VOL 14—NO. 33 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1951 + 11.50 PER YEAR BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER As kids, we liked a lot of raw tilings. On the way from school we would often go by the turnip patch, get us each one about the size of a goose egg, wash it off there in the ditch, peel it with our teeth, and then eat it clean down to the green leaves. Then later, when the turnips had gotten pithy or the cold had ruined them, we would often go by the ’tater bank, dig in through 'the straw and corn stalks, get us a .good one out, and then proceed as with the turnip. And oc casionally we would forget to close the hole back up. A hard freeze then, if it came before parents noticed it, would sure play havoc with our stored potatoes. Every time our mother went out in the smokehouse to get kraut from the barrel, we tagged along. She would squeeze the kraut out and give us each a double handful about the size of those turnips and potatoes. We sure liked that raw kraut. But, strange to say, we never thought about drinking the juice. Now I’m fond of it We lived awful close and wasted nothing. That kraut juice is about the only edible thing 1 ever saw thrown away. The old community drunk ard used to cravo it on the day after. But we regarded him as a sort of hog anyway and never thought of normal iolks drinking it. In the fall we feasted on the pods of the honey locust and wild persimmon. But by De cember the former had gotten all wormy and the latter all dried up. It was then that we hit the above three things often. Deed Transfers Newberry No. 1 E. Nichols to Claude E. one lot 76’xl45’ on Henry $1,900. Oflie Aurelia Mayer to J. T.
