Referendum For
State Workers
On May 20th
A referendum will be held on
May 20th by the South Carolina
Retirement System for the pur
pose of allowing members of the
1 system to vote for or against be
ing placed under social security
along with their state retirement.
Those eligible to vote will be em
ployees of the city, county, and
state, including school teachers,
who are now members of the sys
tem.
In order for social security bene
fits to be made available to such
employees, a favorable vote of
more than 50 percent of the mem
bers of the system is necessary.
A favorable majority of those vot
ing will not necessarily mean that
this system will go into effect,
since the majority may not exceed
50 percent of the members.
On Monday, April fourth, a rep
resentative of the retirement sys
tem will be at Oallman high school
at three o'clock and at Newberry
High school at four o’clock for the
purpose of explaining the plan for
coordinating the retirement sys
tem and social security. All mem
bers of the system are urged to
attend these meetings and hear
the questions discussed, in order
that they may be fully informed
on the subject before voting on
May 20.

Medical Auxiliary
Pays Tribute On
“Doctor’s Day”
March 30th has been designated
as ‘Doctor’s Day” in South Caro
lina and the other Southern states
to honor members of the medical
profession both living and dead.
This commemorates the anni
versary of the date that the fam
ous Georgian, Dr. Crawford W.
Long, first used ether anesthesia
in surgery. The idea of a Doctor’s
Day was originated by Mrs. C. B.
Almond of Winder, Georgia, and
her resolution was adopted in 1935
by the Woman’s Auxiliary to the
Southern Medical Association.
We, the members of the Wo
man’s Auxiliary to the Newberry
County Medical Society, being
very proud of our doctors and their
fine and honorable work, pay
especial tribute to them on this
Doctor’s Da. A red carnation, the
official flower, which each member
of the Medical profession wears on
Doctor’s Day, is given by the Aux
iliary as a token of our apprecia
tion for their service and unfail
ing devotion to the relief of the
sufferings of humanity.
The following is a tribute paid
to. the physician by Robert Louis
Stevenson;
“There are men and classes
of men that stand above the
common herd: the soldier, the
sailor, and the shepherd, not fti-
freqently; the artist, rarely;
more rarely still, the clergyman;
the physician almost as a rule.
He is the flower (such as it is)
of our civilization; and when
that stage of man is done with,
and only to be marvelled at in
history, he will be thought to
have shared as little as any in
the defects of the period, and
most notably exhibited the vir
tues of the race. Generosity he
has, such as is possible to those
that practice an art, never to
those who drive a trade ^discre
tion, tested by a hundred sec
rets ; tact, tried in a thousand
embarrassments; and what are
most important, herculean
cheerfulness and courage, so
that he brings air and cheer in
to the sickroom, and nften
enough, though not so often as
he wishes, brings healing.”
THE PHYSICIAN’S PRAYER
“Thy eternal providence has ap
pointed me to watch over the life
and health of Thy creatures. May
the Ibve of my art actuate me at
all times; may neither avarice nor
miserliness, nor thirst for glory,
or for a great reputation engage
my mind; for the enemies of truth
and philanthropy could easily de
ceive me and make me forgetful
of my lofty aim of doing good to
Thy children. May I never see in
the patient anything but a fellow
creature in pain. Grant me
strength, time and opportunity al
ways to correct what I have ac
quired, always to extend, its do
main; for knowledge is immense
and the spirit of man can extend
infinitely to enrich itself daily
with new requirements. Today he
can discover his errors of yester
day and tomorrow he may obtain
a new light on what he thinks
himself sure of today.
“O God, Thou hast appointed me
to watch over the life and death
of Thy creatures; here I am ready

Rainfall Record For
Fifty-one Years Told
A rainfall chart for the 61 year
period from ’1904 through 1964,
measured at the Water Filtration
plant in Newberry has been com
piled by Homer W. Schumpert and
Gerald O. Shealy. The chart shows
that last summer did not hit a
record low rainfall during the 51
years, although it didn’t miss, it
far. The rainfall measured during.
1954 was 30.76”; however, back
in 1925, rain was even more scarce,
30.32”. *
The bottom seems to have fallen
out of all clouds in the year 1929,
when the recorded rainfall was
75.26”, the highest during the 51
year period.
The average rainfall for the
period was 45.39 inches.
