If this dog. as claimed, had been a "constant companion since the child was i n kindergarten” wbat was such a valuable pet do ing in a heavily traveled street, unattended ? Did it not occur to the mother to blame herself a little bit, for not keeping the dog confined, in stead of blaming the driver of the car who apparently was here she was supposed to be, while the dog •was where he should not have been ? It was a real touching piece, Mr. Shelton, but do you really think it is the driver who deserves all the punishment ? RUNNING SHORT The other day, someone asked “how do you think of so much to write about each w T eek?” It isn’t easy', I can assure you. Of course I could fill up a couple of columns each week with politics, but I fear that in a month’s time, Bob Lake could claim so much “equal space” that I wouldn’t have room left to mention Bill Workman. This is one of those weeks when I’m running short of ideas and words, so I will quote one or two items from other sources which you might find of interest. Both of the items following are from Industrial News Review. HOW NOT TO COMPETE One of the problems facing this country is how to compete in world markets with nations whose wage and other costs are, for the most part, far lower than ours. The expanding European Common Market is one example of the tough competition we are up against. Yet in mid-August, the execu tive council of the AFL-CIO an nounced a drive to make the 35- hour week general throughout or ganized industry, with no reduc tion in take-home pay, and with double-time pay for all additional hours worked. The reason given was unem ployment. The labor leaders say that employers would take on more workers in order to avoid heavy overtime penalties. But what they fail to discuss is the increase in costs that would certainly result, and that would find their way into the swelling prices of U. S. goods in world markets as well as the home mar-, ket. Thus, our competitive ability would be further weakened. Then there would be reduced demand for our products—and more, not less unemployment. This would be a classic and tragic example of cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face. Fills Position In Columbia Major Gerald C. O'Quinn, staff assistant of the 228th Group, S. C. National Guard and commanding officer of the Headquarters De tachment of the 228th, has been designated by State Adjutant Gen- eraid Frank D. Pinckney to serve four months as State Operations and Training Officer for the Na tional Guard. Lt. Col. Kenneth Harris, who normally' functions in this: capacity, is attending Com manding General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth. Major O’Quinn began his duties in Columbia Tuesday of last week. The office of State Opera tions and Training Officer is re sponsible for planning the train ing of all National Guard units in the state. The Major will continue in his capacity as staff assistant of the 228th while serving temporarily in Columbia. ARE LEARNING The political writers, whose ri&mes are legion these days, have devoted innumerable words to President Kennedy’s difficulties with Congress. In the view of some, the legislative record to date, of White House “must” bills, ver ges on the catastrophic and may have a profound influence on elec tions to come. Time will tell as to that. Mean while, there is one element in this record that deserves more empha sis than it has been given. Mr. Kennedy has been almost totally successful in obtaining ap- Youth Killed In Collision One youth was killed and an other seriously injured when the 1955 Chevrolet in which they were traveling from Little Mountain to Pomaria ran through the inter section of Highway' 178 and 202 and struck an embankment about midnight Friday. Grady O. Amick, 19, of Rt. 2, Chapin, driver of the car, was dead on arrival at Newberry Coun ty Memorial Hospital, according to State Highway Patrolman D. E. Abrams, who investigated the ac cident. William Harvey Metts, 19, of Little Mountain received head in juries and was listed in critical condition at the hospital. Both of the youths were pin ned in the car, according to the patrolman. Sheriff s deputies and a repre sentative from the coroner’s of fice assisted in the investigation. •.cl ( .f ’.ran>porta'ion for the. State Department of Education; i Ka.pn Watkins, director of! schools, and James D. Brown, j county superintendent of educa-j lion. Mr. Brown stated there are | 7b buses and drivers now' operat ing in the county, transporting l over 3500 students per day. This is half of the school population, Mr. Brown said. The buses travel about 3400 miles a day and, ac cording to Mr. ferown, the student drivers are doing an excellent job. The Board again discussed dis position of the Mollohon school property, but made no decision, feeling it may be used for a tech nical training center in the future. Work has begun on the kitchen to serve the cafeteria at Drayton Street school. Cannon Construc tion Company is in charge of the project and it is expected that the cafeteria will be ready for opera tion between Thanksgiving and ; Christmas. j The Board decided to donate to the Newberry County Courthouse the boiler removed from the old Speers Street school building, “in return for help constantly being given the schools by the county .supervisor." The Board decided to put a new roof on the Drayton Street school gym, which selves as an auditor ium and will serve as a cafeteria when the kitchen N completed. Mr. Brown stated today that the enrollment at the end of the last school session was 7004. He esti mated that enrollment for the current year would be about the same.

The two-day work shop for teachers ends today with programs having been held at Newberry High and Gallman High schools.
