THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. UPhiUipr THE BATTLE OF THE TINKERS “Caltvay, Eire.—The annual finals in the battles for the championship of the Tink ers will be held tonight. The Tinkers art caravans of gypsies. They precede the main bouts by competitions in drinking poteen and boasting, after which the bare-fisl fights begin."—News Item. * The tournament began shortly after 9 p. m. Padriac O’Feeney, a top Tinker, began the boasting. “I kin lick any bucko in the glen with me arms in a sling and me feet in a cast,” he declared, baring his chest. ‘T was niver in bitter shape since the night I kilt the four bullocks with slaps from the palm of me left hand. Bring on me opponint!” “Why the foul-mouthed . . . !!!’* roared Finley Mulligoweneagh, 6 foot 5, and built like the Irish gods of old. “A sissy he is! 'Twas me dium-sized bullocks he kilt an’ it took him five minutes. I could of fin ished all four with the thumb o’ wan hand. Let me at him!” “I could bate the likes of ye fresh off a sickbed and without a drink in me system,” barked O’Feeney. “Did ye iver hear o’ the time I took on the sivin mad stewidores of . . .” • The bell rang for the first round, after two hours of this, and Terry Moolihahn, the referee, called, “come out for your instruckshins!” “Put a more respictful tone to your words,” snapped O’Feeney, glaring at him. “Now I want ye both to come out fightin’,” began the referee. “The likes of ye tellin’ me what you want!” roared Mulligowen eagh, flooring him with one punch. * Numerous referees being always carried as “spares” at the Tinker fights, Garry Finnerty took his place. “Now in case of a knockout,” be gan Finnerty. “In case!” bellowed O’Feeney, gi/ing him the butt. “In case of a knockout? Hear the mon!” ROUND I. Whereupon the two principals tore out of their corners. They had a little trouble finding each other. Finally they met accidentally and fell into a clinch. The referee tried to part them but found he was sep arating two spectators by mistake. ROUND II. O’Feeney fell on his face three times as he came from his comer. His opponent, falling but twice, was the sharper as they got to their feet. Both swung haymakers at the same time and landed on the referee, who was saved by the bell. ROUND III. O’Feeney’s eye had been cut. His seconds had leaped in to put a patch on it, but they put the patch on an innocent bystander in their general uncertainty. The bell for the round failed to sound as the of ficial timekeeper had become en gaged in a brawl of his own. There were 30 or 40 other fights in prog ress all over the glen now. The spec tators began to yell for action. » Here the spectators became dis orderly. Cries of “they’re stallin’ ” and “Throw the sissies out” rang through the fields. • The fight was then stopped as a FAKE. But it took 27 referees to stop it. • » • MORE ABOUT HORSE SHEDS Our recollection of old-time horse sheds at Mansfield Grove, hard by the East Haven river, before the days of trolley cars is shared by Bob Stevenson. “We remember those sheds. We used to hold the annual great family picnic there, with the uncles and the aunts and the cousins and the great- aunts, and the grandmothers and' the grandfathers and heaven only knows how many kids of all sizes and degrees of inevitable addiction to falling off the rocks into the sea, getting lost in the far meadow reaches, or adventuring in some boat to look for pirate treasure, or distant Thimble islands,” writes Bob. “The New Haven members of the clan would roll out in the grandeur of the finest that they could hire at Kirk’s livery, with fringed surreys, red-striped yellow wheels, shining black - enameled dashboards and ribbon-tied whips in flare sockets. "Aunt Eliza made the clam chow der in an iron pot braced on stones over a driftwood fire, enough for the entire picnic. The rest of the food came in large, heavily laden bas kets, traveling under carriage seats. But any further recollections of what we had to eat at those long grove tables would only make us sadder in these days of rationing.” • * • Elmer Twitchell suggests that we let Japan keep the emperor and one end of the horse. Or maybe we should take him off that horse and put him on a mouse. » • • NO DOUBT OF IT. U Hirohito is a god, Then when he passes out He’ll meet two other fellow gods, Adolf and Ben, no douot. If Hirohito is a god Then “Hit and Muss” of course. Will be included in the act Called “Three Men on a Horse.” Released by Western Newspaper Union. By VIRGINIA VALE U NIVERSAL has given us another of those top-notch psychological mysteries, one as good as “The Suspect.” This time it’s “Uncle Harry.” with a star-studded cast — George Sanders, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Ella Raines and Sara Allgood, who nas only to walk across a room to steal the scene from everybody else. GERALDINE FITZGERALD You’ll see superb acting all through .he picture, especially in some of Geraldine Fitzgerald’s scenes. It’s a picture that causes rather violent reactions — people are going to like it tremendously or argue about it !or weeks because they wanted a different ending. And that’s a sure sign that a picture is exceptional; if it isn’t nobody cares how it turns put. Dennis Morgan, star of “Christ mas in Connecticut,” is the only Hollywood star who has worked in pictures under three different names, so far as we know. At Metro he used his own name, Stan ley Morner. At Paramount, Richard Stanley. Warners’ gave him his pres ent name. If you’ve just stubbed your toe on a disappointment, here’s encourage ment for you. Clark Gable lost his first film job because "his ears are too big.” George Brent and Hum phrey Bogart were dropped by con tract holders because they “weren’t convincing in western drama.” And Bette Davis’ name must still em barrass certain executives who let her go “because she has no sex ap- peal.” It looks as if the movie stars can’t resist the restaurant business. Dur ing filming of “Young Widow,” Louis Hayward had an architect make plans for a cafe to be opened when the war ended, and Alan Ladd’s go ing into partnership in a hamburger stand. * Frank Sinatra seems to be set for the next five years in radio. He’s signed a contract for 39 weeks with a cigarette company, with options covering that time. He’ll replace “Which is Which,” for wiuph “De tect and Collect” substituted this summer. He’ll be heard Wednesday nights, on CBS. He says one of the best things about the program is the fact that Mann Holiner will be the producer — thinks Holiner’s the best producer in the business. * The only motion picture footage of the atom smasher, which played an important part in experiments lead ing to the development of the atomic bomb, will be seen in “Mira cle Makers,” a Warner’s short sub ject now ready for immediate re lease. Dr. O. E. Lawrence, who de veloped the cyclotron, as it’s called, was technical adviser on the se quence and appears in the film. Jack Smith, who now has his own show on CBS, joins Bing Crosby, Ginny Simms and all the others who’ve started on the air singing with a trio and graduated to star dom. Jack was in high school when he and two friends landed the job vacated by Bing Crosby’s Rhythm Boys at the Cocoanut Grove. He spends his free time teaching re turned soldiers at the New York School of Artcraft Instruments. m Twentieth Century - Fox’s “The House on 92nd Street,” dealing with the development of the atomic bomb, is based entirely on records of the FBI, showing their work in counter acting enemy agents’ attempts to ob tain the secret. It was made secret ly in New York, Washington and other locales, and sequences deal ing directly with the bomb were omitted till after it had been used in Japan. * ODDS AND ENDS—Guest ghosts galore will haunt “Inner Sanctum,” now back again, on CBS, with Paul McGrath as Your Host, . . . Jane Wyman liked that leopard coat she wears in “The Lost Weekend? so much that she had a duplicate made for her own wardrobe.... Many of the servicemen now in hospitals are learning the inside stories of actions they participated in, by listening to Dan Seymour’s “Now It Can Be Told? series. . . . Bing Crosby sings 22 tongs in Irving Berlin’s “Blue Skies”—a treat for Crosby fans, who won’t be hear ing him weekly if he carries out his threat to abandon those Thursday night broad casts. SERVICE EDITOR'S NOTE: This newspaper, through special arrangement with the Washington Bureau of Western Newspaper Union at 1616 Eye Street, N. W., Washing ton, D. C., is able to bring readers this weekly column on problems of the veteran and serviceman and his family. Questions may be addressed to the above Bureau and they will be answered in a subsequent column. No replies can be made direct by mail, but only in the column which will appear in this newspaper regularly. Employment of Handicapped Both as an inducement for indus try to hire handicapped veterans and a protection to both industry and the veteran, 28 state legislatures have now enacted second-injury- fund statutes which, in general, re quire employers to pay workmen’s compensation only for specific sec ond injuries. The fund pays the additional costs of permanent total disability result ing from the loss of a hand, arm, foot, leg or eye, following a previ ous loss of one of these members or organs. The fund is usually financed by payments of fixed amounts by an employer or his insurance com pany in the case of death of an employee having no dependents. Freed from the fear of heavy per manent total disability charges in these cases, employers are much more willing to employ handicapped workers. According to records submitted by the department of labor, the cost of maintaining second injury funds is small, for recent studies show han dicapped workers are actually more careful than normal employees and have a lower accident frequency. Employers had been reluctant to hire these handicapped veterans lest they suffer second injuries, become permanently and totally disabled and cost employers increased work men’s compensation charges. States which have established these second injury funds include Arkansas, Idaho, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minne sota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington and Wyoming. Wiscon sin, North Dakota, Ohio and West Virginia have equivalent arrange ments while California, Connecticut and Pennsylvania have such legisla tion pending. • * • Questions and Answers Q.—Can the mother of an illegiti mate child file an application for family allowance, if a soldier is the father? A.—Yes, the mother may file ap plication for the child, but she must either have a court order declaring the soldier to be the child’s father, or she must have a statement from the soldier admitting parenthood. She must also have a certified copy of the child’s birth record. The mother herself is not entitled to fam ily allowance. Q.—Can a dishonorable discharge be changed to an honorable one? A.—A former officer or enlisted man or woman may request a re hearing or a review of his case be fore a five-member board in the war and navy departments. The dis charge may be corrected in accord ance with the facts. However, these boards may not change the sentence of a court martial. Q.—Is there an artificial hand available that looks like a hand, and different from the ordinary “hooks” which are most common? A.—Yes, the navy has developed an artificial hand, made of plastic, that looks like a hand and elimi nates the necessity of wearing gloves. It has the consistency of pure rubber and is tinted to match the individual skin. It is operated by a one-pound cam mechanism hid den inside the hand, spring con trolled and made of duralumin and permits natural movement of the fingers. Mechanism is operated by a tiny cord running up the arm and around the shoulders, controlled by action of the shoulder muscles. Q.—I was in the regular army be fore the war and was discharged due to injury it December, 1940. I have since been working in a war plant and I have a pretty good business opportunity. Do I come under the G.I. Bill of Rights or have I waited too long after my discharge to apply for benefits? A.—As long as some of your serv ice was after September 16, 1940, you are eligible for G.I. benefits. As suming you had other than a dis honorable discharge, you may still apply for benefits, since the law re quires they must be claimed and secured within two years after dis charge, or the end of the war, which ever is later. Q.—When a soldier’s wife receives maternity care under the EMIC gov ernment plan, must the application be filed with the Soldier’s Relief for payment from the war department? A.—No, the application should be filed with the state health depart ment, through the personal physi cian or the hospital. Q.—May a young man marry while he is a cadet in the U. S. Coast Guard Academy? A.—The navy department says that cadets are not permitted t« marry until they have graduated from the coast guard academy. Boys Will Welcome This Cake Overseas! (See Recipes Below) Send It Overseas! tiy; and sailors tioned overseas It won’t be long now before you can start those Christmas presents on their way to the soldiers over seas. Of course, you can send baked goods at any time to the boys in camp here in this coun- and marines sta- can also receive packages at any time. For your local service centers, you can bake luscious, frosted cakes, but you will have to reserve cakes that will pack well and travel easily for “over there.” It has been found that cakes with fruits and nuts stay fresh longer than plainer ones. Use frosting that doesn’t rub off easily or crack if you are sending the cake to some camp in this coun try. For overseas, it’s best to send unfrosted cakes. The use of cake flour will give a cake fine grain, and such a cake will not crumble easily during shipment. And do pack both cakes and cookies as tightly and securely as you can to assure their arriving in the best possible condition. Here are some of the nominations for cakes and cookies that pack well and travel easily. The first is an easily mixed fudge type cake: Fudge Nut Cake. 2 cups sifted cake flour 1 teaspoon soda % teaspoon salt % cup vegetable shortening Hi cups milk 1 teaspoon vanilla U4 cups brown sugar, firmly packed 2 eggs, unbeaten 3 squares unsweetened choco late, melted over boiling water 1 cup coarsely chopped nuts Sift flour once, measure into a sifter with soda and salt. Have shortening at room temperature, mix or stir to soften. Sift in dry ingredients. Add brown sugar, forc ing through a sieve to remove lumps, if neces sary. Add % cup milk, vanilla and eggs. Mix until all the flour is dampened, then beat 1 minute. Add remaining milk and blend. Add melted chocolate and beat 2 minutes longer. Fold in nuts. (Count only actual beating time or strokes.) Allow at least 100 strokes to the minute. Scrape bowl and spoon often. Turn into a greased (13x9x2 inch) pan which has been greased lined on the bot tom with waxed paper and greased again. Sake in a moderate (375- degree) oven for 35 minutes or un til done. Another good, substantial cake with the flavor of orange, honey and nuts is also a good choice for over seas shipping: Lynn Says Try These Tips: Transform yesterday’s roast into a scalloped casserole, a quick stew, Shep herd’s pie or hash. Bits of cheese and eggs and vegetables can be ground up, mixed with mayonnaise or sal ad dressing to make delicious sandwich fillings. Leftover vegetables are also welcome in soups. Or, add them to meat loaves or mold in gela tin salads. Leftover sandwiches can be toasted to add new, delightful fla vor to them. Call them toast- wiches. Several kinds of leftover canned or fresh fruit can be a topping for upside-down cake. Dried out cake and cookies can be used for bread pudding. Leftover rice makes de luxe waffles or griddle cakes.

Conservation of natural resources —that phrase has a modem touch to it, and yet we would do well to turn back to the story of Joseph in Egypt and learn anew the importance of not wasting what we have if we are to be fed in the days of shortage. Certain it is that we should face at once the shameful record of waste in the manufacture and sale af intoxicants. This is temperance Sunday. Let us not fail to stress this truth. Joseph recognized the provision of God and made use of it for His glory and the good of the people. I. Food—God’s Provision (w. 46- 19). As men work with God in tne cul tivation of the land they are apt to begin to think of themselves as producers, when they are actually only the servants of the Lord in the orderly care of that which He pro- | vides. We need to renew our sense of complete dependence upon God lest I we become proud of our own sup posed attainments and forget Him. Then He will have to withhold His bountiful hand and we shall stand with empty measures. Remember, too, that what God has given to feed the nations cannot with impunity be used for the manu facture of intoxicating beverages which are designed and used for no good purpose—only for destruction. Let’s not forget that God could send us a famine, too! The manner in which Joseph cared for the gathering of the grain is worth noting. He did not sit in his royal office and send out an edict. He went throughout the land build ing storehouses, seeing that the grain was properly conserved. We need more of that personal touch in government. Too much of life is controlled by “directives” and “rules” with too little of the touch of human kindness and a personal knowledge of the needs of the peo ple. Observe also the wisdom of stor ing the food in the place where it was raised and where it would eventually be needed. No shipping and re-shipping, no undue centraliza tion, and no temptation to form a special “grain bureaucracy.” II. Family—God’s Gift (w. 50-52). From among the Gentiles, Joseph took himself a bride. While it is not indicated, we have reason to as sume that she was a believer in the true God. One cannot imagine a man of Joseph’s character and spir itual integrity marrying an unbe liever. The sons which came into the home were recognized as God’s' gift. Note how God was counted into the life of these boys and of the home. We spoke above about the need of conserving grain. Think now of the infinitely more important con servation of boys and girls. The liquor interests have used this- war to create a taste for beer on the part of millions of young men and women, both in the armed serv ices and in our war plants. They have broken down the objections and the religious principles of many and we are almost at the point where one who objects is regarded as a foolish fanatic. If America cannot with impunity use her grain to make booze, do you think God will hold us guiltless if we stand idly by and let the rapacious breweries and distilleries take our boys and girls? It is high time that we awakened to our re sponsibility and stood up for our con victions, come what may! HI. Famine — God’s Opportunity (vv. 53-57). Now the time had come when God’s word to Joseph was proved to be true. When His loyal servant stood before the world as the one who was in touch with the infinite One, he had the food to give out because he had obeyed God’s com mand. It is in the crises of life that the things of God prove themselves. When man’s hand drops in weak ness and despair, God steps in and does the abundant thing; that is, if we are willing to recognize Him. There is another sense in which the coming of famine was God’s op portunity, for it gave Him the chance He wanted to speak to men. In the days of plenty and prosperity mankind is self-sufficient and too busy to listen to God, but when there is no food to eat, he has time to hear God. One wonders, with a wonder that is almost agonizing at times, wheth er America is going to force God to bring hunger of body to her children in order to make their hearts hun ger for Him. Will we wait to cry out to God until we have felt the sharp pangs of hunger, or will we by our obedience and gratitude oi heart encourage Him to continue His abundance toward us?
