Chamber of Commerce officials
have expressed desire to not have
any publicity given unfinished pro
jects the Chamber is undertaking. It
seems that some projects would be
aided by advance publicity—at any
rate it would let the public know that
the Chamber is hard at work at some
thing, whether it comes through or
not. And there’s one thing the Sec
retary and his helpers have been
pushing for several months and little
or nothing said about it. In the first
chamber bulletin of a few days ago
we noticed on the page of officers for
the year an air transportation com
mittee comprised of T. E. Davis,
chairman, L. F. Fischer, Dr. J. C.
Kinard, John Clarkson, Pete Cole
man and Tom Pope. Inquiring as to
the function of such a committee we
learned, among other things, that the
Chamber has been steadily working
for several months now trying to get
a landing field for Newberry. All
needed is the land. The government
is willing to build one, finance one
Newberry College is ready and anx
ious to support a CAA unit here. In
structors would be sent if such
unit was established. Practically
every other college in the state has
a unit and there's a landing field
built according to government regu
lations. Such regulations are rather
rigid and in local officials searching
far and wide, two lots near the city
have been found suitable for a land
ing field. And so the only drawback
—money to buy the land for a field,
Land owners of one of these areas
will be approached by Chamber of
ficials and asked to either give the
land or sell at a sacrificing price. If
still unable to obtain the field after
that, it may be necessary to locate
BY ALL MEANS
PREVENT FIRES
Buta‘ the same time be prepared for those fires
over which you have no control.
Be sure that your home and your furniture are
amply covered by Fire Insurance.
This is the season of fires—the season when you
are most liable to suffer heavy financial loss unless
you are insured.
Those who have never carried Fire Insurance will
be surprised at its low cost. A few dollars invested
in fire insurance will yield a big return in case of fire.

one ten miles or so from town, where
land can be procured cheaper. With
the defense program underway and
so many places getting benefit of it,
Newberry should lose no time or this
chance of getting a good field.
Given “Write-up”
The October issue of The Ameri
can Home carried a story titled “The
Little House Top Garage” written
about the T. E. Davis garage apart
ment on Caldwell street. With the
article were pictures of the interior
of the apartment, the entire building
from the front, and the plans. The
Davis garage-apartment is one of at
tractive style and conveniently ar
ranged. Mrs. Davis said she had
been receiving letters from all over
the United States since the article
appeared, writers wanting to buy
plans of the apartment. She was
wondering whether it would be worth
while to have a bunch of blueprints
made.
Does Much Good
An organization in the city that
does a lots of unsung good is the
Newberry County Hospital Auxiliary
of which Mrs. H. B. Senn is presi
dent and Mrs. Walter H. Hunt, pub
licity chairman and general promo
ter. The Auxiliary was started
shortly after the hospital was built
and through the years it has aided
many a patient unable to pay his
bill. The organization has also giv
en large amounts of money toward
furnishing the hospital, buying sup
plies, and many other necessities.
Their latest undertaking includes re
decorating the interior of the build
ing and buying Venetian blinds for
the entire hospital. The Auxiliary
is counting on the support and pat
ronage of the county and town In
this project. Every year the appeal
is made for a larger enrollment in
the Auxiliary. The annual dues of
fifty cents puts membership within
the reach of all. Surely every citi
zen should have civic pride enough in
our hospital and sufficient altruism to
help in a work of that kind. Join the
Auxiliary and aid in its worthy un
dertakings.
This and That
GENERALITIES: South Carolina
sportsmen couldn’t have done a bet
ter job in naming their new state
head—Sam Williams. After all, Sam
is mainly responsible for putting the
Newberry Chapter of the Game and
Fish Association among the leading
groups of the state . . . The Cham
ber of Commerce would do good to
hire Jimmie Wiseman as a promoter.
An out-of-towner approached Jimmie
the other day asking where the post
office was here. Jimmie answered
with “Which one?’ . . . From a New
berry College news letter we read
with interest “The Newberry College
Singers under the direction of Prof
essor Paul Ensrud, who has returned
to Newberry after a year’s leave of
absence for graduate study at Syra
cuse University, are already busy at
rehearsal”. We will be glad to hear
again this outstanding group under
such capable leadership . . . The sub
ject was airplanes and one of those
kind of dry-wit feillows was in the
crowd and when his time came for a
say-so on the subject, he drawled out
“I don’t ever want to go higher than
high enough to pick corn and any
lower than low' enough to dig pota
toes.” . . . County and state Fairs
talk is in the air these days with the
cold snap also suggesting that a day
in the moutains pretty soon would
bring some wonderful views to
sight.
FARM YARD LIGHTS AID IN
PREVENTING THEFTS AND
ACCIDENTS
Yard lights lessen the number of
accidents on the farm and also dis
courage thieves and prowlers who
rely on darkness to conceal their ac
tivities, suggests Countj Agent P. B,
Ezell who advises that every farm
home with electricity should have one
or more yard lights as a convenience
in doing the chores.
Yard lights, the agent suggests
should be placed near the center oi'
greatest farmstead activity. Each
lights should be mounted at least 15
feet above the ground on either a pole
or on a building. The location for
the light should be free of other oh
structions that would prevest the
light reaching the desired area.
For greatest convenience yard
lights should be controlled from at
least two places whmh require the
use of two 3-way switches, one locat
ed at the house and the other at the
barn. With such an arrangement
the lights can be switched on when
leaving the house to light the area
between the two buildings and turn
ed off upon arriving at the barn, and
vice versa.
Homemade yard lights can be con
structed at very nominal cost by us
ing a washpan as a reflector, the
agent states. Plans for constructinf 1
such a lights are given in Rura
Electrification Activities for 4-H
Club Members and Others.” This
circular may be secured from county
farm and home demonstration agents
or the agricultural engineering divis
ion of the Extension Service at Clem-
son College.

S. C. TURKEY CROP LARGER
Columbia, Sept. 30—South Caro
lina’s turkey crop is expected to be
not only 10 per cent larger than last
year’s but the largest ever praduced
in the state.
Frank O. Black, statistician here
for the U. S. department of agri
culture, said that indications point
ed tc a record crop of 179,000 head.
A total of 163,000 head were raised
last year and the average for the
five year period from 1932 through
1936 was 143,000 head.
About 118,000 turkeys were sold
last year for $378,000, Black said,
while 27,000, valued at $86,000, were
consumed in farm households to make
the gross turkey income in the state
$464,000. On the same basis, he said
cash income this year should be $413,-
000 and the gross income $509,000.
The number of turkeys sold and
the income from them have more
than doubled since 1929, when 53,-
000 head were sold for $223,000,
Black said.

NEWBERRIANS HELP WITH
LUTHERAN CONFERENCES
The United Lutheran Church in
America is now engaged in promot
ing more than 200 Youth Rally
Conferences throughout the Church.
Dr. E. B. Keisler conducted the con
ference held in Christ Church, Bir
mingham, Ala., on Sunday, Septem
ber 22. On the same day, President
James C. Kinard conducted a similar
conference in the Church of the Res
urrection at Cameron andl one in
St. Nichols Church, Fairfax.
Dr. Kinard recently was in Mt.
Sidney and New Market, Virginia,
for other conferences and on Sun
day, the 29th of September, in Spring-
field and Savannah, Ga. On the ev
ening of September 8th he led a spe
cial conference for the young people
in the Church of the Resurrection in
Augusta, Georgia.
“Workers and their dependents
may rest assured that they will not
lose any accrued or future benefits
under federal old-age and survivors
insurance as the result of military
service,” declared W. H. Nixon, Jr.,
manager of the Social Security
board’s Columbia office.
The president, in a recent message
to congress, said that the social gains
of recent years including insurance
and other benefit rights must be
preserved unimpaired. The Nation
al Guard legislation recently passed
contains provisions evidencing this
policy in connection with benefit
rights of workers who are called in
to active service. The president re
commended early consideration and
enactment of necessary legislation
incident to preserving insurance pro
tection under the Social Security act,
the Railroad Retirement act and the
Railroad Unemployment Insurance
act, and to incilitate state action un
der the state unemployment insur
ance program.
The senate wrote into the excess
tax bill September 18 an amendment
giving the president board authority
to establish allowances for depend
ents and made modification in the
social security regulations for the
benefit of those entering military
service. The bill now goes to the
senate and house conferees for final
determination before being sent to
the White House for the president’s
signature.
