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.

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

the truck..
He was admitted to the New

but is expected to return to his
home in a few days.

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.
