w THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. JU! v. r r Charter Member j It was decided by the members of a humane society to rent a store window and put in an ex hibit of wild furred animals to aid them in their campaign against the ruthless killing of the creatures. It was a grand exhibit and was spoiled only by a man who insisted upon getting in amongst the stuffed animals. *‘I belong in there,” he insisted. At first they thought he was in toxicated but when he pointed out Ids argument they admitted he had some cause for his actions. His reason for wanting to join the exhibit was a large sign the society had had printed and placed in the window. It read, “We were skinned to provide furs for' fashionable women.” Not Always Sonny had read many fairy tales but apparently had never realized until now that most of them began: “Once upon a time.” **Do all of them begin that fway?” he asked his mother. “Why, no,” she replied, “some times you hear a telephone ring and when you answer it you hear a voice say, ‘Sorry, dear, but the boss called a surprise meeting at the last minute.’ ” Only Duff & is Prize Rolls like these!

At the time, this memory lapse didn’t seem worth brooding about, but last night I happened to meet up with a well-known psychiatrist at the Stork Club, and over a jigger of ginger-beer I told him what had happened. “It was probably a mild attack of amnesia,” he said. “As a rule, the victims are folks who, consciously or unconsciously, want to escape from their routine chores, and every now and then their minds blank out as a protest against doing the same old things the same old way.” “What kind of pills should I take?” “Fun pills,” said the mind-med ico. “Buy yourself a sailboat, take up skeet-shooting, or get a set of water colors and learn how to paint.” “And supposing I don’t.?” “Chances are nothing will hap pen except that you’ll forget a few more phone numbers. On the Other hand, there’s always the possibility that the spells may get longer and more frequent. That’s what happened not long ago to a good friend of yours.” Billy Bose JERRY—and I’m sure you know the Jerry I mean—used to be one of Broadway’s leading juveniles and stay-up lates. Five years ago, as you know, he put away his hair- oil and got a job producing radio shows. And not long after, he mar ried the daughter of a network executive, bought a home in Scars- dale and decided to settle down. "Well, as often happens when a girl has too much dowry, his wife did most of the settling for him. She made him exchange his friends for hers, his fun for hers and his life for hers. And within a year, the man who used to be a gay dog became all dog— a W estchester version of Caspar Milquetoast. “After two years of being yam mered at by his missus, Jer^y came in to see me one day and said that he was having trouble with his memory—that it was blacking out on him now and then. I asked him some questions about his home life, and when he told me what it was like I advised him to stand up to his wife, and if neces sary, slap her down occasionally. He told me, quite seriously, she wouldn’t stand for such a thing. “One morning several months later, he came to my office, and told me quite a tale. It seems that on his way home the night before he had had an attack of amnesia, and when he came to 15 hours later he was in a New York hotel room, with no idea of what had happened in between. "I phoned his wife, and from her story, managed to put the pieces together. Jerry’s memory had snapped as he got to the door of his house in Scarsdale—perhaps in protest against the stuffy people his wife had invited to dinner— and all he knew was that he was standing on a strange stoop. * * * “AFRAID TO RING the bell, he sneaked into the back yard, found To One In Sorrow i/^ ET me come in where you are weeping, friend.

GRACE NOLL CROWELL an open window, hoisted himself through, then recognizing nothing, stopped to puzzle out the situation. Who was he? What sort of man would climb through the window of a strange house? Only a burg lar, of course. Ergo, he must be a burglar. And so he tiptoed up stairs, entered his wife’s bedroom and began stuffing her jewelry into his pockets. The Fiction NARROW ESOAPE Richard H. Wilkinson Corner » i ' m ##TUD’S ONLY going to be here a couple of weeks,” Connie said. “And after all, he’s my brother Tom’s guest and it’s up to me fb help entertain him. You understand, don’t you, Marc?” “Sure,” said Marc, not looking at her, “sure, I understand. You go ahead and be nice to him, Con nie. I understand all right.” Which was true, bitterly true. Marc had begun to understand two days after Jud Morrison had 3 -Minute landed at the Fiction Norberts ’ iOT a nviiyii fortnight . s vislt . Jud was big and handsome and had a way with him. In college he had been quite a rage. Tom Norbert, his roommate, lUd raved about him before he ar rived, but even Connie hadn’t ex pected such a splendid specimen <?f manhood as Jud proved to be. ' A roadster stopped before the house and Jud came bounding up the walk. “Hi, Connie,” he grinned. “AD set for our round of golf?” Ihen he saw Marc standing on the porch beside Connie. “Hello there, Marc. How about joining us?” Marc smiled and shook his head. “Thanks,” he said. “I’ve got a ten- nis date. See you two tonight.” If, he reflected, he could only get Jud out of his element perhaps the college hero wouldn’t show up so well. Several nights later at the coun try club dance Marc got Connie alone and suggested a fishing trip for the next day. “We can take Jud along,” he explained. “It’ll be something new in his exper ience and probably he’ll get a bang out of it.” Connie, who liked fishing herself, thought it was a grand idea. •And so the three of them drove up to Beaver Lake the next day. “And, besides. I’m satisfied with the man I have—a man who’s big enough to be kind to a man like Jud Morrison.” In the afternoon they put on their waders and fished. Connie elected to show Jud how to rig his line and cast, and watch ing them Marc knew a feeling of frustration. He had planned /to somehow get Jud to follow him into the rapids where the going was treacherous and where only one experienced in such things could navigate without losing- his foot hold. He had a vague idea of res cuing Jud from the swirling tor rents, thereby establishing Jud’s weakness in Connie’s mind and his own prowess. S UDDENLY HE KNEW that he was helpless.. There was noth ing he could do about the thing that was happening between Jud and Connie. The feeling that he had toward Jud was not one of condemnation, but envy. If Jud were trying to steal Connie away, he was doing so unwittingly. Any one but a fool could tell he wasn’t aware of any understanding exist ing between the girl and Marc. And so Marc abandoned his scheme for revenge. They returned home the next day, and the day after that Marc made a business trip to Belknap. When he got back, Judson Morrison was gone. Marc didn't call Connie. To morrow or the day after he was leaving on a month’s journey up state. He didn’t want to see Connie before he left. It would hurt too much. world have you been?” “Away on business. Unexpected.” “Well, I should think so.” She came close to him and sat down. “Jud left this morning. He asked me to say goodbye to you.” “Jud’s a good egg,” Marc said. ‘Too gdod,” said Connie. “Good ness, I’d hate to be married to a man like that.” “You would?” said Marc, aston ished, “why?” “Why? why, because—I would. Jle’s too self-sufficient.” She laughed. “And besides, I’m satis fied with the man I have—a man who’s big enough to be kind to a man like Jud Morrison.” Abruptly he laughed, and when, puzzled, she asked him what was funny, he shook his head. ‘There’s nothing really funny,” he said. “I was just thinking about a close can I once had—how near I came to making a fool of myself —and what a relief it is to know I escaped.” r "At this point, bis missus walked in, told him to stop play ing cops and robbers, and began badgering him at the top of her over-sized lungs. But Jerry, the burglar, instead of melting into the carpet, belted her one right in the teeth. “That’s all there was to it. Some how, he got back to New York, But he did see her. Conple came over that night and found him sitting alone on the porch. “Hello,” she said, “where in the when she brought in the drinks. To checked in at a hotel, and when he woke up his amnesia was gone.” “Did you tell his wife that her husband wasn’t himself when he clipped her on the chin?” I asked. The psychiatrist smiled. “Of course not,, and what’s more, I ad* vised my patient to keep munq, Jerry went home to a big recon ciliation scene—the old ‘worm- turns’ story—and ever since, th* more spine he has shown the moro supine his wife has become. “I went to his house for a poker session recently, and the only time she came in the room wac date, there have been no recur rences of amnesia, and it’s my belief that if Jerry doesn’t take any more nonsense from his wife, there won’t be.” "Are you suggesting I go home and bang a shiner on Eleanor's aye?" I asked. “In your case,” said the psychia trist, “I doubt if . it’s necessary. However, if you have any more trouble remembering telephone numbers, I'd suggest you invest a few dollars in a water-color set.” CROSSWORD PUZZLE LAST WEEK'S ANSWER ACROSS 1. Upright 5.

Farm Shop Layout Adds More Space More Equipment Added As Skill Is Increased The shop layout, sketched by Harold E. Gulvin, New York teach er of vocational agriculture, in cludes spaces for more equipment than most farmors plan to put in their shops; but he has observed, he says, that farmers rapidly ob tain more equipment as they be- sir come skilled in handling their own repair and construction work. In describing the farm shop in the book, “Welding Helps for Farmers,” published by the James F. Lincoln Arc Welding foundation, Cleveland, Ohio, states that this plan is the result of many years of experience in working in and ex amining many farm shops, and makes the following suggestions: For storage space, many draw ers should be instaUed under the benches.

The heating stove is placed in the cor ner near the smokestack provided for the forge. The entire right side of this shop plan is for tractors and trucks. There is a handy chain hoist for raising heavy machinery opposite the large overhead outside door. The air compressor and the welder are close to the outside’ door so that tires can be inflated and ma chines can be welded without hav ing to drive into the shop. The arc welder should have sufficient weldipg cable to reach well over the repair area. The combination of an arc weld er, an acetylene torch, a black smith’s forge, a heavy-duty grind er, a drill press, and a metal lathe are all included in this shop and are grouped together. ^ The grinder and drill press are In stalled on a supporting post, allow ing the grinding and drilling of long pieces.

Fertilizer Shortage Seen As Imminent This Spring Safety Shield May End Power Line Accidents It is beginning to appear that the end of power line accidents may be approaching faster than anyone believed, for manufacturers of farm equipment are now produc ing power line safety shields that cannot be removed when the shaft is in operation. These shields may be opened for servicing and inspection of the power shaft, but they cannot be removed unless the operator goes to work on them with a blowtorch or a chisel—and nobody expects that to happen. For many years the manufac turers of farm machinery have been providing shields for power lines, but many farmers have failed to keep the standard shield in place despite the fact that rapid ly-revolving power take-off shafts are a never-present hazard. ••• • • Smart Afternoon Style For the Larger Figure eve lop fZABBJT s/9A./zrA.sva um Stuffiness ■ ■Jm For almost instant relief, put A few Vicks Va-tro-pol Noaa broom iin each nostril i ' Va-tro-nol works right tohsre stuffy trouble is/ ] It opens up cold- dogged nose ..• relieves stuffi- and lets you again.

SHE AD W ASHINGTON is still talking •bout the tense, dramatic battle in the house of representa tives in which a southern Demo cratic - Republican coalition at tempted to overturn the house rules committee, grab control of the en tire Truman administration pro gram and again set up a totali tarian dictatorship in which seven men at their own caprice could hold or withhold legislation from action by the other 428 members' of that body. * * The coup Tailed by « vote of 236 to 183, but only after President Truman himself had entered the fray throwing the weight of his entire administration into the battle to hold the lines against the coali tion. '■ The southern delegations were pressured as never before by the Dbdecrats. They used ell the prejudice, fomented all the intolerance engendered by the civil rights program. They played upon the desire of the Republican leadership to stop cold the Truman Fair Deal pro gram. The administration sent out wires, phone calls, feed every pressure to bring back house members who were ab sent. The tip-off came when a Repub lican motion to adjourn was de feated. It would have delayed a vote until over the week-end. Then with a packed gallery and a house quiet with tenseness the vote came. The Republican leadership could not hold many GOP congressmen in line, particularly in the New England states. Truman won. Here’s the background of this fight which may have far reaching ef fects on this congress. It could cause a long session or failure of this session to accomplish anything for the nation. • * • Powerful Group For many years the rules com mittee of the house was the most powerful in that body. It still is. It acts as sort of e traffic cop for legislation. It has 12 members— eight Democrats and four Republi cans. In the 80th congress it had eight Republicans and four Demo crats. Under house procedure all bills considered by other commit tees go to the rules committee for handing down for action. Under the old procedere the committee could (hold these bills Indefinitely. Only e peti tion signed by e majority of fey e bill. At the last session of the 81st congress when this same group men tried to take over control the committee from its chairman. Congressman Adoltih J. Sabbath of Illinois the house voted over whelmingly to dip the power of the committee and piece a maximum of 21 days on the time the commit tee could hold e bill. After that time, the chairman of any other committee could call down a bill from the rules committee for house action. ■ s B ■ • • Ghost ThsirxTImo The rebel leadership on the com mittee, headed by Congressman Eugene Cox of Georgia, picked a" time three days before the con troversial Fair Employment Prac tices bin was due for ^handing down. - - He corralled two other south erners, Congressmen Howard J. Smith of Virginia and William M, Colmey of Mississippi, and had little difficulty in persuading the four Republican members to joib them in a coalition taking opera tion of the committee out of the hands of its chairman. deadline on t to Seeking to beat t« the FEPC bill, they went to the house floor with a majority motion of their committee asking the old dictatorial power of the committee be invoked once again. It meant the death of all civil rights legis-ll l&tion and even of all the Fair Deal legislation to which the seven men were opposed. Republicans Joining In the coalition bloc were the GOP ranking member, Lee E. Alice ' of niinois, chairman of the com mittee in the 80th congress; Clafence J. Brown of Ohio; James W. Wadsworth of New York and Christian Herter of Massachusetts. They prevailed upon the bouse GOP Leader Joe Martin, former speaker, and Charles HaBeck, former GOP floor leader, to go along. » Civil Rights Lost There is every reason to believe that the civil rights program of President Truman will be lost in this congress. There Is no effective weapon yet devised against the senate filibuster. But the rest of the Fair Deal program was also at stake and the President had everything to gain and nothing to lose, since the southerners ere op posed to most of his program any4 way. j • 'i H llii Wk .a,;-:' ■ l - C v*ISI#£$^' s,.i,;■ & r ; t*
