PAGE EIGHT THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1939 SPECTATOR (Continued from page four) spare. He will have an abundance of milk and butter, plenty of eggs and fifty hens. He will have vege tables and fruit, melons, cantaloupes, potatoes, hams, bacon, sausage etc. Anything impossible about this ? Remember the ark of gopher wood ? Well after the experiences of the last two weeks of July I thought it appropriate to read attentively the well known account in the seventh chapter of Genesis. Perhaps one of the most comforting of all assurances given to mankind is found at the very end of the eighth chapter. “While the earth remaineth, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” The rejection by the national House of Representatives of the 3-billion dollar lending bill of the President is a happy indication that Congress is capable of thinking for itself oc casionally. It means that Congress has recovered a measure of indepen dence and cannot always be driven into every fantastic scheme that can be devised to pour out public »noney. Governor Maybank is striking his Stride. He is proving his qualities as a business man and executive in many of his recent official acts. His intention to bring about a central purchasing arrangement for all the penal institutions is thoroughly fine and businesslike. The Governor’s purpose is armirable. Of course I know that central buying of itself is not a miracle-worker; those in charge must know more than merely to invite bids. Spectator ventures to offer a sug gestion to our capable Governor by way of cooperation. The suggestion is that the penal instititions invite all other state institutions to sit in a voluntary conference for cooperation and general benefit. Particularly would I recommend that Mr. H. T. Patterson, Treasurer of the State Hospital, be invited to sit with the Board when It considers bids for supplies. Mr. Patterson is generally regarded as a good buyer, as a man Who gets the fullest value for the public money he spends. The Governor may not have the authority to require the other insti tutions to send their buyers to a gen eral Council of State purchasing agents, but I am sure all would at tend at his invitation. The combin ed knowledge aid ability of such men as Mr. Patterson of the State Hos pital and Mr. Graham, jhe very com petent Bursar of Winthrop, would be worth a lot of money to the State. I don’t know who buys for the Citadel, but I’m sure General Summerall knows every item and the uttermost farthing paid for it. NOTICE Dr. E. G. Able will be out of town for several days. Upon his return he will limit his practice to surgery, office work and hospital obstreptics Automobile LOANS $50 TO $500 Let this Newberry own ed and operated Com pany finance your next Car.
