Drought sufferers eligible for aid Senator Strom Thurmond an nounced today that sixteen South Carolina counties have been recommended by the South Carolina Disaster Commit tee to be eligible for emergency livestock feed. Senator Thurmond said, “I have been working on this for some time and will follow through with the Secretary of Agriculture Clifford Hardin to see that these designated areas are approved.” Extreme drought and corn blight affecting these areas have necessitated eligibility for this emergency program. The sixteen counties include Newberry. Erskine students help Pakistanis Because Erskine College stu dents voluntarily gave up their desserts from Thanksgiving un til the Christmas holidays, the college has been able to make a $700 contribution for survivors of the cyclone-tidal wave disa ster in Pakistan. Charles H. Carlisle, vice pre sident for business and finance at Erskine, has mailed the check on behalf of the Erskine stu dent body to the Greenville County Chapter of the Ameri can Red Cross. The check will be mailed to the American Red Cross and will be sent to the Pakistan Red Cross Society by way of the International Red Cross. The means of aiding Pakistan disaster victims was conceived by a pair of Erskine students, Mary Parr of Newberry and Robert Lesslie of Due West, both members of the Erskine Scholars. Miss Parr brought the sug gestion before the Erskine stu dent body, and all Erskine stu dents agreed to have desserts omitted from their dining hall menu until the Christmas holi days so the savings might be sent to the Pakistan relief ef fort. They brought the idea to Mr. Carlisle, who heartily endorsed it and promised the coopera tion of the college. Mr. Car lisle read a request for dona tions to the disaster victims from the Greenville County Chapter of the Red Cross and found this to be a good channel through which to send the Er skine gift.
