THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. ALARMING REACTIONS TO FOOTBALL FLASHES Elmer Twitchell, red hot football enthusiast, is near his annual grid season collapse. He can’t stand the strain of those football battles. Not tnat he goes to many games. He sees few in the bowls. What ruins Elmer are the newsreel movies. • He can sit quietly through most movies without any impulse to join the players on the screen, but foot ball scenes get him. Just flash on those views of two big teams tear ing up and down the screen and Elmer goes berserk. He rips off his coat the moment a game starts. (Lately he has taken to wearing a heavy sweater and perhaps wrap ping himself in a blanket. How he loves to throw them off and gallop down the aisle!) * Last night the big game suddenly flashed on the screen between two big features. With only 10 yards to go for a touchdown a player dropped the ball and it rolled over the side lines and clean out of the movie. Elmer thought it went into the third aisle. He sprang from his seat and went for it. ♦ He came up with a felt hat, a handbag and a bag of potatoes be longing to a Long Island movie ad dict, reversed the field and seemed about to make the most sensational run of the year when thrown by the house policemen and a violin ist. • There is something to be said for Elmer. Those movie flashes of epic contests are hard to follow. Half the time we are not sure whether the action moves closer to the photog rapher now and then or whether it’s vice versa. And it is our conviction that the football episodes frequent ly get mixed up with the episodes in the double feature picture. • • • LINES AFTER STUDYING What’s become of that old beaver That my father used to wear? It was tall and rather battered; Of hard knocks it had its share; Oh, for years it had been missing. But it’s back among us now. And this season sees it perching Over mom’s and sister’s brow. Father wore it but to weddings Or when greeting folks of fame; It was not worn on the bias— Comedy was not his aim. But now mother has no scruples— And her mirror seems to please, As she puts it on her noodle When her milliner decrees! Mom may cut it down, extend it, Doll it up with things galore. But she never can deceive me lt’s the plug hat father wore; And this is my firm conclusion: Though she wears it with aplomb. It lookei better on my old man Thau it ever looks on mom! • • • PLANET JOTTINGS H. Truman, the former hatter, saw his lawyers recently. He wants to sue the fellows who sold him the idea of taking a nomination for vice president on the ground it would be just an honor. • • • German war criminals posed for a group picture the other day. It should be a big help in convicting them on all counts, even if re touched a little. • • • Things have taken a turn for the worst. Peace has broken out in China, Java, Palestine, Cairo and other points. Folks are trying to get the White House to issue a radio statement assuring them it will not spread to America. • • • Robbers broke into the General Motors plant recently but as what they wanted to steal was a new auto they left empty handed. • • • Stocks are soaring on the best bad news in years from all points. Nothing can stop the rise but pros perity. • • • OH BOY! Senator Salstonstall of Massachusetts comes out with praise for Indian pudding as the tastiest dish in America, and how this warms our heart! It is years since we had any, and yet the memory of this golden dish makes our mouth water. “Injun meal,” we called it back home. It was made into a sort of pudding the night be fore and put away to “set." Then in the morning Mom carved it into strips about a quarter of an inch thick—maybe closer to a half—and fried it on the kitchen stove. ITe can still hear it sputtering and see it in all its golden glow as we poured maple sirup on it and went to town. What’s be come of it? • • • mmmoip mwmomm 1 mmm Bake Cookies Now To Have Them Ready For Holiday Time LYNN CHAMBERS’ MENUS Stuffed Baked Potatoes with Creamed Ham Asparagus Salad Glazed Carrots Pineapple Cole Slaw Biscuits Beverage Sponge Cake Custard Bake holiday cookies before Christ mas and store them in wax paper lined tins to keep them fresh and moist. A raw, unpeeled apple will prevent them from drying out. Sugar-Shy Cookies Good cookies are always in sea son, but particularly so at Christmas time. This year, of course, we are still working un der difficulties be cause sugar is not easy to ob tain. But that needn’t put a crimp in the Yuletide cookie jar. Corn syrups, honey and unrationed chocolate are all on hand to help with the Christmas baking. You will find the recipes for these substitutes so good that they’re here to stay even when we have plenty of sugar. Cookies made for Christmas are usually prepared ahead of time to save work as the big celebration ap proaches. It’s a smart idea to take precautions with them to keep them fresh and moist. First of all, use nuts and dried fruits whenever pos sible as these ingredients add mois ture. Second, pack them in waxed paper lined tins with a raw apple. Then they won’t dry out. Incidentally, when using honey or corn syrup in cookies, grease the baking pans thoroughly to prevent sticking. Melted fat brushed on the tins usually solves the problem neat ly- Here are two types of cookies, nei ther of which requires any sugar at all. One uses corn syrup for sweet ening and the other, honey: Fudge Nut Squares. (Makes 16 2-inch squares) 1 cup chocolate pieces 2 tablespoons shortening 2 eggs, bc:iten Vfc cup coin syrup % teaspoon vanilla 1 cup cake flour, sifted 14 teaspoon baking powder !4 teaspoon salt 14 cup nuts, chopped Melt chocolate and shortening over hot water. Bent eggs thorough- ly, add corn syrup and vanilla and beat until light and flufiy. Stir in melted chocolate and shortening, which have been slight ly cooled. Mix and sift flour, baking powder and salt. Add to chocolate mixture. Stir in nuts. Pour into a greased, 8-inch square pan. Bake in a moderately hot (375-de gree) oven fr-r 25 to 30 minutes. Honey Drops. (Makes 4 dozen cookies) H cup shortening 14 cup honey 1 egg, unbeaten Vt teaspoon vanilla 114 cups sifted all-purpose flour 14 teaspoon soda 14 teaspoon salt 14 cup nuts, chopped 1 cup chocolate pieces Cream shortening and honey to gether. Add unbeaten egg and va nilla and beat un til light and fluffy. Mix and sift flour, soda and salt. Add to the first mixture. Stir in nuts and choco late pieces. Drop from teaspoon on a greased cookie sheet. Bake in a moderately hot (375-degree) oven 10 to 12 minutes. Using only a small amount of sweetening, cookies in the following two recipes take on extra sweetness because of the molasses that is used in them. Both contain dried fruits to make them moist: Prune Cookies. (Makes 5 dozen cookies) 14 cup shortening 14 cup sugar 14 cup molasses 2 eggs 114 cups sifted flour 14 teaspoon baking soda 14 teaspoon salt 14 teaspoon cinnamon 1 cup cooked prunes, pitted and cut in small pieces 1 teaspoon vanilla Cream shortening and sugar, add molasses and eggs, one at a time. Sift flour with baking soda, salt and cin namon. Add to creamed mixture. Beat thoroughly. Add primes and vanilla. Mix well. Drop by teaspoon fuls on a greased baking sheet. Bake in a pre-heated (375-degree) oven for 12 minutes. Molasses Raisin-Nut Bars. 14 cup shortening 14 cup sugar 1 egg 14 cup molasses 2 cups sifted flour 14 teaspoon salt 14 teaspoon soda 114 teaspoons baking powder 14 cup sweet milk 1 cup chopped nuts 1 cup chopped raisins or dates Cream shortening, add sugar and beat until light. Add egg, beat well, then add molasses. Sift flour with dry ingredients and add alternately with milk to first mixture. Add chopped nuts and fruit. Spread thin ly in a greased shadow pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes in a moderate (350- degree) oven. Cut in bars. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.

THE CHRISTIAN’S PLACE IN THE LIFE OF HIS NATION (Temperance Lesson) LESSON TEXT: Matt. 5:13-16, 43-48; I Peter 2:13-17. GOLDEN TEXT: Blessed Is the nation whose God is the Lord.—Psalm 33:12. Radio is 25 years old. This makes it still too young to give the right answer to its outstanding question, “Are you over 35. . . .?” • It seems only yesterday that there was no radio at all and we could think of a pill, ointment or cigarette without associating it with any crooner or comic. A British plane has done 606 miles au hour. When doing less than 400 it is considered parked. LYNN SAYS Taste Tips: When all the meat has been sliced off the roast, whittle off the pieces from the bones, grind them and mix them with mayonnaise or salad dress ing for sandwiches. The bone from a roast may be simmered with onion, celery, car rots, bay leaf and parsley. This stock is excellent for casseroles, sauces, or as a gravy base. To prevent the broiler from be coming dry, fit it with a wire rack, and then the fat will drip into the fan. It is easy to pour off, and the broiler pan is easily washed. When serving veal, complement the flavor with sausage, spiced fruits or pickles. Never press meat loaf or ham burgers into tight loaves or pat ties. When loosely shaped, the meat will be more tender. Frankfurters will have extra appeal if wrapped in biscuit dough, baked and served with mustard white sauce. Everyday brownies will take on a festive touch if they are simply iced with powdered sugar frosting. The cookies should be well cooled before they are spread with icing. Busy cooks know that bar shaped cookies save preparation time. These molasses flavored fruit bars are just the thing for holiday time. Molasses Fruit Bars.

Human be ings in a land like ours determine by their interests and attitudes the direction in which the entire social order moves. That in turn deter mines what kind of government we have. If the totalitarian philosophies have colored our thinking and caused us to forget the importance of the individual in the life of our nation, let us turn at once to the right view. Particularly important is the bear ing which individual Christians can and should have on our national life. We have tended to draw back and fail to use the power and position which we have by God’s grace. Nowhere does that show more than in our failure (perhaps one should say shameful failure!) to bring Christian principles to bear upon the appalling liquor problem. This is temperance Sunday. Do not fail to stress that phase of Christian citizenship today. ! How should Christians make their 1 influence felt in the nation? By be ing what they ought to be and con- i tributing to its life. Note these things in our lesson—the Christian gives: I I. Salt (Matt. 5:13). We are the salt of the earth, and the pungent savor of Christ is to be evident in us as we touch life round about us—in the church, in the home, and in the nation. | True salt is antiseptic and purify ing. It fights corruption wherever it is found. How effective the spir itually salty Christian and church should be against the corrupt polit ical system, the liquor industry, vice and sin of all kinds. Have we lost our savor (v. 13)? II. Light (Matt. 5:14-16). A light is intended to give illumi nation to all round about it. It al- ; ways does unless someone hides it | under a cover, and then it becomes not only useless but dangerous. A life lighted by faith in Christ will shine to the very ends of the earth and, as a missionary once said, “The light that shines farthest shines brightest at home.” We are the light of the world, but if we cover our light we deny the very essence of our natures. Here is no thought of proud or selfish dis play. Light does not shout about itself, it just shines. Who will deny that there is need of some real spiritual light in some of the dark corners of our national life? Who is to shine in such places but you and me, fellow-believer? Then, too, let us not forget that God has sent us out to light other lights. We can best serve our na- I tion, and best meet the challenge of liquor by turning men to Christ. That doesn’t mean that we should neglect other “good works,” but it is well to keep “first things first.” III. Love (Matt. 5:43-48). “Love your enemies” (v. 44); that is the standard which Christ has established for His followers. While the love ona has for the brethren is without doubt a more intimate re lationship than the love one may have for an enemy, we must not seek to minimize the real love we should have even for those who curse and revile us. It is to move us so deeply that we not only treat them kindly, but also pray for them. Humanly speaking such a thing is impossible, but in Christ it is not only possible, it has actually been demonstrated in life. It is so easy for Christians to speak with derision that borders on hatred about “the devil’s gang,” and to lose all love for the crowd that hangs around the tavern and the gambling house. Let us hate their sin, but may God help us to show that we really love them. Love will do more to reach the world for Christ, and more to direct our national life into right channels than any other influence we can bring to bear. Let us do all we can, but let us do it all in love. IV. Loyalty (J Pet. 2:13-17). The loyalty of the Christian to right authority should be glad and free, not by necessity or by co ercion. The believer will see in all men the image of God and will honor them even though he may not be able to respect or approve their way of life. The dignity and position oi the individual is always recognized by Christianity. The brotherhood of true believers should call forth a peculiar love. We 1 need to renew that brotherly affec tion between believers. Fear of God, that is, the desire to do His blessed will, shows itself in the best kind of citizenship. Govern ment would serve itself well if it encouraged every effort to win it» citizens to Christ. Lamps to Make As Christmas Gifts IF YOU want to make a really * impressive gift, a lump all fitted with shade is sure to be appreciated. You can make it with the aid of a pattern that shows you exactly what materials ts use and how to assemble them. The pattern for the two wooden block lamp bases shown here also I FASHION continues to issue a clar- ^ ion call for color, color and more color. What with the gay holiday season approaching there is greater demand than ever for color-bright frocks. Designers are doing amazing 1 things with putting the mos‘. un expected color with other cola s for j striking contrast. In fact, we are be- ■ ing educated to the point that there seems nothing “impossible” in the modem color-contrast technique. It is admirable what creators have been inspired to do and to dare this season in playing up color contrast in costume design. The three-color youthful dress to i the left in the illustration is proving a big fashion success. It is the type that the young set adores. Two blaz- 1 ing colors and black in striking con- I trast for the bright bodice top sum up to nothing less than a sensation. The black skirt makes you look slim and neat, while the colors in the bodice light up your face in a ' flattering manner. The rayon fabric of which this dress is made will make a hit with you, too, for it has a crown-tested label that you can count on in way of dependable wear. I There are more ways than one to work color magic in designing a : modish gown. The two-piece black wool afternoon dress, centered in the picture, interprets a most unique I way of working out color contrast. It has a snug-fitting overlapping tunic brightened by a fluid band of char- 1 treuse wool inserted in the yoke and sleeves. There’s style distinction in , this dress in that from the contrast color angle it is so out of the ordi nary. With it milady wears a turban of black Persian lamb. Much ado is being made this sea son about the dress with a contrast yoke. Here is where color contrast technique is doing some of its best work. Note how effectively this scheme is carried out in the in stance of the dress to the right. You can imagine the yoke that styles this dress in any delectable color you wish. It’s striking in fuchsia with black, very lovely in lime with dark brown, dramatic in orange with navy and tres chic in white with black. Here’s a word to the girl that can sew: when you want to give new life to an old dress, give it a new yoke made of quality-kind crepe. A black frock with a yoke in that new and favored color, royal blue, would be stunning. Complement this outfit with a stunning felt hat in the same blue, or if the hat be black, feather it in this radiant blue. The big color-contrast thriller that is now in action in the fashion world is that of black teamed with riot ous colors that are most fascinat ing. New fashions are coming in of black jersey that introduce color in striking contrast. The characteris tic feature of this new color strategy is that it stands out boldly at just some one place on the dress or the blouse. For example, a simple black jersey skirt has a straight pan el running up the center front from waist to hemline. This wide insert has the effect of brilliant Roman stripes and the news is that it is made of strips of jersey in multi colors seamed together and then pressed. In the same series of dress es a model was shown that used a similar effect horizontally above the hemline of the skirt. A very striking black wool jacket had a wide orien tal looking insert about the sleeves only. Color contrast achieved by assem bling “separates” is carried out in stunning effects. A deep berry color formal crepe skirt topped with a bodice top in fuchsia or green, worn with a gorgeous jeweled belt is dra matic for evening wear. Likewise a striped or plaid taffeta full-length skirt with a top of black jersey is smart new style. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Decorative Buttons Dream-Like Formals For Teen-Age Set Now’s the time when a young girl’s fancy turns to thoughts of for mals and party frocks that will make her the belle of the evening during the holiday festivities.
