June Is Dairy Month Congratulations! Dairy Farmers VOLUME 26; NUMBER 9. NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1962 + $2.00 PER YEAR By The Way - By DORIS A, SANDERS BE SURE! Be sure to remember that we have a primary next Tuesday. Get out your Registration Certificate and go to the polls! SEEMS PECULIAR Seems peculiar, doesn’t it, that in the June 12 Democratic primary there were almost 9,000 votes less cast in the Senatorial con test than were cast in the race for Lieutenant Governor. It would seem that those 9,000 voters chose the “no vote in the Senate race” method to reserve their right to. vote for Bill Workman on Nov ember 6th. Thousands of others apparently stayed away from the polls rather than jeopardize this right, while many, many voters let it be known at the time they took the so-called Loyalty oath that they were reserving their right to vote as they pleased in November. All of this indicates to many political observers that South Car olinians are sick and tired of the national Democratic party and its hangers-on in the State; they are tired of the dictatorial Kennedy Administration; they are tired of the way the Constitution of this country has been and is being per verted to suit the whims of ego tistical, self-seeking individuals. it was amazing to see, at the 3rd Congressional District Rally for Workman Tuesday night over in Greenwood, some 80 persons from Anderson. This is a county, in case you don’t know, which is thoroughly saturated with Demo cratic propaganda, by a news paper which would lead its read ers to believe that all who are not dyed-in-the-wqol Democrats are ignorant, confused, stupid mo rons. 'Well apparently someone has managed to get behind this “paper curtain” because enthusiasm for Bill Workman in Anderson is tremendous. •Bill Workman isn’t trying to turn everyone into a Republican. He pointed out that party labels really mean little, noting that both Thomas Jefferson and Gen eral Thomas Sumter had origin ally gone to Congress under the Republican label. While running as a Republican, Bill is really the rallying point not only for Repub licans, but for independents and j for Democrats who are tired of Olin Johnston and the welfare statism of the national Democratic party. I find that in Newberry, too, enthusiasm for Workman’s candi dacy is high. W T e hope before too much longer to have a rally of some sort in Newberry, with Bill on hand, so you can meet him if you haven’t already. In addition to being politically conservative, he is just a nice person, and so is his attractive wife, Tommy. Spray Schedule Is Published The Newberry County Health Department has begun its annual spraying program to help control flies, mosquitoes and other unde sirable insects throughout the county. 4 The program began on June 12 in the city.

Resolution DAIRY MONTH I must apologize to A1 Busby and others responsible for the Dairy Breakfast last Wednesday morning, but I just couldn’t get there. Compiling the returns of a primary is a hectic sort of a job, and by time I got to bed Tuesday night I was tired out and I’ll have to admit it—I overslept. But may I urge that you take special note of June Dairy month —visit the milk bar at the Community Hall Friday afternoon and maybe win a silver dollar—consume more milk products, not only in June but throughout the year, because this is an important product in the economy of Newberry County.

That’s what will happen at the June Dairy Month Milk Bar to be set up on the Newberry town square on Friday afternoon, June 22nd. . It’s true—no string attached. Simply visit the milk bar, drink a glass of wholesome, refreshing milk and draw a lucky number that may win a silver dollar, to be pre sented by the lovely Newberry County Farm Bureau Princess, Barbara Griffin. All this is happening because June is Dairy Month. The milk bar is just one part of the overall program designed toawaken New berry County citizens to the tre mendous importance of the Dairy Industry. “Also, we want everyone to support this important indus try of ours by drink^.g more mill and eating more dairy products,’ says A1 Busby, County June Dairy Month Chairman, who reminds the public to visit the milk bar be tween the hours of 2 and 6 p.m. Friday. He promises balloons for the kiddies, too. The total annual income from dairying in Newberry County amounts to $2,400,000 according to statistics compiled by County Agent Busby. Of this amount, $2,- 030,000 is milk sold by 88 Grade A Dairy Farms; $128,500 manufac turing milk sold by 120 Bordon Co. producers; $41,500 cream sold by approximately 100 Newberry Creamery producers; and $200,000 income from dairy cattle and calves sold. Capital investment on county dairy farms amounts to over sev en million dollars, with over 300 farm families employed in the in dustry. Newberry County ranks third in income from dairying in the state. Milk from Nev/berry farms is sold to processing plants in Newberry, Columbia, Florence, Greenville, Spartanburg, Chester and also in Charlotte, N. C.

The fast manner in which you received them was due, in most part, to the cooperation of poll managers who promptly phoned in returns from their respective precincts. We are deeply grateful for this cooperation, and ask that managers repeat this fine performance next Tuesday night. Since only one race is to be reported, maybe you won’t have such a hard time get ting Phone No. 1 when it isn’t busy. Bill Fields and Shotsie McCut- cheon, with “election central” at The Sun office, and Jimmy Cog gins at the station giving state returns, did a fine job of coverage and it was a pleasure, as always, to work with them. Be listening again next Tuesday night, when we’ll be passing along results of the Probate Judge run-off prim ary.
