The Newberry Sun Friday, December 12, 1947 BY THE WAY - - - this column were certainly ap preciated. Except for the hour Cliff Gra ham spent chewing his finger nails during the rain last Thurs day, I think everyone was ex ceptionally pleased with New berry's Christmas parade. Al though we were told in advance about the number of floats, units, etc., to be in the parade, somehow it was larger and much prettier than I expected. I’m glad I wasn’t on the com mittee to judge the floats— they were all so attractively and so appropriately decorated that is must have been hard to Kiddies!

The Am erican Legion and Auxiliary float which took first prize for clubs and organizations was cer tainly outstanding. I under stand most credit for planning that float goes to Mrs. James Leavell, with members of both the legion and auxiliary work ing hard to put it together. In the parade, the float made a good showing with the pretty red and white base, topped with symbols of the legion and auxiliary in a “bass drum” ar rangement, and “decorated” by Misses Evelyn Leavell and Mari lyn Whitener of the Legion Aux iliary, and Pete Parrott and Bill Armfield of the Legion carrying the flags. In the commercial group, the McSwain funeral home took the blue ribbon, with their float _f a miniature church. It was an attractive float, and symbolic of the spiritual significance of the holiday which we are at times apt to forget in all the celebrating. The junior high school float, winner of the school group, also showed 1 hat much thought had been given to it’s design and construction. Miss Peggy Sue Hutchinson made a charming “Miss Merry Christmas” and the high school float on which she rode with her attendants drew a round of applause from the crowd gath ered to witness the parade. Credit for a lot of hard work which made the parade a suc cess goes to Dee Summer and RITZ THEATRE THURSDAY, FRIDAY Ray Milland, Teresa Wright, Brian Donlevy, Rose Hobart, ‘‘THE TROUBLE WITH WOMEN” Popeye Cartoon FOX News SATURDAY Randolph Scott, Binnie Barnes, Henry Wilcoxon, Bruce Cabot “THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS” Comedy—Doggone Cat MONDAY.

All these things can be easily done and they would, or should, promote better local government. In general the fault is cur’s; we want too much at public ex pense and we want it NOW. We need in every County and town an organized group of mil itant citizens, resolved to com bat the trend of Increasing ex travagance. I may add that the proposed budget should be published be fore adopted. A little more no tice and information to the public would be a wise invest ment of public funds.
