Banks Simpson Wins Third
Straight Race At Newberry
Jalopy Racing-
Added Feature
By MARION WIGGINS
Banks Simpson drove his No.
78 to an easy victory at the New
berry Fairgrounds Speedway last
Saturday night. This was Simp
son’s third consecutive win at the
local track. Billy Widenhouse of
Midland, N. C., driving Claude
Partain’s No. 33 came up from the
fifth starting spot to take second
money.
The first heat race began short
ly after eight o’clock with eight
cars in the line-up. Because of an
accident involving five cars on
the second turn of the first lap,
the race had to be stopped. In
only a few short minutes they
were off again with Ernest Tippett
taking the lead. On the eighth lap
Dick Joslyn of Orlando, Fla., pi
loting No. 71 overtook tippett and
•stayed ahead for the remainder of
the first heat race. Tippett took
second place with Johnny Dever
driving No. 21, taking third spot.
Twelve cars started in the 2nd
beat with Jimmy Roland, driving
Dave Laird’s No. 1-A corping out
of the first turn in the lead fol
lowed closely by Banks Simpson
in No. 78. Roland and Simpson
ran neck and neck for seven laps
before Simpson forged ahead.
It was anybody's race to the fin
ish, with Simpson nosing 1-A out
for the first place spot. Tailing
Jimmy Roland was "Speedy”
Thompson in No. 25, with Weldon
Adams driving “BB” on the heels
of Thompson.

Last Saturday was the begin
ning of “Jalopy” racing at the lo
cal* track. Although the jalopies
are not as fast as the stocks,
spectators got a big kick out of
this novelty. Anyone who has
not driven in regular stock car
races, may drive in the jalopy
event Cotton Whitmire of New
berry was winner of this race,
with Horace Hutto of Columbia
and John Willingham of Newber
ry, taking second and third places,
respectively.
Winner of the consolation race
was “Speedy” Thompson of Mon
roe, N. C., with a good lead. Com
ing in second was that lucky
man from Spartanburg “Ozark
Ike” Williams, followed by Jimmy
Roland driving “Possum” Jones’
No. 6. Partain’s No. 33, driven by
Billy Widenhouse, dropped out of
this race with motor trouble after
the first few laps.
In the main event, Banks Simp
son roared to an easy victory,
making this his third win in as
many starts at the local track.
He is getting to be well known
here and has attracted quite a
large following among Newberry
racing "enthusiasts. Billy Widen-
bouse came up from fifth position
Second in the last few laps and
stayed there. Hot on his trail was
Dick Joslyn, and in turn Speedy
Thompson, and J. V. Hamby in
No. 21.
It is expected that most of
these boys will be on hand again
this Saturday night to put on
another good race. Race time
will be eight o’clock.

Chamber Distributes
Membership Cards

recently distributed 1953-54 mem
bership cards to be displayed by
members of the chamber, accord
ing to Chamber Secretary Cliff
Graham.
Mr. Graham declared that mem
bership in the chamber of Com
merce is a definite asset to citi

city, and shows that they believe
in a united effort to promote the
city and county of Newberry.
“Every progressive community
maintains a Chamber of Com
merce,” Mr. Graham said, con
tinuing, “Every man in business
either helps to support it or en
joys a free ride. Your chamber
membership card tells everyone
that you are not a free rider.”
Mr. Graham suggests that mem
bers display their cards promi
nently and proudly, adding that
“membership in the Chamber of
Commerce does not cost, it
pays.”

S OMEONE has said: “Man - -
must wbrk. This is as cer
tain as the sun. But he may
work grudgingly or he may work
gratefully; he may work as a
man or he may work as a ma
chine. There is no work so rude,
that he may not exalt it; no
work so impassive, that he may
not breathe a soul into it; no- *
work so dull that he may not
enliven it.”
I HAVE ALWAYS believed
in work, hard work and long
hours if necessary. Men do not
break down from overwork,' but
from worry and dissipation.
MAN SHOULD THANK his-
Maker every day for the privi
lege of working and achieving.
THIS COMPANY has always-
tried to instill into its men the
glory of work and the spirit of
