The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Feb. 18, 1971—PAGE 3 INSTANT DRAMA—Limestone College Instant’ Drama Theatre, under the direc tion of Laurens Moore, gave demonstra tions of instant Drama at the 70th anni versary of the Woman’s Club Reciprocity meeting last Thursday at the Community Hall. Mrs. Gordon Blackwell is club presi dent and Mrs. Steve C. Griffith served as chairman for the reciprocity meeting. (Sunphoto) Pay tribute to late Mrs. Rucker “So live that, when thy sum mons comes to join the innu merable caravan, which moves to that mysterious realm, where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death. Thou go not, like a quarry- slave at night, scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.” - Bryant How often and how futilely have these words been used by those of us who must still live after a loved one has gone. A loved one has gone from the Gallman Junior High Family in the person of Sarah Bouknight Rucker. She finished Lander College in 1935; taught in Cayce for two years; in Greenville for five years; and since 1946 she has served in the schools of Newberry County-over half of her life, and the most of her adult life, as a teacher. This school has sustained a loss-her students are heartbroken. How does one mourn a complete life? How does one regret that cares, woes, pains, frustrations, and heartaches have at last ended? A complete life has two extremities - birth, the gene sis; and death, the exodus; all we have on earth is the interval between the two. Her life was spent in the service of her fel- lowman - the children whom she taught, and her peers with whom she worked. Perhaps this is rationalization, but after all it is we who suffer, we must live without hen. The Gallman Junior High Family is thankful to its Maker for having known and loved Sarah Bouknight Rucker. May her soul rest in peace and may God give us strength to bear our loss. Board changes teacher policy The Newberry County Board of Education Tuesday night made a change in its policy concerning teachers who be come pregnant. The new policy requires that a teacher who becomes preg nant must notify her principal immediately. The principal and the district superintendent of schools, in conference with the teacher, will determine her teaching status for the remaind er of the school session. The previous policy was that a teacher had to submit her resignation immediately and that the school board and the principal would determine the date of her resignation. The board took the action after a number of teachers com plained at the last board meet ing. In other action, the board voted to allow Silverstreet Little League to proceed with plans to renovate the Silverstreet athletic field. The league pro poses making about $10,000 worth of renovations to the field including the addition of lighting and fences. The board voted to lease Whitmire Ball Park at $1 per year from the J.P. Stephens Co. The county schools will have to furnish lighting and main tenance. The board voted to turn down a request from the American Legion for use of a high school bus during the summer. They also voted to reelect for the coming year all school prin cipals in the county. The board extended deadline for comple tion of work on new additions on Carver Elementary School until March 3ft. Kendall sales at all time high Boston — The Kendall Com pany saw its sales reach an all-time high in 1970 but watch ed earnings dip, Kendall’s pre sident Willard M. Bright said in a preliminary statement of 1970 results issued today. The record sales of $237,620,- 000 were up 2.7 per cent over 1969 results while net earnings of $9,336,000, equal to $1.43 per common share, declined 9.7 per cent from the $10,335,000 or $1.59 earned the previous year. Dr. Bright noted Kendall’s sales growth in its principal health products lines and in nonwoven fabrics. He said that inflationary pressures and the general recession of the eco nomy had depressed sales in other product areas and had increased costs limiting oppor tunities for earnings growth. Sales of surgical dressings and related products to hospi tals rose 13 per cent in 1970, while sales of nonwoven fabrics and products made from those fabrics scored still larger in creases, the report said. Kendall’s volume of all con sumer products also rose but at a slower rate of growth, in part due to sluggish retail sales. On the other hand, sales of industrial tapes, pipeline pro tective coatings, and sales of fabrics to the textile and ap parel trades declined from their record 1969 volume levels. Last year “served Kendall very well for the future,” Dr. Bright said. “During 1970, we improved our future service to customers by creating two new shipping centers. We also pre sented customers with new dis posable nonwoven fabric health care products, the first result ing from our recent increased research expenditures.” HOSPITAL PATIENTS Mrs. Sara Beam, Prosperity Jakie Bedenbaugh, City Mrs. Lillian Bell, City John Boozer, City Albert Brazell, Prosperity Mrs. Margaret Bryson, City Jerry Burgess, Kinards Mrs. Ola Carlisle, City Richard Caldwell, City Hugh Chapman, Pomaria Mrs. Mary Clamp, City Miss Geneva Corley, City John Cotney, Prosperity Mrs. Iona Counts, City Little Sendy Davenport, City Mrs. Frances Danielson, City Ben Dawkins, City Mrs. Edna Dedmond, City Mrs. Mabell Dennis, City Mrs. Margie DeWalt, City Mrs. Rosa Ellisor, City Mrs. Minnie Farrow, City Mrs. Hattie Ferguson, City Albert Franklin, City Mrs. Nina Frick, Little Moun tain William Frye, City Roland Godfrey, Joanna Mrs. Emma Goff, City Mrs. Onie Goldsmith, City Ray Graham, Sr., Pomaira Mrs. Ella Gray, City Mrs. Willie Harvey, Clinton Mrs* Verdell Holmes, City Mrs. Lois Huckaby, Silverstreet Baby George Willie Kinard, City Virgil Koon, City Mrs. Lucia Lake, City Mrs. Ann Lathrop & Baby Boy, Pomaria Mrs. Susie Lee, Whitmire Andrew Lindler, Chapin Mrs. Janie Long, City Mrs. Emmie Maddox, City Sim Mathis, City Mrs. Mary Meetze, Pomaria Miss Ruby Nance, City Miss Mattie Lou Praylow, Prosperity Mrs. Mary Salters, City Richard Sanders, Clinton Mrs. Edna Schwarz, City Mrs. Caroline Smith, Kinards Rev.
