We left Atlanta at 3 P.M. There
are 58 other folks on this sleek 4-
motored skyliner. Ours is the 16,-
000 foot level. It is getting late
afternoon. We must be over the
dry wastes of West Texas or New
Mexico now. We can scarcely
see earth, lost in the pink mists
below. It is quiet in here and two
tables of cards are in progress
hack in the tail. The attractive
hostesses have just passed refresh
ments around. And while the
others employ themselves with
cards, reading, or sleep, I sit here
and marvel. Old country me, at
last up here flying in the very
outer space. I dreamed of this
when I was a kid and tried it, with
outstreched sheet from the well
shed once, spraining my ankle.
I like to watch the great blue-
cowled motor nearest me. I call
that mine. And it hasn’t sputtered
a lick since we left earth at At
lanta 6 hours ago. Purring gen
tly, like a contented cat. That’s it.
And a slight sheen is all that
marks the place of its whirling
propeller.
Boring, boring, ever boring in
to the west! That’s us. Over 5
miles a minute! Headed into the
sunset. It lingers long, for we are
erasing a third of its speed. But
up here we appear to be just hang
ing in the clouds. There is no
sense of our tremendous speed.
Twilight comes to the land of
the sagebrush, as we drone our
westward way. Lights begin to
twinkle at places far below, mark
ing the occasional settlement in
the far reaches of the cactus coun
try. On and on we go, and night
comes. Abysmal blackness is be
low, except for the occasional
twinkle of a light on the desert.
The stars come out brightly in the
clean thin air of the moonless
night. We must be over the moun
tains now. But the smoothness of
our ride does not tell us so.
We are stretching time, for we
have run our watches back an
hour three times. It is now 9
P.M. (midnight Atlanta time). We
are on time and due in Los
Angeles at 9:15. We suddenly run
into a fog-bank, they turn on the
wing lights. Everything is milky
whiteness outside where the lights
strike. I can’t see even to the
wingtip. I wonder if we are in a
predicament, knowing the old
Pacific is just a few minutes
ahead. But no one else seems
bothered so I won’t be either. In
a few minutes we broke into the
clear, and there lay the sprawling j
sea of lights far below that was
Los Angeles. I wondered how we
would ever get down in that place.
But soon a clearing loomed. We
decended by gentle stages. As
we neared the earth, houses seem
to scoot from under us, giving us,
for the first time, the sense of
speed. Imperceptible, we touched
the runway. Propellers were re
versed. A flurry by the engines
soon had us almost stopped, and
we rolled gently to our stopping
spot there at the great Los
Angeles airport. I pulled out my
watch and it was 9:14.
Across the country between din
ner and supper! I didn’t realize
how far I had gone until I came
back on a fast train and it took a
little over three days and nights.
And, folks, that train trip was
wonderful too. The Western Pa
cific’s California Zephyr out of
San Francisco east gave the great
est scenic treat I’ve ever had.
I’ll have to tell you about that
some time. Let me get to some
thing else now.
COASTAL BERMUDA
County Agent Bull of Abbeville
tells me that 35 farmers there
sprigged in Coastal Bermuda
grass the past spring. The several
truckloads of certified sprigs that
the Extension Service brought in
went to foundation plantings in
every county of the state. As many
of these as meet the strict purity
requirements will be certified by
our foundation seed growers’ as
sociation this fall. These will then
be reliable sources there in the
counties for planting seed stock of
this promising new grass.
Now is a good time to see this
grass growing in the fields. Many
county agents have or will be ar-

Bible Comment:
Religious or Racial
Prejudice Was Not
Practiced by Jesus
/^INE of the most amazing and
^ revolting incidents of our
time is the spectacle of certain
people preaching and practicing
racial and religious prejudice in
the name of Christ. And much
of this prejudice has been di
rected against Jews, of which
religion was Jesus himself, and
from whom we received not only
the riches of the Old Testament,
but the records of the New, and
the church itself.
When Paul spoke of the Gos- v
pel of Christ, he emphasized its
universality. His mission and
ministry, he insisted, were to
Gentiles as well as to those of
his own religion.
Was Paul a true interpreter of
his Master? Or did Jesus in any
way limit His mission, or the
benefits and privileges of the
grace of God?
There are one or two in
cidents that, viewed lightly or
thoughtlessly, might indicate
that. But the whole story of
Jesus, the revelation of His
spirit and the general records of
the four Gospels, are so much
against any such interpretation
that these incidents must be seen
in the light of the full evidence.
One of the most puzzling inci
dents is that of Jesus and the
Syrophenician woman. This
troubled Grecian woman had
brought her demented daughter
to Jesus, beseeching Him to heal
her.
Evidently to test her faith He
put in her way stumbling blocks
that seemed harsh and even
cruel. Voicing the common re
ligious and racial prejudice, He
said, in effect, “Do you ask this
of Me, a Jew? It is not meet to
take the children’s bread and
give it unto dogs.”
But He was voicing, not His
own thought, but the sort of
thing that racial and religious
prejudice thinks and says, for He
was about to bless the woman
and her daughter. And He drew
from the woman the reply that
pleased Him. Dogs must be fed.
Human need transcends preju
dices.
HP HIS Italian type hair-do that
the ladies are wearing around
my home town (since that issue of
Life magazine hit the stands) is
enough to drive a man crazy.
My wife, however, looks worse
than most
She says to me, **1 need $25
for a haircut.”
“What?” I screamed. "Twenty-
five for a haircut Never! I won’t
do it."
“Well, we could do It ourselves,”
says she. *T know just how I want
it if you will follow my instruc
tions."
"No." i screamed again. "I told
you when we were first married
that is one of the things I won’t
do. I won’t help you give yourself
waves and help you pin up year
hair. That's out.”
"O. K.” says she. "Hand ever
the $25.”
I think a minute and says
cautiously, "You think we could
do it? It would save $25.”
Without i. word she rushes off
for the’ scissors and a sheet
For the following 20 minutes I
snipped here, clipped there, and
all foe timp handling foe scissors
like a professional When I was
through I must admit her head
looked like an old mop.
She took one look in foe mirror
and rushed out of foe house with
out even taking off foe sheet
screaming. *T’m ruined!”
Two hours later she came back
with a very satisfied look on her
face. I couldn’t see any Change as
far as her hair was concerned since
foe time she fled from the house.
“Andre fixed it” says she. "Isn’t
it wonderfuL”
“Looks like an old mop, if you
ask me.”
’‘Beastl” she screamed at me.
“That old mop has just cost you
$50. And besides Andre said you
had no artistic soul. A child could
have done better than you did.”
Lesson: When they want to have
their hair fixed give them foe
money and forget It fellows
BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
Last week I started off here,
“Childhood’s little tragedies often
become some of our most cherish
ed memories.” And that brought
such a rush of memories that I
couldn’t get nearly all of them on
that page. So here are a few more:
The Christmas my brother was
chasing my colored playmate,
Zeke, with the Roman candle, a
ball of that fire hit him in the
back of the head, stuck for a
moment, sizzled there, and we put
it out by sousing his head in the
horse trough.
The time my daddy thought we
were joking when we said we
could no longer hold that tough-
headed yearling and keep him out
of the corn field when we went to
stake him out to graze. So he tried
him. Leaving the water trough
there at the well, he picked the
chain up, as the yearling. started
down the path. He yanked on it to
hold him, but the yearling got
faster and faster. Soon my daddy
lost his footing, the calf was tak
ing him so fast. But he held on
to the chain and that strong yearl
ing dragged him all through a
brier patch and some thorn bush
es. He sure looked cheap when
we caught up with him and the
yearling had him down there in
the edge of the corn field.
The time I stepped on the hot
end just cut off of a horse shoe

BIG WEEK
Next week, August 17-21, is
Farm Week at Clemson.

The thing grows every year. And
those handling arrangements and
bookings tell me this year’s growth
will be bigger than ever. No mat
ter what your farm or home in
terest is, scan the program and
you will find things of interest
there.

the blacksmith shop. It took it a
few moments to touch the quick
through the leather-like sole of
my bare foot. But when it got
through that, oh bo:;!
The time I drowned six of my
mother’s chicks trying to make
them swim like my ducks. And
the time I angrily threw a rock at
the old rooster that beat me to the
fine mulberries I had just knocked
down, hitting him squarely on the
head, killing him, and I threw him
away down in the high weeds,
only to start limberneck among our
chickens a week later.
The time I stumbled on the top
step, spilling the two buckets of
water that were my nightlj 7 chore,
as the ball game was drawing
nearly to a close there in the back
yard, and dusk was settling fast
across the countryside. Life look
ed awful gloomy to me then.
And the time I shaved the back
part of my heel off on a sharp axe,
as I got in the trough to see them
kill the beef at Mr. Hire’s place,
thus ruining my chances for going
to the creek for some time. On
and on like that any country boy
could go for pages and pages of
memory.
I REMEMBER’
BY THE OLD TIMERS
From Ellen A. Sewart, North
Highlands. California: I remember
when my father paid foe grocery
bill, the grocer would always give
him a big bag of mixed candy In
striped bags. We used to buy gum
that came in small round tins,
with five pieces of gum to foe tin
which was foe size of a quarter.

From Iva C. Oliver, Perry, Flori
da: 1 remember when I was a
child of about 10 my brothers, and
six children who were our neigh
bors. took me on a “nut gathering"
party We started early one Saturn
day morning in October, taking
baskets of luncl) tor a picnic at
noon; a Jug of water and two sack*
to be filled with nuts
I lived in southeast Missouri, and
foe trip was some 8 or 9 mile# to
foe Mississippi river bottom*
where there was an abundance o€
hickory trees and some pecan
trees. On this trip we brought home
enough nuts to last throughout the
winter, for eating after supper and
for mother to use in making de
licious nut cakes and candies.
