Strengthening State
Goremments
A growing population and the
rapid expansion of federal pro
grams have caused many
thoughtful leaders throughout
the nation to seek effective
means of strengthening and re
vitalizing the role of State
governments.
One of the major tools we
are using in this task is the in
stitute of State Programming.
I had the privilege of attending
the Institute this past week at
Chapel Hill, X. C. Also m at
tendance were a number of
governors, former governors,
r-deral administrators, politi
cal scientists and legislators
from all over the nation.
15 per cent, made possible by
investments earned with re
tirement funds. I am hopeful
that the bill will become law
in the very near future.
Preserving History
The State Budget and Con
trol Board has approved a pre
liminary study aimed at beau
tifying the State Capitol
grounds. A comprehensive
landscaping plan will be de
veloped, and all proposals will
be coordinated with the State
Archives Department to give
major emphasis to South Car
olina history. State leaders and
historic preservation groups
have been interested in this
project for some time.
Heart Week Birthday Girl and Mother Honored—Governor Robert McNair blows out
11 candles on the birthday cake of Donna I^entz, who was born a few months after t,- .
mother, Mrs. John L. Lentz, of Columbia, had heart surgery. Mrs. Lentz has been
named Heart Mother of the Year by the South Carolina Heart Associiation as one of
those who proved that pre^nem-v need not prevent a heart operation. Donna was born
on February 25, the day before Heart Sunday when Heart volunteers throughout the
state will visit their neighbors for contributions to the Heart Fund, which support,
the kind of research that made Mrs. Lentz’s operation possible.
Conference participants were
in genera! agreement :hat the
ma n thrust of the Institute’s
work during the n*-xt two
years should be seek.ng the
best alternative methods for
budgeting and programming
procedures at the state level.
I am pleased to report that
these efforts are being closely
watched and encouraged not
only by state leaders, but by
the White House and other in
fluential federal officials.
I w IS continue to participate
actively in this and other pro
jects to strengthen the capa-
b.iities of the states to meet
the needs of our people, and
to create within state govern
ment a greater degree of pro-
fessionalsm.
Retirement Benefits
Following a recommendation
made in our State of the State
message, a bill has. now been
introduced in the General As
sembly to increase retirement
benefits for our state employ
ees. Throughout South Caroli
na, many retired teachers, for
example, are living on fixed in
comes In the face of rising
costs of living.
Under our proposal, these
former public servants would
receive an average increase of
