Ringer Recalls
Old Days; They
Weren’t So Good
By MRS. 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,

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.

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
