Oak Hill Methodist
Church Hostess to
Fourth Conference
By W. P. LOVETT
Did you ever play “Here’s the
church, here’s the steeple, open
the door and here are the peo- i
pie”? It was like that at the Oak
Hill Methodist Church last Sun- I
day. A group went down that
beautiful stretch of country road
from Lyerly to the church on our
annual visit to the fourth quar
terly conference of the Lyerly
charge of the Methodist church.
It was a pretty scene oi myriad
colors as we rode slowly to the
church. The road was not as dus
ty as usual because it had been
worked and there had been a
light shower before day. Every
thing seemed as though it had
been made exactly right for the
occasion. Upon arriving at the
beautiful little church, we found
the house crowded and we filled
the back seat.
Brother Lipham, whom the
moderns call the district super
intendent, but to whom the old
er pillars of the church still re
fer as presiding elder, delivered a
very inspiring sermon on “Touch
ing the Hem of the Robe of Je
sus.” Later he announced that
great Methodist custom, “dinner
on the ground.” We saw no din
ner or even any tables on which
to place any dinner. In a few
minutes, Brothers Hawkins, Mor
rison, Jones and a few others had
placed the ready-made tables in
a row and ladies were swarming
about with bounteous baskets of
food. For the first time in many,
many months I saw plenty ham.
chicken and all kinds of pies. The ■
great American custom of eating !
“dinner on the ground” might[
have gone out in many places but
not at Oak Hill. Everyone there
seemed to know what to do but
still they made no scarcity of
food. After the wonderful meal,
everyone talked for awhile in the
peace and quietness of the shade
trees.
Then the business session be
gan. There was always an air of
taking your time ... no hurry
... no bother. Every item men
tioned in connection with the
church seems to have improved
recently. Larger Sunday schools,
larger church membership and a
better financial condition in gen
eral were reported. We give
thanks to our Maker for this good
record.
An item of interest was the pe
tition voted unanimously by all
present to keep Brother Adams
as pastor. His salary was increas
ed $l5O and it is sincerely hoped
he will be returned by the con
ference. The district superinten
dent was also petitioned to re
turn. Brother John Vaughn, a
steward of the South Carolina
Methodist Church for 26 years,
was made an honorary steward.
After the benediction, the real
fellowship began. Everyone walk
ed out slowly, giving to all a hap
py .farewell and an invitation to
return. On the outside, every
body stopped and leisurely talk
ed for a long time. This was their
time to get together and see each
other after a hard week of work.
They enjoyed this intercourse
and were very happy. It all seem
ed a great contrast to the hurry
we have in towns and cities. It
seems there was real love there
that is seldom seen.
Oak Hill is an outstanding com
munity. In its atmosphere one
can sense prosperity, peace and
happiness. It is truly “God’s coun
try” ... a place where people
still have real food and plenty of
it. If you ever get hungry, go to
Oak Hill.

DALE CARNEGIE
NO JOB BENEATH HIM
This is the story of a man who
took a job beneath him.
. His name is Albert E. Parr, and
he was born in far-off Norway
in 1900. He is tall, blue-eyed.
He came from an intellectual
family; his father was a philoso
pher; his mother was famous in
her own country of Norway as a
botanist. He himself was so ca
pable in his own line oi marine
zoology that he became an as
sistant in marine zoology at the
j Bergen Museum, in Norway.
He knew exactly the kind of
work he wanted to do, and hied
himself to the famous American
Museum of Natural History, New
York, and told them that he
j would like to get a job working
in some museum. He then out-[
lined his qualifications, which
were pleasing to the authorities ;
bu. they had no job to offer
which they considered worthy of
his ability. The director told him I
all that he could offer him in the [
way of a job was to scrub floors [
and to empty spittoons.
Albert Parr thought a mo
ment. The job was beneath his
dignity. Then he remembered
what a teacher oi his back in i
Norway had said: "You can make [
any job dignified by what you !
bring to it.”
And Albert Parr did want to ’
be connected with the famous j
museum of natural history. So
he said, “I accept. I’ll scrub your
floors —and I’ll do a good job of
it, too.”
That’s exactly what he did. In I
addition, he volunteered his serv- ■
ices in other parts of the mu- |
seum. He showed what he could
do, and gradually the authori
ties became impressed by this i
willing young man.
More and more important work
was finally given to him. While j
he was learning one job, he was !
preparing himself for the one
ahead.
Eventually, there was a change
in directors of the famous mu
seum and Albert Parr was chosen
director, the young man who
had been willing, 17 years before,
to take a job that was beneath
him. He had seen the job as an
opportunity to advance in his
chosen profession, and he had
brought dignity to it.
HOUSE&HOME
By MARY E. DAGUE
Remember when you were in
your teens? Your appetite was
finicky and you were a problem
even in those days of abundant
markets.
Teen-age boys and girls require
fully as much food and fre
quently more—than moderately
active adults. So the necessity
for planning well-balanced meals
for the entire school day be
comes of paramount importance.
Good nutrition reflects itself
in happy, healthy and alert j
youngsters and each of the three j
meals a day should contribute
about one-fourth to one-third of [
the daily requirements.
Because it doesn’t seem impor- [
tant to the youngsters "how-good '
for-you” any food may be meals ;
for the school day must be
tempting to eat as well as nu
tritious. The urge to. eat only
those foods that are good to taste
and satisfying adds to the dif
ilculty of planning school-day
meals. i
Don’t forget that the after-1
school snack is approved by nu
tritionists. Os course, this extra!
meal should be light and nour-l
ishing. Such foods as milk, fruits,'
crackers and cookies are ideal
and they won’t interfere with
dinner-time appetites when eat
en in moderate amounts in the
middle of the afternoon.
Hearty soups are splendid for
noon meals. Served with crisp
toast, crackers or croutons,
luncheon will be satisfying as
well as nutritious.
A quick and easy soup is made
by combining condensed tomato
soup with cooked or canned corn.
Quick Lunch Chowder
Two cups condensed tomato
soup, one cup canned corn, one
teaspoon grated onion two table
spoons minced green pepper, one
tablespoon butter or margarine,
four teaspoons cracker meal, two
cups milk, salt and pepper, four
I teaspoons minced parsley.
Melt butter in sauce pan, add
onion and simmer two or three
minutes. Add soup, corn, green
pepper, cracker meal and milk
and bring to boiling, stirring con
stantly. Reduce heat and simmer
10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
■ Season with salt and pepper and
serve with parsley sprinkled over
.top.

Shippers of South
Estimate Increase
While freight car loadings
throughout the country are ex
pected to show an average gain
of 9.8 per cent in the fourth quar
ter of 1946 over actual loadings
in 1945’s last quarter, shippers in
the Southeast anticipate a 6.6
per cent increase, according to
the forecast of the 13 shippers’
advisory boards, just made pub
lic in Atlanta.
In the Southeast, 813,149 cars
are expected to be needed, while
a year ago 762,789 cars actually
were loaded, an estimated in
[ crease of 50.360 cars, or 6.6 per

it is estimated 7,599,575 cars
would be required, which com
pares with 6,924,123 actual load-

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: SUMMERVILLE, GA.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Efforts
of the administration to work
toward a balanced budget, and
announcement that for the first
time in many years receipts for
the first quarter of the present
fiscal year exceeded disburse
ments, was a topic of favorable
discussion in Washington this
week.
While the maritime strike, the
unsuccessful attempts at solution
of the multifarious questions at
the Paris conference, ousting of
Secretary Wallace, probable re
sults of the coming congression
al elections, all were claiming
their due share of attention, the
favorable position of the Govern
ment finances and the determin
ed effort of President Truman to
withstand pressure to loosen the
Government purse strings, top
ped the list.
At the first of the year, deficit
estimates for the Treasury De
partment for this quarter totaled
$4,500,000,000 and President Tru
man in August forecast a deficit,
for the year, of $1,900,000,000. As
a matter of fact, the receipts for
the first three months were
$119,306,000 more than the Gov
ernment spent for the period.
This does not indicate, however,
that there will not be a deficit
for the year, what with GI ter
minal pay, world bank and mon
etary fund commitments and
other things which will cause ex
penditures to mount in the com
ing quarter. However, the deficit
of $1,900,000,000 is a tremendous
come-down from the 21 billion
dollar deficit of last year than
the 54-billion dollar deficit for
the 1945 fiscal year.
♦ ♦ ♦
That some congressmen and
senators do not like the Presi
dent’s economy move in which,
by presidential order, he sharply
curtailed budget expenditures, is
indicated in his sharp refusal to
withdraw his curtailment of the
pork-barrel $500,000,000 rivers
and harbors and floor control ap
propriations, which he slashed
approximately two-thirds. No less
personage than Senator McKel
lar, of Tennessee, acting presi
dent of the Senate, sought to
have the President rescind his
order, but without avail. And as
a result, at a recent meeting of
the rivers and harbors commit
tee resolutions were adopted crit
icizing the President and asking
him to rescind his order. Many
members of the Congress favor
a balanced budget, but would
like to balance it at the expense
of someone else’s pork barrel in
some state other than their own.
And on the subject of finances,
here are some figures which in
dicate the tremendous purchas
ing power which is now in the
country and which governmental
financial experts declare if spent
for scarce goods will start a real
for-sure inflationary spiral. . . .
Tire Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation announced that in
sured commercial and mutual
savings banks, deposits in the
nation amount to $151,628,000,000
which is an increase of more
than 16 billion dollars since June
1945. Incidentally, the FDI point
ed out that “more than 27
months have elapsed without any
of the 80 million deposits in in
sured banks having suffered a
loss.”
♦ ♦ ♦
On the congressional election
front, both national committees
here in Washington are appar
ently confident of winning con
trol of the House and Senate.
Here are some figures which in
dicate how close the battle may
be. There are a total of 435 seats
in the House. Democrats now
have 241 and Republicans 193.
Both parties agree there are 63
doubtful districts in the nation
which may go either way. Os
these 63 districts, 42 are Demo
cratic and 21 are Republican and
32 of them are in the large cities.
The Democrats can lose 23 of the
63 doubtful districts and still
maintain control, while the Re
publicans must win 25. Insofar as
states are concerned most of the
doubtful districts are in Connec
ticut and Missouri, the Presi
dent’s home state. There are sev
en doubtful districts in New York,
seven in Pennsylvania, five in Il
linois, five in Ohio, six in Cali
fornia and the rest are scattered
through 20 states. Three whole
states are affected, the six Con
necticut districts which comprise
the entire state, and one district
each in Delaware and Wyoming
where each has only one repre
sentative.
