WEIGHTED DOWN Jodin Peterson says Will Waters has to tie a sledge hammer to that three-pint cow of his to keep the wind from blowing her away. And from other sources we hear that Will is thinking of breeding her to a giraffe and raising enf'. he can stand up and milk. 17 AND NOT 7 Cecil Kinard in to correct us on his church record says he has miss ed only once in 17 years and not 7. Two services each Sunday sums up 1838 services in a stretch. He is out to make it 25 years and here’s hoping he makes it. At the end of 25 years he ought to be qualified to write a book “Why Attend Church?” and give some pretty good reasons. GOT HIS “NIGGER”—GLAD OF IT The following is from an old New- berrian, John T. Suber of Jackson, Miss: “Just read your comment on the Chamber of Commerce and the Civic League and congratulate you on your efforts to make Newberry a better place for decent people to live. “Also read in a recent issue where the Sheriff’s office raided a still on my place on Broad river and arrest ed my “nigger” and I hope they keep nim in jail ’till he rots and when I get back there in June this year there is going to be a vacant Negro shack there. “Again thanking you for your good efforts in behalf of civilization, I remain."

TIRED OF IT ALL The following written by a North ern gentleman appeared in the Charleston News and Courier and while we do not agree with all he says, several of the verses strike us as being very good. We can get along very nicely without further first-paging of Sistie, Buzz, and Elea nor. Anyway here it is and we be lieve that there is at least on e verse which will suit everyone except the most ardent New Dealer: “I’m tired of taxes on ham and eggs, Tired of ‘payoffs’ to political yeggs. Tired of Jim Farley’s stamps on my mail and Tired of my shirt with its tax short ened tail. “I’m tired of farmers goosestepping the laws, Of millions of jab-holders with itch ing paws, Of ‘fireside’ talks on commandeered mikes, Of passing laws to stimulate strikes. “I’m tired of hourly-increasing debt, I’m tired af promises still to be kept, Of eating and sleeping by govern ment plan, Of calmly forgetting the ‘Forgotten Man’. “I’m tired of every new Brain Trust , thought, Of the Ship of State,—now a plea sure yacht: I’m tired of cheating the courts by stealth, And TERRIBLY tired of sharing MY wealth. “Pm tired of Eleanor on page one, Of each royal in-law and favorite son; I’m tired of Sistie and Buzzie Dahl. I’m simply and completely fed up with it all. “I’m tired and bored with the whole New Deal, With its juggler’s smile and its barker’s spiel, Dear Lord, out of all Thy available men Please grant us a Cleveland or Coolidge again.

SHERIFF’S' OFFICE GET MEN On Wednesday morning, April 20, Sheriff Fellers was notified that two suspicious white men were seen around Little Mountain. He and his Deputies, with Patrolman Martin, and Policeman Merchant of Prosperity immediately went to Little Mountian. The men were located in a patch of woods preparing a . meal. Upon sight of the officers, they ran into a swamp. The officers, with the aid of some of the citizens of Little Mount ain, were able in the afternoon to ap prehend and capture the men.

He also made reference to a recent occasion when two New- ber y citizens had to purchase a lot within 24 hours, paying more for it than either could afford, to keep a service station from being construct ed in a residential section of the city. Mr. Purcell stated that people of the city wanted some protection against the possibility of serice stations and other such business buildings, going up in the residential areas. Mrs. J. H. Summer speaking for the Civic League of which she is presi dent, remarked that some step had to be taken immediately in behalf of home owners. Dr. Charles L.

Dr. Trabert pointed out that under this plan citi zens would request their respective district of the town to be zoned for residences only. Dick Floyd, council member, stated that the council had not been asleep on this proposition of zoning, but that no ordinance had been passed be fore because of considerable trouble in securing an ordinance for New berry that would stand. Mr. Wright, taking the floor next, said that some kind of ordinance can be passed ip Neqfberry and must be 'yjl^6^,' Upon request of Mr. Purcell that no more building permits be issued until an ordinance is passed, Mayor Earhardt promised to see H.

PHILIPS NOTES The National Youth Administra tion has placed in Newberry a power shop located at the old knitting mill on Caldwell street, which will be of great value to all boys work ing on NYA in Newberry county and to other groups who will have the privilege of taking instructions in this shop Dr. Roger L. Coe, state adminis trator of NYA, has placed electric tools valued at $1,000 in this shop. More tools will be added as the work progresses. The boys at work on this shop project are taken from families of low income throughout the county. WPA certifies these boys for NYA work. More needy boys can be used in this shop pro vided they are certified by WPA. The current was turned on last Monday and the machines are now going at full speed. This group will make any equipment which is need ed for public use, such as school desks, chairs, benches, tables,' filing cabinets, and park seats. The only requirement is that the public or ganization furnish material for the equipment to be built. The county board of education which is sponsoring this work shop will furnish materials to be used in making school equipment which will be purchased by school districts at the cost of materials. The New berry county delegation is paying rent on the building and water and lights are being furnished by an in terested committee. The shop has a fine location in the hall of tne old knitting mill. H. O. Long, owner of the building, contributes part of the rent, and the Newberry City Council furnished money for wiring the shop. The work shop is open each week day from 8:30 to 4:30 o’clock. Adult visitors will be welcomed, but chil dren are not allowed because of dan gerous machinery. The two fore men, J. W. Counts, Prosperity, and Gerald Shealy, Little Mountain, have had much experience in shop work. These foremen will teach night classes. The DOWN MEMORY LANE grant tdols. CITY LEAGUE WILL MEET AT LUTHERAN CHURCH The City League, composed of young people’s religious organiza tions in Newberry, will hold its quarterly meeting Teusday evening, April 26, at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer.

Divine services will be held at 11 o’clock conducted by the pastor, the Rev. Emmet Roof. Following the services, the Lord’s supper will be observed. This will be the first time w e have had the pleasure of having a service in the morning since the fourth Sunday in November. Well, I guess everybody had a grand time on Eaater day. If they didn’t, it was not the weather’s fault as it was a beautiful day. a. The oul. _ individuals or classes pay the fora men for their time. The Newberry shop is the last of the 10 to be placed in South Caro lina. Because of the splendid prog ress of the NYA in this county under the local supervisor, Mrs. J. H. Summer, Newberry was chosen to have a shop. “The Nathional Youth Admi 1- stration feas for its main abject the training of underprivileged young men and young women,” says Mrs. Summer, "so that they may be equipped to obtain private employ ment.” One needs only to visit the Newberry County power shop to realize the importance of training the hands odle boys so that they may take their place in "building for tomorrow.” Chappells has gone beyond her ap portionment in the sale of the third Liberty Loan bonds and says she is going to double the amount. She has already earned the first honor flag for this county and the flag has been ordered. If she doubles the amount she will be entitled to a star in the white section of the flag. If other communities will do the same then the county will be entitled to a county honor flag. The news that Dr. J. Henry Harms has resigned the presidency of New berry College and will leave the state to accept the pastorate of a large and influential church in Philadelphia will be learned here with genuine re gret. Dr. Harms is a very able man and a most pleasing speaker. Some time ago the Greenwood Index ex pressed the opinion that the three most pleasing public speakers in the state were the presidents of Wofford, Furman, and Newberry. The last two are to leave the state. The fact is greatly regretted. Washington, April 18.—'Proposed increase of the government guaran teed price of wheat to $2.50 was de feated tonight in the house, which rejected by a vote of 167 to 98 the senate amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill making the change. This action sends the question back to conference and the senate is ex pected to recede so as not to hold up the appropriation bill Representa tive Lever, chairman of the agri culture committee, led the fight against adoption of the amendment, declaring the proposed guarantee is inadequate. The vote was preceded by four hours of general debate. Newberry College sustains two very great losses in the resignation of President Harms and Dr. V< ‘ Both are alumni of the have done a good work fi •In retaining Prof. O. B. Cannon as the head of the city schools the board of trustees have done well for the school. He has gone about his work in that quiet and unostentatious manner which meaita work that is real. His work during the past year has been of a very satisfactory na ture and the schools have run smooth ly under his management. Many of the farmers report very bad stands of corn . Some of the farmers are planting cotton Iwhile others are through as they did not have much to plant. We do not know what the results will be, but hope that everything will turn out all right!
