Needed For Construction
Von A. Long Jr..Environment
al Sanitarian today reminds re
sidents who are planning to in
stall septic tanks to obtain a
permit to construct from the
County Health Department prior
to construction.
According to Long, this will
give the county sanitarian an op
portunity to inspect the installa
tion and to make certain that the
soil, lot size, drainage, and soil-
water level will accommodate
this type of sewage disposal fa
cility.
‘All of these facts," Long said,
‘determine whether the tank will
function efficiently. A septic tank
that does not work properly will
eventually overflow; usually in
a short time. When this happens,

newly constructed homes about
septic tank precautions. Before
purchasing any lot, they should
contact their local county sani
tarian and request an inspection
to see if the lot will accommo
date a tank. Those about to pur
chase a new home which has a
tank should require a certifi
cate of approval from the builder.

ROSS TEMPLETON
Templeton at a luncheon banquet
at the Holiday Inn in Charlotte
on Saturday, Oct. 19.
A native of Owings, Templeton
was graduated from Gray Court-
Owings High School, then attend
ed Presbyterian College. He be
came a teacher in Patrick, S. C.,
then a teacher and princi
pal in Lake View, S. C.
In 1924 Templeton resigned as
principal of the five-teacher high
school, borrowed$200for aFord,
and began selling World Book.
Since then, he personally has
sold more than 10,000 sets of
the encyclopedia. World Book
cost $57.50 then; its price to
day is $199.80. And nowadays,
Templeton pays cash for his
cars.
He owns a 550-acre cattle
ranch near Owings, where he has
more than 200 white-face, polled
Herefords.
He’ll be spending time at Pres
byterian College. He left there in
1922 at the age of 18 after two
years, when he didn’t have enough
money to continue. Since then he’s
been a trustee and chairman of
the athletic alumni committee.
The college awarded him an hon
orary doctor of humanities de
gree two years ago.
In the future, he plans to put
his selling abilities to work in
getting scholarship funds for
Presbyterian College.
The Wofford College Campus
is undergoing its greatest face
lifting in its 114-year history of
service. Churning earth movers,
towering cranes, and crackling
acetylene torches are working to
the tune of almost $4 million to
construct a library, campus cen
ter and dormitory.
The campus is being reshaped
and modernized from three sides
--on the extreme western end of
the campus, near Church Street,
is the site of the three level
campus center. The three-level
library is being erected east of
Main Building opposite the pre
sent Whitefoord Smith Library,
while the four-floor, 184-bed
dormitory is being constructed on
the southern tip of the campus
bordering Memorial Drive.
Never has the 114-year old col
lege undergone so many con
struction projects at one time.
The most recent building to be
completed on the campus was the
168-bed Shipp Hall dormitory
which received its first occu
pants in the fall of 1963.
Mountain Colors Reach Fall Peak
The golds, reds and purples
of the trees of South Carolina’s
beautiful Blue Ridge mountains
are expected to reach their peak
color this weekend, superinten
dents of South Carolina’s moun
tain state parks report
Thousands visit South Caro
lina’s mountains each fall to see
the display of color. The pro
longed drought slowed the turn
ing of the leaves this year and
caused some to dry up and drop
off before turning.
However, there still will be
beauty in abundance for the na
ture lover.
' The peak color will last about
a week, but will continue in les
ser brilliance until mid-Novem
ber.

able at a reduced rate during

Would You Believe ?
1. That Laurens County is not guaranteed a Senate
Seat?
2. That Pickens County with less population than
Laurens, is guaranteed a Senator?
3. That the lower one-half of South Carolina, with
less population, has more Senators than the upper
one-half which has a greater population?
THIS IS NOT FAIR, JUST OR BASED ON REASON.
WHY?
Because the "big bosses" of the Democratic Party %
dictated and wanted it so.
