' .L k, J\ N 'i MASON lost a kfood friend

iiiyton ((mat) .McMillan, the lonkT-time mtunber of
tne coaching stall at ('lemsott Fniversity.
Mr.'! i 11 a 11 and Mason played in the same haek-
Teld at Saluda Hiyh School in 1921-2d. Another
member oi that baekfield was the late O. D.
LAIM.E'I f, the first winner of the Jacobs Rlockmy
tropy in tlu 1 stale ol South Carolina. Faduett
play ed biockino back at Liemson when he won the
nward in 1928, but was a halfback, alony with Mc-
Aliihm, at Saluda.
Masott was recoKiu/.ed as the finest fullback in
tile state.
That Saluda team lost only one Kamie during
Mason’s senior year. The loss was to Gaffney for
the upper state championship. That was back be
fore teams were rated according to classification
mtsed on enrollment.

When HI GH JACOBS got up to present the
state blocking trophy at the Columbia Touchdown
Club banquet last week, he said:
“I quote Mark Antony as he sneaked into Cleo

if an volte can better the one-armed paperhanger
description, it’s MRS. BIRDIE’ SPENCER at the
Blalock Clinic. The receptionist slipped on ice and
broke her right arm recently.
She warn indeed, busier than a one-armed paper-
hanger Monday morning. With an office full of
patients, the telephone ringing incessently as she
tried to fill out forms with her left hand, her com
posure was amazing.

What
Do You
Think?
<H ESTION : What do
you think should be
done about the Laurens
County Courthouse sit
uation? Do you think
the county needs a new
courthouse or should the
current courthouse he
renovated ?
( . H. LEONARD—“A
courthouse definitely is
in order but I cannot see
one so expensive (as the
$2.9 million proposal re
cently voted down). To
remodel the old one
would cost just as much
as to build a less expen
sive new one.”
HOWARD SMITH—“A
new courthouse is a ne
cessity hut on the other
hand Laurens County
does not need a $2 mil
lion ‘white elephant.’ ”
MRS < . H. THOMA
SON—‘‘We don’t need a
$2 million courthouse,
that’s for sure. Factories
can be built for less than
that.”
CHARLES C A M P-
BELL—‘‘We need a new
courthouse and a morg
central location — but
not §3 million worth.’
JIMMY McKEE—“Just
remodel the one we have,
there is no need to spend
so much money.”
