John A. Mayer, Robert D. Schumpert, Robert C. Underwood, Commissioners of Election Newberry County, South Carolina FEDERAL AID WITHOUT CONTROLS? A certain college president we know is rather unique in the U. S. academic world. Like all college administrators, he is faced constantly with the problem of how and where to obtain funds. He is especially plagued with the money dilem ma because his college is in the process of building a whole new campus. If this gentleman were like most other academic execu tives, he would approach the largest giver of free money— the Government’s Federal Aid to Education program. But as we said, this president is dif ferent. He plans to effect all of the expansion without help from the Federal government. He is Dr. John Howard, the President of Rockford College in Illinois. And the' reason that he is allergic to Federal funds is that he does not believe in Federal Aid in principle. Over the Manion Forum he explain ed his primary reasons for op posing such aid. For one thing he maintains that Federal Aid ushers in Federal control—and indeed the Supreme Court has upheld that opinion. This col umn recently listed Dr. How ard’s specific objections to such aid—but the question re mains: how are colleges to raise the millions and millions of dollars they need annually— unless they resort to Uncle Sam ? "If the Federal government INSISTS upon paying for higher education,” said How ard over the Manion Forum network, “there is a technique by which I think it can under take to pay for education. The idea is a tax credit for gifts to educational institutions. “Under this proposal any tax payer would first figure out how much he owes to the Direc tor of Internal Revenue. Then he would write two checks. If he owed $500, he could write one check for $100—and no more— if he chooses to, and send that to Notre Dame, Well esley, or a state university or a local junior college, and send the balance to Washington. If he owed the government $2,000, it would still be limited to $100 that he could send. “This would mean that each college could spend its revenue from that gift tax credit for whatever the college thought it needed most. Furthermore, it would eliminate overhead; you send us a check, we write you a receipt, it goes on your Attends meet of SCFWC Approximately 30 officers, - 1 district directors, chairmen of , departments and divisions at tended the meeting of the pro gram council of the South Carolina Federation of Wom- j en’s Clubs, held at the Wade Hampton Hotel in Columbia August 3rd.

C. 29108 liYemfenl K^KIN THE KNOW;£ By Jean Kinkead, Women's Consultanf, The Travelers Insurance Companies Family Vacation By Car The advantages of vacationing by car can be counted by the dozen. The songs sung, sights seen, picnics prepared and shared — even the oc casional disa greements—all help to create hearty family bonds. Here are some useful hints for your family jaunt. Choose a destination that sparks the family’s imagination whether it’s our nation’s capital, a sea side spot or a camping trip in the mountains. Also, as you plan your route, be sure to include out-of-the-way attractions which will combat monotony and pro vide necessary breaks. A few days before you pull out of your driveway, check to be certain that the following items are aboard: your license and registration; your certificate of insurance which verifies your coverage; an extra set of car keys; a flashlight and extra bat teries; a jhck and wrench for tire changes; your gasoline credit card; and a road flare. The Travelers experts suggest you check with your insurance agent about special insurance needs. Liability requirements vary from state to state, and you’ll want adequate coverage wherever you happen to be. Failure to comply with liability regulations of other states can result in loss of license and regis tration plates, should you become involved in an accident. Always make certain, too, that the car is locked when unattended—most in surance policies covering theft of property from inside the car are void unless the car is docked. If you’re traveling north or south of the border, ask your agent for an official certificate of insurance, and check about ade quate insurance on your belong ings and expensive holiday gear. As further help on your car vacation you can have a free glove compartment card, "What To Do In Case Of An Accident,” by writing to: Jean Kinkead, Women’s Information Bureau A, Travelers Insurance Companies, One Tower Square, Hartford, Conn. 06115. SAR board met in Greenwood The meeting of the Board of Managers of the South Caro lina Society of the Sons of the American Revolution met July 31 at Holiday Inn in Greenwood.

Jalapa Cubs at Old Indian i Cub Scout Pack 176 of Jalapa has ended their goal for Na tional Summertime Award by attending Camp Old Indian on Wednesday, August 10. Also making the trip to Camp Old Indian were the Den Mothers, Martha Edwards, Den 2, Jean ette Wakefield, Den 1, Pastor Paul Hatch, and Principal Wise of Bush River school. Leaders of Pack 176 have scheduled a planning meeting for August 28 to outline activi ties for the fall Cub Scout program. Witnesses plan for convention Jehovah’s Witnesses of the Newberry congregation are completing their preparations to form a delegation to a five- day convention of the group in Baltimore, Md. Under the direction of Tim othy L. Brooks, Rt. 2, New berry, local presiding minister, the Witnesses will be among 50,000 or more persons attend ing the “God’s Sons of Liber ty” District Assembly of Je hovah’s Witnesses, to be held in Baltimore’s Memorial Sta dium August 17-21. According to Mr. Brooks, many of the local group have arranged their vacations from secular jobs so they can attend the entire convention. "Most people spend a vaca tion at the shore or in the mountains, and they cannot conceive of families using their vacations to attend sessions of Bible talks,” he said. “It is even more difficult for them when they learn that often times the delegates volunteer to work in one of the conven tion departments. Yet to us the anrifial assembly is the highlight of the year—some thing we really look forward to.” There has to be a motive and, of course, there is. “It’s love of God and of one another,” Mr. Brooks explain ed. “Love expresses itself by action, by what it does. So a grand occasion for displaying Christian love is when we gath er together each year to be taught from God’s Word and to be instructed in Christian doctrine and practice.” Saturday is Recreation Day The Newberry Recreation Department will have its an nual City-wide Recreation Day on Saturday of this week. Events will start at Mollohon Playground at 9 a.m. with a series of field contests in three different age groups, 6-8 years, 9-11 years, and 12-14. Free snowballs will be given away during these events. Events will include sack races, piggy back races, greasly pole climb, softball throw, baseball throw, tug-o-war, and others. At 2 p.m. a series of events will be held at Margaret Hun ter swimming pool. All persons will be admitted to the pool free. Lee C. Burns dies in Valdese Lee C.

Answers To Tax Questions Q.—One of my customers told me that if I put a punch board in my bar I would have to pay a gambling tax on it. Is that dight? A.—Punch boards and simi lar devices make the business man operating them subject to a 10 per cent wagering tax. In addition, the $50 Federal oc cupational stamp tax on wag ering must also be paid. Q.—What are the rules for establishing a theft loss. My son lost a typewriter and some other items at school. A.—To establish a deduction for a theft loss you must: (1) show the date the theft was discovered; (2) show the pro perty was stolen and not lost or mislaid; (3) establish own ership; (4) show evidence of value of property; (5) show any amount taken or allowable for depreciation; and (6) show the amount of insurance or other compensation for the loss received or recoverable. Only the reimbursed amount of each theft of non-business property in excess of $100 is deductible. Q.—I got a letter from your service center asking for my Social Security number. Where should I send it—to the service center or to the district office? A.—Replies to inquiries re ceived from the service center should be sent back to the ser vice center unless the letter in dicates you should send the in formation to the district office. Q.—I just won a prize in a in a magazine contest. Is there any tax? We didn’t get money, just some home furnishings. A.—The prize you won is taxable at its fair market val ue. Prizes normally are not taxable if received in recogni tion of past accomplishments in religious, charitable, scienti fic, educational, artistic, liter ary or civic fields. Nobel and Pulitzer awards are examples of tax-free prizes. Q.—I am financing a car over a two-year period. How do I figure my deduction for in terest I pay? A.—Interest is deductible in the year it is paid. Therefore you may deduct the amount of interest you paid in 1966 if you itemize deductions when you file next year. After determining what part of your monthly payment is interest, multiply that amount by the lumber of payments you made in 1966 to obtain the am ount you may deduct for inter est on the loan. Q.—Is there any connection between the U. S. Tax Court and the Internal Revenue Ser vice? A.—None. The Tax Court of the United States is an in dependent agency. Taxpayers unable to reach an agreement with IRS over a proposed tax deficiency may petition the Tax Court to hear their case. Health Hints DANGERS of SPRINGS and WELLS A WORD OF CAUTION for picnic- kers, campers, and hikers. Do not drink from wells or springs unless they are publicly posted as safe. Though springs may look clean and fresh, they often contain di sease germs which could cause serious illness. So to protect your family on weekend outings, take along your own water supply. SWIMMING SAFELY SOME 6,000 Americans will probably drown this summer simply because they were careless. To avoid water mis haps, remember these safety rules: Never swim alone . . . don’t overestimate your abil ity and endurance . . . don’t swim immediately after eat ing or when you’re overly tired . . . and avoid unsuper vised beaches. Finally, never dive into unknown waters. Play it safe with water this j summer . . . and stay alive. MRS EPPS IMPROVING The friends of Mrs. George Epps Sr. will be glad to learn that she is improving at her apartment on Calhoun street, and is able to resume her hob by of reading. tax form and we don’t have to have all those echelons of peo ple administering programs. Third, it’s flexible; Congress could raise the ceiling to $200 or cut it to $30 according to how much money it was pre pared to divert to higher edu cation.” Dr. Howard’s plan would serve the same “aid purpose as the present Federal program, because money that would or dinarily go into government coffers would be diverted in stead directly to educational in stitutions. ALL of the $100 would go to the college, in stead of part of its being used up to pay expenses of the Fed eral Aid program. Why, then, do the planners in Washington ignore such a simple, workable plan? Be cause the Federal Government, Howard’s suggested system, would have absolutely no pow er to dictate to colleges what they could do with the aid dollars. The government does have that power now. Why not ask your candi dates for Congress what they think of this tax credit pro posal ? Their answers will in dicate their .feelings about Federal Aid—and Federal con trol. tPotLis Picnic Time Treats Here are Lazy Susan ideas whei route entertaining: All section! vith cole slawtmd tomato wedges; narinated shrimp salad; ambrosii [citrus fruits, maraschino cherrie* ind sour cream with a sprinkling tf coconut); sliced raw cauliflower sections, unpeeled cucumber and preen onions.

I have never seen such a sight as the thou sands of prisoners who were surrendering wholesale; wait ing at the various assembly points for transpotation; streaming along the roads on foot, in carts, on motorcycles, and in trucks; and gathered in the enormous prisoner of war enclosures. Borrowing a camera, I took many pictures of them, the captured material and the wreckage, but since I am a rank amateur at photo graphy, don’t know how the pictures will develop. “In some of my earlier let ters, I mentioned the great number of South Carolinians in England, but there are more over here.

He is well, looks fine and is getting along all right. I real ly enjoyed seeing both of them, and we couldn’t talk about any thing but Newberry. The next day we visited the boys from home and had another reunion. “Night before last Felix Green called me over the tel ephone. It was quite a surprise to hear his voice as I didn’t know he was in Africa. Yes terday I went to see him and we talked for several hours. He looks well and is getting along fine. “Saturday night I stayed with LL Theodore DuBose of Colum bia. He is in the Air Corps and has been overseas for some time.
