The transport slid into the muted New York harbor after a rendezvous near the entrance with two destroyers which strewed floral pieces on the water after a brief religious cer emony honoring the first group of war dead to be returned from Europe. The flag-draped casket of a Congressional Medal of Honor winner, chosen by the War De partment as the symbol of his fellows and whose identity will not be made public, rested on the boat deck of the transport behind the pilot house, which was cover ed with black wreaths. A guard of honor stood at the casket and bluejackets on the destroyers lined the rails at at tention as Army and Navy in stallations in the harbor fired 22- gun salutes and war planes roar ed overhead. The bodies of the Newberry men will be sent to the Charlotte distribution unit, from which they will be escorted to New berry.

DORIS ARMFIELD I am getting a little tired of hearing the “stronger sex” accuse women of being Slav s to fashion. I have been tired of hearing that for some time, but kept my peace until the other night when Gab riel Heatter said, on his nightly broadcast, that “the time still hadn’t come when a woman could be President of the United States, because women are still slaves to fashion.” I resent that. The press and radio have given much publicity to those who fav or shorter hemlines; that makes a better story, especially when a movie actress, or actor, or some other well known celebrity is being quoted. I refuse to be lieve, however, that the majority of women prefer last year’s hemline to the new one. I am referring only to the hemline. I agree that some of the present day styles are a little too rWuch, but then no sensible woman is going to wear an exag gerated style. I have taken a great interest in this subject, since there has been so much controversy about it. I have talked with a num ber of women, (and incidentally. THEY are the ones who have to wear the skirts, not the men) and I would feel safe in saying that at least 90 per cent of those with whom I’ve talked feeF'that the only trouble with the longer hemline is that it didn’t come back in style several years ago. While on the subject of “slaves of fashion” I don’t see any men walking around Newberry wear ing the same style of clothes that the “mart of the day” was wear ing a few years ago. The manu facturers of men’s wear are' just subtle enough to “put it over” on the men. While I was working in Colum bia last year, my lunch each day usually consisted of a cup of coffee and a couple of dough nuts—and tlfe most delicious I’ve ever eaten. I believe they were called Krispy Creme. I was delighted to find out the other day that Johnny Jones, at his news and do-nut stand on Main street, turns out the same product—or at least, it tastes the same. Have you tried them? Johnny makes' them everyday ex cept Sunday; and you’ll find it worthwhile to stop by—only takes a couple of minutes—and get a few. After that, you’ll go back for more. As can be seen elsewhere in this issue of The Sun, radio sta tion WKDK is celebrating it’s first anniversary this week. I would like to add my personal congratulations to the many others being received by the owners, management and per sonnel of the station.

Drinks Stolen At College Stadium Seven young high school boys are being held in the county jail or on bond after being ar rested on charge of theft earlier this week. They are accused of breaking into, and robbing two crates of soft drinks from the cold drink concession on the athletic field of Newberry Col lege. The robbery occured late Sunday night or early Monday morning. Three of the boys, Bobby Crouch, Robert Sullivan and Jimmy Taylor, were arrested and taken to Columbia for an interview with state authorities where they admitted the theft, at the same time implicating four other boys, Billy Martin, Marion King, Donald Sullivan and Dor man Young, who also confessed when arrested Wednesday. Rob ert and Donald Sullivan, Jimmy Taylor and Marion King have been released on $200 bond. Two of the boys left bicycles near the drink stand, and re turned for them Monday after noon. They had left the football stadium when local authorities arrived, but Coach Bill Laval saw the boys and was able to furnish their names. An unknown party again en tered the high school building Sunday night, for the fourth time since last spring, and third time since the beginning of the current school semester, but his loot consisted of no more than a stuffed cotton bulldog, a few vanity cases, and a linen set made my members of the home economics department. The lin en set was found scattered on the school campus, evidently dropped as the thief made his retreat. The boys arrested in connec tion with the theft at the col lege deny any knowledge of the high school robberies, and there is no basis for linking the two, according to local authorities.
