THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C„ APRIL 23, 1943

TT IS always interesting to get an
1 angle from a top expert. Maj.
Robert Tyre Jones, now busy on his
job at Mitchel Field with the army
flight command,
has an angle that is
worth considering
when it comes to
golf.
It concerns the
abolition of par—
par for any hole or
par for any course.
“That word par,"
the major told me,
“has done more
damage than any
thing else in any
game. It has broken
the duffer’s or the average golfer’s
spirit, haunted his dreams and
spoiled a good part of his pleasure.
It has even tangled up the nerves
of the stars. And it really means
nothing at all.
“What par means to Byron Nel
son, Craig Wood, Ben Hogan or Sam
my Snead is something entirely dif
ferent from what it means to the
average player, the mass that make
up the game.
An Illustration
“Here’s an example. The average
golfer walks to the first tee, on a
440-yard hole, where he sees par
four inscribed on the card. He knows
he can’t get home in two strokes. He
is beaten before he starts. He takes
a six and his whole round is spoiled.
“On that same hole Snead, Nel
son, Hogan and others are home
with a drive and a six or seven iron.
On a 500-yard hole, a hard par five
for many players, they are home
with a drive and an iron.
“The point is that the great mass
of golfers are playing against cer
tain fixed figures set for the few
stars. These figures are far out of
reach, where the 90 per cent are
concerned. Yet they keep on bat
tling against impossible situations.
“Did you ever hear of par in foot
ball? Or baseball? Or tennis? Or
boxing? Bill Tilden never had any
par at which to shoot. He was jus*
out to beat his opponent.
The Mental Switch
“Golf,” Major Jones continued,
“should be a game for fun or recrea
tion and exercise. It should have
no other purpose for the millions
wh» play it. The contest should
never be against any par, but
against your opponent or your oppo
nents. Suppose you take a six on
the first hole? What difference does
that make if your opponent takes a
seven, and you win it?
“Take the case of the 95, or the
100 or the 110 shooters. They face
18 holes, each hole marked its set
par. So in the main they are fac
ing 18 objectives that are largely
beyond their ability. As a result,
they finish with tangled nerves and
low morale. They have missed most
of the fun which the game should
bring them.
“In my opinion, there should be
no par figures planted on any hole,
or on any score card. This would
help to bring about the mental
switch needed, to bring more fun
back to the game. They could then
go out and battle with their oppo
nents, with the wind and the sand,
with the rough and the ponds, with
no mocking ghosts of par following
them around the course.”
Craig Wood, Open champion,
backs up this viewpoint.
What Is Par?
“What is par, anyway?” Wood
asked me. “I’ve seen Jimmy Thom
son get home with a drive and a
six iron on a hole 540 yards in
length. So far as distance goes, that
hole is an easy par four for a Thom
son, a Snead or other big hitters.
But it is a tough par five for the
90 per cent. Or take that eighth
hole at Oakmont. It is around 265
yards, labeled a par three. That’s
the target the average golfer faces.
It doesn’t make sense.
“So let’s all forget about par, a
figure that means nothing to the
expert and makes the great major
ity miserable. Let’s bring back the
fun and recreation that belong to
golf, including the six or seven-mile
tramp in the open which older men
now need. Let’s make it a game of
player against player—and not a
game against the score card.”
To all of which your correspond
ent subscribes 100 per cent, with
the backing of some 2,000,000 or
more hackers, who have been har
assed by this will-o’-the-wisp from a
midnight swamp.
Nothing is more heartbreaking to
the average duffer than his battle
against a cold, inflexible par. He
can’t hope to match it—all he can
do is play and perhaps swear.
New Prizes
Miami recently came back to join
Los Angeles in another type of mod
ern golf.
The first two prizes were a pound
of coffee and two pounds of sugar.
Big entry list. Why not?
We may have a world series where
the winners and losers may split 60-
40 for a few barrels of turnips and
cabbage. Even spinach.
The main idea is to keep the ball
rolling, whatever the prize ahead.
Why not put in Whirlaway and Al-
sab for a ton of hay?
Chicken and Rice—Fine Favorite for Easter
(See Recipes Below)
Easter Essentials
How differently you will plan your
Easter dinner this year I You may
have to forget many of the tradi
tional foods and use only what your
ration points will allow you—or what
you can obtain at the grocer’s.
Many of you in former times had
baked ham or leg of lamb, but per
haps this year it
may be chicken,
or whatever ra
tion points will
allow. So, get out
your ration points
and put on your
thinking caps, la
dies, and see what we can have to
make this dinner a success.
Markets throughout the country
will have different meats available
for your selection. A lot will depend
upon how well you have saved your
points to splurge on this occasion.
If you plan chicken, stretch it with
rice as we do in this recipe:
*Fricassee of CLdcken.
(Serves 6 to 8)
4-pound chicken
^4 cup flour
3 tablespoons chicken fat
2 teaspoons salt
Paprika
3(4 cups boiling water
Freshly boiled rice
Clean chicken and cut into serving
portions. Dredge with flour and
brown in fat. Add seasonings and
boiling water to half cover. Sim
mer, closely covered, until tender,
about IMs to 3 hours. If desired,
place in oven to brown slightly after
tender, and serve with boiled rice.
Some of you
will perhaps be
fortunate enough
to obtain lamb. If
you cannot obtain
a leg of lamb, a
shoulder cut will
be nice to serve
with this barbe
cue sauce:
Lamb Shoulder, Barbecued.
4 pounds shoulder of lamb
1 medium onion
14 cup chili sauce
1 teaspoon salt
14 teaspoon pepper
Dash of cayenne
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 cup water
Mix onion, chili sauce, seasonings
With vinegar and water. Pour over
lamb which has been wiped with a
damp cloth and place in pan with
tightly fitting cover. Cover. Bake at
350 degrees for 314 hours.
*Orange and Greens Salad.
(Serves 8)
4 cups coarsely shredded greens
(lettuce, endive, watercress.)
14 cup sliced, stuffed green olives
14 cup diced orange sections
14 cup chopped green pepper
14 cup salad oil
4 tablespoons lemon juice
14 teaspoon salt
14 teaspoon celery seed
14 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Combine salad greens with or
anges, olives, green pepper. Mix
salad oil, lemon juice and season
ings. Just before serving toss light
ly together, mixing well together.
Lynn Says:
How to Save Ration Points: If
your old recipes call for tomato
juice, tomato soup and other
canned tomatoes, substitute
brown gravy. In most cases, it
will work quits well.
Substitute fresh fruits for
canned and dried fruits in des
serts and buy heavily of citrus
fruits. Serve them sectioned or
sliced. Use seasonal fruits gen
erously, as applesauce and rhu
barb.
Store any excess water from
cooked vegetables, and have it
well covered when stored. Use
in soups, gravies and stews.
When cookie recipes call for
dried fruits, omit them or use
them sparingly.
Omit chili sauce, catsup and
chow chow from menus. Use
them for seasoning foods such as
meat when cooking or for sand
wiches when necessary.

grees for 45 minutes. Cool and un
mold.
Table Decorations
If your food is simpler this year,
don’t feel that your table need lack
festivity suitable for the Easter oc
casion. In many of your gardens
daffodils or jonquils and tulips will
be out—ready and waiting to do
their nicest for your Easter dinner.
An effective centerpiece can be
made from as few as a half dozen
daffodils with their own green fo
liage in a shallow bowl. Have ta
ble accessories harmonize with this
color scheme by using a pale yellow
or white cloth with napkins.
If your taste—or your garden runs
to tulips, try deep red tulips with
white snapdragons.

THE RISEN LORD
LESSON TEXT—John 20:1-17.
GOLDEN TEXT—He Is risen.—Mark 16:8.
“Christ is living! My people shall
know it. I shall preach about it
again and again until they believe
as I do.” So exclaimed Dr. Dale of
London when the glory of Christ’s
resurrection laid hold of him as
never before. There began that day
the custom of singing an Easter
hymn in his church every Sunday
morning.
Easter has come again, and it
ought to make us glad to recall the
resurrection power of Christianity
in the midst of the world’s awful
sorrow and death. Easter should
mean more to us than ever this
year, if we believe in Christ. If we
do not, why not rid ourselves of the
dark garments of unbelief, and put
on the bright and beautiful garment
of faith in a living Christ. Let us
be clad in His righteousness.
The first Easter Sunday had scarce
ly dawned when the faithful Mary
came to the tomb. Finding the stone
rolled away from its entrance she
ran to find Peter and John. What
they came and saw, and what—or
rather who—she remained and saw,
make up our interesting lesson.
I. Peter and John Saw the Empty
Tomb (w. 1-10).
Peter, though he had denied his
Lord, was not sent away by his
brethren. They knew his true heart,
and evidently the gentle and loving
John had taken him to his home.
Mary knew where to find him. What
a tender incidental indication of the
Christian spirit of the brethren of
Peter.
John and Peter ran to the tomb.
The unusual news so stirred them
that John the younger did not think
to await the slower steps of Peter.
He came first, but when he did he
only looked in. Peter had no hesi
tation, but went right in. What he
found there was most significant.
Here was twofold evidence that
the body of our Lord had not been
stolen. The burial clothes were
there. They had not been carried off
by a thief. Nor had they been
snatched aside by a deceiver. They
lay in order. There off to one side,
carefully folded, was the head cov
ering. Je^us was gone, but He had
left in all the dignity and majesty of
a triumphant Lord.
What they saw caused John to be
lieve. It appears (v. 9) that they
had not yet understood the clear
teachings of the Old Testament re
garding the death and resurrection
of Christ. They were slow to be
lieve. Let not any in our day, with
its greater light, fail to believe.
Peter and John came and saw—
and then “they went away again
unto their own home.” And so they
missed tieeing Christ Himself.
H. Mary Met the Risen Christ
(vv. 11-17).
The tears of Mary were the genu
ine expression of a devoted heart,
but they were nevertheless mistaken
tears. The question of the angel re
veals that fact. Why weep because
His body was gone, when that was
the very thing which should give her
joy? Why weep over a dead Christ
when He was alive?
How often our discernment Is
dimmed by tears and our judgment
warped by sorrow. We look on the
wrong side of our circumstances and
see only a tangle of threads and
blurred colors. On the other side
God is weaving a pattern of beauty
and blessing, which will be our joy
through all eternity. Why not re
member that now?
Blinded with tears and troubled in
heart, Mary did not even recognize
the Lord when He spoke to her. But
our Lord looking into her soul and
knowing that it was her very love
for- Him which made it hard for her
to think of anything but His death,
gave to this true-hearted woman the
privilege of first seeing Him after
His resurrection.
As He spoke her name, she knew
Him. We recall that Jesus Him
self had said that He was the Good
Shepherd who “calleth his own sheep
by name” (John 10:3-14).
He knows your name and mine,
fellow Christian, and one day we
too shall hear His voice even as
Mary did on that day. She believed
and worshiped. Let us follow her
example this Easter day.
There is a danger that the observ
ance of Easter may lose its real
significance in the empty inciden
tals which the world would have us
believe make the day. It is a holi
day. There is thought of new clothes,
of formal church attendance, of fam
ily gatherings, of flowers and feast
ing. They are all right in their prop
er place. But let us be sure that no
adult fails to meet the risen Christ
today, and let us be sure that the
smallest child knows that this is
more than the day of bunnies and
candy eggs. They will rejoice in the
knowledge that a victorious Christ
lives to give them eternal life.
Let us really “keep the feast” this
year, purging out the leaven of
hypocrisy and dead works, and re
membering Christ (see I Cor. 5:7, 8).
