Newspapers Best
Ad Medium Sales
Surveys Show

Newspaper advertising was ac-
claimed as one of the chief factors
in the success of Jolly Time Pop
Corn by Howard c. Smith,
president of the American Pop
Corn Company.
"Of all the advertising we USE,
Mr.. Smith said, there is much
we would do without before we
would consider dropping our
newspaper Advertising"
Sales surveys show that in
cities where jolly Time Pop
Corn is continually advertised, it
is also first in sales He said,
I'VE could ask for no better proof
of the power of consistent news
paper advertising than what is
reflected in our sales records
This season will see the largest
advertising campaign in the his
tory of Jolly Time Pop Corn, -
or, for that matter. in the history
of ANY pop corn. Over l70(
newspapers in all parts of the
country will carry jolly Time
ads. I'VE have increased oui
newspaper advertising each year
and each year our sales have
shown q corresponding increase
We are now so firmly convinced
of the effectiveness of newspaper
advertising" Mr.. Smith said
that we have entirely discon.
tinued the use of one advertis.
ing medium in order to increase
our newspaper advertising.

GOSPEL TALKS
BY Rev. r. G. Valentine
The Significance OF
The Resurrection

"Jesus our Lord-who was deliver
ed for our offences and raised again
for our justification from. 4:24, 25.
The resurrection of Christ is not
an isolated or insignificant part of a
myth concerning a certain N~azarene.
Rather, it is one of the supremely inn
portant facts of the Christian faith.
1t is constantly linked with the fact
of the atoning death of Christ as one
of the foundation stones of Christian
ity. Without the resurrection of
Christ from the dead, Christianity as
it has been known in history, would
not exist.
The resurrection authenticates the
claims of Christ. 1t teaches us clear
ly that He is what He claimed to be,
the Son of God. He was declared to
be the Son of God with power---by
his resurrection from the dead
Rom. Ia.
The resurrection is the sign that
God has accepted His sacrifice to
satisfy divine justice. The ransom of
His blood paid on Calvary is received
in payment for our sins. We are justi-
fled and accepted in His Son. But IF
Christ be not raised---ye are yet In
your sins."--1 Cor. 1917.
By His resurrection Christ brings
hope to a lost and dying world. He
shows His victory v the powers
of darkness and His triumph over
death and gives the assurance of life
eternal.
Thus, the resurrection is bound up
with all that Christianity stands for
and teaches. 1t is central and faith
in the Redeemer involves faith in
His resurrection. Saving faith is faith
in a risen Christ. "f thou shalt---be-
lieve in thine heart that God hath
raised Him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved."--Rom. 1919. Is this
faith yours?

Veterans News

Veterans needlessly take the
chance of losing their money and
their insurance protection when they
mail cash to pay premiums on Ma
tional Service Life Insurance polici-
es, the VA warned.
A number of NSLI policyholders
continue to send cash to the VA
Branch Office at 1114 Commerce ST.,
Dallas, Texas, for premium pay
ments. Early this month, an eastern
VA Branch Office received an enve-
lope with $1,700 in $100-bills to be
applied to veterans insurance ac-
count.
VA pointed out that a veteran,
making his insurance payments in
cash through ordinary mail, has no
way to prove he made the payment
in the event it fails to reach VA.
Failure to receive the money leaves
VA no choice but to lapse the policy.
Veterans are urged to use money
orders, postal notes with the re-
verse side filled out in fulD, or
checks for NSLI premium payments,
and also to use the yellow envelopes
furnished by VA in mailing the pay
ments to the Insurance Service in
the Dallas Branch Office.

WHAT is ETERNAL LIFE?
SUNDAYS lesson leads us on to
- the answer to the question, What
is eternal life? In Colossians 3:l-4
and 1877, we have the declaration,
"Your life is hid with Christ in
God. If we have believed on
him - cast ourselves in implicit
trust into his keeping - we have
eternal life, which is his gift to ev-
cry believing heart.
Paul goes on to admonish those
who have entered into life eter.
NAL" through faith in the riven,
risen, reigning Saviour, to put on
the garments Of his presence and
power and peace - kindness, hu-
mility, meekness, long sun ering,
forbearance, forgiveness.
The evidence of eternal life Is to
be found in the fruits of the Spirit
in our daily lives.
CERTAINTY OF ETERNAL LIFE
M E READ in John 1913 this
w word of further assurance,
"This is eternal life, that they know
thee the only true God, and Jesus
Christ whom thou hast sent" And
in ! John 5:11-12, we read, "And
this is the record, that God hath
given to us eternal life, and this life
is in his Son. He that hath the Son
hath life; and he that hath not the
Son Of God hath not life"
In another passage John tells
that we know that we have passed
from death unto life because we
love the brethren.
Easter is the day of eternal
hope. 1t lifts above the fog of earth
mess the glory of the blessed hope
that fadeth not away. We have Gods
own testimony that we shall live
with him forever. through Jesus

New Envoy From Britain

Lord Inverchapel has we'll earned the
retirement which will come>to him in May.
In his more than forty years in the field
of diplomacy he has upheld the best
traditions Of the British foreign service.
It is fitting that his career should be
closed with distinguished tour of duty
in what undoubtedly is the most important
foreign post to which his country could
send him.
It is significant of the trend of the times
that Lord Inverchapel should be succeeded
by man new to diplomacy and twenty
three years his junior. Sir Oliver Shewell
Franks, at forty-three, will be the youngest
Ambassador from the Court of Saint James
in the memory of old timers in Washington
diplomatic circles. Though young and a
novice in the ambassadorial profession,
Sir Oliver is a mature thinker, a philoso-
r-economist with grasp of inter-
national problems that should stand MIN
in good stead as his governments repre-
sentative here.
Britain will be particularly fortunate in
having at Washington spokesman whose
familiarity with details of the European
Recovery Program is probably unexcelled
among Britons. Having demonstrated
outstanding acumen as an economist while
serving as British Minister of Supply
during World War II, he was natural
choice as chairman of the sixteen-nation
Paris Conference of the European Com
mittee on Economic Cooperation. His
able performance at that conference added
materially to his stature as an analyst of
world economic problems and revealed
uncommon qualities as potential diplo-
mat. Observers here were deeply impressed
by his understanding of Europe's politico-
economic problems and his knowledge of
the Marshall Plan on the occasion of his
visit to Washington after the Paris meet
ing. In short, there is every reason to
welcome the forthcoming assignment of
Sir Oliver to the Embassy on Massachu-
sets avenue

The Tomb of AeschyIus

An Associated Press dispatch from Rome
tells of the discovery Of tomb believed
to contain the remains of Aeschylus, the
celebrated Athenian poet who founded the
art of tragedy if not, indeed, all "show
business" Excavations in an ancient
theater near Celia in Sicily, it is explained,
have brought to light sepulcher bearing
characteristics of the Fifth Century before
Christ" This "fits" what definitely is
known about the death of the bard. He
lived at the court of Heron I, tyrant of
Syracuse, in his sunset years. And it was
there, according to legend, he died in 456
BIC, as the result of strange and curious
accident. la-
Harper's Classical Dictionary tells the
story in single sentence: Among the
many mythical details with which tradi-
ton has surrounded the life of Aeschylus,
it is said that he was killed by an eagle
letting fall tortoise upon his bald head,
supposing it to be "a stone" If the tomb
contains a skull patiently fractured, both
the monument itself and the legend will
take on added interest
But there is another clue worth following,
namely: A record to the effect that the
Sicilians inscribed his resting place with
the words: Beneath this stone lies Aeschy-
lus, son of Euphorion, the Athenian, who
pershed in the wheat-bearing land OF
Celia; of his noble prowess the grove OF
Marathon can speak, or the long-haired
Persian who knows it we'll" The reference
to the wars in which the poet had fought
with honor Sights his fame as the inventor
of the drama, but it is characteristic of
the modest author of the Agamemnon.
Greece would remember his plays without
being requested to. His role as soldier
and patriot was more needful to be
stressed in an age when freedom was suf-
fering a decline.
Considered from a different angle, how
ever, Aeschylus really did not require
monument of any sort. He built himself
into the human mind as Homer did before
him and Plato afterwards. People pay
him homage today who never have heard
his name.

ago. The Federal Government has agreed
to pay half of the total cost, with the State
and Arlington County splitting the re-
mainder. Arlington County, fully appre-
ciating the Importance of the highway, has
pledged its part, through land acquisitions
needed for the right of way. The appro-
priation sought from the State Legislature
is to meet the States obligation.
The support of Governor Tuck will be
asked by the Arlington delegation in the
General Assembly. The delegates will have
to do selling job, as the Governor is
advocating economy in State expenditures.
The longer the State delays in putting up
its share of the parkway funds, however,
the greater the ultimate cost will be to
both the State and Arlington County. For
real estate values along the route of the
proposed highway are steadily increasing.
1t would be false economy to delay any
longer in acquiring rights of way and
starting work on the Chain Bridge unit of
the parkway

Virqinio's Porkwoy Obligation

If the General Assembly at Richmond
grants the $125,000 appropriation asked
by the Arlington County delegation for
the George Washington Memorial Park
way, Virginia will be serving its own inter-
ests as well as those of the Nation. For
this parkway is desirable not only for its
sentimental value and for its scenic posi-
bilities but for it's utilitarian aspect 1t
would afford much needed traffn relief
for existing approaches to Washington
from the thickly settled areas between Lee
highway and the Potomac River
When the drive was planned more than
two decades ago, stress was laid on the
esthetic angle At that time Arlington
County was just beginning to change from
an essentially rural area to fast-groWlng
residential community. World war IL
completed the transformation Today Ar
lington is a thriving urban center, closely
integrated with Washington. The park
way once planned primarily as scenic
drive along the Virginia palisades of the
river as far as Great Falls now is looked
upon by Arlington residents as traffic
artery holding great promise as means OF
easing congestion on existing highways.
The parkway already extends as far as
the Key Bridge. Construction. of the So
called Spout Run unit, from Key Bridge
to Lorcom lane, near Cherrydale, has
begun. This unit will carry the road
under the bridge senabling motorists to
avoid the troublesome bottleneck around
the Rosslyn Circle, at the Virginia end of
the span. Available funds will pay for
construction of the road only as far as
Lorcom lane, over which traffic will be di-
verted to Lee highway.
To extend the parkway to Chain Bridge
will cost in the neighborhood of 100000,
according to estimates made some months

prophecy was fulfilled: And their prince
shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall
proceed from the midst of them. And will
cause him TO draw near, and he shall approach
unto Me"
The path of that approach, as the light OF
the Divine guiding grew more clear with the
passing years, makes the religious faith OF
Abraham Lincoln towering spire OF the spirit.
AS lad sprawled before the blazing logs OF
his crude abode he wrote in one of his few
books:
Abraham Lincoln, his hand and pen,
He will do good, but God knows when."
But from that early hour he was climbing the
golden stairs of moral excellency and spiritual
understanding.
When the dreadful weight of the woes OF
a divided Nation bent his shoulders and fur
rowed his sorrowful face, those huge footprints
in the snow from the White House to the
nearby sanctuary of worship tell of an inner
compulsion as true as the flight of homing
pigeon.
His estimate G the church is indicated in his
fervent words to the religious leaders who, dur
ing the darkest days, called at the White House:
Thanks be to God who in our great trial
giveth us the churches!"

Off to q Good Sturt

Although there are plenty of indications
of rough going ahead, the action of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee in
unanimously recommending adoption of
a somewhat modified Marshall Plan gets
this vital project off to a good start.
As it emerged from the committee, the
program calls for the appropriation of
$780, 900, 900 to cover the cost of the first
year of the plans operation. The admin
istration had asked for $4,000, 100000 for
the first fifteen months This reduction Is
more apparent than real, however, since
what the committee actually did was to
scale down the recommended appropria-
ton to conform to the curtailmert of the
time period in which it is to be used.
1t probably would have been better to
have authorized the larger amount for the
longer period But the modification, as
compromise, is not bad one. If it serves
to get the program started April by fore
stalling or minimizing fight on the Sen
ate floor it will be reasonable to regard it as
a wise concession. Furthermore, there is
persuasiveness to the reasons given by
Senator Vandenberg for limiting this
opening phase of the program to one year.
1t will give the new Congress and the next
President opportunity to review the pro-
gram, more definite information as to &C
tual needs will be available and there will
then have been time to measure with some
accuracy the extent of cooperation from
the participating countries. Since the bill
carries a sort of moral commitment for
the United States to support the recovery
program through 1852, the chances are
that nothing really essential has been lost
by limiting the initial undertaking to
twelve instead of fifteen months.
The big question concerns, the fate of
the bill when it reaches the Senate floor
Senator Taft's latest pronouncement-
that the S., 300, ,000, 900 figure is 'too large"
makes it evident that even with the
concessions already made there is going
to be a fight against the committees
recommendations.
This is too bad, but 1t cannot be helped.
1t ought to be made clear, however, that
those who go along with the Ohio Senator
will have to accept the responsibility Tor
imprudent cutting of the committees fig
ure. Senator Taft has refused to name any
alternative sum as being proper. He points
out, however, that approximately $780,
100000 must be spent during the twelve
month period On food for the Germans,
and then he says that he believes the over
all total of foreign spending for the year
should be somewhere between four and
five billion dollars.
This can be accomplished only through
a very substantial reduction in the $780,
100000 proposed for European recovery
If any such reduction should be made the
recovery program can be expected to fail,
and if that happens the responsible parties
should not be permitted to dodge respon-
sibility for the grave consequences that
will follow
