SANDERS BI T IT COULD! “They said it couldn’t be done’’ —-but it was! And again I am re ferring— probably for the la.'-t time in this column—to the Bound ary Street School Bell project. I was completely optimistic at the beginning. "Of course we can do it,” I said. But at that time, we were talking of a project cost ing some $300 or $400, $500 at the most. As time went on and plans were altered and costs increased, for a while it did almost appear that “it couldn’t be done"—-but with additional encouragement and promise of additional financial backing, the project was contin ued, completed and dedicated on schedule. The cost, as you will see else where, when we get the Imal fi gures in, will exceed $110h.

For there was no such group in this case. The Boundary Street PTA, at the be ginning- of the year, rejected the idea of mounting the bell.

There are many people who need j a production of 32.021.3h7 pounds, to lie recognized for their efforts, and the large dairy county of Those who spent most time and effort on the project were recog nized at the dedication ceremony and in the newspaper last week, but there were others, some whose names I do not even know. Mr. Johnny Halfacre of the city, kept a constant check to see that all was going along as needed at the project; Charles Boozer and other city workers kept busy at the foundation work until it was com pleted; Bob Creekmore and Charles Sligh had the arduous task of cleaning some 73 years accumulation of debris from the bell before it was mounted; the city folks did a fine job of clean ing the school yard and wetting down the dust before the dedica tion service. Mrs. Betty Bishop, secretary at Speers Street sehool and lunch room supervisor,, was of invalu able help in planning the menu, ordering food and caring for other details concerning the turkey din ner, held to raise funds. Supt. Ed Beck, Principal Mrs. Ruby Ab rams and every teacher willingly cooperated in working on the din ner, giving out tickets and accept ing money for same; and the big reason the dinner wms such a suc cess was that it was prepared by the excellent caterers at Boundary Street School: Parnell Sprawls, Versa Singley, Claudia Martin, Nina Perdue, Jenny Oxner and Mozelle Ringer. The Boundary cus todians, R. R. Davis and T. J. Vines, not only helped with the dinner, but saw that things were all in order for the dedication ceremony. Meredith Harmon willingly brought his Senotype machine to the dedication service, so that a verbatim report could be made and the words spoken could be kept as a future memory of the occasion. Miss Juanita Hitt gathered to gether students whose parents had been taught by Miss Gertrude Reeder, and trained them for the occasion, and as an added interest made name tags so that Miss Ger trude could identify the parents of the youngsters. Bill Kibler and I both found that there was more than meets the eye to keeping a record of the donors and donations, but he wil lingly kept to the chore and his boss, Jack Raffield, just as will ingly allowed him the time to do so.

Department of Agri culture reports that dairy feeds amounted to 04,777 tons during the 1902-63 fiscal year and rep resented a little over 14 per cent of the total feed consumed in the state for all agricultural purposes. Inspection fees levied on this feed netted the state’s treasury $10, 194.08. The first three months of 1904 reveals that S. C. dairymen are keeping up production even though the number of producers has de creased. On a state-wide basis, dairying is ranked fifth on the list of ag ricultural products come to farmers. 1 OR I . S. HOUSE OF R ERR FSF.NT ATI V US * Vote for one. scratch other) \v J. Bin'AN DORN T.
