PAGE 8—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Jan. 11, 1968 BY THE WAY (Continued from page 1) teachers be certified in the subject matter or grade in which they teach. I think you might be interested to know who these excellent faculty members are, whose services have been lost to the Newberry schools: Mrs. Jeanette Martin, 1st grade; Mrs. Nettie Johnston, second grade; Mrs. Ruby Plum- blee (whose son, Tommy, is president of the student body at Newberry High School), third grade; Mrs. Shirley Bish op Mills, fourth grade; Miss Ellie Farr, whose home is in Little Mountain, fifth grade; Mrs. Sudie Wicker, who was principal of Monticello school until it closed, reading in 6th, 7th and 8th grades; Mrs. Mel vin Riggs, whose husband is a professor at Newberry College, math in 6th, 7th and 8th grades and Mrs. Harriet Sligh, science in those three grades. In addition, the music teacher for Joanna, Mrs. Eugenia Byars Johnson resides in the county and the principal is Frasier Sanders of this city. The two teachers who are natives of Newberry are Mrs. Herman Shealy (sister-in-law of our Lewis Shealy) and Mrs. Dalene Hatton Monts, formerly of Pomaria. There is little doubt that Newberry turns out some fine teachers—for other counties. Incidentally, the SACS com mittee to investigate the Jo anna school for accreditation will be on the scene in Febru ary, and the faculty is confi dent that SACS accreditation will also be forthcoming. This is what the taxpayers of Laurens county did, and with very little federal help. G. A.

Eugene C. Griffith of Newberry. Griffith, who holds the sec ond Senate seat in the tri county senatorial district of Lexington, Newberry and Sa luda counties, said the present retirement benefits for State employees are oased on the amount of wages earned while the employee was working full time. He said some state employees and teachers worked 30 or 40 years at much lower wages than employees receive today, then retired and receive a mea ger monthly retirement bene fit. Griffith said he also plans to introduce a tort-claims Act which will enable private citi zens to collect more than the present $8,000 maximum in civil suits against the State, counties or municipalities. He said a person injured in an accident by a state employee on state business cannot pres ently win a civil suit judgment of more than $8,000. Griffith said public subdivi sions have a statutory defense AUDITOR’S 1968 TAX ASSESSMENT NOTICE I, or an authorized agent, will be at the following places on the dates given below for the pur pose of taking tax returns on all personal property, boats, motors, trailers, and mobile homes: also real property, new buildings, and real estate trans fers.

Hfemm Auditor Newberry County of the $8,000 maximum altho all public operations have in surance to pay civil judgments of up to $500,000. He said the federal govern ment is liable for judgment damages under a tort-claims act and that the “old fashioned idea that the state can do no wrong is ridiculous.” Griffith said he has several other bills which did not win passage in the legislature last year and that he plans to at tempt to get them out of com mittee for adoption. He indicatd that some diffi culty may be encountered in Republican attempts to win passage of legislation. “ Earl Morris and some of the Democrats have said pri vately and publicly that they don’t plan to let us (Republi cans) pass anything,” Griffith said. State Rep. D. P. Folk of Newberry said he will push for the adoption of a bill now in the Senate which would con- solidatt voting precincts in the county. The bill would not al low precincts with less than 100 voters. Folk said he nas no local Newberry county proposals for the General Assembly since the County Board of Commissioners now has the authority to adopt local laws. “Our Senator (Griffith) and I don’t get along anyway and I doubt if I could get anything passed locally if I wanted to,” the Democrat state represen tative said.

RUBBER STAMPS — Made at THE SUN OFFICE on same day order received. Postmaster Harry E. Moose reminded mailers that new higher postage rates became ef fective January 7, 1968, in cluding the 6c an ounce charge for first class letters. Other rates effective, he noted are: 10c an ounce for air mail, 5c each for postal cards, and 8c each for air pos tal cards. “When you consider that 6c will carry a first-class letter addressed to any one of 200 million persons in 50 states, as well as letters addressed to any of 63 million persons in Mexico and Canada,” he added, “this still remains as one of the biggest bargains on earth.” The 20 per cent raise in first class letter rates, effective the 7th is a smaller percentage raise than that imposed on other types of mail. He pointed out that there has been a 24 per cent raise in the rates for mailing news papers and magazines and a 34 per cent hike in the charges for advertising circulars, “oc cupant” mail and other bulk third-class mail items. The new provision also es tablishes important rate change for heavier first class mail pieces, Mr. Moose explained . If the first class mail piece weighs more than J3 ounces, it will go automatically by the fastest transportation avail able—meaning air service us ually. “Heavier first class pieces, above 13 ounces, will be merged with air parcel post under a single rate schedule,” he said, “and all air mail above seven ounces also will be subject to the air parcel post rate sched ule.” The postmaster assured local residents plenty of 1c stamps are on hand for use with any existing stocks of 5c stamps they may have on hand. There are also adequate sup plies of 6c stamps to meet the new first class letter rate av ailable at the post office, he said. The higher rates became ef fective January 7 also for other categories of mail used primarily by large volume mailers. These include bulk third class advertising rates, special rates for books, films, and records. The postoffice is working closely with commercial mail ers to provide them with every possible assistance in complying with the technical provisions of these rate changes, he said.
