Each troop of Scouts would like to attend camp this summer. This en tails some expense. The Scouts also enjoy rendering a public service. By putting on a scrap iron drive they accomplish two objectives, help to raise funds to attend camp, and at the same time render a public and patriotic ser vice. In their plans for this scrap iron campaign the city has been divided into sections and each troop assigned definite territory. Each troop will make it’s own plans for collection in their respective territories, very probably a house-to-house canvas. The Prosperity and Whitmire Scouts will each arrange a campaign in their communities. This i s a very worthy and com mendable undertaking by the Scouts and deserves the full cooperation of the public. This is only one of the many services which the Scouts are continually rendering. This is one of th e opportunities the public has to show its appreciation for their services. Let’s help the boys collect enough scrap to attend camp. There will be further annouhce- ments of this drive from time to time.—L. C. Graham, co-chairman of Salvage committee. Pvts. Thomas B.

The changes were announced to night by the office of price adminis tration. Removal of dry soups from the ration list was decided on so late that OPA already had distributed sample charts showing a one point per package value for dry soups in packages up to four ounces. These will have to be corrected by store keepers. Authorities acted from alarm over reports that wholesale stocks of dry soups had increased 80 per cent in March, due to a spurt in production, and much of the stock was in danger of spoiling due to warm weather. In the fall, thes e soups are expected to be rationed again. The cuts in juice .points, also due to slow sales, affect all popular fruit juices and tomato juices, exsept pine apple juice, which went up from 13 to 17 points on the popular No. 2 1-2 size can. Other can sizes of pine- i.pple juice remained the same. Graipe juice came down from 4 to 2 points for a pint and from 8 to 3 for a quart. Grapefruit and other citrus juices were trimmed in the No. 2 can size from 4 to 3 points, and the 46 ounce can from 9 to 4 points. Tomato juice was reduced in the No. 2 can size from 12 to 6 points and in the 46 ounce can from 22 to 11 points. In connection with vegetable juices. OPA removed ra tioning from all types except to mato juice and vegetables combina tions containing 70 per cent or more tomato juice. This freed car rot, sauerkraut, beet and similar juices. Among canned fruits, reductions were made on certain size cans of apples, berries, cherries, peaches, pears, plums and prunes. Increases hit certain sizes of canned apricots, frujt cocktail or salad, and. pinr apple. Among vegetables, decreases were ordered on certain sizes of catsup, canned carrots, leafy greens, sauer kraut, spinach, but hightr points were assigned “vacuum packed corn’’ (not ordinarily canned corn), and tomato paste. Canned corn on the cob was taken off the ration list, and also freed were canned green turtle soup, clam juice, clam broth and clam juice cocktail, all formerly on the canned soup list. The new values will be applicable to G, H and J blue coupons in ration book No. 2, which are good until the end of May. Officials said they ex pect no further revisions in point values until then. New values for red stamps on meat also go into effect Sunday. They generally increase by a point per pound the coupon cost of round steak and center pork chops, leave most other steaks and roasts un changed, and make one point per pound reductions for spareribs, brains, tongues and most other va riety meats. LUTHERAN WORLD ACTION Lutheran World Action is an ef fort on the part of the United Luth eran church in America, along with other Lutheran bodies to help “heal a broken world.” It is a call, an appeal of the United Lutheran church to its constituency for $1,- 000,000 to aid in giving our young men and women in the service of our country spiritual care, with tbe hope that those v/ho return may come back to us as strong or strong er spiritually than when they left us. It is also an effort to aid the thousands of Lutherans who have moved into defense centers to con tinue to receive the Gospel while away from their home churches by ministers who are sent to them. It is further an effort to give, where possible, what assistance we can to those of our young men who are prisoners of war. This aid is being given through the YMCA. Yet further it is an effort to cpn- tinue aid to Lutheran missions thru- out the world, whose financial sup port has been in part or completely cut off by war conditions. That all the information possible may be given to the Lutherans of the Newberry conference concerning this appeal the Lutheran Pastor’s association of the Conference, includ ing some congregations outside the conference, chose a committee to arrange a schedule for the exchange of pulpits on the second and third Sundays in May for the presentation I of this cause. $668,203.60 TOTAL IN WAR BOND DRIVE The drive in Newberry county for the sale of $400,000 in War Bonds, exceeded this quota by $268,000, or more than 50 per cent. The cam paign on th e final two days of the drive netted about $118,000, insuring for Newberry a medium bomber to bear the name “Spirit of Newberry.” Ned Purcell, chairman of the drive is highly gratified over the results. “Everyone cooperated heartily . and energetically’’ Mr. Purcell said “and I want to use this means of thanking all who had even a small part in the drive” he continued. “It was thru the cooperation of every individual and not necessarily the leaders which made the campaign such a big suc cess, although I am fully aware of the sacrifice of time the communitty leaders gave this job.” It is assumed that officials of the drive will be notified when the big bomber will be officially named for Newberry county. Following is a list of the quotas assigned and amounts raised. The first figure is tbe quota, the second amount actually raised: Whitmire $30,000—$148,099.00 Prosperity $8,000—$10,118.75.

DOWN MEMORY LANE 20 YEARS AGO Mrs. J. M. Sease, Miss Elocrta Sease and Dr. J. C. Seise spent last Wednesday afternoon in the canitol city.—Little Mountain it'-rr. G. B. Sac nur & Sons large furni ture sto.e nas been wonccrfully im proved in appearance by the work done on it. When one stands on Gilder & Weeks’ corner and looks westward' he is inclined to think he is in some metropolis—the new Com mercial bank building on one corner and this store just opposite makes a fine showing. If the property own ers on Caldwell street would reno vate the stores in front o# the old court house, “the old home town” would be in a “new world” indeed. The more they inquire into the House of David the more horrible conditions show up. It is surprising what people will do in the name of religion. Misses Lilli e Mae Workman and Brooks, of Chappells, are spending the weekend with Mrs. Henry Boozer in Main street. Misses Sara Caldwell, Lila Johns tone and Mrs. Claude Sligh motored to Columbia to hear Galli-Curci. Mrs. J. W. M. Simmons has re turned from an extended visit with relatives in Baltimore, Md., and Augusta, Ga., and Columbia. Cotton was quoted in Newberry Monday at 24 l-2c and cotton seed at 75c. SNAKE MAN USES GUN POW DER FOR WOUNDS Ocala, Florida.—A young Filipi no, employed here in a snake insti tute, tells he dramatic story of be ing bitten by an 18 foot king cobra and blasting the venom out of ija ; leg with gun-powder from a high- power cartridge. The man John A. Royola, has been bitten three times by cobras, but declared he was more interested than ever in capturing the deadly reptiles. He said the 18 foot snake which bit him had previously killed eight men. “The snake was in a warehouse,” Royola explained. “We went in there at night and burned rags to bring the snake out of the building. He came out, hissing, his hood rais ed about two feet in the air. I flash ed my spotlight into his eyes, blind ing him, carefully approached, and grabbed him back of the head. He wriggled in my grasp,” Roy ola continued, “ and got about 18 inches of his length free. Then he struck me on the leg. “I could see black blood moving upward as I whipped off my belt and tightened it above tbe knee for a tourniquet. I slashed into the fang marks, poured into the wound the gun powder from a high power cartridge and touched a match to it. “The explosion made quite a wound but it saved my life,” he ad ded seriously. He said the two other cobra bites he had suffered were treated in the same manner. Royola, scarcely more than five feet tall, started his hobby at the age of 12, when he was given a black- hooded cobra for a pet. His “hobby” has since turned into his business. He was hired »by the Rockefeller foundation when he was fourteen to help their expeditions capture cobras. He also did the same work later for the Philippine bureau of forestry. Royola is playing his part in the war effort by bringing back snake venom which is precious in the treatment of many diseases and more valuable in wartime than before.
