PAGE SIGHT THE SUM FRIDA?, APRIL 21, 1989 Chit-Chat By CONSTANCE ARMFIELD 2 SIDES To EVERY QUESTION H-D COLUMN By LYTLE HULL An event which primarily interests the farm women of Newberry but is of importance to all is the annual spring meeting of the County Coun cil of Farm Women which this year —Friday-—is being held at the New Hope-Zion school with the Mt. Plea- , sant and New Hope-Zion Home Dem onstration clubs entertaining. A morning and afternoon session is being planned with many interesting features on the program. Bur,'-ess Boltman, the capable “highway safe ty” man from the state highway de partment speaks at 10:30 in the morning. The afternoon meeting features a talk by Hal Kohn on dah lia culture and an entertainment pro gram by the Mt. Pleasant club. The council, which meets twice yearly, is composed of the county demonstra tion clubs which are supervised by the home demonstration agent, Miss Ethel Counts. Mrs. D. S. Halfacre is president of the Council and Mrs. Paul Long, secretary. The Friday meeting begins at 10 o’clock. To New York Many will be heading New York- wa?d later in the year to attend the World’s Fair. Up there this week, however, on a buying spree for their attractive store, are Mr. and Mrs. E. A. .Carpenter. They were accom panied by Mr. and Mrs. Jackson Bowers. Tournament Queen The Charleston Azalea Festival , program each spring features a lancing tournament which is of up- most interest to those who have never seen one. Even those of us who have seen them do not mind in the laaat sitting through one at any time. Many skillful riders entered the Charleston tournament this year. Each contestant had a sponsor—a lovely girl dressed in a gown of the days when “knighthood was in flower”. The tournament winner’s sponsor automatically became queen for an afternoon—the queen of the lancing tournament. Joe Bates of Charleston was the winner. His sponsor was Helen Mower, younger daughter of Mrs. F. D. Mower and the late Dr. Mower of this city. Helen is a freshman at the College of Charleston.

GETS FIRST BATH The reservoir of the Newberry Cotton mill is to receive its first cleaning in 55 years! The reservoir was built in 1883 and since that time it has continued to function, just as it is, but the officials have planned to give it a cleaning and the contract has been awarded to H. K. Whitaker and sons of the city. The work be gins on Friday and will last for two weeks. Thousands of little minnows can be seen daily on top of the water despite the hot water steaming into the pond from the big engines of the mill just across the street. During the two weeks of cleaning the pond the mill will be closed and many of the operatives intend hieing away to the banks of Lake .Murray for a try at the finney tribe! ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED An announcement has been made of the engagement of Miss Elizabeth Ballentine to Harold F. Long of Newberry, the marriage to take place in July. Miss Ballentine is the daughter of Mrs. Carrie Ballentine and the late John A. Ballentine of Newberry. NEWBERRY DEFEATS P. C. Newberry College’s track team de feated Presbyterian College at Clin ton 73 to 58 Wednesday by taking nine firsts and placing in all but one event. Lambeth of Newberry was high scorer with 18 points. Others on the local college’s team included Oli ver, O’Hara, Croxton, Toole, Kitn- mell, Shealy, Fullerton, Cappola, Hardin and Forman. Don’t bother to read this if you are starving and can’t get help any where. You are probably violently opposed to our form of Government and have joined the Communist Party. That Party will promise you food- and plenty and it will keep its promise just as it has in Russia. You can get food and clothes in Russia, if you like dead horse and the gunny sacks which the Bolshies call wearing apparel. You can even buy apples, if you hive more money than you are allowed to earn. And you don’t have to bother about the hereafter and Hell and all that sort of trash. Life is Hell all the time in Russia, and you’re “suspected” if you believe in Heaven. Another nice thing about their system is that there is no family life. One isn’t bothered by a lot of mangy children running about. The state takes these off your hands and weans them for you. And you don’t have to mull around at home with your wife or husband. The idea is that everyone shall live together in nice big wooden barracks with the old stove crackling in the central hall and unattractive gents with long inhabited hair making speeches about how happy you are. If you should own you own farm, you are known as a Kulak, and get liquidated, which is lots of fun. In fact in Russia the original five mil lion Kulacks have all been given a long, long holiday. Some of them were even allowed their choice be tween Heaven and Siberia. Most of thm chose Heaven—and got it. The Bourgeoisie, or shop keepers and small business people, mostly went to Hell—or so the Bolshies tell us. But, after all, either one of these resorts is a pretty nice place to go after a season in present day Russia. At least, when you’re in Hell, your children don’t sneak around and eavesdrop to see if they can win a medal by reporting some remark of yours which will send you before the firing squad. However, one doesn’t really have to worry much bout getting shot anymore, because there are very few left worth shooting. Fifteen million is the average estimate of those who have been murdered by forcible star vation, shooting, etc., in the last twenty-one years, and now there’s no qne left with property or money enough to be killed for except the leaders, and they are fortunately shooting each other. All you have to do to avoid the firing squad—and die slowly of men tal misery and undernourishment— is to keep out of politics, keep your mouth shut tight, don’t fall down on the job you are made to take, and don’t look crosseyed at your boss. And just to think—all these won derful things we can have and are going to get, if we will just carry on as we are now doing. Don’t take the troubl^ to find out what kind of men we are electing to office and don’t- under any circumstances—write our representatives and object to some of the proposed laws which we don’t like the smell of. Let the left wing ers do this. They understand now and are doing it daily. Besides, their stamps are mostly paid for by Communist organizations, where as we have to buy our own. Don’t bother to raise a kick when our kids tell us of Red teachings in the school, and by all means en courage those of our friends, who have turned pink and joined the town’s Communist Club. But, above all, believe all the junk which is handed out to us by that element of self-styled Intelligentia- misnamed “Liberals.” Then, before long, when we have our next peri odic financial depression, the Reds will take over the government and we won’t have anything more to wor ry about—for long. There are over one hundred mil lion real Americans still left in this country of a hundred and thirty mil lion people. They are the finest race of people on earth—happy, good na- tured, and too darned honest to be lieve that there is a highly efficient orgpnization of avaricious, ruthless men and women working night and day toward the destriuction of our government and the confiscation of our homes, our farms, our business’s and even many of lives. These Americans must wake up in time. They must stop pooh-poohing ' the idea that “It can happen here.” It isn’t “majorities” who have brought about the great social revo lutions in History. It is tiny “minori ties” who wait for the opportune mo ment, and then strike with murder ous force. ST. PHILIPS NEWS Film Star Thrills Capitol Secretaries WASHINGTON, D. C. . . .

SOUTHERN MOTORCADE SHOWS PREVIEW ON WHEELS Cash Prices Only 60c MUM 75c Bayer ASPIRIN 100 TABLETS 59c Dr. West TOOTH PASTE 1 TUBE TO CUSTOMER 25c 7c 60c Sal Hepatica DOWNEY, Calif. . . . The Vultee YA-19, all metal attack plane, in its initial flight here prior to being delivered to the United States Army A r Corps. The low-winged monoplane is powered by a Pratt & Whitney “twin Wasp,” 14 cylinder, radial-cooled engine. It car ries a crew of three, -and attains a speed in excess of 230 miles an hour. It is designed to carry 800 pounds of bombs and six machine guns. A preview on wheels of the Southern Motorcade was in Newberry Wednesday night, April 5. It con sisted of an exhibition of the New York’s World’s Fair and a large dis play illustrating the sources of raw materials and the manufacture as well as the distribution of Arcadian Nitrate of Soda. It was brought to the city in cooperation with the ferti lizer dealers, manufacturers and the Barrett Company, distributors of Arcadian Nitrate of Soda. The local representatives of the Barrett company Jimmy Daniel of Columbia was in charge of the pro gram. After some preliminary statements, he presented Mayor J. W. Earhardt, to whom was presented a letter from Grover Whalen, President of the New York World’s Fair. Mr. Daniel then introduced Mr. J. W. Pridmore, agronomist of the Barrett company who explained the Arcadian display. In this connection, he pointed out that this year, marks the 10th anni versary of American Independence of Foreign nitrate is a vital importance to our farming interest. He said that just 10 years ago the product of Arcadian nitrate, the American soda, was started and has since grown to be a vast Southern indus try. This Southern Industry has freed the American farmer from de pendence upon foreign sources for his nitrate of soda. American in every sense of the word, Mr. Pridmore stated all raw materials entered into this Arcadian soda come from American Industry, principally in the South; all its labor from our American homes. From Virginia, principally come coal and coke for power; from Louisiana comes the other raw material, soda-lime base. The big production plant is at Hopewell, 30 miles south of Rich- 'mond, on the James River, which af fords an opportunity of moving by boat both raw materials and the fin ished product to various ports. From these ports it is shipped inland by rail and truck to fertilizer manufac turers and dealers, from whom farm ers oan get an entire supply of ni trate of soda. The establishment of this domestic nitrate industry has brought many benefits to , southern farmers in the form of lower nitrate of soda costs and in the quality of the product and in the even weighing of bag. The industry has given the American farmer a wider market for the things they grow since the many employees engaged in the making of this Ameri can soda consume products of our farms and wear cotton clothes made from American cotton. The speak er pointed out that this is the only nitrate of soda made the producers of which consume the hams, and eggs, and milk, and butter and other things grown by Southern farmers. Recognition of the advantages from the use of this domestic soda is prob ably one of the reasons that to many farmers and others took such an in terest in the exhibit and turned out in such numbers to view the exhibits and of the New York World’s Fair, 1939 preview, on .wheels, which is touring the South at this time. m 25c Carter’s Little Liver Pills 17c 60c Bromo Seltzer 49c 60c Alka-Seltzer 49c 20Mic $1.00 Horlick’s Malted Milk 69c Ft.
