There are a few tricks which make them better tasting than ever: Cook the prunes with a stick or two of cinnamon, slices of orange or lemon. You’ll like the spark the spice or citrus fruit gives to the mild flavored prunes. Combine 3 tablespoons of cocoa with the same amount of sugar, then add 1% cups milk, 1% cups water and stir in 1% cups rolled oats. Cook as usual. Make this eggnog topping to serve over hot cereal: to beaten egg, add 2 teaspoons sugar, 1 cup rich milk and V* teaspoon vanilla. Children will like butterscotch cereal for a change. Simply serve with brown in place of white sugar. Before removing the hull, cut fresh pineapple into slices. It is then much easier to trim the hull from around each slice.

Duck Needs Home The wood duck, most colorful of American waterfowl, is facing a housing shortage. This species prefers to nest in hollow trees, but in many locations is prevented from doing so because of a shortage of natural cavities in trees, or because those that do exist have already been taken by squirrels or ’coons. And, even if the wood duck gets there first, in many cases the nest is sooner or later discovered and broken up by squirrels or ’coons. A highly satisfactory solution— both to the wood ducks and to peo ple who like to have them around —is the man-made wood duck nest box. Nest boxes should be made of rough, unplaned lumber about an inch in thickness. Galvanized nails should be used to resist rusting and should be driven into the boards at an angle to prevent warping. The covers should be tight to prevent rain seepage and fastened in such a way that the box can be easily opened for cleaning. The box should have no finish of creosote or stain, but should be allowed to weather. It will last 5 to 7 years. In the box, when finished, should be placed sev eral inches of clean pine shavings for nesting material. Cedar poles from four to six inches in diameter are preferable for mounting the box and should be driven firmly into the marsh bot tom. This can be done very handily after ice forms by chopping a hole (see photo) and driving it from the ice. The poles should be located well out into the open water area so they will not be readily accessible to a raiding raccoon or cat. The nest box should be placed on the pole five to six feet above the normal water level and^ecured with he&vy^pikes or wire so that it will not turn or sway in the wind. For the best results, the boxes should be erected well before the nesting season (April to July) and not dis turbed during that season. AAA Cost Uncounted In comparison wuh other items, the expense figures that get the least attention from the spender are those in connection with the sports of hunting and fishing. “The outdoor sportsman may be fussy about his household budget, might meticulously turn off every unnecessary light bulb or insist that the thermostat on his heater is set at the minimum, “ says Gail Evans, advertising and shooting promotion manager. Remington Arms Com pany, Inc., “but when somebody mentions the cost of hunting and fishing, he’s generally looking out the window. There is, of course, a definite reason for this. To the hunt er or angler, his sport is Big Medi cine. to be taken in big or little sips and as often as possible. It is balm to the soul, nourishment to a tired body and sedative to jangled nerves. Luxury? Don’t be foolish! To hear the sing of a reel, to smell the smoke of gunpowder, to watch the dawning on an ice-fringed marsh or see the moon rise over a wooded lake . . . these are all events of much importance to the physical and mental well-being of the aver age sportsman and to count their costs in drab terms of dollars and cents is considered bordering on blasphemy. There are, however, al ways some sportsmen who do keep careful records of their expendi- tures. Hunting and fishing success is not usually detemined by the amount of money a sportsman spends on any given trip, so maybe this record-keeping business is a mild form of sadism. It is not rec ommended for the guy with a one way pocket.” Sportsmen’s expenditure figures, however, are of more importance than the average sportsman real izes. AAA Films Released Two colorful film? have been re cently released by the U.S. fish and wildlife service. They are “Conservation in Ac tion,” and “Hunting The Puma.” Announcement of the films’ release was made by Oscar L. Chapman, secretary of the interior. “Conservation in Action” briefly tells the habitat needs of salmon, waterfowl, buffalo, mountain goats, moose and many other creatures, and depicts the activities of the fish and wildlife service in meeting these needs and managing the re newable resources in our waters and on our lands. “Hunting The Puma” as the name indicates is an action-packed ac count of a mountain lion hunt. AAA Hand Lines Hand line fishing still is more widespread than the average angler might expect. Many fishermen still use hand lines fishing from piers, bridges and breakwaters. Salt water hand lines usually are heavy, tarred lines capable of handling big fish which may be hooked. In hand line fishing, the angler should use more than one hook. The advantage in this is that with hooks spread at dif ferent levels, the angler can soon determine at what depth fish bit*. THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. CHILDREN AT WORSHIP Children Learn Responsibility By Holding Own Church Services The town of Milton, Mass., is the site of America's only children’s church, run by and for children. Each Sunday morning the bell of the little colonial building calls eighty young members of the Chil dren’s Church of the First Parish Unitarian church to services. A tiny, blond child with a solemn gaze toddles up to a miniature al ter, clutching a taper in both hands. Teetering back and forth on her thin legs, she lights the alter candles. One of the “elders” of the church, a 15-year-old girl, quiet ly walks to the organ and stretches her fingers over the keys as a cue By INEZ GERHARD S USAN PETERS must be very tired of hearing that the way she has carried on since she was crip pled in that hunting accident is wonderful; any actress could be proud of her career. Not content with success on the screen, she has made numerous radio appearances, toured the country in two plays, and SUSAN PETERS now has added a television serial, “Miss Susan”, to her schedule, (on NBT-TV weekday afternoons). That involves lengthy rehearsals as well as the actual performances. Miss Peters plays a young lawyer, and is supported by an excellent cast, headed by Mark Roberts, Helen Ray, Katharyn Grill, Joseph Foley and Robert Pike. Eddie Cantor is indulging again in his favorite occupation—raising money for a worthy cause. He has been knighted as the first “Cancer Crusader”, heading the American Cancer Society’s annual campaign, in April. Called the world’s greatest fund raiser (he sold $43,000,000 worth of war bond3,) he has also originated many slogans, including the March of Dimes. Evelyn Varden, radio mother of “Young Dr. Malone”, who was ac claimed for her performance as the southern aristocrat in “Pinky”, is featured as the nurse in the produc tion of “Romeo and Juliet” starring Olivia de Havilland. When it opened recently in New York dramatic critics agreed that Miss de Havil land looked very beautiful, were less enthusiastic about her talents. “Behave Yourself’ can hardly escape being a good picture. Wil liam Demarest and Lon Chaney have been added to the cast sup porting Shelley Winters and Farley Granger, and the famous James Wong Howe is the cameraman. The doll-house-size “C h i 1- dren’s Church” at Milton, Mass., is the first church in the country founded exclusive ly for'children. They sing their hymns, read the scripture and conduct their own prayers. Above the youthful choir files out of its own church, headed for its parent chnrch where the young people sometimes sing for special services. for the choir to start assembling its dignity. There may not be much technical perfection to the 15-voice choir with its wavering childish trebles and uncertain adolescent altos but there is immense dignity. There is the same dignity about the congregation seated in the small pews. As the majestic tones of their own Hammond organ swell up, Alice-in-Wonderland-like girls sit quietly in their pews with none of the fidgeting and giggling that often characterizes youngsters at tending religious services. Solemn faced boys pay determined atten tion to what is going on before them, mindful that they are pres ent in their own church instead of that of their elders. Even the five- year olds are conscious of the dig nity of their position in this, their own religious world. Children from 5 to 15 years old lead the hymns, read the scripture and conduct their own prayers. The only adult taking part is Mrs. Edyth Stonestreet, ministar of this miniature congregation for the past nine years. * • • THB CHILDREN’S CHURCH was the idea of the late wife of the Rev. Vivian Pomeroy, who is pastor of the First Parish Unitarian church attended by the children’s parents. Mrs. Pomeroy believed children should have a service they could understand and enjoy, one that would be their very own. She was instrumental in having an aban doned schoolhouse moved to the church grounds adjoining the adult church in 1937. An entry way, steeple, window shutters and paint were added to transform it into the diminutive house of worship. Everything about it is scaled to children’s size. The children begin their service in the larger church next door where the Rev. Pomeroy delivers a children’s sermon but that is the end of their time in the adult re ligious world. Immediately after the sermon, they file quietly out to their own small church where they take over. It’s not a game with them. It is a very serious matter and each of the 80 members reflects his satisfaction with the arrange ment in his feeling of responsibility about the conduct of his church. cnoniiD mm LAST WEEK'S ANSWER ^ ACROSS 1.

Wilkinson Jt • 0 S HORTLY BEFORE noon on the day the Garrisons left Laredo for Mexico City, their motor went dead. Mrs. Garrison was greatly disturbed. “Of all places!” she said, “to have this happen. I de clare, you should have had the car looked at in Laredo.” “I did,” said Mr. Garrison. His voice was muffled because his head was beneath the hood. But Mrs. Garrison was paying no atten tion anyhow. She was gazing about the wild, rugged, treeless country in which they had stopped, as if expecting Pancho Villa and a horde of vicious looking henchmen to rise up from behind a rock. Five horsemen suddenly appeared out lined against the sky on the crest of a nearby hill. Mrs. Garrison let out a squeak of fright. Into her mind there flashed stories of the roving bands of out laws that inhabited the hills of Mexico. Mr. Garrison lifted a grease-be smeared face and stared at the horsemen. Then he looked at his wife and saw that her cheeks were white. “Rubbish!” he said. “No need to be scared.” But his own heartbeats had increased in volume. The horsemen were coming down the hill. Mrs. Garrison had a wild impulse to flee. She could see the leader of the quintet and his ap pearance confirmed her fears. Just as the stories had said, he was dark and handsome and oily. The leader of the group doffed his hat and said something in Spanish that neither of the Gar risons understood. They re- “My father,” she said in per fect English, “regrets that he does not speak your language.” garded each other with fright ened looks. One of the hench men dismounted and proceeded to examine the car. “They’re wondering if it’s worth anything..” Mrs. Garrison said. “It isn’t,” Mr. Garrison told her. There followed a rapid jargon of speech between the riders. Preseilt- ly two of them uncoiled ropes and attached the ends to the automo bile’s bumper. It was quite evident that they planned to tow the thing away, and the Garrisons were con gratulating themselves on escaping with their lives, when the leader' signed to them to enter the vehicle. Mrs. Garrison shrieked and clung to her husband. “They’re going to kidnap us. Oh, Lord, have mercy!” Mr. Garrison was more practical. “I doubt if they harm us if we do what they say. If we don’t—they might cut off our ears.” Thus having set his wife’s mind at rest, he preceded her into the car and sat behind the wheel. 3 -Minute Fiction GRASSROOTS Our Posterity May Have To Repudiate Huge Debts By Wright A. Patterson HE PRESENT DECADE is des tined to go down as the most profligate in our history. In Wash ington, the halls of congress and in the executive departments, there is talk only of economies, but it is all talk and no action. The President talks an excellent line of economy. He tells congress to spend less on home projects, and then recommends new ways and places for appropriations. Con gress talks .much about the need for economies, and then votes all and more than the President has asked. It results in a merry go round of tax, and tax, and tax, and spend, and spend. In the end, we are destined not to pay as we go, but to build up more national indebted ness for our children, through sev eral generations to pay, or possibly, to repudiate. We are traveling the road to national bankruptcy, with no one willing to apply the brakes. Congress insists it will cut the President’s budget by as much as seven billions, the President dares congress to cut it by so much as one dollar. And the chances are that in stead of cutting, congress will, by the end of the session, through the needless items pro vided for in the usual “pork” bill, add more millions or bil lions. For many years, through “pork” appropriations we have attempted what we have termed flood control without any perceptible approach to actual accomplishment, and we will have similar appropriations at the end of this session. The result will be increased, rather than less spending. But the people do not seem to awaken to the fact that congress and the President are spending their money, that each new billion of appropriations calls for more taxes which the people must pay, more ways through which to collect. Now, in Washington, they are talk ing about a manufacturers’ excise tax, which would mean a new tax to be added to the price of the commodities the people buy. It is not that such a tax is not equitable. It is but another way of taking money out of the pockets of the people to pay for things we could get along without. We tax the people on the food they eat, in order that congress may provide higher prices for farm products, and so cater to the farm vote without a thought of the retaliation that may come from the five urban votes to each one on the farms. That is a place where the urban vote will, in time, demand a de crease in expenditures. When that urban revolt comes, as it will, it will make a difference of a billion or more in government spending. One place where economy could be practiced, rather than only talked, is in the federal payrolls. With the bureaucratic departments now employing well over two mil lion-civilians and increasing at the rate of better than one thousand a day, that “army” represents a vast expenditure each year. For the President’s party, that more than two million bureaucratic payrollers represents from four to eight mil lion votes in the next election. Nat urally the representatives of that party in congress will do nothing about it. The Republicans in congress would welcome the opportunity of separating that more than two mil lion employees from the federal payrolls if that could be accom plished without abolishing the jobs they hold. They would like to dis pense with the present job holders, presumably members of the Demo cratic party, but they want to pre serve their jobs so they may be filled with their own partisans, fol lowing the next election—if their party wins. They are more inter ested in building a bulwark of votes that can insure their hold on the national government, than in na tional economy. So it is that, for one reason or another there is no real desire for economy, either on the part of the President or either party as rep resented in congress. What we hear is only meaningless talk. There has been, and will be no real perform ance. There is no leadership point ing in that direction by the Presi dent or the members of congress represented by either political par ty. All are playing the game of poli tics, rather than thinking of the in terests of the nation and its people. Should the people awaken and real ize what is happening, one or both parties might be Induced to take action, rather than only talk. A N HOUR LATER they turned into a side road and presently the car stopped before a great rambling ranch house. The prisoners were ordered to alight. A wizened, copper-colored Mexican unloaded their handbags and led them inside and to a bed room. “Not bad for a kidnaper’s hide out,” Mr. Garrison commented. “It will probably take every cent we have to pay the ransom. They think we’re rich.” Some one knocked at their door and they both started. But it was the same wizened servant. He beck oned to them and they followed him out and along the corridor and into a dining room. The leader of the kidnapers was waiting for them.” The Garrisons were hungry and so they ate. By the time the meal was finished all hands felt pretty gay. Footsteps sounded on the porch, and a young girl entered. At sight of the Garrisons, she hesitated, but their host greeted her warmly, and beckoned her to him. There fol lowed a jargon of speech between the man and girl. The girl’s face suddenly lighted and she looked at the Garrisons. “My father,” she said in perfect English, “regrets that he does not speak your language. But he trusts you have been made comfortable and will stay with him a few days. He has many American friends and whenever the chance offers he likes to extend them the hospitality of his home. He tells me that your car has been repaired and is waiting.” Mr. and. Mrs. Garrison looked at each other. Mrs. Garrison said: “Oh, my! Just imagine! Do let’s stay, Henry.” And Henry said: “O. K.” And for no accountable reason he grinned and felt tenderly of hie ears. SCRIPTURE: Genesis 3:1—5:5: 6:5— 0:17. DEVOTIONAL READING: Roman* 5:12-17. How Sin Begins Lesson for April 8, 1951 N O ONE can believe in sin who does not believe in God. That is, no one can believe that sin is real unless he believes that God is real. For the meaning of sin is re ligious; it cannot be understood at all, apart from God. For sin means go ing contrary to the will of God. Sin may not consist of “doing” anything, of course; It may be only wishing or thinking against «■ God; or it may be Dr. Foreman refusing to do, or neglecting to' do, what God wants done. A thing is not right just because God wills it; he could not, by a mere proclamation, make murder good and mother-love wicked. But God never wills a thing unless it is right, or forbids it unless it is wrong; one reason for this is that he is creator of all, and so knows what is best for every creature. To go against his will is to go against one’s own best interest. ” # • • • Sin on the Outside OW does sin begin? The Bible says sin has been on this earth as long as people have lived here. But the story of the temptation in the Garden of Eden is also a parable of how sin always begins. As Dr. Brunner says, Adam’s other name is Everyman. Now we can see in this story that sin came into the world because there came a sugges tion from the outside. Not every thing In this universe is now good; there is anti-God at work, as well as pro-God. There are forces at work that do not wish God’s plans to succeed. If this seems hard to take, at least it cannot be denied that a great many sins would never have been committed without some pull from the outside. A child who goes to school for the first time will pick up, in a few days, habits and language and attitudes that shock the parents. They wonder what*k got into the child. Her playmates’ meanness has got into her, that’s the nub of it. • * • Sin on the Inside B UT the fact is, we can’t blame the situation as if the situation were the sinner. Not every one who passes a bar-room door feels an urge to go inside. Once in a while a bank clerk skips out with a suit case full of the bank’s money. But the money was there all the time, and no other clerk became a thief.' If it were simply the situation that makes the sin, then every bank clerk would bo as dis- > honest as the worst, and every man who passes a bar would not pass it bat go inside and get drank just like the boms who can’t pans a bar-room door. No, there is something on the in side of us that pushes toward sin. What is it? The story in Genesis may offer a good clue. One of the New Testament writers put it this way: “A man’s temptation is due to the pull of his own inward de sires, which can be enormously at tractive.” (James 1:14, J. B. Phil lips translation.) • • • Sin Beforehand T HERE , is another sad feature of sin that stands out in the Gen esis story and in the story of Every man. That is, sin almost never looks the same afterwards as it did before. Before the sin. Eve sees the for* biddem fruit as beautiful and de sirable; afterwards in shame she hides away from God. Living with herself, with her husband, with God, is no longer the pleasure it had been. However sad or horrible sin may look when wo see it in the cold light of Afterwards, when wo see it beforehand it always looks attractive. In the last stages of sin, to bo sore, it may be quite different; a man may be caught in the grip of a habit he hates, and no one can call him worse names than he calls himself. But in the beginnings of sin, few if any persons see anything repulsive or bad In what they are about to do. That is why *T do as I please” is a fatally bad rule for living. If you do as you please, sooner or later you will please wrong, and down you will go. Adam and Eve did ex actly as they pleased, and lost thojr Paradise. But if wo take as <dur rule of life what God pleases, even if we never reach perfection wa shall always be pointing in the right direction. «K2i“«r by tfc* •f the Charehea ef State* ef America.

The almost fantastic plot was linked to Tamburlani after IS years of investigation. In 1938 the victim, Capt Gual- tierotti, approached his command ing officer, a colonel in the cavalry, and came to attention, saluting and clicking his heels. The instant his heels touched, there was an ex plosion and Gualtierotti was killed. Police charged that Tamburlani, believing his cousin had seduced his finance, bought an expensive pair of boots, hollowed out th* heels and tamped them full of explosive. He gave them to Gual tierotti as a birthday gift. The girl committed suicide when she learned of the captain’s death.
