THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. SHOPPER'S CORNER By DOROTHY BARCLAY PRETTY PICKLE W ANT summer spice and every thing nice for the coming win ter? Then why not use the summer abundance of fresh fruit and vege tables, and that extra time that simpler summer living gives you, and get in a pickle. You’ll never find a better buy in | eachcs, water and other melon, |iears or cherries, cucumbers, to- tnatoes, beets, and com than you will right now at your store. You’ll never enjoy pickled fruits and vegeta bles more than you will those cold win ter days, when even your kindly grocer is stuck for the want of fresh vegetables. Even if you’re a complete novice at the job, it’s a cinch if you fol low these general rules: Use fresh fruit and vegetables, as near per fection as you can find; and only fresh, top-quality spices; and follow directions and advice from your experienced friends. Perhaps the favorite everywhere Is the sequel to watermelon-feasts— pickled watermelon rind. Weigh tnree pounds of rind from firm. Just ripe (not overripe) melon, and two pounds of sugar; measure off 2 cups of white vinegar, 2 table spoons of whole spice and two of whole cloves; and pick out 6 3-inch sticks of cinnamon. Now you’re ready to peel and cut the rind into pieces, and soak 'ent in salt water overnight. Drain ’em first thing in the morning, cover with fresh water, cook tender and drain again. Then heat your sugar and vinegar to the boiling point, add the spices enclosed in a cheese-cloth bag, then the' rind. Cook the concoction, un covered, until transparent, dispose of the spice bag, and quickly pack into one sterilized jar after another, making sure the vinegar solution covers the rind—and seal at once. A close second in popularity is that delicacy the spiced peach. One guide, based on 4 pounds, or 16 medium sized peaches, calls for a base of vinegar water, two quarts of water to two tablespoons of vine gar. First pour boiling water over the peaches, and let ’em stand un til they’re easy to peel, and stick a clove in each. Let ’em stand in the vinegar so they won’t brown from exposure. Then eombine sugar, vinegar and water, and add the cheese-cloth covered spices, and heat to the boiling point. Add the drained peaches, cover, and boil until tender, and let ’em stand over* night. MORNING FOLLOWUP In the morning, drain the fruit, saving the liquid, and remove the spice bag. Pack the peaches in your hot jars, bring the syrup to a boil and pour it over the fruit. Then set your jars on a wire rack in a cov ered kettle, with boiling water cov ering the tops of the jars by an inch, and boil for half an hour. Then re move and seal, according to the di rections. And what a treat those spicy peaches will be on the night of the big blizzard. For spiced pineapple, also plenti fully available at your grocer’s right now, all you need is two fresh pineapples, pared and eyes re moved; vinegar, sugar, cloves and cinnamon. Half an hour of gentle boiling, and you’re ready to pack ’em in the jars. Always be sure the vinegar solu tion covers the top of all fruit, and you’ll be covered for a spicy fillip to your winter meals. Ohio Weekly Converts To Daily as Town Grows FAIRBORN, O.—The fast grow ing town of Fairborn has a daily newspaper. The town and township had a pre- World War II population of 4,500. In the last five years it has grown to 19,000 and the figure is still rising. Fairborn is located near the Wright-Patterson air force base and 70 per cent of its residents are connected with it. The newspaper replaces the Fair born Herald which had published 84 years without interruption. Indiana Town Campaigns To Exterminate Insects KENTLAND, Ind.—-Kentland has just completed a campaign to ex terminate mosquitoes and other in sects. Due to excessive' rainfall in the area, the area was invested with pests this year greater than at any time in its history. The town board paid for and jaupervised the spraying. Residents of the town policed the alleys and •mptied cans containing water where the injects breed. ! i MIRROR . Of Your MIND Some Persons Natural Friends By Lawrence Gouki Do- some people “naturally make friends”? Answer: Yes, and they do so by being “natural”—that is, free from fear and conflict. It is true that all of us are bom with “selfish” in stincts which, if given free rein, tend to alienate others. But we also have an instinctive desire to be loved which normally leads us to restrain our selfishness so as to enjoy our neighbors* good will and affection. If we do not do this, it is because we are afraid to trust them to be friendly, which in turn means that we felt we were “rejected” by our parents. If you’re basically fearless, you’ll make friends as naturally as you breathe. Should you be glad your girl is a tomboy? Answer: That depends on whether r.er interest in boyish activities like •limbing trees is natural or “com pulsive.” There is no reason why a girl of ten or thereabouts should not enjoy the same things that a boy daes and be permitted to do so without interference. But if she plays baseball, not because she likes it, but to show “she can do anything a boy can” and if she avoids the company of other girls in favor of that of boys, you have reason to be concerned. She may be developing a pattern of false masculinity that will hamper her becoming a true woman when she grows up. Are YA mental hospitals progressing? Answer: Yes, says Dr. Herbert C. Modlin, chief neuropsychiatrist at the famous Winter VA Hospital, Topeka, Kansas. Far from being the mainly custodial institution that so many mental hospitals have been in the past, the modem VA Hospital is concentrating on a postive mental health program which' includes maintaining the health of recovered patients. This involves converting the neuropsychiatric hospital into a “general” one, providing first- rate medical and surgical care as well as social service and vocation al rehabilitation. The new type of hospital is also a center of psychia tric research. A PANEL OF 3 WASHINGTON RELIGIOUS LEADERS ADVISES THE STATE DEPT ON THE CONTENT OP ITS VOICE OF AMERICA PROGRAMS.

Barton LTHOUGH the name asylum which, at one time, had the word “lunatic” associated with it, has gone completely out of use, to be replaced by mental hospital, there are still some mental pa tients and families of mental pa tients who would sooner put up with odd behavior in the home than have the patient undergo treatment in a “mental” hospital, because of their horror of the word “mental.” It is admitted that shock therapy, - shock treatment— insulin, metrazol, electric— has been the biggest advance in treatment of mental ailments of recent years. When a patient can enter a mental hospital of his own free will, receive shock ■ treatment and in a few months be able to leave hospital cured, the greatest possible help is believed attained. However, since becoming an inmate of a mental hospital even for weeks is felt in some instances to leave a “stigma,” a further step has been made recently that may help patients and families who dislike the name mental hospital. I refer to brief shock treatment in an outpa tient clinic. Although I referred to this method in a previous article, I be lieve it worth while to mention it again, so that more families may be willing to give their loved ones this opportunity to obtain profes sional help. % In Psychiatric Quarterly, Drs. Louis Linn and Samuel R. Rosen (Mt. Sinai Hospital, New York City) point out that electric shock treatment on an outpatient basis offers some important advantages in treatment of these mental pa tients. “It permits the patient to stay on his job, at his normal so cial routine, and in contact with his family. It spares him mental and emotional injury of confinement in a mental hospitaL It offers op- portunties for influencing his en vironment and changing attitudes of his present environment. It offers possibilities for intensive individual treatment on a scale not usually realized within a hospitaL” ★ HEALTH Proteins create heat and thus melt and remove excess fat tissue. • • * Proteins not only build new cells, but repair and build up old or worn cells. • • • Salt and water are needed daily by every cell in the body, but the tissues of overweights normally hold too much water. NOTES ★ Exercise replaces fat tissue with muscle tissue. • • • Today, althought physicians may not call obesity a disease, they treat it as a disease. • • • Gone are the days when the only prescription the overweight re ceived from physician was “eat less food.” Well Kept Buildings Add to Farm Value New Materials Make Repair lobs Easy The appearance and condition of its buildings will increase or de crease the value of any farm. Byf more than that, well-kept buildings are an indication of the farmer’s efficiency and his standing in the community, f A number of new materials such as asbestos shingles or siding, ma sonite—a tempered hardboard, ply- board and others are durable and inexpensive materials which the farmer who is handy with tools can use to increase the value of his property. The building in the top pic ture is a discredit to any farm, while the one below, a remod eled version of the one above, will add to the farm's value. Perhaps the old building will serve in its sorry-looking way, but maybe a wind storm will flatten it and any hope of salvage. It’s smart er to fix up the old place and pro tect your investment. If the framework has sagged, of course, it is a good policy to have the building straightened up before anything else is undertaken. From there the farmer who is handy with tools could do the job of repairing. Russia Speeds Up Farm Program; On War Footing The U.S. department of agricul ture reports the Communist pro gram for agriculture is being changed to put the Soviet Union on a wartime basis. Students of the Soviet farm sys tem report Russia’s collective farms are being arbitrarily cut in two. This means that instead of 252,000 farms, Russia will now have 123,- 000. The conclusion drawn from this move is that Russian farmers are being regimentated more. One hundred thousand very big collec tive farms are easier to manage from Moscow than twice that many. Some experts believe there will be mare systematic delivery of es tablished farm production quotas under the new plan. Meeting pro duction quotas on Russian farms has always been a problem in the Soviet economy. Electric Hoist A new all-purpose electric hoist, designed to take the “back-breaking” strain out of lifting jobs on the farm, was put on the market recently. The unit includes an electric motor, trolley, cable and the necessary hooks to fit any make of litter or feed carriers. It will travel on any size or type of track and negotiates carves without difficulty. Farmers who might be interested in the equip ment should inquire at their local dealers. It is .manufac tured by the Flinchbaugh com pany of York, Pa. Serving Molded Salads Offers Glamour Touch To Almost Any Meal COMPANY COMING?

That’s a position not easy to de fend, if you make any show at all of being a Christian. Can you be a business man and not believe in cus- tomers? Can you be successful and not want to expand *1 your business? “Missions” is a i name given to the v|, ^ ^ ^ growing edge of |||j| Christianity, a name Sg m? J| for its expanding program. It is a Dr. Foreman name that stands for everything we believe in as Christians. It stands for the proposi tion that Christ is the answer to all the world’s needs, not yours and mine alone. Christ died for the world, not for the western hemi sphere or the democracies alone. * * » Greatest Missionary Religion ■pHERE ARE religions you cannot ^ “crash,” no matter what yoq do,* unless you -are born ffr^them. J*or example, either "you were born the Child of a Parsee, or you can’t ever be a Parsee. Again, there are religions which you can join if prou insist, but no body is going to try to talk you into it. Take it or leave it. Hinduism is one such religion. ' ■« But there are three mission ary religions, religions that set out to claim a|^ the world for their territory; besides Christi anity these are Buddhism and, Mohammedanism. Buddhism is 600 years older than Christianity, Mohammedanism some 600 years younger; but neither has spread into so many corners of the world as our religion.has; neither hqs won anything like Christianity’s number of converts. • • • Pessimists Are Always With Ui I F THE first Christians had not be lieved in missions, where would we be? Where were your ancestors when Christ was living on earth? If you are descended from any of the nations of Europe north of the Alps mountains, or from Africa, then at the time of Christ your ancestors were a barbarous lot. Using paint about as much as clothing, their favorite - sports getting drunk and savage fighting, they had contrib uted nothing whatever to civiliza tion. Or, if you are descended from the peoples of western Asia or around the Mediterranean, then at the time of Christ they were civilized, tjut time was running out. The Roman Empire, which looked as if it might endure forever, was doomed, even though its final death-knell fras still 300 years away. But decay had set in. > If you had been a church member In Antioch when Paul was the foreign missionary pas tor sent ont by that congrega tion, you could have thought of all sorts of good excuses for not supporting him or his work. “Why bother with those heathen?” you might have said. “As for the nations around the Mediterranean, they are on the way out. Even if they take to Christianity, it will be ofily a shot in the arm. It won’t save them from the crash. As for those savages up north and out west (you would mean, in the countries now known as France and Spain), what have they ever amounted to? They haven’t asked for missionaries; they will proba bly kill them if we send them. Send ing missionaries or spending church money on those people is just throw ing it down a rat-hole.” ‘ • • • Missionaries Once Came To Your Home Town T OOK over the churches in your " home state, whatever it is. You will find, on investigation, that most of them, however large and prosper ous they are now, were once “home mission” churches, set on their feet through the generosity of older Christian communities. Without missions the Christian church would never have lived; if it ceases to believe in mis sions it can still die. The secret? There is nothing mysterious about it. Read what Paul said and see how simple it all is, at heart. The preaching of the good news of God; the enthusiasm and heroism and determination of the missionary; the inspired ambition to do something for God that was never done before; the two-way con tributions, of older churches to new and new ones to old; and the circle of prayer uniting Christians every where, old and new. That is what made missions work then; it is what keeps missions going on now.
