By The Way - ■ - What with ladies’ fashions changing so rapidly and radical ly these days, I try to keep a few months ahead on what’s go ing to happen next so I can keep the male readers of this column posted on what to ex pect; then it won’t come as too much of a shock. My most re cent research was in the realm of “hair-dos”, and it didn’t take very long to find out about the hair styles to go with the new look. Seems thut .short coiffures will be the order of the day. I wouldn’t let it worry you too much, though, if you happen not to like short hair. I’ve not iced that for the past several years, women have paid little attention to any current fad for hair styles. We wear our hair short or long, up or down, straight or wavy, with plaids or pigtails—and no one thinks any of the styles particularly odd. I’m all for the short hair new look myself—but mostly be cause it’s less trouble and more comfortable for summertime. We are always glad to hear from our out of town readers, and it makes us especially hap py when we get a note like the one from Mrs. T. F. Cooley at . Elkin, N. C. She writes “I surely do look forward to The Sun each week, and I enjoy the home town news.” Mrs. Cooley is a daughter of Mrs. C. J. Pur cell of the city. . . . The appeal made through this column for the Community Christmas Cheer fund was heard several thousand miles away— out in California. In a letter to the- bunpuDlisher, one of our California readers stated “I was glad to read of the generous response to the Christmas cheer fund ... I had planned to send a package as my contribution, but just at that time my Mother died and all plans for Christmas fell through . . ." The thought fulness of this reader is appre ciated, and I would like to ex tend our sympathy in her loss. Johnny Jones came in the of fice yesterday asking “Do you have a heart?" I was afraid to answer, so waited for Johnny to explain. It seems that the latest thing in the way of “na tional weeks” is National Heart Week, to be observed in New berry the week of February 8th, by proclamation of Mayor A. P. Salley. An explanation of just what this week means is con tained in one of the publicity sheets sent out by the nation al association: “. . . to awaken the public to the dangers of this killer which causes one out of every three deaths in the United States. The Heart association is also seeking funds for vitally needed scientific research in the field. This is the first time the Heart Association has issued a direct appeal for funds, and we are sure that when Americans know the facts about heart di sease, they will uphold our tra dition for generosity and promptness in meeting such threats to the national safety.” The Rotary, club is sponsoring Heart Week in Newberry. . . . The most welcomed occur rence of the week—the sun shin ing Sunday, Monday, Tuesday . . . after 9 freezing, gloomy, rainy days. About three more days of sunshine and I believe my toes will begin to thaw out. I sometimes get downright ir ritated with the radio. Take for instance a few nights ago. I had been listening to a news caster. The program was spon sored by some coal company, and the announcer went into great detail to inform the listen ers why they should heat with coal. That very day, I had been to the Farmers Ice and Fuel company. People were doing just about everything but get ting down on their knees, beg ging for a little coal—and none was to be had. But according to the man on the radio, there was coal a-plenty ... of course, I could just not listen to the radio. . . . Miss Lilia Boozer Miss Lilia Ann Boozer, 83, died Monday at the home of her sister, Mrs. W. B. Cromer, on Summer street, after a period of declining health.

During his impris onment, he worked on the farm owned by J. Ellerbe Sease, and was later repatriated. Several weeks ago, the Sease family re ceived a letter from the former prisoner. It was written in German, and Professor Both- well Graham of the Newberry College faculty translated it. The letter follows: “Dear Sease Family, “In accordance with your wish, I am sending you a few lines from Germany. Mother Sease, you begged me quite of ten to let you hear something from us soon and therefore I am complying with your re quest. “After spending a very fine time on your place working bn the farm and in the woods, we have arrived in my new home slowly but surely with our lov ed ones following a long and troublesome search. For un fortunately I could not go back to my old home. The Poles had driven all the Germans out of my old home. It is true, only too true, with only what each one- had on his back. And so it happened to my wife and children. My clothing and fur niture, everything I had, had to be left behind and my wife and children had to flee hastily. For otherwise, who knows whether today I should be with my wife and children. Many of the fugitives were overtaken on the highways and brought back. That was said to be frightful. The Poles treated them like wild animals. The bullies in humanly killed the defenseless men, women and children. “My old parents had to flee 300 kilometers (about 187 miles) and also lost everything they had. And after undergoing so much they found themselves in a strange land, utterly impover ished. “Not only my homeland but also the people have utterly changed during my absence, and in addition to that the whole economic situation so that my belt must be tightened more and more. “I may say that in comparison with my present plight, yond er in imprisonment we lived like princes. Very especially did we enjoy Mother Sease’s int erest in us. Often I think of midday meal at your home which was so delightful after hard prison work. It is indeed true that the women do not know what they are to bring upon the table the. neyt day as fugitives we lack everything and I think that a beggar cannot be so poor. “In your dear home with every desirable attention and care we were at peace, only that is no help since our freed om has been taken away. Yes, mother, you said very often “young man, if on your return to Germany you should be in difficulty then just write to me.” Then the words sounded to us very meaningless—as a prisoner would listen gladly to them. Often I long to have all that I had in your dear home in Ame rica but unfortunately here I must do without them. “I cannot complain. Every thing went along well with us because your son fully under stood our situation and treated us like human beings. I hope you were pleased with our work. I hope that right soon I shall receive a letter from you, a thing that will give me great joy. I wish with all my heart that my letter may find you in the best of health. At any rate, I wish you all, my dear Lady, a Happy Christmas with every blessing and good health. “A greeting to you, dear Mother Sease, and your dear family from one who thinks very often of you, “Fritz Heister, “Former prisoner of war, Camp Whitmire.” Ballots Mailed For Election Directors Ballots ill be mailed Tuesday, February 10, to all members of the chamber of commerce for the election of six directors to serve a two year term, accord ing to chamber secretary L.

Veterans’ Corner Complaints reaching the Veterans Ad ministration from some veterans who are dissatisfied with homes bought under the GI loan program indicate that many former servicemen are not fam iliar with their responsibilities under the loan program. Comments reaching VA offices indi cate that many veterans do not under stand one of the fundamental phases of the program: the requirements that property be appraised before the loan can be guaranteed. Here are the ans wers to questions many veterans have asked about the appraisal required for GI loans. Q. Who makes the appraisal? A. Appraisals are made by a private appraiser designated by the VA. His fee is paid by the veteran. •Q. Does the appraisal guarantee that the property is a good buy? A. Definitely not. The appraiser det ermines what represents, in his opinion, a reasonable value in line with present day market conditions. The appraisal does not establish that purchase of the property as a wise investment. Q. Why have an appraisal ? A. The appraisal serves two important functions. It protects the veteran from buying badly overpriced property. It protects the government from guaran teeing the loan on a home which does not have a reasonable market value. Q. If the VA accepts the appraisal, does that mean that the government guarantees that the property meets mod ern construction standards ? A. Positively not. When VA approves the appraisal it means only that VA feels that in light of conditions which prevail today, the property will bring the price established by the appraiser. Q. Then the appraiser is actually working for the veteran ? A. Exactly. It is the veteran who will pay the bill and who willl live in the house. The veteran, with the ad vice of the appraiser, should satisfy himself that the house meets the re quirements he wants. County Hospital Patients Listed Mrs. Lang Ammons, 927 Cline street; Mrs. V. O.
