PAGE 8—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, July 20, 1967 Cyclists must wear helmets South Carolina motorcycle operators and passengers are advised by the State Highway Department that a law which became effective July 1 requires the wearing of Helmets and goggles or face shields at all times while driving or riding on motorcycles. The new law provides that the Highway Department must approve helmets, goggles and face shields to be worn. As yet, no equipment has been approv ed for use in South Carolina. However, in compliance with the law, the Department is currently attempting to obtain approval of face shields, gog gles and helmets, and a list of approved items will be publiciz ed as soon as it is compiled. Meanwhile, all operators and riders of motorcycles are ad vised to obtain and wear the best helmets and goggles they can get. Operators and passengers riding motorcycles equipped with approved wind screens are not required by the law to wear goggles or face shields. Every person riding on a motorcycle must wear a helmet, however. Before helmets, goggles and face shields can be approved by the Highway Department, man ufacturers must submit to the Department favorable test re ports from acceptable indepen dent laboratories, together with samples of the equipment being submitted for approval. The helmet and goggle leg islation was enacted by the General Assembly when the death toll from motorcycle acc RITZ THEATRE THURSDAY, FRIDAY and SATURDAY Roy Orbison, Sammy Jack- son, Maggie Pierce, Joan Freeman THE FASTEST GUITAR ALIVE MONDAY, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY Sandy Dennis, Eileen Heck- art, Ruth White, Jean Stapleton, Roy Poole UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE Clover Leaf THURSDAY HELL ON WHEELS Marty Robbins, Connie Smith FRIDAY & SATURDAY TARZAN AND THE VALLEY OF GOLD Mike Henry, David Opatashu SUNDAY, MONDAY AND TUESDAY “ A L F I E ” Michael Caine, Shelly Win ters, Millcent Martin Always a Color Cartoon idents rose to the highest level in history.

I. home loans increased from 378 in May to 423 in June, the Veter ans Administration reported today. The 12 percent increase over the preceding month also represented a 48% increase ov er June 1966. 321 of the applications were from post-Korean Conflict vet erans eligible under the 1966 G. I. Bill, the VA pointed out. Starts on homes built with VA G. I. loans were also up to 89 in June from 84 in May. Appraisal requests for new homes reduced slightly — 252 in June compared to 255 in May, John I. Findley, Loan Guaranty Officer, Columbia VA Regional Office, said. Appraisal requests for existing homes fell 18% to 215 in June, representing an increase of 63% over the same month a year ago. Game wardens now have new designation Columbia, July - The old, “Now listen, Warden,” will be heard no more as hunters and anglers explain just how they happened to be violating some game or fish regulation. From now on it will be, “Now listen, Conservation Officer,” the current General Assembly having changed the title of the men enforcing the state’s game and fish laws. Badges carrying the new title have been ordered but it is not known how long it will be before they arrive. The new title will also apply to commercial fisheries inspect ors, who were recently trans ferred to the Division of Game of the Wildlife Resources De partment. The change places all law enforcement personnel un der Director James W. Webb and gives the conservation of ficers equal authority in en forcing both the game and fish laws and those dealing with co mmercial fisheries. Chairman Clyde Eltzroth of the Wildlife Resources Com mission pointed out that prev iously wardens enforced only the game and fish laws and in spectors the commercial fisher ies laws. Eltzroth said that the former fisheries inspectors would still be assigned primarily to en forcement of the commercial fisheries laws and will operate under a supervisor as do the wardens—pardon, aonservation officers—in the eight law en forcement districts. All conser vation officers will be available, however, to enforce all game & fish laws. Eltzroth said one of the prin cipal reasons for the transfer of law enforcement duties was to give Dr. G. Robert Lunz, di rector of the Division of Com mercial Fisheries and Bears Bluff Laboratories, more time for management and research. County native rites Monday Mrs. Mary Epting Edgeworth of Columbia died Saturday in Baptist hospital. Mrs. Edgeworth was a native of this county and a graduate of Newberry college.

Archives dept, open new hours • New night and weekend hours have been announced for the Search Room at the South Carolina Department of Arch ives and History, according to Director Charles E. Lee. The Archives, 1430 Senate Street in Columbia, will be open to re searchers from 9 a. m., Monday through Saturday of each week and from 1 p. m. to 9 p. m. Sun days. The Archives contains mill ions of documents resulting from the last 300 years of S. C. government of the Proprietary, Royal, Post-Revolution, and Confederate Periods, amounting 30,000 cubic feet of records. Among these are the older land and probate records of the S. C. counties, microfilm records from the British Public Record office on South Carolina, when it was part of the British Em pire, and records from the na tional Archives in Washington, notably on military rendered by South Carolinians. Individuals interesting in genealogy find “ancestor hunt ing” in the Archives a very en joyable pursuit. In ever-increas ing numbers, the public is be ginning to make researching family backgrounds a popular pasttime. For example, during the Royal Period, individuals or groups petitioned governor and council for land when first ar riving in South Carolina. By checking dates of original land grants and surveys, petitions can often be found in the Coun cil Journals proving the origin of families in Ireland, England, Scotland, Germany, Switzerland or France. Many of the records are in dexed and cross referenced. In tracing family lines names can be found in deeds of land, mort- gagets of slaves or property, marriage notices or settlements, wills, Revolutionary War Ac counts, pension records, citizen ship petitions, census schedules and many other kinds of doc uments. Local and National scholars use the records in studying ori gins of South Carolina and Am erican Institutions. Recent work has been and is being done by scholars on the Revolutionary and Reconstruction Periods and Colonial regiments in South Carolina. HOSPITAL PATIENTS Addison, Alonzo B. City Amick, James A.
