FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1939 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE SEVEN Sunday School tLALbOin Rtv. CHARLES E. DUNN! Spreading the Good News. . Lesson for December 3: .Matthew 10:24-39. Golden Text: Revelation 22:17. Jesus had chosen twelve disciples, and the lesson tells how he talked with them about their work. They should so strive to be like him that men would see the resemblance. If they should have to share in the abuse he sufTered, they must not be afraid. The Father, who marks the sparrow’s fall and numbers the very hairs of their heads, would take care of them. The statement of Jesus that he had not come to send peace on earth may seem strange now when war-lords are turning the nations into the shambles of their sons. But Jesus referred to the uncompromising warfare that must be waged between good and evil, even though it separates a man from those of his own household. Follow ing him, the disciples were to bear their own crosses until they should lay them by to put on their crowns. Present disciples of Jesus must in terpret the statements of the Master in the light of their own needs and difficulties in spreading the good news. There is no danger of death, but they face the alien influences of the world. The line of demarcation jnust be plain. Like the disciples of old, they must deny themselves—their own right to do as they please with their lives— and give themselves gladly to the mastery of Jesus. But in denying themselves, they will save themselves forevermore. The poet finds that God has writ ten on the face of Palestine the great truth that “giving is life, withholding is death.” Galilee gives what it re ceives “with glad, unsparing hand,” and is the scene of life and health, while the dismal sea to the south keeps what it receives “nor gives to shore nor sea beside.” “And its aw ful name doth ever proclaim that sea is Dead.” Among the Colored (Written for The Sun) The county teachers association meeting was held in the auditorium of Drayton Street school Friday af ternoon, November 11 with a good attendance. Following a prelude the program opened with singing of “America”' and praying together of the Lord’s prayer. Opening remarks were made by the president of the association, Prof. H. B. Rikard. He pledged his ser vice for the good of the association and asked for cooperation of all in order that the programs will be a greater benefit for the teachers and pupils. The teachers then organized into various departments with the fol lowing leaders: principals, Prof. A. T. Butler; high school, Prof. C. E. Schumpert; intermediate, Prof. B. W. Bradley; primary, Roberta Middleton. Our guest speakers included Prof essor C. E. Hendrix, who stressed the importance of the teachers at tending all the meetings and keeping an accurate report daily; Mrs. Mae Aull who explained the census and attendance blanks to be used this term; and Mrs. J. H. Summer, NYA Supervisor and Red Cross chairman, who spoke of the help of the Red Cross in this county. Mrs. Summer also offered a $10 prize to the color ed school of the county that reported the highest amount of Red Cross money to its enrollment.

First comes your choice of plant. Remember that the majority of flowering plants have but one blooming period each year. The beautiful specimen you buy at the florist’s shop was taken months ago by the gardener, cared for and sti mulated until it is in full bloom. The gardener has controlled the conditions of the soil, temperature and moisture regularly and system atically, and has undoubtedly told the florist all about the care necessary to keep his stock fresh and healthy in the shop. Ask the florist about watering, temperature and light. If the plant is to be repotted, the important point to keep in mind is adequate drainage. The clay pot with bottom drainage hole should be set o n a surface that permits a certain amount of air to circulate under the pot. A saucef filled with small pebbles or coarse ashes can be placed under the pot That prevents the plant from stand ing in stagnant water. If the plant is placed in its pot in a jardiniere, this should be large enough to allow some circulation of air around the pot. Standing water should be removed daily. A plant potted in a non-porous container without a bottom opening should have a good inch of drainage material at the bottom. Large peb bles, broken bits of pottery, or good sized marbles are good for this pur pose. If you are sending a plant to a friend who is not a “garden clubber,” it’s a good idea to enclose simple suggestions regarding its care. Should it be watered from the bottom, does it like lots of sun? How much wa ter does it need? Should it be kept in the coolest spot in the house? These answers will prolong the plea sure your friend has with your gift. FOR RENT—Furnished bedrooms, or unfurnished apartment, convenient to business section. Miss Sue Jones, 1100 Johnstone Street.

FORMER NEWBERRY EDITOR (Continued from page two) We have in the professional group some men of transcendent ability as teachers. They, like common school teachers of that type, are beyond all price. No man can evaluate the worth of Dr. Carlisle or Henry N. Snyder. Who can estimate the con tribution of John G. Clinkscales or D. W. Daniel? And the late Dr. Po- teat! Hundreds of men and women in towns and rural districts are the real builders of tomorrow. They are underpaid in dolars, I know; but can we say that of the majority? Only because a sort of vanity and educa tional pretension on our part makes us wish to appear very “progressive,” in all the loose acceptation nowadays of that term. Here, I submit, is where we can bring about our saving. Study, in vestigate, examine, survey, appraise— or call it What you like—every public service and lop off dead wood, green wood and unnecessary limbs, branches and twigs. Ask yourself this question: Do we need such-and-such an institution? If so, do we need each one of the branches? Are we building according to any plan ?; or are we throwing things together? Are these things in a fair relation to the earnings of our people? Are we so organized and so geared that we can get the maxi mum results from our efforts? Are we devoting our major study to the earner and owner who must pay the taxes, or to the spender who shows us the Promised Land? Every sort of business, from Rail Reading to retail bread-selling, has studied itself intensively and worked out plans for doing more for less money, except government. In State and County and municipal govern ment in South Carolina we have that problem. Many counties have re-ad justed themselves and their Senators tell about it with just pride; why can’t someone feel responsible f r the State? I submit that 25 per cent can be cut off and all our services be brought to a higher state of efficiency. I don’t begin by reducing salaries; let us, rather, eliminate some salaries. The great temptation of Democracy is to make the public payroll the re fuge of lame-ducks, friends, syco phants, and hangers-on. Let’s wake up! l&J Pretty and petite Mary Waites Lumpkin who becomes the bride of Tom Pope early in the new year. Young folks of cultural background, their marriage unites two of South Carolina’s oldest and finest families. Mary Waites is a daughter of Judge and Mrs. Alva Lumpkin of Columbia. THE DOCTOR 1 If WE AUG/UNMUGHMD DOGS The mostf unselfish friend in this selfish world—the one that never deserts a man and never proves un grateful or treacherous—is a dog. I think it was that sage and philoso pher, Voltaire, who said, “The best thing about a man is his dog.” My old and good friend, Albert Payson Terhune, the dog fancier, who has written much about these good friends of the human race, in sists that dogs are “four-footed gentlemen,” and man’s most accept able companion. As a dog lover I agree with all these sentiments, but as physici.|n, there is another side to the picture, which I am forced to observe. Dogs do carry disease, and the very fact that they are so close to man makes them all the more dan gerous, For that reason, their mas ters should attendi them proparly, and watch them closely. Dogs can infect man with a form of mange, with a species of tape worm which may cause cysts, and with a less dangerous type of the same worm which can prostrate one. They carry fleas unless kept clean by frequent 1>aths, and these insects frequently are the cause of epi demics, such as the bubonic plague. Dogs should not be encouraged in any affectionate demonstrations such as licking the hands and face of their owners. Rabies or hydrophobia is a most dangerous disease which dogs can convey to human beings, and the mor tality rate is exactly 100 percent. I have never known a case to recowr, unless immediately treated with the Pasteur serum which was discovered in 1884 by the French savant of that name. Dogs are responsible for 85 per cent of the hydrophobia cases; wolves, through bitten dogs, cattle and men, for 14 per cent, and cats for 1 per cent. The germs after entering the body ultimately reach the brain, causing convulsions and death, usually in from three to five days. As a rule paralysis precedes death. I once traveled in a first class compartment on a train from Bombay to Lanowli, where the Indian Government main tained a Pasteur Institute. My only companion was a British army officer, who said to me, after we were locked in for the night, “Old chap,” you know I was bitten by a wolf while hunting an am go ing to the institute for the Pasteur treatment. I feel a bit queer, and if I start to act strange do not shoot me, but see that I get to the hospi tal.” He did act queer, in that he was very nervous, so I remained awake all night watching him, not knowing what to expect, but I delivered him safely in the morning. He ultimately recovered, due to the work of Pasteur, whom the v/orld never sufficiently appreciated for what he did for his fellow men. OTHER TOURING TRIPS MAY BE PLANNED BY CHAMBER In an interview concerning the re cent visits to the cotton mills, which were sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, Superintendent Jesse Y. Jones of the Newberry Cotton mills stated that his mill was very glad to cooperate with the Chamber of Com merce in showing so many people through their plant. He continued by saying that he thinks it an ex cellent idea to let the people of our city and county see how their cotton is made into cloth. D. O. Carpenter, manager of the Oakland branch of Kendall mills told the reporter, “We were very much pleased with the results of the visit ors. We had at Oakland 510 guests. However, I’m a little disappointed that more of the business men did not take this opportunity to see the improvements that have been made in the mill over the past few years.” Wilton Todd of the large Mollohon branch of Kendall mills was also a gracious host to many callers to his plant. He said he was glad to see so many desiring to see the operation of the plant and especially the large number of adults that called during the evening hours of open house. The cotton mill tours and the one of the Enoree reforest project have awakened interest of the people of Newberry county to see more of our manufacturing plants and requests have been made to the Chamber of Commerce to arrange a visit to one of our dairies, a flour mill, cotton oil mill, and quarry. These probably will be arranged ik the near future and if there are other points of inter est which the public would like to be invited to see, they are asked to let the Chamber of Commerce know of their wishes.

LARGE INCREASE Census report shows that 21,772 bales of cotton were ginned in New berry county from the crop of 1939 prior to November 14 as compared with 15,676 bales for the crop of 1938, according to B.
