PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1964 Billingsley Is Club Speaker Forest Conservation was the topic of the March meeting of the Newberry Garden club Thursday at the home of Mrs. Thomas H. Pope Jr. with Mrs. Louis Floyd assisting. At this time an inter esting talk was given by John Billingsly, local forester. Before the meeting was called to order delicious refreshments were served in the dining room. Mrs. James E. Wiseman Sr. pour ed coffee. Mrs. Hugh B. Senn presided in the absence of the president, Mrs. James E. Wiseman Jr. The collect was recited in unison and Mrs. James F. Coggins, Conservation chairman, introduced Mr. Billings- iy* Mr. Billingsly began his talk by noting that by forest conservation he did not mean preservation but meant the wise use of our nat ural resources. He pointed out that the aid of any forester could more than double the timber growth of any track of land. By 1970, according to the speaker, the timber industry should shift to the South East be cause of the quicker growth here. This, he said, is the forest grow ing section of the United States as it is blessed with a specie of trees that is most prolific. He pointed out the importance of educating the people on forest con servation, stressing the danger of timber shortage that could be felt if over-cutting or improper cut ting is 'allowed. Every nation but this one has government control of forest cutting, according to Mr. Billingsley. While he is not in favor of federal control of our forest cutting, he does recommend county or state control if educa tion does not correct the problem. Aside from obvious benefits to our timber crop, he said that prop er forest conservation also pre serves our wildlife and water re sources, provides recreation and creates jobs. After his interesting talk Mr. Billingsley conducted a question and answer period. He was pre sented a gift of appreciation from the. club. During the business session Mrs. Price J. Padgett, recording secre tary, read the minutes of the last meeting. Mrs. Joe M. Rob erts, treasurer, reported that she received a letter from the Blue Star Highway thanking the club for its contribution. a Mrs. Charles B. Whittle, Junior Garden Club chairman, reported that Mrs. Padgett and Mrs. Rob ert E. Livingston Jr. had a pro gram on trees at the Junior’s Feb ruary meeting. At this time they planted a dogwood tree and sugar maple seedling at Boundary street school, where the Juniors are pu pils of Mrs. Ruth Pugh. The club voted to write a letter to the School Board recommend ing that the board get a compe tent landscape architect to draw plans for planting the school grounds so that interested organi zations or individuals, wishing to assist in the planting, would know what plants to get and where they should be placed. This could be a long-range program. Mrs. Senn turned the meeting over to Mrs. Wiseman Sr., inconf- ing president, who read the com mittees for the new garden club year.

Elected by their teammates to fill the positions of leadership were two linesmen—guard Jim Acker and Tackle Dennis Lynn. Acker, elected to serve as the Indian’s captain for 1964, hails from St. Petersburg, Fla. He is a 6’, 195 pound guard, and he was one of the hardest working play ers on the 1963 squad. Acker, a solid performer on both offense and defense, was called on to play 60 minutes of football on several occasions, and he did his task well. Acker is probably one of the most underrated players of the 1963 team which furnished such stars as Fred Haley and Tom Gorman. Lynn, a native of Greer, has been chosen to serve as co-Captain for the 1964 Indians. He has been a consistent performer for the Indians over the last three years. He is also a consistent offensive and defensive player, but many of his abilities have gone unnot iced by fans and press alike. Nevertheless, Lynn knows what his job is and he gets it done. Big Shoot Set At Gun Club Seventy shooters are expected this Sunday at the Newberry Gun Club for the 100-target registered shoot. They will come to Newberry from three states to try for one of the 18 trophies which will be awarded in this shoot. The field will be opened Saturday afternoon, when a large crowd is expected, and shooting will begin Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m. Advance reservations began coming in on Monday with 15 shooters from Gastonia, N. C. registering. Sunday’s 100-bird shoot is reg istered by the National Skeet Shooters Association and the sta^e association.- Walter Cousins is a director, and Wyman Cook is secretary-treasurer of the state group. Only members of both as sociations will be permitted to shoot in the registered shoot and any skeet-shooter may join both associations prior to the shoot and participate. Top scorer last week was Doyle Long with 99x100. Lack of space prohibits publication of remaining sgo£$s this week. busiS* ^ ©to i ni^ir niD W | £ Plans Made For District Meet Drayton Rutherford chapter, U. D. C. held its regular monthly meeting March 3 in the home of Mrs. Elmer Shealy, with Mrs. A. J. Briggs and Mrs. T. B. Lester assisting hostesses. Previous to the program, the members enjoyed hot coffee, de licious carrot cake, salted nuts and other dainties. Mrs. Walter Summer as leader for the historical period, had chos en Wade Hampton for her sub ject appropriate to his birthday anniversary on March 18. Then, too; since she has been old enough to read and study Confederate history, he stands just about the top of her Confederate heroes. A C I She gave a most interesting com bination of a paper and a talk, be ginning with his early ancestors from whom he inherited many of the characteristics displayed later on the fields of battle and in the halls of statesmen, both state and national. Mrs. R. D. Wright added a per sonal note when she mentioned that, as a girl of about fifteen years, she had the rich experience of walking past Gen. Hampton’s home in Columbia after he had left the U. S. Senate, and seeing the old gentleman seated in a rocking chair on the porch of the home that the citizens of Columbia had given him; the same side whiskers, but not so flowing as of former days. Under business, the Recording Secretary, Mrs. Louis Floyd, read the minutes of the February meet ing which were approved as read. The Treasurer, Mrs. L. G. Mc Cullough, reported a check sent to headuqarters by March 1 for membership dues as required by the rules. She also reported a check for $47 sent to the U. D. C. Magazine publication office for an every member yearly subscription covering the active members and also to the honorary ones, viz., Mesdames F. B. Setzler, Holland Sligh, and Mrs. Reeder Brooks— all such valuable members when health permitted. The remaining time was occu pied with the Ridge District Con ference which meets in Green wood March 17—who could attend, who would fill their cars, etc. Since Mrs. Walter Summer is the director for the district which in cludes Aiken, Abbeville (2 chaps.), Clinton, Batesburg, Greenwood (2) Newberry (2), Prosperity and Edgefield, Drayton Rutherford is hoping to have the largest attend ance. This can only be possible by cooperation of the members. One General U.D.C. officer will be there; the South Carolina Division President, Mrs. Julian White, is a member of one of the hostess chapters; and several division of ficers and chairmen will also be there. | m pM V ' MUi Haven’t you heard?

Camellias Bloom In Charleston Blossoming camelias in rampant profusion highlight this week s display in Charleston’s Famous Gardens. The delicate blooms that offer a rainbow of brilliant color at tract hundreds of visitors daily, and, as the tourist season in Charleston and the Lowcountry moves toward its peak, the gard ens will continue to be the focal point of sightseers. Mild weather and an abundance of rainfall have combined to bring the abundance of flowers to an ever-increasing peak of beauty. “Conditions have been favorable thus far, and the blossoms are •magnificent,” said C. Norwood Hastie Jr., spokesman for the trio of gardens. Mr. Hastie is proprietor of Mag nolia Gardens, noted for the var iety and beauty of its camellias and other later blooming spring flowers. Within a short drive of the city, Magnolia is situated off the Scenic Highway between Char leston and Summerville. Farther along the scenic route in the direction of Summerville is Middleton Place, considered Amer ica’s finest formal garden. Lying along the banks of the Ashley riv er, as does Magnolia, Middleton has been accorded equal rank with noted gardens of England and the Continent. The third of Charleston’s Fam ous Gardens is Cypress Gardens, whose abundance of colorful aza leas and ebony lakes give it uni que charm. Municipally owned, the vast showplace was given last year to the city by Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin R. Kitteredge Jr. It lies off Highway 52, north of Charleston. Each of the three gardens boasts its own distinctive charac teristics, and each is equally ap pealing. Huge trees, their boughs draped in the graceful charm of Spanish moss, lend the aura of splendid permanence to each and provide a handsome canopy to the loveliness below. The gardens are open to the public from 8 a.m. to sundown each day.

Itp From Alfaretta Courtright, Al vin, Texas: I remember when we used to let the littlest one give the welcome at the Children’s Day exercises. I remember when I did if When Mama taught it to me she said: “Now don’t say it all the way to the stage;, stop first and make a little bow and then start. I did, I made a bow and waited so long they thought I wasn’t going to say it at all, but I did. I remember what I said, too: We’re glad to see the sunshine, We’re glad to see the flowers; But most of all we’re glad to see These loving friends of otuu. I remember wishing I could be in the Maypole drill, and by the time I was big enough to wind the Maypole they didn’t wind it anymore. Or maybe I just wasn’t good enough. I remember the parades they used to have Decoration Day. All the Sons of Veterans rode on a float When they marched into the cemetery one of the little boys or girls carried a flag. I al ways wondered why I wasn’t a son of a veteran and wondered what that was. And I remember when I was old enough to under stand they told me why I wasn’t a son of a veteran or a daughter, either. We came from a long line of Quakers and Brethren and none of us had borne arms. I re member the solemn pride I felt later when some of us did serve in the United States armed forces.
