THE | EWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. — — — AS JUNIOR PULLS ON POPPER'S SHOES ... F.D.R. Treads Across the Political Stage . . . NEW DEALERS RUSH TO SHINE 'EM By H. I. PHILLIPS NEW ROOSEVELT THREAT... It looks as If there is to be an other Franklin D. Roosevelt in the American political picture, like it or not. The big build-up for Junior is on and he starts off with this advantage or handicap, all depend ing on your viewpoint: He looks like popper, talks like popper and screens like popper. He is what might be called “a spittin’ image." * Even if it makes yon wince, there is no escaping the fact that ail these things shape up into an appeal to millions of American voters. Franklin Jun ior is a mere kid, a long hop from a statesman and a green hand on the squad, but the name, the model and the man ner represent advertising as sets. * THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD” (Isaiah XL, 31) O WEARY one, lay hold on God and claim This glorious promise, prove its depth and length, And let it warm your being like.a flame: Who waits on God, he shall renew his Strength. Your weariness shall pass forevermore; You shall forget your sorrow and your tears. You shall be young again—God will restore The years to you, the seeming waited years. You shall mount up as eagles, you shall fly , _ On Strong swift pinions through the dazzling noon, Or cleave the night on wings to reach the sky, One with the racing wind, the Stars, the moon. And’you shall run and not be weary, Heart, The golden hills shall fall beneath your feet, The journey’s ending will be as the Start, So fresh you will be, and the way so sweet. But more than lifting wings, or Strength to run. Will be the joy, after the old restraint: To walk unburdened, free beneath the sun. The long bright miles before you, and not faino. t&lace vMcU/ Any company selling soap, shav ing cream or cigarettes that had lost its trademark and suddenly discovered an exact duplicate would cheer no more loudly than the New Deal addicts are cheering at the moment. They think Junior has the same box-office appeal. “Run this right," declared a smart Democratic politician the other day, “and in five or six years there will be plenty of voters who will think daddy has returned from the grave." "Wanna bet?” is the an swer of others. “The imitation never sells like the original. No matter how they stage-manage it. Junior will always be just a copy.” But neither side is positive. And that’s what is causing so many arguments. * Elmer Twitchell went out as an Inquiring Reporter the other day and asked the question, “Do you think F. D. Roosevelt, Jr., is ever likely to be President?" The re sults follow: McSheddy, Jabez, Z., house- painter and lifelong Republican: “When you ask me that smile!" Botts, Peter D. L„ skywriter and Democrat: “The kid is as good as in. I knew the old man woud spring a surprise like this.” Hemstitch, Rudolph, advertising agent and G.O.P. leader: “Would you mind repeating that question. And if I heard you right the first time, please pass the aspirin.” Crummett, Alonzo, engineer and New Dealer by habit and instinct: ‘Listen, bub, if the kid sounds right over radio hookups, develops that old toss of the head and shows a scorn for other people’s dough, he is good for five terms."

Wilkinson Corner A NDY had sensitive eyes and delicate hands but Leonie, born and bred a westerner of pioneer stock, was human. She loved him. It wasn’t until after they were mar ried that she discovered he was a physical coward. She found out the night of Serena Boone’s engagement party. Tony Swift was there. As usual he was drunk. He was a handsome deviL this Tony, tall and bronzed and reckless. He had been Leonie’s childhood sweet- heart. Fo’’-s said she would have married him if it weren’t for his drinking. The first thing Tony saw when he came through the door was Le onie and Andy dancing together. A scowl crossed his face. Then he laughed. When they whirled past him he stepped up and whacked Andy on the back. “Tony’s cut," he grinned. “Make way for a man.” Leonie flushed. Andy hesitated, looked at Tony, then gave way smil ing. “Sure thing," he said. "Your dance, Tony." As soon as she could, without ap pearing too obvious, she asked Andy to take her home. There she accused: “Why did you let him insult you? Oh, the shame of it!" Andy was startled and bewil dered. “Let who insult me, honey.” “Who?” She stared at him. “Tony Swift, of course! I was never so humiliated iff my life.” “Tony? Oh, yon mean be cause of wbat he said? Shucks, honey, Tony didn’t mean any thing. He was drunk.” The appalling truth flashed across Leonie’s brain in that mo ment. Andy was a coward! He’d been afraid of Tony, which was why he evaded the issue! With a little whimpering cry she turned and ran sobbing from the room. A week later, on Saturday night, Andy stopped by at Seth Lancey’s store to see Seth on a matter of business. A couple of boys from his mine were there, drinking at the bar. Minutes later, talking with Seth, he heard a rumpus out front. Investigating he discovered that two boys were engaged in a brawl with three men from the Bar V cattle ranch. Andy stood by and watched a while. Others joined in. It began to look as though the place would be wrecked. Andy got out of there. Leonie heard about it the next day. That settled things for her. A NDY was bewildered and un happy. The next day he found himself brooding over the situation. By mid-afternoon he could stand it no longer. Leaving Noah Tait in charge of operations, he drove home. As he strode up the walk he heard a cry. He burst open the door and found Tony Swift trying to kiss his wife. Tony wasn't drunk. He was babbling something about Leonie really loving him. Tony whirled at the sound Andy made. His lip curled. “Oho! The sissy from Bos ” Andy strode across the floor. His face was black. “I guess," he said bitterly; “you’re dumb, after all. You need teaching.” He struck out. Tony tried to dodge, but Andy’s fist clipped him on the chin so hard that he went down. “Damn you!" He lunged, but Andy wasn't where he expected. Andy’s fist flashed out again, jnd again Tony went down. Andy jerked him to his feet and hit him again. He hit him a third time and a fourth. Blood covered Tony’s face. Tony whimpered for mercy. Andy dragged him to the door and threw him out "Andy!" Leonie fled into his arms. "Oh, my darling, you were wonderful! Oh, precious, forgive me for what I said. Andy, why didn’t you do that before—that night at the dance?” Andy frowned. "Why, shucks, honey, I don’t like to fight. Don’t you see? He was drunk then. There was no need.” Leonie laid her head on his shoul der. “I see, darling. Of course I see." But she didn’t SSMD Plllt LAST WEEK'S ANSWER ■ ACROSS 1. Title of ruler (Persia) S.

MIRROR Of Your MIND "Money Quarrels' Are Symptomatic By Lawrence Gould Soap Holes Found Value in Disguise Produce Magic Mud With Multiple Uses Ever since Belle Fourche, S. D„ was a rip-snorting cattle town at the end of the old Chisholm trail its residents have been damning the “soap holes” that plagued the area. Fast-riding cowboys often took a nasty tumble in this super-slip pery mud and cattle were forever getting bogged down in them. But now, like a man discovering his hives are really a blessing. Belle Fourche has found its soap holes are one of its biggest assets. Every one of them is filled with a magic mud called bentonite. It’s an odorless, tasteless, soapy mud with a thousand uses and scientists are thinking up new ones every day. Most of us already are using it a half dozen times a day, but al most nobody has heard of it. Men use it in shoe polish and hand cleaners. Women use it in face Can “money troubles wreck a marriage? Answer: Only when combined with other, though perhaps un conscious factors. People to whom lack of money has brought actual hardship may take out their bit terness on one another, since it’s natural (if childish) to want to blame someone for your troubles. But most quarrels over money are no more than an excuse for vent ing irritation over deeper and more intimate dissatisfactions which the people are unwilling to discuss—or perhaps even admit. An otherwise happy, well-adjusted couple will not “split up” over money. 1 Bentonite is the most absorb ent material found in nature. When moistened it swells to several times its normal size. This quality makes it useful in waterproofing housing founda- * tions and many other Industrial uses. powder, lotions, beauty creams. Bentonite also is found in many types of paint, plaster and cleaning agents. It’s handy for filling holes in giant dams and for casting moulds for molten metal. Forced down thousands of feet into the earth this magic mud lubricates the drills in oil wells and sends the debris up to the drillers. Its new uses and increasing popu larity for its older uses all add up to a boom such as Belle Fourche hasn’t seen since the gold rush. In the past 10 years the popula tion has practically doubled and bentonite now pours $600,000 a year into the town in the form of additional purchasing power. Fifteen years ago Belle Fourche shipped out three carloads of bentonite. Last year its production was 6,187 carloads and this year they expect carloadings to go con siderably higher. Scientists say that bentonite, a strange mixture made up mostly of dust from prehistoric volcanos, is found almost nowhere in the world except in the Black Hills of Wyo ming and South Dakota. It is the most absorbent material nature ever has devised, they say, and a half dozen teaspoonsful will soak up a glass of water. Should a three-year-old visit his playmates? Answer: Certainly, if he is wel come, and if they have mothers who can watch the children at play—for children of that age can’t always be trusted not to hurt each other when they quarrel, as they probably will. By the time he is three years old a child should begin to learn the most important lesson of his childhood—the tech nique of getting on with people of his own agfe on an equal basis. He will never learn this lesson by staying at home and playing by himself, or by being in his moth er’s company all day long. Is ignorance ever a "safeguard”? Answer: In itself, no. The most that can be said for it is that it is better than misinformation or than certain kinds of partial knowledge. If “a little learning is a dangerous thing,” it is because it’s apt to be exaggerated or distorted. A smat tering of psychology may be worse than ignorance if it makes you think that because neurosis may be caused by repressed feelings, you should give free rein to every impulse, regardless o f conse quences. But sound, well-assimi lated knowledge is the best and surest safeguard in the long run.

As a matter of fact this bring ing up by the book has saved the lives of thousands of children for, whereas, before mothers were taught proper infant feeding, about three in every 10 children died at birth or during the first year. Today only about one in 20 dies during this period. The first great gain in extending the life span began with the sav ing of the lives of children by proper feeding during their first and second years. In the Canadian Medical Associa tion Journal, Dr. C. K. Rowan- Legg, Ottawa, states what we all seem to forget is that the child has an emotional life as well as just the physical, and needs more than food to keep him healthy and happy. “The feeding of infants with a definite amount of food at fixed intervals neglects the emo tional side of the child’s life.

Barton posure to strict discipline and de nial.” The infant is bom with three needs—satisfaction of hunger, com fort, affection. Food should be given when It needs it and not thrust upon it when it doesn’t need it. "When the hunger rhythm or time arrives and the infant is given food, the amount of crying by the child is greatly reduced, which makes life easier for the mother.” Your family doctor knows, as do most mothers, that infants must do a certain amount of crying to stretch and strengthen the lungs, so that If well fed and comfortable, a little crying will do no barm. Dr. Rowan-Legg points out that some infants because of their makeup or personality, need to be fed at other than the regular four hours, and if they are hungry at three hour intervals and not at four hours, the mother should tell this to her doctor or children’s specialist, who will make the nec essary adjustments as to amount of food and intervals between feed ings. While infant feeding is the most Important part in building a healthy infant, comfort and affec tion closely follow. yjOU CAN build this handsome * lawn chair by following the pattern method of construction.
