PAGE 8—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Nov. 28, 1968 BY THE WAY (Continued from page 1) has been officially announced. In addition, there is that $700,000 improvement program. Of course the voters will decide whether it is to go forward. At last reports, there were almost enough freeholders’ signatures on a petition to call for an el ection on a bond issue. If it is approved, many people will be unhappy; if it is not approved, coujicil must find some way to get other funds to do the work that is absolutely necessary to be done. As one looks over what faces the winners of the elections, one must wonder if the losers are just a little happier than the winners. * BAND BARBECUE I want to remind you that the Newberry High School Band will be having its annual bar becue on the first Friday in December. I’m letting you know ahead of time so you won’t pl^n a menu for that night— the band will have it planned for you, and as thousands of you know, this is always a de licious meal. Make plans to bring the family to the High school for supper—or take sup per home to them on Friday, December 6. CITY PLAZA One of the suggestions made by Adley and Associates, city planners, to improve the shop ping area of our city, was to establish a “shopping plaza” on the square in front of the Community Hall. The plan was outlined a few weeks ago to members of the Association for a Greater Newberry, which had hired the firm to make sug gestions for city planning. City council decided last week to go along with this recom- I R IT Z THEATRE WEDNESDAY THURSDAY, FRIDAY SATURDAY and MONDAY & TUESDAY Live A Little Love A Little ELVIS PRESLEY~ WEDNESDAY THURSDAY, FRIDAY SATURDAY and MONDAY & TUESDAY Coogans Bluff CLINT EASTWOOD LEE J.

Two blocks are cut off from traffic altogether — Caldwell, between Boyce and Main, and Nance between Boyce and Main. There is some additional one way traffic but when the dir ection is described as “north,” “east,” etc., I’m lost. My suggestion would be that you play close attention to the signs, which are placed in the test area, to find out which way you can and which way you can’t go. It would seem to me that cutting off Caldwell and Nance is going to cause a first class traffic jam at the corner of Main and McKibben, but I sup pose the only way to find out is to try it. Just remember if you are driving in that vicinity, there WILL be changes in the flow of traffic, so heed the signs or you will find yourself going the wrong way on a one-way street. Academy makes plans to add ninth grade Before a large attendance of parents and friends at the Academy last Monday night the 6th grade conducted de votions and then presented un der the direction of their home teacher, Mrs Sylvia B. Gibson, a playlet, “Tom Sawyer wins again.” Thty showed the results of skillful training. In the business session which followed three members of the Board of Directors made com ments. Mr. T. C. Tindall sug gested the formation of a parents’ council to study plans for the progress of the school. Mr. E. Maxcy Stone stressed the importance of adding the 9th grade next year and the higher grades later. Dr. Syd ney Carter emphasized the need of gifts in addition to tu ition to enable the Academy to balance its budget. He express ed the hope that some friend might donate a tract of land so that new construction could soon begin. Miss Sallie Lee Cromer, prin cipal, commented briefly on the increased emphasis which the Academy is now placing on the enforcement of discipline. She stressed the importance of good behavior in the learning pro cess. President Kinard reported the donation of some valuable gifts, among them, a projector with a substantial sum for the purchase of slides and films; a set of wicker furniture for a teachers’ lounge; a supply of new and modern hymnalsr for chapel services; the contribu tion by two parents to cover the complete cost of new text books in use for the first time this year. He reported also that the Book Fair had been a marked success. The Academy president said that the Board had approved his recommendation that a representative committee be appointed to screen carefully applications for admission next year. He announced that ap plications are already coming in for the Academy classes and the kindergarten. After the meeting the par ents and other friends visited the classrooms and teachers. They expressed their apprecia tion of the teachers and their work. MRS. SEASE’S SISTER DIES Mrs. Trannie Stoudemire of N. Augusta, sister of Mrs. John C. Sease of Prosperity, died last Saturday. Funeral services were held Monday in Pineview Memorial Gardens. Handwriting is problem for post office Bleary eyes are expected for Christmas by Newberry’s pos tal employees, if our handwrit ing doesn’t improve, Postmas ter Moose warned today. Illegible handwriting is one of the biggest problems con fronted by postal employees. At Christmastime, when mail volumes surge, the problem is compounded. The use of Zip codes is a help, because if the city and state are unreadable the ZIP code will direct the mail to the correct postoffice. Clerks In that postoffice, being more fa miliar with local residents, may be able to figure out the per son to whom the mail should be delivered. Poor packaging and illegible or incorrect addressing account for about half a million un delivered parcels each year, the postmaster said. “When a person has taken the time to purchase a card, envelope and postage, or a gift, it is unfortunate if the mail can’t be delivered,” he said. All parcels should be ad dressed on only one side and should have the address, with ZIP code, written somewhere on the inside of the package in case the exterior wrapping should come off. Addressing the citizens of Newberry, Postmaster Moose requested continued use of Zip codes in all addresses. This is the best time of year to up-date your Zip code lists, Postmaster Moose said. Just check the return addresses of your incoming mail or call the postoffice for missing Zip codes and put the proper codes in address books.
