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

WILLOWBROOK CLUB MEET
The Willowbrook Home Demonstra

ary 12th, at the home of the presi
dent, Mrs. O. S. Goree.
The meeting was called to order by
the president. Mrs. Frank Shealy
conducted the devotion® after which
the members repeated the Lord’s
Prayer.
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. LAMOREUX HONORED
ON BIRTHDAY
The adult BYPU of the First Bap
tist church honored Dr. Lamoreux on
his birthday Thursday night in the
Fellowship room of the church. A
pink and white color scheme v">s

used for a centerpiece.
A three course dinner was served
to the twelve guests present.

perity are receiving congratulations
over the arrival of a ten pound son,
born Friday, February 16. The
little fellow will be called after his
proud father, S. W. 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

William Thompson of Charlotte, and
Mrs. Brice Waters of Columbia.
