THE SUN Phone No. 1 HUN RAID ON SCOT LODGE KILLS 27 MASONS Twenty-seven Masons were killed and 37 severely injured when an ene my bombing raid scored a direct hit on a Scottish lodge in session, infor mation from Scotland has revealed. During the lodge meeting the alert had been sounded and several who- had ARP duties left for their posts. A Stream of light aided the bombers when ligts of motor cars were turn ed on. This led to one of the raid ers returning and dropping a bomb which destroyed the temple. With new devices, the Bureau of Standards may determine how much sound goes through walls and ceilings of various types. Also whether it is true that the tribe in the apartment upstairs keeps an elephant.—Detroit News.

EUGENE HIERS A lovely social event of the mid summer was the tea last Friday af ternoon honoring Mrs. Eugene Hiers, the former Miss Gladys McAlpin, whose marriage has been recently announced. The party was given by her mother, Mrs. R. F. Nichols, at her home on Drayton street and was attended by about fifty members of the city’s younger social set. A mixture of summer flowers dec orated the house with orange and yellow marigolds predominating in the hall while vases of pink, white, and red roses were used in the recep tion room with ivy. Mrs. Roy Anderson received callers at the door and Mrs. Richard Floyd introduced them to the receiving line. Mrs. Nichols headed the line. She was wearing a gown of dusty rose chiffon interlaced with silver threads and a shoulder corsage of pink rose buds and blue forget-me-nots tied with silver ribbons. The guest of honor was attractively attired in an afternoon gown of peach dotted swiss fashioned with a square lace- yoke neckline. Her flowers were white rosebuds and white forget-me- nots. Also receiving were a recent bride, Mrs. R. J. Nichols, the former Miss Doris Sligh, and Miss Mary Lane Whitaker whose marriage to Ralph Williams takes place August third 1 . Mrs. Nichols wore blue mousseline with yellow rosebuds on her shoulder while Miss Whitaker was gowned in blue lace and wore a corsage of pink rosebuds. The guests were invited into the dining room by Mrs. P. K. Harmon. A green and white color motif was effectively carried out in this room. Centering the linen covered table was a long reflector on which was mount ed a low white bowl of white roses and feverfew with fern. At either end of the arrangement was a minia ture old-fashioned lady holding simi lar flowers. Four tall white tapers in white holders burned about this centerpiece. On the buffet and man tle white flowers and candles were also used in decorating. On green and white salad plates were served sandwiches, attractive little green and white iced individual cakes, and green punch. Serving were Miss Mary Kester, Miss Dorothy Ruff, Miss Martha Buchannan, and Miss Virginia Anderson. Passing mints were Miss Susan Nichols and Miss Barbara Nichols. Mrs. Fred Gilbert was at the din ing room door directing the visitors to the register presided over by Miss Carolyn Buchannan. Upon leaving the tea the guests were presented favors which were bags of rice tied in cellophane and white ribbons by Miss Margaret Harmon. This event Friday between the hours of six and seven in the after noon was the first of a series to hon or Mrs. Hiers who is a popular young lady of the city. 50-50 MATCHING OF FEDERAL FUNDS WOULD BE ADANDONED IN STATES OF LOW INCOME Washington, July 18.—An eight- point program for liberalizing the social security act to provide for health insurance and to abandon the 50-50 matching of federal and state funds was recommended today by Chairman Arthur J. Altmeyer of the social security board. Asserting that the national de fense program had created many new problems of insecurity, Altmeyer told a house committee studying worker migration that it was “more essential than ever,” to make pro gress in social security. Cites British Effort Altmeyer commented in a state ment submitted to the committee that when the defense program arose some said there was no 'need for further advancement of social gains. Then he remarked that under similar cir cumstances Great Britain had liber alized and extended its social security program and added: “That is what Britain has done when^Britain was up against bombs. “We have made a good beginning in our social security program but that is not enough. We still do not have any social insurance program covering the risk of ill health. The method of social insurance can be applied to the problems of health just as it already has been applied in the case of unemployment, cld age and death.” Recalling that some persons had expressed concern that health se curity might lead to “socialized medi cine,” Altmeyer said: ‘Socialized Medicine’ is something to which I am opposed if that phrase means a system which destroys the personal relationship between the patient and his doctor. The present trouble about free choice of a doctor is that so many people have neither a choice nor a doctor.” Despite all the talk about price fixing, present trends in living costs, indicate this fact: So far as prices are concerned all of us had better prepare ourselves for a late fall.— Pathfinder. The greatest general is he who makes the fewest mistakes. , MILL ASKED TO RUN SUNDAYS COLUMBIA, July 18.—In an effort to conserve electrical energy for na tional defense, as requested by the Federal Power Commission, The South Carolina Public Service Com mission is taking steps to increase the output of the textile establish ments, including Mollohon Mills, at Newberry, in this State in order that they might build up inventories against possible curtailment of elec trical power within the next few weeks. This is a statement issued by The Public Service Commission today: “The increase in the load of alumi num production is becoming greater day by day,” said the Commission’s statement, “and in an effort to sup ply electrical energy to the pots of aluminum plants that are producing for airplanes the Commission has taken positive steps to conserve, as far as possible, the electrical energy in South Carolina. A movement started some weeks ago by the Fed eral Power Commission to curtail consumption has been temporarily suspended because of the heavy rains and the increase in the output of pow er from the hydroelectric plants. It is estimated, however, that the res ervoirs in the aluminum area will be pulled down to such an extent that power for these plants will have to be supplied shortly* from this and other states. This will necessitate, undoubtedly, a curtailment og textile operations in this State. "The Commission, therefore, is looking with grave concern upon what might be a very definite cur tailment in this industry and, for that reason, it has requested the var ious textile manufacturing establish ments, including the Mollohon Mills of this city, to operate on Sunday in order to build up their inventories against the time when there will be definite curtailment in the output of these industries. Likewise, the op erations on Sunday and possibly the night periods will mean that the op eratives may build up a reserve of cash against the time when they will be cut off for some hours during each week in the curtailment period. “While the Commission regrets ex ceedingly that the custom of non operation on Sunday must be breach ed at this time, yet it is necessary in the all-out defense of the United States.” Replies from various cotton mills throughout the State have been favor able and almost universal Sunday op erations are taking place or will take place within a short time. The various churches are taking a liberal view of this matter, and there has been no "protest as far as the Com mission has been able to ascertain against these Sunday operations. As an incident of what is happen ing: In several Georgia towns the ministers have abandoned Sunday services and are holding their ser vices on Monday. KEEPING FAITH WITH THE DRAFTEES (The Galesurg (111.) Daily Register- Mail of July 15, 1941.) Congressional leaders in conference with President Roosevelt and his Chief of Staff, General Marshall, are reported to have informed the Presi dent that he is in for a hot battle if he insists upon pressing for legisla tion which would lift the year’s limit service for draftees and guardsmen, and also the restrictions upon the use of such service men outside the Unit ed States and its possessions. In spite of these warnings from Members of House and Senate, ft is said that the administration is de termined to press for the legislation because of the allegedly startling in formation gathered by the Army and other service intelligences of dangers impending for this country. This in formation, the character of which can only be surmised, as its possessors assert its revelation would jeopar dize the public interest, is said to be giving serious concern to the high command of the Army and Navy and causes extreme reluctance to forego their plans to retain the trainees in service. On the other hand. Members of Congress, many of whom voted for the draft law only because it provid ed that selectees would be required to give 1 year of active service in the United States Army, feel their faith is pledged and that they are obligated to stand by this assurance to the men. The ultimate action of Congress would seem to hinge solely on what may be the extent and nature of the perils to the country which require that the solons be asked to lay them selves open to the charge of bad faith and keep the trainees beyond their original term. It would appear that there must be some features of the situation, at least, which might be publicized without prejudice to the general interest and which might ac quaint the people with the gravity of the situation. , We are not disposed to accuse either the President or the military chiefs with conjuring up bogey men to frighten the people and the Con gress into enabling legislation which they may desire. But it does appear that the men involved and their fam ilies and the people of the country are entitled to something more spe cific than the vague and general ized statements so far permitted to be made. If the circumstances are such that there is immediate danger of hos tilities, it should be borne in mind that, if, and when, the United States bcomes involved; it will not be Presi dent Roosevelt’s private war, nor the military chieftain’s private war, but a war in which all will be involved. The people of the United States, by and large, presumably are sufficiently intelligent and trustworthy to share in some degree a knowledge of the facts. Nothing could be more pre judicial to faith in democratic Insti tutions and the unity of purpose re quired to successfully prosecute a war, than an official assumption Oiat a. people supposedly qualified for self government, still are too dumb to be entrusted with the truth about the military situation. An interesting and timely apprais al of the question of extending the service time of draftees and! guards men is contained in a recent issue of the Christian Science Monitor, which follows: “Doubtless the Army is dealing with a very urgent situation in the recommendation made by Gen. George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff, that Con gress authorize the retention of se lective service trainees, National Guard units, and Reserve officers be yond the year for which they were called into service. Yet the recommen- datidn is a questionable oi)e. “As to the guard units tfnd Reserve officers the request is not unfair, since the men in these branches of the service have known from their first enrollment that they might be called upon in an emergency and for the du ration of the emergency. “However, the selective - service trainee is in a diffemt position. He was chosen out of a large registra- tion, among which there are thous- KEEP ’EM EYING, HOUSEWIVES Give Aluminum Scrap Pots and Pans For The Nation’s Defense Needs The housewives of Newberry County have an excellent opportunity to serve the country’s delense efforts by giv ing all the old aluminum pots, pans, and scraps around the home that are non usable, to the Newberry Junior Chamber of Commerce and Boy Scouts collection cam paign. They will then see that it gets to the proper au thorities to be converted into planes and battleships for the defense of the country. No one will make any pro fit. COLLECT YOUR ALUMINUM NOW! Junior Chamber Of Commerce and the Boy Scouts OVER 900 POUNDS OF FISH CAUGHT AT KEMPSON’S BRIDGE Saluda Standard. It was quite a sight to see the fish that were caught down near Kemp- son’s bridge by the Nichols, Hipp and Gibson families who live near there. The members of these fam ilies just waded’ out into the shallow water and caught them with their hands. They ranged in size fsom 4 to 8 pounds each. Hoyt Gibson and Jake Nichols brought some to town to their relatives who live here. They say that they caught lots of them averaging 6 pounds and over— the boys say it was great sport picking up these big ones. MOTOR VEHICLE HEARING SET Application of C. D.

He was given no choice as to whether he should serve. Throughout the dis cussions of the Draft Act and! its early administration there was an implied promise that when the man had completed his year of training he would return to his peacetime occupa tion subject to call only as a reserv ist. “It is important to morale at home and in camp that the Government should scrupulously keep faith with the men whom it has conscripted for service. If those specialists and tech nicians who are particularly needed in their units can be persuaded to volun teer, that is good. The counter at tractions to be considered illustrate anew that the rewards of sheltered jobs at home should not be allowed to outstrip those of service in the arm ed forces. “Congress should ponder this ques tion carefully. No objection would be made to notifying the draftees called henceforward that they might be h«M for longer service. But the Senate Naval affairs committee has lately refused a request for authority to hold naval enlisted men beyond the term for which they signed. A great number of useful potential selectees are awaiting the places vacated by those who have had their year of training.” Choice Fruits Peaches, Grapes, Figs and Boiled Peanuts Tomatoes, Watermelons, and • Cantaloupes Located on cut-off opposite Lonnie's Pure-OII Station Drive out Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays and get fresh fruits, picked directly from my orchard in Leesville.
