Every Week More People Read The Sun The Sun Strives To Serve The Whole People VOLUME 3; NO. 50 The Rising San—1856-186* NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1940 OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE DRAFT EXEMPTIONS The fate of Christianity as well as that of democracy is going to be de cided on the battlefields and not in the pulpits, and we can see no reas on for exempting ministerial stu dents from the draft. Many young men today go into the ministry be cause it is a good way to make a liv ing, and not in answer to any divine call. Now, if some one will figure out a way to determine the ones who have received a bona fide “call” we’d be all for exempting them, but that would be a big undertaking. I know men who received the “call” and pre pared to answer it and in later years found teaching, insurance, and even newspaper work more to their liking. And not only should ministerial stu dents not be exempted, but no other student within the draft age limit. Just wherein lies the justice of, tak ing a boy from behind the spinning frames to answer the five o’clock call these cold winter momingr and leav ing the student to snooze in a com fortable dormitory until his eggs and bacon are ready? If the fate of this nation rests upon the rah! rah! bo vs getting an education we are in a devil of a mess. But, you say, they are only deferred for a year, and will have to answer the draft after that time. Why not th^n. defer workers in vital industries. ' cotton mills on war orders? We haven’t heard of that. Many will remember the harm worked the church in the world war by the exemption of ministerial stu dents. When these students appear ed in the camps dressed as for wedding- and enjoying the comforts of home, the soldier resented it, and justly so. He saw big, strapping men standing at YMCA counters lab oring under the heavy burden of sell- ino- nostage stamps and handing out religious tracts. The effect was in evitable—in a few months after the camps opened it was next to impos sible to get an audience among the men to listen to a speaker on reli gious topics. Our young men are a generation of “softies,” and few of them want to go into the service, but they should be forced to go—ALL of them on the same basis. They need the harden ing that the -rmy will give them. They need to learn that this old world is no bed of roses and that the things we cherish are guaranteed only at the nrice of etrenal vigilance and sacri fice. Slider and Greneker—1856-1860 $1 PER YEAR Auto Inspection Unit Is Soon To Move The State Highway Vehicle * In spection Station No. 11 is scheduled to remain in Newberry for less than 12 more days, according to John K Bradley, Supervisor of the station The Unit will be moved to Edge- field on October 14 where it will be located for the remainder of the pre sent inspection period. After Octo ber 12 there will not be a station here again until late during the next inspection period. All cars are re quired to be inspected and approved twice each year. Supervisor Bradley stated that the oeople had been very cooperative and that a great many of the cars around Newberry had already been approv ed. Approximately 85 per cent of the 3700 vehicles inspected have al ready been issued certificates of ap proval. Many more will be approv ed after minor repairs are made. He urged that the vehicle owners who have not yet reported to the station located on Johnstone street do so as soon as possible in order that they may have time to make any repairs if they are necessary before the sta tion is moved.

Kryl Play and Orchestra To Here November 15 Bohumir Kryl, famed conductor who is well known to many million of people all over the United' States and Europe and who for the past country contimuolusly for the past thirty-five years with his fine Sym phony Band and who is now on nation-wide tour with his Symphony Orchestra is the only prominent pre sent day conductor we have known to have a dual liking and talent for both music and sculpturing. Many have been the laurels heap ed upon him, among them v'«s being commissioned by the United States Government to supervise and direct the training of all the Army bands in the various training camps throughout the country. Kryl, though quite modest and non boastful in his achievements, is popular fellow and is popular not only for his high class Symphonic organizations, his vast contributions to the cultural and education field of our nation, or for his inspiring and uplifting programs of the Master’s great classics, but for his own self. This famous orchestra comes to Newberry for afternoon and evening concerts on Friday, November 15 Both concerts will be held in the Newberry High School auditorium.

STATE ADDS ONE MILL TO TAXES Gus Metchicas, for 12 years con nected with the Busy Bee cafe here, has returned to the cafe as manager and one of the owners. Gus will be remembered here by most Newber- rians where he is well liked. He left Newberry about 1924 and has lived in Greenville since that time. Mr. Metchicas’ family consists of his wife and three children, Carrie who is in high school, Anastasia in grammar school, and Jimmie who works in Greenville and will not be with the family here. Gus invites all his old friends to drop in at the Busy Bee and see him. Dennis Athanos says the cafe will of fer a special dinner Sunday after next as a sort of welcome to Gus’ return. The menu will be printed here and Dennis promises a lot of eat ing for a small price. Pinckney N. Abrams, County Aud itor, has received instructions from the Office of the Comptroller Gen eral to add one mill to County Taxes for the retirement of state bonds. This was authorized by legislation in the last general assembly. The coun ty delegation also found it necessary to add 1 3-4 mills additional this year to take care of the cost of the arm ory and the agricultural building. One-fourth mill was added to the three-fourths mill now alloted the county board of education to take rare of an annual deficit the board has been running. These additions to general county levy plus the one mill State levy makes a total in crease of 3 mills which taxpayers will find on their bill this year. JOLLY STREET PENNANT WINNER SHIPMENTS OF AIRCRAFT FOR BRITAIN HIGH LOCALS FACE ORANGEBURG FRIDAY NIGHT Coach Hedgepath’s eleven will take the field against a strong Orangeburg High team under the lights Friday night at 8:00 p. m. Orangeburg, as usual, featuring heavy weight in both line and backfield, will be out to re peat last year’s victory over the Bull dogs, but the Newberrians will be fighting to better their 50-50 record thus far in the season. This contest should be one of the best high school games that will be played here this sason. The Bulldogs have suffered quite a few setbacks due to injuries, but replacements will try to fill these spots. Albert Bodie, mainstay at right end, is out for the rest of the season with two jriok knees, and Ralph Connelly at right guard, will probably not see service Friday night due to a sprained wrist suffered at Anderson. Tommy Cromer’s usually brilliant play has been dimmed by an injured knee, and it is doubtful whether he will be in the starting line-up. Washington, Sept. 29.—Aircraft shipments reached a new high in August and helped boost exports to the United Kingdom for the month to *12,539,000. This was the largest monthly figure since November, 1924. The Commerce department, re porting today on Augut sales abroad, said that the plane exports totaled $30,000,000 and that exports to Bri tain were $17,000,000 above the July total. The United States’ total export trade during August was $349,928,- 000, compared with $317,000,000 in the preceding month. Imports amounted to $220,000,000 a decline of $12,000,000 from July. Exports to Canada rose $7,500,000 to $70,707,000 and those to Japan increased $10,000,000 to $25,188,000. Exports to nearly all o-ther countries declined, although those to South America and Africa held close to the July levels. Some gains in trade were reported for Russia Sweden, Finland, Irland, Yugoslavia and Greece. Light travels in straight lines in the air.

(By Clarence Metts) The 1940 baseball season came to a close Saturday, seeing Jolly Street a pennant winner and champion of the Dutch Fork fans thruout the playing season, by winning 15 games and losing 5 in league scheduled standings. In the semi-finals Jolly Street eli minated Chapin in 3 games and stopper Prosperity in 2 sraight in the finals. The officials wish to express ap preciation to their many loyal fans and supporters of 1940 season. As to the members of the club wr.rds cannot express apreciation which they rendered to the Jolly Street Com munity. It was indeed an honor to have players and stars at Jolly Street such as T. Shealy, Earl Sing- ley, Bouknight, Sease, Corley, WockI. Halfacre, Boozer brothers, and local stars such as Kinard brothers and others. Congratulations goes to Coach “Fox” Boozer and his players. The Rev. B. S. Hodges of Union, chairman of the honorary member ship committee renorted the group recommended for honorary life mem bershin J. Walker Floyd of Dillon and Charles E. Jackson of the bu reau of fisheries. Dr. Archibald Rutledge and Rev. F. Dudley Jones of Clinton had been elected to this honor previously The morning session beginning at ten o’clock, following registration, included instructive talks by Harold E. Blakely, field project leader of the federal wild life service now operating out of Charleston; E. V. Smith of the Alabama Agricultural Experi ment station, Auburn, on manage ment of fish nonds; Verne E. Davi son of the soil conservation service on utilizing unprofitable land for wild .life; and Mr. Hodges of Union, the principal speaker, whose subject was “Education in Conservation.” After a barbecued chicken dinner, served by the Mollohon Girl Scouts, another session was held in the club building when sportsmen heard a talk by Charles E. Jackson of Wash ington, deputy commissioner of the department of game and fish. Mr. Jackson is a former South Carolinian. The business period was held about four o’clock in the afternoon. Invitations from both Sumter and Georgetown were heard for the next annual convention. The executive committee, headed by Mr. Williams, will choose one of these places. Later in the afternoon of the meeting day a sports rodeo was held and expert shooting demonstrations given by Capt. M. E. Hicks. 20 YEARS AGO Mr. E. K. Counts, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Counts of the Central com munity, and a student of theology at the seminary in Columbia and ''a graduate of Newberry College and a member of the St Paul’s church, preached his first sermon at St. Pauls last Sunday morning. Those who heard it say that it was a good ser mon and well delivered and they are proud that he comes from their church and community. This congre gation has given many young men to the ministry of the Lutheran church and at one time had the record of furnishing more students and more graduates and more ministers to the Lutheran church than any other con gregation in the synod. It was very thoughtful of Pastor Koon to insist that Mr. Counts preach his first ser mon in his home church. e “Bake-Rite” Baker; jumped rigMt into popularity at the start and bias fair to be a great success.

FDR REBUKES FOR TOSSING EGGS AT WENDELL WILLKIE Washington, Oct. 1.—President Roosevelt said today he thought it was thoroughly reprehensible that Wendell L. Willkie had been sub jected to such harsh treatment in Michigan as the tossing of eggs at his procession. Reporters inquired at a press con ference whether he had noticed in the papers that a “presidential can didate had been subjected to harsh treatment in Michigan. The president said he had not, but that his secretary, Stephen Early, had advised him that eggs had been thrown at the Republican nominee and that a woman employe of the R FC had hurled articles from a build ing in Detroit about the time Will kie passed. Mr. Roosevelt said he imagined that under the laws of almost ev ery state such action constituted a crime and assault. The RFC worker should forfeit her employment for doing what she had, he declared. Sunday, November 3, has been des ignated as Special Gift Day at St. Paul’s church, Pomaria. The church is undertaking to pay off an indebt edness of $1,149.25. In a statement concerning the day Pastor Roof said: “We feel that God has richly blessed our country and community, therefore, in return, we wish to ex press our gratitude to Him by bring ing our gifts.” It is suggested that everyone lay aside something definite for this day and bring the gift to the church. If impossible to worship on that day it is suggested that the grift be mailed to F. A. Boland, Prosperity. Everyone in invited to attend this special day at old St. Paul’s church. The membership is anxious to pay off the debt so that it can be dedi cated, debt free, within the next short while.
