VOL. 10; NO. 34 Newberry, South Carolina, Friday, December 26, 1947 $1:50 PER ANNUM .By The Way - - ■ DORIS ARMFIELD I was disturbed to see that there were no lights on the tree behind the old courthouse when the other Christmas lights were turned on in Newberry. Know ing that the tree is always lighted, I began asking ques tions to find out “why not” this year ... I was eventually satis fied that the weather was one of the main holdups, and thai the tree would be lighted—and now it is. The red and green lights making streamers down all sides of the tree, and the' shining star at the top just add a special note to the Yuletide decorations in the city. 1 found out something about that tree that I’m ashamed to admit I didn’t know until this year. Some 20 years ago, Mrs. James Sheely. chairman of the old courthouse grounds committee of the Civic League, suggesteo that a “living Christmas tree” be planted on the square behind the courthouse. The league took action, and Mrs. Sheely has faithfully watched over the tree since it was planted. To Mrs. Sheely and the Civic League go credit for one of Newberry’s most beautiful Christmas decor ations. . . I was going to tell you this week about some of the home decorations, in case you hadn’t had a chance to see them. We took a ride around the city Fri day night. Knowing how lights fascinate my little niece, Mary Ruth, we took her along. At eight months, her vocabulary consists of two words—“hey” and “a-ba”, whatever that means. I think it is an effort to say “bye-bye”. Anyway, she enjoyed the lights, I believe, more than anyone I’ve seen. All up and down Main street, she was yelling “hey” at the vari colored, brightly shining lights. I was disappointed to notice that perhaps 50 percent of the homes in the city had no decor ations. But then I remembered that we didn’t get our tree up until Friday afternoon, and probably a number of homes were decorated over the week end. All of the homes which were decorated were so pretty, though, that it ould be hard to describe any one without slight ing others ... so instead of telling about them, I know you’ll want to ride around and see for yourself what can be done to make the residential section of town as Christmas-y as the business section. . . WKDK will carry a number of special Christmas and New Year programs. The Christmas serv- ‘ ice at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer will be broadcast tonight (Wednesday) from 10:00 until 11:00. On Saturday, De cember 27th, the Blue-Gray ,North vs. South) football game will be aired, beginning at 2:45 p. m. Victor H. Lindlahr will outline some of the customs practiced by international holi day gourmets on his broadcast Christmas eve at 12:15 p. m. .... the annual Christmas mes sage by President Truman will be aired during a special Christ mas eve program from 5:00 to 5:30 p. m., the highlight for which will be the symbolic lighting of the White House Christmas tree. On Christmas night, at ten o’clock, the Family Theater will present its adapt ation of Anatole France’s famous Christmas story, “The Juggler of Notre Dame.” . . . This will be the last issue of The Sun for 1947, and I would like to take this last paragraph to express my sincerest wish that each of you will have a happy Christmas and that 1948 will bring you the best of every thing. I would especially like to thank those who gave sc willingly to the Christmas Cheer fund to make this a joyous Christmas for others. Christmas Cheer Boxes Distributed Santa Claus arrived Tuesday, December 23 for 55 families in the county. These were the families whose Christmas was brightened by a box from the Community Christmas Cheer Fund. On Saturday, Monday and Tuesday morning, Fire Chief Sam Beam, Mr. T. O. Stewart, and volunteer firemen were working—filling each box with individual needs for the fam ilies to be given aid. Each box Contained clothes, toys for children, fruit and groceries, flour and sugar; and a green Christmas spray topped each one. Chief Beam, Mr. Stewart, and volunteer firemen distribut ed the boxes Tuesday to the families which were selected as the most needy and deserving of Christmas Cheer. Those who helped make the Community Christmas Cheer Fund a success have unanimous ly decided to make the fund an annual affair, based entirely on unsolicited donations as was the fund this year.

Household Goods Are Now Taxfree Household goods and furniture will not be subject to taxation after January 1, 1948, according to a statement made by R. Aub rey Harley, member of the New berry county delegation. In 1946, a joint resolution was passed submitting to the people the question of constitutional amendment to Section 4, article 10 of the constitution of South Carolina, 1895. At the last general election, the people voted favorably on the amendment which gave the legislature power to pass an act exempting household goods and furniture from taxation. Representative Harley stated that in 1947, an act entitled “an act to exempt from taxation household goods and furniture used in the homes of the own ers of such goods and furni ture,” was passed by the gen eral assembly iu the regular session. The substance of section one of the act is that all household goods and furniture used in the home of owners of such goods and furniture are exempt ed from taxation. Section two states that “noth ing contained in this act shall be construed as to exempt from taxation household goods and furniture used in hotels, rooming houses, apartments, or other places of busin.ess.” The act, which was approved by the governor on May 12, 1947 will take effect January 1, 1948.
