THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY, S. C. MORE MEAT FOR THE AMATEUR FISHERMAN! The recent battle of deep sea fish ermen for more ration points for meat found wide public sympathy. Nothing makes a man hungrier than fishing. • And that goes for ordinary fisher men, too. Which prompted Elmer Twitchell, the famous river, inlet and lake angler, to come out strong ly today in favor of more grub for the amateur and semi-pro boys. * “Have you seen those lunches that are being put up these days for the individual small-time fisherman?” demanded Mr. Twitchell. “Not a calory in a carload!” • “It’s reached a point where it’s almost impossible for a fisherman to get his bait into the water. It’s snapped up in midair, not by a fish but by fellow fishermen!” he added. • “Late last autumn,” Elmer con tinued, “the box lunches provided anglers was so lacking in nourish ment that some fishermen would leap out of a boat and take any bait a fish would take. In fact, when the season ended they were taking arti ficial lures. * “I was on a fairly crowded lake casting for bass in October. I was using a big wooden plug with a red head and white stripes. On my first east two fishermen dove for it!” • Elmer insisted that in another in stance he was using a metal spin ner, and as it went by the end of a dock a fellow angler made two strikes at it. * “Amateur anglers, arise!” de manded Mr. Twitchell. “The pro fessional fisherman ain’t getting a much tougher break than we are. What does the wife put in her hus band’s lunch when he goes fishing these days? A jelly sandwich, six animal crackers, a stale doughnut and a little cold coffee! • “You can’t fish an hour anywhere without getting hungry enough to eat a horse. That’s why farmers never pasture a horse near a trout stream or bass lake. » "In normal times a man setting out for a day’s fishing toted along enough grub to sustain life in a nor mal adult for six weeks. Boy, what sandwiches! Roast beef, lamb, corned beef, pork and what have you! That’s what made fishing en joyable. The average fisherman didn’t care half as much for fishing as he did for wijoying a heavy meal or two without bothering about table manners.” * Elmer began getting up a peti tion to OPA at once. “Spring is here, and the amateur angler is in a bad way,” he said. “Unless he gets a little substantial food in that lunch- box he will be grabbing feather lures!” • • • PRIVATE PCRKEY WANTS A G.I. AT THE PEACE TABLE Dear Harriet: Like I told you some time ago I am working with my pals on a sort of League of G.I. Peace Kibitzers and the thing is getting into shape fast. Of course Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin is handling things okay now at places like Yalta, but is all just expressing intensions and ideas. When the war ends and the peace delegates begin to huddle the real fighting will start and nothing will help to make them stick to their ob- jecktives like maybe some G.I.s at the peace tables. • I don’t see why there should be any opposition to G.I. representation in the peace. If there had been a free for all battle with gangsters in your street and you had to put up a tough fight would anybody tell you to scram under the bed and keep your big mouth shut while the whole question of further trouble was han dled by a group of well-dressed strangers who had cleaner collars and better table manners? • So when a war ends what is about insisting that the G.I.s who has been getting their noggins knocked off all through it just drop everything, put a gag in their mouths and never speak above a whisper while the whole question whether they will have to do it over again is decided by professional peacemakers who never slept in a hole full of ice- water, et their meals in a snowdrift or swum every river in Africa and Europe? • • • Optimism (“All eating and drinking places will be forced by OPA to display posters giving the ceiling price on beers and liquors.”—News item.) • Little posters on the wall You'll quote prices per highball So a man will get a feeling Bar-rooms know about a ceiling. They win quote the priee of beers. Ales and cocktails, it appears. So a man fair play will get When ha’s drinking—wanna betf Fred MacMurray VT OT so long ago some famous ^ ~ Hollywood stars pushed the war news off the front pages with ac counts of their unsavory romantics and knife-and-bottle parties, while solid, high-minded actors went un noticed. This is not why I’m telling you some things about Fred MacMur ray today. I’m writing about Fred because I think this pleasant, self- effacing young American actor, who stands as high in the good opin ion of his employ ers, his cowork- ers, and his friends as any man in the indus try, is a far more interesting char acter than the stars who are tak ing an unfair ad vantage of their fame and money. Fred MacMur ray is the very core of everything that is simple, straightforward, and American. He’s as down-to-earth as applesauce or the boy next door. He’s the sort of fellow every man and woman wants a son to be. He’s got integrity—and try and beat that word when you’re groping for a tag to give the meas ure of a man. A record of 40 top pictures since 1935, when Fred came into motion pictures from the New York stage, is proof to doubters that you can be all these things and roll up big ger box office than the glamour playboys any day. Less than a year ago Twentieth Century signed Fred MacMurray to a long-term contract. They knew they had secured one of the most valuable star properties this industry ever produced. The clear, fresh baritone which won him a nod from Hollywood when he was playing in “Roberta” on Broadway and his slick way with a saxophone are capitalized in “Where Do We Go From Here,” his first for Twentieth. “Double Indemnity,” was the last big release in which he won public approval. Aims to Please On the heels of this singing part, Fred, with typical MacMurray ver satility, embarked on the role he is now shooting, “Captain Eddie,” the story of the famous racing driver, Eddie Rickenbacker. This is the tale of an all-American—a typical product of this democracy, like Fred himself. His third will be “Pardon My Past,” which Fred will produce and star in as well. He is deeply concerned ^yith the “customers” when it comes to mak ing a picture. Other stars refer to the public as “my audience” or "my fans.” To Fred they’ll always be “the customers,” and he’s of the firm belief the customer is always right. His temperament, his art, and his income never stand between him and humanity. The very names that build the framework of his biog raphy are down to earth and all- American: Kankakee, HI., where he was bom, and Beaver Dam, Wis., where he grew up, and Carroll col lege at Waukesha, Wis., where he put the finishing touches on his edu cation. No Silver Platter Like most successful men, Fred helped earn that education. He won the American Legion award for the highest scholastic and athletic rec ord at college. He bought a sax— played it, too, in the American Le gion band. When orchestra jobs were thin Fred was a house-to-house salesman of electrical appliances, a store clerk—anything to keep him and his mother going. 'T dread interviewers, Hedda,” he told me, “because I’m bad copy. I’m just a plain guy. My wife and I and the Ray Millands have lots of fun together just doing the things all the millions of other taxpayers are do ing around these United States. Noth ing whimsical, nothing fancy.” Fred and Lillian have two chil dren—Susan, four, and Robert, one year, both adopted. They want four more and recently bought the Leland Hayward home in Brentwood to make room for the kids. Down to Earth I don’t like to hold forth about my notion of things. Why should my opinions of life, love, death, and taxes be any more interesting than those of any man in the street?” But there’s plenty going on in that head of his. He’s a solid investor. Believes in property, in the land. Owns a ranch near Santa Rosa with purebred stock. He buys good pic tures for his Brentwood home, etch ings and canvases he likes to look at and live with; not meaningless things of vast value to serve as publicity items. • • • Unfair to the Fair Sex The New York theater has two dis tinguished women producers—Mar garet Webster and Antoinette Perry. Paramount has a distinguished woman — or did have — Phyllis Laughton. Mitch Leisen refused to make pictures without her. Paulette Goddard won’t do one without Miss Laughton’s help. Paramount admits she’s wonderful. The only reason they won’t make her a full fledged director is, so I’m told, they’re afraid the men won’t take orders from a lady. Since when, fellows? ■HOI/SgiMM Morale Builder ... Juicy, Colorful Pie (See Recipes Below) Dessert Appeal There are some foods that just naturally make for a good, homey feeling. There’s pie for one. The family likes to see the preparation and then smell the good and fi nally, taste the juicy sweetness qf berries or fruit nestling against a 1 tender, flaky ^ ' crust. Fondness for pie goes back a long way and has not abated even during rationing and shortages of sugar and fruit. It’s a good dessert with which to top off the meal which has been light or a little shy of appetite appeal. Then, too, there are cakes that fill the need for sweetness and cater a bit to the appetite. Fortunately there have been developed recipes which are low in sugar and easy to make. A good pie or cake, baked once a week, will give the family a sense of well being and hominess that is so "important in these days of rush and activity.

Homemade Electric Pig Brooder of Value Simple to Construct And Easy to Operate IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAYI chool Lesson BY HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Of The Moody Bible InsUtute of Chicaco. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for April 8 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International i Council of Religious Education; used by : permission. 'T'HE electric pig brooder is fast becoming popular and profitable on farms where pigs are farrowed in late winter or early spring. The brooder prevents chilling and keeps sows from lying on pigs—the com mon causes of losses. Death losses of early spring pigs were reduced from 34.3 to 16.9 per DXCTMC BROODER SAVES PICS THE BOOK AND THE FAITH LESSON TEXT—Psalm 145:10-17. GOLDEN TEXT—The word of the Lord endureth forever.—I Peter 1:25 cent by the use of electric brood ers in Indiana tests. Electric brooders saved an average of 1V4 more pigs per litter. An electric pig brooder is inexpen sive and easy to make. On many a farm there are enough pieces of lumber to make one or more brood ers. The sketch shows how to make an electric brooder to put in one corner of the farrowing pen. For the first few days use a 150- watt lamp if the weather is ex tremely cold. At the end of a week, a 60-watt bulb may supply enough heat. When pigs are 10 days or two weeks old, heat can be discontinued. It is important to use a rubber- covered shop extension cord com plete with rubber-covered socket. Standard brass shell sockets are not suited to this type of use. It is also important to protect the brooder with a plank nailed across the cor ner, so a nervous sow cannot de stroy it.

S., can be controlled by spraying cattle Power Spray Used. backs with insecticide under pres sure. When the insecticide is sprayed into the grub holes, the grubs fall out and are killed by the insecti cide before they can fall off and re produce heel flies which in turn at tack cattle, laying eggs which turn into grubs. U. S. Farm Leaders ARBOR DAY FATHER J. Sterling Morton, while governor of Nebraska, due to his passion for tree planting, founded Arbor day. When Cleveland returned to the presidency in 1892, he appointed Morton secretary of agriculture. J. Sterling Morton was born in New York and enjoyed the distinction of having been ex pelled from the University of Michigan for his independence. He had located in Nebraska City, where he entered politics and became editor of the Nebraska City News. While secretary of agriculture, he reorganized the division of statistics and set up the division of agrostol ogy to study forage plants. He es tablished the division of publica tions, the office of road inquiry and organized a dairy division. Arbor day is held in Nebraska on April 22, the birthday of J. Sterling Morton, “the Father of Arbor Day.” i. S. Morton DDT Unavailable Now Although DDT, the new marvel in secticide, has proved effective in preventing damage to fruits, cab bage, potato and other crops, it probably will be released for house hold and barn use long before it is available for crop spraying. New experimental work indicates that it is effective when used with certain paints for fly control in bams, houses and other buildings. The available date for general use is uncertain. j Christians are the people of one , book—the Bible. They read and use j other books, but the book is God’s Word, and everything else must be in accord with its teaching. i this blessed Book they find the only revelation of God’s saving grace. Other attributes of God may ] be found in the book of nature, i There we find that God is powerful, I orderly, wise, etc., but nowhere in i nature is it written that God can | save a man from his sin. We find that only in the Bible, God’s written Word as it reveals Jesus Christ the Saviour who is the Living Word. I. The Eternal Glory of God’s Kingdom (w. 10-13). The kingdom of God refers to His reign over all things and beings, but with special reference to those who are willingly subject to Him and eager to live for His glory. Everything in God’s creation is to be lifted up in praise of that king dom. All His works shall praise Him. They reveal Him in part, but even that limited revelation is glori ous. The man who cannot see God in nature is indeed a dull Clod. The heavens declare His glory and the earth shows forth His handiwork (Ps. 19:1). Greater and more precious in God’s sight is the praise of His saints. Dumb ‘adoration is accept able only from a dumb creation. We, His saints, are to speak His praise, to “bless” Him (v. 10). We are to spread abroad among all men (v. 12) the news of God’s greatness and goodness. “His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,” and thus it at once takes its place as so superior to what men call kingdoms as hardly to be men tioned in the same breath. There is no limit to God’s kingdom either in its extent or its duration. How stupid then that some, yes many, foolish men and women set themselves up in rebellion against God. That is the height of all folly and leads only to disaster. How wise are those who yield their lives to j His control that their little span of life may find rich meaning in the One who endures forever. II. The Abandant Provision of God’s Mercy (w. 14-16). We are all completely dependent on the mercies of God for everything that we need for life—physical, men tal, and spiritual. Consider the food for the body. God opens His bountiful hand and every living creature is provided with the food necessary for its sus tenance. How this is accomplished is a mystery and a marvel to us, but God is able to do it. Centuries ago men were fearful that the earth could not produce enough food to keep the increasing population of mankind alive, but God sees to that even when He has to do it in spite of man’s waste and de struction. However, life is not just material. There must be a satisfying of man’s spiritual nature. He needs someone to save him from his own sinful weakness, to deliver him from his sorrow and affliction. Who can do this but God? And He does it (see v. 14). How does He do it? Through the ministry of His Holy Word. There in man finds salvation and satisfac tion. The Bible is the light that shines upon his way. It is his com fort in sorrow and his strength in temptation. It exhorts and encour ages, convicts and cures. How endless and how overflowing is the mercy of our God. Let us “wait upon” Him, knowing that He is not only mindful of our need, but eager to do for us more than we can ask or think. III. The Saving Power of God’s Grace (vv. 17-19). The Lord, who "is nigh unto all them that call upon him” (v. 18), is able to save because He is “right eous in all his ways and holy in ail his works” (v. 17). Only a just and holy God can deal with sin, and yet only a merciful God would pro vide redemptionf but in our God mercy and truth meet (Ps. 115: 1; Ps. 103). He is both “just and the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus” (Rom. 3:26). He it is who is near to all that “call upon him in truth” (v. 18), and surely it is such a calling on the Lord which is in mind in Romans 10:13, where we read that “whoso ever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Notice that God’s nearness, His salvation, and His fulfillment of the desires of man are for those who call on Him and who “fear Him” (v. 19). This is not a matter of magical use of a name, or an out ward profession of faith. It must come from the heart, and when it does, God responds. So we find God’s word to be the source of our instruction concerning those things which can make us wise unto salvation (II Tim. 3:15). It is the Book of our faith! } ASK MS ? ?
