THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. RAILROAD COMPANIES NOW 'SEND' US ... Patrons Protest Trains That Depart on Time ...AS BING TRANSPORTS' PASSENGERS By H. I. PHILLIPS S OME OF THE BIG railroad sta tions in our larger cities are going in heavily for entertainment It takes your mind off the fact you can’t find many posters. It is announced that disk jockeys will now play records t give news items and tell you how the ball games are going, interspersing them among the regular train calls. Never a dull moment “Twentieth Century Express now ready! ... Ton will hear her laughing across a crowded room . . . Brooklyn 4, Giants 3 ... On track Number III . . .

All aboard!” • • • We looked into the matter yester day. It was somewhat confusing. Our idea was just to get a ticket to Cos Cob. We walked up to the information booth. It was pretty crowded. A young lady wanted to know what time she could catch the “Bali Ha’i.” Another wanted to know how much time there was between the express to Utica and “Strummin, On the Old Banjo.” “What time does the local to Cos Cob leave?” we asked. “Let’s Take an Old-Fashioned Walk.” was all we got in response. “Cos Cob.” we repeated. “tiiMaggio just hit a homer with the bases full. Baby, ‘It’s Cold Out side is up next,’ ” came to us in loud tones. "Listen, mister," we shouted at the information man. “We haven’t got that,” he re plied. “Haven’t got what?” “ The Wedding of LUi Mar lene.’ ” he answered. ‘The four winds and the seven seas on track 11 at 3:38 . . . Get your latest news from the tennis matches at window eight.” • • • Here everything was drowned out by an argument be tween a station attendant and a woman toting two suitcases and a harp. She said a porter had refused to carry her bags as he had never heard her on the Hit Parade. * • • Both were shoved aside by a cop with a loud cry of “Aw, shut up! I wanna hear ‘Room Full of Roses!’ " We finally got the information clerk’s attention and repeated “Cos Cob. What time?” "Is that by Perry Como or Tony Martin?” he asked. “It’s by Mamaroneck,” w e snapped. “That’s funny. Mamaroneck isn’t scheduled today. Would you like to hear how the Yanks made out?” We gave up and tottered around until we found the Cos Cob track. But the trainmen wouldn’t open the door. They r/ere all listening to “Some Enchanted Evening,” no dining car, first stop Stamford, has grill car only. • • • FATHER AND SON “Popper, what is that money conference in Washington all about?” “Oh, it’s some sort of huddle about British money and ours. Shouldn’t you be out playing ball?” “Is there a dollar shortage in Europe, popper?” ’There is a dollar shortage everywhere, and even you kids had better begin realizing it.” • • » “How can the British have a dollar shortage? They use pounds, not dollars.” “They have to have a re serve of dollars for converti bility in world trade.” “But how did they get short of dollars in the reserve, pop per?” “Our dollar is worth so much more that is was in greater de mand, I guess, or something. Here’s your bat.” “But who demands Ameri can dollars?” “Who doesn’t!” • • • “Is there an American dollar shortage?” “If you had to fill a gas tank, pay the house bills, go to a musi cal, o^der a steak dinner or two or hire a plumber these days you would not ask such a foolish ques tion, my son.” "Why is nothing said about an American shortage of dollars?” “Because Americans think if they have five dollars that will buy only what one buck would once buy they are away out ahead of the game. I hear the Jones boy whistling for you.” “Why must England and Canada and America have different mon ey? Why can’t we all get together on one type of money?" “It would throw too many book keepers, accountants, jugglers and mathematical wizzards, out of steady employment, my son." By INEZ GERHARD W HEN SAMMY KAYE entered college he was headed for a civil engineering degree. But long before he was graduated he had formed a college band; after be left he kept the crew together, radio called, and his famous “swing and sway” style soon became a national favorite. No other band leader has brought so many differ ent types of air shows to the net- SAMMY KAYE works. His “Sunday Serenade,” music interspersed with readings of poetry, was in direct contrast to “So You Want to Lead a Band.” “Sammy Kaye’s Showroom,” on ABC, presents his crisp versions of popular songs. Now he admits that its success has made him start planning a new one, for later this year. Someone with a statistical mind sat down and figured out that more women named Mary have been picked as “Queen for a Day” than those with any other name. Rating second on Jack Bailey’s hilarious program is Betty, followed by Alice, Helen, Ruth and Ann. Some that stretch the imagination have been recorded on the program- such as Malgorgata, Gummel, An- jani and Minal.

XPERT * By m ui\ i Richard H Wi | kinson the c Fiction * b Corner N O ONE had much faith in the new sheriff. The night preced ing the day of his arrival the ranchers of the Roaring River Valley held a meeting in the Para dise Saloon. Mark Raoul, largest cattle owner in the vicinity, was the spokesman. “No u se in exp e c t i n’ re sults from this young deputy they’re sending up from the county seat. He’s a west erner with eastern ideas an’ a col lege education. Probably got a head full of new fangled notions on how to run down a bunch of Ari zona cattle rustlers. Thing for us to do is organize a vigilante group on our own, and wipe them there cattle thieves off the face of the map.” “How we gonna do that,” Rex Rupert wanted to know, “when we ain’t got a notion where the rust lers is takin’ our cattle?” “We got as good a notion,” Mark shot at him, "as any smart young deputy sheriff what aint dry behind the ears yet.” Vic Stuart, redheaded, freckled, blue-eyed and friendly, arrived the next morning and announced him self to be the new deputy assigned to the Roaring River Valley cattle rustling business. Rex Rupert, self- appointed committee of welcome, looked the youth over and decided the ranchers had been smart in postponing their vigilante organiza tion. But Rex betrayed none of the confidence he felt when he ex plained the circumstances. Vic listene-1 and smiled and his bine eyes crinkled at the corners. “Natural,” he said, “for Raoul to feel that way. Fact is I have got some new fangled ideas. It takes brains to beat a bunch of outlaws these days, whether they’re stealing cattle or operating a racket.” Rex’s thoughts were rather glum as he rode back to the ranch. About midday of the next day Vic Stuart rode in just as Rex finished his lunch. “How many armed men can you provide me?” the youth asked shortly. Rex stared. "You ain’t found the rustlers’ roost?” “That was easy. Thing to do now is scare up enough men to take care of the rustlers, who are at the present moment en gaged in branding your stolen cattle.” Vic Stuart led them to a section of country familiar to them all; the hopes that Rex had entertained be gan to ebb. Then suddenly they burst out anew as Vic entered a narrow canyon, the existence of which was a surprise to everyone. A moment later he pointed down into a hidden vaUey where stood a couple of rough shacks and an astonishingly large herd of cattle. R EX asked no question, but di rected his men into a fan shaped line, then ordered them to move down the slope. The rustlers were taken by surprise. They had no idea as to the size of the at tacking force, and after a desultory attempt to fight off the invaders, the main body broke and fled. The big surprise of the affair occurred when Vic Stuart rode up with the masked leader of the rustlers and, standing be fore Rex and his riders, tore off the leader’s mask, reveal ing the snarling features of Mark Raoul. "Matter of brains,” Vic grinned. "Funny thing it didn’t occur to any of you hombres who’ve lived in this country all your lives that even a bunch of rustlers couldn’t camp where there wasn’t water. Only water hereabouts is the Roaring River. That was the theory I went on. I got myself a forked hazel stick and used it to locate water and to indicate the direction of the source. Forked hazel sticks never fail to indicate the presence of water if held properly in the hands of an expert.” His blue eyes crinkled. “I reckon I’m an expert.” SMD PUZIIE LAST WEEK'S ANSWER ACROSS 1.

Can poisonous snakes poison themselves by biting? Do horned toads really squirt blood out of their eyes? And is there a bird that can fly backwards? These are questions frequently heard among outdoor men and here are the answers: Bravton Eddy, curator of reptiles at the New York zoological society, says that he personally saw a rattler kill itself by its own bite, even though the fangs did not pene trate a vital organ. However, no one seemed to know for sure if a poisonous snake could commit suicide by biting itself. Horned toads really can squirt blood from the eyelid near the edge of the eye, but not from the eye it self. This action is associated with great fright and is not common. As for the bird that can fly back wards—nearly anyone could an swer that if he’d stop and think about it. Of course there is a bird that can fly backwards. It is the hummingbird. AAA Fish Where They - Too many anglers never seem to realize this incontestable fact: Fish are caught in the water, not in the air. So the longer the lure is kept in the water, the more likely tile chance of taking fish. Despite this obvious fact, there are myriad anglers who spend the major portion of any trip to lake or stream flaying the air with fly line or plug, always trying to get This type of fisherman seldom catches fish, but he is the first, isually, to shout that the stream is ‘fished out” or to blame his state AAA Popular Rod The “Stubeaster,” shown above. Is one of the fastest- selling rods on the market. In 1948 It was accepted by more than a quarter of a million anglers. The “Stubeaster” with its coil spring design gives to this short, convenlent-to-pack rod all the resiliency and tip action of the longer, lighter casting rods. The rod is manu factured by Waltco Products, of Chicago. AAA Tips for Boaters Perhaps it isn’t too late to get in these few tips for boaters. Boaters are urged to show common courtesy to fishermen and others who may be using the same waters so that excursions afloat will be pleasurable for all. Skippers of outboards and motor- boats can avoid accidents and trouble by observing these simple rules which are set up under a federal regulation pertaining to outboard boating: When meeting other boats, al ways keep to the right. Yield the right-of-way to the man on the right Any boat that is being over taken has the right-of-way. Always yield the right-of-way to a boat under sail or oars. AAA Stunted Fish There are two schools of thought regarding the causes of fish be coming stunted. Nearly every fresh-water angler knows waters where trout, bullheads, perch, bass or some other species run smaller than the average. To one school of thought the an swer is “heredity,” and the intro duction of new blood is urged. The other school believes the answer is environment.” MIRROR Being in Love Of Your m m m ^ Intoxication MIND By Lawrence Gould Are you happiest when you’re in love? Answer: In a way, yes, but in much the same sense as you might be happier drunk than sober. For in either case your happiness is based on being able for the moment to ignore the harsh facts of life. When you’re in love and the feel ing is reciprocated, you believe for the time being that you can have perfect happiness without having to work for it or to adjust yourself to the moods or needs of anyone else, and, this rosy day-dream makes you feel that the world is your oyster. Realistic happiness is not as thrilling, but it’s safer and more lasting. Will a normal man prefer his parents to his wife? Answer: No, not if he is really a man—that is, if he has grown up emotionally. Any adult who spends more time with his parents than with people of his own age shows by that fact that he is emotionally undeveloped and afraid of making social contacts on an equal basis. To retain your parents as your favorite companions is like refus ing to swim without “water wings,” since their real attraction for you is the feeling that they will not "let you down,” whatever happens. A man whose first loyalty is not to his wife is simply hot a husband. Can early “conditioning” be undone? Answer: Never entirely. No mat ter what happens to you after you grow up, you will not be the sort of person that you might have been if you had had different parents and a different kind of home life. But all of us have inherent possibili ties which bad treatment and mis- education cannot wholly destroy and you can be helped to ov- '•coma the fears and inhibitions thet keep you frem making the most of these possibilities. Few, if any, people can’t be helped by psychiatric treat ment to learn to enjoy a normal love life and a happy marriage. LOOKING AT RELIGION By DON MOORE KEEPING HEALTHY Overcoming Sensitivity to Sun's Rays By Dr. James W. Barton A TEEN-AGE GIRL, fond of athletics including swimming, found that just a few minutes of sun caused irritation of the skin and the formation of hives (urti caria). Everf after the hives disap peared the intense itching remained for several days. It is now known that a method of preventing the hives and itching in these cases of sun or solar urticaria has been found. In the “Journal of Investigative Dermatology,” Baltimore, Dr. P. L. Beal says that in solar urticaria, a brief exposure of the skin is fol lowed in a few minutes by develop ment of intense itching and red ness at exactly the place on the skin exposed to the sun’s rays. A few minutes later small patches of wheals (lumps) join together to form one large hive in the exposed skin. As this large water-filled hive enlarges, a redness appears about it in the skin that was not exposed to the sun. According to the ex tensity of exposure, it lasts from half an hour to several hours. Dr. Beal presents a study made on two patients with solar urti caria. Both were women, aged 42 and 30. The sensitivity of their skin to the sun’s rays was established by use of glass filters and mono chromator which transmits radiant energy. It was between 2,967 and 3,347 angstrom units. This sensitivity could be passive ly transferred by injecting the patient’s serum (liquid part of blood) into the skin of normal per sons and irradiating the spot on the skin where serum w£s injected with the active wave lengths. Antibistaminic drugs (adrenalin, benadryl, peribenzadrine and oth ers) were found to be protective against the urticarial reaction (formation of hives). By virtue of this protective action it was possi ble to subject these patients to gradually increasing ultraviolet ex posure. Eventually the skin acquired enough tolerance to the active wave lengths and it was possible to dis continue the use of the antihista- minic substances. It is the hista mine manufactured in the body it self that causes allergy in certain individuals, perhaps 10 to 20 per cent of the population.
