Wife: “I was a fool when I married you.” Any of us: “I guess you were, but I was so infatuat ed that I didn't notice it then.” VOL. 14—NO. 32 BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER Differences in speech are quite noticeable when you go to other sections of the country. I thought it tunny when 1 went up North and heard them calling a creek a crick. A bucket a pail. And the step to a house a stoop. But, you know, those differ ences are often found much near er home. I can well remember when I first went to the old one-teacher country school away back in the stone hills from home. I hadn’t ever been across that creek, a mile back of home, or certainly not enough to be im pressed with how the folks talk ed. But at school I came in contact with those kids. Dif ferences weren’t great, but were very noticeable. For instance, they called alone aloone. Things were thangs. Maintain was mainteen. Own was oone. Thinking was thanking. Once was onct. Think was thank. Attain was attean. And so on. I wondered if those differences still existed down there. I was recently with a fellow who was raised over across the creek, but but he had been away for many years. He still pronounced those words just like he was raised to do. And he said I did too. I was recently back down in there talking with folks from both sides of the creek. Some of those differences seem to have gone, but not all of them. We are creatures of enviroment and habit, * and those things don’t change much. Deed Transfers Newberry No. 1 Tabor L. Hill, tax collector to Rev. T. E.

Civic League Christmas Tea Attracts 2,000 By MRS. A. H. COUNTS The doors of the Newberry Community Hall, hung with gar lands of greenery and large wreaths of holly, nuts, candy and fruit and tied with wide red ribbon, looked like a scene on a Christmas card Wednesday after noon, Dec. 5th, on the occasion of the Newberry Civic League’s annual Christmas Decorations Tea. The doors when opened to Qie approximately 2,000 guests reveal ed a large hall filled with hun dreds of gay decorations and designs symbolic of Christmas. Judged from the remarks of the guest, this was the most out standing affair ever held by the league. Dr. Mamie Summer, president of the Civic League, stated that the league had the cooperation of the garden clubs of Newberry, county council of farm women, the Prosperity Garden Club and others totaling around 800 wo men in making the occasion one of such beauty. These ideas when reproduced in the home will add much to the spirit of Christmas, she said. Mrs. Angus McCauley of Chest er, president of the State Federa tion of Womens clubs, of whicji the Newberry Civic League is a member, said ‘‘It makes ms proud that there is an organiza tion of club women to make South Carolina a better place in which to live. We are living in a fast moving world and wo men are moving up and are tak ing their place in world affairs.” In the receiving line wuh Dr. Summer and Mrs. McCauley were Mrs. J. Allan Lambright of Spar tanburg, director of the North ern District of the South Carolina Federation in Womens clubs; Miss Erin Kohn of Columbia, who has taken a part in the tea for many years; Mrs. James E. Wiseman and Mrs. O. M. Cobb, co-chairmen of the tea; Mrs. John Epps, *a representative of the Newberry garden clubs and Mrs. Raymond Nichols, president of the county council of Farm Women. In the center of the hall were the tables of the Garden Study Club, Palmetto Garden Club; Green Thumb Garden club; Rose Garden club, The Newberry Gar den club; Floral Garden club, Nosegays Garden club, Town and Country Garden club, County Council of Farm Women, Hal and Verna Kohn and the Prosperity Garden club, all of which were outstanding for arrangement, de sign and beauty. An arrangement that created wide comment was that of the Prosperity Garden club which was a reproduction of the “White Church” from an original by Grandma Moses who began paint ing at the age of 76. The handwrought iron chande lier in the center of the hall was hung with smilax and red tinsel balls in various sizes. The in side doors were decorated with magnolia leaves. The fine arts department of Newberry College decorated a window ledge with a “Christmas Carol” scene, the idea being from Charles Dickens. The Mens Garden club also decorated a window ledge. Other ledges dec orated by individuals represented snow scenes; Christmas morning showing children descending the stairs to the living room with tree laden with gifts, and other attractive arrangements and de signs. The piano and radio ar rangements came in for much favorable comment. The large tea table at thq head of the hall overlaid with a Venetian lace cloth of red car nations in a silver bowl flanked by tall silver candelabra holding red candles. Mrs. Robert Downs Wright, a charter member of the Civic League and Miss Grace Summer, president of the Newber ry Council of garden clubs, pour ed tea from silver services.

Christmas Tree Fires Should Be Prevented Preventable fire tragedies take the lives of many Americans each year during the Christmas and New Year holiday season, accord ing to W. J. Barker, leader, Clem- son forestry extension work. He points out that one of the greatest fire hazards during this period is the ordinary Christmas tree. “It catches fire easily from an electric spark, defective wir ing, candles or a carelessly hand led cigarette and burns very rap idly,” he cautions. “An average sized Christmas tree burns up completely within less than two minutes,” he adds. Mr. Barker calls attention to the following recommendations of the National Board of Fire Under writers which, if observed, should help reduce the death toll and property losses from fires origin ating at Christmas trees. For choosing and installing the tree this board suggests: Choose a small tree instead of a large one. A small tree can be just as pretty and it is less of a hazard. Don’t set up the tree until just a few days before Christmas, but keep it outdoors until ready to install. . Set up the tree in the coolest part of the house, away from ra diators, heaters, or fireplaces. Stand it in water to retard the drying-out process. Do not use cotton or paper for decorating the tree unless the decorations are flameproof. Do not place electric trains around the tree. For safety in lighting the tree, the board suggests; Never use candles. Use electric lighting sets only. Inspect every socket and wire to make sure the set is in good condition. Discard sets with frayed wiring. When buying new sets, look for the Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc., label or marker. Other safety suggestions in clude: Use flameproof or fireproof decorations of glass or metal to decorate your tree. Remove gift wrappings prompt ly after gifts have been opened. Provide a switch some dis tance from the tree for turning tree lights off and on. Don’t Ifcave lights burning when no one is in the house. From time to time, inspect the tree and see w'hether any of the needles near the lights have started to turn browm and if so change the position of the lights. When needles start falling, take the tree down and discard it out doors.

According to information re-’ ceived here from W. B. Worthy, District Manager of the U. S. De partment of Commerce in Colum bia, the National Production Authority has just issued an order under which owners of automobile “graveyards” must send that agency an inventory re port by December 20 detailing the number of motor vehicles, car units and amount of loose scrap they had on hand on December 1 of this year. The order also prohibits any wrecker from accepting melivery of any automobile or car unit dur ing the three-month period begin ning March 1, 1952 and the first day of June, September, Decem ber and March thereafter unless during the proceeding threo- month period he had disposed of all automobiles manufactured prior to 1946. The order makes it mandatory for prompt and complete com pliance with any. directives issued by NPA to allocate motor ve hicles, car units and loose scrap from yards for delivery or dis posal to scrap dealerr or con sumers. The sumu. and substance of the NPA order, Mr. Worthy said, is to make it a Federal offense for any owner of an automobile “graveyard” to keep his old cars on the yard and not get them in to commercial scrap channels. “If you can go home and think in terms of usefulness the aims of progeny testing, the methods and a realistic attitude you can do a constructive Job in setting up your program for successful Jersey and dairy work,” Frank Astroth of St. Paul Minne sota, president of the American Jersey Cattle Association said here Wednesday in speaking to approximately one hundred Jer sey dairymen at the annual meet ing of the South Carolina Jersey Cattle club. “It is not the * size of the herd, but rather the quality of the herd and the quality of the pro gram that will bring the reac tions you desire,” he also stat ed.
