THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. MIRROR ^ ^ ^ Girl Athletes Of Your Feminine, Too MIND By Lawrence Gould Are women athletes “unfeminine”? Answer: Not always, by any means—it is a matter of the “cul ture” they grow up in. The more generally customary it becomes for girls to go in for sports, the less “unfeminine” girl athletes will be. But when a woman takes up what she was taught to think of as a masculine activity, one may suspect that she does so as a more or Jess unconscious protest against what she feels to be the limitations of her sex, and that she cares more about proving she can do anything a man can than about the sport in which she is engaging. ■ A 1 Mr immm mmm 'Wti Is gray a real color? Answer: Not in the sense in which such colors as red and blue are, says Ralph M. Evans in the Journal of the Optical Society of America. For you cannot see gray unless you are looking at two areas or different degrees of light ness and comparing one with the other. An object of medium light ness that has no intrinsic color looks gray compared with a rela tively black or white one. But black and white are not really colors, either; they, too, vary in proportion to the effect of the amount of luminosity on the eyes of the beholder. FOR HONES LOOKING AT RELIGION ^1—- fflHE WILDERNESS WHERE CHRIST RESISTED HIS A TEMPTATION By THE DEVIL IS THOUGHT To BE THE DESOLATE AND MOUNTAINOUS REGION NOW CALLED QUARANTANIA BY THE PEOPLE OF PALESTINE, OR THE DESERT OF ARABIA KEEPING HEALTHY Prevent Tooth Decay With Fluorine By Dr. James A S A MEMBER OF A COMMU NITY, you natrually have the health of the community, which in cludes your own healthy and the health of your family, in mind. A healthy community is bound to be a happy community, other things being equal. As a member of the community you may be asked to vote on some public health project and you may wonde* whether the project is worth while, or merely a fad. Two possible propositions have to do with the water supply. One is whether iodine should be added to the water to prevent goiter. It can now be stated, with abundant high authority behind it, that in some districts, particularly in the region of the Great Lakes, iodine should be added. The other health proposition is that of adding flourides to the water supply. Some years ago it was found that the inhabitants of a certain county in a certain state were almost free of decayed teeth. W. Barton Investigation showed that the water and the soil there contained a certain percentage of fluorides. Previous experience with fluorides where the percentage was much higher had caused mottling of the teeth. F'-npr:ments have been carried out in different parts of the United SiUtes and Canada in which small amounts of fluorine salts (in the proportion of 1 to 1.5 parts per million) were added to the water systems of town and cities. All re ports were favorable to this meth od of preventing tooth decay. In The Journal of the American Dental Association, Dr. Francis A. Bull, Madison, Wis., states, “The addition of fluorides to domestic water supplies has now been rec ommended as a decay-control meas ure by the U.S. Public Health Serv ice to approval of the state and local health authorities and dental and medical professions. Large scale control tests have been car ried on within the past five years in a number of cities. Forests Important Does fluent speaking prove you are sincere? Answer: No, though it tends to give that impression to .the hear er. Fluency shows merely that the speaker is familiar with his sub ject and is free from inhibitions, both of which may be so whether he believes what he is saying or not. Especially when he’s trying to express a new idea, a sincere person is apt to be slightly hesi tant because he wants to be sure to convey his meaning accurately. But of course, a “prepared” speech or radio talk is different— the work has been done before hand and fluency does not mean glibness. Refined sugar, acting on the out er surface of the teeth, destroys the enamel, causing decay of the underlying tissue, dentine, to set in. • • • Because of close relation between hearing and development of lan guage, the child with impaired hear ing may be socially and linguistical ly retarded. ; r The real importance of forests, soil and other natural resources can not be expressed entirely in dollars and cents, but rather must be meas ured in terms of the security and happiness of all people who depend upon these resources for the neces sities of life. What are forest values? A logger sees the forest as a source of jobs; the banker eyes timberland in terms of investment; a fisherman thinks of angling in clear forest streams; a water engineer appraises forests for the part they play in flood con trol. Forests have all these values and many more. Many of the important game birds and mammals prefer fields sur rounded by trees and undergrowth. Young trees, like young boys and girls, need plenty of food and water for proper growth. The saplings of today are the saw- logs of tomorrow. Approximately one fourth of the rain that falls in the forest is caught by tree leaves and branches and dissipated into the air. Forests occupy approximately 231 million acres in the South, or more than half of the land area of the region. Loblolly pine frequently is called old field pine because of Its tendency to invade and reclaim abandoned agricultural land in the South. Keeping good forest cover on steep land has long been recognized as an important factor in reducing the floor load of rivers. Concentration of population in ur ban centers and the shortening of the work week has intensified the need for easily accessible recrea tional areas. Forests contribute to the regu larity of stream flow by reducing the rate and amount of runoff and allowing water to soak intd the ground. The maximum flow of streams through open land may be several hundred times their average flow. Private owners hold about 91 per cent of the commercial forest land in the South, while only nine per cent is in public ownership. AAA Deer Fawns Young (fawns) of the whitetaR deer weigh only four or five pounds at birth and are born with their eyes wide open. As a rule the whitetail deer doe gives birth to twin fawns after the first birth although triplets are not rare. Usually there is only one fawn the first year that the doe becomes pregnant but after that twins are the rule. White polka dots against a back ground of reddish brown give white- tail deer fawns a color which is very hard for anything to see as long as they remain quiet. This pro tective coloration plus a lack of strong scent seems to be Nature’s way of taking care of these babies. Contrary to popular opinion both young and adult whitetail deer have Voices’. Fawns have a call which resembles the ‘mew* of a cat Adults have a loud, hoarse, high-pitched shriek which is only used when they are being chased. Does bleat for lost fawns and an adult will occa sionally signal by blowing violently through its nostrils. Whitetail deer seem to have an intense hatred for snakes of any kind. They jump on them with all four feet bunched together and tear them into shreds. They also iiave been known to kill dogs in this man ner.

A N AUSTRALIAN minister once remarked: “If ever a church could be found whose members treated one another better than peo ple treat one another on the out side, the world would flock to its doors.” In that ex aggerated remark there is a pointed truth. As a matter of fact, that was ,| the case in the early church and the world did flock to its doors. From _ _ six score people Dr * Fore,nan that church grew to 5,000 in no time, and in less than three centur ies it was the religion of a world* empire. • j» • This Scrambling World O N THE “outside” what Is the rule? David Harum put it in a nutshell: “Do unto your neigh bor what he would like to do to you.” “Every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost.” “Ev ery mdn has his price.” “Look out for Number 1.” “Blessed is he that tooteth his own horn, for he that tooteth not his own horn, the same shall not be tooted.” People get tired of living In a world like that. Something tells them that the everlasting scram ble is not the way to live, there must be a better way. Suppose they conld look down the street and see that better way actual ly being put into practice by a little community of people? They ought to be ab?.e to see it wherever there is a Christian church. But—is the average church that kind of community? Do* the members treat one another (on Mondays, that is) with more under standing, consideration and affec tion than the local atheists or Noth ingarians show toward one another? Indeed, is there anything whatever that seems to link these First What sis Church people together with a common bond? • • # Making Fellowship Real I N A large city there will be a page or more of Smiths in the telephone directory. These all have the same name, but most of them lon’t know one another and don’t care. Too often it is this way with Christians even in the saihe congre gation. They all bear the same name, but that is about all. What they ought to have is fellowship. This Is not a mere word. It can be a real thing. It is like a two-way blood trana- fnston, in the realm of person ality. It is Interflow of life. It can be the source of tbe Chris tian’s finest growth and serv ice. Musicians develop musical ly through sharing with other musicians. Every “Future Farmer of America” Is going to be a better and more enthusi astic farmer through his assoeft- atlons with the F.F.A. So our Christian faith and life are kept glowing and growing through the fellowship of like-mind ed persons. One thing your Sun day school class, and indeed the whole congregation, may well con sider seriously, even adopting it as your Project for the Year is this: What can we do to make fellowship more real in our church? • • • Wider Horizons OHRISTIAN fellowship needs not ^ only to be enriched; it needs to be enlarged. In a town or section where denominational lines run sharply across the population, there is too much cross-fire. Such a com munity has a hard time being a community. Many a denomination has been afflicted with the disease of pride. Loyalty to one’s own de nomination too easily replaces loyalty to the kingdom of God. Whatever be your own church connection, there are unnum bered true Christians outside tbe bounds of your church. Do you know them? Do you wor ship with them from time to time? Do you epcourage visi tors from other churches? Not only In other denominations but across lines of race and color you can find a thrill in coming close to Christians who may even be much better Christians than yourself. Young people in your church may be interested in a new organization which is interested in bringing to gether the thinking of young peo ple in every land. Young Christians can bring to such-a project the in sight and the spirit of Christian Faith, and learn to know young Christians in other lands than ours. “Youth.of AH Nations” at 18 St. Luke's Place, New York 14, N.
