Roy Summer, Inc “THE MAN’S SHOP” Main Street Newberry BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER Twice our ball game was brok en up by losing the balL We seldom had more than one, as we were coming up in the Stone 'Hills of the Dutch Fork. AJ1 would chip in and buy that. - And we’d use it until the cover wore out, after being sewed on several times. -Once, -I -remember -we knocked the tattered cover off and it wasn’t fit to put back on. We just sewed the remaing thread ball a lot to keep it from ravel ing, and finished the game. But the two instances I started to tell you about were different.. The first was down in our pas ture. The high weeds had been cut a reasonable distance in -the outfield. It was about the middle of the game. Some fellow knocked a long one that fell just foul from deep left field. Our old hungray sow, with a little of pigs back there in the honeysuckles, had drifted out there just in the clear. The ball rolled near her. Evident ly thinking it something to eat someone had thrown her, she picked that ball up, the fielder yelled at her, and she ran away into the tall dog-fegnels with it. We hunted and hunted, but never found it. So that epded the game. The next time we were playing White Rock on their ground. - Mr. Ed Shealy had a ’tater patch out in deep left field. Bill Metts, I think it was, knocked a long ball out in there. The fielder fell down over the beds while making a heroic run for what already looked like a home run ball. In all of the commotion and laugh ing at him, we all lost sight of just where the bal went. MILLS CLINIC PATIENTS Mrs. Anna Barrier, Liltle Moun tain. Mrs. Minnie Frick, Chapin.

MY RECORD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF Elsewhere in this issue of this newspaper, I have an nounced my candidacy to succeed myself as Mayor of the City of Newberry, and I trust that I will continue to see that the business of the City is carried on in an sider it a great honor to act as your Mayor and in the past I have endeavored to do everything in my powei to see that the business of the City is carried in in an honest, fair and businesslike manner. It is with a con siderable degree of pride that I call to the atfention of the people of Newberry the following improvements which have been brought about by the City Council, all within the past two years. In the first place, the Budget for the City of New berry was balanced, has been kept in balance, is now in balance, and I intend to do all that I can to see that it. remains in balance. Some of the improvements which have been effect ed are as follows: 1. Completed and put into operation the new 16” water main from Saluda River. 2. Purchased four (4) new replacement vehicles for use by the several departments. 3. Improved recreational program and facilities. 4. Preparing to adopt a more comprehensive per sonnel classification and pay plan for city em ployees. 5. Improved storm drainage facilities. 6. Surfaced additional streets with assistance of the State Highway Department. 7. Continued development of off-street parking in business area. 8. Extend Social Security to cover Police Depart ment. 9. Arranged sinking fund for fire department (new fire truck). 10. Installed new street lights. 11. Continued extensions to the water, electric, and sewer utilities systems. CECIL E. KINARD BY THE WAY Cont. from Page 1 right were it not for the fact that the socially promoted are placed in the next class with the smarter group who could make it. The teacher of the next class has to lower the gates of knowledge to let in the not-so-smart, thereby depriving the smarter children of the challenge of deeper studies with which to develop their minds. This continues through the elementary schools, and by time they reach high school age, many of those in the eighth grade shouldn’t be there. Even in high school, the students who are cap able of nothing but failing grades are placed in classes with the average or superior students. As a general rule, the deficient stu dents are not even interested in being in school and four or five can cause a classroom teacher more trouble than a room full of average-or-above students. Much of a teacher’s time, which should be spent on the subject, is spent in an effort to discipline these pu pils and in trying to pound a little knowledge in their heads, while the students who are capable of doing far more difficult work are left to stagnate with work far below their mental capacity. You may not believe all of this, but you have only to ask the sup erintendents of the various schools to find out that this is true. They realize it, but there is little they can do about it. If an effort is made, as I understand it has been in the past, to place these stu dents in an “ungraded” class, the parents raise such havoc that the schools are forced to put the de ficient students back with the oth ers. This is not the right attitude on the part of parents. They should realize that not only would the other students be better off, but their children would be, too, without the pressure of trying to keep up with something when even made simple, is past their com prehension. It was of interest to me to read Dr. Finley’s statement that “too many parents expect and even de mand that their child be passed.” This too, is true, and is a situa tion that exists in the Newberry schools. I don’t know how maqy there are, but I could name sev eral high school students who fail ed their work for the semester, but passed on their report cards. Why ? Because the pressure is too much for administrators and teachers from parents who raise sand if THEIR child doesn't pass -or doesn’t make a good grade.

JONES SPEND SUMMER AT SCOUT CAMP Misses Gloria and Doris Ann Parks are spending the summer months at the Girl Scout camp, Juliette Low, in Cloudland, Ga. Doris Ann is a counselor at the camp, and Gloria is serving as an office assistant. This has led to an attitude on the part of most students that “any grade above 70 is wasted, so why bother to study?” I’ll go into that a little more thoroughly next week.
