 Dollars Worth Asked
 Second, are we to profit mlli- tarily and economically from a cen tralized command of our armed strength? We must, because of the limited funds available for peace time armament, have the most effective, powerful organization Of our armed forces, and receive a dollars worth of security for every hundred cents invested by the Am erican people. Such efficient ex- penditure can only be achieved through a system wherein there is no unnecessary duplication o1 effort and equipment, and no fran tic competition among branches o1 the service for the development, procurement and employment of the new weapons which we now own or will contrive in the danger ous future.
 Meanwhile the picture remains confused, the taxpayers continue to pay for delay, and thousands of able Americans, needed in our peacetime organization, are leaving the service, unwilling to turn down Lucrative civilian offers for an Army career covered with question marks, and our Air Force faces the same question marks. What will ou1 picture be?"

Washington, D. C., Nov. 28.-Well- known garment manufacturers have come forward with letters express ing their appreciation of the out standing job" done by the Office of Price Administration in stabilizing prices throughout the war, Repre- sentative Chase Going Woodhouse (D.-Conn.) said today.
 Representative Woodhouse, as secretary of the Congressional Com ;nittee for the Protection of Con- sumers, is one of the sponsors ot the exhibit Price Control Protects Your Dollar" now on display in the Caucus Room (Room 362) of the Old House Office building. Other sponsors are the Consumer Advis- ory Committee to OPA, and sev- eral national consumer organiza- tions. Part of the exhibit is given over to reproductions of manufac- turers' letters to the Consumer Ad- yisory Committee.
 'The exhibit does two things, y Rep. Woodhouse explained. "It shows samples of the good-quality merchandise manufacturers have been able to turn out under price control. And it gives the pubic a chance to read what manufac- turers themselves think of price control. Their letters have an 1n1- portant and encouraging story to tell.
 '~These manufacturers recognize the need for price control, not only to protect the pocketbookS of con- sumers, but also to save their own businesses from the uncertainty or rising costs. They write that they nave been able to produce profit ably under price control. They em- phasize that throughout price con- trol they have made clothes of good quality at about the same prices as in 1942.
 q think manufacturers are Ill an- excellent position to judge the good that price control has done. I'm sure both Congress and the public will be interested in what they nave to say"
 Excerpts From Letters
 Excerpts from some ot the let- ters shown in the exhibit follow:
 Arthur M. Berger, general man. ager, Hoover Manufacturing and Sales Company, New York-"I have noticed in the New York press pno- tographs of an exhibit to be pre- sented to Congressmen to show the inequalities of the Office of Price Administration pricing program.
 "There are sure to be some ln- eaualities in such 8 gigantic task but I hope that the work of tne OPA is not goingn to be judged by microscopic sample of the whole.
 Our company manufacturers oc- cupational cotton apparel. we nave the same range of prices at the present time that we had III l94z. While piece goods prices and laoor have advanced, there were sui ficient resulting economies by virtue of the War Production Board re- strictions in yardage and less ex- pensiye decorative trimmings 10 permit us to maintain our prlce range. These economies did not impair the utility of the garment.
 If there had been no price con- trol legislation, it is my opinion that prices for our type of product wound have increased drastically. irrespective of the deterioration oI quality. If there is anything to fear more than fear itself It is inflation."
 Tragedy Averted
 Samuel L. Deitsch, Deitsch, Wer- sba and Coppola, New York-"1 feel that it would amount to tragedy 10 make the mistake of removing price control before production and supply are in accord with present

tree in Matthew 24:32.
AnsWer-Let us read it: CHOW learn
a parable of the fig tree; When his
branch is yet tender, and putteth
forth leaves, We know that summer
Is nigh" In Luke 21:29 it is written:
"Aud He sraEe 10 them a parableg
Behold the tie tree and an the trees"
The green leaves Oh the fig tree ans
all the frees are a sign oil summer
So the signs which Christ has e.ys7
are evidences OF the coming Kingdom
Of God.
Q.-What is tie meaning Of "Je
hcVah-nissi," and where is it founc
in the Bible?
Att is in Exodus 1915 and means
"the Lord lis my banner" This name
was given by Noses to the altar built
in commemorat.on Of the victory over
the Amalekites. Exodus 17:8l5.
Glow could Moses write laws
when, according to authorities, men
were not yet civilized enough 10
write, much less make laws?
A.-WAat authorities? Such an idea
might have been published one hum
dred years ago, but modern archae-
ology has proved a state Of high civil
ization in the days of Moses. In 1901
De Morgan discovered carved on a
great obelisk the famous code of laws
of Hammurabi, a king who lived hun
dreds Of year before Noses. So mod
eln discoveries prove the Bible true.
C.-What was the mark put u.on
Cam?
A.-Read Genesis 4:t4, IS. The
original words, literally rendered, are,
"The Lord gave a sign, a token, a
pledge, 20 Cam, that no one who
found him should kill him." That is,
God assured him of his personal
safety. Just what that sign or token
was, we are not told.
o.-AII do not have the same en-
Vifonment and heritage, so how can
God hold them equally responsible In
the Judgment?
An Gods record of mans life,
his birthplace, etc, are taken into con-

Sunday next, April LIST, is Easter
Day, and religious festival of re-
joicing. 1t should afford an opportue
nifty at this time for all Americans
of the Christian faith to rejoice not
only for that which Easter stands,
but also for the fact that we are free
to worship as we like without dicta-
torial interference. 1t is suck relig-
ious festivals that give us the oppor-
tunity to appreciate our Democratic
form of government and to deter
mine that no selfish individual shall
take it away from us. There is no
danger of interference with religious
freedom if we Americans will think
clearly for ourselves and not be
swayed by the false claims of the
various "isms" which tend only to
destroy that freedom of religious
worship which was one Of the lead
ing factors in the establishing of our
democracy.

MESSAGE OF IMMORTAL HOPE

Easter kas become the symbol of
the bright side of life-the joy, the
good, the light, the immortal hope
of humanity. 1t is ushered in with
the songs of birds, the renewed
grasses, the greening trees, the flow
ers, the refreshing rains, the smell
of the growing fields, the wine-like
zephyrs of spring, the rebirth of
Love and the responding joy in the
hearts of men. 1t is day long look
ed for, eagerly expected, hallowed by
dreams and visions. 1t is day of
new and promising futurity. Easter
and it's attendant vistas of blossom
ing Nature is the yearly promise
bringer. The shadows of the past
take fight before its radiance. Were
we unhappy yesterday? Today that
1t forgotten. Easter is the dawn of a
joy year. All things are possible
again.

NErGHBoRs JOIN HANDS

The war emergency has stimulated
small farmers to "join hands" with
neighbors in establishing group SER
vices that none of them could afford
individually. Farm organizations and
agricultural agencies have encour-
aged them to do SO.
Last year, with Farm Security Ad-
ministration assistance, t,499 neigh
borhood group services were estab-
lished serving S,487 families. In each
group, members pooled funds to buy
equipment or blooded sires which
each needed on his farm, but which
would not be profitable for one of
the farmers to own and use alone.
About 1000 of the groups obtained
tractors, trucks for picking UP milk,
threshers, peanut pickers and other
equipment. Some 400 of the groups
bought high qaulity sires for improv-
ing their livestock.
Including these newly formed
groups, about 1900 neighborhood
services were in operation last year
The groups are informal and unin-
corporated. Their members are
neighbors who have entered into
agreements to share ownership and
use of needed facilities Some are
borrowers from FSA, some are not.
FSA makes group service loans,
on an individual basis, to families
who need financial assistance to pay
their share. FSA Supervisors also
offer advice and guidance IL the
group needs these. No financial help
was needed in about 40 percent of
the groups formed in the last year.
In 1914 FSA advanced a total of
/ $685., 800 in group service loans.
large proportion of the farmers
who had borrowed from FSA in pre-
vious years to participate In group
services have repaid their loans in
full, and FSA finds that most OF
these groups have gained the exper-
ience needed to continue such acti-
sities without further guidance.
