U each DRAPERY SAMPLES that are discontinued 50 & 75 A IPo.'itpoimiriri For a long time Potpourri has been wishing we had a whole week just to read. Maybe we could make at least a dent in the stacks of books and maga zines which have been steadily getting higher for several years past. So when the doctor said "two days rest in bed" we weren't really too upset. The first day we did read, between naps, and enjoyed every bit of it. But the second day wasn't half so much fun. For one thing, it w.as spring outside. It was warm, and we could hear the blackbirds trilling (even with one deaf ear) and the hum of the sprayer across the road and the clatter of the gasoline lawn mower next door. We wanted to be outside to see how the new lilacs were doing, and if any more daffodils were in bloom and maybe dig out some of the grass which has been taking over the flowerbeds while the March rains fell. Why couldn't it have rained the two days we had to spend inside! . By some happenstance, our reading seemed to fall into an accidental pattern. First we dip ped into an issue of The Satur day Review in which Norman Cousins said "The world is wide open for a new and big idea. Communism no longer fills that particular role for millions of Asians and Africans. Only a short time ago Communism seemed to many of these people to be a fast express to a better future. . . The result is that countless people have been left standing around and are waiting for a new vehicle to go. For if they have lost confidence in Communism, their belief in the destination is unchanged." Then we picked up our new ly unwrapped copy of "The World's Great Religions" pub lished by Life, and read the in troduction "How Mankind Wor ships" by the late Dr. Paul Hutchinson, distinguished Meth odist minister and for many years editor of "The Christian Century." After writing briefly of the history of man's religions, and man's need for religion, the writ er turned to Communism calling it "another great power over men's minds and acts indeed, a faith which is at once the de- GO Phone 3-4620 nial of all religion and the most potent expression of secular re ligion ever to challenge the oth er faiths." Dr. Hutchinson then continues: "When Communism, after it had captured Russia, proclaim ed its world mission, an English archbishop identified it as a 'Christian heresy.' It is more than that. Repudiating the ancient religions as, in Marxist phrase ology, 'the opium of the people,' Communism is a burning faith which is developing with amaz ing speed the structural outlines and apparatus of a church. It is a faith proclaiming the coming triumph of man over adversity and evil, and man's eventual en trance into earthly paradise. If, as a writer in the New Testa ment claims, faith is 'the sub stance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," then Communism, with its prom ise of a classless social order and an equal sharing by all mankind in all the benefits of life, surely is a faith. "As for the apparatus, what familiar ecclesiastical feature does Communism lack? It has its Revealers, Marx and Lenin. It has its infallible scriptures, its orthodoxy and its. heresy, its martyrs and its apostates, its hagiography and its holy office, its initiation rites and its con secrated burial grounds; it has its missionaries and its hierar chies. All it does not have today is its divinities. But give the pro cesses of human adulation an other century or two to work and the cynical gentlemen at the party controls as much time to manipulate them and who can say that Marx and Lenin and perhaps Mao Tse-tung may not find themselves, to their amaze ment, among the gods? The same has happened to other agnos tics." After quoting Arnold Toybee to the effect that religion is one of the essentials of human na ture, and that when people are starved for religion, they will "extract grains of religious con solation out of the most unprom ising ores" Dr. Hutchinson adds. "To the degree to which the secular faith of Communism pro claims the eventuality of human triumph in this world, and to the degree to which the theistic faiths thrust man's fulfillment beyond this world and beyond history, the challenge of Com munism will be felt through the whole world of religion." Dr. Hutchinson ends his fore word thusly: '."These are critic al days for religion. The enor mous changes being wrought by technology in every life on ev ery continent and at every lev el of social advancement, and the even more enormous changes which we can foresee with our dawning perception of the forces of the atomic age, make it im perative that man' be saved from that most demonic, and destruc tive of all idolatries self wor ship. Each great religion por trayed in this book attempts to save man from following the road of self-worship to the City of Destruction. All will accom plish that purpose to the extent that, in the words of the prop het Micah'they inspire man to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with (his) God." Mrs. Fred Strang has been watching Navy Cmdr. Edward Peary Stafford on TV's $64,000 Question with more than ordin ary interest, for the young man is the son of a schoolday chum The officer's mother, then Marie Peary and now Mrs. Edward Stafford, and Mrs. Strang were neighbors in Washington, D.C., about 50 years ago. Mi's. Staflord's father was the famous explorer, Admiral Rob ert E. Peary, credited with dis covery of the North Pole, and Marie Peary was the first white child born north of the Arctic Circle. After Mrs. Strang first saw Commander Stafford on the TV program, she wrote to him in New York and soon received a letter from her childhood friend. Mrs Stafford is now in New York to be in the audience when her son tries for the $64,- 000 question next Tuesday night. Mrs. John B.

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Many New Twists In Floor Coverings Chicago (U.R) Edward Fields, a leading rug and carpet manu facturer, says there will be many new twists in floor covering styles this year. Designs will be drawn from all periods, he said, and each will blend with room settings to fit any period. Beiges and golds will continue as leaders, as they did in' 1956. But, he said, there is a strong trend way from pre-established color styles and toward rule-of- thumb color selection. Housewives will continue, to turn to area rugs, although wall- to-wall ' carpeting still will, re main fairly popular. Unpolished wood floors will be more in vogue because of increasing sim plicity of maintenance, Fields predicted. Anne Mason, home decorator for one manufacturer (Lee) said that California has assumed an important role in setting nation wide trends, because of the growing fondness of Americans for outdoor, suburban living. People who live near the sea have a serene outlook, claimed Miss Mason. This envisionment is reflected in their use of col or. The softer, lighter tones, first used on the West Coast, have spread to the whole nation. In the east, however, tweeds are catching on, particularly among young homemakers with small children, Miss Mason said. Carpet texture will be a lead ing point of interest this year, said officials of a Philadelphia ' company. AMERICA SIE THI .
