TELEPHONE ONE IF YOU HAVE VISITORS OR ANY OTHER NEWS ITEM THANK YOU ALL KINDS OF COMMERCIAL PRINTING AND ENGRAVING PHONE NO. ONE VOL. 9; NO. 24 NEWBERRY. SOUTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1946 $1 PER ANNUM I HAVE LONGED for the time when readers of this pillar of thought would chip in and help conduct ti. Come now three friends in one week with contributions and I will introduce them without further ado. The first contribution in the form of a letter is from one of our fond admirers in Columbia. The second containing the nifty poem on “Wo men” is from an unknown admirer in California (but don’t that Cat get around) and the third, a poem about carnivals comes from a local man. Here are the contributions; “Mr. Armfield: Do you want to know where your old Cat is? I know that you must be powerfully worried about his hereabouts. If he had been around your diggings lately I know you would have had a front page story about him. As it is you haven’t said a word about him in ‘steen days’. Well, I siw him down my way recently. And did he look like the morning after the night before! He must have been jn bad company be cause he certainly could not have gotten that awful down-and-out look all alone, cr in good company, either. I think he must have sow ed plenty of wild oats while so journing in these parts. On second thought I do not believe the crowd he had been associating himself with belonged to this community, for we are a respectable sort of folks ourselves, just as you and your friends are (how little that man Ifntt'tvs?) I think he must have come here to ease up on that hang over before attempting to make a Prodigal’s return. “Well, Mr. Armfield, whatever may be the true facts about his wanderings, you may expect him back sometime within the near fu ture. He has promsed me that jf 1 wouldn’t tell you too much of the truth about him, he wouldn’t tell you any lies about me and my folks. That proposition of his ‘kinder’ got me behind the eight ball, therefore, I will have to end my story right here.” An unknown friend in California dipt the creature at the head of this column, paster it on a letter head and wrote as follows: “So you know all about women, or at least more about them than the average male? Well, I’ve been wanting to meet just such a -man for a long time. And yet I wonder just how much anyone knows about the critter when a man like Kip ling who learned about women from ‘this one and that one’ sums it all up by saying: ‘What you learn from the black and the yellow will ’elp you a lot with the white . . . but you ddn’t know ’em ) until you’ve tried ’em and then you are as like to be wrong. “They are a tangle of inconsisten cies, if you ask me and I doubt if any man ever knews them, outside of pei haps the one he is living with and then he’s not sure what they’re thinking or planning, or how they will react co different conditions. “Anyway, be that as it may, I think you might get a chuckle out of the following, just as I did: Turns Hobby Into Business After a five year stretch with Uncle Sam, Leland Welling is busily turning out custom built furniture, and many other items from a va riety of fine woods. Mr. Welling was an auditor before the war but the call of a hobby of 12 years standing was too much for him and he decided after getting out of the army to turn his hobby of wood working into a business. Mr. Welling erected a building 50 by 30 feet at 770 Fair street and here with helpers he is making many items of fine furniture to the custo mers order. The well equipped shop makes it possible to turn out items of most intricate detail and the beauty of some of the output shows that the operators are real artisans. Mr. Welling showed this reporter a beautiful mahogany console desk about completed for the local radio station, a unique coffee table of his own design, and a beverage cup, also of his own design. All were delight fully executed of beautiful woods. In the shop are some 95 differ ent kinds of wood for use on special order of furniture and novelties. Mr. Welling cut and polished for this reporter a piece of camphor wood grown in Australia which had been seasoned for 60 years and in which the odor of camphor was still strong. Mr. Welling plans to build a showroom for his wares sometime in the future but in the meantime extends an invitation to all lovers of beautiful furniture to visit him at 770 Fair street. GOING UP! The subscription price of The Sun will be increased on November 15 to $1.50 per year. We have held the price to $1.00 per year in the face of several advances in the cost of paper but the time has now come when it is costing us more to produce the paper than we are getting out of it. We cannot continue indefinitely such an, arrangement. Therefore, begin ning November 15 The Sun will be strictly $1.50 per year, $1.00 for a six months subscription. Until November 15 you may subscribe or add one more year to your present subscription for a dollar. This is the only no tice that will be given, so please take heed. m young parents on one point in par ticular, and that is this: Be care ful to always burp your new baby, especially of it is a boy. By care ful burping now you will get all the gas out of him and when he is old er he will have no hankering to run for the legislature. If he does not cooperate in the burp .ig proceedure tell him that the detsiny of nat ons rests upon it. Explain to him that gas created the New Deal, Jack Benny and Frank Sinatra. This should make him burp automatical ly and at regular intervals. Now that you have Junior prop erly burped you will want to show him off when company comes. Here again I would offer some advice out of many years of baby-sitting. If, with Junior sitting on his lap, cooing and gurgling, papa begins to feel his legs getting warm time has come for caution. Junior’s little face will be crimson, his little lips will be drawn tight and his little puffed cheeks wil Ibe at the burstng point. The tactful papa at this point will complain bitterly of his lumbago and creep out of the room doubled up like a jackknife lest he expose Junior’s bad mannei)s. But don’t censure Junior. This new wash day soap does all the work anyway, so they say. “She’s an angel in truth, a demon in fiction. A woman's the greatest of all contradictions, She shudders at a cockroach and scurries at a mouse, But she’ll tackle a husband as big as a house. “She’ll take him for better, she’ll take him for worse. She’ll bash his head open, then be his nurse. And when he’s well and gets out of bed, She’ll pick up a tea cup and throw at his head. “She’s faithful, deceitful, keen-sighted and blind, She’s crafty, simple. She’s cruel, she’s blind. She’ll lift a man up and cast a man down She’ll make him her hero, her ruler, her clown. “You’ll fancy she’s this, but you’ll find she’s that. She’ll play like a kitten and fight like a cat. In the morning she will, in the evening she won’t. And you’re always expecting she will, but she won’t.” “SHAG” BOUKNIGHT of West End tells this for a fact. “Shag” said the other day someone over that way wanted to get rid of a cat, so they t»ut him in a sack and toss ed him into the furnace at the mill. The terrific suction of that 125-foot brick chimney caused such an up draft that the cat was pulled all the way up and out of the chim ney, landed on the roof, slid down to the ground, bowed up his back at a hound dog nearby and said: “Bet you couldn’t do that, you flea- bitten cur.” THERE ARE SO MANY young Americans coming to make their home in this troubled world I feel I should give a bit of advice to 3,500 Mr. Merchant, your message is going into 3,500 homes through this issue of The Sun. The Sun is a good advertising medium because it is read and read thoroughly. Them as don’t subscribe for it bor row it from their neighbors. We have a little space left now and again if you want to talk to the people of Newberry county about your stuff. Phone 1, and if we’re not too tired we’ll come to see you.
