New industry
is result of
teamwork
By E. A. ANTHONY, Head
Internal Industries Division
S. C. State Development Board
Industrial development can
be compared to football: you’ve
got to have a full team on the
field to win a ball game.
This teamwork was the key
to helping Ocoma Foods com
pany select Newberry as the
ideal location for its new mul
ti-million dollar turkey pro
cessing plant. And the success
of this project points up the
necessity for teamwork if a
community is to progress and
build a better future for its
citizens.
When negotiations with Oco
ma began, it was determined
by the State Development
Board that the “umbrella”
approach would be the best
plan for attracting this plant
to South Carolina. Basically,
this meant that South Carolina
could not depend solely on its
own merits; it had to draw
on the market advantages of
fered by its neighboring states
to make the sales point com
plete.
The Ocoma plant will have
thecapacity to process 12,000
turkeys during a normal 8-hour
shift. At that rate, the plant
would use all the turkeys
grown in South Carolina in a
matter of a few weeks. Con
sequently, more turkeys were
needed.
Charles F. Risher, Clemson
University’s Turkey Extension
Specialist, went to work on the
problem and came up with the
answers. By identifying every
turkey flock in South Caro
lina, North Carolina and Geor
gia, he was able to provide the
company with the assurance
that a source of supply existed.
The state and the city of
Newberry can take a great
deal of pride in the work done
by Clemson on this project,
and the continuing role that
will be played by President
Edwards, Dean Wiley of the
College of Agriculture and
their staff members.
The Georgia Association of
Turkey Growers also played a
key part in the location of the
new plant by agreeing to sup
plement the supply of turkeys
available in the Carolinas.
Under the strong leadership
of Mayor Ernest Layton and
City Manager Kenneth Riebe,
Newberry was able t^ meet the
unusual problems brought a-
bout by the location of a plant
like Ocoma, including heavy
water and utility usage and ef
fluent disposal needs.
And the entire team receiv
ed able direction and hard work
from John Clarkson, the State
Development Board member
from Newberry, and Bob Lake
and Dave Morrison of the
county development board.
The effects of this team ef
fort will be felt for years to
come in Newberry and thru
out the state.
lina of the turkey crop pro
cessed by Ocoma will be trip-
pie that of the same crop if it
were sold to the fresh market,”
saidDr. Williams. whose de-
• partment will work closely -with
1 the company when production
begins next spring. “In addi-
: tion to the direct payments
j made to turkey growers and
1 plant workers, new money will
also be generated by products
: and services the new plant will
I demand.”
i These products and serviq?s
1 include such items as shipping
containers and transportation.
In addition, Dr. Williams said,
the plant’s capacity will spur
[ the growing of more turkeys
in the state, which in turn will
provide for increased loans to
; farmers, and greater expen-
; ditures for turkey housing.
; feed and medicine.
South Carolina now produces
1 approximately 1 1-2 million
| turkeys a year, but agricul-
j tural economists estimate the
! state can produce five million
annually within five years.
“This naturally leads to a
greater total agriculture pro
gram,” Dr. Williams continued.
“Soybeans, for instance, are
major constituents of turkey
diets. Increased production of
j turkeys should mean an in-
! crease in our market for loc-
( ally grown soybeans and other
: products. It could also lead to
. the growth of industries to
process these crops.”
Ocoma, a subsidiary of Con
solidated Foods of Chicago, is
the second major food pro
cessor to locate in this state
since the State Development
Board began a new program
to attract companies in this
field. Campbell Soup Company
is currently constructing a
multi-million dollar plant in
Sumter for the production of
its frozen TV dinners.
Both are located in the mid
dle of the turkey growing
area encompassing South Car
olina. North Carolina, and
Georgia. This advantageous lo
cation, plus the capability for
growing and processing on a
year-round basis, have spurred
the growth of the industry in
the state.
“Year round production and
the trend toward more con
venience foods will bring about
even greater growth,” said Dr.
Williams. “As a result. we
will continue to see South
Carolina moving from a con
sumer to a manufacturer in
this area.”

New money be
generated by
Ocoma plant
The announcement by Ocoma
Foods Company that it will
build a multi-million dollar
turkey processing plant in
Newberry will mean more to
South Carolina than an at
tractive building and several
hundred new jobs.
The plant, which will em
ploy 450 to 500 people, will
have both immediate and long
range effects on many seg
ments of the state’s economy,
according to an authority close
to the business.
Dr. W. P. Williams, head of
Clemson University’s Depart
ment of Food Science and Bio
chemistry, sees the location of
the new plant in the state as
an impetus for dramatic ad
vances in South Carolina ag
riculture.

The Travelers Insurance Companies
The giving of wedding gifts is
an ancient custom—as old as mar
riage itself; only the nature of
the gifts has changed. The yoke
of oxen, the
bag of wheat,
the length of
handwoven
cloth have
given way to
the electric cof
fee-maker and
the teak salad
bowl!
Women in the know with
brides-to-be in the family realize
that recording and acknowledg
ing all those gifts is one of the
bride’s most important responsi
bilities, and one of the most joy
ous, if they help her to do it well.
A good system is to record all
gifts—as they arrive—in a note
book, the lines of which are num
bered.. (Such books, designed for
just this purpose, are sold at most
stationery stores, together with
a box of small gummed numbers.)
As each gift arrives, the bride
notes the name and address of
the donor and writes a little de
scription of the gift. She then
inconspicuously affixes a gummed
number corresponding to the
number in the book to the gift.
It’s a good idea to write a cer
tain number of ‘thank-you’s"
each day (preferably first thing
in the morning), and it helps to
write the notes in the room where
the gifts are arranged. The bride
surrounded ‘ by all this heart
warming and beautiful proof of
her friends* affection finds her
thank-you’s come from the heart!
A tip from The Travelers is
that all these gifts be insured
under the newlyweds* Homeown
ers’ policy, but a wise mother of
the bride will be sure her own
Homeowners* package has a tem
porary rider to protect these
treasures while they’re under her
roof I
