publish the names and addresses, of
some of the Newberry county men
who are serving their country in var
ious branches of the seervice.
If you would like for us to publish
the names and addresses of your rela

them, we will be glad to do so. Just
mail or send us the names and ad
dresses, and we will publish them
again in order that their friends may
keep in touch with them at all times.
If you could see the boys when mail
comes ’round, and how eager they are
to hear from their friends and home
folks, you would write them more
often. So start now and do “your
bit’’ by writing each one whose name
you see in this column, a letter or a
card.

No, We Haven't Forgotten You
A letter came to our desk the other
day from a member of the Newberry
National Guard, from across tht seas
wanting to know if the Newberry
folks and the local papers had for
gotten them. This letter went on to
say, “since they were never mention
ed in the local papers, Newberry must
have forgotten the “Old National
Guardsmen.” That they very often
saw the home papers and could not
but help noticing how the boys back
home were given “write ups’” and
praises, and that nothing was ever
said about what they were doing.’’
No, National Guardsmen, we have
n’t forgotten you by a long “shot.”
We know that you were the first to
go across, and were ready to do “your
bit” when the time came. Yes, we
arfe" "all proud of you. If we could
hear from you like we can from the
boys that are still on this side, we
feel sure that there would be far
more praises to your credit than
theirs. So it is up to you National
Guardsmen to show the ones that are
still on this side and the ones that
are going over, just what you con do
and what is xepected of them. You
have set the example and have done
an excellent job.

PREPARATION MADE FOR
SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAMS
Approximately 4,000 quarts of
fruits and vegetables will have been
canned by the two main canning cen
ters in Newberry county by the end
of the canning season, all to be used
for hot school lunches this winter,
stated F. B. Webb, who is employed
by the State Department of Educa
tion to serve in school districts where
the schools do not have agricultural
teachers.
The planting of the gardens and
canning is done by W. P.A. and vol
unteer labor under the supervision of
Mr. Webb. The funds needed to help
defray the expenses comes from each
school district.
There are four five-acre gardens
in the city and county which furnish
vegetables for canning. The two
main canning centers are located on
Main street, Newberry and at John
stone school house in the county.
There are nine centers in the coun
ty where the patrons of the communi
ty do the canning for the school, tak
ing the vegetables and fruits from
their own gardens and orchards. The
canning in these centers is sponsored
by the Home Demonstration clubs
and P. T. A.’s in the respective dis
tricts.
At the Johnstone school canning cen
ter, Miss Birdie DeHines heads the
unit and has Charge of the canning
and serving of hot lunches during the
school year. To date this project has
canned over 600 quarts of English
peas, corn, squash, okra, kraut, vege
table mixture, carrots, tomatoes, to
mato juice apples, pears, blackberries,
sweet cucumber pickles and pimen
tos. They also have a large quan-
ity of dried lima beans.
The products which are canned at
the canning center on Main street
will serve Boundary Street, Speers
Street, Mollohon, West End and Oak
land schools.
Mr. Webb stated that the schools
in the county would also have a
large supply of dried foods and fruits
as well as a large quanity of sweet
potatoes and corn meal for use dur
ing the school term.

Newberry Ranks Low
In Revenue From Beer
Newberry county’s income from the
tax on beer amounted to $5,071.59 in
the fiscal year which closed June ‘30,
an increase of 1 per cent over the
1940-41 figures, state tax commission
records showed this week.
The county ranked 28th among the
46 in the state. All counties, except
Berkley, showed increases, and four
of them, Beaufort, Chesterfield, Marl
boro and Spartanburg, gained more
than 100 per cent.
The state tax commission, which
pays all expense of collecting and
distributing the tax money, retained
the larger share for support of the
schools but local governments may
use their money for a variety of pur
poses.
The incorporated places of the
county divided $1,662,38 and the
county government received $3,409.21
additional.

APPAREL RATIONING UNLIKE
LY THIS YEAR
Washington—Rationing of apparel
is likely to be avoided this year. Civi
lians are going to be warmly and
adequately clothed, although “dress
ing as usual” is no longer possible,
according to Joseph L. Weiner, depu
ty director of the WPB Division of
Civilian Supply.
Asserting that additional style mod
ifications may have to be made, af
fecting everyone alike, Mr. Weiner
added that because of the wool sit
uation, the public will wear more and
more cotton.
“It appears also,” he said, “that
the military demand for wool will
bring about additional minor changes.
Cloth manufacturers will have to
blend wool with cotton and other ma
terials in order to conserve, but we
can be sure that we will be well
clothed. In other words, we will
have to cut out the frills on clothing,
and, in effect .“dress for war.”
J. V. CLARY GINS FIRST BAUE
OF COTTON
The first bale of cotton to be gin
ned in Newberry county this year was
brought to the Southern Cotton Oil
Co. Monday by J. V. Clary from the
Smyrna section of the county. The
bale was middling grade and weighed
528 pounds.
The second bale was ginned Wed
nesday at the same gin, and was
broughtin by John W. Senn of the
Longshore section. It was also mid
dling grade and weighed 484 pounds.
f
NEW ‘AILMENT’
Despite lowered standards, the
army still is rejecting men for a
number of physical defects—latest of
which was reported by a negro bjis-
boy who returned for work several
days after leaving for an army ex
amination.
“I thought you were in the army,”
his employer exclaimed.
“I’se rejected, boss,” the busboy
replied.
“What’s the trouble?’”
“They said I had too much blood, in
my sugah!” was the startling reply.
Further inquiry, however, led to
display of an examination blank
which disclosed the negro had been
rejected because of hypoglycemia—or,
in plain words, too much sugar in the
blood.

con, Ga., is visiting Mr. Burns’ moth
er, Mrs. J. L. Bums.
Quarters For Soldiers
At Old Legion Hall
If the Woman’s Division of the
County Defense Council had done
nothing else than to make the up
stairs of the old court house the com
fortable, attractive place that it is
for visiting soldiers, these women
would have demonstrated their value
in service. However, this is just one
of many things suggested, sponsor
ed, and carried out by the Women’s
section.
All who are interested are invited
to visit the old legion hall and see
what the women, assisted by a com
mittee of men, have done. A few
things have been bought; everything
else has been loaned or given. The
furniture stores have furnished floor
and table lamps, divans, chairs, and
some tables. Dr. Weeks gave six
cots and a large floor fan. A few
cots have been bought and others
were loaned by individuals, so that
there are now 22 arranged in two
rows, each with freshly laundered
sheets and pillow cases. A shower
bath has been installed, with fresh
towels on hand; also a lavatory with
a roll of paper towelling.
There are two pingpong tables with
equipment, Chinese checkers, besides
other games, and many magazines; a
piano, a large writing table and writ
ing materials.
Additional cots are badly needed.
Folding cots used by Boy Scouts on
camps would be much better than
sleeping on the floor as many sol
diers have been doing each Saturday
night.
The committee is most appreciative
for all help given, but especially to
the committee of men—Dr. Weeks,
and Messrs Hutto, Cobb, and George
Dominick, who have worked untir
ingly on this project.
The woomen who see that this cen
ter is kept infirst-class condition,
going every Monday morning to send
the linen to the laundry, even them
selves doing much of the sweeping
and dusting, deserve not only the
thanks of the soldiers, but the com
mendation of the community.
Mrs. Richard Baker and Mrs. Dave
Hayes are the ce-chairmen for the
project. They have had the willing
assistance of Mesdames Neal Work
man, Cannon Blease, H. M. Bryson,
Dudley French, Theo Albrecht, Geo.
Dominick, Clarenfce Hutto, O. M.
Cobb, John Clarkson, Ellisor Adams,
Steve Grifiith,and Hunter Brown.
Last fall when the need arose for
recreat'on centers for the soldiers
who came to Newberry for the week
ends, the Women’s Division of the
County Council of Defense asked the
county authorities to delegate to
them the use and management of the
upstairs of the old court house for
this purpose. The request of the
women was cheerfully granted ‘for
the duration,” and to the county au
thorities goes their sincere apprecia
tion.

MARRIED MEN TO BE CALLED
SOON
Boston, Aug. 18—A spokesman for
Brigadier General Lewis B. Hershey’s
national selective service board told
the Army and Navy Legion of Valor
reunion today 'that a general draft of
married men under 46 years of age
with dependents will come “in the not
far distant future.’
In an address before the 52nd an
nual reunion. Ted Luther, public re
lations director for the board, said
that the nation’s reservoir of 1-A
men “was practically exhausted,”
and that it now would be necessary
to obtain soldiers from 1-B and 3-A
classes.
The number of dependents each
man had “might influence” the or
der in which he would be called,
Luther added.
JIMMY WISEMAN IN HOSPITAL
The friends of Jimmy Wiseman will
regret to learn that he is a patient
in the St. Frances hospital in Green
ville. Mr. Wiseman entered the hos
pital Monday. He expects to return
to his home in Newberry in about
two weeks. . _ . -
MANPOWER
ON THE FARM
In a recent address, John
Brandt, head of the National
Cooperative Milk Producers Fed
eration, had some common-sense
things to say about agriculture
in this country.
On the subject of the farm la
bor situation, he observed: God
pity this nation and its liberties
if the farmers of America said
tomorrow, ‘We are going to quit
on Friday at four o’clock and we
won’t turn a wheel again until
eight o’clock Monday morning.’
We’d be licked before we started'.
. . . Our men are going to the
Army, as we expect them to go,
and we likewise expect whatever
is necessary of the manpower on
the farm to go and work in de
fense factories. But until such
time as the manpower of the
city has been used to the extent
of more than 40 hours a week,
they have no right to draw from
agriculture men and women out
of the 70-hour category.’’
• Food is as necessary to this
war as bullets. We have obligat
ed ourselves to supply other
United Nations with gigantic
quantities of foodstuffs which
. they cannot obtain elsewhere. If
the farms are drained of man
power, that food supply cannot be
produced. In some sections of
the country, lack of manpower
for farming is already forcing
curtailment of operations. This
is a real and imminent problem,
and it must be solved.

Army Bomber Lends
In A Field Near Here
BOMBER COMES DOWN IN
FIELD HERE
A B-25 medium bomber pancaked
to a perfect landing in a field in
front of the home of Collier Neel
here late Monday afternoon after
flying over the town several times
looking for a landing field, and three
young airmen, none the worse for
their exciting experience, emerged
from the big machine to learn that
they were, in Newberry and not
Greenwood as they thought
The bomber took off from the Co
lumbia air base for a routine flight
but an electrical storm formed over
the city shortly after the takeoff and
obscured their field. The airmen de
ciding to ride out the storm found
their gasoline supply dwindling and
checked their maps for the nearest
airfield which was Greenwood.
Reaching Newberry they flew over
the town several times looking for
the landing field and failing to find
it decided on a crash landing. The
pilot decided against using his land
ing gear due to the terrain of the
field upon which he landed.
Collier Neel saw the plane land
and rushed to the scene. He said it
threw up a large cloud of dust as it
skidded a hundred yards or more be
fore stopping. The pilot of the ma
chine came back to Mr. Neel's home
and phoned the airport informing
them of the accident. The plane was
not damaged other than bent propel
lers.
A large crowd soon gathered at the
scene of the landing as many persons
watching the plane pass over the
city at a low altitude reasoned that
it was in trouble, and saw the bomber
go down or heard the crash.
One of the airmen was heard to
ask the other if he thought of using
his parachute. “Never even thought
of it” was the reply. A young lady,
come to view the big plane, heard it
described as a medium bomber. “Med
ium!’’ she exclaimed, “do they have
them bigger?”
A special truck for handling dis
abled planes came to Newberry ear
ly Tuesday morning to remove the
bomber.
SCRAP DRIVE A GREAT SUCCESS
No drive in Newberry has ever gone
over with more enthusiasm than the
one this week for scrap. It must be
remembered that several weeks ago
much scrap iron, rubber, etc., was col
lected by the boy and girl organiza
tions of the city. But if there was
a home this week that did not contri
bute all that it had, the committee
has not heard of it. It was an in
spiration to see little boys and girls,
and larger ones, with their wagons
loaded with the smaller pieces in each
neighborhood, taking it to a central
ly located lawn so as to save tires and
gas for the trucks doing the collect
ing. The drive would have been well
worthwhile if only for the lessons of
service and patriotism taught these
children. As for the women, all of
the old dependables worked as usual,
but there were so many enthusiastic
ones who had never been in a drive
before this.
There isn’t space for all the echoes
from the drive, but among the many
interesting ones is the contribution
by the two Morris sisters on Main
street—the two steel helmets worn by
their brothers as members of the A.
E. F. One was worn by Nathan Mor
ris who volunteered when only six
teen and one-half years old.

ASSOCIATION HEAD SAYS
FARMERS PAY DEBTS
The mid-year report of the Clinton
Production Credit Association by Rex
Langford, secretary-treasurer, shows
that the association had outstanding a
total of 556 loans in the amount of
$366,360.00. This compares with 540
loans for $306,000.06 on the same
date last year.
The association, which is controlled
by farmers of Laurens and Newberry
counties, has 642 class B stockholders
who own $22,900.00 of the capital
stock of the association. Reserves
amount to $35,261.60, which indicates,
according to Mr. Langford, that the
members now hold a substantial por
tion of the capitaland that the asso
ciation is in a healthy condition.
“We are just begining the 1942 har
vest season,” Mr. Langford declared
this week. “Fruit and grain crop*
have been moving to market and e'-
though the cash returns from some of
these crops are small, a fair price was
and is being realized by farmers. In
some instances, returns from peaches
have been exceptionally good. Cotton
will move to market at a price antici
pated to be well above the average for
the past several years.’
Mr: Langford said that farmers on
the whole in the Clinton Production
Credit Association territory seemed
to have their minds made up to pay
debts and reduce their outstanding ob
ligations as much as their incomes
will allow. He added that if prices
are good many of them plan to
strengthen their financial position and
invest their surplus funds in War
Bonds.
