Our own troubles, if we have any, concern us far more than the trou bles of the world, grave as they may be. tilt What can't be done easily probably can't be done well. VOLUME 27—NUMBER 47. NEWBERRY, S. C. 29108 THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1964 $2.00 Per Year By-The^Way .. . b y doris a. sanders A PRECEDENT City Council Tuesday ni^ht changed the name of Clary Drive to Pool Drive. Now it makes no difference to me which name the street goes by, but I must agree with Mayor Layton and Council man Dufford that Council is set ting a precedent, and possibly a very bad one, by continuing this business of changing street names. The Mayor said if a majority of the residents of, for instance, O' Neal street, asked for a name change, Council would have to follow its previous example and grant the change. If it weren’t for the fact that this is an historic name (even though it is misspell ed), I might start a campaign to have the name changed to Layton street in honor of our mayor who lives on O’Neal. Or perhaps we could get amajority of the folks on Jessica Avenue to sign a peti tion requesting the street be named Squirrel Boulevard, since there seem to be more squirrels in residence there than anywhere else. This is being facetious, of course but I still feel that once streets are named, put on city maps and accepted by the city, the names should remain.

(Sunphoto) County Airport Funds In Bill COLUMBIA—Lawmakers from Newberry and Anderson counties relaxed a little Tuesday after see ing the conference committee re port on the state general appro priations bill. The conference committee left untouched appropriated state funds for airports in the two counties, but wielded an axe on two other county allocations. Anderson County is due to get $25,000 and Newberry County $20,- 000 under the S. C. Aeronautics Commission’s state aid for airport development program. The committee chopped out $88,- 000 for Clarendon County and $20,000 for Lake City airport, both of which had Senate approval. But left in was $83,000 in aid for five lowstate airports. The committee report is sched uled for consideration in both House and Senate Wednesday morning. Named President Of State Group On Committees Of USSL League CHICAGO. ILL.—John F. Clark son. president, Newberry Federal Savings & Loan Association, and Pinckney N. Abrams, secretary- treasurer, State Building & Loan Association, Newberry, S.

The Wal drop Brothers are perhaps the most important factor in the out standing record achieved in New berry county. They market about 90 per cent of all eggs produced here. And all eggs produced here if laid end to end would stretch to Quebec, Canada and back. 1 wondered how the experts figured this out. They tell me they de termine the average egg is about 2 inches in length, and from that they made their calculations. The good ladies of the Silver- street Home Demonstration Club served the breakfast and proved that scrambled eggs can be pre pared for a number of people and still be good—especially when they are Newberry County scram bled eggs.

Until now, Newberry had charg ed 25 cents a room for building permits. The new code provides for building inspection during con struction and the fee for permits basically w r as set at $1 for each $1,000 in building cost. To cover situations in which new construction permits are not re quired, Council also set separate inspection fees for electrical, gas, and plumbing installations at $1.50 for each inspection required. Byers Construction Co. of Greenwood, low bidder, was aw arded a $93,000 contract for water plant construction. The contract was held up pending sale of $200, only one car has been traded each year and it was anticipated to trade only one this year when the budget was prepared, so the total expenditure in trading all three will exceed the budgeted item for that purpose. The Newberry County Rescue Squad, based in the city, asked council for an appropriation of $300 a year to cover operating ex penses. Frank Leopard, spokesman for the squad, told the council that county funds could be obtained but that the rescue squad vcould have to go under direct control of the county Civil Defense director and “we could go only where the coun ty says go.” Council voted to change the name of Clary Drive to Poole Drive on request of a majority of landowners on the street.
