USDA Tells How
To Eat Cheaply
During April
IM-:
. Southern-grown cabbage, fresh
and processed citrus fruits, and
eggs are among the foods listed
by the U. S. Department of Agri
culture as plentiful in the South
east for April, Miss Marjorie Davis,
county home demonstration agent,
said here this week.
She says that according to the
USDA report cabbage is seasonal
ly plentiful in April and that, if
recent price trends hold, this
food will continue in the budget-
buy class for several weeks.
Most of the southern cabbage is
now coming from Florida and Ala
bama, but Georgia and South
Garolina will also have cabbage
ready for harvest in April. North
Carolina’s spring crop should be
ready by the last of April of early
May.
The nation’s ' 117-million-box
orange crop accounts for retail
markets being well supplied with
oranges this year. Southeastern
martlets, being within short ship
ping distance of Florida groves,
should have ample supplies of
fresh oranges and grapefruit. Pro
cessed citrus products also are in
plentiful supply.
Broiler production in April is
expected to continue at a high
level, especially since chick place
ments for April broilers were
25 percent greater than last year.
Miss Datfis states.
Other foods on the April plenti
ful list include fish, dates, dried
prunes, pecans, almonds, cottage
cheese, nonfat dry milk, lard, pea
nut butter, and vegetable shorten
ing and salad oil.

Says Wish Of People To Locate
Monument On Public Square
It was in those days that we
look upon as the days during
World War II. We had a most
wonderful spirit existing in New
berry County. Our sons were in
the military camps together,
they were in hospitals together,
they were on ships together,
they were is battles together,
many of them died together. Yes
we here at home had a wonder*
ful spirit of working together.
We worked at everything neces
sary to help our boys together.
We had county wide drives of
various kinds, U.S.O., Red Cross,
the building of a recreational
hall at' Newberry College and per
haps others. We worked to
gether. It was my great privilege
to work on all of the various calls
along with many others. I walk
ed and used my meager three gal
lons of gasoline per week to at
tend meetings, to solicit money
over my community, I am so
very proud , of the record of my
30.00
30.00
30.00
30.00
community in those 'days when
the people of Newberry, city and
county, were working together.
Not one time did we fail to go
over the top in our drives. Then
one day Almighty God answered
the prayers of a people that was
praying together.
Victory came, our boys had
won, thank God we had stood by
them together. We were so
proud of them and wevfelt that
we still had not done enough,
‘we met/and talked of the things
that we could do to honor them
and to let generations yet to
come know that we had stood by
our boys together.
So together we planned a great
memorial and monument to them.
This was done long before the
boys had gotten home. We plan
ned to raise a certain amount
of money together, we were to
ear mark* $5,000.00 of this money
to erect a monument on Memorial
Square in the city of Newberry.
If the'minutes of these meetings
are still available, they should
so state. The exact place was
I am.
I have nothing but praise for
those fhat worked to get more
money for the hospital. That is
all so very well and good. But,
can you imaging my surprise
when I learned just recently, fhat
a commission had now been form
ed, composed of one person repre
senting certaifi clubs, or organi
zations and that they were going
tc spend something over $4,000.00
to erect a monument to the vetr
erans of World War II and that
the monument would be placed
directly in front of the Newberry
Memorial Hospital.
Now what I am hoping to find
out, are these organizations
furnishing this money to buy this
Monument, or, are they spending
the money that the people of
Newberry county made up for
this' purpose soon following the
war, when the people were work
ing together. I would like to know
by what- authority anyone can
have to change these plans. If
these organizations are buying a
monument they have the right to
place it where they please, but,
if they are spending the money
that the people of Newberry coun
ty made up they have no right
under God’s shining sun -to
change the place where the monu
ment Is to be placed. I am speak
ing for myself, if any committee,
commission or individual spends
the people’s money for a monu
ment to be placed anywhere but
it was specified in the original
plans, they would simply be mis
appropriating the people’s mon
ey. It will in my mind ^certainly
be an insult and work to a dis
advantage to the City of New
berry and Newberry county if we
ever needed to again ask the
people for money on another
drive. To my mind it is not being
fair to the dead. I cannot, even
think of the late Mr. Z. F. Wright
being willing for a thing like this
to be done.
There are many more that I
could mention. Mr. Wright was

State's Forest Industries
Campaign Against Woods Fires
Col. Dem. Agent’s salary and travel
Salary
Rent
Tb* South Carolina Forest Industries Committee today
.announced the launching of an intensive educational cam
paign designed to help reduce the state’s costly forest fire
losses.
Distribution of 60,000 pieces of literature is under way and
the quantity will be more than doubled during the year, the com
mittee reported.
“We hope this campaign will
remind every man, woman and
child of the importance of pro
tecting our forest resources from
fire,” said J. E. McCaffrey, of
Georgetown, chairman of the
committee representing all seg
ments of the state’s wood-depend
ent industrial/ “The cooperation
of every citizen is required to
•top our unnecessary and waste
ful fire damage.”
Forest industries and the
South Carolina State Forestry
Commission will jointly circulate
the educational material. It is
being made available by Ameri
can Forest Products Industries,
Inc., public service organization
which serves as national coordi
nator of the Keep Green fire pre
vention movement.
The South Carolina materials
will carry the slogan, “Keep
South Carolina Green.” Featured
in the colorful literature will be
an eye-catching photograph of a
small pine, with the words,
“Worth Protecting.” This will
emphasize that woods fires kill
seedling trees which — if not
burned — would provide for tha
state’s future timber needs.
In South Carolina every year
more than 5,000 woods fires burn
a quarter of a million acres of
woodlands, the State Forestry
Commission reveals. If more peo
ple can be made to realize that
even grass fires kill little trees,
it is believed this damage can be
reduced.

on this project and attending
these meetings knows that this is
the truth. Our newspapers wrote
up article after article concern
ing. To my knowledge not one
person in Newberry made any
other suggestion nor objected in
the very least to this. monument
being placed just where the can
non was placed that was given as
scrap to aid in the scrap drive.
The monument was to replace the
gun. That is just as clear in my
mind as if it were but last night.
We all know the history of
how Newberry county again went
over the top in this the last but
the largest drive of all. What an
appeal we had, how the people
responded together. Some of
those incidents are still clear to
my mind, the people had been
offered an article at a certain
price, they knew what they were
buying and paying for. They
worked hard together, the job
was done and the people rejoiced.
I can picture in my mind some of
the Gold Star mothers, some of
the families and love ones that
had lost a son. Just how they
looked forward to seeing this
monument.
Cities and counties all around
us began putting up memorials,
monuments were being erected.
The people of Newberry began
to wonder. It got to be an old
thing and was actually forgotten
by many. Yet a large amount of
money had been raised and many
began to talk. Finally, one night
a meeting was held to let the
people know something. It con
cerned the hospital. The people
of Newberry county is well in
formed now all about the money
that was spent for the hospital.
Perhaps everyone is as proud of
the work that has been done as
the Hospital but I cannot think
that he would be willing to see
a monument to the Doughboys
of 1918 be on the memorial square
ad the monuments to their sons
be so far away. There are many
places that we could erect monu
ments if we cared to, we have
at least four parks. Any one of
which - would be much more ap
propriate than out at the hos
pital so far from the city. What
would any city be without a city
square? What a wonderful thing
for us to have a memorial square.
The good men and women had
better be careful and not lose
this square, for all that can be
seen of the city then would be
parked automobiles. The principle 1
in changing these . plans are
simply wrong, no minority group
regardless of who they are has
a just right , to change them. Let’s
not forget that these plans were
made when a people was work
ing together under conditions
when we were all very much con
cerned about conditions, we had
love for one another,^ we had re
spect for the feelings of each
one.
There are dozens of people over
Newberry county and men in
the city of Newberry that know
that what I have just said is
the truth. , I am hoping that
some of them will use their pres
tige, show their courage, stand
up for the truth and not allow
the monument to be placed on
the Newberry County Memorial
Hospital grounds, but to see to it
that it is placed on Memorial
Square just where the people paid
for it to be- placed. This is
their expressed and desired will.
Dewey Kinard
Randolph Scott has one of the
biggest roles of his career in
’“Man in the Saddle,” Columbia
Pictures’ newest action film in
color by Technicolor, Monday and
Tuesday at the Wells Theatre.
Joan Leslie, Ellen Drew and Al
exander Knox head the support
ing cast, which also features
Richard Rober, John Russell, Al-
fons(^ Bedoya, and recording artist
Tennessee Ernie, singing “Man
in the Saddle.”
All the wide wonder of the
West is reported to be pictured
in the new film, in which Scott
plays a small rancher who is
T^HE Resurrection of Jesus of
Nazareth is the one great ray
of light, hope, faith and inspiration
in what, without that fact, would
a dark and gloomy world.
It is in the presence of death that
we seek some evidence that can as
suage its sadness and create some
overpowering hope and confidence
that can bring light into darkness
and tragedy. There is no evidence
in nature, life, or history, except
the evidence of the Resurrection of
Jesus. It is the one supreme fact.
And what evidence have we of
that Resurrection? The evidence
of disciples whose own lives, out
look and actions were changed by
the fact that they saw Him after
His crucifixion.
They were affected by His death
just as we all are effected by the
death of one we love. They were
sad beyond measure, and they
were bewildered by the blow that
had been struck.
But beyond their sadness was
the intensity of a great disappoint
ment and discouragement, the
blasting of hopes that had been
great enough to induce them to
leave' everything and follow a
Master about to establish a king
dom.
Then suddenly their complete
despair was transformed into a re
vival of faith that, in itself, was
as the resurrection of something
that had died. In that new-found
faith their vain ambitions and their
disputations about who should be
first were all left behind.
Vision and courage of a new
comprehension of the meaning of
Christ and His Gospel inspired
them to go forth to their spiritual
conquest of the world.
The miracle of what happened
to the disciples is the miracle of
the Resurrection. And faith in the
Risen Lord has been the power
and inspiration of those who have
'HZ:
followed in their footsteps to |>ring
to man God’s gift of eternal life.

by Mr. Dewey Kinard concerning
changing the place to erect the
monument - to the veterans of
World War II. . I had the great
priyiledge of working with Mr.
Kinard on ALL of the drives that
we had. The things that he has
stated in his letter/are absolutely
conect. They express my wishes
also. Much more could be add 1
ed but it is my hope and pray;
that the monument will not
erected on the Hospital grounds,
but on the Memorial Square. It
is here that we have the monu
ment to our Confederate soldiers,
World War I soldiers and it is
the place where Old Glory is
now flying over and let’s see to
it that the New Memorial shall
be placed just exactly where the
people of Newberry county paid
for it to be placed.

the fact tha$ she loves Scott,
she leaves him to marry wealthy
Alexander Knox, who offers her
financial security. Knox, violent
ly jealous of Scott, tries to run
him out of the area. A violent
feud erupts, with gun-fights and,
fisticuffs said to be unmatched
in the history of outdoor films.
Scott is wounded in a gun

is nursed by schoolteacher Ellen

Knox, believing erroneously that
his own wife has run off with
