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.

Griffith hopes
to help state
retirees
A revision in the state re
tirement system to give re
tired state employees “more
than a starvation pittance”
will be sought this year in the
State General Assembly by
Republican State Sen. 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 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.
