The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, August 27, 1970—PAGE 3 A FRIEND IN NEED—A plumber's friend may be an unusual substitute for a softball glove, but not as far as the Philadelphia Hobos are concerned. The Hobos, a nov elty softball team, will tangle with the Newbrry All- Stars Monday, Sept. 7, at Hedgepath Stadium. Showing how a suction cup can come in handy during a game is Bob Mattis, the Hobos’ second baseman.

PIERCING EARS MAY BE DANGEROUS A woman in a neighboring state wanted to wear fancy earrings and asked her sister to pierce her ears. The woman had not kept her tetanus shots up-to-date and contracted the di sease through one of the “punc tured’ ears. Several days later she died. State Health Officer Dr. E. Kenneth Aycock Tuesday cau tioned that women wanting their ears pierced should have their doctor do it. He said that the tetanus germ can be found al most anywhere and that the on ly protection against it is an immunization. “Stepping on a rusty nail or splinter is not the only way to get the disease.’ Dr. Aycock said. “People have been infected through a simple scratch which hardly broke the skin.” Tetanus took the life of a 36 year old Greenville housewife earlier this year. In 1969 an 85 year old Orangeburg woman died from tetanus, but a 4 year pld boy from Lancaster County survived the disease after in tensive hospital treatments for 26 days.

C. A. DUFFORD, SR. Are You Exporting Dollars Out Of Town? » They are missed sadly when you spend them away from home. A dollar that leaves town will never support our schools and churches or provide jobs and opportunities for our young people. All benefits are gone for good. Today, your dollars are the very lifeblood of the community. Buy at home and save at home. That's the way to keep our town a good place in which to live and raise a family. And remember: Where you save does make a difference. avijvgs and Loan Association
