TELEPHONE ONE IF YOU HAVE VISITORS OR ANY OTHER NEWS ITEM THANK YOU ALL KINDS OF COMMERCIAL PRINTING AND ENGRAVING x PHONE NO. ONE VOL. 9; NO. 26 NEWBERRY. SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25. 1946 $1 PER ANNUM I WOULD REPORT on conditions at the Acres except that I haven’t been there in two weeks. Every member of the family, having seen my farm one time, stubbornly re fuse to go again. 1 did talk one of the boys into going with me Sun day before last. We had a -flat tire half way there and I walked the remaining two miles while the boy thumbed it back to town to get a key to the tool compartment and fix the tire. I can’t understand why my folks don’t love that farm. To me, it is all that one could wish for in this topsy-turvy world. Even if it is poor, it is unpretending, quiet and soothing. It is a place of retirement when I shrink up and can no long er fill up the seat of my britches. My neighbors there are black and unsophisticated. They don’t know much but T know too much to be happy. I like to talk to them about mules and hound dogs and rabbit hunting. I TOLD Chris Kaufmann any thing he aired over his new station would be right by me with the exception of gospel singers. I des pise gospel singers . They boom forth like a mad bull from out my loud speaker and call me “Old Friend” and “Neighbor”. I’m not his neighbor, nor his friend—new cr old. I definitely hate sweet-talking men, and gospel singers are the sweetest talking of all male kind. He tells me in juicy terms about the belly-wash he offers, good for any thing from constipation to a squeek in your wheelbarrow. I’ve got a cer*ain amount of pride which pre cludes being an “old friend” of any gink who sandwiches the merits of a belly-wash between sacred songs. Yes, there IS just one more thing I will have to rule out. I don’t like radio announcers who laugh and laugh at something which happens in the studio and about which I know nothing. Outside of that (and than moron Grady Cole) radio and I get along all right together. CHURCH BAZAAR SOON In former years, a bazaar held by the women of Central church was an annual affair and was anticipated by their friends from other churches.

But now that the war is over, plans for a bazaar were reviv ed, and the women have been busy for several months making attrac tive and useful articles for sale. The good cooks have promised various appetizing foods also for sale. ' I 'he Bazaar will be held about the middle of November, the exact date and place will be announced later. This will be a fine oppor tunity -o do some Christmas shop ping for gifts as well as to treat your family with good things to eat. LIEUT. RAY BOUKNIGHT and ■iend LIEUT.
