Each year about this linn- you are kept informed through thL column about the pay of teachers in South Carolina and ;n Newber ry County. I had intended a lit tle more lengthy article this week, but somethin yesterday describes i-he about as accurately as I’ve seen. If was a cai national - magazine. A 1 understand your pi teaching 1 , but what is of income?” TEACHER AGE While I won’t go farther the teacher salary busino wonder if you have noticed figures which you heard Radio Station WKDK last nesday morning and will see in this issue of The Sun as to the average age of teachers in New berry? In case you didn't, the average age at Newberry High, Junior High and the five elemen tary schools in the city is 51. Do you realize how rapidly those teachers will he retiring in the next few years? Of the 25 teach ers at Newberry High, only nine are under 40 years of ago and only six under 35. An overall check ot the elemental}, grades would probably show a worse pic ture than this. Then, when they all reach 65, what is going to hau- Dr. Baker Named Member Of Hart Surgical Society am De r y recen ar l! uiuoi 1). i alx ut It y< < i r s tut ^ ■ ig I iS l\V or Y U ! i U 1. situ all (i n \ * . any thi ng !».. 1 lakt toon in a pi IV i i (• V t lady w ils in g \\ i t h 1 the m an < t im-mher ing ‘ Y< at Duke II s s i 0 is Th,- next ur s »u 1 ce of uurgoon hi’ itir Diiy nn i will Now i n 111 hor in e nua! mo< < lit o]!oe o < ' 1 the Baker is ove r i Wet Y\ t >cto- an- * r i (■ i i -t n> pen Adult Classes Be Held At Newberry High Evening classe.-, for adults v hogin on Tuesday, h'ebruary 12 i ! - > O | >. lit.

I can’t see the young people who have left here to teach in other places for higher salaries returning unless for some 'wr- sonal reason. And those personal reasons aren’t likely to fill the vacancie-s that will he occurring soon and rapidly. The County •Board of Education and a num ber of Civic organizations have urged the county delegation to support the Moore plan to in crease teacher salaries a little over 20 percent. If you have any concern about the future of the children of this county, will you add your support and let the members of the delegation know how you feel about it? BLOODMOBILE At the time of this writing, the Bloodmobile operation has just begun at the Vincent Street Rec reation Center so of course I don’t know what the outcome will be. But I do want to take time out to congratulate S. S. Wigfall, superintendent of Gall- man High who is in charge of the recruitment; Ralph Williams who has given the operation wide spread publicity over his radio program and has helped in or ganizing the recruitment cam paign, and the many volunteers who made recruitment for this Bloodmobile visit their business. The Negro citizens are hoping to go “over the top’’ of their 100 pint quota and if hard work has anything to do with it, I feel sure they will. With a 76 pint deficit from the last Bloodmobile visit, we need to boost the supply and try to get Newberry off the em ergency blood program. A good quota on this visit will help im mensely; and by the next visit all of those who donated blood on the last two visits will be eligible to donate again, so make your plans to do so. 14 weeks, with two hoiii > ] nstrue- lion twice week • ly.

James N. Parr has done an excellent job as county chairman, as have all of the many others who have helped; among them, Mrs. Steve C. Griffith, cof fee-day chairman, and Mrs. P. M. Dennis, chairman of the Mothers’ March. To try to name everyone who took an active part, however, would be impossible, but to all those who worked as well as those who donated, “Thanks!” FAST SERVICE In this issue you will see the report of the meeting of the County Board of Education last Wednesday night, also the meet ing of the Newberry County Dele gation last Saturday. We print these stories, although they are a little “old” at this time, because we know that even though our subscribers may have already heard about them, they still like to read what happened. What I am getting around to, though, is that through the cooperation of The Sun and Radio Station WK DK, these stories were brought to you soon after they happened. The Wednesday night board meeting yd|U heard about on the 7:00 a.m. news Thursday. The County Dele gation meeting which began Sat urday morning at 10:00 was re- Garden Center Opens At Library The Garden Center Committee, Mrs. Janies C.

The Coffee party idea spread rapidly after the first one was given, said Mrs. Steve C. Griffith, coffee party chairman, ami from the 86 parties given throughout the county, $1202.40 was- collected for the March of Dimes campaign. 'Phis was the largest source of revenue for the March of Dimes fund, which this year reached the higest point ever under the chairmanship of James X. Parr, $5890.32 with a conser vative estimate of $180.00 still to come in. Mrs. Griffith stated today that -he is very pleased with the res ults of the coffee parties, and ex pressed her appreciation to all of those who gave parties and to members of the committee who Mrs. James Dominick, of M.

County Appropriation May Run Short Says Supervisor The small attendance at the county-wide public meeting of the county legislative delegation last Saturday would indicate that few citizens have favors to ask of their representatives in the Gen eral Assembly. The court-room was less than half filled as Sena tor R. Aubrey Harley, and Repre sentatives T. William Hunter and Jesse Fiank Hawkins presented themselves to hear from their con stituents any requests or com plaints. There were a few pres ent, perhaps expecting to hear a discource on the teacher pay raise issue; however, that ques tion was skirted except for a promise from Senator Harley and Rep. Hawkins to “do all we can for the teachers,” A comparative ly salary scale between teachers of North Carolina and this state was presented the delegation by Miss Julia Kibler, teacher at New berry High School. A group from the Mt. Bethel Garmany section asked the dele gation for $1000 to put running- water and bathrooms into the com munity center. Wilbur Epps stated that the old school building be longs to the county and was leas ed by the community for 30 years; that mucL work had already been done by the community but that funds for the water were not available. Another item discussed was the bill to establish a cancer nursing home in South Carolina for the care of terminal patients. Speak ing on behalf of this project were Mrs. B. V. Chapman, legislative chairman of the Councy Council of Farm Women, Mrs. Edna Fea- gle, director of the county depart ment of public welfare; Mrs. Sa die Crooks, president of the Busi ness and Professional Women’s Club, Mrs. Naomi Epting, repre senting the B&PW, and George Ward, master of Hartford Grange. They all urged passage of the bill and were hacked by Mrs. L. G. McCullough, president of the American Legion Auxiliary and Mrs. Parnell Ringer, County Can cer Commander. • Senator Harley stated that dur ing his previous service in the House of Representatives, he in troduced a hill to establish such a home and that the late J. Kess Derrick offered to give Little Mountain for the home to be built on. The hill did not pass, said Senator Harley. Mrs. Chapman, on behalf of the County Council of Farm Women, also urged the delegation to es tablish a juvenile and domestic re lations court in Newberry County or in conjunction with other coun ties in the Eighth Judicial Circuit. (Continued on page 4) Presbytery Met Here On Tuesday B? Mrs. A. H. Counts NEWBERRY, FEB. 5 — The an- ual winter meeting of the South Carolina Presbytery was held to day in Aveleigh Presbyterian Church of Newberry of which the Rev. Neil E. Truesdell is pastor. The meeting was opened with a sermon hy the Rev. R. L. Alexan der of Greenwood, moderator who presided. During the business session reports were given on the var ious phases of the work of the church. The Sacrament on the Lord’s Supper was administered by the Rev. S. T. Lipsey of New berry apd the Rev. W. Ted Jones of Columbia with elders of Avel eigh church assisting. Mr. Lipsay who has served as pastor of Smyrna and Little River Dominick Churches in Newberry County for the past several years was dismissed to Harmony Presby tery and has accepted a call to the pastorate of Pitts Memorial Pres byterian Church in Sumter. The Rev. W. T. Jones, synod director of Christian education, was elected moderator succeeding Mr. Alex ander. The Rev. D. B. Seabrook of Ninety Six was elected perma nent clerk succeeding Mr. Lipsay. Approximately 70 ministers and elders from all of the Presbyter ian Churches in Newberry, Lau rens, Greenwood and Abbeville Counties which compose the Pres bytery attended the meeting.

Bloodmobile Gets 75 Pints Tuesday On the Tuesday visit of the Red Cross Bloodmobile, sponsored by the Negroes of Newberry, 75 pints of blood were collected and there were 30 rejections, according to S. 8. Wigfall, who was chairman of the recruitment program for this Bloodmobile visit. The Tues day visit brought in 51 more pints than were collected on the last bloodmobile operation in Newber ry, when only 24 pints were col lected, helping to cause a short age in the Columbia Blood Cen ter, placing Newberry on an em ergency blood basis. Prof. Wigfall expressed his deep appreciation to those who assist ed in Tuesday’s operation, espec ially to Ralph Williams, Radio Station WKDK and the Newberry newspapers for publicity given the Bloodmobile visit; to Dr. and Mrs. J. E. Grant; to those who presented themselves to donate blood; to the volunteer workers who assisted during the operation and who helped to recruit donors. The Newberry Business and Professional Women’s Club and the County Council of Farm Wo men will jointly sponsor the Can cer Crusade which will take place in April, according to Mrs. Par- nelle Ringer, County Cancer Com mander. The B&PW Club, with Mrs. Sadie L. Crooks, president, will conduct the drive in the city, and the County Council, Mrs. Hen ry Parr, president, will have charge of the county drive, work ing with the Home Demonstra tion clubs. Both of these organizations have long been active in civic pro jects, and representatives of both express pleasure in taking an ac tive part in such a vital program as that of the American Cancer Society. Through education, research and service in the past, accord ing to Mrs. Ringer, the statis tics for cancer cures have been changed from hope for a cure for one in four, to one in three. “We hope to change that figure to ‘hope for all’ through our crusades,” she said. Last year, Newberry County raised $3519.00 in the war against the nation’s number two killer from disease. Of that amount, $2600 was collected in the Com munity Chest Campaign, $500 sent from the United Fund of Whit mire, and the remainder collected through individual memberships in the Society. “This year our aim is to raise even more than that,” said Mrs. Ringer x “and we feel that when the month of April has gone by, we will be able to say our aim was not a dream, but a reality.” The following will be steering the campaign in the city for the BPW: Mrs. Jenny Moon, chairman; Mrs. Myra Addy, Mrs. Sylvia Ra bin, Mrs. Naomi Epting, Mrs. Ruby Abrams, Mrs. Mary Devore and Mrs. Dorotha Schumpert. In charge of the rural campaign will be Mrs. A. P. Ramage Jr., chairman; Mrs. William Dehart, Mrs. Govan Sease, Mrs. Hubert Bedenbaugh, Mrs. W. W. Watkins, Mrs. Lambeit Riser, Mrs. G. H. Caldwell, Mrs. A. N. Crosson Jr., Mrs. E. W. Sheely, Mrs. Everette Graham, Mrs. Cyril Halfacre, M rs. W. E. Senn, Mrs. Clarence Miller, Mrs. W. E. Wicker, Mrs. H. C. Martin Jr., Mrs. Jeff Metts, Mrs. W. L. Buzhardt and Mrs. Henry L. Parr. Workers in Prosperity, Peak and other areas will be announc ed later. Mrs. Ringer also announced that Mary Alice Baker and John Wesley Sligh have accepted the chairmanships for the Colored division of the Cancer campaign. In accepting this work, the co- chairmen are looking forward to working for such a worthy cause, said the county commander. Work ers in this division will be an nounced at a later date. 1957 Valentine Queen Be Chosen Saturday Night, February 16; Many Vie For Title Th 1957 Newberry Valentine Queen will be chosen on Saturday night, February 16th, in the an nual Queen of Hearts contest sponsored by the Civic League.
