NEARLY EVERYBODY IN NEWBERRY SEES THE SUN TELEPHONE ONE IF YOU HAVE VISITORS OR ANY OTHER NEWS ITEM THANK YOU VOL 10; NO. 18 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY. SEPT. 5. 1947 $1:50 PER ANNUM Since we enjoy reading other people’s post cards the following from a lady friend of mine, might be of in terest. Mention of the spring flowers indicates the reply was long delayed: The Forsythias, Japonicas, daf fodils, jonquils, that gladdened the earth with their color and scent when you wrote your let ter, have long since proclaimed the glory of their Maker and crumbled back into dust, but it is still nice to read qnd think about them at this late date. Needless to say, I enjoyed the pictures of the lovely old manor house. Also the snap of your beautiful daughter, as well as the one of yourself and the charming mother of your child ren. Between the shadow and the shrubs it’s a little difficult to appraise you fairly, but 1 judge you are quite tall, have a good square shoulders, the high forehead of an intellectual, and still in possession of a good manly head of hair. Right? Your wife, I must say, looks extremely happy and well cared for, despite her hard life with you, that is the plowing, hoeing, wood splitting and other chores she does, while you, no doubt, rock back and forth on your porch, puffing away on a first class corn cob pipe—what a way you must have with women? You say ‘to possess knowledge is to be miserable”—that is true to a great extent, especially if one has a heart that is attuned to the injustices, the heartaches, sorrows and misery that is so much a part of the sick old world today. I, too, passed thru a period when I was so weighed down and oppressed, with man’s in humanity to man, that I could scarcely breathe. I prayed and wept into my pillow at night thinking of frightened little children and the anguish of fathers and mothers who were torn from them and herded into box cars in the dead of winter and shipped to God knows where. I thought of our boys in con centration camps, or slashing thru the ice and mud of Europe, or perhaps being lost in the hot steaming jungles of the South Pacific, the mass bombing and other outrages until I was so tied up in knots that I could neither sleep nor eat. After the war came the heart- saking stories of relatives in .rope, who had suffered, first the hands of the Nazis, and j Russian hordes as they ooped over eastern Europe, mdering, destroying, deport- r, killing. Then came the •apping of the Atlantic Char- ■ the evils and injustices to lich we, unwittingly perhaps, mmitted ourselves at Teheran, Ha and Potsdam—the high nded and insolent Reds and nr utter disregard of treaties d promises, Russian espionage Canada, Communist and their ’iltration into every phase of nerican life and industry, rh handed labor methods, the ’ Y D.’s—I fumed and wor- d and fretted, “wrote to my nator, my Congressman” and lied so hard for everyone and yone who had the courage to ampion the cause of justice d rightousness that I com- :tely exhausted myself.

I worked with Veterans Administration Public relations long enough that any headline with a mention of “VA” always catches my eye ... as a rule, a VA story is- of primary inter est to veterans, but the follow ing item from page one of The New York Times is amusing enough to be appreciated by anyone . . . especially anyone who has worked for a large government agency, or has had the misfortune of being near the door of a government agency at five o’clock: “The * Veterans Administra tion, alarmed at the way its workers rush to quit at five o’clock, told them today to take it easy. “A memorandum from Fran cis Dryden, assistant administra tor, cited three recent cases of employees knocked down and injured in the corridors and de clared: “ ‘Most of this running ac- curs within two or three min utes of closing time. Employes dash from their places of work headed for the nearest exits. Frequently they slip and fall. They catch their heels on stair treads. They bump into others. Injuries result.’ “Mr. Dryden’s memorandum also cautioned the employes against putting pins or paper clips in their mouths, leaning back too far in swivel cahirs and sitting on waste baskets.” Washington isn’t the only place where five o’clock rushes occur. Down the hall from the office in which I worked at VA’s branch five in Atlanta, there were several girls—one in particular—who always donned hats and coats and were stand ing by the gate ready to leave at five o’tlock. As soon as the bell sounded, tliey began run ning—ran all the way down the corridor and hall; down the steps an dout of the bidding. This finally wore down the nerves of some of the more easygoing employees so a plan was devised to stop the running, once and for all. And it work ed. Just a few minutes before five one day, two gentlemen were, standing obscurely in the hall—one on either side. When the bell rang and the girl was running at her usual gait, two blinding flashes caused her to stop short—then she realized she had been caught by cameras. It proved most embarrassing to her, and most amusing to ev eryone watching. The story traveled—as stories will around a government agency—and till the time I left Branch Five I don’t recall having seen anyone running out of the building when the closing bell was sounded. I WAS OUT at WKDK Sun day talking with George Mar tin and Russ McElwee. Russ was showing me the record lib rary, and way down in a far comer I spotted two or three albums of classical music . . . this started a discussion of the classics, and I find that Russ and I have one thing is com mon—we both like good music. Russ said he hoped he would soon be able to carry a program of symphonic music over WKDK. So far as I know, this hasn’t been done in the past. Russ did play the Warsaw Con certo on his night program a couple weeks ago, but his night listeners evidently weren’t in favor of what they term “long hair” music. I hope his idea will go over. I’m sure there must be others who would be in terested in hearing good music —if so. how about mentioning it to Russ, or to Chris Kauf- mann, Charlie Bowers or any of the WKDK personnel . . . Speaking of WKDK, they have some very good programs over Mutual now, and more to come when the stars return to the air after summer vacations. Two current features, high on Hooper ratings, are “Those Websters” 'which is scheduled each Sunday afternoon at five o’clock, and the “Chicago Theat er of the Air” which is heard on Saturday night from nine till ten. This Saturday, September 6, the guest star on the Chicago Theater will be David Davis, 14 year old violinist. CONGREGATION MEETING AT AVELEIGH SUNDAY There will be a congregation al meeting at Aveleigh Presby terian church Sunday immed iately following the morning worship service. All members are urged to be present for the important meeting. Dr. E. D. Kerr will be guest pastor at Aveleigh Sunday. John D. Livingston of New berry, motorcycle patrolman on the city police force, was killed instantly Tuesday night at nine o’clock when his motorcycle crashed into a tree on Glenn street throwing him some 70 feet. Patrolman Livingston was re ported to have been chasing a speeding automobile, which was leaving Newberry in the direc tion of Columbia on Glenn street. The car reportedly turn ed off the Columbia highway near W. E. Hunt’s store, drove to Mollohon and through several streets in the Mollohon village, then to Glenn street in the dir ection of Newberry. The accident occured when Patrolman Livingston’s Vehicle left the road, and chashed into a tree trunk, about 10 feet from the ground near the home of J. V. Shevlin on Glenn street. Livingston was thrown about 70 feet, and his motor cycle was found in the middle of Glenn street. The identity of the driver of the speeding automobile is un known at the present time. A date had not been set Thurs day morning for coroner’s in quest into the death of Mr. Liv ingston. “Chuck” Livingston, who was 32 years of age, was bom and reared in Newberry, a son of J. H. and Bertha Summer Living ston. He was a veteran of World War II, having served several years in the army, part of which time was spent overseas. He was a member of the Veterans ol Foreign Wars, American Legion, and a member of West End Baptist church. He had been a member of the city police force since July, 1946.
