COUNTS According to a custom of more than half a century the Drayton JRutherford and Calvin Crozier Chapters of the United Daugh ters of the Confederacy observed 'the birthday of Gen. Robert Ed* •ward Lee and Gen. Thomas Jona than Jackson with a school pro gram. The program was held in the auditorium of the Newberry High School Friday during the chapel hour. The speaker was Steve C. Griffith, a member of the S. C. House of Representatives from Newberry County. “We should remember these two great men not only for their great military achievements,” Mr. Griffith told the students “but for their devotion and sac rifices for their country.” The speaker pictured the world situation in regard to the free world and communism and said “the only hope of our country in the free world rests with the youth of our nation. They can be of service by preparing themselves to study their math or history and •try to understand what they Jearn.” He reminded them of a quotation in the school library, “What you are to become you are now becoming.” “You serve your country bet ter by preparing yourself now for that duty, Mr. Griffith said. “You have the opportunities for greatness if you are willing to sacrifice for your country. We need your people more than we need anything else. Y’ou are our greatest assets.” Mr. Griffith recalled the devo tion and duty of Lee and Jackson to their country. Mrs. Ralph B. Baker, president of Drayton Rutherford Chapter, presented Mrs. Robert Downs Wright, past general president of the UDC; Mrs. Seth Meeks, vice president of the Calvin Crozier Chapter; Mrs. Elmer Shealy, div ision corresponding secretary for the UDC of South Carolina, and Mrs. Walter Summer, Ridge Dis trict director. Mrs. Wright has missed few such school programs in 50 years. Citizens Home Is Placed In Receivership The Citizens Home Insurance company of Columbia, formerly of Newberry, was placed in receiver ship Tuesday by order of Fifth Circuit Judge John Grimball. Grimball named chief South Carolina Insurance Commissioner William F. Austin receiver for the company. “The company has been under close observation by the insurance department for a considerable per iod of time,” Austin said. “The license of the company was sus pended Dec. 31, 1961.” Austin said the petition for re ceivership was presented to the court “when all efforts toward rehabilitating the company were exhausted.” The insurance department had earlier set a hearing February 2 for company officers to appear and defend the license, but Austin said the Citizens Home officials ap peared in Grimball’s court, stated that further efforts would be un availing, and consented to the pe tition for receivership. The company dealt in casualty and general automobile liability insurance and was licensed only in South Carolina. An insurance department spokes man estimated that there were 25,000 policyhouders.
