CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE BEGINS NOVEMBER 24 I The tuberculosis seal sale be gins November 24 in Newberry. No longer than 30 years ago, it was generally thought that tuberculosis was incurable. The unfortunate victims of the di sease had almost no hope of recovery. Today, they do not stand alone. Help has been brought to them through skill ful diagnosis and treatment, and the hope of cure and rehab ilitation. The little band of unselfish peopfle, who began this fight against tuberculosis in our state has grown into an army of workers dedicated to this cause. The sale of Christmas seals ac counts for most of our operating income. Statistics are not cold figures. The death rate for the past thirty years follows: 1916, 2372; 1926, 1652; 1936, 1010; and 1946, 572. 80 PER CENT TAXES PAID J. Ray Dawkins, the county treasurer, announces that close to eighty per cent of new taxes have been paid—paid during the short discount period. This has never happened before in the history of Newberry county and shows an abundance of ready cash as well as an alertness o; the part of the county’s fiscal servant. The county legislative dele gation made a reduction of si* mills in taxation this year bu overall taxes were upped in this school district nine mills net due to a levy voted for school purposes; likewise Whitmire school district has a net increase of four mills, having voted 10 mills for its schools.

DORIS ARMFIELD A few weeks ago, I wrote about the ladies’ church organi zation which is sponsoring a vol untary drive to make this Christmas a cheerful one for families in Newberry county. The organization, through the newspapers and radio station, asked that voluntary donations of money, groceries, toys, cloth ing, or any useful article be giv en for distribution to the needy of the county at Christmastime. I was talking with Chief Sam Beam the other day—he will be responsible for distributing the gifts—and he tells me that he has already received a number of packages—clothing, food and money. Don’t forget to take your donation either to the Fire De partment, to the newspapers, or to Radio Station WKDK. No one will approach you begging for gifts for this cause—but what you give will be appreciated by those who are behind the drive, and will be welcomed by those who receive the gifts. . . . The editor of the Winnsboro News and Herald, in his edi torial column last week, re printed what he calls this “tid bit of oversimplification,” con cerning police officers. I think you might find it amusing. I’d like to dedicate it to our law en forcement officers: “If he is neat, he’s conceited; if he’s careless, he’s a bum; if he is pleasant, he’s a flirt: if he’s curt, he’s a grouch. If he hurries, he overlooks things; but if he takes his time, he is lazy. If you get pinched, he’s had it in for you; and if he passes you up, he’s too easy. If he’s energetic, he’s trying to make a record, but if he’s delib erate, he’s too slow to catch a cold. If you strike him, he’s a coward; if he strikes you, he’s a bully. If he outwits you, he’s a sneak, but if you see him first, he’s a bonehead. If he makes a good catch, he’s lucky; if he muffs it, he’s a simp. If he gets promoted, he^s got pull, but if he doesn’t—ah, what’s the use?” I went up to see Ruby Kinard, the other day to see what new hair styles would be used with the “new look”. Ruby recently returned from the southeastern beauty show held in Atlanta. It seems that short hair will go with long skirts. While she was cutting a few inches off of my tresses, she told me that Miss Ethel Kinard of Pomaria is now with the HBlcrest Florist, which is operated by Ruby’s mother, Mrs. J. D. Kinard. Hillcrest will now be able to take care of more orders than in the past, and Mrs. Kinard expects to begin taking orders for wedding decorations after the first of the year . . . Have you been wondering what Spring will bring in the way of fashions? So have I— asd that’s why I went by to see Mrs. E. A. Carpenter, who has just returned from a buying trip to New York City. The answer is yes—hemlines will remain as long as they now are, but won’t go any longer except for very dress-up dinner dresses. Baller ina skirts are the newest fad with the younger set, but full skirts are featured in many of the new styles. Not all of them, Mrs. Carptenter tells me. The straight skirt, and not-so-full skirt, is still very much in style, skirt, and not-so-full skirt, is One of the featured colors for spring will be dark green, but I prefer the pastels which will be all the rage. Styles, according to Mrs. Carpenter, are back at the stage they were 35 years ago, at which time pastels were also the height of fashion. Things will be fluffier—more feminine, and even some of the leading hat manufacturers, whose models have always been just “plain hats,” have added frills and doo dads. I hope this return to femin ity will somewhat alleviate the riticism against longer skirts. I’m in favor of all the new styles. The much publicized ‘new look” is refreshing, after the sameness of the past few years . . . It’s bazaar time again—and the ladies of the Calendar So ciety of Central Methodist church will hold their annual ba zaar at the Willowbrook club house Friday afternoon, Novem ber 21st, beginning at 3:30 p. m. Many attractive things will be offered for sale . , , cakes, home Veterans Parade November 11th V Preparations have been com pleted for the Armistice Day cel ebration to be held in Newberry Tuesday, according to Bill Wise, commander of American Legion Post 24.
