Bruner, Sr., Mrs. M. K. Beckman, Mrs. Sam Lattimore, Mrs. H. H. Living ston, Mrs. Ames Haltiwanger, Mrs. J. E. Eowe, Mrs. R. t F. Patterson, and Mrs. Claude Wingate. Four tables were laid in the at tractively decorated room of Mrs. Fischers home Tuesday morning. Prizes went to Mrs. Herman Wright for high score; Mrs. Ben Buzhardt for second high; and Mrs. Don Rook for bingo. During the game the hostess served iced drinks and sand wiches. On Tuesday afternoon six tables of guests were invited to play con tract. Winning prizes for the after noon were Mrs. Jesse Dickert, high, Mrs. L. G. Eskridge, second; Mrs. Ernest Brooks, bingo. Late in the afternoon a delectable chicken salad course was served with iced tea. / A profusion of mixed flowers was used at both occasions. MRS. ESKRIDGE HOSTESS ONCE-A-WEEK CLUB AN F. B. I. MAN SPEAKS Lee R. Pennington, of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Chief Administrative Assistant to J. Edgar Hoover, told the Rotary Club of Washington a few weeks ago: “The teaching of ‘doctrines wholly un-American’ in the nation’s schools and colleges is one of the greatest problems facing the FBI in its na tional defense work. “American youth are falling prey to ‘preachers of ideologies foreign to our way of thinking.’ “Doctrines wholly un-American have gotten into our educational in stitutions, and students are listening to influences which are trying to make us a nation divided against It self. “The FBI is doing all within its power to uncover instances of class room discussion of un-American topics, but help of all law abiding citizens is needed to carry on our fight. “We know there are instructors in schools throughout the country teach ing subversive subjects, but it is a mystery to the FBI why such prac tices are permitted to exist when they could be stopped easily before thev get a foothold. “Parents should talk to their child ren, learn what is going on in their community schools, and report any subversive activities directly to the FBI.” SPECIAL PROGRAM PLANNED The home of Mrs. L. G. Eskridge on Boundary street was the scene of the meeting of the Once-A-Week club Thursday afternoon. Golden glow and other early autumn flowers adorned the looms where tables were laid for contract. Mrs. Raymond Fellers and Mrs. John Clarkson were guests of the club. When scores were counted, high prize went to Mrs. Clarkson, bingo to Mrs. Fellers. After cards were laid aside, the guests enjoyed iced drinks and as sorted sandwiches and cookies. MRS. WISEMAN ENTERTAINS BRIDGE CLUB The living rooms of Mrs. J. E. Wiseman’s apartment at the Hotel Wiseman was festively decorated with zinnias and snapdragons when she entertained her bridge club Wed nesday morning. At the beginning of the game, an assortment of sandwiches, cookies and cheese straws was served with iced drinks. After several progressions, attrac tive prizes were presented to Mrs. Don Rook, high scorer for club, Mrs. C. C. Hutto, sigh scorer for guests, and Mrs. Ben Buzhardt, bingo. WASTE SPOTS MAY BE USED FOR WILDLIFE HAVENS Like manufacturers who convert waste by-products into salable mer chandise, farmers in Newberry Coun ty can convert waste spots into useful areas for wildlife, according to County Agent P. B. Ezell, and J. H. Talbert of the Soil Conservation Ser vice in Newberry. Field-woodland borders, gullies, rough corners, and other uneconomic or untillable land can be planted with vegetatioft that will help to produce a crop of wildlife. The planting of lespedeza sericea and the devlopment of shrubs in these places will not only create wildlife havens but will also help to reduce erosion. Border strips planted around wood lands help wildlife by providing cover near food. At the same time, land practically worthless for growing field crops is made to produce some thing useful. Strip cropping, although primarily aimed at erosion control and crop pro duction, makes large amounts of food available to wildlife. Strip crops also provide travel lanes and escape co verts for wildlife to use adjacent to cover. Wildlife depends to a large extent on food and cover, both of which are provided by vegetation, Since vege tation is nature’s own tool for con trolling erosion, erosion control mea sures may be adapted to give wildlife many of the requirements necessary to insure satisfactory survival and in crease. Changing pullets from growing range to laying house is one of the most important fall steps in main taining a profitable laying flock, County Agent P. B. Ezell, advises, explaining that when pullets are brought off the range and placed in a strange house, there is danger that they may go into a molt and delay production for several months when egg prices are unusually favorable. To prevent a check molt several precautions should be taken. The birds should be caught and handled carefully. A catching coop may be used during the day ir the birds may be moved easily after they go to roost at night. If the birds are to be changed from a growing mash to a laying mash, do this gradually by mixing the two mashes. For a short time at least, use feeders of the same type to which the birds are accus tomed. For the first few days it is better not to have the reels on the feeders since birds flying quickly from the reels frighten the flock and keep it in a nervous condition. The annual Rally Day promotion exercises will be held at Aveleigh Presbyterian church next Sunday. A special program is prepared to con sume the entire Sunday school hour. MINISTER ANNOUNCES TEXT “Our Church and Our American Softness” is the subject of the ser mon to be preached at Aveleigh Presbyterian church this Sunday. A large congregation vs as present last Sunday to hear the pastor, the Rev. C. A. Calcote, speak on “Why God Poes not Stop the War.” Mr. Calcote states that if the church has ears to hear, it should take full account of conditions facing it now, in view of what is happening to the church cause the world over. ST. PHILIPS ITEMS The farmers of this section are now very busy picking cotton. They will not average much over half of what they have been making. When I was visiting in Anderson I was talking to a man and he said the cotton was just splendid in that section. I be lieve cotton in this section is shorter than in other sections of the county. The fall flowers are beginning to bloom but it has been so dry they will not be very pretty. Some predict an early fall but I believe it will be a late one. As soon as it rains the weather will make a change. A dry fall is the most enjoy able season but the hay and potato crops need rain now. Jolly Street brought its biggest bat to Jolly Street diamond Saturday and used them with a vengeance as they pounded out a 9 to 6 victory over Prosperity in the first half of the Dutch Fork-Shaughnessy play-off finals. Singley, passed out ten hits among the Prosperity batters, and was com plete master throughout the game, while the bats of T. Shealy, Fox Boozer, Corley, and Sease, were lead ing Streeters jn their savage batting attack. The two teams meet in the second game of the series Saturday after noon at Prosperity. PINK GLAMOR If Uncle Sam has any esthetic ap preciation of womanhood, maybe he ought to stop and think seriously about the color of U. S. Army uni forms before he rashly togs out the conscripts in something he may re gret later. Look whats happening in Britain. English Tommies wear khaki uni forms and girl friends soon discover ed that blond hair didn’t go too well with khaki. Brunet, chestnut . . . yes. The best combination with the official uniform was pink. So a Lon don hair stylist began capitalizing on the idea and British gals blossomed out with pink tresses. It’s all right, probably, if you hap pen to like pink—even in a woman’s hair. But just to be on the safe side, maybe the army had better scratch its collective head at this time and think this business over.—Union Times. Mrs. Peter Davis of New York City is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Davis on Caldwell street. She will be here until the middle of October. Mrs. D. W. Taylor of Miami, Fla., has returned home after an extend ed visit at the home of the O. H. Dickinsons. Lieut, and Mrs. E. L.

READY TO COME HOME Every American citizen on the Bri tish Isles had a chance to clear out long before Nazi bombers began their destructive excursions over England. Mcst of them took the advice of the U. S. State Department and left. But 35U0 Americans decide to stay on and see the show. They’ve had enough now. Embas sy officials in London report con stant and feverish appeals from stranded Americans for safe passage to the United States. About all the Embassy can say is, “We’re sorry, we told you so, but there aren’t any boats headed for home just now.” They have learned, these Ameri cans, that-it isn’t a Fourth of July fireworks display. They’re not us ing dummies over there to represent dead civilians as they did in the ear lier practice days. The stranded Americans know a little bit about this new kind of war. Ask them about it when and if they get home. —Union Times. IN HOSPITAI- Fred Lester, manager of the Bus Station canteen, underwent an ap pendectomy at the county hospital Sunday night. His condition is sat isfactory. Cecil Piester, who has been a pat ient in the Newberry county hospital for some time, has returned home. Mrs. V/. S. Lominick and Mrs. Cle- bron Shealy spent last Wednesday in Columbia on business. Bill Smith, B. P. Ringer, J. O. Wessinger and P. B. Mitchell left Tuesday night for Greensboro, N. C. where they attended the 1941 show ing of the new Dodge auto on Wed nesday. STATE VOLUNTEERS TO REDUCE NUMBER CALLED IN DRAFT Columbia, Sept. 25.—This state will have a‘ greatly reduced quota for selective service if army recruit- ing stations keep up with the record set this month by the Columbia office in enlisting 116 men. The majority of the volunteers went to Fort Jackson, where the 8th and 30th divisions are in training. For every man listed now, one less citizen will be called under this state’s draft quota. The 116 men did not include 35 young men who entered the new one- year voluntary enlistment. REPUBLICAN IS ANGERED BY FDR’S SON IN RESERVES Nw York, Sept. 25.—Donald Horn- beck, chairman of the Young Repub lican National Federation, asserted today that Elliott Roosevelt’s accept ance of a capacity in the air corps was “nothing short of damnable.” Calling upon him to resign his commission, Hornbeck said at a press conference that young men of the nation were “grumbling” over the ap pointment. “They feel that honest selective service is the major need of the country,” he added, “but to start it off in this fashion,will do their morale no good whatever.” Describing the president’s son as “one of the heirs to the throne in the coming dictatorship in the event of Roosevelt’s re-election,”’ Horneck said: “It would take him probably five years if he started from the ground like any other draftee at $30 a month. Now he receives $200, wears no uniform and is assigned by some general in the army to Wright Field at Dayton. If that is the manner in which the draft is to be administered by the present federal authorities, I don’t believe it will strike a very responsive chord among those who have to serve in their regular turn.” SERVICES AT KINGS CREEK AND UNITY A. R. P. CHURCHES — Preaching services will be held at Kings Creek next Sabbath afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, and at Unity in the evening at 7:30. A cordial invita tion is extended to all who can do so to attend these services. REVIEW of NEW BOOKS Brief reviews of the new books at the Newberry county library follows: River Out of Eden by Shirley Sei fert is a colorful romance of the Miss issippi of 1763. It tells of the early river boatsmen and their women and more than that—a story of -the mighty river itself. Stars on the Sea by F. Van Wyck Mason. This novel presents a fresh and unhackneyed version of the war of Independence as seen in a north ern colony, a southern colony, and a tropical colony—Rhode Island. South Carolina and tne Bahamas. Kitty Foyle by Christopher Morley is a novel that every book lover will want to read. It has recently been made into a moving picture. This story is deep with humor and cour age and pathos and the candor every woman recognizes and how it is best to conceal. This novel has not been serialized. Morley wrote such popu- lars as Parnassus on Wheels and the Trojan Horse. The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter writ ten by 22-year-old Carson McCullers. A reviewer of this book wrote “I can’t understand how a 22-year-old girl can know so much of love and loneliness and of the human need for understanding.” The scene is laid in a small Southrn mill town with the Central figure a mute—a quiet tol erant man to whom four people turn to express their individual hopes and beliefs. The Bird is the Tree by Elizabeth Goudge. This novel is proclaimed as the best ever written by Miss Goudge. The Mortal Storm by Phyllis Bot- tome is a book familiar to many by now since it’s been a moving picture. It’s a story telling the real thruth about life in Nazi Germany. THE NEWBERRY SDN FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER »7, 'iH4« IN THE WORLD’S “SAFEST j CAPITAL” It begins U> look as if Adolph Hit-f ler was guilty of antiphrases when 1 the Fuehrer asserted that Berlin was the world’s safest capital, that no enemy airplanes could appear over it with deadly missiles. The British report their greatest raid of the war on Berlin. Returning British airmen said that Berlin’s main power station and gas works were flamiig beacons to guide later arrivals. One aircraft alone is reported to have started large fires which were visible eighty miles away, Fire in the middle of the target caus ed a gigantic explosion. This great raid on Hitler’s capi tal went forward while British air planes were engaged in turning back raiders over the London area, indi cating that the British air strength is increasing. Week by week, Hitler and Mussolini are less sure of their success. Mussolini plunged Italy in to war only when he believed that the was was won. He has awakened to conditions which alarm him for all of his continued boasting. Britain’s darkest hour was when the French surrendered to the in vader. At that time it looked as if the forces of ruthlessness were soon to crush the British isles. Prime Miniter Churchill did not minimize the gravity of the situation, but he heartened Britain, and her friends, with the confident declaration that a little time and the Nazis would be wincing under British blows. That time has come and the Nazis are win cing. Carrying the war to Berlin the British make the Germans understand that destruction in Berlin from the air can be as severe as destruction from the air in London. Dropping bombs on Berlin is not good for Ger man morale. Hitler led the Germans to Believe that the Nazis would crush Britain as they crushed France and smaller nations. Berlin is as fair a target for the British as London is for the Germans.—News & Courier. SERVICES (FRIDAY FINAL FOR D. L.

Retenue to Be Provided “The unbalanced budget of our state will not permit the loss of $3.- 000,000 liquor revenue, we are told. But we are of the opinion that this condition is in part due to the waste caused by the present liquor traffic. If this liquor' revenue was set aside to pay for all the loss caused by the traffic, it would fade away like the dew before the morning sun. “To get this $3,000,000 revenue our people spend approximately $25,000,- 000 for liquor (including beer, ale and wine). Most of this money goes entirely out of our state to the brew eries and distilleries where it is made. Kept at home and spent for food, cloths, shelter and other things that minister io our welfare, it would create four times as much business, and so would produce more than the $3,000,000 in additional revenue with out raising the tax rates. And there would also be a considerable reduc tion in police court and jail expenses. “We are mindful of this revenue problem, and we are ready to coop erate with those of our citizens who are seeking a wise reform of our tax and fiscal policies. Aside from a pos sible increase in social security needs, we believe that the lost revenues can be replaced without increasing our tax rates. “It is our belief that a new and better day lies ahead for South Caro lina.” Members of Committee The following were named as the legislative committee: Dr. W.
