ONE NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1946 $1.50 PER ANNUM MAN GOES THROUGH at least two stages as a heart smasher— when he’s young and when he’s old. I’m now in the second phase and I have long dreamed of this day. But, dear folks, though the day has ar rived, I am undone. I had hoped to conceal my age somewhat and crack a few, shall we say, mature feminine hoarts?—a sort of last fling at romance. But, I ask you, who wants to get romantic with a grandpappy? I had hoped that maybe as I passed some not ovely-ripe maid on the streets she might remark to a companion, “There’s Doak, nice looking fellow, isn’t he?” About all I can hope for now is, “There goes grandpappy, ancient old devil, ain’t he.” I WANT YOU poor people to know that I have tired of being one with you. Last week I bought my self a $50 suit at Roy Summer’s clothing emporium and I intend to utterly ignore all of you. If I pass you on the street and fail to speak to you don’t suppose I didn’t see you. I saw you all right. It’s just that I don’t intend to have any truck with you poor people. I’m not even going to speak to Zach Wright. I might nod slightly to Guy White- ner if he’s dressed up, otherwise I’ll snub him, too. I’ve been one of you poor cusses for over 50 years and I’m dang tired of it. I’m go ing to stroll the avenues and look down on ; ou—sneer at you. I’ll be with you again when my suit wears out, but until then—phooey, you poor devils! I HAVE OFTEN wondered how Saint Peter was going to separate the Whites and Negroes when we all get to heaven. I thought I saw the solution the other day when the Baptist breth ren of North Carolina in convention assembled passed a resolution de claring against segragation of the races in Baptist churches. Here I hoped, at last, was the chance for some Negroes to become angels. But, alas, my hopes come a cropper for the next day said Baptist breth ren, still in convention assembled, rescinded their action and slammed the door in the black brother’s face again. . . . “Come unto Me ye white folks who are weak and heavy laden, and I will give you rest” . . .? I SANG HLRE A WHILE BACK ABOUT the little house out back of the big house which played so great a role in the building of this America. Comes now, the secre tary of Mahatma Ghandi, grand old man of India, as says that the sage does his best thinking in his “lav atory”, which word freely trai - lated means simply “backhouse”. Longfellow once wrote a beauti ful poem about the backhouse and I wish I could recali it, but only snatches of it comes to mind . . . “When memory keeps me com pany and moves to smiles or tears, a weather beaten object looms thru the mist of years.” That’s the way it started, and it •.vent on to tell how vital a part the little house had in building the great minds of our early national life. As an ignorant lad back in the sand-dunes and black-jacks or Chesterfield county, the Sears, Roebuck catalog on the privy floor was the window of the outside world to me. I marveled at the pictures of assorted merchandise but I think most of all I marveled at the pretty underwear modeled on boys my own age. My own underwear was of a sort of brindle colored outing flannel with a gate in the back, the button of which said gate was usually off, causing a lump in the seat of my britches which could be taken for most anything. How I longed for a suit of those pretty drawers! I believe I could have made more time with the girls if I had had a suit of it. I was always self-conscious around girls with my gates-ajar model. I never knew when the gate would open and a lump would form, which was decidedly uncomfortable to sit on. Did you ever try to make love sitting on a lump of under wear? When my girl looked in quiringly at me, I never knew whether she was trying to figure out my character or the condition of my upholstering. DPW Office Closed Thanksgiving Day The office of the Department of Public Welfare on College stree* will be closed Thursday, Novembe’ 28, in celebration of Thanksgiving Day. _ Whitener Gift Is Placed In Church The Carillonic bells, which were given by Mr. and Mrs. Guy V. Whitener in memorial to John Mayes, Douglas Crump and Calvin Dennis, three Newberry boys, who gave their lives in the service of their country, have been installed in the Central Methodist church. In addition to the bells a deluxe tower music system was also in stalled. This instrument will pro ject the tones of the organ, choir, organ chimes or phonograph record player from the church tower with the highest fidelity. The music of the phonograph records will be dis tributed from the reproducers with a degree of musical quality that has enthusiastically satisfied trained and discriminating ears. The chime and organ tones distributed from the tower will display all of the tone beauty of the original. Carillonic bells are new, yet their tones are real and genuine. They are the product of an electronic age and harmonical musical artistry. Electronics, the sciene of vacuum tubes, has been embodied in these new bells to produce tone of strik ing beauty. The bells are described as weigh ing less than four ounces each; they are without clang, action noises and consequent trouble. The bells are rich and brilliant in tone, and are not affected by climatic condi tions. The system combines actual bells with electrpnics, producing a tone that combines all the best features of the finest bells and tubular chimes, yet eliminating all undersirable features. The first program of music was given Sunday morning, November 24. Mrs. May T. Stuck, organist ot the church, is carilloneur and Mrs. J. E. Wiseman, who is assistant or ganist will assist Mrs. Stuck. A temporary program of organ and bell music will be broadcast from the tower of the church each Sunday morning from 9;30 to 10:00 o’clock, and vesper music each Sunday afternoon from 5:30 until six o’clock. The pastor of the church, the Rev. H. C. Ritter is now making plans to hold the dedication service, which will'be amrourtct-d -St ' 9 later date. “Aloft in yonder tower. Now sound hallowed bells; When’er we hear their message, O may we heed it well. Their notes, to us appealing, In tones so rich and clear, Shall call us all together, God’s Holy Word to hear. “Their joyous peals resounding On every common day Should stir our hearts to gladness. To sing, to love, to pray. And when our spirits waver, Or trials harsh assail, Then may their sacred message Say: Christ shall never fail. “Thus shall our joys and sorrows Be mingled with their sound, ’Til we in heaven’s mansions God’s holy throne surround. With many thousand voices, To glorify the Lord, Whose name by men and angels, is worshipped and adored.” They’ll Do It—Need Not Try To Stop ’Em Follows a list of those issued mar riage licenses during the month of November: Howard Doyle Phillips and Edna Ideal Davis, Newberry.
