PAGE 8—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Sept. 3, 1370 Traffic costs high in state South Carolinians suffered an economic loss of 7.7 million dol lars in June as the result of some 4,695 traffic accidents and fatal injuries to 74 persons, ac cording to the State Highway Department. The cost figures per day a- mount to $260 thousand or $10.7 thousand every hour during the month the report showed. The 74 reported deaths, however, re presents a decrease of 12.9 per cent when compared to the 85 fatalities reported for the same period last year. Records on file at the De partment, as of August 12, show that the July traffic death fi gures will drop even more dra matically. These records indi cate that a total of 66 persons died in traffic accidents in July, 1970, as compared to 95 for the same month last year. This is a 30.1 percent decrease. July figures are tentative be cause the Department must al so take into account delayed deaths. If a person who is invol ved in an accident dies within one month of the accident he is considered a traffic fatality.

Nurses Course BY THE WAY (Continued from page 1) gether. Of the eight children in the two families, all at one time or another took a stab at the newspaper business under Dad’s leadership.. Six of the eight are still in the newspaper or print ing business. After reminding his readers of Dad’s connection with the Johnston Herald and the Saluda Standard, Luther writes: “By this writer, however, he will be remembered for a num ber of much more personal rea sons. • “He came to Newberry from Johnston, having purchased the Herald and News from our fa ther during the days of our early youth. His family and ours grew up together. There were times when it was hard to tell which family was whose. When we were of a suitable age, he put us to work in the shop. It was under his tutelage that we learned the printing trade. “He was the Boss. And in later years, though our paths drifted somewhat apart and we didn’t see him as often as we would have liked, he remained the Boss. And yet, even though the term is used in an affec tionate sense, he was more than just the Boss. He was a friend and counselor as well. The in terest he took in this orphaned young man’s well being was no little influence in shaping his future and has meant much to us in the intervening years. “Otto Armfield was a kind of storybook editor. He was fearless in the stands he took, and neither favor nor friendship influenced him to deviate even the slightest from what he con sidered the proper course of ac tion. He was a keen observer, an outspoken and loyal prota gonist, and an antagonist to be respected. He was not without his faults, but love for his fa mily and pride-in his craft were not among them. “The lives of those who were touched by his influence will be the poorer for his passing.” LEGION AUXILIARY TO MEET TODAY The American Legion Auxi liary will meet Thursday after noon at 4 p. m. at the home of Mrs. Harry Epting. Associate Hostesses will be Miss Sudie Dennis, Mrs. Hal Kohn, Sr., and Miss Grace Cromer. WANT ADS H. Grady Ballard BALLARD for Congress P. O. Box Easley 1970 S.

Trick balls and bats plus running and fielding stunts? Topped off by a surprise end ing? That’s right. It’s an outstand ing combination of serious and novelty softball billed as the Philadelphia Hobos. The Hobos will be in New berry Monday, Sept. 7, for a Labor Day contest against the Newberry All-Stars. Being spon sored by the Newberry Recrea tion Department, the game will begin at 1:30 p. m. at Hedge- path Stadium. The content of the Hobo game is two-pronged. The first three innings are played in a serious, hustling style to show the fans that the team is made up of talented players from the best fast pitch league in Philadel phia. What happens after the first three frames is chaotic, and the final four innings bear little re semblance to any other softball game. The center of attraction is usually pitcher Herman Skea, who pitches the ball blindfolded, from stilts, behind his back, through his legs and from se cond base. Skea founded the team in 1968, worked with the players in de veloping 37 pitching and batt ing stunts, and now heads up one of the most refreshing co medy teams to come along in years. CARD OF THANKS I wish to take this means to express my sincere gratitude for the many kindnesses shown me by my friends, neighbors, relatives, and pastor during the recent illness and death of my husband, James D. Brown. Your flowers, cards, letters, inquiries, food, and, above all, your prayers during this time were greatly appreciated. At times the way seemed so dark I did not feel that I could go on, but then a word of comfort or an act of kindness would give me courage to live through these trying hours. I shall al ways cherish these deeds of kindness deep within my heart. To the Doctors and Nurses at the Newberry Hospital and at Columbia Hospital, I say “Thank you” for ministering to my husbands needs. May God richly bless each of you. Leila T. Brown offered at Tech A ten-week Nurse’s Aide course will be offered by Pied mont Technical Education Cent er, Greenwood, beginning on September 14. The course is de signed for persons with little or no nursing experience, but who hold a high school diploma or its equivalent. The diploma will not be an absolute requirement, however. In announcing arrangements for the program, Roger T. Ti tus, Director of TEC’s Exten sion Division, stated: “Accord ing to our survey, there is an urgent need in our area for trained nurse’s aides. It is es timated that between 70 and 80 such aides will be employed this year by hospitals and nursing homes of this region.” The esti mate, Titus, pointed out, is bas ed on the assumption that this many aides will be available. Course content will deal with inter-personal relationships in the hospital environment, asep sis and sterility, personal care, anatomy, isolation techniques and other subjects that are per tinent to hospital requirements. Principal instructor will be Mrs. Margaret Pattillo, RN, of the Self Memorial Hospital staff. Providing technical assistance and critical oversight for the course is a Nurse’s Aide Advi sory Committee made up of re presentatives from area insti tutions. Committee members, Titus noted, will be “actively involved in the program on a continuing basis.” Persons interested in more in formation about the Nurse’s Aide course should come by Piedmont TEC, on Emerald Road, or call 223—8357. Regi stration should be completed by September 7. Cost of the course is $30.00 per person. USS DECATUR-Navy Chief Petty Officer Marvin J. Metts, son of Mrs. D. R.
