Nedcand-Nedraace h Contest Final Rounds A week end a half before the end of The Clinton Chronicle cir culation contest, there Is little to choose between the chance of four top contenders for the brand new 1963 Rambler Classic station wagon first prize purchased from Lynn Cooper, Inc., or the $750.00 cash second prize. J. M. Petdand, who has rs- Distribution of cash commis sions and bonuses U contestants topped a thousand dollars this week while, in addition, all but one of eight weekly prizes have been distributed including a mo vie camera, groceries, gasoline, savings account, wrist watch, Victorian table , electric blanket to contestants who still have a mained in fourth pUce throufh- * 'J* * iI out most of the contest, vaulted last week into a virtual tie for first place with Mrs. W. O. (Mary) Holland, whose lead at the last tabulation were less than the votes contained in e single four-year subscription. Contest managers emphasized at this point that none of the contestants are employes of The Clinton Chronicle because the rules specifically exclude em ployees of the newspaper or members of their families who live under the same roof. NARROW MARGIN The tabulation elsewhere in this issue of The Chronicle shows changes in the standings but with such narrow margins among the top four that this could be revers ed again in a day's time. Mrs. O. K. Snelgrove, who has persistently held to third (dace in the standings almost since the beginning of the contest, captur ed her third weekly prize last week with sale of new subscrip tions to receive the 17-jewel Mar- grand prizes topped by the “Prin cess Snow White” station wagon which sits at Lynn Cooper, Inc., ready for the winner to take the keys next week and drive away wKh all takes paid, including 1963 license plates. The final report day at The Clinton Chronicle for all con testants will be Monday, next week, and subscriptions received after that will be placed in the ballot box to be counted by judg es who will be announced next lard Boland, jeweler, after having already won the electric blanket offered by T. E. Jones and Sons and the $25.00 savings account offered by M. 8. Bailey and Son, banters. Mrs. Clyde Trammell, a per sistent holder of second place for several weeks, captured the mar ble topped mahogany Victorian table offered by Lawson Furni ture Go., of Joanna, with sale of new subscriptions and came out in fourth place in the standings but by such a narrow margin that only a few subscriptions sep arates her from jhe top. PRIZE THIS WEEK The prize this week for sale of new subscriptions will be a plat form rocker offered by Maxwell Bros., furniture, and this will be the final weekly prize as none will be awarded from contents of the ballot box which will bo opened Friday, next week, and the votes counted to the six grand prize winners. With the finish line only days away it would be a wild guess between four top contenders though not impossible that Mr. Penland s three-place jump last week may be repeated by some other "dark horse" far down the list who could poaeibly pass the field.

Presbyterian College today posted another $88,975 towards claiming the $150,000 Richardson Foundation grant and completing its record $1,800,000 development campaign. The latest report from Presby terian churches of the South Carolina Synod—adding $88,975 to previous subscriptions — brought the total secured so far this year to $1,380,442.23. Presbyterian College needs to increase this amount to $1,650,000 in the weeks ahead to qualify for the challenge grant offered by the Richardson Foundation of New York City.

Presbyterian Church leaders throughout the state have been making renewed efforts this fall to bring to a successful conclus ion the campaign begun last spring. Reports from all Presby teries indicate that funds for PC are coming in steadily through church and individual gifts. Other special reports from over the state are scheduled for each Mon day between now and December 17.

SEWER ENLARGEMENT Council directed the city at torney to proceed with prelim inary steps to acquire the neces sary property for the construe- tton of a sewer lagoon to serve the large and growing south eastern section of the city. It will be recalled that the city constructed a lagoon in the soutb- weetern section about two years ago. This facility Is now per forming acceptably and solved a long-standing problem. The southeastern section Is now rved by a system that crosses town under the railroads and empties into an outfall in the northeastern section. The system has proved inadequate and un satisfactory, city officials state. Many newer homes in that area have had to be served by septic nte. They will be connected to • new sewer line to be built to the proposed lagoon. Preliminary surveys and esti mates have been made, it wsa stated, and work is expected to begin in the spring.
