MOTHERS SHOULD HAVE CHIL DREN UPON WHICH TO BESTOW THEIR LOVE The Reverened Robert P. Turner, pastor of the Holly Hill Methodist church, delivered himself of the fol lowing very sensible words in his Mother’s day sermon last Sunday: “Motherhood is both a privilege and a duty. The divine purpose of marriage is to bear children. The greatest privilege of a husband is to be ai father and the noblest privilege of a wife is to be a mother. There are many women today who think of motherhood as a kind of prison, and shrink from it. It is a shame and a sin for a wife who is fitted physically mentally and morally for mother hood to seek to avoid it and to lavish her love on poodle dogs and cats when God intended it should be lav ished upon a baby. “Every true mother’s work is a task. One that requires sacrifice and suffering, and self-denial. A true mother does not strive to become the leading butterfly in the social circles, she does not turn her child over to some maid and go out for the freedom she once enjoyed. She realizes that God has put her baby into her arms as a sacred trust, and from that trust He expects a proper accounting. How can a mother ever forgive herself if she is unfaithful to this trust? Millions of faithful mothers live and die unsung, save by a few who know and love them best. “Our civilization today is what the home life of yesterday made it; and if we are to have a better and finer type of civilization tomorrow, the home life of today will make it. The source of cur nation’s strength is in the home life, and its ideals and standards are no worse nor better than those of the home. God has placed grave responsibilities upon you mothers, but we know you will not disappoint Him.’ WATER FOR THAT VICTORY GARDEN Clemson, May 9—The best assur ance for a successful Victory Garden is watering it when necessary by one of the various methods, C. V. Phagan, agricultural engineer of the Clemson Extension Service said today, an nouncing Agricultural Engineering Leaflet 53, titled “Water Your Vic tory Garden.” “It doesn’t matter how good the soil, or seed, or fertilizer, nor how well the vegetables are cultivated, pruned, and sprayed, if it doesn’t rain at the right time, production falls off or there is a complete fail ure,”’ Phagan said. “Yet thousands of farm families in South Carolina can have better year-round gardens by utilizing water from wells, springs, and streams for watering during dry spells.” Leaflet 53, which may be had free from the Extension Service at Clem son, explains and illustrates by draw ings how irrigation may be had with water from wells, springs, and streams at minimum trouble and cost. Garden irrigation is a form of in tensive care and attention to a small area that will give greater returns on labor than less intensive care on a much larger area, Phagan points out. POOL OPENS FRIDAY Margaret Runter park swimming pool will be opened to the public for the season beginning Friday morn ing. The services of Prof. Harry Hedgepath have been secured for its management this year. ATTEND COLUMBIA MEET Cliff C. Graham, Don Rook, Jim Johnson, G| D. Blackwell and Edgar Paysinger attended a meeting in Columbia last Friday which had as its object the outlining to merchants of the new price control act. Pay of Army Privates May Be $50 Monthly Washington, May 12.—A big raise for buck privates and apprentice sea men to bring their pay to $50 a month was voted tentatively by the House today but final passage of the measure increasing the pay of the Ighting forces was put off until tomorrow. As passed by the senate, the bill would have raised the pay of priv ates and apprentice seamen to $42 a month, but the house adopted 102 to 40, an amendment by Representa tive Rankin (D-Miss) boosting this figure by $8. The amendment also provided that first class privates and second class seamen should receive $54 a month, $6 more than the sen ate version. Buck privates now receive $21 a month to start, $30 after four months and $40 after their first year; ap prentice seamen get $30. The pres ent base pay of first class privates and second class seamen is $36. While the house changes are sub ject to the roll call vote tomorrow, members of the military committee indicated they would not seek one on the theory that the members would not record themselves as op posed to the increase. They express ed confidence they could restore the senate figures later when the bill goes to conference. What Is It? For some time now you have been asked through “teaser” lines in the local press: “What Is Your Pet Peeve” and you have wondered what it is all about. It is nothing more sinster than an attempt of the local Jaycees to be of service to the city. Within the next few days the junior chamber will mail out cards upon which you will be asked to register your pet “peeve”. When you get your card just let your hair down, roll up your sleeves and let go. Maybe you don’t like the way certain people are speeding about the city streets, or, it may be that you object to young men going about halfnaked in the summer months, or it may be one of a hundred qther things. Just pour out that pent-up peeve on the post card you will soon receive and mail it back to the Jaycees. They, in turn, will pass it along to city coun cil for action—if action is needful or desirable, their sagatious honors being sole judges with authority to act. Of course what the junior chamber wants might be termed “construc tive peeves,” some complaint, or kick or suggestion which, carried into practice would redound to the benefit of all Newberrians or a good ly portion thereof. Think back to the time you have chewed your tongue over something which rubbed you the wrong way— something amiss, be it social, civic or business—think hard and con structively, apd reduce your thoughts to a few pungent words on that post card. Some other towns have tried this “stunt” and found they received many splendid suggestions. You may have a suggestion, or “peeve” that is really meritorious. Put it on the card and mail it back as soon as you get it. It will be self-addressed with postage paid.

Seeks Aid In Enforcing States New Beer Law The assistance of all officers of South Carolina in enforcing the new beer and wine control law is being sobght by the state tax commission which* now has power to revoke or reject licenses. Pointing out that the commission’s small force of field agents could not possibly collect the needed evidence, the commission called on sheriffs and police chiefs to inform the commis sion of any law violations involving beer or wine outlets. “We have mailed sheriffs and chiefs of police copies of the act and some of them understand that we need their assistance. In fact most of the revocations effected so far* have some about as a result of evi dence presented to us by sheriffs. But some officers are waiting for us to come to them for evidence,” the announcement said. “The law charges ‘any local peace officer’ with the duty of ‘reporting immediately’ to the tax commission any violation of the law. If there is any doubt in any officer’s mind as to the type of evidence needed, we will be glad to inform him personally of our procedure.” The commission said that investi gations have showed that by far the large majority of retail outlets were operated legally and respectfully but that the commission was directing its efforts toward the law violators. “The commission wants to stamp out, as quickly as possible, the unde-- sirable element from the beer and wine business. We can accomplish this only with the active assistance of local officers in every county. We are getting fine cooperation from many of them and from the state constabulary but we want the others to know that they, too, have a respon sibility to keep us informed of condi tions.” The 1942 general assembly gave the commission power to reject or re voke licenses if unwholesome condi tions prevailed.

Local Law Officers Will (Set Vagrants The following letter has been re ceived by county and city police forces and both have indicated that they intend to‘ comply with the re quest and see that no vagrants are allowed in this county. The letter from the governor’s of fice follows: “At this time in South Carolina when there is such a strong demand for agricultural and industrial la bor of all kinds, I wish to ask that all law enforcement officers give careful consideration to a strict en forcement of the laws against vag rancy. Conatantly rumors reach the governor’s office to the effect that quite a number of people over the stat* are idle and will not accept work on the farms and in industrial enterprises. This should not be al lowed to exist any longer. At our statewide law enforcement conference I made the following statement concerning vagrancy: “We are being called upon by our nation to bring about 100 per cent production in all lines of activity, particularly in agriculture and in dustry. 100 per cent production can not be secured if any of our people are permitted to be idle. If ever there was an excuse for vagrancy this is not the time. We should ad opt the salutary rule that only those who work will be allowed, to eat. The necessities of the nation at this time call for everybody to be at work; it is our duty as law enforce ment officers to see that no able- bodied person is allowed to be idle.” I again bring this question to the attention of the peace officers and ask for a 100 per cent effort to see that all people of the state who are physically able are engaged in use ful activities for the promotion of the war effort by assisting in farm production, engaging in industrial enterprises, or otherwise. The “loaf er” has no right to exist in our so ciety today.” DRAFT BOARDS TO SEND ADDITIONAL MEN Early June calls on the local selec tive service boards are for only ten white registrants. Each of the county’s two boards send five men each on June 3 to Fort Jackson. Board 58 will inducted 30 negroes on June 29. To date these three calls are the only ones received for next month. Four of the five men from Board 58 to leave on the third are James Carroll Brennan of route one, New berry; Darrel Phillip Cook, new- berry; Olin Marcellus Watkins, Whit mire, and Ansel Gordon Bailey, of Whitmire Board 59 sends the following men: Leroy Weidman Moates of route 1, Kinards; Gilder Martin Neel, of route 3, Newberry; Leroy Elmer Long, Georgetown; Gilbert Holland Hentz, Pomaria; and Gilbert Feagle Miller of Little Mountain. Lt. John Mayes arrived Saturday to spend a few days with his mother Mrs. John B. Mayes, but received a telegram about five o’clock Saturday afternoon to report immediately to his station in Florida, for further orders. OLDEST NEGRO IS 112 Irvin Cannon, 112 years old, is be lieved to be the oldest resident in this section if not in the state to reg ister the past week for a sugar ra tioning book. Although not able to make the trip to the St. Philips school he was regisered by a relative.! Facts at local agencies bear out the statement as to the old darky’s age. Uncle Irvin is a famaliar character in the St. Philips section and around Pomaria where he has spent his long life. However due to his advanced age he has spent the last few years very quietly with relatives on the farm of A. C. Lominick in the St. Philips community. He was a slave on the farm of Ja- vas Lake who lived in the brick house on the olid Spartanburg-Columbia highway in stage coach days being located on Broad river near Hellers creek and quite a landmark in that day. He boasts the fact that he was large enough to pick one hundred pounds of cotton in a day before the first railroad was ever built in this section. Uncle Irvin is a striking figure of his race in this generation reminds one of Joel Chadler Harris’ Uncle Remus. He was always a good con versationalist and relates most in terestingly of his conversation to a better life and the revelation that was made to him upon his conversion that he would live far beyond the cen tury mark. He claims to remember his grandfather Peter and his grand father Jim. who came directly to this country from Africa after a six months voyage.
