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-

mendation on a trial basis for
one week—Monday thru Satur
day.
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.

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.
