/ I \ THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. A GLANCE AT CIVILIZATION REVEALS... Jackpot Question: What's the World Coming To? ...CONFUSION, FEAR, HYSTERIA, DESPAIR By H. I. PHILLIPS WOMAN'S WORLD A GLANCE AT THE GLOBE The world is in queer shape. Everywhere civilization is wishing it could find a cure for its savagery. Confusion and fear are running neck and neck with hysteria and despair. Half the world is looking for trouble and the other half acts as if afraid there won’t be enough to go around. ♦ People have always been called different from animals in that they were rational beings. But the ani mals appear to be outsmarting us. For centuries man seemed to be “tfme See a Mm” C OME set a man," the Nazareth lads would say. And peering through an old shop's open door. Would watch One swing an adz, see muscles play Like ripphng Steel, and mark along the floor Huge timbers that a driven saw and plane Had smoothed and pohshed to its bright clear grain. “Come see a man,” the word ran like a fire Down every Street and every crooked lane. And throngs besought Him, wild with their desire To rid themselves of agonizing pain. “Come see a man whose power is Strange, and such, His hands alone can heal men with its touch." Samaria, and noon above the land— A flushed-cheeked woman, hurrying to tell. With Strange excited voice and lifted hand. Of One who waited by an andent well. "Come see a man who told me everything.... * Surely this is our long awaired King! "Come see a man," the cry Still rings today, "Who knows no fear at all, so brave is He." So Strong and clean. He went His quiet way To climb at last the hill called Calvary, I There to be lifted that a whole world might Be drawn to Him: its Saviour jad its Light-*.

Clever Accessories Highlight : eatures in Your Ensembles By Eitta Haley I F YOU’RE the kind of a woman who doesn’t know what it’s like to wear a dress because you go from one season to the next In a suit, fashion is all on your side. Your suit may be elegant and perfectly tailored. It may need little in the way of dressing up for many occasions. However, if you do wear a suit for almost every thing, there are many fashion-wise touches which can help dress it up or down to be most suitable for the occasion. Some women like to leave their suits strictly alone, and use ac cessories elsewhere. Do it with a frothy veiled hat or one bedecked with flowers. Both of these types are flattering for making the tai lored suit acceptable for the dres sier occasions. Another way te do it is with a blouse. For most times you can wear the trim and tailored blouses, but for other occasions, choose ny lon, sheer; net or organdie with a fresh froth of lace or ruffles. Try another color, too, in the blouse, and see if you arentt really refreshed Fiction SOMETHING OF VALUE Corner By ANNA t WILSON T HE PORCH was broad and sunny, and Elsie placed the big chair where Dad could see the people passing and look across into Barnes grocery store. “You see, Dad,” she said cheer fully, “you’ll be happy here in the sunlight, and you can watch what goes on over there in the store — it’ll be no time at all until you for get about the shop — Goodness knows, a man who’s worked until he’s sixty-five years old has earned a rest.” Dad sank back In the chair and sighed wistfully. “I know, Elsie, and the company was real nice. Mr. 3 -Minute TwUinger p r e- Fietian sent ed me with a Nciion watch and said they were real sorry about my eyes, and hated to let me go. Watch making is such fine work and," Dad finished care fully, “there was no other place open in the shop where they could work me in. Mr. Twilinger ex plained about it all before I came away.” “Yes," Dad tried to settle him self uneasily, "but sitting here isn’t going to help pay for this house, and I did hope to see you settled in a home of your own before I died.” He was glad when Mrs. Frisby stopped to talk. She was gossipy and friendly and liked a chat. “Glad to see you taking a rest at last. Dad. Goodness knows, it was time. I see you’ve been looking at the sketch for the new Memorial. Isn’t it wonderful that a great artist like Mr. Bonelli’s been engaged for the job. They say he’s been asking for medals to copy on the figures of the war veterans and I’m hurry ing right down with this one of ^Willie’s. Dad stared at the sketch of the Memorial, thinking of what Mrs. Frisby had said. Something of value. Dad went over all his meager possessions and they weren’t much. Just his clothes, fieat and clean, the watch Mr. Twilinger had given him and that old coin. Dad was confused by the noise and bustle when he entered Mr. Bonelli’s studio, but Mr. Bonelli smiled at Dad and took him into a little office in the rear. ‘It’s about a coin,” said he hum bly, and took out his lucky piece. “Where did you get it, and why do you want to sell it. Dad.” It was easy to talk to Mr. Bonelli, and Dad explained about his home and Elsie. T HE ARTIST sighed — “It might have been valuable once, but it's too defaced now for restoration —I’m sorry,” he looked as if he really was.” I wish I could tell you that it’s worth something but I’m afraid it’s not.’ Dad thanked him, but as he got up to go, Mr. Bonelli spoke. “I have a friend coming toinor- row and if you drop in you can talk it over with him.’ All afternoon Dad polished the coin and when he went down to the studio in the morning the metal in the coin shone. Mr. Bonelli was talking to an other man, when he saw Dad he beckoned him in. Dad took out the coin and the stranger glanced at it, but he was really looking at Dad. Dad in his neat worn clothes, was worth looking at. He had lived a good life and all this good living' showed in his wrinkled face and clean blue eyes. Mr. Bonelli’s own eyes twinkled. “We find yon have something of value. Dad, after all,” he said softly. "The coin was worthless,” he continuSd. “We want to use you as a model for one of the figures on our Memorial. We want to employ you in the studio to keep track of valuables loaned to us. Mr. Twilin ger says we couldn’t get a better man. The pay is good, well over five hundred dollars for the year’s work," he said gently. “You see. Dad, the thing you have of value is yourself. You’ve been a good citizen and it shines—right in your face."

Most of these are made up of two or three pins, sometimes all of the same size, and other times a variation in size. Use whatever looks best. There are some very clever single pins available now for those of you who like the novel and un usual. Some of them are pure de sign while others dill back into his tory, like the gay nineties pins.

The suits, as well as the white print-on-dark-back- grocttid dresses, are just made for this type of jewelry. Several strands of beads are still being worn with many of the suits. Some of these are neck-hug ging while others are long enough to be tied in a large loop a few Inches below the neck. Neckline decorations as well as earrings are increasingly impor tant while the hair remains short. Gloves are Tonic To Suits, Dresses This season the American manu facturers of gloves have created an abundance of white and natural Series K—48 There never has been a sea son, It seems, when gabardines were so popular. The reason is the great beauty of the fabric and the way It takes so exqui sitely to tailoring. Illustrated are examples of the increasing ly popular trend toward asym metrical lines which involve consummate artistry in design as well as skill in execution. For this type of suit, skirts are always slender, long and ■lashed. The total effect is a youthful silhouette coupled with extraordinary smartness. /ou Build It This two-piece suit with the look of a coat dress comes from the spring collection of a New York designer. It boasts a snug, waist-length jacket, but toned down the front in line with the fastening of the skirt, and moulds the shoulders in a beautiful, rounded line. A wine taffeta scarf contrasts with the grey worsted, making the suit. colored gloves for all occasions. No wardrobe has too many pairs of white gloves, which incidentally are of first fashion importance this season. Since American-made leather gloves are washable, they’re practical as well as pretty acces sories. For casual wear, there are white and natural colored chamois. White pigskin has taken on a new look of slim styling that makes it ideal with the new suits. Because of their special inseam construction, they may also be used for dress wear. Scatter pins are seen, not only on the suits which I mentioned, but also on white doeskin or glace gloves to dress them up. Buttons and bows are keynotes in styling, too, as are the appearance of em broidery, tassels and openwork on the gloves. For cool comfort during spring and summer, shorties are the fa vored length, with really long gloves still holding their own for wear on very formal evenings. The flowers that bloom have nothing on gloves when it comes to color. Glove shades range from delicate pastels to rich, vibrant tones. Among the most popular are Bristol blue, clove pink, fawn, sun bronze, carib green, rose lus tre, cherry pink and South Sea violet. Colors can be worn with a dark costume or may harmonize with the apparel shades. They don’t have to match. Navy Favored For Shoes Beautiful navy calf has been one of the important color and ma terial combinations in the shoe pic ture so far. However, if you pre fer brown or black calf, many of these are shown. As you know, suede is no longer just for winter. There are suedes for spring and summer, too, and many women like these for their softness. Shoes still show very high heels and platforms, especially for the small girls. Buttons are still high lighted, straps and ornate cuttings on the novelty shoes are seen ex tensively. Polka dotted shoes with bags to match are seen as something very new for the shoe fashion picture this summer. These are meant to compliment the dark solid colored dresses and suits. Parses are Neat, Compact, bat Roomy One of the nicest bags seen re cently is a three-in-one purse. The basic bag is black faille, or other colors from which you may choose. Over this fits a cover made of vinylite plastic, simply by snapping to the top of the bag. One side is white, while the other is black pat ent. Any of the sides is perfect for summer, and you can actually change your bag in a few seconds if you tire of one side or another. Most of the bags seen are very nfeat and compact. Even if the bag is larger than the usual pouch type It still carries with it an air of neatness. For casual wear you may want one of the basket bags which are roomy and sturdy. The lower part of the bag is made of woven straw, while the top, including the handle that goes over the wrist is made of faille or an other durable materiaL Bag prices are lower now than they have been for several seasons, and styling and fabrics are all that could be desired.

One trick was to mis spell words. Recently a local subscriber burst into the publisher’s office and scornfully exclaimed: “You’ve done it, Sam.

According to one popular leg end, once upon a time an ancient emperor ct China, fearing an up rising or possible attempt on his life, passed a law forbidding any one to use or possess utensils or instruments made of metal. Even in that legendary era, the Chinese disliked eating with their fingers —so some ingenious fellow in vented chopsticks and, just as defi nite rules of etiquette govern the correct use of our table cutlery, definite mannerisms denote polite use of chopsticks.
