THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1963 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE FIVE Tetanus Deaths Unnecessary, Says AMA Health Official Despite the outpouring of new “wonder" drugs, man’s an cient enemv, tetanus, has not yet succumbed to a cure. Even so, death from tetanus, or “lockjaw” as it is commonly called, is “almost entirely un necessary,” says Raymond L. White, M.D., Director of En vironmental Medicine for the American Medical Association. “As a disease, tetanus is com pletely preventable,” Dr. White noted. “The only reason it per sists is that people fail to get immunized, or fail to maintain their immunity. Out of sheer neglect, three-fourths of the people don’t have the protection they need. *lf it weren’t for medicine’s continual concern over die pos sibility of tetanus—if practically every time a physician saw a wound he didn’t take precau tions against tetanus—the dis- 1 ease would rank much Higher among human killers." Tetanus is caused by a deadly poison emitted by certain bac teria which contaminate certain types of wounds—es puncture wounds, or ~wou with imbedded dirt. The bacteria itself cannot survive long enough in the open air to infect wounds. But its seeds or spores can. Tetanus spores are usually produced by bacteria growing within th*air-free intestinal tracts of mammals, including man, and reach the ground in animal manure. Within the in testines, bacteria cause no harm to their host, other than to serve as factories for the production of spores. Once on the ground the spores, which are unaffected by air, and are borne great dis tances on the wind, can survive for as long as 11 years. Besides cultivated land, they are com monly found in household dust and the grime of city streets. Some have even been detected in hospital operating rooms— tracked in on street shoes. The spores in some sections of the country are nearly as common as dirt, and await only the right kind of wound to start their chain of infection. Because of its peculiar nature, tetanus has never been a mass killer like some infectious dis eases. It is, however, a vicious enemy, killing 60 per cent of those it strikes. Development of immunity against tetanus, says Dr. White, requires a series of inoculations —three injections four weeks apart, followed within six to twelve months by a booster dose. To maintain this protection, additional booster shots are nec essary every four years. “Protection,” he said, “should begin early in life—one to two months after birth—for the scrapes and falls of childhood offer tetanus many opportunities. “But adults need protection too. With the new emphasis on outdoor living, with .accidents on the increase and with the r e of tetanus in the dust and all about us, we can only look forward to an increase in this deadly disease unless we make better use of our good sense, get immunized and keep immunized.” o, Quite a variety!!! Chevrolet offers 43 models for ’64 For 1964, the Chevrolet Motor Division will offer a total of 43 models in five separate passen ger car lines. Each line is distinguishable by its own styling and wheelbase. Above, reading down: the 108-inch wheelbase Corvair I.Ionza Coupe; 110-inch wheelbase Chevy II Nova 4-Door Sedan; the newest car in the Chevrolet family—the Chevelle Malibu 4-Door Sedan which has a wheel base of 115 inches while the Chevrolet Impala Sport Sedan is built on a 119-inch wheelbase. Not shown is the Corvette Sting Ray which sports a 98-inch wheelbase. Chevrolet dealerships will have a representative showing of all models when the new cars are introduced September 26. Newest model makes its bow— Chevrolet’s Chevelle Malibu SS Coupe Newest member of the growing Chevrolet passenger car family is the Chevelle. Although 16 inches shorter and 2.4 inches narrower than comparable Chevrolet models, the Chevelle offers virtually all the interior roominess and smooth fine car feel of a full-size luxury car. The Chevelle Malibu SS Sport Coupe (shown above) is one of 11 Chevelle models which will be in dealerships beginning September 26. The Chevelle is offered in the Malibu* Malibu SS and 300 Seriem A PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE FOR THE CITY OF NEWBERRY 1. PROCEDURE: In approach ing a zoning ordinance or land use administration for Newberry, the first step was to completely under stand the City, its existing growth patterns and potential and to pro ject this information into the fu ture in order to anticipate the fu ture growth patterns of the City. To do this a complete study of the present and future population and economy was conducted and an examination of the use of each and every parcel of property was made. Taken in its entirety, by know ing the present population and economic conditions and t he amount of land used by the exist ing population in carrying on its day to day activities we can, by projecting the population and eco nomy into the future, determine the future amount of land that will be required for the activities of the future population. The dis tribution of this future require ment of acreage in the Newberry Planning Area produced a Land Development Plan for Newberry and its vicinity. This distribution was made on the basis of best use for each land area; best use based on — current trends, typography, availability of utilities, the street and highway system, and existing and future relationships between adjoining land use areas. The zon ing ordinance is designed to bring about the Land Development Plan. In applying the zoning ordinance, existing uses and buildings will not be changed or affected. As new uses of land and buildings come into being they will come under the zoning ordinance pro visions. 2. BENEFITS. The zoning ordi nance is designed to safeguard and protect the individual from in trusion by his neighbor—intrusion which would adversely affect land values and living values. It is also designed to bring about a coordin ated development of the City in keeping with the Land Develop ment Plan so that the benefits ofi a better designed city will flow to all of the citizenry. These bene fits will show themselves in many ways among which, future tax savings is one of the most- import ant; for example, by knowing where the major industrial and commercial areas are to be located the City can design water and sewer services for these areas which meet their needs, both now and in the future, thus funds will not be wasted on undersized lines nor overexpended on oversize lines which will not be needed. The city can thus become more precise in its rendering of services and tax savings will occur. 3. PROVISIONS: The zoning ordinance provides for ten zoning districts described as follows: District R-12 Residential Dist rict. Purpose: A low density resi dential district, primarily single family in nature, but including two-family and multi-family dwell ings on large lots. R-10 Residential District. Same as the R-12 District, except that higher development densities are permitted. R-8 Residential District. Same as the R-10 District, except that higher development densities are permitted. R-6 Residential District. Same as R-8 District, except that higher development densities are permit ted. B-l Neighborhood Shopping District. This district is establish ed for the conduct of retail trade and services in outlying areas. It is primarily for the location of business uses which cater to the everyday needs of- neighboring residents and, secondarily, for the location of uses which cater to the overnight needs of highway transients. B-2 Central Business Districts. This district is the central shop ping core of the City. It is estab lished primarily for the conduct of retail, office and financial busi ness which normally require a cen tral location and which serve a regional trading area. It is intend ed that this district shall develop and be maintained as a tightly- knit core of commercial activity; and, for this reason, individual off- street parking facilities are not required. B-2A Central Business Districts. This district is on the perimeter of the central shopping core of the City. It is established primarily for the conduct of retail, office and financial business which normally require a central loca tion and which serve a regional trade area. It is intended that this district shall develop and be main tained as a part of the central commercial area and individual off-street parking facilities will be required. B-3 General Business District. This district is established for the extension of those uses permitted in the Central Business District and for the creation of general business areas in outlying loca tions for service to wide areas of population. Uses permitted in thi£ district include those permitted in the C, B, D. and also certain gen eral business uses which would be inimical to the function of the C, B, D. 1-1 General Industrial District. This district is established pri marily for the location of heavy commercial and industrial opera tions. It is not intended to permit in this district any use which is inherently obnoxious to concen trated urban areas because of noise, odors, smoke, light, dust, or the use of dangerous materials. M-l Exclusive Manufacturing District. This district is establish ed for the exclusive use of manu facturing type uses. The establish- menfr of thia district recognizes the necessity of providing and maintaining industrial areas which are protected from the intrusion of incompatible uses. It is not in tended to permit in this district any use which is inherently ob noxious to urban areas, because of noise, orors, smoke, light, dust, or the use of dangerous materials. These districts have a wide range of permitted uses. Residen tial district uses include all dwell ing, school, institutional, church, hospital, college, recreation and Uses include those uses of land or- home occupation uses. Neighborhood Shopping District dinarily fotmd in the neighbor hood type shopping center—groc ery stores, banks, drug stores, florist shops, service stations, bu siness offices, hardware stores, etc. Central Business District uses include those normally found in regional type shopping center, which are all types of indoor re tail use, newspaper and printing offices, business, professional and governmental offices, and all types of indoor service uses. The 'B-2A Central Business Dis trict fringe zone permits all Cen tral Business District uses as well as additional uses such as auto garages, tire recapping establish ments, etc. The General Business District may be deemed half business, half industrial, for in addition to retail and service establishment uses it includes frozen food lockers, rail road depots, machine shops, whole sale activities, warehouses, truck ing terminals, etc. The General Industrial District permits any use that is permitted in any zone in the zoning ordin ance and all manufacturing, pro cessing, assembling and fabricat ing operations, which would not be harmful to the City of Newbery. The Exclusive Manufacturing District prohibits all uses except manufacturing, processing and fabricating. It is designed speci fically for industrial users. The size of lot and yard re quirements vary from zone to zone. In the residential districts the R-12 District requires a 12,000 square foot lot with a 90-foot width at the front building line; the R-10 District, a 10,000 square foot lot with a 75-foot width at the front building line; the R-8 District, a 8000 square foot lot with a 60-foot lot width at the front building line; the R-6 Dis trict, a 6000 square foot let with a 50-foot lot width at the front j building line. There are minimum front yards and side yards re quired in each district. The busi ness and industrial districts have no such requirements except that the Neighborhood Shopping Dis trict has front (15 feet) and rear (10 feet) yard requirements and the exclusive manufacturing dis trict requires a 50-foot front yard and 25-foot side yard. Off-street parking and off-street loading are required in all districts except the Central Business District where it is not deemed feasible to provide off street parking on individual business lots. The Ordinance provides a meth od for changing its requirements and districts from time to time when desirable or on request of a citizen; and there will be a Board of Adjustment to provide for var iances in the Ordinance in hard ship cases where such variance is deemed necessary.

FERTILIZE PASTURES Winter pastures can be a good source of feed. But remember — your pasture is much the same as your bank account. You simply cannot take more out than you put in. That’s why if you plan to apply only nitrogen to your win ter pasture, you may be cheating yourself in the long run. The amount of grass you take off any pasture is always in di rect proportions to the fertility of the soil. Our experiment stations have found that it takes at least 80 pounds of P205 and K20 an nually to maintain our permanent pastures, such as fescue - clover pastures. That’s the approximate amount of phosphate and potash contained in 700 pounds of 4-12-12 fertilizer. Nitrogen of course is important in grass production. But don’t expect nitrogen to do the job alone. The soil fertility base must be built on lime, phosphate, and potash. Pastures built on such a fertility base will continue productive over a longer period of years and you’ll have more grass and less, weeds for your efforts. PUT IN A HOG PASTURE We need more hogs produced in Newberry county. Also let’s rem ember that hogs like pastures, too. Especially a legume pasture such as Ladino Clover. This fall would be a good time to put one in. A fescue-clover pasture would be fine too, but go heavy on the Lad ino Clover when seeding. Up to 5 pounds per acre is recommended for a hog pasture. Seeding this fall will give you some good graz ing beginning next spring. Lower feed cost can surely result from a good hog pasture. , < THE SHOE THAT HAS EVERYTHING f Fashion . endorses its look .. . contemporary classic with the new-shape low stacked heel* the availed toe and - topline.

Most of this increase has come from our rapidly expanding poul try business—namely laying hens. Our best guess is that there are now approximately 300,000 com mercial layers in Newberry county. Therefore we were quite interest ed in some figures we heard quot ed recently which indicates that each 100,000 laying hens contri bute approximately $600,000 to the local economy each year. This; includes the total income added to all cash costs of feeding, housing, labor, etc., involved in such an en terprise. This seems to us to be the kind of information we should attempt to use. Egg production is rapidly expanding all over the South. We already have the markets here and could possibly develop more. Everyone would welcome an in dustry locating in Newberry with a million dollars per year payroll. Perhaps we could develop this al ready established industry so it would likewise add a significant contribution to our local economy. New industry of other types would also, of course, be welcome. 1* *• Anderson’s L*«th*r reference* *0017 to Mppon only largmst tannltm control organization $5000 GUARANTEE Against Moro TornsJto Damage nOonOy ip ppcf 1800 k—^ Newberry Lumber Co., Inc. Authorized Representative For CONTINUE TO SEED OATS TERMINIX SERVICE For some reason or other the idea seems to have gotten around during recent years that it is no longer profitable to grow oats in Newberry county. At least our acreage of this versatile crop has continued to decline each year. Maybe so for a straight grain crop. But consider the other uses for this crop. How many livestock farmers have an adequate supply of hay this winter? Yet, we know that oats make as good hay as can be grown anywhere. Seeded now, oats can also provide some mighty good grazing before being put up for hay. Consider, too, that a silo full of oat silage can fill those gaps of short grazing next sum mer. And where properly fertiliz ed, yields of 60 to 100 bushels of harvested oats per acre is possible and still profitable in this county. We will not have reached our full livestock potential in Newber ry county until every acre not producing a cash crop, is produc ing either grass or a feed crop every possible day of the year. Oats are too valuable a crop to continue declining in our livestock county. Moregrain and Sumter are two mighty good varieties to plant. Continue sowing as late as Nov-^ ember, if necessary.
