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!

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
