One of the most prominent is John Foster Dulles, who has been selected by Thomas E. Dewey to represent him at the Washington conference on peace planning, and is reported to become Secretary of State if Dewey is elected. Dulles is head of the largest law firm in New York and his clients have been Polish, French, Dutch and Belgian government, from whom he has gained a wide international experience. He was sec retary to the Second Hague Peace conference and was legal counsel to the American delegation at Ver- sailes in the formation of the League of Nations. His grandfather was Secretary of State under Benjamin Harrison and his father was a Presbyter ian minister. He is the author of “Peace, War and Change’’, a book widely read for its political philos ophy, and, while not a conventionally a religious man, has said that “there must be a Christian, ethi cal content to a lasting peace ; that, in short, diplom acy is not enough”. Such, in brief, is the first man selected by Dewey under his promise that his cabinet would be men especially qualified for the task of his position. Another man that is rising rapidly is Eric John son, president of the United States Chamber of Com merce, who has recently been on a visit to Russia to study trade relationship with the Soviet government. He is said to be slated for Secretary of Commerce in Dewey’s cabinet, and has already been considered as presidential stature. Thrown into the limelight is also General Patton, after a semi-retirement for a year. He has won the glory of the Normandy front and took the headlines last week over the invasion in Southern France. Gen. Patton, familiarly known as “Old Blood and Guts”, is now leading his army toward the German border with great success and no lead in his shoes—and when we say he is leading we mean that he is in the front lines with his men, taking his chances with the common soldiers and winning their confidence and inspiring them to battle. Congress, and maudlin sentiment, is not likely to withhold further advance ment of this great and badly needed fighting gen eral. Out of emergency and opportunity the nation will find its great men, and along with them the great ness of other men and boys—the common soldier. While we admire and praise the great leaders, we admire and praise the millions of “unknown” sold- iers; without whose qualities, born and developed in a democracy of freedom, our great leaders would fall before the enemy, in the battlefield and in the world of state craft. THE PRESENT CT IND" was the subject ef . the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ. Scientist, on Sunday, August 20. The Golden Text was, “Not that we are suffieient of our selves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficency is of God" (II Cor. 3:5). Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: “For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? For of him, and through him. and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen” (Ro mans 11:34,36). The Lesson-Sermon also in cluded the following correlative passages from the Christian Science textbook, ‘Science and Health with Key to the Scrip tures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “God is infinite, the only Life, substance, Spirit, or Soul, the only intelligence of the universe, including man . . . Spirit is di vine Principle, and divine Prin ciple is Love, and Love is Mind, and Mind is not both good and bad, for God is Mind, therefore there is in reality one Mind only, because there is one God” (p.330).

OUAUTY SHOE REPAIRING Will Pay Prompt Attention To Mait Orden LEE’S SHOE SHOP Q | ; , (Continued from paga 1) they can to effect delivery of such gifts, because we know how important they are for the happiness of the armed forces. Too frequently, noth ing can be done. “I am sorry that anyone ever men tioned that the size of a shoe box is the approximate limit for packages intended for gift mailings overseas. Unhappily many people became con vinced that a shoe box is the best pos sible container. We must be mindful that these gifts must travel far. with shipping spate crowded. If the gifts are to be protected in transit they must be packed in boxes made of met al. wood, solid fiberboard, or strong double-faced corregated fiberboard, reinforced with strong gummed paper tape or tied with strong twine. If both tape and strong twine are used, so much the better. If the outer wrap per is crushed—and this is likely to happen—the loss of contents may be prevented if fiberboard boxes are wrapped in heavy paper. “We were unable to deliver many parcels which families and friends sent to men and women overseas last year because they were crushed in transit and the gift and the outside wrapper became separated. We would have been able to make delivery if the address had been shown on the inside wrapper. We advise that everyone write the address of the sender and addressee inside the package as well | as outside. “Christmas gifts mean much to our | people overseas. Because strong twine, i heavy paper and boxes and fiberboard will prove of real help in making de livery of gifts possible I urge those to begin saving these materials now. As time goes on they are going to become even more scarce than they are now.” Among the more important rules for Christmas mailings to the armed forces overseas are the following: The parcel must not exceed five pounds, and must not be more than 15 inches in length or 36 inches in length and girth combined. It should be marked ‘Christmas parcel’ so that it may be given special attention to assure its arrival before December 25. Not more than one parcel may be mailed in any one week to the same member of the armed forces by or in behalf of the same mailer. When combination packages are made up of such items as miscellan eous toilet articles, hard candies. First National Bank of Hermiston soaps, etc., the contents should be tightly packed so that they will not become loosened in transit and dam- age the contents or the cover. Hard candies, nuts, caramels (including those covered with chocolate), cookies, ’ ’ ■ ' bars ****3. fruit cake, and ' chocolate individ- ually wrapped in waxed paper should be enclosed in inner boxes of wood, metal, or cardboard. Perishable goods, such as fruits and vegetables that may spoil, are prohi bited. Intoxicants, inflammable ma terials such as matches or lighter fluids, poisons, and anything that may- damage other mail also are prohibited. Gifts enclosed in glass should be sub stantially packed to avoid breakage. Sharp instruments, such as razors and knives, must have their edges and points protected so that they cannot cut through the coverings and injure postal personnel or damage other packages. Relatives and friends who know that the personnel in the armed servi- ces to whom they plan to send gifts are at far distant points should begin to mail their packages on the opening day. September 15, of the mailing period. Last year late mailings, caus ing concentration of great numbers of packages in the final days of the mail ing period, threatened to defeat the program. It is stressed that success can be assured, with the limited per sonnel and facilities available, only if the public gives full cooperation through prompt mailings of the over seas gift parcels from the opening of the maling period.
