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

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.

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.

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.
