Music Club
To Sponsor
Essay Contest
The April meeting of Newber
ry Music Club was held at the
home of Dr. and Mrs. E. J. Dick-
ert. Associate hosts and hostesses
were Mr. and Mrs. Keitt Purcell
and Gus Houseal.
The president, Mrs. P. N. Ab
rams, presided and led the mem
bers in praying together the club
collect.
Mrs. Marvin Rucker introduced
the hymn of the month, “Crown
Him with Many Crowns” by Geo.
J. Elvey and related some inter
esting facts about the composer.
Members then sang the familiar
hymn.
During the bu iess meeting,
Mrs. Warren Cousins, Chairman
of National Music Week which is
May 7 through May 14, proposed
that the Newberry Music Club
sponsor an essay contest with the
co-operation of the local elemen
tary and junior high school teach
ers and the local radio station.
The club voted unanimously to do
^o. The theme of the contest will
be “What Music Means To Me.”
The judges will be Mrs. Cousins,
Miss Margaret Paysinger, and
Miss Carolyn Feis. Students in
the third through the fifth grades
at Speers Street, Mollohon, West
End, Oakland, and Boundary
Street Elementary Schools and
the sixth and seventh grades at
Junior High will be eligible to en
ter. The theme should be no more
than two hundred words in length.
Essays must be received by the
judges by May 3, 1961. The compo
sitions will be judged on the fol
lowing point system: Neatness,
10 points: content, 30 points; ori
ginality, 40 points; grammar, 10
points; and spelling, 10 points. A
grand prize of $5.00 will be award
ed from all essays submitted. A
first place prize of $1.00 will be
given for the best essay submitted
from each school participating.
Honorable mention will also be
chosen from each of the schools.
"Winning essays will be read by the
authors on a special radio program
over Radio Station WKDK during
National Music Week. It is hoped
that there will be a large number
of entries received.
Miss Margaret Paysinger an
nounced that the May meeting
would be in the form of a concert
featuring Owen Clary Jr., violin
ist, accompanied by Miss Eva Jane
Price at the piano. The club mem
bers decided to invite the public
to attend this concert on May 9 at
the Community Hall in celebra
tion of National Music Week.
Dates of the State convention to
be held in Spartanburg were an
nounced as May 4, 5, and 6. Mrs.
Abrams plans to attend and hopes
that other members will decide to
go.
Miss Elizabeth Fowler read a
newspaper article announcing that
the auditions for the South Caro
lina Historical Foundation Schol
arships would be held at 10:30 a.
m. May 13 at the Music Depart
ment of the University of South
Carolina. The article also said
that Miss Pam Pandolfi, violinist,
of Greenville had won the Helen
Bateman Award Scholarship which
provides $350 for summer study
at Transylvania Music Camp at
Brevard, N. C.
Miss Margaret Paysinger intro
duced Miss Loraine Paris, program
leader, whose topic was George
Gershwin.
Miss Paris began her program
by quoting Gershwin as follows:
“Music must repeat the thoughts
and aspirations of the people and
the times . . . my people are Am
erican; my time is today.” Then
she commented that no American
composer before Gershwin and
none since has reflected or inter
preted his times with such hon
esty, brilliance and originality.
Gershwin’s best known works
are probably his opera, “Porgy and
Bess,” a symphonic piece “Am
erican in Paris”, “Rhapsody in
Blue”, and a satirical musical
comedy “Of Thee I Sing” which
was the first musical comedy to
receive the Pulitzer prize.
Among his most frequently per
formed compositions are “Sum
mertime” and “The Man I Love”,
which Miss Teddie Jean Day of
Newberry College sang accom
panied by Miss Feis.
‘T’ve Got Plenty of Nothing”
was sung by Bill Fields accompan
ied by Mrs. Rucker.
Gershwin’s Second Prelude was
played by Miss Carolyn Feis as a
piano solo.
Mrs. Warren Cousins sang
“Swanee”, “Clap Yo Hands”, and
“Somebody Loves Me” accompan
ied by Mrs. Rucker. The members
of the music club joined Mrs. Cou
sins on the second chorus of these
three pieces.
At the close of the program,
Mrs. Rucker played softly “Love
Walked Right In” which was the
last tune that Gershwin compos
ed, and Miss Paris related that
Gershwin had said that he had
more melodies in his head than he
could write down in a lifetime. It
makes us wonder if those left un
written could have been even
greater than the ones we have to
day, she said.

FOR
BETTER
HEALTH
By C. A. DEAN, M. D.
(Q) “I have four young chil
dren who eat everything. They
are healthy but I often wonder
what I would do if one ever suf
fered with a belly ache. Are
there any rules you can suggest
for such cases?” ,
Mrs. A. O. N.
(A) It is best to keep children
with stomach aches at rest with
out solid foods. Check their tem
perature and don’t give a laxa
tive. You can usually wait a
few hours to see if anything
further will develop. If the pain
passes and there is no fever, the
child probably has nothing seri
ous. But if the pain persists,
and especially if it seems worse
in the lower right side of the
abdomen, have the child checked
by your doctor. Frequently there
is also nausea, vomiting and loss
of appetite.
Most important, remember not
to give laxatives in any form or
manner to a patient with ab
dominal pain. Laxatives may do
more harm in such cases, espe
cially if the pain is due to ap
pendicitis.
(Q) “Is there any medication
one can take to lose weight with
out dieting too?”
Mrs. M. B.
(A) There ii no known medi
cine that can be taken safely to
cause the loss of weight without
limiting food and caloric intake.
(Q) “Is there any distinction
between a malignant tumor and
a cancer? Is a malignancy the
same thing?”
Tj. S.
(A) These terms are synonym
ous.
(Q) “I heard it said that if you
have a stomach ulcer you won’t
have gallbladder disease. Is this
true?”
J. K. K.
(A) No, since it is passible to
have both illnesses together.
FOR AND ABOUT TEENAGERS
Isn't A Girl of 19 'Old
By C. D. Smith
-' 7. - ,
THE WEEK’S LETTER: “I am
19. Even though I feel that I cm
no different from other young
girls, my parents don’t agree.
They won’t let me go out during
weekends, at any time. I have
completed 12 years of schooling.
And during my years in school I
couldn’t go to any school activities
alone with my friends. Then I
could understand my parents.
Now, I can’t, because I am ... 19.
They still refuse to let me go out
and be back at a certain time. I
want to go off and work as my
other classmates and they refuse
that. What can I do? I am young
and I want to go and be among
other young people. I see no harm,
but my parents seem to. Could you
help me or give me some advice?”
OUR ANSWER: A girl of 19
should be with young peo
ple and should be allowed to
have dates and to work—and to
learn to stand on her own two feet
in the world. Thjs writer well
remembers a psychology profes
sor who had a favorite saying:
“Some parents feel they can raise
their children in a'bureau drawer,
hidden from the world, until they
are 21 and then throw them out
into the street and say ‘Now you
are big enough and old enough to
take care of yourself.’ ” As a col
lege freshman, I laughed at this
professor’s -“joke”; as I grow
older, I realize that there is much
truth and very little humbr hi
what he was saying. :
Whatever their motive, parents
are seriotufy utfMtg when they
refuse to rdease+sr even loosen
the apron strings that bind their
children as the years go by;
when they refuse to realise that,
their children must grow up and
make some place for themselves
in this world. It is often, as has
been said, “a cruel world”—but
it to crudest to those who are
W-prepared, who have been
shielded from the world, as if
they really didn’t belong in it.
The best advice we can give to
this week’s letter writer 'is this:
Reason with your parents, if you
can. Convince them that you are
coming of age, with a will and a
mind of your own. Let them know
that you have to make your own
place in the world and that sooner
or later you must stand on your
own two feet and make decisions
for yourself. And . . . sooner or

This iron lung is now empty—for a change. How long it and thousands of others remain
empty depends upon how soon the entire nation is fully vaccinated against polio.
Almost half the U. S. pop
ulation is unguarded against
crippling polio.
Basil O’Connor, president of
The National Foundation, has
described the vulnerability of
some 85 million .Americans to
paralytic polio as “a national
disgrace.”
There is no scarcity of the
Salk vaccine, he pointed out,
and two inoculations now,
within a month’s time, would
provide at least some measure
of protection against polio out
breaks and epidemics in the
summer.
In thousands of cities, vil
lages and hamlets across the
nation, Salk polio vaccination
is available at little cost, and
in some communities the pre
scribed series of at least three
shots is free. A fourth “boost
er” shot is now recommended.
“The individual’s common
sense and will to survive
should dictate immediate vac
cination,” Mr. O’Connor said.
“If he or she has a family, ali
the more urgent ground for
polio protection.” -
