‘Kidding Ourselves’
Let’s not kid ourselves into
thinking that a city grows just
because men are in business or
work in a city, pay taxes and build
buildings.
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 !

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. C., aunt of the groom-
elect entertained for Miss Huff
man Saturday afternoon, June
20th at the home of her sister,

green and white were used in the
