THE NEWBERRY SUN
HIS SHIP THERE D DAY
The clipping below from the News
and Courier of August 25th will be
of some interest when it is known
that James F. Epting, Jr., known
here as “Sonny” Epting is a mem
ber of its crew. His parents now
live in Charleston where Mr. Ep
ting is employed as an electrician
at the navy yard. Young Epting’s
grandmother, Mrs. Thomas W.
Smith, lives here at 823 Boundary
street. His mother was the former
Louise Smith.
The clipping follows:
Rear Admiral E. L. Cochrane, U.
S. N., chief of the bureau of ships,
recently sent a telegram to the
Charleston Shipbuilding and Dry-
dock company commending two fleet
tugs, Bannock and Arikara, that
were built there for the part they
played in salvaging several naval
craft which had been grounded on
the Normandy coast during a heavy
storm.
Admiral Cochrane said that the
ships had made it possible for much
Allied shipping to be saved, which
otherwise would have been lost. Ad
miral Cochrane’s telegram further
said, “Our vast offenses in both ma
jor war theaters demand every ves
sel we can put into service. In help
ing to maintain our shipping facil
ities at maximum your vessels are
playing an indispensable role in the
war.”
Officials of the Charleston ship
building company expressed appre
ciation of the telegram and said that
they hoped that workmen would seek
employment there so that the sched
ules of ships now being built at the
yard could be maintained.

Miss Jane Summer, whose mar

cards sandwiches and cakes and
punch were served by the hostess.

roses which she w>ore during the
evening.
The hostesses assisted by their
mother, Mrs. A. J. Bowers, Jr., and
by Mrs. Homer Schumpert, served a
delectable two-course collation.
On Saturday afternoon, Vivian
Chapman added another lovely party
to the series for the popular bride-
elect. Two tables were placed for
bridge in the living room which was
bright with late summer flowers and
Jane’s place was designated by a
corsage made of vari-colored hand
kerchiefs. Becky Nell Stewart and
Mary Jane Hanna were lucky scor
ers and won attractive prizes, which
they .presented to the honoree, who
was also presented a pyrax shower
after refreshments were served by
the hostess, who was assisted by
Verna Kohn.
Mary Jane Hanna gave a lovely
bridge party for her on Saturday ev
ening at her home on Main street
when three tables were placed for the
games in a setting of bright fall
flowers. A corsage of white roses
centered with a red rosebud was used
to mark the honor guest’s place.
Rosemary Bowers won top score
prize, and Mrs. Roy Summer, bingo
and to the bride-elect was given a
piece of glass in chosen design.
Tempting sandwiches, cakes and
punch were served after cards were
laid aside.

bride-elect and Mrs. N. E. Dodson,
aunt of Lieutenant Ragland were in
