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. C. on the
gridiron. During half-time, enter
tainment will be furnished by the
Marine Corps Bamd from Parris
Island.
Immediately following the game,
the Indian Club will entertain at
a drop-in for friends and support
ers of the college. Light refresh
ments will be served buffet-style
through the courtesy of merchants
of Newberry who are donating the
necessary materials.
More than 600 persons attended
a similar affair after the Newber
ry-P. C. classic two years ago, and
a larger crowd is expected this
year. The drop-in will be held in
the reception room of Wessells Li
brary at the coMege.

After refeMiaijr^riefly t o 'tsfp
number of veterans in the state
and in the nation, Mr. McBride
turned his theme to a plea for
lasting peace tn the world, saying
“When the last veteran of the
wars pass on I hope there will
neveA be another veteran. 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? Theta the American
flag would stand for interpreta
tion of human rights.”
Dr. Mamie S. Summer, a mem
ber of the county committee on
Employ the Physically Handicap

turkey luncheon was served to
the guests. Dr. Summer recogniz
