Cities grow becahse men work together on a well developed plan and program. In Newberry firms and individuals are working under the name pf ‘Chamher of Com merce” to make business better. It could be called ‘‘The Apple club” or “The Booster club,” the name is immaterial. The organiza tion only gives an opportunity for concerted and cooperative action. These firms and individuals be lieve in Newberry’s future. They are putting money and effort in to a program of development that will build a bigger and happier city. The main issue is not wheth er we belong to the Chamber of Commerce or not, but whether we are doing our share in helping to develop Newberry. When this group or association helps business to plan special events, that builds business. When this group fights for good roads and increases tourist travel through Newberry, that brings business. When this group builds good will in our trade territory, that is good business. When the advantages and opportunities of Newberry are advertised, that brings business. These are only a few of the many projects that the Chamber is working on. Let’s all "put in”—work in har< mony and push in the same direc tion at the same time. Let’s not kid ourselves !

ENTERTAINS SATURDAY Mrs. Raymond TimmerAan of Conservation Edict From Bible Cited By Writer By BARBARA GILSTRAP (Newberry High 4-H Club) “And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree . . .” Ouifi earth’s* #oil is not perma nent. Under any conditions it Is extremely unstable. Every time it rains or there is a high wind some soil is carried with it It seems that man has a- habit of wasting land. We have wasted so much land already that we have no more to lose. If we lose much more land, it is going to decrease production of food. Land means different things to different people. To some It means a place to build a home, to others it means a. good living and yet to some others it means nothing. What does it mean to you? A lot, I hope. Because you see with good soil we can make a nice living and have a wonderful I America. Do you know what conservation means? It means the proper use and care of the land. Yes, It means the way you treat It. To conserve Soil you should use suitable eros- on * coi ttk -w Soil is the most important thing in our lives. Our food, clothes, lumber, wool, cotton, your job and many others are made from good soil. Conservation determines what land should no longer be culti vated, *hat land should be In per manent grass and how much live stock can be increased. When these plants are put into effect, the land, your land, will be secure against erosion. But the soil con servation movement cannot suc ceed without the sitpport of all America And if we give our sup port, I’m sure it will be as the Bible tells us: “. . . , And God saw that it was good.” Dallas, N.
