The labor depart ment reports that 53 percent of the wage earning personnel were employed in the spinning, weaving, knitting and finishing of textiles. Textile employes numbered 142,543, and they earned nearly 57 percent of the wages paid to all manufacturing workers in the state, according to the labor department. The agency figures also show that the textile industry’s con tribution to the growth of the state’s economy continued to be substantial last year in com parison with the previous year.

Greenville County, with some 18,700 tex tile workers, led in the em ployment category, and Spart anburg County led in textile plants with 63. Union, Lancaster, Chester and York counties, however, have the heaviest concentration of the industry. In each county, over 80 percent of the indus trial jobs and over 84 percent of the industrial payroll are de rived from textiles. Qualifications for justices proposed Congressman Bryan Dorn has introduced legislation which would set qualifications and ten ure for members of the United States Supreme Court. His bill would require that members be natural-born citizens of the Un ited States who have attained at least 35 years of age upon taking office. It would require that a person must have serv ed as either a Federal or State judge or some combination of both for at least 10 years, and at least five years of the time shall have been served as an appellate judge. The appoint ment to the Court would be for 10 years. A Justice may serve for more than one 10-year term with the consent of the Senate. Members of the Court shall hold their offices during good behavior and adherence to high ethical standards. Dorn said, “I have the high est esteem for the legal pro fession and for the judges serv ing with devotion and dedica tion, both State and Federal, throughout the nation; however, I do believe that the time has come in a democracy such as ours to set qualifications for membership and tenure of of fice for the Supreme Court”. Dorn said, ‘‘The American peo ple have been shocked beyond measure at some of the recent decisions of our Supreme Court and the conduct of some of its members”. Cheerleaders at college camp Girl cheerleaders from high schools in South Carolina and nearby states converged on the Newberry College campus Mon day for a two week training camp sponsored by the Ameri can Cheerleading Association. The girls will learn to yell effectively. In addition to “lab oratory” work in the gym and on the football field, they will undergo classroom training in crowd psychology, pep rally or ganization, history of cheerlead ing, and faculty-student relation. About 130 girls are registered for the first week. Another 250 are expected for the second ses sion starting July 7. The camp is entirely under the auspices of the A. C. A.a Florida based organization that was formed 20 years ago by a former U. of Miami cheer leader, Bill Horan. He built what he calls “the West Point of Cheerleading” on a 92-acre tract at Leesburg, Florida. The camp at Newberry is one of a number of campus train ing sessions being conducted by the ACA throughout the coun try, according to Horan. He says the association’s goals are “a better cheerleader, a better youth, a better America”. All camp activities will be supervised by an ACA staff of professionals and recent grad uates from the high school cheerleading ranks.
