green walls do their share, too. But we think the yellow cur tains have the most to do with it. There are two wide tiers of win dows. (the kitchen is on the corner of the house) and Winifred has made yellow percale curtains tied back crisply. Then across the top she has valances of the brightest red printed cotton in a Tyrolean peasant pattern finished with rows of bias tape in yellow and green, like a peasant petticoat.
 The kitchen chairs have their backs and seats slip-covered with this same red printed cotton with five-inch pleated skirts all around. Yellow oil cloth covers table and cupboard work surfaces and the shelves are all painted yellow. The canisters and kitchen dishes are in light green.
 It's a big kitchen with room in one corner for rocker and round braided rug. 'Just for old time s sake" laughed Winifred, though I must say it's a nice place to sit and sew, read or rest, while I'm waiting for something to cook that I can't really leave"
 We liked Ethers kitchen, too. It's quite different from Winifred's-no

His Escape Almost a Miracle.
Calcium Needed by Body

Calcium is an essential element in the body for the building of bones and teeth and for making the nerves function properly. It is obtained from foods, but in relatively small amounts. It becomes quite expen- sive when obtained separately in the organic form in which it occurs in such foodstuffs as milk and vege- tables. Calcium, however, is very plentiful material in nature, in min- eral form. Chalk, of which there are vast deposits, contains 40 per cent calcium, and it is used in pure form in many industries. Many kinds of paper are filled" with it to provide improved printing sur faces.

bigger than a minute for one thing, with white walls and a plain red linoleum. Ethel cut out stencils of stars in different sizes and paint ed them bright blue hit or miss over the ceiling with some odd ones on the side walls. White canisters got blue stars painted on them, too. And even the white swiss curtains had bright blue stars appliqued over them. So Ethel sees a lot of stars in the course of her daily dutiesl Only she calls them the stars in her crown.

 Jimmy went right on about his busi. ness and actually stepped right over Old MT. Toad as if he had been stick or a stone. Old MT. Toad gulped and went on. The next day he went down to see Danny Meadow Mouse. He meant to tell Danny how ashamed he was for the way he had treated Danny and his other friends. But Danny brushed right past without even a glance at him. Old MT Toad gulped and started up to see Johnny Chuck. The same thing happened again. So it did when he met Striped Chipmunk.

Dangers Faced by Archeologists

Very real are the dangers arche- ologists often must risk. In Egypt they face sudden sandstorms, fierce heat; in Tibet, suspicious, hostile natives; in Central America, dis ease and deadly snakes; in most places, ordinary thieves, seeking valuable jewels of other civiliza- tions. Yet their diggings have added page after page to ancient history, brought to light many interesting facts. Some of these: There were cities of half a million inhabitants in prehistoric times; Cretans, 4,000 years ago, had bathrooms much like modern ones; Roman boys scrawled slang on house-walls 2,0OO years ago.

Customers Cunt Enter His Store
 But This Merchant Prince Thriues
North Carolinian Runs a Department Store AL though He'd Sooner
 Gossip With Neighbors

IVANHOE, N. C.-Charles R. Corbett, Ivanhoe's merchant prince," is getting along all right though he hasn't had customer in his store for five years. Whats more, they can't get in!
 Corbett's store is a department store without departments. From floor to ceiling is stacked a mass of miscellany in widest disarray. Whenever new goods arrive they are pitched in on top.
 The stock has so increased that now there is only narrow lane between stacks-just enough to per init passage of the lean storekeep- CT. So customers give their order outside and Corbett, armed with a flashlight, goes in and digs out the wanted articles. He can find anything immediately.
 Thirty years ago Corbett opened his little store in this village of a half-dozen houses, off the main highway. His stock steadily in creased in helter-skelter fashion, un- til one day young boy assistant pulled something from the bottom of the pile. Down tumbled a bewil- dering stack of merchandise.
 "Gosh," he said. How'll we ever get it back?"
 Don't bother" said Corbett. We've got too much stuff in here anyway"
 So he rented a nearby structure and opened a new store, his present one. He still uses the old store as an annex and has a third building for warehouse. But the new build ing has gone the way of the old because Corbett, though scorning modern ideas of efficiency, is anxious to stock new things.
 SiXty-fve years old, he is usually to be found on his front porch await ing trade. Since there is no space inside, he has his office in the right pocket of his coat. In the pocket are perhaps 40 or 50 letters, and Corbett explains that he an- swers correspondence when the no-

see Old Mir. Toad.
 At last Old MT. Toad gave up and went home. where he sat under a big mullein leaf the rest of the day, feeling very miserable and lonely. He didn't have appetite enough to snap at single fly. Late that after noon he heard a little noise and looked up to find all his old friends and neighbors forming a circle around him. Suddenly they began to dance and shout:
 old MT. Toad is jolly good fellowl His temper is sweet: disposition IS
 mellow
 And now that his bubble of pride IS
 quite busted,
 We know that he knows that his friends
 can be trusted"
 Then Old MT. Toad knew that all was well once more and present. ly he began to dance, too, the fun. niest dance that was ever seen.
