PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, fW Know your Teachers h z&n "Mf- Sr' m p:. t Several years ago, a very spec ial kina of school class vas begun in Newberry. With the realization that some children were simply not able to keep up with regular elaasroom work, and trying to force them to do so was detrimen tal to these children, the County Board of Education authorized the beginning of a Special Education ^lo«« Its first—and for several years, only—teacher was Mrs. Both S. Pugh. Those who have an opportunity to visit and observe special education classes have the greatest admiration for tfri« county’s original special edu cation teacher, as well as the ones who followed. At the beginning, many parents rejected the idea that their child ren should be placed in this spec ial class and enrollment was very small—only 10 o’* 11 students. The idea grained in acceptance as par ents realized this procedure was for the benefit of the children, nnA now the number of students has tripled, as well as the num ber of teachers. Housed originally at the old West End sshool building, the »1 education classes moved to lary when the new building completed. There they have been happily occupied since as the children learn academic sub jects to the level of their ability, as well as some vocational skills. Mrs. Pugh is a native of Pros perity and still lives there . She fa the daughter of Mrs. Cora B. Stockman and the late J. B. Stockman. Her husband was the late Robert W. Pugh and they were parents of five children: Betty, 36; Cora, 34; Robert, Jr., 32; James W., 23 and Lynda, 21. Mrs. Pugh is a Bachelor of Arts graduate of Columbia College and attended the University of South Carolina for certification in Spec ial Education. She has also at tended a workshop, “Psychology of the Mentally Retarded” at the University. She is a member of Wightman Methodist church, the Eastern Star, Literary Sorosis, Crape Myr tle Garden club, local and state sdncatioi. associations, and the State association’s Council for Exceptional Children. SENATOR STRO HURMOND Reports PEOPLE The second special education teacher to be employed by the Newberry School district is Mrs. Mary Nell H. Eargle, whose train ing for this work was received from the University of South Car olina and Columbia college. Mrs. Eargle holds the Bachelor of Sci ence degree from Winthrop college and is certified to teach elemen tary education as well as special education classes. Her enthusiasm for this work is shown in the ac complishments of students in her class. Mrs. Eargle was born in New berry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walton B. Halfacre, of 1903 Johnstone street. She lives at 1131 Summer street with her husband, John C. Eargle, a lineman for the City of Newberry, and their child ren, Johnna Maria, age 10 and John Cecil, Jr., age 8.

JOHN COUNTS, JR. Administrator Jan. 14, 1965. l-18-3t Education and Tax Sources THE 89TH CONGRESS has been asked by President John son to approve a massive pro gram of general federal aid to education. THERE IS little question about the importance of educa tion. It is vital to our people for many reasons, foremost among these being the paramount re sponsibility of self-government Great strides have been made in the individual States to increase the quality of public education. In fact, public education spend ing by the States has 4 in the past 12 years. LONG AGO our Pounding Fathers determined that the task of public education must be a responsibility of local govern ment. They realized that educa tion controlled by a central gov ernment could be used, as could a centralized police power, to iestroy local self-government and individual liberty in the in terest of establishing a mon archy or dictatorship. ALSO, the Founding Fathers recognized that more and better education could be obtained for the dollar if administered by a local school board. Thus, the field of education was never dele gated to the Federal Govern ment under the Constitution, but rather was reserved to the States. In fact, the word “education” is not to be found in the Constitu tion. Because of this clear lack of constitutional authority, sup porters of general federal aid to education have in the past proposed only indirect or limited programs for the purpose of get ting the “camel’s nose under the tent.” Even the national defense clause in the Constitution has been used in an effort to pervert the intent of the Constitution rather than seeking te am"nd the Constitution. FOR THE FISCAL year be ginning July l. 1965. the Presi dent has requested authority to spend approximately M* as much as is now being sptn- for educa tion by all the States. This money will go to public, private, and church-supported schools at all levels, beginning with kinder garten and extending through •olleg 1 r* '«!t-graduate work Fach year r '*deral spending will go higher until total control and responsibility rests in Washing ton with federal bureaucrats spelling out the contents af text books and curricula and control ling teacher pay and standards THE RECENT orders enforc ing the fund withholding pro visions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 provide all the proof necessary on the ele ment of control which lurks be hind all federal aid dollars. THERE IS a good alternative for all federal aid to public education, and I have introduced legislation to make this alterna tive possible. Thv. President is suggesting the elimination of some federal excise taxes. I have thus proposed that the Federal Government withdraw its excise taxes on alcoholic beverages and tobacco products so the States can have the full benefit of these tax sources. In 1963, the Federal Government collected approxi- mately $6 billior in taxes on al cohol and tobacco. All States now tax alcohol and tobacco, but they are limited in their rev enues here as elsewhere by the intrusion of the Federal Govern ment. IN FACT, pre-emption of tax sources by the Federal Govern ment is one of th^ primary rea sons for the gradual erosion of State and local powers of gov ernment and the shift of more and more authority to Washing ton IF THE PRESIDENT truly >‘ ;oncemed about promoting mor- progress in education and States responsibilities—as well as pre serving States Rights and ou< federal system of divided pow ers—then he should support the proposal to keep tax dollars a* home so progress for the peoph can he promoted at the appro priate level ot government FL could also hack a proposal 1 ar* co-sponsoring tt provide a tax credit for taxpayers who spen- money to pay education expense' of students THE ONLY feature lacking tr these two proposals is the ele ment of control— which in hi‘ ’dueation message, the Preside professes not to desire.

The dependent must (1) have received less than $600 gross in come; (2) have received more than half of his support from the taxpayer; (3) not have filed a joint return with wife or hus band; (4) be a citizen or resident of the United States, or a resi dent of Canada, Mexico, The Re public of Panama, or the Canal Zone, and (5) either have been a member of the taxpayer’s house hold for the entire taxable year, or be closely related to the tax payer. When several people together contribute more than half of the support of a dependent, but no one furnished more than half, then one of the people may claim the exemption for this dependent on his 1964 tax return. Each of the contributors must have been eligible to claim the dependent except for not having, individually, provided more than half the support. They may agree to let any one of them who con tributed more than 10 per cent claim the $600 dependency de duction. Each member of the group who contributed over 10 per cent of the support, except the person claiming the exemption, must furnish a written statement that he will not claim the individual as a dependent on his own tax re turn. Internal Revenue Form 2120 may be used for this - purpose. These statements must be attach ed to the return filed by the per son listing the exemption. world news in f; : f®cus The Christian Science Monitor One Norway St., Boston, Moss. 02115 Please enter my subscription to the Monitor for the period checked be low. 1 enclose $ (U.S. Funds) □ 1 YEAR $24 □ 6 month* $12 □ 3 months $6 Nom»_. .
