9 THE NEWBERRY SIjN FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1949 "rr^-.-gr, 1218 College Street NEWBERRY, S, C. 0. F. Armfikld Editor and Publisher PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY Entered as second-class matter December 6, 1937, at the Postoffice at Newberry, South Carolina, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: In S. C., $1.50 per year in advance outside S. C., $2.00 per year in advance. HERE'S AH EXAMPLE OF REPUBLICAN THRIFT' Anderson Independent. A stock argument of the Re publican Party and its fellow travelers in the South is that the GOP would operate the government more efficiently — and far more thriftily. The Republicans have had a chance to show their thrifti ness. They had nominal con trol of the 80th Congress. The GOP leadership was looking forward then to a “sure thing” presidential election. It looked like to them the Demo crats would be kicked out, and would be out for a long, long time. Certainly, it was reasoned, the Democrats would not hold the reins during the 1950 cen sus. So when the census appropri ation bill came up, the Repub licans proceeded to double the outlay. They set the cost at $87,000,000—twice that spent in 1940 by the Democrats. The idea was to provide thou sands of jobs for loyal GOP stalwarts throughout the coun try. It would be a big politi cal melon for the faithful to slice. They were right. The joke is that the Democrats, back in the saddle, will do the slicing. GETTING TO BOTTOM OF COFFEE SITUATION _ nate Agriculture sub committee is busily delving in to the coffee situation. Is there a real shortage? Are the higher prices justified? If there is a shortage, how did it come about? If not, why the coffee “panic”? Senators Gillette of Iowa, Johnston of South Carolina and others want to get to the bot tom of the sudden coffee “short age.” We hope they get the facts. There is a bit of artificiality about the whole thing. It came a bit too suddenly, with out warning. One answer the people would like to know is who, if any body, is getting rich out of the deal. mma® Avnui Bj ltd Exiting Have your ideas about out board motors kept abreast oi the latest development? To bring you up to date, let’s see where the experts stand on certain controversial points which have up to now been in debate. Boating authority Willard Crandall reports that these challenge the validity of many time-honored beliefs, so be ready to change your mind. What kind of oil insures top outboard .motor .performance? The trend is now toward using outboard motor oil exclusively. Use straight, unadulterated oil- It is easier to obtain than it formerly was, but if you can’t get it, the cheapest automobile oil is the best substitute. What weight oil is best? A leading manufacturer recently reversed opinion on No. 30 oil, stating that the lighter grade lubricates as well as No. 40. Since No. 30 is easier to find than No. 40, this is good news to boatmen. What kind of gasoline has the approval of the experts? Not long ago it was generally held that the kind of gasoline used in an outboard motor was un important. Now, the use of gas containing tetraethyl lead is discouraged on the ground that it leaves a deposit on the spark plugs. Likewise, the dyes used in regular gas are said to leave a residue. Whatever gas you use, see that it comes from the pump and is labeled as motor You'll Be Thankful You’ll be thankful for warm, dry- feet in bad weather ahead!

Since air pressure is lower in the moun tains, it is necessary to set the carburetor for a lean mixture. Thus more oil should be used to compensate for the reduction of fuel flowing into the motor. Manufacturers now recommend the following dosage: An in crease of 20% at 4-5,000 feet; 25% at 5-6,000 feet and 30% above 6,000 feet. What size motor should be used with the ordinary non planing boat? This point is most frequently Debated by anglers who use coastal waters and rivers where tides and tricky currents are encountered. Most of them favor ample pow er, a motor as large els tne boat will permit. But there is sm other large group which favors a smaller motor. They hold that the amount of power need ed to negotiate waves is often greatly Exaggerated; they -point out that nonplaning boats be come less seaworthy as power is added and this unseaworthi ness will outweigh any advan tages gained by a more power ful motor. So everything con sidered, the small motor seems to be the best bet for the non planing craft. MISS ANDERSON AND FRED WEIR TO WED t Mr. and Mrs. Robert Harold Anderson of Newberry an nounce the engagement of their daughter, Mary Lou, to Fred Weir, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Weir of Newberry.
