Quarter Sales

Wilmington, Del., Feb. 4 Sales
for Burlington Industries, Inc., in
the current quarter are running
approximately 8 per cent ahead of
the comparable period last year,
it was reported here today to
stockholders attending the annual
meeting of the diversified textile
company.
Charles F. Myers, Jr., president,
said business continues at a very
satisfactory level, with order i ter.
backlogs ahead of those a year
ago.
Expressing optimism as to the
future of the textile business and
the upward trend of the general
economy through the first half of
1965, Mr. Myers said that Bur
lington expects sales and earn
ings for its own first half, end
ing April 3, to be "substantially
ahead" of the similar period last
year. He addeld that results for
the 13-week quarter ended Janu
ary 2 exceeded sales and earnings
for the 14-week preceding quar-
The textile executive, head of
an organization which operates in
17 states and eight foreign coun
tries, indicated his belief that re
tail sales will continue strong ev
en through the second half of this
year, and that results of Burling
ton's full fiscal year will show
a good gain over 1964.
Mr. Myers noted that Burling
ton's record fiscal 1964 sales vol

ings of $50.9 million were consid
erably better than the average for

Her doting parents would not

dangers of the city are wanting"
and where girls were given "ever
watchful care and close personal

Encouraged by this cheerful

The beauty of it, of course, goes deeper
than the things you don't get. There's
the other side of the coin what you do
get in their place.
Take the no window post, for example.
What you do get is hardtop styling

The transmission and driveline hump
you don't get means more foot room.

Matthew 14
through IB
Today we endeavor to present
our Lesson as a amide for those
among us who are confronted with
the problem: How should be act
ss Christians when .tradition con
flicts with truth T
Almost from the begining of
Jesus' active ministry, he had met
head on with opposition from the
Pharisees and scribes whose sense
of religion was deeply rooted in
formality of worship and old tra
ditions. To their way of think
ing, Jesus was somewhat of an
upstart, who flouted all that they
held dear. Therefore thev never
lost an opportunity to criticize and :
raise their voices against Him.
Heretofore Jesus had countered
their criticism with shrew answers
or challenging statements; howev
er, in Matthew 14 and 15, we see
an open break between Jesus and
the Pharisees. Herein we see Je
sus meeting criticism With criti
cism, and doing so in much strong-
terms than he had used be
fore, calling them "hypocrites,"
and referring to them as 'blind
guides."
This sharp division of opinion,
as recorded in our lesson for to
day, came about over the some
what crucial issue of what God
requires of man. And while it is
true that both Jesus and the
Pharisees accepted the basic con
cepts of the Commandments, each
had an entirely different interpre
tation when it came to the tra
ditions followed by the elders of
the church.
Jesus had long contended that
the religious leaders of the times
were so wrapped up in the trap
pings and traditions of worship,
they had lost sight of the true
meaning of that worship. They,
f in turn, considered him over-lib
v eral in his conception of religious
worship, and read into this liber
ality a great deal of disrespect.
Jesus, however, was not being
disrespectful of religious law. In
deed, he upheld it staunchly when
it served the purpose for which
it was intended. But whereas the
elders put upon it a literal inter
pretation, Jesus went behind that
concept, straight to the reason for
the law. Thus, while the law
against murder was intended to
restrain man from committing
murder. Jesus pointed out that
the murderous spirit was sinful;
where the Pharisees protested
that the Disciples flouted the law
by not washing their hands before
they ate, Jesus pointed out that it
was not what a man put in his
mouth that defiled him; it was
what came out of it that did the
damage. Food is assimilated by
the natural processes of the body,
end is passed out of the body by
those natural processes; but that
which is expressed by the month
comes out 'of the heart, and if it
is false witness, slander, evil
thoughts and actions that was
defilement of man.
Essentially, Jesus was disturbed
because he saw people avoiding
their Christian obligations (the
spirit of the law) because they
were too intently observing a lit
eral interpretation of it. God's
purpose, therefore, was being nullified.
Traditions surround us in our
everyday life, and we, too, after
long acceptance, may be paying
mere lip service in accepting them
unquestioningly than we are ac
tually paying attention to the
meaning behind them. It might
come somewhat of a shock if we
but stopped for a minute to con
template just how easy it is to
pledge allegiance to the flag, in
comparison with how much more
is involved in being a good citi
zen. Indeed, it might well behoove
us to stop and think just exact
ly what is involved in being true
