' FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1939 THE SUN FIVE Society notes \ CHIT CHAT . .'Y , COHJiaNCE A^MFIEU) i f The flags are down, the bands have sloped playing, the show is over, and we again settle down to everyday matters after weeks of preparation for and a week of gala celebration •of the 150th birthday of Newberry. There was lots oi hard work on the part of many in connection with the Sesqui, but it was all real fun. I don’t believe anything ever put on in Newberry in previous times has been as near as successful as the Sesqui celebration. Everyone was de lighted with results and admitted it was all one grand show. As someone said, it ought to have been good, it took us 150 years to get ready for it. Literally, plans were made only a few weeks beforehand. It shows what Newberrians can do if they want to do something bad enough. How nice it would be if we could have a similar celebration each year —a petunia festival or the like. The most outstanding event of last week’s activities was probably the pageant. Newberrians and visitors found the performances far beyond expecta tions. A Greenwood spectator re marked that the pageant was really a credit to Newberry and such favor able comments were heard from every side. The performances and the scen ery were splendid, but the music by the group of singers 1 directed by Paul Ensrud and the selections by the Newiberry Concert Band simply “made the pageant." The songs and band numbers were so appropriate that one could, by the music alone, picture in imagination just what was supposed to take place in each scene. We would like to hand a couple of carnations to Mr. Ensrud and 1 Mr. Pruitt. In the opinion of your colum nist who somehow, in the rush, man aged to get around to practically every event of the week, Sesqui cele- brators had more real fun at the Fri day evening good old-fashioned square dance than at any other gath ering. The dance was held in the Legion Hall and practically every body was there. .The hall was jam med for a while. Wilson Brown, who was a member of the wedding party in the pageant, came to the dance wearing his colonial costume and looking most dashing, seemed to en joy himself immensely. John Peter son was also on hand showing how the real square dance should be done and telling that he had rather dance than do anything else in his younger days. Hugh Shannon assisted in call ing the dance and did a swell job of it with results of losing his voice for a day or two. Johnnie Norris and Elizabeth Kinard were among the numbers present, only spectating, however. Mrs. Steve Griffith was dancing in her pageant costume, a lovely pink and white tafetta gown with hoop skirt. Ob the floor could he seen Red Shirts, Indians, Jackies, Quakers, Pioneers and even Jitter bugs, The most colorful event of the Sesqui was probably the grand Coronation Ball so capably put over by the Eagles club. The “biggest” thing of the week was the Wednesday afternoon parade that drew more peo ple to the “City of Friendly Folks” than have been here in many a sea- 1 One of the “nicest” things of last week was the weather. But all In all. every activity was perfectly awetl jad such would not have been the ca** had there not been many {hard-workers behind the scenes. In passing out a few more carnations Clarence T. Summer - - On Your Next Paint Job TRY Athyes R. M. LOMINACK Hardware we would like to hand one to George Dominick, Pete Coleman, and Dave Blackwell. These three weren’t in the limelight so much, but they really did the work, giving willingly of their time. And there would be others on our carnation list—so many in fact, we would drain the supply of the local florists. Now that the gay festivities of the Sesqui-Centen- nial week are over, we’re trying to catch our breath and catch some much-needed sleep. Hospital Day The next thing on schedule for Newberrians to turn thoughts to is National Hospital Day on Friday of this week at which time the Newberry County hospital will hold open house. This is an annual affair,May 12 being chosen as being especially appropri ate because it is the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightengale. Open house at the local hospital is to be sponsored by the hospital aux iliary of which Mrs. H. B. Senn is president The day’s program will be arranged by Mrs. T. H. Pope, Mrs. A. T. Neely, and Miss Fannie Mae Carwile, the auxiiary’s entertain ment committee You are invited to visit your hospital on Friday, May 12, between the afternoon hours of two and five. Visit Here As expected, the Sesqui celebra tion last week brought many, many visitors to the city. Some came for the week, some for a few days, while others from nearby tow 118 came over for a few hours. Visiting Miss Ethel Jones for the week was her sister, Mrs. T. A. Scarborough, of Columbia ...With Dr. and Mrs. James C. Ki nard on College street were Miss Al ice Mazyck of Charleston and Mrs. Rena Kinard of Denmark.. .Miss Blondine Williams of Columbia was here for the weekend with Miss Mary Blackwell.. .Smiley Porter of Wag ner wes here a while last week... From Saluda came Bill gargle to take in the passant. Chatter The interesting relics of days-gone- by displayed in Carpenter’* windows last week were most unique. Crowds of gazers could be seen about the windows day or night and such In terest displayed In the collection, ac cording to Mrs. Carpenter, shows that it would pay to have a museum in Newberry. And we’re inclined to agree with her. ..Governor Burnet R. Maybank and Mrs. Maybank seem to have enjoyed their rather full day in Newberry last Thursday. After speaking, teaing, dining and sight seeing all day, Governor and Mrs. Maybank took in the Tuesday evening performance of the pageant at the municipal stadium. Sitting with them at the stadium were Mrs. Herman Wright, Mrs. Robert Wright, and Mrs. E. G. Able. The distinguished Columbia visitors appeared to enjoy the pageant immensely, applauding loudly after each episode. The Gov ernor especially enjoyed Narrator Dude Epting's “wisecracks". . .The May Day exercises at the college Friday afternoon were the best even given here. The costumes were loyely and Queen Elizabeth Mower was beautiful in her white net gown made \ in queenly style. The Newberry High school should observe May Day exercises each year, too.. .Thoughts are already turning to graduation exercises at the high school and col lege. The students are beginning re views and exams. Junior-Senior ban quets and receptions are also in the air. This annual gala social affair at the college is Friday evening of this week...Building fever is in the air. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. French have a house going UP on Walnut street. Just next to them the W“" liam Hunters will soon be building. Across the street on a lovely lot will be a brick bungalow before so many months erected by Auditor Pink Ab rams.. .Frances Walace, who made such a lovely queen for our Sesqui celebration, wishes the celebration were just beginning. She did get rather tired, she admitted, but it was s 0 much fun she is ready to go through it again. BROADCAST PROGRAM In connection with the observance of Poppy Day, the local unit of the American Legion Auxiliary presented a program over WIS in Columbia Monday morning. Mrs. B. V. Chapman, publicity chairman of the local Poppy Day drive, was presiding over the pro gram. Two musical selections were given by Mrs. P. K. Harmon, soloist, with Mrs. J. P. Moon at the piano. A talk was made by Mrs. L. G. McCullough, state head of this year’s poppy sales. COLLEGE MAY DAY EVENT DRAWS LARGE CROWD Hundreds of Newberrians and visit ors gathered on the Newberry col lege campus last Friday afternoon at 5:30 to see Miss Elizabeth Mower, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. McH&rdy Mower of this city, and a senior at the college, crowned Queen of the May. The May Day program is an annual event of the college. The section of the campus to the left in front of the men’s dormitory was used for the erercises. The throne was elaborately decorated in green and white tulle and with baskets of white spring flowers. In the center of the grounds stood the May pole cov ered with daisy chains. Small yellow and green flags were used on top of the pole and streamers of yellow and green extended from the top to the ground. The College “N” Orchestra with Harry Feld directing furnished music for the dances as well as musical in terludes. T. E. Epting was narrator and the beautiful gowns of the queen’s maids were designed by Mrs. E. A. Carpenter. After an overture, “Entrance and March of Peers” (Sullivan), by the Orchestra, the heralds, Frances Hen derson and Madeline Shearouse, an nounced the arrival of the queen’s court. The smaller children in the court were Muriel Feld, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Feld, crown bear er; Harriet Mayer Reid, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Reid and Kate Stewart Rutherford, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald Rutherford, flower girls; Joan Segar Dominick and Doris Segar Dominick, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Dominick, train bearers.

The maids of the queen’s court were Misses Joyce Wingard, Frances Baxter, Elizabeth Bischoff, Dorothy Wheeler, Marion Donahoe, Ruth Haigler, Evelyn McCrackin, Evelyn Cromer, Harriet Harden, Virginia Gaetjens, Jewell Schaffer Ruth Monts, Catherine Collins and Mar garet Franklin. Their dresses of va rious shades were made the same style—full net skirts and tafetta waists of a darker shade. They wore picture hat to match their dresses and carried baskets of flowers. Miss Elizabeth Propesi was maid of honor. She wore a blue net gown with pink ribbons, a blue hat, and carried a loyely bouquet of pink and blue flowers. Miss Mower made a lovely picture in hejr queenly white net dress. The dress worn ovpr a white satin slip had a full skirt and long sleeves puff ed at the shoqlder. Her train was white satin and she carried an arm bouquet of white carnations tied with white ribbons. When the procession of the court had reached the throne, President James C. Kinard placed the crown on Miss Mower. Following a program was given for the entertainment of the qivien and her court. The pro gram featured four dances, each re presenting a season of the year. The May pole dance was given first. This number was led and di rected by Miss Caroline Mayes, col lege student. The dancers wore green net gowns decorated with daisies and daisies in their hair. They performed their dance barefooted around the yellow and green decorated pole. The Balloon Dance followed, re presenting the summer season. Cos tumes were white net decorated with circle of celophane. The dancers had baloonS tied to each arm. After an Interlude by the Orches tra, the Harvest Dance fop the au tumn was given by students wearing long brown dresses to which were atr tached lovely hand-painted leaves. They wore necklesses and bracelets made of nuts. The winter presentation was the Dane of the Wooden Soldiers. The girls in this number wore white slacks trimmed in red, red coats, red shiny hats with white tassels—a very mili tary looking effect. They ended their “parade” forming an “N”. Concluding the program all four groups of dancers re-appeapef! form an attractive tableaux and sang the Alma Mater. Immediately following the May Day exercises a reception on 111® Smeltzer Hall terrace was given.

HOUSE ound HOME £DocpdA Author ef Si.ttf KHch«r When flower boxes are carefully planned and planted they may be used profitably in connection with any architectural feature whether it be in sunshine or shadow. Although the grounds about one’s house may be most suitable for the planting of flowers anl shrubs, the architectural features of the build ing may offer such opportunities for the use of flower boxes that the at tractiveness of the whole place is greatly enhanced. Where space is at a premium, as in very small city gardens, com binations of flower boxes and pots often solve the problem of furnish ing coitr and foliage to relieve tee monotony of walls and pavements. Since flower boxes are exposed to the weather and often are subject ed to extreme periods- of being very wet and completely dried out, they should be well constructed. Make wooden boxes of well-seasoned lum ber which has been thoroughly paint ed on all sides before the parts are- put together. A metal lining will prolong the life of the box. Instead of permanently lining the- box, a removable metal contained is convenient. This permits the quick substitution of a duplicate one con taining thriving plants whenever necessary. Of course, this insures a constant succession of bloem if you are using bo^es for color. Drainage is very important in all window boxes a«d should be handled in the usual way by using a layer of course gravel or broken crockery- in the bottom of the container. In addition to this, both box and con tainer should have holes bored through the bottom. Obviously, the holes in the container should fit the- holes :n the box. - rt- If you want to attract bluebirds to your grounds, plant some bar berry tevtefea- Bluebirds love thei scarlet berries and the shrubs wiH da well in sun or shade.
