NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, M. ~ hjf 3)orU v r *i \\ A SUGGESTION May I suggest that you be sure to read the Couuty Agent’s col umn this week. Contained therein is a description of "stinging cat erpillars.” This may not sound of interest, but you just might be .glad you read it, especially if you are outdoors much. ) Several weeks ago our little Ruthie came in from the back yard screaming at the top of her lungs. / She had been playing on the swing set, and we thought she had fall en and broken an arm or leg. She was so hysterical we had trouble finding out what was wrong with her. Finally we saw a large red spot on her arm. We realized it was a sting of some sort, and packed it with soda, later with other medicines we had in the house. Her daddy went to see if he could find the source of trou ble, and he did. It was one of the stinging caterpillars, described by the County Agent as a "flannel moth.” An area several inches long on Ruthie’s arm became swollen onH inflamed. Her entire arm was numb. This happened about four o'clock and it was midnight before the pain subsided enough that she could go to sleep. There are many of these little varmints around . . . they might fall from a tree and land on your arm and the sting will be almost as bad as Ruthie’s. If you read the agents column, you will know what action to take should you become tangled up with one of these little pests. industry and I believe that majority of those in are doing just that. It was ai nounced at the luncheon that Richard Higgins, president of the Kendall company, had traveled 60 miles to try to talk a prospect into locating in Newberry. You may know that Mr. Higgins didn’t think much of the business clim ate of Newberry a year or so ago; if his mind has been changed, there is some reason for the change and I believe it is because he has been convinced that New berry business WILL support its fine industries when a show down comes. ANOTHER ELVIS? Someone suggests that an apt name for the Republicans to hang on Jack Kennedy would be “Elvis” said name seeming ap propriate because of thpe number of teen-agers who gather around the candidate and squeal when he shows himself. I do not think a man’s looks should be held against him, but to save my life I can’t see how Kennedy can be described as “handsome.” Richard Nixon is no pretty boy either, but at least, he looks a little more dignified than Kennedy. On sec ond thought, perhaps “handsome” is appropriate. I decided to look up the word in the dictionary and Webster gives as one meaning of the word “liberal.” Certainly Mr. Kennedy is liberal with the tax payer’s money, so maybe that is the reason for the designation! THE “NEW YEAR” category blue ribbon in the Flower Show at the County Fair was won by Mrs. Guy V. Whitener Sr. with the arrangement shown above. Mrs. Whitener is a member of CTree n Thumb Garden Club.

County Fair Continues As Exhibit PERIOD It was amusing to read the other day one of those Democrat political ads which tell you no thing of what the Democrats and their candidates have done or will do for you, but use all their space to revile Richard Nixon. I mentioned this last week. In their latest ad, they use a of columns telling you all re They conclude with wards to the effect “Now do you want to vote for Nixon (who has done these things) or Kennedy. There ended the ad. The amusing thing was how quickly the paragraph was cut off when it reached the name of their beloved Kennedy. Wonder why they didn’t tell you what Kennedy and the Democrats have done? FOOTBALL TALK ) Things will be quiet oH ; the foot ball front in Newberry' 1 thia week end, with both high school and college playing away from home. Newberry High put another point in the victory column last week, winning over Wade Hamp ton High of Greenville. Newberry College lost a heartbreaker to Wofford in the last minutes of the game at the Orangeburg Fair lust Friday afternoon. ffte Redskins travel way out to Troy, Alabama, hoping for another win after two straight losses. The high school Bulldogs will be in Chester. Both games will be broadcast over WKDK, so if you can’t go, tune in. Clemson will be playing Mary land at College Park Saturday af ternoon. Air time for Jimmy Cog gins and the Clemson Radio net work will be 1:45. A GOOD SIGN Probably a lot of citizens were complaining this year when they got their city tax notices because of the increased millage. They will perhaps complain even more .next year when bonds are sold to build new schools for Newberry and the county tax millage is in creased to pay for same. But having to dig a little deeper at tax time may pay off. It was in teresting to note that the speak ers at the industrial luncheon held here Monday at the Country club emphasized the importance of putting community ahead of personal desires. Industry seeking a place to lo cate looks at the schools. They don’t see much when they look at Boundary and Speers street, but now industry seekers can say “but Newberrians voted a million ' dollar bond issue to replace those old schools.” Next year, we hope to have something better to show those who come to Newberry to look us over before deciding ; where $o locate a plant. Another argument in favor of Newberry, is that we are willing to sacrifice, to the extent of in creased taxes, to expand our city limits. This, too, will make a fav orable impression, even though our census figures didn’t ; ump much in the past decade. As Charlie Daniel said, “you’ve got a problem in Newberry , be cause of organized labor.” The only way that can be combatted is by the merchants and business men of Newberry in particular, and by the whole community in general. We MUST show that we support our local industries when a show-down comes (and one of these days it will come) be tween management and labor un ions. We MUST let prospective industry know that management, which does not exploit its labor, will be supported against unreas onable demands of labor unions. Only in this way will Newberry have a chance. It has everything else: college, schools, churches, attractive community, necessary facilities, such as power and wa- , ter ,and fine plant sites. The bu siness men of our city must take the initiative now in attracting Chairman Of Artist Series The five-program 1960-61 Art ists Series at the University of South Carolina opened Wednesday with Lorrin Hollander, 16-year-old concert pianist. November 16, the Atlanta Sym phony will be the Artist Series attraction, and Varel and Bailly, French folk singers, will be heard. Feb. 9. Carlos Montoya, acclaimed as the world’s greatest flamence gui tarist, will appear March 12. ( The final 1960-61 presentation will take place April 15 with the appearance of the Bill Thompson Duo, organ and voice. The USC Artist Series begins its third season this fall. John Chappell of Newberry is chairman. By MRS. A. H.
