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—

College Registration
Near Four Hundred
Newberry College formally opened
in 1940-41 session last Friday morn
ing and partially complete registra

J. C. Kinard yestrday, show that
the total attendance at the college
so far has reached 372. There are

courses, 25; and special students 20.
A number of students have yet to
enroll. The above figures do not in

few courses only. When registration
is complete it is expected that the
attendance will stand around the 400-
mark. All dormitories are crowded
to capacity and there are 240 stu
dents in the dining hall.
A study of figures over the past
several years shows that the per
centage of freshmen returning for
their sophomore year is the highest
it ever has been.
At the opening exercises last Fri
day morning President Kinard was
presiding. Devotions were conduct
ed by the Rev. George A. Meetze of
the Grace Lutheran church, Prosperi
ty. Greeting letters to the student
body from suporting synods and
friends of the college were read by
Dr. Kinard. Brief talks were made

schools and the Rev. H. O. Cham

Up until Tuesday night of this week
1,863 private passenger cars and 267

the second period of 1940 at the state

Since this unit was operating in
Whitmire for several days before

When th e station returns ei rly next

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.

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

ion meeting in Anderson Tuesday
night were Chalmers Brown, F. C.

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

May Hunt In Enorec
Effective with the opening of this
game season anyone having a coun
ty or state license and complying with
all laws can hunt, without permit
from the forestry office, on lands open
for shooting within the boundaries
of the Enoree District, according to
John 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.

ST. 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.
