in for another bucket in the Newberry-Guilford match
Saturday night, but it wasn’t enough as the Quakers

MacLean Gymnasium.
' “ start
losing streak
The Newberry Indians fell
from the undefeated ranks of
college basketball teams last
week by dropping games to Er-
skine College 69 to 67 and to
Guilford College 85-79.
The squad now has a 9-3
season record and a 1-1 con
ference record.
Forward Steve Hollingsworth
led the Indians by scoring 17
points against the Flying Fleet
Thursday night at Due West fol
lowed by Tommy Miller’s 14
points.
Although the Indians trailed
most of the game, they staged
a hot rally late in the game and
tied the score three times at
61, 63 and 65 before Erskine’s
Mike Jenkins put the home
team ahead 67-65 and then Skip
Goley was fouled with six se
conds remaining and made the
two free throws giving Erskine
a 69-65 margin. Miller made the
final field goal in the game
with only two seconds remain
ing on the clock, but it wasn’t
enough to give the Indians a
victory.
Erskine won the game on free
throws, making 15 out of 18
while Newberry only hit 7 out
of 14. Newberry made 30 field
goals to Erskine’s 27.
Newberry and Guilford,both
undefeated in Carolinas Confer
ence action, staged a barnburn
er in MacLean Gymnasium Sat
urday night with the visiting
Quakers taking home the laur
els.
Guilford made the first points
and led all of the way to give
them a 4-0 conference record.
Newberry was down fourteen
points early in the 2nd half but
staged a comeback and came
to within 4 points with 4:04 re
maining in the game and again
with 1:16 on the clock, but the
winners wouldn’t let the Indians
get any closer.
Newberry’s Buddy Moore was
high scorer for both squads with
22 points, Charlie Gilroy paced
him with 21 points while Hollings
worth hit for 18.
PLAN ASSEMBLY
IN GREENVILLE
An estimated 23 members of
the Newberry congregation of
Jehovah’s Witnesses will join
more than 1,000 fellow witness
es January 16 through 18 at a
three-day assembly in Green-
ville.
Greenville Memorial Auditor
ium Exhibition Hall will be con
verted into a place of worship
and Christian training for the
occasion.
Robert Jackson, the presiding
minister of the local congrega
tion, said that the gathering,
which is sponsored by the Watch
tower Bible and Tract Society,
will include witnesses from 16
congregations in North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia.
Sessions will be conducted morn
ing, afternoon and evening with
a baptism of newly dedicated
ministers Saturday afternoon.
The theme of the three-day
program will be “Right Kind of
Ministers”. (Matt. 7:29) Said
Jackson, “The program will en
able Jehovah’s Witnesses to ad
vance to greater Christian mat
urity and improve their knowl
edge and ability to teach. With
so much unrest among peoples,
racial riots, war threats and
increase in crime, we feel the
need as Jehovah’s Witnesses to
spread a message of peace and
unity which this assembly will
better equip us to do as a ser
vice to this community and the
world.”
C. G. Thompson, nine-state
district supervisor of the Watch-
tower Society and nationally
known Bible lecturer, will be
the principal speaker. He will

Questionnaires
due January 15
Newberry County Service Of
ficer Jerry O’Quinn said today
veterans and dependents receiv
ing V A pension checks have un
til January 15 to return the in
come questionnaires mailed in
their October checks.
Several thousand question
naires have not yet been re
turned from South Carolina vet
erans and dependents, O’Quinn
said.
The January 15 deadline ap
plies to veterans who are totally
and permanently disabled by
disease or injuries not associat
ed with their military service,
and wartime veterans’ widows
who draw pensions from the
VA, if they have limited in
come.
In addition, parents of de
ceased veterans who receive
compensation checks are requir
ed to return income and depend
ency questionnaires.
Since the amount of pay
ment is related to income, the
law requires beneficiaries to re
port their income so VA can
determine the amount to which
they are entitled during 1970.
The VA reminded veterans,
widows and dependent parents
that they may receive informa
tion and assistance in complet
ing their questionnaires from
their nearest VA office or from
the County Service Office, locat
ed in the courthouse.

TO ALL NATURAL GAS USERS
The Federal Power Commission has authorized an
increase in the price of gas charged the Clinton-New-
berry Natural Gas Authority by our sole supplier.
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation.
In accordance with our contracts with Commer-
daL Industrial, and Interruptible customers, this rate
increase will be passed on to them in a like amount be
ginning January 1,1970.
However, in the case of residential users, the Au

main the same as they have been since 1958.
