Poison control centers in S. C. The State Board of Health said today that there are over 250.000 soaps, cleansers, polish es and other household products on sale in the stores that are poison if anybody swallows them. Fortunately, the Board ponted out, there are two of fices in the State that have first aid treatment for all of them. These are the “life and death” centers located at the Columbia Hospital in Columbia and the Medical University of South Car olina in Charleston. The Board of Health has furnished every doctor in S. C. a card with the telephone number of these cen ters. They car, call for informa tion about these poisons 24 hours a day. The centers also have inform ation on first aid and treatment for all types of fish, snake and insect bites and poisonings from plants. The informati n centers can tell the doctor jir how poi sonous the product is, what dam age it Cum cause, and the best n * of treatment. Parted in 1957 these poison ontrol centers are a result of the efforts of the Board of Health, South Carolina Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Pharmaceutical As sociation. Medical University of South Carolina, and hospitals in which the centers are located. The first such center was es tablished in Chicago in 1953. Now there are over 400 through out the United States. The Board of Health also sug gests that citizens take time to check their homes completely to be sure that anything in the way of a commercial product that could be of harm to child ren is placed out of reach. Scholarships for librarians are available The South Carolina State Lib rary will offer five scholarships of $2,500 each for graduate study in library science during 1969-70. Awarded under a pro gram to extend and improve library service to South Caro lina,' these scholarships enable qualified young people to obtain a year of professional library training. The scholarships are open to recent college graduates and young teachers. In addition to being graduates of a four- year college or university and acceptable to a graduate school, scholarship recipients must have a special interest in lib raries. Scholarship recipients in the past have attended such schools as Rutgers, Simmons, Univer sity of Michigan, Louisiana State University, Emory University, and the University of Washing ton. Information on the scholar ships and other programs is available on request from the State Library, 1500 Senate St., Columbia, S. C. 29201 or from the local public library. Standard pays dividends Passbook and certificate earn ings of $971,885.11 will be paid to savers this month by Stan dard Savings and Loan Associa tion. The September 30 payment marking the end of the third quarter, continues a trend of in creases in Standard dividends. Following approval by Stan dard's Board o? Directors the third quarter dividend was an nounced in Newberry by Pinck ney N. Abrams, Senior Vice- President. It brings to $2,850,- 848.70 the amount paid to Stan dard savers this year. Abrams commented that high er dividend totals this year have resulted from a steady rise in new savings accounts, active de velopment of existing accounts, and earnings at elevated rates on savings certificates. The third quarter dividend will be shared by savers throughout central South Carolina. Founded in 1908, Standard Savings and Loan now has seven offices in Newberry, Orangeburg and Col umbia. Newberry Board members in addition to Ralph B. Baker, Chairman, are Pinckney N. Ab rams, Louis C. Floyd, R. Aub rey Harley and Thomas H. Pope. Home Loans • • You have probably noticed that we advertise our ‘‘Savings Plan” more than our “Home Loan Plan.” This is because monely is tight and it takes money to make home loans. However, we do want you to know that we have sufficient funds on hand at all times to make home loans in Newberry and vicinity. We have a home loan plan for construction, purch asing, refinancing, remodeling and repairing homes which is second to none. Ours is the “Direct Reduction Plan” which reduces interest payment and principal sum each time a pay ment is made. This has been the most popular plan for 35 years and will probably be the most popular for many years to come. Why? Because it guarantees you a debt free home in a definite period of time.
