Clinton Youths Complete 12,230-Mile Trip
Two Clinton teenagers re
cently returned from a 12,230
mile trip around the United
States in a 1960 station wagon.
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

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.

I WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE YOU TO THE
BEST OF MY ABILITY.

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.
