JOY, SADNESS
It was a good Christmas for
most people we know—the joy
of the season was expressed in
church worship services, in
family get-togethers, in tradi
tional gift giving under the
gaily decorated tree.
While it was a good Christ
mas for our family — we all
managed to keep going despite
the ’flu which has been ram
pant hereabouts, there was also
sadness in our neighborhood
and in many homes throughout
the city, for our good friend
and neighbor, I). 0. Carpenter,
had passed away two days ear
lier.
Mr. Carpenter was many
things; to many people. He was
beloved employer of thousands
while he served as manager of
the Oakland Plant of the Ken
dall Company. He was an em
ploye* himself a respected em
ployee of the Kendall Company.
He was a willing civic ser
vant. always ready to do his
par* whenever or wherev< r he
could for the betterment of h:>

March of Dimes
campaign begins
cation ('ommitt'e that the ( ity
looted
Under the banner of “A Hap
pier New Year" at birth for
every child, preparations were
completed today in Newberry
for the January fund-raising
campaign of the March of
Dimes against birth defects.
Marking the actual kickoff
was the issuance of a Procla
mation earlier today by Mayor
Clarence R. Shealy. In brief re
marks Mayor Shealy stressed
the importance of the March of
Dimes fund campaign and ex
pressed thanks to the Newber
ry Jaycees annually sponsor
ing thus community effort.
Elliott D. (Duby) Thompson,
March of Dimes campaign ehair-
m a n , expressed satisfaction
over campaign plans for the
County, including the response
from prospective volunteer
workers. He saui that he was
‘‘optimistic that funds collected
would exceed the total raised
here last year.
“The nod is urgent," he ex
plained, “because we know
now there is hope—through re
search and treatment—to over
come the devastating toll birth
defects claim annually in our
country. Modern medicine holds
the promise of preventing many
of tlio physical and mental af
flictions which now strike 250,
000 American
>>
infants each
year. '*
Examples of this progress
are two new vaccines, one to
prevent Rh disease due to blood
differences between mother and
baby, and the other, new being
tested, to prevent German
measles which often cripples
babies whose mothers contract
the disease during pregnancy.
"Throughout the nationwide
network of more than 100 Birth
Defects Centers supported hy
the March of Dimes," Mr.
Thompson emphasized, "re
search and treatment progress
has been made. During January
we are seeking money to insure
that this vital work continues.”
VOLUNTEERS WANTED
An appeal for volunteers to
enlist in the March of Dimes
drive in January against birth
defects in Newberry and the na
tion was issued today hy Elliott
D. (Duby) Thompson, Cam
paign chairman.
Mr. Thompson said that men,
wHrmen and teen - agers were
immediately needed to perform
“interesting and highly worth
while tasks in the community.
