THIs mewbekki tsxn< PAGE FIVE TO THE VOTERS OF SOUTH CAROLINA Will you give me your attention please While I mention the name of Eugene S. Blease. As you know he needs no introduction, But we need him during this war of destruction. Think of our boys’ lives at stake, And what a difference it will make To have a man who can fill the place. Not thinking of himself or the race. We want one who has our interests at heart And one who will always do his part. Just let him know you trust him And he will work with a vim Trying to do all he can To help his country and his fellow-man. Think of the good he has done And of the races he has won. He always makes a brave fight, And^ries to do what he thinks is right. He picks out the good and discards the bad, Which will make things better than we have had. Let me ask that you remember please To cast your vote for Eugene S. Blease. Ladies and Gentlemen: I am no poet, What I have written I want you to know it. Remember these words during the campaign, And on election day read them again. • —Contributed CLAIMS PERFFCTION OF MOTOR FUEL THAT’S ONE-HALF WATER By ETHEL L. COUNTS The Home Demonstration club members have shown their loyalty to the boys in camp by the wonderful way in which they have responded to the call for help in furnishing the Newberry county day room at Fort Jackson. Enough money has been raised to buy the combination radio and prio- nograph and some records for the phonograph. Other funds will be used for chairs or whatever the com mittee considers the most outstand ing need. All gifts are to be sent to Mr. J. C. Neville by the first of this week so that the committee will know exactly what is on hand. It is hoped that the room can be furnished by the middle of the week. MEAT Keep ram meat, poultry, and fish in the coldest part of your refrigator or your coldest storage place. A tem perature of 45 degrees Farenheit or lower is needed. If your coldest storage space isn’t this cold, buy meat the same day you use it, and keep it as cool as possible up to the time you cook it. Be doubly careful of ground raw meat. It spoils more quickly than meat in one piece. Keep it extra cold, and use it extra quick- ly. When you bring meat home from the store, take off the wrapping pa per. Store it loosely covered with wax paper. Wash poultry thoroughly—inside and out. Pat it dry. Store it wrap ped or covered loosely until time to cook it. Then, if you don’t plan to eat it right away, chill it quickly and keep it chilled until serving time. As for fish, that spoils at only a few hours of room temperature. Cook it at once or wrap it in wax paper to keep the fish cdor out of other food, and store it in a very cold place. Cover cooked meats before you put them away. Cut or chop meat just before you plan to setve it. Meat that has been cut or chopped spoils more quickly than cooked meat in one piece. Make up meat sandwiches and meat salads only shortly before you intend to serve them. Keep them cold until serving time. EGGS Eggs can lose a lot of their fresh ness after a few hours in a warm room. Keep them in your coldest storage space. Take out as many as you want at one time—but keep the main supply in the icebox, refri gerator, or other cold place. Best storage containers for them are open bowls or wire baskets. Never wash eggs before you store them, or you jwa^h'off the protective “bloom” or j film that keeps out air and odors. If eggs are soiled, wipe them with a dry, rough cloth. MILK-AND-EGG DISHES The combination of milk and eggs is a summertime favorite—-and one of the quickest to spoil . It is best to make up custards, cream pies,pud dings, cream puffs not long ahead of time. Put them in the refrigerator immediately after they are prepared, and keep them there until serving time. In the same class of easy-to-spoil foods are homemade salad dressings made with egg, egg sandwiches, devilled eggs. GRAPEFRUIT CANNERIES GO ON THRE SHIFTS Salt River Valley, Arizona, grape fruit juice canneries are workfng three shifts, trying to get as milch fruit as possible into tin before sum mer’s heat robs the juice of its fla vor. Indications are that they will put up over 600,000 cases before the end of July, by which time the wea ther will certainly put a period to operations. They are allotted cans for 125 per cent of their 1940-41 pack, which comes to 404,000 cases. In addition the U. S. army is taking all the juice the canneries can supply, and that business is expected to reach 200,000 cases. New Orleans, July 2—A new mo tor fuel that’s half water was the claim tonight of a retired real es tate operator and amateur chemist who hopes to eliminate gasoline shortages at home and help Uncle Sam win battles abroad. “Hydrolene” is what Louis A Block, 59, calls his new liquid. “It’s 50 per cent water,” he said and smiled. The other 50 per cent? That’s Block’s secret. He won’t tell anyone but scientists of the bureau of standards in Washington on his ex pected visit there in the next week or two. It’s a new specie of hydro car bon,’’ the elderly kitchen-chemist said. )0 But that covers a multitude of things. Gasoline, for instance, is a hydro carbon. ‘It’s so simple and so different that the scientists won’t believe it when I tell them how to make it,” Block said. “They’ll just have to try and test it themselves.’ The demonstration was arranged by the Young Men’s Business club after one of its memibers learned of the irtventor’s claims a few weeks ago: If the liquid is what Block says it is and will do what he claims it will, the club wants to help him get it into government hands. The demonstrations were simple. A small bit of standard gasoline was poured into a small tin lid, a match touched to it and the result ant flame. A small bit of hydrolene was poured into a similar lid, a match touched to it, and there was no flame. There has to be a “flash” ingredi ent added. For the demonstration today gasoline was added—three parts hydrolene and one part gaso line. The “flash” could be alcohol or some other inflammable sub stance, Block said, but the propor tions would vary with the inflam mability. In a measured gallon container went three quarts of hydrolene and one quart of gasoline. A gravity feed line ran to the carburetor. With motorcycle police clearing the way, the automobile was run up and down the airline highway until the fuel was used. One gallon mixture, 23.7 miles. On a gallon of the same gasoline used to mix with the hydrolene the car ran 22.8 miles over the same course. Previous private tests made by members of a special committee from the Y. M. B. C. showed in creases of two to more than five miles for the same three-to-one mixture over standard gasoline, they reported. PROUD OF SON WHO SERVED WITH LIEUT.

C.t—With 29 cows and heifers selling for a $246 aver age and 11 bulls bringing $200 each, the sale of purebred Shorthorns here Jun e 30 was, in the words of its manager, R. C. Forbes, “clear evid ence that people of the Southeast want profitable roughage-consuming beef cattle and will pay remunerative prices for good Shorthorns.” The sale attracted over 1,000 per sons from Maryland, South Carolina, and North Carolina. It was signifi cant because it was the first consign ment seale of Midwest Shorthorn? ever held in North Carolina and the $246 average was the highest yet realized in an event of this kind. Sponsored by the American Short horn Breeders’ association, the sale included both horned and polled ani mals. The North Carolina Exten sion service also cooperated in th{ event. The top price was $350, paid by P. T. McCants, Orangeburg, S. C. for a roah cow, with heifer calf at foot, from Lynnwood Farm, Carmel, Ipd., nationally known Polled Shorthorn firm. Mr. McCants also purchased a polled heifer at $275 from Lewis Thieman, Concordia, Mo., and anoth er at $240 from R. W. Bame, Cincin nati, Ohio. Runner-up was the red show heif er, Radiant Marjory, also a polled Shorthorn from the herd of C. B. Teegardin & Sons, Asheville, Ohio. At $330 she went to S. C. Anderson, Barnardsville, N. C., along with fpur other good foundation animals. Top among the bulls was the roan, 14-month old homed entry, Lakeside Guard, consigned by Ben W. Lake, Athens, 111., and sold to Dr. H. A Moss, Asheville, for $300. James D. Brown, in the meats bu siness at Ellicott City, Md., took 9 head totaling $2,110 and was the most extensive buyer of the sale. Other prominent purchasers were J M. Little of Union, S. C., who bought four, and Glenn Boyd of Waynes- ville, N. C., who obtained three. We are giving July 4th, another one of those barbecues.

Adams Camp, Lake Murrax- FQRyiCTOKY BUY UNITED STATES WAR BONDS AND STAMPS Washington, July 4.—Lieutenant John D. Bulkeley, the motor torpedo boat terror of the Philippines, has assured the father of one of his mis sing crew members that his son was a “damn good sailor—in all respects.’ The navy revealed this today, making public a sequence of corres pondence between the bluejacket’s father, John L. Houlihan, station No. 66, fire department, Chicopee Falls, Mass., and Bulkeley. Houlihan, on May 14, wrote this letter to Bulkeley: “Hope you won’t think it bold of me for writing to you. “Lieutenant. I have reasons to be lieve my son has been with you. And I hope he has been a good saibir. His name is John L. Houlihan, Jr., rate second class torpedoman, MPT Squadron B. “Would you please for God’s sake tell me if he is as good a sailor as ! think and if he is OK. I am his father and I hope you will answer this letter. His mother and I are dying to know if he is receiving our mail and know if he is well.” Before Bulkeley’s reply arrived, however, the navy had notified Houli han that his son, who had been pro moted to torpedoman first class for meritorious conduct, was missing- He was on Corregidor when the fort ress fell and was presumed to be a prisoner of war. Bulkeley wrote that young Houli han accompanied him in a PT boat attack on two enemy landing barges in February and fought under fire “in a clam and cool manner.” Later, in taking President Manuel Quezon of the Philippines to safety aboard one of the “mosquito” boats, Bulkeley wrote, “Houlihan disting uished himself by his calm and cool manner in face of danger by releas ing a torpedo which has a ‘hot run’”. “This was done at great personal danger to himself”, Bulkeley added. “For this he was given the Philippine distinguished conduct star. He also won the s'lver star for galantry. Houlihan is a damn good sailor—in all respects.” Acknowledging Bulkeley’s letter, the father said he was “’happy and proud that I had a son to have been with you.” “To know he was a fine sailor, and from a man that really knows a sailor, I am holding my head high— I only wish I had five more sons like him to bear the arms and carry on where he left off. I have two more. Who knows but they may?” YARD CAN USE BOYS OF If Charleston, July 9— Charleston Navy Yard labor board today called for the registration of boys and men between 16 and 22 to fill vacancies as l-apprentices in mechanical trades,at ; the Yard. Persons interested in the proposal | are advised that application forms 1 may be obtained from the secretary ; of the board of U. S. Civil Service examiners at any first or second class post office. A Navy Yard labor board spokes man urged immediate action by in dividuals desiring to learn a mechan ical trade, pointing out that “pros pects for employment in the near future are favorable.” A mechanical apprentice’s pay is $4 a day based on a 40-hour week and time and half-time for the 41st and each additional hour. Because of the demand for quali fied .persons, applications will be ac cepted continuously until further no tice.

Treasury Department Jerusalem, July 2—Holy Land Jews, many of them refugees from Germany & German-conquered lands, are grimly resolved to stay and fight for their homes if the Axis legions smashing into Egypt, only 700 miles away, reach here. Leading members of the Jewish agency and other large Jewish or ganizations said today they realize but have no intention of trying to withdraw to safety. They will re main, they added, not as passive on lookers but as militant defenders. The crisis in Egyrpt has spurred more men than ever to join the armed forces. Young men gradua ting from high schools this summer have signed up for a year of na tional service, which means either joining the auxiliary police or till ing the soil. Young girls similarly are engaged in the war efforts. Especially the urban communities are taking the war far more seri ously than at any time since Italy’s entrance in 1940 made them realize that Palestine might become a bat tleground. Men and v/omen in towns and vil lages proceed with their daily tasks with little visible evidence that they know the titanic struggle on the Egyptian desert may affect the whole tenor of their lives. WILLIAM M. M’KISSICK William M. McKissick, 47, World war veteran, died Saturday morning at the Veteran’s hospital in Colum bia, where he had been a patient for almost a year. Mr. McKissick was born and rear ed in Pickens county, the son of the late Rev. E. M. McKissick and Mrs. Hester Porter McKissick. At the entry of this country into the world war he entered and served the en tire period and while a soldier in France was in every drive against the Germans with the exception of one. Returning from the war, Mr. McKissick became connected with the Nationa IBiscuit company as a salesman in this territory for 13 years and following this tenure was a merchant, and also was engaged in the insurance business. Mr. McKissick was married to Miss Eva Mae Scott of Abbeville, who, with four children survive. The children are William M., jr., Charles R., Mary Frances and Martha Hes ter; one brother, Henry McKissick of Kingstree and the following sis ters also survive: Mrs. R. O. Beatty, Cades; Mrs. Mattie Heanes and Mrs. Richard Knight, both of Summer ville. Funeral services were held Sun day afternoon at 4 o’clock at the residence on Hunt street, conducted by the Rev. H. O. Chambers. Inter ment was in Rosemont cemetery. Newberry married men and those with other dependents who are regis tered for military service, face in duction into the army in the near future as the result of an order re reived by county draft boards. This order called on the local boards to segregate registrants into four broad categories from which men will be called for examination. These categories are: 1) ) Registrants otherwise quali fied for military service who have no bona fide financial dependents. 2) Registrants who have financial dependants other than wives a’hd children. 3) Registrants who have wives with whom they are maintaining a bona fide family relationship and who were married prior to Decem ber 8, 1941. 4) Registrants who have wives and children, or children alone, with whom they maintain a bona fide re lationship, who were married prior to December 8, 1941. The setting of the four broad cat egories does not provide for perma nent deferment of men with depend ents, but rather provide the order in which registrants with dependants will be inducted. Local boads will continue to review the facts in the case of each individ ual, according to national headquar ters, which adds that in the selec tion of registrants for induction from any of the four categories “full facts in each individual case shall be considered, and the local board must decide whether or not there are suf ficient unusual circumstances to jus tify a departure from the general rule of priority of induction.” Concerning the proposed setting up of categories, national headquar ters, in a telegram said: “It is the expressed purpose of congress that registrants who are otherwise qualified for military ser vice be divided into categories on the basis of family relations and de pendents, and that the registrants in the several categories be arranged in the order in which R is advisable to select them for induction ,and all registrants in each category be se lected for induction before any reg istrant in the succeeding category is selected for induction.” Stressing that it will be necessary to work out detailed categories to give complete effect to the intent of congress, the telegram states that until this work can be completed, and in order to give immediate ef fect to the general intent of con gress, registrants should be selected for induction according to the four categories is outlined. HOSPITAL DONATIONS RECRUIT, 50, IN MARINES TO FIGHT Paris Island—Paul H. Douglas, probably the oldest marine regularly enlisted since December 7, now is stationed at the recruit training cen ter at Parris Island, pending early transfer. The fifty-year-old husband and father has been professor of eco nomics at the University of Chicago, crusading fifth ward alderman in Chicago, and unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic nomination for United States senator. He applied for enlistment in May. Because of his age, which is twen ty years over the marine standards for general service, he had to receive a special waiver of the commandant of the marine corps, for his applica tion to be accepted. Passing his phy sical examination without a hitch, he was declared “fit for duty on the sea or in the field.” He is over six feet tall, well brown ed, and wears glasses. When notified of his acceptance in the marines, Douglas said, “I didn’t want a desk job; I wanted action. As a private in the marines, I should get it.” And he is getting it—already. He admits that he found the train ing quite strenous for the first two weeks, but he doesn’t regret his de cision to join the marines. Neither do his much younger platoon mates. They speak highly of him, and he’ of them. He says the marine corps has a great spirit de corps and is a fine outfit. His hope now is ’ to qualify on the rifle range. PANAMA CALL RESERVED FOR WHOLE WEEK The Newberry county hospital ac- knowldges with thanks receipt of the following donations: New Hope Zion club, Mrs. J. B. Kinard, president, one bushel Irish ■potatoes, 25 pounds of cabbage, 10 pounds of squash. Mr. George W. Summer, one half bushel of peaches. Miss Grace Summer, flowers sev eral times. Mrs. E. S.

Charleston, visited relatives in Newberry over the weekend. Mullins—When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, he did not know what a great boon it would be to war mothers of 1942, but Mrs. H. Stacy Smith, of Mullins, can tes tify as to its marvelous powers. She called her son, Lieutenant Nathaniel Elmore (Nat) Smith last Sunday evening at Fort Clayton, Panama Canal Zone, where he has been sta tioned since December 8. The call was put through almost immediately, because Mrs. Smith had reserved it a week ahead of time. This is one of the stipulations the the government makes, and the only inconvenience the caller experiences is having to wait his turn and be notified as to when he may make his call. Mrs. Smith had written Lieuten ant Smith that she would call him at 6 o’clock Sunday evening, and he was ready and waiting to receive it at ap proximately 6 o’clock in the after noon at Fort Clayton. Mrs. Smith’s conversation lasted only three minutes, although the government puts no restriction on the time limit providing the caller doesn’t mind “footing the bill.” Two other members of the family, H. Stacy Smith, the officer’s father, and Dr. Robert Cathcart Smith, brother of Lieutenant Smith, and a friend William Smith, of Marion, also join ed in to say hello to him. Due to a government regulation which makes military secrets and the weather taboo, the conversation was impersonal enough to warrant offi cial approval. Lieutenant Smith remarked that he was getting plenty of good food; that he had been fortunate in being able to get in some golfing, and that since the call was so satisfactory, he was going to call his wife on their anniversary. . Mrs. Smith is the former Miss Grace Stewart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Stewart, of Abbeville. Miss Nell Davis, of Greenville, spent the week-end with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H.
