m THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. HENRY BAILING OUT Henry Ford is leaping out of the airplane after the war, with or with out a parachute. • He wants no part of winged Mer cury in the postwar world, and will turn him in for good old Lizzie. « The great Willow Run factory that is turning one bomber out ev ery hour will get back to earth and spawn flivvers at the first oppor tunity, Henry announces. He expects to sell a million cars a year, and he sees longer lines in front of the Ford salesrooms than there are in front of “Oklahoma!” * As Hank sees it, the people are craving to leap from battles to rat tles. They are yearning for the time when the word ‘‘objective” will again mean a hotdog stand at the seaside, when a spearhead will be just a point in a traffic jam, and when all communiques will read: "We made broad advances on all approaches to the bathing beach this morning.” , Ford has been a miracle man in the bomber business, but his heart belongs to Lizzie. • His one desire is to get back to a vehicle that drops nothing bigger than a nut, ruins nothing but an enemy fender and has but one tar get: life, liberty and the pursuit of detours. • • • Hen was never happy watching those bombers roll off his production lines. They lacked the family touch, the defective headlight and the op tional upholstery. He was a dejected figure as he looked at a Ford prod uct which allowed for no back-seat driving, no loose door handles and no complaints about the windshield wiper. • Henry pioneered the auto in order to give man more pleasure, wider travel and an opportunity for nerv ous breakdowns over a greater expanse of territory. He never thought any vehicle of his would destroy cities and lick master races. • He pines for the end of the war and the return of the day when the question of the hour will be "has mother packed the lunch for the trip to Lake PolliwOgf” and not “What’s the target for tonight?” « And when the only briefing will be “Keep her down to 4S an hour.” • His idea of a great picture is that of John Smith, Mrs. Smith, the Smith kids and Rover all jammed into the touring car, their faces agleam, their hearts high, with no hatred for anybody except a motor cycle cop, and no desire to kill anybody except the inventor of the red light. • We’re with you. Hank. Down with the bombers! Long live Lizzie! • • • MCGOOFEY'S FIRST READER Q.—Oh, see the towel! A.—The towel has seen better days. Q.—Yes, it looks more like a floor mop. • Q.—Where Is the towel? A.—It is on the counter in many a soda fountain, lunch counter or milk bar. Q.—What Is the towel there for? A.—To keep the counter clean and sanitary. Q.—Are you kidding? A.—No, but the board of healtb must be. m Q.—Who is this? A.—This is John Q. Public. Q.—He looks sick. A.—He IS sick. Q.—What is the matter with him? Oh, why is he in such condition? A.—Those soda fountain, milk bar and lunch room towels have a lot to do with it. Q.—Why doesn’t he complain? A.—He did. Q.—What happened? i A.—The attendant asked if he didn’t know there was a war on. • Q.—Who is this? A.—This is an attendant. Q.—How can you tell? A.—By the dirty apron and dirty towel. Q.—What is that spot where he Is washing the glasses? A.—That is dirty water. Q.—Isn’t there a health law on that, tpo? A.—Aw, stop kiddin’, will ya? • • • Prof. Morton C. Kahn of Cornell has discovered that mosquitoes have love songs. Each species has its dis tinct torch number, he declares. We suppose favorite skeeter songs are “Everytime We Say Good Bite,” and “Sting for Your Supper.” • • • DO YOU KNOW HER? The dame who gets me incoherent Is the smug and doting parent Whose own child is a plaster saint While other children . .. well, just ain't. Joan D’Arcy O’Sullivan.

Simplicity Is the Keynote for Entertaining (See Recipes Below) Tricks for the Hostess No smart woman need be in a dilemma when it’s time for her to entertain. It takes more than ration- ing and food shortages to do that. Indeed, if you don’t breathe a word about how difficult it was to get it together, your friends will think you are giving them a glimpse 3l prewar entertaining. You can stretch the precious meat with a supporting cast of vegetables, (f you’re serving nonrationed eggs, gild them with a bit of cheese and 30 one will dream that you had to io some fancy extending. What about sugar? Well, there are syrups, point-free prepared pud dings and molasses. No, there need ae no difficulties; dress up your dishes and carry on. Entertaining is fun, but that means fun not only for the guests out for the hostess. It’s all up to you whether the party’s going to be pleasant for you or not. Gather your point-easy recipes, plan accordingly and I’m sure it will all come out all right. Let’s pretend your guests are coming in for an evening of conver sation and a bit of food later on. You’ll want a good beverage or cool drink and with that an unusual cake. Here is one made to order for the occasion: *Frune Cake. S cops sifted cake floor I cop sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder Vi teaspoon soda Vi teaspoon salt Vi teaspoon cinnamon Vt teaspoon each, ground cloves, nutmeg, allspice Vi cup lard 2 eggs 1 cup prunes, cooked without sugar Vi cup milk Sift together all dry ingredients. Blend about Vi of the mixture with the lard until soft and fluffy. Add unbeaten eggs and beat light. Cut prunes into small pieces and sprin kle with 2 tablespoons of the dry mixture. Add remaining dry ingre dients to creamed mixture together with Vi cup of the milk. Stir smooth. Add remaining milk and prune mix ture and then pour into greased lay er pans. Bake in a moderate (350- degree) oven until done, 25 to 30 minutes. This cake is good with a mocha or lemon icing. Delicately spiced cookies are good to have in the cookie box because they’re easy to fall back on when the crowd comes in for refresh ments: Maple Nut Balls. Vi cup lard Vi cup brown sugar Vi teaspoon salt Lynn Chambers’ Point-Saving Menus Creamed Deviled Eggs over Crisp Noodles Buttered Peas and Celery Apricot Cottage Cheese Salad Whole Wheat Bread Spread •Prune Cake Beverage •Recipe given. Lynn Says: Quick Tips: To make a novel dinner or luncheon dish, broil slices of bologna from which casings have been removed. Then fill the cups with creamed potatoes and onions or any oth er creamed vegetable. When making hamburgers for a crowd, wrap each individually in waxed paper. The rounds may be cut with a cookie cutter to make them an even size. When making scalloped pota toes, prepare a complete main dish by placing slices of dried beef in between the sliced pota toes. Combine mashed sweet pota toes and cooked, crumbled pork sausage meat in a casserole. A topping of freshly sliced pears or apples sprinkled with brown sugar makes this a big favorite. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 min utes. Liver is delicious when mari nated (soaked) in French dress ing before broiling or frying. Vi cup sour milk or buttermilk 1 teaspoon soda 1 teaspoon ginger 1 cup molasses 2V4 cups flour (about) Cream lard, sugar and salt togeth er. Add sour milk in which soda has been dis solved. Add gin ger and molasses and enough flour to make dough that is not sticky. Shape into small balls and bake on oiled pans at 375 degrees. While still hot, press the flat sides together and roll in maple-flavored icing, made with confectioners’ sugar. Roll in finely chopped nuts. It takes 10 to 12 min utes to bake cookie balls. Oatmeal-Mincemeat Cookies. (Makes 2Vi dozen cookies) IVi cups sifted flour V4 teaspoon baking soda Vi teaspoon salt Vi cup shortening Vi eup light brown sugar, firmly packed 1 eup oatmeal, uncooked Vi eup chopped mtmeats 1 cup mincemeat Sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Cream the shortening, add the brown sugar, then egg and beat until light and fluffy. Last fold in oatmeal, nutmeats and mincemeat, blending well. Add flour mixture and stir until all flour disappears. Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake in a moderately hot (375-degree) oven for 12 to 15 minutes. As main dishes for luncheons or suppers, I’m suggesting two fish dishes which will be substantial enough even if there are hearty ap petites present. They can both be as pretty as a picture to please the ladies: Shrimp Curry in Rice Ring. (Serves 6) 3 tablespoons butter or fat 4 tablespoons flour 2 cups shrimp, fresh, cooked, cleaned Milk 2 teaspoons curry powder 4 cups cooked rice Vi cup dark corn syrup Melt butter or fat; blend in flour. Gradually add milk to flour mixture, enough to make about 2 cups sauce. Cook, stir ring constantly until thickened. Place over hot water, add shrimp. Add cur ry which has been mixed with a little water. Combine rice with dark com syrup and pack firmly in a quart mold. Set in a pan of water and bake in a moderate oven for 20 minutes. To serve, unmold rice ring and fill center with shrimp mixture. Salmon Loaf. (Serves 4 to 6) 2 cups steamed salmon, flanked Vi cup bread crumbs Vi cup milk 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon butter, melted To flaked salmon, add other in gredients in order given. Grease loaf pan and line with cut sweet pickle slices. Pack salmon mixture into this. Set in a shallow pan containing water. Bake in a moderate oven (375 degrees) about 1 hour or until loaf is firm. Unmold onto hot plat ter and garnish with parsley and stuffed olives or pickle fans. Released by Western Newspaper Union. SETTLEMENT AND STRUGGLES IN CANAAN LESSON TEXT—Judges 2:6. 7, 11. 12. 18. IS; 6:11-18. GOLDEN TEXT—Be ftrong and of a good courage: be not afrlad. neither be thou dismayed; lor the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.— Joshua 1:9. God keeps his promises. Israel found that to be true as He brought them into the promised land of Canaan. Those who rebelled against Him had died in the wilderness, but aow a new generation had come into possession of the land. Here they met the challenge of the heathen, and were victorious over them as they trusted the Lord. Joshua, their leader, after faithful services was ready to go to be with the Lord, but before doing sc, re minded them of God’s promise and of the danger of unbelief and sin. As our lesson opens, we find the people settled in the land, as far as they had taken it. We find: I. God’s Promise Fulfilled (2:6) The Lord had promised the land to them as they went in and pos sessed it by faith in Him. He fully kept that promise in the meas ure that they believed Him. They never did take the whole land, but that was because of their failure, not God’s. The story speaks to us. God has provided a rich inheritance for the believer in Christ, but h must be appropriated by faith. How much have we taken out of the riches we have in Christ? We are also reminded of the ab solute faithfulness of God. There is little in this world in which we may repose complete confidence, but we may and should trust God. He has never faffed anyone, and He will not fail ns. II. Man’s Promise Broken (2:7, II, 12). The people had solemnly prom ised to keep God’s commandments (see last week’s lesson). That prom ise they had renewed in response to Joshua’s farewell challenge (see Josh. 24:20, 21). They kept their word only as long as those who remembered Joshua were alive, and then they “forsook the Lord." This fall of Israel has its counter part in what is taking place in our land today. The great mass of de cent people in America were reared in Christian homes. They know what is right, and they live on the spir itual and moral momentum re ceived from their godly parents. The next generation now com ing into power, without the bene fit of spiritual training in the home and church, are forsaking the Lord and following other gods, the gods of pleasure, of money, of lust. III. God’s Plan of Deliverance (2:18, 19). One would have thought that God would give up a people so set on sinning, but He did not. He pro vided deliverance for IsraeL That gives us courage, for we know that He has not given us up, but bas provided in Christ a sure deliver ance—if America will but turn to Him. For Israel’s deliverance God pro vided judges, who- were not only judicial, but, in fact, primarily ad ministrative in their work. They were God’s men to call Israel back to Him. The repeated failure and backsliding of Israel brought new acts of mercy on God’s part in calling out new judges. It is interesting to note that God works through men. Some of these judges were great men. Others were just ordinary men. But each in his appointed place, at the ap pointed time, was God’s man. God is looking for men today who will serve Him. He wants bril liant, capable men, but He also calls the ordinary, everyday vari ety, and as they are faithful. He blesses them. Has He called you? Have you responded? IV. God’s Presence and Power (6:11-16). Israel had long been under the op pression of the Midianites, who would sweep over the land and steal their crops and their flocks. Israel finally turned to God for help, and He met their need by calling Gideon as the filth of the judges. God knows better than to call an idle man, one who is sitting around waiting for opportunity to knock. He seeks out toe busy person and gives him more to do. Note the entirely adequate pro vision made for Gideon’s success. “Surely I will be with thee.” That means both the presence and the power of the eternal and omnipo tent One. Gideon at once began the tear ing down of the heathen places of worship in his own community. It was the hardest place to start. It always is. But the one whose light is to shine afar must see that it shines brightest at home. The humility of Gideon as ht looked at himself (v. 15) is com mendable. But note that he did not permit it to shut the door oi faith, as he believed God and did mighty exploits for Him. Don’t trusi yourself, but do trust God! Something New Has Happened—- It’s ‘Big V Little Prints’ Mode By CHERIE NICHOLAS A NEW fashion ** in prints came into being this spring. It’s really a new branch on the family tree of mother - and - daughter or big - and- little sister fashions. The idea is, toe print design produced for mother or big sister is reproduced in minia ture to tune to little daughter or little sister age. This print innovation is so very new, so gay and so obvious the wonder is that no one thought of it before. The theme of big-’n-little prints is developing into much more than a mom and chile proposition in that it is making a tremendous hit for adult play clothes and daytime dresses. The idea of a large print plus a print scaled down to right proportion for children offers end less possibilities to creative genius. The fashion-wise girl with imagi nation will use the small print for her dress, making the most stun ning accessories out of the big print that fancy can picture. She’ll try a blouse in little and a skirt in big print. When mother turns out a frock for herself and a miniature dupli cate for her child, she will do well to make them of the big and little doughnut print trimmed with gay ric-rac braid as shown in the fore ground of the illustration. The patternings of these new re lated prints are as gay and out of the beaten path as the big-and- little idea itself. The doughnut print is a favorite, and a bright-hued Dutch tile motif in the two sizes is charming, as is also the floral that patterns calico daisies in two sizes. Speaking of prints in general, the story they have to tell this sea son is as exciting as it can be. The entire fashion world Is intrigued with the remarkable “conversation prints” that take just any theme, be it a ball of yarn, a safety pin os a prancing horse that goes through all its antics in print on a colorful back ground handling the patterning so designfully and artfully it turns out to be a work of art that delights the eye. When it comes to the new florals, the story of prints deals with the theme in breathtaking new slants. There is, for instance, a superb print shown which splashes large white- flowers with green leaves widely spaced on a navy blue satin back ground. Another beautiful print spaces enormous California poppies, entirely realistic in color. Coming trends in prints herald dark grounds for both day and eve ning wear. The smartest types are widely spaced. Satin prints with widely spaced motifs are last word news. There are many styling details that make as big news as the prints themselves. One of the late features is the side drape and side-fasten that is executed in original ways. Many of the side drapes that end in a cascade of ruffles have the edges finished off with sawtooth scalloping, with a like treatment edging the sleeves. Such- clever things are done as seen in the dress at black - on - white background polka dots, the dots rather widely spaced so that the impression is mostly white. The gown- is very youthfully and simply styled, a dash of color supplied in a bright red pir>- ing that finishes off all edges. The big color sensation in current prints is the combination of pink with black. When topped with a dainty pink-flower hat and pink gloves or other accessories, the costume re solves itself into a picture of sweet femininity. Beleaaed by Western Newspaper Union. With Print Accents Pretty as a picture is this 1945 spring suit - costume. Teen - age seamstresses will discover that it’s sound budget strategy and smart fashion sense to dust off the sewing machine and start stitching away to make this costume a reality for your very own self. The big highlight for this costume is the accessories of gay print. You can get fabric- covered buttons made in short or der at your local sewing center’s no tion counter. A final touch of polka dot bow and matching dressmaker handbag will make your costume & standout wherever you wear it. Filmy White Hats Are ‘A Dream Come True’ There’s a white hat vogue on, the like of which has seldom if ever been equalled in the annals of milli nery history. The white hat of to day is like a dream come true. There is an ethereal beauty about a lovely confection that is made of yards and yards of filmy illusive sheers pr chiffon veiling or dainty ruched net or fine horsehair braid. In these sheers, billowed about the crown nestle white roses or some smaller white posies. Or perhaps one discovers the flutter of a ribbon or two from within the filmy mass. Then there are the little “lovely lady” hats fashioned of wee blos soms such as lilies-of-the-valley, tiny hyacinths, stephanotis and other diminutive snow-white flowers. Con trasting the little flowers, there are dramatic confections that pose three enormous white roses firmly an chored to a disc of fine white straw. There’s charm aplenty also in the immaculate white hats fash ioned in versatile and intriguing ways of starched pique or eyelet embroidery. They are the coming vogue for the spring and summer. Capelet Dress Attuned To Spring and Summer The more you see of cape dresses and suits the more you admire them. The latest models are so daintily fashioned they will be wearable right through spring and summer to fall. The type you’ll love best is the rayon crepe dress with print top. This has a matching capelet that comes just to the elbow. The print top has a neat collar band of self print with a huge soft bow at the front that falls out over the cape in an attractive manner.
