Miss Estellene P Walker, dir ector, said the scholarships would go to “qualified young people who have chosen a library career and who have a special interest in public library service.” The scholarships are awarded under a State Library Board pro gram designed to extend and im prove library service in South Carolina by enabling qualified young people to obtain profess ional library training. Scholarship recipients must be graduates of a four year college or university of recognized stand ing, acceptable to a graduate lib rary school, and must have spec ial interest in library service as demonstrated by at least three months paid employment in a public library. Recipients agree to spend at least two years following grad uation from their library school working in a South Carolina pub lic library. The library will guar antee a salary of not less than $5,040.00 for the first year after graduation with an increase of $5,292.00 during the second year. Applications and requests for information should be sent to the State Library Board, 1001 Main Street, Columbia, S. C. by Jan uary 1, 1966. Local player has big year with Indians Bob Carlton, who finished his junior football season on Thanks giving Day, was the leading pass receiver for the Newberry Col lege Indians. This was Carlton’s first full season at Newberry af ter transferring from the Uni versity of Georgia. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Carlton, 1907 Nance street, Newberry. Carlton proved to be a rough competitor for the season. He played consistently on both of fense and defense. Although he led the team in pass receiving, his great worth was in an outstand ing defensive end. He was one of the main cogs in Newberry’s de fensive line that terrorized oppos ing backs. Carlton was among the top in both individual tackles and assists for the Indians, who closed the season by upsetting arch - rival Presbyterian College 6-0. He played perhaps his best game of the season in the win, forcing the losers to keep their offense away from the sidelines. He led the team in pass recep tions with 16 catches for 214 yards, an average of 13 yards per catch. He also was a devastating blocker on offense. He demonstrat ed his versatility returning several kick=uffs for good gains. The Newberry College Arts and Lecture Series will present Dr. C.

Write legibly says postmaster One of the biggest problems postal employees face is illegible handwriting. At Christmastime, when mail volumes skyrocket, this can become a major problem, Postmaster Moose said today. “The use of ZIP codes by mail* ers does help speed up the pro cess because often if the city and state are unreadable the ZIP code will diiect the mail to the post office from which it will be de- ! livered. Clerks in that post office, being more familiar with local residents, may be able to figure out the person to whom the mail should be delivered.” Another significant problem is the number of parcels delayed or actually undelivered because of poor wrapping or packing. Post master Moose urged that special care be taken to see that each package is tightly stuffed and ' that nothing rattles around inside. Parcels are generally shipped in bags and often heavier items rest on top of smaller, lighter pack ages. The postmaster encouraged mailers to be a bit cautious and insure all packages. All parcels should be addressed on only one side and should have theaddress written somewhere on the inside of the package in case the exterior wrapping should come off. It is a good idea also to en close a list of the contents. Poor packaging and illegible or incorrect addressing accounts for about half a million undelivered parcels each year. “Last year, ZIP codes were a great help in speeding mail deliv ery. In fact, they were largely re sponsible for the outstanding rec ord of On-time delivery chalked up across the nation during the Christmas rush,” he said. “At this time of year, we es pecially need your help by mailing early and using the five-number codes. One of the best ways to avoid unworkable peaks in mail volume is for people to mail often, not save all their mail for one big mailing.” Graduate of Kings college Dixie Livingston Waldrop, dau ghter of Mr. and Mrs. Preston S. Livingston, Route 4, Newberry, was awarded a diploma in Junior Accounting at the recent 65th annual commencement of King’s College at Charlotte.

Gifts sought for hospital patients The Mental Health Association is sponsoring “Operation Santa Claus” to provide Christmas gifts for patients in the South Carolina state hospitals. Mrs. Walter Summer, local chairman of “Operation Santa Claus”, asks those who will con tribute to please leave their gifts at the State Building and Loan As sociation on Friday, December 10. In announcing the program, Mrs. Summer said, “When we remem ber that there are many patients without loved ones or relatives at these hospitals, others who have been forsaken by relatives and still others whose families can not afford to provide extras for their loved ones, I am sure that you will be rewarded as well as challenged to promote this worth while project. You will be adding a star of hope to someone’s holi day and the real joy of Christmas will be yours.” Cash contributions will be used for Christmas decorations and par ty activities, for large gifts use ful to groups of patients, and for special needs.
