C.,FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1942 Published Weekly Share-A-Ride Plan Meets Approval The chamber of commerce along with the Jaycees wishes to call the attention of the public to the share the ride service they are offering. We have had several salesmen who are making regular trips to offer to take passengers along their routes and who knows but that in the future we may be able to combine trigs for salesmen? But this service is not altogether for salesmen, it is for the general public If you are going to make a trip in your car and do not have a load, phone the chamber of commerce and see if they have someone listed who is going your way and willing to help bear the expens*;. Also if you do not have a car, or ar e unabcT to use your car and want lo make a trip and are willing to help bear the expense, phone the chamber of commerce, 355, and tell u s where you want to go and we will try to arrange for you to ride with some one going in that direction. A soldier hearing of this service came around to the chamber of commerce and congratulated us on the idea saying that it was one of the best that he had heard of, also suggested that we send the idea into the National cham. ber of commerce so that other towns could receive the benefit from it. Accepting hi ssuggestion we sent it in. The Jaycees and the chamber of oommerce are glad to offer this ser vice to the public and hope the pub lic will avail itself of this privilege.

RUMOR SPREADERS HIT BY SENATOR “One of the worst situations ex isting in Washington and the rest of the country at the present time is that concerning rumors,” declared Senator Scott W. Lucas, Democrat, of Illinois, on the floor of the senate recently in the course of debate on aid for small business. “One cannot go into a Washington hotel or in a public building, or scarcely anywhere,’ he said, “without Jpeing confronted with a group of rumors, or a certain amount of prop aganda, that, it seems to me, is trp- endously effective from the stand point of the axis powers.” The controversy which prompted Senator Lucas’ criticism of some commentators and news wnters was brought about by the presentation of a newspaper clipping of a popular columnist who had misquoted an im portant item in the Murray aid for small business bill. , . . , Pointing out that he had friends in the newspaper game and among those Who are on the air, Senator Lucas asserted, “My criticism is ut tered in the best of faith, at a time when our country is in the greatest peril that it has faced in all history. The Illinosian said “This is no time for individuals to sit . . . around in the cocktail lounges of Washing ton and other places and constantly spread rumors and gossip with res pect to matters concerning which they know nothing.’ In the interest of national unity and as a matter of winning the war as soon as possible., Senator Lucas called upon news writers to quit “speculating and conjecturing about this or that unless they really know what they are talking about.” AWAY OUT IN FRONT OF ITS SCHEDULE Memorandum to Hitler, Hirihijo and Mussolini: Re: machine gun production via the automotive industry. Deliveries as of May 1, 1942 were being made at a rate 22 times in ex cess of original contract schedules: manufacturing time cut 49 per cent; costs reduced 49 per cent on each gun. This does not pertain to the ac complishments of the entire industry, but it is the progress of one company that began production of 30 and 50 calibre machine guns just a little over a year ago. Originally scheduled to get under way December 1, 1941, this company when Hie need became greater, was asked to step up its preliminary tool, ing work, so that production might begin June 1. Not satisfied with merely meeting this new request, the company proceeded to turn out its first guns April 1—a full 8 months ahead of the original schedule. Machine guns have been rolling from assembly lines of this firm at an increasing rate ever since. By February, 1942, for example, deliver ies were more than double the rate of three months earlier. By May, deliveries of February were doubled. At the same time, the concern has turned out 31 per cent more extra barrels than were called for in the contract. Many ingenious shortcuts have had to be worked out to accomplish this high rate of production. Work ing with army ordnance officers, automotive engineers were able _ to introduce innovations as adopting chemical cleaning process, that had been used for cleaning metal grilles in automobile manufacture, for cleaning machine gun barrels. Hours were reduced to minutes by this pro cess. More than two hours were saved by applying assembly line practice. By an improved riveting system and Forage School Plans Ready Says Ezell “All arrangements have been made for a large group of farmers and ag ricultural workers who are expected to attend the forage school on the farm of William Ballentine, near Ja. lapa,” says P. B. Ezell, county agent. The school will be held next Fri day, August 7th, beginning at 10:30 a. m. War Time. Mr. Ballentine has done a most creditable job in producing the dif ferent forage crops for this school and specialists from the Extension Service, Soil Conservation Service and Farm Security will be there to handle different phases of the day’s program. Miss Ethel Counts,home demonstra tion agent, has arranged a program that will be of interest to the ladies who attend. Arrangements have been made for the state patrolman to be in charge of parking the cars and some 4-H club boys will be on hand to gi- e out programs to folks as they arrive. Mr. T. B .Amis is cooperating by furnishing several barrels of ice wa. ter which will probably be very much in demand. An old fashioned picnic lunch will be served on Mr. Ballentine’s lawn. Mr. Ezell urges all interested farm ers to come and spend the day. NUTRITION CLASS The Long Lane Home Demonstra- tioi club met Friday, July 3. The meeting was called to order by all repeating the Flag Salute, followed by the creed of the farm women. Mrs. Bernard Carlisle gave the de votional and all stood and repeated the Lord’s prayer. The club song, “Stars’ Spangled Banner” was sung by all. During the business part of the meeting it was decided to have a nu trition class. The first lesson was held at this meeting, the teacher be ing Misg Ethel Counts. The classes will be taught with our regular monthly meetings. It was also voted to donate five dollars to help fur nish a day room for the soldiers at Fort Jackson. Each member was asked to bring crackers and sandwiches to the next meeting, since this will be the Augusta meetings. The next meeting will be Friday, August 7 at 3:30.

Colony Ha$ Best Homecoming Day Sunday, August 2nd, a capacity au dience crowded into Colony Lutheran church, not withstanding the intense heat, to hear rendered, according to many comments, one of the best home coming programs in the memory of those who have been attending these services for many years. For sheer beauty of language and thought the welcome address delivered by Miss Louise Buzhardt, was a gem. This was followed by a response by Mrs. Geo. O. Derrick of Columbia, a for mer member of Colony, words ap- oropriate, fitting and beautiful in which she expressed for former mem bers and visitors their pleasure in being back for this service. The sermon in the morning was de livered by Rev. Karl W. Kinard, pas tor of the Church of the Ascension, Columbia, who as a small boy worshipped there when his father, the late Dr. J. D. Kinard was pastor. His subject was Remembrance based on the text: Luke 16:25 “Son Re member”. He developed the thought that the homecoming brought back memories of the past, and that memory serves to inspire or depress, depending on the things which we remember, the acts and deeds we re member whether they have been good or bad. Then he carried the thought over into the future, even after death. Memory survives life. The rich man in torment remembered. He urged all to live upright lives so that their memories shall always be sweet memories. The afternoon service consisted of a short devotional service cnducted by Pastor 'Kinard and a most prac tical and inspiring address delivered by Rev. V. L. Fulmer, pastor of Mayer Memorial church, Newberry. His subject was “The Meeting Place.” Basing his address on Proverbs 22:2 “The rich and the poor meet togeth er: the Lord is the maker of them all’’ and I. Thessalonians 4:17: “We shall be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air.’ He stated, af ter having given illustration of how men have had and do have certain meeting places for the purpose of business and various secular affairs, that God has provided bis meeting place, the Church, where the rich and the poor are privileged to meet fto- gether to worship the same God. He said there is no place in the House of God of bickerings and class preju dices or for class divisions. _ He said the constant nagging and differences in our churches at times, some pull ing one way and some another, are hindrances to the growth of the King dom of God. In concluding he said there is going to be a final meeting, a final homecoming when we shall all be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air. Nobody will be ab sent there. They may stay away from God’s meeting place here, but not there. And that will be the last meeting of many for the judgment shall immediately follow and the righteous and the unrighteous, the saints and the sinners shall be for ever separated. The pastor, Rev. M. L. Kester, was in charge of the ser vices. REGRETS LEAVING WORK AT ST. PHILIPS Among those receiving the Master of Arts degree in Education at the University of South Carolina on July 31st is Cecil Wolling Bowers, princi pal of St. Philips high school for the past three years. He has been studying for this degree, as oppor- tuity afforded him in connection with his school work, since the fall of 1940. In June of this year, he and his family moved from Prosperity to Columbia, where he could finish this course and teach in the Dreher high schools next session. Mr. Bowers said that he enjoyed his work in the St. Philips school, being associated with the educational work in Newberry county and living in Prosperity, and regretted to sever these relations, but due to a decrease in enrollment of pupils in the St. Philips school he felt it advisable to make the change.

Blease sent the following telegram to President Roosevelt under date of July 26th: “In my candidacy for the United States Senate, I have personally visited and spoken in 19 of our 46 counties. At every place I have urged that our people unit edly support you in your efforts for an early victory for the Am erican cause. I shall continue to do that. I have been active in every drive for the Red Cross, USO and every effort to aid America. The only male relative in my immediate family, quali fied for active service, my grand son, is in the air corps. My country may have all my prop erty, all my talents and all my service, if they are needed. I find that the people of South Carolina, especially the traveling salesmen and many employed in industries pertaining to national defense, and even farmers who are helping feed our people, can not render full service- to their country if the gasoline rationing is continued. All of our people want to help. Please see, as I know that you will do if it is possible, that some relief is given to these patriotic citizens. I realize if arty relief is given that credit will be claimed by Senator Maybank, and perhaps given to him, and that little, if any, credit will be given to any one else, even to you, for any thing that will he done, for our people. Regardless of this, and however it may aid him, I wish you to know that as a loyal American citizen and as a true South Carolinian, my sole inter est is for America and my peo ple. If the granting of this re lief will even cause his re-elec tion and my defeat, I shall still say, God bless America, God bless my people, God bless Pres ident Roosevelt, God bless my boy.” FOREST CARPENTER IMPROVES Forrest Carpenter, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Carpenter, who has been very ill in the Columbia hospital for the past few days, is reported to be improving and expects to return Jo his hoftie soon. ' - ’ TAKES JOB IN CLINTON Mrs. P. D.
