Memory Selection: Hebrews 13:6.
Nations, like men, can commit
suicide. By tyranny and wicked
ness in high places and the re
flected corruption among the
passes, nations can write their
(own doom. There is a sad ex
ample of this in Israel’s history
after the death of Joshua and
tte passing of * a generation.
Apostasy brought disaster to the
nation.
Of the beginning of Hebrew op-
pression in Egypt we read “there
arose up a new'king over Egypt,
which knew not Joseph." Of the
worst period in Canaan we read
“There arose another generation
after them, that knew not Je-
Bmrah." In many respects we
ane verging perilously upon such
• condition in our own land, and
we should fear the consequences.
Because of their forgetfulness
ef Jehovah and their following
after other gods the Israelites
eften fell into such weakness and
degradation that surrounding na-
ttcaos laid tribute upon them. The
ifesson gives the broad outlines of
jBiis period "when the judges
aided." Time and again the Is
raelites, with mournful repeti
tion, “did evil in the sight of the
jLocd," and Jehovah allowed
Elem to fall under the oppression
of their enemies. Then the Lord
would raise up a deliverer, such
as Gideon, to give the people.
This turbulent period “when
fee fudges ruled" came in conse-
•nence of Israel’s failure to drive
•wi all of the heathen inhabitants
the country—these proved a
scare Jo God'.v *<or*Ic. So may

: Let U* Keep Our Shirts
Are we losing mil our sense of
proportion—or just 99% of it?
How do we expect to contribute
to the success of the United Na
tions organization if we make ^
ourselves the laughing stock of
the whole world? We must have
the respect of the world to be in
fluential in the management of
its affairs; and we certainly
don’t gain that by giving in to
every demand which is made
upon us.
By secret agreement at
Yalta, Russia was given the
southern half of Sakhalin
and the Kurile:*. Why
doesn’t some “meanle" who
hates Stalin, suggest that
these be submitted to a trus
teeship. He might laugh him
self to death!
The only nations which are
turning over anything to trustees
are the defeated nations. We
were not defeated in the war—
but we are now being defeated
by a jellyfish foreign policy.
The UNO is a magnifi
cent idea. It is not a new one «
but maybe this time it will be
successful. When it is—then
is the time to turn over our
defenses to a trustee. But in
the uame of reason—let us in
the meantime make our
selves so strong that our
voice too will be hearkened to
| —as Russia’s is.
There is a theory that if we
give in to all the demands made
upon us, it will set an example tc
the other members of the UNO
and get that body off to propiti*
ous start. There could be nr,
greater fallacy—weakness has
always spelled disaster.
Even a broody hen loses her
I melancholy if you give her better
living quarters.
I am now located in the
building recently vacated by
T. M. McKinney in the forks
of the McCormick-Abbeville-
Greenwo^d highway, and am
prepared to take care of your
requirements in Fresh Meats
of all Kinds, Fish and Oysters,

Edith
Houghton
By ELLIOTT PINE
NWNS Sporta Writer.
First woman to enter big league
baseball is Miss Edith Houghton,
who will be a scout for the Phila
delphia Philhes. She is an ex-
WAVE, and has been playing
baseball with gills’ teams since
she was eight
years old. The
largest sta
dium in which
hockey is
played is the
Chicago Sta
dium, which
seats 16,546.
Next comes the one in St. Louis,
Mo., with a capacity of 13,384.
Both arenas are often packed
during the season.
Three national amateur cham
pionship contests are being run
off this March . . . Men’s Basket
ball tourney at Denver, the 17th
to the 23d; Women’s Basketball
at St. Joseph, 24 to 30, and Wom
en’s Indoor Track at Cleveland,
29 and 30. Detroit is considered
the most bowling-conscious city
in the U. S. by the American
Bowling Congress . . . there are
18,000 officially sanctioned teams
, . . that is one five-man team for
every 112 citizens.
Big League baseball is now
entering its seventh cycle, ac
cording to Dan Daniel, New
York World-Telegram baseball
expert. Here’s how he figures
it: The first cycle began in
1839, with the laying out of the
diamond as we know it today.
That period ended in 1861, with
the outbreak of war. During
the Civil war the game re
ceived tremendous impetus,
and entered the second cycle.
This closed in 1875. The third
started in 1876, with the organi
zation of the National league.
The fourth got under way in
1890, with the “Brotherhood
war,’’ and the fifth began in 1901,
when the American league en
tered the scene. The sixth start
ed right after the First World
war, and lasted until 1941 —
Pearl Harbor. Now comes the
seventh, the cycle of tremendous
boom. It will bring hitherto un
heard-of attendance figures, big
ger stadia, higher than ever
standards of play, spectacular
new stars, and a record growth
of interest among juveniles and
women.

Opportunities And
Benefits Offered In
Marine Corps
Columbia, March 4. — “Oppor
tunities and benefits never before
available are now being offered to
Marine veterans who are consid
ering the Marine Corps as a ca
reer,” it has been announced by
Captain Robert M. Richards, Of
ficer in Charge, U. S. Marine
Corps Distrirt Headquarters Re
cruiting Station in Columbia.
With an anticipated peacetime
strength of 100,000 enlisted men
for the Cfcrps, inducements and
incentives are being offered Ma
rines who “ship over” as well as
Marines who have already left the
service, and desire to reenlist.
Discharged Marines with prior
active service (Regular, Reserve or
Inductee) who reenlist in the Reg
ular Marine Corps within 90 days
from date of discharge will be re
appointed to the same rank.
If a Marine is discharged and
reenlists immediately he will re
ceive the $200 or $300 mustering
out pay. He will also receive a
bonus of $50.00 for each complete
year served in the “Regular Marine
Corps.”
Captain Richards pointed out
that former Marines who re enlist
within a period of 90 days will be
granted a re-enlistment furlough,
with pay. The length of furlong’
depends on the length of the
listment.
Service in the Marine Corps to
day offers limitless opportunities
for the ambitious young man who
really wants to have a steady job,
an opportunity to advance his
knowledge, and a chance to im
prove his technical skill.
Advanced training in many
skills is open to Marines in the
several schools maintained in the
Marine Corps such as: Motor
Transport, Clerical course, Avia
tion Technicians, Radio Techni
cian, Radar Technician, Engineer
ing, Telephone Technician, etc.
Scores of jobs are open in Marine
Corps Aviation in addition to ac
tual pilot training. A man can
become expert as an aviation
mechanic, metalsmith, aerial
photographer. Navigator, etc.
After serving 30 years in the
Marine Corps (as a matter of fact,
any former Army and Navy service
can be included) a man may re
tire upon application, with 75 per
cent of his base pay. After serv
ing 20 years, he may receive 50
per cent of his base pay.
Captain Richards states that the
demobilization of the Marine
Corps is ahead of schedule and re
placements are urgently needed.
Anyone desiring information
should write Marine Recruiting
Station 1510 Gervais Street, Co
lumbia, or Marine Recruiting Sta
tion, Post Office Building, Green
