If so, I'd like to remind them that the? _ is also a Repub lican—and a mighty fine one— who’ll be running against Fritz Rollings in November—Marsh all Parker. That’s a name you maybe haven’t heard too much yet, but with the Democratic primary over, I'm sure it will become much more familiar be tween now and November, and that the Democratic nominee is going to find he has a much harder race on his hands than he did in the primary.

Miss Walker pointed out that registered architects have designed the plans for all ren ovations as well as new con struction. She further noted that the buildings, when com pleted, should meet the pro jected libiary needs of their communities for the next 20 years. Among the libraries sharing the grant is the Newberry-Sa- iuda Regional library, which will move into the old post- office building after it is com pletely renovated. New officers were elected at the meeting of the Exchange Club of Newberry last week.

By the same token, it can be said Robert McNair had him self appointed Governor —- cer tainly he was a party to the wheeling and dealing. Will the reaction of tin public be the same ? DIDN'T TAKE LONG Mention was made in this col umn last week that Medicare was already beginning to take its toll, and it isn’t even in ef fect yet. Cessation of free am bulance service by f u n e r a 1 homes, is the direct result of federal restrictions placed on ambulance services by the medi care program. It was also mentioned here last week that somebody would have to provide and pay for ambulance service—guess who? Rep. D. P. Folk gave the ans wer last Saturday night: the taxpayer, of course, with an in creased tax millage. And in ad dition, those who use the serv ice will be required to pay a fee. So the “free” benefits of Medicare are beginning to take shape, and they are going to prove more and more expensive as time goes on. Even so, it’s still hard to convince some folks that you just don’t get something for nothing. IN MONTREAT Miss Lucy Senn is two months at her home in Montreat, N spending summer C. Spray program for county is underway During the next four months, the County Health Department will undertake a spraying pro gram in Prosperity, Pomaria, Whitmire, Little Mountain, Newberry and Peak. This pro gram has proven effective in the elimination of flies, mos quitoes and other insects, ac cording to Health Department officials, who point out that spraying alone cannot accom plish a 100 per cent goal. The Department requests the coop eration of individuals iti carry ing out the program by fol lowing the suggestions below: 1. See that you have a san itary garbage can with tight- fitting cover, one that is ample for your needs, but not ex ceeding a JO gallon capacity. 2. Eliminate stagnant wa ter which will cause most breeding places for insects, flies and mosquitoes. Get rid of old tires, bottles, cans, etc. 3. Clean up debris which causes fly breeding places such as cow yards, dog pens, chick en yards and rabbit pens, etc. 4. Have all vacant lots cut since they harbor mosquitoes, etc. Have drainage adequate for such lots. Cockroaches are unwanted and uninvited guests in any home. They destroy food and damage fabrics, book bindings and other materials. They spread filth and carry dis eases when they fun over food. Some of the diseases which cockroaches carry are food poisoning and diarrhea. There are about 55 different kinds of roaches in the United States.

(Jabbo) Folk told a Democratic rally audience here Saturday night that a two mill tax in crease wdll be necessary for a county-financed emergency am bulance service which will be available July 1. He estimated the cost at $70,000. Folk said the county has agreed to purchase an ambu lance to be operated by trained personnel of the Newberry County Hospital. The county will maintain and equip . the emergency vehicle, he said. Folk said the hospital board of trustees has approved op eration of the ambulance serv ice with all fees collected to be paid to the hospital for its op eration. Funeral home directors in the county last week notified city and county officials that they would terminate emergency am bulance service July 1 because of restrictions placed on am bulance services by the federal medicare program. The funeral homes had pro vided ambulance service free of charge to county residents for years. Folk emphasized that the county also will furnish and equip ambulances at any munic ipality in the county when re quested and where personnel is available to act in a dual role as ambulance drivers and at tendants in addition to such duties as police and firemen.

(Newberry College Photo.) Continue Dairy food observance primary, with greatest interest centered on the county Com missioner races, where the to tal vote was 4985. Punning a clase second in the tallying was the race between Hollings and Russell, in which 4941 votes were counted. About 300 less votes were tallied in the Cul- bertson-Morrah race, 4624. The District Senate race drew 4582 votes. On the local scene, incumbent Ben F. Dawkins was returned to office of Commissioner of District 1 with a vote of 1964 against 1361 for his challenger, J. Sease Dowd. Dawkins led in all hut eight of the 32 pre cincts which vote in this dis- | trict. Incumbent Ros George was returned to office as Comm issioner of District 2. He led in 17 of the 23 boxes in this con test and had a total of 966 votes. His opponent, Curtis E. Shealy had 712.

He carried Maybinton, by a vote of 26-8, and Silverstreet by 3 votes, 49-46. It had been expected that John Bolt Culbertson, running against F. Bradley Morrah Jr. for the six year Senate term now held by Sen. Thurmond, would gather almost all of the Negro vote and draw heavily on the labor vote. The former prediction was apparently ac curate, but Culbertson led in only one of the precincts con sidered predominantly a “lab or vote”—Oakland, where the vote was 121 to 107. He also led in Ward 4, No. 2, Fairview, Helena, Maybinton, Midway, Mt. Pleasant, Prosperity No. 1 and Zion; and tied with Mor- rah in O’Neal No. 1 and Long shore.

June Dairy Month had it’s formal kick-off in Newberry County last week with an Agri business tour, luncheon, and dairy bar. The observance con tinues through the month of June, however, and merchants of the city continue to join hand with their farm-friends in pro moting the sale and use of milk, as may be seen elsewhere in this issue of the Sun. Henry Parr, chairman of June Dairy Month observance for the Newberry County Farm Bureau, gave a few facts concerning the cow and her healthful products. The story of “bossy the cow” and milk goes hack to the be ginning of civilization itself, according to Parr. “Few people realize that the cow has played such a major role in the very existence of the human race, but history reveals the story of milk, and the records are un impeachable”. Prehistoric drawings, u n - earthed in the Sahara Desert and dating back 8,000 years or more feature picture-stories of cattle, Parr said. A 5,000 year- old mosaic frieze, found in an ancient temple ac Ur, near Bab ylon, depicts a dairy scene show ing milk containers and strain ers. Even mankind’s earliest known writings, Parr continued, mention milk as one of the most essential of all foods. In fact, the word “milk” is derived from the Sanskrit word “mrjati” which was used to describe the action of milking an animal. Down through the years, milk has continued to be a food of primary importance in the diet. The Bible makes many refer ences to milk and even describes the promised land as one of “milk and honey’” Writing from the early Egyptian, Greek and Roman civilizations also de scribe the importance of milk. And Marco Polo noted that the Tartars owed much of their strength and endurance to milk, the Farm Bureau leader said. The history of dairying in America is older than the his tory of the United States as a nation. The first dairy cows came to Jamestown in 1611 and helped bring an end to a terr ifying period of starvation. Other cattle had been brought into this country by Spanish explorers. As the pioneers moved west ward, opening up the country, nearly every covered w'agon was accompanied by a cow, the family’s “food factory” on the move. Nowadays, the milk industry is as modern and highly tech nical as any other American industry, Parr stated. Sleek dairy herds borely resemble the pioneers’ cattle and are, in fact. much more productive and more scientifically cared for than the herds of only a few decades ago. Great changes, too, have ta ken place in processing and distributing the product itself. Milk today is pasteurized, often homogenized, often fortified with vitamin D, sealed in san itary containers and, in gen eral, improved beyond the fond est dreams of the earliest Am erican dairy farmers.
