MASS MEETING OF
FARMERS TODAY
The farmers of Newberry county
are asked to attend a county wide
mass meeting which will be held at
the County Court House, Friday,
November 17th at eleven o’clock.
This meeting is being called for “the
purpose of organizing a Newbefry
County Farm Bureau.
The South Carolina Farm Bureau
organization was set up a few
months ago by a group of leading
farmers representing all counties in
the state. Since that time 29 coun
ties have organized farm bureau
units.
During the past several years,
groups of people in the nation,
other than farmers, organized them
selves together. The steady progress
and power of these other groups is
becoming more apparent day by
day. Unless the farmer is also a
member of a strong organized group,
his interest and welfare will continue
to suffer at the hands of others.
Mr. Robert R. Coker, president,
and David R. Hopkins, executive sec
retary, of the South Carolina Farm
•Bureau, wil be present at the meet
ing to discuss the aims and princi
ples of the farm bureau and what It
hopes to accomplish in South Caro
lina.
This important meeting is being
sponsored by the following farmers:
A. E. Reese, John F. Scurry, J. W.
Abrams, J. T. McCrackin, C. T.
Smith, H. O. Long, R. C. Floyd, D.
A. Bedenbaugh, J. Alvin Kinard,
Daniel L. Ruff, together with many
other prominent farmers of the
county.

R emember Corregidor? Remember the
pictures of grinninf Japanese soldiers
guarding American prisoners? We're out
to wipe the grins off their faces. We’re out
to liberate thousands of American soldiers
and civilians still in Jap prisons. That day
can come only with final victory.
We’re out to finish the job the Japs
started. The 6th War Loan Drive is part of
the great national effort to win quick vic
tory in the Pacific. The cost of victory
comes high. It costs billions of dollars •
month to fight Japan I But we know you’ll
do your full share, as you have in all the
other war loan drives. Your full share is at
least one extra $100 War Bond. Buy More
if you possibly can. War Bonds are your
best insurance of a safe, independent future.

The Sixth War Loan drive gets
1 under way officially Monday under
I the direction of permanent chairman
E. B. Purcell. Mr. Purcell, like
state and national leaders realize
that this will be the hardest loan to
put over but they are determined
t with the cooperation shown by work
ers in the past to leave nothing un
done which would insure its success.
Those who work in the Sixth War
Loan drive will be doing so at con
siderable sacrifice and their task
should be made as easy and as plea
sant as possible by the general pub
lic. They are taking time'from their
businesses or professions to work in
the drive and Mr. Purcell asks that
they be received with a welcome and
that everyone buy as many bonds as
they possibly can.
State Director Christie Bennett
has issued the following statement
concerning this vital Sixth War Loan
drive:
“The war is far from being over.
The biggest and most important
and most expensive phase of it is
just beginning. Our men on the
fronts of the world are facing their
most severe tests and the moments
of their greatest danger. There
was never a time when it was more
necessary for the people at home to
make certain not only that our
fighting men have every possible
implement for their sutcess and
their safety, but to give them the
comforting knowledge that we at
home are supporting them to the
limit. One of the vital things we
are asked to do is buy bonds. In
the Sixth War Loan, that duty of
all of us will be heavier than ever.
Now is the time to line up in sup
port of the things we believe in.^

to volunteer only to be rejected be
cause he couldn't read and write.
Pip told them that he didn’t want
to write to the Japs, he just wanted
to shoot them. He is still anxious
to get in the service because he
“could be of more help to Uncle Sam
than being in jail doing nothing.”
