Club reviews
park bistory
The Newberry Garden Club held
its May meeting at the Roadside
Park with Mrs. Richard L. Baker
and Mrs. Sydney Carter as hos
tesses. Mrs. J. E. Wiseman, Sr.
opened the meeting with the club
collect.
Mrs. Seth Meek gave an inter
esting account of the history of
the Roadside Park. She said that
the projects committee, which
consisted of Mrs. Clem Youmans,
Mrs. R. R. Bruner and Mrs. O. M.
Cobb, saw the spot and thought
it would be a good location for a
park. In May 1951 the club was
given permission by the Newberry
County Park Commission to beau
tify this area and the land was
deeded for this purpose by Alan
Johnstone. Work began on May
12, 1961 with cooperation from
everyone. Mrs. Meek said that
many people in town donated sup
plies, labor and money and the
plans were drawn by Fulmer
Wells. In 1952 the Garden Club
won a $50 state award, and again
in 1958 for the maintenance of the
park. Mrs. Meek showed pictures
taken over the years of the park.
During the business session,
Mrs. Meek reported that in March
Mrs. Sydney Carter and Mrs. J.
E. Wiseman, Jr. met with the
Newberry Junior Garden club. In
April, Mrs. Dave Sokevitz, Mrs.
R. L. Baker and Mrs. Eugene Grif
fith had an Easter party for the
Junior Club, and Mrs. Steve Grif
fith and Mrs. David Summer will
visit them in May.
Mrs. Price Padgett distributed
the flower show schedule and this
was discussed
The door prize was won by Mrs.
Padgett.

Academy exams
are scheduled
Congressman W. J. B. Dorn an
nounced the preliminary Civil Ser
vice examination for admission
July 1966 to the United States
Military Academy at West Point;
United States Naval Academy and
for the United States Air Force
Academy.
The Civil Service Commission
will hold the examination in An
derson and Greenwood on July 12
and on August 9 and September
13 for those unable to take the
test on July 12. Any young man
from the age of 17 thru 21 on the
first day of July 1966 may stand
this Civil Service test. Dorn urged
those who plan to stand the exam
ination or those who seek further
information to notify him as soon
as possible at 2256 Rayburn Of
fice building, Washington, D. C.
Congressman Dorn said, “No
greater opportunity is open to a
young man in the United States
than to attend our world famous
National service academies. Our
country will be faced with emer
gencies and international crisis
for the next generation and no one
will be better prepared to meet
these problems than graduates of
West Point, Annapolis, and the
Air Force Academy.”
Six weeks left
for licenses
South Carolinians who have not
renewed their driver licenses are
urged by the State Highway de
partment to obtain renewals at
local department offices before
long waiting lines begin to form.
Drivers are reminded they must
have the 1965-69 licenses in their
possession by July 1 or face re
examination before again being
permitted to opeiate motor vehi
cles.. Highway Department licen
sing offices are serving only a
few applicants now, officials said,
and can give renewal service with
in a few minutes. However, with
only about six weeks remaining
i beore the deadline, long waiting
lines are expected to form soon.
Department officials again cau
tioned drivers against ordering
licenses by mail, pointing out that
the delay in delivery by this meth
od could prevent them from re
ceiving the new licenses before
July 1st.
Fees for license renewal are 50c
for paper and $1 for metal licen
ses. Drivers desiring metal licenses
must appear in person at High
way Department offices to sign
the forms from which the metal
tags are produced. Those wanting
paper licenses may obtain them
by bringing or sending completed
application forms and their cur
rent drivers licenses to a Depart
ment licensing office.
