Club house. All club members are
urged to be present and bring pro
ject songs and gray book.
Frame gardens might be of inter
est to those interested in providing
fresh vegetables from the cold frame
weeks before the regular garden can
be planted. Very satisfactory dimen
sions are 20 feet long and not over 4
or 5 feet wide. Of course, it is im
portant to start the garden with good
soil. Spade up the ground for about
1 inches and fertilize with well rotted
manure. Plant vegetables in rows
8 to 12 inches apart running the nar
row way to make cultivation easier.
As soon as one crop is over another
can be started. A good grade of mus
lin makes the best cover for the pro
tection of the vegetables.
The specialists tell us that where
these frame gardens have been pro
perly tried out they have played an
impoitant part in improved family
living. They not only cut down the
grocery bill, the doctor’s bill, and the
home maker’s work, but also help im
prove family health by supplying
plenty of leafy vegetables at seasons
when we do not find them in our gar
dens. First rule in farming should
be Food for the Family.
The book of the month for farm
people should be the seed catalog.
Study them carefully and get the best
seed available. —“Seldom do bargain
seeds”—enlist in the war on weeds.

Apple Sauce Drop Cookies
1-2 cup fat

1-2 t. salt
1-4 t Cloves.
1-4 t. cinnamon
1-2 cup raisins
Cream fat. Add sugar gradually.
Add alternately some of the sifted
ingredients and some of the apple
sauce. Raisins may be added if des
ired. Drop from teaspoon onto a
slightly greased cookie sheet. Bake
ten to twelve minutes in hot oven.
Add a few more raisins and some nuts
if you wish to make them better
still.

ROTARY CLUB DONATES
TO PEOPLES’ HOSPITAL
The members of the Board of Trus
tees and personnel of the Peoples’
hospital wish to acknowledge with
much appreciation the many useful
gifts donated to the institution during
the pre-holidays, and for those re
ceived last week from Mr. J. D.
French, also a member of the club.
With the first supply, came good
news that, more would follow, there
fore we withheld expression of thanks
until this time. The gifts and money-
amounted to about $150.00, and if
the hospital had listed their needs,
the members of the club could not
have been more wise and generous
in selecting them.
We feel very much indebted to the
Rotarians for a similar humanitarian
act last year.
We pledge greater service to the
Negroes of Newberry and vicinity,
made possible by the support and co
operation the white people generally
have given us.
Dr. J. E. Grant.

TALKING SHOP
The best way to make a long walk
short is to have someone interesting
to talk with. I discovered that last
Wednesday afternoon. I was walk
ing up Boundary street, and it hap-
pended that at the same time Mr. R.
G. Reagin was going the same way.
While walking along, we began to
talk, and Mr. Reagin told me that he
used to be a newspaper man, so then
we really began to talk “shop.” Mr.
Reagin said that while he was living
out west, he wrote poems for papers,
and after he moved to Newberry he
worked on a local paper, drawing up
ads. “Even while soling shoes,” he
said, “I had the desire to write ads.
Once you get in the newspaper busi
ness, you never want to leave it for
very long at a time. I learned that
what it takes to get people to read
ads is something that will capture
and hold their attention, and the title
means a lot.”
Before I realized it, Mr. Reagin
had reached his destination, and again
the old adage, that all things must
come to an end, had come true.
SCHOOL LOVERS
A local teacher told this. It seems
that if the students didn’t have
exams last Friday, they weren’t re
quired to come to school. The teach
er told one of his sections that and
since no one in that particular sec
tion had an exam he didn’t expect
to see them the next day. “Imagine
my surprise”, said this teacher, “to
walk in my classroom and see two
girls sitting there. I thought I had
made it clear that they didn’t have
to come, but evidently I hadn’t so I
began to explain again. They stop
ped me before I had started, though,
and said they knew they didn’t HAVE
to come to school, they just WANTED
to.”
