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.

For City’s Beauty
By DR. 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

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.
