VISIT TO PARK
IS URGED
Hal Kohn, president of the
Newberry Civic League, this week
urged citizens of this section and
visitors to take time out to visit
Margaret Hunter park. I
Mr. Kohn said “A stroll through
the grounds is suggested, so you
can take in more of the beauty
that .iature, plus the continued
and loving attention of the Civic
League, has brought to this lovely
spot. If you do not feel like stroll
ing around then park on Pope
Terrace and enjoy the verdant
beauty from a slight distance.
Pope Terrace, as many will recall
is the park’s side on which the
Christmas manger scene is placed
each year by the league. From
College or Nance streets, turn at
Chapman to reach the park.
“Suggestions for the improve-f
ment of the park will be most
welcomed.” continued Mr. Kohn,
“Also, any ideas that may occur
to you as to ways in which the
park can be used more often for
the enjoyment of the people.
Mail your suggestions on a card
or letter addressed to the Civic
League, Route 2, Box 148-A. They
will be studied by the executive
committee and will be appreciat
ed.

As commemorated by a bronze
plaque, the present Calhoun Life
Building in Charleston, South
Carolina marks the site of the
Institute Hall, in which the
Ordinance of Secession was
signed in 1860. The ordinance,
unanimously approved in the
small St. Andrews Hall nearby,
set up South Carolina as an
independent state, an act which
contributed to the formation of
the Confederacy and to four
years of internal strife.
In South Carolina today, beer
is linked more and more to the
state’s economy and way of life.
Revenue from this beverage of
moderation plays an important
part in helping the state provide
funds for schools and other
worthy purposes. Counties and
cities also us^ their share of this
revenue for many worthwhile
causes. And the United States
Brewers Association contin
uously works for wholesome
conditions wherever beer and
ale are served.
