) m VOL. 14—NO. 46. NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1952 4 *1.50 PER YEAP BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER We always had some sort of craziness going around. Much of the time we were in a game of “green.” To play that two or more kids formed, a compact. And, until it was called off, if one caught the other without something green on his or her person, he had to give you something of value. At any time or place, all you had to do was point your finger at him and say “green.” He was on the spot then, as of that moment, to show you something green he had. And if he didn’t have a green leaf in his pocket, or a green piece of paper for some thing, he had to ante up. So we carried pieces of mag nolia leaves in our pockets. They ftould often get dry and crumble up. But, so long as you could show your adversary even the little crumbs of green, it cleared you. And when we used to come in at home between meals and say “I’m hungry,” the invariable answer was, “Well, go catch a kungry.” That always disgusted me, for I wanted something to eat. And I never knew what a “kungry” was. Two Communities Exceed Quotas According to an announcement yesterday by J. J.

This law Section 51 of the Newbery Code, provides that: “It shall be un lawful for any person, firm or corporation to sell or offer for sale any goods, wares or merchan dise, fruits or chattels whatso ever, on Sunday within the corpo rate limits of the Town, except funeral supplies, ice, bread, milk, drugs or medicine: Provided, it shall be lawTul to operate filling stations and to sell petroleum on Sunday during the hours prior to 10:30 o’clock in the forenoon and after 2:00 o’clock in the after noon.” City Manager Blackwell stated that if sufficient evidence to en force this law w r ere brought to him, regardless of whether it was showing of movies, selling of newspapers, candy, magazines or anything not specifically provid ed for in the law, a warrant w r ould be sw'orn and a case made against the person or persons guilty of violating the law. Council chambers were packed again Wednesday night with those persons protesting showing of Sunday movies. Theatre Manager Fulmer Wells and Theo Albrecht were also present, at the request of Council, to present their views on the subject. Mr. Wells, speaking on behalf of both theatre owners, said: “the time has come when we cannot compete on an equal basis with the Drive-In theatre on the cut-off now operating on Sunday, and the new T Drive-In theatre to be opened soon. We believe what is fair and right for them is fair and right for us.” When asked by a member of council whether the city theatres would be satisfied to remain closed on Sundays if the drive-in theatres were forced to stop showing Sunday movies, Mr. Wells stated “Any law that would close them would automatically close us.” Mr. John Clarkson spoke briefly in behalf of Messrs Wells and Albrecht, saying first that he w r as not representing them as counsel but was speaking merely as an individual. He stated “in my opinion, I do not think there are two more honorable, upright and trustworthy men in Newber ry than Fulmer Wells and Theo Albrecht. He referred to the many civic services rendered to the city by Mr. Wells’ father and spoke highly of the families of both men. He concluded by say ing “I think we should try to work out a settlement of the situation rather than condemn these men. They are part of Newberry.” Rev. Neil E. Truesdale, pastor of Aveleigh Presbyterian Church, held the floor next, saying that he was speaking as a minister and as president of the minister ial association. He emphasized the fact that the South Carolina 1942 Code, Section 1733 could £e enforced, and cited Supreme Court Decisions to bear ou# his contentions. He cited further laws in which Acts were passed by the legislature allowing the showing of movies on Sunday in towns where army, naval or marine bases are located. Mr. Truesdale expressed his opinion that if Section 1733 of the Code did not prohibit showing of mov ing pictures on Sunday, there would be no need for the legisla ture passing special acts to per mit showing of movies in speci fied locations. Section 1733 of the Code is what is known as the “bear-bait ing” law, or the Sunday Blue Law, and provides that no person shall engage in such amusements as “bear-baiting, hunting, fishing,” and others, citing the specific amusements in which a person shall not engage under penalty of $1.00 per day. The law also states in essence that no laborer or artisan can perform usual or customary work on the Sabbath, the penalty for this violation al so being $1.00 per day. This law is similar to Section 61 of the Newberry City Code, except that the penalty provided in the City is greater than that provided by state law. City Manager Blackwell stated that no case could be brought in the city courts under the South Carolina Code; that any cases made be fore the City Recorder would necessarily be made under Sec tion 51 of the City Code. (Mayor Wiseman stated “I think this question should be settled by the people of Newberry. I don’t think six men here can settle this question. I think it is too big a question for council.” Council considered passing an ordinance spelling out the pro hibition of Sunday movies and other amusements, such as base ball and motorcycle races but after discussion, decided to pass this ordinance by and make an effort to enforce the one already on the books. City Manager Blackwell stated that he was ready to enforce the (continued on page eight) Local And Personal News Of Interest From Prosperity Mrs. George W.
