THIS SORT OF SHENANIGANS EXPLAINS A FEW THINGS Because public officials failed to pay their personal electric bills, owed to the municipal plant, an Ohio town finds itself in serious financial trouble. And a Pennsylvania village paid $35,000 for a paving job that should have cost $6,000. In another community a mayor sold a $50 radio set to a contractor for $500 the day before paving contracts were let. This sort of shenanigans explains why many American communities don’t get their money’s worth for the $4,500,000,000 they spent last year for government, says the Nat ional Consumers Tax Commission, whose study groups in 5,000 commun ities are seeking lower taxes thru more efficient and economical govern ment. These cases were among the more glaring of preliminary samples turn ed up by NCTC women in surveying for “economy begins at home” drives. There will be a one per cent. (Iper cent) discount on general County Taxes through November 30, 1939. On and after January 1, 1940, the Penalties prescribed by law will be imposed on unpaid Taxes. You are requested to call for your taxes by School Districts in which property is located. The Treasurer is not responsible for unpaid taxes not called for by districts. Those who had their dogs vacci nated for rabies during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1939, by one authorized by law, and expect to be exempted from dog tax will please bring their certificate of vaccina- ation when appearing to pay taxes. RALPH B. BLACK, Treasurer Newberry County. CELLS ARE WORK ROOMS FOR BRITISH WAR STAFF LONDON, Eng.—Scores of the war office staff have gone to prison. There’s been no scandal attached to the move, but it’s a fact just the same. All regular inmates of one of Bri tain’s most famous old prisons were evacuated soon after war was declar ed, and their cells now are being oc cupied by officers, using the cells as offices. Cells which had been used for old and infirm prisoners are the most eagerly sought, for they are well equipped with modern heating appar atus. $1.00 Cod Liver Oil (PURETEST) 2 for $1.01 We, the undersigned Jury Com- missioneirs of Newberry County, shall on the llth dlay of April, 1940, at 9 o’clock A.

S. Bader has two artificial legs, and yet is a first-class pilot of the R. A. F. somewhere in England, with the title of flying officer. Bader joined the RAF eight years ago and was one of England’s most promising pilots, then one day he crashed and lost both legs. He had two artificial legs fitted and found that he could fly as well as ever with them. So he applied to the air min istry to rejoin the RAF, but it was peacetime, he was rejected. But Bader was not the type that gives up easily, so went on flying on his own in all kinds of machines, and when war broke out, was accepted once again by the air ministry. NEW CITY DIRECTORY OUT Newberry’s new city directory is now in the hands of subscribers.
