✓ Every Week More People Read The Sun VOLUME 3; NO. 22 The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1940 Slider and Greneker—1856-1860 Work Begun On Sidewalk Extension Miss Harrison Gets Trip To Charleston Court Resumes After BLEASE ELECTED TO Wednesday’s Recess COMPENSATION JOB Preparations Made For Social Workers Matins Ends Holy Season at Redeemer (By the Chamber of Commerce) In August the Chamber of Com merce made an effort to get the Food Administration to investigate New berry as an outlet for the Food Stamps Plan.which was devised to give those on relief more for their money, while helping to cut down the surplus in certain commodities. Until now, we have made no progress on this but are now glad to announce that on Tuesday evening, March 2fi, at the Chamber of Commerce, we will have Mr. Thomas H. Daniel, state director of the department of public welfare, come here and explain in de tail the Food Stamp Plan. This meeting will be of a special interest to the grocers, both retail and wholesale, of Newberry County and they are given a special invita tion to attend this conference. If, after this meeting, we wish to apply to the Federal Surplus Com modities Corporation for the Food Stamp Plan for Newberry County, we will have the privilege of doing so. The Chamber of Commerce is hap py to announce that work is now started on widening and beautifying College street from Fair street out towards Plampins station. This pro ject was financed more than a year ago but did not get very far at that time, for the same was withdrawn and used in another section of the state. After the revitilization of the Chamber of Commerce, a strenuous effort was made to get this matter reopened and a committee composed of Mayor Earhardt, President Kohn, Representative Pope, and A. J. Bow ers appeared before the Chief High way Engineer in Columbia and urged that this project be again offered to Newberry. After about six months, funds were found available and a committee from the Chamber of Com merce immediately got busy to secure the necessary rights-of-way to make possible this work. Success was not immediate but by untiring efforts, it now looks as if a good start has been made. It is the purpose of th«> Cham ber of Commerce to begin, next week, efforts looking towards the same type of work on East Main street from the city limits to Suber’s store. Much credit for what has been ac complished should be given to Cham ber of Commerce Director Z. F. Wright, who has worked untiringly, with President Kohn, to make pos sible what will be a handsome en trance to the city. MALLIE DEAN, FATHER OF MRS. CLAUDE REEDER DIES IN GA.
