Vets Told NSLI
To Be Expensive
World War II veterans who
still have not converted nearly
3.500,000 GI TERM policies will
pay higher premiums and receive
generally lower dividends every
five years they renew their poli
cies in the fuaure.
J. Ed SJmith, contact officer of
the Veterans Administration reg
ional office at Columbia said this
widening spread between premium
costs and dividend returns will
result in a sharply higher net cost
to the term policyholders with
every five-year renewal.
“For that reason,” Mr. Smith
said. “World War II veterans with
five-year term policies should
seriously consider converting to
permanent plans of GI insurance
with level, or non-changing, prem
iums and with only slight varia
tion in dividend rates.
In addition to the virtually sta
tionary net cost of peiimanent GI
insurance plans, Mr. Smith said,
these policies have certain values
which term policies do not have,
such as cash surrender value, loan
value, and extended insurance
value. He said a term policy by
contrast merely insures against
death for only as long asprem-
iums are timely paid.
Concerning the increasing net
cost of term policies in the future,
Mr. Smith said World War II vet
erans today average 37 years of
age Term policies renewed a t
that age, ho said, require a prem
ium of $7.90 a month for a $10,-
000 policy. The current dividend
return for this policy is $5.50 a
month, resulting in a net cost of
$2.40 per month to the policy hol
der.
Ten years later, when the veter
an is 47 and his term policy is re
newable for the second time in
the 10 year period, the premium
will rise to $10.80 a month and
the dividend rate will drop to $3.90
a month, boosting the net cost per
imonth to $6.90, Mr. Smith said.
This upward premium cost and
downward dividend return will
continue every five years until,
at age 62, the premium cost will
be $30.70 a month and the divid
end return $3 a month, swelling
the net cost to $27.70 a month.
Mr. Smith said the current div
idend rates for term policies do
not change after age 60, but the
premium rates continue to rise
thereafter, which, in effect, con
tinues the upward spiral of net
cost. He said this trend makes
the net cost almost prohibitive in
the upper age brackets when the
earning power of policyholders
may begin to decline.
“Yet,” he explained, “the term
policy still will cover only against
death and only so long as prem
iums are timely paid. There are
no reserve values in a term policy
on which to fall back when the
policyholder is no longer able to
pay the premiums. A permanent
plan policy, on the other hand,
does have reserve values.”
Mr. Smith said World War IT
veterans who desire further infor
mation concerning conversion of
their policies should contact their
nearest veterans administration
office.

Rangrs Prepare
For Forest Fires
In 1945 the Legislature passed
the State-wide Fire Protection
Act which provided for intensive
fire protection measures in all of
the South Carolina counties. Be
fore this, there was only partial
fire protection provided to wood
land owners by the S. C. State
Confmission of Forestry,, and un
told numbers of wild fires burn
ed with little concern of anyone.
Following the passing of this Act
fire towers were constructed in
all counties to afford proper de
tection. Also wardens were ap
pointed to help the landowners
suppress fires.
The two main causes of fires in
Newberry county for the past 5
years were smokers and brush
burners. Careless smokers caused
46 per cent of all fires in the
county while brush burning caus
ed 25 per cent. Other causes con
tributing to fire losses are incin-
diary, railroads, campers, lum
bering, lightning and a group of
miscellaneous caused fires. All of
these, except lightning, are man
caused, which could be prevented.
Protection to land owners i s
being intensified within the New
berry district and Newberry coun
ty. Funds have ben provided
whereby radio communication
can be installed in the fire towers
and vehicles of Commission per
sonnel. By the use of radio, per-
sonel receive calls for fire sup
pression much quicker, without
having to stand-by telephones. At
the same time they are able to
carry on fire prevention activities
without being out of contact with
the fire tower. At the present ra
dios are being installed in the ve
hicles of the Newberry wardens.
The Silverstreet tower and Pros
perity tower and District office
have had radio communication for
some time.
Marvin E. Wilson is the County
Ranger in Newberry county, and
assisting him are two wardens;
W. D. Longshore who is respon
sible for the Silverstreet section
and James Mills who is responsi-
Indians Play At
Home Field Today
Before the Indians take off for
the spring holidays, they will
make a two-game home stand on
Wednesday, March 28 against
Ohio university, and Thursday,
March 29 against Davidson college
of North Carolina. The contests
are slated to begin at 3 p. m.
Coach "Red” Burnette is unde
cided as to who will be the start
ing pitcher for the Tribe, but
with lefthanders, John O’Cain, A1
Hill, Larry Patrick and Bobby
Shealy, and righthanders Russell
Stoudemire, and Sonny Dugan,
ready to go, he must make a good
choice.
The Indians will field a well ex
perienced team with Charlie
Brown at first, Ebbie McElveen
at second, Richard Phillips at
shortstop, and Tyler Dufford at
third. In the outfield lettermen
Julian Pratt and Claude Myers
will hold down left and center

Rotary Ladies
Enjoy Dinner
A large number of members
and guests enjoyed Ladies Night
of the Newberry Rotary Club
last Friday at the Community
Hall. Serving as toastmaster was
Rev. Neil Truesdell. James Parr
welcomed the ladies and a re
sponse was made by Virginia Pay-
singer.
Guests were introduced by
Philip Kelly. Entertaining the
group during the evening were
Paul LaRosa and Tally Kelly
of Columbia. LaRosa, a former
student at Newberry College,
and vocalist with the Newberry
College “N” orchestra sang a
group of selections and led group
singing.
The ladies were presented with
favors of lipstick cases adorned
by the Rotary emblem.

ble for the Prosperity section. Al
so assisting the ranger and ward
ens are two tower operators, Mrs.
Mary D. Taylor of Silverstreet and
Elmer Boozer at Prosperity tower.
In order to keep timbeland po-
ductive, fire must be kept out of
the woods. The fire fighting forces
of the Commission of Forestry
are not a “fire department” but
depend on the cooperation of vol
unteers and the landowner to put
out his fire. Fire prevention and
suppression is everybody’s job.
If at any time there is a fire in
the woods, landowners should call
the following: ,

SELMA, ALA.—Milton and Min
nie Lucy,69-year old Negro couple,
told a reporter here the figbt of
their daughter, Autherine, to at
tend the University of Alabama
violated every principle of her 18
years training at home.
’ We raised 10 head of children,
nine of them still living,” Mr.
Lucy said, “and everyone of them
was taught to stay their distances
from white folks, but to give them
all their respect. If Autherine has
changed from this, she didn’t get
her new ideas from home.”
. Miss Lucy, 26 years old, was
admitted to the previously all-
white University of Alabama at
Tuscaloosa, Ala., Feb. 1 by Fed
eral court order. She now is ask
ing i the same court to give her
another order forcing the school
to take her back following her
exclusion Feb. 6 by the university
trustees as a safety measure.
Demonstrations broke out Feb.
3 and continued Feb. 4 and Feb.
6, in protest against her presence
on the campus.
First Negro Student
T’ve been studying and study
ing over all of it,” Mr. Lucy said
of his daughter. “And I can’t fig
ure how or why it hit her to
strike the match on this thing.”
Miss Lucy was the first negro
student in the university’s 125-
year history.
“She was born and raised right
down here in these woods,” Mr.
Lucy continued, “and it looks like
to me she ought to be the last
one to get in a mess like that.
“Why, I keep asking myself,
out of all the colored folks In
Alabama, did this have to fall to
my baby daughter's lot?” Mr.
Lucy said he was in Birmingham,
about 120 miles north of the Shi
loh community where he lives, and
where Miss Lucy now lives, “when
all that egg throwing took place.”
“I told her,” he said, ‘Td pre
fer you going somewhere else and
not going through all the danger
of staying up there. If it can’t
come to be agreeable, it won't
came to anything.
’Displeasing’ To Lord
“The Lord is a man that be
lieves in things being peaceful. He
says in the Bible to ‘shun the
very presence of evil.' If Author
ine’s going to school up there is
going to bring confusion, it will
be displeasing in the Lords sight.”
Mr. Lucy said he had tried
“every way I know how” to dis
cuss the problem with his daugh
ter when he was in Birmingham,
(Continued from page 1)
COUNTY ED. BOARD . . .
that in the county syste&m there
were 16 such teachers; that six
would be required to teach only
one year extra, the remaining
ten either one and one-half or
two years. The Board voted to
allow those 16 (teachers to con
tinue “if the teacher is physically
fit and has a current health cer
tificate” until he or she can
qualify for social security ben
efits.
The subjects of closing tha
Whitmire teacherage came up for
discussion and the Board voted
to “carry out the wishes of the
Whitmire Advisory board, and
the Aragon Baldwin Mill (which
owns the teacherage) as to
whether to continue it in oper
ation.
Election of teachers for the
city and county schools was
postponed until a special meeting
of the Board which will be held
on Friday night, April 13.
but that she “seemed to be in a
deep study. About all I could get
out of her was that as long as
she had been admitted, she wants
to go through with it.”
Mrs. Lucy was asked how she
felt about her daughter’s actions.
“I can’t sleep and I can't half
eat, I’m so worried,” she said
* i
“Every time a car drives up, and
a stranger gets out, I'm afraid
he’s come to tell us something
bad has happened. That’s what 1
thought about you.
“1 wish Autherine would come
on home to live with us or else
go to some school that’s all right
tor colored folks.”
She added that the last time
her youngest daughter “was home
she talked like her tnind was way
off somewhere else.”
The couple said they had known
nothing of Miss Lucy’s attending
classes at the University until
they had read it in the paper.Mr.
Lucy added:
“Before all this came up, I had
plenty of white friends that 1 could
go to their house and knock on
their door any hour of the night
I needed help, hut I wouldn’t do
it now.
“If there was something I could
do to correct all this twixt now
and sundown, I’d sure do it.”
Mr. Lucy asked if he knew of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
said he had “read about it,” and
then asked what it was.
His daughter’s suit is one of a
series sponsored by the N. A. A.
C. P. in it’s' fight to end segregat
ion.
No Comment By Daughter
TALLADEGA, Ala., Feb. 25
The president of the college
where Miss Lucy is a guest de
clined today to convey a request
for comment from her on the in
terview with her parents.
Dr. Arthur D. Gray, Talladega
College president, after listening
to about half of the interview
read over the telephone, declined
to convey the request for comment
to * Miss Lucy. She has been a
guest of the college since Feb. 14.
Reminded that she would see
the interview in the newspapers
Dr. Gray referred the questioner
to Arthur D. Shores, Miss Lucy’s
attorney at Birmingham.
Mr. Shores also declined to
eonvev the request for comment
to Miss Lucy. He said she was
“trying to rest and study.”
