J NCEA Enjoys Group Singing A panel discussion on the ad vantages of the National Educa tional Association, led by Mrs. Phillip Kelly of Newberry High School, was the main topic of int erest at the November meeting of the Newberry County Education Association held Thursday after noon, November 17, in the New berry High School auditorium. Those taking part in the panel were Miss Pearle Stockman, prin cipal of Park Street Elementary School at Whitmire, who discuss ed the necessity of having nation al organizations; Superintendent R. E. Beck of the Newberry Ele mentary School, who told about the 1,400 publications of the Na tional Education Association; Sup erintendent John G. Long of the Silverstreet area, who told of the legislation made possible by the National Education Association. The entertainment for the af ternoon was furnished in the form of group singing led by Misses Juanita Hitt and Rose Hamm. Miss Hitt discussed the importance of patriotic music. A group of girls which included Donna Rook, Jean Jones, Barbara Youmans, Marcia Todd, and Donna Garnett, accom- -panied at the piano by Miss Hitt, sang three different musical com positions of Timrcd’s “Carolina.” The last one, “America”, “Am erica, the Beautiful”, and “The Star Spangled Banner” followed. The devc tional period was led by Mrs. Mabel W. Douglas, sen ior English teacher at Whitmire. After reports and business, the most important being the report on the year book and the treasur er’s report, the meeting, presided over by the president, Mrs. Emma Julia Irons, adjourned. Income School Tax Low South Carolina’s per capita in come, while ’still low, is climbing faster than the national average, according to Mrs. Emma J. B. Irons, Newberry, President of the Newberry County education asso ciation. % It was pointed out that the per capita income increased six per cent in the country as a whole in 1959 while South Carolina’s in crease was eight per cent. Per capita income in the U, S. was $2,170 and in South Carolma, $1,- 332 for lP r ,3. South Carolina is spending about $200 per child for current operat ing expenses of the schools while the national average is nearly twice that amount. Newbertry county ranks 13 in per capita income and 24 in the amount spent per child in average daily attendance. “As our economy expands and more industries come to our state,” Mrs. Irons said, “we must be sure that our schools are not neglected. The additional income of our people should produce ad ditional tax revenues for support of the schools and other worthy purposes. “The sales tax revenue continues to climb and total tax collections for the first quarter of the present fiscal year are above those of the corresponding period last year— despite the fact that a tremen dous increase was recorded then.” Bt-yan Succumbs John R.

(Q) “In 1957 I had a double, valve heart operation. Since then I have noticed two spots in my left eye. What causes .them? win they get worse?” Mrs. E. T. (A) I don’t know what con nection there could be between the operation and these spots. It is probably a coincidence. There are several causes for spots before the eyes most of which are not serious. If you have not been examined by an ophthalmologist (eye spe cialist), I would advise this. (Q) “I have had trouble with my feet, legs and back for 13 years. I have worn different shoes and even had a pair made, but with no good results. X-rays show flat feet but no oilier abnormalities. I do only housework. The muscles in my legs are stiff and sore from morning until night. What is wrong and what should I do?” Mrs. H. S. (A) There are many causes for stiff, sore muscles but usually fatigue is involved. If you are overweight, this could be a ma jor factor. If you had some dis ease as a child during which your muscles, nerves or joints (especially the hips and knees) were involved, even though it left no obvious deformity, it may be the source of your trou ble. The cause may be something simple such as vitamin deficien cy, varicose veins, etc\ If you have not been examined by an orthopedic doctor (bone special ist) I would advise this. As I have mentioned in previ ous articles, frequent hot baths are very soothing to stiff sore muscles no matter what the cause. . From Anna F. Soper, Highland Park, Mich.: I remember when older children were kept home during Summer to work in the fields and in Winter, the younger ones kept home, due to cold weather and snow. • t Each morning the teacher ar rived early, made a fire in the wood stove, swept the floor and placed a pail of fresh water on a front seat. Beside it Jay a tin cup from which we all drank, dirty hands, dirty faces, germs, etc. A few of us are still here and spend time to reminisce at each op portunity. We attended Sunday School and prayer meetings in the same lit tle schoolhouse. When I was about eight years of age, I was returning from a visit with my grandparents when , I saw an animal in a swamp be side the corduroy road. I ran until nearly exhausted, then turned around, expecting to see the animal chasing me. But he was not in sight. I hurried home and informed the family. I told them I had seen an animal, pos sibly a bear. They investigated and found a wounded porcupine. The sound which I heard so close behind me was the rustling of my stiffly-starched petticoats. We wore sun bonnets at that time so we would not become tanned or have freckles. There was a little table in grandma’s bedroom, which contained a drawer in which we were sure to find stick candy or peppermint lozenges. The little table is one hundred fifteen years old and one of my most cherished possessions. Send contributions to this colons to The Old Timer, Commoolty Press Service, Box 39, Frankfort.

Johnson and Company Items for Sale, Swap or Trade PUBLIC SERVICE No Charge —ON— WKDK 1240 Kc. HE DID NT SHOW UP AG/MNI.w WHAT SHOULD X DO.„? THIS WEEK’S LETTEE: “I have a problem about a certain boy I like. He is 15 and I am 15. This boy doesn’t know I like him. But when I go to talk to him, he just walks away. And what do you think about going steady with another boy. And what should I do about this boy? He has asked me to go to the show with him and when I am ready I wait for him and he doesn’t show up. What should I do about this?” OUR ANSWER: We can’t see where there is too much of a prob lem ‘‘of what to do” about a boy who just walks away when you try to talk to him. He is obvious ly rude or disinterested—and not worth bothering with. Certainly, if he is not least polite and friend ly, he would not make the best of companions on a date. It’a more fun to be with people who are friendly and likeable. This column in the post sev eral times pondered over what is the best avenue of approach to the problem of dealing with a teen ager who will make a date and not show up. There are sometimes good reasons for not being able to keep an engagement, but we are speaking of the boy or girl who either “breaks” a date or “fails to show” without giving any excuse at all. From some of the letters we re ceive, we are inclined to believe there are a few boys who make dates when they never had any intention of showing up. Why they do it is not quite clear, but some of them do. In the opinion of this writer, a girl should always qay “no” the first time a particular boy asks for a date. We don’t mean she should say “No, I don’t want to go out with you.” We mean, that she should say something along these tr%sr stabiYi d Yin M for that time.< Please ask me again.” If. the boy is really inter ested, chances are that he will immediately say, “O.K., then, how about the next night.” It works ex actly this way more times than it misfires. Some teenage girls get the ’dating” fever and spend their time waiting for a boy—any boy —to ask them for a date. If he fails to show up, they still say “yes” the next time he asks them for a date. Sooner or later they learn that when they begin to say “no” to some of these boys they will begin to act more like gentle men.
