PAGE SIX THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 195fr “My wife used to bang up our garage too. Then PURCELLS gave me the idea of financing a new car, and now my wife’s afraid to drive it.” They’re mighty nice folks to know, especially when buying' a new car or refinancing your old one. P u 11 iff ff r c e "Your Private Bankers' 1418 Main St. Newberry THE BAFFLES By Mahoney I REMEMBER' BY THE OLD TIMERS r^rom William Sommerville, Par- tons, W. Va.: I remember when I vas a boy I used to go to the coun ty store with my mother and buy Irbuckles Coffee for 10c per «ound and granulated sugar for Ic and the best of slab bacon for lc per pound. These kitchen neces- lities were usually exchanged for chickens, eggs , and butter and very little money was used. The wages at the time were jUc per day of ten hours or more. The winters were longer and very severe with deep snows and large drifts which took up into the spring months to melt away. Sometimes in early May. I also remember the old up and down saw mill located on a small creek near my father’s farm which was run by water power, tho even at that time it was obsolete and not in use. The grist mill was also very com mon at that time. They were run by water power supplied by a dam built in the main creek. I used to carry many a grist of corn to the mill on my back when the horse had other work to do in the fields. ' The most used firearms at that time was the muzzle loading rifle, a few muzzle loading shotguns were in use. The principal way of pre serving many kinds of fruits was by drying on a roof in the sun or stringing on twine strings and hanging them behind the stoves to dry. When dry, they were usually placed in empty flour bags and hung up on nails for winter use i 1 | W E HOPE it won’t happen. But our country must prepare for any eventuality in this atomic age. One A-Bomb over a big city could cause 60,000 casu alties. At least 40,000 men, women and children would need at least one unit of whole blood or plasma immediately—and three times that amount after the attack. Plasma can be stored for five years. The Federal Gvil Defense Administration is trying to collect enough blood to build a minimum reserve. But building a blood reserve is only one phase of the National Blood Program. Our Armed Forces have first call on the blood vou donate. Because ... to the man wounded in combat, blood is life itself. And—to the veteran recuperating in a service hospital, blood is what it takes to make him whole and well again. What’s more, you yourself may need blood in the eveni oi nre, exp»oiiuii or other disaster. And to .ue child threatened with Polio, blood may mean the differ ence between crippling disfigurement and recovery. So, you see, there are many reasons why you should give blood now. And again.
