Every Week More People Read The Sun The Sun Strives To Serve The Whole People VOLUME 3; NO. 34 The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1940 SUder and Greneker—1856-1860 $1 PER YEAR OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE BARBECUE BY NEW FOLKS About everybody else in the county has given a barbecue at one time or smother, and now eoinos the Civic League with the announcement that they have succumbed and will offer one of the best yet on next Wednes day at Margaret Hunter park, begin ning at noon, that is, twelve o’clock, and continuing until everyone is full. The league never does things by halves and you may expect one of the best of the thousands of good New berry county barbecues. Come, by all means. George Koon is going to cook it, and the profit will go to some good 1 league objective. HARE GOT EDUCATION THE HARD WAY Representative Butler B. Hare ad dressing the House the other day made this reference to bolster a point he was making: “You will par don this personal illustration, but I can well remember that following my second year in college the ability to remain there was contingent upon raising 50c per week, or $25 per year, It is not necessary to explain the outcome in detail but I desire to say for the record I have never been the beneficiary of a favor which has com manded a more sincere and more last ing gratitude than the favor of that friend who was willing to make a sacrifice and provide me wth the $25 necessary to continue my college work.” Thomas H. Pope On Preparedness Group A concurrent resolution by the re cent general assembly, providing a committee for the purpose of “con ferring with the President of the United States or any department of the Federal government in furnishing all cooperation that the State of South Carolina can give in the nat ional preparedness program” was act ed upon favorably, and among the committee members is Thomas H. Pope of this city. Other members are Gov. Maybank, Representative Roddey, and Senators Brown and Mo- zinigo. NEWBERRY LIONS SELECT OFFICERS IT’S NONE OF OUR WAR Local opinion seems to be that Mr. Roosevelt went a little too far when he took a slam at the Italian dicta tor. It is the privilege of us small minds to pop off in such fashion, to show our anger, but men in high places are supposed to be able to suppress their anger and look at things in the light of cool reason. Our people are being carried too far on the path of war and stangely enough congress is about as guilty as the president. The whole outfit seems to have gone into a frenzy. All this haste and bustle seems to me to be a sign of weakness. I won der if Hitler doesn’t think we are deathly afraid of him. He has every reason to think it. We should calmly, and without waste of time, set about to put our house in order. We should have less talk and more action. Why should the dictators know the last detail of what we intend to do-? Let the pre«s get along with Walter Windhell and Dorothy Dix awhile, and let the Washington officials who glory in is suing statements go to work. Let’s have done with this foolish talk of invasion; talk designed to ■whip the people into a state of panic and make them pliable to the will of the war makers. A month ago we were saying that we had no place in the European squabble; that we learned our lesson 20-ond years ago when 50,000 of our young men went to their death in the so-called fight for democracy, and other hundreds of thousands were broken in health from the hardships of war. We made that fight for democracy but England and France, and parti cularly England, were too greedy to preserve it. They allowed Germany to become strong in order to trade with her and now they want us to fight their battles again. All the world knows that England and France, or either of them for that matter, could have kept Hitler from rearming the German people. They knew what was going on inside the German empire. In fact both of them sold Germany some of the im plements of war now being used against them. They sold the Czechs, with a mil lion well trained men and great muni tions works, down the river. They have muddled the whole thing and now they want the cream of Ameri can manhood to come over there in their gory mess- and save them. It would be interesting to know just what part J. P. Morgan, (who is more British than American) is tak ing in the great effort to -push us into war. The House of Morgan has hundreds of millions of dollars in British and French investments. The rich have always made the wars and the poor have always fought them. Ninety iper cent of the college professors over the nation who are yelling for intervention are either too oM or too decrepit to fight, but by radio and press they are doing their damdest to get us into the slaughter. If the fighting had to come from them you wouldn’t hear a chirp. And they prate about saving the democracies. What kind of a demo cracy is England? Just what brand of democracy is it that keeps the four hundred million people of India in slavery and piles millions into the coffers of the British government and into the pockets of puppet rulers who keep their places at the point of British bayonets? What kind of de mocracy is it whole the royal ruling class own everything that is worth owning and pass it down from gen- At the last meeting of the Lions club -the following were elected mem bers of the board of directors: G K.

Chamber Poised For Membership Drive The entire membership of the Newberry Chamber of Commerce will get together Monday, June 24 at 8 p. m. for their semi-annual banquet. Arrangements were made fen - this celebration last wtek when the Mem bership Committee held its first meet ing. It was agreed one year ago that the affair would be made semi annual, and the committee expects that members will enjoy rubbing el bows, and this year carry away memories of an evening equally as enjoyable as the last. The Membership Committee, head ed by Mr. E. A. Carpenter, has ap pointed a subcommittee composed of Hal Kohn and President Ned Purcell to handle details of the banquet for Monday -night. The food will be ex cellent, entertainment good, talks short and -snappy, business a mini mum. President E. B.

Announcements and invitations go out this weekend, the hour and place to be made known at the same time. PRAYER SERVICES FOR WORLD PEACE Clinic Assured For Check On Health Through the efforts of Senator M. E. Abrams, the county will shortly have a clinic where servants may se cure examinations free of charge. Senator Abrams explained that there has been a need for such a clinic and that through investigation he had found that Newbery was en titled to more than she was receiving from the State health board. The clinic comes as a direct re sult of the Senator’s conference with the State board, and the set-up car ries with it an additional nurse to direct the work. The work is slated to get under way shortly .

CARE OF MILK IN THE HOME In leaving the milk bottles alt- your home in the morning the milkman finishes his job and his I'esponsibility ends states J. L. King, assitant coun ty agent. It is- up to you to see that the care which has been taken -to bring the milk to you clean, cold and quickly is- then continued until it is used. Mr. King points out that all the effects of bad milk, can be pro duced by carelessness with good milk after it gets to the home. These rules should always -be followed; 1. Have a special place for the mi’k to be left, preferably in a box j where it is- protected from eats, dogs ‘ flies and the sun. 2. Take in the milk as soon as pos- s-ble after it is delivered and place it at once on ice or in the refrigera tor. 3. Do not remove the bottles from the refrigerator or the milk from the bottles until it is needed for use. 4. With a sterile cloth wipe the mouth of the battle or wash it before pouring out the milk. 5. Be sure all receptacles for milk are clean. 6. Pour out from the bottle only such milk as is needed for immediate use and return what is left at once to the refrigerator. 7. Keep the bottles covered in the refrigerator and do not put them near fish, onions, or other things with an odor. Milk readily absorbs flav ors and the taste is spoiled. 8. Under no condition give to child ren milk that is old or slightly turn ed. Sour milk can be very well used in cooking. 9. Wash the bottles thoroughly af ter they are used! Retur.i proptly to the milkman. JOLLY STREET BALL CLUB ENTERTAINED to After losing a hard fought game Chapin Saturday on the latter’s round by a score of 9-6. The club and a few fans journeyed to Walt Richardson’s cabin on Lake M rray for a real feast. As the club and fans arrived at the cabin and saw the menu they soon forget all about the defeat from Chapin. We feel that all enjoye! the meal end had a grand time. Many thanks we extend to Walter. Keep this in mind: Jolly Street will he in there after Prosperity Satur day. ST. PHILIPS ITEMS eration to generation? Mr. Churchill has already given the world and the British people a hint of what will happen when Mr. Hitler begins to crowd their little island. The whole royal outfit will load them selves on the British fleet and sail for the safety of Canada. They will not stay and suffer the fate of their people. Royalty thru all history has always taken to its heels in the face of danger, and the yellow r.treak is there today as much as it ever was. We hate Hitler and all that he stands for, and we would like to see the allied: nations win, but if we real ly want to preserve democracy let us stay out of this struggle. We all know the blow the last world war gave our form of government and to weaken it now by participation in the war would mean that we would ne’ er again enjoy the freedom we have known. America needs to be strong, so strong that no foreign aggresor will even look this way; and what is equally important, strong enough to keep our own house in order. Farmers are now very busy gath ering grian. The cotton and corn in this section shows great improve ment, following rains of Sunday night. Mrs. Duane Gidiam has been con fined to her bed for several days but is better at this writing. Mr. W. B. Lominick has been crit ically ill we regret to learn, and hope that he is better now. Mrs-. R. L. Ruff, who has been con fined to her- bed is much better at this writing. I believe that is- all I know on the sick list and I hope they will all soon be well and enjoying health again. BOWERS-MORRIS Miss Margaret Elizabeth Bowers was married to Mr. Hoyt Eugene Morris at the residence of the offi ciating minister, the Rev. J. B. Har man, on June 8, in the presence of several friends and relatives. Mrs. Morris is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Evans Bowers, of Prosperi ty, route two and Mr. Morris is a son of Mr. and Mrs. B. Joseph Morris of Newberry route three. Their residence will be on route three, Newberry, where he is engag ed in farming. MeCARTY-McCARTY Miss Kathleen McCarty was mar ried to Mr. Travis Jackson McCarty at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Mayes on' Jefferson street, Newberry, by the Rev. J. B. Harman, in the presence of a host of friends and relatives. The ring ceremony was used. Mrs. McCarty is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Luther McCarty of Lees- ville and is a graduate of the Bates- burg-Leesville High school. Mr. Mc Carty is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben F. McCarty of Montgomery street and is a graduate of Newberry High school. He holds a good position in Darlington where they will make their -home. met at the Newberry Abattoir by in vitation of the Newberry Abattoir management. These committees re presented the Newberry County Board of Health, the Newberry City Coun cil, and the Newberry Civic League. Strother Paysinger, who was host to the guests explained in detail the abattoir set up and operation. The three committees were very enthus iastic concerning the culmination of this fine project for the City of New berry, Newberry Co-. nty, ' and all near by cities and "tftwns wishing to enjoy meat butchered and stored un der the regulations of the State Board of Health, Dr. James A. Hayne, Director. The Civic League appreciates the cooperation of the City Council in their willingness to join with the county and set up a Newberry Coun ty Board of Health and pass regu lations to assure an abattoir. Dr. Ben F. Wyman, director of County Health Departments in the state and Dr. Claud Sease, director of the Newberry County Health Department addressed the women of Newberry at an open meeting of the Civic, League more than a year ago relative to the need of a County Board of Health and a Newberry Abattoir. Dr. Claud Sease has been untiring in his efforts to establish Oounty-wide health work directed by a County Board. After the necessary action: was taken by the City Council and the Legislative Delegation the prestnt County Board of Health was appointed consisting of Dr. Hugh Sewn, chairman; Dr. H. B. Thomas and Dr. Keister Wheeler. This arrangement is proving most satisfactory. With the opening of the Newberry Abattoir three organizations are to be congratulated, the Newberry Coun ty Health Department, the City Council and the Civic League. These organizations have worked together clearing all obstacles in the way for what is now the very best health set up we have ever had in Newberry county. Attention is called to the fact that the city council is contributing $2400 per year toward this Better Health Program. Also the fact that Dr. Hugh Sewn, the present chairman of the County Board of Health is most familiar with the health needs of Newberry County, having served as director of the County Health Depart ment for several years. The Civic League has spent much time and -thought in their efforts for a better health program. Visitors to the Abattoir will find -sanitary pens ready for the stock un til slaughtered. After the stock goes up the gang way to be slaughtered and handling from then on is done entirely by machinery. The meat is placed in the chill room for a certain period of time and from there it pass es into the -storage room. These rooms are equipped with the most modern machinery and refrigeration, which means a big out lay of money on the part of the men who have made the abattoir possible. These men are Willie L. Harmon, President; Thad McCrackin, Secretary; Strother Paysinger, Treasurer; and Ray Fea- gle, manager. All meats consumed in the City of Newberry after June 17th Will be butcheied at the Abbatoir according to a Newberry City Ordinance. De livery will be made to markets by the abattoir management in a white truck. The meats on the inside of the truck will be covered with a shroud cloth as a protection against dust. All employees ofc. the abattoir have passed a rigid physical exami nation. Their health certificates will be posted in the abattoir. Besides the great good that can come to Newberry from the enjoy- Sitc Being Sought For A Flying Field Every effort is being made by Newberry officials and interested citizens, according to the Chamber of Commerce to make proper ar rangements for a Government Flying Field here. A meeting to discuss this project was held in the Chamber of Commerce offices at 10:30 Monday morning, attended by officials of the county, the town, the chamber of commerce, the forest service and in terested citizens:. Several possible locations for such a flying field are being considered. However, due to the fact that gov ernment specifications for CAA fields, training student pilots, are very rig id, the initial problem wll be to lo cate a field wth proper characteristics as to general lay of the land, drain age and prevailing winds. First steps to be taken by the com mittee in charge will be location of a proper site. It is the request of this group that local citizens and landowners keep in mind the impor tance of a flying field to Newberry and Newberry county and that all cooperation be given the committees. When landowners- are approached, it is hoped that they will give every consideration to the possibility of disposing of any necessary part of their property ior this work. Local Textile Plant Goes On Extra Time Mollohon mills- will begin operation of some 400 looms next week on a third shift, according to Manager Wilton Todd. The extra work will give employment to some 30 or 40 people, mostly wives, daughter’s and sons of present employees. This step- up in production is no doubt a direct result of the country’s great prepar- adness program. Mollohon mak°s gauze cloth as well as other fabrics which might be used in some phase of war or preparadness. PROGRAM FOR SCHOOL WORKERS On next Tuesday, June 18th, there will be an interesting program pre sented to demonstrate the use and value of aodi-visual aids to learning.

KENDALL MILLS LUTHERAN Rev. J. B. Harman, Pastor CREAMERY PAYS OUT NEAR $35,000 YEARLY $165,456.90 have been paid to New berry County farmers by the Newber ry Creamery for 761,254 pounds of butterfat during the last five years, according to J. L. King, assistant county agent. The operation of this creamery in Newberry county has- done much to encourage farmers to keep a few dairy cows thus not only giving the farmers a weekly cash income, but permitting them to use the skim milk in raising out poultry, pigs and cal ves. Mr. King says that skim milk and yellow corn makes an excellent lay ing ration for hens. That skim milk is als6 an excellent supply of animal protein and calcium for all forms of livestock. Many Newberry county farmers are finding a ready market for surplus animals which bring good prices when they are out of good cows and sired by well bred males. BREMER TO TALK AT CHARLESTON MEETING Secretary of the chamber of com merce Ted Bremer is in Charleston today where he went to attend a meeting of the South Carolina Sec retaries association. Mr. Bremer is on the program for a talk. His sub ject is “Program of Work” and; deals with an effort being made to set up in this state units of the Business Aid cline. The clinics are being sponsor ed by the Community Development Institute which holds a state wide -meeting at Charleston. Dr. and Mrs. F. O. Lamoreux of Batesburg were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Wallace last Sunday. Mrs. Jesse Mayes and daughter, Caroline and Mrs. Sallde Bell Miller spent several days last week at Myr tle Beach, ment of sanitary meats, the farmers of Newberry Oounty will have a quick market for their stock. It is the plan of the abattoir management to have a stock yard where farmers may bring their surplus stock in for quick delivery. With the stock yard already in operation in Helena by Herman S. Langford, the farmers should be able to market surplus stock quickly. The Civic League wishes to com mend the management of the New berry Abattoir, the City Council headed by Mr. Earhardt, and the County Health Department for hav ing made possible a project which the Civic League has been deeply inter ested in for many years.
