THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1955 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE FIVE BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER •As kids we had our sling-shots too. Last week I told you of our slings, which are quite different from sling-shots. We roamed the woods much. Ajid our eyes were ever alert for forks in dogwoods that were just right for sling-shot prongs. We usually found the best ones where logging had been done a year or two before. When dogwoods were mutilated a lot, they would send strong sprouts up that often fork ed just right. When we found these, we’d cut them and roughly peel them down to the right siie. Then we’d stick them up under the well- shed to dry and season for months. The wood would get very hard and strong. We didn’t have sandpaper, but pieces of broken glass served to scrape them down to the right size, and they were as smooth as Hvery. We took Un- finite pride in the beauty bf our sling-shot prongs. And'' If they were not" perfectly 'synrfetrical when we gotv them, w^’d bend and tie them jusf'righk Then season ing and drying-* in that position, they stayed.-.—* ' ? —*- ■ We didn’t 'have automobile Tni- nertuibes then." So we -got our sling-shot rubbers by ordering off and getting thean .frpm Sears-Jtoe- buck. It was a great day when that small package came in the .nail. They were complete bands, with a weak place of cleavage in ’em. There is where we cut hm. Then one end of each was se curely tied to a prong. And mak ing that tie was an art. No or dinary tie would hold. Then a small strip of rawhide leather was made equally secure to the two loose ends of the rub bers. And in that you put your pebble, drew back, and shot. Now a sling-shot is far more accurate than a sling, though not nearly so powerful. We boys in the Stone Hills got to where we could kill birds or break bottles with our sling-shots. But slings were used only for heavy cannonading in imaginary wars. Deed Transfers Newberry No. 1 Sara Manning Jacobs to Sara A.

Revitalized Chest Drive To Be Held December 8th CIKLHT -«* local to NOMINATE OFFICjiAL* SUNDAY Mollohon TWUA Local union will hold its next regular meeting on Sunday afternoon, Nov 27 at 3 p. m. in the Mollohon school. At this time, the nomination of all officers will be completed. All members are urged to be present SOCIETY TO'MEET The Newberry County Chapter of the Crippled Children’s Society will meet November 30 at 3:30 p. m. at the borne of Mrs. P. K. Har mon, with Mrs. T. N. Parks as associate hostess. All members are urged to be present Walter Hamm, county chairman of the Community chest campaign committee and members of his committee have been holding meetings during the past week to make plans for a concerted ef fort to reach the Community chest goal of more than $26,000. Prev ious efforts at solicitation have brought in less than $16,000 and as a result, a county-wide Red -Fea ther day will be held on December 8th at which time all sections of the town and county which have not been previously solicited for contributions will be covered by Community Chest workers. James Coggins, of radio station WKDK, will make the station available for the entire afternoon and evening on December 8 in an effort to bring before the citizens of the county the need for contri butions and the purposes for which contributions to the chest are used. Thirteen agencies are partici pating in tbs chest drive in New berry this year and a close scrut iny of the services offered shows that the greatest portion of money contributed stays within the county, or directly aids people In the county. The agencies and quotas are as follows: American Red Cross $8,- 865.50; Heart Fund $1,816.00; Boy Scouts $4019.00; Cancer, $4,400; Girl Scouts $1,760.00; Salvation army $770; Christmas Baskets, $577.70; Emergency Fund $2,200; Carolinas United (a) S.

Facts concerning each of these agencies and how money given to them is used, will appear in the press of the county 'and may be heard on the radio between now and December 8. Citizens of the county are urged to carefully review the services of the agencies involved, to ask ques tions about any agency by calling the local chamber of commerce. These questions will be answered directly, by press or by radio for the information of the general public. Persons who are contacted to assist in* solicitation are also urged to participate by the county chairman. In the previous effort to reach, the Chest goal, many of those who themselves were di rectly benefitted, whose sons or daughters were members of the Scouts, or who in other ways ben efitted from the Chest fund have shown unwillingness to partici pate in thfe drive. It is the hope of Gharman Hamm that these people will reconsider and do their part to make Red Feather day a sue* cessful one in Newberry county.
