PREJUDICE MEANS BEING DOWN ON SOMETHING YOU AREN’T UP ON. THE BEST WAY TO DOUBLE YOUR MONEY IS TO FOLD IT AND PUT IT IN YOUR POCKET! VOLUME 18—NUMBER 29 By The Way By DORIS A. SANDERS A LA MODE? Have you ever eaten goldfish pie? Well, I have, but I’m thank ful to say that the pie was as imaginary as the eating. I some times wonder what a two and one- half year old child will think of next. The other day, she got my pot holders, placed each of them between two of her books in sandwich form, and served me “goldfish pie, shrimp pie and liver pie.” The types of pie wore in spired, no doubt, by her “Three Little Kittens’ ’book. I must admit that her pies aren’t much more tasteless than the ones I try to make. RARE INTELLIGENCE There is one publisher’s baby with “rare intelligence,” according to its father, for having the good sense to wait until the dayafter press day to be born! The pub lisher says “It is even apparent already that she is a young lady of rare intelligence amd discern ment. Contrary to the tradition of newspaper families, she had the good sense to arrive on Thursday, so she wouldn’t interrupt her dad dy on Wednesday while he was busy trying to get the paper out. Traditionally. newspaper folks’ children arrive on press day.” The proud father is Publisher J. Lu ther Aull formerly of Newberry, now of The Ridge Citizen, in Johnston. The mother is the for mer Miss Peggy Hite of Johnston and the New Edition has been named Margaret Shannon. THE CONSTANCY OF IT I believe it is J. M. Eleazer, in his Farm and Folks column, who is always saying “Change, change, the constancy of change.” How well this was brought home when I visited Newberry High School the other day and had a look at the new lunchroom and more es pecially, the home economics room. When Supt J. V. Kneece showed me that kitchen, I could visualize the old home ec room we used when I was a student, with small gas burners which we hoped would work, no ovens that i could recall, and perhaps an old refrigerator. This shiny new mod ern kitchen has inlaid linoleum tile, naturaJ finished cabinets lin ing the walls, modern electric and gas stoves, refrigerators and sinks. It must be a pleasure to take home ec these days at Newberry high. And as I watched the students going to classes, something look ed out of place—what was it? Finally it dawned on me—boy» and girls were using the same stairs! And how foolish it would sound to them to know that not too many years ago boys used the right side stairs, girls the left and “never the twain” met. I hear there are mai^y other changes there, too, but I have to take in things gradually so it won’t be -too much of a shock! RECOGNITION GAINED I never seem to get around to the subject that I think I am go ing to write about. My mind was on the high school band, but drift ed away. Now to get back to the band, I think it well deserves the recognition which it has received in being invited to attend and participate in the Cherry Blossom festival in Washington, D. C. The band is another innovation since my days at the high school, and I think it is a good one. The children of the lower grades, and the boys and girls in the second ary schools are most fortunate in being able to receive valuable musical training in their public schools. Whether they continue their musical education or not, they will be glad in later years for the training they had in school. Already these youngsters are working for their trip to Washing ton. Supt Kneece says it will cost some $1300 for transportation and ’,v lodging, not counting meals while dn Washington, and that if the band makes the trip, it will be up to the band members and their p| parents to raise necessary funds. J Already the band has planned a chicken barbecue supper to be held on December 2 from 5 until 7:30 p. m. to begin their fund raising campaign. Merchants will NOT be solicited for this cause, but I expect there are a good many ffi individuals who will be willing | to donate to the cause. Perhaps | some of the service clubs, the ; Jaycees or Chamber of Commerce heflp out in advertising our city. I hope they will be able to ttake'the goal before the festival hi April. Full particulars about festival and the high school may be seen in another ar ticle in this issue.

Many Newberrians who do not realize it have been eating meals prepared in the kitchen shown in the picture below. If you have been a patient m the Newberry County Memorial hospital, this is the place your meals were prepar ed; these are the people who pre pared them. This kitchen is always kept spotlessly clean and neat, and those who keep it so, and plan and prepare the meals, are Mrs. Mabel Jones, chief dietitian, who joined the staff of the hospital in February; Mrs. Ada Ringer, as sistant dietitian, Mrs. Mattie Reeder, Mamie Williams, Ethel Alston, Shirley Caldwell and Wil lie Margaret Chaplin. Mrs. Jones, who keeps up-to-date on the latest in nutritional care of the sick, recently attended the fall meeting of the South Carolina Dietetic Association which met at the Greenville hotel in Greenville on November 4 & 5. While there, she heard a talk by Dr. O. B. Gar rison, director of the South Caro lina Experimentation Station, who spoke on the subject “Nutrition Research in South Carolina. She visited and tourned the Greenville General hospital and enjoyed a coffee hour at the nurse’s home there. On Friday night, Mrs. Jones had the opportunity of hearing Mrs. Florence Reynolds, informa tion and education officer, Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, Washington, D. C. at the association banquet. On Saturday members of the association were guests of the Ballentine Packing company for lunch. Mrs. Jones received much val uable information at the meeting, which will be used to insure the proper dietetic care of patients at the Newberry hospital. Mrs. Jones’ home is in Whit mire. The other members of the kitchen staff live in Newberry. Indian Club To Sponsor Drop-In Thursday, November 24th is Turkey Day at Newberry College and the Indians will be meeting the Blue Hose of P.

In every land humanity is crying for a lasting peace . . .” Referring to the military em pires throughout the ages, the speaker said “Nations built on military might are shattered by the weight of their armaments. The ideal of military efficiency reaps a harvest of pain, sorrow, death and destruction. There has never been a nation built on mili tary might that has not crumbled and fallen.” ’ The only hope for lasting peace, continued the speaker, was for nations to “build on higher and holier foundations. The worfB must change ' its ideals of civili sation and let wisdom and right eousness point the way. Nations must accept the consttfution of the human race as laid down by Christ on the mount” “Would it not.be fitting,” con cluded Mr. McBride, “for our own America to cleanse and puri fy herself?
