In such (njunc- ttous the peopto were often remind- . .«d that their fathers had been strangers In the land of bondage. Foreigners in most countries were Badly treated, and this Hebrews were especially eoptmanded to deal kind er with such.' irins were few and strangers often had to find a place hi the homes of the people. Thus r hospitality was developed and came to be regarded as a great virtue. Kindness shown strangers was also ^ •» be shown servants. No servant v should be oppressed and his wages ! should be paid promptly. The prob- ; Bm of labor Is Sf- vexed one at the i present, but it Is safe to assume j *iat if the* principles found in the .

K., for ' postnatal months need supervision r as well as the prenatal period. He ’ will give you specific exercises and will tell you when it is time to begin them. Six weeks after the baby • comes is as early as you can expect 1 the go-ahead signal, with plenty of j warning to start gradually. « So another six weeks go by and ! you’re apt to be disappointed be- v cause your measurements still aren’t pre - baby. There are two reasons for this: it simply takes longer than three months for the figure to re cover from the sag developed during pregnancy. A con tributing second 1 reason Is that you probably haven’t > done your exercises regularly. A few * taken every day accomplish more ’ than spurts of elaborate exercising. ' You should do them as faithfully as ‘ an actress would if she were given *• the role of a lithe young girt and ? had to do some streamlining to look 1 the part. You’re playing a new role yourself, and here’s your chance to L prove that as a young mother you are prettier and more attractive than you ever were. * 1. . Now It Is a natural failing to exercises until you alee, free space ef time, rarely arrives. la the ist hurry to tend i baby, and get your husband to work. In the evenings you » Just too tired. So plan to he use of spare minutes throughout the day. For ex ample, the usual plan of time budfeters is for tlie housewife to dash upstairs and make a bed while the washing machine runs. But why not do some exercises on the spot instead? (You’d bet ter keep an old automobile robe handy to lie on.) Here’s one of th* classic post-natal exercises which would fit into this spot in your day. Lie flat on your back with arms stretched above your head, knees bent enough for feet to be flat on the floor. Bring the arms slowly forward until fing ers touch the knees. You may not make it the first time but re peat a few times daily until you do. Then graduate to a more difficult version of this tummy flattener—that is. He straight with legs stretched out instead of bent at the knees. Now rise slowly to a sitting position, and touch the toes this time. In the kitchen, while ybu wait for water to heat, get down on your knees, forehead resting on the floor —put your arms under it for com fort. Then draw your abdomen in, pressing the small of the back up to straighten the spine. This exer cise is known as the knee-chest po sition and has never been surplanted \ the most logical way, short of standing on your head, of forcing drooping organs to assume their normal position. But the very best exercise is to walk correctly and to do this you must think about it—not every sec- mid, of course, but enough to make sure that the muscles of the abdo men are pulled in and up, the end of your spine tucked under, and your chest held high. -HOW TO WmnUCNDS Author of MRUBKE PEOnff* TV TRS. GLADYS MECHLING works in the small motor di- k vision of the Westinghouse company, Lima, Ohio. When her son became a navy flier, she decided to get a job for herself, and that is what she did. The job that came into her hand to do was to bend a thin strip of copper for the armature of a generator cut-out. This, when completed, went into a war plane to guard its electrical system. The bending of the strip of copper was slow work; it was ac complished by taking hold of the strip of cop per by hand and bending it around a rod fixed on the workbench. ^ One day Mrs. Mechling asked a super- £$1 l v visor if there wasn’t some quicker and easier way to do this. He said, “Oh no! It has always been done that way.” D. Carnegie When she did not seem convinced, he said, “Hundreds of people have worked at this job. If the job could be done in a better way, some of them < would have thought of it” ,, ; ,7 ^ Mrs. Mechling decided to try, anyway. So she “put a handle on a bobby pin.” That is the way the others in the fac tory expressed it. She took two small metal prongs, shaped like the ends of a bobby pin, and fastened them in a screwdriver handle. Then with a single twist of the wrist, the sheet of copper could be bent into the correct shape. By the use of this simple device, she could do in three and one-half hours the work that formerly had taken five hours. . ^^111^ The company was so impressed by the effective- ( ness of this simple device that the company gave her / a cash award of $111, and a $25 war bond. The important thing here is that Mrs. Mechling. a housewife, worked out something that none of the learned engineers around the plant had thought of. Charles R. Riker of this plant made a significant statement. He is. the coordinator of suggestions for the company, and has examined 17,000 ideas. Of this number he says that 5,380 were accepted and put to work. He says: “In going over these ideas and in studying them, I am more and more impressed with this truth: good ideas are just common sense.” -HA 1 $ m) r KAIN UDGET 1. —How deep is the ocean?

To thoso who oagorly await their new Chevrolets ‘ Here Is the Lctest News t * about Chevrolet / Deliveries Everybody from factory to dealer is doing everything ' that can be done to speed deliveries to you « We have been informed by the Chevrolet Motor Division that tho past month has witnessed only a slight improvement in the rate Of production off now Chevrolet passenger cars. As a result, shipments of now cars to dealers for delivery are still far below tho level wo and tho factory had hoped to attain by this time. In fact, through August, Chevrolet’s output of cars In 1946 was only 22.6% of the number turned out during tho corresponding period of 1941. Wo know that Chevrolet is doing mvmrything possible to step up its production totals—to ship more and more cars to us and to its thousands of other dealers throughout America ... and wo know, too, that wo are assured of getting ojur full proportionate share - of tho current output and of future production gains. Disappointing as tho total figures have boon—and despite the fact that Chevrolet was out of production entirely during the first three months of the year—it is nevertheless true that Chmvrolot led off other mmufocturon in production of patsengor cars during Juno 1946, and has continued to main- toin its lead in total production from that day to this. % Wo shall continue .o make deliveries of now Chevrolets to our customers just as fast as wo receive them; wo regret delays as deeply as you do; wo thank you for your friondfy pationco and undorstandingj end wo promise you q now high motoring experience when you take delivery of your now Chevrolet, giving BIG-CAR QUALITY AT LOWEST COST! * Keep Your Present Car Meanwhile, may we suggest that you safeguard your transportation by bringing your car to us for service now and at regular intervals. Let us help you to keep it in good running condition—to main tain its performance, appear ance and resale value—until the day when your new Chev rolet comes along. YOUR SYMBOL OF SERVICE McGrath motor company, inc. McCORMICK, S. C HEAT ^ WOOD Buy an //i Billy Conn Bv ELLIOTT PINE NWNS Sports Writf-r Bigger attendance at boxing matches might make a more peace ful world, thinks Dr. Gregory Zil- Hl boorg, a New York psychiatrist H e explains that pu gilism is a sort of vicarious substi tute for war. "I suggest," he says, “that if more men would attend prize fights and be able to identify themselves with the aggressors in the ring, they would get relief from their own aggressiveness — and the practice would do more toward keep ing peace in the world than any matter of what country is sending what ultimatum to whom.’’ And speaking of sport and peace, the Russians have pro tested that the United States Army’s sports program for Ger man children in the U. S. zone is a violation of the Allies’ reg ulation against regimented sports that might be regarded as quasi military training. The games taught are basketball, football, baseball and so on. all of which have made a big hit with the young Germans. The protest has been rejected by Col. Frank Howley, deputy commandant. U. of Pennsylvania’s football squad has stolen a march on its rivals. Coach George Monger let a secret out of his bag of tricks recently. “We sent each boy a new pair of football shoes during the summer, with in structions to break them in gradual ly. Now their feet are in shape. A big thing.” Penn’s starting line aver ages 213 pounds, so Coach Monger has tc think up ways to get them to move more easily. Billy Conn plans to go to South America for a series of fights with Arturo Godoy, Alberto Lowell and Abel Cestac, according to a Rio de Janiero newspaper. Godoy met de feat in the United States some years ago. Athletes make the best combat flyers, report two Navy Psycholo gists. Combat ratings of 1,508 naval aviators were compared with evalu ations of the same men on their physical-training records during pre flight days. - SboUMtdbG^t WOOD BURNER ★ ENJOY 24-HOUR CONTROLLED HEAT, ★ BUILD BUT ONE FIRE A SEASON— No Fires to Build On Cold Mornings ★ REMOVE ASHES ON AVERAGE OF ONLY 3 TIMES MONTHLY Insist on the Downdraft ASHLEY—it's PATENTED.
