RESOLUTION BY LOCAL POST WAR PLANNING BOARD Be it resolved by the Newberry County Post-War Planning Board, that this committee unanimously en dorse the proposed constitutional amendment, to be voted upon in the general election of November 7th, which will empower the State Legis lature to authorize any county to levy a tax or issue bonds for the purpose of constructing and main taining air ports or landing strips. It is the purpose of this amendment to give to the counties, when authoriz ed by the Legislature, the identical authority with icspect to building and maintaining of air ports and landing strips that the county has always had with respect to the build ing and maintaining of roads and bridges In 1895, the time of the adoption of the Constitution of this State, it was not contemplated that air transportation would be develop ed. It is the present plan of the Federal Government, as a post-war plan, to pi-ovide at least one air port in each county in the State, and more in counties where the needs and public convenience require additional facilities. But to participate in this plan, it will be necessary for the counties to furnish the necessary land for the sites. The voters of the State, by approval of this constitu tional amendment in the approaching general eleotion, will make it possi ble for all the counties in the State to assist in that way, along with the rest of the Nation, in the develop ment of National transport facilities. ********* if* * * Those Boys Need WEEKLY—$1 PER YEAR Auxiliaries of Legion Hold Meeting In City LOOKING DOWN MEMORY LANE 20 YEARS AGO The Fifth District American Le gion Auxiliary held a meeting here last Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. C.

PATIENTS IN N WBERRY HOSPITAL GOP TO CONTEST ELECTION RESULT Charleston Oct. II—J. Bates Ger ald, chairman of the regular republi can party of South Carolina, said tonight that the party would contest the right of democratic nominees taking seats in congress if they are elected i nthe November general election. Geratd criticized a statement which he said Gov Olin D. Johnston made in Washington this week. He quoted the Governor as saying that “they (the republicans) are just shouting because they want a long ballot printed with the names of all candidates of all parties major mi nor and sent t« people in the ser vice.” Gerald said Johnston made the statement in reply to questions about any success the republican or ganization in South Carolina might have in contesting the election. The indifference on the part of democratic leaders in the state to the republican demand “for a secret ballot,” Gerald said, would cause “The people to substitute for the saying about ‘changing horses’ the one that ‘you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink. However, tbe political horse is going to dring next January if the democratic • nominees from the tate try to take seats in Washing ton,” he said. Mrs. F. G. Hartley, Mrs. M. P.
