Secured For
Bond Election
The regular meeting of City
Council, usually a somewhat dull
affair with discussions of sanitary
sewers or electrical distribution
systems, was anything but boring
when Council sat for its regular
March meeting. A delegation of
some 35 persons, representing
various churches of the city, as
sembled and jammed the council
chamber to protest the showing
of Sunday motion pictures in the
city limits. It was stated by
some of those present at the be
ginning of the meeting that Rev.
Neil Truesdale, pastor of Aveleigh
Presbyterian Church, would be
spokesman for the group; how
ever, Mr, Truesdale did not at
tend the session and about one
fourth of those present took the
floor at various intervals, speak
ing either on behalf of a church,
or as individuals. The speakers
lashed out against the sinfulness
of operating movies on Sunday;
berated county officials for allow
ing drive-in theatres on the cut
off to be operated; pleaded with
city council and insisted that the
theatres in Newberry not be al
lowed to operate on SundaysT
The speakers were not confined
to the ministry. They included
a school principal, who stated
that, although with a group from
the First Baptist Church, he
spoke “in the name of 550 chil
dren;” also a scout master, who
stated that he was speaking mere
ly as an individual and was not
representing any scout troop; and
various other individuals, most of
whom appeared with church dele
gations. The Ministerial Associa
tion of Newberry, as such, was
not represented. Those ministers
who were present represented
their congregations, with the ex-

one of the speakers of allowing

was no law on the books by
which the operators could be con
victed.
When all of the delegates who
wished to express their thoughts

recess in the meeting and most
of the delegation left, although
some stayed on the sidewalk out

what action would be taken on
the matter by council and a few
remained inside while the govern

the story, from the theatre
owners in the City of Newberry
and also to hear from any citizens
who are interested in having the

The meeting will be held in coun
