I TELEPHONE ONE IF YOU HAVE VISITORS OR ANY OTHER NEWS ITEM THANK YOU ALL KINDS OF COMMERCIAL PRINTING AND ENGRAVING PHONE NO. ONE VOLUME NINE; NO. FOUR NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1946 $1.00 PER ANNUM With THE BOYS In Service Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Dennis received the following letter last week from A. M. Carroll, Jr., who was their son, Calvin Dennis’ division officer at the time of Calvin’s death: “My Dear Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Den nis; “At this time when you are burd ened with great sorrow, I wish to extend to you my deepest sympathy Just an hour ago I retumed from the United States Armed Fortes Ceme tery located just a few miles outsid of Tacloban, Leyte, P. I. Our Chap lain, Mr. Kelly, and I took Thompson to Leyte this morning in a B-25 air plane. We left here at 8:30 in the morning and arrived at Leyte at about 11:00. After arriving at the airfield we took your son out to the cemetery where the funeral services were held at 1:00. The cemetery is situated in a beautiful valley just a shox'- distance from the ocean. It is a very impressive sight to see those rows and rows of little white crosses, which total nearly nine thousand, with beautiful green mountains make a splendid background. There is a little white picket fence running clear around the grounds. In the foreground hangs the American flag at half mast at all rimes and on both sides of the flag pole are beautiful hedges which form stars and other clever patterns. One could go round the world and not fine a better main lined cemetery. I hope by the time this little note of sympathy reaches you that you will have pictures of these grounds. These pictures can describe to you better how the grounds look where your dear Son lay in eternal sleep; awaiting the judgement day, than I could ever describe to you on paper. When we arrived at your Son’s grave there was a guard of honor waiting for us. They saluted Thompson’s f'xg-drapped coffin as it was removed from the car by their comrades and carried by them to your Son’s grave. Chaplain Kelly then continued the services which were brief in time, but impressive as any service could possibly be. Upon the completion of Chaplain Kelly's services the guard of honor fired three shots into the heavens. Sec onds afterwards the bugler sounded taps while Thompson was lowered to rest. This concluded the most im pressive service that my eyes have ever witnessed. We at Palawan are holding a memorial service for your Son this Friday and I can assure you now that our little chapel will be filled with Thompson’s many friends; friends that one can only make after a year of being together; answering mail call together, shar ing one another’s hardships, consult ing with one another over their wor ries, etc. By now you will have learned how Thompson lost his life that tragic evening, so I need not repeat. I might say, though, that everything humanly possible was done for your Son. We who are left behind feel sorry for Thompson but I imagine that he is looking down upon us this minute and discovers that we are .he ones to be felt sorry for. Thomp son, no doubt, is resting peacefully in heaven; this will be a prayer of mine at all times. Really, when 1 look at it critically, Thompson needs none of our sympathy, but I and also his friends feel deeply for you, his loved ones, who are left behind. I imagine that by now you won der who the writer of this letter is. I would like to introduce myself by- saying that, for the past three months, it has been my privilege to work with your son as his division officer. During that short time Thompson and I became good friends. We have drank cokes and chocolate Toddy’s together; yes, even a beer now and then at our little departmen tal parties. He has never caused me or any of his associates the least bit of trouble. On numerous occasions we have called upon him to help out our other departments when work piled upon them and, always, Thomp son responded in grand style. It goes without saying, Mr. and ’ Mrs. Den nis, you both have every right in this world to be proud of" your grand son. May God bless you all in this time of great sorrow. This little letter is being passed around to Thompson’s closest bud dies for them to read, to describe +heir personal feeling for Thompson and, finally, to sign. In closing, if you ever get up to Illinois I do wish that you would stop off at Waukegan and look me and my family up. We live at 414 South Sheridan road. , Very sincerely yours, A. M. Carroll, Jr. Ensign (sc) U.S.N.R. To date Mr. and Mrs. Dennis have heard no other word about their son’s death than the telegram they received shortly after he was killed in an explosion on April 13.

The Newberry Broadcasting com pany was notified on Friday, May 17, that the Federal Communications Commission had approved their ap plication to operate a radio station in Newberry. The station will oper ate on a frequency of 1240 kilocycles, with a power output of 250 watts, with hours for broadcasting unlimit ed. The studios, transmitter and tow er will be located on College streeet extension on property formerly own ed by R. D. Smith. The site is north across the county road from Smith’s Pond. The call letters assigned the Newberry station by the FOC are WKDK. John F. Clarkson is president and C. A. Kaufmann, executive vice- president and manager of the station. George Martin is chief engineer. The station and technical design was pre pared by R. L. Easley, consultant en gineer. Announcers and other personnel will be selected later. The policy of the station will be to serve the city of Newberry and Newberry county. The slogan of station WKDK will be “The Voice of the City of Friendly Folks.” The station has acquired the Associated Press news franchise , and will serve the community with 24 hour news service. Local news, also wlil be broadcast daily. WKDK programs will be designed to serve the civic, agricultural, cultural and religious life of the community. WKDK will be a network affiliate within 3 short period after it is on the air. The network probably will be ABC or Mutual. Construction on the station will begin, immediately and the station should go on the air during the summer. An FM (frequency modulation) transmitter will be installed later using the same tower and studios, this providing the new static-free perfected reception for WKDK list eners. . Newberry has a worthwhile asset in a radio station because it will be of service to the city, county, and surrounding counties, and will promote the growth of Newberry as a shopping center.

It was a cruel and heart less thing to do and it hurt me more than it did him but unless his morals improve ere another week has pass ed I will have to cut more of his tail olff—right down to his back, in fact. What did he do? Why he stayed out until 2 A. M., just like a lot of people, and he made a lot of noise and annoyed people, just like some people. But don’t take it too hard, dear little brats, just watch next week and see if we are able to re store his tail or cut off the rest of it. Same time, same station. See you then!

Ellerbe has many trucks and Fred has a Jeep. I have a Mod el T, purchased of Bill Buford. $100 it cost, $25 down and the balance in 12 easy payments at 6 per cent in terest, purchaser to pay for revenue stamps and recording fee, I thought I would be able to make the payments with produce from Awful Acres since the persimmon and blackberry -crop is very promis ing, and I thought I could turn a neat penny from hauling pinestraw for people for their pi« .pens. I haven't anything f^N&^iphiarket just yet but thought it well to see if I could get through so as to be able to move my perishables in a hurry when ready. Messrs Spearman and Epps • had been scratching around on my road but there are still some bad places, and because of one of' these places my Model T is sitting silent and alone out in the field as I write this stuff Saturday night. Fearing to try to go through the mud I directed Billy to take the wheel and follow me as I blazed a path across a field in order to cut around the bad spot. Half-way around the low-gear band wore out and’Operations Awful’Acres came to a dead standstill. Since the reverse was good I conceived the bright idea of turning the darn thing around and backing up to our destination. (I was also going to back-up all the way home on the re turn trip.) I backed about a hund red yards across ditches and old core rows whe n all of a sudden it back ed no more. Yep, the reverse was gone, too. I switched off the key just in time to see the radiator cap fly 50 feet into the air and with it 50c worth of stuff I put in the wa ter to keep the damn thing from leak ing. I walked four miles back to town The sun was as hot as blazes and thunder roared angrily off to the west. From as far as I could see slteam was still shooting out of the radiator and the “T” seemed to buck up ever now and then and leap into the air, only to fall back again, flat as a pancake. I am going out there Monday and drag her in if she has cooled off enough and if you know anyone who has a good bull and cart they would swap for a Model T, see me. Other wise, look out Bill Buford.

An old negro nearby heard of it and wanted to know if he could have some of the old planks to build himself a privvy. “My privvy jes’ about gone ’n ruint”, he declared. I told him to go and get the plank and build himself a nice man-sized privy, one which would be a comfort and a pleasure. Something to treasure and to look forward to using. The one he had was leaning at a 45 degree angle and I asked him how he managed to use it. “You jes’ has to soj-t of double up boss,” he said. I have just about the same sort of privvy on my farm and I am going to put a fence around it and preserve it for posterity. Old time privies are fast passing from the farm scene and with it something of the past oral beauty of the farm. I remember those privies from my youth. There was the big hole, the middle hole and Being always an am bitious devil I tried the big hole with disastrous results. I didn’t mind those privies in the summer time but it was sparan business to use one ol them in winter with i; v winds swirl ing up through those holes. I ofteji contrast toilet accommoda tions of today with those of many years ago. Today here is the mod ern bathroom to which one may re pair before retiring. I n my youth we four brothers went to the front porch and lined up on the edge to see which one could top the rose bush Then we washed out feet in a tin tub and went to bed. A significant trend of the times is shown in the fact that for the first time in the ninety years of the history of Newberry College the number of Bachelor of Science de grees will outnumber those given in the traditional Bachelor of Arts. Forty young men and women are candidates for degrees this year. The graduating exercises will be held in the gymnasium Monday morning June 3, at 10:30 a. m. The address to the class will be delivered by Dr. Archibald Rutledge, jpoet laureate of South Carolina and popu lar artbor. The honorary degree ot Doctor of Lieterature conferred upon him recently-jby the University of North Carolina was the tenth he has received. The sermon to the class will be preached by the Rev. G. Elson Ruff, Litt.D., of Philadelphia, Pa., editor of The Lutheran, the official publi cation of the United Lutheran Church in America. Dr. Ruff married a South Carolinian. At 8:30 p m. in Holland Hall the Newberry College Singers will rend er a program. President James C.

The stuff was called “Suggestion of Sin”, or some such title. I thought of the great differ ence in sweet-smelling women now and when I used to visit my girl cousins at grandfather^ annual re union. The girls then used Hoyt’s German cologne and they bought it in six ounce bottles. And did that stuff smell good! I don’t know where they put it but I do know that there wasn’t room behind their ears for the amount they used. Maybe they rubbed it on their tummies. I don’t know. I know this though, you didn’t have to go about sniffing the air, to get your lungs full of good-smell- ing stuff. It floated on the air, like heat waves o n a hot pavement. You could almost reach out and grab it by the handful. A picnic ground full of those pret ty girls wearing big picture hats and stiff white dresses—and that sweet stuff swirling around you! Well, old Adam thought he found paradise. The old boy just didn’t know. And another thing about those girls. You had no trouble finding their waist line Today a woman’s waist line will be found anywhere between her knees and her chin, de pending on where Paris wants to put it. Those old-fashioned girls bulged fore and aft in soft, grace ful lines. They ate corn bread and beans and mutton corn and were hefy in the right places. Good girls, nice for feeling purposes. Today girls starve thmselves in order to be slim and while I am too old to do much feeling around I imagine they feel about like a bunch of kindling in a tow-sack. I saw a woman preparing herself for a party the other night. She took out a bottle of perfume about the YOU CAN take my word for it. Building is cerbtinly a nightmare these days. I have been trying to remodel an old building at my town es/tate and erect a small one at my farm at the same time. Unable to buy brick I have been buying old chimneys and raiding my wife’s flower beds. I have cleaned so many old brick bats that when I see one in the road I feel like get ting down tnd patting it as an old friend. In order to get some lumber I tore down an outhouse which was covered with good 5-V tin and this I used for about a third of my roof. After I had nailed down good and fast, along comes Gene Spearman and said take it off; roof’s too flat and will leak. I took it off, and put on roll roofing aihough I had in an order for $50 worth of aluminum roofing Now I have 50 badly needed bucks tied up in shiny new aluminum roofing and owe Bcb Lom- inack $25 for the roll roofing. In case you are interested, the alumi num roofing is 5-V type, 16 pieces 8 ft and 16 pieces 7 ft, about five and a half squares in all. It’s pretty stuff and I will sell it at a slight discount. Bob wants his money. I also found that cement was scarce, too. I went to work one morning and found that Tom, my mortar man, had made up a box of red mud and the mason had already laid 200 brick with this gooey mess. I made them tear it down despite Tom’s protest that red mud was bet ter mortar than that made of ce ment. Out at the Acres I am building a 12x20 edifice and sheeting it with boards used for ceiling a tenant house. The negro who lived there for 20 years plastered a new coat of newspapers on the wall each year and m yhouse looks something like a frizzled white chicken, but I figure when I get some of that brick siding stuff on it no one will ever know the difference. This little house is perhaps the only one in captivity which was floored before it was covered. That came about because the flooring happened to be on top of the pile of Public Cooperates In Clean-Up Campaign TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I wish to take this medium through the press to thank all of those who cooperated so unselfishly in the Clean-Up Fix-Up Campaign whibh has come to a close. It is good to know that we have so many fine citizens who are in terested in the beautification and cleanliness of our good town. It is evident in touring around the city that much good was accomplish ed during the campaign; such as the clearing of lots, painting of build ings and the planting of shrubbery and flowers.

The floor has bucked in places, but nothing so serious that a 40 penny nail won’t fix. Window sash are scarce, too. I wanted some little two-piece sash around which I could put some frilly little pink curtains, but no soap. Cyril Hutchinson finally dug up three single sash of one kind and one each of two other kind. There will have to be hinged at the side, and out the window goes another of my efforts to be artistic. But noth ing can stop my main effort to be artistic. That is the object back of the house. For years I have seen pictures in the papers of girlr doing rythmic dances in night go ns and I have always had a secret ambition to do tat kind of dance in my shirt tail. A girl can get by with,_ putting on a night gown and cavorting around but society just isn’t ready for a man doing the same in his shirt tail. Out at the Acres, far off the beat en trail with only crows and rabbits to watch me, I feel I can give ex pression to the art which undoubt edly is in my soul When I get the artistic urge I can go out to my little house, pull off my britches and go into my dance. I can sprint across the cotton rows, leaping and pointing at the North star; then down a cor n row, flinging my arms and grabbing for the clouds. Breath less, I will fall down and stick my feet into the air, one foot pointing at Mars and the other at Venus, or maybe the Big Dipper. Up again, my shirt-tail whipping the air I will make a grand dive for my branch and swim—gracefully, easily with measured strokes, the bony parts of my old carcass cutting the water like the prow of the Queen Eliza beth! You’re don-gone, dab-blamed right, I’m going to get this artistic urge out of my system if I have to wear out a dozen shirt-tails in the at tempt!

C. Breakfast Club AFTERMATH. I went out Sunday morning to see if my Model T had cooled off sufficiently to be brought home. I went out with Billy in the Chevrolet and we decided to try out a new road Messrs Epps and Spear man are making into the Acres. Yes, of course, we got stuck. I borrowed a shovel from and old colored wo man, “Aunty” Thompson Glenn, one of my Acres neighbors, and sat down in the shade while Billy dug the dar n thing out of the mud. He hadn’t done anything for two and a half ■years except sponge off of Uncle Sam’s army and I thought a little digging wouldn’t hurt him. Besides, it was hot and the shade was nice. I saw a little road off to the left which cars had traveled and I asked “Aunty” who lived there. “Dey ain’t nobody lives there.” “Then why do people go there?” “Dey jist goes there—at night.” Yes, I guess dey do. Anyway, we got out and went around through the pretty rolling acres of Doug Hornsby’s farm and located the “T” right where we left it. The ground was plowed up con siderably but it was all in one piece. I bargained with another colored neighbor to drag the thing out with his two mules. T gave him $4, although he said he did not want to charge me anything. His name is Tom and he is a fine, old Negro. I must learn his last name. Tom hitched his two mules to the “T” while I took the wheel and we inched along a half mile of newly- scraped road. I guess I should have felt like a fool riding along in that thing behind two mules, but I didn’t. My only concern was that it might be too much on the mules. Once out on the highway with only high gear to go on, I “poured it on her,” not daring to slow up for rail road crossings or anything else. I brought her in all right, right up into the yard at Gildercrest where Billy relined the bands and made her ship-shape to go again, except that I have got to get another box of that stuff to keep it from leaking.
