By The Way - - -
By DORIS ARMFIELD
The paging of Mrs. M. J. Car-
wile list week left a note of
sadness in the hearts of many,
for she held the admiration,
respect and love of all who
knew her. She often told of how
much she enjoyed the visits of
her friends. I don’t believe it
ever oocured to her that her
friends received as much, or
more pleasure from, visits than
she did. An hour spent with
Mrs. Oarwile was an hour of
interesting and intelligent con
versation. usually on the most
up to date events, for even at
the age of 90, she was never
satisfied to retreat within her
memory and let things of the
present go by unnoticed. She
would reminisce occasionally.
Not long ago, when I was talk
ing with her, she let her mem
ory go back as far as the War
Between the States, when she
remembered the soldiers march
ing through Newberry. At that
time, she said “Dot, I’ve lived
through four wars - t hope I
won’t have to live through
another one.”
Besides her home, Mrs. Oar
wile had two other main in
terests; her church and her
many friends. Only recently,
she had been made an honorary
life member of the Woman’s
Auxiliary of Aveleigh Presby
terian church. For this life
membership, the Auxiliary do
nates a sum to help in field
work of the church, and this
amount is presented in honor
of the person who is given the
life membership.
Mrs Oarwile had an unwaver
ing faith, and to her, death was
nothing to fear. One would do
well to emulate her life.
I was disturbed to notice
several weeks ago that the grass
at the Water and Light plant on
Nance street was growing out
of bounds, and the grounds were
looking extremely untidy. I
asked Bill Wise why the place
wasn’t kept up, and got that
familiar answer, “Can’t get any
body to do it.” Passing there
Sunday, I saw that the grass
had been cut; rhododendron
and other flowers were in bloom
and once again to Water and
Light plant grounds are one of
Newberry’s beauty spots as they
have been for many years.
Thanks, Bill.
Well, the Christmlas lights are
still up, but at least I’ve found
that I’m not the only one who
objects to them. Since mention
of the subject was made in this
column two weeks ago, so many
people have said “I hope you
get someboby to do something
about those lights - imagine,
Christmas lights in May!” That’s
the way I feel, too.
The Chamber of Commerce
was able to put on a courtesy
campaign last year and award
monetary prizes; they found the
money somewhere to put on a
successful Christmas parade;
they were able to scrape to
gether enough pennies to out
do any town around in the way
of annual banquets. Wbnder
what all those visitors thought
of the progressiveness of New
berry when they glanced up and
saw that four months after the
holidays, the Christmas lights
were still in evidence? I know
the Chamber can dig up the
money somewhere to get those
lights down. If you are as in
terested in this project as I why
not do something about it?
Several weeks ago, I wanted
to get some information from
one of the teachers at Junior
high school. The telephone book
didn’t show a listing, so I eall-
the operator, “There isn’t a tele
phone at Junior high school”^ I
was told.
I don’t know whether it’s a
shortage of telephone lines, or
a shortage of funds, or what, but
it certainly seems to me there
should be a telephone in all of
the city schools. What do the
teachers do in case of an emer
gency? I know that school chil
dren quite often become ill
while in classes, and at times,
it might be serious. In a case
like that, does the teacher have
to leave her classroom unattend
ed while she goes to find a tele
phone? I called the high school
for the information I wanted,
and was unable to get it with
out a delay of some time. I’m
sure the parents of school child
ren would like to know that in
case of some emergency, help
could be secured without need
less delay. And I am equally
sure it would save time and
trouble for the memlbers af the
school faculty to transact necess
ary business. Telephones are so
much a part of everyday living
that it didn’t occur to me that
it would be impassible to get in
touch with the teachers or the
children in any of the schools
without making a trip to the
school. This is just my opinion,
of course, but I believe there
are others who might feel the
same way.
