V Taxis Must Find Other Parking In Thirty Days Lovers of flowers and shrubs will welcome the announcement that the city intends to do something about stray dogs. It’s a bit disgusting to spend hours making a pansy bed only to have a stray dog tear it up. It is equally disgusting to have your prize azaleas trampled by an oversize pooch. This dog business has long been a sore spot with many Newberry people who prize their yards and gardens. Many times the police department has threatened and done nothing. We would remind the city manager that this latest warn ing is made by a chief who is under his direction. It now becomes his duty as well as that of the chief to see that this nuisance is brought to an end. We believe he will do just that. We do not favor the whole sale slaughter of dogs. We do not believe such will be neces sary if dog owners are made to realize that the city means business. There are now hundreds of small camellia plants in yards about the city. These plants are in full bud and dogs seem to prefer them to lamp posts. These prized plants are entitled to as much protection as any other property. The property owner pays taxes for such pro tection. As the sap begins to rise I become flower-minded. Azaleas have been my weakness but I’m afraid I’m becoming a cam ellia bug and will eventually wind up in the poor house with a Duchess of Sutherland blos som in my frayed lapel. Camellias can run into money and should be shunned except by such financial stalwarts as Dave Caldwell and Dr. Senn. However, by taking the belt up a notch or two and filching a few bucks from the entertain ment budget everyone can have at least a little specimen of the South’s - traditional flower. Mrs. A. O. Felker down Pom- aria way has some fine plants just rearing to bloom in your yard and her prices are reas onable. To get to her place take the Strother road to Keitt’s cross roads, turn right there and it’s only a couple of miles on a newly paved road. There are a lot of fine cam ellias blooming over town now. Trent Purcell’s pinks are gor geous, and of course Dr. Senn’s wide variety of reds. Mrs. Monts’ fine old bush (said to have cost $500) is not yet in bloom but you should watch out for it. It is a verigated variety and I had blooms from it at Helena years ago when it belonged to a lady there. She thought it was over 50 years old. Ralph Blackwell came in this week to get a year’s visitation of this album of song and in spiration. “Been trying to get in here and subscribe for two years,” said Ralph. Well, a lot of printer’s ink has run thru the press in two years but he probably hasn’t missed much. Newspapers these days exist so far as I can tell for the sole purpose of furn ishing the editor and the force with a few groceries and an occasional movie. The press with a mission is a thing of the past. Editors these days are just so many people. In another day they considered it a duty to keep the world (or their part of it) functioning properly and honestly. Bob Fair came in to find ou/ more about that strange chim ney as described in “By-The- W^y” last week. “I have been by the Ecusta plant at Brevard many times,” said Mr. Fair, “but I have never seen that chimney you said was 2 feet at the base and 14 feet at the top.” Nothing wrong Bob ex cept that we got the durn thing up-side down. Next time you’re up that way turn it over for us, will you? TOLBERT-FRANKLIN Mr. and Mrs. Raymond M. Tolbert of Newberry, announce the engagement of their daugh ter, Jeanette Elizabeth, to Mr. M. P.

It is now on order. A delegation of 11 negroes appeared before council with four requests. They wanted a rest room, a negro policeman, aid in developing their parks, and removal of the city dump. They were told their requests would be given consideration. The city garbage dump has long been a sore spot with white and colored people in that part of the city. Mayor Wiseman said that the city now has plenty of land for another dump but that nothing would be gained by simply moving it to another location. It would take $8000 to buy necessary machinery for burial of gar bage, he said, and added that the city did not have such money for such purpose.

Colie Dowd, the town’s chief of police, has asked us to warn dog owners that they must keep them confined to their premises when not on a leash or accompanied by someone. He says that stray dogs will be take up and slain after due notice. Numerous hounds have been roving singly and in packs over the city by night and by day trampling flowers and shrubs, upsetting garbage cans and playing the devil generally on premises where they have no business to be. This, says the chief, must stop. You would hate to hear of your pet dying at the hands of the local gendarmerie, his soul ful eyes pleading as a cop pours hot lead into his quivvering body.

VOL. 12—NO. 38 + NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1960 ♦ $1.60 PER YEAR ? ^*1JlS nn VFW Would Add 1 Mill SEASE IS Aiken Firm To Taxes For Hospital NEW COP Gets Work A proposal to ask the legisla tive delegation to raise the countywide tax levy by one mill for the support of the Newberry County Hospital won unanimous approval by more than fifty members of the Vet erans of Foreign Wars organi zation in Newberry. The action was taken at the last regular meeting of the organization, Commander J. C. Gilmer re vealed today. The local post of the VFW has made a study of the hos pital needs of the community and the increase in the appro priation for the county hospital was a result of the study. The S esolution called for a referen- lum of the people, if necessary, to be conducted within the next two years. Speaking of the urgent need for greater hospital assistance, a VFW spokesman said, “Our county hospital is being en larged now with all the atten dant expenses of a larger staff, more adequate equipment and the countless costs needed to maintain a good hospital. We are told that few hospitals in the country are able to break even in keeping receipts up to expenses. “In Newberry county, we are taxed one-quarter of one mill for our own hospital which brings in a little less than two thousand dollars per year, a minute sum when the large hospital expenses are consider ed. “We propose to increase that millage by one mill and believe that the great majority of the people will favor such an in crease. This would bring in an additional eight thousand dollars annually. “The VFW is informed that the county has agreed to un derwrite the deficit of the hos pital for the next two years. We feel that before the expira tion of that time, some action should b e taken to insure the continuance of the hospital on firm financial footing. “In many counties, the hos pitals are receiving many thou sands of dollars in tax monies for their operation and we want to be sure that the people of Newberry County have hospi tal facilities and care equal to other counties in the state. “The money we propose to raise would help care for in digent patients and for such other uses as the hospital board might decide. “The VFW is unalterably op posed to the national socializa tion of medicine proposed by the present national administra tion. We think that our needs can be cared for locally under the American system of free enterprise. And we commend our proposal to the delegation and citizens of the County for their serious consideration.” The local VFW post has al ways been interested in the medical needs of the commun ity and has assisted the hospi tal in many ways since the post was organized here. The members compose a “walking blood bank” now upon which emergency cases at the hospi tal may draw for blood trans fusions. —Contributed T. L. Sease, who has been added to the City Police Force, assumed his new duties on January 15th. Prior to accept ing the position with the city, he was employed at Fort Jack- son, where he has held a posi tion since receiving his dis charge from the Navy in Oc tober of 1945. Mr. Sease was a member of the Navy for eight years, serv ing most of the time overseas. He was stationed at Pearl Har bor when the island was attack ed by the Japs. He held the rank of Boatswain Mate First Class at the time of his dis charge. Mr. Sease and his wife reside on College street Extension, where they built a home some time ago.

CIVIL SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT The Civil Service Commis sion has and continues to issue a warning to the public con cerning so-called Civil Service Schools.

Information about examina tions for the Federal Civil Ser vice may be obtained at any time without cost from the Sec retary of the U.S. Civil Service Board of Examiners at first or second class post offices, or from the Commission in Wash ington, D.
