PAGE 8—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, May 2, 1968 BY THE WAY (Continued from page 1) “How does S. C. feel about George Wallace? I will be very proud of my home state, if they back Wallace. It is time for all of us to stand up and be counted. We do not have much time”. THANKS I would like to add a personal note of thanks to the law en forcement officers of the coun ty, and especially to members of the Newberry City Police department, who did such a fine job selling BAG buttons to aid crippled children and ad ults. The Easter Seal Society has always been one of my favorite causes because 1 know it does so much good for so many handicapped people. I am sure the other organizations (Can cer, mental health, etc.) are equally effective; it is just that I have always had a closer, relationship to the Crippled Children’s Society than to the others. Thanks also, to those who contributed by buying buttons, and by buying Easter Seals. Lawyer fee deadlin set The deadline for South Car- olirra attorneys to register with the S. C.

EXTENSION Measures to eliminate obscene mail Mail patrons offended by pandering advertisements can now take steps to curb such mail, Postmaster Harry E. Moose said today in announc ing plans for administering a new law which gives each fam ily the right to decide that an ad is “erotically arousing or sexually provocative.” When-an advertisement sent through the mails is offensive on these grounds, a postal pat ron can now ask the post office to direct the mailer to send no more mail to him and to remove immediately the patron’s name from all mail ing lists he owns, controls or rents. To assist patrons, the Post Office Department has publish ed a brief pamphlet “How You Can Curb Pandering Advertise ments” which is now available at the Newberry postoffice. In addition to explaining how the law works, the pocket-size leaf let contains a form letter one can use when sending his com plaint to the post office. The pamphlet explains that when a patron receives an ad vertisement which is, in his opinion, pandering, he must send the ad, its envelope and the form letter, or one which includes its language, to his post office with the words, “Request for prohibitory or der” on the face of the envel ope. Postmaster Moose said: “This new law should give some pro tection to American families offended by advertisements they believe to be morally harmful, particularly to their children. ” “Last year the postoffice de partment received some 140,- 000 complaints from those of fended by pandering advertise ments. While in most cases the ads were not legally ob scene and were therefore mail- able, they are often offensive and are usually not the type of material one would want his children to read,” Postmaster Moose said. He added that “because the law gives a mail patron the sole right to decide what is offensive, and does not deny others the right to receive the same mail, the Congress felt it does not violate Constitu tional guarantees of freedom of speech.” While the patron’s complaint will only be directed to the sender, Postmaster Moose be lieves that one of two com plaints will provide substan tial protection because “the bulk of this advertising comes from fewer than 20 so-called ‘smut dealers’ who are fre quently swapping mailing lists.” If a mailer does not strike a complainant’s name from his mailing list, and the patron receives a second mailing 30 days after the firm has re ceived the prohibitory order, he may bring the matter to the attention of the postmaster is suing the initial order by writ ing him and enclosing the sec ond pandering advertisement with its envelope. If the mailer still fails to respect the order, the Postmaster General may ask the Attorney General to apply for a Federal Court or der directing compliance. Fail ure to observe the order may be punishable by a fine or im prisonment.

Council buys property for water tank At a special meeting last Thursday, city council voted to purchase property for loca tion of a water storage tank; lease property for a mall to the Martin street parking lot- and extend water service to two out-of-city areas. After several months of dis cussion, a final vote was taken to purchase the R. E. Amick property for the site of a 500,- 000 gallon water tank in the Hartford Heights area. Approval was given after second reading on lease agree ments between Helen R. Counts and the city, and Mrs. Mildred P. Davis and Mary Ann D. Beckwith and the city. The property, adjacent to the Ritz Theatre building, will be used for construction of a mall to serve shoppafs who park in the Martin street lot, now under construction. City Manager Riebe advised that a prelimin ary estimate of cost for devel opment of the concrete ramp and retainer wall in the alley- way is $1200, and that design of the canopy and general beautification of the area will be accomplished at a later date. After hearing that the City Planning Commission had re versed its position and recom mended receipt by the city of a road in the Springhill Apart ment area, council accepted the road into the city system. Council voted to extend water service to the Helena area, from the present line at Vin cent street to the railroad track on the Bush River Road. Council also approved a re quest by W. E. Shealy for ex tension of a water line on Highway 76 by-pass to the building which he is construct ing. Mr. Shealy will pay the cost of a six inch line, which would be adequate to service his establishment; however, the long-range plans of the city call for this to be a 12-inch line, and this will be installed, with the City to pay the dif ference. Mr. Shealy will also pay for fire hydrant and meter.
