That is the opinion of Prof. R. M. Smock, of Cornell university’s ag ricultural experiment station. More than 100,000 bushels of ap ples are in 15 such storages in New York state, the first of their kind in the country. “When they come Does a chronic liar try to deceive himself? It sort of puts the apple to sleep and it never wakens un til brought out into store tem perature. s put in April or May or June,” Smock says, “the apples are ex pected to be of prime quality.” Results of 10 years of experi- jments show that controlled-atmos phere storage will double the ordi nary storage life of McIntosh, pro vided the rooms are properly con structed and operated. Good re sults also were obtained with De licious and Northern Spy when the varieties were stored separately. Answer: On the whole, yes, re ports Dr. John S. Ellsworth, Jr., in the American Sociological Re view. Study of the marriage li censes in a small town and in a medium-sized and a large city showed that the nearer a young man and woman live to each other, the greater the chance that they will fall in love and marry. This is most true in densely pop ulated areas where one neighbor hood offers a wider range of choice. Falling in love results from emotional need not from “finding the right person,” and propinquity will always be a fac tor in it. fast-moving civilization.” We can’t solve our children’s problems in advance by teaching them a few simple rules, as Grandma did, be cause we cannot forsee what the problems will be. Children must be trained to independence and adaptability to fit them for an un known future. sp . 1 K;.;-;: J &S3L Sweet Potatoes Make Valuable Farm Crop Many North Carolina farmers who have never planted sweet po tatoes for market should be able to increase their farm income this year through the cultivation and sale of this root crop, according to H. M. Covington, extension horti culture specialist for the state col lege extension service. The U. S. department of agricul ture has requested farmers to in crease their production of sweet potatoes by 12 per cent. Even if such an increase is planted, pro duction would still be about 10 per cent under the 1937-46 annual aver age. Farmers who plan to increase their sweet potato acreage this year to have some for sale, should consider market outlets before planting, Covington states. Did grandma know how to raise children? Answer: She did her best, says Dr. Leona Baumgartner of the United States Children’s Bureau, but “What our grandparents learned about child-rearing on a trial-and-error basis and passed on to today’s parents is almost obsolete in this highly mechanized, Are there people who should never drink? Answer: There are people for whom drinking is particularly dangerous, and one way to tell whether you are one of them is by how much “change of person ality” liquor produces in you. The greater the mass of repressed feelings which you can release only when you’ve had a few drinks, the more probable it is that drink ing so as to be able to release them will develop into a compulsion which you cannot control. If you’re meek and shy when sober, and ag gressive or quarrelsome when in toxicated, you’d better let alcohol alone. ' LOOKING AT RELIGION A household device which auto znatically defrosts the refrigerator and is a fine electric clock has beer put on the market. The defroster, the company stated, eliminates the housewife’s periodic, usually messy defrosting chores which are so often put 06 until she finds time and a thick insulating coat of frost has ac cumulated on the freezing unit. Automatically, the defroster turns the refrigerator off at 1 a.m. each day, and then, again automatically, switches it back on after the thin skin of frost is removed from the unit. During the shut-off periods, mois ture created by the melting film is circulated through the box. With the defroster, which is a pre cision timing instrument, any elec tric refrigerator, old or new, easily can be made self-defrosting.

KEEPING HEALTHY J More About Back Pain and Sciatica By Dr. James W. Barton T HERE ARE MANY thousands of men and women suffering with severe low back pain who could be relieved of pain and dis ability by use of a supporting brace, and in severe cases by op eration. While most cases of low back pain and sciatica are caused by in fection and can be relieved by re moval of this infection, there are a great number of people, who have hurt their back by a fall, mis step, or a heavy lift. It is in these cases, caused by injury, that physicians and sur geons are finding the cause to be a “hernicated” or crushed disk, the cushion between the bones of the spinal column. I write about this crushed disk often, because so many are suffer ing from this low back pain and intense sciatica, taking treatment for rheumatism when the removal of this crushed disk could give immediate relief from pain, and enable the patient to recover his strength of nerves and muscles. In the “Journal of Surgery,” Stockholm, Dr. S. Lindgren re ports 500 cases of ruptured inter vertebral disks, in all except six of which he performed the operation of removing the disk. He states that the usual or typical case be gins with lower back pain, often with sciatica. In an effort to “lift or remove the pressure of the ruptured disk pressing on nerves or region,” the j patient unconsciously “straight- I ens” or lifts his back which straightens out the curve in small of back. In practically all cases it is the disks (fourth and fifth lum bar) at the lower end of the spinal column that have been crushed. There was usually a prompt dis appearance of the symptoms after operation, and nearly 90 per cent of the patients could be discharged from hospital within three weeks. “Eighty-one per cent of the pa tients regarded the operation as beneficial and an additional 16 per cent as somewhat beneficiaL” By use of adrenal extract and the new wonder drug, cortisone, obtained from adrenal glands, good results in treating alcoholism have been obtained by research workers. * * • Eating nourishing but light Meals and resting a few minutes after eating is an important part at treating heart disease.

SCRIPTURE: Hosea. especially 11:1-4, 8-11 * 14*4-9 DEVOTIONAL. READING: Psalm ISO. Forgiving Love Lesson for May 14, 1956. oo Dr. Foreman A LL RELIGIONS believe in God, but not all religions know the God who loves. Gods that rule, gods that threaten and punish, gods that sit on high and distant thrones— yes, the history of religions shows plenty of these. But it is not every religion that be lieves in a God ca pable of love. We Christians say that God is love, but already centuries before Christ the inspired Hebrew prophet Hosea was saying that the high God, the holy God, not only can but does love his creatures on earth. • • • Love With an IF B UT HOSEA goes further than this. Even the religions that teach the love of God do not always understand it. That there are “fa vorites of heaven” is an idea com mon to many religions, ancient and recent. The notion that God loves those who love him, that his love is a reward for good behavior, that he loves good people but not bad peo ple, in short that he loves only the lovable—this is believed by a great many, but it is not true. To put It in another way: Many religions, and even some persons in the He- /brew and Christian religions, sup pose that God loves us with an IF. Some of the more prlmltiva religions think of God as loving only If he feels like It, If he happens to be In the right mood. There Is no telling when he may love and when not; he is as unpredictable as spring weather. The higher religions know better; God is not capri cious and impulsive like a child. But still sometimes even in bet ter religions God is thought of as loving with an IF. If you love me (he is thought of as saying) I will love you. If you are good enough to love, I will love you. If you earn my love, I will pay you by loving you. • • • No IF in God’s Heart H OSEA HAD LEARNED a deep er lesson from God. Through his own bitter experience (see last Sunday’s lesson) he knew that his own love for his wife outlived all the shame she had brought to his heart and home. In himself he knew, as a living fact, love for an unloving and unlovable person. So —and so much more—God could, would and did love his unfaithful people Israel. “God sp loved Israel—,” said the prophet. “God so loved the world,” says the Gospel. God’s love is not the bargaining kind. He does not wait till we are “good enough.” His love has no IF in it. • • • Suppose We Say No? A T THIS POINT something must be said that would seem to go without saying, only there are so many persons who misunderstand the truth just here. God is love: we learned that in Sunday school when we were small, we have seen it in mottoes on the wall, we have grown used to the idea. But some times we twist this truth into some thing else. We think, “If God is love then it doesn’t matter much what we do. He is going to look after us and see that we come out all right Noth ing’s going to hurt us because our loving Father is right here to pro tect us.” This is a mistake. Hosea teaches, and the Bible as a whole teaches, that God’s love Is not compulsive; that Is, his love must be freely received because It Is freely offered. We can say “No” If we insist. And if we do turn our backs and run away, the consequences are terrible and not even God’s love will keep us from them. It is only the person who turns his heart to God who finds that love, like sunlight, casting out the fear and the evil from his mind and heart. • • • The Cost of Love THE DEEPEST TRUTH of all Is one which Hosea partly sees, but is fully seen only in the New Testament. God’s love for sinners is costly. It is not a light 4hing, easily given. As Hosea’s forgiving of Corner cost him much, 60 the love of God for his wandering children costs him more. That this la true, Hosea realises. ’ But to know what the love of God really costs, we have to stand in the light of Calvary. Paul speaks of the church of God “which he pur chased with his own blood.” There can be no higher price than that.

LYNN SAYS: These Kitchen Hints Save Time and Tempers To keep bacon from curling while it is cooking, snip the edges with shears. Curling can also be pre vented if the bacon is broiled be tween racks. < To keep the bones on a crown roast from burning, place the roast in a pan with the bones down, or spear their ends with pieces of fat. To make fish firm and white, add a dash of lemon juice to the water In which it’s boiled. Potted beef steaks give a hearty luncheon dish that’s full of flavor, and need only other light foods to t aecompany them. Keep servings average te small.
