The award is made to a per son in private life, business or profession who has done out standing service to his fellow- man. Donald Layton, chairman of the club committee, made the presentation to Mr. Setzler de scribing him as an educator, humanitarian and churchman. Setzler was born Jan 6, 1906 at Newberry to Dr. and Mrs. E. B. Setzler and was educated in the public schools of New berry and received his Bache lor of Arts degree from New berry College in 1926. He stud ied at George Peabody Teach ers College where he received his Master of Arts degree in 1930. He taught in the Whit mire schools and was later su pervisor for high schools for the State Department of Edu cation. In 1933 he joined the faculty at Newberry College and has since taught in the field of natural sciences, particularly in chemistry and biology. He is married to Callie Mayre Thomas. They have two chil dren, Carol Harley and Hubert H. Setzler, Jr. In the presentation, Layton said of Setzler, “In addition to his effective teaching at New berry College where he endear ed himself to a number of stu dents who have passed through his classes during the 39 years of his teaching experience, he also held many committee duties at the college and for a number of years on occasion assisted with the coaching of the athletic teams. More late ly he was associated with Coach Harvey Kirkland mainly in the capacity of administrative work and physical therapy. “For a number of years, he has been active in the Luthe ran Church of the Redeemer, having taught Sunday School and served in many official capacities in his church.” Layton continued, “He is a quiet, unassuming person who has effected much influence upon those with whom he comes in contact especially the handicapped. He experimented and developed a formula for the effective relief of sinus pro blems and more lately has been active in physical therapy for stroke patients as well as arthritic patients. Most any evening you might find him busy in the training room at Newberry College gymnasium assisting with those physical problems, all of which has been done without compensation and fully out of his desire to re lieve the suffering of others. “He has also found time for his hobbies of fishing and hunt ing. He is an excellent out- doorsman, excelling in all these areas.” In making the presentation Layton said, “Hubert Setzler is a man who believes in keeping physically fit and assisting those who are less fortunate than he in this respect. “It is my understanding that he has stated his intent to re tire following the current aca demic year and hopefully he will continue to devote his time to his hobbies, his educational interest, and to the welfare of the citizenly of the community.” Newberry College recently ho nored Mr. Setzler by electing him Professor Emeritus of Newberry College.

Demos have two contests; filing time extended The Newberry County Execu tive Committee was called into special session Wednesday morning in the courtroom of the Newberry County Courthouse to decide what course to take after a restraining order was issued to extend the time for candidates for county offices. Judge John Grimball of the Fifth Judicial Circuit ordered the extension after suit was fil ed by Dr. Frank Harrison III of Richland County. C. A. Shealy, Jr., chairman of the Newberry County Demo cratic party presided at the short meeting. Invocation was given by Committeeman Dewey Kinard. Shealy said much confusion had been created by the change in closing dates by the court order. He said he had been in contact with the s,ute party on the matter and that state party leaders and their attor neys would seek to have the order set aside at the Satur day morning court session in Columbia. The group adopted a resolu tion to the opinion that the fil ing deadline should remain clos ed according to state election laws. They voted to accept con ditionally, candidates for coun ty offices until noon Saturday. The extension would allow for candidates to file for offices that no one filed for at the Monday deadline. It appeared from remarks made at the session that it would not be possible to hold the primary in June as sche duled. Until an approved reappor tionment plan is forthcoming, candidates for the House of Representatives and State Se nate are unable to file for of fice. This is one of the reasons cited for holding open the filing date for county offices by Har rison in his court proceedings. Since the Monday deadline two candidates have filed for county office.
