Columbia. Frankly, 1 can see no
other explanation.

as they are luring trade which
< ouldn t ht done ;n Newberry
ary wa y.
I am a strict t rade-at-homer
ruvseif. nut I am awa.e tliat there
are certain things not accessible in
N ew nerry.
hb.r instance, 1 believe we hare
doc tors in Newberry who a: t
capable of handling a: most any-
siu.ation - hut their lacilitic-s lor
seme types of work are limited, so
trey must send patients else
where. And it' a doctcr in Colum
bia can handle the situation then
]‘m all for Columbia.
You can't buy a live Maine lob
ster, and have it broiled to a turn
iii Newberry, but you can in Co
lombia—and 1 love Maine lobster!
You can't but Scout uniforms—
not for girls anyway—in Newber
ry, but you can in Columbia.
These are just a few examples
and there are perhaps many oth
ers. I do not begrudge Columbia
this trade, as long as our good
citizens see that local means are
exhausted before they take their
money out of town.
(Incidentally, my good critic
Dune Johnson says I shouldn’t
‘‘tell"’ people to do things. Wonder
if he objects to my telling them to
buy their farm machinery in
Newherry ? )
I don’t believe 1 have ever run
across a more friendly group of
people than the gentlemen from
Columbia gathered at the Country
Club last Thursday night. Their
charm and friendliness would en
tice almost anyone to come to Co
lumbia.
All present were asked to tell
what they liked about Columbia,
Newberry or the Midlands. I
think the best reply came from
Joe Pool, superintendent of the
Oakland Plant of the Kendall
Company. His remark: “I like Co
lumbia because it has a large popu
lation; the more people there r-re,
the more who get married; the
more w T ho get married, the more
babies—and we make diapers!”
We hope the folks from Colum
bia #ome back to visit us often,
now that they’ve found their way.
And w'hile it is unusual for visi
tor to be host, we express our ap
preciation again for the kind in
vitation to take part in the “Hi,
Neighbor” gathering which fol
lowed the Midlands Tour.

Guardsmen Training At Fort
Gordon Visited Last Friday
New Bank Man
Is From Sumter
A TRIP TO CAMP
Major General Frank D. Pinck
ney, the State Adjutant General
whose outstanding work as head
of National Guardsmen in South
Carolina led the state’s 51st Di
vision to its highest rating ever at
this year’s summer encampment,
was kind enough to invite me
again to visit the Newbeiry troops
training at Fort Gordon. Now the
General knows I have a special
interest in the South Carolina Na
tional Guard—and he also knows
I have a more special interest
when the 228th is training at Fort
Gordon, the latter interest being
one SFC R. F. Sanders.
Last year when I was invited
to take the trip, and was inform
ed that I was the only member of
the “opposite sex” ever to be in
vited on one of these tours, I was
a little apprehensive. I soon found
there was no need for apprehen
sion because I was certainly made
to feel at home—even to being put
in the messhall scraping carrots
(this, of course, for the benefit
of the photographers).
This year is was the same. Gen
eral Pinckney is a genial host,
and there is no finer person than
Col. Barringer Wingard, who
commands the 222^h; it is always
pleasant to see Col. McLeod, the
executive officer from down in
the low-country; on attached duty
with the unit last year and again
this year is Lt. Hedgepath of the
Chester Reporter, who sees that
pictures and news releases are put
out with a professional touch.
There are many other fine men in

Mental Health
Results Given
Announcement is made that $1,-

Health Bell-Ringer Campaign.
Luther Z. Barnett of Charleston,
in commending Professor Flavel
Scott Elliott, Sr., of Newberry, for
the promotional and educational
job he did as Newberry County
Chairman, says, “On behalf of the
Soutk Carolina Mental Health As
sociation, I wish to commend Prof.
Elliott for the splendid job he did
in organizing and promoting the
Mental Health Drive in Newberry
County this year. The State Asso
ciation also joins me in express
ing appreciation to the many in
terested individual volunteers who
assisted Mr. Elliott with the drive,
and to every individual who con
tributed.
“I am sure that the educational
benefits derived from this drive
were many, and that the people
of Newberry County are more in
formed about the Mental Health
program in the state and the needs
that exist in this field. The funds
raised in Newberry will help sup
port the program of the local,
state, and National Mental Health
Associations, and will be spent for
research, educational activities,
volunteer services, and aid in re
habilitation of discharged pa
tients.”
The Mental Health Bell-Ringer
Campaign was sponsored in New
berry County by the local Mental
Health Chapter, the president of
which is Mrs. Meredith Harmon
of Newberry.
