^ ^ ^ 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Bake Fruit Cake Early to Ripen It.
(S00 Recipes Below)
Holiday Desserts
IT MAY SEEM early to think of
the holidays, but not if you’re go
ing to have fruit cakes and plum
puddings on hand for the big feasts.
While you’re
making some for
your own family,
don’t forget that
festively
wrapped pud
dings and fruit
cakes make ex
cellent gifts to
fill in those
spots on the list which are diffi
cult, especially at the last minute.
Rich in flavor and fruits, both
cakes and puddings need time to
ripen and mellow so they will taste
their very best. Make them four to
six weeks in advance, and dessert’s
ready and off your hands when
time is at a premium.

To lard means to draw narrow
strips of salt pork through lean
meat with a larding needle just for
that purpose. Meats which are
larded are those which are lean
and need extra fat so they’ll be
juicy after cooking.
Marinating refers to the process
of letting foods stand In sauce or
seasoning to give them flavor. It’s
used for fruits and vegetables in
salads, and meats before cooking.
Pan broiling? Grease a heavy
skillet very lightly and cook food
in it on top of the range.
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.

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.
