. .^(johjirnCe Armfield
A recent social event taking place
in Columbia of interest to Newber-
rians, both of the city and county,
was the marriage of Miss Nellie
Ruff and Teddy Dominick, both of
Columbia, and both formerly of this
county. The event took place Sun

Mrs. Caldwell Ruff of the St. Philips
section and is a trained nurse in Co
lumbia. Mr. Dominick is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. G. E Dominick of Pros
perity and the only brother of Post
master George K. Dominick of the
city. He is cashier of the transpor
tation division of the South Caro
lina Gas and Electric company.
For Bride-Elect
Just as we said some time ago,
Edna Johnson is one of the most
popular brides-elect of the season.
Since the announcement of her en
gagement last June to Howard
Kirkegard of Liberty, hardly a week
has passed without parties being
given in her honor and still they
continue' with a host of them being
planned for the next three weeks.
Edna is to be married Saturday, Sep
tember 2, at her home on Boundary
street. Entertaining for her at a
hearts party last Friday afternoon
were Mrs. Derrill Smith and daugh
ters, Lucy and Julia, at their Main
street home. Mixed garden flowers
decorated the rooms where five tables
were arranged for the games. The
bride-elect’s place was designated
with a beautiful coorsage. The prize
at hearts went to Mrs. William Part
ridge and the hostesses presented
Edna a lovely luncheon cloth. Salad
was served after the games. Out-
of-town guests included Miss Fannie
Clark and Miss Evelyn Summer,
both of Monroe, Ga. Edna was
again honored at a party given yes
terday (Wednesday) afternoon by
Mrs. William Tedford and Mrs. W.
O. Miller at the former’s home, Park
View Court.
Luncheon at Jefferson
Mrs. Ed McCrackin of the city and
Miss Martha Harmon of Prosperity
entertained at a lovely luncheon at
the Jefferson Hotel in Columbia
Wednesday complimenting Miss Mar
garet Cornwell of Chester whose
marriage to Leopold Laney of Bish-
opville takes place Thursday, August
24. The luncheon was attended by
intimate friends of the bride-elect
of Columbia. Miss Cornwall attend
ed the University of South Carolina.
Both Mrs. McCrackin and Miss Har
mon are to be attendants in the
Cornwall-Laney wedding. They have
been present at several parties in
Chester honoring the brio,.-elect of
next week. |
An Open Letter
To Millen, Georgia: Moving to
your fair city this week is a young
gentleman we will always claim to
be a Newberrian, tho’ this isn’t his
real home. In fact he has only been
here about four years, but because
of his winning ways, his friendliness,
his grand personality, his helpfulness,
and his consistent thoughtfulness, he
has as many real friends here as
most of our life-long citizens. He
has been connected with one of the
OCC camps as educational director,
and comes to a camp in your vicinity
in the same position. But that wasn’t
his only work at the camp. Each
year he arranged an interesting open
house program and graciously invited
the citizens of our city and county
to inspect the camp. He put on
many dances at the camp that were
attended and enjoyed by town folk.
He had charge of the worship ser
vice at the camp and possibly many
other things we know little or no
thing about. But we knew him.
mainly for his active interest in our
city’s affairs, both civic and social.
We recently celebrated our Sesqui-
centennial year and he did loads of
work toward its success. Whenever
called upon for any service about
town he was most willing to do his
part and then some. He was a
prominent member of the Eagles
Club, social organization for the
young men of the city, and always
assisted in making the Eagle dances
popular and successful social events.
As a member of the Country Club he
was a handy “committee man,” being
called on to help in practically every
event held there and showing real
talent when it came to fancy dec
orating. As you can imagine, ww
hate, beyond words, that he has to
leave here. Our loss is certainly
your gain. The gentleman’s name?
Oh, yes. It’s Dave Blackwell.
To The Fair
It’s impossible to sit down to a
typewriter to write news without
knocking out the words “to the fair.”
They just keep going. Mr. and Mrs.
D. V. Knight of 2101 Drayton street
and Mrs Charlie Woodruff of Whit
mire left Saturday for New York
city by way of Charlotte, N. C. They
visited Washington and then the
Fair...Thad McCrackin, Jr., now
working in Winnsboro, with a group
of friends, left this week for a most
interesting trip with the Fair as the
reason for a grand tour all around
in the northern states. Other places
they will visit include the coast of
Maine, a trip into Canada, over to
Yellowstone National Park, then in
to Chicago heading back hoirte.

Author of Sister Mary'i Kitchen
Summer diet presents a very defi
nite problem in balance to conscien
tious home-makers. Too many heavy
foods are distasteful if not absolute
ly harmful, while light foods con
stantly served become insipid and
tiresome.
So, in order to find a happy me
dium between the too hearty and the
too dainty we turn to salads.
.Summer salads, more often than
not, fill dual roles. The fish and
meat salad course does duty for both
salad and dessert.
In planning salad meals, choose
your salad first and build your menu
around it. Such meals are bound to
be well balanced and interesting.
Since the salad-dessert invariably
is a fruit combination it’s better not
to make the first course a fruit. Jel
lied boullion, chilled vegetable juice
cocktails, appetizers such as sardines
and highly seasoned stuffed eggs
make splendid first courses for this
type of meal.
I found a delightful old pressed-tin
mold in an antique shop the other day
that I filled with this jellied fish sa
lad. The mold has a lovely fish curl
ed around its edge with a variety of
sea shels arranged in the center.
Fish and Cucumber Salad
Two tablespoons plain gelatine,
1 1-2 cups consomme (canned or made
with cubes or extracts, 1 cup water,
4 tablespoons tamato catsup, 4 table
spoons lemon juice, 1-2 teaspoon on
ion juice, 2 tearpoons Worchester-
shire sauce, 1 pound salmon (freshly
boiled or canned), 2 teaspoons ancho
vy paste (optional but good), 2 large
cucumbers.
Soften gelatine in 4 tablespoons
cold water. Heat consomme, water,
catsup and lemon juice to scalding
point (not boiling) and stir into gela
tine which has been liquified over
sot water. Stir until thoroughly
mixed and add onion juice, Worches-
tershire sauce and anchovy paste. Let
stand until cool and beginning to jell.
Break salmon into coarse flakes,
removing bones and skin. Peel cu
cumbers and cut in quarters length
wise. Scrape out coarse seeds and
dice. Mix fish and cucumber and
fold into jellying mixture. Turn in
to a mold and put in refrigerator to
chill and become firm. Unmold on a
bed of shredded mixed salad greens,
seasoned with French dressing, and
serve with mayonnaise.
You can use any kind of fish you
prefer. Crab flakes, shrimp, lobster,
or a mixture of the three adding sal
mon, too, makes a delicious salad.

CAPE SLEEVES
Cape sleeves feel so delightfully
cool on torrid days— and the way
they blow and flutter makes you
look cool and graceful.
This charming dre*! (8540) has
everything else yo i like, too—a pan
eled, long-line skirt, a bodice bloused
the merest trifle and shirred onto
shoulder portions, so that it fits per
fectly, with no tightness and no bulki
ness, over the bust.
And it has a cool, deep v-neckline,
finished with a narrow roll collar. A
oeautifully simple, well-bred design—
practically guaranteed to subtract
pounds from your appearance.
Chiffon, georgette, voile, and pure
dye silk will look lovely made up
this way.
Pattern 8544—Hi-Ho, mothers of
lively boys! The Texas Ranger, com
plete from hat to lariat, in a colored
transfer pattern that’s easy to im
print on the bib or pocket of this
comfortable, mannish overall!
The overall is cut on common sense
lines so that it’s as easy to wear as
nothing at all, just right for tree
climbing, ball-playing, and general
rassling round! Equally practical is
the short-sleeved play shirt.
But of course if there’s a two-to-
eight lad in your family, the Ranger
decoration will dwarf all other vir
tues of this design (8544) in his eyes
Denim, gabardine, broadcloth and

I TOOK BRIDGE
FLIGHT 1939
I have just flown from the Atlan
tic to the Pacific between two days.
I took a plane at New York airport
at 5:45 Sunday evening and landed
in San Francisco at 9 o’clock Monday
morning. It was as comfortable as
riding in a pullman car. I flew in a
“sleeper” plane, with regular berths
like those on the railroad. It cost
almost exactly what the railroads
charge for first-class accommodations
on their crack transcontinental trains.
I had not flown for five or six
years, and was amazed at the im
provements since my last flight. Our
average speed in the air was three
miles a minute. We flew at a height
of 10,000 feet, almost two miles, above
the earth. We came down at Chica
go and Salt Lake to take on gasoline,
but otherwise were in the air the
whole distance between the oceans.
The thought which came to my
mind many times as we flew was the
Biblical line, that God has made man
a little lower than the angels. One
who believes in the Divine spirit
guiding human thougiht and action
could not help feeling that Man’s con
quest has been made possible by in
spiration from on high.

Orient Represented at MRA Meet
TREASURE ISLAND . . . Among delegates from countries of the Orient,
gathered at the meeting of the Moral Re-Armament conference at the
Golden Gate International Exposition are, left to right:' Phoenix Klang;
L. P. Liu; Ma Nyein Tha; Leatrice Huang; Peter Tsai; James Tong.
Everybody knows that the higher
up one goes the less oxygen there is
in the air. As an elderly man with a
tricky heart, I asked my doctor about
the risk before I started this long
flight. He had madi the same flight
himself, and told me that if I got
short of breath the stewardess on the
plane would give me some oxygen
to breathe.
Sure enough, crossing the Alle-
gheni’s, we had to rise to 13,500 feet
to get over a thick mass of storm-
clouds. Every one of the forty pas
sengers was given a tube through
which to inhale extra oxygen from a
big tank of the life-giving gas, and
none experienced the slightest dis
comfort.
An air-line pilot who was riding as
a passenger told me that the new big
planes now being built will have oxy
gen supplied in the proper proportion,
so that flights can be made at 20,000
feet elevation at four miles a min
ute, and the air will be just like we
breathe at sea level.
PILOTS ...... training
From my flying shipmate, the
transport pilot flying home from a
vacation, I learned a lot about the men
who navigate the great passenger
craft of the air. They are young,
but they are far from being “kids.”
It takes nine years from the begin
ning of training to qualify a pilot to
command a big airliner, as long as
it does to qualify to practice medi
cine.
First, before he can be admitted to
an Army or Navy flying school, he
must have had at least two years at
a university. All the commercial pi
lots are Army or Navy or Marine re
serve officers. It takes four years of
intensive training for the ambitious
young man to get his “wings” from
the Government. That qualifies him
to fly a military plane, but not for a
commercial plane where other
people’s lives besides his own are at
stake.
He has to work as an assistant or
co-pilot, perhaps for three or four
years, before he is intrusted with
mail flights on short and easy routes.
Then when he has mastered the
science and art of navigating entire
ly by instruments, and otherwise
proved himself qualified, he may get
command of a trans-continental or a
trans-oceanic ulane.
STEWARDESSES . . . helpful
Almost as important as the pilot
and co-pilot on the cross-country
passenger planes is the stewardess,
the capable young woman whose job
is to prepare and serve meals to pas
sengers, look after them if they are
“air-sick,” and in general to see to it
that they are comfortable. The girls
who get these jobs usually stay on
them less than two years. By that
time they have married either a pi
lot or a co-pilot or some passenger
they have met. Most of them marry
men in the air service.
Every stewardess must be a regis
tered nurse. That means she has a
good education and has served three
years or more in hospital training.
She must pass rigid tests as to char
acter, poise, personality, and physi
cal condition. To be a stewardess she
must be not more than 5 feet 5 inches
tall and weigh no more than 125
pounds. Weight and height count for
something in flying.
I have seldom met two more intel
ligent, well-balanced young women
than the two stewardesses with whom
I flew across the country, one from
New York to Chicago, the other from
Chicago to the Coast.
PICTURE America
There is only one way to get a
real picture of America. That is to
see it from the air. The impression
I got was that there are immense un
settled areas, even in the thickly-
settled states of Pennsylvania and
Ohio over which we flew before night
fell. The West is even more thinly!
settled. J
From Salt Lake, where we stopped
at dawn, on to the Coast, over the
high plateaus west of the Rocky
Mountains, and across the Sierras,
there was an appalling picture ol
barren mountains as bare of vegeta
tion as the coasts of Spain, with oc
casional fertile valleys hidden amid
their depths. Not until we got into
California did I see anything from
the air that suggested possible pros
perity n the creation of wealth from
the soil.
Once we had crossed Lake Tahoe
and began to slip downward into the
Sacramento Valley, however, it was
easy to see why Californians regard
their land as God’s country. It is
green and lovely land facing the blue
Pacific, kept fertile by the rains and
fogs sweeping in from the ocean.

problem, that tomatoes—while they
are fruit botanically speaking—are
vegetables in the language of com
mon usage.
However, a tomato by any classifi
cation is valuable in the diet. It al
most runs the gamut of the vitamin
alphabet. According to the nutri
tionists, one medium-sized, ripe, red
tomato will furnish about half of a
day’s requirement for ascorbic acid
or vitamin C—and about one-fifth of
the vitamin A needs for a day. In
addition, it will contribute some vita
min B, vitamin G, and the pellagra
preventive vitamin.
Any woman who puts up part of
canning tomatoes as ju : ce will be con
gratulating herself next winter. To
mato juice is a refreshing, nutritious
appetizer. In fact, one cup of it
fairly thick with pulp will furnish all
the day’s requirement for vitamin C.
Tomatoes as juice are in the most
convenient form for making aspics—
as well as many other tomato-flavor
ed dishes. And put u, without any
salt—it will fit into diets of infants.

A Cinderella among vegetables a
century ago—now one of the most im
portant of the truck crops grown in
the United States. That is the success
of the tomato as told by the Bureau
of Home Economics, Washington, D.
C.
There are several good reasons that
the tomato enjoys dietetic prestige
today. One is that it passes all taste
with its matchless flavor. It scores
again on food value, because it is an
inexpensive source of necessary vita
min C. And it has eye apeal with the
bright “tomato red” of its coloring.
In fact, so eye appealing was it to
some 17th century Englismen that
they grew the tomato purely for its
ornamental value.
Originally the tomato came from
tropical America. Since then it has
knocked about considerably. To gain
recognition as. a food, it had to go to
Europe. In 1893, it appeared before
the Supreme Court of the United
States. On that occasion, the highest
court of the land handed down the
