FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1840 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE FIVE Society and CLUB NOTES By DORIS ARMFIELD IS THIS YOU? How many of you guessed last week’s description from the facts giv en? In case you didn’t it was Mr. Bill Smith, popular automobile deal er, who admitted that his favorite summer resort is Myrtle Beach. This week, instead of one, there will be two persons receiving ice cream from Stokes’ Drug Store, one with com pliments of Stokes’, the other with compliments of The Newberry Sun. You now have a better chance then ever of winning this delicious ice cream. This week’s first description is of a person everyone likes. He is a professor and a very familiar figure around Newberry, often seen riding in his blue car, almost invariably smoking his pipe. He was seen park ing his car in front of the Sun office Monday morning, wearing cream col ored striped pants and white shirt. Next on the list is a young lady just back from a vacation at the beach. She was seen buying carbon paper the first of the week. She wore an attractive striped dress, with a green backgro"nd. In her hair was tied a band matching her dress. She wore white shoes and was carrying a dark red pocketbook. If either of these descriptions fit you, be sure to come by the Sun of fice before next Wednesday and re ceive your coupon entitling you to a quart of ice cream from Stokes.

With the thermometer and patriot ism both flying high, hundreds of Newberrians gathered on Main street and at the train station Sunday morn ing to see off the boys of the local Coast Artillery unit who were leav ing for a three week’s encampment at Fort Moultrie, Charleston. They plan to return to the city August IT. This battery was organized late last fall with Tom Pope, Jr., as captain. As a temporary armory, one of the county fair buildings is being used, but plans are underway for an arm ory to be put up somewhere in or around or about the new county park, we understand. To Charlotte Eadh summer members of the Mol- lohon Mothers’ club make a trip to some nearby city and spend the day sightseeing. Last summer it was Au gusta and this year they went to Charlottle A bus full went up Sat urday and they were royally enter tained, the Pilot club of Charlotte be ing their hostesses. A luncheon was planned for them by the Pilots with a number of interesting speakers on the program. In the morning and afternoon they were shown about the city and last, but not at all in the least, they posed for their picture to be taken and it appeared in Sunday’s Charlotte paper as you may have noticed. More Complete You will probably not be able to find a park or recreation grounds any where more complete than the Mar garet Hunter park in our own city. And especially so when it comes to having a picnic or preparing a meal. All cooking and eating facilities are free to the pubic such as wood for the stove or barbecue pit, 100 plates, knives, forks, spoons, ice tea glasses and pots and pans necessary to cook a meal. But best of all, is the newly screened eating pavilion at the park which keeps flies on the outside while you’re having a good time on the In side. The pavilion and adjoining summer house were screened by the NYA boys at a cost of about two hundred dollars. A telephone call to the pool is all necessary to make res ervations for the use of the pavilion. There are many other summer houses in the park available at all times NOTICE OF SCHOOL BUS CONTRACT LETTING 2.

The occasion was facing the photographer in smart new uniforms that had been donned for the first time. Whether or ~';t the band boys have made a public ap pearance since then in their new dress we don’t know but we are looking forward to seeing them sometime late this month when they will appear at the county park formal opening “res plendent in their new bright blue uniforms” as someone has put it. The mill band, directed by J. S. Pruitt, gives an interesting hour’s program each Saturday evening at the Willow- brook park from eight until nine o’clock. Annual Event A summer event that many look forward to each year it the Newberry College Reunion at Little Mountain. This year’s reunion will be held Fri day of this week with all the usual prominent Newberry college alumni on hand. Dinner will be served as customary and brief talks made. Pres ident Kinard is planning an interest ing program to be announced this week. Our Section Best A couple from New Jersey were in the city last week attending a wed ding. It was their first trip to the south. It was one of those hot sultry days we’ve been having recently and everyone in the room was fanning and making general complaints about the weather. The couple seemed to be taking it all unconcernedly. When asked if they didn’t find it hot here they said they had never before ex perienced such weather but they found nothing to do but grin and bear it. When queried as to the principal dif ference of life in the northern and southern states, the man from New Jersey promptly spoke up saying that Southerners were living while North erners were only existing, and ex pressed his delight in the way we took things slow, as he put it, and enjoy every moment of living. So when all is said and done, there’s no doubt of the fact that we’re living in the most desirable part of the U. S. A. and the world as far as that goes, goes. WE’LL FEEL SAFER IN ’41, SAYS CHIEF NORFOLK, Va., July 29.—Presi dent Roosevelt wound up a personal inspection tour of the “outer de fenses” of the national capital today with an assertion that the chances of success of another invasion would “depend entirely on when it came and who it was.” “A year from now,” he remarked, “we are going to feel a whole lot safer.” He had passed a blistering hot day observing how some of the enormous expenditures for defense were being put to use in the Norfolk area and then summed it up as a “good eye demonstration of what we have been doing for national defense since last summer.” At the army’s key eastern air bai at Langley Field, he said in an in formal chat with reporters, facilities and activities have been quadrupled in the last three years. At the fleet operating base at Norfolk, the Norfolk navy yard and at the privately-owned Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock company, he added, work has jumped about 60 per cent in the last year. “Those are conservative estimates”, the President declared. “This is just the beginning. We are going to see a lot more before we get through.” Mr. Roosevelt was asked whether today’s check-up on defense opera tions might be considered the fore runner of more to come at other navy yards. “Oh, yes,” he replied. 1939-1940 NOTICE of School Meeting The Trustees of the Newberry School District No. One will make their annual report to the citizens of the District in the Court House Wednesday morning, August 7th, at 10 o’clock.
