Miss Koon is Byrnes scholar Frances Katherine Koon, a Newberry College freshman from Pomaria, is one of 37 students from South Carolina who have received a James F. Byrnes Foundation Scholarship for the 1971-72 school year. The Foundation, which is named in honor of the former governor of South Carolina, has awarded some 358 scholarships since 1948. The awards are made to students with records of scho lastic excellence and leadership attributes who demonstrate the need for financial assistance.

Roberts reports bond sales up Joe M. Roberts, County Sav ings Bonds Chairman reports that combined E and H Sav ings Bonds sales for April in Newberry County totalled $18,- 885. Combined E and H Bond sales for April in South Caro lina totalled $2,905,080, an in crease of 11 percent over April 1970 sales. County Chairman Roberts re minds Newberry County resi dents that all outstanding Se ries E and H Savings Bonds and all Freedom Shares con tinue to draw interest, as a re sult of action recently taken by the Treasury. The Treasury has granted ad ditional 10-year maturity exten sions to Series E Savings Bonds through January 1957, and to Series H Bonds issued from June 1952 through January 1957. Also, Freedom Shares, sold May 1967 through June 1970, have been given a 10-year ex tension beyond their original 4-1-2 year maturity. “This means Savings Bonos owners can continue to count on their older Bonds as part of their long-range financial planning for retirement secu rity, children’s educations, and new homes”, Mr. Roberts said. Boys State to open June 6 Sunday, June 6, has been set as the opening day for the 1971 session of Palmetto Boys’ State at The Citadel. Boys’ State is sponsored annually by the Ame rican Legion’s Department of South Carolina. Some 600 carefully-selected rising high school seniors from throughout the state are expect ed to attend. They will form a hypothetical state government during the week-long session which ends June 12. This will be the 28th year for the program, and the eighth consecutive year that Boys’ State has been held at The Ci tadel. It will also be the eighth year Virgil W. Duffie, Jr., of Columbia, has served as direc tor of Boys’ State, and the twentieth year he has been connected with the program. He heads a 75-member staff of volunteer workers who are re imbursed only for expenses. He reports that “We now have more staff than we had dele gates to the first Palmetto Boys’ State session.” The first session had only 56 delegates. The Citadel was described by Page N. Keesee of Columbia, the Legion’s department adju tant, as the “ideal environ ment” for this experience in government and citizenship. The entire campus will be at the disposal of the Boys Staters since their meeting is scheduled between the close of the col lege year and the opening of The Citadel Summer Camp for Boys and The Citadel Summer School. As in past years, they will be housed in cadet bar racks during their stay on cam- pus. The boys will be citizens of a mythical state and will be divided into five counties nam ed for famous South Caroli nians. Each county will have three cities named for state rivers. In past years a great deal of lively politicking for office has been part of the session as the youths get down to the business of establishing state, county, and city governments. Summer jobs for teenagers With the summertime school recess near, the U.S. Depart ment nf Labor’s Wage-Hour Di vision today assured employers that child labor laws permit the hiring of even 14 and 15- year-old students in certain cle rical and sales occupations dur ing the vacation period. Richard F. Gardner, the Di vision’s Area Director in Co lumbia, South Carolina, points out that such workers in this age group may be employed between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. from June 1 to La bor Day. However, they may work no more eight hours per day and nor more than 40 hours per week. Gardner explains that these work-hour restrictions do not apply to 14 and 15-year-olds (or to anv minor) doing farm work outside school hours. Nei ther do they apply to those in this age bracket who deliver newspapers to consumers; cad dy; perform in theatrical, mo tion picture or broadcast pro ductions, or who work for their parents in non-manufacturing capacities. Those under 14 may be em ployed in non-agricultural work but only by their parents and only in non-manufacturing and non-mining and in occupations not declared hazardous by the Secretary of Labor. The only jobs not open to 16 and 17-year old workers are those the Se cretary has ruled hazardous. Students 18 years of age and older may be employed in any type of work. According to bass-tournament winner. Bill Dance, there are three pieces of equipment that make tournament fishing possible, or any fishing more successful: an electric thermometer to reveal the lake’s temperatures at various depths; a fathometer to indicate where the bottom is and its shape; and a topographic or hydrographic map of the bottom of a lake or reser- voir.—SPORTS AFIELD Annual Meeting OF NEWBERRY ELECTRIC COOP.
