BY THE WAY By DORIS A. SANDERS ONE OF THOSE This is one of those weeks when nothing comes to mind about which I have any inter est in writing. Perhaps that is due to a head cold which keeps me sniffling all day and awake most of the night. So to fill up this space this week I'll print a little item of interest which came in the form of a news release for the South Carolina Wildlife Depart ment. This department of our state government sends us week ly reports on fishing conditions, etc. but we seldom print them. Every time one of the releases says fishing on the lakes is go ing to be good, I don't get a bite! Anyway, as the Department says: At this time of the year the Wildlife Resources Department believes it is well to remind people not to bring home wild life babies if they find them in their natural habitat So often upon finding a young animal, one convinces himself that the animal is lost, motherless and will certainly perish if not tak en home In most cases, the opposite is true and the small animal will be all right if it is left alone. It is natural for deer to leave their newly-born fawns m some thicket or other heav\ growth while the doe feeds elsewhere. When it is time to nurse her young, she will return to the spot where the fawn was left. Many times this will be done 1 after dark when there is great er protection both for the doe and the fawn. With a small fawn, one can not help but want to cuddle something so cute and to take it home for a pet What one often forgets is that this cute, unafraid and apparently de fenseless animal soon grows in to a large, unmanageable and often dangerous wild animal. If the animal is kept until it reaches breeding age, it can severely injure its owner with its razor-sharp front hooves or its antlers if it is a buck. Small raccoons and other an imals aim seem to be ideal for your children when they are babio But these also quickly become adults and they then .•an bite, scratch and be both objectionable and dangerous So when _\ou see a voting wild thing in its natural environ ment. view it irom a distance, know that it is all right and ■'••momber that it can oulv grow into a problem d vou take it no me Drug film be shown today A film deputing the llie oi l-'lorne Fischer, a drug addict for 23 years, will be >hown m Newberrv today ■ 1'hursdav ) The film, entitled ' The Trip Back Florne Fischer s Story will be shown at 1 pm at the I)ravton Street Recreation ( en ter and at 7 30 p m. m the com munity room of the Newberry Federal building Dr. William Miller, who heads comprehensive health planning for the Central Midlands Plan ning Council, will show the film.

(Sunphoto) Poverty group won’t give up The board of directors of the N'ewberry-Saluda Community Actions, Inc., has asked the gov erning powers of the two coun ties not to recognize any other group or organization as spon sors of antipoverty programs in the area. The Rev. Neil Truesdell, who is chairman of the board, said Tuesday that the board has vot ed to reject actions taken by the Atlanta OPO office to close the local program by April 30. Fnder the law, he said, no other group can function as an anti poverty agency m the counties without the approval of the gov erning bodies. The regional office is trying to close us down and to justify their doing so by saying they will take care of everyone, that no one will suffer Our board has oiticiallv voted to refuse to complv to Atlanta's orders that wo gi. out of business, and wo nave contacted oar local gov ermrig power asking them not to recognize am other anti pov i r’v agenev Rev Truesdell said that tin Poord had authori/.ed him to pursue whatever courses, legal ■ >r ittici'w ise.
