Miss Sara Toole Weds
O. D. Harvin Thursday
Of widespread interest to a host
of friends in South Carolina and
other states was the wedding: of Miss
Sara Eugenia Toole, daughter of Mr.
ind Mrs. Norman Cary Toole of this
city, and Olin Dannerly Harvin, son
of Mrs. O. D. Harvin Sr., and the late
Mr. Harvin of Plnewood, which was
solemnized in the home of the bride's
parents at 1916 College street at four
o’clock Thursday afternoon, Decem
ber 29. The nuptials were performed
by Dr. R. A. Goodman, professor of
Bible at Newberry college, in the
presence of a small gathering of
close friends and near relatives of
.the couple.
The ceremony was performed in
the living room where ferns, palms,
and Southern smilax were generous
ly used for a background. White
cathedral candles, arranged in seven-
‘branched candlebra, cast a soft glow
ever the room.
Mrs. E. B. Setzler, pianist, and
Mrs. Mattie Lou Blackmon, vocalist,
■rendered the wedding music. Prior to
the ceremony, Mrs. Blackmon san^
-‘O Promise Me” and “I Love You
■Truly”. For the processional Mrs.
Setzler played the bridal chorus from
Lohengrin and the soft strains of
“Traumerei” were heard while the
•vows were being spoken.
The bride entered the room with
tier father by whom she was given in
marriage and was met by the bride
groom accompanied by his brother,
Harry L. Harvin, as best man.
The bride’s commanding brunette
Jbeauty was enhanced by her costume,
.a traveling ensemble which consisted
4>i .an advanced Scaparelli model of
j*avy blue sheer wool with touches
«of white. She wore a navy French
toque with navy veil and other acces
sories were of harmonizing shades.
Her flowers were Sunglow roses and
lilies of the valley arranged in a
beautiful shoulder corsage.
Immediately after the ceremony,
•the bride’s parents entertained at an
informal reception for the wedding
g^ie-sts. Entertaining in the living
room and reception hall were Mrs. O.
M. Cobb, Mrs. J. L. Feagle, Mrs. A.
T. Neely, and Mrs. C. A. Dufford.
In the dining room, a green and
white color motif was used. The lace
covered table was centered with a low
bowl of white carnations and fern
mounted on a reflector. White tap
ers in silver holders burned about
the room. Mingling with the guests
in this room were Mrs. R. W. Holt
and Miss Julia Wicker Serving the
delicious refreshments consisting of a
salad plate, fruit cake, and coffee
were Miss Martha Toole, Miss Fran
ces Sutton, Miss Mary Helen Good
man, and Miss Alice Wicker.
Presiding at the bride’s register
in the hall was Miss Jane Goodman.
During the afternoon, the couple
left for a short wedding trip return
ing to Pinewood in Sumter county to
make their home.
Mrs. Harvin, the eldest daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Toole, is a young wo
man of particularly fine characteris
tics. She is a graduate of Newberry
college, class of '36, having completed
her course there with highest honors.
For the past three years she has re
sided at North where she is a mem
ber of the high school faculty.
Mr. Harvin attended Clemson col
lege and is now connected with the

Chit-Chat
By CONSTANCE ARMFIELD
Here we are facing a new year
and wondering what the next twelve
months will bring. Down have come
the shabby ’38 calendars and up goes
the bright shiny ones to designate
the days of ’39. Everywhere you
turn you . see new calendars, some
bearing commercials, others adorable
children, and still others streamlined
blonds. With the appearance of the
infant New Year most of us have
made resolutions. Do you have room
for one more on that long list? Well,
let’s resolve to keep all the resolu
tions we’ve made!
Gay Dance
Despite the icy, rainy weather of
last Tuesday evening, a large crowd
attended the Newberry-Clemson club
dance at the Legion hall, the affair
being one of the most colorful of the
Christmas season in Newberry. Pret
ty decorations in the Clemson colors
of purple and gold, were fixed about
the hall. Streamers were arranged
overhead and about the windows
with a likeness of the Clemson tiger
at the end of the hall. The Newberry
•college “N” orchestra furnished the
music.
Open House
Following a delightful custom of
several years’ standing, Dr. and Mrs.
Charles L. Trabert held open house
Sunday, New Year’s day, at their
lovely home on Nance street. Their
many friends called during the day
to exchange greetings for a prosper
ous and happy year to come. And
also following another delightful cus
tom, the Traberts served delicious
sillabub and fruit cake to all callers.
Back Home
Back home from New York city
and reporting a wonderful trip is
Frances Wallace who has spent the
past two weeks with relatives in the
big city. Frances returned Monday
afternoon, her mother Mrs. R. G.
Wallace and brother. Cam, meeting
her in Charlotte, N. C. The traveller
reported the Christmas decorations in
New York most beautiful, and lots of
snow made the picture complete.
Frances tried her luck at ice skating.
She thought it swell but a bit diffi
cult and quite different from the
good old roller skates. How she man'
aged during her short time there I
don’t know, but Frances took in 13
plays during her visit. I was much
interested to know if one of the 13
was the great Broadway success,
“Hellzapoppin” and I found she did
have the grand luck to see it. All
the seats in the theatre and standing
room have been sold through March.
But Frances was visiting her uncle
who is a producer—result, a grand
seat to see everything, and it was a
great play according to Frances. Al-
ready Frances is planning and hoping
to go to New York again next
Christmas.
Hinting
There’s a nursery rhyme or 4itty
or gomtthlng that goes, “I know some
thing I ain’t going to tell". Well, I
know something too and as much as
I would like to tell it, I can’t. How
ever if you guess it from these hints,
that’s not my fault. Before so many
months have passed, two very prom
inent members of Newberry’s young?
er set will be married, not married
to each other, but two different mar
riages. One wedding will take place
here and the other at a town in this
state. Both the girls received ador
able engagement rings just before
Christmas and were showing them
around 'here a great deal. Both of
the girls are well known here and
both go to the same college, and
both—well, that’s about all j can
say without telling you. If you have
not guessed you’ll just have to wait
until the engagement announcements
appear.
Of Interest
Cordial' interest centered here in
the marriage of Sara Toole to O. D.
Harvin of Pinewood, Sumter county.
The marriage was quite a surprise to
outsiders, in fact to intimate friends.
And even further, it was somewhat a
surprise to the bride and groom be
cause first plans were to be married
this summer after schools closed.
But all of a sudden Sara and O. D.
decided now was the time, so plans
were made for the wedding in about
two days. Despite the short time, a
beautiful wedding and reception was
held at the home of the bride’s par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Norman C. Toole,
on College street. Sara attended the
city schools and was an honor grad
uate from Newberry college. While
living here, she was a very popular
and charming member of the college
set. Finishing Newberry in ’36 she
was elected to the Pinewood high
school to teach Latin and French. She
has been there since that time and
will finish out this year teaching.
However, Sara’s teaching carter will
probably end this spring, because
she sensibly believes a wife’s place is
in the home. And I know Sara will
make a lovely home. She will reside
in Pinewood where O. D. is located.
Lovely Wedding
One of the loveliest weddings ever
witnessed in these parts was that of
Betty Horton and Ed. McCrackin
which took place on Thursday during
the week before Christmas. With the
beautiful decorations of Christmas
motif, the Grace Methodist church of
Union created an ideal setting for
the wedding. State-wide interest
centered in this union as one could
easily see from the bride’s book in
which were registered friends from
all over the State. Betty and Ed.
took a week for a wedding trip thru
Tennessee and Virginia, returning to
the city last Thursday.
Vlsite
If I had some sort of magic method
of learning about all the comings and
goings that took place over Christ
mas, I could fill a newspaper with
personal items. But even a reporter
doesn’t hear everything. What I
have learned amounts to something
like this: Visiting the E. M. Lips
combs on College street this week
are Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Moorehead of
Florence. Mrs. Moorehead is the
former Miss Nelle Lipscomb, sister of
Mr. Lipscomb, and whose marriage a
few months ago created wide social
interest... .Bernard Todd of Mobile,
Alabama, is a guest in the home of
the Wilton Todds .... Miss Mattie
Adams spent the fleeting holidays in
Ocala, Florida with Mrs. W. L. Ar
mour and Miss Margaret Walters...
Mrs. Cannon G. Blease, Mr. and Mrs.
Richard Baker and daughter, Betty,
toured Florida during the holidays...
The Aubrey Harleys holidayed with
relatives in Walterboro and Barn
well.
Chatter
Always there comes to the mind of
a columnist some things to jot down
that aren’t exactly newsy, but en
tertaining (we hope.) And so, for a
little of this and that under a para
graph entitled “Chatter”: Thrown
with a person the other day whom I
was not well acquaitted with, and all
I could think to talk about was the
weather (good old stand-by!.) I said
I thought we were having very unus
ual weather for mid-winter and fur
ther remarked that the warm weather
was very nice. And the stranger re
turned with the statement that this
winter was nothing compared to one
he had witnessed many years ago.
He said he well remembered the year
when he went barefoot on New Year’s
day and practically the entire win
ter Not rushing the season much
but the ten cent stores are displaying
Valentine goods.... The Christmas
season brought enough weddings to
make even your soc. ed. feel good.
She’s just about convinced that Jane
has nothing on December when it
comes to romance.. . .The argument
continues as to whether the up-on-top
hair style is going out or coming in
stronger than ever. Some think the
ifad is waning but I happened to be
looking over the newest hair-style
magazines in a beauty shop and, lo
and behold, every page in the maga
zine bristled wth the up-and-up
style... Monday’s buses carried away
loads of college students returning to
their respective schools.... Before so
very long we’ll see the bright yellow
jasamine blooming, a welcome sight
after the drab of winter.'.. .Then
there’s the story of the local young
gentleman who received a nifty and
spacious suitcase for Christmas. He
went out of town to spend the week
end but didn’t take it along because
he didn’t have the goods to fill it.
The bag is remaining in cold storage
until summei when the gentleman in
tends to take another trip. This time
he will carry the handsome new bag
along—filled with his winter over
coat and toothbrush And another
Christmas tale, if you can stand it.
Just a day or two before the annual
arrival of Santa, a little fellow or
Calhoun street happened to be ramb
ling through a seldom used closet. To
his amazement and joy he discovered
a shiny red wagon—just the kind he
had wanted Santa to bring him. You
can imagine the expression of his
mother’s face when he rolled the wa
gon before her and with his face
wreathed in smiles exclaiming, “Look,
’ittle wed wagon, ’ittle wed wagon!”
. . . The universal Christmas gift
this season for members of the fair
er sex seems to have been lockets.
You’re just about out of style if you
don’t posses one . . . Newberry Cal
lege began its second term Tuesday
after holidays of two weeks. It’s
good to see students and teachers in
the vicinity again . . . There were
plenty of parties round and about
last Saturday night, New Year’s
Eve, but they were all the kind term
ed “drop-ins" which the hostesses
prefer not to have published. So goes
life.
Ernest Mayo spent the Christmas
holidays with friends in Spartanburg.
Miss Mary Blrge Kohn and Miss
Jane Summer visited relatives in Co
lumbia over the weekend.
Hal Kohn, Jr., visited in Johnston
last week with Earl Smith.
Home Demonstration
Activities
Throughout the centuries. New
Year's Day hag been a day of prime
importance and good cheer in many
nations. It was observed as a holi
day in Ancient Rome. Ovid (43 B. C-
18 A. D.> speaks of refraining law
suits and strife, and of smoking al
tars and white robed processions to
the capitol. It appears from other
sources that the exchange of greet
ings, the giving and receiving of
presents, wishing good luck, mas
querading, and feasting were features
of New Yeai’s Day in the time of
the empire. It appears to have been
the one grett holiday observed
throughout the entire Roman Em
pire. The Persians celebrate their day
by giving each other presents of eggs.
There is a tradition among them that
even the most careless trim the beard
and take a bath on New Year’s Day.
Among the Saxons, New Year’s was
a day of wassail, drinking, and feast
ing. The French called on each
other for presents. The Scotch gave.
New Year’s presents. One of Burns’
most characteristic poems bears the
long title of “The Auld Farmer’s New
Year Morning Salutation to His Auld
Mare Maggie on Giving Her the Ac
customed Rip of Com to Hansel in
the New Year.”
The observance of New Year’s as
a day of calling and social inter
course was introduced into the colo
nies by the Dutch of New York. The
presidents, beginning with Washing
ton, have been accustomed to re
ceive on News Year’s Day; but the
good old Knickerbocker custom of
making New Year’s calls is falling in
to disuse..
In the time of the Empire, in St.
Petersburg, Moscow and other Rus
sian cltiee, New Year’s was a great
day. According to the custom of the
Greek church, the morning was oc
cupied with religious ceremonies.
Boxes of candies were regarded as
appropriate presents. Many of the
wealthy sent their bonbons in costly
caskets of the choicest porcelain or of
enameled silverware. The Japanese
and the Chinese make much of New
Year’s. They decorate their door
ways with boughs and flowers to de
bar the entrance of evil spirits.
In the northern part of the United
States, New Year’s Eve is a time of
noisy and sometimes immoderate ce
lebration, while in the south, New
Year’s Day is only an anti-climax to
Chrietmas. In all parts of the nation,
however, New Year’s Day is a day of
good feeling and good resolutions.
Though the very best resolutions may
be wafted away by he adverse winds
which are sure to blow early in the
New Year, the almost universal prac
tice of resolving is well worth while.
It is the Stop! Look! and Listen! sign,
Which warns of danger to our better
nature.
Free Spenders Favor
A Sales Tax
WANT ADS
By SPECTATOR
Newberry County is very fortunate
to get two of the prizes in the Home
Demonstration’s Better Garden Con
test. Mrs. W. B. Goggans won first
place in the Piedmont District and
gets $25, and Miss Sara Alice Wicker
won third place and gets $20.
Besides having plenty of vegetables
and fruits to serve to the family,
these contestants canned according
to the family budget and also sold a
surplus. The Contest begins anew on
Jaunary 1st and closes October 31st,
1939. Any Home Demonstration Club
member is elegible. If you wish to
enter the contest, please notify your
Home Demonstration Agent at once.
The Sales Tax is again to the
front. Two groups are urging the
adoption of a sales tax, but they are
wide apart in their reasons for advo
cating such a tax. One group is
composed of Golden Spenders. They
would keep all the taxes and add
more taxts so that more might be
spent. Anything like reduction is
repugnant to them ^and they feel
proud to be the authors of progress,
progress in their minds is occasion
for more spending. The other group
is of men like Frank Manning of
Marlboro who try to stand squarely
on the ground with both feet while
looking around. Some men, you
know, just float about in the clouds
and never touch the ground. The
hard-headed, commonsense men fav
or a sales tax in order to relieve real
estate, which in the counties and
towns still carries the load.
There is no doubt that we have a
considerable element of our popula
tion which is not contributing g fair
share to keep up our government.
Many a town man with a wage or
salary of $1,200 a year, payable
weekly or monthly, sends two, three
or four children to school and pays no
property tax, no income tax, no tax
at all, unless it be poll tax—and a lot
of men are dodging that,
I mention the man and his children
as an illustration. If he had owned
a farm or a store yielding him a net
income of $1,200 he would certainly
have paid all the taxes paid by the
man on salary and two or three times
more.
Worse, of course, is the escape of
many unmarried men and women
with pay ranging even higher. Some
times they pay a small income tax
and a few nuisance taxes.
Land today is worth very little and
it is yielding leas than the taxes, in
terest and upkeep, except, of course,
in boom towns, such as Columbia.
The first and supreme function of
any government is to maintain pub
lic order and peace, to protect every
one in his person, in his occupation
and in the enjoyment of his property.
Our State performs this service, and
every man, woman, and child enjoys
that protection. Every one of us
should pay something for it. The next
great public service is the prevention
of epidemics. Our State serves us
in that, too. The next is the modern
idea of providing formal schooling.
We provide that overwhelmingly but
indiscriminately, for we include all
subjects found in the encyclopedia,
but the teaching is not notable for
excellence and the impact an the in
tellectual and spiritual development
of the pupils seems to be very mild.
South Carolina is not worse than
other States in this; we have made
the mistake of letting teachers pre
scribe the courses—just as the other
have. We spend a pile of money for
a poor people and do not get results
emmensurate with the expense. This
is a symptom of our national urge
to diffusion and superficiality.

Help For Aged It
Misunderstood
The inaccurate use of the term “old
age pension” by G.ficial>, public
speakers and the press has caused
the useless expenditure of a large
amount of money, according to Thom
as H. Daniel, director of the South
Carolina department of public wel
fare, and has materially delayed the
department’s work.
“Hundreds of persons have applied
to our county welfare offices under
the very natural impression that an
old-age pension has been provided,”
said Mr. Daniel. “Their applications
have to be in.-i'+igated, and the in
vestigation not only costs money, but
consumes time and delays investiga
tion of really needy cases.
No Old Age Pension
There is not now, and there never
has been, any old age pension pro
vided by either the federal or the
state law. The word ‘pension’ is not
found in either statute. The expres
sion used in both is ‘old-age assist
ance,’ which is a very different thing.
It is a direct donation by state and
federal governments, and can be
given only to those persons over 65
who are found by careful investiga
tion to be unable to provide them
selves with a reasonable subsistence.
To such persons the law provides
that assistance may be given from
the state and federal treasuries.
“A pension, as defined by the su
preme court of the United States, is ‘a
sated allowance, out of the public
treasury, granted by government to
an individual for hi s valuable ser
vices to the country, or in compensa
tion for loss or damage, sustained by
him in public service.’
Each Case Separate.
“Another deep-rooted misconcep
tion is the belief that some fixed
amount can be given all needy per
sons over 65. Neither state nor fed
eral law will permit this. TW need
in each case must be determined ac
cording to the circumstances of the
individual concerned, and if two per
sons are given the same amount, it Is
because analysis of their need shows
the same result. So this means, of
course, that no person is entitled to
assistance because another is given
an award. Every case must be con
sidered on its own. merits, and ac
cording to standards of need which
have been prepared by a government
agency and approved by the state de
partment of public welfare and the
social security board.
“We have tried hard to get these
two ideas over to the public—that as
sistance, and not a pension, is pro
vided, and that no fixed or flat grant
in any amount can be made to ail
who are found eligible. If
papers and others would def
discard the term ‘old age pension’ it
would contribute materially toward
a clearer understanding of the pro
gram, and, incidentally, it would save
a lot of work and a lot of expense in
investigating clearly ineligible cases."
