There's an old saying "cheaper by the dozen" ? but Vandy will readily say this doesn't apply to education. This year, he had three children in college?next year there will be four, and possibly five. I Fallaw, who has been employed by Clinton Mills since 1946, has two sons and a daughter at Presbyterian College. Paul, 22, and his brother, Grady, 29, will graduate from PC this spring.

All of them have had to work their way through school. Paul, who has worked part time for CM for several years, devotes much of his time to extra curricular activities. He did his practice teaching at Thornwell last semester; this semester he is teaching senior math on a voluntary basis. Recently he was named a deacon at Bethany Presbyterian Church. Judy works part time at J. C. Thomas Jewelry. Mathematics comes natural for the Fallaw family. Grady has been on the Deans List every semester; Paul, the last three. Judy has a "B" average at PC. Paul has won numerous honors. He received the Neil G. Whitelaw Physics Scholarship, the Founder's Scholarship, and the Jean Kimberlv Mathematics Award, in addition to the Bailey Scholarship. 11....i a r-" 1.. ',.,.11 u?

Vandy's daughter, Edith is a senior at Clinton High and will enter Clemson in the fall. A granddaughter, Linda Weeks, who lives with him is undecided about college. Vandy has five other children? Henry, Charles, and Helen all Clinton High graduates; Betty who lives in New York; and Debbie, in the 10th grade. The Fallaws attribute their education to their mother, who is a textile employee. "She's the real pusher behind us," stated Grady. The boys get their mathematical knowledge from their father. He knows figures well, although he never finished but the 4th grade. "I stayed in the first grade four years; the second, three years, and I don't know about the rest?but I quit at fifteen and went to work," said Fallaw. "No one knows how it feels to know that your children have the desire to get all the education they can," stated Vandy. / / \ ?. David Gaskins is shown holding an unusually large egg which his pet chicken layed. The story is an odd one. At Easter time David hatched a chicken in a home incubator as a science project. Just prior to its hatching. David's father, Glenn Gaskins, injected the shell with cake coloring and the egg hatched, producing a colored chicken. Then David gave the chicken to Ernest and Lillian Davis. Recently Mrs. Davis brought David the egg which the chicken had layed?it measured 7" around and over 4" long.
