COMMUNITY CONFIDENCE
(BY CLAYTON RAND)
“He who has lost confidence
can lose nothing more—Boiste
To believe in one’s self—to believe
in one’s neighbors—how essential to
good business!
The chronic knocks at everything
except the door of opportunity. See
ing no good in himself, he vents his
spleen upon his neighbors and be
comes a thorn in the side of the com
munity.
Pushing and pulling together, with
the right view point, in the militant
cause of a community’s fortunes and
prosperity finally flows again in a
golden stream.
Give my community . unbelievers,
and it plays a dirge in the march of
events. Give my community more
believers and I’ll show you a citizen
ship working miracles.
Community* confidence is the key
stone to civic and commercial achieve
ment. Cultivate it.

THE MESS THAT WE DREAD
(By H. H. Woodward, Editor
Horry Herald.)
In our private lives we may be
indiscreet. Our business gets ball
ed up. Many get into trouble
without a thought. Only the few
of us will escape at some time or
other. Private business is not all.
Our public business runs the same
way.
In private business, if we find
that we hired the wrong man, we
fire him. In politics it seems that
the bigger the misfit the man for
the longer we let him stay.
Just as we come to grief in any
private- undertaking where the
management is bad, no good judg
ment used and blunders made, so
it is bound to be in our political
and governmental affairs.
Taking it all in all, there is hard
ly any worse condition than what
we have come to. In the after-the
war period we forgot that there is
any such thing as normal times.
The price of everything was high,
instead cf saving we spent. In
stead of paying debts we made
debts. We elected careless and
unsuccessful men to office and
created new help for them. We
increased their pay. We expand
ed the school system on the idea
,hat better pay would mean better
teachers. We created whe high
schools. The school bus was in
vented. More and better public
service was the cry. The state
ewes us a duty. Let’s “have it. Let’s
pay for it. So the game of high
flying went on in both public and
private. We removed the imit on
Pond issues. We built new school
louses, new roads. In addition to
,he bond issues we taxed and
igain taxed only to find now that
iven with all this there is a deficit
n the state finances of five million
dollars, a deficit of more or less
in every county, a deficit in about
two thirds of all the school dis
tricts and, no way yet determined
to pay off these debts whereby we
had borrowed against the future
collection of taxes that are slower
and slower in their collection.
I am sorry that the people could
not see where they were drifting
and in good time had changed the
men in charge of these public af
fairs. They didn’t. Things are
tangled up. They are gfettlllg more
and more so with each session of
the General Assembly. There is no
majority in either branch to stand
for curtailment at a time when
this has become necessary. They
are in the hands of the interests
that have been drawing big pay
out of tax funds. They refuse to
listen. They are in the grip of the
public servant classes who have no
respect for the hewers of wood and
drawers of water. The good of the
farmer is the last thing they will
think about. It is impossible to
collect the taxes that will be re
quired to meet the appropriations
they have just made for the year
of 1931.
How will we ever get any relief?
The only way I see is to organise
against it and decide at last that
we must clean out the dirty stables
and put enough men in who will
stand for economy and retrench
ment. As I have said there is a
readjustment that will force itself
upon us with no end of suffering
and damage, unless we show a lit
tle sense and take the right steps
before the disaster comes.

Training The Leaders
For Rural Recreation
1“
ANDERSON, May 16.—More than
50 leaders of the 4-H clubs of An
derson, Greenville, Pickens, Oconee,
Abbeville, Laurens and Green
wood counties attended the com
bination Rural Recreation Leader
ship and Dramatic Training
courses directed by John Bradford
and Jack Stuart Knapp, of the
National Recreation Association,
respectively, held in the Boys’ High
School, auditorium during the
evenings of May 12 to 15.
Mr. Bradford conducted a daily
two-hour session on recreation ac
tivities, such as community sing
ing, music appreciation, group
games and dances, and party pro
grams, a two-hour session under
Mr. Knapp being devoted to direct
ing plays for rural groups.
These training courses are given
in co-operation with the agricul
tural Extension Service through
arrangement with the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture and are
aimed primarily at training of 4-H
club leaders and others for bet
terment of rural life. Other courses
given in South Carolina by Messrs.
Bradford and Knapp were at Aiken,
April 6-9, and at Sumter, May 5-8.
Roast Always
Right With Meat
Thermometer
“Done to a turn,” is what every
homemaker likes to have said
about the roast which is placed up
on her table. But how to always
be sure that it will be? The roast-
meat thermometer is the answer.
Housewives long have been fam
iliar with the convenience of the
sandy thermometer in making
icings, jellies, etc. The roast-meat
hermometer is a newer product,
but it is one which has become in
dispensable in households where it
has been used.
Time and Temperature Important
To insure uniform results in
roasting, time and temperature
must be regulated as exactly as
possible, just as they must be in
cake making. In most households
the time-weight relation is used
to tell when the meat is cooked to
the desired degree of doneness—
that is, at a given temperature a
roast of a certain weight is allow
ed to cook so many minutes per
pound. And right here is where
difficulties are encountered. It is
not always possible to control oven
temperature with exactness, and
the amount of fat and bone also
affect the time of roasting, there
fore it is difficult to give definitely
the number of minutes per pound,
“With a meat thermometer all
these difficulties are overcome,”
says Inez S. Willson, home econ
omist. The oven temperature may
/ary within reasonable limits, the
amount of fat and bone may not
be the same as in the 'ast roast or
the next one, but the degree of
doneness will be the same, always,
If the roast is cooked to the same
internal temperature each time.
The meat thermometer registers
the temperature at the center of
the roast and experiments have
proved to what stage the meat will
be cooked at certain temperatures.
For a Rare Roast
If the family likes its roast rare,
it will always be rare if the roast
is cooked until che thermometer
.egisters 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Different kinds of meat will
'how different internal tempera-
;ures when done. For a rare roast
7eef. the thermometer reading will
)e 140 degrees Fahrenheit; for a
nedium rare roast it will read 160
legrees Fahreneheit; and for a
Veil-done roast the intefnal tem-
lerature will be 180 degrees Fah-
/enheit. Lamb is usually cooked
,o the well-done stage and it is
masted to 182 degrees Fahrenheit.
For those who desire the lamb
roast a little under done, 175 de
grees Fahrenheit is the proper tem
perature to which to roast it. Pork
is cooked to 185 degrees Fahren
heit.
The thermometer does not take
he place of the oven regulator. Its
purpose is not the same and in
n'der to get the best results the
>ven temperature should be regul-
ted to those temperatures which
are best adapted for roasting; but
vhere the home-maker must de
fend on the old methods of de-
erming whether she has a slow, a
moderate, or a hot oven, the roast-
neat thermometer takes the guess
vork out of roasting. Most direc-
ions for roasting say that the
meat should be placed in a hot
wen (480-500 degrees Fahrenheit,)
until brown, then cooked in a mod-
2rate oven (300-325 degrees Fah
renheit), until the desired internal
emperature as registered by the
roast-meat thermometer is reach
ed.
Use Thermometer This Way
The thermometer is very simple
-,o use. The bulb of the roast-
meat thermometer is inserted in a
oast of beef so that the bulb
•eaches the center of the eye. It
is well to make a narrow incision
.In the outer fat cover with a knife
or a steel skewer. The thermomet
er is made so that it will withstand
considerable pressure, but making
an incision in which to insert the
thermometer will protect it against
breakage.
In lamb the thermometer is in
serted so that the bulb reaches the
thick round of the leg.
In roasting fresh ham a small
incision should be made through
the rind with a sharp knife or steel
skewer and then short gashes are
cut around the incision with scis
sors; the meat thermometer is in
serted through the opening so that
its bulb reaches the center of the
fleshiest portion of the ham. In
a loin of pork the thermomter is
inserted so that the bulb reaches
the center of the roast. Care
should be taken that it does not
touch bone or fat.

body which is given for you: this do
in remembrance of me.
LESSON TEXT—Luke 22:7-30.

to Remember Him.
JUNIOR TOPIC—How We Can Re
member Jesus.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP-
IG—Meaning of the Lord’s Supper.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-
IG—Meaning of the Lord’s Supper.
I. Jhe Last Passover (vv. 7-18).
1. The Passover prepared (vv. 7-13).
a. Peter and John sent to prepare
the Passover (v. 8). As the time had
arrived for the killing of the Passover,
Jesus commanded these disciples to
make ready for it.
b. The disciples' Inquiry (v. 9).
They inquired of Jesus as to where
they should prepare the Passover. The
true disciple is not only ready to do
the Lord’s bidding, but anxious to
know exactly his will.
c. The Master’s strange directions
(vv. 10-12). They were to go into the
city where they would meet a man
hearing a pitcher of water. The usual
custom was for the women to carry
tiie water. This unusual occurrence
would make It easier for them to find
the man. He assured them that they
world then be shown a lar&e upper
room furnished.
d. The obedience of the disciples
(v. 18). They did as Jesus directed
them. They did not stop to question
the sanity of the command but, as
true disciples, obeyed.
2. Tiie Passover eaten (vv. 14-18).
a. By whom (v. 14). Those who
sat down to this last Passover Feast
were the Master and the twelve
apostles.
b. Jesus’ words unto the disciples
(vv. 15-18).
(1) “I have desired to eat this Pass-
over with you before I suffer” (v. 15).
He greatly desired to show them the
meaning of the passion through which
he was to go.
(2) ‘‘I will not any more eat there
of until it he fulfilled In the kingdom
of God” (v. 10). His death was the
ontltyplenl fulfillment of the Passover.
(3) “Take this cup and .divide it
among yourselves” (vv. 17, 18). By
the token of the cup the disciples were
partaking of his shed Idood. Drink
ing anew in the kingdom of God does
not mean that in heaven this service
will he renewed, but that it was sym
bolic of the heavenly reality.
II. The Feast of the New Covenant
Instituted (vv. 19, 20).
This feast took place at the close of
the paschal supper.
1. The bread a symbol of (Jhrist’s
body (v. 10). As bread nourishes and
strengthens our bodies, so Christ is
food to our spiritual nature. Unless
our souls feed upon Christ, we shall
perish.
2. The cup a symbol of Christ’s
blood (v. 20). This was symbolic of
tiie atonement which was made by the
shedding of his blood on Calvary’s
cross. He said, “This cup is the new
testament in my blood which was shed
for you,” indicating that each one
must personally accept the atonement
made by the shedding of his blood.
III. The Wicked Behavior at the
Feast (w. 21-27).
1. The treachery of Judas (vv.
21-23).
a. The time of its manifestation (v.
21). It was while they were eating
the last Passover that Jesus made the
announcement of tfie betrayal, per
haps that Judas might be given an op
portunity at this last moment to re
pent.
b. The betrayal was by the deter
minate counsel of God (v. 22 Cf. Arts
2:28). Nothing takes place by chance.
Even the sinful acts of wicked men
come within the permissive province
of God. This does not, however, les
sen the guilt of sinners, for Jesus said,
“Woe unto the man by whom he is
betrayed.”
c. The sorrowful question (v. 23).
The disciples did not seem to suspect
one another but made tiie question a
personal one.
2. The selfish ambition of the dis
ciples (vv. 24-27). In this tragic hour
the disciples were so concerned with
the thought of position that they
were striving among themselves as to
who should be tiie greatest.
IV. The Apostles' Place in the King
dom (vv. 28-80).
Jesus assured them that those who
continued with him in his trials would
be appointed a place in tbe Kingdom
which would entitle them to eat and
drink at his table and sit on thrones
judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
In the Redeemer’s Debt
For us, who are deep in the Redeem
er’s debt, who have had much forgiv-
*n,<who every day are bankrupt debt
ors to tbe measureless mercy of infi
nite love—for us no paltriness will
suffice.—C. H. Spurgeon.
Great Things From God
We should expect great things from
God. He is a great God; he Is In the
habit of doing great things. Let us
expect the great things and we shall
have them.—John R. Mott.
