Armfield Having spent 15 months in and about the hustle and bustle of the great Metropolitan area, New York City; long enough to become fairly well accquainfed with the world’s greatest city, my wanderlust began to get the better of my liking for Yankeeland, so I decided to transfer my interest to another point. The old saying that “grass looks greener on the other side of the fence” may be applicable in this case, but never theless, after three years of Civil Service and the War Department, decided to look at the United States from a political angle; >and right from the focal point of the nation. In order to do this, I have accepted a position in the office of the Hon orable Comton I. White, Member of Congress, from Idaho. En route from New York to New berry, I stopped by Washington to see Mr. White, and at the same time, called by the office of our cap able Third District Congressman, Hon. Butler B. Hare. Mr. Hare was a genial host, and on learning that this was my first visit to the Capi tol, offered to show me “law in the making.” While in thr House of Representatives, met Joseph Br^on of Greenville and Hon. Mendel Riv ers of Charleston. When intro duced as “Miss Armfield from New berry”, Mr. Rivers said, “Oh, the home of Judge Blease!’’ The House was in session, but since the speech es weren’t too audible to those of us in the gallery, wef went on to the Senate, where the nomination of six gentlemen for positions in the State Department was being discussed. Contented with seeing a familiar face—that of Hon. Burnet Maybank, and hearing a speech by Senator Bankhead of Alabama, I was ready to move on and see more of the building. Mr. Hare pointed out the “National Cuspidor” on the second floor with a warning not to stand under that spot in the first floor. We walked around Statuary Hall in the Capitol rotunda where stand the statues of great statesmen or other nationally famed persOi s;' two. pro vided by each state. The beautiful architecture of this building was originally planned by William Thorn ton, and continued by Latrobe and Bulfinch. Originally i* "n >•> of a main building of light yellow freestone, to which two wings of pure white marble have been added Over the centre rises an iron dome, 136 hi feet in diameter, and crown ing its apex is a statue of Freedom, 19^ feet high. In the Rotunda, and also in other parts of the build ing, are found many historical paint ings. The Capitol in only a few blocks from the beautiful Union Station in Washington, and anyone traveling through with a few hours wait should make it a point to go see this building. MY DAD The day is now approaching That is set aside for you That I may show my feeling And send my love to you. I owe you quite a lot. Dad, For all that you have done, And I am proud and glad That I could be your son. I’ve been the cause of worry, Of heartaches, that is true, And I can never half repay The things I owe to you. When things were going bad for me And I had to have a friend You were there beside me And stayed on until the end. So, on this day of memory, Dad, I send mjj love to you; May God return me safely To a Dad that’s always true. T. E. EPTING GIVEN FULL PROFESSORSHIP At the regular mid-session meet ing of the Board of Trustees of New berry College held here last week the recommendations of the Presi dent for peace-time operation were adopted.

ROOK PURCELL BROWN writes this Christmas card to her friends in Newberry from France, where she is stationed: Merry Christmas and best of cheer to everyone back home, to my fomily, to all my friends, the folks who live next door, the mail man who brings you my letters, the gro cer in our neighborhood store, the 1 gang in the drugstore where I buy my cokes, the bus driver on our run, all the people who would greet me with a warm “Merry Christmas” if I were there. Over here, we’ll be saying “Joy- eux Noel” but the meaning is the same in any language—Peace on earth, Good will toward men. On Christmas eve we will attend services in famous European cathe drals. but we’ll be remembering the sound of children’s voices caroling “Away In a Manger” a “white” Christmas with holly wreaths and tinsel everywhere, and Christmas tree lights shining out into the night. All day Christmas we’ll be re membering how it is at home. We’ll visit soldiers in field hospitals and talk with the combat men on rest leave, sharing our tree and turkey dinner, and the packages you sent Us back in October. But most of all we will enjoy telling each other about the little things that make our Christmas Day at home differ ent from anything else in the world. We hope it is just as w’e remem ber it and maybe next year we’ll be there, too. For now we can only write you and wish you “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.” WELLS THEATRE THURSDAY DAYS OF GLORY Tamara Toumanova and Gregory Peck Added - Liberation of Rome FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WILD BILL ELLIOTT in “Hidden Valiev Outlaws” Added HAUNTED HARBOR and EDGAR KENNEDY Comedy MIDNIGHT SHOW CHRISTMAS EVE Hilarious Comedv!

Perhaps it is because to me Christ mas has always meant a time when the family together celebrated this joyous holiday. *It is well to real ize, however, that not only ours, but practically every home in New berry county has been affected in the same way. It is for those of us who are left at home to see that the festive spirit remains a- live for the boys who will be re turning some day; and to hope that the hate that now exists over all the world will in some way change to the philosophy of “love for our fellow man”, preached by the man whose birthday occasions our celebration next Monday. To all those friends who have been so kind to me in the past, and who B have not been able to visit on my short and infrequent trips to New- ber-y, I would like to take this op portunity to wish your holidays happy ones, and the New Year filled with gladness and prosperity. with him the members of his family.

LOOKING DOWN MEMORY LANE 20 YEARS AGO A Christmas Hymn Near where the shepherds watched by night And heard the angels o’er them The wise men saw the starry light Stand still at last before them No armored castle there to ward His precious life from danger But. wrapped in common cloth oui Lord Lay in a lowly manger. No booming bells proclaimfcd His birth, No armies marshalled by, No irons thunders shook the earth No rockets cloud the sky; The temples builded in His name Were shapeless granite then, And all the choirs that sung His fame Were later breeds of men. But while the world about Him slept, Nor cared that He was born One gentle face above Him kept Its mother watch till morn; And if His baby eyes could tell No roar of gun, no boom of bell Were worth the look of her; Now praise to God that ere His grace Was scorned and He revealed He looked into His mother’s face A little helpless child; And praise to God that ere men strove About His tomb in war One loved Him with a mother’s love Nor knew a creed therefore. —Selected MRS.
