(Continued from Page 1) can contribute to his commun ity with a career of playing an instrument, leading a band, or directing a chorus. The Newberry High band dir ector has had to “mortgage” the pittance she receives each year to buy music, for ten years and band parents have had to work to make up the $5,000 dif ference, to pay for the new uni forms. I might mention again, as I have before the other uni forms had been used 15 years and were beginning to wear through in the seat of the pants. If a school is to make a place for an activity in its program, then the activity should be sup ported. Since, in the case of the band, it hasn’t received anything but a widow’s mite from county funds, I would like to express the appreciation of the Band Parents to those of you who have participated in the various fund-raising projects to help us pay for the uniforms. And I cannot leave the sub ject of the band without men tioning the excellent work of our county students and those from several other counties at RITZ THEATRE THURSDAY FRIDAY and SATURDAY BEN HIR Charlton Heston Stephen Boyd Two Showing 3:00 and 7:30 Adults $1 All Children 50c MONDAY and TUESDAY BATTLE 0E BRITAIN Michael Caine Lamence Oliver WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY GIRLS FROM THUNDER STRIP Jody McCrea Maray Ayres CLOVER LEAF DRIVE-IN FRIDAY and SATURDAY SAM WHISKEY Clint Walker Angie Dickinson SUNDAY CASTLE KEEP Burt Lancaster Patrick O’Neal Always A Color Cartoon The Drive-In Will Be Closed On Monday, Tuesday, Wed nesday And Thursday For The Winter Months. the Palmetto Conference Band concert at Whitmire Sunday af ternoon.

The Rev. Frederick Byrd, vicar of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church and Archdeacon William A. Beckham of the Episcopal Diocese of Upper S.

Maxwell, adviser to the South Carolina Tricen tennial staff in Columbia spoke on the tricentennial program at a meeting of Newberry Civic League at the Community Hall Tuesday, at 4 p.m. He was as sisted by Miss Sandy Broad way, PRT secretary, who mod eled the ensemble which the PRT hostesses will wear this year at the three South Caro lina welcome centers. Prof. F. Scott Elliott, Sr., president, presided. After an Easter prayer by Dr. L. Grady Cooper, the president called on Hal Kohn, Sr., program chair man, who introduced Dr. Jas. C. Kinard, Newberry County tricentennial chairman, who out lined plans for the observance of the tricentennial in Newberry county November 8-14. Mr. Kohn then introduced Mr. Maxwell. After summarizing briefly the history of the found ing of the state, Maxwell des cribed the three tricentennial exposition sites located at Col umbia, Greenville and Charles Town Landing. He then explained the cous- ins-by-the-dozen program. He linked this with the big business of tourism, and he said, “It makes good sense for us to stand tall for South Carolina and be better salesmen of our state.” He urged that all help to bring tourist money to South Carolina by inviting friends and relatives to attend the tricen tennial. Next he described Dreher Is land State Park at Lake Mur ray. He termed this the first inland lake park in the United States with 340 acres of park area. It can be reached by a causeway from the mainland. At the conclusion of Max well’s talk, President Elliott thanked him for his interesting, informative message on the tri- centennial program. Following the program and a short business session, the host esses, Mrs. Lonnie B. Gilliam, Mrs. F. Scott Elliott, Sr., Mrs. Jack Jenkins and Mrs. Ralph W. Young served light refresh ments. During this concluding social hour, Miss Broadway dis tributed tricentennial literature to those present. MEDICAL AUXILIARY HEARS MR.
