The following from the Monroe En quirer will be of interest in Lancas ter; “Monroe and Marshville have Ion; had great respect and esteem for a splendid citizen who is known to nearly everybody in the county, be cause he has lived among us for 9’ years and is now the oldest citizen in the country. While he has lived and exemplary life, h e had never af filiated himself with a-ny church un til last Sunday when he was received into full fellowship of Zion Meth- clist church in Goose Creek town ship. Henry Baucom, one of the of ficial members, writes about the oc casion as follows: “On last Sunday afternoon, March 28th, Rev. E. W. Mills of the Union- ville charge went out to the home of John I. Long, near the Union county fair grounds and received him into tho church. In the presence of his wife, Mrs. Della Long, his two daugh ters, Mrs. Jane Tice and Mrs. Min nie Austin, his niece, Mrs. N. C. Price, and his nephew, Henry Bau com, Mr. Long was baptized and took the vow that made him a full-fledged member of Zion Methodist churdh. the church of his boyhood days, ir Goose Creek township. Mr. Long is now 95 years old, having been borr September 18, 1947. He is the oldest man ever to be received into thf cfiurch by the Rev. Mr. Mills and perhaps the oldest man ever to havr joined the church in Union county The occasion was one of the grandest scenes the writer has ever beheld and no one witnessing the same can ever forget it. Surely Mr. Long was one of the happiest persons ever to come into the church, and no child could be more jubilant at the return of a long-looked for mother than he was to come into the fold of Jesus and be numbered as one of the Master’s children. His hightst ideal was that he wanted to live close to the Savior and be admitted into His kingdom when life’s eventful journey is ended. God grant that his dreams may come true!” John Floyd of Philadelphia is ex pected here this weekend for a visit with his brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Floyd.

BETTER FARM LIVING 75% FOOD AND FEED PRODUCTION PROGRAM In an effort to do our part in the national program to produce FOOD FOR VICTORY my family and I plan to produce on our farm and conserve for home use in 1943 at least 75 percent of the food and feed needs of ourselves and our livestock. With this aim in view I hereby enroll myself and family in the 1943 Better Farm Living Seventy-Five Percent Food and Feed Production Program. AS A PART OF OUR PARTICIPATION IN THIS PROGRAM WE SHALL GROW A VICTORY GARDEN. We agree that our results shall be judged by a committee appointed by the County Agricultural Com mittee on the basis of a standard score card which will be sent to me. Signature- Date. Address, CANDIDATES LISTED FOR POSTMASTER Gaines, Hare, Beard Top Applicants For Anderson Office Anderson, Apr. 1.—The civil ser vice commission today announced that it had certified three appli cants as eligible for appointment as postmaster in Anderson. They are, in the order of ratin, Rufus H. Gaines, who is now assistant post master; James W. Hare, Anderson feed and seed dealer, and John W. (Bud) Beard, manager of the An derson rationing board. The civil service commissioner’s rating is based upon interviews with the applicants themselves and with a large number of Anderson citizens last December. No formal examina tion for applicants was held. Under regular procedure Con gressman Butler B. Hare, of the Third district, will now recommend the appointment of one of the three certified candidates to the President, who will, in turn, submit that in dividual’s name to the Senate for formal confirmation. Congreeman Hare is not bound to take the highest ranking candi- <Iate, and may, if he so desires, pass up that individual for the second or the third man on the list of eli- gibles. Sometimes, if the congressman wishes to appoint someone not in cluded on the list of eUgibles, the commission is asked to review and re-examine the rating of that indi vidual. This may or may not result in the lower rating applicant being placed on the eligible list. Mr. Gaines, who achieved the highest rating, has been associated with the Anderson postoffice for many years and has held the posi tion of assistant postmaster over several administrations. Mr. Hare is a nephew of the Third district congessman, and has been in busi ness in Andeson for about 10 years. Mr. Beard, the third approved ap plicant, is a former high school teacher and professional baseball playqr, who has been engaged in business in Anderson for many years. The list of applicants for the post- mastership was closed more than a year ago. The incumbent John E. Wiginton was not eligible to offer for re appointment because he is now slightly over the maximum age per mitted by the commission. Mrs. I. H. Wilson is a patient in the county hospital.

EZELL, County Agent Any farmer who has •not been reached with a regular enrollment card is requested to fill out the one above and mail it to‘ his county agent. As a War measure the Clemson ex tension service is endeavoring to en roll all farms in a “Food and Feed For Victory” program that has as its special aim the production of as nearly all the food for the folks and feed for the livestock on the farm in 1943 as possible. Governor Johnston has issued a proclamation, designating the week of April 5-10 as farm enrollment week and President Roosevelt had strongly commended the idea to the governor. As emphasized by county agent P. B. Ezell and Miss Ethel Counts, home demonstration agent of New berry county, the first duty of our farms in the war effort is to fortify that farm with foods and feeds to take care °f it. Then it will not have to call upon the commercial stocks of the nation that ’ are so urgently needed for the armed forces } and for lend-lease. “County goals f">r this enrollment have been set,” str.tes director D. W. Watkins of the Clemson extension service, “and we are hopeful they will be greatly exceeded. Farmers generally realize we are in this war and plan to do their utanost to help out. By enrolling in this food and feed production program we let the world know that we mean business and that the farmers here intend do ing their full part on the all-impor tant hom e front,’ concludes the di rector. Five hundred Newberry county farm families have returned '■ 1943 pledge cards. • WEDNESDAY “BEHIND PRISON WALLS” Alan Baxter and Gertrude Michael ADDED Selected Shorts Admission 9c and 15c all day O PERA HOUS E SATURDAY “BAD MEN OF THUNDER GAP” Tex Obrien and Jim Newill EDGAR KENNEDY Comedy and THE SECRET CODE Admission 9c—20c all day Wanted YOUR OLD ALARM CLOCKS.

You can spot it every time HTHE Civil Air Patrol has recruited more than a third of the -1- nation’s 100,000 civilian pilots to fly for national defense. Coming from every walk of life, they are putting forth an extra something to do their trained part. To them and to you, in its own way, ice-cold Coca-Cola offers some- • thing extra, too. More than just quenching thirst it brings refreshment... refreshment that goes into energy. Made with a finished art and with a taste all its own, Coca-Cola has quality that s^ts it apart. Here is something in refreshment that was, and still is, original. Coca-Cola offers all the difference between something really refreshing and just something to drink. There’s no comparison. Wartime limit* the supply of Coca-Cola. Those times when you cannot get it, remember: Coke, being first choice, sells out first. Ask for it each time. Even on the ground, pilots know that your thirst takes wings when you drink ice- cold Coca-Cola. Re- freshment comes to take its place. ' pba tax The best is always the better buy!
