These two choruses will participate in a two weeks festival of American Music with groups from every section of the nation. Prof. Paul Ensrud, directoj of the singers, is to be commended for the way he puts things over once he be gins them. This is a worthwhile pro ject for a worthwhile organization, as those of you who have heard the Sin gers this year will know. We should be thankful that the United States is still able to have such festivals in music and other fine arts. The citizens of Newberry—both as individuals and as groups or clubs, should do their part in helping raise the necessary fund to enable the Sin gers to take this trip. It is interest ing to note that the present chorus alone has pledged to raise in cash about (1600. Why can't we do our part?

Mr. Feflnell was present at the football banquet last Tuesdlay at the Newberry country club, and in his column write-up men- toined that there were no _ better cooks to be found than in Newberry, and that their macaroni pie and lem on pie was so delicious that all thoughts of reducing his “spacious” waistline were forgotten. Thanks for the nice compliments, Mr. Fen nell, and for the very nice write-up given Newberry citizens in your last Thursday column.
