Thousands Attend Large Revivals In New England
Boston—(U.P.)—Evangelist Billy Graham is in Providence, R.I. spreading his warning of "God's judgment" after a monster Boston Garden rally at which he estimated some 2,000 persons hit the "saw-dust trail."
He was to address students at the Providence Bible institute and later leave for Toronto, Canada, for a three-day stand.
Nearly 16,000 persons jammed the Boston Garden and some 4,000 others were turned away by police as the Rev. Mr. Graham wound up an 18-day revival during which he claimed 3,500 conversions.
The 29-year-old evangelist said he would return to New England beginning Sunday, March 26.
Busses from some 43 communities in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Western Massachusetts brought thousands to hear the Rev. Mr. Graham warn that we "only have about 10 years left to live unless God sends an old-fashioned Heaven-sent Holy Ghost revival."
At the close of the five-hour service, he estimated some 2,000 persons, some of them weeping, how many slowly clawing, bridging they would attend church.
The services started with a concert by a Salvation Army band and a song in spursed with feature solos, songs from the musicals and hymns by the entire audience.
"The revival does not stop here," the Rev. Mr. Graham promised. "A great revival is ready to sweep over this New England area like a flame."
"Not in my generation has there been such a moving of God's spirit. This is not the doing of any preacher. It's not the doing of Billy Graham. It is the miracle that God Himself has done to bring to New England the chance for full salvation."
Many in the audience were i
tears as the Rev. Mr. Graham warned them they were going to hell unless they accepted God as their Savior immediately. The Rev. Mr. Graham also wept as he shouted to the throng.
New Process Makes Better Apple Pies
Geneva, N. Y. - (U.P.)—Food scientists at the state agriculture experiment station have developed a method of improving the texture of apples to insure firmer slices for pie making, especially such popular varieties as McIntosh.
The process consists of dipping the sliced apples in a solution containing a calcium salt for half to three-quarters of an hour, after which the slices are rinsed with water. They can be used immediately or may be canned or frozen for later use.
Calcium lactate was found to be especially well suited for the process. A solution containing two ounces of calcium lactate in a gal- water proved sufficient to treat at least half a bushel of sliced apples.
"It should be emphasized," station scientists said, "that calcium firming will work best with apples which are just slightly softer than they should be for pie making, and that it may not give entirely satisfactory results with over-ripe, mealy fruit."
The thermometer as we know it today is only 200 years old. The 'shot' in shot-putting originally was just that—a cannon ball.
Enacted by the labor government in 1948, it will remain on the statute books regardless of the outcome of the general election next month. Even doctors who prefer free enterprise in medicine have given up their fight to repeal it. And Winston Churchill's Conservatives, who know a popular law when they see it, say flatly in their election handbook:
(Editor's Note: One of the most controversial measures enacted by Britain's Labor government during the past five years was its national health plan of socialized medicine. The British Medical association fought it bitterly, but finally agreed to cooperate just before it went into effect July 5, 1948. The following dispatch tells the status of opposition to the plan as the British general election approaches.)
It can never be too often stated that the conservative party is wholeheartedly in favor of a national health service available to all."
The conservatives concede that a party which opposes free medical and hospital care for all would have little chance at the British polls, even though the public ultimately pays the huge bill through heavy taxes. The only questions remaining are how socialized medicine shall be administered, and how much private practice shall survive.
The British medical profession as a whole, under leadership of the British Medical association, abandoned organized opposition to the labor government's national health service in the summer of 1948. But a core of medical diehards remained. They acknowledged that they could not attend the work of the health service plan, but they began a campaign to correct its "abuses" under the banner of "the Fellowship for Freedom of Medicine."
London一(U.P.)—Socialized medicine has come to Britain to stay.
Heading the fellowship is 79-year-old Lord Horder, King George's physician. Under his leadership, the fellowship has drawn up 10 amendments for presentation to parliament.
"We are not against a health plan," Horder said, "but we are against this one in its present order. We appeal to the Oath minister." Aneurin Bevan's scheme will be rectified with the help of our amendments."
He said the amendments are designed to preserve private practice on a broad basis as an alternative to complete state control of medicine. "The most important amendment is that every Briton should be given the choice of either remaining in the national health system or leaving it without receiving a refund from the state, according to the cost of the service at that particular time," Horder said.
"If a Briton remains in the scheme but wishes to occupy a private bed in a hospital or nursing home, he should receive a government grant toward the cost, based on the statistical cost of a bed in a public ward. He should be allowed free drugs and certain agreed appliances."
Fellowship Wants Change To British Health Plan
Mendon, Mich.—(U.P.)—When her line broke as she tried to land a seven-pound pickerel, Mrs. Lester Kline jumped into the water, grabbed the fish by the head and threw it into her boat.
