siding.
The meeting was called to
order by Mrs. Baker, after
which invocation was delivered

Tuffy Millstead’s activities with
the Committee would be limited

made and passed that a note
of appreciation for his outstand

Riebe was asked to handle this.
Mrs. Baker then asked for the
following reports:
City of Newberry—Mr. Ken
Riebe reported a trash contain
er has been installed on Main
Street near the Winn-Dixie
Store. From all reports, the
“Clean-Up Campaign”, April 12-
17, was most effective. One pro
blem encountered was that
some trash was piled in some
locations where the large trucks
could not get to it. The Com
mittee suggested a follow-up
campaign following the 2-week
campaign to clean up trash,
etc. that could not be cleaned
up during the campaign. Mr.
Riebe also reported the skating
rink and bandstand at Willow-
brook Park has been torn down
and grass planted. Extensive
work has been done in the Ma
rion Davis and Wise Street
Parks. The City planted 8 ce
dar trees in the Matthews Park
area to replace trees which
had been taken down. The swim
ming pool, etc. at Margaret
Hunter Park have been painted
and made ready for the sum
mer months. The Tau Kappa
Epsilon Fraternity from New
berry College was awarded
Certificates of Appreciation by
City Council for their assistance
in this. The city gave financial
assistance toward a special
clean-up of the Werts Cemetery.

“It is inevitable that we must
one day take this step to provide
for the pressing health care
needs of the people in New
berry County. To delay will only
cost the taxpayers more mo

star signs grant
A star football and baseball
player from Walterboro—Arnold
Zipperer, III—has signed an
athletics grant-in-aid at New
berry College for the 1971-72
school year.

for three years and was Walter

hospital
a hospital that will cost about
$4.5 million, including the $2,250-
000 from the bond referendum
plus matching grants.”
“We are convinced that the
only way Newberry County will
attract new doctors — not only
specialists but general practi
tioners — is to build an ade
quate facility in which they can
practice their skills. Failure to
do this will result in serious
doctor shortages and medical
deficiencies.”
The board noted that the pre
sent hospital “runs the risk of
loss of accreditation and reduc
tion of clinic status.”
Tuesday’s special referen
dum was called for in April of
this year when the county dele
gation introduced a bill in the
legislature providing for a spe
cial referendum on a bond is
sue for the purposes of build
ing a new hospital.
The 115-bed, five story facility
is expected to cost about four
and a half million dollars, with
50 per cent of the cost to be
financed with matching federal
funds.
Plans call for the hospital to
be located on a site fronting
on Kinard Street, immediately
behind Bi-Lo Shopping Center.
The facility is to include a com
plete intensive care unit.
Only four of the fifty boxes
carried against the issuance of
hospital bonds. They were Do
minick, Midway, Oneal No. 1
and Wheeland.
