Residents of Newberry and

of Newberry’s largest industrial
plants will have a special op

berry College Indians in action
on the gridiron this season.
"We have set aside a bloc of

football coach P’red Herren said,
for five of our six home games
for our neighbors to come and
watch some of the best football
in South Carolina.”
Kendall Mills employees wil

Indians in action this season;
they have been invited to the
opening game of the year on
Saturday. September 12, against
Emory and Henry College of

With the first football game
next week, Newberry College’s
Coach Ered Herren is putting
the squad through three prac
tice sessions a day.
"Time is short,” Herren said,
the three daily workouts are
helping us utilize time as much
as possible. The morning ses
sion is devoted to field work,
the afternoon session to kick
ing and passing, and the even
ing session to a scrimmage
"The first week of practice,” he
continued, “has taken its toll
in nagging injuries, especially
pulled muscles, but luckily none
of the injuries have been ser
ious.”
Three sophomores and a
freshman have impressed the
coaching staff and are possible
contenders for the starting
line-up in the September 12
match against Emory and Hen
ry on Newberry’s Setzler Field.
The quartet includes sopho
mores Keith McAlister from Co
lumbia, who has been switched
to the flanker position from end:
sophomore transfer Earl Phil
lips from Sumter, who is a can
didate for a guard position. Or
the defensive squad sophomore
Durwood Yates from Silver
Springs, Md., and freshman
Greg Hartle from Newberry ar£
making a strong bid for the
starting position.
Immunization
of children
urged by Dept.
Lack of protection against
communicable diseases can
cause many inconviences such
as the postponement of football
games and disruption of school
schedules according to State
Health Officer Dr. E. Kenneth
Ay cock.
Dr. Aycock warns South Car
olina parents that failure to im
munize their school children can
also be expensive and fatal.
“Fear of the spread of diph
theria in Sumter County promp
ted postponement of Manches
ter High School’s homecoming
football game last year,” Dr.
Aycock says, “and class time
was lost while the student body
and faculty lined up to get
shots.”
Dr. Aycock says that medi
cal expenses for three young
sters with diphtheria last year
cost parents and taxpayers al
most $3,000. Two of the children,
one from Sumter County and
the other from Richland, died.
A third youth survived the di
sease following a prolonged hos
pital stay.
The health officer says that
none of the three victims had
ever received a diphtheria shot.
Protection against the disease
is included in the DPT (diph
theria, pertussis or whooping
cough, and tetanus) series of
immunizations which children
snouid start when they are two
or three months old.
“During this school year all
of our children will probably
be exposed to diphtheria, Ger
man measles, or “red” meas
les. We urge parents to take
their children, especially first
graders, to their family doctor
or county health department for
all the necessary shots,” Dr.
Aycock says.
Officials of the Center for Di
sease Control in Atlanta last
week said that the nation can
expect limited outbreaks of diph
theria in coming months. Epi
demics have already been re
ported in Chicago, Miami, San
Mitonio, and Elgin, Texas.
No cases of diphtheria have
been reported in South Caro
lina so far this year. Approxi
mately 600 cases of both Ger
man and “red” measles have
been reported.
