Great people are not aflerted by each puff of w ind that blow- ill. Like great ships, they sail serenelv on—in a calm sea or a great tempest. REGARDLESS OF GIR(TM- STANCES, EACH MAN LIVES IN A WORLD OF HIS OWN MAKING. — Joseph Murray Emms. VOLUME 19—NUMBER 28 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8 195G + $2.00 PER YEAR By The Way By Doris A. Sanders HAPPY HOMECAMING That fine 40-14 victory over the Elon Christians by the New berry College Indians Saturday night climaxed one of the best and most well-attended Home coming celebrations seen at the College in many years. The sec ond team even made a touchdown and the Harvey Kirkland’s third stringers got a taste of a real game struggle, during the last couple of minutes of play. Let me say, however, that even though the score sounds lopsided, Elon played a good game and the Chr istians didn’t give up until the final whistle blew. This made for a much more exciting game, to the bitter end. Last year I recall mentioning, after the Citadel game, the excellent running of Bobby Rowe. He got loose the other night and sped down the field for a touchdown in one of the many exciting plays. Something else that made the game more enjoyable was the new college Marching 'Band, di rected by Charlie Pruitt. No or dinary looking band is this, with old type military style uniforms. To me, their uniforms were just right—styled like any well tail ored suit, with scarlet flannel coats and gray trousers, white shoes and shirts, gray ties. The band and its majorettes made a good impression on the crowd ol over 2500. This is something New berry has been lacking for too many years. It will be a fine ad vertisement for the College and I believe wbll lure more students interested in studying band mu sic. I have an apology to make about this Homecoming. We thoroughly enjoyed the alumni luncheon and would like to con gratulate Philip T. Kelly and his associates on not only the lunch eon, but all other arrangements they made for the homecoming celebration. Mr. Kelly was kind enough to line up such outstand ing alumni as Coach Dutch Mc Lean and Mrs. McLean; Lt. Col. Culbertson and Mrs. Culbertson; and Messrs. Ralph and Stanley Baker, so I could take a picture. I must shamedly admit that I didn’t get a picture after all due to carelessness. So my apologies to these nice people, and I hope n4xt time to do better.

Sims Speaks At Kiwanis Farmers Night; Shows Interesting Film HIDDEN BEAUTY It is a shame that anything so pretty must be kept from the pub lic view, but those who are in the know about growing chrysan themums tell me they must be kept covered if they are to be pretty at all. The reason I say it is a shame is that over at Shealy’s Hillcrest Florist on Drayton street, Mr. and Mrs. Gene Shealy have some of the most beautiful flowers I have ev er seen—and they would be vis ible from the street if they -weren’t covered. I suppose most of them have been cut by this time, but I am sorry that all flower lovers didnH have a chance to see them." Many were seen by those attending the football game Saturday night, for they were decorated with scarlet and grey ribbons and brightened up the ev ening for many of the ladies at tending the homecoming lunch eon and game. We have a picture of the chrysanthemums which -will be printed in next week’s is sue—sorry we can’t do it in co lor! 1 MORE FOOTBALL Seems that I can’t get off the subject of football this week, but tfye season won’t last much long er and I promise not to write at so much length about basketball. Newberry High played a good game last Friday night, even though they were defeated by a strong Clinton High team. This Friday night will be their final game, so be at Setzler Field at 8:00 p. m. to see them do battle with Honea Path. This will also be the last home game for the College. The Red- pirma play Stetson Saturday night at the local stadium, 8:00 p. m. T on the agenda for this ^NMkend ia an event which I is mighty nice. It is “Par- ” for Gallman High r when they meet Sanders Hfigh of Laurens at the Prosper Ball field. The parents of the senior football players will be hatter guests and will be present ed flowers during half-time cere- Following the game they be served supper with the at the Gallman High cafe- This is Gallman’s second Parents night. Clifford Sims, representative of the Department of Agriculture, was principal speaker at the New berry Kiwanis Club Farmers Night, held last Thursday at the Community Hall. Dr. E. H. Moore, Kiwanis presi dent, presided. T. B. Amis was in charge of the program. Mrs. Hazel Gilfilian, .soloist en tertained the group with three selections, accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Johnny Clark. Miss Wilma Boozer of Prosperity, county winner of the Farm Bu reau talent contest, presented sev eral pantomine numbers. Mr. Sims, statistician in charge of the Dept, of Agriculture’s crop and livestock estimating service in South Carolina, is a graduate of Oglethorpe University and at tended the University of Georgia, and VPL He has served the de partment in Athens, Ga., and New Jersey before coming to South Carolina. Speaking of his work in the north, he said “I know from ex perience and association that the South has many, many good friends among people of the nor thern states who wish us well in a satisfactory solution of our problems.” “Today we live in a changing world,” said the speaker, “there is no going back to the old days. We must go forward, always for ward if we expect to progress, and nowhere is that truth more evident than in Newberry county’s changing agriculture.” Mr. Sims went on to cite the many changes which have occur red on Newberry county farms during the past 20 years, reflect ing the changes in types of farm ing and sizes of farms; the in crease of automobiles, trucks, tractors, telephones and electric- service on farms. A sound movie in color, telling the story of the Crop and Live stock reporting Service of the USDA, was shown by the speaker. The picture answers such quest ions as (1) how the South Caro lina Crop reporting service col lects statistical information; (2) who uses agricultural statistics; (3) how farmers can use agricul tural statistics; and (4) how agr icultural statistics can benefit farmers. The movie also depicted the drama and secrecy behind the preparation of a crop report, and the method of furnishing this in formation to the press. Deed Transfers Newberry No. 1 Mattie H.
