THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. YANKS, CIGARETTES, BUMS AND BEER... Oils Skid, Garters Fall, Cathartics Fail ... FIGHT TO FINISH IN BIG LEAGUES By H. I. PHILLIPS MR. TWITCHELL ANALYZES #/T LOOK FOR the most exciting race in years in both baseball big leagues,” declared Elmer Twitchell, eminent sports fan, pi nochle player and antique nutpick collector, today. “If you wish my analysis, based largely on getting E ie games by radio and television, ere it is. Beer, cigarettes, the ‘Yanks, motor oils, Dem Bums and various breakfast foods will fight It out to the finish in both leagues, and any one of them can win. • * • "It has been a very good race so far, with the American league a little faster with the clear - cut commercials, bnt with the National league clear ly outclassing it with the more informal testimonials to popu lar products. I don’t recall a Today in a Troubled Hour [ "TODAY in a troubled hour I doubted God, And then was ashamed, For there came a voice through the dark ness, calling to me. That clearly named Those far-off times when I had cried aloud In my pain and grief, I Reminding me that unfailingly God’s hand Had brought relief; Bidding me wait and hope, bidding me trust Until I could see That he who had never failed, still will not fail... It comforted me As a mother comforts her ailing child, and my faith That had been so small Suddenly grew as the young com grew in the sun: Straight and tall. GRACE NOLL CROWELL baseball race when the appeals to radio fans to hurry to the icebox for a cold drink were done with such spirit and form. • • • "In both major leagues the boys who bat out the commercials were in there trying at all times and they rarely failed to come through in the pinches. The game, it seems to me, is much faster than it used to be. When I was a boy, a game would go on all afternoon with no reference to a cigar, a lubricant or a drink- Ibe emphasis seemed to be on garters and cathartics all via the old-fashioned billboards. Advertising as a handmaiden of the national game was minimized. You could take it or leave it. • . . “Today from the opening cry ' of ‘Play Ball’ the contest tin gles with sales talks. They are not only nsing the livelier ball but livelier jingles and selling arguments. • • . "For years I took my baseball without having my sales resistance knocked over the fence, but today it happens to me in every inning. ... "Hitting, pitching and base run ning have improved tremendously in baseball. So have enunciation and merchandising. The twirling is much better. The announcer throws - nee d | but also has a change of pace. "They say that whoever is ahead July 4 will finish as the pennant winners. The Dodgers and a couple of breweries were out front on that date this year in one league and the Yanks and tobacco away out ahead in the American. I look for no great change. ... "The final result may be in fluenced somewhat by mishaps. One of the top announcers in the American league has developed calcification of the vocal delivery and may be out a few weeks. And two announcers in the National are out with lame tonsils-” "What do you think of the Ath letics?” we asked. “I would have to know more about the product they sponsor,” replied Mr. Twitchell. ... FATHER AND SON Q.—Popper, what is a British dol lar crisis? A.—The British dollar crisis? Ahem. Well, er, it is a crisis over dollars. The British have trouble buying things with the American dollar. Q.—Like mommer does? A.—Yes, in a way. Haven’t you any home work to do? Q.—But, popper, isn’t a dollar a dollar in England just as much as in this country? A.—No, my son. I think the Willis boy is outside calling for you. Q.—Answer my question first, popper- A.—Well, er, the dollar is an American unit. The British use pounds. Q.—Pounds of what? A.—A pound is their unit of money. An Englishman never asks "Lend me 10 dollars.” He asks "Lend me 10 pounds.” Q.—If we say we haven’t any pounds and offer him dollars will he refuse to take the mon ey? A.—Don’t be fantastic. Of course he takes the money, but he won’t spend it in dollars. Q.—Then what good are dollars to him? A.^-The kids are playing ball across the street. Don’t you need fresh air? ... Q.—Popper, what is a sterling area? A—It is an area where sterling is the monetary base. Various countries use different kinds of money but it is converted into ster ling, and where’s your catcher’s mitt? Q.—Is the dollar worth more than the other kinds of money, popper? A.—It is worth so much more that the British can’t afford to use it to buy things until next Septem ber. Now beat it. iE^SCRE By INEZ GERHARD B ROWN-HAIRED, blue-eyed Mar ta Toren was discovered by a film writer at the Royal Dramatic Academy in Stockholm, where Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman also studied. The writer tested her, and as soon as Universal-Interna tional executives saw the test they signed her. “Sword in the Desert," her fourth picture, in which she ap- The Fiction * HtLPLES S ANNE ★ Ricb<ird Corner MARTA TOREN pears with Dana Andrews and Stephen McNally, makes her a full Hedged star. She studied ballet till she was 13, wanted to become an actress when she finished high school, but her father pursuaded her to become a secretary instead. Three years of that, then she broke av/ay, and dramatic school came next. "Sword in the Desert” is the first Hollywood film to deal with the smuggling of settlers past the British blockade in Palestine. Full of action, it moves rapidly, gives film-gders plenty of excitement for their money. “Cavalcade of America,” back on the air Monday nights en NBC, will once again have top stars in top vehicles. It not only brings the stories of great personages to Its mikes, but also those of little known peo ple who have contributed sig nificantly to the American way of life. Such stars as Irene Dunne, Raymond Massey, Charles Boyer and Dorothy McGuire appear on it. Lloyd Bridges says you can’t overestimate what luck does for a movie career. “It took me 12 solid yearn of struggling in Hollywood before I got my first decent break in ‘Home of the Brave.' Then Eagle-Lion gave me the lead in *Trapped.’ Since it was finished I’ve been offered dozens of other breaks.” Modest Mr. Bridges says nothing about what his talent has contributed. T HROUGH the opening in the trees above the woods road Langford could see the dull glow against the sky. It was growing brighter by the minute, and now the smell of smoke was strong. In his ears there was the distant 3 * Minute and omi nous Fiction ™ ar ° f crack - ling flames. He stumbled forward, his breath a sobbing gasp in his throat, his face white and drawn from the strain of running. It seemed that he had run a thous and miles, though he knew it was not more than eight. Eight at the most. That meant there were still three to go before he reached the river. Then he’d have to swim across and make another mile up the slope to his cabin. By then it might be too late. By then the fire might have swept down on the little log structure and destroyed it, and what it contained. Anne and little Bobby. He closed his eyes to shut out the picture. After a while he stood up and went on. The glow against the sky was brighter, bright red and orange and yellow. Against it he could see billowing smoke clouds and occasional showers of sparks. That meant the flames had reached the ridge behind the cabin. In another moment they would be sweep ing down the slope toward his clearing. His spirits sank. He choked as the smoke grew thicker and the air suffocating. Above him he heard the wail of a rising wind, and above the wind there was the increasing ’ roar of the fire. Anne wouldn’t understand until it was too late. It couldn’t be much more than a mile, he told himself. He called on his last ounce of energy and fought ahead. Suddenly a wild hope beat in his heart. He looked up and there at his very feet was water. The river! He had come faster than he thought But abruptly the hope died. Looking across he stared into a solid sheet of flame and smoke belching sparks. The entire slope of the hill, which was between the river and his cabin, was afire. Groaning, be sank to his knees. Before him the river hissed and steamed as flying fragments fell into it. Its black depths mirrored the licking tongues of flame with terrible beauty. Watching with horrible fascina tion, Langford’s heart suddenly gave a bound. He leaped to his feet and plunged into the water, shouting. Fifty feet from shore a dark silhouette had come into the path of orange reflection, wabbling crazily but moving steadily toward the shore. Atop it, was a huddled bundle of something, that moved and propelled the silhouette for ward with awkward, ' clumsy strokes. T ANGFORD WADED in to his arm- “ pits and then started to swim. He called again and a voice an swered him, telling him to go back. But he didn't. And presently the silhouette ranged alongside and Anne’s frightened eyes were look ing into his own. "Bobby?” he gasped. “He’s here, under the blankets. And I saved the hens too, and a lot of our personal things.” Langford helped push the im provised raft ashore. But it wasn’t until Anne had alighted and he had carried Bobby to safety that he discovered the raft was the hen coop he’d made for Anne’s chick ens. Four or five boards were laid across its top and lashed to gether with part of the wire. “It was the only thing I could carry,” Anne was saying. “I took the boards from the fence. The chickens are all in the bur lap bag, and our things are sunk in a box on the other side of the river.” Langford stared at her and for no accountable reason he began to laugh. It was a curious sound, not wholly rational. But the incon gruity of it was justified, for it had occurred to him what a stupid fool he’d been to think Anne helpless. 9. 10. 11. 12. 14. 15.

If you’ve had the good fortune of eating fish pre pared properly, then you certainly will adhere to the adage, for fish cooked to perfection is truly de licious. But, there are other reasons for eating fish, tool You may have abundant body building proteins, minerals and vitamins when you have a fish dinner. Fish are modestly priced wheth er you buy them fresh, quick- frozen or canned, so they’ll help you with food budgeting problems. They’re plentiful and amazingly versatile, if you’ll just give them a chance. If you don’t particularly enjoy fish, try a new way of preparation. One of the recipes in today’s col umn might start you on a new food adventure. Or, if you tend to get tired of fish, try other methods of preparation with a dash of spank ing brand new flavor tricks. You’ll be surprised at how many new ways there are for preparing the same foods. Many have heard of "fish and chips,” but have you ever tried them at home? Use filets of fish which have been cleaned, then season with salt and pepper. Roll them in flour and dip in a thin batter, and fry in deep fat (360°). Served with shoe string potatoes, also fried in deep fat until golden and crisp, a hearts of lettuce salad and a generous serving of lemon quarters, you’ll have a really de licious dinner for any night of the week. til • • D O YOU OBJECT" to the odor of fish? Fish which is not over cooked will not have that odor to which you may rightfully object. It’s wise to remember that fish is dehcate and does not need long cooking to make it tender. Baked fish is popular, especially when it’s stuffed with a nicely sea soned celery mixture, then served with a tangy lemon-butter sauce. •Stuffed-Baked Fish (Serves 6) S to 4 pound whole fish 3 tablespoons chopped onion % cup chopped celery 1 tablespoon minced parsley K cup bacon drippings 4 cups dry bread cubes 1 teaspoon salt H teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon Sage, marjoram or thyme 4 slices bacon Have fish cleaned but leave on head, tail and fins.
