» THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. Cotnev STREAK OF IRISH By GARTH R. SPENCER Russ Van Hosen was late but feel ing good, with the check from an other car sale tucked in his pocket. He walked in at the back door. Pat was stirring something at the cup board. She heard him, but didn’t glance around. Russ squeezed her shoulders and kissed her, then waited hopefully. Pat didn’t respond. After a minute Russ turned away and walked on into the living room. So Pat was still sore. Well, one thing was cer tain; the next peace move would have to come from her. He sat down and reached for the sport page. Golf was opening at the Wyaconda Sunday. Well, they prob ably wouldn’t go now; they probab ly wouldn't go anywhere. Lately, it seemed, they’d been quarreling all the time. It had begun this time as usual, with a quick sizzling flash of Pat’s Irish temper. One of those brief flash-ups which usually ended with little damage done. Only this one hadn’t ended yet; it was still drag ging on. Well, let it drag! Maybe by the time it was over Pat would have learned to keep that streak of fighting Irish temper down. Pat came in from the kitchen. "Russ Van Hosen,” she said sharply, “put that paper down!” “All right.” Russ knew what Pat wanted — to carry on from where they stopped last night. “I want to know,” Pat said tight ly, "just why you left the party with that Gertie Hale last night!” Russ’ jaw grew stubborn. “I told you: I went out to start her car, that's all.” "It certainly took you a good long time . . . Where was her husband —why didn’t she have him start it?” "I don’t know — he was some where around, I guess. Anyway, I had sold her the car.” "Yes,” Pat said, “two years ago —before I’d even met you. . .. Russ, are you getting a little tired of me?” Russ groaned. Pat knew better, of course. All she wanted was a row. Maybe he had spent too much time with Gertie, but what of it? What about Hal Kirk last week? Pat had asked him to stop over and see her on his way in to Chicago. Talk about old pals! "Well?” Pat insisted. Russ turned back to his paper. “I’ve said all I have to say.” Pat started to speak again, then stopped. Over the paper Russ saw her face tighten. “All right,” she said quietly. Russ watched her walk across the room and begin to climb the stairs. He listened, and after a mo ment he could hear her moving about in their bedroom above. Do ing what? he wondered. After ten minutes he went to the foot of the stairs and called. “Pat!” No answer. "Pat!” he called again. Pat was coming down the stair way; she had on her hat and coat. She carried her bag in her hand. "Pat,” Russ demanded, “where are you going?” “Why,” Pat answered coldly, “should you care?” Russ studied her face. She was bluffing, of course; threatening to leave. Well, two could bluff. “That’s right,” he said, "why should I?” "I’m going back to work for Hal, if you want to know." A little stab went through Russ’ heart. “Simply because of Gertie Hale?” "Not entirely. . . . Russ, we sim ply can’t go on fighting all the time.” “You know,” Russ said evenly, “I’ve been thinking that same thing.” Pat’s lips whitened again. “So that’s settled. . . . I’ll need some money,” she said. Russ took out his billfold. It held three fives and a ten. He offered her the bills. Without looking at them Pat shook her head. “That’s not enough,” she said. “I’m taking the next plane at the airport.” Russ was sure now that she was stalling, giving him a chance to beg Russ swallowed against the pain ful aching in his throat. What a fool! To think their little spats had mat tered — as if every couple didn’t have them during their first year. . . . Maybe even now, if he should call the airport— The clock struck ten, booming through the awful emptiness of the house. Russ grabbed the phone; the plane left at ten. Feverishly he dialed the number. “Airport? . . Listen, has the plane — It’s gone? The silence of the house beat against his ears. He couldn’t stand it here; he had to get out, do some thing. Russ started for the front door, then remembered it was rain ing. His raincoat was in the closet off the kitchen door. The closet was dark; his search ing arm knocked down a package, a long package that clinked as it THE I International UniJorin**^BBl UmiTl Sunday School Lemons 1 By IQttlE D. HEW,TOM, D. D, Russ took out his billfold. It held three fives and a ten. He offered her the bills. Without looking at them Pat shook her bead. her to stay. If he gave in this time he’d have to give in always. The stubborn lines of his jaw hardened. Taking the car check from his pock et he endorsed it with his pen. “This is on Conway & Company,” he said; "you can cash it anywhere in the state.” Pat’s cheeks went fiery red. Her voice was low, but it trembled. “Russ Van Hosen, I could murder you! Give me those bills and let me go!” Russ sal,, .othing. He watched her back the car out onto the drive. Not until then did full realization come over him. He had held firm; he had won a moral victory. But Pat was gone. Russ walked slowly back into the living room. He was still dazed, unable to believe it. Ten minutes passed, a half an hour. Then memo ries began to rise and choke him, a hundred memories of the swell times they’d had together— From that first day when they’d met at the golf course. They’d played together and he’d beaten her, in spite of the ribbing she’d given him over his mis-matched patched-up clubs. He’d been saving to buy a new set — but he’d bought her a ring instead.

He dragged it into the light. From Kirk’s Sport Shop, Chicago. It contained a set of perfectly matched clubs. So that was it! That was why she had had Kirk stop there. To get a present —for him. All these months, Pat had been scrimping on her clothes, pinching, saving— What a heel—WHAT A HEEL—he had been! A sound from behind startled him, the turning of a latch. He whirled. Pat stood in the doorway. Pat’s eyes were blazing; her cheeks were on fire. “Russ Van Hosen!" She stamped her foot, and it shook two bright tears out on her cheeks. “Russ Van Hosen, I COULD MURDER YOU!” “Honey,” Russ gasped. “Honey- girl!" “Don't honey me! For a half hour you’ve let me sit out there in the drive. In the rain! Waiting for you to come out and get me. But you wouldn’t. Oh, how I hate you! Instead you waited until I had to give in myself — humbling my pride ” Suddenly Pat’s voice broke. Her arms went around him. “Oh, Russ, I don’t care what you did. But say you love me—that you’ll always love me! . . . Because, I love you so!” Russ didn’t answer; he didn’t want to answer. All he wanted was the assuring feel of her in his arms. “Russ,” Pat was sobbing, “even while we were quarreling I loved you. If you could only forgive that streak of Irish in me—” “I can,” Russ said humbly, “if you can overlook a streak of stub, born Dutch.” Shoes Require Special Care in Wet Weather Shoes often suffer from wet weather. Once soaked they may never look as well or fit as com fortably unless they are properly dried and cared for. Extension clothing specialists say that wet shoes should be taken off as soon as possible. Leather is weak when it’s wet. Wearing wet shoes may pull them out of shape and cause breaks and other damage. Wet shoes should be stuffed with soft paper or absorbent cotton to take up moisture. Never use tension shoe trees because they may stretch the leather out of shape. Instead of drying the outside of shoes by rubbing, which may roughen the leather, pat with a soft cloth. When the inside moisture is absorbed, re move the stuffing and let the shoes dry slowly away from the heat. Fast drying with heat makes leather shrink, harden or crack. As the shoes dry, clean them with saddle soap. Follow this with a little sulfonated castor oil rubbed in by hand. This treatment keeps leather soft and pliable. Work or play shoes that do not need polishing may be softened and made to resist mois ture by rubbing them with beeswax, tallow, wool grease or petroleum jelly. Well-oiled shoes not only turn off moisture but also last longer. Outdoor work or children’s shoes may be softened after getting wet by rubbing them with warm — not hot — neat’s foot oil, castor oil or tallow. Leather soles can be made mois- ture resistant by setting the shoes in a pan of just enough warm oil to cover the soles. Let them stand in this 15 minutes, taking care not to get the heels in the oil, for oil rots rubber. SCRIPTURE: n Corinthians 5:20 to 6:10; Hebrews 11. DEVOTIONAL READING: Romans 12: 9-21. When We Work With God Lesson for January 25, 1948 D R A Dr. Newton E. STANLEY JONES was in Atlanta on one of his several visits, and some of us were asking him about his notable and unique experience as a missionary in the Orient. "If you had it all to go over, Dr. Jones, would you devote your life to the peoples of faraway Asia, or would you choose to live in America with its abundance of good things?” he was asked. Quick as a flash of light ning he replied: “If I had a thousand lives to give, they would all gladly go to the wistful souls of Asia.” Paul would have been enheartened in the day that he wrote II Corin thians 5:20 to 6:10, and Romans 12:9-21, to have heard someone talk as Dr. Jones talked that afternoon, for in our lesson for Sunday, Paul is summoning every Christian to the highest possible commitment to the will of God as we go forth in the task to beseech all men to be rec onciled unto God through Jesus Christ, who hath taken upon him self the iniquity of us all, “that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” • Thus we come to see the signifi cance and the meaning of the memory verse for Sunday’s lesson, “We are fellow workmen for God,” I Corinthians 3:9. PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH GOD D EAD Hebrews’ 11th chapter for a picture of some of the noble souls who really worked with God, by faith, as the writer delights to put it. Abraham, for example, “went out, not knowing whither he went,” but when he came to the end ot life’s day, he was account ed the friend of God. Moses, “choosing rather to suffer afflic tion with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt, endured as seeing him who is Invisible.” HOW WE WORK WITH GOD TT EAD again that eleventh chapter of Romans to discover how the men and women named there worked with God. Two words will quickly come to light — faith and obedience. They believed God, and they obeyed God. Junior boys and girls will do well to recall some of the heroes of history — men like Washington and Lincoln and Lee— and in every instance you will dis cover that they, too, believed God and obeyed God. Remember the story of Washington kneeling in prayer in the snow at Valley Forge? We cannot work with God unless and until we believe and obey him. “Can two walk together ex-“ eept they be agreed?” You can not please your earthly father un less you believe him and obey him. GOOD WORKMEN ESSENTIAL TX^E COME now to the deeper ’ ' implications of the lesson, re vealed in II Corinthians 5:20 to 6:10. ‘We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye re ceive not the grace of God in vain; but in all things approving ourselves in much patience, in afflictions. In distresses, in watchings, by kind ness, by love unfeigned, by the pow er of God. . . .” Here is the acid test of doing the work of an ambassador of Christ — we must first be fully committed to him before we can persuade others to accept him as Saviour and Lord. We shall not have better homes and better churches until we first have bet ter Christians. We shall not have better business until we first have better business men. And the only way by which we become good workmen is through the redeeming, transforming grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. JOY OF WORKING WITH GOD VXT'HY did Dr. E. Stanley Jones ’ ’ answer so quickly about giv ing a thousand lives to the benight ed, wistful souls of Asia? Because he had discovered the unspeakable joy of working with God in recon ciling men unto him. The largest, surest wages in this world is the ex perience of working for and with God. “What I kept, I lost; what I gave, I have.” Do you believe it? It is difficult to believe until you try it. Indeed, I would say that it is beyond ail imagination to grasp the mean ing of working with God. You have to take Christ at exactly what he meant when he said, “Come and see.” “When we walk with the Lord, in the light of his word, what a glory he sheds on our way!” Scientists Trace Human Ancestry Old Fossils of Dark Africa Probed for Data on Man's Origin. (Copyright by the I international Council of Religious Education on behalf of 40 Protestant denominations. Released by WNU Flatuses.) BERKELEY, CALIF. — Scien- tlsts poking through 40 million- year-old layers of earth in Africa believe they are getting close to the origin of man. Their search may lead them back 70 million years, and even then may not yield the final evidence, but their chances for throwing new light on human ancestry appear to be better than that of any previ ous expedition. They have probably the greatest aggregation of scientific know-how. manpower and equipment ever to tackle the fossil records of the dark continent. This is the University of Califor nia’s African expedition. It Is made up of 30 or more scientists and tech nicians, scores of native workers, army, navy and marine personnel, the navy tankers Aucilla and Ala- gash and nearly $500,000 worth of equipment. Digging in Desert. The expedition has the support of the Egyptian government; Marshal Jan C. Smuts, South African pre mier; Adm. Chester Nimitz, Rear Adm. Richard E. Byrd and Lt. Gen. James H. Doolittle. It has set up to sweep Africa for almost its full length, from Cairo to Johannesburg. The project got under way last fall. In the Falyum desert, 50 miles southwest of Cairo, one arm of the expedition is digging for addition al traces of the oldest anthropoid ape which lived about 35 million years ago. At Taungs, , near Johannesburg, another branch of the expedition is seeking fossils of a man-ape which lived somewhere between 500,000 and 1,500,000 years ago. The Faiyum party will move southward by truck and plane along the Nile river through the Sudan and Uganda to set up another headquar ters at Nairobi, Kenya Colony. Formations around Lake Victoria and Lake Tangyanyika will be worked and the party will move southward again through Rhodesia lo South Africa, joining the other arm near Johannesburg. The expedition will return to Berkeley some time this fall. Thereafter it will take months, perhaps years, to prepare the findings. Leads Expedition. Wendell Phillips is expedition leader. The northern arm now is seeking evidence which may orient the 35 million-year-old Faiyum ape, technically called propliopithecus, or some closely related form, into the direct lineage of man. Propliopithecus (pronounced pro- plio-pith-e’-cus) wits a small, primi tive ape with a jaw only about an Inch and a half long, but he had at least one manlike quality — his teeth had the same general struc ture as those of humans. He must have inherited that fea ture from his ancestors. Hence the scientists must look still farther back for the beginning of human evolution. Charles Daiwin, who .sponsored the theory that man and monkey had a common ancestor, believed this forebear of all primates lived in Africa in the Eocene period, about 70 million years ago. If Darwin was right, the Califor nians will have to dig deeper than the Oligocene period deposits of Faiyum to find the evidence. U.PhUHpr Bacteria Tamer to Remove Odor From Limburger Cheese CHAMPAIGN, ILL. — They’re go ing to take the smell out of lim burger cheese. Stewart L. Tuckey, University of Illinois professor of dairy manufac turing, announced a new scientific process to make limburger cheese taste good without smelling that way. “The outcast of cheeses doesn’t need to be spumed any more,” Tuckey said. "It can be deodor, ized." He promised that the new non smelling limburger cheese would be come an accepted dish in society for the first time since it was made In Limburg, Belgium, several cen turies ago. It will become one of the most popular dairy products, he pre dicted. Control of bacteria will do the job, Tuckey said. He explained that all cheeses are made with vari ous types of microscopic organisms. “Under the old system, we just put all kinds of bacteria in the cheese and some stunk up the place. Now we just put in the unsmelly kind,” he said. Pasteurized milk with 99.9 per cent of the bacteria removed, he said, will be used to make the new improved limburger. Couplo Gets Wrong Number; Just a Moving Day Tragedy INDIANAPOLIS, IND. — It was moving day for Mr. and Mrs. Wil liam F. Fulks. They moved, lock, stock and bar rel, put in light bulbs and had. a telephone installed in a newly built South Side home. The house numbers weren't all up along the row of new houses. That was the rub. They found they had moved into the wrong house. They belonged in the one next door. 0DR OWN REVIEW OF 1947 The year of 1947 was not bad and not good. Looking back it seems to have been a combination of suspen sions by Happy Chandler, federal probes, wild swings by Larry Mac- Phail, Big Four adjournments and appeals to the public to eat Tues day’s chicken pie on Thursday. Washington abandoned the gold standard and substituted creamery butter. Harry Truman got a spaniel when what he needed was a blood hound. •_ Elizabeth and Philip got married, thus lifting 1947 out of the complete flop class, putting romance, senti ment and love above spheres of in fluence, vindictive speeches and general hatreds. For a brief mo ment the world took the . shuttle back to Fairy Tale Heights. * Edward Pauley took a high federal office with the distinct un derstanding anything of importance would be kept from him. Elliott Roosevelt sold, for one dollar each, Christmas trees that his pop had planted years ago. This resulted in a nationwide wish that Elliott was in the meat and egg business. * Henry Wallace developed a type of corn never developed before by grafting an ear of hokum with the stalk of common native baloney. General Electric produced artificial snow. General Eisenhower devel oped artificial reluctance. General Marshall developed artificial hope and Marshal Stalin developed arti ficial logic. The all-hot went to 20 cents. A way was found to make hamburgers out of everything ex cept meat. * • Two young fliers flew around the world in one-motor airplanes but didn’t get much publicity due to the fact they didn’t crash. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, two oth er fliers, flew around a congres sional committee and crashed abruptly, thus getting more public ity than they desired. To jo said the Japanese war was his own idea and that the emperor thought it was a movie until the fighting had been on for two years. • The 1947 Oscar for Audibility went to Vishinsky, who at no time dur ing the 365 days of the year found anybody else even close to right.

The egg became a lux ury. More baseball pitchers were used in the world series than in any full season on record. Football was developed to a point where the var sity became obsolete and not even the officials could tell the players without a scorecard. • Everybody in Washington wrote a book. “Forever Amber” won the 1947 prize for unnecessary expense. Chick Luckman stepped on a cake of his own soap in Washington. A man acting strangely in the hills of the Ozarks attributed his condition to the fact he bad not been named on any list of wheat speculators. * Satira got 15 years from a Havana court which, after hearing the com plete battle story, evidently decided that responsibility for sinking the Maine had at last been fixed defi nitely. Henry Wallace promised a century of peace and plenty. It was quite a year. * • • Henry Does It Henry Wallace’s hat is in the ring. This gives America a preview of 1948 weird millinery. * WbiIe millions of Americans saw the New Year in right, Hank saw it in left. Henry has tried all the parties out for size and found them all too small for him. So he rolls his own. • No old-fashioned orthodox meth ods for him. He holds bis conven tion in a microphone, gets his dele gates out of the loudspeaker, pre sents his own candidacy, grabs the banner “Wallace Is for Wallace” and stages a stampede down thf aisles between foggy paragraphs. * He says he has traveled all over America “up and down and back and forth.” This Is the first use by any candidate of the pogo-stick with motor front and rear. • He takes his stand for abundance via radio hookups, peace through a wider use of sleeping tablets and security through the use of the blindfolds and the earlaps.
