PAGE FIVE Chit-Chat By CONSTANCE ARMHELD The perfectly grand weather of the past few days reminds us of the poem which tells of “October’s bright blue weather” and such a phrase turns our thoughts to pleasing climate, neither too warm not too cool, of hikes or walks through the woods where the foliage is fastly changing to brilliant hues, of trips to the nearby moun tains which are reported lovely at this tone of the year, of county and state fairs, of exciting football games, and the like. Such grand things to do and such a grand time to do them. Don’t yow. agree with me that October is just about the best month of the entire year? Football Fans Football games brought forth a general exodus of football fans over the weekend. Somehow I just can’t get interested in football, but it must be awfully exciting—the distances some people travel to see a game. Last Saturday when th e Fighting Irish from Notre Dame met the Yellow- jackets of Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Ga., many from Newberry went down to see the battle. Among those were Mr. and Mrs. Steve Griffith, Miss Evelyn Bums, George K. Dominick, Carl Epting, Claude Sanders, C. E. Hendrix, Tom Fellers, Ned Purcell Cyril Hutchinson, Emory Bowman, N. C. Toole, Mr. and Mrs. Don Rook, and Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Lipscomb. When the Newberry Indians meet the Pres byterian College team Jthfe Friday night, a host of Newberrians will be in Clinton to witness th e game be tween these rivals of longstanding. First Meeting Holding its first meeting of the yeti Tuesa-y evening, the Newberry Made Club had an interesting ses sion. Mrs. John Frost Walker, of Union, president of the state Federat ed Music Clubs, of which the local club is a member, was present and addressed the gathering. The meet ing, held at the home of Miss Frances Jones, was in charge of Miss Eliza beth Shealy. She directed a pro gram on “Italian Folk Song.” The year’s study for the club is the folk music of other countries. A social hour followed the evening’s program. For Women So much going on these autumn days, it’s almost impossible for your soc. ed. to keep up with th e times. The ngxt few days will bring three meetings in th e county—all meetings pertaining to interest of milady.Near 500 women from the western section of th e state are gathered today iThursday) at the First Baptist Church on Caldwell street for an an nual meet. Tomorrow a large number of women will meet at the Stoney Hill school in the county for the semi-annual session of the County Council of Farm Women. Tuesday will be the date for another large meeting where a few men will be at tending. The Newberry County Edu cation Association holds its first meeting of the year at Prosperity. Most of the county’s 200 teachers w / Symbol of lEnburanrp When you erect a memorial you want to know that it is of such quality as to last indefinitely. The materials we use are the very best to be had anywhere; tried and tested by time itself. Let us show you designs of our work. We can please you and save you money. Jfambmy j^tonr (£o. ar e women—the percentage running about three to one. Of Interest Much interest centered here in the announcement of the marriage of Ed. Carlson and Miss Elizabeth Dutes of Charleston on Saturday, September 24. Ed, who was better known by his nickname, “Swede” graduated from Newberry High school where he was prominent in athletic circles. Such honors came to him in the High school as serving as captain of his football team, pitcher on baseball teams, and pitcher for the game in 1932 that won for Newberry the district champion ship. Mr. and Mrs. Carlson visited the former’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Carlson on Harrington street last week. They've returned to Char leston to make their home. Ed is stationed there as a patrolman of the state highway department. Moving Pictures On several occasions, the moving pictures of activities at Newberry college which were made by Professor Nelson, have been shown in this city and over the state. But somehow, some of us just continue to miss see ing them. Now the time comes once again when the public is invited to see the “Life at Newberry” in movies, some of which are techni-colored. Registrar Chris Kaufman, who oper ates the picture, will show it Monday evening at 7:30 at the Mollohon school house. Th e affair is being * non sored bv the Mollohon Girl Scouts of which Mamie Hawkins Is leader. No admission is being charged and +hp public is cordially invited bv the Scouts to attend. If you haven’t seen the pictures, take this opj)ortun- rty to do so. I inend to. Chatter Sunday’s edition of The Spartan burg Herald carried a large and at tractive picture of Mrs. Benjamin Robinson Pickens, the former Miss Laura Nance McCaughrin who is now making her home in Spartanburg . . Somehow I don’t get around to read ing best sellers until a couple of years late. Just the other day I read “If 11 perfected a sick Have Four Apples” by Josephine I to be known Lawerence—a queer book, but aw fully interesting Columbia, Oct. 10.—With a pro gram that unquestionably will eclipse any ever offered by the association in its history that dates back before the Confederate war, the South Carolina State Fair opens October 17 and runs throught October 22—six full days and six full nights—and Paul V. Moore, the secretary, has everything in readiness now, although the fair is •averal days away. With the first day given over to the opening exercises, the second day, Tuesday, will feature the Pal metto Futur e Farmers, who will be here in large numbers. Then Wed nesday is the 4-H Club day with at least 5,000 young people from this organization in attendance, along with many others. Thursday is “Big Thursday”, or College Day, when the Carolina-Clemson game tops th e bill. Friday is school day with thousands of children to be in Columbia with free admission to the grounds. Many are coming in school buses. Saturday is the closing day. A horse show, 'harness races (for the first time in years), an unusually fine grand stand show, Victor’s famous band, one of the greatest mid ways in the country, the best exhibits in the fair’s history, a lovely flower show, a great poultry exhibition, cattle, swine and other animals on display—all these things make up a fair that not only gives a bird’s eye view of South Carolina’s progress and its opportunities but also provides the finest in fair amusement. Indications are that there will be a swell attendance every day with Wed nesday, Thursday and Friday being unusually heavy. D. D. Witcover of Darlington, un der whom the fairs have been so suc cessful in recent years, is the presi dent, and as usual will be in Colum bia all of fair week, not to speak of his frequent consultations with sec retary Moore and his many visits to thn offices in Columbia and to the fair grounds throughout the year. BENEFIT ASSOCIATION FORMED AT MOLLOHON BY ALL MEANS PRENENT FIRES But at the same time be prepared for those fires over v hich you have no control. Be sure that your home and your furniture are amply covered by Fire Insurance. • This is the season of fires—the season when you are most liable to suffer heavy financial loss unless you are insured. Those who have never carried Fire Insurance will be surprised at its low cost. A few dollars invested in fire insurance will yield a big return in case of a fire. Newberry Insurance & Realty Co. MISS MAGGIE THOMASSON Secretary-T reasurer E. B. PURCELL President Newberry High school will get a much-needed addition to its gym. After several okays by the govern ment, the project will go forward. The plana for th e new gym and additional class rooms, all of which will be add ed to the present building, were de signed by Fulmer Wells . . . There’s nothing more fun than a ‘hike through the woods these lovely days—also grand weather for outdoor cooking . . . . The Margaret Hunter pool was drained Satun^ay and closed until another season . . . The park is un usually lovely just at this time . . . Grounds at the water works plant are a.so attractive to the eye now with the pampas grass in bloom ... A local citizen who visited the moun tains recently reported that area beautiful at this time of the year. The trees, turning from green to colors suggestive of autumn, make a scene that would delight any artist’s heart . . . J. C. Brooks, capable county treasurer, who always has a snappy comeback for whatever might bt said, found words beyond his reach last Thursday evening. His vocabu- jlary completely failed him when he 'walked into the home of his brother and found 60 of his friends gathered there to give him a surprise birthday party. He looked at the huge pile of packages containing gifts for him and then sat down without saying a word for three minutes. We wish him many, many happy returns of the day. One Year Old Let’s have a birthday party. All of you are invited. The reason? This column and newspaper is one year old this issue.

The Farm Agent and Home Demonstration Agent will be there also. “Farm families who desire federal aid to finance crop-making operations next year are urged to make arrange ments early,” said E. H. Spearman rehabilitation supervisor in charge of the Farm Security Administration of fices in Newberry county. Ample funds have been provided for next year’s loan requirements of families who farmed with FSA as sistance this year, and additional funds are now available to allow more families to be aided. “An advice from our regional of fice in Montgomery, Alabama, states that new families may be (helped this year if applications are submitted in formation of the 16th century which was accomplished by Mar.in Luther and the other reformers of that time. The principles of the Reformation have always been a precious heritage of free peoples and just now is no time to loose sight of them when de mocracy, free speech, free press, and freedom of conscience are being put to extreme test. Shall they survive, or must the battle be fought over again? Let us strive to keep Ameri ca- fre e in spirit out of which all others freedoms arise. The public is cordially invited to this service, and since it is the act of the Newberry Conference, it is hop ed that there will be a large atten dance from the churches in the county.
