JT S WE progress we grow in a variety of ways—we grow in /A stature, in knowledge, and in the means of better living. Nowhere is this more evident than in the home where a multitude of electrical appliances have made living easier, more gracious, more comfortable. Yet many of us neither make the most of the appliances that we own nor have we provided for those to come. The key to better living electrically is adequate wiring-—with-out it you cannot secure full satisfaction from your appliances and you get less service for your money because of lowered efficiency. Besides putting up with the inconvenience of too few outlets, the annoyance of blown fuses, the hazard of haphazard extension cords, there are other important reasons for adequate wiring. Overloaded circuits cut down your lighting, slow heating appliances, and make electric motors wear out faster. Whether you are building a new home, face lifting the old, or Just wish to live comfortably, make sure that your wiring is adequate. See your electrical contractor and ask him to check your wiring system»

Education of Youth Urged Chicago, 111. — Dr. Lester A. Kirkendall, director of the Association for Family Living, proposed today that the Federal government undertake a sex education program for the nation's youth. Kirkendall said a comprehensive program was needed to counteract the “immoral and pornographic’’ impressions of sex inflicted upon the nation’s children. Such a program, he said, would help de-emphasize sex in the United States, where “today it is overplayed, distorted and out of perspective with other values.” Kirkendall formerly served as a specialist in health education in the U. S. office of education and now directs a social agency specializing in intra-family problems. He believes sex education should be included in President Truman’s youth training program. “But it must go far beyond the Army’s prophylaxis approach and far beyond the factual ‘birds and bees’ approach,” he said. “And, it must not be placed in the hands of the Army and its brass hats. “Sex education must be moral. It must include the individual’s social responsibility and help him prepare for marriage and family
life.
We have ho choice between having a sex education program and not having one. The one we have today is wrong. “Most parents ax'en’t aware at what a young age their children are receiving their first important impressions of sex. A study of 530 boys showed that 98.5 per cent had seen obscene and indecent pornographic literature and pictures at an early age, some as early as nine or 10. Parents, schools and churches have failed to provide adequate sex education, he said. “A big ma-

Windolph, who was wounded in the battle of the Little Big Horn. The army still was fighting the Indians in that battle, and one phase of it was known as Custer’s last stand, but Windolph said he didn’t mind waiting for the award of the Purple Heart. “I earned it,” he said. “I was a great soldier in those days. I could do anything, and frequently did.” The formal award of the medal
was scheduled for today on Win-

Crosby, Bergman Top Money Makers Hollywood. — Crooner Bing Crosby and Actress Ingrid Bergman, his running mate in the “The Bells of St. Marys,” today reigned as the year’s biggest boxoffice money-makers. Motion picture exhibitors chose “the Groaner” for the number one spot for the third straight year, putting him on an equal footing with Mickey Rooney and one year behind Shirley Temple, who tinkled the cash registers loudest for a record four years. Crosby fans swarmed to his three pictures in circulation durig 1946—“The Bells of St. Marys,” “Road to Utopia,” and “Blue was nineth, and Roy Rogers, first
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES “Christian Science” was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, December 29. The Golden Text was: “Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” (I Peter 2:9). Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: “For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; Behold, I will send you Rlijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord” (Malacca 4:1, 2, 5 ). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “The great miracle, to human sense, is divine Love, and the grand necessity of existence is to gain the true idea of what constitutes the kingdom of heaven in man. . . . Ignorance of the divine idea betrays at once a rreater ignorance of the divine Principle of the idea — ignorance of Truth and Love” (p. 560).
BATTER’S UP!
Batter’s always up when Senator Ford, Joe Laurie, Jr., and Harry Hershfield, those three daffy disciples of Joe Miller, cook up gags for their WLW-NBC laugh program, “Can You Top This?” which recently began its seventh year on the air. The gagsters appear at 9:30 p.m., EST, each Saturday.
Skies,” Miss Bergman crashed the Big Ten for the first time, jumping from 13th place with four box-office hits—‘Bells 6f St. Marys,” “Notorious,” Spellbound,” and “Saratoga Trunk”— in which she played everything from a nun to a beauty of questionable morals. She took the place of BobbySox Idol Van Johnson, who slipped one notch to third spot. In ; fourth was Gary Cooper, veteran of the 1946 list with eight straight appearances. Clark Gable, all-time winner with 12 successive times in a row before he went in the army, finished 13th this year. Bob Hope, who’s been on the list every year since 1941, grabbed the poll championship for top 10 repeats by a comedian. He came from seventh to fifth place this year. Humphrey Bogart placed sixth. Greer Garson was seventh, skidding from No. 3. Margaret O’Brien, only child star on the list, was eighth. Betty Grable in the cowboy poll, took tenth.
Farm Income Is Increased
Washington, D. C. — The Agriculture Department reported today that cash farm income during the first 11 months of 1946 totalled $2l,O00,000,000, an increase of 14 per cent over the corresponding period last year. Department officials said the earnings made it virtually certain cash farm income will set a new record in 1946. Receipts from livestock were up about 10 per cent over last year despite marketing slumps in June and September when producers were protesting OPA price ceilings. Crop cash returns were about 19 per cent higher than in 1945. Much of the cash income increase was due to larger livestock marketings and higher prices during the last half of October. The increase in crop receipts resulted mainly from hikes ter controls were junked. Although no detailed breakdown on November farm income is available, the department estimated is at about $3,000,000,000. This is down 10 per cent from October but some 30 per cent above November, 1945. Farmers’ income from livestock and livestock products during the 10-months ending in October was $10,265,000,000, while cash receipts from crops was $8,305,000,000. The livestock returns included $5,157,000,000 for meat animals, $2,883,000,000 from dairy products, $2,036,000,000 from poultry and eggs and $189,000,000 from miscellaneous. Crop receipts included: food grains $1,542,000,000; feed crops $1,294,000,000; cotton $1,093,000,000; oil-bearing crops $463,000,000; tobacco $753,000,000; vegetables $1,421,000,000; fruits and nuts $1,235,000,000, and others $504,000,000.

“The few who do attempt to give their children some sex education for the most part limit themselves to the prophylaxis, or hygienic, non-moral approach or to the factual “birds and bees” approach. “The home should do the job, but if we want the home to do an adequate job we must give prospective parents a proper understanding so they may carry forth that education on their own.” In the absence of any program, Kirkendall said, “children receive their sex education from newspapers, movies and from their contemporaries.” StalinTooksWell Says Roosevelt New York. — Premier Josef V. Stalin looked “extremely well” when he visited him last Saturday,\Elliott Roosevelt said upon his arrival here from a six weeks’ tour of Russia and Poland. Roosevelt, the second son of the late President, and his wife, movie actress Faye Emerson, arrived at La Guardia Field yester-
day.
“We visited Stalin in Moscow on his birthday Dec. 21,” Roosevelt said. “We had a very nice time. I can say very definitely regarding his health that he looked extremely well.” Roosevelt said he would continue to oppose certain foreign and domestic policies of the present administration and said he intended to take an active part in the 1948 election. Asked if he had made a definite presidential choice for 1948, he replied: “Not yet.” The Roosevelts will make their headquarters at the family home at Hyde Park. The measure would result in the creation of a fund of three to five billion dollars a year— some of which would be taken out of workers’ earnings in the form of another social security tax and some of which would be provided by the Treasury. As a result, he wrote, “The political partonage . . . would be tremendous. To operate the machinery required would take anywhere from 250,000 to 1,500,000 employes—in addition to the medical profession. More than 50,000,000 cases would have to be checked every year as a basis for payment and statistical information. Federal bureaus of this nature are notoriously inefficient, expensive and political. The medical bureau would have to send investigators into every home. It is hard to conceive any function which would touch more closely the lives of our 140,000,000 people ... I cannot conceive a measure which would more surely lead to all-powerful central government than Federal compulsory health insurance.”
The old Indian fighter didn’t get the Purple Heart for the wound he got while fighting with Gen. George Custer’s forces because at that time it was considered only as a Revolutionary
war medal.
Widolph was hit by a .45 caliber slug while covering fellow soldiers, who were carrying water for the wounded during the big battle on July 26, 1876. “It didn’t hurt much,” he recalled. “It was only a flesh
wound.”
Windolph sayed on his feet and carried omi his misison. For that, he got the Congressional Medal of Honor. He is the oldest living holder of that medal and one of two living survivors of the Little
Big Horn.
He left the army in 1883 because his wife decided it was not “the place for a married man.” Windolph missed death at the Little Big Horn because the dashing General Custer split his command to engage Sitting Bull’s fighting Sioux. Windolph, a first sergeant, and his fellow-troopers of Company H of the famed Seventh Cavalry went to the aid of Major Marcus Reno, who had bene routed while Custer and his 276 men were being wiped out in another sector on the bluffs above the Little Big Horn river in eastern Montana. Relief arrived the next day and the seige was lifted. Two days after Custer’s death, Windolph visited the scene of the annihilation. “The bodies were scattered all over the field and it was almost a mile square,” he recalled. “We worked on the burial detail, interring the badly mutilated dead. Contrary to some reports I’ve heard, Custer was not cut up. A simple stick marker was placed over his grave and one of the men said a few words of prayer.” Milking a Cow Is An Easy Task Chicago, 111. — Milking a cow no longer is a finger exer-
cise.
Instead, it has become a process almost untouched by human hands, Charles O. Sauerman, 19, Crown Point, Ind., 4-H Club Dairy award winner, said today. Here is how he milks his purebred herd of Ayrshires: He prepares four buckets. Two are filled with a warm chlorinesolution. One is filled with cold water. The fourth is empty. With a cleaning rag. he washes the cow’s udder with the chlorine solution. He throws the rag in the empty bucket. With a strip cup, he tests the cow’s milk and start it to flow. Then he attaches the milking machine. He waits three minutes. The milking is done. He washes the cups of the milking machine in cold water, then in the warm chroline solu-
tion.
The milk from the machine is poured into a large creamery can

BIBLE QUESTIOnS ■ANSW-CR-eD BY TH-e VOICE/PROPHECY I NT EUN ATI 0 NAL BIBLE B (LOAD CASTER. . ' Question—What about everlasting punishment? Answer—It’s coming. Matthew 25:46: “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” This everlasting punishment is everlasting destruction. 2 Thessalonians 1:9: “Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power.” q.—what do you think a student Bhould do who has to listen to teachers who bring infidel Ideas Into their class instruction? A.—Proverbs 19:27: “Cease, my Bon, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.” Q.—I maintain that there Is no such thing as a spiritual body. I want you to back me up in your column. A.—Let the Scripture settle it. 1 Corinthians 15:44: “It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.” Q.—Was not the old covenant made with the Jews and the new covenant with the Gentiles? A.—Both were made with the houses of Israel and Judah. Read Hebrews 8:8: “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.” (See also verses 9, 10.) Q.—Is it possible to believe in a real city of God? A.—Why not? The apostle Paul believed in it. Galatians 4:26: “But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.” The writer of Hebrews believed in it— Hebrews 11:16, 10: “But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for He hath prepared for them a city. .. . For he [Abraham] looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” The apostle John believed In it—Revelation 21:2: “And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” Christ believed in it— John 14:3: “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (See also Revelation 21:9,10.)
