/ THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., March 27, 1969—1-B ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ SCHOOL LUNCH MENU I 400 County Children Get Histoplasmosis Check Four hundred children in Lau rens County were checked out for histoplamosis recently according to the State Board of Helath. What is histoplasmoisis? Will it kill you? Can you prevent it? It did kill one 44-year-old man in Laurens County this winter. With a bulldozer he had cleaned out a cane brake causing a great deal of dust. The soil was con taminated because many hun dreds of birds had nested in the brake. There are many such areas in South Carolina. If they were plow ed, cleaned out or upset, the dust created would likely be con taminated with the histoplas mosis fungus; it thrives in soil with a high organic content. People exposed to this dust might contract a disease similar to a mild cold, a severe cold or even pneumonia. For mild colds, the BoardofHealthrecommends the usual treatments, for more severe ones, a visit with a doc tor. Because of the death in Lau rens County, the Board and Coun ty Health Department made a sur vey to find the degree to which school children in the area had been exposed. Of the more than 400 from the Owings-Gray Court and Hickory Tavern schools who were given skin tests, 27 per cent proved to have been exposed to histoplasmosis at some time in their young lives. The remaining 75 per cent are in no immediate danger unless some other area infested with bird, bat or chicken manure is plowed up. The Board recom mends to people who are clearing such areas that they wet or oil down the area first to prevent the dangerous dust from rising.

Long Speaks At Whitten Village Banquet County Council Bill Planned For This Year by wayne McCullough (Special To The Chronicle) COLUMBIA - For the first time in history Laurens County is part of a tri-county senatorial district represented by two senators living outside the county. The long standing rule in South Carolina that each county must have one senator was overturned by Supreme Court rulings. The senators representing Laurens County, Sen. Robert C. Lake, Jr.,D-Newberry;andSen. John D. Long III, D-Union, are aware of the problems confront ing non-resident senators. They must rely heavily on the House delegation to keep them in formed on measures relating to Laurens County. Sen. Long explained,'We have a good working relation with the House delegation and we are al ways available for consultation on matters pertaining to Laurens County.' He continued, 'I can understand and appreciate the feeling of the Mountvill© Baptist Revived Slated Mountville Baptist Church will have an Easter weekend revival April 4-6. The Rev. Loyd Melton, pastor of the church, will be featured speaker. Over two hundred guests and residents attended the 18th annual 4-H Club Banquet held March 11, in the Hallett School of Whitten Village. Senator John D. Long, III of District 5, honor guest, gave a brief speech during the program which was presided over by Judy Roberts and Elaine Nettles, pre sidents of the Senior and Junior 4-H Clubs, respectively. Among the other guests were Dr. Roy B. Suber, Superintendent of Whitten Village, and Mrs. Suber; R. L. Plaxico, vice chairman of The Mental Retardation Commission and Mrs. Plaxico; Mrs. Beatrice Sloan, Laurens County 4-H Coun selor; and Mrs. T. B.Summerall, County 4-H Advisor. After a buffet dinner, guests were invited into the auditorium by F. Vinton Smith Sr., Super visor of Hallett School. A de lightful program including a variety of songs and dances was presented by students under the direction of Mrs. LaBruce Heist, dance instructor. The students were accompanied by the music instructor, Mr. Joseph Sliay and his pupil Jerry Brookshire, who also rendered a piano and drum duet. Another student, Hewitt Leonard, gave an organ solo. After the program, the resi dents danced on the stage to the music of Mr. Shay and Jerry Books hire. people who think Laurens County should have a resident senator, but Sen. Lake and myself are do ing all that a resident senator could do. ’ “I feel that I have been a- dopted by the people of Laurens County and I am as close to them as I am to the people of Union County,' he concluded. Reps. DavidS. Taylor and Wil liam P. Culbertson have been working on a county council bill which will be introduced into the General Assembly this year. “This form of government has been made necessary because of reapportionment of the Senate,’ Taylor siad. He explained that most of the laws pertaining to Laurens Coun ty must be approved by a ma jority of the delegation, including the Senator. (In the past each county had one senator.) “Now,' he said, 'we find our selves in a three-county senator ial district with two senators nei- ther of which are resident sena tors.' “However,' he added, 'both senators are doing an admirable job and have been most coopera tive.' Another reason the county council form of government is needed, Taylor said, is to free the delegation from many local issues so it can give full atten tion to state-wide issues which affect everyone. 1he Old "A bachelor is a fellow who failed to embrace his op portunities.” LEONARD Phone 833-1121 MARLER INSURANCE AGENCY 200 N.
