declared, he would have had a

staying with the newspaper or the
radio station he used to work for
instead Of going into Owl.
Naturally, it annoys those men,

BarkIey Fears Effect
Of Strike Curb Bill on
Little Steel Formula
Majority Leader Doubts
Wisdom Of Measure Even
WLB Is Protected
By ]. A. O'LEARY,

Majority Leader Barkley ex-
pressed fear today that the Con-
nally bill to confer specific power
on the President to take over
war plants or mines to avoid
labor tie-ups might have the ef-
feet of scrapping the little
steel" IS per cent wage increase
limit. since it sets up a new wage
fixing board.
AS the Senate began debate on the
measure, Senator Barkley. just back
after brief illness, indicated he
was still doubtful of the wisdom
of passing the bill, even If amended
to preserve the status of the exist
ing War Labor Board.
He took the view that the bill
confers authority the President
already possesses and which he
already has exercised.
The new defense wage board, pro-
posed as part of the bill, would
consist of three members appointed
by the President, and confirmed by
the Senate. The threat to the Little
Steel formula was seen by Senator
Barkley in the authority that would
be given this new board to make
such wage adjustments as it found
desirable in the public interest.
Stirred by Coal Dispute.
A burial ground for nearly two
years of restrictive labor measures
passed by the House, the Senate
gave signs of having been stirred
by the coal controversy into a de-
termination to take drastic action
against labor leaders who induce
workers to leave their jobs in the
mines or war factories.
Senator Connally himself may
offer an amendment dealing with
labor leaders.
Senator Hill of Alabama, the
majority whip. told reporters he
thought the Connally bill would
pass speedily, although he refused
to commit himself on the labor
leader amendment until he had seen
Its form.
There remained a possibility that
action on the measure would be
delayed by last nights truce in
the soft coal dispute, or by a fight
over a proposal of Senator Wheeler,
Democrat. of Montana, to ban
further inductions of pre-Pearl
Harbor fathers into the armed forces
this year.
Hill Will Fight Proposal.
Senator Wheeler has said he may
offer this as an amendment to the
Connally bill, since that measure
Is itself technically an amendment
to the Selective Service Act.
Senator Hill said he would op-
pose the Wheeler proposal. and
other administration lieutenants
said they were confident they could
defeat it.
But Senator Taft Republican. of
Ohio said he was considering offer
ing the House-approved Kilday bill
as substitute for the Wheeler pro-
posal and asking for vote on that
measure. which would revise the
draft law to prevent the induction
of fathers while single men in their
States remain available.

Queried on Specific Cases.
The committee interviewed Mr..
Davis on more than a dozen in
dividual cases. ranging from the
classification of former Represent
ative Eliot of Massachusetts,, who is
now with Owl, to the reason for
requesting the deferment of men
classified in 4-C as enemy aliens. and
later put in IA and 2-B at Owl
request.

fully employed by Owl than they
would be in the armed forces.

In 1929 we bought from l. G. Farbenindus-

Germany.
During the 193Os these processes were fur

improved, the range of its use wdened
In 1939-two years before Pearl Harbor-
we bought out all German rights in Buna
processes for the U. S. A. Soon after, two
large tire companies took out licenses. We
also began building Buna rubber plant of

When war threatened the loss of our coun-
trys natural rubber supply, authorities
agreed that Buna-S was Americas best bet
for tires. 1t became the basis of the Gov

Today the Government is spending over
100000 on its Buna-S program. Six
rubber plants are in operation. BY the end

much too high to meet the war situa.
ton of 1943. Last year more than
81 billion dollars of our soaring ma
tional income went to feed the de-
sires Of Americans for clothes, rec
reation, foods and luxuries. AS these
items grow scarcer, more of our in
come must be diverted from such
expenses into government bonds.
During 1912 millions of our fathers,
sons, relatives and friends were in
training here and abroad. Some
were already in action. Casualties
were beginning to bite into every
community. War Bonds became a
vital link between the home and
fighting fronts.
Today sacrifice has become way
of life for Americas fighting men.
Civilian spending on the 1912 scale
must 60 out the window if the home
folks are to attempt to match the
heroism of our boys at the front.
Not every American can take his
place in a bomber o. in a foxhole
or on a fighting ship but he can fire
away at the enemy by lending
money to the government.

A program for preventing dairy

been started by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, according to
T. H. Sears, Farm S curity
Administrator Supervisor for
Ashe County. The new program
is part of the Departments drive

production.
Mr.. Sears said this program
conducted by FSA with Com

sufficient need exists.
Three methods will be used to
keep COWS in production. First,

life. It releases the individual
believer from the limitations OF
the flesh so that the grace Of
God may have free course in the
soul. In death, Christians are
emptied of all that is carnal and
worldly and filled with all the
fullness of God whereby they will
be enabled to reach the measure
of the statue of the fullness of
Christ.
This blessed season brings a
firmer faith in holy things. 1t
strengthens the tender chord OF
love that binds us to the life to
come where loved ones and all
the saints of God made perfect
in holiness await us in the heav-
emily home. Yes, Easter reveals
that death to the Christian is a
going home to be with Christ,
where we will see Him as He is
and have full, free and unbroken
fellowship with Him throughout
ali ages.
Easter gives us the assurance
of living Lord who is touched
with the feeling of our infirmi-
ties and has invited us to come
boldly unto the throne of grace,
that we may obtain mercy, and
find grace to help in time of need.
Our living Lord will not attend
us in our earthly needs, but will
keep us from falling and in the
end, present us faultless before
the presence Of His glory, where
we will be perfectly blessed to the
full enjoyment of God to all eter-
nifty.
Easter makes heaven real to us.
Heaven is a city without tears,
for God wipes away all tears. It
is city without pain, without
sorrow, without sickness, without
death. 1t is a city where all the
inhabitants are as pure as the
light every saint in Heaven
is as a flower in the Garden of
God, and holy love is the frag-
rance and sweet odor that they
all send forth, and with which
they fill the bowers of that Para
disc above" Jonathan Edwards.)

Lesson In Brief
BY REV. b. A. MEEKS

Subject: "The Risen Lord.
Bible Passage: John 20: LII.
Golden Text: "He is risen" -
Mark 1876.
What does Easter mean to you?
Beautiful service in some stately
church decorated in Easter lilies
- inspiring music, pulpit message
on the Blessed Hope, richly-clad
worshippers united in songs of
praise unto the risen Christ?
Does it mean the end of the cold
gray clouds of long winter
months? Does it mean the well
come of warm blue skies of
spring, the warm gentle showers
causing the flowers to bloom and
the trees to bud? If this is all
that Easter means, we are of all
people, most miserable.
That first Easter Morning was
the dawning of new day for
that little band of followers OF
the Lord Jesus and for all their
descendants. On this day. all the
claims of Christ to be the Son of
God were indicated. 1t meant
His ultimate victory as the Sa-
viour of the world. It meant the
releasing of humanity from the
power of death. 1t meant the
breaking of the deathly grip OF
satan on humanity. 1t meant that
no longer was death the 'King
of terrors", but the gateway to
the realization of the highest
hopes of all believers.
Easter has taken the sting out
of death. No longer is death
looked upon as the ultimate end,
but only the beginning. The res
direction of our Lord proved that
death does not annihilate the
body nor the soul. Death may
and does change the form of the
body, but does not reduce it to
nonentity. Death may convert
the enerby or force of the soul,
but does not reduce it to nonenti-
ty. The essence, the personal,
the consciousness and the identi-
ty of the soul survives all chang
es made by human death.
Easter brings to light the
brighter side of death and shows
that death is gain to the Christ
ian rather than loss. Death
brings about a cessation Of care,
of change, of strife, of struggle,
and carries beyond the reach OF
disease and sorrow and suffering.
It is laying aside of that which
limits and hinders, setting the
Christian free to be made per.
feet in holiness and live a larger,
fuller, richer, grander and noble

ming to play an important part in
the production of Ashe county
hays. /,
In the past, very little sericea
lespedeza was planted in the
county and only one farmer,
Fieldon Shepherd, whose farm is
located up Little Horse creek,
used it for hay. Mr.. Sheppard
has cut good crop Of hay off of
his field of sericea for the past
eight years, and the stand is bet
ter today than when he first
started cutting it.
Sericea can be planted at any
time during April or May. The
earlier planting will have more
time to develop a strong root
system and will make better
growth the second year.
Good land preparation is an
important factor in the success
or failure of sericea. After the
land has been thoroughly prepar-
ed, best results can be obtained
by narrowing the land with a
spike-tooth harrow or rolling
with a culipacker just before
seeding. Thirty pounds of scar
rified seed per acre is recon-
mended. 1t is not necessary to
cover the seed, and they should be
planted alone and not with a
mixture.
