McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, S. C- THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1938 0ft WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON N EW YORK.—As a token of good will. President Kemal Ataturk of Turkey sends his bomb-tossing adopted daughter on a flight over , . Greece and the Feminine Balkans. She holds Bomb Tosaer • a diamond medal Hat Good Aim f? r ^ b 1 ° mb „ in , g Kurds, having out- scored veteran male fliers in a re cent work-out. When the timid and demure Turk ish women started coming out from the harem, they kept right on going. They aeem to be out-distancing our girls who are merely coming out of the kitchen. Turkey's “Flying Amazon” is Sa- biha Gueckchen, twenty-four-year- old daughter of a Turkish army cap tain who was killed fighting Greeks * in 1921. She is a pretty little thing. An admiring woman corre spondent described her as “shy and demure,” with quick re course to her “modish little van ity case,” as she climbed from her plane after a hard day’s bombing. That was in the Der- ' aim area, in eastern Anatolia, in which she had been blasting the Kurds out of their caves. She is a first lieutenant in the Turkish army, the only woman air force officer in the world. Her French flying instructor says she is the most gifted woman acro batic pilot in the world. She was trained in flying and gliding in Russia and later was a cadet in the Turkish army air force school. She rides a single- seated military plane, handles all types of planes and is especially accurate and skillful in bombing. It is said no aviator in Turkey can match her in diving and stunt ing, hut she shrinks modestly from all such, possibly unfeminine, exhi bitionism, and sticks to her hum drum bombing tasks. Sabma Beat Stunt Flyer, Soya Mentor Belle Givea Up Society For Religion LT ERE is another diverting little news note, in sharp contrast, however, on the emergence of the modern woman. At her home in New York, Mrs. Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler presents prizes of $750 to the winners of the annual “Intel lectual Olympics,” conducted by her new history society. Happily the flying bomb put is not included in her decathlon. She has been for many years a diligent and earnest advo cate of peace and brotherhood, work ing through the international Ba haist movement, of which she has long been a leader. She derives from the Blue book and has turned from society to religious and hu manitarian concerns. Her husband, now retired, is a great-grandson of John Jacob Astor, and a former lieutenant governor of New York. He is a big, gray, silent man, walking a small white poodle dog, rarely seen at his wife’s salon, but a loyal partner in her endeavors. He is the brother of the late Bob and John Chanler. The flaming-haired Valeska Suratt was an instrument of fate in the life of Mrs. Chanler. They were jointly engaged in a Hollywood script enter prise when Miss Suratt introduced her to Mirza .Ahmed fiahfab, .de scendant of Mohammed and a dis ciple of the Abdul Baha. He was her tutor in the esoteric faith whose followers, like those of the Oxford movement, fervently believe the world can be saved only by a re ligious and cultural international ism. • • • T^OWN in Peru, this writer knew ^ some dilatory natives who fre quently used a word which meant, “not tomorrow, but day after to morrow and may be not then.”. From ancient parchments. Trin ity college dons lift the reverse expression—“nunc pro tung,” which means “now in stead of then.” With this high aca demic sanction, they are enabled to deal a bachelor’s degree to Richard Barthelmess, who failed to touch second when he was there 20 years ago. Baseball moguls could now say “nunc pro tung” and hand Fred Merkle that run he didn’t get in 1908. If the custom gets going, it might open the way for some European debt payments. Mr. Barthelmess is one of the thin ning line of the stars of the old silent screen who remain in the pub lic consciousness. His mother was Caroline Harris, an actress of the Biograph days. She gave Nazimova English lessons and in return Nazi mova gave her boy his professional start in “War Brides.” “Broken Blossoms,” with Dorothy Gish, wa* his last big success.

Yanks and Johnny Rebs CEVENTY-FIVE years after they ^ faced each other in deadly con flict, some 2,000 old soldiers gath ered in friendly concert to celebrate the great Battle of Gettysburg. The Stars and Stripes and the Stars and Bars flew side by side on the once bloody field, and the veterans of the Northern and Southern armies that fought there in one of history’s biggest battles wandered together over the hills and meadows or sat in their tented city, exchanging rem iniscences and renewing old friend ships. The war department had done ev erything possible to make the now feeble old warriors comfortable and safe, and the Pennsylvania National Guard and Boy Scouts attended carefully to their every want. There were feasts, parades, and military displays in plenty, but the veterans were not called on to do the enter taining. They were the entertained. In the Gettysburg National Mili- tery park, comprising the battle field, had been erected a beautiful peace memorial, and President Roosevelt was there to dedicate it on the afternoon of July 3. At the top of the monument’s shaft is a burner for natural gas that sup plies “The Flame of Eternal Peace.” This was kindled by the President as the climax of the day’s celebration. \ There were no re-enactments of battle scenes. The observance was all of peace, and peace and harmony of all the land breathed all through the talks made by Mr. Roosevelt and other speakers. From a common platform Com- mander-in-Chief Overton H. Mennet of the Grand Army of the Republic and Commander-in-Chief John M. Claypool of the United (Confederate Veterans spoke to their comrades. —* Politics jn Relief CHAIRMAN SHEPPARD of the ^ senate campaign funds commit tee put it up to the members of that body whether they should investi gate charges that the WPA had increased relief wages in Ken tucky and Okla homa to aid the can didacies of Senators Barkley and Thom as. ■ Works Progress Administrator Har ry L. Hopkins de nied that the WPA „ „ .. has been made a po- Harry Hopkins Utical instnunent in Kentucky. In a statement accompanied by exhaustive documentary evidence, Hopkins challenged 22 charges that his agency has subjected WPA workers to political pressure. He said the facts do not substantiate the charges, but reiterated his promises of summary and stringent action in all cases where political coercion could be proved. “Every charge in which a WPA worker or official was named has been thoroughly investigated and documentary evidence conclusively establishes that out of more than a score of cases in which political ac tivity was alleged, only two in stances of improper conduct could be found,” he said. Hopkins’ statement referred to a series of articles on the Kentucky senatorial primary fight between Al- ben W. Barkley, senate majority leader, and Gov. A. B. (“Happy”) Chandler. The articles enumerated specific instances where, it was as serted, political pressure was being exerted on relief workers in behalf of Barkley. M/ - - ■ 7t\ Real Drive on Depression \\Z ITH the start of the new fiscal year the administration began what the President calls “the real drive on depression.” In the com ing fiscal year relief agencies, army and navy, public works departments and federal lending corporations may pour out approximately $8,500,- 000,000. Some of this money is re turnable to the treasury. Administration officials said this huge sum—equal to more than $66 for every person in the nation—was needed because there are approxi mately 10,500,000 unemployed in the country. This estimate, furnished by a federal economist, was 4,500,- 000 higher than last October, when the recession’s effect became visi ble. Officials left little doubt they hope to get business positively on the up grade by Labor day, although econ omists estimated it would take a year from the upturn to recover the ground lost since last summer. Upholds Free Press PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT deliv- 1 ered two speeches in New York, on thfe site of the world’s fair that is being built. First he spoke at the laying of the cornerstone of the federal building at the exposition after dabbling in cement with a sil ver trowel. Then the Chief Executive ap peared before a convention of the National Education association, and declared that the mission of Amer ica is to carry the torch of free thought and free learning in a world in which dictators have smothered the fires of freedom. He did not mention Nazi Germany or Fascist Italy by name, but he condemned in most positive lan guage such purges as burned libra ries, exiled scientists, artists, musi cians, writers and teachers, dis persed universities and censored news, literature and art. “If in other 4ands the press is censored,” Mr. Roosevelt declared, “we must redouble our efforts here to keep it free. If in other lands the eternal truths of the past are threatened by intolerance, we must provide a safe place here for their perpetuation.” In his address to the teachers the President warmly defended the spending of his administration on the ground that the outlays of fed eral money had increased national and human resources. “The only real capital of a nation is its natural resources and its hu man beings,” he said. “So long as we take care ,of and make the most of both of them we shall survive as a strong nation, a successful na tion, and a progressive nation— whether or not the bookkeepers say other kinds of budgets are from time to time out of balance. “This capital structure—natural resources and human beings—has to be maintained at all times. The plant has to be kept up and new capital put in yearly to meet in creasing needs. If we skimp on that capital, if we exhaust our na tional resources and weaken the ca pacity of our human beings, then we shall go the way of all weak nations.” Strike at New York Fair \/f ORE than 6,000 workers were affected by a general strike of construction men at the New York world’s fair, called by the Building Trades and Construction council, an affiliate of the American Federa tion of Labor. All construction work was tied up except structural steel work. The strike was precipitated by a jurisdictional dispute. * Heads N. Y.

LUNDQUIST, D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicaco. ■ C Wester, jtew*pape r Union. r > Lesson for July 17 DEBORAH: EMERGENCY LEADERSHIP LESSON TEXT—Judges 4:1-9. 12-14. GOLDEN TEXT—Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?—Esther 4:14. PRIMARY TOPIC—Why Deborah Sang. 4 JUNIOR TOPIC—Why Deborah Sang. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Ready for Emergencies. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Leadership. ‘•Every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” Such is the divine summary of what was wrong in Israel during the period of the judges (Judges 21:25). “There was no king in Israel,” no competent and inspiring leadership. The people lived according to the whims of the day, and, as always, humanity left to itself drifted to lower and lower levels. This was true morally and spiritually and ultimately political ly, for they came * repeatedly into bondage to other nations and were only delivered as God raised up judges to lead them to repentance and victory, as well as to rule over them. I. A People in Disorder (vv. 1-3). Any people that forgets God and begins to live after the dictates of the flesh will at length come to the place where some strong man with “chariots of iron” will rule over them. We, in America, look at the other nations of the world, viewing their plight with sympathy but ever assuring ourselves that “it can’t happen here.” We ought to arouse ourselves and face the facts lest our own land, happy in its posses sion of God’s great blessings of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” abuse those privileges, neglect the worship of God, spurn the leadership He gives us, and be come “lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof” (II Tim. 3:4, 5). If we do not awake and repent the Lord may have to “sell” us, as He did Israel, into the hands of the oppressor. II. A Leader Called of God (w. 4-9). God always has His man ready for the hour of need—only in this case His man was a woman. Glori ous indeed is the record of faithful and capable womanhood in annals of God’s work on earth. Deborah was a woman of unique gifts—a poetess, a prophetess, and withal “the wife of Lapidoth,” evidently a woman who cared well for her own household. Brains and natural ability are much needed, especially in a time such as ours when few there are who even care to think for them selves and few who have any desire to develop native ability except for the purpose of “making money.” But true leadership calls for more than talent and intelligence; it calls for a burning in the soul, a divine zeal, the urge of God in the heart. Deborah had this fiery touch upon her life. Barak, while undoubtedly a man of ability, evidently did not have it. Many excuses have been offered for the weakness indicated in verse eight. It has been said that he was cautious, or that he wanted to give the place of honor to Deborah as the leader of her people. These suggestions may be true, but somehow one has the feel ing that what he really lacked was the “flaming heart.” May God give it to us, that ip our much doing of His work the divine fire may warm and inspire us! III. A Divine Victory (vv. 12-14). God gave Deborah and Barak a great victory, but note that it was God and not man who brought about the defeat of Jabin (Judges 4:15, 23). It was a complete victory and the enemies of Israel troubled them no more for many a day. Dr. Wilbur M. Smith aptly points out that we should look “upon these conflicts in the book of Judges as certainly symbols of the great con flict that every Christian knows as he wrestles, not with flesh and blood, but against principalities and pow ers, against the world-rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. Victory is certain only when the Lord is with us and only when we walk in His will and contend against evil in His power. We are more than con querors, but only through the Lord Jesus Christ” (Peloubet’s Select Notes). In closing this lesson the writer of these notes wishes to recognize the blessing of God in enabling him to complete two years of this serv ice to Him and to His people. He also wishes to thank those readers in every state of the Union and in a number of foreign countries who have written to him words of appre ciation, encouragement and counsel. Value of Meditation It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most on Divine truth, that will prove the choicest, wisest, strongest Christian.—Bishop Hall. Attaining Perfection The warm loves and fears, that swept over us as clouds, must lose their finite character and blend with God, to attain their own perfec tion.—Emerson. WHAT TO EAT and WHY ★ ★ 4fouiton (foutliil Kacounti The Miracle of Milk Noted Food Authority Explains Why It Is the Cheapest and Most Nearly Perfect Food By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS 6 East 39th Street, New York City. O F ALL the foods known and used by man, milk is su preme. It is a miracle of perfection—a veritable elixir of life. Milk has powers possessed by no other food. It builds sturdy bodies for infants; strong bones and sound teeth for growing children; helps to maintain vitality in adults; and to delay the onset of old age. ® It contains a greater assort ment of nutritive materials than any other single food. It is the foundation of every balanced diet. Considering the services it performs for mankind—from in fancy to old age—it is the cheap est food we have. Milk is so many-sided that I al ways think of it as the Benjamin Franklin of foods. It is a vast treas ure chest of nutri ents — the most complex product of nature’s chemistry. It contains nearly every chemical el ement of the body itself, in propor tions adapted for quick and easy as similation. Milk fulfills six essential requirements of a per fect diet. First: It supplies carbohydrate and fat for heat and energy. Second: It furnishes protein that is suitable for building new tissues and repairing the millions of cells that are worn out daily. Third: It yields minerals which build bones and teeth and regulate the subtle internal processes of the body. Fourth: It contains every known vitamin in\ some degree and is abundantly supplied with the vita mins ■ that are necessary to growth, to the smooth running of the body machine, and to the pre vention of many types of infec tion. Fifth: It contains water, to act as a solvent, a carrier and regu lator. Sixth: It is easily digestible. This brief summary helps to ex plain the unique place of milk in nutrition. Think of it! In one food, we find protein of the high est type; carbohydrate and fat; all the vitamins; every one of the minerals demanded by the human body; water; and an easy digesti bility that readily changes these ingredients into vigorous life. —★— The Biggest Food Bargain We occasionally hear the charge that milk is too high in price—that it is a luxury to afford enough of this master food to supply a quart daily for every child—at least a pint for each adult. That is ridic ulous! The cost of milk is much cheaper than the cost of illness. And milk is not a luxury, but an indispensable necessity. I contend that no homemaker can afford not to boy milk in ade- quate amounts—that if she desires health, efficiency and longevity for her family, she must provide a sufficient amount of milk be fore she purchases any other food. —★— A Food for Children and Adults Humankind needs milk as the flowers in the garden and the grains in the field need the bless ing of rain. Deprived of milk, children de velop a multitude of ills. They become thin and weak; their re sistance is low; they fall easy vic tims to the germs of disease; there is small hope of their reach ing normal manhood and woman hood. Nor is milk only a food for chil dren. It is likewise essential for adults who desire to live longer, happier, and healthier lives—to DO YOU KNOW HOW TO ‘' ” Diet? ^ This Free Chart Makes It Simple as A-B-C Helps to Safeguard Health Planning a balanced diet will cease to be a puzzle if you send for the Homemaker’s Chart for Check ing Nutritional Balance, offered, free, by C.

It is indeed a Fountain of Youth! —★— Milk for Pep and Power A quart of milk daily supplies from two-thirds to three-fourths of the total calories required by a year-old child. ( For a five-year old, it provides about half the day’s fuel requirements, and for a ten-year old, one-third. Even a moderately active man could ob tain one-fourth of his energy re quirements from a quart of this precious fluid. It is also interest ing to note that five-eighths cup of milk is equivalent in energy value to one and one-third eggs, or two and one-fourth ounces of lean beef. A quart of milk yields more than an ounce of pure protein of the highest quality. Moreover, nu trition authorities hold that under normal conditions, it is the most completely digested and absorbed of all food proteins. —★— Milk for Miner ala As a sdurce of calcium, milk is indispensable. Without milk, it is practically impossible for the body to obtain enough of this cap tain of the minerals N for normal skeletal development. It has been estimated that when the calcium requirement is met through the use of milk, the need for phosphorus will also be ade quately provided. Though milk is not as good a source of iron as of calcium and phosphorus, the iron is present and in a form that can be easily utilized by the body. —★— Milk for Vitamins Milk is so rich in vitamins A and G, that the addition* of a quart ’ of milk daily to a good mixed diet practically guarantees against a deficiency of either of these pre cious substances which promote growth, help build resistance to disease, prolong the prime of life, and help to ward off old age. It also furnishes a considerable amount of vitamin B, which pro motes appetite, aids digestion and helps to prevent a nervous dis order. Milk contains a relatively small amount of vitamin D, but this can be remedied in both bottled and evaporated milk by irradiation, or the addition of a vitamin D con centrate. It is less dependable.as a source of vitamin C than any other vitamin, as the amount it naturally contains varies with the diet of the cow and is reduced by pasteurization or evaporation. This deficiency is easily made good, however, \ by adding to the diet fresh fruits and fruit juices and raw leafy vegetables. —★— In Praise of Milk Producers As milk is man’s finest food, the men who are occupied with its production are engaged in the world’s most important pursuit. They labor to provide the nation with a pure, safe, clean supply of the food that makes life worth while for children and helps to prolong life for adults. Let no one say that milk is ex pensive. Rather let every home maker come to realize that this magnificent food would be CHEAP AT ANY PRICE! c WNU—C. Houston Goudiss—193S-1#
