Did you know that Newberry
High School is one of the most
progressive schools in the state
in the field of Diversified Oc
cupations? There is now a new
training program in Newberry
High School that proves this
beyond a shadow of a doubt.
What is this new program? Well,
it is the placing of students in
the state that have this program.
Diversified Occupations Com
merical Program is a part-time
vocational program operated
throug the cooperation of the
school and our progressive mind
ed businessmen in the commun
ity. Through this program, girls
are placed in the offices by the
coordinator, Miss Ila Mae Suber,
on a period of six weeks proba
tion. If after this time the girls
are doing well, they are employ
ed for the remainder of the
school year. At the end of the
year, if a girl is needed for
continued work, there is a pos
sibility of her remaining on the
job.
The girls, although inexperienc
ed in the actual procedures of an
office, are not “green” at all.
The course of study at school in
cludes typing, shorthand, book
keeping, and general secretarial
procedures. These courses cover
fully the problems that a good
secretary runs into in an office.
The texts are modern and are
taken from the practical expert*
ences of some of the most effici
ent office workers and secretar
ies in the country.

WILLIAMSTON CHILD
18 MADE WELL
BY MIRCLE MEDICINE
WHjLI AMSTON, Nov. 21— A
little 6-year-old girl is normal
and healthy here tonight, instead
^ of dead or paralysed, because of
the new mircle medicine ACTH.
Jane Harper, daughter of Mr.
and **rs. J. B. Harper is little
the worse for the attack of a
heretofore deadly disease, en-
cepalitis, and her family is all
but delirious with joy.
November 7, the child was tak
en to the Anderson Memorial
Hospital almost totally paralyzed
from the effects of rabies shots,
which she and the rest of her
family had to take after play
ing with a mad dog. In Ander
son, while the doctors made
testa, Jane lasped Into a coma.
The physicians knew what was
wrong, but they could not even
suggest a cure none was known.
In desperation, her family de
cided to take her to Duke Uni
versity in Durham. Doctors there
made more examinations and
came to the same conclusion.
They could diagnose the disease,
but they could do nothing about
it They told her family to ex
pect one of three things for their
daughter, total paralysis, mental
deficiency or death. They could
p no hope.
hey were however with the
lly's permission, willing to try
:ompletely new experiment—
inistration of the adrenal
isone, ACTH, something that
never been used in such a
, before, but that had proved
:essful with arthritis and
tmatic fever. The Harpers
,r four days, beginning Nov-
;r 9, Jane had a dose of the
time medicine every four
s. Even on November 10,
showed “remarkable improve-
r** the doctors said, but con-
>d to be without hope. It
Lt be temporary. For three
> days the dose was given
y eight hours, then every
ours for the final three days.
though the improvement
obvious and continuous, they
ilsed nothing.
nally, yesterday morning,
got out of bed and walked
normally as she ever had.
n tests showed no permanent
ilrment. No lasting effect of
disease was discernible. The
)r said she could be back in
ol In two weeks.
> Mrs. Mary Harper, he said,
i have Just witnessed a re
markable thing—a mircle, if you
like. Your daughter is cured.”
Throughout the terrible days
and nights of waiting, Mrs.
Harper said, their friends had
offered sympathy and had told
her they were praying with her,
and she gives them as much
credit as the drug for her daugh
ter's recovery.
Tonight, with her daughter
safe at home, she said, "I’m so
tired, and at the same time so
happy, I haven’t got good sense.
But we think we’re the most
fortunate people in the world,
and we do want to thank every
body”
The schedule of these girls are
arranged so that they may begin
work at 2 o’clock, and although
these girls are working mainly
for tl\e experienoe, they are
paid salaries equal to those of
any beginner. The - students are
graded on their practical work
through score sheets by their em
ployers, and if the work is satis
factory, they receive 1% credits
toward earning their diplomas.
The following girls have al
ready been placed in excellent po
sitions, and are doing com
mendable work.
Martha Park — Joyce Mays,
Newberry ' County Memorial
Hospital—Martha Davis
Carolina Daries — Betty Jean
Gause
Drs. Anderson and Lynch—Lois
Neelands
Hipp Contractor and Builder—
Betty Lou Hipp
Wells Theater—Peggy Minick
and Evelyn Frick

A few of the girls have not
been placed, so if you are called
on to help, won’t you do it?
After all, you had to ge your ex-*
prience too.

COUNCIL
FLIP-FLOP
City Council, in a special meet
ing held yesterday afternoon, re
versed itself on the matter of
selling and shooting fireworks
in the City of Newberry, and
voted to allow fireworks to be
sold and shot on a person’s own
premises.
The motion to adopt such an
ordinance was made by Council
man Neil Dufford, who last week
seconded the motion to prohibit
the sale and shooting of fire
works in the city. Councilman
Cecil Kinard, who originally
made the motion to prohibit the
sale and shooting of fireworks,
seconded the motion of Mr. Duf*
ford to pass an ordinance which
would regulate the size of fire
crackers, and to allow the shoot
ing of fireworks “in premises”
occupied by a person. The vote
of Council on this ordinance
was unanimous. It will go into
effect on December 1, 1950.
Council denied the request of
Ira T. Cousins to lease property
for permanent pasture at the
Newberry city sewerage treat
ment plant.
A petition was read from the
Merchants Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, request
ing that the city increase busi
ness licenses in Newberry by five
percent, with approximately $2000
of the revenue to go to Christ
mas decorations and Santa Claus
parade in Newberry.
The matter was presented to
Council for consideration, with
action to be taken at a later
date.
An informal meeting of Council
was scheduled for December 4,

INDUSTRY TURNS EYES .
TO SOUTH CAROLINA
By BRIM RIKARD
In The Anderson Independent.
COLUMBIA. Nov. 21 — Indus
trialists thruout the nation are
turning their attention to South
Carolina and they are coming to
the State’s new chief executive,
James F. Byrnes, for advice and
information.
This was disclosed by Byrnes
when he said that he has been in
correspondence with industrialists
—not in the textile field, who are
interested in locating in South
Carolina.
Of course the veteran public of
ficial did not hesitate to give due
credit to the 2,090,000 citizens of
the state who are aiding in the
progress being made and to those
who have worked untiringly in
past years.
“Industry would not come to
the state as rapidly as it is com
ing to South Carolina unless it is
the place in which to locate,” he
said.
He said in the early 1940s the
state’s economic progress went
above the national average of per
capita income. This increase was
30 per cent above the national
average, he pointed out.
The national average is ahead
of South Carolina he said and
added “but we are making great
progress now” and predicted that
in the next 15 years South Caro
lina will be the fastest growing
area in the nation, including the
Pacific coast.
Mr. Byrnes pointed out that
management-labor relations are
excellent in the Palmetto State
and praised industry—particularly
the textile field—for contributing
to this by making it possible for
the workkers to buy the home in
which thev live.

STREETERS DISCUSS
FUTURE OF BASEBALL
In a meeting held at Jolly
Street Saturday night, Nov. 18,
for the purpose and in the in
terest of future baseball at Jol
ly Street, it is needless to say
that one hundred or more who
attended are deqply' Interested
in continuing baseball at Jolly
Street. We think only fair to
say to the public that the ball
used for base ball at Jolly Street
lhat could no longer be
and the contract on the
was canceled by the owner of
the property.
Mr. S. R. Metts dated back
more than fifty years has al
ways been and is today a leader
in every forward movement for
the betterment and welfare of
the community and he demon
strated his loyalty to his Com
munity Saturday night* by donat
ing to the Jolly Street ball club
a permanent ball field to be
known as the Blease Memorial
field. It is needless to say that
the entire community is joining
us to say thanks to Mr. Metis
for his generous gift to the com
munity.
We would like to say to the
public and to the loyal contri
butors and fans of Jolly Street
who has been so loyal to us in
the many years past and today
that the Jolly Street base ball
association of Jolly Street is
still much alive, and we endeavor
to complete this new field ad
soon as possible to do so. We
know that so many of our young
men have been drafted and it is
possible that we may ask the
public to be patient with us as
we may not put out a ball club
for this coming season due to the
above facts, but sincerely hope
that 1952 will find all the war
clouds vanished and the boys will
return to their loved ones at
home. By that date we wish for
a bigger and better ball club.
In. passing we may say that the
entire community at this meeting
Saturday night went on record in
favor that the annual Jolly Street
meeting will be held at Jolly
Street on the 4th of July on each
and every year by this change
the public will always know in
advance to plan for the big poli
tical rally and the association
will prepare and have on hand
national and state speakers. We
extend thanks to the entire
community who came out in full
for this most important meeting
at Jolly Street. v
