LOUISE BAKER RECEIVES WISE
OWL’S PICTURE ELSIE
WALTZ WINS 50c PRIZE.
By “THE SUNSHINE LADY.”
“Have you chosen the name for
your club yet, Wise Owl?” I asked
him last night. He had been looking
over the list of names which had been
suggested by the boys and girls, and
I was curious to know to whom he
was going to give his picture that he
promised for the name which he lik
ed best.
“Yes,” he said, blinking wisely at
me, “I have decided to call it the
“Boys’ and Giris’ Sunshine Club.”
The name was suggested by Louise
Baker and you may send the picture
to her.”
Louise is also the first person to
win membership in the club, having
Written her fourth letter to us this
week. Her membership certificate
will be mailed to her. Who will be
the next members ?
Next week we would like to have
you write us letters about “Thanks
giving Day.” You may tell about the
history or meaning of this holiday, or
what you yourself did on that day.
The boy or girl, 12 years old or un
der, from whom we receive the best
letter, will be given a prize of 50
cents by The Summerville News.
“Thanksgiving Day” letters must be
in The News office by noon, Friday,
Dec. 4.
Elsie Waltz Wins Prize.
Here is this week’s prize-winning
letter. It was written by Elsie Waltz,
our little friend in Gaylesville, Ala.,
who wrote to us some time ago about
her pets:
Gaylesville, Ala., Nov. 15, 1936.
Dear Mrs. Sunshine Lady:
I like to play outdoors because it
is more healthy to be out in the air.
I have more room outdoors. I can
play more games. I can climb trees
and pick up scaly barks, crack wal
nuts and jump the rope; and I have
my playhouse outdoors. That is the
test thing about playing outdoors —I
can play in my playhouse.
I can ride in my wagon outdoors, I
and it is so much nicer to play out
doors.
Another resaon why I like to play [
outdoors is that mother has me be
quiet indoors. I enjoy playing out in
the sunshine. ELSIE WALTZ.
Honorable mention for other good
letters which we received this week |
goes to Louise Baker, of Atco, and J. i
W. Waltz, of Gaylesville. J. W. is
Elsie’s brother, and we were pleased j
to hear from him too. We hope that i
both he and Elsie will continue rit- I
ing to us and become members of
the Boys’ and Girls’ Sunshine club.
Your prize will be mailed to you, i
Elsie.
And now let’s listen to the Wise
Old Owl’s story about “Princess Sap
hirs Gown of Moonbeams.”
While the fairies slept in the little
blue flowers the guards whom they
had left to watch their treasures hid I
behind the rocks, beneath which were s
the moonbeams they had gathered to
make a gown for Princess Saphir
who was coming to be their leader.
“Who could have taken our moon
beams yesterday ? ” they ask :d each
other. But no one could guess.
Soon they heard someone coming.
Peering around a rock they saw a
band of gnomes all dressed in brown
and green. These gnomes were com- j
ing from the crotons which grew near |
the blue flowers. They were lively ■
little people, and some of them were i
turning somersaults and playing leap I
frog as they ran toward the rocks.
The leaders of the band started to
move a small rock and open the cave |
where the moonbeams were hidden. |
But the fairy guards came out to j
meet tflem.
“So you are the ones who took our
moonbeams, are you?” one of the i
fairies asked. But the gnomes onlyl
laughed and started to run away.
“Wait, wait,” the fairies called.:
“Tell us where our moonbeams are. ,
We want them to make a gown for
our princess.”
“You will never find them,” one of
the gnomes called back as he ran, and
the others laughed as if they thought
it a joke. They quickly disappeared
into their homes among the crotons.
The fairies guarded their treasures
until evening when the rest of the
fairy band awoke. They told them
what had happened, and though they
were sad to know that their neighbors
had taken their moonbeams, they
Could not stop to search for them now
for there was much work to be done
before Princess Saphir arrived.
So part of them began sewing flo
wer petals together to make a gown
for the princess, while others built
her a throne out of tiny colored
stones. Some gathered star dust and
made her a shining golden crown.
Next week the Wise Old Owl will
tell us about the coming of Princess
Saphir.

BACK SEAT DRIVER
TURNS UP MISSING
Park Visitor Faces Embarrass
ing Situation.
Yellowstone Park.—The gentleman
from Indiana was visiting Yellow
stone national park with his wife, a
young son, and younger daughter.
After touring the entire loop of the
park in his private automobile, he
found himself at 8:30 p. m. at Yel
lowstone canyon with 42 miles be
tween him and his destination for
that night at West Yellowstone,
Montana, western gateway of the
park.
Wife and daughter expressed
themselves as desirous of a nap
enroute the 42 miles between the
two points. They bundled themselves
well into blankets and pillows, while
the father and son were to pilot the
family car.
Less than a mile from the canyon
the two male members of the party
found something of interest along
the roadway, stepped out of the car
to explore, and returned to continue
the journey with just a look at the
pile of blankets in the rear seat to
j assure them that all was well with
the women folks.
At the West Yellowstone gateway,
the ranger politely stepped up with
the routine question: “May I see
your permit, please?”
The driver did not answer. Instead
he took a quick glance to the rear
seat, and exploded: “It can’t be!
, This couldn’t happen to me! It sim
ply can’t be!”
“May I see your permit, please?”
pressed the ranger, unaware of any
difficulty.
“It’s simply not true,” continued
the driver without answering the
ranger. “Nothing like this could hap
pen to me. She’s got the permit.”
“If you’ll pardon me, I don’t un
derstand,” the ranger came back.
Then followed the tale of the miss
ing daughter and mother who held
the park entry permit. Telephone
conversations between the ranger
and another at Canyon solved the
difficulty. Mother and daughter had
awakened when the two in the front
seat had gone out to explore. They,
too, decided to look around; but did
not get back in time to continue
the journey.
“That gentleman doesn’t know
what a jewel of a wife he’s got,” is
the way Frank Oberhansley, dis
trict ranger at West Yellowstone
sums it up. “Any man who can
drive 42 miles without knowing
whether or not the backseat driver
is with him ought to keep a close
eye on his precious companion.”

TRADITIONAL FOES
MEET TURKEY DAY
INDIANS AND TRION BULLDOGS,
BITTER RIVALS, CLASH
ON THURSDAY.
' By WILLIAM CLEGHORN.
Summerville will turn out in large
crowds today to view the annual game
with the Trion Bulldogs. The contest
will start at 2:30 and will be held at
Trion. The admission fee will be
small, considering the enthusiasm
over the game. The prices are 15 cents
for children and 35 cents for adults.
Coach Boney’s team has really ac
complished wonders this year. After
losing the first four games, they came
out and won four and lost two more.
He had very little material and only
five lettermen to work with. They
have developed into a smooth-working
team and have a very good one wow.
Although Trion has lost but one
game, they have played a very light
schedule. But the Bulldogs have
beaten two teams that beat the In
dians. They have the weight and that
helps plenty. It will be an exception
ally good game and everyone should
come out and see it. And keep down
the fights.
BUSINESS BOOM
APPROACHES ’29
IN MAGNITUDE
NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—Business
in the United States is moving along
at such a fine clip 1936 may go down
in the records as “runner up” to the
boom year of 1929.
For example, it was estimated to
day by an official of the National In
dustrial Conference board that the
1936 sales of automobiles will total
4,600,000, compared with 5,622,000
for 1929. Sales this year will be ap
proximately as high as any year with
the exception of 1929.
In other lines—such as steel, rail
roads, construction, advertising, pub
lishing and finance—business is also
good. Stock exchange prices are up.
Wages are rising. Purchasing power
is broadening. Unemployment is be
ing reduced.
How much further the recovery
movement wall extend it is impossible
for business leaders to accurately
'orecast, chiefly because of political
'actors at present unknown. But the
Authoritative Standard Statistics
Company, Inc., says:
To Continue, Belief.
“Tentatively, we are of the opinion
.hat the recovery movement now un
’er way will carry along throughou"
he greater portion of 1937, and that
t cculd readily run for several more
ears, barring such unexpected de
elopments as wars, major changes in
ur basic system of capitalistic econ
omy, major labor troubles, etc.”
Cotton Ginnings.
Census report shows that there
were 6,710 bales of cotton ginned in
Chattocga county from the crop of
1936, prior to Nov. 14, as compared
with 5,976 bales ginned to Nov. 14
crop of 1935, according to Mrs. Rosa
N. Shumate, special agent.
RECOVERY PARTIAL.
The recovery movement promises to
continue for months to come but ex
perts point out that it is mainly a
consumer-goods recovery. Still oper
ating below level and credited with
accounting for most of our unemploy
ment are three units of the business
machine, namely, construction, the
making of capital goods, and export
trade.

BRITISH LINER IS
NEW SPEED CHAMP
Queen Mary Beats Record of
Normandie.
New York.— Establishing herself
as the speed champion of the At
lantic, the Cunard-White Star liner
Queen Mary set a new record with
an elapsed time of four days seven
hours and twelve minutes for the
voyage from Cherbourg.
The Queen Mary’s average speed
was 30.01 knots, it was announced
by the Cunard-White Star offices.
This exceeded by .35 knot the pre
vious mark of 29.64 knots set by the
French liner Normandie, the pre
vious holder of the blue pennant
that is the badge of Atlantic speed
supremacy.
The time was one hour, twenty
five minutes faster than the best
previous westward crossing.
The previous elapsed time mark
was four days, eight hours and thir
ty-seven minutes, set by the Queen
Mary in a voyage which ended last
July 26.
Before her arrival the Queen
Mary had radioed that she had
passed Nantucket lightship at 4:48
p. m. with an average speed to that
point of 30.08 knots. Fog and un
favorable weather conditions re
duced this average somewhat be
fore the ship reached Ambrose:
light, which is the official terminus
of the westbound voyage. The start'
of this run is Cherbourg break
water.
After passing Ambrose, the Queen
Mary continued on to Quarantine,
where she dropped anchor to lay
till morning.
Passengers keenly interested in
whether the huge British liner
would establish a new speed mark,
were following the rises and falls in
the average speed with as much
interest as the officers, Purser
Charles Johnson declared. Johnson
said the weather had not been
“really good” at any stage of the
crossing.
At 8 p. m. a broadcast from the
liner declared that a pea-soup fog
continued, but that Capt. Sir Edgar
Britten was driving his ship for
ward, with every confidence of sur
passing the speed average of the
Normandie.
Neither the Cunard - White Star
line nor the ship’s officers made
any claim to the speed pennant at
the end of the Queen Mary’s voyage
of May 26, when she made the
crossing in the shortest “elapsed
time.” Instead they pointed out
that the average speed of the Queen
Mary was slightly lower than the
figure set by the Normandie. The
French liner’s average, set in June !
of 1935, was over a longer route
from Southampton to Ambrose
light.
The Normandie therefore con
tinued as the holder of the blue
pennant, which had been won from
the previous holder, the Italian
liner Rex. Before the Rex the title
holder had been the Cunard-White
Star liner Mauretania, whose mark
of 26.06, set in 1910, remained un
broken until the Rex steamed at an
average of 28.92 knots in a passage
from Gibraltar to Ambrose in
August, 1933.

Land Planes Proposed
to Link Pacific Isles
Honolulu.—Fast land planes, in
stead of heavier and slower sea
planes may be used on America's
proposed new air route from Hono
lulu to New Zealand and Australia,
according to William T. Miller, sup
erintendent of airways of the De
partment of Commerce.
Miller said there were two speci
fic reasons why land planes rather
than sea planes might be used on
the new 5,000-mile route to the Anti
podes. These were:
The islands already have landing
areas that could be used.
Water surrounding the islands is
too rough for seaplanes to make a
safe landing and tie up for refueling
and inspection.
The government plans to level off
the areas and prepare them for
landing fields.
“Even in their present condition.”
Miller asserted, “I would not hesi
tate to land a plane on any one of
the three islands. The possible land
ing fields are a mile long, facing di
rectly into the prevailing winds, and
are sufficiently wide for all pur
poses.”
Cashes SI,OOO Award
for 28-Year-Old Deed
Laredo, Texas.—An investment in
courage made twenty-eight years
ago in saving a young woman from
a runaway has been cashed by John
W. Freeman, itinerant scissors
grinder.
He has just claimed a SI,OOO
award made at the time of the
rescue by the Carnegie Hero Fund
Commission and has bought an
acreage and built a modest home.
The award was made after Free
man, at Fort Smith, Ark., grabbed
the runaway horse before it could
do much injury to Miss Johnnie
Porter, seventeen-year-old daughter
of a prominent business man, who
was being dragged behind her over
turned carriage. Freeman himself
was stunned.*
On the report of Fort Smith resi
dents, the Carnegie Commission
awarded him a hero medal and
SI,OOO but Freeman said:
“Gentlemen, I want you to keep
that money and give it to me when
I get older and need it.”
Wise men and women seek
the arguments of those with
whom they disagree.
ISLAND AIR BASES.
Officially announced as aids to
commercial planes, army engineers
have recommended the construction
of seaplane bases at Wake Island and
at Midway Island. The development
of Guam is also expected. Chairman
Mcßeynolds, of the house foreign

bases are “far too small for military
use,” but disp’atches from Japan in
