Why these two worthy or ganizations should be put in a class apart is not clear to me. I am somewhat at a loss to un derstand why the Ctiy wou i re quire a special election authoriz ing a special levy enabling the City of Newberry to appropriate $600.00 per year for the support of four National Guard units with out at the same time requiring a special election to enable Council to appropriate money for the Civic League, the Youth Center, Newberry College and the other organizations. I want it distinctly understood that the National Guard members are not opposed to these other organizations and are making no complaint about your appropriations for their benefit; we do believe that all local groups should be treated alike and that the Guard should not be the sub ject of discrimination. I also regret that you regard the promise made in 1939 by the then members of the Newberry City Council as not being a moral obligation on the present Coun cil. I have always understood that a moral obligation differed from a legal obligation in that while the latter was binding in the Courts, the former was only binding upon the conscience of a person who wanted to see justice done and a promise kept. Among those who attended the meeting at which General Dozier, the Ad jutant General of South Carolina, was assured that both Newberry City and Newberry County would assist in the maintenance of a National Guard unit if it were brought to Newberry, were Mayor J. W. Earhardt, Sr., Mr. Hal Kohn, Sr., Mr. Jake Wise and Senator Marvin E. Abrams. Since. 1939, four units have been organized in this community; one of them saw service for almost five years in World War II and since its return from active duty has received no help from the City of Newberry. There are now almost three hun dred members of the local Guard units and the annual pay roll amounts to approximately $125,000. Newberry County has fully lived up to its moral obligation. In closing, let me asure you that I have no personal feeling against you and the other elected officials of the City of Newberry. I made the speech before the Rotary Club in- good faith, feeling then and now that the City of Newberry has reneged on Its pro mise and failed in its responsibil ity fo assist a worthy community enterprise. I still feel that we are entitled to your jsupport. You have made it clear that the present ad ministration will not assist ns. No further request will be made of your administration on behalf of the National Guard units. The Armory is used by the Red Cross Blood Bank each month and by various patriotic organize tlons for special events. The New berry % City Police Department staged its benefit ball at the Arm ory several years ago. When so used, the National Guard units cheerfully and willingly furnish water, lights, heat and telephon Members of the Guard are serv ing as marshals for the Santa Claus Parade on December 5 as they have done on similar sions when asked. If you can con ceive of any other way we can help you besides the riot you mentioned in your letter, we of the National Guard shall deem it a privilege for you to call upon us. We stand ready to help the City of Newberry in any way we can. With kind regards, I am Very truly yours, TOM POPE. m © A ill Wm nr sajh % Musical Gifts for the Kiddies at ..
