(Continued from pag« one)
1940 were relatively good years, fur
and away beyond the years we asso
ciate with the Depression. Every one
must admit, then, that if our appro
priations were running two millions
ahead of revenue for good years, we
Should restore our balance and bring
things to adjustment on the basis
of our best judgment as to what is a
probable basis of normality.
What are we doing? We arc not
only continuing on the basis of 1939
and 1940 extravagance, but we are
even adding to it. Of course the
theory is that the proposed new taxes
will take care of existing deficits and
provide for the new budget. What
has helped most in this financing has
been the rising tide of State income,
flowing in from better business, and
the better business is entirely a hot
house development springing out of
war measures.
Our people are highly emotional and
in the surge of emotion they are not
thinking calmly. I am not a prophet
of gloom or disaster; we are a great
people and can bear burdens. Still
we need not pile on the little truck
more than the engine can easily pull.
I believe the British will eventually
win by military measures and the
break of overstretched German lines;
and I think the world of men must
rebuke the aggressions of imperialis
tic dictatorships in our day, as it has
in other eras; but for our part the

GIRL SCOUTS TROOF ONB
Girl Scouts of troop one, under the
supervision of Mrs. B. V. Chapman
are being given the opportunity to
see and learn many interesting things
about Newberry. From time to time
the scouts have had the pleasure of
having a representative of the differ
ent organizations talk to them, but on
Monday night they had the unique
pleasure of hearing the Newberry
Concert Band during their regular
band practice at the band hall on
Drayton street. This proved doubly
entertaining as the director, Mr. J.
S. Pruitt, explained many interesting
things about the various instruments.
This band organized in 1904 has had
a very outstanding record and it
ranks high in band circles in South
Carolina. Not only has the hand giv
en the people many hours of delight
ful entertainment in Newberry, but
they have gone out and won for
themselves many distinguished hon
ors. They played in Washington be
fore President Taft. In fact they
played on several occasons in Wash
ington. They played for the famous
Marshal Foch when he passed through
Greenwood several years ago. There
are other occasions in which this band
played that are too numerous to men
tion.
Some of the members had the dis
tinguished honor of playing in the
band of that famous director, John
Philip Sousa when he played in Co
lumbia.
The scouts of troop one are grate
ful to Mr. Pruitt the director, Mr. D.
B. Chandler the manager, and the
members of the band for a delightful
and profitable evening.

BREAKS IN TERRACES SHOULD
BE ATTENDED
Repairing breaks In terraoea is jnet
as Important as repairing leaks in a
roof, points out J. H. Talbert of the
Soil Conservation Service.
Damage resulting from a leaky roof
is not confined to the point where the
leak occurs. The same is true of
breaks in a terrace. A break In a
terrace causes a concentration of wa
ter that may wash across a field and
start serious gully Mr. Talbert
warns. When the top terrace breaks,
usually other terraces below it are
washed out.
A good terrace system requires an
investment of considerable time and
a certain amount of money, and adds
to the value of the land only so long
as it is kept in good working order,
he says. Terraces are constructed for
conserving soil and water and to ac
complish this successfully must be
kept fret of breaks.
If breaks have occurred in terraces
during the fall and winter they can
often be repaired with soil taken from
the terrace channel. A team and
drag pan is best suited for this job.
When breaks have been filled, the
field may be broken so that one
plowing will build up the terraces
over their entire length. This is nec
essary if the terraces are to carry
the run-off from heavy spring and
summer downpours. Good results
can be obtained by using a two-horse
turning plow in the following way:
First, bed up the terrace ridge. This
land should be at least 12 feet wide.
Then start another land by bedding
about 16 feet above the terrace chan
nel. Plow this land wide enough to
meet the land broken first. The rest
of the field can be plowed as best
suited- These two steps will result
in a well-maintained terrace ridge
and a clean, wide channel.

REVIEW
of NEW BOOKS
PAUL B. CLARK, PH. D.
1735 Woodburn Ave.
Covington, Ky.
How up-to-date do you desire to be
about what is going on in the Near
East? What is happening in Greece
and Palestine, for instance? The war
is not all by any means. Read the
BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGIST, espe
cially the February number which is
just off the press, published by Th%
American Schools of Oriental Re
search (Jerusalem and Baghdad), 409
Prospect St., f^ew Haven, Conn., and
find out about Athens, what is being
brought to light there by the spade,
not the gun, and what will become of
the best of these excavated finds;
read also about Megiddo—Gua.Jian
of the Carmel Pass. I can vouch for
the interest that this journal will have
for the thoughtful reader, for I too
have been over the same ground both
in Greece and in Palestine. The jour
nal is 50c per year, published quart
erly,—February, May, September and
December. Here is scholarship of a
high degree; here is accuracy.
Another good way to keep abreast
the times is to read year-books. Be
fore me lies The National Catholic
Almanac, published by St. Anthony’s
Guild, Paterson, New Jersey, 75c, and
contains 800 pages of information.
While it is intended for Catholic
readers, much of the data will int
erest any one, as it includes besides
doctrine and church practices and ap
ologetics such other desiderata as his
tory and biography and education and
social work, chronology, law and
science, literture and art, government
and sports,—all thoroughly indexed.
One will find interest on every page,
the Catholics in literature, in base
ball and the like. There is also a fine
summary of the war so far.
The true historian knows how to
evaluate historical material that was
not intended as such, such as letters
of correspondence, relics and the like.
Of outstanding interest for the stu
dent of history of the development of
a section of our countrv, is “Pioneer
Capuchin Letters,” published by Jos
eph F. Wagner, Inc., New York, dis
tributed by St. Anthony’s Guild. Here
are 32 letters of human interest in
documentary form, written by the
founders of the Calvary Capuchin
Province of Saint Joseph, the first
permanent Capchin foundation in the
U. S. AA, addressed to the Ludwig-
Missionsverein in Munich and the Leo-
poldinen-Stiftung in Vienna, which
were mission societies of Bavaria and
Austria at the time, 1857-1897.
Mount Calvary, Wis., was the start
ing point of this missionary program.

“THE PHILADELPHIA STORY”
Katherine Hepburn has returned to
the screen, and how, in “The Phila
delphia Story” picturization of her
rollicking New York comedy stage hit.
Teamed with Cary Grant, and James
Stewart, Miss Hepburn is superb, as
indeed are also her co-stars—for all
three share honors in one of the gay
est, brightest and most unusual come
dies of the year.
It is unusual because it is differ
ent, a comedy with an intriguing plot
that sets a new high in humor. The
story deals with a Philadelphia so
ciety girl who could be a wonderful
wife if she didn’t demand perfection
in a husband. She divorces Grant,
and is about to marry again, but
Grant comes back for the wedding to
save her from making a mistake.
The stars romp through their roles
as though they were having the time
of their lives, and captivate the aud
ience from the first reel to the last
with hilarious performances.
Others in the cast are Ruth Hus
sey, John Howard, Roland Young,
Virginia Weidler. The show is at the
Ritz theatre Monday and Tuesday,
March 10 and 11.
The many friends of Mrs. J. J.
Langford will be glad to know that
she is steadily improving after a ma
jor operation at the Columbia hospi
tal two weeks ago. She will remain
in the hospital for another week or
two, then return to her home on
Boundary Street.

MAYBANK GIVES S. C. DEFENSE
PLAN
Columbia, March 6-—A projected
home defense program for South
Carolina was placed before the gener
al assembly today by Governor Bur
net R. Maybank, who also asked the
legislature to provide the necessary
funds.
“I think some 20 states have put
this plan into effect,” Maybank said.
He added that the plan was “no poli
tical” one, that “the war department
sent the plan.”
The governor was backed up by
Adjutant General James C. Dozier,
President William P. Jacobs of the
state council for national defense and
' General Charles P. Summerall, a
j member of the council.
The senate finance committee gave
a favorable report today to a bill
creating a South Carolina defense
force to replace the federalized Na
tional Guard. The bill carried an ap
propriation of $65,000 to organize,
train, uniform and maintain the de
fense force.
SEEK FUNDS FOR DEFICIT
Dr. Y. M. Brown, Executive Comm.
Newberry, S. C.
Dear Dr. Brown:
The Hon. Governor Burnet R. May-
bank, and Mr. Winchester Smith, ask
that you again serve as Campaign
Manager for your county in the soli
citation of funds for the Jackson Day
Celebration.
South Carolina has been assessed
$18,000 to cover as their part to make
up a deficit in the last Campaign.
The amount asked to be pledged this
year are $5.00, $10.00, and $25.00, and
of course, small amounts will be ac
cepted. This can be left entirely
with your local Committee which we
request you to appoint.
The Campaign will close March 29.
We realize that this comes very
near the last campaign, but it is a
matter that the Executive Committee
cannot overcome.
May I have your reply at an early
date.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) J. D. Miot
Managing Director.

NO, NO, NANETTE!
In tb« role of a helpful niece who
trie* to aaalat her susceptible tnole
out of a series of feminine complica
tions, Anna Neagle comes gaily to the
screen in ‘No, No, Nanette,” with a
notable cast that includes Richard
Carlson, Vic Mature, Roland Young,
Helen Broderick, Zasu Pitts, Billy
Gilbert and others.
Young plays the role of the hen
pecked uncle, whose well-meant ef
forts to advance the careers of var
ious gold-diggers lead to all the
trouble. Trying to adjust matters
without the knowledge of Young’s
wife, Miss Broderick, Miss Neagle
successively wishes two of the girls
off on two of Young’s acquaintances,
Carlson, a famous painter of pretty
girls, and Mature, a Broadway produ
cer.
As a result, both Carlson and Ma
ture fall in love with Miss Neagle.
The two rivals employ hilarious tac
tics in endeavoring to outmaneuver
the other, while in the meantime Miss
Broderick learns what is going on and
decides to go to Reno for a divorce.
Interspersed with catchy musical
numbers from the original Broadway
show, the picture offers many novel
features in its stiry and treatment.
Besides the titletune of “No, No, Nan
ette”, such favorite melodies as
‘Tea for Two” and “I Want To Be
Happy” are sung by Miss Neagle and
other principles.
This superb musical comedy will
