NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JANUARY, 23, 1958 By The Way By DORIS A. SANDERS COULDN’T LAST Of course it couldn’t last long, but Tuesday afternoon, for an hour or so, was almost like spring. I even voluntarily walked a couple of blocks to take a pic ture when I could have gone in the car! Such an afternoon makes one want to get rid of winter clothes and bring out the spring ones—and might even make the more industrious feel like spring house-cleaning. But Wednesday morning dawned cold and windy so the spring-like atmosphere didn’t last long. Perhaps before too much longer those balmy days will be with us to stay.

Two speakers were on the pro gram when the Lions Club held a supper meeting at the Community Hall Tuesday night. They were Dr. B. M. Montgomery, who has been named county chairman of the Heart Fund campaign; and Lion Bill Dallas of Columbia, district deputy governor of Lion District 3 and president of the South Carolina Eye Bank. Lion Louis Brossy, program chairman, introduced Dr. Mont gomery, who made an interesting talk on diseases of the heart, and explained the workings of the ar tificial heart and its benefit in aiding surgeons in heart opera tions. He stated that before the use of the artificial heart, sur geons had to perform delicate heart operations in five minutes; now they have as much as an hour in which to do this type of op eration by use of the artificial heart. There is no artificial heart in South Carolina, the speaker said, but expressed the opinion that there should be one, inasmuch as it was often danger ous to transport patients a great distance for operations. He stat ed that heart disease was unknown among Chinese, probably due to their diet; and that few women under age 55 are affected by heart disease. The program chairman called on Lion Ray Dawkins to introduce Lion Dallas. Mr. Dallas explained the organization of the Eye Bank, which has been made possible by the 150 Lions Clubs in South Carolina. He explained that tech nically, the organization is not a “bank” inasmuch as eyes cannot be stored, but more of a clearing house for persons who were will ing to donate their eyes after death and persons who had 're quested corneal transplants. He stated that since its inception in June 1957, the eye bank in South Carolina, had handled 14 eyes for corneal transplants, five of which were used in South Carolina. Most of the eyes were secured from an eye association in New York, also a project of the Lions. The greatest need now’, he said, is for donors. He appealed to any one who would donate their eyes after death to get in touch with the eye bank in Columbia. Lion President Louis C. Floyd, who presided, announced that Lion George Sessions would be program chairman for the Febru ary meetings. Lion Bill Turner won the door prize. Principals at the Lions Club meeting Tuesday night were, left to right. Dr. B. M. Montgomery, who spoke on the subject of heart diseases; Lion President Louis C. Floyd, Lion William A. Dallas, of Columbia, who explained the Lion Club sponsored Eye Bank; Dr. Louis Brossy, program chairman; and Waldo C. Huffman, chair man of the local eye bank committee. The gentlemen are examining the form executed by those who wish to donate their eyes to the eye bank.

(Suophoto.) Plans For Parr Nuclear Plant Are Revealed CHARLOTTE, N. C., Jan. 18.— Carolinas Virginia Nuclear Pow er Associates IndT are ready to proceed with construction plans for the South’s first nuclear pow er plant, upon approval by the Atomic Energy Commission of its construction proposal. At a meeting in Charlotte last week of CVNPA’s board of direc tors, a sketch of the proposed plant at Parr, was presented by engineering consultants and tech nical details were discussed. The plant proposal, now before AEG, calls for completion in 1962 of a prototype heavywater-cooled, heavy-water-moderated pressure tube-type reactor, utilizing slight ly enriched uranium as fuel. This represents a new type of reactor design which it is believed will contribute to advancement of the art of nuclear power generation. Construction of the plant will bring to fruition plans and studies of the four-company Assb- eiates which began even before CVNPA received its charter in October of 1956. A joint study group had for several years had under consideration the feasibility of nuclear power development in the area served by CVNPA’s mem ber companies. Since formally incorporating, CVNPA has retained the services of Stone & Webster Engineering Corps, of Boston, architect-engi neers; General Nuclear Engineer ing Corp. of Dunedin, Fla., cbn- sulting nuclear scientists; and Westinghouse Electric Corp., equipment manufacturer. The Parr site is located about 25 miles north of Columbia, in the South Carolina Electric & Gas Co. service area. Both a hydro- eU'i'trio and a steam-electric plant are presently in operation at Parr. CVNPA member companies are Carolina Power & Light Co., Duke Power Co., South Carolina Elec tric & Gas Co., and Virginia Elec tric & Power Co. N. A. Cocke, CVNPA and Duke Power presi dent, said CVNPA’s proposal to build the nuclear plant at Parr was made in compliance with terms of the AEC’s reactor pro gram third invitation which was initiated in January of 1965. Cost of the project is expected to be in excess of $20 million and the reactor is designed for an electrical capacity of 17,000 kilo watt ts. In their proposal to A EC, CVNPA said that successful, de velopment and operation of the Pair project could load to con struction of economical large- scale nuclear power plants by the participating companies in their respective service areas. Mr. Cocke said that the con sulting firms’ recommendation pointed out the natural geograph ical ami economic advantages.af- Chairman Crippled Children Society Mrs. Emmett Nichols of New berry has recently been named chairman of the Newberry Coun ty Chapter of the Crippled Chil dren Society of South Carolina ac cording to an- announcement made by Jeff B.
