There are some times and placesso sacred that one is instinctivelyhushed into reverent devotion. WhenChrist prayed in holy intercession (asrecorded in John 17) on the nightbefore His suffering His disciplesmust have been lifted into the verypresence of the Eternal One. It wasa holy experience.
He prayed for Himself, but evenmore did He pray for His believingfollowers. To know that someoneis praying for us is indeed an anchorin a time of storm, a strong helpin the hour of conflict or of servicefor Christ.
But to know that the Masterprayed for you and me—that isenough to send us, like the disciplesof old, out to face an unbelievingworld in His conquering name. Heprayed for Himself—and He prayedfor me!
I. He Prayed for Himself (vv. 1-8).He looked up and said: "Father.''
and then He was ready to pray. Soclose was He to God that there wasjust this simple recognition of theircommunion. In Christ are we notas close as He?
What did Jesus ask for Himself?At first thought it seems a little un-usual that He asked
1. For Recognition of His DivineGlory (w. 1-5).
Why would He who had just giventhe disciples an example of and anadmonition to humility desire tohave His glory manifested? Be sureit was not a matter of selfish pride.He had finished His work (for Hecounted redemption as completethroughout His prayer), and now theglory which He laid down when Hecame to earth (Phil. 2:6-8) was tobe resumed.
He wants man to see Him now notonly as the compassionate Son ofman, but the glorious Son of God,able to save. It is right that theglory of Christ should be magnifiedand recognized by the whole crea-tion. He is worthy!
2. For the Manifestation of HisGrace (vv. 6-8).
The Father had given Christ theheart devotion of those who believedin Him. Note that their faith restedon the name of God (v. 6), andupon His Word which had come tothem and to us through Christ.
He recognized their position andstanding in Him and established itbefore God and man. ^ He thenprayed for them (read vv. 9-17) thatthey might be kept in an evilworld as a testimony to the graceand power of God in the humanheart.
This leads to His intercession forall believers.
II. He Prayed for All Believers(vv. 18-22).
Christians are not simply theavowed adherents to a particularform of belief, they are "sent" ones.As the Father sent Him into theworld, "even so send I them intothe world," said Christ.
Christ has gone to be with theFather, but He has left those whobelieve in Him as His witnesses, Hisrepresentatives. For this they needholiness. He prayed:
1. For Their Consecration (vv. 18,19).
For their sakes He consecratedHimself. Surely if He needed it, wedo far more. It is not only His willfor us, but His prayer. How won-derfully that prayer was answeredwe see as we look back over theintervening 19 centuries, from Hisimmediate disciples on through themartyrs, the missionary pioneers ofall ages, the faithful preachers andteachers of the gospel, yes and "liv-ers" of the. gospel too. He knew,He prayed, God answered. Are youin that blessed host of consecratedbelievers?
2. For Their Unity and Glory (vv.20-26).
There is a refreshing simplicityabout the Christian faith which isutterly different from all the com-plications which man has preparedand superimposed upon it. Essen-tially it is a matter of God havingsent His Son into the world to be theRedeemer of men. He and the Fa-ther are one, He and His followersare one, and so we are all one. Wewho today believe are included (readvv. 20-23).
This is an inward unity of theSpirit, not an outward union of or-ganizations. The answer to our dif-ficulty is not the dissolution of de-nominations (although there doseem to be far too many subdivi-sions, too), but the uniting of allgroups in a oneness of love and de-votion to Christ, and a united empha-sis on the gospel.
There is something more here.This unity puts Christ's followersinto the place where His glory maybe revealed in and upon them. It isHis prayer that we should beholdin our Saviour the glory which Godhad given Him because He lovedHim before the foundation of theworld.
Reindeer Herds ReducedBy Attack of Beasts.
NOME.—Down out of the moun-tains, wolves are threatening thewartime food supply of the AlaskanArctic.
In less than 10 years, the wolveshave reduced reindeer herds ofAlaskan Eskimos from 550,000 ani-mals to 170,000 and still are slashingat the herds forming this region'sone food supply which still wouldbe available in case of isolation orinvasion of the territory.
J. Sidney Rood, director of theU. S. -Reindeer service at Nome,said in an interview recently:"Wolves are solely responsible forthe depletion of the reindeer. Theyhave accomplished this by two meth-ods—direct, bloody attacks on theherds and constant pursuit of theanimals so that they are drivenaway from their food supply andstarve."
The threat to the reindeer became'of paramount importance to thisarea with the declaration of war.Reindeer meat always has been awinter staple for such towns asNome, Kotzebue, Teller, Wainwrightand Point Barrow, all unr each-able by ship' during the wintermonths. With the influx of warworkers, the demand was greatlyincreased.
Should the territory be cut off forany reason from the continentalUnited States, reindeer meat mightbe the only food supply for thesecivilians and for any army units inthis part of Alaska. Just for nor-mal needs, the army this year or-dered more than 100,000 pounds ofreindeer to supplement other meatsupplies.
There is no immediate danger ofa shortage of reindeer meat thiswinter, unless even local transporta-tion should fail.
Want More Flour UsedTo Ease Wheat Surplus
WASHINGTON. — The UnitedStates has one food which agricul-ture department officials wish theycould advise consumers to hoard.That is wheat .flour.
Supplies of wheat are so largethat farmers are having difficultyin finding storage space.
Recently several members of con-gress from midwestern wheat statesasked Secretary Wickard to appealto housewives to buy and store ex-tra large quantities of flour in theirpantrie's. It was argued that suchaction would help relieve the grainstorage situation.
Mr. Wickard thought well of thesuggestion. But before doing any-thing about it he asked specialistsin his department if such home stor-age was feasible. They told him itwas not, except for sections of thecountry where the weather was espe-cially dry and cool.
Flour, it was explained, was sub-ject to deterioration through moldand insects.
Disappointed, the secretary limit-ed his appeal to a request thathousewives do more home baking oruse more bakery products.

Curb on SchoolTaxes Declared
Too InflexibleU-M Publication Stresses
Need for Local Controlof Education
ANN ARBOR—Inflexibility of the15-mill tax rate limitation runscounter to the fundamental idea ofretaining local control and initia-tive over elementary and secondaryeducation, E. Fenton Shepard andWilliam B. Wood declare in a Uni-versity of Michigan Bureau of Gov-ernment monograph entitled "TheFinancing of Public Schools in Mich-igan."
Mr. Shepard is a research assistantin the Bureau and Mr. Wood is aformer research assistant. The au-thors declare there is little doubtthat local control and local initiativoare preferable for the maintenanceof democratic education, if the localunits are large enough in populationand economic resources to achieveefficient administration. They believestate support for education shouldbe maintained through equalizationgrants in order to establish a mini-mum educational o p p o r t u n i t ythroughout the state and to equalizethe burden of a minimum programon local economic resources.
Limitation's Effect CitedAt the same time, the authors re-
gard it as essential 'that the localcommunity be allowed to raise edu-cational standards above the" mini-mum--and to experiment with neweducational methods. However, theycharge that the 15-mill limitationmakes it practically impossible forlocal school districts to undertakenew capital outlays or to improvethe school program.
As a means of securing greaterflexibility for local school finance,the authors refer to the suggestionof the committee on finance andtaxation of the Michigan Constitu-tional Revision Study Commissionthat the time limit during which thetax rate may exceed 15 mills be ex-tended from five years to 20 andthat the vote required for exceedingthe limitation be changed from atwo-thirds majority to a bare ma-jority of those voting.
Financing Is AnalyzedThe monograph is devoted to a
description and analysis of the exist-ing basis for financing the publicelementary and secondary schoolsand the part played by the threalevels of government—federal, stateand local.
The small school district type oforganization is declared to be one ofthe stumbling blocks to a trulyequitable equalization p r o g r a m .Existence of small, inefficient ad-ministrative units in sparsely settledareas makes it difficult, if not im-possible, to provide equal minimumeducational opportunity, because thecost per pupil would be prohibitive,the authors assert. Need for a statelegislative plan or program for con-solidating districts is stressed.

much in favor of the district, and iwho assisted with circulating thepetitions have known for quitesome time that soil conservationwork is important. They say thedistrict will enable the farmers ofthe proposed Cass River Soil Con-servation District to secure as-sistance with their soil erosion andfertility problems. About 150,000acres of land is included in theproposed area. At least 100,000acres of this is fertile rolling clayloam soil subject to considerable'water erosion damage.
In their committee work theyhave found that soil erosion, drain-age, and land use can become theforemost problem and not onlyconcerns the local land owners,but the entire county.
The special committee, appoint-ed by the County Land Use Plan-ning Committee to start theground work necessary to beginthe organization of a soil conser-vation district is headed by WalterGoodall of Cass City. Others onthe committee are John Reagh,Cass City; Emory Lounsbury, CassCity; and A. Paul Kreager, Caro.

PicklesThe 1942 production of cucumbers

Gov. Harry F. Kelly has issueda proclamation designating theweek of March 21-27 as VictoryGarden Week in Michigan. Recog-nizing that the production of foodon home garden plots is one of themost important of civilian warefforts, the Governor has calledupon citizens to make plans forplanting home gardens and toassist in the effort to enlist asmany of their neighbors 'as possiblein the Victory Garden army.
Paul R. Krone, director of Vic-tory Gardens for the MichiganCouncil of Defense, announces thatthe council's garden program ismaking excellent progress through-out the state. In many communitiesgarden committees have completelyorganized their territory. Localcontests have been arranged andnewspapers are planning cooper-ation by devoting much space togarden information. A number ofthe cities have arranged to setaside vacant city property for useas Victory Gardens.
Thousands of Victory Gardenfolders have been prepared fordistribution by the Michigan Coun-cil of Defense. Information thusmade available should be of valuein eliminating waste effort by
[inexperienced gardeners.During Victory Garden Week
stores will feature Victory Gardenwindow displays and libraries,schools and other centers haveplanned special exhibits.
The State Department of PublicInstruction and the State Board ofControl for Vocational Educationare cooperating in encouraging theplanting of school gardens. Foodgrown will be an important item innext year's school lunch program.

:NORTH AFRICA:Rommel Rages
Like a wild animal in a cage, Mar-shal Rommel had struck out at theforces hemming in his 250,000 armyin Tunisia. His principal offensivehad been a heavy thrust at Gen.Sir Bernard Montgomery's BritishEighth army before the strategicMareth line in Southern Tunisia.
But the wary Englishman had an-ticipated the German move and hisdeadly artillery fire had repelled re-peated Nazi attacks with "veryheavy losses."
Rommel, a master of tank war-fare, had attempted to break throughthe British lines with his heavymechanized equipment, but when hewas forced to withdraw wreckedGerman tanks were strewn over thebattlefield.
In the north the British First armyhad regained the initiative and waspressing the enemy, while on thecentral front the American forceswere moving steadily to hem theAxis in.
DRAFT:Plan to Save Farmers
Plans of the administration to takethe pressure of the draft off thenation's shortaged pool of farm la-bor apparently contemplate the in-duction of unmarried men over 38or those in that age group withoutdependents. This, at least, was theInterpretation of Washington observ-ers concerning orders by the WarManpower commission to the selec-tive service to reclassify such men1A beginning May 1.
The Manpower commission's ac-tion followed the announcement of afour-point plan for the deferment ofessential farm labor. It came at amoment, too, when the congression-al farm bloc had launched a drive toclarify the farm labor confusion.
Local draft boards were under or-ders hereafter to place no more menin Class 4-H and to reclassify outof 4-H into 1-A all such men now de-ferred because over the military agelimit. At the same time draftboards were ordered to begin re-classification immediately of allmen over 38 who may become eligi-ble for class 2-C or 3-C because con-nected with farm work.
U.S.-RUSSIA:Need More 'Trust9
Although the storm over Ambas-sador-Admiral William H. Stand-ley's complaint concerning Russia'sfailure to inform its people fullyabout the great extent of Americanaid had subsided and future lend-lease shipments on an ever-biggerscale were assured, the need forgreater mutual confidence betweenthe two Allies continued.
This need was stressed by VicePresident Henry A. Wallace in aspeech which coincidentally enoughwas delivered at the time Stand-ley's statement was made public.Mr. Wallace had stressed the factthat a third World war might re-sult unless the western democraciesand Russia reach a satisfactory un-derstanding.
"War will be probable in case wedoublecross Russia," Wallace said.
VICE PRESIDENT WALLACE, . . beware World War HL
"Such a war would be inevitable ifRussia should again embrace theTrotskyist idea of fomenting worldrevolution, or if British interestsshould again be sympathetic to anti-Russian activity in Germany andother countries."
RUSSIA:Nazis Uncoil
Three reasons were cited by mili-tary observers for the initial successof the sudden German counter-offensive west of Rostov and southof Kharkov which in its early stageshad swept forward 100 miles andresulted in the capture of eight keycities in the Donetz basin which hadbeen taken earlier by the Soviets intheir great winter drive.
One re.ason was the use by .theNazis of 25 fresh divisions. Twelveof these had been rushed from west-ern Europe and the others replen-ished after previous action. A sec-ond reason . was the draining oftroops from this southern sector bythe Russians to supply momentumto their drive on Orel and Vyazmato the north. The third was the su-periority of Axis supply lines andcommunications in the Donetz area.
The serious extent of these earlyGerman successes was evident inthe fact that Russian official com-muniques had admitted the loss ofthe cities the Germans had claimed.Russ reports disclosed that the Ger-man move had actually started latein February.
The setback in the south had notprevented the Russians from con-tinuing their drive on Vyazma. Redcommuniques had reported the cap-ture of Tiomkino.
FOOD SUPPLY:Nutrition Level Dips
That the food situation in the Unit-ed States is rapidly . bringing theAmerican people down to the Ca-nadian and British level of nutritionwas the opinion voiced by Secretaryof Agriculture Claude Wickard.
Mr. Wickard likewise disclosedthat the amount of food available forcivilians "is going to be something
CLAUDE WICKAED. . . more vegetables, less meat.
less than it is at the present time,"in testimony before the senate ap-propriations committee.
Because of the increasing demandfor proteins and fats — includingmeat, dairy products and some oilcrops—from our military forces andour Allies, Mr. Wickard said theAmerican people will probably haveto live more on vegetable fats andproteins than they formerly did."We have about reached the placenow where we cannot expand ourmeat production any more," he said,"because we are not going to haveenough of the basic element—feed—to support much more increase."
LABOR MANHUNT:French Fight Nazis
Adolf Hitler's desperate need formanpower had caused the Nazi toput more than usual pressure onthe collaborative Laval regime formore French workers.
The German demand had beenfor 400,000 men. When Nazi sol-diers abetted by the Vichy govern-ment set out to meet this "'oal thetrouble started.
Street fighting, guerrilla tacticsand sabotage were the French Pa-triots' answer to this effort to bol-ster Germany's waning manpowerresources. Reports received by theFighting French in London indicat-ed that in a single 72-hour uprising,more than 350 German soldiers hadbeen killed.
Swift and cruel were the reprisalstaken for this insubordination. Butthe repressive measures only servedto fan the flames of French hatredagainst the German conquerors.
H I G H L I G H T S in the week's news
CHICAGO: With an abundance ofbilling and cooing, 5,605 fast-flyingdoves were drafted in Chicago forthe army, reducing the city's peace-time pigeon population by one-sixth.The war first drafted a big groupof racing pigeons from the city ayear ago. These traditional sym-bols of pe^ace were reported in ac-tion from Bataan to Britain, ac-cording to a report received here.
WASHINGTON: How Lieut. Ches-ter W. Nimitz Jr., son of the Pa-cific admiral, won the silver starmedal was disclosed in a navy re-port. The citation made public heresays young Nimitz served with "con-spicuous gallantry and intrepidity"as torpedo and gunnery officer andlater as executive officer on two warpatrols. During a third patrol nearJava, he also won distinction.
Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, P«rv,Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Egypt,
Saudi Arabia, Chile.
The above chart shows at a glancewhich nations of the world have de-clared war against the others. Ofall the United Nations only three—Britain, Czechoslovakia and China—have declared war on the entireAxis tribe. The U.nited States ex-cepts Finland which yet may be in-duced to quit the Axis.
PACIFIC FRONT:Jap Power Wanes
In the Far Eastern war theater,reports from China disclosed thatthe main Japanese offensive inWestern Yunnan province along theold Burma road had been halted onthe west bank of the Salween river.Waning enemy air power in theBurma-China area was indicated byAllied reports that repeated attacksby American and British fliers onJap objectives had failed to lure anyNipponese planes into battle.
On the Solomon Islands battle-front, American planes roved to thenorthward raiding Kahili, Buin andBallale in the Shortland Islands areaand Viru Harbor in New Georgia.The Japs retaliated with a raid onTulagi close to Guadalcanal.
Summarizing the situation in thePacific, Secretary of the Navy FrankKno3? said that American forces arestronger than ever before in theSolomon Islands sector whilethroughout the South Pacific, theJaps are having increasing difficul-ty in supplying their island bases.
Without adequate shipping, thesecretary explained, the Japs cannotmaintain their South Pacific basesand face further retirement.
ANTI-VICHY:Action in No. Africa
Increasing evidence that Gen.Henri Giraud's North Africa regimewill move steadily further awayfrom Vichy influences and ever clos-er to the democratic methods ofthe United Nations was seen in thehigh commissioner's summary ac-tion in repudiating all Petain de-crees relating to African colonial af-fairs and liquidating the entire gov-ernment bureau concerned with re-strictions on Jews.
"A decree signed in Vichy has noeffect in North Africa/'' was Gi-raud's terse explanation. "The Ger-man occupation interrupted the freeexercise of national sovereignty."
General Giraud's action followedthat of Governor General Nogues ofFrench Morocco reinstating govern-ment workers dismissed underVichy's orders and repealing the banon listening to certain foreign broad-casts. In repealing the Vichy anti-Semitic decrees, High CommissionerGiraud ordered General Bounty, whodealt with Jewish problems, to beremoved from office.
CHINA:Destiny9s Crossroads
A 10-year reconstruction programfor China, including the building of20,000 transport planes, was pro-posed by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in his book, "China's Destiny."
While his wife, Madame Chiang,was busy winning friends for Chinaon her visit to the United States, theGeneralissimo disclosed plans call-ing for 2,460,000 graduates from va-rious grades of technical schools toaid in developing postwar China.

Are you, Mr. Taxpayer, gettingyour money's worth from the dol-lars returned by the State of Michi-gan to Tuscola County for en-forcement of liquor laws?
Here? are some interesting facts:1. Municipalities and townships
in Tuscola County received the sumof $7,967.05 last year from theState of Michigan for the purposeof enforcing liquor laws within thecounty. For the 83 counties theallocations totaled $2,420,889.52.
2. The above allocation to Tus-cola County represented 85 per centof all license fees- paid by personsor firms for the privilege of sellingalcoholic beverages by the bottle,or by the glass, or possibly both,depending upon the wish of thelocal public.
3. If the licensed establishmentis within a town, 85 per cent of itsfee is returned to the municipalityto help pay the salary of the villagemarshal, the local police and other-wise to maintain the law enforce-ment service.
4. If the licensed establishmentis outside of a town, this percent-age is returned to the township-board—also for the same purpose.
One weakness in the above sys-tem whereby local towns and town-ships derive a substantial revenuefrom the sale of liquor, is the fact—whether you like it or not—that,in some instances this revenue hasbecome almost a "vested right" inthe minds of local officials for usein any way they see fit.
We know of instances in Michi-gan where a town government willorder its police officers to stay outof licensed places even for the pur-pose of inspections, and yet gladlyreceive the allocation of licensefees for purpose of law enforce-ment!
We're not arguing the point. Butin the state law the burden of en-forcement of the law (at least 85per cent of it) is placed squarelyupon local officials.
Let's look at the language: "Thesheriffs of the several counties andtheir deputies and the village mar-shal, constables, officers or mem-bers of the village or city police,and members of the department ofstate police, and inspectors ofthe state commission, are herebyempowered and it is hereby madetheir duty to see that the provisionsof this act and the rules and regu-lations made or authorized by saidcommission are enforced withintheir respective jurisdictions."
N0thi»g vague about that,Furthermore, failur§ to enforce
the law or even "wilful tteglect"makes the official subject- to a fift6not to exceed $500 or a jail sen-tence not mere tha& 90 days, orboth.
This pelalty is imposed by thestate legislature, and the section ofthe law begins with these words:"The people of the State of Michi-gan enact".
Another weakness in the presentsystem is the fact that while thesheriif is held responsible, hederives no part of the state's lawenforcement funds. And that goesalso for the prosecuting attorney.
Glenn Dunn, chairman of thestate commission by appointment ofGovernor Harry F. Kelly, informsus that he personally favors achange in the law whereby 35 percent of local license revenues wouldbe returned to the county govern-ment and earmarked by the countytreasurer for use by the sheriff andprosecuting attorney for the spe-cific purpose of enforcing liquorlaws.
A three-man committee, com-prising the prosecutor, sheriff and
I the chairman of the finance com-mittee of the county board ofsupervisors, would be given powerto allocate the 35 per cent fund andsee that it was expended effi-ciently.
In many counties this 35 per centfund (figure it out yourself fromyour counties total share) wouldmake possible the employment ofspecial deputies and an assistantprosecutor whose main duties wouldbe to keep conditions clean in therural roadside taverns and hot-spots.
Take Marquette county as anexample. The county has 88 tavernsor places where alcoholic beveragesare consumed.
Last year the county received$29,918. Under Mr. Dunn's plan thecounty treasurer would ear-mark$12,318 to finance the costs of spe-cial deputies and an assistantprosecutor. Transcripts of all caseswould be sent to Lansing.
Maybe this plan isn't the best inthe world. But it does possessobvious merit of having law "en-forcement by local officials whoshould know local conditions., Ifyou leave the'job to the state, thenyou must expect a hit-and-miss jkind of law enforcement. State jinspectors make a flying visit, joften catch the more decent oper- |ators in an occasional violation, and ]then the citizenry howls about the jresults. I
Dancing at rural taverns should 'be abolished outright, at least inthe judgment of state inspectors.
Minors are attracted to theseplaces of entertainment. Violationsoccur. But here again the homecommunity has a social obligation.
As one state official put it, "Ifsmall towns would assume someresponsibility for providing rec-reation for their young people, theywould have less difficulty on thisscore. Sturgis has a night club forhigh school youngsters run by acreamery. We never have troublethere. In s,ome • towns the Legionpost opens its hall several nightsa week to young people."
Do you agree with him? And ifso, what is your town doing aboutit.
Penalties are also an importantfactor in law enforcement. Ifpenalties are stiff, licensees are aptto be more careful. The new statecommission, headed by ChairmanDunn, is imposing heavier penaltiesthan did the former commission,and it is interesting to note thatthe former commission got pro-gressively tougher the longer itstayed in office. Yes, the trend isdefinitely toward stiffer penalties.
This liquor problem is as old asthe hills. We have only touchedupon a few aspects of it. We mightsum up our observation as follows:
Enforcement of liquor laws ischiefly a home rule responsibility.
By-the-glass licensees must getapproval of township, village orcity boards before the state willissue a license, and the state mustrevoke any license if the local boardrequests 'such action.
State control of the liquor busi-ness is to be preferred to a returnto bootlegging, speakeasies, AlCapone gangsterism and otherevils. In other words, we concurwith majority opinion. Our hometown is bone dry. We prefer that,also.
But state control means just that—control. And here we get/ rightback to you, Mr. Taxpayer. Areyou getting your money's worth?
