PHILIPS SCRIBE MOVED BY SPRINGTIME On March 21st Spring began, which was the beginning of the ver nal equinox. It brought some migh ty pretty weather which we hope will continue. The birds begin to sing and the trees are putting forth their beautiful foliage. Springtime is the most beautiful season of the year. You can look through the woods and see the pretty green leaves and see the beautiful flowers blooming in all their differ ent colors. And here is something different I want to call to your attention as against the Spring of 1914. On March 20th it snowed about six inch es deep. It lay on the ground until the 22nd and then it began to melt. The peach trees were full of blooms. It was very beautiful to see the trees filled with pink blossoms a- gainst the ground white with snow. This occured 24 year s ago. We are proud to say it isn’t that way this year and hasn’t been since 1914. SMYRNA CLUB HAS INTEREST MEETING The Home Demonstration club of Smyrna met Friday afternoon with Mrs. V. C.

VIEWS OF OTHERS Editor The Sun: I wish to personally express my appreciation for the fine editorial on Newberry’s fire alarm status. You brought Out some strong points over which the citizens of Newberry may well give serious thought. Being one of those that circulated petitions asking for the bond elec tion, I ran across several property owners that refused to sign until told the proposed location of their nearest alarm box. They were in favor of the boxes and wanted a box near them. Other canvassers told of having had the same experiences and that it was the fire alarm box that secured the signatures. These peo ple are not to be' denied. When the bond election was car ried by such an overwhelming ma jority I thought the alarm system wa s assured. The entire motive be hind the election was “Fire Protec tion”; a new fire truck and a mo dern efficient fire alarm system. I don’t believe our citizens are go ing to sit quietly and lose the greatest asset to a modem fire de partment, and something that New berry needs most. I believe they are going to demand the protection they voted for. Too many times here in Newberry we have already exper ienced the immediate need of a reli able! alarm system as set forth in my article two weeks ago. It is to be re gretted the way things have come to pass but with the proper cooperation of the city council & a little pull, it may not be too late to secure gov ernment aid again and fulfill the ob ligation to our citizens. Again I want to thank you for your editorial. Keep up the good work—we’ll get results yet. Yours truly, Burton Wells Editor The Sun: I read with genuine interest the article on the Fire Alarm for New berry by Mr. Wells in a recent issue of your paper and also the editorial you wrote in reply. Both you and Mr. Wells brought out points that the citizens of Newberry cannot af ford to overlook. You publish M an article by me in February 1936 and I haven’t changed my point of view in the least. The citizens have a right to feel proud of such a fine fire sta tion but that is not what we voted for or what we wanted when we vot ed for the bond issue. We voted for fire protectibn and that specifically stated a new truck and a modem fire alarm system. I for one will not vote for another bond issue in Newberry and. will per sonally work against one if they should ever try it again and not only that but I think pressure should be brought to bear on those responsible for not having purchased the system we voted for and must pay for with or without it. J. M. LOOKS BUSINESS-LIKE Burton Wells recently received the following letter from V. C. Stanley, president and general manager of the Gamewell Company of Newton, Mass. This company is headquarters for fire alarm and police signal sys tems: . Mr. Burton Well, Jr. O. K. Printery 1015 Caldwell Street Newberry, So. Carolina Dear Sir: Charlie Brent has just sent me a photograph of the new building you have erected for your Fire Depart ment Headquarters and it affords me pleasure to congratulate you on its fine appearance. I am always glad to see a City put up a building that is not too elaborate. The archi tecture of your building looks very business like and I am sure it is go ing to prove most efficient. He also sends me the clipping from Friday’s “Sun” headed “Wells Com ments on Fire Practices Here.” Thi s is just the kind of information the public needs in order to appreciate and understand the value of the Fire Department and that, after all, no matter how efficient a depart ment may be, it cannot give service unless it gets a prompt alarm. I am certain, therefore, if this good work is kept up and every advantage taken of pointing out to the public the results of delayed alarms, it will only be a question of a short time before you will have their backing 100 per cent and obtain, what you so richly deserve, a modern fire alarm system. Sincerely yours, (Signed) V. C. Stanley President & General Manager BREAKS ARM Roy H. Folk, 14, grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Will H. Folk of the Pres sley community of the county broke his right arm and wrist last Tues day while cranking a car. Roy had to be confined to ihis home last week, although his condition is now much improved. This Is Trade-In Week Liberal Allowance on Old Furniture Let's Swap! J. J. Langford & Son LOW-DOWN on the HIGH-UPS! BY LONNIE FRANKLIN Dutch McLean He is a little guy who after 18 years is going down to the Battery to coach at Porter. Many of you have never met hi mso you haven’t long to do so; you may at any home baseball game. Bill Laval Elected head coach September 1st, now getting a line on football pros pects for 1989. Been around a few vears and knows what it is all about. You used to cuss him niw you can raise him. Fred Hambright Took four years at Carolina, won the Jacobs cup for the best blocking back in the state, played last winter with the professional football team, the New York Giants. Hubert Setzler This bird has been here a few years as freshman coach, still is, and one of the best football scouts in Uncle Sam’s territory. He gets the block heads and tries to drill enough -nto “em” that the varsity can use “em.” Drug Store Coaches There are about 3,000 of us and you meet one of us every time you look. We know just what is wrong and how to correct it, but never tell the coach. If he wins, it’s our team; if he loses, they never were any good and still playing a 1902 style. We are the second guessers therefore al ways right. The Boosters They are several thousand who really want to go places and in the next few years are going places too. They pay to see the games and sup port athletics on the hill and are now engaged in a campaign to light Setzler Field, also to remodel it and get money to help the athletic cause along. Are you a booster or a drug store coach? You can be both if you want to. Dr. Kinard Jim is now pepped up ov-’r the out look on the hill and he has no ob jection to the number who get be hind him and Newberry. It’s as much the business of Newberry town people to support Newberry athle tics as it is Dr. Kinard’s business, because the larger the drawing pow er the more purchasing power on Main street after the game. Prof. Gaver He is the bird who totes the little black box and for a change he won’t be mad if he has something in it be sides nickels and dimes and the thought of plenty of passes. Teams can’t make money playing to paper gates. Dr. Setzler Well, the man longest in my mem ory as I think of athletics on the hill is Dr. Setzler. He was the moving spirit inside the old field when I was a moving on the limb of a pine tree looking over and that’s been a few years back. He has worn out sever al suits helping coach baseball teams and a few Walthams keeping time for football and basketball games. Now he is all smiles as he thinks of the next few years and the support fans are putting behind the team. Dr. Derrick He has always been for athletics and still yielding to no fan in his support of the team on the field. Professors Trabert, Epting, ' Good man, and others of the faculty, while never getting heated up like most of us in a close game, they all come out and lend their support. It may have been Dutch to Dude at the start, but he can tell you about the game in French now. Chewing the Rag Bill Laval and I were swapping tales the other day and if there is anything Bill likes better than some one to talk athletics with him—then it’s two. Bill once managed Green ville in the Sally League and fined himself ten bucks because he errored and lost the game. Another time when they had three on and two runs behind his heaviest hitter was chased out of the park and of all things. Bill, whom a 176 batting average would have made a slugger, put him self in and tripled. That is one of his greatest thrills. But the real in sight into Bill’s fighting along with his team is this. Furman was play ing Citadel and the Bulldogs were driving the Hurricane wild in a scoreless game. Late in the game a Furman back got loose and past the safety man, then stumbled and drop ped the ball where Citadel recover ed. Bill turned to a player on the bench and said, “I’ll be damned, There were only two things he could do—drop dead or drop that ball, and he dropped the ball.” Bill plays for keeps and that’s the knid of teams he sends out so that’s the knid of coach we have. Bill thinks we can go places and he is after going too. So get behind him and let’s ride. GRACE MOORE APPEARS HERE IN “ROMANCE” “I’ll Take Romance,” in which Grace Moore makes her long-awaited return to the screen, this time oppo site the handsome Melvyn Douglas, will be shown at the Opera House on Monday and Tuesday of next week.
