I had the privilege, the other night, of attending the premier of “Newberry In Color,” a 35 minute colorfilm motion pic ture depicting the City of Folks. It will show at the Wells Theater Monday, Tues day and Wednesday, March 21, 22 and 23, and should, in my opinion, be seen by all New- berrians. ‘iNewberry In Color” was filmed by Henry Burton Wells of Augusta, Georgia, and Henry Burton Wtells, Jr. of Newberry. Production has been underway, off and on, for a year, and the end result will make you won der why you hadn’t realized before what a really beautiful place Newberry is. Ably narrated by Prof. T. E. Epting, the movie features all local talent — Misses Saffie Clary, Peggy Hutchinson and Carolyn Huffman, who arrive in Newberry courtesy Shealy Airport to look over the city. They are met at the airport and brought to the business district by Bill Smith. The movie begins with the young ladies having a birds- eye view of Lake Murray en route to Newberry. Planes for the air photos were owned by Olin Shealy, and piloted by Olin and Dr. A. W. Welling. Aerial views of a number of Newberry’s “landmarks” are shown before the plane finally lands at the airport, and the girls are taken to Newberry, put out at the corner of Gil der and Weeks, and left to take in the town. They visit a number of shops and stores in the city, and you had better be on the look-out when you see the picture, for you might see yourself walking up the street, or waiting on a custom er in your store, or almost anywhere. After completing the tour the young ladies de cide to take a rest and take in a movie at the Wells. While they are enjoying the movie, we, the people, are taken on a scenic color tour of New berry. There are pictures of all the schools and churches in town, and judging from the number of pupils leaving the school portals, I imagine that almost all of the students will be able to see themselves. Some of the church pictures were taken on Sunday, so you might also see yourself shaking hands with the preacher. Margaret Hunter Park with all its spring garb is beautiful ly portrayed, and many of the beautiful homes of the city have been included in the around-the-town trip. I saw a number of familiar faces, among them were John son Hagood Clary trying to sell a hat to John Clarkson; T. Roy Summer, Sr., Bill Wise and Dave Caldwell walking down the street, evidently on the way for morning coffee; Dr. Jim Kinard, Fred Dom inick, Mayor A. P. Salley and many others emerging from a meeting at the Newberry Ho tel; Miss Ethel Jones and Miss Bertha Boylston and other teachers at their respective schools; Dr. A. W. Welling talking with J. W. Earhardt, Jr.; and could that have been me sitting at the typewriter in the Sun office, pounding out a By The Way column? Someone suggested, after the premier the other night, that the Chamber of Commerce might use the film for adver tising the City of Friendly Folk. It is certainly the best advertisement I have seen for Newberry, and H B. Wells & Son are to be commended for the wonderful work they did in making the movie. Don’t miss it! Boy Locked Up For Ten Years Boston, March 14.—The fan tastic story of a 14-year-old boy who was locked up for more than 10 years in a tiny room and who looked like a "wild animal” was revealed in Roxbury District Court today. Not knowing whether he was a boy or girl, Gerald Sullivan’s sole view of the outside world was a patch of sky he could see through his barred win dows. His mother, it was re vealed, kept him prisoner. He could not read nor write. He had never seen a dog. Or a cat. He didn’t know what policemen were. Tames and toys were unknown to him and his tiny room had a single army cot as its only piece of furniture. There weren’t even pictures on the wall. Gerald escaped yesterday and was pickd up by a policeman who saw the “wild creature” roaming tha street barefoot, and wearing cast off women’s clothes. The officer first thought he was a girl because of the shoulder length curls. Gerald couldn’t answer many questions and he was taken to the police station and laTei put into a foster home for the night.

COLLEGES STREAMLINED Columbia, March 14. — A South Carolina negro leader has asked presidents of two state colleges for whites what they plan to do about enroll ing negroes. The request came from James M. Hinton, state president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo ple. He wrote President George D. Grice of the College of Charleston and President Hen ry R. Sims of Winthrop Col lege at Rock Hill. Hinton said negroes wanted to enter both schools, and had asked NAACP aid. Hinton said the NAACP be lieved negroes were entitled to attend bdth colleges because they were tax-supported. Other wise, he argued, negroes are victims of discrimination. In another letter, to the Charleston county legislative delegation, Hinton wrote: “The county and city of Charleston are not financially able to operate two colleges, and if they were, the NAAPC would not be interested in sep arate schools.” r The Charleston city council recently transferred the college property to the school’s board of trustees. Funds for the col lege were allocated in the cur rent city budget, and are being used. Mayor Wiliam McG. Morris on has said he would ask the city to end its financial sup port to the college rather than admit negroes. Harold A. Mouzon, chairman of the board of trustees, an nounced that he received no enrollment requests from ne groes. State Senator O. T. Wallace of Charleston said he would refer any negro enrollment re quest to the county council. KAREN THERESA STONE Probate Judge and Mrs. E.

The new county supply bill for the year beginning July 1 has been introduced in the House by Representatives Pope and Lake. The bill for the coming fis cal year is increased by sever al thousand dollars. Taxes, however, are expected to be about the same. Th e new bill carries consid erably less wordage than has be§n the case heretofore. The bill is now terse and in lan guage easily understood. Increases in the bill are brought about by an increase in road maintenance of about $30,000; 4,000 more for .the gang, and a thousand more for the county home. Th e Miscellaneous Contingent fund is increased by $12,0* From this fund will come all contributions. Hereafter the unexpected expenses and any commissioners will make the contributions to all causes. The county delegation has relieved itself of this autority, a move long delayed. Those who want to ride the county for pet pro jects in» the future will have to homswoggle Messrs Shealy, Schumpert and' Lominack in stead of the long-suffering dele gation of lawmakers. All fees are to be paid direct ly to the treasurer of the coun ty when the new bill becomes effective. A $500 increase is provided for the probate judge in lieu of fees heretofore re tained by him. The county treasurer will issue authoriza tion for services on the various offices as payment is made to him. The fog has been taken out of the supply bill. It is an understandable document. The delegation deserves commenda tion. Drive For More Student Nurses The Auxiliary to the S. C. Medical Association in Coop eration with the S. C.
