SMILEY BURNETTE AT WELLS’ IN PERSON MONDAY Smiley Burnette, retund comedian, who appears in person at the Wells Theater on Monday, March 4th, has never had a music lesson, nor can he read a note of music, yet he plays 52 different instruments. Son of parents who were both ministers, Smiley did odd jobs to purchase his first instruments from a small town music store, then as soon as he had mastered the first, he traded them back as “down payment” on others. Biy the time he was fifteen, he could play 15 instruments. Even with such a record, he plan ned to become an electrical engineer. Because he was able to play a har monica, he was asked to sulistitute for a musician on a small radio sta tion in Tuscola, 111. The substitu tion turned out to be a lengthy en gagement and Smiley became a “one man station.” He became manager, engineer, janitor, chief announcer and entertainer. He opened the station a* 7 A. M. and closed at it midnight. It was during one of his programs that Gene Autry, the master of cere monies on a Chicago network show heard Burnette playing the acicordian. He telephoned the station and Bur nette was invited to appear on Aut ry’s show. That began a mutually beneficial combination that lasted many years. In addition to acting and plaiying, Burnette is a successful composer, having written nearly 200 songs. Fifty of these he has published in a “Smiley Burnette Song Book” which has gained wide favor among his fans. THE INQUIRING REPORTER QUESTION: “Would you like to see a bus station and an agri cultural building erected on the vacant lot behind the Court House, which is large enough for both?” MRS. O. O. COPELAND, Clerk of D. P. Welfare: “I think there is a very definite need for each, but I am not sure that the location is best for both the agricultural building and the bus station.” GUY V. WHITENER, Lumber Dealer: “I don’t know too much about the agricultural building, not being a farmer, but Newberry cer tainly needs an up-to-date bus sta tion. If there isnt room on the lot for both buildings, I’d build the bus station because it is most need ed at this time.” JAKE WISE, Service Officer of Newberry County: “Yes, I would.” MRS. E. B. PURCELL, Bookkeep er: “I don’t think we ought to do anything until we get the parking situation settled. I think that is our greatest need right now; and after settling this problem, we can think about (these other things.” ROBERT H. HILL, Grocery Mer chant: “I think it would be mighty nice, and it certainly would improve the looks of that ugly lot which is almost in the center of the city.” CLEMSON WILSON, Ex. Direct or of the S. C. Unemployment Assoc.: “Yes, I would, because in Sumter and other counties an agricultural building has been used to house the state and government employees, in cluding the Department of Public Welfare, at a big saving to the state and county in rents.” LITTLE NEWS ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST Mrs. Jim Wheeler, Miss Mary Wheeler, Mrs. Metis Fault, and daughter^ Miss Delora Fan*, visited Jim Wheeler Sunday at the Veterans hospital in Columbia.

Drive for Red Cross Funds Begins Monday Newberrians will be called upon during the week of March 4th to fill the county’s quota of $10,225 in the National Red Cross Fund Drive. Although the war is over the need today for the Red Cross Is as great as it was during the crying days of the war, according to Mrs. Hannah R. Pool, executive secretary of the Newberry county Red Cross chapter. During January, 1946, Mrs. Pool handled 209 cases. Of this number 24 were home -visits to active service men and their families. She handled 40 inquiries and messages for the army a nd 15-for navy men. Informa tion was supplied to 14 army men and four navy men. Furloughs were verified for 21 army men and 14 navy men, and reports were secured for two servicemen on the health of their families. Mrs. Pool also se cured information for the Red Cross Field director for 6 army men and one navy man. She assisted 11 army men and one navy man with govern ment benefits. She had consulta tions with 18 army men and five navymen. For ex-servicemen and their families she assisted with four disa bility pensions, four death claims for pensions, hospitalization for four, vocational rehabilitation for four, information for 56, held 14 consultations, reported 6 for the veterans administration; answered one civilian inquiry; supplied eight civilians with information; rendered financial assistance to two civilians and financial assistance to four ex- servicemen. In addition to this, Mrs. Pool handles a large amount of overseas communications for servicemen. It is surpassing, Mrs. Pool states, how quickly and efficiently Red Cross acts, and Mrs. Pool is cer- tainly a part of Red Cross for while 'the writer sat in her office a Wes tern Union message was brought in. Mrsi. Pool immediately went to the iphone and called Whitmire and ask ed police officers there to contact a soldier and inform him that he had been granted a five-day furlough ex tension. She explained as she re sumed her conversation that the sol dier was to leave within an hour on the train and she was anxious to catch him before he left. A Red Cross message can go around the world in just 12 min utes, which typifies further the ef ficiency of the Red Cross. “I just wish everyone knew what a wonder ful organization the Red Cross is/’ Mrs. Poole added. Another example of the work of the Red Cross is brought nearer home in a letter written to Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Purcell by their son, Keitt, who is still in the European area. Keitt asked his parents to do nate an extra five dollars in appre ciation of the wonderful opportuni ties he has been privileged to enjoy under the Red Cross. He has gone on a number of educational tours to numerous historical places since the war ended, which have been planned and directed by the Red Cross. In addition there have been many other instances since he landed overseas that he can thank the Red Cross for the many courtesies rendered him and other servicemen. Servicemen here and abroad still need service kits and recently the lo cal chapter shipped 72, filled with many articles destined to add to the pleasure and needs of the recipients. Mrs. A. H. Counts, Publicity Chairman.
