ROCE^l kaWEB^ Jay in Creation. m Snbititntn l.esxon: Genesis 1:1-5, lil 12, taut, 2h-27. XI. '■■ ■ Memory Verm; Genesis /:.?/. Having this quarter studies in Genesis, we find that the title of today’s lesson is confirmed by the Memory Verse. It is not harder to determine the date indicated by the phrase, **In the beginning," than to com prehend the eternity behind us, when man was not. It is enough to know that we can trace' the quivering thread of human life back, not to an infinitesimal cell in primordial slime, but to the eternal God. (n Genesis we learn that God commanded the light, brought order out of chaos, gathered the waters, clothed the earth, creat ed life in the waters, in the air, .and on the land, and made man • In his own image and aft^r his likeness. See how wondrousiy logical the process was—earth prepared for plants, plants for animals, and both for man’s do minion and life. The order is sacrifice—through out creation and through the ages, one life given for an other, and another, and for man, and in the fullness of time God giving himself for man. And the Father saw that his gift in Christ was good, even as he had seen that his work in creation was good. But, alas! how sadly Thave men marred themselves in . sin and wrecked the Father’s eWorld. Still, in “the crowning , day that’s coming by and bv" . we look for a better world, while .each of us may, through the Sav iour, regain the pristine glory •' oi our common humanity as it • was “in the beginning."

Optimistic Boston Red Sox rooters now have visions of an American league pennant flying over the sedate city's Fenway park. If captured; it will be the first time in 28 years that the old Massachu setts town has had possession of the coveted flag. Main rea son for hope is the driving en ergy of Manager Joe Cronin, who put his club out in front early in the season. Of course, such players as Pesky, Williams and Dom DiMaggio | ,f Joe Cronin " help a bit. i And speaking of DiMaggio, when Dom and his brother Joe get together, they are careful not to discuss batting styles or pitching techniques. Since they are on rival clubs, such informa tion might decide a tight game, i Only thing they talk about is fielding, which they consider a harmless subject. , The light heavyweight title is safe on this side of the ocean . for a while. . . . Gus Lesnevich, American champion, defeated Freddy Mills, British title hold er, in a furious combat in Lon don. Both men were in trouble at various times. There are likely to be sev eral minor football leagues formed soon. . . . The Na tional Football league is working, out plans for three junior circuits, and the All- America conference is thinking of building at least one. There is plenty of ex cess grid talent around now, as “big league” clubs have a player limit of 33. Joe Wilman of Berwyn, 111., has won his third American Bowling Congress championship . . . he took his latest crown with an all-event score of 2,054 . . . his t)ther victories were in 1939 and 1942. He is the eighth man in ABC history to capture three tournament champion ships. A few hours after Ernie White, 29-year-old pitcher, was released outright by the Cardinals, he was snapped up by Boston. He said he had “received three or ; four other offers.” X * I 'HE dos and don’ts for suc- cessful canning are r’^r 1 *** and easy to follow. With the proper equipment and a garden in your back yard you can con trol the conditions that make for choice home-canned fruits and vegetables. First and foremost, remember that fruits and vegetables should be gathered at the peak of their maturity and canned almost immediately aft er gathering. To pick peas, beans and other vege tables in the heat | of the sun and let them stand until the next day before can ning is bad prac tice. Keeping vegetables too long wilts them and helps to de stroy their elusive vitamins. You’d better get up an hour ear- ! lier in the morning so you can take care of vegetables right aft er picking. There are two accepted ; methods for successful can ning—the pressure canner and the hot water bath. The hat water bath is suitable for all fruits and tomatoes be cause they are acid. The pressure canner is recom mended for vegetables be- 1 cause it provides such aid in preventing spoilage. Before you begin to can make sure that your equipment is in perfect condition. If the gauge on your pressure canner hasn’t been checked for some time, have it checked now so that it will be ready to use when you ’ need it. It may be necessary to send it back to the manufactur er. Follow directions meticulous- j ly. With pressure canners plen ty of water is needed in the bot tom of the cooker. The prewar type of canner requires at least two inches of water and the new canners need as much as three i or four quarts. When using a water bath canner, be sure that at all times the tops of the jars / j are covered with at least an inch of water—two inches is better. • Don’t try to take care of to* I ! much at one time. Yoursel/- ' i your kitchen and your canner , are not geared to take care of bushels of food at a time. 1 > Ed. Note: This newspaper has ar ranged ivith the W ashington Bureau of National Weekly Netvspaper Service, 1616 Eye St. N. W„ Washington 6, D. C., to answer questions pertaining to serv icemen and veterans. These questions will be answered in this column if ad dressed as above. No replies can be made by mail, but this paper will print answers to all questions received. Q. I was told by a friend that because I received a “yellow” discharge from the navy that my National Service life insurance would be invalidated. Is that true?—Worried Veteran, Den ver, Colo. A. No, that is not true. Na- ‘ tional Service insurance is for feited only when a man is found guilty of mutiny, treason, spying • or desertion, or when he, be cause of conscientious objec tions, refuses to perform serv ice or to wear the uniform. Q. My spn served on a ship called an LCVP. Can you tell me what kind of ship that is?— Mother, Paris, Texas. A. The letters LCVP stand for Landing Craft, Vehicle Person nel. This type of vessel was manned by naval personnel or men from the Engineer Special .» brigade. It has a capacity of about 36 combat troops or 8,100 [ pounds of cargo. Q. Will a man who re-enlists 1 in the regular navy still remain eligible for educational benefits provided in the G. I. Bill?—Sea man 3/c, Sacramento, Calif. A. Yes, the navy says if he re-enlists before October, 1946, all rights and benefits under the G. I. Bill will be extended for all those who re-enlist, enlist or transfer before that time. The extension will cover the full peri od uf the enlistment. Q. Can you tell me where the 351st Infantry is? 1 have not heard from my son for 11 weeks and I wondered if he had been moved. His address is Company A, 351st Infantry.—Mrs. R. R. S., Brookviile, Pa. A. The war department says the 351st Infantry regiment is at Tarviso, Italy. Q. Can you tell me what the Citation of Honor is and for what it is awarded? Does a medal go with the citation?—Mrs. D. H. C., Lilbonrn, Mo. A. The war department says the Citation of Honor is an award made by the commanding gen eral, army air forces, to com memorate the services of every soldier who gave his life for his country during the war. It is an expression of appreciatior for his devotion to duty and is pre sented to the next of kin. No decoration or medal accom panies the citation. Q. 1 am a veteran and I would like to know if I can borrow some money on my mother’s real estate to build a home?— H. J. H., Rich Square, N. C. A. You should be able to bor row on your mother’s real es tate if it is unencumbered and if she is willing, the same as any other civilian. However, if you are a veteran with a discharge other than dishonorable you are entitled to make application for a G.I. loan up to $4,000 to build - a home. Suggest you consult one : of your local bankers who make , this class of loans and he will advise you. Q. From the time a man en ters service up to what date do you figure points? How many points does he get for each month of service in the States and for each month overseas? Also one tchild.—A lonely wife, Greeley, Colo. A. Up to September 2, 1945. One point is given for each month of service, one for each month overseas, 5 for each battle star or decoration and 12 for each child. Q. How are points given in the army air corps? How many are needed to discharge a man who was drafted and has a wife and child?—D. A. L. E., Austin, Minn. A. Points in the army air corps are given the same as in the army. As of June 30, a man is eligible for discharge if he has 40 points as of September 2, 1945, or 24 months service by June 30, 1946. Q. My brother was killed in action in Germany. He carried National Service life insurance, which we have not collected as yet. Our mother was benefici ary. If she agreed, could this . life insurance be paid directly it* a lump sum to the home owner* • loan which holds a mortgage on our home? It would save us in interest.—L. H., Los Angeles, Calif. A. I do not believe there are any lump sum payments of Na- , tional Service life. Payments ar® made to the beneficiary only, in , monthly payments, according to , the age of the beneficiary.
