THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. & C. McGOOFEY'S FIRST READER This is a steer. Where is the steer? The steer is on the ranch. Will the steer leave the ranch? We hope so. • What are those things on the pteer’s head? Horns. Are they necessary? Well, you have to use something in hamburgers! • Oh, see the steer’s tall! Yes, it is a long tail. What is the tall good for? If the war lasts long much longer you will find out. • The steer looks nervous. You would look nervous, too, if you were a steer. What makes the steer nervous? The Government, Chester Bowles, the Black Market, the Rancher, the Ultimate Consumer, etc. Why do they make the steer nerv ous? The steer knows that he would get better protection under the rules of bullfighting. • The steer looks round-shouldered. Yes, and so would you if you were in its place. What makes the steer round-shoul dered? He gets that way standing under the ceiling. Does the steer have to stand un der a ceiling? Come, come, don’t you ever read the papers? • Why does the steer stand under a ceiling? To get across the street. What street? Pennsylvania avenue. • Oh, look! What’s happened? The ceiling seems to >« changing. Yeah. It seems to be going up? It is going up about four dollars. Why are they giving the steer a new ceiling? It seems there was agitation. • Who agitated? The butcher, the OPA and the peo ple who were tired of mutton and pork. Do people ekt ceilings? No; the beetatews only taste that way. • Now that the ceiling is higher win the steer cease to be round-shoul dered? Round or flat you’ll be glad to get it. You can depend on one thing. What is that? The consumer will become round- ahouldered. Why? Looking for a meat market where ceilings make any difference. (End of Lesson) • • • THE CLOTHING INQUIRY Washington is getting after the clothing situation. It is out to roll back the prices of shirts, drawers, rompers, suits, dresses and what not. • It’s about time. It has been think ing too much about beef and not enough about shorts. • • • What is important to the average American, more hamburgers or more underwear? • There hasn’t been as much of a public howl over the high costs of dressing because the uneven distri bution hasn’t been so glaring. It is not easy to tell when one man is getting the best shirts. Or wheth er Mrs. Beemish is able to buy the choicest cuts of undies while Mrs. Mooney hasn’t been able to get any thing br.t the roughest lingerie in a year. • Unlike the situation in the meat crisis, you have not been able in a clothes shortage to go down to Joe’s place and get all the apparel you wanted. • If down to your last pair of pants, you couldn’t go to a smart restaurant and get them in all styles and colors at a price. • We haven’t heard of a “black pants market.’’ But it may come soon. • It may take points to get a pair of socks, a pair of pajamas or a vest before long. • • • Mrs. Whitney said the shortage of women in Alaska was accompanied by an “absence of other things— there are no insects, no rodents, no dust, no poison ivy.”—Newspaper item. • Is that putting it nicely? • • • General Homma of Japan says, “It is assumed that the Japanese Grand Fleet will now abandon its passiveness.” What the general means is, “Come Out, Come Out, Come Out Wherever You Are.” Geraldine Farrar ’"PODAY’S Solid Sams and their slick chicks can whistle Chopin’s “Valse in A Flat” with almost as little trouble as they can “Beat Me, Daddy, Eight to the Bar.” You can credit that victory for “good music” to the movies. Radio claims some of the credit for famil iarizing Joe and Mary Public with classical selections, but it really has been the sound film that has glam orized symphonies and grand operas. Time was, and not so long ago, kiddies, when any music that wasn’t hot-cha was considered “long-hair.” One sure way to lose not only your shirt but also your entire ward robe was to spon sor concerts or opera. Both had to be subsidized until the movies came along and demonstrated that by a new showm a n s h i p Chopin, Tscbai- kowsky, and the other old boys could have almost as great a mass appeal as Jerome Kern, Irving Ber lin and Cole Porter. Personally, I’d like to own a piece of “A Song to Remember,” the film based on the life and music of Fred eric Chopin—and Columbia can take me up on that hint any time they want to. This film, which bases its appeal on classical music, is not only a treat for the ears and eyes, but it’s packing folks into the thea ters wherever it’s shown. When Cornel Wilde is at the key board playing any of the dozen se quences, audiences are as thrilled as though they were listening to selec tions from this week’s “Hit Parade.” In handing out hosannas, one has to be directed toward Charles Vidor, director. That Vidor boy has gone places — “Cover Girl,” "Together Again,” and “A Song to Remem ber,” all in one yearl I take off my latest chapeau in salute to Harry Cohn for presenting Chopin’s music. Harry has cham pioned good music on the screen be fore and turned it into a box office hit. Daddy of Them All Cecil B. De Mille really is respon sible for introducing good music to the screen.* It was 'way back in the silent days—1915, to be exact—that C. B. lured Geraldine Farrar away from the Metropolitan Opera com pany to appear in “Carmen.” The Bizet music accompanied "Carmen” when it was shown, and the combination was a hit. When Vitaphone introduced sound to the screen in 1927, Warners ex perimented with good music. Gio vanni Martinelli sang “Vesti la Giub- ba” from “Pagliacci,” and the New York Philharmonic played the “Pil grims’ Chorus” from Wagner’s “Tannhaueser.” In 1930 MGM signed Metropolitan Thrush Grace Moore to play the Swedish Nightingale, Jenny Lind, one of the great singers of the last century. Grace sang “Casta Diva” from “Norma,” as well as selections from “The Daughter of the Regi ment.” But when the film was com pleted it was publicized with no ac cent on the music. The picture failed. Try, Try Again After Columbia hit pay dirt with “One Night of Love” the rush start ed for musical compositions of qual ity. Lilting-voiced Lily Pons made “I Dream Too Much,” in which she sang "Caro Nome," from “Rigolet- to,” and "The BeU Song,” from the score of “Lakme.” Nino Martini sang arias, from “Pagliacci," “Ma- non,” and “Tosca” in “Here’s to Ro mance.” Lawrence Tibbett, who had sung only semi-popular music in “The Rogue Song,” was permitted to do the operatic type of selection in which he excels in “Metropolitan” and other films. Deanna Durbin has sung arias from many famed operas. Jean nette MacDonald, with a light opera voice suited to the melodies of Vic tor Herbert and Friml, interpolated several grand opera selections in her pictures with Nelson Eddy. Univer sal brought Stokowski to the screen with a full symphony orchestra in A Hundred Men and a Girl,” dur ing which he conducted Tschaikow- sky’s Fifth symphony and a Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody.” Metro will soon release “Music for Millions,” in which Iturbi conducts the fourth movement of Dvorak’s New World” symphony, and other music in this film includes works by Debussy and Handel. Yes, the movies have made good music a pal of the average citizen. Story of 'Way Back When Dining with Mrs. Tommy Meighan, I learned that sister Blanche Ring was the first to hire Will Rogers. She saw him do his rope act in Tex as and engaged him for “Wall Street Girl.” He said he wouldn’t talk. Opening night on Broadway, he was such a hit she asked if he wouldn’t say something. He did; he said, “Thanks!” . . . Universal has a won derful story it wants '’erle Oberon to do. It’s a Bruce Manning script called “As It Was Before.” I hear Metro offered $200,000 for it. Make Your Next Pie With Vegetables (See Recipes Below) Vegetables De Luxe Of course, the family won’t eat vegetables that are cooked beyond recognition with all their delicate colors washed out. Do you blame them? Vegetables don’t have to look that way. Spinach can be a rich green with enough of its character left in to hold up a few of the leaves. Peas can be as green as when they are first picked, cabbage almost as crisp as when it was first picked and green beans fork-tender and well seasoned. Two rules to remember in vege table preparation are these: First, prepare your vegetable just before ready to cook. Don’t let it stand in water to have the flavor and nutriments leeched out. Second, cook only until tender and then serve at once. Another complaint that we fre quently hear about vegetables is that they lack flavor. That’s easily remedied. Coax out the natural fla vor with cooking in salted water, then taste before serving and per haps add a bit more salt, a dust ing of pepper and melted butter or bacon dripping if you like a smoky flavor in your vegetable. Sometimes a cream sauce will add interest to the vegetable, or per haps a cheese sauce will bring out its best points. Today’s recipes will give you the cues to making these vegetables a star attraction on your menus. Corn a La King with Bacon.

Treated Fence Posts Last Twenty Years New Method Cost Now Reduced to Six Cents 'TP HE chlorinated phenol dunking method of treating fence posts, a comparatively new wood preserva tive, can be used at a cost of from 5 to 6 cents per post. Tests con ducted at the University of Idaho experiment station show that the life of soft wood posts, properly treated by this method, will be from 15 to 20 years. They found that the bottom of the post will last the life of the top. Not only is it possible to treat fence posts, but fence rails, gates, barn sills, bridge timbers, irriga tion gates, and similar pieces can be treated. Chlorinated phenol is a liquid con centrate, and can be obtained full strength or diluted with various amounts of oil. Buying in concen trate form saves shipping and stor age; it can then be diluted in pro portions of one part of concen trate to 14 parts of diesel oil, stove oil or old crank case drainings. Not only for this purpose but for spray ing purposes, it is usually possible to secure crank case drainings at service stations at little cost. Agriculture In the News W. J. DRYDEN White Ash. The white ash is not only Amer ica’s leading hardwood but its most important ash. It grows from Nova Scotia westward to Minnesota and southward almost to the Gulf of Mexico. It is a stately tree 75 to 125 feet high. The wood of the white ash is heavy, hard, strong and stiff, seasons well, takes a good polish and is free from taste or odor. Its principal uses are for handles, cooperage, furniture, motor vehicle parts, sporting and athletic goods, as well as railroad ties, veneer and fuel. Select Dairy Cows On Standard Basis In selecting dairy cows certain definite points must be looked for. Among the most important are: 1. Ample digestive capacity, which means good length, width and depth of body. 2. A good constitution as shown by great chest capacity. 3. A large udder of soft quality. A good type dairy cow. 4. The rump should be long, wide and level and the hip bones should be wide apart. 5. The hide should be th i , loose and pliable, and the bones of medi um size, with the head showing gen eral refinement. 6. Must have dairy temperament, or tendency and ability to produce milk. 7. Generally the larger the diary cow the better. Size and quality, however, must be properly corre lated.

LUNDQUIST, D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicaso. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for March 4 Lesson subjects and Scripture text* Jected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used oy permission. JESUS TEACHES FORGIVENESS LESSON TEXT—Matthew 18:21-35. GOLDEN TEXT—If ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.—Matthew 6:14, 15. Forgiveness ts the very essence of Christianity. In Christianity only do we find an adequate and proper deal ing with sin, leading to forgiveness. In Christ alone do we find that for giveness. cleansing and regenera tion. Since God has so willingly and wonderfully provided for our for giveness, it would seem that we would need no urging to make us forgiving in spirit toward one an other. Yet it is indeed “a melancholy fact that there are few Christian duties so little practiced as that of forgiveness. It is sad to see how much bitterness, unmercifulness, spite, harshness and unkindness there is among men” (J. C. Ryle). I. The Extent of Forgiveness (w. 21, 22). “How long do I have to stand it?” is the question of the human heart, especially if untouched by the spirit of Christ. The injustices of life, the offenses of 1 our fellow men against us, all seem to pile up until the bur den is about to crush us. What is the answer to man’s question? The Jews had an answer. He said three times is enough. Forgive once, yes. Again, yes. But the third time, no. Peter was bighearted enough to more than double that allowance of mercy. He was willing to forgive not just two or three times, but sev en times. The spirit of Christ swept all of that aside. He said that one should forgive 70 times seven. In other words, Christian forgiveness is to be untiring, unlimited, to know no weariness and have no boundaries. If one really forgives, it is because he has a forgiving spirit, and that spirit is not exhausted by use, but rather grows by exercise. A word cf caution is in order at this point. Let no one suppose that our Lord’s instruction means that offenses against the law of the land or' against the good order of society are to be overlooked and condoned. It relates rather to the cultiva tion of a personal spirit of forgive ness, the laying aside of revenge, of malice, of retaliation which do not become the Christian. H. The Motive of Forgiveness (w. 23-34). Two motives are given. The first is that since we ourselves are daily and hourly in need of forgiveness at the merciful hand of God, we should in turn be merciful toward those who sin against us. Compared with our offenses against the law of God, we know that the misdeeds of our neighbors against us are usually mere trifles. Remember what God has done for you, when you are tempted to be hard and ungracious with your brother. The second motive is the remem brance that a day of judgment is to come. There is always a time of reckoning ahead, even as was the case with these servants. Remem ber not only what God has done for you and is doing for you, but what you must yet expect Him to do in that day of judgment. It will make you merciful and gracious in your judgment of others. Forgiveness has a fine quality which commends itself to others. Note the sorrow of the fellow serv ants (v. 31). There is, then, a so cial value in true forgiveness. III. The Importance of Forgive ness (v. 35). A man dealing with his fellow man is apt to think that it is merely a matter between man and man. We are not dealing with a straight line between ourselves and our brother (that was Peter’s error), but with a triangle at whose apex is God Himself. If I expect God to forgive me, I must let my forgiveness flow out to my brother. • If I deal with him as though God had nothing to do with the matter, then I must not try to count God’s forgiveness into the picture when I stand indebted before Him. God does not play favorites. He is no respecter of persons. He is as interested in the other man as He is in me. The Christian should have the same spirit. Here we need a word of explana tion. Let no one suppose that our redemption in Christ is contingent upon what we do toward our breth ren. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of your selves: it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast” (Eph. 2:8, 9). Nor does the truth of our lesson mean that we are somehow going to bargain with God, trading a bit of our forgiveness toward others for His forgiveness of us. God is not interested in such transactions. But it dots mean that if you can not or will not forgive, you may well consider whether you are a Christian at all, for it is Christlika to forgive.
