PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 1954 DOUBT RED VICTORY . . . Admiral Arthur Radford (right), chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, and assistant secretary of state Walter Bedell Smith told Senate foreign relations committee Red claims to success in Indo-China war are exaggerated. Anderson Writer Says Dr. Kinard Gave Of His Best Years To Newberry College (Charlie Garrison in The Anderson Independent.) The resignation of Dr. J. C. Kin ard, as president of Newberry Col lege, following a long and suc cessful administration was of more than ordinary interest to me. Dr. Kinard, you may or may not know, thought of running for gov ernor once. He probably would have made a good one, too, for he is an outstanding man in any field, political, educational or otherwise. Yet I may have had something to do with Dr. Kinard’s decision to stay out of politics. If he wijl pardon my telling the story now I will pass it along: Dr. Kinard made the annual Me morial Day address before the Greenville lodge of Elks something like a dozen years ago and, as al ways when I heard him speak, his words and his delivery left noth ing to be desired. If I recall cor rectly, it was my pleasure to in troduce him and I didn’t say a word about him that was unde served. Before the meeting ended Dr. Kinard confided that he wanted to talk wtih me about an important matter. We met downstairs in a drugstore and, over a glass of soda, discussed something that was important to him and to the state also. Dr. Kinard said he had been approached by many on the ques tion of running for governor of South Carolina. He was really in terested too. Now what did I think of the idea, the good doctor ask ed. My reply, if not flattering, was at least sincere. I told Dr. Kinard that I considered him one of the outstanding educators of the South. That he w’as doing a good work and probably would con tinue to do so for another quarter of a century. As to politics, that was another matter. In the first place, I didn’t know ! if a college professor, smart as he might be, could step out into poli tics and win right off the bat. Furthermore, I doubted if he could do a better w r ork as gover nor of South Carolina than he was doing as president of Newberry College. In the latter position everybody realized his sincerity and appreciated his true worth. In politics, though, even if elected it would be a more difficult ques tion. Many who considered him a ^ood college professor might not support him for governor and even if they did, might not be able to elect him. My advice was to stay out of politics. He listened attentively and thanked me. We shook hands and parted the best of friends. 1 have every reason to believe. Dr. Kinard understood and accepted my frankness. Yet, after all, did I do the people of South Carolina a favor? I wish Dr. Kinard the very best of luck in his new venture. He deserves it, having given some of the best years of his life in behalf of a' worthy cause. AT SPRING RALLY Mrs. T. P. Crooks, Mrs. W. Roy Anderson. Mrs. J. F. Hawkins and Miss Grace Summer attended the Spring Rally of the American Leg ion Auxiliary at Aiken over the past weekend. Hendrix Leads Prosperity P.T.A. Birthday Meet Mr. C. E. Hendrix, superinten dent of the Prosperity School Area was program leader at the March meeting of the Prosperity Parent Teacher Association. He gave a review of the activities that have been carried on during the life of the Prosperity PTA. This pro gram celebrated the seventh birth day of this PTA. Before this time a similar or ganization had functioned under the name Community League but it was not affiliated with a na tional organization in any way. Mrs. Carl Shealy from Little Mountain helped in the organiza tion of the Prosperity PTA. Mrs. James Counts was the first presi dent. Other presidents in their re spective order were Mrs. Von Long, Mrs. Gurdon Counts, and Mrs. Hoyt Boland. Mrs. Dan Hamm, Jr., is the present presi dent. As the former presidents were called to the stage Mrs. Biddle Hawkins, the first vice president who presided in the absence of Mrs. Hamm, pinned corsages (yel low carnations with blue ribbon and leaves) on each. These form er presidents sat on the stage for the remainder of the program. Mrs. Von Long was the only one absent. A birthday offering was taken up. Mrs. Leon Shealy conducted de votions. After having read the scripture she gave a very appropri ate talk. Jewel Connelly played the piano while Barbara Hawkins sang “Evening Prayer” as a prayer. During the business part of the meeting, it was announced that Walter Hamm was resigning as scout master. Since the scouts are a project of the PTA, it was decided that the president appoint a committee to secure another scout master. The shrubbery project is being carried out with part of it having been finished and part to be com pleted. After the meeting was adjourn ed, everyone was invited over to the home economics room for a period of fellowship. At this time the hospitality committee assisted by Mrs. Clarence Metts and Mrs. Tommy Harmon served punch and cup cakes. The home economics room was decorated with arrange ments of spring flowers.
