INFANTILE^PfIRALVSIS FOND
Once again we have an oppor
tunity to share in the unrelenting
battle against infantile paralysis
the dread crippler that annually
attacks America’s children.
We can hope that the chiklrei
of our community will be spared,
in the year before us. We can
not be sure. No one can pre
diet where, when or how severe
ly the Great Crippler will strike
It therefore behooves us to be
prepared.
The Houston County Chapter
of the National Foundation foi
Infantile Paralysis is arming
now, against the possibility of an
outbreak in the summer ahead.
They must have the necessary
funds to help provide the finest
available care and treatment foi
infantile paralysis patients. When
a polio outbreak occurs, no om
knows how much special equip
ment and appliances, or how
many physical therapists a n d
nurses, may be needed.
Our chapter with J. P. Ether
idge as chairman and the Na
tional Foundation are pledged t
see to it that no victim of infan
tile paralysis shall go without
care and treatment for lack oi
money, regardless of age, race,
creed or color.
This is an opportunity to shan
in one of the greatest humanita
rian services of all tim >. Let u
all resolve to give generously.
Let us make this March o
Dimes the greatest ever.

Oil Burners
Oil burners are of vaporizing oi
atomizing types, depending on how
oil is broken up into tiny particles
for combustion. Vaporizing burners
pre-mix the air and oil by means of
blower and control valves. Atomiz
ing burners are divided into gun and
rotary types; the former shooting
the atomized oil vapor into the fire
box, usually from the outside, while
the latter is customarily installed be
side the boiler base and employs a
revolving disc for atomizing. One
of the postwar trends in oil burners
will be in the direction of smaller
burners for the more efficient heat
ing of the smallest types of houses.
Possibly the trend toward utilization
of the heavier oils which began be
fore the war will be accelerated. A
closer co-ordination between the oil
burner and the boiler is also being
developed now.
Refrigeration Important
One authority estimates at least
77 per cent of the food eaten by the
average American family involves
the use of refrigeration or air con
ditioning or Poth for processing,
preserving or distribution. The aver
age diet on which the computation
was based includes dairy products,
cereals, meats, poultry, fats and
oils, fresh and canned fruits and
fresh and canned vegetables. Re
frigeration is vital in the production
of new dehydrated and frozen
foods, is used in upward of 6,000
locker plants throughout the coun
try, and in countless other ways, in
cluding farm freezers and home
*'*orage cabinets.

THE LAWS OF A PEOPLE
LESSON TEXT—Exodus 20:1-17.
GOLDEN TEXT—I will delight myself in
Ihy commandments, which I have loved.—
Rsalm 119-47.
Law is necessary to order. Basic
laws have been laid down by God
for the orderly administration of His
universe.
Physical lows are of great impor
tance, but of even deeper signifi
cance are the moral and spiritual
I laws which control the human life.
There is in the world a moral law
—a distinction between right and
wrong—which man may Ignore only
to his own sorrow, and which he can
not abrogate or destroy. AH laws
of men which are true and right
are founded on this underlying mor
al law, and they are in reality sim
ply a development and interpreta
tion of “God’s Code of Morals"—the
Ten Commandments.
These fundamental laws were giv- .
en to Israel at Mount Sinai, but they
apeak to us with remarkable fresh
ness and directness. They merit
more extensive study than we can |
give them in this limited space, but |
we can note their broad outlines and S
certain practical applications. There i
are two divisions—one concerns
man in his relation to God, and the
other in his relation to men. We
have:
I. A Right View of God (vv. 1-11), ,
The first and most important ques
tion to be asked regarding any law
is, “By whom was it established?”
Legislation by an unauthorized per
son or organization has no power
over others. Who gave the Ten
Commandments? Verse 1 tells us
“God spake all these words.”
Men may sneer at theplogy as be
ing outmoded, but the fact is that
Christian doctrine is the only safe
foundation for Christian character.
1. Whom to Worship (vv. 2-5).
There can be but one true God, and
He alone is to be worshiped. He is
a personal being, ready to enter into
communion with each one of us. No
Image or likeness can take His
place. Bowing down before idols,
no matter what they may be called,
is expressly forbidden by God.
2. How to Worship (vv. fi, 7). We
are to love Him and to keep His com
mandments. There is to be no sham
about this, for no matter how sweet
and pious may be the praise and
prayer of man, he has taken the
Lord’s name in vain unless he keeps
the Lord’s commandments by holy
living.
3. When to Worship (vv. 8-11). God
has ordained that man should not
incessantly bear the burden of toil.
He is to have a day of rest and a
time for worship, undisturbed by the
duties and responsibilities of daily
labor.
America needs a mighty stirring
up about the desecration of the
Lord’s day. The stalwarts of the |
last generation fought a valiant bat
tle against a rising tide of secular
ism and worldly pleasure. Now no
one seems to care. Do you? “Six
days shall thou labor.” Give God
one day out of seven.
11. A Right View of Man (vv. 12-
17).
To be right with God means that
we will also be right with our fellow
man. Conversely, the man who is
manifestly wrong in his rela
tion to his fellowman is either not
right with God at all, or he is not
living out his Christian life in prac
tice. This should show in:
1. Family Life (v. 12). The fifth
commandment has to do with the
relation between child and parent, i
There Is a plain and direct com
mand that father and mother should
be honored. Only in respect and
obedience to parents can the child
possibly find true and proper devel
opment.
Parents who have permitted chil
dren to go astray during the war
years will need to stress anew the
God-required obedience to their au
thority.
2. Physical Life (vv. 13. 14). God
is interested in our bodies. Already
we have noted His provision for a
day of rest each week. Now we
are reminded of the sanctity of hu
man life. “Thou shall not kill,” and
remember there are many other
ways to kill a man other than shoot
ing him.
Let us be sure that we are not
a party to the destruction of any
-1 one’s life either by reason of care
lessness or greed.
Note the emphasis on adultery.
Moral uncleanness, which is so aw
fully common in our day, is one of
the most effective methods of de
stroying the body even while de
grading and defiling the soul with
sin.
3. Social Life (w. 15-17). “Thou
shall not steal”—and remember any
dishonest appropriation of what
does not belong to you is stealing,
call it what you will. And “false wit
ness”—how it has honeycombed our
very civilization 1 Not a little of
it is found within the church, more
shame upon us! Lastly, we come ta
“covetousness” which has been
called one of the “respectable sins
of nice people.” It is subtle and
often hidden. Let us root it out of
our own lives by God's grace. 1
