i Every Week More People Read The Sun VOLUME 3; NO. 37 The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1940 Slider and Greneker—1856-1860 OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE (Written shortly after Col. Lind- berg’s return to this country.) By Frank Parker Stockbridge LINDY fame It is just about twelve years ago now that a tall, slender young man flew out of the West in a plane named “The Spirit of St. Louis”, and landed at Roosevelt Field, Long Island, where half a dozen other air men had gathered all bent on trying to make the first non-stop flight from New York to Paris, for which a $25,000 prize had been offered by Raymond Orteig, a New York hotel man. Nobody had ever heard of Charles A. Lindbergh and he didn’t say much about himself. Air experts were expecting that a Navy flier named Dick Byrd, or a chap named Clarence Chamberlain, would win the prize. “Lindy” started off alone at 8 o’clock in the morning of May 20, and arrived in Paris at 5:20 the following afternoon. The young flyer’s feat gave American aviation an impetus which has put this country into first place in air travel. It also brought him would-wide fame, which he never expect'd and did not welcome, and which was responsible for one of the most tragic events which could oc cur to any man, the kidnapping and murder of his baby son. HERO criticism “Lindy” never wanted to be a hero, disliked and still dislikes pub lic acclaim. But when public attention had been attracted by his famous flight, he could not keep out of the lime light. Government aviation authori ties and commercial flying interests who asked who this young man was, discovered that he was probably the best-trained flyer in America, a graduate of the hard Army flying school at Kelly Field, a Lieutenant- Colonel in the Army Air Reserve and an airmail pilot with a remarkable record. It was inevitable that he should be called into consultation by the Army and by commercial airlines, when they found that he was not merely a reckless “stunt” flyer but a highly-educated aviation engineer, with a background that commanded respect. He has been a member of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics since it was organized, technical adviser to important air lines and a confidential adviser to the Government on military aviation for years. Because he is not a talkative per son, and resents intrusions on his private, personal life, Lindy has been more bitterly criticized by little-minded and envious people than any other man in recent times. PRIVACY fear I have always found myself in complete sympathy with Col. Lind bergh’s desire to keep his personal and family affairs to himself. After the brutal kidnapping and murder of his first-born son the Colonel and his wife lived in terror of strangers intruding on their priv acy. When news photographers tried to shove their cameras through the car -window to photograph their sec ond son, Jon, they could not stand it any longer. Col. Lindbergh told a friend that he was afraid of what he might do to some such intruder, so he took him wife and child to England to live in a country where private rights are still respected. After their third son was born in England, and the Colonel had found a new outlet for his engineering gen ius in helping the great French- American scientist. Dr. Alexis Carrel, in developing the “artificial heart” for the study of cell growth in ani mals they moved to an island off the French Coast, close to the home of Dr. Carrel, The newspaper reported that Lindy had been in Russia and Germany in specting military air equipment. What they did know was that he was on an official mission for the United States Army, and many print ed articles accusing him of having become a traitor to his country. ADVISER valuable Now Col. Charles Augustus Lind bergh has been called back to this country, to active service in the Army Air Corps, as adviser to the War Department on how to build up the fighting strength of our air force. Already he has given the sound ad vice that it is more important to build the best planes than to build a large number of inferior planes. In a time like this when the prob lem of national defense overshadows everything else in official circles, this seems to me like a wise move on the part of the Government. The prestige of Lindy’s reputation, added to his unexcelled knowledge of flying and of plane construction, is probably of greater value to the nation than anything which could be contributed by any other one man. I cannot believe that America is going to be involved in war, no mat ter what happens in Europe. The best way to assure our security, how ever is to prepare our defense ag- Enrollment for Primary Closes Fourth Tuesday War has apparently overshadowed politics in these parts for almost no- one has bothered to enroll for the pri maries. Up to the first of the week only 60 out of a possible 800 had en rolled in Ward 2. Ward 1 boasted 20 out of more than 300, and so it was in other books over the city, and it is said that it is even worse out In the country. Voters should remember that if they wish to vote they must enroll, and do it before the fourth Tuesday in this month which is the 23rd. No former enrollment or registration counts for the summer primaries. There has been a practice of carry ing the books around each year but this may not be the case this year, therefore to be on the safe side every one should go to the books and en roll. C. of C. Interested In County As A Whole Did you ever stop to think that the Newberry chamber of commerce is really designed to serve the entire county? Did you know that the Con stitution and By-Laws of the organi zation state that its purpose is the general betterment “of Newberry County?” Has it occurred to you that practically all of the activities of our local chamber benefit every person within the bounds of New berry county? Yes, it’s all true. What’s more, the chamber of commerce will try to prove in the coming year that it is sincerely interested in the welfare of every town and rural section of our entire county, for its Directors rea lize that ‘what helps Newberry Coun ty helps Newberry’, and vice versa. County people will be glad to learn, too, that there is no “nigger in the woodpile” in efforts of the Newberry chamber. As proof, let’s look at a few things in which the C of C has had at least a small helpful hand: The local National Guard unit is certain ly an asset to the entire county. Newberry college is a credit to the eptire county, and everyone benefits to some degree by its active summer school session. Which the C of C backs by entertaining summer students. The Publicity Tours through textile plants and the Sumter National For est was definitely and wholly a coun ty project. The County Agricultural Building project is similar, and was enthusiastically backed by the C of C which co-ordinated efforts of the var ious bodies instigating the project. The Barley Contest under supervision of the County Agents received help and cooperation from the C of C which gave prizes to winners. Widen ing. of highways and efforts to obtain better surfacing of roads surely serves the county. These are but a few of the activities helpful to the area. So we say: Keep your eyes open for future efforts of your chamber of commerce to weld the interests of Newberry County closer together. There are many good towns besides Newberry, and it will be proven by the City of Friendly Folks that close harmony and unity in working out our mutual problems will build us a finer section in which to live, farm, and do business. Earl Bullock, Jr., spent the weekend for Ohapiu where she will visit in Spartanburg with his uncle, Mr. Roy Frick. Bill Turner, L. C. Graham, Henry Fellers and Gordon Clarkson left Newberry Wednesday night for Ye- masse, where they will spend Thurs day the Fourth on a fishing trip. PROTECT WATERFRONT Charleston, July 3. — At a meet ing of shipping men today in the port utilities commission office, precau- tonary measures were discussed to see that Charleston’s waterfront is protected from sabotage or other sub versive acts. 17,000 IN A YEAR In last week’s issue we stated that Adams’ camp had fed 17,000 persons since opening. Mr. Adams wishes us to correct this to say that this figure represented the number of people who ate at the camp last year. The regis ter at the camp showed that more than 25,000 people visited there last year. Mr. Adams asks that all his friends be informed that he is grate- ful for their patronage. ainst the most dangerous point of attack, which is from the air. HOME background Returning to Washington must seem to Col. Lindbergh like revisit ing the scenes of his childhood. Few people remember that he was brought up in the Nation’s capital. When he was five years old his fath er was elected to Congress from Min nesota and served for ten years. The boy Lindbergh went to the Washing ton schools, and learned the city as only a boy could learn the town he lives in. After his father left Congress, in 1917, Lindy finished his schooling at the Little Falls, Minnesota, high school, then took the mechanical en gineering course in the University of Wisconsin and went from there to the Army flying school. Back Taxes Show 42 Per Cent Gain A forty-two per cent, increase was shown in the collection of delinquent taxes for the year ending June 30, over the same period of last year, it was announced by Claude W. San ders, Tax Collector. A total of $69,220.79 was collected last year, or a gain of $20,795.35 over the proceeding year. Mr. Sanders said the gain could be attributed to improved business conditions gener ally. From information just issued by the State showing delinquent tax conditions, Mr. Sanders said Newber ry county was in favorable condition as compared to other counties. WINTER PEAS AVAILABLE County Agent P. B. Ezell advises that Austrian Winter Peas have been made available to Newberry County Producers as a grant of aid under the 1940 Agricultural Conservation Pro gram. The rate of deduction for Austrian Peas will be five dollars per hundred weight delivered at the spe cified railhead in the county. Practi cally the same procedure and forms used in obtaining limestone as a grant of aid will be used for request ing Austrian Peas. Producers desiring to place orders for Austrian Winter Peas should do so at once, either with the County Office or with measuring supervisors who are now checking acreage in the field.

' Hitler Paper Warns The New World Berlin, July 3. — Germany tonight issued a sensational warning to Latin America that the new world will suf fer commercially after the war if it does not cooperate with the Reich now. The admonition appeared in Chan cellor Hitler’s own newspaper, Voel- kischer Beobachter, which blamed the United States for the attitude being taken in Latin America. Hitler’s paper said. “With the immigration of Jews— for whom there soon will be no room in Europe—and interventionist pro- poganda in the United States increas ing, part of the Latin American press has become engaged in anti-German agitation. “So far we have kept silent, be cause we do not want to interfere with domestic conditions in other states, and because we understand war must be aired somewhere—al though we believe that Latin Ameri ca ought first to reproach the French and British. “But the South American press has been so much abused as an outlet for dissatisfaction that it is time to is sue a warning. “In spite of President Roosevelt’s attempts to organize something like an anti-European block, sensible Cen tral and South American circles can not but realize that the Latin Ameri can republics after the end of the war, will be dependent on a Europe reor ganized by Germany for sales, and not, vice versa. “Germany will never forget where in this world it could count on true and loyal friends in the fight against the British oppressor, and where it met with malevolence, lack of reason and impudence.” MT.
