s FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1941 THE NEWBERRY SUN Society and CLUB NOTES By DORIS ARMFIELD Providence takes care of those who can’t take care of themselves, isn’t it? . . . Mae Gene, I didn’t realize thot I was rambling so much. I’ll stop now, but be writing more next week. Love, Dottie. DEAR MAE fcENE, You know, Mae Gene, things have really been happening around here since you left. Of course you read atjout all the weddings in The Sun that you have been receiving, but there are so many things that a soc. ed. just can’t comment upon when writing a wedding—for that has to be strictly formal, you know. But I thought I might write and tell you about some of those “little things.’’ For instance—you read in the write up of Martha Nuel Summer’s mar riage to Cliff Glenwood Shull about the prayer bench attached to the al tar, which contained the love letters of the two, and on which they kneel ed during the ministers prayer. Mae Gene, that’s a “new one” on me. You know, I hadn’t ever heard of anyone doing that, but isn’t it a nice idea? Provided you’re lucky enough to get a “man” who’ll write you love let ters , . . And then in your soc. ed.’s column a couple weeks ago she wrote about the four couples who would occupy i the Buzhardt Apartments. Don’t you After the four course dinner, which think that is a grand idea, and that was served at eight o’clock, those it will be loads of fun for those four present enjoyed dancing until later young couples? Of course you know in the evening. Bob Boozer and Belt McAllister, for An out-of-town guest present-for you were in college with Bett.

Roy Anderson celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary Friday night, June 27, with a dinner party at the Wallace Home on Calhoun street. Twenty places were laid on the beautifully adorned table, decorated with a green, white andj silver motif. Centering the table was a silver bowl of Madonna lilies and fern, and down the center length of the table was fern, interspersed wjth white tapers in silver holders, the tapers being tied around with bows of white tulle and feverfew. The color scheme was fur ther accentuated with silver goblets and place cards of silver bells. you knew that another one of my neighbors was drafted recently? You remember Preston McAlhany, don’t you? He finished Newberry college last year. He’s the second one on “our side” of town who has been drafted, for Robert O’Donnell was one of the first to go. Then there’s “Shorty” Buzhardt, who is in marine school at Quantico, Virginia, and Jack Workman, who is now working in Washington. Of course, our side of town still has “Dude” Epting! By the way, “Shorty” was home on va cation a couple of weeks ago, and said he was going to make the best of it, for heaven knows when he’d get home again! And word comes from Jack that when 90 days are up, expect him back in Newberry, because he was homesick. . . . You are right there at Myrtle Beach now, Mae Gene, and probably you have seen many people from Newber. ry that you know. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Harman, Margaret and Carolyn, and LeRoy Bradley, and J. C. John son were there last Sunday. Did you happen to see them ? They left New berry at four o’clock. I wonder how they managed to get up at that hour? Hut I know they must have had a wonderful day. . . . I rode up to the college the other day to see Elsie Maybin, who, you know, is in summer school, complet ing the credits that she lacked to graduate because of being a transfer student. Elsie wasn’t there, but I had a very nice chat with the ma tron of the summer school, Mrs. B. X. Minus of Greenwood. And I found out that there were so many more over there than I expected to be. The enrolment when summer school start, ed was very low, you know, but has continued to rise, and is much better than expected by anyone. By the way, you will notice in last week’s issue of The Sun about the trip Mrs. Ben Buzhardt and Miss Pearl West are taking. Isi’t that the nicest thing, for teachers to be able to take a trip like that and get credit for it, by attending the National Education Association in Boston. I wouldn’t call that work at all. but pleasure. Don’t you hope, that by the time you are teaching, they will have excurs ions like that for teachers? You remember I told you that Gene Hiers, clerk of the Hotel Wiseman, was expecting to be drafted almost any minute? Taking his place, for the present at least, is Billy Amis, who should make a very good clerk. But how anyone ever learns all those bus schedules is more than I can un derstand. . . . I doubt if you ever have a chance to see The News and Courier* of Charleston—at least not since you were there as “Miss Lancaster” at the Azalea Festival. Even if you did see the Courier last Thursday, you probably missed- this little human in terest story in the “Hitt’s Runs and Errors” column. It happened in New ark, N. J., and had to do with a Mrv Michael Laciopa, blind- concessionnaire at City Hall. It seems, according to R; Hitt, Jr., that Mr. Laciopa left his concession stand to go for lunch. It was the rush hour for traffic, and as Mr. Laciopa shuffled out to the sidewalk he heard a man on the cor. ner ask, “Going across?” Mr. La ciopa said yes, he was going across and he took the man’s arm. The two started across the thoroughfare. There was a great screeching of auto mobile tires and the rumble of buses and trucks coming to quick stops. When the pair reached the other side, Mr. Laciopa released the friend’s arm and said “Much Obliged.” The other fellow wanted to know, “Much Oblig ed for what?” “I’m blind,” Mr. La ciopa replied. “So am I" the other lace, with a corsage of red roses.

Washington, June 30.—A long list of new or increased excise taxes, in cluding a $6 annual ‘use” tax on all privately owned automobiles, a 6 per cent levy on passenger transportation fares of more than 35 cents and a $1- a-gallon boost in the liquor tax was tentatively approved today by the house ways and means committee. The proposed levies would raise $733,200,0<)0 as part of the defense tax program, it was stimated. Chair man Doughton (D-NC) said several other tax proposals, including one cent a bottle on soft drinks, would be considered' later. In addition to the use tax on au tomobiles, which would yield about $160,000,000, the committee voted tentatively in favor of doubling the present three-and-one-half percent levy on the sale price of new automo-- biles and passenger trailers. This, It was estimated, would produce about $79,900,000. Members sail that while the treasury originally had proposed the seven percent tax, it had suggest ed a 15 percent levy instead last week. Mrs. Talksome: I was outspoken in my sentiments at the club today. Mr. T. I can’t believe it. Who out spoke you? Miss Anita Davidteon Aull, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. James L.
