Holly Ridge, N. C., Feb. 11.—This
roadside village 30 miles jiorth of
Wilmington is rapidly blossoming in
to a fullfledged national defense
boom town.
Two months ago it was but a ham
let of twenty-eight inhabitants. To
day it is mushrooming into a city,
for here Uncle Sam is building Camp
Davis, an anti-aircraft firing center
to cost $10,000,000 and house 20,000
soldiers.
Early in December there was
nothing to do in Holly Ridge but sit
around the stove in Postmaster C. C.
Hines’s general store.
A visitor could see only a few
houses and a filling station and store
on one side of the railroad tracks
and a tiny freight depot on the
other. Nobody ever bothered to stop
here save a few salesmen who sold
stock for Hines’s store.
Now things are different.
Land which could be bought v>r a
dollar an acre has skyrocketed, and
real estate men are selling small
lots described by a villager as “two
collard rows 76 feet long’’ for $1,600
each.
Thousands flock here daily to work
and seek work. The state highway
patrol has erected quarters for four
patrolmen who are on twenty-four-
hour duty.
A clothing store, drug store, pool
room, cafe, hardware store, real es
tate office and myriad hot dlog and
small lunclj stands have sprung up.
A theater is under construction.
Nearly 5,000 men are at work on
the project, cutting streets and dig
ging ditches. Temporary office
buildings have been erected on the
four-square-mile area, and ( perman
ent buildings have been begun.
The railroad company has added a
depot and has installed telegraph
facilities. The power company which
serves Wilmington has built an 11,-
000-volt, three-phase temporary line
to the camp site, bringing the first
electric lights ever seen there.
For the first time in its history,
Holly Ridge has a parking problem.
State patrolmen discourage parking
on the shoulders of the highway, for
it is one the the main routes of New
York to Florida tourist travel; and
as a result, parking places cannot
be found within blocks of the center
of the town.
Men are working seven days a
week, and some skilled labor has been
put on a program of two ten hour
shifts a day instead of three shifts
of eight hours as at first.
The twenty-four hours a day the

One of the richest ways to enjoy
the history of the Jewish people is
to become familiar with their legend
ary history. One can obtain these
charming stories at no great out
lay per volume. The set of seven
books sells for $15, or one can pur
chase the volumes separately,but this
way costs $2.00 more. The cultural
world is indebted to The Jewish Pub
lication of America, Philadelphia,
for these legends that are intensely
interesting to non-Jews ast well as to
Jews. Volume .V., pp. xi-466, $3.00,
is filled with notes clarifying the
data given in Vols. I and II—•!.,
“From The Creation To Jacob,” and
II, “From Joseph To The Exodus.”
This does not mean that this parti
cular volume will interest only the
scholar; it does mean that it will
interest anyperson interested in folk
lore and especially comparative folk
lore. This book will introduce the
reader into the whole field of Semitic
research and in addition open up
much of early Christian literature.
The volume enhances the value of
the foregoing books, demonstrating
more . completely the monumental
work of Dr. Ginzburg in blazing this
brilliant pathway into the various
popular conceptions of the Jewish re
ligion, theological anthropomor
phisms and anthropopathisms, ts
well as social ethics, culled from a
vast literature, Mohammedan as well
as Jewish and Christian.
Father John Forest, Saint An
thony’s Guild, is an untiring helper
in giving me the best of Catholic lit
erature for me to pass on as recom
mendations for my Catholic friend’s
an4 readers. “Sacerdos et Ponti-
fex,” by Francis Clement Kelley con
tains delightful letters to a Bishop.
Note this, “Your whole life as a bish
op will depend on what you make
your master-thought.” Read what
“Paul” writes to his old bishop and
what the bishop has to say. “Little
Reminders” close the book; they are
gems of beauty and advice. “They
Have Seen His Star,” by Valentine
Long, are essays of charm and cul
ture, in deep appreciation of such
outstanding characters as Newman,
Meynell, Belloc, Chesterton, and
others. This book will appeal to the
finest cultured mind as a work in
the field of Catholic letters. They
reach a high plane of thought. “Not
on Bread Alone,” also by Valentine
Long, is no lesser book, superb in
verbal expression, striking a high
spiritual level.a meliorist with a hap
py leaning toward optimism, lifting
the latch for human hearts to catch
a vista of life and literature. It will
satisfy many a human heart for days
to come. Attention is called to a
fine series of Catholic pamphlets,
most of them by Isidore O’Brien, 5c-
10c., and each well done; their titles
are: The Gospel Parables, in four
folders,—God and Justice, Man’s
True Friend, Our Moral Lifer and
Understanding the Message of
Christ; other titles are Sculpturing
Truth, Our Father Who Art in Heav
en, The Father’s Shadow, Christ the
Physician, The Light of the Cross,
The Shadow of the Cross, Brides of
Christ. The church Our Mother, two
on The Sacraments, Let Us Look at
Life, St. Anthony of Padua, Consola
tion, Hands, Soldiers of Christ, Res
ignation, What it Means lo be a Ter
tiary (by Conall O’Leary), Compen
sation, and the Ten Commandments
of Reason. Some of these have ad
ditional subjects discussed. Many of
these will interest readers of any
faith. The last one is a real chal
lenge to scepticism, agnosticism, and
atheism. It alone is worth the price
of all the rest, to say nothing of the
real merit of each one for its pur
pose. It is a vital discussion of the
basis for the theistic position. All
these can be purchased through St.
Anthony’s Guild Press, Patterson,
New Jersey.
One dollar buys “Higley’s Sunday
School Lesson Commentary for 1941”
and can be ordered from the Higley
Press, Butler, Ind. It is edited by
R. D. Higley, A. E. Bloomfield, John
Paul, and J. A. Huffman. The book
has special introductions, introduc

many practical applications, themes,
questions, summaries, and is thor

Higley Press also is alert in the
field of visual art for the Sunday
School, $1.50 per quarter, $5.00 per

As the camp rises, residents watch

Conservation Material
Available To Farmers
The Agricultural Adiustment Ad
ministration has just announced the
availability of farm year delivery of
limestone and the nearest railway
head delivery of 20 per cent super
phosphate as conservation material
to producers of Newberry County un
der the 1941 Agricultural Conserva
tion program, according to County
Agent P. B. Ezell. The 1941 deduc
tion rate per ton on farm year de
livery of lime will be $2.90. Rate of
deduction for 20 per cent superphos
phate delivered at the nearest rail
way head in the county is $13.20 per
ton in 100 pound bags. Limestone
may also be obtained in carlot ship
ments delivered at the nearest rail
way head at $2.50 per ton.
In addition to limestone and super
phosphate being furnished county
producers in 1941 by the Agricultur
al Administration as grants of aid,
there are also other arrangements
available under the 1941 program
whereby producers may elect to ob
tain locally, terracing and seed as as
sistance in carrying out conservation
and soil-building practices through
the “assignment provision” of the
1941 Agricultural Conservation Pro
gram. This provision permits the as
signing of 1941 Agricultural Conserv
ation payments to secure the cost of
the assistance obtained until pay
ments are received in the county.
The Newberry County Agricultural
Board has arrangements whereby as
signments may be made to pay for
terracing. Local firms and individu
als from time to time offer seed and
legumes on assignments.
1941 orders for limestone, super
phosphate and the filing of assign
ments of the 1941 Agricultural Con
servation payments are now being
taken at the County Office.
For detailed information relating
to soil-building work and other mat
ters pertaining to the 1941 Farm
Program, it is suggested that the
County Agent’s office, a member of
the Newberry County Committee, or
a member of the Newberry County
Farm Program Comunity Committee
be contacted.
FIRST FROM S. C. SINCE DEATH
OF JOHNSON IN 1831 IF NAMED
Charleston, Feb. 11.—Jf Senator
James F. Byrnes (D-S.C.) is ap
pointed an associate justice of the
United States supreme court, he
would be the first South CaroUnian
to serve on the high tribunal in more
than 100 years.
President Roosevelt said he would
defer announcing his appointment
for several weeks. Washington dis
patches have said the SoRth Caro
lina senator might be named.
William Johnson, appointed in
March, 1801, was the last South
Carloinian to serve as a United
States associate justice. He died Aug
ust 4, 1931. He was a judge of tb“
state supreme court at the time of his
appointment.
In 1808 Justice Johnson handed
down a decision nullifying President
Thomas Jefferson’s order for the
detention of five merchant ships in
Charleston harbor under the em
bargo act of April 25, 1808. Johnson
was appointed by Jefferson.
The (Decision was considered im
portant in its day. Under the act,
collectors of customs were instruct
ed to detain any vessel bound with
cargo to the United States ports
when, in their opinion, the inten
tion was to evade the embargo.

Today more than ever we need
friends, someone to say a good word
for us, someone to do a good turn,
someone to take time to be friendly
instead of running over us rough
shod.
Just the other day I went into a
bank feeling rather down and out
(as I always do close to borrowing
time) I had nearly lost my love for
mankind.
A certain banker was very kind to
me in that he spent several minutes
in friendly conversation after the
business had been finished.
I went from the bank with a much
lighter heart.
A smile from a friend, a good word
from one you know cares, a visit
from someone you love—all these
things make life really worth while
especially at this time when the
world seems to be rather upset.
My good friend Mr. Adolph Hitler
is very capable in taking over things
and countries and to hear him tell it
they are better off under his super
vision.
From what is happening in Roum-
mania, part of France, and other
countries, under his protecting wing,
looks like manyiare right. When they
say at last internal trouble will de
feat our European dictator.
Mr. Churchill’s sneeeh to the world
is well worth while reading and he
certainly hands Mussolini some bou
quets, quote from Churchill’s speech,
“Meanwhile, abroad in October a
wonderful thing happened. One of
the two dictators, the crafty, cold
blooded, Hack hearted, Italian, who
had thought to gain an empire on the
cheat by stabbing fallen France in
the back, got into trouble.
Without the slightest provocation,
stirred on by lust of Power and brut
ish greed, Mussolini attacked and in
vaded Greece only to be hurled back
ignominiously by the <heroic Greek
army. Who, I will say, with you as
sent, have revived before our eyes
the glories which from the classic age
gild their native land.”
Mr. Churchill says that Britan is
preparing for anything Mr. Hitler
may send them in the way of an in
vasion. We can’t help but hope
that they will be prepared to meet
what comes.

Washington, Feb. 12.—President
Roosevelt plans to insist that the
British government, in order to re
ceive aid under the lease-lend pro
gram, agree to issue sealed orders to
commanders of vessels in the royal
navy to steam for American ports if
Germany should happen to seize
England, International News Service
was told today.
The president was reported as hav
ing voiced confidence to Democratic
and Republican congressional leaders
at a recent White House conference
that England could repel invasion, at
the same time assuring them that he
intended to take care of United
States interests.
As one of the first steps to safe- 1
guard these, Mr. Roosevelt was re
ported as saying he was determined
that the Briish fleet would not fall
into the hands of the axis powers in
event they won the war. He does not
want British warships turned on this
country, he said.
While Prime Minister Churchill
last fall gave assurances that the
British fleet would go to Canada if
England falls,, it was reported the
president realized that should an
other government succeed the Church
ill regime it might not fulfill the
promise. Thus, it was said, he wants
a definite agreement with regard to
disposition of the British fleet.
Mr. Roosevelt was quoted as say
ing that he was going to “put on my
Yankee trading pants” in order to
protect United States interests dur
ing the war and afterward in peace
settlement negotiations.

PARALYSIS FUND NEARS $300
Latest figures on Newberry county
collections for the nation-wide fight
against Infantile Paralysis shows
that nearly $300 are on hand. This
is by no means the final count, as a
number of coin boxes placed in
schools throughout the county have
not yet been returned. However, all
collections are expected to be in and
tabulated sometime this weekend and
a final report will be issued to the
public a4 soon thereafter as possible.
A recent letter from Dr. Frank
Owens, Chairman of the Committee
for the Celebration of the President’s
Birthday, states that the Newberry
county figure has already far sur
passed all expectations and that
Newberry will this year make a show
ing which will compare favorably
