ONE OF THE MOST /
important events at Newberry
College just before commencement
each year is the Newberry College
May Day, which is to be held this
year on May 2. The student body of
the college voted Friday and elected
Miss Harriette Harden, May Queen,
with Miss Carolyn Budhanan, Maid-of-
Honor. Both Harriette and Carolyn
are local students. Hariette is the
strikingly attractive brunette daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Harden who
live on College street extension. Car
olyn is the popular blond daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. James W. Buchanan of
Pope street. Attendants to the
queen will be selected later, each
class choosing its own attendants.
Mrs. Mae Denton, director of physi
cal education for girls, has already
been training them for the May Day
dances. Each year May Day grows
larger . . . more successful . . . and
each year attracts more out-of-town-
ers to Newberry. This promises to
be the beat . , . plan to see it.

SOCIAL NEWS AS
well as other news has been on
the decline for the past several
weeks. Those who didn’t have influ
enza were afraid of catching it, so
it was a good thing for the health of
all that so many of the clubs and so
cial gart(herings/ of all kinds were
postponed. Moat of the bridge cluibs
will be beginning anew by next week,
at which time we hope there will be
more news of social interest for this
comer of The Sue.

A. H. THOMAS ASSISTANT
MANAGER OF MOLLOHON
A. H. Thomas the new assistant
manager of Mollohon Mill started on
his job there Monday morning. He
succeeded W. M. Tedford who is now
manager of the Kendall Mill in Edge-
field. Mr. Thomas was overseer of
the cloth room at Mollohon before be

Where he was locaited for about four
years.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas will move to
Newberry as soon as the Tedford
home in vacated.
“THE SPONTANEOUS REVIVAL
of old fashioned square dancing
is a national phenomenon. Begin
ning in a dozen separated comers of
the country, it has now swept from
New York to California and from
Dallas to Detroit. Jitterbugs and
businessmen, slum dwellers and so
ciety matrons have discovered its
pleasures and become hilarious de
votees.’’
One of the most colorful and en
thusiastic of the revivalists of the
old fashioned square dance is Dr.
Lloyd Shaw, principal of the Chey
enne Mountain public school in Col
orado Spring. Right in his home town
he has Started 25 different dance
groups, all of which keep on grow
ing. He demonstrates the wholesome
pleasures and healthy release that
dances provide.” He says “Let’s
bring grandfather’s old dances back,
but let’s bring them back alive! This
old dancing is packed with hidden
treasures.”
So friends, one and all, join the
American Legion Auxiliary in its
weekly square dance at the World
ago.
“Old trees cannot be transplant
ed,” the White-bearded ex-monarch is
fond of saying.
His intimates say that if anything
is certain ip these uncertain times
it is that the former emperor has no
thought of quitting Doom. Every
nook and corner of his Doom estate
of the village and its surroundings,
are familiar to him and he is serenely
content to remain where he is.
He is hale and hearty and he takes
deep interest in the war although it
has affected him directly but little.
A huge map of Europe and Africa
is spread on the table in his smok
ing room and during the war move
ments last May and June he stuck lit
tle flags in the map each day to in
dicate progress of the fighting. He
resumed this activity recently with
thr fighting in Greece, Albania and
Africa.
He followed- the Polish and west
ern campaigns closely and lost no
oportunity, when same soldier or of
ficer from the front happened through
Doom, to question him closely about
the actions.
RUM CONTRIBUTED TO FALL OF
FRANCE BRYSON DECLARES
Baltimore, Jan. 26.—The use of al
cohol was cited tonight by Rep. Jos
eph R. Bryson (D-S.C.) as a contri
buting factor in the fall of France,
achieved by a Germany which “has
pushed her standard of self-discipline
and sobriety to even higher levels.”
“Will tomorrow find America soft
ened by alcohol for the same sort of
moral collapse which spelled disaster
for France or will we be found hard-
. ened for any possible test of strength”
he asked in a speech prepared for del
ivery at the annual meeting of the
Maryland Anti-Saloon league.
Bryson was unable to appear be
cause of influenza, but his speech was
read by William E. Chandler, his sec
retary.
“To those who evidence no con
cern over this particular problem,”
Bryson^ continued, “I say give me an
answer to the War department’s lat
est report that every other applicant
approximately 50 percent, is repected
for regular service in the United
States army because of failure to
meet minimum standards of physical
well-being.”
Bryson said that for “many months
whan the British were buying from
American manufacturers hundreds of
airplanes, tanks and other pieces of
mechanized equipment, our whiskey
purchases were the chief factor in
maintaining a favorable balance of
trade for Great Britain.”
Newberry's Trade Days
Receive Recognition
Word comes from the Newberry
Ohamiber of Commerce that one more
feather was recently placed in the
cap of “The City of Friendly Folks”.
A Washington, D. C., national publi
cation recognizes only two South
Carolina towns in descriptions of out-
standoing trade events throughout
the nation.
A commercial survey of the coun
try has been made by the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, one of
the results being publication and di
stribution of a manual entitled “Spe
cial Sales Events”, issued under the
date of January 1941. Columbia and
Newberry were the only two South
Carolina towns mentioned, and a des
cription of Newberry Trade Days,
held each year in the spring and fall,
was given. The listings were made
on the basis of well-rounded and
workable methods used in promoting
the various events.

THE NEWBERRY SUN
Kinard Urges
Preparing for
New Way of Life
Newberry College President Speaks In
Greenwood To Teachers
Greenwood, Jan. 23.—A challenge to
prepare the youth of America for a
new way of life was given members
of the Greenwood County Education
association by Dr. James C. Kinard,
president of Newbery college, at the
regular meeting yesterday. President
B. L. Frick, acting superintendent of
the Ninety Six schools, presided.
Basing his address on the thought
that defense is the main topic of in
terest today, Dr. Kinard declared that
morale, not munitions, constitutes the
defense of a nation, as is being shown
in England. “I feel that from now
on some type of military training will
be a basic part of our educational sys
tem,” he said in this new way of Irv
ing.
“Hard Work Needed”
“What I like to term ‘the philosophy
of easy living’ has become more wide
spread among our young people,” the
speaker continued. “We are headline
hunters today, reading too little and
too lightly. The teacher’s task will be
to inspire youth to read worthwhile
things. A deepened interest in good
literature, athletics, dramatics, and
other phases of education should be
emphasized.”
The audience of teachers was told
that it must insist on hard work in
the schoolroom, and that there was
no appreciation within the pupil for
the teacher who gave good grades
without requiring work.
“We must not forget the church in
our training for self-defense,” Dr.
Kinard added. “The only free nations
in the world now are those whose
leaders still recognize God. In pre
paring the morale of our people we
must exalt Almighty God.”
S. C. Farmers*
Credit Among Best
Average of $13,000 Per Day Borrowed
And Repaid by Credit Members
1 *
Washington, Jan. 23.—South Caro
lina farmers borrowed and repaid an
average of $13,000 a day during every
day of 1940 through their 23 produc
tion credit associations, C. R. Arnold,
production credit commissioner of the
Farm Credit administration announc
ed today.
An excellent repayment record lias
been achieved on the unusually high
number of 10,574 loans made by the
associations during 1940. Oniy seven
states exceeded South Carolina in the
number of loans made. They were
North Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, Miss
issippi, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Texas.
The value of these loans totalled $4,-
760,945. The average loan per farmer
in South Carolina was smaller than
in most states and 27 exceeded it in
the amount of loans extended.
By the end of the year, cash repay
ments on loans amounted to $4,536,-
602. In addition, loans totalling $154,-
390, had been renewed and were con
sidered in good standing; bringing the
total repayments to $4,690,992.
“Despite the fact that prouction
credit started from scratch,” Arnold
stated, “with tfarmer-directoiis who
bad very little previous experience in
the lending of money, the production
credit associations in the last seven
years have surpassed all expecta
tions.”
Nationally, 525 production credit as
sociations last year made 230,940
loans totalling $349,581,237. Their
losses have been less than one-haif of
one per cent of their total gross busi
ness, which has exceeded one and
three-fourths billion dollars over the
past seven years.

Columbia, Jan. 25.—A committee
may be created to study the advisa
bility of enacting a law to require
artesian wells in lower South Caro
lina to be capped when not in use in
order to preserve this supply of
drinking water.
Representative Ernest Richardson
of Horry county said today he was
studying the matter and might offer
a resolution to create such a com
mittee. Some states already have
such laws.
He said that Dr. Stephen Tabor,
University of South Carolina geolo
gist, whom the federal government
has repeatedly recognized as an
authority by calling him in on geol
ogic questions in Cuba and in this
country, had told him that the
water level was endangered by wast
age of water through thousands of
wells which had been drilled and later
abandoned.
Richardson, whose county has num
erous artesian wells, exhibited a let
ter in Which Tabor quoted the follow
ing statement of Charleston water
works :
MRS. ANNA S. WHEELER
Mrs. Anna Shealy Wheeler, 68, wi
dow of C. Eugene Wheeler, died
Thursday morning at the Columbia
hospital after three weeks’ illness.
She was a lifelong resident of near
Little Mountain and was a devoted
member of Holy Trinity Lutheran
church.
Funeral services were held Friday
at 11 o’clock at Holy Trinity church
with Rev. E. Z. Pence in charge. In
terment followed in the church ceme
tery.
Surviving are two sons, C. M.
Wheeler and F. L. Wheeler; four
daughters, Mrs. V. S. Bickley, Misses
Louetta and Estelle Wheeler, Mrs.
Howard Cromer; five brothers, L. S.,
Elbert, R. O., V. O. and Ernest Shealy;
one sister. Miss Cora Shealy, and two
grandchildren.
“The municipal supply for Char
leston was obtained from arteaian
wells during the period from 1878 un
til 1903 when the Goose Creek supply
was put into use and the arteaian
wells flowed open unused. During *
tiro ugh in 1917 the wells were placed
in service and the maximum flow wag
about 900,000 gallons a day.
“After the period of service in 1917,
the wells were closed so there would
be no waste from them. In 1927 a
second rought made it necessary to
place the wells in servile again and
at that time the flow was 1,350,000 a
day, or an increase of nearly one-half
a million gallons a day more than in
1917.”
In a letter to Tabor from Joseph
Hyde Pratt, engineer consultant of
the department of interior’s geolog
ical survey, the latter suggested five
provisions to be included in a state
law regulating the ground water sup
ply:
“1. State permit for drilling wells.
“2. Log of well to be sent to state
geologist.
“3. Well to be cased its entire dis
tance.
“4. Abandoned well to be capped.
“5. Wells used intermittently to be
provided with valves.”
Discussed With Governors
Pratt said he had discussed these
points “with several of the South
ern governors and all of them felt
that there should be no difficulty in
passing legislation covering these
paints.”
Artesian wells are created by
drilling through the impervious layer
within which water is caught. Hie
source of the water supply is in the
uplands where this layer is near
the surface, but as the layer ap
proaches the lowlands, it is usually
deeper under the surface. The pres
sure of water from the higher area—
the source—forces the water up im
mediately when the impervious layer
is bored.
