THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1959 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE CITY COUNCIL (Continued from page 1) make sacrifices for us. Although we do appreciate them, I think sometimes we don’t show it enough. They are here in our midst and always on the job and they do an excellent job.” The question of again broad casting council meetings was brought up by Councilman Arm- field, who stated: “During the last several months, there has been a considerable amount of interest in council’s activities since the question of the Opera House has come up, and with the annexation of Suburbia and discussions of the purchase of a new fire truck and a number of people are telling me T don’t un derstand what is going on down there’ and although I think an awful Jot of people are interested in the proceedings of council they feel that if they come down here and sit in on council—I know I would feel that way—they come and feel like maybe council thinks they are here to put pressure on them or maybe somebody thinks they are nosey and sticking their nose in somebody else’s business. Since these things have come up, and there, has been so much inter est manifested in the actions of council of late, I would like to see the radio station be given an op portunity to broadcast the council meetings again in detail, word for word, live. I think it is the job of city council to get the proceed ings before the public in any way they see fit. I think the newspap ers do a good job, but I don’t feel that the newspapers can print ev ery word that is said, that has transpired at council meetings. Cir cumstances leading up to a decis ion of council, in my mind, at times are very important and the public should know all the ramifi cations of a problem. For that reason, I would like to see the pro ceedings of council broadcast again in detail.” Councilman Dufford: 1 am like Mr. Armfield. I wouldn’t say I am in favor of the radio but I am like him, the newspapers a lot of times do not get the clear picture; they don’t present the clear pic ture as to what is said. In other words, if they would put the things as said, then it would be all right. That is true. I am still a little dubious about the radio station. I voted for it to go on and I voted for it to go off. Councilman Armfield: May 1 make this observation . . . radio has a little different place in pub lic relations that the newspapers I don’t think can fill. As I men tioned before newspapers cannot print every word. In the first place, people are not going to take that long to sit down and read, where they would sit down and listen. Sometimes I think all news-, papers are prone to lean a little om way or the other and I think it is not confined to newspapers: I think radio, too, when it comes to editorializing but I do feel like if we carried the meetings live, the public can get exactly what happened, no more, no less. Councilman DeHart inquired as to “off the record” discussions should the meetings be aired. Mr. Armfield stated “I am not in favor of going off the air to discuss things.” Mr. DeHart replied that; if the public were interested and wanted to hear what was going on, they would attend the meet ings. Councilman Jones comment ed “I don’t believe 25 people listen to the radio.” Mr. Armfield said “I tell you this, in the last three months there would have been more than 25 listeners,” then made a motion that council allow the UDC Chapter Wright Home The meeting of Drayton Ruther ford chapter on Tuesday after noon in the home of Mrs. R. D. Wright was well attended. Follow ing the salutes to the flags and the Ritual, the minutes of the March meeting were read and ap proved. Acting as corresponding secre tary, Mrs. Jordan Pool read some notes of appreciation, and the Di vision President’s letter from the News Sheet. M rs. Elmer Shealy, co-director for the Children of the Confeder acy reported regular meetings of groups with interesting historical programs, all dues and contribu tions for the 144 members had been sent to headquarters; that the children had done a fine job selling cans of candy and this had put their treasury in the black. The state convention of the C. of C. will be held at Winthrop Col lege on April 25. Dr. Sims has in vited the convention to be guests of the college for lunch. It is hop ed that members of the adult chap ter who can do so will go to this one day meeting and see the chil dren conduct their business.

I am grateful for this distinctive honor and fully realize the great responsibility to serve as president of the Garden Club of South Carolina. It is indeed a chal lenge to follow my distinguished and worthy predecessors. It is only because I know that I can depend on your cooperation and loyalty that I am given courage to under take the leadership of this wonder ful and powerful organization. “The Garden Club of South Ca rolina has accomplished many worthwhile things through th£ concentrated efforts of former presidents, officers, committee chairmen and all garden club mem bers. “Let us uphold the high stan dards and traditions that have been established and let us be mindful of the joys of gardening and of our friendship for our fel low members. May we strive to further all objectives of our state and national organizations. “May God give us wisdom to continue our work with diligence of purpose and such understand ing hearts that we may create l.eauty and harmony in the lives of those with whom we share our knowledge.” Mrs. Clem Youmans will serve as Corresponding Secretary on the Miss Ann Hewlet of North Carolina, president-general of the Children of the Confederacy, will come from Randolph-Macon Col lege, and Mrs. Charles Johnson, General U.

Benjamin, Jef ferson Davis and Varina, his wife. Mrs. Baker told many interesting things in the lives of each of these three that are not found in the general run of one volume bio graphies. Her notes combined with related incidents would make a very valuable paper to be placed in the state, General and chapter files. The place for the May meeting will be announced later.

NOTES ¥*- in By COUNTY AGENTS Jersey Heifer Sale The Annual Heifer Sale spon sored by the S. C. Jersey Cattle Ciub will be held Friday, April 17 at the Newberry County Fair grounds. The sale will begin at 12 noon. There are 29 heifers consigned to this sale the most of which have been calfhood vaccinated and all are from T.B. and Bangs Ac credited herds. This sale offers an excellent op portunity to get a good quality registered heifer as foundation animal tor either showing at fairs or starting a herd. Check Up Since the rain we had over the weekend its very likely that some farmers will be getting behind in their work. Only a small part of the cotton acreage has been plant ed. Also corn and other crops that they plan to get in. If it is too wet to get out in the field this is a good time to check up on the equipment you will be using next. The hay baler that was used last fall is it ready to go now ? Other pieces of equipment such as the combine, silage cutter, and spray or dusting machines. Some of these may just need a good grease job while others will need new parts or an overhaul. If part are needed they should be ordered now so that your implement dealer can have it back when you need it. One more thing may be you should check up on where you plan to store your grain. Have it clean ed out and those doors and holes fixed where rats cannot get in. 4-H Club Notes Newberry County 4-H Club members will go to County Camp at Camp Long, July 13-17. Make your plans now to go along with the other members from your club. Another date for 4-II Club mem- bers to romembe r is May 16th.
