College folk continue work on illiteracy The Newberry College drive to reach every county in South Carolina during the school year in an effort to help curb illite racy among the 230,000 adult illiterates in the state got under way last weekend (Sept.18-19) when a team of two students and one faculty member were in the Morris Brown A M E Church in Charleston to conduct a training program. “The project of teaching adults to learn to read is one of the most exciting things our students and staff are doing,” Dr. A.G.D. Wiles said in com menting on the program. The Newberry College campaign to help erase adult illiteracy uses the nationwide Laubach “each one-teach one” method. Under the Laubach system, a person completes a nine-hour tutor training session; after the train ing period he is then able to work individually with adult il literates teaching them to read. Newberry College is the of ficial tutor training agency of the South Carolina Literacy As sociation (SCLA) headed by Ben Bagwell of Greenville. The Rev. Harry Weber, chaplain at New berry College, is coordinating the program again this year stated that six more tutor train ing sessions have been sche duled through the middle of Oc tober. Teams from the College will be in Orangeburg, York, Camden, and Goose Creek (Berkeley County) September 25-26, Lancaster, October 2-3; and Aiken, October 9-10 to con duct similar tutor training work shops. Chaplain Weber spearheaded the College’s participation in the teaching crusade last fall by setting up sessions to train tutors. “Our first objective this year,” Chaplain Weber said, “is to continue the tutor training sessions so that we can send qualified persons to every cor ner of the state to organize workshops to train the volun teer tutors. Help in the project comes from the South Carolina Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jay- cees), the SCLA, and from grants from the Lutheran Church in America. The agen cies supplied funds, leadership, the necessary teaching mate rials, and the staff to conduct WANT ADS H. Grady Ballard BALLARD for Congress P. O. Box Easley 1970 S.

Rubber Stamps Made at THE SUN Office History books about state at library To help residents and visitors know about the history of South Carolina during 300th Anniver sary, The South Carolina State Library has published a list of significant books about the Pal metto State. Copies of the list are now available at the Newberry Sa luda Regional Library, its bran ches and on the bookmobiles. Entitled “Historic South Car olina, A literary tour of the state,” the list is divided into four categories each containing titles on one particular period of South Carolina history. Samples of books from each historical period fere: The Cul ture of Early Charleston, deal ing with South Carolina’s first city during the formative years of the state; Ante-bellum South Carolina, a look at South Caro lina society during the years preceding the War Between the States; Storm Over Sumter* cov ering events at the beginning of the War; and Porgy, reflecting one aspect of Southern life since the 1880’s. In addition, the reading list can be obtained at all highway Welcome Centers and at each of the three Tricentennial Ex position Parks in Charleston, Columbia and Greenville. Volumes for the reading list were chosen because they are particularly good accounts of various phases of South Caro lina history and because they are available in most libraries throughout the country as well as those in South Carolina. Books for the reading list were also selected on the basis of general appeal and variety. “If you enjoy reading and are interested in the heritage of your state, now is the time to learn more about it. Ask for a copy of “Historic South Caro lina” and select the books that will better acquaint you with our state,” said Miss Verna S. Kohn, librarian. M0VINGS Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Abra ham have moved to Route 3 to make their home. the training workshops at New berry College. “'Hie adult illiteracy problem is acute,” W. D. Workman, III, of Greenville said when he laun ched the program at Newberry in 1969. In urging all South Car olinians to assist in the pro gram, Workman stated, “It is inconceivable that anyone would seek to deny any individual the education he needs to get by in this world, regardless of race, religion or any other conside rations. This is a program of good will in this state to work to improve the lot of their neighbors-and across the street, not in the next county or the next country.” Workman is state chairman of the Jaycee Adult Education promotion Project and secre tary-treasurer of the SCLA. Twenty-one Newberry College students and faculty accepted Workman’s challenge and took the nine-hour tutor training ses sion. Following their training period, they went to eight South Carolina communities (Beau fort, Central, Cheraw, Clemson, Dillon, Laurens, Myrtle Beach, and Pendleton) and trained 150 tutors. Many of the Newberrians weren’t satisfied in just train ing tutors; they put their know ledge to work and taught some of the 3,175 adult illiterates in Newberry County to read. Many attend press day Over 125 staff members of high school newspapers and their advisers from 20 South Carolina high schools received guidelines on how to produce a newspaper at the first annual High School Press Day at New berry College Saturday. The young journalists listened to sessions conducted by Dr. Reid Montgomery, secretary- manager of the South Carolina Press Association and president of the National Council of Col lege Publications Advisers; Har rison Jenkins, associate editor of the Columbia Record; Bill Morgan, representative of the Paragon Press; Fletcher Fer guson, news and sports editor of the Abbeville Press and Ban ner; Audrey Henry, former school publications adviser in Iowa and Illinois; and Gordon C.
