THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. as SHOPPER'S CORNER By DOROTHY BARCLAY THE RAYON STORY W ITH wool getting scarcer, and not nearly so necessary with the coming ot warmer weather, it’* good news to you all, that rayon, nylon, cotton and many new fabric alloys, loom large and plentiful on the horizon. So you’ll have lots to choose from at your store, for that spring furbishing of self, family and home. The big cotton crop of 1951 as sures you of plenty for your clothing needs, at much the same price as of yore, in spite of rising wages, taxes and transportation costs. The rayon and nylon story is still brighter. A large carry-over from yesteryear, when many of you weren’t buying, plus a large influx of new fibers, and combinations of new and old, make year shopping easy and worthwhile. Just watch for those sales at your store—and have fun. So important has rayon become, that soon you will be seeing a mysterious label on both the ready- to-wear and yard goods at your store. That large AS (American Standard) is a guide to the best buy for your money, for durability, and perfect suitability to the purpose. And that AS guarantee is due to appear on ali garments and fabrics that contain 50 per cent or more rayon. No longer will you be buying by look, feel and hope. No longer will you be let down when a favorite garment wears out before you tire of it. The AS label is awarded only to rayons that fill this new set of requirements. It guarantees good wear under normal use. Rayon, as you know, is not just one fabric, but a big family of fab rics with different characteristics. When you spy a rayon dress at your store, and see the AS label, you are assure'* that it will hold up well under all the wear conditions to which it would normally be sub jected. For the fabric was orig inally made up, tested and guaran teed for that specific dress. The same for-the-purpose theory applies to the yard goods spread so temptingly on your store coun ters, too. With the AS label, you’ll know the performance standards it will meet, and sew it up into the type of thing for which it was tested, guaranteed and designated. And would you believe it, there are SI different items coming under the banner of these new rayon standards. Your own wearing ap parel, from suits and dresses and underthings to gloves; your man’s shirts, ties, and suitings; and such household stuff as bedspreads, slip covers and upholstery fabrics—all these will have that stamp of ap proval, from AS, from your clerk, and from yourself. SHINE ON RAYON Shine oa your rayon, when you iron it? Then you’re doing one of four wrong things, according to au thorities in the field. Maybe your iron’s too hot—leave it at the rayon spot on the dial of your automatic iron, or alternate on and off if you haven’t the automatic heat control. Or maybe your board is too thinly packed—that could explain a shine. Or you’re ironing on the right side, without benefit of pressing cloth. Or shiny spots appear here and there? That could be soap left from insuf ficient rinsing. It’s not a hard job to iron rayon «—it*s just different. Urowbars Needed To Free Man from Ice-Covered Bed CHICAGO—Police were forced to use crowbars to free the body of a 75 year old man from his icc-en- crusted bed. Officers said that a broken pipe had apparently spread water over file bed where Morris Spiegel lay sleeping in an unheated bedroom- kitchen in the rear of his second hand store. fonkers Bank Lets Clients Make Change YONKERS, N.Y.—-T h e Central National Bank of Yonkers put some of its money out in the lobby re cently and invited its clients to make their own change without supervision. It was only $5, but a principle was at stake—whether the honor system would work where money was concerned. At the end of the day not a penny was missing It was the first time such a thing had been tried in that area. BEST IN SHOW . . . Doberman Pinscher Ch. Rancho Dobe Storm was chosen as ’best in show* at final session of the 76th annual dog show of the Westminister Kennel Club at Madison Square Garden. Showing the champion is A. Peter Knoop. Judging are Joseph Sims and John W. Cross. MIRROR Of Your MIND ^ ^ Some Minds Act In Vicious Circle By Lawrence Gould May your mind work in a “vicious circle”? Answer: Yes. The phrase de scribes most neurotic patterns of be havior. A “vicious circle’’ is a sit uation in which what you do in the attempt to improve something ac tually makes it worse, so that you “go round and round’’ instead of getting anywhere. One of the most frequent cases is that of the mother who gets angry at a child for being naughty and by punishing him harshly, makes him still more fright ened and rebellious. You may get out of a vicious circle by learning to act oh the basis of what you know will be the consequences of your ac tions, and not merely to “relieve your feelings.” May misfortune be “challenge”? Answer: Yes, says Dr. Sandor Ra- do. Professor of Psychiatry at Co lumbia University. “To a healthy person a serious loss is a challenge. He meets the emergency by calm ing his emotions, marshaling his remaining resources and increasing his adaptive efficiency.” But a “depressed” and neurotic perAn does the exact opposite. He tries to repair the damage by reverting to the techniques of his childhood and depending on someone else to con sole him for his loss, as his mother once did. Unhappily, his attempts to gain strength from another person rather than from within himself leave him more helpless than ever. Should we stop using the word “insane”? , Answer: I wish very much that we—and I, especially—could do so. For “insane” is neither accurate nor scientific; it is a legal term de noting someone who has been judged (frequently by people who know almost nothing of psychology) to be incapable of “knowing right from wrong” or of managing his affairs. But it is possible for a person with no moral sense whatever to pass all the legal tests for sanity, and conversely, someone may be driven by irresistible “neurotic compul sions” to do what he knows to be morally wrong. In everyday speech and writing we are forced to go on using the word “insance” simply be cause the correct, scientific term, “psychotic” still means nothing to most people. KEEPING HEALTHY Dental Suggestions and Safety Hints By Dr. James W. Barton r/A'iHILDREN sitting or standing on the front seat of auto mobiles are in the most dangerous position in the car and frequently their teeth are fractured by hitting the dashboard at sudden stops.” I am quoting Dr. Henry Marsh Wilbur, professor of children’s den tistry, University of Louisville School of Dentistry, in The Journal of the American Dental Association. It is also stated that front-seat pas sengers in autos suffer injuries, es pecially to the mouth and teeth, three times as often as drivers. Dr. Wilbur cited recommenda tions of experts that crash pads be installed en dashboards to protect children and other front-seat pas sengers from violent impacts with knobs and instruments that jut out from the dashboard. Also, it is im portant that parents be informed of the necessity for professional atten tion as soon as an accident involving the teeth occurs. “Splints may be ap plied to a block of teeth which have been fractured or a single tooth which has been loosened, and other treatment as the case demands.” It is surprising how much a den tist can do in cases of broken or loosened teeth if the patient visits him immediately after the accident. Another suggestion to help edu cate parents in the proper attitude toward child and dentist is that they stay out of the dentist’s oper ating room while children are re ceiving dental treatment. This was suggested in The Journal of the American Dental Association by Dr. Frank L. Lamons, chairman of the department of orthodontics (straight ening teeth) at Emory University and Dr. Mary Lynn Morgan, both of Atlanta, Ga., who say that par ents should be informed fully about the condition of their children’s mouths and the treatment needed. “Departure of the parents from the scene of action brings miracu lous results in every instance of be havior difficulty.” HEALTH NOTES Health organizations advise reight reductions for millions. Sometimes reducing weight can make you look older. • • • Overeating sometimes is just a family habit and noCheredity. • • • Overweight brings lessened mus cular activity, lack of ambition, mental sluggishness. Each pound of fat holds over three pounds of water. • • • Elderly folk need more than just economic security. • • • Rehabilitation of the patient is an important stage of medical care. • • • Water prevents friction in the body by moistening all the various sur faces. SCRIPTURE: Acta *0:17-27; 22:3-29; II Coriuthiana 11:24-33; Philippiana 3: 4b-17. DEVOTIONAL READING: 1 Corin thians 3:9-17. Balance Sheet Lesson for March 9, 1952 I T is not every man who at the close of, his life can look back and say that life has brought him more than it took aVay. Death, or the approach o f death, is a remind er it is time to bal ance our books There was a man named Paul sit ting in a Roman prison. He was to be tried on a cap ital charge, and there was no cer- Uinty that he Dr For , mon would be acquitted. Yet if the Romans had only known it, that solitary prisoner, whose very food was provided by the char ity of friends, was the happiest man in Rome. He looked back over his eventual life and in a letter to his friends, while admitting that he had lost much, Counted everything well lost in comparison to what he had gained. The balance sheet of Paul’s life showed no deficit, but an enor mous balance on the credit side. • • • Losses Written Off PAUL gave several thumbnail au- * tobiograph.es, some of which are included in the Scripture read ings for this week. So *ve know pretty well what he had to give up. What would strike most of us to day is his loss of comfort and secu rity. Modern Americans want above all to be comfortable and secure. * *V ^ Probably Paul missed comfort and security as much as any man, for he was born to both. But as an “ambassador of Christ” he had had to give all this up. He had long since exhausted what ever money he may have had; he had to work at hard manual labor to support himself; he was a con stant traveler, which in those days did not mean Cadillac cars, Pull mans or even foam-rubber bus seats; it meant dirt and fleas and bad food and seasickness and wrecks (we know of four he had); it - meant sometimes being half- starved, sometimes robbed and al ways in danger of armed robbery. • • • His Worst Losses? B UT there was worse. A wise man does not count hardships his heaviest losses. To lose freedom is more serious. And Paul (when he wrote to the Philippians) had been under arrest for more than four years. He had been jailed at Jeru salem first, then for two years in Caesarea, then a journey in chain* to Rome, and then in Rome for we don’t know just how long. Paul was just the tempera ment that feels imprisonment most keenly. Active, vigorous, always on the go, the four walls of a cell or even the four walls of a house must have galled him terribly. But perhaps worst of all was loss of standing In his home community. He was born both a Jew and a Roman (as a Jew today may be a good American or a good French man too); but the Jews looked on him as a traitor to his lace, a man not fit to live; while the Romans regarded him as a crack-pot at best, a subversive agitator at worst. Whatever advantages Paul had had at birth or by education, he had definitely lost long before the end. Credit Balance Y ET Paul, in writing up the bal ance sheet of his life, calls everything he had lost so much trash, in comparison with what he had gained. To his mind it was like losing a truck-load of ashes and finding one diamond. We ourselves, not being, alas! saints. If we had fixed np his balance sheet, would huve put some Items on the credit side that he does not mention. After all, he \ras then and still is Christendom’s first citisen. For many of us, and all of us caD him Saint, which means he belongs to God’s aristocracy. You can af ford to lose a good deal for that; He was also, and still is, close to the top, if not at the top, of the list of the most influential men in the world’s history, aside from Christ himself. He is this, because almost half the books in the New Testa ment were written by him. Yet he does not say, speaking of his life’s hardships, “I count these things as nothing in comparison with my posi tion as leader ... the fact of my sainthood . . . my contribution to the Bible.” We know what his life-ambitions were: “to testify the good news of the grace of God”; “to gain Christ —to know him—to share the power of his resurrection, the fellowship of his sufferings”; and “by all means to win some.” These things he did; these things no hardships and no enemies could keep him from doing. With these things on life’s credit side, the debits were trifling. Try Bowls of Creamy Soup for a Hearty Meal (St* Rtcipes Below) Let the Soup Simmer COME.
