S EEING his two squads of infantry pinned down by enemy machine-
gun fire, Lt. Beryl R. Newman, Fargo, N. D., boldly advanced,
wounding two with his Tommy gun and chasing two others into a house.

kicked in the door of the house and forced eleven armed enemy gunners to
surrender. He was awarded the Medal of Honor. Victory Bond investments

SAYS WORLD END ON
FRIDAY P. M.
PASADENA, Calif., Sept. IS—
Rev. Charles G. Long, who predicts
the world will come to an end Fri
day, held a press conference today
rnd announced that the exact time
would be 5:33 p. ni.
He said he did not know whether
the hour would be Jerusaem or Cali
fornia time. If Jerusalem time, he
said the hour would be 7:33 a. m.,
California time.
The 72-year-old Pasadena prophet
and his son, Richaiu, 32, left a loop
hole, however. They said there might
he a delay until the fall of 19-16.
Richard, taking the floor, read this
statement:
"The exact time of the end of the
world, or the last age in which shall
be the consumation of all things and
the sudden appearing of Jesus
Christ in the clouds of heaven, was
revealed to Rev. Charles G. Long one
day in September, 1938, in a won
derful vision.
“The appointed time of the second
coming of Christ and the end of the
world is September 21, 1945, which
is the 14th day of the seventh month,
according to the sacred Biblical cal
ender, which began March 14 this
year.
‘IBut according to the parable of
the 10 virgins, found in Matthew 25:
1-5, wo note that there is a delay of
the advent of Christ—Habakkuk 2-
1-4, and Hebrews 10:35-38. There
fore, we may expect His coming de
layed a few days until the 29th of
September, which is the last day of
the feast of tabemackles.
“But if Christ is’ to delay his com-
,ing, according to the civil Biblical
calendar, which began on September
8, 1945, then we may reach until the
fall of 1946.
“Prepare to meet thy God.”
Richard gave up his job as mana
ger of a large Pasadena market, he
said, because he believed the end was
near.
B. M. (BOO) SCURRY returned

ing a few days at his home here on

45 DAY FURLOUGHS
FOR VETERANS
Washington, Sept. IS.—Soldiers
back from overseas but destined for
more army duty now are being given
45 days off instead of 30.
War department officials said to
day that commanders are being in
structed to allow returning soldiers
who are not being discharged to
have 45 days “temporary duty.”
Under this system the returnee
applies for temporary duty at a
place of his own selection, usually
at or near his home town. He is free
to do as he pleases during the 45
days, the only requirement being
that he report initially to the place
he selected for temporary duty.
Soldiers now on 30 day temporary
duty who are to remain in the
service wijl have their time extend
ed 15 days to provide the full 45
day period. In most cases they will
be notified of the extension by their
commanding officers. They should
not remain beyond the 30 days
unless this notification is received.
The “temporary duty” provision
is made under a rest and recupera
tion measuer allowed under Army
regulations. A soldier on regular
furlough pays for his own transpor
tation, but on temporary duty his
fare is supplied by. the army.
CHAMBER SECRETARY HEARD
AT ROTARY MEETING
Secretary L. Clifton Graham of the
chamber of commerce, was the prin
cipal speaker at the Newberry Rot
ary club’s regular luncheon at the

Mr. Graham spoke most interest
ingly of the untiring efforts of the
chamber of commerce to secure an
airport for Newberry, which efforts
have extended over a period of
years. Other organizations and in
terested citizens lent their assistance
and, although it appeared at times
that these endeavors would meet
with disappointment.the “never say
die” spirit was always manifast, the
result being that the airport is now
under construction and will be rush
ed to completion.
Lieut. Larry Graves, who served
as a navigator in the Air Forces and
has just been released from the ser
vice, spoke of the importance of an
airport and his pleasure at seeing
one established in Newberry.
Mr. Theodore Able, of Pittsburg,
was the guest of his son, Rotarian
Ted Able.
Lieuts. Arnold, Ford and Nichols,
of the V-12 unit of Newberry college
were received as honorary members
of the club.
The meeting was presided over
by President Frank Sutton, with
Rotarian Tom Hicks as official
“hymn hister” and Mrs. J. E. Wise
man, accompanist.
SUGAR SHORTAGE OVER
THE WORLD
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—Re
flecting worldwide shortages the
Amerian civilian supply of sugar for
the October-December quarter will
be 28 per ct. smaller than the aver
age for the first three quarters.
The civilian supply—for home, in
stitutional and industrial users—
was announced by the Agriculture
department today as 382,000 tons.
Normally, consumption is smaller in
the last quarter than any other quar-
but not to the extent of the reduced
allocation.
In the final quarter of 1944, civi
lian consumtion totaled 1,544,000
tons.
Civilian supplies for 1945 will to
tal 5,092,200 tons compared with 0,-
141,000 tons consumed in 1944. This
will provide, the department said,
the civilian per capita supply of 73
pounds this year compared with 89
pounds last year and 96 pounds for
the pre-war years of 1935-39.
Supplies are expected to continue
low during the first part of 1946.
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
said rationing of sugar probably will
continue into 1946.
