MAKES IT CLEAR
D. P. (Jabbo) Folk would like to
make it clear to the public that he
does NOT have any intentions of
running for the office of Probate
Judge, being vacated at the end
of this year by E. Maxcy Stone,
who has stated that he will not of
fer for re-election.
“I thought I could best .serve
the people of Newberry County in
the House of Representatives, and
that is why I entered the contest
for that position. 1 have made ev
ery effort to serve our citizens,
and I am still of the opinion that
I can do more good as a represen
tative to the General Assembly
than as Probate Judge of Newber
ry County.
“I have never cxmsuhired offer
ing for the position,” (continued
Mr. Folk, "and 1 cannot under
stand how the rumor began, or
why it persists, that J will be a
candidate for the office of Pro
bate Judge.
“I am now announcing my in
tentions of seeking re-election to
the JJouse in the Democratic pri
mary this summer.”
WORKERS PAY
I wonder how many of our local
JLFL-CIO labor union members
realize that their big bosses have
upped the ante that members must
cough up so said big bosses can
continue to live in luxury ?
Following is a portion of a re
port of the December Convention
of AFLr-CIG.
“The AFLr-CIO concluded its
annual convention, held at the
plush Americana Hatt-l in tropical
Miami Beach, Fla. Officials and
delegates sat around in the same
manner as did the old t’me “Bar
ons of Industry” and were able to
jsqueeze a few more pennies out of
the working man’s paysrheck to pay
for their lush living. The conven
tion was conveniently scheduled
for December 7-13 to include a
long week-end so the overworked
delegates could drink in some of
the beauties of this interesting
part of the country. Actions taken
at the convention but not too w r ell
advertised to the rank and file
workers included:
“Raised the AFL-CIO per capita
tax for each worker member from
5c to 7c (40 per cent) per month.
With their advertised membership
of 12.5 million, this means an in
come .to the AFL-CIO hierarchy
of $875,000 per month, or $10,-
505,000 each year. There was no
objection to the increase from the
delegates (who will directly bene
fit.) The 12.5 million workers,
who have to pay it, weren’t ask-
ved.”
Perhaps this additional money
was needed for the big bosses to
take a nice trip to Puerto Rico, be
cause the Executive Council (big
Rosses) called a meeting for Feb.
26, 1962 at San Juan, Puerto Rioo
(even more tropical than Miami)
do “consider steps to carry out the
mandates voted by tRe conven
tion.” There was no closing date
for this tropical sojourn far away
frxun the wintry blasts howling
around the AFL-CIO building in
downtown Washington.
Ihn sure it makes you union
members happy to be paying for
your great leaders to have a trop
ical vacation while ycu are going
to work every day in freezing
weather.
HOW MANY?
I wonder how srany congress
men will give any serious consid
eration to the President’s request
for tax cutting authority? In ad
dition to the overwhelming power 1
which would be put in one man’s
hands by such action, the Congress
would be handing the Democrats
the biggest political plum anyone
could ask for. There is little doubt
that if he hail such authority, the
President would see no need to
use it—until the next presidential
election yea-r.
Talk of cutting taxes (as much
as I would like to see it happen)
at this time, with the tremendous
national debt and the government
running into the red every year,
is foolishness. Wha t the President
should he talking of is cutting ex
penses. Rut while, in one breath,
he says “we may have to cut
taxes,” in the next breath, he says
we must spend, spend, spend.
Does it not concern you .that
the President and the bureaucrats
of Washington are working stren
uously to bring about Washington
control* of every phase of our lives?
With too many cimtriJs *over us
already, the administration will
push hard again this year to gain
control of schools through aid to
education; control of medical care
through the Social .Security de
vice.; and a big push will be made
this year to gain control of muni
cipalities through the establish
ment of a Department of Urban
Affairs.
If you are concerned, write to
your Senators, Strom Thurmond
and Olin D. Johnston, Senate Of
fice Building, and Congressman W.
J. Bryan Dorn, House Office
Building, Washington, D. C. and
let them know’ how you feel.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Gracious Father, who hast
made us in Thine image, and
made .us for Thyself, show us
how to be in the world and
yet net of the -world. Teach us
to listen to the still small
voice of Thy spirit who would
awaken within us the consci
ousness of the forgiving grace
of God; of our proneness to
do evil and of our slothfulness
in doing good; of the limitness
possibilities for making a bet
ter world that lie before us
when our hearts are cleansed
from sin and renewed by the
power of Thy Spirit. We pray
in Jesus name. Amen.
Many of Newberry County’s
outstanding leaders are preparing
to help Newberry 'College in its
coming Building and Endowment
program. The Trustees of the Col
lege have established three objec
tives requiring a minimum of $ly
Of o ,000. These major objectives’
are.
1. A 21-Class-room building wiltih
faculty offices and consultation
rooms. This will replace the «Jd
wmoden worn out temporary war
training buildings now referred ito
by the stndente as “splinter brill.”
2. A ChapeLAuditorium with a
seating capacity adequate to take
care of the entire student body.
3. Additional Endowment t» as
sure the retention and expansion
of a facaal&r crif The highest qasBlity.
John F. (Clarkson of Newberry,
serving as general chairman the
Local Communities Support said,
“Newberry College is one <of the
county’s greatest assets. If wee did
not have an institution of higher
education here we would gladly
work hard to have such a college
located in our midst. Since we do
have Newberry, a fully accreaiited
liberal-arts College, we must pro
vide it with a faculty and ade
quate educational equipment and
facilities to give our own area stu
dents, along with others, the op
portunity they have a light ~be ex
pect.

THAT'S THE KIND
I seem to be writing more about
Ed Blackwell since he left town
than I ever wrote when he was
here, but I quota the following as
an example of the kind of man
city council should pick to fill the
*11 important city manager post.
A year or so ago, a prominent
ettazens was doing some remodel
ing work on his house. He was
having wiring installed in a small
room and had planned to put in
only one wall outlet. He was told
by employees of the city utility
department that the building code
required more.
“This is foolish,” thought our
friend. “I’ll just call Ed Blackewll
and get that fixed up. .After all,
we play golf together, we belong
to the same club, we’ve been
friends a long time; I’m sure he
won’t make me put in all those
outlets.”
So our friend called Ed and
told him the situation. “Didn’t the
utility man tell you how many
outlets were required?” asked Ed.
“Then that’s the way it w T ill be. I
don’t know why you called me!”
Our friend said his first reaction
was one of anger, but the more
he thought about it, the more he
realized Ed was right.
The man who shows no favorit
ism—that’s the kind of man we
need to run the city.
Youth To Sell ,
Doughnuts
The Methodist Semcrs from the
following chunehes will be selling
doughnuts on Saturday: Central,
Ebenezer, Lebanon, Lewis, New
Chapel, O’Neal and Trinity. The
money made fresan two doughnat
sales will be used to buy a chain
saw for the Methsdist Youth camp
which is being built in the moun
tains of North Carolina.
At the present time there is
only the home of the superintend
ent on the camp site, but much
clearing is being done and by sum
mer time, several cottages should
be completed.
THE ANNUAL CUB SCOUT JAMBOREE, for all cub dens of
Newberry County, was held Saturday at Mid-Carolina High School.
On hand to conduct the event was Bill Brackett, district Scout exe
cutive of Greenville. Among the events was a turtle race and the
winner was Doug Bowers, son of Oscar Bowers of Posperity. Sec
ond place went to Gene Smith, son of H. C. Smith of Newberry.
Mr. Brackett presents the prize to Doug, in the center as Gene
looks on. The cubs enjoyed a number of other games and con
tests, as well as a picnic supper with their families joining in.
Lee-Jackson Day
Observance Set
Each year the United Daugh
ters of the Confederacy Chapters
in Newberry hold an observance
of Lee-Jackson day. This year,
Drayton Rutherford chapter is in
charge of the program, which
will be held Friday, January 26
at Newberry high school auditor
ium at 9:30 a.m.
Mrs. Ralph Baker, president of
Drayton Rutherford, will preside.
Hon. Steve C. Griffith Jr., will
be speaker. The invocation will be
spoken by Prof. J. V .Kneece and
special music will be in charge of
Miss Juanita Hitt.
The public is cordially invited
to attend this special program.
Since the 8th grade is no longer
at the high school, those interest
ed in attending are reminded that
there will be ample seating cap
acity in the auditorium.
The County Board of Education
at its regular meeting Tuesday
night, heard a delegation seeking
certain changes at Galiman High
School, heard the report of the
state Fire Marshal and elected
superintendents to serve for the
1962-63 school ye .r.
All superintendents were re-el
ected, as follows:
Newberry High, J. V. Kneece;
Newberry Elementary, R. E. Beck;
Drayton Street, Eugene S. Schum-
pert; Silverstreet, J. G. Long;
Bush River, Charles E. Wise; N.
P. Robinson, Whitmire, W. R.
Lominick, Pomaria, Lester D.
Bunton, Little Mountain, C. S.
Williams, Mid-Carolina, and H. M.
Bedenbaugh, Prosperity.
The fire marshal found that
practically ovary .school in the
county, except the new ones, need
ed to have panic bar hardware in-
tailed on doors; that in several
kitchens, wnt hoods needed to be
cleaned out; that at Silverstreet,
the coal stoves in the auditorium
should be ^safely installed”; that
fire escapes at most buildings, in
stalled only a year or two ago,
were improperly installed and
should be changed; that junior
high school should be provided
thnopghout with a sprinkler sys
tem;; that .several fire extinguish
ers should be replaced with a non
toxic type.
Supt. of Ed. James D. Brown
stated that most of these items
had been Taken care of, except the
hardware, fire escapes and sprink
ler system.
The Board passed a resolution to
write to the State Finance Com
mission urging that funds from
that source be provided for New
berry County at the earliest pos
sible date; also to wrrite the New
berry County Delegation urging
the enactment of legislation en
abling the County Board to borrow
money from the State Sinking
Fund when and if such money
should be needed to complete build
ing .and repair work on schools in
the .county.
The Board members signed a
voucher approving the final pay
ment to Yeargin Construction
Company for Boundary and Speers
school buildings, but instructed
Mr. Brown to be positive the con
tractor realized he was to assume
responsibility for anything which
might go wrong with the .consrruc-
tktn of the buildings for a year.
Lack of such understanding in the
past, said the Bt ard, had been the
source of .many a headache.
Mr. Brown was also asked to
report to the next Board meeting
the total amount expended on the
two new schools, and the amount
of money remaining in the build
ing and repair fund.
Gerald Paysinger, chairman of
the board, stated .that summer
time when school is out of ses
sion would be an ideal time to
have the old school buildings raz
ed, if this could be worked out
The Board discusssed disposition of
items remaining in the old schools,
kut did not come to a final conclu
sion as to what would be done
with them.
Mr. Brown reported that mem
bers of the State Finance Com-
misrion had looked at the gymna
sium at Drayton Street School to
see whether it would be feasible
to use it for a cafeteria. The Com
mission did not encourage this
possibility, but suggested that a
kitchen and storage room be built
adjoining the auditorium, which
could be used to serve the stu
dents. He said most of the needed
equipment for the cafeteria would
be available from closed schools.
Dr. John Roche, board member
from Whitmire, commended Ralph
Watkins, school director, for or
ganizing the conference on Edu
cation for National Survival held
in Newberry last week.
