Several years ago within the South Carolina Educational Association was at sectional organization known as “Special Class Teachers.” Many times in the past have these groups met at the State Training School fori conferences. Gradually this little or- : ganization disappeared, most chil- 1 dren being taken care of in the reg- j ular classrooms. Something new is being developed. There is a concen-; tration again on ‘ special - ’ training' for all types of children, not only : those who are retarded but also those who are gifted and those who ! ■■ THERE’S NONE BETTER ! -ask your neighbor f For a downright excellent all purpose Flour good old ADLUH just can not be beat!

The National Crippled Children Society has done a great deal to orient people with a problem — the cerebral palsy victims who have too long been neglected and forced to grow up in ignorance. The officers of the Chapter are President, Mrs. T. Jackson Lowe, who is coordinator of cerebral palsy and program services for the Crippled Children Society and who also serves as state representative for the Coun cil; Vice-president, Norma E. Hallett, psychologist, State Training School; Secretary-Treasurer, J. S. Agnew, State director, hard of hearing and speech correction. A buffet luncheon was served to the guests and the girls and boys were presented in song and dance. 3,165 S. C. Stockholders In American Telephone And Telegraph Company i ^ The number of stockholders in the American Telephone and Tele graph company reached 1,000,000 today (May 15), Southern Bell Manager John C. Freeman, an nounced yesterday. As the 1,000,000th point was at tained there were 3,165 stockhold ers in South Carolina, owning 78,- 594 shares. ‘The Bell system is the only American business with such a democracy of ownership as to have 1,000,000 owners," Mr. Freeman pointed out. “The people in all walks of life who have invested in the Bell Telephone business, and thus become stockholders, live in 19,000 cities, towns and rural areas in the nation, including South Carolina. Mr. and Mrs. Brady Denton of Saginaw, Michigan, are joint own ers of the millionth certificate rep resenting stock. He is an automo bile salesman—typical of the aver age Bell system stockholders, who are farmers, business men, clergy men, merchants, teachers, widows . and other “hometown" folks. ^ Funds supplied by people who have invested in the Bell system, like the Dentons, have made it pos sible for Southern Bell to spend $43,000,000 for additional facilities in South Carolina between Janu ary 1, 1945, and March 31, 1951, Mr. Freeman said. Telephone service demands in South Carolina are on the increase, Mr. Freeman said, calling for large amounts of additional facilities yet to be installed. Funds for new facilities do not come from customers’ monthly payment of their bills, but must be raised in the form of new capi tal. Telephone earnings must be such as will attract the funds of people who have funds to invest, Mr. Freeman declared. “That is why it is essential that the tele phone company in South Carolina be financially strong, with ade quate earnings to do the job that the people of the state want done.” Cotton Classing Short Course Set for Clemson June 11 to July 6 Clemson, May 14. — A cotton classing short course will be held at Clemson during the period June 11-July 6. according to announce- , ment from Hugh M. Brown, dean, ■ Clemson School of Tevtiles. The , course is designed to give informa- ! tion and practical training in the proper classing of cotton the state’s leading cash crop. B. W. Walker, cotton grader and inspector .South Craolina Depart ment of Agriculture, Columbja will be the instructor. This will be the third year Mr. Walker has been in structor of such a class here. No advance registration for the course is necessary, but Dean' Brown has requested that those; who plan to take the course notify his office as early as convenient..! He suggests that those who attend under the provisions of the GI Bill should make necessary clearance with their local Veterans Admin-! istration office. The tuition for! the short course will be $25.00, and r6om and board will be available in the college dormitories and din-! ing room for those desiring them at a cost of $52.50 inmluding laun-; student will furnish his own lin-' dry and infirmary services. Each' ens, blankets, etc. The short course should prove helpful to growers, seed breeders,' ginners, cotton buyers and others concerned with the production and' marketing of cotton. Through the! use of improved varieties and methods of production, harvesting, and ginning, cotton growers in this, state are producing a high quality, j uniformly stapled cotton, and itSi proper classification is an import-j ant factor if growers are to get the, best prices and if the cotton is to get into proper market channels. • i. —t Miss Julia Spratt Passes In Asheville Miss Julia Spratt of Chester, died in Asheville, N.
