NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1950 + $1.50 PER YEAR BETWEEN CHRISTMAS “Between Christmaa'’ la what I once heard a fellow call the de lighttul week between Christ mas and New Year’s Day. During that time work is usual ly regarded lightly. That is the regular routine of work. It is then that we visit at any horn of the day or early night. And the folks usually pass good thing- to eat around so that regular meals at the table are relished little. We are just as liable to go hunting, if a neighbor come.- with dog and gun. Or to the woods to cut some backlogs for the winter fire. We always lik ed some green ones for that be cause they sing as they burn And the dry wood is added as needed to make the blaze and make the sparks fly when you chunk it. If honeysuckle or briers have ridden down the gar den fence, w r e are liable to clear the whole thing away and rebuild it at this season. Shurbs an likely to be set in the yard, and if another shade tree or two is needed we dig it from down on the creek and set it too. In fact, this is the time that the women folks usually get a lot of needed work done around the house by the men. Christmas music is on the air, and there are special occassions at the church. Men wear the new ties they got and ladles their new scarfs. New calendars come. We throw away the old ones and hang the one that hold a plumb new year. Date Christmas cards keep a- comlng,’ New Year’s ones are sent to those we forgot, and vice versa. At night on the last day there to-a feeling of expectancy Vo. the air. The kids stay up and shoot their last firecrackers, as the clock strikes midnight, and d^d gets out his old rusty gun and fires a double load. Cars speed by with horns blaring and the mill whistle in the distance blows with all its might. A new year has been born! And we go to sleep feeling re freshed and ready.

With $1.06 in my pocket and the bag of sardines, crackers, and Vienna sausage used up, I faced the night and next day home with a dollar and a nickel in my pocket. I found a cheap up stairs rooming place across from the depot. I paid the 50 cents for it apd went to bed. Some thing was biting so I couldn't go to sleep. The light was turned on and I never saw so many bed bugs before. I shook the blanket out and got on the floor. In no time they were down there too I got up, dressed, and went and sat in the depot until the train left a little before day. At Jes- eup about mid-morning I ran to a near-by store, got three large bananas for a nickel, a tin of potted ham, and a box of crack ers. And after a change in Co lumbia, I arrived back at White Rock about sundown with 40 cents in my pocket and a great Adventure under my belt, (oontlnued on book pafle) Spotts Awarded Road Contracts A $152.50V 4n contract for roa<l ■oust met ion in Kdio-fienl (been wood and Saluda counties ha- re •ently been awarded to Sport- j ■nd Company of New berry Th reject will include trading and I dtuminous surfacim.- of D .01' niles of state roads in these counties.
