JUDGE BLEASE’S CANDIDACY Nothing this newspaper could say would enhance the chances of Judge Blease being elected to the United States senate for Newberry county will vote, and vote enthusiastically for its favorite son. Newberrians are going to vote for him because they know ihim; they know of his deep love for the people and institu tions of Nerwberry; they know that while he has walked in high places he has never lost the common touch; they know that he is kind, generous and sympathetic toward all classes of people. Newberry is proud that Judge Blease is in the senate race; proud that Newberry is the home of one brave enough to face the trickery pf professional politicians and the drudgery of a speaking campaign in order to be of service to his nation. Judge Blease belongs bo the old school of level headed men who see only ruination in any system where half the populace work to support the other half. He is a man who cherishes the principles upon which this great nation was built, and would perpetuate them for the gen erations to come. Judge Blease has been described as “the brains of Bleasisim” and while that may imply political acu men, the true import of the phrase is that he is one of the best informed men the State has ever produced.. When the history of supreme court justices is written Eugene S. Blease will rank with the greatest who ever held that office. It was during his tenure as head of the high court that the work was brought to current status for the first time in the mem ory of living .men, and many of his opinions has * already taken their place alongside those of great law yers of all time. Mr. Blease is sacrificing much to make the race for senate and no one who knows him doubts but that his impelling motive is to be of service at a time when the very life of the nation is at stake.

The idea of easing labor by work ing to music can be traced back thou sands of years. Ancient Greeks had i special work songs for harvesting, threshing, grinding grain, spinning and weaving. Now music is being used in mod pm war factories to relieve fatigue, break monotony or work and improve morale of employees. Above the hum of machinery loud speakers are play ing; thousands of workers are at>l« to work better and more easily be cause of the rythm. The employees of an airplane man ufacturing plant have recently start ed to work to the tune of recorded music, played during three 15-minute periods of each 8-hour shift. The music is heard over the plant’s pub lic-address system. Martial airs and "Turkey in the Straw” are favorites. In very noisy factories music is used to bring relief from the din. At one New England plant all ma chines are stilled every moning at 10, and in the afternonn at 3, while while the employees listen to phono graph music. The periods are plan ned to counteract the fatigue curve and are found to be much more effec tive than casual rest. Officials state that the loss of 108 minutes a week 'is more than offset by increased pro duction and reduced imperfect work' One company installed a radio speaker system throughout its plant. The idea was to broadcast current events and phonograph recordings during lunch hours, and to give the night shift a chance to listen in on radio 'programs during their half- hour of lunch. Finally one of the shop workers suggested that the hoys with talent put on a program instead of the usu al “canned music”. The show was so popular and so much talent was un covered that shop talent radio pro grams are now a feature of the lunch period. The programs, it is said, promote good will, help workers take their minds off their jobs during lunch hour and do ibetter work when they get back on the job. TO VISIT RELATIVES IN N. V. CARPENTER’S Miss Mary Ann Davis left Wednes day for New York city where she will spend ten days with her three uncles and their families, Frank and Pete Davis and Claude Greneker, af ter which she will go on to Narrows Burrough, N.

And apeaking of champions, it’s important to remember that the beer industry has broken all records in its tax contribu tions to the South Carolina Treasury since 1933. I Just look at the figures! While other sources of revenue fluctuated* — here is how beer tax income has increased: 1933 $150,220 1934 270,294 1935 350,000 1936 569,164 1937 620,673 1938 622,146 1939 832,857 1940 1,125,800 1941 1,668,000 The brewing industry wants to preserve the important benefits of legal beer for South Carolina, and is co-operating to keep the sale of beer as wholesome as beer itself. YOU CAN HELP BY patronizing only legally licensed and reputable placea selling beer—by far the great majority. Others should be reported to responsi ble authorities. V' * South Carolina’s Tax Commission expects receipts from soft drink and gasoline taxes to drop more than $1,800,000 in 19421 SOUTH CAROLINA V BEER WHOLESALERS ASSOCIATION / OUR SECRET WEAPON All have heard a lot about secret weapons in this war. When the fight ing started with the attack on Poland, no one knew just what to expect. S'.range tanks, guns, planes—many people believed that these and more suddenly might be produced. When nothing like that happened, people said it was foreign propaganda or fiction. It was both. Now comes the word that America has an important secret wea;>on of its own. At least, that is whr.t a member of the War Production Board said in a speech the other day. That weapon is America’s world-famous inventive genius. And to date in Hiis war it 'has produced not one secret weapon, but many. The mysterious American . . . bomb site, more accurate than any in the world, improvements in Ameri can airplanes that enable them to climb higher than ever before, .the Garand rifle that fires three times as fast as the army’s old Springfield—- these and many more have been de veloped. And, through the genius of American mass production methods, they’re being turned out now in ever- increasing quantities to arm the fighting forces of freedom. RUBBER OUTLOOK Whenever a government expert on materials testifies before a committee of congress he is eagerly asked about the chance of relief from the rubber shortage. No light looms on the horizon. Yet frantic efforts are being made in many places by many people to do something about it. Tire makers talk of plans for tires without rubber, while car makers speak of tires with small amount of the rubber usually used. Inventors are frequently heard from who are about to spring some thing. Wadaw Szukiewicz, a Polish chemist, claimed to have a way 'bf making rubber from alcohol which would cost less than a sixth as much as the government is spending for rubber, and would take less than half the time. A West Virginia dentist turned up in Washington with another substi tute, and was given a chance to dem. onstrate. In the meantime, guayule plant ing goes on in California, where Jap aliens interned at reception centers are tending the rubber-yielding plants. -x BLACKWELL PRESIDENT CLUB At the meeting of the Board of Directors today, Gordon D.

Review: Whit; Mr. and Mrs. McKinley Sales slept peace fully one night recently a bolt ’ of lightning struck their home and broke three window frames and glass at the front, split a hole in the weatherboarding, knocked foun dation blocks from under the house, burned wire and hinges from a screen door and finally ran off into the ground by cutting a furrow to a fence post in the yard. The Sales (are declared to have slept all through the barrage with their 10-year-old boy, undisturbed. They awoke next morning to find their home almost falling in oyer their heads. [ The bolt struck about 11:30 p.’m. Mr. and Mrs. Sales were asleep in an upstairs room, their son in an adjoin ing room.

The Navy also has a lighter Bomber called the Scout Bomber which costs about $143,000 apiece. The battle for Britain was almost lost because England had none of these giant four-metored planes with which to fight back.

Counts The following clubs have finished first aid classes: Silveratreet, taught by Mrs. Keith Aull; Tranwood and Long Lane, taught by Miss Margaret Shaack. St. Philips, Pomaria, and New Hope Zion have had classes in home nursing, taught by Miss Ther esa Lightsey. Mt. Bethel-Garmany club will be gin a nutrition class to be taught by the Home Demonstration agent. Any other clubs desiring classes should make their requests now. , Years of investigation show that the average American diet does not contain enough vitamin A, vitamin Bl, vitamin C and calcium. Transla ted into every day terms this means that most people do not get enough milk vegetables, fruits and egg%,— the so-called protective foods. But vitamins will vanish if you do not store and cook your foods prop erly. Some vitamins are destroyed by heat, others by drying and stale ness. Nature is lavish with her gift of vitamins. The trouble is we waste them. They actually disappear. ” It is easy to destroy from 50 to 90 per cent of the vitamin content in food through improper home storage and cooking. For instance, experi ments show that lettuce may lose 40 per cent of its vitamin C in one day standing at room temperature. Cabbage cooked the way the aver age home maker prepares it loses 69 per cent of its vitamin C,' 72 per cent of its calcium and about 50 per cent of its other minerals. This can be prevented by using shorter cook ing time, using little or no water, starting fast, and by baking vege tables in their skins. “Enriched’’ bread, containing the most needed nutrients of whole wheat, is endorsed by the highest government authorities. “Enriched” white bread has almost the same nu tritive value as whole wheat bread, because the principal nutrients lost in refining have been put back. “En riched white flour is likewise vastly more nutritious than ordinary white flour. More than one-third of all the white bread and white flour In America is now “enriched.” What we need is bo have it all en riched. Then everybody will be bet ter fed even if they don’t ask for en riched, or whole wheat products. It costs more to make enriched flour and bread, so the millers and bakers will not keep on with it unless people keep asking for the new pro ducts. There is no law to require producers to enrich their products. Nobody has a right under Federal law to sell enriched bread without labeling it “enriched.” Nobody has a legal right to label bread “enrich ed” if it is not enriched. The word “enriched’’ was chosen for this pur pose by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration in Washington. It does not mean richer flavored, or fattening. It is not an advertising stunt. It is your patriotic duty When you buy white bread or flour to insist that it is enriched. “Enriched” bread and flour will quickly help to make us a nation of better workers and better fighters’ if we all get it. Science has proved it. Have you included a cane or sorg hum patch in your planting program? We will be needing these sweets. 34 BUSH RIVER GRADS IN THE SERVICE The commencement exercises of Bush River school began Sunday, May 17, with the commencement sermon which was preached by Rev. George E. Meetze, pastor of Grace Lutheran church, Prosperity. Rev. Mettze is a forceful speaker and his message made a lasting impress ion. The senior class rendered its class day exercises Monday evening May 18. The graduating exercises took place Tuesday evening May 19. Josie Nabors was salutatorian and Margaret Oxner delivered the vale dictory. Rev. B. S. Hodges of Union made the address. The message of Rev. Hodges was timely and inspir ing. Supt. J. H.

Jack Matthews won first prize in the senior bible class and Margaret Oxner came second. Anna Belle Moates was the winner of the prize Enemy propagandists jumped into American politics recently by playjng the role of volunteer campaign ora tors. They took to the air in antici pation of the coming primary elec tions. Lord Haw Haw (Fred W. Katten- bach) for instance, broadcasting from Berlin said: “Unfortunately for the ■people of the United States, they may express their dissatisfaction of Roosevelt and with the war at the coming elections in November, but they can’t get rid of the man who is chiefly responsible for getting into this mess.” The nazis also beamed a new pro gram at the United States from their socalled “American Freedom” station, with one “Joe Scanlon” claim ing to be an American, as the speak er. He exhorted: “Join us in our endeavor to save our boys from for eign battlefields. You can compel the government to act. The elections ar“ coming again and our people will have a last opportunity to reassert themselves. Organize as free Ameri cans to fight the dictatorship being set up in Washington. The only real enemies sit right within the ranks of our government today.’’ In another short wave broadcast from Berlin, we are told, “Now the Americans should take advantage of the coming November election and elect those who opposed Roosevelt’s murderous war 'policy.” “President Roosevelt is getting nervous,’’ said a radiocaster from Tokyo, speaking in Spanish. “Like wise the Republican party, which supported isolation is showing a stronger attitude supported by ex partisans of Roosevelt,” he said. A Rome propagandist asserted “Mr. Roosevelt would like to please his rich friends by forcing a 48-hour week, but he is afraid of losing the votes of the masses, amounting to 15 million in the coming elections.” MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES Flags were placed on 57 graves of World War veterans in Rosemont cemetery Sunday. Flags were also placed on an equal number of vet eran’s graves in cemeteries thruout the county.
