The Week in. Religion
By Religious News Service

The season for church converl-
tions is at hand. Within the next
two months. many Of America s
largest denominations will hold
their annual or biennial meet
ings. And in midsummer. no less
than four major international
church gatherings will be in this
country.
United States Protestant
churchmen will be wrestling with
some of the most significant
problems they have faced in
years. One that has attracted
wide attention among Protes-
tants is the question of unity
among Presbyterians.
The three major branches of
United States Presbyterianism
have been negotiating a merger
for years. Early this year a
plan acceptable to the negotia-
tors finally was completed.
Action on Merger Near.
Whether the merger is to be-
come reality will be decided in
part this month at the meetings
of the General Assemblies of the
three groups.
The Presbyterian Church in
the United States of America
largest of the bodies, is holding
its Assembly May 20-26 at De-
troit. The United Presbyterian
Church is scheduled for May rs
June 2 at Akron, Ohio, and the
Presbyterian Church in the
United States. the Southern
body, May 27-June 3 at Mon
treat, N. c.
All three assemblies will vote
on the merger. If they approve
the plan, local presbyteries oi
the denominations will be asked
to vote on it in 1855.
Expected by 1856.
Although there has been con.
siderable opposition within
Southern Presbyterian ranks
officials who negotiated the
merger for the three groups are
reasonably confident that Pres
byterian union will be a fact BY
the spring of 1856.
Approval of the present plar
would set up a new Presbyterian
Church of the United States
with a membership of 3.5 mil
lion.
Besides the union proposal
there is another item on the
Southern Presbyterian agenda
that is attracting interest. It is
the recommendation of the
Southern Church's Council or
Christian Relations that the de-
nomination abolish racial segre-
cation on all church levels.
Declaration Urged.
In report prepared for sub
mission to the Montreal meet
ing, the council urged that the
assembly declare segregation tc
be discriminatory and "out OF
harmony with Christian theol-
ogy and ethics"
The council further asked the
denominations ruling body to
especially urge" that members
of all races be admitted ia

The old cliche that there
are no delinquent children, only
delinquent parents doesn't
hold water with modern socio-
logical thinking. The problem is
far more complicated than that.
But Miss c., who identifies her
self as the principal of a public
school, thinks the only cure for
juvenile delinquency is to jail the
PARENTS sort of shotgun REM
edy for a complicated and deep
seated disease.
"You have had several columns
on juvenile delinquency. but. like
others, you don't seem to be
willing to face the facts" she adj
monishes me. Its up to the
parents to control these little
hoodlums. If fathers and moth
ers knew that their failure to do
so would land them behind the
bars, they'd really go to work.
1.-THE schools having these kids
for six hours day during q
couple Of hundred days in the
year, can't possibly undo all the
damage that the parents do the
rest Of the time. A Is or 16-year-
old girl shoplifter or boy vandal
is the product of his own home.
II a few hundred Of the parents
were lodged in prison for a
month or two, the rest of them
would go to work and make
their children behave. But, Of
course, it's much easier for the
parents to loaf and shirk their
jobs and blame somebody else"
That's a fact, Miss G. And
there are plenty of other people
to blame. There are weak and
irresponsible parents, but there
are also bad teachers, bad NOV
les and TV programs. bad
comic" books, and bad neigh
borhood influences of all sorts
which the individual parents
can't always control. Then there
are millions of children in North
America who come from broken

Wodern Worrioge
Too Simple to Be Effective

homes. Sometimes the breakage
couldn't .be helped. But putting
the remaining parent in jail
wouldn't be the whole answer.
Let's look at this great prob
lem without any hysteria. OF
course. parents ought to main
tain discipline in their own
homes. Unfortunately. the
schools (your school and others,
Miss c. rarely make any at
tempt to prepare young people
to be successful parents. Nobody
shows Dad and Nom how to en-
force discipline.
I have a reprint which would
help innumerable families in this
task. It is called Discipline:
Children Learn What They Live, I"
and it was prepared by Mrs.
Alma II. Jones, one Of the child
guidance experts of the Ameri-
can Institute of Family ReIa-
lions. I'll send q copy. with the
compliments of this newspaper,
to any reader who accompanies
the request with a stamped. self
addressed envelope.
Sending the parents to jail
would be imposSible-unless the
community wants to support the
children elsewhere. It would
often do harm, not good, to the
parents. In fact, no one knows
whether it would do good in any
case. The remedy for juvenile
delinquency is good deal more
difficult and complicated than
you suppose. Miss G.. but it GER
tainly does begin with the estate
lishment of happy homes and
the acceptance of responsibility
by parents as well as children.
From childhood TO old age. most
people need to accept more re-
sponsibility for their own acts.
Let's begin by giving them, be-
fore they marry, some adequate
training to be competent hus-
bands and wives, mothers and
fathers. Then we won't have to
send them to Jail.

Why Grow Old?
EutNtui
Foods and
Reduce
By Josephine Lowmon

Unless one has studied nutrt-
ton and reducing diets it is most
difficult to get an estimate of
what one should do. Probably
no other field lends itself to such
fads. This is true because it is
only human for a woman to hope
for some simple idea which will
allow her to lose those pounds
without self-discipline and there
is always some one to take adj
vantage of her gullibility.
A letter before me says, 81 have
started on a diet, but I am so
hungry that I eat two or three
bowls of cereal with skim milk
in the afternoon. viii this make
me fat?"
Whether you lose weight or not
depends on the number of cal
cries you get each day through
your food. AS I have said before,
you can lose weight and eat
nothing but pie a la mode If you
count calories, but would not
want to guarantee the state of
your health or the way you would
look afterward. Some foods are
more fattening than others be-
cause of their high calorie count.
However, this is not the way to
approach a reducing diet.
Get Essential Foods
First be sure that you have
the skeleton diet essential for
health. There are certain foods
the body must have in order to
maintain itself in health. I have
given you a list of these foods
many times in this column.
The main thing is to have these
on the diet each day. After you
fulfill that obligation to yourself
and to health. if you hold your
calories to 1900 or 1400 q day,
you will find that you have few
left for the high-caloried. nom
essential foods.
To go to the letter from which
I quoted. cerals and breadstuffs
and milk are three essential foods
but these should already have
been taken care of on your re-
ducing menus. Therefore. it is
best to I'LL up" If you feel too
hollow, by eating some fresh
fruit, or drinking some skim
milk or buttermilk or tomato
or citrus fruit juice. Several
bowls of cereal, (sugar wasn't
mentioned but win bet that
you put some on). and milk, can
zoom your calorie count quite a
lot. OF course this is better than
filing your hollowness with
pastry or some other such food.

fall clothes by offering you my

PICKLE RECIPES

mrs. J. T. B., Washington
Here are two pickle recipes
which are favorites in my fam
lily for D. M. L., Landover:
Dill Pickles: Three quarts wa

Soak cucumbers overnight IN
cold water. Put q handful Of din
and 2 garlic cloves In the bot
tom of a fruit jar. CAS- my FAM
lily is small. I use the quart
size jar, but II you use q 2

need to add more garlic. The
pickles seem to me to be bet
ter when the larger sized jar
is used.) Pack in the cucum-
bers. Seal the jars. Ready to
use in about 3 weeks. Makes 4
QUARTS,
Bread and Butter Pickles:
Twenty medium large cucum-
bers, sliced thin, 10 medium
onions, sliced, 2 large red pi-
mentos, cut into small pieces.
Alternate layers OF the vegeta-
BILE mixture with Is cup salt.
Cover with ice cubes and top

or fruit juices.) Let stand for
three hours. Sirup: Five cups
white cider vinegar, 5 cups sug-
ar, teaspoon tlumeric, 2 Ia

teaspoon black pepper seed Git
is difficult to find pepper seed
so I have used plain pepper).
Bring strip to a boil and pour
1t over the drained vegetable
mixture. Boil all for 3 minutes
and put into jars and seal.
This particular recipe has al
ways been good and many Of
my friends have asked for it
after eating pickles In my home
or on picnics. I hope you and
your family like them as well
as we do.

1t was Barbara bradshaw,

ed she was the last of the finalists
standing and the 1854 Champion
Speller" in the Fourth Annual

awarded SOS Savings Bond.
The new champ won over field

FinalistS in the contest were

Words of caution were in vain as
the same boy jumped the gun on
the second round and was dis
qualified.
Interest was high and each word
filled with action-parents in the
audience could be seen spelling
the wordS-there were no sounds
only the movement of lips then
a sigh of relief as their favorite
contestants satisfied the Judges
with their spelling of the assigned
