Board seeks new members The following statement has been issued by Dave Morrison, executive secretary of the Newberry County Deveopment Board: The effectiveness of an or ganization is reflected in the and development of a commun- dentally, this costs money and one of our leading power com panies is assisting in this pro ject. Similar packages for the other above listed communities could be worked up for the ben efit of all. Because we feel that you are interested in the growth of your community, we hope you will be joining the ranks of those who care! POPPY DAY ... (Continued from page 1) crepe paper and wire stems and their production provides an interesting diversion for many hospitalized veterans,” she added. “The work is con sidered Valuable as occupational therapy, in Addition to giving the disabled tnen the encourag ing experience of earning mon ey once again. All materials are supplied without cost by the American Legion Auxiliary which jays the hospitalized veteran for his work.” An estimated 150,000 volun teer workers from the Auxil iary and cooperating groups are required to distribute some 20 million memorial flowers on Poppy Day. All contributions received from the public are used solely for the rehabilita tion and child welfare programs conducted by the American Legion Auxiliary. Poppy Day observance has been held in Newberry for the past 40 years, Mrs. Anderson said. Since the American Leg ion and Auxilary originated are idea of Poppy Day after World War I, the program has had two basic objectives: to serve as a memorial for the nation’s war dead and as a tribute to all disabled veterans. “The American Legion Aux iliary has always been pleased with the heartening response from the public to this worthy program. We are hoping that 1966 will be our best year to date,” Mrs. Anderson said. ity or county is dependent up on the total support and back ing of the people within that county. The Newberry County Development Board is an (org anization dedicated to improv ing our county for your bene fit. Are you supporting it in order . that it may work for the good of all ? ? There is npt an individual in Ne\vbej*ry County who has not profited froip the new indust- tries. yo^r Development Board has successfully located here. Have you stopped to consider the impact, /elt ; throughout the county as the result of our new industries? There are now more than, 750 new jobs. There are’ lintol^ new supporting bus inesses. There are many more members in our churches. There are more school taxes to be used for teaching purposes. There arp more cars, more gas oline' usage—more and better homes are being built. More milk and agricultural products are needed to support these new people in p ur community. We could go on and on, but cer tainly you realize the good that has come from our recent growth! Many areas of our county have experienced little or no industrial growth. Among them are Peafy; Little fountain, Po- maria, SrlVei^fcreet, and Chap pells. These areas require spec ial packages 4ncentives to industry if they are to locate there. As an example, your Board is now developing a package for Peak. This package is being built up on an optional 1000-plus acres, having a topo graphic map, soil borings, ad jacent to the Broad river, a railroad, principal highway pos sibility, utilities, and an ex cellent source of manpower. This will be wrapped up in an attractive brochure and it is our hope that we may then interest and sell a prospective industrialist on this area. Inci- Urges savers to withdraw postal funds Postmaster Harry E. Moose has urged local citizens who have funds on deposit in the abolished Postal Savings Sys tem to convert their holdings into United States Savings bonds. “ Postmaster General Law rence F. O’Brien, who is chair man of the Federal Savings bond campaign, has appealed to the 930,000 Americans who have $285,000,000 on deposit with the Post Office Depart ment to convert their invest ments into United States Sav ings bonds,” Mr. Moose stated. “I join him in urging local citizens who have postal sav ings accounts to make that change which will be of great benefit to both themselves and our country. Savings bonds of fer every advantage of conven ience and security formerly available through postal serv ings certificates plus many oth er advantages unique to sav ings bonds.” Among those special advant ages, the Newberry postmaster said, are savings bonds’ new, higher interest rates of 4.15 per cent and “the great intangible benefit of supporting our coun try in the fight for freedom in the world and for economic progress and security here at home.” Mr. Moose said details about the procedure for conversion can be obtained from the post master of any postal savings depository post office (which includes Newberry). The Postal Savings System, in operations since January 1, 1911, was discontinued April 27, 1966, by Act of Congress. The Post Office Department pres ently is liquidating its accounts and on July 1, 1967, will trans fer all unclaimed assets of the system to the Treasury Depart ment. The decision to abolish the postal savings system was made because of a declining interest in it by the general public as a savings and investment medium. Higher interest rates paid by financial institutions and other means of investment had at tracted the bulk of, funds which formerly went into postal sav ings and the convenience factor was negated by expanded hours of service by banks. The original purposes of the postal savings system were to: (1) get money out of hiding, (2) attract the savings of im migrants who were accustomed to saving at post offices in their native countries, (3) “i provide safe depositories fort people who had lost confidence in' private banks and (4) provide more convenient depositories for sav ings of working 1 people who were unable to bank during regular banking hours. “Those purposes have long since been fulfilled,” Postmas ter Moose commented, “and, as Mr. O’Brien has emphasized, no greater new purpose could now be served by funds on deposit in the postal savings system than to put them to work for America in the form of United States Savings Bonds.” T. C. Hawkins dies at home Thomas Cleveland Hawkins, 81, of Route 3, Prosperity, died Thursday morning at his home. He had been in declining health for a number of years. He was born in Newberry County, son of the late Berley and Amelia Morris Hawkins. He was a retired farmer and was a member of Mt. Pilgrim j Lutheran Church. Survivors include five sons, T. Virgil Hawkins, Leslie Haw kins, Gilbert Hawkins and Lew is Hawkins, all of Prosperity, and Berle y Hawkins of New berry; three daughters, Mrs. Heyward (Rosalyn) Frick of Prosperity, and Miss Hazel Hawkins and Miss Faye Haw kins, both of Columbia; two brothers, George I Hawkins and J. Boyce Hawkins, both of Prosperity; 13 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at Mt. Pilgrim Lutheran Church, conducted by Rev. J. S. Wessinger and Re J. A. Keisler Jr. Interment Ws^ in the church cemetery. SCALE—PEST OF THE WEEK . . . Usually by this time of the year we are not bothered by this pest but due to cool weah- er, they’re still around! Cottony Cushion Scale was brought in by Mr. Wessinger of Hartford Heights. They were on a Maple tree. Different scale are found very often on many types of ornamental plants and shrubs. Malathion is probably the best and safest material to use to get rid of these pests. Cool weather and hail have played havoc with a lot of cot ton stands over the county. Di seases of seedling cotton have taken a right heavy toll. This calls for a very careful consid eration—either replant or plant to another crop. Remember, you will have to move fast if you expect to replant to cotton as tfre time is getting rather late. However, with a good insect- control program a normal yield may be expected on late cotton. Another possibility is to plant soybeans on this land. If the land is treated with Treflan, you can expect good grass con trol on beans. However, the rate of application would be a little on the high side for soybeans. Be sure to request an early measurement from the A.S.C. Office if you decide to replant cotton land to soybeans. You have read and heard a lot about Beautification here lately. Well, it is a mighty im portant thing. Right here in Newberry we are blessed with an abundance of open spaces, fields, woods, streams and lakes. Yet, we’ve got a lot of room for improvement. It takes the full cooperation of city dwellers and farmers to keep our county The Beauty Spot of South Carolina! Springtime can mean house fly season! That is, unless you start to work to combat them. One place in particular they must be fought constantly is around the Dairy barn and Cage poultry house. There are a num ber of new Cage Poultry houses going up in the county and. of course, some have been in op eration for sometime. Dr. J. B. Kissam, extension entomologist — chemical use, was in Newberry last week to work on this problem. He point ed out that Cygon, a residual insecticide, was one of the most effective materials we have for use under cages in the poultry houses. Even though it is a residual material, regular spray ing must be done to keep flies under control. Tuesday, May 31st i i 8:00 P. M.
