The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Dec. 3, 1970—PAGE 7 Indian suffer tourney defeat The Newberry Indians basket ball team was disappointed last weekend at the Tip-Off Tourna ment in Spartanburg as they were defeated by both Wofford and Erskine respectively. Newberry, the defending champion of the tourney failed to rally past the powerful Ter riers in the first round of play.. Wofford established supremacy early in the game, but could not play consistently enough to lock up the game. Newberry trailed at halftime 41-37 but the lead quickly shrank to one point with 7:26 remaining in the first half when a final flurry of Terrier baskets thwart ed the Newberry surge. A four-minute period of stag nation in the start of the se cond half hurt the tribe as Wofford raced to a 49-39 lead. Two baskets by the Indian’s Joe Styles pulled Newberry close for the final time. The Wofford lead was 53-49, with 10:16 remaining, but timely field goals by Doug Murray and Gary Short paced Wofford out of danger. The Terriers wound up with a 78-65 win. In the consolation game on Saturday night against the Er skine Flying Fleet, it was a wild and wooley contest. The game gradually became a very physical battle as men from both teams were ousted by the officials in the second half. Er skine had a 39-36 halftime lead, but the score was tied nine times in the final half of the play. The game ended in a deadlock for both teams. Er skine’s Stuart Andrews dropped in two timely field goals dur ing overtime, and a free throw put the game out of reach for the Indians as a field goal in the final five seconds was not enough to win. Erskine was vic torious 78-77. Newberry’s Tom Meadows earned a place on the All-Tour nament team along with PC’s Danny Yarbrough, Wofford’s Zede Bateman, and Erskine’s Skip Goley. CADET SATTERWHITE RECEIVES AWARD Michael W. Satterwhite of Newberry received a Distin guished Military Student award during special parade ceremo nies at Georgia Military Col lege.

Cadet Satterwhite, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Satterwhite of Route 3, is the cadet command ing officer of the Georgia Mili tary Cadet Battalion with the rank of a Cadet Lieutenant Co lonel. ELAINE MOORE WINS MARY GARDENHIRE TOURNAMENT The winner of the second Mary Gardenhire Handicap Tournament was Miss Elaine Moore, Physical Therapist at Whitten Village. Upon being presented the award, a silver tray, Miss Moore commented, “If it hadn’t been for Mary, I’d given up golf long ago. This underlines the object of the Tournament—to get more ladies interested in golf. Following the presentation by Gene King, son of the late Mrs. Gardenhire, refreshments were enjoyed by players and inte rested friends. The next Mary Gardenhire Handicap Tournament will be in November of 1971 and all lady golfers who are members of the Country Club of New berry are urged to start pre paring to participate. YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY “We frequently are so busy doing unimportant things in life that we fail to do the impor tant things. One of the most important things any parent can do is to keep the financial po sition of the family stable”, said H. M. Spiller, Field Re presentative, of the Greenwood Social Security Office: In order to protect the fa mily’s economy parents must be aware of their rights to So cial Security benefits. The So cial Security law changes fre quently. Many people who could not qualify for social security benefits 5 years ago can qua lify today. However, a new ap plication must be filed to get the checks started. Two exam ples are as follows: Several years ago a person had to have a permanent type disability to qualify for disability benefits. Now a worker who will be out of work for twelve full months because of a temporary disabi lity may qualify. Until recent years children couldn’t be paid on their mother’s work record unless she had worked under Social Security in the 3 year period ending with her death, disability or retirement. Now these same children can qualify if she worked under social se curity in earlier years long enough to be insured. One way to find out about these changes is to visit or tele phone the Social Security Office at Greenwood and ask questions. Another way is to invite a so cial security representative from the Greenwood Office to speak to your club, church, com munity organization, etc. Mr. Spiller closed with these words of advice, “Find out what your family can receive when the worker dies, becomes dis abled or retires. Call 223-1711 and make arrangements for a social security speaker to bring the members of your organiza tion up to date on Social Se curity.” WITH MEN IN The SERVICES VIETNAM — Army Sergeant Benny L.
