lack of time and money to see
all that one would wish to see,
and the almost unbearably hot
weather. Since we are staying-
on the Gulf, there is a little
breeze most cf the time, hut
to get out on the highway is
an ordeal. The heat is bad en
ough,, but the traffic in this
resort area is even worse.
We braved both elements to
day, however, for a short trip
to New Orleans. In the few
hours we were there, we man
aged to see all of Canal street,
had breakfast on Bourbon
street in the French Quarter,
had a look at the French Mar
ket, rode a ferry boat across
the Mississippi, and came back
across the beautiful bride on
the Pontchartran Expressway.
New Orleans is certainly a col
orful, as well as historic city,
and it would take much more
time than we have to ever
begin to see the many points
of interest.
Our trip down to this Gulf
resort was uneventful, but
made much more pleasant by
interstate highways. It is am
azing to note the short amount
of time it takes to get through
Atlanta on the expressways.
We stopped by the Atlanta air
port and had a good look at
the beautiful new terminal
there. On the way through
Alabama, we went by Auburn

probably remembered by a
number of local World War II
veterans.

The beach along the area in 1 td j s c j t

miles along Highway 90. For
the 28 miles there is a con
tinuous string of motels, res
taurants and private homes in
several incorporated cities, but
without looking at the signs,
it’s impossible to tell where one
city ends and the next begins.
The Gulf water—to us at
least—is dirty and smelly. If
there is a high tide anl a low
tide, it is barely discernable.
There isn’t the smooth, wave-
combed sand that we find on
our beaches back home. Wet

enough—no one cared about
a full scale swim.

IN SYMPATHY
Everyone who knows Mrs.

agree that she is one of the
nicest persons in this city and
those of us who were fortunate
enough to know her mother
can understand why Agnes is
the person she is.
Mrs. Mary Templeton was a
wonderful person, who reared
a large family of children after
her husband died some years
ago. Saturday morning she suc
cumbed to cancer which has
plagued her for the past year.

S. C. highway
deaths set all-
time record
The old record for traffic
fatalities was set in 1961 w r hen
the Fourth fell on Tuesday and
the holiday was given a four
day count. South Carolina tied
that record by killing 18 this
past weekend but did it in
a three day holiday. The pre
vious high for a three day
weekend on the fourth was 12,
in 1960.
Facts continue to reveal that
at this same time last year,
until the 4th of July, we had
recorded 392 traffic fatalities
and this year we have reached
the 425 mark. We are also 21
ahead of the same time period
in 1964 when the state set an
all-time record when S. C. was
among the highest in the na
tion in traffic fatalities.
Carelessness, dis-respect for
fellow motorists, and thought
lessness are chief factors in the
climbing figures . of tragedy
The individual driver creates
situations through lack of
respect for the car he is driv
ing and the “other driver”,
and these situations, when
combined with speed and other
contributing factors, make up
90 per cent of the fatalities
recorded.
Mrs. Welborn

Mrs. Margaret Welborn, 58,
of Williamston, died last
Thursday in a Greenville hos
pital after an illness of one
month.
A native of Mountville, the
daughter of the late William
C. and Virginia Crisp Hipp,
she had lived in Williamston for
the past 22 years. She was a
member of the Wlliamston
Presbyterian church and was
a graduate of Newberry col
lege. She taught in Anderson
county schools for 35 years.

Winthrop dorms
still not filled
ROCK HILL — Winthrop
College will have adequate
housing facilities for all stu
dents this fall. The College is
still accepting applications for
students who wish to enter
in August.
“We have some dormitory
space left. Since many appli
cations are still in process, we
don’t know the exact number,
but suggest that any student
who has not applied do so im
mediately,” Dr. Charles Sk
Davis, Winthrop College Pres
ident, announced.
The new 400-student high-
rise dormitory now under con
struction solved housing prob
lems at WTnthrop for the time
being.
“With this new housing we
will be able to take additional
applcations and still provide
on-campus housing this year.
This is not true of many other
colleges and universities.
Some are already making ar
rangements to house students
off-campus,” Dr. Davis noted.
Last year some Winthrop
students lived off-campus be
cause of lack of dormitory
space.
“We’re pleased this will not
be necessary again this year.
We anticipate being able to
house all our students with the
new dormitory, and the second
high rise dormitory which is
expected to becompleted by
the begnning of the 1967-68
academic year,” Dr. Davis
said.
Opens home to
other faiths
In view of the shortage of
convalescent and rehabilitation
beds, the Board of Governors
of the North Carolina Jewish
Home for the Aged, Clemson,
N. C., after due deliberation,
have ageed to set aside a lim
ited number of beds in the nur
sing section of the Home to
accommodate persons requiring
this service.
Though this arrangement is
temporary in nature, the full
facility, including physical
therapy, recreational therapy,
occupational therapy and other
miscellaneous rehabilitative
functions, will be available as
necessary for these limited
term patients.
The homey atmosphere and
the beautiful surroundings of
this new medical-nursing com
plex creates a feeling of well
being and is rehabilitative in
its own right. While the Home
has assisted many of the older
residents to become active and
functional again the Board
now feels that it can extend
these services to others as an
important adjunct of commun
ity service, thus closing a gap
in an area of need.

Mass, resident
fined for racing
A 20-year-old Massachusetts
man was sentenced to pay a
$200 fine or serve three months
in jail for engaging in an auto
mobile race on a public high
way, the South Carolina State
Highway Department said to
day.
George Patterson Adams, of
Rorchester, Massachusetts was
picked up by the Highway
Patrol for racing a 1965 model
auto just north of Marion on
S. C. 41A. The incident occurr
ed December 23. Adams was
taken before Magistrate W.
Byrd who turned the case over
to General Sessions court for
disposition.
While only the driver was
charged in this case. South
Carolina law provides stiff
penalties for the driver, car
owner, and anyone who as
sists in staging a race on a
public thoroughfare. Also, a
garageman or mechanic who
tampers with or alters an auto
engine for the purpose of rac
ing on a public road is liable.
In addition to having his
driver’s license revoked for
one year, a person found guilty
of racing shall be fined not
less than $200 nor more than
$600 and imprisoned for not
less than two months nor more
than six, either or both.
Many reckless drivers are
removed from the state’s
roads each year as a result of
the passage of this anti-racing
law and its enforcement by
local officers and the Highway
Patrol.
REDEEMER
TO DEDICATE
NEW ORGAN
The new Schantz pipe organ
of The Lutheran Church of The
Redeemer will b? dedicated and
first used at the 11 r.m. worship
on Sunday, July 17, according
to announcement by Pastor
Henry A. McCullough Jr., D.D.
The instrument was designed
and custom-built for the new
church building and primarily
for the requirements of Luth
eran services of worship.
There are presently twenty-
one ranks (or voices) with a to
tal of 1,349 pipes, plus the 21-
note set of chimes retained
from the former pipe organ.
Three additional ranks are on
order for installation sometime
in 1967. With these additions,
the twenty-four ranks, com
prising 1,496 pipes, will com
plete the design by Mr. A. E.
Lunsford, Disuict Representa
tive of The Schantz Organ
Company of Orrville, Ohio.
The pipes range in size from
that of a small pencil to sixteen
feet in length and a foot in dia
meter, and contain both metal
and wood components.
Three divisions comprise the
organ: the Great Organ, the
Swell Organ, and the Choir Or
gan. Most of the Great Organ
is exposed and unclosed in the
Chancel, while the Swell and
Choir Organs are located in the
organ chamber behind the grill
and enclosed in expression boxes
with louvers to control the
loudness of these pipes as de
sired by the organist.
The console contains three
manuals or keyboards for the
hands and one keyboard for the
f a .et and is located so that the
organist faces the choirs.
The Sunday morning service
of dedication will begin with a
silent processional of organist,
choirs and minister. Following
the dedication, the organ will
first be used in leading the con
gregational hymn, “A Mighty
Fortress Is Our God”, which
was the hymn concluding use
of the former pipe organ in the
former church building. During
the service there will be several
organ solos of a worship rath
er than recital nature, yet pro
viding some indication of the
organ’s virsatility.
Sunday afttrnoon from four
o’clock until six o’clock the or
ganist, Professor W r . Darr
Wise, will be in the church to
give opportunity for those who
may wish to ask questions about
the organ or to have various
features explained. This is not
a meeting, or recital, but an in
formal come-and-go period.
The formal Dedicatory Reci
tal will be given sometime in
the month of September.
Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Hutson
