Understanding,
Goodwill Key
To Problems

WASHINGTON. d. c. Most
Rev. Patrick A. O'Boyle, D. d.,
Archbishop of Washington, told
more than 800 members of the
Catholic Interracial Council here
that many of the sores which
disfigure the world will respond
to courageous applications of
understanding, education and
goodwill"
Speaking at a reception given
in his honor Sunday evening
by the Interracial Council at
the Cathedral Club, Archbishop
O'Boyle pleaded for understand
ing and goodwill"
"They are rooted in each
mans appreciation of the Chris
tian dignity and destiny of every
human being. and of the con-
tributions to human progress
that have come from every
group and nation" he said.
CHURCH IS UNIVERSAL
Recalling that the Catholic
Church bears this apt name
because of its universality."
Archbishop O'Boyle asserted that
the church has the obligation
TO be universal"
"She can truthfully proclaim
that she is, she has been. and
she will continue to be uni
versal." he said. She excludes
no person, no group of persons
from her care.
II is as true today. as il was
in the time of st. Paul, that in
the eyes of the Catholic Church
when there is question of
human soul, there is no more
Gentle and Jew, no more cir
cumcised and uncircumcised; no
one is barbarian, nor Scythian,
no one is slave or free man;
there is nothing but Christ in
any of us.

Refund On Wages
Paid To Employers

Some employers are reporting
wages for themselves as well as fol-
their employees, according to Mrs
Mary King Triple. Manager of the
Greenwood office of the Social Sc
curity Administration. employers
in unincorporated businesses who
have reported wages for themselves
should file for a refund of the tan
which they have paid on their own
wages. The application for refunc
should be filed with the Collector
of Internal Revenue before the ex-
piration Of four years after the pay
ment to the collector of the tax
she aid.
~ present, old age and survivors
in>ul nee benefits under the Social
SecuII'y Act are limited to wage
carriers. Excluded. therefore, are
many persons who work for their
living. They are the self-employed-
owners of small stores. farmers. in
surance agents, and others. The So
cial Security Administration has re-
commended that the old age and
survivors insurance system be ex'
tended to all self-employed persons,
Mrs. Temple said.

soon. These flexible lids, however,
dip down into the pan in opening and
closing. Some other cookers have de-
vices which keep the lid closed until
there is no pressure inside.
To prevent burned hands, knobs
and handles should be of material
and shape to handle comfortable
when the pan is hot. Wood is heat
resistant but has the disadvantage OF
charring, or cracking when over
heated. Heat-resistant plastic is being
used for handles of some cookers.
CONFERENCE.-THE simpler ano
easier the cooker is to use and han
die the more convenient it is; the
fewer the parts, the less to get out
of order. Try putting on lids anc
sealing cookers before you buy
Some lids close by sliding onto the
pan, others fit inside the pan ano
seal against the rim. Try both to see
which one works most easily foi
you.
Also try lifting the pan to be sure
it will be comfortable to handle
when filled with food. If the cooker
has a gauge it should be easy tc
read as it stands on the stove. Notice
whether the edge of the pan is
straight and smooth for convenient
pouring. Notice also whether the tor
curves so much that it will be diff
ficult to stir or scrape out food
CLEANLINESS Every part of the
cooker should be easy to keep clean
Good housewives know that q
smooth surface, both inside and out
is easier to clean than rough sur
face. A removable rubber gasket is
easier to keep clean than one which
fastens underneath an edge where
it is difficult to reach. Handles and
outside attachments that are smooth
ly fitted onto the pan offer fewer
places for dirt to collect than those
with protruding bolts and screws.
DURABILITY Pressure sauce
pans are rightly considered longtime
investments and should stand up
over the years with ordinary use
and care. Notice the rim of the pan
especially to be sure it is sturdy
enough not to dent and thus spoil
the seal Removable parts should be
simple and require no special care
to keep in order.
SIZE-Choose a size that will hold
the quantity of food needed by the
family.
CANNING-If the cooker is want
ed for both cooking and canning. be
sure its gauge or control is marked

Purchasing A Pressure Pan:

The shopper who has a pressure
saucepan on her list this year will
find more than score Of makes on
the market. Points to consider in
choosing among them are suggested
below:
SAFETY-All manufacturers have
used materials and construction
strong enough to be safe against ex-
plosion All cookers have some safety
device TO release dangerously high
pressure either a rubber diaphram
which blows out, or a metal plug
which melts. Look for the seal of
approval of the Underwriters Labor
atories. Inc. for further assurance
of mechanical safety.
Some cookers have controls which
automatically hold the pressure at a
point set. regardless of how high the
heat is under the pan. Others have
indicating gauges which show where
the pressure is. In using these. heat
must be adjusted to hold the desired
pressure.
Cookies with flexible lids that
snap in under the rim of the pan
cannot be opened until the pressure
is down. thus protecting tn careless
cook who tries to open the pan too

GOSPEL TALKS
HE GOETH BEFORE

when he putteth forth his own
sheep, he goeth before them, and the
sheep follow him; for they know
his voice" John l0:4.
The oriental shepherd, we are told
does not drive his sheep, he leads
them. He goes before them calling
them by name and urging them to
follow into the pasture or the securi-
ty of the sheepfold. Christ, speaking
of Himself as the Good Shepherd
says that in like manner He goes
before His sheep and they follow the
leading Of His voice.
In His human life on earth, Jesus
Christ, experienced all of life's ex-
periences; its tolls, its sufferings,
and even its death. So, as we follow
Him we find that He is able to sym
pathize and help us because He has
gone before us and knows the dan
gers, tolls and sufferings of the way
He does not drive us ahead but
rather goes before us and leads us
gently home.
The sheep of the Good Shepherd
know His voice and follow Him. He
calls all men to follow Him as their
Savior and Master. Some do not
hear because they do not want to
hear Some stop their ears to His ten
der pleadings and are deaf to His
voice. But His sheep are deaf to other
voices and follow His call. They re-
cognize the authority of His voice
and they love to follow that voice.
Gladly and without hesitation or
delay they follow where He leads
Thus, they have peace and rest. They
fear no danger because their Shep-
herd goes before Their and watches
over them and defends them. They
have perfect confidence in His lead
ing for they are satisfied to be in the
care of the Shepherd of their soul.
Are you following the Good Shep-
herd? Are you one of the sheep for
whom He gave His life? To you have
the eternal life He gives? Are you
following His voice wherever He
may lead?

American Legion Asked
Flo Aid March OF Dimes

T. N. Touchstone, American Legi-
on State Commander, today urged
Mississippi Legionnaires to give their
full support to the 1948 March of
Dimes, which will be conducted here
and throughout the nation January
1880.
In a personal appeal addressed
to all Post Commanders, Mr.. Touch
stone warned that heavy incidence
of infantile paralysis is threatening
the health and well-being of children
everywhere and has become "a mat
ter of vital Importance" to the Am
erican Legion.
THE National Foundation FOR In.
fantile Paralysis is carrying on a re-
lentless fight against this vicious
enemy of our children Mr.. Touch
stones letter stated. "a vast re-
search program is under way, and in
creased facilities are being provided
to assure the best hospital and medi-
cal care for all victims of the dis
ease.
1.-THE need for funds to continue
this important work merits the
wholehearted cooperation of every
Legionnaire in the Forthcoming
March of Dimes campaign"
Mr.. Tombstone asked that Legion
members volunteer their services to
March of Dimes Directors located in
every county in Mississippi.
The 1913 March of Dimes cam

Pruning Roses:
There are three general groups of
roses. Each requires different type
of pruning. These general types are:
l. Shrub roses. These roses are
used for landscape effects and should
be pruned after Towering. Remove
any dead or diseased wood and thin
out canes as necessary.
2. Climbers should be pruned
after Towering also. Remove all
canes 3 years old or older.
3. Hybrid tea roses. For few
larger blooms with long season of
bloom, you should prune these roses
heavily. Cut the canes back until
they are about inches high. Re-
move small branches. Prune in late
February or March.
Prune all roses when they are
planted, cut away all the top except
3 or canes to inches high. Cut
or remove broken or bruised roots.

lots. A Jacobs ladder hanging
over the side offered an easy
climb.
That is; it looked easy, but by
the time he made it, three men
were helping him aboard, where
he collapsed, and they propped
him against gun mount. Some
body handed him an emergency
ration of whisky. He felt better,
or worse, he couldn't tell which,
and didn't care. The hot sun was
good on his body, even through
the wet flying suit. Looking down,
he saw the pale gray sheets of
Kathie's letter sticking out of the
pocket where he had stuffed them
- how long ago? His wristwatch
said eighteen minutes.
liz STILL had one arm through
strap of the parachute, and he had
to free it before he could reach
down and get the letter. This time
the pages opened to a sentence
that startled and delighted him:
"Dr. Thornburg says it will be in
October. l hope it's a boy and l
hope he looks exactly like you.
Do be careful, dear. Don't take
any unnecessary risks. And don't
bother about the chute - only,
of course, if you could get one -"
A stir among the legs in his field
of vision made Ted raise his eyes.
The skipper, a hard-bitten COM
mander, was looking down at him.
"If you've finished reading your
mail, Mister -"
Garter, sir. What about my
crew."
The other destroyer picked
them up. They're okay. And
now maybe you'd like to explain
why you cast that line off,"
Il had to get my parachute,
sir"
"Twenty-seven thousand feet
of water under you, and you
needed parachute?"
No, sir. My wife wanted it.
You know how women are"
The shippers face remained
blank. "You want me to put that
in my report? Knowing how
women are, consider Mr.. Carter
was fully justified in casting off
the line. giving my ship extra
work, and damn near drowning
himself"
Pm sorry sir. It's just that -
well, she's going to have a baby"
so she won't need a husband,
and the baby won't need father.
All they need is a parachute.
mo, sir"
IHE skipper rocked on his heels
judicially. You'd better see if
you can stand on your feet. We're
overhauling your carrier" His
mask of command slipped a trifle
more, and he smiled. Gets her
mind set on things, does she? Can't
do without them? Yeah, l know.
I've gotten up at 3 am, and
