Coach Pleased With Prospects Newberry head coach Harvey Kirkland opened his practices this fall with only three starters re turning from last year’s squad. However, two of these starters ai-e enough to cause Kirkland to smile with glee. Co-captains Fred Haley and Tom Gorman are the starters that Kirkland is smiling about. Haley was an Honorable Mention Little All-American in two different teams last year, and Gorman was the only Indian to make the All State first team last year. Both boys are candidates for a host of post season honors this year. And so far it has been these two boys who have kept Kirk land’s spirits high during the pre season practices. With only three days of practice under their belts, these Indian aces make it plain that they intend to take up where they left off. Gor man, a native of South Plainfield, N. J., has been hitting his targets with the same accuracy that he has exhibited during the past three seasons. Last year he completed 55 per cent of his passes for 838 yards and five touchdowns. Last year Gorman picked up only 228 yards rushing. Actually he picked up more yardage than that, but on a great many occasions he was thrown for a loss while attempt ing to pass. This hurt his total average. But this senior ace has impi'oved his running ability dur ing the past summer. In practice this year Gorman has been using his blockers better, he has been picking his holes better and with his great passing he has made him self a double threat to the opposi tion. Haley, a 6-2, 195 pound senior from Hartwell, Ga., also returned and took up where he left off last year. In 1962 this Georgia native caught 36 passes for 449 yards, and in practices this fall he has been catching them with the same regularity. But Haley has been doing more than catching passes. On running plays Haley has been superb on his downfield blocking, clearing paths for fleetfooted halfbacks. Haley, unlijce most great offensive players, is not just an offensive player. He is also quite a defensive end. And for the past week he has been proving that by stopping end runs, blocking punts and breaking up flat passes. Sc, with an end and quarterback like Haley and Gorman, Newber ry’s Head Coach Kirkland is all smiles. Now if he can get eight more starters to go along with these two and fullback Bill Ham mond, Gorman and Haley should have little trouble making Little All-American.

S-L Associations Are Celebrating Savings and Loan associations throughout South Carolina will join in a month-long celebration in September to mark passage of $100 billion in savings and loan assets, adccording to H. P. Midg- ley of Bennettsville, president of the South Carolina Savings and Loan League. The nationwide savings and loan system has grown nearly 12 times since the end of World War II, from assets of $8.7 billion at the end of 1945 to the present $100 billion. South Carolina savings and loan assets have kept pace with this national growth, Midgley said. Savings and loan associations in South Carolina now have assets of $890,625,000 he stated. “The very rapid postwar growth of the savings and loan system il lustrates the vital contribution which these institutions have made in helping millions of American families purchase their own homes,” the league president said. “The total resources of all sav ings and loan associations are em ployed almost exclusively in the performance of these thrift and home financing functions for the general public,” he added. The number of investors in South Carolina savings and loan associations is now 339,443, and their savings total $766,287,000.00, Midgley said. He noted that the present $100 billion in total assets held by associations across the nation includes more than 35 mil lion separate savings accounts and that more than 9 million current savings and loan mortgage bor rowers are presently using these funds as a means to home owner ship. The league president said that the South Carolina savings and loan league, with 75 member in stitutions, plans to participate with all other national, state, and local savings and loan groups in the month-long $100 billion cele bration. John D. Sitton of Easley, who brought his daughter to Newberry Tuesday to enter Newberry Col lege as a sophomore, visited A. H Counts at his home on Evans Street. Motor vehicle owners ordering their new license plates by mail should read and carefully follow the instructions for filling out the renewal forms, the State Highway Department has advised. Officials at the Columbia office said large numbers of forms are being mailed in without necessary insurance information and without the required signature on the tax statement. Also, numerous forms have been sent in without checks or money orders to pay for the lic ense plates ordered. Motor vehicles cannot be regist ered unless the statement pertain ing to payment of tax has been signed and unless complete infor mation regarding liability insur ance coverage is provided. Failure tosign the tax statement or give all requested insurance information only delays delivery of license plates, officials said, and causes extra inconveniences to the vehicle owner. Obviously, payment for registration fee must be submit ted. Owners are urged by the De partment to be certain they give the policy number of their current insurance policies, and that the names of insurance companies, not insurance agents, are provided. Of ficials also requested that vehicle owners not forget to send a check or money order in the required amount when ordering plates by mail. Miss Sarah Linda Welch, 82^ of Columbia, retired teacher died at the Columbia hospital Sunday after a long illness. Miss Welch was born in New berry, a daughter of the late Alexander C. andd Mary Carwile Gary Welch. She made her home in Colum bia wdth her cousin, Mrs. J. C. Copeland.

GI Schooling Program Ending The last full year of schooling for South Carolina veterans taking education or training courses un der the Korean GI Bill begins this September, the Veterans Admin- stration said today. When this school year ends, only a half year of schooling will still be obtainable under the pro gram. Courses starting in Septem ber 1964 must come to a close on January 31, 1965. Congress has set this cut-off date for the Korean readjustment program of education and train ing for veterans without service- connected disabilities. The law gives no authority to the VA to extend these benefits beyond these dates, Hugh H. Henderson, Con tact Officer of the Columbia VA Regional Office, explained. Originally, Korean Conflict vet erans were eligible for 36 months of readjustment courses but now only 17 months will remain before the final deadline when school classes resume this September.
