AMERICAN LEGION
AUXILIARY MEETS
Mrs. Tom M. Fellers will be
hostess for the January meet
ing of the American Legion Au
xiliary at her home at 4 p.m.
next Thursday, Jan. 4th. Assist
ing her will be Mrs. Fred
Schumpert, Mrs. J. N. Nichosia
and Mrs. Huston Long, asso
ciate hostesses.
As we look to the beginning
of the year 1973, I cannot help
but be optimistic for the out
come of South Carolina in 1973.
Due to the revenue sharing
money that we will be paid in
the year 1973 and the increased
economy, I don’t see wherein
City, County or State taxes
should be increased.
I predict that a solution for
the construction of a new hos
pital for Newberry County will
be worked out during the year
1973 as this is without a doubt
the most pressing need of New
berry County.
The textile picture in the Unit
ed States looks exceptionally
bright for 1973 and all persons
involved in the textile business
should have a good year in
1973, including employers and
employees.
With the construction of the
large timber processing plants
to be built in 1973 by Cham
pion International Company and
the other improvements made
in timber processing plants re
cently, “the Sleeping Giant” of
Newberry County which is tree
farming should find its place
in the growing and expanding
economy of our County and
State.
There is at the close of 1972
practically no unemplyment in
our County, in fact there is a
shortage of good available la
bor for our expanding indus
tries. I would forecast a growth
in the population in Newberry
County because of the housing
which is presently under con
struction throughout Newberry
County. Our County has been
hindered from growing because
of the lack of adequate housing
and with the housing projects
now under construction we
should see a population growth
that should result in further in
dustrial growth during the year
1973.
My wishes to the people in
1973 is that God may grant to
each of you the richest blessing
of all, Good Health.

An Announcement
Publication of The Sun will be sus
pended with this issue.
This is an announcement we find ex
tremely difficult to make and with
many regrets. This newspaper has been
in the Armfield family since it was
established in 1937 and has been oper
ated continuously except for a brief
time during World War II when we
were in the armed services and our sis
ters were in goverment defense work,
having only our father and mother to
carry on. It was resumed during the
war when part-time help was found.
We are going the way of many small
family weekly papers. Advertisers,
mainly national, have left the weekly
media and have turned to television and
other means for promoting their pro
ducts. Other smaller papers have sold
out to their competitors or newspaper
chains. We chose not to do this and will
retain the identity of The Sun.
We are grateful to the many New-
berrians and county business firms who
have supported us since we have been
in business here. A number of our ad
vertisers and subscribers have been
with us since the first issue was pub
lished, and we will always remember
their kindness and patronage.
We wish to especially thank our
mother who has been the mainstay of
our operation. She has served in nearly
all capacities connected with the busi
ness except the actual mechanical pro
duction of the paper. Without her help
and interest we would not have been
able to carry on as long as we have.
As we said, we regret that we have
had to make this decision. The paper
has been losing money for quite some
time now, and with the volume of print
ing we are now handling, it has taken
many long hours to keep up with our
work. And, frankly, we are tired. We
saw no other alternative but the one we
have chosen.
We will make good the remaining
time for our paid up subscribers. Checks
will be mailed immediately on a pro
rata basis to those whose subscriptions
have not expired. A number of our sub
scribers have been out for quite a while
and we have made no effort to have
them renewed. Any who wish to pay up
to date may call by our office. Your pa
per has a label with your name and to
the right is a date. For example Oct72.
This indicates the subscription expired
on the first day of October 1972. You
can tell if your paper has expired by
checking your label.
We are not going out of business, on
ly suspending publication of The Sun.
We will remain at the same location
and feel we will be able in the future
to better handle your printing needs.
We appreciate your past patronage
and look forward to our continued good
business relations in the future.
O. F. Armfield, Jr., Owner
