NEWrBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1960 $2.oi> Pi B i'TI , *^ ay Interest In By Dorla SEMEMiEfe to vote" May I urge that you remember to cast your vote in the Demo cratic primary next Tuesday ? Many a good candidate has been defeated because his supporters have' said “he’s going to win any way. I won’t bother to vote.” There are some good men (why .can't Newberry have some female politicians?) running for office, and your favorite candidate ha-j a better chance of winning if you will bestir yourself and get to the polls, which will be open all day for your convenience. A few pre cincts close at 4 p.m. (see elec tion notice elsewhere in this is- j sue) but most stay open until six. , As in the past, The Sun will tabulate returns and you will hear them immediately on Radio Station WKDK. Tune in your ra dio shortly after 4 p.m. Tuesday. Because only a few precincts close at 4, returns will be slow until about 6:30, then business will pick up. Stay tuned ’til it’s over. June 14 Election A MISTAKE To say that an article was “in advertently omitted” or that cut lines under a picture were “inad vertently transposed” is just a nice way of saying we made a mistake . . . and we made a couple of them last week. In some way, I missed one of the awards given last week at high school commencement. In listing the honors won by Miss Charlene Golden, a very coveted award was left off. Each year, Mr. Harry Dominick gives a scholarship medal to that member of the graduating class who has made the highest record in any course during the four years in high school. The medal is given in memory of Mr. Dominick’s sis ter and is nam^d the Elizabeth Dominick Scholarship Medal. My Apologies to Miss Golden, / Mr. Dominick, and everyone else con- cerned. - — - Also last week, in making up the front page, I got the pictures of the two Oakland groups re versed, so the names under the pictures were wrong. I am sure you figured it out, but I.want to apologize to' D. O. Carpenter and the others who were in the photos for getting the story and names mixed up. r* IF IT FITS There’s an old saying, “if the shoe fits, wear it.” I have often expressed opinions a* to what’s wrong with our school system. To get down to brass tacks, I expect the princi pal factor hindering teachers in their efforts at instruction is par ents. The parents to blame fall in several categories. There are those who just don’t care whether their children have an education, and send them to school only be cause they think it is required by law, or to get them out from underfoot. These children have no encouragement from home, and al though a smart child shows , up once in a while from such an en vironment, usually they are a drag on the remainder of their class. Then there are parents who are satisfied if their lildren barely “get by” offering no en couragement or incentive, such as the threat of a good wallop if they don’t study and do better. The third category of parents consists of those who pay no at tention to their children’s grades until the last six weeks of school. Then, realizing there will be fail ures, and appalled at the idea of giving up a vacation and money so the child can go to summer school, they see that their chil dren do what they should have been doing all year—start study ing. In many cases the child comes up with good grades the last six weeks, but not good en ough to pull up the sorry ones col lected throughout the year. Then coals of fire are heaped on the beads* of the teacher, or principal, or anyone except the child and his parents, who are really to blame. . ’teachers have learned to expect a certain amount of unjust criti cism from parents, but it under- stan<|ably irritates them to find that many parents are only con cerned about whether, their child passes when it threatens to can cel a' vacation or | cost a yittle money. As*for those children who bare ly squeeze by, some teachers re commend that they repeat their grade, because of immaturity, or in order to get a more solid foun dation for higher grades; but par ents throw up their hands in hor ror at such a suggestion, then No. 6i Magistrate Andrew F. Shealy is opposed by C. B. Metts. All other county officers whose expired this year were no- . T d without opposition. The last of five campaign tings will be held Saturday $• at the new Court Nouse.

U. S. Senate aspirants are Strom Thurmond, incumbent, and R. Beverley Herbert, Sr. of Col umbia. The latter announced that he had no expectations of winning the election, but wanted a plat form from which to air his views on certain subjects. Both the Sen ator and Mr. Herbert have been campaigning via persfonai ap pearance and television, but no close race is expected. blame the teacher when the child gets to junior high or high school and is not able to comprehend the work. Incidentally, the teachers are thankful that there are also good parents—those who Are truly con cerned, and discuss problems with teachers throughout the year, ra ther than waiting the last six weeks to try for a magic cure-all. This is the only statewide race, and the term of office is six years. Congressman W. J. Bryan Dorn of the Third Congressional Dis trict is unopposed. In the Eighth Judicial circuit, composed of the counties of New berry, Laurens, Abbeville and Greenwood,Hugh Beasley, former solicitor, is seeking to unseat the incumbent, William T. Jones. So licitor Jones won the position af ter a hotly contested three-way race eight years ago. He was un opposed for his second term. The solicitor serves four years. On the eounty level, Jesse Frank Hawkins, farmer and business man, and Earl Bergen, merchant, are working for the seat being vacated by R. Aubrey Harley, who i is completing a four year term as state senator and did not offer for re-election. Hawkins’ first venture into politics was when he ran for the House of Representa tives four years ago and was elected by a large majority. He was successful in his bid for re- election and is serving his fourth year in the House. Bergen served one term in the House, and was defeated for the Senate four years ago only a handful of votes. T. William Hunter, member of the House for several terms, seeks to return to the job. Two representatives are to be named, and others on the ballot will be D. P. (Jabbo) Follf, who made a good, but unsuccessful race for the House two years ago, and Steve C. Griffith, Jr., local attor ney and political newcomer. The only other county-wide of fice in contest is that of super visor. S. W. Shealy, who has downed all opponents for a num ber of years, is being opposed by Harold B. Hendrix, agriculture teacher of Prosperity, another newcomer to politics. Carman Bouknight, incumbent Commissioner DiKirict No. 1, is being opposed by Adam L. Tese- niar of Whitmire. Ross George, incumbent Commissioner District No. 2, is opposed by S. Virgil Williamson. Magistrate Tallye Hugh Shealy of District No. 4 is opposed by L. H. Kingsmore;* District No. *5 Magistrate J.
