CELEBRATING ON 23RD
Many are celebrating two Thanks
givings this year. Bob Hope in his
Tuesday night radio broadcast said
he couldn’t decide whether to cele
brate Thanksgiving on the 23rd or the
30th with the Republicans. Keeping
up with the times and at the same
time remaining true Democrats,
South Carolinians have taken over
the new date, the 23rd. Practically
everything in the city will be closed
tomoirow, (Thursday). Newberry
college closes for the day. The pub
lic school closed Wednesday for the
rest of the week. All business firms
will be. closed and even the news
papoiS; are taking the day off. About'
the only people not holidaying will:
be the cooks. . • I

REVIEW
o/NEW BOOKS
Far outselling other novels of the
day is “Grapes of Wrath” by John
Sfei n beck, a story of, migrant, work-,
ers .in California, a place where, they
have been informed, there is plenty
of work to be had picking grapes and
oranges and peaches. Altho’ the no
vel deals mainly with one family, the
Joads, it is t,he story that applies
to hundreds who are searching for
work in Califbrpia. After many
trials and tribulations getting start
ed and on their journey the no-term-
ed “Okies” reach California only to
find .conditions worse (here jthan at
their former homes. There is work,
but the wage.s are far too low to
make ever) a half-decent Jiying. The
: would-be workers have no decent
place to live, and hungry mpst of the
time, and are treated like dogs, so
the novel tells. Thg conditions de
picted in the noyel are said tp be
mainly those of three years ago in
California.
Since the publication , | pf “The
Grapes of Wrath” Steinbpck has been
subject tp much comment. His book
has been called everything front “fil
thy vile propaganda” to “one of the
great human documents of our time.!’
Much of the protest to this best sel
ler comes from California and par
ticularly Kern , county of that state
• from readers who insist that Stein
beck’s book is a “djsitorted picture”
and a “filthy book.” The novel is ban
ned in, Bakersfield, California,
Undoubtedly John Steiribeck knew
]his subject well whfen he wrote “The
Grapes of Wrath,!’ The book is en
tirely different and most unusual in
its dialogue. The .phraseology is new
to people of . this 1 section. In every
other chapter'of the book the author
: turns aside from the narrative for a
•section of vivid description—describ
ing highways, or tractors, the hum
ble pleasure!! of the migrant people,
spring in California, cotton picking,
the sad plight of homeless,, tired, sick
people. These! inbetween' chapters
ate fine reading for their unusual
method of describing .something aside
from the story and yet tied in with
it. The story of the Joads comes to ;
a very abrupt ending.
Darryl Zanuck, chief producer at
20th Century-Fox, has bought the no
vel to make a moving picture which
will star Henry Fonda.
In the past ten years, John Stein
beck has had published six novels, a
play, and a voloume of short stories
with probably the most outstanding
of these his novel and play, “Of Men
and Mice.” “The Grapes of Wrath”
is his first long novel. The book is
on sale in Newbery at Hal Kohn’s.
COUNTY-WIDE MEETING
FOR FARMERS IS CALLED
In order that farmers may be
come more familiar with the chang
ing 1940 outlook of agriculture and
the general economic condition due
to the war, Newberry county agents

ers’ meeting at the Junior high school
auditorium Monday, November 27, at
2:30 p. m. This meeting is also for
the purpose of discussing the 1940
marketing quota referendum and ex
plaining in detail additional benefits'
that may be derived from the 1940
Farm Program.
Well informed specialists from the
State Extension Service will be pre
sent to assist with this meeting.

TODAY & TOMORROW
(Continued from page one)
Others saw the value of that sort
of frankness, and a new profession
was born, that of “Public Relations
Counselor.” Men with that title
differ from press agents mainly that
they work harder and get more
money. One of them told me once
that his greatest difficulty was in
getting his employers to tell him the
truth so that he could pass it on to
the papers. The top men in that pro
fession have such a reputation for
square dealing and truthfulness that
the newspapers take their word with
out question.
CHAINS example
One of the topics on which much
publicity material comes in my mail
is that of chain stores. When it
comes from public relations organi
zations of standing I accept their
statements of fact. Therefore it in
terested me, and seems worth pass
ing on, to learn that the housewives
of America are throwing more and
more of their patronage to the chain
stores, for economy’s sake.
In the first nine months of this
year, the 29 leading grocery, variety,
shoe, apparel and auto supply chains
did 10 percent more business than
last year, while the independent
stores in the same lines gained only
about 6 percent, according to De
partment of Commerce reports.
One thing that turned public at
tention to the chain stores was the
publicity campaign begun last year
to comodt! legislative , epofts to im
pose rumoiis! taxes on all kip.ds of
chains. That started millions of
housewives to throw their trade to
the chains, when they began to learn
the truth about their price-saving
methods, and to realize that they
would have to pay more if the chains
were taxed out of business. That’s
the press agent’s story, at least, and
I believe him.
