THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. Showing Something New, Something Old IF YOU are wisely furnishing 1 your dream home a little at a time while you hold on to your war bonds, here is a word of cheer. The things that you improvise to use while you are acquiring per manent furnishings may have lines as good, colors as fresh, and details as smart as your most ex pensive new pieces. A few deft touches will make them inconspic uous and harmonious. The love seat, from BOOK 5 of the series of homemaking booklets offered with these articles, proves this point. The sketch shows how a simple frame was built to fit an old car seat which had been filled out with extra padding. Covering was chosen to match an upholstered chair on the other side of the fireplace. There are more than 30 of these homemaking ideas illustrated in this booklet. • • • NOTE—A copy of BOOK 5 may be ob tained by sending 15 cents with name and address direct to: MRS.

Name — Address- Seemed the Ultimate in Landlubber’s Paradise A group of bluejackets were dis cussing their dislike for ships, boats and all bodies of water, salt or -resh. They spoke of their per sonal postwar plans, and each tried to outdo the others in his vows to obliterate every vestige of the navy from memory. At last one boy voiced a plan that seemed to top them all. “After the war I’m going to put a pair of oars on my shoulder and start walking inland,” he said, “And the first place I come to where people ask, ‘What are those things?’—that’s where I’m going to live!” SNAPPY FACTS RUBBER The 24 million American passen ger automobiles that survived the war need 50 million new tires, ac cording to Government estimates. New passenger tires will con tinue to be all-synthetic for some time to come. It takes 450 rubber trees and two men a year, working full time, to produce a ton of natural rubber. The work of inscribing names on headstones has been made easier by development of a rubber sandblast stencil sheet. The first commercial application of B. F.

His brilliant career came to an end on March 31, 1931, over 14 years ago, when they picked his broken body out of a wrecked plane in the midwest. The name is Knute Rockne. I know the lasting influence that such men as Yost, Zuppke, Haughton, Grange, Bierman, Little and many others have had. I know what these men, and others, have meant to foot ball. But I still say Rockne. Starting as head coach back in 1917 when Notre Dame was well down the football list, Rockne in the next 14 years made Notre Dame the synonym for football greatness, from Los Angeles to New York _and Balti more—from Chicago to Atlanta. Fac ing a killing schedule of 10 games year after year, his winning record was a phenomenal thing. But Rockne’s winning record was only a small part of the job he did. Almost from the start he gave his squads the finest spirit, year after year, that I have seen. It wasn’t so much a matter of gameness, which most football players have. It was a matter of keeness, alertness, smart ness, condition and love of the game. He gave his men a brand of sports manship that has never been ques- tioned. An Inspiration I have never seen a Notre Dame player under Rockne’s reign who was not in superb physical condition, barring only those injured in play or practice. He had fine material as a rule, but a good part of this was due to the fact that many bud ding stars wanted to come to Notre Dame and play under the baldheaded Norwegian. Strictly as a football coach on the technical side, it would be difficult to rank Rockne above such men as Pop Warner, Hurry-up Yost, Percy Haughton, Bernie Bierman and oth ers who had exceptional coaching careers in their various primes. Rockne was a fine coach, bat hard ly the greatest. It was the inspira tional side, his complete control of the squad on and off the field, that took him to the front. The bark of his voice had a lift to it that caught and held attention. I recall the night before an Army- Notre Dame game in New York. Army’s scout for Notre Dame games filed this report to the head coach. "Whatever you do, takt- *he kickoff starting the third period, if you can. Don’t let Notre Dame get the ball right after they have listened to Rockne between halves. I’ve found out what that means.” The advice was overlooked. Army kicked off to start the second half and a Notre Dame back on the first play thereafter ran 75 yards for a touchdown with practically ev ery Army defender flat on the back of his neck from the blocking that followed. What the World Needs More Than Atomic Bomb Defenses Knew Human Nature I also recall this—when a big game was being played by Notre Dame in either New York or Chi cago, visiting coaches sometimes numbering 10 or 12, immediately headed for Rockne’s room. They all wanted to visit with Rock, who also had a keen sense of humor, a gift for repartee and what it takes to supply cheerful, friendly entertain ment. Rock’s personality was always an outstanding feature. He knew human nature, how to handle men, including his famous top sergeant, the redoubtable Hunk Anderson, who on occasions was about as easy to handle as a Bengal tiger or a Numid- ian lion. Something like 80 of his players left Notre Dame to coach at other colleges. But it wasn’t so much the Notre Dame shift or any other part of the Rockne system that such coaches as Frank Thomas, Harry Mehre, Elmer Layden, Buck Shaw, Jimmy Crow ley, Harry Stuhldreher, Rip Miller, and many, many others carried to their teams. It was more the Rockne contribution in the way of condition, spirit and smartness. I have seen many slightly dumb football teams. I never saw a dumb Notre Dame team that I can now recall. It is for these and other reasons that I rank Rockne on top when it comes to his influence upon the game—not only when he was alive, but 14 years after his death. * • * Best Football Section The football query most often asked by servicemen is this: “Which section of the country turns out the strongest football teams, taking a general average year after year?” The only answer we could offer was that it is the Midwest. When you have a section year after year that can turn out such teams as Notre Dame, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio State, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, you have a mass of gridiron talent that is hard to beat. 1. Fewer diplomats, greaseballs, smarty-pants and politicians and more straight - shooters, educators and evangelists. 2. Less dependence on Big Threes and the Big Fives and more de pendence on the Big Ten (Command ments). 3. A general realization that noth ing can happen at London, Moscow or San Francisco that can be as im portant as what happened at Bethle hem. 4. Les < concern about the atomic bomb and more concern over an atomic faith. 5. A consecration of church, col lege, school and fireside to the tre- 1 mendous job of arousing a deep and I sincere regard for religious values. 6. An “atomic” bombing of indif ference, slipshod, routine churchgo ing and of “quicky” devotions in which a man presumes to give less time to a contact with his God than he would be willing to give to any contact in the business or social world. 7. An aroused, zealous, forceful clergy, impatient with forms and aflame with a determination to build, strengthen and perpetuate faith. 8. A return to the era when men of God were vital leaders of their flocks, pounding home the eternal verities, never kowtowing to thin- skins, never pulling a punch and talking turkey every Sunday 52 Sun days in the year. 9. The return of the Sunday ser mon as a powerful influence for guidance, instruction and spiritual inspiration and no yielding to those restless churchgoers who think a half hour in church is a strain on their patience. 10. A consolidation of churches in the realization that none of the agen cies of the devil would dream of scattering their efforts that way. 11. An end to churchgoing in the gimme-gimme mode and an ap proach to the altars in a spirit of love, sacrifice and gratitude. 12. A general realization that re ligion is no mere Sunday routine, and that its mood must be carried into the shop, office, market place, and home 365 days a year or elsej 13. A return to prayer in the de vout, clear-toned fervor of our fore fathers in the woods of Massachu setts. 14. Acceptance by every man and woman of the plain fact, now clearly visible, that from this point on he either joins the brotherhood of man or the Society for Self-Destruction. 15. A realization that of all the freedoms, the most helpful in the world of tomorrow must be freedom from hypocrisy. m m m WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? The most flabbergasting spectacle of the day Is Japan playing Little Eva. i • Y ester day the Jap was a teeth- baring, wild-eyed, snarling gorilla- ! man, treating slaughter as a picnic pastime; today he presents the i picture of a marcher in a daisy chain, not even resentful that his emperor has had to become a Hiro- milquetoast. Yesterday the Jap was diving to death in a one-man suicide bomb; today he isn’t even showing the will to talk back to movie-house ushers. • The nation is taking total defeat more calmly than thousands of dem ocratic communities take the loss of a local election. m The Japs shucked their uniforms with the eagerness of boys eager to take a hot bath. They turned in . their weapons with less argument than you would get from an army of Hollywood “extras,” and they have adopted “Yes” as a national slogan without batting an eyelash. # Are the Nips the most philosophi cal people of all time? Are they merely the best actors of 1945? Are they still in a coma? Or when licked are they a race that takes a rain check and calmly awaits the next contest? * Never in history has a warlike nation taken such a shellacking and then put its neck on the block with such gushing resignation and ultra politeness. * Of course, there is one possible exception: Maybe the Japanese are willing to accept anything rather than another close-up of Nimitz, Halsey, Mitscher and the United States marines. * • • THE DELICATESSEN DEALERS .HAD A NAME FOR IT The former police chief of a great city, giving up a job to appear in crime scripts for the kiddies on the radio, is now making crime movies for the little dears. He will start with the Dillinger case. We don’t blame anybody for changing jobs for big money. And we like to see a poheemen get ahead. But it’s time somebody stripped such cases of all the bunk about its being done to halt juvenile delinquency, and keep the kiddies straight. By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D.

THE OUTREACH OF THE CHURCH LESSOX TEXT: Acts 11:21-30: 12:24. 25. 13:1-4. GOLDEN TEXT: And He said unto them. Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.—Mark 16:15. A church that is spiritually alive will be missionary-minded. What seemed like unfortunate persecution of the early Church (Acts 8:4; 11: 19) proved to be a blessing, for like flying embers from a beaten fire, these believers lighted many new fires as they were scattered abroad. The ministry by Philip in Sa maria was paralleled by that of others in Phenice, Cyprus, and now in Antioch. That great city was not far from Jerusalem, but it was far from God. A mighty city, rich in trade, it was also deep in all kinds of sin. But there it pleased God to ! establish a great center of Christian testimony. God loves to do new things (see, for example, II Cor. 5:17; Isa. 43:19; Ps. 33:3; Rev. 21:5). I. A New Fellowship (11:21-25). • The Antioch church was a living witness. “The hand of the Lord was with them”; little wonder that “a great number believed and were turned to the Lord.” Your church and mine might learn much from the church at Antioch. The genius of Christianity is fel lowship. Those who have a religious belief which makes them exclusive —not willing to fellowship with other Christians — do not truly represent their Lord. When the church at Jerusalem heard the good news, they sent Bar nabas to help the new converts and to establish fellowship. He was the ideal man to send, for “ ‘he was a good man.’ It is far | more important that a man be good than that he be brilliant if he is to j edify young converts. He was ‘full j of the Holy Ghost.’ He was also ‘full of faith,’ and without that no man need undertake the work of instruct ing and developing young converts. He was free from the love of gold (4:36, 37). “He was free from personal ambition and jealousy in his work (vv. 25, 26). He was very sharp- eyed to see the sincerity and prom ise of a young convert (9:27).” Into this new fellowship of life and service the gracious and gener ous Barnabas brought a new evan gelist — Saul, God’s prepared man for this hour. II. A New Name (11:26-30). Christian, the beautiful name of those who follow Christ, was first used at Antioch. It may have held a measure of contempt (see Acts 26:28; I Pet. 4:16), but it was a re markably suitable name for those who had come out of paganism now to live, amid their old surroundings, a new life, a separated life, the Christ life. This name “combines Jewish thought with Greek and Latin lan guage, and thus, like the inscription on the cross, bears witness to the universality of Christianity as a re ligion for the whole world. The idea of ‘Christ’ (Messiah) is Jewish; the substantive ‘Christ’ (Christos) is Greek, and the adjectival termina tion ‘ian’ (-ianus) is Latin. . . This new name was intended to in troduce and mark the difference be tween Jews and Gentiles on the one hand, and those who, whether Jews or Gentiles, were followers of Jesus Christ. . . . The term ‘Christian’ evidently points to the person of Christ, and to those who are asso ciated with Him as His followers. It implies and involves union and close association with Christ” (W. H. Grif fith Thomas). Those believers at Antioch not only bore the name, they practiced the life of Christ. They gave of their means, “every man according to his abilities,” to meet the need of their new-found Jewish brethren in Judea. III. A New Vision (12:24, 25; 13: 1-4). Little wonder that in such a church “the word of God grew and multi plied” (cf. 11:21). But the believers were not content to settle back at ease and enjoy that fellowship. Their precious church was simply the center from which they reached out to the heathen world around them. Every army must have a home base. Just so, the army of the Lord looks to the home church, the local gathering of God’s people. An army would fail if those at the base of its action were asleep, or so interested in the pleasures of this world, or so indifferent to their responsi bility. that they would not work hard in support of the active army. So the cause of Christian missions can not go ahead if it must depend on a home church v/hich is spiritually asleep, indolent, indifferent, and worldly-minded. The church at Antioch prayed and fasted. It ministered the Word oi God. It was responsive to the guid ance of the Holy Spirit and ready to sacrifice by giving its leaders to the missionary cause. Is your church that kind of church? To wash galoshes put in washer after washing is finished and wash them about five minutes. Rinse well and put to dry in a warm but not hot place.
