"ONCE A MARINE, ALWAYS A MARINE" To some people the old adage, “Once a Marine Always a Ma rine” may not mean very much but in the case of Charlie Wolff it ment the difference between the Potter’s Field and a decent burial in a National cemetery with military honors. Charlie Wolff, who once enjoy ed some fame as a rewrite man for Chacago and New York newspapers, died on March 18 at the age of 64. For the last 10 or 12 years, Charlie had been sort of a general aid to the Fed eral Court Reporters Associa tion. He did all sorts of errands for the newspaper men and photographers of the association. Through the years, especially during the late war, Wolff re marked with some pride that he had once been a United States Marine. When he died, an effort was made to locate some relative to insure Charlie a proper burial, but none was to be found. Wolffs body was taken to the city morgue and it was announc ed that unless it was claimed withen 30 days he would be hurried in Potter’s Field. A Fed eral court reporter recalled his references to the Marine Corps and notified the Marines.

S. C. Mae Sanders and Jean Maripn Parler of Holly Hill were united in marriage Thursday afternoon, September fourth at 5:30 p.m., at Lewis Methodist church. Rev. Walter E. Sanders, brother of the bride, officiated, us ing the impressive double ring ceremony. Traditional green and white dec orations were used in the church. Miss Harriet Breeland, pianist, and Miss Betty Strock, solist, both of Holly Hill rendered nuptial sel ections prior to the ceremony. The ushers were Jack and Ray mond Sanders, brothers of the bride. . Mr. Parler chose as his best man his father, Thomas Neely Parler. Mrs. J. C. Bozard of Lexington, sister of the bride, was matron of honor. She was attired in pale blue embroidered nylon taffeta, fashioned with off the shoulder net yoke and full skirt. She wore a blue veil and white gloves. Her arm bouquet was of pink asters and blue gladioli. The bridesmaids, Mrs Terry Mc Govern of Miami, Fla., and Mrs. Walter Sanders of Louisville, Ky., sister-in-law of the bride, were dressed in pink and blue, their gowns being fashioned similar to those of the matron of honor. The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, Ambrose V. Sanders, was charming in her white satin wedding dress, cut with net yoke and fitted bodice, buttoned down the back with elf covered buttons. The full skirt ended in a lengthy train. A full length veil of illuion fell from a tiara of seed pearls. The bride’s boquet was a white gladioli and tuberroses, centered with purple throated orchid. Immediately after the ceremony, a reception was given at the home of the bride’s parents on Clyde avenue. After a wedding trip to the mountains of North Carolina, the couple will be at home in Holly Hill. Mrs. Parler is the youngest daughter oX Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Sanders. She is a graduate of Newberry high school and New berry college, and has been a member of the school faculties of Duncan, Pacolet, and Holly Hill, where she taught last year. Mr. Parler i s the only son of Mr. and Mrs. T. N. Parler of Holly Hill. He graduated from Holly Hill high school, and spent two years in the army, 13 months of which were spent in Italy. He is in business with his father in Coastal Public Service. Jack Pruitt of Gaffney, and Kenneth Pruitt of Manning spent the weekend with their mother, Mrs. W. S. Lominick and Mr. Lom- inick on Hunt street. was postponedand an intensive search of records was made. When it seemed that all possi bility of ever identifying Charlie as a Marine had been exhausted, a set of fingerprints was dis covered in the Philadelphia Navy Yard. A check showed that Charlie Wolff had enlisted in the Mar ines in Chicago in 1907 and had been honorably discharged three years later. The funeral services were held at Cook’s Funeral Home, and after the service Charlie Wolff was hurried in the Farmingdale National Cemetry on Long Is land. A Marine Corps firing squad rendered the honors while an honor guard stood at rigid attention in this final ceremony for Charlie Wolff, Marine. BY THE WAY . . . Continued from front page) there is a cafeteria, canteen, and recreation hall where dances are held. The caretaker, Mr. J. W. Ray, is there year-round, and the cabin s are available throughout the year, by the week, weekend, or whatever length of time you desire. For the summer season, reservations for the cabins must be made thru the State Forest Cammission in Columbia. Through the fall, winter and spring, a cabin may be reserved by writing to Mr. Ray at Oconee State Park, Walhalla. I saw only one of the cabins inside, but I imagine most of them are alike - in this particular one, there was a long living room and kitchen combined, with large open fire place at one end; stove, ice-box and sink at the other. Coffee pots and kitchen utensils are there for your convenience, and you need only furnish your groceries and linens. In this particular cottage, there were two bedrooms with double beds; a “two decker” bed in the living room, and a bath . . . enough room for the whole family. Although I didn’t ask about the rates, I’m sure they are very reasonable. Mr. Ray told me that all through the winter - even on the coldest weekends, some of the cabins were occupied. If you’re looking for a nice, peaceful place to spend the weekend, drop Mr. Ray a line and he’ll take care of you. I forgot to mention that there’s a boat at each cabin for your use - for fishing, or just paddling around the lake ... All members of the Press Association attending the conference were enjoying themselves in the quiet atmosphere of Oconee State Park, and I’m sure Mr. Ray will be as accommodating to all patrons of the park as he was to those of us attending the convention. “While the unique honor of cap turing nine awards from the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences in the most conspic uous of the accolade s voted to . . . “The Best Years of Our Lives,” many other honors have been ac corded the production from sources that belong to the public . . The above quote is from a pub licity sheet, but is more that just a buildup for a mediocre picture. “The Best Years of Our Lives,” which will show at the Opera House Friday and Saturday of thi s week, is a picture praised by all who have seen it. One reviewer said, “I cannot refrain from con fessing how deeply I was moved. We leave the picture feeling that we can bank on the future of a land where character still counts. The play carries a message our country needs to learn.” As you probably know, the stars of this film are Myrna Loy and Fredric March. However, the out standing personality is Harold Russell. Russell, whose hands were amputated while he was serving in the army, won an academy award for giving the best non professional performance of the season, and another as the out standing veteran of the year. I’m sure you will enjoy “The Best Years of Our Lives ...” doesn’t make too much difference. All of this is leading up to the announcement I heard when I set the radio to wake me at 6:30 last Friday morning. After being aroused by a hillbilly telling me “The Bed is Man’s Best Friend," Ed Morris related the new s that “Joe is leaving.” Joe Morris has been with WKDK since March, I believe. Although I don’t like the music on his early morning program, or the tear-jerking tunes of hia “Silver Dew Boys,” I don’t think they are much worse than any other hillbilly group. We’ll mis s Joe over the air- lanes of WKDK, but hope he’ll have the best of luck in his next position. I have one of those “new fang- led gadgets” known as a musical alarm clock. They’re really nice, most of the time. Instead of being awakened by a jangling alarm clock, you just “set”' your radio for whatever time you want to get up, turn the button, and if you’re tuned to WKDK, you’ll wake up listening to the melancholy strains of Roy Acuff, or some such indi vidual. Not that I approve of Roy Acuff, or any music of that type, but that early in the morning, it New Bus Schedule Operating Between ' NEWBERRY, S. C., and PEAK, S.
