BY THE
WAY...
By DORIS ARMFIELD
Washington, Nov. 20 — Most
of you will know, either from
seeing me in Newberry Armis
tice Day weekend or reading
last week’s Sunpaper, that
there was a good reason for
the absence of this column
from last week’s issue of the
Sun. At the time I usually
write the column, I was at
GildSrcrest, and even though
the lawn was covered with
leaves. I didn’t have to rake
them!
It was so good to be back
in the City of Friendly Folks,
although I couldn’t help but
notice that the “Welcome to
Newberry” sign still wasn’t up
on the Columbia - Greenville
highway. I suppose the Cham
ber of Commerce has been too
busy concentrating on the Corn-
unity Chest Drive to think
about that sign. I talked for
a moment with Secretary Cliff
Graham, who told me that al
ready 85 percent of the goal
for the Drive had been met,
and they wer e expecting to go
over the top in the next few
days, so chances are that by
time you read this, the Com
munity Chest will be an estab
lished thing in Newberry, and
a good thing too.
I was sorry I couldn’t get
back down there before all the
leaves fell from the trees, al
though I was thankful to be
home at all. My friends who
came along, all of whom are
also struggling to be steno-
typists someday, were all
“damnyankees.” Two of them
had never been in the South,
and they seemed much im
pressed with our part of the
country. Some of the ideas
they had before going down
there amused me. After our
return to Washington, one of
them said “why. no one seemed
to resent the fact that I was
a Northerner.” What propa
ganda do they feed the North-
erers dbout the South, I won
der?
Every now and,, then I go
on a rampage aoout something
and one oymy pet peeves is to
see beautiful trees unnecessari
ly chopped down. The editor
of the Arlington Sun had this
to say in his column last week:
“For sake of the record, we
are impelled to register a very
specialized protest against the
School Board’s use of the for
mer Y.WLC.A. Vacation Lodge
site in Cherrydale for a junior
high. Our reason: the trees on
that land are too lovely to be
cut down.
“We are fully aware that
this protest will be held ir
relevant. and immaterial, but,
as we said, for the sake of the
record some one should speak
for those trees. On the seven
acres of land some ten or
twelve homes could be built.
Or possibly only six or seven.
But the best of the trees could
b e saved thereby. Perhaps we
should send each member of
the School Board a copy of
Mr. Kilmer’s famous verse.”
Also from the Arlington Sun,
a columnist. Jay Oliver, relates
this story propos to Armistice
Day:
• Several years ago the young
son of a Washington couple ac
companied his parents to Ar
lington Cemeter. He had heard
them talking about the Un
known Soldier but the whole
thing was a bit vague in his
mind. When he saw the guard
pacing up and down at the
tomb he was fascinated.
‘There’s the Unknown Soldier!’
he exclaimed. After watching
him for a while, he turned to
his parents and said: ‘If they
don’t know who he is why
doesn’t somebody ask him?’ ”
That story reminds me of an
equally inane one that I asked
Mother one-upon-a-time. I must
have been all of three or four
years old, and in those days,
an airplane was a novelty and
everyone rushed out in the
yard when one passed over.
I can remember that all air
planes were “Lindbergh.” While
we were living in Saluda,
“Lindbergh” passed over one
day and Mother rushed me out
on the porch to see. After
watching the plane for a few
moments, I asked Mother why
Lindbergh had his feet hanging
out? Of course what I saw
were the wheels of the plane,
but I was convinced that the
man was flying up there with
his feet outside.
The political situation in
Washington has somewhat cool
ed off, and little is heard on
the subject except for occasion
al guesses as to who will be
in the next Presidential cabi
net, or when the Trumans will
move to the Blair House while,
the White House is being re
paired. Much talk of already,
though, is the inauguration of
President Truman on January
20. It seems that this will be
one of the most extensive in
augural celebrations ever to be
held in Washington, with a full
week of inaugural activities
preceding the actual event.
Probably every hotel in Wash
ington has had hundreds of
cancellations and new reser
vations since November 2. Most
of the hotels wer e booked up
for inaugural week, before the
election. by Republicans. I
don’t imagine manv of them
will care to see Mr. Truman
take the oath.
FEWER PEOPLE woi^ld be in debt if they didn’t
spend what their friends THINK they make.

Johnnie Kinard
John Martin (Johnnie) Kin
ard died Friday, November 19
at the cc mty hospital. He had
been in declining health for
about two months and was told
oy doctors about three weeks
ago there was no chance for
his survival. “Johnnie,” it is
said, took the fateful news
calmly and sought to have as
many of his friends possible
visit with him during his re
maining days.
Johnnie Kinard was one of
the most thoughtful of persons
—thoughtful of young and old,
black and white. His courtesy
knew no race nor creed. He
was .a friend to dll.
A great lover of flowers and
gifted with the “green thumb”
to an extraordinary degree,
Johnnie distributed his flowers
among those in sorrow or in
beds of pain. He had a highly
developed sense of the beauti
ful and never tired of work
among his plants and flowers.
It has been a long time
since any death in Newberry
has occasioned as much genu
ine sorrow as that of Johnnie
Kinard. His humbleness made
him loveable: his cheerfulness
gave a lift to the sagging spirit.
Johnnie Kinard was 51 years
of age, was born in this city
where he spent his entire life,
except for the periods spent
in World Wars I and II. A
banker by profession, Johnnie
was employed by the Wiseman
hotel at the time of his death.
He was the only sqn of the-
late John M. Kinard, well-
known banker, and Margaret
Land Kinard.
Survivors include his mother,
and three sisters: Mrs. Jos.
Keitt and Mrs. John Norris, of
Newberry and Mrs. Arthus
McCarrell of Lancaster. Four
nieces also survive. They are:
Miargaret Land and Anna Coe
Keitt, Margaret McCarrell, and
Elizabeth Norris.

dale.
