BY THE
WAY...
By DORIS ARMFIELD
Washington. Oct. 9. — The
nation’s capital has gone tele
vision-mad. Before I came up
here, I thought television was
something 'way in the future
but now I have come to the
conclusion that it is as calmly
accepted as radio. Quite a
number of people have televi
sion sets in their homes—and
bars in town have signs out
side “Television Broadcasts.”
I understand these places are
always crowded during base
ball or football games. A
friend of mine told me this
week that Columbia is soon
to have a television station,
and if I may become a Gabriel
Heatter for a moment, I would
predict that in a year, tele
vision broadcasts will probably
be in Newberry.
I hope, when you see your
first televised broadcast, you
won’t be as disappointed as
I was. I don’t know just what
I expected of it, but it didn’t
live up to my expectations.
First. 1 had the idea that tele
vision was—or could be—in
color, but I find that is en
tirely wrong—no way has been
discovered of televising color.
It probably didn’t help mat
ters that the broadcast I saw
was none other than Gene Au
try. but it merely reminded me
of the slapstick comedies of
years ago. No one can deny
that television is wonderful,
and if I had seen a football
game or something besides a
supposedly humorous program,
I might have enjoyed it more.
But the fact remains. I’m dis
appointed!
Elsewhere in this issue of
The Sun is an editorial written
by Davis Lee, Negro publisher
in Newark, N. J. I hope all
of you will read it. It ex
presses what I feel is the opin
ion of the intelligent element
of the Negro race, excluding of
course, the radical rabble rous-
ers. I wish everyone, parti
cularly Northerners who think
the South still holds the Negro
in slavery, could read it—es
pecially one portion: “While
there is plenty of race preju
dice in our nation, both North
and South, against the Negro,
there is more sympathy for
him. There is postively more
sympathy and real affection
for the Negro in the South
than you will find anywhere
else in this Nation.”
Because I think it is so
amusing, and believe you will
enjoy it too, I’m going to usd
a story which was written t>~
a community correspondent for
the^ Pontotoc Progress, a news
paper in Pontotoc, Mississippi.
The editor of that newspaper
says: “We d° not recall ever
having received from and of
our rural correspondents a news
story so complete as to detail
. . . nor do we remember any
news story published in any"'
newspaper that is so complete.
We hace pondered the news
stories about the Lindbergh ba
by. about the royal wedding
and even contemplated the de
tailed news soon to come con
cerning the heir-apparent, to
the British throne, but we
doubt if any of these have con
tained or will contain more
detailed news than our corres
pondent has written about the
explosion of a pressure cook
er.”
The story, exactly as writ
ten, follows:
Mrs. C. F. Pennington of Re
born Community was canning
string beans when the pressur
cooker, which she hed used for
almost seven years to can, cook
meats, vegetables and many
other dishes, suddenly explod
ed
Mrs. Pennington had cooked
seven qts. of beans, took them
from the cooker, cleaned the
oooker. and the petcock, exam
ined the cooker thourly, then
placed the jars in and returned
it back to the stove, placed
only one stick of wood . in the
stove.
Rang the dinner bell, change
the pants of her six months
old granddaughter in the bed
room joining the kitchen.
Checked the cooker again, the
steam was along five pounds.
Walked on the back pourch,
picked up a pillow case and
rubed it out. ‘
The family was returning
from the field for dinner. Her
son-in-law walked threw the
kitchen into the bedroom was
standing just one step inside
the bedroom looking at his
watch, her daughter had one
hand on the screen door going
into the kitchen when the sud
den blow came with-out even
a warning.
It sounded like a dinemite.
Mr. Pennington and the son
earning running from the barn,
the smok was coming from
every door and window. It
shook the windows in the Rush
home about seventy five yards
away. They came runing too
us. It was heard about 2 miles
away that we have report from.
Here is some of the damage.
Mrs. Pennington had a right
new, very heavy range cook
stove. It blowed this stove
from its bottom, one leg off
and screws from the other legs.
The stove turned over agains the
wall and lodged between the
wall and the bottom frame of
the stove and flu.
There was a fire, ashes. c har-
