^ Motive-power
Y ou wouldn’t expect tp drive a racing-car
with an empty gas tank! But many a man is
trying to go through life just that way. It’s a
man’s spirit that supplies his motive-power; if a
man’s spirit is right, he’ll go far. -
The Salvation Army shows troubled, despairing
men and women where to find renewed hope and
will to surmount their difficulties. If the trouble
is partly economic, this agency of practical Chris
tianity helps to meet the immediate material
emergency. And in The Salvation Army Reli
gious Center the troubled person can find fresh
driving force to pick up life anew. With spiritual
motive-power he can go forward courageously —

Board Of Trustees
Makes School Report
The annual report of the New
berry City School Board of
Trustees to members of Newber
ry School District No. 1, was
given at a meeting Tuesday
morning in the courthouse.
The report, read by P. K.
Harmon, superintendent of city
schools, review activities for the
year July 1. 1946-June 30, 1947.
Tribute was paid to Dr. O. B.
Cannon, who before his death
last year, had been superintend
ent of city schools for 29 years.
Five teachers were retired at
the end of the school year under
the Retirement Act now in force
in South Carolina. These were
Miss Elizabeth Dominick, Miss
Annie Bynum, Mrs. E. B. Setz-
ler, Mrs. Azilee Pelham and Mrs.
Corrie H. Fridy, all of whom
were commended for long and
efficient service, and for having
“given the best of their lives to
the educational welfare of the
children of this community”.
The Board repotted on the in
creased levy as follows:
‘The Board and Superintend
ent realized the urgent need of
repairs to our buildings and the
increased cost of all supplies and
building materials. Therefore,
they were faced with the fact
that a much greater income was
needed. They felt that the
people would respond favorably
if they knew of the needs of the
schools and the amount of the
funds it would take for repairs.
After much thought and consul
tation with rtpresentative groups
of patrons, it was decided to
hold a special election to ask
that the patrons vote an addi
tional levy of 15 mills for gen
eral school purposes, and to re
tain the 8 mills which would
automatically go off when the
present bonded indebtedness
was paid. It is very gratifying
to know that the result was fav
orable on both questions by a
large majority. The Board wish
es to assure you that rtpairs and
improvements will be made as
soon as practical, and by Sep
tember, 1948, several new
courses will be added to the cur
riculum. Much time will be
spent in studying and planning
for those things most needed in
making your schools the very
best possible.”
Beginning in September, a
lunch room will be ready at
Junior high school. It is antici
pated by the board that a cafe
teria will be ready for operation
at Senior high school within the
nexit two years. Repairs will
shortly be made on the roof at
Junior high and new toilet faci
lities will be placed in Junior
high and the grammar schools
as soon as equipment is avail
able.
Changes made during the past
year were reported: “. . . sever
al things in the way of equip
ment have been purchased for
the schools. Stokers were in
stalled at Speers Street, Bound
ary Street and Junior high
schools. Shop equipment was
secured for sheet metal work
and an annex was built to the
shop for this work. A new bus
was bought for the transporta
tion of students and teachers in
their activities. The money re-
citived from sale of the old bus
during the war was used in
buying it. Lunch room equip
ment was secured for Speers
Street, Boundary, Mollohon,
West End and Oakland. An elec
tric refrigerator, stove, a large
kitchen sink, dishes and stain
less steel kitchen utensils were
obtained for each school. For
the first time a full time super
visor was employed for the
lunch rooms.”
Thirty-five veterans have been
enrolled in classes at the high
school, taking such varied
courses as machine shop, weld
ing, sheet-metal work, commer
cial art, arithmetic and English.
Superintendent Harmon re
ported they were making good
progress in their studies.
The financial report showed
receipts for the session at $191,-
662.16. Expenditures for all pur
poses amounted to $140,525.88,
leaving a balance of $31,136.28.
Bills outstanding, estimated
repairs and equipment before
the next school session, and es
timated teachers and janitors
salaries for September amount
to approximately $27,000, leaving
an estimated balance on hand at
the end of September of $4,-
136.28.
A motion was made and
adopted that the board of trus
tees and Supt. P. K. Harmon be
commended for the foresight and
fine work in planning for the
welfare of our city schools; also
that an expression of apprecia
tion be tendered Supt. Harmon
and the teachers for their splen
did work accomplished in the
city schools.
