PAGE 8—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Dec. 14, 1967 BY THE WAY (Continued from page 1) Quite frankly, I use that block of McKibben Street, go ing to Main, frequently and it will be a nuisance to me to have that block one way. However, I DID NOT oppose it when an overall plan for one-way traffic for the city was proposed. Some councilman (I don’t recognize all these voices yet) made the statement that if a shopping center were to open near the city, the stores in town would be vacant. That is so right. When merchants refuse to go along with a plan to make it EASIER for people to shop in the city, of course they are go ing to look elsewhere. If this council wants to make a name for itself, it might as well decide right now to quit nit-picking and really go to work to find out what will help the MAJORITY of New berry voters and taxpayers. DESERVED TRIBUTE A party was given last Fri day night by the Mayor, Coun cil and interested friends to honor retired Mayor Ernest H. Layton. It was a lovely affair, and to climax the evening, a beautiful color television was presented to the former Mayor and Mrs. Layton. There are many people (and I’m among them) who took is sue Avith Ernest Layton about various things while he served the city as councilman and as Mayor. No governing officer ever pleases everybody all the time. But one thing I can say: no other official of this city has ever given the time or done as much for the city as Ernest Layton has during his tenure of office. One not closely associat ed with the office has no idea of the time required to run it. It isn’t just a matter of a coun cil meeting one a month. That would be easy. It would be my bet that not many days have passed during the past four or five years that SOMETHING was done by Mr. Layton in his capacity as Mayor, for he serv ed during the “growth period” of the city and many, many con- RITZ THEATRE THURSDAY Jack Lemmon, Peter Falk, Elaine May Luv FRIDAY & SATURDAY Bob Hope, Phyllis Diller, Jonathan Winters, Shirley Eaton 8 On The Lamb MONDAY & TUESDAY Jane Fonda, Peter McEnery The Game Is Over Clover Leaf FRIDAY & SATURDAY Rough Night In Jericho Dean Martin, George Pep- pard, Jean Simmons SUNDAY Good Times Sonny and Cher, George Sanders Always A Color Cartoon Chalmers Brown dies Thursday at hospital Chalmers Brown, 75, died Thursday at the Newberry County Memorial Hospital af ter a short critical illness.
