Russia Violates
 Danish Territory
tBy Lasse Lemkow)

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, (P) Danish naval authorities said some 50 Russian planes violated Danish territory in flights about Born holm island and Russian naval units were seen north of the is- land near Denmark's territorial waters yesterday.
 The authorities said Soviet de- stroyers and a few heavy cruisers were easily recognizable as they neared Danish waters. They said they believed these movements were part of naval maneuvers.
 Russian forces occupied Born holm Island in the spring of 1945 and remained about 10 months. The withdrawal came in the spring of 1946, after repeated Dan ish protests.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE?

Lovers of pleasure more than lovers
of God."-2 Tim. 3:4
We are SO constituted as to love
something. This first and greatest
commandment, according to Jesus,
requires us to love the Lord our
God with all our heart, and with
all our soul, and with all our mind.
If we do not love God in this way,
something else will become the OBJ
ject of our affections. II we do not
worship God, we will become idola-
tors worshipping before the shrine
of worldly applause, fleshly satisfac-
ton and carnal JOY.
Now, there is pleasure that is
lawful and healthful. Without it
brain and body, mind and heart, suf-
fer. But it must ever be subordi-
mated to an earnest life and cody
devotion or we become flowers of
pleasure more than lovers of God"
Pleasure is an absorbing power. BY
degrees it destroys the sense of duty
and ignores the voice of conscience.
When it becomes an obsession and is
given the place of first love, it is
sim
Like all sin, the sin of loving plea
sure more than God, must be re-
pented of and forsaken. Only as we
turn in faith to Christ can our sins
be forgiven. Only as we put God
first can we be kept from loving the
pleasures Of the world more than
we love God. Love not the world,
neither the things that are in the
world. If and man love the world,
the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust
of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life, is not of the
Father, but is of the world. And
the world passeth away, and the lust
thereof: but he that doeth the will
of God abideth tor ever" l John

The right amount of soap is
important, too. In washing by
hand at some time you have
put too much soap in the wa
ter. Remember the slippery
feeling? Before proceeding, you
had to wash out the excess
suds. The axiom IF a little is
good, more is better" does not
apply to soap! In the Bendix
automatic washer, the right
suds level is half way up the
portfolio door,, Washing results
are impaired by the use of too
much soap in any home laund-
ering machine.
AS with soaps, there are two
types of synthetic detergents:
Mild and built, serving similar
purposes. Warning: Never mix
soaps and detergents. Most de-
tergents foam abundantly or
excessively, although some have
relatively little foaming ability.
Most synthetic organic deter
gents have the following quail
tiles: They are found to cause
only small amounts of water
insoluable compounds when
used in hard water; they are
able to greatly reduce the sur
face tension of water and
therefore are said to make wa
ter wetter-have the ability to
pentrate fabrics faster and more
thoroughly.
Consult labels on the gar
ments to determine whether to
use a mild or built soap or
detergent. 1t is just as neces-
sary to use the correct amount
of detergent as the correct
amount of soap. Generally
speaking, better results are OBJ
tanned with hotter water.
In concluding our discussion
of soaps and detergents, we
must not overlook the correct
washing time. Soil is carried
away by soap Tor detergent)
and water. However, if clothes
are allowed to wash too long
in the same water, the soil is
partially redeposited on the
Clothes The correct washing
time must be geared to the
amount of soil to be removed.

CARE Sets Record
For Delivery Of
Food. Textile Packs

e, CARE set a record of $780,
106 food and clothing textile
packages delivered in II Europ-
can countries in 1947 and is on
the way to an even greater
volume of overseas aid in 1948,
Executive Director Paul Comfy
French stated recently in his
annual report to the Board of
Directors.
CARES non-profit, govern
ment-approved service last year
tripled the 992,749 CARE orders
filled for American seeking to
aid friends and relatives over
seas in 1916 the first year of
CARE operation.
These figures reflect CARES
increased usefulness as the Or
ganization met more needs
specifically by substituting spe-
cially prepared food packages
for the army surplus 1O-in-1
package and by adding during
the year, blanket, wooden, cot
ton and household linen pack
ages designed to provide need
ed textiles" French's report
said. Also added in 1947 were
layette and infant and baby
food packages, a kosher food
package and special food pack
ages conforming to the diet
requirement of Great Britain,
Fire and Italy.
Noting the recent enactment
of the European Recovery pro-
gram, French said it would
"give encouragement to the
nations of Europe that the
wealth of the United States is
supporting them in their eff
forts to recover from the dev-
aStation of the war;.
However," he continued, "it
does not diminish the need fol-
direct individual help such as
CARE has been providing. MOI
does it give the individual the
feeling that someone in Ameri-
ca is interested in him as q
