Bob Grube and Bob Keller, 1970 graduates of Clinton High School, returned Monday from a trip that not only covered the western half of the UnitedStates but also included a trip to the Baja Peninsula of Mexico. Grube and Keller left Clint n on June 10, traveled through Georgia and spent the first night in Birmingham, Alabama. Fr^m there they went to Texas and stayed fur several days in Dallas and Houston. They visited ttie Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexi co, went through Last Vegas and arrived in Garden Grove, Cali fornia, a suburb of Los Angeles. Keller has an aunt living in Garden Grove, California, and he and Grube stayed there for a month and a half. They worked during this tlrae at a government plant making tar get ammunition for tlie Army. They left Garden Grove and went into the Baja Peninsula of Mexico, after leaving the Baja, they came back thr ugh San Diego and spent the first opinion of the trip and if he gained anything from it, Bob said,“Of course we had a good time. That goes without say ing. But I think we learned a little more. America is cer tainly a beautiful country, but we also saw some very ugly places. Overall, however, the beauty is what impresses you most of all.’ Middleton Place Record Attendance Charleston, S. C.--A record for visitation has been set at Middleton Place during the first seven months of 1970. the end of July more than 40, 000 visitors had toured the gardens and Plantation Stable- yards, almost twice the number for the same period last year. Manager Charles Due 11 at tributes the increase to several factors. The Tricentennial Celebration has been good for statewide tourism and we have shared in this upward trend. More specifically, with the opening of the Plantatiwi Stable- yards in March, we broadened the base of interest here. The animals, artifacts and crafts demonstrations describe anoth er side of plantation life - the economy and the day-to-day activity. The reception of this development has been most gratifying. An accelerated promotional program has helped to tell the story, Duell explained. Special weekend events have attracted tourists and area residents. Heretofore many residents have assumed that all three of Charleston’s Famous Gar dens close May 1. Middleton Place is. a year-round opera tion. We believe that this point is being clarified and we are feeling the impact. The week end of July 18 and 19 set a summer record. Approximately 2,000 people were on the grounds. We were gratified to see that many local families came out and found the tours sufficiently interesting to devote the better part of a day to their visit, Duell said. He added that dramatic in creases were evident in May, June and July. In May the at tendance almost doubled in lune attendance was twice that AT ELECTRIC CONGRESS — Miss Helen Camp, Extension Home Econo mist, accompanied Ronnie Taylor, Donnie Taylor, and Martharene Na bors to State 4-H Electric Congress at Clemson on August 6th and 7th.

He added that half price rates to parents accompanied by children and free watermelon will be offered each Sunday through September 6. Other at tractions - free wagon rides and demonstrations of crafts- are offered every day. More for reaching re cognition is coming, Duell be lieves, because of the growing interest on the part of national news media in the state ofSouth Carolina and Charleston. Turing to the future Duell discussed plans to plant sum mer flowers in appropriate areas of the landscaped gardens. The program has been under consideration for some time and we are moving forward. The actual work will begin late this summer and we will have flowers during the 1971 summer season, Duell said. Log Cabin Gift Shop COLUMBIA, S. C.-Nestled a- mong the tall pines of Sesqui- centennial State Park is a very unusual gift shop--a restored 1756 log cabin. The two-story cabin, sur rounded by a spilt-rail fence, sits near the park’s amphi theater. The shop is pleasantly cool from modern air-condi tioning; but the restoration is so realistic that it’s easy for the visitor to imagine himself in the 18th century. The gift shop specializes in Early American items; silver pewter, wood carving, rag dolls, pic tures and many other unusual and fascinating gifts for adults, as well as children. The cabin originally stood overlooking the Broad River, with its back to the present Rfver Drive. In 1969, the build ing was discovered by the side of the road, rotting because of considerable water damage. It was dismantled piece by piece taken to Sesquicentennail and put back together in the wav it looked, exterior and interior, at the time of the Revolutionary War, 1775-1782. Sesquicentennial State Park is located just off U. S. No. 1, north of Columbia. The park has 85 modern campsites, as well as a primitive camping area. Lifesaving Course Junior and senior lifesaving courses will start next Monday at the Lydia Swimming Pool. Classes will start at 5 p.m. and conclude at 7 p.m. The classes will be offered Monday through Friday frr the next two weeks. THE CHRONICLE. Clinton, S. C., Aug 13, 1970—3-A ; THANK YOU! FOR THE VOTE YOU GAVE ME TUESDAY. I WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE YOU TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. Talmadge Sanders Alderman Ward 6 Thank You! CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank every one for the many kindnesses and expressions of sympathy ex tended in the loss of our loved one. Special thanks to Dr. Rhame the nurses and staff of Bailey Memorial Hospital for their un tiring efforts; to Mr. Tom Plax- ico, Clemson officials and others who assisted in getting us home safely. Our heartfelt thanks to Rev. Ben Cunningham, for his words of comfort; members of the WSCS, and friends for the food, flowers, cards and the many frieds who called. We will ever be grateful to each of you. Mrs. G. W. Bell and William Editor, Chronicle: I am sure all the citizens of Clinton are proud of our new City Hall, and rightly so, since it will be a tremendous asset in many ways. All those who had a part in its planning and com pletion should be commended for their contribution. I think we should recall a few years during the late Joe P. Terry’s ad ministration when James P. Sloan was chairman of the Finance Committee. With Mr. Sloan’s conservative views, well-planned budget (the first for the city of Clinton), and the proper management of the city’s financial affairs, Council was able to set aside $10,000 per year from surplus to be earmarked for a future city hall. This, in my opinion, made it much easier for future city officials to carry the plan to completion. Frank M. Boland I would like to take this opportunity to thank the people of Clinton for electing me your Mayor in Tuesday’s General Elec Jtion . Let me assure you that the office of Imayor wil* always be open to you. Your Isuggestions, criticism and your prayers will Ibe welcome at all times. Thank you again for your trust and confidence. J.
