Thirteen per cent of women and six per cent of A- merican men make it a daily practice to read their Bibles, ac¬ cording to a nation-wide sur¬ vey ust completed by the A- merican Institute of Public O pinion- revealed what The survey one would naturally suspect that interest in the Bible ap¬ pears to increase with age. Of people over fifty years of age, fourteen per cent read their Bibles daily. liberal The Institute is rater in its definiton of a Bble-reader, taking its survey on the basis of indivduals who have taken time out one or more times dur¬ ing the year to read the Bible By this test, sixty-two per cent of the people of this country qualify in 1944. The percentage varies in cer¬ tain sections of the United States. South of Mason-Dixon Line, the percentage is seventy- nine; in the West Central area, it is sixty-nine; but in New Eng¬ land and the Middle Atlantic region, the percentage is the lowest. The test gives us figures for those who read their Bibles dai¬ ly and then jumps to the other end of the scale, to those who read them one or more times during the year. This is a wide variation. Even with this com¬ parison light requirement, thirty eight per cent of our people cannot qualif, and, it must be presumed, do not read their Bibles at all. We have repeatedly stressed our belief that every individual can study the Bible with profit. We are not among those who believe .that the Holy Book can be utilized as a sort of a mystic fortune-teller, to give he answer to every materialistic question, but we are quite satisfied thcrt i THE DADE COUNTY TIMES: TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY. JANUAR Y II, 1945. TRIES TO WIN THE WAR One of the popular pastimes of the people on the homefront i j nvo j ves the effort to persuade others that he war is being won by this, or that, unit. Obviously, each branch of the service makes a necessary contribution to the total effort of the naion. No battle can be won, in modern warfare, with¬ out all of the paraphernalia and in¬ volved in the organization power of an army group. If we go a little bit further, we find, from General Eisenhower s recent warning, that the war "will be needlessly extended" unless tires are conse. /ed by the Army. The General says that he is not exaggerating in making this declaration, be¬ cause "tire wear in this theater has exceeded all pre-combai estimates" and the Army now faces a tire shortage which may "tie up ten per cent of our ve¬ hicles by the first week in Feb¬ ruary." of From this pronouncement Command¬ the Supreme Allied er, it appear that the war can¬ not be won without tires. The same observation applies no doubt, to shoes, clothes, pots and pans, and other items gen¬ erally overlooked as insignifi¬ cant. In the Pacific, the question o suppliec is as vital as it is Europe. All over the world, we have a "war of supply equally as much as . . • a war of tac¬ tics." It is up to the homefront to guarantee that adequate supplies reach our fighting men. If the Army in Europe needs tires, then the tires must leave the United States, necessary, to prevent and re¬ duction whatever in the total of¬ fensive power of the American armies. WARNING THE GERMANS The German people have been warned by General Eisenhower that the "scorched earth policy" of the retreating German armies will only multiply their suffer¬ ings and hardships because the military government of the Unit¬ ed Nations will be unable to supply food, fuel or clothing. There is nothing wrong with this announcement. If the Ger¬ man armies, retiring under mili¬ tary pressure, wish to ravage and plunder their own land, it is their business. The German civilians have no right to pect the Allied invaders to as¬ sume the burden of caring for them. While this policy would be justified by what German solid iers have done to other lands, the announcement is necessary because Allied troops have not the resources or the shipping to do much more than provide for their needs and give assistance to the people of liberated areas. The main business of the na tion, after Germany is defeated, will be to proceed in such a manner as to convince Japan¬ ese the next time they want to start a sudden war, to steer clear of the United States. its reading will develop he spir¬ itual growth of individuals. The Bible, according to the Christian belief, provides the basis for understanding the di¬ vine plan for man. It is, in our opinion, designed to reveal the truth of the spiritual world and develop spiritually among men. This, in turn, will help men solve worldly problems. Today Hud Tomorrow By LOUIE D. NEWTON TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS! And Who Will Pay the Bill? Word comes down from a re¬ cent meeting of liquor tycoons that the industry will spend twenty million dollars for ad¬ vertising in 1945. That an¬ nouncement brought a smile, no doubt, to many a greedy pub¬ lisher's face; and to those shrewd investors who have gone in strong for distillery and brewery stocks, the announce¬ ment brought a feeling of satis¬ faction, perhaps. But the question insistently emerges, "W t o will pay that twenty million dollars at a time when our Nation groans be¬ neath a deficit of billions?" And the answer finally through upon thoughtful —the little children of parents will pay the cost of vertising, added onto the mounted price of each each quart, each children, who will go proper food and clothing housing and will feel the sharp, edge of privation in order the distiller and brewer wholesaler.and retiler may joy the increased business that twenty-million-dollar tising fund.

Politicians proudly justify votes for beer and wine and liquor on the fallacious that it brings in revenue; every honest student of ment knows that every pint liquor sold means a loss to society—loss of power, loss of efficiency, loss character, loss of money maintaining jails and asylums and sanitoriums. Yes, we will all pay that million dollars, and, alas, more! FIVE SHIPS A DAY!

Attention Veterans (The following information is prepared and released under supervision of C. Arthur Cheat¬ ham, Director of State Veterans' Service Office). We hope that all educators in Georgia will pledge their co¬ operation in the educational aid program for war veterans. It is important that our war heroes be encourage to take advant¬ age of the wonderful opportuni¬ ties for additional education be¬ ing offered them by our State and Federal governments. The Servicemen's Readjust¬ ment Act, Public Law No. 346 of June 22, 1944—commonly called the G. I. Bill of Rights— provides an ouuortunity for the majority of veterans to secure an education. The educational feature of this law provides: (1) Courses in accredited schools; (2) Re-training or refresher courses regardless of age or previous education. All veter¬ ans who served subesquent to September 16, 1940, for a period of ninety days or more, and be¬ fore the termination of the pres¬ ent war, who have been sepa¬ rated from active service under conditions other than dishonor¬ able are intitled to to education¬ al benefits from the Veterans' Administration. Veterans who entered the armed forces before they be¬ came twnty-five years of age are entitled to one year's train¬ ing plus the time hey spent in active service, but the period of training cannot exceed forty- eight months. Veterans entitled to Vocation¬ al Rehabilitation are given a greater subsistence allowance than non-disabled veterans. The Veterans' Administration will pay all tuition and fees, exclusive of board and lodging, up to $500.00 for a school year and in addition the trainee will be paid an additional $50-00 per month while going to school or college. If there are depend¬ ents the subsistence allowance will be $75.00 per month. The educational feature of Public Law No. 16, 78th Con¬ gress, deals with disabled vet¬ erans having a vocational handicap. The purpose of this law is to restore employability and to assist the veterans in every way possible in over¬ coming his handicap. This pro¬ gram is directly under the sup¬ ervision of the Veterans' Ad¬ ministration. In some instances a veteran may be eligible under both Public Law 16 and Public Law No. 346 and he elects which benefits he desires. Immediately upon the pass¬ age of Public Law No. 346, 78th Congress, Governor Ellis Arnall formulated a plan for Georgia's participation in this unprece¬ dented program for the educa¬ tion of our returning veterans. The Veterans' Education Coun¬ cil, composed of eleven out¬ standing educators, was ap¬ pointed by the governor to for¬ mulate policies for, and to sup¬ ervise activities of the State Di¬ rector of Veterans' Education, and to develop criteria for ap¬ proving educational and train¬ ing institutions n Georga. The Council has developed citeria and has approved in- | tit ltions and establishments that are meeting he sandards se up by he Council for the training of returining veterans.

GOLDEN TEXT: "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."—Matthew 4:10. Lesson Text: Matthew 3:13-4:11. The ministry of John the Bap- tist preceded the active work of Jesus- John, typical of the Old Testament prophets, is consid¬ ered a connecting link between the Old and New Testaments. John the Baptist, was bom about six months earlier than Jesus to whom he was related by blood, being a cousin. His parents were very devout peo- pie and John was reared very strictly. Early in life he became a Nazarite and fulfilled the strict vows and simple mode of living practiced by these. Roughly and plainly dressed, eating only simple, coarse food, Tohn the Baptist was a solitary spirit, calling upon his hearers o repent and proclaiming to them the imminence of the king¬ dom of God. He made a pow¬ erful effect everywhere he went and many were baptized at his hands, some following him as disciples. John's message was direct, uncompromising and condemn¬ ing. He characterized his audi¬ ences as a "generation of vip¬ ers," urging them to abandon sin and in their' lives show "fruits worthy of repentance." He advised them to share their goods with those who were less fortunate, to stop all oppress¬ ion and injustice, and to hum¬ ble themselves as was befitting a shild of God. To John the Baptist came Je¬ sus when about thirty years of age. John was near Bethany, where the Israelites in their aarly history crossed the River Jordan under the leader Joshua, and here he was baptizing in the waters of Jordan those who repented at his message. See¬ ing Jesus, he testified that he was "the Lamb of God,” a term which was understood and rec¬ ognized by those who heard it as signifying the expected Mes¬ siah. Some of John's disciples abandoned him to follow Christ an action which John himself endorsed. Jesus himself testi¬ fied to the emminence of John saying that no greater man had ever been born. j When Jesus presented himself to John the Baptist to be bap- tized the latter demurred saying ■hat he was more in need Jesus.! of baptism at the hands of But Jesus insisted upon the rit¬ ual of Baptism, thereby repudi¬ ating the attitude of the Saddu- cees and the Pharisees, who re¬ jected the authenticity of John's baptism. | In addition, Jesus recognized it as a righteous ordinance, one which he wanted to recommend to hs followers by his own ex- 1 ample of submission thereto, and above all, Jesus fully real- ized the inspiring power of this process of consecration. By this time Jesus was conscious of his mission, if not before, and with I The Lesson for Next Week: "STANDARDS OF THE KINGDOM" Agent Cites Riboflavin Needs in Family's Diet Research shows that the dinary diet of the people is generally deficient riboflavin, one of the B vitamins. Miss Kathryn man, Dade County home onstration agent, declared week- Riboflavin is essential growth and general good health, Miss Berryman said. A- cute characteristics of riboflavin deficiency are: a red, inflamed, glossy-looking tongue; difficult swallowing; cracked, scaly places around the nose, eyes and eyelids. Persons with less deficiency show nervousness, irritability, a general tried or run down" feeling, with itching or burnng eyes and poor vis¬ The most concentrated sour¬ ces of riboflavin are liver, kid¬ cheese, eggs, and greens as kale,, but milk is the Ad in The Times Will Bring Results his formal dedcation of his own life he profited by a clearer vis- ion of God's purposes for him. Following his baptism Jesus went into the wilderness for meditation and spiritual stren¬ gthening. Other great religious leaders have done the same. Realizing now his destined task in life as an immediate and present duty before hm, Jesus had to determine the means by which he would seek the ac- complishment of his mission ctnd at the same time build up that superhuman faith in the triumph of goodness and love which was to carry him through the terrific trials of his ministry. Several years afterwards Je¬ sus advsed his disciples to count the cost before undertak¬ ing their important work, and we may be sure that during the forty days of fasting and pray¬ er in the wilderness Jesus pre¬ pared himself for the supreme sacrifice of life itself, which he was going to be called upon to make in testimony of his own faith and fidelity. While in the wlderness, Jesus faced three great temptatons and success¬ fully repudiated each one of them. It is immaterial to us what was the form and appearance of the tempter, but as he faced his great mission to uplift a world Jesus met and conquered enticements and allurements which the wrong and vile use to betray and mislead men. The __ three temptations to which Je¬ sus was subected in the wilder¬ ness represented wealth with¬ out work, social recognition without merit, and unlimited power and authority without struggle—it is not strange that many a moral man has fallen down and worshiped evil for even one of these three great promises! Hurgry and famished by his long abstinence, Jesus was told to use his divine power to trans¬ form the stones into bread, which process meant unlimited wealth in that it furnished all that the body needed wihout la- bor - Secondly, he was advised to secure recognition by mir- aculously floating down into midst of tbe people and by this 3i U n demonstrate his divine au- thority. This was far easier than setting a perfect example dur¬ ing three years of trial and ef¬ fort of love and humble service, with general recognition post¬ poned for centuries. Then, at iast - J esus was offered all pow- er and authority without strug- 9 le or waiting if he would only consent in advance to misuse it for evib his own selfish pleas- ure and aggrandizement. Jesus rejected all three of these en- ticin 9 temptations, preferring to set out on the road which led to most important source of ribo- flavin, providing about half of j this vitamin in the natonal diet, 1 the home demonstration agent pointed out. Milk can be served several times during the day, while more concentrated sour- ces of the vitamin cannot be used so frequently. Other good sources of ribo¬ flavin are peanuts, dried beans and peas, lean meat, fish and poultry, she said. These foods which are good sources of ribo¬ flavin should be included fre¬ quently in the family's diet. The amount of riboflavin needed seems to be in propor¬ tion to the caloric content of the diet. Miss Berryman said. Re- cent research indicates that as fats, sugars and starches are increased in the diet, there should be a corresponding in¬ crease in the amount of ribo¬ flavin supplied.
