Doctor E. M. Anderson of Newberry will serve as Jhe Newberry County Chairman of the 1966 Heart Fund Campaign according to Doctor Robert E. Edwards of Clemson, South Carolina Heart Fund Chairman. The Heart Fund Campaign is conducted nationally throughout the month of February reach ing its climax on the weekend of Heart Sunday, February 20, when volunteers call upon their neighbors to receive Heart Fund contributions and to distribute educational literature about the heart and its disorders. According to Doctor Ander son, a Heartarama will be con ducted also during Heart Month by the colored citizens of New berry. Funds collected in the cam paign each year go toward sup port of seven heart clinics over the state, research programs at the Medical College of South Carolina and other institutions, and post-graduate education of physicians as well as .informa tion and education of the public on the disease that kills one out of every two South Carolinians. Heart disease was the cause of 174 out of 300 deaths in New berry County last year. Doctor Anderson says that it is for this reason that the Heart Fund campaign is far too serious a problem to hide in a corner of a United Fund. One of the main motives of a Heart Fund Campaign is to edu cate the public about cardiovas cular diseases and how to avoid or minimize their occurence. This is impossible to get across to the citizens if the Heart Fund is sandwiched into a large drive covering numerous other worthy causes. According to Doctor Anderson, the research and other services of the Heart Association require more funds than might be secured through a combined drive. Since the es tablishment of .the Heart Asso ciation, there has been a 6 p>er cent reduction in the death rate from diseases of the heart and blood vessels of men aged 45- 64—giving precious years to the all-important breadwinner upon whom the well-being of the family depends. Because scarcely any Ameri can family is unaffected by the cardiovascular diseases through death or disability, most p>eople are eager to contribute to the work of the Heart Association. “Give—So More Will Live”, is the campaign slogan which Doctor Anderson hopes every one will remember when a vol unteer stops at their door on February 20, Heart Sunday. Dr. Anderson, who has been in the general practice of dent istry in Newberry since Sep tember 1947, is a native of Tim- monsville, where he attended the public schools. He received the Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Emory University School of Dentistry in Atlanta, Ga. in 1947. He is a member of the American Dental Associa tion, S. C. State Dental Asso ciation, has served as president of the Central District Dental Society, the Newberry Rotary Club, the Neil Truesdell Sunday School Class and the Newberry County Shrine Club. He is a member of the staff of New berry County Memorial Hospi tal. Dr. Anderson is a Mason, a Shriner, a member of the Jes- tors and of the American Le gion. He is married to the former Viola Wade of Timmonsville, and they are parents of four children: E. M. (Van) Ander son Jr., a student at Emory University School of Dentistry; Robert Wade (Bobby) Ander son, a student in music educa tion at the University of South Carolina; Gretchen and Beth Anderson, both students at Newberry High School.

The public is invited to attend the lecture and a reception in Smeltzer Hall. Dr. Stevenson is known for “his scholarly awareness, bril liant critical perceptions and uncanny ability to give order even to large rather abstract topics, and to present them with pedantry so that specialist and non specialist alike are inter ested.” He has written many books and articles, including ‘Ordeal of George Meredith,” “Showman of Vanity Fair,” and “English Literature of the Vic torian Period.” The lecturer holds the A.B. degree from the University of British Columbia, the M.A. from the University of Toronto, the Ph.D. degree from the Univer sity of California, and the B.

The public is invited. A Newberry College profes sor, John W. Wagner, will be presented in a clarinet recital Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. in Holland Hall auditorium. He joined the Newberry Col lege staff last fall as an as sistant professor of music, and has played the clarinet at sev eral college functions.

Mozart, “Three Fantasy Pieces” by Robert Schumann, “Four Pieces for Clarinet and Piano” by Alban Berg, and “Premiere Rhapsodie” by Claude Debussy. Accompanist will be Mrs. Caro lyn Savko, assistant professor of music. “Having heart Professor Wagner play at least a half dozen times, I think of him as definitely a musician of high concert caliber,” Dr. A. G. D. Wiles, president of Newberry College, said. “And I would like to invite all of om friends to hear him Tuesday night.” Professor Wagner played sec ond and bass clarinets with the Savannah Symphony during the 1961-62 season. He has studied' clarinet under the direction of Harry Schmidt at Florida State University and Earl Bates at Indiana University. He holds the bachelor of mu sic education degree from De- Pauw University, the master of music (clarinet) from Florida State University, and is work ing on a Ph.D. in musicology at Indiana University. Prior to coming to Newberry College, Professor Wagner was a high school and elementary choral and instrumental teacher in Indiana, Florida and in Savan nah, Ga. o’clock at Smeltzer Hall, New berry College. “Women Novelists and Some Womens Novels” will be the topic of Dr. Steeves’ talk. A New Englander of Cornish, New Hampshire, ,Dr. Steeves and his wife, Dr. Edna Steeves, associate professor of English at Newberry College, are now residing on Hillcrest Drive. The author of numerous pub lications, Dr. Steeves’ main in terest lies in English literature and the English novel. In Jiis words, the book “Before Jane Austen”, which was published on October 25, 1965, is to “deal with the years in which the novel was still an experiment.” He observed, “At the beginning of the eighteenth century there was no novel. By the end, nov els of every description were being published, not in dozens, but in hundreds. The badness of the product was universally recognized, but perhaps fifty had emerged out of the ruck of mediocrity, some tolerable, some good, and some great.” He examines the changing view of the social scene in the works of the great novelists of the period—Defoe, Richardson, Fielding, Smollett, and Sterne. “In many respects the great and positive literary achieve ment of the eighteenth century was the English novel,” the author observed. Dr. Steeves had a distinguish ed and long career at Columbia University, which he entered as a student in- 1899 and from which he retired as a full pro fessor in 1949, having served as head of the English Department for 25 years. He is listed in Who’s Who in America, 1962- 1963. In addition to his achieve ments as a teacher, scholar, edi tor, and translator, this learned individual also served as a lit erary consultant for a time. He explained, “One of the principal legal problems that comes up in publication is a matter of copy right. I went to Los Angeles two or three times to testify in motion picture litigations.” He recalled, “I worked on about 20 cases within a period of about 20 years.” Having written books vary ing in subject matter from “A College Program In Action” to a mystery story “Good Night, Sheriff,” Dr. Steeves, with the assistance of Mrs. Steeves, is starting an early American travel book. It will be an addi tion of a translation of a Ger man book on travel written by a German, Friedrich Gerstack- er, after his return to Germany. Since his retirement from the University, the Drs. Steeves have enjoyed their 200 year-old eighteenth century farmhouse where they spend their sum mers. One of Dr. Steeves’ hob bies is collecting antiques, par ticularly eighteenth century items. He also takes delight in growing about 75 orchids in his New England home. The father of two children, Dr. Steeves proudly remarked that there are now four genera tions of “Harrison Steeves,” since his young great-grandson was named Harrison Steeves the Fourth! Mrs. Plowden dies Tuesday Mrs. Annie L. Pitts Plowden, 61, died Tuesday night at the Newberry County Memorial hospital after a lingering ill ness. Mrs. Plowden was born in this county, the daughter of the late North and Bennie Lee Dominick Pitts. She spent most ’of her life in Greenwood. She was a member of Chappells baptist church, the Home Dem onstration club of Varnville and the Ladies Sunday School Class of her church. She was twice married, first to the late William Mark Wil son. From this union, she is survived by one son, Sloan Wil son of Newberry and one dau ghter, Mrs. Guy (Anne) White- ner, Jr., of Newberry.

She is survived by her step mother, Mrs. Ruth Lister of Leesville; one step-son, Mack Blake Plowden of Greenwood; one step daughter, Mrs. Lillie Lake Riley of Hodges; one half brother, Floyd Lee Pitts, of Greenwood, and four grand children.
