PANCAKE LUNCHEON

st. Peters Church to Observe Old
Lenten Custom; Auxiliary Serves
Pancake Day-an ancient tradi-
tion-will be observed at st.
Peters Church parish house on
Shrove Tuesday, February 6 by the
serving of the annual pancake
luncheon from IL am. to 2 pm.
The menu will include pancakes,
creamed dried beef, coffee, and
cherry pie. The price for the lunch
con will be 65 cents, with dessert
extra. The public is cordially in
vited to attend. Mrs. Richard w.
Comegys, president, will be assist
ed by members of the Woman's
Auxiliary in preparation and serv-
ing of the luncheon. The use of the
pancake as a symbol of Shrove
Tuesday had its origin in the
Striving cakes" associated with
the approach of Lent in medieval
England. At the tolling of a bell
housewives rushed to prepare their
pancakes according to a formula
prescribed by the church. Then
they fiocked to church to be "shriv-
en- of their sins. Hence, the last
day before Ash Wednesday became
"Shrove Tuesday,; and as the re-
ligious significance began to dim
through the years, it simply be-
came Pancake Tuesday" Young
sters in many parts of England
"go a-shroving" on Shrove Tues
day, employing the "tricks or
treats" technique used by Ameri-
can youngsters on Halloween.
Pancake Day is strongly observed
in Canada, featuring breakfasts,
luncheons and suppers sponsored
by civic, social, and church groups.
In the United States church groups
and other organizations in many
cities mark Pancake Day each
year with pancake feasts. In many
families pancakes are the order of
the day on Shrove Tuesday, al
though the origin of the wholesome
custom is sometimes unknown to
those who take part in it.

STATEMENT BY
SENATOR FREAR
Weekly Message From United
States Senator Frear To
People Of Delaware
EXPRESSES VIEWS

U. S. Rep. j. Caleb Boggs on
Tuesday urged the nations key
mobilization directors to assign
high priorities to schools planning
construction and expansion pro-
grams. Congressman Boggs wrote
Charles E. Wilson, head of the Of
flee of Defense Mobilization; Eric
Johnston, chief of the Economic
Stabilization Agency; and Manly
Fleischmann, top official of the Ma
tional Production Authority, that
national security and sound edu-
cation go hand-in-hand." The Della
ware representative said he heart
lily endorses the stand taken by a
number of his states educational
leaders who have demanded assur-
ance that there will be an even
flow of much-needed materials for
school building programs. Mr..
Boggs said in his letters: "a well
balanced, long-term educational
program is primary requisite for
a soundly integrated national de-
fense effort. The youth of America
cannot offer maximum contribu-
ton to our national efforts if edu-
cational facilities are inadequate. :"
In addition to the three national
mobilization chiefs, Mr.. Boggs
wrote to F. R. Creedon, assist. ad-
ministrator for NPA's facilities
and construction Office, that: "It is
urgently requested that immediate
consideration be given to the inclu-
sion of school construction among
: high-priority listings. If this is not
: done, the educational system will
not be able to keep abreast of the
heavy demands upon it." MIR

Text: Zephaniah 3:17. The Lord
thy God in the midst of thee is
mighty; he will save, he will re-
joice over three with joy; he will
rest in his love, he will joy over
thee with singing. A Bible citation
from the Lesson-SerInon is: II Cor
inthians 2:14; 6:1, 2. Now thanks
be unto God, which always causeth
us to triumph in Christ, and MAX
eth manifest the SAVIOUR of his
knowledge by us in every place. +.
We then, as workers together with
him, beseech you also that ye re-
ceive not the grace of God in vain.
(F'or he saith, I have heard thee in
time accepted, and in the day of
salvation have 1 succoured, thee:
behold, now is the acceptedTime;
hehold, now is the day of saliva
tion.) A correlative passage from
the textbook Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy is: Up. 410:14-
20; 454:5-10.) Every trial of our
faith in God makes us stronger.
The more difficult seems the ma
terial condition to be overcome by
Spirit, the stronger should be our
faith and the purer our love-. The
Apostle John says: There is no
fear in Love, but perfect Love cast
eth out fear. . He that feareth is
not made perfect in Love-" The
understanding, even in a degree,
of the divine All-power destroys
fear and plants the feet in the true
path-the path which leads to the
house built without hands eternal
in the heavens" Human hate has
no legitimate mandate and no
kingdom. Love is enthroned.

ChIdren|s Hands Must Not Be Bound

trolled by brain centers. Thus
any deviation from what comes
naturally to child in the use Of
his right or left hand should be
given attention at its source only
by specialists in the field of medi-
cine concerned with such func-
Itions.
Tying up a child's hand so that
he cannot use it is a cruel thing
to do. Being bound angers any
human being past endurance. His
body is thrown out of balance and
he feels lopsided and helpless and
that feeling of helplessness is
maddening to him. He feels he is
suffering at the whim of an
enemy. What good can be ac-
complished under such conditions
is beyond me.
Forcing child to use his left
hand against his nature has, be-
fore now. interfered with his lam
Iguage center. We have but one
such center at our service. Some
unfortunate children, treated SO
mistakenly. have lost the ability
to spell or they read poorly, or
their composition has suffered. All
this trouble, all this misfortune
because somebody interfered with
something he knew nothing about.
There are times when a child's
condition warrants a physicians S
order to bind an arm or a hand.
That is the physicians field, not
ours. He knows what he is doing
and why. No physician ever orders
such drastic treatment without
very good reason, a very serious
