clover was grazed until several

the cattle off so as to get a
crop of seed. After the clover

will be grazed by cows and

for the past several years.
Mrs. H. H. Huggins in the
Pomaria section is planting ten
acres of serecia which she
plans to use for hay or grazing
This field, in front of Dan Ber-

provide good land cover and
protect this class III land from

Parker Martin has planted
six acres of sericea on his farm
just below Newberry on the
Hartford road. This field has
been terraced and the sericea
will produce good hay or seed
and conserve and build up the
soil for other crops later on.

and US Air Force Recruiting

enlisted with dependents.
The new ruling also states
that veterans with dependents,
even though enlisting within
90 days of discharge, must al
so be entitled to grade four
or higher in order to secure
enlistment in the Regular Army.
Enlistment in the Air Force
of men with dependents is
still limited to men who are
authorized one of the first
three grades. However, for
mer Air Force men reenlisting
withing 90 days of discharge
may be enlisted in the Air
Force in any grade regardless
of the number of dependents.

the public to visit them at their
new location.
Memorial Day
Is May Tenth
The method of observing
Confederate Memorial Day in
Newberry has changed with
changing conditions. As long
as the Veterans of James D.
Nance Camp were able to
march to the opera house
and up the steps, there the ex
ercises were held—music, ad
dress by a prominent out-of-
town speaker, and the presen
tation of Crosses of Honor. Fol
lowing this program the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy served
an abundant dinner to the old
soldiers and their wives. As
the Veterans became too feeble
to climb the steps to the opera
house, their numbers growing
fewer and fewer each year, the
exercises were held on Monu
ment Square, participated in
by all of the school children,
each of whom brought flowers
for the monument. When the
last Veteran had gone to his
reward, the school authorities
felt that ther e was no reason
for this continued participation
by the children, and the ob
servance was transferred to
Rosemont cemetery, to be held
on the Sunday afternoon pre
ceding the tenth. The atten
dance there has grown smaller
with the years. Since it is the
boys and girls of today whom
the Daughters of the Confeder
acy wish to have impressed
with the truths of Confederate
history, the two chapters are
very grateful to the school au
thorities for the opportunity of
holdnig the Lee-Jackson birth
day exercises in January and
now the Memorial Day pro
gram in the high school audi
torium. The Daughters are ex
tending a cordial invitation to
all of our citizens who love
and revere the memory of the
Confederate soldier to be pres
ent on Tuesday morning, May
10th at 10:20 at the High school
auditorium when an interest
ing program will be presented.
For years Boy Scouts, ’under
the direction of Scoutmaster
Wright Cannon have rendered
and appreciated service by
placing a Confederate battle
flag on the grave of every vet
eran.
The program will consist of
music by the glee club, and ad
dress by Mr Frank Jordan, and
the presentation of a large Con
federate flag from the two
chapters to the High School.
