VOL. 10; NO. 41 Newberry, South Carolina, Friday, February 20, 1948 81:50 PER ANNUM By The Way • ■ • At least two streets in New berry have new names since the sign-painters have been around repainting street designations. Over at West End, adjacent to Drayton street, the short street which I have always known as "Poplar” has suddenly become “Popular”—at both ends, too. I was surprised when we went home from work the other night, and found that our street had a new name. This time it’s Gildercrest. I think our street changes names with each fresh coat of paint. Several years back it was “Gilder Street”— but Gilder is actually three or four blocks behind us. Last time it was Jessica avenue, which is correct . . . and now it has become “Gildercrest”. I decided to do a little checking so looked up a map of the city. “Popular”, I find, really is Poplar—and the name given for the street in front of our home is “Gilder’s Crest.” 1 think the simple thing to do would be to re-name the street “Armfield’s Alley” . . . Jimmy Wiseman must be tired of reading in this column about the terrible weather we’ve had. Tuesday morning, he came down to the office to inform me that the sun was shining. . . Since I don’t seem to have much to talk about this week, I think I’ll quote an excerpt from “Seen Along the Roadside” written by J. M. Eleazer, who : also talks about the weather: “The other night we walked in the moonlight—just walked and wondered. “A glorious moon caught a bit of the light of the sun and threw it back in our path, and the whole earth was made soft in subdued light. “As usual. Tommy and Mary were along, and they did not want to turn back, as we talk ed of the stars and the infinities of space. Particles of matter with a spark, there we were, making short steps in a bound less universe and marveling. “Do you too like to walk at night? Whether it is dark or light, we find a wonderland out there. No lights, except the moon and stars—that’s the place to walk at night.” Mrs. Lelia Wheeler Mrs. Lelia Miller Wheeler, 78, widow of the late J. Sidney Wheeler, died at her home in Prosperity late Saturday night. She had been in ill health for several years. Born and reared near Pros perity, she was a daughter of the late A.

Exchangites Play Donkey Ball At College Tonight The Donkey Basketball game, which is being sponsored by the Exchange club and which will play tonight (Friday) only, at the Newberry college gym, is billed as the “sensation of the nation.” Proceeds from the game will be used for local charities and civic activities. It promises to be an eyening packed with plenty of laughs. All of the players are mount ed on donkeys and regular basketball rules are used except all players must throw ball and shoot for goals while astride the donkey. According to Miss Joni Lqw- rie, the counselor who is here working with the Exchange club, the string of donkeys which will be used in the game here will arrive by truck this afternoon. The donkey named Dick Tracy can be distinguished by his jutting jaw; Mae West is the gal with a mind of her own: Superman is little but mighty; Gypsy Rose Lee is the gal who won’t keep anything on, not even good ball players; Frank Sinatra is the name giv en the biggest hee-hawer in the lot; Mr. Milquetoast is not as gentle as his name would indi cate; Miss America is the one with the million dollar legs and tapering ears; Betty Grable is the one who is fat in the best places; Gravel Gertie and Baby Sparkle have B. O. Plenty. All the donkeys are worth see ing and plenty of excitement is promised those who attend the game. The game, which will be op ened when Mayor A. P.
