SPRING FLOWERS AT PEAK Tour The National Forest Winter has left the Carolinas and one of the most beautiful seasons of the year, Spring, has arrived. This is the time of the year when the pine forest be comes laced with the blos soms of the flowering dogwood. A way to combine sightseen- ing and a better understanding of the National Forest has been suggested by Bob Williams, Dis trict Ranger for the U. S. For est Service in Newberry. This self guided auto tour was plan ned with a family outing in mind. Just be sure to check your mile age before you begin as all mile age is figured from the start ing point which is the junction of 1-26 and 72 near Clinton. From the starting point travel East on Highway 72 towards Whitmire 5.2 miles and on the right will be Tip Top Fire Tow er used by the U. S. Forest Service to detect forest fires. The area around the tower has both water and toilet facilities for your use. For the more ad venturesome, a climb up the fire tower may be in order. From the tower and 8.2 miles from start, turn right on Forest Development Road No. 366 which is Garlington Road. Nine miles "1 Znctfiaued a* PnitiUd Place you* Ondesi Za/ily! Chronkle Pub.

One hun dred yards ahead in South Fork of Duncan Creek. As you drive along Garling ton Road notice the interpretive signs on your right. Continue driving and at the 11.2 mark of the tour is Stomp Springs Road, No. 276. Stomp Springs is off to your right about 1/4 mile. Turn left on 276 from Garlington Road to continue the tour. One mile from the turn you will cross Ned Wesson Branch. The end of Stomp Springs Road comes at the 14,4 mile mark of the tour. Directly in front of you will be Forest Development Road 356, the next road to be used on your tour. Just to the right is the entrance to Brick House Hunt Camp. If you desire, the Hunt Camp has water, toilet and pic nic facilities for your use. Dog wood blooms are very beautiful on the road to the Hunt Camp at this time of year. For those who- enjoy nature walks, a one-mile walk to the north along a For est Service-constructed Bun combe Trail is suggested. The Trail, easily distinguished by white-marked trees, will lead the hikers to Cromer RoadNo. 356 where they can be picked up. Continuing on the auto tour from the end of Stomp Springs Road 276-S travel along Cromer Road No. 356. Two-tenths of a mile on Cromer Road the Bun combe Trail meets the road on the right from the Brick House Hunt Camp and this is the place where you may pick up any hikers walking from the hunt camp area.

The Carolina Natural Gas Company Pipeline is seen 23.7 miles a- long the tour. Notice the seeded areas on the pipeline used to control erosion and to provide food for wildlife. Just beyond the pipeline and to your left is a hollow which has some beau tiful flowering dogwoods in it. Turn right on State Road 36- 32 at the 24.6 mile mark of the tour. Travel on State Road 36- 32 until you reach Jalapa and Highway 76 where the tour ends. County Solons Oppose Winthrop Co-Ed Legislation BY JIMMY BOYLSTON Rep. Paul Culbertson joined Rep. David Taylor last week in opposing a House bill which would make winthrop College a coeducational institution. “I am in favor of leaving the status of Winthrop as it is,” said Culbertson. Under consideration in the House and the Senate was the re commendation of a special study committee that degrees be a- warded to men at Winthrop pro vided they live offthe campus and are full-time residents of the state. The House adopted late last week a compromise version of the bill which would allow males to attend Winthrop through 1973. * * * White Is Named Sin-Tay President Sin-Tay Tools, Inc., this week announced the appointment of Mr. Irvin White as president and gen eral manager.

C., April 16, 1970—5-A SENATOR STROM 1 THURMOND jH REPORTS TO THE PEOPLE THE CARSWELL NOMINATION The defeat of Judge G. Har- rold Carswell is another set back in President Nixon’s pro gram for the reform of the Supreme Court. In rejecting Judge Carswell, the so-called liberal element in the Senate is in reaction against the trend of the times. The crying need of the present generation is to avert the destructive role which the Supreme Court has taken in recent years. The essence of justice lies in the unvarying interpretation of laws according to the intentions of the framers. Without such a strict construction, the law- abiding citizen is left with con fusion. He is in the position of a game player, who discovers that the rules have been changed in the middle of the game. EROSION OF LAW For four decades, the Supreme Court has been busy changing the rules, without regard to precedent or sound judicial con struction. One Supreme Court Justice after another vied to demonstrate that he could scale the heights of nonsense in writ ing opinions that had little re lation to legal scholarship. The scaling of such vain peaks inevitably met with lavish praise from the self-appointed chorus of opinion-makers in the news media. In order to be called “bril liant”, a Supreme Court Justice had only to demonstrate agility in achieving a pre-conceived re sult with the smallest scrap of law. Meanwhile, we have been reap ing the bitter harvest of the erosion of law. Respect for the foundations of order has broken down. When the Supreme Court has little regard for the basic stability of Constitutional in terpretation, it is little wonder that political radicals and com mon criminals turn to anarchy. NIXON’S COURT REFORM For these reasons, President Nixon has made the reconstruc tion of the Supreme Court one of the prime aims of his Ad ministration. President Nixon has sent the names of three dis tinguished conservative judges in succession to the Senate. No President in modern history has chosen better men. Yet it is now clear, after the defeat of two nominations, that the opponents of reform are bitterly set against reversing the course of the High Court. Judge Carswell, like Judge Haynsworth before him, is a sound thinker, a competent lawyer, and an objective Judge. The charges raised against him were trivial gestures designed to conceal the critics’ basic antipathy toward court reform. His opponents were able to as semble sizeable lists of lawyers and professors against him; but upon examination these liste were discovered to contain mainly names of people who never voted for Richard Nixon and never would. The critics also pointed out that many of Judge Carswell’s opinions have been reversed in higher courts. Such criticism covered up a fear that Judge Carswell, if confirmed for the High Court, would vote to re verse the opinions of so-called liberal judges brought before him. Judge Carswell was nomi nated precisely because the President was seeking a Judge whose views ran contrary to the wave of havoc that has been coursing through our judicial system. HOUR IS LATE We must assume, then, that it is not the Judge’s character or ability that was really called into question. The liberal faction in the Senate has served notice that it will seek to destroy any man, regardless of qualifications, who measures up to the stand ards needed to rebuild the Court. It must be remembered that only one-third of the Senate faces the voters during our na tional elections. The Senate is thus slower to reflect the mood of the country. Many of those Senators who voted against Court reform will feel the re sentment of the people next November. It is noteworthy that 69 percent of the Republican Senators voted for Judge Cars well. as against only 31 percent of the Democrats. The forces arrayed against the Carswell nomination demon strate the lateness of the hour for constructive change. But the preservation of our Constitu tional system demands that President Nixon again nominate a sound conservative. Handicapped workers prove that ability counts. Department of Labor findings show that they compare favorably with able- bodied co-workers in production, efficiency, safety, and attend ance. Their turnover rate in Jobs is also much lower than that of able-bodied workers. 1 We mlae yoo, B Dumont. W« to ahrftjri remonbor tho: food times we had, the. dreams we shared.
