The management of the
Drive-In Theatre has de
manded of the Sheriff’s of
fice that warrants be is
sued against ,two of the
city’s theatres for operating
what is generally known as
“cash nights” and against
all places operating in the
county and city and selling
merchandise of any sort on
Sunday.
“We are going to bring
this thing to a head” said
the Drive-In management.
“If is is wrong for us to
operate on Sunday it is
also wrong for others and
we want only fair treat
ment.”
A magistrate’s jury dis
agreed on the guilt of the
theatre in a trial here this
week, standing three to
three.
The Drive - In manage
ment blames the Ministerial
Association of the City for
the action taken against it.
The Association has been
relentless in its prosecution
of the case and the owners
are just as determined.
Some of our politicians
have their tails in a crack

pose of two meters, and elimi
nating the necessity for putting

The decision to install traffic
meters in Newberry is the re
sult of extensive discussion and
