SOMETHING NEW Something new has been added up at Newberry College and it both looks and sounds fine. It is the marching band, under the di rection of Char lie Pruitt. I don’t recall that New berry has ever had a marching band, although they have had orchestras in the past. We rode by the stadium Tuesday after noon and our lit- Mr*. Sander* tie girls heard the music—and when they hear a band, there is nothing to do but let them stop and see, so we had a preview of what you may see at the college homecoming game, if the uniforms arrive in time. The band got off to a small start last year with about 15 members, I believe. This year, there are 28 members and eight majorettes and Charlie has done a fine job with them. So you may be on the look out, here are their names: Toni McCullough, Harold F. Kirkland, James B. Leopard, Dian M. Sch- reffler, David Yount, James A. Moody, Richard Johnstone Salley, Jewel Ellen Buesch, Walter R. Durant, Richard E. Carter, Her bert Lee Gilliam, Robert Bouk- night, William Gerald Polk, Mel vin D. Price, Robert Benjamin Burnett, William W. Finch, M. Edwin Dodge, Julian L. Hicks, Walter A. Leopard, Charles Pri- vette, John M. Davis, L. E. Co ker, James David Horton, John C. Lee, Horace Mitchell Ward, Jerry Elvin Peterson, William Bulst Farmer, Ralph C. Gilliam, Linda Beth Bradshaw, Linda Ann Craig, Joyce Yvonne Pruitt, Let- itia Ann Haltiwanger, Linda June Hanna, Ann Whitfield Summers, and Alice Joyce Merchant. SOMETHING ELSE NEW If you are interested in auto mobiles you have plenty to read in this issue of The Sun about all the 1957 models just coming on the market, along with pictures of some of them. I’ve looked at several new styles, and all I can say is that they get prettier all the time and if I had the money I would buy one of each. As it is we just try to keep gasoline in our old 1951 Rambler. But what I started out to say is that once every four or five years, one of the manufacturers comes out with a startingly different car and that is what happened to one of the can I saw in a “sneak preview” the other day down at Smith Mo tor company.

Reedy River WMU Elects Officers The annual session of the Reedy River Women’s Missionary I nion was held Tuesday night in the First Baptist Church of Newber ry. The entire program was de veloped around the theme “From Strength to Strength.’’ The key note address was given by Mrs. J. F. Burress of Lancaster, state president of the Women’s Mission ary Union, whose topic was “Strong In Faith.” The opening devotion was given by Mrs. Ray Linville at the first session and by Mrs. Arthur Coch- eroft and Mrs. Jack Goodwin at the session immediately following supper. Reports were given by leaders in each department of the WMU. Mrs, Alvin Hipp had charge of the memorial service. Solos were rendered by Mrs. La mar Lightsey of Rock Hill and Miss Joyce Pruitt of Newberry, with M. E. Smith as organist. The prayer of dedication was given by Mrs. J. E. Smith. The missionary message was brought by Mrs. Lloyd Neil, mis sionary to Nigeria, the oldest mis sion field now open. “Of the 193 million people in Nigeria only 21 million have embraced the Christ ian religion,” Mrs. Neil said. Ni gerians are becoming more con scious of education and schools are being established in many areas. Parents are so anxious for their children to become educated that education has almost become a god with them.” “There is much need for nurses as there is great poverty and di sease,” she continued. “There are now over 200 Baptist Mission aries in Nigeria and Southern Baptist are baptizing 5,000 to 6,- 000 people each year. More mis sionary work has been accom plished in Nigeria in the past several years than in all of the other 95 years since mission work began there.” There are 700 spoken languages in Nigeria but the whole Bible has only been translated in 200 lan guages. All present officers of Reedy River Missionary Union were re elected for another year. They are Mrs. D. W. Satterfield, president; Mrs. I. M. Smit*, vice president; Mrs. Clifford Smith, secretary, and Mrs. Adrian Summer, treas urer. The next annual meeting will be held at Hurricane Baptist church. tm wm Ip!

Furman Alumni To Gather November 3 Furman University alumni from Newberry county have a special invitation to attend the annual Homecoming Day festivities on the Furman campus Saturday, November 3rd, President John L.

There will also be a meeting of the al umni association’s board of di rectors and alumni council. The Pure Oil company will ag ain seek the permission of city council to construct a gasoline service station at the corner of Main and Walnut streets when council meets in regular session on November 13. The oil company submitted such a request to council at a special meeting several months ago.There was opposition at the time, and action was postponed until the regular meeting of council in September. At the regular meet ing it was announced that the company had withdrawnt is re quest for permission to build for Hurricane Dies Under Force Of Indian Power The passing of quarterback Steve Peterson and halfback Tyler Dufford, kept Newberry’s Indians on the prowl as they piled up two touchdowns in the second period and then fought off two threats by Furman’s Hurricane for a 13-7 victory last Saturday night in Sirrine Stadium before about 3,- 000. Peterson’s passing wing was razor-sharp, accounting for both of the Indian’s touchdowns as Newberry struck through the aerial route in the first half and then stayed mostly on the ground during the final two periods. It was Newberry’s first victory against two ties and two lose*, while Furman took its N fourth loss without a victory this season. In the air, Peterson hit on three of seven attempts for 58 yards. It was Dufford’s passes, three of four for 47 yards, which kept the an indefinite period of time. Notice that permission was again being requested was made station. In view of the fact that a per mit was granted the Gulf Oil in a letter to council from Pope; company to erect a station at and Schumpert, attorneys. The letter states that permission to erect the station was being sought on behalf of the Pure Oil com pany and the owner of the prop erty, Albert G. McCaughrin and others; that the company had agreed to purchase the property and the owner had agreed to sell it, but neither wanted to com plete the transaction until there was assurance that the company would be permitted to erect the drives. Dufford also proved to be the Indian’s top ground gainer, netting 81 yards in 17 tries. Halfback Jerry Penland was Furman’s big threat, clicking off 112 yards rushing in 18 attempts. Freshman halfback Jim Jennings, also accounted for 44 yards in 10 running tries. Newberry topped the Hurricane in passing with 105 yards to 42, piling up all of those yards in the air during the first half. Furman held the edge in first downs, 15 to 12. The Hurricane also banged out 203 yards rush ing, piling up 134 yards in the final half. The Indians’ first scoring march covered 68 yards Peterson’s. 18-yard aerial to end Jim Fraser climaxing the spree early in the second period. Newberry drove 61 yards to its second touchdown in four quick plays after getting a fumble on its own 39. Peterson’s 43-yard toss to end Bobby Stokes on the % dead run concluded for the TD. Wy man Taylor added the point after- Newberry’s first score. Halfback Penland’s 11-yard sprint set the Hurricane off on its the corner of Main and Calhoun streets, the letter continued, it seemed improbable that council would refuse the request of the Pure Oil company. The attorneys assured members of council that the station would be extremely modern and in keep ing with the neighborhood. They requested that publicity be given the matter prior to the next reg ular meeting of council, so that (Continued on page 5) Indians moving in their scoringtouchdown drive, after , getting a Sims Be Quest Speaker At Kiwanians Farmers Night Graveside Rites For Miss Moon Funeral services for Miss Sarah Lark Moon, 79, daughter of the late Franks Moon and Catherine Lane Moon, were held at the graveside in Rosemont cemetery here Sunday, conducted by the Rev.

Penland went across from the one several plays later. End Ray Siminski converted. Switching to the “I” formation, the Hurricane began to blow ub a real Jbreeze after Newberry’s first score on a 56-yard drive which faded out at the Indian’s four- yard line. Halfback Jerry Po land looked like he might go kll the way as he sailed for 30 yards before being hauled from behind at the four, and the Hurricane stalled as a fourth down passing attempt failed. Again in the third period, Fur man started from its 18 and mov ed swiftly for 69 yards only to have tfts wind run out this time at Newberry’s 13. Penland added an 18-yard jaunt in this march but quarterback Billy Baker’s fourth down pass, with the Hurri cane inches shy of a first down, failed and the Indians took over on downs.

PTA Told Citizens Neglect Duties Area Superintendent C. E. Hen drix held the attention of a fair sized Parent-Teacher association audience on Monday night, Octo ber 15, in the school auditorium. His subject was “The Family and the Community Should Ac cept Their Civic Responsibility.” “It is the duty of each person to be proud of his community and country and hand down this heri- ( tage to his children,” the speaker said. “People are too lax on their civic responsibility. It is alarm ing to know how few people go out and cast a ballot. Foreigners always make sure to vote because they are proud of their hard-earn ed citizenship. Unless Americans do a better jpb than they have done in the last 50 years, all may lose this heritage.’ ’ Statistically he reported, “In South Carolina, a beginning A g’-ade teacher makes $1980 com pared with $2700 in North Caro lina.” “The. legislature will listen to the people,*^ commented Mr. Hendrix “and if nothing is said* they think everyone is satisfied.” The Rev. Paul Scott, pastor of Wightman church, conducted the devotions. Blackwell, Beam Attend Meeting City Manager Ed Blackwell and Fire Chief Sam Beam attended the district meeting of the x South Carolina Municipal Association held last Wednesday in Abbeville. About 300 attended the meeting, at which Mayor Henry G. Harris of Abbeville was host. The meet ing and luncheon were held in the Abbeville armory. Among those who participated were Chief Highway Commission er C. R. McMillan, who explained the federal interstate highway program. Other topics discussed were so cial security for policemen and firemen, on which a referendum is pending; federal aid to sewage disposal plants, and clarifying in surance laws. Mr. Blackwell par ticipated on the panel in the latter discussion. The Pomaria area school advis ory board told members of the County Board of Education Tues day night they didn’t see “how they could accept anything less’” than a new cafeteria building for the Pomaria school. At the meet ing were advisory board mem bers Tommy Crooks, Eric Long, David Leroy Wedaman, David Luther Ruff, and Olin Lominick. On hand to answer questions also was Area Supt. R. H. Setzler. Mr. Lominick, acting as spokes man for the group, told the board the Pomaria patrons were very concerned about the cafeteria sit uation. He stated that the school was feeding 303 children in a room which measured about 25x 25 feet and the luncheon schedule ran from 10:45 a. m. until 1:00 p. m. before all could be fed. He brought out the fact that immediately adjacent to both the kitchen and the lunchroom were rest rooms and that the children had, with just cause, complained of this situation. He fold the Board that while the county was still in a seven- unit system, the Pomaria district had almost sufficient funds to build a cafeteria, having saved on operating expenses because of funds contributed by the P. T. A., and planned to have contractors bid on the construction of a cafe teria. The district had about $15,000, he said, and felt it wo«J0 be able to raise the additional amount needed for the building. “About that time,” continued Mr. Lominick, “the hammer fell on us just as it did on everyone else and the county was made in to a one-district system.” “The ladies of the P. T. A.,” the speaker told the board, “are up in arms about this thing. They feel, and we feel we are due something, because of the efforts they put forth to save this mo ney >» Johnny Epps Receives God And Country Scout Award Eagle Scout Johnny Epps, son of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Epps of Newberry, was awarded the God and Country Award by the Rev. M. E. Derrick, pastor of Central church, at the morning service on October 21. Scout Epps became a Tender foot Scout in August 1950; Sec ond class, October 1950; First Class, May 1951; Star, Septem ber 1951; Life, April 1962; Eagle, October 1952; Bronze Palm, Ap ril 1953; Gold Palm, October 1953 and Silver Palm, April 1954. He was voted Honor Scout, highest award of the troop, in May 1954, became a member of the Order of the Arrow in 1955 and attend ed the World Jamboree in Canada in August 1955. He has served as Den Chief, Patrol Leader, Troop Quartermaster, and Camp Bugler at Camp Old Indian. Since Janu ary 1955 he has served as Sen ior Patrol Leader of his troop. He is a member of Troop 66, sponsored by the Newberry Lions Backed up by other members of the advisory board, he told the county board “we want a cafe teria erected from the ground up.” He explained that the old building, erected in 1912 was de teriorating, and said he felt that money spent trying to remodel a portion of that would be money wasted.” The area does not want to give up the classrooms in its new building for a lunchroom,” he said, “because we feel that we will have insufficient classrooms in the future if this is done.” Mr. Lominick told the board that the only thing Pomaria has gotten, in addition to minor re pairs, is a heating system sihee the county was consolidated into one unit. He concluded by telling the board, “I don’t envy you your jobs, but I do wish you would think this through seriously, and we would like to have the oppor tunity to meet back with you if anything other than what we have suggested is decided.” No aption was taken by the Board on the matter after the delegation departed. The only other matter coming before the board concerned viola tion of rules and regulations gov erning the operation of school buses. R. H.
