TROOP ONE GIRL SCOUTS
The Girl Scouts of troop one had a
very delightful program Monday ev
ening which was featured by an Inter
esting address by the Rev. C. A. Cal-
cote, pastor of Aveleigh Presbyterian
church.
The girls were elated to learn that
quarters had been secured at the coun
ty fair grounds for the regular Mon
day night meetings which will be at
the jockies quarters. These quarters
were secured through the efforts of
Mr. T. E. Davis, Mr. Homer Schum-
pert, Mr. Alan Johnstone and our
leader, Mrs. B. V. Chapman.
Various articles for euipping the
quarters were contributed by loyal
and patriotic citizens of Newberry.
The Scouts were glad to serve at
the Silver tea for the traveling li
brary Friday afternoon at headquar
ters. The troop donated one book to
the library.

HARE REPLIES TO CRITICISM
(Continued from page one)
innocent beverage; whether they
made contributions to the church and
how much, whether the family avail
ed themselves of the opportunities for
amusemtent and the amount of the
annual bill. The particular schedule
from which I am reading shows a
detailed description of the house fur
nishings in one family, as follows:
All old and of the cheapest make.
Sitting room contains a bed, couch,
sewing machine, a washstand, and a
few chairs. Other bedrooms contain
beds and chairs only. The kitchen
contains a stove and table with nec
essary pots and pans. Window
shades and curtains of the cheapest
material. The sitting room had
mats for covering and other rooms
were bare. The only pictures of any
kind on the wall are the family re
cords hanging above the fireplace
Proceeding further it says:
The oldest girl and oldest boy go
to the city and sometimes attend the
theater or moving-picture show. The
boys congregate in the company store
in the evenings. Sometimes they go
to church and to Sunday school.
The same Government report from
which I am now reading, found in
volume 16 of the report of the Com
missioner of Labor, 1910, illustrates
the character of the study, investiga
tion, or census made by giving an in
ventory of the wardrobe of each mem
ber of the family. And from the
standpoint of privacy. I hesitate to
read into the record all the inquiries
made and articles named in response
thereto, but to show the housing cen
sus bill now being discussed and crit
icized does not contemplate inquiries
near so embarrassing as those con
tained in the schedules back in 1908
when the special census or investi
gation already referred to was taken,
I read from this same volume on page
44 where it recites a rather complete
inventory of articles bought for one
of the daughters of the family (age
21) and the amounts paid for such
articles. I quote:
One cloth suit valued at $25; 1 linen
suit, $12; 3 cotton waists, $3; 2 per
cale waists, 60 cents; 1 linen skirt, $2;
1 Persian lawn dress, $6.50; 4 calico
dresses, $2.42; 1 gingham dress, 95
cents; 1 silk petticoat, $6; 6 cotton
petticoats, $6.60; 4 pairs cotton
drawers, $1.87; 2 corsets, $2; 6 corset
covers, $3j 4 cotton nightgowns, $4;
3 straw hats, $12; 23 pairs of stock
ings, $7; 5 pairs shoes, $11.50; 1 pair
silk gloves, $2—
And so forth. The point I am try
ing to illustrate is that the schedules
of 1908 certainly contained inquiries
that went much further into the
privacy of the home and the indi
vidual than the inquiries contemplated
in the proposed schedule for taking
a housing census. If the schedule
exhibited here today contained inquir
ies designed to find out the number
and quality of underclothes worn by
the mothers and daughters of this
country I would certainly vote
against this appropriation.
Mr. Chairman, to come before this
House and argue against the appro
priation on the ground that it is a
trespass upon the privacy of the home
for the first time in the history of
this country is absurd. As I said at
the outset, I do not care to enter in
to an argument as to the wisdom,
propriety, or the economic value of
these inquiries, but I do want to sub
mit that it is not a new undertaking
on the part of this Government. I
assume the purpose of the inquiry is
somewhat similar to the purpose of
the investigation or special census
made in 1907, 1908, and 1910 when
the alleged purpose was to make in
quiry into the social, educational, and
economic condition of women and
child wage earners in the United
States. If we had the right, then, if
we had the authority then, and if we
could do it then withoout trespassing
upon the privacy or rights of the
people, I see no reason why it can
not be done today with equal pro
priety.

The Civic League is at present New
berry’s busiest service club. Mrs.
Forrest Summer, with a group of
NYA workers, is very busy planting,
pruning and spraying shrubs on all
civic league grounds. The city coun
cil is sponsoring this project. All pub
lic grounds will be landscaped and
beautified under the direction of the
Civic League.
On account of the ice and heavy
snow many of the Civic League
shrubs have been bent over and brok
en. This group of workers is prun
ing out, staking and re-shaping many
shrubs. The shubbery around the
Old Court House looks very much
better since it has been given expert
attention. Memorial Square is mow
more attractive, a very big piece of
landscaping will be done at the rear
of the New Court House, the rock
wall on Thompson street will be set
back to the City line, giving much
needed space at the rear of the
Conrt House grounds. Shrubbery
will be taken up there, the grounds
graded, rolled, and landscaped. Low
shrubbery will be planted against the
annex. County officials will assist in
the work done at the New Court
House. The 5.000 shrubs at Margar
et Hunter Park will he pruned, spray
ed and fertilized. The grounds there
will be nut in readiness for the open
ing of the Park and Pool. It is the
plan of the Civic League to landscape
the Fire House grounds, the munici
pal stadium with the cooperation of
officials there. Landscaping of the
grounds at the World War Memorial
building is planned. The shrubbery
at the Fair ground, hospital ground,
Newberry college campus and the
cemetery will be given attention as
early as possible.
The cooperation of the public is
asked by the members of the Civic
League in this big undertaking which
means so much to the beauty and at
tractiveness of our city.
Under the leadership of the Civic
League the house on Marion Davis
play ground has been remodeled, en
larged and put in readiness for use
as a play school center. Around 25
children attend this play school. The
Civic League is responsible for the
management, attractiveness and use
fulness of the Marion Davis play
ground.
If you wish to have a part in the
big work the Civic League is doing
in the city of Newberry you can help
by making a contribution of money,
shrubbery or fertilizer. The Civic
League has just received a gift of
$50.00 worth of bamboo from H. O.
Swittenberg, Manager of the Nehi
bottling company in Newben-y. This
gift is deeply appreciated. There are
many places where the league can
use this bamboo to advantage. Any
other gift or donation will be gladly
accepted. Please telephone 283 and
ask that your contribution be called
for. Many people working together
can do big things for Newberry. The
Civic League will appreciate your as
sistance.
Mrs. C. W. Lovett of Lovett, Ga„
will return to her home Sunday af
ter spending two weeks with her par
ents. Mr. and Mrs. David Williams
and brother, Cecil, on Mayer avenue.
Miss Pearl West, who has been re
cuperating at the home of her mother,
