Hickory Tavern-Poplar Springs Area The Hickory Tavern area is so closely related to, and dependent upon, the southwestern section of the county which borders on Greenwood county that the en tire area will be discussed simul taneously. ,This border area in cluded such schools as Brewerton, Mt. Gallagher. Poplar Springs and Mt. Olive, or brevity's sake this section will be referred to as the Poplar Springs area. Hickory Tavern is an excellent community and takes pride in its schools and all of its activities. However, this is another case where the school enrollment has increased but little in the past ten years. A look at Table 15 reveals that there were 341 enrolled in 1941-42 and only 359 in 1950-51. The spot map showing pre-school children also bears oat the fact that the potential growth for the next few years is not too great. The present two-story building which is xised for both school and residential purposes has—about served its usefulness It is unsafe and totally inadequate* for educa tional purposes. The newer one- story structure, with some repairs ahdT renovations','“can easily house the elementary enrollment for some time to -come.

(8) Curtailment of federal subsi dies to private enterprise. (9) A cooperative effort by all branches of the government to re duce federal spending and tax bur dens. In a letter accompanying copies of the proposals, General Manager John C. Floyd, said, “we believe the nine-point platform here pre sented will appeal to all conven tion delegates who stand for the improvement of our American so ciety of free men. The antithesis of these nine points would be the further concentration of economi- ic and political power in Washing- tion, the domination of the ederal bureaucracy over representative rule, and the gradual strangula tion of local self-government and the free market system.” Mrs. Williams Passes At Hospital Here Funeral services for Mrs. Hazel Spires Williams, 24, were held at 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon from the St. James Methodist church in Laurens with the Rev. J. A. Grigs by and the Rev. A. T. Green in charge. Burial followed in Rose- mont cemetery here.
