505,000. The dam is located on a
tributary of Duncan Creek just
north of where S. C. Hwy. #56

is to be completed within 145
caldendar days.

Clinton Lions
Are Named
District Officers
George H. CornelsonandRem-
bert S. Truluck, both past presi
dents of the Clinton Lions Club,
were named to serve on the Dis
trict Governor’s Cabinet for
1969-70 at the close of the State
Lions Convention at Myrtle Beach
May 16-17.
Lion Cornelson was appointed
Deputy District Governor in
charge ofRegionC which includes
the 16 Clubs in Spartanburg and
Laurens Counties. He held the po
sition of Zone Chairman in 1964-
65. Cornelson is also President of
the Clintom Chanber of Com
merce.
Lion Truluck, who has had
many assignments on the Gover
nor’s Cabinet since he held the
office of District Governor in
1958-59, was appointed Public
Relations Director for the Dis
trict. Truluck was also elected
a Director on the newly formed
“South Carolina Lions Sight Con
servation Association, Inc.’
This organization will direct the
work of all the Major Projects
of the Lions Clubs of South Caro
lina.
William H. Craven of Saluda
was elected District Governor,
succeeding W. B. “Bo" Etters of
Spartanburg.
Robert H. Armstrong of Lau
rens was re-named Chairman of
Zone 6 which includes the 7 Lions
Clubs in Laurens County.
ject are the dam on the main
Duncan Creek and seven miles of
stream channel improvement on
the main. These jobs are sche
duled for construction during the
next fiscal year.
The terracing of cropland in
the county continues along with
the planting of crops. Douglas
Stewart in the Fountain Inn area
has completed approximately 50
acres of his farm ahead of plant
ing the fields to cotton and soy
beans. He is also planting several
acres of grass waterways in these
fields for terrace outlets.
R. H. Alexander, L. C. Pat
ton, Claude Patton, J. C. Jones
and Everette Sloan are others in
this section who did some terrace
construction on their farms dur
ing the past two weeks. All of
these farmers have used ACP
cost-sharing assistance in help
ing with the cost of construction
of the terraces. SCS technicians
layed out the new terrace lines
and grassed waterways. The
Laurens Districts’ motor grader
was used to construct the ter
races.
A terracing system properly
layed out, constructed and main
tained is an important conserva
tion practice on sloping cultivated
fields. Terraces also serve as a
guide for contour farming, a much
need practice in Laurens County
for row crop farming.

The Clinton High School senior
class dedicated its 1969 “Clinton
ian* to Wilmot A. Shealy, who
has been principal of the high
school for the past five years.
Co-editors Beth Edwards and
Mary Lou Simpson presented the
first copy of the 1969 “Clinton
ian" to Mr. Shealy at the annual
party on Tuesday evening, May
13.
The dedication read: “As we
eagerly entered high school,
those of us who had earlier been
under your guidance found you the
only familiar part of a complete
ly new atmosphere. Those meet
ing you for the first time soon
realized that your leadership
ability and untiring concern gave
a sense of security to this im
portant phase of our lives.
Through your influence on us
since the ninth grade you have
taught us the importance of self-
discipline, imagination, and per-
serverance. As we progressed
through high school, your treat
ment of us individuals led us to
think of you more as a friend
than as a principal. For this
continuing interest in our lives
and your contribution to our edu
cation, we, the Senior Class of
1969, dedicate our “Clintonian”
to you, Mr. Wilmot Shealy.'
