OPEN FORUM The following letter has been handed to The Sun for publicat ion by a member of the Tractor Dealer’s association: We, the undersigned tractor dealers of Newberry, would like to know why the City Council of Newberry, represent ed by Councilman Leland Wil son and the Commission of Public Works represented by William Wise went to Columbia to buy a tractor and dirt loader when any tractor dealer in New berry could have supplied a comparable tractor and loader.

We tractor dealers pay City Taxes, City Licences, Water and Light and Sewerage charges to the amount of sev eral thousand dollars per year and yet Mr. Wilson and Mr. Wise went to Gaines W.

V., owned and tested by I. B. Duck, Jr., of Newberry. According to the certificate and letter received by Duck from the club office, she meets requirements for the “Ton-of- Gold” award by producing over 2000 pounds of butterfat in four consecutive lactations. Si multaneously she qualified for a Gold Medal award with a one lactation record of 628 pounds of butterfat in 305 days, on twice daily milking, which is over three times the produc tion record of the average dairy cow. She is the fourth genera ation descendant of the first registered Jersey owned by Duck at the age of seven years. Lucia continues a record of proven performance for several generations, in which each fe male ancestor showed an in crease in production over her dam. Her dam produced 571 pounds of butterfat at 10 years old, and her sire is Superior Sire Draconis Standard Design, who has sons being used in prominent Texas and South Carolina herds. When a state sale committee consisting of a Clemson college extension dairyman and secre tary of the state Jersey club visited the Duck herd, they se lected Lucia for the North and South Carolina Joint State Sale at Statesville, N. C., on Labor Day, and considered her as one of the top offerings for the sale. Duck consented to the selec tion only because he had two daughters in his herd from her. Her recent calf, a bull, will be retained for breeding purposes. Her first calf, now a four-year old bull, has sired the right kind of offspring in the I. B. Duck. Sr., herd in Texas. Duck considers the testing programs of the American Jer sey Cattle club and Clemson college as an aid and incen tive to breed higher producing cattle.

Wise, superintendent of the light plant cast a wea ther ey e at the rolling clouds of Sunday morning and sum moned his crew tc assemble for action. Action was soon needed for the winds tossed a limb into a 44,000 volt wire feeding the city sub-station and kayoed the service from 6:30 until 8:30. No sooner was this trouble remedied until another section was heard from, then another and another until four or five damaged lines had been spotted and repaired. By four o’clock in the afternoon all service had been restored. But for trimming of trees about town last fall the damage would have been much more serious, Mr. Wise said. Newberry householders were out in full force Monday morn ing clearing yards of limbs beaten off by the winds, and otherwise tidying up after the worst storm in this area in more than 20 years.
