Inquest Jury Rules In 3-Car Death Wreck Lautens — The March 22 death of three young upstate men was due to “ traffic col lision” a coroner's jur*t-ruled Thursday at an inquest in the Laurens County Courthouse. The youths, Donnie K. Pressley, 19, of Rt. 1, Water loo; T. J. (Tedw) Birdsal III of Greenville; and Bill Thack- ston, 21, of Rt. 2, Simpson ville, were the victims of a flaming two-car crash on U. S. Highway 221 about six miles south of Laurens. Highway Patrol Corporal A. W. Hampton testified that up on reaching the wreck scene he found a 1967 Chevrolet on its top on the shoulder of the highway and burning. Thack- ston was under the* wheel of the vehicle and Birdsall was in tlify rear set, he-’said. The car was an “inferno inside,” tto&qOrporal testified. “I imagjfli^ihey. Were already dead iFotib flames when I ar rived.’”"* Clinton Students Speak Out By Members of Government Classes at Clinton High School QUR RIGHTS — ARE THEY . WORTHLESS? The people of this nation — tht United States of-America — have given away more of their rights gfgnted by the Constitution in the past ten years than in the other 169 years of its existence. * - The people of this nation should begin to watch w ha t our lawmakers are doin^ and should write and tpll them if we agree with their policy or not. Some examples of our “worthless” rights are ex plained below as they come from the Constitution of 1789 and the Constitution of 1964. The first amendment states clearly — “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . It is now a fed eral ruling that one cannot pray in < schools apd public 1 buildings. This ' is certainly making a law" “prohbiting the free exercise thereof”. The second amendment states that . the right of the pepple to keep and bear arms pould not be infringed.” The States have had regula tions on weapons for quite a few years but now the federal government wants to have the • riilht not to .let. the i>cQple “keep and bear arms”. Why do they want to keep tab on the p e o p 1 e / s weapons? Throughout our study and re search we found that just be fore Hitler started his world campaign he had a law that required every person who owned a gun to report it to the supreme government. He then disarmed those people and made them his slaves. Is this what our leaders are try ing to do to us? The'sixth amendment states that “In all criminal prosecu tions the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and pub lic- trial, ...” Richard Speck killed eight young women in the summer of 1966. It is now March of 1967 and the courts have just begun to choose a jury. What is speedy about this? Is a year to be consider ed speedy? It seems that it is. The people of this natioty have let these changes go without much to say about them. The people should open their eyes and see what is hap pening. It will soon be where the people will have to get per mits from thev government to leave their homes. We must not let the Federal government rule us — we are supposed to rule the Federal government. This nation was created on the basis that the people would be the government. When the people go to the polls they should choose a man who will do his best and help keep the people’s rights. They should elect a man who will say as Patrick Henry once said, “Give me liberty, or give me death” and not the new version which is “Give me liberty, or give me money.” v —BUTCH RICE DEAR SALLY By SALLY SHAW DEAR SALLY: Some of the middle-aged women I know are continually trying to act ten to twenty years younger thaa they are; and I think their attempts to regain their lost youth are silly and ab surd. Why can’t they face up to the facts, that the years have taken their toll, and tha£ they should act accordingly? What have you to say about thisr^E; L. DEAR E. L.j And just what IS the proper tfehavior pattern for each degree of age? I’m with your friends on this. While I don’t hold with mid dle-aged women adopting' teen- aged styles in dress or acting “kittenish,’* still I don’t see a thing in the world with their holding on to youthful enthu siasms and joys. This youth ful outlook, along with the na tural poise garnered over the years, makes for charm, per sonality, and popularity. DEAR SALLY: I’ve had several dates with a girl of 19 whom I like very much, and she acts like she thinks a lot of me, too. The big trou ble is that I told her I was 20, and I’m really only 16. I’d like very much to wipe this little lie of mine off the record by admiting my real age, hut I’m afraid that when she finds out how young I am she’ll give me the gate. What is your advice? EDDIE. DEA REDDIE: Better that gate than to be living under false colors. Better, too, that you date girls of your own age for the present. A three- Near spread during the teen- years is much too much, espe cially when the boy is on the short end of it. And inciden tally I cannot for the life of me understand how a girl of 19 can possibly fail to know the difference between a 16- year-old boy and a 20-year- old.
