Johnson, guest speaker next Sunday morning, May 7th at 11 o’clock at O’Neal Street Meth odist church of Newberry. Mr. Johnson is an author, play wright and nationally known lecturer. Mr. Johnson comes to Newberry from the headquar ters of the Methodist church in Washington, D. C. He received nation-wide recognition when he led the clean-up fight against road houses, gangsters and booze runners in bloody Wil liamson county, Herrin, 111. His present lecture tour for the Methodist church has brought him from the Pacific coast where he addressed large aud iences and was received with enthusiasm in leading pulpits throughout the west. Mr. Johnson, one of the out standing lecturers on the Am erican platform, has the reputa tion of dealing ' with present social problems particularly as they apply to modern youth and their relation to their el ders, in a most practical, con structive and engagingly in teresting way. Mr. Johnson as a former deputy investigator in Illinois had a rare opportunity to study the traits of “th e bad men” and “the bad kids” and the condi tions in society lying back of them, along with other valuable data on social problems of the day. His several years of ex perience of organization work in social welfare, and particu larly his unique contacts with vast numbers of high school and college youth has been re sponsible in part for the high regard in which he is held by ministers and school men thru- out the country.

Four Generations In Demonstration Club Shortly after World War I, Mrs. Paysinger and her daugh ter Mrs. Abrams joined Trinity Home Demonstration Club un der the leadership of Miss Daisy Berrie, Home Demonstration Agent. From that day until this they have been faithful members always ready and willing to cooperate in any un dertaking for the good of the club. About twenty years ago the family moved to Silver- street so membership was trans ferred to this club. Silverstreet was a much busier community than Trinity so we find this group participating in all activ ities. For about twenty years Mrs. Paysinger was in and out of the Silverstreet home for calls were always taking her away from home to nurse some sick person. Her cherry nature and bright outlook made her very popular for this particular call ing. Considering her 76 years Mrs. Paysinger is wonderfully active, she does the gardening and chicken raisin and seems to get a thrill out of it. After the death of Mr. Abrams the home became the! papular boarding house for the Silverstreet teachers. As Mrs. Abrams has an envied reputa tion as a cook, she is called on to help with all of the suppers and entertainments where food is to be served. She has held the office of President of the PTA, Secre tary and Treasurer of the Mis sionary Society, Secretary and Treasurer of the Home Demon stration Club. She still holds the office of Treasurer of thei Home Demonstration Club. At a recent chicken barbecue supper given by the Silver- street Home Demonstration Club, it was very interesting to note Miss Paysinger serving rice and by her side Mis. Abrams serving hash. The gen eral overseer was Mrs. R. C. Neel, the granddaughter of Mrs. Paysinger and daughter of Mrs. Abrams. Mrs. Neel, better known as Tura began 4-H work as a very little girl and continued throughout her school term. In 1928 she won a trip for hiving made the greatest improvemCent in health, to the State Short Course for 4-H club girls held at Winthrop College. She also exhibited sewing and canned products at the county fairs and still cherishes the ribbons. Mrs. Neel is now President of the Home Demonstration Club, prior to this she has serv ed several terms as secretary. She is also active in the PTA and has served as Vice Presi dent and Secretary of the local onganization. A year ago the Neels moved into their new attractive ana modem home planned and built by Mr. Neel Who is president of the Newiberry County Farm Bureau and Scoutmaster of the local Boy Scout Troop. Mr." and Mrs. Neel are both leaders in the Lutheran church. He has held various offices in the church and is now deacon and chairman of the building committee for the new church. Mrs. Neel is leader of thei Children of th e Church, As sistant Teacher and Chairman of the Membership and Evan gelism committee. Dick is now in his fourth year of club work. He has been interested in calves an^ pigs and has exhibited at fat stock shows. He has been to ,p each summer since he red club work. He also mgs to -the Boy Scouts. CHIMES BE DEDICATED The Wilmer H.
