The news that prices on meats, fresh
and canned vegetables and other things
will be lowered, is heartening. We have
been able, for the most part, to live pref
ty we'll as far as food is concerned, but
oh, the price, For time, we are willing
to pay, but as days go on, most of us
eaters feel that food is not worth the
high prices that are asked. With regula-
tons along these lines it will be a hap
pier time for the food dealer and those
who like their three square meals day.
Budgeting in the family these days has
become a difficult thing. In fact you
can't budget. Most of the weeks salary,
you find, went for food Even pair of
rayon stockings could not be fitted in
with prices soaring from cabbages to
canned corn.

above all earthly powers. But such
belief, does not constitute basis
for religious faith. Religion requires
us not only to believe in an over
arching power but in an overarching
power which reaches down in eager
solicitude to the needy situations
in every individual life. The God we
worship is the God who. loves us,
who watches over us, to whom no
circumstance in our lives is insight
ficant. He is my shepherd" He is
the God of my life" He is my
Heavenly Father. There is nothing
general about Gods providence
it Is very particular.
And all of this, of course, should
be our support every day as we face
trouble, sickness, disappointment, or
defeat. The cross was Gods way OF
showing that He suffers with us,
and the resurrection was His assur-
ance that the spiritual universe is
put together In such way that all
pain, trustfully and righteously en-
dured, will eventuate In an immeas-
urable spiritual triumph.

GENTLY powerful to enable our

and command attention in interna-

adopt compulsory military training.
1t won't be a question of using
the facilities we have paid for just

Thus continued the See-saW Of
personal jealousies, most of them
inspired by the basic fact
that the White House, instead of
appointing a strong Secretary of
Labor, has taken away most of
Miss Perkins powers, creating
other independent labor agencies
which function sometimes in con-
flict with the Labor Department.
Over this maze of labor agencies
there is no authority except the

Selected Poem
BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS

BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS
(Robert Sparks Walter in The New York Times)
A mountain turns the Hudson in its flow,
And sends Potomac searching for the sea-
1t brings a balanced beauty to the low
To plunge through Cardinals tree-clad lands,
Flat country of Virginia, and is free
And bring to Georgia's higher altitude
The vigor of a giant 1t commands
The eagle and her seasons latest brood
To lift their pinons in high ascent
To find the treasures of continent.
