About 130 high school girls attended the first week’s ses sion starting June 30, and some 250 are on hand this week. The hard-working cheer leaders, from communities throughout South Carolina and nearby states, are working out on an intensive schedule des pite torrid temperatures. Parcel post change noted The maximum weight of a par cel shipped between first-class offices in the first and- second parcel post zones has been 40 pounds but if the parcels were going further than the second zone the maximum weight could be only 30 pounds, that is, until July 1, 1969. Postmaster Moose told today of the change in the parcel post law which was en acted in 1966 which will allow 40 pound parcels to be shipped between first-class post offices to any parcel post zone. Unaffected by the new phase of the law is the size of 72 inches in combined length and girth, the postmaster said. Also unaffected is the size of 10 0 inches in combined length and girth and 70 pounds in weight of parcels that are mailed to or from smaller offices, rural routes, military post offices and the states of Alaska and Hawaii. Further information about the new parcel post regulations or any other postal matters may be obtained by telephoning the local post office at 276-3521. fransplant bill becomes law A bill to clear the way for gifts of bodily organs to be used for surgical transplants, re search, and education purposes was signed into law on July 1 by Governor Robert McN a i r. South Carolina thus becomes one of the first states to provide pro tection for the rights of both the donor and the recipient of organs used in transplants. Introduced simultaneously in the House of the State Legis lature by Troy Hyatt and in the Senate by Dr. Frank Owens, both of Richland County, the bill makes i f possible for any person of sound mind and eight een years of age or more to give all or any part of his body to a medical or educational in stitution, a physician, or a spec ified individual for transplanta tion, the gift to take effect upon the donor’s death. The bill also enables relatives to make such a gift, provided the deceased has not indicated objection. Re latives listed by priority are: spouse, adult son or daughter, either parent, adult brother or sister, guardian, any other per son authorized or under obliga tion to dispose of the body. Gifts may be made by will and become effective after death without waiting for probate. In cases of contested wills, the gift is still valid to the extent that it has been acted upon in good faith. Gifts may also be made by a document other than a will, such as a card carried on the person. Such a card must be signed by the donor in the presence of two witnesses who must also sign the document in his presence. The time of death of the donor will be determined by the at tending physician or the phy sician who certifies the death. The bill states that this physi cian shall not participate in the procedures for removing or for transplanting a part of the body. Dr. C. Warren Irvin of Col umbia, vice president of the American Heart Association and chairman of the S. C. Heart Association’s Legislative Advis ory Committee, was among thos who appeared at a hearing on the bill. He testified that the legislation had been endorsed by the Heart Association and by representatives of the Amer ican Cancer Society, the state Bar Association, state Hospital Association, state Medical Asso ciation, and the Medical College of South Carolina.
