White The young son of Mr. and Mrs. J. . Wiseman, in a formal visit to The [Sun office this week., informed the [press that he" now is to be referred to [as Jim Wiseman. Heretofore, it’s [been Jimmie. “I’m not little any [more, I’m a grown-up boy,” he told a [reporter, “and I want to be called Jim.” And with a polite thank-you (turned to the door and walked out. It fill started like this: a traveling sales- nan was watching the young Wi&e- nan write out his name—Jimmie. In !iis childish scribble it took some time to accomplish this task, so the sales- an suggested he merely write “Jim” [telling him that he would be called that anyway when he grew up and it vouldn’t take nearly so long to write. [So young Jim Wiseman has officially [informed his mother, his daddy, and [the gentleman of the press of this all-important change in his life. Tree Question Since the first mention of the water find light commission’s plans for re- Viring the city and hiring tree ex perts to do some tree trimming, talk has been going, thick and fast, that before long practically every tree in town will be cut down, leaving the city kll but bare. The very idea that all [.he beautiful trees on Calhoun, College land other streets will be cut down Deems absurd. Before such a thing bould happen home owners would rise lip in a body and threaten to tar and feather anyone who tried it. It’s a riown fact that the leading citizens |>f the town hate to see a single tree down. Furthermore, there's not more nature-loving citizen than the luperintendent of the water and light plant. We’ve been around him long [mough to know that, and he appre ciates a tree as much as the next oerson. We know that he had a fin der in the planning of the Newberry :ounty park drive and also know that he caused that drive to be changed a i little in some places to keep from cutting down a particularly old and lovely tree. It’s apparent that he will stand along with the newly organized Tree Commission and other promi nent citizens in seeing that no more trees in the city go down than abso lutely necessary. With the heavier wiring to be put up, it would seem that a little tree trimming is all nec- cessary to handle the situation. After all, we’ve had pretty good and effi cient current service through the past years—trees and all. In Three Months Friday, November 15, is i. long ways off but news has just come of an Im portant event on that date—the ap pearance of the Kyrl Symphony orch estra in Newberry. What a treat we have in store! It’s one of those must- attend affairs. Making plans for the appearance of this famous group is a committee of three—Dudley French, chairman, Z. F. Wright, and Hal Kohn. Ten local citizens have underwritten the Kyrl contract. And since this an nouncement is three months ahead of time, you have ample notice to keep November 15 open. You Never Know Until some calamity has occurred like the Sunday coast hurricane, you never realize how people get about. There must have been hundreds of Newberrians at Charleston or one of the beaches this weekend. Every wry you turn you hear someone tell ing of his experiences at one of the coastal cities over the weekend. We understand there was a record crowd of the season ae Myrtle Beach Satur day. Newberrians contributed to that crowd and many were at Charleston, toe largest part being down to see the boys of the Coast Artillery at Moultrie. However, very little visit ing, bathing in the sea, or the like was possible over the weekend. You Are RIGHT! Auto Financing Is Our Business We will finance a new car for you.

To The Voters Of Newberry County: It has come fo my attention that certain individuals, in an effort to discredit me, have been making the statement throughout the County that I have been unfair in the apportion ment of school funds of certain school districts. The only district named so far as I have been able to get the in formation, is O’Neall School District. It is being told prior to my occupancy of the office of County Superintendent of Education that district, from its funds, was able to pay on a school district debt the sum of $500.00 each year; that since I became superin tendent that $500.00 payment was no longer necessary, and that the school was still not able to get the benefit of that sum each year. It is true that the school debt was paid. However, O’Neall School District has been get ting the benefit of that sum of $500.00. The fact is overlooked by those who are making these incorrect state ments that the transportation expen ses of the school district have increas ed. These increases have been due to the fact that the bus routes have been extended both in Newberry and Saluda Counties to bring pupils to the O’Neall High School. When I went into office, the school year of 1935-36, the cost of transportation of pupils amounted to $1386.00. Because of the extension of the routes and the new contracts necessary under the law, the cost of transportation in the school year 1936-37 was $1770.07. In 1937-1938, the transportation cost amounted to $1908.10. In 1938-39, it amounted to $2131.10. In 1939-40, it amounted to $1958.40. It will be seen that there has been an average yearly increase in the transportation expen ses from 1935-36 to the present of $555.92. So without increasing the tax levy, O’Neall School District has been able to take care of its increased transportation expense. This increase would explain, also, why the district has not been able to lay aside the sum of $500.00 per year, which it used formerly to pay off its old debt. I would like for the public to under stand that the County Board of Edu cation and the Superintendent of Edu cation are bound by laws and by regu lations of the State Board of Educa tion and the State Superintendent of Education in the disbursement of all school funds. The Board and I both try at all times to follow these laws strictly. The books, both of my office and of the County Treasurer’s office, will show all amounts received to the credit of each and every school district of the County and all disbursements. Moneys paid out for each school dist rict are paid only upon vouchers sign ed by the trustees of the school dist rict. These must be countersigned and approved by the County Superintend ent of Education. Each year I have been in office, a certified public ac countant has examined all the records and vouchers of my office, as well as those of the County Treasurer. He has always reported the receipts of funds by the treasurer and the dis bursements approved by my office as being correct. In addition, all these books and records have been subject to the scrutiny of the Comptroller General of the State and of the grand jury of Newberry County. In not a single instance has there been a crit icism of the manner of these dis bursements. The books of my office as well as those of the County Treas urer, are open always to public in spection. Anyone interested in any record in my office will be gladly shown by me such record. Under the law, any school principal, school trustee, or any other interested citizen, had the right to file with the State Superintendent of Education any complaint as to any unfair distri bution or payment of school funds. I am glad to say that no such complaint has ever been filed regarding my of fice. I regret that it seems necessary for me to malke this statement, but it is my purpose always to give the public correct information. This statement is due not only to myself, but it is also due the members of the County Board of Education and to Honorable J. H. Hope, the State Superintendent of Education, whose duty it is to see that I perform my duty. C E. HENDRIX HAL’S ADLETS: Those lovely fancy leaf caladiums are now in their prime.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1940 Ralph Black Candidate For Treasurer TO THE VOTERS OF NEWBERRY COUNTY The affairs of the Treasurer’s office are 100 per cent in order. Every item of county expenditures can be quickly accounted for by reference to the books which are always kept up- to-date and open for the inspection of any interested citizen. The keeping of the records in first class shape so that information may be readily -available has been one of my first considerations in the conduct of the office. The money of all taxpayers of the counity is being spent and I deem it proper that they should be able at all times to examine the records and know where it is being spent, if they so desire. An increasing number of voters are assuring me that, aside from anything else, I should be returned to the office because of my experience 3nd know ledge of the fiscal set-up. I know that this experience is an asset to the I county and I am glad to note that many are taking this view point. Think it through, and I am willing to leave it to the voters of the county who I am convinced are always willing and ready to do the fair thing —the thing they deem best for their county. RALPH B. BLACK Candidate For COUNTY TREASURER HARE AND OLD AGE PENSIONS (Continued from page one) average income in the States are now being collected and published an nually by the Department of Com merce, and he expressed the firm con viction that a formula could easily be worked out on such a basis, saying this plan would be more desirable than the existing one. On page 809 of the hearings he says: “ ‘We think there ought to be a system of variable grants in stead of this flat matching and that variable grant should be rea- lated to the economic caoacity and need of the individual States.’ “On page 813 of the hearing he states: “ ‘We think that this average per capita income is the best single criteria.’ “However, Tie testified with a great deal of emphasis as well as logic that it would be most unfortunate for the Federal Government to assume full responsibility and pay the full amount saying that the States should be charg ed with the duty and responsibility of determining the eligibility of appli cants and, at the same tme, contribute to their needs in proporton to the per capita wealth. That is, the contribu tions by the States should be in pro portion to their ability to pay. This will enable the poorer States to in crease the number of beneficiaries, as well as the amount paid to each. “I am calling attention to the above problem at this time with the hope the matter may receive careful study and consideration in the next Con gress.” Our InvisiMc Half-Soling has no “repaired look-”— nc riuge or visible seam.
