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.

That’* championship production! 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.

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

FAMILY SLEEPS ON DESPITE
LIGHTNING
Orange (Va.) 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 following morning the
lad awoke and found his bed covered
with plaster and fallen debris. Smell
ing smoke he found three hats smoul
dering in a closet in the room.
Mr. and Mrs. George W. Martin,
Mrs. Oscar Wood and 'Mrs. George

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. Be-’enbaugh read
the service honor roll, revealing that
34 pupils of Bush River are now in
the service of their country. Rev. C.
J. Matthews offered prayer in their
'behalf. . .
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
