f ’wnn for December iO: Acts
hJ ib-^, 34-43.
Memory Selection: Romans J0:/2.
Christians miist deririonstrate the
n 1. to peace and strive for world
o' -Uierhood. They are the world’s
nupe for just and lasting peace. The
present lesson indicates some of the
ocstacles in the way.
Following the divine leading of
experiences recorded in the first
part of Acts 10. Cornelius sent for
Peter, arid Peter, taking with him
certain Jewish Christians as
friends - and witnesses, went to
Caesarea. The centurion had in
vited his kinsmen and near friends
for the occasion of Peter’s arrival.
When the apostle had come and
had been told the reason fOr his
being sent for, he preached a short
but effective sermon, beginning,
*’Of a truth I perceive that God is
no respecter of persons.” God was
mightily present and at the close
of the sermon the Holy Ghost fell
on those who heard. The converts
were baptized.
In going thus unto Gentiles Peter
parted with his Jewish exclusive
ness and his narrow notions of
Christianity. But 20 centuries have
not removed all the barriers be
tween classes and races. Present
conditions work against the mak
ing of a just and lasting peace.
Rich and poor, high and low, men
of divers races must meet in
.brotherhood if a right peace is real
ized Shall we ever have the “par
liament of man, the federation of
the world’’?
Lei the Christians of the world
give answer, hearing the voice of
God. saying, “What God hath
cleansed, call not common,” and
giving themselves freely to the task
of forming a world fellowship that
will include men of different classes
and racial strains at home and men
of heathen lands abroad.

NWNS Sports Writer
:' Most famous golfing family in the
U. S. used to be the Smiths, immi
grants from Carnoustie. Scotland.
• . . Alex won three U. S. Opens
. . . his brother* Macdonald was
considered one of the greatest styl
ists of all time, winning dozens of
matches. Another brother, Willie,
captured the open championship of
Mexico. Two other brothers were
also famous, if not quite up to Alex,
Mac, and Willie. All this was 30
years ago.
, Present leading family is the Ci-
uci clan .... there are eight broth
ers, all top golfers. A1 and Henry
are best known. A1 was Gene Sara-
zen’s assistant until lately . . . then
when Gene left as club pro at Fresh
Meadow, N. Y„ A1 took over in his
place. The other Ciucis are all
professionals too, being instructors
at various eastern clubs.
Not much was accomplished
at the Mg league baseball meet
ing in Chicago. It looked like
the White Sox would get Joe
Gordon from the Yankees, but
they would have to trade some
w players, as Larry MacPhail
needs manpower, more than
money. Somehow the Sox man-
! agement couldn’t part with any
one good enough, so the deal
fell through. The Phillies ob
tained two reliable infielders,
Frank McCormick and Skeeter
Newsome, for around $50,000 ...
considered a smart purchase,
j The Tigers bid for George
i Sternwciss, but couldn’t get
him. The Yankees are holding
i on to their stars.
' Southern California’s Trojans
boast a giant line . . . Jay Perrin,
left tackle, is 6 feet, 6 inches,
weighs 320 pounds . . . John Pehar,
left tackle, stands 6 feet, 7 inches,
tips the beam at 292 .. . and
the rest of the boys are not much
smaller. They depend on hard
charging and blocking for victory.
Byron Nelson topped the sports
world in income in 1945 with some
thing around $60,000, all tournament
prize money. This won’t happen in
1946. ... Joe Louis and Billy Conn
should clean up a hundred thou
sand or more apiece with their
big fight, and Hank Greenberg,
whose salary last year was on an
annual basis of $55,000, should be in
the top’half dozen. ■
The author of “Football: Facts
and Figures,” Dr. L. H. Baker, a
Yale professor, hasn’t seen a game
since 1926 ... he never played
football, either. The book is the
result of massive research.
Most baseball bats are made of
ash from New York or Pennsyl
vania . . . the wood must be sea
soned for two years. Big league
bats weigh 35 to 40 ounces. Babe
Ruth’s, perhaps the heaviest on
record, were 56-ounce clubs.

STILL RATIONED!!
Sugar Stamp No. 33, now vaTd,
expires December 31.
THE VICTORY OVER POT ATION
IS STILL TO T3E WON!
Sugar Shortage—
Immediate validation of the next
"ugar $tamn in time for holiday
meals would probably result in a
severe shortage later. E. H. Tal
bert, OPA District Director, said
today.
Replying to stories of ware
houses reputedlv “bulging with
sugar”, Mr. Talbert said that a
survey of December 1 showed that
present sugar supplies in the
Southeast, rather than being
Plentiful, are in fact 16 per cent,
less than at. the same time last
ydar. Additional receipts for the
next two months are expected to
be considerably below those for
the corresoonding period a year
ago. h^ edded, which indicates the
cr^oal shortage will continue.
“The* turn of the year will find
only 300.000 'tons of sugar avail-
i able from Cuba and Puerto Rico
; in ‘carry-over’ stocks from the
i preceding crop.” Mr. Talbert ex-
! plained. This, he said, is a 70 per
cent drop from the 1,000,000 tons
available last January 1, and the
Department of Agriculture, which
I allocates sugar to OPA for civilian
rationing has not indicated any
expected increase in the near fu-
i turc.
I Mr. Talbert stressed that , the
validation of the neT sugar stamp
at any time prior to January 1
would be “deliberately inviting a
disastrous shortage later on.”
R^m Renting Without “Red

F. H. T v » 1 h*»rt OPA Direc
tor- m Columbia, said todav.
They rtc°d only to remember
these ABC's:
A. OPA eviction restrictions
do not ap-^v to a furnished room
or rooms that do ^ot constitute
an nnartment in *he landlord’s
residence provided bo does not
rent rooms to mor<> than two oC-
cuoants or more than one tamily.
B. The rental ra*e agreed upon
by the landlord and tenant wilt
be approved by OPA if it is not
excessive.
C. The room and rooms are
to be registered by the landlord
with the Area Rent Office Within
30 days to assure * fair treatment
for both and the *tenarrt
under the provisions of the Rent
Regulation.
CPrtts Products Free Firm Con-
trdl— ' ~ .
Beginning this vreck. processed
citrus products will suspended
from pric* o-rntmi f~r on indefi
nite period. E. H. Talbert, OPA
District Director said today.
This action was taken, since
the kburrdant supply of citrus
fruits available from this year’s
crop will enable processors to put
un the largest 'pack ’'of'processed
fcit.ruS in history. Mr. Talbert ex
plained. Compulsory government
set asides have been discontinued
and government reouirements
from this year’s marketing repre
sent only a small percentage of
the amount taken in recent
years.
OPA therefore does not expect
the average prices of processed
cirrus to ip crease, he pointed out,
although the conditions surround
ing the marketing of perishable
fr°sh citrus did increase after
price suspension. Mr. Talbert
added that conditions surround
ing the marketing of processed
citrus p’-e not affected by weather,
seasonal demand and transporta
tion shortages.
Mr. Talbert said that p. close
ch°ck will be kept on the level of
nrices which result, from this ac
tion and that pr^ce control on
these items mav be reinstated if
prices rise above the level of ceil
ings.
“Token” Round-Up-Laist OalJ—
Announcing the extension of the
period for the return of red tokens
until January 5, E. H. TpRrrt,
OPA District Director, urged re
tailers, wholesaler, and primarv
distributors to turn in promptly
all the red tokens in their posses
sion.
“The return of tokens since the
m°ats-fats rationing oroe r am
ended November 24. hoe. p^en
slow.” Mr. Talbeft said. “We are
extending the time limit, origi
nally set for December 12. to give
all members of tho 'trade ample
time to comply with the require
ment. Because consumers hold
onlv a few tokens, thev are re-
qpi’-ed to return them.”
Tokens need not be counted
and may be placed in regular
token boxes, envelopes, or any
type container for return to the
ration bank, he added. Their
surrender is necessary before OPA
and-the trade can wind up all
matters pertaining to the termi
nated program.
