A. H. COUNTS “Times sure have changed in the delivery of mail,” said Wilbur J. Ringer, who retired a few days ago after delivering the mail as a rural letter carried on RFD No. 1, Pomaria for 41 years. “I learned that first day that a carrier has his ups and downs and that the mail must go on de spite the weather, rain and high waters. I encountered all those on my first day out before com pleting the day was about ready to give up my job. The roads were bad and muddy, mostly red mud roads, and following several inches of rain the creeks were full of water with water streaming over their banks. I had two troublesome creeks, Cannon’s and Hellers Creeks, both of consider able size on account of the several tributaries which supply them water for some distance. The two creeks had overrun their banks and my old horse after trodding almost 30 miles was about ready to call it quits. It was but a few miles to the end of my route, the sun was setting, and those two creeks were out of bounds, over flowing to a wide path over the highway I was supposed to travel. It meant maybe a drowning for me and my horse and buggy and the mail that I had collected that day. After giving my predicament a good thinking I decided to return by detouring over a fill from the backwater of the Parr Shoals Dam which meant a distartce of some ten additional miles. The mail had to go so I turned around and headed for the fill and as darkness was falling I reached the back waters of the Broad River and after crossing the fill was ready to make the remainder of six miles to Pomaria. Completely worn out, I reached the postoffice where Postmaster James L. Graham was sitting in side with a kerosene lamp await ing my arrival. I had been gone since eight in the morning, and now darkness had descended upon the earth. That was my first days experience. The salary was less than a hundred dollars per month which I had to feed my family, feed the horse and keep up my vehicle. When Mr. Ringer retired the roads had been put in fine condi tion, fine bridges had been erect ed and an automobile could make the route in a short time. The salaries had been trebled and then some and he received reimburse ment for his traveling expenses. They say that there is nothing like the good old days, but that certainly does not hold good for the Rural Letter Carriers. His last day was a pleasant one for the rural carrier. Mr. Ringer remembers well the numerous liquor circulars the carriers of 30 to 40 years ago had to deliver. It looked like many on the route ordered a quart, the limit for a month, and when ord ering would give the name of some hundred others ia the neighborhood who might want to make an express order of a quart. The worst feature about the cir culars were the fact that hund reds of them came flowing in the mail with- fictitious names and initials, making it almost impos sible to deliver. Mr. Ringer wishes to thank his patrons for the kindness they be stowed upon him for on many oc casions he found all kinds of good things to eat and many of them meet him at the box to learn the news of the day and to gossip a little. In fact the carrier in the olden days was somewhat of a newsgatherer and carrier. Mr. Ringer states that he is going to sit on his porch, receive . his monthly check, rest and be happy. Mr. Ringer has a brother, Thomas E. Ringer, who served RFD 3 at Pomaria for 36 years before retiring last fall. The two brothers have served as carriers from the Pomaria postoffice for a period of over 76 years. Both are married and have families and live within a stone’s throw of each other in the town of Pomaria. The former is 69 and the latter 65. Pony League Needs Money The Pony League, organized this past season, has run into fi nancial difficulties. One business firm which signed as a co-sponsor failed to pay the entrance fee causing the deficit, according to Philip T. Kelly Jr., president of the League. A plea is being made to the sports-minded fans of Newberry to make contributions so that the final settlement can be made for the year’s operation of the league. Donations in any amount will be accepted. Those who wish to con tribute are asked to send the mon ey to Kenneth Cook, Treasurer, 923 Jessica A^e., Newberry Recent Marriages James Tommy Davenport of Silverstreet and Cora B. Crump ton of Prosperity were married on August 17 at Newberry by Rev. C. L. Richardson. Kenneth Baker and Martha Ann Hannah of Whitmire were mar ried at Whitmire August 20 by Rev. Thomas J. Crisp. Henry T. Johnson Jr. and Linda Jo Crisp of Whitmire were mar ried by Rev. Carl L. Alexander On August 16 at Whitmire. Jackie Brice Shealy of Chapin and Linda Summer of Newberry were married in the St. Philips community on August 25 by Rev. Clarence L. Richardson. The reason is that payments are made only after each month of training completed, and not be fore. Further, before VA may make a payment, it must receive a cer tification signed by the veteran and his school, stating that he has been in class all month. The law allows VA 20 days after receipt of certification to get checks in the mail. LAFF OF THE WEEK SERVE PEACH SHORTCAKE TO GLAMOURIZE MEALS CLEMSON, Aug. 3.— Glamor seems to be taking the day with everything—and there’ll be no lack of glamor to your meals when you serve luscious peach short cake. Here are two kinds of peach shortcake suggested by Miss Mar garet Martin, extension food pro duction and conservation special ist. For a sweet dessert she advises sliced fresh peaches on a generous slice of angel food cake, topped with slightly sweetened whipped cream. But for a real “shortcake”, she points out that rich biscuit dough baked in individual servings is tops. Split and butter the short cake generously, and on the bot tom layer place sliced fresh South Carolina peaches that have been sweetened. Then cover with top slice, garnish with more peaches, and top with whipped cream. 'WM Vets Are Given Schooling Tips Veterans planning to start school this fall pnder the Korean GI Bill were urged today by the Veterans Administration to follow an eight-point check list to avoid unnecessary delays and to guar antee “clear sailing.” Following is VA’s check list; . 1. Since veterans are allowed only one change of .course, they should give plenty of thought to their goal and the training pro gram leading to the goal. 2. Veterans not sure of their training goal may request VA vo cational counseling. 3. Veterans should be certain their course has been Gl-approved by the State in which the school is located. VA Regional Offices— and not VA headquarters in Washington, D. C.—can furnish information about approved courses. ' , 4. Veterans should complete ar rangements for admittance to their school before filing applica tions with VA. 5. The application for GI train ing should be completely filled out) and signed. It should be sent, along with a photostat or certi fied copy of the veteran’s separa tion paper, to the VA Regional Office serving his area. 6. The application should go to VA as soon as possible. This will enable VA to iron out any snags before school starts. 7. Veterans with dependents should have the necessary proof of dependency ready when VA re quests it. For a wife, this, would be a photostat of the marriage certificate; for a child, a photo stat of the birth certificate. 8. Veterans should take along enough money of their own to tide them over the first two months of training. It takes that long, or dinarily, for a veteran’s first monthly GI check to reach himi ;-l D > ft 1 Guernesy Cattle Will Be Sold The North and South Carolina Guernsey Cattle Club will sell 43 registered Guernsey at auction (22 cows and 21 bred heifers).
