“Are you a Litterbug? Do you

along our highways and fields?
"Over a period of years, there
have been tremendous changes by
nature and by man in America’s
scenery, parks, vacation areas and
highways. Do you want v to make
your own beautiful country unat
tractive by being a Litterbug?,,..
"I’m '.fare tqost of us, wouldn’t

around our bonnes. „^Vhy t .dQ you
dispose of this waste along our
highways and other public places?
Remember, others use these high
ways, parks and public places as
well as you do.
"Not only does a Utterbug make
our country unattractive, but it is
very unhealthy. Various kinds of
insects will lay their eggs in these
cans, paper and trash. This faay

living near these areas.
"Remember, you will be in your
place when you put paper and
trash in Its place, Don’t be.a Lit

Silverstreeters
Would Keep Their
High School
The patrons of Silverstreet
school, arouSed by the possibility
of retaining a high school in their
area, turned out in large numbers
to attend the public meeting call
ed last Thursday evening by the
Silverstreet Advisory Board, Jeff
Waldrop, chairman of the Bo#rd,
presided.
Mr. Waldrop stating the purpose
of the meeting said "... is tq try
to get the patrons together and
see whether anything .can be done
to save the high school at Silver-
street.” He went on to say “our
neighbors (referring to Bush Riv
er) started work to save theirs.”
Richard C. Neel, Jr., member of
the Newberry County Board ol
Education from the Silverstreet
area, reviewed the county board
meeting of February 28, an ac
count of which was contained in
last week’s Sunpaper and told the
gioup “the inference was made
that our school was in apqord”
with closing Silverstreet high and
allowing the students to go to
Bush River High..
“I came back and told the ad
visory Board what had taken
place,” Mr. Neel continued, “and
it is on their advice that you are
here.”
John Grady Long, area super
intendent, then read the 13 page
statement which was presented to
the County Board by Bush River
representatives last week. Those
Silverstreet patrons who had at
tended the county board meeting
in company with the Bush River
group explained that the only
reason they joined that group was
that they had been told the Sil
verstreet school was definitely
closing, and they were interested
in having a rural school to which
they could send their children.
Mr. Neel explained that until
recently, the county board mem
bers had been under the impres
sion that no school could be ac
credited or built with a student
potential of less than 250. In the
light of recent information that
schools with less than 250 stu
dents had been accredited, he ex
plained that members of the board
were going to Columbia to talk
with officials of the State De
partment of Education and The
State Finance Commission to find
if there was any possible way to
retain the rural schools in the
county.
