Every Week More People Read The Sun VOLUME 3; NO. 48 The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1940 OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE THE NAZI PARADOX One curious aspect in the present war is the paradox which even vic tory presents for G jrmany. The Nazi machine, geared for attack, must keep going forward or in effect it is going backward. Every day that Germany is not counting a victory, Britain is winning the war. At this point in his triumphal ad vance Herr Hitler, and everyone else, knows he would find it most conven ient to stop the war now; but Herr Hitler, and everyone else knows he cannot stop the war now. Yet to car ry on the war indefinitely will defeat Germany economically, socially, and finally, by force or arms. Is Berlin now going more cau- cautiously as this paradox of victory becomes more apparent? There is something about Nazi-ism that is not unlike a toy gas balloon, rising high er and higher, swelling bigger and bigger in false majesty, until— MRS.

Annual Game Group Meeting Is Thursday Everything is in readiness for New berry’s largest convention in years— the annual convention of the state game and fish association which brings hundreds of sportsmen from all over the state to the city next Thursday for an all-day session at the Country Club near town.

Inspection Station Here Remains Until Oct. 12th Up until Tuesday night of this week 1,863 private passenger cars and 267 trucks had received “stickers” for the second period of 1940 at the state safety inspection statin on John stone street.

These figures were released by John K. Brad'ey, super visor of the station. When th e station returns ei rly next year for the first period of 1941 in spection it will be set up in three places in the county—Whitmire, Pros perity and Newberry, “I am encouraged with the way tricks and cars are coming in for inspection”, Mr. Bradley told a re porter this week, “but we would like to have those who have not yet re ceived certificates to come through the lanes as soon as possible and not wait until the last week when there is likely to be a rush.” The station closes in Newberry Sat urday, October 12. Youftli Here Monday For All-Day Meeting Approximately 250 boys and girls who are receiving work experience and training in the work program of the National Youth Administration will meet in Newberry next Monday morning at ten o’clock for an all-day youth conference at the Margaret Hunter park.

INQUEST HELD INTO DEATH OF NEGRO ; CHIT CHAT | v .VOOHJTBNfE ARMF1EU Year Round Job On of the busiest women in the city must be Mrs. J. D. Frenth. Here it is early fall and already we are hearing rumors of the Communi ty Christmas tree which Mrs. French is mainly responsible for. From early fall to Christmas she does the work of a half-dozen persons perfecting plans for this large event. After Christmas and into the spring she is “straightening up” from the Tree— settling bills, thanking helpers and contributors, and winding up every thing. And then it’s about vacation time—a trip to her home in the North and back to the city none too early to start plans for another Tree. It’s practically a year round job and one for which she would never receive all the thanks due her. Great Event Game and Fish will be in the air next week around Newberry—that is —talk of game and fish for Newber ry is playing host city for members of game and fish groups from all over the state who will be the guests of the local chapter. This annual con vention of the state game and fish association is expected to bring over 500 delegates to the city. It’s New berry’s first state-wide convention in many a year. The convention is be ing held next Thursday at the Coun try club with a morning business ses sion and an afternoon period consist ing of a sport rodeo. Prominent sportsmen from this and other states will be on hand. Rushing around in a dither that day will be Sam Wil liams, head of the local game chap ter and also executive vice-president of the state association. With such a title in the state organization it sounds as tho’ Sam is in line for the state president’s chair. We’ll know next Thursday, but we know now that sportsmen couldn’t choose a better man . The public is invited to the convention sessions. This and That Generalities: A note from Marie Moore brings news that she’s liking Conway very much. She recently took over duties as manager of the hospi tal there ... In riding over th e city at night we noticed quite a few street lights out. Such is probably due to the re-wiring program . . . Attend ants at the Newberry college opening exercises last Friday morning were delighted with three selections offer ed by Miss Jo Sullivan, harpist. The college is one of the few in this sec tion of the country offering instruc tions in harp. In fact, the entire col lege faculty is much larger this year than it’s ever been, offering additional courses in many departments . . . One of the grandest treats your writ er had had in sometime was a visit this week to the CCC camp near Whitmire which included lunch with the officers and a thorough inspection of the entire camp. One has to visit on the camp grounds to see what an attractive place it is as so little of it can be seen from the highway and the personnel is so extra-nice it’s a temp tation not to stop every time you drive up that way . . . The conscription bill has many young men around here wondering—who will be taken and how many—while girls of the same age are thanking their lucky stars for the first time that they were so fortunate as to be a member of the weaker sex . . . Football is definitely in the air with fans planning big on taking in the Newberry-Carson-New- man game here Saturday night. ATTEND DISTRICT LEGION MEET IN ANDERSON Attending a district American Leg ion meeting in Anderson Tuesday night were Chalmers Brown, F. C. Polhemus, Bennett Miller, C. A.

WELCOME FOGS (The Chicago Daily News) Nobody thought the time would come when the demand for fogs in the English Channel would exceed the supply. At Coroner I. H. Wilson’s inquest Friday afternoon at the local depot into the death of Walter Jones, mid dle aged negro found dead on the railroad -racks between Kinards and Gary’s Lane Saturday night, Septem ber 7, the jury returned a verdict that Jones had been “stuck by the C.

Billingsley, district forest ranger. Mr. Billingsley, in informing all hunters and fishermen of this new ruling, stated that because sportsmen had given such splendid cooperation on the forest, it was possible to dispense with issuing permits. Certain areas where quail have been released will continue closed to hunting. Such areas have already been posted conspicuously with tres pass notices. Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Gillstrap of At lanta, Ga., are visiting Mr. and Mrs. J. H. West.

PHILIPS SCRIBE VISITS IN ANDERSON On September 11 I had the pleasure of taking a trip to Andrson. I left Newberry at 8:45 in the morning on th e bus and arrived in Anderson at 11:20 a, m. I returned home Septem ber 16th. The Rev. J. T. Mann and I were school mates and we had a grand time talking over the old school days. Mr. and Mrs. Mann did everything in their power to make me feel at home an d I did feel just like I was at home. I had intended to return home on Fri day but Rev. Mann and Rev. Alton Clark persuaded me to stay until Sunday. I was proud that they did for I sure did enjoy myself. On Sunday Rev. Clark came after me to go with him to his church where he is pastor. I enjoyed his sermon very much. It was a touch ing one. They have a nice church. It is furnished with piano and pipe organ, and nice pews. They have 50 members. When this church first started it only had 10 members. I am glad to know that it is growing. I learned that E. W. Shealy who form erly lived at Little Mountain, is now their superintendent. After service I went with them home for dinner. They treated me with much kindness for which I am very grateful. On Sunday night I had the pleas ure of going to the First Baptist church with Mr. and Mrs. Mann. I enjoyed being there and everyone gave me a hearty welcome. I hope that I shall again have the pleasure of being with Rev. and Mrs. Mann and Rev. and Mrs. Clark. I shall never forget their kindness. May God’s richest blessings rest upon them and their good work. The Sun Strives To Serve The Whole People $1 PER YEAR DOWN MEMORY LANE 20 YEARS AGO Mr. A. W.
