I think it is won derful that your newspaper feat ured, to the extent tney dia, one of the very important agricultural products not only of Newberry county and the State of South Carolina but the entire Southeast ern section of the United States. The complete coverage which you gave the subject of eggs indicates very thorough understanding of the egg industry for which you are to be commended. The fact that the city and coun ty governments, in conjunction with the majority of industry and businesses in the county, appre ciate by their supporting ads in the papers indicates to me that you have done a very thorough job of informing your county the im portance and the possibilities of the poultry industry. Again I commend you for this tremendous effort for a great in dustry at Newberry and the state of South Carolina. Sincerely, DOUGLAS HAMM, Leader, Poultry Science Extension Work. Clemson University College chapel to be named for Dr. Wiles A $750,000 chapel to be con structed on the Newberry college campus will be named the A. G. D. Wiles Chapel in honor of the pres- | ident of the college. Announcement of the decision of the Board of Trustees to name the chapel for Dr. Wiles was made at a meeting here this week which initiated a drive to raise additional funds for the structure. Some 45 Newberry business men and women pledged support to the project. Dr. Wiles has headed Newberry college for the past five years, during which time the faculty has been strengthened; the student body has been enlarged and im proved in quality through substan tial upgrading of entrance require ments; a new classroom building has been erected to facilitate more effective academic work; and fin ancial resources of the college have been strengthened through a capital funds campaign with a consequent acceleration in volun tary giving. The chapel will be located to the north of Smeltzer Hall across the slope extending over Bachman street. The nave, including the choir area and gallery, is to seat 1200 persons. A theater to seat 300 persons is planned on the ground floor level under the north end of the struc ture. A mezzanine floor around the theatre will provide a rehear sal room and two robing rooms for the Newberry College Singers, chaplain’s study, lounge, a radio room with equipment to broad cast or to transcribe musical pro grams and other special events, and a moving picture projector booth. The facade will feature faceted glass; and the brick design of the building will harmonize with the Classroom building, Wessels library, and Cromer Hall, and as far as possible with antebellum Smeltzer Hall. The architecture is modified modern to blend with Smeltzer Hall. When the chapel was originally planned five years ago, the cost was estimated at $500,000, and this money was raised in the col lege’s 1962 building and endow ment campaign. With the rise in building costs and addition of the, theatre to the chapel, the cost was increased $250,000. The Board of Trustees, in a meeting last December, voted to proceed with plans for the chapel and named John F. Clarkson, of Newberry, chairman of a drive to raise the additional funds. The campaign will be taken to major cities in South Carolina and the surrounding area. The chapel offers opportunities for memorial gifts through which the name of the donor, or of a person he chooses to honor, may be associated permanently with Newberry College in this building. An appropriate plaque in the nar- thex will identify all memorial gifts. Contributors who give $1,000 or more to the theatre will be designated “Patrons of the New berry College Theatre;” and a plaque in the lobby of the theatre will identify such benefactors. Patrons may also designate, in their gift, other persons to be honored or memorialized. “When you have both feet on the ground, you don’t have far to fall.” NEWBERRY HIGH SCHOOL Pt* CAMPUS COMMENTS ^ IIP itai... By Gail Phillips and Barry Shealy Bill would alter tax assessments Necessary tools to re-assess and re-evaluate real estate in Newber ry county on a continuing basis were provided Tuesday in two companion bills introduced by Rep. Paul Folk of Newberry. Folk said the program was aimed at correcting “too many inequities” in the present tax structure, and not to raise or lower taxes. Real estate is currently assessed Folk said, at 10 per cent of its valuation as determined by the township board of assessors. The measure introduced by Folk as delegation legislation would create an office of tax assessor and delinquent tax collector, and a board of tax review and appeals. Duties of the tax assessor and delinquent tax collector would be to find and put on the tax books real property not previously re turned by owners or their agents, or not listed for tax purposes by the county auditor. He also would make a prelimi nary assessment of the value of all real property in the county and enter it upon the returns and lists provided by the auditor. From time to time he would re-assess taxable property in the county “to reflect its proper valu ation in the light of changed con ditions and to equalize insofar as is possible all properties within the county.” All assessments and reassesss- ments made by the assessors would be subject to the review and re vision by the County Board of Tax Appeals, which would be nominated for appointment by the County Legislative delegation. The board would review any ac tions or acts of the tax assessor and delinquent tax collectors when asked to do so by the taxpayer. The board would have authority to confirm or modify any decision of the assessor. Board decisions in turn could be appealed to the S. C. Tax Commission. Powers and duties of the cur rent county board of equalization would be evolved in the new setup on the board of review and appeals and the former agency abolished. Powers and duties of the town ship board of assessors as they relate to assessment and valuation would be conferred on the tax assessor and delinquent tax col lector. The new assessors would use the guide and training personnel provided by the State Tax Com mission. He would be able to em ploy such personnel to assist him as deemed necessary, subject to approval of a majority of the legislative delegation. The tax assessors and delin quent tax collector would serve a four-year term beginning July 1, 1965. His salary would be provid ed in the annual county appropria tions act. The Board of Review and Ap peals, recommended by the dele gation and appointed by the gov ernor, would be formed by a mem ber from each township. Another bill also was introduced Tuesday calling for a referendum on a constitutional amendment to raise the county’s bond debt limit from eight to 15 per cent of the assessed valuation. The referendum would be stag ed at the next general election. ARE OVERSEAS Mr. and Mrs. Guy V. Whitener Mrs. Kathryn Dwyer and Mr. and Mrs. O. H.

Jaycees sponsor project Concern The Newberry Junior Chamber of Commerce has adopted, along with the South Carolina Jaycees and the United States Junior Chamber, an International Serv ice Project which is being called “Project Concern.” Purpose of this project is to provide some much needed medical supplies for use at an overseas clinic. Recipi ent of these supplies will be Dr. Paul Turpin, a medical missionary in Hong Kong, China. Dr. Turpin ministers to thousands of the teeming masses of Hong Kong and particularly to refugees escaping across the border from Commun ist China. There are never enough supplies to meet the needs of all the patients at this ciinic. In order to collect supplies for D*'. Turpin, the Newberry Jaycees will contact all local physicians and druggists and ask them to contribute samples of medicine which they receive but do not use. A list of needed supplies will be provided and any contributions will be picked up on a designated date. It is expected that this pro ject will receive enthusiastic sup port from the medical profession in Newberry. President Robert Coats has appointed the Rev. Bob Addy as local Chairman for “Pro ject Concern.” AT BACHMEN-CHAPEL Lenten Eervices in Holy Week will be held at Bachman Chapel Lutheran church, Route 3, Pros perity on Thursday and Friday nights of this week at 7:30.

Members of the church, friends and visitors are invited to wor ship with the congregation in these services of rededication and It has been said that a word to the wise is sufficient. If that be the case, the “wise” had better not mention Pride and Prejudice to any of the seniors of Newberry High school for a while. Yes, the big test was finally given Mon day, April 12. It’s hard to realize that in ap proximately six weeks, graduation exercises will be held and those who are now senior students of NHS will then be alumni of NHS.

The concert was part of an art and lecture series .Gail Phillips sang two solos which won t he scholarship for her two weeks ago. Miss Lorraine Paris is getting along nicely now.
