ELEAZER We liked to play ball. But never had a bought one. Ours were wound from thread we got from old home-made stockings we raveled out. All boys and girls wore long stockings then with a tight elas tic garter at the knee to hold them up. Those stockings were made from our own cotton card ed by hand, spun, dyed, and knit by hand there at home. And they were very enduring. As soon as they got thin on the heel they were skillfully darned until they were about as good as new. But eventually they were so darned and snagged up that they let us have them to make our balls with. We couldn’t always get one started to raveling. But our mothers could. And once you started, it would ravel clear down to the first darned spot. As we raveled it out we wound the thread into a ball. When it got the right size we would take a needle and thread and sew it good so it would hold and not come to pieces nor ravel. A ball like that would last us for endless hours of play. In the sort of ball we played, “paddle- cat” we called it, you had to hit the runner to get him out. And that was all right most of the time. But when that old thread ball got good and wet, it could raise a blue spot where it struck with force. It was then that we did some fancy stepping and fast running of bases.

Bible Comment: Israel's Downfall Should Be Lesson For Democracies HTHE Northern and Southern kingdoms of Israel had fallen to conquerors, but the latter was to return from exile in Babylon to rebuild Jerusalem. The lessons to be learned from this ancient history are particu larly appropriate for the United States- and Canada. Whatever iso lation the two countries may have had, or might still desire, has been irrevocably lost Much depends on the spirit and practical judg ment with which we meet this new situation. Two things to remember about Israel’s situation are that the prophets were more important than the kings and that Israel, too, had lost any isolation it might have had. A small tribal group, in the era before rulers and empires had set out for world conquest, had now become a kingdom situated be tween great contending powers. It was always, therefore, in physical danger and in the additional dan ger of allying itself with one against the other, and of the con sequences of making the wrong choice. The ambition of kings, whose betrayal of their people into idol atry and other evils showed moral weakness and unfitness to govern, made this danger all the greater. It was under these circum stances that the prophets urged against entangling alliances and appealed for a high integrity in Israel 'itself. The prophets could not alter Israel’s physical situa tion any more than we can alter our “one world” situation today. It is quite possible that even a highly moral and spiritual integ rity could not have saved Israel. But what a- different fate it would have been from going down in weakness and sin! What is more to the point, the only real hope of Israel’s safety and contributions to the nations lay in the preservation of her in tegrity. Internal honor and hon esty, avoidance of intrigues and entanglements, and wise diploma cy would have been her proper course. Isn’t that the course our countries should follow today? The Newberry Muesic Club met on Tuesday, May 20, at •eight o’clock at the home of Mrs. Fred Gilbert with Mrs. P. H. Heisey, Miss Doris Brubaker and Mrs. J. E. Wiseman as associate host esses. The attractive home was lovely with arrangements ot roses and other mixed flowers. Mr. J. D. French, president, called the meeting to order with the club singing “America”, and reading the club collect. Then the secretary called the roll and read the minutes. A note of thanks from Mrs. W. T. Swink expressing appreciation for the hospitality which the Newberry Music Club showed the State Junior Music Club in en tertaining them for their annual convention was read. She said it was the largest convention to be held in some time and especial ly commended the Newberry High School Sextette and the College Singers for their performances. The president thanked all the committees who served under him during his term of office for their co-operation. Mrs. Richard Baker was askeu to report on the State Music Convention held recently in Flor ence, which she and some of the members attended. She reported a most informative and delight ful meeting. Being the incoming president, she appointed the pro gram and hospitality committee for next year and asked for any suggestions from the members. She also told of the fine per formance by the Charleston So ciety for the preservation of Spirituals presented in Columbia last week, which she attended. Mrs. J. P. Moon, current events chairman, also told of her delight at being present at the convention in Florence and expressed a de sire for Newberry to organize a Junior Music Club. Mrs. P. K. Harmon mentioned the fact that a South Carolina Negro had just made his debut in New York and showed his picture which appeared on the cover of “Musical America.” The program for the evening, “The Influence of Nature on Music,” was led by Mrs. Elbert Dickert. She gave a most in teresting paper on this topic quoting the works of Tennyson and Shakespeare and showing how Mozart, Hayden, Beethoven, Grieg, (continued on page eight) WASHED ASHORE ...
