United Fund Nears
69 Campaign Goal
Contributions and pledges in
the current United Fund campaign
climbed to almost OCFr of the goal
according to Charles Oakley,
Campaign Chairman. He stated
that $48,469 had been raised
on our goal of $55,500.
Several divisions are nearing
their goal, according to the re
ports, but no division campaign
is considered complete.
It was indicated that the total
would be increased considerably
if solicitors and workers make
nne final effort to get their con
tacts made and turn in their re
ports to division leaders.
Oakley urges all workers to
complete their work as soon as
possible. Also those missed who
want to contribute are requested
to call the United Fund office 833-
2716 or mail their contribution
to the office.
Gen. A. B. Godfrey is presi
dent of the United Fund. The bud
get for 1970 includes 24 agencies.

ionship Presbyterian College
football team.
After graduating from Presby
terian, he was one of the young
men instrumental in establishing
the Episcopal Church in Clinton.

The cost of installing a pair
of flashing warning signals at
Clinton Elementary School will
have to be borne by the City of
Clinton, members of the Laurens
County Legislative Delegation
were told last week.
At a lengthy meeting with the
delegation, a representative of
the State Highway Department
said that department policy de
mands that costs of such lights
be borne by the city in which the
school is located.
The cost of such installations
is about $700.
Rep. David S. Taylor of Lau
rens said the delegation had re
ceived requests to investigate the
possibilities of erecting flashing
signals with reduced speed limits
at the Clinton Elementary School
crossing.
He said they were informed
that Highway Department policy,
instituted three years ago, is as
follows:
"When the signals are to be
installed in cities, it is the policy
for the city to obtain the de
partment’s approval if the loca
tion is on the State Highway Sys
tem, and the city assumes the
full responsibility for installation
and maintenance.”
Clinton Elementary School is
located on the Greenwood High
way, inside the city limits.
Highway Department repre
sentatives also told the delega
tion that the basic signal equip
ment had been delivered for traf
fic signals at the Five Points
intersection near Clinton.
Mrs. Satterfield
Wins Grid Contest',
Owens Is Second
Mrs. Geraldine Satterfield of
Florence St., Clinton, is this
week’s winner of The Chroni
cle’s football contest.
She missed only one of 15 pre
dictions but, even so, it took the
"tie-breaker” score to give her
first place over Larry Owens of
Davidson Street, Clinton.
Mrs. Satterfield wins the $25
first prize and Owens wins the
$10 second prize.
Despite a week of several up
sets, Mrs. Satterfield missed
only the Southern Cal-Stanford
outcome. She picked Stanford but
Southern Cal won. In her tie
breaker score, she had Auburn
44, Clemson 7, a 37-point mar
gin. Auburn won 51-0. Owens
picked Auburn, 31-0.
William B. Adams of 307Sum
ter Street, Joanna, also missed
only one selection but he finished
out of the money because of the
tie-breaker score. He predicted
a 17-point margin, Auburn 31,
Clemson 14.
This week’s contest is on page
5-B in today’s Chronicle.
Installation work began early
this week.
The delegation met with Chief
Highway Commissioner S. N.
Pearman and Chief Highway En
gineer T. J. Hendricks for sev
eral hours last Wednesday, Oct.
8. Those meeting with the High
way Department representatives
were Senators Robert C. Lake
Jr. and John D. Long HI, and Re
presentatives W. Paul Culbertson
and David S. Taylor.
The purpose, according io de
legation Sec. Taylor, was to dis
cuss the long range road prob
lems in Laurens County.
Rep. Taylor commented, “Itis
the sincere belief that this meet
ing will shorten the time on the
roads being improved and paved
in Laurens County.”
In the near future, representa
tives of the Laurens County Pro
perty Re-Evaluation Board will
be working in the Clinton-Jo-
anna area.
They will be mapping the pro
perty in the area. Bobby Sanders
of Clinton, chairman of the board,
has requested each property own
er to cooperate with the workers
so that the property may be re
corded accurately and fairly.
He said, “Certain information
must be obtained in order to put
a fair valuation on the property.
In the areas that already have
been mapped, the property own
ers were very cooperative and
for this we are grateful. The suc
cess of this program depends
entirely upon its acceptance
by the citizens of Laurens Coun
ty.”
Garbage Disposal
Topic Of Meeting
A meeting is scheduled Nov. 4
to discuss progress in securing
land for county-operated garbage
disposal areas.
Clinton City Council last week
voted to stop all out-of-town use
of the city dump and Laurens
City Council currently is con
sidering a similar action.
Clinton Mayor Harry Layton
said the city dump can no longer
accomodate out-of-town users,
particularly industries. He said
some of the industrial waste will
not disintegrate and makes the
landfill unavailable for future
use.
The Nov. 4 meeting was set
by County Agent M. L. Outz who
was requested by the delegation
to head a steering committee to
stimulate interest in obtaining the
necessary sites for sanitary
landfills in rural areas of the
county.
Rep. David S. Taylor said the
county’s legislative delegation
recognizes that “the waste dispo
sal problem in Laurens County is
steadily increasing.”

PC Plans
Increase
In Fees
A $125 increase in Presbyter
ian College fees for the 1970-
71 session was announced today
by President Marc C. Weersing.
Under the revised schedule a
resident student will pay $2,375
for tuition, room, board and gen
eral fees for the two semester
school year beginning next fall.
The non-resident or day student
charge will be $1,470.
Dr. Weersing, in a special let
ter to parents, pointed to the
mounting cost of operations in
terms of faculty salaries, equip
ment and supplies. He said the
college already spends an aver
age of $840 more per student
than the full charges cover--a
differential made up by gifts and
endowment income.
The new total charge of $2,
375 is composed of these ex
pense items: Tutition--$1,350;
General Fee--$140; Room $360;
Meals--$525.

In an address before the Clin
ton Exchange Club Monday night,
Columbia Mayor Lester Bates
proposed the establishment of “an
independent, non-political police
academy*.
Citing a break-down in law and
order as “the greatest threat to
our Democracy today,” Mayor
Bates said, “We must take the
handcuffs off our policemen and
put them on the criminals.*
Bates, considered a candidate
for the Democratic Party’s nomi
nation for governor, said, “In
the United States, five serious
crimes are committed every
sixty seconds. Crime increased
more than 20 per cent in the year
1968, over 1967.*
He said, “The problem is a nat
ional one because no part of the
nation can escape the curse of
crime but the cure is fundament
ally a local one because only on
the local level, in the local com
munities, by the actions of in
dividuals acting together, can the
answers be found and the solu
tions be put into action. . .”
“For too many of our citi
zens, freedom has come to mean
freedom from unpleasantness,
freedom from work, freedom
from discipline, freedom from
sacrifice, freedom from duty,
freedom from responsibility--
when the citizen is no longer
concerned for the welfare of his
neighbor, anarchy sets in and no
one is free. . .
“We must stop coddling crimi
nals and making vp excuses for
lawbreakers--we must, and I em
phasize, we must, take the hand
cuffs off our policemen and put
them on the criminals. No man is
above the law; and no man is be
low it; nor do we ask any man’s
permission when we require him
to obey it.
“We must bring about a sen
sible, scientific, up-to-date mod
ernization of our police facili
ties. We must make law enforce
ment a profession comparable to

The cities, towns, and communi

Mayor Bates closed with a quo
tation from Edward Hale, former
chaplain of the U.S. Senate:
“I am only one, but I am one.
I can’t do everything, but I CAN
do something, and what I CAN do,
that I OUGHT to do, and what I
OUGHT to do, by the grace of
God, I SHALL do.”
