THE NEWBERHY SUN. NEWBERRY, S. C. Man About Town: Russian delegates are privately stating that if the veto power of the Big 4 is cancelled, Russia will take it on the lam for home. . It will be denied, but the British foreign office is using heavy pressure (politically) on American delegates —to play ball with British policy— or else. . . . Those who have suf fered from Bilbo’s cussedness will be overjoyed to learn that h" is in agony. Can’t, we hear, ever again filibuster. Might kill him if he tries. Can hardly whisper, too, without something like a stiletto cutting his throat. ... A guy on the coast who does a column called “Pikes Peek’’ is threatening to sue Earl Wilson for titling his comical book that way. That’s what comes from writ ing books. . . . And why write books? They ihvariablj' show up in Broadway drug store windows (on sale for 19c) a few months later. A certain syndicate is letting column- raiders take all they want for their alleged books. . . . Then, next year, demand an accounting and royal ties from their publishers at $1 per copy. New York Novelette: She had been his woman for years. . . . She had him well-trained, too. . . . Frixample: If she felt he was neglecting her ("not phoning or seeing her often enough), she got immediate action with her “system.” . . . She’d dial his number—wait for the phone to ring once, then hang np. . . . Thus saving her pride by not “actually calling him.” . . . He knew what the One Ring meant, and he would call right back. . . . This system, however, was her undoing. . . . When she started two-timing him, some of his pals heard about it but didn’t want to wound him by informing him directly. . . . Soooooo one 2 a. m., one of them dialed his number—let it ring once—and hung up. . . . Our Hero imme diately phoned her. ... A man’s verce answered. . . . And That (as Confucius used to say) Was That. A newsmag’s boom for Conant of Harvard (as the ideal Republican- didate) has brought many favor able replies. ... In China Patrick Hurley is supposed to have told Stilwell: "You have four stars and I have only two, but when I get back to Washington it will be either you or me!” Stilwell returned a broken man and so w^s his heart. . . . Insiders hear t...-t rent con trols will be scuttled by the new congress, whether it is Rep”b or Dem. . . . Whisky interests on De cember 1 will up the price on straight Bourbon $22 to $25 more per case. Raises on others have not been decided yet. B’way Wiseguy: We know a kid whose mother thinks he’ll become president, but his father hopes he’ll amount to some thing. A scandal bigger than the Gars- son case is brewing. Somebody took a powder after a big pay-offola was made. ... An air-purifier is to hit the market soon. It should make fight arenas and night spots breath able. . . . The Tass agency (the Russians) and a Chicago gazette’s offices at Lake Success are the only press staffs with locks on their doors. . . . Pat O’Brien, the star, tells chums “no mere producing.” Learned his lesson with “Crackup.” . . . When the chaplam at Lake- hurst naval station (he’s a red-hot southpaw hurler) joined the officers’ bowling team there, they promptly changed the name of the team from “Barflies” to “Holy-Rollers.” . . . Since the N. Y. recreation commit tee closed, they report that it is “impossible to get theater seats for vets.” Vets well enough to leave hospital beds for relaxation. Show men oughta be ashamed!

I» THESE DWTEP STATES Doolittle Keeps Promise To Town Named for Him DOOLITTLE, MO.—“We may not be on all the maps yet, but we have a good name and lots of enthusiasm,” insisted A. R. Cook, mayor of Doolittle, at the town’s recent dedica tion ceremonies. Lt. Gen. James H. Doolittle, former commanding general of the Eighth air force and leader of the famous Tokyo raid, kept a promise made more than two®- for own years ago by flying to Missouri the dedication services of the 1 named for him. Small Community. The town consists of a handful of buildings scattered along Highway 66, 100 miles southwest of St. Louis. Prior to becoming Doolittle, the community was known as Center ville. Early in 1944 a group of citizens in the Ozark mountain foothills re gion of Missouri banded together to incorporate their community, nam ing it for the famous airman. They addressed a letter to Gen eral Doolittle in care of the war de partment in Washington, advising him of their action and inviting him to participate in the official dedi catory ceremonies. Not long after ward the general replied from Eng land thanking them for the honor and stating that when his current “pressing business” was finished and conditions permitted, he would be happy to attend the ceremonies. At the dedication rites. General Doolittle made a speech and un veiled a bronze plaque bearing his likeness. Medicine Output Hits New Peak; Aspirin in Leqd WASHINGTON. — Consumption of medicine by the American people reached a record peak of about 40 million pounds last year, it is dis closed in a report compiled by the chemical division of the tariff com mission. Production of medicinal prepara tions by the chemical industry, which is by far the largest pro ducer, exceeded 44 million pounds last year, according to the report. While some of this was produced for export and some was retained for a reserve supply, the greater part was consumed by Americans, both military and civilian. Aspirin was the largest single item, the report reveals. Eleven millhm pounds of this and sim ilar mild pain killers were pro duced, the greater part of this supply presumably passing over drugstore counters. Running a close second were the sulfa drugs, chemical factories pro ducing nearly six million pounds. This represented a gain of 1,400,000 pou-'ds in a year, the increase be ing attributed to war demands. Wholesale return from the sulfa drugs was placed at 20 million dol lars. Vitamin production amounted to 2,900,000 pounds, according to the report, with a total valuation of about 50 million dollars. The report also shows that chem ical factories turned out 18 million pounds of perfume and flavoring substances, exclusive of those per fumes extracted directly from flow ers. The demand went up about 10 per cent in a year. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAYI ichool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.

PAUL IN ATHENS AND CORINTH LESSON TEXT—Acts 17:22-28a; 18:1-4; 7 Corinthians 1:22-25. MEMORY SELECTION — For other foun dation can no man lay than that is laid which is Jesus Christ.—I Corinthians 3:11 *016(1 in 1950’ Sign Shocks Visiters to Wisconsin Cemetery DOUSMAN, WIS. — “John H. Aplin, born 1865, died 1950.” This inscription on a gravestone in the local Ottawa cemetery invariably shocks visitors. To John H. Aplin, 71, who lives in nearby Eagle, Wis., however, there is nothing particularly amiss about the inscription. When his wife died last January, Aplin, a carpen ter, had a monument erected and told the tombstone cutter to put his name on it too. When asked about the date, he said, “Put down 1950. It doesn’t make any difference if it’s a few years one way or the other. There probably won’t be any one to take care of it when I die, so I might just as well do it my self.” The monument, as a result, bears this inscription: “Alice Aplin, born 1865, died January, 1946. John H. Aplin, born 1865, died 1950.” Aplin has established a reputation as an individualist around Eagle. One of the favorite stories about him concerns the old schoolhouse. When a wrecker tore down the old building, he found a whisky bottle between the walls. In the bottle was a note saying, “We drank the whisky, John Aplin and Stewart.” Brings High Bid KANSAS CITY, MO. — A jar of regular plum preserves with a spe cial label brought a high bid of $2 at the Woman’s City club annual harvest festival.

Teacher Gets Cigars But Sighs for Apples CHICAGO. — Ex G.I. freshmen at Loyola university make Prof. Paul S. Leitz yearn for the good old days in the teaching profession. Then, apples for the teacher were in vogue. “I could eat those,” he says. “Now hardly a week goes by that I don’t get at least eight cigars from freshman veterans who have just become fathers,” he explains. His complaint: He doesn’t smoke. AVIATION NOTES SMALL TOWN BOON Use of the helicopter for air mail service, already tested by the post office department, is expected to prove a boon to rural and urban areas by linking small towns and cities located off the routes of sched uled airlines. By co-ordinating transport time tables with postal schedules, heli copter service will afford speedier delivery of goods and faster com munication with communities which must rely on the rural letter car rier. Postal officials are gathering facts to be submitted to Civil Aeronau tics board for guidance in passing upon applications of proposed heli copter operators. • • * “I loved it, every bit of it!” That was the endorsement of flying given by Mrs. Mary Wooten, 81, when she stepped from a Pan American World Airways plane in Los Angeles after a flight from Auckland, N.

This represents an in crease of five planes over the Au gust total. Aircraft engines delivered for mil itary planes totaled 220 in Septem ber, of which 88 were jets. Deliveries of jet fighters to army air forces increased by 27 during the month with delivery of 57 planes. Fifty-six conventional engineer fighters were delivered to the navy, which is building up its carrier complements of late-type fighters. Three light bombers and three me dium bombers also were delivered to the navy. Acceptances of military planes for the first nine months of the year now total 800. Production schedules call for 1,600 planes for the year. * * * Flying schoolma’rm is the title conferred on Mrs. Earl Hallock, who teaches 11 chil dren in the rural one-room school on North Bass island near Sandusky, Ohio.

Airlines bearing 35 flags now provide serv ice to more than 200 countries, colo nies and dependencies and there is keen competition to see who shall first establish a complete round-the- world schedule. The world’s air fleets, however, are still in a transit tional period. History repeats itself, in spiritual things as well as in secular events. The experiences of Paul at Athens and Curinth are peculiarly applica ble to our day, for here he encoun tered the very problems which face (and have apparently stopped) the church today. The cities were not far apart in miles, and they were both pagan, but they differed widely in their cul tural and commercial development. Athens was the home of a godless culture. Corinth was a prosperous commercial center known through out the world for grossly licentious living. What did the gospel accomplish in such cities? We shall soon see. I. Godless Intellectuality Meets the Gospel (Acts 17:22-28a). Paul was alone in Athens. He had been separated from his com panions Silas and Timothy (Acts 17: 14), and was to await them at Ath ens. While he waited he looked the city over and found it wholly given to idolatry (v. 16). This was no idle observation of a scientific mind, for it caused Paul’s spirit to stir in him. It is a bad sign when a pro fessed Christian can live in the pres ence of sin and false worship and not be deeply moved by it. Paul did something about it! He went into the great daily gatherings of philosophers and gave them some solid Christian philosophy to work on. They were curious to know more, and when the opportunity arose, Paul preached the sermon or Mars Hill. He found them superstitiously re ligious, but religion does not save. They even feared lest they had for gotten some god, so one altar was “to the unknown God” (v. 23). This gave Paul his opportunity, for he declared the one true God—unknown to them—as the answer to their question. The intellectual felt superior and j had an idea that God needed him, a kind of snobbery which is as cur rent in 1946 as it was in Foul’s day. How effectively he disposed of that attitude appears in verses 24 and 25. They needed God, and without him they could not draw a breath! Moreover, the pagan intellectual then as now would swell with pride as he thought of the race and people to whom he belonged. They were superior—a master race. Paul declares God’s truth that all men are of one blood, and that the na tions are in his hands (v. 26). What they had to do, and what the godless intellectuals of our day need to do, is to seek God in humble repentance and faith; then lives can become fine and noble and useful (vv. 27, 32-34). II. Sophisticated Immorality Meets the Gospel (Acts 18:1-4). To Corinth Paul came (evidently still alone) without friends or funds. Like all well-bred Jewish boys, he knew a trade. He was a sail mak er and tent maker. Rather than have the ungodly men of Corinth hinder his preaching by the criti cism that he was doing it for mon ey, he supported himself. The minister who is eager for rich financial return, and who is willing to accept the gifts of the ungodly that his work may prosper, has closed the door for his testimony to many who do not believe. In fact, one wonders whether he has any real testimony to give. In this wicked city, given over to vice and fleshly pleasure, Paul made his way to the synagogue and began to preach Christ. He rea soned and persuaded and won some for the Lord as he continued with then ur a year and a half (Acts 18:11,. Paul’s letter to the Corinthians reveals the struggle of the believers at Corinth to maintain moral stand ards and spiritual warmth in such a city, 'but it also clearly indicates that the gospel of Christ is “the power of God unto salvation to ev eryone that believeth” (Rom. 1:16), even in the midst of sin and cor ruption. III. The Gospel Meets Sin—and Is Victorious (I. Cor. 1:22-25). The wisdom of this world—for which Athens stood in a special way —becomes foolish in the eyes of men, as it is already in the sight of God, when it stands up against the gospel (read vv. 18-21). The preaching of the cross, which looks foolish to the worldling (v. 23), is the wisdom and the power of God, and by it men are saved. Whether Jew or Gentile, whether seeking signs or wisdom, whether “up-and-out” by way of pagan iniellectualism or "down-and-out” by way of immorality—no matter what man’s race, or his problem— the answer is in the gospel which we are privileged to teach and preach, for it is the gospel of “Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God” to all who are called by him. Turkey and Trimmings Should Be Prepared, Served Simply Let the turkey take the spotlight on Thanksgiving Day by using sim ple garnishes for the platter. Pars ley and spiced fruit adorn this lus cious golden brown bird. If we are really to keep the Thanksgiving tradition as we under stand it, the ta ble should be heaped bountiful ly with good, wholesome food, well prepared and served fam ily style. This is truly one of the big occasions in our country, and the table should have tasty, well- cooked food in keeping with the idea of harvest. It’s true that cooking during Thanksgiving time means plenty of fussing, but it’s not the kind of food that looks fussy after it gets on the table, if you can understand what I mean, and I’m sure those of you who hgve participated in big Thanksgiving reunions in the past do know just what I’m talking about. Perhaps the menu doesn’t change much from year to year, but that’s one of the beauties of the day. We don’t have food like this at any oth er time, so it never becomes tire some. Since the dinner‘involves so much preparation, I’d suggest that you try to make it as easy as possible by taking some shortcuts. By that I mean don’t leave everything to be done for Thanksgiving Day, or you’ll be too tired to enjoy yourself. Have son or daughter help in making the mince and pumpkin pies and picking the pin feathers out of the turkey. They’ll really enjoy it, and they’re a wonderful help. There are other things which may be done on the day before Thanks giving, and these include making the cranberry sauce or jelly, pre paring the vegetables, the turkey stuffing, etc. On the day of the big event, you have but to pop the big bird in the oven, probably about breakfast time if it’s a large one, so as to be ready for mid-afternoon. Rolls can be shaped from refrigerator dough made the day before and al lowed to rise, and last minute things such as vegetables and salad can be taken care of while the dinner is on its way. If you feel rushed making beds and giving the house a onceover, set up a breakfast table buffet style in the kitchen or breakfast nook and let everyone help themselves. This will leave you free for setting the table, etc. •Turkey Tips. Turkeys usually weigh from 7 to 20 pounds. Allow % pound of tur key to each per son. Clean thor oughly.

LYNN SAYS: Make Yonr Stuffings Savory Stuffing may add new richness to the bird, or it may counteract the fatness of the bird simply by what you put in it. If you like a moist dressing, use liquid with the bread crumbs, but if you prefer the dress ing just barely moist, use only fat for moisture. A one-pound loaf of bread yields about 8 cups, of crumbs. Use one cup of stuffing for each pound of bird. Rice, bread and nut stuffings are rich; fruit stuffings are tart, so choose whichever you prefer. Chestnut Stuffing: Boil and peel 1% pounds of chestnuts, then chop coarsely. Decrease bread cubes 214 to 314 quarts and add the chestnuts. Fruit Stuffing: Omit onion in recipe, decrease bread cubes by 114 cups and add 1 cup coarsely chopped apples, primes or apricots. Mushroom Stuffing: Cook 1 cup sliced mushroom with the fat and add to the bread cubes.
