The Hebrews of Judea were a proud people who despised the gen tiles and had “no dealings with the Samaritans/* Thus Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan when she Jewish lawyer asked, “Who is my neighbor?” The story rebukes a narrow racial pride; its chief teaching is that one’s neighbor is, the man in need, whoever and] wherever he may be. Peter was at first so narrow ini his notions of the gospel that he required the vision of the unclean beasts to prepare him for the com-, tag of the gentile, Cornelius. Then, in the coming of the first gentile con vert, Peter declared, “Of a truth I; perceive that God is no respecter of persons.** The case was reversed when Paul appeared on Mars’ Hill. Not the messenger but the people who. heard the message needed to be prepared. The Greeks, the most cul-j tured people of antiquity, whose in-* fiuence is still felt in the world’s, art and thought, regarded all others as barbarians. Paul faced a great task in persuading them they* needed anything from a lone preacher of the gospeL He struck straight at the national pride by telling them that God has “made of one blood all nations of men.”' And he closed by declaring that God commands all men everywherej to repent. To look well to themselves is the, first great need of men. As men get right with God, they should get right in their attitude toward others. Sharing in the love of Christ, they ! will be led to share with others j [Only in the spread of true religion! lean we find a solution of race probH flems and a sense of responsibility Jhat will be all-inclusive. ‘ Catcher Nick Buonarigojof Holly- * wood, Calif., recently hit’ten con- ! secutive fouls before grounding out. | Earl Crum, at 240 pounds, is the i heaviest player on Northwestern U. i football team, and one of the hefti est in the country. . . .

Dollar-and-cent ceiling prices on retail sales of fountain pens and mechanical pencils have been es tablished by the Office of Price Administration.

The Office of Price Administra tion has strengthened the record keeping provision of the legtume and grass seed regulation to pro vide for more effective enforce-, ment in combating growing black market among buyers and sellers of these seeds. OPA said present b’ack market renditions consisted largely of “intentional error” in determining “dockage” in lots of seeds bid on and purchased; and of “country dealers” claiming mark-ups estab lished for “commercial process ors.” The new action requires ac curate and complete records of bids and purchases, including rep resentative samples of such seeds to be kept by all bidders, sellers, and purchasers, OPA said. Present point values on all meats and dairy products, includ ing butter, remain unchanged for November, the District Office of /Price Administration announced. Present point, values in, most processed foods also remain un changed, OPA said. Points re quired for purchases of canned ap plesauce, however, have been re duced; and slight changes in point value requirements for packaged spaghetti and macaroni dinners have been made. Retailers will continue to display present point value charts with the authorized changes written in, OPA said. * Automobile rationing regula tions have been amended to re quire all dealers to post lists of their current inventory of 1942 cars for sale or the post notice to the effect if they have none. In announcing the regulation, effective November 4, OPA said dealers who refuse to sell a car to a prospective buyer who has the cash and necessary papers may be barred from dealing in any ra tioned cars. . OPA said the action was neces sary to see that the remaining meagre supplies of new cars in the nation be used to the greatest possible advancement of the total NOTICE OF TAX SALE Under and by virtue of a war rant issued to me by the Coun ty Treasurer of McCormick Coun ty, I have seized the following de scribed property to satisfy the taxes due the State of South Car olina and the County of McCor mick, and the same will be sold to the highest bidder for cash on salesday, Monday, November 6, 1944, during the legal hours of sale in front of the Court House Door at McCormick, South Caro lina, and the proceeds of the sale will be applied to the payment of the said taxes and the cost of said seizure and sale, to wit: The property of H.
