Highway Map Shows Famous Battlegrounds nil McCORMICK McCormick High, School may soon get a new vocational education facility if the State Board of Education approves an application submitted recently by the County Board of Education. Supt.

H. A. Roberts Jr. said that the State Department has allocated $300,000 in state and federal funds for vocational construction with the stipulation that the county provide $100,000. Roberts said that the $100,000 can be raised by applying the cost of the land, which the school district, already owns, as part of county's cost.

The balance will be raised by applying a small percentage of the building fund allocation received each year from the state.

The South Carolina Highway Department's new 1975 primary system map, now ready for distribution, dramatizes South Carolina's role as "The Battleground of Freedom" in the American Revolutionary War. Chief Highway Commissioner Silas N. Pearman presented first copies of the new map to former Gov. John C. West and Gov.

James B. Edwards in a ceremony in the governor's office. Rep, Sam Manning of Spartanburg, vice chairman of the South Carolina American Revolution Bicentennial Commission, who assisted in development of the map, also took part. Pearman said the map is one of the Highway Department's bicentennial projects being carried out in cooperation with the overall state effort. Already, the department has joined with the Garden Club of South Carolina to plant crepe myrtle trees along 1-26.

The vehicle license plate in 1976 will have a bicentennial motif. "The Battleground of Freedom" theme features six of the most important of 150 battles and skirmishes fought on South Carolina soil, more than in any other state, plus the partisan activities of Marion, Sumter and Pickens.

Even so, about 242,000 of the industry's 685,000 workers will be off the job when the new week begins, a result of poor sales. Ford said Friday it is recalling 39,900 of 52,525 workers who were on tem porary layoff this week.

But Ford said another 21,750 workers at 10 manufacturing plants would be added to the jobless roles for one week starting Monday. The manpower changes bring Ford's temporary layoffs next week to 34,375. In addition, the company said 1,125 workers would be placed on indefinite furlough Monday, raising open-ended layoffs at the firm to 33,775. Chrysler is keeping three of. its six car plants and a truck plant closed again next week in a move that will extend the layoffs of 13,750.

Chrysler also has 50,000 workers on indefinite layoff. Spokesmen at Ford and GM said the manpower changes are in line with plans announced earlier for substantially reduced production in the first quarter of the year, and do not suggest an upward revision in planned output. Ten of Ford's 14 U.S. car plants, seven of its nine truck' plants and five of its 46 manufacturing plants were shut this week. The company said 11 car facilities and all its truck lines would operate next week.

GM will have 10,455 workers on temporary layoff and four plants shut next week, compared with 34,880 workirs and seven plants this week. Another 100,000 GM workers are on indefinite layoff.

The train was coming out of the tunnel into the station when Sanderson saw Michelle DeJesus, 4. "When I saw the little girl sprawled across the track, I just jumped down," Sanderson said.

My first thought ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) An influenza epidemic now centered in the Southeast is spreading to the north, the national Center for Disease Control reports. The CDC, in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report issued Friday, estimated 530 persons would die in the United States from pneumonia and influenza during the second week in January.

t- The predominant flu strain is known as the Type A Port Chalmers variety. Deaths are reported weekly to the CDC from the vital statistics offices of 121 cities which include about 70 million persons grouped in various regional fireas. The CDC bases its report on the sampling. Dr, Lawrence, Corey, head of the center's influenza surveillance section, said when at least SO more deaths than expected are reported, it indicates a substantial increase, "which we define as the epidemic threshold." A vaccine which is effective against Type A Port Chalmers flu is available, the CDC said. The report said the epidemic is occurring in Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and 60-ACRE COMPLEX -AROUND CAPITOL LITTLE ROCK (AP) The secretary of state of Arkansas is in charge of the state capital building and surrounding 60-' acre complex.

Joanne DeJesus, who had been waiting with her daughter around 5 p.m. Thursday for the train home, said Michelle slipped from her grasp and started running along the platform. "All of a sudden she slipped over the side. I didn't know what to do.

I just started screaming," she said. Sanderson, 34, an unemployed musician, slipped away before Mrs. DeJesus could thank him. She said later she would "like to say something wonderful to him." Michelle was checked by doctors at Metropolitan Hospital and found to be unharmed. NEW YORK (AP) Few Americans applauded President Ford's new economic and energy policies more warmly this past week than the nation's automakers.

This was 'natural enough since the Ford program, unveiled to the nation in a preview speech Monday night and again in the State of the Union address Wednesday, echoed strongly the stated desires of Bell operates a cotton, soybean and beef cattle farm in Saluda County.

After President Ford's address Monday, General Motors chairman Thomas A.

Murphy praised the major provisions of the economic program, and added: "We were particularly pleased that the President favors a five-year hold on the present level of automobile emissions." GM President Elliott M. Estes added his praise for Ford's energy conservation plans, which included stepped-up coal and nuclear production a move which would free more oil for automobile use. The thrust of the auto industry's praise for the Ford program, especially the tax cut, reflected the view that more dollars in Americans' pockets will mean more spending for new cars. As Henry Ford II said in a telegram to the President after his speech Wednesday, "I hope the Congress will move quickly to weigh your suggestions and enact legislation that can turn this economy around and earn the increased confidence of the American people." But others, particularly environmentalists, took a more jaundiced view of the Ford program. "It seems to us this is a complete capitulation to the auto industry," said Brock Evans, Washington director of the Sierra Club.

In consumer advocate Ralph Nader's view, the Ford proposals demonstrated "misplaced confidence" in the auto industry which, he said, "has never fulfilled previous promises to voluntarily improve fuel efficiency and emissions controls "The similarity between the Ford plans and what businesses have been lobbying for defies probability," said Dave Sherdan, director of the Washington-based Energy Policy Project.

"The time has come," Henry Ford II, chairman of Ford Motor said Dec 9, "for the government to recognize that recession has replaced inflation as the greatest and most im-mediate domestic problem.

"Recognize it they did. President Ford, a Michigan congressman for 26 years, said in his State of the Union message: "The emphasis of our economic efforts must now shift from inflation to jobs." One of the main antedotes prescribed by the Ford administration to fight recession was a tax cut of $12 billion for individuals and $4 billion to corporations this year almost precisely what Henry Ford had urged in his Dec. 9 speech. "A 10 per cent reduction in withholding would increase personal disposable income by more than $1 billion a month," the automaker said. At the same time Henry Ford and Ford president Lee A.

The computer in turn prints a spending plan that is edited by Dr. Al Tinsley and Miss Veronica Carmack, Clemson Extension Specialists, and returned to each person.

These plans are confidential and contain only the person's social security number. No one else sees the spending plan. The next meeting of the group is Tuesday, Feb. 11. Dr.

NEWS from your I PHARMACIST LARRY OSCAR LINDA C. AMICK PARR1SH REESE True 7o His Colors' Tells Story Of S. C. Sen. Nathaniel Dial PARRiSH PHARMACY at Greenwood Medical Center Trees for sale! Improved loblolly pine, loblolly pine, white pine, longleaf pine, red cedar, and yellow poplar seedlings will be sold Tuesday.

The Greenwood Federation of Garden Clubs is making these trees available to homeowners for five cents each. You may buy one or one-hundred for this price. The Federation is assisted by the S. C. Commission of Forestry in this annual event.

The trees will be sold in the basement of the Courthouse from9a.m. to 4 p.m. This is the only date the seedlings will be offered for sale. Homeowners are not able to buy trees of this type from the S. C.

Commission of Forestry unless they purchase 500 at a time. All trees grow rapidly and each type has a place in the landscaping of the home grounds or for community planting. The white pine, loblolly pine and yellow poplar would be ideally suited for street tree planting in new subdivisions. Yellow poplar, or tulip tree, is fast growing and has a beautiful yellow blossom that blooms in May. The major disadvantage of it as a yard shade tree is its fast growth and tall height.

The limbs also break easily. Vegetable gardeners are reminded of the Gardeners Clinic at Piedmont TEC Auditorium Thursday, Jan. 23, 30 and Feb. 6. It begins at 7 p.m.

General guidelines can be formulated, but remember each child is an individual that must develop at his or her own pace.

What is true for child is not necessarily valid for another. Young mothers should remember that -to push a child too far, too fast, will sometimes cause the child to rebell against authority. Push your child to greater achievement in a gentle manner. Try to recognize him limitations. Your child's welfare becomes our concern when he needs medication.

Miss Rebecca Dial has been in Greenwood this week in connection with recent publication of her book "True To His Colors, A Story of South Carolina's Senator Nathaniel Barksdale Dial." Miss Dial, a daughter of Senator Dial, was visiting with Mrs. James Hemphill, a friend since Converse College days. An autograph party has been arranged for Emblad's book store here on Feb. 8.

The story, written in the form of "factual novel," tells the story of Senator Dial's life, spanning the period from his birth in 1862 to his death in Washington at the age of 78. He rode with Hampton's Red Shirts at 14, and Hampton's commendation, "I see you are true to your colors," became his motto. He became mayor of Laurens at 25. An interesting part of the narrative to Greenwood County was the work of Senatorial in the industrial development of Ware Shoals. He defeated Coleman L.

Blease for the U. S. Senate in 1918 an endorsement by President Woodrow Wilson. D. D.

Wallace in his history of South Carolina calls Dial "a successful businessman, moderate, of strong common sense, a firm supporter of President Wilson." Blease defeated Dial six years later. His daughter writes that his concerned effort for the betterment of people was genuine, but "it was too remote for workers even to be aware of. Blease was their kind, they felt, and with little persuasion they voted for him." Miss Dial has been busy with promotion of the book since its publication late last year, and has a number of engagements lined up for the future. She will be at Spartanburg Jan. 22 at a luncheon for the League of American Pen-women, and autographs at the county fair; at Greenville Jan.
