THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S, C„ NOVEMBER 14, 1941 Bill Dickey 'T'HE deficiency in the average health of this country’s citizenry doesn’t apply to one William Mal colm Dickey of the New York Yankees and Little Rock, Ark. It was only a few weeks ago that Bill Dickey set a new all-time rec ord by catching more than 100 ball games for 13 con secutive seasons. This landed Arkan sas Bill in front of Gabby Hartnett and Ray Schalk, two other hardy and en during .people, who worked with big mitt and protector. There is a reason for Dickey’s hardi hood. Bill could hardly wait until the season was over to start on a fishing trip in and around Florida. His next plan of winter action consists of an al most continual quail hunt from opening day, December 1, to clos ing day in February. And this means every day. Quail hunting with Bill Dickey doesn’t come under the range of light exercise. Having been with Bill on several expeditions we can give you the order of the day— 1. Arise at 3:45 a. m., dress and handle your eggs, bacon and coffee. 2. Drive from 100 to 120 miles well off the beaten Arkansas track. 3. Be all set to start hunting at sunrise. 4. After the dogs from 7 a. m. until a gray, winter dusk falls on the Arkansas plains and you can’t see the trees. Bill Dickey is 6 feet 3, of which 73 per cent is leg length. His pace setter is a younger brother, Skeeter, who is 6 feet 4 with even longer legs. After a few days’ hunting with the Dickey brothers you are either in amazing physical condition or ready to be mearured for a winding sheet. This explains why Bill Dickey is still a great catcher after 17 sea sons and why he still will be a great catcher in 1942. He doesn’t have to get back in condition, as so many do, because he is never out of con dition. • • * Looking Back This seems to be the right mo ment to exonerate a bunch of Stan ford stars and clear up part of an old mystery. A short while after the Stanford-Alabama Rose Bowl game in 1935, when Dixie Howell had completed numerous passes to Don Hutson, including two for touch downs, I was talking to Keith Topping, one of Stanford's ends. “I still can’t understand what hap pened,” Topping said—and this was several years ago. “We knew the pass was coming from Howell to Hutson. As the ball was thrown Monk Moscrip and myself. Bones Hamilton and maybe Bobby Gray son would be covering him. At least, we thought we had him cov ered. Two or three of us would be only a foot or so away. One of us would go for the ball and try to in tercept it or knock it down. The others would watch Hutson. But suddenly Hutson would have the ball and be off and gone before we could even touch him. He was like a disappearing gho^t. His hands worked like lightning and his feet worked even faster. That’s some thing I could never understand— and probably never will.” Topping and his Stanford mates can cheer up now. The same wail has been coming up from the pro National league clubs for years. None of them has found a way yet to handle Hutson—to keep him from making the catch and getting away. In the first place, Hutson has run the hundred in 9.8. He was a good high jumper. He has a great pair of hands. But beyond even that he has the knack of faking and fool ing his opponents with a brand of body feinting and other forms of skulduggery that no defenders can quite match. An Oversight In discussing great second base- men a few days ago the names of Lajoie, Collins, Frisch and Horns by were set up in front. “What about Charlie Gehringer?” comes a squawk from Tigertown. This Tiger veteran certainly be longs in the head list of any second- base nominations. The entry from Fowlerviile, Mich., can look back on a brilliant big league record of 18 years. Time, the surest of all tacklers, has finally caught up with him but his record remains, both as a fine hitter and a star fielder. • • • Kellys Hard Job The main deficiency in our lack ef national condition is largely a matter of eyes, teeth, ears, stomach and legs. Outside of these few de tails we are a hardy race. No wonder Jack Kelly, the former champion oarsman, now heading a national conditioning board, almost shudders at the magnitude of his job. Getting millions of people, especially younger and middle-aged people, to tackle problems of diet and exercise, is a tough job. Rayon Fabric Patterns Show . New Emphasis on Originality ‘“——’IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By CHERIE NICHOLAS "^O LONGER are fine fabrics the exclusive property of the few people who can disregard cost. There’s luxury for everybody these days, because of the advancement of rayon as a textile fiber during the last few years. Rayon has made pos sible the reproduction of all the mag nificence of traditional quality cloths at prices well within the reach of modest budgets. To the evening wear field, where luxury has always been the keynote, are contributed gorgeous fabrics worked with all the lavishness and richness the feminine heart could ask. Exquisite, for evening, is crisp rayon taffeta in enchanting colors and new effects. Such novel taffeta finishes as gleaming satin stripes, metal stripes and striking plaid ef fects with metal stripes and unusual color designs are seen in stunning bouffant gowns like the model pic tured in the foreground of our illus tration. Beautifully adapted to the fluid molded lines of the current eve ning season, sleek rayon jersey brings its lovely draping quality to sophisticated dinner and evening in spirations. Jewel-toned rayon jersey falls in sleeky gleaming folds for the skirt and wide bishop sleeves of the glamorous dinner gown cen tered in this group. The vogue for street-length infor mal dinner gowns has inspired the long-torso style which combines a rich black rayon crepe skirt with a smartly contrasting shaded rayon, and metal striped bodice, as shown to the right. The long sleeves and low V-neck of the bodice are excel lent fashion points, as is the grace ful all-round pleated skirt. Indispensable in the dinner and evening wardrobe are the rayon crepe frocks. Lovely versatile types, such as matelasse pattern- ings, tree-bark effects and mossy finishes give pleasing variety. The exquisite grace of line expressed in the slender tiered frock to the left in the group interprets the beautiful draping qualities of mossy rayon crepe. In this instance the crepe is in a dusty rose, with the refined brilliance of cut steel at the draped neckline. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D.

GOLDEN TEXT—Abide in me. and 1 In you.—John 15:4. Our lesson presents deep spiritual truths concerning our union with Christ — mystical, but practical; precious, but too often forgotten or neglected. I. The Conditioiis of Union With Christ. There is a sense in which union with Christ is entirely uncondition al, one is either united with Him by faith or he is not. However, there are conditions for the fulfillment of all that such union carries with it. It is in that sense we use the word. 1. Cleansing (w. 1-3). Christ is the Vine, and the believer as a true branch is united with Him. There is a oneness here which is difficult to express but delightful to receive and believe. He who is the Vine needs no cleansing, but the branch needs constant, daily purification by “the Word” (v. 3). Are we per mitting God’s Word to keep us clean? Only if we are reading it, studying it, meditating upon it. There is moreover a severer type of purging to which the husband man subjects the vine that it may bear more richly, and that is prun ing (v. 2). It may not be pleasant, my brother, but it is profitable, and remember whose loving and sure hand it is that wields the pruning knife (v. 1). Some branches must be cut away altogether (v. 1) and burned (v. 6). They lack the evidence of life— fruitbearing — and must be de stroyed. These words are evidently rot written to dishearten true be lievers, but they are a solemn warn ing to those who bear a false pro fession of Christianity. 2. Abiding (w. 4-8). The branch bears the fruit of the vine. It has no strength or ability of its own to bring forth fruit. The Christian cannot serve Christ without abiding, and if he does abide the life of Christ will show forth in His living and serving. There can be no union without abiding in Christ. 3. Obedience (w. 9, 10). The hall-mark of character in a child is obedience. That is also true in God’s household. There is no use in talking sweetly and piously about abiding in God’s love unless we obey His commandments. The Christian who disobeys the teach ings of God’s Word regarding holy living and does not respond to the leading of the Holy Spirit shuts off the blessing of God in his own life and stops its flow out to others. Large Patch Pockets Extend the ‘New Look 9 Dresses and suits are very pocket conscious this fall. Four seems to be the magic number for pockets and sometimes six—four on the long-torso jacket, distributed in two breast pockets and two hip pockets, with the skirt sporting two pockets on its own account. Ingenious pocket arrangements are also expressed in connection with peplum flares. There are sep arate stole scarf affairs made to wear with practical daytime dresses that are finished off at each end with huge pockets. They have zip fasten ings, all very practical and usable. Tip to Toe—You’ll Be Wearing One Color The latest turn of fashion is to carry out the costume ensemble in one color from head to foot. Very handsome indeed is an outfit that created quite a sensation in the grandstand parade at one of the important games this fall. This stunning ensemble, done in the new gold tone so smartly m fashion, in cluded a fleece boxy topper, a per- ! fectly matched handknit two-piece j dress and a turban. Costumes all I in the widely heralded “black plum” are also outstanding in the autumn- winter collections. Brown and to paz colors are also very effective developed in single tones throughout. Bangle Bracelets Young girls are going in for a new hobby. It is the collection of bangles for their bracelets which are for the most part in silver. You can buy cunning little trinkets galore at the jewelry counters, and a most thriving business is going on in their sale. However, it makes it far more interesting to add the personal touch of dropping a hint to doting rela tives and friends that you would rather have a bangle to add to your collection than any other gift they could make to you. Ostrich Trim The much-beloved little pillbox hat is taking on new glory this sea son. Picturesque ostrich goes trail ing down one side over the hair in a glamorous “portrait of a lady” manner. The huge profile berets are also dramatMilly ostrich- adorned. Be Lovelier “Only the brave deserve the fair” —and “only the fair deserve the brave.” In these times when men are so occupied with defense, wom en and girls can maintain national morale only if they look their best. Just as soldiers, sailors and marines are required to keep their uniforms neat, to shave every day, to keep their nails in order, and to have good haircuts, so should women be especially careful of their clothes, their complexions, their hands and hair. The selection of stylish, be coming dresses and the use of cold cream, powder, lipstick and nail pol ish and attention to the hair are more important than ever before. Here is a lovely New York creation that carries out the trend of “dressi er dresses” and feminine elegance with its smooth, slenderizing pock ets and antique filigree gilt buttons H. The Results of Union With Christ. I. Purity of Life (v. 3). “Now ye are clean”—how refreshing our Lord’s words sound to us as we live in a wicked and filthy world. We sometimes wonder if there are any pure lives anymore. Yes, there are—those whom the Lord has cleansed by His Word. Would you like to be clean? Turn to Him and to His Word. 2. Prevailing Prayer (v. 7). At first one wonders why our Lord put in that word about prayer, but it is evident that one of the fruits of union and fellowship with Christ must be intelligent prayer accord ing to God’s will, in the power of the Spirit, and certain of an answer. Notice that the prayer promise here is absolutely unlimited, but that it follows an “if” which states a closely limited condition. Let us fulfill the condition and claim the promise. 3. Fruitbearing (w. 2, 4, 5, 8). The fruit a Christian bears is the fruit of Christ who is the Vine, but as the branch he does have the joy of bearing “fruit” (v. 2), “more fruit” (v. 2), and “much fruit” (vv. 5, 8). The Christian’s phraseology can be borrowed, the Christian's service imitated, but his fruit pro duced only by abiding in Christ. 4. Abiding in Love (v. 10). We have been talking about abiding all through our lesson and it may seem strange to list it as one of the results of union with Christ, yet it belongs here. Our Lord said (v. 10) that the cleansed and obedient disciple should abide in His love, even as He obeys the Father and abides in His love. What a picture that is. Christ, the One who knew no stain of sin (II Cor. 5:21), always perfectly obedient to the Father (Heb. 10:7), who knows complete and perfect fellowship with the Father, reaches out His loving arms and draws the believer into the circle of that blessed union and love. ‘Only Thee’ No one can ever become quite solitary, quite poor, quite miserable, who can truly say “Lord, if only I have Thee.” That is just the time when God makes his consolation most gratifying and abundant, when we through distress of body and soul have turned from all temporal things to Him, and have learned that royal, overshadowing “only thee.”— Theodore Christlieb. ried?” “Yes, I got tired of restaurant food.” “And now?” “I’m beginning to like it again.” That’s It Ed—They tell me at your office that you are only one of two clerks. And yet you told me you were a director. Clara—ff'ell, I am. I’m director of envelopes. v —And Failed? “I say, Jones, if I were you, I wouldn’t let your wife go round saying she’s made a man of you. You don’t hear my wife saying that.” “No,” Jones agreed, “but I’ve heard your wife telling my wife that She’d done her best.” A broad-minded man is one who is always open to conviction but who would like to meet the man who could convince him.
