VOL. 13—NO. 28 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1950 + $1.50 PER YEAR Why not Now? (An Editorial) City Council in session Tues r day night gave free rein to merchants to sell, and citizens to i shoot firecrackers anywhere in the city of Newberry until De ist, when it voted to pass [ ordinance that on and alter cember 1, 1950, the “selling id shooting off of fireworks, other than toy cap pistols" would illegal. According to statements made btr Mayor J. E. Wiseman, City Manager Blackwell, and all mem bers of Council, a record number of complaints were received by these gentlemen on Hallow’en night, and since that time, be cause of the disturbance being caused by the shooting of fire crackers and the dangerous man ner in which they were being handled by careless and thought less persons. A delegation from the New r - berry Civic League appeared be fore Council requesting that this situation be remedied, citing var ious examples of near-tragedy which occurred on Hallowe’en night because of firecrackers being thrown out of cars at peo ple on the streets; and fire crackers thrown into the cars of innocent and peace-loving citi* zens as they rode through the city streets. It was also reported that fire crackers were being thrown over the fence into the stands at New berry ^ College stadium during football games. Mrs. Mamie Summer, repre senting the Civic League, asked Council to “go backwards—to the days when there was an ordi nance prohibiting the selling and shooting of fireworks.” City Council i& going back;, but not for 15 days; in the meanwhile, putting niLjtauis on those who would maliciously disturb or in jure the person or property of the same considera- lown on Hallowe’en f tPPHnl visitors to Newberry the idea that Newberry is traveling back wards, to the days of wild In dians; and possibly giving time enough for tragic accidents to occur. City Council will meet on Tues day night, November 21st, to pass the ordinance prohibiting the sale and shooting of fireworks after December 1st. It could just as easily pass the ordinance to be effective on the night of the meeting, November 21st; save the citizens of Newberry the dis turbance during the Thanksgiving weekend which they had to en dure on Hallowe’en; and possibly avoid maiming or fatal accidents. Your City Council takes action yrhen you make your wishes known; it would be well to let them know how you feel about this matter before next Tuesday night. ANNUAL CHURCH BAZAAR On Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 21st., the doors of the Community Hall will open on the annual bazaar arranged by the women of Central church. Cakes and candies of all kinds; miscellaneous foods—salads, pies, custards, smocks, potted plants and shrubs, dainty garments for babies; and last, but not least, a “White Elphant” sale of useful articles at bargain prices.

TOWN FATHERS IN MEETING HERE The City of Newberry was host to more than 150 delegates from 36 municipalities in six teen counties of the Piedmont section who attended the meet ing of the South Carolina Munici pal Association held Wednesday afternoon in the Newberry Coun ty Courthouse. This was the final of a series of meetings held annually by the Association in various sections of the state. Mayor K. C.

Mayor Alex Woodle of Green wood responded. Mayor Henry Savage of Cam den, speaker of the afternoon, was introduced by Mayor C. H. Albright of Rock Hill. Mayor Savage’s topic was “Zoning.” In his speech, he out lined the desirability of zoning towns and cities w r ith thought to future expansion, and for the health, safety, general welfare and morals of the people. He il lustrated how zoning may be ac complished in an average sized town, and reviewed the legis lative act which empowered city councils to enact zoning ordinanc es.

Bethel gave Frank Lominick, Jr. 8 votes to his opponents 45 in the recent General election.

The question had been raised as to the accur acy of the original return be cause Mt. Bethel is Mr. Lom- inick’s home box and it was felt that he had made a bet ter showing there. The elec tion managers apparently transposed the figures in making their report—inad vertantly, of course.

SPARTANS PROTEST COST OF SCHOOLS UNDER UNIT PLAN The people of Spartanburg voted the School Unit plan. Read this editorial from the Greenville News and note the fun they are having paying the bill: Over in neighboring Spartan burg county there have been numerous and widespread com plaints of very substantial in crease in the property taxes on farms and homes this year. So many taxpayers, indeed, have come to the office of the county auditor to demand ex planations, that County Auditor Murph has issued a statement to the press as a result of the “record number of inquiries and complaints” at his office since the tax notices were mailed out recently. Mr. Murph says that “large 1950-over-1949 millage Increases are working severe hardship on many taxpayers, especially vet erans and owners of farms and small homes. It may be that complaints of increased taxes this year are not confined to Spartanburg coun ty, for in various other counties there have been increases in the tax rates, as well as raises in the assessments this “land year.” But the situation in Spartanburg can hardly fail to direct more general thought to the fact that in some afeas the effort to raise more and more revenues from property taxes for local purposes is creating a real hardship for many property owners, and that in some places at least we ar® reaching a limit in property tax ation beyond which we cannot go further without dangerous and destructive effects. One basic reason ascribed for the Spartanburg tax rises in var ious districts is the program of redistricting of the schools put into effect - this Numerous citizens doubtless as sumed that this program would at any rate provide for a more efficient utilization of school tax money and make possible a bet ter school program. At little or no additional cost. But apparent ly one result has been substantial increases in tax millages in many districts. in an editorial comment the Sppartanburg Herald expresses the view that “if the people get what they are paying for there will be no great complaint,” but It goes on to raise what many taxpayers will feel is a very per tinent question. In this situation in which so many are involved, it says, “per haps a statement from the Coun ty Board of Education might be heApful in explaining how it comes about that the consolida tion of 96 school districts into twelve brings about an increase in tax for school purposes amounting to more than a half million dollars.” That, it says, is “briefly the question many of the taxpayers are asking." The situation is one of thought- provoking interest for other coun ties. We want improved school systems and programs that en able our tax money to do a bet ter Job in attaining that end. Bul in the proposal of such changes the public should be as ele&Hy informed as possible on expected increases in public funds that will be needed; and if such increases would push the property tax levy to unwise and injurious levels, other and more equitable means should be de vised to provide requisite funds. The(! public should be given, in advance, a clear picture of the ;e” of these things and the method by which it would ABRAMS PRESIDES THIRD DISTRICT ATTORNEY PLEADS AT CAPITOL MEET BPW MEET HERE CAS E OF K0HN BILLIE CORLEY MEMBER OF BADOENG STRAIT Billie R.

B. and Keitt Purcell left by plane from Greenville Wednes day morning to attend the Ameri can Finance Confe^gnce, which will hold its 1950 Annual Con vention, November 16th and 17th, at the Palmer House, Chicago. This Conference is a national trade association representing sales finance companies with ap proximately 1400 financing offices in all parts of the United, States and Canada. Attendance at the Convention is expected to break all previous records as the re sult of very drastic restrictions recently imposed upon every automobile buyer in the United States who wapts to pay for his car in installments. On October 11th, the Federal Reserve Board in Washington un expectedly announced that every one who buys a car must pay for it in fifteen months or less. The heavy harden which this places upon people of moderate means as against their wealthier neighbors has created a wave of protests to Congressmen and to the Federal Reserve Board in Washington demanding that these drastic rules be modified to permit at Veast twenty-one months in which to pay. It is expected that those in attendance at the coming Convention will add their voices to those protests made by many thousands of working people who need and want transporation.
