The Committee will act on applications from South Carolina high school students in the new program aimed at easing the financial burdens of the state’s independent colleges. Newberry College along with seven other private colleges was chosen in a special drawing held in the State House earlier this week. The names of all 21 col leges eligible to participate in the new program were placed in an envelope, with the first eight drawn to hold seats on the ori ginal committee. The measure creating the committee was signed into law by the governor. Only $5,000 was appropriated for the program in its first year but increased fund ing is expected in subsequent years if the State Supreme Court finds the law constitutional in an expected “friendly” lawsuit. The tuition grant program is designed to provide students en rolling in private colleges tui tion grants to make up the dif ference between the lower tui tion at state supported colleges and Universities and the higher tuition at private colleges. There is a question in minds of some lawmakers as to the constitutionality of the new law in view of a constitutional pro hibition against the state contri buting to private schools and colleges. Supporters argued that the program was constitutional be cause funds go to individual stu dents and not to the colleges. Other South Carolina colleges chosen to serve on the initial committee are the College of Charleston, Spartanburg Junior College, Morris College, Ander son College, Wofford College, North Greenville Junior College and Bob Jones University. Representatives of the eight colleges selected will determine among themselves which will fill one, two and three year terms. TRANSFERS OF REALTY Newberry No. 1: 0. F. Armfield, Sr. to Ruth T.

They con tinue to think about social se curity as being a program for older people involving retire ment and Medicare. This is far from being the complete story. Social Security provides disabi lity payments to disabled work ers and their families, and to widowed mothers and their chil dren. To illustrate the protection social security provides a young family, H. M. Spiller gave the following examples: A young father of two small children, both under age 5, is disabled in an accident. His average earnings covered by social se curity were $450 a month. His family could receive about $354 each month, or $4,250 each year in social security payments. By the time the youngest child is age 18, this family could have received more than $55,000. Pay ments to the wife would be stop ped but they would be contin ued to the disabled worker. Lat er when the wife reaches age 62, payments would be resum ed for her. Mr. Spiller invites anyone who would like more informa tion about social security to call or visit the office at 219 Mag nolia St., Greenwood, phone No. 223-1711. ARMY GREEN BY SFC E. L. WOOD VETERANS: According to the Veterans Ad ministration, about 47 percent of American men over age 20 are veterans of the U. S. Arm ed Forces. That means that more than 26 million men in the United States today have worn the colors of one of Uncle Sam’s services. The average veteran’s age is 44 years. The Veterans Administration also re ports that 790 widows of Civil War veterans are drawing pen sions and that 8,000 Spanish- American War veterans are liv ing. SAVING THEIR MONEY: Looks as though today’s sold ier has a modern attitude about saving his pay. During the year ended June 30, servicemen stat ioned overseas deposited $225.7 million through the Uniformed Savings Deposit program. This program, which is only open to overseas-based servicemen pays 10 percent interest a year, com pounded quarterly. MOTHER’S DAY SPECIAL!
