NEARLY EVERYBODY IN NEWBERRY SEES THE SUM VOL. 10; NO. 40. Newberry, South Carolina, Friday, February 13, 1948 $1:50 PER ANNUM By The Way - • ■ Just as I put a sheet of paper in the typewriter to start this column, and was debating on whether or not I should men tion the weather this week, Chris Kaufmann walked in. I asked Chris how he felt about it and he said “I don’t know, but I know I’m tired of it. Can’t you make the sun shine?” Afraid not, Chris. We try to see that The Sun gets out at least once a week, but control ling Old Sol is beyond us . . . (this conversation took place on Monday, and you know about the weather here Monday so I don’t need to describe it . . .) The more I hear about this Donkey basketball game the Exchange club is to stage in Newberry, the more fascinated I am. Jim Abrams was ex plaining a little about it the other day. The Newberry club’s opponents will be the Exchange club members from Clinton— with donkeys. Each team will have the regulation five mem bers riding five donkeys and I am still worried about the ref eree who, I am told, must stay on foot. I’m afraid it might be underfoot. The members of the team must pass the ball and make the basket from donkey- back. The only time they can get off the donkeys is when the ball falls to the floor—then they can get off to retrieve. Sounds like fun . . . I think Mayor Salley did a good deed when, with the aid of Patrolman Bill Martin and Patrolman Bailey of the state highway department’s education division, he had Safety Patrol units formed in all of the city schools. I have watched these school patrolmen at their work in other parts of the state and in Washington, and I’ve often wondered why the schools here didn’t have such a program. If you happen to be riding by one of the schools at opening or closing time, you will see the boys and girls who have been chosen as patrolmen by their classes, directing pedestrian traffic and doing a good job of it. Those boys and girls should be as proud of what they are doing as the mothers and fath ers of all the students are, knowing that someone is keep ing a watchful eye against traf fic hazards. The Sdhoai Safe ty Patrolmen I’ve seen in other places always seem to take pride in their jobs. I’m sure those in Newberry will, too, with our encouragement and support . . . Something new has been add ed at the courthouse . . . some thing that has been needed a long time. It’s a bulletin board, giving the name and location of all offices (and occupants of same) in the - courthouse. It is placed near the front of the building, at the staircase going up to the courtroom . . , And speaking of that court room ... I haven’t gone into a full description of it before, because it is so hard to de scribe other than to say it is beautiful. The ceiling has been lowered and indirect flourescent lighting is from the ceiling. The floor is covered with green in laid linoleum; the judges’ bench, Clerk of court’s desk, lawyer’s tables, the chairs, jury boxes and railings are all done in ma hogany, trimmed with a band of sort of pea-green. New ma hogany pews have been placed in the spectator space . . . but you still can’t visualize the place by just reading these words. You’ll have to see it for yourself. The first judge to preside in the remodeled court room was Judge Frank Eatmon. He said “This is the nicest courtroom I have had the priv ilege of serving in . . .” Mr. McKinney, court steno grapher at civil court session this week, surprised a lawyer and a witness by transcribing an examination on his Sound- soriber, then playing it back during court recess. Aubrey Harley was the lawyer. Someone asked “Do you recognize your voice, Aubrey?” to which he re plied “No—that sounds just like a Southern politician.” I think he had Senator Claghorn in mind. . . Fashion Note You have heard the song which was popular not many months back, ‘Red Silk Stock ings and Green Perfume?” Well, I am not a connoisseur of per fumes, although I’m sure there must be green perfume . . . but . . . don’t be too surprised if you see the red silk stockings this spring. I heard from re liable sources that some of the store in Newberry already have in orders for pink, green and yellow stockings. And I read somewhere that dresses made of polka dot print, and pink stockings would be “good” this spring. That, to quote another song, is “taking it off a little too far ...” I liked the new long skirts from the beginning $1500 Collected In March of Dimes Contributions received thru Wednesday of this week in the March of Dimes campaign amounted to $1,456.20, accord ing to James L. Lipscomb, chairman of the drive in New berry county. The campaign was sponsored this year by the Junior Cham ber of Commerce, of which Mr. Lipscomb is president. The above amount is compos ed of contributions received from all city schools; Pomaria, Newberry Textile Mills, Mrs. J. E. Stokes’ school of expression; proceeds from the President’s ball; and by letters sent out and returned to the March of uimes fund. Mr. Lipscomb stated that approximately 20 percent of the letters mailed out have been returned. Contributions yet to be col lected are those from Mollohon and Oakland mills, Whitmire, Silverstreet, Prosperity, Little Mountain, Peak, Silverstreet, Chappells, Bush River school and Stoney Hill schools. Furth er proceeds will be realized from the March of Dimes boxes in local business concerns. Chairman Lipscomb predicts that the fund will go well over $2000 when a final count of all donations is made. CHAPPELLS We are glad to report that M. L.

Pool, Jr., who for several years attended to the duties of draw ing the names of the jurors, for the purposes of empaneling juries in this Court, in an un fortunate automobile accident lost his life. The Presiding Judge, who is serving his first time in the Court, did not have the pleasure of knowing this young man or coming in con tact with him. But the Court has heard from the officials and members of the Bar of this Court how highly this youth was regarded by all who came in contact with him in the per formance of his duties. They all speak of his pleasant and handsome appearance and of his unfailing courtesy and de meanor at all times. He is miss ed by all the officials and law yers. On motion of Mr. Blease, which motion has been second ed by Dr. H. K. Boyd, Clerk of the Court, the Court hereby, in this manner, expresses its ap preciation of the services so diligently, , faithfully and pleas ingly rendered by him. The Court for itself, the mem bers of the Bar and the Court officials, does hereby tender its heartfelt sympathy to the par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Jordan M. Pool, and to their two daugh ters in the bereavement \ they have suffered, with the wish that they may know that all of us mourn with them in the loss of this fine young man when life to them and to him seem ed so promising. The Clerk of the Court will please furnish a copy of this tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Pool and enter the same upon the minutes of the Court. (Signed) J. Frank Eatmon, Presiding Judge.

Forestry Movie To Be Made Here A motion picture crew, co operatively employed by 12 Southern state foresters and the U. S. Forest service, is in Newberry to film a technicolor motion picture on woods fires, John W. Clarke, Newberry dist rict forester with the state commission of forestry, and James B. Cartwright, ranger on the Enoree district, Sumter na tional forest, announced in a joint statement today. Most of the film will be shot on locations in the vicinity of Newberry. Local people wild be used in supporting roles. It will feature fires that get away from well-meaning folks who are do ing some spring burning. The movie will be used in nation wide forest fire prevention pro grams as well as in the South. Part of the motion picture crew arrived in Newberry Sun day and the rest on Monday. Tuesday the crew searched for locations called for in the movie script. Some of the locations have been decided upon, and arrangements are now being made with folks on whose land the picture will be filmed. Shooting of the picture will be gin as soon as the ground is a little drier and the weather clears up. The Southern state foresters motion picture committee want ed the picture shot in a terri tory most typical of the South. South Carolina was chosen be cause the large variety of tim ber trees and types of country will make it possible to film most of the picture here, thus holding down the costs of mov ing to locations and travel ex penses. In commenting on the picture, State District Forester Clarke, and U. S. Forest Ranger Cart wright said, “The making of this picture by the forestry de partments of 12 Southern states and the U. S. Forest service should result in a movie that is both entertaining and in structive. Since fire is one of the most serious obstacles to growing continued crops of trees in South Carolina, we are particularly pleased to learn that this picture will be aimed at keeping wild fires out of the woods.” County Hospital Patients Listed Mrs. Lang Ammons, 927 Cline street; E.
