Another issue to be discussed is opposing federal aid to pri vate and parochial schools. This is a view contrary to the pro nouncements of the National Council of Churches. This should be a very lively session of the General Assembly. The results should be interest ing. Dr. James C. Kinard will be speaker when Memorial Day exer cises, sponsored by Drayton Ruth erford and Calvin Crosier Chap ters, U.D.C., are held Thursday, May 10 at 5 p.m. The program will take place at the Confederate Monument on the Square.

Vickery will have charge of devotions, and appro- priate music will be rendered by the High School Girls choir under the direction of Miss Juanita Hitt. The public id cordially invited. a Commencement Is Scheduled At Newberry High NOT ALWAYS FAIR While I realize that there must be some limitation on the number of years a teacher may teach, or some mandatory retirement age, still it does not always seem fair that this should be so. A teacher at age 75 can be just as, or more effective than a teacher at 45, but there would, perhaps, be cases of teachers who are not physically able, hanging on to a job until they dropped in their tracks un less there was a definite rule. Newberry County is losing a number of fine teachers through retirement this year, just as we have lost a number of good ones in the past. We will hate to see them go. On the subject of teachers, it seems to me the state did a pretty good job in its teacher pay-raise bill this year. Most of the coun ties around seem to be raising supplements, too; no doubt be cause this is an election year. The state schedule, rather than being an across the board percentage in crease, runs roughly from about six percent of the current scale to about 17 percent, with the higher increase going to those teachers with advanced degrees and more experience. This, of course, is as it should be; it gives a teacher an incentive to improve himself or Booster Qub Banquet Tuesday A few tickets still remain for the Sixth Annual Bulldog Booster Club Awards Banquet, to be held Tuesday, May 8 at the Newberry High School Cafeteria. Tickets may be secured from the high school coaches or by contacting members of the Booster’s Club. Principal speaker for the occa sion will be Dode Phillips, well- known athlete who is a member of the South Carolina Hall of Fame. C. D. Coleman, president of the club, will preside and welcome guests. The program will follow a barbecue supper. Response to the welcome will be by Terry Ives- ter. T. B. (Dad) Amis will introduce the speaker. Trophies will be presented as follows: Football: most valuable player, best lineman, best senior back, best blocker, best junior varsity. Basketball: Most valuable play er, boys; most valuable player, girls. Baseball: Most valuable player. Certificates and awards will also be presented by Coaches Walt ~ inson, Hubert Long and Harry Hedgepath. Booster Club officers, in addi tion to Mr. Coleman, are A. E. Morehead, vice president, and Den nis Newton, secretary-treasurer. Attend Meeting Of Republicans Ernest A. Brooks and Earle J. Bedenbaugh attended the meeting of county chairmen are executive herself by working for those extra ’ committeemen of the Republican hours or advanced degrees. What the General Assembly should now do—or perhaps it would be the job of the State Board of Education—is to set up some sort of permanent appoint ment of teachers. This business of a contract each year is rather fool iah and a waste of time. I believe it is Atlanta that has a system by which teachers are carefully supe: - vised during the first three years on the job; and if they are found to be satisfactory during that per iod of time, they are given a per manent contract so unless there is some proof of their ineffectiveness as a teacher, they have the secur ity of knowing they will have a job year after year, as long as they want it After all, the time to get rid of & poor teacher is right in the beginning. WISING UP Somebody in the Presbyterian Church, US (Southern) must be wising up. A news release from the General Council of the church concerning the General Assembly meeting May 19-15 lists as the first of “important and controversial matters” to come before the assembly ‘To withdraw from the National Council of Churches.” The General Assembly is the governing body of the Presby terian Church, South.

They report that campaign plans for Billl Workman were out lined. Dr. Bill Hunter of Clemson was elected Third Congressional Dist rict Campaign Chairman in the “Win for Workman” campaign. Mrs. W. D. “Tommie” Workman, and Drake Edens, Workman’s Campaign manager, were on hand to offer their congratulations. Carlton Truax of Lexington pre sented Floyd Spence of the Second Congressional District. Mr. Spence who is running for Congress from his district, added some excellent suggestions to the Workman cam paign plans outlined during the evening. The next meeting of the group was scheduled for June in Green wood. Rev. Cooper, assistant professor of Bible and Greek at Newberry College, is a Marine Corps cambat veteran of the Korean War. The subject of his memorial address will be “The Spirit of Sacrifice and the Ideal of Peace.” Serving for two years and six months in the Marine Corps, Rev.
