Keeping Newberry To
The Front
(No. 1 of a Series)
Nature displays .numerous ob
ject lessons in cooperation that
should be copied by communi
ties.
Hundred of bees to each comb of
honey make a comparatively quick
and easy operation of what would be
an impossible task for a lone bee,
however industrious.
On every side nature flaunts this
lesson in man’s face, ■fhe seed in
itself ds nothing. Sun, soil and mois
ture must cooperate with the latent
germ in order to produce plant life.
The solides rock is only cooperating
atoms. The strongest man is weak
alone. Only by working with others
or winning others to work with him
can achieve worthwhile results.
To cooperate is to join forces and
something more. It is to join hearts
as well as hands—and slip a little
soul into the bargain.
The Newberry chamber of com
merce is an organization working
for the good of all. Every community
has its men who turn an indifferent
eye to the live projects of the town.
Perhaps its because they do not know
what it all means.
You have no more right to be in
different to your city’s efforts, hopes
and ambitions than to neglect your
own family. For every citizen is in
reality a sort of “relative.” You,
as a unit, are morally responsible for
what is done—what is left undone.
Come now—break through the ice I
A crowd of mighty good fellows,
fired by an ambition to put the good
old town over in big shape, are giv
ing extra time unselfishly to this
effort. And, best of all, once they
get in it, they enjoy it. They feel
that they are accomplishing momen
tous projects for themselves, their
children and their children’s children.

Johnston May Run
Governor Or Senate
Spartanburg, April 26.— Former
Governor Olin D. Johnston, Spartan
burg attorney, said tonight he defin
itely would not oppose Representa
tive Bryson of the Fourth district, in
the Democratic primaries this sum
mer but “if I run for anything it will
be for governor or senator.”
Johnston made the statement when
asked by newspaper men about a
rumor that he would oppose the
Greenville man.
“I have been so concerned about
the war that I have not given my
political future much consideration,”
Johnston, governor from 1935 to 1939
said.
“I am more in favor of winning
the war than anything else right now.
The war situation is more serious
than a great many of our people
realize.”
The posts of Governor R. M. Jeff
eries and Senator Burnet R. May-
bank must be filled this year.

M’ARTHUR CALLED AN ACE
SHOWMAN
Gen. Grunert Says Chief in South
Pacific is an Individual Stylist
Chicago, April 25—General Doug
las MacArthur is a natural showman
and an individual stylist in the opin
ion of Major General George Grunert,
a friend of twenty-four years stahd-
ing-
Grunert, commander of the Sixth
corps area, served with the United
Nations commander during the first
World War, on the war department
general staff, and as a brigade,
division, and department commander
in the Philippines. He knows the
Bataan hero well.
MacArthur is a most interesting
and fluent talker—but usually only
when 'interested,” Grunert said.
“When not interested he lets others
do the talking.
“The general could not be classi
fied as a socialite. When in Manila
as field marshal for the Filipino
army his attendance at parties was
limited to official, semi-official,
and few social affairs.”
Grunert said MacArthur was near
ly shot during the last war because
he couldn’t stand the stiff-crown
ed cap of the A. E. F. He re
moved the rear supporting wires
of the cap and allowed the cloth to
droop into a more becoming shape,
thus making it resemble a snappy
German headpiece. He was held up
near the front by an American force
and narrowly escaped shooting. It
wasn’t one of MacArthur’s outfits,
Grunert said, because they all knew
him and knew his tendency to wan
der well forward for a look-see.
“I have never known MacArthur
to dance,” Grunert said, “but Mrs.
MacArthur enjoyed dancing and of
ten maneuvered him into a group for
discussion while she danced. She
kept a weather eye on him for signs
of boredom.”
Grunert was with MacArthur in
the Philippines from 1936 to the
latter part of 1941. They were close
ly associated in strengthening the
Philippines defense.
“The Filipinos love MacArthur as
typifying their ideal top-side man,"
Grunert said. “They have the same
love of liberty as have we, and the
desire to continue the way of life
they have been enjoying under
American supervision.”
MacArthur recently was elected
an honorary member of the Chi
cago Union League club, the forty-
founh person so honored. Other
honorary members include nine
presidents and Generals Pershing,
Grant, Sheridan, and Sherman.

ley, also of Laurel, and a sister-in-
law of Mrs. Boss, will be matron of

S. C. FIRST STATE TO ACCEPT
GIRLS FOR FARM WORK
New York, April 26.—The farm
movement got a big push forward
when those two Bronx college girls
announced their plans to put glamor
behind the plow and ease the farm
hand shortage in South Carolina.
Misses Rita Eiron, eighteen years
old, and Helen KamerosI eighteen,
snappy looking Hunter college stu
dents, were one jump ahead of the
order of Federal Security Adminis
trator Paul V. McNutt to register
high school and college students for
possible calling up in crop emergen
cies.
Without waiting for registration
and recruiting, Helen and Rita went
right out and ploughed up a farm
job and announced the results to
their astonished parents and anyone
else in earshot.
What with the war, defense and
everything, Rita explained, this
spring, their fancy turned to some
thing that had never crossed their
minds before—^farming.
They worked out their plan, she
said, while walking in New York’s
only bucolic area—deep in the heart
of Central park.
“All we know about farming is
what we learned puttering with back
yard agriculture,” Rita said. “But
we heard so much about the farm
hand shortage we thought we ought
to help.
“We are not on a lark and we’re
not trying to run away to cure any
broken hearts. Our first problefii
was to find a farm to work on.”
The girls, pretty and husky, wrote
letters to seventy-one state secre
taries of agriculture, heads of farm
bureaus, chambers of commerce and
civic leaders in forty-six states. For
good measure they sent one to Squire
Franklin D. Roosevelt, well-known
member of the landed gentry, ex
plaining their project.
Describing themselves as “eigh
teen-year-old female college students
the girls explained they were major
ing in science, were strong and
healthy and were “personally inter
ested in farm work, as well as con
cerned because of our dsire to con
tribute to the welfare of the nation.”
Answers were slow in arriving and
Helen and Rita were about ready to
let the whole thing die on the vine
when replies arrived—nineteen of
them
“Every last one of them said no,
but one,” Rita said, still indignant
over this snub. “ They were polite,
but they were firm. You could see
they were afraid of getting some
light-minded, useless city girls who
would be a worse problem than the
labor shortage.”
The single exception was State
Agriculture Commissioner J. Roy
Jones, of South Carolina.
Jones said, in effect, “do come
right over.” He generously listed a
large selection of good farms, all
needing extra hands—and all of them
investigated, he pointed out.
“My family were in a state over
it,” Rita said. “They yielded to in
tense cultivation, however, and now
are crazier about it than I am,’’she
said.
“I don’t know a plow from a hoe,”
she said, flexing her muscles im
pressively, “but I can learn.”
8000 Newberrians
Enrolled For Service
At the conclusion of the fourth reg
istration under the Selective Service
Training and Service Act of 1940,
approximately 8,660 men of Newberry
county had registered.
The most recent registration in
this county saw 2,500 men between
the ages of 45 and 65 visiting regis
tration centers to sign up for such
service they could render Uncle Sam
This registration bvgan Monday, Ap
ril 20, and was concluded at 9 o’clock
on the night of April 27. The school
centers were opened all day on the
27th, but last week some nine hund
red men reported to the local board
offices in th e Exchange building for
registration. Men who registered
this month are not liable for military
service. In the near future the local
boards will send this group occupa
tional questionnaires.
The previous registrations in New
berry county gav e a total of about
6,100 men. The first registration
was on October 16, 1940 for the 21-36
age group. On July 1 of 1941, men
who became 21 were required to sub
mit themselves for registration.
February 16 of this year, those reg
istering for possible military service
were 20 and 21 year*olds and that
group from 36 to 45. With the last
registration taking the 45-65 group,
only the 18 to 20 group remains to
be registered as allowed by law.
TEMPORARY POWER
SUSPENSIONS
Summer time is fast approaching
and along with summer comes our
worst lighting season, and you have
no doubt already experienced the in
conveniences of being without elec
tricity caused by an electric storm.
We are trying to elimrnate some of
these inconveniences by installing
new equipment along our lines; to do
this we will be tompelled to take the
current off the? line for an hour.or
two at a time, tl’e will try to do this
in the middle of |he morning or even
ing so bear wr(|i os in this matter
and probably we x0t be able to give
you better service following an elec
tric storm.

Maybank Opposed To
Lower Farm Ceilings
Washington, April 27.—Some of
the Southern congressmen expressed
dissatisfaction tonight with tne part
of President Roosevelts’ anti-infla
tion message which dealt with farm
prices.
Senator Maybank expressed op
position to the President's proposal
ror a revision of the farm parity
price formula.
He said ne was “very much pleas
ed” with the remainder of the mes
sages, but he hoped nothing would
be done “to prevent the farmer from
receiving a fair return on his labor
and investment.”
“Farmers have suffered extensive
ly by inability to get equipment, fer
tilizer and labor,” Maybank added.
“They have lost a large part of their
labor by volunteers and a movement
of farm labor to war industries and
shipyards.
"We do not want the cost of living
to increase so as to create inflation,
but we certainly want to save the
farmer’s standard of living at a level
to enable him to farm.”
He said he did not believe farm
prices were too high.
"There have been no runaway
prices and the farmer doesn’t want
runaway prices,” he declared.
Representative Brown, of Georgia
author of an amendment in the price
control act guarding against low ag
ricultural ceilings, said:
“The farmers are entitled to the
same quality of treatment as other
classes. I have always advocated
this and I shall continue my efforts
to maintain same.”
Senator Russell of Geoigia said he
was opposed to the proposal to lower
farm price ceilings from 110 per ct.
of parity to parity.

DOWN MEMORY
LANE
TWENTY YEARS AGO
Miss Mazie Dominick presented
her music student, Miss Troxelle
Wright in a graduating recital Fri
day afternoon, beginning at 5 o’clock.
The affair was given at the home of
Mi* Dominick in College street, in
the presence of about 25 friends and
relatives of Miss Wright.
Graceful baskets of pink carna
tions, sweet peas, and handsome pot-
te plants furnished a background
for the gifted young performer who,
herself, was a picture of girlish love
liness in her frock of pink Drsden
chiffon, with which she wore a cor
sage boquet of sweet peas.
Miss Dominick assisted her pupil
in playing several numbers requiring
four hands. Miss Wright displayed
great talent as well as careful train
ing in the rendition of her program
and the most difficult pieces were
played with the finesse and grace of
a real artist.
At the conclusion of the recital
tempting refreshments of iced tea
and sandwiches were served by Miss
es Carolyn Weeks, Clair Sligh and
Mary Wright. Tthe young graduate
was the recipient of many beautiful
flowers and other gifts of a more
practical nature.
There is another little girl at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Stone,
comer College and Harrington street,
since Friday. The rfew arrival makes
a pair of girls to be with the pair of
boys.
Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Wright, of
Anderson were weekend guests of
Mrs. Beta Wright.
When city council gave the civic
league $25, and Hal Kohn gave the
same organization several dollars to
make up a balance of $50 from the
proceeds of a recent picture Manager
Wells ran for their benefit, for the
old court house square, these forces
helped greatly to make the ladies
happy,* for which little deeds of kind
ness the leaders and active worker
of the league truly appreciate.
It is not too late to state that
every man conneced with the fire
department of Newberry was present
Friday afternoon at the Newberry
Lumber company’s fire. Our fire
men are in the habit of responding
quickly, as a general rule, although
all do not “get there” altogether all
the time but that time they were
there in a bunch & fought valiantly
as they are ever able and willing to
do.
