THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1964 $2.00 Per Year By-The-Way . . . By DORIS A. SANDERS r-ys.-’.-ysss/ X • v- • • ‘ ? V'S# HE WON’T AGREE My friend Ed McConnell won’t agree with this, but two recent surveys made in the state show that the reason industry is willing to locate in South Carolina—at least in certain parts of South Carolina— is that they aren’t troubled with labor unions. Drfl C. H. Whitehurst Jr., of Clemson college, who surveyed 19 industries—five textile, the re mainder non-textile—came to the conclusion ”It would seem from the data gathered that amicable labor relations was the most sig nificant factor in the decision to locate or relocate . . . availability of S. C.labor appears to be sec ond in general importance.” Ami cable labor relations, of course, means no laoor unions. Dr. A. C. Flora Jr., of the University of South Carolina sur veyed 55 firms. The replies he re ceived indicated that manpower considerations are by far the most important in location decis ions—and the considerations in cluded labor supply, labor costs and labor climate. Also found to be of importance by Dr. Whitehurst was community attitude and aids. “Several of the company repre sentatives interviewed stated that the absence of unions was a con- 1 industry’s profits, have we ' ceived ? We have received how. They do it using fear and the whip as the motive force behind production. But if men are to work volun tarily, willingly and eagerly to make better products, to explore new frontiers, and to build a richer life for all, they must see a chance for a profit. One of the primary targets of the socialist-minded has been the pharmaceutical industry. Some time ago the president of one of the leading pharmaceutical houses said “Men of vision and courage in our industry have undertaken risks which more often resulted in failure than in success. The reasonable rewards which provide the incentive for this activity are profits. Without them our indus try could not operate as it does. The perverted sense of values which has been forced upon us in recent years draws the broad im plication that because our industry is commercial we should be sus pect; the word profits has been portrayed as having an evil con notation; most recently w'e have been depicted as an industry wil ling, for profit, to foist ‘unsafe’ drugs upon an unsuspecting pub lic. Nothing could be farther from the truth.” W’hat, in return for the drug re- tributing factor in selecting their present locations,” Dr. White hurst writes. “They cited ‘freedom to manage’ is one of the most im portant results flowing from an absence of labor unions. These officials stated that while working with unions at previous locations, much valuable time was lost be cause of the necessity to consult the unions before making numer ous decisions. It w*as felt that la bor contract negotiations with unions were expensive and time- eonsuming.” So says Dr. White hurst. Ever wonder why Newberry doesn’t get any new industry ? mira cle drugs that have banished many of the most dreaded of killers and controlled others. Life has been prolonged—and beyond that, made infinitely more productive and worthwhile, especially in the lat ter years. The physician has been given invaluable tools, many of which did not exist 20 or even 10 years ago. Is that a fair exchange? Mr. and Mrs. L. Hart Jordan not only are giving of their time, by serving as chairmen of the industrial division for the Girl Scout Fund Drive, but also of their money to help with the Girl Scout program in Newberry. Mr. Jordan makes his contribution to daughter Mary Hart, a Cadette Scout, while Mrs. Jordan sends hers by daughter Frances, a Junior Scout. (Sunphoto). Volunteer Workers Busy On Scout Drive HIS DANDER UP Congressman Bryan Dorn has his dander up, and with good rea son. Seems that a bureaucrat from the Interior Department came to the Third Congressional District last week, trying to tell the people of Congressman Dorn’s District that they should buy federal pow er. Mr. Dorn calls this an insult to governors present and past, to the legislature, to the Committee on Public Works of the U. S. House of Representatives and to the overwhelming majority of the S. C. Congressional delegation, all of whom have opposed Trotter Shoals dam, another Federal pow er project which was defeated largely because of Dorn’s active opposition. City Council of Newberry was asked to purchase this federal power but sensibly declined to do so. Mr. Dorn bays “I warn and urge any municipality signing this contract to study every clause very carefully. I believe it is a step toward complete federal control of our municipalities and local governments.” Speaking of the bureaucrat, a Kenneth Holum, the Congressman said on the floor of the House: “Mr. Speaker, as a South Caro lina Democratic representative in the Congress for more than 15 rs, I resent this modern day Federal Government bureaucratic carpetbagger coming down at government expense to tell the people of South Carolina what they need and what they ought to do. I resent this political con spiracy concocted in Washington against me and the best interests of my people ... It is improper to project himself into the Trot ter Shoals controversy just before the South Carolina Democratic primary, and therefore I think Mr. Holum should apologize to the Democrats of South Carolina or resign. Civil Court Jurors Named Court of Common Pleas (civil) will be held in Newberry begin ning January 27 with Judge Thomas B. Greneker of Edgefield presiding.

TAKE YOUR CHOICE One of the most dangerous illu sions fostered in this country in late years is that there is some thing sinful about profits—that profits are a device for robbing the people. A friend of mine was only yes terday showing me a survey that had been made among high school students to see how much they knew about the free enterprise system. I don’t recall the exact figure—seems to me it was about 79 per cent—but anyway, an al most unbelievable number of the students did not think it was necessary for a company to make a profit. It is possible, of course, to run an economy on a profitless basis. The Communists demonstrate Joe J. Boazman Rites Wednesday CHAPPELLS — Joe Jennings Boazman, 77, of Rt. 1, Chappells, died Monday night at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Guy Dom inick in Cayce, after several months of declining health. He was born and reared in Chappells, son of the late Ralph and Jo Jennings Boazman. He was a member of Chappells Bap tist Church and was a veteran of World War I. He formerly w-as a trustee of Chappells School and was a farmer all his life. His wife, Mrs. Janie Reel Boazman, died in 1950. Surviving are two sons, Earl Boazman of Chappells and Ralph Boazman of Newberry; three daughters, Mrs. Guy (Josie) Dom inick of Cayce, Mrs. Scott (Fran ces) Boozer of Chappells and Mrs. Robert (Christine) Able of Greenwood; and nine grandchil dren. He was the last member of his immediate family. Funeral services were conducted Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. at Chap pells Baptist Church by Rev. Roy E. Durst. Burial was in the church cemtery. Pallbearers were Bill, Bobby, John Lake and Jimmy Reel, Rob ert Shufford, J. K. Arant, Carl Dietz and Barry McAdams. Keitt Purcell, chairman of the business district division of the 1964 Girl Scout Fund drive, an nounced today that 18 workers are canvassing business firms for con tributions to the Girl Scout cause in the Newberry Neighborhood. Mr. Purcell stated that some of the volunteer workers have al ready turned in their reports, but others will not be ready to report until later in the week, or early next week. Howard Kirkegard, general chairman of the drive, stated that notices were being sent this week to all parents of Girl Scouts, and urged that parents send their con tributions to the child’s troop leader, or have the Scout take it no later than the next meeting. “Parents show an interest in the Girl Scout program by encourag ing their children to attend.” Mr. Kirkegard said, “and we believe that all parents of Scouts will send their contributions voluntar ily.” He added, however, that those parents who do not send contribu tions will be contacted by troop members. Plans are also getting underway for the solicitation of donations from the industrial section, ac cording to Mr. and Mrs. L. Hart Jordan and Ed Beck, who are ser ving as co-chairmen for this di vision. The goal of the Girl Scout Drive is $3173, which will be used in the county to continue and expand Scout activities for girls from sev en to 17 years old in the Newber ry Neighborhood. “Many women of our commun ity are devoting hours of their time, as well as their talents, to train our girls, and often spend their own funds in the effort,” Mr. Kirkegard says. “The least we can do is to make a financial contri bution to assure that our young girls of today will be responsible citizens of our community tomor row.” Lee-Jackson Program Set Open House At SCN Monday Open House at the South Caro lina National Bank’s new install ment loan and Drive-In Office and remodeled Main Office in New berry will be held on Monday, Jan. 20, from 5 to 9 p.m. The public is invited to the Open House at which refresh ments will be served and souvenirs presented to every person attend ing.

S. cur rency on display, according to Wm. J. Raffield, Vice- President. The exhibit, obtained from the Federal Reserve Bank of Rich mond, will continue on display through the remainder of the week for those who can’t get to see it on the 20th Mr. Raffield said. “All denominations of United $1 through $10,000 are included in the ex hibit,” Mr. Raffield said. “It con tains facsimilies of Federal Re serve Notes, Federal Reserve Bank Notes, United States Currency, and Silver Certificates, some of them in both the old ‘shin-plaster’ size and the present-day size.” Mr. Raffield pointed out that United States paper money, al- much alike, does differ in appearance in certain technical aspects. “Most people, including many I bankers I’m afraid, seldom take the time to look at their money carefully,” he said, “not that it’s particularly necessary except when counterfeiters are at work in the area. But it may be worth noting that of the three prin *?al kinds of paper money in circula tion today Silver Certificates have a blue Treasury seal, U. S. Notes a red seal, and Federal Reserve Notes a green seal.” “Silver Certificates,” he added, “come mainly in $1, $5, and $10 denominations and United States Notes primarily in $2 and $5 de nominations, while Federal Re serve Notes are printed in denom inations of $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $500, $1000, $5000 and $10,000.” “Federal Reserve Notes, Mr. Raffield said, “make up the bulk of the currency in circulation to day. These are issued, in accord ance with law, by the country’s 12 Federal Reserve Banks. Most of the paper money in use in New berry is probably notes of the Reserve Bank of Rich- Members of the Newberry High School band who were chosen for all-state and clinic bands are shown here with their director.

Altman, who for several years has served as director of the Newberry County Cvil Def ense program, has resigned his position, effective January 15. Walter Hamm of Prosperity has been named to succeed Mr. Alt man. Mr. Hamm has served with the civil defense program as deputy director and is well qualified and familiar with the program and its responsibilities. “It has been a real pleasure, as well as very educational to me, having served as director,” Mr. Altman said, “and I wish to thank all citizens of Newberry county who have worked and cooperated with the Civil Defense program. “There is no need to let up on our civil defense program since we do not have a crisis like the Cuban crisis last year,” Mr. Alt man continued, “because a strong civil defense program is a great deterent against war as a strong military defense.” tion for positions in the All-State bands. The entire day was spent by committees of South Carolina band directors listening to each student perform, then at the end of the day, selecting 295 students for places in three bands: Senior All-State, Clinic Band, and Junior All-State. Each student audition ing was required to play scales, sightread rhythm and melodic pat terns, demonstrate a knowledge of I music terms, perform a solo, and in general prove his ability on his chosen instrument. Six members of the Newberry High School group were selected members of one of the three bands. Tip Jones was rated third of all cornet players to audition. He thereby beconjes not only a mem ber of the Senior All-State band, but by virtue of being among the top three is also a member of the All-State Orchestra. Cathy Ben nett, who was a member of the Junior All-State Band last year was also selected, as wAs Harry Moose, who is a newcomer to the All-State this year. Cathy plays French horn and Harry plays clar inet. \«' i 1 Barry Shealy, who was fourth bassoon in the Clinic Band last year has moved to second this year. Mary Ruth Armfield is fourth flute in this band, moving from number ten last year. Kathy Haltiwanger, a ninth grade stu dent, is first alto clarinet in the Junior All-State. The Junior band is comprised of students in grades nine and below. The other bands are students from grades 10, 11 and 12. The bands will meet for a three- day session at Furman University Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday, January 24-26. Each band will be under the leadership of a well-known director and will have an opportunity to play music much more difficult than would be possible in their local bands. The Clinic will be climaxed with a concert on Sunday in McAlister Auditorium on the Furman cam pus. The public is invited. There will be no charge for admission. The six Newberry students in the clinic and all-state bands have received all of their instru mental training in the local bands; none have had private lessons. Miss Lorraine Paris is director of bands for the Newberry city schools. Auditor Finds City In Good Financial Shape -• •• - - — •- -'-w*'-- MRS.

Burial was in New Silverbrook cemetery. At its first regular session, the newly installed city council heard good news Tuesday night: the city is in the best condition financially than it has eV&r been. This opin ion was expressed by Auditor C. Walter Summer, who was present at the meeting to explain the audit report to the city fathers. In addition to giving a good re port on the city’s finances, Audi tor Summer commended the city for the work done toward updating its accounting system. Mayor Ernest Layton rcid a resolution of appreciation for the service rendered over a period of 22 years by O. H. Willingham, who has retired fr6m the police de partment. The mayor , also read a letter from Newberry College President Dr. A. G. D. Wiles, thanking council for its help to the college during the year and especially for paving 1 the college’s second park ing lot. The council discussed putting 20 deposit boxes in the business dist rict for collection of parking me ter fines. The fines at present are paid at the city police station. The only apparent objection to this plan was from Councilman Mc- Cutcheon, who seemed to feel it would inconvenience motorists to walk half a block to deposL a parking violation fine; however, he did not vote against the action. City Manager Kenneth Riebe said the boxes would increase reve nue from the parking fines and create good public relations by be ing convenient to the public. Coun cilman Jack Senn agreed that this would be a good investment for the city, and seconded the motion, made by Councilman Gerald Tay lor, to purchase the boxes and en velopes for paying the fines. Tne vote for unanimous. Council decided to demolish two small frame houses near Margaret Hunter park on the Harmon prop erty which the city recently pur chased.
