HELPING WIN A WAR
John Thomas Cain is a fifteen
year old London costerboy. Over
here, we would say that he peddled
vegetables. He has been given the
George medal, one of the highest
awards for gallantry, and is the
youngest Brit jo to wear it.
This is how he got the medal. One
night he heard the crash of a bomb,
looked out of the window and saw
a paint factory down the street start
to go up in a roar of flames. John
didn’t lose any time. With the help
of four policemen, he d!ug into the
basement of the paint factory and
waded throught a four-foot flood of
paint. Then he and the policemen
hauled ten workmen into the street,
six alive. As they were carrying the
last one away, the building collapsed.
John woke up in the morning to find
himself a hero.
Not the Right Start
Mother: “Come on, son, and wash
your face and hands and get on some
clean clothes.”
Son: “Aw. I thought you said we
were going on a picnic.”

ary. Hundreds of interested citizens
have donated about $500 toward the
goal of $1,000, which, it is estimated,
will cover the cost of building the
cabin. Many others have pledged
to give, and this will add a goodly sum
to the amount already on hand. Those
in the Mother’s Club and Legion wish
to thank all who have so generously
given. Since it is impossible for
Jhem to reach everybody, there may
be some who wish to give and have not
been contacted. If that be so. phone
Mrs. Parks or Mrs. Baker, and they
will he glad to get in touch with you.
A Girl Scout cabin will be of great
advantage to the young girls of New
berry and will be worthy of your
donation. For those who have not
yet contributed, give now, and help
the children of Newberry have a ca
bin of their own.
or. But speaking of things red, the
most popular thing in that color now
is automobiles. Or maybe some peo
ple call it maroon—anyway, it’s on
the same line. Next time you are
riding on the highway, or just a-
round town, notice all the new cars. A
large percentage of them, you will
see, is red, and very pretty they are.
A LITTLE OVER A YEAR
ago, on December 20, 1939, your
reporter began her “newspaper” ca
reer . . . since that time, the thing
which has given me more encourage
ment than any other has been the
many nice things you have said
about me, and also the grand coop
eration you have given me ... it
would be impossible for me to know
as much about what’s going on in
the social life of Newberry without
the information those who I ask al
ways are willing to give. Only one
thing I could ask. When you have a
party, club meeting, or when you
have visitors and have been visiting,
it wouldn’t take but a minute to call
Phone No. 1 and tell the social edi
tor about it. People in Newberry like
to know what other people are doing,
and though you may not think it’s of
interest, it is to others. So phone
in your news. *■'

COURTESY ON THE HIGHWAY
or in town, by those driving auto
mobiles, is appreciated by the other
fellow. Night driving is hard enough
without glaring lights shining in your
eyes, and if you are driving a car
with bright lights you should dim
them so as not to blind the person
driving ' the approaching car. There
are many other ways, in which to
shew courtesy in driving. Around
Newberry, when we get in a traffic
jam, everyone starts blowing Kis
horn. It just, for some reason, seems
natural to do. But your reporter
found out that it wasn’t necessary.
| Several weeks ago, I was riding in a
city much larger than Newberry. We
were in a hurry, for we only had
about two minutes to get where we
were going, and it was important that
we be there. The traffic jam we were
caught in was one of the worst I’ve
seen, and I sat there waiting for the
driver to blow his horn. I noticed he
didn’t, and wondered why; then I lis
tened for other horns, and didn’t hear
the sound of a one. We got out of
the jam as quick, if not quicker, than
if there had been so much horn blow
ing. So remember this, and let’s try
to keep our town a little quieter along
that line.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN
an embarrassing moment for her
mother when the little three years
old daughter made the following
statement. It seems that the moth-
et and little girl were among about
twenty others who were fishing from
a dock at the beach. Different peo
ple along the dock were making up
rimes about the fish not biting, then,
as it will sometimes happen, every
thing got suddenly quiet. In the
midst of this silence, the little three-
year-old exclaimed: “These
fisih just won’t bite!”
looked at the car a minute, then at
the sign ... and noticed that the
sign was turned sideways. He turn
ed it facing the ear, so your reporter
thought, the occupants of the car
would know they were due a ticket.
As he turned the sign he said: “Go
ahead—the sign was turned so you
couidnlt see it.” That’s what we
mean when we call Newberry the
“City of Friendly FVlk.” Not only
are they friendly, but thoughtful as
well.

and a policeman came along. He
IT SEEMS THAT ONE
thing leads tp another, .speaking
of Newberry being the City of
Friendly Folk, I believe everyone who
comes to Newberry gets that impres
sion. A couple of “draftees” from
New York, stationed at Fort Jackson
were in Newberry' for the weekend,
and the thing they liked so much
about Newberry was the fact that this
is the only place they had found peo
ple who didn’t turn the other way
when they saw a uniform . They said
everybody seemed to think if a boy
was in uniform, there was nothing to
them, and it was a real pleasure to be
somewhere where a soldier was held
in at least a little respect. The fact
that soldiers are just like anybody
else has been' brought home to us
much more definitely since so many
Newberry boys have gone to Camp
Stewart and have been drafted to
other camps all over the south. When
you see a soldier you dbn’t know, re
member that the hoys you do know
who are soldiers are in exactly the
same position off from home. Have
more respect for a soldier’s uniform,
for after all, they are a part of our
great nation’s defense.
street. Although Mrs. Kbhn does
not devote her full time to teaching,
she has a class of fourteen students.
They are the following: Sarah Bee and
Martha Lominack, Betty Mayer, Joyce
Coleman, Roger Wicker, Frances
Bishop, Peggy Hutchinson, Caroline
Huffman, Elizabeth and Edith Dick-
ert, Ann Pope, Jane Summer, Mary
Birge and Verna Kohn. A very love
ly and enteitaining program was giv
en by these, each one doing his or
her part remarkably well. The
younger children, as well as the older
ones, could not help butt learn piano
under Mrs. Kohn, for they all love
her so much. Decorating Mrs. Kohn’s
home for the recital were lovely roses
and other summer flowers. Mrs.
Kohn herself was very attractive in
white, and wearing a vari-colored
corsage. After the program, with
her students assisting her, she serv
ed delicioas ice cream with nut rolls
and sweet cakes.
UP at SILVERSTREET
last week, we stopped to visit
Mrs. Richard Neel, Sr., who loves
flowers of all kinds. She showed me
one of her plants, the like of which
I had never seen. I don’t remember
the “technical” name, but I believe
it’s commonly called an “all year
plant”. Anyway, it’s beginning at
present to turn green, and the leaves
will stay green all summer. Just a
little While before Christmas, the
leaves will turn a vivid red, and will
remain that color until this time next
year. It is a most attractive plant.
HAPPENED TO SEE
Mrs. Deirrill Smith, Jr., Sunday
and she was wearing the prettiest
outfit. Her dress (which your re
porter couldn’t believe she made her
self) was a pink rayon, with black pin
stripes running vertically. The dress
was made tailored, but not too tail
ored. With it she wore a pink straw
hat with pink grosgrain ribbon trim
ming, and white gloves. She really
looked nice!
