JUST A DEAD SOLDIER
I’m just a dead soldier in Flanders,
Once again the bombardment is
near.
And I wonder is anyone living
Can tell me just why I am here.
I fought in the war to free people,
And really I hated not one,
Like me, they were husbands and
sweethearts,
Until someone gave them a gun.
\
They marched you away from your
village,
And poisoned your mind with war
hate,
And told you of glories unending,
If a bullet should meet you, by fate.
I
You were fighting the fight of the
righteous,
You were malting the world free
for all,
But I wondered just what they were
telling,
The boys in the other trench wall.
(
Since the summer of ’15 I’ve lain here
While the poppies grew over my
bier,
And mothers and wives and children,
Watered our graves, with a tear.
i
I’m just a dead soldier in Flanders,
Once again the cannons will roar,
And I wonder if someone can tell me,
Just what they are fighting for.
—Bond Davis.
BUILDING FOR POSTERITY
An old man, traveling a lone highway,
Came at the evening, cold and gray,
To a chasm deep and 'wide;
The old man crossed in the twilight
dim;
The sullen stream had no fears for
him.
But he turned when safe on the other
side
And built a bridge to span the tide.
“Old Man,” said a fellow-pilgrim
near,
“You are wasting your strength in
building here;
"Your journey will end with the end
ing day;
“You never again will pass this way;
“You’ve crossed the chasm deep and
wide,
“Why build you the bridge at even
tide?”
The builder lifted his old grey head,
“Good friend, in the path I’ve come,”
he said,
“There followeth after me today
“A youth whose feet must pass this
“This chasm that was as naught to
way,
me;
“To that fair youth may a pitfall be;
“He, too, must cross in the twilight
dim;
“Good friend, I am building the bridge
for him.”
STATE PATROL TO ENFORCE
LAW ON LIGHTS DIMMING
Penalty of $10 or 30 Days Provided
for Failure to Obey Law
Motorists failing to dim their
lights when meeting an approaching
car on the highway will be running
the risk of a $10 fine or 30 days in
jail state highway patrolmen warned
yesterday.
A new state law requiring passen
ger car lights to be dimmed when
meeting another vehicle, was passed
at the last session of the legislature
and was approved by Governor Bur
net R. Maybank on May 24. A pre
vious act covers light dimming by
trucks and commercial cars.
Highway patrolmen have been in
structed to begin immediate enforce
ment of the act.
The text of the act follows:
“Section 1: Whenever the driver of
a private passenger motor vehicle
approaches an oncoming motor ve
hicle within five hundred (500) feet,
such driver shall dim the lights of the
motor vehicle so that the glaring
rays are not directly into the eyes of
the oncoming driver, and in no case
shall the lights be aimed higher than
the center of the lamp from which
it comes at a distance of twenty-five
(26) feet ahead; and in no case
higher than a level of forty-two (42)
inches above the level upon which the
vehicle stands at a distance of seven
ty-five (75) feet ahead. Provided,
however, this does not apply to a pri
vate motor vehicle that does not have
facilities for dimming of lights.
“Section 2: Any person convicted
of violating the provisions of this
atet shall be punished by a fine of not
more than ten ($10.00) dollars or im
prisonment for not more than thirty
(30) days.”

Drive For Articles
Of Aluminum Now
Under Way In City
The drive to collect scrap aluminum
to be used for defense purposes is be
ing sponsored in Newberry by the lo
cal chapter of the Jaycees and the
Boy Scouts of the city. Work in the
county is under the direction of the
Clemson Extension service, the 4-H
clubs, and the County Council of
Farm Women.
A bin has been set up on the public
square in front of the County Agent’s
office for the purpose of receiving
the alminum. Anyone who has any
piece of aluminum ware that is not
being used, or will not have to be re
placed by an article <xf some other
substance vital to the Defense Pro
gram, is asked to bring it by and de
posit it in this bin. The drive is now
under way and' will continue for
about two weeks, the climax of the
drive to be a house to house canvass
by the Scouts to get those articles
\\hich for any reason 'have not al
ready been contributed.
Other events in the drive include
an “aluminum matinee” sponsored by
the Ritz Theater on the morning of
Thursday, July 24, at which time all
children in the county under 16 years
of age, white or colored, will be ad
mitted to a show which will begin at
10 o’clock, the price of admission be
ing one or more pieces of aluminum
ware. The show will be “Man Hunt”
with Joan Bennett and Walter Pidgin.
On Wednesday, July 30, the Opera
House is sponsoring a similar mati
nee and the picture that will be
shown is “Real Glory” with Gary
Cooper. At this show also all child
ren under 16 in the county will be
admitted for one or more pieces of
aluminum ware.
This drive is being held in connec
tion with the Defense Program and
in line with cities and (towns all over
the country, and the Jaycees am'par
ticularly anxious that the drive in
Newberry be successful. Therefore,
all who have any alminum that they
can contribute are asked to bring it
and deposit it in the bin in front of
the County Agent’s office, or if that
is not convenient, to have it ready
when the Scouts call for it.

RUSS-NAZI WAR GIVES UNITED
STATES REDS NEW CHANCE
(By Lee Carson, International News
Service staff correspondent)
Washington, July 4.—Dies commit
tee talent scouts today returned from
a swing around the red circuit to re
port that American Communists are
taking full advantage of the Soviet-
Nazi war to burrow deeper into in
dustry, labor, and the Government.
Un-American activities experts de
clare the Communists expect Stalin
and Hitler eventually to make peace,
with Stalin losing a few oil fields and
granaries. In the meantime, Ameri
can Communist chapters are en
trenching themselves more firmly in
key positions.
Get Instructions
In the possession of the Dies com
mittee is a copy of alleged instruc
tions sent out to all Communist
groups.
The instructions urge:
“Now that Germany has attacked
the Soviet Union, the United States
will have to go along with Great Bri
tain and the U. S. S. R. in the fight
against the common enemy, and as a
result of this the Government will
let up on the persecution of the Com
munists. This will place the Oem-
munists in a wonderful position to ac
complish things that otherwise would
be hard to achieve. Everyone was
urged to redouble their efforts in the
branch organizations and to secure
as many members as possible, and to
continue the drive for the control of
the basic industries through the *rade
unions.”
Japs ^Are Problem
Concurrent with worry over the
Reds comes another anti-American
problem. According to the investiga
tors, the Japs are some 3,200 strong
on the west coast, have a fleet al
most 1,000 small boats “manned” by
reserve officers of the Japanese Navy
and under direct command of T«*io.”
The Japs, like the Nazis, keep an un
relenting hold on their subjects in
this country by threats of reprisal to
their families and friends still in
Japan.

OPPORTUNi rV FOR CANNING
Columbia, S C.—South Carolina
peach growers are in the midst of
harvesting the largest drop of peaches
ever grown in this State.
“The fact that so many peaches are
being picked and selling at such
reasonable prices offer housewives of
the State a wonderful opportunity of
canning and preserving peaches for
winter use,” declared J. Roy Jones,
Commissioner of Agriculture, today.
Mr. Jones states further that there
will be a heavy movement of peaches
the next few weeks and suggests that
even those who have to buy peaches
should put up some this year. He
called attention to information re
reived at the State Department of Ag
riculture that indicates high prices
for canned peaches this year. The
California Cling Peach crop is short
and packers there are paying twice
as much for raw peaches as they did
last year and furthermore shipping
facilities for non-defense goods will
be greatly curtailed.
Peaches should be a regular part of
the daily diet every day now, thinks
Mr. Jones, because of their excellent
taste and as a source of vitamin*. He
thinks the same is true of other
fruits and vegetables now available.

NEWBERRY BOYS ON
FIRING RANGE
A special convoy pulled out of
Camp Stewart, Ga., late Sunday af
ternoon for the range at San Fer-
nandina Beach, Fla., bearing its car
go of soldiers made up of the men
and officers of the 107th Separate
Coast Artillery Battalion (AA). The
first outfit to leave Camp Stewart was
Battery C (former Newberry Boys
who are in the service now). They
were followed by Battery D (Hamp
ton) and Headquarters Battery (Dil
lon).
The convoy pulled into Fernandina
around 1:30 a. m. Monday and pitch
ed their tents to try and get a little
sleep before hitting the range.
First call was sounded at 8:30 a. m.
and the first sight that was seen was
the rolling Surf of the Atlantic
Ocean which looked awfully inviting
to the weary men of this Battalion.
The men were given the chance to
take an early morning swim so bath
ing suits were donned and the men
were off to the beach.
After breakfast the men were in
troduced to a 30 calibre AA machine
gun which they fi^ed during their
whole stay in Florida. The officers
were very pleased with the record
that the men made with this new
weapon. Most of the fellows had nev
er seen this gun but when they were
called to the firing line, they conduct
ed themselves as veterans.
With the coming of night and Re
treat, the men were given a late leave
so that they might see the sights in
and around this Florida resort. The
skating ring on the beach seemed to
be the most popular place of amuse
ment. During the course of the ev
ening, every man in the Battalion
tried’ his luck on roller skates but
several are still bearing the marks
of their inexperience.
This town took to the soldiers bet
ter than any town that it has beer
our luck to visit. The folks down
there were exceptionally nice to the
men and officers of the 107th and
most of them are looking forward to
their next visit to Fernandina.
Firing was finished early Tuesday
morning and the men loaded thefcr
equipment into the trucks so that
they may be able to take that last
minute dip in the roaring surf.
The convoy left Fernandina prompt
ly at 12:30 p. m. on its return trip
to Camp Stewart and home. The men
left Ithe girls with sad hearts but
they left a promise of coming back
at the first chance which as rumor
has it, should be in a few weeks. It is
rumored that this Battalion is due
back down there within a few weeks
to fire the 37mm guns.
TRANWOOD CLUB MEETS WITH
MRS. LONG
The Tranwood club met in the
home of Mrs. Nora Long on July 10.
She was assisted by Mrs. Carl Heller
and Mrs. Harold Long.
Miss Anna Long read a portion of
Psalm 37 and offered prayer.
Miss Counts insisted that we use
cotton stamps, not only for purchas
ing clothing but for replenishing
bed and table linens. Only pure cot-
,ton materials may be purchased with
these stamps.
The club is sponsoring an alumi
num shower for National Defense.
Those who are not club members
may carry their old and unnecessary
aluminum to the central place for col
lection in Newberry.
The annual picnic in August will
be at the home of Mrs. Willie Long
on the regular meeting day at 4 p. m.
Dr. J. W. Carson will be out of the
city next Sabbath, conducting sp •
cial services at Mt. Carmel, S. C. I.r.
Erland Nelson will have charge of
the services in the Newberry Asso
ciate Reformed Presbyterian church
at 11:30 a. m. and Dr. R. A. Gooaman
will conduct the services in the Kings
Creek church at 4 o’clock Sabbath af
ternoon. l
Treasurer Sees Income
Of The State Increase
State Treasurer Jeff B. Bates said
Monday the financial condition of the
provement and that there was no im
mediate need for borrowing money..
Under the deficit refunding act of
the last session of the legislature, the
state finance committee is authoriz
ed to issue state notes to balance
the budget _
Bates explained that while a deficit
did exist - in the general fund, other
funds, under a pooling system, were
being used to pay bills. Considering
the treasury as a whole, he said,
there was no actual deficit
FATE WINS ANOTHER SKIRMISH
The Baltimore Sun, June 20.
Most of us have an occasional bout
with Fate. Sometimes we go down;
sometimes we survive. , But the en
counters are rare, and they are not,
generally speaking, particularly per
sonalized. Fate doesn’t seem to have
a special grudge against us as indi
viduals.
Mr. David Lasser’s case is differ
ent Fate, acting through the Con
gress of the United States, has just
shot Mr. Lasser’s WPA job from un
der him. It wasn’t a tremendous job,
as such things go. It paid $4,400 a
year. But the Congress of the United
States devoted precious hours to it,
and today Mr. Lasser is once more
the victim of the mills of the gods.
Yet the chances are that Mr. Lass
er was as wholehearted, as enthusi
astic, and as devoted a servant of the
people as any in Washington. Mr.
Lasser has always been a wholeheart
ed devotee of his job. His job, in fact,
has always been to him an opportuni
ty. Maybe that’s why Fate singles
him out for its recurrent attacks.
Back in 1928 he devoted himself to
the cause of Mr. Herbert Hoover.
But Fate, discovering Mr. Lasser’s
devotion for Mr. Hoover, proceeded
to erase Mr. Hoover. Along came
technocracy. Ur. Laarcr saw the
light and devoted himself to techno
cracy. Fate heard about it and eras
ed technocracy. Mr. Lxisser devoted
himself to the cause of the Interplan
etary Society, whose ambition it was
to send a rocket to the moon. Fate,
in alliance with the gravitational
force, erased that cause.
His head bloody but unbowed, Mr.
Lasser teamed up with the unemploy
ed and .organized the Workers Alli
ance, the one big union of WPA work
ers. The Dies committee proved to
Mr. Lasser’s satisfaction that he was
being used as a cat’s paw of the Com
munists. Being a patriot, he rebelled,
which is to say he was out of a job
again.
That was the last heard of him un
til it transpired that he was on the
WPA pay roll at $4,400 a year, de
voting himself, we may be sure, with
wholehearted zeal to this new cause.
But Fate wasn’t through with him,
and the congressional action of Fri
day was the result.
Fate has thus won another skirmish
with the man she most delights to
torment. But don’t jump to the con
clusion that Mr. Lasser is licked.
Where he goes from here we have no
means of knowing, but it is dollars
to doughnuts that in a few months,
despite all the dark powers, Mr. Las
ser will have found a new cause and
wild be giving it all he’s got. Some
will pity him, but not we; we have a
hunch he’ll lick Fate yet.
POSTMASTER IS FIRED
Washington, July 14.—The post-
office department notified Representa-'
tive BulWmkle (D-NC) today that
Acting Postmaster Keeley A. Grice of
Charlotte, N. C., had been instructed
to discharge Paul Younts, postmaster
on leave, and five employes of the
office.
Acting First Assistant Postmaste
General J. M. Donaldson, informed
Bulwinkle the adtion was the result of
an investigation of charges made of
political activity by Charlotte postal
officials in violation of federal law.
In addition to the discharge of
Younts and the five employes, Don
aldson said the department had or
dered the suspension of five other em
ployes for 20 days and for the sus
pension of four employes for ten days.
Donaldson said the ‘disciplinary ac
tion” was recommended by the civil
service commission, which made an
investigation of the Charlotte post-
office charges.

Primary Ordered Fo r
September Second
Nominate Senator
DOWN MEMORY
LANE
30 YEARS AGO
Under action taken Wednesday by
the state Democratic executive com
mittee, South Carolinians will vote
in a primary to be held September 2
to nominate a United States senator
to run in the special general elec
tion Governor Burnet R. Maybank
said he would call for September 30.
The date for the primary was first
set for September 9, but later was
changed to the earlier date in order
to avoid legal complications involv
ing the general election. If a second
or run-off primary is necessary, it
will be held September 16.
To finance the primary or the prim
aries. the committee adopted a plan
which provided that:
Candidates for the short, or unex
pired senate term would' be assessed
$1,000 each; a $3,096 national Demo
cratic campaign balance would be
transferred to the committee ac
count; the election managers and
clerks would be paid $1 for each elec
tion day and would be issued script
to be redeemed whenever the money
was available.
This plan was worked out by a
special sub-oommittee of five mem
bers during the luncheon recess. It
was presented; to the meeting by W.
C. Mann from Pickens county, who
estimated that the committee “will
run from $7,500 to $8,000 in the hole
this year.”
Other members of the committee
were: W. B. Gibson of York, LeRoy
Anderson of Greenville, J. D. Parler
of Dorchester and J. Hermah Ligbt-
sey of Hampton. Motion for the ap
pointment of a committee to suggest
a plan for financing the election was
made by W. P. Baskin, Jr., of Lee.
Election Costs
Mann said the sub -comm ittee fig-
as follows: Printing and advertising,
$2,500; managers and clerks, $11,000;
committee meetings and expenses,
$1,000.
The committee was named after re
jection of a proposal by Senator Ed
gar A. Brown of Barnwell for the
committee to ask the general assem
bly to appropriate $50,000 for the
primary expenses. Although a num
ber of committeemen opposed
Brown’s motion, contending that
managers and clerks could be obtain
ed to work without pay, the vote
against it was only 22-21.
When it was finally decided to hold
the grst primary September 2 and
the second one, if necessary, Septem
ber 16, Maybank, who is the national
Democratic executive committeeman
from this state, told the meeting that
he would set the date for the general
election for September 30, the last
Tuesday of the month.
After the first primary date was
originally set for September 9, Geo.
Bell Timmerman of Lexington said
that the plan for the general election
to be held October 7, as had been sug
gested, ‘raised a very serious ques
tion of the legality of the election.”
He pointed out that James F.
Byrnes resigned from the senate July
8 to become a member of the su
preme court and that the law requir
ed the special election to be held and
declared within 90 days from that
date. October 7 would be 91 days
after July 8, he said.
To meet the situation, Timmerman
suggested that Maybank call the elec
tion for “not nater than Saturday,
October 3,” but, the governor, al
though saying he would co-operate
with the committee and call the elec
tion at any time agreed upon, con
tended that the holding of the elec
tion on any other day than Tuesday
would be ‘'breaking precedent.”

SCRAMBLED ROMANCE ROMPS
RIOTOUSLY IN SLY COMEDY
DEFENSE BOND QUIZ .
Merle Oberon and Melvyn Douglas
are co-starred as the blissfully happy
couple who discover they have no
right to be happy in the light-hearted
comedy, “That Uncertain Feeling’
which will be presented at the Opera
House, Monday and Tuesday, July 21
and 22.
Supporting Miss Oberon and Mel
vyn Douglas are Burgess Meredith,
who plays a wild-haired pianist with
a leaning toward surrealist art; Alan
Mowbray, as the psyohoanalyist who
does his level best to convince lovely
Merle that her marriage is not as
bright as it seems; Eve Arden, as
Sally, an unconventional private sec
retary; and Sig Rumarm seen as a
prosperity Hungarian mattress mer
chant.
Most of the action of the story un
winds on New York’s Park Avenue,
which, since the war, is the smartest
street in the world. Miss Oberon and
Douglas portray a young American
couple who have money but lead
rather simple lives until a psycho
analyst complicates things for them.

Question: What happens if I sud
denly need the money I put into a
Defense Savings Bond?
Answer: You can cash your Bond
at any time, after 60 days, for the
full amount paid, plus any interest
due you.
Question: Do many Bond owners
cash their Bonds?
Answer: No. People want to help
arm America against all attacks. In
many cases, people are putting every
cent they can spare into Defense
Bonds and Stamps. Some are doing
this by asking employers or banks
to withhold part of their salaries in
order to buy these Bonds or Stamps
for them.
