PAGE EIGHT THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1942 Society and CLUB NOTES IS THIS YOU? George Rodelsperger and George Halfacre were the two persons de scribed in the Sun last week. This week our first description is of a lady seen in a department store Saturday morning looking at some belts, and remarked to the clerk that she came in to rest a little while. She was wearing a blue hat, blue coat, and blue dress with figure searf around her neck, and black suede shoes. This lady teaches in the City High school. The second description is of a gen tleman who works in a store on Main street. He was seen Saturday morn ing writing out a receipt for some one. He was dressed in a green coat, light tan trousers, white shirt and a red tie. He has dark hair and blue or grey eyes. Every time your scribe asks him where she can find his boss, he says, “He broke his leg and I had to shoot him.” If either of the above descriptions could be you, come by the Sun office and receive your ticket which entitles you to a quart of delicious ice cream from Stokes’ Drug Store, compli ments of Stokes’ and the Sun.

Admission 9c- 20c CARPENTER’S WINDOWS When down the street, and it will pay you to make a special trip, pause and reflect before Carpenter’s win dow. See the picture of the flower of manhood of Newberry—your and my representative on the front, be it Africa, Australia, Ireland, the Philli- pines Chna or on the high seas. These men in the prime of manhood, who unhesitatingly have answered the call to duty, left their loved ones, homes of comfort, positins with much larger pay, sacrificed everything and are now offering themselves a living sacrfice that we may continue to en joy the right of freedom of worship, of work, and the pursuit of happiness. They have given and are continuing to give, their all—not in the midst of the comforts of home, not for just a few hours a day, not at their pleas ure, not just as little as they can without inconveniencing themselves. With these thoughts in mind, with the services they are rendering, what do the words “War Bonds and Stamps,” “War Relief Drive” mean to each of us here at home ? They rep- rsent our apprecation. They represent our service. Is our service like into theirs ? The people of Newberry have an swered all calls made on them, over subscribing very quota. Now in the combined War Relief Drive, let’s go over the top again! If you look at the boys pictures in Carpenter’s win dow, you can see where our War Re lief Drive money is going. A good bit of this money will go to establish ing and maintaining U. S. O. units into which these, our boys, may go and relax and be entertained, and re ceive just a little bit of home. Com- mittes have been appointed and will be out this week soliciting for funds for the War Relief Drive. Let’s greet them with a smile and give cheerfully and freely. The residential section is not be ing canvassed. Residents desiring to make a contribution may hand it to Mrs. John Norirs at the S. C. Na tional Bank, or leave it at the Cham ber of Commerce. All committees are asked to complete their campagn and to make their report by the end of this week. We feel that we will be ungrateful if we close this notice without ex pressing our appreciation and thanks to Mr. E. A. Carpenter for the mag nificent spirit he has shown and the example he has set in this service to others. L. C. Graham, Secretary. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Williams, Mrs. J. H.
