NOTES

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.

NEWBERRY, S. C.
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

county-wide groups to use the park at
any time. _
New Uniforms
Underneath all those brilliant blue
uniforms that could be seen late one
afternoon not so long ago on Zach
Wright’s lawn were members of the
Newberry Mill band. 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.
