Redskins Meet
Furman Friday
The Newberry Indians will be
out to avenge a 3-2 Little Four >
setback by the Flying Fleet of
Erskine when these two teams
take the field at Newberry on
April 18 for the Indian’s first
night game of the season.
Game time is slated for 8 p.m.
Also on the Tribe’s schedule
fc> action this week are battles
with Furman and Belmont Abby.
The Indians will play host to Fur
man in a twilight game to be
played at Chapin on April 20th.
This game is also scheduled to
begin at 8 pm.
Then on Saturday, April 21st,
the Redskins will travel to Bel
mont for a duel with the Crusad
ers of Belmont Abbey.
The Redskin’s record to date is
5-3 and two wash-outs. The Ma
rines of Paris Island took three
in a row from the Indians before
Ohio University clipped the Tribe
for the fourth. A contest with
Davidson was rained out, then
Newberry won the first from Pfe
iffer on North Carolina. The next
slated contest, with Georgia
Teachers, was rained out, and the
Redskins took the Citadel and
Furman in order before they
were tripped by Erskine.
Looking especially good on the.
mound have been Indian pitchers
Russell Stoudemire, who set the
Citadel down with only two hits,
John O’Cain in his defeat of Pfe
iffer, and a freshman, Bobby
Shealy. This crafty lefthander,
Shealy, worked well and looked
strong as he defeated a strong
team from Furman university.
The Indians have been hot and
cold at the plate, but the long
ball hitter has been left-fielder,
Julian Pratt. A left hander at the
plate, Pratt has blasted two
round-trippers for the Tribe in
eight games.
THAT FATAL THIRD STEP
By Jac Tweton
B Y THE time Rick McLeod took
that third step, the suspense,
and dread, were excruciating. I
truly loved Rick and I knew I
would hate to cast him aside as
I had the others.
I had privately admired blond,
brown-eyed Rick by long distance,
if on the same floor, for too many
weeks before he summoned me to
his office and announced, “I’d like
you to be my secretary, Miss
Steete. 9 ’
“Shall I start at once?” I asked,
probably too eagerly.
“Yes. The raise begins at once,
too.” Rick smiled charmingly, just
for me, for the first time. “You’re
considered the best stenographer
in the office.” He did not look dis
pleased with my appearance,
either.
“Thank you, Mr. McLeod,” I
said primly. As I left lb get my
notebook, I glanced at Rick’s name
on the door, and frowned. C. L.
McLeod. How did he get “Rick”
out of that?
A small cloud marred my hap
piness and triumph. Rick had just
taken the first step.
A month ago, Rick asked unex
pectedly, “How about dinner to
morrow, Ruth?”
I Joyfully answered, ‘Td love
R.” But I thought, now he’s taken
step. I begrn fortify-
for the inescapable
b uethtng wrong with the
lh that “ie” can’t spoil
hut my family does Just
that, aaBe ma RuthAe. It does no
good to correct them They keep on
doing it and I o—Mna blowing my
black-haired tap over my hated
juvenile nickname wished on me
even by strangers. My own family
thinks I’m unreasonable about it.
All my St years I’ve longed for
an imnUhnamaablc name like Ida
or Amy. By the time I was* grown
up, "Ruthie” weighed on me like
a locomotive. All my boy friends
since I was tan or twelve called
me Ruthie sooner or later.
After I grew up, there were those
three step*—Miss Steele, Ruth,
Ruthie. Some persons take the
steps slowly, others in three con
secutive sentences. i.e. ’’Very
pleased to meet you, Miss Steele,”
“How about a date tonight, Ruth?”
“But why can’t you go out with
me, Ruthie?”
Rick had set a new record for
elapsed time between “Miss Steele”
and “Ruthie.” We were together
often—dinner and dancing, mov
ies, concerts, games. Always he
called me Ruth.
On the day I had dreaded so
long, Rick took me to lunch, some
thing he seldom did. My intuition
made me fearful.
After we ordered, Rick fidgeted
with the silver, quite obviously
braced himself, then uttered the
fateful word, “Ruthie, I—” The
expression on his face resembled
that of a man waiting for dyna
mite to explode.
I wonder how I looked. After a
befuddled instant, I realized that
“Ruthie” didn’t sound horrid any
more. But it was a shame to waste
Rick’s anticipation. Besides, a
devilish idea wormed its way into
my surprised mind. I yelped, “I
can’t stand to be called Ruthie,
Cedric Llewellyn McLeod!”
Rick’s handsome face registered
surprise, shock and fury. “I hate
those names!” be shouted. People
were staring at us. More compos
edly, he asked. “How did you find
out?”
“Mutual friend. I was curious
•bout the initials that didn’t match
your name.” I smiled. “Why did
you call ma Ruthla I could see
you thought I'd blow up.”
Rick grinned. “Honey, you
must’ve put a long fuaa on your
temper this morning.” He took my
hand and said seriously, “I had
to find out if it makes any differ
ence when someone you love cells
you Ruthie.”
I didn’t even cringe. “It does,
Cedric Llewellyn.”
“You’re right, Ruthie.” He didn't
flinch, either. We smiled.
Patrons looked at us again when
we stood up by unanimous, un
spoken consent and kissed.

Census Program
Gets Underway
In a joint program with the
State of South Carolina and each
of its counties, the Bureau of the
Census is establishing areas,
known as “Census County Divis
ions,” for use in statistical re
porting. Similar areas were estab
lished in the State of Washington
prior to the 1950 census, and
since 1950 have been put into ef
fect in five other States, Oregon,
Idaho, Georgia, Colorado, and
Tennessee.
Miss Erme M. Waggener, a
member of the Census staff, is
here from Washington to consult
with county officials and solicit
their advice in regard to the pro
posed areas for Newberry County.
The proposed Census County
Divisions should be particularly
useful for local administrative
purposes. The Census County Di
visions are generally larger in
area and population than the
Townships; they have clearcut
boundaries which can he easily
identified, and they are intended
to remain as permanent areas.
For the most part, they are based
on the communities which serve
as the focal point of each area.
The statistical data for these di
visions will serve as a yardstick
with which to measure the sphere
of influence exercised by such
communities. It is believed that
the Census County Divisions will
be a handy tool for the use of
county officials, local newspapers,
and business and civic organiza
tions.
Miss Waggener stated that the
county divisions set up by the Bu
reau of the Census will not inter
fere in any way with the use of
Townships by the State or coun
ties.
For Census purposes Newberry
County has been divided into 8
Census County Divisions compric-
ing population and farms approx
imately as follows: ,
