The azaleas were a little slower coming at Middleton and this weekend should lie about the peak there. At Cypress, the azaleas, wisteria and dogwood were in full bloom inside the garden, but the tremen dous Formosa plants outside the entrance were not yet blooming. They should be open in all their glory b\ r this weekend. Azaleas were in full bloom throughout Hampton park, and the flowers there will perhaps not he quite so pretty from now on as they- were during the past week.

'God And Country’ Scouts the State, two dog heads were sent to the State laboratory on March of this year and were found to be rabid. This resulted in two persons taking the treat ment. “This is just to keep the pub lic advised,” said Dr. Long, “ of the rabies situation, as well as demonstrating that constant vigi lance must be maintained within our own county.” “Each year at this time an ex tensive drive to control rabies is held,” Dr. Long continued. “Rabid dogs cause untold human suffer ing and livestock losses each year. This results in numerous persons having to take the anti-rabic treatment. Most exposures to ra bies is by persons coming in con tact with rabid dogs. This can only be prevented by having all dogs vaccinated against rabies and keeping stray dogs under control.” Beginning next week, The Sun will publish clinic dates for the ensuing week. & The highly honored God and Country Award was presented to two Boy Scouts who are members of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. Scouts Alan Paysinger and Jeff rey Cavanaugh were recognized for their achievement at the 11 a.m. service at St. Luke’s this past Sunday, March 31. Both of these scouts are members of Troop 66 under the direction of Scoutmas ter R. W. Cannon. The God and Country Award is a Boy Scout Award; but the work that is required to achieve it is completely uader the direction and supervision of the minister of the scout. In filling the requirements in the Episcopal Church, the Boy Scout is required to gather a gen eral knowledge of the Bible, the Book of Common Prayer, and the Hymnal. He must have a work ing knowledge of the Church, the sacraments, and the history of the Church. He must be acquainted with the organization and work of the Church in community, nation, and world, and he is required to know from experience how to par ticipate in the Faith, Worship, and Work of the Episcopal Church. This program requires a year’s work for completion. Scouts Paysinger and Cavan augh are only the second and third scouts from St. Luke’s Epis- cop*l Church who have received this award.' The only other scout to receive the award at St. Luke’s is James Rowe, who is now T a stu dent at Clemson College. Mr. Rowe was on hand Sunday to make the presentations to these two new God and Country Scouts. At pres ent there are two more Scouts in the congregation of St. Luke’s ■who are working to achieve this dis tinction. They are Michael Cav anaugh and Peter Brown.

Clarkson, President, Newberry County Development Board, today announced that Ben Robinson has resigned his posi tion with the Board effective May 15. Mr. Clarkson expressed the Board's regret in losing Robinson, but assured that the work of the Board would continue on a full time basis and in a most aggress ive fashion. Mr. Clark son’s comment is as follows: “Most of you are aware that at the time of Mr. Robinson’s employment a term of office of three years was agreed upon. Des pite the fact that all of us have experienced temporary periods of discouragement, I am proud of the knowledge that the work has progressed and the commitments of the Board have been carried out. I am equally proud to be as sociated with a group of people who have the knowledge and vis ion to realize that development work is a long range program and doesn’t happen overnight. “I am well pleased that Mr. Robinson lias shown his integrity in Jiving up to his commitments and carrying out the spirit and letter of our agreement. We are most appreciative of the work he i has done in establishing the name of Newberry county as a good place for industrial growth in all areas of the country. Mr. Robinson has gotten this work off the ground and we arc- well known in the field of indus trial development. The contacts he has made and the prospect files he has accumulated will he vigor ously followed up. “Ben has demonstrated his loy alty to Newberry county in many ways and on many occasions. W^ know that he has been approached several times by groups with tempting proposals to represent other areas and by private indus try. He has always refused to take any action which could be harm ful to our efforts. “Now that the work of the Board is established on a solid foundation and we have assur ances that the work will continue, Mr. Robinson has asked that he he relieved of his responsibilities. I am not at liberty to reveal his plans, but I am happy to say that they will not be competitive to our own efforts. “Common sense anc. logic dic tate that Newberry county must become an important area in the future of South Carolina. The Development Board has only one goal and that is to make this take place as rapidly as possible. The Board plans to continue this work on the same scale and even larger in the future. The Direct ors will select a full-time replace ment for the Executive director in the near future.” Judge Biease In New Office PERSONAL Miss Mary Seibert, a recent graduate of Mid-Carolina High school, has accepted a position with Hawkins Gift and Jewelry Shop on Main street. She began her duties there Tuesday and in vites her friends to visit at the shop. College Ball Starts Friday Wet grounds postponed the 1963 home opener of the Newberry col lege baseball team until Friday when the Indians meet the Fal cons from Pfeiffer. Newberry’s game with Catawba has been re scheduled for April 24th when these teams will meet in a double- header at Salisbury, N. C. Pfeiffer, expected to be a pow er in the Carolinas Conference this year, will be in Newberry for a two game stand. The second game will be played on Saturday. Last year the Falcons downed the Indians twice in a double header, 16-7 and 8-1. They showed that they still have some of the strength by downing Atlantic Coast Conference member USC in their first game this year. Actually the rain did not hurt the Indians, for it gave the in jured mound staff time to recover. Jimmy Counts, who sustained a sprained ankle, is just about ready to go, and with a few days extra rest he should be able to start for the Indians in one of the games against Pfeiffer. Tom my Grant, who has had a bad leg, is getting better every day, and a few extra days before the season starts will not hurt him at all. This extra time also gives Coach Burnette a little more time to decide what he will do with his three good hitting catchers. Pre sented with this unusual problem, Corch Burnette has moved last year’s leading hitter, Tommy Witt, to first base. He is alter nating between H. B. Flora and Mickey Wertz at the catching po sition, with Flora sometimes play ing third. i|g£§ ii&C: ONE OF SOUTH CAROLINA’S VETERAN PRACTICING ATTORNEYS, EUGENE S.
