PAGE 8—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, July 6, 1967 BY THE WAY (Continued from page 1) Group receive superior ratings, but all officers showed up for the General's Reception in spotless white dress uniforms. It was a nice occasion and I hope we’ll have a picture to show you next week. Captain Hedgepath, who is with The Chester Reporter, is also pub licity officer for the Guard— the only trouble was that I couldn’t find him and the “dis tinguished guests” from New berry at the same time, but he did take a picture of some of the Group officers—and it should be coming in—IF some one didn't step in front of the Camera just as the picture was taken. (NOTE—The picture arrived after this column was written and. may be seen in this issue.) As Governor McNair—who was also at the reception—said, there just isn’t enough publicity given to the fine job being done by our National Guard. They’re a group of citizen-sol diers and we should be thank ful that we have them in New berry. Again I would like to express my appreciation to General Pinckney, Col Hoyt and the other officers and men of the -163rd Group for their hospi tality. NOT A GENERAL? The white dress uniforms I mentioned above are not seen often except on a military base. One of the warrant offi cers of the Guard, in his white uniform and shiny brass but tons was returning to a motel after the General’s reception on Friday night. As he passed a group of people at the motel they gave him a curious look, then one remarked, “Well, I thought it was at least General Westmoreland! ” RITZ THEATRE THURSDAY Filled with Fun, Music and Drama WALT DISNEY'S BAMBI FRIDAY, SATURDAY, MONDAY AND TUESDAY Elvis Presley, John William* Yvonne Romain The Wiere Bros.

Mill vacation is extended Newberry Mills, Inc. has an nounced one week’s curtailment in its operation. This has de veloped as a result of a trend in the textile industry in order to balance production and in ventory with sales. Newberry Mills had previously announced a reduction in operation sched ule from 6 to 5 days. After making the decision of one week’s curtailment, the company felt it would minimize the inconvenience of employees and will help in assuring steady work for the balance of the year for this curtailment period to come at the end of the one week’s vacation closing which has previously been announced. Therefore, the plant ceased operations at 8:00 a.m. on Sat urday, July 1, and operations will resume at 8:00 a.m. Mon day, July 17. Eligible employees with one to five years continuous service received two per cent of their gross annual earnings and those with five years and over received four per cent of their gross annual earnings. The total vacation payroll was $48,452.84. This is an average of $141.67 per eligible employee. Dirksen to be speaker at GOP dinner Senate Minority Leader Ev erett Dirkson of Illinois is ex pected to draw the largest crowd for a political fund raising dinner ever held in South Carolina when he speaks in Columbia on July 14. South Carolina Republicans, led by Dinner Chairman Mar shall Parker, are selling adult tickets for $25 and student tickets for $5. Dinner is to be served at 6:30 p.m., and the program begins at 8:00 p.m. at Columbia’s air conditioned Township Auditorium. Tickets can be obtained thru GOP County Chairman Thur man Adams, 8 Player Street, Newberry, telephone 276-2107, or at State Headquarters, P. O. Box 5283, Columbia The Dirksen crowd is ex pected to be swelled with stu dents and children. “We’re making this a family affair,” Parker says, “because this is a rare treat for South Carolina. Every state is trying to get the silver-tongued orator of the U. S. Senate, but he’s only com ing to South Carolina.” This will make Dirksen’s first political dinner visit in the South and his first visit to South Carolina since he was a soldier at Camp Jackson fifty years ago. To be honored at the dinner will be U. S. Senator Strom Thurmond and Congressman Albert Watson, two of a grow ing number of Southern Re publicans serving in Congress.. They led the State last year as the top vote getters. Senator Thurmond says “This is like having the Repub lican President visit South Car olina.” The Republicans are expect ing busloads to come from cities to see and hear the “na tion’s top Republican leader” who has won increasing pop ularity in South Carolina in re cent years with his key roles in stopping repeal of the right- to-work laws, killing the Pres ident’s open housing legisla tion, and in working for over turning recent decisions of the Supreme Court. In addition to his eloquent oratory, the Senator is also noted for his “unmanageable” hair” and his keen sense of humor. Carrie Moses, Rt. 2, Pomaria, six-room frame dwelling, $8000. William L.

Kendall builds new plant inAugusta The Kendall Co. will build a $5 million plant in Augusta,Ga. to manufacture surgical dress ings for hospitals and nursing homes, Kendall President Har old T. Marshall said today, “The building is being con structed.” Marshall said, “to increase our present flow of products to the hospital and nursing home, and because of the heavy demands we anti cipate from these markets in the future. Our present invest ment of $5 million in the new plant is merely for the first 200,000 square feet. In this business we have learned to expect growth, and with our design we can easily double the size of the plant in the future.” At the outset, Kendall will hire about 300 people co manu facture a variety of surgical dressings, including “Ouchless” adhesive pads, plaster bandages and many types of disposable products for hospital and nurs ing homes. Construction pn the 78-acre site will start in the fall of 1967, and completion is sched uled for the summer of 1968. Architect-engineer is Lockwood Green of Spartanburg, South Carolina.
