Seems that one or t svo id the cis il oast's ssero nettled out of court; tho remain der continued until next term. JudRe Johnson is one of those outspoken judges who pets things done. 1 believe it was on his In sistence that the Richland county court room was finally air con ditioned, and believe me, it need ed it. I have taken hearings there when It was so hot it was almost Impossible to work and this sit- uatlon exists In many court rooms, although perhaps not quite so much ns in Columbia where the court house is jammed in the midst of the city. Judge Johnson has also been ad vocating stricter laws and pun ishment for drunken drivers and I'm right with him. Drunken driv- ing will continue to take its toll as long as the law is only par tially enforced and judges are so lenient with their sentences. , ! ! tli> <'"■!!!!' ! > ■ 1 1 i ■ ,\ 1 M I I h!

SANDERS Members of tin* Newberry Coun ty Board of Education, who have been criticized by some for the so-called •‘secrecy” of their trans actions. cordially welcomed news paper reporters at their regular monthly meeting held hist Friday night. The chairman of the Board J. S. Ritchie of Whitmire, stated that the only reason the meetings had not been reported in the past was that no effort had been made by the newspapers to report pro ceedings of the Board. Mr. Rit chie, as well as other members, expressed his pleasure in having reporters present to publish pro ceedings of the meeting in order that the public might be fully in formed and become familiar with problems facing the Board. The only delegation appearing before the Board consisted of El mer Epting and Elmer Shealy, on behalf of the parents of Newber ry high school band students. Their purpose was to further ex plain the equest made to the Board to purchase uniforms for the band members, who will par ticipate in the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington in April. Messrs Epting and Shealy explain ed that the uniforms now in use are six years old and threadbare; that some members of the band were using uniforms borrowed from the Newberry Concert hand; that, there were only 40 uniforms and 62 hand members. They point ed out that although the band is set up as part of the school curr iculum, no funds were provided for maintenance of uniforms and equipment .They presented a four part request of the Board. (1) that provision be made for uni forms; (2) that a budget be set up yearly for maintenance of all bands In all schools; (3) that immediate action on the request was urged; (4) that the group of parents be advised of action of the Board. P. K. Harmon, director of the county schools, stated that the cost would be approximately $60 per uniform and the total mini mum needs as requested by the band would cost close to $3000. Mr. Epting stated that the band members were raising funds to pay expenses of the trip to Wash ington by various means, but that an effort to solicit funds from the public to buy uniforms for the band would be futile, inasmuch as the public felt that the three per cent retail sales tax imposed for schools should bring in suffi cient funds to take care of school needs. Mr. Ritchie explained that this was a popular misconception, and that money for school purposes whs not increased by the amount brought in by the sales tax, but that some funds formerly used for school purposes were diverted to other state purposes. While all money derived from the sales tax does go for school purposes, he explained, the amount so de rived was insufficient to run the schools of the state and the dif- ference was made up from other income of the state. He reiterated that the schools do not have the revenue they formerly had, plus the sales tax money. Joseph L. Keitt, board member for the Newberry area, explained that many other schools in ad joining counties have better equip ment for their schools because of a higher tax levy and more money to run the school system. A re view of nearby counties showed that only Saluda, with a 15 mill levy, had a lower levy than New berry’s 27 mills. “We have request ed the delegation to allow us 32 mills” said Mr. Keitt. “We asked for that when the one district sys tem went into effect, but we have never been able to get more than 27 mills.” When questioned by reporters as to the reason the seven-dis trict system set up in- 3951 was changed tiie following year to a one-district system, Mr. Ritchie explained that, according to the policy to equalize schools there must be schools for all races in all school districts. The State Fi nance Commission made • a pro vision that no money would be allocated for high schools unless there was an immediate potential of 250 students; the State Depart ment of Education has placed a limitation that all high schools must have at least 200 students to continue operation. “Because there were insufficient negro stu dents in the areas to secure funds for the high schools, it was nec essary to consolidate the seven dis tricts into one, and build a high school that would accommodate all negro high school students in the county” the chairman stated. He further pointed out that several high schools for white students with less than 200 in attendance are being operated on a “year-to- year permit” and that in the near future, all white high school stu dents will attend the three high schools in the Whitmire, Newber ry and Little Mountain-Prosperity Pomaria, areas. Building of a high school for the latter area has top priority, according to board members, as soon as the matter of location can be settled. After Chairman Ritchie had ex plained that the only funds avail able for the ^toard to operate the schools, other than funds receiv ed from the state for the speci fic purposes of teacher salary, transportation, etc., Mr. Epting inquired as to whether the New berry county delegation was not aware that the schools were in such poor financial state. “We have prepared a budget each year,” said Chairman Ritchie “and each year we have asked for increased millage. With the funds we have, all we can do is barely keep the schools on the accred ited list. If more funds are not forthcoming, I am afraid it won’t be long until the schools will not be accredited.” He explained that the school’s fiscal year ends on June 30 and as of July 1 there is an “operational balance” a sum of money retained td pay teacher salaries and fuel bills in Septenw her before revenues from the State and county are received. “While we have that balance” l*e said “it seems that the delegation feels we have a surplus and there fore do not need Increased mill- age. The fact is, however, that we are running closer to the red each year. When the Board was first organized, that operational bal- Continued on page 8 Tire Slashers Are Not Fovnd No arrests have ' n made in the tire-slushing can which de veloped-. last Friday night, ac cruing to Police Chief Dowd 'tv Friday night, sometime aftei 23 tires on cars belonging to « lege students, parked on the « pus, were slashed.
