PAGE EIGHT THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1949 Candidate for Alderman Ward 1 GEORGE W. MARTIN I do not intend to tell you that our city will go to the Ibow-wows if I am not elected Alderman. There are plenty of good men in the various races, but I do mean to tell you that none of them will try harder to do a good job than I will. And, if you will pardon me, I believe I have the ability to do that job, having had long business training; training in buying and selling and financing which I believe I can put to good use for our city. If elected I will of course co-operate in all measures for good, but my ambition is to try to get more payroll for Newberry. We have a lot of idle people who want to work—want the security of a steady job. I believe somewhere there are manufacturers who will give these people work in new plants here if we go about it in a determined manner. I believe that Council can work effectively with the Chamber of Commerce and other bodies in offering inducements to new plants. They are locating all around us in less desirable towns. Why? If you agree we need more payroll, vote for George Martin on October 4th. Vote for George W. Martin A Frank Statement — I entered this race after consulting with some of my close friends and I can say in all honesty that if I have the backing of any grobps I do not know it. -—nor have I solicited it. I want the backing of all good citizens who are willing to trust my judgement in handling the affairs of the city. I do not want the vote of any person or organization which would wish to push me around. I will guarantee to you, good citizens of New berry, that if I am elected your Mayor NO ONE will push me around. I know that Newberrians do not want BOSS RULE or PETTICOAT rule from any one inclined to throw their weight around, and I tell you here and now—there will be no such rule under Jimmie Wiseman. I ASK ONLY ONE THING. If you hear that I am backed by certain individuals, come to me with % it and I will give you facts to open your eyes.

Or maybe you already have a p'rmanent seeding of Ladino clover and fescue for that. The time has passed when livestock have to waste their time and energy roaming over those bare exercising grounds we used to call pastures. For modem know-how can econom ically put good g*.een grazing there for them the year-around. This can’t be done in most of the country. But it can here. I see demonstrations of it in every county, as I ride with the county agents. They and your SCS men have the dope. Ask them. And remember, there is a time for all things. And for seeding grazing it is now. Boys Are Thai Way About the time the willow came in bloom we were per mitted to pull off our shoes for the summer in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork. At midday we would pull ’em off, go souse our feet in the cold water of the horse trough, and then run in the soft dust of the red clay road. Feet could not stand the rocks, roots and briers then. So we used care for a few days. As the summer bore on the soles of our feet became so cal loused that ordinary briers or even small thorns made little impression on them. And flint rocks didn’t bother much either, except in one way. In running and jumping we would some times hit too hard on a rock. It didn’t hurt very much then. But often a bruise of this sort festered and grew black there under that hard coat and pain ed us something awful. If it had been ordinary skin, it would have soon opened and drained itself. But not so with these stone bruises on our feet. They would just linger there. And we would be so slowed up that we couldn’t follow our pack, as it roamed our hills and valleys there in the good old summertime. We couldn’t even make it down to the creek, either, walking on heel dr toe. And if we could hav e gotten there, we would have feared going in the water. To hit an unseen rock on the bottom with that stone bruise would have been torture indeed. But after what seemed a long, long time, the thing would break open. And recov ery was rapid after that. I couldn’t wear my shoe. Yes, we all have our troubles. Even the happy boys in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork had ’em.

C. TO THE VOTERS I All of you know that I am a native Newberrian, a veteran of World War II with four year’s service, two years overseas, and that I belong to various civic and soc ial organizations. What you might not know about my opinions and political “platform” is the purpose of this statement to you. I am not a representative of any political group or clique, all of the candidates are my friends* I am not running against them BUT for the office on my merits. I have had over two years experience in city government as a member of the Commission of Public Works. I believe in energetic, progressive government and believe that the City Manager form represents this. As a member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce I have been striving for a City Manager for Newberry for several years. If elected, I will cooperate with the City Manager to make this type of government work in New berry. , I greatly desire new industries with their increased payrolls for Newberry, but it is my belief that first, Newberry must be made more attractive to new industries before they can be persuaded to come here. How do this? Good living conditions and adequate public utiKties. This means •—An adequate water supply and dirtribution system; adequate electricity and dis tribution system; adequate sewage disposal; paved streets and sidewalks; frequent sanitary garbage collection and disposal; and a modern street lighting system. Part of this program has been started by the Commission of Public Works (abolished as of September 30th) and I wish to continue it as a member of Council. I believe financial reports of the City Government should be published with reg ularity. As a member of the Commission of Public Works I insisted that state ments be published, and if elected to Council, I would continue to carry out this policy. I ask your support of my candidacy and, if you see /it to elect me, I pledge to continue my efforts as outlined to make our city modern, and a better place in which to live.
