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.

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.

Where's Kilroy now?
>
Ever think of him—that legendary hero
who left his mark at Okinawa, St. Lo,
Anzio Beach? “Kilroy was here!”
meant hope to millions of oppressed
people. Quite a guy, that Kilroy.
Where is he now? He’s sweating it out
in Korea. Walking a rampart in North
Africa. On g ^rd in Germany. Recov
ering in a military hospital. Kilroy’S
around all right.
But he often feels that folks don’t know
it. And that’s where you come in. For
when you join your Red Cross, you tell
Kilroy that you care.
You help him get home when his child
is gravely ill. You lend his widowed
mother financial help. You help his
wife get G. I. benefits. And when home
sick Kilroy needs a bit of encourage
ment himself, you are there.
You are, if you join your Red Cross.
So try to be there, won’t you, wherever
Kilroy is? Join generously, for Kilroy
is all over the world.
Answer the call
Join yeur Red Gross
When you join the Red Cross, YOU ARE THERE!
YOU ARE THERE WHEN shattered lives and
homes of disaster victims are rebuilt. (YOUR
RED CROSS helped in 319 disaster relief
operations last year.) •
YOU ARE THERE WHEN blood saves a life.
(YOUR RED CROSS procured more than
4 million donations of blood last year.)
YOU ARE THERE WHEN troubled servicemen
need help. (YOUR RED CROSS assists at
412 military installations, 150 military hos-
. pitals, and 165 Veterans Administration
Hospitals.)
