ZIP Code will help put ZIP
in your Christmas mail.
This year more than ever be
fore, the use of ZIP Code is
essential to efficient delivery of
the more than eight billion
pieces of holiday mail that will
be handled by the Postal Ser
vice just before Christmas.
Postmaster Moose today ur
ged all residents of the New
berry area to make a concert
ed effort to include the five
digit number in both the ad
dress and return address.
ZIP Code helps cut down the
number of times a piece of
mail must be sorted before it
reaches its final destination
This saves time in delivery and
cuts down the cost of moving
the mail.
“We expect a record break
ing mail volume this Christ
mas and will need all the help
we can get,” Postmaster Moose
said. “There are three easy
ways in which you can coop
erate with the Postal Service
and at the same time assure
that you get on-time delivery
for your holiday gifts and
greetings. You should shop
•early, mail early, and use ZIP
Codes.”

* ZIP Codes for addresses used
most often can be obtained
, from the ZIP Code directory in
; the post office lobby or by
phone. The ZIP Code informa
tion number is 276-3521.
“Probably the easiest method
of getting the ZIP Codes you
need is to check the return ad
dresses on the mail you re
ceive from your correspondents.
In most cases the proper ZIP
Code has been included. Then
you should transcribe the codes
into your address book,” the
Postmaster said. “Remember,
mail moves the country—ZIP
Code moves the mail.”

W. E. TURNER
JEWELER
1103 Caldwell St. Newberry, S. C.
The party that shows us a
purpose to fulfill will be the
one to succeed in the future,
Dr. H. Harrison Jenkins, assoc
iate editor of The Columbia
Record, told Newberry College
students Thursday.
“Americans and South Caro
linians are a restless, unsatis
fied people in 1966,” he said.
“The party that succeeds in 19-
68 will not be the one that pro
mises comfort, plenty and se
curity; but the party that re
discovers us, as individuals, and
invites us to a long journey,
however dark and suffering,
down a new path to a rediscov
ery of individual and national
purpose.”
Dr. Jenkins expressed the op
inion that the main contribu
tion of the late President Ken
nedy was that he was begin
ning to give the people of the
United States some sense of
purpose. He pointed to Ken
nedy's famous quote, “Ask not
what your country can do for
you, but what you can - do for
your country,” and said that
any nation whose people take
out more than they put in will
collapse.
The editor analyzed the 1966
elections, and commented that
the “Republican tidal wave
that swept the United States
was but a gentle swell in South
Carolina. Outlining the drama
tic GOP gains nationally. Dr.
Jenkins said that Republicans
made no major breakthroughs
in South Carolina statewide of
fices, held the two seats of
Senator Thurmond and Cong
ressman Watson in the national
congress and elected two dozen
members of the South Carolina
General Assembly.
“Although the election of
the state legislators may seem
minor,” he said “the two-party
system must be built from the
bottom up; not from the top
down. And if Republicans in
the General Assembly display
to the yoters some advantages
of two-party competition, the
GOP will gain in 1968.”
Mrs. Oxner, 68,
dies Monday
Mrs. Molly Baker Oxner, 68,
of the Newberry - Whitmire
Highway, widow of Tom P.
Oxner, died late Monday night
at a local hospital after a long
illness.
Born in Whitmire, daughter
of the late William T. and Mary
Wicker Baker, she was a re
tired textile worker.
Surviving are a daughter,
Mrs. Major (Lillian) Owens of
Whitmire; two brothers, Mal
colm Baker of Whitmire and
Cay Baker of Newberry; six
grandchildren and one great
grandchild.
Funeral services were con
ducted Wednesday at 3 p.m. at
the home by Rev. Vernon West.
Burial was in Beth-Eden Lu
theran Church Cemetery.

New look on
Main Street
Newberry awakened Satur
day morning with a new look
in the heart of the business
section, for during the night,
25 very handsome planted urns
had been placed on both sides
of Main street, from Holman to
Nance. This further contribu
tion to the attractiveness of
pearing in a leading role.
The production is choreogra
phed and directed by Ann Bro-
die of Columbia. The “Nut
cracker” will be strged at the
Dreher H:gh school Friday at
8 p.m. and Saturday at 3:00
p.m. Tickets will be on sale at
the door and children under 12
will be admitted free when
accompanied by adults.
the business section was a con
tribution from the Civic League
with city officials cooperating,
without which it would have
been most difficult to finance
this project. The urns are plant
ed with the new small leaf cor-
nuta holly, which bears large
red berries and is very durable
and well-selected for this use.
A study was made of each
of the blocks selected and
placement was made by meas
urement, with no planter set
at any particular spot except
where the measurement indi-
j cated. In this way uniformity
i was obtained, and should others
be placed later by the Civic
, League or any other organiza-
i tion or individual, they will be

lining. A harmonizing cotton in a paisley print covers
the chair. Both fabrics are vat-dyed and have stain-re
sistant finishes. By Waverly.
