Bom on the “wrong side of the tracks”. Kitty envies the Philadel phia socialites as a youngster, and later as a working girl falls in love with one of them, Wyn Strafford, only disappointed in him when he falls to propose. She goes to New York, and he follows and after a short romantic interlude marries her. Kitty learn too late what being married to Wyn means—the stuffy social life his family have laid out for him, so she flees to New York and secures an an nulment. There she resumes her ac quaintance with Mark Eisen, a young doctor. Five years later, Wyn has been married, and she found herself facing a vital decision—whether to run away to South America as Wyn’s mistress, or to marry Mark Eisen, who has lov ed her all these years. As well as affording Miss Rogers a brilliant opportunity to display her dramatic talents, the film gives two clever young actors their finest roles. Dennis Morgan, the much sought- after leading man of many recent of ferings, as cast as Wyn, and James Craig, an “unknown” whom studio executives are acclaiming, plays the part of quiet Mark. “Kitty Foyle” will show at the Opera House Monday and Tuesday, March 17 and 18. and CLUB NOTES By DORIS ARMFIELD MARTNA SEASE FELKER rer* & wi our cuitomeri te ui— The following is general levy for I except special purposes: Mills Ordinary County ...13 Bonds, Notes and Interest . . 17% Roads and Bridges ... 2 Hospital ... % School — State ... 3 County School . - 5% County Board of Education .. 1 State Our Invisible Half •Soling; ha» no “repaired look**— nt. ridge or visible seam.

WITH THE SICK The many friends of Mrs. Eugene Blease will be sorry to learn that she is still ill a’t her home on Boudary street. Mrs. J. J.

She will be return ing to Newberry in a few more weeks. CHANGES RESIDENCE Mrs. S. E. Whitten and her mother, Mrs. Davis, have moved from Nance street and are now occupying an ap artment at the home of Miss Ethel Jones on Calhoun street. \Iifs Juanita Swindler, who teach es at Chester, s| ent the weekend with her family. L"'0’* Bradley, who is empleyed in Spartanburg, spent the weekend with his parents on Glenn street. The highest purpose for which there should be a Go-to-Church Movement is that every one might learn about Jesus Christ and His love for all mandkind, and be persuaded to accept Him as the only Saviour trom sin and to have eternal life. No doubt the noble organizations of our City who are sponsoring this movement had this in mind. If all of our people would go to Church and give an attentive hearing to the reading of God’s Word and the Gospel message, it would have a good effect upon their lives for time and eternity. There is always more hope for the ones who go to Church than for those who do not go. Those who do not go, do not give (>od a chance to help and to save them. Then there are other reasons why these organizations and every citizen of our City should be interested in this movement: 1. Church going has an ennobling influence for good character in our people. The best teachings of how people should deal with each other are taught there, and there will be found the best people with whom to associate. I know that it is often charged that there are hypocrites in the Church. It may be so. (God is the. Judge.) There was a hypocrite in that group of the twelve that Jesus had chosen for His Apostles. And we have no reason to expect more of our congregations than Jesus did of His group, for the Devil is still work ing to overthrow the work of Christ and to destroy our souls. Without hesitation, I would say that there are far more hypocrites outside of the Church than in it. In a sense, every one who is not a true child of God is a hypocrite,—'Whether in the church or out of it,—for he is living contrary to the highest light given him by birth, and that nature about him teaches. “The heavens declare the clory of God; and the firmament showeth His handywork. Day unto dav uttereth speech; and ni°*ht unto night showeth knowledge. There is no speech nor languaee: where their voice is not heard.” “The fool” {that is, an empty minded person) “hath said in his heart: There is no God”. And since there is a God, we are act ing hypocrites if we do not go to His house and worship Him. 2. In connection with good charac ter, there will be good citizenship. Church going and God-fearing people will be law abiding people. Perhaps your have heard of places where no law enforcement officers were needed, because every body attended religious services and lived Godly. Among Ohristian people there may be misun derstandings, but there should be no violence nor treachery. For the most part, each one will deal with the others as he would like for them to deal with him. 3. Church going will help the ousi- ness of our City. Two essential quali ties of good business are honesty and truthfulness and these virtues snould be found in the life of every faithful Church attendant—to be honest and truthful to God, to fellow man and himself. 4. Going to church is one of the greatest steps that can be taken to ward National Defense. “Righteous ness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people”. “If God be for us, who can be against us?” But how can God be for us, when we do go to His church, hear His word, ac cept His Son, Jesus Christ and be on His side? Church going people learn to give unto God the things that are God’s and to Caeser the things that are Caeser’s. Then let us put forth every effort to go to Church every Sunday and to get others to go. To do any less than this, we have not done our full duty. Let nothing, such as pleasure trips, visiting, good dinners, family reunions entertainments or “Jack Pot” and “Cash Nights” in the theatres keep us away from church worship. (The last mentioned detraction is a very insidious and deceptive form a gam bling in which many well meaning people take part by paying admission into the theatre on a certain night hoping to have a chance to win a cer tain amount of money given by the owner of the theatre out of the ad mission fees paid by all attending. All pay the admission fee, hoping to get the money, but only one gets it.) Let us not be absent from Church for money, pleasure, nor anything else. The Spirit of God is grieved when you stay away from church, but the Devil rejoices. Whom do you want to please, God or the Devil? Choose to please God and go to church and be saved; and at the same time help to 1 save your people, your city and your country. J. B. HARMAN THE ANNUAL MARCH debate of Newberry College was held Friday evening in the audi torium of Holland Hall, with the team of the Excelsior Literary Society ver sus the team of the Phrenakosmian society. Talking with Dr. Derrick before the debate, he (remarking on the small attendance FYiday night) reminisced that when he was going to College, the March debate was The Thing, and the thing which every student and many others gathered to hear. He declared it was a shame that there weren’t more students there, and after hearing the debate I agreed with him. The subject was: “Resolved: That the Nations of the Western Hemisphere riikmld form a permanent union.” Billy Coleman «md Bob King, both members of the freshman class, together with their captain, Jim Kinard, formed the af firmative side representing the Ex celsior society. Walter Sandprs and Lloyd Kimimell, seniors, with their captain Julian Addy, were taking the negative side, representing the Pnren- akosmian society. The four speeches themselves were interesting, but the real interest and wit came during the rebuttal, which was altogether too short. This reiporter wondered how Bob King, who lives in Indianapolis, could rattle off the South American names used in his speeches without a moment’s hesitation, until she was in formed that he lived in South Ameri ca for a year. Bob’s speech was the best planned, best delivered of the four, though the other three were veiry commendable with many good points brought out. Bob’s ready wit and excellent phraseology, together with his extensive vocabulary, com manded the attention of all present while he was speaking. Slips of the tongue and varied form? of sarcasm on the parts of the debaters kept laughter going in the audience dur ing the entire rebuttal. For instance when discussing the possibility of an invasion into America through Al aska, one of the debaters asked “Who ever heard of landing an airplane on the top of a mountainside?” When Dr. Derrick was anouncing the decis ion which he and the two other jud ges, Prof. T. E. Epting and Dr. Er- land Neleon, had reached, he began by saying that he wouldn’t say it was the best debate ever held in -Hol land Hall; but that it was. After sev eral other similar statements, he said the debaters succeeded in doing one thing — in keeping the audience awake. The decision was given to the negative, with (Quoting Dr. Der rick) “honorable mention to the af firmative.” While the judges were deciding. Miss Mary Katherine Reiser of Aug usta, Ga., read in a charming man ner, her essay, “Down Argentine Way". Miss Reiser was at her love liest in a blue taffeta evening gown with a shoulder corsage of red roses. She is vice-president of the student body and a very popular co-ed. the night before, so if those pledged into club? seem to look miserable the next day, no matter how funny their costume, you know they have a right to. Most of them are good sports through the whole thing, however, and are able to “take it”. They have to be good sports to be taken in in the first place, and it’s just the price paid one night for many nights of pleasure. I SUPPOSE IT’S the price that one must pay for being popular, but I sometimes wonder if it’s worth it. The thought I had in mind right at present is what boys and girls have to do to get into college fraternities and sorori ties. The part the public sees is the funny part, like the boys at Newber ry college last week who were made to go around all day Friday, one dressed as a red cross nurse, the other as a soldier, and were made to go to the hospital thusly dressed to see a sick friend. The pledgees get just as much fun out of that as any one else, though they might not ad mit it. (I wonder if the nurse’s knees didn’t get cold in that short skirt?) The real initiation coirv-s LOVELY PARTY FRIDAY HONORS MISS LUCY SMITH Continuing the series of pre-nup tial parties honoring Miss Lucy Smith, Mrs. Sloan Chapman and Mrs. W. O.
