GEORGE SCRUGGS (Continued from page 1) “There were very few employ ees in those days,” Mr. Scruggs recalls. The shop was set up here January 1, 1928 in a building on lower Main street. The next year a shop was built, at the location now occupied by C. D. Coleman Co. on Main Street Extension. The highway’s county operations remained there for many years, until a new, larger building was erected several years ago on the Mt. Bethel-Garmany road. From a beginning of one em ployee—Mr. Scruggs—the opera tion has grown to include an average of 65 employees. One big job of the local shop is to maintain school buses, in addition to maintaining roads and bridges, and in some instances paving streets and sidewalks. Taking over Mr. Scruggs posi tion as superintendent is L. B. Bryan of Edgefield, who has been a construction engineer on In terstate Highway 26. Mr. Bryan is married and has four children. His family is expected to move to Newberry when school is out. Many of the Scruggs’ friends have entertained in honor of the retired employee. Their children, whom the Scruggs expect to visit this summer, are George, Jr., his wife and daughter Betty, of Roanoke, Va., and Mrs. H. D. (Margaret) Crum, her husband and three boys, Allen, George and Dixon, of Charlotte. Enlistee May Select School The high school graduate can now qualify, select, and be guar anteed in writing before he en lists, that after eight weeks basic training, he will attend the Army technical school he elects. Here is how it works: Step One—Visit the Army Re cruiting Office where the . local screening tests will be administ ered. Check the list of currently available schools. Select a first and second choice from the list, and plan a two-day trip to Colum bia for final testing. Step Two—Make the trip to Columbia and remain over night at the Armed Forces Examining Station, Fort Jackson, for mental testing, physical examination and proficiency testing for final deter mination of qualifications for the school selected. Step Three—When found quali fied, plan enlistment so that eight weeks basic training will be completed before reporting to school. If school opening is avail able, immediate enlistment is pos sible; otherwise, return home at government expense to await en listment date. Should one fail to qualify for his first or second choice, other options are avail able. Enlistment and subsequent training in the Regular Army is now planned in detail before ac tual enlistment; consequently, choice can be guaranteed. Interested high school grad uates and seniors may contact the Army Recruiter on Friday after noons (1 p.m. until 5 p.m.) at the Newberry Selective Service Office. TRAINING LEAGUE The Newberry Little Boys Training League will practice on Monday, May 9 at Speers Street field at 5 p.m. All boys between the ages of 8 and 12 are eligible for this league. Practice will be held each day at this time except on Wednesdays.

It is a region experi encing unprecedented industrial and resource growth. Most note worthy has been the ascendancy of the area to one of the nation’s leading sources of pig and man ufactured aluminum. Other manufactured products include lumber and lumber prod ucts, poultry, dairy and meat products, clay and cement prod ucts, machinery and metal prod ucts, flour and cereal, paper, commercial truck and trailer bodies, and petroleum products. The Columbia Basin Project may ultimately create nearly a million acres of rich, nroductive farm land. At mature develop ment it is estimated that farm population in the Project will be 60,000, and the urban population 140,000. Spokane is derived from the Spokane Indian name which means “Children of the Sun.” Spokane, /The Friendly City” is only nine miles away from the spot where the history of the Pacific Northwest began with es tablishment of the Northwest Fur Company’s Spokane House in 1810. It was the first trading post established in the entire region'. The early trappers and traders blazed nigged trails. Today a network of super highways branch out from Spokane, leading to Yellowstone, Glacier, Lake Louise, Yoho, Mt. Rainier, and Olympic National Parks. HALF-PAST TEEN AMERICANA Jacksonville, Florida Cittef to Soo From the tops of tall buildings in Jacksonville, Fla., the unaided eye detects the breakers of the Atlantic pear the mouth of the St Johns River, where Jean Ribault and the exploring party of French Hugoenots came to anchor in 1562. This was the discovery of the St Johns by the white man. Two years later 250 Hugoenot colonists under command of Laudonniere arrived from France and planted their colony at the foot of the hill known as St Johns Bluff, between what is now Jacksonville and the ocean. Today, Jacksonville is the seat of Duval County. The area within the city limits is composed of 30.2 sq. mi. of land and about 9.17 sq. mi. of waters and harbors, or a total of 39.37 sq. mi. Metropolitan Jacksonville has a total area of 844.75 sq. mi. Jacksonville’s pop ulation estimate is 235,300; the county’s 441,200. Jacksonville is the industrial capital for the State of Florida and South Georgia. A wide range of products include food, chemi cals, transportation, lumber and lumber products, machinery, pa per and paper products. Jackson ville has an excellent landlocked natural harbor with a thirty-four foot channel to the Atlantic. The city has become recognized as a center of barge operations through the scheduled service of common carriers and frequent service of contract carriers. A cosmopolitan city which has retained the friendliness and hos pitality of the Old South, Jackson ville is an attractive city with 184 public parks located in all sec tions of the city. Swimming, golf, tennis, boating and sailing are all popular sports, but fishing is prob ably the most popular. Fresh and salt water fish abound in the riv ers, streams and the nearby At lantic Ocean. A wide variety oi spectator sports may also be en joyed, including the annual Gatoi Bowl Game, the Georgia-Florid* football game and a baseball team in the Class A Sally League.
