Rumors are beginning to spread as to candidates on the county scene. You will recall that under the latest reappor tionment approved by the courts the Senatorial District 22, in which Newberry county is lo cated, will no longer be the same. I don’t know what our district number will be next year, but there will be one Senator representing Newberry, Union and Laurens counties. At this time, Republican Gene Griffith represents Newberry (also Lexington and Saluda) and Bill Dobbins, a Democrat represents Laurens. I don’t know wh^ the situation is with Union. If I recall correctly, there was no Democratic can didate from Newberry in the Senatorial race last go-round, but if rumors are accurate, there will be one announcing in the near future for the seat un der the new reapportionment. Reliable rumor also has it that Senator Griffith will not relinquish his seat without a fight—so as things begin to shape up, looks as though “there’ll be a hot time in the old county” before the final ballots are counted in Novem ber. CRIME WEEK It is a fine project that the Exchange Club embarks upon each year—that of sponsoring Crime Prevention Week and trying to point out to the youth of the nation the consequences of crime. The only trouble is, in most instances, the conse quences are so light in this day and time, that there really isn’t too much to be said. While I do not suggest the discontinuance of the observ ance—it MIGHT help some kid follow the straight and narrow —I think as an added feature of the program, each Exchang- ite throughout the nation might write a personal letter to his congressman and to his sena tor, demanding that action be taken to curb the Supreme Court in its rulings that serve only to coddle criminals and ignore the innocent victims of attack. Then if the Lions, Rotarians, Masons, Shriners, Garden Club bers, American Legionnaires and all other organized groups joined in and did the same, the voice of the people will be heard and you better bet that when that voice is strong enough, your senators and con gressmen will be quick to take action. There is one little fallacy to this suggestion. No more than one out of a thousand would take the time to write such a letter, and therein lies the reason for the continued disin tegration of this country.

Counts The egg industry in South Carolina is a multi - million - dollar business and Newberry County has set the pace in egg production in the state for sev eral years, Newberry County Farm Bureau Members were told here Thursday. Harold Bolyn of the State De partment of Agriculture told bureau members at a breakfast in observance of January as egg month that the egg indus try has flourished since 1956. “This success story hasn’t been achieved without a lot of hard work by egg producers and others in business,” Bolyn said. He said Newberry County top ped the state in the production of eggs in 1960, 1962 and again in 1965. The county is one of 10 in the state where the main cash commodity is egg produc tion. The county also ranked sec ond in the state in 1966 for agri culture production, including livestock, Bolyn said. More than $20 million is generated into the economy of the state annually by farming, he said. Bolyn said Newberry County is recognized as a leader in the agriculture of South Carolina. He cited Dave, Ralph, and Jeff Waldrop, three brothers who manage Southern Breakfast Egg Co. here, as being in strumental in the county’s agri cultural success. David H. Sloan, president of the South Carolina Farm Bureau, crowned Miss Lynn Be- denbaugh, 16, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay Bedenbaugh of Prospertiy, as “Miss Chic Chic” for 1968. Miss Beden baugh also is the Farm Bureau queen. Better fan practices are recommended “Too much farming up and down hill is making good soil wash away,” says J. R. Fogle, work unit conservationist with the Soil Conservation Service. “Our sloping land cannot be farmed continuously if straight rows are used because soil loss is 5 to 10 times greater each year in fields where straight rows are used, than in fields with contour rows,” he says. “Contour farming, which in volves plowing and planting a- round the slope, helps keep the soil in place,” says Fogle. He points out the need for contour terraces to keep water from rushing downhill too fast, say ing that contour terracing is the only way to keep a sloping field for cultivation in business. Help in planning and engi neering contour terraces, grass waterways and other conserva tion practices is available from the Soil Conservation Service, which works with land owners in the Newberry Soil and Wat er Conservation District.
