Enrollment Far Ahead of Expected The closing days of enrollment for the August 13th primary brought a decided spurt of voters to the 50 precincts enrollment places through out the county. In a number of boxes many more n ames were placed on the books than was the case two years ago Little Mountain perhaps registered the greatest gain with 414 enrolled this year compared with 273 two years ago. The overall gain over 1944 was slightly over 1,000 for the county as a whole. At Whitmire where there is a four cornered magistrate’s race, en rollment jumped from 1,150 in 1944 to 1,398 this year. Four hundred and seventy-four new voters (18 year olds) placed their names on the books, 39 of these being ^from Ward 2, city, which led the enroll ment with 841 names. Whitmire No. 1 and Ward 3, No. 2 tied for second place with enrollments of 710 each, the former having 38 18 year old voters and the latter 30. Ward 5 was next in order with 643 en- rollees, followed by Oakland No. 2 with 517. This is by far a larger enrollment than was expected and the interest shown in the closing days of en rollment remains unexplained. Sev eral of the books in the city were taken to the homes of the voters but this was not true out in the county where almost every box showed some gain. Final dates for securing registra tion certificates to vote in the gen eral election in November are Aug ust 5, 6, a nd 7. The books will not be open again before these dates. The following members of the lo cal National Guard who are attend ing the encampment at Myrtle Beach this week are: Miss Muriel Harmon Beauty Contest Winner Miss Muriel Harmon and Mrs. W.

ARMFIELD Someone, asked me the other day if the Veterans Administration help ed veterans in finding a college to attend under the G. I. Bill of Rights. For the information of others who might be wondering the same thing, the answer is No. At the Contact Office, we have catalogs from a number of colleges and universities in this state and surrounding states, for information of veterans desiring to continue their education, but the VA does not contact colleges in an effort to enter a student. This must be done by the veteran himself— but we will be glad to assist any vet eran in writing to a college, or getting specific information relative to a special course of education. An announcement has just been made that veterans with service- connected disabilities may now get prescriptions filled at their nearest neighborhood pharmacy and secure sick-room supplies in their own home town. The procedure is simple, and if there is any veteran who has been getting his prescriptions filled by the Veterans Hospital i n Colum bia, come by the Contact office and we’ll give you more information about this new and welcomed advan tage. A visitor to the Contact offee one day last week was Mr. Abe Fennell. Many of you know him, and others know of him—because Abe was Sports Editor for The State before going into the Army. When Colonel Fennell was released from active duty, he accepted a position as Resident Public Relations Officer for the Veterans Administration, his office being at the VA Center in Columbia. His office sees little of him, however, for he is continually “on the road” with his Public Rela tions duties. With Abe was his brother, Patrolman Fennell from whom you probably secured your drivers’ license—and who barely passed me on my drivers test! All was forgiven, though, when, business being completed, the Fennell broth ers rested for a few minutes and chatted with Mr. Mac and the writ er while we all cooled off with cokes. Because of the sharp decline in our “business” on Wednesday afternoons, we have decided £hat most veterans believe this office is closed on that afternoon. Being a government agency, however, we are open on Wednesday afternon until five p. m. Our office hours are 8:30 until five each weekday, 8:30 until 12:30 on Saturday. Some of you veterans might have time on Wednesday af ternoon to take care of your vet erans affairs, and this is just a re minder that well be here. We were discussing the possibili ties offered to veterans through on- the-job training the other day, and Mr. Mac said "I wish every business firm in Newberry would secure ap proval to give this training ... not only would it be of benefit to the veteran, but also to the employer.” In looking over the list of approved agencies to give such training, we find there are very few in Newberry . . . certainly not enough to take care of the many veterans who would like to take this training un der the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act. Most of you are probably fa miliar with this program—the Vet erans Administration pays the vet eran, while in training, $65 if single, $90 if married, and the employer sup plements this sum, gradually in creasing his payments as the vet eran becomes more valuable to him. There really isn’t too much “red tape” to go through in making appli cation to have your firm approved to give this training—and this is one way in which you can show your appreciation “to those who served.” Stop by our office at 1113 Boyce street, and Mr. McWhirter will go over the matter with you thoroughly. As I near the end of the column, and glance over what has been writ ten, I notice that I haven’t written one thing about National Service Life Insurance. I think, instead of quoting regulations and such today, I’ll quote a visitor bo the Contact office yesterday. The visitor vas Bill Wise—he was a Captain in the Corps of Engineers during the war, and after his release from active duty, returned to his position with the Newberry Water and Light plant. (Bill said, “I’m holding on to my NSLI—I had thought of drop ping some of it and taking another insurance policy, but after going in to the matter thoroughly with a commercial insurance company, 1 found that I can get no other insur ance so reasonable, and none that offers the protection that NSLI does.” If any veteran reading this would like to make the same com parison, we’ll be glad to tell you jusit how much your premium pay ments will be for NSLI converted to 20-pay, 30-pay or ordinary life—and you can check these payments against the payments you would make for similar commercial insur ance. The figures will quickly prove which insurance is the best beit!! Mollohon vs. Whitmire The Mollohon baseball nine will meet the Whitmire team here at Setzler Field, July 4th, at ten a. m. On Saturday, the 6th, they will play Whitmire again in the after noon at four o’clock. This game will also be played on the Newberry College diamond. Bodies Found In Room At Myrtle Beach James Henry Hughey, Jr., 25, son of J. H. Hughey of 206 Wilson street Greenville, and his wife, were found dead of gunshot wounds in a guest house at Myrtle Beach Sunday night and Police Chief Floyd E. Davis termed the deaths killing and sui cide. Chief Davis said the man appar- antly shot his wife, Evelyn, and then shot himself. He said the wo man’s body was found on a bed and that Hughey’s body was found on the floor against a door with a rifle clutched in his left hand.
