PAGE 8—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, May 18, 1967 BY THE WAY (Continued from page 1) Or let’s see how much you spent upkeeping one youngster in military uniform. House $55.10 a month. Food, $30.27 a month. Clothing upkeep, $4.20 a month. That comes to $1,- 074.84 a year Are they not cheaper by the dozen? How in the world do you ex pect parents to provide all these things, plus clothes, rec reation, books, medicine—for $600 a year. With your figures you admit that it can’t be done. Is it possible, Uncle, that you expect us parents to manage more efficiently than you, be cause we usually do. With all our expenses, we American individuals have more than enough savings to offset our debts; you don’t. With all our responsibility, you, Uncle, are still spending per year $2.9 billion more for relief than during the depths of the depression. So it may be that you are uncommonly extravagant. But however we try to rat ionalize and explain you, it is still a hurtful affront when you allow us hard working, dues- paying home folks only $600 a year to rear a legitimate child—while you, under ADC, will pay more than $800 a year to upkeep illegitimate ones. There’s something rotten here —and we are not in Denmark! Husrh Shannon’s sister dies Mrs. Virginia Shannon Law- son, 53, wife of O. H.

General Lewis B. Hershey, the National Director of Selec tive Service, had announced that plans for conducting a Sel ective Service College Qualifi cation Test for high school seniors and college students this fall have been cancelled. The National Director stated this decision was based upon the uncertain future relating to college student deferments. Until the matter is resolved, he said, is has been deemed ad visable to defer plans for ad ditional tests. High school seniors and other students who had planned to take the test this fall, and who may be concerned over the effects the action might have on their classification sta tus, are reminded the tests have never been mandatory. Current provisions of the Uni versal Military Training and Service Act, as amended, pro vide that a student deferment shall not be based solely upon the results of the test. Other criteria are also considered, in cluding a student’s class stand ing as reported by college of ficials to local draft boards, and a decision as to whether his activity in study is full time, satisfactory and neces sary to the maintenance of the national health, safety, or in terest. 4-H POULTRY BAR-B-CUE A poultry bar-b-cue demon stration will be held for all senior 4-H club members on Thursday afternoon, May 18, at 3:30 p.m. at Mollohon Park.

Adams begins business here Thomwell (Thorn Adams who was born in Newberry and spent the first 38 years of his life here has recently come back to Newberry. Seventeen years ago he went to Orlando, Flor ida where he was an associate with his brother, now deceased, Matt Adams. They were en gaged in the sign business and made a fine success in this business. While in Orlando he did gen eral sign work, working in various mediums, such as metal, plywood, plastics, mas onite and wood. His firm, the Wildwood Sign Co. was organ ized in 1930 and had a very large following in the Orlando area. They built in their own shop signs of every conceiv able size and shape, with the largest one they ever put up measured 14 by 80 feet. Most of their signs were hand let tered but metal, plastic, and letters made of other materials were often used. In the seven teen years Adams has had val uable experience in every phase of the sign business. “Thorn” as he is known to his friends, has come back to Newberry to make his home and will engage in the making of every type sign and other mediums of publicity. Show cards, banners, silk screen work and processed signs will be available as well as all kinds of wooden signs, which will be made to the customers desires. At the present the shop is located at his brother in-law’s on Route 2, but will be moved to a central location as soon as the proper place is located. In the meantime he will call on any one interested in sign information. He may be reach ed at 276-3399.
