More parking lots

By DORIS A. SANDERS
THE CONSTITUTION
I have been asked to remind
you that the week of Septem
ber 17-23 is known as “Consti
tution Week.” Elsewhere in
this issue you will see excerpts
of a talk on the subject by Dr.
James C. Kinard at a meeting
of Jasper Chapter, DAR; you
will also notice that Spectator
is again on the subject of the
Constitution, that being one of
his pet themes.
It is a little disheartening
when one thinks of the perver
sion of this document in recent
years. The Supreme Court of
the United States goes its
merry way, making decisions
without so much as a thought
as to their constitutionality:
there is no way to curb the
arrogant power which has been
usurped by the Court except
through the Congress and ap
parently the Congress is fear
ful of losing votes of minority
groups, communists and crim
inals if they take action against
the Court.
Perhaps one day the Court
will so overstep itself as to
even disturb the so-called “lib-
orals" of this country; then
and then only will there be a
hope for return to constitu
tional government.
THE CARDACE
1 know most of you are con
cerned, irritated, even angry,
perhaps, about the quality of
trash and garbage collection in
the city. Have you ever thought
that maybe you’re responsible
for some of it?
I have had my rounds with
the city manager about this
situation—but at the present,
I’m not complaining, even
though the garbage collectors
usually leave litter in front of
the house when they take up
the garbage. I’m not complain
ing because I know' that it is
almost imposibie for the city
to get workers for the garbage
detail—and if you are won
dering why I might be holding
you ( and me) responsible, it
is because we allow those who
COULD be working at such
jobs to get free government
hand-outs. Why work if the
money is coming without work
ing? What have we done to
help stop the tide of govern
ment money flowing to the
lazy, to the irresponsible, to
the bums who might work if
they were forced to do so in
order to eat?
It is not only the city that
is suffering. Probably most of
you who run businesses find
it almost imposibie to find
anyone who is willing to work,
especially if the work involves
manual labor of any kind.
Even those who are willing
to put in eight hours are always
looking for something “easier”
to do. I am informed that
the city has lost seven em
ployees to "easier" work from
the scavenger detail in the last
couple of weeks.
So, try not to be TOO hard
on the city. Those in charge
are certainly trying. They are
part of the city too, and are
just as interested in keeping
the city clean as you are but
if there’s no one to do it, thats
that.
1.10HT VOTE
As you will notice elsewhere,
there was a very light vote
cast in the Democratic primary
Tuesday to nominate city of
ficials. I don’t think that’s an
indication of little interest in
city administration — but an in
dication that most folks are
just going to w'ait for Novem
ber to decide on a future coun
cil. One thing is certain: we
will have an interesting array
of candidates to choose from
when November comes around.
It would be my guess at this
time that there won’t be much
“straight-ticket” voting, ex
cept by the dyed-in-the-wool
Democrats and the same-type
Democrats are
nominated for
City Council
Clarence A. Shealy Jr., un
opposed for the Democratic
nomination for mayor, and six
candidates were nominated to
City Council posts in the mu
nicipal primary election Tues
day.
L. D. Gardner Jr led the
councilman ticket with bb2
votes, followed by Carman
Bouknight, (187; Robert Coats,
(158; Cecil E. Kinard, the only
incumbent councilman in the
race, (174; Claude Partain, (KU)
and W. E. Taylor Jr.. (152. The
losing candidate was Hal Kohn
who received TJh votes. The
primary winners were declared
nominees of the Democratic
party at a meeting of the Dem
ocratic executive committee on
Tuesday night.
The winning candidates will
face a full slate of Republican
candidates, nominated in con
vention, in the November gen
eral election.
Mr. Shealy will be opposed
for the office of mayor by
Herschel Kemper. Republican
candidates for council seats are
Robert E. Summer Jr., Preston
McAihany, S. H. McConnell,
Thurmond Adams, C. D. Cole
man and George W. Martin.
Curtis D. Long
dies Tuesday
Curtis D. Long, (11, died
Tuesday after a brief illness.
He was a native of Newberry
county, son of the late Wm.
and Ida Baker Long and was
maintenance man at the Old
School Mfg. Co. He was a
deacon and superintendent of
the Sunday School of Bethel
Baptist church.
Surviving are his wife, Mrs.
Mary Shealy Long; two son.-,
T. Sgt. Young Derhuix Long
and T. Sgt. William W. Long;
two brothel s, Hance Long, of
Prosperity and Furman Long-
id' Rock Hill; five sisters, Mrs.
Ruth Bowers and Mrs. C. B
Counts, Prosperity, Mrs. Cai
rie Williamson of Washington,
D. (’., Mrs George Boland ot
Newberry and Mrs. Ronald
A mirk of Clinton.
Republicans. Newbci nan-., for
the most part, are independent
voters who ai e not bound by
party labels not even by the
I (emorrat lain 1 any more. This
should be one <d the most in
teresting city elections we’ve
had in many a year
NEW ELECTION
On t he subject of elections,
we will have a new-type elec
tion in the county next year,
when four members of the
County Board of Education will
be seated by election rather
than by appointment. The re
maining three members will be
appointed by the County Board
of Commissioners.
It is to be hoped that we will
have candidates of ability and
integrity seeking these Board
seats. I have heard of one or
two prospects for the job but
just thought I would mention
this subject far in advance so
if YOU feel like taking on some
responsibility for running the
county schools, this will be
your opportunity.
Another off-street parking
lot is in prospect for down
town merchants and shoppers
as city council Tuesday night
gave first reading to an ordi-
ance to purchase property be
hind Main Street for this pur
pose.
The property is located t<>
the rear of Main Street busi
nesses between Lindsay and
(’ol lege, adjacent to the con r i -
house and owned by R. B.
Baker A warehouse, foimerly
used by Maxwell Bros Lind
say is located on the site. The
$3(),()(•() purchase price would
be paid over a period of fivt
years, City Manager Ken Riebe
stated. He said the project is
another step in the city's mas
ter plan for off-street parking.
Council also voted to pur
chase a crawler-loader machine
at a cost of $21,318 and a 15-
ton trailer for transporting the
machine at a cost of $2,51)4.
The tractor will be used for
earth moving jobs.
The purchase of two dump-
hopper trucksters at a cost of
$5,000 for use in garbage col
lection was approved. The
trucksters will be able to pick
up garbage from about thirty
houses in one trip for dumping
into packer trucks, the
manager said.
city
Council also
agreed to
buy
10,()()() plastic
liners for

huge cans in a
testing program
to determine i

hi other action, council ap
proved a request by R. C. Lake,
attorney for the Newbm i \

to adopt a resolution to be
submitted to the S ('. I’libhc

In the Dodge line Chrysler

latter of which perhaps shows
more change than the other

The second generation Char

Designed as a full-size sports
