Ihinys look considerably briyhter this Wed nesday morniny, with even the NBC news commentators sayiny that Goldwater will be nominated. As you read this, you will know. The leftwiny commentators and editorialists cannot seem to com prehend that so many people from throuyhout the country could be such ardent advocates of w h a t they term Goldwaterism. It is even amaziny to me, but deeply yrat- ifyiny, that this desire for a re turn to conservative, constitutional yovernment exists throuyhout the country, not just in the beleay- uered South. The best thiny I’ve seen to come out of the convention to date was the attack by former President Eisenhower on the ir responsible news commentators and editorial writers. As. Mr. Eis enhower said, “they couldn’t care less what happens to the Repub lican party.” It was a yenuine pleasure to at least see these rad ical elements taken to task in plain view of millions and millions of listeners.

Thousands ind thousands of dollars paid in- o this organization by underpaid eachers has openly gone into lob- )ying for federal aid—and do you still doubt that federal aid means ederal control? But few teachers )elieved, or cared enough to do mything about it as long as it vould feather their own nests, ^.nd a few years ago, when there vas rumbling about integration, was told “Oh, they (the leaders >f the NEA) don’t really intend to orce integration—they’re just do ng a lot of talking and ...” the dd refrain—“by staying in we can lave some influence.^ At its convention recently the ^EA didn’t suggest that its southern affiliates integrate; it ssued an ultimatum and a threat. Phe NEA said “you must remove acially restrictive clauses from . . constitutions and by-laws and >resent a plan for complete inte gration” by July 1, 1966, or else, sounds like Earl Warren’s Sup- ■eme Court, doesn’t it? It is to the credit of many south Carolina teachers that >rior to this time they have be- ome disturbed by various poli ces of the NEA and have with- Irawn membership. It was at its owest ebb in this state during the >ast year than it has been in 'ears. Wonder how many teachers vill now want to stay in NEA where our voices will be heard”? County Taxes Stay The Same The County Delegation met Sat urday to set the tax levy for New berry County for 1964, and had good-,' news for taxpayers: there will be no increase in taxes this year. Total for county and school pur poses will remain at 58 mills, broken down as follows- For the County, Ordinary ex penses, 7 1 :• mills; bonds and int erest, 7 mills; hospital, one mill, total, 15.50. For schools, ordinary operating- expenses, 55 1 2 ; bonds and inter est, 7 mills, total, 42.50. Present at the meeting when the levy was set were Honorable J. F. j Hawkins, Senator- and I). P.

HE ADVISORS Two weekends ago when I was ; Fort Stewart while the Guard as in training there, I talked ith M-Sgt. L. B. Williams, a ember of the local Guard Advis- •y office, and asked his opinion xmt the summer training. He ihoed the sentiments of all others ith whom I had talked—that it as one of the best yet, and he ■edicted high ratings for the ewberry units. That his predic ts were true will be seen else- here in this issue. Sgt. Williams apparently receiv- 1 a “superior” rating himself mewhere along the line, for bile he was at camp with the uard he received notice that he id been promoted from Master irgeant, E-8 to Sergeant Major, -9. This is the highest rank an ilisted man can reach, and few p er reach it. The local guard is RETURNS FROM FURNITURE MART John B. Lindsay has returned | from the Furniture Mart at High Point where he purchased mer chandise for Maxwell Brothers & j Lindsay. City Council Tuesday night, ouickh approved an expenditure sMS.immi for added sewer and ", a 1*0 services, but was more re- iuetant to approve the hiring of a -•T'etary in th>- utilities office “in tin interest of economy.” City Manager K. \Y. Riebe told Conner that it was becoming em- baia'.'ing- to have people go to the utilities office for a building per mit or on other business and find ; r door locked. It was often nec- es-aiy. he said, to close thu office . ecaii'e the superintendent of :i!;!it b-.-. Hugh Connelly, and the o) ino administrator. Robert Sheaiy. were called out to make in. peetions. and no one el.'-' was a\ a 1 ab 11■ to keep the office open. Mr. Riche pointed out that the clerical work hail greatly increas ed in the utilities office, especially m administration of the zoning or dinance, and that a number of re ports which should he kept for huig i-ance planning are not be ing- kept because of lack of per- 'ornel. Asked whether one of the sec retaries in the city office could shuttle hack and forth between the two jo’ N -, Mr. Riebe said it would be im .-sible without af fecting the qua...y of service now given, and because of the possi bility of error if one person tried to handle two positions. He as- 'ured council that there would be p.enty of work to keep a full-time secretary busy. He also said it was planned in the near future to equip utility trucks with radios so that messages received in the of fice could he relayed to utility men, saving time and affording better service. After some discussion, council unanimously authorized adding the position to the utilities office. City manager told council that several places in the city needed additional water and sewer ser vice, and these additions could be made more economically while the contractors were in Newberry. The sewer additions were on Pike Circle, Harrington and Cal houn, Alexander street and Riv ers street, at a cost of about $22,- 000. Water additions were on Mc Intosh street, Reid, Burton and Baxter street loop, and on area in Mollohon in the vicinity 7 of Glenn, Rivers, Piedmont streets, and Railroad Ave. in the amount of $12,700. Mr. Riebe said the money was available from the most re cent bond issue and after expend iture of the $58,000, about $90,- 000 would he left in the current and previous bond funds. Council gave unanimous consent. During the discussion of the sew er projects, a question arose about the ordinance requiring property owners to use sewer services where available. Mr. Riebe said he had conferred with City Attorney Har ley about this matter and Mr. Hailey' believed the wording of the ordinance was such that a person could not be required to connect to a sewer line unless he a’ready had bathroom fixtures in t house. Council asked the city manager to investigate the mat ter further, and if necessary to have another ordinance drawn “with teeth in it” to require all home-owners to connect to sewers if the\ r are available. Mr. Riebe reported that the S. C. Highway Department had accepted all streets requested by the city to be included in the state maintenance program, and that the streets should he paved next year. He reported that the high way department is working now to nave nine streets which it had previously accepted. Council was advised that the highway department had finally agreed to assist with the drainage problem at the Clarence Clary property. Council authorized the purchase of pipe in the amount of $1080, to be installed by the high way department. Council was advised that a meeting would be held Monday night with property owners on Osborne Ave. to discuss opening that street across the railroad track. The railroad has agreed to give up 10 feet of its right of way for improvement of a little road now running by the tracks. The city fathe?-s authorized the city manager to begin plans for demolition of buildings on prop erty to lx- used for off-street park ing, so ’hat the work may pro ceed as soon as bond funds are received and property owners are paid. Mr. Riebe was authorized to or der flashing signs to he installed near schools if the county delega tion agrees to pay one-third of the cost. The County Board of Education had agreed to pay one- third of tne expense, as had city council. Council voted to join the County Municipal Association, and select ed Councilman Clarence Sheaiy to represent the city on the Associa tion’s executive committee. Councilman E. F. McCutcheon expressed concern about the num ber of false alarms recently and mov-'d to change the code to re quire that any person caught and convicted of turning in a false alarm he fined a minimum of $100. The motion was passed un animously. Mr. Riebe said three or four false alarms had been turned in during a two-week per iod. The city manager told council that, with the year one-half over, the city is in good financial con dition, having about $82,000 on hand this year as opposed to a- bout $42,000 at the same time last year. He noted that about $20,- 000 of the $82,000 was tied up in gross revenue bonds. BUYS MERCHANDISE Mrs. E. A. Carpenter has re turned to Newberry after a trip to New Y r ork where she bought fall and winter merchandise for Carpenters’ store. She was joined in New York by her daughter, Mrs. Ann C.
