THE NEWBERRY SUN
JUST KIDS—And The Big Game Is Saturday • • By Ad Carter
Many Hogs Sold in Auction Mart
Three hundred and ninety hogs,
weighing a total of 82,300 pounds,
have been sold through the three co
operative shipments already held
here, bringing a total of §6,141.52 to
58 producers. The sales are held at
Helena and sponsored by the New
berry County Livestock association.
At each sale more sc'.all producers
are selling one or more hogs. Those
in charge of the sales are encouraged
to see this interest by small produc
ers since the main purpose of the
sales is to provide for the raiser of a
few animals, and who do not find it
practical to truck them to the pack
ing plants in distant cities.
The market is also a help to the
large producer. J. W. Abrams, one
of the largest hog producers in the
county states that he has averaged
35 points above the prices he would
have received had he trucked his an
imals to packing plants.
MINISTERS SUGGESTS BIBLE BE
TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS
CUIT CHAT
. flRMFlEU)
Interest last week centered in the
state fair and the annual Carolina-
Clemson classic. Newberrians ga
lore could be seen at the fair ’most
any day last week. Hardly a thing
was happening in the city until late
in the weekend when quite a stir
was created by the college home
coming event. And Newberry’s vic
tory in the game against Erskine
made the occasion a memorable one.
Large numbers of Newberry grads
returned to the city Saturday spend
ing the day visiting friends in town
and o n the campus. I don’t know who
started such a thing as college home
coming but it’s a grand idea.
Willingham Baby ; /
Joan Willingham is a newcomer to
Newberry making her arrival last
Saturday afternoon at the local hos
pital. Mamma and papa are Mr.
and Mrs. Keister Willingham of May
er avenue. Mrs. Willingham is the
former Miss Aurelia Watkins of
Chappells. Your soc. ed. phoned to
the hospital Monday afternoon to
learn all about the tot whose parents
are so well known here, and was
quite surprised to find that at that
late date the little girl had not been
given a name. Imagining the Wil
linghams were expecting a boy we
queried Keister who told us they had
figured out a dozen names for a boy
but none for a girl. We learn from
the nurses, however, that the new
daddy is just as pleased with Joan
as he would have been with twin
boys.
Christmas Tree
In spite of the fact that Christmas
is two months off the subject just
keeps creeping up. Various cities of
our state have already launched their
annual welfare campaigns for this
particular season. Newberry doesn’t
have a community chest but it’s sub
stitute, the Community Christmas
Tree, is most worthwhile. With a
small beginning only a few short
years ago the Tree has grown to a
large affair which makes possible
Christmas gifts for over 200 children
of our city and county hnd food for
many families. The Tree is spon
sored by the American Legion Aux
iliary and the Mothers club. Heading
the event this year will be Mrs. J.
D. French from the Mothers group
and Mrs. Holland Sligh, child wel
fare chairman of the Legion Auxil
iary. Such capable workers will
make the ’39 Christmas Tree bigger
than ever.
lArmistice?

notice from the yearbook he’s to
speak on Armistice. Just what the
Lutheran pastor will say on the sub
ject at this time is rather doubtful.
The world is thinking about every
thing except Armistice just now. The

four o’clock next Thursday. Associate

Chatter
The J. H. Wickers celebrated their
54th wedding anniversary last Sat
urday. Many friends called during
the day . . . It’s hard to imagine
movies without sound. Today’s pic
tures are certainly an improvement
over those of some ten years ago as
seen in the new picture “Hollywood
Cavalcade” which is an interesting
history of tl^ movie industry. It’s
a wonderful picture. Don’t fail to
see it . . . Much comment (favorable)
was heard about town on the feature
article appearing in last Saturday’s
State about Coach Wm. Laval . . .
Columbians applaud heartily when
anything appears on the movie
screen they like. Have you ever
noticed it’s not done in local theatres ?
Are we too dignified? I think it’s
rather nice. And what would be more
fun than joining in a community
sing? It just isn’t done here and if
you try to start it the entire aud
ience looks at you and wonders what
kind of a person the doorkeeper let
The Rev. C. J. Matthews of the
Smyrna Presbyterian church was the
guest speaker at the monthly meet
ing of the Newberry County Minis
terial association Monday morning at
Central Methodist church. His sub
ject was “The Bible Should Be
Taught in Our Public Schools.” Mr.
Matthews was a competent speaker
on the subject. He is instructor of
Bible at the Silverstreet and Bush
River schools, two of the few schools
of the State where the subject is
taught.
Following Mr. Matthews’ address, a
committee consisting of Dr. J. W.
Carson, Dr. F. O. Lamoreux, and
Mr. Matthews was appointed to look
into the possibility of introducing the
teaching of the Bible in all Newberry
county schools.
During the business session, pre
sided over by the Rev. B. F. Rodgers,
president of the association, the
members of the group who are pas
tors in the city agreed to change pul
pits one Sunday early in December.
