Some years ago 1 was dis cus.-,ng federal aid to educa tion with various educators. ''Federal Aid wont’ mean fed- t ral control they said. My friend out in Tulsa, Okla. this week sent m* several ar ticles from the Tulsa Tribune newspapers of recent date. Among them was a story con cerning desegregation of the schools under Commissioner Howe's notorious guidelines. I thought a couple of paragraphs from the story might prove of interest and might give you an indication of what to ex pect here: “Tulsa's system had 16 schools where teaching staffs were integrated this year. The proposed plan for lb66-67 calls for desegregated staffs at 16 more schools plus placement of additional white teachers in the three all-Neg'ro schools. When notified of this pro gress, Howe wrote to the school districts: Continued on page 4 Miss The May-June issue of The South Carolina Musician, offi cial publication of the South Carolina Music Educators As- -oeiation, has been dedicated to Miss Juanita Hitt, director of choral music for Newberry City Schools. Miss Hitt served from 1957 to 1J65 as editor of the Musi cian. and has also served as president of the S. C. Music Educators Association. A picture of Miss Hitt in the classroom is shown on the cov er pag'e of the Musician, and the dedication appeal's on the two center pages of the maga zine. It is as follows: “Because of her wholesome influence upon thousands of young people . . . “Because of the forty years she lias given to the teaching of music in her community . . . “Because of the public serv ice rendered by her and her choral groups in the community, state, and throughout the Southeast . . . "Because of her service as president of the South Carolina Music Educators Association, hor long work with, and devo tion to the State, District and National Music Educators As sociations . . . "“But mainly because of her efficient, capable editorship of THE SOUTH CAROLINA MU SICIAN for a period of eight years, during which time the MUSICIAN has received praise from throughout the nation and from foreign countries, as one of the finer music educator publications . . . “We dedicate this issue of THE SOUTH CAROLINA MU SICIAN to MISS JUANITA HITT, whose influence in her community has been aptly sum marized by one of her former students: “In her long service to our community as Teacher and Su pervisor, Miss Hitt has brought Oy. scholastic knowledge and inspiration to ('very pupil for tunate enough to come into contact with her. I can honest- y say that Miss Juanita is one of the few who will leave this world a hotter place for having lived.” Rev. John Griffith of the Pomaria Charge preached his final sermon at New Hope Methodist Church on Sunday, June 26. He was honored with farewell gifts by members of the congregation fol lowing the service. Judy Rawls, president of the Methodist Youth Fellowship, is shown presenting Rev. Griffith a desk set from the MYF, as Bar bara Rawls, outgoing president, looks on. The con gregation presented Mr. and M s. Griffith a plat form rocker. Rev.

BOARD BE OPEN THROUGH TODAY The Newberry County Board of Registration will be open un til 5:00 p.m. today (Thursday) for issuing of voting certifi cates. The office is located at the courthouse. 0E0 director now on duty The Newberry-Saluda Office of Economic Opportunity was opened on July 1, in Room 512 in the State Bank & Trust building in Newberry. Phone is 276-2502. Robert H. Shealy, chairman of the Board, announces the appointment of N. Ellis Van- degrift as the Executive Dir ector of the new office. Vandegrift is a native of Florence. He is a former dir ector of the United Funds & Councils of America in North Carolina. He comes to New berry from Western North Carolina where he served as an area coordinator for the Anti-Poverty program. The Newberry-Saluda OEO office is tentatively planning to em ploy over 100 jeople in the war on poverty in the two counties. These people will be employed in neighborhood centers, neighborhood youth corps, day care, head start and other programs. Jobs will be- available on part time basis for high school youth, college students and the elderly. Through the Newberry-Sa luda OEO office, Vandegrift says that it is passible for the poverty in the two counties to be overcome within 5 to ten years. All families of 4 or more who earn less than $3300 annually are considered victims of poverty and therefore they qualify to receive services from the poverty program. 35 million people in the na tion in poverty when the anti poverty bill was passed by Congress in 1964. The pro grams of the Office of Eco nomic Opportunity since 1964 have reduced the number to approximately 34 million peo ple who are now in poverty. As a result of training pro grams and job placement, for the unemployable and unem ployed, the OEO has helped take 10 per cent of the people off relief rolls in several states. Vandegrift said that the status of the poor pulls down the economy in Newberry and Saluda Counties. Neville takes position at Va. hospital Dr. David Neville, Jr., son of Mrs. D. W. A.
