During the past year, SCN be gan serving eight new areas of the state and expanded service in seven areas already being served by the construction of additional facilities. This was accomplished by mergers in Bamberg, Bennetts- ville ,and Spartanburg, including Lyman and Inman, and the open ing of new banks in Aiken, Abbe ville, and Denmark. Additional in- town offics were opened in Greenville, Columbia, Camden and Greenwood with new auxiliary fac ilities in Anderson, Newberry and Sumter. Also, a new bank was built in St. Matthews and in Cayce-West Columbia replacing other units, not counting major renovation in other offices of the SCN system. speeding, 55,771 cases; driver^, li cense law violations, 14,976 chses; and driving under the influence of intoxicants, 4,231 cases. Als. num erous were cases of driving With out vehicle licenses, passing un lawfully and operating vehicles in unsafe condition. In addition to the large num ber of arrests made by officers, 387,428 written warnings were issued to drivers. Largest num bers of warnings were issued for operating motor vehicles with im proper lights, speeding, walking in the road way and operating vehi cles without licenses. All fines collected as the result of cases made by patrolmen are deposited with the counties in which the violations occurred, and none are retained by the Highway Department. Patrolmen Busy During Past Year Law enforcement activities of the Highway Patrol were exten sive during 1963, resulting in the arrest of more than 140,000 traf fic law violators. A report of enforcement activi ties for the year reveals that Pa trol officers made 142,121 cases for violations ranging from reck less driving to illegal walking in the roadway. C nvictions were ob tained in 140,559 of the cases made during the period. Bonds posted with county and city courts as the result of cases made during the year totaled $2, 707,735. Major causes of motorist arrests in 1963, and the numbers of cases made in each o||ense, including Tree Farms, Inc. John C. Billingsley, president of Carolina Tree Farms, Inc., New berry, has announced that the firm paid another five per cent cash dividend to all stockholders of record as of August 1, 1963. This makes the fourth consecu tive year that the company has paid a cash dividend. It was or ganized in December 1955 and this makes a total of 45 per ct. in dividends paid to the original stockholders. Carolina Tree Farms, Inc is in the business of buying timber- lands and managing the proper ties following the best known in tensive forest management prac tices. By selectively cutting the lands, the average annual growth of forest products has been great ly increased and for this reason the company has been able to pay these dividends. Recently the as sets of the corporation have been cruised and appraised by an in dependent forester not connected with the company. He appraised the timberland asets of the com pany at over $350,000 which would indicate that the $25 par stock is now worth $50 par share. This shows that investing in timber growing lands in and around New berry county is a very profitable business and the old saying that money grows on trees has become a proven fact by this company’s operation, said Billingsly. Other officers and directors of the corporation are: H. M. Hentz, Vice-president; R. Aubrey Har ley, secretary; John C. Billingsley, treasurer; Guy V. Whitener Jr., Walter B. Wallace, Luke N. Brown Jr., Walter Regnery, Clark Hut chinson and Tom Brown. All of- rET PETS fortified SKIM milk Tastes better because it's FORTIFIED! PEOPLE'S BOOK STORE Now Under the Management of JAMES M.

By the end of 1961, more than 2000 had lost their lives before firing squads. Since then, many more have been murdered. Not one was submitted to a fair trial, and the only hear ing they had was a farce designed to give those crimes a semblance of justice to avoid the inevitable repulse of civilized nations of the world. As a people, we have an awful responsibility for this prevalance of torture and terror in Cuba. The very continuity of our own sys tem of law, order and liberty is tnreatened by it, as President Kennedy’s assassination has so tragically demonstrated. In 1962, at Geneva, the Interna tional Commission of Jurists— lawyers representing some 27 countries—published a report on the present condition of the Rule of Law in Cuba. A year later, a report published by the Inter- American Commission of Human Rights of the OAS, was entitled “Report on the Situation of Poli- ficers and directors are from Newberry with the exception of Clark Hutchinson who lives in Columbia and Luke N. Brown Jr., Ridgeland. A] lencan Marlon Brando, Sandra Church, Pat Hingle. ALWAYS A COLOR CARTOON tical Prisoners and their Relatives in Cuba.” Unfortunately, relatively few people will see these reports, and an even smaller number will read them. Consequently, they will do little to dispel the ignorance and indifference that now prevails concerning the horrible carnival of blood and terror being staged un der our official protection just 90 miles from sunny Florida. In the Jurists report, these conclusions were established con cerning the “Revolutionary Courts”: Most of their members are not lawyers and many are il literate; defense counsel have themselves been persecuted, im prisoned and even shot for de fending political prisoners; in many cases defense witnesses have been taken from the stand to prison; the verdict, owing to the ignoranco of the members of the court, has often been drawn up beforehand by government legal officials. Today there are some 75,000 political prisoners in Cuba. Many are in jails, prisons or concentra tion camps, sentenced for indefi nite periods, without trial. There are countless cases of physical mis-treatment, psychological tor ture and unsanitary prisons in cluded in these reports. Often this mis-treatment extends to families of prisoners who come to visit the prisoner, frequently resulting in injury and death. These violations of human rights are utterly repulsive to the juridical conscience of the Ameri- FARM NOTESlSiurs i ii i iniiiffiiimtiiiimi'iti FARM RECORDS IMPORTANT Too few farmers keep adequate farm records; 1964 should be a year of change in this respect. Not only should records be kept, but they should be analyzed at the end of each year if they are to serve the intended purpose—to improve the farm business. So far, many farmers keep records only to back-up their in come tax returns. This is good, but not enough. We can think of better benefits that farmers receive from keep ing adequate records. In 1963 rec ords helped some Newberry county farmers collect damages for loss of egg and milk production re sulting from Swift Strike III army maneuvers. Well kept rec ords can often convince your hanker that he should lend you money. Milk and egg production have increased on a number of farms as a direct result of ap plied management obtained from keeping records. Begin the new year right! Let us furnish you with a farm ac count book and at the same tim& inform you of the various record keeping programs available. CONTROL CATTLE LICE Lice on cattle may be present at any time of the year, but are most, abundant during the winter when the coat is thick and long and tHe skin is relatively dry of oil. The irritation from these parasites causes the animals to rub and scratch persistently, resulting ig patches of skin becoming sore and bare of hair. can people. The Board of Gover nors of the American Bar Associa tion recently adopted a resolution urging the UN, the OAS, the In ternational Red Cross, and other organizations to take appropriate steps toward the correction of such abuses. The Inter-American Conferences have frequently recognized the in alienable rights of the American States to choose freely their own form of government and economic system. Cubans are suffering pol itical prison. The fact that nearly a half-million have fled the Island and that many more are willing to gamble with their lives in a daily flight against the Commun ist regime, is the best proof that the Cuban people are determined to live under freedom and are wil ling to take any risk so that lib erty will shine again in their land. The next time you hear some orator discourse on the possibility of world' peace through world court action, remember to ask about Cuba, or Communism, or the fact that a billion people are now living under lawless unmoral terror. We will have world peace through world law only when Communism has been destroyed.
