f h Lf T THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE TWO SUIT) Song j of Thankfulness Lesson for August 7: Psalms S2;2-; 103:1-11 Memory Selection: Psalms 92:1 TNGRATlTUDE has been branded i by Jesus. Shakespeare, and ; others as one of the lowest of ' transgressions. Craven indeed is the man who can receive without a word of thanks. In the lesson text of today are portions each of two psalms of thanksgiving. The first of these was used in the temple liturgy at the time the first lamb was sacrificed. The 103rd psalm has been through the ages a fitting cong of thanksgiving. The 92nd psalm declares "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord." It blesses him who gives thanks and it pleases the God who gives to him. The naming i of musical instruments of the time, j used in the temple, may remind some of the family prayer they knew in childhood, when a hymn was often sung in connection with Bible reading and prayer. Thanks giving is good both morning and evening. The regularity of family prayer helped to make it a bless ing. The writer knew a blessed home in which the father, an elder of his church, never allowed any thing to interfere with the prayer. The 103rd psalm is a beautiful acknowledgment of God's good ness to the individual and the na tion. As a kind Father, God is ever concerned for us in our needs and our distress. And through the aes the Al mighty Father has been stronger than the oppressors of mankind. He is ever merciful toward the wrongdoer, His lovingkiadness is as great as the heavens above the earth are high. .

Matthew Henry, the great Bi ble scholar, was once attacked by thieves and robbed. That night he wrote these words in his dairy: "Let me be thankful: . first, because I was never robbed be fore; second, because although they took my purse, they did not take my life; third, because although they took my all, it was not much; and fourth, be cause it was I who was robbed. not I who robbed." Do Christians thank God of ten enough that they are num bered among the members of His Church and not among its p'nemies?

(U.R) D rugs used for allergy sufferers have produced "encouraging results" in treating tuberculosis, the medical publication Annals of Allergy reports, j Two physicians at the Ham burg State Sanatorium raised the hope that the drugs might ' alter the course of the disease." by preventing the spread of lesions which they believe may be caused by an allergic reaction to the tuberculosis bacilli. They reported preliminary findings on 30 cases treated witn - . I I 1 . . 1 . known as antihistamines. Those are the drugs used to treat hay fever, asthma and other aller gies. Writing in the annais, official publication of the American College of Allergists, Drs. A. R. Judd and Alfred R. Henderson said n aill 30 cases the patients showed "increase in weight, ap petite and feeling of well-be hig" after treatment. Improvement Shown While they said 30 cases "are too few to evaluate fully the effectiveness of the antihista mines, tne doctors said some oi the patients showed "striking improvement." The greatest improvement, they reported, was noted in patients with tuberculosis pneu monia and other acute exuda tive ( discharging lesions "which in our opinion are the result of hypersensitivity." The doctors said the TB ba cilli apparently produce in the body an "allergic" reaction dur ing the secondary, or reinfec tion, stage of the disease. It is this inflammatory reaction which cause the lesions, they believe. The allergy drugs were used to try to prevent this reaction. Found Effective The report said three patients who showed the greatest im provement under treatment with the drugs suffered a relapse in their condition within two ueeks after they were taken oft the medication. Wrhen they got the drug treatment again, "striking improvement follow ed." The improvement "strongly points to the therapeutic effec tiveness of these drugs even though improvement lasted only through the administration," they said. The doctors suggested combining treatments of anti histamines and streptomycin, which suppresses growth of the TB bacillus.

United Nations May Create New Calendar United Press Staff Correspondent GENEVA (U.R) A shy, white haired New York spinster may induce the United Nations to consider adopting a new world calendar at its general assem bly in September. Miss Elizabeth Achelis, who is now touring Europe to gain fur ther public support, founded the World Calendar Association in 1930. Since then, as its president. she has spent nearly $1,000,000 of the fortune left her by her father in fighting for a scien tific, uniform" calendar which would remain unchanged year to year. Panama has placed her world calendar on the provisional agenda of the fourth general assembly. The calendar, according to Miss Achelis' headquarters here, establishes two extra holidays. One is "World's Day," or W Day, which would come on what is now Dec. 31. Panama has pro posed this be an international holiday devoted to "the univer sal harmony and unity of man kind." Four Dates Abolished Objections might conceivably come irom people wnose Dirtn days would fall on a non-existent 31st of March, May, Aug ust or December. Miss Achelis was a wealthy orphan devoted to playing chamber music and attending the opera when she heard a lec ture at Lake Placid in 1929 by Dr. Melvil Dewey, owner of the Lake Placid Club. When he de scribed the benefits of a sim plified calendar, Miss Achelis resolved to make calendar re form her life work. Unwilling to adopt the East man 13-month calendar, then in vogue, she looked for a sub stitute. In a Sunday newspaper she found an article describing a 12-month perpetual calendar thought up by an Italian priest in the early nineteenth century. After long research, and ten drafts and revisions. Miss Ach elis produced her world calen dar and founded her associa tion. She moved from a large Park Avenue apartment to a two-room hotel suite. Her association is a non-pro fit organization.

How It Works Under her calendar, the old Feb. 29 (the extra day in Leap Year), would become the new W June, Leap Year Day. Both that and W Day (Dec. 31) would be public holidays world - wide. Most of the changes in the proposed calendar involve reap portionment. The first months of every quarter January,April, July and October all begin on Sunday and contain 31 days, while the rest have 30, includ ing February. Thus each quarter is equal in length, containing exactly 13 weeks. Month dates always fall on the same days and each month has exactly 26 weekdays. Advantages, Miss Achelis be lieves, wrould follow in the fields of government, finance, indus try, labor and transport. The fiscal year always begins on the same day and date. With equal quarters of 91 days each, the quarter is actually one-fourth of a per annum rate in the 364 day year. - The new schedule would sim plify planning for industral programs and compiling statis tics, its supporters say.
