THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. Might This Thing Be Called Emancipation? An officer who had been through the North African campaign made the remark that this war had made quite a difference to the posi tion of Arab women there. “For centuries,” he said, “when an Arab family was on the move, the man rode the donkey and the woman walked patiently behind him, carrying the luggage. But when our troops got going there was a big change. True, the man still rode the donkey—but the woman walked in front.” “So our boys taught them that it was ‘ladies first’?” he was asked. “Well, I don’t know. She walked in front because there might be land mines.” SNAPPY FACTS ABOUT RUBBER RacMt government te«t» demonstrated that synthetic truck tires shew slower wear and less tread-cracking when operating at night than dur ing daytime service.

The GROVE LABORATORIES, INC. ST. LOUIS 3, MISSOURI Makers of GROVE S COLD TABLEl* MOVIE PRICE CEILINGS Elmer Twitchell is behind Chester Bowles to some extent in his demand for ceilings on admissions to the movie houses, but, on the other hand, he says the 38 per cent rise cited by Chester isn’t so high. “Think of all the food you see in the movies these days!” he exclaims. • “When yon see for so little dough all that meat, poultry, fish, and so forth in the big dinner scenes in so many pictures today,” he contin ued, “you’re getting a bargain.” • We agree with Mr. Twitchell. Only yesterday we saw a movie in which there was a big dining room scene where 30 people sat down and had a 15-course dinner. We never saw so many sides of roast beef, loins of pork, whole hams and entire suck ling pigs being lugged back and forth by waiters. We told Elmer about it. » “I saw that one, too,” he declared. "They had pitchers of cream and even butter. The butter, mind you, was in technicolor. And no points!” • “I hadn’t had a square meal in days,” he went on, “but I came away from that pictnre with a feel ing I had put on about ten pounds. I even had a touch of indigestion. I think the picture cost me ninety cents to get in, bat I saw at least a thousand dollars worth of meat.” » Mr. Twitchell had one complaint. He said he thought that in movie houses where banquet scenes are be ing shown, the management should provide the customers with napkins. • Mr. Twitchell said that in all the big eating scenes he had noticed this season he had never yet heard any character mention points, either. D “Of course,” he added, “in the case of movies without dinner scenes something should be done to lower prices. I think a customer has a right to ask at the box office wheth er any food is shown in the feature picture, and if so how much. If none is shown or it’s just a breakfast scene he should be let in for 25 per cent less.” • Mr. Bowles also wants regular theater prices cut. He has some thing there. To see a Broadway show yon now have to pay as much as yon would have to pay for the down payment on a pair of shoes, 50 loaves of bread, a week’s room rent or a half interest in a steak, e • e “At present theater prices,” said Elmer, “the theater should throw in a package of cigarettes, a club sand wich and a chance on a turkey.” (Note: You already get the chance on the turkey.)

She’d had two years of hard work and heartbreak at Paramount and never a chance to show what she could do. “But I got fine training there,” she says. “Singing lessons, lessons in acting, all that sort of thing.” Lessons weren’t new to her; she’d been YVONNE DeCARLO studying ballet dancing since she was nine. But the ballet work came in handy for “Salome”—so did everything else she’d learned.

A rwdwm IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAYI chool Lesson Bv HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for April 22 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. THE FOUNDING OF THE NATION LESSON TEXT—Exodus 18:19-24; 19:3-8. GOLDEN TEXT—Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people. —Proverbs 14:34. God has a purpose for the lives of men and of nations. Happy are those who seek His guidance so that their lives may be directed in right and useful channels. God’s threefold purpose for Israel, which we noted in our lesson of last week, could only be worked out in a nation which was separated unto Him, following holiness in its life and service. Moses, one of the greatest and most able figures of all history, was God’s appointed leader. His success is explained by his willingness to fol low God’s leading. He sought: I. God’s Counsel (18:19). Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses. having observed how he was bur dened constantly by the affairs of the people, came to offer him ad vice. He started in the right place, by urging Moses to continue to seek God, yes, to spend even more time in the Lord’s presence, asking His wisdom and guidance. No man can lead a people in the right way if he does not have his own life in constant touch with the throne of God. Much of the failure of our day centers right there. We talk much to other men about our national and international problems. There are multiplied meetings and conferences. They do have value, but very little, unless there is a seeking of God’s will. A day of national repentance and prayer would do more for us than many weeks of discussion and de bate. We need to seek God’s coun sel. Note that the coming of Moses to God concerned the daily affairs of his people. That reminds us that not only the life of our nation, but that of our own homes—and our personal beings—all need God’s counsel. To aid Moses in administering the affairs of the nation, Jethro recom mended the appointment of men who were to serve as: II. God’s Counselors (18:20-24). There has been not a little criti cism of Moses for accepting this ad vice. It is pointed out that when God puts heavy burdens on us, the way out is not to shift the load on someone else, but to seek God’s spe cial grace to bear it and to do it acceptably. There is value in such an interpre tation; but when one considers the devout and careful approach of Jeth ro to the matter (w. 9-12) and his evident desire to glorify God in it all, there is ground for believing that he was giving Moses good advice. The great unorganized host of pos sibly two million people were going through a very difficult experience. The result was dissension and strife, often over trivial things, which need ed to be settled. For all this to come to Moses seemed undesirable; there fore other men were chosen to be counselors to the people, inter preting for them the law and the will of God. While each of us should carry every God-given responsibility with gladness, that does not mean that we are to assume that only we are able to do things. There is no more tragic figure than the pastor or church officer who tries to do every thing. Why not put others to work? How can our young people and new converts ever find a place of service if older Christians hold on to every job in the church? Let us train them; then trust them with real re sponsibility. Counsel, encourage, pray, direct if need be, but do not try to do it all yourself! Now we come to the solemn and crucial moment when God was ready to establish His people and they v/ere ready to accept: III. God’s Covenant (19:3-8). In the sacred and awe-inspiring meeting place before Mount Sinai, where the Lord was to give them j His law (Exod. 20), they made a sol- emn covenant with God. In preparation for it He reminded them of what He had done for them in the past. God is the unchanging One. If He was tender and gracious toward them in the past, they could enter the future confident of His blessing. And so may we! Note verses 5 and 6, for they give us God’s great purpose for Israel. All they had to do was to obey His voice by keeping His covenant. This they, in solemn assembly, agreed to do (v. 8). How different their his tory—and that of the world—would have been had they kept their prom ise. We lament their failure, but what about us who are so highly favored that we have Christ in our midst? Are we obedient? Following the making of the cove nant (which God will one day fulfill in spite of their failure), we have the giving of the Ten Command ments, and the establishment of Is rael’s ’nter of worship in the tab- ernacie. It was the dwelling place of God among His people. How precious!
