The fee was increased from $20
to $50 this year by the General

creased $1 on each class of
motor vehicles.

ed by mail from the Highway
Department's Columbia office.

shame. And tough new body

ter. New all-steel pickup

rior is roomier. Also, there’s

you can use it for almost

NEW YORK (CFN)—The New
York City Police Force recently
added a fleet of Italian-made
motor scooters in their crime
fight. They are used mainly in
paries where their sudden ap
pearance and ability to bounce
up and down steps or cut across
the grass has materially reduced
mugging attacks. They also help
police unsnarl traffic Jama. Each
scooter is equipped with a 2-
way radio for communicating
with headquarters. The New
York City Police Commissioner
voted the motor scooter “the
most effective police patrol tech
nique developed in recent years."
Facte About Crapes
Man has cultivated grapes since
before history began. Grape
seeds have been found in Bronze
Age remains of the Swiss lake
dwellings, and buried in the Pyr
amids with the Pharaohs. And
these seeds were much like the
seeds of modem grapes.
America actualiy got its first
nd"—because
name —**Vinlan_
of the abundance of wild
grapes found by Leif Ericson
in 1000 A.D. But grapes were
not actively cultivated in
America until after 1800.
Today, California leads as a
producer of “eating” grapes.
About 20% of all the world’s
table grapes are grown there.
Favorite for eating is the
white" grape known as
Thompson Seediest. But it
wouldn't exist at all except for
a lucky accident. 75 years ago,
a California farmer named
William Thompson found three
odd-iooking cuttings. Curious,
he planted them. One survived

berry, sweet in taste and with-

FIRST SIGHT
Welcome guests with a
cheerfully lighted house.
An easy-te-see address
sign Is a beacon of friend
liness, and post lanterns
near driveway or walk will
steer them clear to the
door. Wail-mounted lights
or a porch ceiling fixture
shed a warm glow of hos
pitality.
An attractl va entrance
way makes a lasting
first impression. Syl-
vanla suggests a cor
ner fluorescent fixture
shielded by vertical
baffles to blend with
the wall. A perforated
center panel makes
for even distribution
of the softly shaded
light.
A stairwell in tha main hall
way becomes ci showcase
of elegance, easily and in
expensively. Miniature 8-
watt fluorescent tubes on
the underside of the ban
nister, and 20-watt tubes
mounted under each tread
light the way softly, safely,
and impressively.
THE YOUNG-SOPHISTICATE LOOK. That’s
the sleek, aware manner of our newest Socialite .. •

The Woman’s Club of New
berry met at the home of Mrs.
Sydney Carter on September

ing in the absence of the pres
ident. The beautiful collect was

Mrs. Frank Ashley introduc
ed the speaker, Mrs. F. Scott
Elliott, who gave an . interest
ing and comprehensive discus
sion of Katherine Anne Por
ter, 1966 Pulitzer Prize winner
for Fiction.
She began by summarizing
a recorded interview between
Miss Porter and Roy Newquist
which appeared in “McCall”
magazine in August 1965. In
this, Miss Porter tells of her
background, her first publish
ed story and of her problems
in writing “Ship of. Fools”,
published in 1962, which was
taken over by the Book-of-the
Month club and became a best
seller, bringing . her fame and
financial success.
Miss Porter, who was born
at Indian Creek, Texas, May
15, 1890, now lives in a large
house in Washington, D. C.
She calls her home Stratford-
on-Avon of America.

Daniel Boone, set out on her
own to make her way in the
newspaper and magazine
world. She was a creative, com
pulsive writer but never
thought her writings good en
ough to be published until
Carl Van Doren asked per
mission to publish one of her
short stories, “ Maria Concep-
jcion.” She rewrote at 15 timea
and received $600 for it. Since
l then, she has consistently held
[ to a high level in her slender
! volumes of short stories, show
ing a mastery of technique,
honesty and expliratien of
human personality and of so
ciety itself.” She is known for
the symbolism which she in
jects into her stories which
Mrs. Elliott illustrated by
reading portions of “The Flow
ing Judas.” She also read part*
of “Maria Concepcion.”
Mrs. Blackwell thanked Mrs-
Elliott for her scholarly por-
i trayal of Katherine Anne Por
ter and her works.
The next meeting will be om
October 13 at the home of
Mrs. J. J. Chappell. Mrs Jas.
