C., FRIDAY. JULY 24. 1942 Published Weekly $1.00 PER YEAR Blease Favors Policy of “Work or Fight” In Present Crisis ‘Riotous Living’ Won’t Win Blease Says—Campaigners in Low State All This Week Bamberg, July 20.—South Carol ina’s candidates for the Democratic party’s nominations to political of fice, opening their first full week in the lower state, today addressed a perspiring, mildly-interested audience on the county courthouse grounds. One hundred and thirty seven per sons , men without coats and women busily using their fans, sat or stood as the first state candidate began his address from the court house steps. Before the two-hour speaking was ended, the crowd had dwindled to fifty. This afternoon the candidates con tinued their pleas, speaking before an Allendale codnty audience at the co-unty seat. Despite the absence of heated ver bal clashes which formerly were ex pected on the “political circus” tour, the audience here gave respectful at tention to each of the candidates. There were no new issues raised. Eugene S. Blease, candidate for the United States senate now held by Bumet R. Maybank, denounced fed eral waste. Senator Maybank tele- grahed regrets that he could not be present. Wyndham M. Manning, candidate for governor, promised an orderly administration, in which the powers of the governor’s office would be co ordinated with those of the judicial and the legislature. His opponent Olin D. Johnston advocated $30 old age pensions, rural electrification expansion and a program to assure jobs in the post war period. He ex pressed opposition to any sales tax. Mr. Blease, retired chief justice of the supreme court, said that his half- brother, the late Cole Blease, im pressed upon him the principles of democracy. Citing the expectation that America must feed and clothe her allies after the war, he said that “I shall never point my finger at a good, honest South Carolina farmer and tell him to go and get a job on WPA. I want to tee o\ir farmers iindependent.” Blease for “W'ork or Fight Passing through Denmark this morning, he saw twenty-five or thir ty negroes, apparently well able to work, loafing on the street. They get “little allotments, a few commod ities here and there, and our farmers can’t get them to work. Something is wrong my friends. Wilson said, ‘you must work or fight.’ I think that’s the order we need in America today for a certain class of people who don’t want to work or fight. Referring to alleged cases of fed eral waste and extravagance and pointing tp_the sacrifices being made by the service men to save this gov ernment, he said: “We cannot back them up with riotous living, with extravagance; with waste ... .If you elect me, 1 don’t expect to hang around asking jobs to keep people out of war .... If you want a senator to get you a job or a contract that is not necessary don’t vote for me . . .I’ll tell you why. I love my country—I love my state ... “Do away with this complacency. Do away with this feeling that we are bound to win anyhow. Get to vive with that kind of rot and fool ishness and extravagance.’’ Declaring that while sugar is be ing rationed the government is pay ing $3,500,000 to persons for not growing sugar, he asked: “Do you think America can sur- viive with that kind of rot and fool ishness?’ “We’ve got too many people in Washington today who want the government to keep them up,” he said. “I tell you America can’t stand it.” His criticism, he ponted out, was constructive criticism, which Pres ident Roosevelt has invited. He warned that societies in the North are raising the negro issue and forcing it on the South. “I am not raising any race preju dice,” he said “I am telling those folks up there, “you quit raising it.” We can get along with the negro.” Mr. Manning, the first guberna torial candidate to speak, said that his experience as an officer, legisla tor and farmer has fitted him for the governor’s chair, especially at this time when one with knowledge of military problems is needed to coun sel the people at home. This was a big reason, he said, for his announce ment a year ago, that he would run again for governor, instead of for the senate, as some friends had urg ed. ‘I am a farmer today,” he remark ed. “I believe I know what it means to a farmer when the prices of his products fall, when it is hard for him to get labor. I expect to attend to the problems of the farmer as gover nor of South Carolina.” If he is elected he said, the power of the veto will be used with discre tion and courage, and the pardon power with care. The power of the judiciary will be respected.” The boys serving abroad want to know that they are coming home to a state in which the people are not threatened with violence or over burdened with taxes, should I be elected governor .... I with which these boys will be satis- shall maintain a state government fled, that they will be sure the sac rifices they are making are not in vain.” Mr. Johnston said that, as gover nor, hi s automobile license redac tion resulted in saving the farmer with a D license two bales of cotton. He recalled that he fought against bonding the state without a vote of the people. He started the state’s airport development, its armory pro gram and its rural electrification de velopment, he said. “You did not find me fighting Santee-Cooper, Buzzards Roost o r any other power companies that might furnish power for rural elec trification” he said. He recalled his advocacy of the “open formula” fertilizer law and extension of the state-supported school term. “I am for federal aid for schools” he said, “but I am not for federal aid a« long as any strings are tied to it. I believe in local self-govern ment.” ' He said that the federal govern ment should not be allowed to tell the state who should go to schools or what they should teach. MRS. B. A. DOMINICK Mrs. B. A. Dominick, the former Amelia Klettner of Newberry, died at her home in Orlando, Fla. Wednes day night July 15th, after a shprt illness. Besides her husband she is surviv ed by one daughter, Mrs. Henry K. Bryan, Atlanta, Ga., two sons, Julian K. and Bennett Dominick, Orlando, two sisters, Mrs. Mary King and Mrs. Randolph Patterson, Newberry, three brothers, S. J. Klettner, Hartsville, Otto Klettner, Columbia and August Klettner, Orlando, Florida. Funreal services were held in Orlando Fri day afternoon, July 17th. PROSPECTOR ENDS LIFE Kingman, Arizona, July 20.—The blistering desert sun which Stefan Stubick had endured for thirty years while prospecting through north western Arizona beat down relent lessly. He walked into his little ram- shackled cabin at Union Pass, twen ty-one miles west of here, and wrote a note: “Am sick man. Got no tires. Ste fan Stubick. Goodbye all.” . # That was on July 8 or 9. Today a coroner’s jury returned a verdict that he died of a self-inflict ed wound. Friends found his nude body be side his car, parked a short distance from his cabin on a mining claim he had been hopefully developing. Their testimony at the inquest in dicated Stubick, 71, had been trying vainly to repair his tires so that he could drive to Kingman for medical aid. A native of Austria-Hungary, Stubick had been naturalized in Ohio in 1900. There are no known relatives. HOW SOLDIERS MAY VOTE If you want your soldier son, or brother or sweetheart to vote go TODAY and put his name on the club roll on which he would enroll were he here in person; then go to the Secretary of the party an drequest an absentee ballot for him—that is all there is to It. You DO NOT have to make written application to the secretary for a ballot nor does the soldier have the put his .name on the book in person—anyone may do it for him. If you meet with any opposition in enrolling a solditrs’ name, call the attention of the manager of the book to the following amended section of the primary laws: “Rules 9 and 10 shall be modified to provide that Club Secretaries may enroll any and all persons enumerated above (soldiers and defense workers) without the neces sity of their actually signing the Club Roll or makingap- plication for enrollment.” Reunion Not Held This Year After consulting with some of the people of Little Mountain and others interested in the Little Mountain re union for Newberry college, it has been decided that it is advisable not to hold the reunion this year. The restrictions on gasoline and automo bile tires and other existing condi tions seem to justify such a decision. It is very much regretted that such an action is necessary, for this reunion has been held annually on the first Friday in August, with few exceptions, for sixty years; and it has given thousands of students, ex students and friends of Newberry and Summerland colleges an oppor tunity to meet together and to hear addresses by some of the great lead ers of our country in the interest of Christian education. It is hoped that, i/i soon as the conditions of our country make it reasonably possible, those reunions will be held again and in unbroken succession.—J. B.

MOVES TO END “CHISELING OF ENLISTED MEN Washington, July 2Q.—Price Ad ministrator Leon Henderson announc ed tonight a nation-wide campaign to end profiteering in the sale of beer and soft drinks to soldiers and sailors—a practice he describes as “a low form of chiseling.” Henderson invited any service man who believes he is being overcharged to notify his commanding officer who in turn was asked to forward the complaint tb the nearest OPA office for investigation and action.” “My office has evidence that grills, lunch wagons, restaurants, taverns and similar establishments in the vicinity of military establishments have jacked u>p their prices for bot tled drinks, Henderson said. The price administrator said no bottled drink could be sold at a price higher than the seller charged last March! Henderson said that the first di rect a’ction came last Saturday with the granting of temporary restrain ing orders in federal district court at Elizabeth City, N. C., against 12 de fendants in Clinton, N. C., near Fort Bragg, and Wilmington, N. C., near Camp Davis. TEAM WORK BROUGHT WOE TO LITTLE YELLOW Jacksonville, Fla. July 19.—On th* football field or at war it’s teamwork that brings victory, says Lt. Fred “Buzz” Borries, who as a halfback won all-American honors with the Naval academy eleven and as a fighter pilot got in some good licks for the U. S. battle fleet in its smashing triumph over the Japanese in the battle of the Coral Sea. Borries credited the same team work and competetive spirit dis played by American boys on the football field with being the deciding factor in the route of the Nipponese in one of the great naval engage ments of the current war. The youthful flying officer, who sparked a mediocre Navy eleven to an upset victory over a strong Armv team in 1934, was with a fighter squadron aboard the aircraft car rier Lexington which was lost in the Coral sea battle. He took off twice against the Japs, landing only when he needed more fuel and am munition, but on the last trip it was impossible for him to return to the Lexington so he flew to another American carrier. “I think I know what real team work means now,” Borries said in recalling the precision of the Ameri can attack. “Men who have never engaged in competitive sports may scoff when a man compares warfare to sports events, but the same fight ing spirit shown on the football field is one of the reasons why America i wins wars.” Brief News Items Mrs. Frank Major, of Greenwood, spent Sunday with her sister, Mrs. James Smith.

UNIQUE BILLBOARD While the United Nations are bat- tleing Hitler’s forces, the City of Newberry is endeavoring to do its part not only by sending its quota of enlisted men but also is going over the top each month in the sale of war bonds and stamps. Probably an incentive added to the patriotic desire is a unique bill board containing a drawing of Hitler whose neck is caught in the vice of a nut cracker, which is gradually but sure ly being tightened'by the forceful pressure of a soldier and a working man who are squeezing it with all their might. They appear to be do ing a good ob as Hitler’s head is be ginning to crack under the pressure. The nut cracker shaped like a V for victory is white on a red and blue background. The words “Fr Victory and Buy Bonds” are inscribed on the background. Underneath is a space where each month Newberry’s bond quota is posted. Matt Adams, local sign painter, designed and painted the poster, which is located on the side of Hal Kohn’s store in a conspicious place on Main street. Blackout Reveals Newberry Prepared The first blackout for Newberry occuring last Friday night was de clared a decided success by J. Keis ter Willingham, county defense chair man. The only definite information from headquarters in Columbia was that the blackout would take place be tween nine and eleven o’clock and exactly six minutes after the signal flashed at 9:35 o’clock the control center was fully manned and operat ing perfectly. All street lights and those in resi dences went out immediately and no cars or persons other than wardens or policemen, wmre to be seen any where. All traffic was stopped on the outskirts of town and awaited the all clear signal. One car carrying a sick child to a doctor was permit ted to come in town. Quietness simi lar to that during the wee small hours of the night prevailed in the residential section. One warden stat ed that he kept seeing small flares of light in one section and upon inves- igation discovered that it was color ed residents staging a small warfare on mosquitoes by the burning rag method. The blackout lasted for fifty-five minutes with the three local mills participating for fifteen minutes. During this time wardens, auxiliary policemen, messengers, home guards and others made practical use of th e methods they have been studying for sometime in classes. The newly installed siren system composed of a steam siren at the Newberry Cotton Mill and thirteen electric sirens at various points over the city worked perfectly with the sound being heard distinctly in all directions. A unique attachment at the control center, believed to be the only one of its kind in the state, is a turtle shap ed gong, a small instrument about an inch in diameter which contains thir ty-six teeth or notches and repre sents the number in the blackout sig nal. This gong is located directly in the control unit and when the black out signal is flashed to Newberry it is caught by the gong and flashed intantly to the three mills-. It is designed of copper and was made by R. F. Nichols, mechanic at the New berry Cotton Mill. Mr. Willingham stated that he wag also well pleased with the reception of the blackout over the county in general as all points reported that plans were carried out one hundred per cent. _ . . The local defense unit in addition to Mr. WiTirngham is composed of a staff of oficials, thirty-seven auxili ary policemen, 104 air raid wardeps, thirty auxiliary iremen, and three hundred people who have taken first aid and advanced training in the Red Cross. Whitmire, Prosperity and other sec tions over the county likewise have their own individual setups. Mr. Willingham stated that per mission will be asked for another blacRbut at a later date.

To Tennessee Columbia, July 20.—.In answer to an inquiry from the state branch of office of war information, D. S. Lewis, sales manager for the South Carolina division of Standard Oil company of New Jersey, today de clared no gasoline was being ship ped out of South Carolina into any unrationed state from pumping stations on the Plantation pipe lihe. “We are not shipping gasoline from any point where the Planta tion pipe line is tapped in South Car olina to Tennessee, Alabama, or any other unrationed state,” Lewis.
