Ez Tike says his wife is good at imitations . . . seems she watches him like a hawk. VOLUME 21; NUMBER 46. An employer is better off sometimes to be blind, and an employee to be deaf. NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1959 + $2.00 PER YEAR By The Way By Doris A. Banders TIME IS RIGHT This seems to be the proper time to give serious thought to the proposition of a United Fund for Newberry. I have opposed this in the past, because I witnessed the rise and fall of the Commun ity Chest. At that time, we were supposed to have “only one drive. This, in the first place, was not true, because of several organi zations which refused to join the Chest, and conducted independent drives anyway. Perhaps that might not even have been so bad but if I remember correctly, three drives were necessary the last year the Community Chest was in operation, to get anywhere near the goal. When the last drive was finally over, I believe funds had been collected to reach only 60 percent of the total amount de sired. ' I say this seems to be the prop er time to give a United Fund some thought because the people of this County have certainly had their fill of soliciting and solici tors this year. There have been some five or six drives, one fol lowing the other, some overlap ping, since the first of the year. Girl Scouts, March of Dimes, Heart Fund, Easter Seals, and coming up are Red Cross and Can cer. Perhaps there are more I have forgotten but these I am sure of. Those persons interested in an Interservice Council and also in a United Fund effort have tried to get the idea across, but it has been a slow and discouraging job. It has been pointed out that there is only one way in which a United Fund will ever be successful: that is by the full cooperation of all civic clubs, the members of which must agree not to take part in any drive of any kind other than the United Fund effort. Those in charge of the United Fund must also promise the public that only one drive will be made; that the goal must be reached in that one drive. Only by the refusal of the coun ty’s citizens to participate in in dividual drives will the United Fund be a success. It has also been pointed out that the UF will be entirely on a local basis; there will be no affiliation with either a state or national agency. There will be a local committee in charge of administering the fund and conducting the drive. This com mittee will decide which organi zations should be allowed to enter, and what portion of contributions should go to each. There will be a meeting of the Interservice Council on April 6. It is urged that every club have a representative at this meeting and it is hoped that by that time, every civic club in Newberry will have agreed—as some have al ready done—not to take part in any individual drive but to whole heartedly support a United Fund effort. Higgins Advises 'Keep Good Industrial Climate In Newberry* EASTER SEALS Easter Seals mean many things at least your contributions for the seals do. Of importance is the fact that 90 percent of your donations to the Crippled Chil dren’s Society campaign stays in Newberry County. What is the money used for? To buy wheel chairs and walkers for invalids who could get around no other way; to help pay hospital bills for children and adults with crip pling diseases who would be un able to have medical care other wise; to pay transportation for “home-bound teachers” for crip pled children who are unable to attend school; to help with the training of teachers for handi capped children. These things are done here, in Newberry County, and names of persons benefitted by your donations are available by contacting the local chapter. Funds are not handed out arbi trarily. Persons who request aid from the CC Society are investi gated thoroughly and an urgent need for funds must be shown. Mrs. J. E. Nichols, chairman of the local chapter, and Richard L. Baker, chairman of the Easter Seal campaign, both request that you please use the envelope sent with your Easter Seals to return a donation. If for some reason you did not receive the seals, you may make a donation by mail or in person at the South Carolina National Bank.

The question of a bond issue again rears its head. Despite the fact that the Newberry area ad visory school board told taxpay ers attending a public meeting Monday night that it was not in a Mrs. Charles Holmes and sons of W’hite Rock; together with her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Spitzer spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Abrams at their home on the Bush River Road. Mr. and Mrs. Spitzer are making their home with their daughter since the recent death of Mrs. Holmes’ husband, Rev. Charles Holmes. position to discuss finances, the question of a bond issue continued to rise with many of those pre sent firmly believing that the is sue would be voted by the citizens of Newberry County. As you probably recall, this w 7 as tried once before and was defeat ed. At that time, it meant some new facilities for almost every school area; still it was voted down. Why? Perhaps because most of the areas already had most of what they wanted. In the lower part of the county, the folks knew they were going to get their high school whenever the people decided to quit playing politics and decide on a location. So the only area to benefit great ly was Newberry, where new buildings were needed to replace old ones. The people of Newberry voted in favor of the bond issue, as I recall; the people of the county defeated it. The conditions are still the same. It is hard to be lieve that the people of the county wdll look more kindly on a bond issue now than they did then. The importance of a commun ity’s business climate and the im pact of that climate on the wel fare of its citizens were empha sized last night by Richard R. Higgins, president of the Kendall Company of Boston, speaking to a large assemblage gathered for the first annual banquet of the Newberry County Development Board. The event was held in the Newberry College Dining Hall, with Thomas H. Pope serving as Toastmaster. “Business can contribute to eco nomic advance only in a favorable climate and only as the economy of a state advances can the genu ine welfare of its citizens advance also,” the speaker said. Factors listed by Mr. Higgins as influencing business climate were favorable tax, power, build ing, and operating costs, labor supply, living conditions for em ployees, and schools. Also, he said, intangibles are important, such as the general attitude of the com munity toward business. Citing specific” instances, Mr. Higgins said that last year when The Kendall Company installed some new equipment, plant com munities felt the effects of this ne- Risk Succumbs Tuesday Morning Jacob Heber Rish, 51, of Rt. 1, Little Mountain, died Tuesday morning at the Newberry hospital following an illness of five months. Mr. Rish was born and reared in Lexington County, a son of the late John Jacob and Susan Alice Amick Rish. He had spent most of his life near Little Moun tain and was a member of St. Peters (Piney woods) Lutheran Church. He was a farmer. Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Millie Eargle Rish; four sons, Thomas Heber, Jacob Sidney, Joe Rickey and Donald Ray Rish, all of the home; two sisters, Mrs. Rhoda Della Norris of Colum bia and Miss Thelma Lucille Rish of Little Mountain; and one brother, Jessie Virgil Rish of Little Mountain. Funeral services were conduct ed at 3 p. m. Wednesday at St. Peters (Piney woods) Lutheran Church by the Rev. John D. Zeig- ler. Burial was in the church ce metery. Vehicle Owners Urged To Apply For Certificate Motor vehicle owners are en couraged by the State Highway Department to make applications for certificates of title to their vehicles at this time. Certificates of title are current ly being issued by the Department and all vehicles in South Carolina must be titled by January 1, 1961 as owners will not receive a li cense renewal application for the 1962 license plate until a title has been obtained. Applications for motor vehicle certificates of title may be ob tained from any licensed automo bile dealer, from any of the 43 field offices of the Highway De partment and by mail from the Columbia office. The completed application, giv ing the vehicle serial number, make, year, body style, license number, when and where acquired, liens against the vehicle, if any, the name and present mailing ad dress of the owner and a .50 fee, should be forwarded to the Motor Vehicle Division in Columbia or presented to any Department field office. The application must also be signed by the vehicle own er before a notary public. Inquest Friday An inquest will be held Friday night at 8 o’clock in the county court room into the death of Gor don H. Sims, according to Coroner George R. Summer. Sims, who was on duty with the Air Force in Columbus, Miss., was killed in stantly when the car he was driv ing rammed into a C.N.&L. freight train box car early on the morn ing of February 14. A passenger in the car, 2nd Lt. Peter Edward Sercer, was injured and was hospitalized at Fort Jack- son for several weeks. cessary modernization through a reduction in work forces. “The de gree to which citizens accept and understand necessary moves like these, the degree to which leaders in the community help to get an understanding throughout the community—these are the tests of the general attitude of the com munity toward a business—the thing that make a favorable busi ness climate,” he said. Mr. Higgins noted the impor tance of the support that business receives from the states as being of prime concern for any locality actively trying to attract new bu siness and hold those already pre sent. “In contrast to some other states we all could mention,” Mr. Higgins said, ‘South Carolina has recognized that business and cor porations should not be the whip ping boys, that fiscal problems should not always be solved by loading taxes on industry, that reasonable labor legislation is important, that the right to work law means something to old in dustries as well as new industries.” The president of The Kendall Company pointed out the impor tance of maintaining a favorable business climate through both state and national policies. ‘It is characteristic of the older indust rial sections of the country,” he said, “that as labor interests be come more powerful and forceful ly promote so-called welfare legis lation, disregard for business in terest increases.” It was in this connection that Mr. Higgins said, “Only as the economy of a state advances can the genuine welfare of its citizens advance also. Mr. Higgins referred to the in dustrial development of South Carolina in recent years as “really sensational.” “Although local de velopment boards like yours have played important parts in bring ing about this development,” he continued, “the political climate of the state has been the most significant factor. The vital in terest of your Senator Thurmond both when he was governor and when he was Senator, the vital interest of your Congressman Dorn, the. state-wide efforts of Charlie Daniel and the Director of the State Development Board, Robert M. Cooper, have first at tracted industry to the state and then the committees have done their share in providing favorable local climate.” The speaker urged that South Carolina’s^ “Fine business climate” be kept that way. “Don’t relax in your efforts to give business and corporations a fair shake in taxes, in restrictive legislation, in sym pathetic representation in Wash ington,” he advised. “Perpetuate the basic climate, within which your own efforts to serve this fine county can be most product ive. “The foundation of any business development program is a sound business climate,” Mr. Higgins said, “First on the state level and then on the local level. Land sites, cooperation, water, electric power, labor supply, reasonable taxes— all of these tangible things are necessary, but basically sound climate will be the thing that brings economic expansion. That,” concluded the speaker, “in my judgment, is what lies behind South Carolina’s rapid progress. And, as I have said, don’t lose it.” Prior to Mr. Higgin’s talk, new officers and directors of the local development Board vrere introduc ed. Earl Gilliam, director from Whitmire, has been elected presi dent for the 1959-60 Board year: Jacob Bowers of Prosperity, vice- president, and Cecil Berley of Po- maria, treasurer. Mr. Gilliam suc ceeds T. Roy Summer, Jr., who served as the Board’s first presi dent whose term as a director ex pires in April. Thomas H. Pope has been elected to succeed him as director from the Newberry district. Other members of the Board are Rev. Garth Hill of Little Mountain, David Waldrop of Sil- verstreet nad Clifford T. Smith of Bush River. Among other guests introduced were officials of the Kendall Com- Many Opinions Are Aired At Public Meeting The public meeting called by the Newberry area advisory school board Monday night to discuss construction of schools in New berry brought forth a number of opinions, a majority of which were not of the type wanted or ex pected by the advisory board. The questions for discussion were twofold, according to the board. First: should we construct a new junior high school, or new elementary school first? Second: should we construct one central elementary school, or more than one? While there was no vote taken on the latter question, the only thought advanced by those who took the floor was that there should be two schools; no one spoke in favor of one central ele mentary school. The biggest dis cussion centered around the ques tion of which should be built first, and whether there should be a bond issue in an effort to build all three simultaneously. The bond issue as well as other financial problems, the advisory board was not prone to discuss. They made it clear they didn’t know how much it would cost to build one building, two buildings or three. Their only purpose in calling the meeting, they stated time and again, was to find out whether the citizens wanted to be gin the building program with a junior high or with an elementary school. Despite efforts to keep the dis cussion on this track, the bond issue continued to rear its head with a number of persons express ing the belief that the citizens of the county would vote a bond is sue for the construction of three schools immediately; others point ing out that such an issue had been defeated a couple of years ago. The advisory board was seeking the thoughts of the public to guide it in making a recommendation to the Newberry County Board of Education, since it had promised that the next funds available would be used in the Newberry area. There is presently on hand about $75,000, with another $200,- 000 expected from the State Fin ance Commission in June of this year. It is understood that if a definite decision is made imme diately as to which school should be built first, there would be suf ficient funds available to start preliminary plans for one school at this time, and to complete con struction with the allocation due in June. R. E. Beck, elementary superin tendent, read a report by a repre sentative of the State Department of Education who inspected the city elementary school buildings Monday. He recommended sim ultaneous building of the three schools, but said there “is more immediate need for elementary schools than for a Junior high.” He also read a report by build ing inspector and fire chief Sam Beam, who reported that all three buildings needed repairs, but that junior high seemed in better shape than Boundary or Speers. In re sponse to a question from the floor, he said that Chief Beam did not condemn the ouildings. A motion was made from the floor that the program begin by building a new elementary school at the Boundary location; then in 1960, if no more funds were forth coming from the State Finance Commission, to hold a bond elec tion for construction of the other two schools. This motion was car ried, as a recommendation to the advisory board. Opera House Resolution Is Received “As Information” Baker Resigns; To Be Coach At Eau Claire Arthur Baker has resigned as head coach at Newberry high school, according to an announce ment made Wednesday morning by J. V. Kneece, superintendent. Mr. Baker resigned in order to accept the position as head coach at Eau Claire High School near Columbia. “It is with deepest regret that we learned that Coach Baker has decided to leave Newberry,” Mr. Kneece stated. “We give him up reluctantly. He is a Christian gent leman, and wonderful coach, and a fine trainer of youth. We did not feel, however, that we wanted to stand in the way of a promotion for Coach Baker and so, with re luctance, his resignation, submit ted Wednesday morning, has been accepted.” Coach Baker who came to New berry from McColl, has served as coach at Newberry for two years. He has been active in community as well as in school affairs. He was named “Young Man of the Year” recently by the Newberry Junior Chamber of Commerce. His wife, who is the former Edith Edens of Dalzell, did sub stitute teacher work during their first year in Newberry. She is presently the director of Ave- leigh Presbyterian Kindergarten. The Bakers have two children of pre-school age, Artie and Kim. Two big problems—the fate of the Opera House and the pur chase of a fire truck—are still un settled after Tuesday night’s city council meeting. The fire truck situation, which was postponed last meeting be cause of the lateness of the hour, was again discussed. Mayor Lay- ton asked for a motion to get bids ers Chapter, S. A.

D. Workman, Jr. on the* South Carolina law ^gainst nepotism in state government. Representative Dorn in a state ment said that when the people send a man to Congress, they take for granted that he has the good judgment to handle the taxpay er’s money in the best public in terest. “It is shocking,” Congress man Dorn said, to see a few mem bers abuse the confidence and trust the people have placed in them. It is a reflection on repre sentative government.” Mr. Dorn continued, “In this time of inflation and tdgh taxes, every Congressman should take the lead and set the example in saving every dollar possible for the overburdened taxpayers. This is no time for shenanigans, clown ing and waste of public funds. Representative government is on trial throughout the world and all Congressmen should set an exam ple of integrity, dedication to duty, and fidelity to the cause of good government”. Representative Dorn said that the majority of Congressmen handle the taxpayer’s money with great care and it is a shame to see a small number reflect on the principles of democratic repre sentation.

Irvine Leslie, architect who re ported to the council last meeting that he had examined the Opera House building and found it in “dilapidated condition,” appeared before Council Tuesday night to stress to fact that he had not re commended tearing down the Op era House, but merely made a re port of its condition. Mayor Layton read the follow ing resolution: WHEREAS, the following or ganizations have been contacted in reference to the Opera House situation, and each one is heartily in favor of everything possible being done to save the building for years of service to the city.

Council accepted for maintance Evans Circle from Glenn street to Oak St., and Oak St. from Evans Circle to Glenn St., and also ap proved the installation of an eight inch sewer line not to exceed $2,r 875 and six and eight inch water lines not to exceed $9,600 in that area. Councilman DeHart stated that he believed sanitary ’sewers should be installed in Suburbia first.

A delegation of home-owners in Suburbia was present to ask coun cil to install the sewer line in that area.
