Roy Summer TUBERCULIN TESTS MADE 1 IN COLORED SCHOOLS Blanche Sowell, colored nurse from the South Carolina Tuberculosis As sociation spent two months recently working, with the colored people of Newberry County under the direction of the Local Health Department. 23 schools wre visited in which health talks were made. Tuberculin tests were made in those schools where there were known contacts. Homes in which there were active cases or where cases had been, were visited and those contacts tuberculin tested. During this period five hundred fifty-nine (559) tuberculin tests were made in schools and homes—about 34 per cent of this number were postive reactors. At two clinics twenty-six (26) X-rays of chests were made with the following findings: four (4) cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, three (3) suspects, three (3) childhood type tuberculosis, and one bronchitis. Two patients were admitted to the South Carolina Sanitorium and ap plications filed for others. Lectures were made in the colored C C C camp and to groups of parents whose child ren reacted postively to the test and they were given health rules to have the children live by. The county Health Department feels that Nurse Sowell accomplished great deal of good while in Newberry county. This work was made passible by the Local Christmas Seal Sale. Tenor Is First of Guest Artists to Appear Here Ernest McChesney, tenor, will be heard at the first concert of the sea son, presented by the Co-operative Concert Association, Thursday even ing, January 13, at the Newberry high school auditorium. Tickets for the series of concerts may still be ob tained from Miss Rose Hamm. Following is a brief review of the life of tht American tenor: Ernest McChesney will remem ber that tour to his dying day. A cold winter and one-night stands and trains and trains and trains! Every morning at 6 a/ m. it happened. A stout vigorous hand would tug at the green curtains of his pullman sleeper and a warm hearty voice with the German accent it never lost would sing out: “Young tenor, time to get up!” Ernestine Schumann-Heink was a magnificent old trouper and Ernest McChesney’s opportunity to tour with her as assisting artist was a turning point in his Ife. From ths great sin ger this young American learned that : LET’S GO.. ALMOST 40,000 KILLED ON ROAD Washington, Jan. 5—The American Automobile association tonight ten tatively placed the nations 1937 death toll from motor vehicle accidents at 39,243, 5 per cent higher than in 1936. The AAA statement was based on complete reports from 38 states and the District of Columbia and estimates based on available figures from the remaining 12 states. The association said it would pub- Ish a revised list when the motor ve hicle and health departments of the incomplete states had made their final reports. ■mi]* m IMI PAYNE AND TURNER TO FACE TRIAL IN PATROLMAN’S DEATH ERNEST McCHESNEY Greensboro, N.

Penn, state highway patrolman, on August 22, last. Judge Jefferson J.

AGED SUTHERLAND TO QUIT Washington, Jan. 5—Associate Jus tice George Sutherland informed the President today that he would retire from the supreme court in 13 days, thus definitely shifting the balance of power on the high bench to the liberals, who had indorsed most New Deal reform legislation. High administration officials 4m mediately began a campaign to have the solicitor general, Stanley Reed, named as successor to the 76-year- old, British-born jurist. Reed is 53. Mrs. P. B. Ezell was taken to her home on Brown street from the New berry county hospital today (Thurs day). Her condition was reported fair. LOST—pink cameo brooch Christmas day somewhere in the city.

Apply, A. , Bowers, Jr. a voice is the hardest taskmaster In the world—and the day is never long enough for all there is to study and to do. Still in his twenties, Ernest McChes ney was born in West Orange, N. J., at American parents and ancestry. None of his family had been musi cians, but both his father and mother recognized his talent and encouraged him even as a small child. His ,career started as a remarkable boy soprano of a church choir at the age of seven. At the same time he began the study of piano and organ, training which later enabled him to win a scholarship at Carteret Academy as chapel pianist. He held this scholarship for five years until he was graduated. Over six feet tall, a na tural athlete, it was in the normal course of events that he distinguished himself on the baseball, football and track teams. The only astonishing thing about him was that he sang so well—and seemed to want to sing more than anything else on earth. In the beginning it was hard. He had to learn and he had to earn. For tunately, his good looks and engaging personality solved the problem. By day he ground away at scales and songs and repertoire; by night he did whatever opportunity offered. Some times it was operetta—“My Mary land,” “Princess Charming,” “New Moon” . . . One season is was the 'Ziegfeld Follies.” Another wintrr found him featured with Sophie Tucker on a bill at the Hollywood Country Club—“Ernest McChesney, Romantic Lyric Tenor!” Finally the opportunity came. The young artist was engaged to sing the leading role of the Vicomte de Jolli- don in Robert Esmond Jones’ famous production of “The Merry Widow” at Colorado’s Central City Opera House. The cast was headed by Gladvs Swarthout and Richard Bonelli. The Metropolitan Opera baritone watched his youthful colleague—liked not only him but his voice, urged him to concentrate on a serious career. Since then Ernest McChesney has con fined his activities exclusively to “good music.” Concerts and such ora torio appearances as his engagement this Christmas at Worchester for “The Messiah” occupy his immediate present—opera, he hopes, lies in the future. Whenever he gets discouraged he looks at the picture Ernestine Schu mann-Heink autographed to him with these words: “Young tenor, study hard like Mama Ernestine and you will make a career like her.” SENATE APPROVES SEED LOAN GRANT SHOPPING | New Year has come and gone, but it’s never to late to make resolu tions. So resolve bright now to go down to T. Roy Summer’s and look over the greatly reduced mer chandise of this outstanding men’s shop. All suits and coats are reduced 25 per cent and the best brands of shoes may be purchased at such rea sonable prices. You’ll certainly want to tell the man of the family about this sale and last, but not least, all merchandise other than suits and shoes, have been reduced 20 per cent. “Buy now for future needs.” The largest selling item of jewelry stores just now is the gold cross and chain. Why, it’s almost out of fashion to be without one! Turner’s Jewelry shop has just received a brand new shipment of crosses and you will want to look them over im mediately. Some of the more expen sive necklasses of crosses are made with dainty tiny chipped diamonds. Dainty baby crosses are also on dis play. If you didn’t get a cross for Christmas, by all means visit Turner’s and select one for youself or some member of the family while the stock is full. The newest addition to our fast growing city is the Pure Oil station at the well-known intersection of the Columbia, Greenville, and Whitmire highways. My shopping tour took me out to look over the station and it is a beautiful building with the clean est of kitchens and rest rooms. The upstairs which is evei; so much larger than it looks from the outside was made for an apartment, but J. B. West, the manager, informs me that he plans to turn it into rooms for private parties or dances. A wide space is being cleared about the sta tion for ears to park and in a few months bright tulips will appear on every side. For a short joy ride go out to West’s service station for a sandwich and drink as well as to supply your auto with some Pure Oil products. Up the hill to see what the pro- gresive Smith Motor company is doing since the holidays and to find Bill Smith getting his used cars in a row for a big used car sale. Should you be in line for anything like an auto, I suggest you look over the wide range of cars here before making the final choice. And buying autos or anything else from such congeniel fellows as Mr. Smith and his sales men is a real pleasure. To see what was playing the first of next week at the theatres, I was de lighted to find Samuel Goldwyn’s great production, “Dead End”, sche- uled for Monday and Tuesday at the Opera House. Twenty-four hours of throbbing life in a city street, paved with riches and poverty, comedy and tradegy, romance, and heartaches, thunders across the screen in the pic ture starring Sylvia Sidney an) Joel McCrea and a great cast who portray this powerful human story. It’s just the kind of picture that you like to see "for a change.” TAX LEAGUE MEETS WEDNES DAY JOLLY STREET The State meeting of the Farmers and Taxpayers League will be held next Wednesday at the Colhmbia Hotel in Columbia, according to an an nouncement by J.
