It has been my purpose to enforce the law fairly within the confines of my office, and it is pleasing to know that the most law abiding people in this District have confidence in my service to them. BEN F. DAWKINS Miller Leaves Coaching Post Barney Miller, who for the past two years has been assistant foot ball and baseball coach, and head boys basketball coach at Newber- ryry High School, has declined the offer of. a position as head foot ball coach at the school, accord ing to an announcement made re cently by Supt. J. V. Kneece. “We are very sorry that Mr. Miller is leaving us," said the superintendent. “His services have been entirely satisfactory and we would like to have him stay here, but he has' been offered a better job than we could offer, and we wish for him every suc cess in his new assignment.” Coach Miller stated that he has accepted a job as head coach at a Class A school in another part of the state, and requested that no mention be'made of the school un til such time as school officials in that county had relea'sed the information. A native of Summerville, Mr. Miller is a graduate of Erskine College in the class of 1954. , He xm ou+itaadiar Htrtmx ;Urge rsresr. . -a*ret having 9 jearo New berry.** Coach Miller said. “I have made many friends here and it will be hard to leave; however, I feel that I should make every ef fort to advance myself inasmuch as I intend to remain a coach as long as possible.” Harry Hedgepath, who has been head coach at Newberry High for many years, will next year become director of athletics for the school. A new position has been set up for a head football coach, | who will be required, in addition to coaching duties, to teach at least four and possibly five sub jects during the regular school day. Mr. Kneece stated that he has several applications for the job, but that the Advisory Board had not yet selected a person for the position. Willingham On Trends Committee J. K. Willingham, secretary and treasurer of the Newberry Feder al Savings and Loan Association of Newherry, has been appointed a member of the 1956 Trends and Economic Policies Committee of the United States Savings and Loan League.

BY THE WAY— (Continued from Page 1) and teachers and to hope that the schools will remain on the State's accredited list on that basis. Something must be done, and in a hurry. Teachers in these schools are tired of the indecision and are seeeking more permanent places. Children are not concentrating on studies as they should, wondering what is in store for them another year. Area superintendents have no idea what kinds of plans to make at this time, when plans should be in the making for the next school session. If consolidation is to come, the patrons of these schools, except Little Mountain, asked for it. They didn’t consider the importance of the “small” school then; they find theirs are the “small schools” now. A CRYING SHAME I’ve been away from the teacher salary subject for a few weeks now, thinking that possibly those of you who are not teachers might be a little tired of it, but once in a while something comes across this desk that justifiably, I think, causes me to become irritated all over again. The item in front of me just now concerns the fact that the Merit Sys tem Council of South Carolina Employment Security Com mission has announced open competitive examinations in June for high school graduates in the classifications of Clerk, Typist and Stenographer. Present salary range for these jobs, says the news release, is $2379 to $3120 a year. Please note that a high school graduate who can pass a fairly simple mental test for a clerk’s job will be paid a minimum of $2379 a year. Do you know that a school teach er with a bachelor’s degree and* a master's degree gets only $5.00 more than that a year? The state aid for such a teach er, is $2079, the county supplement $315, making a total of $2384. And that is for the bedt teacher obtainable, because that is the salary for the teacher who made an “A” on the teacher's examination. A teacher without a master's degree with an “A” certificate gets $2250 a year; and one with a “B” certificate, which incidentally accounts for about half of the teachers in the county, makes only $2151. I had some of these figures in this column several weeks ago, and a friend of mine wfoo is a student at Newberry College, ma joring in education, was inclined to think I just drew the figures out of thin air; he didn’t believe teachers were so poorly paid and decided he had better change his major. The figures came from the office of the County Superintendent of Education, as I told him, adding that if he expected any further aid from the state or the county, as matters now looked, he might just as well change his college course as of now. There certainly seems to be no future for teachers in this state. EASTER PARADE No one is helping the teachers, but perhaps they could go into other fields of endeavor and help themselves. It does me good to see those who cannot help themselves get ting aid. I refer to the crippled children of our state, and would like to tell you that the Girl Scouts ofNewberry will be selling Easter lilies on the streets of Newberry this coming Saturday. The sale will begin wlith a parade down Main Street of the Scouts and the High School Band about 10:00 o’clock. The scouts will be in town all day, and chances are they won’t miss you, but if they do, you will be able to buy your lily at booths in the Ritz Theater and near the Chamber of Commerce. Mrs. P. K. Harmon, county chair man of the Easter Lily sale for the benefit of crippled children, urges you to contribute as generously as you can and I join with her in the plea. Card of Thanks I ■ Thanks again, good people of Newberry County for the compli ment paid me in returning me to the office of Coroner without op position. I will continue to serve you as best I can. The best of everything to all of you. George R. Summer Rabies Clinic Schedule Schedules for the 1956 rabies vaccination program in Newberry County were announced this week by the Newberry County Health Department. The program begins March 19 and will run through Ap ril 3rd. Health department officials said that the clinics would be set up in various parts of the county by the sanitarian of the local health de partment and would be manned by members of the veterinary pro fession of South Carolina. “Only those official clinics should be used," department offi cials cautioned. “In some instan ces unauthorized persons have held clinics similar to the official ones. However, only the official clinics, with veterinarians per forming the inoculations are auth orized to give the official certifi cate of vaccination!"
