By DORIS ARMFIELD
A meeting was held Monday
night of last week at the Cham
ber of Commerce to discuss
further the organization of a
Community Chest for New
berry. Leaders of civic and
service organizations gatherd
for the discussion, and I under
stand from Chamber Secre
tary Cliff Graham that all are
in favor of the plan. I’m in
favor of it too, provided it cov
ers most of the fund raising
campaigns, and eliminates the
many drives held each year in
the county. A definite decis
ion as to just what it will cov
er has not been yet, but I’m
sure the committee to work
out the plan will do what is
best to assure its success.
Another project in which the
chamber is interested these
days is turkey raising in New
berry county. A good group of
citizens met with the directors
of the chamber a few days ago
to discuss this project, princ-
ipaply the financial end of it,
for of course, nothing can be
accomplished without first hav
ing a means of financing. This
seems to have worked itself
out, and the group was enthus
iastic about promoting turkey
raising in Newbery. Joe Rob
erts, chairman of a special com
mittee to study the project, and
John F. Clarkson, president of
the chamber of commerce, gava
some enlightening figures
about profits to be had in tur
key raising. J. F. Hawkins and
Thad McCrackin told of the
success of other poultry raisers
whose farms they had visited.
Waldo Huffman, THE turkey
grower of Newberry county,
has agreed to take on much of
.the work and supervision for
the project. You will be hear
ing much more about this in
the next few months.
In case the excitement of
the turkeys and the community
chest has made the chamber
forget about it, I’d like fo- ■re
mind them again about the sign
out on the highway . . . you
know, the one that ISNT a
“Welcome to Newberry” sign
in its present conditions.
Mrs. W. E. Monts was telling
me about an experience her
brother is having, and I think
it is of sufficient interest to
pass on to you. Her brother is
Dr. P. D. Miller, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church at
San Antonio, Texas. He was
chosen as one of the two Pres
byterian delegates in the United
States to attend the World
Council ol Churches in Am
sterdam.
A card Mrs. Monts had from
him was written from Lucerne,
Switzerland, and told of the
beautiful country in the Alps.
He has also visited Geneva and
other points of interest on the
continent, and will visit Eng
land and Scotland before re
turning to New York by Clip
per on September 10th.
There is a saying that, “you
are never too old to learn,” so
I’m going to give the old adage
a try and see if it is true.
When you read this, I will be
in school. I left Saturday
night via the Silver Meteor for
Washington, and matriculated at
the Stenotype Institute of
Washington Monday. “But
what IS a Stenotype?” I am
asked. Well, it is a shorthand
machine, and I hope to be
come proficient at the opera
tion of it.
No, I’m not going to stay
away from Newberry. Every
body tells me that when I get
up there in Washington, I
won’t come home again. It is
true that I like Washington; it
is my favorite of all cities I’ve
visited or lived in. But I don’t
like it better than I like New
berry.
Jn fact, I am really sad at
the idea of being away from
home. Even though I expect
to be back by the first of the
year. I will miss being here,
making the rounds in search
for news. I would like to say
“thanks” right now to all of
those who have been so help
ful in the past year, and ask
you to continue to call The
Sun, No. 1, when you have a
news item.
I hope to continue this col
umn from Washington, but
don’t look for too many “sight
seeing” tours. I’m afraid that
I am not much of a tourist in
that sense of the word. How
ever, there are other things
which are of interest, and I
hope a Washington column will
be a weekly feature of the Sun-
paoer until I return.
I wish to advise that there
will be a copy of the New
Yorker magazine available at
Johnny’s Do j Nut Shop. You
know, Johnny gets only two
