PAGE BIGHT THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, MARCH 1 W BRYSON TO LEAD HOUSE DISCUSSION Washington, Feb. 25.—Returning to Washington yesterday, Represent - tive Joseph R. Bryson of the Four . South Carolina district expressed great satisfaction with the reception given by his colleagues to the an nouncement that he and 23 other members of the house will sponsor a study of the unemployment problem. “I find that many members are deeply interested in this problem,” said Mr. Bryson, “and I believe a sizeable group will attend our meetings, the first of which we will hold Monday evening. “Just what we may accomplish I am not prepared to say now, because there are so many ramifications to every angle of the question, but I feel that the only way to ferret out the trouble and decide what steps can be taken to relieve this problem is to undertake a study and discussion W. E. Turner JWELER Small Payment Down; balance weekly. such as we have suggested.” Both Parties Join The 24 members, both Democrats and Republicans, who announced that the study will be initiated, are urging that any other members who so de sire join them in their “attack on un employment. They emphasize that they are forming no “bloc”, and are seeking neither to aid nor injure any political party or other group, but ar e merely acting in an earnest desire to work out a solution to the unemploy ment problem. “Here is an idea of why we have this unemployment today,” Mr. Bry son said. “I noticed a machine down at the Department of Justice the other day which separates cards. This machine can do this work as fast as three or four men or women and can do the work just as rapidly. “Now, that machine is saving the government money in the form of wages it would have to pay to people to do that work, but nevertheless the invention and use of that machine there has thrown a number of people out of work. What are those people who used to do that work going to do? Other Examples “Another example—when a rural route postman quits or is retired now, it often follows that that route is consolidated with another route. Thus instead of another man being employed, a job is eliminated. “This comes about because today we have good roads and one man can serve in a few bourse a route covering many miles that it used to take men all day to serve. These things, as I say, save money for the government, but the number of jobs available are becoming fewer with all these im provements and new inventions. “What we must do is to find a method of providing jobs for our people. I know that while I was home during the past few days many people came to see me about getting jobs. Of course, there are a few who want to be particular or who don’t really want work, but the vast maj ority are begging for any work they can get. That’s what the people want —work. And that’s what we want to try to provide.” KENDALL MILLS LUTHERAN Rev. J. B. Harman, Pastor Summer Memorial: Friday 4 p. m. Children of the Church. Sunday 10 a. m. Sunday school.

SHOWS GENTLEMEN (MARRY BRUNETS Clinton, Feb. 25.—“Gentlemen pre fer blondes, but gentlemen marry brunettes” was substantiated at least in part when Presbyterian college students selected the characteristics they want the girls they marry to have, in a student body balloting sponsored by the student weekly newspaper, The Blue Stocking. The girl they would like to marry is a model of propriety, industry, and good taste, if the replies they registered are accurate. She has brunette hair, brown eyes and is medium in height. She does not smoke, drink, tell dirty jokes, nor wear guady nail polish. She wears make-up, but she does not apply it in public. She dances but she does not “jitterbug”. She is emphatically not a clinging vine. The students want her to be their intellectual equal. She reads popular books, but not to excess. She plays bridge, is willing to start married life on a salary of $100 a month. She is thrifty, domestic and demure. And 47 per cent of them have met this paragon of perfection. Or at least they claim they have. MAYBANK URGES STEPS FOR FUND USE Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Feb. 27.— Governor Burnet R. Maybank of South Carolina said today the state supreme court’s action in holding un lawful the diversion of highway funds to ordinary state purposes “gives us an operating deficit for this year of nearly $1,500,000.” The appropriation bill under con sideration is $2,000,000 beyond ex pected revenues, he added, giving the legislature a serious problem in efforts to balance the budget. “I respect the decision of the court in view of present constitution al limitations,” said the executive. “However, it appears to me that a thorough study of the situation should be made, so that we might pass proper legislation that would give the people the right to make such action legal if they desire. “Use of highway funds is legally practiced in a great many states to the benefit of all departments and the people. We are a poor state. New taxes would destroy future possibili ties. The constitution requires a balanced budget. To these ends all South Carolinians should devote their thoughts and efforts.” TEACHERS ATTEND SESSION IN COLUMBIA Those from Newberry attending an Education meeting which was held in Columbia Wednesday in interest of schools, were: Misses Julia Kibler, Sudie Dennis, Supt. of Education C. E. Hendrix; R. L. Riser, principal of Pomaria school; J. W. Balldnftirte, principal of Little Mountain school, and R. H. Miller, principal of Stoney Hill school. A. R. P. YOUNG PEOPLE ENJOY PARTY Sixteen young people joined in the fun when the Young People’s Christ ian Union of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church entertained with a party Saturday night. Each mem ber of the league invited a guest, and all took part in participation of games and contests. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Baker was the scene of the party. Forsythia formed a lovely floral set ting in the rooms where four tables were laid for games. In choosing partners, each boy was given a paper on which was written a woid with one letter left out. The girl was given a paper with the left- out letter, and these had to be mat ched'. A motif suggestive of George Washington’s birthday was carried out. Some of the games were spear ing for candy. Acrostics, riddle bees, ping pong and Colonial games. These present enjoyed ice cream and cake, which was served after the games were played. Miss Jean Wood of Erskine college was in Newberry for the occasion. FORTNIGHTLY HAS BUSINESS MEETING Mrs. Thomas Pope, Sr., was hostess when the Fortnightly club met at the home of Mrs. R. G. Wallace for a business meeting. Mrs. E. G. Able was reader for the morning. Mrs. W. G. Houseal discuss ed foreign news, Mrs. J. N. Mc- Caughrin, domestic news, and Mrs. Herman Wright, state news. The members of the club enjoyed a three course luncheon at one o’clock. Potted plaints decorated the rooms of Mrs. Wallace’s home. Mr. and Mrs. Claude Sanders, Prof. T. E. Epting and his mother, Mrs. T. E. Epting were dinner guests in the home of Mrs. Epting’s son and daugh ter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Ept ing, in Greenville Saturday night. Dr. W. E. Fulmer of Columbia has been visiting his sister, Mrs. H. B. Wells and Chief Wells for about three weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Epting and lit tle daughter, Barbara, spent Tuesday night with Mr. Epting’s mother, Mrs. T. E. Epting on Boundary street. They spent Wednesday with Mrs. Epting’s mother, Mrs. J. L.

FREEDOM IN NOVEMBER The people of South Carolina are again reminded that they will be able to vote in the primaries for sheriff, members of congress, legislators, all officers, this year and will take a pledge to vote for the nominees in the general election, but that they will not be pledged to support the nominees of the Democratic or other party for President and vice presi dent in the general election. The state convention of 1938 abolished that pledge.—News & Courier. ST. PHILIPS ITEMS Little George Summer’s operation was postponed. He is to go back to the hospital on the 20th of March. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Summer gave me the pleasure of going with them on a ride. We went past one of my old friends, Mr. Geo. Minick and his sister, Miss Anna, of Pomaria. Years ago when I was a nursery agent they bought from me and I was glad to stop in and see them for it has been such a long time. Mr. and Mrs. Duane Gilliam have moved from David Ruff’s to G. H. Sligh’s. Mr. and Mrs. Davis Bund- rick have moved from Miss Edna Edna Grace Kinard’s to F. G. Wickers. The grain crop in this section is very poor. The weather has been so bad it has had little chance to grow. I am proud to see that they are making arrangements to cover the church. The shingles are now on the ground. We don’t know when they will begin work but hope very soon as the building needs covering badly. There was a collection raised Sun day at the church for the Finnish re lief. About $15 was realized.

RELIGIOUS OR CHRISTIAN. By.O. Hallesby. Augsburg Publishing House, Minneapolis, Minn. Pp. 198- Price, $1.00. This thought-provoking volume by O. Hallesby, Ph. D., Professor in the Independent Theological Seminary, Oslo, Norway, transCted by Clarence J. Carlsen, distinguishes the word “Christian” from the word “Reli gious” in a very fine way in these eight chapters on—Christianity’s In tellectual Crosses, The Obedience of Faith, The Hour of Temptation, Man ly Christianit. . The Offense of the Cross, By Grace, A Contrite Heart, and Religion and Christianity.” The first captivating summary is found on page 10: “The intellectual para doxes of Christianity converge upon the miracle as their focal point. In the miracle it is the supernatural which constitutes the intellectual cross, not only because modern science with practical unanimity denies mir acles, but in particular because mod ern science excludes the very possibi lity of miracles, by the method which it employs. The miracle conflicts with the very idea of reality which is held by modern science.” The author points out on page 23 that life . . . “puts thinking in its rightful place.” He means that man does not under stand his intellectual crosses, nor can he think them through, and yet “they do not cause him much mental dis tress,” p. 24. The tone of +he book is this, p. 25: “Then pray that God would have a meeting with you, and provide you with a personal, first hand, and daily experience of Him self.” This is what makes one a Christian; it is to meet God in Christ. It is Christian mysticism; it is the new birth; it is regeneration that the author is discussing from cover to cover. Note this: “When my con science levels its accusations against me: that I do not love God, but my self; . . . then I bow my head and say: All this is true. I would be con demned if I had only my own life to present to God. But Christ is my life.” p. 121. This is what the author means by Christian; it is far more than other religious idolatries. A pen etrating book to the real message of the Christian religion. BOY’S CURE MIRACULOUS St. Cloud, Minn., Feb. 27.—Four months ago physicians said his case was hopeless, but today six-year-old Norman Dolinsky was ready to gp to school. Norman appeared to be winning over the rare lymphatic lukemia. Doctors, unable to find authenticat ed record of a cure in medical annals, said death was inevitable last Novem ber. They gave him a week to live. As a last resort, Lorraine.. lOlive, nineteen, Minneapolis, who tf 0 /years before had staged what doctorSAewirv ed a “remarkable recovery from a similar if not identical ailment, serv ed as blood donor for a transfusion. Norman rallied. After another transfusion he was allowed to go home from the hospital. Three weeks ago he began to walk alone. Recent tests indicate some leuke mia cells remain but show “a remark able change.” So, today, Dr. Philip Halenbed? told Norman he could go to school. LEILA LIKES NEEW YORK RELIEF NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—“I won’t go back to Greenville unless they put me on a train,” said Lela Coker here today. “If I do, my children won’t get no education and they’ll have to work in the fields. Relief down there is $5 a month with a bag of cornmeal thrown in and even a job as a cook only pays $2.50 a week.” The welfare department, however, says that unless Lela and her eight children return to Greenville, S. C., voluntarily, they will be “deported.” The 47-year-old negress, who was threatened yesterday with eviction from her $37 a month flat claims she has lived here six years and for al- mos three years has supported her self and her family. She produced a letter purportedly written by a Greenville, S. C. judge but containing many improperly spelled words stating that her hus band had often beaten her and had been convicted for that offense and added that if she went back he would “beat me and maybe kill me.” A spokesman for the New York city department of welfare explain ed that South Carolina authorities had agreed to accept her back and pay for her and that the trip would be made at municipal expense. “New York city relief standards are among the highest in the country,” it was stated, “and persons from all over the United States seek to come here to get on relief. The law provides that any person who applies for relief without having supported him self here for a year is legally a non resident and can be sent back to his legal home. “Mrs. Coker said that her latest relief checks were about $40.70 every two weeks. “I just ain’t going back to Greenville no more,” she insisted.
