(Continued from pafle 1) one of the reservoirs at the water plant, records on a chart the a- mount of rainfall and the time the rainfall began. The charts are changed each 24 hours. The rain fall also goes into a funnel-shaped top in this instrument then into a bucket. The weight in the buck et controls the operation of the needle which records the amount of rain. Rainfall records have been kept in Newberry since 1904, having, been kept for many years by the late W. G. Peterson, later by John Henry Baxter. In the early 1940s, the equipment was moved to the water plant and the read ings have since been kept there by Homer S chum pert, formerly superintendent of the public utili ties; and for the past several years by Mr. Shealy. There' is a possibility that a weather bureau station may be lo cated In Newberry in the future, according to Mr. Shealy. One sta tion is to be established in one of three cities, Newberry being am ong the three, but no decision has yet been made. Should the station be established here, more instru ments and improved equipment would be added for weather fore casting service as well as observ ing service. “You would be surprised,” said Mr. Shealy, “at the number of people who request information concerning rainfall. We have a number of requests from con tractors, when an argqment arose as to whether men worked on some construction job on a certain day, or whether it was raining on that particular day so work was impossible. We have been able to help ' out in many disagreements of this kind.” In addition to his duties at the water plant and as weather ob server, Mr. Shealy is also a flow er enthusiast, particularly with African violets and camellias. He has a row of each, which he is rooting, inside the large glass win dows of the water plant where they get the bright sunshine. It is Mr Shealy’s goal to even tually replace all shrubbery now around the water filtration plant with camellias. He had a good start on this project last year, but the day after he set out a number of young camellia (bushes, the March freeze killed them alL He isn’t discouraged, however, and one day, the Newberry Water plant will be a camellia showplace —if Mr. Shealy has his way. John F. Clarkson, Pres. J. K. Willin-h NEWBERRY, S. C. BY THE WAY . . , (Continued from page 1) time to watch TV, nor the set to watch if I'had the time, I didn’t know until a few days ago that a Newberrian appeared, on that pro gram three weeks ago. It was Mrs. P. K. Harmon, who was on a trip to New Lork with Mrs. Guraie Summer. I asked Mrs. Harmon about how she happened to get on the program. She told me she always watched it at home, and after she got to New York, she decided she would try to get into the studio to watch the program. She managed to get in and, like the other members of the audi ence, was given a card to write any interesting story which might be used on the program. She wrote a little abo”t the illness of her granddaugu and was soon summoned from the audience by Dennis James who talked with her about the matter and asked if she could appear on the program. She could, and did, and won $200. Mrs. Harmon said that during the rehearsals before the program, she v was so nervous she didn’t know whether she could go through with it, but by time she got on the air, the nervousness had about worn off and she really enjoyed it. I know many of you saw her appearance. Wish I had known about it, so I could have made a special effort to see it. SOME CRITICISM I don’t believe I’ll let this week go by without a little criticism. The trouble is, I don’t know the proper party to criticise because I don’t know who is in charge, but whoever is supposed to take care of the roads at Rosemont ceme tery, I would like to call attention to the fact that the road leading ! in from the first pier going out ;of the city is in pretty bad shape. Can’t something be done about it? DR. MAMIE SUMMER holds the silver vase which was presented to her at the Civic League’s Golden Anni versary Banquet last Thursday night at the Community Hall. The yase was given by the League in appreciation for Dr. SiHtimer’s 21 years of service as president of the organization. (Sunphotoby Doris Sanders.)
