LET’S BUY THE BONDS
(By Charles Elmer Haines)
I'm buying bonds so I can say,
I helped to lay Adolph away;
I helped to place him with the throngs
Of deamons, where the brute belongs
May he throughout eternity,
Be tortured for his treachery.
I’m buying bonds because I know
There’s none as low as old Tojo.
My bonds will slap him in, the face
And teach the crook to know his place
Pearl Harbor’s bomb’s I’ll not forget
That move the Japs will long regret.
I’m buying bonds to help to give
To all mankind, the right to live
And feel secure from slavery’s chain
To prove to all that men insane
From selfish greed for power can’t be
The type of man to set men free.
I’m buying bonds so that my boy
May have the freedom I enjoy;
So my offspring can never say,
“I cast their liberties away.’’
I’m buying bonds that every man
Be blessed with human rights again
I’m buying bonds because I know
’Twill send the planes to Tokio;
’Twill send the ships across the sea,
And help to set the bondaged free;
’Twill make bombs to route the foe,
Whose dirty tactics now must go.
I’m buying bonds; I know you will.
To do the same, and help go through
This bitter fray, we now are in;
Let’s pull together and we’ll win;
And when it’s over we can say,
We won it in a Godly way.
I’m buying bonds, I know you will.
To save our rights and bondage kill;
To show the world that justice rules,
And not a few Satanic fools.
Let’s be the actors on the stage,
Hand down to ours, our heritage.
Let’s buy bonds, it takes the dough
To win this fight, we all well know.
Why slumber on? Let’s stay awake,
Our lives and fortunes are at stake;
Those voices call from o’er the seas;
America! America!—
Come help us please!

Enjoyed Sun
Each week we send a complimen
tary copy of the Sun to the boys,
whose name and addresses appear in
“With The Flag” column. We feel
like we are doing a small bit in keep
ing ‘our boys” posted about the home
town.
Following is one of the many let
ters we receive showing appreciation
for this service, which we are glad
to render.
Sept. 28, 1942.
The Sun,
Newberry, S. C.
Dear Editor:
Had a complimentary copy of The
Sun today. Enjoyed it very much.
Seems that Newberry has quite a
number of men in service all over the
world—from England to India.
In a way I am enjoying my stay
in Wyoming. Of course it ian’t like
home but the army isn’t supposed to
be. This is one of the two Quarter
master training centers in the U. S.
Have just finished my boss*' training
and will now take up some cccrse to
fit me for duties of a more specific
kind.
Hope the home folks are lined up
solidly behind the war effort.
Sincerely,
James D. Brown.

BOTTLERS PUT IT OVER
Abut the best down- to-earth job
of getting scrap we have observed
has been done by the bottlers of New
berry. The unusual thing about this
drive is that the bottlens have not
stood to one side and let “George”
do the work. They went into it to
get scrap and they gave the drive
personal attention and personal push.
We have noted executives of at
least one of the local bottling com
panies right up there with the hired
hands handling scrap like nobody’s
business. If the various drives
which have been put on over the
country had had half the hard work
and determination behind them as
this drive of the bottlers. Uncle Sam’s
steel mills would be deluged.
All praise to the bottlers; all praise
to the management and executives
who realize that this is also their
war to the extejit that they are will
ing to get in and work with their
hands to insure the success of their
scrap drive.
We do not know all the men behind
this successful scrap drive but we
are going to say here that from the
evidence L. F. Fischer deserves a
whole lot of credit—though we know
he is not seeking it.
Take a look at that pile of scrap
in front of the old court house—that
is the result of—W -O-R-K!
Make It Personal!
Washington.—Lessing J. Rosen
wald. Conservation Director of WPB
urged women assembled here
“Salvage School” to put the scrap
salvage program on a personal, rath
er than an impersonal basis.
“We’ve all heard about how many
bullets can be made from a flatiron
and how many tanks are in a. baby
carriage,” Rosenwald said. But from
the viewpoint of my two sons who
are in the armed ervices, I see the
scrap salvage program as a very
peronal thing.
“One-half of the steel your sons
and my sons need in every phase of
warfare comes from scrap, and if
there’s anything I can do to help him
get that steel, I am going to do it.
Our boys.' need all the protection you
can possibly given them, the latest
and most complete equipment for of
fensive and deensive action.”
ROSEMONT CEMETERY
Another trustee of Rosemont ceme
tery says—“In order to have a clean
cemetery, we must have clean lots.
We respectfully urge every lot owner
to clean their lot or send check for
$5.00 to D. L. Nance, treas, and we
will have it kept clean for 12 months.
Please attend to this atonce and if
there are any tres or shrubery on
your lot that needs trimming, be sure
to do this too. Your cooperation will
be greatly appreciated.
Mrs. R. Derrill Smith, trustee.

As a trustee of the cemetery, I am
greatly mortified over its condition.
But without sufficient funds with
which to keep it as the sacredness of
the place demands, there seems little
that the Board of Trustets can do
except to urge the lot owners either
to keep their lots in order or to- pay
$5.00 a year to have them kept.
Last year when the trustees speci
fied a week for cleaning the lots of
the summer growth of grass, there
was cooperation from many lot own
ers, and the same is urged for thm
time. We feel sure that many lot
owners have not visited their lots for
weeks; othewise the waist high grass
on many would have been cut.
A check for $5.00 mailed to D. L.
Nance, treasurer, will provide a neat
ly kept lot for one year.

The sixteen-inch coast gun is the
most powerful of all American guns
and costs about $2,000,000 each. It
will throw a shell weighing up to a

also has an eight-inch mobile rail
way gun which will hurl a heavy
projectile about 18 miles.

Girls Evidence Much
Interest In Training
Judging from the number of appli
cations received in the past week
by the National Youth Administra
tion office in Columbia, it appears
that the plan to open Camp Victory,
the West Columbia NYA Residn
Center, to girls m order that they
may take training in mechanical
trades will be most successful.
Due to the increased number of
young men entering the army the
demand for women in war industries
grows greater each *lay and already
South Carolina girls trained by the
NYa in welding and machine shop
work, are taking their places beside
the men in the ship yards and plants.
Girls trained as welders by the
Florence project are now employed in
a Mobile, Alabama ship yard and ma
chinists trained in Columbia have
been employed at the navy yard in
Charleeton.
The Columbia NYA project is of
fering a number of different type3 of
war production training such as
welding, machine shop operations,
radio maintenance, automobile and
combustion engine mechanics and
woodworking.
On October 12, 1942 the West Col
umbia NYA Center will receive its
first girl trainees.
At the center youth live in modern
dormitories, complete with all con
veniences, and are fed in the camp’s
mess hall. Youth participate in rec
reation activities and every effort is
made to see that the boy or girl is
benefitted by expert counseling and
guidance.
A great effort is made to impress
the individual youth *with the impor
tance of his or her work in the wai
effort and to see that they • apply
themselves to their training in or
der that the greatest possible benefit
may be secured.
Over 100 youth trained by this
project were placed in war industry
jobs in the past sir' weeks. Jobs are
secured through the U. S. Employ
ment Service and as the demand for
war workers is great, the youth that
applies himself diligently to his work
can be certain of securing employ
ment that not only pays well but
helps turn out a ship, plane or gun
with which to beat the axis.
Boys and girls between the ages 16
years, nine months and 25 years, who
are interested, may apply at the local
NYA office any dijr at 8:30 a. m
Mrs. Mamie S. Sui.ter will Interview
any youth at this time.

SEEK TO PAY CHURCH DEBT*
The congregation of St. James’
Lutheran church at Jalapa will put
forth a specialeffort on Sunday, Oct.
11 to cancel the remaining indebted
ness on the new church building.
This was decided by unanimous and
enthusiastic vote of the church coun
cil at a meeting held at the church
on Wednesday evening, September
30. The estimated value of the build
ing is about $12,000 but through the
generous gifts of friends and mem
bers of the congregation in materials,
labor and cash there remains only a
comparatively small debt. It is be
lieved that by a concerted effort each
member doing what he or she can do,
this debt can be removed without
working hardship on anyone. There
fore, the members are urged to be
present next Sunday, October 11 pre
pared to make cash contributions or
subscriptions payable by the end of
the year.

KEEN INTEREST DISPLAYED
IN AUXILIARY WORK
Rapid re-enrollment of present
members of the American Legion
Auxiliary for the new year indicates
a keener interest in the work of the
organization than ever before, said
Mrs. Mae Stuck, Auxiliary member
ship chairman, today as the organi
zations membership campaign for
1942 moved forward swiftly. Many
new members being added promised
increased membership strength for
the coming year, she said.
One hundred and fifty-six members
are enrolled in the Newberry unit for
1941 and this strength is expected to
be exceeded quickly by 1942 enroll
ments. Wives, mothers, sisters and
daughters of members of The Ameri
can Legion and of veterans who have
died are eligible to Auxiliary member
ship, as well as women v.-ho them
selves were enlisted in war service.
All such women in Newberry county
are being invited to join the Auxil
iary at this time.
“Today’s conditions have brought
the value of the Auxiliary’s work in
to sharp focus,” explained Mrs. Stuck.
“Our efforts for the disabled veter
ans of the last war, for their families
and the families of the dead are now
more clearly seen as true patriotic
endeavors, which strengthen the
morale of the nations. America must
remember and care for its disabled
defenders if their spirit is to be kept
alive for the country’s defense.
“Our work for good citizenship
takes on added importance with the
need to strengthen our democracy
from within to stand against attack
from without. Our program of
community betterment projects is
helping build a stronger, better Amer
ica. Our emergency service work is
contributing to the country’s civilian
defense preparation.
“We feel that no patriotic woman
who is eligible to the Auxiliary can
fail to give it her active support this
year and join with us in the work of
are doing for the security of our
country.”
Rural Fire Control
Urged For This Week
Clemson, October 5.—The week of
October 4, 1942, has been proclaimed
by President Roosevelt as National
Fire Prevention Week, and the fact
of war makes this 1942 fire preven
tion week vastly more important
than such a program during peace
time. Director D. W. Watkins of the
Clemson College Extension sgid here
today. Director Watkins was discus
sing particularly the emergency rural
fire control program.
“This fire control proafam is an
important war measure, in which a>-e
found things that every American
citizen can do to help win the war/
Director" Watkins continued. “The
Extension service has been asked by
Secretary Wickard to aid farm people
with the control of rural fires. At
this time, therefore, a fire prevention
campaign is being initiated by the
Clemson College Extension Service,
cooperating with the State Forest
service, the U.S. Forest Service, and
9,200 volunteer neighborhood leaders
throughout the Carolinas. The object
will be to remove every ^.possible fire
hazard to homes and property and to
forestall loss of life and resources
needed in the war.
“With the cooperation of other fed
eral, state, and private agencies, we
are inaggurating an Emergency Ru
ral Fire Control program in South
Carolina. Its purpose, of course, is
to prevet fires in the homes, in the
fields, and in the woodlands of the
State. These 9,200 volunteer county,
community, and neighborhood farm
leaders are being asked to contact all
farm families as their part in the
program.
“As director of the Extenion Ser
vice, I want to call upon all farm
people and upon all agencies in any
way interested in farm people, to
assist us in detecting and eliminating
fire hazards everywhere, to redos#
the loss of life and property from
blaze and smoke and to prevent all
fires. Fire is now a wartime enemy
and must be recognized and treated
as such.”
