H-D COLUMN By MISS ETHEL COUNTS WAX FIGURES Back in the 1800s when a Fair was held in Atlanta, Ga., a party of four ladies went from Newberry to “take it in.” It took so long to get there, they found they would have only a little while to stay and since they wanted* to see the museum of wax figures, went there first. It must have been rather large for by the time they were through looking at all the figures they were thoroughly ex hausted. One of the ladies slumped in a chair, put there for tired visitors and exclaimed, “I’m so tired I’m about to die.” The lady had on one of those hats with a veil half cover ing the face, the kind that were styl ish at that time. While she was quietly resting there another lady, who evidently was from the North by the way she talked, came over and looked at her. She called her husb and and said “You know, I believe this is the most life-like figure I’ve seen yet.” Her husband agreed with her and while the two were admiring the naturalness of the “figure” it threw e.p its hands and said “Oh, I’m so tired!” The couple jumped and ran, while the “wax figure” yawned a few times and hunted up the other three Newberry ladies. HOLIDAYS February seems to be full of holi days. First of all came Groundhog Day, February 2, at which time the ground hog saw his shadow and went into retreat for another six weeks of bad weather. It would seem that the groundhog could be wrong for with the bad we’ve been having some very lovely days. On the 14th of the month came St. Valentine’s, when all the boys sent their lady loves huge satin covered, heart-shaped boxes of candy. Several great men were bom in February. Charles Lindberg on the 4th, Abraham Lincoln on the 12th and on the 22nd, the Father of our country. George Washington. When I think of Washington I always think of a song I learned in the grammar grades: “First in war, first in peace, First in the hearts of his country men, That is the story of Washington, That is the glory of Washington. His spirit is here, his spirit is here, He’s standing commanding above. In words, and deeds, we follow the lead Of the Father of the land we love. Friday the first day of March will be a red letter day on the Home De monstration Calendar for that is when we rally to the aid of the Traveling Library. We need at least 2500 volumes in order to serve the communities in an acceptable way. We are making a desperate effort to reach this number. Won’t you help? Every person in the county is in vited to call at the new quarters (the old Chamber of Commerce) and see how the County Officials and the I NYA have fixed us up. The house' warming will be from 4 to 5 o’clock and if you have a book that you have read and would pass along bring that with you, or if you have a few coins that you can spare these will be greatly appreciated. If you haven’t either just come and enjoy the after noon and sip a cup of tea with your friends. By all means make your plans to come. ICE They says its true, the people who told us, but we find it hard to believe. It seems that it happened one very cold winter, many years ago. When a certain house near Silverstreet was built the water tank was put on the third story of the house. A bedroom was directly underneath. One night, after the son of the house, who slept in this room went to bed the tank overflowed and dripped on his bed. The next morning when his family went to awake him they found him under a solid sheet of ice, and believe it or not, he was sleeping peacefully. If this happened to anyone reading this item, I would appreciate ’it if you would write and tell me. I’d really like to know if it’s true. Through the AAA 1940 Farm Pro gram every farm family living on the farm that is cooperating is of fered a prize of $1.50 for the growing of a home garden. It is a prize in that although we realize that a garden is a necessity, a home garden in 1940 is called a soil building practice for which $1.50 is paid. The specifications for growing a home garden for which $1.50 will be paid in 1940 to every farm family is as follows: (a) There must be at least one fourth acre (excluding sweet pota toes) of garden for each family. (b) The garden (excluding sweet potatoes) shall be planted in one piece of ground and must be devoted to vegetables throughout the year. At least ten different vegetables must be produced which may include roast ing corn, crowder or field peas, toma toes, and sweet potatoes grown out side of the plot. Two or more fam ilies on the same farm may combine their gardens into a common area. Suggested bajic vegetables include sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, coll- ards, turnip greens, turnip roots, snap beans, cabbage, crowder or field peas, tomatoes, lima beans, onions, and okra. (c) The soil must be prepared pro perly and fertilized, and must be kept reasonably well-cultivated throughout the year. (d) An effort must be made to con trol insert pests. (e) Adequate protection from live stock must be provided. DR. LAMOREUX It is evident by the number of par ties given for Dr. and Mrs. F. O. Lamoreux that everyone hates to see them leave Newberry. They are both such likeable persons. I think there have been even more parties in their honor than any bride any time recently. All the college students like him, and were very amused at a quip he pulled at the college sever il days ago. He was making a talk in chapel and in the course of his talk told the students that he would be in New berry quite often since he had a farm almost in sight of the college and would stay there a lot. He went on to tell about the various kinds of fruit trees on his place, then gave a very inspiring talk. After Dr. Lamoreux’ talk Dr. Kinard said “It’s nice that you will be back with us, but I don’t know whether you did the right thing in telling the students about your fruit trees,” to which the Doctor replied “Oh, I don’t mind if the students get themselves some fruit, but I don’t want to catch any of the professors out there!” LEAP YEAR BABY Leap year babies are one of the things we hear very little of. It must be a joy to those born on Feb. 29 for that date to roll around every four years. I know it is this year for Metts Fant, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Fant of Newberry. For Metts celebrates his fourth birthday anni versary this year. Metts was born February 29, 1924, and on that date in 1928, ceelbrated his first anniver sary. At the party given by his mother, 70 of Metts young friends joined the fun to wish his a happy birthday. Miss Gurtrude Reeder helped with the entertainment by tell ing the children stories. Next Thursday Metts’ mother will again honor him with a dance to be given for his friends at the Legion Hall. Metts is sixteen, but just cele brating his fourth annivesrary. He is one of the most popular boys at Newberry high, and I know his many friends will join with me in wishing him a happy birthday. HOSPITAL AUXILIARY MEETS THURSDAY The Hospital Auxiliary held its re gular monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. W. H. Hunt on Calhoun street Thursday afternoon, February 15. The president, Mrs. H. B.

Miss Ethel Counts gave an inter esting talk on “Poultry Problems” and also a discussion on buying gladi oli for our flower garden. It was our aim this month to sho wer the Newberry county hospital, so a large quantity of towels was receiv ed which will be sent to the hospital. Also a donation of $3.00 was giv en to the Newberry county library for books. After enjoying several games of “Bingo,” hot coffee and sandwiches was served by the hostesses. DR.

Shealy, Jr. BROTHERLY LOVE A little Newberry boy recently dis covered he had a loose tooth. He asked his mother to pull it and she tried but couldn’t, so she told him she would take him to a dentist and have it pulled. When his little brother heard that he decided that he would have to go to the dentist too. Their mother took them both and after the older boy had the two teeth pulled, the younger refused to leave until the dentist did something to his. Now, while the older boy is proudly displaying two vacancies the younger with equal pride grins and shows his newly cleaned teeth. EMERY CIRCLE ENTERTAINED Mrs. Frank Wilson was hostess to the Emery Circle when it met at the home of Mrs. R. G. Wallace on Cald well street Friday morning. Mrs. Wilson had two extra tables.
