THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1966 THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE THREE LETTER TO EDITOR Dear Sir: The Pastor’s Conference of the Reedy River Baptist Asso- -ciation declares its thoughtful approval of the stand taken re cently by the legislative dele gations from Newberry and Daurens Counties against the proposal for immediate change in the state liquor laws. We be lieve that much pressure is be ing applied to our legislators for immediate remedy in this mat ter, but we urge them not to be stampeded into rash action. Many of our citizens are being misled by certain of the press and the legislautre, to say noth ing of the liquor lobby, to be lieve that hasty action is neces sary. No doubt there should be some change in existing liquor laws, but we submit that the whole matter ought to be stud ied seriously and responsibly by a non-partisan committee whose primary duty should be to inform our citizens concern ing all sides of the issue. Sincerely, L. Byron Harbin, C. E. Russell, Ralph E. Rhyne, Comm, for the Con ference May 17, 1966.

C. Crop Reporting Service. Total egg production climbed over the billion mark to one billion, 119 million eggs last year and the value of product ion increased to over 36 million dollars. “These figures show the im portance of the egg industry to our agricultural economy,” ob served South Carolina Com missioner of Agriculture Wil liam L. Harrelson. “This in crease is a credit to our egg producers. Consumers know that when they purchase S. C. produced eggs, they are gett ing quality eggs. And our rep utation is extending out of the state. Our S. C. eggs are in great demand in other sections of the country.” One of the reasons for quality eggs in South Carolina is the pride and preparation that Pal metto State producers put into their products. They take time to attend training schools such as the Southeastern Egg Qual ity and Grading School which will be held in Columbia June 14-17. ' * At schools like this one, the candler, grader, producer and marketman work under super vision from both Federal and State officials to learn the lat est about egg quality and how to apply this knowledge to their own operations. Last year the number of counties with over a million dollars worth of eggs produced jumped from ten to 14 and two of the counties—Newberry and Spartanburg—were over the two million dollar mark. Newberry led the way with a production value of $2,263,000 and a total of 70 million eggs produced. Spartanburg had $2,- 053,000 in production value and Quincy Kunkle Quincey Epting Kunkle, 75, of Prosperity, died Monday night in a local hospital after a brief illness. Native of Newberry County, son of the late Henry Milton and Permelia Buzhardt Kunkle, he was a retired farmer, sawmill operator and a member of St. Luke’s Lutheran : Church. He was married twice. His first wife was the late Ellen Hawk ins Kunkle.

That’s the time fellows about to grad uate from high school start calling recruiters to find out what the armed forces have to offer. Sergeant William O. Knight, Air Force recruiter in this area says that he is getting a de luge of phone calls on the sub ject. ”It’s a little difficult to des cribe Air Force enlistment in 50 words, but here are the highlights,” Sergeant Knight offers. “Air Force enlistment is for four years, with guaranteed assignment to electronics, me chanical, administrative, or general aptitude areas. Basic training is 4 weeks at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. Seventy percent of our airmen go directly from there to a technical school, which may last almost a year.” There are many details, and Sergeant Knight is available to talk with young men and their parents. Appointments—day time or evening—can be made by calling him at 256-7311, Columbia, S. C. Attends mental health meeting Among the Newberry County residents who attended the Mental Health Month Awards Luncheon of the South Carolina Mental Health Association, a United Fund Agency, in Colum bia last Thursday was Mrs. J.
