MR. JOHNSON
“America’s Greatest Peril”
will be the subject of Haywarc
H. 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.
