Every Week More People Read The Sun The Sun Strives To Serve The Whole People VOLUME 3; NO. 42 The Rising sun-isse-isw NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1940 Slider and Greneker—185S-1860 $1 PER YEAR OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE EATING AT THE NYA HOME Mrs. Mamie Summer had a few of us leading lights out at the NYA home Saturday for dinner. I say lead ing lights, for when you are included with Zach Wright in a dinner invita tion you are entitled to the prestige which goes along with it. Dr. and Mrs. Able were there, as were Mrs Eloise Wright, Mrs. Herman Wright, Mrs. Don Rook. The object of the visit of this slice of Newberry’s uppercrust was to wit ness the effect of training of a group of Negro girls, and to partake of the viands they had prepared for us There was friend chicken, crisp and brown, big slabs of tender boiled ham rice, gravy, salad, rolls, all topped off with a sherbert made of buttermilk This sherbert was something new to me but it registered well with my palate, accompanied as it was with two big pieces of cake; one plain and the other layer. The training the Negro girls had received was evident, both in the pre paration of the meal and in the serv ing. Not once did one stick her el bow in my eye, and in fact you hard ly knew they were about until one of them confronted you with a heap ing plate of chicken or ham. These girls are from the Clinton training home for servants which is a NYA project and it is said that they are in great demand. Dr. Able and Mr. Wright are all for getting such a home here and I agree that it would be a fine thing. Amid the pleasantries Zach Wright got off on the subject of women, which of course was to be expected. He said he didn’t see why or how any one could go thru life without the companionship of good women. Zach is particularly blessed in this respect. He has the love and companionship of good women without being on the receiving end when brickbats begin to fly. Zach is a sort of lover-at- large, who roams the range in quest of sweet smiles, gets them arid moves on to a new user of Ipana. That’s all right but its kinda like salt which has lost its savor. One of the beauties of having one of your own to dominate is that it gives one a sense of superiority. In the featured address of the day I remarked that my interest in wo men was perfunctory, but that I was completely sold on the fine work be ing done in the NYA homes for under- priviliged girls. The girls are here taught many things which make life more worth-while. Perhaps it is only a gaily colored fire screen, a dainty kitchen apron, or a scatter rug, but these simple things in a home where such things are not may bring a ray of hope for something finer; stir lat ent ambition to something noble. The girls are taught to make any number of things to dress up the home; to cook, sew. and other things which contribute to a well rounded housewife. NVA Workers Here For Training Institute RECENT ARRIVALS Mr. and Mrs. George Mayer an nounce the arrival of a son born at the Newberry county hospital Thurs day, August 1. Mr. and Mrs. J.

All NYA supervisors and instruc tors of Newberry, Laurens, and Fair- field counties gathered at the locil NYA home on East Main street Fri day and Saturday of last week for a training institute conducted by Mrs. J. H. Summer, area supervisor, and Mrs. Gladys Carlton, assistant sup ervisor. Present from the Columbia state office were the following: J. C Me Caskill, assistant director of NYA, Miss Lucile Kennedy, state dir-x-toi of employment; R. V. Christie, state Inance official; Edward L. Black, dist rict director; Ross Com, state stop specialist; and Miss Ellis Com, state home economics specialist. The area shop men present included E. R. Knox and Luther Stone of the Laurens Shop; Louie Turner of the Winnsboro shop, and J. W. Count* and Otis Kinard of the local NYA work shop. Attending home economic instruc tors were Miss Icne Wallce of the Laurens county res : dent group; Mrs Eva Mitchell of the Fairfield countv resident group; and Miss Gladys Epting of the Newberry county resi dent group. The following on the NYA roll were present: Lizzie Smilh, Tempie Wasson, Lucille Cooley, anc Elizabeth Workman from Laurens; Olivia Tur- kett and Katherine Ogbum from Fair- field county; and Virginia Wilson and Lillian Davenport of the county. Hope Wilson of the Newberry high school faculty and George Davenport, both of Newberry National Defense school, gave demonstrations to the Shop men at the Newberry high school shop on Saturday morning. Af the same time at the NYA home Mrs. Wallace demonstrated many arts and crafts which can be f aught to classes of NYA girls and also any other local girls who wish to join the NYA classes. Mrs. Mitchell demon strated the making of prize rolls dur ing the morning. Outstanding among features of the two-day event was the demonstration put on by Katie Hicks, instructor of the Laurens county training sdhool for colored girls, and four of her trainees during tl.e Saturday mora- ing program. An interesting and well-balanced menu was planned, served, and prepared by this colored group. At this luncheon prepared by the girls who had one year training were present the out-of-town visitors and the following local citizens: Dr. F. Wright, Mrs. R. H. Wright. Dr. and Mrs. Gordon Able, M~. R. D. Wright, Mrs. Don Rook, and 0. F. ArmfieJd, vice-chairman of the NYA committees in Newberry county. Greetings were brought to the group presnt by Dr. Wright, Mr. Armfield, and Mrs. Summer. The concensus of opinion of the visitors present was that Newberry county and Fairfield county should make efforts to have NYA training offered colored girls of the two coun ties, who are interested in knowing more about the proper planning, pre paring, and serving of a rm rl. NYA stands ready to train such girls, most of whom make cooking a life work, and pay a colored instructor if city or county officials or a private individual will pay the rent on a house where such training may be given. The col ored group in Laurens is sponsored by officers of the First Methodist church of the city who furnish all money necessary for the continuing of the work there. After such girls are trained twelve months, they are ready for employment in private homes—the main objective of NYA work being to offer training that will lead to private employment. Hare And Taylor Hcarc At Greenwood Congressman Butler B. Hare and John C. Taylor spoke to an audiience of about 100 people in the court house at Greenwood Monday morning Little interest was shown in the speeches. Mr. Hare took exception to a statement by Mr Taylor that he had secured five federal buildings for the district while he was in congress, Quoting from a government document Mr. Hare said the buildings were ap proved for construction before Mr, Taylor entered congress. Mr. Taylor said he “resented” circular put out by Mr. Hare two years ago in which the congressman accused Taylor of a “Premeditated falsehood” in circulating a fac-simile of a telegram purporting to endorse Hare for Congress by the Non-Parti san league. He only passed the tele gram along as it came to him as matter of information, the speaker said. He did emphasize, however, that the telegram was a genuine one so verified by the telgraph company. Mr. Hare drew a round of applause in the middle of his speech when he declared he was the first man in the country to conceive the idea and in troduce into congress a bill designed to insure bank deposits. Mr. Taylor said he voted for the bank insurance bill and an old man in the audience remarked, “But you were too late, brother, I lost all I had in the banks.” To this Mr. Taylor answered that he voted for it the first chance he had. Mr. Hare explained a plan he had for earmarking duties on imports for the purpose of paying farm subsidies. Mr. Taylor said he was not 100 per cent for anybody “not even my self.” He said he did things one day he was sorry for the next. Applause seemed to be about the same for each candidate. Candidates Speak Here John C. Taylor, candidate for con gress, and Hugh Beasley and W. T. Bolt, candidates for solicitor, spoke here Friday morning to a small gath ering, and to a slightly larger one at WillowhroOk Park Friday night. STATE GAME CONVENTION HERE LATE SEPEMBER The annual state convention of the Scuth Carolina Game and Fish Asso- iation will be held in Newberry, Thursday, September 26, according to an announcement from Sam A. Wil liams, president of the Newberry County chapter Game and Fish Asso ciation, the organizatnn sponsoring the meeting here. The Game and F:sh convention wll be one of the largest ever held in this vicinity and is expected to be the lar rest ever enjoyed by the state a>- soeiatim. Preparations are being liiiade for 500 or more to gather at the Country Club. Transmission Lines Here Will Be Rebuilt Complete replacement of electric wires throughout the city beginning this month and taking on year to fi nish is the latest project on the part of the Newberry water and light com mission. At a gathering at the city hall last Friday evening of members of the city council and representatives from the Civic League and the Cham ber of Commerce, Ned Purcell mem ber o fthe commission, annouiced this action while stating the necessity for trimming trees throughout the city in connection with the work. The present electric wires are not only burned out, but are too small to carry the greatly increased load of current. While the city population shows only approximately 2.8 per cent increase during the past ten years, the current load has increased 91.63 per cent. Heavier wire, costing $3,000, has been bought by the com mission and this body has also em ployed the services of the Davey Tree Experts to assume full supervision of the necessary tree trimming. The Friday meeting also resulted in bt appointmtnt of a Newberry Tree Commission. This commission has existed only nominally in the last few years, Dr. Charles L. Trabert faith fully serving throughout this time as its head. The former group consisted of five members while the newly ap pointed 1 one will have only three. Dr. Trabert will again head the group, and serving with him are Dr. Z. F. Wright and Frank Hunter. Any ques tion involving the trimming or remov ing of trees must be referred to this official body. Commissioner Purcell stated that the Water and Light Commission had foreseen the necessity of re-wiring the town some time ago, and that they had accordingly made provisions in their budget for the purchase of new wire. At the present time, all neces sary wire has been purchased and paid for in full. He pointed out also that it was the desire of the commis sion to preserve the natural beauty of all trees as far as possible. Much of the danger and the inconvenience oc casioned' by poor electric service dur ing rains and storms has been the di rect result of trees growing around and over the wires. No part of the town will be fully safe or property serviced unless some cutting is done. In order that this cutting be done scientifically and artistically, the Da- Buy Cromer Home On Nance Street From the following list of movings in and around the city, one might think the population growing daily. Note the number of newcomers to the city: J. C. King and family have come to the city and are occupying 1226 Sum mer street. Dr. S. J. Derrick and Mrs. Derrick have moved from one side of the col lege campus to the other now occupy ing the former Setzler home. Mr. and Mrs. V. C.

Beards have gone from 1320 Crenshaw street to the brick bungalow at 2228 E. Main street. J. O. Burnette is now living at 1718 Vincent street. Jimmie Sease has moved from Nance to 1501 Caldwell street. A. Rhett Boozer has come to New berry from Columbia and is living at 822 Glenn street. ' Newcomers to the city include W. E.

C., at tending the Baptist assembly. vey Tree Experts were employed. It will take some time for the entire town to be wired as it will not be possible to discontinue eleotric service in more than one small section of the town at a time. When electric cur rent is to be cut off in sections, ad vance notice will be given the people of that vicinity in order thac proper arrangements may be made.

Jf-CfrHflRNte ArMFIEU) We had the best rain Monday in. weeks. The corn crop in this section was a favorite of all Laurens citizens Friends of Newberry college will have to visit the campus around Sep tember 12 to get a little additional knowledge. With the new session comes changes galore. Even the most frequent visitor may not recognize the place all at once. Already mention has been made of the changes of res idences on the campus. Now comes the news that the faculty “line-up” will differ greatly. Only one or two of the old ones will be gone and quite a few new ones arc to appear. Among the new “guiding lights” to be at Newberry in ’40-’41, there are two that particularly interest us—Mrs. May Denton and C. M. Smith. Mrs. Denton moved to the city the first of the summer and is living on Summer street. Before coming here she was in Westminister and prior to that made her home over in Georgia. She is a most attractive and charming person—tall and blond and has one child—a smart little red-head by the name of Dorothy. Mrs. Denton will be in the science department, and will have charge of physical ed al together. In the latter capacity, that means she will have the May Day exercises on her hand. Altho’ it’s a little early to be talking about May Day, our undercover man informs us that something extra-special will feature the next May Day at the col lege. Mr. Smith, or just “C. M.”, sounds more natural, finished New berry in ’36. He taught one year at the Laurens high sdhool where he is short, and the cotton does not look any too good. On July 30th I had the pleasure of spending the day wiith one of my old friends, J. I. Kinard. W. B. Graham is visiting his son, Horace Graham, of this communitv. Recently I spent the day with the Shealys at their reunion. A picnic was served out under the oak grove. KENDALL MILLS LUTHERAN PARISH Rev. J. B. Harman, Pastor Bethany: Sunday 10 a. m.—Sunday school. Mr. E. B. Hite, Supt. 11 a. m.—Worrhip with sermon. Summer Memorial: Sunday 10 a. m.—Sunday school. Mr. M. E. Shealy, Supt. 6:30 p. m.—Luther League, Broth erhood and Council meeting. 7:30—Evening worship with ser mon. Visitors are invited to all of these services. and from there went to Duke. C. M won the history medal while in col lege here and continued his study of history at Duke. And now, knowing all about history, he comes to New berry college as instructor in the de partment of Social Sciences to assist Dr. Derrick in hisitory. We’ll be glad to see him back on the campus. AH Interested There’s nothing that could capture interest just now at Jimmie Wise man’s hotel because “Boots” is there and all eyes are on “Boots.” “Boots” belongs to little Jimmie but you would never know it because every one that comes along stops to pidk him up and play with him while wearing that wish-he-we re-mine look. He’s so little—just about a two-by- twice with a black head, while body and ever so tiny white stub of a tail- In case you’re wondering “Boots” is a toy fox terrier. Vacationing At Home In book stores and variety stores you often see books to paste snap shots in but if there’s any such things 1 to past picture post cards in, they must be kept behind the counter. Anyway it sounds like a good idea. With the cards that come to my desk during the summer several such books could be filled. And what could be more pleasant (since you have to stay at home anyway) than to spend an evening ever now and then just leafing through the book. And you start wondering why some of them didn’t invite you to go on that trip to the Endless Caverns, to the Golden Gate Exposition in California, to Hot Springs, to the N. Y. World’s Fair, to Canada, on the Skyland Drive, to Charleston beaches, to that vacation spot of vacation spots— Myrtle Beach. As pleasant as it mighv, be—looking at the “having a wonderful time” postcards from far and near it’s not like looking at them if you’ve really seen the places. They all appear a little overpainted and a little too goody-goody and in spite of the pictures it’s hard to share the enthusiasm that the lucky traveler has upon his return home. Oh, well, when we land a good government job and retire after twenty years, we’re going to see everything from Myrtle Beach to California! Job Never Done From making the rounds we’ve well learned by now that a job in the county sheriff’s office is no bed of roses. It’s not a 9 to 5 job, five and one-half days a week, but an all hour job seven days a week, with time off only for meals and an hour or two for sleep every now and then. In spite of such heavy duties, out local deputies get to go to church on Sunday—in fact they go at least 3 times. They’re good enough—that’s not the reason for thus spending Sunday. Beginning about two o’clock in the afternoon they start making the rounds of the Negro churches, and especially are they on hand if a “big meeting” is underway. There are fights and scraps occasionally, but the deputies report behavior pretty good as a whole. In fact, our depu ties don’t seem to find much wrong anywhere. The way we figure it is that the would-be law offenders know our officers too well to start anything. However they make t’.ie rounds of the churches on Sunday and sit around “just looking.” It must get pretty monotonous with nothing to do but look. If Newberry law officers had a radio patrol system, as they cer tainly ought to, they could at least listen to reports and static while look ing. Cann«n Reports On Past School Year Only a handfull of citizens were present at the courthouse Wednesday morning to hear the report of the trustees of the Newberry school dis trict, number one, made annually to the citizens of the district. The ses sion was called by L. G. Eskridge, secretary of the board. Dr. Z. F. Wright presided, having been named chairman from the floor. T. E. Epting served' as secretary. The general report and financial re port was read by Professor O. B. Can non, head of the city school system which comprises number one district. The report covered the school year bginning July 1, 1939, and ending June 30, 1940. The enrolment for this session was 1,681 with an average attendance of 1520.7. This shows a loss of 37 pupils with an average at tendance loss of 38.4 The decrease In enrolment occurred in the elementary grades. While the 'righ school showed s slight increase. The loss in average attendance was explained by the fact that during the session there was more sickness among the children. In negro schools there were enrolled in the 1939-40 term 785 pupils, a loss of 41 over the former year’s enrol ment. Again this loss appeared in elementary grades with the high school showing a gain of 78 pupils. Professor Cannon reported on the helpful work of the county attendance teacher, saying that this teacher fol lowed a “policy of education and per suasion rather than resorting to force in getting children to attend school regularly.” The teachers in the city system were commended for “the work that they tre doing and the professional attitude that they are taking toward their work.” The Newberry High school has a high rating as given by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary schools, according to Mr. Cannon, who also told that the association has passed on two criticisms of the local school—first, classes are too large; second, the salaries of the teachers are too low. The trustees informed the gathering that a fair settlement has been made, after much delay, for the damige done by fire and water to the Drayton street school’s main building which caught on fire November 16 of last year. Through the aid of WPA a new building is now going up on the Drayton school grounds. The work of Mrs. John B. Mayes, county library supervisor, and Mrs. Emma Longshore, supervisor of the hot lunch programs for the schools, was also commended by the board. Giving only totals in the financial report, Mr. Canonm stated that re ceipts for session 1939-1940 totaled $107,681.43 to which will be added $1,620.00, transfer of funds to be made from Helena and Jalapa dis tricts. The receipt figure includes $15,0000 secured from insurance pre mium of Drayton street school. The total expenditures for the last session totaled $96,231.11. To this figure will be added the $15,000 for rebuilding at Drayton school leaving a deficit of $3,549.68. This deficit will be further reduced upon receipt of the $1,620 from Helena and Jalapa districts. The following resolution upon the death of Henry B, Wells, long a mem ber of the city board of trustees, were offered and adopted: WHEREAS, it hath pleased our Heavenly Father to call home our friend and co-worker, Henry B. Wells, who for many years served with us on the Board of Trustees of the New berry City Schools, we offer the fol lowing resolutions: FIRST, That we feel very keenly the loss of this member of our board, who served so faithfully and efficient ly for a space of twenty years. SECOND, That he was keen in his thinking and sound in his judgment whenever school problems were up for solution. His philosophy of life seem ed to be, “A thing worth doing at all is worth doing well.’’. He insisted that first class work be done on all school buildings, and maintained that the best equipment was the cheapest in the end. THIRD, That he gave liberally of his time and talents to the building of a strong school system, ever keep ing in mind the welfare of the school children both as to educational ad vantages and safety. FOURTH, That we express to the members of his bereaved family our deepest sympathy, and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to them. FIFTH, That a page in our minute book be inscribed to his memory. J. Y. JONES L. G. ESKRIDGE GEO. K. DOMINICK C. D.
