WHITTEN FROM IHF HEARTLAND QF Af.TRiCA THE PAUL HARVEY NEWS MON TO IMS PM NETWORK WPCC Radio 1410 Ray Pillow Heads Second Moose Show Here On August 28 Grand Ole Opry singer Ray Pillow headlines the second Clinton Moose Lodge Number 739 country music show at the National Guard Armory at 8:00 p. nv, Saturday. August 28. Pillow highlights a show which will also include the rising new voice in country music. Miss Elaine Woods, and the Carolina Boys, headed by James Press- ley. Ray Pillow is a name country music fans are hearing more and more about. His talent and personality make the handsome young Virginian one of the most promising artists to hit Nash ville in many years. When asked how he happened to become a singer the young 1 man exclaims, "I almost didn’t!” He goes on to explain how he spent four years in the Navy and four years in college before he finally decided to pur sue a career in music. Ray’s first two hits on the Capital Records label were rat ed in the top fifty country songs in all the national trade maga zines. A country ballad entitled “Left Out’’ got things going for him. and then “Take Your Hands Of£ My Heart” really brought him to the attention of country music fans across the country. His current release is a Hank Cochran ballad, “A Long Way Home’’; and with a combination of Hank and Ray it has become a winner. The, success of his single re leases has prompted the label to cut his first album; a combina tion of his songs, some new ones, and many hits of other ar tists. Ray appears weekly on “Mar tha White Biscuit Time,’* a ra dio program broadcast from Nashville and on the Flatt and Scruggs television program car ried on WFBC-TV in Greenville each Saturday night.

Clinton optometrists are again participating in the screening program. (Continued from page 1) learning of Dr. Whitten’s resig nation : “No man in South Carolina's history has devoted so much of himself to serving those unfor tunate people who are afflicted by mental illness or retardation. “For this dedication to this important work, he deserves the deep and abiding gratitude of all South Carolinaians who are concerned with the health and welfare of their fellow man.”. Dr. Whitten recalls that at the I outset “I very much wanted to develop a place that would not be looked upon just as a state institution but a little commun- ' ity . . . a place where people could come and go without pre judice, curiosity or condescen sion.” j Through the years Dr. Whitten has developed a protective pa ternalism towards his young charges. In his dealings with the news media Dr. Whitten has waged an unceasing campaign to eli minate from usage such terms as “feeble-minded” and mental ly retarded” which be considers are barriers to the adjustment of handicapped persons. He has worked on at Whitten Village at considerable financial sacrifice to himself. Utah once tried to lure him away at a high er salary but he decided to stay in South Carolina. He had been granted a leave of absence to go to Utah to establish a similar institution for that state. In recent years Dr. Whitten has made other financial sac rifices so experienced medi cal personnel might be hired within the state’s tight budget ary restrictions, “I hope to render still some worthwhile service to my life’s work,” said Dr. Whitten who at 79 is alert and straight. “But I give up my official re sponsibilities with a felling of satisfaction in the dignity of the work . . . “There was reward enough,” he added, “in the expressions of appreciation I Have had from peop'jrwhose lives I have helped to make easier.” Dr. Whitten, a native of Pend leton. received his medical de gree from Emory University, At lanta. Since coming to Clinton in 1918, he has taken his place in com munity activities, being a mem ber and ruling elder of the First Presbyterian Church, where he was a tenor in the choir until very recent years. He exercised leadership in club work, being a former member of the Lions Club, the Chamber of Commerce and was a staunch supporter of Presbyterian College, especially in its athletic activities. Throughout the years he has had the support of Mrs. Whitten, who likewise entered- intb activi ties that embraced a wide field. Paul B. Martin Paul B.
