BY THE WAY.. *« By DORIS ARMFIELD Did you ever hear of Glori fied Spuds? Neither did 1, until last week when I was in Raleigh. I though I had seen potatoes cooked in every way it was possible to cook them, but now I find that something new - has been added. We were looking for a good place to eat in Raleigh, and someone suggested a restau rant called the “Humpty Dumpty” on Route 1, about five miles north of Raleigh. We went out there, and since the place looked nice outside, decided to try it. It is very at tractive and clean and the ser vice is excellent; the atmos phere is very informal and al though no floor show is offer ed, the pleasant conversation of the young man I presume was the chef, whose name I later discovered was Willard Morris, was enough for enter tainment. For example, one of the customers had asked for a second order of hot cakes, and on the second serving, our friend Mr Morris neglected to take more syrup to the table. The customer asked about it. and Mr. Morris replied, “Oh, did I forget the syrup? Well, if you got perfect service, you’d think you were at home.” The waitresses who added much to the scenery as well as to the service were Mrs. Billie Bell and Miss Hazel Phelps. But to get back to the Glori fied Spuds. It seems that the idea was originated by Miss Kathryn Ellington of Raleigh. They are just french fried po tatoes, but instead of the us ual strips, they are in cork screw circles; cooked in this way, they brown much nicer, look much better and even seem to taste better than or dinary french-fries. I, of course, had to see the machine that cut. the potatoes that way, so Mr. Morris brought it out of the kitchen for me to take a look. It is called a “String- master” and is made by the California Engineering Company of Los Angeles, in case any one would like to try it. Besides the Spuds, I might add that all of the other food we had there was delicious and I highly recommend the place to anyone traveling U. S. Highway 1. Many people traveling in un familiar territory faithfully fol low the recommendations of Duncan Hines as to places to eat and places to stay. When I was in Washington, I tried one of these Duncan Hines’ recommended places to eat. Evidently Mr. Hines hadn’t been around recently, or else his tastes and mine aren’t the same. I found the food terrible and the service even worse, and since that time I shy away from Mr. Hines’ recommenda tions and go at things the hard way, finding out 'for myself the good places. For those of you who pre fer a nice tourist home to a hotel, I would like to mention the place I stayed When I was in Raleigh. It is called the “Yellow Gables Tourist Home” and is also on U. S. Highway 1, about a mile, I would say, from the State Capitol. Mrs. William R. Johnson is proprie tor. It is an attractive home inside and out and everything is spotless. There is plenty of heat and plenty of hot water, and, it seems, always plenty of guests. If you are going in that direction anytime and would like to stay overnight in Raleigh, I’ll be glad to furnish the address and phpne number of the Yellow Gables. A MAN WHO is good for making excuses isn’t very good for anything else. Civil Service Examinations The U. S.

JONQUILS FOR SALE — Mrs. Joseph J. Kilgore, Newberry route 2. Applications Now Being Accepted Columbia.—Something over a thousand families will move into the State Parks this sum mer to spend their vacations in the attractive cottages at these public areas, says an an nouncement from the State Forestry Commission’s Colum bia office. Applications are now in or der requesting the use of these cabins and indications are that the 78 units will receive heavy use all summer long. In fact spring and fall occupancy of the housing units is becoming more and mor e popular. Myrtle Beach State Park and Ed is to Island State Park are much in demand by those pre ferring the seashore, while the 31 cottages at the two moun tain state parks of Oconee and Table Rock have a strong fol lowing. Cheraw in the sand hills; Poinsett in the “High hills of Santee;” along with Givhans Ferry on the banks of the Edisto, are inland state parks that also claim their friends Because the applications for cabins exceed the supply, draw ing by lot is practiced to de termine the order in which ap plications will be filled. Num bered tags of all applications received by March 1st are plac ed in a container, and at a public drawing, disinterested persons pull the numbers one by one. Assignments of cot tages are made on this basis. The State Park cottages gen erally are equipped to accom modate six persons, with some smaller units for a family of four. Weekly rentals from $12 to $30, and it is necessary to limit occupancy to one week. Applications should be ad dressed now to the South Car olina State Commission of Forestry, P. O. Box 357, Col umbia, stating -park desired, type of cabin, and giving op tional choices of date. Do not send any monfey at this time, says the State Park announce ment, but applications must be i received this month to be con- i sidered' at the March 1st draw ing. Jersey Dairymen Met Wednesday • The Lower Piedmont Parish of the South Carolina Jersey Cattle Club held its annual meeting last Wednesday pight at Hotel Wiseman. This or ganization consists of the own ers of Jersey cattle in New berry, Laurens and Saluda counties. The purpose of the Parish or district club is to interest more farmers and Jun ior club boys and girls in pro gressive dairying. Mr. C. T. Smith of Kinards presided at the meeting in the absence of President I. B. Duck, Jr. of Newberry. The officers elected for 1949 are as follows: i President, C. B. Parr, Jr. New- : berry; Vice President, Furman Epps, Newberry; Secretary- Treasurer, Jim Wheeler, Sal uda; and Henry Parr, New berry. Publicity Chairman. The meeting was opened with a very interesting discussion on the need for a quality milk program in tms area. This dis cussion was Ted by Mr. C. B. Parr, Jr. and the American Jersey Cattle Field Represen tative, Curtis Hobson of Salem, Virginia. It was reported that the trend over most of South Carolina is for commercial dairies to purchase milk from dairymen on a weight butter- fat basis. It was pointed out that this trend should have a definite value in improving the quality of consumer milk. Since the Jersey is the only dairy breed with a national butterfat average of over 5% a greater volume of Jersey milk mixed in the dairy plants with that from the lower test ing breeds would improve the quality of the average bottle of milk. A/ program of Jersey breed promotional work was outlined for 1949. Theclu^ fully realizes that the best breed promotion al results come from efforts ex pended on farm boys and girls. Therefore, a good amount of the work outlined for this year is to be in close coperation with the junior dairy program^. An invitation is being extend ed to all 4-H and FFA boys and girls to become a junior (Contiued on Back Page) W UTLsU VOL. 11—NO. 40 + NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA.PRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1949 4 81.50 PER YEAR Personal Items . . . . Another pleasant thing about Raleigh was that I didn’t have a train “running through my room” every fifteen minutes. It seems that most of the time when I am away from home at night, I manage to be in « railroad center, such as Flor ence, or Sanford, North Caro lina. and hotels seem to have a habit of being located near the railroad tracks. When you’re in one of these places and trying to go to sleep at night, you’re sure that the trains come through the hotel at LEAST every fifteen min utes, and that the engineers of the diesels start blowing that mournful whistle about ten miles before reaching the town, all the way through and for ten miles on the other side. It isn’t conducive to good sleep ing. V day seldom passes at a /eminent hearing without ne amusing incident coming In the hearing at Raleigh, ; of the attorneys was trying confuse a witness, but the tness refused to be tricked o giving information he did- want to give. The conver- ion went something like this; ‘Now, Mr. Witness, did Mr. lith tell you to discharge s employee?” ‘Yes, sir.” ‘Well, when did you tell . »» ‘Right after he told me to l her.” ‘And when did he tell you tell her?” ‘Right before I told her.” think the attorney gave up Little Phillip Plampin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Plampin, has returned to his home on Col lege street Extension from the Columbia Hospital where he was treated for injuries receiv ed when hit by a car recently.

Congratulations are in order for “Ikey” Blalock and Coke Dickert who successfully and accurately completed the cross word puzzle in the January 30th issue of the New York Times, so they go to the top of the list of WON YT C WP (Workers of New York Times Crossword Puzzles). I find that among the other WONYTCWP enthusiasts are Misses Elizabeth and Mazie Dominick and Mr. Harry Dom inick. “Wle take turns about working them,” Miss Elizabeth told me. “Sometimes it takes a day, sometimes weeks, but we never stop until we com plete them.” That’s the way those puzzles are—you become so interested in them, and work so hard, then get disgusted and throw them aside, declaring you’re through. An hour later, you’re right back at it again. I guess it’s just too much of a chal lenge to put aside permanent ly. / , Harry, Jr. and Ruth, who are making their home there while Major Buzhard is taking a special course at Camp Le- Jeune. v Mr. and Mrs. T.

Concert Artist At The College Continuing the series of artist concert programs being pre sented at Newberry College during the current session, Steven Andrews, baritone, will be presented in Holland Hall Auditorium, on the evening of Friday, February 25th at 8 p.m. Mr. Andrews is described as one of the country’s promising young artists. He possesses a naturally beautifiul voice, as well as a fine stage presence. He has already made his mark in radio, and has been a par ticularly outstanding perform er in oratario, having sung the lead in the “Elijah,” “The Crucifixion,” and the “Seven Last Words.” So persuasive was (Mr. An drew’s voice, even before he thought of a singing career, that Pasquale Amato, the fam ous bearitone of the Metropoli tan Opera, on hearing him, urged him to make music his life’s work. Mir. Amato had chosen Mr. Andrews to sing the part of the Doctor in La Traviate, and was impressed by the potentialities of his voice. .Another- noted singer who has little doubt that Mr. Andrews will become one of th e country’s noted baritones is the famous concert artist, Reinald Werrenrath. Mr. Wer- renrath said, “Mir. Andrews is the possessor of a fine baritone voice, has a very definite feel ing for the mood and the text of a song, anl is an all-around musician.” That audiences are in full agreement with Mr. Werren- rath’s view is seen in the im portant engagements Mr. An drews has fulfilled. In addi tion to his regular radio ap pearances over WDAF and KOZY in Kansas City, Mis souri; as a G.I. he gave recitals at Norwich, Bath, Coventry, Birminham, and Packington Park, in England. He was also soloist for a series of orchestral concerts at Unity Farm, Kan sas City. Now a regular soloist at St. Vincent Ferrer church in New York City, Steven Andrews is setting the stage for a lasting career.
