It was noted that the lease had approximately four and one half years to run. Mr. Hayes agreed to reimburse the city for improvements on the lot and asked that the lease be terminated at the end of Decem ber. Motion by Councilman C. A. Rhealy, seconded by Councilman E. F. McCutcheon to terminate the lease was carried. Mr. Hayes ■will pay the city $850.00 at the ex piration of the lease. City Manager K. W. Riebe ex plained to Council that he had met with the Ham Radio opera tors who are mterestd in locating their office in the City Hall. The only cost to the city would be fur nishing liphts and heat. Mr. Riehe explained that the ham operate) s orp-amzation would be part of the city's civil defense set up. The request was granted provided the facilities the city had to offer were suitable. A report ami survey on school traffic problems by Chief Dowd, was piven by the city manage!. Mr. Riebe stated that Mr. Bryon of the S. C. Highway Department had agreed to install proper sipms designating a school zone on all State Highway roads. Also the Highway Department would sell at cost to the City signs for the areas that are not in the State system. The Highway Depart ment also has a special paint that would designate school crossings. Hiring of six school patrol women was discussed. Mr. Riebe reported that this was given as information and he would like for council to discuss the feasibility of adopt ing this plan. Uniformed women would be hired to patrol school areas before classes begin in the morning and again when school is dismissed in the afternoon. The manager pointed out that this would insure proper control of motor and pedestrian traffic at all schools and free patrolmen to handle other police activities. At present only three schools in the city have any type of patrol dur ing the hours mentioned. Council was notified that wo'k should start on the clearing and leveling of the lot behind Shawnee Manufacturing Company t h i .- week, and that Mr. F.eriey, owner of the lot will pay 5(1 per cent of the < ost of installing driveways and leveling the lot. On motion of Councilman Arm- field, seconded by Mr. Merchant, the city adopted the same Busi ness License Ordinance as for the past year. Action on a policy furnishing water to customers outside the city wp.s discussed. City Attorney Aubrey Harley advised that this be postponed until a later - time. All members of council were present for the meeting. g uiit y K h o Presiding .lunge Ur- .! r Wilhan earl' of for safecrack- -erv’ce of five run con- the men to five years for house breaking. five years for grand !ar oeny and 10 years mg, suspended on years, all sentence- t currently. The three men were charged with entering Newberry High School March 8 of this year, tak ing about $1200 from the safe. The case was brougt up at the September term of court, but be cause the defendants did not have counsel, Judge Rhodes appointed Attorneys Rembert Parler and Eugene Griffith to represent them and the case was carried over un til the present term. Leon Worthy pleaded not guilty to the indictments. Carl Worthy said on the -fami that he had left hi- father. Leon, shortly aftei the school robbery. He said that after leaving his father, he and his wife went to Virginia and secured employment there. The two Worthy'- and Greer were tried recently in Greenville and received sentences of 811 years each. T. P. Wood, deputy sheriff of Greenville county, told .1 u d g e Rhodes before sentencing of the two men that is his opinion Leon Worthy was the “master mind” of the group. He said Leon Worthy had sev eral terms in the State peniten tiary. He was released on Febru ary 1, 19(12. and from that date until he was arrested May 12th, had cases ag’ainst him in nine counties. Deputy Wood continued to work on the case in other counties af Says Junior Can Take It Straight The results of a recent study- showed that babies thrive just as "well on cold milk as they’ do when their bottles are warmed. For two years 858 babies in the premature-baby unit in Belle vue hospital in New York city were fed from bottles taken right from the refrigerator, which was kept at about 39 degrees Fahrenheit. In a report on the findings that was pub lished in the Journal of Ped iatrics during October it was claimed that the study had failed to demonstrate that the traditional procedure of warm ing the feeding is in any way- advantageous to t he infant. Dr. L. Emmett Holt, Jr., who directed the study’, said that all babies in the Bellevue hospital, both premature and normal in fants are on cold feedings and are thriving on them. He esti mated that it takes about 150 to 200 hours to warm bottles to feed a baby during the year. With about two out of three of the some 4,000,000 babies born in the United States each year being fed on bottles, cold feed ings would represent hundreds of hours saved annually. to the State Industrial school mi the first count and received a suspended sentence on th second count. Fred W. Howard, indicted on four charges of forgery, was sen tenced to two years on the first charge or a fine of $2000, sus pended on service of six months or payment of $1000, with three months probation. He received a suspended two-vear sentence on the other three charges. Ernest Heller pleaded guilty to assault and battery and to carry mga concealed weapon and was sentenced to three years, suspend ed on service of one y T ear. with five years probation. Joe Yeward Williams pleaded guilty to assault and battery with intent to kill and carrying con cealed weapons and was sentenced to two years, suspended on service of one year, with five years pro bation. Two defendants found guilty of highway robbery, larceny and as sault and battery’ with intent to kill drew stiff sentences f r o m Judge Rhodes here last Friday. James Grayson Elliott, 27, was sentenced to eight year^ and Pat rick Lee Jackson, 21 drew- a five year sentence. Both terms of im prisonment were specified to run consecutively to other sentences being served by the pair. The jury convicted them of the robbery of E. L. Dowd’s Truck Stop Restaurant near Pomaria on July 8. Before the sentences were pro nounced, Solicitor William Jones read to the court the previous rec ords of the two young men.
