FRIDA*. MAY 31, 1940 Enrollment Notice PAGE TWO 1218 College Street Newberry, S. C. O. F. ARMFIELD Editor and Publisher One Year fl.00 Published Every Friday Entered as second-class matter December 6, 1937, at the post office at Newberry, South Carolina, under the Act March 3, 1879. Columbia Letter Columbia, May 27.—There is no certainty that South Carolina will get one of the new National guard air squadrons just authorized by the war department but the prospects are considered good. The argument is that such squad rons are more effectively developed in the South where year-’round fly ing is possible. What is more the efficiency of the South Carolina guard is well known in Washington, where, of course, the decision will be made. Only eight squadrons are to be established. They will go to eight of twenty-eight states. South Carolina was quick to qual ify—that is, to do the first thing required of a prospective state. Governor Burnet R. Maybank and Brigadier General James C. Dozier, the state adjutant general, moved quickly when the news came from Washington that the squadrons would be established. It was necessary for South Caro lina to be able to say it would pro vide 8250,000. This would be used to construct hangars, warehouses, munitions magazines, quarters for officers and men, etc. Quickly, au thority was obtained from the gen eral assembly for the governor and the adjutant general to notify the war department that South Carlonia would do this. That is where the matter stands now. The first step has been taken as far as South Carolina’s necessary action is concerned. SHOULD this state be selected for one of the eight new squadrons, it would be provided with eigh teen planes. Fourteen would be $50,- 000 bombing planes. There would be three short-range liason ships for communications work, and one would be a transition-type plane, for train ing purposes. The squadron would have a per sonnel of thirty-one officers and 110 enlisted men. In addition, there would be twenty-one fulltime federal caretakers. These would be mech anics and helpers. A total of $3,000 a month would be provided by the war department to pay these men. Counting pay for the entire squad ron, the yearly payroll would be $61,000 a year. The war department would 'pro vide, in addition to the planes, full equipment, such as cameras, „ ma chine guns, trucks and portable field lighting equipment. IF THIS STATE gets one of the squadrons, it would first use one of the regular commercial airports in the state as a base, pending the pro vision of a regular base for it. General Dozier is now engaged in assembling data about South Caro lina airports to send to Washington. The war department would deter mine which of the existing fields would be used until a permanent base should be established for the squadron. As a matter of fact, General Do zier has for some years been at tempting to have an air squad pro vided for the state’s guard. He al ready had on hand considerable in formation now being asked by the wag department. This fact'ls expected to be in South Carolina’s favor, for this state will be able to have the facts before the war department in jig time. THE ADDITION erf an air squad ron to the guard in this state would bring the first training of South Carolina officers and men in the new air warfare. It would be on a rela tively small scale, but it would be the real tiling. There would be no scarcity of fliers. General Dozier has found that there are many more men avail able, men who are experinced fliers, than would be needed to fill the places. In the meantime, the existing regiments of South Carolina guard are preparing for the most exten sive peacetime maneuvers in history. All units, except the 263rd. Coast ar tillery regiment, will go to Mississ ippi and Texas in August for the war games of the Third army. Go ing to these maneuvers will be the 118tth infantry regiment and the 178th field artillery, together with this state’s part of tjie 105th quart ermaster regiment. All told, 2,600 officers and men will go. The 263rd. Coast artillery, now swelled to 1,000 officers and men will train at Fourt Moultrie, Charleston, as usual. This year all guardsmen will have three weeks of training in stead of two. Notice is hereby given that the County Executive committee of the Democratic party met on Saturday, May 25, 1940, and fixed the fees to be paid by the candidates. Under the rules of the party all candidates must pay the assessment and file the required pledges by 12 noon, June 15th. Notice is further given that there will be a new enrollment this year.

SCOUTING Another Monday rolls around and “wa da ya think”- —I bet you can guess—to be sure nothing but an other scout meeting. Now for a few “theses and thoses” among the Mol- lohoti' Girl Scouts' who held their reg- ulor meeting at the scout room on May 27. ’Twas a very good and very interesting meeting, everything carried out in a tip top way. After the roll was called and the minutes of last meeting read and approved, scripture was read and a prayer was offered by Sara Reeves, a very nice one I’ll say. All the financial business was taken care of. Well, after all that the committee was asked to adjourn from the room where a delightful talk was going full sway on the subject of, it may seem funny, but the thruths the ruth, “Old Maids.” I think every one enjoyed it very much because there was a lot of laughs from every one on the committee, and by the way, Ruth, what was it you wanted to tell us on the subject, Oh, well, all this was going on while our Captain was talking to the girls on different subjects something that has turned up in the scouts that nothing much but we had to put it over and here is to be new rules in the scouts starting with last night. 1. You can onlybe absent once a month unless sickness or something else . turns up. 2. Only 20c back dues allowed. That’s what I call a pretty good ruling. Oh, yeah! don’t forget your excuse for not being present. So so for that, and all that, then we had the compass explained in such a way that even I understood it for the first time. Of course I’ve had it explained before but I’ve never understood how I could find my way with one of those things, but I do believe I could now. Then we started on some “code system.” I don’t know much about it but I think it will be one of the most in teresting things we have done yet. The discussion of where we will go on a camping trip this summer is still being brought up and well I guess it will till we have definitely decided but it seems they all want to go back where they were last summer. Then a discussion of the courses offered at the University was talked about. Everyone in scouts seemed to be very quiet last night, I don’t know why because we had one of the larg est attendances than we have had in a long time. Sister Willis’ complain ing about going to summer school. Tis a shame that you didn’t study while in school on that algebra Sis ter, now it will be six weeks this summer. Margaret McCarty seemed almost too quiet for some reason or other, maybe she is beginning to like “Tom” too mudh. “Who knows?” By the way, we have two, “as to say” dignified seniors in our troop, Misses Paralee Turner and Elizabeth Boozer. Say, they don’t look so dig nified to me. “Dignified, my eye!” Just a “winder up” saying that there are patr >1 meetings Wednesday at four o’clock and everyone is ex pected to be present. To my sur prise, and everyoone else’s we had eats. Candy, and apples, and boy o, boy, were they good. That’s about all I have to report on Mondays meeting, so till next time, I’ll just say “so long, everybody, keep smiling, won’t you?” SUMMER CULLING WILL SAVE POULTRY PROFITS With the present high feed prices and relatively low egg prices, culling or sorting out the summer loafers is very important if profits already made with poultry are to be retain ed, says County Agent P. B. Ezell. At the present time 100 birds out of production in a flock for a month will cost the poultryman approxi mately $20, he declares. Pointing out that the most impor tant time to cull the entire flock systematically is during the summer months', the agent advises that birds which go out of production during this period should be marketed since they usually will not lay again un til they have completed the molt in the fall. The late molters are usually the best layers and will come back into production just as soon as those that molt early. EXAMINATION FOR RURAL ROUTE CARRIER AT KINARDS The Civil Service commission has announced an examination to fill the position of carrier on Kinard’s lone rural route. The examination will be held here sometime after June 14, the date by which those wishing to stand must submit their applications. The carrier at Kirards has reached the retirement age, hence the exami nation. \ i n i, rsc.TT dERRY SUN Items From St. Philips I am going to give a brief sketch of the Lutheran church. Europe is 50 per cent. Lutheran. You remem ber in Finland when the Red Coats were destroying 90 per cent, of the people were Lutherans. There was only one Lutheran church left, and that was the capital, Helsinki. You remember that Martin Luther was the founder of the Lutheran church; that he was a Roman Catholic. His intention was to make some change in the religion. (The big change he wanted to make was to take over the Pope’s job. Luther was as in tolerant as most other churchmen in his day.—Ed.) His great name goes on and he is the founder of the great church I love. I don’t mean that I don’t love the ether churches but the Lutheran church is the one dear to me. The farmers have been very busy hoeing cotton and I think most of them will finish this week. I heard a traveling man say the other day that crops around heie looked better than any he had seen. One evening while walking along a beautiful thought^ came to me. The sun was shining beautifully and the soft air was coming from the South; the birds were sounding their sweet notes and the peaceful thought came to me: What a peaceful time we are having compared to the people in Europe. Oh, how sweet it would be if peace could continue, but I’m afraid it can’t. The little son of ifar. and Mrs. E. E. Epting who was carried 'to the hospital Saturday, is doing much bet ter.
