HOME FROM ARUBA
ON VACATION

Ralph Lorentz, who is employed
with a subsidiary of the Standard
Oil company, and for the past eight
years has been in South American
countries, and Of late located on the
island of Aruba, is spending a two
months vacation with his home peo-
pie at Lowell. He came the last OF
June. He was here Tuesday after
noon. and brought some first hand
| information concerning our local
boys in the service who are now on
Aruba. He is acquainted with Neal
| Barrett, ''Eby" Balding, Charles
Knox and Donald Duvall He states
| the boys are all o. k, and they seem
to think the climate fine-also the
Spanish girls.
Mr.. Lorenz states that the refin-
| cries at Aruba are the largest in the
| world, oil being sent there from
the rich producing countries of
South America, where they refine
$4,000 barrels daily. He reports
that 20 percent of the aviation gaso-
line OF the world is produced at
Aruba. The refineries there employ
5000 natives and about rs Amer
leans. There are about 500 Amer
lean soldiers at Aruba, and 400
Dutch soldiers, and there are plenty
OF bombers, airplanes, and all sorts
of big guns.
He states that Russian women
convoy so percent of the tankers
from Aruba to Russia. The harbor
about Aruba is very deep and the
water is so clear that airplanes can
readily spot submarine 200 feet
down in the water, which is about
as deep as submarines can go. Ger
man submarines have shelled Aruba
several times within the past year.
The first time they did some dam
age, but none the other times. Mr..
Lorenz states that a number of
German submarines have been de-
stroyed there, and because of the
clear water, as stated, when thew
are easily spotted, they have learn
ed best not to attempt operations
there.
The island of Aruba is about 80
miles long and Is miles wide. The
climate there is around 95 degrees.

constant trade winds, the heat is
not felt there like it was here the
past week or so.
Mr.. Lorenz brought with him
many pictures of Aruba and from
other South American countries; al
SO pieces of money. He states that
he lost an auto he was shipping

The Chinese ambassador to the
United States is quoted as saying:
"As an unreconstructed heather, /
wish to pay my respects to all the
Christian missionary workers, Prot
estant and Catholic, who have aid
ed China during these years of
Chinas war of resistance to aggres-
sion. Throughout these years many
of the missions have lost their prop
erty and have suffered casualties in
personnel. Their women workers
have been sent away and have suf-
fered great indignities, physical
hardships, and misery because of
war time troubles. But as far as
know, no missionary worker has
deserted his post Their mis-
sions have become centers of refuge

MEAT INDUSTRY LEARNS FROM
WARTIME DEMAND

Livestock farmers, packers, and
meat retailers may make many
changes in their future operations
as result of their wartime exper-
fences, suggests L. E. Kunkle of the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion's Animal Industry Department.
Methods of merchandising meat
may follow one that the army has
developed to advantage. Carcass
meats are bOned to conserve ship
ping space, and the boneless parts
of beef are packaged according to
their use, that is, roasts, stews, and
grinding beef. Filled cartons of ap-
propriate size are frozen and can be
transported for use at some distant
point or stored for future consump-
ton. Mess officers and their staff
can cook the boneless frozen meat
quickly and serve it easily without.
waste. the army is relieved of
carcass meat cutting, and more ef-
ficient use Is made of the bones,
tendons, excess fat, and other
wastes, which are salvaged at the
packing plant.
Beef boning has been practiced
by packers for a long time. but
army orders of boneless beef have
accelerated the operation. Increas-
ed attention to beef boning and the
yield of boneless parts will doubt
less continue, and ultimately this
method Of processing will be adopt
ed for civilian consumption.
Discrimination among carcasses
that are most suitable for boning
will reflect on livestock markets
and should encourage the breeding
and feeding of meat type animals
whose carcasses have a higher per-
centage of the desired lean edible
meat

Gods Covenant with Mankind
Genesis 9:1-15, for Sunday, July
26.
Our lesson deals with Gods GOV.
enant with mankind. The old had
been swept away; in a new world
inhabited by new creatures, the Al
mighty desired to enter into new
relations with them.
v. 1. "And God blessed Noah
and his sons, and said unto them,
Be fruitful and multiply, and re-
plenish the earth" God repeats his
original blessing to Adam and Eve
God planned to bless man that he
might be blessing.
v. 2. "And the fear of you and
the dread of you shall be upon ev-
cry beast of the earth, and upon ev-
cry fowl of the air, upon all that
moveth upon the earth, and upon
all the fishes of the sea; into your
hand are they delivered" Because
of mans superior intelligence, he is
master of all animals; he is ordain-
ed to have dominion over them.
V. 3. Every moving thing that
liveth shall be meat for you; even
as the green herb have l given you
all things" Here for the first time
is mentioned the permissibility of
animals as food. Later unclean an
imals were forbidden as food.
v. a. "But the flesh with the life
thereof, ye shall not eat" 1t was
. considered that blood was synony-
nous with life. In giving his blood,
Christ gave his life.
v. 5. "And surely your blood of
your lives will l require; at the
hand of every beast will 1 require
it, and at the hand of man; at the
hand of every mans brother will l
require the life of man. Here is
a declaration of the sanctity of hu-
man life. Murder was so serious an
offense that it required the severest
possible punishment.
V. 6. "Who so sheddeth mans
blood, by man shall his blood be
shed, for in the image of God made
he man." Here is the great reason
for the sacredness of human life.
Man is a person with powers like
those possessed by God.
". Z. "And yot, be ye fruitful,
and multiply; bring forth abundant
ly upon the earth, and multiply
therein Humanity was given a
new start after the flood.
V. 8, 8. "And God spake unto
Noah, and to his sons with him,
saying, And I, behold, I establish
my covenant with you, and with
your seed after you" Here is Gods
covenant of promise for all time.
Gods processes are often slow, un-
folding through the ages; but he is
working toward distant ends and

LATE RULINGS OF ATTY
GENERAL.

State Council of Defense does not
have power to compel municipalities
or townships to enter into con-
tracts for interchange of fire ap-
paratus and equipment during an
emergency, Attorney General Thom-
as j. Herbert ruled recently in an
opinion to Ray r. Gill;, State Prop
erty officer.
In requesting an opinion, Mr.
Gill said he had been rea.ested by
the Civilian Defense Council to car
ry out a plan whereby cities and
townships would furnish to each
other, men or equipment in cases
where due to emergencies, there is
insufficient equipment in any par
ticular locality.
Political subdivisions may con-
tract with other subdivisions for ex-
change of equipment if they de-
sire, Mr. Herbert said. In that
event the subdivisions would not be
liable for injuries resulting from
their fire engines answering an
alarm outside their own district or
at the scene of the fire.
Damages to the fire engine would
have to be borne by the subdivision
owning it. Foremen injured while
outside their own district who un-
der such circumstances would be
eligible for benefits from the fire
mems pension fund would be en-
titled to workmen's compensation
in case of injury, Mr.. Herbert said
County Commissioners do not
have the authority to sell gravel
from the county owned gravel pit to
township within the county or to
adjoining counties for road build
ing purposes, Attorney General
Thomas j. Herbert advised William
M. Summers, Washington county
prosecutor.
The law provides specifically that.
township trustees may sell gravel
and sand from the township pits to-
other subdivisions, but there is no
similar authority granted by the
legislature to the commissioners.
In requesting an opinion, Mr..
Summers said the Washington
county gravel pit was the most de-
sirable source of supply for sew
eral township and some of the ad--.
joining counties.

The following story is printed in
the Tabernacle Tidings bulletin of
the Tabernacle church, Atlanta, Ca,
Rev. Paul S. James, pastor: "It is
reported that the concentration
camp commander at Sachenhausen,
where Martin Niemoller is being
held, is determined to make an
atheist of his famous prisoner, and
to this end placed communist
atheist in the cell next to him, with
permission for them to talk. He al
so arranged for these two men to
take their daily half hour walk at
the same time and in the same yard
The atheist was a very intellectual
person, skilled in argument He
had been promised all sorts of ia
vors' if he could make Niemoller
lose his faith. Each prisoner enjoy
ed presenting his own viewpoint.
This lasted four days. On the fifth
day, the atheist begged Niemoller
to lend him his Bible, Book that
now assumed a new meaning to
him. The very same day the atheist
was moved to another CELL"
