THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE FIVE FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1942 SWEET PEACE, THE GIFT OF GOD'S LOVE By Paul Stewart Pastor First Baptist Church Pelzer, S. C. ‘‘Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth. give I unto you.” John 14:27. Christ remembered you in His will. Sometimes lawyers break wills, no lawyer can break, no judge f or jury can set aside Christ’s will. The peace that Christ gives is not to be associated with quiet motion- . less inactivity like a body of still wa ter; it is rather superlative motion in its appointed place. Neither is this gift to be compared to what the ] world gives. The world does give a sort of peace which comes from self- j assurance, indifference and unbelief, which is not satisfying or lasting. leaves you when you need it most. The kind of peace that God gives is the peace that comes through right relationship to Him. Without this proper relationship peace is lacking We are reconciled to God through Christ. There is no peace for the wicked. There are certain birds seen in Constantinople which are said to be always on the wing. No one ever ^ ^ ^ saw them rest, but they are forever j g rea tei' than the terrors of death.” poised in mid-air. The natives call All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer.” T.;is peace gives harmony in our powers, heart, mind, and conscience. ‘ Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Prov. 4:25. “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee.” Isa. 26:3. Conscience was at work when Lady McBeth sought in vain to wash blood from her stained hands. The one who has this peace will have the right feeling and considera tion for others. He is willing to fit in with courtesy and grace. He is also willing to rectify wrongs. A friend tells of a man who had wronged others. After his conversion he went to those whom he had wronged and obtained their forgiveness. Unbound- I ed joy came to his soul. | This peace is sufficient. “And the | peace of God that passeth all under- I standing shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Phil. 4:7. It is sufficient in every exper- , ienee of life, and in death. Sir Wal- | ter Scott went to his rest without a ; tremor, soothed and sustained.

How like men wh& have no hope to rest upon. Paul gives us ihis infallible receipt of peace. “Be careful for nothing; but'in everything by prayer and sup plication, with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God that passeth under standing shall guard your hearts and thoughts in Christ Jesus.” Phil. 4:6, 7. “O what peace we ofter forfeit, O what needless pains we bear, PRINT 1000 ENVELOPES Like Last Time.

The historians of the future will write in full detail the long and in volved story of this government’s ef fort to keep the VicVy Government from effecting complete “collabora tion” with Hitler. At present time, it is sufficient to say that we did all we could, and that we failed through no fault of our own. There were many good reasons why those efforts should have been made, even when it appeared almost certain that there was no hope of success. First, the American people have regarded France as a traditionaly ally. She has been on our side ever since the Revolution, and has aided us in con troversies with powers which are among our Allies in the present war. Second, few nations have done as much as France to advance the cause of parliamentary government—the French Revolution paved the way for many other revolts against tyranny. Third, France is still the possessor of a sizable naval force 1 —a fact which is of the utmost practical importance at this time. But that is all water over the clam now. France is, to all intents and purposes, a Hitler ally. Before this was is over, we may formally regard her as an enqmy. It is very likely that in the near future we will ex tend full diplomatic .recognition to DeGaullo’s Free French Government. The fact that Ambassador Leahy has been recalled from Vichy, and an American consular official has been sent to the Free French capital in Africa, shows definitely the way the wind blows. The American people should hold no optimism as to the purposes which “Black Peter” Laval has in mind. Long before the war he was known a 5 the least scrupulous of politicians in a country where corruption was the rule, not the exception, in govern mental circles. Laval has made vp his mind that his own future is 100 per cent dependent upon a Hitler victory. He has said publicly that if the United Nations triumph, he will be escorted without ceremony to the gallows. He will do everything he can to help the Axis—and few believe that he will worry overmuch if the Germans continue to slaughter help less French hostages. The Frenchmen the Germans assassinate are those who would most actively fight Laval, if they were free, and so it is likely that he is glad to see them put out of the way. Just what has Hitler gained by forcing into office French govern ment which has abandoned almost all pretense of independence, and which is an avowed and enthusiastic sup porter of the “New Order” in Eu rope ? In answering this, the French fleet comes first to mind. If the Germans can obtain control of that fleet, the naval balance of the world will be dangerously changed. Some believe that Admiral Darlan may hesitate to give Hitler everything he wants— anti-British as he is, he also knows that his own position depends upon keeping at least nominal command of the French navy. It puts him in an excellent bargaining position. Still, in the long run, the best bet is that Hitler will get the fleet if- he wants it badly enough. France possesses numerous colo nies which would be of utmost service to the Axis. American troops are now in New Caledonia, which lies across the American-Australian sup ply line and must be kept out of Ger man hands at all costs. Madagascar and Dakar are equally vital. It would surprise few experts if there are ac tual military engagements between Vichy fores and United Nations forces over these key points. French industry and agriculture will now serve the Reich on an all- out bases. That means that French men will continue* to starve and go without in the interest of feeding and supplying Hiler. Britain’s sus tained air raids over French indus trial areas, however, may substantial- her ly lessen France’s usefulness to conqueror. There is one very important fact to he listed on the debit side, so far as Hitler and Laval are concerned. According to practically all authori ties, close to ninety per cent of Frenchmen hate Germany and Vichy with equal passion. The underground anti-axis movement in France is strong and well-directed, and it grows stronger. Sabotage increases and becomes steadily more effective. Thousands upon thousands of French men are members of suicide organiza tions which will take any risk in or der to strike a blow at the Germans and the Laval group of collabora tionists. That, in the long pull, will serve the cause of the United Na tions well. And it will also serve the great cause of eventual freedom for the oppressed Masses of the French people. Today, we must not think of France entirely in terms of her puppet government. We must think of France in terms of the men and women who are doing what they can to fight the*Axis under the most dangerous, the most difficult and the most discouraging conditions. Reports indicate that in recent air raids on outlying Australian posi tions, Japan has lost close to 40 per cent of the aircraft employed. \ That shows two things. 'First, American supplies in real volume have reached “down nneer” and have been put to work. Second, MafcAr- thur has done a superb job in organ izing his defenses in a very short time. Tremendous strides are being taken in readying Australia as the take-off point in a gigantic Pacific counter-offensive. Mr. and Mrs. Bart Doolittle and twin daughters, Polly and Molly, of Strother, were business visitors in Newberrv last Saturday. LONG REUNION The children and grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. J.

MARY BAKER WINS STATE TENNIS CAMPIONSHIP Mary Baker, Newberry High school junior, came through a hotly contest ed tennis match to win the State championship for girls on Friday, May 8. The meet for high schools was held at Clinton simultaneously with the state college meet. Mary Baker played a consistent tournament brand of tennis all the way through the meet. Her ambidex terity attracted attention and en- husiastic comment from interestea experts and fans. She was coached by Henry Baker. This is the first time the title of State Tennis Champion has been held by a Newberry player. FARM MACHINERY SCHOOL SET Better care and repair and more efficient operation of harvesting ma chinery will be the subjects for dem onstrations at the farm machinery school on May 12th, at 2:30 p. m. at Blythewood according to P. B. Ezell, coutny agent. This school is one of a series being held over the state un der the sponsorship of the State and County U. S. D. A. War Boards. Var ious agricultural agencies and farm machinery dealers and manufacturers are cooperating in holding the schools. Demonsraions will be given by farm machinery specialists on meth ods of checking & adjusting mowers, binders, and combines, for the most efficient operation. Farmers who own operate harvesting machinery sthould plan to attend this school if at all possible in an effort not only to make their machinery last longer, but to keep it in the best operating condition which is so essential as a part of the war effort. SUNDAY IS HOSPITAL DAY National Hospital Day will be ob served by the Newberry County Hos pital on Sunday, May 17th, four to six o’clock. The citizens of Newber ry county are invited and urged to visit their hospital on this day. For the largest number of visitors wh;> register from any one township in Newberry county the hospital will give to the first mother and baby in that township three days of free hos pitalization. In 1941 the local hospital treated 1,038 in-patients; 167 out-patients; 132 babies were born here and 253 major and 271 minor operations were performed. If your baby was born at the hos pital and you do not have a birth cer tificate they want to give you one. You would have to go in person for this as the certificates cannot be mailed out. Dr. James C. Kinard, president of Newberry college, will speak on this occasion. Home Demon stration News With the bright, mild days of spring comes that urge to house clean. ' The winter fires have left their mark on the walls and woodwork. Now to get this off. First, rush off surface dirt with a long handled brush with soft hair or a floor broom covered with soft dust ing bag. Next, about those finger marks and soiled places on the woodwork— you can wash painted woodwork. In fact, you can wash any surface paint ed with oil paint if you use luke warm water and mild soap jelly. | After washing, rinse and dry the I paint. Wash with an up and down stroke. Overlap your strokes to avoid streaks. But take-.this in. Never use strong soap on paint. The alkali in strong soap weakens and discolors paint. And never use coarse scouring pow der. Coarse scouring powder takes the surface off the paint. Then the paint gets dirty quicker and is hard er to clean. If some places on the paint need scouring, use powdered chalk which goes by the name of whiting. Or use some other fine gen tle scouring soap. The extension service suggests an even easier way to wash painted woodwork. Wash it with a liquid glue solution. Here’s how to make the liquid glue. Soak a half pound of dry powdered glue in cold water. Then add two quarts of boiling wat er. Boil the water and glue 10 min utes. Now you have your liquid glue. Use a cup of this liquid glue in each basin of washing water. Simlpy dip your soft cloth or sponge in the basin of glue and water, wring out the cloth, and go over the painted woodwork. That’s all. No rinsing; no drying. The glue cleans and also gives a gloss to the paint. Cleaning walls may be more diffi cult than cleaning woodwork. It de pends on how the walls are finished. If your walls are painted with wash able oil paint, you can wash them as you do painted woodwork. Use a soft cloth or sponge wrung out of mild soapsuds. Wash up and down the walls with an even stroke. Then rinse and dry the paint. You .can clean badly soiled places with a little gentle scouring. Or you can wash painted walls with a special cleaning mixture of soap and water and turpentine. Dis solve 2 tablespoons of mild soap powder in 1 quart of warm water. Then add 3 tablespoons of turpen tine and stir rapidly. Wash the walls then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. HITLER S $250 CAR (The Chicago Tribune) All over Germany there are Hein richs who are wondering when they are going to get their Volkswagens. These were the $250 auromotiles Hit ler told the workers of Germany their government was going to make for them sq that they could travel about like Americans. Der fuehrer had some models developed and plac ed where many could see them. Hein rich couldn’t take a trip on Sunday in the Volkswagen, on which he was painfully making payments, but he could read about it, or even see a model of it. Hitler never got around to produc ing the cars for which he collected installment payments from his work ers. Opler, Daimler-Benz and other German auto makers said the Volks wagen was imparctical. Probably Hitler never meant to deliver the cars. It has been said that it was just a fake money raising scheme. But Volkswagen payments did have the effect of sopping up excess earn ings of workers, and by doing so help ed to keep prices, from rising. It gave Germany something to look forward to when butter and meat supplies were running low. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. King, 6f Bain- bridge, Ga., spent last week in the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Lip scomb. They were accompanred home by their daughter, Mrs. George Epps and baby, for a visit, before joining her husband, Lieut. Epps at Carlisle Barracks, Penn., where he has re cently been transferred. We would advise 1' * lepublicans to get rid of Joe Mart... as national chairman at the earliest possible moment, and of Clarence . Kelland as publicity executive, and to begin to make motions toward reading Mc Cormick’s Chicago Tribune out of the pajty.—New York Post. But for some painted walls wash ing won’t do. If your walls are paint ed with calcimine, you can’t wash them clean. All you can do is to give them a hew coat of calcimine. Sugar has become a weapon of war. It’s like this: Sugarcane is needed to make mo lasses—molasses is used in making industrial alcohol.—industrial alcohol is needed to make explosives. — EX PLOSIVES ARE NEEDED TO BLAST THE AXIS. Your sugar ration is all you will want— If you PLAN MEALS WISELY. If you COOK CAREFULLY. If you DON’T -WASTE ANY. But if you have a very sweet tooth and insist you want more sug ar than you’re going to get, remem ber—We’re in a War! « Every Farm Must Produce More Food Help win the war You must act now if you want to be sure of getting parts for your Farm Implements. This country is at war ... to win! Every vital material now being produced must go into our great struggle. This means that you, the farmers of America, must con centrate your efforts on producing more and even more food. Get every piece of your farm equipment into per fect working order now, while parts are still available. Johnson - McCrackin Co.
