The bondS^e df the Hebrews In
Egypt was Often echoed In their lat-
w history tn ttafe thjtmctions to deal
Mndly with strangers, servants, wi
dows and Otphani. 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
. Bible be followed.' difficulties between
[ sapltal and labor can be adhisted.
- The lesson aoses with the picture
’ ef the great Judgment, when the
f King shalTseparate men as a shep-
i herd divides his sheep from the
j goats. Those on the left are punlsh-
• od and those on .the right rewarded
i according to the manner In which
I fcey have dealt with the weak and
, friendless. *T was a, stranger." .lesus
: says unto those on the left, “and ye
took me not in.**
How do we deal with the weak
and the friendliness, and the men of
other races who dwell among us?

POSTNATAL EXERCISE NECESSARY

' 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

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. .

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.”

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!

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.
