Y Y A* + $2.00 PER YEAR By The Way By Doris A. Sanders HAPPY BIRTHDAY I would like to wish a belated, but very happy birthday to Mrs. P. G. Ellesor. I had the best of intentions of going by to say this in person Tuesday, but be fore I could get there, the “boss” got sick, the doc sent him to the hospital, and this resulted in a state of confusion (which still exists). So I never did get there. I understand she baked two birthday cakes to serve friends who stopped by, and I sure am sorry to have missed this treat. I’ll make a date now for a piece of Mrs. Ellesor’s birthday cake next year. THE BOSS Since I mentioned that the boss is in the hospital, I’d better men tion further that so far as I know, there isn’t anything ser iously wrong with him, except that he works himself to the point of exhaustion. The doctor thought he should have a couple of tests— so he said—but I expect what the doctor really thought was that he needed a good rest. We agreed to let him take a couple of days off but he’d better hurry back, if he expects The Sun to keep shining. jX WwmSmimb An organizational meeting was held last week to lay plans for the 1962 Red Cross Fund and Blood Donor campaign, wh’^h will begin about March 19th, according to Lawrence Richardson, chairman of the county Red Cross chapter.

THE SYSTEM The County Board of Education hasn’t asked my advice and very probably doesn’t want it, but Pd like to remind the members of that body of a well-known fact: when a person is carried to court, on any sort of charge, he is pre sumed innocent until he is proven to be guilty. I’m sure all of these gentlemen have been in our courts and most of them have probably served as jurors. They have yet to hear a judge make a charge that doesn’t begin by assuring the jurors that the defendant is presumed innocent when he comes into court; and that the xhnrging party must prove, beyond any and , all reasonable doubt, whatever | ^ ^"ed. talents bemg_ of- charges are made against the de fendant Prof. Kelly Will Again Steer Easter Seal Fund Campaign “Miss Newberry” To Be Named In Jaycee Sponsored Contest An excellent opportunity for Newberry County girls to display I am wondering if the members of our Board of Education didn’t forget this fact when they took the action they did in “executive” session last Tuesday night. If a man desires, he is entitled to an open hearing when a charge is made against him; and I mean a hearing that is open to the pub lic, at which the accuser and ac cused face each other before the “bar of justice” if it can be so termed. Thus far I haven’t seen much justice. fered in the Miss Newberry Beauty Pageant, a Miss America preliminary contest, which is to be staged in the local high school auditorium on Wednesday night, March 28. According to the affair’s co- chairmen, Dr. James E. Wiseman and Charles Dukes, “Too often young ladies who possess excep tional talents never have an op portunity to display them so that the local citizens may pass judg ment. WVre offering such an op portunity on March 28.” They added, “It isn’t that the t J ^ hometown folks aren’t interested I am not going into a lot of de- . . 4. i 4. j i j tail—yet—about what happened at the executive session, and the results; but before the gentlemen take further action in the direction in which they have started, I would suggest they think over what I have said. Get Experience In Teaching On Monday morning, March 5, 43 students from Newberry col lege began practice teaching in the Newberry high, Newberry Junior High, Saluda High, and Hollywood High schools, also in Boundary Street and Speer street schools.

The ‘local young man’s organization has already made most of the final preparations for the event with all of the con testants and judges having been lined up. Sonny Gray, president of the Taycees, explains, “This year’s pageant is important to as for several reasons.

In accepting the Easter Seal chairmanship, Mr. Kelly said: “To participate in so inspiring and at thesame time so practical a cause as crippled children is irresistible. I feel very privileged to again head the Eas ter Seal campaign. This is a great American voluntary organization that has been doing a tremendous job for 41 years in the United States, and to have a part in con tinuing its services and perhaps expanding them in our community is a challenge I welcome. “I invite the cooperation of everyone who has ever seen or known a crippled child. We will need that help if we are to meet our obligation to help our help less children.” The Easter Seal campaign will be conducted by nearly 1400 Eas ter Seal State and local affiliates of the National Society for Crip pled Children and Adults through out the United States. Each year Easter Seals provide rehabilita tion care to a quarter of a million crippled children and adults re gardless of cause of crippling, race, religion, national background, or economic status. In South Carolina last year, Easter Seals helped 3,467 persons crippled by cerebral palsy, arthri tis, polio, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, speech disor der and other orthopedic prob lems. “There may be more calls for help with crippled children and adults this year than last” says Kelly, “And we want to be pre pared to assist them all.” Selected For rand and Petit uryDuty A new Grand Jury will go in to action when the March term of criminal court convenes here J.

The resolution concerned impor tation of foreign textile products into the United States. The res olution stated that foreign coun tries have no minimum wages standard, no social security, no unemployment compensation, no workmens compensation, and are able to produce at cheaper ex pense textile goods which are be ing imported into this country, thus causing a depression in the textile market in the U. S. and thereby threatening the jobs and security of the people not only in Newberry county, but in South Carolina, and the entire United States. Therefore, it is resolved that the Democratic convention of Newberry county urgently rec ommend to the President and to the Congress of the United States that these foreign textile goo-ls be reduced to the point wnere they are no longer a threat to the jobs and security of the people of Newberry county, of South Car olina, and of the United States, that a copy of the resolution be forwarded to Congressman Dorn and Senators Johnston and Thur mond.
