Smith cattle above average producers Seven registered Jersey cows owned by C. T. Smith, Valley Farm Dairy, Route 1, Kinards, S. C. have been awarded Ton of Gold Certificates by The American Jersey Cattle Club. The Ton of Gold award is made to Jersey cows that pro duce at least a ton of butterfat during a four-year period on Herd Improvement Registry test. During the past four years the production of the seven cows in the Smith herd averag ed over 500 lbs. butterfat per cow per year, which far exceeds the production of the average” dairy cow in the United States. All tests were checked by Clemson University and were verified by the headquarters of fice of The American Jei-sey Cattle Club at Columbus, Ohio. The average dairy cow is dis carded before she has completed three years of production. The Smith Jerseys demonstrate the long productive life which dairymen must strive for in their herds to receive optimum profits. Mrs. Elliott’s poem published Mrs. F. Scott Elliott has just received a certificate of accept ance for her poem, “To a Crepe Myrtle” to be published in the 1966 edition of the National Poetry Anthology for Teachers in April.

It will al so contain a biographical sketch. This is the eighth consecutive year in which Mrs. Elliott has had a poem published in the Anthology. She has had two other poems accepted for publi cation in a magazine at a later date. She is a member of the South Carolina Piedmont Branch of the National League of Ameri can Penwomen, having earned her membership on the basis of the poetry which she has had published. Howard Turner—Gerald Taylor Trio be beard at College The Newberry College Arts and Lecture Series will present a concert by the University of Georgia Trio at 8 p.m. Friday in Holland Hall auditorium. The public is invited to attend the concert and a reception which will follow in Smeltzer Hall. The trio is composed of mem bers of the University of Geor gia music faculty, Edwin Gers- chefski, head of the department pianist; Leonard Felburg, vio linist; and Eckhart Richter, cellist. They joined the Uni versity faculty in September of 1960, formed a trio and de cided to play a few concerts on and off the campus. The idea mushroomed into a season of some 70 performances the first year. “From beginning to end, it was an exciting concert; one of the finest examples of per fect chamber music virtuosity to be heard locally for many a day,” the Charleston Evening Post said following a Univers ity of Georgia Trio concert. “To find three fine artists, each greatly accomplished in his own field, playing with such rapport, is the ultimate in good and blissful listening.” Civic League hears Morison David W. Morrison, executive director of Newberry Develop ment Board and director of the Newberry County Civil Def ense Program, was the featured speaker at the regular meeting of Newberry Civic League held at the Community Hall Tuesday afternoon, January 25, at 4. Mrs. Ralph B. Baker, pro gram chairman for this meet ing on national and civil de fense, introduced Morrison, and at the cinclusion of his talk, Prof. F. Scott Elliott, Sr., pres ident of the Civic League, thanked him for his impressive presentation of the importance of our civil defense program. 1 Morrison presented to the group a gripping film “Though The Earth Be Moved,” depict ing the tremendous Alaskan earthquake of March 27, 1964. This earthquake caused proper ty damage estimated at $750,- 000,000 and left a toll of 115 dead. y < Alaska's largest city, Anch orage, with a population of 100, 000 was hardest hit. Streets were buckled and buildings were shattered; virtually the entire downtown section of the city was leveled. Other hard-hit Alaskan communities included Valdez, Seward, Cordova, and Kodiak. Tidal waves set off by the quake raked the North Am erican coast from British Col umbia to Southern California. The film showed the tremen dous job that the Alaskan civil defense organization did in handling this emergency. It showed the rescue work of the Alaskan Command, and it showed the handling of food and water shortages and the care of the injured and disabl ed by civil, state, federal, and volunteer workers as they at tempted to restore things to normal after the disaster. In conclusion, Morrison point ed out that we as citizens need to be alert to the ramifications of such a situation as that de picted in Alaska, for there is the possibility of such natural disasters as hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, and fires in South Carolina. Lighting bugs are welcomed Mosquitoes, beetles and gnats may be unwanted “bugs” to the nighttime motorist but a wel come sight on darkened high ways is the “lighting bug.” A lighting bug is a driver who is particular about the lights on his automobile or truck. He sees that they are always dimmed when approach ing traffic, are all burning and are aimed properly. When he gets ready to make a turn the turn signal is always used to signal his intention to other motorists. During these winter months when daylight fades away at an early hour, Mr. Lighting Bug sees to it that his headlights are illuminated as soon as vis ibility becomes limited and the roads start getting dangerous. And he doesn’t use his parking lights at dusk,either. As the name indicates, they a^e for parking and that is the mess age they are supposed to con vey to other highway users. State Highway Department authorities point out that the most frequent violation noted in the December report of ve hicle checks was improper lighting. The Patrol officers conducting the inspections found 6,294 defective cars on this account alone. ' j8| IHi DIVISION Mi's.

Witnesses meet in Greenville February 18-20 has been sel ected as the dates for the forthcoming circuit assembly of Jehovah’s Witnesses it was announced today by Timothy L. Brooks, presiding minister of the Newberry congregation. The event will be held in Green ville.* Mr. Brooks said the three-day gathering will attract delegates from 17 congregations through-j out parts of South Carolina, Georgia and North Carolina. The Christian gathering will be sponsored by the Watchtow- er Bible and Tract Society and will highlight the Biblical theme taken from the 28th chapter of the book of Mat thew, verses 19 and 20, “Make Disciples of Peoples Of All Nations.” The purpose of the assembly according to Mr. Brooks, is part of the advancing training pro gram of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Bible study and house-to-house ministry. “We pattern our me thod of the ministry after that of Jesus and his disciples,” he stated, “and our assemblies are designed to help us perform our Bible teaching in the man ner as outlined by Christ.” SCHD workers keep roads open for motorists State Highway Department, county and city maintenance men put forth their best ef forts to cut down dangers im posed on motorists during bad weather, the South Carolina Highway Department said to day. During periods of sleeting, snowfall and ice formation, such as South Carolina exper ienced lately, these trained men work long hours in removing snow and in sanding bridges, intersections, curves, hills and approaches to highway - rail crossings. Warning signs are also placed in hazardous areas. Cooperating closely with these weather-fighters are state highway patrolmen and local traffic law enforcement offi cers, who must be on duty to patrol roadways, direct traffic, untangle tie-ups, and investi gate accidents. The jobs of these mainten ance men would be made a lot easier if all drivers would ex ercise extraordinary care in meeting the hazards presented by unusual weather conditions. During snow or ice storms, it is difficult to be everywhere at once with all the highway main tenance or police traffic assist ance that might be desirable. Therefore it is urgent that ev ery vehicle operator accept in creased responsibility for his own safety and the protection of others he meets on the high way. Highway Department offi cials recommend that car and trucks be frequently inspected throughout the winter to les sen chances of mechanical breakdowns and accidents. Statistics show that accidents are not caused by weather, good or bad, but by drivers who forget the usefulness and mean ing of highway warning signs, and the necessity of altering vehicle speeds to meet chang ing road and weather conditi ons. GI borrowers may be liable when home sold Veterans who sell their GI homes and permit the buyer to assume their GI loan remain liable in case of subsequent foreclosure unless they obtain a release of liability. This can be obtained upon request to VA, if VA aproves the buyer as a good credit risk, John I. Findley, Loan Guaran ty Officer, Columbia VA Reg ional Office, said today. A release from liability, how ever, does not restore the vet eran’s eligibility for another GI loan. Findley said this can be re stored only when the VA is no longer liable to the lender on the guaranty, and if the vet eran: a is forced to sell his home through no fault of his own, for reasons of health, employ ment, etc. b. has his property taken by a Government agency for. pub lic use, or destroyed by a nat ural hazard; or c. is in military service and must dispose of his home be cause of a military transfer.
