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.

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.

Drink milk and win a Silver
Dollar! 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.
Dairying brings in more income
than any other phase of agricul
ture in Newberry County.
Forty-one producers sell milk
to Pet Dairy Products Co.; 24 sell
to Foremost Dairies, Inc.; nine to
Edisto Farms Dairy; three to ”arr
vey B. Hunter Dairies, Chaiictte,
three to Southern Dairies, Inc.
there is one independent producer.

THE PRI
,_Back to the-primary briefly, we
(those of us at The Sun and at
WKDK) wish to thank the many,
pf you for your compliments on the
manner in which the primary re
sults were sent to you. 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.
