Williams told Presbyterian College faculty and students Mon day at the opening convocation of PC’s 90th session. The speaker, who serves as vice-president for academic af fairs at the University of Ten nessee, addressed himself to four forces of anti-intellectualism. The first three, of earlier ori gin and now largely overcome, he classified as “the fundamenta list preacher, the demagogic office-seeker, and the self-made man of great wealth.’ Williams added: “The fourth is with us now and demands our stubborn opposition. This force is the on-campus activist who seeks democracy through de struction of democratic pro cesses. Free speech through the refusal of speech to his oppo sition, peace through violence, and educational reform through the closing down of the educa tional enterprise." Harris T. Remley, Freight Traffic Representative for the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad, spoke to approximately 200 per sons at a joint meeting of the Clinton Kiwanis and Lions Clubs Thursday night. Remley, well-known through out the Southeast as an after- dinner speaker, opened his re marks on "Americanism" by praising Junior Achievement Programs across the nation and their capacity and endeavor to teach the young people of today more about our free enterprise system. “Support Junior Achieve- ment--see that our young people are inspired because they’re our future leaders,’ said Rem ley. Remley noted that America needs a “revival’ to emphasize our free enterprise system. Throughout the evening ad dress, Remley interwove ges tures of humor and serious com ments to relate his thinking on Americanism. “We must believe in an A- merica by the people, of the people, and for the people,’ he said. He spoke out against anti-war demonstrations and noted that the communist party had chosen the youth of America as their target in destroying our country and the ideals upon which it was founded. His remarks were keyed to the positive approach, rather than the negative. Remley noted that our youth are doing much good and pointed out how news media of today fails to comment on what today’s youth do good, but point our areas of disturbances, con flict, etc. Beflore closing his patriotic address, Remley quoted a few lines of scripture and several lines of poetry. “We need to en courage patriotism more today than ever before," he said. He referred frequently to our forefathers -- George Wash ington, Alexander Hamilton, Pat rick Henry -- and others. He restated their great moments in American history and the role they played as young men of their times. Also attending the joint meet ing were incoming staff and facul ty members ofSchool District 56, Presbyterian College, officials of the Boy Scouts, Clintop YMCA and the American Legio/i.

Garbage Collection Behind Schedule Garbage collection in the City of Clinton is behind schedule this week because of the Labor Day holiday, according to Streets Supt. Eddie McGee. McGee said collection should get back on schedule within the next week. The deaths were the 16th and 17th traffic fatalities on Laurens County roads and highways this year. He said he referred, not to those who petition legitimately for change, but the “Trojan Horse army of militant fanatics which includes serious students whose impatience with the slowness of social change is untempered with an understanding that change comes slowly to a free people; of egocentric sadists and thrill- seekers who enjoy the excitement of notoriety ofdisruption; of mis directed faculty members, some of who seek destruction of the system which has been de signed largely from faculty blue prints; and finally, of high po liticalized individuals, skillfully trained in the art of generat ing disorder and provoking vio lent agitation. ’ Williams called upon students to “assume leadership in ex plaining where change is pro gress and where it is only sense less destruction of the extant.’ CLINTON HIGH CHEERLEADERS — Leading the cheers for Clinton High School this year will be, left to right, front row: Carol Hatton, Almeda Rogers, Vicky Bishop; second row Boyle, Ame McCarthy, Kathy Frady.

Other Memoirs BY JOE H. SIMPSON At one time employees of the Clinton Cotton Mills had a rather unique form of Health and Accident Insurance. Dr. T. L. W. Bailey and Dr. J. Lee Young had an arrangement with the mill office to deduct from each employee’s pay 5c per person each week. This would entitle said employee to medical service at any time, day or night. For ex ample, a man and wife with four children would pay 30c per week or $15.60 per year. This would take care of the family bill for an entire year. This service was, of course, optional with each employ ee. Guess that you could call this an advance form of Medicare.
