t THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. FICTION Cotnev Y OU can’t make fast moves when handling bees, so a beeman learns to be slow and careful no mat ter what happens. 1 remembered that the day I stopped by Oakknoll ranch and found a stranger sitting In the farmhouse kitchen and watch ing Emmy prepare a fat fryer. Now I’ve been in love with Emmy since she was 16. The 10 years that ha’ j passed since then have changed her so little that if I were buzzing ar -und looking for something sweet, I'd still pick Emmy. The western sun slanting through the window made a halo of her fair hair and her face was flushed from the hot stove. She waved a floury hand as she popped a drumstick into the put tering grease. “Hello, Bill,’’ she said. “I want you to meet Fuller Launson. He’s bought the Hall place and is raising horses. Where'd you come from?” “Sierra foothills," I answered, “I’m taking my bees down to Red lands to pollinate the Farland or chard.” “Bill has a pollinating service,” Emmy explained. “Arsenic sprays kill so many bees that orchardists pay him to bring his hives, so the trees will bear fruit.” “I see,” Launson said, the wisp of a black mustache over his thin lips barely moving. I couldn’t make up my mind whether he was one of those rob ber-bees that steal honey from an other hive or whether he was a drone that lets the workers sup port him. He had black eyes and a waspish face. And there was con tempt in the way he looked at my swollen hands that mighty near put me in a stinging mood. I can’t bother with gloves when I’m hand ling beehives all the time. I asked about his horses while Em my cooked supper, but he seemed to resent my dropping in and wouldn’t say much. However, he admitted that his old man had plenty of money and thought that since Fuller Laun son wasn’t much good in his busi ness, he might as well try to raise 'horses. Now Emmy has a heart as big as a six-super hive and she’s always feel ing sorry for queer characters. She never talks much about herself, but she's a good listener. Still I couldn’t figure what she saw in Launson, ex cept that he had a college degree and she respects education. I could have told Launson other things about her. She’s been lonely since her folks died, however, so if she found him good company, that was all right with me. A beeman learns not to disturb the queen unless he has to. After supper I had to leave to get hives set up in the fields of the Red lands orchard before sun-up. Laun son showed no signs of swarming, so I guessed he planned to visit a while longer with Emmy. But a beeman doesn’t jump to conclusions. As 1 say, he learns to be slow and care ful. It was two weeks before I got back to Oakknoll again. Launson sat in the same chair, as if he hadn't moved in all that time. He didn’t seem real friendly, and acted bored when I asked about his horses. Well, supper didn’t go so well that night. Emmy treated me as she al ways does, but Launson sulked as bees do on a rainy day when they can't gather pollen. After supper, Launson said, “there's a good movie in town. Like to go, Emily?” She started shaking her head, but I spoke up. “You go right along. I’ve been driving nights and working days until I’m too wore out to be fit company for anyone. I’ll just catch a few SLOW AND CAREFUL By JOHN SCOTT DOUGLAS winks on the sofa and push along about 11.” “Oh, Bill,” Emmy said anxiously, “do you have to work so hard? You haven’t an ounce of flesh!” “No money’d keep me driving this way,” I admitted. “Now that the war’s over and we got to help feed the world, we need bigger fruit crops. weak chin would hurt my swollen hands much. I decided not to try it, “Lauson,” I said, “I’m putting some hives out under the trees here. If you ain’t afraid of bees, I want you to give me a hand." When I came inside later to wash up, Emmy was just putting the last steaming dishes on the table. Well, supper didn’t go as well that night. Emmy treated me as she always does, but Launson sulked as bees do on a rainy day when they can’t gather pollen. But the spring pollinating is almost over and soon I can take it easier.” “Not here, I hope,” Launson said unpleasantly, when Emmy went into the bedroom to get her hat. I knew then how bees feel when you shake their hive on a cold day but I was too tired to argue. I was asleep before they drove away and the alarm-clock awakened me be fore they returned. It was nearly a month before I could get back. When I drove past the old Hall place, it looked like Launson hadn’t given his horses much care. He stepped out of the house after I’d stopped the truck, and spoke as if he owned Oakknoll. “You back?” “Yep,” I said. “Just in time for supper.” “I didn’t know Emily was expect ing you,” he snapped. I wondered whether Launson's “Where’s Mr. Launson?” She asked. “Last I saw of him,” I Said, tuck ing in my napkin, “he was running toward his house with a veil of bees trailing behind him. He dropped a hive he was carrying and Instead of backing away slow and careful like, he began swatting bees. They kind of resented it.” Emmy didn’t say anything for a minute. “I’m glad he’s gone,” she said, and smiled. “I’d have told him things before, but I get so lonely when you’re away. Bill. What made him drop the hive? “I guess something I said startled him. You see, he’d just advised me to move on, saying I’d never get any where with you, Emmy.” “The idea! What’d you say to that, BiU?” “Why, .1 told him he was crazy— that we’d been married 10 years.” YOU CAN’T BUN AWAY One of my younger friends, a man in whom I always have had con siderable confidence, did something last week that caused my confidence to be shaken. I’ll tell you about it. When the /pressure in a job he has held for two or three years became too great, he quit. "I am going to pull stakes and go to another town,” he told me. “I just couldn’t take it any more.” I say that my confidence was shaken. What I mean is this, that whenever anyone tries to run away from a crisis, a situation, a condi tion or himself, he’s doomed to fail. Yet every day you see someone who is trying to run away from him self. Psychologists are very much interested in the roads which these runaways take, and one of their first considerations in evaluating a per sonality which is broken or unhappy is escape. You probably know that you live every day with a conflict raging in side yourself. Sometimes the con flict is subdued by a quiet sort of guerrilla warfare of the mind. At other times it reaches the battle 'Glace jVoti c du)u>ef/ B Y FAITH 1 drink the water in my cup* 1 breathe the air and trust that it is pure t The bread I break at evening as I sup I take believing that the loaf is sure To be quite clean. At night I go to sleep - And journey through a strange and darkened land. With confidence that God has power to keep His never-failing hold upon my hand. By faith I rise to meet my busy day.

By faith I go Trusting in God and in my fellow-men. And if at times that silver fire bums low. It never fails to lift and bum again. point. Only rarely is there total peace. — When this conflict becomes too formidable, too threatening, you do the obvious thing—you try to run. That seems to be the thing to do, but often the escape is worse than the conflict—and more lives are damaged by these escape or fight mechanisms than by any one thing. Maybe you’d like to have me tell you very briefly about the various escape routes that the mind follows when things get too hot. They are 13. First comes regres sion, which means to go backward, do childish things. Then comes ex troversion—that means to turn to excessive activity to cover up the conflict. The opposite of that is in troversion—to think excessively, to dodge real issues. Rationalization is to indulge in false thinking, while segregation is not to let your right hand know what your left hand is doing. When you practice repression, you forget unpleasant things; and when you disassociate, you pass the buck. Sometimes you resort to conversion —that means to have a breakdown or illness in place of a conflict. Dis placement is to worry over one thing when another is to blame, and pro jection is to attribute your own faults to others. Another escape is called identifica tion; that means to form phantasies. When you follow compensation, you overdo some particular thing in order to overcome your inadequacies. The final escape route is the only one which is wholeheartedly recom mended. It is called sublimation— that means to turn the effect of the conflict into some useful channel SCRIPTURE: Ezekiel 1—4; 39:1-9. DEVOTIONAL READING: Psalms 137:1-6.

Protein is one of the most essential protective elements in the human diet, say extension service nutritionists. Foods which contain protein — meats, eggs, milk, cheese—are high in cost, but they must not be left out of the diet. Cheaper cuts of meats, meat stretchers, egg dishes and cheese dishes will help supply the body’s need for protein. Other sources of protein are soybeans, dried beans and peas. These vege tables come nearest to meat, eggs, milk and cheese as body builders. They also contain Vitamin B1 and iron. For homemakers not familiar with i the soybean, this information is of- j fered: “Soybeans contain protein of j high quality, similar to animal pro» tein. They can be used in place of meat in the diet. Soybeans are good sources of usable iron and other mineral, such as calcium, phos- | pherus, as well as an excellent j source of vitamins of the B-com- j plex. Fresh, green soybeans are j rich in Vitamin A. They are high in , fat, and sprouted soybeans ar» a useful source of Vitamin C.” T HIS quarter we study the Cap tivity and Return of the Jews, using the Books of Ezekiel, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Haggai, Zechariah and Ma- lachi. Sunday’s les son is found in Eze kiel 1-4 and 33:1-9. It would be well for us to read again the history of this most interesting man Ezekiel— how he came to be among the cap tives by the river Chebar. He is one of the most attrac tive personalities in the Old Testament — a man of sur passing culture and charm—and yet enabled to “sit where they sat.” * • • A MESSENGER OF GOD I^ZEKIEL could never have adapt- ed himself to the role of minis tering to the captive slaves apart from the knowledge that’he was the messenger of God — the messenger of God’s hope to broken, beaten souls. God spoke to his people throngh Ezekiel. He speaks to his people today through chosen messengers —parents, teachers, the Bible, the Holy Spirit. God may be speak ing to you today. * • • HEAR YE THE WORD E ZEKIEL'S approach to the Jews in captivity was by the author ity of God’s direct message to them through him. Ezekiel was faithful to God’s appointment and mission. He knew that what he had to say to the Jews meant their hope of re lease and return. He studied their plight. He studied their mood. And then he spoke to them. But not only did he speak to them, telling them what God wanted them to know, but he moved among them. He loved them. He had God’s message, and he went in God’s mood of compassion. We cannot help people until we un derstand them and love them. » GOD’S WATCHMAN E ZEKIEL reminded the people that he had been sent from God as a watchman, and he told them what terrible responsibility was upon him in warning them to re pent and return unto God. Read Eze kiel 33:1-9. If the watchman faithfully warns the people, and they refuse to heed the warning, their blood will not be on his hands; but if he fail to warn the people, their blood will be on his hands. Here is a lesson for every teacher and preacher and parent today. And in this same 33rd chapter, Ezekiel goes on to declare God’s attitude toward all sinners. “Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live —turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die?” » • • A WATCHMAN UNTO EXILES *«QON of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel,” Ezekiel 3:17. This was the explicit commission of God to Ezekiel. And grandly did Ezekiel accept and execute to the limit of his ability that commission. The Jews were far from their be loved home. They were driven by hard masters. They could not sing the song of the Lord in a strange land. They had hanged their harps on the willow trees. With a sensitive soul, Ezekiel comes to them with the word of hope. He reminds them of the goodness ,and mercy of Jehovah to their fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He lifts their droop ing spirits with clear and ringing words of promise. He pleads with them to confess their sins and claim the pardoning mercy of a loving God. He used numerous means of gain ing their attention — symbols of their former communion with God. Patiently he traced the dealings of God with them and their fathers before them. They listened, and all who heed ed the pleas of the faithful watch man were saved and restored to faith in the goodness and mercy of God. We, too, are watchmen among exiles. Let us learn the high art of Ezekiel in our ministry as watch man. The churches will fail if the les-; sons of Sunday are forgotten on Monday and are laid aside for spe- i cial observance on only one day of l the week. — Wayne Morse, U. S. 1 senator from Oregon.

Soup Favorite Dish For Every Weather; Here's How It’s Done Soup is an easy way to have lunch quickly for youngsters who come home to eat. Soup may be made ahead of time, reheated and served easily with sandwiches or salad for a well-balanced lunch. Soup making is one of the old est of cooking arts known to tjie homemaker, and though we do not serve it as often as did our ances- tojrs, a fragrant bowl of soup on a brisk cool day has lost none of its charm. We like soup for many reasons. First of all, there’s its delicious aroma and its good, filling qual ity- If your serve a hearty soup, you need little else with it, per haps just a salad and light des sert. Soups are especially noted for nourishment. Meats and vege tables they have plentifully; and if it’s a cream soup you are serv ing, well, that’s an easy way to get milk and cream into the diet. Soup is a good filler-upper if you feed a hungry crowd of men who work out-of-doors all day long. It’s also a good stimulant for thhe appetite. Soups made with quantities of milk are especially fine to serve for luncheon if you have children. They’re easy to make and you don’t have to worry if the young sters are a little late in getting home because soup is easy to keep hot, and will not spoil with a bit of extra cooking. CREAM OF CORN SOUP 1 quart of milk 1 No. 2 size can of cream style corn 1 /2 cup chopped onion V/z teaspoons salt 1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 tablespoons cold water Yz teaspoon paprika Yz teaspoon pepper Combine milk, corn, onion and salt. Cook in a double boiler for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and force through a strainer. Add cornstarch dissolved in water. Return to double boiler and cook for 5 minutes. Add pepper and paprika. Top with croutons or popcorn, if desired, and serve. CREAM OF PEA SOUP (Serves 6) 2 cups canned peas Yz cup finely chopped onion 2 tablespoons fat 2 tablespoons flour 2 cups rich milk V/z teaspoons salt Yz teaspoon pepper LYNN SAYS: How to Serve Soup: If you are serving a thin soup, the proper dish is a two-handled cup of some sort. This is used because it is quite correct for people to lift them up and drink the soup. Hearty soups such as chow ders are served in soup plates, bowls or marmites. Never serve a chowder as a first course be cause it is much too heavy a soup for this type of eating. Cream soups may be cor rectly served as a first course, as our thin soup, but do not make the servings too gener ous or the remainder of the dinner will go begging. If the soup is to be served hot, it must be piping hot. Make sure the family is ready to come to dinner before dish ing it out. Chilled soups are good on warm nights, and may be served in the two - handled dishes suggested above. Accompaniments for soup should be small and dainty, at tractively served on small plates with doilies. LYNN CHAMBERS’ MENU Ham and Asparagus Rolls Hollandaise Sauce Paprika Potatoes Carrot-Grapefruit Salad Rye Bread Sandwiches Apple Turnovers Beverage Heat peas and liquid to boil ing. Remove from heat and force through strainer. Cook onion until golden in hot fat, then add flour and blend. Add milk and cook, stirring constant ly until smooth and thickened. Add peas and seasonings. POTATO SOUP, VIENNA STYLE (Serves 4-5) 2/z cups diced, pared potatoes % cup diced onion 3 cups boiling water V/z cups rich milk or cream 1 No. Yz 8' z c can of Vienna sausage, sliced 1 tablespoon butter V/z teaspoons salt Cook potatoes and onion in boiling water until tender. Rub potato mixture, including liquid, through a sieve. Add milk, sau- s a g e, butter and seasonings. Homemakers who have large families to feed will do well to make a large pot full of rich, deli cious soup stock. This can be done on an afternoon when you’re ironing or mend ing, so that you can look at the pot occasionally to see that it is kept simmering slowly for several hours. Then the stock can be served with dumplings, vegetables, noodles and rice, a different way for sev eral days. BROWN STOCK 5 pounds beef soupbone V/z quarts cold water 8 peppercorns 5 cloves 1 bay leaf 2 sprigs parsley 3 sprigs thyme 1 tablespoon salt Yz cup diced carrots Yz cup diced turnips 2 large onions, sliced Cut lean meat from the bones and brown % of it in the marrow taken from the bones. Place the rest of the meat and bones in A large kettle with the cold water and let stand for one hour. Add browned meat and all seasonings and bring to a boil. Reduoe heat and let simmer for 5 hours. Add the vegetables and cook V/z hours more. When cold, remove layer of fat that forms on top. In making meat and vegetable soups it is very important not to add water once the soup starts simmering. Soups such as chowders may be served at the table from a tureen. A salad and dessert com plete the meal and give hearty nourishment even though mem bers of the family may be engaged in heavy work. Fish chowders are hearty enough to serve with just a salad, preferably fruit, and a light des sert. Here is one made with cod that is truly delicious: FORTY-FATHOM CHOWDER 2-3 pounds fillet of cod, frozen Yu cup diced fat salt pork % cup sliced onions '2 cups hot water 2 cups sliced potatoes 2Yz teaspoons salt Dash of pepper 1 cup evaporated milk • 3 cups fresh milk Cut fillets of fish crosswise in 2-inch strips. Fry out salt pork in kettle until crisp and delicately browned. Add onions and saute slowly. Add water and potatoes and cook 5 minutes, or until pota toes are partially done. Then add fish and cook until it can be sepa rated into large flakes with a fork. Add remaining ingredients; re heat and serve. Released by Western Newspaper Cnlo* Fight Newcastle Disease A new advance in the efforts of veterinary science to meet the New castle disease threat to the nation’s poultry industry has been made. Close on the heels of a promising new method of vaccination against the disease, other research workers have discovered a “highly reliable” method for diagnosing Newcastle disease in chickens by means of blood tests. The new method is based on the effect of Newcastle serum and virus on the agglutina tion of red blood cells. Newcastle disease causes a combination of nervous and respiratory symptoms. Many of these are cha.acteristic of other poultry ailments. That is why diagnosis has been one of the great difficulties in coping with it.
