FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1939 Chit-Chat By CONSTANCE ARMHELD ' For some, Friday, the 13th, is just about as unlucky as a dozen black cats. If you are one of the victims, you had better get out the old rab bit foot and polish it up for Friday of this week is the 13th. Then the bunny hoof can go back into cold sto rage for 10 months. The next “hard- luck day” comes in October of this year. The closing year might have been pretty tough in numbers of ways, but we experienced only one Friday, the 13th, and that was last May. From On High When aeroplanes are buzzing over head, I’m thankful for good old ter ra firma, but over the weekend I got a little air-minded and decided I would like to be up looking down. So bundled in all the coats I possess, I climbed in the pit of an open plane and grabbing firmly to everything within reach started on my very first aeroplane ride. Newberry from a bird’s eyeview (or should I say re porter’s eyeview) resembles a minia ture city of play houses, buildings, cars, and other things that might have been assembled in the toy de partment of some, large store. Cir cling over the city I recognized quite a few places—that is when I could keep my hair out of my eyes long enough to see. Temporarily controll ing my fear of ascension, I looked down to see Speer street school, and then the High school stadium. The •water works plant and grounds made an attractive picture. Coming over the business section, the first thing noticeable were the public squares looking like small plots of grass. A- gain shoving back my hair, I noticed the old court house, Main street with its miniature and slow-moving cars, and when the plane swooped to one side, practically scaring me to death, i could take in College street, the new court house, and on out pass the Margaret Hunter park and the Col lege and its stadium. Houses in the residential section were like neat toy blocks and outlying fields and pas tures might have composed a minia ture golf course. And now, having fully recovered from my first trip on high, I’m anxious to go back. Next time I would like to fly over Lake Murray so just in case the pilot de cides that he and the passengers should leave the plane in midair, I could make a three point landing in the water instead of on the ground. It would probably be a little softer. Recent Marriage So many marriages took place during the Yuletide season that we fail V; get around mentioning and commenting on all that were of in terest to us. However at this late time we make mention of the mar riage of Miss Thelma Kennedy of Beaufort to the Rev. James Lee Shealy. James Lee is of course known by so very many of us. He resided at Prosperity and attended Newberry college. After graduation here, he at tended the Southern Lutheran Theo logical Seminary in Columbia and Is now connected with the South Caro lina state hospital as chaplain. I saw James Lee and hi* in Columbia RECENT BRIDE w ■ FOR RENT—Very reasonably, 6 room house close in, good condition, ga rage, good neighborhood. Inquire about this and save money on your rent bill.

Mrs. Shealy is certainly a most attractive, and sweet, looking young lady. Annual Banquet Members of the Newberry high football squad were honored with a banquet at the school last Friday evening, served by members of the home ec. department. Other guests included members of the school board of trustees, Supt. O. B. Cannon and P. K. Harmon, principal of the high school. This banquet is an annual affair and is usually attended by the players’ “dates”. Guess they thought it would be more fun to “stag” for a change. On the serving tables, decor ated in the school colors, white and blue, covers were laid for 35 guests. Miniature ballfields centered the ta bles, and a three-course turkey din ner was served. Star players were awarded a block “N” while gifts were presented Captain Walter Gog- gans and Co-captain Walter Bodie. Coach H. H. Hedgepath received a gift from the team. Happiness Cake The following unique” recipe”, was handed me a few days ago. It’s one that each of us should try and makt a real success of: “Home Happiness Cake”—one pup of common sense; one-half cup of justice; ope and one- half pup of love sifted with one-half teaspoon of mutual confidence. Spice the ingredients listed with wit and nonsense. Bake in the moderate oven of warm approval, Ipe prettily with generous appreciation. Note, every body, that twice as much common sense, three times as much love, and four times the humor go to make this happiness cake, as there is of justice, which we are so fond of dealing out! (Sometimes our own small under standing of justice according to OUR mind!) This recipe will stand sturdy while you mix the cookies! Ah, if we only knew the art of making this cake, we could call it “angel food” and what a marvelous daily diet! Chatter A good crowd of Newberrians at tended the basketball game at the field house on the South Carolina Uni versity campus Saturday evening to see Newberry defeat Carolina, 40 to 32. In fact, there were too many from here to try to mention. The group was large enough to do some vigorous yelling for our college. Your writer discovered that she had done too much cheering the next morning when she was unable to utter a sound while attempting to join in the sing ing at church. It was really great to see the so-termed “underdog” defeat a big school team. Here’s hoping Newberry will put out a champion ship five . . . The subject was aero plane rides and the colored cook put in her two cents worth by remarking that she was never going up in one of those things. She said she never intended to go that high but once and when that one time came, she fully intended to keep on going up and not come back. If she came back, she may never have the chance to go up again ... So very many autos have radios in this day and time. Whereas it used to be unusual to ride in an auto with a* radio, it’s now unusual to be in one without a radio . . . Al ready many are thinking in terms of the ’39 World’s Fair in New York city. Many parties will be going from here . . . All shops in Columbia are showing the new and lovely spring styles. Makes you wish you had a few hundred just to spend on clothes . . . Kids in the public schools are doing a lot of cramming this week preparing for first term exams next week . . ^ Of all the various “collect ing" hobbies, I think coin collecting would be the most fun . . . The bprlng-like weather we’ve had the past few days is simply glorious. Newspapers reported that the Dies committee, investigating un-Ameri can activity, contacted a ‘strip tease’ performer. The lady, we presume, had nothing to conceal! TVs a good thing to be content with your lot—after you’ve built a house on it. PARTY GIVEN FOR DOUGLAS STOKES, 8 On Friday afternoon Mrs. P. J Stokes entertained a number of children at a delightful party cele brating the eighth birthday of her son, Douglas. The little guests as' sembled on the lawn and spent the afternoon playing games and enter ing contests. Gifts were drawn from a fish pond in the house. Later in the afternoon the children were invited into the dining room for refreshments and were served jello, cake, and mints. The birthday cake, white iced a«d topped with eight tiny yellow candles, centered interest in the room. Each little guest was pre sented with gaily colored baloon as a souvenir of the occasion. MRS. ALLEN W. MURRAY ENTERTAINS AT BRIDGE Entertaining at bridge Saturday afternoon was Mrs. Allen W. Murray at her home on Johnstone street. Members of her club gathered at two tables with Mrs. P. K. Harmon play ing for an absent member. In the bridge progressions, Mrs. Harmon and Mrs. E. E. Stuck won the high score prizes. When bingo was played, Mrs. E. E. Stuck was winner. Late in the afternoon, a salad plate was served. The spacious liv ing room was most effectively arrang ed with growing plants for the oc casion. MRS. WISEMAN HOSTESS AT WEEKEND PARTY Among the social gatherings of the weekend was the party given Sat urday afternoon by Mrs. J. E. Wise man for members of her bridge club. Contract bridge was played at two tables and in the progressions Mrs. E. M. Lipscomb and Mrs. C. I. You- mans won the prizes for high scores. The bingo prize award went to Mrs. T. L. Hicks.

Summer TELEPHONE 110 On Your Next Paint Job TRY Atheys R. M. LOMINACK Hardware Looking 'Em Over By LONNIE FRANKLIN Newberry’s Chance Indians 40 Carolina 32 The Indians took the Gamecocks in Columbia starting the season with a win and we go out on a limb right here to say that the state team win ning the basketball crown will have to stop Newberry. The sports writera speak of Laval’s team as underdogs and that’s just the way Bill would have ’em say it, but don’t sell Newberry short. There is Cappola, a dead shot; Lu cas and Schuller, neither any slouch at tossing the ball for forwards; De- Bruhl and Croxton, centers; Cromer, an all-state guard with Thurman, Lambeth, and Hood for the other guards and with Wessinger, anoth er forward. That gives two teams with any number of different forma tions. It looks from here that Clemson, Newberry, and probably Furman will battle for the honor and I like the Indians best. After a grand football season if Bill does come up with a basketball championship in his first year, the sports thermometer hereabouts will need new figures. Watch the schedule and go up on the hill as they play as winners and help along by big turnouts. I’ve seen the gym full for basketball games and expect to see it full this winter lots of times. Getting Restless This weather just gives you itch for a look at the old ball yard, does n’t it? Well, in a little more than a month, the boys will be out hitting fungoes, shagging flies, and nursing sore arms. Mickey Livingston finished the season with Washington last year but will be back at Trenton this year and Mick is raring to go. Derrill Bouknight, owned by St. Louis, will head up North Carolina •way again. Dunk Singley with Jacksonville last season will probably be back in the Sally League again. It looks like fans will watch the midstate for the twentieth season. Newberry College doesn’t tell any body, but Coach Laval may come up with a fine college team. Harry Hedgepath at the Hi just has to take what he can find and you know the fellow has done a swell job with many make-shift layouts.

ABRAMS, Auditor Newberry County. slam bang party that should be. Joe Louis of Detroit faces Henry Lewis of Pheonix, each carrying dy namite in those ram-like hands and each the best of friends. But that will be forgotten when the bell rings. No odds are reported as yel but my dough, if I had any, woul ride on Joe Louis and I wouldn’t lose any sleep worrying until the fight was over either. Joe isn’t saying much—just going about getting in shape while Henry says his pappy told him to keep his pants off the floor. That’s good ad vice, but Joe may keep ’em on the floor. Joe has fought the big shots of the heavy class, learned lots and done fine in his last few fights while Henry has to prove to me that he can face the mastodons and still walk out of the ring. Yet I concede him the best chance of upsetting Joe of any man in the ring today. They just “ain’t” up there yet that can make Joe take it and like it. Textile Basketball The Newberry mills basketball team is heading places and fans should turn out to see these boys and girls play. The boys have Mickey Living stone, Derrill Bouknight, Bob Creek- more, Bubber Whittle, all well known athletes and several promising com ers that you will hear from the next few years. Shucks, this baseball weather gets you, doesn’t it? GAME GROUP ENTERTAINS STATE PRESIDENT The aims and program of the state Fish and Game Association was the subject of an interesting address made by the Rev. B. S.
