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

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.
