5;’ X THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C- Joe Louis and Billy Conn be after the war is over and they are back at the old trade?” “O. K.," he said, "if they are not held in the army too long. I under stand Louis is up around 230 pounds now and Conn weighs 210. But giv en time I feel sure that Louis can get back to 210 or 212 pounds and that Conn can make 190, which would be a more useful weight in the heavyweight group. Both have been giving boxing exhibitions at vari ous camps, also acting as boxing instructors now and then, and this Should help to check any big slump In form. “Louis has always been a hard -worker. Before entering army serv ice his average road work was about five miles a day. He isn't young in a fighting way, but he isn’t too old. He is still younger than Jim Cor bett was in his famous comeback against Jim Jeffries, younger than Fitzsimmons was when he stopped Corbett at Carsotf City. “Conn will have little trouble get ting down to 190 pounds. He can get even lower. He is much younger than Louis and is still short of his prime. Conn at 185 or even 190 pounds can still be fast—and be a much harder puncher. It is a sure thing that the first defense Louis makes of his title will be against Conn. Each has had about the same war handicap so far as ring train ing is concerned.” There are reports about that Louis and Conn will be asked to put on a war charity fight some time later. This would be com pletely unfair to Louis who has already given war and navy re lief two free contests. Louis still owes the government over $150,000 in the way of income taxes and the problem he faces now is paying this back. Even if he re ceived $200,000 for his first fight after the war he would be lucky to keep $40,000 of this amount, with new taxes piled on. It would take fpur major fights to get him nearly «ven. Washington could hardly af ford to ask Louis tor another charity show after throwing away nt least $1,000,000 for the Red Cross or army and navy relief by refusing to let Army and Navy football teams meet in Philadelphia or New York. We still feel this insane switch to Annapolis before some 10,000 spec tators will be changed later on. We 3iave had some odd and bewildering curves thrown at us from Washing ton, but nothing quite as baffling as the present location of the next Army-Navy game. Putting on Weight It has been a matter ot 17 years now since Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey met in their second battle in Chicago. Since that date Tunney has added 25 pounds and Dempsey has packed on 20. They are both now around the same weight at 210 or 212 units of displacement. I have seen both recently and the two of them look to be as ' physically fit as men of their age can hope to be. Both are many years older than Louis, and Louis is many pounds heavier than either. Big Gate Promised Mike Jacob's mouth begins to water and his teeth make an extra clatter when he thinks of the next Louis-Conn collision. If fought today or in the near future, with over $25,000,000,- 000 in loose change floating around, it would wreck all past receipts by at least a million or more. It might easily be a $4,000,000 show if Mike could get away with the prices he could get, from $200 a seat on down. This would be all right with the government and the state, for both would get plenty. This may seem to be an extrava gant estimate, but how many be lieved a while back that the three New York tracks would shove $400,- 000,000 through the mutuel windows in 1944, with a similar amount pass ing through the hands of the book makers? This latter, of course, is a guess. But the amount is still a healthy hunk of change. The surest bet on the calendar after the war is that the Louis-Conn party will be one of the biggest sporting and financial shows ever known. Remember Gerhardt? “The greatest natural athlete I ever saw,” says Maj. Lou Beard, “was a West Pointer by the name of Charley Gerhardt. You may have heard of him lately. He was the major - general who first broke through at Saint Lo in France. “Gerhardt had played little base ball when he came to West Point but in a few months he was one of the greatest infielders we ever had. He had played no football at all, but shoved into the quarterback spot, he was an outstanding star.” ONE OF THESE DAYS MISSING: Schickelgruber, Adolf; 64, five feet 10; weighs 167; color: extra white. Last seen with both feet off ground looking for a secret airport from which to take off to a secret destination, but lacked secret running shoes. Once known as “Fuehrer" but now answers to the name of “Fido." Wears funny mustache, has wild look in eyes, has passion for mi crophone and might be found in vicinity of amplifiers. Has illusions of grandeur; labors under impres sion lie is Napoleon Bonaparte and always acts on hunches. Proof that he has just acted on a hunch is usually furnished by the fact he is eating rugs. Is pasty faced and suffers from halitosis, double vision, battered chins, dandruff, hardening of the outlook, inflammation of the intelli gence and bunions at base of spine due to recent travel on his pos terior. m Formerly had a swastika en graved on left chest but recently had it transferred elsewhere. Large heads of Churchill, Stalin and Roose velt tatooed on his right chest and can’t understand how they got there. Across his back is inscription: “Available for paperhanging at old rates.” Several scars on abdomen due to Patton operation. * Three toes on right foot missing; may have had them removed to con ceal ancestry. All teeth missing except one on lower jaw which Axis failed to kick out through care lessness. Limp gives him the ap pearance of being crippled, but is due to fact he has been walking around in two left-footed shoes most of life without knowing it. ♦ Is of highly nervous temperament; subject to fits of violence at men tion. of Yanks, RAF, etc., or rendi tions of “The Last Time I Saw Paris,” “Russian Lullaby” and “God Save the King.” This man is wanted for trying to subjugate Europe, giving the planet its greatest headache, committing untold brutalities, being a general nuisance and trying to make a frankfurter, a loaf of pumpernickle and a plate of saurkraut take the place of Magna Charta, the Statue of Liberty and the Ten Command ments. Is noisy, irrational and altogether unpleasant. Boasted he would never remove military uniform until he had licked the world, but will probably be found in a costume no better than that of similar bums. Can dance a jig but there is hardly a chance he will care to now. Is a vegetarian which explains that cauliflower odor. 0 Spent early years as a housepaint- er and paperhanger and may fre quent stores selling short steplad- ders and new soaps for cleansing overalls. This man may be traveling with others of his type, as many are known to be in similar flight. If they are traveling in one group their de tection should be simple: they will be trying to alibi their flight to one another. Liberal reward, dead or alive.

By VIRGINIA VALE O N THE telephone, from Bev erly Hills to New York, the voices of Amos ’n Andy had all the warmth and friendliness that have made their program a top- notcher for 25years. They packed a lot of information into that five-minute interview. Their once-a- week show is five times as much work as the old daily one, said they —they work on it at their office, keeping hours like any other busi ness men. Guest stars must be used in believable situations—when Phi' Baker appears with them next month, there’ll really be a show within a show. Incidentally you’ll be able to see as well as hear them when television comes; they have their show practically perfected. —*— Four years after Marcy McGuire left her home town, Des Moines, she went back to visit; the mayor gave her the keys to the city, Governor mabcy McGuire Hickenlooper presented her with a large Purple Heart, just why we don’t know; her work in “Higher and Higher” hardly deserved that! * The greatest number of prints ever prepared on a subject of its kind has been ordered by Warner Bros, for distribution of “The Battle of the Marianas,” official U. S. Ma rine Corps film edited by Warners for the OWI. It portrays the con quest of Saipan and Tinian islands and the recapture of Guam, and is being exhibited under the auspices of War Activities Committee-Motion Picture Industry. * Wounded American prisoners cap- , tured on D-day and recaptured in a German hospital during the Brittany drive were among 9,500 soldiers who attended the first world premiere of a movie in liberated France—the film was “Casanova Brown.” * For George N. Niese the tough break came first; a radio actor, he went into the army air force, suf fered spinal injuries in a plane crash and was hospitalized for months. Then came the break that made up for it—RKO signed him, he made his debut in “Experiment Perilous,” which co-stars Hedy Lamarr, Paul Lukas and George Brent—and in his first scene, he had to take Hedy in his arms and kiss her! —*— Danny Kaye’s next picture for Samuel Goldwyn will be “Fancy Free,” a comedy built around a mili tary policeman who gets into ro mantic trouble after the liberation of Paris. —*— New York city policemen in the midtown sector have been officially advised that Ralph Edwards’ “Truth or Consequences” is back on the air. Since some of the program’s wacki est stunts are performed outdoors, Edwards found he saved a lot of time and trouble if he took the pre caution of apprising the cops first. * Cecil B. DeMille’s radio theater celebrates its tenth anniversary on October 16—during those ten years it’s been responsible for a lot of things, one being the parade of big radio stars to the West coast. By 1936 most of its talent was coming from Hollywood, so the show moved to the movie capital. It has out lived all other shows of its type, uses more than 1,100 actors every year. —*— There’s never been a western pic ture that didn’t make money, yet the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences refused to include west ern movie-makers in a special di vision.

The Moody Bible Institute of ChicagO' Released by Western Newspaper Union. 3 Lesson for October 15 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. JESUS’ UNDERSTANDING OF MAN LESSON TEXT—Matthew GOLDEN TEXT—And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was la man.—John 2:23. What is a man worth? That de pends on your point of view. In a museum stands a collection of small jars containing minerals, water, etc., which make up the body of a man, and which are valued at less than a dollar. But there is more to man than his body. And that “more”—intellectual and spiritual—is what determines his real value. Jesus understood (yes, and now He understands) man, and places a high valuation on him. That is worth knowing in a world where the price of humanity is often figured on the basis of his usefulness in war fare or the factory. Jesus really understands man. He knom his l. Need (v. 9). The first thing Jesus saw in the synagogue was not the leaders, or the beautifully appareled rich, or the learned scribes. He saw a man with a withered hand, one who needed His help. The enemies of Chris*, complimented Him by expecting Him to see the crippled one—and they “watched him” (Mark 3:2), for it was the Sabbath. Do we see the real need of human ity? Does it speak to us and prompt us to helpful action? If not, are we like our Lord and Master? n. Value (w. 10-12). They who would not hesitate to save a sheep in distress on the Sab bath did not want the man to re ceive help. Thus they put property above the person of man, and showed their low valuation of man. The dignity of man’s personality, the fact that he is made in the like ness and image of God, the great potentialities which exist in every man—all these should urge upon the Christian church the need of a new and higher estimate of the worth of a man—or a boy or a girL Let us look at them with God’s eyes, and seek to win them for Him. m. Faith (v. 13). No doubt this man had tried count less times to straighten out that withered arm. It was the very thing he most wanted to do, but it was quite impossible. Is Jesus then charging him with the impossible, asking him to do what cannot be. done? No, for He saw in this man the desire to be whole and faith in God’s ability to make him whole. Dr. G. Campbell Morgan puts it well: “We turn from a contempla tion of a withered hand and look at the face of Jesus. The moment we do this, we know that the command is possible because He commands it, however impossible it may ap pear. To look into that face must inevitably have meant to be certain that He was not there to reveal dis ability, save as He was also there to put an end to it.” IV. Enmity (w. M, 15a). Jesus saw the good in man. He also saw the evil. He was not un aware of the hatred and the dark devices of His enemies. Until the day when He was to permit them to take Him captive in the garden. He withdrew from them, leaving them to their evil designs and their wicked unbelief. Sometimes when we see how the wicked seem to flourish in our day, how they appear % to go on without let or hindrance, we are prone to forget that there is One who “sits in the shadows,” and who knows and notes not only their ungodly deeds, but also their sinful thoughts. He knows, and that is enough for us. Let us not be seeking vengeance, nor fretting ourselves because of evil doers. God knows, and He will care for it all. V. Weakness (w. 15b-21). Men hesitate to admit their weak ness to one another, always trying to keep up the appearance of strength and success. Well, there is no need of that kind of subterfuge with God. “He knoweth our frame; he remem- bereth that we are dust” (Ps. 103: 14). Jesus sympathized with those who were physically ill and He healed them (v. 15). What comfort there is in knowing that He is present at the sick bed of every believer, and that He is able to heal as it may be His will and purpose. Only He can do it. But there is something even more precious here. Man is weak not only physically but spiritually. His spiritual light may at times be near ly out, just a smoldering wick in stead of a brightly shining lamp. We might be tempted to say that it is so weak, so disagreeable, so smoky —let’s put it entirely out. But not Jesus. He will, if permitted, fan it into flame again. Then, too, man is like a broken reed. The picture is that of a stick cut to use for support as one walks. And then it breaks—what shall we do? Break it into smaller pieces and throw it away? Yes, that is what we will do if we have not the spirit of Jesus. How to Remove Partition Between Rooms, Yet Have Separate Units By Ruth Wyeth Spear* CUKTAIN BE CUKTAWS DRAWN WHILE TABLE CHAIR TWO RODS ALONft VALi H AVE you ever thought of re moving the partition between your living and fining room but feared the ceiling would sag if sup ports were removed?
