6 * -i f 1 PSYCHIATRISTS SAY GIRLS TEND TO MARRY MEN LIKE THEIR FA THERS. NO WE KNOW WHY MOTH ERS CRY AT WEDDINGS. WOMEN’S MINDS ARE CLEANER THAN MEN’S BECAUSE THEY ARE CHANGED MORE OFTEN. VOLUME 28—NUMBER 19 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1965 |2.00 PER YEAR STRAIGHT TALK It rem a in to seen just manager for lOhhy Kennedy ■what President Johnson's “war on poverty” will do for the really poor people of our country. One can only hope that there will he some money left, after the bijt salaries are paid to hundreds of people who are beiny put on the federal payroll to “consult” with each other about how the poverty war shall be conducted. m the New York Senatorial election. Mr. K enneuy paid Mr. Yaden Heu- vej S20.0<H) a year. The war on poverty is payiny him $2f>,000. Then there is Mr. Brendon Sex ton, who left his joli with the United Auto Workers Union. The union paid him §12,500 a year. The war on poverty is payiny him $20),000. One is moved almost to v such tremendous We had not paid much atten- tears tion to the rurnblinys out of fices.

After all, Sary- ent Shriver, the husband of one of the Kennedy yii'ls, had scoffed at suyyestions that the top brass of his poverty outfit were drawiny salaries out-of-line with what the officials are worth. Moreover, Mr. Shriver had said that most of them were makiny what he call ed “tremendous financial sacrifi ces” in order to be of service to their yovernment. But now the evidence is in from the General Aceountiny Of fice about those noble sacrifices to which Mr. Shriver referred If many more such sacrifices are made in this poverty war, there won’t be any money left for the poor people. In the Conyressional Record of July 28, there is a complete run down on 278 consultants hired by Mr. Shriver. The information, as we say. was supplied by the Gen eral Aceountiny Office and in serted in the Conyresional Record by Conyressman Albert H. Quie of Minnesota. It includes the name of each of the consultants, the date of appointment of each, the salaries being paid by the federal government, and the previous em ployment and salary of each of the individuals. It makes interesting reading, all of this. Of the 278, there are indeed about 20 fulltime employ ees who took a cut in income in tain area.” It doesn’t specify what he was director of. In any event, he made $12,500 on his previous job. Now that he is fighting pov erty, the government is paying him S20,h00. One is constrained to observe that the war on poverty, like charity, obviously begins at home for these high-priced re cruits. Let us pick other examples at random. A New York man named Harry Miller used to earn $9,500; the yovernment hired him at $13,- 000. A lady who used to work at the United Nations for $770 a month is drawing $1,100 a month fighting poverty. A former as sistant principal at a junior high school quit that job—which paid him $5,800; he is being paid $11,- 700 as a “consultant” with the poverty program. Two Washington Redskin foot ball players were hired on a full time basis as poverty consultants. The sports pages reveal that these two, Ozzie Clay and Lonnie San ders, are currently in training camps. But they are on the gov ernment payroll at $10,400 per year each. It brings a lump to one’s throat to go down the list and review the sacrifices being made by our countrymen in this time of war on poverty. One may wonder why Two new deputies, bringing the sheriff’s department staff up to eight, was announced this week by Sheriff Tom Fellers. The County Delegation also authorized one more patrol car for the de partment. The new deputies are Marvin Edward Calloway, who has been aen- a member of the Newberry police force for about a year. The other, Barney Means, Negro, has been a truck driver for a number of years. Means’ appointment brings two Negro deputies into service of the county. Sheriff Fellers said he asked the delegation for the additional deputies to give better coverage of Newberry county. He said there has been a need for more person nel for a number of years. Fellers said his aim had always been to “prevent crime before it happens, and good law r enforce ment is a prime factor in prevent- in crime.” order to join the war on poverty, the news media have not seen fit Another 30 receive exactly the same salaries as they were paid in their previous jobs. For the rest however, the war is a bon anza. Let us pick out a few interest- to report on all of this. In a way, we’re glad we haven’t. We can’t help wondering what would be the reaction of those Americans stationed round the world in Viet nam, fighting another kind of war. W ho could blame them if thev ing examples. There is a Mr. Wil liam Vanden Heuvel, who served j were just a bit resentful? last year as deputy campaign Shakespeare sets open house date Announcement was made this week by Hilton Parsons, manager of S-P Corporation, of an open house to be held at the new plant on September 8. The plant, a division of Colum bia Products Corporation, Shake speare subsidiary, has been in operation on the Clinton Highway about two weeks. Mr. Parsons said that many people had expressed a desire to tour the plant and see the opera tion. “This is not possible during regular hours,” the manager said. However, a cordial invitation is extended to visitors for the open house period. Cancer effort raises $4,487.54 Mis. Joyce Ringer, chairman of the Newbe ry County unit of the American Cancer Society, an nounced this week that the drive this year brought in $4,487.54 in Newberry County. Breakdown of the donations, less than last year, was as fol lows: Firm gifts $316.50; house- to-house $3,510.64; cannisters $28.- 68; memorials $29.02; Negro do nations $581, and other sources $47.35. $3.5 Oakland expansion underway 82 pints collected by bloodmobile Eighty-tw T o pints of blood were collected w T hen the Red Cross Bloodmobile visited Newberry on Monday of this week. Gerald Tay lor, chairman of the blood pro gram, said that 106 donors pre sented themselves to give blood, but 24 were turned away. Taylor pointed out that it is possible for a healthy person to give blood every eight weeks. He said this was the first of seven XUYN visits for the year, and that the Saturday m Baptist hospital quota was 750 pints, making a little over 100 pints needed for each visit. Last year the county only collected 59 percent of its quota. The Monday visit was sponsor ed by the btewberry Lions Club. Another visit is scheduled for Oc tober. 1400-ton air conditioning unit now being used in spinning area Four thousand gallons of water a minute cascade down in side this cooling tower at Oak land plant.

PRAYER FOR TODAY Father, grant that the fire of Thy love may burn up in us all things that displeases Thee and consume all things unworthy of Thy people. Purify and cleanse us. Temper and mold us into the creation for which we are destined. And use us as instru ments of Thine. Through Jesus Christ we pray. Amen. U. S. sponsors curlers’ course The federal government Tues day disclosed a hair curling story. The Labor Department told Sens. Thomas J. Dodd, D-Conn. and Sen. Abraham A. Ribicoff, D-Conn., it will spend $257,824 to turn ordinary corner barbers into “hair stylists.” The department said an agree ment had been reached under the Manpower Development and Train ing Act with the Journeymen Bar bers Union to teach 3,030 barbers in 26 cities the finer arts of cut ting hear. Thirty of the barbers will be sent to the union barber school in Indianapolis next month for an advanced course in “hair styling.” In turn the barbers will teach barbers in Birmingham, Ala.; Phoenix, Ariz.; Los Angeles; San Francisco, Denver; Hartford, Conn.; Washington, D. C.; Miami, Fla.; Chicago; Indianapolis; New Orleans; Baltimore; Detroit;' St. Louis; New York City; Cleveland; Tulsa; Portland, Ore.; Philadel phia; Pittsburgh; Providence, R.

We are constantly looking for new and better ways to serve our cus tomers with dependable power at the lowest posible cost. The 6000kw portable unit will be used primarily as a temporary source of power to maintain ser vice during construction or repair of power lines and other electri cal equipment. The mobile plant consists of a 40x8 foot, 60,000 pound machinery trailer which supports an 8,500 horsepower modified jet aircraft engine, and a 30 foot, 34,500 pound control and switch-gear trailer which houses the control panel, 5 Kv switch-gear, current and potential transformers, and other miscellaneous equipment.

Designed for manual pushbut ton starting from the control panel, the unit will utilize No. 2 fuel oil. A tank truck will ' be positioned alongside the portable plant to feed, the 250 gallon tank mounted on the machinery trailer. The new gas turbine plant is the fifth to be utilized by SCEG since 1961 when the company in stalled the nation's first two gas turbine package power plants, each with a capacity of 11,150 kil owatts. Two identical units were added to the system in 1963. The newest gas turbine, unlike the other four units, can be trans ported without dismanteling pro cedure. noon meeting of Laurens Rotary Club by Philip T. Kelly Jr., dir ector of alumni affairs at New berry college. Kelly is a member of the Newberry Rotary club. “Newberry College, one of 11 private and denominational schools in the state, has a fall enrollment exceeding 800,” Kelly said. “And the College is owned, controlled and supported by the South Caro lina, Southeastern and Florida Synods of the Lutheran Church in America.” He noted four changes which Newberry College, along with other colleges, must face: (1) larger enrollment, (2) rise in av erage age of students, (3) addi tional married students, and (4) a trend toward more students from lower-middle and lower in come groups. “Against this force of change, what chance has Am erican higher education to stand strong, to maintain standards to improve quality to keep sight of the individual student? Kelly asked “Newberry College will con tinue to meet these changes by stressing the development of the mind the character the body and the spiritual awareness of the student,” he said. “Independent colleges are particularly well- qualified to meet the needs of in dividual students. Being relatively small, personal relationships may be maintained between president, faculty and individual students.” Kelly emphasized that “stud ents leaving the security of the home and the direction of parents —moving into an environment in which they are free to act, are in need of personal guidance and di rection as they move toward self- mastery.” Boosters Club prepares steaks The Newberry High school foot ball team will be entertained at a steak supper at the Lions club on Lake Murray tonight at 7:30. This is an annual affair sponsored by the High School Boosters club. Booster Club President Charles Vernon said today that the annual membership drive is now under way and he urges all former mem bers to renew memberships, and invites new members to join in the club’s activities. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Detreville are making their home at 1606 1-2 Harrington street. The three and one-half million dollar expansion and improvement announced last year at the Oak land plant of the Kendall Company is well on the way to completion. Chief among the expenditures is one-half million dollars for an air conditioning system for the mill. This system is now in operation. Several additions to the mill structure were necessary for the installation of the air conditioning. Two 40x60 foot tower^ on the front of the mill, four stories high, house the equipment for cooling and humidifying the mill. The refrigeration unit is rated at 1415 tons. In BTU rating this is a total of nearly 17 million cooling units per hour. This permits an air change in the spinning room of once everythree and one-half minutes. The spinning room has an area of 75,000 square feet. At present the weave room will not be cooled, but humidity will be added to the air from the same «nit with the air being changed tivery six minutes. L. Hart Jordan, plant manager, said the mill’s power bill has been running at $4,000 a week, and since the addition of the air con ditioning, the bill is up by $700 per week. . Everything is big about the cooling system which was espec ially desiged for the plant by the Bahn^on Company of Winston- Salem, N. C. and the Carrier Cor poration. Evaporation rate in the cooling towers is 57,000 gallons a day. To drive the compressor, a huge 1200 horspower motor is used. There are two “washer” rooms on each floor where the air id cleaned, cooled, 1 and moisture added, and then sent out into the production area by ducts. Return ducts are located in the floor to cfc-ry the air back to the washer rooms. About ten percent outside air is mixed with the recirculated air going to production areas. Robert G. Moore is resident en gineer of the work going on at Oakland. He has supervised the work since it began Dec, 20, 1964. Yeargin Construction Co. is con tractor for the structural work, and Bahnson for the air condi tioning. Manager Jordan said when work is completed late this year, Oak land will be as modern and effi cient as a multi-story mill can be made. He noted that in the 1950 expansion a humiduct system was installed in the mill which was. the very latest in humidifying at that time, has been scrapped in fa vor of the air-wash and cooling mechanism. New equipment has been in stalled in picking, carding, draw ing, slubbing departments. The spinning room has been moderniz ed and new flourescent lighting has been installed. The air condi tion is in operation in both card ing and spinning sections. All this has been accomplished without interrupting production. Other additions include a beam conveyor tower from the fourth floor to the second floor on the back side of the mill. Also added to the back side are canteen areas and offices for supervisors. At the end of the building, adjacent to the parking lot, an elevator has been installed. Mr. Jordan attributed the one- price cotton legislation as a con tributing factor in making the modernization possible. Oakland consumes about 20,000 bales of cotton per year, which is converted into industrial fabrics for the auto, shoe and clothing in dustry. Diaper production to the tune of 39,000,000 million a year, are produced on 828 of the Oak land looms. Mr. Jordan said Oak land is the largest diaper producer in the world, enough to diaper one million babies. An open house is planned for the public upon completion of the modernization program. Traffic deaths pass ’64 levels A note of warning to all motor ists was sounded by the State Highway Department in a report for the first seven months of 1965 revealing that total traffic deahts surpassed the 1964 figures for the first-time. There have been 455 persons killed on the state’s streets and highways already, with nearly five months remaining in the year. Figures for the same pei’iod of 1964 showed that 452 persons were killed. This represents an in crease of three deaths. The vacation travel months of May, June and July have proved costly to motorists this year. In May there was an increase of 11 fatalities, from 54 to 65. In June fatalities moved up to 89, eight more than in June 1964; in July there were 69 fatalities, compared to 56 in 1964. July deaths were u^ 25 per cent. Monthly figures show that only in the months of January and March were 1965 fatalities below the 1964 levels. In February, Apr il, May, June and July, fatalities increased. During the brief period of May 5 through June 11 there were 4,- 919 motor vehicle accidents re ported to the State Highway De partment, resulting in an econo mic loss of $4,300,000. There was an average loss of r5,900 each hour during June. Lexington county, with one five- death accident, was hardest hit by fatal accidents during June with a total of 10 fatilities. Greenville had 9 and Horry 7.
