Y v »; a - the SPERRY AMO HUTCHINSON COMPANY ESTABLISHED 1896 Basketball To Get Underway At College Charles Gallagher and Joe Ca- passo have been elected to co-cap- tain the Newberry College In dians through one of the most col orful basketball schedules in Newberry history. Forward Gallagher, Honorary Team Captain District 26 of N. A. I. A.; twice All-District, All-State, All-Little Four Conference; Little Four Player of the Year, and nominee for Little All-American, i from Elizabeth, N. J., is a senior at the small Lutheran institution where he has lettered three years. Last season he averaged 19.9 points in 24 games, and was 44% accurate from the floor. Also, his 85 I from the free throw line was exceptionally high. Gallagher’s three-years at Newberry have been the cause of arousing great enthusiasm for the game. He is known as the jump-shot-artist, for his one-hand push shot is his most dreaded weapon. Agile, quick, and elusive, he springs some 33 inches from the floor. His three year record during which he has com piled 1,116 points is as follows: as a freshman he scored 239 points and averaged 11.8 with 37 per cent accuracy from the floor; as a sophomore he scored 400 points for an 18.2 average with 38 per cent accuracy from the floor; as a junior he scored 477 points. He stands 6’2”, and weighs 170 pounds. Senior guard Capasso, hails from Brooklyn, N. Y. and is a three-year letterman. He has an exceptionally good shooting per centage from the free shot line. He is 5’8”, and weighs 170 pounds. Joe has good touch on his outside shots, and is a better than aver age playmaker. In addition to 21 scheduled games with Little Four Confer ence and ’ out-of-State teams in North Carolina and Georgia, the “Fighting Redskins,” along with The University of Tampa, will represent SIAA District I in the revived Southern Intercollegiate Invitational Tourney to be held at McNeese State College in Lake Charles, La., December 9, 12. Other highlights of the ’59-’60 schedule are the Parris Island, Invitational Tournament in De cember, and the annual Little Four Tournament which will be held in the spacious Greenville Memo rial Auditorium. Although the “Redmen” were stunned by the loss of three start ers by graduation, Bobby Lynch, Sonny Dugan and Jim Wooldridge, a stalwart nucleus is present in Indiantown with the state of South Carolina’s leading scorers Charles Gallagher; and^ Cal'! Short, a jun ior from Indianapolis, Ind., out to better last years output of 41 points and 21, rebounds per con test between them. Freshmen who wall definitely be seen in action before the season is hardly launched, both as starters and first-line reserves are: Bill Scarry, Joel Derketsch, and John Pelkaus, and Sal Lalicata. Other returnees are senior cen ter Bob Hampton, the tallest on the squad at 6’7”; juniors, 6’4” pivot man Johnny Bouknight, and 6’3” forward Grady Jackson; and sophomore Tony Niemeyer, 6’6” 1 REMEMBER” BV THI OLD TIMERS From Mrs. Bert Stewart, Spring- ville, Iow r a: I remember the old threshing days wh^n the average “run” lasted during nearly all of the month of August. The “crew” consisted of all the farmers for miles around, in addition to the men who accompanied the rig it self. These were the engineer, the man (or youth) who hauled water by the tankful to supply the engine, & one (or sometimes two) to tend the separator. These usually stayed overnight at the homes of patrons, but in these cases when they did go home, they invariably returned in time for breakfast. Father’s first duty was to see that the granaries were made ready to receive the oats, barley, or whatever; also to have on hand plenty of fuel to carry through his own job and take the equipment to the farmer next in line. Then the help had to be no tified when to be on hand and what tools each was to bring. In the days before phones and autos, this was no small chore. Sometimes inclement weather or other circumstances made it ne cessary to go through this routine two or three times. On the day before the big. event —often after dark—the huge ma chine came throbbing and puffing its way into our barnyard. To this day I know no sound so fascinat ing as the peculiar whistle it al ways emitted upon arrival. It was probably a signal, but we chil dren thought it was just for our entertainment. To us the engi neer was a real wizard, who by merely pulling a lever here and touching a gadget there, could coax the machine to his bidding. forward. The Indians will be under the coaching- reigns of Tom Quinn who is currently in his second year as Head Basketball Coach. He is a graduate of Marshall College, and a native of Beckley, W. Va. In 1958-59, the Indians established a 10-14 won-loss record which is one of the better records in the past few years. Rainfall Nears Record In City By MRS. A. H. COUNTS Rainfall is far above the aver age in the Newberry area this year, according to Virgil Setzler, who keeps weather records for the government at the Newberry Fil ter Plant. Mr. Setzler reported that rain fall here for the first 10 months of 1959 has totaled 49.37 inches as compared with the annual av erage of 45.39 inches for the past 55 years. Newberry’s biggest rain yebr was in 1929 when 75.26 inches fell and its driest on record is 1925 when only 30.32 inches was re corded. Already farmers in this area are complaining about the heavy rains this season. The wettest month so far this year was Sep tember when a rainfall of 9.38 inches was recorded. July was al most as wet, with 9.08 inches. If this year’s monthly average holds up through November and December, Newberry will have had a total of 59.16 for the year, which would be considerably be low the all-time record but almost 14 inches above the annual aver age. Some of the old-time farmers recall vividly the drought of 1925 when the monthly average was only 2.5 inches. Cotton was gath ered in a cloud of dust and many farmers were worried about feed for their livestock during the winter as all crops were greatly curtailed. The late Dr. W. C. Brown of the Mt. Bethel Garmany section often told of harvesting cotton stalks for silage. Hallowe'en Is Quiet In City Hallowe’en proved very quiet for the Newberry city police but they were busy Monday morning investigating a series of four rob beries and a shotgun shooting which occurred Sunday night. Chief Colie Dowd said that a Negro woman, Jessie Lee Glas gow and a three-year-old child were hit by several shots fired from a 12-gauge shotgun through a door into a room where the two were sleeping. The shooting took place on Simpkins St., where the shotgun blast tore a hole in the door about the size of a quarter. Neither of the two are believed to be serious ly hurt. Chief Dowd reported that three break-ins occurred during the week and a fourth on Saturday night. Homestead Filling Station was entered twice. From the first robbery a couple of dollars and a pocket knife are missing and from the second entrance several cfg^ arette lighters and another knife and some change. ♦ Clark’s Wrecking Company was entered and the sum of two dol lars is missing. The store of Charlie Ruff on the by-pass was also entered. Assisting Chief Dowd and his department are members of sheriff’s force and members of the South Carolina Law Enforce ment Division. Forrest Carpenter, of Cockeye- ville, Md., arrived Monday night for a few days visit with his mother, Mrs. E. A. Carpenter on Calhoun Street. W. T. Fulmer Passes Sunday Walter Thomas Fulmer, 53, died suddenly Sunday night after a week’s illness. He was a native of Newberry County, but had made his home in Joanna for the past 31 years. He was a son of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Bullard Fulmer of New berry and the late John T. Ful mer. He was a member of the Epworth Methodist -Church of Joanna and Magnolia Lodge A. F. M.

Fulmer of Joanna, a twin; Clar ence M. and John T. Fulmer Jr., both of Newberry; three sisters, Mrs. Sudie Roton of Newberry, Mrs. Pearl Lunsford of Clinton and Mrs. Harry Barrett of Wood ruff.

Muster Day at Old Sturbridge re-creates the traditional event in the late 18th and 19th centuries when militiamen assembled on village greens throughout New England to answer an annual roll call Their women and children joined them—the populace came from miles around for the most festive event of the year. There was plenty of cider and hard gin gerbread to munch on. There was geniality, music and marching. At Old Sturbridge the costumed military units are led by the his toric Mattatuck Drum Band of Waterbury, Connecticut, orga nized in 1767, the oldest fife and drum band in America. Their bright uniforms and the tradi tional dress of other such units as the Lexington Minutemen, blend in perfectly with the setting of this re-created New England country town of 150 years ago. The visiting soldiers’ costumes contrast effectively with floor' length empire gowns and coun try homespun shirts worn by the hosts, hostesses, and demonstrat ing craftsmen who staff the Vil lage’s 36 exhibition buildings Pausing briefly in their work to watch the Muster Day festivities . will be the Village Potter, the Miller, the Printer, the Black smith, the Frugal Housewife, the Spinners and Weavers, Candle- dippers, the Preacher and Store keepers. all who ply their trades in the manner of the Yankee craftsmen of yesteryear. The Band and military units will parade several times during the day to such Revolutionary War tunes as “Zipp Coon,” “Old Dan Tucker” and “The Road to Boston.” Muster Day gingerbread is served to militiamen off of their drumheads by costumed host esses when troops are at “paradt rest.” FOR AND ABOUT TEENAGERS By C. D. Smith Who's 'Chicken'-and Who Has Courage? oon't ee chicken A TEENAGE boy writes: “I like the ‘crowd’ I run around with, but sometimes they think up mischievous things to do that could get us into trouble if caught. I hate to be ‘chicken,’ so I usual ly go along. If I just watch, am I as guilty as they are when mis chief is done?” Guilty — and ‘chicken.’ We’re not talking about “guilt by asso ciation” or the fact that people us ually judze the character of a per son by the company he or she keeps. A man who waits in the car while two buddies go in to rob a bank is just as guilty as they if he knew they intended to rob the bank. There is no such thing as “going along for the ride.” On the question of being ‘chick en’—think about a moment and the realization comes that going along with the crowd is always the easiest thing to do. Standing on one’s own feet, making de cisions - for one’s self — here is where courage comes in. It is human nature to want to “belong” — to be part of a gang, group, or association, whatever it might be called. Yet, neither a teenager nor an adult should be willing to sacrifice his individuali ty or forget the difference between “right” and “wrong” to continue to “belong” It’s too high a price to pay. Actually, if the truth be known, our friends usually respect us more if they see that we have the courage to think and act for our selves. Refusing to do something that we know is wrong is not a sign of weakness; it is evidence of character. Refusing to go along with the crowd “just for the ride” is evidence of courage as an individual—not as a member of a group or gang. - More often than not in this life, it takes more courage to say “no” than to say nothing.
