PROMOTION IN BASEBALL
Baseball is declared to need ■
"promotion man” by Larry Mac-
Phail and others. We second the
motion. Many things that would
raise baseball to the household es
teem enjoyed, say, by movies, ra
dio, etc., are neglected.
*
For instance, is baseball far be
hind the time in putting emphasis on
keeping it clean? Isn’t baseball los
ing its appeal by insisting that the
athletes conduct themselves with
good taste? Isn’t scandal essentia]
today to popular appeal?
*
A movie star gets into a series of
disgraceful episodes and is featured
anew in heroic war roles! Another
screen hero sounds off publicly in a
night club on his private love life
and his fan mail doubles! A young
lady becomes an overnight rage
4 hrough a particular catlike person
al ty!
m
Isn’t it possible that the mob would
tear down the baseball park gates to
get a look at a southpaw who had
just survived three indictments for
cradle snatching? Wouldn’t the at
tendance be trebled by the appear
ance of a shortstop who had divorced
two wives and was romping around
the gay spots with a new sweety?
♦
Maybe the falling off in baseball
attendance last year was due to the
fact no club carried enough gag men
to flood the press with wisecracks
which the ball players thought up in
the swankiest bars in town?
>
We pause for a reply. And we’re
Afraid we will get it.
«
Another job a promotion man
might tackle would be to put more
emphasis on food at the ball games.
Eating has become the Number One
sporting project and athletic feat,
anyhow. Why not glamorize the hot
dog? •
•
Thousands would flock to the ball
park upon reading a newly contrived
advertisement:
FRANKFURTERS
AND
NINE INNINGS OF
BASEBALL
AT POLO GROUNDS TODAY
2 P. M.
•
An:’ can you imagine how this
would raise attendance: “A SAND
WICH, A BAG OF PEANUTS AND
A DOUBLE HEADER FOR 75
CENTS.”

Promotion. That’s the idea! On
with it, boys! And how about name
orchestras and dancing under the
stahds when a game goes flat?

THE KIDS’ DEFENSE
(After meditating on recent lapses
on the part of the young folks.)
Low moral standards we’re above.
Our honesty’s true bine.
It comes from observation of
The things onr elders do!
The fine example that they set
(We see It everywhere)—
By grabbing every chanee to get
It easy here and there!
Onr ethics they are kept aloft
By merely looking at
Onr elders seeking something soft
And waxing rather fat.
We see the grownups merely wink
At virtue driven low.
And when we feel onr morals sink
This helps ns, don’t yon know!
The lawyers who boast ethics tall
Yet for a fancy fee
Will work for any crook at an,
And strive to set him free. . . .
Those politicians shrewd and deft—*
The gimme-gimme crew—
Those fixers to the right and left—
They help the kids, they do!!
Those movies fnll of grease-ball
guys—
The slickers glorified. . . .
The happy ending as it tries
To justify a snide. . . .
The spotlight for the cheap "fouj
baUs,”
The punkeroo and heel. . . .
Oh, how they help the kiddies aO
To keep an even keel!!!

A big New York department
Store is now specializing in diamond
sales. We remember away back
when no shoppers ever dreamed of
getting up early to get bargains in
precious stones.
And, believe it or not, money is
so free today that we saw a group
of housewives knocking one another
down to get a 20-carat stone
marked down to $5,456.89 from
$5,457.00.

Awah-h-h!
"Our last scruples must now be
cast aside and we must be cruel
and inconsiderable. We must mur
der and poison.”—German radio
spokesman.
•
The sight of the Nazis casting a
scruple at this stage of the game
must be one of the great spectacles
of all time. We don’t see how they
can do it in view of the Nazi scruple
shortage. There hasn’t been a good
scruple around Germany in years
unless somebody has been hoarding,
CHE’S A SHE-DEVIL to some Hol-
^ lywood people; to others she’s an
angel. Joan Fontaine is one of those
persons who never could be accused
of being wishy-washy. She’s elec
tric, giving off with dynamic im
pulses, sometimes a sparkling posi
tive, sometimes a crackling nega
tive.
Joan Fontaine is never neutral.
When she’s angry she’s lightning in
a summer storm,
and just as dead
ly; when she’s
gay she’s a ver
itable pinwheel
on wheels.
Exploded into
the ranks of the
screen’s first la
dies back in 1939
with a haunting
performance in
“The Women,’’
Joan has fre
quently been a storm center, and
’most always town’s gossip conver
sation piece.
Joan, when she wants to be, can
be a witch right out of “Macbeth.”
She once said: “I express my feel
ings by action. I have a frightful
temper, and I can fly into rages
about almost anything that gets on
my nerves at any time of day or
night.”
SurprUe, Surprise!
The big news of the moment is
that she went through one whole pic
ture without once losing her temper.
That was “The Affairs of Susan,”
for Hal Wallis at Paramount.
Producer Wallis, a wise man (he
must be—anyway he won 27 Oscars
during a 10-year period), provided
Joan with everything an actress
could set her heart upon. She had
not one but four leading men—
George Brent, Dennis O’Keefe, Don
De Fore, and Walter Abel. In the
picture each of these men falls in
love with her and wants to marry
her.
In “The Affairs of Susan” Joan
played her first comedy role, and
that scared her, she confided to me.
Says I to her: “You’ve got one of
the finest comedy directors in the
business—Bill Seller. He knows
more than many of our supposed
big shots, whom he’s taught all they
know, but can’t remember because
their hats are now too high for them
to balance the hat and the brain
underneath ’em. So with Bill just
let yourself go. He’ll carry the ball
over the goal line, and you’ll get the
credit.” She did, and now says, “I
prefer comedy to those droopy roles
I’ve been playing.”
lf» Contagious
But it wasn’t always sweetness
and light with Joan. On her last
picture, the $4,000,000 "Frenchman’s
Creek,” there was more than a little
trouble between her and Artnro De
Cordova, the technicolor pirate.
Joan was very unhappy on that one,
and when Joan’s unhappy every one
within shouting and shooting range
is apt to be unhappy, too.
All due to a misunderstanding of
the language. He apologized, she
apologized, and they were friends
again.
Many of the reports circulated
about Joan are pure malice. Joan
just never bothers to answer back.
“But I don’t let those things both
er me any more,” she dd me. “Aft
er all, by this time they’ve said ev
erything and written everything that
could be said or written about me,
so why explain anything?”
Don’t You Believe It
The Fontaine-De Havilland “feud”
rumors, for instance, are a part of
the legion of legends about her. Joan
contends there isn’t any feud, never
has been one. “Why,” says she, “if
Liwy ever needed help I’d be the
first one she came to, and vice
versa.”
No, there is no feud, but the fact
that she took the name Fontaine,
and not Liwy’s made talk, as Joan
knew it would. She wanted no one
to write a story about Liwy’s baby
sister, said she. “If I can’t win on
my own, being tied to Liwy’s apron
strings won’t help me. So what the
heck! Just call me Joan Fontaine—
or don’t call me.”
Regarding the reports that she
has trouble with her directors she
answers: “How’s any one going to
undermine a Hitchcock or a Cukor
or a Bill Seiter? It’s ridiculous!”
Joan is a determined person with
a will of iron. If something comes
up she disagrees with she just plants
herself in the position she intends to
maintain—and she maintains it. Ask
David O. Selznick. He knows.
“I was sick of being the sad sack
of the screen,” said she. “I wanted
to play comedy, and now that I’ve
done it, I’m happier than I’ve ever
been in Hollywood.”

Unknown Becomes Known
A new guy named Tommy Trout,
six footer, 185 pounds, appeared at
the studio, asking for a job. They
thought he wanted to work as a la
borer. Said he, “I want to act.” As
a joke, he was sent to Lillian Burns,
Metro’s coach. After five minutes
with him she phoned the boss, and
said, “If we don’t sign him we ought
to have our heads examined.” They
signed. He’s finished his first, “Main
Street After Dark.” They swear
from his performance he’s been act

P ASTEURIZATION of eggs as de
veloped at the University of Mis
souri, or the flash heat treatment of
Cornell university, promises to
prove of considerable value to the
poultry and farm industries.
The pasteurizing of shell eggs not
only destroys bacteria but causes
shell eggs to retain their desirable
physical properties much longer
than do untreated eggs.
In the Cornell flash heat treatment
of eggs, a five-second exposure of
fresh eggs to boiling water forms a
thin protective film of coagulated al
bumen, adherent to the shell mem
brane. This treatment of eggs at
temperatures above the coagulation
point of albumen proved to be an
efficient method for the preser
vation of table eggs.
The application of the pasteuriza
tion process to shell eggs may prove
of great value to the poultry in
dustry when applied to eggs as they

The treatment is simple and re

boiling water for five seconds, cooled
and placed in cold storage or a re

THE AUTHOR AND PERFECTER
OF OUR FAITH
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 27:62 28:9.
GOLDEN TEXT—Let ua run with pa
tience the race that is set before us. looking
unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our
faith.—Hebrews 12:1. 2.
Christianity is a resurrection faith!
How good it is to recall that, in this
troubled year of 1945, even as we
share once more the spiritual in
spiration of Easter Sunday.
Today we recall that the loving
hands of His friends and followers
had given themselves in what they
thought was to be their final act of
devotion to their Lord. His body
had been tenderly laid in Joseph’s
tomb and the great stone rolled in
place at its door.
But even as some were kind and
loving, there were others who were
so relentless in their hatred that
they pursued Christ even beyond the
grave.
I. The Hatred of Christ’s Enemies
(27:62-66).
We sometimes wonder at the bit
terness of the enemies of Christian-
i ity in our day. Had we given more
earnest heed to the Bible story we
should have known that it was so
from the very beginning.
The wicked men who brought
about the crucifixion of Jesus were
not content to let Him rest in His
grave. They had lusted after His
life and they had taken that, but
even as He lay silent in the tomb,
the priests and the Pharisees came
to Pilate and called Him “that de
ceiver” (v 63) and demanded a spe
cial guard.
They feared that His disciples
would perpetrate a fraud, and after
stealing the body declare that He
was risen. Wicked and deceitful
hearts can imagine all sorts of
treachery on the part of others.
The hatred of unbelievers toward
Christ and toward His followers
knows no stopping place. In civil
ized lands and among cultured peo
ple it operates under a cloak of re
spectability, but it is nonetheless
bitter and relentless in its pursuit of
Him and of His church.
H. The Victory of Christ (28:1-6).
Victory and praise should be the
keynote of Christianity. Why should
we be doleful and sad? Our Lord
has come back victorious from the
grave! We may be glad and sing
even in the midst of earth’s sor
rows and distresses. Let praise be
the employ of our lips constantly
as we worship Him and work for
Him.
The picture that greeted the sur
prised eyes of the two women as
they came to the grave, as it began
to dawn on the first day of the week,
was one resplendent with the glory
and majesty of God. The earth
quaked as the lightning flashed. The
angel of the Lord broke through the
supposedly unbreakable seal of
Rome and rolled back the stone
which was to have permanently
closed the door to the tomb.
This was done, not to release
Christ—for He had already gone, no
grave could hold Him—but that men
might see the empty grave and know
that He was risen. Other religions
keep the graves of their founders.
Christianity points to an empty
tomb..
through which air i? forced into and
upward through the hay by a blower
powered with an electric motor, or
when electricity is not available by
a gasoline motor.
The use of the forced ventilation I
system enables farmers to move
their forage crops into the mow two
to four hours after cutting, before
the leaves begin to shed.
Farm Windbreaks Pay
Dividends Annually
Planting evergreen windbreaks
which will pay dividends in the fu
ture is a wartime farm improve
ment that should be undertaken at
once.
Not only will the windbreak be a
protection for the home, cutting
down the cold winter winds, it will
save heating costs as a result.
In many localities it is possible
to secure planting stock which would
have some commercial value—fruit,
nuts or for the wood contained.
As materials for many other im
provements are not available, now
is the time when considerable im
provement can be made by planting
desirable trees. Not only will the
value of the land be improved, but
many of the trees could produce an
annual pay crop to the farmer.
COMIPBICES IN 2WABS
To the foes of Christ represented
by the keepers, the coming of the
angel and the revelation of the pow
er of God brought absolute discom
fiture. That is still true. Men will
argue with theology, church meth
ods, even Christian profession, but
when they see the power of God re
vealed, they can only be "as dead
men.”
To the friends of Christ, the angel
brought comfort and assurance.
Their fears were assuaged by his
word of comfort, and then their faith
was revived by the assurance that
Christ was risen. The resurrection
declares that He is the Son of God
with power, the Saviour of the
world.
III. The Joy of Christ’s Disciples
(28:7-9).
The followers of Christ had their
share of fear and unbelief, but it
was quickly overcome by joy and
assurance as they knew that their
Lord was risen.
The note of great joy is highly
appropriate on Easter Sunday, but
just as proper on every Sunday—
yes, every day of the Christian’s
life. He is risen from the dead!
That settles all questions about His
deity. His power, His salvation. It
meets the problems of our lives with
an unfailing word of confidence and
joy.
Be sure to note that such good
news must not be kept to ourselves,
i We should emulate the zeal of the
j disciples, who “departed quickly” to
i make it known to their families and
| friends. The story of the victorious
Saviour is still unknown to many
| thousands—possibly we should say
| millions. Let someone depart quick-
I ly to tell them of Jesus. And don’t
i forget to ask yourself, “Should that
someone be me?”
| Jesus met them on the way with
a greeting of peace. He loves to
fellowship with His people as they go
on His errands. You will find Him
there awaiting your coming.
