Remley: Revival Is Needed
For Free Enterprise System
PC Speaker
Hits Campus
Lawlessness
“Public disgust with on-
campus lawlessness could bring
a rebirth and intensification of
anti-inteilectural activity on all
levels in our society,’ Dr. Jack
K. .. 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.

half miles east of Laurens.

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.’

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.
