VOLUME 6—NUMBERS The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1942 ’ Published Weekly $1.00 PER YEAR Luther Aull Finds an English Printing House The following interesting letter has recently reached us from Luther Aull, former valued helper on this sheet. Luther seems to be taking the service in his stride, as we knew he would: “Dear Mr. Ott:- “It’s not true; I’m neither a cas ualty, nor have I been shipped to Africa with that bunch of Americans who seem to be doing a swell job down there. We have a radio here in the office and when the one oclock news comes on production stops while we get our respective noses into the box to hear what the Ministry of Information wants disseminated. We also have a war map and the way we have the .progress of the 8th army in its march from Egypt and the Americans from the west coast marked on it from day to day, you would think we were a part of Gen eral Eisenhower’s staff instead of a crew of clerks in army personnel, weighted down and oppressed with mazes of red tape. And speaking of the Allied successes of the Allied arms, tomorrow has been set aside as a day of celebration. At least the church bells are going to ring, which will be the first time that has happened in three years. The cus tom is that during time of war, the church bells ring only in event of invasion. Reactions on that propo sition vary. Some folks seem to think that the celebration is prema ture, but the majority have the atti tude that it was time they had some thing to celebrate and talk about, what a fine things it is and how beautiful it will be to hear the bells ring once more. As a matter of fact one lady told me she believed she would cry for sheer joy to hear them once again. Aside from that events seem to be •pursuing their normal course. The Sun seems to be coming thru fairly regularly. Rather, I should say, I have received six or eight cop ies since I have been over here, which is better than most papers av erage. I haven’t got one in about a month or so though, except the front page of one issue that you sent first class. Keep ’em coming. I carried a couple of issues into town a few days ago to show to the fellows in a little shop where I have made con nections, and they were very much interested in it. As a matter of fact they took the whole afternoon off to examine it. If you can imagine your friend Col. George Waters, the Sage of Johnston, cast in a British mold and running a weekly paper in England, you have a pretty good des cription of the editor. He is a very interesting character to talk to. He’s as British as the London Times, but he reminds me so very much of Mr. Waters, even in looks and especially his allergy for cold weather, with which I can sympathize. He com plains about the British papers, that is the small weeklies, not being in dependent, and gives as the reason the fact that they are almost with out exception owned and directed by sock companies. I am taking his word for that. I do know, though, that there is no doubt about the ex istence of the ministry of Informa- tic .. Every paper’s news is practi cal y word for word and article for article exactly what is in every other paper. In conclusion, a word of thanks for the box. It was in fine shape when it got here and I appreciated everything in it, especially the raz or blades. So far we haven’t been able to get any to fit a dauble-edge razor. I hope we will be able to get some soon, because I am down to my last half-dozen or so. And since it is past “the very witching hour of night when grave yards yawn and hell breathes forth contagion to the world”, and I am beginning to sound a little silly, it is time to stop.

Hutchinson’s parents, Mr. andMrs. C. E. Hutchin son on Boundary street. TWO JOBS The action of the medical profes sion in voluntarily supplying the armed forces with practically the full quota of physicians requested for 1942, has proved that this country can still get a few things done with out employment of legislative force. Ernest Lindley, Washington com mentator, recently complimented the doctors on the success of their efforts when he said: “A few months ago the prospective shortage of physi cians in the Army was serious. The job of overcoming this was under taken by the War Manpower Com mission with the cooperation of the American Medical Association. . . . A roster of 176,000 licensed physi cians was available from which to draw the military quota of 42,000 for 1942, while preserving as far as pos sible an even distribution of medical care for the civilian population. This recruitment is still in process. With the year almost three-fourths gone, five-sixths of the quota has been filled.” Actually th e performance of medi cine in meeting Army needs is not surprising,! in view of the history of medical progressin the United States. The health record of our peo ple shows that the medical men are in the habit of achieving results. Right now they are setting to work on the problem of civilian medical care for those at home cannot be put on ice for the duration. Nothing could imperil the war effort more quickly than a breakdown in our health standards. The doctors have two jobs—one civil, the other military. Both jobs must be done well, and will be under the initiative of the American medi cal system.

YOUR HEALTH The shortage of doctors and nurses, which may grow even more acute as the war progresses, makes it more incumbent than ever upon ci vilians to protect their health. The doctors who are left in some com munities have more than they can do and it is getting more and more difficult to secure trained nurses. Poor health whether obvious or “hidden” shows itself more quickly under the strain of wartime work than in the normal activities of peacetime. Nearly e very one is now living under a nervous strain. For many, months men and women on the “productio front” have been advised by their employers in plants all over the country on how to keep healthy and fit to do the big job that Uncle Sam mus have done in a hurry. Here are ten hints which have been .passed along to people who are now engaged in war production and if these hints are good for them they are good for all civilians: 1. Get sufficient rest: People dif fer in the amount of sleep they need, but 8 hours is usually minimum for the average adult. 2. Get plenty of fresh air: Get at least one hour of sunshine every day. Open your windows at night, bpt avoid drafts, of course. 3. Get sufficient exercise: But don’t overdo, especially if you are over 30. 4. Eat the right foods: Every day eat these five kinds and then what ever else you need—milk, eggs or cheese or fish or meat, fresh vege tables, fresh fruit, and whole-grain or enriched bread or cereal. 5. Drink lots of water: Let your thirst be your guide, but drink enough to keep your urine very pale yellow. 6. Avoid intestinal sluggishness: Constipation permits toxic sub stances to seep into the system and can make one “feel like 30 cents.” 7. Use moderation in all things. Don’t overdo in work or play. 8. Have fun: Choose recreation that really re-creates you. 9. Keep your sense of humor: In these trying days it is doubly impor tant to relax with healthy laughter. 10. See your doctor: If you’re not feeling 100 per cent well, and good living habits and proper nutrition do not correct the trouble, see your doc tor. A regular medical check-up is good “health insurance.”—Lancaster News. MOTHERS CLUBS TO SPONSOR HOSE DRIVE The hosiery salvage collection, Wednesday, by the Mothers clubs of the city was most gratifying. A large number of discarded silk, es pecially valuable in the making of powder bags and other vital war purposes, wore colected. The mothers clubs will continue to sponsor this worthwhile cause for the duration, beginning Thursday, Dec ember 3. All merchants in the city who sell ladies silk hose will have a box in their store in which hose can be placed. Don’t wait until you have a large number of hose, but each time you have a pair to be discarded see teat it is placed in the box. The silk in hosiery is vitally important now for fighting purposes. So bring yours and drop it into one of the boxes placed in local stores for your con venience. Any kind of silk, rayon or nylon hose can be used. So don’t forget to take along your clean silk hose when you go shopping. TREASURER HAS GOOD COL LECTIONS A ten per cent increase in the collection of taxes to November 15 —one month after the books opened >—is reflected in figures released by J. Ray Dawkins, county treasurer. Sixty-four per cent, or $283,000.41 of the new taxes have been collected by the Treasurer. Total taxes charged to the treasurer this year amounts to $438,000. EDWIN M’CRACKIN WOUNDED IN NORTH AFRICA Edwin McCrackin is now hospital ized in Asheville, N. C., after having been returned to this country from North Africa. Edwin was one of the “Yanks” with General Eisenhower’s contingent which invaded the dark continent a few weeks ago so brill iantly. Edwin was wounded twice, once in the abdomen and once in the leg. He was for a time very ill but is said to now be improving satisfac torily. KENDALL MILLS LUTHERAN PARISH Rev. J. B. Harman, pastor.

Tom Pope's Future (Henry Cauthen in The News & Courier.) 9 The effects of the first year of the war have been many in South Carolina, and as the year comes to a close, with the news of our part in it at least momentarily good and growing progressively better, some men are beginning to speculate on the post-war period in politics, and the effect of the war on that politics. Here, as in other states, of course, there is a school that predicts that the men who will come back from the war will exercise a strong hand in politics. Many believe men from the war will come back to “take charge.” Virtually all of the men in South Carolina politics who were begin ning to flower into prospertive lead ers are now in the war, and although they are the type of men who are at this time investing all they have in energy and resources in their assign ments in the armed forces, they are the men who will not forget politics and political aspirations, and when they come back they will undoubtedly be heard from. There is, for example. Major Tom Pope, of Newberry, who made him self such a power in the house of representatives before he resigned to become general counsel for the unemployment compensation com mission. It was soon thereafter that Major Pope, being commanding of ficer of the Newberry national guard company, was called into active duty in the army. Those who know Pope believe that when he returns from the war he will set out again on a political career. It is true that Pope had left the house for a legal post in one of the state agencies, but those who know him felt that Pope would surely come back into active politics, and that is the belief here. Pope is one of those fellows who just cannot sit idly by when public matters are stirring, and he demon strated, while in the house, that he is made of the stuff essential to ef fective leadership. Moreover, with in Pope is an urge to express the im pulses he has. Even if Pope, in leaving the house; had resolved to concentrate on the law, the guess here is he couldn’t have stayed out of the political picture. And the prediction here now is that Major Pope, tall, determined, able and courageous, will be back in the swing, and that they will have to listen- to him. (There would be much gnashing of teeth hereabouts if Tom Pope even considered putting aside his brilliant political future. We who know Pope know that the crying need for years has been for men of his typet—men who will not compromise with dirty politics and special priveleges. Tom Pope is a gentleman to the manner born. He is a natural leader and an honest one and as such he will not fail to spend his life in the public service. It is men of Tom Pope’s make-up who make possible and bearable the democratic form of government.—Ed. Sun.) REVIVAL SERVICES BEGIN AT CENTRAL METHODIST Bishop Edwin Hughes of Wash ington, D. C. will preach twice daily in Revival Services at Central Meth odist church Sunday, December 13, 11:30 a.m. and 7:30 pan.

BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL CLUB MET WITH MRS. HAWKINS The Business and Professional Women’s club had an unusual supper meeting Saturday night at the mod em country home of Mrs. . F. Haw kins with Mrs. Mae Aull, Mrs. L. E. Wood and Mrs. Sudie C. Wicker as sociate hostesses. After super, the meeting was preside dover by the president, Mrs. Jesse Mayes. Reports were first heard from the treasurer and corresponding secetary as these members had to leave the meeting early. The club voted funds to fur nish milk for one month for a very small child in the county. A report was heard from the chairman of the membership committee which recom mended the acceptance of some new members into the club. It was decided to have an informal Christmas party and Miss Mary Alice Mitchell graciously invited the club to her home for this affair. The matter of furnishing a loan to some girl who desires nurses train ing was also brought to the attention of the club. After this discussion the president turned the meeting over to our State President of the Business and Professional Women’s club, Miss Margaret Burge, who was our visitor over the weekend. Miss Burge complimented the club on its activities for the short time it has been in existence and recommended that its accomplishments be written up in detail and sent to the Naional magazine, “Independent Women”. She also gave us helpful information on various other matters. The cluh then adjourned to the Armory where they were entertain ing a contingent of soldiers from Fort Jackson with a dance. About 150 soldiers enjoyed the hospitality of the club. THE PATTERN TAKES SHAPE Bureaucracy can make hash of in dividual rights. It is doing so right now in many of our states, by try ing to force some form of socialism down the throats of the people. Ever since the “great depression" when the shortcomings of a handful of companies gave the power social ization demagogues their chance, the electric industry has endured puni tive attacks of the most unjustified nature. These attacks, wholly apart from any legitimate endeavors to correct abuses, have for ten years had just one aim in view—socializa tion of the electric industry. They have been integrated and planned, parts of a scheme of frightening pro portions; frightening because if not halted they threaten a basic change in the American form of government. In Nebraska, a center of power socialization activity, the North Platte Telegram observed that “every local campaign is part of the whole. . . . Anyone can see that sim ply by looking at a map. In the Southeast, the TVA has an almost 100 per cent electric monoply in whole states. ... In the Middlewest, such experiments as the Loup-River project in Nebraska are doing their part to destroy private ownership in one of the most essential and pro gressive industries in this state. In California, Boulder Dam, Shasta Dam and other ventures are advanc ing the alien cause of Socialism. Similar projects are doing the same in Oklahoma, Texas, & other states. And in the Pacific Northwest the drive . . . reaches its climax. Now pending in Congress is a Columbia River Power Authority Bill, which, if passed, would make all that area's power resources, privately-owned and municipally-owned alike, subject to czar-like control of a group of Wash ington politicians.” The concerted effort to socialize the private electric industry and en danger the savings of hundreds of thousands of .private citizens in that industry, is continuing without abate ment, even in the face of a war to protect us from the aggression of socialistic dictatorship. The Social ists know that if they can secure control over electricity, they will wield life and death power over the industries and communities of every state.

OTHER NEWBERRY TORNADOS “Dear Editor: Intim te detsilsas (whatever the Prophet means by that) to escape without serious in jury of my double first cousin, Mrs. Erin Rawl in the tornado. She was sitting m the kitchen of the old Mc- Keilar house (built about 90 years ago) with two pet cats on a stool by her side when she was. swept into the yard with wrecked timbers, roof of front porch of house was blown off. She was extricated from the wreck age. She was under a beam with her arm sticking out when Forrest Sum mer released her. She arose and walked blithely away as if she had only fallen down. She is an octogen- erian & only surviving member of the Barre family of Lexigton—Jac ob Barre, my mother’s brother, and Elizabeth Houseal Barre, my moth er’s sister. The Sun has a full, splendid account of the tornado. It struck Columbia at 7:40 as I was listening to Kaltenbom and twisted off 50 feet of one of four magnolias 100 feet from my home. They were planted by Wodrow Wilson's mother 70 years ago at Wilson Memorial honie. Will appreciate another copy of the Sun of last week. , A tornado struck the McKellar house 42 years ago—ripped off the southeast comer and gable end as though sawed off by a skillful car penter.

It will look mighty nice to see a United States flag floating a each school house. Newberry should have a real park and it should be along either side ^>f Scotts creek with a drive way on either side and nice trees .planted along the banks of the creek and flower gardens and walks and so on. But the first civic improvement that Newberry should unite in making ia the improvement of Rosemont, and make it Rosemont the beautiful. Tbe work on the Commercial bank building- is getting along rather alow but that class of work can not be hurried. It wil be a beauty when completed.
