Every Week More People Read The Sun The Sun Strives To Serve The Whole People VOLUME 4; NO. 2 The Rising sun-1856 1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1940 published weekly HERE ARE THE FIRST FIFTY IN NEWBERRY’S TWO BOARDS IMPORTANT INFORMATION IS GIVEN FOR DRAFTEES OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE I HOPE THEY GET IT The teachers are out to add to the troubles of the solons in the forth coming legislature to the tune of some $1,500,000. They want a raise of $10 per month in salary, and you may be sure that the boys are going to think twice before saying no to the teachers. If the schools are worth maintain ing, and I think they are, those who run them should be paid decent sal aries. Prices on all living necessi ties are rising steadily: rents, cloth ing, taxes, all are higher, and the teacher is not exempt from any of them. As a matter of fact the teach er must be better clother than most of us, to take his or her place in the community. A casual look about you will reveal that most any kind of worker, relief or otherwise, is making more than the average teacher. The legislature, R seems, has no trouble finding money for everything else. The teachers have been patient and long-suflfring. They have delay ed asking for this raise frort* year to year hoping that state finances would improve. Now they realize that such a hope is out: that appro priations are going to mount regard less of the income. Aeronautieally speaking I hope they will get on the tail of the solons and stay there until they get that $10 raise. They deserve it; they need it; and our children will profit from it. The time is here to put the teachers in the self-respecting, professional class to which they belong; to pay them what they are worth rather than giving them what’s left after everybody else has a juicy teat and sucking away for dear life. The time is here to push the greedy ■from the trough and let those who have been decent about the thing come up and get a well deserved swig at the swill. TS SURE HER KITTY IS IN HEAVEN I am in receipt of the following letter: Several years ago you visited in our home and you probably remem ber me as a very helpless little in valid. I get very lonely sometimes, and especially since the death of my beautiful Persian kitten which died suddenly a few days ago. It w '• given to me by my kind neighbor, Mrs. H. L. Todd and it had almost human sense. I have written these little verses in remembrance of my kitten: Oh, little Fluffy cot of mine, For you each day I sit and pine, And wonder why you went away, When I wanted you so much to stay. There is no pet that can take your place, Since your life went out at such rapid pace. How sick you were when you came to say, Goodbye to me, on that sad day. I loved little Fluffy. I am sure of that, and I belive in Heaven I’ll find my cat. For there must be a place where the good cats go when they leave this world for the other shore.

BARBECUE SUPPER The ladies of Bachman Chapel con gregation will serve a barbecue chick en supper in the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Metts Saturday night, Nov. 2. The public is invited. Come and help a good cause. CARD OF THANKS The family of the late Mrs. Eula- lie Suber King express with deep and sincere appreciation to each and every one who bestowed their love and kindness upon our dear loving mother and wife through her recent illness and death and may God’s grace and richest blessings be with you always. ST. PHILIPS ITEMS There will be divine services Sun day night at 7:30 o’clock by our pas tor, the Rev. Emmett Roof. We are now having some mighty fine warm October weather. October is one of the finest months of the year. But it seems sad when you look at the trees and plants and see them turning all different colors. Those beautiful colors attract the eye, and tells us that winter is coming. Some of the people of this com munity have dug potatoes and some have made good yields. Some farmers who have gathered com report it very short while others are making a fine crop. On the sick list is Mrs. C. L. Ruff, and we trust that she will soon be up again. Be sure to go to the polls Novem ber 5th and vote right. DRAFT CARDS TO BE FILED ALPHABETICALLY Columbia, Oct. 28.—Draft regis trants who have been unable to find their serial numbers in the press or who have not had time to visit the offices of their local board were urg ed today to wait until after the na tional lotery tomorrow when order numbers will be assigned and regis tration cards will be filed alphabeti cally. Major Louis G. Osborne, public re lations officer at the state selective service headquarters, said that mem bers of local boards and newspapers had been deluged by numerous re quests to furnish serirl numbers. He pointed out that “it is obviously unfair in a democratic selective ser vice law to give serial numbers r.l- phabetically. It is much better that the cards be serially numbered bv chance.” Alphabetical listing of serial num bers will be impossible until after the lottery. Major Osborne said, but this will be done shortly after assign ment of order numbers to registrants. Chamber Is Promised 6 Months Trial Period As a result of the hearing Wednes day morning before the South Caro lina Public Service Commission, trains 15 and 16 will not be discon tinued from their forty year old sche dule between Columbia and Green ville. The Southern Railway made a pro posal some months ago to discontinue trains 15 and 16 from the Columbia- Greenville run because of the steady losses sustained in operation. Thus Nineity-Six and other towns would be served only by trains 17 and 18 on this run. Instead of entirely closing the two trains, all schedules will re main unchanged for a trial period of six months, during which time, the towns along the run will endeavor to increase the business of the trains In an effort to put them on a paying basis. To represent Newberry at the hear, ins', the Newbeirrv Chamber of Com merce sent its Secretary. Ted W. Bremer, and Mr. A. J. Bowers, Jr. Both Mr. Bremer and Mr. Bowers, along with delegations from other towns, spoke stronglv in protest of a removal of the trains in nuestion, the result being a compromise sug gested bv the railroad officials. It was reouested bv the officials that the dele- ootions present agree to do every thing in their power to pick up the business of the trains during this six months period. HIGH SCHOOL TEAM MEETS EPWORTH The Newberry high school bulldogs will meet the strong Eoworth orph anage team from Columbia here Fri- dav at 3:30 p. m. on the high school athletic field. The Epworth team. Class C champ ions last. coached by Bru Boi- neaus and Nelson Fortson, two Caro lina stars of yestervear, will be gun ning for their sixth consecutive vic tory. Incidentally, the Bulldogs will also be out for their sixth straight win. Both teams have scored heavily against Class A competition. Epworth with a 43 to 0 win over Union, New berry with a 47-0 win over Green wood. which is a good indication that both have quite an offense. Scouting reports indicate that the orphans have a light fast, aggressive team with an unusually strong passing at tack which will put quite a bit of pressure on the locals. The game should be a highlight of the county fair and the fans should avail themselves of the opportunity to see two high class teams clash. The Bulldogs have worked hard all week against Epworths running and passing attack as set up by the sec ond team and have seen them go for considerable gain. The lineup for the fracas is quite problematical at this moment, for fair week usually causes a change in the lineup as there are those who are lured away from the practice sessions by the bright lights. However, your guess is as good as mine—we look to see in the local lineup: Robertson LE; Willis LT; Dozier LG; Fellers (Capt.) C; R. Connelly RG; R. Mills RT; L. Connelly RE; King (Co-Capt.) WB; Cromer TB; Livingston SB; Day BB. OPERA HOUSE PRESENTS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT Breath-taking excitement, romance and drama, mystery, and intrigue are unfolded in the thrill packed story of Walter Wanger’s “Foreign Corres pondent”, which was directed by Al fred Hitchcock with a prominent stel lar cast and is slated for a perform ance at the Opera House Monday and Tuesday, November 4 and 5. Mr. Wanger decided to make “Foreign Correspondent” in recognition of the intrepid group of American news papermen who are serving as the na tion’s eyes and ears during the Eu ropean debacle, risking their lives daily in order to keep their own peo ple informed of the rapidly shifting panorama of war. “Foreign Correspondent” has in its principal roles Joel McCrea. Laraine Day, Herbert Marshall, George San ders, Robert Benchley, Albert Basser- man, Edmund Gwenn, Harry Daven port and Eduardo Cianelli. Follow ing his sensational hit “Rebecca”, Alfred Hitchcock, known through-out the world as the master of screen thrillers, went to work on the script of “Foreign Correspondent” and with Joan Harrison and Charles Bennett, wrote the original screenplay. James Hilton and Robert Benchley contri buted dialogue to the final script. TO ALL PERSONS OF NEWBERRY COUNTY REGISTERING UNDER THE SELECTIVE ACT. ) The Governor of South Carolina has appointed me Chairman of the Advisory Board for Registrants for this county, and has requested me to select other attorneys and competent persons in this County to assist reg. istrants in making out their ques tionnaires and advising them of their rights under the selective service law. I am glad to sav that all of the lawyers of the County have volun teered their services. I am also glad to say that Mrs. J. H Bummer, NYA area supervisor, American Le gion, Newbeny Ministerial Associa tion. Lions Club. Rotary Club, Ki- wanis Club and Chamber of Commerce have pledged their whole-hearted sup port in providing the necessary vol unteer workers to assist the lawyers In helping vou to fill out your ques- tionaire which will be sent to you in the next few days. We are setting up two committees to give vou all the assistance you will need in filling out these ques tionnaires. One committee will assist the white registrants, and will use the courtroom of the Newberry coun tv court house. The other committee will assist the colored registrants and will be located in the grand jury room of the Newberry county courthouse. We invite all registrants to come to the Newberry countv courthouse for help in filling out their questionnaires. Every worker is volunteering his services, and there will be no charge whatever to anv registrant. At this time, we think that both local Boards will begin to mail out the question naires to you about November 1st. We understand that about* 100 ques tionnaires will be mailed out each day until every registrant in the county shall have received his ques tionnaire. Under the law, you are re quired to fill out that questionnaire and return it to your local Board within 5 days. There is nothing for you to do until you receive your ques tionnaire from your local Board, but after you receive it you should act promptly in filling it out and return ing it to your local Board, and we hope that you will come to the New berry county courthouse to get your assistance. Both committees work ing at the courthouse will be supervis ed by lawyers, and they will have plenty of competent help. The filling out of the questionnaire is very im portant to you and your local Board and the Government. This question naire calls for certain information, which should be furnished correctly in every detail. From the informa tion given in this questionnaire, you will be classified. "Xfie law provides heavy penalty for the giving of false information, and even if incorrect in formation is given innocently, it will prove troublesome to your Local Board and other Government Agents, and will at least be embarrassing to you. There is nothing for you to do un til you receive your questionnaire. As soon as you get it, read it over carefully, and see what information it is necessary for you to have in or der to answer all questions, and then come to the Newberry county court house prepared to answer all of the questions. In an effort to try to help you in getting the information you will need, the following is a summary of some of the information each registrant will have to give: The date of his birth, place of birth, place of residence, telephone number if any, social security number, if any. Those of you who have social securi ty numbers, be sure to bring your card with you. Those of you who are engaged in farm work, should be able to give the following information: Do you own the farm upon which you work, or do you work for wages, share cropper, rent, lease or other wise? If you do not own a farm, when does your agreement or lease expire? The number of years that you have farmed; and on the farm that you work, be able to give the number of acres of different crops planted each year; the number of livestock there on; and the number of people work ing on that farm. Those of you who claim depend ents, should be able to give the fol lowing information with regard to each dependent: The name, age, and relationship of each dependent. When did you begin supporting each dependent? How much did yost contribute dur ing the last 12 months to each de pendent ? How much did each dependent earn for himself during the last 12 months ? How much did it cost you to sup port you and your dependents during the last 12 months How much did each dependent re ceive from other sources? How much were you given by others in helping to support you and ycur dependents? How much did you earn in your work during the last 12 months? How much income did you have from other sources? (Such as rents, interests, dividends, etc.) Be prepared to give a list of all property owned by you, and a list of all property owned by each of your dependents. This will include a list of all real estate, stocks, bonds, notes mortgages and cash, if more than $500.00. If any of this property should be mortgaged or pleged for a debt, be able to give the amount of the debt. Be able to give the net income received from any such pro perty. You do not have to list clothing, personal effect or household effects. If you rent your home, how much rent do you pay, and who is your landlord ? , If you support any one, other than your wife, who is over 18 years of age, they will have to sign your questionnaire with you. When you come to have your questionnaire fill ed out, be sure and bring it with you: and also, your social security number and card, if you have one; and also, all persons who are dependent on you, over 18 years of age, except your wife; also, come prepared to answer all of the above questions, and any other questions contained in your questionnaire. Please bear it in mind that it will be necessary for you to go to the Newberry county courthouse to get the assistance of the members of the Bar. They, and those who are assist ing them, are going to see that you have ample assistance in filling out your questionnaire. The Govern ment wants everybody treated alike, and we are trying to do that. The only help anybody can give you is to see that you give all the informa tion required by the Government in these questionnaires. The Committees to assist the reg istrants in filling out the question naire will be in their respective places in the Newberry county courthouse each week-day at 9 o’clock in the morning and will continue in session each day as long as necessary. FRED. H. DOMINICK, Chairman of Advisory Board for Registrants in Newberry County.
