Laymen are to occupy many
hundreds of Protestant pulpits
throughout America on Sunday,
November 8, “to bring to the at-
tention of congregations the
fact that men generally are think-
ing this time of the winning of
the peace as an integral part of
winning the war.” This move-
ment, which has as its basis the
application of Christian princi-
ples to all of life, is sponsored
by the newly-organized “Lay-
men’s Movement for a Christian
World,” of which Weyman C.
Huckabee, 156 Fifth Ave., New
York City, is secretary. Accord-
ing to Dr. Huckabee, the Sunday
nearest Armistice Day has been
selected for “Laymen’s Sunday”
because of the dramatic fact that
peace of the first World War was
a “failure because of our unwill-
ingness to dedicate our lives to
the building of peace in a way
as fanatical as we fought the
war.”
the nucleus of the universal
community, the supreme court of
last appeal in international dis-
putes.” This is the core of the
message recently brought to
North America by the Most Rev.
Miguel de Andrea auxiliary bish-
op of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
He added: “The love of which
each one of us has for himself
must never be indulged to the
detriment of that which is due
the family nor that which he has
for his family to the detriment of
that which is due his country;
nor that which he has for his
country to the detriment of that
which is due to humanity.”
“We Americans are great be-
lievers in education, but we
sometimes forget that there can
be education in evil as well as
education in the good things of
life,” President Roosevelt states
in a letter to General Secretary
Roy G. Ross, of the International
Council of Religious Education,
Chicago. “This is self-evident
now: in the great struggle in
which we are engaged our enem-
ies are not the deluded peoples
of the earth, but the false and evil
standards which have deluded
them . . . We are at war with the
forces of evil abroad, but this
does not relieve us of the re-
sponsibility of eternal vigilance
at home. The young must be
taught, and they must be taught
truly if the spring-waters of de-
mocracy are to be kept untaint-
ed.”
Bishop W. Y. Chen, noted
Chinese Christian leader recent-
ly elected to the episcopacy by
the Methodist Church in China,
is in the process of organizing
a National Christian Council for
“free” or “unoccupied” China.
This will include practically all
Protestant churches and missions
in West China. Bishop Chen was
formerly secretary of the Na-
tional Christian Council of China
with headquarters at Shanghai,
but it has not been possible for
that body to function in Japan-
ese-controlled territory. Dr. Rob-
ert E. Brown, missionary in
Chengtu, where he is organizing
a medical center and hospital for
research work by the four medi-
cal calleges of that city, is to be
medical secretary for the new
Council, welding into a unit the
work carried on by 168 mission
hospitals and 500 American doc-
tors and nurses before the out-
break of the war.
Because of its nearness to As-
ansol, greal industrial, military
and railroad center of Eastern
India, the Britich Army has tak-
en over Ushagram, Methodism’s
outstanding educational center
for better village life. Principal
Frederick G. Williams and Mrs.
Williams, who have had several
hundred boys and girls at this
school for a period of years, have
reopened the school at Pakaur,
Bengal. The famous Lee Mem-
orial Mission, in the heart of in-
dustrial Calcutta, has also taken
refuge in Pakaur.
“The establishment of peace

In as widely separated places
as the State of Kentucky and the
Madras Presidency in India, the
United Lutheran Church is this
year celebrating the centennial
of the Rev. Dr. Christian Freder-
ick Heyer, founder of the foreign
mission work of American Luth-
erans in India, and at one time
missionary t o Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, and
Kentucky. Immigrant boy, fur-
rier’s apprentice, theological stu-
dent, licensed missionary in mid-
western United States, sole Luth-
eran in a party going to India
by sailing vessel for missionary
work, he organized churches,
schools, and clinics in the Guntar
Rajahmundry area of India—now
the largest Lutheran mission
field in the world. Today that
work has 200,000 baptized mem-
bers in 2320 villages served by
83 missionaries and hundreds of
Indian Christian workers. The
centennial celebration through-
out Lutheranism calls Dr. Heyer
“the father of Lutheran mis-
sions.”

Fire Prevention Week Oct-
ober 4th to
WATCH SCHOOL CROSSINGS
Austin—Gov. Coke Stevenson
formally proclaimed October 4
to 10 as “Fire Prevention Week”
in Texas.
Citing the urgent necessity for
preventing fires during time of
war, Gov. Stevenson said, “*,***
the production of materials es-
sential to the prosecution of the
war by our nation is taxing the
capacity of industrial plants, and
curtailment of production be-
cause of fire becomes a menace
to our own safety ****.”
The Governor called on Texas
citizens and various local organ-
izations to emphasize the danger
of fire and to encourage fire pre-
vention.
Commenting on Fire Preven-
tion Week, Marvin Flail, State
Fire Insurance Commissioner,
suggested that every Texan ac-
cept individual responsibility in
adopting fire prevention mea-
sures at home and at work.
“According to the official pro-
clamation,” Hall said, “Fire Pre-
vention Week has special sign-
ificance this year. The defense
of factories, farms and homes
against destruction by accidental
fires is essential to the war pro-
duction program and conserva-
tion of vital resources.
“There is another reason why
we must devote more attention
to preventing fires. We are now
receiving dividends of lower in-
surance rates—the result of pre-
venting fires. In order to keep
the low fire insurance rates now
in effect, it will be necessary for
us to prevent fires in the future.”

PROCLAMATION
BY THE
GOVENOR OF THE STATE
OF TEXAS
To All To Whom These Presents
Shall Come:
WHEREAS the prevention of
fires is of vital importance to
the success of the nation’s war
effort; and
WHEREAS, the production of
materials essential to tire pro-
secution of the war by our nation
is taxing the capacity of indus-
trial plants, and curtailment of
production because of fire be-
comes a menace to our own safe-
ty; and
WHEREAS, war production
has made it necessary to stop the
manufacture of many lines of
civilian goods, including building
materials; and
WHEREAS, throughout its his-
tory the State of Texas has suf-
fered loss of lives and property
due to fire; and
WHEREAS, statistics on fire
losses reveal that the cause of
fires, to a large extent, can be
controlled by intensive education
and intelligent law enforcement;
and
WHEREAS, due to the national
emergency during time of war,
the safety of human lives, and
in the interest of sound economy,
it is the patriotic duty of every
citizen in Texas to aid in the
prevention of fires;
NOW THEREFORE, I, Coke
Stevenson, Governor of the State
of Texas, hereby proclaim the
week of October 4 to 10, 1942, as
FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
in Texas. Citizens of Texas, part-
icularly civic, school, Civilian De-
fense, and municipal organiza-
tions, are called upon to empha-
size the danger of fire and to
encourage the adoption and en-
forcement of fire prevention
rules and regulations in an effort
to lesson the disastrous conse-
quences of fire.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF,
I have hereunto set my hand and
caused the official seal of the
State of Texas to be affixed here-
to on this the 15th day of Sep-
tember, A. D. 1942.

at the time the U. S. entered the

Widening marketing margins
absorbed $26 of this $34 increase,
and only $8 reached farmers in
the form of higher prices for
their produce. ,
Most of the rise in food prices
is on items not covered by Gen-
eral Maximum Price Regulations,
Mr. Bowles says. Prices of foods
not regulated advanced nearly
five per cent from May to June,
while the retail pric of foods un-
der ceilings dropped about one
per cent.
Among the uncontrolled foods,
commodities registering substan-
tial price advances during this
period were lamb 11 per cent, po-
tatoes 11 per cent, sweet potatoes
nine percent, hens nine percent,
and eggs four percent. While
these rises in retail prices were
taking place the farm price of
lamb increased two percent and
hogs and beef cattle one percent.
Dairy prices and grain prices ac-
tually were lower in June than
in May.
Increased costs of farm labor
are not proportionate to the
amounts farmers receive. Wages
for hired labor rose approximate-
ly 20 percent during the first half
of 1942.

Cull old hens and pullets close-
ly. September is a good time to
start fall chicks.
It takes plenty of good, clean
feed to make eggs, Weatherby
points out. A hen laying 110 to
120 eggs requires 69.3 pounds of
feed and uses 7.06 pounds to
make a dozen eggs. A hen laying
260 to 270 eggs needs 84 pounds
of feed and uses 3.73 pounds to
make a dozen.

May Be Aided—Happy Homes Are

AUSTIN, Sept. 14—Watch out
for those school kids!
You’d forgotten about that
school crossings during the sum-
mer, hadn’t you? The kids are
coming back now, and you’ll have
have to watch out for them.
“Let’s be thankful,” State Pol-
ice Director Homer Garrison said
today, “that we stilll have schools
for our children. Even with the
benefit of education, which now is
denied many peoples of the world,
our kids are growing up into
a world that’s going to be pretty
rough on them. Let’s give them
a break by not breaking their
arms and legs and heads with
our automobiles.”

Nothing equals a baby to bring com-
plete unity and happiness into the home
and tie husband and wife into a stronger
bond of enduring love and mutual in-
terest.
Many homss break up from lack of
children and contribute tv the amazing
American record of one divorce for
every five marriages. Unhappy wives,
childless due to a vitamin-deficient finc-
tional weakness, may now enjoy the de-
sires and activities of Nature’s most
wonderful creation—a normal, fully-de-
veloped, vigorous woman.
Sensational clinical tests demonstrate
that, in vitamin-deficient instances, a
new vitamin of the B Complex group
has a striking effect on sterility. Twenty-
two women, with known sterility records
for as much as five years were selected
for the test. After weeks of heavy dosage
with Paraaminobenzoic acid (a vitamin
of the B Complex group) more than
half of these women became mothers.
Many of these women had been told
their condition was hopeless. The vita-
min is absolutely harmless and decided-
ly beneficial to general health as well.
Thus it is apparent that highly forti-
fied vitamin combination may be just
the thing needed by the childless wife
and quickly bring the happiness of a
baby into the home.
If you are childless and have even giv-
en up hope, if you wish to eliminate one
of the greatest causes of unhappy mar-
riages, by all means give the Perlex
Combination Vitamin System a short
trial in the privacy of your home. To
introduce this new vitamin combination
quickly to a million women, the Perlex
Company, 314 North Michigan Ave.,
Chicago, Illinois, will send a regular
$2.00 supply for only $1.00 and a few
cents postage. You need send no money
—just your name and address. Perlex
comes in a plain wrapper—directions
are quil*e simple, and no special diet Of
exercise is required. r
