Prepare For
The H-Bomb
f t The Civil Defense Administration
hfts 'released a million copies of a
new booklet, giving Americans gen
eral instructions for adequate prep
aration against an H-bomb explos
ion. ; The new booklet, which the head
of'evrry family should acquire un
less he has something simitar to it,
jurtlines the "four '. circular, belts
around the 'detonation center of an
H-bomb explosion and tells what
should ho Oone if you happen to bo
id any of these' belts when' an ex
plosion occurs. t
The- Hones are- called rings, and
if you are unfortunate enough to be
in -the -A-ring, a central area
around the bulls-eye of the explos
ion, you will have very little chance
of survival.' However, if you are
in the B, C, or D rings, your chanc
esof survival, will depend upon the
. protective steps you have taken.
-v . The B-ring is three times as
large -as the A-ring, and injury is
likely to be severe unless complete
protectiee' measures have been tak
n. The D-ring is an area larger,
than any of the other rings, in
which m primary Hunger wuuiii ne
from a radioactive fall-out.
.' These are the steps you should
take now, if you are to be prepared
in case of a sudden, emergency. 1..
Learn official Civil Defense action
signals. 2. Prepare your home by
getting a Civil Defense disaster
first-aid kit, and prepare yourself
to combat home fires ;if you are
near a likey target $Iauitain a
three-day emergency supply of food
and water in your home at all
times. In addition; you should pre-
pare some sort of air-raid shelter,
and learn how to practice emer
gency sanitation procedures which
might be necessary. , ; ;
3. If possible, join your local Civ
il Defense organization, and also
.be prepared to move promptly from
your home if this becomes neces
sary. 4. Memorize the frequencies
640 and 1240 on your standard
,A.M. radio. This is where official
come from in an 'emergency.
April Fools'-Day
t-
There is no general agreement on
the i origin of April Fools' Day, al
though it is a day which is observ
ed in most -areas of the world, and
not just in this country and West
ern Europe. "
In India, the day is called the
Feast of ;Hulj,' -hich;,' occurs on
March 31st. -' On tha Hay, people
are sent on foolish'errands.lThe
day was observed jn France short
ly after the adoption of a new cal
endar in 1564, which made the year
begin j on January, 1st. Previous
ly, people had given New Year's
Kifts and made visits on April 1st
under the old calendar
In England the custom of observ
ing April Fools' Day did not origi
nate until the Eighteenth Century
and tariy settlers in the colonies
brought the custom with them.
. It is customary in various coun
tries of the Western world to at
tempt to catch friends with foolish
pranks or jokes on April 1st. Any
one fooled by such pranks in
France is called a Poisson d' Avril.
In French that means an April
fish. There are some who believe
that this is based on the fact that
fish are caught easily in April,
when the sun is leaving the zodia
cal sign of Pisces.
In Scotland, those caught by
April Fool pranks are called April
gowks. The gowk is a cuckoo. In
the United States, there is no par
ticular term for anyone fooled on
April 1st, but the custom has, in
the past, become so annoying that
telephones would be disconnected
on April Fools' Day.
Fortunately, April Fools' Day in
the United States has developed in
to a more sane observation in re
cent years than it was formerly.
As is the case with Halloween, the
country's intellect seems to be
showing definite improvement in
its form of observance of this day,
to the notion that the -younger gen.
eratioB is 'the worst yet, rapidly
'going to the dogs, and so on into,

' THE CROSS AND
CHRISTIAN ISCIPLESHIP
International Sumbjr 8ooI
Lesson for AprH 8, 1955.
Memory Selection : ; "'But. God
forbid that I should glory, ,a-ve in
the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom the world is crucified tin
to me, and I unto the wirld."
Galatians'6:14.
Lesson Text: John 12:20-16;
II Corinthians 5:14-19.

The lessons for this and next
week will bring to a climaxing con
clusion our series of studies on
Christian teachings. It has been a
wonderfully inspiring and informa
tive series and will be brought to
a fitting elimax with the -lesson
for next week.
In order to fully understand the
scriptural background for this les
son, we must trace the activities
of Jesus just prior to it. After
raising Lazarus from the dead, Je
sus left Jerusalem and went-north-ward
to the borderline between Ju
dea and Samaria, and thence over
the Jordan into Perea. There he
stayed a shoit time. .Intending. to
attend the Passover Feast in Jeru
salem, he again crossed the Jordan
and returned to Bethany, to j the
home of Mary, Martha and 'Laza
rus, a few miles out of Jerusalem.
It was during this visit that Mary
anointed the feet of Jesus with the
very costly ointment. "
While many were wondering if
Jesus would attend the Passover
Feast in Jerusalem, being aware
of the intense hatred of the Phari
sees, Jesus rode into the city on a
donkey, receiving the tumultous ac
claim of the multitude. This was
in fulfillment of prophecy mid wasS
the beginning of the end for Jesus.
He was fully aware of this fact.
Among the multitude in the City i
of Jerusalem at that time were cer
tain Gveeks, who not satisfied with
their own religion, had accepted the
Hebrew faith, flearing of Jesus
and1" his wonderful works, they
wanted to see him for themselves.
Whether they had the desired in?
tcrview with him or not is not
known, but what Jesus, says In
John 12:23 seems to be a reply to
them.
Dr. Erdman interprets his words
thus: "You would see me, then
.you have arrived at exactly the
right time, for the hour has come
for the Son of Man to be glorified."
Not glorified in the sense we usual
ly think of pomp, fame, splendor
but honored byGod. It was not
through the working of miracles
nor through his wonderful teaching
that he was to be so honored, but
through his death and resurrection
through which he was revealed
to the world and by the cross was
-Via wnrlrt rlrnwn tn him. .
Jesus goes on, comparing himself
to a grain of wheat which, in order
to prove of 'greatest blessing, must
lie planted, lose its corporate iden
tity as a grain, -in order to sen,d
forth new life and bear fruit. The
self-8ar?rifice of the grain was to
him a parable of his own death and
resurrection. "And the self-same
law of , sacrifice which reigns pn
the throne of heaven governs the
dullest andMarkest soul on earth.
To be self-centered means, spirit
ually, to abide alone and, there
fore, to perish."
Then Jesus uttered his great law
of life through -death: "He that
loveth his life shall lose it; tnid
he that hateth his life In this world
shall keep it. unto .life eternal."
George Reith says: "Self-lore
leads to destruction and death . . .
The present and temporal must be
sacrificed for the 'future and eter
nal a truth peculiarly in place for
Greeks whose essential conception
of life In its fulness, beauty, vigor
was assertion of self."
. Jesus also reminded his hearers
that he who would serve-him, must
foe witling to follow him. Where T
Anywhere, evert to death.- What is
the reward offered for such ser
vice, . Jesus says that he would
thus serve hhrf shall be '"wheTe
njn and him will -my Father honor.''
. What (noreuM we ask or desire t
tn the portion f the letter of
.Paul to the Christians at Corinth
which we are .giveh fo study, we
find these wor4s: "therefore, if
any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature; behold; old things are
.passed. .away; .all things have Jbe-
come new."; In these few words is
concentrate., the greatest thing
that can happen to you tit this life.
