(Jimmy) Sloan of (’linton was in the wrong place at the wrong time on a recent trip to New York. In the city for a conference where lie was honored as a former president of the American Association of Industrial Editors, Sloan decided to visit Times Square. As he walked down Hind Street toward Times Square, a fellow stepped up to him and asked for a match. Sloan told him he didn’t have one hut the man stuck a lighted cigarette at Sloan’s face. Sloan ducked hut in almost the motion, the man cut him across the top of the head. After being taken to the hospital where 10 stitches were required to close the wound, Sloan learned from detectives what apparently had happened. They told him that two other men had rob bed a store. The man who cut Sloan apparently was an accomplice whose duty was to create a diversion so that all three could get away. The men stole $400 from the store and made their get-away but police have descriptions of all three. No attempt was made to rob Sloan. He just happened to be walking down the wrong street at the wrong time. WHAT DO YOU THINK? QUESTION: What is M o t h e r’s Day? What is the major du ty of mothers? MICHELLE HAZEL TON, 4 — “I don’t know what Mother’s Day is but mothers are to cook, feed babies, w a s h dishes, look around the house and get everything up.” ROD THOMAS — T don’t know what Moth er’s Day is but moth ers are to clean up the house, cook supper, wash clothes, play with, me. Oh yes, and she fixes my tractor and helps me make mud pies.” AL BAGWELL — ‘‘Mother’s Day is when you give mothers pres ents to be good. Moth ers are to cook things for you, to put flowers in the church and to work.” PATSY ELLISON, 3, —‘T don’t know what Mother’s Day is, but mothers are to cook supper so the daddies won’t be mothers.” JOHN FRANKLIN, 6—“Mother’s Day is a day to give mothers something. Mothers are to keep you and to help you.

S. Sen Ernest E. Hollings told a group of local civic lead ers Monday that the national lead ership “lias failed to set the proper priorities. ” Hollings said, “The adminis tration and Congress have put priorities on material needs when priority should have tieen given for the effort in Vietnam.” Hollings also said too many restrictions have tieen put on those who are waging the war in Vietnam and that “we act as if we can’t make up our minds.” He said, “We have the finest soldiers ever committed in the history of this nation but we have restricted them to the point that they haven’t been able to operate up to capabilities.” He said, “Limits have tieen put on everything in the Vietnam war except time.” In a questr m and answer sessf'ii at the luncheon at Mary Musgr ve Hotel, Hollings .said, “We have a 30 - 30 chance ■ f passing the textile amendment. We have support from some f the Senate members of the y int committee which is studying the proposal but we haven’t received any vocal support from the House memtiers f the oimmittee.” Asked if Vice President Uuliert Humphrey has changed his politi cal stance since his days in the Senate, Hollings said, "Humphrey i has changed and so has the coun try. lie is a man of integrity who is dedicatedtoliberal causes and national defense. He is no conservative, of course.” Concerning the “Poor People’s” March on Washington, Hollings said, “It means nothing but trouble ... I believe our offi cials must speak out strongly and let everyone know that we will have t l.avi ,i manageable sit- uatr m.” Asked wh.it h"iild happen b ‘.'overnment • mpl wees who were arrested in the recent re ts in Washington, i 11m s said, “Tliey should L 1 discharged. Hearings are being c inducted in this matter now.” He als said that most of the people arrested had at least >30 when arrested. “Tliey were mJ poverty stricken people who were trying to steal their first T\ set. Thev were people who had tv. and wanted a third.” In reply t a question aDait anti-p verty programs, the freshman senator said, "Some of the programs are good. !■ r ex ample, I think Mhad Start’ is a good program. However, some of them have l»een poorly ad ministered. Many J the origi nal problems and miscalculations have tieen w> rk"d ■ ait. The ghettos are going t have to |>e cleaned i up.

Miss Cassie': Mother To Many BY BILL QUARLES On Mother’s Day Sunday, hun dreds nf young people will think [about “Miss Cassie.” She isn’t really a “Miss” and [she’s not really their mother but she helped to rear hundreds of children and they learned of warm mother love from her. She is Mrs. Cassie Lee Oliver Talbot who came to Thornwell in 1900 as an eight-year-old student. Her career has included service as a nurse, a missionary, and 17 years in charge of Mayes Baby C ttage at Thornwell. “Miss Cassie* is afraid to even estimate how many children she has been directly acquainted with or has helped at Thornwell or in China. Her formula for rearingchild- ren is simple: “They must be reared with a firm hand but they should have all the love that you can possibly give them.” After graduating from Thorn well, “Miss Cassie” taught for one year at Thornwell and then completed nurses’ training at Grady Hospital in Atlanta, Ga. She returned to Thornwell to be the first nurse at Lesh Infirmary. However, she soon moved into the home of Dr. Jacobs, the presi dent of Thornwell. Dr. Jacobs was in poor health at the time and she took care of him until his death. In 1920, she left Thornwell to prepare for the mission field. In 1923, she sailed from San Francisco for China where she was supervisor of the Training School for Nurses at TsingKiang Pu. During China’s turbulent years, she ministered to thou sands of wounded, sick and out cast. In 1939, she married the Rev. A. A. Talbot of China. They left China in 1942 because of World War II. After Mr. Tal bot’s death in 1947, she returned to China for a year of mission work but was evacuated in 1949 as the Communists took over. Visiting Thornwell soon there after, she learned of a need for a nurse and she again became nurse of Lesh Infirmary. Later she took charge of the Baby Cottage where she served for 17 years as a kind and gentle “mother* of boys and girls.
