THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C„ Dec. 23, 197(>—1-B F P. COLLEGE PARLEY BY KATHY SPARKMAN Exams Are Over Exams are over new and thank goodness. Starting- last weekend, the girls’ dorms initi ated All Quiet hour (AQH). This lasted until Friday, December 18, when the last exam was over at 5:00 p.m. It has been a tremendous help to have the halls quiet for a change. The boys’ dorms are ruled over by the hall proctors. It is up to these worthy persons to keep the dorm as quiet as possible; however, I seriously doubt that there’s really a big change in the normal up roarious atmosphere. Old P. College won the Lander Invitational Tournament Saturday night, December 5. That was some game. The overtime was the most horrible but we finally pulled through. We now hold the Carolina Conference Championship, the Bronze Derby, the L.I.T. Championship and the Tip-Off Tournament Championships. We host ed the Carolina Conference Banquet on Dec. 11 in Greenville Dining Hall where Cally Gault was named Conference Coach of the Year. Community Projects Elderly Get New Tax Break COLUMBIA - More elderly citizens are expected to take advantage next year of the new sales tax exemption on certain medicines, the chairman of the 3.C. Tax Commission says. Robert C. Wasson said the first reimbursement on such taxes paid by persons 65 or over went to 619 citizens and and averaged $2.60 per reim bursement. However, he pointed out, the reimbursement was only for a three-month period. Refunds next year will be for the entire fiscal year, July 1, 1970 to June 30, 1971. “I think ten times as many will apply,* Wasson said. The State Legislature this year granted a tax exemption on certain medicines topersons 65 or over. The person and his druggist had to fill out an ap plication to be sent to the Tax Commission. The application certified to the purchase of certain pre scription medicines and, on acceptance, entitled the pur chaser to a refund of the four per cent sales tax he paid on the medicines. Applications can be obtained from county health or welfare departments, the State Tax Commission and S. C. Inter agency Council on Aging in Columbia, or district Tax Com mission offices located in Greenville, Spartanburg, Flo rence and Charleston. P.C. students have participated in several activities beneficial to the Clinton area. About 30 people helped with a Christmas party for un derprivileged children. We signed up and took one child, bought him a gift, and went to a party with him on Wednesday, December 9, at the First Presbyterian Church. The children ranged from ages 3 to 13. They saw several shows, in cluding a magic show and a puppet show. The highlight of the evening was the appearance of Santa Claus as he distributed the gifts. Also, on December 13, several students helped the Clinton Jaycees solicit funds to heln other Clinton children. These children are given mon ey from the funds collected and taken to town to buy whatever they want. They are required, however, to buy at least one piece of clothing. The annual Presbyterian College Christmas dinner was held Wednesday, Dec.'DC Of course it was a big success with Cornish hens and as all meals are when Christmas food is served. Every one had to dress and the dining hall really looked nice. I wish it were Christmas all year round. CHRISTMAS TEA Dr. Weersing, the president of Presbyterian College, and his wdfe held a lovely Chistmas tea for the coeds on Thursday. Entering the double doors covered by a mystifyingly huge wreath (if you drive b their house, look at the door), we were greeted by Mrs. Weersing, Miss Hill, the Dean of Women, and the delicious aroma of Russian tea. We w r andered all over the beauti fully decorated house and especially admired the large staircase. Wouldn’t it be exciting to come down those stairs dressed in a formal Well, to us girls anyway! The whole campus closed for the holidays (dorms, dining hall, everything) on Saturday, December 19, so there won’t be anything for me to write about for awhile but I’ll be back when school opens again on January 3. We’re all in hopes that we’ll be ready to start the new se mester with a bang! Until then, Merry Christ mas and Happy NewYear!!! The next applications can be made June 30, 1970, or there after but not later than October 15, 1971. Walter Rice Serves In S. Vietnam Sonar Technical Third Class Walter J.

Petty Officer Rice and his fellow- men play an important role in the shallow Vietnam waters. No submarines can operate in the Tonkin Gulf which has an depth of 120 feet, however there are many small junks and crafts which are very hard, and some times impossible to radar. Sonar has the capabilities of ‘hearing* the sounds of motors and water noise which are caused by these small craft moving through the water. The information that comes from sonar is vital for navigation, water conditions and the safety of the ship by giving an early warning of any approching small craft that may be carrying weapons.
