THE CLINTON CHRONICLE
Harvey To Speak Here Tonight
Raymond Harvey, a second-year student at Colum
bia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Ga., will be the
speaker at a meeting of the Men of the Church of the
First Presbyterian Church this evening (Thursday) at
7 o’clock.
Before his conversion and decision to enter the min
istry, Mr. Harvey owned and operated a nursery and
fertilizer business in Bradenton, Fla.
Prior to his conversion, he had no interest in relig
ion or church affairs, being motivated by a self-cen
tered, materialist, atheistic philosophy. The story of
his conversion, which he will tell tonight, involved an
hour-long battle with the eight-foot shark shown in
the accompanying picture. Harvey is the fisherman on
the right. '
Jimmy Pitts Is
Star Basketball
Player at Georgia
The following was taken from
Jim Anderson’s column in The
Greenville News this week:
FITTS IS CLINTON NATIVE
Jimmy Pitts began playing
basketball in the fourth grade
at Clinton. When he was 10, his
family moved to Smyrna, Ga.
The William R. Pitts have sev
eral relatives in this section.
Jimmy is now the high-scoring
senior forward at Georgia, with
a 90.4 average that is second
best in the Southeastern Confer
ence Only trouble is, the Bull
dogs started the season by win
ning three of their first four and
it looked like they would have
the first winning season at Ath
ens in 14 years. Now they’ve lost
six of their last seven.
Jimmy is planning a career in
dentistry. And A1 Thorny writes
in the Atlanta Times, “He would
make a good dentist for be has a
chairside maimer of painlessly
extracting points from the oppo
sition ... He glides, or soft-
shoes it, whether set-shooting
from the outside or driving in
close for the lay-up. He Jumps,
too. High . . . Jimmy is so de
pendable it is hard to believe
he is a left-hander."
Pitts credits his basketball
coach at Smyrna with providing
the incentive for his develop
ment. He bays BIO Bennett gave
him the confidence and advised
him to stick to basketball.
He’ll go down in the Georgia
athletic annals as one of their
best basketball players.

Although they return at regu
lar Intervals to their native Eu
rope, Dr. and Mrs. Patte—along
with son Chris—became natural
ised Amedican citizens In 1980.
Chris, who received ’his degree
from PC and a master's from
the University of Alabama, is
now an army captain stationed
in France.
The Pattes have given much to
the culutral life of the college
and of Clinton. They are espec
ially pleased with their latest
addition, the fine arts studio, for
it has brought an added dimen
sion of creativity to the com
munity. And not the least among
the canvases and scultpures dis
played during the two past an

of this versatile couple.

Life of Clinton
Notes
Dr. and Mrs. Edouard rtute
are an important part of the cul
tural life of Clinton through their
encouragement of good music
and other areas of the fine arts.
He is now serving his 18th
year as conductor of the Pres-*
byterian College robed choir,
recognized as one of the leading
collegiate singing groups in the
South. And he and Mrs. Patte
preside over the PC fine arts
studio, which they established in
the upstairs of their home to
exhibit the works of students and
faculty members.
Both their home and their way.
of life, rooted in pre-war Europe,
lend a cosmopolitan air to the
community and offer a gracious
ness in keeping with the best
Southern tradition.
Edouard Patte and wife Ay-
mee both were born in Geneva,
Switzerland, and educated at the
College de Calvin and the Uni
versity of Geneva there. After
receiving his BA degree at 16, he
went on to obtain graduate de
grees in theology and sociology.
Before her marriage, Mrs. Patte
studied art and painting in Italy.
After being graduated from
the school of theology, Dr. Patte
accepted the general secretary
ship of t’he Geneva YMCA, then
in succession, other positions in
the ministry, and during World
War II became one of the execu
tives of the War Prisoners’ Aid
of the YMCA in Europe and
America. In this capacity, he
had charge, spiritually, of the
ministry of prisoners of war
throughout the Southeastern
United States.
With the end of the war, he
established the Fairview Pres
byterian Church in North Augus
ts and served this pulpit until
coming to PC in 1947.
Paralleling his academic stud
ies through the years, Dr. Patte
had pursued advanced studies in
music, with emphasis upon or
gan and choral work. His special
talents moulded the Presbyte
rian College choir into a finely
disciplined singing organization,
widely acclaimed for its per
formance of sacred classical
music. Critics have been espec-
tally complimentary of the
choir’s renditions of difficult li
turgical chants, chorales and an
thems of the early church.
During the 18 years under Dr.
Patte’s direction, the robed choir
has made more than 600 appear
ances throughout the South and
in the national capital. Most of
the performances have been be
fore church congregations, and
the choir also has sung over ra
dio and television on numerous
occasions.
• In addition to this duties as
minister of music, Edouard
Patte has served as professor of
sociology at PC after developing
this department. He has also
taught courses in art and music
appreciation.
The teaching responsibilities
he shed only last spring after
reaching the retirement age of
65, but he continues his effec
tive work as .conductor of the
robed choir. He and the gracious

Thirty more farm ponds in
Laurens County received blue
gill and red ear bream recently
in the Initial stocking of these
new ponds. Delivery was made
by tank truck from the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service hatch
ery at Orangeburg. The applica
tions for the fish were placed
through the Board of Supervis
ors of the local Laurens County
Soil Conservation District.
Thirty-nine thousand blue gill
and 16,000 red rear were receiv
ed by the local pond owners.
The largest number, 10,000 went
into the newly constructed flood
water retaining structure on the
Whitten Village farm of the Dim-
can Creek Watershed.
To complete the stocking of
these ponds large mouth bass
will be delivered by this same
hatchery about the first of May.

Tree planting in the county is
now getting underway. One hun
dred thousand loblolly pine feed-
lings were received last week
from the Piedmont Nursery in
Pickens County. The tree plant
ing crew of the local soil conser
vation district is again helping
landowners in planting their
pines. Also, many farmers are
doing their own planting. Thous
ands of acres in the county have
been planted to pines In recent
years. However, we still have
many acres of steep, eroded and
gullied land that is better suited
to pines than any other use. Put
theta idle acres to work hy
planting to pines this season.
Plenty of seedlings are avail
able. ACP cost-sharing payments
will go a long way toward pay-
ing the cost
The following iandwoners wars
recently assisted hy the district
in planting pines: R. A. Patton,
J. B. Pinson, Mrs. Clyde Chap
man, Mrs. Eldora Livingston, F.
C. Kelly and C. D. Waldrep.

E. S. Chapman of Route 1,
Laurens, had terrace lines sur
veyed on forty acres of cropland
this week. Grass waterways in
keeping with the natural drain
age pattern of the land were es
tablished on these fields last
year. Chapman is now ready tor
the district’s terracing machine
to build the terraces. The estab
lished waterways will provide e
safe place to empty the new ter
races without washing.
Chapman also completed 800
feet of drainage ditches on a wet
area of bottomland pasture the
last week in December. These
practices were laid out by the
technicians of the Soil Conserva
tion Service as a part of the
complete conservation plan on
the farm. ACP cost-sharing as
sistance will be used to help pay
the cost of application.
