VOL. 11, NO. 2 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1948 $1:50 PER ANNUM By The Way - - - By DORIS ARMFIELD My brother, when he got out of the Army said, “We always used to listen to Gabriel Heat- ter. He was so optimistic we’d start packing our barracks bags, getting ready to come home.’’ Pat Frank, in his highly enter taining satire on the govern ment. “Mr. Adam” had one of his characters say: “I don’t know how I could have lived through the war without Ga briel Heatter.” Nevertheless, I have stopped listening to his newscasts. Maybe others don’t listen to Mr. Heatter, but I doubt if any have the same reason I have. His program is sponsored by the manufacturers of a certain deodorant, which 1 don’t use because I happen to prefer another brand. But when I tune in Mr. Heatter, and hear that threatening voice saying “are you only half safe?” it gives me a self-conscious feel ing. I go around for days won dering if I’m only half-safe be cause I don’t use his product. And I will not be high pressur ed into buying something I don’t want. For fear of devel oping an inferiority complex albout the thing, I have just stopped listening to Mr. Heat ter Now that the Christmas lights are down, and I can look over head without being reminded that there are seven more shopping months till Christmas, I have been looking up again, and again I see something I don’t like. This time it is the flag on the courthouse square. Just look at it next time you’re in town, and you’ll see what I mean—unless there is a new flag there by time this is pub lished. The city council pro mises to do something about it so perhaps something will have been done by the time you read this I went down to Columbia last Wednesday to attend the state demlocratic convention. I feel safe in saying that the two most awed individuals there were Steve Griffith, Jr., and myself. . . .it was the first state convention either of us had at tended. It would do the whole country good to have more boys and girls of high school age as interested in governmental af fairs as Steve, Jr., is. But to get back to the sub ject, even though I was vitally interested in the proceedings and only after long hours would even take time out to go get a coke, I was disappointed. I don’t know exactly what I ex pected of the convention, but it wasn’t what I thought it would be. The temporary presi dent, Senator George Warren, made an excellent speech which Judge Blease recommended be published throughout the state. Governor Thurmond made the most “fiery” speech of the day, but it was the same thing which has been heard over and over for the past few months, since the President introduced his ci vil rights program, so the gov ernor didn’t cause much excite ment. Neither did the election of officers. When I comment ed on this, a reporter in the press gallery said, “don’t you know this is a steamroller? Ev erything was cut and dried last night.” Someone, looking over the crowd, remarked “everyone I see here is either in a political office or trying to get one." The few who weren’t, I believe, were the ladies and gentelemen of the press, who seemed more bored than anything else. Seen but not heard from on the floor were Senators John- stoii and Maybank, and sena torial aspirant Bryan Dorn. Somehow I expected these three to express their views and li ven up the convention, but none of the three had anything to say. During the long afternoon session, a few changes in the rules of the party were being debated, and in the course of motions, amendments, motions to table, etc., I became so com pletely confused that I didn’t know what was going on. I wasn’t the only one, it seems, for several times the delegates asked that a question be clari fied before it came to a vote. All in all, I enjoyed the con vention, but like everyone else, I was ready to leave when the rriotion to recess finally came at 7:00 p. m. Remember to honor the heroic dead of the World Wars by wearing a Poppy on Saturday, May 29th. Mr. and Mrs. D. V. Knight, 71 and 70 years young respectively, recently returned from a trip which certainly, for me, would have called for' a “vacation to get over a vacation.” After ten days of traveling thousands of What People You Know Are Doing Mrs. Nat Gist and Frank Mey ers of Columbia spent Tuesday in Newberry with Mrs. Gist’s sister, Mrs. May T.

NEWBERRY STUDENT PLACES IN CONTEST Frontis Frick, of 608 Glenn street, was one of the 560 school children out of 35,000 who was winner in the “Best Teacher Contest” sponsored by the Quiz Kids radio program. The ten children who wrote the best letters will each receive $50 in cash. The next 50 winners will receive $1 each. Frontis was listed in the last group, and in addition, will receive a gold Quiz Kid key making him an honorary Quiz Kid. The teacher picked by Fron tis as the subject of the essay was Miss Gertrude Reeder, prin cipal and first grade teacher at Boundary street school. Also listed in the 500-letter group was Drucie Connelly of Newberry route 2, whose sub ject was her teacher, Mrs. George A. Lindler of Saluda. The Sun has requested that copies of these essays be fur nished. to be printed at a later date. miles, however, both Mr. and Mrs. Knight said“we weren’t even tired - why, the mbrniing we got in, we walked home from the bus station”. Their trip took them by train from Columbia, through the Blue Ridge mountains and over the northern route, through Chi cago, Kansas City and on to Cal ifornia. There they visited San Diego, Los Angeles and other points of interest on the West Coast. They went to see a friend, Mrs. A. C. Bolt, in En- cenitas, which is about 60 miles from Los Angeles. Deciding to come back by the southern route, the travelers traded their train tickets for bus tickets and took off across the deserts and prairies, through Mexico, New Mexico and Texas, and eventually arrived in New berry, still not tired of riding. Mrs. Knight said she thought her husband was most impressed by Texarkana, because he had always heard so much about the place but didn’t think he would ever be there. Mrs. Knight es pecially liked the snowcapped peaks of the Rockies. “Every thing about the trip was won derful, though,” she said, “and it would be hard to say what I enjoyed most.” I have a souvenir of that trip, too; a key chain with a good luck charm from the Union Sta tion of Los Angeles, which Mr. and Mrs. Knight were thought ful enough to bring me. Hare Offers For Congress James Hare of Saluda stated yesterday to a reporter of The Sun that he is entering the race for a seat in the United States Congress from the third con gressional district.

Strange Worms Discovered Here Tince Davis believes that Paul H. Shull, who lives on the Columbia highway, has dis covered a way of keeping a supply of fishing worms with out the trouble of digging them even if he doesn’t know what kind of worms they are. Mr. Shull isn’t too sure about this, because he feels his “worm- trap” may not be foolproof. It seems that in the process of cleaning up some debris around his yard, Mr. Shull pick ed up an old tin can at the base of a pecan tree and found it filled with two dozen or more of most peculiar looking worms. He says they come closer to re sembling a Catawba worm than anything else, but that they aren’t Catawbas. They are shap ed somewhat like a midget alligator and have a snaky look. Mr. Shull brought his can of worms down to Mr. Davis’ place of business, but couldn’t find anyone in Newberry who could identify the critters, so he took them to the County Agent Paul B. Ezell, who was also stumped. Not to be outdone, the county agent sent one of the worms to the Clemson College extension service for identification, and as this is being written, he has not yet received a reply, so the worm still remains a mystery. Mr. Ezell doesn’t believe there are many of the odd-looking worms in Newberry, and says it is doubtful that they will des troy crops or be harmful in any way. “We like to be cautious, however,” said Mr. Ezell, “so we want to find out just what this is and if it is dangerous, what we can do to get rid of the worms.” Mr. Shull, meantime, is not wasting precious hours waiting to find out the technical name for the wigglers. He said he would try them out as fish bait today, and has installed another worm-trap under the pecan tree to get a supply of worms for his next fishing trip, just in case they are successful this time. 0AKUND Mrs. Tom Cameron and son, Allen of Camden spent last week with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sullivan and family of Clyde Ave. Mrs. T.

P. Baskin promised here to day. He said that as state chairman he would “see that the rules (enabling qualified negroes to vote) is carried out.” Baskin said in a press state ment: “A new rule of the Demo cratic Party of South Carolina enabling all qualified negro elec tors to vote in the coming pri mary of the Democratic Party was unanimously adopted by the State Democratic Executive Co mmittee and the State Demo cratic Convention in conformity with the decision in the prim ary case in the federal courts, and every qualified negro elec tor will have the opportunity of voting in the coming Democratic Party primary as a matter of right under Democratic Party rules by taking the party oath and presenting his registration certificate. “As state chairman, I shall see that the rule is carried out.” The party oath adopted by the state convention requires voters to swear that they “believe in and will support the social, re ligious and educational separa tion of races." Voters also must swear that they are not members of any other political party and that they oppose and “will work against any FEFC law and other federal law relating to employment within the states.” The rule to which Baskin re ferred complied literally with a U. S. District Court decision that “qualified negro electors” had the right to vote in party primaries. The convention made no pro vision for negros to be admitt ed to party membership or to participate in party affairs. Two state negro leaders an nounced last week that they would seek additional federal court action “for further relief from disfranchisement.” They were state president J. M. Hinton of the National Asso ciation for Advancement of Co lored People and Chairman John H. McCray of the South Caro lina Progressive (negro) Demo cratic Party. They contend that “a quali fied elector under the court’s decision not only exercises the court’s right to cast a ballot but to have full and complete participation in all party mat ters.” LEGION AUXILIARY NEXT THURSDAY The June meeting of the American Legion Auxiliary will be held Thursday night, June 3, at 8:00 p. m. at the home of Mrs. O.

A- contract has been signed between the county and the Southern Microfilming company of Columbia, calling for hund reds of the county’s most impor tant books of records on strips of noninflammable film made to last at least 100 and perhaps 1,000 years.

Meanwhile, the rolls themselves can be read with ease when pro jected by a desk reader back to normal size or larger. MISS HARMON TO GRADUATE MONDAY Miss Muriel Harmon, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. P.
