NEARLY EVERYBODY IN NEWBERRY SEES THE SUM By The Way - ■ ■ Prosperity Items VOL. 10; NO. 33 DORIS ARMFIELD It was almost two months ago when the first mention of the “Christmas Cheer Fund’’ ap peared in this column. For the first few weeks, little progress was made—a few benevolent cit izens appeared at the fire de partment and left their volun tary doftations. It was a little early, yet, for the “Christmas spirit . . . ’’ It was even before Turkey Day, and before the Santa Claus parade. I believe it must have been the parade which put everyone in a Christ ian Christmas attitude of “love thy neighbor,” for shortly after that, gifts began pouring in for the fund. Besides that organization in a local church which began the drive, Newberry’s Masonic lodge has urged its members to coop erate, and I understand other organizations will do the same. I am glad to know there are so many people who are willing to share what they have to make this a happy Christmas for others ... I am delighted to report that not one single gift which has been donated was solicited. It has been a pleas ure to me, as I am sure it has to others who cooperated, to see this campaign go over suc cessfully. Elsewhere in this issue is a complete list of donors whose gifts have been turned over to Fire Chief Sam Beam. . . . I went around to “Open House” of the Quality Bakery Monday morning. Wilson Brown was standing on the corner out side the bakery, and comment ed that “this corner is sweeter than it used to be.” He was enjoying one of the tempting samples being offered on open ing morning. I was a little worried for fear the cold, rainy day would put a damper on the opening day visitors, but my 9 worries were useless. I had " to push my way into the place, and once I got in there, I think I would have been content to sit there a'll day just taking in the pleas ant aroma that one always finds at a bakery. Mr. and Mrs. Hottel impressed me as being two very nice people, and I was glad to see so many friendly folks from the friendly city on hand to wel come the new enterprise and its owners . . . The following item is from Editor J. Luther Aull’s column, “Various and All About” in The Ridge Citizen, Johnston: “Through her interesting col umn in The Newberry Sun en titled ‘By the Way’ we found Miss Doris Armfield, daughter of Sunpublisher O. F. Armfield, looking over news releases and fact sheets which clutter up the mail of most newspapers. The latest bit of ‘startling informa tion’ she has come across, she reports, is a new fangled hand bag for ladies ... We note this and make comment because we are prepared to go her one bet ter. Recently we were told of an advertisement making the claim that for marital happiness the bedroom walls should be painted a peach color. ‘Paint your bedroom walls peach and help cut down the rising divorce rate,’ the advertisement urged. After finding out about this we have come to the conclusion that the remarkable thing about the divorce rate is not that it is climbing so fast but that as many couples seem to make the grade as do. Either they don’t realize they are supposed to have their bedroom walls paint ed peach, or more walls are painted that color than one would think at first blush.” I found it a little hard to believe that even the space-beg ging agencies had gone so far as to put out such a statement as Editor Aull quotes. I corn ered him on his next Visit to Newberry and demanded to know whether that wasn’t just a product of his imagination. He denied that, but he also admit ted that he didn’t actually SEE that fact — someone told him about it. Written or oral, true * or untrue, it does go my “light ed handbags” one better, and I’m tucking it away for some future time when I may be able to top his peachy walls . . . Have you donated to the Christmas Cheer Fund?
