TAKE YOUR FAMILY
TO SUNDAY SCHOOL
Almost everyone who has occas
ion to meet and work with young
people—as I have had the privilege
of doing for a good many decades—
is struck by one eternal quality re
curring in the youth of every gen
eration. That quality is eagerness:
eagerness to do, eagerness to a
chieve; eagerness to learn. It is a
veritable Niagara Falls of energy
and potential power.
But young people can utilize their
tremendous energies to produce
good in the world only if they are
able to harness them and put them
to work efficiently and intelligently.
Helping to turn these mighty ener
gies into the true power of spiritual
adulthood is the work—the sole
work—of the Sunday Schools of our
churches.
Our public schools do an import
ant job of helping to train young
minds. There are countless civic
programs which help to train young
bodies and co-ordinate young mus
cles and teach some of the lessons
of good sportsmanship. These have
the deserved support of most of our
citizenry. Yet without spiritual edu
cation, a sound background of moral
and religious training, all other
courses of training fail.
In this most important of all the
responsibilities of education—that
of training the mind and spirit—
countless millions of adults are woe
fully neglectful or indifferent or
both. To provide for the schooling
of a child’s mind, to provide for his
physical health, yet to neglect the
health and growth of the soul with
in him is to rob him of his birth
right—and cripple his spirit.
Until every boy and girl, and
every man and woman in this na
tion has become an active partici
pant in a Sunday School and church
program, we are neglecting our
most important national resource—
the spiritual power of our people.
It is not enough merely to send
your children to Sunday School.
TAKE them to Sunday School this
Sunday—take them regularly—join
in the work of the church of your
choice—help to make that work
more far-reaching and significant—
put your own faith to the test—and
you may discover in yourself new
spiritual strength which will bless
your own life, that of your family
and the community in which you
live.

of the Board, Kraft Foods Company.

Collie Crosses Ocean
In Search for Master;
Nobody Knows How
DUNELLEN, N. J. The two
year-old shepherd collie Johan
Jacobsen left behind in Oslo, Nor
way, has come home to Dunellen,
N. J., and nobody is quite sure
how.
The dog was found wandering on
Long Island, N. Y., and was traced
to Jacobsen by a collar tag which
bore his name and home town.
Jacobsen said he left the dog with
friends in Oslo when he returned
here. The friends later wrote they
were moving and would haye to
give up the idea of finding trans
portation to this country for the
dog.
A little information on the dog’s
saga came in a letter Jacobsen re
ceived from a Norway man who
reported seeing the collie on a
plane bound for America. The
man, who Jacobsen said he didn't
know, wrote that he hoped the
dog would reach Jacobsen by
means of the collar identification
tag.
In New York the Scandinavian
air lines said the dog arrived in a
crate by plane. It escaped from
the cargo room, the line said, when
an employee opened the crate to
feed and exercise it. Unable to
find the dog after a three hour
search of the airport, the air line
said it notified the police of the
dog’s disappearance. The dog had
been consigned to Jacobsen.
Paris Lover Gets Revenge
From Girl Who Spurned Him
PARIS.—M. Jules, Paris bank
clerk, took a French revenge

cashier, spurned his advances.
Obtaining a photograph of the
lady, taken when she had en
tered a beauty contest and hid
ing few of her charms, he had
hundreds of copies made.
In the name of Mile. Simone he
then replied to all matrimonial
"ads” of lonely bachelors: "I
am longing for a soul mate.
Come and see me. My photo,
enclosed, will show you what I
am like.”
Lonely • bachelors moved in.
Mile. Simone had to move out.

Homeless Veteran Complains
Of Too Much Human Kindness
ST. LOUIS.—Roy Webb’s joy of
living has been killed by other peo
ples’ kindness.
Webb, a war veteran out of the
quartermaster corps, lost his home
and his belongings in a fire. His
troubles began when neighbors col
lected $772 to help him.
Here are his complaints:
"Everyone is careful to mention
how much he contributed. I’ve add
ed it all up and it comes to about
$5,000. *'
"They all think I’m a rv'l.onaire
because one group said it was going
to try to raise $7,C00 for me.
“The neighbors expected me to
build anew house overnight. I’ve
had to spend so much time at it I
lost my job as a sign erector.
“Carpenters, electricians, plas
terers and others volunteered to
help but none ever showed up.
“People wouldn’t let me build the
kind of house I wanted. I wanted
something fabricated but they all
insist I build something more ex
pensive.”
Webb said he is selling the half
completed house so he can return
the contributions.
“I want to get back my self
respect,” he said.
Gem an Housewives Store
Potatoes in Their Beds
LINCOLN, NEB. American
housewives discontented in this era
of high prices should consider the
plight of German women, accord
ing to Dr. Otto Hoiberg, University
of Nebraska sociologist.
Iloiberg returned recently from
three years’ service in Berlin with
the United States military govern
ment.
The problem of protecting vege
tables from freezing is acute, he
said, and some German housewives
store potatoes in their beds.
A change in the family menu fre
quently consists of switching the
black bread serving from before to
after the potato course, he said.
Coffee grounds are brewed three
and four times and finally pressed
into service as a cake ingredient,
Hoiberg said.
The sociologist urged American
women’s groups to contact German
women’s clubs, through the military
government’s women’s division at
Nuernberg, and aid the latter in
their self-help programs.
Londoner Organizes Party
To Hunt Lost Continent
LONDON.—An expedition to.seek
Atlantis, the lost continent of ancient
mythology which disappeared be
neath the ocean, is being organized
here by Egerton Sykes, former sec
retary of the British embassy in
Warsaw, Poland.
Sykes has devoted 25 years to
study of the mystery of Atlantis and
believes he has located it in the
South Atlantic offUhe Azores. The
expedition will use underwater ra
dar and television. Several hun
dred persons have contributed
funds.
Musical Tastes
Vary Greatly,
Survey Shows
NEW YORK.—Miss Louise E.
Thompson, who has just completed
a twenty-state survey of American
musical tastes, reports that while
residents of Missouri liked “Turkey
in the Straw,” in California they
were still dewey-eyed over “The
Rosary.”
Wearing a leather-fringed West
ern frontier jacket and boots of
the finest quality, Miss Thompson
told of he'r adventures as a one
woman Gallup poll of musical pref
erences. Miss Thompson said that
her trip, which began in California
and ended here recently, was self
financed and really was by way of
being her vacation.
Used Station Wagon.
She made the trip in a station
wagon accompanied only by her
dog, Scooter, who has cocker span
iel and other relatives in Califor
nia. Billing herself in various towns
as “Your Western Neighbor,” Miss
Thompson depended on the folksy
touch to get people to open their
hearts to her about their musical
preferences.
“In the survey part of my cru
sade I discovered that adults like
semi-classical music with a dash
of popular,” Miss Thompson said.
“When I asked housewives what
complaints they had to make about
radio musical programs, they said
that they did not have good music
conducive to hard work in the
mornings.”
Miss Thompson said that she be
lieved that mystery programs
gradually were ousting good musi
cal programs on the radio, thus
creating a musical void that should
be filled without delay.
None Ever Asked.
“Why this tour and crusade?”
Miss Thompson asked. “Because
no one has ever asked adults what
they wanted in the way of radio
music. Teen-agers write in and
ask radio stations for swing music,
thus creating the impression that
the entire nation wants this type
of music.”
Miss Thompson said that while
she did not make specific inquiries
to determine just what songs were
popular in each region she visited,
she believed that the old favorites
such as “The Rosary” and folk
tunes such as "Turkey in the
Straw” would long remain favor
ites. *
Asked what she was planning to
do with the results of the sur
vey, Miss Thompson said that she
would give it to the newspapers
and let it go at that. The survey
showed Bing Crosby in the lead as
America’s favorite radio singer.
Evelyn MacGregor is the favorite
woman singer and the “American
Album of Familiar Music” is the
top favorite among radio musicals.

CATTLE SHOW
CHAMPIONS BRING
HIGH PRICES
ATLANTA.—Some of the best
beef in the state, shown on the hoof
at the Georgia Fat Cattle Show,
will wind up in about eight weeks
on platters in Atlanta eating spots.
The steers, which paraded so gal
lantly in the show last Tuesday,
were sold to bidders at the sale on
Wednesday.
Frank Carpenter, director of food
service at Rich’s, bought the show’s
grand champion steer for the store
at $1.15 per pound. The seller, 15-
year-old Emory Thompson, of Mans
field, pocketed $1,454.75 for his 1,265
pound steer.
Representing Davison - Paxon’s,
Miss Eleanor Kellow paid $1,128.75,
or 91 cents a pound, for the reserve
grand champion, owned by Y. D.
Maddox, a 4-H club member of Jef
ferson.
The grand and reserve champions
made the steer honor roll. They re
ceived “prime” grades.
Never before, according to show
officials, have the grand and reserve
champions brought so big a price.
The 1,070-pound grand champion of
the FFA show went to Mammy’s
Shanty at 50 cents a pound. E. L.
Hollis, representing the Social Circle
Freezer Locker, bought the FFA
show’s reserve champion, 1,060-
pound steer, for 36 cents a pound.
Most of the animals that received
“choice” grades went for 29 and 30
cents a pound. Beef which received
grades of “good” sold for slightly
less and “medium” grades a little
lower.
The FFA and 4-H members were
proud of the prices their animals
brought, but most of them were sad
to see their steers off for dining
tables.
Slender little Y. D. Maddox said
“You couldn’t feed and wash ‘Big
Boy’ (the steer he showed) for a
whole year without loving him a
lot.”

CROP LOAN COTTON
TO BE POOLED
AUGUST FIRST
The Jackson County AAA Office
has released a bulletin which will
be of interest to all farmers who
obtained loans on their 1948 cotton
through the CCC Loan Program, as
follows:
“The U. S. Department of Agri
culture has announced that all 1948-
crop loan cotton, including Ameri
can-Egyptian, still under loan on
August 1, 1949, will be pooled on
that date by Commodity Credit
Corporation for producers’ accounts.
The loans mature July 31, 1949. On
March 17, 1949, loans were out
standing on about 4,400,000 bales of
1948-crop cotton from the 4,865,000
bales placed under loans to that
date.
“Producers may either sell their
‘equity’ in the loan cotton or re
deem the cotton from the loan and
then sell it in the open market. Pro
ducers are urged to give serious
consideration to marketing the loan
cotton before it is placed in pools.”
