Mr. Tozer stated that there
would also be a choir of about
100 voices to furnish background
music and that during the spec
tacle week, various other events
would be taking place, such as
parades, dances, contests, barbe
cues, style shows, caravans and
beard-juding contests. The finale
each night will be an outstanding
fireworks display, climaxed by the
explosion of an “atomic bomb.”
Mr. Tozer highly commended
the college and the town for the
cooperation shown in putting on
the Centennial Celebration. “This
is an unusual and welcome situa
tion,” he said, “and you should
be proud.”
Rehearsals for the spectacle
got underway Saturday at Setzler
Field and Monday night at Mc
Lean Gymnasium.
The men and women dressed in styles of 100 years ago are shown as they were ready to depart
in *a caravan to Aiken last week. Purpose: to advertise the Newberry College Centennial Celebration

I might mention that the dog who
bit Janice was not a mad dog—
so you may think your dog
wouldn’t hurt a flea, but you nev

children from this menace—and I
might say our grown-ups too,
since Deputy Slim Henderson was
also bitten when he tried to catch
the dog mentioned above.

of Pomaria. The land was deeded
to Bethlehem Lutheran Church
considerably more than one hund
red years ago, and the house er
ected thereon was used as the
church parsonage for many years.
Only the first floor has been res
tored. The house has the original
walls and floors of virgin pine and
is simply furnished.
A semi-circular drive leads to
the residence which has four col
umns across the front. The porch
has been repaired and the columns
which were built on to the house
are not in keeping with the per
iod during which the house was
built. The house is mirrored in
the lake behind it where the barns
and pastures were once located. A
magnolia tree, hemlock, and
grandfather graybeard which
were planted when the house was
first built are still standing. The
charm of this country place will
certainly be enjoyed by those at
tending the Newberry tour.

Kiwanians Hear
S. W. Sargeant
By T. J. ESKRIDGE
At their regular semi-monthly
meeting, April 4th, local Kiwan
ians and their guests enjoyed an
interesting and instructive ad
dress by guest speaker S. W.
Sargeant of Spartanburg. Before
his retirement from active serv
ice Mr. Sargeant was assistant
director of Soil Conservation Work
for the Department of Agricul
ture, Caribbean Area. This area
embraces the Virgin Islands and
Puerto Rico. The address, broad
cast over Radio Station WKDK,
emphasized the preservation of
the soil as a moral obligation
owed by the present generation
to those to come- Soil conserva
tion, it was pointed out, means
using the land within its ability
and treating the land according
to its needs. The speaker remind
ed his audience that the anticipat
ed increase in population during
the next twenty years would
create a need for a greatly in
creased food supply, and that in
spite of the need for the protec
tion of the soil over 500,000 acres
of top soil are lost yearly through
soil erosion. Mr. Sargeant con
clude*^ his address by pointing out
that land and people go together
and that good farms, good homes,
good schools, and good churches,
mean a happy and prosperous
people. This fact, the speaker
maintained, justified the position
that the church has a responsi
bility for encouraging sound prac
tices of soil conservation.
Music was supplied by Profes
sor Jack Grim of the Newberry
College faculty who sang two
solos, “Wide, Dark, Troubled
Waters” and “•Blind Flower.” Ki-
wanian Darr Wise, also of the
college faculty, was accompanist.
Guests of club members were
Raleigh Tozer and Dean Bowman
who are associated with the pro*-
motion of the Newberry College
Centennial program. Invited as

ney of Woodruff; and Rev. John
