MAKE EVERY PAYDAY BOND DAY For Victory... U.S. DEFENSE BONDS STAMPS VOLUME 5; NO. 19 The Rising Son—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1942 PUBLISHED WEEKLY $1.00 PER YEAR OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE THE “DISUN ITERS” Government inspired bunk con demning “those who would disunite us” is nightly filling the air. The government would put all its critics into one dirty mob, regardless of their sincerity. LIVING STANDARDS The New York newspaper “PM” got itself worked up over the sad plight of the automobile workers who are being thrown out of work as a result of the change-over to war production of that industry and sent a reporter to Detroit to investigate. Here is the picture of destitution he found: A family of five were hav ing to struggle along on ?7 a month cash, $38 a month in groceries, free house rent and a ton of coal each month. That is perhaps little enough for a family of five to have to live on, but how juicy it looks in comparison with the monthly fare of the average Southern farm family where thous ands have no more than 50c worth of meal and a slab of meat plus a little sorghum to stir in their white gravy. STEPS IN RIGHT DIRECTION This war will not be won with words. It will not be won with talk about sacrifice and privation. Those things the American people will take as a matter of course. This war will be won with work. It will be won by putting to use the great Ameri can production machine to the abso lute limit. A senate committee has made its report on the defense effort up to the middle of January. It cites example after example of waste, inefficiency, failure and self-interest. Some high government officials proved them selves astoundingly incompetent. Some business men were reluctant to manda. Many labor leaders put their ambitions and interests above the needs of a nation in peril. The peo ple were apathetic. Too few seemed to realize that it is one thing to ap propriate tens of billions for defense and war—and a very different and more difficult thing to turn those billions into the tools of war. We must pursue a different path in the future. The appointment of a one-man defense head and the abo lition of the bungling OPM are im portant steps in the right direction. PRESS AND PENSIONS Certain wrathful congressmen now are rapping the newspapers fo r turn, ing the light on the pension bill that went thru the House of Repre sentatives without a roll call. This is a customary procedure among some of the solons when they get in a tight fix. Up a tree, they begin to look around for someone on whom they can blame their plight. If no one else is in sight that will do for a ‘goat’ they fire broadsides at the press. The newspapers, however, were not the first to sound the alarm— that commendable task fell to the lot of a member of congress itself— Senator Harry F. Byrd. It wa» not until after he had begun to belabor the pension bill that the newspapers began to make full reports on the bill and to open up a vigorous edi torial fire against it. The Virginia senator turned on the heat and the newspapers kept the temperature rising. Pensions for congressmen any time in questionable. At this time, when all Americans a re being deprived of many comforts and conveniences, the proposal to pension the lawmakers at Washington is disgraceful. PUERTO RICO SICK OF REX You will remember Rexford Guy Tugwell, one of the original and pinkest of the Brain Trust. He was shoved off on the poor Puerto Ricans after his hatch of crack pot ideas in the Roosevelt inner cabinet. Comes now Senators Iriarte and Rivera, presidents of the coalition party of Puerto Rico, representing a majority of the people, to say that they also can get along nicely with out him. In reading you will of course not overlook the gent who has been prais ing Rex: San Juan, P. R., F 13, 1942. HAOLD L. ICKES, Secretary of the Interior, Washington, D. C.: Not withstanding all your words of praise and commendation, Gover nor Tugwell proves as big a failure here as in the States. He discredits and demoralizes the government of Business Women To Expect Heavy Drop Hear of Organization In Gas Tax Receipts Newberry Gets 25 From New Car Quota Many Pay Fines For Violating Traffic Laws A meeting in the interest of or ganizing a Business and Professional Women’s Club in Newberry will be held Friday evening, February 27, at the Willowbrook club house at 7:30 o’clock.

WORK Japan Will Permit Aid to War Prisoners , > Orlando, Fla., Feb. 23.—The Jap anese have agreed in principle to per mit Y.M.C.A. work to go on in Ja pan among American, Dutch and oth er prisoners of war, Darius A. Da vis, field official with headquarters in Switzerland, revealed today.

MIMS RETURNS HOME Mrs. Dick Mims returned to her home in Newberry Sunday after spending three weeks in Alexandria, Va., where she attended the Ameri can Red Cross Training Institute for executive seretaries. Peurto Rico. If you are in complete accord with Tugwell, you are des troying the faith your fellow citizens of this island have in the spirit of justice and fairness they have the right to expect from you as head of the Department dealing with in sular affairs. We insist on demand ing Tugwell’s removal as only way to restore peace a nd orde r in our is land. It is not a question of patron age, although we know patronage was generally prevailing policy in selection of our Governors, with very few exceptions. Puerto Rico is sick and tired of undesirable Federal ap pointees whose incumbence would not be tolerated by any American community. Our devotion to nation al defense will not tolerate its being taken advantage of to suffer a public nuisance at the head our government. Sabotage you refer to only exists among conspicious enemies of >ur flag and nation well know to you and now controlling governmental agen cies in Puerto Rico. The American citizens of Puerto Rico resent your statements, showing a lack of states manship and impartiality improper of a high official entrusted with duty to be fair and just. We will fight Tugwell to the end, regardless of your unjustifiable support to him. Columbia, Feb. 24.—C. R. McMil lan, state highway engineer, predict ed today the tire and automobile ra tioning program would reduce the state’s gasoline tax receipts 25 per cent by July 1. “We expect the reduction to be anywhere from 25 to 35 per cent,” the engineer said. McMillan said he based his pre diction on a report made last Thurs day by the highway department’s planning board which estimated gasoline revenues for the year would total 88,611,000. The report stated the “average South Carolina motorist is evidently not yet. aware of the seriousness of the rubber situation” and said in the last two weeks of January travel dropped only 10 per cent. The trend, however, was toward a further curtailment of motoring be cause of tire restrictions and Mc Millan estimated that by July the monthly consumption of gasoline would be 14,800,000 gallons compar ed with a normal use of 23,650,000. BOY SCOUTS WILL REMOVE LICENSES PLATES Secretary of chamber of commerce L. C.
