THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. STIFF COLLARS, CUFFS TAKE ALL . . . Yours Truly, for More Flexible Shirt Tails . . . THE 'STARCH' OUT OF PHILLIPS tiy H. I. PHILLIPS •NO STARCH' ##«|«HEY STARCHED my shirts again,” we said to the wife. “Well, don’t say it so accusing ly,” she replied. “I didn’t do it. It’s the laundry.” "But the laundry has been told again and again not to put any starch in ’em,” we said. “I’m all in from repeating the ord ’No starch’ to it,” said the fwor wife. "What does the laundry say?” “It says ‘O. K.! No starch.’ ” “And back it comes starched in technicolor, with the collars on summer shirts as hard as lawn-mower blades, and the cuffs so hard you have to but ton them with a chisel and hammer. Why don’t we change laundries?” we moaned. “Hah!” snorted the missus, GRACE NOLL CROWELLi The Everlasting Arms /J 1 ROUND me and about me and beneath me, r JM Closer than breathing, closer than any friend. The everlasting arms draw near to shield me. To comfort and to keep me to the end. Earthly arms grow weary in their holding. Earthly arms may fail the weight they bear. But oh, these everlasting arms, enfolding. Have never one brief moment failed me there. I wake each morning in their blessed keeping, I rise to serve, or wait his blessed will. Life passes—whether waking, whether sleeping, God’s everlasting arms will hold me still. “Change ’em and what do you get?” “More starch,” we suggested. “Exactly! The laundries or the laundry workers are in a great national conspiracy in restraint *of soft collars and cuffs. They are in a secret society dedicated to the use of starch. Their motto is ‘You’ll take starch and like it!’ *’ • • • We resolved to investigate. We spread our shirts among different laundries. Our routine was the same at each laundry. “Does this laundry do shirts without starching them?” we asked. “Certainly. All you gotta do is specify you don’t want no starch, mister.” “I so specify. Do you want it in writing?" “Naw. I’ll put a note on it “no starch.’ Then it goes through and comes out with no starch.” “I’ve been putting notes ‘no starch’ on my shirts for years,” we said. The laundryman looked sur prised. “I can’t remember that,” he said. “Are you sure they came back starched?” "Look at my neck. You think those red circles are from rope?” we demanded. • • • "Some laundries are careless, you know how it is. With us when a customer says no starch he gets no starch. We got a system.” “What is it?” “We have a starch department and a no-starch department. All the stuff that don’t want starch goes to the starch department. Also we got a starch superintend ent and a no-starch superintendent. And on top of that we got starch and no-starch classification clerks and inspectors. Here’s something else, we don’t use mhch starch anyhow, even if you ask for starch.” “So these shirts will come back, with no starch then?” “You can take my starch—beg pardon—my word for it." “Positively no starch!” “Positively! ” The laundry came back in a few days. We felt confident and carefree as we opened it. Then we leaped through the second story window. “I know,” called the wife, look ing out, “Starch!” “Starch,” we admitted, crawling from the shrubbery, cut and bleed ing. • • • VIDEO AND EDUCATION College courses by television are now being announced. We suppose the grads will win iceboxes instead of diplomas. * And get minkskins instead of sheepskins. * We can see it all now . . . the baccalaureate by Howdy Doody. * But a lot of people have felt that our educational system flickered too much as it is. * Personally we feel that edu cation hasn’t been dramatic enough. A jackpot could have helped us through ancient his tory. And we are positive that we would have done better under our professors if they had introduced puppets in the Latin, French and mathemat ics courses. * We just had to get an education, such as it was, by study. We had no outside aerial. * But now we are entering an era when ignorance may be easily at tributable to the fact that the set was connected up poorly and lacked a "booster.” • » • Your education may become a little dependent on fuses and you may find that your low scholarship resulted from a small screen. • • • Ira Hirschbaum, former educa tion and now a video official, makes the announcement that Hunter college will make the first tests in video education, with his tory the first televised subject.

The Fiction * ON BU Corner CmpCC By JlllLJJ « Richard H Wilkinson By INEZ GERHARD P RETTY ROSEMARY PETTIT thinks she’s just like any Ameri can girl; had no exotic birthplace for Hollywood to make a fuss about—she was born in Tulsa, Ok- la. She went to high school and college, one year, in California, where she lives. She had to go to New York for Hollywood to dis cover her and take her back for bits in Michael Curtiz productions. ; ROSEMARY PETTIT She returned to New York to study, went back again, really ready for ttlms this time. You will see her In Warners’ "The Lady Takes a Sailor,” and later in Curtiz* “Young Man with a Horn,” for which she’s just gone west, after a season in summer stock at Prince ton, N. J. Paul Henreid, seen currently in ’aramount’s “Rope of Sand," will e long remembered for his ap- earance as the family counselor n ‘The Second Mrs. Burton” Aug- st 81. Vitally interested in doing rhat he can to further the conquer- ag of polio, Henreid’s own experi- nces when a member of his family ras struck by the disease gave im touching material for his talk. Joan Crawford’s six-year-old son, Christopher, believes that his mother is the bravest wom an in the world. So does Joan.

W HEN DOUG PRINGLE signed a contract to illustrate stories for Midweek Fiction magazine at a figure that surpassed any amount he had earned in the rather uncer tain past, he felt that he had reached a mile stone in his ca reer. “Now,” he de clared to his wife, Aggie, “we can begin to have a few of the things we’ve been doing without for the past seven years.” “And the first thing we’ll have" Aggie told him, “will be a nice little camp on Spur Lake where you can work amid surroundings that you love and where, accord ingly, things will be easier for both of us.” “The camp,” he told her gravely, “will come immedi ately after Mrs. Pringle ha* replenished her wardrobe.” It turned out that Aggie could have her new clothes and they could purchase the camp and not feel too extravagant They went up to Spur Lake the following week and talked to a real estate agent. They had been there many times before. They knew just what they wanted for a camp site and where they wanted it. That afternoon the real estate agent made the easiest sale he’d transacted in years. The Pringles sat down and made up a schedule of guests for week ends. They wanted to have com pany. This was the first time they had lived in a place big enough to hold guests conveniently. They were eager to share their posses sion. And so two weeks later the first guests arrived. Doug and Aggie slept in the work room and every thing was fine. All hands had a swell time. The guests departed in high enthusiasm. In fact, their en thusiasm apparently bubbled over, for in the middle of the following week some friends dropped in who had “heard so much about the cute little camp the Pringles had bought.” Aggie and Doug asked them to stay over night and they did. The summer hadn’t progressed very far when Doug decided they ought to turn the present work shop into another bedroom. “I’ll build a studio for myself down by the lake. It seems there are a lot of people who are just dying to see our cute little camp. Gosh! After all, I’m a working man.” It’s fun having guests, though,” Aggie said. “Sure,” Doug agreed. So the Pringles built a studio for Doug, a rather attractive building that added to the general outlay. He moved into it with all his equip ment—and the next week-end Ag gie moved in with him. In August the Hollands ar rived. The Hollands were bores. Steve Holland belonged to Doug’s golf club. They were friends of soipe of the Pringles’ friends. H OWEVER, they arrived and Mrs. Holland spied the studio and wanted to look at it. Aggie smiled wearily. She was getting used to this sort of thing. She led them down to Doug’s workshop and Mrs. Holland peeked inside. "Why, there’s no one there!” she exclaimed. Aggie nodded. "Doug’s away. On business.” The Hollands were disappointed at not being able to see the artist at work, but there was nothing they could do about it. They de parted shortly after. At dinner time Doug came home. He was in high spirits. “I’ve found just the place I wanted. A room right in the heart of Goodwin’s business district. Plenty of noise and dust—a place where a man can do a real day’s work without being bothered." Aggie smiled fondly. ‘The Brants are arriving tomor row.” "Swell!” said Doug. "Show them the works and tell them I’m away —on business." »flD PUZILE LAST WEEK'S ANSWER 9. 10. 11. 12. 14. 15. 16. 19. 20. 21. 23. 26. 27, 28. 29. 30. 34. 37. 38. 39. 41. 42. 43. 44.

Lesson for September 4, 1949 ★ ★ ★ ★ - SCRIPTURE: P*alm» 49:1-7; TZ; 81. DEVOTIONAL READING: Psalm 72: 1-8, 12-13. HOUSttiOlD Memos • M M ^ r'-’j'- i i- ...... E verybody is in favor of jus tice but not everybody knows what justice is. Justice is more fundamental than democracy. If we believe that democracy is the best form of government, it is only because we believe that justice can be better secured in this way than in any other. • • • Justice is as old as God Since for at least 3,000 years his torians, politicians, philosophers and theolo g i a n s have been wrang ling over the mean ing of justice, you won’t learn the last word about it mere ly by studying one Sunday school les son. But this is the place to remind ourselves that jus tice as an ideal, D r . Foreman and democracy as a means of reaching that ideal were not bom yesterday. Labor Day will recall the great service* rendered to de mocracy by the organized workers of the world, for ex ample, in the push they have given to free and universal ed ucation. But democracy Is older than the labor movement, is older than July 4, 1776, is older than the Magna Charta, is old er than the Roman empire, in which one of many mottoes was "Let justice be done even if the sky caves In!” Justice and democracy go back to the ancient Hebrews, the people who wrote the Old Testament. It was written in their laws, preached by their prophets, sung in their Psalms. But of course they did not invent it. They proclaimed it; but jurtic® is older than the human race Hie whole Bible and not only the Old Testament teaches that jus tice is rooted in the nature of God hiniself. No unjust person can be called godly. • • • Songs of Justice O UR Psalms for this week give us some valuable li^ht on what justice is. Some people think that if everybody were rich, that would be justice. Psalm 49 shows how foolish that notion is. It says in al most so many words, “You can t take it with you.” Riches do not spell happiness. Making everybody rich might mean making many people miserable. Money by itself does not cure the ills of life, it may make them wofse or even create new ones. Many a fam ily in the “upper brackets” has troubles that would vanish if they had less money. Psalms 72 and 82 give us more positive suggestions. Psalm 72 sees it as the king’s main duty to Judge the people with righteousness and justice. The *king was the govern ment, in those days; he was the executive and the legislative and the judicial branch of government all rolled into one. In modern terms, the business of government is something more than furnishing police to lock up and punish wrongs after they have been done. The welfare of the people is the concern of government. When pub lic officials take any other view of their job, they are off the beam. In a democracy, the government is the people, that is to say, ourselves. If things are bad we are to blame for it; if they are going to be any better, we shall have to work for it. Every appeal to a king, in the Old Testament, when translated into terms of a democratic coun try, means an appeal to the peo ple. # • • The Little People J USTICE always has to be con cerned with the little people. It was true in the simple little world of the ancient Hebrews, it is just as true in our global complex world, that the strong will always exploit the weak if there is not a hand to stop them. God is always for the "poor,” the “chUdren of the needy,” and be is always against the “oppressor.” In ancient Israel the oppressor was usually the big land-owner who treated his slaves with cruelty or under paid his workers. Nowadays the oppressor is any exploiter, any man or group of men who will use power to squeeze out or crush down the little man. But justice is positive, not nega tive, prevention and not cure only. Concern for social justice includes taking care of people laid low by an epidemic or made homeless by fires; but it goes far beyond this. It will mean working for conditions such that no one will be forced to live in unsanitary firetraps.

Released wm mm® Serve Good Breakfasts for Play-Packed Days fS«« Recipes Below> Breakfast Essentials T hough its “summer time and the livin’ is easy,” many of us find the season just like the rest of the year, busy and activity packed. With youngsters out of school, full of vigor and ready to play at top speed just as soon as the sun is up, days start early and are full, for mother as well as the youngsters. Since young sters are up bright and early, eager to get out of the house to the fascinating work of play as quickly as possible, mother has to keep on her toes to see that they get a good breakfast. Children bum a lot of energy on days when they can play as they want, and they should be properly fortified with nutritious food. Good breakfasts are simple and easy to prepare. The meal should include at least these five essen tials; fruit, cereal with milk, bread, butter and a beverage, which for youngsters should be milk or cocoa. You may add to these essentials bacon, eggs, ham, sausage, creamed chipped beet and such things, but at least you know that you’ll be doing a good job with the five "musts.” Vary breakfast cereals to keep interest at a high level. A bowl of hot oatmeal, rich in body-building proteins, thiamine, niacin and iron, can be just as tempting in warm weather as cool if topped with cold milk and some of the season’s fresh and choice fruit. The next day serve a prepared cereal, then switch back to cooked cereal qnd so forth. * • • D ON’T UNDERESTIMATE the value of hot bread for break fast and appetite appeal. Here are some muffins with the nutty flavor of oatmeal which are bound to please as they come hot out of the oven with butter melting on them. As a special time-saving feature, the muffins are made from a home made oatmeal muffin mix.

J UST AS VARIETY in cereals ia desirable for breakfast, so it is with eggs. Here are some simple but different ways of serving this nutritious food. Frizzled Eggs (Serves 4) 34 pound chipped beef 4 teaspoons butter 4 eggs, beaten 34 teaspoon pepper 34 cup milk Cook dried beef in butter until slightly crisp. Combine eggs, pep per and milk and mix well. Pour over beef and cook as for scram bled eggs. Serve with catsup or pre serves, if desired. Eggs in Bacon Rings (Serves 6) 6 slices bacon 6 eggs Salt and pepper 3 English Muffins, split, toasted, buttered Grease bottoms of custard cups. Curl a slice of bacon around inside of each cup. Break an egg inside each bacon ring, dust with salt and pepper, and bake in a moder ate oven (350°) until egg is firm but not hard. Remove carefully from cup so that egg and bacon remain together and place on half the English muffin. Note: The bacon may be fried or broiled be fore placing in the cup, if more crisp bacon is desired. Poached Eggs in Apple Rings (Serves 6) 2 large apples 2 tablespoons fat 6 eggs Salt and pepper Wash and core apples; cut cross wise into slices 34 inch thick. Fry apples in fat 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Place an egg on each apple slice and season with salt and pep per. Cover pan closely and cook over low heat until eggs are firm. Lobster needs little to make a delicious salad. Combine flaked lobster with some Thousand Island dressing and serve on a bed of greens. Stuffed olives, hard-cooked eggs and chopped chives give chilled tuna fish an unusual flavor when used for salads. Extend crabmeat with cooked halibut when you plan to serve a crowd with a casserole or as a salad. Celery, sweet pickle and lemon juice will bring out flavors when they’re seryed as salad.
