POLES HEADING FOR FRANKFURT The Lublin radio announced Fri day, May 11th that 1,000 Poles, the first group to be settled in Frankfurt on the Oder in Germany would ar rive there in a few days to assume posts in the local government, indus try, commerce and communications. The announcement, from a radio operated by the Soviet-recognized Polish regie and reported by OWI, recalled the Big Three’s Yalta conference decision to award some German territory to Poland in ex change for Poland’s surrender of some of its eastern territory to Rus sia. The Yalta conferees said the final delision on Poland’s new west ern frontier should await the peace conference. Frankfurt on the Oder, an in dustrial city of some 75,000, is 50 miles southeast of Berlin by rail, situated on the west bank of the Oder river in the province of Bran denburg. Lublin said groups of Poles would be transferred there “in connection with the resettlement of people in ancint Slav land that now re turns to the mother country.” Frankfurt on the Oder was in Polish hands before the 13th cen tury, when it became Germanic in the spread of Teutonic influence. It withstood a siege by the Poles in 1450. Other groups of Poles already have been resettled in German ter ritory overrun by the Russians. A Polpress dispatch from Warsaw on April 20 said the first of several thousand of Polish peasants were moving to new homes in East Prus sia, western Pomerania and Silesia. On March 22, the Polish press agency in Moscow said provisional President Boleslaw Beirut had told the first Polish troops to reach the Baltic that Poland would get the seaports of Danzig and Stettin, as well as the prewar sea outlet of Gydnia.

C. son of Mrs. Epsie Buz- hardt, was sonfewAi^t seriously wounded in action on Okinawa Is land, according to a letter from the War Department, received Monday by Major Buzhardt’s mother here.

Lieut. S. D. “BOZO” PAYSING- ER, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Pay- singer, has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant from flight officer and also promoted to “Dead Reckoning^ Navigator and leader of a squadron of planes. Lieutenant Paysinger writes his parents from England: “For the past few days I have been leading aerial sight-seeing tours over Ger many. It is really interesting and we get a chance to see what the country looks like.” EARL W. DICKERT, S I-c, son of John W. Dickert of Pomaria, helped take a new U. S. Cruiser ship into battle for the first time on March 18th against the Japanese in the Pa cific. Her guns sent two Japanese bomb ers crashing into the sea not far from Japan, and the carriers she de fended so well are free to launch their planes. “Business as usual” was the plan of the day, and outwardly the offi cers and men carried on as if they had no notion of the imminence of battle. But they all knew just over the horizon lay the mainland of Jap an. Within each officer and man there was mounting tension that made it self known in little things. A few Bibles appeared, some new, some dog-eared and worn; there was more loud laughter than usual, more zeal ous attempts at horse-play. A quiet checking of battle gear, or the stud ied writing of letters gave evidence of serious thought. Men asked each other what difference there was be tween a Jap plane and the hundreds of targets they had so efficiently knocked from the skies. Shortly after dawn, when the first Jap “Betty’’ stole through a curtain of ack-ack and let loose its bombs, the men knew there was a differ ence. The next plane did not get through; it dissovled in the focal fire of a barrage from the ships of the task force. A third one, intent on sowing destruction on the deck of a carrier, broke through, but it was riddled with flack and diverted. Other planes came in to meet the fierce anti-air craft fire of this cruiser an other shios of the force, but they were re pelled. The carriers moved on toward their goal. That evening the Captain of this newly-baptised cruiser spoke from his station on the bridge to the men at their battle stations. The planes of reurning U. S. Airmen speckled the sky as they maneuvered from landings. The Captain’s words were proud: “Objective realized. . .losses of task force aircraft light. . .damage to enemy severe. “For this ship, two Jap planes; one probable. For you of the crew, well done, shipmates!” The Jap is aware that a new ship has joined Uncle Sam’s first team.

Friends of Mrs. Hunt are invited to attend. A county-wide mass meeting was held at the county court house Sun day afternoon with some 700 peo ple present, representing all sec tions of the county. They listened attentively to talks about the 7th War Loan drive which began Mon day morning. The meeting opened with the aud ience singring “Stars’ Spangled Ban ner,” the singers accompanied by the Newberry band, after which the flag bearer, Howard Parks, entered with the flag and the allegiance, led by Wright Cannon, was repeated. The prayer was by Rev. H. C. Rit ter of the Methodist church. Prof. T. E. Epting introduced Judge Neal W. Workman and the three guest speakers, recently lib erated from German prison camps. In making an appeal for the 7th War Loan, Judge Workman said this drive should be dedicated to the mothers on this Mother’s day and to the mothers who have lost sons in the service. He further l started that the firing in Europe was over but that war had not stopped, and would go on for a long time, until the peace people once knew is re stored. He said that if there ever was a time which justified buying war bonds it was now. Following Judge Workman’s talk, a solo, “America, The Beautiful” was sung by A.p. Seaman Kermit A-l berson, a Newberry V-12 student, being accompanied by Miss Mazie Dominick on the piano. The first gruest speaker introduced was First Lieut. King Boyd, who said that the stories of German atrocities were not overdrawn. He said that it would have been impos sible for them to have survived but for Red Cross food parcels. Sgt. Ralph Fellers spoke next. He said he did not know what a good country the U. S. was until he crossed the pond.” The only food he got as a prisoner was sugar beet pulp after the sugar had been re moved and one potato a day. Sgt. Fellers related how when first taken prisoner he was beaten and treated very cruelly, until a crowd of them got together and went to the prison h«ad and told him ’they would see that his name went on the list of watr criminals unless better treat ment was received. They got bet ter treatment as a result. Sgt. Fel lers said the first truck he saw af ter the Russians liberated him was an American jLend Lease truck and he was so overcome by the sight of it that he rushed over and patted it. Pvt. Larry Bouknight told how he walked 22 miles in one day with out food or water and that when guards were not looking they would quickly snatch a handful of snow to quench their thirst. He said they lived four days in a box car, and for the first eight days the only food was a single piece of bread an da* small piece 'of cheese. He said the guards and civilians took all the Red Cross packages. He declared it was “swell’ to be back in this country. The guest speakers were all lav ish in their praise of the Red Cross and for the devotion of the home front in producing war supplies. The meeting was presided over by Bond Chairman Mayor E. B. Purcell, who said Newberry had al ways goes well over the top and that he was not in the least wor ried that she would not do so again in the “Mighty 7th.’ “The people of Newberry have always done their part, and they will do it again”, he said. “We are not going to let down our fine boys out there fight ing and giving their blood to make this a decent world to live in,” the mayor concluded. ASSISTANCE IN VOCATIONAL COUNSELING The United States Employment Service is inaugurating a program of Employment Counseling to appli cants who are not occupationally ad justed and who desire assistance in vocational counseling.

S. E. S. office can provide voca tionally unadjusted applicants with better service. CONGRESSMAN HARE’S NAME BADLY MUDDLED It’s bad enough for pressure groups to flood his office with let ters and telegrams against proposed cuts in government expenditures, but to make matters worse, says Rep. Butler B. Hare of the Third South Carolina district, some of the pro testing parties don’t spell his name correctly. One of the messages in the stack on a table in the Saluda congress man’s office today was addressed to “Butler Haire,” another to “Butler Black Hair,” and the_ prize specimen, “Harry Butler, chairman of the House appropriations committee.” Mr. Hare actually is chairman of the subcommittee of the House ap propriations' committee. $1.00 PER ANNUM Looking Down MEMORY Lane TWENTY YEARS AGO The formal opening of the new Jonnstone school will take place Thursday night May 14, when an in teresting program will be carried out, and several prominent speakers from the State department of educa tion-will be present.
