Sen. Jesse F. Hawkins said that street is in preparation for widen- * ing and repaving that street, and at the same time, paving the cir cle around the school. Like almost everyone else, I complained of the traffic hold-up at Boundary, but now, seeing all those beautiful trees coming down, I’m not quite so sure it’s worth having that street a little wider. Of course it’s too late to worry about it because the trees are already gone—so we can only hope that the convenience will end the sense of loss to those of us who, many years ago, played under those trees when we attended Boundary —and that was a long time ago! The biggest relief that will come to harried mother-chauffeurs will be the paving of the traffic cir cle, I believe. It is certainly in sad condition now. the funds, if finally approved, would be used to pave and length en the Newberry airport runway.

The Heart Sunday observance marks the high point in the South Carolina Heart Association’s an nual campaign. “Most people think of heart at tack when heart disease is men tioned,” she said. “Heart attack is a major element in the total pic ture, being responsible for nearly 500,000 deaths each year. But it is only one of many cardiovascular problems with which we have to cope. “The others include stroke, high blood pressure and hardening of the arteries, rheumatic fever and inborn heart defects—to mention just a few. The Heart Fund fights them all.” The ward chairmen for Heart Sunday are: WARD 1—Chairman, Mrs. J. Emmett Nichols; Captains, Mrs. Robert O’Dell; Mrs. T. J.

ITS IN THE AIR The feel of politics is in the air, as Democrats and Republicans plan to hold their precinct organi zational meetings Saturday in preparation for the county con ventions to be held March 2nd. The Democrats will set a pri mary date, set fees for candidates and elect delegates to the State convention, among other items o^ business. As for the Republicans— on the local level at least, appar ently the only business at hand will be the election of delegates to the State convention who are pledged, in turn, to electing dele- grates to the National convention who will support the nomination of Barry Goldwater as the Republi can presidential candidate. It would seem a foregone con clusion that Senator Goldwater will have the overwhelming, if not unanimous, support of all South Carolinians. The Democratic state conven tion might offer a little more ex citement. Will the delegates go along unanimously with Lyndon Johnson, who has pledged him self to do everything possible to change the way of life in the South? Much as it is to be regret ted, chances are that the Demo crats will do just that. We’ll soon *ee.
