Please vote "Opposed to the Amendment” on Local Consti tutional Amendments Numbers 4, 24, 25, 2b), 27, 34 and 35. May I also urge that before you pm to the polls, you read the constitutional amendments elsewhere in this issue of The Sun. Voting time for any one person is limited to five min utes, and I can assure you you will NEVER be able to read those things in that length if time. The Greenville News, I notice, plans to carry sample ballots with instructions about marking them, etc., etc. You would do well to inform your self before next Tuesday, know how you plan to vote on each ballot (there will be six of them) so that you can get your voting done in the time allow ed. Other than the “urban re newal” amendments, there are two vote's which apply to New berry County. One will be on a separate sheet and is only a “referendum” to determine public opinion on abolishing the office of magistrates and set ting up a county court. The Bar Association of Newberry Coun ty, which should know more about this than anyone else, is opposed to this. They cannot see that it is needed at this time, nor can I. Perhaps if the city continues to grow a time will come when a juvenile or domestic relations court is needed, but it is not needed at this time and I would go along with the Bar Association in recommending an “opposed” vote on this issue. The other local issue is local constitutional amendment No. 23, which would increase the limit of bonded indebtedness of the school district from eight to 15 percent of assessed val uation of taxable property in the county. On this I merely wash to say that this is NOT a vote to sell bonds. It would al low the Board of Education to later propose a bond issue of close to one million dollars, but the Board w’ould not be able to sell the bonds until approved by the voters in a separate refer endum. If this amendment is not approved at this election, it will be two years before a vote can be taken again, hence it would be at least two years be fore the Board could propose a bond issue for school purposes.

Marshall Parker: To quote the News and Courier of Oct. 20, 1000: “Mr. Rollings is a political opportunist the likes j of which South Carolinians have not seen in many an elec tion. That he defeated in the i Democratic primary able Sen- | ator Russell on the issue of op portunism is hitter irony in deed.

I Joe Rogers: \ shows that Joe highly regarded ! home community; he, too is a ! well-known and capable legis- | lator and will be a fine gover- j nor. Even without these reas- : ons, I could not vote for the in- | cumbent governor, McNair. I I cannot stomach his methods of I using state departments, state committees, etc. for his politi- ical purposes nor can 1 stomach his ties with the National Dem ocratic administration: notably, jumping on the Ladybird Spec ial, and contributing $1000 to the national party. Marshall Mays: On this one I will admit to knowing little about John West, and perhaps he is capable; however, I do know Marshall Mays. He is a fine young man from a fine family. His father, Calhoun Mays, has been an outstanding lawyer in Greenwood for many years and is highly respected; his son follows in his footsteps. Mr. Mays has perhaps traveled this state more, met m ore plant shifts and shaken more hands than any other candidate in the state. He is a hard-work ing, a man of ability and in telligence, and knowing these things about him, he gets my vote.

The offices of two United : States Senators, Governor, I Lieutenant Governor, Superin- l tended of Education, State 'Treasurer (and other state wide offices where there is no opposition); also the office of Congressman will be on one ballot. A second ballot is provided for choosing two State sena tors to represent senatorial {district No. 22; and a third for i county offices. The local i-eferendum ballot asks “Shall the offices of the schools.” It was pointed out by Ralph Watkins, director of county schools, that approval of this amendment does NOT give the school district authority to sell bonds.

The public is invited. This will be the second pro gram in the 1966-1967 New berry College Arts and Lec tures Series. Mi ss Siedzieniewska, spon sored by the National Music League, is on a return recital tour of the United States. She first came in 1964 for her de but recitals. She will play an all Chopin program which was highly praised during her first tour here. Halina (as most of her Am erican audiences learned to call her) began her studies in 1945 in her native Warsaw. She was graduated with honors from the School of Music in Warsaw in 1958. She went on to become a prizewinner at the Mozart Competition in Kato wice. While still a student, Miss Siedzieniewska embarked upon her artistic career, giving con certs in Warsaw and other ci ties in Poland. During this period, she played with S. C. Highway Patrolman D. A. Keighley said John Martin, 169 of Rt. 2, Carlisle, was pro nounced dead on arrival at Newberry County Memorial I Hospital. 1 John A. Mayer, 90, of Route 2, Pomaria, driver of a 1967 Dodge, was admitted to the hospital for treatment of in juries received in the accident, Reighley said. Martin was driving a 1953 Buick west on the highway when it collided with the Mayer car traveling east, the patrol man said. Reighley said the accident occured on a curve. Mayer was alone in his car. Theodore Byrd, 11, and Willie Byrd, 51, of Rt. 1, Winnsboro ,passengers in the Martin car, were treat ed at the hospital and released. Coroner George R. Summer said that an inquest will be scheduled at a later date. orchestras of the National Philharmonic in Warsaw, the State Philharmonic in Krakow and Poznan, and gave broad cast recitals on Polish radio and television stations. Following a concert in Gaff ney, the Gaffney Ledger said: “Miss Siedzienwiewska produc ed many moments the large and responsive audience will long remember. ” A reception will be held in Smeltzer Hall following the the j concei t. An impressive dedicatory ser vice was held Sunday afternoon at Newberry Academy, Inc. Patrons of the school and a large number of friends of the Academy and interested citiz ens gathered under sunny skies to participate in the service, and later to inspect the build ing and classrooms. Dr. James C. Kinard, presi dent of the Academy, welcomed the audience and paid high tri bute to the many who had giv en selflessly of time and fin ance to get the Academy off to a good start. He introduced G. Thomas Turnipseed of Or angeburg, who brought greet ings from the South Carolina ! Independent School Associa tion, Inc. Mr. Turnipseed told | of the successes of other pri- ! vate schools in the state. He j said the goal of private schools was to provide quality educa tion in an atmosphere where students could still have de votions, where prayer and Bible reading had not been out lawed by decisions of the Su preme court. Private schools are operated by the people of the commun ity, Mr. Turnipseed said, and not by the federal government. “It all boils down to whether you had rather have your school run by men such as Gene Griffith, Dr. King, and Maxcy Stone (the directors) or by Mr. Harold Howe,” the speaker said. Rev. Thomas G. Daum, pres ident of the Newberry County Ministerial Association and pastor of Bush River Baptist church, led in the dedicatory service. The American flag which lent a patriotic note to the occasion was one which had draped the casket of a former service man. It waa a gift to the Academy from the young man’s mother. Tax clinic to be conducted A specially designed one-day Tax Clinic for owners of small businesses will be conducted on Tuesday, November 22 at the College of Business Admini stration, University of South Carolina.
