Also, he declared, the hospital and
the State Training School at Clin
ton for mentally deficient children
need more money for employees,
who are overworked and underpaid, i
The constitutional changeJBymes
recommended would knock out a
Section directing the Assembly to
provide free public schopls “for
all children between the age's of six
and 21 years.’’
South Carolina’s segregated school
system is under attack in the Fed
eral Courts. A District Court has
held that segregation may continue
if facilities are equal. This decision
has been appealed to the U. S. ‘Su
preme Court.
If the Supreme Court holds seg
regation unconstitutional, Byrnes
explained, the section of the State
Constitution ordering schools for all
children “should be repealed’’ so
legislators could “determine by
statute future policy of thf State.’’
(The proposed change would have
to be submitted to voters in this
year’s general election.) .
Byrnes also renewed his endorse
ment of a pending resolution call
ing an election on a State consti
tutional convention. The resolution
has been adopted by the House and
is before the Senate.
Here are other recommendations
in Byrnes’ message..
There should T be no exemption
from the three-per cent general
sales tax that started last July 1,
“If you grant one exemption, you
will have to grant many.”
The legal'provision for State In
dustrial* Commissioners to represent
employers, employees and the pub
lic should be eliminated.

In a recent contest sponsored by
Newberry Dairies, Wilson Reeves
“Buddy” Williamson of Route 2,
Clinton, was winner of a boys’ bi
cycle.
The Dairies offered a pony as
grand prize to the boy or girl send

than budget recyuests.
The increases. "Byrnea explained,
