sTi Utt The Sun Strives To Serve The Whole People ' VOLUME 4; NO. 29 The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1941 PUBLISHED WEEKLY $1.00 PER YEAR OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE College Seeks To Wipe Out Debt I Kinard Proposed As Welfare Head HELL IN OLD NEWBERRY At Federal court in Greenville the other week Judge Cecil Wyche re lieved himself of the following: “Ne gro, where are you from?” “Newber ry, sah.” “Well I had intended send ing you to the Federal penitentiary in Atlanta for three years, but since f came from Newberry too, and know ing that we are from the same coun ty and you have had hell on eath, I’m going to send you home on probation. Then, too. I heard that your boss. Henry Holloway was recently married, and I want to make him feel good.” BUT WE CAN’T The Dutch Weather Prophet, alias Doctor W. P. Houseal, post cards us as follows: “Dear Bro. Armfield: Here is a spe cimen of fancy handwriting. You may decipher: Ypur fpps v mz fpnbcz typ- jng hoz bffn pvt b scrop bppk bz nig dbugh fr Mrs. Lbnf Bpornfo ujth much glff Sp jc wbs bll.” He add's: “I used! it in my courting days when using postal cards.” That’s fine! Now all we need know is what all that jabber spells out, if the weather prophet cares to tell us. If he does not we can feel pretty safe in supposing that liberally translat ed it says: “Having fine time—wish you were here—love to all—see you soon!” Our courtly friend of long-range memory has been “laid up” for some time, due we believe, to not being re gularly employed in newspaper work. If he had regular hours to make he would forget about his aches, for af ter all he’s only somewhere in his eighties, and ought to have at least ten more good years to get the ink off his fingers before joining the angels. HARE AGAINST CONVOYS This column notes with a great deal of satisfaction Porter Mclver’s report from Washington to the effect that Representative Butler Hare is opposed to convoying ships into, the war zone. Mr. Hare apparently rea lizes that this step would mean actual war, war with shot and shell and not mere words. The war makers are pushing us nearer the brink of war every day. Step by step our young men are be ing brought closer to the slaughter. And for what? To do the fighting for a class of sorry Englishmen who have always had someone else to do their Look at the news fighting for them. , , , .. . „ reports today. The fighting is being I each has its place. He said The opening Lutheran rally in the appeal for $140,000 to clear the in debtedness of Newberry college and the South Carolina synod was held Monday night at Trinity Lutheran church in Greenville, with Dr. Gould Wickey of Washington, D. C., as the principal speaker. About 200 per sons attended. Dr. James C. Kinard, president of Newberry, spoke in behalf ol the campaign and W. E. Monts, superin tendent of Clinton schools, outlined the financial program of the college and synod. Dr. Charles J. Sheaiy of Spartanburg presided and the New berry glee club gave a musical pro gram. Church College Place Dr. Wickey, who is general secret tary of the council of Church Boards of Education and general secretary of the National Conference of Church Related' Colleges, stressed the place of the church college in his talk last night. He said in part: “American churchmen and citi zens are more and more interested in th^ maintenance of those centers of intellectual activity which will leave modern life with Christian ideals and motives/ and which pro- due an effective leadership tor all walks of life, all callings and all pro fessions. “Men grow on what they feed. This is true physically, intellectual ly and spiritually. That we put into the schools we put into our homes, our society and our government. The church-related college has a program which relates the natural and the spiritual, the social and moral, the political and the ethical. “Our educational programs must do more than develop the intellects. They must develop the whole per sonality of the student so that they become efficient citizens in whatever they do and wherever they may be. The church colleges have contri buted to American life presidents, governors, legislators, judges, educa tors, editors and professional men in greater proportion than from any other source. “If American life is to be free from those revolutionary tendencies which have closed the churches in other countries, we need to support increasingly the church - related col lege which will send into all profes sions and activities men and women with Christian ideals, Christian mo tives and Christian principles.” Dr. Kinard pointed out there was no conflict between church and state institutions of learning, as the done by Canadians, New Zealanders, i church college deserves support be- Australians, and “native troops”. And unless .the present trend is halt ed American boys will be added to the list. FREE THEATER TICKETS Look For Your Name on Page Two Again The Sun, in cooperation with the Opera House, is offering Free Theater Tickets to 9 of its readers. On page 2 of this issue is a page made up of nine advertisements of local firms; in each advertisement is the name of some person in the city or county. All you have to do to get the ticket is to find your name, clip out the advertisement, and bring it to this office. That is all there is to it—no obligation in any way. The tickets given away this week are for the pictrue “Queen of Destiny” to be shown at the Opera House coming Monday and Tuesday. NOTE:—Through error it was stat ed that tickets given last week were for “Pastor Hall” at the Opera House Monday and Tuesday. The Opera House manager informs us that “PASTOR HALL” will be shown week after next, May 19 and 2l>, and the tickets are good at that time. Those receiving tickets last week will hold them for “PASTOR HALL”. Those receiving them this week jwill see “QUEEN OF DESTINY” com ing Monday and Tuesday. cause its works with personalities, of the individual. He pointed out that although specialists in education of ten differ as to the latest educational methods, the fundamentals “of Chris tian character have not changed since the Master laid them down two thous and years ago.” “The crash of materialistic ideals as evidenced in the present world con fusion is turning the heart of hu manity again to God. In emphasiz ing the power of Christian charac ter, the church college helps lead the way,” he concluded. Dr. James C. Kinard, president of Newberry college, is being promin ently mentioned for the position of chairman of the South Carolina de partment of public welfar. This of fice has recently been vacated by T. B. Young. The position will be filled by an election by the South Carolina assembly Thursday, May 8. Doctor Kinard has unusual qualifi cations and his many friends in New berry and throughout the entire state feel that South Carolina will be for tunate if his services are secured. He is a native son, having been bom and reared in the “The City of Friendly Folk,” and is in every sense a self- made man. He graduated from New berry college in 1916, entering the faculty immediately after. The next year he became head of the depart ment of natural science, which posi tion he held until he was chosen as president of the school in 1930. Seven years after his graduation, he was made dean of the college, serving in such capacity from 1924 until 1930. His graduate studies were followed at Columbia univefsity at New York. At the present time, Doctor Kinard is one of the most sought-after speakers in the entire South. Doctor Kinard has received several honorary degrees and has been called on to serve in innumerable respon sible positions. In 1928, Erskine col lege conferred on him the degree of doctor of literature; in 1931, the tlni versity of South Carolina presented him with the degree of doctor of laws. Doctor Kinard at present is considered one of the most active men in the nation in church work, now holding the important position of president of the National Lutheran Educational Conference of the x Unit- ed Lutheran Church. He also has been a member of the advisory coun cil of the department of public wel fare for some time, and is familiar with the work of this important body. That his home-town is proud of him is obvious, but further evidence lies in the fact that he is a past presi dent of the Newberry Rotary club and also of the Newberry chamber of com merce, being the only man to ever serve three successive terms with the latter group. The report that Doctor Kinard has consented to the use of his name as a candidate for the office comes as good news to many state officials and others who feel the importance of the i election Thursday. Much work vital to the welfare and prosperity of the Palmetto state comes directly. under the supervision of the chairman of the department of public welfare, and a man of this high calibre Is needed.

Several at tractions were agreed upon and spe cial committees were appointed to look after them. The subscription list for the park is still open and while some new names are being added each week there is room for many more. Come along and help a good movement. Don’t wait to be called. To build r. park will be to build a monument to yourself which wilLnot only be a me morial to this generation, but will be a lasting benefit and pleasure to all succeeding generations in Newberry. And they will bless you for it for all time. How can thy patriotic citizen hesitate or delay? When we walk down street and and look up or down or sideways and be hold the numerous old ugly wooden bridges spanning the ditches on eith er side of the street, we wonder city council does not put some of its mon ey on the work of removing these eyesores from our streets. We are told that the city has a big surplus and does not know just how to spend it. The condition of the streets and the way the weeds are growing in this dry weather would lead one to believe that one way in which city council was accumulating its sur plus was by reducing the force, or maybe the force is so small it can’t get around. If the latter be true, then the surplus funds on hand had better be utilized in increasing the force.
