r Every Week More People Read The Sun The Sun Strives To Serve The Whole People VOLUME 3; NO. 43 The Ruin* sun-isse-isw NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1940 SUder and Greneker—1856-1860 $1 PER YEAR OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE PUT IT UNDERGROUND Since it has been decided to rebuild the power lines over the city why not put them underground ? Even if the cost were more it would be cheaper in the long run and the removal of poles and wires from the streets is certain ly to be desired. And too, by putting the wires underground the matter of cutting our beautiful shade trees will be forever settled. If the commission does not have the money on hand to lay all the wires underground, let them do such of the work as their money will cover and do the rest later. There is nothing wrong with the distributing system as it stands so far as the immediate future is concerned. The service is good and will remain so for a long enough period to enable the commis sion to do the work as it should be done. HARE HITS ITS SOLAR PLEXUS News & Courier. If one would be versed in philoso phy, economics, politics, and, casually, even in religion, one has but to read the reports of the orations of candi dates in South Carolina telling of their “records.” Por example, a candidate for prosecuting officer relates that he has been energetic, diligent in “service clubs,” at which one may satisfy his hunger. Of moving (Mr. Scoop Latimer would say “emoting”) interest was the address the other day of Mr. B. B. Hare, candidate for re-election to the national house of representatives, who said that he had “introduced a bill for the purchase of 2,000,000 bales of cot ton to be turned into ammunition and stored for future use. “My purpose in doing this was two fold, first, as a preparation for future events such as the world now faces, and socond, to remove that mfich cheap cotton from the market. Ef the bill had passed, and if it were now in operation we should have a supply of ammunition to be passed on to the nations of Europe who have needed it so sorely during the past year. “He told of other bills he had spon sored and of appropriations and enact ments favored by him which have be come almose prophetic in the light of present events. He mentioned speci- fieially the addition of 6,000 airplanes in February, 1939, an increase in the navy appropriation, and double the navy amount in army funds.” Conceding for the sake of sage dis cussion that this was a bill of note worthy merit, “almost prophetic in the light of present events,” why was the bill not parsed? Further, Mr. Hare concluded, “I am not boastful, but I have been asked to the White House and have talked across the table with Mr. Roosevelt as to military affairs here and in the Orient and have been called upon by Secretary Cordell Hull in connection with certain ohases of the program.” Alas and alackaday! Mr. Hare’s bill for the purchase of 2,000,000 bales of cotton and its conversion into am munition was not enacted, notwith standing that he had “talked across the table” with Mr Roosevelt. Is it conceivable that a candidate for con gress is slyly rebuking the command er-in-chief for neglecting his sugges tion, or measure, dating from Febru ary, 1939, for “the addition of 6,000 airplanes, an increase in the navy ap propriations and double the navy amount in army funds?” In all of that (mark, it was about fourteen months before the command er-in-chief awoke to the necessity for preparedness and called Knox, Stim- son, Knudsen, Stettinius, Forestal and other “economic royalists” and Old Guard Republicans to his aid) Mr. Hare was sound and far-seeing—and to all that the president and his con gress were indifferent. They were concerned for “social gains/’ which make votes for con gressmen in their districts and states. “Across the table” it seems that the president was no more heedful of Mr. Hare than a king would have been of a cat that looked at him. Yet Mr. Hare was right, as to appropriations for the army and navy—and President Roosevelt and his majority in congress gave him no more attention than they gave to Barnard Baruch in 1938. Why did they sit down on Mr. Hare? They are appropriating the money now—and if the defenses of the United States had been improved since February, 1939, this Hitler would not now threaten to bestride, like a Colossus, the narrow world. He would have listened to reason from the United States—and the reasoning would have been airplanes, more ships and more soldiers. The News and Courier would not suggest that Representative Hare had the purpose in mind, but his speech In Greenwood last Tuesday telling of his “record” landed on the solar plexus of the “record” of President Roosevelt and the New Deal.

Hare on Old Age Pensions is best stated in this extract from a speech made my him in the present Congress. Far from being opposed to pensions for the aged, Mr. Hare has sought to bring about a condition that will in sure even larger amounts to those unable to make their own living. Mr. Hare’s remarks follow: “Mr. Chairman, as nothing has been said in this debate so far about a change in the ratio between the Fed eral contribution and the States’ for old-age assistance, I would like to call attention to some of the testi mony before the Committee which suggests a more equitable arrange ment than the 50-50 provision of the existing law. “Under the present law the Federal Government contributes dollar for dollar to the States up to $20 per month for every needy person over 65 years of age who can qualify und er the State law. Under this arrange ment the average monthly payment ranges from about $6 per month to $32 in the several States, and it is generally known there are many needy people ovr 65 years of age whose ap plications have not been approved in a number of States for the reason that such States have not been financially able to meet their part of the pay ments. There was testimony submit ted to your Committee to the effect that the present arrangement oper ates as an actual burden to a number of States where the per capita wealth is low. To illustrate: One State may contribute only $6 per month and an other may contribute $2C per month, but the former will be contributing more in proportion to its per capita wealth than the latter. At the same time, the poor States contribute their share to the contribution made by the Federal Government, and in actual operation the wealthier States, while making a greater contribution to the needy old-age persons, are actually placing an additional burden on tne poorer States to assist in the contri bution made by the Federal Govern ment to the wealthier States. “I think, it is generally understood the present arrangement is not satis factory, and an effort was made last year to change the uniform matching ration from 50-50 to 75-25. That is, in the latter case the Federal Gov ernment would pay 75 cents to the States’ 25 cents of each dollar paid in the way of old-age assistance. Of course, this would improve the cit- uation, in the minds of many of us, because it would decrease the contri bution made by the States directly, but at the same time it would force the States to increase their contribution to the Federal Government to meet its proportionate share. “It has been suggested by the Social Security Board there ought to be a system of variable grants to the States by the Federal Government in stead of the flat matching, and that the variable grant should be related to the economic capacity and the need of the individual States. According to the testimony of Dr. Altmeyer, Chairman of the Board, such a plan should not be very difficult to admin ister for the reason that statistics of Continued on page eight) Colony Homecoming Is Set For Sunday The members of Colony Lutheran church, through a committee compos ed of Prof. J. H. Bedenbaugh, Mr. J. M. Wilson, and Mr. L. C. FMlmer, have arranged a very attractive pro gram for their annual home-coming, Sunday, August 18, to which all for mer members and the general public is invited. The Sunday school will assemble at 10:30 a. m. The various classes will meet at their respective places for a brief period, after which they will re assemble in the church auditorium to hear an address by Prof. T. E. Epting of Newberry college. The chief service will begin at 11:15. The welcome address will be delivered by Mr. Carlisle Fulmer, a son of the congregation. The sermon will be delivered by the Rev. W. D. Haltiwanger, a classmate in Newber ry college and a classmate and room mate in the Southern Lutheran Semi nary of the present pastor of Colony, Rev. M. L. Kester. Pastor Haltiwan ger is also the most recent former pastor of Colony, having resigned the Beth-Eden parish about six years ago to accept a call to the Johnston par ish. Mr. Haltiwanger served the Beth-Eden parish for about 10 years. He is well and favorably remembered and no doubt a large congregation will be present to hear him Sunday. At 12:30 dinner will be served on the church grounds. At 2:00 p. m. all persons present are asked to reassemble in the church where, after devotions, an address will be delivered by Dr. Jas. C. Kin ard, president of Newberry college. Nothing need be said for the speak ers. They are all outstanding and it is the hope of the congregation and the committee in charge of the pro gram that all present will avail themselves of the privilege and op portunity of hearing them.

DOWN MEMORY LANE 20 YEARS AGO Before a crowd of several thousand persons who stood for nearly two hours under a sweltering August sun at Hyde Park, Franklin D. Roose velt gave an address formally accept ing the Democratic nomination for vice president today. He urged rati fication of the peace treaty, “which to make it a real peace, must include a league of nations.” There was another fine barbecue at the home of Mr. John Baker on Wed nesday, this one for the benefit of Long Lane school. The rains came in the morning and at the dinner hour and interfered somewhat with the pleasure of the day, but the meats were cooked fine and all the people were fed and there was plenty of meat for those who desired to take some home with them for the folk who can- hot get to the barbecues as often as the candidates. The speaking that had been advertised was called off and the people just mingled with one an other and enjoyed the day in this way, and perhaps better than if there had been an effort to speak between the showers. One citizen says he doesn’t under stand why the Confederate monu ment’s plat isn’t kept in good condi tion all the time. The choir at the Lutheran church Sunday morning was exceptionally good. The choir was small in num bers, but it made up for that in “effi ciency set to music”, with the duet by Mrs. S. J. Derrick and Dr. Jno. B. Setzler. The magnificent pipe organ, under the perfect control of Mrs. E. B. Setzler, gave out rich volumes of melody. Sunday night the music was of the same high order as usual. A FOX HUNT On Wednesday night, August 21, at 9 o’clock there will be a fox hunt on the Enoree river farm of Hal Kohn, known as The Q arters. Foxes in that section have been doing damage to poultry and permission has been granted to have this hunt, even tho out of season at this time. This event has been set for Wednes day evening so that many may attend the very enjoyable Mt. Pleasant pig foot supper, given for the benefit of Mt. Pleasant church, and after a fine supper travel a few miles down the road for the fox hurt. Mr. Kohn is cooperating with the supper commit tee in inviting those who come out Wednesday to enjoy the hunt. To reach Mt. Pleasant church, where the supper will be served, drive down Winnsboro road about 9 miles. Just beyond Keitt’s cross roads, turn left, upon reaching Caldwell road turn right and go down that road sev eral miles. To reach the fox hunt you turn left near Reece Mercantile Co.’s store. A flare wil be burning at this point to guide those who wish to at- tent the fox hunt. Ellerbe Sease will be master of the fox hounds and a good spot has been selected to hear the dogs run. HONORED WITH BIRTHDAY PARTY Master Kenneth Stokes, small son of Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Stokes, was complimented by his mother with a party on his fifth birthday, Friday, August ninth.
