Mrs. Bushardt Rites Tuesday Mrs. Bee Lominick Bushardt, 69, wife of Caleb D. Bushftrdt of 1220 Summer St., died late Sun day night at the Newberry Coun ty Memorial Hospital. She had been ill for the past 11 weeks. Mrs. Bushardt was born and reared in the Mt. Bethel - Gar- many section of Newberry Coun ty, a daughter of the late W. Pet- tus and Mrs. Vinnie Ruff Lomin ick. She had spent most of her life in Newberry where she was a member of the Associate Re formed Presbyterian Church. She is survived by her hus band; three daughters, Mrs. George Mayer of Newberry, Mrs. Voigt M. Epting of Pacolet, and Mrs. D. B. Hartzog of Denmark; three sisters, Mrs. Thad Hinnant and Mrs. David Luther Ruff, both of Newberry and Mrs. Fred Cle ment of Inman; four brothers, George R. Lominick and Dr. J. Richard Lominick, both of New berry, C. R. Lominick of Green wood, and Walter Lominick of Greer; seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held at 3:30 p. m. Tuesday from McSwain Funeral Home by her pastor, Dr. Paul L. Grier. Burial was in Rose- mont Cemetery in Newberry. Active pallbearers were J. Richard Lominick, C. R.

County Native Dies In N. C. Robert H. Counts, 66, of 409 Baldwin Ave., Spencer, N. C., a nativeof Prosperity, died Friday morning at his home after declin ing health of several years. Mr. Counts was born in Pros perity, son of the late Ernest O. and. Katie Boinest Counts. He at tended the Newberry County schools and was yard engineer for the Southern Railway in Salis bury. He was a member of Cal vary Lutheran Church of Spencer andthe Spencer Masonic Lodge. Survivors include his wife; one brother, Ernest O. Counts Sr. of Charlotte; two sisters, Mrs. John R. Schrum of Lincolnton, N. C., and Miss Katherine Counts of Greensboro, N. C. Funeral services were held Sun day afternoon from Calvary Luth eran Church at Spencer. Burial was in Rowan Memorial Park. The Lady was Willing Recently a service station attendant changed the oil in a car with 23,000 miles on the speed ometer. He noticed that a lubrication job was also badly needed, so he politely suggested it to the driver. She replied, willingly enough, “Go ahead if you want to... but l thought all that was done at the factory!” Of course, this couldn’t happen to you, but with cars getting more and more complicated every year, proper and frequent lubrication is more important than ever. Phillips 66 Dealers specialize in lubrication. They have complete charts and specifications for all makes of cars, and what’s more, they use them! Stop in next chance you get and watch how thorough Phillips 66 attendants are when they lubricate a car . . . it’s a pleasant surprise for most motorists! C. D. Coleman Oil Company, Distributor Newberry South Carolina Worms Damaging Alfalfa Crop By COUNTY AGENTS Alfalfa Insect Situation Demands Attention Alfalfa growers must apply in secticides to poison the Alfalfa Weevil worms that are severely damaging our valuable feed crop. We know that some growers have already either sprayed or dusted and have the worms under con trol. However there are many others whom we believe have not yet taken steps to get rid of this threat to their alfalfa. Cotton Planting Time Although the rainy weather is still holding us back, it is cotton planting time. Also we know we will have the smallest cotton acreages in Newberry County this year we have had in many years. At the present time it looks like this will be a good year for cotton farmers who can make high yields of good quality cottrn. The short age of quality cotton indicates that cotton of top quality will bring a premium this fall. Corn Corn planting has also been delayed due to the weather. Many long range weather forecasts pre dict this will be a year with plen ty of rain. If so, it could be a good corn year. Many farmers are now produc ing over 100 bushels of corn per acre using good land and proven practices. Number of Laying Hens Increas ing Rapidly in Newberry County We had the good fortune of at tending the Young Farmers meet ing at Bush River last week and hearing Bill Click on Poultry Management. Bill reported it is expected that Newberry County will have about 5 times as many laying hens in Newberry County at the end of this year as we had in 1957. This will be approxi mately 75,000 laying hens. Certainly this heavy increase in layers could mean much to the de velopment of Newberry County. We would just like to emphasize as Bill did at the meeting last week, good management is most essential to success with laying Lutheran Women To Meet Here The United Lutheran Church Women of Newberry Conference will hold a Conference-wide For eign Mission study class at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer on Sunday, April 20 beginning at 3:30 p. m. The theme, “Cross and Crisis in Japan” will be presented by Dr. James C. Kinard. Mrs. Paul Mon roe, president of the Newberry Conference ULCW, will preside over the program. Devotions will be led by Mrs L. H. Sease. Rev. C. L. Richardson will have charge of the session on Visual Aids. Films on “Lutherans Foster Christian Education in Japan” and “Lutherans Provide a Min istry of Mercy” will be shown. A feature of this session will be a display of Japanese articles and pictures on the work of Rev.*, and Mrs. Charles Dawkins of Newber ry, missionaries to Japan. The program will close with a prayer period led by Mrs. Murray Counts. Each member is asked to bring her own sandwiches and cookies for the fellowship hour at 6:00 o’clock. The men, women and young peo ple of Newberry Conference are invited and urged to attend. Teacher Honored At PTA Meeting Patrons and friends, numbering around 200, turned out last Thurs day night to honor Miss Ethel Jones, retiring teacher at Speers Street School. Guests were greeted at the dear by E. Maxcy Stone, president of the Speers Street Parent-Teach er Association, Mrs. Beale Cro mer, principal of the school, Miss Jones, and other members of the school staff. The program, 'held in the audi torium, was arranged by Mrs. Frank Gilfillan. Mrs. Gilfillan sang “The Lord’s Prayer”, “Bless This House,” and upon special request “Shortnin’ Bread.” Her son, Willie, sang “Around the World,” and a special number for Miss Jones to the tune of “Tam my.” Mrs. Marvin Rucker was accompanist. President Stone paid tribute to Miss Jones for her long and faith ful service as a teacher in the ele mentary school. He presented hens. Better birds and better feeds than we have ever had before are available. It is management that will determine whether or not these layers will continually pro duce at a high rate that means a profitable operation.
