i ■ 'Thursday, November 21, 1957 THE NEWBERRY SUN ZttS.ys.yy;.. Sms Hat Is In It. Gov. Ring In formally announcing his cand idacy for the position of Lieuten ant-Governor, former Congress man Hugo S. Sims said that “in the future the people of South Carolina are not going to put up with wishy-washy or scarey public officials.” “The next few years,” he con tinued, “are the most challenging years in the history of the South since Reconstruction. Radical op portunists and idealistic do-gooders are propagandizing the nation with racial rot, striking at the very foundations of responsible stable government, and harmonious race relations so necessary to the de velopment of the individuals of all races.” Sims feels that those who offer for high public office in South •Carolina “must be willing to stand up against usurpation and uncon stitutional federal action, going to jail if necessary, rather than knuckling under to those who would destroy our liberties.” The former congressman plans to wage a very vigorous campaign 'because of the fact that “know ing people all over the State, and knowing what they are thinking about, and what their problems are, help to make me a better representative of the people.” He I is anxious to benefit from the advice and experience of people all over the State.

ELEAZEF GIVE MOTHER DRESS MATERIAL FOR CHRISTMAS We have a new shipment of one yard material for skirts with zipper to match for only $2.25 per skirt Carolina Remnant Shop Newberry, S. C. Main Street 7V We still occasionally hear of “breaking” a horse or mule. But not of “breaking” shoes. That was always a painful pro cess for us country kids. We went barefooted from the last frost of spring to the first one in fall. So during that long spring, summer, and early fall, our feet just had their unimpeded way. We either got shoes that did not fit, or feet' had spread so that no normal shoe would fit. When we got a new pair of shoes we had to conquer them to com fort. At first they rubbed and hurt everywhere they touched. And the coarse thread of my home made stockings made their print where the shoe fit tightest. A seam would come under the sole of my foot and it would burn like fire there when I had on new shoes. If there were old folks with the same size foot, they would offer to “break” our shoes for us. What a service that was! I only had that good fortune once. After he wore my stiff shoes a few days they felt all right on me. And, unfortunately, at church was where we suffered most from breaking in new shoes. A new pair was always our “Sunday shoes” for a good while until the old everyday ones wore clear out. So our feet gave us little peace at church, winter or summer. Dur ing the winter the new shoes hurt. And in the summer any sort of shoe caused a streak of fire to strike down the middle of the sole of the foot where that seam formed when the foot was crow ded into ashoe. And this was made worse by shoes for fast growing boys just about always being too small. A Sunday shoe will last a good while, and if it fit at first, it didn’t last long. But we had to wear ,em until they wore out, unless there was a smaller child in the famiiy to hand them down to. I was the youngest;; so I couldn’t do that. Guess that’s ‘why the thing im pressed me so. Mr. and Mrs. Parks Farrow and son, Billy, of North Augusta were recent weekend visitors in. the home of Mr. Farrow’s aunts, Mrs. M. L.
