he sell it in the black mar-
ket and makes a 900-franc pro-
fit. Then he goes somewhere else
where he has friends and re-
peats the process, buying a $5
bill from the government for 600
francs and selling it for 1500 in
the black market.
When he has accumulated
enough paper French francs for
a bigger operation, he buys 200-
Swiss gold francs, costing him
about $40 in American money or
not quite 5000 paper French
francs. He goes to Switzerland,
lives a week on 125-Swiss gold
francs, then sells his remaining
75 gold francs for black market
Italian lire. He gets so many
lire in black marke that actually
his week in Switzerland has cost
him nothing for living expenses
and he leaves the country with
a profit equal to around 2000
French paper francs. He's got
7,000 paper francs where he had
5000 before. Only he's carry-
ing it in lire, now.
So he goes to Italy, where an-
other black market free loader
helps him to buy some more
hard currency, dollars or Swiss
gold francs, from the Italian
government. He keeps this up,
moving from county to country.
At the end of a year, he has
lived like a king, done not a lick
of work and is well off. Since all
his dealings are illegal, he has
evaded taxes.
Literally thousands of people
are doing this. Who stands the
loss? Why, the people who stay
at home and work and see their
salaries and savings destroyed
as their money falls lower and
lower in relation to goods.
Admissions Thursday to the
Sweetwater Hospital included
Bob Hurd, M. C. Reagan and
Lonnie Ray Davenport, medical
treatment; Joe Don Kirkland,
Mrs. Herbert Mearse und Ruby
Jean Spurlin, major surgery.

well Hayley and Mrs. Eldon

Renounces Wallace
HOUSTON, Nov. 22 (UP) —
A Houston attorney, Virgil Ar-
nold, has announced he is
through with Henry Wallace.
Arnold, former president of the
Age Limit League of America,
had invited Wallace to speak in
Houston on two occasions. But
the former vice president was
unable to accept the invitations.
The break with Wallace oc-
curred because of a speech he
made in Atlanta, Georgia
Thursday. Arnold quotes Wal-
lace as saying the Communists
are not responsible for the poll
tax or race segregation. And Ar-
nold declares that the former
cabinet officer's assertions are
"Right in line with the Com-
munist party movement."
Wallace's invitations to speak
in Houston fanned a heated con-
troversy over the question of
whether city officials would per-
mit him to speak in a city-owned
auditorium. Councilman Har-
ry Holmes, critical of Wallace's
views, led the opposition.
He'll know you mean it—if you give him
this superbly soft flannel robe tailored by
"Botany." Fashioned with an eye to ease
and comfort, built for the leisure hours,
made of handsome warmth-without-weight
"Botany" Brand flannel, it can be had in
tan, brown or maroon, in small, medium or
large.

sions has been appointed execu-

the next session of the Senate.
Then, a caucus will name all
Senate officers.

have enabled the county associa-
tion to wage an increasingly ef-
fective campaign to eradicate
tuberculosis.
"Great progress has been made
in the conquest of tuberculosis,"
said Paul Cain, "but there is
much work yet to be done be-
fore this enemy is finally con-
quered. Although tuberculosis
has been forced down from
first to seventh cause of death
in this country, it kills more
people between 15 and 45 years
of age than any other disease.
We cannot afford to relax our
efforts until we have attained
final victory over tuberculosis.
We must continue to be gener-
ous in our purchase of Christ-
mas Seals in order that our
tuberculosis association may
continue its work in our behalf."
Decides She Loves
Baker In Chicago >,
CHICAGO. Nov. 22, (UP)—A
blonde German war widow step-
ped off a plane and into the
arms of a 39-year-old ex-GI
baker in Chicago.
She has decided she loves the
baker, Fred Lutz, more than
she loves the man, who paid her
way from Germany. He is Char-
les Schumacher, a 10-year- old
railroad man from Strong City,
Kansas.
Both Lutz and Schumacher
met Mrs. Mariella Strauss when
they were serving with the
Armj' in Germany.
Schumacher was stationed at
her home town in Bavaria be-
fore Lutz. He wooed and won
the widow and then was trans-
ferred back to the United States.
Then Lutz came into her life.
He helped her write love letters
to Schumacher for a while, un-
til they fell in love. Soon after
that, Lutz was returned to the
States.
In the meantime, Schumacher
had been making plans to bring
his supposed fiance and her
eight-year- old daughter, Helga,
to this country. He obtained
permission for them to enter
and sent Mrs. Strauss money to
pay for her trip.
But; when she arrived in New
York yesterday, she took a plane
to Chicago instead of to Kansas
City. She says she feels sorry
for Sehmacher. Lutz says he is
going to pay Schumacher every
cent of the $700 his rival spent
for her passage to this country.
But Schumacher, in Kansas City,
is not happy about the whole
thing. He says:
"1 certainly don't wish them
any luck."
Father Knows How
Costly Butter Is
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 22,
UP)—It must be a sign of the
times.
In Indianapolis, a Sunday
School teacher hopefully asked
the class: "Can one of you tell
me what your father does the
very first thing when he comes
to the dinner table?"
One moppet waved a hand.
When recognized he stood up
and said: "He says 'Go easy on
the butter kids, I don't know
where the next pound's coming
from.' "

SERMONS
By
frank
shepherd!
It would be well if every young
lady or young gentleman could
realize there is always a possibil-
ity that the first person of the
opposite sex dated might become
the other party to a wedding
with you. Therefore a pertinent
question could well be: "Would
I be willing that he, or she, 1
come the father, or mother,
my children."
i
Though God desires that all
people marry yet he has in the
past given some restrictions as
to the realm in which his people
should seek their life partners
God was very emphatic with re-
gard to the children of Israel
(Deuteronomy 7:34; Ezra 9 and
10; Nehemiah 13:23-33.) He posi-
tively forbade any Hebrew man
taking a wife of the heathen ii~
tions. He spoke equally po9
tively against Hebrew parents
giving their daughters in mar-
riage to men of other nations.
The New Testament contains
one very significant restriction
concerning the marriage of
widows who are Christians— 1
Corinthians 7:39. Human ex-
perience has demonstrated the
difficulty of maintaining har-
mony and happiness where
there is incompatibility in the
matter of religion. w

Group Starts Drive
To impeach Pepper
MIAMI, Nov. 22 (UP) — A
campaign to impeach Democrat
ic Senator Claude Pepper of
Florida has been started among
a group of Florida industrialists.
Pepper has denounced the
group as "The same little clique
of selfish reactionaries that
tried for 12 years to get Frank-
lin Roosevelt out of the White
House."
The campaign was initiated by
members of the Associated Iiv
dustries of Florida. Ted Bayle^
executive vice-president of the
group, says members are being
polled to see if they want to
lead a state-wide drive to oust
the liberal senator from office.
Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Stewarts
of Eskota announce the arrival
of a son at 2:10 a. m. on Satur-
day, November 22, at the Sweet-
water Hospital.
