VOL. 14—NO. 7 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 1951 + $1.60 PER YEAR Footage On The Lake R. F. D. 3 I have always had two ambi tions. One was to sing bass, the other to retire while still ambula tory. I never managed better than a scratchy baritone in the singing line, but I have retired. Contrary to the general idea that there are millions to be made in the newspaper business, I have retired with little money to speak of. I made up my mind I was going to quit, come hell or high water, and I am as happy over the decision as any intelligent person can be happy in this chaotic world. I am not going to work again as long as my wife keeps her health. I may spade up U Jew worms for fishing if the greund is soft and the bait near the eerface, otherwise I will buy them from the poor devil who has to dig them for a living. My wife has agreed to this arrangement. She likes to feel that I am dependent upon her (all women are like that) and aa long as she provides the groceries I am willing f° r ^ er to feed her ego on my idleness. And, besides, I see no good reason why women should not pmvide for their men. They tuta up heaven and earth to get hold of one, so they should see to it that he is kept in fairly good repair. After all an old pair of britches laying around is sort of comforting to a woman, something like an old shoe in a dog box. Then, they have othfer uses too, but that’s a long story. Man’s natural state is idleness, anyway. He started out in this world loafing and was doing very wen at ft tUrtft he spied what the described as the “soft and smooth" form of a woman. Then he lost his fool head and has never, except in isolated cases such as mine, regained it. He may be fearfully and- wonderful ly made but he played the devil when he swapped his role of for a ball and chain. 7 The incident which percipitated this retirement business happen ed 4 "' last winter. I awoke one morning with my heart doing about 200 RPM and thought I wag going to die. The Doc was summoned and came on the double. He popped some kind of pill in my mouth and strapped his blood-testing apparatus on my am. He gave the dial a startled look and shook his head slowdy. “Have you been eating any magnetized objects, such as nuts or bolts" he demanded. Weakly I replied I had not. “Then have you recently sat on a dynamo or a high tension wire.’’ Not to my knowledge, I answer ed. Well, there's something un usual here. Your blood pressure Is 960 over 1820, and nothing •xeept tigers and bloodhounds have such pressures.” He examined his machine to see if I had damaged it and cram med it back in his satchel. “Now, about your heart.” I seem to have one, I said. Thereupon he sat a little box on a chair and plugged it in an outlet beside the bed. The needle shot up to the top, faltered a minute and dropped back to zero. “Quite an unusual case, very unusual. Only bloodhounds and »• • • • • The Doc rubbed his Imagi nary whiskers with the palm of his hand then reached into his satehel and brought out an in strument which resembled a screw driver. This he stuck down my neck as he leaned close to take a look. “Ah, there it is'’ he said, jerk ing the screw driver out of my gullet. He now seemed satisfied with his examination, pocketed his three dollars and headed for the door. My wife followed him out and I thought I heard her say something about my in surance not being paid up, fol lowed by reassuring murmurs by the Doc. I suppose I just imagin ed this. Sick people do imagine things, you know. The Doctor told me to come by when he got his box fixed so that he could check up on my ticker. I haven’t gbeen yet. He also advised me to have some dental work done. I haven’t done that either. Not that I’m afraid of old Doc. Truett but by the time I get the washing out 1 have, to start dinner. I just don’t bare time for those little things. Newberry Will Offer Course In Personnel Management President James C.
