While Mr. Haile was previously connected with the department, he has been away from Newberry for quite a num ber of years and as he says, he does not know the details. He ad mits knowing only what he sees in the paper—he could not know the undercurrents behind the whole affair. I would further remind Mr. Haile that the volunteers voted unanimously for the department to operate under the Department of Safety, after certain changes were made to satisfy them. Since that time, there has not been, to ! <\ my knowledge, any formal pro- j test to City council from the vol- ' unteers and no reason given for j the resignations other than dis- i - n 11 d> • - : ip*’ Mow: i ; it.i' i!Ki y t *. - u :!! <•< *: • i 1 ■ i * t 1 m ! iii • fi. id t” s- a ’ e f naG \Y.*i ‘‘are in tie fi’.' the iiia'n't >-q -dturle St n ill 'one Plise imjioseti < > I ail the poo- T 1C St ito pio. : n t ’„ , N't d T axes are to ia - re o finance i n IT Be - in t he rneiileai plan pr opose J by the The New Pre sident.

Just what this does to the administration progr am for a “tax cut’’ is not readily calculated, hut it is another exam ple of how the mueh-talked-ahout tax cut” is rapidly turning into a tax rise.

And that majority has far more experience than those who resigned. Mr. Haile says it would cost $150,000 a year to replace the re signing firemen. This would give the 14, if hired, a salary of roughly $10 ,700 a year. Not bad. I assume Mr. Haile was speaking of replac ing the minimum number requir ed, 25. This would give them a salary of $6,000. Maybe that’s a good idea too. Perhaps my husband could get such a job. He sure doesn’t make anything like that teaching school. Mr. Haile says the moral of his story is “if you have a depart ment that was running smoothly . . . and someone try to upset it, I tell them to keep their cotton picking hands off.” Well, the moral of these comm ents is, “know the facts before you judge.” The Spelling Bee will start in the sr hooi room to determ ine the ho\ or gir l who is to repre sent his O!' her ro< m.

The vast majority of doctors are vehemently opposed to the new plan. They feel it will demoralize the whole system of medical care in America, and they ought to know. They constitute a dedicated profession. They are on call in serious cases at the hospital or at private homes day and night. They must be precise in their find ings because errors can be fatal. THE MEMBERS OF THE PRO FESSION are men and women who know r medical conditions in this country and are familiar al so with what “socialized medi cine” has meant in various other countries. They fear that the new plan some day will result in “socialized medicine”—a scheme in which the government runs the medical-care program, pays the fees of doctors, and standardizes their incomes. The administration denies that its plan will ever bring “social ized medicine,” but the doctors know that, if the medical profes sion is overwhelmed with cases due to the free service programs provided by the government, the demand on the time of all doctors will be so great that the govern ment will have to step in to try to bring order out of the chaos that will ensue. Nobody objects to better medi cal care for the aged, as well as for everybody else, but there are serious differences of opinion as to whether those who seek to make political capital out of the issue w T ill produce frustration in the medical profession and a low r - The third place State winner will receive a two-volume set of Encyclopaedia dictionaries.

(Sunphoto.) MEDICARE? David Lawrence, in his Tuesday column in the Greenville News, had some good thoughts on the so-called “Medicare” program. In the event you did not have chance to see this column, it is reprinted here for your information; WASHINGTON.—It’s going to be harder to get a doctor when you are sick, harder to get into a hospital, and harder to take care of the young as well as the old who become ill in the future—if the Federal government inter venes in the field of medical care as just recommended to Congress by President Kennedy. Time was when, if you were sick, you could get a doctor to come to your home. Today most patients have to go to the doctor’s office except when gravely ill. There simply aren’t enough doctors now. This is primarily be cause medical aid is covered in part by private insurance plans that make it less costly. Persons Miss Dominick Service Sunday Miss Cora L.

Boys’ Baseball Program Changed A meeting of sponsors, coaches and officers of the baseball pro gram for boys, in the past known as the Newberry Little Boys Base ball League, met on February 17 to formulate plans for the 1963 season. The League, for the past seven years, has been associated with Little Boys Baseball, Inc. Th is program no longer exists and the local league has reorganized. One change was the name of the league. It will be known officially as the Newberry Midget Boys Baseball. The rules will be some what as they have been in the past, with some rules being omit ted, others simplified. The biggest change has been in the age of the 15 boys on each team. Each team may have as many as six 12-year old players. Three 12-year olds may pitch and each team must carry at least three 10-year old players. All boys eight and nine years of age will be placed in the training league. Each of the six teams will play a 15-game regular schedule. There will be an annual All-Star game and a four-team play-off at the end of the regular season. The four teams participating will be the first four in the league stand ings at the end of the regular sea son. The age • ead-line is the same, August 1st of the current season.

The system would connect all law enforcement agencies and all fire departments, city and rural, throughout the county. The meeting was called to or der by Mayor Layton, in the base ment of the fire station.

A motion by Council man McCutcheon, seconded by Councilman Heller, to establish the consolidated communications center in the basement of the fire station, leaving the police head quarters the same as is for the present, was unanimously adopt ed. Council adopted a resolution en dorsing a request for the location of a pulp mill on the Savannah river in the Northeastern section of the State.

The mill would afford pulpwood growers in this county an outlet for their product. The city manager was request ed to investigate the possibility of rounding the curb corners at Nance and Harrington streets and the placing of a traffic light at the corner of Harrington and Glenn streets.
