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

Newberry tops
state in egg
production
COLUMBIA — South Caro
lina’s egg industry continues
to grow, according to figures
for 1965 released by the S. 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

Enlistment
information
When it comes to comparison
shoppnig, women on grocery
day take a back seat to young
men in the springtime. 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,
