Seminary Auxiliary Will Place Marker The Women’s Auxiliary of the Southern Lutheran Church of Co lumbia will place a marker at the site of the first building in which the Seminary opened as a Theo logical Seminary and classical Academy. Funds are now being raised through individual mem bership gifts and also from organi zations of the Lutheran congrega tion of the South for this cause. The first Monday of February will mark 125 years since the school was started in the Eichel- burger home near Pomaria in sight of Bethlehem Lutheran Church. This historical landmark is too important to be neglected and the people of Newberry County should be especially interested in having a marker placed at the highway to point out this spot of historical interest. During the aext few weeks funds for this purpose will be so licited and sent to the treasurer, Mrs. Walter Pond, 4105 Parkman Dr., Columbia, or to Mrs. J. L. Drafts, Pomaria. The Auxiliary is an organiza tion interested in giving the Sem inary extra help and support above which the regular budget can supply. Since 1938, renovations, improvements, furniture, kitchen equipment, class room equipment and chancel furnishings for the chapel have (been the projects. Most of the Newberry Confer ence Lutheran churches contri buted last year and it is expected that all this yeear will take part in this worthy cause. As the Seminary expands, many other needs will arise. A scholarship fund for graduate study and furniture for students’ rooms will be considered at the apnual meeting held during the Commencement in May. > V > mm It* m t : K -.1 mi mm * t PP More exhibits are seen by Jr. High students at the hobby display at the school li brary.

MAMIE S. SUMMER “Such a beautiful scene”, was the remark of a visitor from anoth er state, as he rode down Newber ry’s Main street today. The many beautiful red-bud trees through out the city spread their limbs far and wide to welcome all who pass by and flash upon their beauty. Soon the pink and white dog wood and the Wisteria will unite with the red-bud in giving New berry a riot of Spring bloom. Many ask the question—who is responsible for all this City Beau tification? The thanks should go to the Newberry Civic League and the many other civic minded citi zens who assisted the League with this project. Many brought in their own plants from the woods and planted them on their lawns and parkway. During the year 1936 the Nation al Youth Administration, directed by Mrs. Mamie S. Summer began a Project of City Beautification, sponsored by the Civic League. A group of underpriviliged youth were employed by the N. Y. A. These youth were trained by Mrs. O. O. Copeland. They planted many red-buds and dogwood in Newberry. This work could not have been accomplished without the wonder ful cooperation of the late J. W. Earhardt, Sr., then Mayor of New berry and H. H. Ruff, then Super visor of Newberry County—City and County trucks were used for many weeks to move the small WELLS Theatre WEDNESDAY A THURSDAY mm the Also Color Cartoon Plans Progressing For Flower Show Preparations are getting into ful} swing for the forthcoming Newberry Council of Garden clubs flower show to be held Ap ril. 20. Several months ago ^ members were asked to save their small frozen juice cans and also the large 46 ounce- juice cans to be used for containers for the show. The covers of the cans should be removed and the cans thoroughly washed. They shotald then be tak en to Mrs. C. C. Duncan, 1414 Backman street, chairman of the container committee. Mrs. Duncan and her oemmittee are planning to paint these cans at an early daite, and would like to have the cans on or before March 30. Mrs. J. Price Padgett, flower show chairman, suggests that members planning to enter flow ers in the show begin now to keep up with their plants, in spite of recent cold spells, the first toarm days will speed up the opening of many of the early flowers. Mrs. Padgett would also like to remind those planning to enter roses to spray their bushes and disbud them as the early buds appear. In so doing they will be assured of more desirable roses for exhibit. Many attractive fektnres have been planned for the education and conservation division. Among these will be a showing of tkp. iris from George Earhardt’s garden which has attracted wide aiten-. tion. Also there will be display of orchids from the green hou6c\s of Carter and Holmes, who are prob ably the largest orchid grower* In this state. Although no admission is being charged for the show a silver of fering will be taken to help de fray the expenses. plants in from the woods. The City and County should look today with pride upon a job well done twenty years ago. The red-bud in Margaret Hunter Park are beautiful now. Near the barbecue pit a brilliant red one is in bloom. Drive over and walk through the Park and decide to continue the City Beautification Program by planting a red-bud on your lawn now. All who pass by will be up lifted by its beauty for many years.
