What he meant, of course, was that he liked to see people in town shoppr If he like a lovesick pup and wouldn’t were behind the wheel instead of in his store, I don’t believe he would be so much in favor of the congestion. As for me, and many other people I know, if there were a shopping center on the by-pass where I could buy groceries, pick up a prescription, buy clothes for the childrer etc. without having to struggle with traffic trying to get through two or three con gested blocks on Main street to find a parking place, I would go to the shopping center without hesitation. I dislike seeing empty stores on Main street, but even more I dislike the attitude of the merchants who don’t seem to care how much they inconvenience their customers, as long as they ; can drag them in the stores.

The gills decided she had fallen in love with a collie while there, but Frasier came up with what seemed tin 1 correct answer. While she was at the kennel, she was treated like a dog—she found out that she is a dog-type, not a peo ple-type. It took a while for her to get over the shock, but after a week or so back home with the girls, she has recovered—to the extent that she now think* she is a “people-type’’ again. Except, of course, when another dog comes along. Lightning hits WON’T BE LONG It won’t be long until the fur begins to fly in the presidential campaign. I know that Barry Goldwater is perfectly capable of writing his own speeches, but he couldn’t do a much better job than Hubert Humphrey did for him in his acceptance speech at the Democratic Convention. In listing all those things which he claimed “most Americans”, or most Senators, etc favored, “but not Senator Goldwater,” he listed the reasons that we are for Barry Goldwater. Humphrey’s “Most Senators . . but not Goldwater . . .” reminded me of something said not too long ago by a person who is a prominent Democrat. I won’t mention his name because I am not trying to tie him to the Republican cause, but his state ment was to the effect that “I was struck by lightning about 4:”0 Monday afternoon as he stood in the doorway of his trailer home By MRS.

Mrs. Nobles is em ployed in Saluda. Council approves bond law; authorizesilcity engineer Newberry High attended by Negro child Annie Laurie Stephens entered Newberry High School Tuesday morning, becoming the first Ne gro to attend white schools in the county. There were no specta tors on hand as the ninth grader arrived at the school. She was ac companied by her mother, Mrs. Ge- lestine Stephens of 300 Drayto; Street and two Negro men. According to J. V. Kneece, there were no incidents Tuesday or Wednesday morning, and he ex pects none. Annie Laurie’s admission to Newberry High followed an an nouncement by the Newberry County Board of Education is sued Monday. The brief statement said “We had had four applica tions of transfer from Gallman High to Newberry High. After much study and many conferences, the board has rejected three of the applications. One has been ap proved for further processing and transfer to Newberry High in ac cordance with the policy of the board on transfer of students.” Annie Laurie completed the eighth grade at Drayton Street Elementary School, where she stood high in her class. Students at the high school were advised Monday that the Negro student would attend classes Tuesday. Bids sought for new post office Bids for the new postoffice for Newberry will be solicited by ad vertisement on September 8, ac cording to information received by The Sun from Senator Strom Thurmond and Congressman W. J. Bryan Dorn. The bids will be opened at 2 p.m. at the Federal Annex building in Atlanta Oct ober 9. The new postoffice will be lo cated at the northwest corner of College and Jenkins streets, be tween Smith Motor Co and Mar ion Davis park. Interior of the building will be 6,956 square feet, with 907 square foot platform. Space provided for parking will be 19,319 square feet. The successful bidder will be given a 25-year lease with six five-year renewals. Facilities at the existing post- office have been so crowded in recent years that it has been necessary to lease additional space to handle postal work. Space now occupied for these ad ditional facilities is in the Boozer building, which has been purchas ed by the City of Newberry. It will eventually be razed and the entire block on which it is locat ed will be converted to an off- street parking lot. In pas-brig an ordinance author-! u ng the issuance by the City of j W\vbcrrv $200,000 revenue bonds, 7 | Council Tuesday night paved the I way for purchase and demolition of properties in areas selected by council for off-street parking. At the same meeting, it accept- | ed the b d of Grady B. Hydrick of | Columbia to demolish the Reese i building and the Baker house. | Hydrick will pay $850 for mater- j iaL in the buildings. Demolition j is to be completed within 30 days after work begins. Demolition of the Reese building will provide a haif idock for off-street parking opposite the postoffice. Council also accepted the bid ! of A. W. Murray to buy the Mrs. J. \V. White house on Caldwell | street for $150. Mr. Murray will be responsible for demolishing the building and clearing the lot. The entire block on which the White home is located will eventually be come parking area. Contracts have not yet been let for demolition of other buildings in the block. The revenue bonds will be paid entirely by parking meter revenue, derived from all existing meters and those which will be installed in the new parking areas. The bonds will be repaid over a 30- year period, but may be recalled after seven years. The average interest rate for the bonds will be 4.10 per cent. A new position was added to the city employment roster with council approving the hiring of j a city engineer. City Manager Ken i Riebe said that both time and money would be saved by having such a person on the job full time. The city has had to rely on out-of-town engineers even for small jobs and, according to Mr. Riebe, it is very difficult to get a firm to come in to make surveys on small jobs. He pointed out that larger projects, such as the water and sewer extensions now under way throughout, the city, would still require the services of a larger firm. The city engineer will be in charge of all surveying, for keeping city utilities and street maps up to date, drawing plans and making estimates for smaller jobs, such as paving, checking when paving is done to be sure materials used meet spec ifications, negotiate for construc tion of jobs and be responsible to see they are properly completed. He will also be in charge of the demolition, paving and installing of parking meters in the new off-street areas. Council gave the city manager permission to tear down the old power house chimney which, Mr. Riebe said, posed a menace. On request of the Newberry County Water Authoiity, council authorized sale of water by the city to the Water Authority at a flat rate of 13c per 1000 gallons, provided that the County Water Authority not retail water to residences within the county at a cheaper rate than Newberry sells to city residents; and pro vided further that the city would continue to sell water to the Au thor’’ y until such rime that it would appear the supply for use of Newberry residents would be endangered. The city would sell only to the Authority, not to in dividual customers. The Authority would he responsible for running pipelines to the desired territory, and for ail maintenance of lines and distribution of water. The city’s only responsibility would be to install and maintain a meter. Mr. and Mrs. Ollie Moye and family have moved to 123’. Wal nut street in the Vigodsky home which they recently purchased. Mrs. C. A. Reeder surveys damage done to her car by a torna do last Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Reeder was returning from Ja< x- sonville, Fla. where she had visited Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Davis and family. En route home, between Augusta and Johnston, she ran into a downpour of rain. “The storm cloud—a tornado—moved down onto the road right in front of me,” Mrs, Reeder said, “and it seems as though it stayed there for an eternity. I was never so scared in my life, but I kept going because I couldn’t see the side of the road to pull off, and I kept praying the whole time.” Damage done by the storm is shown where the paint was com pletely ripped from a number of spots on front of the car. Mrs. Reeder ran info the storm at about 5:15 Saturday afternoon. “I went to work Sunday to keep from thinking about it,” she said, “but I was still shaking.” Monday she reported that she was feeling better, “but I’m still not completely over the scare” she said.

Five-year-old Benji Leavell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Leavell, was critically injured when at tacked by a large dog at the home of a neighbor Tuesday afternoon about four o’clock. The Leavells live on the Whitmire highway. Benji was severely bitten about the face and neck, with his scalp almost torn off. He spent two hours in the operating room where doctors worked in an effort to re pair the damage. Blood and glu cose were required to sustain the lad’s strength during the opera tion. According to Harold Leavell, uncle of the victim, Benji had been playing in the yard and went to the yard of a neighbor close by to get his own small dog. The large dog, said to belong to neighbors several hundred yards distant, jumped on Benji and be gan biting him. Charlie Humph ries, in whose yard the incident occurred, saw what was happen ing but -was unable to help be cause of being cripple. He called his maid who was able to finally get the dog away from Benji. Benji’s condition seemed to be a little better Wednesday morn ing, and Mr. Leavell said doctors gave a 50-50 chance that the feat ures of his head would return to normal. Mr. Leavell also said that the large dog had been getting loose recently and this fact had been reported to county authorities.
