College Shares
In Two Grants
Newberry College will share in
the 1961 grants of $540,000 made
to education institutions and or
ganizations by The General Foods
Fund, Inc.
This year’s grants bring to more
than $3.5 million the aid supplied
to education since the Fund was
established in 1953, according to
Leonard F .Gnez, Fund president.
Since its inception, General
Foods Fund has emphasized that
the grants are, with few excep
tions, unrestricted because it is
recognized that educators them
selves are in the best po- ition to
know how to use most effectively
the funds they receive. Based on
reports from institutions receiving
grants, about half of the funds has
been used for faculty salary im
provement programs, he said.
Newberry College is one of nine
institutions that will share in a
$9,000 grant to the South Caro
lina Foundation of Independent
Colleges, Inc., made under the 1961
aid-to-education program of Un
ited States Steel Foundation, Inc.
South Carolina institutions
sharing in this grant are Coker
College, Columbia College, Con
verse College, Erskine College,
Furman University, Lfmastone
College, Newberry College, Pres
byterian College, and Wofford Col
lege.

postmaster for 39 years, retiring

sistant postmaster, retiring a few
months ago.
During the early years, the mail
was brought to Little Mountain
from Pomaria some two or three
times weekly, according to Mrs.
Claude Lathan of Newberry, the
oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Boland. Mrs. Lathan says until
her sister, Anna, was appointed,
she and another sister, Mrs. Farr,
and other daughters of the family
assisted her father with the mail.
Murray Counts succeeded Miss
Boland and served for two years.

served for about two years, then
Birdie Frick was acting postmas
ter for about a year.
