=■- I THE NEWBERRY SUN Honored On Birthday Mrs. Margaret Fellers of Newberry, and Miss Goldie Glover of Elizabethton, Tenn., both patients at the County Hospital and both occupying the same ward, were honored with a surprise party on their birthday, September 12th, at 2:00 o’clock p. m. t the nurses of the second floor being the Hostesses. The only guests pre tent, outside of the hospital, were Mrs. William Hunter, niece of Mrs. Fellers, and Mrs. Dick Kinder, niece of Miss Glover. During the singing of “Hap py Birthday to You,” a table centered with a beautiful vase of lilies and roses, was rolled in the middle of the room and piled high with gifts from the nurses and many friends who had sent gifts. From the num ber of packages you would have thought that Santa Claus himself had just passed through. After the gifts were opened and examined, the hostesses served ice cream and cake. Mrs. Fellers, who has been a patient at the hospital for almost ten months, has many friends who called throughout the day to wish her “A Happy Birthday.” She looked very lovely in a lavender crepe with a corsage of purple asters and tuberoses pinned to her shoul der. Her friends all expressed their pleasure at finding her ;.o greatly improved in health and spirits. Miss Glover, not being a na tive of the city, is not as well- known as Mrs. Fellers, but is 'oved by all who know her” for her friendly manner and sweet disposition. She was not well enough to be dressed, but! looked very sweet in a pretty pink satin gown. She, as well as the other two occupants of the room. Miss May Dold and Mrs. Mollie Hudson, had a corsage pinned to her pillow. Mrs. Fellers and Miss Glover are both model patients, and if you want to know if they think Newberry County Hos pital is a model hospital—just ask them. Personal Items VERNON BOOZER, 7. INJURED BY TRUCK Vernon Boozer, 7 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Boozer of South Street, was painfully but not seriously in jured about 8:30 Wednesday morning when a pick-up truck driven by Pete Werts, ran over him. The accident happened at the Spartan Grain and Mill Com pany on Drayton street, when Werts started to turn left into the place of business. Vernon with other children on their way to school, riding bicycles, evidently didn’t see the truck and ran into the rear right wheel when the truck turned. Policemen J. B. Shealy and John Wood, who soon appear ed at the scene, said that the bicycle must have fallen on top of Vernon, thus protect ing him from the impact of the truck.. He was admitted to the New berry Hospital for treatments, but is expected to return to his home in a few days. Mrs. A. W. Murray and par ents, Rev. and Mrs. A. D.

Br Tt>J Kesting North America needs more waterfowl—for more hunters— fast. We could add 20 million birds to our supply of winged game at once claims Lt. Colo nel Ed Russenholt, well known water-fowl authority. That is, we could add 20 million birds if we make up our minds to shoot coot and like it. The coot, or whitebill, mud duck or moor hen (we are dis cussing the American coot, Ful- ica. Americana, not the big sea ducks), whatever name you know it by, is an outcast among waterfowl. Nobody likes him, man or bird. We’ll admit he is a villainous old varmint. But believe it or not, *o “shoot the coot” takes about as nice timing and swing as any other winged target; and he’s good eating. Many hunters compare the meat with that of the finest duck. The whitebill is readily iden tified in the field. About as big as a medium sized duck, the coot sits on the water, not IN I it as a duck does. The bird is an even, dark slate gray color with the head and neck dark ening to almost black. It has white under-tail coverts, and the familiar white bill. Whitebills inhabit marshes and open waters over a big chunk of North America. The nest is a haphazard affair of grass, reeds or rushes, usually built off the ground. Eggs are buff - colored, sprinkled with brown spots. Eight to a dozen make up the clutch. The young are very hardy, a big percentage seem to survive the predation, drought and fire which destroys such tremen dous numbers of ducks and geese. In the late fall the birds migrate slowly south, moving almost wholly at night. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service • estimates there are 20 million I of them on this continent. These 120 million birds will promptly j become gunners’ meat if hunt- ! ers will learn the simple, easy methods of preparing whitebill. First, don’t try to pluck white- I bill. Just split the skin along the breastbone. Peel it back. , Make sure all fat goes off with | the hide. Take out the breast and legs—and you’ve got the ! meat. You can soak the meat j in soda or salt water, but -it isn’t necessary. Skinned coot has no strong or unpleasant odor. Roll the meat in flour or crumbs, place in a frying pan with bacon fat or lard, cover the pan, and cook. There are, of course, many fancy rec ipes for preparing the meat; but plain or fancy, a platter of delicious whitebill is food fit for the gods of hunting.
