The Board of trustees of the
Newberry City schools in ses
sion last Thursday acted favor
ably on a request of the New
berry Council of Church Women
to include an elective course in
Bible in the city schools. In the
high school the course in Bible
study will be accredited toward
graduation on the same basis as
other elective units.
Bible will be taught as a prac
tical spiritual guide in the ev
eryday life of the student. No
denominational issues will be
discussed and the classes will be
open to those students whose
parents signify their desire for
such instruction.
The teacher, duly certified by
the State Board of Education,
will be carefully selected knd
elected by the Board of Trus
tees.
As the State of South Caro
lina makes no provisions for the
salary of a teacher of Bible in
the public schools, the Newber
ry Council of Church Women
has assumed the financial obli
gation of providing such a
teacher.
It is expected that if suffi
cient funds can be raised, Bible
courses will be provided in all
schools in Newberry.

REV. NEIL TRUESDALE
AT AVELEIGH SUNDAY

Dr. and Mrs. Paul H. Heisey
left last week for Springfield,
Ohio, where they will spent
their vacation. They will re
turn to Newberry the first
week in September.
In March, 1946, a large ware
house, a few cases of groceries,
and two persons constituted a
new concern in Newberry —
Spotts Wholesale Grocery.
In August 1947, that same
warehouse, 40 by 75 feet, is so
packed with supplies that there
is hardly room to get the mer
chandise in and out; and in
stead of the original two, Foster
Spotts and Thomas E. Long
shore, the Spotts Wholesale
Grocery now has eight em
ployees and anticipates several
more in the near future.
Mr. Spotts, owner and man
ager, has been in the whole
sale grocery business for some
20 years. He decided two years
ago that although merchandise
was hard to get, the time was
opportune to open a new estab
lishment of this kind in New
berry—and his hunch has evi
dently paid off, judging from
the growth of his organization
over the past 17 months.
The wholesale concern is lo
cated at 1732 Harris street—
where the Spotts home stood
for many generations, before it
burned several years ago.
Business has increased to
such an extent that a new addi
tion, the same size as the pres-

assisted 1 by Sgt. Kenneth Rog
ers, another non-commissioned
officer and a stenographer.
Sgt. Blankenship stated that
afi itinerant service to Whitmire,
Saluda and Batesburg will be
announced in the near future.
The sub-station in Newberry
will be under the jurisdiction of

manding officer of the Army
recruiting service in Columbia.

the work to begin in the next
few weeks. Mr. Spotts stated
that his present building was
erected at a cost of approxi
mately $5,000 . and estimated
that the new addition would
cost about the same.
Three trucks are continually
on the road, delivering merch
andise all over Newberry coun
ty, and in parts of Saluda, Lex
ington and Laurens counties.
Six other persons have joined
the organization since March
1946. They are: Ben Spotts,

er, who work in the warehouse

previous experience in the
