Fubric History
More than 1000 clothing fab
RIGS sold in dry goods stores dur
ing the recent war have been stu
died by textile specialists, in an
effort to launch a new kind of
history telling what is happening
TO quality in this country's fab
rics from year to year, and es-
pecially the effect of war on fab
RIGS made for civilians.
Little information of this kind,
showing trends. has been gathered
heretofore. say the cooperating
specialists in their report on quail
ity of woven fabrics they bought
and studied in 1944-46. The war
time goods were bought in cities
and towns of five areas, by spec
ialists in the Bureau of Human
Nutrition and Home Economics
of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. Pennsylvania State col
lege, University of Tennessee.
University of Minnesota, and
Washington State college.
Briefly this study shows for the
record that during the recent war
materials were considerably more

For NC claimants in Mississippi

II the claimant is working less

Absences from work for any
reasons other than lack of work

Heart Disease

Heart disease heads all causes
of death according to national,
state and local vital statistics,
states Mrs. Annette S. Boutwell,,
Extension health education spec
ialist.
In Mississippi last year, 1000
people died from heart disease,
according to DR.. Felix J. Under
wood, State Health officer. An
other 1000 will probably die from
the same cause this year.
Have a thorough physical ex-
animation every year to detect
possible heart disease.
The death rate can be reduced
only by detecting heart diseases
early. beginning proper medical
treatment and cooperating fully
with the doctors ADVICE
A person with heart trouble
must not resign his fate as end
ed. Many people continued to
live normally and comfortably
who have impaired hearts.
This is one disease that must be
under a doctors supervision.
Home remedies and treatments
are too dangerous, and only a
doctor can diagnose and treat
heart diseases.
Medical science still knows lit
tie about the causes and treat
ment for heart disease but the fol-
lowing facts are known:
Worry, excitement, tension and
nervousness cause greater strain
on an already weakened heart.
Physical over-exertion puts an
extra strain on the heart mus
cles
Over eating will cause the heart
to be over-worked.
Infections in the body also put
a strain on the heart.

What Did They Study?

THERE WAS no printed circular.
I no bulletin. no prospectus or
catalogue. All the courses"
amounted to just one thing: learn
ing TO do what Jesus was doing. To
this day. that is the aim Of all
Christian training. Mark and Luke
mention at least four things Jesus
training-schoo students learned
from him: preaching, healing the
sick. feeding the hungry. and pray
ing. II would not be quite true to
say that part of what they learned
was spiritual and part practical, for
there is nothing more practical than
praying as Jesus taught it, and
Jesus never ministefed to people S
physical needs without touching
their spirits too.

hospital for the insane need not

itual welfare. the alert young Chris

deal more equipment with them
to their fields than one pair Of
shoes, one cane and an empty
purse. Yet who can deny that
any missionary Of any church,
in China or in Korea today, must
live by faith from day to day?
Another of Jesus principles was

pulpits, but by in-the-home contacts.
Ministers know this, missionaries
know It; Sunday school teachers
ought to know it too. Getting &C.

Who Was Enrolled?

VHO WAS EnTOlIeO.
THE TWELVE Apostles were the
training class. Not all Jesus
disciples were equal to it; perhaps
some Of them actually did not have
the time. But these Twelve had al
ready been set off from the others,
not because they were better men,
but in order to do more direct SER
vice in Christ's name. There was
nothing formal about Jesus training
school.
IL met wherever he was at the
time-in . house, or by the
roadside, or on . hilltop. There
were no set hours, no textbooks,
credits or diplomas.
Jesus kept it going to the very
end. for even after the Resurrection.

expensive and inferior to prewar
gods in color fastness to washing,
hght and perspiration. Many of
the cottons and rayons contain
ed more than 10 per cent sizing.
On the other hand, the wartime
goods generally were better than
prewar fabrics about shrinkage.
The textile specialists found little
difference between war goods and
prewar goods in breaking
strength, weight and fineness OF
weave.
Evidence that much of the in
formation consumers get when
buying clothing materials may be
inaccurate was obtained. The
textile specialists report, for ex-
ample that most fabrics sold as
cotton or rayon gabardine were
really twills. Many materials sold
as all-rayon proved, on testing, to
be partly or wholly cotton.
Labels also did not always
prove accurate guides as to per-
Torrance. Many cottons failed to
fulfill color fastness claims made
for them. A few cottons and ray
ons were tagged "preshrunk" but
some either stretched or shrank
when cleaned. Information as to
the fiber content of wool or part
wool fabrics was usually reliable.

Alliance is little town in Stark
County, Ohio, near the Pennsyl-
vania border.
And 25-year-old Paul Fisher is
about the happiest man there.
He wasn't so happy after his
ID-Day landing on Omaha Beach
on the Normandy coastline. He was
hit in the back and arm by shell
fragments. Paralysis set in. He
soon found out what it was like
to be a paraplegic.
So what happened? The para

But today Paul Fisher is living
in specially built, one-story
house with six rooms and every
convenience that a paraplegic
could wish for. He had nothing to
do with building his new house.
Nor did the Government.
No. that house was built by his
neighbors. Some contributed
dollar or two to the fund set up to
pay for materials, for lot, and
so on. Others lent their right
arms to hammer in the nails.
Architects offered the best plans
they could produce. Contractors
provided machines and equipment.
And the house got built.
On the last day in October the
key to his new $25. 900 house was
presented to Paul Fisher.
Congress passed a bill liberallz-
ing the autos-for -amputees law
and set it to President Truman
just before leaving for home.
President Truman vetoed it.
Under the old (and extended
law World War II veterans who
had lost Cor lost the use OF one
or both feet at or above the ankle

The bill the President vetoed
would have broadened eligibility.
bringing in all veterans who had
lost Cor lost the use OF one or
both arms, or who had become
substantially blind, owing to serv-
ice-connected disabilities. And 1t
would have extended coverage to
World War I veterans.
Why did the President kill this
legislation? Here are his own
words.
"The bill would supply motor
cars to veterans who lost a hand
and are so to 10 per cent disabled
as a result, but whose mobility
may be impaired only slightly. If
at ALL"
"At the same time. he said
"a much larger NUMBER OF Vet-
Grams rated as high as 100 per
cent disabled but without the
specific disabilities covered by this
proposal would not receive auto
mobiles.
