Sales, earnings
up for Kendall
The Kendall Company increas
ed both sales and earnings for
the second quarter of 1967,
President Harold T. Marshall
said. Earnings for the 12-week
period moved up by 9.7 per
cent to $1,920,000 or 60 cents
per common share, from the
$1,751,000 or 55 cents per com
mon share posted last year.
For the year to date, earn
ings of $3,748,000 or $1.18 per
common share, compared with
$1.14 per share last year.
Sales of $42,500,000 for the
second quarter were three per
cent ahead of the comparable
quarter last year and four per
cent higher than the first quar
ter of this year. For the first
half of the year, sales volume
was three percent above the
same period last year.
Marshall said that “continu
ing strength in sales of hospi
tal products, nonwoven fabrics
and consumer products enabled
Kendall to record this progress,
despite reduced market demand
in the apparel trades and for
certain industrial products.”
“Any upswing in the econ
omy,” he said, “together with
the customary seasonal strength
in our business starting in mid
summer, should enable us to
show further improvement in
the year-to-year comparison of
sales volume.”

Historic tour
arranged for
low-country
A historic tour of 13 private
plantations, houses and church-
island on July 15.
Pawley’s Island, one of the
oldest inhabited islands in the
Carolinas was once part of a
colony established by pros
perous rice and indigo planters
around the time of the Ameri
can Revolution.
The spirit of romance and
splendor that marked the rice
age in the South Carolina Low-
country is still wrapped up in
the beautiful Waverly plantat
ion. It was originally establish
ed in 1750, partly through pur
chase and a land grant from
King George 11 of England.
One of the most interesting
stops on the tour is the All
Saint’s Parish Waccamaw
Church, framed in the eerie
beauty of moss-draped live oak
trees. In this parish lived Ben
jamin Huger who entertained
both Baron Dekalb and Lafay
ette when they first arrived in
America. Other distinguished
people who either lived or visit
ed Pawley’s Island were the
ducts.
Laboratory testing of ice
cream and frozen desserts is
being conducted extensively
throughout the summer months.
“This is the time when a lot
of ice cream is consumed
throughout the states,” pointed
out Commissioner of Agricul
ture William L. Harrelson, “&
our Department is interested n
seeing that these products sold
in South Carolina meet our
state requirments for weight
and content.”
“Overall, our test results
have been good, but there have
been some products which we
have found to be deficient in
either fat content or weight per
gallon. Steps have been taken
to see that these deficiencies
are corrected by the manufuac-
turer. They were not extremely
bad, but more than there should
have been for the benefit of the
consumer and our manufactur
ers are cooperating to remedy
these mistakes.”
State standards set up defini
tions for ice cream, frozen cus
tard, ice milk, milk sherbert, ice
or ice sherbert and imitation
ice cream according to ingred
ients, milk fat content and
weight per gallon. Ice cream
for example, is defined as “the
pure, clean frozen product made
from a combination of two or
more of the ingredients such as
milk products, eggs, water and
sugar with harmless flavoring,
with or without harmless color
ing and with or without added
stabilizer composed of whole
some edible material.” Ice
cream must weigh not less than
four and one-fourth pounds to
the gallon.
These standards also describe
frozen dessert as “the food pre
pared by freezing while stirring
a pasturized mix composed of
edible food fats, milk solids not
fat, sugar or other sweeteners
and flavor or flavoring. Other
frozen dessert ingredients are
defined in the state requirment
as well as the labeling of the
containers and the package size
in which it may be sold.
Samples for the ice cream &
frozen dessert testing are ob
tained by field inspectors from
the Department who makes
purchases at both dairy bars &
retail establishments over the
state. The samples are brought
to the lab in insulated, dry ice
containers where the individual
containers are weighed in their
frozen state and then allowed
to melt at room temperature
for chemists to begin various
analysis to see that the pro
ducts adhere to state standards
“We are interested in seeing
that ice cream and frozen dess
erts purchased in South Car
olina are the best available any
where,” declared Commissioner
Harrelson, “and this is one of
the main reasons for the testing
program that we are conduct
ing on them.”

Disciple Making
theme for meet
of Witnesses
Newberry delegates who will
attend the district convention of
Jehovah’s Witnesses in Ashe
ville, North Carolina, July 6—9,
will be keenly interested in the
development of the assembly
theme “Disciple Making” acc
ording to Timothy L. Brooks,
presiding minister of the New
berry Congregation.
“Jehovah’s Witnesses are
strong advocates of the Bible,”
he said, “and this theme in
dicates we will be getting much

ing Bible principles as a way
of life.”
