Postal Bates Boost
•THERE' IS EVERY indication
that this congress will boost
postal rates. The increase will
not be the figure which the post
office department has asked, and
because of the influence of big pub
lishers in the magazine field, it is
likely that some small newspapers
may stand the brunt of the increase
unless they take measures early
to build a back-fire with their con
gressmen.
There is no question bnt that
the post office department
should be granted an increase
in rates in most every class of
mail unless the taxpayers de
clare they are willing to cln-
tinue paying into the kitty for
a postal subsidy.
It seems to this reporter however,
that some of the big subsidies the
department is now paying, specif
ically to the airplane industry,
should be investigated by the con
gress. The cost of carrying mail
|on the railroads and the competi
tion of the express monopoly, all
should have a thorough airing be
fore the smaller users of the mail
service are penalized by a 50 to 100
per cent boost in the postal rates.

Correct Prediction
A reporter is even presumptious
to attempt to predict what may hap
pen in this new coalition congress,
but despite this, we pred’eted ap
proval by the Senate of Mr. James
Boyd, who has been serving for a
year without pay as director of
the U. S. bureau of mines. Ap
proval would come, for one reason:
that John L. Lewis did the one
thing that united the senate — he
called his mine workers out on
strike in opposition to the Boyd ap
pointment on the slim theory that
Boyd had never worked in a mine.
Fact is that John J. Forbes, a 35-
year veteran of the bureau and a
veteran miner, is chief of the di
vision of mine inspection and safe
ty. Also all 400 mine inspectors in
the bureau have had at least five
years experience in the bureau.
Lewis’ objection to Boyd, was pop
pycock. Mr. Boyd is an administra
tor and a scientist from the Uni
versity of Colorado and the health
and safety division of the bureau is
only a small part of his job which
includes research in metals, eco
nomics. statistics, metallurgy, ex
plosives and fuels.
How big is your business? If
you are doing tinder a half mil
lion gross annually you will not
be affected by the proposed min
imum wage increase to 75 cents.
As this is written that's the sit
uation of the minimum wage
bill as voted out by the bouse
committee.
Lucas Ineffective
Two figures have come out of the
filibuster which shot to pieces the
President’s program in this 80th
congress. One is handsome Sen.
Scott Lucas of Illinois, who failed
miserably as a leader of the admin
istration forces. It’ takes a rough
and tumble fighter the likes of Vice-
President Alben Barkley to stand
down there on the floor and do
battle. Senator Lucas, it struck
this reporter, was averse to get
ting his hair mussed and was more
intent on keeping his better profile
turned toward the cameras.
The other figure was that of
Sen. Allen J. Eilender of Lou
isiana, who reached the high
light of his senatorial career
when be proved that he could
stand on his feet, without
changing shoes, talk, without
help, longer than bis former
boss, the late Huey Long, of
Louisiana. Senator Eilender
was speaker of the Louisiana
bouse of representatives when
the late “King Fish’’ called the
lance and every politician in
Louisiana danced to his tune.
And ironically, Huey Long's son.
the 30-ydhr old junior senator
from Louisiana, sat and wit
nessed the Eilender talkathon.
Said Sen. Raymond E. Baldwin
of Connecticut one of my favorite
Republicans: “The previous con
gress has been called a do-nothing
congress. But if the 80th congress
had a housing problem to deal with
it was because a Democratically
controlled 79th congress, 78th con
gress, 76th congress, 75th congress
and 74th congress failed to deal with
it” If the Connecticut senator had
had second sight he would have
included the 81st congress
• • •
Two Disagreed
Sen. Claude Pepper of Florida
and Estes Kefauver .of Tennessee
were the only two southerners who
didn’t go along with the 23 Dixie-
crats and the 23 Republicans who
joined hands to wreck the Truman
campaign program. Said Senator
Pepper: “I know that in my part
of the country the first thing a man
does, if he gets rich, is to buy him
self a double-breasted suit, and the
next thing is that he wishes he were
• Republican.”

Quick Meals
I F YOU’VE EVER come home at
five o’clock after an afternoon
of club activities, have you won
dered how to get - a roast on the
table and a meal cooked to com
pletion within the hour?
The solution to this problem lies
in cooking the meal in one oJ those
efficient utensils
known as a
pressure cooker
or pressure pan.
In an hour, and
in many cases,
less time, you
can have a
steaming hot
meal with meat,
vegetables and potatoes on the
table for a hungry family. All this
can be accomplished with no more
previous preparation than market
ing.
Foods cooked under pressure
cook quickly because the steam is
held within the utensil. Food values
are saved, too, so you can serve
more healthful meals to the family.
And, if you’re a busy homemaker,
you can save hours of time in the
preparation of foods which usually
take three or four hours to cook.
All of the recipes given today
use meats that take long cooking
time under ordinary circum
stances. Use the directions care
fully and follow the manufactur
ers’ directions for using whatever
kind of cooker you have.
• • •
THE RECOMMENDED pressure
for most dishes including meats is
15 pounds. Study your cooker to
see how this is obtained and main
tained.

Heaven Is Real
Easter Lesson for April 1?, 1949
WOMAN'S WORLD
Give Your Rooms Personality
By Making Mantels Decorative
By Ertta Haley
Dr. Foreman
there is. mail
H EAVEN IS just as real as Chi
cago. More so, because Chicago
will in time cease to be, while
heaven lasts forever. A few atomic
bombs, a whiff of
some new plague,
can make Chicago
vanish; but no
atomic bomb can
touch heaven. The
pity is, so few
Christians really be
lieve this. We can
get mail from Chi
cago, but who ever
heard of mail from
heaven?
Wait, though . .
from heaven, and you have it there
in your Bible. If you accept it for
what it is, the Word of God, then it
is the Word from heaven. To be
sure, it does not tell us much about
heaven. If you were actually tra
veling to Chicago, you would not
begin by studying a street-map of
that city. What you would need is
map of the roads between.
So the Bible is not a guide
book to the “City Four-square;”
it is more of a road-map to help*
us find the way between here
and there. Nevertheless, the Bi
ble does assure us that heaven
is real. v
Christians have many reasons for
believing in the reality of the future
life, and some of these may not be
in the Bible; but the best reasons
are there.
Jesus Believed It
W INIFRED KIRKLAND has truly
said that Jesus did not simply
believp in immortality; he lived it.
Jesus would never have called this
world or this life trifling or unim
portant. But all around, under and
over and through this visible worlcf
Jesus was aware of another. He
lived and acted as a citizen of both
worlds. He talked of life after death
—or for that matter, of his own life
before his birth—as calmly and na
turally as you would speak of next
week or next summer.
Christ Is Risen
M ANY PEOPLE feel it would be
easier to believe in the future
life is someone who had been across
the line of death would return
across that line to bring a message
from the beyond. So they attend
seances and they listen to table-
tappings and go through all manner
of weird performances in order to
get a word or two from someone
who has passed on.
But all the time we do have a
record of a Return. Indeed it la
The Return. We call it the
Resurrection. The message of
Easter is not summed up in
songs about some “Beautiful
Isle of Somewhere;” it is in
these three words: “Christ is
risen!"
He did not return in darkness, he
was not under the control of any
“medium," he did not make him
self known by ghostly hauntings. He
was seen at supper-tables, he spoke
to his friends on a mountainside, he
came to fishermen on a spring
morning by a lake shore. The ear
liest Christians doubted some
things; but few doubted that the
Lord was risen indeed.
Heaven Begins With God
T HE CURE for the troubled heart,
Jesus said, is faith in God. One
of the strongest reasons for believ
ing that the future life is real, is the
nature and character of God him
self. Jesus said as much once, in an
argument with men who did not
believe in immortality: “God is not
the God of the dead, but of
the living.” If we were God’s
paper dolls or toy soldiers, he might
weary of us as a child wearies of
its toys, and sweep us all into de
struction without a moment’s
thought. But if we are truly his
children, then when life’s evening
comes, he will call his tired child
ren home.
Eternal Life has two sides,
the beaven-side and the earth-
side. The church has never be
lieved that simple immortality
is the same thing as the heaven
ly life.
A Judas, when he dies, goes (as
Peter sadly said) “to his own
place.” A Judas carries out his own
hell with him. But a man like Paul,
or any Christian who has been at
home with God here on this earth,
when at last death comes, will, as
Whittier said:
“Find himself by hands fa
miliar beckoned
Unto his fitting place.”

J UST AS A WOMAN completes
her costume effectively with a
dramatic hat, so should a room be
punctuated with at least one fea
ture which draws the eye and
creates a favorable impression.
If you are the lucky owner of
a mantel or fireplace in your liv
ing room, then strive to make this
the exclamation point for the room.
One of the most common faults
in decorating a place which ama
teurs make is the lack of effect.
They’re afraid to do something
just a bit startling which would
serve to give a room interest and
personality.
The thing to do, then, is to be
daring and willing to try out sev
eral ideas which might do the
trick. Study the room from dif
ferent angles; consider the light;
take notice of the furnishings; and,
above all, try to reflect your in
terests and hobbies in decorating..
Use Imagination
Instead of Stereotypes
If many of us think of a mantel
as a shelf with a mirror with two
pots of ivy carefully placed on
either side of it, then it’s no won
der. Such has been the tradition
al and over-used decorative effect
employed for mantels from coast
to coast.
Such stereotypes are no longer
considered good taste or fine de-

sign. Mantels are now seen as
something which guests will ex
claim about and which the home
maker can look at several times
a day and purr with contentment.
Are you interested in old prints
or reproductions of fine paintings?
Perhaps you have clipped out sets
of attractive pictures which may
be framed. All these reflect your
taste and interest, and are natural
to use in the room.
With appropriate furnishings.
Have the prints matted against
a color that picks up the most
dominant tone used in the room.
Hang them above the mantel in
three rows of four pictures each,
or in another suitable arrange
ment. How pleasing this will
look! Think, too, of the conversa
tions it can create while you en
tertain. You’ll be well pleased
over what the imagination can do.

Is your husband interested in

Be Smart!
Newest role assumed by the
star of the new season, soft
silk scarves, is that of gilet
or .blonse front. The gossamer-
textured scarves are pulled
through a close-fitting neck
lace with ends worn in a side-
bow effect or as a Jabot frill
underneath the chin. This is as
effective in contrasting dark
colors or sombre colors, the
latter very new, as in a print.
Newest print whimsy is the

other decorations at that particu
lar point. Then the men may gath
er around the mantel where you’ve
arranged comfortable chairs and
discuss their hobby with map con
veniently at hand.
Do. you yourself like collecting
quaint antique pieces? An old oval
gilt mirror can be painted in
modern colors, if that is the type
of room you have, then placed on
the mantel. If you can find old
crystal candle brackets to go on
either side of the mirror, the ef
fect is complete.
Mantel Cupboards Ideal
H You Collect
Do you collect interesting 'pieces
of china', rare glass, pottery or
knick-knacks? These would be
very attractive in a mantel cup
board which can easily be built
or hung on the wall.
Many of the new homes may
even have a built-in set of shelves
above the mantel, and this offers
an ideal place for showing your
hobby.
If you have a lot of small items
which you like to show, it isn’t
too hard tc build a what-not over
the mantel. Small items may be giv
en the proper background by build
ing or buying a mirror-backed shelf.
This may have glass doors, too.
A French provincial room or one
in Early American can use a per
iod what-not over the manteL
Porcelain figurines, assorted bot
tles, colorful pottery or miniature
copper or brass pieces are set
off to good advantage on it.
Here’s How to Use
Too-Small Mirrors
In rooms in which you want to
create an illusion of size, a mirror
is quite acceptable over the man
teL But what happens when your
particular mirror is too small for
the space? This problem is easily
solved by placing attractive prints,
framed simply, on either side of
the mirror. Two prints hung one
above the other, can look very
handsome indeed.
Just in case you are dissatis
fied with the mirror arrangement,
you might look for a clock in what
ever period the room is furnished.
Place this in the center and flank
with candlesticks.
For the modern room with a low
fireplace and no manteL have a
soft mantel light throwing con
cealed illumination on a large-
sized, severely framed picture.
Mantels May be Added
Easily to Rooms
Just in case you want a mantel
and have none, don’t despair.
Good stock mantels may be pur
chased. To keep down the ex
pense, put it up yourself or hire
somedfie while the season is
slack.
Bookcases and cupboards may be
fitted on either side of the mantel,
if you want to make this particular
wall the focal point of the room.
In this case, keep the mantel dec
oration very simple as you will be
using figures, plants and books on
the shelves.
Tongue and groove boards may
be placed above and around a man
tel with excellent effects If you
are dissatisfied with the wall as it
is. If the ceiling is poor, this is
good treatment, particularly with
a flat cornice and exposed rafters.
What about the brick mantel that
is so ugly as to be an eyesore?
This, too, can be covered with
tongue and groove boards, espec
ially when the mantel is too high.
Use simple moulding around the
fireplace and for the shell
Narrow shelves above the man
tels which are panelled are best
decorated with pottery that is
simple in feeling. Use large green
leaves as the plants in them, as
they are more simple.
Avoid a cluttered effect by keep
ing the decorative pieces to two or
three.
