Mr Hendrix noted that the Board of Commissioners had met with the Board of Educa tion and school officials on sev eral occasions to discuss the schools' budget and needs He said.

' I'm certainly going to approve the action of the Board I'm familiar with pro- blems concerning additional meeds m the schools. It is very difficult to levy additional taxes for any purpose but I feel if g > over justified, it is justified to provide for our public '(■bools The Board of Education has convinced me that the cost of operating the schools has risen m recent years and while the Board ot Education did request a total increase of 11 mills.

Whi’e 1 know the people of Newberry County feel they are burdened, our levy for school purposes is much lower than people find in other coun ties and other school districts. I'm not saying this justifies an increase, but to me it gives rea son to believe that your action is proper. AVe know this is not what you requested, but we hope you can arrange to operate the schools on this Mr Hendrix announced that the county supply bill had been completed, and that the aresent millage. 17w mills would be sufficient to operate the county this year, of the 17T one mill is for the hospital, two mills for ambulances, two mills to retire bonded indebtedness, and 12b mills lor general oper ation ot tlie county Mrs. Hamm said that the es timated assessed valuation ot real and personal property for this year is about SIJ.lHHl.DOU Mr Young stated that a regu lar session of the board of edu cation will be held Thursday to take on the millage increase Folk Musical be presented on August ] Over 80 young people from seventeen area churches a r e presently engaged in rehearsals for "Tell It Like It Is", a folk musical, to be presented m the A.G.D Wiles Chapel on the New berry College campus on Sun day evening, August J at 8 p.m. ' Tell It Like It Is", written by Ralph Carmichael and Kurt Kaiser, is a contemporary pre sentation of the Christian faith It is on the order of the folk musical "Good News" present ed by area young people last summer.
