Newberry, South Carolina, Friday, October 3,1947 $1:50 PER ANNUM More Estonians Brave Atlantic MIAMI, Fla., Oct. L—Eight more liberty-loving Estonians in cluding two infants arrived here today aboard a 40-foot sailing vessel after a two-months voy age that all but exhausted their food supply. The Estonians frankly describ ed themselves as “political refu gees from the Russians” and said conditions in their homeland be came too difficult that they had to set forth on the perilous voy age. They had heard of the difficul ties of four other bands of their countrymen who entered the U. S. through Miami and Savannah, Ga., but decided to make the trip anyway in the vessel they had saved all their earnings for two years to purchase. The refugees included Capt. Kalme Veski and his English- speaking wife, Hilda, their two sons, three-months-old Hillard, and Velio, one-and-one-half years old. Two other couples, Heinrich and Elfrida Redik, and Elmar and Akulina Kalome, completed the vessel’s complement. President Truman personally intervened to arrange the entry of 48 Estonians who preceded them to these shores and they gradually were admitted under spare British and Cuban immi gration quotas. Immigration officials here said the new refugees group, who like the others did not have proper entrance visas, would be given the same opportunity to enter this country.

ACCIDENT TOLL GROWS HIGHER COLUMBIA, Oct. 1.—Even as the State Highway department suspends or revokes more and more drivers’ licenses, the num ber of accidents on South Caro lina highways and city street in creases and the number of traf fic deaths almost maintans past levels. The somber facts are indicated by the statistics compiled weekly and monthly by the Motor Ve hicle division. Between January 1 and Sep tember 1 of this year, the depart ment revoked or suspended 4,337 licenses. During the same period of 1946, the driving privileges was withdrawn for 2,992 persons. This shows an increase of more than 1,400 for the current year. The accident record for the first eight months of 1947 shows a similar startling increase. For the eight month period South Carolinians had 4,472 accidents, as compared with 3,140 for the first eight months of 1946. Sep tember figures are being compil ed. The number of persons killed in accidents during January thru August of this year is lower, but there are four more months yet to be recorded. The 1947 death toll was 348, compared with 395 for 1946. The number of injur ed was 2,830 for 1947 and 2,231 for 1946. Take last week. A total of 141 drivers lost their permits to op erate motor vehicles.

DORIS ARMFIELD Since South Carolina Perfumes gained national attention back in 1945, I’ve been wondering when we’d see some of the famous Car olina Jessamine in Newberry. I went in Carpenter’s the other day, and Mr. Carpenter walked up with sample kit, containing four little bottles of perfume. Handpainted on the bottles were pictures of the Carolina Jessa mine, Magnolia, Mimosa and Wisteria—the four perfumes made in South Carolina, from flowers gathered in South Caro lina. Back in 1945, Mrs. Louise Jones DuBose, associate editor of the South Carolina Magazine, pre sented small vials of the Jessa mine Perfume to Mrs. Harry Tru man, and to Mrs. James Byrnes: also, while on a goodwill tour from Maine to Florida, she pre sented the perfume to many gov ernors’ wives and others as sou venirs of South Carolina. The South Carolina perfumes and their unique package were fea tured in a recent issue of The American Perfumer, a national magazine. Last spring, conditions were such that sufficient quantities of South Carolina flowers could be gathered to make the perfume for commercial production—and Carpenter’s now has an initial stock. Once you’ve tried any of the four aromas, you’ll want a bottle —well, the ladies will anyhow, and I. have an idea the gentlemen who hear about it will agree that it’s an ideal gift. I’m putting in an order for several bottles to send some of my Yankee friends, so they can see what they miss by not living in South Carolina. Bill Wise of the Newberry Pub lic Work Commission, told me he was going to the high school ball field Tuesday night for a “pre view” of the new lighting system. The lights were to be tried out for the first time, so that any neces sary adjusments could be made in time for the first game Friday night, when Harry Hedgepath’s Bulldogs meet the Aiken high school Jaybirds. Harry tells me the Bulldogs won’t be too tena cious this year—he has lost five or six of his best players for sev eral reasons. He predicts that the game will furnish good enter tainment, though, and that a crowd is expected for the first night game at home . . . Since so many more people will be able to attend night games than were able to witness daytime games in the past. I believe interest in the Newberry high team will be greater than ever before . . . Af ter the game tomorrow night, the Bulldogs will have five more games here, so Newbery high rooters will have ample opportun ity to see the team in action . . . While on the subject of foot ball, Newberry Co'Inge, after an 18-7 defeat at the hands of Appa lachian last Saturday, will jour ney to Hickory Saturday to play Lenoir Rhyne. The score on this game last year was 13-0 in favor of the Indians. Next Friday, the Indians will meet The Citadel in Charleston. Mr. Tom Harmon at the Water and Light Plant is mighty happy these days. A new postage meter machine has been added to the office equipment there. The fea ture which pleases Mr. Tom so much, according to him, is that “gadget” that licks and seals the envelopes. I’m a little dubious about his statement that before installation of the machine, he “licked and sealed” all the bills going out from the Water and Light plant; Army To Appoint 6,000 Officers On Friday, October 10, the De partment of the Army* will an nounce the third and final incre ment of officers to be tendered appointments in the Regular Ar my under the Regular Army Offi cers’ integration program. Present indications are that the appointment list will conain ap proximately 6,200 nominations, of which 4,200 will be Air Force and 2,000 service and ground forces. Appointees will be notified by wire of their nomination within 24 hours subsequent to receipt of this list from the Department of the Army. Administrative com pletion of the integration program must be accomplished before De cember 31, and nominees on in active duty shomd make every effort to arrange their personal and business anairs in order to be available for active service by that time. Although efforts are constant ly made to place applicants with the South Carolina Employment Service in positions for which they are suited, a particular ef fort will be made next week to place the 46 handicapped persons, now registered with the em ployment office in Newberry, in jobs during “National Employ the Physic ally Handicapped Week,” according to A. Bos- tain, manager of the local em ployment office. The week of October fifth has been designated “National Em ploy the Physically Handicapped Week” by proclamation of the President. In Newberry, a proc lamation was issued by Mayor Dave L. Hayes, and may be seen elsewhere in this issue of The Sun. Of the 46 handicapped appli cants seeking positions in New berry, 29 are veterans. Since Jan uary 1, 1947, the local employ ment service has placed 87 dis abled persons in jobs in this area. It is the ability of the applicant, Mr. Bostain pointed out, and not the disability an employer should consider when hiring a person who has a physical handicap. Sharp Decrease In Building- Permits Thirteen building permits, amounting to $10,420, were issued by Fire Chief Sam Beam during the month of September.
