BOUND FOR GLORY

I'm going home to glory
Come hear my happy story
Of the lov'd ones will meet
There upon the golden street
The redeemed of God rejoices
Singing with happy voices
With not sorrow or care
In that glory will share.
I'm going to that sweet home
No more in this world I'll roam
Oh what glory now I feel
For Jesus to me is real
No more shadows on my brow
No more SHARES and burdens now
For soon in that sainted band
I'll sing in the glory land.
That sweet day is coming soon
Tho it come at night or noon
I'll be singing the story
Of Jesus and His glory
Farewell vain world I'll leave you
Friends I must bid you adieu
And soar to that golden strand
To sing in the glory band.
Praise the Lord I'm bound for
glory
Won't you come under the blood
And we'll sing the old sweet story
To that sweet happy home so fair
To mansion in the sky
Where the Saints immortal and
fair
Live with Christ and never die.

Warrington, D. C.-During the
past few weeks heated discussions
have developed among congress-
men over lend-lease-how long
it should be continued and
whether or not we should expect
repayment from our Allies.
In a recent report on lend-lease
the President made his position
clear - that we shouldn't worry
about repayment at this time, if
ever. In stating that over % bill
lion dollars worth of goods and
services have now gone into lend
lease, and urging that lend-lease
be continued at full scale until
both Germany and Japan have
surrendered, the President said:
"The ultimate measurement of
the aid that we have given, and
have received, is not to be found
in the dollar figures of lend-lease
or reverse lend-lease. Nor can it
be found in any dollar figures,
since human lives as well as mat
erial resources are involved in
the accounting. It can only be
found in terms ofsthe battles won,
the millions Of enemy troops Kill
led and captured and the hun
dreds of thousands of lives saved
because the United Nations have
have successfully combined all
their resources is men and mat
erals for winning victory"
Leo Crowley, head of the For
eign Economic administration, was
even more specific on the question
of repayment, when, following the
Presidents report, he said: "Since
lend-lease materials is being used
against our mutual enemy, it is
questionable whether our Allies
should be required to repay U.S."
Some members of congress feel
quite differently about this, how
ever. Senator Mcclellan of Ten
nessee has introduced bill ask
ing that we take over large num-
Der of islands, now owned by our
Allies, in repayment and to give
our country added protection. He
is particularly interested in TAX
ing over islands in the neighbour
hood of the Panama canal. A
number of congressman have
shown that they would support
such a plan.
Newsmen here are greatly puz-
bled over the antitrust action
which the department of justice
has taken against leading rail-
roads and railroad associations,
most of them agree that

or senior in high school do about
his program of studies? The an
swer is ''in military service the job
to which one is assigned" is de-
termined by those who are quail
fled to evaluate interests, atti-
tudes, previous education and
experience. Therefore, a high
school student looking forward to
military service should give seri-
GUS consideration to his or her
school program.
Service in the Army, Navy or
Marines calls for definite deci-
sions. The modern army is one
of specialists. Out of every 100
men indicted into the Army, ap-
proximately 80 are assigned to
duties requiring specialized train
ing. Those SPECIALIZED jobs now
number approximately $50 and
include electricity, auto mechan-
les, radio, radio code, machines,
shopwork, aeronautics, communi
cations, surveying, clerical work
and medicine. It is such a group
of men trained in these, selected
and organized, that make up a
modern combat division.
Certain basic subjects should be
pursued with vigor. English,
social studies, map
reading, health and physical ed
ucation are fundamental subjects.
In foreign languages emphasis
should be placo dsnpon speaking
as well as reading and writing a
language. Faculties in small or
large schools can make necessary
adjustments for any important
basic content. State Departments
of Education or the Pre-Induction
Training Officer of the Fourth
Service Command in Atlanta, will
help any school plan necessary
changes to fulfill the needs of
training.
Ample materials are available
for every teacher concerned to
meet these needs in a most prac-
teal way. Parents should cooper
ate with faculties in every way
possible to help make the revis-
ed programs effective.
War today is very different to
those of the past. Victory now
depends upon the use of science
and machines. Willingness to
fight and a just cause are not
enough. Every soldier must have
the technical skill to operate war
machines effectively. Therefore,
the War Department urges every

it smacks strongly of politics. The
railroads are charged with rate
fixing and with collision in dis
couraging improvements in equip
ment and service.
But it is common knowledge
that all railroad rates must be
approved by the governments
own Interstate Commerce COM
mission which is legally empow-
cred to raise or lower rates. So,
as far as analysts here can see,
the railroads have no opportunity
to get together to fix rates even
if they should want to. And, as
for improvements of equipment
and services, the railroads could
MT get materials for such i'm
provements in wartime The suit.
for example, objects to the rail-
roads not furnishing new air con-
ditioning equipment even though
it is apparent to everyone that
they would be severely criticized
if they tried to get such luxury
equipment in the middle of the
war.
Spokesman on both sides of the
political fence agree that this suit
has a pungent political flavor
particularly in view of the fact
that the railroads probably won't
have a chance to reply in court
until the election is over.

in industrial courses are getting
excellent training. Pre-flight
training is important for those
who will serve in the Air Forces.

revealed the fact that more than
200 jobs require a knowledge of
mechanics, and a course in shop

Timely Hints
BY RUTH CURRENT
State Home Demonstration Agent

Spots and stains on thick mater
ials like mattresses, upholstery,
pillows, heavy rugs, and wall pa
per are often more successfully
removed by drawing out rather
than sponging out. Start remov-
ing the spot promptly while it is
still fresh and moist. Use some
dry absorbing material. Com
mon household materials like
corn starch, white cornmeal, tai
cum powder or salt can all be US
ed to absorb moist stain. Mag
nesia powder and Fuller's earth
can be purchased at drug stores.
Shake the absorbing powder on
the wet spot, brush off with a soft
brush. Repeat until moisture has
been absorbed. Finally cover the
spot with powder and leave for
several hours before brushing off,
Pieces of clean white blottfng pa
per may also be used to draw out
spots.

that Nick eventually would win with

Rovelli cutting Nick's eye in the
fourth. Sensing that it might be
the end, Nick went all out in an ef-
