V Blue Hose Are Tfib Week Presbyterian College’s Blue Hose have a day off Saturday and they’ll need it, according to Coach Cally Gault, to try to get back to top strength.

Concerning last Saturday’s game, Coach Gault said, “The only thing colder than us was the weather. We didn’t do anything right. It was snowing, the tempera ture was 34 degrees and it was the longest game I’ve ever seen. “We have been bruised since the Wofford game. A lot of our folks are hurting. We need the open week bad ly.” Francis Cooper, freshman halfback from Clinton, scored one of Presbyterian s touch downs on a 50-yard pass.

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE NO ON THE COURT HOUSE QUESTION There are« good many questions which need to be answered before the people of Laurens County vote for a new Court House as proposed. 1. Why will our Court House cost three million dol lars when Greenwood County is Just dedicating n beau tiful and ample new Court Hottse for only $1,300,000? 2. What use or disposition is to be made of the County Health Department building? Is it proper to in clude it in the Court House, or should it be near the Hospital? If it is to be sold, how much will it bring? 3. What is to be done with the County Agriculture Building, and is it necessary to have this in the Court House? There is less farming every year, and this building has always been adequate for its purpose. 4. What is to be done with the Sheriff’s Office and the Jail? Since nobody ever broke out of our Jail, it must be a good one, and why not simply modernize qnd add on to this building? Ji. Why does the Welfare Department need to be in the Court House, especially since they have a very adequate centrally located place at a very cheap rent? Why not also put the S. C. Employment Security Com mission from Clinton in the same Court House, and move Social Security from Greenwood to our Court House? * 6. What is to be done with the old Court House? Has any plan or cost estimate been made on modernis ing and enlarging it, or even doing a simple annual maintenace on it? And if n new Coart House Is to be built out in the Country, what then becomes of our beautiful and classic building? Torn down for a parking lot? Sold to the City for a City Hall? Why not repair and fireproof it and make it an Archives building for all of the old records which have to be kept somewhere, and reduce tbe space requirements in the new building? . * \ • 7. If all of these extra and unnecessary additions, which are planned for other agencies, are omitted, how much will this reduce the cost? Or could we be better off to enlarge and use what we have? 8. Are we prepared to vote to increase oar Bonded debt limit and also vote to add about 60% to our taxes for general County purposes (excluding school taxes)? Have tax payers been warned that we almost certainly face additional taxes for school buildings and opera tions, for hospital additions, city halls, and other need ed construction? .i _ 9. Why not give the voters some choice, instead of having to vote for only one plan, one site, one complete package with no alternative? SINCE WE HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS, VOTE NO ON REFEREN DUM. (Paid Advertisement by Interested Citizens) THIS WEEK'S SENSATIONAL!
