VOL. 10; NO. 48 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1948 $1:50 PER ANNUM Life Company Holds Contest A selling campaign is now in progress by the field personnel of the Newberry Life and Health insurance company, in honor of the birthday of John F. Clark son, founder and president of the company. A. P. Faris, agent superinten dent, announces that this an nual affair is reported to be one of the most successful life in surance sales promotions in the state. At the end of the contest, agents and district managers throughout the state will attend a birthday dinner given by Mr. Clarkson. By The Way • ■ ■ By DORIS ARMFIELD Dr. Paul Heisey has a wonder ful group of kodachrome pic tures of various scenes which he has taken in Newberry. I saw them a few months ago when Dr. and Mrs. Heisey were kind enough to show them at a meet ing of the Professional Women’s club. Among the prettiest of the flower scenes were those made at the home of Dr. and Mrs. James C. Kinard, so I made a mental note at the time to go over to College Hill and see their flowers this spring. When I went over, I could see a few flowers, but none so beautiful as those in the pictures Dr. Heisey had, so I decided to investigate. When I saw Dr. Kinard the first of this week, I asked him about it - he told me that Mrs. Kinard “keeps them hidden behind all that shrubbery.” That didn’t end my investigation - I just went out to see for myself. Mrs. Kinard, who is one of Newberry’s most charming hos tesses, said she would be glad to have me look at the flowers. You know, if I keep asking questions. I’ll soon be an expert at identifying the many varie ties. Mrs. Kinard was patient with me, and answered all my questions - and this is what I found at the Kinard home, “hidden behind all that shrub bery:” In front of the house, border ing the shrubbery on, either side of the front door, there is a mass of snowy white candy tuft. Just behind the candytuft grow deep red tulips . . .they are so perfect they seem almost artificial. You can picture, can’t you, the white and red flowers, apd the green shrubs against the white house? You can get a glimpse of that scene from the street. Back out of sight, though, are more flow ers - placed in attractive ar rangements are camellias, aza leas in full bloom, a row of deli cate pansies of all shades, and more of those red tulips. The bulb plants, narcissus, hyacin ths, etc., have already bloomed, but later flowers will be in bloom by the time the pansies and tuplis are gone. AH of these flowers are in front of the house. At one end of the back lawn is a goldfish pond, and around this, Mrs. Kinard has planted, among other things, azaleas and camellias. At the opposite end of the long green lawn there is a border of yellow tulips and Dutch iris. An arch ed trellis, covered with red and white climbing roses intertwin ed, leads from the lawn into the rose garden. The roses aren’t in bloom yet, but I have promised myself .another trip over there in a few weeks, for I am sure Mrs. Kinards roses are as pretty as her other flowers. After taking all this in, I decided that Dr. Heisey’s camera doesn’t lie - if anything, it didn’t do justice . . . Members of the Chamber of Commerce did themselves proud with that banquet last Friday night. It just goes to show that Newberrians can cooperate and do something in a big way when they want to. Since the daily papers cover ed the affair completely, with pictures and all, there is little else to write about it, except, perhaps a few sidelights. For instance, I could mention the wonderful job done by the wo men of the Legion Auxiliary in serving the banquet (the coffee was really hot!), or I could tell about the work done by Pete Parrott and other Legionnaires in setting up the tables and tak-* ing them down. I meant to ask Cliff Graham how many gray hairs he added after the weeks of planning, but he seemed so happy about the way the ban quet went off I forgot about it. The decorating committee did a good job of brightening up the armory with a patriotic air —red, white and blue every where. Lovely vases of flow- es were placed at intervals on each of the long banquet tables . . . Rufus Suit and his Vet Quintet furnished music which Co-ops Have A Fine Meeting Audley H. Ward of Aiken, district farm agent of Clemson college, delivered the principal address at the annual meeting of the Newberry Electric Coop erative, Inc., Saturday after noon at the county courthouse. Congressman W. J. Bryan Dorn of Greenwood was also present, and spoke briefly to the assem blage of some 300 persons. Other guests recognized were A. P. Salley, mayor of Newberry; L. C. Graham, secretary of the chamber of commerce; and P. B. Ezell, Newberry county agent. T. B. Amis, president of the board of trustees, presided. Dur ing the business session, R. V. Lewis, manager of the coopera tive, explained the “capital cre dits plan” of operation, which members voted to adopt. Elec tion of trustees for the ensuing year was also held, and the fol lowing were named to serve: T. B. Amis, Dr. W. C. Brown, Hugh M. E|fting, H. O. Long, B. O Lovelace, David Luther Ruff, C T. Smith, George E. Stone, and D. L. Wedaman, Sr. “So long as the level of in telligence of farm people is beneath the level of intelligence of those in industry and labor, and so long as the level of in telligence of the leaders of farm people is beneath that of the leaders of labor and in dustry, agriculture doesn’t have a chance,” stated Mr. Ward. In discussing the difference between government aid and government control, Mr. Ward again pointed out the importance of education in a democracy. •‘There are those who think the government ought to con trol the railroads, the press and radio. There are those who think the government should guarantee employment to every body in the country; should limit profits of corporations and business: should guarantee me dical assistance for everybody who needs it. Germany had all of those things. You find com munism spread where there is ignorance, misery and poverty. If we are going to preserve this democracy, all people should be well educated and well fed.” Mr. Ward concluded his speech by pointing out that only when farmers in the South learn to cooperate with each other, will the income for those in agricul ture be brought in line with labor and industry. Congressman Dorn congratu lated the cooperative and mem bers for the fine work done in rural electrification in the county. “The better off your farms are, the better off your homes will be,” stated Mr. Dorn. “The better economic conditions your farms are in, the better off our state and country will be. I would like to say that of our American population, the last group to fall to an ism or any foreign ideology will be the farmers of America.” seemmed just right—not so loud that it was disturbing, but just loud enough to break the sil ence of the huge auditorium And everyone LOOKED so nice . . the ladies who were at the speaker’s table wore form- als, as did those who helped with the seating arrangements. Many wore lovely corsages and most of the ladies wh wern’t in formal attire were dressed up in “new look” outfits. I believe those at the speak er’s table and others nearby en joyed most the hand shaking and picture taking before the banquet proper. Judge Blease tried unsuccessfully to talk one of the photographers into tak ing a picture of him kissing one of the guests (it was me. Aunt Banna.) The new president of the Chamber, John Clarkson, said in his brief speech that no town could boast a board of trustees of a chamber of com merce more capable than mem bers of the board in Newberry. I thought also that no town could boast two more witty and entertaining speakers than the toastmaster, and the introducer —Dr. James C. Kinard and Judge Blease. Both are widely known for their eloquence, and for their wit. Both seemed at their best Friday night. Mr. Oliver, the principal speaker, was enjoying himself immense ly while Judge Blease talked on and on, turning around to Mr. Oliver occasionally to say “are you about ready to start talk ing?” After appropriating part of Mr. Oliver’s speech by touch ing on the fact that the speak ers grandparents were native South Carolinians, Judge Blease said, “well, I guess I’d better let this fellow Oliver talk.” The best thing about the ban quet was the speeches—none of which were too long or too short and all of which were interest ing- T u : l. i ST.

Dorn Enters Senate Race This week in Washington Con gressman William Jennings Bryan Dorn, representative of the third congressional district, announced his candidacy for £f seat in the U. S. Senate. Hte will make the race against Burnet R. Maybank, junior Senator from ,South Carolina, who has al ready announced for re-election. Mr. Dorn who last week vot ed against the European Re covery Program and voted to uphold the Presidential veto of the tax reduction bill, made the following statement: “I have always favored tax reduction, but in this crisis we cannot send billions to Eurojje, increase air power, have Uni versal Military training and the draft, aid to education, reduce the debt, back up our bond holders and have tax reduction at the same time. I have heard in Washington that the leaders plan to vote the taxes back on after the election, as well as gas rationing, OPA, etc. I condemn such chicanery. “The truth is being kept from the American people. The high er bureaucrats in Washington are releasing only the news they want the American i>eople to read. They are creating fear and hysteria to push their program through. The people as never before want the truth, honesty, and Christian statesmanship. I will continue to fight for a strong America and stand on my convictions if it means defeat. I would rather be right and tell the truth than to hold the high est office in the gift of the American x>eople. In addition to the silence and appeasement of some of our leaders at Potsdam and Yalta, I will discuss the abolishment of the two-thirds rule and the Waring decision in the coming campaign. ‘If the election is moved up, the county to county campaign tour is abolished, if the voting age is moved back to 21, if the Congress is in session , if they continue to create emergencies. I am running for the United States Senate this summer re gardless, and will fight until the last ballot is counted. If public office in America is auc tioned on the block to the high est bidder among jwessure groups and racial minorities, I will not bid. If public office is bought and sold in dollars to the highest bidder, then I can not bid. I will make a clean, vigorous campaign and do my utmost to rid America of xxiliti- cal machines, factionalism, pre judice and intolerance. All Americans in this crisis should ask for Divine guidance and re dedicate ourselves to the faith of our forefathers.” MISS NANCE NAMED TO HONOR SOCIETY Miss Emma Riser Nance, a Senior at Winthrop college, was one of the 23 Winthrop students who have been named for mem bership in the Winthrop chap ter of Kappa Delta Pi national honor education society.
