PAGE FIVE FRIDAY. MAY 30, 1941 THE NEWBERRY SUN Society and CLUB NOTES By DORIS ARMFIELD YOUR REPORTER HAS written several times about the square dances at the Legion Hut on Thursday nights—about how much fun they were. The time has come to admit that u«til now your repor ter had only been taking the word of others that the dances were fun, for I hadn’t been . . . not unti\ Jhst Thursday night. And I found that they were just as much fun as ev eryone has said. It’s getting rather hot for square dancing, and for that reason, the ladies of the auxiliary have about—but not definitely—de cided that tonight (Thursday) will be the last dance until the fall. Miss Grace Summer, Mrs. C. A. Dufford and several others have been respon sible for the successful dances dur ing the winter. We’ll be looking for ward to the time when they start again. EVERY YEAR ABOUT THIS time it’s the same old story . . . high school commencement — teachers leaving Newberry; college commencement, students leaving. It’s rather sad to think of it, especially to think of the college seniors leav ing . . . for most of those boys and girls have been in Newberry for four years, and by this time have a great many friends in Newberry who will hate to see them leave. Newberry this summer is going to be “deader” than even—for not only will the col lege students be gone, but alt the boys who are away at Camp Ste wart, those who have been drafted and the boys and girls who are left will be vacationing. So Newberry will sleep during the summer, but will be ready to “be on the go” next fall. MRS. H. L. PARR, WHO is such a lovely person, was looking very nice on a blue Mon day morning when your reporter saw her. She has the prettiest hair, and Monday she was wearing pink, white flowered voile dress with a blue crepe fitted coat over it. The blue and pink looked so nice with her white hair, but then I ve never seen Mrs. Parr when she didn’t look nice. GASKIN-WIER Miss Naomi Gaskin and James Bu ford Wier were married on May 24, 1941 at the residence of the officiat ing minister, the Rev. J. B. Harman. Mrs. Wier is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Gaskin of Goldville, and Mr. Wier is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel L. Wier of Route 1, New berry. They will make their home in Goldville where Mr. Wier has a posi tion with the Joanna mills.

Although there are Amer ican Flags in many places in town, your reporter doesn’t remember New berry ever having one of its own, un til Mrs. Mamie Summer, who gets things done, started out to get a flag pole and flag for the World War Memorial Square, behind the old Courthouse. Mrs. Summer wouldn’t tel! your reporter who donated the money, because the party didn’t wish it to be known. Anyway, to whoever gave it, thanks! It really is a good- looking sight, to see the nine by twelve foot American flag waving above the tops of many of the New berry buildings. The flag was rais ed for the first time Monday morn ing, and each morning and evening will be raised and lowered by a mem ber of the City Police Force. AGAIN A NEWBERRIAN is in the news!

WANT JEWISH ARMED FORCES London, May 26.—A Call for the immediate formation of a Jewish army in Palestine to help Britain’s fight in the Middle East was made to day by Rabbi M. A. Landau of South Shields in a special Zionist meeting. “The most obvious thing to do is to strengthen the British forces in Palestine, yet the Jewish offer of their complete and total manpower and resources has been persistently and imprudently rejected. “If Britain had accepted the Jew ish offer, she could have had now in Palestine three mechanized divisions possibly paid for and equipped by Jews. “Palestine at this moment contains an unarmed Jewish population. I urge chat the Jews in Palestine be at once armed and equipped to enable them to defend the interests of the British empire and in so doing to lighten the task of the regular troops.” INSURANCE FIRMS GET MILLION DOLLAR REFUNDS Washington, May 26.—The Metro politan Life Insurance company and the New York Life Insurance com pany today received the two largest tax refunds in the history of the treasury. Saying they had no record of larg er repayments, officials disclosed pay ment of $1,454,620 to the Metropolitan and $1,210,842 to the New York Life Insurance company. ' In both cases, the refunds were made after the treasury determined that insufficient credits had been al lowed the companies on their in surance reserves. For the Metropoli tan, the refunds covered the years 1930-34, inclusive, and the New York Life got refunds on its 1933 and 1934 income taxes. The New York Central Railroad company also won a $1,082,255 tax dispute with the treasury. The treas ury had been asking the railroad to pay this additional amount on its 1921 income tax, but finally decided the claim was improper and abandon ed it.

"Put Faith In God" Pence Tells Cadets Lutheran Synod President Preaches Baccalaureate Sermon at Citadel Addressing members of the grad uating class of The Citadel in a bac calaureate sermon Sunday morn ing at the cadet chapel, the Rev. Ed gar Z. Pence, president of the Luth eran Evangelical synod of South Carolina, said there must be more and more reliance in God, the source of all power. Taking his text from Psalm LVII:2. Mr. Pence urged the young men in their future plans to “continue the progress of your spiritual life, which in all probability began in your homes, and has continued here as you have trained your mental powers. “As I conceive of it, you have spent some years preparing your selves for service. This service comes through and is made possible by the laws of God; that is, these laws have enabled you to follow cer tain lines of development. Without them life would be hopeless. These same laws hold out hope for the future. “The arts, sciences, and religion, when properly understood, hav* the endorsement of God. In their truest sense, they indicate His attitudes.” The congregation, composed also of members of the Citadel faculty and many visitors, were told that the cadets, undertaking an ambitious life program, would do well to keep in mind that where human help fails, God begins. “Genuine success comes to those who in a deep spirit of humility give God the glory,” he said. “It is only as this attitude develops that God finds it possible to be of the greatest service. Insincere efforts cannot live long. Sincerity dictates a proper ap- preciaion of the power of God in one’s life—power through the soul ix the image of God and through the body that only God can create.’ BANKHEAD URGES FARMERS TO KEEP LINT IN STORAGE Washington, May 26. — Senator Bankhead (D-Ala.), terming the price-pegging farm loan bill as the ibeginning of “a new era in rural life,” called on cotton farmers to day to keep their loan cotton in stor age. The Alabamian said in a statement that if farmers continued to sell their equities in loan cotton they merely aided speculators and others in getting cotton to sell in competi tion with the new crop. Bankhead, a senate farm leader, issued this statement a few hours after President Roosevelt signed leg islation establishing mandatory loans at 85 per cent of parity on basic farm commodities. He and Senator Russell (D-Ga.), another sponsor of the bill, indica ted an effort would 1 be made next year at least to continue the high loan another season. The latter said that although he believed the far mer should be guaranteed 100 per cent of parity, the 85 per cent pro vision would “give him some idea when he plants his crop what he’s going to get for it.” Bankhead said’ be considered it “the most beneficial agricultural legislation that has ever been enact ed by the federal government.” He said if cotton drawn out of the loan were permitted to go into com petition with the new crop, it would result in failure to sell part of this season’s production. That part, therefore, would go into the high loan, he said, adding, “Such action would discourage the next Congress from continuing the 85 per cent loan program.” PLAY SCHOOLS PRESENT PROGRAM TODAY The play schools of Newberry will present a May Festival program at the Margaret Hunter Park and Swim ming Pool today (Thursday) at 6:00 p. m.
