BYRNES GETS APPLE PIE A LA MODE Clemson, Dec. 7—Former Sec retary of State James F. Byrnes dined in the Clemson dining hall here today and was served a special desert, home made pie on which was piled high ice cream from Clemson’s own creamery. Tom Littlejohn, negro cook for 37 years at the college and for whom a colored housing project has just been launched on the campus has been named, prepared the dessert as a “spec ial” for the distinguished trus tee, who was chapel speaker. On the menu of several veg etables, milk, meats, and so on, were two popular items—South Carolina corn bread and mo lasses, a standby at Clemson dining tables for years. The former speaker partook of these generously and pro nounced them “old-fashioned and good—just like the best things in life.” Mr. and Mrs. Richard Wicker have moved to an apartment at 1527 Caldwell street from the county.

New York.—Senator Pat Mc- Carran said here that he found living conditions of displaced persons in camps in Europe far better than living conditions of the average inhabitant of many areas in the United States. He returned from Europe with Senator Maybank of South Car olina and Elmer Thomas, of Oklahoma. “Everywhere I went in some dozen or more camps and re settlement centers,” he said, I studied living conditions and found them to be more than ad> equate for the care and main tenance of displaced persons. McCarran said his study con vinced him too little attention had been paid to the security of the United States in the admin istration of the Displaced Petr sons Act.

VOL. 12—NO. 31 + NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1949 ♦ ?1.50 PER YEAR A Christmas Cards Require 2c Stamp Don’t try to mail your Christ- mas cards this year with lV4c stamps. The postage rate on unsealed greeting cards, which travel by third class mail, was raised to 2c last January. SO don’t try to mail this year’s Yule greetings with 1%'c stamps left over from last Christmas. All sorts of embar rassing things may happen— Your mail carrier may return the cards to you stamped, “In sufficient Postage.’’ Or they may be held until the addressee supplies the ad ditional postage required by the new law before the mysterious envelope—which turns out to be your “Merry Christmas” wish—may be delivered to him. Or your cards may be shunt ed into the Dead Letter Of fice, if they’re deposited at the peak of the Christmas mailing rush and they bear no return address. To preserve your cheery Christmas cards from these in dignities, the Postmaster rec ommends sending them all by first class mail. That means with a 3c stamp. First class mail rates “direc tory /service,” by which skilled post office clerks try to trace down addresses who have mov ed. Your card may be forward ed from one address to another. If the addressee isn’t located, the card will come back to you if the envelope bears your re turn address. Christmas cards carrying 2c stamps are third class mail. They must not be sealed and must not contain personal mes sages. Only one Effort is made to deliver them. If the address proves incomplete or incorrect, your warm-hearted Christmas greetings land in the Dead Let ter office. “One of the saddest sights on Christmas Eve,” says the local Postmaster, “are _ the many un deliverable Christmas cards. Each represents a bit of lost Yuletide sentiment. Practically aKf rrre~ the result" of -careless ness. Especially illegible hand writing, inadequate addresses, and stamps that fall off en route because they weren’t af fixed properly. CAPT.

HAS PRACTICED 60 YEARS Washington, Dec. 6—An 85- year old small town doctor who admitted that he began his practice with “deadbeats and scalawags” was named the na tion’s outstanding practitioner for 1949. The honor was bestowed on Dr. Andy Hall of Mt. Vernon I1L, by the house of delegates of the American Medical Asso ciation meeting here this week in clinical sessions. Despite his years. Dr. Hall -still, -carries on an -active prac tice, except for major surgical operations. At a press confer ence today, he showed that he still retains the sharpness and zip of the day 60 years ago when he hitch-hiked rides on freight train cabooses to visit patients when roads were im passable because of mud. Surrounded by reporters and blinking his eyes at photog rapher’s flash bulbs, he said he believed that heredity has an important part in longevity. “Mv father lacked a month of living 99 years,” he said. My mother died of pneumonia at the age of 88.’’* “Liquor? I never drink,” he said. “Well, I do drink a beer otice in a while and when I had measles they fed me some whifekey.” “No, I won’t smoke,” he said. “Neither do I chew tobacco.’’ He said that in addition to heredity he believes a temper ate life should be followed at all times if a person wants to live long. “People generally are living longer these days,” he said, and there are many reasons. In the first place they are becom ing immunized against most of the diseases. We are also trav eling in heated automobiles, and not exnosed to the ele ments by riding horseback.” Dr. Hall was asked what he thought of “nationalized medi cine.” “Socialized medicine would be bad for the people, the pa tient and the taxpayer,” he said. “There are only two nlaces where socialism might work. One is in heaven where socialism is not needed. and the other is h-11 where they al ready have socialism.” COUPLE FROM McCALL DIE IN AUTO ACCIDENT HERE W. A.

Summer made an investigation. and stated that an inquest will be held at 8 o’clock Friday eve ning, December 9th Byrnes Asked To Head New Party Washington, Dec. 6.—Former Secretary of State James F. Byrnes of Spartanburg, S. C., was asked today by-' the Amer icans for Democratic Action to head a new political party con sisting of conservatives in the Republican and “Dixiecrat” ranks. In a letter to Byrnes made public by former Republican Congressman Charles M. La- Pollette of Indiana, who now is national director of ADA, LaFollette accused Byrnes of 1 being “a Democrat who has left his party to work for con servatives.” LaFollette said that the proposal made by Re publican Ohio Sen. John W. Bricker that Byrnes lead a “conservative alignment in Am erica . . . has merit.” LaFollette’s letter follows: “As a Republican who quit his party to work for liberalism I address this letter to you as a Democrat who has left his party to work for conservatism. I think we as political indepen dents are particularly qualified to discuss with each other the future of our country’s politi cal system. “Your recent speech at Biloxi stimulated conservatives the country over. Demands have risen in the conservative press that you take over the leader ship of the bipartisan opposi tion to the Fair Deal x x x . “I am sure • you will agree that there is a very real kin ship between many Northern Republicans and many South ern Democrats. A great num ber of Republican Party lead ers are in reality ‘Northern men of Southern principles.’ Scratch a Dixiecrat and you will find a Northern or East ern special interest. Dixiecrats fume at proposals for guaran teeing civil rights. Many Northern chambers of com merce have an equal distaste for FEPC. I suggest that all of them ought to live in the same house together. •-•: “The proposal that you head up the conservative alignment in America is a serious one, and I think it has merit. The coalition that functions so well in Congress should be formal ized, be given shape and form. As a man of great public sta ture who has left no doubt where he really stands, you are a logical .choice for the job. We urge you to accept the nomi nation. “Americans for Democratic Action supports candidates of any non-totalitarian political group if they agree with ADA’s liberal principles. If, however, the candidates of your group agree with you and Mr. Hoov er and Mrs. Dulles that balanc-- ing the financial budget is more important than balancing the budget of human needs, I am afraid they will have to get along without liberal and inde pendent support." DR. LIVINGSTONE TAKING COURSE AT TULANE Dr. R. E. Livingston left Sunday for New Orleans, La., where he is taking a special course this week, studying heart disease at Tulane University. He was joined in New Orleans Monday of this week by his wife, to spend the week with him. They are expected to re turn to Newberry the first of nfcxt week. MRS. B. G.
