Again the Big Three, American Secretary of State Byrnes, British Foreign Secretary Bevin and So- viet Foreign Commissar Molotoff, are mecting in an effort to close the dangerous gaps in their unity, It is the tfth meeting for states men of the "grand alliance" since the beginning of the year. None of their earlier meetings had re- solved the fundamental differences among them. Now they are try- ing again this time in Moscow. No. 1 Problem Of the three main topics up for discussion at the conference the control of atoniic energy has No. 1 priority. It is a subject that touch- es every phase of Big Three dif- ferences and is believed to have deepened Russia's distrust of the west, says the New' York Times, Lertain that other nations can duplicate the bomb in a period of Nears, Britain and America want "te turn the probem of control over to a special commission of UNO and keep the sceret themselves until adequate controls can be established. Mr. Byrnes and Mr, Bevin will try to secure Soviet approval of this plan, while reassuring Mos- cow of their own good intentions in temporarily monopolizing the decisive weapon. Two difficulties were seen: (1) that Russia might demand an immediate sharing of the secret as the price of approv- ing UNO control, (2) that, fearing the power Britain and America could wield in UNO, Russia might decline the arrangement, putting her trust in her own scientists, Pattern of Peace The second topic--a general peace cenference--had long been one of the chief points of diifer- ence between the United States and Russia. The Russian view has been that the Big Three must of necessity draw the basic pattern of the peace settlements, since they are the only nations powerful enough to enforce the agreements. "WITCH" ACQUITTED After serving 13 years on conviction of murder of a roomer, Mrs. Rose Veres, above, 64-year-old Hungar- ian-born Detroiter, has been de- clared "innocent" by a retrial jury of eight men and four women. Mrs, Veres, once known as "The Witch of Delray," was accused of pushing Steve Mak out an attic -- window to collect his insurance. Photo above was taken at time of first trial, Washington's view has been that other nations should partitipate in the treaty-making, since the re. sults will have vital effect on their interests, The difference was stated. by Mr. Byrnes after the breakdown of the London five power meeting as one of an en- forced peace versus an agreed- upon peace. 3 Trouble Zones The third big problem involves an attempt to lessen friction be- tween Russia and the western Al- Sunday School Lesson December 30 World Fellowship of Christians Lesson: Acts 10:34--43, Golder Text The same Lord over. all is rich unto all that call upon Him. Ro- mans 10:12, Peter's Sermon Acts 10:34.--The eyes ot Peter had been opened as a result of his vis- ion. Now he had learned that God had respect for the Gentiles as well as for the Jews; that He loved both Jews and Gentiles; that salvation was not exclusive to the Jewish nation. 35. ~The man who honors God and keeps His law, and is a true wor- shipper of God according to his light and privileges is approved by God. Cornelius had faith in God and his sincerity was proved in that he embraced Christ as his Saviour when the truth was revealed to him. Christ, the Messiah J6-38--At His baptism the Lord received the anointing otf the Holy Spirit. 'That He was the Messiah was proved by His works of power and goodness. In those simple words, "Who went about doing good," we have such a true de- scription" of the Lord Jesus. He did good because perfect goodness was one of His attributes. First-Hand Witnesses 39-40.-- The truth of the historical facts of Christ's death and resur- rection is confirmed by men who were first-hand witnesses. Our faith is built not only on our spir- itual experience of Christ, but on a solid foundation of incontestable fact. It was unnecessary for Christ to show Himself to "all the people" to prove the truth of His ressurrec- tion. Even though He had done so many would not have Him. Salvation for All 42-43.--\When our Lord command- ed His disciples to preach the Gos- pel he gave them a wide commis- sion, tc teach all nations. The prophets fortold that all nations would he blessed through" the com- ing of Christ, and that salvation would be given to all who called on Him. The calling and salvation of the Gentiles was seen afar off. Here is a great truth. "Through His Name whosoever believeth in Him shall reccive remission of sins." The word "whosoever" em- braces everybody. Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee 1.

When the beam hits a lamp-post, a fence or any such obstacle, its light reflects back to a lens and is focused on a photo- clectric cell. A gentle buzz in an earphone warns him that the ob- stacle is near. The blind man can tell its direction by pointing his box. He can learn to tell how far away it is by the length of the buzz, One problem in designing the instrument was to eliminate false signals from sunshine or artificial light. So the beam was made to pulsate like the radio waves from a radar transmitter, and the photo- electric tube v.as made insensitive to non-pulsating light, At present, the "optical cane" is heavy (nine pounds) and cannot "see" narrow obstacles such as banging wires. The signal corps intends to iron out all such com- paratively minor faults before of- fering its invention to. the blind. Important Day New Year's is the biggest festiv- al of the year in China.

"tign, "truck and came LIGHTNING : U4 HELEN TOPPING MILLER CHAPTER XII "Mr. Mason, why not wait a lit- tle? GriceMorgan may decide to put a tést well on Harper's land. If they should do that--and the well came in, you'd know definitely that it was worth while going ahead with this proposition. And if they get a dry hole, you will lave saved yourself a lot of trouble and money." "If they did get a dry hole," ar- gued Harvey stubbornly, "that wouldn't prove that there wasn't oil_on my place, Maybe I've got oil and there isn't any on Harper's land. That would be a swell joke on the old buzzard, wouldn't it?" Already, in his racing imagina- Harvey was completely de- tached from the present, Adelaide was too busy to drive Gary over into the oil field, "It's the dance at the country club, Gary--the spring dance, It's supposed to be Friday night and I'm on the decorating committee." Gary grinned. "Now we return to the original question, which is-- how am 1 going to get to east Tex as | could go on the bus but it "would take all day to walk around the field after I got there. I'd lose a lot of time." "Get Mother to drive you over. It will do her good to get out. And don't forget, you're invited to the dance, Gary." Gary said, a trifle stiffly. "Sorry --I'm afraid I'll be busy." Think- ing that his best suit would look shabby at a dance, no matter what a cleaner could do for it--and, of course, Adelaide would be going with some other fellow--Bob Fer- guson, probably, * * * When the big red coficrete ma- chine came roaring up the drive, Harvey had not been able as yet to complete Beianaements about wa- ter. ' Adelaide sat, excitedly, on an overturned chicken coop, watching the forms being put together and . the cement poured in. The rigging crew arrived, and Gary 'watched them piling off the truck, and gave a shout. "Bill Grant! You old son-of-a-gun!"' A tall, bronzed, muscular young fellow took a broad jump off the running, "Hi-- Gary! What the heck are you do- ing here " They beat each other on the back and pumped , hands, while Adelaide watched, "Putting down this well. Ade- laide, this is Bill Grant, the rotten- est football player that-ever fum- bled a ball. Bill wag in schoo] with me. What are you doing with © this bunch, .Bill?" "Still sticking 'em up.

He strode away, his long legs swinging in easy rythm. "He's nice--I 'like him," Ade- laide said. "I'll invite him to the dance." "He should be through and gone by Friday," : "Oh, he'll toy] know he will ~ bear's grease on my hair. if 1 ask him." "Listen. Adelaide, Don't count on me for that dance. I'm all crippled up and I haven't the right clothes--" "Oh, Gary, don't be such a mug! Why, I turned down a half a doz- en dates to go to that dance with you. Don't you want to. take me?" "Oh, Great Scott--" he burned with confusion, "Of coyrse 1 want to! But--I thought you'd have an- other date--" "You're sweet, Gary." She pat ted his -arm and he forebore to. wince when she hit a lame spot. "It's too bad you are so awfully dumb!" . * % » The shining steel went up and Gary's heart seemed to soar with it, to weave a glittering web against the April sky. He did not climb, because his grip was stil) precarious, but he was rigging that derrick in his mind, clinching every bolt, swinging up every humming beam. . At noon he sent word to the house by Slim that he was stay- ing on the job and sat down with the rigging crew to share the lunch that had been brought out. in the clattering truck. Bill Grantshad declined the invi- tation to have lunch at the house, because he was wearing working clothes and hadn't had -time to shave for a couple of days. "If I'd known I was, going to meet a girl like that, I'd have put on some clean corduroys, and Some guys have all the luck. This Ma. son has money, hasn't he? Any man who'll put a wildcat down on Ing own must have a roll. Mayhe I won't go down to the coast. May- be I'll stick around for that dance. I can always get a job."
