SECOND CALL TO THE LEAGUE
Somewhat back we invoked the
services of the Civic league in an ef
fort to have removed the old building
in front of Stoke’s drug store. We
have heard in an indirect manner
that the League is interested and may
make some move in that direction.
We know we have assigned the
League no easy task but we have
confidence that it can do the job. We
have confidence because we know
that the people of the city believe in
the league; that all it undertakes is
for the welfare of all and not in the
interest of a few. An imposing
monument to the league’s ability to
do things is beautiful Margaret Hun
ter park, to mention only one thing.
The league is alert and awake. The
president gives a good bit of her
time to its activities when the rest
of us would perhaps be resting from
our pursuits. And not only the presi
dent, but all the ladies who make up
this body are vitally interested in
Newberry and answer calls to ser
vice 100 per cent.
We just want to remind the League
that we are still looking their way for
some action.

Plans Being Completed
For Dedication
The public is asked to remember
the date of the dedication of the
World War Memorial Building on
May 30. This important occasion
will bring many visitors from other
parts of the state to Newberry. The
dedication proper will begin at 8
o’clock as planned by the American
Legion. Open house will be observ
ed from 4 p. m. until 11 o’clock.
Many friends of the American Le
gion throughout the county are ex
pected .to drop in during the after
noon and remain for the dedication
at 8 o’clock. Many gifts are being
received daily by Mrs. J. H. Summer
publicity chairman for the dedication
of the World War Memorial building,
ing.
The American Legion is one of
the finest and most aggresdve service
rilubs Newberry has.. Two io>f idhiet
strongest planks in the Legion plat
form are Americanism and communi
ty service. ' Now especially, whan
our thought are turned to the evils
of wor. The public should offer
strong cooperation to any call of
the American Legion. The days of
1917-1918 are still vivid in the
minds of many of us as we plan 1 for
the dedication of the World War
Memorial building.
Each of us should also reconse
crate ourselves to the fine princi
ples of the American Legion and
stress preparedness and national de
fense in every way possible.

COUNTY JOBS GO BEGGING
It would appear that few are in
terested in jobs with Newberry coun
ty; even those holding the offices at
present have given no indication that
they would like to hold on, that is, no
public indication. Other places in the
state have fixed the fees and candi
dates are announcing at lively clip.
The Democratic Executive commit
tee will meet here Saturday and fix
fees for this county and perhaps ar
range an itinerary for the candidates.

PRESBYTERIANS LOOKING
TO UNION
Southern Church Would Not Sacrifice
Fundamental Beliefs.
Chattanooga, May 21.—The Presby-
teriau church, United States, (South
ern) voted today to continue negotia
tions looking to union with the North
ern church but at the same time reit
erated its refusal to sacrifice funda
mental beliefs.
The general assembly authorized
its committee on cooperation and
union “to continue to explore in
search of suitable ways and means
of bringing into one body all the
branches of our Presbyterian family”.
It added, through adoption of reso
lutions, that “this door of hope must
not be shut for such labors, neither
should we become unduly hasty in
these matters of eternal importance”.
Where before the committee had
unlimited powers in its negotiations
with the Presbyterian church (north
ern) of the U. S. A., the assembly
restricted its operations by stating
it must safeguard “the purity of the
doctrine, the properties of the chur.-h
and endowment” and other activities
so that regional bodies (synods;
would have final authority. Leaders
agreed the restriction in itself did
little more than leave open the “door
of hope” for union “at some time in
the future.”
The Northern church vests all im
portant powers in its assembly as
a central body while the Southern
church places them within the synods
and presbyteries as regional bodies.
The Southern church made plain its
determination not to alter the setup
although the regions might be en
larged.
Baylor university, in Texas, has
the world’s largest collection of the
works of Robert Browning, the
English poet.
Howard Lipscomb, who has been
a patient in the Newberry county
hospital suffering with pneumonic,
is improving.
We regret to learn of the death of
David Lenard Halfacre, but hope it
has won a great reward. He passed
away at the Newberry county hospi
tal last Friday afternoon. Mr. Half
acre lived a good and quiet life, and
was well thought of by everyone. He
was twice married first to Miss Nora
Epting, and to this union was bom
one son, Walter. His second marriage
was to Miss Ula Epting, sister of his
first wife.
Mr. Halfacre was laid to rest in
the Clayton Memorial church ceme
tery where he attended since a boy
until his death.
May God’s richest blessing rest
upon the grieved family and mav they
look forward to a better life together.
So many of the boys that I grew
up with have passed away. It is
well for us to be ready, for we know
not when death is near.
and Mrs. Warren Abrams.
After “America The Beautiful
was sung by the audience, Supt. of
Education C. E. Hendrix spoke on
“This Work Pays' Our Community.”
The principal speaker for the ev
ening was Dr. Jas. C. Kinard. His
subject was ‘Taking the WPA Apart 1
The program was closed by the aud-
ence singing “Columbia The Gem of
The Ocean” which was directed by
Miss Rose Hamm, with music by the
Nebwberry concert band.
During the week the lunch pro-
_ jects at the different scliools served
lunch to visitors. The lunch room
at the Johnstone school was very at
tractive with flowers and other dec
orations.
At the Johnstone project school
children were served along with the
visitors, and, to quote George Brown
there was “no better project in the
State” than this one.
The Boundary street school lunch
room is located in the basement of
the school building and is kept neat
and clean by the workers.
The purpose of these lunch rooms
is to render a service to the com
munity by serving a well balanced

Our army, too, says the general,
is not the “invasion” type. It’s a
small, well equipped organization
that is excellent for defense only.
Even in the event that over a period
of years we could by forced military
service biuM and train a large “in
vasion” army we would only discover
that our merchant marine is so small
that we would not have sufficient
ships to transport the troops in the
large quantities necessary.
Turning the picture around, how
ever, it is encouraging to note how
sufficient our army and navy are to
resist an invasion of the United
States, continues General Hagood.
Our high-seas fleet would see to it
that no considerable expeditionary
forces came into our waters or main
tained any lines of communication
with bases established near our
shores. Our coast fortifications with
mines, with submarines and with
aircraft, would see .to it that no stray
ships came into our harbors. Mobile
troops composed largely of militia,
would be on hand for local defense to
see that no small detachments of the
enemy slipped ashore.
A system of .national defense or
ganized on this basis, concludes
General Hagood, could be establish
ed at no very great expense to the
taxpayers, and would completely
guarantee us against invasion. If
our soldiers stayed at home it would
save us many thousands of lives and
billions of dollars that would other
wise be expended foolishly in efforts
to settle the affairs of peoples of
whom we know little and care less.

FLOWER SHOW FRIDAY
Tho County Council of Farm Wo
men will hold their annual flower

stuffs for use in preparing lunches.
The WPA library is also located
at Boundary street school and has
over 600 books at the disposal of
readers.
The purpose of the library is first,
to encourage and stimulate, by dem
onstration, establishment of perma
nent library services; second, to
serve persons in the field untouched
by library services before WPA pro
jects were created; third, to help
established libraries extend their
services; fouih to keep books in re
pair so that they may stay in circu
lation. In the repair room at Boun
dary street school over 708,000 vol
umes have been rebound and repair
ed. The books are from various
places and are picked up and brought
here to be repaired.
At -the Pre-school play grounds
and kindergartens Children from
four to six years are enrolled. In
these school rooms are small tables
and chains attractively painted, and
appropriate picture are on the walls.
In the Molldhon school room is a
small sand table with the country of
Holland outlined, consisting of wind
mills, little Dutch girls and boys
playing an the lawn among the red
tulips which seem to cover the en
tire country.
At the Molldhon club house, the
Adult Department of Educaedon is
housed. The purpose of this depart
ment is to wipe out illiteracy in the
State, to reduce educational handi
caps, to create the desire for better
homes and raise the standards of
family life, to inspire independence
through self-respect, to develop a
greater social political and’ econimic
consciousness, to encourage partici
pation n community life, to promote
health and safety education.
The central office of the WPA is
located on lower Main street where
the sewing roam project is also lo
cated and where 23 busy women
make many kinds of garments. They
made 1,389 -garments for the local
hospital last year - , 700 for the county
home, 457 for the Housekeeping aid
unit, 400 uniforms for the worxers
of the lunch projects, 125 for the
Red Cross and 501 for flooded areas.
They also make clothing for needy
school children of the county. In
this building is also located the Home
Improvement project, where under-
iprivHedged are taught housekeeping
aids such as bed-making and cooking.
This training makes it possible for
them to secure private jobs.
At each of the projects visitors are
asked to register and are given a
souvenir.
About 2000 visitors are expected
to call at the projects during this
special week, which began May 20
and will close May 25.
ECHO FROM THE CONVENTION
Comes to the ears of The News ar-d
Courier from a Charlestonian who
was present at the state convention
that the most striking speech heard
in that body during its sessions, was
delivered by young Thomas H. Pope
of Newberry.—News and Courier.
Smith said that the total would be
around $350,000.
Detail of items was not immediate
ly available.
Yesterday was the 78th legislative
days of the session, leaving 38 days
already ' • be paid the legislators at
the rate of $10 a day, or a total of
$64,600. Legislators have generally
predicted sine die adjournment would
come a week from Saturday, which
would increase the total “extra pay”
by about $10,000.
Members have voted “extra pay”
toward the end of every recent ses
sion, inserting it, as a rule, in the
deficiency money bill. The compen
sation includes $10 a day per member
for all legislative days including
those perfunctory sessions—many of
which were held this year—at which
only' local and uncounted matters
were discussed with only a handful
of legislators present.
The constitution restricts legisla
tive compensation to a 40-day ses
sion. A 1920 act sets the amount at
$400 for each session.”

NEWBERRY ACTIVE IN CENSUS
An intensive drive is being made in
Newterry to avoid any possibility of
an inaccurate or low Census figure
for 1940. The chamber of commerce
is working hand in hand with enum
erators and Census authorities, and
it is expected that the combined ef
forts will uncover many names which
otherwise would not have been in
cluded in the count. Coupons and
articles 'have been run in the local
papers during the last few weeks,
keeping the public notified as to the
importance of reporting where names
have been missed. Following this,
general publicity articles were run in
last week’s papers announcing a plan
involving cooperation of schools and
school children. This week, printed
slips will be handed to every school
child in this locality, with the request
that the parents sign and return. Thri
slip carries questions whether or not
the family has been counted. At the
same time, the chamber of commerce
is widely publicizing an' offer of ten
cents per name to any school child
who brings in names of parties not
already enumerated. This ten cent
plan is expected to bring wice spread
results and the entire drive should
do much -toward assuring Newberry
of a proper count.

important meeting, Mr. Wells, is
head of Newberry’s No. 1 Service
Club—the fire department. His pres
ence at this meeting was evidence of
the fact that he is deeply interested
in all community activities which
are for the betterment of Newberry.
The census bureau has given out
the population of Newberry and the
figures show a population of 5,894, a
gain of 866 or 17.2 per cent in the
last ten years. That is a very good
showing and we are satisfied that
the people generally will accept these
figures as approximately correct.
Like other towns in this section the
greatest development has given the
increase in the population to the
suburbs where the industrial enter
prises as a rule are built. But these
figures show a healthy and steady
growth.

Columbia, May 20.—Operation of
“indecent tourist camps” was scored
today by Circuit Judge G. Duncan
Bellinger in his charge to the Rich
land county -grand jury.
Speaking of a case in, which some
tourist camp owners in the upper part
of the state were tried for “indecent”
operations, Bellinger said “I saw
girls sixteen, seventeen and eighteen
years of age whose bodies and souls
had been sold for a mere pittance of
fifty cents.”
He asserted that “such camps are
being operated merely as a place
wlheie the operators night enrich
themselves” and maintained that
“decent tourists camps should be pro
tected against the indecent type.”
Bellinger told the jurors that “as
Ic-rg as I am on the bench I shall,
never hesitate to bring such matters j James Smith
