ROGP3RS (Frances Caldwell) and Rill, Jr., and Mrs. Henry Frick. Jr., and two children visited Mrs. Robert C. Ruff in the Newberry Memorial Hospital last Friday. The Newberry Chamber of Com merce and the Service Clubs of the city meeting in a banquet in the Community Hall Friday night hon ored Dr. and Mrs. James C. Kin ard in a fitting wiay. The occasion was prompted by Dr. Kinard’s res ignation as president of Newber ry College following 24 years ser vice to become associated in an executive capacity with the Capi tol Life Insurance Company in Colmbia. Comments were shower ed favorably upon the Newberry educator who brought Newberry College to a high degree of excel lence and free from all debts through his untiring efforts. IT. and Mrs. Kinard sat by and heard their friends relate some of the things that - have endeared them to Newberry people. Judge Eugene S. Please, banquet speak er. spoke on the struggle Dr. Kin ard, whom he called “Jimmy” had in securing an education and that at the present time the well known educator is now prepared for al most any kind of work. The only time that I was ever mad with Jimmy was when he did not join me in law practice here in New berry. becoming a teacher instead of a lawyer. However Judge Blease said he was glad that Dr. Kin- | aid went on to Newberry College where his services were sorely needed and where he had made a fine record for himself, the col lege and the graduates of the Lutheran Institution. I bet you did not know Judge Blease told the audience that Dr. Kinard is a lawyer. He studied and passed the State Bar examination without at tending a law school. Jimfmy ha)d one case in court Judge Blease continued and he almost won It, in fact he did win a new trial for after the defendant was found guilty It was his fine oratory that caused the presiding judge to grant a new trial. Judge Blease said he had followed Jimmy’s life from the time he was a young child and that he had known his. parents and grandparents. Even as a child his thoughtfulness ‘ of older people in little deeds and visits had endeared him to them. Had Dr. Kinard followed other pro fessions than that of a teacher he no doubt with his fine oratorical abilities would be worth thousands of dollars today, much more than that he received ^rom his work as a teacher. He was an orator from boyhood, stated Mr. Blease. He could he a good lawyer and has demonstrated his preaching abilities by conduct ing cervices at many of the local churches while the pastors were either sick or away on vacations. He was not vain but he had confidenqe in himself and believed Receives Doctorate Albert S. Willipms received the Doctor of Philosophy degree in plant pathology at North Carolina State College on Sunday, June 6. He received his bachelor of science degree from Emory University, and his Masters degree at the Uni versity of Tennessee. His wife is the former Miss Stella Senn, r daughter of Mrs. George W. Senn and the late Mr. Senn of Newberry. Dr. Williams will he a member of the V. P. I. faculty at Blacks burg, Va„ beginning the first se mester in the fall. he could <to things. He chose to go to Newberry College for many reasons. For one thing he felt a moral obligation to do so. He ha® been true to himself, to Newber ry and true to his God said the speaker. They may leave New berry for awhile but fihey ^vill be back and we want them to come back. In concluding Judge Blease said, "God Bless Newberry for having produced among its fine men, James Campsen Kinard.” State Senator Marvin E. Abrams of Whitmire spoke highlv of Dr. Kinard’s contribution to Newberry county. He praised him for his un selfish service and devotion to the county. Mayor James E. Wiseman, speaking in behalf of the city, spoke of Dr. Kinards contribu tion as a civic leader in the city. Dr. Mamie S. Summer, who pre sented the- gift to Dr. Kinard from the service clubs told of his high Christian character as a church man. educator and civic leader.

The banquet was sponsored hy the Newberry Chamber of Com merce, the American Legion, B. & P.W. Club, Civic League, Exchange Club, J. C.’s, Kiwanis, Rotary, Lion and V.F.W. club. Dr. Kinard in replying to the evening’s comments of the speak er expressed his and Mrs. Kin ard’s appreciation. Dr. Kinard also said that it was a hard and stren- ous job to kep a small church col lege open and operating efficiently. I have no idea who will be my successor but I hope that you, my friends, will give him all tlhe moral support possible for it’s only those who are in the position as a presi dent of a small college institution who realizes how strenous the Job is, said the well known educator. Give him your whole support for Newberry College must go on Dr. Kinard said. As a closing remark he said “Our prayer is that w^ile we live God make us wo^’v of our friends and God Bless you.” Dr. Kinard’s ability as a Christ ian leader and an orator has been recognized not only hy local peo ple but he has traveled through out the length and breadth of the United States to make hundreds of speeches at churches and other or ganizations.
