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.

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.”

Philly Hoboes
be here Monday
A smoke bomb at second
base? 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.
