PAGE FIVE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1940 THE NEWBERRY SUN Society and CLUB £ NOTES Ji By DORIS ARMFIELD LOVELY PARTY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON Mrs. Ernest Brooks, Mrs. i. E. Stevens, and Mrs. J. Edwin Stokes were co-hostessos at a party on Wed nesday afternoon of last week. Out- of town guest at the party was Mrs. John Stevens, houseguest of Mrs. J. E. Stevens. The front of Mrs. Ernest Brooks home, where the party was held, was thrown en suite and the rooms decor ated with Thanksgiving colors, bronze and yellow predominant. Eight tables were laid for contract. Winning the prizes, attractively wrapped in gold cellophane and tied with gold ribbon, were the following: high: Mrs. Marion Wicker; second, Mrs. W. A. Mason, consolation, Miss Ruth Shanks; bingo, Mrs. John W. Billingsley. Invited to call after cards were Mrs. O. B. Cannon, Mrs. W. H. Hunt, Miss Annie Bynum, and Mrs. O. O. Copeland. The hostesses served a tempting plate of assorted sandwiches, cup cakes, and pickles with hot tea. SQUARE DANCES While talking with friends the other morning, they told me of going to the square dance at the Legion hut Thursday night, and having more fun than they have had in a long time. We’ve heard quite a bit about the dances, but until this time haven’t been able to get out to one. They are sponsored each Thursday night from eight until twelve, by the American Legion Auxiliary, with music by a real, old-fashioned hill billy band. Even if you don’t know how to square dance, don’t let that keep you from going. It doesn’t take any time to catch on to what the steps are, and before you realize it you are hav ing more fun than you had imagined you would have. Go to one of the dances, and we bet you will go back again. They are always held at the World War Memorial Home, on the Fair grounds. ANOTHER DANCE Another dance which promises to be fun for those who like dancing is the one to be tonight (Thursday! at the Newberry Country club, as a benefit dance for the Red Cross. The dance, which is to begin at nine and last until one, is not for club mem bers only, but for the public. Part of the elaborate plans for the dance will be the music, by Chris Kaufmann and his well known and popular College N orchestra. Admission will be $1.00 script; spectators, $.50. Go to the dance and help the Red Cross. NEW'BERRY-WOFFORD It has been quite a while since this reporter has seen so many Newberry people at an out-of-town affair as were at the Newberry-Wofford game in Spartanburg on Thanksgiving. There could have been several reas ons for the crowds. It was the only College game in the state, and it would be the game to decide the Lit tle Four championship, whether Newberry would capture the coveted title, or allow Wofford to walk away with it. All Newberrians were very well satisfied with the outcome of the game. Our reason for wanting to see the game, and we imagine tb“ reason of most of the Newberrians there, is that they’ve either seen Newberry play before, or have heard what a bang-up game they play, and wanted to see the Indians in action once again. Among those from Newberry there were the following: Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Purcell and sons, Keitt and Buzz, Johnson Hagood Clary, Pete Cole man, Elizabeth Mower, Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Summer and daughter, Pauline, Frances Wallace, Sava Lin da Goggans, MaiCy Anne Davis, Rook Purcell, Anne Crooks of Mary land, Mr. and Mrs. Claude W. San • ders, Mrs. Jesse Mayes, Miss Emily Newberry, Caroline Mayes, Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Eskridge, Professors Er ickson and Hansen of Newberry Col lege, and Miss Florence Triiberg. formerly of Newberry. I NEWBERRY-CLEMSON? A sports writer in one of Sunday’s papers revealed that Coach Laval had secretly tried to get a game for Newberry with the winner of the Clemson-SFiurman game Saturday. The reason for secrecy was that if the news leaked out, there might be those who wouldn’t want Newberrv to play the big teams, and could stop it. Since the news has become generally known, there is only the remotest possibility that Clemson will give Newberry a game. Thete are many Newberry fans who would like to see Newberry play in the big four, believing we could beat Citadel, maybe Carolina, and give Clemson and Furman a plenty good game. This reporter joins with other New berrians in hoping we get the game with Clemson. ( HRISTMAS SEAL SALE Now that the Red Cross Drive is ever, Newberrians are given the chance to buy Christmas seals, to heln with the fight against tuberculo sis. Ninety-five percent of the income from the sale of seals remains in the state where the sales are made, F ;ve percent goes to the National Tu berculosis Association which is con stantly working out more efficient and economical methods for the fight against tuberculosis. COLLEGE STUDENTS HOME Most of the college students at out of town colleges spent the weekend at home during the Thanksgiving holidays. Among those seen by this reporter were the following: Jack Workman, Columbia; Frances Wallace and Mary Johnson, Coker; Pauline Summer, Agnes and Nancy Mayes, Carrie Lee McSwain, Julia Smith, all of Winthrop; Dalton Carpenter, Tom Davis, George Wright, Callie Boyi Parr, Oscar Summer, Bill Gatlin, Walter Bodie, James Senn, of Clem son; Keitt Purcell, King Boyd, Rob ert Houseal, Jim Todd, The Citadel' Jean Copeland, Shorter; and many others. CHRISTMAS TREE One of the most worthwhile pro jects in Newberry each year is the Community Christmas Tree, sponsored by the Mothers’ Club and the Ameri can Legion Auxiliary, which provides Christmas for those boys and girls who would not have any otherwise. Mrs. J. D. Fb-ench, who is chairman of the Christmas Tree committee asks that anyone who itrishes to provide a Christmas box for a boy or girl, or who will give any clothes, toys, or other gifts, to please get in touch with her or with one of the commit tees seen elsewhere in this paper. The Christmas tree, which will be at Aveleigh Presbyterian Church this year, plans to have Christmas for fif ty-five girls and boys, and needs your help. Each of us will want to do our part to share our Christmas hap piness with someone else. IS THIS YOU?

Landon said today that if the United States modifies its neutrality act ‘to permit our ships to enter the wan zones, then it will be a case o£ ‘Johnny, get your gun, get your gun, get your gun’.” r The 1936 Republican presidential nominee addressed the Cooperative Club of Kansas City. “The overwhelming majority of the American people are heart and soul with the English in their great fight, for all the things we believe in, and the kind of world we want to live’ in,” he said. “But I think we have gone about as far as we can go in helping them, without involving our-^ selves as an active belligerent. And, once we become belligerent, it inevi tably follows that we must send ani, expeditionary force to Europe once again. . . . “I supported the change (in the£ neutrality law) that was made a year ago last September, but I can not support any further change, be cause I believe that if we ever start sending our ships into the war zones we might as well declare war and prepare to send an armed expedition ary force to Europe.” THE FORGOTTEN MAN has been remembered with 3 LUXURIOUS YARULEY PRODUCTS By Appointment to the Prince of Walea 1021—1930 T HE generous shaving bowl, of turned wood, is filled with Yardley Lavender Shaving Soap, which gives a rich, heavy, toftening lather.

If you are for quotas put “X” in this box If you are against quotas put "X” in this box YES NO " 1 U>.M Cotton producers will have the opportunity on Saturday, December 7, to decide whether cotton marketing quotas, which have been in effect during the past three years, will apply to the 1941 crop. Every producer of cotton should go to his community polling place where he will be given a ballot, like the one shown above, on which to express his opinion. It is both a privilege and a duty of each producer to cast his ballot in the referendum. Whether the referendum is really representative of the farmers’ thinking depends upon the number of producers who vote on December 7. * _ Southern Cooking to the South where cotton and cooking are equrlly ftmed, thou- > sands of thrifty housewives find that cottonseed oil products add to the tastiness of famed Southern foods.
