Education, insurance, compen
sation and hospitalization are still
the foru benefits administered by
the Veterans Administration in
which most veterans are interest
ed.
Here are the answers to a few of
the questions which VA contact
representatives are asked many
times over:
Q. How much time do I have in
which to complete my education
under the G. I. Bill?
A. Your education must be com
pleted 9 years after July 25, 1947.
Q. I have a service-connected
disability, and would like to know
how long I will be eligible for ad
mittance to a hospital.
A. Hopitalization, medical treat
ment, domiciliary care, and out
patient treatment are available to
you during your entire lifetime.
Q. I would like to appear before
the Rating Board in my own be
half. May I do this?
A. Yes, but a definite appoint
ment should be made and you
should be there at the time for the
hearing is designated.
Q. When is the deadline for re
instating NSLI policies without a
phyiscal examination ?
A. Most veterans may now rein
state their NSLI term policies by
signing a comparative health
statement and paying two monthly
premiums. The deadline for re
instating under these liberal con
ditions is December 31.
Q. May a veteran receive com
pensation from Veterans Admini
stration and State benefits for old
age?
A. Yes. There i s no restrictior
as far as VA is concerned.
(Veterans wishing further in
formation about veteran’s bene
fits may have their questions per
sonally answered by visiting the
Newberry Contact office at 1216
College street.
"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. Burial

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
