Card Of Thanks
To be returned to the office of Magistrate District

confidence in my service to them.

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

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

The appointment was announc

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

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

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!"
The health department pointed
out that according to state law.
each dog owner must present his
pet for vaccination against rabies
once a ^’ear. The certificate of j
