O’DELL District Conservationist The construction of the fifth floodwater retarding dam in the Duncan Creek Watershed got un derway this week according to C. D. Waldrep, Watershed Di rector and Contracting Officer. Mr. Waldrep reports that the Wham Construction Company of Anderson, S. C. was awarded the contract on the low bid of $56,- 505,000. The dam is located on a tributary of Duncan Creek just north of where S. C. Hwy. #56 crosses Duncan Creek. The job is to be completed within 145 caldendar days. The remaining construction jobs on the Duncan Creek Pro- 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.

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. * * * Truluck Wins Lions' Award Rembert S. Truluck of Clinton, has received the first “District Governor’s Appreciation Award* to be given in District 32-A Lions International. The award was presented to Lion Truluck at the State Con vention in Myrtle Beach, May 16- 17, by District Governor W. B. Etters, for his outstanding con tribution to Lionism in organiz ing and conducting the Mid- Winter District Rally held at Presbyterian College on Janu ary 18th. Special recognition was also given the Clinton Lions Club for sponsoring this very successful project which drew an all-time record attendance of Lions and Lionesses for any meeting in South Carolina other than a State Convention.

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.'
