Indaunted, 1 went to the doctor, and after getting: my medical histoiy he sort of grunted and said "umm. this won't do." We]]. 1 thought, 1 tried. Seems, though, that what “would n’t do" was that the card had been filled iii wrong, first name last instead of vice vesa. After getting my finger stuck the doc tor finally came over and said "she can give a half pint.” Ms. Hannah Pool made me feel better by saying they like to get half pints because there are times whan a full pint is not needed and they hate to waste a whole pint when halt would suffice. The way I figure, at this rate it will take me at least 12 visits to re pay what 1 have used and It! vis its to make the gallon club. At the rate of waiting eight weeks be tween visits, that would he oh. that’s too high in mathematics for me and my husband isn't readily available to figure it so 1 11 just keep going whenever ■ they'll led me and I hope you will do the same.

The mayor proposed the ap- NO CHARGE FOR IT Seems there is some misunder standing about the Red Cross Blood Program and 1 would like to state heres again that when a i v< , (;irv n person from Newberry County is given blood under the Red Cross Program, there is no charge for the blood. There may be a charge for laboratory services by the hos pital in giving the transfusion. 1 know at the local hospital there is such a charge and perhaps at other places too. But it you paid for the blood too, 1 can assure you it would cost much more than the hospital fee. 1 checked with Claude Weeks, superintendent of the local hospital and he tolls me that the fee charged for a first transfusion is $S 75, $1.75 of which goes to pay for the special type bottles used to contain the blood; *1 .00 for unit used by the hospital in administering the blood, and $6.00 laboratory fee for typing and cross-matching the blood. After the first transfusion, the typing is not. necessary and the charge In comes $5.76 per transfusion. Now if you had to pay for the blood too, the minimum In tills area for which you could get a pint would be $25.00. So don't lei anyone tell you they paid for Red Cross Blood, because they didn’t do it. (Continued on page 4) One ni Do outspoken ciivuit | Worts Sidney J Hughes, judges of the state, the Honorable !

City Councils may, and usually do. change each two years, but Colum l ,llR work those who handle the administrative activities ot the City of Newberry continues un interrupted. Keeping a finger on all phases of the city’s services, to see that they do operate effi ciently and in an uninterrupted manner, is City Manager Ed. L. Blackwell. In a general referendum held in 19+8. the citizens of Newberry voted approximately three to one for a Council-Otty Manager form of government for Newberry, and at the same time, voted to abolish the Commission of Public Works and to incorporate all of the city's services under one administrative department. Following this vote by the citl sens, city council, then headed by the late Mayor A. P. Salley, re* queeted the Newberry county leg* islative delegation to have passed by the General Assembly an Act amending the charter of the city to provide for the government re queeted by the voters. This Act was passed by the General Assam* bly in I949, and the new form ot government became effective on October 1, 1949, the beginning of the city's fiscal year. At that Uma Manager Blackwell, who held a similar poattton In Florence for the live yeara previous, became city manager of Newberry. Under the new form of govern* meat, end with a progressive city council, the HabUity*free capital aaaets of the city Increased from $989,695.61 in mt to $1.4*4,0I9,61 in 1955, a gain of $4*5,505.46 for the six year period. These assets include a white way system, elec* meal extensions, water and aeni* tary sewer extensions, street im* provements. Including drainage and paving, new equipment, build* and ings. recreation equipment, other physical assets. When the council-manager form of government was set up. an or dinance was passed creating the office of city manager ajid provid ing for his powers and duties. In condensed form, the law explains the manager's duties as follows: “He shall be the executive of ficer and head of the adminl- 1 : strative branch of the city . . . responsible to the City Council for the proper administration of all affairs of the City; he shall have power and be required to appoint and, when necessary for the good of the service, sus pend or remove all officers and employees of the City . . . “Prepare the budget annually and submit It to the Council and be responsible for its admini stration after adoption.” Making up the budget is a job that is underway throughout the year, explained Mr. Bilack well, since the budget for an ensuing year is based on current opera tions. Final preparation and as sembling of budget figures re quires about two weeks before (Continued on page 4) efforts to secure new industry for the city. In view of the fact that such a committee is presently op erating within the Chamber o f Commerce, however, a motion was made that the mayor appoint a member of council to confer with the chamber’s industrial comm ittee with view to that group co operating with a similar comm ittee to he named by the mayor. Members of the council thought this action necessary in order that there would be no duplication cf effort. Councilman Armfield was appointed by the mayor to con tact the chamber’s industrial committee in this connection. A lengthy discussion was also held about the traffic and parking situation in the city, and it was decided that the city manager should request the South Carolina highway department to make a traffic survey and to recommend controls they deem desirable. Mostly routine business occu pied the rest of council’s time. Council approved a recommen dation of the City Recreation Commission to take over the property on Vincent street now *| in use as a colored recreation cen ter as of October 1. 1956. This date was recommended so that plans for improvements to the center could be included in the budget for the next fiscal year. The city manager reported that the pumping station on Saluda River was 80 per cent complete and that the contractors had ma chinery on the ground to* begin 'installing the raw water trans mission line as soon as pipe was delivered. 'Councilmen S. D. Paysinger was appointed council’s member o n the City Recreation Commission, replacing former councilman. P. D. Holloway. Approval was given for the pur chase of 14 parking meters at a cost of $1290 tp be installed on Boyce street and McKJbben street. Council authorized that all dimes deposited in parking me ters on dates to be set by the committee on Marc i < f Dimes be given for the local Ui i e. Councilman Armfield expressed the thanks of Council for the ser vices rendered by W. W. Wl.elntt in the manner in which he las. reported proceedings of meet; -s of council in The Newberry » i- server for the past seven yi „rs. Mr. Whelan, who has accepted a position in Rock Hill with The Herald, was extended the best wishes of council in bis new (ic’d of work. He expressed his appre ciation of his seven years associa tion with council. BIRTHDAY GREETINGS CITY MANAGER ED U BLACKWELL #hown *t hi* dotk In tht tiv© of fie©*.
