F.ven keen in a.nd out ot the hospital several time' before, never has there been the avalanche of kindness and cnncc'n from so in any of you, as on this occasion. They tell me I was riyht sick for a while. But I pulled through with the aid of Idvine Providence, the hands of a skillful surgeon; the tender care of efficient nurses; the 3 ove of a wonderful husband and family; and the concern and prayers of many, many friends. Thank you for the beautiful flowers, the very attractive and useful gifts. the lovely and thoughtful cards, the delicious food, and for being interested enough to inquire about my wel fare. Thank you also for saying you missed this column in The Sun. 1 have received instructions from tw T o very important sources—my husband and my doctor-—to slow down, or else. Perhaps if I had paid attention to those instruct ions before, my recovery would have been a little more rapid. At any rate, I intend to heed this advice in the future, and this means that I will no longer he connected with The Sun on an every-week basis; at least for a time. It is my hope not to let this column die entirely, however. It will not appear with regularity, but as I read or hear of things in which I feel you may be interest ed, FI! pass them along to you.

I can’t quite yet say “I told you t?o” about Donaldson Air Force Base because last I heard, there was no definite w-ord of its clos ing. If it does close—and I feel certain it will—I wmnder if Olin D. Johnston believes South Caro linians wdll forget this bit of pol itical maneuvering within the next six years? He can just bet his bottom dollar (or COPE’s) bot tom dollar) that there will be plenty w-ho will he ready, willing and able to refresh the memories of the voters should the Senator be in the running tit that Cme. EVEN THERE Even while I was in the hospital, I had requests to “plea.'e write” about thus- and-so. Among the things mentioned was the traffic hazard at the in tersection of Boundary and Dray ton streets. Anyone who has tried to enter Boundary from either side of Drayton, especially the lower side, will confirm that a driver must get part of the way out into Boundary before he can determine whether the coast is clear. I know the highway department is reluctant to put traffic signals on its main highways, but per haps the city manager would look into this situation. On the other hand, perhaps he won’t. I was told the reason Council won’t dis cuss the dog menace (and, by-the- way, while I was in the hospital, another lady had her hip broken, when attacked by dogs) is because there had bee no “formal request.” Firemen Don't Like Proposal Newberry’s volunteer fire de partment Monday night rejected a proposal by the City Council that would place the volunteer chief in charge of all fire fighting oper ations, but would place mainten ance of equipment and facilities in the hands of the assistant director of safety. The volunteer group insisted that their chief be in complete charge of the fire department and that the city’s paid firemen be se lected by the city manager. J. E. Hazel was named assis tant director of safety for the fire department in a recent reorgan ization of the city’s safety forces. Council authorized a new draft of a proposal for the operation of the fire department, which will be considered at a special meeting December 18th. The regular meeting of City Council, scheduled for Tuesday, will be postponed until that date. Returns From European Tour Guy A*. Whitener has returned to his home here after a five week tour of Europe. He was occomp- anied by Dr. Dale Oldham, oi An derson, Indiana and Florida, an Internationally known minister and lecturer. Air. Whitener and Dr. Oldham were commissioned by the Christ ian Brotherhood Radio Commiss ion to boost existing Radio sta tions and to establish new stations in transmitting Gospel messages in the various countries in Central and Western Europe. Included a- mong the places visited was Lux emburg which has the largest ra dio station in the world. They also contracted with Transwoild radio in Alonaco for transmission of the Christian Brotherhood hour. The visited the radio officials in Egypt and expect in the near fu ture to have the programs on the Abysinian radio which is now un der construction. Mr. Whitener and Dr. Oldham also visited the Holy Land. Am ong the countries were Lebanon, Syria, Jerusalem, Israel and oth ers. Dr. Oldham presented the Go-- pel program to the various sta tions they contacted and Air. Whitener handled the business transactions. Mr. Whitener said one of the interesting coincidences of tin- trip was meeting up on the plane going to Rome with Mr. and Airs. Alartin Gauldain of Washington, D. C., forme*- residents of New berry who were on a World tour. Another coincidence was the fact that Mr. Goudain came in and sat on the seat with Mr. Whitener and Mrs. Gaudain sat with Dr. Oldham directly across the aisle. Had they taken a seat anywhere else on the plane they probably would not have met. Mr. Whitener said that both he and Dr. Oldham are of large size and it was not comfort able, hence took seats across from each other. Other places of interest includ ed: Mt. Nebo, The Jordan river, Jericho, Bethony, Bethlehem, Ge- thsemane, Rock of Ages, Mount of Olives, Nazareth, the Sea of Galilee and others. in twenty , -t udtu:' n in nr out of t he wi ; t- i]i jun-i i mi t he arc:dent t«.k : hr life of a < 'olumbia I, Hddir William 'Jack) Smith, d State Hivhway Patrolman Dpi.

Stop signals and flaming lights on the school bus. which was driv er-' by lo-year old Johnny Leaks of Route 1, Chappells, were work ing even after the accident, Cpl. Martin said. The 1950 Chevrolet panel truck was virtually a total loss as its front end was smashed by the col lision. which also caused some $200 worth of damage to the bus. Cpl. Martin said the bus was not moved by the impact, thus preventing injury to the students from the Reuben Elementary school and Newberry high colored school. Smith was still slumped over the steering wheel of his vehicle when Cpl. Alartin arrived. Baby chicks from the rear of the truck were pitched to their deaths on the highway, and a number of others were freed .nto nearby fields. Some of the chicks remained in the truck, however. Investigating with Cpl. Alartin were Sheriff Tom Fellers and Coroner George R. Summer. Eddie William (Jack) Smith, fi3, of Columbia was killed instant ly at Chappells Thursday after noon in an auto accident. Mr. Smith was horn in New berry county, a son of the late John S. and Susie Brown Smith. Surviving are four brothers, J. A. of Greenwood; J. G. and C. A. of Columbia; three half-brothers, Ernest S. of North Carolina, An drew E. and Robert D. of Colum bia, and a sister, Mrs. J. W. O’ Shields of Columbia. Whitaker Funeral home was in charge of the services. Be Presented At Dance Friday The Fall dance of the Newber ry Cotillion Club will be held at the Newberry Country club Fri day night, December 14 at which time three lovely young ladies will be presented. The young ladies are Misses Su san Christine Livingston, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Robert E L.ivings- ton, Donna Rook, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Don Rook, and Barba ra Helen Youmans, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mike L. Youmans. Dorn Mourns Loss Of Duke Power Plant Representative AVm. Jennings Bryan Dorn told the Anderson Chamber of Commerce that “if South Carolina education is to continue to move forward, we must raise our teachers’ salaries and continue to improve our school facilities.” The congressman continued, “The best way to raise teachers’ salaries is to seek more tax-pay ing industry. He said the proposal by Duke Power company to build a steam plant on the Savannah river could have provided the rev enue with which to double the salaries of teachers in Anderson county and provide for an increase for every teacher in South Caro lina. Duke was not permitted to build by Congress and Duke has now announced plans for building in North Carolina. Dorn said, “North Carolina teachers already receive higher salaries than the teachers in South Carolina and that state therefore entices grad uates of our colleges into their schools. As long as they get the industry they will continue to get many of our teachers. We cannot make our education competitive with broom sage, briar patches and no markets for our trees. We lost Duke. Now lets go after the taxpaying Mead plant which would mean millions of dollars for the farmers of the Third district.” Parade Winners The Newberry high school band has been awarded two first places recently. On November 29 at Sa luda and in Clinton last Thursday. The band is directed by Miss Lor raine Paris and laurels have come to it from many quarters. Final Rites For J. 0.

Kirkland On All-State List CHARLOTTE.— Twenty-six of Palmetto-land’s top gridders have gained berths on WBT Radio’s 1962 South Carolina All-State football team—as selected by a 20-man board of coaches chosen in conjunction with WBT. Named to the team was Benjie Kirkland, senior hack of the Newberry high school team this year. The honor squad consists of four men each at the guard and end positions, two at center, and 11 in the backfield. Tie votes resulted in the selection of five tackles, in stead of four, and 11 backs in stead of eight. Of the 26 gridders selected by the 20 coaches, 22 appeared in last week’s Shrine Bowl game in Char lotte. The coaches, representing every classification of football, included head mentors from every section of the state. In general, linemen hogged the voting spotlight—with Gaffney tackle Paul Phillips and Green ville High end, Larry Kohn, cap taining the 1962 All-State team by virtue of receiving the biggest number of votes cast by the 20 coaches. Both Kohn and Phillips were starters in the Shrine game. Phil lips, 235-pound tackle, was nam ed the outstanding lineman in the game.

Verbosity Is UN Concern The sixteenth session of_ the United Nation’s General Assembly held 716 meetings from Septem ber, 1961 to June 1962, _out of which came 306,370,000 pages of records and documents. This was a tremendous increase over the 177,000,000 total pages in 1952. Concern over this verbosity has led to the problem’s being put on the agenda of the present 17th session. What are prospects for cutting down on the excess verbiage? “It’s self-defeating.” sighed one official. “We’ll un doubtedly spend more time de bating how to cut down debate than we’ll ever save.” VISITS BOYHOOD HOME Benson W. Jones of Pittsburg, Pa. stopped over last week for a couple of days in this city of his boyhood to see his sister, Miss Anne D. Jones and many of his old friends. FDA Warns About i Quack Doctors i i Despite the frequent warnings of the Federal Food and Drug Ad ministration, it is estimated that about ten million Americans spend some$l,000 million every year for things that cannot possibly bene fit them as claimed, but may ac tually do them harm. Persons that know they have incurable cancer or those that fear they may have are especially susceptible to the quacks, as are women who want a short-cut to a glamorous figure.

By Airs. A H. Count- The pre-Christmas season was ushered in here Wednesday after noon with the usual ( hristmas tea which has grown in beaut\ and charm with each succeeding year. I * j< sponsored by the ( ivic League with the assistance of gar den clubs and other organizations. Hal Kohn, president of the league, presided. As in the past there were many visitors from throughout t h e State as well as a large crowd locally. The outside of the Community Hall presented a picturesque yule welcome. The iron rails of the massive steps w r ere entwined with hemlock and tied with red satin bows. The three doors opening in to the great hall were decorated with cedar. They opened to present a festive sight of decorated win dow ledges, iron scones and a large overhead iron chandelier. The tea table with its imported cut-work linen cloth, silver bowl of red roses and lighted candel abra was placed before the gaily decorated rear doors. Elsewhere the furniture held arrangements of red carnations. A tall decorated Christmas tree completed the scene. A special feature w^as : table of dolls shown by Miss Erin Kohn of Columbia, who collects them as a hobby. The display showed the dolls dressed in period cos tumes from the 16th century and other periods. The highlight of the Tea .vas the demonstration of Christmas arrangements by Mr. and Mrs. Jim Harvin, Fred Mosley of Au gusta and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Pow ell of Waynesboro, Ga., who were introduced by Mr. Kohn. The program began ith a cen- cert by the Newberry College Band, directed by Charles Pruitt.

The Newberry High School chorus with Miss Juanita Hitt as director, presented selections beginning at 7:30. Mrs. John R. Frazier and Miss Hattie Bell Lester were co-chair men of the Tea. Mrs. Gary Paschal of Columbia, president of the Garden club of South Carolina, was among the guests. Mailing Hints By Postmaster Postmaster Harry E. Moose cau tioned yesterday that time is growing short for mailing of Christmas parcels. Studies show, he said that late mailing of parcel post tends to increase losses on the basis of the old truth that ‘haste makes waste’. He observed that the Post Of fice department is unable each year to deliver or return about a half million parcels, including many lost at Christmas time, be cause of poor packaging or inade quate addressing. The postmaster suggested sev eral steps that can be taken by mailers to protect themselves ag ainst loss of valuable Christmas gifts, as follows: 1. Check and revise mailing lists. 2. Type or handprint gummed mailing labels. Fill them* out now and save time later. 3. Use COMPLETE addresses. Don’t abbreviate. Include delivery zone number. 4. Make a list of your mailing needs and start buying good qual ity mailing materials now; strong cord, heavy wrapping paper, and so forth. 5. Include separate sheet of paper inside the parcel with the address of the intended recipient, as well as your own name and address. 6. Plan to use insurance on all parcels. (Neither insurance fees nor parcel post rates ' were changed by recently enacted leg islation, incidentally.) | Concert To Be Tonight The annual Christmas Con cert of the Newberry High School Girl’s Chorus will be presented Thursday (Today) at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the high school. Traditional Christmas songs will be heard. Miss Juanita Hitt is director of the chorus.
