by the way.. By DORIS A. SANDERS DOCTOR' DAY Today is Doctor’s Day. Certainly there are few more deserving of recognition than the hard-working doctors of our community. I am advised that Doctor’s Day originated in Barrow County, Georgia, in l'.t33 and was introduced to the Southern Medical Association in 1934. March 30 was chosen because it was the date on which Dr. Crawford W. Long first used sulphuric ether anesthesia in surgery. Dr. Long, a native Georgian, according to the ethics of his profession, gave his discovery to relieve human suffering. Cut at the base of his statue stand ing in the flail of Fame in Washington are these words: " My profession is to me a ministry from God." We are all soni'-times inclin ed to fuss about high medical costs, fait in Newberry we are especially fortunate in having doctors who are mo 1 interested in curing the ill than iii scalping them. Perhaps it .-ometimes hard to locate a doctor when we need him hut w r should stop to eon uder that a doctor IS entitled to a little time ef hi- own and mo-t 1 >f ’ hem have Y K R Y little. It is a p!e,t<ure to jsen in n Salute today to memners of ’fa Newhery Cmnny Medical Society.

City police officer discharged Friday Sgt. John Wood, who would have completed 20 yean on the Newberry City Police force on May 5th, was no tified Wednesday of his discharge from the force, ef fective Friday, March 24. The following statiunent was issimd by Chief Colic R. Dowd: “ ('hargo.' of Petty Larceny, involving parking meter reve nues of the City of No wherry. weiv placod against Sgt. Wood on Ubdnc.'day. March 29, 1967. “It is my understanding that Sgt. Mooii has forfeited bond set !’\ the Magi Irate in this case. “ Because of the seriousness of the offense, Mr. Wood has been discharged from his duties as .-o-rgoant with the City of Newberry Police Department. Sgt. Wood was suspended thorn his position on March 24, following several month inves ligation by the local police de partment, aid'd by the State Raw Enforcement Division. According to City Manager K. Wb Ru be, a decline has l>een noticed in revenues from park ing meters for about a one year period. While it was im- pos.-ublo to give any definite figures because of new parking lots being opened, the manager noted that the month of Febru ary 19o7 bowed a decline in revenue of $87 over February 1966, although approximately so new meters had been install ed. ( hief Dowd signed a warrant Tuesday afternoon charging Sgt. Wood with petty larceny. Magistrate Eugene Shealy set bond at $100, which was for feited in the Magistrate’s Court Wednesday morning at 9:30. Manager I Hebe said that col lecting parking meter revenues was not a part of Sgt. W 00(1 > duties, except for the fine en velopes on some of the parking meters. There were three mas- tor keys to the parking meters, two of which were used by po lice officers over a year ago whon they collected the mete: revenues, the third u-vd by re pairmen. Since January I960, meter collections have been made by Jimmy Sense, retired fire de partment employee. Mr. Riebe emphasized that Mr. Sea-e wa in no way connected with the ease, nor was any other police officer or city employee involv ed. Riebe said that the key were kept locked in a safe when not in use, hut that one of the keys had been missing for some time. This key was turned over to ('hief Dowd by Sgt. Wood. Wood had been a .ergeant on the force since 1950. MRS. WILES HONORED The lectern in the new chapel at Newberry C dlege will be provided by the Faculty Wo men’s Club in honui of Mrs. A. G D. \\ lies.
