Greater front end strength has
been achieved through improved
sheet-metal suspension and heavier
construction. Tenders are heavier,
wider and of new design which
provides greater tire clearance. An
other design advancement is heavy
channel-steel front bumper attached
directly to extend frame side rails.
The bumper is, in effect an extra
cross member providing greater
rightly and impact strength.
Driver comfort is one of the first
considerations in the new trucks.
Advanced cab design provides liv-

and better ventilation.
The new cab provides up to seven
inches greater width and also more
headroom. The door has been moved
forward to provide better clearance
when leaving and entering. Wea-
Their proofing has been improved
and the hardware is heavier.
A one piece windshield provides
increased visibility. The rear win
dow has been enlarged. Other cab
improvements include new coach

March OF Dimes Aids
In Fight Against Polio

Today the finest of treatment is
ready and waiting for any victim of
polio, reported Mrs. j. K Mcdowell,
State Representative of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis,
and Sgt. Robert Henrion, U. S. Army
Recruiting Service, co-chairman of
the Kinds County March of Dimes.
These two workers pointed out that
as recently as 1914 not hospital
in Mississippi would accept case
of polio in the acute stage, whereas
now there are two modern treat
ment centers established in general
hospitals and an emergency hospital
in readiness in case of an epidemic.
These have all bee made possible,
they said, by funds provided through
the March of Dimes.
when the terrible epidemic of
polio struck our state in 1916, we
had 343 cases." Mrs. Mcdowell said
"All of them received medical care
and were hospitalized. Over $375,000
has been sent to Mississippi from
National Foundation to assist us. No
citizen was called upon to help bear
the financial burden. We do not treat
polio briefly in the acute stage and
then forget it. After the acute stage
of the illness has passed, the real,
long and expensive fight begins"
Emphasizing the need for physical
therapy. orthopedic surgery, correc-
tions and adjustments if permanent
Gripping is to be avoided, Sgt. Hen
rion stated that the cost of such
treatment over the year is stagger-
ing. The expense of the 1916 epide-
mic will be approximately million
dollars before the last case is check
ed out, he said. Urging people to
arouse themselves to action in the
battle against polio, Sgt. Henrion
declared eve can't fight disease un-
less we have equipment and finan-
cial resources to support an about
effort, and the March of Dimes pro-
vides every American an opportuni-
ty to take part in the fight. This fund
is trust fund the people have pro-
vided for themselves, just as many
families provide trust funds for
their children's education. The
March of Dimes is our protection
against polio"

Senator John Kyle, Sardis, who
had held the job before, was an
nounced as chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee, by Lieut. Gov.
Lumpkin, who said he will have
other committee assignments ready
this week.
In the House, Speaker Sillers let
it be known that Rep. Hilton Waits

several appropriation bills, holding
them on reconsideration until this
week; one reappropriated funds for
the state office building, the others
reappropriated smaller funds.

Jesus Teaches About God

IN THIS great story we see Jesus,
wearied from the days arduous
tasks, sitting on the curb. Of
Jacobs well, resting. The disciples
had gone across the valley to the
village to buy food. The woman
comes to draw water from the his.
toric well. She did not notice Jesus
until he spoke to her. He is never
too busy, never too weary. to seek
to bring all men to knowledge oil
Gods love.
He asked for q drink Of water.
That was his way Of making con-
tact with her. She drew back,
wondering why Jew would speak
to q woman in public. But Jesus
got past the immediate wall which
she threw up between herself and
him, and soon was teaching her
the way Of everlasting life, to
which she responded with graft
tude.

How We Worship God


N Jesus led the woman of Sychar
to understand true worship. Strange
ly enough, she knew a good deal
about Jewish rites and ceremonies,
but she had never known the basic
truth that "God is Spirit; and they
that worship him must worship him
in spirit and in truth"
Included in the record Of how
Jesus taught the woman to wOr-
ship was the necessity Of confess
ing her sin, having five husbands,
and living at the moment with
still another man. We cannot wor-
ship God II there Is unc0nfessed
sin in our hearts.
We often miss the JOY Of true
worship because we fail to confess
our sins. God looketh upon the
heart. If there is sin in our hearts,
it must be forgiven.
Our Need OF God
oTF YE live after the flesh, ye
shall de-" Romans 8:13. Here
is a solemn truth that many seem
to forget - apart from God we are
dead. The young person who under
takes to live with eating food will
soon discover that his body is vast
ing away and his mind is broken
and dissipated. Just so with the
spirit of man. We are spiritual crea-
lures, made in the image of God.
If we live by the flesh. we die spirit
ually.
In the preceding chapters in Re-
mans. Paul has shown how SIN
worketh death. He sets forth the
penalties that result from carnal
thinking and behavior. But in the
10th verse he comes on to say:
at is the Spirit himself bear
ing witness with our spirit that
we are the sons of God, or chill!
dren of God" Romans S:l6.
Strong ir the Lcrd
nUR age has made much OF
~ might might that expresses
itself in speed We think in terms
of atomic power. This lesson woulo
help us to understand that we may
be strong in the Lord. All power is
with him. IAN power hath beer
given me in heaven and on earth,
said Jesus.
And this leads us to the climax
of Sundays lesson, when Paul de
clares:
"FOr am persuaded, that
neither death, nor life, nor angels,
nor principalities, nor powers,
nor things present, nor things to
come, nor height, nor depth. nor
any other creature, shall be able
to separate us from the love Of
God, which Is in Christ Jesus our
Lord" Romans 1888, 80.
Satan had the woman of Sycha
completely in his power until III
grace of God lifted her feet upol
the Rock of Ages. She could thel
stand in the midst of the people O
Sychar and declare that she ha,
met One who had released her fron
the bondage of sin. That is wha
