“Styles of Today With a Touch of Tomorrow
Prowling? Dogs Is “Peeve” of Majority
The “Pet Peeve” of most New
berry people is dogs! Big dogs, lit
tle dogs; mangy, howling, snapping
dogs — garbage-robbing dogs, and
dogs that pick out your pet hydranga
to crook a leg over.
Judging from some of the answers
received from the Jaycees Pet Peeve
questionnaire certain citizens of our
fair city, and there are many of them,
are mad enough to fight somebody
about this dog business.
It has been apparent for some
time that city council has done abso
lutely nothing about stray dogs des
pite the peas of many citizens. There
is little incentive for housewives to
take ipride in their yards & gardens
if they can’t be protected from rov
ing dogs by the city fathers.
The second greatest “peeve” of
Newberry people comes from horn
blowing and parking autos; low
hanging limbs on the streets come
next, negroes crowding the streets
conies in as a strong “peeve” and
many thought the old Salter studio
building should be torn down.
It took two sheets of paper to re
cord the “peeve” of one gentleman
and we give it to you without the
name, along with a collection of mis
cellaneous “peeves’’ which we believe
you will find interesting and inform
ative:
(The question asked was: What Is
Your Pet Peeve and What Would
You Suggest to Correct it?)
“ T ain’t no griper” but you have
asked for my PET PEEVE, so here
goes:
Pet Peeve No. 1.—Getting fined for
overparking while working for Boy
Scouts and Red Cross. It is out of
a sense of loyalty to these worth
while organizations that I with sac
rifice gave my time to them, but to
get “soaked’’ with a “nasty” fine in
a “nasty” way for being loyal to
these fine organizations is right
“peeving.” To see “insult added to
injury,” the police force after fining
me for Red Cross parking not only
refused to give a “Red Brownie” to
Red Cross, but asked me to remove
the material from their office out of
their way. This is also ‘.peeving’ to
one’s sense of pride in trying to deal
with people in a “nice” way.
PS—(Note on "Peeve No.- 1 having
to do with the Boy Scout fine.) Af
ter being summoned to appear before
the police tribunal for overparking 2
minutes, I appeared “on the dot” at
the time summoned to appear, and
then sat 45 minutes parked OVER
TIME with the cops, having to listen
to stale jokes before I could get
them to consider my “case.” After
forcing the case on them, they glad
ly took the $3.00. Time might mean
something to a civic-good-cause-
worker whether to a police force or
not. No one can fine them for sit
ting 45 minutes overtime telling
stale jokes, consuming another man’s
time.
Pet Peeve No. 2.—Certain chain
stores in our eity enjoying the pat
ronage and suport of our “Friendly
Folks” and refusing to donate or
contribute to local enterprises such
as Red Cross and Scouts so patriot
ically supported by other citizens of
our city and county. While the ma
jority of the chain stores are loyal
and liberal, ohters are “dead” on us.
This ought to be a “peeve” that
should get consideration by our
chamber of commerce. (The writer
should separate these goats from the
sheep and give us the goat names
for publication.—Editor Sun.)
“I like your “fish” for Pet Peeves,
and wish you the very best of luck,
but dont get any of us in jail unless
you can go our bond.”
I SUGGEST: 1—Ur. Peeve No. 1—
That the “Free Parking” for medical
doctors be reinvestigated from the
standpoint of whether or not they
Homespun Shorts
Deanna Durbin, Universal Star,
matches the brilliant coloring of
this tropical garden with her gay
costume. The peon shorts are made
of natural cotton homespun, with
fringed edging. They are worn
with Mexican embroidered midriff
bodice of brilliant green crepe.
Wooden clogs, with nail-studded,
green kid tops complete her color
ful ensemble. •
are the only profession deserving
such privileges. Or certain consid
eration be given a few workers of
the city who are willing to get out
and “sweat” over these wprthy civic
causes only from a patriotic stand-
point and loyalty to them. Repeal
ed fines can mighty quickly “dull-ofr”
that loyalty and cooperation.
2—Cr. Peeve No. 2—That certain
firms be “dressed up” or “dresged
down” or “polished off” somewhat
about going the full course of co
operation with our city interests if
they are to continue to enjoy our
“Friendly Folk” and patronage.
Their evasive answer is “We contri
bute at headquarters.” Your cham
ber of commerce knows that does
not do Newberry and Newberry
county any good.”
Radios blaring day and night.
I think Newberry the most won
derful place in the world to live.
There is just not enough work to do.
All through the county ladies are
driving to Greenwood, Saluda and
other towns to work—some at night
and some in the day. Could we
have some such work in Newberry?
Think how it might help some boy
or girl to pay their way thru college.
This summer some young men are
having to leave home to find work,
even tho this may be their last va
cation with the home folks.
Friction in city government.
Suggests—Kicking out politicians
and electing men interested in the
welfare of the city.
I have no pet peeve, as I am
proud of our city and community.
However, there are many improve
ments we can make. I am proud of
the service that the Jaycees are ren
dering. Your work is being noticed
and I am sure it will do much to
make eyen a better city.
I would suggest: Several benches
being put at Whit’ service station
and like places for the benefit of the
soldier boys to sit on and rest while
waiting for a ride or lift from a
passing auto.
Make efforts to see that if nec
essary a law be passed and enforced
to prohibit boys from shooting air
rifles and 22 rifles on the streets.
This is very dangerous and also des
troys the birds. Provide a regular
target ground.
The lock-up (or whatever it is call
ed) on the lower floor of the old
Opera House building, where people
who have been arrested on minor
charges are placed until they are
tried. I saw it once, when I went
to try to get an old colored man out.
It is like the black hole of Calcutta,
and a disgrace to any civilized com
munity.
I would suggest: At public expense
have some place with light and air
and proper sanitation provided. The.
prisoner MAY be innocent. The place
they now have has no light or venti
lation at all except from what comes
through the grating and that opens
on a 1 hall.
To hear SLACKERS of World
War No. 1 making speeches and tell
ing how to win this one, when they
hid behind a woman’s skirt in 1917-
1918.
I would suggest: That you able-
bodied men go into the army or
the navy, and quit parading as pub
lic benefactors when you are really
dodging the draft. Abolish all belly
clubs and forbid speeches.
The continuous squawking of
chronic soreheads.
I would suggest: A get-together
and pull-together movement in this
hour of national peril.
Going out to the country club to
play golf on Sunday pm and unable
to find a caddy because the local po
lice have frightened all the caddies
away with threats, force, etc.
I would suggest: That this be tak
en up with mayor and city council
and steps taken to remedy the situa
tion.
The roughest driveway in town is
just behind my store and the store of
the mayor, H. S. Langford. We can
hardly drive over it. The street
force could fix this within a few
ho. 1 s, or perhaps less. They smooth
ed it over several years ago with, the
street scrape, and it helped so much.
Thank you for your efforts
My Pet Peeve is: Crookedness.
I would suggest: Have your offi
cers to keep on the alert and catch
up with some of it and stop it for
myself and kids’ sake. Worried.
A major problem existing is illeg--
itimate children by parents of in
ferior mentality. As these children
often become problems or public
charges. We need a State law re
quiring all mothers to be sterilized
when the second illegitimate child
is born and enforce the present law
that the proven fathe.- render sup
port to the children.
No recreation for the people of
Newberry. They all, or the majority
go out of town for all their enter
tainment other than picture shows.
I would suggest: An up-to-date,
swanky eating place and dancing
place and charge enough so that
the lower class of people will not
patronize it.
Something be done to stop large
boy s from destroying property at
Marion Davis playground.
That our city trustees are not
elected by popular vote, but by the
county board of which our Supt. is a
member.
I would suggest :That as this is
a democratic country we elect our
trustees by popular vote.
The town probably needs a ruling
whereby we can have six aldermen.
There are smaller towns that have
six aldermen. The mayor could
then untie ties, as would then have
seven votes.
First;—Let the town get busy
quick and lay down three or five
miles of sidewalk. That will largely
keep the children and bicycles out of
the street and ALSO make the town
look much better.
Second.—Two dollars is too much
to charge for leaving a car parked
One hour or in piaces, only half-hour.
ONE dollar would be a plenty.
Third.—BE a friend to man rather
than talk so much about it! I often
hear of how “hard” some of our
good people are to strangers, and I
have seen some evidence of it.
The flag isn’t up but about half of
the time on the square and NEVER
on Sunday. It should be there from
sunrise to sunset daily.
I would suggest: If the present
flag raiser wants to continue to raise
flags, let him leave it at the police
station Saturday night and whichev
er one of the boys i s on duty Sunday
morning can put it up. Same at sun
set. Or appoint someone who is up
town on Sundays.
My Pet Peeve is: The man who is
always saying it is time to go to
work—but won’t work himself. He
is willing for the other man to do it
though.
They are drones and should . be
treated as such.
That the fathers and mothers re
quire their children to return home
at an early hour instead of sitting
in parked automobiles on longly
country roads.
Newberry Water and Light Com
missioners need a regulation requir
ing tenants to put up a deposit in
stead of property owner having to
guarantee the last month’s bill. An
unused portion to be refunded when
last bill is paid. Most other towns
and cities of any size have this, and
some towns much smaller than New
berry.
People trying to bring the country
to town. Such as cows, and barns
in one’s front door, or back, doesn’t
matter. They are awfully smelly
during rainy weather regardless of
how clean.
own enough land so the barn or cow
I would suggest.- That those who
stall won’t be to nqar people’s homes
can keep a cow, otherwise there
should be a law against it. They
create flies regardless of how clean
the stall is kept.
Why In the Hell doesn’t the Mayor
and Aldermen require that all do
mestic servants have a health certi-
fificate before allowed to work in
your home. About 70 per cent have
contagiou's venereal diseases.
“Get some new industry.”
Morality first then good health.
Cleanliness is next to Godliness/’
We all must be peevish concerning
the poor cleanliness and insanitary
conditions within our city limits.
The lack of the enforcement of our
sanitation ordinances are extremely
prominent and pitiful. Our system
of looking after clean and healthful
conditions is almost a mockery and
indeed noticably outstanding.
(2) If you please the unneces
sary noises of automobiles, picolos,
licensing nuisances are bad and in-
jurius to the good health of. our
community. Investigate and listen,
isn’t it awful?
I would suggest: Get a well- paid
and competen” health officer and re
quire him to enforce the ordinances
to the letter. Get away from the
small town stuff and give the people
what they want, need and demand.
Pass ordinances to stop the noises
and nuisances. Enforce all ordinan
ces impartially and without discrim
ination. Get away from petty poli
tics and let’s be one for all and all
for one. Thanks.
The nesty habit of people com
ing to town on Saturday, leanjng
against the buildings and spitting
disgustingly all over the sidewalks,
I would suggest: Put spittoons
around and let the loiterers aim at
these.
The tobacco chewers who expecta
rate on the sidewalks, P. O- steps,
court house steps, or anywhere th^y
chance to be.
I would suggest: A campaign ask
ing people not to expectorate in
public places. If that doesn’t get
results then fine any person cau£h*
in the act.
The people who call over the tel
ephone and then hang up before one
can get from the living room to the
hall to answer it.
I would suggest: That, the tele
phone company suggest that persons
calling not leave the phone until
they have rung 3 times. It would
save much time and frayed nerves.
That where contagious diseases
are in the community I have to keep
my children confined to the hciuse
while the children with the diseases
roam the streets at will. This . is
not only not fair to me, it is a source
of danger to the community health
and a reflection on our city.
I would suggest: That whatever is
necessary to make the properauthoy-
ities feel their responsibility be done
and be done at once.
NOT MUCH CHANCE OF GET
TING FURTHER PLUMS
Dothen, Alabama., July 10.— Col.
Marion Rushton, assistant execu
tive to the undersecretary of war,
declared here tonight that “the time
will soon come, if in fact it is not
already here, when there will be no
appointments to commissions from
civil life.”
Rushton, in an address prepared
for delivery before the Alabama
state Bar association of which he is
a member, said the army specialist
corps “is about ready to get under
way to furnish a place for those who
because of age or disability are un
able to serve in the regular categor
ies,” and all others will be required
to enter at the bottom and demon
strate their abilities..”
“After all” he continued “that is
the democratic, the fair, and, from
our country’s point of view, the
safest way to find officers.”
Saying that under present tables
of organization there were only four
judge advocates (lawyers) to each
division of 20,000 men, the colonel
told his fellow attorneys there was
a backlog of 6,000 to 7,000 applica
tions for appointment in this branch
when he left Washington this week
and that every opening had been
filled.
“I would not be frank with you if
I did not say that I think your
chances of immediate commission
are slim,” Rushton said. “If, as the
war progresses,. you find your prac
tice falling off so that you have dif
ficulty making ends meet . . I think
you should consider volunteering.
“There is no reason to be ashamed
of entering the service as a private.
Promotion is quick and relatively
easy—the army is looking desperate
ly for officer material.”
The former Montgomery attorney
warned his fellows that “There is
no future for lawyers, unless this
war is won and won completely, de
cisively and unconditionally,” add
ing:
“All of our foreign wars to date
have been pushovers. But this war
is no pushover and before it is over
every last one of us must make sac
rifices in our way of living, in our
possessions, and, yes in our blood.
