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! ”

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.

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.
