Community Chest Drive
Is $841 Short Of Quota
By J. M. ELEAZER
We always had “Sunday clothes
and shoes.”
We were raised to be careful
when we had them on. And 1
was never quite comfortable then.
Tnose snoes always seemed to
hurt my feet. And I was so
affraid I’d get the clothes dirty
that I couldn’t play good with
’em on.
Most of that sort of bluff was
bought for the larger child and
then handed down to the next
one when it got too small. For
a kid would never wear it out,
so seldom did he wear it, and
such good care was taken of
it.
Overalls were our lot except on
those rare occasions and during
church hours on Sunday when
we wmre our Sunday best. Spring,
summer, and fall our feet went
bare. And the flint rocks of the
stone hills kept them as tough
leather. W T hen they were
With returns reported from all
divisions, the Community Chest
Drive was reported Tuesday morn
ing as $841.94 short of the $10,-
175.00 quota.
Cliff Graham in commenting on
the drive said that additional
letters w r ere going out, and that
he hoped that the goal will be rea
lized in a few more days. He
urged that anyone who had not
been called upon for a contribu
tion and would like to make a
donation, please call him at 355.
The report by divisions in this
year's drive, which is about 25
percent more than that of 1950,
is as folows:
as
bound in shoes for a brief spell,
it was torture during hot weath-
I’d pull mine off as soon as
er.
I got down the path from the
church behind the bushes. And
w r hat relief that was!
And not only the feet were
hot, our Sunday suits were of
year-around wool; so bodies too
were on fire when we had to
dress up in the summertime.
That was mostly for church. How
I dreaded that! I liked the folks
and the service all right. But
it was the torture I dreaded.
And it did seem that preachers
were awful long-winded then.
Company usually came home
with us for dinner. I remember
hearing the old folks discuss the
teyt and the sermon at the
table there. I wondered how
they could remember all of that.
I didn’t recall a word that had
been spoken. Guess the reason
was that my mind w T as usually on
my burning feet, rather than a
burning hereafter.

been obtainable as to what the
object was, but rumor and guess
es have tagged it, among other
things, a rocket ship, shooting
star, and jet plane.
The body was first seen travel
ing skyward west of the city, later
appearing to be moving at a very
rapid rate over Newberry to the
east in a horizontal position. It
was followed by a long white
trail, similar to a vapor trail made
by jet aircraft.
Observers estimated the alti
tude of the unusual object to be
from 30 to 50 thousand feet.

$30 Million Hog
Crop Estimated
Presbyterian Church of Washing
ton, D. C. During the past week this ana
South Carolina farmers will
produce almost two million hogs
and pigs this year, according to
projected estimates of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, con-
situting an income of about $30
million.
South Carolina produces about
one per cent of the nation’s total
swine crop, which is expected to
top 106 million head this year.
Hogs bring in §.l per cent of the
state’s total farm income.
This year’s huge hog crop is
expected to be the nation’s sec
ond largest on record. Probably
an important factor in the cur
rent rise in hog production is the
use of the antibotic feed supple
ments. Reports from farmers in
other Southern states
he has led a series of services in
St. Petersburgh Florida.
His message is vital and up-to-
date. He believes that is tha
day of God’s power, and is -aery
concerned that the Church may
not miss her great opportunity
in this hour. Members of all
denominations in Newberry are
invited to hear this great Christ
ian leader.

total farm income, while the
1930 crop brought 1.7 per rent of
the total.
