THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. 100 YEARS OF BROTHERHOOD Wk- YMCA Charts Five-Part Program To Cover Rural Areas of Nation (The second of two srUcles.) One hundred years ago the Young Men’s Christian Associa tion, known familiarly to four gen erations of Americans as the “Y”, was founded in the U. S. to fight vice, degradation and delinquency in the cities. Now, in planning its next century, the YMCA is going to move into small towns and rural areas. iE^SCREI By INEZ GEBHARD JjjVERYBODY but Columbia Pic tures has plans for Rita Hay worth; her home studio is just wait ing for her to report for work. With a large part of the American public agog to see her because of her much publicized romance, they could put her into a dramatization of the alphabet and make millions. Virginia Van Upp has completed two stories for Rita, and it is ru mored that Metro wants to borrow her for “The Merry Widow”. What would really make the customers storm the box offices would be a re- The YMCA began aiding service men during the Civil War when Y workers, called “Christians” by the soldiers, followed both armies to serve decently cooked hot meals, help tend the wounded and insist on the humane treatment of pris oners of war. In the Spanish Amer ican War, they introduced dough nuts and coffee to soldiers. At one battle they arrived with their ra tions some three hours ahead of the troops! During World War I, the Y, according to General Per shing, performed 90 per cent of the welfare work for soldiers over seas and during the recent con flict, as now, the YMCA comprised one-third of the soldier-service organization known as the U.S.O. The best of the Y’s hundred years of experience will go into the new* five-part program designed to cov er non-urban areas. The organiza tion will work this way: 1. The Small City Association, to operate as independent units in cities under 25,000 population. 2. The Town and Country Asso ciation, covering both farms and small towns in a single county or group of counties. 3. The County Branch, covering a rural area centered about a large city. 4. The Outreach Program, ex tending from a thriving city YMCA to cover small neighboring com munities. 5. The District Program, all ru ral, directed by the state YMCA organization but sponsored socially and financially by the area served. RITA HAYWORTH make of “The Shiek”, co-starring her with Tony Dexter, of “Valen tino” fame. Or would that come dangerously close to being auto biographical? Gertrude As tor begins her 37th year in pictures by playing the role of the landlady in “The Dark Page”. She says she must have ap peared in 1400 films, beginning in 1914 when she went to California to work in "Under Two Flags”. Jackie Kelk, “Homer” of “The Aldrich Family”, has just received an offer of more than $5,000 for his extensive postage stamp collection; it was made by Louis Ramvuela, who owns cattle ranches in Argen tina. Kelk hates to sell it. Meredith Willson’s “May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You”, written as a theme song for “The Big Show” and introduced six months ago, has beta recorded by top artists, be come a standard item on programs of Ezio Pinza, Gracie Fields and Jan Peerce, is used for assembly closing in schools, colleges and churches, and is the song most popular with GI’s in Korea. Joan Fontaine got very little pub licity when she curtsied to Madam Peron, did somewhat better when she did Paris with Prince Aly Khan, whose marriage to Rita reaped headlines for her. FINANCIAL PROBLEMS, of course, will play a large part in the Y’s scheduled rural drive. YMCA officials emphasize that the Y can not and will not begin at the out set to construct large, streamlined buildings, with hotel space, gymna sium, meeting rooms and swim ming pools in order to lure mem bers. A YMCA, they explain, must first establish a firm spiritual foundation and a record for con crete Service to the community be fore it can begin to think in terms of permanent headquarters. Instead, the organization burden will fall largely on the rural sec retary, a YMCA career man who has been given special training for his job and, more likely than not, been educated at one of the Y’s twenty-five degree-granting col leges. He will begin, like the found ers pf the first YMCA in Boston in December of 1851, by interesting social-minded members of the com munity in the Y movement. He may work through churches of all denominations or through the pub lic schools. Depending upon how long he has been in the area he will spend three months to a year observing local conditions and then report lengthily to his superiors on how, in his opinion, the YMCA can best improve its foothold in your community and extend its services to the people who live there. The stated purpose of the Y, which is to develop Christian lead ership among the nation’s youth, has already helped to mould the character of such YMCA alumni as President Truman, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Douglas, Gene Tun- ney. Senator Robert Taft of Ohio and thousands of other figures of national importance. Its fondest hope for the future is that it can help to build similar qualities in the young men and women who must see the nation safely through its next hundred years. ssword mm LAST WHITS ANSWER 10 11 12 13. 15. 17. 13. 19. 21. 24. 28. 30. 31 33. 34. 36. 37 40. 43. 45 46 47. 49. 50.

Holm ■pARM FOLKS are always asking * a squire for information and ad vice on law. Dave Tidwell was no exception. Dave was a leathery-faced man in his sixties. I was attracted by a peach tree on his place, then in full bearing. He gave me a few peaches. Dave’s place didn’t look any too prosperous. He spoke of his dilapi dated old car near the barn. “I guess I’ll never have money enough to buy a new one,” he said. “Can’t make anything on this place now.” I could see he had something else on his mind. Pretty soon he started to ask questions. mm “Squire, who does money belong to if it’s found hidden in a man’s barn?” “Why, I •suppose it would belong to him, unless someone else could prove direct ownership,” I told him. More questions were asked, rath er cautiously. At length he said: “I used to have a hired man named Obie Hart. Don’t know If yon ever heard of him or not. He’s dead now. He was a good fellow. “When he was a young man, he and his brother Sid lived around here. Obie got engaged to a girl but she threw him over for Sid. Obie always hated Sid for that and left home. Never spoke to Sid again. He came to work for me nearly forty years ago and stayed until last year when he died. I didn’t pay him much but he saved his money. He didn’t trust banks, either, and he never married. GRASSROOTS GOP Again Faced With Lack of Positive Platform By Wright A. Patterson T HE REPUBLICANS have named their time and place, July 7, 1952, at Chicago. The especially . important part of the next presi dential campaign remains. I be lieve the most important is the party program, the stating in clear and definite terms what the party pro poses to the American voters. In many ways, it is of more impor tance at this time than the selec tion of candidates. That program must be of a positive nature. No longer can the party appeal successfully to the voters by merely “view ing with alarm” the policies and actions of the opposition. What the voters want to know is what the Republicans will do if they are returned to power. They want the assurance that there will be a definite turn to the right; that our free enter prise system will be preserved; that the continuous growth In the bureaucratic army will stop, and the numbers of that army be diminished. They want to be assured that we will continue our war preparations, but will discontinue, for a time at least, the unnecessary home proj ects that we can get along without, and by so doing, relieve the tax payer of a considerable portion of the load he has been carrying. Such are some of the definite pronouncements the voters are looking for. They will not be satis fied with only condemnation for the present, or any past, administration. They want to know what the Re publicans propose for the future. ‘ In 1940, 44 and 48 the Republicans had an opportunity to win. They muffed all three chances by not proposing a definite program, and sounding hard on that program. This 1952 looks like, not only an other, but the best of four oppor tunities to win, provided Republican leadership can and will produce a positive platform which the voters will support. This is no time or place for in decision. The time is for a def inite and constructive program that will put America back on the prosperity highway, main tain our economy and outlaw in flation. Can the Republican lead ership draft such a program and express it in implicit, and easily understandable phraseology? Picking the candidates is the next important step yet to be taken. Should a popular hero soldier, such as either Eisenhower or MacArthur be the candidate of either party, he would be virtually assured of elec tion. MacArthur removed himself from consideration by the statement he made in San Francisco, a state ment I am sure he meant. Eisen hower’s political affiliations are not definitely known, and he could be a candidate of either party. It is hardly probable that he would be a candidate for the Demo cratic nomination if the President wishes again to be the candidate of his party. Of the strictly political leaders Taft seems to have the most strength. He demonstrated in Ohio that he is a vote getter and that the leaders of organized labor cannot dictate the politics of that group. Aside from some one of our mili tary heroes, Taft seems to be the logical Republican candidate, and he would rtand on a turn-to-the- right platform and back such a plank to the limit. But unless Republican leaders can get together and formulate a Republican platform that has an appeal to a majority of the voters and offer such a program as a promise of the party to the people, 1952 will possibly be but another of the muffed opportunities. * It will not be long now before politics will drive Korea off the front pages. * The best time to go fishing will be August and September of next year. Then you can escape political ora tory. * How much of the 52 per cent of the vote the President polled four years ago, can he regain before the first Tuesday in November, 1952? * Wars are costly affairs. Even after the shooting stops, the cost of pensions is to be reckoned with, and they go on forever. • * The adoption of that last constitu tional amendment insures us against another Roosevelt perform ance as a continuous candidate. It is now two terms and out. Fanners Are Warned About Use of Poisons Respirators Advised For Dusting Operations This summer American farmers and gardeners will use about 1,000,- 000,000 pounds of bug-killing mater ials, much of it containing para- thion, especially those highly ef fective on the destructive leaf aphid. * Insecticides containing parathion are used a great deal by commer cial fruit producers. Now produced by several chemi cal companies, parathion in its original state is a brownish liquid. But as a commercial insecticide it Respirators should always be worn when handling parathion- base insecticides. Protective rubber gloves also should be used since the toxic chemical can be absorbed through the skin. I could see he had something else on his mind. Pretty soon he started to ask questions. r/^FTER HE GOT sick last year Obie didn’t live long. One day I was talking to him and he said, ’Dave, if anything happens to me I got money enough in my clothes to bury me. Better get it right now —over there.’ I did and we counted it out He acted like he wanted to tell me something more, but all he ever said was that he didn’t want Sid to have anything of his. “A few days later Obie died. The money wasn’t quite enough to bury him, but that was all right. I paid the balance. Sure enough, Sid came snooping around, inquiring about Obie’s money. I told him what I knew but I guess he didn’t believe me. Argued on it and huffed and puffed. Was real ugly about it, too. He claimed Obie’s clothes and watch. Probably his by law anyhow. I couldn’t prove anything different, could I?” comes in powder form to be used for dusting or mixed with water for spraying. < While highly effective on insects, parathion also is extremely poison ous to humans. That is why some kind of respirator is recommended for farmers and growers spraying or dusting with insecticides contain ing the chemicaL A light weight and not uncomfort able respirator, with a molded rub ber facepiece has been developed by the Mine Safety Appliance com pany of Pittsburgh which will fill the needs of most farmers. Proper equipment on the modern farm is essential if the farmer is to protect himself, his employees, and gain top production. “Now here a couple of weeks ago 1 was working in the barn and came across a wad of ten dollar bills stack away in a mortise slot. Wasn’t a great deal. I don’t know who pot it there. Who does the money be long to?” “Dave,” I said, *T can’t advise you, but if it had been me that found it, I wouldn’t do any hunting for an owner. It’s your barn, isn’t It?” We looked at each other with the light of understanding between us. “I don’t know if there’s any more there or not,” said Dave. “As I said, I don’t know what Obie did with his money. He must have ac cumulated quite a little in forty years. He may have done something with it I don’t know about, or any one. Anyhow, he liked to be alone around the barn a great deal” “Dave,” I said, “what people don’t know won’t hurt them. If I found any money in my barn I would regard it as another good crop. If anyone thought different, it would be up to him to prove his claim.” Dave looked satisfied. “1 guess I can trust you, can’t L squire?” ^ I forgot all about the matter until a year later. Then Dave Tidwell came to my office carrying a half bushel basket of peaches. “These are some of the peaches you liked so well, squire,” he said. “I had another nice crop this year. Matter of fact, all crops were good this year. No charge. My regards.” The look he gave me was a pe culiar, knowing one and confidential like. I looked out my wiiyiow and saw Dave drive away. He was driving a nice new automobile. It was a make that must have cost twenty- five hundred dollars or more. Fanners of the Future May Find TV Indespensible Tired of trudging to the barn to check up on the cows and chickens? Soon you may be able to make such nocturnal inspections by flip ping a switch and looking at a tele vision screen. • , Scientists of the Radio Corpora tion of America have unveiled an experimental laboratory model of what could be the television inter com of the future. It could save farmers many a step when they hear a noise in the barn or chicken house at night. Key to the apparatus is RCA’s in dustrial TV system. This compact equipment uses a home-movie-size camera, which could be installed in any convenient spot where it could overlook the interior of the barn. The camera’s sehsitive pickup tube can see in almost any light the human eye can. The picture is transmitted over several hundred feet of cable to a master control unit no bigger than the smallest table-model TV set. Install the unit by your bedside, hang up your coat, and prop up your feet. Television may be a farm fixture before you know it /// Serve Protein-Rich Foods for Summer Meals To Repair Tissues “SHE SETS A GOOD TABLE,” in days gone by was the very l^st word in compliments for good home makers. Cold or hot weather, this meant foods which had that important stick- to-the-ribs qual ity, n a m el y, meat, fish, poul try or cheese. rich in protein. Though salads and cooling des serts are much in demand for hot weather, no smart homemaker for gets that her family is active in work and particularly in play. This means they need to re-build and repair body tissue and muscle, and nutritionally speaking, protein foods must find a place in the diet. A “good table” is still as essential as it was in grandmother’s day, and is possible when food wisdom, beauty and imagination are used for its preparation. Cheese Pegs are a good example of a nice choice for supper. Protein- rich cheese is combined with mashed potatoes, butter and egg, then fried to a golden brown. Serve them with garden vegetables for a well-balanced meal: cauliflower flowerets, plum tomatoes, cucum ber wedges and whole green beans, dipping the vegetables in sour cream dressing to enhance their ap peal.

It was first developed in the west to permit better seed bed preparation at lower cost and at greater speed. Fanning Added to List Of Critical Occupations Farm operators and assistants have been added to the list of criti cal occupations by the labor depart ment. Secretary Brannon points out that the list of critical occupations is used as a guide in the selection of manpower for armed services. This addition will aid selective service in considering cases of key farm workers needed to produce record agricultural supplies for the nation’s defense. Well-seasoned hot potato salad is a welcome treat when served with pan-fried frankfurters. Neither the salad nor the frank furters takes much cooking, and win help keep your kitchen cool when the temperature’s soar ing.
