Eisenhower as its candidate for President. General Ike was admired and respected by almost everyone— but even so, there were many in South Carolina who could not bring themselves to vote for him on a Republican ticket, so an “Independents for Eisen hower” move was started. The picture had changed fantastically by the time Barry Goldwater was carrying the Republican banner. Many folks learned that the earth would continue to turn if they voted Republican and Goldwater car ried this county by a large majority. Last year, local Republicans produced a candidate for State Senate—and that candidate was elected. Now the Repub licans, locally, have nominated a full slate of candidates for city offices. To me, this indicates a con tinued disenchantment on the part of the voters with the Nat ional Democratic party. I do not feel that most of the city candidates are running as a protest against the national administration, of course — I think most of them have other reasons for running; however, the fact that they are running on the Republican ticket is an indication that people are finally beginning to realize that the “party of my grand father” has left the principles in which grandfather believed, and while those in power in the Republican party may not offer much better, they feel there might be more hope for a return to saneness than there is with the Democrats. Only time will tell. G. R. Puckett rites Monday George Russell Puckett, 86, of Whitmire, died at a Colum bia hospital after a lingering illness. Among his survivors are a son, John D.

Newberry guard units rated superior Columbia — Units of the South Carolina National Guard scored a near perfect record during their recently completed Annual Field Training (AFT) periods at seven military in stallations throughout the south. Of the 100 units complet ing AFT, 92 received “super ior” ratings. The remaining seven units barely missed reaching the superior category but were declared “excellent.” One unit was not evaluated dur ing its AFT period. All New berry units received Superior ratings. State Adjutant General Frank D. Pinckney said this year’s ratings were the highest recorded during his- nine-year tenure of office. All ratings were established by a team of officers acting on behalf of Lt. Gen. Louis W. Truman, Com manding General of THIRD U. S. Army. Ratings were determined on the basis of efficiecy in train ing, administration and supply, and reflected personnel achiev- ments in leadership, morale, initiative, and unit pride. “The ratings received this summer reflect the quality of the National Guard soldier in South Carolina today,” General Pinckney said. “These young men have unusual ‘desire’ and their attitudes toward their du ties reflect deep convictions about the sacrifices being made by thousands of Americans in Vietnam. They are determined to prepare for whatever role is required of them,” he added. The largest contingent of S. C. Guardsmen, 74 units contain ing over 7,000 members, attend ed AFT exercises at Ft. Stew art, Ga. Specialized training was given the other 24 units at Anniston Army Depot, Annis ton, Ala.; Ft. Bragg, N. C.; Tobyhanna, Pa.; Ft. Bennng, Ga.; Ft. Gordon, Ga.; and Co lumbia. The Palmetto Military Academy (PMA), South Car olina National Guard’s state officer candidate school, was the last unit to complete AFT. Thirty-two cadets received dip lomas August 4, at Ft. McClell an, Ala., and were commission ed second lieutenants. The South Carolina National Guard is composed of over 10,000 officers and men in 77 South Carolina cities.

Harvard Project Physics, a group of scientists and High school teachers from all parts of the country, is developing the instructional materials needed for a new kind of phy sics course designed for sec ondary schools. The course is intended to appeal to a wide variety of students, from the science-oriented to the science- shy, and to the large and grow ing number of students who are now taking no physics at all. Newberry High School is very fortunate that Mrs. Irons was selected as one of 41 teachers from all parts of the U. S. and Canada to partici pate in this briefing session. During the session she attended courses in the content, meth ods, and materials of Harvard Project Physics and in the History and Philosophy of Science. The work constituted the equivalent of six semester hours of graduate in-service credit. Mrs. Irons received her A.B. degree from Newberry College, her master of education degree from the University of South Carolina and has done graduate work at the University of North Carolina. During the coming school ses sion, Newberry High will be furnished the preliminary final version of the texts, laboratory readers as well as many films, transparencies and much of the laboratory equipment especially designed for the course. Financial support for the pro ject is currently being provided by the Carnegie Corporation, the Ford Foundation, the Na tional Science Foundation and the U. S. Office of Education.
