Magnolia Garden Discussion Topic The Newberry Garden Club held its February meeting at the home of Mrs. James Coggins with Mrs. R. L. Baker as assistant hostess. The home was very attractive with arrangements of magnolia boughs, camellias, and red carnations sug gestive of Valentine. The table in the dining room had for its center- piece a lovely arrangement of red carnations and eucalyptus. The guests enjoyed a delightful coffee hour before the business meeting. The president, Mrs. Baker, pre sided. Mrs. William King and Mrs. James Underwood were welcomed as new members. Mrs. Hugh Senn, garden therapy chairman, gave a fine report. A note was read from Mrs. Ruth Pugh, thanking the club for the contribution and the Christmas party given for the stu dents in the special education class. Tickets were distributed for the luncheon to be held in ' the Community Hall on February 27 in honor of Mrs. Rutledge, the state president. Continuing the study of South Carolina’s famous gardens, which the club has found so interesting this year, Mrs. E. G. Able gave a very informative talk on Mag nolia Gardens. She discussed the history of the gardens, saying that in earlier days they were ap proach by river boat. Mrs. Able continued her remarks: “The house found there now is modern but is built on its original foundation. The landscaping of the gardens goes back to Rev. John Drayton, an Episcopal rector, who first began making this beau ty spot in 1843. He served the church for over 40 years and died in 1891. He secured the first In dies azalea that was brought to the gardens from relatives in Philadelphia. Rev. Drayton’s daughter, Julia, wife of William Hastie, inherited the gardens. The present owner is Norwood Hastie. The azaleas, camellias, live oaks, magnolia grandiflora, cypress trees and the black water found there make an earthly paradise. The first camellia was imported from France in 1848. Many ca mellias found in the gardens are ten feet high. Some of the varie ties found there are Alba Super- ba, Katherine Cathcart, Debut ante, Gigantea, Magnolia King, Mathotiana Rubra, Rev. John G. Drayton and Fimbriata. Rev. John Bennett is oVie of the very hardy camellias found there.” SCOUT TROOP 19 VISITS EXCHANGE Girl Scout Troop 19 held its regular meeting Tuesday. Each patrol had a short meeting, then we visited the telephone office. We had to be very quiet so as not to disturb the operators or those using the exchange.

Mrs. Harmon concluded the pro gram with garden hints for Febru- Feb. 17. Of the thousands of South Caro linians who have written to me in opposition to pay television, a few have asked why it is desirable for the Federal government to exer cise authority in this field. In general, where competing forms of business exist, it is bet ter for the government to let the natural laws of economics rule. This, at least, is the American free enterprise system. For this reason, it has been argued that the logical position of the govern ment to take in regard to pay tele vision is to let full competition exist, even if this competition re sults m the extinction of free television. This line of reasoning omits one essential consideration. The num ber of usable frequencies for the transmission of broadcasts is quite limited. Radio frequencies are be ing used for an ever-widening va riety of civilian and military uses. Very early in the development of radio, it was recognized that ary. For recreation the members played heart dice. Mrs. Wofford Cooper was high scorer and Mrs. Woodrow Bedenbaugh was low. Both received prizes. The hostess served a delectable salad plate, cup cakes, coffee and valentine candy. Mrs. P. W. Smith was hostess to the Literary Sorosis Friday af ternoon. The Valentine idea was used in the flower arrangements and in the refreshments. Each member was given a valentine corsage. The president, Mrs. Walter Hamm, presided. * Mrs. W. H. Leaphart Sr. pre sented an interesting program on “Rain Forests,” with colored films to illustrate points in her discussion. During the social the hostess served a delectable salad plate, in dividually molded ice cream, and coffee. Miss Phyllis Wise spent Sunday in Ware Shoals as guests of the B. A. Scotts.

I Newberry, South Carolina URM0ND close government regulation was necessary in order that the limit ed number of frequencies be used for the maximum public benefit. The principle was established that the airwaves are public property. The frequencies are never sold, but are assigned, and the guiding prin ciple is always the assignment must serve the public interest. If this principle is co be upheld, Congress has the duty to consid er whether the use of these pub lic air-waves by a system of pay television is in the public interest. By the same token, it would not be proper for Congress to prohi bit the transmission of pay tele vision by a system of wires and cables—what is known as closed- circuit television. In fact, it is quite possible that a commercially feasible system of pay television may be developed, using under ground cables instead of the air waves. But as long as the broadcast frequencies are public property, their tise must be regulated to se cure the maximum public benefit. I carry the same principle a step further. I maintain that, by the same principle, the public ought not to be required to pay a fee to receive any broadcasts that are sent out over the frequencies it owns. The people who cannot afford pay television have just as much of a claim to the use of the broadcast frequencies as the peo ple who can afford to, pay a price for a television program. Precinct Meetings Precinct meetings of the South Carolina Democratic Party are to be held on Saturday, February 22, except in places where the County Chairman ^ias designated another date. It is in these meetings that the process of government really be gins. If our State Democratic Party is to be representative of the people’s will during the next two years, it is ifhportant that the people attend the precinct meetings and play a part in elect ing their precinct officers and delegates. Some of the delegates elected at the precinct meetings will ultimately represent their counties at the State Convention. It is important that the people take an active interest in the or ganization of the Democratic Par ty at the precinct level, which is the real foundation on which the whole system of government is built. During the year. South Caro-' lina will boost its annual tree seedling production well over the 100 million mark. Forest tree nurseries are producing a record-breaking number of seed lings and in turn landowners are seeing that they are planted. Addition of another state nur sery this year is another indica tion of forestry progress in South Carolina—a great tree-growing state. In today’s South Carolina, with its emphasis on progress, the United States Brewers Foun dation works constantly to en courage maintenance of whole- - some conditions wherever beer and ale are sold. As in other states, the program calls for close cooperation between law- enforcement officials and beer li censees throughout South Caro lina. Beer belongs... enjoy it. United States Brewers Foundation South Carolina Div.,Columbia,S.C. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 196S Easy To Convert G. 1. Insurance An easy-stage method of con verting GI term insurance to per-, manent plans is available to any of the 3,200,000 World War II veterans who cannot afford to con vert the full amount of their term policies. The law and VA regulations permit these term policyholders to convert as little as $1,000 the first time and then any amount thereafter they 'wish in' multiples; of $500, Hugh H. Henderson, Con tact Officer, VA ftegfcafc* Office, announced today. By converting $1,000 a year fdr 10 years, the full amount vriH he in permanent plan insurance with in a decade, Mr. Henderson point ed out. Annual dividends may i>e used in the process to reduce the cash outlay to the policyholder at the time of conversion, he added. The decision to convert is foi each policyholder to make based on his needy for present add fu ture life insurance, his ability up pay premiums and his family sta tus, Mr. Henderson said. , , In some cases term insurance Is preferable. In others, permanent plans are indicated. Permanent plan poliddb avail able to World War II term policy holders who wish to convert un der this easy-stage method 5 a*e ordinary life, 20-pay life* 30-pay life, '20-year endowpient, endow ment at age 60, aad endowment at age 65. The premium rates fbr the per manent plans are higher than ;’or the term policies at the same age of issue, but they remain static. Term policy premium rates, on the other hand* increase every five years until they may become prohibitive at advanced ages, Mr. Henderson said. Mr. Henderson added fhat per manent plans have certain values which term policies do not have. These include a loan value, a cash surrender value and an extended insurance value. The latter will keep a policy in force automatical ly for a'stipulated period after a policyholder has failed to pay premiums. Term policies, * on the other hand, provide only insurance against d^ath and then only so long as premiums ape timely, paid. They have no extended value as a cushion against lapse, or loan val ue for emergencies.
