Smith’s cows break records in production The highest herd average for butterfat production ever made in South Carolina!—that signal honor was bestowed upon Clif ford T. Smith during the aw ards program at the annual meeting of the South Carolina Breeding Association in Colum bia recently. Owners of the ton 10 herds for butterfat production during 1965 were recognized. Smith’s herd was awarded first place with an average of 10,168 lbs. milk and 581 lbs. butterfat per cow on 212 cows. Other New berry Dairy farmers who plac ed in the top ten included:.Dav id Waldrop of Silverstreet, Max and Harold Cook of Prosperity, and Henry Parr of Route 3, Newberry. C. T. Smith was elected pres ident of the organization for the ensuing year. Tax refund checks sent Columbia.—H. M. McLeod, District Director of Internal Revenue for South Carolina, reported today that the South east Service Center, Chamblee, Georgia, had issued this year to date some 13,000 tax refund checks to residents of South Carolina. About 145,000 refund checks, totaling nearly $17,000,000 had been issued as of last week in the 7 states in the Southeast Region. Revenue Service figures show that returns filed in South Carolina to date are running well behind the number filed last year at this time. McLeod emphasized that delays in fil ing returns or filing just prior to the April 15 deadline will create an overly heavy work load for the Service, which in turn will cause delay in the processing of refunds. McLeod said taxpayers, par ticularly those having refuids, should get their returns filed now. To speed up refunding of ticularly those having refunds, should be mailed directly to the Service Center, 4800 Buford Highway, Chamblee, Ga. 30005. ‘All My Sons’ be staged at Holland Hall “All My Sons,” a play by Ar thur Miller, will be presented at 1 the Newberry College Theatre Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. in Holland Hall auditorium.

Heart Fund is nearing end With approximately two- thirds of the city of Newberry canvassed, Dr. E. M. Anderson, Newberry County Chairman of the Heart Fund, said, “The splendid response from the people of Newberry to the 1966 Heart Fund Appeal is dramatic evidence that they understand the seriousness of the heart problem. It also demonstrates their strong conviction that the Heart Association’s pro gram of research, education and community service continues to be the most effective way to combat and eventually to con trol this leading health men ace. As soon as possible, totals will be announced on the Heart Sunday canvass. Due to circur stances beyond our control, mostly sickness, a few of the streets of the city were not canvassed on Heart Sunday. Anyone who was not contacted and wishes to contribute to the fund may have his contri bution picked up by a volunteer by calling telephone 276-3271.” SAR chapter hears Raffield W. J.
