CHOOSE HYMN
OF THE MONTH
National Federation of Music
Clubs Choose Hymn For
This Month
COMPOSER UNKNOWN

AS this project of the Church
Music Department of the National
Federation of Music Clubs has ad-
vanced through two seasons, its
chairman has brought in hymns
that are found in Hebrew and Pro-
testant hymnals, as well as recog-
nizing many Catholic hymns that
are familiar to Protestant congre-
cations, remembering that a hymn
is the written word rather than
the tune, which may be used for
more than one hymn.
The hymn for June, "The God of
Abraham Praise" is paraphrasa
and christianization of a Jewish
doxology called a yigdol based
upon a metrieal version Of the
Thirteen Articles of Faith COM
posed in 1404 by Rabbi Daniel ben
Dayyam. These articles were
drawn up in the 18th century by a
Jewish scholar, Maimonides. The
old Hebrew yigdol is still used in
the daily services of American syn
agogues. The paraphrase found in
the Episcopal, Methodist, Presby-
terian and undenominational hym-
nails was made by the Rev. Thomas
Oliver, a Methodist preacher, who
heard the original sung in the
Great Synagogue in London in the
18th century. More recent trans
lations have been made by Max
Landenberg and Newton Mann in
1914.
The tune is the traditional Leoni
Yigdol melody arranged by Mayer
Lyon, the one said to have been
heard by divers in ITO, to the
meter to which he adapted his
translation.
The God of Abraham Praise
The God of Abraham praise,
All praised be His name,
Who was, and is, and is to be,
And still the same!
The one eternal God,
Ere aught that now appears;
The First, the Last, beyond all
thought
His timeless years.
His spirit foweth free,
High surging where it will;
In prophets word He spoke OF
old
He speaketh still.
Established is His law,
And changeless it shall stand,
Deep writ upon the human heart
On sea, or land.
He hath eternal life
Implanted in the soul;
His love shall be our strength
and stay
i While ages roll.
Praise to the living God!
All praised be His name
Who was, and is, and is to be
And still the same.
Amen

HTHIS HOUSEHOLD is in for a
i lean Christmas, all right, :"
Bill Robinson said bitterly to his
wife who had just come into the
the living room, dressed for market
ing. Seated in an easy chair, he
looked disgustedly down at his still
bandaged leg stretched out straight
on an ottoman.
Margaret leaned over and brushed
her cheek against his, IT'S enough
for us to see you getting well
again, honey. When / first saw you
after that auto accident, / was
plumb scared for your life."
Bill squeezed her hand. You're
a brick, dear. But we can't expect
our three and five-year-old Off
spring to understand that doctor
and hospital bills have completely
strapped us. Why we can't even
afford a tree, let alone presents I"
Margaret was quite for second.
Then she stood up and, turning
toward the door, said, Speaking
of the children, Bill, they're out in
the kitchen with their water colors,

and the two little Johnson girls are
with them. Mrs. Johnson had some
last minute shopping to do, and
knew you wouldn't mind watching
them again"
ok" Bill answered. That's
the least / can do after the neigh
borly way they treated us through
all this mess"
''I'll try to be home before your
Cub Scout group descends upon
you. Seven lively boys are terrific
handful, know"
VOICES FROM the kitchen broke
into the silence. Judy Johnson
was saying excitedly. Il think I'm
going to get doll buggy"
Back came his own little Margie'S
answer. 'Tm going to get doll
house"
''How do you know?"
"Oh, because 1 asked for one for
my birthday last summer, and
Daddy smiled and said probably
one would come at Christmas"
Bill WINGED. 1t had been so easy,
promising things for six months
ahead.
Just then he heard Mrs. Johnson'S
hearty voice at the kitchen door.
where's Mr.. Robinson? have
something here for him."
"Oh, a Christmas tree!" The
shrill voice of a child exclaimed.
MFRS. JOHNSON was laughing as
Ava she appeared at the living
room door. did you hear, Bill?
Yes, went shopping for our tree,
and picked one up for you folks at
the same time. It isn't so very tall,
but it's big enough to cheer you all
up"
Mrs. Johnson went on talking, to
cover Bills embarrassment. "1'u
take all the youngsters over to my
house for awhile" And she was
gone.
Some neighbor!" Bill glowed.
Still" his face clouded over, THAT
tree may only point up the lack Of
much under it"
A loud commotion at the front
door drew his attention. Come on
in, the doors not locked" he called,
recognizing the voices of his Cub
Scouts.
A whirlwind of blue-clad boys
swept into the room, their eyes
sparkling with happy mischief.
''Oh, Mr.. Robinson" the smallest
one shrieked. We've just finished

And for little Bill, guess whatI"
The smallest boy couldn't keep
quiet. "A Wooden sled, and a garage
for his little cars and some big
blocks, all sanded and waxed and
everything!"
Bill tossed his head to get rid of
the drops of mist in the corners of
his eyes. What a swell bunch of
fellows" he managed 10 say. But

why not?" the biggest Cub said
happily. You're the one who taught
us how to use tools in the first

stopped suddenly, embarrassed.

Bad Weather DELAYS
Spring Planting in
Northern Sections
BY the Asseeioted Press

If it weren't for modern farm
machinery, Old Man Weather
might well have Americans worry
ing about this years food pro-
duction prospects.
The Agriculture Department re-
ports that bad weather has de-
layed the spring planting season
two or three weeks in the north
ern two-thirds of the country.
In past decades of the horse
drawn plow and planter, such de-
lays often were serious. But high
speed tractors, multiple-plows and
planters now make it possible for
farmers to catch up quickly, espe-
cially by working around the
clock.
Many Crops Hampered.
Crops hampered so far by un-
favorable weather include wheat,
oats, barley, cotton, corn and soy
beans. The winter wheat crop
may be the smallest since 1943
and about 1876 million bushels
with farm value of nearly $400
million-below the departments
forecast of last December.
Winter wheat prospects declined
IA million bushels in April after
dropping off 1872 million bushels
between last December and
April /. Major losses were in
the Southern Great Plains, where
dry weather and an infeStation
of green bugs plagued the crop.
But a reserve of $50 million
bushels from past big crops as
sures ample wheat supplies to
meet indicated market demands.
Rigid Quotas Unlikely.
The poor outlook for winter
wheat and delays in seeding spring
wheat virtually assured farmers
that they will not be obliged to
produce the 1851 crop under rigid
market quotas designed to cur
tail production.
This may be the first year since
1943 that production of winter
and spring wheat combined. will
fall below a billion bushels. The
record was 1854 900. 900 in 1947.
Not only has dry weather in the
Great Plains, and wet, cool weather
in other areas hindered produc-
ton. Frosts in the South have
heavily damaged the peach crop.
The yield may be less than half
last year.
The effect of a poor crop year
could be more serious for farmers
than consumers, because big sup
plies stored under price supports
offer consumers protection against
SHORTAGES.

Protect Your Family

Recently home burned in western Oregon claiming
the lives of the parents and children The stage for
the tragedy could not have been perfectly prepared
if suicide had been contemplated.
Here is how the tragedy occurred The house was
built long and narrow with button room in the rear
nailed shut The night of the tragedy roaring fire
built in the wood stove that sat by the front door,
After the fire stocked all went to bed It not long
before the hot stove heated the floor boards where oil
had been allowed to seep into the woodolsoaked floors
are common. AS the stove became red hot the
oiled floor gned envelopng the whole end of the house
flame and also the only exit The rest of the story is
very short-all lives were lost.
This can happen to any home where there is dis
regard for fire precautions insufficient insulation around

Take precautions and avoid tragedy in your family.

Spring Shoes

Lady, your Spring shoes may be
nothing but toe and four-inch
heel, or merely laced-up buckle
and you'll still be a style conserva-
tive.
Nothing that the shoe industry
has dreamed up in the last half
century can match the footwear of
our ancestors, who really stepped
high and wide, if not handsome
according to William H. Dooley,
writer for The World Book Ency-
| lclopedia, and author of the book,
History Of Costume"
Dooley reports that the peak of
shoe fashion in the 1300s was the
''crakow," which had a toe so long
and pointed that it required chain
to hold it up so the wearer could
walk. Pointed toes had been re-
garded as a mark of distinction
from early Roman times, and the
aristocratic Frenchwoman of the
zoos favored a slipper with a
sharply pointed toe, and slender
heel that threw her foot up to
nearly a 60 degree angle.
Two centuries earlier, in the
reign of Queen Elizabeth of Eng
land, a little model called the
"duckbill" featured wide soles-
the wider the better. A law final
| ly was passed to limit the width
to five and one-half inches. It was
at about this time that members of
the wooden shoe set literally lift
ed themselves by their bootstraps."
Their footgear had iron rings at
tached, so that the wearers could
use them to pull their feet out of
the mud.
The shape Of the human foot had
very little to do with the creations
of cobblers of the Middle Ages.
Emphasis was on decoration and
unusual effects-and let the corns
and bunions come where they may.
And while our ancestors may have
known which way they were go
ing, they couldn't tell one foot from
the other-not from looking at
their shoes, that is. Right and left
shoes did not become popular until
the 1850's.

Prohibition In Arizona?
(Yavapai Messengers, Prescott)

Voters are being deluged by petitions At the last
count some scheduled to appear the
November ballot. Among them is which would
return prohibition to Arizona!
Lack of popular outcry for prohibition be arbut
ed largely to two developments One the fact that the
alcoholic beverage industry has, organized group,
stood steadfasy since repeal for sensible laws and
strict enforcement The other is that the outlawry of the
"dry" decade is still fresh in the minds of the people.
'Local Option is what the Arizona drys call their
prohibition drive There such thing Local Option
It is the beginning of another march toward futile prohb
ton.
If Arizonans fall for this they will bring the
alcoholic beverage issue back into politics.
It would restore bootlegging, official corruption and
create disrespect for law and order.
It would not prohibit traffic in alcoholic beverages,
but would divert them from egalized into illegal hands.
It would array neighbor against neghbor, divide
munities.
It would increase drunken driving by forcing people
to travel from "dry" to 'wet territories
It would retard social advancement which has resulted
in 25 per cent crime reduction repeal of prohibition
It would impose costly election expenses upon
munities.
1t would increase the tax burden upon property and
individuals by deprvng federal state and local units of
millions of dollars of
1t would increase the consumption of hard liquor be-
it is easily bootegged.
We do not believe that Arzonans will sign petitions in
sufficient numbers to qualify such vicious legislation

Important Change In
CT Home Loan Benefits

More than 13 million World War
II veterans who have not yet avail
ed themselves of loan guarantee
rights provided in the CT Bill will
find their home loan benefits great
ly enhanced by provisions contained
in the Housing Act of 1850, just
signed by the President.
Important changes in the CT
Home Loan program which will
result from the new law were out
lined by Veteran Administration re-
Gently. Regulations and procedures
to put the new provisions into eff
feet are now being drafted by VA
and will be issued as soon as pos
sible. The principal changes are:
1. The amount of VA guaranty
on an eligible veterans home loan
is increased up to 60 percent of
the loan up to a maximum guar
antee of $500. Previously, the
guarantee was so percent, up to
$4,000. Thus, under the new law,
the 60 percent ratio will apply on
mortgages up to $12,500, with the
guarantee remaining at $500 for
loans over $4,000.
Despite the increased guaranty,
VAS gratuity payment for credit
on the veterans loan will remain
at 4 percent of the first $4,000 of
guarantee used, and so may not ex-
ceed $16O as under the old law.
2. Unremarried widows of de-
ceased veterans who died in SER
vice, or from service-connected
causes after discharge, are made
eligible for CT loan benefits to
which their husbands would have
been entitled. :
3. Combination FFIA-GI loans to
veterans, which currently represent
about one-third of the volume in
veterans loans, will be eliminated
after a future date to be announced
by Carl R. Gray, Jr., Administra-
tor of Veterans Affairs. These loans
are more costly and less advan-
tageous to the borrower than the
straight CT loan.
Under this plan, the Federal
Housing Administration issued the
veterans first mortgage, usually
80 percent of the total loan, and
VA guaranteed the entire amount
of the 20 percent second mortgage.
Net cost to the veteran is about
4.S percent. as compared with the
4 percent maximum interest rate
permitted on straight CT loan.
4. The maximum period of time
over which home loans may be
made repayable is extended from
Is years to 80 years, to provide
lower monthly payments. For ex-
ample, a 20-year CT loan of $8.-
600 results in monthly payments
of a little over $48, as against $42
for a Is year loan and $38 for 80
year loan.
