r hat Fly Reel? r%' r is*- % E & |v Naturally, there will never be any satisfactory end to the contro versy among fly rod addicts on the relative advantages of the single - action and automatic fly reels—or which type is best to use. Supporters of each type are legion and it would be difficult to change the mind of a user of either type about the superior qualities or conveniences of the other type. There is much to be said, of course, concerning the merits of 6oth kinds of reels. The fly rod man who swears by the single ac tion reel has his reasons. Among these are the fact that it permits more discretionary retrieve of the line and its manipulation; there is no danger of an inadvertant flick of the reel lever causing the break ing off of a delicate rod tip, and the single-action reel presupposes more complete control of the situation in the actual playing and landing of a fish. On the other hand, devotees of the automatic reel will indignant ly shout that the angler who can’t Here’s the Ocean City “90” which is the first combination single-action, automatic fly reel to be placed on the Ameri can market. It mounts in an up right position beneath the handle and may be operated manually by the two reel han dles, or automatically by the conventional trip lever. keep his finger off the reel level when it doesn’t belong there, hasn’t any business fishing at alL Too, there is no argument over choice of reels when the question of con venience of retrieve is concerned. The automatic reel saves many fine lines each fishing season by permitting excess line to be rapidly spooled on the reel and always out of the way and never underfoot. The automatic fly reel user has the advantage when fish are rising rapidly, but at long distances from the angler, and he must get line in and back to the scene of action as rapidly as possible if he would get as many fish as possible. The happy choice, of course, would be a combination affair—a reel which would be both single action and automatic, the function being at the will of the angler. It is surprising that no such reel was forthcoming for so long, but to the satisfaction of both the single action reel addict and the automa- Etic reel user, the advantages of both types of reels are now avail able in one precision instrument. Ocean City’s “90” is the new combination fly reel—the first to hit the U.S. market. This new auto- mafic, which permits manual re trieve by means of a two-handled spool, and also may be operated lually by the conventional trip lever, is an upright model, _ with lum frame and spool, and a ly-polished chrome line guide, sre in one package is a reel that takes care of the needs and desires of both the single-action reel user and the automatic type fancier. The reel is reasonably priced and its performance is such that it is certain to find a place in the gear of nearly every fly-rod user. AAA New Game Birds Game bird fanciers and biolo gists over the land had something new to think about following the announcement by the Fish and Wildlife Service that two new game birds are being introduced, experi mentally, to America—the European black grouse and the capercaillie. These are hardy grouse species that thrive! in a Scandinavian cli mate similar to that of qur north ern states. They make good shoot ing—and they’re good eating. And speaking of good eating, the jet black capercaillie male weighs 12 to 15 pounds. Besides, he’s wary and a fast flier, qualities that would make him a popular game bird if he does well in his New World environment. The black grouse is a smaller woods and moorland species, weighing three to five pounds. AAA Heavy Drain There are sufficient automobiles in this country to give a seat to every man, woman and child in the nation. More than 50 per cent of this transportation is used a por tion of the year, at least, for recreational purposes. This causes a drain on natural resources which over-balances the original stability provided by nature and creates a continually increasing need for supervision, protection and propa gation. I MIRROR Of Your MIND Relaxation Aids Memory By Lawrence Gould Is your memory better when you are “relaxed”? Answer: Yes—even for non sense—writes psychologist Gerald R. Pascal in the American Journal pt Psychology. The subjects of an experiment were tested for their ability to recall meaningless syl lables, first Seated in a chair, then lying on a couch after instruction in the art of relaxation. They re membered “significantly better” in the relaxed state. Psychiatrists long ago discovered that their pa rents recall seemingly forgotten feelings and events more easily when physically relaxed, and use “the couch” partly for this reason. Is it true that “wealth won’t make you happy”? Answer: Only in the sense that the capacity for happiness is in your mind, and that if it is para lyzed by inner conflicts, you will find pleasure in nothing. If a wealthy person is unhappy—as is often tile case—it may be because he amassed his wealth for neu rotic reasons such as the need to make up to himself for feeling that nobody loves him. To an even relatively normal person, money can be the source of much pleas ure and it is as unrealistic to de spise it as to feel your value as ft person depends on how much you are “worth.” Are ambitious people the best workers? Answer: That depends oy whether they are realists or day- dreamers. What you think is great ambition may be no more than ft childish picture of the power and importance which you feel ought to be coming to you because you want them so badly. The test lies in whether you feel that routine tasks are beneath you or you can recognize them as the necessary step toward your goal. It’s all right to “hitch your wagon to a star” if you recognize that hard work is the tow-rope. Otherwise, the unambitious chap may be ft better worker.

Barton N OW THAT MOST men and wom en know that high blood pressure is the commonest cause of heart strokes (coronary throm bosis), and brain stroke (apoplexy), blood pressure is the health sub ject most frequently discussed when old friends meet #ne another. One who claims his blood pressure is 200 or more thinks he is a “sicker” individual than one whose blood pressure is only 190. While high blood pressure is a serious matter if due to organic disease, what physicians are try ing to teach their patients is that a high blood pressure at a given time may be down to normal an hour from that time. A boxer, whom I had examined before his bouts for several years, was driven to a city 250 miles away for a special bout. On the way, the car, in trying to avoid an accident, went into the ditch and rolled com pletely over. While the boxer was unhurt, his blood pressure was so high that the examining physi cian, refused to pass him. He pleaded with the physician that he had boxed in large cities, including New York, and had al ways been allowed to box. The physician, against his better judge ment, allowed him to box. When I examined him the following day his blood pressure was, as usual, normal. The point here is that emo tional or exciting circumstances, even the fear of having the blood pressure tested, may send it up 50 or more points. In “The Journal of the Ameri can Medical Association,” Dr. David Ayman, Boston, states that all patients with either mild or severe hypertension (high blood pressure) have constant variations of blood pressure levels. The “up ward” tendencies, or rises, in blood pressure are usually due to emo tional reactions either pleasant or unpleasant, and the drops in blood pressure are caused by relaxation and calmness. It is because of the effects of the emotions on the blood pressure that your physician doesn’t always take your blood pressure when you con sult him regularly. ★ HEALTH NOTES ★ Drug fever is rarely serious if recognized and the drug discon tinued. • • • Attacks of epilepsy may be great ly lessened and even prevented by more attention to diet. • • • It is unfortunate that slight hear ing defects are not discovered earlier in children.

THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. KATHLEEN NORRIS Return Address "TJERE IS A DISTRESSED hus- band writing you,” says a letter in my mail this week. ‘T am asking you an age-old question,” Hugh Von Ahlm’s note goes on, “but the question is: Is the answer age-old too? “I love Edith, my wife, very dearly. I am five years older, we have three very small sons. Edith is kind, capable, devoted to me and the boys, altogether a splendid person. Because of her extraordi nary understanding and patience, we have never had a quarrel in our seven years of married life. “About two weeks ago Edith told me that a man whom I never had met, but had heard her mention as one of her college crowd, was go ing to call on me, in the hope of selling me three letters of hers. She distinctly recollected that she had written him but three times, for they had seen each other con stantly during the last months of her college year, after which he had left for his home in a distant state. She wrote three times, under the most agonizing stress a girl of 19 can know. He never answered. She never has seen him since. I need hardly say that he is today a contemptible rotter, and that my one interview with him will be my last. Blackmail “My wife told me the situation quietly, saying that this man want ed $500 apiece for each of these three letters, and asking me to buy them. She said she had told him to ". , , sex freedom seems tbrlling . . come to me, and he came. I identi fied the letters, paid for them, and burned them unread before his eyes. For Edith’s sake I didn’t horsewhip him as I might other wise have done. \ / “When I went home Edith asked me if I wanted a divorce. I said no, I wanted nothing but that our life should go on as it has been, for all these happy years. She told me that she bitterly regretted having kept these things from me at the time of our engagement, and ask-, ed if my knowledge of them would have made a difference in my feel ing for her. I said that it might have done so but that we had proved our devotion and compati bility toda>. and I wanted it all for gotten. “Edith, however, had moved her self into a small room next *o the nursery, professing concern for the middle boy, who had a bronchial cold, and she is staying there. She has changed from the cheerful, busy mistress of the house to a nervous, silent woman who shows altogether too much willingness to enslave and sacrifice herself,(fend of late she has been asking me again if i do not want a divorce. I’ve told her that I was no saint, as a kid. It doesn’t help. “This seems to me to rather re verse anything I would have ex pected of this state of affairs. I find ^myself the one who is suing for reinstatement. I am of Dutch descent, undemonstrative and si lent by nature. Edith is—or was— the light and warmth of the house. To have her tearful and shaken and evasive breaks us all up. Am I treating this problem lightly, and what else should I do?” Paying the Price To this good, bewildered hus band, I say in answer, your wife is only paying the price, or rather a small part of the price, of irrespon sibility in. college days. Sex free dom seems thrilling and natural to girls then, as indeed it is. But so is playing with matches in the hands of small boys, and so is taking out the high-powered car or the unfa miliar little power boat in a boy’s later years. Fifty thousand lives a year is what we pay for these escapades in car accidents alone, and in fire casualties and serious burns and blindness and lameness you can multiply that by 10. No matter how salacious and suggestive our learned advisers are, in the cur rent magazines, they all come out at the end with the same old law girls—and boys, too—must be con trolled by character. If Edith hadn’t had to pay through the revolting channel of blackmail, she would have paid, anyway. She would relive every hour of that old association with shame and regret. If she had dis covered that you paid your last- year college bills by forgery, she’d feel as you do—that is wasn’t you who did it. It was that confused and undeveloped boy who was go ing to be you. Put that to her some day. And put it to her that you ad mire, as I do, the simple courage with which she sent this rat of ft blackmailer straight to you. f Serve Simple Refreshments to Children (See Recipes Below) Childrens’ Parties why can’t I give a party AW.

SCRIPTURE: Romans 1:1, 7-15; 15: 22-29; 16; Acts 27—38; -Philippiana 1:12- DEVOTIONAL READING: Isaiah 2:2- 4. World-Wide Church Lesson for March 26, 1950 G OD WORKS his purposes out in ways that not even the wisest of his servants Can foresee. A beau tiful example of. this is the way Paul went to Rome. Long before he saw that city he wanted to preach there. All roads led to Rome, as they do to all world- capitals, and people went there from everywhere. « 9 # World Horizon When Paul writes to his “pen- friends” at Rome (15:22-29) of a projected trip to Jerusalem and Spain, taking in Rome on the way, he was laying out a trip to the east and west ends of civil ization, the jumping-off places. His plan was as ambitious as if a modem evangelist would write to some ^ _ church in India: “I Foreman aim to visit Iceland and Japan, and call on you on the way out.” • • • Bond Voyage pAUL EXPECTED to go to Rome -a free man, his ticket (so to speak) reading on through Spain. Actually that was the end of his run. He went there under military guard, prisoner under sentence. The story is all there in Acts, how first he was jailed for protecticm from a blood-hungry mob, then kept in jail on general principles (which is to say, the governor kept hoping he would pay well for an acquittal), and finally appealed to Rome, the highest court of the empire. Appeals were expensive and slow, then as now. Bat Paul mast have come to look at his imprisonment, false as It was, as a heaven-sent op portunity to make that Journey to Rome. It was a giR-edged accident insurance. Free, he x might never escape the plot ters and reach Rome alive. Chained, the efficient Roman army would see that he ar rived—and he did. Four pairs of eyes were on him night land day. No plotter could stick him with a I dagger or shove him overboard. So—after some hair-breadth escapes to be sure— he was delivered safe and sound in the very city of which he had been dreaming all these years. The Churfch at the Hub Of the World T HERE IS NOTHING at all in the New Testament to indicate that the church at Rome was con sidered, by Paul or any one else, as The Church, or the Mother Church. There is no claim that it was founded by St. Paul, still less by St. Peter. It grew, as other churches grew, by infiltration. Christians who moved to the big city would get together, and there the church would be. Yet, of course, the Ro> man church was important. It was important because It was at the hub of the civilised world. Paul did not seem to mind it In the least, that he could work only inside hie prison, or “confined to quar ters.” Writing from his jail cell to the Philippians, he mentions converts 2rom the army and from fee im perial slaves. (“Caesar's house hold” in Phil. 4:22 does not refer to the Emperor’s family, but to the retinue of palace slaves.) We know from the letter to Philemon that Paul converted at least one “Jailbird” named Onesimus. • • • The True Church Is A Marching Church pAUL KNEW that • soul is ft * soul, sitting in the emperor’s chair or waiting at the emperor's table. God is no respecter of per sons. But he also knew that these Christian soldiers would not al ways stay in Rome; that even Christian slaves would be sold down the river; that the restless feet which brought their owners to Rome would take them away again. Great cities are like that Putting down Christianity in Rome was not like putting ft single seed Into a sheltered - corner 4 of the garden. It was like scattering a handful of It to the breese, to be carried far and wide. Paul’s vision Is still the vision of the church at its best. The true church marches on, along the high roads and byroads of the wqrld. We shall never be content wife a narrow, sheltered Christianity. We cannot be satisfied wife half world religion. Only world-Chris- tianity matches the grandeur of fee New Testament ideal. (Copyright by the International council of Religious Education on behalf of 40 Protestant denominations.
