GIRL SCOUTS WANT CABIN
A concerted .drive will be conducted
soon for a cabin meeting place for
at least two troops of local Girl
Scouts. Sponsors of the organizations
announce today that the campaign to
raise funds for the cabin will prob
ably begin next week.
Each Girl Scout troop is sponsor
ed by some responsible Newberry
club or other body, and the drive will
likely be in the 'hands of the spon
sors. Troop No. 1 is sponsored by
the “sdhool group” Mothers Club, and
its Leader is Mrs. J. D. French.
Troop No. 2 is backed by the Ameri
can Legion Auxiliary, and Mrs. B. V.
Chapman is the Leader. These two
groups alone represent about 40 be
tween the ages, roughly of 12 and 17.
Although details of the campaign
have not as yet been worked out, it is
reported) that tentative arrangements
have been made for assistance in the
labor needed. Since both these
troops have been obliged to meet in
homes, a real need is felt for a bona
fide official meeting place which may
be known to all the scouts as their
“headquarters”. A number of res
ponsible citizens have been approach
ed for advice in the matter, and all
agree that the cause is worthy of the
full cooperation of every Newberry
citizen who realizes that our youth
represents our future. It is hoped by
all concerned that the drive will meet
with approval and that eyeryome ap
proached will be generous in his res
ponse. Further announcements will
be made at a later date.

To the Editor:
Sudden emergence of summer from
winter temperatures, when spring
didn’t have a chance to “come trip
ping on lightsome feet,” as related so
interestingly by Woods and Waiters in
The State of Friday, April 18, has
aroused memories of a phenomenal
occurrence in meteorology exactly 60
years ago as this is written (April 21
1881) when summer overlapped
spring somewhat more remarkably
than, in 1941.
Preceding the date for the begin
ning of spring, March 21, 1881, winter
had been very inclement, especially
December, January and February.
December left a deep snow with the
mercury falling to four degrees below
zero December 30—the coldest day of
1880. March was misty and abnor
mally cold two-thirds of the month.
Thursday, April 21, dawned with
mist in slightly frozen form and win
ter clothing quite comfortable. Not
a bud of green was visible anywhere
leafless trees and all surrounding
vegetation as dry as a brown reed
“shaken by the wind.”
At noon came the almost unbeliev
ably sudden change from winter to
summer with Old Sol sending his
beams brilliantly athwart the atmos
phere and forcing the mercury up to
more than double the reading of 44
in the early morning.
More remarkable, however, was the
fact that within five days forest trees
were almost in full leaf together with
all vegetation which immediately be
fore 'had been dry and brittle as
broom sedge in the dead of winter.
The writer does not recall a similar
meteorological occurrence in his
weather observations of 70 years.
However, one more remarkable
event in this regard is related by
David Livingstone in one of his ac
counts as a missionary and explorer
in Africa when in June, 1872, he was
encamped on the White Nile. Liv
ingston’s camp was near the bank of
the river while the natives had theirs
on the dry bed of the river. It was
the season when the rains along the
equator would cause a rise in the
White and Blue Niles as they flowed
toward the delta on the Mediterran
ean where the rich alluvial soil is
said to be 40 feet deep.
Somewhat after midnight on this
particular occasion a great tumult
arose among the natives and the fol
lowers of Livingstone as he was
awakened by their shouts, “The river-
The river!” Then could be heard
sounds like reverberations of thun
der in the distance. Onward came
the rushing waters of the rising Nile.
Livingstone records that at sunrise
every form of vegetation was in full
leaf, whereas, when he retired for
his rest at night it was as dry as a
broken reed. Livingstone died in
Africa in 1873 in 'his 69th year. His
body rests in Westminister Abbey. It
was preserved' in salt by his faithful
followers and taken to England.
Referring again to the summer of
1881, only two rainfalls, besides the
migt of April 21 occurred that year
until November—one on June 26 and
the other August 26, the latter too
late for ^he relief of the severest
drought m 36 years—since the year
1845. All grain crops were a total
failure and 1 cotton almost as complete.
'Most oats grew in fence corners and
camping sites of apple and chestnut
vendors of the Tarheel state in 1882
than in the fields in 1881. Thus 1882
was like 1846 when agriculturists
reaped the most bountiful harvests of
crops of all kinds.
No drought will occur this year of
any duration to deserve that name,
and likewise the fruit crop will be
abundant as stated by F. O. Black,
government statistician, in the same
issue of The State as that which car
ried the excellent “Spring to Summer”
narrative by Woods and Waters.
Thus the writer, as the Dutch
Weather Prophet, as the moon In the
last quarter assumed its position in
the south, February 18, this year,
forecast that the fruit crop would es
cape any damage by low tempera
ture#

The R. >M. Lominack Hardware is
continuing the sale of the stock of the
Eskridge hardware bought at a ref
eree’s sale last week. The sale is
being held from the Eskridge stand
and hundreds have sought the values
being offered. It is rare indeed that
a stock of hardware is sold out in the
“bargain price” manner, and many
from the country as well as the city
are taking advantage of the sale to
supply their hardware needs.

“ARIZONA” COMES TO SCREEN
MAY 5 & 6 AT OPERA HOUSE
A sun-drenched desert city, Tuscan,
Arizona, is the colorful scene of Co
lumbia’s great motion picture spec
tacle, “Arizona”, which will show
Monday and Tuesday, May 5 and 6
with Jean Arthur starred and a sup
porting oast of thousands headed by
William Holden, Warren William and
Porter Hall.
The story of Tuscon in 1860, when
advancing civilization whipped into
submission both the Indians and bad
men, when that very civilization
brought into the far frontier the ter
rors and trials of a Civil War, “Ari
zona” has won' the applause of motion
picture critics and fans for its amaz
ing spectacle of a nation being bom.
Miss Arthur is seen as Phoebe Ti
tus, lone white woman in the Ari
zona territory who dreams of a time
when the land will see peace.
William Holden, brilliant new star
who appeared in “Golden Boy” and
“Our Town” appears to advantage
as the casual laughing young ad
venturer, Peter Muncie, and others in
the cast include Warren William as
a gambler-killer, and Porter Hall as
a renegade saloon keeper.
Be sure not to miss “Arizona” at
the Opera House Monday and Tues
day.
