CHARGE ACCOUNTS
The collection of charge ac
counts has been one of the major
problems of modern retail busi
ness concerns. Most people pay
these accounts by the 10th of
the month following purchase, in
accord with best business prac-|
tices, but many others wait
months to close up accounts.
Now comes a new Government
Regulation requiring that mer- j
chants and other retail business |
firms refuse credit to any custo
mer who fails to pay an account
by the 10th day of the 2nd calen
dar month following purchase.
Violation of this regulation car
ries with it heavy tines and pos
sible imprisonment.
For example, articles purchas-j
ed on a charge account in May
must be paid for in full not later'
than July 10; articles purchased |
in,June must be paid for in full |
not later than August 10. Arti-,
cles purchased prior to May 1,
1042, must also be paid for in I
lull not later than July 10,1012.
Charge accounts are in no way
prohibited except in those case
where purchasers fail to meet
their obligations within the tim
allowed.
Should it happen that a pu>
chaser finds himself unable I
meet these obligations, he ina
contract with the m *-•• s • 1 '
holds his account and arrange to
pay off these wiuun
a period of six months or les
through regular monthly piy
ments of $5 or more or througl
weekly payments of $1.25 o>
more.
A group of ton mercha ds i
Perry, affected by this govern
ment regulation, have an advei
Usement in this week’s Hmi
Journal explaining this credit
ruling.
This regulation will "-or l ' *o
the advantage of both the mer
chants and tneir custom . .
will clear up past due accouo
lor the merchants and li n't e> •
tension of credit. It will al t
prevent customers Irom goin
into debt so deenlv. !<> 'r-'m

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
and sent a check for renewal oi
his subscription. He is the

Churches Lambed
Forty-one churches were bombed
in Rochester diocese of England in
1840.
•Sir Veto’
President Andrew Johnson was
sometimes called "Sir Veto" be
cause of the number of congression
al bills he vetoed.
Women Drivers Careful Buyers
When a woman buys a motor car
she is far more critical than a man
of the car’s interior. Not only does
the woman automobile buyer de
mand beauty end durability in the
upholstery fabrics, she also insists
on material that will be easy on the
clothes and easy to clean.

O t The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for May 31

Council of Religious Education; used by

FRIDAY: THE DAY OF
SUFFERING
1 LESSON TEXT—Mark 14:32-34, 44 46; 15:
! 1-5.
CJOLDEN TEXT-Not my will, but thine,
be done.—Luke 22:42.
Suffering such as no man ever
[ faced came upon our Lord in the
night between Thursday and Friday
as He prayed in Gethsemane. Ha
tred and condemnation were poured
upon Him as He went through the
mockery of false trials on Friday.
The important events of last
week’s lesson had taken place, the
precious words of comfort and as
surance had been spoken, and now
as midnight brings the darkness of
night to its deepest hue, the Son of
Man goes alone into the depth of the
garden where we see Him
I. Sorrowful unto Death (14:32-34).
This Scripture portion uses many
words to convoy the depth of His
soul’s agony, as though it were im
possible to express it in the faulty
medium of speech. So it is, for our
Lord here experienced somethin,?’
far more serious than a dread o(
physical death. He was not a cow
j ard. He was not afraid to die. But
| now His soul was about to have put
upon its spotless sinlessness the
I stain and dishonor of the world’s
sins.
As Krummacher says: "Some
thing approached Him which threat
ened to rend His nerves and the
sight of it to freeze the blood in
His veins.” Little wonder that He
was “sorrowful even unto death’’
i (v. 34). It should break our hearts
I to see His loving heart break!
Since this was the road the Mas
| ter trod, should not His servants
j tread it still? Service for Christ may
call for passing through deep and
chilling waters, but never as deep or
l as cold as those of Gethsemane.
Jesus took with Him into the gar
den the three who were closest to
Him in the circle of disciples. He
counted on their fellowship and sym
pathy in His hour of anguish. Mere
ly to have them near Him, to know
that they were there to watch and
pray even though they could not
share His holy burden, was to be a
comfort to Him.
How ignominiously they failed.
The spirit was willing (v. 38), but
the flesh took the upper hand, and
they slept! He was alone with His
Father when He prayed that if it
were possible the hour might pass
from Him, but in true and beautiful
submission said, "Not what I will,
but what thou wilt.”
11. Betrayed With a Kiss (14 :44-46).
To betray the one who had done
nothing but good, who had loved
him and served him even in the
washing of his feet, this would have
been far more than one could have
expected of even the sin-blackened
heart of a Judas. But he filled the
measure of his ignominy to over
flowing by betraying his Lord with
the sign of affection —a kiss.
We know that we may not stand
on the same ground as our Lord
even here, for, whereas He had done
nothing to merit betrayal, we at our
best are not able to stand forth
without fault. Nevertheless, great
is the hurt when we face the be
trayals of life. It may be one
whom we have befriended, who has
hern the object of our loving thought
and care, and who in the hour when
he thinks to gain himself some ad
vantage or avenge some fancied
wrong strikes us in the back, even
as he smilingly professes to be a
friend. Shall we be embittered in
soul and give like for like? God for
bid! Let us rather say as Jesus did
to Judas, "Friend, wherefore art
thou come?” (Matt. 26:50).
111. Condemned by Hatred and
Cowardice (15:1-5).
We have only a partial picture
of the betrayal of Jesus in our les
son, but it is typical of all that took
place, for it reveals the hatred-in
spired false witness of the Jews,
which, combined with the cowardice
of Pilate, resulted in His being con
demned to death.
Pilate was convinced of His inno
cence, but because of the pressure
by Jewish leaders he was in a dif
ficult position. He was afraid to
follow his convictions, feeling that
it was more expedient to yield to
the will of the populace. So he lost
his great opportunity to write his
name large among the heroes of
history.
Many there are who follow in Pi
late's steps. They know what they
ought to do with Jesus, but fearing
the comments of friends or the pos
sible loss of earthly advantage, they
let Him be crucified afresh by their
unbelief.
The Jewish leaders and ttiose
whom they had misled hated Jesus
with a malicious hatred which made
them relentless in their determi
nation to destroy Him. Now they
had their quarry at bay and they
were determined to close in for
! "the kill."
i They have their present day coun
j terpart in those who have so long
rejected Christ that they have be
come embittered against Him.
List Symptoms, Signs of
Early Nutritional Fault
Early nutritional failure—early
deficiency states—is probably far
more prevalent among the popula
tion of the United States than is
generally recognized, the subcom
mittee on medical nutrition, divison
of medical sciences, National Re
search council, says in a report pub
lished in the Journal of the Amer
ican Medical Association.
In the report are lists of the symp
toms and signs suggestive of early
deficiency states in infants and chil
dren and in adolescents and adults.
The subcommittee warns that no
symptoms or physical signs can be
accepted as diagnostic of early nu
tritional failure. It says, however,
that symptoms and signs “When
verified by a competent physician
and when other possible causes have
been ruled out should be considered
as significant indications.”
Those symptoms in infants and
children which parents or teachers
might observe are as follows: Lack
of appetite, failure to eat adequate
breakfast, failure to gain steadily
in weight, aversion to normal play,
chronic diarrhea, inability to sit,
pain on sitting and standing, poor
sleeping habits, backwardness in
school, repeated respiratory in
fection, abnoraml intolerance of
light and abnormal discharge of
tears. The physical signs are bad
posture and sores at angles of the
mouth.
They're ‘Jeeps' to Public
But ‘Peeps’ to Soldiers
Those fast-moving little reconnais
sance cars that have won a place in
Uncle Sam’s fighting forces may be
“jeeps” to the public, but they’re
“peeps” to the army.
And thereby hangs a tale, accord
ing to Delmar G. Roos, chief engi
neer at the auto plant, who created
the “standard design” jeep for
America’s fighting men.
In the army, he explains, the
name jeep applies to a larger ve
hicle of the scout car type; but be
cause some of the first 1,500 smaller
cars manufactured carried the mod
el marking “G. W. P.,” soldiers
dropped the middle initial and con
tracted the name from “G.P.” to
jeep. And it’s been a source of
trouble ever since! In fact, there
are several other military weapons
known as jeeps—including a small
airplane and an anti-aircraft detec
tor device—and the confusion of
terms became so great prior to U. S.
entry into the war that an army of
ficer in Tennessee put a ban on the
term.
Efficient Ski Repair Kit
Two new items for use of ski
troops, a repair tip and a repair
kit, have been developed by the
army. The repair tip, carried as
emergency equipment by one out
of every four to eight men, is made
of a light metal and fits any ski.
It is designed as a makeshift to
get a ski trooper back to his post
when the tip of his ski has been
so damaged that it cannot be used.
The repair kit consists of a bag of
tools for repairing skis which weigh !
less than eight ounces. An impor
tant tool is a wrench and pair of
pliers in combination. The wrench
will fit the nuts on the contraction
band, a thin strip of metal used to
hold a split ski together.
Also in the kit are a file and a
countersink. The file is used to
cut off the metal edges of a dam
aged ski at the desired place. The
countersink is used to enlarge holes
along the metal edges of a ski, in
case large size screws must be used
in repairing the ski.
Promotions for Army Non-Coms
Increasing the opportunity for pro
motion to the non-commissioned
grades and at the same time simpli
fying the army pay system, the war
department in the near future will
eliminate the rating of specialist and
create three new grades for enlisted
men.
The new grades are technician
third grade, technician fourth grade
and technician fifth grade. Men of
these grades will be non-commis
sioned officers, receiving the pay
and allowances of the grade speci
fied by their title, and will wear
distinctive chevrons.
These technicians will rank in or
der of the dates of their warrants
below non-commissioned officers of
the same pay. For example, a tech
nician third grade will rank below a
staff sergeant. Similarly, a techni
cian fourth grade will rank below a
sergeant, but above a corporal, and
a technician fifth grade will rank
below a corporal but above a pri
vate first class.
United Kingdom Taxes
No taxes are imposed by the Unit
ed Kingdom on either colonies or
dominions. This is true also of war
expenses. Financial contributions of
British colonies to the war effort
have been in the form of free gifts
for the purchase of fighting aircraft,
etc. The Dominions are independ
ent members of the British com
monwealth of nations. Their whole
war effort, financial and otherwise,
is entirely voluntary. Their finan- I
cial support of the war has been ;
chiefly in the form of (a) loans to j
Great Britain; and (b) in supplying !
their own materials. As allies of
the United Nations they have sent
armies to the various fronts and
they tax themselves to maintain
these armies.
