I^jGHT WEIGHT—A woman's idea of traveling' lights is to have her hus- bank carry all the suitcases. t j BRAIN WASHED—The human brain is a wonderful organ. It starts work ing the day you are born and never stops until you’re called upon to make a speech. VOLUME 29 — NUMBER 39. NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1906 $2.00 Per Year BY THE WAY miscellaneous Items of more or less inter est : If your doctor tells you you are suffering from coryza and there is nothing he can do to cure it, don’t get excited—you just have the same thing most of us do—a common head cold. Highway Department safety tip for the week: don t be a “peephole” driver. Diiving with ice or frost on windows is illegal as well as dangerous, the Department says. Our local savings bond chair man, Joe Roberts is optimistic enough to think that some of us may be getting income tax refunds. He advises that that refund money may be used to buy U. S. Savings Bonds. All you need do is check the ap propriate space on your income tax form and Uncle Sam will do the rest. Speaking of Joe Roberts I haven’t yet acknowledged his gift of some months back. 1 had written in this column that my supply of “writing pens was running low—he w'as kind enough to send down tw r o very nice ones w T hich I keep hidden from the children for my espec ial use. Now that it’s State Bank & Trust, if the Senior Vice President has a handful of those old County Bank pens that he doesn’t know what to do with I’ll give him a clue. For me, they write just fine, no matter WHAT is printed on the side! The Greenwood Social Sec urity office will be open to the public each Saturday from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. Seems the Social Security folks have their hands full trying to get everybody enrolled in the so- called “Medicare” and overtime work is necessary if all eligible persons are enrolled by the deadline, March 31. So—if you despair of seeing the Social Security man when he comes to New r berry ,you can run over to Greenwood on Saturday mornings (or any other time during the week) and get your Social Security problems solv ed. The Internal Revenue Service was kind enough this year to print the state sales tax table in the income tax form so those of us who itemize deductions will have some idea of how much that 3 per cent sales tax costs us each year. Just rem ember if you use the table, it does not take into considera tion sales tax on purchase of a large item, such as an auto mobile. You may add tax on such a purchase to the amount shown in the table. The Southeastern Catholic Liturgical Congress will be held in Charlotte on January 27-29, This is an especially significant conference, which will be de voted to lectures and demon strations of new liturgical changes approved during the recent Vatican II Council in Rome. Many changes, including increased congregational sing ing, use of English, and great er participation by the laity in the mass, have already been implemented throughout the United States, but further changes are to be introduced on March 27. By DORIS A. SANDERS where he is, working w i t h young people* at the Univeo- ity. I w’as even more convinced that he is in the right place when I read of some of his ac tivities in the “Education Re port” published by School of Education at the 1 niversity. Among groups he has address ed since September an* the Cayce Civitan (dub; a State meeting of youth leaders spon sored by Civil Defense; Junior Chamber of Commerce orienta tion program for teachers in Columbia; Irmo PTA; Physical Education Student Teachers at the University of Georgia (they REALLY need conserv ative speakers down there) ; Kappa Sigma Kappa, Univer sity; Gaston County Industrial Management Club, Gastonia, N. C.; MOTI Foundation Com munity Education Workshop, Flint, Mich.; American Medical Association, Philadelphia (on the “Medical Aspects of Sports”.) He has been elected faculty advisor to Kappa Sig ma Kappa, Honorary Service Fraternity at the University. As long as Dr. Giese contin ues his travels around the country, making speeches of the calibre he did here last week, he can probably do much more good for the future of this country than he could oc cupying a seat in the Congress. What a pleasure it would be to see more University profes sors like this one. State Jersey club will meet in city Staff changes are announced Five changes have been made in the secretarial staff at New’- berry college. Mrs. Rosemary Small has as sumed duties as secretary to the president, Dr. A. G. D. Wiles. She replaces Mrs. Blanche Dickert who retired to do part-time work for the fac ulty. Other new r staff members are Mrs. Jonelle P. Rinehart, sec retary to B. O. Long, vice pres ident for financial affairs; Mrs. Shirley Miller, secretary to L. C.

Mrs. Padgett replaces Mrs. Ronald A. Oswald who resign ed. Mrs. Small was secretary to Mr. Graham before becom ing secretary to Dr. Wiles. loan. be helped kv Radio Day At the last meeting of the Rotary Club of Newberry, club members received an interest ing report on plans for Rotary Radio Day, Tuesday, January 25. Co-Chairman Bill Kibler and Scott Johnson, of the Advertis ing Sales Committee, reported an increasing interest in the idea and, while no goal has been set, they predict that funds from this source, which will be used for the benefit of Troop No. 1, Boy Scouts of America and the Rotary Student Loan Fund, will be of much aid in the furtherance of these causes. One citizen of Newberry paid quite a tribute to the work of the Student Loan Fund stating that he had had a desire for college training but that since there were no family funds available he began to call on various business firms asking for “a job.” The doors of a similar loan fund opened for him and provided funds for his first two college years after which, through a scholarship and through student employ ment, he was able to complete the college course w’hich pre pared him for a successful business life. Without the aid of the loan fund in his fresh man and sophomore years he would not have had the benefits of college ti-aining and it is possible that he would still be “Asking for a job.” The records of the Rotary Student Loan Fund, in operation over a per iod of years, will also show in stances of successful careers because these funds were avail able to w’orthy students and with the unavoidable increase in educational costs of today such funds become even more vital in the education of our youth. Rotarian C. M. Smith, Chair man of the talent committee for Rotary Radio Day, reports that this idea has developed a com munity spirit in that Newber ry College organizations, the various city schools, as well as individual citizens, are giving of their talents toward making the radio program for that day unique. Sons and daughters of Rotarians will share in the pro grams and keeping radios “turned on” throughout the day may reveal much ur known tal ent in our own community.

REFRESHING Refreshing is the most des criptive adjective I can think of to describe the address giv en by Dr. Warren Giese at the Boosters Club football banquet last week. One hears and reads so much of the liberalism, leftism, even communism among university professors that it is like a cool ^P*eeze on a summer day to hear a professor, with an earn ed doctorate, from the College of Education of the University of South Carolina, speak of things like patriotism, individ ual responsibility, and individ ual enterprise. My first thought was “we should immediately draft this man” to run for the United States Senate (NOT against Thurmond) but on second thought, he is probably doing jnore good fpr the country right South Carolina’s First Lady, Mrs. Robert McNair, was guest of honor at the Kick-off coffee party for the March of Dimes, at the home of Mrs. Richard L.
