Olin D. Johnston ran true to ! form in Newberry county, recoi\ - j ing an overwhelming majority of the negro and textile vote in Tues day’s General Election, and run ning 955 votes ahead of his op ponent, W. D. Workman, Jr., for United States Senate. Despite Johnston’s commanding lead in the county, N. Kibler Wil liamson, chairman of the Newber ry County Worwman for Senate Committee, expressed pleasure that Workman captured over 41 per cent of the vote in a county with strong labor unions and a high negi o population. While a little disappointed in a few of the county boxes, Mr. Wil liamson said there were pleasant surprises and unexpected votes for Workman in other of the box es. He cited, in particular, the Little Alountain and Prosperity and Whitmire areas, where the vote for Workman was heavier than anticipated. He praised the work done by all Workman work ers throughout the county. Johnston led in 34 boxes, and Workman in 15. There was a tie vote, 8-8 in O’Neal No. 1 box. Those precincts in which Work man led included four town boxes, Ward 3 No. 1, Ward 1, Ward 2 and Ward 6. Other precincts in which Workman led the ticket v-ere Peak, Dominick, Hartford, Jalapa, Alt. Pleasant, Saluda No.7, Chappells, Jolly Street, O’Neal No. 2, Wheeland and Prosperitv No. 1. All remaining precincts went to Johnston, including Ward 4 No. 2 and Ward 3 No. 2 by walloping majorities, and by a substantial majority in Ward 5, where voting was much lighter than usual. The vote in Newberry County was Johnston, 3114; and Workman 2177. The vote by precincts follows: The ladies of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church are busy preparing for their annual bazaar, which will be held at the Parish House next Thursday, November 15.

Scout Council To Merge The Newberry County Girl Scout Council will soon become a part of the Congaree Girl Scout Council, affiliated with the Nat ional Girl Scouts of America. Officials of the local council have explained the change-over ir. the following statement: Newberry Girl Scout Council has been a one-county Council, incorporated by the State of S. C., since October 18, 1955. A volun teer Board of Directors, elected by ail the registered Girl Scout adults (troop leaders, troop com mittee members) has administer ed the Girl Scout program in New berry. The Council has grown in many ways these past few years in membership and in programs for the girls. It has reached the point that further progress depends on training, professional counseling, and enlarged program opportunity —such as established camping, Senior Planning Board and area wide events. These can be secured only by membership in a strong area council. In April the Newberry Board of Directors decided to initiate steps toward merging with a larger near-by council. A letter was sent to Congaree Girl Scout Council headquarters in Columbia in which the request was made to have a meeting to discuss joining that Council. A committee from Congaree Council and one from Newberry met and discussed what it would take to join a Council. Items discussed were: finances, what a ‘‘fair share” of the budget Newberry would pledge to meet, personnel necessary to do the job in Newberry as well as represen tation on the Board and Council of Congaree Council. Program op portunities and training were also discussed. A second meeting oc curred in August and in Septem ber the executive director and chairman of Congaree’s committee came to Newberry to further in form and discuss the merger. Joining Congaree Girl Scout Council will mean that Newberry County will be a full-fledged, par ticipating member which will be known as Newberry Neighbor hood. Newberry will have its own Neighborhood chairman, who will coordinate and be responsible for Girl Scouting in this county. Mrs. H. B. Kirkegard will serve in this position, helping Mrs. Clara Wertz as troop organizer for the city; Mrs. Aubrey Harley, Mrs. Mike Youmans, and others as troop, consultants. Newberry County will be rep resented on the Council Board of Directors, elect delegates to at tend the Conucil meeting (held twice a year) and have a day camp site committee here in New berry to plan and administer the Day Camp program. Services Newberry will receive will be the consultation of a pro- Laird To Head Volunteers David L. Laird, Sr., first as sistant and currently acting chief, Mond^ y night was given the mem bership’s nomination as chief of the Newberry Volunteer Fire de partment. He would succeed the late vet eran chief Sam D. Beam, who died a week ago. Fred Rodelsperger and Otis L. Whitaker were nominated first and second assistant chief, res pectively, at the meeting Monday night. Formerly, nominations were submitted yearly for formal ap proval of Newberry City Council. Recently, however, the Council gave the city manager hiring and firing authority over all city de partment heads and he has said the fire department promotion was under study. Forestry Men Safe Drivers Forty-five personnel of the Newberry District of the S. C. State Commission of Forestry have driven a total number of 450 years without an accident, ac cording to District Forester Har lan McLees. In cooperation with the Nation al Safety Council, safe driver awards are presented each year to drivers who complete the year without a preventable accident. Recently retired Warden E. D. Chappell has driven a record num ber of 29 years without an acci dent and he is followed closely by Ranger R. E. Patrick, also o f Fairfield county, with 23 safe driving years. Awards of 19 years each were presented to both Geo. L. Sharpton of McCormick coun ty and Marvin E. Wilson of New berry county. McLees commended the person nel of the Newberry district for their cooperation in the Safe Dri ver Awards program and asked for continued caution in operating vehicles while on the job. fessional worker, known as a dis trict advisor, training course giv en locally, opportunity to partici pate in Council-Wide program ev ents, and office services. Being a part of the Congaree Council means sharing in many expanded services and also shar ing the cost of these services. Newberry’s fair share of these costs is based on Newberry’s ab ility to pay. Services to Newberry will exc eed Newberry’s financial support. The established camp of Congaree Council represents a $150,000 in vestment which has already been made. Newberry girls will share its facilities for summer and troop camping on the same basis as girls in the areas which made this capital investment. Abrams Dies; Was Born Here ANDERSON.—Prof. Robert A.
