The Indians will meet two mem bers of SoutTi Carolina’s Big Four— Carolina and Citadel—and will play the other three teams of the Little Four—P. C., Wofford, and Erskine. Three North _ Carolina teams, in cluding Lenoir-Rhyne college, will appear on the local field next fall, as will Wofford. The battle with the fourth Tarheel eleven, Catawba, may be played^ in Charlotte. Laval sent fils hopefuls into their third week of spring grid drills at the college this week, with scrim mages and heavy work occupying most of the squad’s time. The New berry mentor is well pleased with the spring turnout, and Indian op ponents next year may face one of the best Redskin outfits in many years. The fall schedule: Sep. 28, South Carolina at Columbia; Oct. 5, Lenoir- Rhyne at Newberry; Oct. 11, Citadel at Charleston; Oct. 18, Elon at Newberry; Oct. 25, High Point at Newberry; Nov. 1, Wofford at New berry; Nov. 9, Catawba (place unde cided); Nov. 15, Erskine at Due West; Nov. 28, Presbyterian at Clin- City Awarded Federal Grants For Public Works Extension In the latter part of 1945, the Commissioners of Public Works in the city applied to the Federal Works Agency for one hundred and thirty seven thousand dollars for a sewerage treatment plant and for out-fall line improvements. This has been granted according to telegrams H. W. Schumpert, Chairman of the Commission, recently received from each of the following: Congressman Butler B. Hare, and Senators Burnet R. Maybank and Clin D. Johnston. Tomlinson Engineers of Columbia have been employed for this project but to date no engineering fees are available, but are expected to come through soon. In the early fall of 1945, the Com missioners also applied to this same agency for one hundred and two thousand, ninety-seven dollars, for another coagulation basin, two more filters and another finished water reservoir, together with necessary piping, pumping, chemicals and feed ers, etc. This will double the capa- Start Plans Anew for Agriculture Building A commission was appointed by a special act of the Newberry County Delegation in 1940 to erect an agri cultural building and a county mar ket building for Newberry County. Plans were drawn to erect these buildings on the lot behind the court house near the Junior High school on Martin street. However, the war interrupted the construction of the buildings before the plans could be completed. A committee composed of R. C. Floyd, chairman; Dr. Young M. Brown, vice chairman; Mrs. R. D. Wright, secretary; and Mrs. R. C. Carlisle, Mrs. Ollie Feagle Half acre, Jim Johnson, Leroy Wede- man, C. A. Bedenbaug’h and a Mr. Shealy of Little Mountain, has been named, and plans are again under way. If a suitable lot can be ob tained, construction of the buildings will be started at an early date. The Agricultural building will house all the agricultural activities of the county, and other agencies for which the county is paying of fice rent. This building will be constructed of brick, under the sup ervision of a competant architect and will be a very desirable addition to the business section of Newberry. The market building, as the name implies, will' be constructed of suit able, substantial material to provide a modern sanitary market. The total cost of both buildings will be approximately one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Februa y Good Month For Marine Recruits Captain Robert M. Richards, of ficer in charge of District Head quarters Marine Recruiting Station in Columbia, has announced that the month of February was the best month of Marine recruiting since volunteer enlistments were again authorized. The total number for South Caro lina was 41 first enlistments, in which James Guin, Jr., of Newberry is included, and 5 re-enlistments, making a grand total of 46. Captain Richards said that due to the urgent need for replacements , of veterans being discharged, the en listment quota of South Carolina has been increased from 36 to 139 men per month. Men can now enlist, the Captain added, “For duty in Avia tion units or for general service.” Enlistment periods are for two, three or four years. Information can be obtained by writing or calling in person at_ Marine Headquarters Re cruiting station, 1510 Gervais street, Columbia. In the Spring a young man’s fan cy begins to turn to thoughts of when the circus is coming to town. Nor are these thoughts confined to young men, for men and women of all ages also think along these lines. But this year the circus isn’t com ing to town, because -t is already here. The Newberry County Fair Grounds have been prepared for ac commodating a circus in winter quarters, and through the offices of the American Legion and Frank Sut ton, the Bailey Brothers circus was induced to spend the winter there. Bailey Brothers Circus is one of the largest in the country. In fact, it is the second largest establishment of its kind to travel entirely by truck. There is a fleet of 42 trucks owned and operated by the circus, but when it takes to the road the fleet grows to something like 65 trucks. This does not include trail er accommodations in which the some 400 employees live while on the road. The circus is completely equipped for the life of the open road with 20 house trailers, a portable light plant mounted on a truck, and a mobile kitchen for which one of the trucks serves. Some such elaborate preparation as this would seem to be necessary, too, for last year, according to the management, the show travelled 11,- 860 miles and gave their performance in 11 states. This year an even larger scale of operations is planned, the program calling for an itinerary of over 12,000 miles with perform ances being given in 16 states. Bob Stevens, of Bonham, Texas, is the manager of the show, and according to a statement from him, last year there were 1,029,000 paid admissions to the Bailey Brothers circus, and he says even better is expected of the 1946 season. The good weather of the past week or so has been utilized in getting equipment in order for the arduous schedule of the summer. Trucks and trailers are being painted, as is the other furniture peculiar to circuses. The show maintains its own carpen try and woodworking department, which is busy repairing the grand stand benches, shaping tei.t poles, making packing bo^es, and in gen eral piutting into travelling order whatever comes under their depart ment. Of striking interest, at least to j Newest Arrivals In Civvy Street White: James Ernest Floyd William Marvin Dominick Ishmoul Eugene Chapman Cleland T. Reed James A. Cabaniss Robert H.

ENLISTED TERMINAL LEAVE IS PREDICTED WASHINGTON, March 4.—Rep. Joseph R. Bryson of the fourth South Carolina district predicted late today that a bill granting ter minal leave pay for enlisted men. is “sure to become the law of the land —there's no way to stop it.’’ The Greenville congressman made his forecast a few minutes after he delivered a House speech in which he urged final action on the propo sal he had introduced a year ago. citizens of this community, is the “Newberry Wagon”. One of the vans has been converted into a huge sign advertising Newberry as the winter home of Bailey Brothers Circus. Identical signs have been attractive ly lettered on each side of this truck, and the legend reads, “Newberry, S. C., The City of Friendly Folks, Win ter Home of Bailey Brothers Cir cus.” According to Mr. Walter Nealand, the public relations coun sel for the circus, the management insisted on this gesture as a means of showing the appreciation on the part of circus personnel for the spirit with which the people of New berry lived up to their slogan, es pecially in their contacts with the circus. “These are the best winter quarters we have ever had,” Mr. Stevens said. “We want to come back in November.” The lettering on this wagon, as on a U of the show’s wagons, was done by Bennie Wells, a portrait painter by profession, and a circus sign-painter by hobby. The premier opening of the 1946 season will be given in Newberry at the Fair Grounds the first week in April. The official opening will be the Saturday performance, April 6th, but in order to make it possible for those to be present whom the Satur day business would otherwise pre vent, arrangements have been made to give one performance Friday night, April 5th. No circus would be complete with out elephants. With the Bailey Brothers show there are three, Mo doc, Empress and Judy, all owned by Dolly Jacobs. They consume daily a bale of hay, two bushels of oats and bran, and 10 pounds of salt. Capt. Enger has been training in Florida with his lion act, and was due to arrive this week to join the main body of the show at Newberry. The horses are in charge of Rudy Rudynoff, the trainer, his wife Erna, and their son, Rudy, Jr. Their act features dancing Arabian stallions. Besides these attractions, there are also bears, monkeys and other ani mals usually associated with a cir cus. Not all of them could be quartered here because of the lack of heating facilities for the bams. Mu sic for the show is furnished by a 14-piece band. Open house is held every Sunday, when all those interested in taking a look around are invited to come out and do so. Mr. Nealand reports that an average of around three thousand have been taking advan tage of this each Sunday. “Although we are glad to have them out any time,” he said, ..“we would rather have them on Sunday when we have time to show them around.” Between 45 and 50 thousand dol lars was spent by the Bailey Broth ers circus during the winter. A large part of this amount was spent locally, but due to the peculiar needs of such an establishment, there were many things that could not be obtained in the immediate vicinity. For instance, the elephants are described as very temperamental animals who refuse to eat anything but No. 1 Timothy hay, which has to be imported from Ohio. It is said that when they are offered the local pea-vine product, or lesipe- deza, they pick it up in their trunks, and toss it over their shoulders.

The Federal Agency has approved this project, which includes the en gineer fees, and the contractors se cured for this part of the project is James E. Gibson, Inc., engineers of Charleston. “We are hoping,” said Mr. Schum pert, “that the majority of this money will be n straight out grant for the municipalities, because the commission has only 25 per cent of the necessary funds available for this very necessary undertaking, which is certainly badly needed m Newberry.” Mr. Schumpert and Engineer, W. R. Wise are spending today (Thurs day) in Columbia, and will spend Friday in Charleston in regards to pushing the projects through 1 just as soon ag possible.
