THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. IkecMome ^g^Msain WASHINGTON By Walter Shead I £ ^ 'mm Corrttpondant I WNU Washington Bureau. 1616 Eye St.. N. W. Peoples of World Progress Slowly Toward Co-Operation Vy KETHER we like it or not, * whether we believe it or not forces of necessity, of self-preserva tion and world-wide need are bring ing the peoples of this old planet upon/ which we live, closer together . . . nearer to the one world about which Wendell Willkie preached. We have only to look at passing events to see the signs manifest upon every hand. Each passing day which brings its quarrels, its mis understandings , its mistrusts and misgivings into the one, is one more milestone ... one more obstacle overcome as we inch to ward that new day of a newer con ception of our dependency one na tion upon the other, one people upon another people. Today the United States, more fortunate than others in the after- math of war, is upon the giving end. Who knows but that tomorrow we may be calling for help as other na tions are calling upon us for aid today. Almost one-half of the two bil lion persons which populate this world are today dependent upon the other half for the actual nec essity for life . . . food. Food and its distribution is today the No. 1 priority ... it is the all-con suming thought of these mil lions, enough food to maintain life. While we are engaged in our petty bickerings by compar ison . . . price controls, election prospects, whether we have one or two pair of nylons, how we stand on the list for a new car . . . how long the filibuster will last in congress . . . whether we can get a new home . . . these millions think only of a loaf of bread. And who knows, we may be calling upon them this next winter for a ton of coal. Steps Toward Unity The recent International Labor Congress . . . the more recent In ternational Agricultural Producers conference in London . . . the sched uled meeting of the food and agri cultural organization of the United Nations organization . . . the pro posed International Conference for the Expansion of World Trade and Employment . . . the start in the operation of the International Mon etary fund and of the International bank . . . the widespread and broad er scope of our own Export-Import bank . . . the regular sessions of the security council of the UNC and the meetings of the foreign ministers of the great powers . . . the broaden ing of the objectives of the Pan- American union . . the plans for the cultural relations division of our state department ... all these parsing events point to the building up of collective power and under- standir.g instead of individual pow er .. . collective thinking instead of individual thinking . . . which moves us closer to “One World” and who knows perhaps world gov ernment. If these events do not gradu ally bring about a united view point ... if tbey do not elimi nate mistrust as between na tions ... if tbey do not dis credit intolerance of one people for another, then indeed we are preparing for another war. This writer ofttimes is pessimistic where human nature is concerned, for it has changed little in the past 2,000 years, but we have now reached a crisis in the history of the world and a turning point in our civilization. For another war will not be just another war ... it will be stark effacement of whole cities, whole nations. If the will to prevent this destruc tion of civilization is there, then surely these movements towards in ternational co-operation will bear fruit, the yield slight, perhaps, but gaining as we get to know one an other better. And that brings us to the fear that is in the minds of govern* ment leaders and peoples ev^ erywhere . . .what of the atomic bomb which hangs as a sword of Damocles over the heads of the world? What will we do with it? Will we give it over to the security council of the UNO? Your Home Town Reporter will witness July 1 the joint army-navy test of the fourth atomic bomb in the Marshall silands. The first bomb which dropped in a New Mexican desert was a pigmy by comparison. Peace or Annihilation The next two at Hiroshima and Nagasaki are obsolete although they almost wiped out those two cities. What will the fourth bomb do, dropped on an array of target ships in Bikini lagoon? The army-navy task force test is a research which is intended to prepare this country for defense against atomic energy . . . for any eventuality. Can mankind break the deadly, age-old peace-war cycle and end wars? It is evident that wa must or see our civilization perish. FY OES a winning horse make a star trainer, or does the trainer make the winning horse? Does a winning baseball team make the leading manager, or does the manag er make the win ning baseball team? Does a winning football team make the winning coach, or does the coach make the winning football team? This ancient ar gument keeps pop ping up from time to time but the an- Connie Mack swer is as simple as adding two and three. The ma terial nearly always is about 80 per cent of it—often more than that. As a result coaches, trainers and managers are given far too much credit for winning results, and have to shoulder far too much blame for failures they couldn’t help. They have important work to handle and their superior skill is needed at times to beat an opponent just a bit better—but they can’t close the gap between class and mediocrity. In something more than 40 sea sons Connie Mack has won nine pennants. He also has had as many or more tail enders. Frank Chance won four pennants in five years with the old Cubs, but Chance couldn’t get the Yankees, or Highlanders as they were known then, within V-rocket range of the first division. The same thing applies to football coaches who are bedecked with laurel and olive when they have a big, hard-charging line and fast- moving backs but who are panned to a pulp when they can’t win with a poor line and slow-moving ball carrriers. FootbaU coaches, realiz ing this, with the help of willing alumni have outclassed all other fields in locating promising talent and bringing the same to the cam pus they must guard—especially when they have enough money with which to work and the scholastic requirements are softened up. No one can blame the coaches for this action, the same being for self protection. As far as material vs. manage ment goes, what manager could lift the Athletics or the Phillies out of last place? In your summary you can include Stalin, Truman and John L. Lewis. The winning answer is the material. • • • Best College Outfit In the midst of the tumult and the shouting from baseball, racing, box ing and golf, there is a clear note from college sports that sings its own song. This note comes from Oklahoma A. and M. to this effect: Dear Mr. Rice: Please allow me to introduce my self. My name is Weldon B. Boyles of Oklahoma City. I am attending Oklahoma A. & M. for the first time under the G.I. Bill. When I first enrolled, in January of this year, I realized that Okla homa A. & M. was turning out a basketball team of national impor tance and, in view of the fact that A. & M. had a national ranking foot ball team last fall, I began to won. der if the Aggies were not setting a new American mark in that: (X) No school, two years in a row, ever ranked so high in both of our ma jor sports (basketball, football); (2) No school has ever accomplished the feat of winning THREE top sports in ONE school year. Here is part of what the Aggies have done so far: In FOOTBALL, the Aggies ranked 11th in 1944, plus a Cotton Bowl win. In BASKETBALL, the Ags placed 1st in 1944, beating DePaul. But look what they’ve done this school year of 1545-1946: 1. FOOTBALL—They ranked 2nd (tied with Alabama) and won ths Sugar Bowl game. 2. BASKETBALL — They ranked 1st. Kentucky did not meet them because I don’t think Adolph Rupp cared to take the chance. 3. Wrestling—they won 1st place in the NCAA tournament, beating Iowa Teachers. Is it possible, when yon >mpare the Aggies against some of the oth er schools, that yon might print some of the findings in your dally column? There probably are many sports lovers in oar land who would enjoy the reading of such informa tion, although yon would be laying yourself wide open to a blast of controversy from many loyal alum ni of other schools. Weldon B. Boyles. We have no set of vital statistics at hand to clear up this point, but for the moment we can’t recall an other college outfit with a better all- around record against the competi tion of present years. • • • Career of Jake Jones The new White Sox first baseman, Jake Jones, stands 6 feet 3 inches and comes from Monroe, La. He left college to play in the Texas league and in 1941 was called to the White Sox—but the arrival of war ended Jones’ career as a ballplayer when he enlisted in naval aviation. Here is what one of the flying mates says: “A great guy and one of the best fliers I ever saw,” he said. “Jake was on the Fighting Lady, one of the flghtingest carriers in the war. Women's World Old Cotton Bathrobes Easily Made into Pajamas for Kiddies i £rtta CINCE inexpensive cotton prints ^ are still scarce, you are prob ably looking around for ways and means to convert what cottons you have into wearable clothing. There’s nothing that takes up quite so much material and remains in service so short a time as pajamas for the young fry of the family. One of the common sights around most households I know are those wornout cotton robes which you may just now be taking out with your summer clothing. If the print on the fabric has worn or faded to such an extent as to make it look even more worn than usual, it would even be worth dyeing into a solid color. Fellow your directions on the package of dye to get the best results. After the robe has been cleaned or dyed, and pressed flat, fit the pa jama pattern to it. You may have to do some smart fitting to make it come out, but there is bound to be enough material for the project. Pajamas may be one-piece or two-piece, depending upon the pref erence. The one-piece type with the slip-on top will save a lot of work because there need be no but tonholes. There are no fitting prob lems in making pajamas because the only requirement is that they be loose and comfortable enough for sleeping. If you are making pa jamas for a tot, be sure to choose one with a drop seat. Use Time-Saving Routine in Sewing. Pajamas are very easy to make, especially if you use the following method in cutting and sorting. As you cut, sort out those that require sewing and pin the pieces together. Then you need not go scrambling This lime green crepe with through the lot of them when you handstitching around the high start sewing. neck, down the fly front and on In making the pants, be sure to the high pockets is worn by Donna allow a generous cut. The legs should Reed, now appearing in “They be comfortably wide without being Were Expendable.” to make sure the lengthwise thread of the sleeve is exactly in line with the top of the pajama, not with the forward shoulder line. Baste on the seam allowance and then try on for fit. Move the arms about, up and down, in front, etc., to make sure there is no undue strain. Stitch on the basting thread when you are sure they fit. Or, stitch outside the basting if you need a lit tle more room. Buttonholes, if you make this type of pajama are easily made with the machine attachment. Select your buttons first and try out a button hole on a piece of material so that you can get it the right size, and ad just the stitching on the buttonhole maker according to the material. Use matching colored thread for the best appearance. // you have a cotton bathrobe ... baggy, and the crotch must be long enough. Avoid making the pajamas too long, as they will only get wound around the legs and make for un comfortable sleeping. The sewing construction in the pa jamas is very simple. Most edges can be finished with the pinking shears, and the seams are plain. In sewing the legs together, the best type of seam to use is the flat fell because it is sturdy and lies flat. To make this, stitch first on the seam line from the right side. Trim away one edge to within one-eighth of an inch of the stitching. Turn the other edge flat over this, turn in the raw edge and stitch the seam from the right side. The instructions given here apply to any type of sleeve, but particu larly to the pajama sleeve, which must be fitted well to offer the great est comfort. First place the sleeves in position, making sure the notches on the sleeve and the armhole come together at exactly the same point. Make a child’s pair of pajamas. Adjust the fullness at the top by making small running stitches which can be pulled to make a gather for fitting the sleeve in the armhole. Ad just all the fullness between the notches. In other words, none of the gathering should fall anywhere ex cept at the top of the sleeve—none under the arms. Pin the sleeve in place. When pinned, hold the sleeve in your hands Color Selection How carefully do you select your clothes colors? Are you swayed by the most popular col ors, or do you honestly select and use only those that look best on you? Here’s a guide to help you. The color of the eyes is more important than hair color in se lecting just the right shade. Those colors which are closest to your eye color will make them appear most attractive. Since you wear your coat the most, select one with a good basic color and build your wardrobe around that. A basic color like black, brown, navy or dark green is best. You can brighten a dark colored coat with brighter dress and accessories. When you want to appear so phisticated, combine black with the following colors; red, kelly green, chartreuse or orange. When you want to be soft and feminine, use these colors with black; pink, yellow, turquoise and lavender. Some people look their best in dark brown rather than black, especially teen-age girls. This brown is most flattering when combined with the following col ors: pale blue, turquoise, pink, chartreuse, yellow orange and green. There are loads of colors that look well with dark green, that give pleasing variations to the wardrobe. Try some of these: yel low, luggage tan, orange, char treuse, pink or pale green. The texture of the fabric is very important in the color you choose. Red crepe might be very attrac tive but the same shade in satin would be too harsh-looking. Se lect color and texture at the same time for best effect. Summer Fashion Notes Off the face hats are youthful ap pearing, as are sailor models. If you prefer, however, the garden par ty variety, can be just as chic as any other. Boxy jackets are favored for summertime wear. You can wear a box jacket over sports dresses, afternoon dresses and even evening gowns. Choose white or one of the soft pastel shades. Halter necklines with wide straps at the back are popular, as are sports dresses with a deep, off-the- shoulder top. Sunback dresses which come and go have come into style again. Many of these have the straps done in a pinafore effect at the back to permit plenty of vitamin D rays from the sun to cover back and shoulders. 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 col umn. No replies can be made direct by mail, but only in the column which will appear in this newspaper regularly. Unemployment Benefits The veterans administration In clarifying rights of veterans under the unemployment or readjustment allowances feature of the G.I. bill has announced that veterans who take temporary jobs retain their rights to unemployment allowances after they are released and they are not required to claim unemploy ment payments Immediately after their discharge in order to pro tect their rights to benefits. The G.I. bill provides that re adjustment allowances wall be pay able to eligible veterans for two years after date of discharge, or two years after end of the war, whichever is later, and, since the war is not yet officially over, vet erans already discharged still will have two years after official termin ation in which to file claims for un employment benefits. In no case may unemployment benefits be paid later than five years after the war. This would al low the veteran who re-enlists for three years during the war period an additional two years in which to receive payments. The veteran may apply for allowances as often as he becomes unemployed providing he does not voluntarily leave his em ployment without good reason, or he is not discharged for cause, and still has benefits available out of his maximum of 52 weeks. Questions and Answers Q. My step-mother has a son who has been in the army since World War I and she hasn’t heard from him in six years. Could you tell me bow to get in contact with him?—Mrs. J. E. R., Guntersville, Ala. A. Write to the bureau of en listed personnel, office of the ad jutant general, war department, Washington 25, D. C., giving his full name, serial number if you have it, and all details. Q. My husband was inducted into the army April 8, 1946. What would be the earliest date he could be re leased? He is 24 years old and in partnership with his father on a 12,800 acre ranch with 300 head of cattle. His father is in poor health and has no other help. Could he get a discharge on these grounds?— E. C., Miles City, Mont. A. It would be impossible to tell you when your husband will be re leased since the army has not made regulations beyond June 30, 1946. If he can make a hardship or dependency case because of his need at home, he is entitled to ap ply to his commanding officer for release on these grounds. Q. My husband is a private in Japan. He went into service Febru ary 28, 1945. Went across in Novem ber. We have a crippled baby which has to be taken to the hospital ev ery two weeks in Atlanta. I put in for a discharge for him but they turned it down. Now I am hoping he will get a discharge by being a father. Can you tell me when all fathers will be home?—Mrs. E. M., Cartersville, Ga. A. Under ordinary circumstances, your huband probably would have another year of service before he is eligible for discharge. At pres ent, there is no distinction between fathers and non-fathers in the armed services, except where they have three or more children. Q. I see where widows of war veterans of World War I are en titled to a pension. My husband re cently passed away and would you kindly tell me where I should make application for the pension?—Mrs. A. E., DeGrasse, N. Y. A. You should apply to your near est veterans administration office, probably at Sunmount hospital near Tupper lake, or at the post office building in Watertown. Q. My boy was drafted into the army in November and was mar ried a few days before he left. He made his wife a $50 allotment. Can he make his mother an allotment too? He helped me before he went into the army and all of the chil dren at home are still of school age. I am in bad health and so is my husband and I need his help badly. —Mrs. A., Arab, Ala. A. Yes, he can make his mother an allotment, but it is voluntary on his part. Q. I have a son who has been in Germany a year and two months. He is in the 4th army of occupa tion, TRPB, 51, constabulary squad ron. He is almost 20 years old and has served most of his time over seas. He went into service Oct. 11, 1944. Will he be sent home soon?— M. B., Macks, Ark. A. From your letter I cannot de termine how many points he has earned, but he has served approxi mately 18 months. Men who have served 24 months by June 30 may be eligible for discharge by that date. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for June 23 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. STRENGTHENING BONDS OF FELLOWSHIP LESSON TEXT—Luke 22:14-20; John 17: 6-8, 20. 21. MEMORY SELECTION- A new com mandment I give unto you. That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.—John 13:34. Fellowship is a word which comes to its full meaning only in the relationship between the Lord and believers, which also brings them into just such a relationship with one another. The Lord seeks his people and gives himself in friendship to them, even to the full devotion of death. Shall we do less for one another? Our lesson presents four ways in which Christ fellowshiped with his disciples. I. Tbe Fellowship of the Passover (Luke 22:14-18). It was late on Thursday, of what we call Holy Week, that Jesus and his disciples came to the upper room where Peter and John had already made preparation for the observ ance of the Passover (Luke 22:8). This feast had (since that great and awful night of Israel’s redemp tion out of Egypt’s bondage) pointed forward to the Christ and to his cross as the fulfillment of the type of redemption by the shedding of blood. — Our Lord looked forward with in tense desire to the Passover which he row observed with his disciples, for it was the last celebration of that feast recognized by God. All that it had foreshadowed of deliver ance and hope was fulfilled in him who now sat at the table. He had moved forward with resolute pur pose to this day when his mission on earth was to be accomplished, and he was to become the Chris tian’s Passover lamb (I Cor. 5:7). The Passover was a solemn feast of remembrance of God’s deliver ance from the bondage of Egypt, but it was now to be replaced by a new feast of remembrance of eter nal significance. They went on into n. The Fellowship of the Lord’s Table (Luke 22:19, 20). Taking the unleavened *■ ead and the unfermented wine of the Pass- over which had just been observed, Jesus established the Christian feast of remembrance, which we call communion, or the Lord’s table. His words are significant, “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till he come” (I Cor. 11:26). At the Lord’s table his fol lowers find spiritual strength in re calling his death for them, but they also find joy as. they remember vhat he is to come again. They thus testi fy to the world that they believe and cherish these truths. Our Lord also spoke of the cup as “my blood of the new testament.” The word “testament” means cov enant. The Lord’s table, therefore, speaks of our allegiance to him, of our loyalty to our Lord, and of our devotion to his service. That is why the Christian church speaks of communion as a sacrament, a word from the Latin sacramentum, meaning oath, and essentially an oath of allegiance. III. The Fellowship of God’s Word (John 17:6-8). John gives us a blessed account of the fellowship of Jesus and his disciples in the upper room, and then takes us intc what is indeed “the Holy of Holies” of Scripture, our Lord’s intercessory prayer. Here “the High Priest of our pro fession” (Heb. 3:1) brings us into the very presence of God. At the very beginning of his peti tions for them and for us (see v. 20) he speaks of the word which the Father had given him and which he had given to them. This little company of men had been given to Christ, drawn out of the evil world and set apart for God’s work. But note that the thing which distinguished them in the eyes of the Lord was that they had “kept” the word of God, even as they had received the living word, Christ, as the one whom the Father had sent. That kind of fellowship with the Lord makes a man strong and use ful. Life and testimony both ring true because they exalt Christ. IV. The Fellowship of Prayer (John 17:20, 21). Christ prayed for his disciples, not only those immediately pres ent, but all who should through the ages since that day believe in Christ because of their witness. That puts each one of us, who is a true disciple, right into the center of the greatest prayer fellowship of all time. He, the eternal and omnipo tent one, prays for us. Why then should we be weak and faltering in our testimony or have failures in our life? Can it be that we have failed to count on his prayer and have tried to walk in our own strength? The prayer for unity (v. 21) does not speak of an outward uniting of religious bodies such as is much favored and promoted in our day. Certainly where such unity can be attained without the sacrifice of principle or compromise with false doctrine it is desirable. Real unity is that of the heart. Spool Shelve* for Interesting Trinket* T HESE graceful corner shelves are 10 inches wide and 7 inches deep at the bottom. Just the right size to hold the quaint match hold er, the old-fashioned china doll head and other interesting trinkets that you have been treasuring. In Victorian times such shelves were strung together with cord and the spools saved from the voluminous amount of sewing done each sea son. Today, with spools piling up from our sewing, we make similar shelves that have all the old charm but are much more rigid and substantial. The spools and shelves now may be practically welded together with new easy-to-use types of glue. Hie wire or cord is then run through, as shown here, so that ihe shelves may be hung in a cor ner ready to hold articles of considerable weight. * * * NOTE—Mrs. Spears has designed an actual-size pattern for these three grace fully curved corner shelves which are graduated in size. This pattern also con tains complete directions for cutting and joining these shelves as well as a pattern for another larger set of spool shelves. Ask for Pattern No. 255. Address: MRS.
