Urges return
of Easter
Seal letters
Crippling is the nation’s
foremost health problem, a
problem that gets worse every
year, according to Phil Kelly,
local Easter Seal Chairman,
who announced that the 1967
campaign has been on since
February 20.
“The best estimate of the
number of Americans suffering
from severe crippling conditions
is 27,345,000,” Kelly stated.
“The most severe should be
especially noted. For instance,
6,500,000 persons suffer sev
erely from arthritis and they
are included in the foregoing
total. But another 5,500,000
afflicted somewhat less ser
iously are not included.”
Kelly pointed out that the
nroblem of crippling grows
larger every year because one
baby in every 10 born comes
into the world with a substan
tial physical, mental or chem
ical defect, thus adding 250,000
annually to the ranks of the
handicapped.
“In addition about 370,000
persons are permanently dis
abled by accidents each year,”
he said. “Roughly 5 per cent
of all long-range disability is
the home, traffic and other
places.
“Further emphasizing the
importance of the problem is
the fact that some 5,300,000
long-term disabled persons are
unable to work or carry or.
other activities on a regular
basis. An additional 10,000,000
either too young or too old
for the labor market, are also
in this category.”
“All of the funds raised
through Easter Seal Letters
and Coffee Day Campaigns in
Newberry county, with the ex
ception of 10 per cent which
goes to finance a national pro
gram of research, public edu
cation, and professional consul
tation, remain within the state
and county for direct service
programs giving treatment to
the crippled.” Kelly pointed
out.
Those interested in this pro
gram are reminded to send
in their contributions immed
iately. If one did not receive
a letter with the Easter Seals,
they may send their contribu
tions to J. Dudley French.

Christian Science
Easter broadcast
The second in a series of
Christian Science Easter broad
casts will be heard over Radio
Station WKDK at 6:45 March
15. “Prayer and Spiritual Heal
ing Movement, Part II” throws
fresh light on the elements of
the prayer that heals. Included

ing.
River stocked
with fishing
size trout
COLUMBIA—7000 catchable
size rainbow trout will be re
leased in the Saluda river be
low Lake Murray Monday, the
first of a series that will in
volve the release of 20,000
trout, the Wildlife Resources
Department announced today.
The trout, reared in the U.
S. Fish and Wildlife Service
hatchery above Walhalla, will
be released just below the dam
and down stream on the west
bank.
The schedule calls for 7000
more the first week of April;
5000 the first week in May and
1000 in September. No trout
will be stocked during the
summer months, since it was
found that few people fish the
river in hot weather.
One thousand of the trout
will be tagged and all persons
catching tagged fish are urged
to turn in the tags to the Wild
life Resources Denartment.
This will lead to information
treasurer of the local Crippled
Children’s Society.
on the success of the program
and whether it should be con
tinued. Last year 21 percent
of the tags were turned in,
considerably lower than the
known number of tagged fish
that were caught. Since the
success of the program will
be judged by the number of
tags turned in, failure to turn
in tags might lead to a stop
in the stocking program.
The trout will survive only
in the cold drawoff water from
the bottom of Lake Murray,
which remains cold for some
distance down stream. Although
the stretch of river has been
stocked for several years there
has been no evidence of re
production, although the rate
of growth of the released fish
has been much greater than in
the mountain streams.

connection with the shooting,

Folk, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. D. P. Folk of Newberry,
was named winner in the Girls
Division of the State Youth-
power Contest held here in
Farm Bureau Headquarters on
March 3rd and 4th.
Out of a group of 10 pro
jects in the Girl’s Division,

good eating habits and nutri
tion for teens, and warned
them of the dangers inherent
in improper diets.
This was the third consecu
tive Youthpower Contest for

and other interested groups and
coordinated by South Carolina
Farm Bureau.
The sponsoring group on a
national basis is the National
Food Conference, which repre
sents the food industry. The
national meeting, which will be
held in Chicago on March 29-
April 1, brings together nearly
