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.

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.

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.
