UDC Chapter
Has Its First
Morning Meeting
The March meeting of Drayton
Rutherford chapter with Mes-
dames A. J. Briggs, T. B. Lester
and Elmer Shealy, in the home of
the last named, was an innova
tion in two respects: in the sixty-
four years of its history, it was
the first time a meeting had been
held in the morning, and the first
time the social hour had preceded
the business session. There was a
good attendance of members who
seemed pleased with the changes,
but all regretted the absence of
the president, Mrs. R. B. Baker,
and that of the Chaplain, Mrs. H.
L. Parr, both due to illness.
Mrs. J. E. Wiseman led the
salutes to the flags and announc
ed the subject for the program,
“The Cabinet of President Jeffer
son Davis,” with Mrs. R. D.
Wright as leader.
Mrs. Wright told of the arrival
of a messenger at the home of
Davis in Mississippi with a
wire which informed Mr. Davis
of his election to the presidency
of the Confederacy, which news
was a complete surprise to him;
of his farewell to the plantation
slaves at Brierfield; of the ted
ious trip of five days by water
and rail from his home to Mont
gomery; of a welcoming comm
ittee <of Secessionists leaders
boarding the train about 80 miles
from Montgomery.
Mrs. Wright then read an in
teresting description of the inau
guration as given by Hudson
Strode in his recent book “Jeffer
son Davis,” after which she took
up each of the six Cabinet ap
pointees, with his qualifications
or his lack of same. When the
President made his own choice of
these, each proved the wisdom of
his selection, but when he made
appointments at the urging of
the politicians, the result was
very disappointing. One of the
latter was Robert Toombs of Geor
gia appointed Secretary of State
—brilliant but unstable. He had
been nominated for the Presid
ency and had lost by one vote,
consequently he entered office
with a chip on his shoulder and
was in constant disagreement with
the President.
G. C. Meminger from South Caro-
lilna had every qualification for
Secretary of State but being op
posed to the issue of paper money
by the Congress, which was un
secured, he proposed a tax levy.
The Senate agreed to this, but the
House violently opposed and re
quested Meminger’s resignation.
Meminger was succeeded b y
George Trenholm of Charleston,
another fine business man but he
could find no measure to reverse
the finances of the Confederacy.
For Secretary of W r ar, the Pres
ident wanted to appoint Braxton
Bragg who had saved the day at
Buena Vista in the Mexican war,
but the friends of Leroy Pope
W r alker of Alabama were so per
sistent for his appointment that
the President yielded. Walker was
a lawyer with no military exper
ience; an ardent secessionist who
did not believe that there would
be a war. So sure was he of this
that, in campaigning for that
State to secede, he assured his
hearers that he would be able to
wipe up every drop of blood that
was shed with his h: r dkerchief.
Of the other three members of
the Cabinet, the President knew
their qualifications from previous
association with them. Stephen
Mallory had been Chief of Naval
Affairs in the U. S. government
when Mr. Davis was in the Senate.
Mallory was born in Connecticut
but had made his home in Florida
and cast his fortunes with the
Confederacy. As Secretary of the
Navy, he served efficiently and
faithfully.
John H. Regan, a T. an, had
served in the Senate wit the
President. He was given th '
Postmaster Generalship and sc
successfully did he manage that
there was never an annual deficit.
Regan was captured with Pres
ident Davis and imprisoned for
a long time in Ft. Warren, where
he spent his time writing his
memoirs.
The office of Attorney General
went to Judah P. Benjamin o f
Louisiana. He was born in the
West Indies of English - Jewish
parents, a Catholic convert mar
ried into a prominent French fam
ily. The President had implicit
faith in Benjamin who came to be
known as the “Brains of The
Confederacy” and who came to
be the President’s best advisor and
most loyal friend. The wife of
General James Chestnct, a bril
liant South Carolina women who
spent the four years of the war
just as close to civil and military
activities safely permitted, in her
“Diary” is lavish in her praise of
Benjamin’s personality and cap-
ibilities; but of Walker, she
seemed to have only contempt.
Following the program, visitors
were introduced and received a
hearty welcome: Mrs. Winn of
Due West, mother of Mrs. Louis
Floyd; Mrs. Frank Ashley, a
newcomer to Newberry; and Mrs.
Clifford Shull (Martha Nuel
Summer) of Lexing'ton, Mass.,
who has been a member of the
chapter for a long time but this
is the first time she has been in
Newberry on a chapter day.
Mrs. D. O. Carpenter reported
that papers had been cleared for
three new members and two of
these were present and presented:
Mrs. Walter Summer (Mary
Parr Baker) and Mrs. Benjamin
Buddin (Clara Layton). With Mrs.
GI Dividends
Are Being Paid
In Advance
The 1961 GI Insurance dividends
payments are now being made at
the rate of about one million a
week as the progi-am to assist the
President’s drive to aid the Na
tion’s economy gets into full
swing.
At this rate, the entire quarter-
billion dollars 1961 dividend pay
ments to 5,060,000 veteran-policy
holders should be vouched by the
Veterans Administration to the
Treasury Disbursing Offices by
March 19, Hugh H. Henderson,
Contact Officer of the VA Region
al Office, Columbia, said today.
Preparation and mailing of
checks by Treasury should be
completed within two to five days
of the receipt of VA date, Mr. Hen
derson added.
More than $106,000,000 of the
$258,500,000 in payments will go
to veterans living in 30 of the
country’s largest metropolitan
areas, including 15 areas listed by
vne U. S. Department of Labor as
“major areas of substantial labor
surplus” with unemployment run
ning 6 per cent or more.
Of those 30 metropolitan areas,
three are in the Southeast. Veter
ans of the Atlanta area are slated
to receive $1,281,900. In the Mi
ami area, $1,271,300 in payments
will be made and around New Or
leans GI policyholders will receive
$1,785,400.
South Carolina ex-service men
with active GI policies will receive
$2,638,500 in dividend payments
by the end of March. Normally,
these dividends are paid through
out the 12 months of the year, de
pending on the effective dates of
the policies, Mr. Henderson said.
To help the VA meet this step
ped-up payment deadline, Mr.
Henderson reminded veterans that
individual inquiries about their
dividends will only slow up their
payment and also that of thous
ands of others.

Food is always fun. And, between-meal eating can be a com
mon sense sort of pleasure, too. With a little thought, snacks
and goodies can be made a part of your daily food plan for health.
Candied Cherry Bread tastes just as good as it looks, even
plain,. If you prefer, you may spread it with butter or marga
rine or with softened cream cheese. In any case, you’re sure
of a generous contribution of needed nutrients — calcium,
niacin, riboflavin, thiamine and food iron.
You’ll like this easy-to-make recipe for Candied Cherry Bread.
It calls for self-rising flour which saves you time in measuring
because it already contains the needed baking powder and salt.
Self-rising flour insures failure-free results, too, because the
baking pow'der has been scientifically proportioned by the miller.
You can use self-rising flour to make biscuits, muffins, cakes,
cookies, quick coffee cakes, and other baked products in recipes
calling for baking powder. Just omit the baking powder and
salt from the recipe when you use self-rising flour.
CANDIED CHERRY BREAD
3 cups sifted enriched self- y s cup chopped nuts

J 2 cup sugar
1 cup chopped candied
cherries
1 egg, slightly beater.
14 cup salad oil
114 cups milk

best when completely cooled.
