THE NEWBERRY SUN
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26,
You can enjoy the fun of getting ready for Christmas by starting
early to make original gifts for those on your list who “already have
everything” or are “so hard to buy for.” You don’t have to be a
master craftsman to make attractive presents, just let simplicity and
color be your keynotes.
As for materials, department stores and variety stores are filled
with endless possibilities. You can, for instance, buy metal trays of
all sizes that can be made distinctive with flowers or fruit, scrolls
or scallops. Often the instructions, designs, and paint materials are
packaged right with the trays.
The ten-cent store will yield an array of kitchen canisters, cake
tins, and wooden salad bowls that can be given decorative touches.
They provide a wonderful way to highlight kitchen color schemes.
In decorating wooden salad bowls, put your designs on first, then give
the bowl two or three coats of spar varnish which will provide an
odorless, tasteless coating.
If you’ll take your ingenuity shopping, you’ll find many items that
will arouse your creative interest in other stores, too. There is an
endless stream of closet accessories . . . hampers, shoe and hat
stands, hat boxes, and clothes hangers.
And don’t overlook such gardening equipment as trowels, diggers
and watering cans. They can all be perked up with colorful enamel.
For the younger set, a toy chest with storybook figures—or the
child’s name—makes a welcome gift. Such a box can be made from
an old sea chest or a wooden storage locker. You may even find one
in a store that sells unpainted furniture.
Expenditures For
Education High
Expenditures for public educat
ion in South Carolina in 1956-57
totaled $146,266,852.06, according
to P. H. Bomar, finance officer
in the State Department of Educat
ion.
These expenditures represent
funds handled diregtly by the
local districts and counties, by
the State Department of Educat
ion, the Educational Finance Com
mission, and the School Book Com
mission, and contributions of the
State to the retirement fund of
educational personnel.
The total is an increase of
slightly more than $4 million
over the previous year. There was
some decrease in reported capital
outlay but increases in other areas
accounted for the over-all increase
of $4 million.
SimScSr?: 3 ?
mm m
Funds for public education came
from three sources: federal funds
accounted for approximately 5
per cent of the total; state funds
approximately 65 per cent; and
local funds, approximately 30 per
cent.
The average salary for class
room teachers and teaching prin
cipals increased from $2956
(1955-56) to $3015 (1956-57). Since
no state-wide salary increase was
granted for the school year 1956-
57, the increased average salary
“indicates that teachers are con
tinuing to improve their profess
ional qualifications and that school
districts are employing better
qualified teachers,” according to
Mr. Bomar. ,
A breakdown of the expend
itures indicates that $84 million
was spent for the public schools,
including approximately $63 mill
ion for sal&ries; slightly over
$1 million was spent for adult
education, including veterans ed
ucation, the Area TradeSchools,
and the Opportunity School; al
most $37 million was spent for
capital outlay; and $14 million
was spent for debt service (in
terest on loans and retirement
of bonds).
A complete analysis of public
education expenditures will appear
in the annual report of Dr. Jesse
T. Anderson, state superintendent
of education.

parts of the world. The scene above depicts Madrid’s Preciados
