FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15 1946 $1 PER ANNUM City’s Oldest Merchant In Business 62 Years James Harrison Summer, New berry’s oldest merchant, and one ot the county’s oldest citizens, will ob serve his 62nd anniversary as a merchant on Friday, November 15. “Mr. Hack” as he is known is a familiar figure in Newberry and at the age of 86 can be seen daily at his men’s clothing store, where he assists his clerks in serving the trade, does all of his correspondence and his bookkeeping, too. In fact, he can add a row of figures so fast that it would amaze the average citizen. His mind is alert, keen and remarkable and is probably the best posted on county, state and national affairs than any other person in the county. Every day he reads three daily newspapers from cover to cover and has plenty of time to devote to reading two weekly magazines. He came to Newberry with his two brothers at an early age from the Dutch Fork section of Lexing- Meek Named Pres. Local Kiwanians At the regular meeting of the Ki- wanis Club held at the Newberry Hotel last Wednesday, the follow ing officers were elected fcr the en suing year: Seth A. Meek, presi dent; Leon Nichols, 1 ’ vice-presi dent; and T. H. Pope, 2nd vice- president. The directors are Gordon Clark son, Heyward Davis, Bill Ted- ford, Ernest Brooks, Dee Summer, H. C. Ritter and Albert McCaugh- nn. ton county and they carried on large grocery store here for around 20 years, which was known in the old days as the biggest in this part of the state. Dissolving the partner ship he turned to the clothing lousi ness and has been in that business for around 42 years. So agreeable is ho that one of his clerks has been with him for 34 years and during all these years has had but a few serv ants in his home. One remained with the family for 25 years while the present one has been there for 14 years. He is a member of the Lutheran church of the Redeemer and has served in various offices there. He has a pair of scissors which has been his constant companion for 35 years, these scissors he state has cut thousands of yards of cloth. Mr. Summer has renewed the contract on his building for another three years, effective January 1, 1947. A Tribute To Dr. Olin B. Cannon (Contributed) The Sabbath School and the Men’s Bible Class of the Associate Re formed Presbyterian Church of Newberry, S. C., desire to express their sincere appreciation of the service rendered to them by Dr. Olin B. Cannon who was called home to Heaven October 16, 1946. While he was one of the most active men in the comrruyuly in educational, civic, ~ econdfhic, and social affairs, he always gave first place to his church and its interests.’ As superintendent of the Sabbath School, Dr. Cannon faith fully led in organizing and in main taining a school where adults and children studied the BiUe and the Jesus way of life. He was one who led by example as well as by pre cept, and his leadership was an inspiration to sit at the feet of Jesus and to learn Him. His read ing of the scripture, his singing of his beloved Psalms in the devotion al period of the Sabbath School service, and his prayers of conse cration and supplication have en deared him as a spiritual leader to every member, of the school. As teacher in the Men’s Bible Class, Dr. Cannon has directed the thinking and the study of the men of the Sabbath School to a God-cen tered life. He loved his Bible, and because it was such an integral part of his personal life, he delighted to share its riches with others. He was a faithful steward of the treasures of mind and spirit with which ne was so generously endowed. He had a Friend in Jesus with whom he talked and walked in his daily life and whom he joyed to serve by witnessing for him as teacher on the Lord’s Day. Truly God has been good to us to have raised up for our edification so able a teacher, so efficient a Sab bath School superintendent, so kind a friend, so devoted a Christian who was right in all his relation ships to God and to his fellowmen. For his loyal leadersnip we are humbly grateful. His living pres ence is keenly missed m our midst every Sabbath morning. We long to sit again under his discerning and inspiring leadership, but the Heavenly Father has willed that we go on for a season without his guid ing hand. His life of consecration to God and devotion to duty has overflowed through the years into ours so that we are better for hav ing known him and having loved and respected him. Therefore, in the faith which he weekly com mended to us in testimony, in song, and in prayer, in the hope that was his and is ours in the life beyond the horizon, and in the love of our Savior which we have shared witn him so long, we shall strive to fol low the principles he laid down for us as given him by his Master. To his dear wife and devoted son we express our deepest sympathy. We pray that The Giver of Life will heal their aching hearts that the glow of his memory may halo their days of separation against that day of ultimate reunion. May our Sab bath School be blessed in another who will be able to wear the mantle of leadership which has been so gently and so tenderly lifted from the shoulders of our dear and noble friend.

A Message To Red Cross Workers A letter from Red Cross head quarters brings the information that there is a sufficient quantity of both army and navy sweaters on hand to supply present demands, but. that there is dire -need among the child ren of war ravaged countries—our former allies—for warm clothing for the winter. The Red Cross is issuing an appeal to all women who can knit to come to the aid of these children by knitting the wool on hand into sweaters for them. The directions have come and the work is much simpler than that for the army and navy sweaters. We are appealing to mothers and big sisters to go by the Red Cross rooms for wool and directions; it will be wonderful satisfaction to know that you have made even “one of these little ones” happy and more comfortable during the intense cold that prevails in most of these countries. Let’s get busy and knit up this surplus wool during the present long winter evenings. Mrs. R. D. Wright, Director Special Volunteer Services. Lt-Comdr.
