THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C the Home Town pgpOPTGP | IN WASHINGTON MIRROR Movies Aid Of Your o ■ Mental Health MIND By Lawrence Gould WALTER SHEAD, WNU Correspondent Tideland Oil A NUMBER of humorists in the capital have suggested it might be a good idea for the federal gov ernment to chain down Washing ton’s monument and other national shrines since the house voted 265 to 109 to give the oil-rich tidelands to the states of Oalifbrnia, Texas end Louisiana. They contend there no telling what the present un- ♦redictable congress will give away »ext. Aside from the humorous aspects of the question and the editorial comment in numerous newspapers, the long dispute between the fed eral government and the states in question over the ownership of this valuable property may be nearing an end. The measure has powerful support in the senate and it appears likely that the house bill or some other measure, will be reported out for action. This is the answer of the nterested states to the supreme ourt ruling that submerged lands ff-shore are subject to federal con trol. They carried their fight to the congress and may succeed in get ting the court’s ruling circumvent ed. • * • Truman Vefo Expected There is one big stumbling block in the path of the states, however. President Truman has vigorously opposed return of the tidelands to the states. He previously vetoed a measure similar to the one passed by the house. Administration lead ers have predicted he will use the veto again if the senate approves the measure. Although the house might override the veto, it is unlikely that the necessary two-thirds vote could be obtained in the senate. But as the Washington humorists like to point out, there is no telling what this con gress will do. # * • Settlement Necessary A final settlement of the question, as soon as possible, is of the ut most importance to the nation. With the country’s near east oil supplies cut off, at least for the moment, adequate oil reserve for the army, navy and air force is essential to defense. In the long years the dispute has been waged between the states and the federal government, oil has been produced in the tidelands, but the industry has not developed the area’s full capacity. The oil industry is reluctant, and with justification, of con ducting exploratory operations nntil they know with what gov ernmental units they must deal. They could become involved in an unending legal tangle that could prove expensive. The ownership question has been in dispute almost from the time oil was discovered off the coast of California. A congressional investi gation of the matter was conduct- ted in 1937 and 1939 and in 1945 the justice department took legal action against California to recover the lands. The supreme court ruled in favor of the federal government in that action. Later, action was started against Louisiana and Texas, which also was successful. Answer: On the whole, yes, as serts H. Sutermeister in the Ger man “Health and Welfare." They provide a useful outlet for emotions which would create tension if kept pent up. But they involve certain risks for adolescents whose lack of experience may lead them to take what they see too literally. The danger of over-emphasis on sex is not as great as that of young peo ple’s getting the impression that they can hope to get on in the world with comparatively little ef fort and may aspire to a life of luxury and leisure. Villians are not “foiled," nor is success gained as easily in the real world as in the movies. • May a baby make his own feeding schedule? Answer: Yes. The idea that a baby who is fed whenever he wants to be will “give you no rest” is not true, especially if he has been fed on demand from the day he was born. Members of the obstetrical staff of French Hospital, New York which two years ago installed a “rooming - in service” (in which mothers and their babies are to gether from the baby’s birth) re port that many babies settled down to a four-hour feeding schedule in the day time and sleep right through the night by the time they are taken home. And the mother’s average stay in the hospital und$r this system is but six or seven days. Answer: Yes, particularly when he' speaks of your “unconscious” feelings. For unless you have been psychoanalyzed yourself, you can not fully grasp the possibility that what you honestly believe are your true feelings may be camouflage, and that at heart you have quite opposite emotions. You are so sure that you love your child, for in stance, that the idea that you may also cherish secret hostile feelings toward him is apt to seem simply absurd. The analyst neither is ac cusing you of lying nor expecting you to “take his word for it." You may recognize the truth of what he says once it has a chance to “sink in." LOOKING AT RELIGION EAR EDMONIP, OKLAHOMA, THERE IS A NEWLY CONSTRUCTED CHURCH SHAPED LIKE A WIGWAM COSTING $50,000. THIS BAPTIST CHURCH IS LARGE ENOUGH FOR ITS 229 MEMBERS, AND WAS BUILT BY THE PARISHIONERS WHO WORKED ON IT EVENINGS. • • • I KEEPING HEALTHY | Proteins Prevent Old Age Diseases By Dr. James W. Barton M ANY OF US may remember when eating meat (proteins) was considered the cause of rheu matism and gout and how elderly persons were advised to eat little or no meat for this reason. Although milk is rich in proteins, milk was considered good food for the elderly. Today it is known that protein foods are not the cause nor do they aggravate arthritis or rheumatism; it is the starch foods—potatoes, sugar, bread—that contribute to the cause of arthritis and rheumatism. And, unfortunately, many men and women as they approach middle age and become elderly have the mis taken idea that because they are old they must have rheumatism. Some months ago I quoted Dr. E. J. Stieglitz in The Journal of the American Medical Association, as stating that 40 is the time to take a health inventory. At 40 the silent or insidious progressive disorders, so common in late years, first be come manifest. “Understanding the science of ag ing is advancing rapidly," Dr. Stieglitz writes. “Clinical investiga tors in medicine’s newest field, geriatrics, are learning more about the limitations and needs of aging persons.” From 40 to 60, the ages of late maturity, help to determine the future health of the aged. Geriatric medicine, to be fully ef fective, must be largely preventive medicine. The actual beginnings of such common disorders as hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure and degenerative arthritis occur months and even years before their symptoms appear. Good diet is a powerful weapon for keeping healthy and vigorous in later years. And these degenera tive diseases, the diseases that cause wearing down of the body processes because of the wasting away of valuable or needed glands and their juices, are often caused by lack of protein in the diet ★ HEALTH NOTES ★ Food Prico Picture -• The bureau of agricultural eco nomics released an interesting item of news for the home town housewife recently. The bureau predicted plentiful supplies probably will keep ifood prices from going much higher this year. Retail food prices increased 12 per cent during the past 12 months. For the year 1951 they will be approximately ,10 per cent higher than in 1950. The bureau also reported beef- •cattle prices at times may drop below ceilings during the heavy marketing season this fall, but a strong consumer demand for meat ■"may prevent any substantial de cline in prices." i * # • . (Farm Machinery A recent survey of farm-belt re tail stores revealed that farmers have slowed down their rush to buy farm machinery. Much of the reason is due to tightened credit controls and uncertainty over the future. On feome items of f a r m machinery, sales were reported down as much as 50 per cent from July one year ago. Machinery sales have been amounting to $2 billion yearly in the past three years. * .+ * Soviet Peace Bid Nikolai Shvemik, technically the chief of state of the Soviet Union, pent a five-power peace pact to President Truman, calling for peace through disarmament and a ban on the manufacture of atomic weapons. Administration officials reported there was nothing new in the Soviet proposal. It carried the old themes so often rejected by the U.S. and is considered merely a propaganda .maneuver by the Soviet in its fight Against the west Tonsils should not be removed if they are filtering blood efficiently. • • • Ask your doctor.

THE WEEK im iidiaion INSPIRATION Honesty I S HONESTY becoming a lost vir tue in this country? The ques tion is not so preposterous as might seem at first glance. Most Ameri cans are honest and trustworthy. But that does not mean that ideals of honesty are as high and uncom promising as they were—reputedly, at least—in grandfather’s time. It must be admitted that while Tom, Dick or Harry would not think of robbing a bank, loading the dice, or defrauding a poor widow, he might still lack 100 per cent honesty. It is impossible to estimate the av erage person’s honesty rating, but one may be reasonably sure that a great mahy people would fall far short of a perfect score.

Two Protestant clergymen greet a worshipper after a drive-in service for shut-ins in Cleveland under the auspices of the cham ber of commerce. Seventy five persons came in 30 vehicles. Rural Church Urged To Solve Problems RALEIGH, N. C.—Town and coun try churches have an important role to play in meeting current so cial problems in the south, speakers told a rural church institute held in connection with the annual state farm and home week here. The Rev. James W. Sells of At lanta, Ga., a Methodist authority on town and country church work, said that if the rural church is to ful fill its destiny in the years immedi ately ahead, it must speak out on the dignity of labor, the worth of the individual, and other basic so cial principles of Christianity. Mr. Sells, who is extension secre tary of his denomination’s south eastern jurisdictional council, said: "The south is now in the midst of a revolution which is vitally chang ing its ways of thinking and its ways of living. Is this revolution going to be for good or evil, for paganism or Christianity? The answer lies in the hands of the rural church." Churches Refused Radio Frequencies WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Fed eral Communications Commission has denied a petition that churches and other non-profit organizations be permitted to operate low-power frequency modulation radio stations. In a 4-2 decision the government agency turned down an application by the radio commission of the southern Baptist convention and the executive board of the Baptist gen eral convention of Texas for a change in FCC rules to make possi ble the granting of such permits. However, the commissioners avoided the issue of separation of church and state that was expected to be raised in the case. The issue has come up in several recent cases involving religious institu tions, but the FCC has always set tled the cases on other grounds. In the commission’s majority re port it was stated that insufficient evidence had been presented of a need for the broadcasting facilities proposed in the petition. The Bap tists had planned to set up in Texas and elsewhere a large number of low-power 10-watt stations. Religion Question Box Q: Do the Quakers have any clergy men? A: Contrary to popular belief, the Friends have church officers —elders and ministers. Men or . women of recognized ability in spiritual leadership are chosen by acclamation. A few full-time workers are paid a modest sal ary by the Society, and “record ed" ministers serving as pastors in the orthodox branch receive salaries. Pastors Lead Broom Brigade NEW YORK—Two pastors—hus band and wife—and 40 members of the East Harlem Protestant Parish here, to dramatize a campaign for clean streets, took brooms and swept debris from a block where many of the members live. Clad in dungarees, the Rev. and Mrs. Norman O. Eddy, co-ministers of one of the parish’s three store front churches, led sweepers into the streets. ‘ ★ ★ .★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ f - m*s - ip%* mm gpr \ * ^ mm i:: x . ■■my- mm m m j? Take to the Outdoors for a Basket Picnic (Set Recipes Below) Picnic In a Basket WITH ONLY a short time remain ing for the picnic season, plan one last, memorable picnic before the season is over. A simply prepared menu with family favorites, with the added plus of good eating and carrying ease will bring cheers from everyone including mother and dad. You’ve probably had picnics al ready which require outdoor cook ing, and those were wonderful. Then, too, you’ve probably had the sandwich, potato salad and deviled egg kind. Now you’re ready for something that’s different. What about a skillet baked chicken with corn bread dressing. It’s a sure hit with all the family. Use young chicken for frying and cut them into serving pieces for picnic style eating. Place a few pieces of the chicken in a paper bag with pancake ready mix to apply a light coating and thus prevent the absorption of grease from the fry ing. You’ll have chicken that retains a crisp and tempting texture. Heat fat in a heavy skillet or chicken fryer, having fat %-inch deep and brown each piece carefully, using kitchen tongs to prevent from pierc ing the chicken while turning. Prepare the dressing while the chicken browns, using cooked gib lets for extra flavor. Place the dressing in the skillet you have used for browning chicken, leaving only enough grease in it to cout bottom and sides of skillet. Top the dress ing with chicken pieces, cover and bake. Then wrap the skillet in sev eral layers of newspaper to keep hot while you go to the picnic spot. Here are exact recipes for pre paring the chicken and dressing: Golden Corn Bread (Makes 1 8-inch square) 1 cup enriched yellow corn meal 1 cup sifted enriched flour Ye cup sugar K teaspoon salt 4 teaspoons baking powder 1 egg 1 cup milk 34 cup shortening, soft Sift tcgether dry ingredients in medium-sized bowl. Add egg, milk and shortening. Beat with rotary egg beater until smooth, about 1 minute. Do not overheat. Bake in a greased 8-inch square pan or greased muffin pans in a hot (425°F.) oven for 20 to 25 minutes. •Fried Chicken 2 frying chickens, disjointed 1 cup pancake ready-mix 1 teaspoon salt Cook giblets from the frying chicken in salted water to cover. Set aside to use for dressing. Roll chicken in ready-mix combined with salt .and brown in chicken fryer or deep frying pan. •Corn Bread Dressing 34 cup butter 5 cups corn bread crumbs (made from corn bread) 34 cup diced celery 1 teaspoon salt 34 teaspoon pepper 34 teaspoon sage 1 egg, beaten 34 cup chicken broth Cut giblets and butter in small pieces. Add to corn bread crumbs. Add all remaining ingredients and mix well with crumbs. Put dress ing in deep skillet and lay fried LYNN SAYS: Try New Flavors On Old Favorites Everyone knows with soft custard sauce, but what about flavoring it with some instant coffee? Serve this on chocolate or cottage pudding. Anybody will like spinach when it’s cooked and seasoned with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Place in a casserole and make nests in which to break raw eggs. Dust with salt, pepper and shredded cheese and bake until the eggs are set. Lynn Chambers’ Picnic Menu •Skillet Baked Chicken •Com Bread Dressing Sliced Garden Tomatoes Carrot Strips Celery Fans Radish Roses •Picnic Lemonade Chilled Watermelon •Coconut Gumdrop Cookies •Recipes Given chicken over top of dressing. Cover and cook in a moderate (350°F.) oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is tender. Remove cover during the last 10 minutes to crisp the crust on the chicken. Crisp vegetable relishes are good accompaniments for fried chicken and com bread dressing. When you wash and prepare these, put them directly into plastic bags so that you can take them di rectly from the refrigerator to put in a basket. Include a vari ety of raw vege tables to nibble with the chicken, such as crunchy carrot sticks, crisp celery fans, radishes and green onions, along with whole plump tomatoes that can be sliced when you’re setting the picnic ta ble. • • • FOR A REFRESHING picnic bev erage, there’s nothing as refreshing as well chilled lemonade placed in a thermos or insulated jug. If you don’t have either of these, use a gallon glass jug or jar for it: •Picnic Lemonade (Makes 1 Gallon) Fill a gallon container with Ice cubes or crushed ice. Pour over the ice 34 cup strained honey or 34 cup sugar, mixed with 34 cup lemon juice. Screw the top on tightly and place the jar in the picnic basket where it can serve as a “refrigera tor”. Surround with relishes and watermelon which you’ll want to keep cold en-orute to the picnic. By this time the ice will have melted to make the lemonade. • • • BRING ALONG plenty of soft, chewy cookies for youngsters and grownups alike. They go nicely with watermelon or other fruits for a simple and well- balanced desserL Like most oatmeal cookies, these are not only ex tra tasty but also nutritious: •Coconut Gumdrop Bars (Makes 16 bars) 1 cnp sifted enriched flour 34 teaspoon soda 34 teaspoon salt 34 cup brown sugar 34 cap shortening, soft 1 egg: 34 teaspohn vanilla 34 cup milk 1 cup quick rolled oats, uncooked 1 cup chopped gnmdrops 34 cup grated coconut Sift together flour, soda and salt into bowl. Add brown sugar, short ening, egg, vanilla and milk. Beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Fold in rolled pats, gumdrops and about half of the coconut. Spread dough into greased 7xll-inch pan. Sprin kle with remaining coconut. Bake in a moderate (350°F.) oven for 25-30 minutes. Cool and cut into bars. Baking powder biscuit is a fine topping for leftover meat pie, and it’s even more delicious if you add some sage to the biscuit mix. Sandwich cookies that go nicely for a snack—use thin gingersnaps put together with cream cheese to which some crystalized ginger is added. Cut cold, boiled sweet potatoes into slices, dip in beaten egg, then fine crumbs. Fry in deep, hot fat until deep golden brown and serve with bam or chicken. Embroidery for Child SCRIPTURE: John 4:4-14; Acts 10:25- 28: Colossians 3:11. . . bEVOTIONAL READING: Isaiah 11: 1-10. One World Dr Foremon Lesson for September 2, 1951 H OW rare it is to think of persons simply as persons, without any tags or labels! We think “police man” or “lawyer” or “soldier” or “farmer” or “Jap anese” before we think “man.” One of the commonest tags we use is the race-tag. So-and-so is a Negro or an Italian or a Pole or a Mexican or a Scotchman, — at least that is the way he looks tc us, even before he Is Dan or Tony or Steve or what ever his name is. We say off-hand, “All Negroes are like that” or “All Mexicans are that way” and we don’t often take the trouble to see whether a particu lar Negro or Mexican is really “like that” or not. But from the Christian point of view, the first and most important fact about any person is that he is a persoh and not a thing. * * • A Lower ftace V T HE story of Jesus and the *Sa maritan woman shows how Jesus treated a person of a “low er” race than his. We needn’t argue the question whether the Samari tans were actually beneath the Jews. In any case, the Jews treated the Samaritans like dirt. On top of all that, the particn- * lar woman with whom Jesus talked at Jacob’s well was poor and with no good reputation even among her own people. The disciples were surprised that Jesus talked with her at all. But as we read the story, it is clear that while Jesus “spoke of her condition" as the old expression is, he was deal ing with her all the time as a particular human being, not 'merely as “a Samaritan." Evidently, to be sure, she was greatly inferior to Jesus, and ad mitted as much herself; yet this fact did not raise a barrier betweer them. • • • A Dominant Race W E often talk of “race prejudice*’ as if it were prejudice of top- dog against under-dog. But preju dice runs in both directions. Of course all race prejudice includes a strain of contempt; but a citizen of a conquered nation may despise his conquerors, the weak may despise the strong quite as easily as the other way around. - In the Bible we have an excellent example of a Christian coming into contact with a dominant, that is, a conquering, race: the story of St. Peter and the Roman officer Cor nelius. Peter aft flrsft did noft want to have anything to do with Cor nelias. God had to shake him into it, so to speak. But once Peter saw the point, ho aaw it plainly: God made no differ ence between Cornelius and Peter’s own people, the Jews. It was not for Peter to call any man, even an officer of the foreign army that occupied his little nation and held the Jews severely down, common or unclean. Which is harder: for a Jew to treat a Samaritan like a human be ing, or to treat a Roman the same way? Which is harder, for a white man to treat a Negro like a human being, or for a Negro to treat a white man like one? It may be hard either way, but it is Christian. • • • “In Christ There Is No East or West** A N old Scotch elder tells this story. “My church had invited the youth fellowship of all the denomi nations in the state to meet in our church, and the officers of our church were to serve the commun ion on the last afternoon. It had never occurred to me that some ol the delegates would be Negroes, but when I stood up to pass the bread and wine, there sat some Ne gro young people right beside the white ones. For a minute I thought 1 couldn’t do it. In forty years as an elder In the church, 1 had never passed the communion plate to any but white persons. But then I thought, after all I am not passing the bread and wine to Negroes and white peo ple, bnt only to Christians. So 1 went ahead with it and I never felt such a blessing as I had that afternoon." The elder had discovered that what Paul wrote is true: in the “new creature" in Christ there is neither Greek nor Jew, slave noi free man; that in Christ’s presence the stone walls that divide the hu man race melt like snow.
