THE NEWBERRY SUM

Billroys Coming Soon
Billroy’s Comedians bring to this
city the greatest attraction ever
presented with any musical revue
under canvas, in the person of Ming
Toy, the sensational Chinese dancer.
Compared with Ming Toy’s “Dance
Terrifique,” the Fan Dance and tne
Bubble dance pale into insignific
ance. She is the leading, but at the
same time the only one of the many
star-studded attractions in the per
sonnel of Billroy’s commedians,
which, with its company of eighty
people, including many lovely chorus
girls and fifteen featured vaudeville
acts, will be presented in Newberry
for one nigtht only on Tuesday, April
28th in a huge tented theatre, lo
cated at back of Greystone service
station.
Above is pictured a group of Bill
roy’s beuties.
Exotic Ming Toy is making her
first appearance on the vaudeville
stage. She has never before been
seen away from the gay night spots
on Broadway and the Orient, and her
presentation of the “Dance Tferrifi-
que” offers ultimate in lissome dance
girlhood.
The doors of the big tent open at
7:15 P. M., with overture by The
Top Hats at 7:30, and the curtain is
at 8:15. Billroy’s famed popular
prices will again prevail, with ladies
free when accompanied by one paid
adult admission.
DRAFT REJECTEES ENROLLED
IN WORK
Chicago, April 11.—The F-4s of
the draft are rapidly becoming the
A-ls in industries behind America’s
mighty drive to crush the Axis.
Vast numbers of young men re
jected for combat duty because of
a heart disease, tuberculosis, or
some other physical defect not vis
ible to the naked eye are doing
their bit in humming machine shops,
in the United States ordnance study
rooms and in manufacturing plants,
both large and small, the Illinois re
habilitation service reports.
Only a few shor’t , months ago
many of these rejectees were fret
ting because there seemed to be no
way for them to help Uncle Sam.
Today the rehabilitation department
cited these as typical examples to
show how the picture has changed:
Young men whose hearts won’t
stand the excitement of a parachute
leap are proving themselves 100 per
cent efficient handling precision in
struments over work benches.
Cripples Get Jobs
Selectees with arrested tubereulo-
isi are checking bullets and shells.
Others are repairing airplane parts.
A boy with one hand, who can’t
handle a machine gun, is operating
radio equipment with speed and
ease.
A deaf youth who can’t be trusted
as a sentry because of his deafness
is working amid the thunder of a
metal welding shop as efficiently as
normal workers, if not more so.
“The rescue of these handicapped
youths,” a spokesman for the re
habilitation service said, “is now
on a national scale, but the work
started January 21 when Frank G.
Thompson, director of the depart
ment of registration and education
of which the rehabilitation service is
a part, overheard a limping strang
er say: “They turned me down, but
there must be a thousand ( places
where I could do something to whip
the Japs and azis.”
That same day Thompson an
nounced the division of rehabilita
tion had offered its services and
within a week 1,526 men were en
rolled for rehabilitation. Classify
ing the young men, the staff stud
ied and began combing the industry
for jobs.

C. where she has accepted a position

Nine Million War Bond Purchases
Reported lor Beer’s 9ih Birthday
Hundreds of Millions in Taxes Paid in 1941
Help Fund [Nation's War Effort
A 9 million dollar purchase of de
fense bonds by brewers and
their employes was announced as
a feature of the industry s com
memoration of the ninth anmvers
ary of beer s re-legalization by Con
gress in 1933. Continuing purchase
of additional millions of defense
bonds has been arranged through
out the industry "for the duration."
In addition to bond subscriptions,
the industry's huge tax payments
are swelling the Federal revenues
for the Nation's war effort The
Brewing Industry Foundation an
nounced that beer taxes ot $343,876.-
726. paid to the Federal govern
ment last year, were sufficient to
buy about 1.000 four-engined bomb
ers, or 3.488 tighter planes, ot 43
destroyers, or 58 submarines or
5.194 medium tanks, or to equip
1,392.000 soldiers.
Listing other social and econom
ic gains in the nine years since
Congressional action re - legalized
the manufacture and sale of beer
April 7, 1933, The Foundation cited
these benefits:
1. Thousands of local tomtquni-
ties bave shared in business bene
fits totaling 15 and a quarter bil
lion dollars through retail sale of
beer, and distributed in trade chan
nels of every state.
2. Employment was provided for
a million persons, engaged m the
manufacture and distribution of
beer, and in about 100 allied indus
tries supplying materials, equip
ment and services.
S. Brewers have purchased 33
billion pounds of farm products at
a cost of about 815 million dollars.
4. In nine years. Federal, Stale
and local beer taxes approximated
$3.28(M)00.n00. Taxes represented
| about 2',^ cents ot every dime the
consumei paid toi beer in 1941.
Beer tax money is applied tn dif-
t'erem states toward old-age pen
sions. maintenance of public
schools state institutions, relief,
public health, physically handicap
ped and dependent children, aid to
agriculture and various public im
provements.
5. Promotion ol moderation has
resulted in better law observance
and in lower traffic casualty and
alcoholism rates.
6. A record ot temperance and
good conduct throughout the armed
forces in connection with sale of
beer in military areas in 37 stales.
7. The brewers program of vol
untary cooperation with taw en
forcement agencies continues to
win increasing public approval.
8. A wholesome beverage of mod
eration is legally available in every
state and consumed by from 40 to
50 million people.
Throughout the country, the,
brewing industry is asking the peo
ple to be moderate, patronize only
legal and reputable places where
beer and ale are sold, and to urge
upon friends and public oflicials the
vital need ot separating beer from
any unwholesome influences. The
industry is as vigorously opposed
to the "black sheep" type of licens
ed retailer, as are those who erron
eously hold beer responsible foi
his misdeeds.

It is most important that we give
heed to the proclamation quoted be
low:
“Now, Therefore, I, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, President of the United
States of America, in recomition of
the vital importance of the health
of the children to the strength of
the Nation, do hereby designate the
first day of May of this year as
Child Health Day.
“And I call upon the people in
each of our communities to contri
bute to the conservation of Child
Health and the reduction of illness
among children by exerting every ef
fort to the end that before May Day
—Child Health Day—children over
nine months of age be immunized
against diptheria and smallpox, the
two diseases for which we have the
surest means of prevention.”
If you haven’t looked after these
important measures you should not
endanger the lives of your children
any longer. Act to day!
The following points should be
kept in mind in producing, handling
and marketing quality eggs:
1. —Keep nests filled with clean
nesting material. This helps to pre
vent dirty and cracked eggs.
2. —Put wire netting beneath the
roosting poles to keep birds out of
the droppings.
3. —Keep laying flock in the house
until noon each day, and gather the
eggs when the flock is turned out
so birds returning to the nest with
muddy feet will not soil a number
of eggs.
4.—Sell the male birds at the end
of the breeding season. Produce in
fertile eggs—they keep better.
5.—Do not permit (broody hens to
set on eggs.
Handling Quality Eggs
1. —Handle eggs with care and
with clean hands.
2. —Gather eggs at least twice
daily in wire baskets. Leave eggs
in wire baskets overnight or spread
upon wire trays to cool. It is nec
essary to remove the animal heat
from eggs quickly in order to re
tain the flavor and interior quality.
3. —Eggs should be stored in a
cool, fairly moist, well-ventilated
place, preferably on a concrete
floor that has been sprinkled, until
they are marketed.
4.—Hold eggs in the coolest room
available. A temperature between
40 and 60 degrees is preferable. •
Markting
1. —Clean slightly dirty or stained
eggs with fine steel wool, emery
cloth or damp cloth and soda. Never
wash them.
2. —Market eggs in clean, odorless
cases or containers.
3. —Market eggs at least twice a
week.
4. —Pack eggs with large ends up.
5. —Ask your county and home
agent for any additional information
that you may need,
ROAD JOBS MAY STOP
Columbia, April 11.—Chief High
way Commissioner J. S. Williamson
said today a recent war production
board order severely curtailing
heavy construction materials avail
able for general uses would probab
ly make it impossible tor the high
way department to start any new
construction other than defense jobs.
“The (war production) board or
der will revise our already curtailed
program further,” Williamson said.
“Just how much further I don’t
know yet. An unofficial copy of the
order has just reached me.
“It will certainly limit our pro
gram to projects under way and of
a defense nature. It may even mean
we will have to shut down non-de
fense construction now in progress.”
Williamson said he was getting
reports from district highway offis-
es, and would issue a statement on
the highway construction program’s
revised outlook on the basis of these
and the board order.
CUFFS WILL BE COSTLY
“Pants cuffs to cost $10,000 and
a year” is the heading of a special
bulletin being mailed out to mem
bers of the merchants’ associations.
The bulletin, which is directed es
pecially to men’s clothiers, tailors,
department stores, cleaners Jauin-
dries and pressing clubs, quotes
from the New York Times, April
3:
‘Under orders effective April 1,
issued by the War Production board
no person shall finish a pair of
trousers made of wool cloth with
cuffs or cause such to be finished
with cuffs by others for his account.
Any fellow so vilanious as to enter
tain the idea of buying unfinished
pants and then adding the cuffs is
hereby warned that the full might
of the government is ranged against
him. Cuff sneaks face a fine of
$10,000 and a year in prison.”
FRESHNESS THEME IS ADOPT
ED FOR 1942 COTTON WEEK
Memphis, Tenn.—More than 10,-
000 individuals and organizations in
the seventeen cotton producing
states were called to active duty
today by the National Cotton coun
cil and the Cotton Textile Institute
to carry to the consumer the “cotton
freshness” message of the 1942
National Cotton Week, May 15-23.
The Council and Institute, who
sponsor Cotton Week annually, said
that they were asking for full sup
port from the Council’s 700 county
committees, the 1,000 chambe-ra of
commerce of the Cotton belt, 2,300
civic clubs, and 2,000 home demon
stration agents in inaugurating
community - wide Cotton Week ob
servances in every city in the belt.
“The importance of the 1942
National Cotton Week can hardly
be overestimated,” a Council-Insti
tute spokesman said. “It is essen
tial that every consumer become
acquainted with the full meaning of
the slogan ‘cotton freshness’ for
fighting trim, which has already
been adopted by the cotton industry
as the theme of its nationwide edu
cational campaign.
“In these times when the national
watchword is conservation, cottons
are the most suitable fabrics for
civilian consumption,” he continued.
“Cotton fabrics will withstand more
washings and more strain than any
other fibre. Their use by civilians
is fully in line with the govern
ment’s conservation program.
“And it is equally true that cot
ton freshness and fighting trim go
hand in hand. With the whole coun
try geared to hard work as never
before, there is no better way' to
start the day’s work than with a
bath and fresh, clean cotton clothes.
There is a freshness about clean
cottons that helps build the high
morale which will win the battle of
production.”
Plans are being made by the
Council-Institute to supply county
committees, chambers of commerce
and other groups with supplies
wnich can be used in stimulating
community-wide participation in
the Cotton Week program.
The Institute of distribution, rep
resenting non-food chain stores
throughout the United States, has
pledges full cooperation to the pro
ject, as have other similar organ
izations and advertising groups in
every section of the country.
The Council-Institute said it is
anticipated that retail store re
sponse to Cotton Week will be even
greater than last year when all
previous records were broken.

We’re going to win this war . . . if we spit

we SWEAT instead of perspire.
If we roll out far more guns—far more
tanks—/ar more ships—far more planes.
And if we don’t forget for a minute that
guns and tanks and ships and planes cannot
pay for themselves!
If we remember it takes money. Lots of it.
The Government is asking us to lend it.
Not just our spare cash. But every blessed
dollar we can afford.
The Government wants us to buy Stamps
and Bonds with it. And still more Stamps
and Bonds.
Let’s not make the fatal mistake of sitting
back and letting the other fellow do it.
Let’s do it now. Everybody. You. Me.
Us. All.
Start now buying Stamps and Bonds every
