■ .IIIMIMI.IIIIII—M—— THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. DECISION AGAINST FREE SPEECH CURBS . . . Twitchell Takes Supreme Court to Task . . . GIVES ELMER REASON TO GRIPE By H. I. PHILLIPS TWITCHELL VS. DOUGLAS “About the only fellow who can get into trouble easily today in America is the one who believes In law and order, pauses for sec* ond wind now and then and be lieves there are limits to breach of the peace,” declares Elmer Twitchell. He has been going over the recent supreme court decision by a 5 to 4 vote against curbs on hatred, violence and rabble rous ing tactics even when they bring on riots. * ••ira the voice-thrower yelling for mob rule who gets an Oscar, a pat on the back, the green, light These Brave Ones 1 MARK the men and women every day Who pass my door, or whom I hourly meet. And there are few who, journeying on the way, // Fail to do their beSt. Although their feet May falter with the burdens that they bear. There are so few who break beneath despair. They face their days with confidence and cheer, Grateful for work, if there be work to do. And if that work be loft they fight their fear With courage, and with hope which they renew At the clear source from which all comfort springs: God’s promises, and the old rememberings That hitherto the Lord has blessed, and now Surely there will be found a way again To usefulness and service, that somehow The paths will dear among the ways of men. And the crooked places once more will be ftraight. God, keep these brave ones as they hope and wait-*. / Grace Noll Crowell and the embossed permit,” added Elmer. * "It was another one of those photo finishes due to a strong stretch ran by Justice Doug las," declares Elmer. “Bill, speaking for the majority opin ion, said the authorities have no right to curb speeches no matter how violent or full of hatred. He says that if Amer ica Is to be vital it has got to have the rabble rousers shoot the works. In other words, we have got to preserve our vital ity even If we use our last ounce of strength. * "We are leaning over backwards so far for free speech that those who stop at nothing to scuttle our freedoms are getting the right of way at all times. The demagogue, the earsplitter, the gasbag and the microphone bellyacher are getting a pat on the back, a license to op erate with the throttle wide open and a kiss from the high courts. You would think they are the back bone of the country and that the enemy was the quiet, thoughtful, tolerant little guy who always kept his voice down, respected the police and wanted no tear bombs tossed at anybody. * "The five justices held that no speeches should be curbed until it was clearly shown that they might cause trouble Tar above the public inconvenience, annoyance or unrest.’ ” * And since the case lu question was one which involved street riots, rock hurling, personal as saults and stench bombs, it would seem that these jurists classified such violence as merely an Inconvenience and an annoyance. "The other four justices took the view that it is more than an in convenience and a nuisance to find yourself Hat on your puss with the BY INEZ GERHARD D AN SEYMOUR has shared a microphone with such head liners as Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Milton Berle, Benny Goodman, Andre Kostelanetz and Lily Pons. After 14 years on the air as a mas ter of ceremonies he says “The bigger they are, the nicer they are. Maybe it’s because they are so well established they don’t have to ‘pound’ every line and grab DAN SEYMOUR every minute of their air time.” As emcee of the Tuesday night "We, the People" and the Saturday night "Sing It Again,” he has established a reputation for expert handling of a variety of ad-lib-demanding situa tions. That ability to think and talk fast requires real talent, and he has it. MacDonald Carey is In the mar- Jcot for a good comedy.

Gloria Swanson, starring in Paramount’s "Sunset Boule vard” after a long absence from the screen, turned down a contract for $18,000 a week in 1326 to organise her own company; hence, that long ab sence from pictures. She’ll never make a bigger mistake. But she has not lost her looks or her figure—even looked won derful on television! Robert Sterling feels better now that the feud between him and Sun beam is over. It began with the start of “Roughshod”; the horse realized that this was Sterling’s first riding assignment—nipped Sterling whenever he turned his back, tried, to throw him at un expected moments. Sterling figured even a horse had his price, won Sun beam with plenty of sugar. The Fiction A PRINCE CAN LAUGH By Richard H. Wilkinson Corner A WEEK after I established resi dence in Seabrook, Ray Quimper, my next door neighbor took time off to drive me around the town and show me the points of interest. Toward evening he stop ped his car before a driveway that led up to a huge brick house on top of Drybridge Hill. It was the only brick building in town and could be seen for miles around. I had wondered about it since the day of my arrival. “The home of Prince Alex ander Moisevich Deborin,” he explained. I looked at him curiously, sensing that this was a proud moment for Ray. He had saved the brick house until last, like a child relishing the last morsel. “Of course," Ray explained further “he has a city home too. But the fact is he spends the greater part of his time out here. He craves solitude.” “Are you sure? I mean, wouldn’t it be fitting to let the man know you’re glad to have him as a citi zen?” “We’ve tended to that,” Ray said importantly. “Three days after his arrival a committee made up of leading citizens waited on the prince and extended him a formal welcome.” He regarded me sagely. “We’re smart enough not to an tagonize the man by pestering him to death.” On the day of winch I write I was removing the storm windows from my house, for spimg was near and the day was bright and warm. The prince came strolling along my street and stopped, oddly enoug v at the end of my drive to watch, x perceived him from the corner of my eye, though gave no indication that I had seen. After a moment or two, much to my satisfaction, he turned in at the drive and came slowly toward me. At this precise moment the stepladder on which I was standing tilted precariously and the window I was removing threat ened to tumble to the ground. I uttered a cry of alarm, turned, perceived the prince as if for the first time, and shouted to him for aid. Involuntarily, he leaped forward and steadied the ladder until I had de scended. “Phew!” I grinned. “That was a close call.” "It was indeed,” he replied. "Would you mind holding the lad der for me on this window over here?” He seemed a little sur prised, but agreed to lend his as sistance. He proved as good a helper as I could have asked for. Three windows I removed while he steadied the ladder and helped me lower them to the ground. We chatted amiably about the weather. P RESENTLY the task was done and I turned to him, grinning. “Thanks a lot. I don’t know how I would have managed without you.” "Really?” He seemed to appreci ate my compliment. “Frankly, I’ve enjoyed it, not only the work, but our little visit.” He hesitated. “You are new in town, aren’t you?” “Comparatively,” I said. “It’s a mightly nice town. Folks are all like yourself. Ready and willing to lend a hand when help is needed.” I smiled happily. “The fact that I know your name, Prince Alexan der, proves a little theory of my own.” He stared in astonishment. “You know who I am? You knew when you asked me to help remove the windows?” I nodded. “Your philosophy and mine have a good deal in common. Prince. And that is, that you’re no different from the rest of us. I’d even venture to say that you are quite unhappy living up there in your castle so far removed from everybody. To prove that I am right, I’m going to ask you a ques tion. Tomorrow I’m going fishing. How would you like to come along?” “I’d like to very much,” he said. "But we must keep it a secret from the rest of the people. It would be a pity to destroy their illusion.” I agreed, winking at him know ingly, and the prince and I then and there shared a hearty laugh. mm piiiile LAST WEEKS ANSWER 10. 11. 12. 14. 16. 17. 18. 21. 24. 25. 27. 31. 33. 34. 38. 39. 40. 43. 46 47. 48. 49 50 ACROSS One of two equal parts Inner bark of linden tree Sandarac tree Reverberate Play Wobbly Mad Female ruff Tellurium (sym.)

Conquest of Death Lesson for June 19, 1949 Story Book Kitty Pinafore SCRIPTURE: Mark 18:1-8: John 81: 1-17: I Corinthians 15:12-19. DEVOTIONAI. READING: Luke 84: 81-23. PUZZLE NO. 3 D OCTORS TALK about conquer ing death, but they never do. All they can manage is to put it off a little. In all the long sad story of mankind there is only one absolute conquest of death. It hap pened on the first Easter morning, and it was a turn ing point in the his tory of the world. The few lines about the Resurrection, in our New Testa ment, would not cover the front page of this newspaper. We do not know all we want to know. But those few lines Dr. Foreman tell us enough to set us singing, they are a solid fouiv dation for a scaring faith. The Mighty Act of God W E shall be disappointed if we expect the Gospels to "ex plain” the Resurrection. If there is anything the stories show clearly. It is that the first persons who knew of the Resurrection were confused and shaken by it. The disciples had not expected anything like this, and they may not fully have under- «tood what was going on. What they were sure of, what they could not deny, was first of sll that Christ rose from the dead, and also that It was God who raised him from the dead. God had beaten the one unbeatable power — death. Death, the universal conqueror, turned out for once to be the conquered. It is only those who can believe in an all-powerful God who can fully believe in the Resurrection. It Is The Lord W HAT MANNER of person was Jesus, after that first Easter morning? There were some differ ences hard to describe, and in fact not described, only hinted at. You notice that at times it was not easy to recognize him at first. Paul re fers to Christ’s “glorious body” and surely there must be a glory in a person who has actually proved too strong for death to hold—a glory such as even Christ, before Cal vary, had hot shown. And yet—and yet, it was the same Jesus they had always known. No Ghost B Y NIGHT, In many a "seance,’ 1 mediums profess to get in touch with the spirits of the dead. If you could believe the spiritists, Shakespeare and Queen Victoria and innumerable other famous people, have come back and talked from beyond the grave. But the thing that makes the Christian church more than doubtful about such performances, is that some how the dead-and-come-back genius is never a genius any more. Neither Shakespeare nor any other famous person has said anything worth saying through a “medium.” And even these feeble ghosts cannot endure the daylight. They have to come at night. How different were the com ings of Jesus! There was nothing weird or uncanny about him. Around the snpper table, or on an afternoon walk, or out on the lake shore under the morning sun ... never the poor mumbling ghost of a seance, never any stupid trifles from his lips, but words of truth and comfort which the church cherishes as among the best from our Lord’s mind. Jesus’ resurrection is not the story of the survival of a ghost, still less the mere return of a revived and walking corpse. It is the story of a Divine Person who conquered death, and who came back from that conquest in power and majesty, yet with all the tenderness, love and brilliance he had ever shown. Our Hope in Him P AUL (in I Cor. 15) makes it clear that our hope of life- beyond-death grows right out of Christ’s resurrection. The enemies of Christ would have given their right eyes to stop the mouths of the men who told that story, and to prove it a lie. Bnt they could never do it. Yon cannot well stop people tiom believing what they have seen with their own eyes. So our hope of eternal life is not just a hope. As Paul says, if that were all, we Ihould be miserable men.
