SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug. 3O.-P)-
A sharp conflict over prices is
raging in the great t%urpentlne in
dustry OF the south, which sup
plies this vital commodity for
much of the world.
Oh one side are turpentine and
rosin producers who are members
of the powerful American Turpen'
tine Farmers association.
On the other side is the his
toric Savannah Naval Stores ano
Cotton exchange, for IS years rec
ognized as the world market for
naval stores.
The Farmers association broke
with the exchange in May, l947
charging that it has outlived its
usefulness," and contending it,
quotations mo longer constitute
an accurate index of gum nava
stores supply and demand"
The decision followed a period
of wild fluctuation in which tur
pentine scared from wartime cell
ing levels Of 1875 cents a gallon
to a high Of $1.55, and Their
slumped as low as 50 cents. Har
ley Langdale, president of the
Farmers association, said produc
ers would sell turpentine at {
fixed price of IS cents a gallon
and advised members to put thell
turpentine under government loa1
at 60.8 per gallon rather than sci
it at depressed prices.
The challenge vas met by Dir

Seeking the Best in Life

SOLOMON, by his own testimony,
- missed much of the finer things
of life; but he admonishes the read
er to profit by his mistake and seek
the best in life. For example, in
chapter 2, verse "a, Solomon says:
There is nothing better for a man,
than that he should eat and drink.
and that he should make his soul
enjoy good in his labour.'
Every boy and girl in the world
knows the joy of honest work, at
least ! hope so. Have you grown
a beautiful flower? A vegetable
garden? Cut cord of fire wood?
Then you know that work is one
of the essential ways of seeking
the best in life.
Then Solomon comes to the first
eight verses of the last chapter-a
golden section for memory. It is
one of the first passages of Scrip.
ture I ever learned. l trust every
young person reading this column
will commit that passage to mem
ory, if you have not already done so.

Painting Cellar Floor

Rubber base paints frequently
are used for painting cement floors
and Easements, because they are
resistant to alkai which would ad-
versely affect some other types of
paint. Before applying rubber base
paints to a cement floor. any old
paint should be removed with paint
remover, all residue from the paint
remover washed off with turpentine
or mineral spirits, and the floor
thoroughly dried out. A further pre-
caution before painting cement Gel
lar floors, either new or old, is to
etch them with muriatic acid solu.
ton in the proportion of about one
pint of acid to one gallon of water.
If the acid solution is used the floor
should be well rinsed to remove
traces of the acid and then thor
oughly dried before painting. Two
coats of the rubber base paint then
can be applied, being careful that
the first coat is dry before the Sec
ond coat is applied.

Words Of Wisdom

THE next section of Sundays les.
L son brings us to one Of Solo.
mons greatest confessions. He says,
chapter 3, verse IA: II know. that,
whatsoever God doeth, it shall be
forever; nothing can be put to it,
nor anything taken from it; and God
doeth it, that men should fear before
him."
We do well to remember that
God is, and that he is good, and
that he is sovereign. "This is our
Fathers world" wrote Maltbie
BabcOck. Here is a truth for to-
day. In our dismay over the
atomic bomb, we are about to for
get that God intended for man to
discover atomic energy, and he
expected man to have enough
moral stamina to use this discOv-
cry for his good and Gods glory.
Which brings us to the heart OF
the Preachers message, chapter IL,
verse 13: LET us hear the conclu-
sion of the whole matter; fear God,
and keep his commandments; for
this is the whole duty of man."
Arizona sun., 1947-09-26

around fine. Jed Miley down at the
post office told me his wife was like
that and as long as they didn't get
any excitement or shock they could
live to be hundred. Martha all
ways rested when told her but she
never really rested even when she
was lying down. Her mind was
working. She was thinking how she
could make the town know what a
great husband she had. I tried to
explain that it didn't matter as long
as we were happy. But she kept on
being riled. I just kind Of hoped
something big would happen to me
for Martha's sake.
Well, sir, it was like the hand of
fate. Something big did happen at
last. At least, it was big to Martha
and me. Mr.. Clawson, the presi-
dent of the mill, was getting up a
dinner in honor of the town council
and asked me to make speech!
When came home and told Mar
tha that evening she nearly jumped
out of her skin. had never made
a speech before in my life. I was
scared stiff at the thought Of it. But
Martha was going to prove every
thing she had said about me,
through that speech. I just had to
show Mister Clawson and the colln-
cilmen she was right.
The dinner was two weeks off and
