By The Way - - - By DORIS ARMFIELD I don’t want another man to say “new look” to me. I don’t want to hear a single member of the supposedly stronger sex, who claim they are impervious to the whims of clothing manu facturers. say that women are slaves to fashion. I went into a men’s clothing store in New berry last week, and rar. into a delegation of shoe salesmen. The shoes they were display ing for men’s wear were all colors of the rainbow, practi cally, and rather different to the usual shoes men wear. I asked one of the salesmen “are n’t those a little radical?” and got the reply “oh, this is part of the men’s new look.” A little investigation showed that not only shoes will have a new look. Men’s trousers will feature more pleats; sport coats will be cut with a low lapel, or in many instances will be collarless. And have you seen the pictures of new hat styles for men? Now Gentlemen of the New Look, we will see just how long you hold out against your latest styles. The newest gadget I’ve heard of which interests me is the device invented to keep drivers from going to sleep at the wheel of their car. I’m not so sure it would be a safety de vice. but of course I wouldn’t pass judgment until I’ve seen one operate. Since hearing about it on the radio the other day, I’ve been thinking about it. The announcer said that the device, which is in some way attached to the driver’s head, registers emotions and re actions and such, and when a driver is about to go to sleep or forgets what he’s doing, an alarm promptly goes off to re mind him. Now it might not be bad, if, when the proper time comes, the little gadget, with a soft voice would say, “you’d better wake up, you’d better wake up” in a tuneful sort of way; but when I think of alarms, I think of the one which wakes me in the morn ing. I’ve mentioned before that I have a musical alarm clock, but the trophic is that the music seldom arouses me, and after allowing five min utes for me to awaken in a pleasant manner, an alarm goes off which is loud and shrill e- nough to practically cause me to jump out of bed, mostly from fright. And that’s why I am worried about this gad get. Suppose a driver is going peacefully along the highway and is just about to doze. This jangling alarm goes off just as he relaxes, scares him out of his wits, he jerks the wheel, ^and ends up wrapped around a telephone pole. The chances are he might have come out of the stupor without being re minded. and no accident would have happened. I am allow ing my imagination to run away right now. I’m sure the brains who were brilliant enough to think up such a device would be brilliant enough to put an alarm on it which wouldn’t jar the driver into doing anything drastic. Anyway, I’d like to see it demonstrated. As for me. I’d rather take along a thermos jug of black coffee to keep me awake if I were driv ing at night. I have never yet heard a group of singers (other than professionals) who could com pare with the Newberry College Singers under the direction of Prof. Milton Moore. I went over to hear the performance the singers gave for the county high school students Tuesday morning. My only complaint is that it was- too short. Prof. Moore doesn’t have the enroll ment to select from as, say, the University of South Caro lina has. I heard the Univer sity Singers when they were here a month or so ago, and their performance, in my opin ion. couldn’t hold a light to the Newberry group. I am not just ibeing partial, either. I have a way of writing what I believe is true, and not writing what I don’t believe is true. The group really is excellent, and Prof. Moore is to be con gratulated. If you haven’t heard them this year, you should before the season ends. I believe they are to give at least one more public perform ance in Neberry before the end of the school term. School children always have their likes and dislikes when it comes to their teachers. I sup pose I had some dislikes, too, but right now, as I think back I really can’t remember not liking any of my teachers. I was a little afraid of some of them, but I don’t believe I ac tually disliked any. With the exception of one of my teach ers, it would be hard for me to pick out any particular “fa vorites.” But that one I will never forget, and what brings on this comment at this time What People You Know Are Doing Mrs. J. N. Burgess returned Sunday from Latta, where she visited for ten days with her mother, Mrs. Henry Stalvey. Mrs. Wilton Todd was called to Charlotte, N. C., last week end because of the death of her infant nephew. While there she also visited her father, who is undergoing treatment at Charlotte Memorial Hospital. Miss Mary Ann Todd spent the weekend in Piedmont with friends. Mrs. James Smith is spending this week in Greenville with her sister, Mrs. Lois McMillan. Nathan Morris, of Hender sonville, N.

Air Force through the local Re cruiting Unit here in Newberry. Private Bickley was ordered to Langley Air Force Base, Langley Field, Virginia. CIVIC LEAGUE MEETS AT WISEMAN HOTEL Dr. Heisey of Newberry Col lege will exhibit pictures at a meeting of the Civic League which is to be held Monday night at the Wiseman hotel. A full attendance is desired. is the announcement that at the end of this term she is re tiring. I am referring to Miss Gertrude Reeder, for many years principal and first grade teacher at Boundary Street school. I can’t imagine Boundary without “Miss Gertrude.” When we moved to Newberry from Johnston, I had just started to school there, and entered the first grade here. Miss Ger trude was my teacher, and I will always remember, eve n if I WAS a little young at the time, how nice she was to a newcomer who didn’t know any of the other children. There are so many things that she did for me. just as she did for all of her pupils, that I couldn’t begin to mention them all. I know that every child who has ever started the first grade at Boundary has had a good start on his or her edu cation. Miss Gertrude followed my “career” through Boundary, Ju nior High and High School, just as she did with all of her students. I believe one of the few times I have ever hung mjy head in humiliation was the night I graduated from high school. I passed all of my studies all right, but I’m afraid I wasn’t among the smartest of the students. After graduation that night, Miss Ger trude said to me “Doris, I was so sure you’d be an honor student.” And I was ashamed, because Miss Gertrude seemed to be so disappointed. Maybe she has forgotten that; I don’t know, but it made an impres sion on me which I won’t for get, and it made me work just a little harder at anything I undertook in future years. I’m sure that every student Miss Gertrude has ever taught will feel as I do—that there has never been a better teacher in Newberry’s public schools, and that Miss Gertrude will be missed at her desk at Boundary.
