FATS AND OILS ARE MAJOR
SHORTAGES

Fats and oils are major world
shortage, according to statement
recently made by spokesmen for the
Famine Emergency Committee Gre
ated by President Truman to avert
starvation among the liberated peo-
ples of Europe and Asia. While this
world shortage of fats and oils is re-
flected in the United States by redur-
ed production of soap, and other in
dustrial products, In countries otLe'
than the Americas there is in addi-
ton, grave dearth of food fats
which are a prime essential to ma1c-
tain health. obviously" comments
the American Fat Salvage Committee
I'VE cannot use waste from Ameri-
can kitchens to feed the starving pet
pies of the world, but every Ameri'
can woman CAN save her cooking
fats for reuse. After she has gotten
the food values out of them SHE
should turn in her used fats for ir-
dustria; uses. This will mean that in
dustry will not have to make a
great OeIudUuS OH Tic OFSi all ouPpfy
of available fats and oils and tina,
more food fats can go to feed the
starving.
ut is apparent in an overall world
deficit of fats and oils, such as is re-
ported by the Department of Agricu''
ture and the Famine Emergenc,
Committee, that every pound of fa
that can be released from industrial
use is needed for food. Therefore
consistent salvage of used househoi.
grease will make available more foo,
fat supplies, by providing industria
fats and oils for the United States.
Collections of used kitchen fat
are currently averaging approximate
ly 100000 pounds a month for ill
dustrial uses that normally would b.
wasted. In terms of our own needs a.
we'll as the world economy, it is al
most criminal to waste fats and OF!
these days, yet millions of pounds .
used kitchen grease are still goinl
thrown away or poured down tn

Meat dealers are authorized to pa,

RUSSIA GROWLs

At the pace we are travelling the
United States may return to pre-war
opinions about Soviet Russia before
long. Evidently Winston Churchill
has already lost his respect for the
Stain Government, and the Russians
don't like him, either. They charge
tkat he is trying to incite a war
against the Soviets.
Just before the recent war the So
viets were carrying out one of their
"5-year" plans and that was to Com
munize the World. When the Ger
mans were at the gates of Moscow,
the Americans turned the tides that
brought about the defeat of the Axis.
Sovie tRussia boiled over with enthu-
siastic expressions of thanks.
All went fairly well until the AL
lied Nations began conferences that
brought about the organization OF
the United Nations. Russia's delega-
ton to the San Francisco Conference
began to behave like pack of row.
dies. Former Prime Minister Church
i'll was about right when he told his
American audiences that there was
grave doubt as to whether the Soviets
intend, or ever would, come to an
agreement with the United States
and Gerat Britain. While the United
States is not ready to accept Church
ills bid for an Anglo-American al
lance matters are so troublesome
that the United States is getting
ready to tell the Russians Where To

What is Promotion!
"HE usual concept of promotion

THE usual concept of promotion
has to do with desire for prog
IL ress along material lines, and,
therefore, implies limitation and the
possibility that the promotion may
not come to pass. This, in itself, is q
defeatist attitude and not one of ad-
vancement.
A true sense of promotion is an abb
solute knowledge of how to rise to
greater dignity through the daily ex-
ample of demonstrating Gods idea,
perfect man. All too often those seek
ing promotion are too immersed in
man-made theories and need the light
of spiritual understanding to demon
strate true advancement. The correct
concept of God leads men out of ma
terial modes of thinking and living
into the glorious realization of con-
tinuous opportunity for growth in
that spiritual perfection which is
mans heritage. The upward urge
leads onward to greater and higher
attainment. Mary Baker Eddy writes
in Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" Up. 239), ITO ascer-
tain our progress, we must learn
where our affections are placed and
whom we acknowledge and obey as
God" She adds, "The objects we
pursue and the spirit we manifest
reveal our standpoint, and show
what we are winning"
This elevated thinking makes il
possible for Gods man, wherever he
is serving. to know that real promo
tion is that which leads him onward
spiritually to know the Godlike quail
tiles of true being, and to prove his
knowledge in his daily living. This
brings its own reward, its own pro-
gression into higher, purer, more
spiritual realms of thought. Christ
Jesus had something to say about
true promotion. He told his listeners
luke 14:1D, "Whosoever exalteth
himself shall be abased; and he that
hurnbleth himself shall be exalted"
Under Gods law, we can continu-
ally express activity and understand
ing, progressing Spiritward. AS our
understanding that God is Love, di-
vine Principle, increases, our recog-
milton of good increases. Thus each
hour can be one of progress, and of
orderly unfoldment of good in hui
man experience. Holding thought
constantly to the spiritual and true
is a real accomplishment, especially
when one seems to be surrounded by
material thinkers; but it can be done,
and each step forward is real gain,
and strengthens, our courage, conf
dence, and high purpose. 1t raises us
to a broader, higher realm of thought
apart from the pull of materiality,
and guides us by the healing light
of Truth, which reveals the purity,
kindness, intelligence, wisdom, hon
esty, and steadfastness of purpose
which are always ours. This is pro-
motionl This is real advancementl-

A FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY FOR
CECIL COUNTY

Shall we have a Public Library for
Cecil County? The county will have
a county library when the citizens of
the county decide that the project is
needed and gain the cooperation of
the County Commissioners.
A new Maryland Library Law (Bill
No. 543) was passed by the Legisla-
ture at their last meeting. The law
was set up by group of library ex-
perts appointed by the Governor as
part of the State Planning Commis-
sion. This law is safe in the amount
of funds to be provided, safe in the
type of qualified personnel to be ap-
pointed, safe in the care and direc-
tion of library property, and safe in
the designated ways in which library
funds could lawfully be spent.
What Service Will u County Library
Give?
A county library would service
every person wishing reading mater
ial anywhere in the county. All towns
of the county would have a library
with an amount of permanent refer
ecne books plus a quantity of loaning
books such as fiction and popular
reading materials. Small communi-
ties would have a supply of popular
reading material if they so desired.
Wherever a smaller group of neigh
bors wished library service a sub-sta-
ton could be formed at a grocery
store OF any available place in a COM
munity. People in remote areas of the
county would have mail service from
the library. In this way every person
of the county would have an oppor-
tunity to use the library services.
Every school would have an exchange
of library materials and the advice
and help of the county librarian.
There is much more service from
county library than just the loaning
of books. A librarian will give advice,
make lists of references, supply those
references and help in locating any
reference one might need. A good Ii
brary will also supply large quanti-
ty of picture materials suitably cata-
logued and listed on any number Of
subjects. A good library will also
provide at least an hour once week
for story hour at which time child
rem are encouraged to attend and be-
come better acquainted with books
and stories. A librarian will care for
old books of tke county so that they
will be properly stored and repaired
and kept for future generations.
What Does The Library Law
Specifically List?
/. A Board of Library Trustees
for each county, seven in number,
will be appointed by the Governor.
2. The County Commissioners
would have the right to levy a tax
of not less than two cents on each
one hundred dollars (S100.00) Of as
sessed valuation of taxable property
8. A State-aid fund for books is
available as soon as the county Ii
brary is established. This fund is bas-
ed on the latest Federal Census,
eight cents COSY per copita for the
county.
4. All money obtained by levy shall
be used for the current operations of
the county library and not for the
purchase of land, the erection of
buildings, or for debt reduction.
5. The librarian shall be appointed
by the Board of Library Trustees
and must meet the standards for
State certification of Librarians. As
sistant Librarians for each town will
be appointed by qualification. Those
already serving in such positions
would be eligible to continue.

USE CHICKENS

The abundant supply of broilers
and fryers, together with the need
for reduction of poultry flocks to
avert Feed shortages, means that a
concerted campaign among all con-
sumers, both rural and urban, can
assure the best use of the available
poultry meat. This is the season not
only to serve chicken at dinner or
supper during the week, but also for
canning or freezing home supply
for later use.

TRAGED1EsuF STRIKES
BY j. e. Jones

Washington, d. c., March. 18--As-
sociated Press dispatches may be re-
lied upon. A few days ago that great
organization said the General Motors
strike has already piled up financial
loss to labor and the industry of Il
billion dollars. During sixteen week
175,00N production workers lost in
wages $3.50, 900, 900; to car merchan-
disers and statesmen in different parts
of the country 10000, 700. Statesmen
and dealers throughout the entire
country have been knocked fat be-
cause they have had no cars to sell.
Nobody seems to be able to settle
these strikes.
In former years when all else fail
ed, the Government found way. Has
our Government lost it's power and
force to protect it's industries and its
workers against the tragedies o.
strikes, that are managed by IA few
labor leaders who are able to hold
hundreds of thousands of workers
away from their jobs? There may be
something "rotten in Denmark" and

The Lumber Shortage
Who .esale and retail lumbermen
who have been in Washington told a
Seante Committee about Tie shortage
of lumber that is affecting home
building.
Undoubtedly some of the price
policies and funny-doodles of the
OPA have had too much to do with
the shortage.
Twenty-Five years ago the lumber
| industry and Government forest ag
ents warned the Administration and
Congress that the Nation was ap-
proachig a lumber shortage. A lot
of statesmen of that day didn't listen
because they had been told years and
years before, in their youth, that the
forests of the United States were ''in
exhaus.ible." But nobody believes
that stuff any more.
Congress won't do anything about
it now, so far as the numbering indus
try is concerned. Abuot all that can
be expected is that numbering opera
tions may be controlled" on Govern
ment reservations and forests. Our
forests are fading and lumber is on
the way out. Everybody knows it,.
Sevente en- witnesses who are experts
on trees and forests related their
honest opinions to Congress.
