Several significant annou ncement'S were made and an important trip was undertaken—all with a view toward our State’s at tractiveness as a tourist mecca and convention center. In Columbia, two announce ments revealed separate plans for a 300-room Statler-Hilton complex near the new Carolina Coliseum project and a major convention and trade-show center at the State Fair grounds.. Just a few days ear lier, expansion plans were an nounced for the Town House Motel complex in downtown Columbia. These are tangible examples of the interest by private enterprise in furthering the State’s tourist and conven tion potentials. August 18 was also a day of signal importance. More than ‘JO South Carolinians from various walks of life hoarded a charter jet for Can ada, whore they would spend nearly a full week touring sites of interest at Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto. The ob jective: to drum up Canadian tourist trade for the Palmetto State. All persons on the trip were paying their own way, taking their own valuable time to work in travel booths and attend travel seminars, acting as ambassadors for the State of South Carolina. There these days everything sterns tc be going Union Oil’s way. At last count, the company hook ed an interest in four of the six oil fields that have been uncovered under the waters of the inlet. Offshore develop ment platforms alnadv are busily at work on two, while massive rigs are slated to be gin probing the other pair be fore the year’s out. From each of these floating mongers, I'ninn and its partner- are likely to drill 32 to 1 Swell.". is no question that these trips are effective. Since instituting these visits north of the bor der, Canadian tourist traffic to South Carolina has quadrupled! Another note of importance is the announcement that Bob Hickman, a Columbia newsman and former executive staff member in the Governor’s of fice, will take over the direc torship of the Parks, Recrea tion, and Tourism Commission. The week of August 14 will be remembered as an import ant period in South Carolina’s emergence as a healthy com petitor for the national tour ist and convention trade. Kinard attends school meeting Headmasters and other top administrative personnel from 33 member schools of the S. C. Independent School Association held their second Headmaster’s Conference on Tuesday at the Wade Hampton Academy at Orangeburg. Discussions of academic sit uations encountered by the private, college preparatory schools in the context of their rapidly increasing enrollment were featured at the Confer ence. When the Conference last met in August, 1966 there were only 24 member schools in the Association. In the past year both the number of students and new physical plants of As sociation schools have more than doubled, according to Tom Turnipseed, Executive Secre tary of the Association. Some of the subjects discussed at the Tuesday meeting were: Public relations at an Independent School, The S. C. Independent Schools Athletic Conference, Curriculum Development, Ad missions Testing and Accredi tation. Turnipseed said that the As sociation has been most for tunate in recently gaining the services of several additional highly qualified headmasters. Most of the men newly ap pointed to the Association schools came from administra tive level positions in indepen dent and public education. The present success of independent schools in this area, as well as their tremendous growth potential, was cited as one of the chief features which at tracted the new headmasters to the Association.. Taking a leading role in the Conference was Dr. James C. Kinard, President of the New berry Academy.
