Lent Described as Steps of Devotion Leading to Empty Cross By THE REV, PH. GEORGE M. DOCHERTY Pastor, New York Avenue Preibytirian Church Washington, D. C. Written for UPI On the Island of Iona whose white-sand shores are washed by blue billows of the Atlantic off the coast of Scotland, a visitor may discover among the red granite, rocky hills -on the hill called "Dun I" - a circle of unhewn stones half hidden in the grass. This is the foundation of what was known as the "Hermit's Cell." To this hallowed place in the Middle Ages pilgrims from all over Europe journeyed to re ceive the counsel and bless ing of the wise saint who lived here. If the visitor will look further, he will discern in the wildflower dappled grass, three flat stepping stones about two yards apart. Apparently the pilgrims al ways kneeled on these stones and said their private devo tions before coming into the presence of God's man. Lent may be described as the steps of devotion and preparation that lead to the empty cross of Easter Day. We prepare for the great oc casions in life, as for a wed ding or going on a long jour ney. So we ought to prepare for Easter. From earliest times the church has practiced "fast ing," which is the original meaning of "Lent." As Jesus fasted in the wilderness for 40 days, so his children are exhorted to do so. There has never been, however, any uni formity In the nature or length of the fast. In the Third Century, fasting was for 40 hours between the af ternoon of Good Friday and Stock Available in Jantzen, Inc.

Zone State Joint Work on Moon Flight Urged Washington - OJPD - Space Agency Director T. Keith Glennan says he would like for the United States and Rus sia to work together on manned flight to the moon and other space projects. Glennan, head of the Na tional Aeronautics and Space Administration, said Sunday night the United States had made no such proposals to Russia but added, "I would like to see this happen." He said he thought that "in the space business we have . . . perhaps a new mechanism for international cooperation which we ought to push just at hard as we can." Carpenter's Union Head Found Guilty Washington - (UPD - Maurice A. Hutcheson, 62, president of the Carpenter's Union, Mon day was found guilty of con tempt of Congress by a federal court for balking at questions about possible misuse of union funds. The chief of the 850,000 member union refused to an swer 18 questions asked him in June, 1858, by the Senate Rackets Committee. Federal Judge James W. Morris, who heard the case without a jury, found Hutche son guilty on all counts after a week-long trial. Washington-flJPD-The Amer ican Public Power Association has endorsed President Eisen hower's budget request as a "minimum program" for the development of the Pacific northwest. the morning of Easter. At other times it was two weeks. Even when fasting was ob served for seven weeks (the entire Lenten season), excep tions were made for Satur days and Sundays (except i Holy Saturday). Fasting has always been good for the soul even though fasting, in and by itself, need not necessarily be good. However we observe the Lenten season, there is en couraged upon all Christians to set this time apart as a holy season. Throughout the na tion, churches observe special services and choirs prepare appropriate Lenten music. As every man hurries along the sidewalks in pursuit of the ever fleeting deceptions of materialism, he too is bidden to. stop and think of love's deepest pain and greatest tri umph on the cross of Christ.

Margaret J. I want to be to be an actress. Mrs. L. J. I doesn't lead to any good. - . . Margaret J. I am a 16-year-old girl who wants very much to become an actress. I've been in a lot of school plays and everyone thinks I'm very good. My problem is that my mother is opposed to my am bition. The reason is that my aunt is an actress and mother doesn't approve of her. Per sonally I think my mother is a little jealous. My aunt is gorgeous and a marvelous per son. I absolutely adore her, but Mother doesn't even want me to see her as much as I do. My aunt has Invited me to spend the week with her in New York and she promises to take me to every play and introduce me to all her friends, but Mother doesn't want to let me go. ... Mrs. L. - J. I'll make no bones about the fact that I definitely don't want Mar garet to be an actress. In my opinion it leads to no good. My sister was lucky enough to enjoy a little success, but she is not a happy woman. She has been married twice and couldn't make a go of It because her career interfered. She is now close to 40 and is bitterly unhappy because she never had a child and a normal woman's life. I don't like the kind of life my sister leads or the kind of people she runs around with. I love her as a sister, but I don't want Margaret to grow up anything like her. Court Records MUNICIPAL COURT George William Evert tt.

How is it you know you're taking no chances when you let a youngster take your shopping list? Isn't it for the same reason that you buy 70 of your family's food without actually seeing it? You know that A good brand is your best guarantee ... and that the name on the label is your best buying guide. You have learned to count on good brand names. You know the company stands back of them. You know they protect you. The more good brands you get to know, the fewer buying mistakes you'll make. Get ac quainted with those brands in this newspaper.

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Yet Margaret keeps making an Idol out of her. I don't know how to convince her. ... The Council! Children and adolescents can't be talked out of hero worship. They need heroes and heroines as they grow up. Their parents are their first, but they must expand their horizons outside the limits of their immediate families in order to grow into individuals with an active re lationship to their own generation. Margaret may never be come an actress, yet we think she has much to gain by hav ing ambition and by knowing somebody who personifies some of her ambitions. Of course, Mrs. L. J. is right to point out that the aunt is not a happy woman, that her life may seem glamorous on the surface, but that heartache, loneliness and bitterness exist beneath the tinsel. We also think Mrs. L. J. Is prone to generalize her sis ter's experience. Although the theatrical world has its share of personal failures, these exist in other realms too. Many modest housewlfes fail to achieve real satisfaction in their marriages and some ac tresses do manage to create a fine family life. We are always in favor of tackling such problems from the positive rather than the negative point of view. If Mar garet is keenly Interested In acting she should learn as much as possible about It. She will soon find out about the drudgery and frustration in volved In working toward a goal. She will also learn how few individuals with her am bition actually make the grade. Eventually Margaret should arrive at a realistic appraisal of the situation. She may de cide by herself that It's not the life for her. If, on the other hand, she is willing to work and ready to face the possibility of defeat, she should not be squelched. She will discover, as we all do. that there Is also such a thing as compromise in life. Many happy homemakers do a little theater work on the side and some frustrated actresses wind up as excellent and fulfilled speech or dramatics teachers. However, we don't think Mrs. L. J. should let Margaret visit her aunt for an extended period if she feels she will be exposed to wrong Influences. She should be very firm on tnis point, but reasonable and sympathetic toward her am bitions. (Copyright I960, General Featurei Corp.)
