THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. Tales of the Town: They were a couple of wild kids, and their marriage was made in heaven—like lightning. It happened over night. . . . Blase Broadway was even stunned by the news. Like impetuous kids they didn’t plan very far in advance, and when it came time to locate an apartment, they found themselves out in the cold. . . Imposing on the well wishes af friends, they drifted from v one fam ily to another. ... To bystanders it looked like the marriage would wind up on the rocks of Reno. . . . Then a strange thing happened. Her parents, who had disowned her when she wed the guy, suffered a change of hard heart. . . . “Come and live with us,” pleaded her mother. Her father still hated the new son-in-law out allowed him to move in. . . . Well, the marriage is OK now, and pretty soon they expect to have an apartment all their own. . . . Seems ner mother and father fought night ly over the new son-in-law, and now mom is Reno-bound! They were both names on Broadway. . . . Then they drift ed into other fields. . . . But he was so busy with his New York nite spot — and she with her magazine articles—that they be gan to see less and less of each other. . . . Came the inevitable. They split. . . . Didn’t see each other for years. Only recently he heard from her. . . . She was suing him and demanding a size able hunk of cafch. . . His hot spot, however. Is on the rocks. He is flat broke, and he told her so. . . . Now look what happens. Instead of collecting alimony, she is so touched by his pitiful plight that she’s seuding him a fistful of folding money each week to keep the sheriff from his door. She Is a high-salaried buyer for a department store. Been there for years. Well liked. . . . Came a strike, and all the sales help walked out. . . . The boss asked her if she would pinch-hit as a salesgirl until the strike was settled. ... As a personal favor she acquiesced. . . . Three days later she walked into the office with swollen eyes that told of sleepless nights. “I’m resigning,” she said. . . . “But look,” argued the boss, “you’ve been with us for years; we’ve paid you well. Cer tainly you can stick with us through this trouble.” ... “I want to,” came the tearful reply, “but for three nights I’ve been locked out of my home. My husband is a union of ficial, and he refuses to sleep under the same roof with a strike-break er!” The town’s booking agents are guffawing over this. ... A much disliked colleague is currently being sued because he borrowed several hundreds from a young assistant, got the guy fired and then refused to pay. . . . Came a letter from the lawyer the oth er day, and the booking agent furiously wrote back: “I dare you to take me to court over the 500 bucks I owe George. You haven’t any proof.” . . . And then the chump signed his name! . . . Sohelpmeh! Although the President has no in tention of running again, he will not officially announce it until the final moments, if at all.

GRANDMOTHERS ‘WHOOP IT DP’... When grandmothers, gathered in Chicago for their fifth annual convention, staged their “Now and Then” show. Grandmother Frances Stewart, complete with false beard, cut a few mean capers at the microphone during the hillbilly number. ‘LIFE BEGINS AT GO’ Grandmother Goes Modern, Convention Delegates Prove WNU Features CHICAGO—Granny has gone modern, 200 grandmothers, many of whom were rouged and well-manicured, agreed when they attended the fifth annual convention of the National Grand mothers club here recently. The typical grandmother, they insisted, has traded her rock ing chair and her knitting for a permanent wave and a job, and she even sips a cocktail now and then. Smart furs, bright dresses and feathered hats brought a touch of gaiety to the convention hall. One grandmother wore a purple dress, red hat and greeny- gloves. Her eyebrows were plucked and she referred to her white hair as “platinum.” Stage Follies Show. Highlight of the convention ses sions was a variety show, “Now and Then,” sometimes dubbed “Grand mothers Follies of 1946,” which was staged by an all-grandmother cast. Main interest was centered on a strip tease performed by Mrs. Collette Minton Collins and a hula number by Mrs. Bessie Simpson, a stout grandmother. Mrs. Lula Cooper, 65, grand mother of five and booked as the “last of the red hot mamas,” sang “I Want to Get a Man in My Arms.” “Sometimes I think we’re actual ly ahead of the times,” insisted Mrs. Grace A. Gray of Mitchell, Ind., club secretary. To prove her contention that “life really begins at 60,” Mrs. Gray has started rais ing race horses. At the convention session, however, she walked with a little difficulty — she had fallen off one of the horses the preceding week. Has 17 Grandchildren. As their identification badge, each of the club members wore a pin re sembling an army marksmanship medal, with a bar for each grand child. Mrs. Gray’s pin has only two bars but the one worn by Mrs. Ella Godee, Chicago, hung nearly to her waist, one bar for each of her 17 grandchildren. Many of the grandmothers are active in business, it was reported. Mrs. Blanche Brown of Niagara Falls, N. Y., grandmother of four, owns a 60-bed tourist camp. Mrs. Bertha D. Martin of Orlando, Fla., who has three grandchildren, is a book publisher, and Mrs. Bea Good, club president, owns four dance bands. White House Again Opened to Tourists WASHINGTON. — For the first time since the war, the White House has been reopened to tourists. Agita tion for the reopening has been noted since the war ended, and this fall wartime restrictions were re moved from the avenues flanking the White House, permitting traffic to pass freely. Tourists are permitted to browse around the ground and main floors of the building. On the first level are rooms exhibiting old china, fur niture pieces and books. The main floor consists of the historic East room with the huge crystal chan deliers, the state dining room and the “famous three” — the Green, Blue and Red rooms. Decision to reopen the White House was welcomed especially by operators of commercial sightsee ing establishments. “Why, we can sell a tour just on the strength of getting them in the White House,” a guide ex plained. U. N. HEARS HER PEACE PLEA . ./. Mrs. Stanley Schnelle, Gold Star mother of Olivia, Minn., had a young son who, at only 18, met his death on Okinawa after fighting in several major Pacific battles. In her grief for her lost son and for other “tired, weary boys” killed in World War II, Mrs. Schnelle wrote a plea for world peace to Francis Cardinal Spellman. The letter was read to U. N. delegates by Secretary of State Byrnes. Footlights and Spotlights: A Phil- ly newspaper took a street poll. It learned that three out of four quer ied passersby were on some sort of buyers’ strike. . . . The U. S. treas ury is out to clip the wings of B’way angels if their income tax halos aren’t on straight. . . . Several of the Broadway “Coney” spots have taken a beating. They may shave their prices on most machines. . . . Polit ical experts claim the GOP has come back to life. Or it may be the Repubs just look alive when com pared with the Demmys. Shortages Extend to Girls’ Names SYRACUSE, N. Y. — Postwar shortages have extended even to girls’ fir-t names, the father of a Liverpool, N. Y., baby girl insisted in returning a name form to the county unfilled. In an accompanying letter to Ber nard M. Mitchell, county registrar of vital statistics, the father wrote: “We have not named the child yet and have no reason for believing we will do so soon. The fact is we spent some time getting a name. The child turned out to be a girl and we could not use the name we spent so much trsuble getting. Times being what they are, short ages of everything — it will be im- "possible to get a name within a reasonable time.” Mitchell said it was the first time a supplemental name form had been returned without the neces sary information. Improved [SUNDAY International I SCHOOL LESSON-:- By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Of The Moody Bible-Institute of Chicago. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for December 8 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education: used by permission. PAUL ADMONISHES THE CHURCHES LESSON TEXT—I Corinthians 11:20-27: Romans 13:13, 14: Ephesians 5:18-21. MEMORY SELECTION—Let us walk honestly, as in the day.—Romans 13:13. Temperance is readily taught from the epistles of Paul for he was constantly moved by ‘he Holy Spirit to exhort the churches and individ ual Christians to a careful and worthy walk before God. In doing so he was not afraid to speak plainly about the use of in toxicants. Perhaps his brethren in the ministry today should consider him and take courage. Our lesson is a temperance lesson, and since some twist that word "temperance’’ to fit almost any kind of indulgence, we should like to quote a careful evaluation of It by Dr. W. R. White: I “Temperance is a seriously mis understood word. The best definition we know defines it as abstaining from that which is harmful, and using moderately that which is legit imate. We would not advise a man to be moderate in teasing a rattle snake. We would not tell him that it is all right to steal, lie or commit adultery just so he is temperate about it. We would not tell a man to use dope moderately. . . . We could tell a man to be moderate about eating meat or any other wholesome thing.” The only way to be temperate about liquor is to let it alone! I. The Wrong Way and the Right Way—in the Church (I Cor. 11:20- 27). There were a number of disorder ly things about the Corinthian church which needed correction. One of these concerned the Lord’s Sup per. A time which should have giv en them a blessed unity in fellow ship and love bad become Just the opposite. It was their custom to eat a so- called love feast before the sacra ment, and instead of making it a time of loving and sharing, the rich ate their sumptuous meals and let a poor brotner gnaw on a crust of bread. Then feasting led, as it so often does, to excesses. Some became drunken on the wine and even par took of the Lord’s Supper while in toxicated. We are not so much concerned with the Lord’s Supper in this les son as we are with the behavior of those who attended. Think of com ing to the holy table drunk! It seems impossible, and yet it hap pened. Do we not still let the poor in our midst shift pretty well for them selves? The rich flaunt their affluence and let the poor get along on their crust of bread. The church needs to renew its scriptural appreciation of what fellowship and communion really means. II. The Wrong Way and the Right Way—in the Community (Rom. 13: 13. 14). This chapter of the epistle to the Romans concerns the right behavior of the believer in his civic relation ships. He is a citizen of heaven, but he is also a citizen of the com munity in which he lives. The use of intoxicants which a generation ago was a shameful thing is now generally accepted. The home in which liquor was served was a disgrace; now “cocktail” is one of the first words children learn. What is the explanation? Is liquor any less destructive and demoral izing? Certainly not! Is it then true that people are more candid and open about what they do? No, it is rather that moral standards have slipped to the point where they are no longer ashamed when they should be, if they thought straight! Along with the liquor go all the things enumerated in verse 13. Oh, the awful depth of sex degradation, of plain ordinary indecency and dis honesty, of strife and envy. It is not a nice picture, but it is true. The right way is found in verse 14. It was reading these two verses in His mother’s open Bible that led Augustine to Christ. He saw and took the right way. Will others do likewise? III. The Wrong Way and the Right Way—in the Heart (Eph. 5:18-21). This is a personal matter. The man or woman who finds satisfac tion in wine wants the overcoming power of the narcotic influence to take away the sense of responsibil ity for life. It is a weak and hope less way to avoid facing reality. The right way is to let the Holy Spirit take full control of the heart and life. This is to be an experience of complete surrender, being “filled with the Spirit.” Does life then become drab and uninteresting? No, indeed! For the first time you will be really joyfuL That inevitably leads to thankful ness, a grace too little known and practiced. It is for all things at all times. Do not overlook that fact. Then too there will be a delightful attitude of consideration and re spect for one another (v. 21) and of devotion to God. uavstHOLv m Simple Dinners While talking to a young bride recently, she expressed a desire to team how to entertain nicely, but simply, because, as she expressed it, “I don’t know much about cook ing, but I do so want things to taste and look wonderful.” Well, that’s a problem all of us might give some thought to, every now and then. It’s a good idea to have some menus all filed away that we can rely on as being success ful both from the standpoint of be ing good to est and looking attrac tive. In case you’re in a sort of a rut about entertaining because of the past several year’s food difficulties, take yourself jp hand and look over our suggestions today. I’m all for simplicity in entertaining, especial ly if cooking and serving doesn’t come to one as easily as it seems to others. In that case, plan a sim ple menu, but carry it out well, and you’ll really get bouquets to go with it. Before company comes, and even before you start getting the dinner Itself, have the house, linens, table ware and cocking equipment in or der. Once this big worry is out iff mind, then you can concentrate on the cooking itself. Do everything you possibly can ahead of time, so too much won’t be left for the last minute. Make out a schedule of when things should go in the oven or when they should be put on the range. Be sure this is worked out in advance bo you won’t be worried that things Will not all be ready at thg same time. I’m going to give simple but fes tive recipes today because they will be easy for the novice to prepare, but just wait until you see how they look on the table. UMMMMMM! Start off with a minted fruit juice, as this is refreshing and will not take cooking. Chill citrus fruit juice before serv ing — pineapple and orange juice is a good com bination — and pour into dainty glasses. Add a few crushed mint leaves to each glass. Serve. Everyone is bound to like lamb chops and here’s a grand way to prepare those chops so they look like a roast: Mock Crown Roast of Lamb. (Serves 6) 6 frenched lamb chops Melted butter or substitute Salt and pepper Have the butcher french the lamb chops. Place them under mod erate broiler heat and broil 8 to 10 minutes on each side until they are well browned. Baste with melted butter as they brown. Sprinkle with salt and pepper just before remov ing frorti the broiler. Just before serving, pile a mound of fluffy mashed potatoes in the center of a platter. Stand the lamb chops around the mound of pota toes, as illustrated, patting them well into the potatoes so they don’t fall down. Arrange cooked slivered carrots around the 1 platter for the vegetables. Place paper frills, if de- LYNN CHAMBER’S MEND Pot Roast of Beef with Spiced Prunes Browned Potatoes Glazed Carrots Green Bean-Celery Salad Muffins Coconut Custard Pie Beverage sired, around the lamb chops be fore serving. There you have meat, potatoes and vegetable on one platter! Makes for easy serving, doesn’t it? The salad is exceedingly simple to arrange and goes well with the hearty main dish. It may be pre pared ahead of time on individual plates and placed in the refrigera tor. Arrange three spears of canned, chilled asparagus on ’lettuce leaves. Lay sliced cucumbers on each side and pour french or thousand island dressing across the center of the asparagus. If you want to serve attractive and dainty biscuits with the dinner, here’s an idea. Use a recipe for baking powder biscuit dough or get one of the good packaged mixes. Roll the dough out to %-inch thick. Spread with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. Roll as for jelly roll. Cut off one-inch pieces and place them, cut side down, in a baking pan. Bake for 15 to 20 min utes in a hot (400 degree) oven. Serve with jelly or jam, if you wish, or with just plain butter. A cake is really a simple des sert to have with this type of din ner because it eliminates last minute fluster. Prepare the cake the day before and frost before beginning to cook dinner. Orange Flower Cake. 114 cups sifted cake flour 114 teaspoons baking powder 14 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon grated orange rind 14 cup shortening 1 cup sugar 2 eggs, unbeaten 14 cup orange juice Sift flour, baking powder and salt together.

Add sifted dry ingre dients alternately with orange juice, in small amounts, beating thoroughly after each addition. Pour into greased cake pans and bake in a moderate (350 degree) oven for 30 minutes. This recipe will make two 8-inch layers. This cake may be frosted with a fluffy boiled icing and sprin kled with orange rind or garnished with orange segments. Whipped cream, if available, may also be used. Oi, if you prefer, an orange- flavored butter cream icing may be used with orange segments ar ranged on top. Orange Frosting. 1 scant cup sugar 14 teaspoon salt Pinch of cream of tartar 1 egg white 3 tablespoons orange and lemon juice, mixed Beat all ingredients together in top of double boiler until it stands in peaks.

LYNN SAYS: Suggestions for Hors D’Oeuvres: When you’re entertaining, make up a plate of simple appetizers to serve with chilled fruit or vegetable juice, and let your company get into a chatty, informal mood for dinner. Anchovy-Bacon Rolls: Lay flat strips of anchovy along a slice of bacon. Roll tightly, jelly-roll fashion, and fasten with toothpick. Broil until bacon is crisp. Remove the toothpick and insert a fresh one, and serve hot Lettuce Rolls: Use fresh, crisp lettuce leaves which have been washed and dried carefully. Spread with any softened cheese, well seasoned and roll for serving. Apple Wedges: Cut firm, red ap ple wedges into %-inch-thick slices, but do not pare. Cut each slice into three wedges and dip in pineapple or orange juice. Spread with soft ened cream or Roquefort cheese and garnish with cheese forced through a tube. Serve with tooth picks.
